Ceremonial opening to establish city partnership By Roy Howe Guest Writer Oklahoma City's first downtown classes for credit and non-credit college courses began Jan. 15, with administrators now looking toward the summer schedule. To celebrate its inaugural class and all those to follow, a grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony will be held from 8:30-10 a.m.Feb. 23 at the classrooms' downtown site. Located on the fifth floor of the First National Center, 120 N. Robinson, the downtown classes feature instruction from five higher education institutes to better serve the downtown public. The Greater Oklahoma City
Higher Education Consortium includes The University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Community College, Oklahoma State University OKC, Redlands Community College and Rose State College—all working together to allow people who work or live in the downtown area a chance to pursue a higher education degree close to their homes and jobs. Classes have been arranged to accommodate the schedules of downtown employees as well; morning, lunchtime and afterwork classes are being taught. The ceremony's ribboncutters will be the first student to enroll at the downtown site, Lea Ingraham; presidents from the five institutions involved; Hans
Brisch, State Regents for Higher Education chancellor; and the head of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, Charles VanRysselberge. City officials, college dignitaries, downtown business leaders and students also have been invited to attend.

Dot Blythe, consortium onsite administrator, said current classes are moving along smoothly. "Students just love it,

especially when it comes to getting their books," she said. "They don't have to fight the crowds at the bookstores, because I go for them. They love the location, also, so it works out very well." Blythe said the consortium is gearing up for summer classes, which begin June 3. "We're offering four freshmen/sophomore credit classes this summer and two junior/senior level credit courses.
All summer credit classes will be offered during the lunch hour." The consortium is offering about 20 non-credit classes this summer, also, Blythe said. Students already admitted to one of the five institutions can enroll in a downtown class by fax and counselors will be available to assist new students in May.
