Once Upon A Sunday at the Lima Campus

The tree-shaded courtyard at the Lima Campus was once again the setting for the Lima Art Associa­tion's (LAA) annual fund-raising event, "Once Upon A Sunday."

Over 12, 000 art-lovers visited the campus to view the 95 displays set up by artists and craftspersons from around Ohio.

Several additions and changes had been made for this year's event to accommodate the large crowd.

The children's area was enlarged and renamed "Celebration of Senses," which included several hands-on activities for the young attendees.

Also, several food booths were set up to accommodate the hungry festival-goers.

Jazz musicians from the Lima area performed non-stop from noon until 5 p.m. The musical program included Innovation, Don Hurless and the Gaslight Gassers.

The First Annual Lima Sculpture Show Five red buttons sewn into the ground, a zig-zag

leading into the woods, and a treehouse emerging as the leaves fell. Visitors and students at the Lima Campus were wondering what was happening.

"We'll have to tell them they have entered a cultural haven," said Ellen Nelson, director of the Lima Art Association (LAA).

Mike Costello - "Ceremonial Space II"

Eight Ohio artists had been commissioned to create site-specific, temporary outdoor sculptures on the Lima Campus. The sculptures were viewed from September 7 through November 1, 1987.

Mike Costello's "Ceremonial Space 11" won the jurors' first-place prize and Lima artist David Lepo won the People's Choice Award.

A New Director and A Fall Production for the Theatre

The Lima Campus Theater Department lifted the curtain this fall with the production of three one-act plays and a new director, Kevin Hayes.

The performances were held on Friday, November 13 and Saturday, November 14 at 8 p.m.

Hayes, who holds master's degrees in Fine Arts and Education from The Ohio State University was hired in September.

Graceland was the first of the three plays. The comedy, first pro­duced in 1983, focused on two women, both wanting to be the first inside Elvis' mansion.

A psychological thriller followed the first play. Eris (The Night Peale) took place late at night on a bridge over the Hudson River.

The final show, It's A Sin To Tell A Lie, featured an old man

and an old woman waiting in a doctor's office. Focusing on the concept of truth, the story evolved into a geriatric lovestory.

Centers of Excellence at LTC

Two programs at Lima Technical College have been designated "Centers Of Ex­cellence" by the Ohio Board of Regents through the Selec­tive Excellence Program.

The Office Secretarial pro­gram was chosen as a Center of Excellence in 1985 and received the second install­ment of three in July, 1987.

The Office Secretarial pro­gram has purchased several Personal Computers, the IBM System 36, and has invested in professional development for the faculty with the grant money.

Also in July, the L TC Dental Hygiene Program was honored with this award.

Dental Hygiene Director Linda Lesher is looking at some video equipment, a closed-circuit television system and professional development programs to in­vest in with her grant.

Both programs will receive over $300,000 as a result of winning this award.

The Selective Excellence initiative guarantees finan­cial resources to strengthen programs; creates incentives for all public universities and two-year colleges; and pro­vides funds for additional resources that will raise pro­grams to excellence.

Not A Moment Too Soon The 12,000 foot expansion

of the Technical Education Laboratory is completed. Faculty and staff began mov­ing into the remodeled and expanded building on Mon­day, September 21.

Classes began Wednesday, the 23rd.

The addition provides bad­ly needed space for the engineering and business divisions.

The Ohio State University at Lima -Bill Kinkead picked the right pro­

fession. He looks approachable. So if you don't understand why x equals y or why 3y to the second power doesn't equal 78, you can ask him.

He looks sincere. I'd even believe him if he told me I'd use math again in the future.

The recipient of the 1986-87 Distinguished Teaching Award says he likes the Lima Campus because of the attitude of the students.

Bill said that the students at OSU Lima want to learn. "They appreciate the effort that is put into a class," he said.

Bill has been a lecturer of mathematics at OSU Lima for two years. He received his bachelor's degree from Clarion State College in Pennsylvania majoring in mathematics and his master's at Bowling Green State University.

Bill plans to pursue his Ph.D. in mathematics at the conclusion of this academic year.

Good choice, Bill!

Lima Technical College -If you've been around Randy

McCullough before, you will recognize his laugh. It's an infec­tious, happy laugh, the kind of laugh that you like to be around and Randy is the kind of person you like to be around.

Randy has been the Controller in the LTC Business Office since 1979.

He smiled when I asked him what he likes about the Lima Campus. "The people I work with are the reasons I like to come to work. Everyone is a friend," he said.

Before coming to LTC, he worked as a CPA in Ashland, Ohio. Randy holds a bachelor's degree in ac­counting and mathematics from Bluffton College.

"The different activities the College is involved with and the different people I deal with make my job really interesting," he said.

If you have a problem or question for the business office, give Randy a call. Don't be surprised if you can't get a hold of him right away, he'll probably be helping someone else.

Randy and his wife Kim, live in his hometown of Pandora in Putnam County. They have four children: Karen, Kristen, Ben and Sam.

Machor Publishes Pastoral Cities: Urban Ideals and the

Symbolic Landscape of America is a new book published by James Machor, Associate Professor of English.

The book, recently released by the Univer­sity of Wisconsin Press, focuses on American conceptions of and responses to urbanization in light of our culture's fascination with nature and rural values.

Machor explores a wide range of material, from urban plans and travel narratives to sermons, novels, and poems.

"This urban-pastoral ideal is of particular interest because it has played an important role in our evolving national identity," says Machor.

"In America today, the ideal continues to have a major influence in urban park plan­ning, in home design, in the works of major authors, and in the imagery of popular media," Machor added.

Dietetics Gets Okay The Dietetic Technology Program at L TC

has received final approval from the American Dietetic Association (ADA).

The program offers two associate degree majors and a one-year certificate option.

In May 1987, the Nutrition Care program received approval and in August, the Foodservice Management major got the go­ahead from the ADA.

The one-year certificate program was ap­proved by the Dietary Managers Association in 1986.

The Dietetic Technician Program was developed in 1986 because of community demand.

''The increasing demand for wellness and preventative health care as well as federal re­quirements for health care facilities has in­creased opportunities in this field," said Maxine McCabria, Director of the Dietetics program.
