NEWSLETTER OF SCHREINER UNIVERSITY
President’s Perspective
September 2005 Volume VIIII, Number 2
By Dr. Tim Summerlin
Inspirational coach sees education—not sports —as the key to a successful life
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses… let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.” (Heb. 12:1) The writer of Hebrews was referring to the life of faith in his athletic metaphor, but he provided us with a memorable phrase applicable to many sorts of endeavors. And since our work at Schreiner is rooted in our faith, those words often come to mind, certainly recently, upon the deaths of two great Oaks, Clarence Dietert and Col. Dick Hosler.
Richmond (California) High School basketball coach Ken Carter made headlines all over the country in the mid-90s when he banned his undefeated varsity basketball team from practicing or competing until they improved their grades. His unprecedented move greatly enhanced his inner-city players’ chances to get into college and have successful lives. It was something that he understood well, having been a star basketball player at that same high school. But unlike most of his classmates, he used his athletic talent along with his academic
Clarence Dietert, member of a pioneering Hill Country family, lived and worked in Kendall County. In his home office you could see proudly mounted his certificate of accountancy, earned in 1936. That office was as ordered as his mind and his work habits. Each document had the date of receipt recorded neatly in the corner. I did not know Mr. Dietert well, but Schreiner President Emeritus Sam Junkin was his long-time friend and confidant. With Sam he shared his interest in Schreiner University and its future, and with Sam he committed to leave a generous share of a charitable trust to Schreiner. Interestingly, he was not drawn to an obvious possibility, such
skills to go to college and become a successful businessman. Carter’s story became the recent movie “Coach Carter” starring Samuel L. Jackson and propelled him into the limelight again. Today Carter is a motivational speaker who has a powerful message about the importance of education and the lessons of sports. He calls it “Average Is Just Not Good Enough. Period.” Coach Carter will speak at Schreiner University September 13 at 7 p.m. in the Cailloux Campus Activity Center. The event has been underwritten by funding from Schreiner University’s LaBatt Speaker Series and its Student Activities Board, as well as a grant from NCAA Initiatives Division III. The event is free and the public is invited.

New Leaders announced for Hill Country College Fund
Bob Waller
Diane Green
HCCF Chairman Broadway Bank
HCCF Vice-Chairman Kerr County Abstract & Title Co.
Schreiner University’s 2005-2006 HCCF campaign will officially kick off on Sept. 7, with the goal of raising $530,000 to fund need-based tuition assistance grants for students from Kerr, Gillespie, Kendall, Kimble, Bandera, Edwards and Real counties. Two local business leaders have taken on the challenge of leading this very important campaign. Bob Waller, Kerrville Market President of the Broadway National Bank, will be chairman of the Hill Country College Fund, and Diane Green, owner of Kerr County Abstract & Title Co., will serve as vice-chairman. “I volunteer to work for the University because I have seen and spoken with students whose lives have been positively changed because of the funding made possible through the Hill Country College Fund,” says Waller. “There are prospective students with substantial potential that have problems funding an education. These funding problems can often keep them from starting or continuing the university education process. The Hill Country College Fund can help these qualified people become future leaders in our society.”
President’s Perspective continued from page 1 as endowing a position in accounting. Rather, as Sam notes, when they talked, “the only time his face lit up and he talked with some animation was when we talked about the library.” And so, thanks to Clarence Dietert, Schreiner’s William Logan Library will receive a generous endowment. Dick Hosler, by contrast, loved to talk about the things that interested him, and a strong liberal arts education was at the heart of them. After a long career in the military and as an attorney, he vividly recalled the professors who had stimulated his mind. Few people have ever been as full of life as Dick was, down to his last days. He delighted in meeting new friends, telling them solemnly, “I’m the meanest man in Kerr County,” and then lighting up his face with a grin that belied the boast. He loved to visit our campus for dinners, musical events and faculty occasions. Several years ago, Dick Hosler established an annual award for teaching excellence in memory of his beloved wife Maggie. When Dick died early this summer, he left an endowment to ensure that the Hosler Award would continue in perpetuity. He also made generous provision for student scholarship aid. Different as they were, both of these men admired what they saw in the spirit and mission of Schreiner, and both stepped out to provide a strong base for the continuation of that work. We see them still behind our shoulders, part of that great cloud, and their witness is powerful incentive to us to persevere in the work they cared so much about.
Vocational Nursing Grads
“Education has always been important to our family,” says Green. “My husband was deputy superintendent for KISD and my two children are both teachers—Kim at Starkey Elementary in Kerrville and my son Brandon at middle school in the San Antonio ISD.” Green’s ties to Schreiner extend into history. Her Kerr County Abstract & Title Company on Earl Garrett Street is in the restored Beddingfield boarding house where commuting teachers and students from distant Hill Country counties used to live during the week—including several Schreiner instructors. The Hill Country College Fund began in 1977 and since then has awarded $7.5 million to Schreiner students from Kerr and surrounding Hill Country counties. 2

SU gets first full-time AD
Coaching changes/new faces:
Ron Macosko has been named the first full time athletic director in Schreiner’s history. Macosko brings a strong athletic management background to SU, having served for four years as athletic director at Concord University (NCAA Division II) in Athens, West Virginia. When Macosko left Concord to assist his wife, a golfer on the LPGA Tour, he had transformed a struggling athletic department into a viable healthy program. As a result of Macosko’s efforts, the intercollegiate athletic department’s overall grade point average improved, graduation and retention rates increased, tickets sales escalated, and marketing and fund-raising campaigns had increased support.
Women’s Basketball Head Coach—Jeanette McKinney served as assistant coach at Concordia University at Austin for the last three years. McKinney takes on sports information director duties as well.
Macosko will face similar challenges at Schreiner. “As central as our intercollegiate athletic program is, we knew it was time to hire a full-time athletic director,” states Schreiner University president, Dr. Tim Summerlin. “We are excited to have attracted someone as talented and experienced as Ron Macosko in that role. Ron is someone who can work with our coaches in recruiting studentathletes who can excel in competitive programs, and he will take the lead in further developing intercollegiate athletics at Schreiner.”
Women’s Soccer Head Coach—Neal Ellis served as the assistant coach to the men’s soccer team for the last two years. The 2005 women’s soccer season will be Ellis’ first as a collegiate head coach.
Sports Medicine/Head Athletic Trainer—Lisa Chinn joins the Mountaineers after graduating with highest distinction from Valparaiso University with a master of science degree in sports administration. A certified athletic trainer, Chinn will be responsible for all aspects of sports medicine for SU student-athletes.
Baseball Junior Varsity Head Coach—SU alumnus Rodney Holland will wear the maroon and white again, this time as coach rather than player. After an outstanding collegiate career, he played minor league baseball for the Chicago Cubs. This will be Holland’s first season in the coaching ranks.
Athletics web page gets facelift If you haven’t visited Schreiner’s Athletics Department Web page recently, you might want to check it out. It features a new look, new information about the athletics staff, fall sports schedules and will be continually updated.
Macosko is an alumnus of Ohio University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing. He holds a master’s degree in sports management from St. Thomas University. He and his wife, Anna, reside in Kerrville with their son, Ben.
We are committed... to keeping you informed about Schreiner’s people and programs while being a good steward of the university’s resources. To that end, we ask that you help by sending us your e-mail address so that we may spend less on paper, printing and postage, and more on delivering a high quality Schreiner education to present and future generations of students. Just e-mail JJStaudt@schreiner.edu. Thank you. 4

Texas Heritage Living History Weekend, another way of learning The Texas Heritage Music Foundation is proclaiming September 23–25 as Texas Heritage Living History Weekend. Highlight of the weekend is the ninth edition the Texas Heritage Living History Day on Friday; this year’s theme is “Another Way of Learning: Using Stories and Songs.” The Texas Heritage Seminar is scheduled Saturday and the Literacy in Learning Benefit Concert will be Sunday. Thanks to generous local support, the Friday and Saturday events will be free and all are open to the public. Dr. Kathleen Hudson, Schreiner University English professor and executive director of the Texas Heritage Music Foundation (THMF), states, “Each year, we find new ways to bring stories and songs to the community, to the educational system, and to children and young adults who are deemed ‘at risk.’ THMF is motivated by the belief that telling stories and singing songs does make a difference in the lives of everyone, especially our youth.” Thousands are expected for the September 23 main event at the Robbins-Lewis Pavilion on the Schreiner University campus, featuring more than 50 performers, presenters and educators. Running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the line-up will include Old West and Native American demonstrators; Texas history re-enactment groups; chuck wagons and teepees; noted cowboy storytellers and poets; Texas heritage demonstrators and educational exhibits; trick roping and horse shoeing demonstrations; the Texas Camel Corps; Native American Education exhibits and demonstrations.
A special noon tribute to the songs and stories of music legend Jimmie Rodgers will be presented by local actor Tony Navarra and guest performers. On Saturday, September 24, the Texas Heritage Seminar will take place at the Cailloux Campus Activity Center from 1 to 3 p.m. The discussion panel will include members of the Texas Folklore Society and will focus on Texas Folklore: The Power of Stories in Education. Dr. Hudson encourages seminar attendees to RSVP. All reservations received by September 16 will be given a complimentary lunch prior to the seminar. Texas Heritage Living History Weekend will wrap up with a Literacy and Learning Benefit Concert on Sunday, September 25, at Schreiner University’s Dietert Auditorium beginning at 3 p.m. Proceeds from the concert will benefit both the Wayne Kennemer Scholarship Fund and Families and Literacy. Group discounts will be available. Schools are encouraged to bring groups, and educational packages will be available to teachers. Transportation grants for rural schools and schools with predominantly at-risk enrollments will be available, on a limited basis, upon request. The event’s website is www.texasheritagemusic.org. For reservations or more information e-mail kat@maverickbbs.com.
The People Under the Cloud—Remembering the Atomic Bomb Jun Hoshikawa, a prominent Japanese writer born seven years after WWII, remembers the fear of ‘Instant War’ that dominated his consciousness as a child. “I was obsessed by the fear that I could be vaporized in an instant without warning,” he said. “I can remember, I would be in my house and hear an airplane passing overhead and be convinced that it was a Soviet missile, about to explode.” Hoshikawa, on campus in July as a facilitator for the ‘Past is Prologue’ gathering for the study of ancient wisdom, presented the Labatt Lecture Series talk on the aftermath of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which helped end World War II. This presentation included a Q&A session and a viewing of rarely seen images taken on the ground immediately after the nuclear weapons detonated, accompanied by poetry and excerpts from diaries written at the time by those who survived. Hoshikawa’s private, personal fear of ‘Instant War’ as a child was particularly realistic in a country where two cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, had recently been destroyed. Americans who grew up in the 50s and 60s remember the fear of nuclear war that dominated their generation—an attack by the Soviet Union was on almost
everyone’s consciousness—but Americans had less practical basis for that fear. It had never happened here. Because nuclear war was a reality for the Japanese people, Hoshikawa said, many were affected in ways that are difficult for non-Japanese to understand even today. Hoshikawa’s voice softens as he says, “It seems that our lives are still being dominated by collective memories of the mushroom cloud, even 60 years later.” Hoshikawa said he does not blame any nation or group of individuals—in fact, he has spent his entire life as a powerful spokesperson for peace, mutual respect and understanding, and caring for our shared planet. He readily admits that the Japanese government’s attack on the United States and its Asian neighbors provoked the horrific experience of being bombed with nuclear weapons. He says he simply wants to do everything humanly possible to ensure that this never happens again. To view the full text of Hoshikawa’s speech, go to http://www.schreiner.edu/ pip/events.html

Schreiner Former Students Association board meetings
SFSA fall board and committee meetings in September
Each spring during Recall, SFSA has its annual meeting. During this meeting the board of the Association selects new officers and fills any director’s positions available due to term limits. At this year’s annual meeting in April, Donna Riojas Gay ’74 was elected as the tenth president of the Association. Donna Riojas Gay ’74 Elected to serve with SFSA President Donna were Cliff Kellett ’51, vicepresident, and Jeanette Ball-Reyes ’95, treasurer. Lea Nye ’92, will continue as board secretary for another year.
SFSA’s fall board and committee meetings are scheduled for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, September 16 and 17. The board’s five standing committees meet on Friday afternoon, with the full board meeting on Saturday morning until noon. Any interested former students who are, or plan to become, members of the Association are welcome and encouraged to join one of the board’s five committees. This is an excellent way for any interested former student to become involved as an active member of the Association. Only the chair of a committee must be a board member.
Elected as new directors were Andres Gutierrez ’99, Sam May ’52 and Sally Peña ’02. Directors continuing on the board include immediate past president John Wilton ’84, Spencer Blocker ’52, Bill Collenback ’51, Randy Ivy ’98, Susie Morgan ’93, Kyle Nye ’94, Katie Reed ’75, Suzi Schneider ’74, Elizabeth Schopmeyer ’92, Mark Talbot ’80 and Bill Thompson ’51. Recently, president Donna Gay appointed Trey Gourley ’99 to complete a director’s unfinished term.
Standing committees include Nominating, Chapter Operations (CO), Recall, University Advancement (UA) and Ways & Means (W&M). The first three are self-explanatory; UA decides how best the SFSA may serve the University, while W&M decides how to raise the funds needed.
