Administration foresees '83-'85 budget increases

New registration successful

Spring enrollment sets records

By Desiree Newhart

A 22% financial increase will be requested by the Board of Trustees for the 1983-85 biennium, according to Joel Stubblefield, Vice President for Finance and Administration. The 22% increase request was discussed in the Jan. 19 Board of Trustees meeting.

“W e’re going to be asking for an increase of 22%,” said Stubblefield, “but we haven’t put it into the final figures yet.”

The budget increase request will go from Westark’s Board of Trustees to the Arkansas D e p a r tm e n t o f H ig h e r Education, which is made up of full time employees. From the ADHE, the request wil go on to

the Arkansas State Board of Higher Education. The ASBHE is to a Board of Trustees and is appointed by the governor. Once approved by the ASBHE the request will make its final journey to the state legislature.

The increase will be 22% of the 5, 340,442 which is the maximum appropriation for the 1982-83 fiscal school year. (The 1982-83 fiscal year begins this- coming July 1.) Whether W CC will get the increase “depends on the econ om y ,” said Stubblefield. “ If the general economy goes up from here it’s more likely that we’ll get it. But if the economic trends go down then it’s not very likely.”

Luckily, for colleges in the state, commented Stubblefield,

“both the present governor and the last governor have been highly supportive of higher education.” The general make­up of the legislature is also an important factor in determining the likelihood of a budget increase.

Another highlight of the Jan. 19 board meeting was the discovery that the State Vo- Tech Board has approved W C C ’s Fire Science Techno­logy program. Also the board accep ted the chairm an ’s a p p o in tm en t o f N a n cy Llewellyn, Dr. Wayne Lanier, Conally Bedell and Sam Sicard as the Board’s Long-Range Planning Committee.

The next Board meeting is set for Feb. 16.

It takes only minutes instead of hours to register at Westark with the advent of early r e g is t r a t io n fo r re tu rn students. Several students were registered in as few as ten minutes, but some complained of having to wait as long as one and a half hours. Last semester one couldn’t even get an I.D. card in one and a half hours.

“This sysem gave sophomores a better chance of getting needed classes for graduation” reported C hery l P eters , c o u n s e lo r . S o p h o m o re s interviewed highly praised the new method, saying the improvement in their class schedule was phenomenal.

R etu rn fresh m en a lso benefitted from the new system of enrollment. Classes that could have been full by the time return students registered for them weren’t because of the w eek p ro v id ed fo r ea rly registration.

A new computerized waiting list program was used in this reg istra tion period . This program checked full classes for an opening, and then display a student waiting for that class. There is a possibility in the future of creating a new class if there is enough waiting for a particular class. Several W CC students have been admitted into classes that, before, they never would have known there was an opening.

Enrollment is up from last spring sem ester by 208 students. Last spring 3,132 students registered and this sem ester 3,520 students enrolled. As usual, more women than men registered, 1,699 male students to 1,821 female students.

Westark enrollment is down from this fall when we set a new record. Last semester, 3,678 students enrolled compared to this semester’s 3,520. But, the 3,520 is a record spring total.

What do you think?Campus finds used books too high

By Andrea Binns

Along w ith the beginning o f the new semester comes the d e p re s s in g , o f te n t im e s expensive, task o f buying books, Though many students com plained about the prices o f new books, when they stopped to think, they realized tha t the prices must be high enough to cover the cost o f shipping and handling, and the ever present fa c to r o f inflation.

However, W estark students generally fe lt tha t the prices of used books was a different story. W ithout the costs of shipp ing and hand ling to contend with, many students fe lt dissatisfied w ith the deal that they were getting.

Cherie Anderson: Book prices have risen sharply since last fall. I spent twice as much on books this semester. Used books are a little better deal but they still are too high. They should cost 1/3 of the original price.

Meryl Ware: Used book prices have gotten out of hand. First, they don’t pay you enough for them, then they mark the resale prices up so high.

Ginger Roark: Book prices are high but the mark-up on them is minimal. Inflation has gotten to everything including books.

The aboue are opinions o f a few W C C students on the issues o f used books.

SLICE of LIFEBy Desiree Newhart

Why is it that people often look at our clothing (all the way up and all the way down) before they look into our eyes? That question is not easily answered, yet it leads to many others. Why is the way we dress so important? Perhaps the answer lies in that the things we choose to surround ourselves with are usually extensions of our own personalities.

A friend of mine told me the other day that he often feels guilty because he judges people by their clothing and even by the way they look. “But,” he said in an almost desperate tone, “how can you avoid it????!!!”

I certainly couldn’t answer him. I only told him that he shouldn’t feel guilty because everybody does that same thing all the time—except most don’t feel guilty about it. And, in fact, most people don’t realize how often it’s done.

Being able to reach a plateau where it is possible to look right through someone’s outer surroundings (their bodies, faces, and clothing) and into their inner surroundings (their personalities) is near impossible.

Another friend of mine has the philosophy that “ it is only natural to be attracted by the beautiful and revolted by the ugly.” That philosophy is understandable, but in many ways it is unfair— people who are beautiful on the outside were simply born with that beauty. However, beauty on the inside is something that must be achieved and worked at. Too often people work very diligently on their outside while neglecting their inside.

When that happens we become just a bunch of faces, with rather pale personalities— mannequins.

How can we avoid judging people by the way they look? I have no answer to that question. But I do believe that if we try to love and appreciate others for what is in them rather than what is on them, we’ll all be happier— whether beautiful or ugly.

Letter to the editorA letter of thanks

Dear Editor:Sunday, January 16, the library was

flooded because of a broken water line. The library was open that Sunday afternoon for the students. However, when the line burst, it just happened to be right above a desk in the workroom where the new books were waiting to be processed were stored.

The library clerk on duty was Cherlyn Tudor. Also working was Glenda Cates, the student worker. They called me and then immediately started moving the new books to keep them from being destroyed. At this time, David Ingram, a student, came to the rescue of the “damsels in distress.”

As Director of Learning Resources, I want to take this way of publicly thanking David for his quick thinking and willingness to help. Because of his help, I am sure several hundred dollars worth of books were saved. Thanks, David. I really appreciate your help!

SURVEYWCC:

Help us improve!A newspaper—or any news source— must

be constantly changing, primarily because as human beings, we are constantly changing. The Lion’s Pride wants to know how you’re changing because we want to change with you.

In this first survey of 1982: the foremost question is: what do you like most/least about the Lion’s Pride? We want to know other things as well. Do you want more reviews? (And if you do, what kind?) What do you want to read about? Do you want health information or more information on Westark itself?

The survey takes only minutes to complete, yet it could lead to tons of information on subjects you’d never though you’d find in the Lion’s Pride, simply because we never knew what you wanted to see. Now, with your help, we’ll know.

Feel free to add any criticisms, comments, or compliments, and when you’re finished, deposit your completed survey in the box (which will be marked “surveys” ) outside Student Publications upstairs in the student union. Your results will be published in the next issue.

What, above all else, would you like to see in the Lion’s Pride?____

Meeks plans April lab tripFat fighters now showing

Library lists policies

By Peter Raymond

D avid M eeks , b io lo gy instructor, still has two openings for his Spring Biology Special Project; a weekend trip to the Ozark Underground Lab in Missouri. The “ lab” is actually a living cave, and one of the largest amounts of Biofaunas in this part of the United States exists there.

The ‘class’ will leave Friday morning, April 16, and return to Fort Smith Saturday evening, April 17. The trip consists of a three hour underground tour where participants will see organisms which they may not otherwise be aware of; plant life and animal life, such as Ozark Blind Salamanders and cave snails. There will also be a surface tour to demonstrate to the students the relationships between the water in above ground streams and lakes versus that which lies in underground areas, as well as general above ground to below

Another credit hour trip David Meeks is offering is Ozark Ecology. Ozark Ecology is offered each semester and is a 14 mile backpacking trip through Devils Den State Park. This will be Meeks’ seventh such trip. He wil take 25-30 students Friday, Aprill 23, and return the next day..

Three weeks prior to the trip he will require participants to attend a one hour meeting each week, where he will discuss b ack p ack in g and h ik ing techniques, as well as how to dress for the weather. Students will be sleeping in tents that night and willl live out of their packs that night and the following day. They will learn about ecology in the Ozarks and how the Ozarks were formed. Meeks says the trips are a lot of fun and he really looks forward to the trip each semester which is aided by the National Forest Rangers in the park.

what their Ozarks are all about and what a cave system is made up of,” he said.

The class is good for one credit hour.

A series of films on weight reduction, and guest speaker, Diana Plunkett, talking about physical fitness, are on campus today from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Fullerton Union to help show ways to get rid of unwanted pounds.

How would you feel to know that one of the largest single scholarships awarded to a student in this area had been w orn by you ? T e r e s a Vandervort of Van Buren possesses this honor yet she wasn’t even aware of it until recently.

“Cheryl Peters told me that my scholarship might be the largest but she didn’t say for sure. To me, it just didn’t really seem like a fact until I found out about it during the course of this interview,” commented Teresa about the scholarship.

Teresa received her $2,100 a year or $1,050 a semester scholarship from the Stuart Elbridge Foundation in an essay compeition sponsored by the Carnation Company for its employees family members. To enter the contest, prospective winners wrote essays on possible careers. Teresa wrote a paper on elem entary education.

“Ever since I first entered the eleventh grade, I’ve wanted to be a teacher,” she explained. “ I

always had wanted to work with people and not just sit behind a desk all day. Furthermore, I liked the idea that I was helping someone.”

When the essay results came in, Teresa was at work and her mothere had picked up the mail. They were both so excited that her mother opened the letter and read the results to Teresa over the telephone. She had won.

“ I w as so e x c i t e d , ” reminisced Teresa with a smile. “I just couldn’t believe it. No one in this area had ever gotten this scholarship before so it was like a dream come true.”

Now that Teresa had won the scholarship, she began to have doubts about her career choice. She talked to a few of her friends who had majored in elementary education and discovered that they were having a hard time trying to find a job in that field. This fact caused Teresa to become discouraged with this field of study. She changed her major to nursing after talking to W e s ta rk s tu d en ts and

professional nurses that attended her church.

Of this career choice, Teresa commented, “Though it was the high unemployment rate that ch an ged my mind originally, I’m not sorry. I still get to work with people and that’s the main thing that I wanted to be sure of.”

When questioned about her choice of Westark, she said, “First of all, this school is supposed to have a very good two-year nursing program. Secondly, I really wanted to stay close to home since I was kind of unsure about my career choice at this time.

The scholarship that Teresa received is renewable for as long as she maintains a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. If she maintains this B average, all she must do is write a new essay every year about her career plans.

When asked if she felt that she could keep her grade point up, Teresa replied, “ I hope so. Since I really do like the work that I’m doing, I think that I might. Every Tuesday and

Innovative Math Lab offers relaxed settingto start a Math Lab her second year, but she decided to initiate it her second semester instead, on a limited experimental basis. The Math Lab opened Friday, Jan. 15. and is operating in the science building , room 112. “Basically whether or not the Math Lab will grow and continue next year is going to be up to the students, whether or not they appreciate us having it for them and utilizing it,” she continued.

“What people need in this place more than anything is a place to go study,” says Joyce

Math placementBy Peter Raymond

A revised math placement test was initiated at the beginning of this semester, and is designed to help confused algebra students decide whether they should take beginning college algebra or regular college algebra.

Doyle Coe, math instructor, said that students enrolling in either course take the test the first day of the class so that they lose as little time as possible making their decision. The grading is done that same period so that any student opting to change classes will waste as little time as possible settling into the right program for him.

Also, accoding to Coe, begining college algebra and

initiated, toocollege algebra are offered during the same time periods so that the student need not have to worry about major schedule and class changes.

Westark will also keep accurate records so that in the future they may use overall re­sults as a basis for further test revision. A student who scores between 10 and 20 on placement test is generally advised to take college algebra. Lower scores suggest a math deficiency may be present and the student may opt to take beginning college algebra, a non-transfer credit course. Scores higher than 20 indicate that the student may be able to test out of college algebra and go straight into trig, calculus, or finite math, for business majors.

Thursday, from 8:30 until 12:30, we go to the hospital and do much of the same work as aides do. It’s so rewarding and it makes me feel so great that I’m willing to do the needed work to keep my average.”

O f the plans Teresa has made for her life after she finishes at Westark,” she said,

“This scholarship is still valid if I do decide to transfer to a four- year institution. I might transfer to UALR afterwards. I would like to go on and become a registered nurse or teach in the medical field. Whatever I decide to do, this scholarship will have been of an enormous help to me.”

By Peter RaymondWestark boasts a Math Lab

this spring sem ester for students who want a study- type atmosphere to come and work on math. This program is not like the skills lab, since not as much one-to-one tutoring is involved and the atmosphere is somewhat more relaxed. A qualified instructor is always present, but students are also welcome to either bring a friend to study with them, or just drop in for a second to get a little help with a problem.

The Math Lab, started by Dr. Odene Forsythe, is on an

ex p er im en ta l basis this sem ester but next year hopefully some budget money will come in, and allow them longer hours, more instructors, and qualified student help. She said, “Student’s usually learn a little better if they study together, so it presents a place where they can study together and get help if they need it.” Dr. Forsythe also notes that there “ seems to be some sort of a stigma to the students going to the professor’s office to get help.”

Dr. Forsythe started the Math Lab idea in Midland,

Texas, where she taught at Midland Junior College. She found that the students would go to the math lab to get help, whereas they wouldn’t go to the faculty member’s office. They felt good about using the Math Lab, however, because they knew it was ‘their room.’

There are no immediate plans for a nighttime Math Lab, due to the space problem and the lack of manpower, although Dr. Forsythe agrees that 8-5 during the day and 7-9 at night would be an ideal situation. When Dr. Forsythe was hired this year, Westark wanted her

Neil Simon’s classic ‘Barefoot in the Park’ was presented by the Westark Department of Theatre Arts on January 22, 23, and 24. The three act comedy, a light hearted look at two young newlyweds attempting to deal with their first quarrel, gave a talented cast the opportunity to shine.

Director Bob Davenport, assisted by Pauline Plummer, kept the delivery fresh and relaxed while skillfully building up to scenes of comic absurdity. The talents of David Young, Designer, and Chuck Gerardy, Technical Director, also helped bring ^Barefoot’ to life.

Lisa Lunney, as Corrie Bratter, gave a preceptive perform ance as a bride confronted with less-than-perfect housing, eccentric neighbors, and an overly serious young husband. Rod Henley, playing husband Paul, astutely portrayed the young lawyer who was so intent on appearing proper.

Tw o smaller parts were those of the telephone repair man and the delivery man. Steve Watkins made two breathless trips up five flights (not counting the stoop) only to be caught in the middle as Corrie and Paul have reached an impasse in their argument. His embarrassment was felt on the last row of Breedlove Auditorium. Bobby Huggart, the delivery man from Lord and Taylor made the most of his brief appearance as he accepted Corrie’s small tip with disdain.

Rounding out the cast were one of the neighbors, Victor Velasco, and Corrie’s m other, Ethel Banks. D esp ite an undefinable accent, G eorge Cabaniss did a magnificent job as Victor. With warmth and understnading, Cabaniss gave the middle aged Greek just the right degree of lechery tempered with humility. The show was very nearly stolen, however, by Libby Walton as the terrified but obliging mother-in-law.

Perhaps the funniest scene occurs as the four principals return from dinner at an Armenian restaurant. An effervescent Corrie enters with the indefatigable Victor, both collapsing in hysterics. Recovering, they start to make coffee when Mrs. Banks and Paul finally make it up the stairs and appear— Paul staggering in with Mrs. Banks slung across his back!

‘Barefoot’ is like an old and comfortable friend, and this cast makes the visit especially enjoyable.

Hungry? Have you been looking for a restaurant that has both excellent food and a light-hearted but elegant atmosphere? Then look no further, O ’Loughlin’s is all this and more.

I must admit that I was rather hesitant to enter the place. It seemed small for a restaurant and 1 had heard rumors of it being a bar. Well, the rumors were half true. They do have a bar, but it really was a restaurant. The decor is very comfortable, with high backed chairs and hardwood finished tables.

The menu features appetizing appetizers and savory savories from fried mushrooms, super baked potatoes to steak burgundy, and shrimp creole. If you think this sounds appetizing wait ‘till you get it in your mouth. I guarantee that you’ll want to order the whole menu next time you visit.

The afternoon I visited I had a little mac, not to be confused with a big mac. A little mac is a top sirloin steak broiled on a gril to tender perfection. I must admit that you can’t get a steak like this anywhere, not even at your local steak house. The luncheon menu is moderately priced, with most entrees under $10.

Neil Young often alternates his style from country folk to hard rocking blues. In his latest LP, re-ac-tor, Young has set aside his country cloak of Conies a Time and Hawks & Doves to lambast us with an electric “ state-of the nation” album.

Crazy Horse supplies incredible energy on all of the cuts. The sound is alive with compliments tossed from one musician to another, achieving that rare unified sound.

“ t-bone” , the longest tune on the album, is a funky blues number, churning out a two line plaint throughout:

/It was “Mr. Jones,//we’ve got to let you go//it’s company policy//you’ve got a pension though.../ /I put in my time//I put in my time//now I’m left to roll//down the long decline/

“ rap id tran sit” finds Young stuttering out key media words like mmmmmmmmeltdown, ccccccccon ta in m en t, and pppppppublic service, perhaps borrowing a bit from the “ W h o ” , who in troduced stuttering for effect in My Generation. In this song, Young makes im portant statement about the musical styles today:

Got mashed potatoes Ain’t got no T-bone

This rock-mantra exemplifies the state of most of us: W e’re getting by, but we’re not getting ahead.

“ south ern pac i-fic” is a strong statement on mandatory retirement:

/I rode the highball//I fired the Daylight//When I turned 65//I couldn’t see right/

SOUND

that each have found but back home another scene was going down in the night

Aside from the obvious nuclear implications, the title re -a c -to r describes Neil Young himself. Although he has observed the American situation ever since Rust Never S leeps, this new album is d ifferen t from anything Young has ever attempted, re-ac-tor is Neil Young’s reaction to these troubled times.

/No wave rockers//every wave is new until it breaks/

“shots” , the final cut on re- ac-tor is a barrage of noise. Static and feed-back, ‘a la Hendrix, set the modd for this apocaliptical song.

“A Mississippi Delta town of some 2,000 souls,” says Buddy Nordan of Itta Bena where he grew up, “with a significant population of Chinese!” As is the case with several excellent story-tellers I’ve known, even the base facts of his life have a made-up sound. “My best friend, Frank Chung, was quarterback on our high school team; we’d show up and the kids from the other towns would say ‘Hey, they’ve got a chink on their team’ and it made us play harder.”

Lewis “Buddy” Nordan, a slender, bearded man who looks slightly younger than his forty two years, is a writer of stories. He is one of the best, though he is not widely famous, yet, he is a powerful performer of his own work, who “ takes it to” the audience with the intensity of a hound throttling a rabbit. In private life he is an often self-effacing, but nonetheless quietly forthcoming man. It is not hard to get Buddy to tell you a story. Unless he thinks he won’t tell it right. He has profound respect for the story-teller’s art.

Buddy Nordan: 'rich enough to burn a wet bull’

Buddy Nordan comes from a long line of story-tellers. “People in my family are born providers-of-detail. If you ask my cousin, ‘Say, didn’t you live in New Orleans?’ he’ll tell you ‘I lived in New Orleans next door to one Earl Jones who was an aluminum salesman with a club foot who beat his wife on Saturday nights.’ My mother, my uncle, my grandmother were all story-tellers and we’d sit around for hours repeating stories we all knew, most of them very old. Sometimes we’d go all night telling tales of things that happened before any of us were born, but telling them with the same involvement as if we’d been participants in the events described. Occasionally, but only occasionally, new stories, ones from our lifetime, would work their way into the repertoire. W e’d sit around, maybe after a funeral, and someone would say, ‘Tell the one about Hambonel’ or Tell the one about Uncle Sammy and the blue runner snake,’ or ‘Tell about Horace McCarty’s free trip to Washington.’

“My mother, of all the family, was the one who never got the stories quite right— ‘Sally, that’s not the way it happened!’ someone would say, and proceed to narrate the proper version—and we’d get a good laugh. My mother’s versions generally had unexpected elements of the bizarre...actually they were wonderful touches.” (Since the “ one about Hambone” concerns a narcoleptic midget who falls asleep while committing an act of voyeurism, and those snores frighten the couple he’s spying on, causing them to shoot a rifle out the window thus killing Hambone in his sleep, I wonder what Buddy means by “unexpected elements of the bizarre” in his mother’s narrations.)

“ I guess we told stories because there was little else to do in Itta Bena. It was a town where you took a date to the dump to shoot rats with a ‘22.’ Once I found a gas tank from a car at the dump and straddled it and floated four miles down Roebuck Lake, this skinny lake in Itta Bena that looked like a river. There was an Indian mound on private property along the lake. I used to float to it on a boat and dig up artifacts—Indian bones, pottery— it was many years before I realized I was desecrating something. When the lake flooded it would drown whole chicken houses. The boys would have fights with the rotten eggs washed into the street. One time a hog drowned. One time my grandmother’s cow drowned, and because there was cholera in the county, the law said the cow had to be burned. It took a month. When I went off to Delta State, from which I was sort of expelled, I met a guy who used the expression, ‘Rich enough to burn a wet bull.’ I like to think thefirst person to say that was driving through Itta Bena when it came to him.”

******

Writing isn’t difficult, said the recently deceased Red Smith—you simply sit at a typewriter until drops of blood appear on your forehead. The transition from speech to writing is so difficult that few people, even of those raised in an oral tradition among “born providers of detail” make it. Buddy tells me of his childhood: “Mammy would thrw out the first line of a poem—Longfellow or the like—while we, her grandchildren, would sit there with chunks of ice in our hands. Then she would go around the group and we had to provide in turn the next line of the poem. The one who could hold the ice the longest, and the last one to correctly recite a line of the poem were the winners.” Since he first told me of this unusual childhood competition, I have several times wondered if it didn’t help prepare him in some way for the fiction writer’s peculiar excruciations, or whether this game isn’t somehow symbolic of an author’s conflicting needs to grasp and to let go. “I wrote my first story when I was four. I remember I wrote it in pencil on a Blue Horse notebook. I asked my mother if it was good and she allowed that it was good for someone my age. I said, ‘But I mean is it good?’ and she said, ‘No.’

“ I wrote my next story in the Navy, for the Christmas issue of the ship newspaper. It was a terribly unoriginal tale in which the last line revealed the narrator to be Santa Claus. Everybody on board said the same thing—‘That’s terrible!’ ”

He considers his first good thing to be “Cycling,” the true account of “ a doomed and horrible bicycle trip I took.” He wrote this at age34, by which time he had become “Doctor Nordan” which nobody ever calls him. Though it took 30 years to produce his first good story, technically and imaginatively he has arrived. In recent years he has become a regular contributor to Harper’s and Redbook. He has been twice represented in the Best American Short Stories anthology, and was last year’s nominee from Redbook for the Columbia University prize for best short story of the year. When not writing or teaching (currently at the UA Creative Writing Program) he reads aloud to his wife, Mary, who claims to have received a literary education by osmosis. He enjoys listening to stand-up comedians (his own work is often riotously funny) and is currently “ re-reading the classics, to study their technique, but mainly just for the information they contain. I want to know what Pyramus did to Thisbe.”

He is reading at Westark on Wednesday, Feb. 3, at noon in “The Attic.” Go hear him. And afterwards, ask him to tell you the one about the drunk tooth doctor. 1

The fourth-ranked Westark Lions lost thei, first game of the season Jan. 14 ’ t Seminole, 65-58, but have sine • m two games in a row and wul tiy to make it three tonight when they host the Bacone Warriors at 7:45 p.m.

Bacone comes into tonight’s game 7-12 on the year and 3-2 in conference play, their most recent defeat coming last Monday at the hands of the third-ranked Seminole Trojans, 86-58.

On Saturday, the Lions will be back on the road with a 7:45 p.m. contest at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M in Miami. The Golden Norseman are 15-6 on the year and 1-1 in the Bi-State under second year Head Coach Mark Sooter, who resigned last week to go into private business, and were picked by many , in the preseason to be the team to beat in the Bi-State.

The Lions, now 17-1 overall and 3-1 in Bi-State, began the new year in the Deep South, taking a 68-49 victory from Phillips in Gulfport, Mississippi on Jan. 7, and a 63-48 decision from Delgado of New Orleans on the 8. Freshman Tracy Steele was the hero against Phillips with 14 points and 5 assists while D e W a y n e Shepard had 11 and Glen Mays 10. Against Delgado, Westark needed 17 points from Glen Mays and 12 from Ozark native

Tony Hicks to overcome Rocky Arsenaults of 26 point performance for the losers.

On Jan. 11 the defending Bi- State champion Lions began conference play at Claremore in a game billed as the “Battle of the extremes.” The Lions entered the game with the stingiest defense in the nation, allowing only 48 points a game while Claremore boasted a 103 point a game average, the nation’s best. The old addage says the best defense is a good offense, but in this game the best defense turned out to be a good defense as the Lions held Claremore 55 points below their average while scoring 72 of their own for their 15th win of the year. Shepard was the high- man for Westark with 22, while Glen Mays had 15 and Reggie Martin 12.

Westark’s 22 game winning streak, the nation’s then longest, came to an end Jan. 14 at Seminole as the 3rd ranked Lions fell to the 5th-ranked Seminole Trojans, 65-58.

The Lions led by six points, 14-8, with eight minutes left in the first half, but Seminole outscored Westark 24-12 in the next eight minutes to take a 32- 16 lead at half, a lead they never re l i n q u i s h e d . D e W a y n e Shepard was a perfect 7-7 from the field and 6-10 from the line for a game-high 20 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Lions went down to their first defeat in over 10 months.

The Lions returned home to

the friendly confines of the Westark Fieldhouse Jan. 18, getting back on the winning track with a 66-57 victory over a stubborn Carl Albert ballclup. Westark never trailed in the game building up a 36-19 halftime lead then holding on for the victory. Reggie Martin was the team leader with 16 and Glenn Mays added 12. Ronnie Wilburn, a 6-0 freshman from Oklahoma City, led the way for the Trojans with 13.

In their most recent outing Westark jumped out to an early lead and held on for a 63-50 Bi- State Conference win over St. Gregory’s Jan. 23 at Westark. DeWayne Shepard broke the game wide open in the opening moments of the first half, scoring eight of his game-high 17 points in the first eight minutes of the first half to give the Lions a six point lead at 14-8 and they never trailed.

Lions fail to 4thThe defending national

champion Westark Lions fell one spot to fourth place in this weeks national junior college basketball poll. The Lions, 17-1 on the season and 3-1 in Bi State Conference play, picked up 81 points, 113 less than Three Rivers, Missouri, who captured the top spot for the fifth week in a row.

The Lions switched spots with Seminole, Oklahoma, 23-0 overall and 6-0 in the Bi-State, who moved up to third after handing Westark their first loss of the season on Jan. 14.

The Lady Lions, with a 3T3 overall record and a 1-3 record in the Bi-State Conference, will be in action tonight as they host Bacone Junior College in a c o n f e r e n c e g a m e . On Saturday, Jan. 30, the Lady Lions will travel to Northeastern Oklahoma to take on the Lady Norse. Then on Saturday, Feb. 6, they will return home to host Seminole Junior College.

On Saturday, Jan. 23, the L a d y L i o n s , a l t h o u g h outnumbered in players 15-7, o v e r p o w e r e d the La d y Cavaliers of St. Gregory by a score of 83-62. This was the first victory in conference play for the Lady Lions.

Debbie Davis-led all scoring with 29 points, 12 of them coming in a Westark scoring spree mid-way through the first half. Kandy Baker, able to get inside and up the middle, pumped in 19 points and Pam Fenter and Kelly Etzkorn, bombing from the outside, had 16 points apiece.

Although Westark controlled most of the game and held a comfortable 42-22 halftime lead, St. Gregory made a second half charge and cut the Westark lead to eight, 53-45, with 11:24 left in the game. But with Westark able to get inside and also hit from the outside, they held off St. Gregory and went on for the victory.

On Monday, Jan. 11, the Lady L ions hos ted the Trojanettes of Carl Albert Junior C ollege and were defeated by six, 58-52. Three Lady Lions hit the double figure mark, Debbie Davis with 17 points, 13 of those in the first half, Kandy Baker with 11 and Kelly Etzkorn with 10 points.

RICHARD II, a Shakespearean tragedy, will hit the stage of Breedlove Auditorium Feb. 2. The 2:30 p.m. production is free to students

Comedy presented Feb. 12

THE TAM ING O F THE SHREW is one of Shakes- p e a r e ’ s m o s t b e l o v e d comedies. It is hard to say whether this is due to the rollicking antics of a trio of suitors competing for the hand of the fair maid, Bianca, or the duel of wits that takes place between Kate, a rambunctious shrew, and Petruchio, the brave man who is determined to make a docile lover and wife out of her.

But it doesn’t really matter because, for whatever reason the play is admired and appreciated, THE TAM ING O F THE SHREW is a delightful, boisterous comedy which is unparalleled in sheer inventiveness and whole­hearted fun. Audiences have always revelled in the rowdy and spirited transformation of a sarcastic hellion into a dignified woman. Yet Petruchio’s rough but hilarious treatment of Katherine is all in the name of love, and advocates of the women’s liberation movement should not be offended by the me thods or ph i l osophy employed in the domestication of Kate, for it is a moot question as to who will rule the roost in the future.

THE TAM ING O F THE SHREW is a light comedy, full of action, merriment and warmth, guarantees to bring indulgent smiles and hearty laughter to theatre-goers of all ages.

The National Shakespeare’s production of THE TAM ING O F THE SHREW is acolorful, fast-paced rendition of the classic comedy. It will also be presented on Tues., Feb. 12 at 8:15 p.m., also in the Breedlove Auditorium. Call Ext. 269 for ticket information.

Shakespeare Companyenacts 'Richard I I'

Richard II is often called the most compelling of William S k a k e s p e a r e ’ s hi stor i cal tragedies. It is the all-too- familiar story of a sensitive but weak man who is forced to take on a role that requires a strength and severity he does not possess.

King Richard is such a man - he holds onto his crown by the skin of his teeth until he is confronted and overpowered by a stronger man, his own cousin, Bolingbroke. The tragedy of Richard lies in his inability to take control of his own destiny as well as the destiny of his nation, a problem that has striking parallels to many contemporary political situations.

But Richard has also been called Shakespeare’s poet-king and, indeed, he has some of the most beautiful poetry to be found in all of the Bard’s work, as when he comments sadly on

his abandoned state, “ let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death o kings” or when he rails against “ the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples of the king.” He is a man aware of his failings both as a king and as a man, but he is powerless to do anything about them. He is finally murdered by a man who is far beneath him in rank, intellect and imagination.

The National Shakespeare Com pany’s production of

RICHARD II dramatizes the stark themes of power and weakness that ae so vividly depicted through Shakespeare’s i n t ense and be l i e v ab l e characters.

The National Shakespeare C o m p a n y wi l l p r e s e n t R I C H A R D II in the

Breedlove Auditorium on Tues., Feb. 2 at 2:30 p.m. Call ext. 269 for ticket information.
