Enrollment rates decline in state remedial courses By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer
F
ewer Oklahoma freshman college students need to take remedial courses, according to a study by Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, (OSRHE). The Annual Student Assessment Report showed a decline in remediation among freshman from 42 percent in Fall 1994 to 38 percent in Fall 1995. "UCO's declining trend among freshman remedial need is very similar to that found by the regents," said Evelyn Wilson, dean of enrollment and admission services. Statewide, transfer students needing remediation dropped from 21 percent to 9 percent. The rate is up slightly for adult students, however, from 50 percent to 52 percent, said Jeanie Edney, director of communications of OSRBE. "Remedial courses are designed to bring a student's skill level up to a college freshman level," said Wilson. The remedial subject is typically taken on a high-school level, she said Percentages for Oklahoma show students needed remedial math courses more than any other subject.
Math accounted for 54 percent of remedial enrollment, English for 25 percent, reading for 15 percent, and science for 6 percent. Remediation levels are highest at two-year colleges. One of their main functions is working with students to strengthen academic skills, said regents' Chairman Anne H. Morgan. The regents are helping highschool students prepare for college by: • strengthening college and university admission standards • increasing the number of high school courses required for college entry from 11 to 15, effective Fall 1997 • providing students and parents with a listing of knowledge students should gain by taking the 15 courses • implementing the Educational Planning and Assessment System, a feedback system to inform principals, teachers, and parents about students' skills in college • producing brochures on course requirements, placement policies, and admission standards for every Oklahoma student in grades eight through 12. This drop is an optimistic hope, said Morgan. By better preparing students for college, remediation will continue to decline in the future.

ren't perceptions interesting? Three of the six people polled in last week's campus quotes said parking was the one thing they would change about UCO. Ironically, over 1,800 parking spaces were added in the last four years. True, they're not right next to the buildings and if you're running late for a 9:40 Monday, Wednesday, Friday class—it may seem like you're training for the Boston Marathon. But maybe we don't know just how good we've got it. UCO charges $25 for parking stickers for the academic year or $15 for each semester. Compare that with Oklahoma State's $45 a year and you've got dinner and a movie. The University of Oklahoma's parking scheme is even more complex. All day permits are $78. Permits good after 3:30 p.m. are $28. Faculty and staff pay even more—$89 a year. Then they may have to walk a mile to their building. So the next time you start to complain about UCO's parking, remember it could be worse—you could be paying three times as much to walk twice as far. A

President's Leadership Council Symposium offers students chance to continues 10-year tradition
D
espite a 10-year standing, some students are unfamiliar with one UCO organization. President's Leadership Council (PLC) is a scholarship program, said Susan Thompson, the group's sponsor. "The mission of the council is to help facilitate more activities," said Thompson. The council consists of two separate scholarship awards. The President's Leadership Scholarship is open to highschool seniors. Eligibility We try not to do requirements are a too many activities 3.0 or above grade average, 21 or so that it would not point above ACT score, overlap with their involvement in three organizations organization. including an office in one or more, and —Susan Thompson Oklahoma residency. PLC sponsor Ten males and females will receive tuition payment of up to 18 hours, said Thompson. The top five males and females will receive 50 percent of their housing paid if they chose to live on campus. UCO President's Leadership Scholarship is open to UCO students who have a 3.0 or above grade point average, have completed 20 college credit hours and are involved in three campus organizations. A committee views all the applicants
and determines who will go on to the interviews. It is the committee's decision to award scholarships to the most qualified. Awardees will become a part of PLC and receive full tuition for two semesters. Both scholarships are renewable if the awardee remains active in three campus organizations, maintains a 3.0 grade point average and takes a minimum of 12 credit hours a semester. Activity reports taken three times a semester help keep track of the members' progress, said Thompson. A member can lose his scholarship if he does not fulfill the requirements. "We try not to do too many activities so that it would not overlap with their organization," said Thompson. Some projects of PLC include a trash pick-up day occurring twice a year and activities at the Baptist Boys' Ranch Town, a center for problem boys. The men in PLC take the boys out for a daylong activity. The main activities of PLC are a summer retreat for the council and two leadership workshops open to all UCO students. The spring workshop is scheduled for March 11 in the University Center Ballroom. Specific plans for the workshop have not been set.

in this year's symposium, as well
he ninth annual Liberal Arts Symposium will be held April 16. The theme for this year's event is "The Challenge." "The symposium is a chance for students to show off their accomplishments...it's evidence of (their) professional activity," said Dr. Linda Steele, assistant professor of English.

Professors are encouraged to sign up their classes to perform
as individual students, said Dr. Jan Hardt, assistant professor of political science. "We only have about 10 individual entries right now, but we hope to have several hundred," said Hardt. Hardt is the chairperson of the subcommittee for symposium submissions and said she offered her students a chance to earn extra credit 'by participating in political science debates during the symposium.

arents and teachers of young children, are important because the lessons learned in childhood are lessons for life. When I was a kid, we were taught manners instead of political correctness. But even simple manners can contradict each other, a problem we never outgrow. Chew with your mouth closed. Turn your head when you sneeze. Better yet, cover your mouth. Say please. What do you say? If you can't say something nice, don't say anything. Speak up. Keep it down. When my mother taught me how to set the table, she gave me a model for those fickle, erratic rules. "Put the forks in the order they will be picked up." OK, that made some sense. But "turn the knife so the blade faces the plate" always stymied me, until Mom explained the logic. "Good manners, like most good rules, have the same purpose—to avoid hurting yourself or others. If the knife is turned out, it might cut someone." My sisters and I had the courtesy and instinct for self preservation to wait until she turned her back to roll our eyes. We got a lot of mileage out of that one, maliciously flashing the blades of our butter-knives at each other, the victims writhing on the floor or collapsing head first between the fried potatoes and

The gentle art of political correctness...
Here she is...
SairitlieFoR
pot roast, ketchup drooling from slack mouths never again to chew or utter a thing. But I remember her point in this age of political correctness. Some grumbling is heard, especially among journalists who must keep up with such things. In a world where concepts such as being "gentlemen" or ladies" is sorely needed, we aren't allowed to use these words. On one hand, it's a pity—I love the word "gentleman" even if it is gender specific. A gentleman is kind, protective and noble, and so are many women I know, but who ever says "gentlewoman?" Should we throw out the concept just because I can't think of a feminine term that matches ? In gentleman's terms, if not political correctness, I'm willing to find ways to speak of others without hurt feelings. Yes, it changes from group to group, from situation to situation and sometimes from day to day, and yes it's worth the effort. Because it takes some thought as well as some feeling, political correctness is not a simple list of rules. It's a necessary social skill in a world that's been hurt enough. If I were a kid today, maybe my mother would have taught me to say "May I open the door for you?"

Staff Writer
O
ne of the hottest new TV shows of this year is ABC's Politically Incorrect (PI) with Bill Maher. The show, which airs weeknights at 11:40 p.m. on KOCO-Channel 5, presents parodies and cynicisms of today's government.
And now it has a site on the World Wide Web. The "PI" website is very entertaining with many features and could keep you on the computer for a couple of hours. Here are some features of the "PI" website: •"The PI poll" is changed weekly and asks users questions on just about anything. Participants can see the results on the show.
•"Just Picture It" features a weekly photo involving political figures. You can submit your own photo caption, and if it's a good one, it might be posted on the website the next week. -"PI Post Office" lets you choose from three "PI" postcards to send to a friend with a personalized message. •"Word for Word" will give you some good politically incorrect jokes. •"Speech Generator" is the most fun of
all areas of the "PI" website. Here, you fill in blanks for things such as military titles, adjectives, and destinations, and the speech generator will write a speech using your selected words. The website address for Politically Incorrect is:

Counting Crows come alive 'Round Here' By Jason A. Hill
Staff Writer
W
hile most of my life fits the early 20s, single white male stereotype, I still like to go against the grain. I am interested in things most people haven't overread, overworn, and overplayed. But, I have no interest in Counting Crows. I was not even remotely a fan of Counting Crows until Tuesday night. "Mr. Jones" and "Round Here" are two of the most overplayed songs on radio in the past couple of years (up there with No Doubt's "Don't Speak").
I still think they are somewhat overrated, but respect them like R.E.M. and Phish. The only way I can justify this newfound respect is: they do their own thing. Adam Duritz sings his songs the way he wants to. I'm still kicking myself for missing the opening act, Fiona Apple, but when Counting Crows started "Mr. Jones," they were mellow, playing a slower version of their hit single. It reminded me of The Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil" on the Dead Set album, because of the way the Crows took one of their popular songs and turned it into a great little trippy live
track. I enjoyed all of their songs, but they all felt the same. None stood out, other than the ones that have received radio play. "Round Here" is one of the songs I dread hearing on the radio, but hearing it live was different. It was obvious the song meant a lot to Duritz, by the way he languished onstage during the song. The stark image of six lime green lights forming a crescent above Duritz's bowed head during the waning seconds of the song is one to be remembered. I had never been to a concert at the Civic Center and it was different than I expected.
RESUMES
I had heard audience members weren't allowed to stand up, but found the whole front half of the music hall standing when I arrived. The last song of the set was the band's new one, "A Long December." It's too bad everyone in the audience played follow-the-leader and left right after the band walked off stage. It would have been nice to hear a rare or reworked song, like typical encores. I was going to hang around for some kind of rockin' encore, but it never happened. But, what can you expect from the same city who is trying to stop Marilyn and the boys from performing ?
