In the Spring of 1970 work was begun on a master academic plan by Dean Ben Whitfield, working with such men as Logan Green, chairman of the department of fine arts.

Every college has goals and objectives so that it may move in harmony toward the future. Westark Junior College philosophy has set the direction of this college toward becoming a comprehensive community college to meet the educational needs of the community. In three basic areas, the physical plant, the academics, and student services, plans have been developed that will form a foundation for building a school that will meet the challenges of the future.

Committees of students developed a new constitution for the student body in March, calling for a broader representation by the clubs on the campus.

New instructors add zest to community

Showing great initative, Richard Hudson organized a series of appearances by the most prominently mentioned gubernatorial condidates before the primary elections of 1970. Hudson, a Baylor graduate introduces Bill Wells, first of the guest speakers.

Biology instructor, Mrs. Margaret McDonald is a prin-cipal instructor in the new biology curriculum for non-science majors. Miss Joyce Nugent, general business in-structor, joined the business department staff in August 1969.

as well as classes Imaginative new instructors give life

to the college through new approaches to old problems and exciting new teaching techniques to everyday classroom activi-ty. Two new programs were added to the college curriculum this fall, the Associate Degree Nursing and the instrumental music instruction. Twenty new faculty members joined the Westark staff in 1969-70.

Film as Art, a community service course was offered by Westark's new instructor in English, Richard Vela in late April and May.

Conducting the Fort Smith Symphony and instructing instrumental music at Westark is the task of Walter Minniear.

Calline Dipboye, in-structs first year nursing students in the new nurs-ing lab.

Technical skill required to repair the automobile demands serious study and practice for Westark auto mechanics students.

Wide spectrum of students blend on campus

Diversity among students calls for a diversity in the courses offered and in the approaches that students take to college life. Progress comes through skillfully blending all elements of the college into one unit working toward a common end.

Expressing enthusiasm for the basketball team, Jan Campbell typifies many Westark co-eds.

Retired Dr. Davis W. Goldstein attends classes at Westark to feed his appetite for knowledge.

Boots and mini skirts typify some collegians while others take a more traditional approach to the problem of "what to wear."

Hours of study may be the best answer to be found to the com-mon dilemma of how to attain a good grade point.

Head Baseball Coach Bill Crowder

Active athletic programs becoming a necessity

Progress in the area of athletics was attained when Coach Bill Crowder was permitted to devote his time to baseball only with the hiring of Harold Callahan as basketball coach. An integral part of the life of the college, the sports program was better supported this year than ever before.

Community involvement

watchword of fine arts

Giant steps were taken during the 1969-70 school year in integrating the fine arts department of the college with fine arts activities in the community. The cooperative arrangement worked out with the Fort Smith symphony and the college to employ Walter C. Minnear, the coordination of the Westark drama program with that of the little Theater, and the Art students contribution to the Affiliation of the Arts, "Festival 70" are examples of the direction that the Arts program of the College is taking.

One act plays were produced by Theatre students, an innovation beginning with this version of "Charlie Brown."

10

Correlating Westark's art program with the city's fes-tival 70, Westark students held an art sale on March 8, draw-ing large numbers of visitors to the campus.

Continuing a tradition, the Westark Choir per-formed a December con-cert with the Fort Smith Symphony, doing Proko-fieff's Alexander Nevsky and the Alto Rhapsody by Brahms.

Board of Trustees undertakes expanding role

Chairman of the Board, Clyde Randall, Jr.

Noted as a board that is assuming a proper role in the development of the college, Westark's trustees spend time in Board meetings weekly, and in studying the reams of documents and studies that eminate from the College administration and the faculty. Of special concern during this academic year has been the drive for accreditation by the North Central Asso-ciation of Colleges and Universities and the campaign for added tax milage, which was defeated by voters on October 21, 1969.

Members of the board discuss academic policies with Dr. Whit-field, Dean of the College at monthly board meetings.

Student Union building

finished in early March The physical plant is vitally important to the

growth of the college. During the current year, students have been disadvantaged by construction of the Thomas E. Fullerton Student Union. Now com-pleted, the building serves as the center of campus life for students and faculty. Two buildings previously utilized by the county to house the aged, have been removed and the board acquired additional property near the campus to bring the total campus to 52 acres.

Dismantling of the old Administration building which had served as a temporary student center, was halted for several weeks during the winter snows.

14

Construction neared its end on the new student union. Students could start imagining how great the new building would be.

Serene after one of the several winter snows, the campus is beginning to look complete.

15

16

Ingredients have been assembled to build a successful community college. The future looms nearer as the new decade is about to dawn. Only by blending students, faculty, administration and board can Westark continue to meet the challenges for which it is now equipped. The plans have been made; they must be executed.

Department of Education chairman resigns

Teaching students to work with others continued as the goal of the education department this year. Early classroom experience, which provides the students with a chance to participate in an actual teaching situation, was added to the list of courses offered in this department. This new course had its beginning last year as a student teacher pilot program. This course offers students wishing to pursue a career in teaching an opportunity to sit in on an actual classroom situation. Three area schools worked in cooperation with this program. The depart-ment saw the addition of Harold Callahan, physical education instructor and basketball coach, and the resignation of Hollis Simpson as chairman of the department. Women's active physical education profited by the addition of a new pool table. Spending last summer at the University of Arkansas in advanced study were Mrs. Dorothy Rappeport and Mrs. Delece Gordon. Others in the department include Miss Brenda Snow, physical education and Bill Crowder, physical education and baseball coach.

Department of English

The department moved from the science building to the main technical building this year. During the first part of the year the department was unsettled by the construction of new offices. New to the department are Gene Wells, Tennessee State University, teaching English and Richard Vela. Vela previously taught in a private academy, where the average IQ was 130. His first assignment at Westark was the teaching of remedial English. Edward C. Sanders, University of Oklahoma, was also added as instructor of journalism courses. He is also head of the communications department of the Whirlpool Corp. During the year there was an increased use of SRA transparencies. The freshman English plan was also implemented during the year. Mrs. Kathleen Skeen and Mrs. Barbara Bartlett studied last summer at the University of Arkansas in general English courses. Dr. S. H. Blakely remained as chairman of the department. Others in the department are Mrs. Betsy Altman, English; Mrs. Joy Lowe, English; Mrs. Racheal Smith, foreign language; Mrs. Mabel Perry, English; and Mrs. Hal Olsen, instructor of the non-credit course in German.

A new instrumental music program, in-cluding two courses, music appreciation and orchestral strings, was added to the department of fine arts this year. The program was under the direction of Walter Minniear, Columbia School of Music, Chicago and Vandercook College of Music, also new to the department. David Young, Abilene Christian College and the University of Oklahoma School of Drama, who teaches speech and drama, was also a new addition this year. Under the direction of Young, the drama depart-ment presented its first production, "The Rain Maker." The second production was "The Mouse That Roared." Work was also begun in coordi-nating the Westark drama program with the Little Theatre Program. Logan Green is head of the department. Others in the department in-clude Miss Kathleene Keck, music; James Howard, art; and Hoyle Carolan, speech.

Three instructors

lead math classes

The department of math and engineering continued its two year program offering subjects such as a non-credit course in intermediate algebra; trigonometry; technical mathematics, a course designed for students in vocational-technical fields; applied higher mathematics; calculus and analytic geometry; and calculus and differential equation. Applied higher mathe-matics, which had its beginning in the depart-ment last year, is a course in business mathe-matics with applications in management and economics, covering fundamental ideas of analytic geometry, functions and graphs, conic sections, transcedental functions, and concepts of calculus. Mr. B. L. Holder is head of the department. Other members of the department include Mr. Ray Sparks and Mr. Doyle Coe.

Exemplified by this student's intricate and lengthy work is a complex college algebra problem.

36

Nursing instructors enroll first degree seekers

In its first year for the associate degree program was the nursing department. Heading the program this year was Mrs. Carolyn Moore, who was on the staff all last year.

During the recruiting and laying ground work for the program, the most difficult task was found to be the gathering of the faculty. It was discovered that there are very few people with nursing degrees who are qualified to teach college nursing. A graduate of this new program is qualified to take the state board exam. After completing the exam successfully the student becomes a registered nurse.

Nursing students use a wide variety of audio-tutorial devices such as the Super-8 movie projector, tape recordings and audio taping equipment. Working in close connection with the science department, they occupy classrooms and laboratory space in the science building.

In cooperation with the three area hospitals, the nurses take practical training in the clinical situation.

A change of the biology curriculum was the most significant development in the science department this year. A general biology curricu-lum for non-science majors was developed this year in addition to biology and botany, which are offered for science majors. Also developed was an integrated science course for nursing students. Of special interest to students this year, were the seminars, developed, which covered such topics as the implications of the discoveries of DNA and a lecture on "Evolution."

40

Michael Hightower, Charles Irish, Robert Clark, John Deaton, James Houston, Bob Amos, and Mrs. Margaret McDon-ald, science instructors.

Social Sciences include

several distinct areas The social science department made a move to the science

building this year. No new courses were offered this year, but the department did have a new approach to several of the classes. One class, being Richard Hudson's State and Local Government class visited Tucker Prison Farm immediately after Judge J. Smith Henley's decision to declare the state prison system unconstitutional. His class also sponsored a series of speeches by the most prominently mentioned candidates for governor.

A popular class with members of the community this year at Westark was Current Problems. This class uses for texts the leading news magazines.

Tech Department appointed new chairman

The most notable happening in the Department of Tech-nology was the appointment of Jefferson Haney as chairman of the department. Haney is a graduate of Harvard University in Boston, Mass. He taught in the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers University in New England and while in Wyoming he was president of a community college. He also has worked in industry before coming to Westark.

A major development of the department has been the work toward the occupational-technical building, which will house more highly sophisticated programs in the fields of engineering technology, medical technology, chemical technology and data processing. New instructors who were added to the department this year added some new insights and new content to some of the courses. As a result of this, the technical department has become more increasingly aware of its need to meet the needs of the community.

New to the department were John Samuels, instructor in electronics, who is a graduate of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and Ralph Baker, instructor in drafting.

Technical instructor, Jerry Center was one of the many who worked in Westark's booth at the fair.

Seated: Lee Cummings, Jeff Haney, Standing: Ralph Baker, John Samuels, Robert Aston, Becky Bray, Bill Fitzgerald, Jerry Center, Leo Rice.

Westark Library schedule of hours extended

The expansion of the library into additional sections of the library building when the periodicals were moved to a separate room was the most significant happening of the library at Westark this year.

Another change took place when the audio-visual room was set up and additional stacks were constructed outside the main reading room to house the fiction and children's literature collection.

New hours were established and policies regarding library fines underwent extensive investigation in connection with Student Board representatives and the faculty library committee.

This year the library received federal grants and numerous donations to expand the library's holdings. During the year there was an attempt to continue the job of balancing the collection, buying more titles in the areas of technology and pure science.

Mrs. Sylvia Cobb, a graduate in library science with a masters degree from the University of Oklahoma joined the staff this year.

Staff increases as new building constructed

Bookstore clerk, Mrs. Bess McWilliams

Westark's secretarial, maintenance and jani-torial staff now numbers 23. Primarily responsi-ble to the various departments and administrative personnel the staff makes significant contribu-tions to the working of the college.

Secretaries were kept especially busy during the milage campaign in October, putting in many hours of work beyond the average working day. North Central accreditation also demanded much from the secretarial staff as mountains of reports studies and surveys were prepared.

The maintenance staff was kept busy early in the year moving the English Department to the technical facilities and the Social Science people to the science building. The perpetual maintenance problem was the fine arts building and construction of the student union added extra burdens to the staff.

Janitors are assigned to each building but during the year many had to double-up and serve in more than one capacity.

Student Life

51

Getting registered is first task students face

The Westark campus came to life again as students filled the halls of the college registering for classes, making new acquaintenances and refreshing old ones. Orientation day was held September 8 and 9 while the night orientation was held September 8. This program is provided for all students entering Westark for the first time. The professional counselors and the academic advisors work cooperatively on this program which has as its purpose helping students make the entry into college easy and meaningful.

Registration of students was September 10-12. Classes began September 15, bringing to a close the many activities of the summer and presenting to students a new year of challenges in college life. The final day for enrollment for the fall semester was September 22.

Connie Caton concentrates on plan-ning a schedule and filling out her registration cards, a time consuming job every student encounters at regis-tration. 52

Students get acquainted

through various ways As the days passed students became acquainted with new

faces through various activities. A student mixer was held September 20 providing students

with the opportunity to meet new friends and converse and enjoy themselves.

Westark students were often seen in the Student Union, a popular place to develop new friendships, in a game of cards or chatting over lunch. Another common interest to students was a game of pool.

During the first few days the halls were filled with posters of candidates running for Student Board. The election was held September 26.

Student workers Mack Skeen and Janet Nolte find time to make discussion with the photographer while on their way to work.

One of the most popular places to develop friendships is the Student Union. At a game of cards, or while eating lunch.

54

Fall mixer provided students with time to really get to meet new friends as well as a chance to talk and eat, as Lula Maciejack and Jan Maddox demonstrate.

Around the pool table Leon Williams, David Duerr and Elliot Whitfield enjoy a common interest.

55

Class involvement means

added college enjoyment A very truthful saying is that you get out of college only

what you are willing to put into it. Class participation is one way of doing this. For Westark students there is a wide variety of opportunities to do just this.

Science provides the student with the opportunity of working on experiments, taking part in class discussions and making special in depth reports, enabling the student to learn about himself and his environment.

In art, the students are given the opportunity of improving their already acquired skill or beginning a new one.

Students who have active participation in their classrooms not only broaden their knowledge but are provided with a new outlook on life and the world in which they live.

Introduction to Art is one of the most popular courses on campus.

56

Work on experiments often require student cooperation.

Large classes as in the science lecture room create a barrier to participation.

57

Long hours alone in the Chemistry lab don't seem to bother Carl Fath.

Growth comes in

individual study Acquiring knowledge not only requires class-

room involvement, but many hours of work and study outside of the classroom.

Students who don't take advantage of broad-ening their knowledge outside the classroom are only cheating themselves, for outside work en-ables the student to grow in his already acquired knowledge. The more a student puts into his studies, the more he will profit from it.

Independent studying allows the student to go deeper into the subject in which he is involved. Thus, he may or may not find the particular subject interesting, and if he does, then he will gain new knowledge which he will remember always. Although students may not see the profits from outside studying at the present time, they will in the future years to come.

No campus can be complete without people

People, what are they, who are they and what will they be in the future? These are questions sometimes aroused in the minds of Westark students. People are students and staff members you find roaming the halls and campus at Westark. They make up the complete life of the college. Without them, the college would be just a group of deserted buildings sitting around and taking up priceless space. People provide the spirit of the college or they can take it away. Some are funny, while others are serious. Some people are happy and others sad. The world is full of all types of people, just as Westark is.

What a person becomes in the future depends upon what he makes of himself at the present time. Westark is an institution which provides students with every opportunity of making the very best of themselves.

Janet Nolte, student worker in the science department pauses on the steps before running an errand.

Cecilia Collyge smiles through a rain specked window pane which creates this effect.

62

Evidently Tom Sallis thinks something funny is going on. Paula Porta wholeheartedly agrees with an equally amused expression.

With head in hand, Mrs. Wanda Furr, secretary to the Business Department ponders where to turn next.

63

Snow greets 1970

As winter comes rolling in, along with it comes the ice cold winds and rain and blankets of snow. These signs of winter were experienced by every Westark student this year.

Winter this year at the college was a time for the new fashioned "Maxi-Coats," along with the already "in" boots and parkas.

Due to ice capped roads, school was dis-missed at Westark, giving students a day of leisure time.

In the meantime, the deserted college was put to bed in a blanket of freshly fallen snow.

Though warmly enfurred, Gary Erwin pokes his head out the door of a test of the blistering wind.

Special Events gave lift

to students social life

Students at Westark experienced a varied social life this year.

The "Smith," a top recording singing group, launching a number one sound, "Baby It's You," presented a musical concert in the fall at the Municipal Auditorium. Sponsored by the Student Board, the concert was one of strong vibrating and exciting sounds, arousing the minds of those attending.

Another special event of the year was a production by the University of Tulsa players of "Amahl and the Night Visitors," held in the Fine Arts Auditorium. Other highlights of the year included a concert by the Oklahoma City Symphony, under the direction of Guy Frazier Harrison, noted among American conductors, plus movies, sponsored by the Student Board, including such ones as "Spook Spectacular," "Mark of the Vampire," "Arabesque" and "The Great Race."

Smith aroused the students with strong sounds and an exciting program in the municipal auditorium.

Union construction creates constant problems

Monstrous cranes and other huge machines were a familiar sight to Westark students during the first semester, as con-struction of the new student center continued to progress. There were problems of noise made by the ever moving machinery and moving of equipment, which blocked areas. Ground breaking for the building was July 1969. Architects were Nelson, Laser and Cheyne and general contractors were Larsen and Wear. Dedi-cation ceremonies for the new Thomas E. Fullerton Student Union were held March 7. The union, officially named in honor of the late Mr. Fullerton, who served 11 years as coach, teacher, dean of men and dean of the college, houses student and faculty lounges, student and private dining rooms, games areas and offices for student organizations and publications. It is used for Student Board meetings, dances and parties as well as for an informal meeting and study site in addition its function as an informal drop-in recreation and study facility. Although the construction machinery might have been a problem at the first of school, that is a thing of the past, for students can now experience the many facilities now available at the center, as well as helping to plan for the union's future in the years to come.

Monstrous cranes and other huge machines created scenes such as this while construction went on throughout the first semester.

Once class is over

Work at Westark does not stop with the classroom, but many hours are spent after hours in planning and preparing to make student life at the college the best possible. In the science department time is spent in cleaning utensils and cabinets after classroom experiments by students, so that things will once again be in order for the next class. Hard work and much planning goes into every student activity on the campus. Students spend many hours in making the final plans and final decorations for the campus dances held during the year, to make them the most enjoyable for the students.

Weeks of planning, casting and finally rehearsing are spent in making the Westark drama productions the outstanding ones that they are.

splattered mud on feet was a sensation experienced by all students who dared venture the parking lot.

Mud and parking two of lifes great problems

Two of the most familiar problems, faced by Westark students this year were mud and parking. Because of the enormous enrollment of students, the parking space was very limited. Students cars filled all parking lots provided by the college in addition to the surrounding streets. It took a great deal of practice to be capable of mastering the car manipulation at the college due to the hundreds of cars engulfing the campus every day. Not only being a problem of limited space, the hundreds of cars, driven to college every day, also contributed to the national problem of air pollution. A second problem very familiar to Westark students was mud. Rainy weather seemed to be the "in" thing this year, presenting problems of slushy mud puddles for students to walk in, getting cars stuck in the sinking earth and crowded sidewalks where students flocked to prevent coming in contact with the uncomfortable side affects of the weather.

Hundreds of cars were driven to the campus every day and not only posed a parking problem, but also contributed to air pollution.

72

With a good deal of practice each day, Westark students soon became talented in the art of car manipulation.

Jan Maddox found the new sidewalks an advantage over the mud as Westark experi-enced one of its better seasons.

Spring signals the end

of w i n t e r and classes

Spring this year at Westark meant a wide variety of activities for students. Included were the movies, presented by the Student Board, the drama production of "The Mouse That Roared" presented by the fine arts department, of course the most welcomed Spring Break. Also included was "Twirp Week," banquets, concerts, a choir tour, a music recital, a variety show co-sponsored by the Student Board and Phi Beta Lambda, the "Spring Prom," Student Board elections and cramming for class finals.

Spring was a happy occasion for just enjoying the "Spring-Fever" weather and being among friends, if only just for a walk between classes.

Sports

Collahan gets tough breaks in first season

Coach Harold Callahan

Although his first year at Westark ended somewhat disap-pointedly, head basketball coach Harold Callahan and his crew of roundballers turned in a very satisfying season.

In his initial season as head Lion, Coach Callahan saw a seemingly 15-14 won-lost record go out the window when it was learned that the Lions had been using an ineligible player after the semester break and had to forfeit two games that they had won, and reduce the Numa's record to 13 wins and 16 losses.

Not only did the ineligible player cost the Lions a winning season, but it also cost them a trip to the regional junior college tournament played in Tulsa.

As luck may have it, the two games Westark forfeited were Ozark conference games and with the two wins subtracted and the two losses added to their conference record, the Lions needed a win in their final game of the season to qualify for the regional tournament.

However, Lady Luck defied the Lions once again and Central Baptist's Jim Reynolds swished a field goal with six seconds to play to give the Baptists a 71-69 win and smash Westarks tournament hopes.

On a brighter note, the Lions 69-70 basketball season turned

Leading the way with the most honors was forward Fred Davis. Davis, who led the Lions in rebounding and was the Numa's second leading scorer, was named to the first team all-conference in the Ozark conference and achieved the same honor in the Bi-State conference.

Another senior who was named to all every-thing, was senior guard Donnie Matlock. Matlock led the Lions in scoring and was picked for the Bi-State all-conference team and was a second team all star in the Ozark Conference.

Westark's tallest player, postman Rick Hug-gins, achieved honorable mention honors in the Ozark Conference and grabbed the second high-est amount of rebounds for the Lions.

Lion baseballers go against four-year schools

Bill Crowder, baseball coach

Playing a schedule that included several four year colleges and some of the best junior college teams in the nation, Westark's baseball Lions once again turned in a better than average season.

The Numa opened the season against State College of Arkansas, a powerhouse in the AIC, and went on to play Arkansas Tech, Harding, and Ouachita, also four year schools from the AIC.

However, Westark's stiffest test came from the same team that has beat out the Lion's the past two years in a row for a berth in the National Junior College baseball tournament, Bacone of Muskogee.

Bacone is noted for having some of the toughest junior college athletics teams in the country and their crew of baseballers annually knock off such major universities as Tulsa and Oklahoma.

The Lions overcame several problems to achieve their successful season. First of all, the Numa's roster only listed fifteen players which means a lack of debt and second not one of the fifteen players claimed to be a catcher.

Outfield: front row, Tyvieo Woods, and Phil Willcoxon. Back row, Jim Crighton, Ronnie Raible, Larry McDaniels, and Rodney Center.

Year marks reorganization of cheerleaders

In elections in September, 7 girls were named to serve as cheerleaders during the 1969-70 Basketball season. Starting the fires of enthusiasm in the crowd at the games and providing a continuing emphasis on school spirit among the student body is the main function of the group.

The basketball team is greatly effected by the group spirit and the cheerleaders had a decided effect on the season.

The girls traveled to out-of-town games with faculty and administrative members serving as chaperones.

During the course of the year it was seen that the group faced financial difficulties so the Student Board initiated a study to determine the needs of the cheerleaders and how to best meet these needs.

Work is underway to arrive at regulations and procedures which will make the group more beneficial to the team and to the college.

Golfers began season

with mid-March play Completing their second year on the golfing circuit,

Westark's linksmen presented faculty coach Ronald Richard with a very satisfying season.

Leading the Lion golfers was the duo of Rick Hunley and Parker Nantz. Hunley, a transfer student from the University of Arkansas, was rated as one of the best amateur golfers in the state, and was the number one man on the Lion's golfing squad. Nantz was one of the Lion's most consistant golfers, and was the number two man.

Westark teed off the 1970 golfing season with a mid-March match against Oklahoma City Southwest at the Lake Hefner golf course in Oklahoma City. All home matches were played at the Fort Chaffee golf course and the six man squad was allowed to practice free during the week-days.

Homecoming Queen crowned Valentines Day

Homecoming festivities were held in connection with the Westark basketball game against Phillips College at Helena. The Lions were successful in their bid to upset this powerful team.

Four nominees were selected by the team to vie for the honor of being the 1970 homecoming queen. In an election on February 13, students chose Miss Jean Setliffe to reign over the day. Miss Setliffe was crowned in pre-game ceremonies by Westark President Shelby Breedlove.

The day ended with a Valentines dance in the Fine Art auditorium with music provided by the "Missplaced Confi-dence."

Homecoming maids were Miss Jan Campbell, Miss Janith Fawcett, and Miss Pam Fiser.

Student Board initiates

additional representation

Under the leadership of Skip Freeman, Student Board President, the board took giant steps toward more independent government by the students. Several major projects were sponsored by the board with great success.

Smith, a nationally known recording group appeared in concert November 13, at the municipal auditorium drawing a large number of people from the community as well as students. The largest production of the year was the cooperative sponsorship of the National Shakespeare Company's presentation of MacBeth on March 31.

Four regular dances lightened the activities season with several movies including "The Great Race" shown free to students.

Highlighting all board activities was the work on the furnishings of the new student union and its dedication March 7.

In October, editor Shareen Kerby and associ-ate editor Becky Wewers traveled to Little Rock with advisor Jerry Atkinson for a meeting of the Arkansas Collegiate Publications Association.

Working in conjunction with the editors and photographer Alan Barnett were staff members Glenn Giese, Monica Eckelhoff, Mary Jean Bradney, Steve Robison, and Sharon Glass.

Since the yearbook was completed before the new student center opened, the staff could not make use of its new office there, but moved in in March and began preparations for the next year's annual.

SNEA to New Orleans The Student National Education Association had a year full

of interesting experiences. Most notable to the club members was the trip to New Orleans for the convention in the early Spring. Other trips were made to Little Rock and local meetings.

Under the direction of their sponsor Mrs. Delece Gordon, the club was active in promoting the ideals of the teaching profession through monthly meetings and projects.

Bruce Vick, president of SNEA was recognized for his leadership ability as the club organized and carriedout an ambitious program of activity.

"Better Cooperation Between Members and Teachers" best states the whole theory of Westark's SNEA. The responsibility of the SNEA program is to provide opportunities for (1) personal and professional growth; (2) development of leadership skills; (3) understanding of the history, ethics, and programs at the state and national levels; and (4) participation in professional activities at local, state, and national levels, especially integrating programs of local associations and student associations. SNEA is the nation-wide professional association for college and university students preparing to teach. Members, this year, attended a SNEA Convention in New Orleans. Sponsor was Mrs. Richard Gordon. SNEA member Mike Bell makes a convincing sales pitch to

Laura Fletcher. The sale of these magazines was a money raising project for the club.

Ambitious Art Guild has money stolen

Oil paint, a common medium of art, lends itself well to color mixing.

A small but vigorous group, the Art Guild made its presence well known on campus by sponsoring several activities. Though plagued by such problems as having their treasury money stolen, they continued through a productive year.

As money raising projects, they sponsored several movies including a series of W. C. Field's shorts and a collection of art films. A sale of striking posters made from silk-screen also boosted their funds.

The Art Guild assisted the introduction to art classes in carrying out an art auction, and also worked in connection with Festival '70, a city-wide art festival held March 1-21.

137

Enthusiastic drama program uses drama club

Finalizing the set, Keith Dixon and Charlie Casper move the stove into place for "The Rainmaker."

Productions for 1969-70 showed the am-bition of the new drama coach, David Young, a graduate of Oklahoma University school of Drama.

"The Rainmaker," performed December 5 and 6 in the Fine Arts Auditorium, drew moderately large crowds in spite of the heavy rains.

The spring production was "The Mouse That Roared," by Christopher Sergei. A farce on the United State foreign policy, the play ran success-fully for three nights, March 19, 20, and 21.

In addition to these productions, the drama students did one-act plays and helped the student board sponsor the National Shakespeare Com-pany's offering of "McBeth" at the municipal auditorium on March 31.

Plain Lizzie, beautifully portrayed by Laura Fletcher, was the central character in the fall production.

Two Clubs Merge

Engineers and Physicists have much in common as do the Engineers Club and the Physic Club at Westark, so for the 1969-70 academic year the two active clubs have merged.

Working within the frame work of the math and science departments the clubs have found it advantageous to be united in their activities. It has long been the practice for the clubs to cooperate in joint ventures.

According to Bill Holder one of the clubs sponsors, the interest is keener for the engineers than when the clubs were separate.

Religious centers Three religious groups have centers adjacent

to the Westark campus, the Baptist Student Union, the Episcopal Student center, and the Newman club.

The Baptist Student Union began activities in 1968 but not until 1969 did they dedicate their facility.

The Episcopal center opened this year and the Catholic group continued meeting at St. Scholastica.

Various college officials join in the opening of the BSU. 144

Nursing club organizes Nursing students who are new to Westark campus have

formed a club that is affiliated with other nursing clubs across the nation. The nursing club was organized with the origin of the Associate degree in Nursing courses that are now offered at Westark.

With programs and projects related to the occupation of nursing and the fields of health, the club hopes to engender the type of ideals with the nursing students that will correlate with the nursing instruction given in the labs.

The sponsor for the nursing club is Mrs. Sara Edmiston.

146

Engaging in Nursing activity, Marie Sharum is a member of the nursing club.

Demos, Republicans, American Party inactive

Present on campus are three youth organized political groups which coincide with the national political parties. They are the Young Democrats, the Young Republicans, and the Federation of Young Americans. These groups have been very active in past election years, but were not

formally organized during the 1969-1970 school term. The general purpose of these clubs is to give students

a better understanding of the local, state, and national political systems and also to allow them the opportunity to work actively in connection with these systems.

Richard Hudson, social studies instructor, points out to interested students Larry Stewart and Alan Taylor the prospective gubernatorial candidates who spoke on campus during the Spring months. This political activity was sponsored by the government classes to give students and citizens first-hand knowledge as voters.
