McCabe names Reismen as new athletic director
Lonn Reisman, assistant athletics
director and head men's basketball
coach at Tarleton State University,
has been promoted to athletics
director. Dr. Dennis P. McCabe,
president of Tarleton, announced
Saturday.
"Lonn Reisman has performed
admirably as Tarleton's assistant
athletics director and men's
basketball coach. He deserves this
opportunity," McCabe said.
"Tarleton's intercollegiate athletics
program will benefit greatly from
his vision, dedication, fund-raising
ability and enthusiasm. I expect
great tilings from Reisman in this
expanded roll at Tarleton," he said.
Reisman's promotion is effective
immediately. He replaces Dr. Ron
Newsome who resigned the position
on Sept. 1 to assume full-time
teaching duties in the Department of
Physical Education.
Reisman came to Tarleton from
Connors State Oklahoma Junior
College in 1988 as head basketball
coach. He was named assistant
athletics director in 1989.
Reisman received his bachelor's
degree in physical education from
Pittsburg State (Kansas) University
in 1977 and his master's degree in
educational administration from
Arkansas State University in 1981.
Reisman has experience coaching
at the high school, junior college,
NAIA, and NCAA level. He has
been as assistant at Coffeyville
Community College, Ft. Scott
Community College and
Southeastern Oklahoma State
University. He was head basketball
coach at Trumann High School in
Arkanas..
Reisman has guided Tarleton's
basketball program to a five-year
record of 118 -42. Tarleton has been
to the District 8 title game each of
the last four years and a national
playoff participant the last two years.

Career Services gets a
new look for a new year
Brig Lopez HI
Editor in Chief
Old adages never die, they just
rejuvenate. Take, for instance, "All
reads lead to Rome." With a small
exercising of journalistic liberty, let's
change this to read, "All roads lead
to a job." (Don't all graduates wish
that were true!)
One avenue available for ac-
cessing job sources is the Career
Services Center -formally known as
"the Placement Office." The Career
Services Center has undergone
several new changes besides the
name. TTiey now have several new
methods of being able to help
graduates as well as alumni in lo-
cating sources of employment.
Along with the many new ways
the Career Services Center can help
graduates and alumni find
employment, the newest would be
the System of Interactive Guidance
and Information, otherwise known
as SIGI. SIGI is an education testing
service for career guidance.
This computer program gives a
pint out of careers that would best fit
the individual. This then gives the
person an idea of what direction to
head for when choosing employment
Comparative testing is quite
expensive.
This sort of testing usually would
run an average of about $350 but
thanks to the Career Resource Center
graduate, alumni and undergraduates,
they are only charged a small fee.
"We are trying to move the office
into the computer age with data base
and new computer programs," said
Alice Gordon, Director of Career
Services. The Career Resource
Center, also in conjunction with the
Alumni Association, has also set up
the A.S.K. Program. This program
enables graduates along with Alumni
to be hooked up with volunteered
Alumni who graduated and are
employed with the same major.
The objective of this program is
for Alumni who have experience and
Cave holds annual 8-ball tournment
Christian Low
Staff' Writer
'i ' ,
Many of the new students
entering Tarleton might not realize
what is available to them in the
Student Center's Game Room, but
the dimly lit Cave holds many ac-
tivities to occupy those nights when
one does not wish to hit the books.
One of these activities offered is the
8-ball and 9-ball Tournament, open
to anyone who thinks they can play
pool. The tournament began
September 1, 1993, and will continue
until November 30, 1993.
Although the tournament began
earlier this month, it is not too late to
join. The entrance fee to this tourna-
ment is only $3, and anyone can
register for the tournament before 6
p.m. the day of the tournament An
added incentive to join in the fun is a
$300 custom cue, awarded to the
winner of the tournament.
The dates fcx1 the tournament vary.
To find out exact times, a calendar of
events can be found in the Game
Room, at the front desk.
Once the entry fee is paid, there
is nothing left to do, but win a few
games of pool. This might be tough
for beginners because there are
Billiards Leagues that are competing
in the same tournament
"You Don't Have To Win, You
Just Have To Be Here!" is all that the
flyer for the tournament says. So
anyone can join the tournament.
The tournament is on a double
elimination system; in order to win
, a player must win three out of five
games. A player accumulates points
for each match won. When the*
tournament ends in November, The
player with the most points at the
end of the tournament will win the
custom cue stick.
Hopefully this article has
aroused the interest of the many
ardent pool fans here at TSU. If so,
do not hesitate stopping by the
"Cave" for further details.
Supervisor Paul Patton will be happy
to answer any questions you have
concerning the tournament or any
other activities.
As assistant athletics director, he
helped organize such national events
as the 1990 and 1991 NAIA Outdoor
Track and Field Championships and
the 1992 NAIA Division n National
Men's Basketball Championship
Tournament. He has supervised
University Interscholastic League
regional events, helped organize and
supervise Tarleton football games,
and has worked to move the
university's athletic program toward
NCAA Division II affiliation.
"I'm grateful to the Tarleton
administration for putting their trust
in my abilities," Reisman said. "The
athletic department is on a solid
foundation and it is a privilege to
take over the direction of a program
which has been so enormously
successful."
Reisman stated his biggest goal
would be assuring a smooth
transition as Tarleton moves from
the NAIA to NCAA Division II
status.
"I hope to get the entire campus
and the extended Tarleton family
involved," he said. "We have an
outstanding institution and I believe
we can become the finest NCAA
Division II program in the country."
