At Northeastern Oklahoma State University, changes played a predominant role in the 1977-78 chapter of the NEOSU history book. The transitions experienced by the university were in some ways similar to those the Cher- okee Nation experienced before statehood. The Cherokee peo- ple have cherished the legend since before their Trail of Tears journey from Georgia and Ten- nessee. The legendary Phoenix, a fab- ulous, brightly-colored bird, was Sacred to the sun. The eld- erly bird made a nest of twigs, then set the nest on fire and died by burning itself alive. From the ashes of its body came forth another bird, replac- ing the body of its father. Gath- ering strength, it rose and flew away, taking the ashes and nest to a secret place, hiding them forever. ; The legend symbolizes the death of the old Indian Territory which made possible the birth of the state of Oklahoma. People at NEOSU found that they, too, had to accept the changes. which were. thrust upon them in order to put the past behind them and begin the future. TsaLaGi 5 6 TsaLlaGi Book prices that soared out of sight, and red tape that liter- ally drove students out of their minds lie waiting for those who faced enrollment. Old and new faces found old and new forms and fees to complete and pay. But reunions with friends and the excitement of the beginning of a new year softened the blows. | Fall semester began and cof- fee-and-donut, on-the-run breakfasts returned to early morning menus. a aii Summer's empty parking lots filled and left frustrated com- muters looking for lodging for their automobiles. The more defiant students found ironic spots to leave their transporta- we x, tion during classes. TsaLaGi 7 When the Cherokees were first brought over the Trail of Tears to the Tahlequah area in the 1840's, they settled a few miles south near Park Hill. From there scouts were sent out to find the ideal location for the capitol of the Cherokee Nation. On what is now the southern section of the Northeastern campus they found huge oak trees and a spring and stream of crystal water — all amid roll- ing hills. They said to them- selves, ‘‘This is the place,’’ and 8 TsalaGi brought back news of their find to their people. The town’s name was derived from this Cherokee expression. Tahlequah is one of the old- est towns in Oklahoma, and his- torical old buildings and homes are everywhere. The Cherokee County Courthouse, and the Supreme Court of the Cherokee Nation are some of the oldest brick structures in the state. The Murrell Home and Tsa La Gi Village preserve the past in historical settings. Fs There have been quite a few changes in the last 130 years. Now a prospering community of 12,000, Tahlequah lies in the heart of Oklahoma's Green Country. Tahlequah lies on the edge of the Ozark foothills and stretches over wooded hills and along clear _ free-flowing streams. The Illinois River, and Tenkiller Lake which impounds the cool, spring-fed water of the river, provides year-round sce- nic beauty and good times. Some things change, some remain the same. Though Tah- lequah is now a multi-ethnic community, its historical Cher- okee and cowboy days are reflected in the faces of present residents. Northeastern has a larger Indian enrollment than — any other university in the United States, and the principal chief of the Cherokees today is a Tahlequah resident. With its unspoiled natural set- ting and the growing popularity of the river country, Tahle- quah’s future is unlimited. Stat- isticians say Tahlequah could be a city of 100,000 by the year 2000. If that is the future, the _ changes have just begun. TsaLaGi 9 ah “ ae og 10 TsaLlaGi eo ; Campus appearance ripened daily with construction focused on a new centrally-located mall area. Guidance seemed to be the idea that planning and development had in mind as they added a new campus directory and street lamps along the sidewalks. Benches also were added along the way for weary campus trekkers. Construction workers who removed parking lots and no- longer-used sidewalks were fol- lowed by landscape workers who replaced the cement stretches with grass and trees — a pleasing switch in the way of development. Parking lots were slowly scraped from nearby empty lots on the outskirts of the campus to offset the continually mush- rooming need for parking spaces.

Rugged bluffs and cliffs like Sparrow- hawk and Goat’s Bluff were good for climbing, clambering and lonely, beautiful vistas. Not all of our fun was so calm and introspective. Peo- ple-watching over a donut in the din of the snack bar, vibrat- ing with the crowd roar over the winning basket, or just lis- tening to the thump of the bass guitar in some smoky room — we shared these experiences.

As a result, the board revamped previ- ous committee set-ups. UCAB redefined goals with the revi- sion of the constitution. The revision answered recurring challenges of the Student Senate for justification of the board's existence. Depending mostly on the University Center staff to advise, UCAB's leader- ship turned out successful programs for the university. Traditional events included the Spring and Winter Bashes, concerts, a ski trip, football game trips, dances and a spring break get-away to Padre Island, Tex. Movie selections for the year included such popular flicks as “The Exorcist,’’ ‘‘A Star Is Born,’’ and ‘Young Frankenstein.”’ An attempt to bring popular bands to campus did not prove encouraging for the UCAB. The Texas band “Asleep at the Wheel’ concert drew little attendance despite efforts to publicize. The UCAB did not allow the lack of a program director to hamper the pro- duction of quality and worthwhile pro- grams. There was too much to lose without a board to provide university recreational programming. But there was a lot to gain, both in leadership training and personal growth for students. f University Center Activities Board 21 Pant ns University life, as the popular com- a _ plaint goes, can sometimes be dull. _ This year, however, there was little substance for such complaint. There -. was music to excite the soul. The ‘‘Asleep at the Wheel’’ concert, sponsored by UCAB, attracted little ' attendance but drew high positive responses from the audience. The concert excited everyone to the band’s unique blend of music — country, _ Jazz and soft rock. The nationally famous Airmen of Note, official United States Air Force jazz ensemble, presented a public concert that packed the house. One student commented, ‘‘Gosh, they're good. Well, good is not the 22 Concerts oe o Concerts break college drabs word, there must be a better one to describe their performance. Actually it was fantastic.”’ 1977 marked the year for the NEOSU combo’s organization. Tal- ented students interested in the con- temporary beat were given the oppor- tunity to perform and work arrange- ments on their own. The combo's con- cert proved one of the best training grounds for student musicians. - The Tulsa Philharmonic provided a variation on the musical needs of the audience. Those who preferred relax- ing music were treated to a night's performance of the orchestra, which featured internationally-known pianist Byron Janis. v2 1.

It was suggested to Presi- dent Harrell E. Garrison that facilities be built to accommodate these fig- ures. The Oklahoma State Board of Regents approved bonds to finance the construction of three new dormito- ries on the NEOSU campus which would each house over 200 students. In the late ’60’s and early '70's, the community junior college concept became extremely popular with state legislatures and regents. Although the programs were favorable in many aspects, their growing success gradu- ally crippled the projected enrollment 24 Bonds and Collier figures for state universities (then state colleges) and abducted the majority of their prospective freshman and sophomore level housing resi- dents. It was in November of 1976 that NEOSU President Robert Collier first told the regents that there was a pos- sibility that the university might be forced to default on the dormitory bond payments. Collier was warned then that the university had a ‘‘legal and moral obligation to pay the bill.’’ At the June 1977 regents meeting, repeated warnings about the bond payments were directed at Collier, who was also under fire from the regents concerning an order to raise the stadium fees for the summer ses- sion. Collier had delayed raising the fees until the fall semester, challeng- ing their legality. It was also at this time in which Collier was rehired for another term and given a 6.7 percent increase in salary. After a two and one-half hour closed executive session with Collier during the July meeting, the regents voted 8- 1 to discharge the president from his position. In an attempt to explain Col- lier’s dismissal, regents’ chairman Jack M. Annis stated that it was a result of an ‘‘accumulation of financial problems and unrest, faculty unrest, student unrest and community unrest.”’ Rae OS UNC nt ave et 1.

Areas other than housing began to feel the crunch of the univer- sity’s desperate attempts to meet the _bond payments for which the regents had given NEOSU the full responsibil- eo lbe 1 te BSE I tt AT ity. Cutbacks in personnel and ser- vices were felt as well as higher prices on dorm rates, meal plans, tuition fees and even book prices. In January 1978, Collier com- mented in retrospect that had he the chance to repeat the last seven years he would do so ‘‘without hesitation.” “| feel that the extensive improve- ments we accomplished as an educa- tional institution during my adminis- tration speak well alone. Above all, | can say that | maintained a clear con- science and my integrity throughout the seven years and the ordeal which has followed.”’ Under Collier’s leadership, the fac- ulty salaries were raised to a third place ranking in a 42-university 10- state area of universities equal in size. A faculty-staff grievance committee was established and a recruitment program was implemented to turn around the sagging enrollment fig- ures at the beginning of his adminis- tration. Numerous new programs were started to offer a wider educa- tional selection to draw more students to NEOSU. In January, the Regents sought leg- islative help. A Senate bill was passed that would set up a revolving loan fund upon which NEOSU and North- western Oklahoma State University, Alva, could draw to meet bond debts. A House Resolution was introduced calling for state purchase of bonds from private holders.

Charles Waldie, director of the Resi- dential Life Center, resigned following staff and budget cuts at the housing center early in the year. “| waited until the last’ minute to resign because | really care for the students. For seven months | fought to retain the responsible freedom pro- gram and compromised whenever | could,’’ said Waldie. The departure of Waldie paved the way to a heated debate: on the one hand, it was argued, the program was effective and should remain; but on the other hand, it was claimed, the concept failed, thus the need for restrictive policies. This debate was reflected in the pour of letters to the editor of ‘‘The Northeastern. ’ The dif- ferences of opinions were as varied as the shades of brown. 26 Housing The discussion on the policies, how- ever, served only as a facade to the more serious problem of the bond default. Administrative measures were taken, some seemingly drastic. One was the staff and budget cuts at the Residential Life. Prices also went up at the University Center. The meal point booklets issued to dorm students so that they could choose where they wanted to eat on campus also came under fire. It took almost a year to find the elu- sive answer. A joint resolution calling for the pur- chase of revenue bonds by the state treasurer was introduced by Speaker of the House Bill Willis and Represent- ative Lonnie Abbott to allow North- eastern more time to pay off the bonds without adding additional inter- est. 1.

Housing 27 cs Summer plays draw interest - There was something about the Summer Theatre Program that made it appealing to many students inter- ested in drama. “The program was actually Speech 4104, which was a concentrated pro- gram of the same work we usually do in the fall and spring,’’ said Jim Mal- one, director. Malone directed all three plays pre- sented in the 1977 summer session: ‘Ten Little Indians,’ ‘‘Barefoot in the Park,’’ and ‘‘Hot L Baltimore.”’ ‘Preparation began at the onset of the summer session and we worked on all three plays at the same time. Afternoons were spent working on the second and third plays while evenings were devoted to the first one,’’ said Malone. The time spent on preparation seemed short compared to the fall and spring productions. ‘‘But,’’ as Malone put it, “the quality of the plays were unaffected.”’ 28 Summer Plays f | i} 1. ‘Barefoot in the Park.’’ Donna Walker as Mrs. Banks, pays a Surprise visit at the home of her newlywed daughter, Corry Bratters, played by Sharee Stokes. 2. ‘Ten Little Indians. ’ Paul Harrington as Sir Lawrence, Sherry Pack as Vera, Ruth Cheek as Mrs. Rogers, Diane Basden as Dr. Armstrong, Phil Weaver as Officer William Bolre, Ed James as Butler Roger, and Marshall Eiss as General Mckenzie, all gather around the maid as she passes out. 3.

It back as far as the middle: ages — eight to nine hundred years ago. _. The University Theatre's first pro- _ duction of the season, “The Lion in _Winter,’’ gave the audience a humor. ous glimpse of the medieval ages. Georg e Davis, playing Henry II, con- vinced the audience with a fiery por- trayal of the king. He brought Henry II life with a lusty vim and vigor. Eleanor of Acquitaine, played by illa Askew, projected the sharp, con- cing sarcasm of the aging queen. The simple and practical set of 30. ‘The Lion in Winter’ - seems even more difficult to travel. _ Mood of medieval royal family | captured in ‘Lion in Winter’ “The Lion in Winter’’ seemed more symbolic than realistic — symbolic of the cold, dark age of medieval history. The gothic arches supported on straight, l ong stands, centered atten- tion on actors rather than setting. The design allowed for swift, smooth changes of scenes. Although the play had sound histori- cal basis, it was treated rather humor- ously. “The play dealt with a scheming family. To get into something this heavy it had to have humor, ’ said Director Jim Malone. EEE 1. Theo Peshehonoff works on set construction for the production. 2.

She gulped and he squeezed harder. “Kill her, kill her!’ The audience screamed, banging on the seats, waving tightly closed fists up in the air.

And the audience was on his side,’’ Davis said. 32 ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest’ Play draws audience involvement ‘“‘Cuckoo’s’’ was one of four plays nominated to participate in the Regional College Theatre Festival in Fort Worth. Plays produced by 13 col- leges and universities in the state were entered in the Oklahoma College Theatre Festival in Oklahoma City where the four productions were cho- sen. The production sparked much dis- cussion on how it would compare to the successful movie version. The talk, however, did not bother the cast or crew. Director Charles Seat said he had not seen the movie and ‘twas glad he hadn't.” ‘ ‘Cuckoo’s’ was our own interpre- tation of the play. It was not influ- enced by the movie. In fact, it was completely different,’’ Seat said. 1. Bill Cloud as Martini, Martha Peters as San- — dra, Tim Johnson as Scanlon, Mark Holton as Cheswick, George Davis as Randel P.

But there is one very old university tradition that seems to grow brighter and draws larger student participation every year. The 1977 Homecoming on Oct. 15 proved it. The activities began with a letter- man’s breakfast at the University Cen- ter. Floats by campus organizations and Tahlequah city groups, clowns, and area high school bands paraded down main street, highlighting the day’s activities. The parade’s theme was ‘‘Tribute to Broadway.”’ James A. Killingsworth, head bas- 34 Homecoming ketball coach at Oklahoma State Uni- versity, and Kenneth Selby, founder of Ken’s Pizza Parlors, Inc., were hon- ored at the Alumni Homecoming ban- quet. Over 7,000 spectators joined the NEOSU team victory against East Cen- tral University, 35-14. Students went dance-hopping to close out the day’s events. Three dances were held almost simulta- neously — an alumni dance in the UC snackbar, a street dance sponsored by the Residential Life and UCAB, and two Greek dances at the UC ballroom and the Residential Life Center. 1.

A pep rally followed immediately to steam up spirit for the game.

Parents’ Day 37 Pow-Wow brings tribes together For someone unfamiliar, a pow- wow’s appeal lies only in its colorful and exciting pageantry. And it is sad that this interest must end there. Pow-wows, however, promise more than what meets the eye, for someone curious to find out: the rich history of the Indian heritage. - Northeastern, having the largest Indian student enrollment in the nation, makes a good place to begin a different approach in this interest. Regular pow-wows are held in Tah- lequah, most of which are sponsored by university organizations. The Native American Student Association and the Student Senate sponsored the annual fall pow-wow in November, the first such activity in 1977. ‘‘Pow-wows are kind of a social dance gathering for Indians and everybody. They are not ceremonial,”’ said Karen Wilde, NASA president. ‘‘There’s not very many public func- tions for Indians. A pow-wow serves this purpose,’’ she said. Steve Kinder, Quapaw senior, who sings In pow-wows, agrees with Wilde. ‘ ‘Pow-wows give people, especially 38 Pow-wow Indians, a chance to get together and have fun,”’ he said. The social function that the activity provides extends to the intriguing past of the pow-wows. In the 1800's members of different Indian tribes didn’t come together for gatherings. They confined themselves to their own tribal activities, according to Dr. Charles Noble, associate profes- sor of sociology and anthropologist. Dr. Noble is a Cherokee and Natchez Indian. As Indian tribes were moved to res- ervations, the need for traditional get- togethers became necessary. Hence, the pow-wow of today. ‘Those traditional gatherings used to have strong spiritual undercur- rents, typical of Indian activities, as most Indians are very religious,’’ said Dr. Noble. The drums circled form, said Dr. Noble, is symbolic of the universe. The drum beats and the singing are equally significant. Drum beats sup- posedly have healing powers, and sick people are seated near the drums. 1. Dancers start young, as shown by the little girl.

The first show of the series was the ‘“Thurber’’ show, a one-man presenta- tion by television personality William Windom. Windom packed the house, and gave the series the largest crowd for one show in many years. Concert pianist Rico Saccani from Tucson, Arizona, performed in the second show. The audience demanded an encore, and they got it. Russian folk songs, French and Latin concertos, and even a jazzy American tune (with a Russian accent, of course), were presented by the Moscow Chorale from the Soviet Union. The group was in its first US tour. The Eastern Brass Quintet, present- ing the last of four shows, exhibited their musical virtuosity and showman- ship. The five talented musicians com- bined their skills in the trumpets, trombone, tuba and french horn. Allied Arts Series 41 ft a 1.

Music provided by the Northeastern Singers, the Brass Choir and the Eliza- bethan Consort fascinated the audi- ence which came from neighboring states as well as the local areas. All feaste participants were attired in authentic 16th century costumes. Feaste-goers passed through a courtyard Renaissance Fair which fea- tured puppet shows, jesters and booths, prior to the dining hall entrance. The feaste began with two shows in 1970 after Jim Malone, drama instructor, and Dr. Ralph Whitworth, professor of music, visited a similar celebration at Illinois State University in Bloomington. Surprising success prompted the coordinators of the program to expand by. adding performances. This year the feaste was held for nine “nights. Northeastern is one of the 15-20 schools in the United States present- ing the program, according to Jim oa Reynolds, University Center director. “Ours is highly programmed — it involved five areas of the fine arts — art, vocal, wind and keyboard instru- ments, and drama. The UC is also involved,’’ Reynolds said. _ 3 Boares Heade Feaste 43 1. Board of Regents members, Dr. Jon Bruce, Dr. James A. Thomas, Dr. Tom Morgan and Dr. W. R. Bradford visited the campus to hear advice regarding the search and selection of the university president. 2. University Center Director Jim Reynolds looks over figures concerning the budget. 3. Dr. Lena-Belle Rotton occupied the chief administrative office vacated by Dr. John Lowe in student affairs. 4. It was back to full time teaching in political science for Dr. John Lowe. President sought; committee reviews applicants Seven faculty members, one from each div ision, a student, an adminis- tration member and a staff member all shared something in common: they were all elected to provide input in the presidential selection. The advisory committee’s duties and responsibilities were outlined by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. The committee reviewed and screened all applicants for the presi- dency. They selected and submitted to the board 25 unranked candidates. An amendment passed and approved by the regents allowed the committee to personally interview the 10 candidates chosen from the roster 44 Presidential Selection Committee of 25. From the top 10, five unranked finalists were selected, each one criti- qued in writing by the advisory com- mittee. The motion to involve the presiden- tial committee in the interviewing drew differing opinions from the board. Regent Ruth Holmes felt the motion unnecessary. “| feel that it is our responsibility, it is our choice, and we should make it,’’ Holmes said. But Regent James A. Thomas thought otherwise. ‘‘! believe it would be a benefit to this board to let the advisory commit- tee interview. Faculty and student input is invaluable, ’ he said. ‘‘I'd like to know what the representatives of the faculty want, what they can work with and what they think from their interview,’’ Dr. Thomas said. Dr. Leslie Fisher agreed with Thomas. “‘You can not look at a sheet of paper and tell what the body is going to be,’’ he stated. ““We're talking about the biggest decision this board will make in the next 20 years relative to this institu- tion,’’ Fisher said. The interview amendment passed with six votes and three abstentions. ot Rete ho ee Pat! Bile Napier ae a Administrators change positions For the political science division , Dr. John Lowe’s return to full-time teach- ing was more than welcome. But for the office of student affairs, the resig- nation was disappointing. Dr. Lowe, after serving as vice presi- dent of student affairs for nine and one-half years, felt a need for a change. ‘A person tends to run out of enthu- siasm, ideas and energy. | know what happens to me in a period of 10 years to remain in one position,’ said Dr. Lowe. ‘“‘Lam moving farther away from the real clientele of the university — the students. The reports, the heavy paperwork that goes through this desk (student affairs) denied me of the stu- dent contact | know | will find in a classroom,”’ he said. Dr. Lowe's resignation came in the midst of the housing controversy. According to Dr. Lowe, President Col- lier’s firing was a factor of his resigna- tion. ‘‘! worked for Collier for seven years. He stepped out of the picture at the time when | had already planned to resign. The timing was appropri- ate,’’ Dr. Lowe said. There are no regrets, however, for Dr. Lowe. He said that despite disap- pointments, he enjoyed his years of administrative service. The vice president of student affairs office was abolished on Lowe’s leav- ing. Dr. Lena Belle Rotton, dean of student affairs, was designated chief administrative officer of the office. Joining the resignation limelight was University Center Director Jim Reynolds, who served in that capacity for five and one-half years. ‘If I'm going to advance my career, | have to move on to larger cam- puses,’’ Reynolds said. He left to become associate director of the Memorial Student Center at Texas A M. Reynolds said that changes in UC goals affected his decision to resign. ‘‘In the middle of 1977 the UC was told to produce money for the dorm bond. We produced $80,000 to keep the dorm payments from defaulting. This changed monetary emphasis turned into a clouding of goals for the UC, ’ Reynolds said. a4, Administrators Change Positions 45 1.

It used to be the place to complete overdue reports and term papers — a source of scholarly learning materials. The John Vaughan Library sticks true to tradition. The same kind of almost solemn quietness, the same kind of ‘‘brainy’’ materials remain. Except that there is much more. At the library. In addition to the extensive selec- tion of books and periodicals, the library provides a variety of services to the university and the community. Along with the 25 member staff there are about 100 students who work in the library, according to Dr. David Eyman, director of services. They are the people who aid the many plagued with 12-hour term paper blues. The first floor of the library gets the most use, as it offers the card cata- logue, a vast reserve of reference materials, magazine subjects ranging from baby care to nuclear energy, and periodicals both local and national. The audio-visual reserve offers edu- cational film strips, slides, video tapes and even record albums from Bach to Diana Ross. The government documents area is yet to be used to its potential. ‘| would like to see the government documents area used more, mainly because of the valuable storage of knowledge available there. Most stu- dents are not aware of this,’’ said Dr. 45 a Eyman. Another area of the library that holds a lot of potential is the television studio. Video tapings are made on request of instructors. The 1977-78 home basketball games and the Stu- dent Senate meetings were taped by the studio and are available for view- ing at the audio-visual reserves. Popular novels, hobby books, text- books, cookbooks, how-to-manuals, travel books, children’s books and many more are all located on the sec- ond and third floors of the library. The John Vaughan Library has become not only a source of strictly scholarly materials but has grown to be the all-purpose, everything place. Got the term paper blues? At the library.

Elvis Presley, the ‘‘King’’ of rock n’ roll who emerged in the 50’s, died at the age of 42 at his Memphis Graceland mansion. His death sparked off a world-wide mourning by his fans of an intensity which has not been equaled in years. The crooner, Bing Crosby, and Guy Lombardo, whose name was synonymous with New Year’s Eve, also died, leav- ing great voids in the music community. Many old favorites and several newcomers delighted their listening audience with a wide range of music. Popular sing- 50 Entertainment ers and bands of the year included the Emotions, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Frampton, Barry Manilow, Stevie Wonder, Shaun Cassidy, Andy Gibb, Barbra Streisand, Donna Summers, Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jen- nings, Rita Coolidge, Crystal Gayle, Dolly Parton, and many more. The Bee Gees supplied the music for the movie ‘‘Saturday Night Fever’’ which starred John Travolta and stirred up the disco craze which swept the country.

Charlie Chaplin, rated in a depression era poll as one of the greatest men who ever lived, left the spotlight, as did another great clown of the silver screen, Groucho Marx. Television had one of its greatest years as ABC nosed into the number one spot with such hits as ‘Happy Days” and ‘Laverne and Shirley.” Many television sets were also tuned in to “Charlie's Angels,’ “Three's Company,’ ‘‘Family,”’ “Love Boat,”’ and the controversial ‘‘Soap. Entertainment 51 World leaders dominate headlines The Mideast remained a concern for the United States as it had for years, but in late November of 1977 a light of hope appeared when Egyptian President Anwar Sadat journeyed to Israel for. peace talks with Prime Minister Menahem Begin. This was the first official visit to Israel by an Arab leader since the Jewish state was created in 1948. Sadat made the trip in spite of strong and vocal opposi- tion of other Arab leaders. In the interests of peace he gambled his power in his home nation. Begin, a hardliner on Arab relations, risked his credibility at home, also. Then, as suddenly as the peace initiative began, Presi- dent-Sadat recalled his diplomats after a particularly strongworded dinner toast,by Begin, and the peace talks seemed to collapse. Later, Egypt decided to rejoin the talks, but many feared the move toward a settlement had lost its momentum. President Carter faced’ a battle with opponents of a 52 World News Panama Canal treaty that would relinquish American con- trol of the canal built during the administration of Theo- dore Roosevelt. Panamanians voted in favor of the treaty by a vast majority, but members of the United States Sen- ate planned to fight to keep the canal. International terrorism continued, but more and more governments adopted a ‘‘get tough’’ stance. Last June, Dutch police and troops stormed a train hijacked in rural Netherlands by nine South Moluccan gunmen. A crack group of West German anti-terrorist troops attacked the hijackers-of a Lufthansa airliner with special ‘‘numb”’ gre- nades and automatic weapons. Egyptian commandoes disguised as mechanics boarded an Egyptian jet in Luxor and disarmed three hijackers. How effective the new mili- tant approach would be in the long-run was not evident, but it did give people some relief knowing that their gov- ernments were not totally helpless against terrorists.

Despite the Communist victory in Vietndm,a new war was being fought in that part of Southeast Asia.

Another embarrassing moment for the President of the United States came on “his nine-day junket to Poland, Iran, India, Saudi Arabia; France and Belgium, when founded,’ Department interpreter Steven Seymour found that s a little rusty on his Polish. Carter's reference to ang the United States came out in Polish as ‘‘when | andoned the United States,’’ drawing chuckles from He. Polish crowd. When Carter said, ‘‘Our nation was the crowd laughed at Seymour's translation as “our nation was woven.'' And an allusion to the future hopes of the Polish people came out as ‘‘your lusts for the future.’’ On the President's return, Seymour was assigned to different translation work. Carter also grappled with the problem of deployment of a new type of nuclear weapon: the neutron bomb. Since it is a ‘‘clean’' bomb that creates little or no nuclear fall! out, proponents of the device felt it was a needed deterrent to growing Soviet superiority in European ground forces. The President also supported ending production of the B- 1-strategic bomber in favor of the yet untested cruise mis sile system that would be delivered by the aging fleet of B- 52 bombers.in time of war. Long columns of tractors were signs of the discontent of farmers who participated in a national farmer's strike. Wanting better prices for their products, farmers threat- ened not to produce vital food supplies. The strike lost Steam, but emphasized the need for better parity for the farmer.

There were times when their enthu- siasm encouraged the players to keep on going, and restored a new spirit to the fans. The cheerleaders spent hours prac- ticing for the new and different air of excitement at each game. They worked to get the students interested and planned so that each cheer would have good timing for the plays of the game. To raise funds, the cheerleaders held a raffle for groceries from Rea- sor’s Discount Foods. 102 Cheerleaders | ) 1. Cheerleaders.

University Chorus 105 Singers tour state schools The Northeastern Singers, directed by Dr. Ralph Whitworth, was an ensemble of 16 voices. The group's aim was to provide near-professional experience for tal- ented vocal students. Tryouts at the first of the year determined the com- ponents of the select choir. Music was varied with emphasis upon entertainment. In between work- ing up and rehearsing new numbers, the singers traveled to concerts at schools throughout Oklahoma. A major project for the singers was aiding the drama department with the production of ‘‘Fiddler on the Roof,”’ and their annual participation in the Boares Heade Feaste. Educators attend convention The Music Educators National Con- ference held a raffle for a 23-band citi- zens radio and also held a bake sale during November. The club also had speakers at their meetings, and many of the speakers emphasized the importance of having a good elementary music program. In December the M.E.N.C. held a formal Christmas banquet, and in the spring the group traveled to Oklahoma City to attend the Music Educators National Convention. eee SET ST ES OS ee ee Music Educators National Conference 1.

How well the campus newspaper informed the university community about these changes determined how well the newspaper was doing its job. The flow of news changed weekly. Some weeks, page editors prayed for copy to fill a page and other weeks there was more copy than they knew how to squeeze into the paper’s eight pages. At the fall meeting of the Oklahoma Collegiate Press Association, The Northeastern was awarded second place in university newspapers. With a staff composed mostly of seniors, the paper was in a rebuilding process getting ready for the next year, and efforts were made to recruit new students and transfer students. 1.

Out of this evolved a new tutoring program for the children of the Methodist Home in Tahlequah. To reach out to those on campus they, along with four other churches, organized a daily devotional time, which they held in University Center.

What was to have been the year of the Redmen turned out to be a year of frustration. It was quite evident as the season progressed that Northeastern was definitely not a second half team. In four of their five losses they were held completely scoreless during the third and fourth quarters. However, during the game with Central Arkansas, Northeastern man- aged to score during the final quarter of play. Several losses resulted from penal- ties, which also plagued the Redmen. They were penalized 28 times for over 294 yards. Northeastern only surmounted 811 yards in total offense as compared to 1,665 yards for the opponent in the games in which the Redmen suffered defeat. 1.

Naa ana | Football 175 Dobbins reflects on past, looks toward future The 1977-78 basketball season began with a new man at the controls, after Dr. Jack Dobbins resigned in the spring. Gary Bliss, a native of Utah, took over as Northeastern’s cage mentor, replacing a man whose name had become synonymous with NEOSU ath- letics. Beginning as a student athlete in 1947, Dobbins has been affiliated with NEOSU ever since, except for several brief high school coaching stints. The personable Dobbins, who retained his duties as Athletic Director and Chairman of the Division of Health, Physical Education and Safety, rolled up a 258-191 record as boss of the Redmen. His 17-year tour of duty saw two conference championships, including a 26-4 record in 1968, a year in which he was honored as NAIA Coach of the Year. From his office overlooking the hardwoods at Redmen Fieldhouse, Dobbins reflected upon the past. “All the years have been rewarding, mainly because of the close associa- tion with young people. Although the '68 season was exceptional, there were SO many good seasons, none really stands out, he said. After a year away from the coaching ranks Dobbins does not regret the move. “It was a wise decision at the time and | never try to second-guess myself.”’ Evidenced by the rapport he had with his squads, it is obvious what Dobbins missed the most. “I miss the association with the players and the actual teac hing situa- tion on the playing court,’’ claimed Dobbins. “Of course I’m still associated with the people and enjoy watching all our teams play. The extreme pressure of winning is gone, but | still feel the pressure of wanting all Northeastern teams to do well.”’ He feels his years on the bench will help in looking at the situation as ath- letic director. Dobbins constantly concerns him- self with the improvement and 176 Sports Feature upgrading of all facets of athletics at Northeastern. “To maintain a quality program, we've got to improve our facilities, especially for women and | think we have improved over the past sea- SOllSam “Our main concern is to get quality coaches, which | feel we have and have had for several years. With this done, we must provide competitive programs that will stay within our budgets.”’ With the rising costs of travel, meals and lodging, that is no easy chore. One thing done to become more com: petitive, though, was to play tougher competition. This was exemplified especially in the basketball schedules of the past two seasons which saw games with NCAA powers like South- ern Illinois and Memphis State. ‘‘When you play good people it moti- vates you to work harder and improve your own program, ’ explained Dob- bins. As far as the future is concerned, Dobbins does not rule out the possibil- ity of returning to the coaching ranks. ‘‘It would have to be an awfully good job at a good university and not include other duties such as Athletic Director and Division Chairman.”’ The Coweta native summed up his feelings very simply. ‘‘! love North- Easleinns For Jack Dobbins, it is evident the feeling from Northeastern is quite mutual. 1. Dr. Jack Dobbins, athletic director, concen- trates on just one of his many daily tasks. 2. Sports Information Director Jim Patterson busily jots down statistics during a Redmen bas- ketball game. 3. The Sports Information Staff fulfill each of their assigned duties during the Redmen bout with John Brown University. Working are Dor man Pryor, Jim Patterson, Steve Buzzard, Dona Carroll, Phil Burrows and Brian Johnson Versatility, skill, part of Patterson’s role There is probably no place on any college campus that employs people who work as many hours in as many places, doing as many things in as many ways under as much pressure as the Sports Information office per- sonnel. Here you will find possibly the rarest breed of human beings on the face of the earth. Their lives are centered around one of the most emotionally involved aspects of a society — competitive athletics, yet they are forced to remain emotionless. When others are rejoicing in the tri- bulation of victory, SID's must swallow their jubilation and carry on with their job. When last-second defeat turns stomachs inside out, SID’s must choke back disappointment and con- tinue with the business at hand. They are depended on for informa- tion, photographs, favors and enough numbers and statistics to short circuit a train load of Texas Instruments’ cal- culators. They travel enough miles during one football season alone to make the oldest Greyhound Bus Lines’ veteran green with envy. At Northeastern, the Sports Inform- ation Director’s slot is occupied by Jim Patterson, a 1970 graduate of NEOSU. Patterson conducts the day- to-day operation of informing the pub- lic about Northeastern’s many sports events. While the job is enjoyable, it is not always the easiest of tasks. ““You have to have good rapport with not only the media but the people within the university because that is where you get your information,’’ claimed Patterson. “You are not born with the ability to work with people,’’ he continued. “I've found that the more you do it, the easier it gets and the more you tend to enjoy it.”’ What is ahead in the field of sports publicity? ‘Several schools have added SID's in the last few years,’’ said Patterson. ‘‘In most of these schools, the job was being done by the coach, so it takes pressure off of him.” The Sports Information Director has no more of an eight-to-five job than he has a five-day work week. For the most part, the hours are long. Shed no tears, though, for the job can be rewarding. ‘“‘It makes anyone feel good to see their work published, to see some- thing you've worked hard on come out in the newspaper, ’ explained Patter- son, There are other rewards as well. In the last three years, Northeastern football brochures have won two awards, taking 10th in the NAIA in 1975, and second place in 1977. Sports Feature 1 77 1.

Men's Basketball Change played a very predominant role in the Northeastern Redmen bas- ketball program. With a new head coach and a host of transfers, the Redmen took on a dif- ferent style of play, a run-and-gun type offense, much to the delight of the fans. Long-time head coach Dr. Jack Dob- bins stepped down, along with Dr. Kenneth Holland, assistant head coach. Dobbins assumed the role of full-time athletic director and relin- quished his coaching duties to Gary Bliss. Bliss was assisted by Ron Stuts- man. In the early part of the season 45 fe AF g (i pS rT Major change sparks Redmen Northeastern lost many decisions by a margin of two to three points. The Redmen squad was definitely not a road team. All of their losses in the first half of the season came while on the road. Consequently, they proved to be a very talented and ver- satile club despite the heavy number of losses. One thing for certain was the fact that the Redmen seemed to win their home games. The Redmen hosted a tough 27 game schedule, including an awe- some Memphis State and University of Tulsa teams. Men’s Basketball 179 Redmen quick; tie for second After defeating Southeastern 77-67, NEOSU surged to a second place fin- ish with the Savages, just behind top- seeded Southwestern. The victory clinched a much sought after berth at the NAIA district nine playoffs, the first time since 1972. Twice during the regular season NEOSU suffered losses to OIC cham- pion SWOSU, and had to face the pow- erful Bulldogs during first round action of the playoffs. The Redmen again fell to defeat and were pinned with an 88-70 loss. The Redmen finished the season with an impressive 12-1 home mark anda 14-14 overall record. 180 Men’s Basketball aK 4 BASKETBALL Arkansas Tech Harding 87 82 Ozark Bible College 84 107 Memphis State University 103 81 College of the Ozarks 80 96 Oklahoma Baptist 76 74 Evangel 80 78 Oklahoma Baptist at 89 Central Arkansas 68 73 Phillips University 95 94 Arkansas Tech 63 69 Central Arkansas 87 61 Harding 92 100 University of Tulsa 83 67 John Brown 79 76 College of the Ozarks 74 72 Phillips University 75 84 Southwestern 80 71 East Central 60 50 Evangel 74 86 John Brown 70 71 Northwestern 7a HI Southwestern 81 62 Southeastern 67 73 East Central 45 53 Northwestern 57, 59 Southeastern 67 a, Southwestern af aj T He ASTER, , 1.

Also adding to the Lady Red cam- paign were several experienced fresh- men players as well as junior college transfers. Coach Mason stated, ‘‘They are a great group to work with. They love to play basketball and are highly compe- titive.’’ She also added, ‘‘The squad has the inner drive to excel, they are fast, quick, and they understand game strategy very well.”’ Women’s Basketball Women nab regional berth For the first time in Northeastern’s history, the NEOSU women’s basket- ball team nabbed a playoff berth at the SWAIWA regional tournament at Nacogdoches, TX. Participating teams were from Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. In the tournament, the Lady Reds fell prey to a tough Texas Tech squad 81-39. After this disappointing loss, NEOSU again went down to defeat, at the hands of McNeese (La.) 56-50. The Lady Reds also captured an impressive third place finish at the OAIAW state tournament held in the NEOSU Fieldhouse. The women downed East Central in the opener 55-42 but were unable to overcome powerful and top ranked Oral Roberts, which pinned a 67-53 loss on the Lady Reds. After rallying from behind, the Lady Reds then went on to defeat Central State 51-48. The Lady Reds finished the season with an 11-7 record behind the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, Jo Etta Van Brunt and Jonita Ford.

This was the first time that the wom- en's volleyball team had ever placed in state competition. The win enabled the squad to advance into the regional tournament. The team started the season by learning a new offense and defense. The first part of the season was disap- pointing but through hard work, good attitude, and the desire to play, the team moved well and gained confi- dence during the 2nd half of the sea- son. Head coach Dr. Ina Anderson 186 Volleyball stated, ‘‘l was particularly pleased with the way the team learned to play together and be concerned for one another.’’ She also added that, ‘‘On more than one occasion the bench won games either by going into the game and making an essential play or by the encouragement and enthusi- asm they generated while on the bench.”’ Leading servers included, Jill Over- huls and Jonita Ford who both led with 63 serves, which the team scored on. Outstanding blockers were Ford and Gina Lyons. The leading spikers were Overhuls, Ford, and Lyons who aver- aged seven per game. 1. Gina Lyons returns ball to opponents. 2. Volleyball Team.

There are four universities in the state of Oklahoma with gymnas- tics teams that compete at the inter- collegiate level. These schools other than Northeastern include Oklahoma State University, Oral Roberts Univer- sity and Central State University. During the 1977-78 season inter- collegiate competition went from com- pulsories to optionals. ‘‘AIAW rules State that gymnasts must compete in optionals,’’ stated Sturdevant. “They have to make up their own moves which must include moves of both medium difficulty and superior diffi- culty.”’ The lack of adequate facilities, scholarships and male spotters inevi- tably affected the success of the team. The lady gymnasts’ schedule included meets at each school repre- sented within the state, as well as the State meet at Oral Roberts held in Feb- ruary.

The primary goal of NEOSU is to provide educational services. Educational programs and related services give credence to requesting state expenditures and support of the institution. In view of these goals, the instruc- tional program was given priority dur- ing this year. There was a feeling of some inse- curity on the campus when a change in the presidency occurred on July 21, 1977. The staff rallied immediately to support the university and to carry out assigned responsibilities. For this sup- port | am grateful. The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges showed a dedication to promote and support the university. | respect every individual and believe in respecting personal integ- rity with the hope that each person has a self respect, a respect for oth- ers, and a desire to excel in their cho- sen field. | believe my primary responsibility as president is to give direction to the efforts of staff and students toward meeting university goals. How well | do this is determined by how well the potential of the staff and the students is used in educational activities that support the university. During 1977-78 some of the admin- istrative and support personnel posi- tions have been reassigned to other personnel, thereby conserving resources which have been used to support primary functions. A strong emphasis was placed on improving living conditions in univer- sity housing in both physical and social areas. Three maintenance forces were consolidated into one with organized and coordinated efforts, thereby con- serving resources and providing for effective utilization of staff abilities. The budget committee was expanded from five individuals to 14 campus supervisors with faculty and student representation. This group serves in an advisory capacity. A program for conservation of energy with definite action toward this goal was developed and implemented. The sixteen educational programs pending with the State Regents were recalled and a priority listing based on need and potentials for service were identified. Two master’s level pro- grams were resubmitted for consider- ation. Administration 207 Executive Secretary Dr. G. K. Allen, Jack Annis, Dr. W. R. Bradford, Dr. Jon Bruce, H. A.

Lowe Vice President, Student Affairs The Student Affairs office is respon- sible for offering a variety of student services designed to complement the academic experiences available on campus. While we recognize that the academic objective of the student must be his first priority, we feel that the development of the student's potential can and does take place in many places other than the class- room. Our objective is to provide an array of services appropriate to the needs of the student body. We recognize that many different situations can interfere with a student’s academic progress that have nothing to do with his aca- demic capabilities and we consider it to be our obligation to assist the stu- dent in dealing with those situations. Dr. Lena Belle Rotton Dean, Student Affairs | constantly strive to improve the quality of student personnel services to the students. Students of NEOSU as the consumers of what the college offers are perhaps in the best position of all to make suggestions for further improvements. It is the philosophy by which | function to carefully analyze these suggestions and consider them for adoption and implementation into the student affairs services. Administration 209 Lindsey C.

Helton Vice President, Planning and Development The development and periodic rev- ersion of our campus master plan helps us determine the type of facili- ties we are going to need five years in the future and initiate the necessary action to obtain them. | have enjoyed watching our institution grow from a small college with no permanent buildings east of Seminary Hall to an academically respectable institution with a very attractive campus. Fred E. Hager Director, Physical Plant and Personnel Services | think the most pleasant part of my job is working with and for the univer- sity’s personnel. In management, it is not important what an administrator can do himself, but what he can moti- vate the personnel under his supervi- sion to do. Probably the most chal- lenging part of my responsibility is reorganizing the maintenance crews into one effective organization. 210 Administration Net Se eee A AA Dr. James T. Sego Associate Academic Dean The university exists to teach stu- dents, and the goal of this office is to direct and complement that effort. As the needs of society change, so must the university. It is our responsibility to coordinate and influence decisions that effect educational change. To give direction to this effort we must analyze the past. This may not pro- duce a flawless picture of the future, but tempered with logic and reason it is the most reliable key that we have. Dr. Marjorie D. Holland Dean of the Graduate College Graduate programs are intended to meet the needs of students and the needs of society that are not fulfilled by bachelor’s degree program — needs that can only be met by advanced and specialized study i n a particular field. One of my major goals is to help in the development of addi- tional graduate programs so that a wide range of needs may be met. Dr. W. Neil Morton Director of Continuing Education As director of continuing education, | view the provision of special pro- grams for new clientele as the most exciting and rewarding step in the evolution from the traditional college role to university status. Current attitudes of those individu- als and organizations involved with educational planning reflect drastic changes in the role and organization of higher education during the Ejight- ies. The university’s present involve- ment with public service and continu- ing education will provide a strong base for meeting these challenges by extending the resources of the univer- sity to the residents of northeastern Oklahoma. Administration 211 Dr. Kirk Boatright Dean, College of Arts and Sciences’ At NEOSU, all departments, divi- sions and colleges are members of a team. It is my responsibility as dean of Arts and Sciences to encourage, pro- mote, support and direct the profes- sional competence and enthusiasm of the faculty and staff to best utilize the resources available so that this college might play its part of the Northeastern team. Dr. Tom Cottrill Chairman, Arts and Letters Division While many experiences constitute “‘college,’’ | feel our primary responsi- bility is that of teaching; without it the rest of ‘‘college’’ could take place any- where. My greatest responsibility is to give our faculty whatever assistance | can to help develop the best academic program possible. 212 Administration PERT ELELe cde | Everett M. Grigsby Chairman, Division of Natural Science and Mathematics We are competing with the other state universities to attract the best students, and our programs must compare favorably with theirs. It is a tremendous challenge to maintain a top-quality program that will develop the potential of these students. Dr. V. Lyle Haskins Chairman, Social Science Division My function is one of leadership and coordination of our activities and objectives. Since faculty have the same level of training and expertise as administrative supervisors, great dip- lomatic skills and tactfulness are required. The challenge of motivating highly educated experts who are trained as independent scholars to work together for common goals is especially interesting. Dr. M. L. McClure Dean, College of Behavioral Science During the past 20 years | have never ceased to find the field of human behavior fascinating. The average person only occasionally gets a glimpse of the factors that drive him to behave as he does, and for a great many this momentary insight is so frightening that they immediately run for some escape and gladly give the responsi- bility for decision making to a parent surrogate, little realizing that they have also relinquished much of their freedom to be a unique individual. Mankind is only in his infancy in terms of understanding himself, and thus, other people, but the greatest thrill an educator can experience is to associate with and teach that occasional stu- dent who truly demonstrates an inquiring mind and has the courage to seek truth wherever it might lead. Dr. Raymond L. Archer Chairman, Division of Education and Psychology | view our objective as a social experience in learning through which the student is provided an opportunity to develop personally, socially and academically. Although our major obligation is to provide for and seek better ways of meeting the needs of students. Dr. Jack Dobbins Chairman, Division of Health, Physical Education and Safety Educators should strive to increase the physical and social growth, as well as the mental development of students. | believe health and physical education should provide learning expe- riences through academic courses, intramural activities, and intercolle- giate athletics that will stimulate the growth and development of stu- dents. Administration 213 = oS IST NTT SE TUTTE wunenel VAAL SISLIVNY TO: q Abt ve VA i AAAS Dr. Earl R. Williams Dean, College of Business and Industry As dean, | attempt to facilitate the educational process by developing plans and procedures which will con- tribute to the well-being of students. re One of my primary objectives is to the work closely with business and indus- Bl | try to discern their employment needs aa 4 and then design programs to meet these needs. This work is exciting and ok challenging because the required knowledge and skills are constantly changing. My job has been rewarding because we have been highly success- ful and businesses are returning to more graduates each year. SNISLIASACY ae Z ( Dr. Edward J. O’Brien Chairman, Division of Business Many problems which students and instructors encounter are the problems which | must attempt to improve in the operation of the Division of Business. Challenges which divi- sion faculty and | are meeting include responding to the increasing number of women entering the university to pur- sue professional studies, the development of the internship in the business program, and the continual effort to enrich academic programs. An administrator works through oth- ers, and my work is made pleasurable by the talent, wit, and professionalism of the people in the division. 214 Administration Dr. Vernon Isom Chairman, Division of Practical Arts We consider the walls of our classrooms and laboratories non-existent. Indeed, the world is our laboratory where stu- dents are exposed to working, making decisions and learn- ing to get along with co-workers on a routine daily job. Hopefully, when our students leave us, they not only can follow and devise sensible sets of instructions, but more importantly if all instructions are suddenly abolished, they can arrive at solutions using their own ingenuity. James A. Watkins Director, Admissions and Records We help in recruiting, admitting, and registering students; keeping per- manent records, determining prog- ress and issuing diplomas. Serving people is not always easy because communication between peo- ple is never perfect. What we all have to remember is that no one ever prom- ised that trying to do something worthwhile would be easy, and that includes a job, learning, and teaching. J. K. Hulcher Director of Student Aids Financial assistance is a fully- accepted concept in higher education and especially here at NEOSU. This concept is compatible with my con- servative but progressive philosophy in providing an opportunity for stu- dents to assist themselves to a higher standard of living. The position of Director of Student Aids has afforded me the opportunity to reach the goal of assisti ng many people in achieving a better way of life through higher education, which is the prime purpose of this university. Perry D. Hanan Acting Director, New Student Advisement New Student Advisement serves new students until their academic plans are made. Beginning freshmen are assisted with initial enrollment. Then through weekly orientation classes, students are introduced to a variety of topics — correspondence courses, tutoring, dropping and add- ing classes, financial assistance, advanced standing, etc. As Acting Director, it is my goal to make sure that New Student Advise- ment operates effectively and effi- ciently until Mr. Nunley, the director returns. Administration 215 Leonard W. Rainwater Director, University Placement Services Executive Director, Alumni Association Placement Services functions under the philosophy that job placement is an integral part of the total academic process; that the university has an - obligation to provide the best possible service to seniors and alumni. To assist graduating seniors find employment provides deep personal satisfaction. In the Alumni Association, | pro- mote the university by keeping mem- bers informed through the Alumni Newsletter, the Northeastern, and Homecoming activities. Jim Reynolds University Center Director The primary challe nge in the man- agement of auxiliary enterprises lies in balancing the needs, interests and requirements of the students, the uni- versity, the community and the state within the framework of financial self- sufficiency. The Auxiliary Services Management team is a group of specialists. We are managers, accountants and adminis- trators. But most importantly, we are educators. We are here primarily to assist in the development of human beings. Dr. David H. Eyman Director of Library Learning Resources Center Throughout my professional career | have been interested in the problems of providing library services to aca- demic communities. Finding the information that a particular student needs for his studies requires knowl- edge both of the way information is stored and the way students tend to think. | find it very satisfying to help meet the informational needs of the campus. 216 Administration Dr. Lonnie W. Fuson Director of Intern Teaching It is a real privilege to work in NEO- SU's intern teaching program. It is the point in time for the students to have the opportunities to test the the- ory and apply knowledge gained from the various aspects of our teacher education program. Our pre-intern progr am that has been recently developed is an excel- lent experience in our teacher educa- tion program. It allows our students to gain experience early in their edu- cation in the subject they plan to teach in a public school setting. Hopefully these experiences will help the student firm up their educational goals as well as gaining valuable experiences for teaching. Dr. William T. Riddle Director of Special Education As a continually changing and emerging field, spacial education is stimulating and rewarding. This has been especially true at NEOSU. With the participation of quality students and an outstanding faculty, our pro- gram has gained nationwide recogni- tion as a comprehensive program which produces well qualified profes- sionals. Special education continually faces new challenges resulting from increased recognition by the general public and legislation designed to insure appropriate educational opportunity for all. Dr. R. Fount Holland Associate Professor Teacher Certification Officer The Office for Teacher Certification reviews applications from persons seeking teaching credentials through NEOSU; state law requires that they be recommended by the institution of higher learning where academic work was completed. Annually, about 2,000 persons are recommended by NEOSU for original certificates and certification renewal. As co-director of Education Profes- sionals for Indian Children, | am involved in the professional prepara- tion of Indian teachers, counselors and administrators. Administration 217 Jim Patterson Director of Sports Information and University Publications | enjoy my work in the area of sports and brochures in the Department of Media and Public Relations very much because it not only gives me a chance to work with students at Northeastern, but also with colleagues locally and statewide. 218 Faculty and Staff Delmar R. Asbill Supervisor of Photographic Services Working with students of the univer- sity has been one of the most reward- ing facets of my life. Patience is greatly rewarded by the satisfaction seen on a student’s face when he suc- cessfully completes his assigned job. As | keep an open mind | shall con- tinue to learn from the students, because they are my best teachers. Dottie Witter Director of Student Publications As Director of Student Publications, | feel that | should be an advisor and a human resource for the students on the Tsa La Gi yearbook and The North- eastern newspaper. The student publications are staffed and operated by Northeastern stu- dents. By being a part of a staff, the students learn to work together, to use their talents, to accept responsibility and to use that responsibility in a pro- fessional manner. The experience which they gain is something which they can use the rest of their lives, no matter what their profession. Lois LaRue Bradley Director of Counseling Center It's exciting working with colleagues who enjoy helping others learn to like themselves by guiding them in seek- ing realistic goals that will be reward- ing and self-enhancing. Physical and emotional health and academic achievement are closely rel- ated. Intelligence and motivation alone can not always bring success. People who are unhappy, unrealistic or fail to take responsibility for their own behavior, will not be good stu- dents or good citizens. R. E. Frusher Director of Security Although many students view my position as a necessary evil that must be tolerated, | have enjoyed being at Northeastern for the past eight years. | consider myself a professional offi- cer, having worked 20 years for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. | am sure most of the students on campus are aware of our traffic prob- lems, either in driving or parking. | hope to be able to eliminate most of these. Our campus is changing each year and we must be ready to change with it. Estel Hamby Maintenance Supervisor In the year that | have served as maintenance supervisor, | have been greatly challenged by the task of keep- ing the University property in the best condition possible. | have recently been given the additional responsibil- ity of the dorms and apartments, and hope to have them in good condition in the near future.

He’s a recognized authority in his field! Herrlein: Dispelling Myths Dr. Donald Herrlein, instructor and guidance counselor, expresses a spe- cial love for people and life itself. He doesn’t emphasize any clear-cut dis- tinction between teachers and stu- dents: students and teachers are both just people, he says. He treats all stu- dents with the same respect. ‘‘I feel that it is important that we try to put ourselves in other people’s places,’’ Herrlein says. His interests extend far beyond the classroom walls. In one semester alone, he spent 175 hours in non-aca- demic counseling. He also finds the time to be active in civic affairs and more than 30 campus-related activi- ties. It is his special interest in people that enables him to learn the names of over 300 students each semester and to remember those previously learned. The course Dr. Herrlein teaches in the psychology of human sexuality got its start about four years ago as a min- imester class. ‘‘In the psychology classes | taught, when we covered a textbook chapter on sex or held discussions, | was sur- prised at the lack of sexual informa- tion of my students. These people had never been taught facts. What little information they had was largely made up of fallacies and myths. | finally decided it was time that a class be taught in the area that students so desperately needed to be educated. | thought maybe a little preventive med- icine might save everyone a lot of time and trouble,’’ Dr. Herrlein said. Being popular with students and faculty is not unusual for many of the NEOSU faculty. But being selected by both as Outstanding Teacher of the Year in 1976-77 was an honor and award that he placed at the top of his list, Herrlein said.
