I find myself only half ready in heart and mind because of wasted, careless hours. I fear that I will again be tempted to sloth, to be content with half-truth, to support of doubtful causes. I beg Thy forgiveness and Thy cleansing and courage. elp me never to forget, most loving Lord, that the burden of work that is lifted from me is no heavier than the burden of trust that is placed upon me by this call to study. May the need of the world for clarity and commitment be the need that speaks to me, the need for men and women who have drunk deep of the wisdom of the ages, who have studied hard the conditions of slavery and exploitation, who have pushed through obstacles to new dimensions of life, who will not be content with hostilities where might be reconciliation. Grant, Father of all mankind, that I may know the dignity of this call to be a student, That I may never lose sight of the needs of the world I am called to meet, that I may always be assured of Thy presence and Thy power as I enter now this college experience. Amen. Tracy Graham Table of Contents 3 DEDICATION Wayne Lane and his wife, Bettielou, met while both worked at Northwestern. S he now works for the Northwest Area Vo-Tech in Alva. At a roast attended by family and friends, Lane re- ceived a personal computer with word processing capabil- ity as his retirement present. At the end of the roast, Mr. and Mrs. Lane pose with M argaret and John Barton, left h the latter was master of ceremonies at the roast and is a lang-time friend and colleaguet, and Terry and T ina Winn. Winn is a former student of Lane's who was named director of public rela- tions to succeed him. Equal time was given to the roastee to answer some of the remarks that were made during the evening. 4 Dedication ayne Lane After 28 years at Northwestern, Wayne : ne, director of public relations and assis- nt professor of journalism, retired Jan. 1, 88. Although Lane served the university th unsurpassed dedication, it is his ami- ble personal style for which he is best own. ITve never known anyone who is as uni- rsally well-likedf said a former student. 81 donit think you could find anyone any- ere who would say a single bad word uout Wayne Lane? added one of his col- : gues. But while Lane is known for his easy- ing, helpful attitude, he likely will be best I embered for his professional contribu- us. It was under Laneis direction that the rthwestern News was expanded from a r-page biweekly to its current weekly 4 mat. Lane was also principally responsi- ble for the formation of the mass communi- cations degree program, which is now among the fastest growing on campus. He also directed the expansion of the public relations and sports information services. Though his talents and professional repu- tation have presented him with opportuni- ties to move on, Lane has opted to stay at Northwestern. 81 came here expecting to stay? said Lane, who joined the Northwestern staff after eight years as a wire editor at the Wichita Falls, Texas, Times. tIThis was the kind of job I had been looking for, and I found the type of satisfaction I expected. I stayed because it offered variety, new chal- lenges and opportunities to develop? His college days at the University of Oklahoma were interrupted by two and one-half years in the Army Air Corps dur- ing World War II and again by a year and a half of work on his hometown newspaper. He earned a bachelors degree in 1950 and a masterls in 1951, both at CU. Although the variety of work Lane does is important to him, he admits to a favorite aspect of his job. 1Tve enjoyed most the work with stu- dents on the production of the newspaper and being able to see them develop their own skills and confidencesfi said Lane, who has persevered through hundreds of late Wednesday nights working on the newspa- per. In addition to his work at the university, he serves on the board of directors of Okla- homais Red Carpet Country and is editor of the Red Carpet Country News, posts he will keep after retirement. With the rest of his time, Lane says he expects to Iiturn some woodii and 11pursue some other interests? Dedication 5 Herod Hall, erected in 1923.

The second happening is that there is still not enough parking space. The third and final event is that tuition is going to be higher than when you last enrolled.

Many of the special classes and seminars hich are presented each summer were held as usual. Those include the childrenhs theater program, resource awareness pro- gram, elementary school physical educa- tion and communication media design. Also, many of the usual activities oc- curred as usualafreshman orientation, buildings and grounds maintenance and re- modeling, sports recruiting and the eight- man all-star football game. However, there were some new courses and activities to stir interest. The home eco- nomics department presented seminars on consumer education and family finance and problems and issues of nutrition. The biology department sponsored a two- day bird study and Milburn Barton and Bob Battisti cooperated on a basketball camp. Area elementary and secondary teachers and administrators had the opportunity to learn about computers and 15 persons en- rolled for conversational German. The formation of the Rangers Sports Network was announced, the campus com- puter system upgraded, the budget in- creased slightly by the board of regents and Candid Campus came to film a segment for that television show. All in all, it was a fairly lively summer after all.

Despite Alvais reputation as a ihhickii town, with nothing much to do in the way of recreation, students here do not seem to have that much trouble filling up the hours available to them. At the top of the list of things to do tor at least it should bei is studying for tests, writing term papers, doing homework. The min- utes left can be filled with intramural sports, watching television 3? FORTY WINKS.

Leisure 2 3 Men allegedly shirking duties Whatever happened to the old-fashioned date where the boy made all of the arrangements, picked the girl up, treated her like a queen and even paid for it? Now days, this scene can only be found in a 19505 movie. Not only does the boy never call the girl to set up a date, but when he does it, it is only to go get a coke or to invite her over to watch a movie with about 10 other people who have split the cost of the movie rental. If by some remote chance a date does take place, it is not the boy who calls the girl, but the exact opposite. With the onset of the 805 and the push for the ERA came the acceptance of a girl to call any boy that she pleases and ask him out. Then the couple must face the problem of who is going to pick up the tab. Do they go dutch or does the boy do the honors since it is the proper thing to do? Another problem facing todayis dating practices is the terminol- ogy used. After a couple has gone out a few times, regardless of who instigated the relationship, what term is used to describe the happenings? The term ttgoing togetherli cannot be used without an agreement that the couple will date each other. The term ltdatingll is completely out of the question since no one has actually gone out on a date. But then there is the term llseeing each otherli, which could simply mean that the couple is standing within each other,s line-of-sight. But it is not completely the menis fault. The girl in every rela- tionship has allowed this to happen. Women donlt stand up for their old-fashioned beliefs any more. They have conceded to making the phone calls and planning the evenings. They have accepted the fact that the men of the world are shirking their duties and donlt ever intend to change. No matter how you look at it, dating is out. Unfortunately, it probably went out with the hula-hoop. by Vicki Nighswonger T HE LOUNGE at Fryer Hall provides a convenient meeting place for Sherri Johnson and Paul Verble to study together.

While much of the general popu- ion makes best-sellers out of every diet book that comes along, dents are more likely to work off extra pounds rather than diet m off. Between walking all over campus to get to various classes, stay- : up late to study and t or partyl and usually not being too fond of eteria food, Northwestern students usually do not have too ch of a problem pound-wise. However, they can also take advan- e of a great many opportunities to burn up calories. he physical education department offers a good variety of phys- ical activity courses tfor which you can even earn credit hoursl ranging from bowling to volleyball to aerobics to square dancing . . . and many in between. The intramural department schedules a full slate of team and individual competitions both spring and fall semesters. If this isnlt enough, the pool is usually open for recreational swimming in the evenings year-round and tennis and basketball courts and even a frisbee golf course are just waiting for student use.

T here have been two extensive remodelings which have completely changed the appearance and character of the structure. At one time the main cafeteria for dorm residents, the Student Center now houses a recreation center and snack bar, the university bookstore and special dining and meeting rooms on the first floor. A couple of years ago, a seldom used lounge area on the west side was remodeled to serve as offices for the university's alumni association and foundation. I INDUS T RIAL EDUCAT I 0N BUILDING.

Any hint of spring-likc weather brings ut the shorts and the bicycles. Everyone as an uncontrollable urge to get out and njoy the sunshine and fresh air. During the fall semester, a friend of mine rought his motorcycle up from home. Since the first day that I saw he had it here, I was dying to ride it. However, every day that I had free, it was about 200 outside or raining. Finally, a Sunday arrived that was the big day. The sun was out, the temperature was perfect and I was ready to ride. I met my friend at the dorm, hopped on the back of his bike and away we rode. Little did we now what this joy ride had in store for us. Things were going great. I was terrified at first, but was beginning to relax and truly enjoy myself, when . . . We were headed down a black-topped road when we came around a curve. Almost without any warning, the bike and my friend went sliding in one direction and I went rolling in another. Although neither one of us were seriously injured, we had set ourselves up for grave disaster. My friend and I had not had the foresight or the brains to wear helmets. I had decided that I didnit want to mess with one because they look so ridiculous. After enduring the scrape on my fore- head and sustaining my first black eye in 13 years, I wish I had taken the fashion risk. Motorcycling seems to become more popular with the arrival of each spring. My advice is to practice motorcycle safety. Be smart and count yourself among the 65.3 percent of riders who always wear helmets. Vicki Nighswonger READY TO RIDE.

One day I woke up and proceeded with my morning ritual: I crawled out of bed, tripped over my pile of dirty clothes, dodged my pile of'clean clothes, grabbed my pants and made it to the shower. After my shower, I managed to sneak past my roommates shoes in the middle of the hall. Pushing books off the couch onto the floor, I made myself comfy to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Suddenly, there was a knock on the front door. Dodging cans and a pizza box, I an- swered and, lo and behold, it was our land- lord. He was there to make repairs, he quickly announced, and disappeared down the hall. I was wondering what he thought of the mess when there was a bloodcurdling scream. Mr. Landlord hwhose name shall remain a secretl ran out the front door and has not been seen since. After that episode, we decided to clean on Saturdays. This was great until that time of year when all guys give up their week- ends for that duty to which we have been appointed. Yes, I mean watching football. At first, we tricked our friends into help- ing . . . iIHey, this is great! Want to help? or liWhy donit you grab that and then we,ll watch the game? Soon though, we were found out.

They are the sign of progress. As the saying goes, life without progression is regression. But there is also the saying of donlt fix something that isnlt broken. The campusl most popular morning snack was a chocolate chip cookie and a coke. By 10 am, most of the student body had been in the Snack Bar to purchase their morning snack. The day before spring break was a day like any other. Students gathered in the Student Center for their cookies and cokes. What to their surprise did they find? The Snack Bar was trying to pass off raisin cook- ies for chocolate chip. There is nothing worse to sit down for your morning munchies with what you think is a chocolate chip cookie and bite into a raisin. Yukkkk! I donlt think that I am alone in saying that raisins should be left as grapes. But my biggest gripe was the transformation the 'cookies had undergone in recent weeks. Whatever happened to the monster-size cookies so filled with chocolate chips that they put Chips Ahoy to shame? What the Snack Bar tried to pass off as cookies were about half the size of their predecessors, but were sold for the same price. The cookies were being baked in the cafeteria instead of the Snack Bar like they used to be. With a change in baking site, came a completely different item. After spring break, the cookies were small discs of varying textures and colors. The originals were the size of a saucer and, if you got there at the right time, were just out of the oven and so warm that the plastic 48 Life 8: Times wrappings stuck together. You could no longer find a good, old- fashioned oatmeal cookie somewhat like mom used to make. They were now called Ranger cookies and tasted more like a sugar cookie than oatmeal. Now dont get me wrong, Ilm as loyal a Ranger fan as the next guy. I lost my voice cheering the basketball teams on at the playoff games and I never missed a football game. I even traveled to Ada to watch the game against East Central. But a cooki I tried to imagine what red and bla ingredients could have been used in the re ipe, but the possibilities frightened m Maybe it was a home recipe of Capta Ranger.

Northwestern celebrated its 90th anni- versary year in 1987-88. The main celebra- tion was Aug. 20, the first day of school, with more than 200 students, faculty and visitors attending a variety of events on campus. Rich Cantillon, 1981 graduate and chair- man of the 90th anniversary committee, de- livered opening remarks before the tradi- tional ringing of the bell which called stu- dents to classes in the early days of the school. Ringing the bell were James Brad- ley, president of the Alumni Association, and Tim Kinzie, president of the Student Government Association. Following that, Dr. Joe Struckle, presi- dent of the university, raised the 90th anni- versary Hag, designed by art major Bryce Burnett. The celebration then moved to Herod Hall for remarks by Dr. Struckle; Bert Mackie, member of the Board of Regents; and State Senator Olin Branstetter, who presented a citation of congratulations to Dr. Struckle from Governor Henry Bell- mon and the State Senate. A slide presentation followed, presenting a pictorial history of Northwestern. The celebration ended with a reception in the East Ranger Room of the Student Center. A few weeks later on Sept. 12, the first Parents Day since the 19605 was held on campus. The event was sponsored by SGA, the Alva Main Street Project and Alva Chamber of Commerce. The days activities kicked off with a re- ception for students, parents and faculty in the Student Center. The welcome was given by Dr. Struckle and coffee and doughnuts were served. Parents attending the reception received a packet of goodies from Alva merchants and complimentary tickets to the Rangers vs. Fort Hays football game played that evening. From 10 am. until noon, visitors were able to take guided tours of campus or to visit faculty and staff members privately. The afternoon was free for parents to par- ticipate in Alva centennial activities. The guided campus tours included stops at the nursing department, mass communi- cations facilities, physiology lab and Mar- tin Library. The newly-remodeled home of the president and the newly-reopened mu- seum in Jesse Dunn were also open between 10 am. and noon. Parents Day was termed a huge success, with approximately 200 parents attending. Plans were to continue the event on an an- nual basis. 55 History 1897-1987 Doors open Sept. 23, 1897 University result of pioneer dream Northwestern Oklahoma State Universi- ty came into being from the dreams and energies of territorial pioneers. The school was established because their vision of an educational center in northwest Oklahoma was matched by their dedicated effort to obtain it. It all began with the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1893, when a within a few hours - a vast stretch of fertile prairie was settled by hardy and courageous home- steaders. The idea that Alva should be the site of a normal school gained strong, popu- lar support as the city and the surrounding territory developed. Elementary schools in this area were of the one-room variety with an occasional high school to serve all the students in a particular county. The businessmen and citizens of Alva could not see the rationale in sending their young people to Edmond fthe only normal institute site in the general area in the late 18009 and so they began a crusade for the establishment of an institu- tion of higher education in the northwest part of Oklahoma Territory. It was in 1895, only two years after the run, that the first bill to establish the school was introduced in the territorial legislature. In spite of an organized fight to obtain ap- proval of the measure, that first effort was defeated. The Alva Commercial Club was orga- nized in 1896 and promptly geared for bat- tle in the next legislature. Political pres- sures and counter-pressures were intense, but a bill to establish the school was passed by both houses. The measure was signed into law near midnight on March 12, 1897, by Gov. W.C. Renfrow. Northwestern Terri- torial Normal School became the second such institution in Oklahoma Territory. 5 6 History The site of the campus was on a hill a half mile south of the town itself. The 40-acre tract was owned originally by Mr. and Mrs. James T. Fryer tstill remembered today through Fryer Hall, a dorm for upperclass- womeni, Delays in starting construction of the first building led the Alva Commercial Club to lease the Congregational Church for $150 so that classes could begin there in the fall of .1897. In a meeting Aug. 28, 1897, a newly- formed Board of Regents for Normal Schools named Dr. James E. Ament of Illi- nois as Northwesternis first president. He and two teachers comprised the first facul- ty. When the first class met on Sept. 23, 1897, enrollment was approximately 6 but that number grew to 166 by the end a the first year. While awaiting the allocation of buildin funds, Alva residents signed bonds so thz construction could begin on the campL April 1, 1898. The first president, Jame Ament, had travelled widely and was in pressed with the Norman castles in Franc He and a native French architect, Joseph Foucart tthen of Guthriei, designed t1 building. The result was a huge three-stort building with towers, turrets and battl ments, which became known as thhe Ca tle on the Hill? tContinued on Page 57y RINGING OUT IN CELEBRATION.

According to ac- unts of the day, the railroads from Wood- rd, Medicine Lodge and Wellington, an., reduced their fares for that day and ch train was filled with people eager to e the new building. Farmers and their milies from the local area converged on Iva, which was decorated with bunting d flags. The Alva comet band and glee b furnished music and the band met the vernor at the depot and escorted him and 5 party to the site. The Castle cost more than $130,000 en completed and equipped. It was the I gest educational structure in the state, easuring 155 feet across the front, 125 et in depth, with a principal tower more an 100 feet high. Perhaps the most re- .rkable fact was that Ament had planned to be only one wing of a much larger ilding to be built as enrollment grew. By the time the first class of six students V'aduated in 1900, enrollment had reached 2 students. Faculty with educational ckgrounds from such prestigious institu- ns as Purdue, Yale, Amhearst and Clark iversities continued to be hired. As the institution continued to grow in rollment and faculty, the need for addi- nal facilities also increased. A Science d Library Building fnow Fine Artsi was mpleted in 1907 and Frank Wyatt Gym- sium tnow the Student Centeri was add- in 1919. Herod Hall was built in 1923 to use administrative offices and, after the burning of the historic Castle in 1935, dedi- cation ceremonies were led in 1937 by Elea- nor Roosevelt for Horace Mann tnow the Education Centeri and Jesse Dunn Halls. By the time Oklahoma was admitted to the union in 1907, four other normal schools had been established. All five be- came four-year teacher colleges in 1919, resulting in the institutions first name change to Northwestern State Teachers College.

A further major change in the nature and function of the institution came in 1939, when the college was authorized to grant degrees in liberal arts, as well as education. The name again was changed, this time to Northwestern State College.

All state-supported colleges and universities were brought under the author- ity of the board in matters regarding func- tions and programs of study, standards of ' education and finances. Within the framework of the system, the six regional state colleges, including North- western, were placed directly under a Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, created by constitutional amendment, to govern the state college segment of the edu- cational system. A fifth-year program in teacher educa- tion was begun in the summer term of 1954, leading to the degree of Master of Teach- ing, now a Master of Education degree. In May 1980, the first Master of Behavioral Science degrees were conferred. On May 4, 1974, Governor David Hall 58 History signed a bill into law authorizing the cur- rent name for this institution of higher learning. This time, Northwestern along with f ive other state colleges, became a uni- versity. Over the years, various new programs of study have been added to the curriculum. One of the newest is that of nursing, which leads to a Bachelor of Nursing degree. The first class was graduated in the spring of 1985. Also recently approved have been de- gree programs in medical technology, mass communications and non-teaching music. The university continues to have a strong education program, with its graduates lead- ing all public institutions in Oklahoma in percentage passing rate on competency ex- ams. The school also has strong programs in business tboth teaching and non-teachingl, agriculture, law enforcement tincluding conservation law enforcementl, industrial education and others. A couple of years ago, Northwestern ceived approval and funds from the ' gents for Higher Education to develo Professional School of Pedagogy tthe K ence of teaching.

The Castle had long been a symbol to the eople of northwest Oklahoma of accom- lishment and pride. Its demise affected 6 whole area and, principally, the citizens f Alva. Sabin Percefull, dean and top official resent at the time of the conflagration resident O.E. Hatchet was in Atlantic ity, N.J., for an educators meetingh, wrote is account of the fire: In the early morning hours of March 1, 935, the citizens of Alva were awakened fire alarm sirens, sounding its plaintive otes on the cold morning air. Many citi- ns, upon being awakened, arose and oked out the nearest window, and seeing othing, went back to their slumbers, thinking it was a minorfire which did not show itself. Other citizens, happening to look out their windows in a dWerent direc- tion, were astounded and horrified by the fact that the Administration Building of the Northwestern State Teachers College, affectionately called the Old Castle on the Hill, was in fiames. These citizens sound- ed the general alarm, calling their friends, until every man, woman and child, and many people in the surrounding country were awakened, and made their way in great haste to the fire, which even seemed at that time, would destroy the building, it having gained such headway, and due to the fact that a strong, southwest wind, common to this country, was blowing. Another account of the fire was carried in the Alva Review-Courier: The terrifying sound of roaringfiames, DRAWING OF THE CASTLE on the Hill was made by IJ. Mercer in the early 1900s. The Castle was a knowned landmark throughout all of northwest Oklahoma and is still frequently used as a symbol of orthwestern. punctuated by falling and breaking glass, roused three Northwestern college stu- dents from their couches in a room high in the top of the administration building ear- ly this morning and set them tumbling out a window to a precarious perch on a ledge on the second fioor. The trio, Tony Anderson, Cushing: Floyd Anthis, Cushing; and Clyde Friend, Pitcher, were rescued by firemen ana' stu- dents who ran ladders up to them. We were frightened when we first dis- covered the fire, Anthis said. We were awakened by falling and breaking glass. We grabbed our horns and climbed out a window on the roof and screamed . . . The boys lost all their clothes and per- sonal belongings. Anthis, who is drum ma- jor of the college, lost his uniform, too. The boys saved their horns by throwing them to the grass below. The fire alarm was turned in around 2 am, Friday, March 1, 1935, from a filling station and from Noah,s Ark ta college hang-ouo, as well. When first noticed, flames were already spreading through the first floor hall. The problem was aggravated by the fact that it was the custom to oil floors to keep down dust. Years of oiling the wooden floors in the Castle made it impossible to stop the fire. The Alva Review-Courier went on to re- count other details of the conflagration. It took at least two firemen to hold each of the powerful fire hoses and, when a sec- ond fire truck arrived, its hose was run through trees up to the building. Firemen actually boosted the fire by chopping in the west door. A strong southwest wind was blowing that night and carried sparks as far as the downtown square five blocks away. As the floors gave way, the pianos from the third floor music department crashed tContinued on Page 6m History 59 Classes continue around town tContinued from Page 59l downward, twanging and breaking as they fell. It was reported that the glue from li- brary books smelled like dead bodies and the library shelves themselves were melted into distorted shapes. Even while the fire still smoldered, citi- zens met at 9 am. that morning to make plans to continue classes on Monday, March 4, and to open a campaign to have the'state replace the building tthat was not insuredl Classes met all over town beginning the week after the fire. Some examples e agri- culture, history and vocal music students were in the Methodist Church; English classes met in the attic of Herod Hall; com- merce classes were in the Elks Lodge and piano students met in private homes. The inside and outside brick walls of the building remained and many students and teachers did not know about the fire until they arrived for class the next day. Fire loss was estimated at $500,000 - the Castle housed the college library, music depart- ment, museum of fine arts, industrial arts department and the presidenfs office. The value of the 60,000 volumes in the library was estimated at $180,000, music instruments at $10,000 and the building it- self, $200,000. ONLY T HE BRICK SHELL of the magnificent Castle remained after the March I, 1935, fire. The basement and all three floors of the building were completely gutted by the wind-driven blaze. 6 0 History The possible causes for the fire were giv- en by the state inspectofs office: defective wiring in the lower hall tconsidered the most probablel, spontaneous combustion or a cigarette left by a student or visitor. Replacing the wiring in the first floor cor- ridor had been discussed within the year preceding the fire and was considered by the majority as the most reasonable cause of the fire. However, the Alva Review-Courier had reported a week before the fire that petty thievery had been reported at the college during the past few weeks and there was a recommendation to have a policeman on duty there from 4 pm. to midnight to watch the college. Whatever the cause, the fire did bring about some changes on campus as a result of recommendations by the assistant state fire marshal. Chief recommendations were an auto- matic fire alarm system for campus build- ings and to rewire all but three rooms in Science Hall tnow the Fine Arts Building, and those three rooms had been rewired previously. Other recommendations were to remove four students sleeping in the boiler room to other quarters, raise power lines leading tContinued on Page 6D THAT THE CASTLE was both magnificent a quaint by today: standards is shown by these view; its interior Urom tom.- the presidenfs office, the t brary and the chemistry laboratory. 1897-1987 Continued from Page 6m 0 Science Hall above the trees, get ade- ate fire extinguishers for use throughout mpus buildings, hire a night watchman campus buildings, obtain another hose nnection for the Campus area and numer- 5 small safety measures such as safety ots for hot water boilers, etc. There had been some discussion in state wspapers about discontinuing the college ce its principal building had been de- oyed.

Marland about appropriation of funds and authoriza- tion of construction of a building to replace the Castle. He pledged his support, but said it was the committees job to convince the legislature. A bill to fund a replacement building was introduced in the state senate that same afternoon and was passed there on March 7 and on March 13 in the house. Gov. Mar- land signed the measure on March 15. When the news was received in Alva that the governor would sign the bill, it was re- ported in the Review-Courier tithe signal for a riotous city-wide celebration, the most uproarious since the signing of the Armistice. College students assembling for their 1 pm. classes were dismissed and joined in the downtown celebration. htThe fire siren screamed, whistles blew, school and church bells rang and auto- mobile horns honked, according to the newspaper. thven businessmen, who usual- ly remain calmer, could not restrain their enthusiasm and repaired to the drug stores to get supplies of firecrackers and aerial bombs?

After the building bill was signed, it was suggested that aid might be received from the federal government through the Public Works Administration tWPAy Application was made in July 1935 for nearly $245,000, which was granted in September of that yean There was some discussion as to whether the new structure could be built within the standing brick walls of the castle, but it was finally decided that this would be too un- safe and the walls were torn down. Bricks from the Castle were used to build the scoreboard and bell town used at Newby Field. When that structure was torn down in its turn, the bricks were cleaned and reused as the foundation and floor for BRICKS SALVAGED from the Castle on the H ill when its walls were torn down to the new alumni bell tower, which also houses the bell salvaged from the Castle and used in the scoreboard.

The campus radio station KNSU and KGWA of Enid broadcast both Ranger football and mens and womens basketball games over the new network. A function of the Sports Information De- partment, RSN produces the broadcasts and feeds them to participating affiliates for a share of the commercial time avail- able. During this first year, long-time North- western sportscaster Dean Linder did the play-by-play for both sports, with Terry Winn, sports information director, provid- ing statistics and commentary for football and his assistant, Steve Valencia, helping with basketball.

Dr. 64 News Stephen Hensley, dean of academic affairs, said a combination of factors was responsi- ble. The largest contributing factor was a 33 percent decrease in the number of graduate students because last year a large number of teachers returned to school to meet cer- . tain certification standards which went into effect in the spring. Hensley also cited new admissions stan- dards for entering freshmen, a 30 percent tuition increase and a more stringent policy on determining resident status for a stu- dent. Spring enrollment figures showed a six percent decrease from the spring of 1987 - from 1,747 to 1,642. Hensley attributed the drop to a 11grand- father clausetl concerning teacher certifica- tion. This allowed students to elimina competency requirements by finishing ma ter degrees in education. The clause e pired last year. Of the spring enrollment, there were 5 . freshmen, 311 sophomores, 250 junior 302 seniors and 255 graduate students. It i It 1: II!

After a lot of discussion and letters to the itor of the Northwestern News Getters th pro and conl, the Student Government .sociation conducted a poll in October as whether or not to limit smoking in the Student Center to the east lobby area near the south doors. Persons voting in the poll favored the SGA proposal 196 to 82. However, some who favored limited smoking areas thought the lobby area was too small and believed smoking should be permitted in part of the Snack Bar area and banned in other areas. Hard-core non-smokers thought smoking in the Student Center should be banned en- tirely throughout the building. The SGA took the results of their poll to the administration to discuss developing a standard smoking policy for the entire cam- pus. A presidentis committee consisting of the president, deans, SGA president, four 9g SMOKING PERMITTED IN THIS AREA students and representatives from the fac- ulty and maintenance department was ap- pointed to devise a policy that would com- ply with Oklahoma law to provide both smoking and non-smoking areas in all build- ings. While the committee was meeting, the SGA attempted to limit smoking in the Stu- dent Center along the lines proposed in its poll. The outraged response from non-tradi- tional students, who use the Snack Bar fre- quently, resulted in a threatened boycott of the eating facilities. It was also discovered that the ventila- tion system in the Student Center is such that smoke from the east lobby is pulled throughout the building. As of the end of the year, smoking in the Student Center was limited to the east lob- by area and to about half of the Snack Bar area. The committee on smoking had also come up with designated areas for smoking and non-smoking in all campus buildings and appropriate signs had been posted. However, enforcement of the rules is strict- ly voluntary so the topic has potential for more controversy in the years to come. 1k 3k :0: 3!: II: 3t: 3k In December, the Oklahoma Board of Nursing Registration and Nursing Educa- tion granted a full three-year continuing ap- proval to Northwestern to operate a bacca- laureate nursing program.

News 69 The Year in Review A S pecial Repor Civil war breaks out in Alva In October, the report of an investigation of Northwestern by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation was sent to Governor Henry Bellmon, whose office forwarded it to Tom Gruber, Woods County district attorney. The secret report contained the results of a seven-month probe into allegations of Iiphantom studentsii and ttgrade changing. The investigation was ordered by Bellmon after some local media pub- lished letters from former faculty members alleging wrongdoing on the part of the administration at Northwestern. Immediately prior to the start of the OSBI investigation, an investigative audit by the State Auditor and Inspectorhs office showed only problems in procedure, such as control of cash funds of various clubs and organizations on campus. In late November, Gruber was interviewed for a story which was published in The Daily Oklahoman and later reprinted in a local publication, the Newsgram. In the article, Gruber was quoted as stating that Northwestern hihas poor administrative leadership? and ttitis quite obvious that somebody has not been doing their job? In an interview before the Oklahoman article was published, Gruber told the Northwestern News that he would not file criminal charges at the time, as other offices were trying to handle the situation. Also emphasized in the story was the fact that the Northwestern situation did not resemble the Southeastern financial scandal. Despite the allegations and promised reforms, the administra- tion has not been confronted by any state agency about any type of wrongdoing, nor has anyone been faced with criminal charges. Another quote in the Oklahoman story from an unidentified source said itNorthwestern has unsupervised professors running amok? Naturally, this caused some uproar tand hilarityI among the faculty, many of whom resented being described in such terms, and who also resented the implication that the school had no structure or discipline on campus. The entire situation was exacerbated by Lynn Martin, owner and publisher of the local Newsgram. Martin never missed an opportu- nity to print letters to the editor or to reprint articles from out-of- town newspapers which attacked the university and its administra- tion. To give him credit, Martin would print letters to the editor which were favorable to Northwestern, but usually worked in a response that would take the opposite view of the situation. In early April, the fat really got in the fire when Martin pub- for Northwestern to show their feelings about articles printed in the Newsgra 70 News lished an article entitled ttNWOSUls Downward Spiral: Wh Does the Buck Stop'Pl The article stated that the average ACTscore of Northwester students was 14; that during President Strucklels tenure the enr ment had fallen by 479 students; and that Northwestern thchea to achieve its high pass rate on teacher competency exams by permitting some students to take the tests. Martin cited as his sources: ARCO a The Right College, unidentified source who had photocopied enrollment figures at t state library and two faculty members, respectively. In an int view later, he did say that only one unidentified faculty mem had made the iicheatingli remark. The administration immediately refuted the article, saying t while the minimum ACT score required for admittance to Nor western was 14, the actual average of the student body was 16.5 1986-87 and 16.8 for 1987-88.

Perry followed in the footsteps of his brother, Terry, on the Ranger basketball squad, but carved out his own niche and estab- lished himself in his own right. His coach, Bob Battisti, said, tiPerryis basketball career at Northwestern has been a great success story. After only playing in seven games in his first two years here, he has become an outstand- ing performer. He got where he is now through a lot of self-sacri- fice, determination, faith, discipline, fearlessness and love? Although Perry has received numerous honors, his favorite was the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference championship in 1987- 88. He says the people who have influenced his life the most are his mother and Coach Battisti. In his spare time, Perry likes fishing, bike riding, walking or just relaxing and listening to music. His favorite things about NWOSU and the Alva community, are the people and the friendly atmosphere. 80 Seniors eniord SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS are Karen Putnam, 7 secretary; Rena Maddux, vice-president; Jim Dormn, . . president; Stacy Zahorsky, treasurer; and Kim Par- sons, reporter.

Chestnut chose to attend Northwestern because of a football scholarship and he has proved himself through the years. He has been the starting quarterback for the Rang- ers for the past three years. One unusual thing about his football background is that he has never had a serious injury in either high school or college ball. Chestnut has received several awards be- cause of his efforts. In 1986, he was chosen for AlI-District, All-Conference and All- American Honorable Mention honors. He is most proud of the last. He also was cho- sen as the first recipient of the Tom McDan- iel Scholar-Athlete award. hestnut different when offfield When football is not in season, Chestnut enjoys basketball, baseball and golf, which keep him active and in shape. An outdoors- man at heart, Chestnut is especially inter- ested in deer hunting and fishing. He says these activities help him relax and give him time to reflect on what is happening in his life. One aspect of Alva which Chestnut en- joys is the friendly people. Although Alva is slower-paced than Mustang, his hometown, he has adapted to it well. Chestnut is finishing his college career with a major in biology. He is now in the process of looking for a professional foot- ball agent. Someday he would like to com- plete his masteris degee in biology.

A senior in business admin- tration, he enrolled in Editing the Annu- I for the spring semester and agreed to rite this account of his experiences in a reign land. Ilm a Malaysian who came to the United tates of America on May 27, 1986, to pur- e my higher education in business admin- tration. Making my decision to come over here r a higher education was not an easy task all. It took a lot of courage and self- termination to make such a giant deci- sion since this country was totally new to me. Besides, my major concern was my fi- nancial expenses. That is why I chose NWOSU, since it was one of the most eco- nomical universities at that time. Though I had some difficulties adapting myself to American college life when I first came, I found that it was very challenging and rewarding. Nothing is more challenging than start- ing everything afresh. Things which I found challenging were learning the American culture, the American menu, the American education system and the Oklahoman slang, to name a few. The precious rewards which I obtained h IENDLY AND OUTGOING, Ho Kwong Chung tor K.C. as he is called by hisAmericanfriendsI works on u out for this years Ranger. alaysian challenged by Okie slang through college life were getting the right education, making new friends and learning to be self-reliant. All of these are assets which I can share with my countryls people when I return home in the future. The first two weeks at NWOSU were the toughest of all, as I had expected. Every- thing here seemed so new to me, especially when an Okie spoke. I had a hard time comprehending the OkieIs slang. The use of semesters and semester hours in the Ameri- can education system were somewhat con- fusing. In my country, we use lItermsii in- stead of tlsemestersli and lithe number of courses takenII instead of Ihsemester hours? The hot summer Iover 100a FJ and the cold winter tbelow 00 FJ were, and still are, problems because I had been used to a tem- perature of 80o F. throughout the year in Malaysiaethat is paradise! The American menu was not much of a problem to me because we have a variety of American food in Malaysia. However, over here I haxfe the chance to try Mexican food as well and I like it somewhat. I found that the college life here is very easy going and, most of all, the students have the freedom to choose whatever major minor courses they like, whereas in Malay- sia, once the quota for a certain major- tminor courses are filled, you are not al- lowed to take that majortminor. That is one of the biggest drawbacks in our education system. Partying is the way of life for the college students here, whereas in Malaysia, party- ing does exist, but not on a large scale. People around here are very friendly and they will always lend a hand whenever you are in need. I have no regrets whatsoever to come over here to further my education. As a matter of fact, I have gained a broader pro- spective than just getting a degree from NWOSU and I will cherish the good memories which I have had at Northwest- ern throughout my life.

Both permanent and temporary faculty were hired to begin the new semester and, after 60 days had passed from the date of retirement, the former teachers were able to come back on a part-time basis. New personnel coming on board in Janu- ary included Dr. Ann Catlett, assistant pro- fessor of biology; Jim Apel, instructor in journalism; Mary Reynolds, education; Di- anna Feely, education; Patti Wilber, busi- ness; Antoin Bouziden, mathematics, and Deidra Baird, nursing.

A 6-4 guard from Houston, Swift joined the team at the beginning of the second semester and was an important contributor in their championship drive. He averaged 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game and led the team in scoring in five games. Honorable mention all-OIC honors went to seniors Paul Van Den Einde and Stan Gatson and freshman David Hogg. On the academic team, Autry, a 6-1 sophomore from Balko, had the highest grades of any member of the district menis team. He has accumulated a 3.79 grade point average while majoring in health and physical education. He is best known for his long-range shooting. Blodgett, a 6-6 junior from Lahoma, ranked third among the states all-academic selections with a 3.54 GPA in business man- agement. He is one of the teams best defensive players and aver- aged 5.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. As the fourth-seeded team in the playoffs, Northwestern hosted its first round game with Oklahoma City University, losing 76-77. The action-packed contest was highlighted by controversy over whether or not OCU had mistakenly been credited with two points. All score books teven those of OCUL except for that of the official scorer, showed OCU with 75 points, not 77. In any event, the score stood and the Rangers were eliminated from post-season play. Southern Nazarene was the eventual district winner. But losing in the playoffs or not, the Ranger men can indeed be credited with a banner year.

In their opening game, the Rangers blasted Langston 115 to 56 d launched themselves on an 1 l-game winning streak. It was the st start for a Milburn Barton coached Northwestern team since 80-81, when the women started out 14-0 and went on to win the strict 9 championship. The womenls first loss came at the hands of Southern Nazarene, d they lost only four more games during the year, including a ond-round playoff game. he 22-5 season was one of the best in the teams history and a sing late-season victory against perennial powerhouse South- stern, 69-65, enabled the Rangers to tie with Southwestern for Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference championship. The dy Bulldogs had earlier beaten the Rangers in Weatherford by a rendous 80-48 score, so revenge was very sweet. orthwestern also had revenge in mind when it hosted Southern :zarene in the first round of the District 9 playoffs. In repayment stopping their 11-game winning streak, the Rangers led SNU as many as 18 points during the first half, by as many as 26 ints in the second half and finished the game with a 100-81 score. he Oklahoma City Chiefs put a rude end to the women,s season the playoffs second round. OCU never trailed in the game in lahoma City, scalping Northwestern 85-61 in the semi-finals. e Chiefs were the eventual NAIA national womenis champions. In that final game, Donnita Drain, Northwesternis sophomore ndout, scored 26 points, giving her a career total of 1,015. Thus, Drain becomes only the third Ranger woman to pass the 1,000 point barrier and the first to do it in just two seasons. Drain and senior Cindy Garrett were named to the first team all- OIC and the second team all-District. Junior Frances Hurd and senior Kyla Williams Alvey were named to the honorable mention list in the OIC. Drain led the OIC in rebounding with 10.3 per game and in field goal percentage with 58 percent. She also was second in scoring with a 21-point average. Garrett, a 5-5 guard from Mustang, led the nation in three-point percentage this season, with 56 percent accuracy from long range. She also led the OIC in assists with 6.9 per game. Garrett and Alvey were named to the District 9 all-academic team. Garrett ranked third in grades with a 3.70 grade point aver- age in natural science. She capped the year by being named OIC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The award goes to the senior woman with the best grade point average, who has been a letterman in OIC sports for at least two years. On the male side, football player Pat Koehn also won the Schol- ar-Athlete award, making this the second year in a row that North- western has captured these honors. To top it all off, Barton was selected as the coach of the year in both the OIC and the district, as was his menls basketball counter- part, Bob Battisti. Barton has coached for 10 years at Northwest- ern and has a record of 182-99, ranking him second only to South- westernls John Loftin in career wins among District 9 coaches.

I 2 1 2 Baseball 'hillips continues to be Rangersi nemesis The 1988 season proved rather rocky for the Rangers as they ded with a 22-32 record overall and 11-21 in District 9. However, this record was good enough for seventh in the district d, consequently, a playoff berth for the fourth consecutive year. he bad news is that the Rangers first round opponent was Phillips lniversity, a team that had turned in 17 straight victories over 'orthwestern. Coach Randy Smith said he didnlt mind playing Phillips for ree reasons: fiFirst, the shorter drive will help us tremendously. econd, they cant beat us forever and, third, they havenft seen icky Gore and Tim Lazenby and weive seen their best the last two mes welve faced them? Despite Smithis optimistic opinion, Phillips did appear able to at us forever. The Haymakers won their 18th and 19th games in row over the good guys with a score of 5-1 in the first game of the st of three series and 10-0 in the nightcap, when the Rangers ere run-ruled after seven innings. But those will be the last games Phillips wins from Northwestern . the Enid school announced it was cutting its baseball program to ve money. Smith said of the year, 1ilive never lost so many one or two run -mes since I have been coaching. Most of our problems came om the lack of a stopper in the bullpen who could come in and t ish a game? The good news about all this is that the Rangers finished the season in third place in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference - and, more importantly, ahead of East Central - which gave the OIC All-Sports Trophy to Northwestern for the first time. The trophy is based on the finishing positions of the member schools in the sports of football, menis basketball, womenfs basketball and baseball. In some more good news, senior catcher Steve Barth was named to the all-District 9 first team, the first Ranger to be so honored in four years. Barth led the Rangers in five different offensive categories: aver- age, .368; hits, 57; runs batted in, 59; game-winning runs batted in, 5; and home runs, 9. He also threw out 48 per cent of the base stealers who challenged him during the season. During the last week of school, Smith announced he was step- ping down as baseball coach to concentrate on his duties as athletic director and to teach more classes in the health and physical educa- tion department. Joe Phillips, who had been assistant coach for the past four years, was named to succeed Smith. A 1984 Northwestern gradu- ate, Phillips lost no time in naming former Ranger star J eff Allen as his assistant. During seven seasons as head coach, Smith directed his teams to a combined record of 160-149. In 1983, his second year, he was named OIC and District 9 coach of the year.

Takes no thought, as it passes right by you. Old times seem just like yesterday. 240 Editorls Note No reason those times, should stand in our way.
