Summer registration begins May 26, first session not affected by hike

25% tuition increase approved by Board By Joyce Williamson

and Claudia Maile

A 2 5 percent tu i t ion increase has been approved by Westark ' s board of t rustees, and the ma-jori ty of s tudents enroll ing in summer and fall terms will be a f f e c t e d . S t u d e n t s f r o m LeFlore and Sequoyah coun-ties, however, will see a decrease in their tuit ion rates.

Dur ing the i r Apri l meeting, board m e m b e r s voted to change the enro l lment status of Se-q u o y a h and LeFlore C o u n t y s tudents to Arkansas s ta te

status. T h e board feels the residents of these two counties are in the For t Smith service area.

"They work and spend money in For t Smi th , said Dr . Kraby , Westark president , and we felt it would be fair to admi t them as A r k a n s a s residents."

The previous tuit ion for LeF lo re and Sequoyah coun-tries was $318 per semester, wi th their new classification as A r k a n s a s residents, the ra te will be $270, a savings of $48. T h e new rates go into effect Ju ly 1, but also applies t o those

s tudents who pre-registered earlier in Apri l , Kraby men-tioned.

The new tu i t ion schedule is as follows: In-district residents, up f rom $174 to $210. Arkansas residents ( including Sequoyah and LeFlore counties) up f r o m $222 to $270. Out-of -s ta te residents, up f r o m $318 to $510.

Tu i t ion income for Westark is es t imated at $1.2 million, roughly 20 percent of the $6.1 million ant ic ipated budget . Ac-cording to Dr. Kraby the f u n d s generated by the tui t ion in-crease will help pay costs for

addi t iona l p r o g r a m s including a microprocess ing compu te r technical p rog ram.

" T h a t p rog ram will cost us nearly an extra $100,000 this year for equ ipment and one new ins t ruc tor ," he remarked.

T h e f u n d s will also help t o cover upgrad ing of the present ma in c o m p u t e r system, the salary increases for ins t ructors and m a n d a t e d overhead ex-penses at the college. C o m p a r e d with o the r j u n i o r and four year colleges t h r o u g h o u t the na t ion Westark ' s tui t ion is con-siderably less, even with t he

increase, Kraby commented . Accord ing to Dr . J ack

Cut le r , Dean of S tudents , the first s u m m e r semester, which begins J u n e 1, will not be affected by the increase. T h e day classes will run fo r five weeks and the night classes will run t h r o u g h o u t both s u m m e r t e r m s . Regis t ra t ion fo r the

first s u m m e r semester begins Tuesday , May 26, said Cutler .

Regis t ra t ion fo r the second s u m m e r semester begins M o n -day, J u n e 29, and ends Tuesday , July 7. S tuden t s must pay tui-tion the same day they register, concluded Cut ler .

A message from the editors

Lion's Pride This is the last issue of the

newspape r this semester. There ! I 've said it. And there is someth ing exhi lara t ing and sober abou t this s ta tement .

It 's exhi lara t ing in tha t we've d o n e it; we've produced a semester of good newspapers . W e ' v e s u r v i v e d a l l t h e insan i ty—ours and others . We 've met the deadlines we thought we'd never meet , sur-vived having o u r perfectly good stories cut t o fit on a page, rose

above the rude interviewees tha t we secretly wanted to hit, learn-ed to accept t he f a c t — t h o u g h it h u r t — t h a t o u r wri t ing did need to be improved and decided tha t m a y b e — j u s t maybe —our advisor does know someth ing (l still have diff iculty with that) .

And it's sober in that this is the last issue of all these people work ing together . Never again will all of us be together , laughing, yelling, pout ing , m a k -ing u p and out , and generally

emot ions concer ing the f inished p roduc t t ha t bears the n a m e Numa '81, but regardless of how well-received it will be, one fac t remains . . . IT W I L L BE!!

I can't say this semester has been fun . M a y b e challenging is a bet ter word . (At least tha t ' s pr intable .) W o r k i n g on a year-b o o k , especially one fo r a school the size of Wes ta rk , is a f ive-day-a-week, e ight -hour-a-day j o b a n d picking up in the middle wasn ' t easy.

Mos t everything was a l ready p lanned a n d the a r twork was completed so I really had little unde r s t and ing of how each sec-tion would be pulled together to fo rm the book . S o in many ways I will be seeing this edi t ion of Numa f o r the first t ime right along with everyone else.

T h e r e are a few people who need to be thanked a mill ion

The Lion's Pride, the official student newspaper of Westark Community College, is publish-ed every other Thursday during the regular academic school year and once each summer session. Offices are located in BB109, Ext. 202.

jus t getting by. We don ' t intend to lose touch , but honest ly, since high school g radua t ion , how m a n y of your classmates have you seen?

So I 'm going t o say this now before I lose the chance: t h a n k you. You 've all been a p a r t o f me, a par t of wha t I was and w h a t I will become. I will miss you all.

t imes f o r all the long hours they've pu t in to meeting each deadl ine. G w y n d a Shields had helped me mainta in a level head in t imes of to ta l chaos and she has worked out some really creative layouts. She's been practically indespensable and I don ' t th ink I could 've lasted this long wi thout her.

P h o t o g r a p h e r s D a v i d Minchew and Chuck L a m b have been " O n call" a lmost 24 hou r s a day and have turned in some fantas t ic prints. Of c o u r s e , a l l of o u r s t a f f p h o t o g r a p h e r s h a v e b e e n coopera t ive and creative and deserve recognit ion. T h a n k s Guys!

S tuden t Publ ica t ions direc-tor T o m Wal ton (affect ionate ly k n o w n as Tacky T o m ) has been m o r e t h a n pat ient and hasn ' t given us any p rob lems as far as asking a lot of ques t ions concer-

ning progress. I 'm not sure if he t rusts us to do a good j o b or if he 's scared t o hea r the answers!

T h e r e a re m a n y o ther people who have cont r ibuted to the '81 edition of Numa and they will be given full recogni t ion when the b o o k is delivered in early Sep tember .

A l t h o u g h we've had our ups and d o w n in the Publ ica t ions office, we've managed to work together and p roduce what I feel is some very c o m m e n d a b l e work . It 's been a good learning experience and I've m a d e lots of f r iends.

I suppose the best th ing abou t work ing on Numa is the feeling tha t my staff and I have played a role in the f o r m a t i o n of a small par t of the school 's history.

Terri Scott Numa Editor

College-is it really all that it's chalked up to be? Or is it just an overly glorified learning center?

One of the main differences between college and high school is the wider range of people who attend. At first it's strange to sit in a classroom with someone's grandmother. But after you've gotten used to the idea, it's nice-secure. This change is what college is all about.

In college, people treat you more like an adult, and it is up to you to act like one. So you have to grow up and mature in dozens of little ways that you haven't even noticed before.

Some days you walk into a room and it feels new and different. But the room is the same, so it must be you that is different. Then you wonder how it will look tomorrow.

College speeds up this process of growth and self change. Here are the different ways that some students have changed and what they have learned while attending Westark.

Bettye Clayton: School is more fun if you get to know your classmates.

Wilda Johnson: H o w to sit down and study again after 39 years.

Bill Young: The definition of C O S M O S . Everything that was, is, and is to be.

Wanda Miser: The most surprising thing was that men and women have the same number of ribs-I always thought that men had one less.

Joann Jettan: How important an education really is. Perry Sharp: You have to learn how to accept responsibility. Craig Boone: To regulate my time between classes. William Christian: H o w to work on automobiles. D o n n a Steward: I have mainly learned how to relate to other

people. Robert Marks: How to put things in their right perspective. Leona Manuel: Friendship and self-confidence are two of the

greatest possessions a person can have. Gracie Turner: H o w to control my time better as well as how

to discipline myself more. Larry Ballard: How not to program F O R T R A N correctly. Kyle Daniels: H o w to get a hug from Dorothy Rappeport. Jimmy Carter: Typing is hard. Hugh Foster: You better watch out for flying balls and birds. Debbie Nichols: In Biology there is more than one way to skin

a rat. Linda Teague: I am not cut out to be a writer and I'm glad I

started working with younger children. Judy Cowart: I've learned a lot about criminology. I've also

learned that I'm smarter than I thought I was, and it's nice.

A message from the President Dear Westark Student:

As the 1980-81 academic year draws to a close, Westark has had another banner year. Our students have excelled in many areas. Student participation has enabled Westark Communi-ty College to have a first-class: newspaper, annual, student activities program, t h e a t e r a n d a t h l e t i c program. Westark is a

"quality" institution. Why? In my opinion the

students of Westark Com-munity College are blessed with an outstanding staff— people who are interested in and care about their students. Without students, Westark would not exist. Without a qualified and dedicated staff, students would not attend Westark. The partnership of dedicated

staff and students makes Westark a great institution.

We will always try to im-prove. As you leave Westark, do not hesitate to offer advice as to what we can do to improve our ser-vices.

Bes t w i s h e s for a prosperous future!

Sincerely, James M. Kraby President

Jacki Gaithe, w h o was edi tor of the A r k o m a yea rbook her senior year, will a s sume the dut ies of p roduc ing NUMA '82. She has f o u r years of high school y e a r b o o k experience. At A r k o m a , in add i t ion to edit ing the annua l , she was involved in p h o t o g r a p h y and her yea rbook d u t i e s i n c l u d e d t y p i n g , p roof read ing , writing copy, do -ing layouts , and t ra ining new

staff members . "I like some of the things

recent NUMA's have done , " c o m m e n t e d Jack i , "bu t it appea r s the b o o k lacks in some basic areas that I can improve with the help of a good staff tha t

I plan to recrui t ." She cont inued , "The NUMA

needs more copy, catchier headl ines, and better coverage of clubs. I've been d isappoin ted in those things in the mos t . " Jackie will a s sume her duties J u n e 1.

Accord ing t o T o m Wal ton , d i r e c t o r o f S t u d e n t Publ ica t ions , " the summer duties of a new yea rbook edi tor

are t o recruit staff members , a t t end workshops , develop a t h e m e , p l a n t h e b a s i c organiza t ional s t ructure of the book , select o r design a cover, endsheets and division pages, decide o n use of color , and take as m a n y faculty / admin is t ra t ion p h o t o s as possible ."

Desiree Newhart, a j o u r -nalism ma jo r w h o served as Fea tu re Edi to r this year, will take over as editor of the newspaper beginning in the fall. Desiree was involved with the Nor ths ide paper all three years, with her duties including "a lmost everything there is to do as a m e m b e r of a newspaper

s taff ." She wrote fea ture stories, news stories, f ea tu re co lumns , as well as designing layouts and assisting with pasteup. She also was co-edi tor of her j un io r high newspaper .

" I have many , many ideas," said Desiree, " that would benefi t The Lion's Pride and keep student interest in the newspaper at its peak . "

In discussing some of those ideas, Desiree said, "The Lion's Pride n e e d s b e t t e r n e w s coverage, bet ter editorial com-m e n t a n d b e t t e r - p l a n n e d layouts . I want to improve an a l ready good newspaper and s trengthen its weaker a reas . "

Desiree concluded, "I have a genuine love of repor t ing , wri t ing and pasteup. Being edi tor of the Lion's Pride would be the biggest step I would possibly t ake now in real izing my goals as a journa l i s t . "

In commenting a b o u t Desiree, Wa l ton said, "She ' s taken a real active role in the paper all year long and is the logical choice to take over because of her enthusiasm, talents , and ideas. I 'm excited for bo th of them and really look f o r w a r d to work ing with t hem."

Each edi tor receives a scholarship f r o m the For t S m i t h / V a n Buren Advert is ing Federa t ion .

Stephen Bagley was honored for his "Sixth C o l u m n " articles, the Sept . 25, 1980, "But, he has a car ;" the Oct. 9, 1980, "A week in the life o f — " , and the Nov. 6, 1980, "Or I guess 1 could - . "

J o y c e W i l l i a m s o n w a s honored for two f ron t page news stories which appeared in the Dec. 4, 1980, issue. T h e articles were headlined " C o m -mute r s not affected by gas shor-tage," and "Veteran enrol lment cont inues to decrease."

Michael McClurk in ' s photos for the center spread "Chi ld Deve lopment Center means learning, t o o " in the Oct. 9, 1980, issue was acknowledged in the Candid P h o t o g r a p h y category and tha t layout plus the Dec. 4, 1980, center spread

p h o t o layout on " S t o p the Wor ld - I Wan t to Get O f f ' were cited in the P h o t o Layout category.

O v e r a l l , t h e n e w s p a p e r received 14 awards based on the evaluat ion.

The Associated Collegiate Press described The Lion ' s Pride as "having good coverage of a variety of events. Most stories are newsworthy and up-coming events a re covered well ."

T h e A C P c o n t i n u e d , " C o l u m n s a re the best par ts of the newspaper . 'Slice of Life ' and 'Sixth C o l u m n ' a re con-sistently g o o d . "

Finally, the critique said, "Overal l , the f ron t page is clean and pages are well defined and consis tent ."

T h e two biggest weaknesses

of the publ ica t ion , according to A C P , a r e the lack of s tudent comment in f ron t page news stories and the overemphas is of f r o n t page publicity for ac-tivities. T h e A C P said the newspaper should concent ra te on put t ing ' issue' stories on the f ron t page and 'keeping the P R ' o n the inside news pages.

In c o m m e n t i n g abou t the fall semester issues, director of s tu-den t publ ica t ions T o m Wal ton said, "The staff learns a lot f r o m these cri t iques and we try to complement the suggestions they give. We' re p lanning a special 'activities' page fo r next year based on the cri t ique and we'll concen t ra te on get t ing m o r e s tudent viewpoints on straight news 'issue' stories."

Faculty Senate serves as liason committee by Rebecca Parker

"The key word is represen-tative coord ina t ing body , " said D r . Lee M y n a t t , counselor and cha i rman of the Facul ty Sena te Commi t t ee .

" W e are composed of ten members ; the cha i rperson of the F a c u l t y A s s o c i a t i o n , t h e chairperson-elect of the Facul ty Associat ion, the immedia te pas t - cha i rman of the facul ty Associa t ion, f o u r elected Facul -ty Associa t ion members , and the cha i rpe rson of the o ther s tanding commit tees , which are t he A c a d e m i c S t a n d a r d s ,

C u r r i c u l u m , a n d F a c u l t y Deve lopment Commi t t ees . "

T h e main responsibilities of the commi t t ee a r e to "serve as a air ing board t o kind of bring to the admin is t ra t ion serious con-cerns tha t relate to facul ty welfare on campus . Also, if there is a discussion or if people can' t decide where the jur isdic-tion of a par t icular item lies; whe the r it's in Cur r icu lum, Academic S t a n d a r d s or Facul ty Deve lopment , where ever the concern may be, we will decide on which commi t tee should have responsibility fo r this.

We also m a k e suggestions of

specific things that need to be looked at to the var ious com-mittees. In o ther words if we see a p rob lem that needs to be looked into we refer it to the C u r r i c u l u m or Academic S tan-d a r d s Commi t t ee , and they in turn will make a suggestion or r ecommenda t ion to us and then it goes on to the Facul ty Associat ion.

D r . M y n a t t cont inued, that ano the r one of the respon-sibilities that the commit tee might be called upon to d o is serve as a commit tee for the hir ing of any first line Ad-minis t ra tors . " In o ther words , "

he said, "we serve as a liason commi t tee to the President . If there are concerns that people have we don ' t have to go th rough all the d i f ferent channels of this type of thing. Somet imes we jus t sit d o w n and talk to the President abou t some of the concerns tha t we have . "

T h e Facul ty Senate C o m -mit tee has worked on many items, but the one that comes to D r . M y n a t t ' s mind is the Forgiveness Policy. " W e had i n v e s t i g a t i o n s i n t o t h e Forgiveness Policy, as it applies back past a certain date, where

if you repeat a course tha t you did badly in the first t ime the admiss ions off ice will line it out on y o u r record and then they a v e r a g e t h e t w o c o u r s e s together and go ahead and wipe out the first t ime and this is the best t ime to br ing up your grade point .

Norma l ly the Academic S t a n d a r d s C o m m i t t e e takes care of this, bu t we as a body also dealt with it, simply to refine it."

T h e Facul ty Sena te C o m -mit tee as Dr . M y n a t t puts it, "Basically is a representat ive of the whole Facul ty Associa t ion ."

In F o r t Smi th , Eva marr ied a n d had five children. (One of Eva 's children, J a n e Pryor , is the counselor f o r Wes ta rk ' s in-te rna t ional s tudents . ) A f t e r her husband died in 1953, Eva went to work as a secretary in a local e lementary school , "so I would have the same hours and hol idays that my children ad . "

In S e p t e m b e r of 1959, Eva came to work at Wes ta rk .

"They started me out in the business off ice—then they f o u n d ou t 1 couldn ' t c ipher ," said Eva jok ing ly , "so they had me t ransferred me to the registrar 's o f f i c e . . . I g u e s s they f o u n d out I could keep records. T h e n they t ransferred me t o the president 's off ice and I've been there ever since."

Eva has seen a total of f o u r pres idents at W e s t a r k - r . E . T . V i n e s , D r . S h e l b y Breedlove, Dr . Ben Whit t f ie ld , a n d the current president . Dr. J a m e s Kraby .

A s secretary to the president , Eva is a lways on top abou t everything that goes on at Wes ta rk . But , somet imes it "gets lonely at the top". "I miss contact with t he s tudents ."

In her spare t ime Eva gar-dens . "I grew up on a f a rm so I enjoy digging in the d i r t . " She keeps a small vegetable as well as f lowers.

W h e r e does Eva p lan to go f r o m Wes ta rk? "I plan to s tay ," she said. T h e n she laughed, "unless they move me out the d o o r . "

Little Old Lady in Tennis S h o e s " seems an almost inap-p ropr i a t e title f o r Eva Pryor ; she's no t part icularly small and she's not very old either. In-stead, she's a ra ther tall and energetic woman—energe t i c because she has to be- she's secretary to Dr . J a m e s Kraby , Wes ta rk ' s president .

" D r . Whit t f ie ld ( W C C ' s president before Dr . Kraby) , is the one w h o gave me the mon ike r of "Li t t l e Old Lady in Tenn i s S h o e s , " " said Eva with a laugh.

" T h e way tha t came a b o u t , " she cont inued , "is this beaut i fu l old oak tree o n the nor the rn pa r t of c a m p u s posed a p rob lem because it was sort of a ' h u m p ' and Dr . Whit tf ield had ex-pressed his t hough t s abou t removing it so we could level all that a rea ou t , I had s t rongly opposed it."

O n day Eva saw Dr . Whi t t -field a n d o the r Westark ad-minis t ra tors s tanding a r o u n d the tree. "I s tood up in my off ice (which faces the tree) and shook my fist at Dr . Whit t f ie ld ," Eva admi t ted .

W h e n Dr . Whit t f ie ld men-tioned his plan of removing the oak tree to the C h a i r m a n of the Board of Trus tees , the chair-m a n c o m m e n t e d , "You can' t do that . You 'd have every little old lady in tennis shoes on our backs . "

Accord ing t o Eva, Dr. Whi t t -field replied, "1 already have

Excalibur by Valta Sexton

Spellbounding! This movie is special. If it doesn't win at least two academy awards I will be very

surprised. It's beautiful, vicious, lusty, and mystical. G o see it, it's worth you're time and money.

It gives a rebirth to the King Arthur legend. The movie fol lows the legend very closely, or as closely as a

two hour movie can without being a four hour epic. However, this visual experience is not a fairy tale.

The brutality is frank, as it should be. War, battle and jousting is not pretty. It's bloody, and stomach turning. Evil is ugly. Anytime one man is bent on destroying another, he is worse than any animal.

The opening scenes are used to get the audience in the mood , these scenes are much like the war in Viet Nam. Just as tough and vivid.

Merlin is the dark force that works to save the country. A King's lust for another's w o m a n leads to the birth of a new age. The child is promised to Merlin for his calling on -the dragon. After Merlin takes the child, the King is left to his own destruction Before the death of this king, he puts Excaliber in the stone.

Years later Arthur appears to withdraw the sword without much pageantry. After his startling coronation he's treated to the myster of the night. From there he goes on to become the great king he was destined to be.

The actors are familiar but not name big stars. The beauiful photography is soft where it's supposed to be and almost too clear where it needs to be. The art director was superb in his use of the period's common furbishings. These would have escaped most people. The make-up was a wonderful treat, such as the transition from a young man to stately King to gray haired sickly man to the victor over evil. The costumes are authentic yet not too flashy, not too understated either, with true colors and fabrics of the time.

When you see this movie watch the differet designs of the helmets, they seem almost endless.

I would not recommend this to under 17 year olds. It's too confusing. The story is not poured on you, you'll have to use your mind.

A little knowledge of the legend will help you to grasp the full meaning of the story.

Remember this is.a legend from a country steeped in folk lore and superstition. There are nude scenes, must tastefully done, however, one is an exception. The copulating scene is not a gentle love making scene, only a brutal physical act.

The magic is subtle and unsettling when the two sorcerers match wits. This is N O T the Walt Disney version, it's portrayed as dark and haunting, no purple dragons and magic wands.

Yes, go see Excaliber, you'll come home knowing you've seen something as good as any science fiction film.

SLICE ©r LIFE Life like the river flows

By D i A n n Ney

Life "like the river flows," or like a river flowing to the sea, may sound like the words to a song, but is also a thought combination of understanding the nature of life.

Life flows. It moves ever forward and onward, and this is both happy and sad. As it moves onward; one grows, one increases in the understanding of it, and one has beautiful moments. The human being eternally tries various ways to seize thesemoments and make them last. Because we have experienced these moments and they are etched in our minds and hearts and are a part of us forever, they do last. However, to hold on to these moments is impossible in the very nature of life itself. Wishing life to remain static is contrary to its very essence, contrary to the life flow.

There in lines the sadness of life, of course, and the knowledge of one's ultimate mortality. But, it is this very knowledge that heightens our awareness. The human being has the capacity to hope and experience positively in spite of the pain and sadness of life. This makes the beautiful moments more meaningful. We catch them like a falling star, and love them. Then with the knowledge of our capacity to withstand the pain and bittersweet in life, we let go.

The French call it, "la condition humaine." Life, often inscrutable, often in our limited way impossible to understand is simply meant to be lived. Any true peace, therefore, is the pace that surpasses understanding. We must live and let go.

You might try listening to Bruce Springstein's tape of "The River" to hear a lot aboui life experiences and its beauty. "The River" is an apt metaphor for the living and loving of life. G o with it, and flow with it, and it will take you to many wonderful places.

Wri te a co lumn now? Dur ing finals?! S u m u p my entire two years at Wes ta rk-dur ingf ina l s ! ! O k a y , but don ' t hold me responsible. Ha, ho, ha, ho (mad laughter) ha ho.

T w o years at Westark . I can ' t believe I did it (actually, I can; I'm just no t sure that I want to). A n d they said I wouldn ' t last pas t the first semester—If only I had listened.

Where did it all go? Look ing back, it seems to have gone by so slowly. But, it's over now; I m u s t venture out in to the real

T h a t sounds wonder fu l , but there 's still f inals to deal with. Why do f inals have t o be so final? It's like being told tha t you have a terminal disease and being asked to app laud .

Really, the whole idea of test ing is a bit silly. D o you really th ink that someone will stick a gun in you r face some-day , a n d then demand , "Quick , tell me w h a t kind of fish the

Minniear retires after 52 years

Music instructor known as "punster

By Madeline Humphrey

"I 've taught 52 years. Tha t ' s a long t ime," said Wal ter Min-niear a b o u t his ret i rement .

Minniear , w h o has been here for 12 years, began his career at the M o d e r n Music S tud ios of C h i c a g o at age 14 when he started t o teach violin.

Born in Chicago , his own educat ion began when he started the study of p iano at the age of six. However , du r ing high school he wanted t o be a mechanica l engineer. It wasn ' t until he was chosen as an al ter-nate of the Nat iona l High S c h o o l O r c h e s t r a a n d a m e m b e r of the Na t iona l High S c h o o l C h o r u s tha t he decided to m a j o r in music.

H e received his BS f r o m the C o l u m b i a School of Music and his M A f r o m Vande rcook C o l l e g e of M u s i c . A f t e r teaching in Illinois, Louis iana and Texas , he moved to Sh revepor t , La . , where he t augh t for 17 years.

H e directed the Shrevepor t Y o u t h S y m p h o n y and played violin and percuss ion in the Sh revepor t S y m p h o n y .

M in niear h a s been an ins t ruc-to r in music a t Wes ta rk and di rec tor and conduc to r of F t . S m i t h S y m p h o n y since 1969. H e also served as Human i t i e s Divis ion cha i rman th rough 1979.

L o g a n Green, choir d i rector , was the first contac t with Min-

niear. "I like to feel like I was the one w h o got h im here," said Green . "I was judg ing the S ta te C h o r a l Festival in Louis iana when I first met him. I 'm very glad that o u r pa ths crossed because he has been such an asset to o u r communi ty . "

Minn iea r had more to add

about that first encounter . " M r . Green wanted to hear our choir (Shrevepor t ) sing some rehears-ed songs but there was no time. T h e choir had their pictures taken and we were wai t ing fo r the bus to re turn h o m e when M r . Green came over. Well, the choir pe r fo rmed right there while wai t ing f o r the bus. They sang several songs fo r Mr . Green . "

A l t h o u g h Minn iea r is ret ir ing f rom ful l - t ime Westark respon-sibilities, he will still be seen a round the campus . " I 'm still going to work par t t ime. I'll be d i rec tor of the Breed love Gallery, teach the overf low on pr ivate lessons, be the college p i ano technician a n d , of course, cont inue as d i rec tor and con-duc to r of the Ft . Smi th S y m p h o n y . I don ' t expect to have much f ree t ime."

Asked what he would d o if he did find t ime on his hands , he said, "play m o r e golf a n d do m o r e fishing. 1 have m a n y w o o d w o r k i n g tools and I may expand my interest a long tha t line."

H e has also been keeping

notes over the years and hopes to pu t them together in book form. H e has ideas and titles fo r two books .

" O n e is a kind of m a n u a l on teaching hints and the funny things that happened in the c lassroom," he said. "I plan to call it '52 Years in a Note House ' . "

Let ters are sources of great sa t isfact ion to Minniear . He has received m a n y letters f r o m fo rmer s tudents who tell of their successes, o r just express their apprec ia t ion of wha t he has t aught them.

" I received a letter a few years ago f r o m a s tudent I had back in 1932. I'd like to compile all

these letters in a book I've titled ' W h y Teach? ' "

Minniear , whose past has been devoted to music and teaching, has influenced many s tudents . H e was also a great inf luence o n his five children who have all been involved in the music field somet ime in their lives. They all play several musical ins t ruments and all play the p iano .

In add i t ion to teaching, Min-niear has also a r ranged a n u m b e r of selections fo r the symphon ic b a n d , several of which have been published by Sou the rn Music C o m p a n y . H e also has some manuscr ip t s listed in the cata log of the Amer ican Society of C o m -posers , A u t h o r s and Publ ishers

( A S C A P ) . Minniear ' s accompl i shments

are t o o n u m e r o u s to list but his inf luence has been felt by s tudents and coworkers alike.

David Young , speech and d r a m a ins t ruc tor said, "I came the same year as Minniear -1969, a l though I left fou r years and came back. It has been very enjoyable . He m a d e it easy t o do your job. As cha i rman of the division, he expected you to do your j o b and you did it. He did not interfere but was very sup-portive. I 'm very sorry t o see him go. H e is known as a puns te r—you have to be careful wha t you say or he'll turn it into a p u n somewhere a long the way," he cont inued .

G w e n B r o t h e r t o n , Humani t i e s Division secretary, said, " M a n y of his answers are h u m e r o u s puns . It helps you forget abou t the serious, somber th ings in you r day. It helps keep y o u r heart happy. H e is also a good listener and counse lor—A many of many-sided wisdoms. W e love h im."

" H e is a g o o d f r iend," said Pete Howard , ar t ins t ructor , " O u r entire re la t ionship has been a positive one . "

He also had a c o m m e n t to m a k e a b o u t Minniear ' s puns . " S o m e of those p u n s are bad. Of course the idea of a p u n is not that it is funny, bu t that it can be m a d e at all."

T h i n k of a pun , Wal te r has spun ," L o g a n G r e e n asked J o h n

P r e a s , s p e e c h i n s t r u c t o r . A l t h o u g h the p u n s f low freely f rom Minniear , everyone has t rouble recalling specific ex-amples . " W e try t o forget them as soon as possible." said Green.

P reas came u p with an e x a m -ple f r o m the division meeting. Q u o t i n g Minn iea r , he said, "Old music ians never die, they jus t go f r o m b a r to ba r . "

Y o u n g also came up with an example f r o m a d ic t ionary game tha t is played in the Human i t i e s Division. Given the word tete, (p ronounced ' ta te ' ) Minn iea r came up with the defini t ion: tete; an inferior b r and of compass -as in he who has a tete (hesi tates) is lost.

T o m W a l t o n , j ou rna l i sm and speech ins t ructor , had this to say, "Hi s wit and en thus iasm are contag ious . I hope tha t someday 1 can have*the energy that he has ."

T h e subtle h u m o r associated with Minn iea r was being ex-pressed by everyone. Minn iea r referred to a s ta tement m a d e by his wife o n his 70th b i r thday on Apr i l 17th, "You ' r e 70. You ' re out of wa r r an ty . "

Minn iea r concluded, "The re is one th ing t ha t ought t o be said. F r o m the day I set foo t at Wes ta rk , I have considered tha t 1 hit the j a c k p o t . I 'm very gra teful for the respect and
