Yuan becomes U.S. citizen
Ur. Stephen Hsin-Sun Yuan,
asst, professor of mathematics
and computer science, experi-
enced one of the greatest thrills
in his life Feb. 25 when he be-
came a naturalized U.S. citizen.
At 3:11 p m. in Judge Belew's
courtroom in downtown Ft.
Worth, Dr. Yuan took the oath
of allegiance and citizenship,
culminating a long period of
study and commitment to legally
become an American citizen. Dr.
Yuan has been a faculty member
at Texas Wesleyan since 1982.
He is a native of the Republic
of China (Taiwan).
The group of new naturalized
citizens who took the oath last
Thursday numbered 89 and in-
cluded people originally from
China, Vietnam, Laos, Kampu-
chea (Cambodia), Mexico, Iran,
Iraq and France among others
Excitement filled the courtroom
as they and their families and
friends gathered for the 3 p.m.

ceremony. Professors Art Cleve-
land. Michael Sewell and Walter
Toxey, and Dean Ronald Ballard
were there to congratulate Dr.
Yuan.
Dr. Yuan's wife is also becom-
ing a naturalized citizen but her
file was misplaced and she will
not have the oath administered
until next month's ceremony.
The Yuans view this as “two
opportunities to celebrate.” Dr.
Yuan said the event was “the
second most exciting thing that
has ever happened to me. The
first was when I was baptized in
the name of Christ."
Dr. Yuan also legally changed
his name to Stephen Yuan; his
legal Chinese name was Hsin-
Sun Yuan. He is excited about
being able to vote in the Novem-
ber election, but said he regrets
not being able to register in
time to vote in the Super Tues-
day primary in Texas.

The Golden Shears Committee
presented awards to two stu-
dents recently.
Senior Ralph Adkins was given
the Golden Shears award by
committee chairman Susan Jus-
tus at the showing of the movie
“Stakeout," Feb. 11.
An active member of Alpha
Phi Omega, Adkins serves as
president of the Quadrangle
Honor Society and is a Gamma
Sigma Sigma Big Brother. The
Missouri native is also a mem-
ber of Alpha Chi, Phi Beta
Lambda and the Financial Man-
Speakers at the ceremony
commended the new citizens, en-
couraged them to be active, par-
ticipatory citizens and reminded
them of other naturalized citi-
zens who have succeeded in the
land of opportunity: Levi Strauss,
creator of dungarees; Albert
Einstein; and Henry Kissinger,
former U.S. secretary of state
and national security advisor.
■ Judge Belew reminded them
of the importance of the Bill of
Rights, which he said they prob-
ably know better than most U.S.
citizens born here, because of
their recent, intensive study of
the Constitution. He instructed
them to vote so that the system
will work, and observed that
they could not be elected Pres-
ident as they were not bom in
the United States. "You can be
a senator or representative. And
your children can be President,
so save that for them.”
agement Association. He works
on campus at the mail center.
Adkins was, “totally surpris-
ed" when Justus called his name
as the award recipient. “I had
no idea what was happening.
"1 have always thought the
award was a good idea. It’s a
nice honor to receive it.”
Junior Jim Hodson, who re-
ceived the Golden Shears award
Feb. 19, expressed the same
shock at his award.
“I was totally shocked and
surprised,” exclaimed Hodson.
“All the things I do on campus
I take for granted I guess, and I
finally got the chance to sit back
and take a look and go 'wow'.”
Hodson serves as president of
Alpha Phi Omega, treasurer of
SGA, secretary-treasurer of Om-
ega Chi, and is a Gamma Sigma
Sigma Big Brother. He has been
a resident assistant in Stella Rus-
sell Hall for the past two years.
He is planning to run for vice
president of SGA.
Hodson, who hails from Lud-
ington, Michigan, is a Christian
education major. After gradua-
tion from TWC, Hodson hopes to
attend Dallas Theological Semi-
nary and get a doctorate in Re-
ligious Education.
"I want to work as a Chris-
tian education director," explain-
ed Hodson. “I hope to work with
the youth . . . that's where my
emphasis would be.’’
Hodson enjoys raquetball, read-
ing Stephen King novels and
high-powered riflery. Among his

urday. Former Wesleyan profes-
sor. Dr. Ruth Keating is on the
planning committee for the
event.
Dr. Keating explained that the
Golden Shears pin was initially
given in 1938 by the Journalism
Department to honor outstand-
ing students. To date 1,162 stu-
dents have worn the pin.
"Wearers whose addresses
have been secured have been
sent a special invitation to a
Breakfast Brunch March 5 at 9
a.m. in the Dora Roberts Dining
Hall,” Keating informed in her
best classroom voice. “A special
‘Golden Years of the Golden
Shears' program is being plan-
ned."
Being active in the life of the
campus still, it was no surprise
that Keating had read a recent
editorial in The Rambler.
“I read the editorial to the
Guardians of the Golden Shears
at the college. I would say to the
writer of that editorial that there
are many Wearers of the Golden
Shears to back what she has
written. It Is an honor whenever
it is given. Our outstanding stu-
dents and alumni who are Wear-
ers continue to honor our Col-
lege with their successful, pro-
ductive lives,” Keating said.
