IMPRINTS >> 3 On Campus Dedication honors vision of W. Roger Webb The distinctive white arch that greets visitors to the campus of Northeastern’s main campus now bears the name of the man who made possible the construction of the facility that was dedicated 13 years ago. The W. Roger Webb Educational Technology Center was formally renamed on April 21 as a tribute to the leadership of NSU’s 14th president whose vision became reality when the building opened in 1997 as the Northeastern Education Technology Building. Webb, who is now president of the University of Central Oklahoma, expressed his gratitude for a gesture that recog- nizes his contributions to NSU during the 19 years he served as president. “How do you thank, from the bottom of your heart and as Jan Gordon, chair of the RUSO board, along with Belva sincerely as you possibly can, every person who has walked Howard, member and former RUSO board chair and John through our collective lives?” Webb asked. deSteiguer, a 1984 graduate of NSU who is now vice president for advancement at Oklahoma Christian University, spoke The legacy created by Webb symbolizes a golden era in NSU’s during the dedication ceremony. history.

  • Bumps in the Night!!!! Paranormal “U”
    Bumps in the Night!!!! Paranormal “U” Shadow People by Angela Sangster, TnT Paranormal Investigators LLC Shadows are seen every day as reflections of solid matter, however there are shadows that have been seen by people that seem to have no explainable source. There are theories about these "shadow people", ranging from hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, misperceptions, manifested energy, and "watchers". The watcher theory was especially expounded upon by a researcher named Heidi Hollis who often appeared on Art Bell's "Coast To Coast" radio show in the 1990's. Hollis claims that her studies have shown these entities are not human in any way, but rather have been around since before the earth's creation. None of her research or claims have been conclusively proven, however the studies have certainly kept the interest in these creatures going. It was on Bell's radio program that the term "shadow people" became a popular reference. It had been used before in a radio serial drama during the 1950's called "Hall of Fantasy", however the concept is certainly not exclusive to recent history. Many cultures have spoken of ominous shadows that foretell danger of some kind. One such culture is the Cherokee nation. Legends speak of a menacing creature known as the Raven Mocker, which is said to be a grotesque bird that shape-shifts into a malevolent shadowy creature with exaggerated human-like features. It was believed that the appearance of the Raven Mocker signified the attempt to capture a soul as it crossed from life into death. Some people believe that shadow creatures are evil or demonic in nature.
