Graduatesuccessmeasured

Fall graduation deadline Sept. 12

By Matt MontgomeryStaff Writer

Employers of OCCC graduates said they value those employees and would hire more workers from the

ranks of OCCC graduates.This was one finding in a report given to the college

regents Aug. 18 at a Board of Regents meeting whereRegents discussed the Monitoring Report on Achievingthe College’s END: Graduate Success.

Institutional Effectiveness Director Janet Perry saidemployers who hire OCCCgraduates are satisfied withour students.

“Approximately 54 employ-ers were contacted,” Perrysaid.

“Fifty percent responded andthe result was, 95 percent whoresponded were happy work-ing with OCCC graduates,”Perry said.

The college also looked atother areas of graduate success. The report gave a de-tailed analysis of transfer student performance.

OCCC students who transferred to universities weretracked to compare their grade point average with otherstudents at the receiving institution.

OCCC students maintained a grade point average equalto, or higher than, other students at the University ofCentral Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University.

However, OCCC students’ grades were slightly belowother OU students.

Listed on the top 10 employers of OCCC grads werehospitals or health care providers. Graduates in healthcare professions generally must pass a national exam tobe licensed.

OCCC graduates in the nursing field and the occupa-tional therapy field had high pass rates on the licensureexams.

Licensure exams are a key component for OCCC stu-dents looking to succeed in the health professions in-dustry, said Physical Therapist Assistant Program Di-rector Jennifer Ball.

“In the history of our licensure exams, only one personhasn’t passed the exam,” shesaid.

Friday, Sept. 12, is the recommended dead-

line for OCCC students toturn in graduation applica-tions.

Students who are hopingto graduate this fall orspring should fill out an ap-plication and turn it in tothe office of Records andGraduation Services, saidDirector of Graduation Ser-vices Barbara Gowdy.

The college accepts appli-cations all semester shesaid. The deadline is to en-sure everything is handledearly.

“It’s a published deadlineto encourage people to ap-ply early for graduation,”Gowdy said.

Any student who plans to

graduate in Decemberneeds to fill out an appli-cation.

“A lot of students assumethey’ve finished all theirdegree requirements andthey want their degree, butif they don’t apply, then wedon’t know that,” Gowdysaid.

Students who miss theSept. 12 deadline, can stillapply, she said.

“We’re not going to pun-ish a student for forgettingto apply.

“Now, if it’s into the fol-

lowing semester, thenthey’re going to have to bethat semester’s graduate.

“So if they finish their de-gree in the fall but theywaited too late (to apply),then they’ll be a springgraduate.”

Gowdy said even stu-dents who plan to gradu-ate in the spring shouldtake care of the applicationprocess as soon as pos-sible.

“We encourage students

Turn the channelChanges in nursing programcome as a suprise to someTo the editor:

I have been a student atOCCC for three semesters.I came to this college tobecome a nurse because ofthe reputation that thisnursing program has.

During my admission toOCCC, I was advised that Ineeded to talk with an aca-demic adviser who informedme that I should make anappointment with theHealth Professions adviser.I follow directions well, so Imet with Claire Echols.

Ms. Echols gave me a planand I have been followingthis plan without variationso that I could reach mygoal of becoming a regis-tered nurse.

One day, I spoke with myfriend, who also plans toenter the nursing program,and I found that some ofthe requirements hadchanged. I became a littleflustered to say the least.

I met with Claire veryquickly to find out whatthings had changed and sheadjusted my plan and gave

me the new information. Iam fortunate that I can stillmeet my goal to enter theprogram in the fall 2009because my math score willallow me to continue in atimely approach and in-clude the new require-ments.

I am writing this letterjust in case there are otherstudents who do not knowabout the change. In thefall there will not be a mathcourse required for thenursing program but thepre-requisite for Principlesof Chemistry, a new re-quirement, is IntermediateAlgebra.

The other change is thatMicrobiology of InfectiousDisease will not be the re-quired Microbiology course.The new course is the fivecredit hour BIO 2125 Mi-crobiology.

There may be otherchanges but I am prettysure that these are themajor problem changes, sofar.

If you have not met with

an adviser, please meet withsomeone very quickly. I wasalso informed about infor-mation sessions that havebeen set up to provide in-formation about the nurs-ing program — this shouldhelp, as well.

Reality television may be causing those whowatch it become less intelligent. Why is this?

Maybe one of the biggest contributing factors isthat reality television has taught us to be dumb.

Reality TV is leading to the demise of networktelevision. Mainstream television has taken a plungedown the drain.

With the vast array of new television shows outthere, only a select few are genuine and real.

Ratings are keeping reality shows alive; peopleare watching them. Reality shows have some of thebest ratings even though they are some of theworst-made shows on television.

Scriptwriters for reality TV are writing to thegeneral population as if we were all less intelligent.

They are casting characters who use improperlanguage and speech. Their characters fall short ofexceptional.

We shouldn’t allow them to get away with this bywatching their badly-made shows.

Reality shows like “Biggest Loser,” “Project Run-way” and “Hogan Knows Best” are a far cry fromeducational and, scarily enough, they don’t seemvery real. More or less, reality shows are taking overthe networks and are beginning to eliminate betterviewing, such as sitcoms.

The best sitcoms from 10 years ago, such as“Seinfeld,” “Married with Children” and “Friends”are long gone. “Seinfeld” is considered by many tobe one of the best sitcoms ever made. It wasintelligently written with its characters carrying onconversations.

Although “Seinfeld” isn’t considered an educa-tional program and is just entertaining, it is stillintelligently written. In modern day, shows like“Seinfeld” are obsolete. Audiences today are moreinterested in aimless reality shows.

The general reality TV audience is between theages of 18 and 35. As college students we are themajority of those watching reality shows.

If we continue to dumb ourselves down by watch-ing mindless reality shows, there might not be achance to salvage good television.

Watching too much bad entertainment isn’t good.An easy solution would be to turn off the television,

when nothing is on and find something else to do. Oldpastimes such as reading a book or drawing are goodsupplements for watching too much television.

Watching television isn’t necessarily the problembut watching bad television is a problem. There aresome good alternatives for reality TV such as theDiscovery Channel or the History Channel.

If more continue to watch reality shows, thenmore will follow.

Therefore, If we begin watching more fulfillingand better written programs instead of mindlessgarbage like reality TV, writers might notice thisand eliminate reality shows altogether.

The absence of reality shows would be a goodthing for all of us.

‘Traitor’ earns perfect scoreFor anyone who enjoys

an action-packed spy dra-ma, the movie “Traitor” issure to hit the spot.

“Traitor” was releasedAug. 27 and it is a first-rateoffering by Overture Films.

Samir Horn (Don Chea-dle) is an American specialoperative working with aterrorist group in Yemen.

The question posed at thebeginning of the movie iswhether Horn is a traitor.

Because of his devotionto his Islamic beliefs andcertain events that occur,the FBI begins to questionHorn’s loyalty to the U.S.

Operative Roy Clayton(Guy Pearce) begins an in-vestigation of Horn, whichhas Clayton spanning theglobe.

Jeff Daniels has only asmall part compared to thelength of the movie, buthe gives a good perfor-mance as CIA agentCarter.

This action-filled movieis a realistic look at the

inner workings of terror-ism.

It shows the passion ofsome members of the Jihadwho truly believe that whatthey are doing is the will ofAllah.

Said Taghmaoui playsOmar, who becomes Horn’sbrother in faith despite arocky introduction.

“Traitor” also shows thegreed and perversion ofsome leaders who exploittheir religion for money andpower.

Aly Khan portrays Fareed,who twists holy words tojustify his lavish lifestyle,paid for by money launder-ing for the terrorists.

This brainchild of SteveMartin was turned into ascreenplay and directed byJeffrey Nachmanoff.

In an earlier interview,Nachmanoff said hethought of the ending afterMartin suggested thepremise.

Nachmanoff then had towrite the story around the

ending. He was successfulon both counts.

This film contains intenserealism in story content,and keeps the audiencewondering will happennext.

The acting ability of Chea-dle and Taghmaoui is ex-cellent, as the charactersbecome real people.

The theme of the film em-phasizes the fact that sui-cide bombers and terror-ists do not have a certainface, only a certain beliefsystem.

The two hours of pureentertainment has a sur-prise ending that alone isworth the price of admis-sion.

Rated PG-13 for intenseviolent sequences, thematicmaterial and brief lan-guage, “Traitor” takes a re-alistic look at the questionof national security — andgives an unsettling answer.

Rating: A+—Cynthia Praefke

Alaska isn’t exactlyknown as a musicalgoldmine. Apparently, thestate’s frozen woods andarctic tundra aren’t quiteapt for great bands — ex-cept for experimental rockband Portugal. The Man.

The band’s third album,“Censored Colors,” is de-cidedly more low-key thanthe band’s previous work.Its slow pace meandersthrough the album’s 15tracks.

But even with the newdirection, the band man-ages to keep its signaturesounds intact. The quirkyapproach and diverse in-strumentation the band isknown for are all here inspades.

Even the simpler, moreacoustic-based songs aredensely layered withstrings, piano, rich vocalharmonies and a variety of

other elements.The band touches on a

variety of musical styles onthe album. The opener, “LayMe Back Down,” is spaceyand very much prog rock,while “Hard Times” bringsto mind stoner rock bandslike Black Mountain orKyuss.

The album’s centerpiece,“New Orleans,” is a jazzynumber that wouldn’t beout of place in some Bour-bon Street club.

That song also continuesthe trend set by “Chicago”on the band’s debut“Waiter: You Vultures” inwhich the best song on thealbum is named after a city.

The album closes with thereggae style gang vocals of“Our Way,” which leavesthe listener on a very posi-tive, upbeat note.

The album was releasedon the band’s own record

‘Censored’ strong enough tocontend for album of the year

label, Approaching AIRball-oons, and is distributed byEqual Visions Records.

Fans who only liked theheavier, high-energy ma-terial on Portugal’s previ-ous albums may be disap-pointed in “Censored Col-ors,” but for everyone else,it’s an exceptional piece ofwork that is a strong con-tender for album of theyear.

Students learn keys to financial successBy Stephen SossamonStaff Writer

No one is too young tostart saving money, stu-dents were told in a cam-pus seminar Aug. 20.

The Financial LiteracySeminar, hosted by UMBbank, was a chance for stu-dents and faculty to learnmore about managing theirfinances.

Jason Pound, of UMBbank, was the primaryspeaker for the seminar andopened for Oklahoma Con-gresswoman Mary Fallin.

Pound presented what hecalled “The Ten Myths ofFinance,” which were 10things about finance thatare commonly misunder-stood.

The first two were prob-ably the hardest to swal-low, “finances are compli-cated” and “budgets pre-vent fun.”

“After every myth, I wantyou to all say ‘wrong,’”Pound said. “Because all ofthese myths are false.”

Finances are simple, hesaid.

“Spend less money thanyou make,” he said. “Orfind a way to make more[money].”

Pound said this methodprevents debt and is thereason finances aren’t com-plicated.

To the “budgets preventfun” myth, Pound said youhave to have a plan so youcan allow yourself to have

spending money for fun,and not be worried aboutexpenses.

“You can’t be a realistand a dreamer.”

Another point Poundmade was, no one is tooyoung to start saving.

“You can’t afford to notstart saving,” he said.

Pound said saving earlywill prevent bad financialhabits.

Paying bills is extremelyimportant, Pound said.

“You have to pay yourbills when you say you’regoing to pay your bills,” hesaid. “Otherwise, you willdevelop bad credit.”

Another myth Poundpointed out was “becomingwealthy is based off luck.”

He said most of the richpeople in America got richbecause they saved andmanaged, not because ofluck.

“It’s based on manage-ment,” he said. “Not howmuch money you make, buthow much you keep.”

Pound, in closing, re-ferred everyone who at-tended the seminar to read“The Richest Man inBabylon” by George Clasonand “The Millionaire NextDoor” by Thomas Stanley.

Fallin said the seminarcould help the next genera-tion.

“It’s good to be able totrain the young folks abouthow to manage their mo-ney,” she said.

Fallin added that unex-

pected bills or financialslumps can really openeyes.

“Nothing will cause youto reevaluate your fi-nances until somethingreally hits you,” she said.

Business major JohnHenson said he thought theseminar had great infor-mation.

“There was some goodadvice, like saving tospend,” he said. “[Pound]

made a good point thatyou can also still have funwhile managing your fi-nances.”

OCCC preps for active shooter threats

By Chris LuskEditor

A college safety drillworked fairly well in July,but Safety and Security Di-rector Ike Sloas said hefound room for improve-ment.

On July 25, Safety andSecurity conducted a drillto test the response thecampus would take if therewere an active shooter orother physical threat oncampus.

This was the first time thecollege has done this drill,known as Shelter in Place.

Sloas said the goal of thedrill was to prepare every-one to know what to do incase of an emergency.

Sloas graded the collegepositively.

“I gave us a B for the firsttime,” he said.

Sloas said the securitymeasures worked and heconsidered the drill a suc-cess.

He said everyone was toldto follow instructions inaccordance to the Safetyand Security EmergencyProcedures, which areposted in every classroomand throughout campus.

According to these proce-dures, in the event of aphysical threat on campus,everyone is instructed toclose and lock the hallwaydoors, turn off the lights,shut any blinds and moveaway from exposed areas.

Desks, tables and otheravailable objects are to beused to provide protection.

Sloas said individualswho are in open placeswhen a warning is givenshould go to the nearestexit.

He said the campus isnotified of shooter threatsthrough voice alarms viathe campus IP phones andthrough the fire alarm sys-tem.

These notifications arenot alarms like a fire ortornado alarm. They are an

automated voice warning ofthe threat, Sloas said.

At 2 p.m. on the day of thedrill, voice alarms andphone warnings were is-sued, instructing those oncampus to take shelter andhide from view.

The drill took approxi-mately 15 minutes to com-plete, Sloas said.

Sophomore Kristina Nu-nez said the drill was a goodidea.

“I’ve seen the safety post-ers but probably haven’tpaid as closeattention tothem as Ishould be,”Nunez said.“By trainingthe facultyand staff onwhat to do ina bad situa-tion, they candefinitely help thestudents out.

“I feel safe knowing we'retaking steps to be pre-pared.”

Sloas said the OklahomaCity Police Department wason hand to observe the drilland they were impressed.

“The police departmentthought we did a great job,”he said. “They were here tosee what is going on in anemergency while they areon their way to respond.

“They need to know whatto expect when they gethere.”

Sloas said the goal is tohave everyone locked downand the hallways clearedbefore the police arrive.

In addition to the police,Sloas and five other collegeemployees were stationedthroughout the campus toobserve the drill: MediaRelations CoordinatorCordell Jordan, Senior Hu-man Resources SpecialistLarry Robertson, AssistantDirector of Facilities Man-agement Chris Snow, Cam-pus Armed Security Ser-geant Kevin Tipton andCoordinator of Risk Man-

agement Lisa Vaughan.These six employees

checked for overall partici-pation and how properly theprocedures were followed,Sloas said.

“I’d say just about every-one cooperated, it was prob-ably a 99-percent partici-pation rate,” Sloas said.“And [the observers] founda few things for us to im-prove on next time.”

Robertson, an observer,said during the drill he, andother observers, went

around cam-pus and at-tempted toenter class-rooms andconfront pe-ople.

“We weresearching for

mistakes, try-ing to get into

rooms, sort of play-ing the bad guy,” he

said. “We found a few er-rors people made, but over-all it was executed well.”

Sloas said while monitor-ing the drill, there were re-ports of doors being left un-locked, people talking andcell phones ringing insidethe locked down rooms.

“That is something we ob-viously don’t want,” Sloassaid.

Sloas said the observersalso found people who in-correctly hid in the rest-rooms, which do not lock.He emphasized the differ-ence between a lockdownand a tornado drill.Restrooms are good for tor-nado shelters.

Sloas also stressed thatpeople in the common ar-eas around campus shouldleave the building immedi-ately rather than search fora place to take shelter.

He said this was impor-tant information to con-sider, especially if an at-tack were to come during aclass change.

“During a class change orbusy time of the day when

many people are wander-ing about, the best option isto leave the building asquickly as possible,” Sloassaid. “We need to clear asmany people as we can.

“We try to give the policedepartment the best casescenario to engage the situ-ation.”

Robertson said holdingsuch a drill stresses theimportance of having a shel-ter plan in place.

“This is something wehave for our own good,” hesaid. “Everything ransmoothly.”

Sloas echoed these senti-ments, and said the drillwas successful and the col-lege was well prepared.

“We learned what weneeded to learn from it,” hesaid. “Now we’ll make im-provements.”

Sloas said the biggest keyto handling an emergencysituation is preparation. Tohelp prepare those on cam-pus, Sloas has been hold-ing a series of training ses-sions.

Two training classes wereheld prior to the drill andapproximately 150 staffmembers attended theseclasses, Sloas said.

He also spoke to morethan 300 employees duringfaculty orientation.

Sloas said for the mostpart, faculty and staff wereeducated on how to handlethe Shelter in Place drill;however, he is still takingquestions.

Sloas is offering two train-ing classes — Safety onCampus and Active Shootertraining — for students and

employees this fall.The Safety on Campus

sessions will cover the safetyinstructions found on theSafety and Security Emer-gency Procedure posters,Sloas said.

He said the Active Shootertraining would focus on howto survive an active shooterscenario.

"We will try to teach peoplehow to react,” he said.

In addition to the trainingsessions, other safety drillsare being planned for thefall semester, at the requestof OCCC President PaulSechrist.

Sloas said the collegeplans to implement a Shel-ter in Place drill once a se-mester and said to expect adrill in late fall, before fi-nals.

Sloas advised students tobecome familiar with thecampus safety procedures.He said the best thing stu-dents can do to ensure theirsafety is to follow directions.

“We have a good plan andgood staff in place,” he said.“[Students] just need to fol-low directions and we willdo everything we can to pro-tect them.”

Student helps enact defribrillator lawBy Matt BishopStaff Writer

Seven minutes may notseem like a lot of time, butwhen it comes to saving alife, it can be the differencebetween life or death forsomeone suffering cardiacarrest.

One tool that can be usedto save lives is the defibril-lator, an electronic deviceused to establish a normalheartbeat .

OCCC EMT studentRodney Johnson success-fully lobbied the state leg-islature to have more de-fibrillators in public places,especially schools.

The Zachary Eckles andLuke Davis Automated Ex-ternal Defibrillators inSchools Act passed thisyear.

This act mandates thatautomated external defib-rillators be made availableat schools if funding isavailable.

This will make defib-rillators available at athleticpractices and competitionsat schools.

During cardiac arrest, ev-ery minute that passes dra-matically decreases one’schance of living, saidKathleen Treanor, whoseson Zachary Eckles diedfrom cardiac arrest duringa soccer practice in 2006.

The dangers of sportingevents brought the issue tolight, Johnson said.

“This will save lives … Thestudent EMTs at OCCC feellike this is one of the mostimportant things we can doto be able to save lives,” hesaid.

Johnson said saving livesis a mission that all EMTstudents at OCCC have.

“The student organiza-tion has been fully involvedin lobbying for getting thebill passed because it’ssomething we believe in.”

Johnson said it was atwo-year process that hadits hardships.

State RepresentativeWallace Collins (D-Norman)started carrying the bill inFebruary 2007.

Politics got in the way of

passing the bill, Collinssaid.

“Rodney made commentson this issue and I had seenon the news from time totime there would be an ath-lete somewhere who woulddie on the field,” Collinssaid.

He said he didn’t thinkanyone would be against itbecause it protects every-one involved with schoolactivities.

“Little did I know it wouldtake two years for the billto pass,” Collins said.

He said leaders such asLance Cargill and ChrisBinge would not allow thebill to be heard through theHouse of Representatives.

Majority floor leader GregPiatt even had the billscheduled to be heard butchanged his mind on thelast day, “due to a personalproblem with me,” Collinssaid.

In February 2008, Luke

Davis, a 12-year-old fromthe small town of Dickson,Okla., collapsed during abasketball game.

There were no defib-rillators at the game so hewas flown to a hospital inDallas, but it was too late.

“I hate that it took so longand something like our ac-cident to get more peopleinvolved and motivated todo things,” said Luke’smother Kristie Davis.

“[Johnson and Collins]have worked very hard ongetting this done and spenta lot of time getting peopleinvolved and aware.”

Both mothers hope hav-ing defibrillators in schoolswill increase knowledgeand awareness of cardiacarrests.

“When you mention car-diac arrest, you think of anolder person,” Treanor said.

“You don’t think of ayounger person but it hap-pens every day.”

State Rep. Wallace Collins, OCCC EMT student Rodney Johnson and Gov. Brad Henry meet after the signing of the ZacharyEckles and Luke Davis Automated Defibrillator in Schools Act on Aug. 20 at the State Capitol. The act mandates that automatedexternal defibrillators be made available at schools if funding is available. This will make defibrillators available at athleticpractices and competitions at schools. The act was prompted by the death of Zachary Eckles who died from cardiac arrestduring soccer practice in 2006..

“This will save lives … The student EMTs atOCCC feel like this is one of the most

important things we can do to be able to savelives. The student organization has been fully

involved in lobbying for getting the bill passedbecause it’s something we believe in.”

—Rodney JohnsonOCCC EMT Student

Johnson said the nextstep for the OCCC StudentEmergency Medical Techni-cian Association is to raisemoney to ensure there aredefibrillators in all second-ary schools in the Okla-homa City area.

“We would like to seefriends of our current stu-dents protected also,”Johnson said.

The student organizationsees it has a responsibility,not only to the profession,but also to the public atlarge, Johnson said.

Defibrillators have been

on campus with the Stu-dent Emergency medicalTechnician Association,and the Safety and Secu-rity office for several years.

Trained personnel are notnecessary for use, Johnsonsaid.

However, OCCC Safetyand Security are trained inusing them.

“Our goal is to do any-thing and everything wecan to save lives,” Johnsonsaid.

“Everyone is doing verywell.”

Ethnicity also was re-flected in the report.

The report showed thatalthough 10 percent of thecollege’s enrollment wasmade up of African-Ameri-cans in 2007, African-Americans comprised only7.4 percent of graduates.

President Paul Sechristsaid he would like to seethat improve.

Regent Ben Brown said

the issue is being lookedinto.

“We are working on find-ing the solution to thisproblem,” Brown said.

“The answer to the lowsuccess rate of African-American graduates haseluded everyone.”

Sechrist said the key tocollege success is clear.

“Students who attendclass regularly and take ad-vantage of the free tutoringin the labs, in general, willreceive higher grades, andare more likely to persist incollege and graduate,” Se-

christ said.Perry agreed, saying as

students increase theireducation, they have achance to receive greaterearnings.

“There is a high cost ofnot attending college,” shesaid.

Perry said those whonever attend college aremuch more likely to expe-rience poverty than thosewho earn an associate de-gree.
