The college became a reality on August 29, 1946, when Ector County voters created the Odessa Junior College District. The first Odessa College classes were conducted in the fall of 1946 in the Odessa High School I building, which is now Crockett Junior High. The College started with only six teachers, three administra­ tors and 184 students. By the fall of 1971 the College had eleven administrators, 200 faculty members, and over 3,500 students. During the second year of operation, Odessa College built its first permanent fa­ I cility on a tract of land which was eventually to become the permanent site of the present day campus. In the summer of 1949, the Ector County school district decided the college should be separated from the district. The trustees created the Odessa Junior College District. And in the fall of I 1949, the college doors opened on its permanent campus. The planning and construction of the present campus over the years, the development of balanced transfer and career curricula, the recruitment of a professional staff, and the selection of a I student body were all accomplished with service to the students and the communities being the prime objective. In 1969, the Board of Regents approved a request from the Midland Independent School I District to join the Odessa College District and on February 24, 1969, Midland voters approved a plan to join the OC District, and a branch campus was planned for Midland. Classes were to meet in Robert E. Lee High School. A short time later, the Odessa College District was renamed the Permian Junior I College System. The addition of the Midland campus, allowed the Permian Junior College System to grow rapid­ ly, with students taking courses at both campuses. However, during the 1971-72 academic year it was I determined that the two campuses which comprised the system had different goals and could not. fully pursue them if they remained together. I I I 7 J A special bill was placed before a special session of the Texas State Legislature requesting that the two campuses be allowed to disannex; approval was immediate. In December, 1972, the proposition to allow disannexation was placed before the Midland people. They voted to establish the Midland Junior College District and build their own college plant. The Odessa College District was again a separate I entity. Currently, Odessa College has twenty buildings spread over an 80-acre campus in the heart of Odessa. There are more than 100 classrooms and laboratories in the facilities. The physical plant, I including buildings, land, and equipment, has been valued at 15.9 million dollars.

  • Of Women's Cricket
    Confronting the ‘whiteness’ of women’s cricket: Excavating Hidden Truths and Knowledge to make sense of non-white women’s experiences in cricket Introduction Many feminist scholars have noted that ‘sport history remains the history of man’s involvement in sport’ (Vertinsky, 1994: 1; Osborne and Skillen, 2010); yet the extent to which sports history - particularly British sports history - continues to privilege a history of ‘whiteness’ by failing to interrogate racist and gendered ideologies is even more troubling. The absence of documented research on women’s historical experiences in sport exposes both the masculinisation of the sport, as well as the maleness of this documented history. As van Ingen (2013: 106) states when investigating the history of women’s boxing: The lack of critical and nuanced historical inquiry on women’s boxing history is not solely the fault of poor historical sources. Rather, scholars have paid insufficient attention to how gender, racism, and white privilege have obscured various accounts of history within women’s boxing. However, the absence of historical research on non-white1 women is even more problematic, and more pervasive when it comes to the sport of cricket. Despite a wealth of research into ‘race’, racism and the imperial dimensions of cricket - to the extent that Jack Williams has stated that ‘[r]ace was at the heart of cricket throughout the twentieth century’ (Williams, 2001) - almost all of this literature has focused entirely on the men’s game. Experiences of female cricketers have either been sidelined or worse still, simply ignored. Indeed the whiteness and maleness of historical analyses of cricket in 20th-century Britain have formed the major rationale behind my own research.

  • Favorite Teachers of the Awards for Excellence Recipients

It began in 1988 as a vehicle to recognize outstanding students in their academic areas of study. Students who receive these awards demonstrate that excellence is not only a goal to be attained but an attitude that exudes commitment. It is through this attitude that goals are truly realized and multiplied. Individual excellence benefits both self and society, perpetuates the growth of our democracy and ensures the continued yield of its fruits. As others before them, this year’s 44 students charted a course to do their best. Along the way, the standards they set serve as daily examples for their peers. This very special award honors students for their accomplishments in 9 categories. Award winners were selected by a consensus of teachers from each particular category for academic standing, consistent outstanding performance over a period of years, participation and commitment to excellence within the activities of the discipline and long-range goals of the students.

  • Women's Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes
    Women’s Cricket, Pioneers and Unsung Heroes The important contribution made to women’s cricket by former students of Dartford College of Physical Education © The Ӧsterberg Collection Jane Claydon 2021 Unsung Heroes A great deal of publicity has been given to women’s cricket in the last decade and yet, some modern authors, in their histories of the game, have not included the names of many talented international cricketers with links to Dartford. Perhaps this is because the authors were not taught by members of staff trained at a Specialist College of Physical Education and are unaware of the heritage of Dartford, Bedford, Chelsea, Dunfermline and other later foundations. As a result, they have missed out on a rich history of women cricketers and administrators. I am sure Mary Duggan would be surprised to find that her lengthy and significant career is not highlighted in one recent publication. I have attempted to redress the balance and introduce the reader to many other players who trained at Dartford College. They may not be household names, but during their careers they influenced the development of the game for women and the outcome of many significant matches. Information about the history of women’s cricket is easy to find. Several books of interest have been published in the last half century. Perhaps, Nancy Joy’s Maiden Over, published in 1950, is overlooked by younger researchers, but it is a source of interesting details about the 1948/49 tour to Australia and New Zealand in which the author participated. The Cricket Archive can provide details of the performance of all England women cricketers, the WCA year books are available to view online and many of the players feature on the pages of Wikipedia.

  • Anton Tkac Started Cycling with Time Trial Discipline
    Anton Tkac started cycling with time trial discipline (sometimes called "fixed-kilometer start"), who won in the 1970 World Championship bronze medal in Leicester, England. After this failure he switched to Sprint racing and in this discipline he won three times gold medal World Championships: in 1974 in Montreal (Canada) in 1976 in Ostuni (Italy) in 1978, Munich (Germany) and at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal where in the same discipline he was Olympic Champion with gold medal when in the final he defeated eight time world champion Frenchman Daniel Morelon. Anton Tkac was in 1976 - 1978 in the former Czechoslovakia declared athlete of the year. From 2001 to 2011 he was president of the National Cyclists Committee (SCZ). From 2001 to 2008 he was a member of the Executive Committee of the Slovak Olympic Committee (SOV). The most successful Czechoslovak sprint cyclists was originally in sports school in the capital city Bratislava focused in athletics and mainly ran sprints. The 1 km fixed cycling came by accident when on borrowed bike he won the race in the recruitment city suburb. Sooner later he was recruited by Slovan Bratislava cycling club where he rode and trained on the track 1 km with a solid start. Despite severe injuries he soon convinced his abilities after winning numerous National Championships and in 1969 he was nominated for the World Championships, held in Brno. After achieving the eighth place at his first World Championship, it was very disappointing for him and the inherent stubbornness threw himself into hard training and preparing for another world championship.
