The Student Voice Since 1903
And the King's saints go marching in... By Judy Simpson Staff Writer UCO's Multicultural Student Services' and the Black Student Association sponsored a day in the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Jan. 15 on the UCO campus. Tables in the University Center and the Administration Building were covered with buttons, pamphlets and T-shirts commemorating Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. At each table a documentary film was shown about the life and times of King. At 2 p.m. a reception was held in the Will Rogers Suite of the University Center. The keynote speaker, Dr. George Henderson, chairperson
of the Department of Human Relations at the University of Oklahoma, spoke about the importance of King's message and the responsibility of each generation to carry on his work. He said that everyone is affected by racism and King's message is not just for minorities. "There are no pure races, so let's help our relatives. We're all related," said Henderson. Presidents from various student organizations were also present and gave speeches in praise of King's contributions. Victor Armstrong, represented the Hispanic American Student Association. He said he was surprised to find that King's message is valuable to all people, not just African
Americans. "All of us have gained privileges from what Dr. Martin Luther King believed," he said. Jo Jo Takyi-Micah from the African Student Association talked about the struggles of the people in southwestern Africa and described King as the "black star" which is signified in the center of his country's flag. "That star stands up and shines for the nation of Africa to follow. Dr. King is such a star," said Takyi-Micah. The speeches were complemented with spiritual songs sung by UCO alumna Kim Jackson and Mr. UCO, Joacquin Stevens. Following the speeches, UCO alumna Kim Jackson leads participants during the Martin people marched in the traditional Luther King, Jr. Day celebration Jan. 15. Marchers started at the University Center (UC) and strode down Second Street V See King, Page 4 onto University Drive. ( Staff photo by Laurette Graham)
Campus hosts memorial service for professor By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer A memorial service will be held in honor of Dr. William D. Parker from 9:10 to 10:10 a.m. today in the Pegasus Theater. The UCO police responded to a call at 9:40 a.m., Jan. 8 and found Parker dead in his office from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Parker was a professor at UCO since 1970 and assistant dean of liberal arts since 1985. He spent 39 years in the Marine Corps and retired in 1993 as a colonel. Parker was active in community affairs, serving as a planning commissioner and chairing Edmond's community oriented policing committee. He was also a member of the
National Academy of Criminal Justice Services and the board of directors for the Council of Law Enforcement Training. Parker, 61, was divorced and is survived by his son, Daniel Parker. What prompted Parker's suicide remains unknown. "No notes have been found," said Chief James Roberts of the campus police.

he bewildered tears of those who mourned Parker's suicide in his UCO office on the cold morning of Jan. 8, 1996 seemed to generate a fog that shrouded the campus he called home for 26 years. A full colonel in the Marine Corps and a professor of sociology, the unique dichotomy that made Parker's life so interesting leaves us no clue as to why he would take his own life. Jan Chapel, director of Student Support Services said, "UCO is a family. Some people knew him better than others. "Like relatives, some are immediate and some are more distant. Losing Parker is like losing a family member for those at UCO." Parker's friend and colleague Carl Reherman, executive director of the Office Of Outreach, shared the loss with Parker's students and family. He said Parker had been two things in life: a teacher and a Marine. "His personality was hammered out of steel, but he was soft." Parker expressed his soft side in his academic career. It was on campus, in this pursuit, that this man of steel shattered like porcelain. Along with family and friends, Parker's students will have to adjust as well. In the microcosm that is UCO, when the tragedies of the outside world intrude, our reaction is often disbelief or even shock or anger. In the halls of the Liberal Arts Building, we expect the muted sounds of pages turning, soft footsteps and inquisitive voices. The rude sound of the gunshot that resulted in Parker's death shattered more than the scholarly silence. It shattered any possible illusion that those we trust to give us all the answers might not even know for themselves. They share with students the most awesome responsibility of all, that of taking care of their own happiness and patching cracks with veins of steel and the soft stuff of self-forgiveness. "You never know what private hell someone is going through if you're not part of that hell," said Reherman, reflecting on Parker's last days. What, then, would be our old teachers' final lesson? Perhaps this: Life is fragile. Take care of the face in the mirror. Take care of each other. Ask for help. "We validate each other by asking for help," said Chapel. If you or someone you know show signs of impending suicide, please call one of the numbers given on Page One.

Kudos to UCO good samaritans
o
n Dec. 1 after leaving the journalism building at UCO, in late afternoon, we pulled into heavy traffic and suddenly heard the flapping sound of a flat tire. We turned at the first corner, pulled into a church parking lot and opened the car trunk to get out the spare. And, since we are gray-haired women with little skill at changing tires, we decided we'd see if we could summon help.
But help arrived before we could find a phone. Three UCO nursing students—Devin Peery, Kevin Haynes and Alison Yates—came up smiling and offering assistance. Alison filled us in on their studies and schoolrelated jobs while Devin and Kevin put on the spare. They even had to get the jack from their car when ours proved unsatisfactory. We tried to offer them money—something most
students can use. But they wouldn't accept it. So we'd like to use this means to offer our thanks. We'd recomend them as people of compassion and feel sure they will do well in the nursing profession. They do credit to their generation of students.

The paraders marched west up Second Street and around the campus, circling back to the University Center for birthday cake and hot chocolate. On this day, people throughout the United States remembered King and his accomplishments.

King was born Jan. 15, 1929 in Atlanta and was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tenn. at a sanitation workers' strike. He came from a line of civil rights leaders as the son and grandson of ministers who were also politically active. King is most noted for organizing peaceful civil rights demonstrations for minorities and helping change legislation in their favor.

For whom the bell tolls: Friends remember Parker By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer They came in police cruisers, dark limousines and road weary sedans. They came out of respect, out of gratitude and out of love. They came in tribute to Dr. William Parker. Flowers and ceremonial incense scented the wide aisles of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Jan. 11 as academic, military and law enforcement dignitaries laid to rest one of their own. Outside the church, seven white-gloved Marines in full dress uniform held their rifles at attention, ready to salute Parker, a 39-year veteran of the Corps. Parker served as assistant dean for liberal arts and professor of sociology at UCO until his suicide death Jan. 8 The memories and associations relayed by Parker's
r
former students and colleagues are as proud and colorful as the flag that draped his empty casket. Parker had left instructions for his memorial service in a rountine will. His long-trusted friend, UCO official Carl Reherman, carried them out in the ceremony that accommodated both his wishes for military honors and cremation. Dr. Stephen Law, chairperson and professor of humanities and philosophy, said Parker and he left the building together for the last time on Friday, Jan. 5. Parker served as liaison between the faculty and administration. His negotiation skills and wry sense of humor were crucial to the success of his dual role of teacher and administrator, said Law. Proposals for compromise often seemed unlikely to pan out
he said. "He was both an idealist between the two camps. "That dog won't hunt," was and a pragmatist. Often, one of Parker's favorite idealistic images of how things should be run counter to how things really turn out. "I think that sometimes I thought he did a created a great deal of great job. He was both dissonance and tension in his an idealist and a life."Even a basic psychological pragmatist. analysis of the situation would indicate that he made a very powerful statement by choosing —Dr. Stephen Law to commit suicide on campus," chairperson and said Law. professor of humanities Major Richard Mask, assistant and philosophy police chief for Nichols Hills, remembers Parker as a mentor to expressions for those situations. "On plenty of occasions Dr. whom he credits his present Parker expressed his frustrations success. Mask met Parker when he at the way things were going at joined the department as a the university," said Law. "I thought he did a great job," patrolman 14 years ago.

" H e encouraged me to get back in school," he said. " I was a little hesitant about that because of my age.

"Probably, without his encouragement and guidance, I would not have gone back and finished. I started college in 1974 and got my masters in '92." "To somebody just starting school, it was pretty scary," said Mask. "But Bill had come up the hard way, so he knew it was possible. You get discouraged V See PARKER, Page 6

along theway and you need people like Parker. The funeral provided an opportunity for Mask and many others to pay tribute to their long-time friend and mentor. As Parker's friends gave testimony of his life, Mask was astonished to. learn the scope of Parker's accomplishments. "As I looked around that church and watched the tears flow, I realized Bill had a lot of people who cared for him. "The sad thing about that is that probably, had we known he was having those kinds of problems, and had he known that he had that many friends, there would have been a different ending to the story," said Mask. Parker was a humble man, he said. "In a career as long as Bill's, you forget a lot of the people you have helped. But, as in this case, they remember you." A lone bugler played taps as six somber-faced Marines bore their fallen comrade down the aisle and into the January afternoon. "One does not want to lose a colleague...especially not in this way. He's going to be hard to replace," said Law, who was still visibly affected by the events of Jan. 8. Because Parker left no note, speculation as to why he took his life will likely continue. Mask said, "I've been a police investigator for 22 years. I've investigated many suicides and unfortunately, the people who are serious about it (are) like Bill. "It just happens one day and even the people closest to them miss the signals and the signs." The burly lawman's voice trembled with emotion as he continued. "I just keep thinking, had he known..." Seven Marines fired three volleys for the 21-gun salute that echoed both Parker's life and death. The Friday preceding the start of the spring semester brought sunny skies and warm temperatures to UCO. Parker's ashes were buried alongside his mother's in Atoka, Okla. Monday morning, as if on cue, winter returned to UCO, along with students and faculty as they remember Dr. Bill Parker.

Young players step up for Lady Bronchos By Jeff Packham Sports Writer
The young Lady Bronchos are starting to develop strong chemistry just in time to make a serious run for the upper-division in the Lone Star Conference. While sophomore Mandy Carlson has been the scoring leader for UCO this season, several players are starting to step up and a three-game winning streak has ensued. Freshman forward Mary Rhodes, freshman guard Kelly Seikel and sophomore center Christy Heavin have all averaged double figures in scoring in conference play, with Rhodes pouring in 15.8 points a game in the last four games. Rhodes also leads the LSC in three-pointers with 37, including five in last Saturday's 62-59 non-conference victory over Midwestern State (TX). "They're everything. They're
the ones that have an impact," Lady Bronchos head coach John Keely said. "Mary Rhodes has been great." UCO (7-7, 2-4) will host East Texas State tonight at Hamilton Fieldhouse. The Lady Lions (510, 1-6), who have lost three consecutive games, are led by center Jeanne Bailey and guard Cathy Strutton, who are averaging 19.7 and 12.5 points a game, respectively. "They have two seniors in the post who play tough," Keely said. "They are a very physical team." The Lady Bronchos will finish their three-game homestand Saturday with a contest against Tarleton State (59, 3-4). Both center Jana Skelton and forward Rachelle Bowen are scoring more than 17 a game for the TexAnns. UCO won both contests against TSU last year in the brief history of the rivalry.
Broncho Bits General Michele Smith, member the 1996 US Olympic softball team and former OSU pitcher, will be the key speaker at the annual "National Girls and Women in Sports Dartuncheon. The event will be emceed by KWTV's Jennifer Reynolds. For ticket information call (405) 3412980, ext. 5230 or 2144.

Dreyfuss turns to the classroom for Opus By John Clanton Entertainment Editor A new film about a band director at a small high school became the last of the holiday movies and brought forth the Edmondite upper class in hordes on opening day. Mr. Holland's Opus, or Mr. Holland's Musical Composition for our musically challenged readers, stars Richard Dreyfuss as Mr. Glenn Holland, a composer who turns to teaching to pay the bills for a few years. Of course, a few years turns into many years when his wife gets pregnant, he moves his family to a house and the low income of a public school teacher starts to
trickle in. Pretty soon, he has been at this small town high school for 30 years and is saddened by the fact that the state is cutting funds to the music program. On the long road to retirement, Mr. Holland goes from hating his job to loving it. He teaches more than a few students on a personal basis, which provide us with some tear-jerking moments. The truly heartwarming parts, however, revolve around Holland's son, Cole, who is born with a 90-percent hearing impairment. Mr. Holland's Opus is a well-written, well-directed film with superb acting by Dreyfuss, Glenne Headly and Jay
Thomas. Not only will this film bring a tear to your eye, there is just enough humor to keep you in good spirits. There are, however, a few flies in the opus. While looking for a perfectly sad note to end on, the film passes about three of them. As a result, the end seems to drag on and on. The film also dips into some incredibly far-fetched fiction. Consider this: a high school band director and a high school football coach who get along for 30 years. Get real.

Enviro-mentally ill film suffers from lack of comedy By John Clanton Entertainment Editor Pauly Shore should have been allowed to make one movie and that's it. Instead he's punished brave (or stupid) moviegoers with his childish, annoying humor for years by putting out movie after movie.
Bio-Dome stars Stephen Baldwin and Shore as two slack-jawed, bug-eyed characters who find their way into a selfsufficient environmental science project known as the Bio-Dome in a movie that resembles a music video more than a serious cinematic attempt. Naturally, the two dopes wreak havoc on the dome and eventually throw a party

inside. All of this barely inspires a smile from the audience. After destroying the dome, our heroes insist on getting it back to 100 percent again by locking themselves in the dome with the scientists. And there's the story. The biggest disappointment in this movie is not that Pauly Shore is in it, he has been paid to act like a deranged five-
year-old for years and everybody's used to it. The most disappointing part is that Baldwin followed him from The Usual Suspects into the depths of shoredom.

so," said Rupp. People in today's society seem to need some type of motivation to keep their promises, said Rupp. Often it comes in the form of negative reinforcement.
Rupp offers some advice to anyone interested in keeping the tradition alive: keep it reasonable, make it specific, try to develop good habits rather than break bad habits, and if all else fails, make a resolution to do something you want to do, like finding the time to read a book you've been interested in.
Column At one time resolutions were serious.. People made them fully intending to follow through with them. Today, resolutions are more likely to be made in jest. For example, many times some people "gives up smoking" for about a week and then laugh over their failure to keep a promise to themselves.
