As we start the 1993-94 academic year, I want to express my sincere thanks to each of you for your support of Southwestern. Our paid memberships in the Alumni Association have more than doubled this past year, which reflects your loyalty to your alma mater. You are our best recruiters as you go about your daily lives and make your presence known as a Southwest­ ern graduate.

With funding provided through the passage of State Questions 649 and 650, we have pur­ chased the Sayre campus, and the construction of the student union will start by early fall. On the Weatherford campus, we are currently automating and renovating the Al Harris Library. Also, we are developing plans for a classroom building and an addition to the Administration Building. Construction on these projects will start in 1994.

This is the first time in 25 years that the State of Oklahoma has provided funds earmarked for space and renovations needs on the various campuses, and we are deeply appreciative of this support. However, not all of the news is good news. The 1993-94 state allocation for higher education has been reduced, so our operating budget will be 5.13 percent less than last year. We are also working with a system-wide mandate from the State Regents to “right size ” our institution and reallocate our available resources into programs that are central to our mission. This will include restructuring some programs while eliminating others. Needless to say, the next two years will be critical years in Oklahoma higher education and impact on the future of Southwestern.

Homecoming is September 25. Come back to “The Hill!”

As usual,

Former alumni donate Noble family donates art collection

The family of the late Lacy and Mary Beth Noble of Mangum recently donated the couple’s private collection of artwork to the Southwestern Foundation along with an endowment of $100,000 to be used for scholarships to benefit art students at South- westem. The university’s Visual Arts Depart­ ment hosted the opening of the Lacy and Mary Beth Noble art collection with a lec­ ture regarding the exhibit given by Visual Arts Department Chairman Patrick Riley and faculty member Park Lang. A recep­ tion followed to honor the family. “It is such a marvelous gift,” Riley said. “By keeping the art collection intact, the family has created an actual awareness of cultural leadership. They have provided die incentive for Southwestern to start a permanent collection of fine art.” Lacy and Mary Beth were both born in southwest Oklahoma. Mary Beth attended Lacy Noble Mary Beth Noble school at Willow and Eastview and gradu­ ated from Eastview High School in 1929.
