Student ‘tucks ’n rolls’
A new upholstery business
has taken shape in nearby
Beavercreek offering “Quality
with an artistic touch” to con
sumers.
Ron’s Upholstery Shoppe
originated from training that
Ron Rood, former College
student, received through the
upholstery classes taught at the
College.
Rood attended the College
for one year where he was in-
- volved in the Auto Refinishing
program.
“Upholstery started out as a
part-time hobby for me, but as I
took more classes my interest
in upholstery as a profession
increased,” Rood said.
“1 owe a lot to Larry Hopp,
my instructor at the College.
He taught me the basics I
needed to know,” Rood said.
The encouragement and ap
praisal by friends of upholstery
projects Rood was working on
influencedtiis decision to go in
to business for himself.
“I decided to open my own
business just out of enjoyment
for what I was doing. I stress
quality over quantity on my
work and I didn’t want to end
up competing with the big
guys.
“I picked up Beavercreek as
a location because it is ideal for
the working atmosphere I wan
ted. I plan to do a lot of antique
car restoration which includes
upholstery work and auto pain
ting,” Rood said. He also
works on furniture projects.
Business has been very
good, according to Rood.
“I had a strong nucleus of
friends who knew I was in
business, but I have mall
people who are just driving by I
stop to see whats happen«
here. I’ve been much busies
than I expected,” said Rood.«

An enriching experience in
culture is what the Humanities
experience class at the College
has to offer.
“We are living in an age of
specialization
and
it
is
becoming vital that we broaden
our scope of understanding,”
said Tom Richards, depar
tment chairperson of English.
“Liberal Arts education is on
the decline as we pursue our
goals to make money,” he
said. “Humanities experience
class will help you understand
yourself and others around
you.”
The Humanities class is for
students who are specializing in
fields where music, art and
literature necessarily would not
be a part of their curriculum.
This required course for
students in programs like waste
water technology, nursing,'
secretarial science, and. mer
chandizing
business
management, introduces them
to experiences in these areas.
The three credit class is on
Tuesday 1 to 3 p.m. and Wed
nesday 7 to 9 p.m.
This class, which started last
year will be offered again next
term. The instructors are Nan
cy Travers, Art; Gary Nelson,
Music; and Tom Richards,
literature and drama.
