UCO celebrates Black History Month By Judy Simpson Staff Writer "Black men and women were not acknowledged for some of the things they had done to make this the great nation that it is," said Barry Lofton, director of the Multicultural Student Services at UCO. Feburary is recognized as Black History Month, celebrating the accomplishments
and contributions of African American men and women to the United States. In 1926, an ex-school teacher and coal miner named Carter G. Woodson felt there was a need for black people to receive acknowledgment for their accomplishments. Wilson decided to write an almanac called Old Negro Almanac. It featured articles about the accomplishments of
African Americans. In those days, the only things that were written about black folks were negative," said Lofton. Eventually the publication helped establish recognition, which evolved into Black History Month. The author chose the month of February because according to Woodson, two people who had contributed most to the freedom
and equality of black people were born in the month of February: Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. Lofton said African American accomplishments should be celebrated year round, but February is the focal point because that is when it all originated. "The thing about Black History is that it's part of America, it's not just a black
thing; it's an American thing," he said. "We would like everyone to simply take the time to read and learn and educate themselves about the things black people have accomplished and contributed to this nation." On As part of a tribute to Black History Month, the Vista is running a four-part series profiling noted African Americans at UCO.
Pact made to improve state education By Judy Simpson Staff Writer On Jan. 26, the three top leaders in Oklahoma education vowed to work together to improve the quality of education in the state. At a meeting held by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education at UCO's University Center, a plan was presented by top leaders that focused on improvement in five areas of education. State Superintendent Sandy Garrett, VocationalTechnical Education Director Roy Peters Jr. and Higher Education Chancellor Hans Brisch spoke about ways their schools can work together to improve the areas of student success, accountability, economic development, technology and partnership. As part of the plan to help students succeed, high schools, colleges, universities and technical schools will cooperate to make education more convenient for students by reducing class duplication. Brisch said they will work to increase the number of times and places of courses offered to make them more convenient and accessible to
students. He said they see OneNet, the state's new telecommunications and information system, as a means to accomplish this. There will also be a plan to expand training programs for teachers, counselors and administrators and to improve communication between them. In the area of accountability, education leaders said they will begin providing the public with statistics about dropout rates, graduation rates, performance scores and job placement rates. Oklahoma education will expand its technology base so schools will be able to share classrooms and libraries. There will be training programs to educate teachers and faculty on ways to use the technology. The plan also includes strategies to meet the economic development needs of Oklahoma. Schools will work in a combined effort with business and industry to produce a better educationally-prepared work force. The plan will focus on developing a partnership between elementary, secondary, higher education, vocational-technical schools, the governor's office, legislative leaders and the public in an effort to implement the plan.

EDITORIAL
Someone to watch over me
W
hat constitutes greatness? What differentiates a great person from a mere plebeian? Is it his fortitude to defy seemingly insurmountable odds, or her affinity for taking calculated risks that go on to reap rewards in hundredfolds? Or is it because great people have greater people to look up to, people who watch out for and over them, people who are their friends, mentors and role models? Most of us are uncultivated in certain aspects of our lives. What we would rather be well-manicured gardens often fall prey to weeds from neglect. Because human beings are such social creatures, we need to have someone to emulate, to pattern after. We need Big Brothers and Big Sisters to guide us and look out for us. "You need someone to validate you; someone other than your family, someone (who) doesn't have to," said Dr. Robert Doan, associate professor of psychology at UCO. "Look and make yourself available, and try to mentor (someone else) yourself." Someone out there may be looking for a friendly face to make a profound difference in his or her life. That someone may be you, or someone you know. Whether you are looking for a Big Brother or Big Sister or you want to be one, let us remember: It's a small world...whatever good we do goes around and comes around. On

Students to document Route 66
U
CO photography students will be hitting the road this summer to document the historical Route 66. The project, titled "Route 66-Facts, Faces and Phantoms," will culminate in a local exhibit of the photos, a traveling exhibit and the publication of a book. Students will receive three hours of credit for the senior-level course, which is limited to 30 students on a first come-first-served basis. "There's no scarcity of students," said Dr. "Woody" Gaddis, who will be teaching the class.
The course is designed for experienced photographers and anyone wishing to take it must meet with Gaddis before enrolling. The book of photos will be published by the UCO Press and will document the entire stretch of the route through Oklahoma. Gaddis hopes proceeds from the sale of the book can be used as "seed money" to start a speaker's bureau for the photography club. For more information on the course, contact Gaddis at 341-2980, Ext. 5125.

`Kindergarten Cop' cruises the campus By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer It's Wednesday afternoon and the "Kindergarten Cop" is driving a Chevy Caprice cruiser in a loop around the campus. In the back seat is a blue plaid jacket for which he will be filing a "found property report" later in the afternoon. Student Officer Chad Langley has been with the UCO police department for just under a year now. He can't carry a gun, but he's tagged along for arrests, worked crime scenes, responded to domestic violence calls and opened up a lot of locked cars. "We don't write those yellow tickets. That's parking services,"

he said, shaking his head. lighten the load of the Langley's job is primarily to commissioned officers. He does "1017s" or errands, "welfare checks" on the buildings and "MAs" (motorist assists). But most of all, the student officers provide a police presence on the UCO campus. They are the "eyes and ears" of the campus police department, according to Chief James Roberts. Oklahoma law requires officers to be 21 to carry a firearm. Langley is 20, but looks as if he may be asked his age at an R-rated movie. The other officers sometimes tease him Officer Chad Langley patrols in about needing phone books to one of the newer police cars. reach the pedals of the cruiser. (Staff photo by Laurette Langley expressed concern Graham)
about not being allowed to carry a weapon. "When we're off-campus, no one knows that we don't have a gun and if you're a bad guy then you think I do have a gun," he said. The UCO police frequently "back up" the Edmond police when it needs help. This has included sending Langley out to unlock cars. "People lock their kids in the car all the time. I've gotten out tiny babies, one-year-olds, twoyear-olds," Langley said. Motorist assists are common calls on campus too. "The first thing we do if someone's locked their keys in the car is radio in a 28-29," he
said. He speaks in jargon that would leave civilian ears adrift in a sea of numbers and abbreviations. A "28" is a check on the vehicle's registration and a "29" is a check to see if the car is stolen. "We don't want to help someone steal a car," said Ed Arthur, the communications officer who runs checks on the computer at the station . Langley receives a lot of friendly banter from the other officers because girls call the station and ask for him specifically to unlock their cars. Langley also assists in medical emergencies on campus.

Freshman a real Factor for UCO basketball By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer UCO point guard David Factor may be a freshman, but he has been given a chance to play on a senior-laden team. Factor has started the last 13 games for the 12-7 Bronchos. He has averaged 6.8 points, 4.2 assists, and 1.84 steals per game heading into tonight's game versus West Texas A&M in Canyon, Texas. A local product, Factor attended Edmond North High School and Oklahoma Christian School, where he enjoyed success. At OCS, he played on two Class A state championship basketball teams. Factor transferred to Edmond North for his senior year where he won a Class 5A championship with the track team. On the basketball court, he helped lead the Huskies to a 13-10 record, the best in school history, while placing second in team history in career assists (128) and steals (78). Factor is the first freshman recruited by the UCO men's basketball program since 1990. UCO traditionally- recruits
upperclassmen transfer students, and this year's team features four seniors, two juniors, and Factor. UCO men's basketball coach Jim Seward says that he expects his freshmen to perform despite their first-year status. "I remember once I had a good freshman and before he started playing I visited with him," said Seward. "I said to him, 'Who's the best player on the team?' and he said, 'Wayne,' Wayne was a senior. I said, `What are you saying?' and he said, 'Oh, I'll be better next year.' I said, 'Are you going to be sick this year? "I don't look at you as a freshman, and I want you to do everything you think you're going to do as a senior."' Seward thinks that Factor struggled at first but has come into his own as of late. "I think early on by preseason practice he did an extremely good job," Seward said. "There was a time there where he was playing nervous or whatever. We were in - a meeting once where the team said to him, 'Are you playing like that?' He said, `Yeah, you know.' None of us
Coaches optimistic on remaining games By Jeff Packham
Sports Writer
UCO basketball features two teams going in opposite directions, with the Lady Bronchos losing three in a row and the men's squad winning their last three. Games this week against West Texas A&M and Eastern New Mexico should give both programs a chance to better their position in the Lone Star Conference. The LSC tournament fields only the top six teams. Tyrone Hopkins continues to lead the Bronchos in scoring and rebounding with averages of 23.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, but seniors Scott Sanders and Tyshon Fisher have stepped up in conference play with Sanders averaging 19.1 points in conference games and Fisher
contributing 17 points and 9.7 rebounds in the last three games for UCO. The Bronchos (12-7, 5,4), who are fifth in the LSC, play at West Texas A&M (14-5, 6-2) Thursday, Feb. 1, and at Eastern New Mexico (13-5, 5-3) Saturday, Feb. 3. The teams are third and fourth, respectively, in the conference. "We're actually two games away from being in first place (in the conference)," men's head coach Jim Seward said. "I happen to think there's a lot of teams ahead of us looking over their shoulder a little bit. I know our guys know they can beat anybody — they beat the number-one ranked team on the road early in the year (Southern Indiana in the Kenny Kent Shootout in Evansville, Ind.)." The Lady Bronchos have V See HOOPS, Page 7
were worried about that and I kinda think from that point on, he set his own role and it didn't matter if he's a freshman or a senior, he's just playing. He quit acting like a freshman." Factor has sparked the team on occasion. In a game earlier this season at East Texas State, UCO trailed 71-58 with 11:22 left in the second half. Factor scored 10 of his 12 points in a 17-6 Broncho run to make the score 77-75. Also in a game at Tarleton State, he recorded a season-high 10 rebounds as UCO snapped a four-game losing streak. "Coach (Rod) Wright had worked on us that day and practiced with us before the game to get us loose and he talked to us about rebounds. He told me to go hard to the boards," said Factor. "I thought it was luck, but they told me it was hard work, so I guess it was hard work. I guess it was being in the right place at the right time — the ball was going my way that night." "I never look at someone as if they are a senior or a freshman," said Seward. "That never entered

struggled recently, having averaged 21.2 turnovers a game and hitting only 24-percent of their three-point shots during their three-game losing streak. Lady Bronchos' head coach John Keely hopes this weekend will provide a jumpstart for his young squad. "I've got confidence in them (the UCO women's team)," coach Keely said. "If we can get one of these this weekend, or both of them, it would be fantastic. If we could just play better and start seeing progress, then we can just take them one at a time and see what happens.
Mandy Carlson and Mary Rhodes continue to carry UCO through conference play. Carlson leads with a 12.9 scoring average and Rhodes, a leading candidate for conference freshman of the year, comes in with a 12.3 scoring average and a conference-high 47 threepointers. The Lady Bronchos (8-10, 37) host West Texas A&M at 7 p.m. on Feb. 1 and Eastern New Mexico at 2 p.m. on Feb. 3.

Tori Amos takes aim with Boys
Tori Amos has just released Boys for Pele. Her solo albums are always unique, and this one is no different, even the art work is weird, strange and delightful, much like the music. Tori Amos' vocals may lack some of the technical polish you would expect from a studio recording, but instead of detracting from the songs it adds an honest feeling to them. Her voice is one of the best anywhere with or without the help of a studio, and the fact that it hasn't been restricted to the typical pop tunes is something to cherish. Her songs have an intense and intimate quality. At times she seems to be in the same room singing her heart out just for your listening pleasure. It is obvious that Amos
follows up on her impulses when it comes to writing and singing songs. At times her lyrics seem a bit off center, but there is something about the feeling to them that makes it more than all right. On an album where the quality is as consistent as this it is hard to pick outstanding Tori Amos brings out the big guns in her tracks, but two such new album, Boys for Pele. tracks are "Father Lucifer," and the best albums out in 1996. "Putting the Damage On." So if you have an extra $13While most of the lyrics seem 15 dollars spend it wisely on Tori to aim at depression, there is still Amos. a hint of playfulness throughout —Review by Paul Eddy the album.

Screamers defies sci-fi fans If a movie is billed as scary, you'd expect to be scared. If a movie is billed as sci-fi, you'd expect a glimpse of the future you hadn't seen before in another movie. And if you were told there were good effects, that's what you'd expect to see, good effects. Screamers was billed as a scary, sci-fi movie with good effects, but to my dismay, it had a total lack of any of these. Screamers, which stars Peter Weller, starts with the most complex story set-up since Dune. The plot has been seen in sci-fi movies since sci-fi began. Miners on a distant planet invented machines (screamers) that hide underground and rip people to shreds as a weapon.
"TUMBLEWEED 'SPRINGS' INTO ACTION!" WEDNESDAY'S THURSIMIS &
Only now, no body knows how they are reproducing. As far as effects, this is all that needs to be said: a man gets three limbs cut off and there isn't any blood. The screamers, although they will tear out your eardrums in a THX surround sound theater, look as though they were made out of left over Terminator parts. Overall Peter Weller starred in a movie that was only a half step up from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Considering the story, the acting and the fact the audience was laughing within the first ten minutes, Screamers would have been more aptly named Gigglers.—John Clanton .g6

"People have seizures or fall down. Especially during Finals week—they forget to eat and then they pass out. Or last year, when there were all the big holes from the construction, people would fall down all the time," he . said. Driving by the library, Langley commented, "I've gotten lots of people out of library elevators too. Whenever you pick up that phone in the elevator, it connects you directly to the police station." Langley talked about how people react differently to a police car and a civilian vehicle. "At stop signs I always get the right of way.

"I plan on going into law enforcement, but if something happens to me in law enforcemen, then I'd be ready to teach," he said. "I've always wanted a job in law enforcement. I wanted to be a fireman for a while, but then the house next door burned down when I was four and it scared me. "I'm happy to be here," Langley said about his job as the Caprice cruiser made another loop around the campus.

When too much is too much So how many drinks can a person consume within an hour and still be under the legal limit? That varies with weight. Two and a half beers will put a person who weighs 100 pounds at .10 BAC. A person who weighs 160 pounds would need 3 1/2 beers to get to the same level, according to figures published by Channing L.

COSAFE to host eating disorder events Feb. 5-9 In American culture, a woman can never be too thin and a slim silhouette really is to die for. Campus advisers hope the advent of National Eating Disorders Week, Feb. 5-9, lays these two axioms to rest. To heighten awareness of eating disorders at UCO, the Campus Organization for a Substance Abuse Free Environment (COSAFE) and the Counseling Services will host free screening activities and seminars. Screening tests will be held daily that week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Room 312 of the University Center, said Jan Chapel, Counseling Services coordinator. Chapel said participants in the screening will fill out a questionnaire that helps determine if they are at risk.

all in vain. The oil and gas well drilled in the stadium parking lot has turned up dry. This week, the university received a letter from Lance Russel Corp. stating that there were not enough hydrocarbons to make the well a viable option, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president for administration. The company plans to abandon the well. "Abandoning it means following the Corporation Commission's guidelines. They'll fill it with concrete to plug it," Widener said. The well was angle-drilled off-campus, so the university would not have received royalties on any oil or gas that the well might have produced. Ai —By GayleenLangthorn Staff Writer V Senior Pictures
