The Idle American
Norman V. Horner is a retired educator who doesnât really care whether folks call him âDr.â or not. His distinguished career plus his 40 articles in professional journals and his leadership in scholarly organizations suggest that heâs been worthy of his degree for a long time.
A Brown County native, Horner earned A.A., B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, respectively, from Tarleton State (then Junior) College, two from the former University of North Texas and his doctorate from Oklahoma State University.
Most of us would need help to pronounce much less understand all the multi-syllabic words employed by this distinguished educator. He rose from the role of instructor to Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics during his tenure at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls (1971-2006). Mild-mannered and Christ-centered, he is at once humble, modest, agreeable and engaging, even chuckling when folks refer to him as âthe spider man.â

TTU System âplaying defenseâ in Austin as state agencies try to avoid budget cuts
Legislative priorities for TTU System By Blair Sabol | January 13, 2021 at 10:52 PM CST - Updated January 14 at 2:41 AM
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Now that the state legislature is back in session, the Texas Tech University System is working to ensure its top priorities are met in Austin.
In 2019, both the veterinary school up in Amarillo and the dental school in El Paso were given the green light with state funding.
But this year Chancellor Tedd Mitchell says they are âplaying defenseâ on the legislative floor.
âWe want to make sure that they understand that weâre being good stewards of the peopleâs money, and not by coming down there and asking for heaven and earth when weâre sending in our budget,â Dr. Mitchell said.
