RHS grad Stephen Higgins
admitted to the Citadel
Stephen Higgins has been ac-
cepted for admiaaion to the Citadel
in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Citadel is one of the four des-
ignated essential military colleges
in the nation-The Citadel, West
Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force
Academy.
The Citadel was established as a
military college in 1842 and haa op-
erated in it's present location since
1922. The Corps of Cadets main-
tains a strength of approximately
2000 cadets.
The Citadel haa produced many
outstanding leaders for our nation.
The primary purpose of the Citadel
is, to educate undergraduates as
members of the Corps of Cadets and
prepare them for positions of leader-
ship through academic programs
supported by the best features of a
structured military environment.
The cadet lifestyle provides an envi-
ronment which supports the growth
and development ofcharacter, physi-
cal fitness, and moral and spiritual
principles.
The Citadél recognizes that the
excellence of its educational pro-
grams is dependent upon the qual-
ity of its faculty. 90% of the full time
facility members at the Citadel hold
the highest degree possible Ih their
respective fields.
The military environment at the
Citadel attempts to draw out and
cultivate such values as truth, honor,
integrity, and courage.
The Citadel seeks to enroll well-
rounded mature students whose
motivation and educational achieve-
ments indicate that they are pre-
pared to do college-level work in a
military environment.
Admissions decisions are based on
an overall evaluation of an appli-
cants high school record, college en-
trance examination score, and rec-
ommendations of the high school
councilors and faculty. These rec-
ommendations are given consider-
able weight in the acceptance deci-
sion because they represent judg-
ments on ability and maturity which
are derived from actual experience
with the applicant during his forma-
tive years.
The Citadel determines acceptabil-
ity through a thorough evaluation of
each applicants character, maturity,
motivation, readiness for college,
amenability to a regimented lifestyle,
emotional stability, and potential to
contribute to cadet life.
Stephen is the first Rusk High
School graduate to ever be accepted
for admission to the Citadel. He is
the son of Glenn and Sandra Higgins
and the grandson of Bess and the
late M.G. Higgins and Mavis and
Edd J. Wallace.
Character of grand jury
foreman questioned
Defense attorneys Craig Caldwell
and Allen Ross are questioning the
legality of a grand jury indictment
against their client, Donald Frank
Christie in a pre-trial hearing.
They alledge that the charges
against Mr. Christie should be dis-
missed as the Grand Jury Foreman,
Faye Warm si ey, is not of good moral
character.
Mr. Caldwell said last week that
the law states a grand jury member
should be of good moral character and
we are challenging that because "that
ain't the way it is. She isn't of good
moral character and we think the
indictment should be squashed."
Mrs. Warmaley, former executive
director of East Texas Family Ser-
vices, resigned from her position in
late November 1996 after it became
know that she had used a corporate
credit card for gambling activities in
Bossier City, La.
Pre-trial hearing in the capital
murder trial of Mr. Christie began
Tuesday morning and continued into
Wednesday. He is charged with the
shooting death of Loletta Michelle
Johnson, 21, of Jacksonville on July
20,1996. Also injured in the shoot-
ing were Hemy Cumbie Jr., 31, and
Edra Johnson, 23, both of Jackson-
ville.
Mr. Christie is also charged with
organized crime.
Also charged in the incident is
Ancil Walt Hopson of Jacksonville,
who faces the same charges that Mr.
Christie does.

regularly scheduled mammogram), now is the time
