Student playwrights will be showcasing their talents for the eighth consecutive year this Saturday at the Ten-Minute Play Festival, also known as All Night Theatre.
“All Night Theatre, it’s random, chaotic and rushed but an amazing experience everyone enjoys,” said senior musical theater major Rachel Street. “Everyone should come and see the performances and be amazed at what people can do in 24 hours.”

ARKADELPHIA, Ark.—Eleven Ouachita Baptist University students were recently named finalists in the annual Arkansas Chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) auditions held at Henderson State University.
“As much of an honor as it is to progress to the finals, NATS is really so much more for the growth in the performer and as a learning experience,” said Elisabeth Hipp, a junior vocal performance major from Memphis, Tenn. “A really helpful aspect of this audition process is that after the preliminary round, every participant receives a sheet of comments from each of their judges. Receiving feedback from someone other than your own voice instructor is often a wonderful resource to me as a performer.”

ARKADELPHIA, Ark.—Reflecting on the life and legacy of longtime Ouachita Baptist University staff member Mac Sisson, peers and former students consistently highlight the words “friend” and “mentor.”
Sisson, who served almost three decades as assistant director of public relations at Ouachita Baptist University, died March 8 at age 62 in Arkadelphia. In addition to his public relations role, he held the positions of OBU News Bureau director and sports information director. He also was active in directing a number of major campus events, including the annual Miss OBU Pageant, Tiger Tunes and Tiger Traks as well as working closely with the Miss Arkansas Pageant.

ARKADELPHIA, Ark.—Ouachita Baptist University will welcome a representative from the U.S. Census Bureau in April as part of the 2010 national census.
“Census information is important,” said Phil Hardin, OBU’s compliance officer and assistant to the president for administration. “Among other things, it is used to help determine representation in Congress and funding for school districts and other government services. Ouachita staff members will assist census representatives in achieving an accurate count of our students.”
The census requires that all students living in college housing facilities be counted in the city where their college is located rather than in their hometowns. The count will include citizens and non-citizen residents. It will have no effect on residency status of non-citizens, however.
When the representative arrives at Ouachita in April, the official forms will be distributed to students at each university housing facility. Each student will be asked to complete a form and return it as instructed. There are 10 questions on the questionnaire, and it should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.
Census information is confidential and protected by law. No census data will be shared with any other individual or organization, even other government agencies.
For more information, contact Margaret Frazier, director of campus housing, at frazierm@obu.edu or (870) 245-5220; Judy Jones, registrar, at jonesj@obu.edu or (870) 245-4298; or Phil Hardin at hardinp@obu.edu or (870) 245-5400.
