Mildred Taylor Stevens Memorial Art Center Built 1969 Cultural Training Nets Results The art, math and computer science programs stressed the importance of excellence and quality. The departments' main goals were to help and encourage their students as much as possible. The art department, under the direction of Don Robinson, had many new objectives. The department strove to enrich the artistic understanding of all students, supplying the art training required by various disciplines, and preparing future teachers of art. This year the gallery was host to over 20 shows. These shows ranged from student and faculty presentations to professional exhibits such as "Drawn to Art" by William Berry. The department hoped to schedule more nationally-known shows in the future, in addition to local favorites. Math and computer science were combined as one department this year with Dr. Stephen Smith serving Gregory Clayton, M.F.A. Assistant Professor of Art Faye M. Doran. Ed.D. Professor of Art John E. Keller. Ph.D. Associate Professor of Art Susan Knight. B.S. Adjunct Instructor of Art Paul M. Pitt. M.F.A . Professor of Art Don D. Robinson . M.A . Professor of Art and Chairman of the Department as chairman. The department's preset goals for the year were to give cultural training in the field, to give basic training to pre-professional students or science students, and to lay a broad foundation for all students as part of the General Education Program. Harding sent two student programming teams to a state competition sponsored by the Arkansas Society for Computer and Information Technology. Competing against 11 other teams, the H. U. teams were given a series of seven problems to solve in a four-and-a-half hour time limit. Harding's teams placed first and third. The teams consisted of Dave Anderson, Brad Choate, Joel DeYoung, and Alcides Viques in first place and Tyler Cutshall, Philip DeYoung, and Christopher Robinson in third place. The faculty sponsors were Steve Baber, Ron Pacheco and Tim Baird. + - Scott Baine MATH/COMPUTER SCIENCE & ART 39
