I ,A-' . . Dr. James H. Fribourgh Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Dr. James I-I. Fribourgh, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, came fo Liffle Rock Junior College in I949, affer having received his Ph.D. af fhe Sfafe Universify of Iowa. This was fhe colIege's firsf year on if's presenf campus, when fhe cify Iimifs ended wifh Fair Park Boulevard and fhere was only pasfure and farm land wesf of Universify Avenue, fhen a dirf road. This was my firsf iob and I was a long way from home in Iowa. I had never been down fo fhe school - af fhaf fime you iusf negofiafed over fhe felephone and didn'f come in for a visif and all fhe formalifies as done now. I remember I gof in Iafe af nighf and spenf fhe nighf in fhe Lafayeffe Flofel. The nexf morning I wenf fo fake a cab ouf fo Liffle Rock Junior College and fhe cab driver had no idea where fhe junior college was. l'Ie called fhe cab company office on fhe car radio and fhey didn'f know. By fhis fime I was beginning fo wonder 'Whaf have I goffen info, no one knows where fhis place exisfsl' Finally affer I5 or 20 minufes fhey figured ouf. 'Oh, fhaf rnusf be fhe place ouf fhere fha ofher side of Fair Park,' and sure enough if was. From fhe days of Liffle Rock Junior College and World War ll veferans fo fhe days of fhe Universify of Arkansas, Liffle Rock and Vief Nam veferans, Dr. Fribourgh has seen a con- sisfency in fhe mafurify level of sfudenfs enrolled here. The fesfs given fo graduafes of fhis school fend fo be a good bil higher fhan fhey are on ofher campuses. This fall we had exarninafion fearns, Norfh Cenfral and NCATE - Nafional Council for Accredifafion of Teacher Educafion, and bofh sefs of examining feams were very much impressed wifh fhe sfudenfs fhaf fhey mef here. Several iusf flaf made fhe sfafemenf, We'lI be glad fo frade you our sfudenf body for your's sighf unseen. The fhing fhaf seemed fo impress fhem was fhe level of mafurify of fhe sfudenfs fhey saw and mel' here on campus compared fo fheir own campuses and fhe sense of purpose: mosf sfudenfs going fo school oul' here are going for some kind of reasonably serious reason. If's nof fhaf fheir folks are rolling in money and iusf wanf fo pay a preffy good price for a babysiffer for fhe nexf four years, if you see whaf I mean. Usually sfudenfs here have a preffy good idea of where fhey are going. A concern of Dr. Fribourgh is as fhe universify grows fhe UALR sfudenf body mighf creafe exfra-curricular acfivifies foo much like fhose of ofher Arkansas colleges. The parf fhaf ofher schools don'f face is fhere is a Iof of compefing acfivifies in Liffle Rock. You're nof Iirnifed fo a school dance: any given weekend fhere is a large number of parfies and dances going on in fhe Liffle Rock area. I wonder if perhaps we're frying foo hard fo copy whaf ofher schools are doing and maybe we should be launching ouf info fypes of pro- grams fhaf ofher schools don'f have buf fie in more wifh whaf isn'f available ofher places in Liffle Rock. Dr. Fribourgh is inferesfed in possibilifies of a more nafional and infernafional enrollmenf here. I fhink parf of fhe advanfage of a school is fhe diversify if brings and I would wish for more. If's always a problem of a sfafe school fo fend fo affracf fhe maiorify of sfudenfs iusf from fhal' sfafe and since we don'f have dormifories we're affecfed even more in geffing fhe maiorify nof only iusf from fhe sfafe, buf wifhin commufing disfance of Liffle Rock. I fhink one of fhe main advanfages dormifories would bring fo This campus would be for increase fhe diversify and fo gef sfudenfs here from Maine and Florida fo California and Washingfon. The same fhing even beyond fhaf, we only have somewhere around fhirfy infernafional sfudenfs and I wish we had a much larger popula- fion of infernafional sfudenfs. You probably end up learning ag much, if nof a good bif more, oufsicle fhe classroom as you do inside fhe classroom, and fhe more differenf people, fhe more differenf backgrounds you're exposed fo, I fhink fhe beffer off you are. Previously Chairman of fhe Division of Life Sciences, Dr. Fribourgh has been Iisfed in Who's Who in fhe Soufh and Soufhwesfu, Leaders in American Science , Who's Who in American Educafionu, and Arkansas Lives . I-Ie has published many arficles, fwo wifhin fhe Iasf year, in professional journals in areas of fishery biology. During fhe sfudy of a new drug applicafion, ferramisim, for fhe Pfized Drug Company, Dr. Fribourgh coordinafed research on effecfs, if any, fhe drug, a freafmenf of diseases in caffish, mighf have on humans who con- sume caffish. Dr. Fribourgh was recenfly elecfed a Fellow of fhe American Associafion for fhe Advancemenf of Science and has also! been selecfed a Cerfified Fishery Scienfisf by fhe American Fishery Sociefy. Dr. Fribourgh became Vice Chancellor for Academic Af- fairs in i969 and will serve as Acfing Chancellor when Dr. Sfabler refires fhis summer.
