THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

f/f Wit/i The following is an interview with head coach Carrie Yerty in which she talks about her staff, her hopes for this year and even how having her first child has made her appreciate things even more. Q. When you sit down with your players at the beginning of the season, what goals do you plan to set for this year? A. We want to be in the top four in Conference USA and make a run for the NCAA Tournament. Right now we are nominated to the Academic All-American team and if we make that, then our academic goals will include matching that by each member of our team maintaining above a 3.0 grade point average. In terms of conference championships, we want to be in the top four in the league and head into the C-USA tournament with a record above the .500 mark. Q. Do you think the C-USA goals that you are setting are realistic? In your first season, the team finished last and you improved on that in the past two seasons, finishing fourth in the National Division. How do you feel about the other teams in the conference as far as their depth and who will contend for the conference championship? A. We had four coaching changes this year in our conference. Houston, who finished third in the league this year and had a bid to the NCAA Tournament, lost their best right side, their best middle and their setter due to graduation and to transferring. Splitting with Houston last year was a big step for us. South Florida will still be up there because they have the best player in the conference returning, but they also have a new coach this year. When a new coach is hired, there is some team transition that will happen and we look at this as an opportunity to possibly split with them this year. I would say that there will be a group of teams that will include Cincinnati, Memphis, Southern Miss and Saint Louis that will all be about equal. Louisville, will probably be the strongest team in our conference. I would say that Louisville, South Florida and Houston will make a strong run for the conference title. Beyond that, I think there will be a lower group and a middle group and I most certainly see us in that middle group. Last year, we lost in five to Cincinnati and Saint Louis, and I think we have the opportunity to beat them this year. We have a ton of depth. We have eight people back from last year and this will be the first time that we have had such a large group of returnees. Plus, we have Amie Hamilton, who was the C-USA Defensive Player of the Year last season, and she will steer our defensive campaign.

Q. Do you expect big things to come from Amie Hamilton again this year? A. I certainly think that she will contend as the defensive player of the year again, and I have expectations of her being named an all-conference pick if she continues to develop at the same pace that she has. Q. You lost a great setter in Jessica Baley to graduation, and you have a redshirt freshman, Jeannie Robison in place to take over as the "quarterback" of this team. What do you see in the future for Jeannie? A. A lot of what we do will be determined by how Jeannie does and how quickly she adjusts. This spring, she got her first taste of running our team. But, making the transition from a redshirt season to quarterbacking our program could be difficult for her. She is a great leader. She is very vocal and very determined. She has the natural God-given ability to step in and take us to an even higher level than where we were last year. If she can handle it mentally, then we shouldn't miss a beat. Q. How well do you think the players will respond to Jeannie this season, going from practically a "sideline" role to a "starring" role? A. I think the team will miss the leadership that Jessica brought to the team, because Jessica was such a fiery competitor. She was a senior with three years of experience under her belt and I think that the team will miss that. But, I think that they also have a lot of respect for Jeannie's talent and her work ethic. She has been working extremely hard all summer long and she is in the best shape that I have ever seen her in. She is strong. She has been in the gym and currently leads the team in the strength and conditioning aspect. Q. Talk a little about each position and what your expectations are for this year. A. Our middle position is a question mark in terms of not having any returnees in that position, but the physical presence of all three middles that we have coming in is even greater than what we have had in the past. We will miss Jenni Roselli's personality, but I think in terms of our physical presence, we will be much better. When we set out recruiting this past year, finding strong and aggressive middles was our top priority. Cathy (Casias) will probably develop into one of the best blockers in the conference. She has an extremely high vertical and is very gifted. She will provide depth as a fresh-

man and will have the opportunity to contribute early to this team. On our right side, we have April (Harriman) and Emily (Eichmann). April will be a junior with two years of experience under her belt, and Emily has probably had the best spring out of anybody on our team in terms of developing her skills. I foresee her also providing depth to that right side. Q. You mentioned Amie Hamilton earlier as having a chance to make an impact. Who else do you expect to make an impact on this team and why? A. Again, I would expect Amie to control our serve reception and our defense. I certainly think her jump serve is going to be a major factor. Our I team puts a great deal on serving, which is evident in the conference stats. Ginger Garrett will provide a lot of stability at the outside hitter position as well as being a primary passer and a defensive force. Our team nominated Rosie in the spring as a captain and so I foresee her hav- | ing a lot of leadership opportunities as well as she will establish herself in the conference as one of the top attackers on the outside. Q. What is the strongest aspect of this team?

A. The best thing about this team is the team chemistry and the intangibles that we bring together as a team. I don't think that there is an- ' other team in this conference that enjoys each other and enjoys the sport and the school they are representing more than our team. They certainly don't take their opportunities for granted. They work very hard and they are very dedicated to going to the NCAA Tournament.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Q. Is there anything that you think you can attribute such great team chemistry to? Is it something that maybe you have done or is it something that just happened? A. Our staff philosophy is to recruit the kind of student-athletes that are responsible individuals academically as well as athletically. We are able to get a high caliber of athlete because the environment that we provide is truly a family environment and our players are very comfortable knowing that we are a family. They have all bought into the system in terms of they knew last year was going to be a rebuilding year and they trusted each other. Honestly, it is so weird because last year we did not have one fight on the team. You can get good athletes and you can train them and make them good volleyball players, but we have good people that just happen to be good athletes that have now developed into great volleyball players. Q. Can you reflect on the direction that you see this program heading now that you are entering your fourth season and you have coached everyone on the floor since they stepped foot on The U of M campus? A. I think that in the past four or five years, the foundation has been laid for us to get into the NCAA Tournament, not only by elevating us from the bottom of the conference to the middle of our league, but also by helping us recruit the athletes that we have in here right now. The only direction I see us going in is up. I truly believe that we will have an opportunity to contend to go to the NCAA Tournament, if not this year, then next year. I don't ever see us at the bottom of the conference as long as the athletes that are here continue to work hard and the staff continues to find and train athletes of that caliber.

Q. Aside from the middle position that you described as having somewhat of a question mark, are there any other weaknesses that you expect to focus on in the preseason to have ironed out by the time the conference schedule rolls around? I think that our weakest position could end up being are strongest position, and that is our setting. Jeannie lacks experience, but contributes such a court presence and such consistent court control. I see lots of consistency on the left side and the right side. I certainly see us as a very good ball-control team with Jeannie, Ginger, Rosie and Amie. We've always been a good ball control team and a good serving team, but now we have more experience at the net. Our blocking will certainly be a point of focus for us. Q. What kind of leadership do you expect this year from seniors Amy Vaughn and Rosie Glenn? A. I think each of them brings leadership in terms of experience. Both of them have started or have played just about every game of every match of their careers. Rosie is more of an emotional leader for us and Amy is more of an organizational leader. I would expect that Amie Hamilton and would lead by example from her work ethic and her skills. Ginger will bring leadership through consistency. What's great about this team is that every person on our team brings a different aspect of leadership to the court. We won't have to focus on one person to carry us this year. In the past, we have had to hope that someone will pile every one on their back and run with them. This year, everyone has their own niche and their own role that has been established. Q. What has been the highlight of your career here at Memphis so far? A. The student athletes that have been recruited and graduated here make it all worthwhile. The athletes that I get to train are awesome. I love them. It is incredible to see them graduate and to see them reach milestones in their lives that maybe they never thought they could reach. Q. You recently welcomed a little one into your life. Has having a child changed you in any way as far as your outlook on things? It has certainly helped me to appreciate my staff because I haven't been able to put in the hours and the time that I have in the past and so I have asked my staff to take on more responsibility and I appreciate what they do. This also goes well beyond my staff and in-

cludes the support staff around me including the academic staff, the training staff, the strength and conditioning staff and the media relations staff. For the first time since I've been at Memphis, I feel that I have a complete staff. Rob (Thomas) has been the glue to our program. Last year was such a transition year through my pregnancy and he held together our recruiting when I wasn't allowed to travel. He ran our team in the spring when I couldn't physically be there. He is a complete recruiter and a dedicated teacher. He brings offensive training to our outside hitters and a unique style of ball control aspects to our program that we haven't had in the past. I trust him with every aspect of my life and with this program. I truly believe that he is as dedicated to this program as I am. He is willing to put in as many hours as it will take to get this program going. This will be Fiona's (Bolten) first season, but she will bring experience to the setting position. Her primary role will be to guide Jeannie and to teach Jeannie the mental aspects of the game. I can't say enough about how fortune I feel to have both of those two on my staff. Lee (Yerty) has been with us for three years and all of the training and conditioning and strength-training focus that he has had is paying off. He has made such an incredible contribution because our kids are strong and they are in shape. I truly believe that there won't be a team in our conference that will be in better shape than we are in the fall. I cannot say enough about what Diane (Hale) means to this program. She has been my sanity and my foundation. When things have been really good, she has kept me focused and has helped me keep everything in perspective, and when things have gone bad, she has been there to pick me up. She has been my mentor and I feel very fortunate to have her as a member of my staff.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

TIGER In theory, three years is a short amount of time to turn a program around. It hasn't happened over night, but that is exactly what head coach Carrie Yerty has done at The University of Memphis. Yerty, an up-and-coming young coaching prospect, was hired to replace former head coach Penny Lucas-White on July 15, 1996, less than two months from the start of the season. She inherited a squad that finished 13-20 the previous year and returned five players and led them to a disappointing 6-29 record and a 1-13 showing in Conference USA. Yerty didn't let .._ that one season spoil her dreams of developing and guiding a Division I program to a national powerhouse. She hit the recruiting trails and the hard work and tireless efforts of this young coach are beginning to come to light. In her second season at the helm of a young Tiger Volleyball program, Yerty made one of the biggest turnarounds in the program's history. Never had a Tiger squad won less than 10 matches one year and finished well above .500 the next. Yerty did it. She guided the 1997 Tigers to a 19-14 overall record, including a school-best 7-0 start. Not included in the overall record that season was a victory over the Australia National Team at the Montana State tournament. She also made a huge jump in the conference rankings with a 6-10 record that year. The Tigers were

now gaining respect from its C-USA foes. After finishing dead last in the league in 1996, the Tigers improved to a fourth-place showing in the National Division the following season. Yerty's Tigers also made strides in the C-USA post-season tournament, winning its first-round meeting with UAB and advancing to the second round where they dropped a 3-1 decision to top-seeded and eventual NCAA participant Houston. That wouldn't be the last time that Memphis put up a fight with the Cougars. Last season, Yerty led her troops to its first win in school history over the University of Houston and for the second straight season, Memphis advanced to the second round of the C-USA Tournament. Yerty's Tigers finished the season with an 18-14 overall record and a 6-10 record in the conference. It was the first time since 1994 that a Tiger Volleyball team had recorded back-to-back winning records. This season should be a true example of Yerty's coaching philosophy and work ethic. Entering her fourth season at the helm of the program, Yerty has recruited all but two players on this year's roster. Seniors Amy Vaughn and Rosie Glenn were originally recruited by Lucas-White, but Yerty has coached them since they first stepped foot on the court at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse. A strong believer in the total welfare of the student-athlete, Yerty continues to stress academic excellence as well as athletic achievement. Last season, the Tigers boasted a 3.49 grade point average as a team.

A 1992 graduate of Washington State, Yerty earned her degree in Star Volleyball Touring Camp in 1991, in which they managed and conducted in excess of 25 customized instructional clinics and camps for secondary education. Bom March 4, 1970, she is married to Lee Yerty, junior high and high school athletes and coaches. Two years later, Yerty an assistant strength and conditioning coach at The University of Memfounded and coached the New Balance Volleyball Club team in Spo- phis. The couple welcomed a new member into the Tiger Volleyball kane, Wash., for girls 16 and under.

A seasoned club team coach, Yerty was selected as a representative on the Junior Olympic National Team selection committee where she evaluated and selected players for the elite squad at the Southern California tryout. Yerty has wasted no time in getting involved in the community since her arrival at The U of M. Yerty is currently on the Board of Directors for the Memphis Junior Volleyball Club Program, and has held numerous free camps and clinics for church groups and elementary schools. She was also instrumental in bringing the USA and Russian Volleyball teams to the Elma Roane Fieldhouse for a widely-attended exhibition match in 1998.

Head Coach Fourth Season W NOTES

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

flGE Judging from the performance of the 1998 Tiger Volleyball team, the next few years are going to be exciting. The Tigers, picked to finish in last place in the 1998 preseason Conference USA coaches poll, pulled a few surprises and worked their way up to eighth place by the end of the season. Head Coach Carrie Yerty and her squad finished the year with a 18-14 mark, and went 6-10 in their Conference USA season. Yerty's career mark now stands at 43-58 in three seasons. The Tigers will no doubt be a contender in 1999, losing only one starter and two total letterwinners. Memphis will return five starters and seven letterwinners for the 1999 season. The Tigers' two losses will be major ones. Jessica Baley, the starting setter out of Coarsegold, Calif., finished her tenure at Memphis among the all-time record holders. Baley's 2,681 assists parked her in third place on the career leaders list at Memphis. Baley's 1,339 assists placed her in fourth on the single-season assist list at Memphis. Baley concluded her career with 210 kills, 72 errors, and 614 total attempts. Baley hit .225 in her two year career at Memphis, and blocked 109 opponent attempts and upped 642 balls. Jenni Rosselli, a middle hitter out of Federal Way, Wash, also closed her stellar career at Memphis. Rosselli finished her career with 520 kills, 221 errors and 1,279 total attempts for a .234 hitting percentage. Rosselli blocked 205 opponent attempts and recorded 229 digs. With only two seniors, the 1998 Tigers was a team full of new faces. Four freshmen began their collegiate careers in 1998, but they played like anything but freshmen. Jessica Henry, a middle hitter out of Pomeroy, Wash., wasn't the least bit timid when she stepped on the court. Henry finished the season leading the Tigers in kills, hitting percentage and blocks. Henry killed 385 of 955 attempts in 1998, and committed only 122 errors for a .275 hitting percentage. Henry was also ferocious at the net, blocking 109 total opponent attempts (87 block assists, 22 block solos.) Henry's 241 digs were the fifth best on the team. She also aced 26 serves during the 1998 season. Henry's debut performance was impressive enough to earn her a spot on the Conference USA All-Freshman team. But Henry wasn't the only outstanding freshman on last year's squad. Ginger Garrett, an outside hitter out of Normal, 111., was just behind Henry in team hitting statistics. Garrett killed 359 of 996 attempts and committed 136 errors for a .224 hitting percentage during the 1998 season. Garrett totaled 63 total blocks and the fourth-best dig total on the team with 283.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

Amie Hamilton also made a huge impression on Conference USA in!998. The 5-4 defensive specialist out of Kalama, Wash, had the second-best dig total on the team with 361 digs. Her potent serve also led to the demise of many opponents. Hamilton led the team, and was second in Conference USA, in service aces in 1998. Hamilton served 54 aces for Tiger points in 1998. Her stellar defensive play earned her the Defensive Specialist of the Year Award among all defensive specialists in the conference, an honor no Memphis player had ever won before. Emily Eichmann, a right-side hitter out of Scottsdale, Ariz, made drastic improvements to her game in limited playing time. The lefty finished the season with 26 kills and a .225 hitting percentage in 41 games. Rosie Glenn, a junior outside hitter out of Syracuse, N.Y. proved herself as an all-around player last season. Glenn led the team in digs with 381 in 1998, a total good enough to place her in the top ten in Conference USA statistics. April Harriman, a sophomore outside hitter out of Los Angeles, Calif, also improved her game in 1998. Amy Vaughn, a junior out of Kankakee, 111. continued to be a force in the passing game, and recorded 133 digs over the season. Teamwise, the 1998 Tigers will stand in the record books. The young team recorded 1671 kills, enough for ninth place in the all-time season team records. The team's 4,568 total attempts is also good enough for ninth place. The Tigers hit .200 percent, landing them in sixth place in the all-time team standings. The team also did well at the net, recording 417 blocks, enough to take over the sixth place spot. In the back row, the team's 1,896 digs places them in the nine spot in the all-time team records. The Tigers had some key victories in 1998, including the first ever win over Houston, who made it to the NCAA tournament this season, and a five-game victory over Ole Miss, an always tough SEC foe. The Tigers took Houston in five exciting games, winning 15-9, 1715, 10-15, 7-15, 15-12. Before the Houston win, the Tigers had been 0-3 in five game matches. The Tigers were 28-29 against the Ole Miss Rebels before the Oct. 20 meeting. The last time the Tigers defeated the Rebels was in 1995, and head coach Carrie Yerty had never defeated Ole Miss in her tenure at Memphis. The Tigers took the Rebels in five games, winning their second five-game match in two weeks.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

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 heading 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 IA conference. The conference officially unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995 in Chicago. Mike 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 added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997, while Army began play last fall. Conference USA sponsors 17 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. 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 third football season in 1998 ranked seventh among Division IA conferences. Tulane won the title outright in 1998 and defeated BYU in the AXA/Equitable Liberty Bowl to finish a perfect 12-0 and No. 7 in the nation. Southern Miss received the league's bid to the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, while Louisville represented C-USA in the Motor City 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. Conference USA is a full participating member of the Bowl Championship Series. This includes guaranteed access for the C-USA champion if that team receives a consensus ranking of six or higher, subject to certain conditions. C-USA will also receive a stipend for participation if one of its teams is not selected to play in one of the BCS bowls. Additionally, UAB, a charter member of CUSA, will begin competition on the gridiron in 1999. C-USA schools will play six conference games through 1999.

THE UNIVERSITY or MEMPHIS

Conference USA is consistently rated as one of the top basketball leagues in the country. During the 1997-98 season, men's and women's basketball moved 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 four seasons, C-USA men's basketball produced 25 postseason teams (15 NCAA and 10 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 just completed the fourth year of a six-year basketball television agreement with ESPN Regional Television (formerly Creative Sports) and ESPN, Inc. Women's basketball has also enjoyed success the past four seasons. Four C-USA schools received NCAA Tournament bids in 1998, giving the league 17 bids in its first three campaigns. For each of the past three seasons, Conference USA has produced five teams that have won more 20 or more games, with C-USA being the only league in the nation with five teams that won 21 or more games this past season. 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 four seasons include: 10 NCAA volleyball appearances, 10 NCAA men's soccer appearances, with two teams reaching the NCAA Final Four, two teams in the NCAA women's soccer tournament, six 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 1998, 12 student-athletes earned national GTE Academic AllAmerica Honors, while 24 were named All-District. Over the past three seasons, more than 3000 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.

THE UNIVERSITY or MEMPHIS

TIGE

T/le Zf-tfteru efT/ie U pfji Women's Athletics at The U of M are more popular than ever, but it hasn't come easy. Some hard work and long hours from a pair of dedicated administrators have made it happen. In 1971 The University of Memphis, then Memphis State University, introduced its fourth women's intercollegiate sport to the campus. Women's volleyball began playing at the intercollegiate level under coach Jane Hooker, but the foundation had been laid many years before by a lady who has become known as a pioneer in the development of women's athletics. Elma Neal Roane was named the Director of Women's Varsity Athletics at Memphis State in 1946. It was at that time Roane began her fight for women in sports. Before being named to the position, Roane had been a teacher at Treadwell High School in Memphis since 1940. Sheaccepted the position at Memphis in 1946 and became a teacher in the physical education department in addition to her duties with the women's varsity sports. Roane held the teaching position for nine years, before becoming the head coach for the women's volleyball, basketball and badminton teams in 1955. During her tenure as coach, Roane paved the way for the advancement of women's athletics. In 1970 the program began competeing at the Division I level and Roane was named as the first women's athletic director at the University. To say that it was a struggle may be an understatement. Roane and the women's athletic department faced several barriers and prejudices along the way. During Roane's time at the helm, the women's program was located in three different departments and governed by three different sport organizations. It wasn't until 1976, with the passing of Title IX, that funding increased dramatically. The number of women's programs increased from three to eight teams with over 100 participants. That was before the University paid the majority of the cost for athletics. Shortly after the University took over the funding, the number of athletic teams was dropped to five in an effort to add funds to basketball, volleyball and gymnastics in order to keep them in line with the other Division I schools.

By 1978, the women's athletic program had grown to include nine sports, six of which were classified as "scholarship sports" and three which were classified as "non-scholarship" sports. At the time basketball was the only sport which had full scholarships. The other sports received half scholarships, which meant that tuition and fees were paid, while books were acquired through a book loan system. The six scholarship sports included basketball, volleyball, track and field, tennis, gymnastics and golf, while the three nonscholarship sports were racquetball, cross country and badminton. Due to Roane's dedication to the women's athletic program, Memphis became recognized as a major college leader in the area of women's athletics. Roane's dedication quickly became evident as the budget for women's athletics increased from $10,723 dollars in 1973, when Memphis was governed by the TCWSF, to $35,312 in 1975 when the AIAW began governance of women's athletics. In 1982 when the women's program came under the governance of the NCAA, the budget reached $531,034. Roane's accomplishments went much further than financial improvements. In 1976, Linda Arnold was hired as the first athletic trainer for the women's program, while in 1977 the Field House was remodeled to provide an excellent competitive site for women's volleyball, basketball and gymnastics. The following year in 1978, Mike Finn was hired as Sports Information Director for women's sports, and in 1982 the University band, cheerleaders and pom pon squad performed at Lady Tiger athletic events. Roane paved the way for the women's program, and after 40 years of service she stepped down. Lynn Parkes, who at the time was the women's golf coach at Memphis, took over the leadership role and continued to carry the torch for women's athletics.

Parkes who is in her 16th year as the senior's women's administrator continued to help the advancement of women's athletics, which currently has eight scholarship programs, including basketball, volleyball, golf, soccer, indoor and outdoor track and field, tennis, and cross country. Parkes, who spent 11 years as the golf coach, is currently the compliance coordinator at The University of Memphis, as well as overseeing the administration of women's athletics. In her role as compliance coordinator, Parkes is the liaison to Conference USA and the NCAA in adherence to the rules and regulations of those two organizations. She has also served on the NCAA Task Force which designed the recently approved restructure of the NCAA. There were numerous individuals, coaches, administrators and players who were intrumental in women's athletics reaching the high standards currently held at The University of Memphis. But without Elma Roane and Lynn Parkes, women's athletics could not have risen to the plateau on which it sits today.

TIG Twer 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 bom. 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 23 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 $ 1,500 to buy the animal, and TOM was taken to athletic director Billy Murphy's office for a press conference.

Go Tigers Go, Go On To Victory, Be A Winner Thru And Thru; Fight Tigers, Fight Cause We're Going All The Way Fight, Fight For The Blue And Gray And Say â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Stand Finn, O Alma Mater Through All The Years To Come; In Days Of Youth And Beauty Thy Halls Have Been Our Home. In Time Of Preparation Great Lessons Didst Thou Teach Till Now O Alma Mater, The Stars We'll Strive To Reach.

U of M FIGHT SONG

U of M ALMA MATER

Lead On, O Alma Mater They Sons To Highways, Give Light And Truth Unto Them For All Their Coming Days. To Thee We'll Give All Honor, Our Hopes Abide In Thee, For Thou, 0 Alma Mater, Hast Made Us Ever Free.

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 seperately, 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.

Let's Go Tigers Go, Go On To Victory. See Our Colors Bright And True; It's Fight Now Without A Fear, Fight Now Let's Shout A Cheer, Shout For Dear Memphis U. (Yell) Go Tigers Go Go Tigers Go Yea â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiser Go!

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 togetherness among all students.

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

flGE DR. V. LANE RAWLINS President Brigham Young, 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 inteipersonal 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. Rawlins' 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-member allsports 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 coauthored 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, Mary Jo, have three children and six grandchildren.

R.C. JOHNSON AthleticDirector Iowa, 1965 R.C.Johnson, who has worked for 28 years in athletic administration and served as athletic director at Temple University, was named the Director of Athletics at The University of Memphis on December 29, 1995. Johnson initiated the start of a capital 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. The eight million dollar campaign is the largest fund raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics and should bring the Tiger athletic facilities on-line with Conference USA sister institutions as the school prepares to enter the 21st century. During the spring of 1999, Johnson negotiated the richest radio broadcast package in Tiger history with WMC-AM 79 in Memphis. The threeyear agreement calls for WMC to pay the University approximately $1.2 million for football and men's basketball rights. In his short tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, the Tiger Clubs Board of Directors and the athletic director's Ambassador's Club.

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. Highlights of Johnson's 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 student-athletes with a 3.00 GPA or better. Before becoming athletic director at Miami University, Johnson was athletic director at East-

ern Illinois from 198088. He was the associate athletic director at Northem Iowa from 1974 to 1980. A native of Ottawa, 111., 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.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS

TIGE Eighty-seven 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 secondaryschool teachers. It became West Tennessee State Teachers College in 1925. Answering the need for a comprehensive school in the Mid-South, WTSTC 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 some 20,000 students and a campus of 1,160 acres on four 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.

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 modem, 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 square-foot facility is one of the largest of its kind in the country and features the latest in strength training equipment. The weight room is equipped with 10 selfcontained Olympic platforms and power racks, a plyometric/medi-

cine ball area, a complete dumbbell line (up to 150 Ibs in two and a half pound increments) and a variety of hip sleds, glute-ham stations and other suppemental pieces allowing athletes from all teams to perform an unlimited variety of exercises and movements. The modern facility is also equipped with dressing and restrooms. All of the University of Memphis' home baseball games are played at Nat Buring Stadium, a 1,200-seat facility adjacent to Murphy's main building. Recently, lights and a new enclosed press box were added as well as new blue chair back seats. Nat Buring was the site of the 1993 Great Midwest Conference baseball tournament. Located next to the baseball stadium is Murphy Track, an eightlane, polyurethane tartan surface

pionships. Other features of Murphy Complex include an Olympic indoor pool and golf driving range that is used by the Tiger golf teams. A 5,000 square-foot Novagrass artificial green was installed adjacent to the driving range in August of 1992. The green, which features four sand bunkers and a self-contained irrigation system, allows both men's and women's golf teams to practice their short games. Plans are in the initial stages for further renovation of the golf practice facilities at Murphy Athletic Complex. Future projects include an elevated teeing area on the south end of the driving range to match the current tee box located on the north end of the facility. Additionally, target greens for chipping and putting and a new irrigation system

track used by the University of Memphis track teams for home meets. During the summer of 1991, the University of Memphis hosted the World Police and Fire Games. The track meet featured over 700 athletes from around the world. During the summer of 1992, U of M served as host of the Tennessee Sports Festival which featured athletes from around the state. Murphy Track was also the host site of the 1992 and 1993 Great Midwest Conference Track and Field Cham-
