The Brutal Society In response to shooting deaths at Arkansas school Government, media suggest prison or death for child offenders By Barry Grey 27 March 1998 Within hours of the shocking and tragic events at Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Arkansas, government officials announced they were investigating the possibility of applying federal criminal statutes to the two children who fired at their schoolmates and teachers, killing five and wounding fifteen. The aim of the officials was to circumvent Arkansas laws that rule out the prosecution of children under 14 as adults, and mandate that convicted juveniles be released at the age of 18. At the very least, it was explained, the 13-year-old and 11-year-old involved in the Jonesboro shootings could be kept under lock and key for an additional three years if they were convicted under federal auspices. At the bidding of Clinton, who issued a directive from his tour of African capitals, Attorney General Janet Reno announced on Thursday that the Justice Department was poring over federal statutes to find a means of prosecuting the youth in the Jonesboro case.

The School of Social Work About the School About the MSW Program (For more information about the MSW program, see the 2001 Self Study for CSWE's Commission on Accreditation FAQ for Applicants and Prospective MSW Students FAQ for Newly Admitted MSW Students About the BSW Program ... The School's Nondiscrimination Policy About the School The School of Social Work, established in 1965 as part of the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, became part of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1975. The School began as a graduate program, the only MSW program in the state. Our BSW program, now in candidacy for accreditation by the Council on Social Work Education, began in 1998. The School's mission is "to prepare practitioners who will empower people and communities to meet the challenges of poverty, social and economic injustice, urbanization, and rural isolation, and who will serve oppressed and vulnerable people." The School pursues this mission through providing undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education, through the engagement of faculty and students in community service, and through adding to the practice knowledge of the profession. In support of our mission, we see the School, its faculty, and its students as an important resource to the communities where we offer our program and to the state as a whole. Impelled by our profession's commitment to make social institutions more humane, we seek opportunities to collaborate with public human and community service systems. Current examples include our participation in the Partnership for Public Child Welfare, a major child welfare project in DCFS Areas III and VI, the Hispanic University-Community Partnership project, and the work of MidSOUTH Center on preservice and inservice training for public child welfare workers and supervisors.

But she said she was "hurt" by what happened. Her first-period teacher testified that the girl was crying and shaking after she returned to class, according to a newspaper report at the time. Latting denied that he touched the girl. His attorney said he had merely taken her to his office to counsel her. Latting taught social studies and physical education and coached girls basketball for grades 10-12 at the high school's east campus. The case outraged state women's groups and was mentioned on Rush Limbaugh's nationally syndicated radio show. Arkansas Attorney General Winston Bryant drafted legislation that expanded the state law on sexual violation of minors to include school personnel. The old law applied only to guardians, temporary caretakers or people in a position of trust or authority over a minor between the ages of 13 and 18.

Bauxite, Arkansas USA "Aluminum Capital of the World" The Bauxite Community Center Constructed for its employees in 1926 by the Aluminum Company of America, this old Southern Colonial meeting hall solidly stands today as a testament to the joyous memories of the people who once lived and worked in Bauxite. It is still a gracious host to the annual Bauxite Reunion and countless other meetings, parties, dinners and other special events throughout the year. I was honored when my wife chose to host my 50th birthday surprise party in this memorable old building on September 25th, 2003. My name is Steven Hicks and beginning in 1959, I attended Bauxite Public Schools all 12 years of my elementary and secondary education. I graduated from Bauxite High School in 1971. I am old enough to remember Bauxite as a town filled with people, homes, churches, stores, ball parks and fun activities. My parents and grandparents were born in Saline County, Arkansas near the town of Bauxite. My father, grandfather, four uncles, an aunt, my brother and brother-in-law have all worked in the bauxite mines and refining plants. My brother began working for the Aluminum Company of America at age 17 and has recently retired in 1999. He was one of the few remaining employees of ALCOA at Bauxite, Arkansas.
