Damage was heavy to trees around campus last week when nearly 12 inches of snow covered the area. This bee is back to normal now, but many Magnolia trees were heavily damaged because of the wet flakes. FJectrical power was cut off to many Durant homes due to broken limbs falling on power lines.

March 6 Is Birthday

SSU #To Be 70 Years By Marlene Jackson

Wben Oklahoma became a state in 1907, there were three normal schools in the western part of the state; but none in the · Indian territory or eastern part of the state, which included Durant. The state capitol was at Guthrie then, and businessmen from Durant went there to persuade legislators to establish a new normal school here. A normal school was a school chiefly for training elementary school teachers.

Another principal contender for a state school was Ada and that may explain the rivalry between the two cities that exists today.

On March 6, 1909, the Okla· homa legislature did approve the bill which would establish South· eastern Normal School in Durant. For some unexplained reason, the

Debate Tourney · This Weekend

"Federal Government should implement a program which guarantees employment oppor­tunities to all U.S. citizens in the labor force," is the topic of the Fifty-Second Annual Savage Forensic Debate to be held February 16 and 17. This event is sponsored by SOSU and the Oklahoma Theta Chapter of the Pi Kappa Delta.

Central scheduling points will be located in the Little Theatre, Friday 16 and the Montgomery Auditorium on Saturday 17. Teams from Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana and Missouri will be representing their pro­spedive colleges.

legislature decided to establish three new schools, and did so at Ada and Tahlequah in addition to the new school in Durant.

Now a contest was on in Durant to choose a site to locate the new school. The competition was be­tween landholders owning land surrounding Durant in every direction. The site that was finally chosen was a peach orchard and the men in favor of it, built a tall wooden tower a few hundred feet from where Morrison Hall now stands.

There was a ladder built to the top of the tower and when the superintendent of public instruc­tion and members of the State Board of Regents arrived in Durant in May of 1909, they were treated to a magnificent view that can still be seen from the third floor of Morrison Hall. The decision was made.

The first classes were held in June, 1909, and 826 students enrolled that first term, meeting in bOrrowed school rooms. The names of instructors have faded into obscurity except for Paul Laird who taught Physics and Chemistry and coached a little. The football field immortalizes his name today.

So Southeastern is 70 years old now. A time for celebration and perhaps a party in her honor could be a part of the busy campus schedule. So, here's to you, Soutbea.stern, "Happy Birthday" and may you have many more productive years.

Some citizens complained that the location was too far from town and there were no roads to the site. But plans were made to begin building the school the next September.

Durant Athletic Fields Due Improvements

Funds have been approved for improving recreational facilities in Durant, Cong. Wes Watkins announced today.

Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, a branch of the Department of Interior, has approved S27 ,500 for the City of Durant to develop sports and play fields in parks on the north side of the town and to mate tennis court • unprovements.

The S27 ,500 in federal funds is

•

to be matched at the local level with another S27 ,500 for the total project. The HCRS money was granted on an application from the Division of State Parts of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recrea· tion Department.

Watkins said state and local officials involved in the park project should be receiving more detailed information within a few days from HCRS.

_SavageHes Finish Fifth To Win ·Consolation In CSU Tournament

By Kristie Homer A consolation championship

was claimed by the Savagette basketball team this past week­end at the Central State Invita­tional Tournament.

A total of eight teams from Oklahoma traveled to Edmond to put their skills to the test last Friday and Saturday. Langston, Northwestern, Northeastern, Central, East Central, South­western, Oklahoma Christian, and southeastern all came together to play. Langston took first place honors while North­eastern-came in second.

Southeastern lost their first game to Langston by a last second foul call which gave the Langston ladies a chance to pull out a win at the free throw line. The pressure dido 't seem to bother Langston as they hit both shots. This all happened during overtime as the Savagettes and Ladies were tied at 58 at the end of regulation.

Langston gained control of the first half of the game by running and gunning as they led 28-24 ·at the half, but Southeastern came back determined to win as they caught Langston and stayed neck and neck. The clock ran out with the score tied.

Five more minutes was given to the teams and it looked as if there might be a double overtime for a while. The score was 64-64 with just a few seconds left and Langston had the ball. A laSt attempt for a victory was made as one of the Ladies shot and was fouled. This gave Langston the opportunity to pull ahead and win as the clock showed one second . . remammg.

The final score was 66-64 and Langston went on the winners side of the tournament bracket and Southeastern on the losers side. This first loss was a crucial one as the best Southeastern could do then was take fifth place. The first four games of the

· tourney determined who went for the first four places and a trophy,

and who went on the consolation side, fifth through eighth place, with no trophy.

The Savagettes had to come bact to meet East Central at 6:30 after playing Langston at 12:30. The girls were tired after traveling since 7 a.m. and playing, but caifte out fired up and ready to whip ECU. South­eastern used their height as an advantage and worked for inside shots. The Savagettes led it 31-26 at halftime and never let down as they outscored EC.38 to 25 points in the second half and finished with a 69-51 win ,

Natalie Brown had an outstand­ing game hitting 17 for 24 field goals for 34 points and was four for four at the free throw line for a total of 38 points. Brown was helped out by Trina Youree who had ten assists fur the night and ten points of her own. Kathy Cotton had seven points, Rhonda Tipton and Cindy Adams added five and four respectively.

Cherry Kemp had three and Sara Dixon put in a bucket for two points. Brown also had 12 rebounds and Tipton grabbed 13. ' The Savagettes had some time

to rest after their loss and win on. Friday as they weren't scheduled to come back until 4:30 Saturday. The tourney matches were narrowed down and it was OCC that the Savagettes would have to beat for the consolation championship. These two had played twice before and split so the Savagettes knew what to expect.

Despite thisJ Southeastern came out slow and played within a four to five point range of OCC up. until the last few minutes. OCC led 31-26 at the half but Southeastern got it in gear finally and pulled ahead 51-SO with seven minutes left. Things were pretty shaky from then on out as the scores got doser together with the clock running out.

It was 62-63 and OCC ahead when things took a tum for the good for SOSU for the first time .

during one of their many close games of the season. Kathy C.()tton was fouled wit)l about 1:25 left which gave her a chance at the free throw line for an easy two points.

Cotton kept cool and ripped the net on both attempts. This put Southeastern ahead 64-63 but OCC still had the time to get in a bucket or two. Southeastern buclteled down and worked their press effectively as they caused four turnovers and scored with

Brown was again the top scorer with 21. Tipton had a hot hand as she had 19 points along with Dixon who substituted in to add ten points. Cotton had twelve points, and Kemp added four. Tipton led in rebounding with 13, Cotton toot 11, and Brown brought. down eight. The team only committed 16 turnovers and they shot 60 percent from the field and 71 percent at the charity stripe.

Coach Vicki Hudson was proud of the girls despite their first loss as they played well during the entire tourney. "We had a slow start with OCC but we finally got it · together and played like we knew how. We tried a new defe.nse out which confused OCC and helped us obtain a lead. I was pleased with our press at the last which caused two turnovers and two steals and prevented OCC from scoring. I was also very proud of the unselfish attitude of my players during the game with East Central. The outside players worked very well at getting the ball inside to Brown and toot advantage of our height. Brown moved well to get open and we used her ability at every oppor· tunity," commented Hudson.

The women play at home Tuesday at 6:00 against Central State and again Wednesday at 5:30 with East Central before the men's game.
