FOREWORD Nestled serenely in the foothills of the O/.arks, in the midst of one of the most scenic playgrounds of America, with rock-rihbed cliffs and sparkling springs, is Tahlequah, home of the Cherokee Indians, after their removal from the East, and capital of the Five Civilized Tribes. I lere in this center of Cherokee culture was founded the first institu­ tion of higher learning west of the Mississippi River-—the beginning ol the old Cherokee Seminaries and what is now our alma mater—North­ eastern State College. This issue of TSA-LA-GI attempts to give, in part, the history of the Cherokee people from the time of their arrival in Oklahoma up to the present time, by the use of historical markers and Indian drawings and designs, as well as the adjustment of that Cherokee culture to modern education as it is typified by life on the campus of Northeastern State College today. V27 J The ruins of the Cherokee Male Seminary are the result of a fire on March 20, 1910. DEDICATION In this hour of darkness, as war clouds shatter into temporary obliv­ ion our hopes, our ambitions, our dreams, the ideal of education fos­ tered by our forefathers shines as a beacon through the troubled heavens. Education—often thwarted, never defeated, the bulwark of all genuine progress—must not be belittled during these times of un­ certainty. We must realize that our salvation for the future lies in our ability to maintain a steady course toward those goals of world brother­ hood and just international economics and politics which the beacon of education signals for the world. Thus to education, the very essence of civilization, we dedicate this book, lest we lose that for which we struggle. - ORDER OF BOOKS BOOK ONE COLLEGE BOOK TWO ADMINISTRATION BOOK THREE CLASSES BOOK FOUR ACTIVITIES THE COLLEGE The capital building of the Cherokee Nation was built in 1867 to replace several log houses which were burned bv General Stand Watie during the Civil War. ^hlflrhis building was purchased by Cherokee County in 1907 and has served since yal courthouse of that county.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS It is here that the builders and industrial leaders of the future receive their training. Lonely as sentinels the columns of the Old Male Seminary stand among encroaching trees—all that remains of the stately school af a proud race since the fire of 1912— the Cherokee National Male Seminary. ADMINISTRATION I Higher Patriotism for the New Day "And when the bugles sounded war They put their games away." So Winifred M. Letts wrote of Oxford men in 1914 who went abroad to die. Recently the red waste of war has spread again like a forest conflagration across the world where national hatreds, political strifes, and economic injustices had made outbroken war inevitable; college men by the thousands have put not only their games away, but their personal hopes and ambitions to serve the costly needs of a country at war. The wheel has gone full circle. First, the Italians pitched against the Ethiopians, then the Japanese against the Chinese; again, Europeans are hurled against Europeans; now Orientals against Occidentals and confusion has wrought his masterpiece. Recently since Pearl Harbor, two men of color, Chiang Kai-Shek and Mahatma Gandhi, have met in Calcutta and discussed together concerning the future of the colored races in Asia, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, at least, came out of that five-hour conference to advise Great Britain! The white man's monopoly of the world's mastery is at an end. The world has changed before our eyes. We are in the costliest conflict perhaps the world has seen. Vast as is the cost in money, vaster is the human agony. Not long ago fifty-six orphaned children were brought to Tahlequah and housed in a new modern home in one of the pleasantest settings imagin­ able, under great over-arching elms and oaks, on a rolling two hundred acre area of good Oklahoma soil, punctuated by ever-flowing springs. Those children are being cared for as if thev were something precious—and they are. On far flung Eastern fronts millions of fierce men—many brave men—are dying for a dream of a better world for each of them, their loved ones, and their nations. They hope to win that dream by preeminence in mili­ tarism. But militarism only breeds more hate, more greed, more nationalistic blindness, despair, darkness. While American men and boys are seeking to put an end to ruthless militarism, try­ ing to make the world a safe place for good people, our minds and hearts at home need to be enlarged to forget our selfishness, our comfort. War is the hardest school in which the race ever enrolls. Its lessons are written in "blood, sweat, and tears." It is already evi­ dent that for all of us, for the duration and for multiplied years to come, the world is go­ ing to be a harder world in which to live. The American boys in Northern Ireland are becoming known as builders. College students particularly must make valid their claim of higher usefulness in these days. They, by self-imposed disciplines, must not only observe the creed of "live and let live" but help others to live; they must be builders. Gone with the war is our over-whelming self- confidence, the myth of white superiority, much of our American luxury, easy jobs, pre­ ferred positions, and easy sentimentality. In our own beloved United States, which is a hearthstone to Germans, Chinese, Italians, Lithuanians, Japanese, Negroes, Protestants, Jews, and Catholics, we must set ourselves with increased impetus to a new and higher patriotism of creating a world that friendship would build. BERTHA E. SUPPLEE Page 18 f« GOVERNOR LEON C. PHILLIPS Leon C. Phillips is a man with the understanding friendliness of the Irish and the shrewd courage of the Dutch. Few states can boast a leader so person­ ally fitted to the task of guiding their commonwealth safely through the crises of this era, and a man so sincere in his convictions that he is willing to sacrifice even a political career in order to carry out his policies of economy and clean govern­ ment. Phillips grew up a red-haired farm boy in Custer County, Oklahoma. After several years of preparation for the Christian ministry, he decided to become a lawyer and entered the University of Oklahoma Law School. As a student he was outstanding. After his graduation, he opened offices at Okemah, Oklahoma, where he practiced law until January 9, 1939, when he became the eleventh governor of the State of Oklahoma.

He received his A.B. degree from the Univer­ sity of Oklahoma in 1923, and his A.M. degree from the same University in 1927. He has been a member of the Oklahoma State Senate, dean and registrar of South­ eastern State Teacher's College, executive secretary of the Oklahoma Educational Survey, acting president of Southeastern State Teacher's College, Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and a member of the State Board of Education. President Vaughan has proved himself an able leader for the duties which he assumed in 1936 when he succeeded M. P. Hammond as president of Northeastern State College. He has truly typified the helmsman at the wheel of a ship in a storm. Through years of hardship and years of plenty, even as war has reared its ugly head to call many of our stu­ dents to service for their country, President Vaughan has shown his true character by re­ maining steady at the helm of our ship of education. Through his influence and leadership in the past, our school has continued to rise among the state colleges in Oklahoma, while at the same time establishing an enviable rec­ ord of economy.

    Spring 2012 Taking Action The Quiet Revolutionaries Improving Our Communities IIT STUDENTS MAKING A DIFFERENCE JAMES DARBY AND WILLIAM LOPEZ MARC HANS A Photo Essay in Their Own Words The Good Fight Raising a Fist for Science from the President “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” —Margaret Mead At IIT we often describe how we are preparing students for change—how our interdisciplinary and relevant curriculum uniquely positions students to navigate a complex world with confidence and flexibility. We tend to focus on pedagogy, research experience, and practical workplace skills, but our students are distinctive for another reason: their ability to adapt to and create change. IIT students are hardwired to make a difference. The university attracts many students from all walks of life who bring to IIT their longtime commitment to an organization or a cause. You could also say there’s something in the water at IIT. While here, whether inspired by their fellow students, faculty, and alumni, or through their involvement in service-learning projects, Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program courses, and the more than 100 student groups on campus, our students get involved in their community. In doing so, they become aware of their capacity to make a powerful expression out of the smallest act. This issue features stories about just a few of our students who are volunteering their time and talents, rebuilding neighborhoods, and mentoring youth. They are, as we say, leading the quiet revolutions that are creating meaningful change.

    FIBAAMERICAS.COM 05 DIGITAL Volume 2 March 15-30, 2009 South AmErica’s King flamengo is the champion of South Amnerican League for clubs Flamengo Río de Janeiro won their first championship in the South American League for Clubs by beating Quimsa Santiago del Estero by the score of 98-96 in the final game of the competition. An excellent job by shooter Marcelinho Machado was key in the win by scoring 41 points, 30 of them in the first half. In 40 minutes played the star of Flamengo shot 10-12 from three point range and 11-16 from the free throw line. The 33 year old player was named the MVP of the tournament. The game was tough and intense from start to finish where Flamengo depended on the offense of Marcelinho in the first half while Quimsa was consistent with their great team game and using their figures on the paint to put some key players in foul trouble, among them was Rafael "Baby" Araujo. In the final quarter a three pointer by Treise gave Quimsa a 94-92 lead with 1:39 left but Marcelinho answered quickly to regain the advantage. The last tie was at 96 after free throws by Mikulas but Duda made 2-4 from the line to leave the final score. Quimsa had an opportunity to tie but was missed by Mazzaro. In the loss Vanderson Camargos scored 25 points, Julio Mázzaro 20 and Gabriel Mikulas 17. Cucuta-Norte- (Colombia) and Regatas Corrientes (Argentina) also participated in the final round of the competition.
