Getting the royal treatment...
President Nigh calls it a day
T
he stage was set in the auditorium of Mitchell Hall for President George Nigh's farewell announcement. The audience streamed in by twos and threes in straight lines that radiated from every discipline on campus. Thick crimson velvet formed the backdrop for the Lucite podium etched with the likeness
of Old North. Voices joined other voices in rising layers of conversation. The supporting cast had no trouble warming up the teachers. They seemed glad to be out of the classrooms on the first spring-like day of the year. If a few minds had begun to wander, Nigh's banter quickly brought them back into focus. Like a patriarch addressing his
trusted adult offspring, the silverhaired leader joked with his audience. He spoke in parables of "moving targets," changing goals, pride for the past and hope for the future. The assembly laughed when he told of the fence in his backyard that got taller and taller as he and his neighbor fought for the last word. V'See BIDDING ADIEU, Page 5

What does our President Nigh and poetry have in common? Find out in our pages.
President George Nigh's announcement of his retirement was the grand finale of the "routine" faculty/staff meeting Feb. 8 in Mitchell Hall. (See related story above). Nigh and other administrative staff likened UCO to "a moving target" as the renovation progress redefines goals. Dr. William J. Radke, professor of biology, announced the 14 winners of the 1995 Merit Awards, which honors teachers for outstanding achievement. Terry May, assistant vice president of academic affairs, said the faculty recruiting committee hopes to fill 26 teaching positions by July 1. Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management, reported that the university is now acknowledging good news as well as bad.

He said transcripts will now indicate honors and current course enrollment. •"In the past, we had only addressed suspension and probation," he said. He added that intersession grades will be available after the grades are in and honors status is given on mailed grade reports. This May, students will be able to get their grades over the phone by using a Personal Identification Number (PIN). By fall, computer-aided selfenrollment will be here, said Legere. _Dr. Nancy Hughes, executive director of the UCO Foundation, said gifts from alumni are increasing slowly as the search for a more complete database continues. Donna Nelson, director of alumni affairs, told of a brick sale to finance the face lift of Old North. Four hundred and twenty $100 bricks will form a
sidewalk leading to Oklahoma's oldest educational landmark, she said. Farrell Rosson, assistant director of the physical plant, announced the formation of a parking committee. Student representation will include the Student Government Association. Nick Widener, executive assistant for administration and Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of institutional planning and research, reported that the construction was on schedule. Widener said he had one word to describe the construction progress: "dynamic." Police Chief Jim Roberts said parking problems had been resolved and that the campus police's focus is now on safety and security. Look for more detailed reports on these matters in upcoming issues of The Vista.

Forgive us our nerve if we may be so bold to cast a new spin on a tale halfway told:
There was an old man who lived in Japan And all he had was a skillet and a pan (See Page 4 for this to make sense) Now this old man He wanted some fun So he came to the States To revel in the sun Armed with his skillet and his frying pan he seared some bacon while he soaked in a tan Now this old man happened by chance to meet a fellow on his way to lunch He bid him well and said to his face "What do you do?" To which the nice fellow says: "I write little ditties to pass my time I have a fetish for rhythm and rhyme." The old man then got mighty excited "That's the way I feel about my pan and my skillet!" So the two fuddy duddies (and we mean this in fun) recited poetry while they basked in the sun The fellow turned smiling to the sunburnt old man "Because of your skillet and your frying pan You have given me hope for a new beginning True failure begins with the fear of trying
So I'm chucking my job As head of a school I will from now on To myself be true. For in every man A poet died young Yet my resurrection has already begun."

Student complains about nonclosure of school during inclement weather UCO is a commuter school. Doesn't the administration understand this? Classes were not canceled Thursday evening or Friday. Does the administration expect the majority of students (commuters) to risk their lives to come to class? And what about the condition of the parking lots and sidewalks when they get here? Parking is farther from many buildings than it previously was. If students make it to their classes without falling on the ice, they should consider themselves lucky. If the administration feels like
we should have class during bad weather, the least it should do is to make sure the sidewalks are salted or sanded. What's wrong? Is the budget in such bad shape that the administration can't spring a few bags of salt or sand? This has been the situation many times in the last few years. And what about attendance? The administration should instruct professors not to take roll during bad weather. I think this decision was made because many universities in Oklahoma City and Oklahoma City public schools held classes. The snow wasn't as bad in
Oklahoma City as it was in Edmond and the roads were cleared faster than the roads many UCO students travel on to go to classes. Also, as a general rule, these schools are not commuter schools. The administration of this school does not care about students or faculty. It had better wake up. What good is a beautiful campus if there aren't any students or professors to teach them? —Kimberly Rouse UCO student

LII Letter to the Editor published in The VISTA, April 4, 1995.
Interim fee should be waived on breaks
W
thout serving any food. the interim fee, $30. is an over charge to all on-campus students. In addition. if you paid late, you had to pay $5 more. Even though the UCO housing contract excludes both spring break and Christmas break, Christmas break is a monthlong vacation between two semesters, while spring break is only a one-week holiday within the semester. So, they might have some logic of charging for staying in the dorm during the Christmas break but there should not he any logical reason to charge tor staying
in the dorm during the spring break. The present resident hall situation is worse than any other year in the last five years; moreover, the campus construction makes it worse_ Increasing resident hall fees every semester and imposing different interim fees without improving the facilities in the resident halls only discourage the students to live on campus. And consequently, the number of on-campus students is going down, which also has an impact on the total number of students as well. Now, the total oncampus students is 671 out of 14,980 students, whereas in fall '94,
the total on-campus students were over 1,000 out of 16,000 students, which is the proof of this down sloping. However, if the UCO housing comes alive and takes action to improve the on-campus lifestyle, cancel any kind of interim tees within the semester and waives the Christmas break fee from the students who sign up for a two-semester contract at the beginning, it will encourage students to live on campus, which also will gear up the number of total students as a whole.

Nigh's potent mix of poetry and politics By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

listened. With exotic music playing in the background, she peered into an upside-down fish bowl and saw that the boy would someday both make and teach Oklahoma history. Her name was Effie Stanfield, and she was right. "She was my second-grade teacher, my seventh-grade teacher, my ninth-grade teacher," said Nigh. After college and the Navy, Nigh returned to McAlester, Okla., to teach alongside Stanfield. She was always the most popular teacher, he said. Reading palms while dressed as a gypsy
at Washington Grade School was only one of the reasons her students gave her an A+. Stanfield's understanding and personal involvement made her stand out as a teacher "who not only cares about the subject but also cares about the student," said Nigh. "I was good," he said, "but she was better." When Nigh set his sights on the governor's spot in 1979, Stanfield not only encouraged him but also worked on his campaign. "I can't remember not wanting to be in politics," said Nigh. Grade school political rallies would give way to successful bids for governor in 1979 and 1983, 16 years as lieutenant governor and eight years in the House of Representatives. Along the way Nigh has
collected many momentos, but perhaps none are more cherished than the one he received from Stanfield upon her retirement in the late 1970s.
that featured Nigh's poetic side was attached to a thank you note written in Stanfield's perfect script. "It was almost as if she were writing (with)in the lines," said Nigh. "It thanked me for being her student." Denying he was a teacher's pet, Nigh said Stanfield must have sent a thousand such letters to former students. Our president's illustrious offering? "There was an old man who lived in Japan and all he had was a skillet and a pan." "To this day, I'm always writing little ditties," he said. Thanks to Stanfield, Nigh President George Nigh: learned early that keeping a low A poet in our midst profile occasionally has its advantages.

the school play, but that would require him to sing—something his classmates didn't want. His teacher diplomatically pointed out that he could have an important role as Joseph, without the need to sing, said Nigh. Stanfield showed Nigh the play program, pointing out that Joseph's character was placed near the top. She convinced Nigh that it was possible to play a considerable role without having to say a word.

They applauded his plans for building campus rest areas and initiating bathroom captains to ensure the proper maintenance of the "reinvented campus." They all fell silent, however when Nigh announced that he was going to "retire as president of UCO in June of '97." "I want you to understand that I am a man in a hurry. I won't leave until I raise another $1.5 million," he said. "I don't want anyone to inherit a problem. "I want it completed in my time, on my watch," said Nigh, acknowledging that he "may be missing it by a couple of months for the grand opening."

"Other universities are using the `UCO plan' to put together their bonding issues," said Nigh. "UCO has had the terrible twos. It's been tough, but we're going to see something no other university has," he said. Dr. Jim Bidlack, professor of biology and president of the UCO chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), said he admired Nigh's decision to announce his impending retirement to his faculty and staff first.

Bronchos sweep weekend matches By Jeff Packham
Sports Editor The top-ranked Bronchos' wrestling squad won their seventh straight match in beating Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and North Carolina State this weekend at Hamilton Field House. UCO (10-5) remained unbeaten against non-Division I competition by holding off upset-minded SIU-Edwardsville in Friday night's dual, 24-13. The unranked Cougars (3-7) jumped out to a 6-3 lead when two ranked UCO wrestlers were defeated early in the match. SIUE sandwiched 9-7 decisions over third-ranked Keith Kizarr at 118 pounds and six-rated Ryan Vratil at 134 pounds around a 6-4 decision for UCO's Matt Goodson at 126
pounds. The Bronchos then won the next three matches at 142 pounds, 150 pounds and 158 pounds to stop the Cougars' momentum. Jerry Best and Shawn Bateman started off with major decisions against SIUE, including a 23-9 whipping by Bateman that included 11 takedowns. Mark Cunningham capped the run with a firstperiod pin to put the Bronchos up 17-6. The Cougars followed with a major decision in the 167-pound division to close the gap to 1710 with three matches left. UCO's Chad Drake put a halt to any chances SIUE had, however, when he won a 9-2 decision at 177 pounds to give the Bronchos a commanding 2010 lead.
The two teams split the final two matches with the Cougars winning a decision at 190 pounds and UCO heavyweight Jeff Pease scoring a major decision to close out the scoring. The Bronchos picked up their second consecutive win over a Division I team in downing N. C. State, 27-12, Saturday night. UCO won five straight matches in the dual to come back from a second-straight 6-3 deficit to overtake the Wolfpack (7-7). UCO lost the initial match at 118 pounds when Kizarr was decisioned for the second match in a row. The Bronchos split the next two matches, with Goodson winning at 126 pounds and Vratil absorbing a secondstraight upset in the 134-pound division.
Top-ranked Shawn Bateman makes his move in a recent match. Bateman, who wrestles at 150 pounds, won both matches this past weekend.

Volleyball team signs four recruits By Richard Tortorelli
Sports Writer The UCO volleyball team has signed four high school recruits for next fall, including one local player and two younger sisters of former All-Lone Star Conference players. Jamie Clark, a 5-9 outside hitter from Edmond Santa Fe High School, signed a letter of
intent to play volleyball for UCO last Wednesday. Clark was a member of three consecutive state championship volleyball teams and was an All-Stater as a senior. Clark had 222 kills, 415 attacks, 126 digs and led the Lady Wolves in blocks (70) and hitting percentage (.375) this past season. Dee Goble, a 5-11 middle
blocker from San Antonio, Texas who also signed with UCO, is the sister of former Eastern New Mexico middle blocker Jennifer Goble, who was a four-time AllLSC selection. Jennifer Steinmetz, a 5-7 setter from Mansfield, Texas, is the sister of two-time All-LSC pick Sarah Steinmetz, who will be a senior setter at Texas Woman's next season.
.
Elesceeya "Lex" King, a 5-9 middle blocker from Midland, Texas, also signed with UCO. "This is an outstanding group of recruits and we're extremely excited to have them join the program," said UCO volleyball coach Mark Herrin. The Lady Bronchos went 1720 this past season and return three starters next fall, including two All-LSC performers.
The Bronchos split pins in the final two matches, with Kyle Vandruff losing at 190 pounds and heavyweight Pease winning in the first period.

UCO hoops taste victory Men, women pull out wins over Midwestern By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer UCO men's basketball coach Jim Seward says that the Bronchos are playing much better as a team. UCO's balanced scoring in Saturday's 124-105 win over Midwestern State may have proved him true. Six Bronchos scored in double figures as UCO recorded 30 assists. Tyrone Hopkins led the way with 37 points, while Tyshon Fisher had 29 and LonDaryl Perry added 15 as the men won their third straight game and their sixth out of the last seven. "I think they're playing much better as a team," said Seward, whose team improved to 15-8 on the season. "Today I thought we moved the ball very, very well and there was a lot of touches by all the players and I know the stats reflect a great deal of balance in all phases, certainly in points and assists." In a matchup of high-scoring teams, defense played a role in the game. Midwestern State guards Damion McKinney and Jerry Perry entered the game as the Indians' leading scorers, but they combined for only 12-of-34 shooting as the Bronchos put full-court pressure on McKinney and Perry.
"I think the whole difference in the game was for us to take their guards basically out of the game and we did," said Seward. "We extended our defense, made them handle it, slowed them down a little bit and kept them out of the paint." Jim Seward UC0 took an early 11-3 lead in the game. In the final five minutes of the first half, UCO used 14-6 and 19-5 runs to break open a close game and take a commanding 67-40 halftime lead. In women's play, the Lady Bronchos' Angela Flynn and Mandy Carlson each scored 14 points in the second half as UCO defeated Midwestern State 92-88 to snap a six-game losing skid. UCO's starting frontcourt players combined to score 63 points as Flynn had a career-high 22. Carlson finished with 21 points while Christy Heavin added 20 points and 10 rebounds. The Lady Bronchos rallied from a 49-41 halftime deficit to improve to 9-13 on the season. UCO combined to shoot 57
percent in the second half and outrebound the Lady Indians 2621. Flynn blocked three shots in the game to tie the UCO singleseason mark for blocks with 37. UCO jump back into conference play Thursday against Tarleton State. The Lady Bronchos play on the road and the men's squad play at 7 p.m. at Hamilton Field House.

UCO, 8-3 last season, added Brett Manning of Lawton MacArthur, Johnnie Jones of Lawton Eisenhower Kenneth Riddle of Prague, Stan Longan of Perkins-Tryon and Jeremy Mayes of The Colony, Texas. Manningo- and Jones were quarterbacks last season, but Jones will probably switch to defensive back for the Bronchos. Riddle and Longan are defensive linemen and Mayes is an offensive lineman. UCO, who return 17 starters from last year's team, plan on signing up to 10 more players before the April 1 signing deadline.
Track and Field The UCO track and field team continued their schedule, competing in the Daily Oklahoman Track Classic in Oklahoma City. The Broncho men's team finished third in both the distance medley (10:25.95) and the 4X400 meter relay (3:22.73). Four Bronchos placed in the men's 3,000 meter run.

Experts discuss hazards of eating disorders By Gayleen Langthorn

To help sort through the ieluge of information on weight oss, two days of ecture/discussion on ransforming health through lutrition was sponsored by 20SAFE (Campus Organization for a Substance Abuse Free inviroment) during the week of Deb. 5-9 at the University Center. Dr. Randy Sansone, associate )rofessor of psychiatry at the OU 2ollege of Medicine in Tulsa Ind medical director of the 5 sychiatric Outpatient Clinic, liscussed eating power and its langers. He gave a general overview of sating disorders, supplementing t with references to actual cases le has treated. A slide )resentation traced the changing deas of body concepts hroughout history.

In the 1980s the percentage

When the blood is smeared thinly, the cells will be spread out and have room to move around.

Dr. Jim Bidlack, professor of biology at UCO, said he doubts the connection between taking the enzymes and the change in the blood sample. "The body can't digest anything fast enough to get a reaction in five minutes. Perhaps if it was injected, but not pills," he said. Bidlack also said the way blood is put on the microscope slide can affect the red blood cell distribution.

Student voices absent in SGA Writer pinpoints the "lack of information" By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer The Student Government Association (SGA) planned a "special election" this week. In fact, it's so special that SGA didn't bother mentioning it to the students. A lot has been said in the four SGA meetings this year about how the group wants student involvement and participation. The perfect opportunity for SGA to publicize student involvement arose when the decision was made to hold the special election to fill the currently vacant vice president position. SGA waited until the fourth meeting to make a decision on when and where the election would take place, even though it knew the positionneeded to be filled since last semester. The election committee decided to give candidates three days to come up with a campaign platform and the 50signature petition required to run
for the office. Dustin Gregory, president of SGA, declined to give The Vista the names of the two people who "might be interested" in running for the office. It wouldn't have mattered much anyway, considering The Vista didn't have time to run a story announcing the election because SGA couldn't decide when and where to hold it.
Column It's quite obvious that SGA doesn't think the position of vice president is important; in fact, the senators said so themselves. Speaker Keith Weber said, "There have been senators (who) have said they'd rather not have a vice president. The vice president doesn't do much anyway besides what the president tells him to do, but constitutionally we have to have one." Weber also said one of the individuals interested in running for the position is one of their
own student senators. Perhaps that explains the lack of publicity. SGA should stop whining about the lack of student participation and look in the mirror. It should realize that in order to get students involved, it has to give them a choice. SGA can't even give them information. If SGA continues on this course of "inside politics," it will soon become very stagnant. The way it's set up now it would be very difficult for students outside the organization to become involved and suggest new ideas. By the way, SGA wants students to know that the election will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 13 and 14 in the University Center and 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Liberal Arts Building. So get out there and vote! Never mind that you don't know who you're voting for, let alone anything about them. 40

A fairytale romance They gave their hearts to each other and their lives to UCO. In 1959, a female freshman named Annette Moore met a senior man named Dudley Ryan at a party in Murdaugh Hall at Central State College (CSC). Annette thought Dudley was a handsome and dashing man. Dudley said he thought she was "cute." "We met when he butted into a pingpong game I was playing with a friend," said Annette. Dudley remembers their first meeting a little differently. "We met in the hall looking for the game room," he said. He couldn't remember where they were when he proposed to Annette. She reminded him that it was in his car on Labor Day in 1965 in Cushing, Okla. The couple married Nov. 20 of that year and has been associated with UCO since. Dudley is the vice president and dean of student services at UCO and Annette works as a library technician, working primarily with old photographs at the UCO Archives. They spent 1959 together going to basketball and football games and

having dinner at Edmond's two restaurants. One night the two accidentally stayed out past the dormitory curfew. The Association of Women Students had a fundraiser called "Penny-A-Minute Night." Students could stay out past curfew at a cost of one penny a minute. Dudley and Annette confused the dates of the fund-raiser and came in too late. The next day they had to see the dean.
Annette graduated in 1965 with a bachelor's degree in psychology and Dudley received his master's degree in guidance counseling at about the same time. Dudley went on to earn a doctorate from OSU in vocational technical career education in 1960.In 1966, he took the position as director of student services at UCO and has been with the university since.
