Statue
Added to
the Quad

The campus acquired a new statue
May 14. It can be seen
just outside of the main building by the cafeteria. The statue is
made with a manganese, copper and bronze mixture. The sculpture’s
materials were donated by the Olin corporation.
 The
Sacagawea statue is a representation of the 15 year old Shoshone
Indian who accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition form the
Northern Great Plains to the Pacific Ocean. Since there is no
photographic documentation of Sacagawea , the statue was modeled by
Randy Eltitan, a Shonshone Indian from New Mexico.
The sculptor Glenna Goodacre is a widely
renowned sculptor who crafted the design of the new Sacagawea dollar
coin currently in circulation across the U.S.

How will I ever get this project
finished on time? Will I be able to finish this semester before I
deliver this baby? I need to go back to school but how…with two
small children, no father and no help.
The Student Government Association voted
to recognize a new club on April 17. This club plans to provide
answers to these questions and many more.
During the meeting, Dominique Moore,
President of Women of Worth, took the floor to explain the plans for
this club. “The objective of Women of Worth is to provide a
support team to help women who are facing the arduous task of
returning to school.” She also said, “The club will offer
tutoring, counseling and mentoring to enhance knowledge and prepare
women to be successful.”
The mission for W.O.W. is to enhance its
members’ inner beauty, complimenting their outer radiance. The
objective is to positively encourage and motivate these women to
reach their fullest potential and at the same time become a strong
influence in the community.

The club will also have a connection
with the English and History departments, to coordinate the book
materials used in the club with those used in the classroom. W.O.W.
will also offer assistance finding grants and other options to help
finance education plans. The club meets twice a month, will have a
newsletter, participate in fundraising and will make appearances at
local middle and high schools.
W.O.W. meetings are held on the first
and third Thursday of every month at 12:30 p.m. on the LCCC campus.
Moore said, “We are working on a website which should be up and
running by
the end of the summer, with
a link to the LCCC page.”
W.O.W. is for mature students who are
facing the demands of furthering their education through roadblocks
like raising children and maintaining a job. Women that have been in
those situations and can truly understand and help designed W.O.W.
There are no guidelines to become a member. According to Moore,
“no one will be turned away.”
To
anyone looking to give or receive help can join. For more
