Lowery Receives Major
Offer From Kentucky
By Steve Zimmer
HSU student Diana Lowery
recently received a major offer
from the University of
Kentucky to continue her
studies in the area of
microbiology.
The offer consists of a full
fellowship valued at $1 2000 a
year for Diana to complete
graduate level studies in the
field of her choice contingent
only upon her making
satisfactory progress. It is made
more valuable by the fact that
the program at the University
of Kentucky is on the cutting
edge of current research. Many
who go through the graduate
program go on to highly
prestigious institutions forpost-
doctoral work. Just to cite a
few examples several students
going through the program the
same one offered to Diana have
gone on to Harvard Columbia
University Johns Hopkins
University University of
California at San Francisco and
the National Institutes of
Health.
Diana was competing
against a large pool of students
from across the nation out of
which only a few make it
through the cut that leads to a
campus visit.
The decision to tender the
fellowship was made by the
Microbiology Admissions
Committee after Diana was
flown up for a day of extensive
interviews. The day featured a
tour of research facilities
dining with faculty and
graduate students and a
meeting with eight different
professors.
The committee felt strongly
about Diana and her preparation
at HSU. "She is very well
prepared for training at the
graduate level and we predict
that she will do very well and
go on to have a successful
career" one professor stated.
She was informed by a
phone call and a letter.
"I was excited" she said.
She still has not determined
whether her emphasis will be
on teaching or research.
Fornow comes the difficult
task of choosing her next career
path. Her choice will come
from three places Texas Tech
University of Texas at San
Antonio and the University of
Kentucky.
Representative Has Long
History With Abilene
By Sara Allsup
Abilene is lucky to be the
home of State Representative
Bob Hunter not only is Hunter
our Republican representative
he is also vice president
emeritus at Abilene Christian
University.
Hunter's history with ACU
goes back into the 50's. He
attended AbileneChrisitan
College (now Abilene Christian
University) and received his
bachelors of administration in
1952 andhis masters of
business management Besides
his masters degree Hunter also
holds three honorary doctorate
degrees from Texas Wesleyan
University Pepperdine
University and the University
of St. Thomas.
Hunter decided to go into
politics after serving on various
broads and Abilene's City
Council. He was the first
Republican to be elected for
State Representative in Taylor
County and has beenre-elected
four times.
At the time of the interview
Hunter had just returned from
Austin. Hestatedthatthe'Right
to Carry Weapon Bill was
discussed as were other
pending Bills.
One topic discussed in the
interview was the coming
election on May 1. In this
election the voters are asked to
vote on the school finance issue.
Hunter stated this is an
important issue and strongly
urges voters to vote' yes' on this
Constitutional Amendment.
Hunter is Chairman of the
Committee on International and
Cultural Relations. In this
capacity he coordinates the
International Sister Cities (our
sister city is Corinth Greece)
international exchanges and
promotes International Trade.
Hunter is also known as the
Father of the TEG (Tuition
Equalization Grant). This grant
helps students attending private
colleges and universities with
the higher cost of attending
compared to the cost of state
school. Hunter stated that this
was a highlight in his political
career.
When Hunter was asked
about his family his face glowed
as he talked about his wife
children and grandchildren. He
has been married to his wife
Shirley since 1954. They were
marred while he was stationed
overseas in the Navy. They
have three children Kent
Carole and Les. All three are
Abilene Christian University
graduates.
When asked what are the
most important things in his
life Hunter quickly replied his
family and helping people
achieve success through
college.
"Doc"
(Continued from page 3)
ended with comments by
Cowboy Band Director Scott
Mather and the Cowboy Band
rendition of "Amazing Grace."
The recognition according
to many was well deserved.
Sandy Graham secretary to the
senior vice president for
financial management has
known "Doc" Beazley since
1975. "Dr. Beazley is probably
the kindest most
compassionate caring giving
funny man that I have ever
known in my life."
She also emphasized that
recognition was long overdo
for the man who she described
as "tireless."
There is no doubt about
April 22 1993 and its
significance. In one sentence
it is "Doc Beazley Day."
