The Rambler
Scholarship, from page 1
serves to raise funds for the
scholarship, which is given
Out annually to a business
major.
, In addition to already
established endowed schol-
arships, there are a variety of
gifts, such as that from the
Mortons, that were recently
given to Texas Wesleyan and
have yet to be awarded to
students.
Jan Fersing, the
founder/co-owner of
Therofoam Inc. in Fort
Worth, gave $100,000 to
Texas Wesleyan in honor of
her parents. This money will
be used to form a scholarship
that will be awarded each
year to a student related to an
ehiployee of Thermofoam.
According to Cumbie, if no
such student exists, the
scholarship will then be
awarded to a student whose
parents are immigrants.
Another gift is from
Irwin and Deloris Whitney,
who gave $100,000 in stock
to Texas Wesleyan through
the David L. Tandy
Foundation, their family
foundation. This stock was
sold for its worth and will
soon be awarded in the form
of a scholarship to chosen
juniors and seniors going
into seminary.
Donors like the Mortons
hope that the feeling of giv-
ing will motivate others.
"I hope that it will cause
others to think of how they
can contribute," he said.
Fort Worth officer provides security
for students on his Wesleyan beat

STAFF WRITER
Texas Wesleyan security has a
new helping hand from the Fort
Worth Police Department.
Officer Stephen Valle has been
patrolling an area that includes Texas
Wesleyan for almost a year now, but
took on Wesleyan's (northside) divi-
sion one month ago. He is taking
Ryan Perales' place who recently
switched over to the traffic divi-
sion, according to
Jeffrey Wood, Wesleyan's security
manager.
Valle, 31, said that patrolling a
campus isn't that much
different than from
other beats.
"It's the
same. We still
have crime. It
can be hard
to keep
track of because the campus is spread
out," Valle said.
"George 15 is so big that it is
divided into two divisions," he said.
"George 15" is the name of the beat
in which Wesleyan is located. The
divisions are "North Rosedale" and
"South Rosedale."
Valle made the change from
south to north last year. His division
covers north of the train tracks down
to Highway 287 to Berry Street and
back to Vaughn and Collard.
Although Valle has only been on the
northside for a month, he has been
patrolling the area with Perales for
nearly a year.
switched just for a
change of
pace,

Officer Stephen Valle, assigned to the northside division of the "George 15" beat, patrols the area around the Wesleyan campus.
The officer who is responsible
for the second division is Chris
Feameyhough, and they sometimes
go out together to patrol.
Feameyhough now has Valle's for-;
mer beat on the southside.
Valle said that he drives through
the campus every morning. Women
may not mind-getting pulled over by
this attractive, well-built and single
man in uniform, but he might give
them a ticket.
"I actually just wrote some tick-
ets on Avenue D this morning," he
said.
As a neighborhood police officer,
Valle receives feedback from the
community and then directs
resources. For example, if a person
complains about drugs in the area, he
notifies the division that normally
takes care of that problem.
"Sometimes we handle it our-
selves," he said, but it isn't very dan-
gerous. "Other officers are there
when you need backup."
Valle has been a police offi-
cer since December 1999. He
had never wanted to be a cop,
he said, until he experienced it
firsthand with some friends.
"Some of my friends
were police officers, and I
rode out with them a couple
times," he said. "It seemed
like a lot of fun. So, I applied
and took the tests."

lines. However, she said she t^iprpughly
enjoyed interacting with students and fami-
lies.
"Working with students and parents,
helping them realize their dreams," she said,
was the most rewarding part about the job.
The decision to leave was not one taken
lightly.
"It involved much thought and prayer,"
Carpenter said. "My staff has been very
understanding."
Her last day was Oct. 6.
"She was always fair to everybody," said
Rita Piatt, receptionist in financial aid. "I will
miss her a lot."
Carpenter said she's most grateful for the
knowledge she has gained about higher edu-
cation administration, enrollment manage-
ment and financial aid while working at
Wesleyan.
Carpenter said that the student services
division, specifically the financial aid office,
is like family.
"We work together toward a common
njgoal. We play together, we eat together, we
irtalk together because it builds a strong sense
of family. We know one another, but we also
take the time to know the families of our
coworkers," she said. "I can't imagine work-
ing for a company that didn't strive to build
the same atmosphere."
Her future plans include beginning a new
job on Oct. 10, as well as finding time to start
on a master's degree in the next couple of
years.
"Dean was excellent at what she did. Her
job asked a lot of her, but she always got
everything done," said Shawn Poling, student
worker in the financial aid office. "She was
great at running the financial aid office and
will be missed."
She did not have any specific person in
mind to be her successor. The university is
currently conducting a search to find a new
financial aid director.
