via television
John Kenneth Galbraith
will teach for Westark
Residents of the Fort Smith
area can now enroll in a new
•ecourse" through Westark
m unity College, with the insi. L*etor appearing
in
each
indent's home on television.
This is the first time Westark
has offered a course via television. According to Frances
Bedell, the Westark faculty
member coordinating the course,
the class should appeal to all ages
of people, even to the shut-in who
is unable to take classes on a
college campus.
The class will result in three
semester credits in economics for
those students who successfully
complete the 13-week course. It
will be taught by the internationally renowned economist
John Kenneth Galbraith, beginning in mid-September.
"Age of Uncertainty" will air
over K A F T - T V , Channel 13.
Dr. Galbraith not only is on-air
host but is author of the main
text, titled "The Age of Uncertainty." Naturally, his views are
included in the course, but the
series incorporates, along with
economic thought, concepts from
history,
sociology,
political
science,
and
general
social
sciences.
The class is Jis^d on the fall
semester schedule as "Economics
2903: The Age of Uncertainty."
"The course is tremendously exciting in content," said Mrs.
Bedell, who has previewed portions of the segment.
The course is scheduled to be
aired at 9 p.m. on Thursdays,
with a repeat of the Thursday
program on Sunday afternoons
at 4 p.m. Starting date is Sept. 22.
Other Westark instructors are
also enthusiastic about the course
and expect a wide cross-section of
current Westark students to
enroll, as well as individuals from
the community who are not
otherwise
enrolled
in
any
Westark class or program.
The visual portion of the
course along will prove to be
exciting to those watching, according to Mrs. Bedell, since it was
filmed at many locations in 19
countries. Dr. Galbraith's participation will also be a drawing
card.
Dr. Galbraith is recognized as
one of the preeminent economists
of the 20th century. Widely
respected
in
international
academic circles, he enjoys broad
experience in various areas o f
government, having translated
economic theory into global
political and social fact.
Born in Ontario, Canada, he
was educated at the University of
Toronto and took his Ph. D. at
the University of California in
Berkeley, then went on to become
Social Science Research Council
Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He has taught at Harvard
as the
Paul
M.
Warburg
Professor
Economics, at the
University of California, at
Princeton and at Trinity College,
Cambridge.
Professor
Galbraith
was
Deputy / Administrator of the Office of Price Administration
which organized the -wartime
system of price control during
World War II. Later, he became a
director of the U. S. Strategic
Bombing Sufvey.
Between 1961 and 1963, Dr.
Galbraith
was
appointed
American Ambassador to India
by President John F. Kennedy
and during the Chinese-India
border conflicts of 1962, he was in
charge of American policy. He
also served as advisor to the
governments of Pakistan and
Ceylon.
The entire series is supported
with Galbraith's own text, plus a
b o o k of readings compiled by the
University of California, and a
study guide prepared by Coast
Community College District in
Costa Mesa, Calif,
New program started for secretaries
Westark Community College
and the Fort Smith Area Chapter
of
the National
Secretaries
Association are cooperating in a
two-year-program which will
prepare individuals to sit for the
C.P.S. examination, a secretarial
certification similar to the C.P.A.
exam given to accountants.
The first semester of classes
offered at Westark will begin on
Monday, Sept. 12.
The first two parts of the instruction will deal with human
relations and business law.
Part I is entitled "Environmental Relationships in Business"
and will be instructed by Dr.
Gordon Watts, director of staff
development at Westark.
Dr. Watts also instructs human
relations in Westark's community services program.
Part II is titled "Business and
Public Policy" and will be taught
by Tom Daily, a local attorney
who instructs business law for the
college.
Frank Prosser, associate dean
for community service and c o n tinuing education at Westark, has
worked for several months with
the local secretarial organization
in trying to organize this training
program.
"The examination itself is a
very challenging one," Prosser
said. " A n d anyone successfully
passing
the examination
is
definitely a cut-above-average
secretary."
J o Secora, president of the
Fort Smith area chapter of N S A ,
is extremely enthusiastic about
the training program and the
Watts writes a success
Dr. Gordon Watts, director of
staff development at Westark
Community College, had an article published recently in the
"Community/Junior
College
Research Quarterly."
Cooperating with Dr. Watts in
the article was Oscar G. Mink of
the University of Texas at Austin.
The article is titled "Reality
Therapy and Personalized Instruction: A Success Story."
The basis for the article was a
three-year-old study conducted
John Kenneth Galbraith
at a community college in
southeastern North Carolina.
The longitudinal pilot study investigated the cumulative efforts
of reality therapy counseling and
individualized instruction on the,
control expectancy and success
rates of high-risk community
college students.
Findings of the study supported the theory that control
expectancy, achievement and
holding power can be modified
by instruction and counseling.
Dr. Watts said there was an
story
ongoing nationwide argument
among
community
college
educators and other persons in
the helping professions, centering
around whether or not academic
failure can be attributed to the
individuals or to system deficiencies.
Dr. Watts joined the Westark
staff in September 1975 as a
member of the guidance and
counseling staff at the college. He
assumed his current position at
Westark with the beginning of the
1976-77 academic year.
exam which will follow.
"Any secretary who is careerminded would want to find out
about the program," Ms. Secora
said. "In other parts of the country, in the larger cities, the C.P.S.
certification does have a great
more meaning than it does in
Fort Smith right now.
"For
instance,
in
Tulsa,
secretaries starting out with
American Airlines must have the
C.P.S. or they won't even be
considered for the j o b . Therefore,
they can command more money."
" T o a secretary, the C.P.S. is
what the C.P.A. is to an accountant."
Ms. Secora said the whole issue
evolves around the concept of
"What is a secretary?"
"The
National
Secretaries
Association considers a secretary
someone in management, an administrative assistant or an office
manager, not the general public's
idea of a typewriter-pounder,"
she said.
"Being a C.P.S. is a far cry
from being a typewriter-pounder
and answering the telephone."
Ms. Secora said several local
employers have become excited
about the program and the examination and are encouraging
their secretaries to participate.
The
National
SecretariesAssociation
is
a
professional organization with
aims of elevating secretarial standards by means of continuing
education, fostering programs
for personal and professional
growth and development, fulfilling the spokes-authority role for
the secretarial profession, and
forecasting changing directions,
trends and requirements that
affect office practices.
The C.P.S. exam is held once a
year in May throughout the
country and there are six parts to
the examination, according to
Joan Stratmann, corresponding
secretary for the local chapter.
She said a person taking the
two-day exam must take all six
parts. If the person fails one of the
parts, he or she still has four more
years to pass all of it.
The two-year program at
Westark is open to men and
women.
Participants in the program are
not required to belong to the local
chapter, however, the local N S A
would like to recruit new
members.
Other officers of the local
group include Imogene Burns,
vice-president; Joan Hambrick,
recording secretary; and Dyann
Cochran, treasurer.
The
local
chapter
was
chartered in November 1976 and
meets monthly.
Anyone who is interested in
participating in the training
program
should
register at
Westark by noon Monday, Sept.
12.

college.

Sex is hitting sports harder
than Reggie Jackson hits a
baseball and soon the conotation
of "Jock" will no longer be valid,
as women are moving into a
predominantly
male athletic
world.
Title IX of a 1972 law requires
that women be given equal financing with men's intercollegiate
sports.
The Law (if interrupted to
mean equal scholarships) has
been argued that it would cause
the American public to lose interest in sports as * commodity
and the erosion Of the high moral
codes.
This is in no way discriminating
against
women,
however, the question that
remains is whether or not wonmiji
are that interested in sports. I
Few have requested for the
opportunity to compete on t(ie
same level of competition.
|
The fact is few women have
been requested to compete on the
same level.
j .
Women's sports are not a new
and rising sport, for women haye
been in sports for years. It's the
opportunity for women that is
1
new and rising.
So without the help of financial
support women are unable to call
their sports a high level of competition, and must depend 0n
rookies to complete teams.
There is room for women m
sports which the Olympics have
proven, and the reason for my
concern it that there is too much
prejudice inherent in our system.
Much of a colleges athletic
appropriations come from student fees ,and women pay just as
much of the sum as men do, and
in most bases receive less than
10% of tlie money.
Something more feasible and
moderate! should be done, aftet
all moderation is the key tb
success. 1
I suggest each school should
individually make rational and
not emotional studies into the
feasibility [of increased spending
for women*
h
There fy; an injustice, and in
accordance^, our lawmakers made
a preventive law.
There is not a sport in which
women cojrnpete that is closed to
male competition.

r i s e r
Since Westark Community
College originated in 1928 under
the name of Fort Smith Junior
College, the school has developed
through many stages.
What originated as merely a
post secondary school under the
jurisdiction of the superintendent
of schools with classes taught by
high school teachers, has grown
and matured into a comprehensive, two-year public institution.
Westark today offers a wide
variety
of university-parallel
courses. It offers a wide program
in occupational training areas. It
has been and continues to be a
school on the move.
Westark has grown in recent
years to being the fifth largest
institution of higher education in
Arkansas based on a total volume
of students serviced yearly.
In five years, the number of
students
enrolled
in credit
courses has increased from 1,900
to over 3,300, the number of
students enrolled in community
service classes has dramatically
increased from 460 to over 2,800.
While no one can expect the;
rate of increase to continue iat
such an astounding ratje, the;
figures do indicate the growing
credibility attached to this institution. The figures may ev^jn
drop a little over the next several
years, but a leveling off is anticipated by all.
•
In 1965 the name Fort Smitjh
Junior College was changed to
Westark Junior College to increase the awareness that the
school was not limited to servicing only those in the immediate area. In 1972 the name
wa amended to Westark Community College to acknowledge
the existence of a comprehensive,
two-year college with considerable community appeal a^d
services. This is a grend with
many of the growing so-called
junior colleges throughout the
nation.
!
The philosophy of this institu- j
tion reflects the ideal purpose of a j
community college: " A s a com-!
munity college with an open-door
policy,
Westark
Community
College
is committed
to
providing, at| low cost, for the
comprehensive post-high school
educational njeeds of its students
and the citizens of the community
it serves. It recognizes that the
needs of any individual who is to
achieve his or her full potential in
present-day society are not only
academic and occupational but
also cultural and recreational and
that, therefore, the college must
be a center of the civic life of the
community. It holds, futher, that
the institution should be the concern of the community and that
the students, parents, school personnel, members of the Board of
Trustees, and the public should
cooperate to emure its maximum
effectiveness." \
While in reality these standards
are not being fulfilled to their
highers potential, the school has
made great strides in recent years
to continually strive to achieve as
high a degree of excellence and
quality in these beliefs as possible.

"Nooners" are coming
Did you get a taste of the
watermelon that the Student Activities Council was giving away
on Thursday, the 25th of August?
How about the ice cream that
was distributed on Tuesday, the
24th?
What's this? You say " N o . "
Where were you? The answer is
probably in class.
How about your club? Do you
have regular meetings or are your
meetings scheduled for just a few
minutes between classes?
How much business can your
club accomplish in ten minutes?
Wouldn't it help to have an hour
each week to meet and plan your
fund raisers, dances, parties, and
other activities?
If your club is a national
organization, there is also a
chance that there are scholarships
available that you do not even
4mow about unless your club is
really active.
What is a "nooner"? A
Hnooner" is really just any activity
that happens during the "noon"
period.
The Watermelon feed is an
example of a "nooner". Some
other
"nooner"
activities
scheduled for the fall semester
include:
September 14 - Larry Edwards,
Hang Glider Display
October 24 or 29 - Edmunds &
Curley, Comedy team
^December 7 or 12 - Paul Gurney,
^Pool Pro

* • These are just a tew of the
"nooners" that are scheduled for
your enjoyment.
What would an Activities hour
mean to you and how would it be
accomplished?
An activities hour would mean
that during one hour on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday or one
hour on Tuesday and Thursday,
there would not be any classes
scheduled.
> This would be the time when
your club could meet, the Activities Council could meet, you
could see the "nooner" shows that
you currently are missing, or take
that much needed break to

So there you are again.
Stranded.
Nowhere to go,
Nothing to do.
Just sit there.
The cry to Momma is not heard.
The little mind wondering...
"Momma, Momma, where are
you?
I'm frew."
IS IT?
There it sits
Just boils and boils
But you sit and watch
It seems like an eternity
You begin to get restless
But it just churns and steams
Oh No! Here come the kids!
"Is it soup yet?"
refresh yourself for the afternoon
classes.
Student Activities Council, at
their meeting on the 28th of
August, voted to support a peti-
tion 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 Student Council members are circulating these petitions and they
would welcome your assistance
and your clubs assistance in this
endeavor.

petitions and wish to sign one,

Hurry, we're already organizing our representatives for the

There will be a new house
going up in Fort Smith during the
next few months. That's not too
unusual, but the "builders" are
unique on this particular house,
since they're students in a new
program at Westark Community
College.
The college is starting a
building trades program this
year, with a completed house as
the end physical result of the
nine-month program. The major
goal of the program, however, is
to train entry-level carpenters.
The program began when the
college was approached by the
local unit of the Arkansas
Homebuilders Association. This
group was concerned that the
average age of the journeyman
carpenter is so high—55—and
that there did not appear to be
any young people starting out in
the field. They asked Westark's
help, and the program was given
state approval.
Instructor Frederick Hop said
only about a fourth of the instruction will be in the classroom, with
the remainder on the lot site.
The class will concern itself
primarily with the carpentry
phase of homebuilding, with
other work contracted out locally.
"The students will be exposed
to the theory of other aspects of
building, say, pouring concrete,
but they will not be too concerned
with any area other than carpentry, Hop said.
" W e will do basements in
theory in the classroom, since
there are so many lots in the Fort
Smith area that are on hillsides."
"It will be good for the students to
know how to construct a basement."
Hop is interested in attracting
people to the program who have a
certain degree of maturity and
who desire to have carpentry as a
career goal.
"Naturally, the homebuilders
are interested in students who will
complete the program, and be
qualified for employment," Hop
said.
The actual construction of the
house will take the full nine
months, which might seem like a
long time to other builders, or to
homeowners in the vicinity of
Westark's house.
" W e do this purposely, in order
to study all aspects of carpentry,"
Hop said. "Another thing that
might look strange to anyone
who knows housebuilding will be
the fact that we will use several
different principles of construction in the one house.
"For instance, there are several
types of headers above doorways.
In building a house, you use only
one type. But in the house we'll be
building, we'll use more than one
type so that the student can adapt
himself to whatever job he will be
doing later."
The Westark house will be sold
at the end of the nine months, but
Hop is expecting it to be bought
before it's completed.
"People will see that we're using six inches of insulation in
outside walls and several other
energy saving features, and that it
will really be a well-built h o u s e yes, it will probably sell quick,"
he said.
Students in the program will
study more than 50 modules of
residential construction, from
handling and storing building
materials, to assembling a wall
section, to installing a garage
door.
"Each student will receive a
certificate noting tile quantity of
hours he has spent on each
module, and the modules he has
satisfactorily completed," Hop
said. "This will teH a prospective
employer how much the student
has been through and how much
he has accomplished."
There will also be several safety
features of the program. Students
will wear hard hats, safety glasses
and the proper shoes.
The lot where the house is to be
contructed will be selected by the
Westark Advisory Committee for
Building Trades, a local committee made up of builders,
realtors,
financial institution
representatives, and educators.
Anyone who is interested in
participating in the program, or
in finding out more information
about it, should contact Hop or
Don Goodwin, chairman of the
technology
division.
Art gallery exhibits watercolor
According to Walter Minniear,
chairman of the humanities division, a collection of forty awardwinning paintings will be visiting
the
Breedlove
Gallery
at
Westark. They're being shown in
two separate exhibitions through
September 28.
These American watercolors
are part of the permanent collection of the Springfield Art
Museum. The Museum, located
in Springfield, Missouri, has accquired the works during fourteen
years of national competition.
These paintings have been
loaned to the Mid-America Arts
Allience for a continuing twelve
community tour during 19771978, by the Springfield Art
Museum. This Allience is a
regional partnership of the Office
of Arkansas and Nebraska State
Arts and Humanities, and the
Missouri and Kansas Arts Council.
This competitive exhibition is
one of three national shows held
fnnually. Now in its sixteenth
year, Watercolors USA, is said to
have increased the public stature
of a beautiful medium. It's a new
stimulas for artists, excellent opportunities to add works of distinction, and an outstanding exhibition of national origin.
This exhibition is a representative view of forty artists across
the nation. There are participants
from the Virgin Islands, Puerto
Rico and all fifty states.
There will also be an Artist-inResidence program conducted
with the exhibition. This residency will be conducted by Artist
Robert Johnson, who is the
educational director of the
Springfield Art Museum and
currently owner and director of
an art center, also in Springfield.
It
will
incorporate
demonstrations and lectures of
the history of American watercolor, and a workshop emphasizing the structures and techniques
of watercolors. It is scheduled for
September 20 and 21. (for more
information,
contact
Walter

Air Force tour Band
will stop for Westark
The public is invited to attend
the performance of the Airman of
Note in the Westark College gym
at 7:30 p.m. on September the
10th.
In 1965 Colonel Arnald D. *
Gabriel, Commander and Conductor of the U.S. Air Force
Band, conceived andinstituted a
new national touring concept for
the U.S. Air Force Band and the
Singing Sergeants which allowed
all concerts to be presented
without admission
charge,
thereby, providing all Americans
with an equal opportunity to full
experience the U.S. Air Force
and Singing Sergeants in a live
performance.
One year later Colonel Gabriel
extended this touring policy to
allow Americans everywhere to
hear and appreciate one of the
world's finest jazz organizations.
In the fall of 1976, the Aireman
of Note made their first tour,
which was a tremendous success,
performing in eight out of the 50
states with audience over-flows
and full houses.
Consumer News
If you rent the house or apartment that you live in you would
probably be interested in knowing just what rights you have as a
tenant under the law. You might also want to know what your
obligations are to your landlord. There are two good ways to find
out.
Arkansas Consumer Research, 1919 West 7th, Little Rock,
72202, has compiled and made available a 46-page handbook called
the "Arkansas Tenants' Survival Kit" and is selling it for $ 1.50. The
book gives you your rights, explains leases, warns of the risks of
security deposits, and suggests some ways to deal with stubborn
landlords.
To learn even more, attend the Consumer Fair on Saturday,
October 8, at the University of Arkansas at Little Rockand sign up
for the workshop on tenants' rights. There will also be sessions on
20 other topics such as Social Security, insurance, cosmetics,
nutrition, credit, funeral costs, child safety, everyday legal matters,
taxes, small claims court, and general consumer protection For a
Fair brochure, call U A L R at 800-482-9992 or the Consumer
Protection Division at 800-482-8982, both toll-free.
Basketball Lions
will fly high again
The ,77-*78 Basketball season
for the Westark Lions is just
around the corner, and Coaches
Gayle Kaundart and Jim Wyatf
are looking forward to another
great year.
Here are some of the reasons
for the very optimistic outlook by
the Coaches. Dell Bray, 6*2"
forward, Fort Smith Northside
and Arthur Banks, 6*2" guard,
Forrest City, A R return as
starters from a Region II Championship team of last year.
Elton White, 6'3" forward,
Dumas, AR; John Stewart, 6*9"
postman,
Charleston,
AR;
Chuck Putnam, 6XT guard, Fort
Smith and
Pleasant, 6'4"
forward, Louisville, KY return as
the lettermen, and all saw a lot of
action last year.
The coaches feel these returning players will form a solid
core, and provide the necessary
leadership team.
The incoming freshmen are
evidence of an outstanding
recruiting year for the Lions.
All of them will be counted on
to make a great contribution to
this year's team.
The freshman include: Alex
Bray, 5*9" ..guard. Fort S^Sth
Northside^ Ray Danal4%»#6"
forward,
: JosephV>%fe £s.
May wood, 111; Todd Dudlfe£6*5"
forward,
Paragould,
AK;
Monore Griffith 6'3" guardforward, Owensboro, KY; Don
Lewis, 6'6" forward-center Ar-
Gllie
mor el, AR; Paul Lienhard
forward-center, McAlester, OK;
Butch Parks 6'2" forward, Van
Buren, A R ; Warren Patten, 6 ' H
guard, Nielrose H.S. Memphis,
Tenn; Ricky Smith 6XT guard,
Fort
Smith Northside, and
Henery Childress 6'2" forward,
Fayetteville, AR; Joe Wilkins*
6*0" guard, Fort Smith, AR.
This year's squad has a lot to
line up to.
Last year the Lions were 25-8
and won the Ozark Conference
title for the third year in a row,
and they won the Region II
playoffs which enabled them to
represent this region in the
national tournament in Hutchinson, Kan.
The Lions have a very attractive and tough schedule this
season. On Nov. 15 they open at
home
with
Conner's
State
College from Warmer, OK.
Carl Scott's Aggies are always
a power in Region II.
This will be a great opener for
the students and area fans.
During
the
Thanksgiving
holidays the Lions will travel to
Burlington, Iowa to play in the
Southeastern classic.
Fcui v/f il\z trp Junior College
teams in the Midwest will be in
this classic.
The remainder of the season
will find the Lions trying to win
another Ozark Conference title
(4th straight) and another BiState title (2nd in four years).

doors
are opening
to everyone
As the school year beings
Westark's physical l o c a t i o n
department opens its doors to a
variety of activities.
Most anyone can find a sport
or activity he/she enjoys or has i
an interest i<i learning.
Over
ninety percent
of
Westark's physical education
program is geared toward having
carry-over value.
! All activities are individualized
except softball and basketball.
These two team sports have
been kept in the program because
o|f their popularity in the community.
In addition to the two above
the program also offers archery,
bowling, badminton, tennis (part
I & II), volleyball, physical conditioning,
tumbling,
modern
dance, square and round dance,
and for the less physically minded
Westark offers angling, (casting,
types of lures, films, and field
trips), and recreational activities
(card games to table tennis).
Equipment is furnished for all
activities.
Trim up, shape up, it's never
too late to learn an activity and
it's never too early.
Instructors in the department
are Bill Crowder, Gayle Kaundart, Mari-Ann Ray, Jim Wyatt,
and Harold Callahan.
