Wth a new semeste just un-
deway a chance fo students to
polsh up on the leadeshp sklls
s avalable. NSU has an actvestudent actvty boad, whch en-
couages students to get nvolved
on campus. To stat the yea off
ght NSU s puttng on a Leade-
shp Boot Camp to gude leades
wth and wthout expeence.
Leadeshp Boot Camp s a
new pogam wth two dffeent
optons fo leadeshp develop-
ment, sad Kathleen Kennedy
decto of campus nvolvement.
Thee s new leadeshp po-
gam and an expeenced leade-shp pogam fo ndvduals who
have patcpated n leadeshp
oles befoe.
The Boot Camps tmng was
no concdent; NAB stategcally
planned the pogam to take
place at the begnnng of the new
semeste. Wth the abundance of
new students now callng NSU
home Kennedy beleves that by
offeng leadeshp pogams and
oppotuntes ealy on n the yea
t wll help students thnk aboutthe pesonal development as
well as the development on cam-
pus. NAB has sponsoed many
othe leadeshp pogams n the
past but Leadeshp Boot Camp
has cetan leanng outcome that
sets t apat fom the othes.
Leanng outcomes fo ths
pogam ae that students would
thnk about mpovng them-
selves, sad Kennedy. We ae
takng the holstc appoach be-
cause all ndvduals ae leades ndffeent pats of the lfe.
NAB povdes students wth
leadeshp all though the school

These days people ae lookng
fo ways to keep moe money n

pessed natual gas may be the
answe.
As to the mpotance of CNG,
i can say that t s vey lkely to
play a majo pat n the countys
enegy futue, sad Jason Nchols
Mayo of Tahlequah. Natual
gas s domestcally and locally
abundant.
CNG emts nealy 90 pecent
less polluton than gasolne and
desel fuels and can cut fuel costs
by about 50 pecent, accodng to
cngnow.com
On Aug. 18 the cty of
Tahlequah opened the st
CNG llng staton. Wth many
mpotant ndvduals pesentCongessman John Sullvan sad
t was a geat day fo the cty, the
state and the county.
The pont of convetng to
CNG s to save money and that
s exactly what Tahlequah plans
to do.
Ths CNG staton wll actu-
ally povde many benets to the
communty, sad Nchols. Fst,
as the cty, the unvesty, and oth-
e oganatons n town tans-
ton to usng CNG vehcles, t wll
lead to cost savngs and moe ef-
cent use of tax dollas. Second,
thee ae also majo economc de-

begnnng and allowed he to
connect wth othe leades.
The tp was a geat oppo-
tunty to meet people that have
leadeshp oles on campus that
i do not necessaly have contact
wth, sad Pocto. it allowed
the colo goup leades and dec-
tos to have some much needed
bondng tme.
Pocto sad that as a decto
team they wanted the colo goup
leades to have a bette unde-
standng of goals, whch they had
set fo camp. We had the tme
n Coloado to eally go n depth
wth them, as fa as the goals fothe camp, sad Pocto.
NAB pdes themselves on all
the oganatons they offe to
students.
NSU offes a lot of leadeshp
oppotuntes as well as classes on
leadeshp, sad Pocto. Most
of these oganatons ae student
lead, theefoe the students have
moe oom to gow and matue
as a leade.
As a peson who has taken full
advantage of the leadeshp that
NSU has to offe Pocto offes
some advce fo new and cuent
unvesty students.
The advse i gve to new and
cuent students would be to tyeveythng, attend events, attend
meetngs, voluntee fo anythng
and eveythng, un fo ofces,
get nvolved n some way. sad
Pocto. Once you have a taste
of what all thee s to do nd out

CNG. Tm Foutch, Vce Pesdent
of Opeatons at NSU, s lookng
at busses that un on CNG that
could povde a shuttle sevce
fom Tahlequah to the Boken
Aow and Muskogee campuses
fo faculty, staff and students.
Thee s cuently a pendng
natual gas act that, f passed,
would ncease ncentves to natu-
al gas vehcles. Whch would begood news to Oklahoma, whch s
the thd lagest natual gas po-

Oklahoma eseves make a
majo contbuton to the naton-

age, sad Nchols. it s elatvely
nexpensve as compaed to gaso-
lne and desel fuel, t buns clean-
e, and, n many ways, s safe to
use than those fuels.
CNG sounds deamy but not
eveybody needs to ush out and
get a CNG conveted vehcle, at
least not ght away. CNG com-
patble vehcles cost a lttle moe
because the technology s newand llng statons ae had to
nd beng housed by only nne
states.
rght now, CNG vehcles
have lmted ange compaed to
gas fueled vehcles. Compessed
natual gas vehcles ae pefect fo
shote tps, but mght pove n-
convenent on longe jouneys,
sad Nchols. Also, untl thee ae
moe publcly avalable fuelng lo-
catons, thee aent many places
to fuel up a vehcle unnng CNG.
But, as technology mpoves and
the nfastuctue s put n place,
CNG has a vey good chance of
beng the fuel that s buned n a
lage poton of vehcles that aeon Amecan oads n the nea
futue.
in 2010 the U.S. spent $24.6
bllon on mpoted ol, accodng
to cngnow.com. Whch s equva-
lent to 364,000 new teaches,
fundng fo hghway epas fo
nealy 7 yeas, o buldng 32.407
new elementay schools.
Because t s a domestcally
souced fuel, we could avod
payng foegn countes to sup-
ply ou ol needs, Nchols sad.
Ths would allow us to keep jobs
and dollas at home and, most
mpotantly, keep money out of
the hands of people who mght

Disruptive students annoy their classmates
todd crowTNE WriTEr
Afte just a week of classes,
some of my fellow students have
mpacted me n such damatc
fashon that t was mpossble fo
me not to change the pemse of
ths weeks column fom my og-
nal dea. Now im sue most, f
not all of you know the students
im gong to be talkng about, be-
cause t seems that thee s at least
one o two n evey class, andthey cannot help but to annoy
eveyone else n the oom. They
ae easy to ecogne, but dfcult
to label because they all acheve
the level of annoyance n df-
feent ways. instead of one ove-
all label, im just gong to beak
them down nto fou categoes.
The st of these categoes s
the ove-enthusasts. Fo whateve
odd eason, they ae ncapable
of contanng the exctement n
class. im not sue f ts because
theyve been boed ove the sum-
me beak and the joy of beng
back n school s just bubblng up
nsde of them o f they just gen-
unely geek-out on the subjects
that ae beng taught. Whateve
t s, they could stand to pactce
moe self-contol fo the est of
us who have to suffe though 50
mnutes, 75, even thee hous ofsttng n the same oom as them.
ive got a stoy of my own to
tell about an enthusast i met my
feshman yea. We had met just
befoe classes stated and hung
out a couple of tmes. i was stll
gettng settled nto my dom
oom and needed new beddng
and a few othes thngs, and she
went wth me to pck the stuffout. The ente de to the stoe
she kept pontng thngs out
aound town and tellng me how
exctng they wee. insde the
stoe she kept tellng me how ex-
ctng t was buyng thngs fo ou
dom ooms. Cayng the stuff
to ou ooms she kept tellng me
how excted she was to be stat-
ng classes soon. it was all just a
lttle too much exctement fo mypesonalty, and eventually ou
fendshp dwndled to awkwad
waves as we passed each othe be-
tween classes.
i call the next goup class ana-
lysts. if you have eve watched
any spotng event on televson,
then you pobably head the peo-
ple commentng on all the acton
takng place. That stategy woks
eally well wth spots, but i thnk
ts safe to say that t doesnt t
qute as well nsde the classoom.
Most of the tme the class ana-
lysts make comments to follow
up somethng the nstucto has
sad n attempt to say somethng
funny. All t eally accomplshes,
howeve, s the constant eye-oll-
ng and tated sghs of evey-
one else n the class. Many tmes
that ncludes even the nstucto.
What eally annoys me show they neve let anyone else
n the class speak, sad Dakota
Thompson, Stlwell gad student.
They have to st n the font ow
and they have to answe evey
queston asked. They dont gve
anyone else a chance to shne be-
cause they constantly have to be
head.
i know that eveyone s faml-
a wth the know-t-alls. im not
talkng about the people who ac-
tually do know the answes to n-
stuctos questons and occason-
ally speak up wthout beng called
upon. im talkng about the peo-
ple who thnk they know all the
answes and attempt to answe
evey sngle queston. it doesntstop thee, though. They wll
also pont out to the nstucto
what he s dong wong, whethe
ts wth the subject mateal, the
compute equpment, o even the
clothes he s weang. Some stu-
dents thnk the know-t-alls just
suffe fom lmted educatons be-
foe they ente college.
Often ts the less educated
people who ae the st to ds-
agee and speak up aganst any-
thng theye not famla wth,
sad Donovan Schnede, Okla-
homa Cty juno. The moe you
know and dffeent pespectves
you have, the moe open-mnded
you wll be about subjects. To be
honest, i just one them out.
The last goup s the stoy tell-
es. These ae the students that
have pesonal stoes that elateto nealy eveythng that comes
up dung class, and they do not
hestate to bng class to a com-
plete stop so that we can all hea
about t. Most of you mght auto-
matcally thnk of non-tadtonal
students when you ead ths. Al-
though they do make up a majo
poton of ths goup, t s cetan-
ly not exclusve to them.
Schnede sad one of the most
annoyng thngs that can happen
s these stoes can get the nstuc-
tos sdetacked, whch sends the
est of the class spalng n a
decton that has nothng to do
wth the class tself.
im ne wth them askng
questons o tellng jokes as long
as t doesnt thow the pofesso n
a dffeent decton, Schnede
sad.Thompson sad thee s one
thng that always comes to he
mnd when these students stat
talkng, and i thnk t does a eally
good job of summng up how a
good poton of the student pop-
ulaton feels.
No one caes, she sad.

Classes have aleady begun fo
the 2011 fall semeste but thee
ae stll plenty of open couses
to enoll n. Fo students who
ae lookng to add anothe cedt
hou to meet that scholashp c-
tea o even add anothe class fo
a degee plan, thee stll mght be
openngs that can be found.Some of those classes aval-
able ae wokshop and weekend
couses. These couses ae just
lke egula week classes, but they
ae held on a Fday o Satuday
and even on both days dependng
on the class. A lst of these openclasses can be found on the NSU
webste unde Schedules and
Open Classes. They ae not clas-
sed n the own lst but they can
be easly found just by lookng at
the begnnng and end dates.
Most of them only last one o two
days.
if money s an ssue, do not
let the cost of these classes be
dscouagng. Weekend classesdo not cost moe. Accodng to
Lndsey Hembee, student suc-
cess specalst fo FYE, a student
s chaged fo a class by the cedt
hou. Snce these classes ae only
one o two cedt hous, they ae
not as expensve. Speced cedt
hous fo a class can be found by
lookng at the last dgt of that
couse numbe.
These classes ae avalable foall NSU campuses as well. Each
campus has ts own updated lst.
Thee ae classes avalable n
many depatments such as Eng-
lsh, theate, at, communca-
tons and even physcal educaton
along wth many othes. Thee s
a wde ange of classes too. Fo
example, some of these avalable
ae puppety, development of
ealy chldhood, and even self-
defense fo women.
Even though the negatve as-
pect s the fact that the student
wll have to gve up a weekend,
thee ae postve outcomes to
these couses as well.
Most students lke that they
can go n the class and stthough a lectue. Most of the
tme thee aent any tests ethe,
sad Hembee. The classes ae
usually pass o fal. if a student
goes to class and patcpates, they
usually pass.
Some have found that weekend
classes ae actually qute conve-
nent too. A student can eceve
one o two cedt hous just by go-
ng to class fo a weekend o evenjust a nght.
i lke that i got cedt fo one
o two days of wok, sad Cas
Dowdy, Checotah juno. i
ddnt lke takng tme out of my
weekend but ts good fo cedt.
id do t agan and ive aleady
been to thee of them.
Othes even feel that weekend
classes ae moe elaxng o lad
back whch can help make t lessstessful fo students.
i was most happy wth the
elaxed atmosphee and smalle
classes, sad Cala Hateld,
Tahlequah gaduate.
Smalle classes can make t
ease fo students to meet new
people and t can also help wth
student-teache nteacton. Usu-
ally, students ae able to lean
bette n a class they feel moe
comfotable n and fo some t
can even help them become moe
nvolved because they lean about
new thngs fom new people.
Fo anyone nteested n en-

NSU soccer teams look to leadership for upcoming seasonsJasmiNe wrightTNE WriTEr
NSU fans keep a lookout fo
the mens and womens socce
team ths upcomng season. New
ecuts, ncludng some Dvson i
playes, and a new coachng staff
fo the mens team have bought
a new atttude about the game.
Ths s pobably the most tal-
ented team weve eve had n
the hstoy of ou pogam,sad Chase Wooten, head coach
of the NSU womens socce
team. ive got some condence
that ths s a petty salty goup.
The NSU womens socce team
fell shot last yea nshng just
one spot out of the confeence
tounament. Oveall they n-
shed 7-6-5. They ae lookng to
tun up the heat ths new season.
Ou bg pctue goal s that
we would lke to get n to thatlage bd to the natonal tou-
nament, sad Coach Wooten.
Talent wse ts thee, ts just
now a matte can we put t all
togethe and play at that level.
The womens socce team has a
lot of depth ths yea wth theuppe classmen. They have seven
senos and two of them ae cap-
tans. Wth the amount of leade-
shp on the team ths season, they
have the potental to go vey fa.
My pesonal goal fo ths sea-
son s to do whateve i can do
to help the team move fowad,
sad Melssa Mchelsen, seno
and captan of the NSU wom-
ens socce team. Beng a se-no, ths s my last yea, we only
have 18 games n egula season
play, and fo me that s too shot.
i have been playng ths game
compettvely snce i was 6-yeas-
old and i want to pogess to
postseason play so i can extend
my last yea of compettve soc-
ce caee as long as t can go.
The NSU mens socce po-
gam s lookng to tun thngs
aound as well. The seach fowns n the past seasons has been
a constant stuggle, but ths s a
new yea and a tme fo change.
i would lke ou guys to play
consstent, team oented defense
and be vey quck and agges-
sve n tanston to attack, sadrob Clonka, head coach of the
NSU mens socce team. That
s ou geneal goal, we ae look-
ng fo a wnnng season. NSU
[mens socce] hasnt had a wn-
nng season snce about 2004,
so we ae lookng to beak that
and get double dgts wns.
Mens socce nshed the sea-
son oveall 7-10-0. They have
fou senos ths yea and alage feshman class. The team
s countng on those fou se-
nos to play the best and lead
them n the ght decton.
i thnk we ae gong to do
good ths yea, dentely wn
moe games than last yea,
sad Mchael Wlson, seno
and captan of the NSU mens
socce team. [We ae] push-
ng fo a egonal ttle and look-
ng fo natonals but we have toevaluate ouselves as a team.
The NSU mens socce team wll

Sept. 9 vesus Fot Hayes. Not only
wll t be the home opene but

vesay of the pogam beng the
