Regents approve
tuition increase
Wednesday July 14, 2010• Volume 101 Number 26
Busy summer
Summertime does not mean slow time on the Southwestern campus. Last week, several camps took place, including athletic
training camp, cheerleading camp, and marimba camp. The annual band camp starts this week, as do two science camps. The
staff of The Southwestern found the activities below happening on Friday afternoon.
5 percent jump similar
to that of other universities
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education
finalized Thursday to raise tuition and fees at
Southwestern y by 5.47% for the 2010-11 school year.
All regional universities across Oklahoma were
approved for similar increases.
SWOSU’s tuition/fee rate per credit hour will
go up from $137 an hour for undergraduate, instate tuition to $144.50 per hour on the Weatherford
campus. At the Sayre campus of SWOSU, tuition and
fees will be $139.50.
SWOSU President Randy Beutler said this is the
first increase in tuition/fees in two years. SWOSU’s
situation is a little different this year as State
Regents had earlier approved a $6 mandatory fee
per credit hour for music and student activities as
well as the new event center that will be built on
the Weatherford campus. The actual tuition rate at
SWOSU will only increase $1.50 per credit hour. The
two figures combined equal the increase of $7.50 per
credit hour on the Weatherford campus. Students on
the Sayre campus will not pay the $5 fee for the event
center.
“This is just a slight raise in tuition in comparison
to the budget cuts we have sustained,” Beutler said.
SWOSU has experienced a decline in state
revenues of 6% during the past and upcoming school
years. It could have been worse, according to Beutler,
but with the support of Governor Brad Henry and
area legislators,

and trying not to

student. The university has not filled several open
administrative positions and continues to look for
ways to save money.
“SWOSU continues to boast 15 nationallyaccredited academic programs—most among
Oklahoma’s regional universities—and we’ll
strive hard to continue keeping SWOSU as the top
academic regional university in Oklahoma,” Beutler
said. “We know SWOSU is also one of the most
affordable universities in the state. But, we must be
mindful that we have certain accreditation standards
which we must continue to meet in order to stay
competitive and those issues often include financial
considerations.”
In order to help students, SWOSU continues
to offer financial aid help to students to help with
financing their college education. Over 70% of
SWOSU students received more than $30 million
in financial assistance this past year, according to
Jerome Wichert, director of the SWOSU Student
Financial Services Office. He said his office is open
Monday through Friday each week to visit and help
students with their needs.
Kayla Schmidt, a Junior in the Athletic Training Department, encourages a student to get the elbow wrapping technique
just right. 29 Oklahoma and Texas high school students attended an Athletic Training Camp put on by the Athletic Training
Department.
Music Education Major Jonathon Anzaldua rehearses for his
senior recital Friday in the Music Building. Jonathon has been
playing since the 6th grade and wants to be a high school band
director after college. His high school band director inspired
him to pursue a future as a music teacher.
Snyder cheerleaders show their team spirit and stand out
amongst the crowd with their matching socks during drills
in the Rankin Williams Fieldhouse. The girls tested their
physical strength while also learning team unity at the UCA
Cheerleading Camp held last week.
Nearly 500 students come to annual band camp
Southwestern’s Department of Music will host its
55th annual Band Camp July 11-16 on the Weatherford
campus, and the camp is expected to draw a near
capacity of 500 students.
The SWOSU Band Camp is open to students who
have completed grades 6-12. Registration will be in the
SWOSU Fine Arts Center lobby this Sunday, July 11, from
1-4 p.m.
Over 60 experienced and talented music directors
from across the region will assist camp director Dr.
Keith Talley and other SWOSU music faculty in teaching
classes and rehearsals at the camp.
The camp will consist of five concert bands, two jazz
ensembles and over 30 elective classes. Conducting
the concert bands will be: Honor Band, Dr. Stephen
Gage, Youngstown State University, Youngstown, Ohio;
Symphonic Band, Bryan Myers, Mustang; Concert Band,
Jim Parham, Stratford, TX; Cadet Band, Danny Bell,
Idabel, TX; and Prep Band, Roger Sharp, Mustang.
The final concert for the camp will take place on Friday,
July 16, at 2 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center Auditorium.
Admission is free, and the public is invited and
encouraged to attend.

members and press this Sunday, July 11,
at 7 p.m. in Stafford Center Room 104. The
public is invited to attend.
Wayne Trail, director of the camp at
SWOSU, said about 50 campers from
across Oklahoma will delve into relevant
topics such as sustainability, energy, clean
water and robotics as they learn about
exciting career opportunities available
to them through science, technology,
engineering and math.
“ExxonMobil is committed to engaging
the next generation of creative minds,
thinkers and developers who will keep the

technology.”
Campers are taught by university
faculty, attend daily classes in natural
science, engineering, mathematics and
technology and enjoy activities including
classroom study, experiments, individual
and team projects, weekly field excursions
and inspirational guest speakers. As
part of their educational experience, the
campers also work side by side with
engineers and other professionals who are
accomplished in their chosen technology
related careers.
“SWOSU is honored to once again host
the ExxonMobil Bernard Harris Summer
Science Camp,” Trail said. “Not only are
we providing these students with two funfilled weeks on our campus and offering
many students the unique opportunity to
experience a college campus for the first
time, we are investing in our community
by encouraging the next generation of
innovative problem solvers.”
Campers will also participate in an
“ExxonMobil Media Day,” which will be
held Thursday, July 22, at 10:30 a.m. in
the SWOSU Conference Center, located at
the corner of Seventh and Davis Streets in
Weatherford. The public and press are also
invited to the event.

Conference shake-up?
University presidents discuss possible new athletic conference
The presidents, chancellors and
directors of athletics from the University
of Arkansas at Monticello, Arkansas
Tech University, East Central University,
Harding University, Henderson State
University, Ouachita Baptist University,
Southeastern Oklahoma State University,
Southern Arkansas University and
Southwestern Oklahoma State
University held a meeting in Russellville,
Ark., today to discuss the possibility
of forming a new NCAA Division II
conference.
In a shared announcement the group
issued this statement.
“Our ongoing discussion is producing
positive results as we analyze the
feasibility of creating a new conference
that would reduce the amount of missed
class time by our student-athletes and
reduce our operating costs.
We found during the course of our
meeting that we have similar concerns
and that we are like-minded in our
approach to intercollegiate athletics.
Regardless of the final results of these
discussions, our athletic schedules for
the 2010-11 academic year will not be
affected.”
Among those attending were Jack
Lassiter, Chancellor, University of
Arkansas at Monticello; Robert C. Brown,

Kaufman, Day honored for academics
Volleyball player Kristen Kaufman
and football star Steve Day were among
29 student-athletes honored by the Lone
Star Conference as Scholar-Athlete Award
Winners.
Each academic year, the LSC presents
a Scholar-Athlete Award to one male
and one female student-athlete at each
member institution. These studentathletes are selected as representatives
of the outstanding accomplishments in
athletics, scholarship and leadership that
are displayed on each LSC campus during
the year.
To be eligible for consideration,
student-athletes must have participated
at least two years in their sport and must
have exhausted their athletic eligibility.
Kaufman, a native of Bedford, Texas,
was a four-year starter for the Bulldogs
and ended her career as the school’s
all-time leader in assists with more than
3,400. She was named to the Lone Star
Conference Honorable Mention squad
three times. She graduated in May with a
degree in marketing.
Day, a native of Edmond, Okla., ended
his career as SWOSU’s all-time leader in
a number of passing categories including
most passes completed (684), attempted
(1,334), yards (7,482) and touchdowns

athletic scholarship costs by participating
in a special Hawaiian Luau Dinner and

University pitcher John “Red” Patterson
will have a unique opportunity to
extend his baseball playing career at the
professional level as the Los Angeles
Dodgers selected him Tuesday in the 29th
round of the Major League Baseball Draft
as the 892nd selection.
Patterson, a 6-3, right-hander from
Frisco, Texas, played his senior season
at SWOSU after transferring from the
University of Texas-San Antonio. He
finished 2010 with a 4-3 record and a
additional money for the funding of
athletic scholarships for many of the
12 sports programs SWOSU currently
sponsors.
Last year’s auction raised more than
$91,000 for student athlete scholarships.
The money raised from the three
previous auctions is over $200,000.
Those interested in participating in
either event or serve on a committee are
encouraged to contact Rouben Tourian,
assistant athletic director, at 580-774-3155.

pitched (72.1) and strikeouts (103).
Patterson’s strike out totals were enough

large margin and was the third highest
single-season total in school history. He
was selected to the league’s second-team
all-conference squad.
Patterson is expected to join the
Dodgers’ Arizona Summer League team
in a few weeks where he will continue his
development under the watchful eye of
the Dodgers minor league coaching staff.
