Excitement is building. The countdown has begun. In September, a year from now, Oklahoma City University will celebrate its cen- tennial. The past year has seen tremendous changes take place on campus. Major construction projects are almost complete, and more are about to start, including a Centennial Plaza creating a wonderful, new entry to campus.

In this issue of Focus Magazine, we want to take time to reflect on some of the successes of the past academic year and thank the many gener- ous individuals, corporations, and foundations that made those successes possi- ble through donations to OCU during 2002-03.

The feature story looks at the amazing success of our students in the Miss America Organization. In August, I had the privilege of officially welcoming the new Miss Oklahoma, Kelley Scott, back to campus for the unveiling of her portrait. Kelley is working on a Master of Science in Accounting from the Meinders School of Business. She is on the Dean’s and President’s honor rolls, and is the treasurer for her sorority. We are very proud of her.

I look forward to our centennial year with confidence. If you have not visited campus lately, please come see us soon. There are always a variety of fantastic events – athletics, exhibitions, lectures, performing arts – something is bound to be right for you. I look forward to seeing you.

Sincerely,

Jane was a prime time news anchor for sixteen years, receiving several national awards, including being the first female named Outstanding News Personality in the Dallas television market. She also co-hosted a weekly statewide show, Discover Oklahoma. She was the first spokesperson for the Oklahoma Health Center and vice president of the Presbyterian Health Foundation. She has also served as cabinet secretary for tourism and recreation and execu- tive director of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. She was the first woman elected chair of the Oklahoma Academy for State Goals, serves on the boards of OCU and the Oklahoma Health Center Foundation, and has received four gubernatorial appointments. A member of the United Methodist Church of the Servant in Oklahoma City, Jane has served in numerous leadership and teaching positions.

What is the most exciting opportunity you received as Miss America? The title and the experience gave me the confidence to succeed professionally. When I started in TV broadcasting, there were no women in the field except Barbara Walters. I had worked part-time in the journalism department as a work/study stu- dent and enjoyed it. I started in television in Oklahoma City. There were tons of job offers in other markets, but I wasn’t interested until I was contacted by the Dallas/Ft. Worth station. It wasn’t clear across the country and it was a top-ten TV market. I am very proud of the work I did there, and I was hired for my news experi- ence, not because I had been Miss America.

What advice would you give today’s journalism students? Have a well-rounded skill set, and good writing is essential. Know how to be a producer and be willing to do whatever is needed in the newsroom to learn a skill; you must know as much as possible about how a broadcast is put together.

Do you still sing publicly? Not very often, other than at church as an offering. When you’ve been professionally trained, you have a pretty high standard for public performance. I did perform at the dome dedication.

Did OCU’s previous title holders influence you at all? Kay Creed (Miss Oklahoma 1961) and Janie Zerger (Miss Oklahoma City 1965) were both Surrey Singers when I came to OCU as a freshman in 1965. They made an impression on me.

Is there a down side to the Miss America title? When you have a title, people hold preconceptions about you. For example, when KXAS (now KNBC) hired me, the headline in the paper read, “KXAS Hires Barbie Doll.” Whatever people think, there’s no denying the women who make it to the Miss America Pageant are very successful.

Who were your favorite OCU professors? Jane Jayroe Nancy Apgar, Ray Luke, Robert Laughlin, Inez Silberg – the entire music faculty; they really made me stretch and be the best I could be. At that time, the school had an opera orientation. I wanted to do musical theater and they knew I wouldn’t be a serious opera Gamble singer, but I was treated seriously anyway. ‘69 Bachelor of Music Miss America 1967 What would you like to say to the OCU community? I am so thankful I came to OCU. It has provided me with the resources to do so much more than I ever thought I could. In so many ways, we are the sum of investments other people have made in us. FM

They understand it when I put it in those terms.

You transferred here from OU because of the scholarship. How has OCU affected you? Oklahoma City University is absolutely the best thing, academical- ly, that has happened to me. The personal attention you get is invalu- able. Attending here allowed me to pursue accounting, for example. I wasn’t always the smartest student in my business classes, but the amount of confidence and motivation I got from my professors made me willing to keep at it. All of my professors knew me and understood my desire to earn the degree. The most obvious thing is: you know you are cared for, that the people here have your best interests at heart. I don’t think I’d come back to visit, like today, and go to lunch with a favorite professor if I had studied somewhere else. It’s a differ- ent kind of atmosphere, and I think that attitude is contagious. Being cared for inspires you to reach out and help others yourself.

Lunch with your favorite professor... Who is that, and why? Dr. Barbara McCain. I took her Business Research and Communications class my junior year. She made everything we learned applicable to real life and I took a lot of useful skills away from the course. For example, we were discussing what it takes to arrange for a prominent person to speak somewhere. She asked us all to write a letter we thought would persuade somebody to come to campus. Then, she chose my proposal to Lt. Governor Mary Fallin. By the time the course was over, I had been an event coordinator for Fallin’s actual visit to campus. I will use that as an example of prac- tical learning the rest of my life.
