Harris, executive director of the Association was quick and emphatic to make one point. "People are making remarks and complaints about all the money that bas been spent on this remoldeling job. We have not spent one penny ofSSU's mo­ney or money gi~n to RRVHA by the Oklahoma Legislature."

"Neither bas money from personal donations, e:a:cepf a-= bout $290 spent for supplies, been taken for the project. This $200 came from people who could not contribute mer­chandise so they dOnated mo­pey," he added.

All of the Plint, carpet and furniture which was viewed in the offices on the third Door of the Administration building during the open house was do­nated by area merchants in­terested in furthering the As­sociations cause.

Some of these are George Clark, Clark Furnitur~; Don Herron, Herron Tile and_ Car .. pet; Ronald Ridgeway, Durant . -Lumber ComPlJly. Qtbersare: Ernie Brindle, EIC. Tile; Ne­well Furniture andCollierBro­thers Furniture.

As far as the · work done in wtting the offices in or­der is concerned, Dr. Harris says, ''if it. weren't for tbe many loog hours donated by .­faculty and staff, ·the jOb could not lave been done. u

Past Thousand Years '

Is ·Of Importance Mrs. Kate Ball, mu Eng­

Ush instructor, thinks iitany people may bave ,a mistaken ida on an important subject. She bopes, through a religious educatim1 course 1n the fall, to present a more realistic view.

''Many people suppos~ that there was a long period--a thousand years or so--during which tbe Christian church was failing to do its· job," she said. ''I believe if these folks will be fair enough to take a look at tbe record, they will be a little surprised at what they find."

"We really have a great deal of evidence as to what the cJmrch was intending and accomplishing through thatdis­puted period. We see this eVil­deuce in architecture, lo art, and in the Uterature remain­ing to us from tboR times • My course could be called 'A Thousand Years of ReU­gious Tbougbt in England."

Mrs. Ball noted that tbe

course will be a blend of re- I llgious teacblng and Engllsh .I Uterature. "In tbe EngUsb De- ' .-rtment here at mu, ". ·sbe said, "we try to teach · stu­dents to rely heavily on pri­mary sources for their infor­mation, not to take the word of some secondary source., In the same way, in this course, I hope to present the actUal writings of Christians who IIYed in Erurland in 731 A.D., lo .1200 A.D., in 1400 A.D. In this . way, every student can see for himself what was the qual­ity of Christianity in tbose daJ S, and then form his own opin-ion." . ·

• . The course, which will be

sponsored by the Wesley Foun­dation, will begin with extracts from tbe Venerabl Bede~ History of tbe English Church and Nation(wbichdatesfrom ~ 8th century), tben proceed chronologically up through the years, and end with extracts from Jolm Bunyans• flmout Pilgrim's Progress.

After being in I tbe devel­opment stage for k>me time, tbe Red River V~~y Histori­cal Association · come dnto

within the · last year. Tbe first issue df the Asso­

ciation's ''Histori~l Review" was pubijsbed recehtly setting the operatloo into !full swing.

Concerning the Review, Dr. Charles Harris, e.cutive di­rector of the Ass09Jation said, ••southeastern las 1 the finest historical publication in there­gion and perhaps in Midwest. No university of ZO 0,000 stu­dents bas anytbing this type.

Other Ulan be~ simply a I

publication of proferriooal bls-torJans, ttiere is a section set aside for the Jay me bers. Tbls sectioo allows any to write of reminiseuces, rtioos of diaries or bappe within their tamllles·. Thif opens the way for eontrlbuti~ by people who might uot be r , cbed ot!Jer­wise.

Another major project being conducted by the ~VHA is an oral history pro~t. Students are going tbrougbolat tbe state collecting oral inf tion frOID people who Uved blstory 01 tbls area. Tbe ~ rmation is then compiled at tbe Asso­ciatioos' beadquarters, wbicb is tbe Social Seie~ Desart­ment at SSU. Tbe Dfterial will be used in the Re~~w as well as being placed on udio-visual

. machines or to used in a ·master program history.

Students collect and com­piling tbe informatiQD ue being ptid from the $15,000 allocated to the Association by the state legislature this y~r. At the same time these s~dents are, sometimes, able to ~eeive cre­dit hours in history

Last Week a 10b1 chapter of tbe RRVHA ~ orpnized in Love -~ty. T~ Associa­tioo · is lD the process of organizing area ctJapters in Marshall and Br~n counties as well. I · The purpose of the local

chapters is to recruit new mem-I

bers for the Associi.tion aDd to seek out collecti of sapers, photos or wiBtevet else might

• be of historical wo tb to place 1n _county museums. j ·

Branch museums will be established by tbe Association in each county so that the peo­ple of the areas can appre­ciate tbe fact tbat their fore­fathers bad some put in tbe settlement of the area. These displays will be guaranteed to

' remain in perpetuity. Dr. Harris is calling on the

people of the area to come for­ward, saying, "Weare not want­ing to take the artifacts out of tbe area. People are afraid of an outside organization, but we want tbe people to know that whatever tbey donate will re­main in tbeir own county." The thought bebind the program is to preserve the local heri­tage of people to appreciate at the county level.

An added benefit to tbe lo­cal museum concept is the abi­lity to know where articles of historical worth are that tbe Association might borrow from one display for a show in an­other area, then return tbe item to .the orlgiDal museum.

With the oubllcation of the "Revehr" aDd tbe establishment of'\. ~ RRVHA as a pbysical working orpnira tion, tbe group las completed 1n ooe year wiBt many people said could not be done in five. Dr. Harris at­tributed tbe success to some-

tblng taste in tbe psychology of lndividnals. ''Everycme likes to feel that be las roots--a sense of accompllsll:nent aDd U.t b1s life bas been beneficial."

Many young people find an interest in history of tbeareas, even if this interest expresses itself in a nostaJgia craze. "Tbe younger people bave not lived the history, but are interested because of something tbey think was there. These younger peo­ple are anxious to contribute through s tories of their ances­tors. The youth have tbe energy to perform where tbe oldstets do not," Harris said.

One way in which the youth of tbis area are able to tate PLrt in tbe future ·of the Asso­ciatioo is by investing in mem­berships to the RRVHA. A spe­cial membership fee of $7 is allowed for students of &W. Tbose subscribing will not only benefit frOID tbe pride of tbe organtmtion, but also wl1l re­ceive all issues of the Red Ri­ver Valley Historical Review of the year in wblcb they join.
