Work-Study Faith and Labor The foundation of Park College when it was established in 1875 was Fides et Labor, which it adopted as its motto. Faith and work was a good description of this educational effort on the late 19th century frontier of the Mid-West: faith in God and the feeling that Divine Guidance would make this pioneering venture a success . . . work by each student in The Park Family who came to the little Missouri River village and the hotel building on the river bank as its one building with which to start.

We are very happy with the way the students are handling this responsibility. They are a very good group to work with, said Lauritzen.

Dr. Carl Bartling says there was so much interest in the class that the course will be offered again. Three areas of emphasis include applied psychology, theory and clinical psychology counseling. Dr. Larry Hurshman and Dr. Bartling (who just received his state license in psychology) combined efforts with psychology majors to develop a ' psych ' club. 1.

McClellan, assistant professor of Criminal Justice, chairperson of the department. Criminal Justice is a social and service-related area. Whereas you can run out of oil, cars or resources, you will never run out of people relating to people, which makes CJ a stable employment field, McClellan said. Park ' s Criminal Justice program appeals most to adults who are interested in obtaining a degree in the administrative field. Park College is the only school within a 50-mile radius that provides a program in the administration and management areas of Criminal Justice. The department has also been involved with the March of Dimes, The Walk Against Hunger, and the American Criminal Justice Association. Its chapter of Tau Lambda Alpha Epsilon is in its fourth year at Park College. 104 Academics Academics 105 1. Johnny Faress realizes that criminal justice isn ' t a juvenile subject. 2.

The department has a new professor, Ronald Brecke. Political Science students conducted a census in Parkville to help determine the reapportionment for the city. Traditional events of the department are still intact this year. The Model U.N. program for high schools, coordinated l this year by junior Cheryl Fischer, is in its 26th year under the auspices of the Center for Metropolitan Public Affairs 1 (another branch of the Park College Political Science Department).

Dr. Robert Bailey is the head of the sociology department that prepares students for roles in many of the institutions of society. 1. Sociology plays a major role in Human Services. Bailey lectures on social factors. ” 2. Johnny Faress enters the conflict and social change class early. Academics 109 Minors Three main areas of study at Park College are History, Religion and Philosophy. These subjects do not carry majors but are offered on the minor level. If you walk into a class and the professor is wearing a ' Toga ' you have undoubtedly stumbled onto Ron Miriani ' s History Class. If cowboys are the subject of the day, then ' Miriani the cowboy ' teaches it. The History Department has involved itself in discovering the history of Park College. Rabbi Edward Cohn is presently teaching religion at Park. A variety of religious thought is in the I religion program. Jewish thought, RLDS thought and others have been the topics for the program. The Philosophy Department is headed by Merrill Proudfoot. Much of philosophy is the dealing with values, meanings, and the solving of problems. This enables the philosophy student to go into areas of public and social services and the business world. The Philosophy Department is also dealing with controversial topics. Guest speakers and class lectures will devote time to abortion and pornography. ___ - V ' V 110 Academics Academics 1 1 1 1. Miriani holds class in the cheapest happy hour in Parkville. 2.

I hope we can repeat it next year.” By the looks of the squad, this trend will continue. This was a big year for Michael Jackson. He was the recipient of many music awards commending his “Thriller” album. He made many ap¬ pearances across the United States and is shown here as he stopped at Park College.

This type of crime has been around for years, but not until this year has there been an effort to stop it. When inquiries were made to catch violators, an unident¬ ified school official stated, “I can name names.” This threat seemed to scare, the culprits and cut abuse to a minimum.

We don’t know exactly what takes place during this experience, but our cameras caught Kenneth Buchholz with Jeremiah himself during an eclipse.
