Theatre
Bogey's back and
Westark's got him
Here's looking at you, kid.
Westark Community College
will host a dinner theater on Oct.
7 catering to Humphrey Bogart
fans.
"Bogey's B a c k " features
Robert Sacchi. Reviewers have
called him the closest thing to
Bogart that anyone will ever see.
Sacchi looks, talks and acts
like the famed movie idol. He
brings Bogey back dynamically
and dramatically in scenes from
ROBERT SACCHI
"The Maltese Falcon," "Knock
on A*ny Door," "The Caine
Mutiny"
and
"Casablanca,"
along with Bogey's reaction to the
Seventies.
The steak dinner will begin at
7:30 p.m., with showtime at 8:15
p.m. on October 7, according to
Stacey Jones, director of student
activities at the college. Jones
said the 200 available seats will be
reserved on a first-come, firstserve basis.

Sacchi is a native of New York
City. He is in his mid-thirties, and
he stays booked as Bogart, a
character he has re-created some
1,800 times in tours of "Play It
Again, Sam" and in television
commercials.
He started his career on
Broadway as an usher, then
graduated to stock.
In addition to showing Bogart
in some of the famous roles.
Sacchi injects some of his own
comedy into the act, all in
BogartTs voice.
He has also played dramatic
roles in feature films, including
"Pulp" and "The Evil Eye," the
"Kojak" and "McCloud" television series, and is currently costarring with Rita Moreno in a
comedy feature, "Sshhh...Surprise Package."
Admission will be $4 for fulltime Westark students, $6 for
part-time Westark students, and
$8 for non-students.

Staffer displays her photographs
b> Robert Huston
Starting today there will be a
collection of photographs on display in the north foyer of the
Ballman-Speer building.
The 14 pictures were taken by
media specialist Kay Cummings
Kay has an Associate of
Applied Science degree in Media
Technology that she received at
Southern Illinois University at
Carbondale in 1976.
The photographs feature abandoned strip mining sites, old
barns and other rustic ideas all
done in black and white.
"I'm not in to color as much as
black and white," Kay says, "I
look
for textures,
unusual
lighting, geometrical forms, clean
lines and simplicities."
The photographs, taken with a
Canon
TL
35mm,
were
developted and printed by Kay
for a photography class in
college.
"I have no favorites but I prefer
landscapes over people," Kay
says.
The "Old Mill Window," taken
on the east coast near Boston in
1975, won first place at an S. I. U.
art and photo fair.
Kay, originally from Champaign, Illinois, came to Westark
in July of 1976 and is glad to be
here.
She likes the geographic region
for its scenic beauty and Fort
Smith in general.
"Arkansas is a comfortable
state but I miss my ta».
in
Illinois", she says.
Kay says she is a very secluded
person.
She likes to camp and go
backpacking, but she loves to
cook and entertain also.
She likes being self-sufficient,
not having to depend on others.
She
enjoys
photography,
classical music, and dances ballet
for exercise.
Kay has an Afghan hound
named "Bogie".
When she goes to Illinois,
Bogie rides in the back and "tells
me how to drive".
Kay plans to enter two
photographs in the Fort Smith
Art Center photo contest.
Being a photographer myself I
appreciate good work and Kay
Cummings work should not be
missed.
Chaffee d o n a t i o n kicks-off s o c c e r
by Deborah S. Murray
A school, which in the past has
mainly related itself to basketball
and baseball, is opening up to
more and more intramural sports
with the new addition of soccer.
Once used by the Vietnamese
refugees, the soccer equipment at
Fort Chaffee was no longer needed when homes were found for
these refugees.
Colonel Cross of Fort Chaffee
who wanted to donate this soccer
equipment to a worthy cause,
wrote an advertisement in the
Southwest Times Record for
someone who could make good
use of the equipment and also
benefit the community.
Stacy Jones heard about the
unused equipment and immediately contacted
Colonel
Cross at Fort Chaffee, requesting
that the soccer equipment be
donated to Westark.
There was some controversy
over who should receive the
donation.
After some discussion between
Mr. Jones, Colonel Cross, and
the Vietnamese Organization, it
was agreed that Westark was to
receive the equipment as long as it
would be put to good use with
community access.
Several sites have been
suggested, which have been
declined because of major insufficiencies such as no parking
space»
The decision will be left up to
Mr. J o n e s and the Administrative Council as to where
the equipment will be placed.
Locating a proper area will
take some time, but once found,
the equipment will be set-up and
an intramural soccer team will be
organized.
Westarkians once again can be
proud of their expanding and
improving college.

Homecoming
"And from the beginning there
was a homecoming queen to help
attract the 'old grads' back to
campus and to keep things lively
for the under-graduates."
"If a pictorial history of
homecoming queens could be
assembled, it would show that
ever-changing 'look' of the
American college coed—often
beautiful and vivacious, but
always wholesome and
intelligent.
Our school has the opportunity
to achieve national recognition
by being part of the 1978 Orange
Bowl Festivial.
From the local campus selections,
51
All-American
Homecoming Queens, will be
chosen, and they will bring
national
recognition
to
themselves, their schools and
their respective states by taking
an active part in Orange Bowl
activities spread over six days,
including a ride on the largest
float ever to appear in the
traditional parade, a special introduction
during
pre-game
festivities, honored seats on the
50-yard line, and will present
their school with a $500
, scholarship in the name of their
queen.
This panorama of Orange
Bowl homecoming queens is
designed to highlight an integral
part of life on the American
campus, the tradition of the annual selection and presentation of
homecoming queens on college
and university campus from,
literally, Maine to Hawaii and
, Alaska and back.
Wouldn't it be fantastic to have
our homecoming queen represent
Westark at the 1977-78 Orange
Bowl Festival?
It could be possible, however a
few changes would have to be
made on the selection of the
homecoming queen here and the
date would have to be moved up
to qualify in time for this contest.
As it now stands, the basketball team selects the candidates
and then choses the winner, this is
very nice to enter the Orange
Bowl contest the girls will be
judged on appearance, academic
standing, extracurricular activities and personal interest.
While good grooming and
other appearance factors will be
part of the judging criteria, this
unique
competition
will
emphasize those other attributes
that go to make up an attractive
person in the fullest sense of that
term.
I would kke to make the
suggestion that our next
homecoming queen candidates
be selected by clubs, the Lions,
the Lionettes and other school
oriented organizations on the
curriculum of the contest and the
winner be chosen by the whole
faculty and student body.
This could be done by first the
administration setting up a requirement sheet, then each
organization selecting the girl
they think most fits these requirements.
Then each organization would
be responsible to see that their
c a n d i d a t e s , and their requirements are known to all.
Let's work this so "Us folks
back home will have the opportunity to watch our respective
queen in the Orange Bowl parade
on New Year's Eve on NBC, then
two days later, we can again tune
to that network to see our home
state queen honored during pregame festivities before the start of
the 1978 Orange Bowl game."
Why is it unacceptable?
Although sexual experiences are
the normal actions of a human
being, our society considers sex
very intimate and personal.
Films on V. D. were presented
to Westarkians, by Gary Wicke
of the Division of Communicable
Diseases at the Fort Smith
Health Center, on December 14
and 15 at 9:00 A.M. in
Fullerton Union upstairs.
Gary Wicke was very disappointed after the films were
shown due to the lack of students
that came; the overall turn out
was not more than 10 students at
each showing, which were there
mainly because it was a class
requirement.
Statistics show that at least 2
Westarkians go to the Health
Center a week seeking treatment
for gonerreaha.
What am I driving towards?
I'm trving to stress the fact that
this disease does exist,
Gary remarks outspokenly, "If
you are old enough to play the
game, you should be mature
enough to handle any consequences."
I feel there was a poor turn-out
at the film presentations because
most think they have been "wellinformed" on V. D. in past health
classes.
One of the main reasons the
films were shown was to introduce V. D. to you and indicate
how a V. D. infection could be
handled, should one arise.
Nobody is immune to V. D.
the only sure way of not
catching it is to stop having sexual intercourse.
Truthfully, how many of you
are going to stop having sex?
D.A.M
V.D.
Seemingly, men are not worth
a damn, they are highly selfcentered and on a constant egotrip.", states Gary Wicke of the
department of Health, here in
Fort Smith.
Women, not only men, would
be terribly offended at this statement alone, so let me clarify.
This statement, which pertains
to the extremely serious and increasingly growing problem of
Veneral Disease, means men are
less likely to tell women of their
"hush hush" infection than viceversa. Even tho women spread
V.D. easier, it is unknowingly,
because there are few noticeable
symptons.
Blunt, you say? That is the
main problem; people are afraid,
they won't accept the fact that
they could have such a crucial
disease, which is very common,
but unacceptable by society.
"I love school.
I feel so much more alive when
I'm going to school.
It's also very exciting and it's a
step towards a better future.
It's a great opportunity; you
meet many different and interesting people.
School is a challenge and I love
challenges."
These were the words of Karla
Plymale in response to a two-fold
question I asked students last
week concerning both why they
are in college and why they are at
Westark.
She continued, "I chose
Westark because it's right here in
Fort Smith and it's so convenient
to get to.
Westark offers courses of high
quality, conducted by wellqualified instructors."
Charlene Breedlove stated her
reasons for coming to Westark
as, "It's close to home.
Going to Westark has quite a
few advantages, it allows me to
work and still live at home.
Therefore, I'm able to save my
money for when I trasfer to a four
year college.
I also heard this was a great
two year college, so I decided to
try it and so far I love it."
There are a lot of different
types of reasons why people are
attending Westark like Linda Andrews who said, "I have V.A.
rights coming to me so my husband told me this was the best
time to start college and Westark
was the closest to our new home."
faculty, they would not end until
four.
It would also mean that student classes would not end until
four, but this would only be on
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Tuesday
and
Thursday
schedules would stay the same.
At a "nooner" clubs could
meet, you could see the "nooner"
shows that you currently are missing, or you could take that much
needed break to refresh yourself
for the afternoon classes.
At their meeting on the 28th of
August, the Student Activities
Council voted to support a petition in favor of an Activity Hour.
If you have any questions or
comments, the council members
will be happy to try to answer
them for you.
Currently several of the Stu-
"I didn't know they had their
meeting already, I was thinking
about joining that club."
Has this happened to you?
Maybe a lack of members were
at your club meeting. This is due
lack of communications from
clubs to students.
The Collegian staff wishes to
help clubs and students to communicate in better terms, so we
have on our staff a Publicity
Editor, Eleanor Smalley.
She is a sophomore at
Westark, also the SNEA club
publicity chairman and will be
working with the clubs to help
their publicity through the campus newspaper.
The Collegian is also asking
D. S. M.
dent Council members are circulating these petitions and they
would welcome your assistance
and your clubs assistance in this
endeavor.
If you don't see one of the
petitions and wish to sign one,
stop by the Fullerton Student
Union in the Student Activities
office.
I think this is an outstanding
idea for the students and faculty
and that they should support this
petition wholeheartedly.
This intermission would be
Very good for the students and
faculty and would give them a
chance to meet old friends, and
make new friends, organize, relax
and....
Besides, who wants to miss all
the fun.

Publicity
Nooners
Have you heard, it's in the air,
the Student Activities hour for
the students.
A "nooner," has the council
lost their minds, on the contrary,
it's these very minds that are
working for a student activities
"nooner."
What is a "nooner?"
A "nooner" is really just any
activity that happens during the
'noon' period like the watermelon
feed.
What would an Activities
"nooner" mean to you and how
would it be accomplished?
An activities hour would mean
that during one hour on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday there
would be no classes scheduled.
However this would also mean
that class schedules would have
to be changed and instead of
classes ending at three for the
Gary Spain stated his reasons
as follows, "I attend college out of
a genuine desire to further my
education which of course is aimed at bettering my earning capacity.
I attend Westark in particular
because it is the nearest school
which I feel is respectable enough
to offer a program that will be
accepted universally.
I feel this is the ideal college for
my needs because it is a widely
respected school and it offers
courses and programs suited not
only to recent high school
graduates who will transfer to
four year colleges, but to older
students such as myself, who
hope to at least complete the two
year program.
The very qualified faculty and
very sound academic programs
here continually reassure me that
this is a quality institution.
I am confident that with a
successful academic record, my
credentials will be unquestioned
at any college."
Still others, like Roger Pinkerton, when asked replied, "I found
the people at Westark friendlier
than at other schools I visited.
The main reason for my decision to come here was that I felt
the first tow years of college were
the hardest, and a smaller college
would be a good place to adjust
from my small high school."
There will be more next week.

As everyone knows the
Guiness Book of World Records
has been an international best
seller f o r several years.
In course, the sixth column
offers in competition to the
Guiness volume, the Westark
Book of World Records, a few
pithy excerpts from which follow:
Highest sky-dive without a
parachute: An incredible 18,000
feet by "Lucky Don" Tannehill
currently a resident of Arkansas
(and Oklahoma, and Missouri,
and much of the northern half of
Texas.)
Heaviest object ever dropped off
the top of the Fullerton Union
Building and caught by an innocent bystander: A bowling ball
dropped by Stacey Jones and
caught by Dr. Sue Kincannon
(cards and flowers can be sent to
room 206, at St. Edwards Mercy
Hospital.)
Greatest speed ever attained on
a public highway: 412 miles per
hour, attained by Dean Jack
Cutler while coming down from
Mt. Gay lor
Greatest speed ever attained on
a public highway on purpose: 360
miles per hour, attained while
leaving town by Ken Butler, of
the auto mechanics department
who told Dean Cutler his brakes
were in fine shape before he drove
up to Mt. Gaylor.
Greatest number of chocolate
cream pies ever balanced atop
poles mounted on the back of a
man on a skateboard: 12 by
David Young.
Most ridiculous attempt to get
one's name !in a book of world
records: Daj/id Young.
The greatest height ever
reached: 425 feet straight up by
Mrs. Nancy Zechiedrich when
she sat on a whoopie cushion.
The greatest distance ever ran:
4,310 miles run by Harold
Calahan, oWner of the whoopie
cushion.
Heaviest amount of weight
held on a chest while laying on a
bed of needle-sharp nails: 1,142
pounds by President James
Kraby (as a word of caution
please steer clear of President
Kraby when he is taking in liquids
of any kind.)
American landmark which at
regular intervals expells the
greatest amount of heated air: A
tie, between Old Faithful Geyser
of Yellowstone Park and Tom
Walton, instructor of Speech and
Journalism.
Hardest word in the English
language to spell: Paralell.
The Collegian
Staff has
dedicated page three to the
humor of the faculty and
students, and as editor I would
like to have my two-cents put in.
I hope this will find the enjoyment of all the students and
faculty from issue to issue.

like the opinion of the student
body before taking the matter to
the administration.
Please voice your opinion by
writing it up and dropping it in
the suggestion box in front of the
Student Activities office in the
Fullerton Union.
The dance would be held disco
style in the Union and would be
great fun for everyone during
their lunch break.
Lets get this dance rolling,

Try outs and crewcalls for the
production
"Scratch,"
by
Archibald MacLeish, will be
held on Tuesday, September
27th, at 8:00 p.m., and Wednesday, September, 28th at 7:00
p.m., in the Breedlove Theatre.
The Play will be produced by
Director David Young, who is
the Theatre, and speech instructor at Westark.
Mr. Young was formerly a
Director for the
Ponca
Playhouse,
and had taught
theatre at Westark in earlier
years.
The production da^e is set for
November 17th thru the 19th.
Archibald MacLeish's new
play is set in 1850 but has importance to all times.
In order the preserve the union,
Daniel Webster has voted for the
abhorrent Fugitive Slave Act and
put political expediency above
act
together
human rights. Then in the magic
of the MacLeish play, Jabez
Stone, a desperate debt-ridden
farmer who sold himself to the
devil, or "Scratch" as he's called,
for seven years of prosperity,
appeals to Webster to save the
soul he bartered away.
And now Webs: r is faced with
putting the man before the law.
An epic battle is then fought in
an old barn at night before a jury
of A m e r i c a n t r a i t o r s and
murderers summoned from Hell
by Scratch.
The shrewd and witty Scratch
is a formidable adversary, and as
Webster fights to save the imperfect Jabez, it's clear that he's
really fighting to save his country.
As a leading critic summed up,
"It's aspirations are high and its
purposes affirmative.
The play will require two sets:
the first scene is set in front of
Stone's barn at night, with the
trial scene inside Stone's barn.
The four Principal roles are all
men: Jabez Stone, a new England
farmer who has sold his soul to
the devil in return for seven years
prosperity; Scratch, the De^il,
who has come to claim Stone's
soul; Daniel Webster, the famed
American Secretary ' f State,
who is being cal1ed i
- :owina
reprieve for Stone; The judge; A
guitarist-singer; and a jury, a
collection of the worst representatives of American Citizens,
such as Benedict Arnold
The crewcalls will consist of
many people to help construct
and paint the scene; a lights crew,
who will help hang and run lights;
costumers, who will be working
with the mid 1800's period; and a
crew to gather properties.
The community and the
students are encourage to come
to the tryouts, and if you are
trying for a part it has been
recommended that you come
with a prepared scene, but it is not
for
required.
The prepared play will be going
to the Little Rock American
College Theatre Festival in late
November and early December.
The A.C.T.F. gives national
recognition to the twenty-three
hundred college and university
theatres throughout the United
States and the more than one
hundred and fifty thousand
students enrolled in formal
classes in theatre arts.

directors, and as audience in their

Mr. Young hopes to present
"Star Spangled Girl" for his Spring production.
The
Veteran's
Corner
by Fae Connor
Tuesday, September 13,1 sat in on a meeting of a group of students
that were in the process of organizing a veterans club at Westark.
This was a very laudible group, and I feel, one of the Special Interest
groups at Westark that should be recognized.
Veterans are not involved in most activities on campus for a variety
of reasons, one of them being the age difference, which calls for a
different type of activity than the younger student wants.
Currently there are 625 men and women on campus that are
veterans.
Out of the 625 only about 12 were present for the first meeting
however the group does have the potential for growth and promises to
do so.
The purpose of the meeting was to establish committees to prepare a
constitution, contact other student veteran organizations in the state
of Arkansas and to plan approaches to attract more veterans to the
next meeting and to search themselves and their veteran friends for the
true objectives of the organization.
Veteran's do not want to be just another club member.
We want to have a say in the spending of our tax dollars, and any
policy that effects the veteran student.
The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 27th at
6 p.m. in the Fullerton Student Union.
ALL VETERANS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.
For further information contact Dr. Warren T. Dodson in the
Veterans Affairs office; Richard Livas in the Study Skills Lab of the
Division of Developmental Education, Candace (Sunshine) Baham or
Fae Connor in the Student Activities Office.

Did you ever wonder just where your contributions to charities go?
!t is not unheard of for some "charities" to spend a large. portion of its
collections on outrageous salaries.
The Better Business Bureau can help you. The BBB has a list of
standards for charitable organizations, and it has a rating on hundreds
of organizations across the country as to whether tl.ey meet these
standards.
They check on how the organization raises funds, how truthful its
advertising material is, and how well it accounts for its finances.

Buying cigarettes by mail to save money may seem like a good idea.
But on receiving an order, the Arkansas State Revenue division will
inform you that you still owe taxes on these cigarettes.
The standard practice of mail-order cigarette firms is to notify the
state tax authorities of the names of people who order from them so
that the proper tax can be charged.
It could be worse. A North Carolina mail-order house, Tarheel Sates
Co., stopped shipping entirely.
The inspectors for the Postal Service have arrested four persons and
seized $200,000 worth of cigarettes and $ 120,000 in cash from Tarheel.
But those Arkansans who sent them oney might have to wait quite a
while before they receive even part of it back.
The Consumer Protection Division receives numerous complaints
from people who buy from out-of-state mail-order firms and receive
the wrong merchandise, unacceptable merchandise or no merchandise
at all. Trading at home is not only good for Arkansas—it's safer for the
customer.

Intramurals are a college way of life
by Terri Rice
The i n t r a m u r a l s activity
program at Westark is sponsored
by Stacy Jones, Student Activities Director.
The purpose of the intramural
program is to offer all students,
regardless of skills and abilities,
an opportunity to participate in a
variety of recreational activities.
There are four main objectives
of the intramural program. They
are: 1) organic growth and
development, 2) health, 3) skill,
and 4) recreation.
Organic growth and development is accomplished
by
providing an opportunity for
growth of students through
development of wholesome competition and enjoyable participation in physical activities in order
The
of IM
challenge
to become a more well-rounded
individual.
Health is a basic part of intramural activities in that they
contribute to the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of
the individual.
Activities contribute to the
physical health by actual participation n the activity; mental
health by the practice of selfcontrol and quick thinking; social
health through use of the "golden
rules"
of
fair
play,
sportsmanship, and high standards of conduct.
Skill is improved by participating in activities that are
enjoyable and that individuals
perform well in.
Recreation is an objective that
can be- reached by the point that
the program helps develop and
establish a permanent interest in
many sports and activities.
It is good to develop skill and
stamina for an activity; it is better
to develop social attributes inherent in the activity.
A student can sign up for the
intramural activities by stopping
at the Student Activities office
located downstairs in the Fullerton Student Union building.
Trophies and/or tee-shirts are
awarded to individual and team
champions.
Students and faculty both can
sign-up for such activities as:
horseshoes, flag football, bowling, archery, billiards, basketball
(both 3-man/ 3-girl and 5-man/ 5girl), table tennis, volleyball, badminton, softball, chess, tennis,
and many more.
Intramurals are for everyone.^
Announcing:
There are still openings for
individuals and teams to join.
First week results were: high
series - man/Steve Cope 585,
high series - woman/Kathy
Fraleigh 453, scratch high gameman/ Steve Cope 236, Paul
Kinder 210, scratch high gamewoman/Kathy Fraleigh 175.
Following the second week of
bowling, series and games will be

For a mere $2.00 a week with
equipment furnished, you can

Pennsylvania
by Karb Ply male
Have you ever wondered why
someone from a different state,
other than the four state area
comes to Westark?
A scholarship perhaps brought
them, or an old friend mentioned
the college, or perhaps its the old
Alma Mater of their parents or
relatives.
In this instance the Westark
Lions baseball team caught the
attention of four Pennsylvania
boys, three of which received
scholarships.
Different sizes, different likes,
and different personalities are
Greg Miller, Mickey Carey, Tim
O'Boyle, and Bobby McHale.
"I miss home, but I have a lot of
friends here and I really enjoy
Westark and the country side of
Arkansas."
Greg, eighteen, is a freshman
from Struoudsburg, Pa. In high
school he participated in football,
basketball, baseball and in
summer played on the American
Legion baseball team.
Greg plays second base; and he
hopes to receive a scholarship in
baseball from a four year college
where he wants to continue his
education, but he is undecided
about which college he wishes to
attend after Westark.
The dust flies as balls hit the
dirt at short stop, where Mickey,
18, a freshman scholarship holder
plays. Mickey
attended
Struoudsburg High School in
Struoudsburg, Pa. where he participated in football and baseball
and was awarded most valuable
player of 1977. Also in the
summer he played on the
American Legion team.

Mickey is working for
Physical Education major, so he
will attend a four year college,
hopefully with a baseball
scholarship, but he is still undecided about which college he
will go to after Westark.
With the homey atmosphere at
Westark and the Ozarks, Tim has
( ailed Arkansas his kind of place.
Tim,
18, a
freshman
scholarship holder, and a catcher,
attended high school at Pocono
Central Catholic High School, in
which he participated in soccer,
basketball, and baseball and was
awarded most valuable athelete
in 1977. Also for the past two
summers he participated on the
American Legion team.
With a Business major in mind,
Tim will continue at a four year
college

He also played with the Allentown Wings-Semi-pro baseball
team during the summer.
Bob is undecided about his
major, and about which four year
college he will attend, but he
hopes to go with a scholarship in
baseball.
The three Westark Lions with
scholarships had the opportunity
to attend a Pennsylvania college
with a scholarship but chose to
came here because they play an
average of 70 games here compared to an average of only 30
games in Pennsylvania.
They felt they could obtain
more experience and play more
ball here.
Coach Crowder was informed
on these boys abilities by the
Pocono Mountain High School
Coach, John Nauman, who knew
that a two year college like
Westark would give them the

to play
more
baseball.
The Collegian staff welcomes
these boys to Fort Smith and
hopes they have a winning
season.
