Profile: An Afternoon With The President

Brinson Discusses Job, Goals, Interests If you ever need to see Dr. Brinson, President

of Southern Arkansas University, don't be apprehensive. You' ll find a stately, gracious man who will welcome you into hi s office.

One afternoon I chose to meet the man, Brinson. With a warm he llo he prese nted me with a chair and then planted himself into his chair, totally re laxed. His office isn't exactly what one might e xpect. Though there is the typical president's desk and chair , board table and bookshelves, that was only the president's part of the room; Brinso n's part could be seen in the plants lining the windows, his children's pictures displayed, carpet and drapery swatches and a jar of candy on the table and small ornaments across the top of the bookshelves.

Dr. Brinson is full of ideas for the betterment of SAU. First of all, he said, " I'd like to maintain or increase enrollment." This has been a problem as the number of high school graduates in this area has been declining, but Brinson would like to stabilize enrollment between 2000 and 2500. He also wants to continue hiring "outstanding, well­qualified" faculty. " I think we've been able to do that. I'd like to raise the percentage of people who have doctorates," Brinson stated. He would aJso like to get the alumni association more active. Another objective is to raise money for bells for

the water tower, but a program has not yet been agreed upon.

Dr. Brinson has already reorgan ized SAU into the four schools headed by deans. Acco rding to Brinson, this was done to help deal with students and get decision-making closer to the students.. " It's given us a new dimension at SAU," he said.

He also has been involved in beautifyi ng the campus. With the addition of trees and shrubbery, Brinson feels " the campus looks a lot better now." He has tried to give the cafeteria a ne ,' look to "make it a little more pleasant p lace to be." The cafeteria now has a new paint job and wallpaper.

The thing that gives Dr. Brinson the most pleasure in life is "working with people." A typical day includes a couple of ho urs in meetings with administrators, staff and faculty and about an hour visiting with students such as re porters or those in need of advice.

Another hour of Brinson's time is spent on the phone with people on campus, in Magnolia and all over the state. Three more hours are spent reading reports and "just shuffling papers and staying up with office work." The rest of his time is spent out on campus doing things he needs o get done or just exchanging a joke with a studeN ..

There is another side to the president of SAL though. Brinson is a man who also enjoys his leisure time. "I like to garden and enjoys wate sports, especially water skiing. I also enjoy \ ng and playing tennis occasionally," he said of himself.

Not only does he enjoy his home, but aJso his family. He is the father of three children, ages 23 21 and 19. "Although none of them are here now, when they are we have a lot of fun. I thi ' Jean and I have a good family, and I conside~ myself a family man," Brinson said.

With all this, one would think Brinson ne\er has a spare minute, but even on top of th is he represented his country as one of the 16 college and state university presidents chosen to visit ne Republic of China on a cultural, educational and goodwill exchange.

Thus Brinson can be seen in almost e vel) aspec. of life: as husband and father , head of a school, top figure in a community and a representati\e o; the United States.

0 . ays Degrees, Endorses an

• ........ J ..., . . ··,"-""· .................. The Board of SAU is a very essent ial and importan

part of the management of our university. Whether students realize it or not, almost anything that needs change or improvement must be approved by the board.

The board decides the budget and approves expenditures, the number of faculty posit ions and an construction projects or naming of buildings. Of course, on big projects, such as the construction of a building, approval must also be obtained from the State Board o Education.

Examples of board projects can be seen in the or approved. Between 1961 and 1973, student enrol lmen increased from 1,262 to 1,896 and the facul ty increased from 64 to 151. College lands doubled. The Physical Education building, Wilson Hall, Wharton Nursing building, Magale library, Graham Annex, Gree ne, TaJle • Talbot and Harrod Halls and the College Center ha e all been added during that time.

The five board members are chosen by the governor (one every year) and then approved by the state sena e. The administration has the responsibility of br inging changes to the attention of the board. It also has the responsibility of carrying out plans as they are set up b the board.

The board meets anywhere from four to 12 times a year, according to the amount of business. By the ,. o done this year and years past we see the board acti e l working for the betterment of SAU.

1. As president, Harold Brinson makes recommendat ions to the approval. 2. Reta Dean fi lls the position of secretary. 3. Emmie J. newest member, replaces Jo hn H. Wilson. 4.

The Riders entered the season aiming for the AIC championship. With Jamie Bridges, Ken Winwright, Greg Alexander, Larry Gore, Marcus McDonald, George Golden, and Willie Pierce all returning, it seemed like the Riders has a real chance.

The Riders opened the season on the right track by scoring impressive victories over Dallas Baptist, East Texas State University, and Stephen F. Austin . After stopping three out-of-state opponents in stride, the Mules were confident open their conference opener with defending

IC c hampions Henderson State. The Riders

Austin, the Riders entered the Dallas Baptist Classic as defending champions. The Mules finished the tournament in fourth place.

Continuing to play with a bit of inconsistency, the mules lost to UCA and defeated Arkansas college in overtime. They dropped the next three games, putting their confere nce record at 3-7. But from here the Riders began to do much better, ending the season by defeating nationally ranked OBU.
