UC to receive 'reconstructive surgery' By Jason Webb Staff Writer Changes, changes, changes! Just about the time UCO students are fed up with all of it, progress sweeps across the University Center.
Upstairs is moving downstairs, downstairs is erecting walls and moving around the corner and all the while, Taco Bell is on its way. The University Center is undergoing reconstructive surgery due to the incoming food court, which is scheduled to be fully
completed within a year, said A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Enterprises. The food court will house eateries such as Burger King, Taco Bell, Chick-Fil-A, Peppers Pizza, Dunkin' Donuts and Java Coast. North of the new food court, additional
sitting space will be erected in June, said Joyce Mounce, vice-president for administration. The area will be enclosed in glass, and will allow a view of Thatcher Lake. 'V See CHANGE, Page 9

o, this is not the National Enquirer...
A phrase like this appeared in a higher education column/ news brief section of the Edmond Sun. It was preceded by "anonymous," unsubstantiated rumors of UCO mis-managed funds and drained monies for "pet projects" by UCO president George Nigh. Pure hearsay. "I swear it's true" the writer quoted the anonymous caller as saying. But there were no on-record sources, no statistical data, no records, no FACTS. When factual information is dropped in with hearsay and rumor, the distinction between fact and fiction becomes blurred. This should never occur. In an era of "tabloid TV," the credibility of the press at large is declining for the "right" of free enterprise and free speech. Printing of hearsay, and not clearly attributing facts, is what turns readers off. The short-term goal of "getting attention" is causing the media to often be treated like a novelty. Edmond residents saw what many papers habitually run: "couch journalism." Editors, publishers and journalists run canned stories and/or write news from sources they can contact only from the comfort of their desks. This is not a plague upon only the Edmond paper. This is a national epidemic; an epidemic which threatens the integrity of a breed of journalism already endangered. This is a direct threat to the ethical writers in the print industry, as well as the industry as a whole. We can't afford to bankrupt this business. The First Amendment is at stake. The strength (and the weakness) of the press is the editing. Writers often don't even edit their own stories, or are confusing fact with fiction. This could issue the rite for the demise of free press altogether. Nobody wants to talk to someone they do not trust, and surely no one trusts the town gossip, and that's why journalists are losing ground in the battle for credibility. Print media may not always get the news first, but even on tight deadline, they have more time to get it right. Free speech and press is a right guaranteed to the people by the First Amendment, but unfortunately responsibility is not. But if you claim not to be tabloid trash—don't print tabloid trash, and don't ever confuse or combine fact with fiction.

UCO students celebrate MLK Jr. holiday with song, march & hope for peace By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer In memory of a dream, UCO students, faculty and staff celebrated the life and efforts of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday on the UCO campus. A continuous film of King's crusade for equal rights for all men, women and children was shown at the University Center from 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Later, a salute to King was held in the Will Rogers Room at the University Center. Charles Lillard, director of the Baptist Student Union, began the salute with a prayer. This was followed by the singing of the Black national anthem, led by Joy Howard, Black Student Association treasurer. County Commissioner Shirley Darrell was the keynote speaker. Darrell recalled things that made an impact on her life during the Martin Luther King era. She spoke of a time in 1954 when she left Oklahoma and traveled to Virginia by train to attend Hampton University. Her strongest memory of that journey, she said, revolved around the segregated coaches. "None of us, black or white, understood why we had to ride in separate cars," she said. "We would get these incredi-

Will slavery be 'abolished' from Mississippi's law books? JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — With the approach of Black History Month in February, there's no better time for Mississippi to endorse the end of slavery — even if it is 130 years late, a state senator said. When the 13th Amendment to the Constitution outlawed slavery in 1865, Mississippi was the only state to refuse to endorse it. State lawmakers called it "unnecessary." Democratic State Sen. Hillman Frazier filed a resolution Wednesday to ratify that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude ... shall exist within the United States." "We're trying to get rid of some of the mistakes of the past," said Frazier, whose resolution is cosponsored by 10 of Mississippi's 52 senators. "A lot of folks still view us as being backwards, holding on to the past. We'll send out a message to the entire nation that this is a new Mississippi." The old Mississippi was a bastion of segregation and a hotbed of racial strife, characterized by the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers who were attempting to
register black voters. Republican Sen. Mike Gunn said Mississippi has spent enough time trying to live down its reputation, and has already approved resolutions honoring state and national black leaders. Now the Legislature should focus on other issues such as economic development, he said. "Each year we pass sayings that Mississippi has changed, we are now 'Mississippi Cooling' as opposed to 'Mississippi Burning,'" Gunn said, referring to a movie

about the murders of the three civil rights workers. "It's moot. It's needless. I think it's nonsensical," he said. "Obviously the Legislature wastes its time on a lot of things, and this is one of those situations, probably, that we'll waste some time on." The resolution needs approval from two-thirds of the 174-member Legislature, which includes 41 blacks. If passed, it would be noted in congressional records.

WORLD' WRAP Japanese quake devastates Kobe KOBE, Japan (AP) — Japan's nightmare of a disastrous urban earthquake came true Tuesday when a quake tore through several western cities. toppling hundreds of buildings, touching off raging fires and killing more than 1,700 people. The devastation was worst in the port city of Kobe, where the quake collapsed roadways, knocked trains off their tracks, wrecked docks and severed communications. The quake, with a higher preliminary magnitude of 7.2, was the most violent to strike a densely populated area of Japan since 1948.
Gazans have fun with new freedom GAZA CITY. Gaza Strip (AP) — PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat's eight-month-old autonomy government may not have brought Gazans the prosperity they dreamed about — but the self-rule experiment is stirring a secular revolution in the Gaza Strip. For the first time since the Israeli occupation began 27 years ago. Gazans are having fun. Residents can buy a massage. Music blares from wedding receptions and car stereos. while bands and singers are barely able to meet the demand. Dusty refugee camps have installed pinball machines in game rooms and snack shops now offer pizzas and croissants. And even the police have joined in the fun. At a party at the Palestine Hotel recently. a plainclothes secret service officer hopped on the table and did a belly dance. his pistol jiggling on his hip. before showering himself with one-dollar bills.

By Liz Dorris Staff Writer The first few weeks of any semester propose refreshing changes as students, faculty and staff wait to see what the new term holds. Also planning new and refreshing changes is UCO's student paper, The Vista. "When I started seven years ago The Vista was eight pages. Today we are pushing 20-page papers," said Mark Hanebutt, director of The Vista. One of the changes The Vista will have is a question and answer column in every Tuesday's paper. Any student may turn in a question anytime to The Vista, Room 107 of the Communications Building, or to David Hanigar, managing editor, at Ext. 5915.
and software are given to schools who turn in Homeland receipts. Because of a larger staff and progress in computer programs, The Vista is in need of new computers and software. A special prize will be given to the person who brings in the most receipts. Students, faculty, staff and organizations may bring in receipts with their names written on the back of each receipt to receive points. This "receipt drive" will last through March. The Vista has added new staff members and has made changes with last semester's staff. New staff members are: John Clanton, Cynthia Chung, Farzana Razak, Elizabeth Hew, Marta McCloskey, and Christy Strother.
Waste materials may be future fuel WASHINGTON (AP) Researchers say they have found a way to turn sawdust and other wastes into a potentially endless source of fuel. The key: a genetically altered bacterium. After 20 years of effort. scientists have developed a microorganism capable of converting certain sugars found in wood and other fibers to ethanol. The raw material can include waste paper, municipal solid waste, newspaper and other materials discarded as trash. Use of ethanol instead of gasoline in a car results in a 90 percent reduction of carbon dioxide.
Evidence implies black hole exists TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Using a new, keener radio telescope. astronomers have found compelling evidence for the existence of perhaps the biggest black hole ever found, with a mass equal to 40 million suns. The Very Long Base Array telescope found a disk of dust and gas rotating at up to 650 miles per second in the center of a galaxy 21 million light years from Earth. Black holes are stellar structures that have collapsed into a single point so dense that the gravity it creates prevents even light from escaping. They have long been thought to exist in the center of active galaxies, but unquestioned proof of their existence has been elusive.

Waiting decreases premature birth BOSTON (AP) — Spacing pregnancies too close together increases the risk of prematurity, the major cause of infant death in the United States, and may help explain the relatively high death rate of black newborns, a study concludes. The study, conducted by Dr. James S. Rawlings and his wife Virginia, a nutritionist, and Dr. John A. Read, says women should wait at least nine months between pregnancies to build up the nutritional reserves necessary for a growing fetus. The research suggests that black mothers' tendency to get pregnant again quickly is one reason their infant mortality rate is twice as high as whites'. The researchers found that almost half of the black women they studied waited less than nine months between babies, compared with one-third of the whites. Ten percent of the blacks and 4 percent of the whites waited less than three months.

Nigh to be honored by OU for community service By Iris Knight Staff Writer
a
•
UCO President George Nigh will be recognized for his outstanding service to the community at the Evening of Excellence research dinner Jan. 26 at the Marriott Hotel in Oklahoma City. The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Alumni Association will honor Nigh with the Dean's Award for Distinguished Community Service during its annual blacktie dinner. "Nigh will receive the award because the major building and modernization of the OU College of Medicine occurred during his tenure as governor," said Carol Hall, dinner committee chair. Nigh said he considers public service work honorable and is very appreciative of this award. "I wanted to be able to do things for the state and for the people," said Nigh. Nigh said he has always wanted to serve the public and remembers telling his seventhgrade class that he would one day be governor. Nigh's political career includes his eight-year term as
UCO President George Nigh governor of Oklahoma, 16 years as lieutenant governor and eight years in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. Nigh founded the Nigh Institute of State Government at UCO and is president of the Donna Nigh foundation. Nigh said he is very proud of his service work, particularly his selection as one of the five national honorees for the Martin Luther King Award in 1993. Another honor bestowed upon Nigh was his induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1989. In 1994, Nigh received the
National Patrick Henry Award from the U.S. National Guard Association for his help on the veterans memorial at UCO. Along with Nigh, Dr. John R. Alexander, vice president for medical affairs at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, will be honored. Carol Modisette, coordinator of the Medical Alumni Association, said this was the 11th year for the dinner, which raises money for research scholars at the OU College of Medicine. "We awarded greater than $800,000 in research grants in the first ten years," said Modisette. Some other recipients of the award have been Dean McGee, John Kirkpatrick, Stanton Young, Mrs. Fred Jones, Richard Harrison, E.K. Gaylord, Edward Joullian III, John Gammill, Paul Travis, and Sarah Hogan. To purchase the $150 tickets for the dinner call Carol Hall or Kay Oliver at 271-3500.

FUND continued from front page junction to be a four-way stop. "He (Mau) was traveling westbound on 164th and the truck was traveling northbound on MacArthur. At the stop sign he stopped and made a left turn—right into the path of the truck," said Sgt. Kim Hughes of the traffic investigation unit at the Oklahoma City Police Station. The truck could not avoid a collision, and hit the car on the
driver's side, throwing the Sentra 54 feet, Hughes said. Mau suffered extensive injuries to the brain, stomach, spinal cord and pelvic bone. Kong, who sustained injuries to the left collarbone and lungs, hung to her life for the first two days before doctors declared her out of danger. MSA sponsor Jimmie Rogers said Mau's hospital bills alone amounted to approximately
$43-44,000. The cost of the machines in the intensive care unit escalated the bill almost $9,000 a day. Eighty percent of the bills incurred will be settled by personal insurance, while the MSA Foundation has volunteered to take care of the remaining 20 percent, Rogers said. To date, the fund has collected almost $2,000 in the form of donations and proceeds from a
garage sale, said MSA Secretary Audrey Masacorale. Many of those who knew Mau well were profoundly affected by the accident and his death. "It's very sad," said UCO student Amelia Liew. "He worked so hard, tried so hard—and he was about to graduate soon. It's such a waste." "I see him whenever I close my eyes," said Mun Keat Kok, a
friend who shared Mau's major.
A wall was erected, splitting the Oklahoma room in half, to house The Corner. The north side will remain The Oklahoma Room. On the first floor, where The Corner was previously located, is the University Center's latest change–the Union Station Express. The Union Station Express is a convenience store larger in size and variety than Central Express, the convenience store located at the back of Central Cafeteria. The Union Station Express will
offer food and "anything for everyday life," said Rahman. Currently, the store is filled with candy, chips, popcorn, sodas, paper, film and other things necessary and not so necessary to student living. "We're still bringing in items that people requested," said Arthur Robinson, director of the University Center. Sally Baker, junior Elementary Education major and customer of the Union Station Express said, "This will be pretty good, because
it's the only one on this floor. A lot of people don't even know that there's anything downstairs." The Union Station Express will be open seven days a week. Other plans for the university are further down the road. "The idea is to move student services to the University Center, but the work and plans have been stopped," said Nick Widener, executive assistant for special projects. Presently, the university is awaiting acceptance of a grant from the Donald W. Reynolds
Foundation to determine the size and extent of additional buildings. Widener explained the changes will be made in two phases. During the first phase, a building will be erected south of University Center, and will house student services, such as the advisement and enrollment offices. In the second phase, another building will be constructed to house conference rooms and the David Boren Archives 43 library.

"I hope to have the bookstore moved by the end of the month," said Paul Mengwasser, University Center Bookstore manager. Once the bookstore is completely moved, it will still sell textbooks and school supplies, but art and office supplies will be sold across the hall at The Corner bookstore.
THANK YOU KINDLY NEIGHBOR! Speaking for the 402 members of Oklahoma One-Call System, Inc., thanks for the phone calls.

A motivating midlife UCO professor's multiple careers include parenthood to flight attending to the FBI By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer
Career Occupations:
opelessly mired in a mid-life crisis," 54-year-old Mike Seikel said he decided not to let stereotypical ideas hold him back, so he resigned from the FBI and became a flight attendant. After working for American Airlines, Seikel is now taking a leave of absence from the airlines and starting a career as a motivational speaker. Along with his new career, Seikel will serve as an adjunct professor at UCO this spring. He will teach criminal enterprises, an intersession class focusing on the history of crime in America. "We will talk about how some aspects of crime have evolved into the complicated and sophisticated type of crime, such as gangs, extortion and kidnapping." Seikel said he hopes to have a variety of guest speakers from the FBI and from the state and county prosecutors office. "I intend to give the students an overview of crime in America and make them aware of the importance of the history of crime," Seikel said. Born in Oklahoma, Seikel has been married 35 years and has five children and 10 grandchilH

"It did me a lot of good because I overcame my fear of public speaking, although I don't know if it did them any good or not," he said. Disheartened by the extensive loss of life in Vietnam, Seikel resigned from the military and followed his boyhood dream to become an FBI agent. Seikel was with the FBI from 1963 to 1988. He worked all the criminal type violations from reactive and personal crime to white collar crime. One of his cases involved a man who kidnapped a banker from Tecumseh, and demanded a ransom of $300,000. Seikel and other FBI agents watched him pick up the money. Hoping the suspect would meet with an accomplice, they followed him. "When we tried to pull him

However, Seikel said he was extremely shy and didn't think he was aggressive enough to be an agent, so he joined the Marine Corps. "I saw those signs 'The Marine Corps Builds Men' and I thought if they could make a man out of me they could make a man out of anybody," Seikel said. Seikel credits the Marine Corps for giving him confidence in himself. Although he was an artillery officer he spent one year as the battalion's moral guidance officer. During that time his job was to convince the Marines not to get venereal diseases when they went

Seikel was in the car directly behind the fugitive and had to ram his car to get him to stop. "The crash banged me up a little bit and broke the stock of the shot gun I was carrying," Seikel said. "It was a funjob but it got kind of old after 25 years" he said. fter a total of 29 years with the federal government, Seikel decided it was time for another change. He resigned from the FBI and took some time off to write a book and finish his master's degree. During this time, Seikel saw that some of the airlines were hiring mature flight attendants.

"I've never been more proud than when they pinned my wings on as an American Airlines flight attendant." Some passengers often find it hard to believe that Seikel is a flight attendant. "I was standing in the terminal in Dallas with our captain waiting to board a flight to New York. "She and I were standing in our uniforms and a woman came right up to me and said, 'Captain can you tell me the flying time to New York." "Before I could respond she turned to the captain and said 'Miss, can you tell me what you're serving for dinner today."' Seikel speaks at civic groups and charitable organizations and is in the process of making a video of his presentation. Seikel is particularly interested in working with college students. "I think my presentation, 'A Formula for Success' can give them an edge when they get out into the business world." Seikel said he has had a lot of positive feedback from his presentations and feels confident that his formula works. "It has never failed me yet." 43

UCO's Aska prepares for Hula Bowl By Scott Moore Sports Writer Former University of Central Oklahoma standout tailback Joe Aska will participate in this year's Hula Bowl Sunday at Honolulu, Hawaii. The game will be televised by ESPN beginning at 7 p.m. The Hula Bowl is a showcase for top collegiate talent with National Football League hopes. Aska will play on the West team along with such Division I standouts as quarterback John Walsh from Brigham Young University, running back Tyrone Wheatley from Michigan and running back Lee Becton from Notre Dame. Aska will be playing fullback instead of his usual tailback position. The Hula Bowl will be the second college all-star game for Aska since the end of the 1994 season. On Christmas Day Aska participated in the nationally televised Blue-Gray All-Star game and picked up an MVP award for the Blue squad. Aska led the Blue team to a 38-27 victory with 69 yards on seven carries and two touchdown runs of one and five yards. Aska also returned a kickoff for 46 yards and caught two passes for 20 yards. His difficult, 18-yard reception that set up his one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was the most impressive to pro scouts who questioned his pass-catching abilities. The 5-11, 226 lb. Aska, who is blind in one eye, rushed for a school-record 1,629 yards in 1994 and finished third for the Harlon Hill Award for the top player in Division II.

Matmen take first at SIDE By Scott Moore Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma wrestling team rolled to their first tournament title of the 1994-95 season by capturing the Southern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville Cougar Invitational championship Saturday while crowning three individual champions and placing five others in the top three. The Bronchos, ranked number one in Division II, finished with 97.5 total points with Division I foe Missouri finishing second with 88.5. Junior Brian Melchiori at 126, senior Mike Keim at 134 and senior Chad Humphrey at 190 all won titles for UCO. Melchiori earned Outstanding Wrestler honors. "I'm very pleased with their performances at the tournament," said Head Coach David James about the Broncho's three titlists. "They've been productive all year and they've been competitive against top competition and that's what I'm most pleased about." Freshman Chad Beeson at

Sixteen teams will compete in the duals with 13 NCAA Division I teams making up the bulk of the field. Iowa and Oklahoma State (ranked one and two in Division I) will also be competing. Last season, the Bronchos finished seventh in the NWCA Championships with upset wins over then number four ranked Michigan and number 10 ranked Fresno State, both Division I foes. Last year, UCO became the first-ever Division II team to place in the tournament. Under James, UCO's record is 34-47-4 against Division I teams.
Melchiori, Keim, Humphrey win titles at Cougar Invitational 158 and junior heavyweight Denny Kennedy grabbed second place finishes for UCO while sophomore Keith Kizarr (118), sophomore Ryan Vratil (142) and sophomore Shawn Bateman (150) finished third. Sophomore Mark Cunningham at 158 and junior Jerry Best at 142 did not participate at the Cougar Invitational due to injuries. Defending national champion Best missed the tournament because of a broken nose but should be available for this weekend's National Wrestling Coaches Association Dual Meet Championships at Lincoln, Neb. Cunningham missed with a sprained ankle and is questionable for the NWCA tournament. The Bronchos will face Division I opponent Iowa State (9-0) in the first round and despite the injury to Cunningham, James still feels good about his 3-0-1 Bronchos. "I'm happy with where we

Hot shooting and tough defense helped Central Oklahoma rout Angelo State 7656 Monday night inside Hamilton Field House. After giving up the first basket, the Lady Bronchos went on a 12-0 run and never looked back while shooting 56.7 percent from the field in the first half. UCO led the defending Lone Star Conference champions by as many as 28 points in the second half. The Lady Broncho's senior guard Kayla Bogges shut down ASU's preseason All-American guard Nicole Collins. Last year's conference player of the year, Collins entered the game averaging 26.9 points. She was held to eight points and made only three of 15 shots. "We used Kayla and tried to make Nicole go to her right as much as possible," said UCO coach John Keely. The Lady Bronchos were led in scoring by freshman forward Christie Heavin's 17 points. Senior guard April Taylor scored 16, including four three-pointers, and Bogges added 11. After enduring a rugged early-season schedule, the Lady Bronchos improved to 4-9 overall and 2-1 in league play. "We really tried to take that tough early schedule and learn from it. The things people throw at us now, we've already seen it before," said Keely. Saturday night, the Lady Bronchos play at West Texas A&M, the first of five consecutive road games.

An Angelo State basketball player who wasn't in the Central Oklahoma scouting report made the Bronchos pay for the oversight Monday night. ASU's Marcus Davis came off the bench to lead the Rams to a 96-94 Lone Star Conference victory inside Hamilton Field House. Davis, a 5-11 junior, scored 16 points, grabbed six rebounds, dished out nine assists and had only four turnovers against UCO's pressure defense. "Number 10 (Davis) destroyed us and won the game, basically, for them," said Broncho coach Jim Seward. "I feel bad I don't know his name, but he really played a great game." The Bronchos, who entered with a four-game winning streak, didn't go down easily, despite trailing by as many as 13. Jason Ervin scored 14 of his 19 points in the final 2:54 to help cut an 11 point ASU lead to one. After Ram guard Bert Butler
hit one out of two free throws at :11, the lead was pushed back to two. UCO brought the ball downcourt but Zoderick Green's jumper was blocked out of bounds by Davis with 6.3 seconds remaining. The Bronchos got two more chances to tie, but Junie Sanders' five-footer rimmed out and Eric Fortenberry's follow shot missed as time ran out. "We scurried at the end and made a run, but we were never in the game," said Seward. Lack of consistency was a problem for the Bronchos, said Seward. "We can't sustain things. We either get a slow start and come on or we get a good start and then we stop." The LSC's leading scorer and rebounder, Sanders led all players with 26 points. Green added 16 points and 14 assists for UCO. The Rams were paced by Kenwick Gaines' 21. Butler scored 20 and Alan Bradley chipped in 18 for ASU. The Bronchos, now 8-5 overall and 1-1 in the conference, play next at West Texas A&M Saturday night in the first of five straight road games.

Students can acquire jobs 54 students named to 'Who's Who' via internship positions, says placement director By Iris Knight Staff Writer
By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer As the new semester begins and students buckle down to study, junior and senior students may want to keep in mind that knowing the technical aspect of a job in their field of study could be as important as learning the theories. Internships are a new trend in the placement business in regard to students preparing themselves for the job market, said Kathryn Gage, director of the career development and placement services. "There was a day when an employer would come up to UCO and interview 20 or so students and make a hire. "Employers are much more cautious these days, the trend now is to hire interns," Gage said. Students need to learn how to use office equipment, get along day to day with colleagues and bosses and understand office politics, she added. The placement office at UCO
works with many students, alumni and business people, regarding internships. The placement office wants UCO students to be able to tell their prospective employer that along with their Bachelor's degree they know how to operate a computer and know what's expected of them. During an internship, an employer can have a student work 15-20 hours per week and show them the ropes of that business, Gage said. Not only is this an education service, but it gives the employer time to look the student over as a prospective full-time hire and in return, give the student inside information on the company. "It's an excellent way for a student to get their foot in the door," she added. "Right now we have more internships than we have students to fill them," she said.

Students who believe that putting a little extra effort in their college experience are usually rewarded in some way. Who's Who, an organization that recognizes students across the country for outstanding achievement, has added 54 UCO student's names. Students are selected for participation in Who Who for excellent grades, community service, and leadership in extracurricular activities, said Janet Bellows, secretary to Dudley Ryan, vice president for student services. "It's quite an honor and students like it because they can put it on their resumes," said Bellows. Bellows said the year-long process of becoming a member of Who Who begins in March
with letters of reference from university professors. In October the list is given to an awards committee for further scrutiny, and by December the nominees are chosen and Who's Who notifies selected students. The award winners receive a certificate from Who Who through their universities, a lifetime membership to Who's Who and nominees seeking postgraduate employment will gain access to the reference service, said Randall. The recipient's name and a brief biography will be printed in the 1995 Who Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. The names of the 1995 UCO winners are Sandra Bennett, Michael Cavendish, Nuri Creager, Michael Flowers, Heather Geery, Michael Greeson, Mark Hatley, Michael Hogue,

Campus community shares holiday spirit with an Edmond family By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer Christmas was made more magical for one family in December due to efforts of The Vista and UCO's Greek clubs. Sigma Tau Gamma, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Sigma and Alpha Tau Omega joined the campus newspaper in embracing the spirit of giving by adopting a family of nine for the season. Donations of clothes, shoes, blankets, food and toys filled two cars and a pick-up truck, said Jennifer Palmer, editor-in-chief of The Vista. "A third of that went to the Hope Center (in Edmond), while the rest went directly to the family," she said. It was the first time in almost half a decade that The Vista spearheaded a concerted effort to benefit families in need within the community. Appeals were also extended to the student body via ads placed in the newspaper. "We saw a need and we wanted to meet it through students here at UCO," said Palmer. The Greek clubs volunteered responsibility for the needs of the seven children while The Vista took care of the parents' i \\ (m10 .
wants, she said. "The father was making barely $900 a month—they needed all we could give them," said Palmer. Aaaron Montgomery, president of Alpha Tau Omega, said his club collected two boxes brimming with blankets, shoes and coats. Given the apparent success of the endeavor, would The Vista and the clubs score an encore this Christmas? It depends on who's here next fall—hopefully it would become an annual event," said Palmer. "It's good for the community. It can b.e very successful; it just takes extra effort," she said.

COMPUTE continued from front page nology will soon flood students across the nation. However, students at UCO have only felt a trickle of what is to come.
•
LRC moved to new location Students needing help in specific subjects will have a new and improved place to go this spring. The Learning Resource Center (LRC) has moved to a new location. "We needed to expand because our computers were sitting side by side and no one had any room to write," said Amanda Harper, LRC lab assistant. The new center has doubled in size and is now located on the first floor of the southeast wing of Thatcher Hall. The new location allows room for expansion and separates the Assessment office from the LRC, Harper said. The LRC offers help with basic skills in any subject with computer software, although 1000 level courses are the main focus, said Laura Crewe, coordinator of academic affairs. Some of the software available tutors in English, reading, writing, typing mathematics, science, biology and chemistry. Preparation for the GMAT, GRE, and the PSST tests is also offered through available software, Crewe said. Video tapes on subjects such as time management, test taking, listening and note-taking can also be checked out overnight from the LRC. The LRC is funded by student fees. For every hour a UCO student attempts, $1 is placed in and assessment fund, from which the LRC operates, Crewe said. Because UCO students are paying for it anyway, the LRC should be taken advantage of, Crewe said.
Current Technology

As the presence of technology saturates the modem world, education must adjust, said Chris Cowan, OSU junior. "Technology is changing, everything's going full speed ahead. There's a ton of stuff done on computers," he said. Currently, advances are reflected in educational institutions across the globe. Innovations in broadcasting and computing have brought education into the multimedia age, according to an article in the Californiabased Cause/Effect magazine. Interactive teleconferences, such as one held Oct. 27 in the UCO Communications Building, allow educators to see and learn of current changes and advances in the multimedia age. Presently, colleges and other learning institutions around the U.S. have classrooms in which teachers lecture from "digital podiums" and present visual demonstrations on large computer-animated view screens. Students, through access of an international, information-exchange network called Internet, write papers with researched information from around the globe. Teachers lecture inter-nationally to thousands of students through distance-learning :tar programs while advances in satellite and fiber optic networks allow students, educators and professionals to link together and share information. Modern telecommunication systems allow the simultaneous, asynchronous (two–way) transmission of TV broadcast quality, or "realtime video" and other audio and visual data. As technology infuses with education, teaching methods are changing also. In situations where the students must grasp complex concepts and theories, educators can use computers to show with three-dimensional animahigher education. tion rather than with two-dimensional stick However, as technology grows, teaching figures on slate chalkboards. methods are in a state of flux, said Anna Seu, According to the "Technology Infusion Plan" for UCO's College of Education: director of multimedia development for California Polytechnical University.

Industry trends lean on an institutional campus. Because of this, toward the decentralization of learning and instructors must adjust their schedules and expect to create a more competitive system of
teaching methods to remain current. "Technology is a tool we use to communicate. Computers are excellent at providing content, not understanding. They help teachers get better at what they do; they don't replace them," said Dr. Tom Owens, Ph.D., professor of education at UCO. Although remaining current technologically may be of utmost importance, with the cost of educational hardware and software, the task could prove to be difficult for the present educational systems. However, many computer and educational technology companies are contributing to education by providing low-cost technology to public learning institutions. Furthermore, changes in the distribution of local, state and federal funds will aid in buffering these costs. "Connecting every public school and library to the developing information superhighway is a legitimate goal of public policy. Adopting regulatory policies that will advance this goal is crucial," said Sen. Bob Kerrey in an on–line interview with WIRED magazine. As an example of the industry's effort, Microsoft Corporation co-founder and Director Paul Allen told News Bytes, a digital news service, of an agreement he made in November 1994 to invest in the Computer Network (C/Net), a cable-based computer literacy channel. "We have hit a gold mine with our computer channel,"said C/Net's Chief Executive Officer Dr. Bernie Luskin, Ph.D. "It is no sur-
prise that other companies are coming around to try to partake in this new line of broadcasting."

The film is about the perfect holiday romance, a chance meeting between strangers and a night spent walking together in one of the most romantic of European cities talking and sharing intimate secrets. "Before Sunrise" was filmed on location in Vienna and stars Ethane Hawke as Jesse, an American traveling through Europe, and Julie Delpy as Celine, a French student traveling home to Paris. After becoming casually acquainted on the Eurail, Jesse
Sunday
Jesse (Ethan Hawke) suggests that Pauline (Julie Delpy) postpone her travel back to France. (Castle Rock Entertainment) persuades Celine to delay her trip home and join him on a spontaneous trip through Vienna. The film shows their fourteen hours together, as they walk and talk through their lives and through Vienna. When the film closes, it is left to the viewer to decide whether the relationship grows and contin-
ues or just fades to a sweet memory. This is a film for the romantic in everyone, and has the potential to bring director Richard Linklater into the view of the public for good. The soundtrack features Viennese pop and local Austrian bands and performers.

Rating: 4 4 Originally titled "Pret-APorter," the film takes place during the French fashion shows also named Pret-A-Porter. "Ready to Wear" is a conglomeration of several plots. One features a relationship between two reporters stranded without luggage. They spend their time in a hotel room taking their notes from the television. Another plot involves the death of the head of the fashion council. Although his death is an accident, the police think that he was murdered. Everyone connected to the victim is a suspect in the ensuing investigations. Of course, there is still the
Recreation: Saturday Linda Hunt, Tracey Ullman, Danny Aiello, Sally Kellerman and Kim Basinger in Robert Altman's "Ready To Wear" (Mirimax Films) matter of the actual fashion show and the maneuvering for power in the world of fashion. The film is carried more by the names involved than by the stories it tells. Sometimes the plots seem to be excuses to bring more names into association with the film. Still, if nothing else, one can find some entertainment in trying to recognize all the names involved, and the last runway
show is quite "different." The film's cast includes several top names in today's worlds of film and fashion, such as Julia Roberts, Tim Robbins, Naomi Campbell, Stephen Rhea, Tracey Ullman, and Christian Lacroix. The film's soundtrack is in spots worthwhile with bands such as The Cranberries, U2, and The Rolling Stones contributing. A
