Passport Program Embraces Cultural Diversity
By Praveena Jackson Multimedia Editor
The Global and Cultural Learning Program is an approach to engaging and communicating with various groups of people to obtain a deeper knowledge of cultural diversity.
“We
started thinking about how not everyone can travel overseas and have the money to go to Europe all the time. Then we came up with the Passport Program because we wanted students to still experience culture without actually having to get a passport, we just wanted them to think about it.”
-Professor Lori Morrow
The main objectives of this program are to help students recognize that many individuals view the same issues and events from different viewpoints, and grasp varied and global perspectives and values. Other than that, students learn to identify the universal characteristics shared by everyone and to view the world from a variety of viewpoints.

Cybersecurity Bachelor’s Degree Expected to Begin January 2024
By Nathan Lowman Assignment Editor
With cyber threats becoming ever more prevalent, cybersecurity jobs are opening up all across the country, especially in and around military bases. It’s no wonder that students are lining up to take cybersecurity classes at Rose State, which is less than 10 minutes away from Tinker Air Force Base.
“If you were in my program, you could get a job before you even get your degree. Tinker and Dell came begging for people,” said Professor Ken Dewey, director of the cybersecurity program.
These jobs are highpaying, as well, with Dewey later adding, “pay starts off around $43,000 to $44,000 on day one with no experience, and gets up to $70,000 by year two.”
Many of these students and workers are now

realizing the benefits of continuing their education beyond an associate degree, with many higher paying positions and leadership opportunities being offered only to those holding a four or even six-year degree. In response to this, Dewey and other administrators at Rose State decided to develop a bachelor’s program that adds an additional 64 credit hours to the pre-existing associate degree.
New requirements, including more prerequisites and a fourcredit hour internship.
This will not be just any traditional four-year bachelor’s program though, Dewey plans to make this a fast-track program that will take under two-years.

The Nursing program at Rose State varies from hands on, textbook and in the field training. A portion of the funding is set to enhance this for students by updating facilities and equipment.

Associate Dean of Health and Sciences, at Rose State, is excited for the future of the Nursing program and all the expansions they will be doing.

Tulsa is good news.”
Previously, the only public institutions offering a bachelor’s in cybersecurity were OSU, NSU and Cameron University. In addition, Tulsa and OSU-IT offer postgraduate programs. Now cybersecurity students can stay in the metro without breaking the bank.

“Some people are worried and not sure how the program will be legit,” Skinner said.
Housing the program itself will not be without some drama, as well. The Tanenbaum Center, which was previously known as the Professional Training and Education Center is being converted to the cybersecurity building thanks to a $1.3 million grant from the Tannenbaum family.
“We should be ready for a grand opening on Dec. 1,” Dewey said. Still, work needs to be done, namely on the stairs and getting computers installed, with Dewey added, “the problem is you can’t use it because they’re still working on the stairwells.”
Even with the critics and logistical issues, the future of the cybersecurity program and Rose State as a whole looks bright going forward.

Hole-in-One! Rose State Golf Club Tees Off This Year
By Dakota Schick Assistant Editor
The Golf Club was founded in the fall of 2023 by President Asa Graham Chambers. It was created for people that play golf or who are interested in becoming more involved in golf. Golf Club is a place where beginners can play and learn about golf, or for those that play golf already, it is a place for them to surround themselves with other
golf enthusiasts. “I thought that more people need golf in their lives because of how cool the game actually is,” Chambers said.
The Golf Club has big plans that will involve tournaments in the spring of 2024. These tournaments will consist of team and individual matches. With funding provided by Rose State and through fundraisers, they hope to raise enough money to gain the ability to play
in these tournaments.
However, Golf Club does not want to have its members feel pressured to play in tournaments.
“I don’t want people to feel like they have to go to tournaments if they don’t feel comfortable,” Chambers said. “They can still be a part of the club and enjoy golf.”
The group plans to start hosting meetings at the Hidden Creek Golf Course in Midwest City. Rose State Golf Club Members will pay a $5
green fee to play nine holes. Those interested can contact Chambers at (405) 535-5637 or asa. graham.chambers@ gmail.com.
“We are excited about golf club and taking as many members that want to join,” Chambers said. “No matter where you come from, what you look like this club is for both guys and girls that are looking to enjoy the outdoors and play the best game ever created.”

OPINION
The Appalling State of The Presidential Debates
By Peter Monden Editor-in-Chief
I don’t like to disclose my political leanings, but it’s necessary context for what I have to say. I’m a registered Republican, though I consider myself Independent. I generally side right of center; I also hold many values that would be considered liberal and Libertarian. My political stances are on an issue-to-issue basis.
I won’t be addressing policies because I don’t have anything to add to that discussion. This is important to acknowledge because I think the Republican Party is on a really bad path right now. Witnessing the debates and the state of the Republican Party has been a shameful mess on virtually every level, and I’d be doing myself a disservice not to call it out.
I’ve been following the Republican presidential debates over the last few months, mostly thanks to Dr. Emily Stacey who is the Political Science Coordinator here at Rose State. She has been hosting watch parties for the Republican debates this semester, and they’ve been a lot of fun. My complaints with the debates center around the fact that they’re the primary source; they should take care in how they present themselves.
Dr. Stacey’s watch parties serve as a gateway into becoming more politically conscious while providing activities that are relevant. It’s also a chance to meet other people and have a little clean fun (as clean as politics get at least). There will be another debate on Nov. 8, but due to the Oklahoma Political Science Association conference starting the next day, Dr. Stacey will not be holding a watch party. Look for more in the spring as we move closer to Super Tuesday, scheduled for March 5, 2024. With that out of the way, I can continue.
Typically, I’m not a very political person, my
observation has been that politics are overly divisive, and low level political discourse is usually a detriment to all involved. The presidential debates have always made me uncomfortable, and I’ve finally been able to put a finger on why. They’re very commercialized and entertainment-driven. I believe all presidential debates should be covered as a public service. There shouldn’t be ad breaks in presidential debate coverage. Hosting and broadcasting these events isn’t free, but there’s got to be a better way. I usually roll my eyes when people spout a laundry list of things the government should pay for, but the presidential debates affect all Americans. Alternatively, political candidates could be required to donate a percentage of their campaign funds to cover the cost of the event and broadcasting, provided the amount funded has no bearing on how the candidate is treated.
Something else that really bothered me about the Republican debates was the disgraceful manufactured drama incited by the event holders. I think the highest burden of fairness, responsibility and professionalism falls onto the event holders.
I witnessed Dana Perino on live television have the audacity to incite a reality-TV level of drama among the candidates. She asked them to pick one of their opponents on stage that they’d most like removed from the running. Fortunately, the majority of the candidates refused and prevented the question from being answered. Chris Christie did answer stating that he chose former President Donald Trump as his pick to be removed from the race. In the process, he made a good point that the former president was doing a disservice to his base by not being there. There was also a
squabble over Vivek Ramaswamy using TikTok to promote himself. Because according to Republican politicians, TikTok is the biggest danger to our country since blacktar heroin. Meanwhile, Fox ran at least three TikTok ads during the commercial breaks.
I find it deeply troubling that the most outrageous personalities with the least amount of professionalism seem to get the most support from Republicans right now. I hear excuses like “we need a strong leader,” but it’s possible to be strong without stooping to the point of belittling your opponents and detractors. The second debate reeked of desperation. There were many points where at least three candidates would talk over each other unintelligibly for upwards of 20 seconds.
The Republican Party was barely able to win the election in 2016, so now they seem to think the same strategy is going to work again. It was a fluke, Trump only won because he got the majority of electoral votes. He certainly hasn’t done anything to improve his reputation since. I think Mike Pence has
hands down the most professional conduct of any of the Republican candidates, but I often hear people imply he’s weak.
Pence strikes me as the type of person who’s quiet but firm in his beliefs. When people describe him as weak I have to ask, what ever happened to “Speak softly and carry a big stick?” I’ve also heard people complain that he doesn’t talk fast, as if that means anything significant. Pence’s weakest performance at the debates was his latest one, but he still came across the most suited to the position of president out of the group. I think most of the Republicans who take issue with him do so because he handled his position responsibly and did not overstep his authority when the former president asked him to. Unfortunately, integrity in the face of Donald Trump seems to mean career suicide in the Republican Party.
Some names I keep hearing thrown around in Republican circles are Vivek Ramaswamy, Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. To start off, I’ve seen fish desperate to preserve their lives flip-flop less than Vivek Ramaswamy
between the first and second debate. He went from being proud of his ignorance and claiming his opponents were “bought and paid for” to saying he’d seek advice from people more knowledgeable than him no matter their age and that his opponents were “good people” and the real divide is not within the Republican Party. Some might optimistically see that as growth. Even if it is, it’s the kind of growth that I’d hope to see in a 15-year-old, not someone who’s 38.
DeSantis is like a diet Trump, not as quite abrasive in mannerism and with fewer embarrassing scandals. He doesn’t strike me as the kind of person I’d want leading the country. Nikki Haley tends to come across like she’s got a chip on her shoulder. Of these three, from what I’ve seen, Nikki Haley is probably the best candidate.
Frustratingly, there’s a chance that we’ll have another Trump vs. Biden election. The fact that the two most likely candidates are not debating with their peers when most people probably prefer others for their respective party is insane. I honestly believe both of them are unfit to be president. Trump is guilty
of gross negligence at best or criminal conspiracy and attempted insurrection at worst. I’ve seen President Joe Biden stumble over sentences and seem to forget what he’s saying on live coverage.
To wrap this up, I think that if the Republican Party continues to back Trump or someone like him, they deserve to lose the election. If they can’t adapt, they will continue to suffer the consequences. Unfortunately, so will everyone else. It’s time to de-escalate politics, that doesn’t mean weak leaders, it means responsible leaders. It means accepting that your party isn’t going to win every election and behaving like an adult when your politician loses. I can’t just stay quiet and let this happen anymore. It’s reached the point where reasonable people have to start speaking out. If this is a sentiment you share but you tend to stay out of political discussion, now’s the time to make yourself heard. I don’t believe cowardice is a good quality, so I’ll just mention that my Raider email is under my name. I will not respond to anyone, but I’ll read anything that is sent and take it into consideration.

It’s Back to Business at Rose State Theatre
By Jacobey Brossie Sports Editor
The Rose State College Theater Program presented its first performance of the year titled “Noises Off,” based on the iconic 1982 play.
“‘Noises Off’ presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called ‘Nothing’s On.’ Doors slamming, on and offstage intrigue and an errant herring all figure
audience in awe.
“Good! It was the first of two directed by Theatre capstone students,” Theatre Professor Rick Nelson said. “Capstone is a course taken at the end of the program at Rose that gives the student a major project to accomplish during the semester.”
This project was no easy feat for any director.
“Noises Off is probably the most complicated play I can think of considering
type of director. It helped broaden my horizons as a stage manager.”
The next show the Rose State Theatre will present is “Goosebumps, The Musical: Phantom of the Auditorium.”
“The musical, which premiered in 2016 at the Todd Wehr Theater in Milwaukee and Portland’s Newmark Theatre, concerns Brooke and Zeke, who are starring in a mysterious show called

in the plot of this hilarious and classically comic play,” as described on the Rose State College website.
Taking place from Oct. 5-8, this show was unforgettable. The show was held at the Atkinson Theatre. Scenes kept viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the show. High quality stage design also had the
the timing, blocking and the use of seven doors and a window. The cast and crew did a marvelous job making it happen,” Nelson said.
The Stage Manager for the show was Michaela Davis.

‘The Phantom’ and are not frightened by the old legend that the play is cursed. When strange messages start appearing and a masked menace disrupts rehearsals, they begin to wonder if there is a ghost haunting their school, determined to stop the show,” as described on the Rose State Website.
“Goosebumps, The
Musical: Phantom of the Auditorium” will be held at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2-4 and 2 p.m. Nov. 5 at no charge for Rose State students, faculty or staff.
“This is the second show this fall directed by a capstone student. Musicals are always hard but so much fun and exciting to do,” Nelson said.
“A Christmas Carol” will be the last show of the fall 2023 semester.
“A Christmas Carol is a ghost tale about the mean-spirited Ebenezer Scrooge—a businessman who believes charity promotes idleness and the poor should be left to die. In one spirited night after receiving visits from his dead business partner, and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future— Scrooge awakes to the realization he’s been given a second chance to correct his mean and surly disposition toward humanity and Christmas. For all audiences,’’ as described on the Rose State Website.
“‘A Christmas Carol’ is Dec. 9-12 and it features professors Amy Hurst and
Ann Smith, with Atkinson Theatre Technical Director Martin Steger reprising his role as Scrooge,” Nelson said. “The Rose State College Vocal Ensemble is performing in it, as well. It’s a classic story for the whole family.”
Having a bigger show requires having a bigger crew. Rose State Theatre is taking volunteers to help for the upcoming shows.
“There are deck crew
positions open and costume crew available,” Davis said.
“You don’t have to be a Theatre major to participate,” Nelson said. “If you have some free time in the evenings then you could audition as an actor or volunteer as a crew member.”

Bannerlord; A bad game that is too good to not play
By Sean Penn* Reporter
“Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord” was a game I wanted to review a couple of months ago, but I could not simply for the fact that I had only played around an hour (OverWatch 2 is bad enough to be reviewed in only an hour). But when I was digging through my library of games, I suddenly realized how much time I spent in it since I had that initial idea. So, I pulled it out and checked. I have spent almost 60 hours on it. I was shocked to find out since I had only played it in July and August of this year.
The best way to describe “Bannerlord” in one sentence is: It does not look pretty, it has many bugs, it has the weirdest gameplay,
but it is unbelievably fun. I cannot stop playing “Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord.” The game consists of the player going around a hub map, which utilizes semi open world gameplay. When the player ventures inside a town or castle it is broken up with a loading screen. These locations are inside a different level than the hub world, which makes it not a fully open world game. Other groups or war parties are able to be seen on the map. These groups are either friendly or hostile. It creates a fun dynamic to see a group of 5,000 warriors come over a hill and know that their sole objective is to destroy your group of 40 villagers. If they catch up with the player a battle scenario starts. The player can choose their
lineup of soldiers and initiate the battle
The battles are mostly won by sheer numbers. But the player is able to upgrade soldiers in their party, which can heavily change the tides of war. The main fight is done through the cavalry,
which runs around and harasses the infantry or goes toe-to-toe with the other enemy cavalry units. This has no right to be as fun as it is. I will spend hours in battles for no reason.
The player can also join factions. But it is annoying
when these factions keep warring with each other. And most of the game is spent defending castles that the player owns.
“Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord” is a weirdly fun game. When I saw it I thought, “Wow, that looks boring. What is the
gameplay?” Sometimes I will be caught up playing for several hours and still think, “What is this gameplay?” This is a game worth experiencing for yourself.
“Bannerlord” is available on PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
