"Visions" to be published
by Jill Horton
We must first have visions before we can accomplish our goals.
This philosophy has certainly come true for several talented writers on the IUK
campus. Most are not seeking monetary rewards~ their only desire is to be published.
A literary magazine called "Visions," which is filled with the work of these aspiring IUK
writers, will soon go to print with its second issue.
It began in the fall of 1992 when Judy Ray contacted the people who had won the IUK
writing contest, and asked them if they were interested in putting together a magazine.
All said yes. There were three main people who helped Ray, the editor, organize the first
issue. They were Barry Howell and Ron Plath, who are students, and Marcia Chaney from
Media Relations. Chaney spent many hours on the computer putting pages in the right
order and typing in all the information.
The first issue was sold for $2 from a table set up in the Kelley Center. There were also
copies available in the library.
Soon after the first issue had been sold, the organizers of "Visions" began taking
submissions for "Visions 2." By the time the second issue was being planned, Judy Ray
had moved out of the area, so Barry Howell took over the duties as editor. Ron Plath, an
accomplised illustrator, was put in charge of the layout. Ron and Barry decided that they
were not happy with the appearance of the first issue, and wanted something that was
not so computerized and did not look like a textbook.
Plath was responsible for designing each page of"Visions 2." He said that every page
and illustration was all paste-up. Plath used very creative methods of coordinating the
content of the story or poem with an appropriate cut-out from newspapers, magazines
and pictures. The very interesting layout draws the reader deeper and deeper into each
page of this literary work.
Financial difficulties are facing the publication of future "Visions" magazines~ but
Plath, who will be the editor of the third issue, says "We would like to see "Visions"
go on. There will be three issues. After that, who knows." The hope is that the English
Club will take over and produce it in the future.
Submissions are judged by a selected group of students and faculty. Everything that
is submitted is read and judged. In the past, many writers have submitted poetry, but there
have been very few short stories submitted. Writers are encouraged to submit both
genres. The authors' names are not seen by the judges until the selection process is
completed. As Plath puts it, "It doesn't matter who wrote it. What matters is what they
wrote."
"Visions 2" is expected to go on sale in February 1995 for $3, and will be available
from a table set up in the Kelley Center. Remaining copies of the first issue will also be
on sale for $2. At the same time, submissions for "Visions 3" will be collected. This will
continue until April.
So for all those "closet" writers who have a vision to some day see their work in print,
now is your chance!

"Do the right thing"
by Cindy Wilhoite
Upon first entering Havens Auditorium I
was unsure what to expect at the Fourth
Annual Enchancing Minority Attainment
Conference. The man to giving the speech I
had come to hear was not yet on stage, and
the audience, although of significant size,
was relatively silent and scattered.
Nanette Bowling, administrative assistant to Bob Sargeant, Mayor of Kokomo,
presented Joe Clark with a key to the city of
Kokomo. IUK Chancellor Emita Hill then
introduced this admired man.
Clark is the high school principal the film
"Lean On Me" portrayed. He is known for
his belief in the abilities and talents of young
people.
The audience gave Clark a standing ovation even before he opened his mouth. This
was definitely a percursor of a great speech.
Clark opened with some humor relating to
his grandparents. He then recited the Serenity Prayer. Throughout his speech Clark
quoted William Penn, John Wesley, and
Charles Dickins among others.
The most notable thing Clark expressed
was that it doesn't matter what race or what
sex you are, but what you do to b1ing about
change. He expressed the patriotic thought
that "we are all Americans first and Americans last," meaning that "We are bound by
the Constitution."
Clark stressed ''doing the right thing"
and judging others only by the content of
their characters. He also discussed the difference between optimism and pessimism.
He narrated a story about two twin boys, one
of whom was an optimist and one of whom
was a pessimist. The parents were frustrated
as this state of affairs continued until the
boys were twelve years old.
They went to a psychiatrist around
Christmastime. The psychiatrist recommended getting a brand new ten-speed bike
and a bale of hay, and putting them under the
Christmas tree. The parents followed the
advice. On Christmas morning, the parents
tried to persuade the pessimistic boy to try
out his bike, only to have him respond that
with the snow outside, it was not a good idea.
The optimistic boy had been walking
around the tree muttering something to himself. The parents asked him what he was
mumbling and, alluding to the hay under the _
tree he said, "There's a pony around here
somewhere." Clark used this story to illustrate the fact that it is an individual ' s own
responsibility to make greater efforts that
will eventually lead to a greater standard of
living. Or, in other words, what you put into
life is what you get out of life.
Clark encouraged the audience to believe
in themselves, because if they didn't, no one
else would.
Clark tied his whole speech together by
quoting from Dickin 's Tale ofTwo Cities. " It
was the best of times, it was the worst of
times ... " He applied this concept to today's
educational system.
Clark also explained the baseball bat story.
One day around 5:30 p.m., he was sitting in
his office when the media came around and
took pictures. Trying to be humorous, he
started clowning around by striking poses
with a baseball bat. The media actually published the picture.
He concluded by encouraging people to
be happy and cheerfol and at peace with their
soul. His quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet
sums up his speech: "This above all : to thine
own self be true, And it must follow, as the
night the day, Thou canst not then be false
to any man."
