With the recent revision of the Faculty Handbook, University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh made good on his promise to act on the Faculty Senate's proposals. Nigh returned five Faculty Senate proposals with his OK last week, disapproved of one and is expected to address the remaining eight by next month. The proposals were passed through the Senate during the last academic year, but Nigh said he wanted to wait before acting on the recommendations until the handbook was revised. The new Faculty Handbook was released to the full-time faculty earlier this month in loose-leaf form so additions could easily be inserted. Faculty senate proposals are forwarded to Nigh where, if approved, they become university policy. The proposals approved by Nigh include an honor code, a written policy for department chairpersons, support for faculty empowerment and how the Faculty Handbook is handled. Subject to legal council and regent approval, the approved proposal for a Student Honor Code will place a statement on the Admission I See SENATE, Page 6

he recent scare caused by a man making a threatening and unauthorized appearance at a University of Central classroom has some students asking how it could lave happened, and what UCO officials and campus police can do to prevent that kind of incident from happening again. At the same time, the parents of 3-month-old Brandon Baugh, murdered by a babysitter and buried in a shallow grave, are asking the same thing of Texas officials, where the crime took place. Sadly, unlike the shoot-cm-up westerns of yesteryear, there is no way to tell the good guys from the bad guys in today's world. Everyone — heroes and villians, barons and barkeeps, desperadoes and damsels in distress — now adopts an individualistic attitude concerning their appearance. The intruder in Susan Fen- ee's class was described by one student as "dirty," and was intoxicated, according to police. While there was some cause for concern, apparently the man only wanted to tell the students, "Stay in school. Don't make a mess of your life like I have mine." Words of a hero, trapped inside a villianous body. And Cathy Lynn Henderson — the baby sitter accused of murder — had "very, very good" personal references according to the baby's parents. "We trusted her," the father, Eryn Baugh, said of the woman police describe as smug, uncaring, and a cold-blooded killer. Until people in American society stop judging others on faulty, preconcieved "good guy-bad guy" appearances and start looking inside themselves for answers, nothing can ever prevent those sorts of things from happening again. Or as County Sheriff Terry Keel, one of the investigators in the Texas baby's murder puts it: "Human beings live among us who are capable of comitting capital murder, and bad guys don't wear black hats."

Reader says no 'excuses' for column
T
his is in response to the
"Terri's 2 cents" col umn in the Feb. 8 issue of The Vista. Terri, In your article about not letting children become excuses you stated, and I quote, "I don't have any excuses." As such, do you really consider yourself to be an accurate judge of what goes through the minds of people who question the well-being of the children when they take a stand on an issue? I normally do not take your column very seriously, but I find this column especially offending. I would like to point out to you that
in today's society, not all families are able to spread themselves out as thin as you would like. I, in particular, happen to be a single parent juggling school, two jobs and a preschool-age child. In your opinion I should be able to monitor everything that my child sees and hears, as well as teach her right and wrong. Well, Terri, do I have permission to take a shower? Oh, I'm sorry, I guess I should do that only when my child is asleep or is at school. I guess I can schedule that in. But Terri, what, pray tell, happens when I have to go to the bathroom, or the doorbell rings, or some other small
detail prevents me from monitoring my child for a few minutes. Should I not be able to find a few moments solace without fear that my child will flip a channel on the television and be confronted with violence, nudity or profanity? I guess not, since even you cannot write a column without unnecessary profanity. This letter is not to argue today's political issues with you, but to remind you that an opinion is only valid when the person is informed. You are not, you haven't any "excuses." -Monee Murray UCO Student

Children can be happy riding in car seats, but some parents have the misconception that they can't get their child to stay in the safety seat or wear a seat belt, the Health Department stated. The Health Department suggested placing an infant in a car seat every time he rides until the child is old enough to use a seat belt. Also, parents should always use car seats or seat belts, so children will not get confused. Children will be more content if they can see out the window. Toys can also be used to keep the children busy during car trips. Parents should be firm if children try to get out of their car seats or seat belts, the Health Department stated.

Frat collects food, gifts for quake victims By Stan Wagnon Student Writer California earthquake victims are receiving a helping hand from the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Santoro said the ATO members distributed fliers a week ago to all households in their neighborhood telling of the food drive to help the earthquake victims. The fliers notified the people in the neighborhood to leave donations on their porches so that ATO members could collect and take the gifts to Feed the Children.

Oklahoma ranks 6th in heart disease, state health commissioner says Representative snuffs at members dipping tobacco on House floor OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Rep. Gary Stottlemyre admits his move for a House ban on snuff-dipping was tongue in cheek, so to speak. But he says he was trying to make a point about fairness, too. Stottlemyre, D-Tulsa, rose Thursday to demand that "sipping, dipping and sniffing snuff" be included in a House resolution that extended the House floor ban on smoking to committee rooms, a lounge and one of two foyers off the chamber. "I smoke, and I just think they should make it fair for everybody." he said later. Stottlemyre said he also was trying to protect fellow House members from the gross-out risks associated with associating with snuff users. "Everyone carries these cups around — set one of those down and you pick it up thinking you've got yourself a cup of coffee ..." he. said. House members adopted the amendment by voice with several dissents, and later passed the resolution 96-0. But their clean-air move stopped at tobacco, despite Rep. John Monks' apparently spontaneous bid to ban perfumewearing participants from committee rooms at the discretion of the committee head. House Speaker Glen Johnson looked stoic later when asked if the snuff amendment was an example of the pressing issues that legislators cited when they argued for a quick resolution to impeachment-related resolutions against Gov. David Walters.
Fumes from pot of beans kills girl in rare case of allergic reaction ROYAL OAK, Mich, (AP) — Fumes from a pot of cooking garbanzos killed an 8-year-old girl who was allergic to the beans, her doctor said. Nita Sekhri was at a friend's house Sunday when she inhaled mist from across the kitchen, Dr. Mark Goetting said Thursday. She had many food allergies. "It was a fluke," Goetting said. "It's something no one could have predicted.' Nita's medicated inhaler wasn't enough to combat the reaction. She went into a coma and died Wednesday. Dr. John Yunginger, an allergies expert and pediatrics consultant at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said fatal reactions from allergies are rare and death by fumes happens even less often. Each year, about 50 to 100 people in the United States die from allergic reactions, mostly from foods, he said. Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are tossed in salads and often ground into a paste for humrnus, a popular Middle Eastern dish.
Study shows women who smoke run higher risk of broken bones BOSTON (AP) — Women who smoke run a higher risk of broken bones because smoking reduces bone density, a study shows. Experts have long noticed a link between cigarettes and broken bones, and new research suggests that smoking robs the bones of their mineral density, making them more likely to fracture. Researchers based in Australia said the work "provides compelling evidence of an association between smoking and reduced bone density in women." Other studies have found similar links between smoking and fractures in men. However, brittle bones — what doctors call osteoporosis — are a much greater health hazard for women than for men. In an editorial published with the ,latest work in today's New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Charles W. Slernenda of Indiana University recommended that doctors tell smokers about the damage they are doing to their bones. Cigarettes' health hazards have already been welldocumented. They are the overwhelming cause of lung cancer, which is Americans' leading cancer killer, as well as an important trigger of heart attacks, the country's foremost cause of death.

Exercise and a healthy diet can reduce the risk for heart disease, said Adeline Yerkes from the Oklahoma State Department of Health. February is American Heart Month, and the Health Department is trying to make the public aware of the effects high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, smoking and lack of exercise have on the heart, she said. "Oklahoma ranks 6th in the nation for coronary heart disease among adults, and many Oklahomans are not aware of their risks to heart disease," said Thomas Peace, state health commissioner. Moderate exercise is conducive to lowering the risk for heart disease. "Three to five days is considered sufficient to reduce heart disease," Yerkes said. Forms of exercise recommended are brisk walking for 45 minutes a day, aerobics for 45 minutes three times a week and swimming for 20 minutes three times a week, she said. "Nationally, only 28.7 percent of Americans do not exercise while

Smoking is harmful because it restricts the elasticity of the vessels, so blood doesn't flow as easily and puts pressure on the heart, Yerkes said. Overweight individuals are at risk because they generally have a fatty diet and don't exercise, she said. About 22.7 percent of Ameri-

cans are overweight, and approximately 23 percent of Oklahomans are overweight, the Health Department reported. Individuals who suffer from hypertension or high blood pressure can be treated with antihypertensive medication. At least 100 types of anti-hypertensive drugs are available, Yerkes said. Hypertension is also known as the silent killer because there are no symptoms, so people should have their blood pressure checked regularly, the Health Department said. A high blood cholesterol level can also increase a person's risk for heart disease, the Health Department stated. A person's cholesterol level should be 175-180 mg/dL. If the blood cholesterol level is 200 mg/ dL or higher, it can be reduced by exercising or eating a healthy diet, Yerkes said. The University of Central Oklahoma Student Health Center does not have the facilities to conduct cholesterol tests, but students can have their blood pressure checked at the center, said Susan LaForge, the Health Center director.

Kindness, respect needed Last week a local television station ran a feature on its evening newscast called "Fat Like Me." Reporter Suzanne Steely, a thin woman, put on a padded suit which approximated the dimensions of a fat person and went out into society to see what it was like. She was surprised by the reaction she received from, so called, "normal " people. The derisive laughter, stares and just overall rudeness. It didn't surprise me; I've seen things like that before. There seems to be a need in human beings to find something about someone else to ridicule. And if they can't find something, they'll make something up. Whether we want to admit to it or not, it is the nature of the beast. That is the root of every prejudice. Since ancient times, people have spent their spare time trying to identify what is unacceptable and destroying it. We need to find as many people

Form specifying that academic dishonesty or alteration of university records will not be tolerated and may result in expulsion from the university. The university's policy on academic dishonesty would also be placed in student handbooks and catalogs. Nigh did not agree with a Senate proposal which would eliminate the posting of mid-term grades. Proposals Awaiting Approval Proposals from last year now facing Nigh include Adjunct Faculty Evaluation which would add a section to the Faculty Handbook that would provide for a full-time faculty member to assist the department chairperson in evaluating the classroom performance of adjunct faculty. Another proposal facing Nigh calls for up to 15 hours per semester in tuition waivers for faculty, staff, their spouse and dependents. Faculty teaching schedules currently face Nigh in the form of a proposal which would add to the handbook: "Full-time faculty shall not be required to teach more than five days per week during a semester." A Faculty Peer Coaching proposal would establish procedures for faculty to aid their peers in classroom instruction on a voluntary basis. A Faculty Search Procedures proposal would bring into line the selection of faculty with the procedure for the selection of departmental chairpersons. A Proposal for Definition of Full-Time Voting Faculty for Department Chairs awaits Nigh's approval. This describes procedures for the selection of departmental chairpersons and who may vote. Promotion and Rank Limits is proposed to Nigh and states "Remove all restrictions limiting the maximum number of faculty positions at any particular rank employed by the university."

UCO comedian has heart set on success By Emilee L. Truelove Guest Writer Look out Robin Williams and Jerry Seinfeld. The University of Central Oklahoma is about to unleash a fresh, young character in the dog-eat-dog world of showbiz. Four-year UCO acting extraordinare, Matt Boethin, is graduating this spring with an oral communications, theatre degree. "Balcony Scene," the last lead of his UCO stint, is a three-person play set on Chicago balconies. The play will run March 10-13 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. Also this spring, he will play in UCO' s pro, duction of "Hamlet." Graduate school may be in Boethin's future, or he may try the daring side of the biz and move to London. "I'll probably work at a pub while taking acting lessons and auditioning on the side," said Boethin of the possible London move. "The only way to get started in the business is by auditioning, working and probably starving for a little while," he continued. His resume is loaded with summer internships atDiscovery Land, the Music Theatre in Wichita, Fiesta Texas and many more. Next on his agenda is an audi-
tion-packed trip to Chicago. He said he will audition five days straight for roles in Chicago theaters. Boethin says he will do what he has to, but comedy roles come more naturally to him. During his career at UCO, he has had the leading role in six productions, winning the first his freshman year. He has been involved in 14 UCO productions throughout the past four years. The young actor said he has his heart set on success and does not plan to stop until he reaches the top. However, he said someday he would like to have a family, but not until he is "well established." "At the beginning of my career, it will be hard enough to keep food on the table for myself, let alone a family," he said. The 1990 Bishop Kelly graduate is the son of Don and Judy Allen of Lebanon, Mo. and Steve Boethin of Tulsa. "Balcony Scene" will play at 8 p.m. March 10-12 and at 2 p.m. March 13 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for senior citizens and $2 for students. Admission is free for UCO faculty, staff and students. For reservations, contact Mitchell Hall box office at 3412980, Ext. 3375.

Bronchos down TAMUK in high scoring shoot-out By Rachel Schnitzer
Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma rolled past conference rival Texas A&M- Kingsville behind a run- and- gun first half and a second half that the Bronchos owned. The first half started with aJunie Sanders jumper from 16 feet, and the Bronchos never lost the lead. Early in the game TAMUK was close but by the 11:37 mark the men had the Javelinas down 27-
13. TAMUK then took advantage of several traveling calls and went on a 9-1 run to bring the score to 34-31. The Bronchos came charging back behindthe outstanding play of Johnny Tyson. The men went on a 17-4 run in which Tyson scored 7 and had a monster slam that ignited the crowd. Zoderick Green added 8 during the streak to give the Bronchos a 54-35 halftime lead. The second half was a rather uneventful half in which UCO led by 17 or more points. The first five
minutes saw TAMUK try to get back into the game, but the Bronchos stretched the lead to 7349 at the 13:29 mark. The crowd was excited with 7:40 left in the game when Joe Hooks hit a monster slam and got the foul to push the lead to 96-65. After that, UCO held a20 point or more lead and left the crowd with nothing to get excited about but the cheerleaders. The Javelinas fell to 1-6 in conference play and 8-13 overall, while UCO improved to 14-6 overall and 5-3 in Lone Star Conference play.

BLACK HERITAGE KEYNOTE SPEAKER J.C. Watts J.C. Watts was elected to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission on November 6, 1990. His campaign and election hold great historic significance in Oklahoma. He was the first African American nominee for statewide office for either major political party in Oklahoma history. His Black Heritage Keynote speech will definitely be motivational, inspirational and uplifting. His speeches build pride and confidence among his listeners. Prior to his entrance into elective office, Watts was best known as the University of Oklahoma quarterback who led the Sooners to consecutive Big Eight Championships and Orange Bowl victories in 1980 and 1981.

On Nov. 9, 1891, the Territorial Normal School, now the University of Central Oklahoma, held its first classes. According to the 1,500 pound granite marker located at 19 N. Broadway, 23 students attended classes in the Methodist Episcopal Church, though there is some dispute as to whether there were actually 25, said Mary L. Bond, director of archives and the Chambers Library. On Nov. 19, 1915, Lucy J. Hampton, a professor of history at UCO from 1910 to 1958, placed the granite marker along with the original fourth UCO time capsule on the property of the church where the first classes were held. The capsule contained articles, books, pamphlets, pictures, programs and brochures from the early days of the university, said Bond. The fourth of the five UCO time capsules had a rocky history. The capsule was damaged in 1923 when the church was destroyed by fire, said Bond. "The property was sold, and an apartment house was constructed where the church once stood," said Bond. "The new owners did not
want the marker on their property, so they moved it into a parking lot, and unfortunately the time capsule was damaged," she said. In 1952, the apartment house was sold again. Under Hampton's supervision and with the cooperation of the building's new owners, the marker was moved back to its original location, said Bond. In August of 1993, the building at 19 N. Broadway was again under renovation. Only this time, it was time to open the capsule. Bond, university President George Nigh and Pastor Robert Van House of the United Methodist Church looked on as the capsule was removed from its resting place under the granite marker, said Bond. The time capsule was stored in

Buffalo Soldiers honored by historical societ By Anthony Tompkins
Staff Writer It is near the end of the Civil War, and Confederate troops are leading a bloody campaign into Indian territory (Oklahoma). They leave in their wake the bloody, rotting remnants of the once green and golden plains. Union forces fight furiously against the blazing cannons and blasting muskets of the Confederacy on smoke filled, body laden battle fields. Deadly grape-shot and hot leaded balls tear flesh and
life from their blue- clad bodies. After suffering tremendous losses to the gray-clad Confederates, reinforcement consisting of all-Black-American regiments of the Ninth and 10th U.S. Cavalries, the "Buffalo Soldiers," have come to fight along side white Union soldiers for the freedom of all men. The Atoka Historical Society held a reenactment of the Battle of Middle Boggy last weekend. The battle involved Buffalo Soldiers and Confederate troops, and took place in Indian territory. "The Buffalo Soldiers were instrumental in the settlement of
Local stations will broadcast school closings due to weather By Jason Webb
Student Writer Students wishing to know whether classes will be canceled because of bad weather should listen to metropolitan radio stations or watch the metropolitan news. For morning cancellations or delays, all local radio stations and television stations are contacted at 6:30 a.m. When night classes are canceled, the local media is contacted at 4 p.m. in time for the 5 p.m. news. Another source for
class cancellations is the University of Central Oklahoma Weatherline, Ext. 3601 or 3701. The decision to cancel classes is made by UCO President George Nigh, and then it's passed down to the Public Information office. The Public Information office then contacts the UCO operators. Classes are canceled if the university thinks that it will be a "danger to students to get here," said Linda Jones, director of communications/publications. She urges people who think the roads might be dangerous to use their best judgment and not call the university for road conditions.

Oklahoma," said Dr. Kenny L. Brown, associate professor of history and geography at the University of Central Oklahoma. The Buffalo Soldiers were Black-American soldiers in the Ninth and 10th Cavalries who were stationed in Oklahoma. The name, "Buffalo Soldiers," was coined by the Indians because they thought that the black men's hair texture and skin color resembled that of the great buffalo, said Brown. The Buffalo Soldiers, formed near the end of the Civil War, were instrumental in the fight against Confederate forces, said Whit Edwards, program director
of the Oklahoma Historical Society. They were also a significant factor in winning the Indian and Red River wars in the Oklahoma territory before the Indians settled on to reservations, said Brown. The B uffalo Soldiers also helped to win the Battle of San Juan Hill after the Rough Riders sustained heavy losses and faced certain defeat during the Spanish American War of 1898, said Brown. They helped construct forts and served as police units in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, said Edwards. The Buffalo Soldiers were last
used during the Poncho Via border skirmishes between Texas and Mexico. Shortly following World War I, the all-black regiments were dispanded due to concerns of racism in the military, said Dr. Jery W. Roberson, professor of history and geography. The Oklahoma Historical Society, of which the Atoka Historical Society is a part, publishes Chronicles of Oklahoma, a history related magazine, and also is involved in the restoration and safekeeping of Oklahoma's rich contributions to U.S. history, said Roberson.
