  • Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene
    (RUSSELLVILLE, AR)---Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene University have accepted provisional membership invitations into the NCAA Division II Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and is located in Bethany, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. Northwestern Oklahoma State is a member of the Regional University System of Oklahoma, as are GAC members East Central University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. NWOSU is located in Alva, Oklahoma. Both institutions are currently members of the NAIA's Sooner Athletic Conference and the Central States Football League. Each school will gain full GAC status upon completing the three-year NCAA Division II membership process. SNU and NWOSU will not compete in the GAC in the 2011-12 academic year, but it is anticipated that the pair will be added to conference schedules for the 2012-13 season. Both programs bring a legacy of athletic success to the Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene has captured ten NAIA national titles, including seven in women's basketball. Squads representing the Crimson Storm have also recorded a pair of women's golf national championships and a men's basketball crown. SNU's athletic department fields teams in 17 NCAA-recognized sports. Northwestern Oklahoma State boasts a strong football tradition. The Rangers earned the 1999 NAIA football championship and have held the number one ranking in that association eleven times since the start of the 2000 season. NWOSU varsity squads compete in eleven sports. A GAC visit team, led by Southwestern Oklahoma State University president Randy Beutler, made trips to both campuses in April.

  • Oklahoma's Climate Cycle, As It Is in All the Plains States
    OKLAHOMA’S CLIMATE: AN OVERVIEW Topography Oklahoma is located in the Southern Great Plains. Of the 50 states, it ranks 20th in size, with an area of 69,903 square miles, about 1,224 of which are covered by water. The terrain is mostly plains, varying from nearly flat in the west to rolling in the central and near east, with a general slope upward from west to east. The plains are broken by scattered hilly areas where most points are 600 feet or less above the adjacent countryside. These hilly areas include the Wichita Mountains in the southwest and the Arbuckle Mountains in the south-central. The Ouachita Mountains dominate much of the southeast, with peaks that rise as much as 2,000 feet above their base. Extreme northeastern counties are part of the Ozark Plateau, which is marked by steep, rocky river valleys between large areas of hills and rolling plains. The western tip of the panhandle features part of the Black Mesa complex, a fractured terrain featuring large mesa overlooking seasonal creek and riverbeds. Elevations range from 287 feet above sea level where the Little River exits in southeastern Oklahoma to 4,973 feet on Black Mesa near the New Mexico border. Oklahoma lies entirely within the drainage basin of the Mississippi River. The two main rivers in the state are the Arkansas, which drains the northern two-thirds of the state, and the Red, which drains the southern third and serves as the state's southern border. Principal tributaries of the Arkansas are the Verdigris, Grand (Neosho), Illinois, Cimarron, Canadian and North Canadian.

Their patience and uncomplaining sacri­ fices through difficult times have been the primary sources of inspiration and determination to go on when it would have been easier to quit. The several hundred students who have passed through my classes at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, in the past ten years must also be mentioned as an unfailing source of enthusiasm. The fact that several of them have gone on to achieve their graduate degrees in history has been a compelling force to finish my own. But the greatest accolades must be reserved for a true patron-saint, Mrs. Grace Bergman of San Rafael, California. In the summer of 1954, she appeared at my door with a generous offer which resulted in my belated matriculation at a nearby university, and which has been a dominant force in my life from that date. The following pages are dedi­ cated to her generosity and many kindnesses which have been singularly responsible for what follows.
