Dr. Sharon Hoffman, candidate
for the position of provost, will visit
Texas Wesleyan Nov. 1 and 2, 2001.
Hoffman is one of two finalists for the
position; the other is current acting
provost Allen Henderson.
Hoffman and Henderson were
chosen from among eight original
candidates as frontrunners for the
position by a 10-person search com-
mittee consisting of faculty, staff and
one student representative.
Of the eight, six were inter-
viewed via telephone; two others had
already taken other jobs by the time
the phone interviews were conducted.
The committee then selected
three finalists; Hoffman, Henderson
and a third person who withdrew
from the search after receiving
"unfortunate health news," according
to committee chair Joy Edwards,
director of distance learning graduate
programs.
Hoffman's campus visit will
include meetings with President
Harold G. Jeffcoat, the deans, mem-
bers of SGA and faculty members.
She will also dine wilh the members
of the search committee. Her visit
will conclude with a tour of Fort
Worth, led by chief legal counsel
Quentin McGown and Edwards.
A similar series of meetings will
be arranged for Henderson later in
November, after which time the
search committee will make its deci-

Sando wins $2,500 award HALLOWEEN'S HAPPENING HERE!
Donna Haney
NEWS EDITOR
Senior accounting major Laith
Sando was recently named as the
2001-02 Thomas H. Law Scholar-
ship award recipient. The
announcement came during the
Fort Worth Business Hall of Fame
dinner held on Oct. 18.
The $2,500 cash award is
given to an "exemplary undergrad-
uate business major chosen by the
faculty of Wesleyan's school of
business." It was established in
1998 by former Wesleyan President
Jake B. Schrum and was named in
honor of Thomas H. Law, a former
recipient of the Outstanding Busi-
ness Executive of the Year award.
According to Sando, he had no
idea he was nominated for the
award until he was told the week
before the Hall of Fame dinner that
he had been selected.
"It was a very pleasant surprise
and a great honor to be recognized
at that dinner," said Sando. "I
would like to thank the professor
who nominated me."
Sando came to Wesleyan in
1998 from Grafton, N.D.. recruited
to compete on the golf team. He
was a member of Wesleyan's 1999
National Association of Intercolle-
giate Athletics national champi-
onship team and was awarded the
John and Ann Burge Sportsman-
ship Award.
In addition to his participation
on the golf team, Sando serves as
treasurer of the Student Govern-
ment Association; vice president of
Lambda Chi Alpha, one of Wes-
leyan's social fraternities; and vice
president of Mortar Board, a senior
honor society.
Sando is also an active mem-
ber of Wesleyan Student Founda-
tion; Sigma Beta Delta, a business
honor society; and Phi Alpha Delta,
a law honor society.
In 2000, Sando became
engaged to marry senior biology
major Jennifer Barnes. Both will
graduate in May 2002 and have set
the wedding date for a month later.
Barnes and Sando were elected
"Mr. & Ms. Texas Wesleyan" in
2(XX).
Barnes is active on campus,,
serving as secretary of SGA; presi-
dent of Mortar Board; new member
educator of Gamma Phi Beta, a
social sorority; vice president of
Beta Beta Beta, a life science soci-
ety; and a member of the Student
Foundation.
When asked what he planned
to do with the cash award, Sando
smiled and said, "Since my final
semester is already paid for, 1 have
personal plans for the money, but
she (Barnes] doesn't know what I
am going to do with it."
Previous winners of the
Thomas H. Law Scholarship award
are Chris Pate in 1999 and Andrew
Dornan in 2000.

After-hours security procedures change
sages or information that does not require a quick
response, for example to talk to someone about a cita-
tion or to obtain vehicle registration," said Huddleston.
The 4911 number will be answered by the radio
command phone [after hours] and all day weekends
and holidays.
"Calls [to ext. 4911 ] should be restricted those that
require the immediate response of a security officer.
This may be for reporting criminal or suspicious activ-
ity, unlocking of a door or courtesy escort to a vehicle."
Huddleston said.
"This isn't like the police department 911 number.
You don't have to wait until it is an "emergency." But
we do want to ask that it be a situation that warrants an
officer. We still want students to know they can call us
when they need us." Huddleston said.

There will be a change in the way Wesleyan secu-
rity handles after-hour calls, effective Thursday, Nov.
1, according to Chuck Huddleston, director of facilities
operations.
"Beginning with the afternoon shift on Thursday,
incoming calls to ext. 4290 between the hours of 5 p.m.
and 8 a.m. will be picked up by an answering
machine," said Huddleston.
"The 'emergency' telephone number, ext. 4911
will be answered by officers with radios."
Huddleston said the change was implemented in
order to cut down on some calls security personnel
were handling over the radio.
"The 4290 number should be used to leave ines-
Maintenance supervisor recovering from mild heart attack

John Newsom, Wesleyan's maintenance
supervisor, suffered a mild heart attack in his
home on Oct. 27, his second in six years,
according to Cheryl Schneck, administrative
assistant to facilities operations.
"He was taken to Granbury Hospital and
then transported on Monday to Baylor Med-
ical Center," said Schneck.
"[Doctors] did a catheterization on Tues-
day and were able to find the blockage. They
put in a stint during the angioplasty," Schneck
said.
During an angioplasty procedure, a "bal-
loon" is run through arteries, opening and—
when successful—clearing away plaque
buildup that causes blood flow blockage.
A stint is a device that is placed around
the "balloon" which remains in the artery to
prevent a re-collapse of the artery walls or the
reaccumulation of plaque.
According to Schneck, Newsom's wife
Renee has been in frequent contact with the
facilities operations office, giving regular
updates on Newsome's condition.
"She said he was hoping to be released
today, but they will keep him for a few more
tests." said Schneck.
"His heartbeat is slightly accelerated.
Doctors want to run more tests to find out
why."
According to Schneck, there will be
numerous steps in the cardiac rehabilitation,
so it is not known how long it might be before
Newsom will be able to return to work.
Newsom has been an employee of Wes-
leyan since September 1995.
"We are all sending out our best wishes
for his complete recovery and his timely
return to Wesleyan." said Chuck Huddleston.
