For over thirty years, the late Richard Knowles and Steve Langdon taught at The University of Memphis. Now their former students, colleagues, friends and family will relive cherished moments at the “Memories: Richard Knowles and Steve Langdon” exhibit.

Steve Langdon, who died in 2002 of prostate cancer, and Richard Knowles, who died last year of throat and blad-der cancer, are remembered well by former art department chairman and ‘Memories’ curator Larry Edwards.

“They were very well-liked by all their students, but they had very different teaching styles and personalities that complimented each other,” Edwards said. “This exhibit shows off the well-rounded possibilities in art and they play well against each other.”

Edwards described Langdon as a quiet man who had purpose to everything he said.

“Everyone knew to listen to him when he opened his mouth. When he critiqued my work, I listened, that’s how much I valued his opinion.”

Rachel Langdon, Steve Langdon’s daughter, said she and many friends will remem-ber him for something more than his words.

“Everyone knew my dad was coming around the corner because they could hear him whistling,” Langdon said.

Langdon said she will always have the memories of him constantly sketching, a sign of passion for his craft.

“It didn’t matter where he was or what else he was doing, he was always drawing and doodling something,” Langdon said.

Langdon said the paintings have not been viewed by

Lady Tigers remain undefeated

Memphis City Councilman Joe Brown recently delayed a decision that would allow for the Ramesses statue, currently outside the Pyramid, to be moved to The University of Memphis campus for public display.

Brown said that placing the city-owned monolith – a likeness of the 13th century B.C. Egyptian ruler – at the state-owned University would be a conflict of interest.

He originally delayed the decision in May, citing the need for transparency in the city council on the grounds that the city needed to issue a request for permissions.

However, after three months, The University of Memphis was the only organization to answer the city’s request.

“The University should get the statue. We have been deeply involved with it from the very beginning,” said Bob Eoff, U of M vice president of marketing and communications.

Brown still opposed the plan and said he’d rather the statue go to the Memphis Zoo or a location along the riverfront.

“I think the councilman is projecting this request onto the zoo. They don’t seem to actually be inter-ested,” said Lorelei Corcoran, director of The U of M’s Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology. “I don’t understand the objection. I think this is a stalling tactic

For the ninth consecutive year, the Fogelman College of Business and Economics has recognized three profes-sors they feel have best contributed to the department’s goals.

The Fogelman College of Business and Economics has awarded three of its instructors with a professor-ship award, an honor that includes a $10,000 reward.

The Suzanne Downs Palmer award is given each year to three University of Memphis professors from Fogelman.

Palmer-winning professors are awarded a plaque and $10,000 to be spent at the recipient’s discretion. The award can be given for teaching, research or ser-vice. The nomination process prevents faculty from nominating faculty, but allows for professors to nomi-nate themselves.

Thomas Miller, associate dean of academic progress in business and economics, said that when picking the recipients, the selection committee – comprised of pre-vious winners – has a hard time deciding on just three candidates.

“The problem with picking winners is that you have several nominations that all fit a criteria,” Miller said. “The committee wants to be very confident that the winners are deserving. After going through the kind of scrutiny the committee puts them through, it is safe to say all of our winners deserved to be recognized.”

This year’s winners are Emin Babakus, Charles A. Pierce

A Weekly Devotional For YouLive Now for Old Age

Not everyone who reads this is young, but most of you are. Youth and young adulthood should be among the most wonderful and enjoyable periods of your life. You are probably in better health and have more energy than you will as you grow older. You are mentally sharp and seem to have an unlimited future before you. It is tempting to think that you can engage in any kind of activity you wish with impunity. Now is the time to get all the “gusto” you can, before you have to settle down to adult responsibilities. At this time of life, it would be well to listen carefully to one of the wisest men who ever lived. Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 12:1, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them…” Then he went on to describe these “evil days” as the days of old age which are usually accompanied by declining health and severely limited physical abilities. How sad it is to see those who have come to old age with many regrets because of misbehavior in their youth. The liabilities of old age can be greatly alleviated by having a good conscience. Whether or not you realize it, you are now preparing for old age. Prepare well!

Students aching for a quick snack will have healthier options after fall break when The Univesity of Memphis ends its relationship with Canteen vend-ing machines.

Canteen is being replaced by Gilly Vending, a company based in Miami, Florida.

Sandra Barksdale, director of auxiliary services, said both com-panies provide similar services and products.

“This contract is for snacks only, and does not include beverages,” she said. “It is my goal to provide more ‘better for you’ options in the snack vending machines.”

Barksdale was unable to offer specifics on the new snacks, but said some of them will have a lower calorie count than others. Students will still be able to buy them with their dining dollars.

There are approximately 35 Canteen vending machines on campus, all of which will be replaced with Gilly vending machines.

Anthony Maclin, route driver for Canteen for four years, said he enjoys deliveries to The U of M

campus. “‘Candy Man,’ that’s what

they call me,” Maclin said. “I’ve got to know the workers. I’m going to miss some of those guys and the professors here.”

Maclin said that because of the nature of his job and his constant access to free snacks he would call himself a “candy connoisseur.”

He said that in some vend-ing machines, there are healthier options including snack bars, pret-zels and products made with fruit.

Marian Levy, associate profes-sor of public health, said people

don’t realize there are healthy choices in vending machines.

She said it’s best to avoid snacks with a lot of chocolate as they contain high amounts of fat and saturated fats.

“You want to look for things that are lower in sodium, like Baked Lays or peanuts,” she said.

Levy said students should also pay attention to portion sizes.

“It’s a matter of reading labels, knowing portion sizes, knowing the calorie count and nutritive value of what is in the package,” she said.

and Albert Okunade, who won for teaching, research and service, respectively.

“I’m delighted to be rec-ognized,” Babakus said. “I have been teaching for over 26 years, and being awarded for something I love to do is an absolute joy.”

Winning the professorship came as more of a surprise to Okunade, who said that he was not expecting the honor.

“This came as such a sur-prise because I was just doing my job,” Okunade said. “I am grateful to be recognized, because I consider The U of M my second family. It has been a pleasure to serve this University.”

The professorships were made possible with a $400,000 contribution to the Fogelman College from U of M alumnus Dan Palmer. This is the ninth year The University has given out the award.

Palmer made the donation as a tribute to his wife, and as a gesture of appreciation of the education he received through the department.

“This award does more than just honor professors,” Okunade said. “Winning has made me want to do better. It has made me want to contin-ue improving, consistently.”

The University of Memphis Wind Ensemble is ready to showcase their hard work in their first solo concert of the semester tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Harris Concert Hall.

The concert is free to all University students, facul-ty and staff with their ID. General admission is $8.

“The concert is about color and dance, and it includes five pieces,” said Albert Nguyen, conductor and director of band and area coordinator for wind studies.

Nguyen said the ensemble is comprised of the best wind players and percussionists in the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music at The U of M, and includes graduate and under-graduate students.

Tryouts were held three days before classes started this fall, and the ensemble will include as many as 50 musicians.

Pieces for tonight’s per-formance include selec-tions from “Danserye,” by Tielman Susato, “Song of the Telegraph,” by Ian Dicke, “Firefly” by Ryan George, “The Marbled Midnight Mile,” by Steven Bryant and “Starry Crown,” by Donald Grantham.

The night’s arrangements vary in time-periods from the 1500s to present.

“The ensemble practices Tuesdays and Thursdays in the fall from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and in the spring on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the same times,” Nguyen said.

Melodie Moore, sophomore music history major, has been playing with the ensemble since she was in high school, and said that she still enjoys performing.

“I love being on stage,” she said. “It is great to play with other musicians who love music as much as you and are just as dedicated. We rehearse hard, but it is a good mix of seriousness and humor. It is a good learning environment.”

Carol Morse, marketing and communications manager in the school of music, is pro-moting the event and trying to reach out to those who may not typically come to their music performances.

“We promote through our printed calendar booklet our website and The University of Memphis Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music Facebook group,” she said.

Morse said attendance var-ies with each concert, but through the Centennial Kick-Off Concert they gained a whole new audience.

“ (The Univers i ty ) loved what we did at the Centennial,” she said. “We just want people to give us a chance.”

There are typically three concerts each semester for the wind ensemble, Nguyen said, the next one being the Sousa Spectacular on Nov. 20 at 3 p.m., comprised of the wind ensemble, the sympho-ny band, and The University Band. Each group will play three pieces.

“I am not sure how many people will attend, but we are hoping to fill the audito-rium,” Nguyen said.

Wind ensemble debuts tonightBY TRACEY HARLOWNews Reporter

the public since her father passed.“His work has always been on

display at home, but now I’m glad I can share it with everyone else,” Langdon said.

Langdon said she believes this exhibit is an important event for the art scene in Memphis and hopes the exhibit will give people a chance to say goodbye.

“This is going to be amazing closure for a lot of people and really good closure for me as well,” Langdon said.

Carol Knowles, Richard’s widow, said there could not be a more appropriate title for this three-month exhibit.

“Richard loved art, philosophy and life, and those are the memo-ries I have of him,” Knowles said.

She said much of his art was inspired by their travels and his passion for nature.

“I remember traveling with him and being on the beaches of the pacific coast with him in California while he was sketching. Sometimes while I would walk along the beach he would take pictures of me in the distance or draw me into his sketches,” Knowles said.

Carol said her husband’s pas-sion for life could be seen in the way he painted the waves of the ocean, the deserts in New Mexico and the landscapes of Utah.

Carol said Knowles also brought that passion into his classrooms. She said her husband encouraged his students to think for them-selves and discover who they were as artists.

“When students would admire his style of painting, he would push them to find the style that worked for them,” said Knowles.

She said her husband loved individuality and tried to show that in every piece he drew or painted.

Ramona Sonin, U of M alumni and former student of Knowles, Langdon and Edwards, will have her ‘My Trailer Tarts’ drawn series displayed in the case works of the Communications and Fine Arts Building lobby. Her series will focus on fictional women from trailer parks.

She said she is honored to be a part of the ‘Memories’ exhibit because Knowles, Langdon and Edwards helped shape her as an artist.

“I feel very blessed to even be included in such a special night,” Sonin said.

Sonin said she learned a lot from the honorees and curator and absorbed the techniques of paint-ing from Langdon.

“(Langdon) would walk up to me and take my painting out of my hand and start painting on it, I loved him for that,” Sonin said.

Sonin said that while Edwards whipped her into shape and helped her focus, Knowles taught her the lifestyle of an artist.

“I learned how to survive from Knowles and without all of them, I doubt I would be the artist I am today. I needed all those elements to become a total artist,” Sonin said.

Edwards said there will be no replacement for these great artists as their passing left voids that can never be filled.

“The reason why this show is so important is because this might be the last time their work is ever viewed again,” Edwards said. “They will be very missed.”

At least 22 people were killed in clashes between military police and Coptic Christian pro-testers in the latest eruption of violence highlighting Egypt’s deepening sectarian divisions since President Hosni Mubarak was driven from power in February.

In the bloodiest unrest since last winter’s uprising, authorities said, three soldiers and 19 pro-testers were killed Sunday when Copts threw Molotov cocktails at riot police outside the state

Radio and Television Building in downtown Cairo. The chaos was further inflamed when thugs in plainclothes attacked Copts, some carrying crucifixes, as they marched along the Nile at dusk.

The violence escalated quickly and jolted what had begun as a peaceful rally by Christians to protest the recent burning by Muslims of a church in south-ern Egypt. Copts began hurl-ing bottles and rocks at secu-rity forces after military vehicles plowed through demonstrators as gunshots echoed overhead and crowds scattered.

“Protesters fired bird shot at the military police,” said a

policeman at the scene who would not give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media. “The police didn’t interfere until protesters shot dead one of our officers and set ablaze a number of military vehicles and threw stones at the TV building.”

But Peter Magdy, a Coptic protester, said, “We wanted to have a sit-in to demand the end of oppression against Christians. But the military police told us to leave after 10 minutes and then people from nearby neigh-borhoods came and attacked us with stones and sticks. ... Military vehicles ran over many demonstrators and I ran to save myself.”

Tear gas and flames rose along the Nile as riots spread into Tahrir Square and young men appeared in the streets to sup-port the army by chasing Copts. Both sides plucked cobblestones from the roads to use as weap-ons. Television footage showed a priest shielding a soldier being beaten by Copts. More than 150 people were injured.

The unrest revealed the intensifying mistrust between Christians and Muslims at a time when the country’s ruling mili-tary council has not protected Coptic churches and other insti-tutions from attacks by radical Islamists. Extremist voices have grown louder as Salafis and other ultraconservative Islamists have enjoyed broader freedoms since the fall of Mubarak’s police state.

In May, 12 people were killed when Muslims attacked two churches in Cairo’s impover-ished Imbaba neighborhood. In March, Muslims burned down a church in Helwan, south of

Netflix Inc. is dropping a plan to create two separate websites for its customers to use depend-ing on whether they are renting DVDs or downloading movies and TV shows to their computers and televisions.

However, a recent price increase that led to a backlash from consumers and a slide in the company’s stock price remains in place.

In July, Netflix dropped a $9.99-a-month plan that let cus-tomers watch an unlimited num-ber of movies online and rent one DVD at a time. Now subscrib-ers who want that combination must pay $15.98 a month -- $7.99 for movie streaming and $7.99 to

receive discs in the mail.In an announcement on its cor-

porate website Monday, Netflix said it was abandoning its plan to create a separate brand called Qwikster for its DVD business as part of the new pricing structure.

The Qwikster move, announced last month, seemed only to further confuse and dis-turb customers and investors.

“It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more diffi-cult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs,” CEO Reed Hastings wrote in Monday’s announcement.

“This means no change: one website, one account, one password ... in other words, no Qwikster.”

Cairo. Those attacks and ensu-ing political turmoil have prompted thousands of Copts, who make up 10 percent of Egypt’s population of more than 80 million, to leave the country in recent months.

Their departures mark a dis-turbing prospect and underline the darker side of the “Arab Spring” uprisings. The unity among Egyptians that brought down the former regime has been splintering for months. The country is struggling with economic problems and brac-ing for parliamentary elections in November, which are likely to further harden religious and political divisions.

Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf contacted reli-gious leaders and security offi-cials Sunday night to calm the situation. The violence flared shortly after thousands of Copts and some Muslim sup-

porters marched from an outly-ing neighborhood to join a sit-in at the Radio and Television Building. The bloodshed was at least partly instigated by thugs, who often appear at protests and sit-ins to intimidate anti-government demonstrators.

“The only beneficiary of these events and acts of vio-lence are the enemies of the January revolution and the ene-mies of the Egyptian people, both Muslim and Christian,” he said on his Facebook page.

But Copts have accused the ruling military council and its interim government of not cracking down on extremist ele-ments. Copts have been protest-ing for months for improved security; many of them say they were better protected under Mubarak than current military leader Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi.

“The people want to topple the field marshal!” the protest-ers yelled Sunday as the clashes broke out. They also chanted “No to the burning of church-

es” and “Raise your head high. You are a Copt.”

Churches and monasteries have often turned into battle-grounds, especially if a bell tower or a cupola’s cross rises too close to a mosque. Egypt has often prided itself on the relative peaceful coexistence of Muslims and Christians, but Copts say they fear that genera-tions of subtle discrimination are evolving into more pointed dangers.

Nabil Gabriel, a Coptic lawyer, told the news outlet Ahram Online: “You can call it whatever you like. ... But the point is we want equality in this country.”

There were also scenes of solidarity in downtown Cairo as hundreds of Muslims stood with Copts amid broken glass and rows of riot police. By late Sunday night, though, most Copts had disappeared from the TV building and Tahrir Square, where about 150 Muslim men chanted: “With our souls and blood we protect Islam.”

and it seems illogical.”Abbey Dane, Director

of Marketing and Communications for the Memphis Zoo, said the Zoo had not submitted a formal request for the statue.

“We have indicated that if the city were to ask the Zoo to accept the statue, we would cooperate and try to find a suitable place for it, but that it is not a priority item with us and we have no funds to com-mit to it,” Dane said.

Brown refused to comment on any plans he may have for the city to fund moving the statue to either of its potential destinations. However, The U of M has already secured a donor who came forth with the $50,000 necessary to move the 5,000-pound statue and base.

Tony Poteet, Assistant Vice President of Campus Planning and Development, said that he wants to place the stat-ue between the U of M’s the-ater and music buildings near

Central Avenue. “Thousands can see it driv-

ing down Central, any time of the day,” Ranta said. “It would be tucked away at the zoo and people would be paying to see it.”

In addition to commuting onlookers, Lisa Abitz, assistant director of the Art Museum of The University of Memphis, said “thousands of people visit the museum each year.”

Guided tours of the muse-um increased more than 300 percent in 2010-2011 compared to the previous year, according to museum attendance records.

“Ninety-nine percent of these tours are children,” Abitz said. “Students study Egypt and Africa in the sixth grade, and they come to see our collections.”

Additionally, Housing and Community Development Director Robert Lipscomb had no comment as to any plan the city had to maintain the statue if it went somewhere other than The University.

The Housing and Development Committee will hold a hearing on the matter on Oct. 18.

Women’s Soccer

The great John Wooden once said, “It’s not important how you start the game, but how you finish it.”

Nowhere was this more apparent than on Friday night, when the No. 6 University of Memphis women’s soccer team found its undefeated season in jeopardy.

Entering Friday’s game agains t Southern Methodist, the Lady Tigers had not trailed all season.

But that quickly changed early in the match.

The Mustangs struck first in the 25th minute when Olivia Elliot took the ball and slammed it past senior goal-keeper Elise Kuhar-Pitters for a 1-0 lead. It was the first time this season the Lady Tigers allowed a first half goal.

The Mustangs put more pressure on the Lady Tigers’ undefeated season in the 38th minute when Briana Gaines scored to give the Mustangs a commanding 2-0 lead at the half.

“(Head coach Brooks

Monaghan) told us the num-ber one thing we had to have was belief in ourselves and our teammates,” said junior defender Christie Kline. “He said we have to play our style and dictate the game, which is what they did in the first half.”

The Lady Tigers must have taken coach Monaghan’s

words to heart, as they came out firing in the second half.

In a matter of minutes the Lady Tigers managed to score three goals to take the lead.

Memphis cut the lead to one goal in the 70th minute when senior forward Melissa Smith found sophomore midfielder-forward Christabel Oduro on the right side of the goal. Oduro beat the goalkeeper and netted her team-leading 6th goal of the season.

Senior defender Lizzy Simonin gave the Lady Tigers a 3-2 lead in the 76th minute on

a free kick 20 yards away from the goal. The lead was short lived, however, as SMU tied the game 3-3 in the 88th minute on a goal by Amelia Ambrose.

The game went into double overtime, but neither team capitalized in the extra min-utes, and the match ended in a 3-3 tie.

“We’re not going to give up no mat-ter what the score is,” Oduro said. “We told ourselves this isn’t the day we are going to lose.”

Against Tulsa last weekend, the Lady Tigers won 4-0.

Freshman mid-fielder-forward Natalia Gomez-Junco, who was named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week on Monday, scored three goals in the contest.

“It’s not surprising to see her do that,” Monaghan said. “If you give her the opportu-nity, she is going to score. She still has a lot of room to grow, but what she has brought this early in her career has been great.”

The Lady Tigers (13-0-1) face the University of Texas-El Paso on Friday at 7 p.m.

Tigers fall to Rice on the road 28-6

By Adam DouglasAfter beginning the half

with 107 yards of total offense, compared to their opponent’s 245 yards, The University of Memphis Tigers football team (1-5, 0-2 in Conference USA) ended the game on somewhat a positive note – they moved the ball to the tune of 307 yards.

But, they were scoreless in the process.

Rice University (2-3, 1-1 in C-USA) finished the game with just 350 total yards of offense, but still managed to defeat the Tigers 28-6 in Houston.

“First and foremost, I take my hat off to Coach (David) Bailiff and his team,” said Memphis head coach Larry Porter. “All in all, we didn’t play a balanced game in terms of offense, defense and special teams. We have to have more from every phase of

our team.” Two Tiger quarterbacks led

the Memphis attack, with fresh-man Taylor Reed going 15 of 30 in passing for 100 yards, and sophomore transfer Andy Summerlin, who entered the game for Reed at the end of the third quarter, finished the game and completed 9 of 13 passes for 137 yards and no touchdown. Though the offense was at one point 0-7 in third down conver-sions during the game, Porter said that the offense will be dif-ferent once some subtle changes come about.

“The thing that we’ve got to do is glue our offensive line together,” he said at his weekly press luncheon. “We’ve been very inconsistent with injuries,

and it showed on Saturday. You have to start there because when you can’t run and you can’t throw, it doesn’t matter who your quarterback is.”

The Tigers are still having problems on offense, but the defense is picking up the slack by creating turnovers. The Tigers forced three Rice turnovers, one of which was senior linebacker Akeem Davis’ third intercep-tion in three games. But it went to spoils as the offense man-aged just two field goals on the turnovers.

“On a day in which you get three turnovers, that certainly gives you a good opportunity of putting points on the board and also victory,” Porter said. “Obviously offensively, we

couldn’t get anything estab-lished throughout the day, which put us in a bad position.”

Senior wide receiver Tannar Rehrer continued to be reliable target in the game, finishing with a career-high 11 receptions for 89 yards, tying him with Duke Calhoun for third-most recep-tions in school history.

Freshman wide receiver Kevin Wright also finished with a career high in receiving yards with four catches for 82 yards. But despite their efforts, the offense just couldn’t find their stride.

“We didn’t have any rhythm or continuity at first,’’ Rehrer said. “I don’t know why. We’ve got to be consistent. It can’t be one week here, one week there.”

University of Memphis sophomores Will Barton, Tarik Black and Joe Jackson were named to 2011-12 preseason All-Conference USA teams, as announced by the league office on Monday. Barton was a preseason All-C-USA first team pick, while Black and Jackson were second team selections.

Last season, Barton led the Tigers in scoring with 12.3 pints per game and was sec-ond on the team in rebound-ing with 4.9 per game. The 6-foot-6 guard also handed out 99 assists and was sec-ond on the squad in steals with 54. He shot 42.8 per-cent from the floor and 69.9 percent from the free throw line. The Baltimore, Md., native was named to the All-Conference USA third team and the Conference USA All-Freshman Team in 2010-11.

Black, who joined Barton on the Conference USA All-Freshman Team last year,

averaged 9.1 and 5 rebounds in his first collegiate season. The Memphis native was the Tigers’ third-leading scorer and top rebounder. The 6-foot-8 forward also posted 56 blocked shots and 27 steals, while shooting 52.8 percent from the floor. A co-captain for the Tigers in 2010-11, Black finished the year ranked among C-USA freshmen lead-ers in scoring (7th), rebound-ing (4th), field goal percentage (6th) and blocked shots (1st).

Last season, Jackson was the Tigers’ second-lead-ing scorer at 9.9 points per game, and was also second on the team with 109 assists. The 6-foot guard collected 35 steals, shot 43.1 percent from the field and hit 72.6 percent of his free throws. The Memphis native saved his best play for the 2011 postsea-son, averaging 16.5 points and 3 assists in three Conference USA Tournament games and one NCAA Tournament con-test. For his outstanding play, Jackson was named the C-USA Tournament MVP.Sophomores Tarik Black, left, and Joe Jackson, middle, were named to the Conference USA
