including Trell Etbauer, the 2009 Linderman award winner and Taos Muncy, the 2007 national and world champion in saddle bronc riding, routinely show up to hone their own skills. Latham said, “When cowboys like Trell and Taos show up, they not only raise the level of competition at the jackpots, they also share their experience and teach the others.” Guymon Convention and Tourism helps sponsor the jackpots that take place at the Doc Gardner Memorial Rodeo Arena every Tuesday and Wednesday. Action begins every Tuesday at 3 p.m. with the

r o u g h s t o c k events – bull, bareback, and bronc riding followed by calf roping and steer wrestling. On Wednesdays, goat tying, breakaway roping and barrel racing starts at 5 p.m. with team roping afterwards. The contests provide practice for the student athletes and it gives them the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business.

In addition to the jackpots, Latham has set up several schools this fall. Lari Dee Guy held a breakaway roping school in mid-August, and just last weekend, Troy Pruitt, the 1990 World Calf Roping Champion, took students through the fundamentals of the swing and release and tying before letting the men actually rope off their horses. Upcoming schools include the following:

Bull Riding — September 13-14 led by Charles Sampson, 1982 World champion

Bareback Riding — September 14-15 led by Kelly Timberman, 2004 World champion

Team Roping – September 22 led by Matt Sherwood, 2006 and 2008 World Champion

to his alma mater this fall. Like Chaney, Callie will also compete in roundball as well as rodeo. Seth was the 2009 Central Plains Region All-Around Cowboy and represented OPSU at the College National Finals Rodeo in saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, and tie-down roping.

Several returning students bring experience to the team including Tyrel Larsen, the 2009 Central Plains Region saddle bronc title holder and Quirt McDaniel, who earned fourth place in the region in that event. Latham mentioned Weston Taylor, a Perryton, Texas native who has been a tough competitor in the Kansas Professional Rodeo Association and the Texas Cowboys Rodeo Association in steer wrestling.

On the women’s side, Jordan Muncy, 2009 Central Plains Region All-Around Cowgirl and Barrel Racing champion and Katie Jolly, the reserve goat tying champ in the region, both return for their junior year.

Like other student athletes, rodeo competitors spend plenty of time practicing their sport and staying in shape. In addition to organized practice, Latham sets up regularly scheduled, open competitions commonly called jackpots. Some of the best professionals around

Goodwell, Okla. — New and returning members of the Oklahoma Panhandle State University rodeo team are hard at work preparing once again to dominate the Central Plains Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. With over 600 active members in the Central Plains Region, OPSU has come out on top for 3 of the past 4 years – the men’s team with 3 first places and the women with 3 second places. When asked about the upcoming season, Latham’s response remains, “I hate to make predictions.” And he refuses to do so except to say that he has “a great bunch of kids.” As the first fall rodeo in Colby, Kansas approaches September 18-20, OPSU looks forward to a great year with several top cowboys and cowgirls returning as well as some recruits who have potential in their respective events.

This year, the OPSU family rodeo tradition continues with the addition of Latham’s daughter Chaney, who will also play basketball for the school. Dad Craig won the saddle bronc at the 1988 College National Finals Rodeo and is a 9-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier. May 2009 OPSU graduate, Seth Schafer, saw his sister, Callie off

3NeWSanother Centennial dream-Come-trueArticle Courtesy of Sara Richter

Goodwell, Okla. — On Tuesday, August 25, 2009, another part of the OPSU Centennial plans came to fruition. The combined talents, generosity, and hard work of OPSU President, Dr. David Bryant; Larry Peters, OPSU Vice President of Financial Affairs; and Austin Concrete of Guymon, Okla-homa, came together to complete the shape of the State of Oklahoma on the southwest lawn of Hughes-Strong Hall on the OPSU campus. The State of Oklahoma outline is now filled with deco-rative red concrete and will soon be finished once the “100” is set in the center and the Centennial bricks are laid in the Panhandle area of the state. The state feature joins the new concrete stage on the west side of the building and concrete pads for benches and a picnic table all contribut-ing to a new area on campus—Centennial Park.

Late August has been busy for the Centennial Committee which saw the unveiling of the high-way signs announcing the “Oklahoma Panhandle State University Centennial Corridor.” The dedi-cation ceremony on August 25 was attended by well-wishers and supporters, such as Oklahoma Representative Gus Blackwell, the OPSU admin-istration, the Guymon Ambassadors, and repre-sentatives from the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. Speakers at the ceremony included OPSU President, Dr. David Bryant; Representative Blackwell; Troy Morris, President of the Panhan-dle Association of Alumni and Friends; and Sara Jane Richter, Chair of the Centennial Committee. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation installed the highway signs just west of Guymon and just west of Goodwell on Friday, August 21.

The next Centennial events will occur on Home-coming Saturday—October 10. The annual Centen-nial Car Show will be featured in the parade which will incorporate a history of OPSU and of the Panhan-dle. The Beer City Girls will perform after the parade, and the re-dedication of Hefley Hall will precede the annual BBQ graciously sponsored as always by the Panhandle Association of Alumni and Friends.

The Centennial Concert, featuring performanc-es by OPSU musicians, will be held on Thursday, October 8 in Centennial Theatre in Hughes-Strong Hall. Music will include the debut of the choral work commissioned by the Centennial Commit-tee and created by Dr. Matthew Saunders, Chair of the Department of Music. Lyrics were written by Elaina Stewart, Assistant Professor and Sys-tems and Electronic Resources Librarian at McKee Library. Other musical selections will include songs popular in 1909 so that the hall will be filled with the Edwardian ambience of a century ago.

Leading up to the birthday day, there will be a series of presentations on OPSU his-tory and turn-of-the-century entertain-ment during the last week of October.

“I like Senate because it gets me more involved, and I get to meet more people than I normally would,” said Carlee Scofield, Secretary of the Student Senate. Student Senate officers include J. B. Test, President of the Student Association of OPSU and Student Senate President/Vice President; Chad Sauceda, Secretary; Carlee Scofield, and Treasurer Jesse Voss. Correspondence Secretary, Parliamentarian, and President Pro-Tempore positions still stand open and nominations opened up at the first meeting on September. 2. Voting for these posts will take place next Wednesday.

One discussion at the meeting included who the nominees are for two committees; the Student Supreme Court and the Governmental Elections Committee. Student Supreme Court mainly takes care of disciplinary issues that may arise from a student or faculty member. The nominees for this committee include Hector Cobos-Leon, William Benson, Teron Guidry, Joshua Dewitt, and Michael Daugherty. The Elections Committee nominees include Carlee Scofield (Chair), Leslie Bledsoe, Deannah McChesney, Josh Muller, and Ryann Daugherty. This committee basically takes care of any voting situation on campus with the main voting event being Homecoming. Homecoming Chairman Carlee says more help by any student that would like to volunteer with Homecoming festivities would be greatly appreciated. To contact Carlee if you are interested in lending a helping hand with activities for Homecoming, stop by Holter Hall’s residence office where she works or go to the Senate Office in the Student Union.

So what exactly does the Student Senate do? And who forms the Senate along with the elected officers?

The Senate has a set budget which currently stands at $19,933.03. With this money, the Senate makes different activities possible for the student body, including Homecoming festivities — from the parade to deciding on a particular theme. The money supports other clubs and organizations as well. In order for a club to receive money from the Senate, they must be a chartered member, fill out a certain form, and propose what the money will be spent on. The Senate will then vote, and the money given to that certain club will be decided.

Along with forming committees, providing money for different organizations, and playing an active role in many activities on campus, the Senate commits to many other tasks as well for the student body.

The Student Senate is comprised of one senator per department. For example, the math department, science department, art department and also all organizations and clubs on campus each have a Senator. Two Senators from each housing facility (Holter, Field, and Aggie Apartments) also make up the Senate as well as two from Married Student Housing and two students who live off campus can be Senators also if interested.

If you have any interest in getting involved with Student Senate anybody can attend a Student Senate meeting. Meetings are every other week on Wednesday’s at 7pm in the Noble Center Conference Room. The Senate would be very happy to see you present. Carlee concludes, “Being active in Senate is a good way to get involved and recognized on campus.”

OPSU Student SenateBy Chaney Latham

This year is an exciting year because OPSU is celebrating its 100th year. Oh, if the trees and buildings could talk imagine what stories they could tell! This college has changed in many ways over the years as well as the number of times it’s had a name change.

One of the multiple ways in which this school has transformed into its former stat-ure is by the improvement of housing facili-ties. It’s hard to believe the first students to attend this university slept in tents, and now students have the opportunity to live in nice apartment complexes.

A very important decision that a college student has to make is where to live, and there are options to choose from on and off campus. The apartments and dorms filled up fast this semester, and Jessica Lofland in the Housing Affair office says, “I’m excited to have so many people on campus!”

The Aggie apartments are completely full with its max capacity of 144 residents. South and North Holter Hall combined total 242 students, while Field Hall has 99 occupants. These numbers show that 487 students are living on campus this year not including the 31 that are living in Married Student Hous-ing.

Actually, at the beginning of the semester, there was not enough room for everybody on campus, but the upper classmen were gener-ous enough to double up which is very appre-ciated. The Baptist Student Union also lent a

big hand by temporarily housing students in need of a place.

“I would like to thank all of the students for their patience, and also Jay Kindsvater and everyone at BSU for taking in kids that did not have a place.” Jessica adds.

Everyone that requested a dorm or apart-ment got one, but with an increase in enroll-ment (which is great) it is a little more difficult to find a place to live off campus.

Seth Glouse says, “I have been looking for a house in Goodwell for almost a month.” He tried during the summer months to find one as well, and he did finally find a place this last week, but agrees that trying to find a house is one of the hardest things for a college stu-dent to do; especially, in a small town such as Goodwell.

There are key steps to help students find a place off campus. One is to contact landlords to find a place. Some landlords in the area include Gus Blackwell, Roger Edenborough, and Rowdy Slavin. Second step is to check out different places to try and find the best deal, and when the best possible deal is found reserve the house before leaving for summer break.

There are many housing options on and off campus, but the key is to not wait until the last minute to try and find a place. OPSU Housing has improved tremendously over the years, and college students have taken advantage of the facilities seeing how fast everything has filled up for this centennial year.

Oklahoma Panhandle State University rodeo teams have extremely busy schedules and the upcoming fall rodeo season is quickly approaching. The first rodeo is September 18-20 at Colby Community College in Colby, Kansas. Hoping for continued success in the arena, head coach Craig Latham planned for eight major rodeo schools put on by people at the top of their events. The women went first with the Lari Dee Guy breakaway school, but August 29-30, it was the men’s turn. Troy Pruitt won the World Championship in 1990 in the tie-down roping event, and Aggies learned intently as he showed them the ropes.

For two days, the men learned and sharpened their calf roping skills from the swing and release of the rope, to the tie. The first day started off at the simplest level; roping the bale off the ground. Pruitt helped each student individually in that all-around-nice-guy kind of way, which is why he is a favorite in the cowboy world. Next the men tied calves “from the post,” which means the calf was tied to an arena pole, and off the ground the men ran down the rope, flanked and tied the calf; no horses involved. Finally, students got on their horses and roped out of the “box,” just like at a rodeo. Plenty of practice took place and many students came out feeling that needed confidence just before the start of the intense season.

Kacey Graham, a senior who has competed on the Aggie men’s rodeo team for four years, said, “Troy’s school is one of the best I have been to,

he is a really good teacher.” Because he has been here for a full four years, when asked how the team performed, it was encouraging to hear “It went well, we have a lot of really good ropers this year.” Graham looks forward to the 2009-2010 college rodeo season.

Some of the new faces to watch for in the calf roping event include Drew Taylor of Idaho as well Brice Ingo and Jesse Britton, along with several others. After two full days of roping, the men seem anxious as they continue to practice and await Colby. With the fall jackpots already started, they will continue to take place until the end of the fall season in November. Tuesday nights at the

Oklahoma Panhandle State University arena men’s event jackpots are held, and Wednesday nights hold the women’s. More rodeo schools are coming up, with bull rider Charles Sampson on September 13-14. Go Aggies!

Top Roper Shares his SkillsBy Jordan Muncy

The Oklahoma Panhandle State foot-ball team went to Kirksville, Missouri to take on the Truman State University Bulldogs last Saturday. Both Truman State and the Aggies were looking to get their first win of the young season.

Truman got the ball to start the game, going on to score a touchdown through the air and added a PAT with 11:56 left to go in the first quarter, making the game 7-0. On the very next possession, the Aggies drove the ball down field that ended in a 27 yard touchdown pass from Vincent Gay to Tyler Bennett, and with Brian Holmes’ PAT, made the game 7-7. After that Aggie scoring drive, it was all Truman for the remainder of the game largely due to mental mistakes according to Coach Wyatt.

The second quarter began still tied up at 7 a piece, but 20 seconds in the Bulldogs kicked a 27-yard field goal to make it 10-7. The Bulldogs scored again on a 14 yard pass and added a PAT with 9:29 left in the half to make it 17-7. The Bulldogs’ remaining points in the half came off a safety and a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown to make it 26-7 going into the half.

The Aggies started off the second half with the ball, but gave it up on a fumble that was taken 39 yards for a Truman Touchdown. Every time it looked like the Aggies were about to get something going in the second half, a penalty or interception would set them back. The game ended up 54-7 in favor of Truman.

Obviously Wyatt was very dis-appointed with the loss, but he said there were many good things that still

truman State tops aggies came out of the game. The Aggies still rushed for over 100 yards, and they threw the ball better than they did the previous week against Ft. Lewis. Wide receiver Doug Williams had a strong game, catching 6 balls for 90 yards, and Darryl Brister was the lead-ing rusher with 68 yards on 18 carries. Defensively Saul Jimenez was in on 13 tackles and while Josh Olemann was in on 11.

The Aggies have a bye week this week, but will return to action the next Saturday against Langston University at home with the kick-off set for 6 pm.

OPSU Cross country season is right around the corner. The men’a and women’a teams are both looking to take steps in the right direction. The men’s side features a mix of returners, and some very talented newcomers. There are to returners from last year’s squad, Jesus Uribe and Quentin Williams. They were the top two guys on the team a year ago, and are getting better with every practice according to Coach Esparza. John Korir is a junior college transfer from Coffeville Community College in Kansas, and he is expected to be the team’s top runner this season. The other two runners making up this year’s team are Martin Baeza and Shaquille Redhair, and when they get back in shape and completely healthy they should be very good runners for this year’s team. The men are currently picked last in the conference based off of last year’s results, but Esparza said, “there is no reason why we should be in

the middle of the pack by the time conference starts; I think we are going to surprise some people this year.” The women’s team features a completely new roster from a year ago. Amanda Boggs, Rachael Beck, and Veronica Lozano all are competing for the number one spot on the team based on practice. Kayla Joos, who is also a cheerleader, and Arlene Soto, also a softball player, are both expected to be really good runners for the team this year. Esparza says that all the girls are improving immensely every practice, and hopes that they get better every race and have fun. The teams start their season off on September 12 in Canyon, Texas. They also run at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Oklahoma State, and Garden City before the Heartland Conference meet in Dallas on October 24. Look for the Aggie cross country team to make some noise in this season.

ariesYour charming side is out in force today, so make the most of it! You should find a few opportunities to impress potential romantic partners or business

associates, and it’s easier than ever. taurus

You’re in a good groove today, and should be able to prove to almost anyone how dependable you can be -- all you have to do is act naturally! You may

impress someone so much they give you a new title of respect. Gemini

Listen to your buds today -- even those you don’t know all that well. They may have some tips or jokes you haven’t heard yet, and you

could stand to dig up more social business. Cancer

You’re having a hard time dealing with authority figures today -- they’re just driving you insane for some reason! It’s a really good day for you to keep to yourself and keep the mouth shut most of the

time.leo

Your sense of fun is primed and ready to go -- so see if you can round up the gang and go do something fun! It’s one of those

days when you can easily pick up the rules to any odd social situation. Virgo

Use that intense energy to get something big done -- you can certainly push ahead by hook or by crook. Your morale is high, so it’s likely that

you can get through all sorts of new business. libra

An act of kindness leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, but it doesn’t take you long to kick into gear and repay the favor. Life is great, and you

feel like a part of something big.Scorpio

Now is a really great time to take care of your health in a positive way. Get organized, track information and walk up an extra flight of stairs -- you have what

it takes to make things work better for you. Sagittarius

If you’ve got kids, you are almost certainly on the same wavelength If not, now is a good time for you to spend time with the kids in your life. Babysit, tutor or just mess

around with them. Capricorn

Something in your life has to end today -- but it’s almost certainly positive! Whatever you walk away from is almost sure to be long forgotten

in just a short time. Let go and grab the next big thing!aquarius

Keep tossing out ideas today -- you need to stay at the front of the pack, and you should be able to impress all the key players

with your brainstorms and inspirations Get to work soon, though! .Pisces

Communication is a bit more difficult than usual right now, but you can expect more clarity soon.

If you ask for more time, it’s a safe bet that you’ll get it. Don’t make any firm decisions!

you know what really rubs me wrong? Non-participating voters. i’m not talking about people who are eligible to vote but don’t. No, i’m talking about people who are eligible to vote but don’t. No, i’m talking about people who vote on things that don’t even affect them. many of you may have noticed that the exhibit section of the cafeteria has been removed. you know, the part where the food is cooked right in front of you. Personally speaking, my favorite section. yes, it has been removed for efficiency. this particularly doesn’t rub me wrong, it’s the fact that people who don’t eat in the cafeteria removed it. Non-participating voters...rub me

wrong...and have ruined my dining routine.
