CHANCELLOR
University of Missouri – Columbia
Richard Wallace was appointed chancellor at the
University of Missouri-Columbia in November 1997
after serving as interim chancellor since July 1996.
His appointment marks a return to the campus where
Wallace began his administrative career more than
30 years ago. Before being named interim chancellor,
Wallace served as vice president for academic
affairs of the University of Missouri System for
the last seven years.
After working as an instructor and assistant
professor of economics at Florida State University
from 1961 to 1966, Wallace was hired as an assistant
professor of economics and community health and
medical practice at MU. The position soon led to a
progression of increasing responsibility that included
academic promotion to associate professor and
professor. Wallace's research and teaching interests
are related principally to public utility regulation
and health economics. His research has been
published in a variety of academic journals and
publications, and he chaired the planning committee
for a national symposium on public utility regulation
from 1979-1996.
While climbing the academic ladder, Wallace
also proved himself an able administrator. From
1967-70, he served as chair of MU's economics
department. Two years later he became director of the
MU Business and Public Administration Research
Center, serving concurrently as assistant dean for
research in the MU College of Administration and
Public Affairs until 1974.
The following three years were spent as associate
dean of the MU Graduate School where Wallace was
responsible for areas including academic computing,
graduate fellowship programs and the Graduate
School's budget. In 1978, Wallace became interim
dean of the Graduate School, a position he held
until 1979 when he returned to the role of associate
dean, becoming responsible for the MU Office of
Research until 1982.
As interim dean of the MU College of Arts and
Science from 1982 to 1983, Wallace developed a
computer-based information system and academic
plan for the college. In 1983 he became associate
provost, a position he held for two years in which
he was a key player in University planning and
program review.
Wallace began working with the UM System
administration in 1976, when, as executive officer of
the Student Information System, he assisted the UM
System president in solving problems related to the
operation of a computer-based student information
system. In 1983, Wallace spent a year as staff
associate for long-range planning to the UM System
Board of Curators.
For six months in 1984 and again for three
months in 1989, Wallace served as acting UM System
vice president for academic affairs. From 1985 to
1989 he was associate vice president and was named
to the post of vice president for academic affairs in
March 1989, where he has been responsible for UM
policies in regard to academic programs, personnel
and planning as well as for the promotion of quality
in research and scholarship.
Wallace earned a bachelor's degree in journalism
from Northwestern University in 1958 and a doctorate
in economics from Vanderbilt University in 1965.
The recipient of numerous awards and honors, he
received a 1990 Faculty Service Award from the
National Continuing Education Association and
a 1995 J. Rhoads Foster Award for outstanding
contributions to the public utility regulatory process.
He was honored as Communicator of the Year in
June 1997 by the Mid-Missouri Chapter of the Public
Relations Society of America and was inducted
into Northwestern University's Medill School of
Journalism Hall of Achievement in March 1998.
Wallace has served on many University, community and national boards and councils. He is
MU's representative to the Association of American
Universities and is a member of the Board of
Directors of the Big 12 Conference. He also serves
on the board of directors for First National Bank
and Trust Company.
He and his wife Patricia have two daughters,
Sandra Wallace and Lisa Evans, and two grandchildren,
Bradley and Brittany Evans.

T hi s I s Mi s s ouri
More than 160 years ago, the University of MissouriColumbia was founded as the first public university west
of the Mississippi River – the first public university in
Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase territory.
The 1,351-acre campus is Missouri’s flagship
university: A land-grant institution emphasizing
service to Missourians and the state’s major public
research university. Currently more than 250 degree
programs, including online degrees and an expanded
evening program, are offered through 20 colleges
and schools.
The MU family is a community of 10,000 faculty
and staff members; 200,000 alumni worldwide;
countless friends who support the University; and
more than 23,000 students from every county in
Missouri, every state in the nation and more than
100 countries.
MU is committed to providing an exemplary
undergraduate education and to continuing to build on
the strengths of research, graduate and professional
programs.

E xc e lle nt Fac ul t y
MU’s worldwide reputation rests on the quality of
our faculty and their ability to carry out our mission
of teaching, research and service. They make the
difference between a good university and a great
university.
Our faculty not only read the books; they write the
books. At a research university like MU, world-class
faculty work at the cutting edge, conducting research
that improves our quality of life.
Q u ali t y o f L i f e
Today MU faculty are doing groundbreaking research
in the life sciences to improve human health, food
and the environment. MU is building a $60 million
Life Sciences Center that will house 350 faculty,
staff and students. MU also is preparing to become a
Comprehensive Cancer Center, a prestigious designation
given by the National Cancer Institute. Once in place,
the center would enable MU to bring improved cancer
research, prevention and treatment to Missourians.

A L e arnin g C ommunit y
Colleges have long overlooked the benefit of mixing
residential life with academics. MU’s learning
communities, which are models for other institutions
around the nation, bring students together who have
similar interests, often enroll them in the same classes;
and provide learning opportunities only found outside
the lecture hall.
For fall 2001, MU anticipates 70 percent, or about
3,600 of the 5,200 students living in residence halls,

to choose from 90 Freshman Interest Groups, 25
Sponsored Learning Communities and three Residential
Colleges. MU also has added Transfer Interest Groups
for transfer students.
Learning communities make MU’s big campus
smaller and more intimate. Examples include Agricultural
Residence, French House, Civic Leadership and
Women in Engineering. So far the communities are
generating impressive results: Higher grades and higher
retention and graduation rates; a stronger foundation
for freshmen; and increased faculty involvement
with students.
We ll - Rounde d Educ at ion
MU’s General Education Program is designed to
provide every graduate, regardless of major, with
necessary skills in writing, math, oral communication
and computer literacy and to ensure a broad background
in the liberal arts and sciences. Recognized as a model
for undergraduate education at major public research
universities, Mizzou is one of only 11 universities,
and the only one in the Big 12, to be honored with
the Theodore M. Hesburgh Award. Faculty across
campus are deeply involved in the General Education
Program, fine-tuning it and working across academic
disciplines to deliver a unique educational experience
to MU students.
Mizzou’s strong research programs and professional
schools add another dimension to general education.
They take the program beyond what liberal arts colleges
are able to offer undergraduates.
Memorial Union proudly waves Old Glory above
Lowry Mall.
S e r vic e L e arning
Nearly 10 percent of MU undergraduates, or about 2,000,
are integrating the community into their education each
year. The Office of Service Learning makes service an
integral part of students’ academic experience. This
year with the help of 150 community service partners,
MU will offer more than 70 service-learning courses
through seven different colleges and schools.
Students who enroll in service-learning courses
spend an average of four hours a week meeting the
public’s social needs by teaching English as a second
language, working in government service, assisting
the elderly, and more.
Unde r graduat e s in Re s e ar c h
Undergraduates in majors ranging from history to
biological sciences are involved in research in informal
settings and in numerous programs supported by
the campus and such organizations as the National
Science Foundation.
MU is one of the top public research universities
in the country recognized for the number and variety of
opportunities it offers undergraduates to participate with
faculty in research. Many programs target students of
color and first-generation college students.

The Writ in g Unive r s i t y
MU is truly The Writing University. The University is
home to the world’s first and finest School of Journalism
and has received national attention for incorporating
writing across the undergraduate curriculum.
The new Center for the Literary Arts at MU
establishes a unique interdisciplinary approach to the
art of writing. The only center of its kind in the country,
CLA joins MU’s nationally renowned programs
in creative writing and journalism with innovative
programs in theatre, art, communication, education
and the Campus Writing Program. The center provides
students with intensive training in the writing of fiction,
nonfiction, poetry, play writing, screen writing and
literary translation.
The Missouri Playwright’s Workshop offers student
playwrights public readings of their scripts, which is a
stepping stone to full production on one of MU’s stages.
The result of this nurturing is a complete fall season of
innovative original plays by students.
The Columns give off their glow at night.
Study Abroad
More MU students than ever are “internationalizing”
their education by studying abroad. Not only do
these students learn new ways of thinking about and
participating in an increasingly global society, they bring
that international perspective back to campus where it
permeates the classrooms, the residence halls and every
aspect of the MU learning experience.
With more than 80 programs in 35 countries,
participation in the program has more than tripled
in the last 10 years.
MU B ot anic G ar de n
MU’s beautiful campus grounds have earned the
University an accreditation as a botanic garden. The
campus no longer just maintains the existing landscape.
MU is formally adopting an educational segment to
the activities of its Landscape Services department. In
addition to its self-guided tree trail, perennial display
gardens, campus plant identification signs and butterfly
garden, MU is planning a campus arboretum, rose
garden, nature center and children’s garden.

Honor s C olle ge
Established in 1964 and one of the oldest in the country,
the MU Honors College provides the ideal environment
for high-achieving students. The campus-wide program
offers small seminar-type courses and close interaction
with professors. Students are automatically eligible
with an ACT score of at least 29 and a class rank in
the top 10 percent.
G e ne r o s i t y o f A lumni
an d Frie n d s
The generosity of alumni and friends has had a huge
impact on the quality of University programs and
facilities. They have made it possible for the University
to be nationally competitive – which translates into better
service for students and the state of Missouri.
C amp u s Value s
MU has four values that faculty, staff and students
integrate into their campus lives and work: respect,
responsibility, discovery and excellence.

+('*,+(*#,%Construction of The Sports Park at MU concept
continues as Missouri Athletics quickly is amassing
what can be considered some of the finest athletic
training facilities in the nation.
Director of Athletics Michael Alden has continued
the momentum toward athletic facility improvements
that began in 1995. Most recently completed on the
grounds of the Sports Park at MU include new football
practice fields, new iron fencing and a brick wall
along Stadium Boulevard that encloses the practice
fields and the purchase of over a quarter of a million
dollars of new weight room equipment for the Yeckel
Training Center.
Several other projects to be completed or undertaken
during the 2001-2002 campaign includes:
• New football practice fields on fields
three and four.
• A pedestrian overpass crossing
Providence Road to Memorial Stadium.
• Lights for Walton Stadium that
allow for night soccer games and track meets.
• A new tennis center to be the
home of Missouri Tennis.

• A new state-of-the-art
basketball arena.
budget propelled a 3,000-square foot addition to the
Tigers’ weight-training facilities.
Those two projects completed the West and Central
Grounds of the Sports Park. Last summer, the football
practice fields directly behind the Taylor/Brookfield
building were renovated and a brick wall was constructed
along the north end of the practice fields along Stadium
Boulevard.
In 1998, four major projects were completed:
The last item will prove to be the crown jewel of
the Sports Park concept. Scheduled to open in time
for the 2004-05 season, the new arena will be located
roughly 200 yards south of the Hearnes Center, and
will feature approximately 16,000 seats, in addition
to as many as 32 private suites and sufficient club
seating areas. The $75 million facility was kick started
by a generous $25 million gift from an anonymous
donor, and will be supplemented by $35 million in
bond appropriations from the State of Missouri, with
the balance to be paid by MU Athletic fundraising
efforts.
Missouri has a new baseball stadium, thanks to
the generosity of Ralph and Debbie Taylor and Michael
Haverty which was completed in February, 2000. A
gift from Jane Yeckel and a $150,000 profit turned by
the department’s management of its Insight.com Bowl
• the Audrey J. Walton Track-Soccer Field-Stadium
and adjacent University Field (softball).
• the Daniel J. Devine Pavilion.
• the Dr. Glenn L. McElroy M.D. Sports Medicine
Center.
• the Shelden Academic Resource Center.
,

%>HHDJG>
+('*,+(*#,%The Devine Pavilion, immediately south of the
Taylor/Brookfield Buildings, provides Tiger athletes
with an indoor practice facility, featuring a 90-yard
artificial turf field, two permanent batting cages, and
two removable batting cages.
The McElroy Sports Medicine Center and the
Shelden Academic Resource Center are new wings
to the north and south ends, respectively, of the
Taylor/Brookfield Complex. The project also renovated
and expanded the athletic dining hall, dressing rooms
and coaches offices.
In 1997, a $12 million renovation of Memorial
Stadium, continuing a series of projects that were
begun in the late 1980s, was completed. The last phase
replaced the concourse beneath the grandstands, built
new concession stands, restrooms, ticket windows and
entry gates, upgraded parking lots and further defined
the stadium’s exterior boundaries.
Dedicated at the Big 12 Conference Track and
Field Championships in May ‘98 was 2,500-seat Walton
Stadium. It serves the track and soccer teams. The
project was made possible by Mrs. Walton’s $1 million
donation in 1996. Sitting on the west side of the track,
the stadium serves track/soccer on one side, and softball
on the other. The softball field was turned to place
home plate in the northwest corner, meaning that it
backs up to the track/soccer venue. That unique design
allows for all service facilities to get double duty.
For example, the press box faces both directions, and
the entry plaza services both facilities, meaning that
restrooms, concessions stands and ticket booths did not
need to be duplicated.
Completed in 2000 was a sterling new press box
at Memorial Stadium. The new goal line-to-goal line
facility includes 32 private suites, expanded club seating,
and working media facilities that more than doubled the
old capacity. So it’s not hard to see that with Mizzou’s
move to the Big 12 Conference, facility improvements
became a top priority for the Athletic Department. That
scenario began in 1996 as construction was completed
on the outdoor track/soccer complex and permanent
lights were installed above Faurot Field.
In 1994, MU officials developed a master facilities
plan for MU. That plan examined all of MU’s athletic
facilities to give the athletic department a blueprint to
follow. The Sports Park concept ties all of the Tiger
athletic facilities that lie south of Stadium Boulevard
into an attractive setting that will serve as the athletic
signature of the campus.
Dan Devine began the process with the first
expansion of the Taylor/Brookfield buildings in 1993.
The next major step was a $2.7 million project in 1995
Sports Park at the University of Missouri.
that returned Faurot Field to natural grass, and made
considerable changes to improve the accessibility of
the stadium that was built in 1926, to address the
stadium’s aesthetics, and to aid the comfort of all MU
fans. The 10-year old Omniturf carpet was removed
in December, 1994, and work culminated with the
installation of Kentucky blue grass in mid-June 1995.
Meanwhile, other crews widened many of the stadium’s
entrance tunnels and constructed wheelchair areas in
the east and west stands.
Implementation of the master plan will only
continue the thrust toward improving MU’s facilities
given new impetus by Devine. Shortly after his arrival
in 1992, he announced that a $250,000 challenge gift
from Mrs. Jane Yeckel, in memory of her late husband
Phil, had kicked off a campaign to build a new strength
and conditioning facility for the Tigers. By spring, 1993,
construction had begun and the Tigers had the benefit
of working out in the new 10,000-square foot weight
room when they reported for camp, in August 1993.
Also included in the expansion were six team meeting
rooms, one of which is a theater-style auditorium
that seats 136 persons and includes a state-of-the
art video system.
Also constructed was an east wall — the focal
point of the new building — which pulls together three
previously existing buildings into a single structure.
Two lobby areas afford the athletic department space
for displays of MU memorabilia.

In its 29-year history as the home of the Tigers, the Hearnes Center has
been the site of some of Missouri’s greatest basketball moments. Since
the Tigers posted a 21-6 record and received a bid to the NIT in Hearnes’
opening year, Missouri has won eight conference championships,
and MU’s homecourt advantage has been a big part of that success.
The Tigers’ record in the arena is 367-64, including a 197-20 mark
versus non-conference teams.
The complex, officially named the Warren E. Hearnes Multipurpose
Building, was dedicated by Governor Hearnes during summer
commencement ceremonies, Aug. 4, 1972. Coach Norm Stewart’s
Tigers followed with an 87-75 triumph over Ohio University on Nov.
25, 1972, in the first game staged in the impressive facility. The
$11 million structure’s primary feature is a spacious arena, with a
seating capacity of 13,545 for basketball. The single-game attendance
record was set on Jan. 22, 2000, when 14,098 flipped the turnstiles
to see MU hand rival Kansas an 81-59 beating. Six of MU’s top-10
alltime crowds at Hearnes have come in Quin Snyder’s first two
seasons at the helm.
For the 1996-97 season, a brand-new Robbins portable hardwood
floor replaced a similar model that was installed prior to the 1980-81
season, which, in turn, replaced the building’s original Tartan surface.
The court was revamped with a black apron and black foul lanes prior
to the 1999-2000 season, and was stripped, resurfaced and repainted
again prior to the 2001-02 campaign.
Visitors to Hearnes for the current season will notice several
upgrades and changes to the facility. Most notable are the new bleachers
installed behind the West basket, where MU students will now be
seated, from the floor all the way to the upper deck. Another major
change includes switching of team benches, so that the Tigers now
prowl on the East half of the North sideline. Additionally, much
painting was done during the summer to spruce up the look of the
bowl, with black, gold and white adorning most every nook and cranny
of the formerly grey interior.
Additionally, the 2001-02 season will mark the first year of
Tiger Courtside Seating, a special area where donors and special
guests will be seated on the South sideline. They will displace most
of the courtside seating for media members, but new sections to
accomodate media have been constructed at midcourt in sections
A16, B16 and C16.
The building, which measures 546 by 352 feet and includes more
than 324,000 square feet of floor space, also houses other facilities.
A 220-yard, eight-lane indoor track occupies the south end of the
facility. A regulation-size practice basketball court is located on the
building’s fourth level, along with wrestling and gymnastics practice
gymnasiums. The basketball arena and fieldhouse are separated by a
section containing Missouri’s intercollegiate athletic offices and the
building administration office. There are also offices for the Conference
and Short Courses Department of the University’s Extension Division
and the Law Enforcement Training Institute. Numerous meeting
rooms seating from 50-225 persons are available for rent to groups
holding conventions or meetings.
In July of 2000, Hearnes Center operations staff was welcomed
into the athletic department family, and for the first time, all Hearnes
functions now fall under the athletic department’s umbrella.
In 1994, new dressing rooms and a post-game interview room were
constructed for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams, and the
working press room was redecorated. Improvements for the 2000-01
season included renovations to the media workroom and interview
room, which improved both the functionality and aesthetics of the
space. Plans call for a brand new, $75 million basketball arena to be
built 200 yards south of Hearnes in time for the 2004-05 season. When
that building is operational, Hearnes will still be very much utilized
by Tiger Athletics, as well as the University. MU’s Olympic sports
such as volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling and indoor track will still
train and compete at Hearnes, while the building will continue to host
a myriad of convention and trade shows, concerts and other cultural
activities for the mid-Missouri area.
Hearnes Center was designed by the architectural firm of Sverdrup
& Parcel and Associates of St. Louis. Constructed on a natural
depression, much of the building is below ground level.

In the spring of 1986, the University of Missouri Athletic
Department restructured its academic counseling
unit into what is known as the Total Person Program.
The program focuses on the total development of
the student-athlete and has been so successful that
other universities have set up similar programs using
Mizzou as a model.
The establishment of the Total Person Program
demonstrates a commitment to develop the studentathlete not only physically and intellectually, but
socially and emotionally as well. Mizzou cares about
the pressures and special needs of its student-athletes,
and the Total Person Program is there to provide
assistance and support.
The Total Person Program is divided into several
components: academic counseling and assistance,
academic progress monitoring, substance abuse
and psychological counseling and an area called
“Life Skills.”
The academic counseling and assistance division
offers help with academic program development as
well as tutorial assistance, study skills development
and career identification planning. This division also
carefully assesses the academic potential of incoming
freshmen in order to provide them with the greatest
opportunity for academic success.
To enrich their first semester at the University, the
Total Person Program teaches a series of study skills
improvement classes throughout the fall semester. The
classes focus on time management skills, textbook
reading, course organization, notetaking, instructor
relations, writing papers, memory and life skills.
Freshmen attend study halls with Total Person Program
staff serving as resources to advise student-athletes
with questions or study skills issues.
In the Fall 2000 semester, 200 Tigers had gradepoint averages of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or better and
25 had perfect 4.0s. On the Dean’s List were 126
Tigers. The overall fall semester grade point average
of 2.79 was the highest in recorded history during
the fall at MU.
In the Winter 2001 semester, 170 Tigers had GPAs
of 3.0 or better and 26 had 4.0s. The overall studentathlete grade-point average was 2.785, only slightly down
from the previous years’ record of 2.875.
According to the 1999 NCAA report of graduation
rates among Division I schools, the University of
The Total Person Program staff.
Missouri ranked tops in the Big 12 Conference. The
report tracked scholarship athletes who entered school
as freshmen in 1992.
The academic progress monitoring division checks
on the student-athlete’s class, study hall and tutor
group attendance. Faculty members report grades
twice a semester to staff members. This allows the
student-athlete and the Total Person Program to spot
potential problems early and correct them.
Total Person Program Staff includes: Bryan
Maggard, assistant director of athletics for academic
services; Ed Stewart, assistant director of athletics for
administration; Dr. Judy Wells, learning facilitator; Jane
Russell, coordinator of freshman development; Julia
Parcell, counselor, Randall Kennedy, counselor; and
Donna Coleman, administrative assistant.
In addition, a compliance assistant coordinates
the supervision of the student-athlete’s eligibility and
certification under NCAA, Big 12 Conference and
University rules. This assistant compiles eligibility
reports to and for the academic counselors within the
Total Person Program.
The most significant difference between most
academic counseling units and MU’s Total Person
Program is the substance abuse and psychological
counseling services for a variety of concerns, including
mental and emotional problems, substance abuse
prevention, and premature interruption or termination
of an athletic career and subsequent transition. Dr. Niels
Beck has been the program’s counseling psychologist
for the past eight years.

A newer component is that of the Life Skills Program.
The program’s name is “Tigers for Life.”
Tigers for Life coordinates career planning, internships
and community service opportunities for the studentathletes.
The Total Person Program has a new home in the
south wing of the Taylor/Brookfield Training Complex.
The spacious Shelden Academic Resource Center includes
a 36 workstation computer room, 20 group and individual
tutor rooms, staff offices and meeting rooms, and a large
open study area. The Academic Center is open from 8 a.m.
- 11 p.m. The Student-Athlete Lounge, located in the north
wing, is also available for evening study, as well as a location
to snack, have meetings or just relax.
The Total Person Program staff views the studentathlete as a student first and foremost. The students on
athletic scholarships can be compared to any students
with special talents, who are awarded scholarship to
finance their education.

The mission of the University of Missouri Tigers for
Life/Life Skills program is to inspire student-athletes
to continue their pursuit of excellence when the crowd
stops cheering.
Extensive programming is provided to enhance
the overall development of student-athletes as students,
citizens and athletes. The five components of the
Life Skills program include: Career Development,
Community Outreach, Personal Development, Academic
Excellence, and Athletic Commitment.
The 2000-01 season saw an emergence of energy
and activity from the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). SAAC members participate in monthly
meetings with athletic department representatives
and serve as the communication link between MU’s
student-athletes and administration.
This group played an integral role in the creation
of a new program known as Athletes Supporting
Athletes. Through this initiative, record numbers of
student-athletes attended the competitions of fellow
Tigers, sending a message of pride and unity across the
department. SAAC members and teammates exhibited
such team unity in the planning and implementation
of a canned food drive that benefitted the Central
Missouri Food Bank. Almost 2,500 pounds of food
were collected during the holiday season.
Once again, Tigers prowled the Columbia community, as all 20 teams participated in individual
team outreach projects that impacted a variety of
youth groups, hospitals, schools and other charitable
organizations.
These outstanding efforts were recognized
nationally as the Pursuit of Excellence Electronic
Mentoring program, a partnership with Columbia Public
Schools, was presented at the annual NCAA Champs
Life Skills Conference. Missouri’s outstanding Life
Skills program also received national exposure when
Director Ed Stewart appeared on CNN/SI Between the
Lines, with Nick Charles.
Career services are undoubtedly one of the most
critical areas in which student-athletes need development.
The 2000-01 year offered both summer and fulltime
job seekers the opportunity to showcase their talents in
front of more than 70 companies at the Tiger Career Fair.
Companies in attendance included State Farm, Edward
Jones and Sun Microsystems, to name just a few.
While the previous year proved to be successful,
the future of Tigers For Life programming looks
even brighter. A multi-year plan has been devised to
ensure a continued commitment to the development of
the complete student-athlete and athletic department
staff. This plan includes future planning for resources
necessary to meet goals and objectives and the tools in
which to measure program success.
Kareem Rush visits a friend at University Hospital.
Increased efforts with regards to personal
development of student-athletes and staff will include
information in the following areas: (1) Diversity
Training, (2) Stress Management, (3) Nutrition and (4)
Drug and Alcohol Awareness.
Through the continued efforts and support of Tiger
student-athletes, coaches and administration, Life
Skills will continue to be a focal part of the Missouri
Athletic Department.

The mission of the Missouri Tiger Sports Medicine
Staff is to provide the best possible health care for all
University of Missouri student-athletes while promoting
an atmosphere conducive to the education of student
athletic trainers. The Dr. Glenn L. McElroy, M.D. Sports
Medicine Center, the cornerstone of four intercollegiate
athletic health care facilities at Mizzou, enables the
sports medicine team to provide the finest health care
in the country.
The spacious 9,000 square foot center, located
adjacent to the Yeckel Training Center in the MU
Sports Park, features state-of-the-art treatment and
rehabilitation equipment.
Included in the “MAC”: a Swim-Ex 7,000 therapeutic
Exercise/Rehabilitation Pool, 20 custom made treatment
tables with high tech treatment modalities, 15 custom
made taping stations, conference and office space for
the nine certified athletic trainers and 35 undergraduate
student athletic trainers, physician offices/examination
rooms.
In addition, the sports medicine center contains a
large therapeutic exercise area featuring stair-steppers for
conditioning, closed kinetic chain rehabilitation, exercise
cycles, upper body ergometers and treadmills.
The McElroy Sports Medicine Center is open daily
and is accessible to all Missouri student-athletes.
The Hearnes Center, Walton Stadium and Memorial
Stadium athletic training facilities serve as satellite
locations and are utilized seasonally or on an as-needed
basis. Each facility is unique but contains equipment and
supplies needed to be self-sufficient, allowing the athletic
health care staff to continue excellent care. The Memorial
Stadium athletic training room contains x-ray, enabling the
visiting or Tiger football medical staff to make quick and
accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.
Content to serve in a “behind the scenes” role,
the Tiger Sports Medicine team is truly an integral
part of the success of the Missouri intercollegiate
athletic program.

Strength Coach Jeff Watkinson and forward Travon Bryant, showing the fruits of their off-season labor.
The collegiate basketball season lasts from October
until April, but the strength and conditioning program
at the University of Missouri runs year-round, under the
guidance of first-year strength and conditioning coach
Jeff Watkinson. The program is designed to develop
and enhance each student-athlete’s performance through
strength, flexibility, conditioning and nutrition. Each year,
the Tigers are getting bigger, stronger and faster.
During the off-season, each Tiger receives a
conditioning book, which outlines an individually
position-specific training program. At the beginning of the
school year, the athletes work on their anaerobic condition
and perform position-specific running.
Each Tiger follows a summer workout regimen,
tailored to his own special needs. Generally, each
player works out four times per week, for a total of five
hours. They condition three days per week, and work
on plyometrics, which work to bridge the gap between
strength and speed, two days a week.
When school begins, each athlete is run through a
battery of tests. During that time, both strengths and
weaknesses are assessed. Watkinson then sets up a
program which is designed to build on each athlete’s
strengths and diminish his weaknesses.
Once pre-season practice begins, the squad lifts
weights two to three times a week in intense 20-minute
workouts designed to maintain strength, while preventing
injuries; thus allowing them to play a physical style.
Under the guidance of Watkinson, the Tigers are
strengthened as the season goes on, peaking the studentathletes at the important stage of the season. A brand-new
weight room facility in the Hearnes Center opened for the
1999-2000 season, and it gives the Tigers all the space
they need to get the job done.
A new area of emphasis for Tiger Basketball revolves
around nutrition, which goes to complement each studentathlete’s conditioning and strength efforts. Watkinson
advises the program, and helps each player determine his
goals, whether it involves gaining body mass, losing body
fat or maintaining weight. Each player then receives a
personalized eating plan, based on foods he likes.

TA X DEDUC T IONS
All contributions to the Tiger Scholarship Fund are credited at
full value in University donor records. For income tax purposes,
a contribution that entitles the contributor to purchase tickets to
athletic events is 80 percent deductible as a charitable contribution.
Each donor should consult his/her tax advisor for applicability
of tax deductibility.
T IGER SC HOL AR SHIP FUND
At the University of Missouri, development is an underlying key
for academic and athletic success. Just as private support allows
academic units to establish chairs for deans, department heads and
professors, philanthropy benefiting Missouri athletics allows the
Tigers to provide a first-class, nationally competitive program. The
strong commitment from our student-athletes resulted in the highest
graduation rate in the Big 12 Conference this past year. Without the
tremendous support from our Tiger Scholarship Fund members, our
student-athletes would not have achieved this high level of success
in the classroom and on the competitive field.
University of Missouri ath letics are self-supporting. State
appropriations or tax dollars are rarely used to finance personnel,
facilities, and operations for the 20 men’s and women’s athletics
teams at the University of Missouri. This situation mirrors that of
most NCAA Division I athletics departments.
Individuals and/or businesses who contribute to such athletics
development structures as the Tiger Scholarship Fund have a desire to
help accomplish the enduring mission of the organization-to provide
a complete athletic and academic experience for its student-athletes.
Since 1996, the Tiger Scholarship Fund membership has increased
from 2,600 to over 4,000.
This year, the Tiger Scholarship Fund will provide financial
assistance for more than 500 young men and women student-athletes
to attend the University of Missouri.
The Tiger Scholarship Fund is the core of the annual giving
program, in which benefactors make yearly contributions and in
return receive such benefits as opportunities to purchase priority
seating at Tiger football and basketball games.
The Tiger Scholarship Fund also manages the Big Wheel
Program. This program includes the donation of automobiles
for use by Tiger coaches and administrators. This program aids
in recruiting and allows Missouri to hire the top coaches and
administrators in the country.

Although there are many universities with
a tiger mascot, the University of MissouriColumbia is the first to actively support a
comprehensive conser vation program for
critically endangered wild tigers, according to
the World Wildlife Fund. The Mizzou Tigers
for Tigers program is a pioneering effort to
raise awareness and support to ensure that
there will be wild tigers for as long as there
are Mizzou Tigers.

Mizzou Tiger Legacy
Slightly more than a century
ago, MU began participating
in the nation’s latest collegiate
sports craze. Called football,
the sport was a vigorous test
of strength and endurance —
virtues reflected in the University’s choice for the team
mascot, the brawny Bengal
tiger. At the time Mizzou chose
its mascot, as many as 100,000
tigers roamed the wilds of
Asia. Today, due largely to
poach ing, habitat loss and
prey de pletion, fewer than
7,000 tigers remain in the
wild. MU Chancellor Richard
Wallace officially announced
the Mizzou Tigers for Tigers
program on Feb. 11, 1999, at
the 160th celebration of MU’s
founding.
Program Goals
1. MU will raise awareness of the critically
endangered status of wild tigers and their
conser vation needs through education and
outreach. Author ities on tiger biology and
con ser va tion will visit the MU campus
regularly to provide important information
on the status of wild tigers.
Tiger conservation will become a regular
feature in MU publications and at University
events and venues.
A web site with the latest on Mizzou
Tigers for Tigers has become a per manent
repository for tiger information. Check out
www.missouri.edu/~tigers.
2. MU will develop research and educational
partnerships with organizations in tiger-range
countries that will involve MU’s faculty and
students in tiger conservation efforts.
MU students and faculty experts in
wildlife management, forestry, ecotourism
and community development will collaborate
with researchers from other univer sities
and orga nizations work ing in tiger-range
countries.
MU will sponsor visiting fellowships and
student internships in conservation biology
with tigers as a focus.
3. MU will support funding of tiger conservation efforts. Those interested in mak ing
a financial contribution to Mizzou Tigers
for Tigers can send checks made out to the
“University of Missouri” with a designation
for the Tiger Conservation Fund.
Other fund-raising initiatives are being
developed. For example, MU’s more than
230,000 faculty, staff, students and alumni
will be able to purchase specialty items, such
Tiger Habitat
Wild tigers only can be found in Asia. Historically, Bengal tigers lived in all regions of
India, from the snow-covered Himalayas at
elevations of 10,000 feet, to the tropical rain
forests of Cape Cormorin. Tigers may inhabit

Big Cats
Tigers are the largest living cat
species in the world. Siberian
tigers are generally the heaviest,
with males often weighing more
than 600 pounds, while male
Bengal tigers weigh 400 to 500
pounds and male Sumatran
tigers weigh only about 250
pounds.

conservation.
4. MU will provide leadership in the development of tiger conservation programs at other
institutions. MU plans to host a conference in
fall 2000 for others interested in developing
similar programs.
MU will encourage other universities
with tiger mascots and/or an interest in
wild life conser vation to develop similar
programs.
MU will partner with elementary and secondary schools to promote tiger conservation
and related issues.
Tiger Facts
Many popular collegiate mascots represent
an i mal species that are threatened with
extinction. This is especially true for the
critically endangered tiger, Panthera tigris, the
mascot of 68 colleges and universities.
Types of Tigers
The number of wild tigers has declined
by about 95 percent since the early 1900s. The
Bengal tiger, Mizzou’s mascot, is one of eight
recognized subspecies of tigers, three of which
have become extinct in the last 50 years. The
Bengal tiger has the largest population among
the remaining tiger subspecies.
Survival Needs
Just like humans, tigers need
three main things to survive:
food, water and shelter. Tigers
eat large mam ma li an prey.
They especial ly prefer deer,
antelope, bears, wild pigs, buffalo, wild cattle and porcupines.
Tigers also need shelter in
which to rest and stay cool.
Sometimes this involves climbing trees for cat naps. Tigers also need a lot
of water, especially after eating. Water often
is used for bathing — tigers are excellent
swimmers!
Growth Cycle
Tigers breed between February and May, just
after the rainy season in Asia. After breeding,
15-16 weeks will pass before the cubs are
born. Female tigers, called tigresses, typically
have two cubs, but can have as many as six.
Male tigers stay with a female for only a short
time after the cubs are born. When tiger cubs
are six months old, they are ready to join
their parents on hunts. They stay with their
mothers until age two. Tigers may live for
as long as 20 years.

Truman the Tiger at the Hearnes Center.
The nickname “Tigers,” given to Mizzou’s
athletic teams, traces its origin to the Civil
War period. At that time, plundering guerilla
bands habitually raid ed small towns, and
Columbia people constantly feared an attack.
Such organizations as temporary “home guards”
and vigilance companies banded together to
fight off any possible forays.
The town’s preparedness discouraged any
guerilla activity and the protecting organization
began to disband in 1854. However, it was
rumored that a guerilla band, led by the notorious
Bill Anderson, intended to sack the town. Quickly
organized was an armed guard of Columbia
citizens, who built a blockhouse and fortified
the old courthouse in the center of town. This
company was called “The Missouri Tigers.”
The marauders never came. The reputation
of the intrepid “Tigers” presumably traveled
abroad, and Anderson’s gang detoured around
Columbia.
Soon after Missouri’s first football team
was organized in 1890, the athletic committee
adopted the nick name “Tiger” in official
recognition of those Civil War defenders.
Their spirit is now embodied in the MU
mascot — “Truman the Tiger.” Named for
the Missouri-bred President of the United State
— Harry S. Truman — the mascot performs
at all MU football and basketball games,
and many other athletic events. Truman also
makes numerous civic appearances, at schools,
hospitals, county fairs, etc.
Twice in the last 10 years,
Truman was acclaimed
“Best Mascot in the
Nation” in national
competition.
