Dear Fellow Lion,

Welcome to the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith. I am excited and proud to welcome you as a part of the Lion family. Our University has a rich history and promising future.

The Alumni Association serves over 45,000 alumni. We are unique because since 1928 the University has undergone a few name changes. Anybody who attended Fort Smith Junior College, Westark, or UA Fort Smith, automatically belongs to the Association if they completed 14 hours or more. One of the best things about the Alumni Association is that membership is FREE! We don’t charge dues; we just want our alumni to stay connected.

You are a future alumnus of UA Fort Smith, but you can get engaged in the Association even as a freshman. The Student Alumni Association (SAA) is a great way to meet new people, get plugged in on campus, connect with alumni, and receive some really cool benefits, such as discounts in the Barnes & Noble Lions Bookstore, free t-shirts, and much more.

The Student Alumni Association, with the help of the Alumni Office, is proud to bring you this Traditions Book. You are truly part of history as you are the first class to receive a copy. I hope you will read through the book, complete the traditions listed, make memories, and thoroughly enjoy your time at UA Fort Smith. This book will guide you through life as a Lion. The SAA and the Alumni Association are here to both serve you and act as a home away from home. Keep the traditions alive, and Go Lions!

Best wishes,

Katie Schluterman ‘07Student & Young Alumni CoordinatorStudent Alumni Association Advisor

Dear Students:

You are holding a piece of University of Arkansas – Fort Smith history in your hands, chronicling the rich traditions of our NUMA nation that began in 1928.

For many, this will be a new year in a new place. This book has been constructed as a student resource guide to the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith campus, as well as an interactive handbook about the University’s traditions that will define your college experience.

As President of the Student Alumni Association, I hope you will turn to this book often throughout your time at the University to find helpful information and make connections to current students and alumni who have preceded you.

As you participate in the traditions detailed in the book, embed yourself into the University and take advantage of the many diverse, enriching opportunities that are available.

Savor as much of your college experience as you can. Take every single minute in and enjoy it. The time spent in college is such an amazing time of growth and personal discovery. You will meet people who will change your life.

You are about to embark on an incredible time in your lives. Don’t waste a second. There are plenty of organizations and clubs in which to get involved. If you are interested in something, go for it. Try everything the University offers because you may find something that you really love. Go to lectures. Go to games. Listen to speakers, and work as hard as you can. It will pay off.

Spend each day with an appreciation for the world that is in front of you. Don’t waste your time just looking forward to only getting a degree, because you will regret it when you are gone.

“Remember today, for it is the beginning of always. Today marks the start of a brave new future filled with everything your dreams can hold. Think truly to the future and make those dreams come true.” – Anonymous

Striving for excellence,

Sarah Davis ‘11Student Alumni Association President

1930S & 1950S FRESHMAN INITIATION WEEKIn 1939, students began

a new tradition known as

Initiation Week. Freshmen

wore beanies and

“buttoned” sophomores

upon request during

the week-long initiation

period. This rite of passage

stopped shortly thereafter

because of World War

II. In the 1950s, after

the college moved to its

current location on Grand

Avenue, the tradition of

freshmen wearing beanies

was started again.

FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFEThe Fraternity and Sorority Life community

is composed of seven fraternal

organizations and encompasses almost

six percent of the student population. The

three fraternities on campus are Kappa

Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, and Sigma

Nu. The sororities are Delta Gamma, Delta

Sigma Theta, Gamma Eta, and Gamma

Phi Beta.

Joining a fraternity or sorority comes with multiple benefits. Grade point averages are higher

than the average student’s, and in fall 2009 alone the fraternal organizations accumulated

almost 2,000 hours of community service.

The mission of Greek Life is to foster an environment in which development of leadership skills,

involvement in community service, commitment to scholarship, and attention to friendship are

encouraged. Students involved in fraternities and sororities have shown a higher graduation

rate, better job placement rate, and make stronger alumni than any other students on a college

campus.

Consider joining to help create the newest and fastest-growing tradition at UA Fort Smith.

For more information contact Alex Snowden, Coordinator of Greek Life and Intramurals,

[email protected].

INTRAMURALS “Where Integrity Meets Intensity” is the motto of the intramural sports program at UA Fort

Smith. Intramurals is a program in which students get to compete on a number of levels in

over 15 sports ranging from flag football and dodgeball to air rifle and basketball.

Intramurals provides a way for students to compete in a healthy, safe, and all-around good

sportsmanship environment. For more information contact Alex Snowden, Coordinator of Greek

Life and Intramurals, [email protected].

abroad programs that range from short programs, such

ATHLETIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS THROUGH THE YEARSUA Fort Smith’s athletic history began in 1928—the year the university, which was then a

junior college, was founded. Throughout its long history as a junior college, UA Fort Smith

won three national championships – one for women’s basketball in 1995 and two for men’s

basketball in 1981 and 2006. UA Fort Smith was also national runner-up for women’s

basketball in 1994 and for volleyball in 2008. The university has won countless conference

and regional tournament championships in each of its sports. After more than 50 years as

one of the most successful junior-college programs in the nation, UA Fort Smith continues its

transition to becoming a member of the NCAA Division II.

UA Fort Smith now competes in 10 sports—volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s

and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s golf, and men’s and women’s tennis.

Throughout its history, UA Fort Smith has produced several All-Conference, All-Region, and All-

American players. Four former women’s basketball players have gone on to play in the WNBA—Kim

Williams ’95, Alisa Burras ’96, Gillian Goring ’05, and Tanisha Smith ’08. Four former men’s

basketball players have gone on to play in the NBA—Ron Brewer ’76, Darrell Walker ’80, Maurice

Jeffers ’99, and Sonny Weems ’06. Five former baseball players have played in the Major Leagues—

Jeff McKnight ’83, Kevin Lomon ’90, Ryan Nye ’93, Aaron Looper ’97, and Craig Gentry ’04.

POM SQUAD/ CHEERLEADING SQUADUA Fort Smith has both Cheerleading and Pom squads that support Lion athletics year round.

Tryouts for both squads are held during the spring semester. Fall tryouts are held only if

necessary. The squads cheer at the home basketball, volleyball, and baseball games, plus a

limited number of the away games. For eligibility requirements, contact the Box Office, Smith-

Pendergraft Campus Center, room 103.

FOOTBALLThe University fielded a football team in the 1930s. The team only lasted from 1930-1932. They

played some games at home and went on the road for about half of the games. In those early

years of the college, basketball, tennis, and golf teams were also formed.

TAKE A PHOTO WITH OUR MASCOT, NUMA

Numa, the University’s mascot, was chosen because the male lion in the original Tarzan book

in 1912 was named Numa. Numa was also the name of the yearbook until its last publication

in 2003. The bronze Numa measures 15 feet in length and weighs approximately 2,000 pounds.

Take your photo with Numa at a game or the Bronze Numa at Lion Plaza.

Building. Participate by volunteering to host a carnival game, scare people in the haunted

house, or just come and enjoy the fun when the Smith-Pendergraft Campus Center is

transformed into the Haunted Union! This event is one of the largest of the year and is open to
