The Student Voice Since 1903
Drag race kills UCO student Agency heads have 1994 budget input WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton is giving agency heads a few days to propose changes in the budget he will release March 23 — but only as long as they don't try to tamper with the bottom line. The memo states that Clinton plans to release his full budget for fiscal 1994 on March 23. The spending plan, for the fiscal year beginning next Oct. 1, will be the first he puts together as president. The le tter lays out a rushed timetable in which Clinton will tell agencies what policies he has decided upon today. Then, agency chiefs will be allowed until Monday to file appeals with Panetta.
Japan's jobless rate highest since 1989 TOKYO (AP) — Japan's unemployment rate rose for the first time in six years in 1992 as an economic slump erased the nation's labor shortage, the government said Tuesday. The unemployment rate for 1992 averaged 2.2 percent and rose to 2.4 percent in December, the highest monthly figure since May 1989, said the Statistics Bureau of the Prime Minister's Office. A Statistics Bureau official attributed the rise to the current economic slowdown, which has cut part-time job opportunities — especially for women.
Tahlequah judged 75th best town TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tahlequah Chamber of Commerce director Jo Prout wasn't surprised to find her town among the communities listed in "The 100 Best Small Towns in America." But "I was surprised that we were only ranked 75th," Ms. Prout told the Tulsa World. "We should have been Number 1." The reference book, published by Prentice Hall, ranks Tahlequah 75th in overall quality and Poteau 90th. Elko, Nev., led author Norman Crampton's rankings, which are based on towns' scenery, economy, population diversity and education, health care and other factors. VSee World Wrap, page la

A University of Central Oklahoma student died last Friday afternoon when her car was struck head on by an Edmond High School student participating in a drag race. Fronie Brennan was on the way to pick up the child of the family she lived with when her northbound vehicle was struck by a southbound Camaro traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour at Boulevard and Covell. Brennan died instantly, police say. Brennan, 24, was a sociology major who wanted to become a counselor. She found her calling when she went as a summer missionary to inner-city Houston, said Janay Moody, associate director of the Baptist Student Union. "She had a special compassion for underprivileged kids," said Moody. Originally from Carson, Calif., Brennan was very active in the BSU and the Henderson Hills Baptist Church Singles Department. She led Bible study and discipleship classes at the BSU and took part in almost every activity. A loyal and reliable person, she would always complete a task she was asked to do, said Moody. Moody described Brennan as a tall, pretty girl with dark brown hair and a great smile. She had a sense of humor, loved playing practical jokes and enjoyed playing volleyball and going to the movies, she said. "I will miss having her as a good friend, someone who I could be honest with and share things with," said Moody.
Spring enrollment shatters UCO record By Michele Soh Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma experienced a record breaking enrollment this spring for the third year in the row, said acting Registrar Suzanne Martin. A record 14,905 students are enrolled, a 3.9 percent increase from last spring's enrollment of 14,350 students. "While we are proud of our continued growth, we are equally proud of our faculty. Their success and ability enable us to offer students what they need in Oklahoma's largest public metropolitan

university," said UCO President George Nigh. The biggest increase in students was at the junior and senior levels with 3,053 and 3,290 respectively. Martin said these increases in the upper divisions indicated that UCO is retaining more of its students and more students are transferring to UCO from area community colleges. Graduate enrollment increased by 4 percent and the number of freshman students increased to 2,438. Martin said that offering more afternoon classes may have contributed to the increase in students. UCO offered 302 sections of afternoon
classes this spring compared to 237 sections last year. Quality programs and a good location are contributing factors to the increased enrollment too, added Martin. International students showed an increase of 37 percent, the biggest enrollment in the last few years, said Jalai Daneshfar, activities coordinator in the the International Office. There are now 1,164 international students representing 68 countries. "Two countries, Azerbaijan and Botswana, are represented on campus for the first time," said Daneshfar.

Stephanopoulos a smart choice "Welcome, home viewers, to the Bill Clinton Show! Once again, we will watch our host, Mr. George Stephanopoulos, as he takes on the raging hounds from hell--the American Press!" Stephanopoulos, President Clinton's baby-faced communications director (a great improvement from the wrinkle-faced Fitzwater) is drawing in viewers in record numbers, even outdrawing the CNN programs which air directly before and after him, according to the Nielsen ratings taken during his first four news briefings. Stephanopoulos is also breaking new ground in White House/Media relations, being the first to meet the media without any coverage restrictions. Under previous presidents, live telecasts of briefings were reserved for only the most important, biggest-breaking news events. The Clinton Administration is the first to take a "windowon-Washington" approach allowing the public to watch the day-to-day goings on of the White House. A smart choice for the eyes-glued-to-television-24-hours-a-day society that we live in. The new approach allows Americans to see that Clinton is trying to break gridlock and not just sitting back in his Oval Office watching re-runs of "Gilligans Island." The only drawback in the change is the fact that Stephanopoulos will not give the media access to his office, while Fitzwater was often available throughout the day for informal briefings. The popular press dodger is obviously good at what he does and the Clinton Administration is smart enough to use television to evade the hellatious howls and outstretched tentacles of the media. By cordially agreeing to give on-the-hour updates, he keeps the public informed and the media off his doorstep. Stephanopoulos' charisma and charm will undoubtedly encourage Americans to view the conferences. People have even been calling CNN asking when he's going to be on again, said a CNN spokeswoman. It's about time Washington let Americans in on what's going on. The Clinton Administration signals a new era in White House/Media relations and encourages society to be more politically minded. The daytime briefings are downright smart.

UCO student gives first hand account of Clinton's inauguration ceremonies I t was early to bed and early to rise for Day Four — Inauguration Day. We were in line at the gate for "beige and blue tickets" by 8 a.m. They let us in 15 minutes earlier than the posted 9 a.m. opening. A security check of bags was required, but no x-ray machines this time, just volunteers glancing through them. I suppose someone could have gotten through with a gun on their person and no one would have known it. Of all times not to have good security devices, why not then? Our tickets were in the West Standing Area, which for the most part were just slightly left of center behind the "Reserved Seating area" and behind the handicap platform. A real sense of unity came over me while standing in MY reserved spot. The people around me staked their claims for THEIR spots from which to view. As time went by, the ramp for the handicapped was filling up with persons in wheelchairs, assisted by at least one able-bodied person. Some wheelchair occupants had as many as five able-bodied persons with them. Need I say what the crowd around me was saying? "NO!...NO!...NO!" That's what they said in unison to the guard, who proceeded to find an official coordinator to rectify the problem. Directly between the handicap platform and in front of where we were standing was a 12 foot by 5

Fashion show planned By Theresa Coleman Student Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma Fashion Group Organization will host a Mini Fashion Show at 12:40 p.m. Feb. 8 in the Home Economics Building, Room 209. The event will showcase an Historical Garment Collection. Guest speaker will be Lillian Russell, a member of the Fashion Group International of Oklahoma City. Russell has been in the fashion industry for 40 years and has worked on the Historical collection for over eight years. "She is the person that spearheaded the idea of the entire collection. She is always trying to add to it," said Glen Weatherly, president of Fashion Troupe. The fashion show will include many of the antique garments that Russell has been putting together for years. The collection is from the turn of the century and is presently being housed in a special climate control room in the Home Economics Building. Weatherly, who has been working on the actual restoring of the garments, has spent endless hours of work on the project. "No one really knows how much time goes into a project like this," said Weatherly. Fashion Troupe is a student organization for fashion merchandising and marketing majors. Most of the members are in the fashion-minded field. The group has monthly meetings that usually include a guest speaker from the fashion industry or special field trips. For more information on how to become a member of Fashion Troupe or on the Historical Fashion Show, please contact Darlene Kness at 341-2980 ext. 5785.

Publication 4, Student's Guide to Federal Income Tax, and Publication 520, Scholarships and Fellowships, are aimed at students needs and can be ordered by calling 1-800TAX-FORM. "Students can also stop by the IRS office in Oklahoma City at 55 N. Robinson. We'll be glad to help," said S tell.
Students can receive their refunds more quickly by filing electronically, said Neal Little, owner of Edmond Public Services, a local tax filing business. "If a person requests their return be directly deposited into their bank account, they should get their return in 8-14 days. If they prefer a paper check, it takes about a week longer," Little said. Electronic filing is available at many local tax preparation businesses and costs $25 to $35.

Teachers learn stock market By Joe Umbarger Student Writer What is The Stock Market Game, and why do high school and secondary school teachers from across Oklahoma come to the University of Central Oklahoma to learn how to play it? Ask Jean Caldwell, Director of UCO's Center for Economic Development. Caldwell was speaker at the Conference for Teachers Playing the Stock Market Game Thursday at the University Center's Lariat Room. She explains that the Stock Market Game is a state level competition for teams of high school and junior high students who are given a mythical S100,000 to "buy" and "sell" stocks offered on the New York and American stock exchanges. "There are many learning
benefits to playing the game," Caldwell said. "The kids tend to read newspapers more often, learn to use math skills, and take a more active interest in the nation's economy." The conference, which began in 1984 as an annual event, is now held every semester at UCO. Tony Winningham, math teacher at Colbert High School, has entered teams from his applied math classes for the last two semesters and has won both tunes. Last semester Winningham's students placed first, second and third in the state. Winningham plays the real stock market, and concedes that might give his teams a bit of an edge. "The kids are really into playing the game," Winningham said. "They see a practical reason for using math now, instead of just 'do page 34.'" Winningham said the game
has also done away with many disciplinary problems in his math classes. Students concentrate their energies into buying and selling strategies. Records of each team's account are sent to Jerald R. Scott, assistant director for UCO's academic computing department, where they are tallied and sent to Kansas State University. "I'd like to see every high school get involved in this," said Scott, whose department spends a couple of hours or more each week inputting scantron data from the schools during the game. "It's invaluable, especially to smaller schools that don't have the resources otherwise." "Kids should start thinking about investing in stocks even now," said Caldwell. "It is one of the best savings plans for the long term that there is." The Stock Market Game begins Feb. 12, and runs for ten weeks.

Playwright's company holds auditions By Joy McNutt Student Writer
Auditions will be held for the Playwright's Acting Company from 2-6 p.m. Feb. 6-7 in the Pegasus Theater at the University of Central Oklahoma Liberal Arts Building. The company is being formed to establish a base of actors to read plays written by playwrighting students in the UCO creative studies department, said Pamela J. Gold, lecturer for the department. Gold said they are needing actors and actresses ranging in age from 20s-60s who would be available to read Monday
evenings, though not necessarily weekly, some Saturdays, and for rehearsals, not yet scheduled, for a play festival April 17-18 called Oklahoma Voices. Playwrighting students need to hear their plays being read to know if what they have written
is working , Gold said. Actors have a lot of input, so they handle the class like a workshop-style lab, she said. Connie Green, graduate assistant in the creative studies department, with experience in directing, will be conducting the auditions, Gold said.

Students able to reprieve grades By Shirley Taylor
Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma students may be able to petition for a reprieve of bad grades beginning in the fall semester of 1993. If a request were approved, the student could have a maximum of two semesters worth of credit hours and grade points excluded from the calculation of the retention/graduation grade point average. However, the name of the course and the grade which were reprieved would still appear on the transcript.
The student would also be required to replace those hours and/or courses if needed to fulfill graduation requirements. It could be a complicated process, and each petition would have to be reviewed on an individual basis, said Paul Patrick, assistant director of Admissions and Records, Under the "forgiveness" policy, the semester(s) being petitioned must have been at least three years in the past and the student must have completed at least 12 credit hours since then. In addition, after returning to school, all grades must be a "C" or better, said Patrick. Although procedural
developments have not yet been worked out, legislation enacted during the 1992 Oklahoma legislative session mandates the reprieve policy be implemented by higher education entities. One difficulty in trying to establish procedural guidelines pertains to the student's transcript(s). The transcript from UCO would reflect the benefit of the reprieve in the retention/graduation GPA but, in the case of transfer work, a transcript received from the original school would not reflect the reprieve action, Patrick said. This situation could occur when a student applies for a job and is asked to present all
transcripts. Another area of concern is that of whether to reprieve out-
of-state credit. As of now, only Oklahoma schools are being considered for the process. The cumulative GPA will remain unaffected. It includes all academic work that was given a letter grade using the 4.0 scale. It does not include work graded on a pass/satisfactory basis such as those courses termed "advanced standing," those which were audited and those gained by taking the College Level Exam Program (CLEP) tests, Patrick said. Some admissions offices,
such as those for law schools, use the cumulative GPA as part of their rating criteria because it is considered a competitive indicator. The purpose for creating the reprieve law was to enable students who had a particularly low retention GPA during their early years of college to be able to achieve an academic degree in a more timely manner after returning to school later in life, Patrick said. The returning student would, otherwise, face the possibility of having to take many more courses to bring the retention GPA up to the level required to graduate, Patrick said.
Defaulting a student loan risky business By Shirley S. Taylor
Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma students who default on their college loans may find it difficult to get a job since the Financial Aid Office puts a hold on their college transcripts. They may also find it difficult to get a loan since credit reporting agencies are informed of the default. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service and the State Tax Commission are informed of the default and can process a "tax intercept," which means they can withhold income tax to repay the loan.
Also, with passage of the Administrative Wage Garnishment Act in July 1992, a defaulter's paycheck is liable to access through the employer by the guarantee agency or the U.S. Department of Education. The law allows a 10 percent garnishment of disposable income without a court order. In the past, Oklahoma law required a court order resulting from litigation by the Attorney General's office before wages could be attached. Of the 1,127 former UCO student-borrowers who were eligible for making payments in the 90-91 school year, 155 (13.8 percent) defaulted, said Misty
White, a loan coordinator with the UCO Financial Aid Office. Borrowers are given a sixmonth grace period after graduating or leaving school before they must begin making payments. It is only after they have ceased making those payments for a period of 180 days, called the "delinquency period," that the loan is in default, said White. Borrowers who have never made a payment must also pass through the delinquency period before their loans are considered in default. The recovery process can take several years, said White. When the lender is unable to
pay back the loan, the borrower's file is given to the Guaranteed Student Loan office (the guarantee agency), which is part of the Oklahoma State Department of Higher Education, said Director of Communications Jeanie Edney. If the GSL office cannot get the borrower to make payments, then the file goes to a collection agency which charges a fee for its services. The fee varies among the agencies and is added to the amount owed by the individual in default. It can be as much as the amount of the loan itself. If the collection agency is unsuccessful and the borrower has assets with which to make

Symposium deadline nears By Heide Brandes
Staff Writer Submissions are being accepted for Crosscurrents V, the Liberal Arts student scholarship symposium for students interested in presenting their original works. The symposium, set for April 7, allows students to present their works in front of an audience. Classes in the LA building will be preempted and the rooms will be used for the presentations. "It encourages students to excel beyond normal class requirements," said Libbie Gray, special projects editor for the New Plains Review . "This is the fifth year we've done it. Last year, 150 students participated. Hundreds attended. This year should be the biggest," she said. The symposium accepts all student works including paper presentations, art work, poetry, music, drama and humanities. "We're also trying to get a place .where everyone can participate, adding things to a canvas," said Gray. "The canvas will be permanently hung in the
Pegasus Theater." About 50 submissions have been turned in, Gray said, and the goal is 200. Moderators are also needed. "We encourage the faculty to moderate and set an example for the students," said Gray. Certificates will be given to
participants. "There's so much competition and everything you can do beyond course requirements gives you an edge, " Gray said. The first deadline is set for Feb. 15. Submissions can be picked up and returned to LA 105 or call ext. 5628.

payments, the task is then given to the Oklahoma Attorney General's office, said Edney. If the borrower does not have unencumbered assets, or has only enough income to support the family, the file is passed to the U.S. Department of Education. Early-on, before the recovery process gets churning, the GSL program staff and the borrower work together to try to find a viable solution for making payments, said Edney. Accumulated interest is added to the amount owed by the defaulter. None of the loans in default by the 155 former UCO students has been recouped, said White.

UCO's Kim Martin drives in for two points in the Lady Bronchos 68-85 win over East Texas State (Photo by Mike Simons)
The Central Oklahoma Lady Bronchos stole a little thunder from their basketball counterpart this week, as they swept both games over Texas A&I and East Texas State. While the men notched a split, falling to Texas A&I on Saturday before bouncing back on Monday to ream East Texas State.

Authors share publishing pointers at UCO institute By Joy McNutt
Student Writer Three published writers, William Bernhardt, Irene Martin and Gordon Greene, revealed !three very different avenues to !publishing books at the !University of Central 'Oklahoma's Creative Studies 'Writer's Institute meeting last 'Saturday morning. Publishers are interested in ,investing in writers, not just one ,book, because a book usually !doesn't do as well until a second one is published, Bernhardt said. Patty Wagstaff, manager of Bollinger's Bookhouse in Oklahoma City, said publishers' sales representatives don't usually push first novels. Also, she said, people seem to like buying all the books an author writes and do not seem to be as attracted to just one book. Bernhardt said he wrote Primary Justice, a courtroom drama, (1 1/2 million copies sold), revised it for about 1 1/2 years, and then decided it was time to get an agent. After sending many query
letters, he said he figured they must not like his book, so he began writing a mainstream novel--Code of Buddyhood.. He then recieved two or three responses to his query letters and chose an agent. The agent tried many publishers and finally said that Ballantine, a paperback division of Random House, showed interest but wanted more books. Bernhardt said Ballantine asked for treatments (gists or outlines) for three more books in the "Primary Justice" series and an outline of Code of Buddyhood. He complied, and Ballantine agreed to buy three books. Irene Martin, a UCO graduate student, quit her full-time job of 11 years to write her novel, Emerald Thorn , she said. After sending query letters to publishers with no response, she called a small publisher of nonfiction books and sold them on the idea of breaking into the fiction field with her book. She said she gave them a time limit for their response. Two weeks later they called her to pick up a

They told her how much money to ask for, but not to expect to get it, and gave her input on cover design. She said the non-traditional route was good because her participate in the final book was published, but not competition and visit the good because the small University of Texas at Austin, publisher, inexperienced with said Jones. fiction publishing, did not "I feel great and ready to go," promote the book enough. said Paparonis. "I am Martin said she sells most of determined not to be overlooked the books herself and barely and to do well." breaks even. The final decision will be Greene, who wrote Colored made sometime in March.
Paparonis up for award Elaine Paparonis, speaker of the University of Central Oklahoma student senate, is a finalist for the Harry Truman Award. The Truman Award is a federal program that awards 70 !to 80 graduate scholarships 'nationally, each worth $30,000, !said Dr. Randall Jones, faculty representative for the award. The recipients of the award may apply $3,000 of the (scholarship money to undergraduate work, said Jones. "The program awards students who are strong academically, posess high leadership skills and are in pursuit of public service," said Jones. Paparonis will leave for Austin, Tex. on Feb. 8 to

Water and Other Illusions: Award Winning Short Stories, mentioned his background in theater, advertising, journalism and editing, and said he selfpublished his books. He said self-publishing is for the writer who is independent, competitive, detail-oriented and somewhat impatient. Reasons Greene gave for selfpublishing were: total control of the project, learning from the experience, faster publishing and control of the length of time the book is in print. He explained that a word processer and a laser printer are necessary to make the page layouts camera ready for the
printer. He also said a cover can be designed with a computer and special software. Greene markets his books himself, targeting groups he thinks will be intersted in his type of books, he said. Greene said it took about a year to show any profit on his first book. After the authors spoke, they signed books and visited with the members of CSWI informally while coffee and pastries were served, and Dr. Lynette Wert, acting chairperson of the creative studies department at UCO, said new members could sign up for a $10 annual fee.

Chemistry professor strives for top skier mark again , By Michele Soh Staff Writer
University of Central Oklahoma chemistry professor, Dr. Terrill Smith, hopes to be for the second time one of Oklahoma's top recreational skiers in1993. In January, he went with the UCO Chemistry Club to the
Keystone ski resort in Colorado where he won a silver medal. Smith is one of Oklahoma's top skiers, placing for the first time in the 1992 Budweiser Challenge NASTAR competition. He received the award after skiing a pylon run at Winter Park, Colo. last September, where he placed tenth in the 60- to 65-year-old category for Oklahoma.
EMPOWERMENT THE WOMAN'S WAY
"A bronze medal was the best I had done in the race and I did not think that it was very good," said Smith. He was presented with a certificate and featured in NASTAR posters. His love for skiing began 10 years ago when he took a church youth group on a skiing trip. "I tried it out, found I liked it and since then, have been going skiing every year," said Smith
who has been with the UCO chemistry department for 25 years. The first time Smith skied competitively was with the Oklahoma Ski Club, where he won a gold medal. NASTAR is a national competition for recreational skiers. To compete, skiers have to pay an entry fee and then have their times recorded when they
run any NASTAR runs throughout the year. NASTAR takes into consideration the number of years a person has been skiing and the age of the person, said Smith. "I hope to keep on skiing as long as I can," said Smith. He wants to keep testing himself to find out how well and how fast he can ski. It is important to know your limits, said Smith.

Smoke is out and broccoli is in at the White House, Hillary says NEW YORK (AP) — Butts are out and broccoli is in at the Clinton White House. Hillary Rodham Clinton said in The New York Times that smoking has been banned entirely from the White House, just as it was at the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock, Ark. "The big issue about health is so paramount to me that I don't think we should permit smoking," she said in her first interview since her husband's inauguration. The Clintons have never smoked. White House policy previously allowed smoking in family quarters, offices, and public rooms. Since 1991, smoking had been banned in the kitchen, locker rooms and maintenance areas. As for the menu, the Bush-instituted broccoli ban is history. "We are big broccoli eaters," Mrs. Clinton said. "We do a lot of vegetables and a lot fiber and a lot of fruit." "That includes the president," the first lady added. "You know he gets an unfair rap. An occasional trip to a fast-food restaurant is not the worst of all possible sins." Mrs. Clinton gave the interview Friday on the condition that she could speak only about the first lady's household duties and not be questioned about her responsibilities in shaping health care policy.
Pat Buchanan subdued on new president's policies WASHINGTON (AP) — Pat Buchanan is back on the air, but the conservative ideological brawler doesn't have George Bush to kick around anymore. In his return to the right-wing seat on CNN's "Crossfire" program last Monday, Buchanan sounded uncharacteristically subdued. Gays in the military? This would seem to be an issue made to order for Buchanan. But he never mentioned it. Hillary Rodham Clinton in charge of the new administration's effort to reform the health care system? How could he resist that one? Not a word. Viewers who tuned in expecting to see some ideological bloodletting were disappointed, Buchanan got in a few partisan punches. "What's the difference between the new Democrats who are taxing and spending and the old Democrats who taxed and spent?" he said at one point in the forum he shared with columnist Michael Kinsley, occupant of the left-wing chair. The guests on the program were Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey and Republican Rep. Richard Armey of Texas. With Bradley sitting in, Buchanan took out after President Clinton in the opening moments of the program. "Bill Clinton said he was going to givens a middle-class tax cut. We're now going to get a middle-class tax increase," he said "Did your party mislead the American people?" But his tone lacked the scorn he often heaped on the Republican president he referred to as "King George." "Little Danny Quayle" was Buchanan's sobriquet for Bush's vice president.

Woodwind Quartet is twice the show By Theresa Coleman Student Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma's Euphonious Woodwind Quartet performed Jan. 27, 1993 at the UCO Music Building recital hall. The UCO faculty quartet has a cast of Dr. Ron Howell; Earl Hefly, assistant professor of
music; David Price, UCO lecturer; and Joe Fine, UCO alum. The premier performance in Act I was an original composition written especially for the quartet by former UCO professor, Dr. Robert Dillion entitled, "Double Trouble." Dillion designed the piece to exemplify the group's doubling capabilities. Doubling is where each of the performers change
musical instruments several times throughout the composition without any hesitation in the flow of the music. The quartet has been together four years and plays at many different events. "We've played at the Midwest City 50th Anniversary party , Opening Night and the Oklahoma Music Educators Convention," Fine said.
