Black History Month celebrated

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer February is Black History month, and several organizations are doing their part to celebrate.

Despite the pioneering efforts of such people as Frederick Douglas and Ida B. Wells, Black accomplishments were ignored until Carter G. Woodson, the founder of Black History month, initiated the observance of Black history week in 1929, Lofton said.

Over the years, African American accomplishments became better known and observance week grew into a month.

"The reason February was chosen as black history month was that both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas had birthdays in that month," said Barry Lofton, coordinator for multicultural student services.

"A series of exciting events have been scheduled to celebrate this special month," Lofton said.

1.) A reception will be held at 2 p.m. in the Heritage Room of the University Center.

2.) The Miss Black UCO scholarship pageant at 7 p.m. Feb. 4. in the University Center Ballroom, followed by a dance at 9:30 p.m. at the Broncho Corral.

3.) The Black Student Association will hold its annual talent show in Ballroom A & B of the University Center on Feb. 9. The show is open to all UCO students.

4.) A Black Film Festival will be held at 7 p.m. Feb. 15 in the Seminole Room.

For more information call Lofton at the multicultural student services at 341-2980, Ext. 2580.

Flagpoles donated to campus Lieutenant Governor Mary Fallin, along with other distinguished guests of Edmond, revisited the UCO campus Monday to help dedicate four new flagpoles at the corner of Second Street and University Drive (Simmons Park).

The flagpoles were donated

History month celebrates more than skin color Referring to the - Miss Black UCO Pageant, - Barry Lofton, coordinator of Multicultural student services on the UCO campus, said it was specifically designed as a "time when Blacks come together to honor the beautiful Black woman."

So was the "Miss UCO pageant" conversely designed specifically "to honor the beautiful WHITE woman"?

Absolutely not—but if it was, many feel that the UCO administration that would "allow" such an "honor" would be accused of blatant racism.

Races and ethnicities are different because of their origins and customs, and America was founded upon the principle that "all men are created equal" (as idealistic as it may seem).

People from all over the world have come to America, and have been granted freedom of choice, action and expression.

This also allows them to choose not to integrate with "other" races or nationalities.

In reality, though, many are still willingly segregating themselves from a lawfully desegregated society—a desegregated society in which many lives have been sacrificed to achieve this freedom.

While this is a choice of Americans, many believe that accepting "American" culture means accepting "white" culture, thereby forfeiting their natural heritage.

American culture is not "WHITE" society's culture forced upon the innocent or the slaves. Just like the Miss UCO pageant should represent, the culture of today is a blending of EVERY nationality and heritage—of every American.

Even "white" Americans moved here from many other countries originally.

As UCO celebrates Black History Month, all students need to appreciate the freedoms they have today, and work toward the goals of tomorrow.

Black History Month does not just celebrate the color of skin—to do that would trivialize the founding premise behind it.

This is true especially at a university. The universal knowledge gained while learning to coincide with other races is part of a higher education.

We should all learn about each other and integrate the knowledge into our everyday lives. We are all free.

History month founder dedicated to 'Negro life'

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Although many people at UCO may be familiar with the extent and purpose of Black History Month, few people are aware of how it got started.

Information from The Black Collegian and The Dictionary ofAmerican Biography indicates that Carter Godwin Woodson, unknown to most Americans, is recognized by African Americans as the father of Black History.

To coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas, Woodson initiated "Negro History Week" through the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. This later evolved into Black History Month.

According to The American Biography Dictionary; Woodson, who was born in Virginia, was the eldest son of former slaves.

Partially self-educated, he attended school for only part of the academic year. The rest of the time he worked on the family farm.

In .1892, Woodson moved to West Virginia. After working as a coal miner for several years, he returned to high school and received his diploma in 1896.

After receiving a bache-

PTKAA puts out call for members In order to become an official student organization at UCO, the Phi Theta Kappa Alumni Association (PTKAA) is looking for 12 former members to sign a petition to the Student Activities Board.

PTKAA's main priority will

be to help students transferring from two-year colleges feel more comfortable in a new environment, said John Dettmer, a former member of the organization now trying to create the alumni association.

The alumni association also

organizes service programs and student activities for members and plans to provide scholarships for transferring Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) members.

Students interested in becoming members of PTKAA must be former PTK members.

MENTION STUDENTS!!!

According to The Black Collegian, he organized the "Association for the Study of Negro Life and History." The association published The Negro History Bulletin in 1937.

As well as writing for the Association on the Study of "Negro life and history," Woodson also wrote many books, including The Negro in Our History.

Woodson had few outside interests besides Negro history.

He died in 1950 of a heart attack.

lor's degree from Berea College in Kentucky, Woodson worked as a school supervisor in the Philippines.

In 1907, he worked his way back to the United States. During that time he learned French and Spanish, and studied history at the Sorbonne in Paris.

After several teaching engagements in the U.S., he accepted a position as a dean at West Virginia Collegiate Institute.

By 1909 Woodson had immersed himself in the study of African-American history.

`Thou Shall Not Take Thyself Too Seriously Professor follows 'eleventh' commandment when writing, researching & teaching

By John Clanton

I owe a lot to my wife...

Staff Writer Some professors make their living teaching, while others, like Dr. John George, live to teach.

This dedication to teaching was rewarded when George was named as the 1994 Oklahoma Political Science Scholar of the year.

"This award was given based on research, delivery of papers and publication over the last year," said George.

During the past year, George has written several articles and a book entitled Nazis, Klansmen, and Others on the Fringe: Political Extremism in America, which won George the Gustav Myers Human Rights Award.

—Dr. John George UCO political science professor "I owe a lot to my wife, Dr. George Treva George," said George, who added that she did most of the editing for his newest book.

George said he has received positive feedback from the

articles he has written.

Despite his many accomplishments, George is reluctant to talk in detail about them.

Instead, George chooses to quote the "Eleventh

%%%%%%%%%%N%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ♦

%S,

Commandment," which he says is "Thou Shalt Not Take Thyself Too Seriously."

George's academic interests cover a broad spectrum, ranging from sociology of sport to paranormal phenomena.

George claims that teaching is at the top of his list of priorities.

"I consider research and publication important, but not half as important as teaching."

"I appreciate having good colleagues in the two departments I'm in. This wasn't always true of the Political Science Department," said George.

Despite the awards he has already received, George said he doesn't expect to receive any more.

"The award that would mean the most to me would be an Excellence in Teaching Award," said George. % %%%% %%%%%% %%% % 4 %%

Exhibit elaborating African American achievements on display this month Diphtheria spreads through Russia VLADIVOSTOK. Russia (AP) — A diphtheria outbreak sweeping through Russia's Far East has killed or infected record numbers of people. At least 2.300 people contracted the disease in 1994. and 49 people died of it, according to the regional epidemiological service in the Primorsky region.

Local authorities declared a state of emergency in November. which they said helped with deliveries of the diphtheria vaccine.

Officials say the disease is continuing to infect people, and blame the spread on distrust of doctors and Russian vaccines, along with worsening sanitation.

Doctors say it could take at least two years to wipe out the disease from the region.

Diphtheria is a contagious infection of the upper respiratory system or the skin. which in severe cases can result in heart damage or death.

Treaty signed ending 46-year war RISHEH, Jordan (AP) Israel withdrew Monday from Jordanian land it has occupied for 27 years. in compliance with the peace treaty the two countries signed Oct. 26.

Jordanian army officers took control of 130 square miles of desert land near the southern tip of the Dead Sea. Jordan says Israel occupied the hilly territory after the June 1967 Mideast war to guard against infiltrations.

Jordanian soldiers removed barbed-wire fences to let a convoy of nearly 30 vehicles and 200 enlisted men drive across the desert to the new border.

Maj. Gen. 'Mohammed Milkawi, commander of Jordan's southern military region. and his Israeli counterpart Brig. Gen. Yosef Mishlab, shook hands across a new Israeli wire fence.

Israel has to return an additional 17 square miles of land to Jordan by Feb. 10 under the provisions of the treaty, which formally ended 46 years of war between the two countries.

By Farzana A. Razak Staff Writer An exhibition entitled African-American Contribution To The Histoty Of Oklahoma will be held through February at Evans Hall, Room 103.

The exhibition elaborates on the achievements of AfricanAmericans in government, the Old West, education and business.

"The display is based on people's personal information," said Annette Ryan, library technician of the archives collection.

"It is in honor of the African American contribution and part in politics and their settlement in Oklahoma territory."

A showcase of displays features contributors such as Green I. Currin, the first African American to serve as an Oklahoma legislator, Edward P. McCabe, the first African American to hold a major political office in the West and Hannah D. Atkins, who served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1969 to 1981.

Some of the books go into detail on intermarriage, different tribes, how the African Americans lived in the same community as the Indians and how they worked together striving to survive.

—Annette Ryan Archives library technician Americans were members of the Creek Council of Oklahoma, a governing council of the Creek Indians. Bass Reeves was deputy marshal in 1900.

In education, Inman E. Page was the first president of Langston University.

In business, Roscoe Dungee was a newspaper editor and civil rights leader.

Some of the books displayed in the exhibition are The Black Military Experience in the American West, edited by John M. Caroll, Black Indian Genealogy Research by Angela Y. Walton-Raji and Black

Wallstreet—A Lost Dream, By Jay Jay Wilson and Ron Wallace.

"There is also the correlation between African Americans and the Indians. Some of the books go into detail on intermarriage, different tribes, how the African Americans lived in the same community as the Indians and how they worked together striving to survive," said Ryan.

Also on display are Oklahoma Historical Society posters.

Life in the Newland depicts African American settlers in Oklahoma in the 1830's, during the Civil War. The federal government provided new land in Native American territories for many approximately 7,000 African Americans during that time.

Another poster, They Also Ran shows African Americans joining the thousands racing for land on April 22, 1889.

The race signaled the opening of unassigned land in Oklahoma territory for settlement.

Working For a Black State depicts the movement to encourage African American immigration into and political control of the state.

`Volunteer of death' targets police ALGIERS. Algieria (AP) — In the worst bombing of Algeria's three-year Muslim insurgency, a suicide driver blew up a car laden with explosives on Monday. At least 38 people were killed and 266 wounded, 60 of them seriously.

The car contained more than 220 pounds of explosives and was driven by a "volunteer of death," security forces said It was the first reported suicide bombing in Algeria since the conflict began in January 1992.

The bomb went off across the street from police headquarters, near the main post office and train station. No one immediately claimed responsibility. The security forces blamed "criminals" — the official term for fundamentalist guerrillas seeking to topple the army-backed government and install an Islamic state.

POWs file suit for WWII suffering TOKYO (AP) — WWII wartime prisoners from Britain, the United States, New Zealand and Australia filed a lawsuit against Japan demanding $22,000 each and a formal apology for their suffering at the hands of Japanese soldiers.

Japan forced prisoners to work in shipyards, mines and jungles in violation of international regulations. They were starved, beaten and some were executed. The lawsuit was filed in the Tokyo District Court on behalf of 25,000 members of veterans' organizations in the five countries. The total damages demanded comes to a half billion dollars.

The Japanese government has insisted that all war compensation issues were settled by postwar treaties. The government devotes nearly $15 billion annually to Japan's own war veterans and their families.

`Crib death' has some preventable risks, report says

By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer The inexplicable death of a three-monthold baby belonging to a couple at the Oklahoma Christian University of Science and Arts has raised a few questions about sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Dr. Carol Swink, chairwoman of UCO's Nursing Department. defines SIDS as the unexpected and unexplained death of an infant, whose cause cannot be determined by autopsies.

"People are not around when they (the babies) die—there are no definitive characteristics," she says.

Sherri Blazi, assistant director of the Office of Child Abuse at the Oklahoma State Department of Health, says SIDS is the leading cause of death among infants one week to one year old.

On a national level, 6-7,000 infant deaths a year can be attributed to the syndrome, which usually strikes babies two to four months old,

says Blazi.

However. a medical report in the Aug. 10, 1993. issue of The New York Times contradicts Blazi's first statement.

The article claims that SIDS, or crib death, is "second to birth defects as the leading cause of death in infants."

Studies have indicated that babies who sleep with their faces down are at greater risk of SIDS. states the same report.

The article goes on to list other potential risk factors of SIDS: • Soft bedding that may trap air around the babies' faces "Parents need to be careful to keep all soft things—comforters, blankets—away from the baby's face," said Bradley T. Thach, professor of pediatrics, in an article in the Oct. 1993 issue of USA Today. ✓ A recent cold or other illness V Maternal smoking ✓ Swaddling in sheets or blankets • Sleeping in a room heated above 57 degrees Fahrenheit

Dancin,' Dancin,' Dancin' UCO's Kaleidoscope Dancers Company is still one of the best in Oklahoma for over 20 years

By Paul Eddy Staff Writer For the last 20 years, UCO has been home to one of Oklahoma's best known dance companies.

And this year that company has shown why it is so well known.

The Kaleidoscope Dancers Company tours throughout Oklahoma and Texas, most recently performing in Dallas and Enid.

Yet one of the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company's most memorable performances was here at UCO with The River North Dance Company, a professional jazz dance company from Chicago.

While the majority of the show consisted of offerings by The River North Dance Company, the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company performed two numbers, "Crazy" and "Body Language."

In March, the Kaleidoscope Dancers will be representing UCO at the American College Dance Festival in San Marcos, Texas.

For one of the dancers, Jennifer Martinez, the festival will have a special meaning as the company will perform her work, "Duty Calls." It is one of two numbers the company will be performing.

Not to worry though, if past performances are any indication, the

Kaleidoscope Dancers will do very well indeed.

"We received a favorable response from our performance in Dallas," said Jamie Jacobson, director for the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company.

"I saw them with 'The River North Dance Company,' and I was very pleased that they held their own against a professional company," said Ann Shanks, former director of the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company.

UCO students who have missed seeing the Kaleidoscope Dancers perform will have their chance in April as the company presents their annual spring concert in Mitchell Hall Theatre.

Protein in saliva helps fight AIDS WASHINGTON (AP) — AIDS is not a kissing disease, and now researchers think they have found at least one reason why. Their discovery: a protein in human saliva that keeps the AIDS virus from infecting white blood cells.

"It has been known for many years that the spread of HIV through saliva is not extensive," Dr. Tessie McNeely said Monday. "That's why we were prompted to look for the physiological reason for that."

McNeely, a researcher at the National Institute of Dental Research, said she has found it.

A protein in saliva called secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, or SLPI (pronounced slippy), attaches itself to white blood cells and protects them from infection.

McNeely said it may be possible to inject SLPI directly into the blood stream to keep the virus from attacking blood cells. SLPI already circulates in the blood, but in extremely low levels.

Saliva contains other molecules that help disarm microbes in the mouth. But even when many of these are removed from saliva, it continues to protect cells from HIV.

Bronchos take over 1st Balanced scoring effort helps UCO knock off TAMUK for key LSC win

By Mike Erwin Sports Editor Central Oklahoma moved into first place of the Lone Star Conference with a 118-115 victory at Texas A&M-Kingsville Monday night.

TAMUK entered the game alone in first place with a 4-1 conference record, but seven Bronchos scored in double fig-

The Bronchos opened up an 11 point lead at 16:37 of the second half when Scott Sanders converted a three-point play to make the score 74-63.

TAMUK responded by taking a 90-89 lead when Soin Miller scored with 8:45 left in the game.

The lead changed hands several times after that with the Javelinas final advantage being 109-106 with 1:55 remaining.

The Bronchos, winners of nine of their last 10 games, hit 26 of 30 free throws in the game, including 12 of 13 in the last 2:30 to hold off the Javelinas.

TAMUK, now 14-4 and 4-2 in the LSC, was paced by forward DeRon Rutledge's 30

ures to hand the Javelinas only their second loss in their last 12 games.

Junie Sanders, Scott Sanders and Jason Ervin each scored 18 points for the Bronchos, now 5-1 in the conference and 13-5 overall. The victory was their fifth in a row, all on the road.

UCO led for most of the first half before going to the locker room with a 62-54 lead on a half court shot by Ervin.

By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer UCO, led by a career high game from freshman Mandy Carlson, edged out Lone Star Conference foe Texas A&MKingsville Monday, 61-58.

The Lady Bronchos led by four at the beginning of the second half but a 10 point run by TAMUK's DeDe Davenport gave the Lady Javelinas the lead,

After four more lead changes, a three-pointer by Kayla Bogges put the Lady Bronchos in front for good, 49-47 at the 4:47 mark.

Carlson scored 14 of her team and career-high 21 points in the second half including two clutch free throws in the last 56 seconds of the game.

"Mandy just played a great game," UCO Head Coach John Keely said. "She's been working

hard all year long and she's becoming a more confident player."

The 5-10 rookie from Sayre also nailed all five free throw attempts and pulled down seven rebounds in leading the Lady Bronchos.

Senior guard Tammie Barker, also from Sayre, added nine points and two rebounds to help UCO to the victory.

The Sayre connection accounted for almost half the points in the game and nearly one-quarter of the rebounds.

April Taylor and Bogges led the team in three-pointers with three apiece.

With these three treys, Taylor moved to within 15 of breaking the school and conference single-season record of 65 threepointers made.

Bronchos put winning streak on line against No. 2 UNO

By Scott Moore Sports Writer

NCAA Division II wrestling will see a one vs. two matchup today when top-rated Central Oklahoma, winners of 30 straight NCAA Division II duals, visits second-ranked NebraskaOmaha at 7 p.m.

Along with their number-one ranking, The Bronchos will bring with them a 7-2-1 record and four number one ranked wrestlers in Brain Melchiori (at the 126 lb weight), Mike Keim (134), Mark Cunningham (158), and Chad Humphrey (190).

Keith Kizarr at 118 is ranked sixth.

The Mavericks counter with an unblemished record of 6-0 and nine of their ten starters ranked in the top eight. Ralph Kizzee leads the way with a number-one ranking at 167 while four others (118 Lim Prim, 126 Jimmie Foster, 134 Steve Costanzo and 158 Brian Zanders) ranked second.

"I've had an opportunity to watch Nebraska-Omaha twice this year," said UCO Head Coach David James. "They are extremely balanced and talented from 118 to heavyweight. It's going to be an interesting, hardfought matchup."

After Nebraska-Omaha, the Bronchos will stay on the road to face South Dakota State the next day at Brookings, S.D. SDSU is 3-4 and currently ranked ninth. The Jackrabbits

"They have four ranked individuals and I'm hoping that we get an opportunity to compete against those particular individuals," said James.

"They've had their bumps and bruises just like everyone else and I don't know what their lineup will be when we face them, but I'm hoping we get to face those ranked wrestlers out of that particular conference (North Central Conference) because it will be our last time before we have an opportunity to see who qualifies to go to the nationals (March 3-4)."

head with a nationally ranked wrestler and get a win then it helps the individual wrestler out as far as the national tournament seedings are concerned," he said.

The Bronchos will probably be using the same lineup that took the NCAA Division II Showdown Duals title Saturday at Hamilton Field House. In that tournament, UCO won their three duals by a combined score of 95-29 and downed San Francisco State 34-7 for the title.

Defending national champion Jerry Best at 142 will not wrestle in this week's action due to a broken nose suffered on Jan. 13.

"He's been running and lifting some weights but he hasn't been in the wrestling room," said James. "We have two home matches next week on the 10th

and the 11th (Lindenwood and New Mexico) and there's a possibility he could be ready then."

Ryan Vratil has been wrestling in place of Best. He went 3-0 at the Showdown Duals.

Jeff Pease will start at heavyweight instead of sixth-rated Denny Kennedy who had started since the opening of the season.

Pease saw his first mat time of the season at the Showdown Duals winning all three of his matches. He got the starting nod by beating Kennedy during ranking matches prior to the tourney.

Also, Shawn Bateman received his first start at 150 for the Showdown Duals, replacing Chad Beeson. Beeson will move up to 158 behind Cunningham A against Nebraska-Omaha.

As sudents at UCO's sister university, Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estado de Puebla, Roberto Rosales and Antonio Avalos attended an economics seminar given by visiting UCO professor Dr. Paula Smith.

After Smith returned to the U.S., Rosales and Avalos were responsible for overseeing interviews necessary for completion of the project.

"Roberto and I supervised 40 other students who went into the city streets and did the interviews," Avalos said.

"We took a map of the city and gave each interviewer an area in which to do the survey," he said.

Once the information was gathered and entered into the computer, the next step was to bring it over to the U.S., Smith said.

"Roberto and Antonio's job this past two weeks has been to analyze the data," she said.

This past week Rosales and Avalos spoke to Dr. David Harris' International Law Class. They were also guest speakers at the

UCO's Spanish Club, where they spoke about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the devaluation of the peso.

When they spoke to the Spanish Club, they spoke first in Spanish and then in English. It gave the American students a chance to practice their Spanish and Roberto and Antonio a chance to practice their English," Smith said.

Correspondence courses offered

By Marta McCloskey

Student Writer

.

•

•

UCO's Correspondence program allows students to earn college credit right from their kitchen table.

The Correspondence office offers 46 different undergraduate courses and would like to have around 60 to 75 total, said Linda Mask, correspondence clerk.

However, some classes such as Humanities and Psychology, are not available through the correspondence program.

"It is our understanding, that at this time, both the Humanities and Psychology Departments do not deem correspondence as a viable option because they feel students can learn those subjects better in a classroom," said Mask.

Studying at home has its advantages. Besides being cheaper, courses could take less time to complete.

"1 almost completed a whole course, just over the intercession," said UCO Junior Danielle Dill.

"If you work a lot, have children, or if you are disabled and can't get to school, then correspondence gives you a chance to do your class work," she said.

Correspondence courses cost $45 per credit hour as opposed to approximately $50 for a traditional course.

On the average, about 500 students take advantage of the courses per year, the correspondence office reported.

However, correspondence courses do have their pitfalls.

"Students have to motivate themselves to do the course work, but that extra effort helps students learn to manage their time," said Dill.

Some students can't carry the load, however.

"I simply do not have the drive for it," said UCO Freshman

Gayla Johnson.

Social interaction between her friends on campus was also important to her, she said.

Other problems such as learning disabilities, could also pose barriers for students. Johnson suffers from "Reading Comprehension Disability."

"I personally could not do correspondence, because I may need to have professors repeat topics in class. Also, I have to have someone take my notes for me so that I can direct all my attention to what the professor is saying," she said.

Enrollment for correspondence is offered all year long, so if a student misses the regularly scheduled enrollment, they could enroll in a correspondence course and start their class work at any time.

Gary Oldman stars as Ludwig van Beethoven in the film by writer/director Bernard Rose.

Whether it be enraged, in pity or in love, Oldman plays the part of the deaf composer with a fantastic amount of emotion. The scene in which Beethoven's deafness becomes obvious as he plays before the crowd in Vienna is stunning, as is his portrayal during the last concert in the movie.

Beethoven (Gary Oldman) performs in Immortal Beloved, a Columbia Pictures release. only brilliance in the movie, however. As the music and sound effects are so critical in a horror movie, the way the deafness is handled and the dramatic inserts of Beethoven's music guarantee to keep the heart beating.

But, the plot did have its faults. Besides the hotel keeper's amazing detailed memory, some problems lie toward the end of the movie.

The mystery of the movie lies

in the identity of the "immortal beloved." However, that identity is fairly predictable too early in the more than two hour movie.

This is attempted, possibly to make the ending believable, but leaves the viewer feeling somewhat robbed. Also, because the movie spent so much time on the relationships of suspected inheritors, the actual inheritor's relationship leaves one feeling "immortally deprived."

`Dumber' plot is a 'genius' of a comedy The characters in this movie earned their titles. Although many may accuse Jim Carrey of over-dramatizing, it is only one of the qualities that make both the characters in this movie so darned funny.

The genius in this movie stems from the acting and the plot. That is, as far as comedies go.

The movie tracks the idiotism of two roommates, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, as they travel to Vail to meet the woman of their dreams, that is, one of the only women that will talk to them.

The movie is designed to attract those that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels star in the New Line love the satirical or sophomoric type humor Cinema comedy Dumb and Dumber. that has existed for so long. In other words, a will be other parts that catch a smile or chuckle. lot of the movie is just plain silly.
