The WOCS’s Hamburger Fry proceeds benefit all three of their campuses: Clinton, Weatherford, and Elk City. The schools accept no federal or state funding so fundraisers like the Hamburger Fry and tuition are their only sources of revenue for school resources. This year they’re hosting two Hamburger Fry fundraisers: this annual Fall sale and one in the Spring on February 28th in Elk City’s Convention Center. The fundraiser on November 15th will have different silent auction items available for bidding, and a bake sale will be held alongside it. Auction baskets feature camping equipment, OU merchandise, and more. The Hamburger Fry will open for lunch and for dinner with tickets available at the door with cash or check. Lunch will be from 11 AM – 1:30 PM, and dinner will be from 5 PM – 7:30 PM. Children the age of 12 or under can get in for $5 and all other tickets are $8. Don’t miss out on the chance to win a couple of auction items and to enjoy a burger or two with the WOCS.

While visiting my grandchildren and their parents during Memorial Day, I had nothing to plan, to prepare, or to be responsible for, so I indulged in watching the men of Jim Morrison the “greatest generation” give themselves without regard for their lives so that we and the rest of the world might enjoy the freedoms we possess today. Recently, I visited a World War II veteran in a local nursing home. Framed on the wall was a display of ribbons, medals, and newspaper articles related to his combat service. He had flown thirty-five bombing missions over Europe as a machine gunner. A yellowed clipping from the London Times related the story of his dangling out of plane, the navigator holding his legs, as he attempted to reattach a door that had opened and threatened the loss of the plane and its occupants. It was men like that who fought to stay alive and return to their families; but also for their buddies and to save the world from the Nazi and Japanese warlords.

Sandra scored twice in the Dawgs 3-2 win in Alva on Tuesday and added the second of SWOSU's three goals in a 3-1 victory over East Central on Saturday at the SWOSU Athletic Complex. For the year, Nabweteme leads the GAC and ranks tied for ninth nationally with 15 goals and she's NCAA Division II's active leader in both career goals (71) and points (176) while ranking fifth with 34 career assists, which represents a school record.

SPORTS Presented by: SWOSU Sends Out Seniors with Victory over SNU Doug Self SWOSU Sports Information Director A commitment to the running game and a stout defensive performance led to the SWOSU Football team snapping a six-game slide with a 28-7 victory over Southern Nazarene on Senior Day at ASAP Energy Field. The Bulldogs put together four touchdown drives of 11 plays or more and controlled the time of possession, holding the ball for 36:00 while rolling up 403 yards of offense. SWOSU rushed for 207 yards on 55 attempts – both team highs under head coach Chet Pobolish – and added 196 yards through the air on just 16 pass attempts while not committing a turnover. SWOSU had three rushing touchdowns by three different players as Donnell Hawkins, Jermaine Mask and Kenny Graham all found the end zone before Tyler Marr connected with DJ Hicks for a 25-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to seal the game with 1:45 to play. Hawkins led the Bulldogs with 103 yards on 17 carries, becoming the first SWOSU running back this season to reach the century mark in yards. Marr finished 11-for-16 for 196 yards and a score while also rushing for 38 yards. SNU was held scoreless until the fourth quarter, when a long kickoff return set up a scoring drive of 42 yards after SWOSU had already built a 21-0 lead. SWOSU's defense surrendered just 245 yards to the Crimson Storm, with 84 yards coming on the ground and 161 through the air. Braden Sweet again led the Dawgs in tackles with six while Jacob Rodman and Malcolm Davis had five apiece.

Football Seniors Sweep Bulldog of the Week Honors Doug Self SWOSU Sports Information Director Following a 28-7 victory over Southern Nazarene in their final home game at ASAP Energy Field, SWOSU Football seniors Calton Bakker and Malcolm Davis have been chosen as the newest Bulldogs of the Week. The award is brought to you by Wright Wradio, the home of the Bulldogs over the airwaves on both 95.5 'The Coyote' and 100.3 'Coyote Classic.' Bakker (Vancleave, Miss.) graded out as the Bulldogs top offensive lineman in a game in which SWOSU rushed for 207 yards on 55 carries – both program highs under head coach Chet Pobolish. From his center position, Bakker anchored the dominating performance from the Dawgs offensive line, allowing SWOSU to possess the ball for 36:00 minutes while three different running backs scored a rushing touchdown. Davis (Fort Worth, Texas) helped SWOSU’s defense to their strongest performance of the season as they limited the Crimson Storm to 245 yards of total offense, which included just 84 rushing yards. Davis made his sixth straight start at outside linebacker and ranked second on the team with five tackles (four solo, one assist), which gives him 29 stops on the year. Oklahoma Premier of “Where Words Once Were” Coming to SWOSU Southwestern Oklahoma State University Theatre will be presenting the Oklahoma premier of Where Words Once Were by Finegan Kruckemeyer on November 16-19 on the Weatherford campus. This is only the sixth performance of the play in the United States. Kruckemeyer was commissioned by the Theatre for Young Audiences Department at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. The playwright said that he was invited to write a play in which language was the main character. “This provocation was so evocative, so shapeless, so poetic that many ideas came to mind,” Kruckemeyer said. “But eventually one was sat down with – that of a world allowing finite words, a boy possessing few, a girl afforded none. Forbidden from meeting, they meet. Forbidden from questioning the rules, of course (as heroes, heroines, teenagers) they do.” He created a dystopian society where language is controlled by limiting the vocabulary of “The City” to 1,000 words. When a new word is needed, an old word is banned from the language. Steve Strickler of the SWOSU department said the play is an incredible and beautiful lesson in the power of words. Through the use of literary devices such as anagrams, palindromes, and homonyms, the playwright cleverly uses the language to communicate a very rich message. Performances in the SWOSU Hilltop Theatre will be at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 16, 18 and 19 and 2 p.m. on Nov. 17. Admission is free with a valid SWOSU I.D., $5 for adults and $3 for non-SWOSU students. The SWOSU Hilltop Theatre Box Office will begin taking reservations on November 4. Box Office hours are 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
