Lillard to close door President to become traveler, author
By Sam Powell Staff Writer
Two University of Central Oklahoma faculty members were selected last week as finalists for the position of university president, sources said. Former Gov. George Nigh and Dr. Frank Wert both confirmed Friday that they were part of a final field of 11 candidates. The 13 member selection committee had pared down the original field of 61 last week, and mailed letters of acceptance and rejection. In an article printed Feb. 4, The Edmond Evening Sun said committee chair Belva Howard refused to name other finalists. However, Howard did say that approximately 60 percent of the remaining candidates are not Oklahoma residents. That may indicate that three or four of the final 11 are from Oklahoma, but The Vista had no confirmation that any candidates other than Nigh and Wert were from UCO. Originally the committee was to select 10 candidates, but there was a large gap separating 11 applicants from the remaining 50, Howard said.

An official from the state attorney general's office said there had been a question as to whether Nigh could be a candidate because he appointed three of the current nine regents. Wayne Salisbury of Clinton, Valree Wynn of Lawton and Belva Howard of Tulsa were all Nigh appointees. The official said the Oklahoma Chapter of the American Association of University Professors had inquired as to the legality of the situation, and the attorney general's office had decided not to respond. One selection committee member, who requested that his name not be used, said he would not reveal the finalists identities, but that Nigh's honesty should not be questioned. "Although I can't comment on any individual applicant, I have no problem whatsoever with someone questioning an applicant's qualifications," he said. "But when someone questions the integrity of the applicants I have a problem." He said the committee had completed its task and would not meet again. See Selection, back page

Dr. Bill Lillard said he will be closing the door on a long and distinguished career as president of the University of Central Oklahoma this summer, and opening a new door as a world traveler, author and media personality. As he sat in an office steeped in almost two decades of memories, he discussed plans to see the Far Fast and England. "We want to do some traveling," he said. "It won't be like having to get back to the office because the work is piling up." "We want to continue these experiences," he said. "It's wonderful to walk into Victoria Station and say 'This is where Churchill and Ghandi used to leave from.' I would like to go to Malaysia and Singapore. It was where Hemingway used to hang out and do some of his writing." Lillard said he enjoyed his job and had never seen a day when he did not want to go to work. He said he feels that watching a student grow into a well-educated citizen is the most rewarding career a person can pursue. And he isn't going to stop now, he said. "I don't want to retire and just do nothing for six months," he said. "I plan to do some writing, basically dealing with court ordered integration of public schools, and maybe some radio and television shows in the area of education." Lillard said his experiences in education and administration have prepared him to be an authority in his field. He was superintendent of Oklahoma City schools longer than anyone, and his tenure at UCO has spanned 17 years, more than any other president. Lillard said many things have happened during the last 17 years that he is proud of. He said professors salaries are now comparable to the state's comprehensive universities, but at one time they were the lowest in the regional system. He is also proud of the fact that when he came to UCO it was a university composed of schools, but now it is made up of colleges. He said it is important for a university to have the proper nomenclature. He said the new name has been a change for the better in most people's eyes. "The reaction that seems most positive is the recent name change," Lillard said. "When you say Central Oklahoma most people know what you are talking about. You don't even have to say 'university. Lillard said he feels one of his major contributions has been to relieve the school of a large portion of its debt. "Last year during our centennial year we paid off all of our bonded debts," he said. "This is very unusual for a growing university. Most people don't realize that the state doesn't pay for residence halls and the University Center. "I can say when I step out that I didn't leave you in debt." V

Academics need national attention
W
hen it comes to academics, America, once a nation of intellectual giants, now seems to be the world's big loser. In a recent survey conducted by the Educational Testing Service, and sanctioned by the National Science Foundation, the United States scored lower in math and science than more than a dozen other countries. Even Slovenia, a non-country that has been embroiled in civil war for more than a year, scored higher than America. The reason the country is failing is because America has become obsessed with being entertained and has forgotten how to think. Our heroes are sports figures who do not ever grow up, celluloid cretins who kill with reckless abandon, and video-game fantasies. In Korea when a student achieves academic excellence classmates stand and cheer. In America academic achievers are labeled dweebs and nerds. But dweebs and nerds are the people who can make America a world leader. If the United States is to compete on a global basis its people must stop worshipping video gods and sports heroes with feet of clay. The real winners, the real heroes, are students who aspire to greatness in the classroom.
Parking problem still 'timely' issue
A
sk students on UCO's campus what upsets them and most will quickly mention the parking situation. There may be parking five to ten minutes from campus, but students want centrally located, convenient parking. Plans are now in the works to build a parking garage, but we need a short-term solution. There is one way to free up parking spaces during the afternoons when many students are doing outside class and lab work. By changing the time students can park in staff and faculty spaces from the current 5 p.m. deadline to 2 p.m., this would free up many conveniently located, halfempty staff parking lots for part-time student employees and students doing research and homework. This would provide the quick fix students are looking for, save campus police the feeling of being total jerks by putting tickets on cars in a deserted lot, and not cost the university a cent.

Television: the great wonder? elevision, the wonder of the ages. Great invention (sarcasm). The average American spends seven hours a day, I repeat, seven hours a day watching television. Pretty darn amazing, is it not? That's 2,548 hours a year. That turns out to be a little more than 106, 24 hour days. With time like that, I could read every book that I've ever wanted, and then some. And people waste that time watching television. I admit it, I like to watch "Star Trek." That's three hours of television. I watch an occasional episode of "Northern Exposure," "Quantum Leap" or "Saturday Night Live." At the most, I watch 10 hours of television a week. Seven hours is a more honest figure. This is the visual age. If there's a best-seller, a movie has either been made, or is in the making. Who needs to read when we can just turn on the technological idol and worship it?
T
Little kids come home and watch the Mutant Turtles or whatever, high schoolers turn on MTV (Mindless Television) or soaps, and they vegetate. Plus, an invention called the remote control allows us to sit back and change channels without exerting ourselves. Ah, the wonders of technology. What would we do without television? Our ancestors must have been bored out of their minds without moving pictures. In "The Closing of the American Mind" by Dr. Allan Bloom, the author addresses the problem of television and radio and how it has affected the youth of today. It's a damn good book and I highly recommend that you all read it. Now let's talk about the positive aspects of television. The obvious plus is education. PBS is a great educational channel. HBO, Cinemax and Showtime are great for sex education. Of course there are news broad-
casts. You get the news faster and quicker than a newspaper, but it's shallow in comparison. I'll admit, without television, this country would not be as advanced as it is. Computers, videophones (coming to an AT&T outlet near you), "Star Trek" and historical programs like "The Civil War" are all products of television. But doesn't the fact that 60 percent of our population did not buy a book last year bother you? It scares me. It scares me as much as illiteracy does. It scares me that the next generation won't even look at a book, but will wait for the movie version first. Read. Watch television if you want to, but read. Reading expands the mind. Whether fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, fantasy or Danielle Steele, I don't care. Just read. V

While teaching at UCO, Wert won a Senior Fulbright Scholarship to Jordan in 1981. In 1988, he was a visiting professor to the People's Republic of China. He came to UCO with a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Iowa, and both a master's degree and a doctorate in economics from Colorado State University. "He understands the university culture from the inside," Fortenberry said. "His academic credentials are impeccable." The fact that Wert is a proven scholar and leader is what he said

sets him apart from the other candidates. Because of this, he said he is sensitive to feedback from faculty and administrative members. Wert said he wants the job because he sees UCO as a major force in the region, with potential for substantial growth and influence. "UCO's future is bright," Wert said. "Our classrooms are full; our physical facilities are overflowing." Wert added that he would look for sources other than the state budget to finance UCO's future growth. V

UCO debate team brings home awards By Stephanie Hugo
Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Debate Team recently competed in a five state tournament, consisting of 29 teams, at Central Missouri State University, in Warrensburg, Mo. The six member UCO team defeated Missouri Southern College in the Top 16 finals, but later lost to Southwest Missouri State University in the quarterfinals. Fourth place awards were given to Wayne Harrel, a senior, Cornanche; and John Fuller, a sophomore, Edmond. Angela Fitzgerald, a senior, Comanche; and Alan Mihecoby, a sophomore, Fletcher won awards for fifth place. Fitzgerald was named one of the outstanding individual speakers at the tournament. "Most of the schools that participate in the tournaments come from Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Missouri, although we do plan to fly to the University of Nevada in Las Vegas and to the University of Miami in Florida," said Doug Duke, UCO debate director.
Doug Duke The UCO debate team's topic for this semester is "Resolved: that advertising degrades the quality of life in the United States." "The UCO debate teams are researching the positive and negative effects that advertising has on people," Duke said. The team is getting ready for the next tournaments that will be held at the University of Missouri at Kansas City and the University of Oklahoma. The next tournament is scheduled for Feb. 7 through 10, Duke said. V

Garbage continues to fill wastelands By Angela Mitchell Student Writer The nation's garbage pile has grown 80 percent since 1960, and that percentage is steadily rising, said Brenda Weiser, a spokesperson for the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. Weiser spoke to the "Problems of Today's Consumer" class in the Home Economics Building, at the University of Central Oklahoma, Feb. 4. Weiser said her main focus was to educate and inform the class that everyone can make a difference in the environment. "I grew up on the gulf coast in Texas. I am more aware and sensitive to the environment because I have seen the ocean and the environment, in general, contaminated," Weiser said. "But it's not just happening in Texas. It is going on just as much here in Oklahoma." Weiser, along with several college students, conducted a water quality test with water from the Illinois River. Weiser tested the water upstream and downstream from a wastewater treatment plant. She said the results showed the upstream water was clean and full of fish, but the downstream water was contaminated. "Along the sides of the river, dowstream, were used syringes, condoms and diapers. That was the water that had already been treated. Can you imagine what it was like before?," said Weiser. Weiser said people should not use the toilet as a garbage disposal. Items such as cigarette butts, Q-Tips, tissues, cotton balls and plastic tampon applicators should not be flushed down the toilet. The items clog the sewage treatment plants and require more energy. Instead, consumers should recycle or dipose of them in a trash sack or bag, she said. Weiser said the earth can be
preserved longer if everyone follows the Four R's: Recycle, Reuse, Repair and Reduce Consumption. Recycling everything that is re cyclable, such as old newspapers.. magazines, aluminum and plastic helps to reduce the amount of waste, she said. Every hour, Americans go through 2.5 million plastic bottles and then throw them away, she said. Repairing large items such as furniture, cars and trucks also helps to reduce waste. Each day, Americans throw out 20,000 cars and 4,000 trucks and buses, Weiser said. "To be environmentally conscientious everyone must follow every step. If you just recycle, you're only starting the cycle. We must all follow up and do the other three," said Weiser. "Finishing the cycle may be the most important part." V

Disqualified! Matmen robbed of giant victory ,
UCO cagers dispose of Lions
From staff reports
(Men's results) Central Oklahoma 112, East Texas State 96 Central Oklahoma's men's basketball team won its 16th-striaght home game Saturday night as the Bronchos disposed of Fast Texas State 112-96 before about 1,000 fans in Broncho Field House. Edmond native Reggie Evans scored a team-high 24 points for UCO, including six 3-pointers and seven assists. The Bronchos, now 17-5 overall and 6-2 in the Lone Star Conference, shot just 49 percent from the field, as did the Lions who fell to 6-17 and 0-7 in the league. Six Bronchos scored in double figures, including team scoring leader Alex Wright, who averages 26 points a game. Wright was limited to just 19 points on Saturday and only one 3-pointer. UCO has struggled lately rebounding, but the Bronchos out-boarded ETSU 51-32, led by Rodrick Gregoire's 10 caroms (six offensive). He also scored 18 points, including five-of-six from the free throw line. Overall, UCO shot a sizzling 83 percent from the charity stripe (15 of 18), compared with just 70 percent (16 of 23) for the visitors. The Bronchos established control early, streaking out to a 10-2 lead. The margin reached 24-8 at the mid-way point of the first half, and UCO led by 16 at the half, 50-34. ETSU never drew closer than 12 down the stretch, and the Bronchos slowly built a 20-point, 84-64 advantage. A 14-1 run with 4:56 left gave UCO its lead of 29, 106-77. Broncho reserves allowed the Lions a 21-6 run to end the game. (Women's results) Central Oklahoma 67, ETSU 57 Junior center Ton'Nea Cox scored a game-high 20 points and added 19 rebounds as Central Oklahoma's women topped Fast Texas State 67-57 Saturday night in Broncho Field House. With the win, the Lady Bronchos improved to 12-7 and 7-1 in the unpredictable Lone Star Conference. The win also placed UCO in a tie for first place in the league, due to Texas Woman's 52-51 upset of league leader Abilene Christian Saturday afternoon. "It's just fantastic," coach John Keely said. "I thought the kids played really hard. We had too many turnovers and didn't shoot the ball well. "Ton'Nea's really coming along. Her rebounding and scoring really helps. We had four people in double figures. That's what we've got to have -- overall balance." Jana Flanagan contributed 15 points as well for UCO, including three treys, and Kim Martin added 14 and 13 points, respectively. UCO fell behind 13-2 early but tied the score at 22 apiece with 6:47 remaining and led at the half, 31-30. V UCO shot only 38 percent from the field, but ETSU was hardly better at 39 percent.

It just wasn't meant to be. Central Oklahoma's top-ranked NCAA II wrestling team, bidding for its first-ever perfect season, saw 18th rated Division I Oklahoma pull out a controversial 17-16 decision Saturday. The Sooners, trailing 17-11, were awarded a disqualification with two seconds remaining in the heavyweight match, and the Bronchos had a team point deducted when attempting to discuss the call with referee Bruce Hubbard. That made the team score 17-17 before UCO head coach David James was hit with a one-team point deduction. "The kids did everyting they could to win the match and had it taken away from them," James said. "I couldn't be more proud of the way we wrestled and the way we conducted ourselves, but it didn't pan out. "I know one thing: the University of Central Oklahoma outwrestled the University of Oklahoma tonight.

Edmond city seal under scrutiny EDMOND, Okla, (AP) - City Manager Max Speegle says he has learned the American Civil Liberties'Union may file a lawsuit against the city over a Christian cross that is part of the city seal. Speegle said Wednesday he learned of the possible lawsuit through a copy of a letter by an attorney who does volunteer work for the ACLU. He said the city attorney is researching the issue. The seal was adopted in 1965. Oil wells, a wagon depicting the land run of 1889 and a landmark on the University of Central Oklahoma campus also are depicted. "Municipal governments should avoid promoting religion or the establishment of religion," Speegle said. He said he wasn't sure what the cross represents. The copy of the letter about the seal is being placed in agenda packets for the Edmond City Council meeting.
Bart Binning, selection committee member and UCO decision sciences instructor, would not name any of the candidates. "The newspapers have said that Nigh was a finalist and that's all I can comment on," he said. The committee used ten criteria to narrow the list of applicants. Those criteria included a doctorate
NEW YORK (AP) - Three out of four Americans believe there was an official cover-up to keep the public from knowin g the truth about John F. Kennedy's assassination, according to a poll reported on the CBS News show "48 Hours." In the CBS-New York Times poll results released Wednesday, the number of people who believe in a cover-up increased from 61 percent in a similar poll in 1988. The poll takers said the increase could be attributed to people who had seen Oliver Stone's movie "JFK," and to adults under the age of 30 who are too young to remember the assassination and have been skeptical about the theory that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. The poll was based on telephone interviews Jan. 22-25 of a random sample of 1,231 adults. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Pee-wee drug video out soon SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - An animated anti-drug video produced by actor Paul Reubens, better known as Pee-wee Herman, will soon be distributed to television stations across the country, his probation officer said. Reubens made the 30-second TV spot to fulfill a community service requirement in a plea agreement on indecent exposure charges. The video has been viewed by Sarasota County Judge Judy Goldman, who had ordered Reubens to make the TV spot and pay a $50 fine, plus $85 in court costs, said Pat McCabe of the Salvation Army corrections office, which monitored Reubens during his four-month probation. "We reviewed it with Judge Goldman and the state attorney's office, and it met with everybody's approval," McCabe said Wednesday. "It's very enjoyable. It's extremely well done."
Gorilla loses toe in lover's spat CLEVELAND (AP) - Katie, a lowland gorilla whose mate was switched over the objections of animal-rights activists, got into a fight with her new beau and ended up losing part of a toe. Oscar bit Katie on Thursday, and part of her toe had to be amputated, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo said. Zoo officials said tussling, biting and hair-pulling are normal gorilla behavior. Katie was separated from her old beau, Timmy, in November after 13 blissful months. Timmy was sent to the Bronx Zoo in New York to mate with a gorilla there. Katie and Oscar are infertile. Oscar was sent from Topeka, Kan.
