July 1 marked my first anniversary as president of East Central University. The time has simply flown as I have been privileged to get acquainted with our students, faculty and staff as well as the citizens of Ada and many alumni in Oklahoma and Texas. Kay and I are very happy to be in Ada. People here are great. I have come to believe that educators have the greatest of all professions. They get to share their knowl- edge with a new group of young people every year and watch as the light bulbs go on in their minds. I am convinced that our educators are more approachable and caring than those at almost any other college or university. I love working with students. Their spirit and enthusiasm are contagious. I also love hearing all the stories from alums and friends about ECU. I have my own, of course, but hearing others’ stories binds us together as Tigers and, I think, shows we are part of something bigger – a continuum of history and traditions as one generation blends into another. Did I mention that I love East Central University more than ever? And one of our own, Gen. James D. Thurman (’75), was promoted to four-star general in June and took over huge responsibilities for thousands of American soldiers. I am thrilled to announce that he will be in Ada for Homecoming. He will be our parade marshal and will attend the Homecoming football game. I want to invite you to be here as well. This year has been a wonder beyond my wildest imagination. Enjoy the campus with me – see you at homecoming. John R. Hargrave, J.D. President, East Central University TheThe ColumnsColumns 3 ECU began in 1973. His four years were typical of any student, any year. As a student, he was given the sense that he was wanted at the university, that he was family and that he would be taken care of, a sense he would like to pass on to current students. Fond memories include rushing to the Memorial Student Union to make sure he got his favorite spot in the crowded booths and then finding it hard to leave to go to class. “I can still hear the loud voices of the happy students,” he said. “They are wonderful memories.” He remembers Billie Floyd not only teaching him tennis and how to bowl but encouraging him to take ballroom dancing. He remembers history professor Dr. James Harris giving him his first raw oyster and teaching him to approach life as a gentleman. “I would like to make sure that our students have some of those experiences to prepare them both socially and culturally,” he said. When ECU broke the barriers for students with disabilities, he was proud to be a part of that experience. “It taught us to be accepting and tolerant to John Hargrave knew last year students with physical challenges,” he said. when he was thinking of returning to East Central If current students tell him that ECU is a University to become its eighth president that, as suitcase college and that everyone goes home on Paul McCartney once put, it was time to, “Get back, the weekends because there is nothing to do on get back, get back to where you once belonged.” campus, he is reminded of the Student Senate’s Now, after a little over a year on the job, he attempt to keep students on campus with a “Don’t will take his turn with the mace and medallion, Go Home This Weekend, Weekend.” ceremonial symbols of leadership and responsibility One of his favorite memories is Gary Childress entrusted to the president, to continue what he running for homecoming queen and the national hopes is the “last job he ever has.” media attention it garnered.

These attractions will be open throughout Labor Day weekend for all to enjoy before the Rodeo, which starts at 8 pm each night. The Elk City National Route 66 Museum Complex will also be open over the weekend, from 9 am to 5 pm on both Friday and Saturday, then from 2 pm – 5pm on Sunday.
