MCNUTT Staff Writer [email protected] Oklahoma’s public regional universities are out- performing the national average of upward social mobility by 38 percent, according to two national studies. Researcher Raj Chetty tracked 30 million stu- dents from freshman year to about age 32 to dis- cover how colleges improved the economic for- tunes of students from families at the lowest income level. A perfect mobility rate for those students who rise from the bottom to the top tier of wealth would be 4 percent. The study found the average mobility rate in the U.S. is 1.7 percent. The Regional University System of Oklahoma — made up of six four-year institutions across the state — is well above that at 2.37 percent. “We’ve created opportunities for people to move up they would not have had otherwise,” said Mark Kinders, vice president for public affairs at the University of Central Oklahoma. “Financially, they are exceeding where their parents were at the time those students started school.” What’s the secret, or as Kinders calls it “the spe- cial sauce”? UCO and the other five RUSO institutions emphasize building strong personal relationships with their students to help the learning process, he said.

They are, from left to right, Carla McCarrell-Williams, the Rev. Octavia Lindsay, Stacy Dykstra, Barbara Colbert, Karen Jacobs, Lisa Dorn and Rhonda Mitchell. [PHOTO BY SARAH PHIPPS, THE OKLAHOMAN] HOW TO HELP For more information about the “Leading Ladies for Healthy Babies,” contact Barbara Colbert at the Oklahoma City-County Health Department at 425-4427 or email [email protected]. Often known as the “first lady” of their churches, pastors’ wives are typically some of the busiest women in their congregations. There are also women who are church pastors in their own right. A group of pastors’ wives, female pastors and other female leaders at several northeast Oklahoma City churches recently have expanded their leadership roles to include a pilot project aimed at helping pregnant women and new moms in their community. They call themselves “Leading Ladies for Healthy Babies.” The new initiative is a partnership between women at 26 churches, the state Department of Human Services’ Office of Community and Faith Initiatives and the Oklahoma City-County Health Department. Karen Jacobs, administrator for the Office of Community and Faith Initiatives, said the project is aimed at reducing the infant mortality in predominantly black northeast Oklahoma City and improving the health of black women. She said infant mortality is twice as high for black babies than any other minority, and northeast Oklahoma City has one of the highest infant mortality rates in Oklahoma.

  • Oklahomans and the Vietnam War
    Oklahomans and the Vietnam War OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT After more than a hundred years of French colonial rule, many Vietnamese people began to fight for independ- ence. In the summer of 1954 delegates from France and Vietnam came together to sign the Geneva Accords to come to an agreement and end the fighting. Vietnam, pressured by France and communist countries such as the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, agreed to split the country of Vietnam in half at the seven- teenth parallel. After growing tensions on both sides, North and South Vietnam began to fight. The United States joined South Vietnam soon after to protect against the spread of communism. The Vietnam War lasted from 1954 to 1975. While fighting overseas, many Americans died or were severely in- jured in battle. This number includes a little over 1,000 Oklahomans. Tensions were strong at home as many indi- viduals were against the war and mass protests were held around the country. The Vietnam War changed the way Americans thought about war and foreign policy.
