October 5 CONCHO Redlands officially hasan annual budget, afterstate regents last weekapproved a revision com-pleted by the El Renocommunity college.Redlands CommunityCollege Acting PresidentJack Bryant said lastweek he was informedOklahoma State Regentsfor Higher Educationapproved the revised$10.638 million 2013-2014
fiscal year budget. Themove came after Bryantand Redlands RegentLynda McColl presentedthe college’s financialplan to state officials,McColl said.“They gave Jack astanding ovation afterhis presentation,”McColl said. “It was verydifferent from when I’vebeen there before.”Regents told BryantRedlands was the firstcollege they’d seen tomake “such a drasticturnaround in such ashort time.” Seventydays ago, Redlands facedmore than $1.2 million
in unpaid, past-due debt.As of Sept. 4, 70 percentof those delinquent obli-gations had been paid,Bryant said.
“As of Aug. 13, whenwe submitted thebudget, we had paid 64percent,” Bryant said.That didn’t mean thecollege didn’t still faceissues, officials said. Acontinuing analysis ofexpenditures and re-venues would continue,and collection attemptsof about $1.9 million inunpaid tuition and fees— going back morethan 10 years — wouldcontinue, Bryant said.Jena Marr, Redlandsvice president offinance, told regentsduring their Sept. 5meeting she was work-
ing with a newcollection firm to try torecoup the old fees, aswell as implementinga new program to proac-tively stay on top of un-paid student obligations.“We are sendingsummer’s unpaidobligations to thecollection company inOctober,” she said.Redlands’ revisedbudget includes a 75percent collection figurefor this year’s tuitionand fees, Marr said. Thatcompares to a 90 percentsum incorporated inthe college’s 2012-2013estimate.
“That’s one reason wewere failing,” Bryantsaid recently. “Seventy-five percent is a conser-vative estimate; therewasn’t even any realattempt to collect so a 90percent rate was beyondunreasonable.”The new firm hasalready benefited thecollege in recoupingrevenue, Marr said. Thefirm previously retainedby Redlands “for years”charged 23 percent forits services, while thecollege’s new fee is 16percent, she said.Classified, 6BSports, 1BFriday forecast

Lorie Stauffer’s cross-
country move was off to
a rough start when the
“online movers” she had
hired to haul her stuff
from Pennsylvania to
her new home in New
Mexico failed to show
up. Little did she know
things would get worse.
“I was forced to drive
a 26-foot U-Haul with a
car dolly,” said Stauffer,
via email. The trip was
somewhat uneventful
until she reached El
Reno.“On the night of Aug.
19, I stopped in El Reno
at the pet-friendly Motel
6,” said Stauffer. “My
little Lhasa-poo dog,
Tuppence, was out of
food, so I put her in
the air-conditioned car
while I walked to
Walgreens.”
When Stauffer
returned to her vehicle
she found the hatch had
been opened and her
little dog missing.
“It took me over a
week to realize that
items had been stolen
and Tuppence probably
chased the miscreant,”
Stauffer said.
Stauffer said she was
devastated. She had
moved on to New Mexico
and had all but given up
hope of being reunited
with Tuppence. Her
beloved pet had been
missing for nine days
But then her phone
rang.Stauffer said Don and
Michelle Ahern had
spotted her “bashful”
dog near their house, in
the Wessex area, for
several evenings. They
devised what she said
was “an ingenious plan”
to catch her.
“It worked, and I
immediately left my new
home in New Mexico to
reclaim my pet.”
Stauffer said Don
Ahern had seen a poster
of Tuppence in the
office of El Reno
veterinarian Dr. Dorrie
Parrott.

The number of
students attending
Redlands during the fall
semester has risen,
although the dynamics
of that number are
complex.Bill Baker, vice
president of academics
at Redlands Community
College, told regents dur-
ing their Sept. 5 meeting
the student “head count”
has risen 16 percent over
the fall 2012 semester.
“We have 2,909
students registered as of
right now,” Baker said.
“We’ve also got 40
students with enroll-
ments that need work,
and they’re not included
in the numbers.
FTE — full-time
equivalent — hours
remained flat, as the
dynamics of students
attending the college
changed, Baker said.
Full-time students at-
tending the community
college dipped 14 percent,
while those attending
part time represented a
34 percent attendance
hike. That was a re-
flection of the local
economy, Baker said.
“When jobs are
plentiful you don’t quit
school but you do cut
back,” he said.
The largest jump in
enrollment was made up
of first-time freshmen
who never attended
college, Baker said. Rep-
resenting a 156 percent
increase, 922 students
walked through their
first college doors at
Redlands this fall, the
vice president said.
Concurrent enrollment
also saw a small 8 per-
cent spike, Baker said.
Through that program,
high school students can
attend college and earn
credits at no cost. That
helps their families
economically as well as
gives them a head start
when they finish high
school, he said.
“Just imagine if you
got to college and you
have the basic courses
finished — you’d be
miles ahead,” Baker said.
This fall, Redlands has
847 concurrent enrollees,
he said.A fairly new program

Lorie Stauffer’s cross-
country move was off to
a rough start when the
“online movers” she had
hired to haul her stuff
from Pennsylvania to
her new home in New
Mexico failed to show
up. Little did she know
things would get worse.
“I was forced to drive
a 26-foot U-Haul with a
car dolly,” said Stauffer,
via email. The trip was
somewhat uneventful
until she reached El
Reno.“On the night of Aug.
19, I stopped in El Reno
at the pet-friendly Motel
6,” said Stauffer. “My
little Lhasa-poo dog,
Tuppence, was out of
food, so I put her in
the air-conditioned car
while I walked to
Walgreens.”
When Stauffer
returned to her vehicle
she found the hatch had
been opened and her
little dog missing.
“It took me over a
week to realize that
items had been stolen
and Tuppence probably
chased the miscreant,”
Stauffer said.
Stauffer said she was
devastated. She had
moved on to New Mexico
and had all but given up
hope of being reunited
with Tuppence. Her
beloved pet had been
missing for nine days
But then her phone
rang.Stauffer said Don and
Michelle Ahern had
spotted her “bashful”
dog near their house, in
the Wessex area, for
several evenings. They
devised what she said
was “an ingenious plan”
to catch her.
“It worked, and I
immediately left my new
home in New Mexico to
reclaim my pet.”
Stauffer said Don
Ahern had seen a poster
of Tuppence in the
office of El Reno
veterinarian Dr. Dorrie
Parrott.

ing with a newcollection firm to try torecoup the old fees, aswell as implementinga new program to proac-tively stay on top of un-paid student obligations.“We are sendingsummer’s unpaidobligations to thecollection company inOctober,” she said.Redlands’ revisedbudget includes a 75percent collection figurefor this year’s tuitionand fees, Marr said. Thatcompares to a 90 percentsum incorporated inthe college’s 2012-2013estimate.
“That’s one reason wewere failing,” Bryantsaid recently. “Seventy-five percent is a conser-vative estimate; therewasn’t even any realattempt to collect so a 90percent rate was beyondunreasonable.”The new firm hasalready benefited thecollege in recoupingrevenue, Marr said.

Lorie Stauffer’s cross-
country move was off to
a rough start when the
“online movers” she had
hired to haul her stuff
from Pennsylvania to
her new home in New
Mexico failed to show
up. Little did she know
things would get worse.
“I was forced to drive
a 26-foot U-Haul with a
car dolly,” said Stauffer,
via email. The trip was
somewhat uneventful
until she reached El
Reno.“On the night of Aug.
19, I stopped in El Reno
at the pet-friendly Motel
6,” said Stauffer. “My
little Lhasa-poo dog,
Tuppence, was out of
food, so I put her in
the air-conditioned car
while I walked to
Walgreens.”
When Stauffer
returned to her vehicle
she found the hatch had
been opened and her
little dog missing.
“It took me over a
week to realize that
items had been stolen
and Tuppence probably
chased the miscreant,”
Stauffer said.
Stauffer said she was
devastated. She had
moved on to New Mexico
and had all but given up
hope of being reunited
with Tuppence. Her
beloved pet had been
missing for nine days
But then her phone
rang.Stauffer said Don and
Michelle Ahern had
spotted her “bashful”
dog near their house, in
the Wessex area, for
several evenings. They
devised what she said
was “an ingenious plan”
to catch her.
“It worked, and I
immediately left my new
home in New Mexico to
reclaim my pet.”
Stauffer said Don
Ahern had seen a poster
of Tuppence in the
office of El Reno
veterinarian Dr. Dorrie
Parrott.

The number of
students attending
Redlands during the fall
semester has risen,
although the dynamics
of that number are
complex.Bill Baker, vice
president of academics
at Redlands Community
College, told regents dur-
ing their Sept. 5 meeting
the student “head count”
has risen 16 percent over
the fall 2012 semester.
“We have 2,909
students registered as of
right now,” Baker said.
“We’ve also got 40
students with enroll-
ments that need work,
and they’re not included
in the numbers.
FTE — full-time
equivalent — hours
remained flat, as the
dynamics of students
attending the college
changed, Baker said.
Full-time students at-
tending the community
college dipped 14 percent,
while those attending
part time represented a
34 percent attendance
hike. That was a re-
flection of the local
economy, Baker said.
“When jobs are
plentiful you don’t quit
school but you do cut
back,” he said.
The largest jump in
enrollment was made up
of first-time freshmen
who never attended
college, Baker said. Rep-
resenting a 156 percent
increase, 922 students
walked through their
first college doors at
Redlands this fall, the
vice president said.
Concurrent enrollment
also saw a small 8 per-
cent spike, Baker said.
Through that program,
high school students can
attend college and earn
credits at no cost. That
helps their families
economically as well as
gives them a head start
when they finish high
school, he said.
“Just imagine if you
got to college and you
have the basic courses
finished — you’d be
miles ahead,” Baker said.
This fall, Redlands has
847 concurrent enrollees,
he said.A fairly new program
