Sexual subject matter evokes student walk-out spring

This raised questions of censorship. "I like the classroom to mirror society. What becomes problematic is if you're intersession course, shut out from speaking," said Kleeman. "I think that in any kind of class that Gender Communication, was designed to explore issues presents any kind of alternative lifestyle related to gender in our culture. But you're going to have a select group that videos depicting homosexuality and disagrees and is uncomfortable," he cross-dressing offended some students said. Kleeman told the class based on his so much that two of them walked out of personal experience, he was not the class.

EDITORIAL

ccasionally material presented in classes offends some of the students. This probably happens more often than we realize, but it's rarely publicized. Such a case occurred in the intersession class, Gender Communication. While discussing media stereotypes, the class saw a video on male homosexuals and cross dressers. Apparently this made several students extremely uncomfortable—so uncomfortable they got up and walked out. Maybe the professor shouldn't have presented material students would find offensive. If students leave then they aren't learning. The American Association of University Professors' statement on rights and freedoms of students says, "Academic institutions exist for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals." To water down course content or omit material for the comfort of a few cheats the whole class. Universities are a place where students and faculty should be free to discuss any topic or idea without fear of censorship. Censorship occurs when officials limit access or stop the free exchange of ideas. So the Gender Communication class wasn't censored. The discussion was allowed to continue. It takes courage to present ideas and topics we know will offend some people. But society as a whole benefits from their presentation, whether they are accepted or rejected—at least the choice has been made from the full menu. A

LETTERS

Student offers opposing argument

gain, the readers of The Vista are thrown into the fray, and once more I feel compelled to offer an alternative viewpoint to those expressed by Messrs. Wehmuller and Pratt. At this point I am still clinging to the hope that I can avoid getting involved in nothing more than a base discussion of biblical texts on the subjects. Unfortunately, that hope is steadily dwindling. Still, I shall try my best to maintain some semblance of an argument that applies to the human race as a whole, and not just those who feel that they are the privileged few. First, let me say that my interpretation of Matthew 7:1-2 (or 1-3, as Mr. Wehmuller would like us to read) is not in error. The scripture does not refer simply to people being hypocritical, at least, not in the way that we would be led to believe. Since, according to the Bible itself, we are all creatures of sin, then judgment of any kind is in and of itself a hypocritical act. After all, those who have at some point sinned (and by necessity of imperfection continue to) have not put their own affairs in order enough to even be able to adequately consider judging another person (no matter how they try to pass

their judgments off or disguise them). This is something that Messrs. Sellers, Wehmuller, and Pratt would all do well to remember in their scriptural zeal. Second, I would like to point out that since I may not follow the particular teachings mentioned above, it is erroneous to attempt to apply them to me. After all, the constraints of their world may not form the constraints of mine. This leads me naturally to my next point. In the discussion thus far, both sides have bantered about the word of "God". That alone may be a logical oversight, but the argument itself falls prey to an even greater oversight: the assumption that "God" refers only to the Judeo-Christian concepts of god. I remind all involved that there are many visions of "God" in the world, and that since they are all equally justifiable in reality (and by the same means), that choosing only one as the basis of a religious argument is, by its very nature, intrinsically flawed. That is not to say that any of those who choose to believe in the Judeo-Christian theology do not have a perfect right to do so. It simply means that they commit an act of pretentious arrogance and conceit in thinking that the rest of us

should as well. Next, both Messrs.. Wehmuller and Pratt make the same error in judgment when they examine homosexuality in the larger context of the world. Both of them equate homosexuality with such things as rape and murder. This association is a spurious one, at best. You see, there is one difference between acts such as rape and murder and the act of homosexuality, and it is one of overriding importance. In the first two cases, there is a clearly defined victim. Murder and rape harms someone in a real traumatic way. While homosexuality as a concept may make some people uncomfortable, there is no such victim involved, clearly separating homosexuality from the other subjects mentioned. Finally, it is rather curious that Mr. Wehmuller (who seems to be very homophobic in attitude) would compare homosexuality as a whole to the acts of Jesus Christ himself, but let me be the first to applaud the association. He is right on one thing. Both homosexuals (as a group) and Jesus have sacrificed for love. Perhaps both sides should take the lesson well to heart.

Refund policy simplified UCO has a new simplified refund policy effective this semester. "The policy has been made clearer and fairer from a student's perspective," said Drew Duke, student accounts manager. Any student who drops or withdraws during the first two weeks of class will receive a 100 percent refund. After the second week, there will be no refund. Students who withdraw completely during the first two weeks of a 16 week semester will have the phrase "withdrew," along with the date, noted on their transcript. Previously, the withdraw and drop policy varied, causing some confusion among students, said Duke. Students who withdrew within the first week received an 80 percent refund, 50 percent during the second week, and 25 percent during the third week. Only students who dropped a class during the first week of classes received a 100 percent refund. —By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer

Staff Writer

he UCO Lady Bronchos won their second straight with a 79-60 homecourt victory over Tarleton State Saturday. With the victory the Lady Bronchos move to 8-7 overall and 4-5 in the Lone Star Conference. Tarleton State drops to 7-10 overall and 3-6 in the LSC. "We are very excited with the way we played," said coach John Keely. Mary Rhodes led the way in the scoring column for the Lady Bronchos. The sophomore guard scored 21 points and had 13 rebounds. "Mary played fantastic," said coach Keely. Freshman Toni Carter played well coming off the bench to score 13 points. "She isn't playing like a freshman anymore," said coach Keely. Kelly Seikel had her second straight double-double with 12 points and 11 UCO Freshman Toni Carter (32) drives past TSU's Rachelle Bowen (40) in the assists. Lady Broncho's win on Saturday afternoon.

Coach Keely said that the X-rays were negative, but she is questionable for their next game at Abilene Christian University on Jan. 23.

Newton returns from ankle injury; Bronchos beat TSU in narrow contest By D. J. Weidner Sports Writer

he ninth-ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos edged past the Tarleton State Texans during a hard contested 81-78 game Saturday afternoon at Hamilton Field House The Bronchos opened the first half with a layup by sophomore guard David Factor to take an early 2-0 lead. Tarleton State answered with a basket by Ryan Huntley, who had six points in the first half. The Bronchos and Texans exchanged the lead four times only to end the half in a 34-34 tie. The Bronchos' first half attack was led by Factor, who scored nine points on the half with one rebound. "Factor always plays hard for

us," said UCO Head Coach Jim Seward. Factor finished the game with 15 points, three assists and two steals. The second half started with the Bronchos taking the lead, but Tarleton State was able to keep pace led by the shooting of Stephen Shackles and Bobby Davis. Shackles, who posted a game high of 28 points, scored 23 points in the second half. Davis added seven points in the second half with 20 points overall. The Texans forced the Bronchos to play a defensive game, said Seward. "They were pressuring us at the perimeter." Tarleton State committed 15 fouls after halftime, forcing the Bronchos to shoot from the line. The Bronchos answered by

making 16 from 22 attempts. After a first half of seven points, Tyrone Hopkins made 16 points in the second half. "We weren't able to get the ball to Tyrone much in the first half...they kept the ball pressure up outstandingly," said Seward, "but he had opportunities in the second half." Hopkins scored a team high 23 points. "The one who really helped us was Joe Newton," said Seward. Newton, who came off an ankle injury from a Jan. 7 Eastern New Mexico game, posted 12 points and four rebounds during his 28 minutes of play. "He (Newton) didn't get any practice in this week," said Seward. The squad begins their next Central Oklahoma guard Londaryl Perry (50) drives through road trip at Abilene Christian on the lane by Tarleton State's center Bobby Davis, Jr. (40) in Saturday's 78-81 win.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The UCO Wrestling Team went 1-2 and finished in fourth place at the Northern Iowa Duals in Cedar Falls, Iowa on Saturday. The Bronchos were defeated b 36-6 in the Consolation Finals by Augsburg which ends UCO's 51match winning streak over nonNCAA Divison I opponents.

epression is known as

the common cold of mental illness and it does not discriminate. It can affect anyone including U.S. presidents and college students. Abraham Lincoln suffered from depression. He once said, "If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be one cheerful face on earth. Elton Trueblood discusses Lincoln's depression in his book, Theologian of American Anguish. "The largest number of people being treated on campus for mental illness are suffering from depression," said Jan Chapel, coordinator of counseling services. Known as the "winter blues," Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is recognized as a form of depression, according to the National Mental Health Association. "SAD's symptoms appear during the winter months and go into a recession come spring," said J.P. Smith, communications

director at the Society for Light Treatment and Biological Rhythms (SLTBR) in Colorado. "SAD is triggered by decreased hours of sunlight, therefore it is more prevalent in the northern part of the country." The disorder, which affects four times as many women as men, usually begins in early adulthood. For most people with SAD, January and February are the worst months. Some of the common symptoms include: • Moodiness • Lethargy • Sleeping problems • Increased appetite • Cravings for carbohydrates. Various light treatments can help alleviate symptoms. "Spending more time outdoors may help, but for more severe cases we caution against selfdiagnosis," said Smith. "Another treatment that is used is a "light box," which is just that, a box of light that may be prescribed by a doctor," For more information about SAD contact the SLTBR at 303424-3697 or the UCO Counseling Center at 341-2980, Ext. 2215.

Wallo said with the down-sizing of Kirkpatrick's art gallery, the department thought it was important to let the art be seen by a different audience here at UCO. "The range of works are probably some before the turn of the century into the '50s

and '60s," he said. Dr. William Hommel, chairperson and professor of visual art and design, helped develop the African gallery at the Kirkpatrick Center. Hommel, who is teaching multicultural art this semester, said the exhibit will help him teach the class. "There are pieces in the exhibit that we will be talking about in class and students will have the opportunity to see the reality of them instead of just looking at slides," he said. A kiosk with a computer will be set up to access material about what is on display. "It will contain music and video along with pictures with information showing how each piece was used in dealing with ancestors, prestige, protection fertility, social control, initiation, life-force, divation and healing," he said. Each piece will be labeled to tell what it is and what it was used for. The museum is located in the Art Building. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

hen Oklahoma City attorney, Barbara Snow Gilbert decided to try her hand at fiction writing she knew she'd need someone to teach her how. So the 42-year-old mother-of-two turned to UCO. The result of Gilbert's introduction to fiction class in 1993 and subsequent independent studies in the Creative Studies Department is one published novel and a contract for another. Her first book, Stone Water, was released in bookstores Oct.

31, 1996. It was named Best Book of 1996 by School Library Journal. The young-adult novel tells the story of a 15-year-old boy faced with the ethical, legal and religious issues involved in carrying out his dying grandfather's wish to be taken off his life-support system. Gilbert said she developed a passion for writing when she was young. "I felt like I had a reason to write but I just didn't know what that reason was," she said. After a semester of college

Computer problems hamper enrollment By Rhonda Bowden Staff Writer C omputer glitches and uninformed UCO personnel may have hindered the Greater Oklahoma City Higher Education Consortium's efforts to boost their spring enrollment. The Consortium, a coalition of five area universities and colleges, including UCO, offers lunch time and evening classes for students and professionals in downtown Oklahoma City. Although enrollment has quadrupled in

comparison to last semester, from 66 students to 263, Consortium Administrator Dot Blythe, said they had planned for more. "We blitzed the downtown area with some target marketing and it paid off, but the only problem I've had regarding UCO enrollment has been that the computers are showing that all the classes are full," said Blythe. "Our campus computers show no slots available for those classes, but that's not the case," said Linda Norton, Director of Continuing Education. "Our computers simply are not yet

programmed to keep track of the slots available at the downtown site," she said. "We're working on that, and hope to have it corrected for the summer semester." "I've had some students tell me that when they called the school to confirm that the classes were full, they were told that they were," said Blythe, adding that since the largest enrollment is from UCO, enrollment difficulties have had an impact. The Consortium consists of faculty from the University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Community College,

Oklahoma State University—OKC, Redlands Community College, and Rose State College. UCO instructors teach 15 of the 26 non-credit courses, 25 undergraduate courses, and two graduate level courses. Entering its third regular semester, the Consortium continues to be funded by its member schools until increased enrollment enables it to be selfsupporting. Enrollment for Consortium classes continues through Jan. 24. To enroll or obtain additional information, contact Blythe at 232-3382.

New UCO center seeks volunteers for referrals By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

f you can clean a fish tank, the UCO Volunteer Center wants you.

Operating under the umbrella of the Student Activities Office, the newly formed center acts as a liaison between students, staff and faculty seeking volunteer positions and more than 100 agencies in the metro area needing volunteers. Susan Thompson, director of student activities, said the volunteer center has

been a long time coming. After attending seminars and sitting in on volunteer center meetings at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, Thompson developed a plan for a similar center at UCO. Introductory letters sent out in July brought responses from 104 organizations seeking volunteers. Some of the agencies have positions open that could evolve into practicums or internships for students, said Thompson. Information about the various agencies is compiled into a notebook that can be used to match students, faculty and staff with their specific areas of volunteer

interests. A database of volunteer information is also maintained at the center to facilitate referrals to agencies that call the center for specific volunteer assistance. Julie Wilson, director of Edmond's HOPE Center, said UCO's volunteer center will be very helpful to the community. "Volunteers are the backbone of most helping organizations," she said. Along with the HOPE Center, Bryant Nursing Center is participating in the UCO project. Nursing center representative, Carmel Litz said she enlists the help of volunteers

on a regular basis. "They help read to the elderly and help with crafts and parties," she said. One UCO student volunteer comes in once a week to clean the fish tank, she said. "It may not seem like much, but it is a big help." The directory of volunteer agencies as well as volunteer applications are available in the Student Activities office located in Room 424 of the University Center.
