The Rambler
Ethics team, from page 1
fessor, and Mary Anne
Clark, professor, of biology
participated as well as Ann
Reed, assistant professor of
education and the elementary
field.
"It's a pretty amazing
event," McManus said. "It
really challenges you to
think on your feet," he
explained, and "encourages
[students] to go beyond their
gut feeling."
Dr. Linda Carroll, assis-
tant professor of English and
ethics team faculty sponsor,
said that they hope to get
freshmen, sophomore and
juniors involved next year.
"The experience will not
only enhance students' criti-
cal thinking skills, but will
expose them to ideas beyond
their own personal experi-
ences — including Wesleyan
experiences," Carroll said.
Wesleyan's participation
in the event stretches back to
the Association for Practical
and Professional Ethics' sec-
ond meeting in 1996. The
Pre-Professional program
funds the trips, McManus
said, and they have been
very "supportive to send a
team."
"It's an impressive
sight," McManus says, of the
full convention of 40 univer-
sities with four- to six-mem-
ber teams plus sponsors and
the military students in dress
uniform.
"It was personally
rewarding for me to see how
much our students learned
from the experience," Carroll
said.
"I feel that the opportu-
nity has caused me to grow
in knowledge and to under-
stand issues from alternate
perspectives. Our team is
composed of students from
various backgrounds and dis-
ciplines, which gives us a
wide base from which to
draw information," Sinatra
said. "I would recommend
this class to any student who
would like to expand their
understanding of ethics,
teamwork and conflict reso-
lution."

Ron McManus at (817) 531-

Hubcap, from page 1
labus is the way it is today,"
said Sewell, "and the main
reason the class is taught the
way it is today."
Sewell said that he con-
sidered Carter, who was
known to many that loved
him as "Hubba," to be a very
good friend in the 15
years he knew him.
Sewell reminisced
that Carter was the
type of person whose
personality always
shown through,
regardless of the situ-
ation. That personali-
ty shined brightly
after a story in The
Rambler referred to
Carter as "incompe-
tent" during his stint
as sports information
director. According
to Sewell, when the
current managing
editor called to apologize to
Carter, he jokingly admitted
his incompetence and
laughed. Sewell said that it
was this type of personality
that made Carter so wonder-
ful to be around.
Larry Shannon, publish-
er of www.dailyradio
news.com, where Carter's
columns were featured regu-
larly and founder of the
Texas Radio Hall of Fame,
into which Carter was
inducted in October 2002,
said, "He was a unique per-
son and a unique radio per-
sonality. He always had a
smile on his face," reported
the Dallas Morning News.
John Mocek, associate
athletic director for finance
and administration at the
University of Arlington,
where Carter broadcast UTA
football games from 1976 to
1985, said in that same
report, "You couldn't help
but be around Hubcap and
not have humor injected into
the conversation within the
first few minutes.. .he was a
tremendous people person."
"Hubcap Carter was an
icon. His name will always
generate pleasant conversa-
tions when the topic of "real
radio" is brought into focus,"

Ken "Hubcap" Carter spent over 40 years as a
disc jockey, including 20 years at KLUV-FM.
commented legendary disc
jockey Bill Mack, a fan, on
Carter's Web site, www.hub-
capcarter.com. "He was one
of a kind, great radio person-
ality, wonderful human
being."
Steve Eberhart, a former
co-worker of Carter, wrote
on Carter's Web site, "As
many health issues as he
had, I don't recall ever hear-
ing him complain. Hubcap
was multi-talented, a great
air talent in both news and as
a DJ, a thought provoking
teacher, but more than any-
thing, he was a genuinely
nice person, and always a
good friend."
Sewell referred to Carter
as a "jack-of-all-trades."
Childhood friend and morn-
ing anchor at KILT-FM
(100.3) in Houston, Robert
B. McEntire, said in the
Dallas Morning News,
"Everything he touched he
handled well." Aside from
his career in radio, broad-
casting and teaching and
serving at Wesleyan, Carter
also loved his family and he
loved kids.
"Hubcap was the kind of
guy who stayed 16 his whole
life," said Sewell, "so he nat-
urally got along with 16-
year-olds."
Carter's son,
Christopher Carter,
of Little Rock,
Ark., said in a Fort
Worth Star-
Telegram report,
"His true love was
teaching. Everyone
focused on his
career in radio, but
that was one of his
true passions."
This is why it
makes sense to
those that knew
Carter well that he
returned to teach-
ing in 1993. Carter left
KLUV to teach English and
radio/television at North
Dallas High School for one-
fourth the salary he earned
as a disc jockey. He taught at
North Dallas until 2000.
One of Carter's students
from 1994, Maria Galaviz,
paid tribute to her teacher on
his Web site: "He touched
my life in such a way that I
will never be able to forget
the man I know as 'Hubba.'
He was more than a friend to
me, he was a great father fig-
ure, and I will always love
him for his support."
Carter's other survivors
include sons Michael Carter
of Piano and Robert Carter
of Farmer's Branch; daugh-
ters, Erica Felker of Fort
Worth and Melinda Carter of
Atlanta, Ga.; eight grandchil-
dren and one great-grand-
child. Funeral arrangements
are pending, with North
Dallas Funeral Home in
Dallas.

Web page for The Rambler
soon to be up and running
Editor's Note
The staff of The Rambler is excited
about the upcoming addition to the Texas
Wesleyan University Website.
Thanks to Jason Neal, director of aca-
demic technology and web development, our
student publication of The Rambler will have
a Web page as a link from the Texas
Wesleyan homepage at
www.txwes.edu.
The page will feature various
options, including the option to
read each week's current issue
online. The Rambler has not been
featured online since it had a stand-
alone Web site in 2000, which was
shut down due to financial reasons.
The page, which will be
accessed through the "Student
Services" scroll menu at the bot-
tom right of the university home-
page just below the RamLink icon, will con-
tain contact and biographical information,
including the editor-in-chief's personal num
ber, so that anyone, anywhere can get in
touch and in tune with The Rambler staff.
There will be a section that will be
devoted to assisting students in contacting
the staff for any needs or concerns. This sec
tion will contain an electronic story submis-
sion form and an Adobe Acrobat PDF-ver-
Marc
Nettles
sion of our letter-to-the-editor form.
An advertising section will also be fea-
tured on the upcoming page. This section
will include our national, local and Wesleyan
advertising rates and a PDF-version of The
Rambler Advertising Insertion Order Form,
for those interested in purchasing advertising
or classified space in any of our issues.
There will also be hyperlinks to any and all
of our advertiser's Web sites.
Each current issue will be
available in PDF form each week.
This will be a great chance for
those truly interested in Wesleyan
news, current events, sports and
entertainment to get a sneak peek at
each edition before it hits the stands
each Wednesday.
There will also be photo gal-
leries, which will grow each pass-
ing week. The photos will be sorted
by date and section of the paper in
which they appear.
An archive section will also appear on
the page with issues dating as far back as fall
2002.
While no actual date has been set for the
launch of The Rambler's Web page, the staff
of The Rambler believes it will be up and
running by the end of next week. We will
keep you posted.
Are you set and
ready for next
semester?
