PONCA CITY — An open house will be
held Saturday to commemorate the fifth an-
niversary of the city's acquisition of the
Marland Mansion.
Ponca City bought the residence of former
Oklahoma Gov. E.W. Marland in late 1975 as
a tourist attraction and conference center
with revenue from a two-penny sales tax ap-
proved by voters and a $750,000 donation
from Conoco Oil Co.

“I didn’t sleep a wink

“The fact that we saw

like to be a part of."

shot," Burkhart said. “Everyone was in a state of
tears and shock."
Monday’s report did not seem to surprise many
students, who believe the legend that presidents
elected in years ending in the number 0 will die in
office, Burkhart said. “They said it was predicted
this was going to,happen."
Burkhart speculated the increasing frequency
of international bloodshed has hardened youths to
acts of violence closer to home. “I don’t think they
realize the seriousness of the situation.”
However, teachers were stunned, he said. "They
kept asking themselves, How can this happen
twice in our lifetime?’ ”
Most students were disheartened or disbeliev-
ing when the news was announced in the class of
Choctaw High teacher Randy Sanders. "They kept
asking what’s wrong that something like this can
happen.”
But Miss Sanders said she was dismayed when
some of her students cheered the shooting. She
added she believed their reaction was motivated
from ignorance, not animosity.

MADILL — Dedication ceremonies were
held Monday afternoon for a city lake built
to ease water shortages that have plagued
this southern Oklahoma town during sum-
mer dry spells for several years.
Hauani Lake, financed through a penny
sales tax increase approved two years ago,
will supplement water supplied Madill by
the municipally owned City and Carter
Lakes. The City Lake capacity has been
drastically curtailed in recent years by a
buildup of silt.
Berry hopes crushed
STILWELL — With Stilwell’s annual
Strawberry Festival only five weeks away,
area growers say they are facing the most
dismal crop outlook in years.
Dean Jackson, Adair County extension di-
rector, said 40 to 90 percent of the unirrigat-
ed acreage had to be replanted due to losses
from last year's prolonged drouth. Jackson
said most of the new plants won't begin sig-
nificant production until next year.
Tribes to gather
TAHLEQUAH — More than 29 tribes will
be represented at Northeastern Oklahoma
State University this week when Indians
from 16 states arrive for the ninth annual
Symposium on the American Indian Thurs-
day and Friday.
The symposium will be followed Saturday
and Sunday by the National Conference on
American Indian Women.
