Enrollment down from last year By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer

CO's spring enrollment has decreased by 5.6 percent in comparison to spring enrollment of 1996, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of enrollment. As of Jan. 10, total spring enrollment was 12,908, versus 13,683 on the same day of last year. A boost in the economy may be one of the reasons enrollment has decreased. Jobs are available and

unemployment is lower than it's been in the past, said Legere. "Enrollment mirrors the economy. When the economy is good and jobs are available, fewer students come to school. When the economy goes down and jobs are scarce, people go back to school," he said. To help combat the enrollment decline, UCO has been advertising on local television stations. A 30-second commercial starring President Nigh ran during the enrollment period until Jan. 10, said Linda Jones, director of communications and

publications. Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of institutional research and planning, said, "Few people realize that occasionally there are classes or workshops that don't start until the middle of the semester which will alter the ultimate number of those enrolled." "In late enrollment, 850 people enrolled during the first week last year," said Legere. This year's late registration will continue through Jan. 17, at which time there will be a more complete status of the total enrollment at UCO.
Fewer students canceled for non-payment fees There is a considerable decrease in the number of students being canceled for non-payment of fees this semester at UCO. As of Jan. 3, a total of 572 students were canceled, in comparison to 1,004 students in spring 1996. This represents a 47 percent reduction in those canceled for non-payment. There are several reasons for the decline in the number of students being canceled, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of enrollment. The payment deadline, Dec. 18, is separate from the cancellation deadline, Jan. 3. The Bursar office notified students who missed the payment deadline, that they could retain their class schedule by paying tuition along with a $10 penalty charge before the cancellation day. More financial-aid students were allowed automatic exemption from cancellation because financial aid is usually awarded. The final reason Legere gave for the decrease was the fact that late registration started immediately after cancellation. ,

0 • • • eturning to campus this semester was difficult. It's my last semester and I'm anxious to apply the things I've learned at UCO in the professional world. But reforestation welcomed me back to school with more than 300 new trees. My heart sank when I saw that the Russian Olive trees on the north side of Broncho Lake were cut down. I asked the construction coordinator why they ripped out the trees. "We've got plans for that area," he said. "That's what everyone has to keep in mind. We've got a plan. Those trees weren't cut down because there's a shortage of plywood." I guess the Russian Olives didn't fit into the plan. Take out trees to plant more trees? Sounded a little ridiculous to me. I called the landscape architect and he offered more of an explanation. "We were looking at the long term." Apparently, Russian Olives only live about 20 years and he estimated these trees were about 12 to 15 years old already. "We had to decide if we wanted to design around something that might not be there much longer, or take them out." Makes sense—long term planning and all. But these trees had weathered the storm. They'd survived hot summers, cold winters and tons of heavy equipment sliding past them, tearing at their roots in June to build Broncho Lake. I liked the Russian Olives, they were fragrant in the summer and green in the winter. They weren't beautiful like the magnolias, but they were a known quantity. Trees aren't the only things changing at UCO. Before long we'll have a new president too. I've heard lots of eager anticipation about the new president. But I'm skeptical. The Russian Olives weren't my favorite tree on campus, but they had a certain appeal. Maybe their replacements will be big strong Oaks providing students with shade for years to come. Maybe they'll be willows, bending with the breeze, but never breaking. I hope I'll like the new trees, But the only thing I know for certain is: they'll be different. A

AAUP adopts six-point legislative program By Joanna Hafey
Staff Writer
T
he Legislature hasn't even started their new session yet, but some professors are already trying to influence the legislative agenda. The Oklahoma State Conference of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has adopted a six-point legislative program for the upcoming session of the Oklahoma State Legislature, said Dr. Thomas Guild, state AAUP president-elect and chairman of the State AAUP Committee R (which is the branch of AAUP that deals with government issues). The first item proposed is an $83 million increase in funding for higher education in the 199798 academic year. "Compared to other states, Oklahoma higher education is still funded at a comparatively
low level," said Guild. The AAUP proposes the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG) program be fully funded. It was funded at 50 percent in the last year, said the committee chairman. This would help moderate and low-income students gain access to the higher education system. AAUP is asking the state legislature and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) to formulate and implement a longterm plan where students at higher education institutions would pay at least one-third of the costs of their own education through tuition within five to 10 years. "Last year UCO students paid 38 percent of their education costs through tuition, which was more than most of the other universities in Oklahoma," said Guild. The State AAUP urged the
Legislature to pass a law authorizing tuition increases to be determined by the OSRHE, said Guild. Currently, tuition increases are determined by the Legislature. The Legislature could delegate this authority to the OSRHE for a period of time, and then renew the power on a
periodic basis. "Since access to higher education and adequate funding go hand-in-hand, the last three proposals should be adopted as a package," he said. The national AAUP is also working to increase student aid. Proposals are currently being

State Regents start think tank to examine concerns By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer
B
etter ideas of what each university needs is the reason the Oklahoma State Regents started a think tank to examine different concerns. The 37-member Citizens' Commission on the Future of Oklahoma Higher Education will be an advisory board to the Oklahoma State Regents and help create a long-range plan for the state's college and university system. "There is a great deal of diversity in the people on the commission, both professionally and geographically," said Bill W. Burgess Jr., chairman of the commission and member of the state regents. "This difference will enable them to express the needs in their areas. "The commission was formed by the state regents for the purpose of aggressively facing the challenges that exist in higher education in the state of Oklahoma." The commission is addressing: •Quality—What can be done to develop incentives and standards to further improve student preparation as well as helping students be qualified to prosper in the changing work environment? •Access—How can access to college be maintained. with limited growth in state government funding, constrained family budgets and shifts in demographics? •Efficiency—What initiatives including incentives for creative management—can be developed

Where are there gaps between goals and •Accountability—What are the performance? system's goals and what measures can be •Funding—How can adequate funding

At the end of 1997 they will draw up a draft of their findings. The commission will invite the public to listen to their ideas and give feedback on the draft before presenting it to the Regents. The commission's last meeting was at UCO Dec. 12 and was an introduction of what they will do. During that meeting the commission saw an overview of enrollment trends and state finances. The 37 members were asked to state three issues they think the Regents should work on and bring their ideas to the January meeting. Commission members asked questions about the demographics of the state colleges and universities, then had an open discussion on developing a work plan. The next meeting will be held at 10 a.m. today at Rose State College and is open to the public.

No. 9 Bronchos sink Midwestern 105-85
T
he Central Oklahoma Bronchos defeated the Midwestern State Indians (Texas) Monday night in a 105-85 contest at home. The ninth-ranked Bronchos were lead offensively by senior Tyrone Hopkins who netted a total of 13 goals and five free throws for a game-high 31 points. "I was proud of how we played," said head coach Jim Seward. "We just came from playing four games in seven days, and we were able to beat the fatigue problem." On the boards, the Bronchos were led by senior Mack Tuck

who had 20 rebounds. "Tuck is only one of four players in school history to have that many in one game," said Seward. Tuck also scored 21 points and blocked two shots in 33 minutes of play. Midwestern forward Clint Foley led the Indians with 20 points. "Brandon Burns came off the bench and really helped us out," said Seward about the sophomore from Cushing. In 15 minutes Burns made two baskets and grabbed seven rebounds. —From staff reports
Lady Bronchos drop fourth straight By Phil Long Staff Writer The UCO Lady Bronchos continued their mid-season slump losing 75-69 at the hands of Midwestern State on Monday evening at Hamilton Field House. The loss was the Lady Bronchos fourth straight, dropping their record to 6-7 overall, and 2-5 in the Lone Star Conference. "Our kids just need to relax and go play they just are trying to hard," said UCO Head Coach John Keely. With the win over UCO, Midwestern State improved to 10-5 overall, and 4-3 in the LSC. Kelly Seikel has steadily improved her play scoring a team co-high 19 points including
seven assists. "It was Kelly's best night ever shooting the ball," said Keely. Courtney Berry also scored 19 points and grabbed 4 rebounds. "Courtney has played well for us all year," said Keely. Christy Heavin also continued her solid play scoring 12 points and pulled down seven rebounds. Midwestern State was led by Denise Pittman who had a double-double with 23 points and 10 boards. Julie Lovett also played well scoring 22 points and eight boards. The game was won in the second half with Midwestern State outscoring, outshooting, and outplaying the Lady Bronchos. UCO who led at the half were outscored 45-36 in the second
half. The Lady Bronchos actually cut the lead to two with 1:33 left in the game but that would be as close as they would get losing by six. "We got tired at the end," said Keely. For the game the Lady Broncs' out shot Midwestern State 45 percent to 38 percent, but Midwestern State shot the ball ten more times than the Lady Bronchos did. Midwestern State out rebounded the Lady Bronchos 39-37. The Lady Bronchos will hit the court again tonight against Texas A&M Commerce in a very important Lone Star Conference tilt. "It will be a tough game with Christy Heavin attempts a jump shot in Monday night's game Commerce now ranked tenth in against Midwestern State. UCO's Lady Bronchos lost 75-69. the region," said Keely. (Staff photo by Meredith Jordan)
Second-ranked Broncho wrestlers win three on the road By Phil Long Staff Writer The second-ranked UCO Wrestling team capped a long road trip with three dual victories including the Southern Illinois University Invitational where four
wrestlers were crowned individual titlists last Saturday at Edwardsville, Illinois. "Any time you go on the road it's tough especially for three straight days," said UCO coach David James whose squad is 4-2 in duals. The four titlists include Keith Kizzar at
118 pounds, Matt Godson at 134 pounds, Ryan Vratil at 142 pounds,and Matt Surber at 158 pounds for the Bronchos. 167 pound Mark Cunningham, 150 pound Jody Marple, and 177 pound Nathan Phillips all finished in third place. The Bronchos with 96.5 points
narrowly edged out Missouri with 95 points while SIU Edwardsville and Wisconsin-Parkside tied for third with 53 points a piece. "Hopefully we can build in this and continue to get better," said coach David James.

UCO professor conducts military seminars in Uganda By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer espect and order might be important elements for success in the classroom, but UCO professor Dr. Siegfried Heit says they are also crucial to a successful democracy. Heit, a colonel in the U.S. Army
Reserve Civil Affairs Branch, recently spent two weeks in the East African city of Kampala, Uganda where he conducted military seminars for the Ugandan People's Defense Force. Heading up a team of four reservists, he instructed more than 70 Ugandan military officers and parliamentarians on the role of the military in a democracy. Lectures concerning respect for
civilian rights, systems of order and limits to military action were designed to help the military learn how to work within the framework of a civilian government, said Heit. "We specialize in teaching military units in governments with newly formed democracies how they should conduct themselves." His unit, the 321st Civil Affairs
Brigade, has performed similar missions in Mozambique, Botswana and Cameroon. Heit said wearing his U.S. Army uniform garnered a certain degree of respect from the Ugandans. The humanities professor added that he often referenced the United States to point out how a country evolves as a democracy.

"Ours wasn't a magic thing," he said, of America's government, "it took 200 years and we had a civil war and other insurrections. "I tell them, 'It's going to take time." Heit said the information is valuable to newly democratic nations because they often want instant success. He added that when success doesn't happen, militaries sometimes believe take-overs are the best way to change leadership. "Our goal is to teach them to use the ballot box instead." According to Heit, the order associated with a democracy goes hand in hand with respect for the political system. He said he is adamant about teaching others the importance of respecting their superiors. "My commander in chief is Bill Clinton," he said, " I follow the orders as they come down whether I like them or not." Heit illustrated this point to the Ugandan group by citing American history. "Some of the veterans that fought with George Washington were upset...they wanted to march on Philadelphia and General Washington said, 'No, I will not lead this because this is wrong. This is a government." He said the recent peaceful election in Uganda might be an indication that U.S. diplomatic teaching missions are effective. Sharing the credit, he added that the United Nations (UN) and
Uganda's "enlightened policy of reconciliation" combined to make the election successful. In addition to conducting the seminars, Heit was responsible for evaluating problems the country might have that would necessitate U.S. military help. Working with the American embassy in Uganda, the team made an "in-country assessment" that contributed to a UN determination. "As a result of our work and the work of other U.S. and UN observers, it was decided we don't have to put in 20,000 troops," Heit said. While much of the professor's time was spent attending to military duties, Heit said he was able to experience some of the local culture of Kampala. Preferring to dine where locals eat rather than at tourist spots, he said the spirit of adventure led him to partake in such delicacies as fried bananas and grilled grasshoppers. As an aficionado of German beers, Heit said he was eager to taste test the local 'Nile' beer, adding he was surprised to find it tasted better than any he'd ever tried. Heit said he believes participating in the local customs of the countries he visits helps him gain the respect of those he teaches. In order to participate in the traditional 9 a.m. Ugandan 'tea time,' the colonel ignored warnings not to drink the water. "It would have been an insult not to

join them," he said. Honors bestowed on Heit at the completion of his Ugandan assignment indicate he not only gained the respect of his foreign constituents but established lasting friendships as well. Ugandan leaders made him an honorary member of one of their regiments and presented him with an official military beret and crest. Ever anxious to share the rewards of his travels with his students and colleagues, Heit made arrangements with a history professor from the Makerere University in Kampala to jointly develop a course in Equatorial/East African humanities for UCO. Heit says he is proud of the way his civilian and military careers compliment each other.
UCO professorDr. Sigfried Heit spent two weeks in Uganda conducting Defense Force seminars. (Staff photos by John Clanton) His military position affords the professor travel opportunities allowing him to interact with educators in other countries. "I look for academic workshops to attend while I'm on military duty," he said. "It gives me a chance to enhance my professional knowledge." Heit, who is also UCO's Fulbright program advisor, said experiencing other cultures gives him a better understanding of how to teach humanities. The humanities knowledge the colonel brings to his military role is of equal importance to Heit. "I try to instill in commanding officers the need to protect cultural assets as well as civilians," he said. "When we destroy history we deprive humanity."

Campus organizations to mark King's birthday By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood; I have a dream... hese words resounded thirtythree years ago in Washington, D.C. when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood in front of the Lincoln Monument before 250,000 people. As people across the United States celebrate King's birthday Jan. 20, UCO's Multicultural Student Services and the Black Student Association join the Oklahoma Tourism Department in presenting video screenings, speakers and a campus march. The purpose of the celebration is "to honor an American hero who gave up his life to ensure that all people were equal and treated fairly," said Barry Lofton, coordinator of Multicultural Student Services. As an African-American preacher and civil rights leader, King used nonviolent tactics like the March on Washington to fight for racial

he cold weather may have students worrying about larger electric bills, but according to J.R. Nida, physician and state health commissioner, they should be just as concerned for their safety. Medical reports show hypothermia kills approximately 25,000 people in the United States each year. During hypothermia, the core body temperature becomes abnormally low from exposure to the cold. Nida said the elderly and infants have the greatest risk for hypothermia. "The elderly can wander away from where they live without dressing properly, also some medications can cause a change in their normal body temperature," he said. "Infants have a larger body surface (in relation to size) and they cool off faster." If someone is not properly dressed they can experience
hypothermia over time in a house with the temperature set between 50 and 60 degrees, Nida warns. Commuting students should take extra precautions, Nida said, by keeping a blanket, some nonperishable food items, and a change of clothing in their cars during the cold temperatures in case of car problems. He suggests not leaving a broken-down car to go for help. "It's a good idea to have a `Need Help' sign to put in your car. "People experiencing car problems can keep their cars running for a short time while waiting for help to arrive, so long as they turn off the engine periodically and open the window a bit to let fresh air circulate." During bitterly cold conditions, hypothermia can start within six to eight hours of exposure to the weather without proper clothing. Symptoms can be the feeling of cold, becoming sleepy,
disoriented, depressed, a loss of energy, confusion and clumsiness. "One thing people should remember is to stay dry. Wet clothes will cause the core body temperature to decrease faster," he said. It is a myth that alcohol can keep you warm. "Alcohol gives the illusion of warmth but it doesn't last long and there is always a chance of becoming disoriented from it." General precautions Nida suggests to avoid being harmed by hypothermia are: • Insulating your home • Wearing warm clothing in several loose layers • Using extra blankets at night and keeping one in your car • Eating nutritious foods and exercising moderately • Getting proper rest • Drinking plenty of liquids The better shape someone is in, along with using good judgment when out in the elements, the less likely they will suffer from hypothermia, he said.
