Denver Prince
After earning a grant from the National Science Foundation, Denver Prince was attending Vanderbilt University in the summer of 1959 when he was contacted by A.E. Burdick, the academic dean at Arkansas State Teachers College, now the University of Central Arkansas, about teaching at the institution.
“I was taking 14 hours and didn’t have time to come to Conway for an interview. Dean Burdick met me at the airport in Nashville to interview me for the job at UCA,” Prince said. “He came back and reported to Dr. Snow that he felt they should hire me.”

bonnie schneider watching the severe weather for us. bonnie, i want to underscore, i tall size, this is a huge, huge deal. it is, it is. we rarely see something that s called high risk issued by the storm prediction center out of norman, oklahoma, and that means is when you see this purple circle, covers a good portion of louisiana and mississippi, into alabama and a little tiny corner of arkansas, all right. when you have high risk it s so unusual because it means within a 25-mile radius of this circle area you see here we have a 30% chance of a tornado breaking out. that s a high number. think of it this way. usually we have 0% chance of a tornado breaking out. a slight risk sent to the midwest and a moderate risk extends well into western tennessee including nashville and memphis.
