If, as Charles Kingsley says, “all that we need to make
us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about,” we
have the right ingredient at Rose State College to make
many people happy. Certainly, we can be enthusiastic

Former regent Frances Hughes has made substantial
contributions to the Foundation. Recently, she donated
another $1,000, raising her total donation just in the past
two years to $7,000. Former regent William Sharp also
made a generous $500 donation this summer.
Enthusiasm is sparked by many ideas and enterprises:
• Waivers of tuition for faculty and staff and their
dependents, a benefit that was initiated this fall.
• Scholarship dollars raised for our students by the

The high quality of work
by Continuing Education and
Community Services, Stu-
dent Affairs and Business Af-
fairs staff members and all
the areas that support our
outstanding academic pro-
grams are also cause for en-
thusiasm.
Our top-notch regents also
generate enthusiasm. Na-
tional awards continue to
come to regent Betty J.C.
Wright for her own teaching
skills and contributions to
education. And regents’ sup-

Faculty Senate, the Business Division, the Foundation
and other groups. First National Bank’s charity golf tour-
nament raised more than $10,000 for the Foundation last
spring. Foundation members are already planning a sec-
ond golf tournament, as well as a major fund-raiser to
support scholarships, an endowed chair or lectureship and
other building projects.
• Expansion and renovation work on the Student Center
and plans for the new Communications Center and outdoor
performing arts center.
• Continuously upgraded classroom equipment, campus-
wide computerization and plans for a fiberoptics network.
• 40 new members of the Higher Education Alumni
Council, a group that keeps us informed about legislative
actions and keeps the legislature informed about the needs
of higher education institutions.
• Professional development activities for faculty and
staff, such as the second annual Working Women Confer-
ence and appraisal and assessment workshops.
• The ongoing Great Issues Lecture Series and Lunch &
Leaven program.
• Free counseling and other support services for faculty,
staff and students from a clinical psychologist and the
Campus Assistance Program.
• Volunteers for annual events like graduation, Global
Oklahoma festival of cultures, Heart Fair, the faculty
poetry reading, the hanging of the greens and other holiday
events, as well as the academic events like the Social
Studies Bowl and College Bowl.
• Honors for faculty members, such as NISOD.
• Social interaction at campus plays, athletic events
and other campus activities.
No doubt, you could add more to the list. The enthusi-
asm you feel carries over into your work and attitude.
Nothing is more contagious. Enthusiastic students learn
more, retain more and succeed more often. As a new year

and a new term begin, we will need that enthusiasm to
carry us through all the challenges that lie ahead.
February will bring not only the 5-mill building fund
levy election that supports this college, but also a special
state question. If the latter, SQ659, passes, it will elimi-
nate the requirement and cost of voting on the building
fund millage annually.
Successful passage of the question would allow up to 5
mills to be appropriated for a building fund levy without
the necessity of an annual election. Also, a positive vote
for the 5-mill incentive levy would make those 5 mills
continuous without a yearly vote. I sincerely hope every-
one will study the state question and vote in the Feb. 8
election.
We will undoubtedly have fiscal challenges, as all
indications are that the legislature will have a limited
amount of funds to appropriate to state agencies for
FY’95. We currently have 30 percent adjunct faculty, and
we would like to reduce that to 25 percent when we can
afford to do so.
Also, contributions to the state retirement system will
increase every year for several years. RSC has been able
to fully fund retirement benefits in the past, and we hope
to be able to continue to do so. We need more classroom
space. When building funds become available, Health
Sciences classrooms are a major priority.
Another challenge will be to continue refining the
curriculum by aggressively examining all our programs
to make sure we have right ones to suit the needs of our
students.
Perhaps the greatest ongoing challenge is to con-
stantly recharge ourselves, to remind ourselves why we
are here and what we love about our work, rather than
falling prey to apathy or cynicism. If we keep the fire of
enthusiasm kindled, the torch of learning will continue
burning very brightly at Rose State College.
