Want help? Need help?
Talk with our Case Manager
University students often struggle with personal and health related problems. When problems interfere with academic and personal success, it may be time to enlist the help of the case manager.
Our case manager is here to provide support, lend advice and help find the right resources to address the issue.
If you are struggling with a problem — the case manager works to help:
- identify the type of assistance and resources a student needs to overcome barriers to success
- assist students in connecting with services
- bring concerning situations to the Student of Concern Committee
To contact the case manager, call the Dean of Students Office at (607) 777-2804 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you would like to meet with the case manager, visit her appointment calendar.

Frequently Asked Questions
Finding Success
The case manager can help develop an individual action plan and ensure students are an integral part of the goal identification and development process.
Coping With Stressors
Academics, coping, stress and relaxation all tie into healthy living. See these great resources and tools on the University Counseling Center website.
Students of Concern
Concerned about someone? Tell us!
People acting unsafely may be showing signs that they need help. That is where the Students of Concern Committee (SOC) may be the right place to turn.
If you are unsure about bringing a person to the attention of the SOC Committee, contact the case manager at 607-777-2804 or e-mail email@example.com for more information. Some indicators of a person in need of assistance include:
- personality changes
- changes in behavior
- lack of engagement
- aggression
Just because someone consults with the case manager, does not mean the "student of concern's" situation is automatically brought to SOC.
The Students of Concern (SOC) Committee can:
- Help to coordinate the university response to students who demonstrate violence, threats to self or others, or are significantly disruptive students.
- Develop action plans intended to support student and community safety, prevent violence, support student development, and maintain a campus environment conducive to learning.
- Consult with faculty, staff and students involved in or affected by student's behavior, and other individuals as appropriate.
The SOC Committee's goal is to foster early identification of concerns about students. Early review of problematic situations can reduce the impact to a student and/or their classroom, social or living environment.
To speak with a member of the Students of Concern Committee, contact us at 607-777-2804 or email@example.com.
Composition of Committee:
- Academic Affairs – liaison to university academic units/centers. Interpreting policies
- Media Relations
- Police – contact with external agencies. Coordinate emergency services.
- Residence Life – detection of new cases, management of cases on campus.
- Dean of Students/Student Life – interpreting student conduct and other policies.
- Mental Health Consultant (HS/UCC)
- Graduate and Professional Schools representative(s)
- Office of Student Conduct
- Services for Students with Disabilities
- Human Resources
- Specialty member (on case by case basis, by invite only)
Case management is not psycho-therapy. The rules that apply to health and counseling situations are not the same as they are in the Office of the Dean of Students. Only those with a need-to-know will be brought into the circle of information.
For effective coordination of services, the case manager may ask you to sign a release of information.
- Dean of Students
- Decker Student Health Services Center
- First Call for Help
- Financial Aid
- Personal Safety Advisory Committee
- Residential Life
- Student Disabilities Services
- University Counseling Center
- UCC "Responding to Disturbing Content in Students' Work"
- Academic Advisers
- University Police
Why would I contact the case manager in the Office of the Dean of Students?
You might contact the case manager because you are or know a student who is:
- behaving in a way that concerns you
- experiencing difficulty beyond his/her ability to cope
- missing
- experiencing a family emergency or death of a family member
How is case management different from working with the University Counseling Center?
The University Counseling Center provides ongoing therapy, skill building, and consultation. While there is some overlap in consultation services, case management helps with short-term planning.
How does a case manager help?
Case managers help students cope with complex situations. One way a case manager helps students is by helping them identify what is important, and then map out plans of action based upon their strengths, needs and goals. Sometimes, case managers help students connect with other service providers if necessary.

Pounds: No restWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | email@example.com
It's not surprising that someone is trying to exploit the ugly mess surrounding Father Gerald Robinson's death, but it's still sick and shocking.
I normally encourage entrepreneurial spirit, but when Toledo Free Press first reported July 28 that Florida-based Serial Killers Ink is brokering Robinson-related funeral items, I was unable to muster any enthusiasm.
The site is offering the items on behalf of Toledoan Dan Clay, founder of Grave Fixations, which offers local crime scene and graveyard tours.
How do these ghouls defend this?
It's fair to offer them a chance to explain their choices. Eric Holler, who runs the Serial Killers Ink website, told Toledo Free Press the Robinson items don't have much academic value, but said there is a market for such items and meeting that demand is his business. Priests convicted of murder are exceedingly rare and Robinson is believed to be the first to be convicted of murdering a nun.
"I do understand these men and women have done some heinous, brutal crimes," he said. "The Gerald Robinson case is horrible. He killed a nun. But people seem to have an interest in dark and morbid history. It's history. We can't push history under the rug. It happened. These things happened, and there are people who collect these items and people who use these items in the academic field, who study these items to get a better grasp of these individuals.
"I can't really say a photograph of him lying in a coffin has social value. It's not going to help anyone understand his crime. But there are collectors out there that would love to have a photograph of an infamous murderer in his final resting place. People are interested in some really dark things. That's part of our psyche."
I am neither a defender of Robinson nor an apologist for how the Catholic Diocese of Toledo handled his funeral. But it's stomach-turning to think of someone sneaking into his visitation to snap a photo of him in his casket, collecting items from the funeral and scooping gravesite dirt into a vial for sale.
It is offensive to the memory of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl, whom Robinson was convicted of murdering, and to her family, who have been through enough with the controversy over Robinson being buried with full priesthood rites.
There is no question the case is sensational. But even those who do not believe Robinson deserves to rest in peace must be taken aback by this crass, tasteless and offensive exploitation.

East Cooper football enthusiasts, if you haven't become acquainted with Wando tailback Kenny Waring, now's the time.
The host Warriors defeated rival James Island this past Saturday night in the season opener for both teams, 39-12. Waring rushed for 116 yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns.
After both teams failed to score in their respective Sertoma Football Classic appearances two days prior (Hanahan 24, Wando 0; Stratford 27, James Island 0), there were question marks about the offenses. The first quarter came and went with only a 3-0 Warriors advantage.
But, Wando started its scoring melee with a 14-point second quarter and a 13-point third quarter to break it open. Waring's first trip to the end zone came late in the second period with a 10-yard dash.
He scored again on a 43-yard catch and run during the Warriors' first offensive possession of the second half and then once more minutes later on another 10-yard run.
After Wando's scrimmage loss to Hanahan on Thursday – in which most offensive starters only played two series – coach Jimmy Noonan said the team needed more repetitions. Storms earlier in the week caused practice cancellations, and with heavy losses to graduation from last season's team, Wando needs more time on the field together.
Quarterback Dalton Stubbs threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Darius Wade, backup quarterback Bailey Hart ran in a 21-yard score and kicker Clayton Rosenbaum booted two field goals (26, 31 yards).
Stubbs finished his first varsity start with 15 carries for 164 yards and was 13-of-25 for 236 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Defensively, Wando was led by junior linebacker Tyler Ragsdale, who collected nine solo tackles, three assists and forced a fumble. Last season's leading tackler Matt Norman had an interception with three solo tackles and three assists.

Could a shootout be on tap at Fulmer Field on Friday night?
A look at the stat sheet for both teams certainly seems to suggest that will be the case.
The Goose Creek Gators host Dutch Fork in a battle of two high-scoring juggernauts. Goose Creek enters averaging 54 points a contest, while Dutch Fork averages 48.5 points.
Both squads are 4-0 and ranked inside the state's top five in Class AAAA. The Gators, ranked as high as No. 2, defeated Fort Dorchester 49-28 last week, while Dutch Fork survived Dorman 42-39. The Silver Foxes are ranked as high as fourth.
"Dutch Fork is a very good offensive football team," Goose Creek coach Chuck Reedy said. "They are, by far, the best we have seen this year. They have a very big offensive line, a veteran quarterback and a great back in (Matt) Colburn."
The junior standout is probably even more vital to Dutch Fork's offense as running back Caleb Kinlaw is to Goose Creek's.
Last week, Colburn topped 400 all-purpose yards to lead the Silver Foxes. He rushed for 295 yards on 31 carries and scored five touchdowns. He has over 800 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground this season, and has two touchdowns receiving to go along with 199 yards.
Colburn had 233 yards rushing and three scores a week earlier against Rock Hill.
Quarterback Derek Olenchuk is 60 of 83 through the air for 943 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has only been intercepted once.
Kinlaw has over 600 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns for Goose Creek. Gators quarterback Dantez Bennamon has passed for over 400 yards and topped 200 yards on the ground.
Goose Creek won last year, 28-17, as part of a 13-0 season.
The Gators are putting a 30-game win streak on the line and Friday will be homecoming.
With each team possessing tremendous offensive artillery, it could live up to past shootouts involving Goose Creek. In 2011, the Gators' last loss was a 52-51 affair against University School, Fla. on Fulmer Field.
In 2010, the Gators won 63-57 against Lowcountry rival Summerville, also at GCHS.

WVU Men's Golf Reintroduced
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – After a gap of 33 years, West Virginia University will reintroduce men's golf as a varsity sport for the 2015-16 season, Director of Athletics Oliver Luck announced today. Men's golf was a varsity sport at WVU from 1933 to 1982.
"I am pleased to announce that men's golf will be returning as an intercollegiate sport at West Virginia University," Luck says. "Golf had a strong tradition on this campus, and its statewide popularity makes it a perfect addition to our department. A lot of thought, time and effort went into this decision as far as cost, travel and infrastructure goes, and I believe the strong tradition and history of Big 12 golf will only enhance our chances of building a championship program.
"I have to thank Ken Tackett, Executive Director of the West Virginia Golf Association for his help and assistance. Ken provided valuable feedback and his organization assisted us in the many questions and concerns as we made this decision."
Luck plans to hire a full-time men's golf coach by March 31, 2014, with the sport beginning competition as an intercollegiate varsity sport on July 1, 2015. Discussions are ongoing with golf courses around West Virginia for competition and practice locations.
The reintroduction of men's golf as a varsity sport will satisfy the Big 12 Conference requirement of a minimum of six men's and six women's sports. At the start of the 2015-16 academic year, WVU will have six men's sports and 10 women's sports that the Big 12 sponsors.
Golf's popularity continues to rise in high schools around West Virginia. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), there were 108 high schools in West Virginia that offered boys golf with 1,016 participants in 2012-13.
"The West Virginia Golf Association is delighted that WVU has decided to reintroduce golf at our flagship university," says Tackett. "Golf has established itself as one of the main sports in West Virginia, with a thriving junior golf program, competitive amateur competitions and a PGA Tour event. With the success of the game in our state, it is only fitting that our largest university provide an opportunity for our top junior golfers to stay in West Virginia and compete at a Division I level. We commend the leadership of Oliver Luck and those responsible for 'bringing back' the greatest game to West Virginia University."
Men's golf offers a NCAA maximum of 4.5 equivalency scholarships and WVU will provide 1.5 scholarships in 2015-16. Scholarship funding will be provided at an incremental basis in subsequent years with the sport scheduled to be fully implemented in 2017-18. The annual cost of the men's golf team when fully implemented is approximately $257,162.
With the reintroduction of men's golf at WVU, all 10 schools in the Big 12 will have men's golf as a varsity sport. Current conference schools have won 14 national championships (Oklahoma State 10, Texas 3, Oklahoma 1) in the sport and have produced some of the nation's finest current PGA Tour golfers, including Martin Flores (Oklahoma), Hunter Haas (Oklahoma), Todd Hamilton (Oklahoma), Anthony Kim (Oklahoma), Grant Waite (Oklahoma), Michael Bradley (Oklahoma State), Rickie Fowler (Oklahoma State), Morgan Hoffman (Oklahoma State), Charles Howell III (Oklahoma State), Edward Loar (Oklahoma State), Hunter Mahan (Oklahoma State), Jeff Maggert (Oklahoma State), Bob Tway (Oklahoma State), Bo Van Pelt (Oklahoma State), Scott Verplank (Oklahoma State), Casey Wittenberg (Oklahoma State), Gary Woodland (Kansas), Aaron Watkins (Kansas State), Robert Streb (Kansas State), Mark Brooks (Texas), Ben Crenshaw (Texas), Bob Estes (Texas), Harrison Frazar (Texas), Tom Kite (Texas), Justin Leonard (Texas), J.J. Henry (TCU) and Jimmy Walker (Baylor).
"We are excited about reintroducing men's golf to West Virginia University," says Terri Howes, Associate Athletic Director for Sports Administration/SWA. "We researched a lot of options, and golf kept coming to the top of the list. Bringing the sport back continues to put us in great shape with our Title IX requirements. By phasing the sport in during the next couple of years, we believe we can have a solid foundation in place when we begin competition in 2015."
With the reintroduction of men's golf in 2015, West Virginia University will have 18 intercollegiate sports.

If you don't receive a confirmation email, contact firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, a "yes" or "no," and, if "yes," your estimated submission deadline (preferably May 1 or May 15). Thank you!
Please follow these submission parameters to assist our editing process:
- Devotionals should be no longer than 350-375 words; devotionals will be one page only.
- Any Scripture references should be from the New International Version (2011) edition of the Bible which can be found online: www.biblegateway.net. Each passage will be cross-checked for accuracy.

- Please do not submit a devotional that has been published elsewhere. The Calvin Alumni Association will hold the copyright on the entire publication.
- Email your devotional to email@example.com as a Word (or any easily-accessible text format--- no PDF files, please) attachment.

Ideas and Tips
Here are some questions to start you thinking:
- Where do you see God at work in our world today?
- What scripture text has God used to shape your faith?
- What story of Jesus inspires or convicts or challenges you and why?
- What is your favorite attribute of God, and what Scripture passages help you to appreciate that aspect of God's character?
Update from the committee, April 2014
We have noticed that many of the pieces we have received have been very individual-focused. It is fine to incorporate part of your personal story into your piece, but if you do, please help us also to see who God is or what he is doing as part of that story. We'd love to have more pieces that dig into a Scripture passage and help us to understand it better.
We have also received quite a few pieces already centered on loss of a parent or child, and quite a few on God's presence during the uncertainty of job changes or life after college. If you haven't written your piece yet but were thinking of one of those angles, we'd be grateful if you picked a different topic that would help to balance out the overall collection of pieces. Thank you!
Be aware that the readership will not be exclusively in the U.S. or North America. It is important that the devotionals have broad, general appeal to a diverse audience.
Please also see four sample devotionals: Mulligans of Grace; Extravagant Love; Ambassadors for Christ; Telling the Story
All submissions will be reviewed by a committee of alumni and Calvin staff. Committee members will select the 365 pieces best suited for this project. The committee reserves the right to edit the submission for consistency and clarity.
Each person whose devotional is selected for publication will receive one complimentary copy of the book as a small, but heartfelt, token of our appreciation. Additional copies will be available for purchase through the Alumni Association.
Questions? firstname.lastname@example.com

It was inevitable that the issue of same-sex marriage would reach the highest court in the land. This week, the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments on the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, which amended that state's constitution to prohibit such marriages. The case, now known as Hollingsworth v. Perry, was filed in 2009 by what SCOTUSblog reporter Amy Howe calls a "legal odd couple" – trial lawyer David Boies and former Solicitor General Ted Olson, who are both best known for being on opposing sides in Bush v. Gore.
Horacio Gutiérrez, a University of Miami School of Law alumnus who is corporate vice president and deputy general counsel at the Microsoft Corporation, will be named "Lawyer of the Americas" by the Inter-American Law Review at its annual banquet in Miami on April 5.
Richard W. Rappaport, who graduated from Miami Law in 1973 and became an entertainment attorney, shared with students a few days ago some insights on the issues he faces in practice, including the intricacies of television and motion picture development, distribution, and financing. He also had a few tips on how to handle famous people.
A new joint-degree program, a J.D. and a Master of Science in Education in Community and Social Change, has been created at Miami Law in partnership with the University of Miami's School of Education and Human Development. The degree will enable students who are interested in the not-for-profit and non-governmental sectors to receive their degrees in a shorter amount of time than if they pursued the two degrees separately.
Miami Law's National Security and Armed Conflict Law Review will host a panel discussion titled "The Internet and Armed Conflict" on April 12 at the Storer Auditorium on the university's Coral Gables campus. The panelists will be Miami Law alumna Donna A. Bucella, JD '83, Assistant Commissioner at U.S. Customs & Border Protection; U.S. Air Force Major General Charles Dunlap (Retd.), Professor at Duke University School of Law; Jamil Jaffer, Republican Chief Counsel and Senior Advisor to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and another alumnus, Michael Mullaney, JD '88, Chief of the Counterterrorism Section at the Department of Justice.
Miami Law is happy to invite students to apply for the Public Interest Service Student Awards, a celebration of the school's high esteem for the outstanding work that our students perform in the community.
Miami Law's Entertainment & Sports Law Society will host its 16th annual symposium at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Miami on Saturday, April 6. More than 20 panelists will speak on a host of matters in the field of sports and entertainment law, including the legal implications of concussions in professional sports, recent developments in the legal landscape of music, media and the law, and the art of orchestrating live entertainment.
Intent on raising revenue and promoting the law school's virtues, Miami Law's administrators agree to let camera crews turn the lives of faculty and students into a reality show. Chaos ensues. Fortunately – or not, depending how you look at it – it isn't true. But it's dramatic fodder for Miami Law: Sold Out, a theatrical production from Equity Playhouse that focuses on life at Miami Law as cameras track its daily activities.
Shari and Joel Ronkin are passionate about their alma mater. Two-time University of Miami alumni, they met on the Coral Gables campus as undergraduates and went on to earn degrees from Miami Law – Joel in 1992 and Shari two years later. Now, the two have established the Ronkin Family Scholarship to provide tuition assistance to Miami Law students who excel academically. The recipients will be known as Ronkin Scholars.
Anyone interested in the implications of linguistic pluralism for democratic societies will be inspired by a conference planned for later this week at the University of Miami School of Law. The conference, titled "Language and Democracy," will take place on Friday and is being sponsored by the School of Law, the Center for the Humanities, and the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. The conference seeks to explore the various implications of linguistic pluralism for democratic societies.
Duke University will hold an interdisciplinary conference this week in honor of University of Miami Professor James W. Nickel's scholarly work in human rights law and theory. Professor Nickel, who teaches Philosophy and Law, is the author of the classic book "Making Sense of Human Rights" (1st ed. 1986, 2nd ed. 2007) and dozens of articles.

When you come out of the coal camps of West Virginia, the last thing you expect is to go to law school, let alone become a justice of the Florida Supreme Court. And yet that's what happened to R. Fred Lewis, somewhat to his own astonishment. "You have a great fear of failure," Justice Lewis, referring to his humble background, told an audience last month at Miami Law, from which he graduated third in his class in 1972. He returns every so often, as he did in September to preside over the Florida Bar swearing ceremony for the school's May graduates.
A recent lecture at Miami Law addressed the seemingly endless possibilities of so-called Outer Space Law. Two experts on the subject, Rafael Moro Aguilar and Sylvia Ospina, spoke at the invitation of the office of the International Graduate Law Programs and the International Law Society. Ospina discussed sovereign rights over air space, the origins of space law, the five United Nations Outer Space Treaties, and the International Telecommunication Union, while Aguilar addressed space tourism, space debris, and the legal regime of the International Space Station.
While attending the kick-off of LawWithoutWalls' academic year at IE University in Segovia, Spain, Miami Law student Erika Concetta Pagano was invited to give a lecture to a comparative contracts class at the university's campus in Madrid. The invitation was extended by Professor Pedro Letai, an IE faculty member who led its participation in LawWithoutWalls.
Amir Whitaker knows a thing or two about truancy and petty criminality. Growing up with 15 relatives in his grandmother's house in Plainfield, N.J., Whitaker learned to fend for himself while his parents and some of his siblings and cousins spent years behind bars. Money was a scarce commodity. At 15, after Whitaker began dealing drugs to pay for food and clothes, he was arrested and forced to navigate the juvenile justice system first-hand.
In an effort to support legal advocacy for Florida's foster children, The Florida Bar Foundation has awarded a grant of $100,000 toward Miami Law's Children & Youth Law Clinic. The grant, whose funds are being made available by the Batchelor Foundation, honors Miami Law alumnus Burton Young, J.D. '50.
Harold A. Flegelman, a visiting professor and lawyer whose clients include enterprises in the entertainment, media and advertising industries, will teach a short course at Miami Law this month called "Art of the Deal: Acquiring a Music Publishing Catalog." The one-credit course is being offered during the week that begins on March 18.
Steve Berger and his wife, Dr. Laurie Loevner, a professor of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania, have established a scholarship fund at Miami Law. The Berger/Loevner Family Endowed Scholarship Fund will provide financial assistance to deserving law students, and the recipients will be known as Berger/Loevner Scholars.
For some students, there are better things to do during spring break than to head for Key West and frolic on Duval Street. Amanda Roesch, 2L, and a half-dozen other members of Miami Law's Immigration Clinic are making plans to join colleagues from other Florida law schools to fan out across the state for five days next week to help undocumented immigrant youths apply for a temporary immigration status.
In an article in The Student Appeal, an online law journal, third-year Miami Law student Joel Feigenbaum argues for the repeal of discriminatory legislation, often referred to as "garb statutes," that infringe upon the rights of Muslim-American public-school teachers in Pennsylvania and Nebraska.
Carolyn Lamm was one of just ten women among the 370 students entering the class of 1973 at Miami Law. Lamm went on to become the first Miami Law alumna to lead the American Bar Association as its president and has been named by the National Law Journal as one of the nation's 50 most influential women and 100 most influential lawyers.
Bertila Ana Soto, J.D.'89, an adjunct professor at Miami Law, has been elected Chief Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Florida, which serves Miami-Dade County. Her election is historic, as she is the first female chief judge of the circuit as well as the first Hispanic and the first Cuban-American.
Dean's Fellow Jenna Winchester is to become the President of Miami Law's Student Bar Association when the gavel is passed to her later this semester. She will replace Christine Job, who will have served the traditional one-year term.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State Athletics Director Dr. McKinley Boston, along with the NM State Hall of Fame Committee and title sponsor US Bank, announced the 2013 US Bank/NM State Hall of Fame honorees today. This year the Aggies will honor four current hall of fame members and legendary NM State coaches in Lou Henson, Warren Woodson, Presley Askew and Gerald 'Jerry' Hines.
Presley Askew -
Askew served in the NM State athletics department for 12 years from 1953-1965, as head coach of both the basketball and baseball teams. On the basketball court, he led NM State to a Border Conference Championship in 1959-60 and a share of two other titles (58-59 & 60-61) and two appearances in the NCAA Tournament (58-59 & 59-60).
A member of the Helms Baseball Hall of Fame, Askew was also a recipient of the National Association of Basketball Coaches Merit award and NCABC Honor Award. Askew coached two of NM State's most famous student-athletes who went on to record-setting coaching careers; Lou Henson and Gary Ward.
Askew coached the Aggie men's basketball team from 1953-1965 with an overall record of 135-146. His most wins in one season came during the 1959-60 season as the team went 20-7, losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Oregon.
Presley Askew Field was dedicated during homecoming ceremonies on Nov. 14, 1981, in honor of the former Aggie baseball and basketball coach.
Askew graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma in 1930. He was born in Red Oak, Okla., in 1909 and died in 1994. Askew is still revered as one of the greatest coaches in Aggie history.
Warren Woodson –
Woodson is the most accomplished coach in the history of New Mexico State football. In his 10 years as head coach (1958-67), Woodson collected a record of 63-36-3, including a perfect 11-0 season in 1960, as well as a Border Conference Championship. He also led the Aggies to back-to-back Sun Bowl appearances in 1959 and 1960, defeating North Texas State 28-8 in 1959 and Utah State 20-13 in 1960.
Woodson was a very notable American football coach. He was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. His career record at four-year colleges stands 203-95-14 (.673) in 31 seasons, but he won an additional 52 games in junior college and 18 in high school.
Woodson received a degree from Baylor University in 1924, majoring in Bible and history, and earned a degree from Springfield College in 1926, majoring in physical education. He coached four sports at Texarkana College 1927-34 and, in three of the same years also coached three sports at a nearby high school. He then moved on to Conway Teachers College (now University of Central Arkansas) from 1935-1940. In his second year, his team had a perfect 8-0 season. Woodson accepted the head coaching job at Hardin-Simmons University in 1941, where his 1942 team went 8-0-1.
During World War II, Woodson served for three years as a lieutenant commander in the United States Navy. The Hardin-Simmons football program was canceled from 1943-1945. After Woodson returned, his 1946 team went unbeaten with an 11-0 record. His 1948 team was in three bowls - the Grape Bowl, in Dec. 4, a 35-35 tie with College of the Pacific; the Shrine Bowl, Dec. 18, a 40-12 victory over Ouachita Baptist and the Camellia Bowl, Dec. 30, a 49-12 victory over Wichita.
Woodson coached at the University of Arizona, 1952-56, and New Mexico State, 1958-67. His 1960 team went 11-0. He was head coach at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, 1972-73, and later was consultant at New Mexico Highlands.
Gerald 'Jerry' Hines –
Hines enrolled at New Mexico A&M in 1922 and majored in horticulture. His real interest continued to be athletics. Hines captained the basketball team and was quarterback in football under the fine Aggie coach Robert 'Cap' Brown. He was a four-year letterman in both sports. From 1922-26, Aggie basketball went 48-31, football 20-6-1.
Graduating in 1926, Hines was slated to go to South America with an international agricultural company. Instead, he received and accepted an offer to become head basketball and football coach at Las Cruces High. He coached the Bulldogs until summer 1929 when he agreed to return to his alma mater at head basketball and football coach, adding the duties of athletic director the following year.
Hines' teams started slowly in the newly formed Border Conference. Football was 20-20-4 over the period 1929-33 with basketball at 47-58 from 1930-34. With local support, better facilities, and recruiting gradually improving, Aggie athletics soon showed a resurgence. Between 1934 and 1938, football was 31-10-6, and from 1935 to 1940, the basketball team went 102 and 36. The football team was invited to the first Sun Bowl in 1936 where they tied the powerful Hardin-Simmons Cowboys 14-14.
But it was basketball that really took off. Between 1935 and 1940, the Aggies were 102-36, with appearances in the National AAU Tournament in Denver in 1936 and 1937, the NAIB Tournament in Kansas City in 1938; and in 1939, the prestigious NIT Tournament in Madison Square Garden. Over that span, the Aggies won three Border Conference Championships and tied for a fourth. They defeated UNM 19 times in a row.
Although he returned to campus briefly as basketball coach in 1946, World War II effectively brought an early end to Hines' coaching career. As battery commander of the 120th Combat Engineers, a New Mexico National Guard unit assigned to the 45th Infantry Division, Hines and a number of Las Cruces men were among the first called to military duty in September 1940. They served in Africa, Sicily, and Italy where Hines was stricken with a heart condition. He returned to the States in 1945 for limited duty as athletics officer at Ft. Bliss.
Hines ended his coaching career at NMSU with records of 54-36-10 in football, and 157-108 in basketball. He passed away in Albuquerque in 1963 at age 59, the victim of a heart attack. Coach Hines entered the NMSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1970 and will be inducted into the Aggie Basketball Ring of Honor along with ex-players Jimmy Collins and John Williamson on January 31, 2009.
Lou Henson –
Former New Mexico State men's basketball and Hall of Fame head coach Lou Henson led the Aggies for 17 years when he retired in 2005. He is NMSU's all-time winningest coach with 289 wins and he is seventh all-time in career Division I wins with 779.
Henson was named a 2007 New Mexico Distinguished Public Service Award recipient. The honor "recognizes unusual contributions to the public service and to the improvement of government at all levels by both government employees and private citizens."
In 2008, he was also one of the inaugural inductees in the NMSU men's basketball Ring of Honor. The National Basketball Coaches Association also honored Henson with the Hillyard Golden Anniversary Award at the 2008 NCAA Final Four in San Antonio, Texas.
Henson was a leader for the Aggies on and off the court. Henson along with his wife, Mary, demonstrated their commitment to academics and competitive excellence at NMSU in February 2002, when the Henson family made a generous contribution in the amount of $100,000 to help establish the Lou and Mary Henson Endowment Scholarship Fund, in memory of their late son, Lou, Jr. The fund was designed to support deserving student-athletes at NMSU for their academic and athletic achievements.
Henson, a 41-year veteran of the game is the all-time winningest coach at two Division I schools (NMSU and Illinois). He is currently third all-time in games coached with 1,191 and was the 15th fastest coach in history to reach 700 wins. Henson ranks 12th all-time in most Division I 20-win seasons with 20 and recorded nine consecutive 20-win seasons.
The Okay, Okla., native is one of only 11 coaches to take two different schools to the Final Four. During his Aggie career, Henson's teams made 19 NCAA appearances, four NIT appearances, won two conference championships and produced five all-Americans. He is a member of the New Mexico State, Illinois and Hardin-Simmons Hall of Fames. In 2002, New Mexico State honored Henson by naming the Pan American Center's parquet floor 'Lou Henson Court.'
The official induction ceremony will be held at halftime of the NM State versus UT-Arlington men's basketball game on March 9, at the Pan American Center.
The US Bank/NM State Athletics Hall of Fame seeks to recognize New Mexico State University student-athletes, coaches, special benefactors and teams who have distinguished themselves in the field of athletics, either by virtue of their performance on athletic teams representing the university, or by meritorious efforts on behalf of athletics. The hall of fame is maintained thanks to the generous support of US Bank.

True Blood
Ryan Kwanten Cast in Aussie Thriller Cut Snake
If you can separate Ryan Kwanten from his True Blood character, Jason Stackhouse — if only for the span of two hours — you might enjoy Cut Snake, the Australian thriller in which Ryan was just cast.
The film, based on a real-life incident in Australia in 1973, tracks two ex-cons who torch a nightclub, killing 15 people.
Deadline reports that Ryan will play one of the baddies, opposite Strike Back's Sullivan Stapleton, and his girlfriend will be played by 666 Park Avenue's Rachael Taylor.
In case you've been fooled by their American accents, that whole trio is Australian.
The movie is expected to start production in mid 2013, right around the time we should finally get Season 6 of True Blood.

Personally I usually prefer either but not both, because general MMO mechanics dont really work for both.
The PvE trinity system works horrible in PvP while twitched based combat systems lacks something for the PvE.
GW2 is a step in the right direction but we really do need some new mechanics to make both work perfectly.

Dude...that's exactly what I was saying. Yes, it is possible to have a player run economy in a purely PvE game, but you would have to have a very different PvE system with DESTRUCTABLE player equipment, otherwise inflation and item creation gets out of control in a real hurry.
Where's the any key?

As a response to that green part, you obviously missed the line where I said you would need a PvE system with DESTRUCTABLE equipment. For a good, in-depth player run economy where the players make nearly everything you can use, there needs to be a system in place where virtually all of that made stuff can also get destroyed if the player isn't careful, otherwise players would just create, create, create and glut the market with "stuff" that no one will buy. There could be not even the slightest scrap of PvP anywhere in the entire game but you'll still need this system to have a good economy.
A lot of MMO players that prefer PvE over PvP probably wouldn't want to play a pure PvE game that was this harsh, given what I've seen people complain about in this forum. I know EXACTLY how it could be made though, even down to the storyline and details of the item loss. I doubt any game producer other than CCP would be willing to take the chance on making something that different, but I would definitely play it if anyone did.

Iarð skal rifna, ok upphiminn.
I apologise.
The way it was worded seemed to imply that you were saying the only means without PvP would be to have an exceptionally harsh PvE environment ant most devs naturally shy away from, in which case PvP becomes in a sense a necessary evil for the economy.
I would repeat my comment in regards to the solution though.

It's about hitting up the various spawns - whether mobs or nodes before other players can, faster they can, so that you've got the goods.
You said "no PvP whatsoever" - which would mean no economy.
All PvP means is that is a a player (or group of players) in competition against another player (or another group of players). PvP takes many forms - it's not just about trying to stick each other with pointy objects.
That competition takes many forms in games. There are many paths where players compete against other players without having to throw a single fireball. Server firsts, achievement firsts, friendliest guild, largest guild, coolest looking outfit, most vanity pets, etc, etc, etc.
There are people that claim to despise PvP - that spend more hours in a day participating in PvP than the people that they rant and rave against....

Sorry, not seeing how that type of economy needs to be any different depending on whether you have a PvP game or a PvE game. In a PvE game, people are farming equipment from NPC mobs. In a PvP game, people are farming equipment from other players. In both cases, the equipment ought to be destructable to keep people from being able to sell it for ridiculous profits.

That's kind of why that point is important. A lot of folks will claim they are against combat PvP for reasons that they completely ignore while participating in other forms of PvP. Folks need to take a honest look at why they do not like/want it, and then provide those honest reasons. Where's the issue in that?

I see great value in having both PvE and PvP in the same game. It certainly makes for a lively community and gives folks a genuine alternative from whichever one they mostly spend playing. I voted both.

When they introduced PVP elements in Rift beta on PVE servers, people lost it. But I stood by them, if your game promises PVE, you better stick with your promise, some people (me included) do not like PVP in any form.
I completely respect people who like PVP, it's just not my thing you know, when pure PVE players say they don't want PVP, most mean it, which the Rift developers didn't understand at first, no PVP for PVE players means 0 PVP, not 1% PVP lol.
EQ was pure PVE, there were 2 servers of PVP iirc, and like 20 PVE servers, and they were all pure PVE, there was no PVP outside of a tiny arena in the bazaar that people used for fun sometimes. PVE is a style of play that should be respected like PVP, I never tell people who play PVP how they should play, so I don't think PVP players should have any say on a PVE server.
It depends on the game though, I don't go asking for a PVE server on a game that I know has PVP, but if the game has pure PVE servers, when they try to introduce PVP on those servers, it usually doesn't end well.

Clearly, nobody in this thread is talking about economics, only combat. Derailing the discussion and trying to talk about something entirely different and only tangentially related isn't going to change the fact that most people hate combat PvP.

How does getting to the root issue of why they hate it derail the thread when that's what the thread is about? It can't be because they do not want to compete with other players, because they most likely do compete with other players.
So many of the reasons given are things that happen on both the PvP and PvE side of things - and likely even happen more on the PvE side.
It's like asking a person why they don't like a certain type of food. They give you all sorts of reasons why they supposedly don't like it - but all of those reasons are nullified by the simple fact that they eat other foods with similar qualities. It's much simpler if they just give a straight answer. I don't like peanuts. I'm allergic. Nice and simple.
When somebody gives an answer that doesn't make any sense - a dev is going to take that as an answer that doesn't make any sense....

I haven't seen PVP and PVE done both right in a game except for Pirates of the Burning Sea.
Pirates of the Burning sea has open world PvP. There are zones on the map which are designated as PvP area (and pirate PvP area, where only pirates can attack or be attacked). The PvP areas are dynamic, they continuesly change.
It starts by causing 'unrest' near another nation's harbor, by turning your PvP flag on while in the water. As a counter people cause 'rest' by also going into the water and turning on their PvP flag, and fighting. But, and this is why it is interesting, 'rest' can also be caused by PvE players: They can do special missions, they can attack NPC near the harbor, you can even craft materials for the war effort and give them to the town.
After enough unrest, we get a open PvP zone, where everyone can fight players from other nations. After a while the PvP zone goes away and depending who wins the town changes nations or it stays the same. The player who own the town can set the tax rate on it, so conquests are meaningful. Also the dynamic PvP zones causes dynamics in the market of crafting materials.

I don't. I don't compete against anyone, at any time, for any reason. I'm just not intererested. That's in combat or economics. Yet if you read this thread, virtually everyone who argues against PvP has done so specifically on the basis of combat. I don't recall a single message in this thread where someone has hated PvP because of economics.
In fact, I have so little interest in in-game economies, I almost always sell anything I find to the NPCs, unless I come up with something I know is rare, at which time I'll shout "who wants this?" in guild chat. I can't recall the last time I used an auction house to sell anything.

It's a general discussion that has taken place across many threads. Some people may feel they have made their point in other threads and have no need to repost in this thread - still, their thoughts on PvP are still out there.
I applaud your direct answer, and I hope that you do not believe that I was calling you out personally in the least - but there is little doubt that one could see where many of the posts against PvP make little sense when viewing them from the general populace.
Even in discussing combat PvP - it still leaves many questions. In your case, you do not want to compete with other players. That's not the only reason for folks not wanting to participate though. Some may want to compete but feel that it's not very competitive in certain games.
Yes, it requires more effort to the discussion that most are willing to give. I don't play other games though. I haven't touched a console in almost 9 months, I haven't played a single player PC game in over a year... it's pretty much MMOs and has been for around 15 years.
I suppose the Fall TV schedule hasn't helped...lol...meh.
But given all the various types of PvP out there - are people really drawing the line at PvP in general or are they really just against certain types. Even with combat PvP, are they against OWPvP - FFAPvP - Arenas - Zones - instanced Battlegrounds - Duels - Factional - Guild - etc, etc, etc.
PvP has been a discussion for well over a decade...
