UALR Scholarship in honor of Bill Gwatney increased

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (UALR) Harold and Syble Gwatney, parents of the late state senator and Democratic Party chair Bill Gwatney, have presented UALR with an additional gift of $50,000 to increase the endowment of a political science scholarship in their son's memory.

The Bill Gwatney Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established shortly after the younger Gwatney was shot and killed in the state Democratic Party headquarters in 2008. His parents made a gift of $100,000 in December 2008 to endow the scholarship.

The additional gift will provide more scholarships for deserving political science students at UALR. Mr. and Mrs. Gwatney said that they decided to increase the endowment after reading letters from UALR political science students who had received Gwatney Memorial Scholarships.

"Harold said he wanted more scholarships awarded and that he hoped his gift could serve that purpose," said Dr. Art English, professor of political science.

Russellville mail processing center consolidating to Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - As a result of a study begun on December 3, 2010, the Postal Service has made the decision to consolidate mail processing operations from the Russellville Customer Service Mail Processing Center to the Little Rock Processing & Distribution Center.

Arkansas District Manager David Camp said there has been a drastic 20 percent decline in mail volume since 2007.

"I understand our employees' concern over this move," Camp added, "but the consolidation makes sense given the fiscal realities. The Little Rock center has the capacity to handle the additional workload and we can realize significant savings by shifting operations there."

The transition is expected to be completed by October 2011. Some employees may be reassigned to other vacant positions as a result of the move.
