The South Barber FFA Chapter has conducted a recycling program at the high school for a few years now, but with the recent donation of four poly carts from Nisly Brothers Inc. of Hutchinson Kansas, the process just got a little more effi- cient.The FFA chapter provides recycling tubs for each classroom and office space at the high school facility. Teachers, administrators and students are encouraged to recycle paper, cardboard and some plastics. Agriculture education students then collect the tubs and empty them periodically. With the addition of these carts, the materials can now be sorted and properly housed in the ag shop before being loaded and delivered to the Kiowa, Kansas, local recycling center on a monthly basis.

Every time I see the film of the burning of the Castle, I think I can hear the pianos falling. In January 1895, the committee charged with getting a normal school in Alva held its first meeting. During this meeting, the magnificent seven with S. L. Johnson as chair decided to advertise to see if any individual would offer to give Oklahoma Territory 40 acres of land for the establishment of a normal school. The committee members were overwhelmed with the offers they received, and they had to decide which offer was the best. They decided that the offer made by H. Clay and Mable McGrath was the most desirable based on its location. (This location is the 40 acres of land located directly east of the current main campus across Highway 281.) A problem, however, arose when it was determined that the McGrath land had a “cloud on the title,” which was not unusual at this time because of the confusion caused by conflicting claims after the Run of ‘93. The committee then decided to accept the offer made by J. T. and Agnes Fryer, which is the current location of Northwestern’s main campus. The Fryers prepared a deed to the territory with a restricted clause requiring the land to be used for higher education purposes or it would revert back to the Fryers or their heirs. In response to these developments, the McGraths offered to either deed the Fryers 20 acres of their land or pay the Fryers for 20 acres. The Fryers decided to accept the cash payment.

Trump ordered the hold as he was D-N.Y., said Tuesday that his panel's The Judiciary panel gave the White House until Sunday evening to decide whether Trump or his lawyers would attend. If Democrats stay on schedule, the committee will introduce articles of impeachment, debate them and then hold a vote, a process that could take several days. If charges are approved by the end of the second week of December, the House could hold a formal impeachment vote the third week of the month just before leaving for the holidays. The charges are expected to mostly focus on Ukraine. Democrats are con- sidering an overall "abuse of power" article against Trump, which could be broken into categories such as bribery or extortion. That article would center on the Democrats' assertion, based on witness testimony, that Trump used his office to pressure Ukraine into political- ly motivated investigations. Democrats are also expected to include an article on obstruction of Con- gress that outlines Trump's instructions to officials in his administration to defy subpoenas for documents or testimony. Though several government officials called by Democrats cooperated with the committee, several key witnesses — including acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Energy Secretary

"It's triple-option just disguised in the spread is all it is," "I always felt like it was going to be a good weapon for us Gundy said.

"You can never tackle him, we've got to get him down." sit there at the beginning of the year and perfectly lay it out, and Gundy's assessment may be an oversimplification, but Hurts we've still got a long ways to go here too. But I like how it's evolved. I think it's made our run game a little more versatile." It's quite a shift in emphasis for Riley, who first came to Oklahoma known for the pass-heavy Air Raid offenses he ran at East Carolina. Hurts has 180 carries this season; Mildren, Okla- homa's single-season recordholder for a quarterback, had 223 in 1971. And Hurts isn't running out of bounds like Murray often did last year — he's bringing the contact to defenders and keep- ing the chains moving with his powerful, 218-pound frame. "You got to give the guy credit – he's taken hit after hit after hit after hit," Gundy said. Hurts also has completed 71.4% of his passes for 3,184 yards and 30 touchdowns. He ranks third nationally in passer efficiency and second in total offense. And contrary to what Gundy says, it isn't entirely a one-man show. Hurts has top targets in Biletnikoff Award finalist CeeDee Lamb and speedster Charleston Rambo. Lee Morris has been a steady target, and a group of talented freshmen bolster the group. Running back Kennedy Brooks has become more of a factor in recent weeks, especially since Trey Sermon's season-ending left knee injury. Brooks has averaged 19 carries and 125 yards rushing the past three games. He never got more than 10 carries in a game the first eight games of the season, but he has had at least 15 in his past three. He's regaining the form that made him a preseason All-Big 12 selection as he gets comfortable with his offensive linemen. "I think Kennedy's starting to get more in synch with those guys in how we're going to handle and leverage different blocks," Riley said. "We've just been more on the same page maybe is the best way I can describe it, and certainly, being the featured guy and being able to get him more carries and into the flow of it a little more has helped as well."

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — An autopsy shows the death of a 46-year-old Wich- ita man in September has been ruled a homicide by the county's coroner and medical examiner. The Wichita Eagle reports the recently filed autopsy report of Raul Rodriguez shows the cause of death to be "blunt force injuries of the head" and noted other significant health conditions such as cardiovascular disease. Rodriguez was found dead in a living room chair on Sept. 26. That was a day after he was pushed by someone during a drunken argument and fell to the ground, hitting his head. The Sedgwick County district attor- ney says no charges were filed because of the "inability to establish all the ele- ments of a crime." A pre-existing medical condition could also not be ruled out as contributing to the death.
