The University of Mary Washington women’s basketball team entered the season with a sour taste in its mouth. It ended the 2010-11 campaign with a 20-6 record but lost in the Capital Athletic Conference semifinals and missed out on the NCAA Tournament for the first time in seven years.<\/p>

Determined not to let that happen again, the veteran squad took each game of the 2011-12 season as if it were its last, and the results were historic.<\/p>

Mary Washington completed the regular season undefeated at 25-0, its second undefeated slate in the past six years. It topped its two biggest rivals, Marymount University and York College, en route to the Capital Athletic Conference tournament championship.<\/p>

Gaining one of the top seeds in the NCAA Division III Tournament, the Eagles hosted the first and second rounds in early March at the new Anderson Center, which was filled to near capacity for each game.<\/p>

UMW opened its NCAA run by showing off its national-best defense, limiting visiting Keuka College to just six first-half points, toward a 39-32 victory. Katie Wimmer ’12 <\/strong>led the Eagles with 16 points. The Eagles bested all NCAA schools (Division I, II, and III) by limiting opponents to just 42.4 points per game. Led by Jenna McRae ’12<\/strong>, who scored 20 points, and the emergence of guard Amanda Witmer ’15<\/strong>, who netted 10 second-half points, the Eagles topped Messiah College 53-50 to advance to the sectional rounds for the fourth time in seven years.<\/p>

Thanks to the new 52,000-square-foot Anderson Center and the team’s perfect 29-0 record, the Eagles hosted the sectionals for the first time ever the following weekend. Despite most students being out of town for spring break, the Eagles played before more than 800 fans in the semifinal against Lebanon Valley College, which was a 46-41 victory for UMW. In that game, McRae scored a game-high 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the Eagles improved to 30-0. UMW saw its season come to a close with a loss to fellow undefeated George Fox University of Oregon in the sectional final, just one game shy of the final four, on March 10.<\/p>

The Eagles’ 30-1 record is the highest winning percentage in school history, and the team’s advancement to the sectional finals is its second-best run in the NCAA Tournament. In addition to gaining all-conference and all-region accolades, McRae and Wimmer both closed their storied careers as two of only five players in the 42-year history of the program to surpass 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists, and 100 steals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Her parents had hoped the journey would land her a husband. Jones had no use for such conventional expectations.<\/p><p>She was going places. The desk would help get her there.<\/p><p>But like most things in life, it didn’t happen the way she’d planned.<br>\n<!--nextpage--><br>\nThe steep and seemingly endless stairs that lead to the maze of rooms on the fourth floor of Cooper Square do not faze Jones. At 77, she walks or bikes almost everywhere.<\/p><p>On a gray, wet morning in January, her bike was wedged in the narrow place between the wall of the building and the first-floor staircase. There used to be more room for it there, Jones said, until a luxury hotel went up around her home. Hotel investors had wanted to demolish the tenement altogether. Jones and another long-time resident didn’t want to leave, and the hotel couldn’t kick them out. The architect modified his plans to envelop the building.<\/p><p>Jones unlocked her apartment, walked into the kitchen and set down <em>The New York Times<\/em>, bought from a corner store on the brisk walk home from breakfast at a café just a few blocks away.<\/p><p><em>The Times<\/em>, she confided to a visitor, is her obsession, although at $2 a day it has become a pricey habit.<\/p><p>She put down her wet umbrella and the book bag that doubles as a purse. She changed out of her sensible walking shoes.<\/p><p>The night before, Jones and her older daughter, Kellie – both writers – had been the featured speakers at the Studio Museum in Harlem. Afterward, they had signed books for audience members and gone out to dinner. Jones got in later than she is accustomed to these days.<\/p><p>Hettie Jones’ home is like a museum, except there is no pretention in the artifacts and you are allowed to gaze on them up close. There is a farmer’s sink and a rocking chair (once pulled from a fire) next to the kitchen table. There are baskets of books. There’s a claw-foot tub in the bathroom.<\/p><p>A discarded tabletop on a giant wooden spool is the coffee table.<br>\nA large photo of two pretty, dark-skinned girls on the Cooper Square rooftop – the daughters of Hettie and her former husband LeRoi Jones – hangs in the kitchen above the washing machine, watching over it all.<\/p><p>A half-century earlier, Hettie and LeRoi Jones hosted big parties in these rooms. At 27 Cooper Square, and in their earlier New York City flats, they gathered Bohemian artist friends to make merry and assemble, page-by-page, the couple’s hip literary magazine, <em>Yugen<\/em>. Then, you could find pre-fame Beats and New York School figures like Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Diane di Prima, Gary Snyder, and Joel Oppenheimer between the oddly configured walls and between <em>Yugen<\/em>’s pages.<\/p><div id=\"attachment_2241\" style=\"width: 197px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/yugen.3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2241\" data-attachment-id=\"2241\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/features\/beat-chick\/attachment\/yugen-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/yugen.3.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"yugen.3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"<p>Hettie Cohen Jones and then-husband LeRoi Jones published Yugen from their home with the help of writer friends whose poems and stories filled the pages of the literary magazine.<\/p>\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/yugen.3.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2241\" src=\"http:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/yugen.3-187x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hettie Cohen Jones and then-husband LeRoi Jones published Yugen from their home with the help of writer friends whose poems and stories filled the pages of the literary magazine.<\/p><\/div><p>Inside their anything-goes circle, Hettie and LeRoi drew admiration for their talent and sometimes respect for their mixed-race marriage. America viewed them differently.<\/p><p>It was in this Cooper Square home that Jones looked out on a gentrifying East Village and wrote her 1990 memoir, <em>How I Became Hettie Jones<\/em>. The book landed on the <em>New York Times<\/em>’ list of 200 Notable Books of 1990 and still is taught in university classrooms. At her desk, Jones wrote the poems that made up her first book of poetry, <em>Drive<\/em>, which came out in 1999 and won the Poetry Society of America’s Norma Farber First Book Award. By then, Jones was 62, had been divorced more than 30 years, and had raised the two daughters she and LeRoi Jones had together.<\/p><p>The wooden secretary is nearly indistinguishable among the books and papers and little trinkets in Hettie Jones’ study – a bowl of paper clips, a tiny metal bicycle, bits of wit and inspiration framed or taped to the walls. As Jones needed more space to work, she expanded the little oak desk with random furniture and pieces: a buffet table sits at one end, a wooden board on file-cabinet legs at the other. She has arranged all of this into a giant U-shaped writing space and set out photographs of herself.<\/p><p>There is Hettie at age 4, squinting into the sun; Hettie at 14, at summer camp in the Adirondacks; Hettie in the early 1950s at Mary Washington College; and Hettie, the young mother, reading to her little daughters.<\/p><p>At 77, she likes to look back on who she used to be. “These are versions of myself in my life that I never want to disappoint.”<br>\n<!--nextpage--><br>\nHettie Roberta Cohen was the seconddaughter of Oscar and Lottie Cohen, a middle-class couple who settled in the mostly Jewish Laurelton neighborhood of Queens. Lottie was a homemaker who cooked and cleaned and laundered for the family when many of the neighbors hired out those chores. Oscar manufactured cardboard advertising displays.<\/p><p>By the time she was 14, Jones wanted to get away; by 17 she’d decided to attend an all-women’s college. She whittled her choices to New York’s Vassar College and Mary Washington, and she was accepted at both. Jones chose Mary Washington for the picturesque campus photographs, because it was farther from home, and because it cost less. And, she added, “I was afraid Vassar would make me a snob.”<\/p><p>The girl from Queens arrived in Virginia in 1951, three years before the Supreme Court outlawed school segregation in the landmark <em>Brown v. Board of Education<\/em>. Until then, she had never been farther south than New Jersey.<\/p><p>“I felt very much the Yankee Jew from New York,” Jones wrote in her memoir.<\/p><p>The only African-Americans she saw regularly were the women who cleaned the Mary Washington dormitories. To pick up extra money, one black woman ironed students’ skirts and blouses. As she had done with her mother, Jones ironed her own clothes in the laundry alongside the woman, who always met her with a smile and who taught her how to navigate the tucks in her blouses.<\/p><p>In Fredericksburg, Jones was shocked to see an auction block, once used to display human chattel, preserved at the corner of Charles and William streets. “As a northerner, I didn’t know what to think,” she said. “I was appalled.”<\/p><p><em>We’ve always taken care of our people<\/em>, she remembered a Southern classmate saying of the black women who worked in her family home. <em>We send our people to the dentist. <\/em><\/p><p>“I thought, ‘No, you pay them enough to go to the dentist,’ ” Jones said. “ ‘You don’t put them in that position. They are not subservient.’ ”<\/p><p>Jones majored in drama and speech at Mary Washington. She made friends and got involved in student groups. Despite feeling like an outsider, she was popular. Her freshman year, the student newspaper featured Jones, calling her a “well-known personality on campus.” <em>The Bullet <\/em>continued, “She is as explosive and as active as an A bomb, otherwise how would she find time to engage in so many extra-curricular activities and to do them successfully?”<\/p><div id=\"attachment_2281\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2281\" data-attachment-id=\"2281\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/features\/beat-chick\/attachment\/cohen4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"936,870\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"Cohen4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"<p>Jones and other members of Hillel in 1955.

Klein, started an experimental children’s theater at Mary Washington, and Jones directed the first play and others. The college provided her a bus, and she took the show on the road to country schoolhouses and veterans hospitals. She brought live theater to folks who’d never before experienced it.<\/p><p>At Mary Washington, Jones found her voice.<\/p><p>“At a woman’s college, you get to grow your sense of self,” she said. “Speaking your mind was something you were required to do.

She shared a dorm room and one desk with two roommates, so she staked out a place of her own in the <em>Battlefield’<\/em>s basement office. She retreated there in the evenings, longing to write plays but settling for poetry. Four of her poems were published her senior year in the <em>Epaulet<\/em>, the college literary magazine.

Sumner for their advice and assistance. The paper, written about poetry in theater, is still in the stacks at Simpson Library.<\/p><p>After graduating, a confident Jones returned to New York to start her life. She announced to her family her plans to move to Manhattan and get a job.<\/p><p>The Cohens were proud of their younger daughter but couldn’t understand why she didn’t want to “settle down.”<\/p><p>Jones found work at a film library and began graduate classes at Columbia University. After a year, her job lost funding, and she’d had enough of Columbia.

He stopped by the <em>Record Changer <\/em>office one afternoon looking for work. She was supposed to talk to him about the shipping manager job but never got around to it. He commented on the book Jones was reading – Kafka’s <em>Amerika <\/em>– and they didn’t stop talking about it until the owner of the place showed up an hour later.<\/p><p>LeRoi Jones was an aspiring writer, smart and quick and comfortable with himself. He was hired.<\/p><p>LeRoi and Hettie married in 1958, when marriage between blacks and whites was a crime in most states. That same year in Caroline County, Va., just 20 miles from Hettie Cohen Jones’ alma mater, a white husband and his black wife were roused from their bed, arrested, and jailed for having been legally wed in Washington, D.C. Their case went to the U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p><p>In New York, the Joneses were subjected to disapproving stares and comments. Oscar Cohen insisted his daughter divorce. Lottie Cohen visited on occasion from Queens but told her daughter she would suffer and pay every minute of her future for the taboo life she had chosen. In Newark, N.J., Anna and Coyt Jones welcomed Hettie Jones as a daughter.<\/p><p>Hettie and LeRoi led the lifestyle of the time and the place – and they helped invent it. They were surroundedby jazz and art and passionate friends who filled their apartment by the dozens. There were writers and artists and musicians who’d stop in for a night and stay for a week or two.<\/p><p>“Downtown was everyone’s new place,” Jones wrote in her memoir.<\/p><p>New art showed up in storefront galleries. New writers read groundbreaking poetry in cafés, and actors performed new plays in “new nook-and-cranny theaters,” she wrote. “The jazz clubs were there among all of this.”<\/p><p>The Joneses had two daughters. Kellie came first. “It was very clear she was viewed as a black person,” Hettie Jones said. “We got stared at a lot.”<\/p><p>When Lisa came two years later, “we really got stared at. People realized this is not an accident. This is a family.”<\/p><p>LeRoi’s career took off and Hettie, who’d always taken pride in her independence, tended their home and their children. She took uninspiring jobs to pay the bills.<\/p><p>Influenced in part by the Cuban revolution, by Malcolm X, and by his own family’s suffering in white America, LeRoi Jones moved away from the Bohemian life with Hettie and toward Black Nationalism. He began to see himself less as an artist and more as an activist, and he changed his name to Amiri Baraka.<\/p><p><em>Yugen <\/em>ended in 1962. LeRoi and Hettie’s marriage ended three years later, soon after the murder of Malcolm X.<\/p><p>“By the fall of 1964, black Americans were being asked to make choices. Nearly a decade of nonviolent protest had failed,” Hettie Jones wrote. “In the seven years I’d been with Roi, I’d watched the loosening of what would one day be called ‘black rage.’ … Now some people were beginning to say that hypocritical Roi talked black but married white.”<\/p><p>In a letter to her dear friend Helene Dorn, wife of poet Ed Dorn, Hettie Jones wrote of the separation, “It would have been easier to die except for the kids.”<\/p><div id=\"attachment_2301\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2301\" data-attachment-id=\"2301\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/features\/beat-chick\/attachment\/cohen2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2312,2154\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"Cohen2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"<p>Jones was the 1955 class historian and was pictured in The Battlefield (far left, in white sneakers) with fellow class officers and faculty sponsors.<\/p>\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-1024x954.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2301\" src=\"http:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-300x279.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-1024x954.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-768x716.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-1536x1431.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-2048x1908.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-690x643.jpg 690w, https:\/\/magazine.umw.edu\/spring2012\/files\/2012\/04\/Cohen2-465x433.jpg 465w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jones was the 1955 class historian and was pictured in The Battlefield (far left, in white sneakers) with fellow class officers and faculty sponsors.<\/p><\/div><p>Both Hettie and Helene had in many ways lived in the shadows of their husbands. Both went through divorces in the mid-1960s. And both found their creative voices again. Dorn became a sculptor.

She is working on a follow-up to her memoir, which ended as the newly single mother recovered from the break-up of her marriage and refocused on herself.

She was a passionate mother who raised her daughters on money she scraped together with editing, writing, and teaching jobs. “There were periods of time when I had no money at all,” she said. The children blossomed under the wings of dynamic artist neighbors and their mother’s advice, “Go to school or end up in the massage parlor.”<\/p><p>Both daughters went to Yale University. Lisa Jones wrote for the V<em>illage Voice<\/em>, penned plays, and co-wrote three books with director Spike Lee.

But as the poetry collection – dedicated to the memory of her father and brother, who both died within a three-year span – delves into the darkness of demise, it also illuminates the idea of conservation.<\/p><p>It “may seem to be about death, the brother’s death, the father’s death, everyone’s death,” wrote Virginia Poet Laureate <strong>Kelly Cherry ’61<\/strong>. “Yet the poems themselves…are the poet’s brilliant argument for life.”<\/p><p>Emerson’s words explore cultural and historical aspects of dying through everything from a burning home to the slaughter of farm animals, and, most profoundly, through the loss of her own family members. But, as its title – an old ad for postmortem images – suggests, the work extols preservation, and the author pays homage to the children photographed in death who live on in dusty daguerreotypes.<\/p><p>“Photography is preservation…poetry is also preserving,” Emerson told UMW’s <em>DTLT Today <\/em>webcast. “The thing that’s always alive is the person who’s going to view it…the living eye moving around the figure or through the poem.”<\/p><p>Emerson, a former Virginia Poet Laureate whose six books include the Pulitzer Prize-winning <em>Late Wife<\/em>, has received fellowships from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and Library of Congress.<\/p><p><em>Published by Louisiana State University Press, February 2012<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secure the ShadowBy Claudia Emerson, UMW professor of English and Arrington Distinguished Chair in PoetryDeath comes calling in Claudia Emerson’s Secure the Shadow.

She didn’t know a word of English. ESL classes helped, but when she enrolled with her sister, <strong>Isabel Garcia ’76<\/strong>, at James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg, she was far from fluent.<\/p><p>“It was either sink or swim,” Chichester said. “It was tough, but people helped us.”<\/p><p>Now the Spanish professor, who has been on the UMW faculty for two decades, is so comfortable with both languages she sometimes starts a sentence with one and finishes with the other. Her linguistic abilities reach beyond the foreign language department, translating into benefits for the community, where she volunteers extensively. As director of UMW’s Bachelor of Liberal Studies program, Chichester helps adult learners reach their academic goals. But perhaps her greatest gift to others is one she also gave herself – the ability to speak a second language.<\/p><p>“I think I had an early calling to teach,” Chichester said. “I’m high when I come out of the classroom. I just love it.”<\/p><p>Chichester majored in Spanish and French at Mary Washington, where Carmen Rivera, UMW professor emerita of modern foreign languages, sparked her passion for prose. Chichester earned a master’s degree in Latin American literature from the University of North Carolina and a doctorate in Spanish from the University of Virginia, where she worked briefly as an instructor. She also held an adjunct position at Mary Washington before landing a tenure-track appointment in 1992.<\/p><p>Colorful Cuban artwork, a map of the Caribbean island nation, and Mexican throws make Chichester’s office feel like home. There, the associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences said she was ecstatic to visit her native Cuba as a guide with the UMW President’s Travel Club.<\/p><p>She’d like to return again someday with her adult sons, Philip, John, and Daniel – the loves of her life and the secret to the depth of her devotion to community. As her boys began to leave home, one by one, Chichester said, she staved off loneliness by flinging herself into public service.<\/p><p>“It’s also a good way for me to have a pulse in the community and know what the needs are,” Chichester said. Her volunteer efforts include the Rappahannock Area United Way and the Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region.<\/p><p>During downtime, she enjoys her Stafford County home on a sprawling cattle farm that bustles with wildlife. Its peace has grounded the dizzying pace of the past 20 years, through which she’s watched Mary Washington’s foreign language department blossom. But at least one thing hasn’t changed, Chichester said.<\/p><p>“If I’m here, my door is always open.”<\/p><p><strong>What do you love most about UMW? <em>The students. No question about it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What would you change about UMW? <em>One of the things I’m really passionate about is having more international students on campus, especially from developing areas of the world, like Africa and Latin America. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>How would you describe yourself? <em>I think I’m approachable and fair. I’m passionate about the things I do, about my discipline, and about where I live. That’s part of the reason I stay so involved.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What motivates you? <em>Seeing students succeed. Also, when you’re an immigrant, there’s a kind of impetus to work hard and strive for more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What inspires you? <em>My family and my parents, who sacrificed a lot when we left Cuba.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What matters most to you? <em>Whatever is going on in the lives of my kids, even at their [adult] ages.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What are you passionate about? <em>All issues related to Cuba and Cuban-American relations. Whenever I have a chance, I go to D.C. to lobby Congress; I’ve kind of appointed myself as a different Cuban-American voice.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What do you enjoy doing? <em>Getting up early and seeing the wildlife on the farm. I look forward to springtime, even though I have an acre of grass to mow. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What are you afraid of? <em>One of my dreams is to be able to go to Cuba and have some sort of easy relationship with my place of origin; I’m afraid that won’t be in my lifetime.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>What keeps you awake at night? <em>Issues at work or with students.
