"The mind is but a barren soil -

"a soil which is soon exhausted and will produce no crop,

or only one, unless it be continually fertilized and enriched

with foreign matter."

—Sir Joshua Reynolds

p̂^^^^^••W^^wr^WTOBBB!

We arrived at this place

. . To find an umbrella of learning broad enough to cover us all. For each of us there

was a place set at a smorgasbord of education. The community college's purpose:

offer a program to meet the needs of the people of the Arkansas River Valley

surrounding Fort Smith.

"No doubt but ye are the People—absolute, strong, and wise;Whatever your heart has desired ye have not withheld from your eyes.On your own heads, in your own hands, the sin and the saving lies!"

— Rudyard Kipling

Our means of arriving varied, but out paths converged at the same threshhold. We are a conglomerate of the brilliant and

bored; the wealthy and struggling; the known and anonymous; the flashy, the shy; the radical, the redneck.

But commonly bound by learning

A good weld, a live wire, an improvement of skills . . . we were

here to learn the touch of excellence.

Opening the door to achievement

11

Crossing expression's fhreshold

We had to cry out, to tell what we had found as truth . . . to say our piece. These are torn times:

what we said didn't always make sense, even to the speaker. But we had to try.

12

Learning - the key to life's door?

"You meet a lot of different people from differerntbackgrounds and you can learn just from that."

'The best thing about collegethat it exposes you to more anddifferent ideas."

"I am taking advantage of opportunities to increase my intellectualcapacity."

14

'A new experience, a discovery in curriculum."

"College is a privilege not afforded to many people and I don't think itshould be misused."

"To study is

to learn,

to learn is

to know,

to know is great"

Learning is the goal.

Achievement is the word.

Excellence is the standard.

Insight and inspiration are sought for commodities.

Westark is the place.

And we (all of us ... student and faculty andadministration and we-the-people) are theones.

This is the Westark year

THE THINGS a person must do to keep the wheels turning .

In the dust and heat of August

. . . the doors of Westark opened to admit a new bodyof students to its environment. It was a new world forthose accustomed to the relative simplicity of highschool days, a world filled with the unfamiliar. Fromthe towns by the Arkansas—Oklahoma border came theseekers . . . looking for their place, for knowledge, andperhaps for the clues to their identities.

"Who am I?""What do I want?""Who will there beto see and like me as I am . . . who am I?" All aretraditional student questions.

And the more banal inquiries: "Hey, who do I seeabout. . . financial aid, advisement, forms?"

For many, the answers were held in the days tocome . . . revealed in flashing bursts in classrooms,drawn slowly from discussion and reflection, painfullyextracted by self-examination. The answer for otherswas but a languid drift from week to week . . . and stillyet others were to find years later that they foundsomething important to their lives at Westark . . . some-thing that was not realized then, in the year 1971-72.

PRE-REGISTRATION in the summer months let some avoidthe crush. Mrs. Jeane Henry, secretary, assists Pat Bryson.

Art Guild Members Advance to Modern Art

During 1972 members of the Art Guild centered their attention on the presentation of modern art. They experimented in painting, pottery, drawing, glassware, and sculpture. Realizing that art in its roughest form can be found anywhere, they emphasized the development of skill and interest in the various students who participated in the club's activities. A major project for the year was the scheduling of feature films on the history of art and artists.

JAMES HOWARD, art instructor, pauses a minute to make possible this picture of him.

this year from previous years by adding more advertising,becoming more professional, and assuming a stronger, andsometimes controversial, stand on campus affairs.

Crowder: OverallLion View Outstanding

The 1972 Lions opened their baseball season March 7by sweeping both ends of a doubleheader from College ofthe Ozarks.

The Lions returned six lettermen from an outstanding'71 squad along with several freshman hopefuls.

In an overall view of the '72 Lions, Coach BillCrowder said, "The '72 Lions were hard workers. Theirattitudes proved outstanding and they all knew what hadto be done. The lazy man or the one with a poor attitudecould not survive in our program. We always stressed 'youget out of the game what you put in it/ We were muchmore physical than any team I've had since 1965, my firstyear at Westark. By physical, I mean stronger backing,more weight and size. We were able to really attack theball with the bat and put the ball in play with authoritythis year. We were presentable in 1972, you can bet onthat."

PRESIDENT SHELBY BREEDLOVE

President Returns from Sabbatical,

Sees Year as Time for ReflectionReturning from a year of sabbatical leave in which he completed course requirements

for his doctorate degree, Shelby Breedlove, president, looks upon this year as a time ofreflection, a year of viewing and studying what has happened to Westark in the precedingyears.

"In this year we have conducted a detailed study about the institution which includedan intensive self-study as well as a long-range study of the role and scope of the college/'commented Dr. Breedlove.

In his role as president, his duties are of a versatile nature and include all aspects of theinstitution.

His problems are of a concrete nature, which include securing the adequate financial,personnel and physical resources needed, and of a more abstract nature, which includethrowing out ideas, challenging actions and following up the activities planned for theinstitutions.

In coordinating the activities of student, faculty and community organizations, it is hisresponsibility to see that their activities are not only to the advantage of the institution butalso that they involve all groups in the total institutional picture.

In essence, he is the final spokesman for the institution and he reflects its philosophy tothe community at large.

Studying and building were the key words to describe the year 1971-72 for Dr. BenWhitfield, dean of academic affairs.

Dean Whitfield and college personnel worked on the self-study required for Westark'saccreditation from the North Central Association, and he was in charge of a role and scopestudy to submit to the State Department of Higher Education.

Another responsibility for Dean Whitfield was planning the program, materials andequipment for the occupational-technical center.

As academic dean, Dr. Whitfield supervises all departments, the occupational division,community service and continuing education and the learning resources facility.

HAROLD CAMERON,Dean of Students.

Dean Cameron's Dream Comes True:Student Activities Program Expands

A dream come true was the case for dean of students Harold Cameron as a moreversatile and more involved student activities program was developed this spring. Throughthe work of Dean Cameron and Mrs. Carol Guffey, secretary of student activities andplacement and financial aids, the campus activities were expanded to a broader base ofappeal.

Dean Cameron also accepted more responsibilities in the area of admissions and recordswhen registrar Harold Hile was promoted to director of community service. Besides his workin activities and admissions, Mr. Cameron is also responsible for providing pre-collegeinformation to students, appraising applicants for admission, education testing, maintainingstudent personal records, interpreting academic regulations and student advisement.

BoardOfTrustees

Westark's board of trustees sounded a note forprogress this year with enactment of policies advancingdevelopment as a community college.

Perhaps the board's most significant decision was toshare facilities of the new Gardner Occupational-Techni-cal Center with area high schools. As envisioned, partici-pating schools would share costs and, possibly, Westarkstudents would provide some of the instruction. Theconcept was also advanced as a means of keepingpotential high school dropouts in the education system.

Another decision of the trustees was to seek approvalto change the name Westark Junior College to WestarkCommunity College to more accurately describe theschool's function.

Trustees commissioned Kenneth Cockram as archi-tect for a new fine arts building and took reports fromthe faculty committee planning the building.

AFTERWORD

Our continued existence in the mudstream of a society that onlysometimes understands us depends on us, men and women alike,coming to a better understanding of the ideas that shape contempo-rary society . . . ideas scientific, technological, sociological, eco-nomic, political, psychological, philosophical, literary, dramatic,artistic.

Whether or not the 1971-72 Westark students gained a deeperinsight into these ideas, whether the year had a meaning for us,depended on our own efforts and situations. For the ideas werehere . . . here, within reach, within a step through the door.

Special thanks to Marcia Woods, Collegian editor and yearbookconsultant; to Wes Kelley, business manager and a willing lunch-fetcher, and to Dean Harold Cameron, for listening.
