Back to the top Higher education seeks 10 percent increase in Oklahoma funding The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education unanimously approved a budget request for the 2016 fiscal year that seeks an additional $98.7 million. Chancellor Glen Johnson said the increase is needed to make college accessible to more Oklahomans and prepare them for the jobs of the future. (The Oklahoman and Tulsa World By Kathryn McNutt - 11/7/2014) Higher education officials are asking the Legislature and governor to restore their state appropriation to the prerecession level. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education on Thursday unanimously approved a budget request for the 2016 fiscal year that seeks nearly 10 percent more than the current budget. The additional $98.7 million is needed to make college accessible to more Oklahomans and prepare them for the jobs of the future, Chancellor Glen Johnson said. The increase would raise the higher education budget to $1.086 billion, slightly more than the fiscal year 2008 appropriation. “We are in the midst of significantly changing times in higher education. This reflects our ability not to just react to the changing times, but quite frankly to have a game plan that addresses the needs of our citizens,” Johnson said. The new money is budgeted in four areas, with the majority — $88.3 million — requested for the Complete College America initiative launched by Gov. Mary Fallin three years ago. The goal is to increase the number of career credentials and college degrees conferred by 1,700 each year for 12 years. That goal was surpassed with an increase of 2,945 in year one and 3,577 in year two. “This clearly is our top priority,” Johnson said. A Georgetown University study shows that 67 percent of jobs in Oklahoma in 2020 will require a certificate or degree, and 37 percent will require an associate degree, bachelor’s degree or higher, Johnson said. “There’s going to have to be an investment of additional resources in higher education” to maintain the success of Complete College America and meet workforce needs, he said. Funding increases also are requested for the concurrent enrollment program that lets students begin earning college credit while still in high school, $1.2 million; initiatives in the areas of science, mathematics, engineering and technology, $500,000; and debt service on a 2010 bond refinancing, $8.7 million. “I think it’s a conservative budget. It’s a budget that benefits the students and the state of Oklahoma,” said Regent Jay Helm, of Tulsa. “It addresses the priority needs of our collective institutions,” said Larry Rice, president of Rogers State University, who addressed the Regents as chair of the Council of Presidents. “It’s responsible and very fundable.” The presidents for Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma both addressed the Regents via video. “It is so important in these times that we invest in education. Benefits from a college degree are so important in moving our state forward,” OSU President Burns Hargis said. “We’re still operating in this state with $100 million less for higher education than we had in 2008,” OU President David Boren said. “It’s impossible to keep up the quality that we need and operate on less and less each year as our uncontrolled costs keep going up every single year — utilities, health care and other costs.” Boren said state leaders should try to restore the budget to the 2008 level. “It is the effort to invest in the next generation, our most precious asset,” he said. “It’s investment time in Oklahoma.” Back to the top Back to the top Bell and Rodriguez earn NOC player of the week honors Mavericks Head Men’s Soccer Coach Michael DuRoy announces the Northern Oklahoma College men’s soccer player of the week, and Head Women’s Coach Josh Smith announces the women’s player of the week. The women's player of the week is Thirley Rodriguez, a freshman from Forney, Texas; and men’s player of the week is Patrick Bell, a sophomore from Muskogee. “Thirley has been a huge part of our midfield all season. Her scrappy, physical play as well as her willingness to never quit was a key to our success in the regional tournament,” Smith said. “Patrick played every minute in the Mavericks championship run through the Region 2 Tournament. He led the defense that allowed just one goal in the two games,” DuRoy said. The NOC men and women competed in the Region II Tournament at Miami, Okla. last weekend and both teams secured the regional championship title. The men defeated Eastern 3-1 and shut out NEO in the championship game 2-0. The women beat Rose State 3-1 Saturday and went on to defeat Eastern 4-0 in the Sunday championship match. The teams will now move on to compete in the district playoffs. The NOC women will host the tournament in Tonkawa Nov. 8 and 9. The Lady Mavs will play Navarro College at 11 a.m. Saturday and Eastern will take on the Region 5 champ. The Saturday winners will compete Sunday at 1:30 p.m. for the district championship and advance to nationals. The NOC men will travel to Topeka, Kan. and take on Coffeyville, Kan. at 1:30 p.m., Nov. 6. Hill College will compete against the Region 6 winner at 11 a.m. Nov. 6. Thursday’s winners will automatically qualify for nationals since the first and second place teams from district will advance. The championship game will be played Nov. 7. The district champs will go on to compete in the national tournaments scheduled for Nov. 17-22; the women will play at Melbourne Fla. and the men at Prescott, Ariz.

Back to the top Soccer Women Win Title.... (The Ponca City News - 11/3/2014) MIAMI, Okla. — The Northern Oklahoma College women’s soccer team claimed the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Tournament championship Sunday with a 4-0 victory over Eastern Oklahoma State College. The Lady Mavs led 3-0 at the half and picked up a final goal midway through the second half. Leah Gragg scored Northern’s first goal on an assist from Kaitlin Bell. The second goal was scored by Rikke Randrup on an assist from Alma Figueroa. Alexis Gipson picked up the final goal of the first half on an assist by Gragg. Randrup scored her second goal in the second half on an assist by Gipson. The Lady Mavs got into the championship game by defeating Rose State 3-0. Northern scored all its goals in the first half. Randrup had the first two goals getting an assist from Tina Rush on the first and an assist from Gragg on the second. Gragg scored the final goal on an assist by Figueroa. Northern advances to the District Tournament which will be played Saturday and Sunday on the NOC soccer field in Tonkawa. The Lady Mavs are scheduled to meet Navarro College of Corsicana, Texas at 11 a.m. Saturday. The second match will be Eastern Oklahoma College vs. Hill College of Texas. Saturday’s winner will play for the District championship and the right to compete in the National Tournament at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in Tonkawa. The NOC women’s team placed three on the All-Conference team. The three were Randrup, Gragg and Sarah Blakley. Named to the All-Tournament team were Randrup, who was the most valuable player, Gipson, Gragg, Bell, Thirley Rodriguez and goalkeeper Nicole Wright. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ So Do NOC Soccer Men MIAMI, Okla. — The Northern Oklahoma College men’s soccer team escaped an upset bid by Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Sunday to win 3-2 and earn the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament championship. With the victory, the Mavericks advance to the District Tournament which will be played in Topeka, Kan., Thursday and Friday. Against NEO, the Mavericks scored first despite the Norse having controlled the play much of the early portion of the game. The score came when Brad Bennions crossed the ball in to Theo Ostas, who headed the ball back across the goal to Andy Ochoa who headed the ball into the net. Late in the first half, NOC’s Tyler Hall dribbled into the box and his shot was blocked by a Norseman defeated to the top of the box. Edgar Delgadillo blasted a one-touch shot into the top of the net to put Northern ahead 2-0. With only 23 second left in the first half, NEO scored a goal to make the score 2-1 and then early in the second half scored again to tie. Theo Ostas brought down a ball in the NEO box and laid it off to Anthony Walker, who ripped a shot past the goalkeeper to score the winning goal with seven minutes left on the clock. Saturday, the Mavs trailed 1-0 at one point, but came back to defeat Eastern Oklahoma State 3-1. Delgadillo scored the first goal on an assist from Brad Bennions. The second goal was an own goal with an errant kick by an Eastern player putting the ball in the net. The final goal was scored by Ostas on an assist from Delgadillo. In the District Tournament at Topeka, the Mavericks will play Coffeyville (Kan.) at 1:30 p.m. Thursday. The winner of that match automatically will qualify for the National Tournament as the first and second-place teams from the Topeka District will advance. Coach Michael DuRoy was named the Oklahoma Collegiate Athletic Conference coach of the year. NOC team members who were honored included Rikardo Oldham, player of the year; Tyler Hall, Kody Gardnerl and Edgar Delgadillo.

Andrew H. Card, Jr. Back to the top Nicotine information session in Enid Nov. 13 Back to the top Army recruitment event set for Nov. 13 - Enid Back to the top Hodges Art Exhibit on display now A sense of his soul, an exhibit by award-winning photographer Dennis Hodges, opens Monday, Oct. 20 in the Eleanor Hays Art Gallery of the Kinzer Performing Arts Center at Northern Oklahoma College Tonkawa. Within this exhibit is another group of works titled “Eyedentity.” Gallery director Audrey Schmitz invited the public is invited to the artist’s reception hosted by the NOC Art Department from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct.21 in the gallery. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. At 6 p.m. the artist will speak about his work. "A sense of his soul has been a project of mine over the past four years as elections moved through Central and Eastern European countries,” Hodges says. “U.S. President George W. Bush, after his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, remarked that he ‘looked the man in the eye… [and] was able to get a sense of his soul.’” According to Hodges, “Eyes express the truth of what a person feels, thinks or believes. The focus only on eyes [in the exhibit] strips away any cultural identification…thereby making all subjects in this work equal in the eyes of the viewer.” Hodges photographed the series in an attempt to give viewers a glimpse into the mind of the politicians that run today’s countries by focusing only on their eyes in the portraits from their political posters. "Eyedentity" takes the series forward as it juxtaposes unaltered eyes next to eyes vandalized by passersby. This identity alteration prevents the viewer from looking the candidates in the eye as originally intended. The question this series asks is whether these changes consequently affect our perception of these individuals. The photographer’s works have been exhibited throughout the United States and internationally, including shows in Argentina, Australia and Russia. “My photography reflects how I view the world: as one huge creative playground where I try to capture bits and pieces to share with others,” he says. Hodges will be on campus the week of Oct. 20-24 to visit with student groups, discussing international business, marketing, living abroad, photography and creative thinking, He will lead a session on creativity for the DaVinci Fall Forum sponsored by NOC Friday, Oct. 24. A sense of his soul is on view through Dec. 8. The Eleanor Hays Art Gallery is open from 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and during performances in the Kinzer Performing Arts Center. Admission is free. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dennis Hodges’ series “Eyedentity” contrasts the eyes of candidates shown on Central European election posters before and after the images were vandalized. The question this series asks is whether these changes consequently affect the viewer’s perception of the candidates.
