governments, computer techs,
hotels and parcel services.
Students may bring their re-
sumes to the fair to be critiqued
by Sue Ellen Schlitzer, president
of Communication Dynamics.
Door prizes will also be given.
Science works the same way.
By' writing information down, stu-
“Activities are really important,”
he said. “They allow you to take
pieces of information and apply it to
knowledge you already have.” ’
The speaker demonstrated his
assertion by asking students to tell
him the differences between a dog
anda cat.
“It is important for the college
not to start summer school before
high .school students graduate. It is
also important for us to end summer
school before students have to leave
to return to other college’s,” she
said.
Carolyn Bass, Debra Price and
Betty White, all professors of nurs-
ing on South Campus, were recom-
Dr. Sue Ochsner, director of
nursing on South Campus, said in
her letter of recommendation,
“Betty (White) has been a major
contributor to the continued high
quality of skills acquisition by nurs-
ing students and to the development
of the nursing skills course.”
“Debbie (Price) maintains her
knowledge base in the rapidly
changing pediatric setting while
continuing to grow in the use of
evolving teaching strategies,” she
said.
“Carolyn (Bass) brings a posi-
tive approach and thoughtful analy-
sis to her work. She supports peers
and students through her department
committee work,” she said.
Robert McGee, board member,
and Dr. Gwen Morrison, board sec-
retary, moved for approval.
“The commission of higher
education received the college’s
notice about the name change and
has accepted it,” Dr. Leonardo de
you didn’t know already. You simply
organized your knowledge,” he said.
“Our brains organize informa-
tion into patterns,” he said. “By orga-
nizing your knowledge, instead of
having somebody else tell you, you
remember the information better.”
Assimilation is the last step,
Flanagin said.
“You have to start with the ba-
sics of a puzzle. Then, by doing a se-
• ries of easy-to-do steps, you will
“I’m not telling you anything complete the puzzle,” he said.
The district had 1,176 returning stu-
dents.
Students came from 33 metro-
plex school districts, 62 private
schools and many other Texas
schools, Cady said. Students also
came from California, Indiana,
North Carolina, Washington and
Missouri.
Students also came from
Mexico and China. South Campus ’ mended to receive tenure,
had three students from Mexico.
NE Campus had one student from
Mexico and two from Hong Kong.
Dr. David Wells, provost for the
community campus, said, “We want
to bring students to college so they
can experience what it is like to go
to college. We want them to come
back when they graduate high
school and feel comfortable.”
The district also has programs
such as Kids Summer College and
Transitional Skills.
Karla Hase, NE Campus dean
of continuing education and eco-
nomic development, said, “People
start lining up at 5:30 a.m. to regis-
ter for College for Kids. NE
Campus had approximately 750 en-
rollments by noon.”
Robin Winnett, board member,
and McClaskey motioned for ap-
proval for the master calendar.
Erma Johnson, vice chancellor
of administration, said the master
calendar is a community project.

al employment opportunities.
la Garza, chancellor, said.
Enrollment for the semester is
up, de la Garza said. Head count is
up two percent, semester hours are
up five percent and contact hours

Mission and the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF), which will consist of
dozens of crafts, so further research can be done with “accurate precision,”
Musielak said.
“I would say by the year 2015-16, we will actually be able to pinpoint
if there is life on these planets,” he said, referring to the research obtained
from the TPF mission. “Viewing these planets from space will be better.”
Voicing concerns over the joint space station currently being construct-
ed, Musielak said the station will be of no use for viewing these stars be-
cause of the precision of new computer telescopes. Basic things, such as
walking or movement inside the space station, could return erroneous data
or false impressions.
Computers have revolutionized the world of astronomy, as many pro-
grams and scripts are being used to take the place of the slow process re-
quired to plot collected data.
“We put the data in the computer and then we go have some coffee
while it runs the script,” he said.
Dr. Rayford Ball, South Campus natural sciences department chair,
said, “Computers will be doing most of the work of astronomers in the fu-
ture.”
■ Musielak, who has studied in Poland, Germany and the United States,
■has written more than 100 scientific papers on stellar astrophysics, astrody-
namics, plasma physics and chaos. He is currently working with scientists
at the University of Chicago and NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center on
“brown dwarf’ stars.
The speech was the second in a series of public science lectures pre-
sented by the South Campus natural sciences department. Funding for the
■series is provided by a grant from the Coca-Cola Company.
Campus’ science learning lab, told
students the three human nature-
based learning processes of repeti- dents are able to look it up until they
tion, activities and assimilation must have it memorized, Flanagin said,
be incorporated in order to compre-
hend science.
“We learn phone numbers by
repetition,” he said.
People write the number down
the first time so they do not forget it.
Each time they use the number, it be-
comes more ingrained in their memo-
ry until they know it, Flanagin said.
TCC receives $250,000 for scholarships
by Andrea Cagle
editor in chief
TCC will receive $50,000 a
year for the next five years as part of
a new scholarship program, Dr.
Ardis Bell, board president, an-
nounced at a recent board meeting.
Dr. Bill Lace, executive assis-
tant to the chancellor, and Bell at-
tended a meeting during Spring
Break, in which the American
Airlines Center Foundation donated
this money to TCC.
“Scholarships are not from
American Airlines directly,” Lace
said. “American Airlines is estab-
lishing a new arena in Dallas, which
will have its own board of direc-
tors.”
“American Airlines set the
scholarships up, but they will not
control them,” he said. “The details
have not been worked out.”
College for Kids, approval of
the master calendar and awarding of
faculty tenure were also among top-
ics of the board meeting.
Last summer, College for Kids
hit its highest point with a total of
2,633 students across the district,
Dr. Mike Cady, dean of continuing
education and economic develop-
ment on South Campus, said.
NE Campus had the highest
number of students with 1,174, NW
Campus had 252, South Campus
had 656 and SE Campus had 551.
Brain surgery not necessary to pass science
by Theresia Hallmark
south news editor
Brain surgery is not necessary to
pass a science course, South Campus
students were told at a recent College
Student Survival Seminar (CSSS).
“I feel this topic is important be-
cause comprehensive and integrative
skills must come into play in order to
pass a science course,” Annie
Dobbins, South Campus counselor,
said.
Joe Flanagin, director of South
I O rk force (continued from page 1)
“We (TCC) are looking at starting a new program in approximately
one year,” he said. “We get the word out about these programs by calling
city and ethnic chambers of commerce.”
“The college receives calls daily about our workforce program,” he
said.
■ The new program will include about 40 companies, and TCC will try
■ to limit it to manufacturing and mechanical type companies, Stewart said.
With this new program, the companies do not have to be minority or female
owned.
