esign changes and price increases have contributed to a jump in UCO construction costs. Since the last cost breakdown in August, construction estimates have increased by approximately $2.6 million. • Renovation costs of the University Center, originally estimated at $14.1 million, have increased to $14.7 million. The increase is due to the addition of Broncho Lake, unforeseen underground and asbestos problems, and the redesign of several areas, said Jean Benson, executive assistant to the vice president, and associate budget director. • The library addition, originally estimated at $9.5 million, has increased to $9.8 million. The increase resulted in money being transferred to help with the renovation of the Central Plant, planning fees, fiber V See CONSTRUCTION, Page 3

conomic factors are being blamed for the suspension of UCO's paper recycling program. Farrell Rosson, interim director of facilities management, announced the decision to end the program Jan. 22.

CO's paper recycling program is the latest victim of the budget crunch.
Facilities management can no longer afford to devote a quarter of a full-time employee's work week to collect unwanted paper and take it to the Meadows Center for Opportunity, a non-profit agency employing brain-damaged workers. Recycling may not be cost effective but it's something important we should all make a priority. Nationwide, if we recycled just half of our newsprint every year we'd need 3200 fewer garbage trucks. And recycling paper doesn't just save trees, every time a ton of paper is recycled, 7,000 gallons of water is saved. But our institutional budget can no longer bear the burden of recycling the paper—so it's filling up the landfill. However, we have campus organizations who tout community service as a priority. Among them, President's Leadership Council with the mission to help facilitate more campus activities. As UCO students, the campus is our community and an opportunity to provide a service to it should not be overlooked. Students on service scholarships should take up the slack and put in the time to save UCO's recycling program.

optic cable installation and equipment, and increased cost of construction in the Oklahoma City area. • The Business North and South project was estimated at a cost of $975,000, and has increased to $1.2 million, with the addition of a seminar room and a computer room, fire safety requirements, expanded connector size, and user requests for enhancements, said Benson.
• The Communications Building cost was increased to $743,000, from the $655,141 estimated in August. The additional money funded minor renovations, furniture, and auditorium seating. • Mitchell Hall was projected to cost $567,013, but the current revised cost is $1.1 million. "Originally we were going to put in a scene shop, but now we're putting in a
backstage crossover, new dressing rooms, stage rigging, and a fire curtain," said Benson. "We completely redid the stage area." In order to fund the additions, $500,000 was transferred from the Industrial Technology Building project. • The cost of Howell Hall, which was estimated at $5.4 million in August, has gone up to $6.3 million. The increased costs are due to the connection to the
Central Plant for heat and air, along with a new roof and restroom renovations. An additional $500,000 is still needed for the first floor, which is designed for laboratories, said Benson. The floor will be completed as funds become available. "Except for the landscaping, the only part of the building projects that will not be complete by June is the existing part of the University Center," said Jim Hurd, the architect who oversees the projects. 4
Remedies to canceled classes appease students
A
n estimated 40 sections of both graduate and undergraduate level classes were canceled this spring semester. Administrators did not make all of the decisions to drop a particular section during the first week of classes. Some decisions were made during early enrollment, due to lack of student interest, by particular department chairs and deans, who make the final decisions. A minimum enrollment guideline was established last spring by the university. For graduate level courses, the minimum number of students required is eight. Undergraduate courses need to have 12 per class, and classes of both

We have always said that if there are students in a class that need to graduate, we will have that class, or we will make some arrangement whereby the student will get that class in order to finish. —Al Lynd assistant VP for academic affairs graduates and undergraduates need 10, said Al Lynd, assistant vice president for academic affairs. "We have always said that if there are students in a class that need to graduate, we will have that class, or we will make some arrangement whereby the student
will get that class in order to finish," he said. In some cases, more than one section of a particular class is offered and they are combined into one. A student may also arrange an "irregular enrollment," enrolling and working individually with
the professor in that department. Other times, a similar class may be switched with the canceled class, to count for credit toward graduation, said Lynd. Faculty jobs are not influenced by the cancellation of classes. The only time an instructor's job may be affected is if they are a part-time or adjunct person, hired by the university to teach the particular class. "Classes were canceled this fall and spring semester," said Lynd, "but there have been no concerns expressed by students or faculty because of our ability to work around these problems." —

Recycling benefits, concerns explored I
t may cost taxpayers $75,000 a year, but all over Edmond people save and sort their paper, aluminum, glass, and other recyclables to take to the manned, city-run collection centers. Sam McNieland, superintendant of the solid waste division for the City of Edmond, said a fair percentage of city residents want recycling and don't mind paying for it. "We have received a lot of comments from citizens requesting curbside recycling," he said. The program would cost each household in the city about $1.50 to $1.75 per month. Many institutions such as area colleges and universities recycle on at least a limited basis. Oklahoma University's recycling program processed 244,000 pounds of paper last year alone, said Dr. Paul Skierkowski, director of environmental and safety services for the university. The self-supporting program funds the wages of two part-time student workers, the purchase and operation of a vehicle for collection, and the building and maintenance of a holding facility, he
said. Director of the Environmental Despite the popularity of community Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of and institutional programs like the one in Solid Waste, Michael Shapiro, Edmond and at OU, recycling has come highlighted benefits of recycling at a under fire in recent months after an conference last fall following these article entitled, "Recycling is Garbage" negative articles. appeared in The New York Times Sunday He said there are economic, social, Magazine last summer. and environmental The article, written by supporting the We have received a benefits John Tierney, refers to EPA's proposed things such as the "myth lot of comments from nationwide recycling of imminent resource citizens requesting goal of 35 percent by shortage:" It also praises the year 2005. the virtues- of the free curbside recycling.

about $1 million per acre to construct. Dr. G. Fred Lee, a groundwater quality engineer with 30 years experience in the field, said the new lined landfills are not environmentally safe, as it is popularly thought. "Today's landfill regulations evolved from the early 1980's and are badly outdated," he said. "Recycling protects groundwater by reducing the need for new landfills." Shields points to another economic benefit to recycling: The jobs that are created. "In Oklahoma, recyclable material is received from nearly 40 different states, spawning continual growth of over 20 remanufacturers in the state. "In some cases these end-users have doubled their work force in the past five years, with over 6,000 Oklahomans now employed in the industry," she said. Shapiro said the use of recycled material instead of virgin material helps conserve non-renewable resources such as petroleum and coal while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

Buildings serve as giant canvas for art students By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer
•
S
ome UCO students are showing their artistic talents thoughout the metro and surrounding area in a larger-than-life way. Dr. Bob Palmer, assistant professor of visual arts and design, decided two years ago to begin research through a form of apprenticeship, teaching his students what it takes to paint a mural. Palmer started painting murals on the sides of buildings more than 15 years ago. He said he decided to do it because he saw so many ugly buildings and thought it would make them more attractive. Murals are becoming very popular all over the United States, he said. It seems there is a big push in the arts and people have come to realize that art work can give a fresh look or a new look to an old building, Palmer said. Sometimes a mural compliments the existing architecture. "It's a fact that once a building has a mural on it, it doesn't get vandalized any more," Palmer said. Within the past two years students have helped him with seven or eight murals around the metro area. In Edmond, Palmer and his students have painted murals for the ROTC building on the UCO campus, Campus Optical and Commercial Printing. In the Oklahoma City area, they painted murals at the Frontier City theme park, White Water Bay, a building in downtown Oklahoma City and the Church of the Harvest. They also did a panel mural for a

Palmer said most building owners will pay for material and labor, adding, "We try never to work for free." The art professor said he uses books to get ideas and make sketches to show the clients. Some don't know what they want and others know exactly what they want on their building, he said. Dr. Brad Fielding of Campus Optical said he first heard about the murals through UCO President George Nigh. "Nigh's idea was to enhance the campus and surrounding businesses," he said.

The idea of a mural appealed to Fielding and after some discussion with Palmer and Nigh they decided on a theme. The mural was an idea taken from the University House with the white picket fences, Fielding said. He paid $1,000 for the job which took between two and three weeks to compete. If he ever moves his business to another old building, Fielding said he would have Palmer and his students do another mural for him.

taking notes on what kind of feedback the finished project gets. When he contracts to do the murals he asks students in his classes if they want to participate. Palmer and students work on the murals during school vacations, on weekends and evenings. Most projects take three to four weeks to do and he never begins the work until the temperature is above 50 degrees. To begin the project, Palmer uses an overhead projector at night, tracing what will go on the wall with chalk or , if there is a chance of bad weather, he uses acrylic paint. After the outline is up, he teaches the students how to mix the paint then shows them how to paint the mural. He then assigns different areas for each to work on. "I don't force any of my students to participate, they all have their own reasons for wanting to help," said Palmer. Palmer said he sees a difference in his students' self-esteem after they complete a mural. "They get energized to do bigger and better things...they think they can conquer the world at that point," he said. Palmer is talking to President Nigh about working on a mural on campus. There is a chance he and his students will be working on something close to spring break. He usually doesn't turn away anyone who wants to help. Those interested in helping on the next project should stop by his office and leave their name and number and he will call them when he plans to start.

Februar 4, 1997 ours of hard work have paid off for some UCO student actors. Three recent UCO productions were selected to compete at the Regional Six Festival of the Kennedy Center/ American College Theater Festival. The competition will take place on the University of Oklahoma campus Feb. 26 through March 2. Winners of the festival have the chance to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Angels in America: Part One will be performed at 1 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Rupel Jones Theater. Angels in America: Part Two will be presented at 8 p.m. Feb. 26 in the same theater. The Rainwater Albatross will be performed at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Feb. 28 in the Weisenhoffer Studio Theater. Region six includes colleges in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Each state held their own festival. Out of 100 entries for the upcoming festival, only eight were chosen, said Dr. Roberta Sloan, associate professor of oral communications. "Eight productions were invited to the
ALL TA 144DIVILID pro alctiolis scale his to thea rical merits festival. Four of them are from Oklahoma," Sloan said. UCO has three plays entered, Northeastern University has one. Other entrants include three from Texas and one from Lousiana. She said after reading judges' comments, she is making some changes and incorporating some of the comments to make the play better. "The main negative comment we had was it seemed at times a little jagged in
the scene changes," she said. What the judges meant, she explained, is they went to a blue x-ray look between each scene because their scenes are very actor and technician driven in that all the changes in scene were made by hand. "One comment to me was to consider combining, going from one scene to the next without taking a musical or lighting break in between, so I'm going back through the plan to see if
it's possible to do it," Sloan said. The play will go back into rehearsal Feb. 8. Angels in America: Part One will be performed at UCO again the evening of Feb. 24 and Angels in America: Part Two on Feb. 25. Linda McDonald, lecturer in creative studies, is the director of UCO's other winning entry, The Rainwater Albatross, an original play written by Keith Bowden, adjunct professor. She said using comments from the judges, some editing and rewrites were done to the play and performing at the Weisenhoffer mandates a new floor plan. "We performed in the Pegasus Theater where the stage is long and our scenes were side by side," McDonald said. "The Weisenhoffer theater at OU is designed more in a square so we have to figure out how to lay out the scenes." Sharla Cowden, region six coordinator, said tickets to the plays will go on sale to the general public Feb. 12. Tickets are $15 per play. For more information, call 325-4101. —By Joanna Owen-Clouston

UCO's Hopkins, Tuck finish with double-doubles to beat Greyhounds By D. J. Weidner
Sports Writer The sixth-ranked Bronchos defeated the Eastern New Mexico Greyhounds in a tight contest at home Saturday. The 91-85 victory is the Bronchos' seventh straight win.The first half opened with the Bronchos taking an early 103 lead. By the middle of the first half, the Bronchos had extended their lead by nine points (23-14), only to have Eastern New Mexico cut the lead to seven points by the
end of the half. "Even though they out rebounded us, the guys were able to hold on till the end of the half," said UCO Head Coach Jim Seward whose team had 16 rebounds against the Greyhounds 36 before halftime. But the Bronchos outshot the Greyhounds, netting 20 baskets on 38 attempts compared to ENMU's 14 of 45 attempts. After halftime Eastern New Mexico kept the game tight until the middle of the second half, when a steal by Caron Jones led to a Michael Mims' layup that
gave Central a six-point advantage. Greyhound Troy Anderson made a jump shot and a free throw to cut Central's lead to three points (58-55) with 12:43. Ten free throws in the last eight minutes of the game allowed the Bronchos to hold onto the lead until the final buzzer. "We knew it wouldn't be easy, because they came here to play..." said Seward, " . . . they were probably motivated by revenge, because of our double overtime (122-121) victory there
Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's women's basketball, ranked sixth in the Lone Star Conference, was knocked off by seventh-ranked Eastern New Mexico 55-50 at home on Saturday. The Lady Bronchos went into Saturday's game with a 5-7 record in the LSC and a 10-9 record overall. The Zias were 47 in the LSC and 8-11 overall. In the first half, center Angela Flynn led all scorers with 11 and had a steal and a block in 14 minutes of play. The Lady Bronchos finished the first half behind 25-23. Second half play resumed and Lady Broncho Toni Carter drives around a Zia defender in the Lady Bronchos took the lead Central Oklahoma's 55-50 loss to Eastern New Mexico on Saturday.

Camp emphasizes environmental awareness affiliated with UCO's sister university, University Popular Autonoma del Estado de Puebla. The group sponsors monthlong summer conservation camps for students from around the world. Participants work with professionals to educate the native people about saving their natural resources. "In my country, because of poverty, people kill endangered species unless they know," said Juan Rabasa, former camp participant and botanist for Pronatura, a non-profit environment organization. "We approach conservation from a social perspective. We work with the people to educate (them)," said Rabasa. Gloria Castellanos, also a former camp participant and tourism coordinator for the area, said it is hard work but very rewarding. "I like to help the communities—you live where they live, and you can appreciate how they fight for life," she said. Conservation Corps volunteers teach native Castellanos said the most children basic gardening skills at the monthvaluable thing she brought away long summer camp near Puebla, Mexico. with her was the experience of (Photo provided)

Financial assistance is available for interested UCO students through the Oklahoma chapter of the Partners of the Americas. Founded in 1964 by native Oklahoman Dr. James Boren, Partners of the Americas is a non-profit, non-political organization whose purpose is to build friendship and understanding between the Americas. Rabasa cautions those interested that there is a lot of labor involved and that anyone considering going should be in good health and able to endure rough conditions.

Medical answers abound in rain forests A few years ago, the movie Medicine Man depicted a doctor who finds the cure for cancer in a rare plant found only in a tropical rainforest, only to lose it when the area is bulldozed for timber. According to scientists, it is possible this could really be happening. The National Academy of Science estimates at least 50 million acres of rainforest are being destroyed each year. That is an area the size of England, Wales, and Scotland combined. Rainforests are home to about half of the five to 10 million plant and animal species on the globe. Scientists estimate there are at least 30,000 as yet undiscovered plants, most of which are rainforest species. Fewer than one percent of tropical forest species have been thoroughly examined for their chemical compounds, according to The Primary Source, by Norman Myers. Seventy percent of the plants identified by the National Cancer Institute as useful in cancer treatment are found only in the rainforest. The New York Times reported last year that scientists estimate at least 328 useful drugs lay hidden in tropical rainforests. Drugs used to treat leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and other cancers come from rainforest plants, as do medicines for heart ailments, hypertension, arthritis, and birth control. On

1.The Montgomery GI Bill 2. Student loan repayment 3. Part-time Income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with up to $7,124 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training. Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you'll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give us a call:
