Lady Tiger head coach Les Szabo, Ronald McDonald and other local celebrities compete in the "Big Scoop" Sundae contest.

community relations TIGERS, LADY TIGERS REACH OUT TO MID-SOUTH COMMUNITIES The men's and women's soccer programs at The University of Memphis are proud of their continued support from the Mid-South community, therefore both teams reach out whenever they can to give back to the people who are supportive of them. This past year, both the women's program and the men's program were very involved in community relations.

The "Big Scoop" for the Ronald McDonald House Women's head coach Les Szabo was one of several local celebrities to take part in the "Big Scoop" sundae contest. The contest which featured local television personalities, members of the Memphis Riverkings hockey team, Tiger football coach Rip Scherer and other local celebrities, was held in conjunction with the "Big Scoop" fundraiser at the MarriotT Hotel to help raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. Despite his strong efforts and obvious natural talent for making sundaes, Szabo came up short, as his Tutti Frutti surprise did not place in the top three, but the end results were several thousand dollars raised for the Ronald McDonald House.

The Bellevue Baptist Youth Soccer Clinic Joey Lewis was one of several players to take time to read to students at a class at Paleigh-Bartlett Meadows.

Coach Chris Bartels and several members of his team and coaching staff, held a free soccer clinic for youths of all ages at Bellevue Baptist Church. To say that the clinic was a success may be somewhat of an understatement, as several hundred youth players showed up for the one day clinic. The clinic was broken down into age groups, and each group got instruction in several different areas of the game. Despite the large numbers, the participants, as well as the players and coaches involved benefitted from the experience.

The East Memphis Soccer Association Lady TigerYouth Soccer Clinic Frances Currin works with a group of East Memphis Soccer Association players during a one day clinic.

Coach Les Szabo and his Lady Tiger soccer team spent a Saturday afternoon conducting a camp for nearly 400 members of the East Memphis Soccer Association. Szabo, along with his staff and players conducted the three hour clinic on The University of Memphis campus. The camp was broken down into several stations and the EMSA players, as well as some of the coaches, took part in the instructions. Despite the Memphis heat everyone involved seemed to enjoy the day's festivities. Following the clinic, the players and coaches stayed around and signed autographs for the clinic participants.

Tiger Soccer Players Visit Local Elementary Schools Steven Brooks (I) and Kurt Clemence (r) pose with elementary school students. 4 Memphis Soccer

Several Tiger soccer players visited local elementary schools, where they read and talked with the students. Students asked questions and some of the players demonstrated some basic skills of soccer to the students. The purpose of the school visits was to encourage the young students to get an education and to stay in school.

season outlook

WITH ALL BUT ONE STARTER RETURNING FROM LAST SEASON'S SQUAD THE TIGERS ARE READY TO CHALLENGE FOR THE CONEFERNCE USA CROWN Coach Chris Bartels knows in order to win championships you have to get the job done on the field, but if championships could be won on paper the University of Memphis Tiger soccer team may be a lock. Bartels has all but one starter returning from last year's team that won five of its final six games and gave plenty of national powerhouses all they could handle throughout the season. Gone is third leading scorer Fergal Forde, but with one of the nation's leading scorers in Rogerio Lima returning, the sting of Forde's departure will not be so hard to handle. Lima finished second in the Midwest Region last season with 32 points. The Belo Horizonte, Brazil native posted 11 goals and 10 assists despite smothering defenses. "There is no doubt in my mind that Rogerio is one of the best players in the country," Bartels said. "He is so talented with the soccer ball that people sometimes don't realize his skill level because he does it so effortlessly." While Lima will provide plenty of offense for the Tigers sophomore goalkeeper Brian Covey will once again be an iron curtain of defense in the nets. During his freshman season, the Germantown, Tenn., native posted a 1.08 goals against average which ranked him second in the Midwest Region. Covey also posted eight shutouts

Sophomore goalkeeper Brian Covey

to go along with his goals against average. "We knew we had a great goalkeeper when we signed Brian, but 1 am not sure we expected him to be that good that soon. He is not only a tremendous talent, but he is a natural leader on the field." Opponents should not be fooled however, as the Tigers are much more than a two-man team. Jeremy Tutor returns as the Tigers second leading scorer from a year ago. Playing along side Lima on the front line. Tutor registered eight goals and four assists for 20 points. Joining Lima and Tutor on the front line is sophomore standout Steven Brooks. As a freshman Brooks recorded 15 points including four goals and seven assists. "This could be the best scoring frontline we have had at Memphis in quite some time. Rogerio, Jeremy and Steven all three know how to put the ball in the back of the net and mix in Tommy White and Nick Glaser and it becomes a pretty solid line." The Tigers midfield will once again be about as solid as it could possibly be. Despite the loss of Forde from the midfield, the Tigers return seniors Ramon Aguillon, his brother Rolando and the ever steady Kurt Clemence. If that trio wasn't enough for opposing teams, mix in juniors Joey Lewis and Matt Briggs, as well as sophomores Eric Munoz and Michael Neff, and the Tigers have a formidable line of midfielders. Add to the mix freshman Hanjo Steinkampf and Jason Cutter and Bartels may have the most talented and deepest midfield anywhere. "Our midfield is veiy talented and deep this season," Bartels said. "We have a lot of experience coining back, and as a coach there is not a whole lot that can replace experience on the playing field." Defense has been an important part of the Tigers success over the years under Bartels and this year should be no exception. With Covey already being a solid line of defense in the nets, he should get plenty of help this season, as the Tigers return the majority of their

Sen/or forward Rogerio Lima back line players from a year ago that recorded eight shutouts and held opposing teams to just 21 goals. Bartels returns his top four defensemen from last season, in seniors Chris Morris and Jason Dunn, as well as sophomore sensations PhillipThiele and John Hormazabal. Dunn has become one of the conference's best defensive players, while Morris is returning from a knee injury that kept him out of action much of last season. The Canadian connection of Thiele and Hormazabal showed last year that while they were young they have a great understanding of the game. "We have always prided ourselves in playing tough defense, and that is not going to change this year. We have our top defenders back from last season and I look for opponents to really have to work hard if they are going to score many goals against our defense this year." The quartet of defensemen, along with Covey, allowed just 21 goals last season and have added some depth in freshmen Kris Gregory and Josh Johnson. Freshmen Robby Hagemann and John Stoever will backup Covey in the nets this season. "On paper this is a very impressive squad," Bartels said, "Unfortunately you can't play the season on paper. We have the opportunity to have a very special season if things go our way, but in order for that to happen we have to line up and play hard every time we take the field." Memphis Soccer?

the head coach

chris bartels As Chris Bartels enters his 10th season at the helm of the Tiger soccer program, he has established himself as one of the top coaches in the country. Under Bartels' guidance, The U of M has averaged 10 wins a season and has had just two losing years. Last season after a slow start which showcased some heartbreaking losses to some national powerhouses, Bartels' squad won five of its last six games. This season with a strong recruiting class and the loss of just one starter, Bartels and Co. look to be one of the favorites for the C-USA title. Bartels' Tigers are no strangers to success. Bartels' 1992 squad posted a 14-3-2 record. The 14 wins equaled the most ever by a Tiger soccer team, and the .789 winning percentage was the best ever for a U of M club. His teams produced 11 CMC all-conference selections, including two CMC tournament MVPs and four all-South selections. But Bartels' most impressive accomplishments may be in the area of academics. Bartels not only brings the best out of his athletes on the field, but in the classroom as well. His teams have consistently been recognized by both the University and the conference for their academic achievements. The Tigers placed nine members on the Great Midwest Conference AllAcademic Team in 1993 and 11 in 1992. In 1992 and 1993, The U of M recognized Bartels' Tigers as the team with the highest grade-point average. During that time, the soccer squad also had the highest graduation rate among The U of M athletic programs. Bartels' eye for talent paid off in 1992, as his 1990 recruiting class, his second, led the way in earning a tie with Saint Louis University as the regular season co-champions of the Great Midwest Conference. His third recruiting class helped lead the Tigers to their first NCAA appearance. Unsatisfied with the NCAA tournament snub in 1992, despite a 14-3-2 record, Bartels and the Tigers rallied in the 1993 GMC tournament to defeat nationally ranked SLU for the GMC title and the conference's first automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Since Bartels arrived at The U of M in 1988, he has seen major improvements in the program and the soccer facilities. Bartels has worked with The U of M Athletic Department, Tiger Clubs, and the Friends of Soccer club to make major improvements to Echles Field, home of the Tigers. In 1992, all of the hard work paid off. Permanent seating was increased to 1,000 and the Tigers averaged just under 800 fans per game. The season high was an overflow crowd of 1,290 against Saint Louis. A New Jersey native, Bartels attended River Dell High School in Oradell, N.J., before signing a soccer scholarship with Bowling Green State University. During his junior year at BGSU, Bartels worked in the public relations department for the New York Cosmos. After graduating in 1973 with a degree in journalism and public relations, Bartels stayed at BGSU as an assistant coach until he became a player/coach for the Athletes in Action soccer team. In 1980, Bartels returned to BGSU as an assistant coach and physical education instructor while earning a Master's degree in physical education. Bartels, who has worked as general manager or coach for three professional soccer teams, arrived in Memphis in 1982 as an assistant coach and player-personnel director for the Memphis Americans of the Major Indoor Soccer League. Later, he served as the head coach and General Manager of the Kalamazoo Kangaroos in the American Indoor Soccer Association. From 1986 to 1987 Bartels was General Manager of the Memphis Storm. Bartels and his wife Victoria, have three children: Teddy, 9; Ross, 7; and Thomas, 3.

assistant coaches

toni carbognani Toni Carbognani begins his fourth-year as assistant soccer coach for The University of Memphis after enjoying a 17-year professional soccer career. Carbognani brings to the Tigers knowledge about the game of soccer that can't be bought. His abilities as a player and coach have taken him around the world and back to Memphis. Carbognani made Memphis his permanent home in 1981 when he was with the Memphis Americans of the Major Indoor Soccer League. It was there when he first met Tiger head coach Chris Bartels. Bartels was the assistant coach of the Americans when Carbognani was acquired from the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League. Carbognani began his soccer career at age nine with the Huracan club in Buenos Aires and stayed with them until he was 20 years old when he signed his first professional contract with Indepcndiente, a second division team in Argentina. After three years, he was traded to San Telmo, another second division team. In his second year with San Telmo, his team won the championship and moved to the first division where he stayed for another year until he was traded to Barcelona, Ecuador. After three years in Barcelona, Carbognani signed with the Cosmos in 1979. While in New York, he played with some of the greatest names in

soccer. Pclc was gone, but Frank Beckenbauer was there. Beckenbauer, a German, is the only man to ever play on and coach World Cup champions. Carlos Alberto, a former Brazilian World Cup team captain was also Carbognani's Cosmos teammate. Carbognani played on several teams in the MISL and the National Professional Soccer League before closing out his professional career in 1991 with the NPSL champion Chicago Power. Since he has been with the Tigers, The U of M has shared a Great Midwest Conference regular season championship with 10-time national champion Saint Louis University, won one GMC tournament, and has been to the NCAA tournament. Carbognani also coaches the 15and 16-year-olds of the Memphis Futbol Club that has advanced to several state tournaments.

bobby fox A familiar face in the Memphis soccer community will once again be roaming the sidelines this season as Bobby Fox joins the Tiger coaching staff for his second season. Fox, who was born in Arkansas yet raised in Mannheim, Germany, has been a Memphis-area club coach and player for the past four years. Fox currently serves as assistant coach for Memphis Futbol Club's under-20 and under-19 teams, which have found great success over the past few years. His under-20 team first tied, then defeated the Croatian National Team in July of 1996 before making the trip to the national tournament in Indianapolis. Fox moved to Germany at a young age and learned the game of soccer through the Gentian club system. At the age of 13, he moved back

to Memphis to play the next six years for the Memphis Kickers under then-assistant club coach and current Tiger assistant Toni Carbognani. During that time, he also played six years in the state Olympic Development Program, coached by none other than Chris Bartels. Although he signed a scholarship to play for The U of M, family finances required that he work through school, forcing him to cancel his commitment to the Tigers. Fox continued as a coach and player for the Kickers before moving with his new Northwest Airlines job to Minnesota. In Minnesota, Fox stayed active in soccer, playing in the Minnesota State Selects league and coaching at both the youth and adult levels. Following his work in Minnesota, Fox returned to Memphis and has found a home with the MFC and, more recently, with his former mentors - Bartels and Carbognani - at The U of M. Fox, 31, is married to Shelley Fox and is currently raising two future soccer players in daughters Dallas,?, and Kateland, 5. Memphis Soccer9

tim mccage memorial scholarship The Tim McCage Memorial Scholarship is awarded to The University of Memphis' outstanding signee from the West Tennessee area. The scholarship is endowed by the McCage family and the Memphis soccer community and is named after Timothy Ireland McCage, a 1990 U of M signee who lost his life in an accident after his freshman season. While playing at The U of M, McCage competed in one match where he scored a goal and added an assist. In McCage's four-year Craigmont High School career, he scored 59 goals and assisted on 40 others in leading his teams to a 1990 Memphis City Championship and Tennessee State championships in 1986, '87 and '89. In his senior year he had outstanding matches against White Station and Raleigh-Egypt as he scored three and four goals, respectively. McCage also led his team to wins in the Germantown Invitational Tournament in Germantown, Tenn., and Lafayette Octoberfest Tournament in Lafayette, La. Individual honors garnered by McCage included being named the first recipient of the Peter Cardosi Sportsmanship Award in the Germantown (Tenn.) Invitational. He was Craigmont's leading scorer, MVP and varsity captain three consecutive years. In addition to soccer, McCage lettered as a kicker for two years for the Chiefs football team, and he recorded 23 extra points and nine field goals.

lady tiger season outlook WITH TWO SEASONS NOW UNDER THEIR BELTS, THE

LADY TIGER SOCCER TEAM HAS ITS SIGHTS SET ON MOVING TO THE TOP OF CONFERENCE USA With an abundance of returning talent and the strongest recruiting class to date. Lady Tiger soccer coach LCS Szabo can't help but be optimistic about the upcoming soccer season. The Lady Tigers return their top six scorers from last season, as well as their top three defenders from a squad that came on strong toward the end of the season to post an 8-13 record. "Toward the end of the 1996 season, we started to gel as a unit," Szabo said. "Most of these players have been together for two full seasons and the experience factor is starting to show with their play on the field." After a slow start last season, Szabo's Lady Tiger picked up momentum as they won three of their final four games. That momentum is what Szabo hopes they carry into the upcoming 1997 season. "We were really playing well at season's end last year." the third-year coach said. "With the talent we have retiming to this year's squad and the skill level of our newcomers, the opportunity to compete for a possible conference title is there, we just have to play hard for 90 minutes and make the most of our chances." Senior defender Shelley Heinz returns to anchor the 1997 version of the Lady Tigers. Last season Heinz earned first-team all-conference honors from her sweeper position. "Shelley is a remarkable player," Szabo said. "She is the backbone of our defense and her skills

allow her to do so many different things that help our team. I look for Shelley to be one of the top players in Conference USA this season." Heinz will be joined on the back line by j u n i o r Robin Waddell. Waddell was a key player on the Lady Tigers defensive unit a year ago. The Knoxville, Tenn.. native started and Two-time all-conference performer Shelley Heinz played in all 21 games for Szabo. Seniors Kara Murphy and Lesley Zmiirchiik also return to the backline this could finish as well. LuVonne Hill is another veteran player that season.

les szabo To say Les Szabo has the Lady Tiger soccer program headed in the right direction may be an understatement. Szabo has been the mastermind behind a young program that has been able to recruit quality talent and develop a solid foundation to build on. Me has surrounded himself with young but talented players, and Szabo's coaching prowess could be seen as the team has improved with each game during the program's first two seasons. Nobody expected the the Lady Tigers to be as competitive as they have been in their first two seasons, nobody except Szabo. During the program's inaugural season in 1995, Szabo led the Lady Tigers to five victories, and last year the improvement continued as his squad posted an 8-13 record, despite some heartbreaking losses early in the season. During the off-season, Szabo once again hit the recruiting trail and has compiled what he thinks is his deepest team talent wise to date. When it comes to coaching in the collegiate ranks. Szabo has plenty of experience. He has coached several collegiate ail-Americans, including, most recently, UCLA standout Brad Freidel, who was a member of the 1994 US World Cup team. Szabo has been involved with coaching soccer at various levels since 1980. In 1994, as a volunteer assistant for Tiger head coach Chris Bartels, Szabo worked with the Tiger goalkeepers. He also assisted Bartels in recruiting for the upcoming season. During the 1993-94 season, Szabo worked as the restricted earnings coach at Eastern Illinois University. While at LIU, he completed his Master's degree in sports management. From 1989-92, Szabo was head coach of women's soccer at John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio. In just four short seasons, he took the JCU team from a new program to a second-place finish in the Ohio Athletic Conference. Szabo's career record at John Carroll was 2535-1. From 1981-91, Szabo served as the director of coaching for the East-West Soccer Club of Ohio. From 1985-1987, he led the under-19 boys' teams

to three consecutive final four appearances in the McGuire Cup National Championship Tournament. In 1990, his under-19 boys' team finished second in the Dallas Cup and his under-23 men's team placed second in the professional division of the Harlem Cup in Holland. Szabo has also worked as the director of coaching for the East-West Ambassadors (19881994). This sports tour, marketing and promotions business is responsible for allowing American soccer players to compete in more than 15 countries on 10 different tours. In 1980-81, Szabo worked as the facility manager and community liaison director for the Cleveland Force, a professional indoor soccer club. Szabo has also been active in Memphis youth soccer, coaching several of the area youth teams.

Head coach Les Szabo has quickly molded the Lady Tiger soccer team into a contender in Conference USA

LADY TIGER ASSISTANT

pair? kalinoski Pam Kalinoski joined The University of Memphis women's soccer staff as one of the most decorated women in NCAA soccer history. But the road to the top for Kalinoski started at the bottom - as a walk-on. Kalinoski is again accepting a great challenge in helping build the Lady Tiger soccer program. The native of North Olmsted, Ohio was named a high school all-American her senior year in 1986. At the same time, Kalinoski played for the East-West Soccer Club of Ohio under current U of M women's head coach Les Szabo. Upon completion of her senior season, Kalinoski hoped to receive a scholarship from perennial soccer powerhouse North Carolina. Although the scholarship offer never came Kalinoski still chose to walk on to the Lady Tarheel squad. Kalinoski met the challenge by helping the Lady Tarheels to four undefeated seasons and four consecutive NCAA titles from 1987-1991. During that time, Kalinoski made a name for herself in the soccer community by earning a starting position in the North Carolina midfield and capturing Offensive Most Valuable Player honors at the 1991 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship Tournament. As captain of the Lady Tarheels her senior season, Kalinoski set a perfect example for players to come by finishing her campaign as the NCAA's career assists leader. Her record was broken two years later by a fellow teammate Mia Hamm. However, her name remains in the UNC record book in several categories.

She is first in consecutive matches with an assist (12 matches between 10/13/91 to 11/24/91), second in career assists with 51 and second in most assists in a season with 28 assists in 1991. Kalinoski also led the team off the field, where she was named to the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Honor Roll, the UNC Dean's List and the NCAA Freshman All-America team. Kalinoski joined The U of M staff after spending three years working in public relations in Sacramento, Calif. During what spare time she has, Kalinoski is actively involved in coaching Kalinoski and Szabo have turned a friendMemphis-area youth teams ship into a successful coaching tandem. and also provides specialized skill instruction at the annual U of M youth soccer camps.

LADY TIGER ASSISTANT

brooks monaghan After a brilliant three-year playing career at The University of Memphis, Brooks Monaghan begins his third season as an assistnt coach for the Lady Tigers. Monaghan will be a vital part of coach Les Szabo's staff as he will help groom the Lady Tigers' goalkeepers for the upcoming season. Monaghan split time last season with the men's and women's team, and will again be called upon to assist both programs' goalkeepers. Monaghan was a three-year starter for the Tigers after transferring from the University of Evansville following his freshman season. Monaghan, who was a prep standout for Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, returned to his hometown to become an immediate impact on The U of M program. Monaghan led the Tigers to their best season ever in 1992 as his stingy goaltending helped Memphis compile a school-best 14-3-2 record and claim the cochampionship of the Great Midwest Conference. Of the 14 wins the Tigers posted

in 1992,11 of those were shutouts by Monaghan. In fact, his 11 shutouts in 1992 were the most ever in a season by a Tiger goalkeeper. Monaghan finished the 1992 season with a goals against average of 0.80. Monaghan's success didn't end there. In 1993, after a disappointing regular season, Monaghan switched into high gear for the Great Midwest Conference Tournament, leading the Tigers to the CMC crown and the team's first ever berth in the NCAA tournament. Since that time, he has continued to play at the club and semiprofessional level, most recently with the New Orleans Gamblers of the USISL. Monaghan's success on the soccer field began during his prep playing days at Christian Brothers High School. Christian Brothers won two Tennessee state championships during his career with the Purple Wave. Monaghan received the highest honor that a prep player can receive when he was named a high school all-American after the 1991 season. Monaghan was also a two-time all-state performer for David Deitrich at CBHS. Memphis Soccer 31

the president Dr. V. Lane Rawlins PRESIDENT

(BYU,

1963)

Since becoming president of The University of Memphis in 1991, Dr. V. Lane Rawlins has instituted positive changes in the areas of academics, administration and student affairs at the University. Further, he has gained the support of leaders from business, campus, and community in charting The U of M's path for the future. Under Dr. Rawlins' guidance, the University has put greater emphasis on innovative undergraduate education, on excellence in research and graduate education, on interpersonal communication and understanding, and on improving the internal workings of the University. Task forces he appointed have created fresh approaches to diversity, public image, planning and budgeting, research and scholarship, enrollment management, technology, and undergraduate education. One of the most important - and certainly the most visible - of Dr. Rawlins1 accomplishments has been the $26.5 million, Ned R. McWherter Library, which houses more than one million bound volumes and state-of-the-art computer facilities.

But the president's activities have not been limited to the campus. He also represents the University in the community, serving on a number of boards, a few of which include the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Memphis, Goals for Memphis, Memphis Partners and Free the Children. In a wider venue, he was instrumental in the formation of Conference USA, a 12-inember all-sports conference, and served as chairman of the Board of Directors in its first year. Dr. Rawlins also serves as Conference USA's representative on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. Before coming to Memphis, Dr. Rawlins was vice chancellor of Academic Affairs for the University of Alabama system. Earlier he had spent 17 years at Washington State University, rising from an assistant professor of economics to chairman of the economics department to vice provost. The Rigby, Idaho, native earned his Bachelor of Science degree in economics from Brigham Young University in 1963 and his doctorate in economics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1969. He has served in research positions with the Brookings Institution and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and as a consultant to the U.S. Dept. of Labor and the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.

Dr. Rawlins has co-authored two books dealing with public service employment, written portions of 10 other books, and published a number of articles in professional journals. He is a member of Blue Key honorary fraternity, Omicron Delta Epsilon, Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi and the Alabama Academy of Sciences. Dr. Rawlins and his wife, Maiy Jo, have three children and six grandchildren.

TENNESSEE BOARD OF REGENTS The University of Memphis is proud to be a member institution of the State University and Community College System of Tennessee, which is governed by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The system includes six universities, 12 community colleges and 26 area technology centers and was established by the General Assembly in 1972.

the university of memphis athletic committee The Athletic Committee at the University of Memphis is comprised of a chairman, Dr. Nate Essex, vice-presidents, provost, the Director of Business and Administrative Services and eight faculty and staff members who serve four-year terms on a staggered basis. The committee also includes two student voting members and two student alternate members who vote only in case a voting student member is not in attendance. The purpose of the committee is to serve in a advisory capacity to the president on matters involving athletics. The committee assists in the development of broad program policies for the University men's and women's intercollegiate athletic programs. The committee also reviews and approves the policies and procedures for awarding grant-in aid to student athletes. They certify, through the chairman, the eligibility of student athletes for intercollegiate sports. The committee reviews proposed appointments to the coaching staff made by the Director of Athletics and recommend to the

President for appointment by him candidates deemed qualified for the position. They review scheduling of intercollegiate athletic contests and proposed budgets prepared by the Director of Athletics and submit recommendations through standard University budget review procedures. The organizational meeting shall be called as soon as the membership is confirmed to familiarize members with the committee purpose and to determine the schedule of future meetings. Thereafter, meetings will be held as necessary to fulfill the committee's functions. The committee provides the president with an annual report containing information on activities, issues and proposed solutions discussed by the committee. The report also contains recommendations for the coming year.

R. c. Johnson ATHLETIC DIRECTOR (Iowa, 1965)

R.C. Johnson, I who has worked for the past 26 years in athletic administration and most recently served as the athletic director at Temple University, was named the Director of Athletics at The University of Memphis on December 29, 1995. "Clearly, R.C. Johnson is one of the premier athletic directors in the country," said University of Memphis President Dr. V Lane Rawlins. "We were seeking an individual with people skills, as well as a deep caring about studentathletes and their futures. "We searched long and hard for someone whom we felt had the talents to fit The University of Memphis and the Memphis community, someone who was well respected in NCAA circles. We checked every resource that was available and feel that we could not have found a more qualified individual with a better record." Upon arrival at The University of Memphis, Johnson introduced himself to members of the athletic department staff and immediately set out to meet Tiger supporters, community members, athletes and fans. His strong public relations background has placed Johnson in front of numerous local and area civic organizations since his arrival. He additionally has started a campaign to add a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex to the current Athletic Office Building, a new basketball practice facility that will be located adjacent to the HPER Building on Echles Street and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex on Memphis' south campus. During the spring of 1997, Johnson negotiated the richest radio broadcast package in Tiger athletic history with WGKX-FM 106 in Memphis. The two-year agreement calls for KIX to pay the University $360,000 for football and men's basketball rights in 1997-98 and $325,000 for the 1998-99 seasons. In his short tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger Clubs

Board of Directors and the athletic director's Visitors Board of Directors. Johnson has conducted several meetings with the Memphis Park Commission to add a greater presence for the Tigers in Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium. Numerous signs will appear in the Liberty Bowl this fall indicating that the stadium is the "home of the Tigers." At Temple, Johnson was responsible for directing a program with more than 500 studentathletes in 20-men's and women's intercollegiate sports, including nationally visible programs in men's basketball and football. He was named Temple's director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after a national search. The former Temple athletic director enjoys a reputation for building private and corporate support for intercollegiate athletics and for developing strong academic services for studentathletes. Highlights of his tenure at Temple include: the origination of a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee; the origination of the Athletic Director's Honor Roll for student-athletes; the reorganization of the Athletic Department infrastructure; chairing the Atlantic 10 Conference Membership Committee and representing the Big East Conference on the Gender-Equity Task Force. Johnson was hired at Temple after nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. During his tenure at Miami University, Johnson was responsible for numerous programs that enhanced the stature and image of the Ohio institution. A strong believer in a quality education for student-athletes, Johnson emphasized academic integrity and excellence during his time at Miami University. At the time he departed for Temple, Miami University had 15 student-athletes with a perfect 4.0 GPA, 62 student-athletes with a 3.50 or better GPA and 191 studentathletes with a 3.00 GPA or better. Before becoming athletic director at Miami University, Johnson was athletic director at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88. He was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from

the athletic director 1974 to 1980. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant football coach at Mankato State University from 1968-74. He coached at Youngstown State University during the 1967 and '68 seasons. Prior to joining the staff at Youngstown State, Johnson served as an assistant coach at Northern Iowa for two years (196567) and the University of Iowa (1963-65). A native of Ottawa, IL, Johnson has his bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Iowa and a master's in physical education from the University of Northern Iowa. He is a member of the NCAA, the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Communications Committee, the Conference USA Expansion Committee, the College Football Association Board of Directors, the NCAA Division 1 -A Athletic Directors Association, the NCAA Football Issues Committee and is a member of the newly appointed Memphis Sports Authority. Johnson and his wife Melba have three children, sons Jeff and Paul, and a daughter Michelle.

the university More than 80 years ago, The University of Memphis began as a small state teacher's college. Today, The U of M is a major center for learning and research. The University of Memphis' roots date back to 1912, when radio was young, motion pictures were silent and William Howard Taft was in the White House. Named West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution's main purpose was to train and educate secondary-school teachers. Answering the need for a comprehensive school in the Mid-South, WTSNS expanded its curriculum. In 1941, the school's name changed to Memphis State College and in 1957, the college received university status and became Memphis State University. On July 1,1994, the name was changed to The University of Memphis. The U of M now has more than 20,000 students and a physical plant comprising 1,160 acres on seven different sites. The main campus lies in the center of a sprawling metropolis and combines the convenience of a large city with the atmosphere of a residential neighborhood. South Campus, which was once a veteran's hospital, is home to the Billy J. Murphy Sports Complex and student family housing. Students and faculty members can conduct environmental research at the Edward J. Meeman Biological Field Station, which The University of Memphis has the highest academic entrance requirements of any public four-year institution in the state of Tennessee or the Mid-South. encompasses more than 600 acres of forest, wetlands and fields some 25 miles from the campus. Chucalissa Museum, a reconstructed American Indian village, is also part of the University's anthropological studies program. The University is guided by the principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity. With instruction, service and research as interdependent goals, the University commits its resources to the social, cultural and economic welfare of the region through partnerships with public and private organizations.

The 62,380-seat Liberty Bowl serves as the home of Tiger football.

The University of Memphis Tiger athletic family has many places to call home for intercollegiate athletics. In 1970, the University of Memphis Athletic Department officially opened the Kennedy Sportsplex, a 140-acre complex located just south of the main campus. The complex serves as the home of the Tiger football, baseball, soccer and track teams and offers workout facilities for all U of M sports. Since that time, however, the facility has taken on a new name and is now called the Billy J. Murphy Complex. The complex was renamed in honor of former Memphis head football coach and athletic director Billy J. Murphy. The main building at Murphy Complex features a newly renovated 50-yard indoor practice field with an artificial surface. This field

is used for workouts when the weather prohibits outdoor practices and is also used by the baseball team for winter workouts. Also housed in the main building is a modern, well-equipped training room, the football equipment room, the football locker room, sauna and steam rooms and film and meeting rooms, as well as locker rooms for the baseball and track teams. Located behind the main building are four outdoor football fields, used for fall and spring practices. The new Billy J. Murphy Weight Training facility opened in January of 1993 and is now in use by all University of Memphis student-athletes. The 10,500 squarefoot facility is one of the largest of its kind in the country and features the latest in strength training equipment.

Comprised of 14 distinguished universities in 12 major television markets, the formation of Conference USA was considered by many a bold move. The union of 12 charter members was initially formed as a comprehensive Division I-A league and quickly capitalized on the strengths of its member institutions, building a strong foundation to make its mark on intercollegiate athletics into the 21 st century. Conference USA (C-USA) includes founding members UAB, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, UNC Charlotte, Saint Louis, South Florida, Southern Mississippi and Tulane, and football only members East Carolina and Army. C-USA member institutions span 13 states across the United States, more than any other Division I-A conference. The conference officially unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995 at Harry Caray's Restaurant in Chicago. Michael L. Slive was named the first commissioner of Conference USA by the presidents of the 12 institutions. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. Conference USA recently added East Carolina and the United States Military Academy as football members only. The league added East Carolina in September, 1996 and Army in March, 1997, with ECU beginning league competition this fall and Army beginning play in 1998. Conference USA sponsors 18 sports, including Division I-A football, which concluded its first season in 1996. The league sponsors championship competition in the following men's sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field (indoor and outdoor). C-USA also sponsors the following women's sports: basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball. Rifle is a combined sport. The league's championship competition is enhanced by NCAA automatic bids to the C-USA tournament champion in volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's soccer and baseball. Conference USA concluded its inaugural football season in 1996 ranked seventh among Division IA conferences. Six member institutions (Cincinnati, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, Southern Mississippi, and Tulane) competed for the first Conference USA football championship. Houston and Southern Miss shared the crown, with the Cougars earning the league's invitation to the St. Jude Liberty Bowl. The league has a five-year football television contract with Fox Sports Net, which includes a conference game of the week, along with appearances on ESPN, ESPN2, ABC and CBS. Additionally, UAB, a charter member of CUSA, will begin competition on the gridiron in 1999.

conference usa C-USA schools will play six conference games through 1999. Conference USA is consistently rated as one of the top basketball leagues in the country. Beginning with the 1997-98 season, men and women's basketball will move from three divisions to two. Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette, UNC Charlotte and Saint Louis comprise the American Division, while UAB, Houston, Memphis, South Florida, Southern Miss and Tulane make up the National Division. In its first two seasons, C-USA men's basketball produced 13 postseason teams (eight NCAA and five NIT), including two teams that reached the final eight of the NCAA Tournament and one that advanced to the final four of the NIT. The conference is entering year three of a six-year basketbal 1 television agreement with ESPN Regional Television (formerly Creative Sports) andESPN. Women's basketball has also enjoyed success the past two seasons. FiveC-USA schools received NCAA Tournament bids in 1997andfourearnedbidsin 1996. That was the third highest total among Division I conferences in each of those seasons. Women's basketball, along with volleyball, soccer and baseball, enjoy significant television exposure on Fox Sports Net and ESPN. Other C-USA accomplishments during the league's first two seasons include: five NCAA volleyball appearances, with Louisville reaching the Sweet Sixteen in 1996; three NCAA men's soccer appearances, with UNC Charlotte's 1996 team becoming the first Conference USA school to reach an NCAA Final Four; four teams in the NCAA Baseball Championship and several NCAA individual and team competitors in golf, tennis and track and field. Conference USA student-athletes are champions on and off the playing fields. In 1997, nine studentathletes earned national GTE Academic All-America honors, while 19 were named All-District. Over the past two seasons, more than 1300 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll or received the Commissioner's Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. The conference annually awards six postgraduate scholarships, along with the Sport Academic Award, Scholar Athletes of the Year and the Institutional Academic Excellence Award. The presidents of the 14 member institutions serve as Conference USA's Board of Directors, chaired by Dr. Joseph Steger of Cincinnati. C-USA has been designated one of eight conferences that will have direct representation on the Division I Board of Directors in the new NCAA governance structure. Commissioner Slive serves on the NCAA Management Council.

tiger traditions why tigers? When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team, tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, "We fight like Tigers". The nickname was born. More and more the nickname "Tigers" was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use "Normals" or the "Blue and Gray" when referring to the University. Under coach Lester Barnard in 1922, Normal's football team gave a ring of truth to that old student yell about Tigers. The team adopted a motto - "Every Man A Tiger" and went on to score 174 points while allowing their opponents just 29 points. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the "Teachers" or "Tutors". The Tiger nickname would return. But not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis.

a bengal for a mascot For approximately 22 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis athletics has been the Bengal Tiger. TOM II, the name of the current mascot, puts in personal appearances at all Tiger football games, as well as numerous basketball games. TOM II has also been seen at Tiger baseball, soccer and women's basketball games. The first tiger, purchased by the Highland Hundred (football booster group) in 1972, lived for 20 years and was housed at the Memphis Zoo. TOM died in February of 1992. The story of how the first Tiger cub arrived in Memphis is quite interesting. On November 9, 1972, the baby tiger was placed in a dog kennel in Michigan City, IN, and flown to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. There it was placed aboard a Delta flight and arrived in Memphis at 3:00 AM. C. Cleveland Drennon,

an attorney and president of the Highland Hundred, approved a check for SI,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference. In ceremonies at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University on November 11, 1972. The zookeeper, at the suggestion of his daughter, called the little tiger, Shane. Once in Memphis, however, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries came in to a committee chaired by Judge Harry Pierotti. The list ran from Spook, Sampson, Goliath, Bengo, Sultan, Sahib, Big Cat, Ptah, Touchdown, Sonny, and Shiloh to Bengie Wougie Bengal Boy from Tennessee. Finally, the judges reduced the list to two: Shane and TOM, for Tigers of Memphis. TOM won. During his first few months in Memphis, Bill Proctor housed the tiger in his garage, which was redecorated by the Highland Hundred. TOM was guarded by Proctor's hound dog. TOM II came to the University of Memphis in the fall of 1992 and is housed at his new home at Nixon Farms in Collierville, TN. His new home is 3500 square feet and includes two pools, a waterfall, heated and air conditioned den box and has separately, a complete medical facility for his care and upkeep. The young tiger is nearly 500 pounds and is expected to be as large or larger than his predecessor, TOM,

who was once the largest Bengal Tiger in captivity at 550 pounds.

school colors The University of Memphis' official school colors of Royal Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togeth1 students.

the logo The University of Memphis' official logo was designed by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping tiger coming out from behind the letters. The new logo is an "M" with a leaping tiger coining up over the center of the "M".
