Oklahoma City University Associate Dean Melanie Shelley and dance management student Carla Yoselow (back) brought custom-made Halloween costumes to children at Positive Tomorrows last October. Shown in front are Blake, 9, and Cody, 11.3. OCU entertainment business student Matthew Sipress helps 11-year-old Cody, a Positive Tomorrows student, with his pirate costume.

students enrolled in service learning courses at oklahoma city university get lessons for the heart as well as for the mind while they study through giving back to the community.

ocu offers more service learning courses than any university in the state and features service learning classes in 24 different programs including nursing, religion, english, psychology, arts management, theater, mass communications, biology, account-ing and economics.

from sewing halloween costumes for homeless children and teaching dance to elementary students to helping youngsters learn spanish and creating a church magazine, ocu service projects reach across the community.

oklahoma city university service learning director dann may said the program gives students opportunities to apply what they are learning in the classroom through service in a community-based setting. since the program’s inception in 2002, ocu has offered more than 175 service learning courses.

a survey of ocu religion students in service learning courses last year showed that 83 percent gained a better understand-ing of themselves and 85 percent had a deeper understand-ing of concepts they learned about in class. additionally, 88 percent said they learned to better appreciate different cul-tures and 60 percent said they developed close relationships with other students through their projects. a survey of faculty across campus showed that more than 90 percent felt service learning enhanced their ability to teach core curriculum.

ocu alumna lily herrera, ’09, Bs in biochemistry, worked on a garden at the Buddha mind monastery in oklahoma city and said she learned much more in her world religions class by interacting with the two leaders at the monastery.

“my service learning project was an eye opening experience that i really believe changed me as a person,” herrera said.

arts management students in costume lab courses at ocu put their skills to work last halloween to give homeless children at positive tomorrows custom costumes. for some children, it was the first costume they ever had.

“i don’t know who had the biggest smile, the student who made the costume or the kid who got to keep it,” said sandy thomas, volunteer coordinator at positive tomorrows, a privately-funded oklahoma city school for children in kinder-garten to fifth grade who are currently homeless. “the kids are so surprised that someone who didn’t even know them took that much time to show they care about them.”

ocu entertainment Business student matthew sipress said his service project was among the most fulfilling tasks he’s ever done.

“even having worked in professional theatre, nothing has felt like this,” sipress said.

all undergraduate students at ocu are required to take at least one service learning course prior to graduation.

“studies have shown that service learning enhances learning as well as student engagement and helps with student reten-tion while benefiting the community,” may said. “With service learning, everyone is a winner.”

college rivalries produce college pranks, and the senior Wall was the innocent victim of a turf battle between ocu students and oklahoma Baptist university students.

a 1929 newspaper story in The Oklahoman headlined “sundial may Be cause of clash Between schools” gives a few details about the scuffle.

“universities have fought over many various sub-jects, but it may remain for a sundial to sever rela-tions between oklahoma city university and oklahoma Baptist university of shawnee.”

it seems the oBu students took an annual football game rivalry a bit too far one year by “mutilating” the ocu sundial. and when ocu replaced the sun-dial, the pranksters returned the next year and ocu students arrived to “find their grounds decorated with announcements of Baptist hopes of victory done in black oil paint.”

president antrim decided to put an end to it once and for all, sending a “communications” to shawnee stating that “unless damages to the sundial, the walks and the senior Wall are taken care of, official connec-tions between the two schools will be broken off.”

ocu wasn’t always innocent of rival hijinks, however, and antrim knew it all too well. a story, dramatized for comedic effect, in the 1924 Scarab describes an instance where goldbug fever got out of hand.

it seems some students travelled north to edmond and did enough damage to catch the attention of the president of central state teachers’ college, now called the university of central oklahoma.

“hello! president antrim? this is president mitchell,” the Scarab quotes, tongue-in-cheek. “it is indeed a great displeasure for me to be forced to call to your attention the distasteful fact that some young rene-gades in a manner most uncouth and barbarous visited our city last nite, scattering hither and thither about our campus unsightly strands of gold and white paper, and severely marring the architectural beauty of our campus by scrawling with smeary gold paint the letters ‘o.c.c.’ (ocu’s former name) upon the beautiful white walk leading to the main entrance. also, those outlaws deliberately, with malice aforethought, removed from the grounds a historic sundial which we cherish as our own life and without which we cannot tell when to dis-miss classes. i deem this dastardly deed an insult, and demand that those who participated in this clandestine escapade be made to repent.

‘it shall be done,’ quoth our worthy president in a tone most severe, (suppressing a chuckle.)”
