(JDR 2325-26, 2333-34) committee The STATUS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1994 3B Parental ties to schools vital, candidates agree 3 incumbents, rivals appear at forum I BY ADAM BIEGEL Democrat-Gazette Staff Writer Little Rock schools need more parental involvement and less court supervision, six school board candidates agreed at a forum Monday night. The group three incumbents running for re-election and their challengers in the Sept. 20 school board election also expressed support for decreased busing, student uniforms and efforts to combat truancy and violence. Our schools will get better only when parents are involved in every aspect of students education, said Judy Magness, who is challenging Little Rock School Board president Dorsey Jackson to represent the citys north central area. Jackson defended Superintendent Henry Williams, who has been criticized for not adequately involving parents in policy development, but said more can be done to improve communication. He explained that parents might not be able to participate in every decision to transfer a principal because some involved confidential personnel issues. But it can t be just a whim, said incumbent Pat Gee, who represents south central Little Rock. Jackson and Gee said the school districts court-approved desegregation plan needs to be amended if the schools hope to be autonomous. It is too burdensome and cumbersome to work, Jackson said. Incumbent O.G. Jacovelli added that the Little Rock School District should focus on the basics and not the race of the child. Two challengers Ronald Doc Roland and Shelia Parker said they were unfamiliar with the plans details but pledged to study it if they were elected. Roland, who is challenging Jacovelli in Southwest Little Rock, said a more active school board can help unite often-fractious groups of parents, teachers and administrators. I feel the tone is set from the top down, Roland said. There is no problem with the Little Rock School District but leadership. Parker called for automatic suspensions of students found carrying drugs, guns or other weapons on school property, This is no place for Batman and Robin, said Parker, who is challenging Gee. This is a place for education. Magness said a hot line should be established for the public to report school-age children they believe to be truant Magness, who lost to Jackson in 1991, criticized him for his misdemeanor conviction on six federal duck-hunting charges in May. I think school board members should lead by example, Magness said, promising to restore personal and public integrity to the Zone 3 seat. The candidates appeared at a public forum at McClellan Community High School sponsored by the Coalition of Little Rock Neighborhoods and Southwest Little Rock United for Progress.RECEIVES MAY 1 6 1994 Office of Desegregaho?! INCENTIVE SCHOOL PARENT/TEACHER MENTORSHIP 1994 The district strives to satisfy the requirements of the Desegregation Plan through existing programs. Although no formal parent/teacher mentorship program exists, the intent of the program is being implemented through the development of parents as teachers of their children via the Academic Support Program parent component, and the development of the aides as effective supporters of student learning.

There are various ways in which parents can become involved in their children's education. Reaching out to parents is important if some parents are not going into school, the school may need to go where parents are and provide them with support and opportunities to become involved. Effective outreach requires a partnership between schools and other community organizations. Schools must be willing to try new approaches and to restructure in order to meet the needs of families for flexible timeframes, childcare, and transportation. Schools need to collaborate with other community and social service providers in providing educational services to parents who, due to their own life circumstances, cannot assist in their children's schoolins.PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL (PAC) GOALS FOR 1993-94 1.

Williamsons Roles On and Off the Court Corliss Williamson is pursuing a Communications major with a minor in Drama. Williamson based his choice for his second career on the experience he will have accumulated in the NBA and his love for the game. "Basketball is not always going to be there," Williamson says. "Jlopefully 1 will get a chance to go into the broadcasting field doing play-by-play for games. 1 have been around basketball all of my life. 1 have got a lot of knowledge that I can give to people. Whatever 1 do, 1 hope that 1 can always stay around the sport." Williamson also hopes to break into the film industry somewhere along the way. He enjoys the diversity and spontaneity of acting out scenes in class. "Those types of things can catch you off guard sometimes," he says. "You have to be on your toes and be able to react. You have to be able to do what is asked of you at that given moment." Drama also provides a light-hearted balance to the intensity of the basketball court. "Basketball is very physical. You have to work hard and sacrifice your body. When you get in the classroom it's more fun, because it's not really putting in pressure on you to perform in a certain way. You just go up there and do the best you can do. You can do whatever comes freely." Williamson thoughtfully notes the similarities between his approach to his game and to the dramatic field. "It's kind of like basketball in the sense that whenever I'm inside those four lines on a basketball court 1 block everything else out. The whole world is those ten guys that are on the floor. It's the same way with drama class." Williamson is known for his generosity to everyone he meets. He notes that his participation in skits and scenes in class has given him a greater understanding of the diversity of challenges faced by those around him. In acting, you can be a kid, you can be an older person, you can be another race, a woman, whatever they ask you to do. You get to put yourself in another person's shoes and act out their life and see the differences between your life and someone else's." Williamson found that Nolan Richardson's concept of the importance of each player on the team came naturally to him. "You have to look at the team concept," Williamson explains. "If 1 was to play 40 minutes and all of our starters played 35 or 40 minutes, that Continued on Page 8 Arkansas NCAA Basketball Champions Razorbacks Discuss Their Future Plans and the Mental Dynamics of a Championship Team An impressive majority of the Razorback basketball team will play basketball professionally following their college career at the University of Arkansas. Their commitment to their current "career training" led to the 1994 NCAA Basketball Championship. These links are self-evident to the fans who have watched and listened to their games, consequently the Register chose to explore those aspects of this team that are less apparent, though more accessible to Register readers. Most Arkansans will hold multiple careers in their lifetimes. This radically alters the way that most of the workforce to date has viewed their occupation and career planning. Those Razorbacks who pursue professional athletics look forward to brilliant and profitable careers, that if highly successful, may last 15 or 20 years. These men will then be in their late thirties or early forties with yet another one or two careers ahead of them. Today, when not on the court, they are studying and preparing themselves for their next vocation. The Register asked them to explain their choices and methods of conditioning themselves for their lives after basketball. The team's athletic superiority has been the subject of many articles and television stories throughout the country. Yet, Razorback fans in Arkansas choose to laud the team's selflessness and willingness to sacrifice as the key to their national success. These characteristics are rare in a team filled with superstar college athletes. In an era where Total Quality Management and team building merit the investment of thousands of corporate dollars, the Register asked these youthful heroes to explain in layman's terms how their team developed their unity. Their answers are moving
their methods available to any Arkansas worker who opts to try them.

Employment Empowerment Part 14 by David Flake The job interview is a personal conversation between you and a potential employer. The interview is the time for you to talk about your qualifications for the job opening in detail. It is also a time for you to ask questions about the job and find out what will be expected of you should you be hired for the position. Preparing for the interview takes a lot of time and energy, but the better prepared you are, the better your chances of interviewing well. If you are prepared, you will present yourself confidently and make a favorable impression. During the interview, the interviewer will form opinions about your maturity, stability, tactfulness, adaptability, discipline, honesty, assertiveness, and sincerity as well as your eagerness and ability to work. Keep in mind that interviewers often reject applicants who make poor first impressions. Interviewers will try to determine how well you will fit in with the company and existing workers. The typical interview lasts less than thirty minutes. Often times, you will be required to make a series of interviews. This is a process by which companies screen out seemingly equally skilled applicants. The further along you are in the series of interviews, the stronger your chances of being offered a job. Keep in mind that interviewers are looking for the "right" person, and hope that the next person seen will be who they are looking for. More on interviewing in part 15.

Relocation Also Available Tulsa, Springfield, Dallas, Jackson, Memphis, New Orleans, Shreveport, Austin & Houston. Davor Rimae has chosen an academic schedule that is as challenging as his athletic endeavors. Fans have seen his game improve dramatically year after year at Arkansas - the result of his hard work and commitment to personal improvement. His familiarity with the process of patiently working day by day towards his goals will no doubt serve him well once his professional basketball career is over. Majoring in Computer Science requires a great deal of additional study outside the classroom. Rimae admits that the work is demanding. "There can be a lot of research involved and papers to write," he says. "But I have always been interested in computers. I've always wanted to own one. I am most interested in programming applications." That is not the typical picture fans might hold of this athlete off of the court. He agrees that in many ways the inner workings of an athletic team resemble the inner workings of corporate America. "There is a lot of competition for position within the team," he says. "Coach Richardson says that if two guys have the same ability, but one works harder in practice, there is a good chance that the one who works harder will be more successful. Its the same way in the job market. You compete every day to be one of the ones that plays the most." "Professionalism" is evident on his team. "Guys might get in a fight or get angry with one another on the court, but it's completely forgotten once we are in the locker room.", he says. "If you look at basketball as a job, and you are professional about your job, then work is completely forgotten once you get home." Rimae believes that each member's ability to set aside their differences and remain committed to their common goal as a team helped them achieve the national championship. Focusing on a single purpose athletically came naturally for a team that had a tendency to travel as a single unit socially. "It's not unusual to see seven or eight of us together at night at a movie," he says. There may be other teams like this, but I have never seen them." Rimae values his relationships with his teammates almost as much as the national champi- Continued on Page 7 EMPLOYMENT REGISTER Post Office Box 25622 Little Rock, Arkansas 72221-5622 Phone (501) 228-0436 Fax (501)227-7502 Publisher Jana Greenbaum Advertising Sales Beth Welshans Graphic Design Plan B Consulting Distribution Manager David Wood The Arkansas Employment Register is published and distributed bi-weekly to locations throughout the state of Arkansas, as well as mailed to areas outside Arkansas.

I r I Arkansas Employment Resister 'ARKANSANS WORKING TO KEEP ARKANSANS WORKING" Page 3 I FROM THE PUBLISHER EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION Crawford Wants to Teach Senior to Seek both Classroom and Courtside Assijnments Roger Crawford will graduate from the University of Arkansas in about a year with a degree in kinesiology. He intends to use his degree to seek both coaching and teaching opportunities. His choice is based on his strong love of kids and the respect he has had for both his teachers and his coaches. Crawford's dreams have always included a professional career as a player and then as a coach. He hopes to start at the junior college level, and then move up through the assistants' ranks of a major college program. Crawford points out that many junior college coaching positions allow the coach to also teach classes. "I like kids, so if 1 can coach, 1 wouldn't mind teaching," Crawford says. Crawford investigated the field of kinesiology at the suggestion of his academic advisor. The two discussed it extensively
the more he heard about the field, the more interested he became in the degree. He has approached his career in coaching with the same determination that he has approached his career as a player. He frequently agrees to visit schools in the Fayetteville area to work with students. "1 go to the schools around here and talk and play with the kids," he says. While the effort is mandatory for one who wants to have a strong body of experience when seeking employment, Crawford also does it because he enjoys it. "It's fun," he says. "1 like to play with kids. I like to watch them play and have a good time." He also learns by watching other coaches during games. "I don't just watch the players, 1 also watch the coach," he advises. "You can learn a lot about the way he controls his team." Crawford is also preparing for his "second" career by utilizing the mentors available to him through the university. "I find people I can look up to. I look up to Coach Richardson and the way he teaches. I also look up to some of my teachers and the way that they teach," he says. Coach Richardson has taught him many things, but most importantly, an effective way to motivate his players. "When he's talking to you, he stretches his point out and it gets to you," Crawford explains. "Some coaches tell you, come on you can do it. Coach Richardson tells you that the other guy isn't better than you, that you play better than he does every day. Il gets in your head and motivates you." Richardson has also been Crawford's role model for his relationship with his team. He provides his players with direction and support that have nothing to do with basketball. "His off the court teaching skills and his love and respect for his players are two of the things that I admire about him the most," Crawford says. "He talks to me off the court. He really helps me focus on the things I have to do while I am here at Arkansas." Injury sidelined Crawford at the end of the 1994 season. He watched his teammates battle for the crown from the sidelines. Crawford's number, 31, was on their jerseys. Though he did not take the floor of the championship game, he was as much a part of the victory as any player that suited up that night. Today his cast has been removed, and Crawford is on the mend. He credits his teammates with helping him recover from the disappointment of his injury. "My teammates really helped me a lot," Crawford says. "1 really wanted to play. But my teammates let me know that I was still a big part of the team." "Respect" became a watchword for this team in the Continued on Page ? Contractor's License Center, Inc.

Arkansas NCAA Basketball Champions Razorbacks Discuss Their Future Plans and the Mental Dynamics of a Championship Team There can be no doubt, however, that as remarkable as each of these players may be, their attitude towards the team and each other originates with their leader. Coach Nolan Richardson. His belief that each member of the team is equally important to the overall success of the program is shared by every player on the team. Coach Richardson allowed the Register to interview the players because of his belief that this story was worthwhile and might help workers and students here in Arkansas. Coach Richardson teaches his team that their commitment to these principles prepares them not only for a championship in basketball, but also a championship in life. The results of the implementation of the philosophy within this team are self-evident. The Register hopes that these stories help Arkansas workers and companies implement the same philosophy in the Arkansas workplace.msa

Lee Wilson's high school basketball coach had such a profound impact on him that Wilson intends to coach high school students himself once retiring from professional basketball. He is certainly the type of person that students will look up to, and it will not just be because of his 6'11" height. The high school rankswill be lucky to land a seasoned, professional basketball player who wants to influence athletes both on and off the basketball court. "1 want to be a coach because 1 believe that 1 can do a great job at it," he says. "1 want to help kids out. I want to be a father figure to them and show them how to be a better person and make it to college." Interest in this level of basketball is due to the influence of his high school coach in Waco, Texas. Although there were opportunities for him to move up to the NBA, he preferred to remain at the high school level. "My high school coach really influenced me through the things he did and the way he lived. He still thinks coaching is fun. 1 don't want to just work." Wilson also points out that professional athletes frequently retire physically exhausted from years of sacrificing their bodies for their profession. Mentally, however, the NBA will provide him with valuable knowledge and experience he can share with younger athletes. "I'm pretty sure that when 1 get out of the NBA I'll be kind of banged up. But being in the NBA will give me the knowledge from actually doing," he says. Wilson is already taking advantage of opportunities to work with kids. He helped coach a group of Special Olympic athletes that came through the Arkansas Razorback bask
