about Dr. Burks’ time as president.
The chancellor
varies at different institutions.
At other schools, the chancellor is the top-office, but in many institutions the chancellor is one that has served as a president and no longer has that responsibility, but there is still work for him to do and they want him to serve, so I was asked to be chancellor.
THE FIRST ONE - WE DID NOT HAVE ANY BEFORE THAT. The chancellor here works under the president and the board of trust-
ees as a staff officer. He is not a line officer, for instance like the president, the vice presidents, the deans, the department chairmen and so on down the line. But here, the chancellor, tas in many institutions, is one that
SERVES AS STAFF OFFICER, UNDER THE PRESIDENT.
He is not responsible for day-to-day operations, or over any of the other officers, and he does whatever the board and the president want him to do.
For instance when I was asked to serve as chancellor, I was given the assignment of continuing to help fundraising , student recruiting, public relations, representing the university and speaking for it in various places, and going in the place of the president — whatever is needed is what you do.
I have not been chancellor full-time for a good while because there was not a need for me to spend all of my time doing that so I was asked to just be quarter-time. But I am here all the time. I work almost full-time you might say in a sense. But I don’t feel the responsibility of having to be here all the time. If I need to go to Africa to work in Uganda, which I do twice a year, I don’t feel badly about it, because I am not on the payroll for that length of time. I am just 1/4th time.
But every day I am here, I am here. And I love it. That is why, though I do not have to be here at all, but I have loved Harding so much I want to be here. People say, ‘Where are you going when you leave Harding?’
‘Heaven’ is my answer. Always.
You enjoy meeting people and working with people. Some that you With Dr. Burks have known and worked with 50 years or more. But being here on retiring and becoming the campus with the students, watching them perform, like the new chancellor, we spring sing, drama, musicals, athletics, whatever it is. wonder: Just what does
Just being around them is enjoyment. I love and appreciate the purpose, the reason for existence of Harding and the fact that it has remained pretty true to its purpose from the very beginning.

After tragedy, local Goodwill presses on
With a temporary location already open and a dedication to Searcy community, Goodwill begins recovery from fire by KORY HOWARD student writer
The local Goodwill caught fire and suffered complete loss on Friday, March 22. At 4:30 a.m. the store caught fire, and by the time the fire fighters arrived, it was already too late. According to KARK 4 News, the Searcy Fire Department spent more than five hours trying to put the fire out. By the time the fire died, the store was obliterated along with everything inside. No employees were inside the store at the time. The cause of the fire remains unknown. “Goodwill Industries of Arkansas had a fire this morning at our Searcy location,” the Goodwill Industries of Arkansas said on its Facebook page shortly after the fire. “We are thankful no one was injured. We love Searcy and are committed to the community and our employees. Goodwill Searcy will be reopening soon.” Since the fire, Brian Itzkowitz, the president and CEO of the Goodwill Industries of Arkansas, said he has been working on a plan of action to recover from the devastation. Since the store destroyed was the only Goodwill

store located in Searcy, they worked quickly to build a new, temporary store to operate until they could establish a more permanent location. The new store was opened to the public on Thursday at its temporary location at 2009 E. Race Ave. “Our focus now is to keep our employees working and our quality, value-priced merchandise available to our customers,” Itzkowitz said in a FOX16 article. Itzkowitz has been at Goodwill since 2008 and has opened 17 new Goodwill locations since 2009. “Donations are what brings Goodwill’s mission to life; that’s why we say ‘Donate, Shop, Change a Life,’” Itzkowitz told FOX16. The Searcy Fire Department is currently investigating the fire to be sure there are no signs of arson. “If anything leads to something we need to investigate, we’ll go from there,” Jennifer Denney, a spokesperson for the Searcy Fire Department, said in an Arkansas Online article. According to KTBS news, the authorities claim that the fire began at the back of the store and spread to the roof. The investigation is still under way.

The Searcy farmers’ market is getting ready to open once again. The farmers’ market opens on Saturday, April 20, with some new features and a new location. The market, originally on the south end of Spring Park, will now be located on the east end of the courthouse square in downtown Searcy. This will help with traffic visibility as well as helping the downtown area by promoting sidewalk sales and music on the square. “There is just the potential for a lot more activities to be tied in with the farmers’ market,” Amy Burton, executive director of Main Street Searcy, said. “We had a lot of returning customers that came every week, but we were looking for a way to bring in new customers.” The farmers’ market will also be featuring new times of operation during this season. The market will be open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Saturday until October as well as a new added time, 5 to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays. This time slot will be primarily for the latest addition to the market, online ordering. “We are establishing an online farmers’ market to go hand-in-hand with

the Main Street Searcy farmers’ market,” Burton said. “We are using the online site so that farmers can post their products, then customers can go on, place their order and then it will be ready for them to pick up and pay for on Tuesdays.” Most of the farmers that sell in the market are proud to claim that all of their products are free of pesticides and that all of the meat sold at the market is USDA certified. Brandon Gordon, local farmer and owner of Five Acre Farms, said he is very excited for this year’s market. “Participating in the farmers’ market has been a welcome surprise,” Gordon said. “We know many of our customers on a first name basis and they are so appreciative of what we do.” Burton encouraged
students and members of the Searcy community to shop at the farmers’ market. “We are a certified Arkansas farmers’ market, so you know when you come out and buy at the farmers’ market that they have grown that food; they are not allowed to go purchase things at the grocery store and then go resell it, and that is really important, you know where your food is coming from,” Burton said. You can find the online market site at searcy.locallygrown.net. Online ordering will be available there once the physical market opens. Also, stay connected with the farmers and the market on Facebook at Searcy Certified Farmers’ Market, Five Acre Farms, Yarbro Farms, Victorious Cross Ranch and Freckle Face Farms.
