Derby Dolls Garner Blue Ribbons
At ETSU Dance Camp Competition
The Derby Dolls returned from a week of dance
camp at East Texas State University Monday. The
dolls won four trophies and five blue ribbons.
For 13 years In a row now, the dolls have won all
blue ribbons on “Evaluation Day,” the last day of
camp where teams demonstrate the progress they’ve
accomplished during the week, Pat Clark, Derby Doll
director, said.
The girls won blue ribbons in each of the five dance
categories — Jazz, high kick, novelty, military and
prop. A blue ribbon signifies superior and is the
highest mark given, Clark said.
El Campo was the only school out of the 23 schools
competing that received blue ribbons in all
categories.
The dolls also won trophies for most creative in
military dance, best interpretation in music, best in-
terpretation in novelty and most entertaining in high
kick.
“It was lots of fun but hard work,” Cindy Nohavit-
za, Derby Doll captain, said. Her sentiments were
echoed by all.
Girls not pictured but attending the camp were
Brenda Witcher, Mandy Griffin, Camie Cada, Kelly
Korenek, Terry Pesek, Carolyn Pavlik, Deborah
Carlson, Debra Decell, Lisa Tidwell and Mindi Mat-
thews.
Accompanying the girls also were Mrs. Donald
Nohavitza and Mrs. Gil Nelsen.

Week’s Criminal Activity
‘SIGI’ Helps Students
A new program to provide
career guidance for students will
be demonstrated by Wharton
County Junior College when
“SIGI” is welcomed to the
campus by general faculty and
professional staff members
during the Aug 24 28 staff
development days workshop that
precedes the start of fall semester
classes Aug. 31
SIG1 is the acronym for a new
WCJC computer-based System of
Interactive Guidance and
Information to be located in the
Career Center on the second floor
of the Pioneer Student Center.
Students who enjoy playing TV
computer games will discover
that a similar concept can be
usefully applied to their career
search by utilizing a cathode-ray
tube terminal that is connected to
a high speed dot-matrix line
printer for permanent referral.
There is no cost to students but
reservations are required in
advance to play “the game of
life” on the electronic marvel
installed at WCJC through a
Federal Title III Grant under the
Advanced Institutional
Development Program.
SIGI is based on a theory of
guidance that emphasizes in
dividual values, a vast store of
occupational data, and a strategy
for processing information — all
blended into a unified system.
The terminal consists of a
screen and an array of response
keys similar to a typewriter
Messages, called frames, are
presented or constructed on the
screen, and the student re^oonds
to a question, asks a question, or
gives dir ’tions to the computer
by pressing designated keys.
Sometimes the screen gives
information to the student
Sometimes it gives the student
choices of what to do next.
Sometimes it serves as a
spokesman for the student, who
may try out and modify various
expressions of his or her own
values, specifications of
minimum requirements, and
occupational goals and plans.
The student’s dialogue with the
system about career decisions
takes place in a multiple-choice
format. This format candidly and
explicitly specifies the structure
of the system to students, yet
permits them to branch through a
multiplicity of pathways within
that structure. It instructs them in
the rules and possibilities of the
decision-making process, but
allows them to make the decisions
themselves.
Six interrelated subsystems
raise major questions and help
students answer them.
Students can examine oc-
cupational values and find the
answers to such questions as
‘What satisfactions do you want
in an occupation?” or “What are
you willing to give up9 "
A “locate” subsystem reveals
"Where you can find what you
want and what occupations should
be looked into by the student.”
Students can ask pointed
questions and compare specific
information about occupations of
interest: "Can you make the
grade? What are your chances of
success in preparing for each
occupation you are considering?
Steps to be taken to enter an
occupation are displayed for
entering each occupation,
licensing or certification
requirements, and sources of
financial aid.
Rosemary Street
City Expected To Approve Paving
El Campo City Council w;H
probably take a middle of the road
attitude, literally, Monday when
they act on what to do about
Rosemary St. Council is also
expected to hire a new city at-
torney next week in its third
consecutive Monday meeting.
Council, with the exception of
David Zalman and Philip Miller
who were absent, met in
executive session from 7-8 p.m.
this past Monday evening to in-
terview two candidates for the
city attorney position, vacated by
Jim Bouligny after 15 years of
service.
Only two local lawyers, Dennis
Morgan and Peggy Manske,
submitted formal inquiries about
the Job.
Twelve of 17 homeowners on
Rosemary St. assembled at City
Hall at 8 p.m. Monday at the
request of the city.
“The street we’re discussing is
kind of unusual, so we want to see
what solution we can come up
with that will be least expensive to
the city and that will please the
majority of the property owners,”
Mayor A. G. “Red” Miller said in
opening the meeting.
After much discussion and a
vote by the property owners, the
city will probably approve strip
paving 36 feet of the 50 foot wide
street. Extra work such as con-
necting the 36 foot street to
several existing curbs must be
done by individual property
owners.
The portion of the street which
the city is responsible for is 18 feet
wide, but some property owners
added curbs and gutters to their
property years ago, and some
even have their curbs connected
to the city street with asphalt.
Although 18 feet is asphalted,
the street is actually 50 feet wide.
The city said it cannot afford to
curb and gutter and pave either a
50 foot or 36 foot street.
After eliminating curb and
gutter as a consideration, the 12
property owners were asked to
vote on a strip pave job of either
18, 24 or 36 feet. The 18 foot street
received three votes, while the 36
foot street captured nine.
Had the 18 foot street been the
desire of the majority, it would
have been paved at no cost to the
property owners.
The city will require par-
ticipation on the 36 foot street,
however, at a recommended cost
of $6.75 per linear foot.
Property owners were told
Monday the cost would be ap-
proximatly $4.50 per foot, but
after looking at the figures again
Tuesday that price turned out to
be the cost at a 24 foot street.
The major complaint levied by
the property owners was that
school buses are responsible for
much of the destruction of the
street. One property owner said,
“1 don’t think we should have to
pay to have our street fixed so the
school buses can tear it up again.”
Council suggested that property
owners express their views to the
schoolboard.
