Senate concurs with request for funding

T

he Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) got a response from both the State Senate and Gov. Frank Keating to the request for an additional $83

million.

Keating recommended an additional $43 million be appropriated to higher education.

The Senate proposed higher education receive an additional $75 million.

The Senate recommended that the majority of the new funds be invested in institutional priorities such as faculty salary increases, new faculty positions, library acquisitions and lab services. The university presidents work with the Regents to decide where the money is spent.

UCO President George Nigh said, "Although I'm required by law to submit a budget, and of course I will, the real decision will be made appropriately by the new president."

Roger Webb, president of Northeastern University and Nigh's successor said, "It's too early for me to make an assessment until I've had a chance to take a closer look at the budget and UCO's needs."

Nigh Webb will take office July 1.

Nigh said his main effort for the next five months will be to make sure higher education support is increased in total dollars. He wants Webb to have more money to work with.

Agreeing with Nigh's philosophy, OSRHE's Chancellor Hans Brisch said, "Funding for higher education is an investment that produces returns. By educating and retraining Oklahoma's work force, higher education attracts new businesses and strengthens existing industries. Funds are needed for this investment."

The Oklahoma State Conference of the American Webb Association of University Professors (AAUP) said they don't think new monies appropriated to higher education should go into administrative costs.

Before adjourning May 30, the Legislature will determine the exact amount of funds to be dispersed by OSRHE during the next fiscal year.

Money would then be dispersed by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for the next fiscal year, beginning July 1.

T his is justice!" That's what Nicole Simpson's sister said 4 4

following last week's judgment in the O.J. Simpson case.

Here's a man who was acquitted in criminal court, but he's now liable for the death of his ex-wife and her friend.

How could this be? If he wasn't guilty of murder, then how could he now be responsible for the deaths?

Our system of criminal justice puts the burden of proof on the prosecution. It must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accused person actually committed the crime—and convince the jurors as well. This system makes it difficult to convict an innocent person, but it occasionally allows a guilty person to go free.

In the civil court system, jurors use a lesser standard of weighing the evidence. They don't have to be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt.

After all, less is at stake, the jury is only awarding money, not taking away the accused's life.

And life and freedom are more important than money.

Legally, Simpson is innocent. There is no way he should have to pay $8.5 million for people he didn't kill.

Pardon the pun, but put yourself in those ugly Italian shoes. Would it be fair to make you give all your money to the family of victims murdered by someone else?

NOT GUILTY. ..

Student repulsed over suspension of UCO's paper recycling program recently finished reading your cover article on the cancellation of the paper recycling program in The Vista.

After giving the matter much thought, I decided I would like to address a few points with those officials at the University who are responsible for this decision.

First, I am quite frankly repulsed by anyone who discontinues a program of this type simply because it isn't "cost effective" anymore. Recycling, as a whole, isn't a matter of cost effectiveness. Do you really think that the countless families in Oklahoma alone that try to recycle as much of their waste as possible are doing it for a profit?

Do you think that they're breaking even in the effort? No, they aren't. But you see, that's not the point.

The point behind recycling is not that it's the cost effective thing to do, but it's the right thing to do. Everyone who has that extra trash can for their aluminium, or who saves their papers for a Boy Scout newspaper drive, knows it's the right thing to do. I just wish that

/

UCO would figure it out.

Second, let's stop and consider the pattern of spending money that we've seen at UCO lately. UCO says that it doesn't have enough money to do many things that are generally considered necessary for the operation of an institution of higher learning.

For instance, many departments are constantly short of money. They can't afford guest lecturers and decent departmental libraries to support students. They can't afford to send their professors to workshops and conferences to continue their educations, and bring fresh, new knowledge and learning techniques to the students.

Not so long ago, UCO said it didn't even have the funds to provide a standard cost-of-living raise for its professors, and now it seems UCO doesn't have the money to support a paper recycling program.

However, it seems that UCO does have the money available to spend on putting in a pond and fountain by the University

Center. It has the money to plant trees all over campus (which wouldn't be necessary if they had left the original trees alone, but I digress). Let me be the first to ask, how much did those programs cost, and how many millions? Were those projects "cost effective"?

Finally, I would like to say that I recognize there are several areas that are being improved for the benefit of the students and the staff (such as the library expansion). I applaud the University for its efforts on these fronts, but that doesn't change the facts at hand. Here's the bottom line. If you can't afford to do what's right, and you can't afford to do what's necessary, then you certainly can't afford to spend money on baubles and glitter (or in this case banches and droplets). And if you can afford the fancy trimming, then you should be to afford the rest as well.

Oh, and please recycle this paper.

been the loss of study space, said library official Carol Barry.

Now, the project is nearing completion and will create some temporary inconveniences that students need to be aware of.

•The building will close March 15 through March 23 to allow for the first phase of the move into the newly completed areas of the building.

•The third-floor periodicals collection

G U A Gz,

will be moved to a new area of the third floor during the first two weeks in March.

The periodicals will be moved while school is in session, so students needing them should allow a little extra time to do their assignments during the month of March, said Barry.

Barry added that students should consult the construction update bulletin board near the elevators on the first floor to determine what areas might be more

difficult to access.

Over spring break, the reference collections and services on the first floor will be moved into the new addition, north of its current location on the same floor, she said.

"I would recommend that the students continue to rely on the library the same as always," she said.

"Just allow a little bit of extra time to find their materials."

Regents seek study on teacher supply, demand

By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

O

klahoma State Regents for Higher Education have requested a study of teacher supply and demand in Oklahoma.

Dr. Cindy Ross, executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the study will be conducted by Atlanta's Southern Regional Education Board (SREB).

The eight-month study will help Regents determine how to solve shortage and surplus problems.

The board did research of Oklahoma teachers and already has a database consisting of:

'Social security number •Birthdate 'Ethnic background 'Gender 'Institution attended 'Degree received 'Year and major of all teacher education graduates 'Type of certification "We want to go more indepth in the study," Ross said. It will include level, subject and geographic area.

Preliminary findings suggest the areas of teacher shortage are in: 'Special Education

•Foregin Languages 'Mathematics 'Science 'Speech Pathology 'Middle schools 'Minority teachers The areas of surplus are: 'Elementary education 'Early childhood education 'Business education Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of UCO's college of education, said the faculty advises students about the shortages and Elsner suggests they go into that field of study.

"If someone is wanting to be an elementary teacher and you say 'there is

an over-supply, why don't you consider something else' that student very well may make a decision not to come to college right now...they may just delay attending," Elsner said.

Some students will go into the field knowing they might not find a job right away, but there are other things they can do with the degree, he added.

Education majors may find jobs in business and industries looking for the training they have until something in the teaching field opens up.

Findings of the study will be distributed to educators through news releases, state libraries, university libraries, teaching magazines and OneNet.

Red Bud Room to be renamed to honor photographer

By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer

hotographs by a prominent Oklahoma photographer will decorate the walls of the Red Bud Room in the University Center. The restaurant's name will change to match the theme of the photographs at 6 p.m Wednesday.

David Fitzgerald, Oklahoma Today Magazine's "Photographer of the Year" in 1991, 1992, and 1993, has donated his Oklahoma II photos to UCO. The collection will have a permanent home in the restaurant which will be renamed the Oklahoma Room.

"One reason I donated the photos to UCO is because of President/Governor George Nigh," said Fitzgerald. "It should

be kind of a memorial to him too, because he helped write the text that goes along with the series. He's one of the most outstanding Oklahomans I know," he said. "Every time I'm with him I learn something else about the state."

President Nigh has designated one wall for student work, with a plan to rotate the work annually.

The first place photographs from the

"Tokens of Taos" exhibit, the first place photographs from the Campus Wide Photograph contest, and the winning photograph from UCO's David Fitzgerald Photograph Scholarship will be featured on the wall, said Dr. Woody Gaddis Jr., director of photographic art studies.

Anyone interested in photography is invited to Wednesday's ribbon cutting ceremony, he said.

The 1996 TeleFile Tax Record and Instruction book has been sent out in the mail, anyone receiving the booklet, can file a return by phone.

Computers with modems can access the IRS electronic bulletin board by dialing 703-321-8020.

Forms will come up and can be printed.

Manson message elicits mixed reactions from fans

By Joanna Hafey

Staff Writer

I

n a parking lot full of empty beer

bottles, Christians handed out messages reading "Satan does not love you!" to people dressed in black.

Fans lined up like herds of cattle and were searched for weapons and drugs as the news crews from local television stations recorded their actions.

As I drew closer to the "god" that waited inside, through the smoke I could not see, but only hear Marilyn Manson yell at the kids in black: "Your parents, your teachers, your preachers, your governor...they say you

should be in church...what they don't realize, you are in church!"

"It's all about symbolism," said Damon Cox, communications specialist for Stream International, who was trying to get a picture of Manson for a web page. Indeed, Manson pictures are hard to come by. A Vista photographer had a roll of film taken away by the band's security guard.

Manson never took his clothes completely off, like some expected, but he did strip down from an American flag to an ace-bandage with feathers glued to it, fallen-angel style. A larger flag swayed above him with the tail of the devil on it in the place of stars.

"Anything against Christianity. I don't worship Satan, I hate God," said Manson fan, Shannon Low. "He's too fake."

As they passed marijuana cigarettes, the fans chanted to bring Manson back on stage, "Manson, Manson, Manson."

He came back to the stage and yelled to the audience, "We love hate."

The fans chanted back, "We hate love."

Manson's message seemed to be that he was born into this.

In the last song it was supposed to be springtime, there were tulips woven into the microphone and fake snow fell onto the stage. He told the audience to "kill themselves now."

"People thought something was going

to happen in there, you know what happened—nothing," said Manson fan Guy Peters.

Not all fans were there to worship the devil. "I'm a Christian, this is going to be a historical event and I want to tell my kids I was here—he's going to be like...Jimi Hendrix," said Manson fan Josh Tomlin. "It would have been unconstitutional not to let him play."

It seemed many of the concert goers were only drawn by the media-hype the concert received prior to their appearance in Oklahoma City.

UCO student Kevin Omelas said, "The reason I was here is because the media made a big deal about it."

UCO inks nine football players on National Signing Day

By Phil Long

Sports Writer

N

ine in-state football players signed lettersof-intent with UCO on National Signing Day last Wednesday.

Central coming off a stellar 93 season reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs last year inked six offensive and three defensive players.

Signing with the Bronchos were: Valliant running back Greg Briley, Tuttle quarterback Jeff Douglas, Lone Grove wide receiver Jerry Gardner, Jones linebacker Luke Kerr, Western Heights offensive lineman

Dustin Koepke, Moore linebacker Ryan Poole, Coweta ofensive lineman Jeremy Reynolds, John Marshall defensive back Tony Thompson and Oologah offensive lineman Bobby Walker.

"I think we added some excellent players to the program and we're excited about having them," said UCO Football Head Coach Gary Howard. " Several of them will have a chance to come in here next fall and compete for playing time and they all will have a great future with us," said Howard.

Douglas was a two-time Daily Oklahoman Little All - City Offensive Player of the Year for the Tuttle Tigers. The standout

quarterback rushed for 887 yards and 14 touchdowns, and passed for 565 yards and five TDs. Briley was a Tulsa World AllState pick and the Most Valuable Player in District 2A-8. The seventh-leading rusher in the state last year carried the ball 303 times for 2,134 yards and 23 touchdowns and led Valliant to their best finish ever (10-2).

Walker was an Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State pick and received district Defensive Player of the Year honors last year. He is expected to play center at UCO. Koepke was an All-District 5A-2 performer last year for the Jets with 107 tackles at his defensive tackle position.

UCO track team competes against 27 in Daily Oklahoman Track Classic

By D. J. Weidner

Sports Writer

T

he Central Oklahoma track team competed against 27 other schools at the Daily Oklahoman Track Classic this weekend in the Oklahoma City Myriad Convention Center.

The Lady Bronchos made a good showing for themselves against some of the best NCAA Division I teams in the country, said UCO Track Coach Paul Parent.

The Lady Bronchos finished 15th in the 4X400 relay with a time of 4:09, just 15 seconds behind Rice, a Division I team.

Chericka Bartells finished fourth in her 60 meter low hurdles heat with a time of 9.09 seconds to place 12th in the preliminaries Freshman Mandy Sims was disqualified in the low hurdles when she tripped over a hurdle while she was leading her heat.

"Of course she is upset over it," said Parent, "but she is a freshman and she is learning.

She heard them coming and tensed up and tripped on the fifth hurdle."

While the women were chasing their Division I

competitors, the men were qualifying for finals against other Division II and junior college runners.

Josh Hallman finished eighth in the 200-meter dash prelims with a time of 23.54 seconds.

Hallman finished seventh in the final with a time of 23.04.

Stanley Ridley placed fourth in the men's 400-meter dash with a time of 50.32.

His preliminary time of 49.96 puts him in the national qualifying race, said Parent.

Ridley also placed third in the 60-meter high hurdles with a time of 8.26.

The men finished their 4X400 relay in third with a time of 3 minutes, 25 seconds.

The men also placed second in the distance medley relay with a time of 10:21.

The medley relay was made up of legs ran by: • Josh Gingrich ran the 1200meter leg in 3:14.

• Stan Ridley in the 400meter leg in 51.6.

• Paul Givens ran the 800meter leg in 1:58.

• Frankie Simon ran the Mile in 4:17.

The track squad's next meet is the Oklahoma Christian Open, Feb. 22 in Norman.

Give blood: UCO organization rallies students to help save lives GI VE

lood donations save lives. Just ask doctors who treated 3-year-old Railee Creech.

With a birth weight of one pound, the infant received 15 blood transfusions during her first months of life.

The Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) says it takes more than 1,000 blood donors a week to meet the needs of Oklahomans, and one UCO group makes it their business to help meet that goal.

The UCO Bloodhounds, a campus organization that works to promote university blood drives, will continue their winter blood drive today from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Business Building Auditorium.

Bloodhounds is the only college campus organization in Oklahoma chartered specifically to promote donating blood among students. The group sponsors four drives each year in coordination with the OBI. To encourage participation in the drives, the group organizes contests, give-aways and themes that might interest students, said Chad Jackson, Bloodhounds president.

With this drive's Valentine's Day theme, the group is offering

donors a chance to register to win a "valentine prize." Donors names will go into a drawing for prizes to be awarded at the end of the drive, said Jackson.

Prizes include free tanning, passes to Lion's Fun Park and gift certificates to Bellini's restaurant.

For information on the Bloodhounds call Chad Jackson at 330-6456.

Organizations join forces to help unemployed Group donates time, advice, clothing to job-seekers 91

By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer

B

ecause of a growing number of people entering the work force, a UCO organization is helping a ground-floor project equip unemployed men and women with the skills they need to get a job.

Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) is working with Suited for Success, a nonprofit organization designed to provide men and women who do not have professional clothing with two business suits and job search training.

Dr. Billye Hansen, sponsor of SIFE, said she contacted Susan Walton, founder of Suited for Success, after she saw her on television and "thought this organization is right in line with SIFE." People who have been out of the work force for a long time can get help with resumes, interviews, and job searches.

"With the new welfare laws, there is going to be a greater need," said Walton,

With the new welfare laws, there is going to be a greater need.

—Susan Walton founder of Suited for Success

adding that most of the clients are women.

Walton got the idea from a similar program she saw in Chicago six years ago.

She started the program in 1995, but put it on hold after she suffered injuries in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

Walton said she was "trying to beat a check" by depositing money into her

account at the Federal Employees Credit Union April 19.

The director, who is in a wheelchair, is applying for grants, looking for an accessible location and taking donations for Suited for Success.

Walton asked Hansen if SIFE could collect clothes from anyone at UCO wanting to donate and, once the program is "up and running," help with the interviews.

SIFE will solicit clothing from local businesses and hold a clothing drive on campus. The organization is discussing possible dates for the drive.

SIFE will make a written report of the Suited for Success project to enter in the Dell Laboratories Teaching America to Compete through Community Based Education category of SIFE's regional competition in April in Springfield, Mo. Judges of the competition are executives from Fortune 500 companies.

Winners of each category will receive $1,000 and advanced to nationals for the chance at an additional $1,000.

Any major can join SIPE, said Hansen.

The group meets every Thursday at 1:30 p.m. and Friday at 12:30 p.m. in the living room of Thatcher Hall.

Hansen said the purpose of SIFE is to have college students teach the community about free enterprise, gain business experience and build partnerships between higher education and businesses.

words left an indelible mark on young Hans e threat was directed at his great grandmother whi1 d a neighbor her opinion of Hitler. ing up under Nazi oppression made Oklahoma's <A* Ch.wv-llor of Higher Education "much more sensitive to the ious value of freedom of speech" in his words. aps that's why Brisch was quick to act when he hea4ome student journalists at Oklahoma colleges were being censored by administrators. As a result, he recently received the First Amendment Award from Oklahoma's Society of Professional Journalists for upholding the free press rights of student journalists.

Campus newspapers give students a forum for debate, discussion and resolution, Brisch said.

"A university is a laboratory of democracy," he said.

"Democracy doesn't come about because of the mechanics of government, but because people can participate," Brisch said. "People have a right to know what their government is doing."

Such a democracy is very different from the country of Brisch's youth.

He was born in 1940 in Kaiserslautern, Germany, near the French border. His father was a soldier and was gone much of the time.

Instead, he says he was surrounded by strong women, his mother, great-grandmother, his sister and a "gaggle of aunts."

His mother helped the family survive through barter trade. She'd trade a radio for eggs, then trade the eggs for shoes, he said.

Then life changed in May 1945 when American tanks rolled into the streets of Kaiserslautern.

"The instinctive reaction was to run," Brisch said. Tanks usually mean death and destruction. But he got a "pleasant surprise."

As his wooden shoes clicked across the cobblestones, a candy bar landed at his feetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his first introduction to America.

Brisch also remembers well his first orangeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was from an American soldier. Fruit was scarce during the war and the 5-year-old Brisch had never seen an orange before.

"When I squeezed it and put my nose to it," he said raising his hands to his face with a broad smile, "it was wonderful. It smelled so good.

"I didn't know you needed to peel it."

BRISCH continued from Page 12

Despite the bitter rind, Brisch still remembers the experience with delightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and humor.

Being five and wanting to savor the orange as long as possible, he rubbed his juice soaked fingers all over his face. When he returned home, his mother thought he had jaundice.

But the underlying message Brisch sees in the experience is one of generosity, the generosity of victors willing to give to the defeated. it of giving influenced decision to emigrate to a. pent a lot of time in the library, ted by staying warm more than ly pursuits. The German library attitude of "don't touchhing should be in its proper

mo sc ha ev place."

When he was 8 years old Brisch started visiting the American Culture House, which also had a library, but their attitude was different. When he was looking at the books from a distance, he was encouraged to take them from the shelves.

"Then she told me I could even check it out and take it home," he said, his eyes widening with the memory of excitement.

Brisch said the access to materials fueled his inquisitiveness.

By the time he was 12 years old he'd decided that he would leave Germany for America.

To earn money for his passage, Brisch worked on a ship on the North Sea. He applied for his visa in 1956 and was excited when he was invited to the American consulate in Frankfurt in January, 1957 for an interview.

Brisch left Rotterdam and arrived in Hoboken, New Jersey on April 23, 1957.

"I saw the Statue of Liberty. I saw the torch of freedom in one arm," he said.

"The other arm curled and threw me a kiss and she said, 'welcome to America."

Brisch said April 23 is still like a personal holiday to him and is much more important than his birthday, Jan. 25.

"Coming to America is one of the fondest recollections to me."

He arrived in Hoboken with two cardboard pieces of luggage and about $50 in his pocket. He didn't know

anyone in the city and "felt absolutely lost."

His sister Gisela had emigrated a year earlier and was living in Kansas City, so Brisch spent two days riding on a train to the "heartland."

He said he kept his nose pressed against the window as the train passed through the Atlantic states and into Missouri. He saw houses on stilts and delapidated towns. The images led him to question, "Is the American dream a reality for all people?"

Brisch worked as a houseboy in Kansas City. "But that was not freedom," he said.

He found he could go to high school.

In the fall of 1957 he entered East High School in Kansas City.

"It was the most exhilarating experience." But Brisch was a 17-yearold freshman in a class of 13-year-olds.

"Thirteen-year-old guys weren't interested in some 17-year-old oaf," he said. Most of his friends were girls.

Brisch joined ROTC and volunteered for flag detail.

"I got to wear the uniform, I didn't have much else to wear."

He remembers high school as an exhilarating experience. His math teacher, Miss Flynn, "taught him his eyes were as good looking at his paper as his neighbor's." He finished high school in two years.

While in high school, Brisch worked as a dishwasher at the Forum Cafeteria at Tenth Street and Main in Kansas City. But he wanted to do more with his life than that.

A physics teacher, John Layman suggested he think about Park College.

One of his first impressions about Park came from the evening dinner faculty and students would have together. Students would argue with one another and the professors.

"What? You can question authority?" Brisch thought.

On his first night at the dinner, all the students had on nice blazers, but he only had a windbreaker.

Another student left the serving line and came running back a few minutes later with a blazer for Brisch to wear.

This and other experiences of people reaching out to help him shaped Brisch's philosophy of wanting to give something back and influenced important decisions.

To finance his college education, Brisch sacked groceries at Safeway.

About the same time he was

We can't set ourselves up in an ivory tower.

We are part and parcel of the whole education process.

Brts Staff photo by Meredith Jordan finishing his bachelor's degree in political science at Park College in Kansas City, Mo., Safeway offered him a management position. But he chose graduate school instead.

Safeway's district manager, Mr. Olsen, tried to talk him out of the decision.

"Now Hans, I respect your decision, but I don't like it."

He went on to tell Brisch that he could work all his life in higher education and if he was lucky, he'd get a gold watch when he retired. But if he stayed with Safeway, he could live comfortably..

As chancellor of Oklahoma's State Regents, Brisch is the highest paid state employee, earning $163,000 a year.

Brisch obviously considers education a key to success. He points out that the Forum Cafeteria no longer exists.

"You can't structure a life on that."

Brisch thinks education has an important part to play in welfare reform.

"We in higher education can step forward and use intervention to open doors," he said, referring to the

Regents' new plan of offering GED preparation at several colleges.

But he said personal responsibility has a large role to play also, especially for students.

"Students have a unique opportunity to shape the future," he said.

"We can help you, but you have to pitch in," he said. "This is a stepping stone to move forward."

He said from an ethical and moral standpoint we need to provide opportunities for education.

"That doesn't mean a free ride, but we need to make sure there is an opportunity."

He sees the biggest challenge facing higher education in the future as one of accepting responsibility.

"We (in higher education) can't set ourselves up in an ivory tower," he said. "We are part and parcel of the whole education process.

"We need to be mindful of working together as a team, keeping the doors of opportunity open." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By Gayleen Langthorn
