Residence halls will go co-ed in fall By Michele Soh

Staff Writer

OU student group won't endorse hikes NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — The president of the University of Oklahoma Student Association says the group probably will ask that any tuition increase be limited to about half that being proposed by state regents. "I can guarantee you that (student) congress will not endorse the 10 percent tuition increase," UOSA President Jay Parmley said. He said the student congress may endorse just a 5 percent to 6 percent increase.

East and West halls will change to coed, said Carroll Van Duyn, director of housing for UCO. So, come fall semester, guys and gals will get the chance to live together under the same roof in the dormitories of the University of Central Oklahoma. "I think it is a good idea," said Amy Melvin, UCO junior. She said college students should be mature enough to live in a co-ed dorm. "If they can't handle living with the opposite sex, then they can't handle the real world," said Melvin, who has lived in West Hall for more than a year.

UCO students asked for this, said Van Duyn. The Resident Hall Association played a part, and the administration made the decision at the beginning of this semester, she said. Freshman Tiffany DeAnn Rimer said she does not like the idea of co-ed dorms and would probably move out of West Hall. "Imagine waking up at 7 a.m. in the morning and walking to the bathroom with curlers in my hair. I don't want to be seen by any guys," said Rimer, who is living in the dorms for the second semester. Van Duyn said allocation will be by floor. Men will live on the second floor in West Hall and the third floor will be reserved for women; and probably, in

Interracial couples double from 1980 WASHINGTON (AP) — When love leaps boundaries of race and culture, interracial couples say, the next hurdle usually is convincing friends and family their marriages are just like anyone else's. And interracial marriages are growing more common. Nearly 1.2 million couples in the United States are married across racial lines, double the number in 1980, the Census Bureau reports. "When I originally told my family I was seeing a black woman, they were shocked," said Daniel Hollis. "I think they were expecting a welfare mother or something. But when they found out Yvette was a graduate of Northwestern University, they calmed down pretty quick." "And I said, 'I'm always happy to break anyone's stereotypes, — said his wife, Yvette Walker.

Mayon volcano erupts again LEGAZPI, Philippines (AP) — The Mayon volcano erupted again Friday, spewing ash and fiery debris just 10 days after a weaker eruption killed 68 people. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The volcano spewed clouds of ash twice in 45 minutes today. The ash reached 2 miles into the sky and gases and debris as hot as 2,000 degrees tumbled three miles down the slopes of Mayon, 220 miles southeast of Manila. VSee World Wrap, page 8

East Hall, the second floor will be for women, the third for men, said Van Duyn. Most of the first floor of both halls will be sectioned off for male and female handicapped students said Van Duyn. She added that the Housing Office will have to look at the demand as traditional, more women than men live on campus. "Security will be our main concern," said Van Duyn. She said the corridors and doors will have to be secure during non-visitation hours and the rule that guests have to be escorted will have to be adhered to. The lobbies will still be open 24 hours. East Hall resident John Pham, whose girlfriend lives in West Hall, said, "It's cool, I can see my girlfriend more often if we lived in the same dorm." Only East and West halls will be coed, Murdaugh and Thatcher halls will remain the same, said Van Duyn. When ask whether dorm fees will increase in Fall, Van Duyn said the administration is looking into the possibility. "Any increase will be due to the ever increasing cost of food, not because the dorms are going co-ed," she said.

Inspirational quotes and sayings will soon be placed on bulletin boards around the University of Central Oklahoma's campus in a new motivational program sponsored by the UCO Student Government Association, said Celia O'Dell, of SGA. "We're sending out letters to the staff and faculty asking for sayings, but anyone can submit them," said O'Dell, "The Quotes and sayings don't have to be famous." SGA got the idea from a packet they received from the National Association for Campus Activities. "They have had a lot of success with these programs," O'Dell said. The program should begin around Feb. 24 and the messages will change bimonthly, ODell said. Anyone who wishes to submit a saying can contact O'Dell at Ext. 3337.

Closed sections and crowded classrooms not a problem for state's governor People who fight for higher education and know its importance to this state and quality of the nation as a whole should begin praying. A prayer for a change of heart by Gov. David Walters would be nice. Divine intervention seems to be the only hope against a governor with a focus on doing a hatchet job on education funding. Walters' proposed 9 percent cut in state agency budgets is a pounding blow to higher education institutions. If that wasn't enough, tuition hikes are in order as well. Well governor, where does that leave the students? They will be left soaking in the rain without a rain coat and instructors leaving for another job that is worthy of putting food on the table. There are currently some 220,000 students in Oklahoma's higher education system. The figure will soon decline if tuition hikes and budget cuts make it impossible to attend and just not worth the hassle of crowed classrooms and closed sections. With Walter's plan, nobody wins. Tuition hikes in the past were for enhancing the overall higher education system. But that won't be the case now because the budget cuts will take the money away from enhancement. Enhancement falls to way side of survival Quality programs and faculty are obviously not a concern of Walters. Qualified instructors are going to go to where the best job is. Oklahoma probably won't be on the itinerary. Walters' proposed budget cut for higher education will close sections, make faculty recruitment difficult, and make class sizes larger. The University of Central Oklahoma can't take it. Walters should stop hacking at Oklahoma's higher education.

Student complains about food service

CORRECTION

can be avoided by getting involved. We all have busy lives, and most of us are commuters. But, the University of Central Oklahoma is still OUR school. The one where we will create memories, develop friendships, and list on

he quality of food and the service at the Central Cafeteria, operated by the University of Central Oklahoma Auxiliary Service, for on-campus students have gone down significantly this semester. Students are frequently heard complaining about the low quality food and the menu. The management in the cafeteria lacks the integrity required to operate a service toward the stu-

dents and are blind to the everchanging need of modern food service. Most of the foods served are fried in high-cholesterol oil and lack the nutritional values required to maintain a balanced diet. Old equipment along with old management are falling behind to meet the ever-changing need of the student community. The service over there is slow and rude. Lack of student representation in the management is

part of the problem. It's high time when they start listening to the students and make efforts to provide quality food and service. Otherwise, the students might be well advised to go to Russia, it will be worth their money to see a foreign country while they are waiting in a long line for food. —Khandaker Murshed UCO student

D&D player says it's just acting his is in response to Brandon Page's letter published in the Feb. 9 issue and his warning. My opinion and experience with Dungeons and Dragons is just because I play a character in a game that does NOT mean I take any of his qualities away with me from the game table. My present character is a 3'6" gnome who tends to be timid and only occasionally asserts himself. I stand 5'11" and am very assertive. The point being, I am playing a character in somewhat the same way an actor plays a character on the stage or in film.

Is Patrick Stewart really a space traveler or is Roseanne Arnold a blue-collar housewife? No, they are not and just because I play a gnome who fights evil monsters and goes on far-away quests for treasure does not mean I will be going to Egypt in search for the Lost Ark killing anyone, or anything that stands in my way. Playing the game, and it is only a game, gives a person things to do in fun he or she could never do for real. It is also my opinion thatpeople who take the game so seriously should seek help. It is these people who get all the publicity, not the

people who take it as the game it really is. I am a very serious Christian. I have been a full member of my Church for almost six years now. If loosing my father, and a beloved pastor will not shake my faith, then playing a character certainly will not. Just remember. There are far more people out here who take Dungeons and Dragons just as a game. It is about time we get some well-deserved publicity. It is just a game. —Jim Smith UCO student

Representative speaks on health care reform By Andrea Voss Student Writer

and of high quality. Monson said she became interested in health care for two reasons: because she is a consumer and because of the high percentage of uninsured people in Oklahoma. She said there are approximately 700,000 people in Oklahoma without insurance, and 25 percent of those are under age 65.

Health care reform was the topic Monday night when state Rep. Angela Monson spoke to the Student Nurses' Association in the Council Room of the University Center at the University of Central Oklahoma. Monson, who has represented district 99 since November Of all the uninsured, 85 1990, focused her speech on health care for medicaid patients percent are employed or dependants. Most of those are and state workers. She said that the two main working for small businesses qualifications of health care is that are unable to afford group that they should be affordable coverage, and their average

salary is around $14,000 a year, which makes them unable to afford individual coverage, she said. "Because of these facts I introduced State Bill 1578, which is a health care reform bill," said Monson. The bill, which was recently passed, resulted in the creation of the Governors Health Care Commision. The Commision issued a report listing its three goals as making health care affordable, high quality, and making insurance available to all. The Governors proposal has

resulted in three reforms which are in the works. One is a medicade reform in which the state agrees to pay a set amount for medicaid each month, and no claims are filed. Second, is an insurance reform proposal in which insurance companies will go for longer periods without raising premiums. People will be divided into three groups according to age, not health status, and premiums will be set. The groups will be divided into age 0-18; 18-64; and 64 & older. "The only drawback to this is an increased premium for the

young and healthy. The older you are the less you pay; so it works out in the long run," Munson said. The last reform is the creation of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, whose members are appointed by the governor. It is made up of a professional and technical staff to help coordinate health care reforms. They will work on a standardized benefit package for state workers, and health care plans to get better rates on insurance for medicaid patients and state employees, Monson said.

Council accepts newest UCO fraternity by unanimous vote By Bob Mamer Student Writer

The newest fraternity at the University of Central Oklahoma, Acacia, was voted into the Interfraternity Council (IFC) Feb. 1, said Kevin McDonell, Acacia member. "Thanks to all the other fraternities, we were unanimously voted in," McDonell said. Acacia is now one step closer to becoming a chartered organization now that IFC, the organization that governs fraternities, has accepted us, he said. Now the only thing required for Acacia to become a chartered organization is to increase membership to 30 members, he said. Acacia presently has 16 members and three pledges, McDonell said. "We are still building our house, but our progress has slowed down because of plans the City of Edmond must approve," McDonell said. The house at 217 E. Ayers will hold eight members when finished.

SGA members prepare for conference By Michele Soh Staff Writer The 13th Annual International Conference on Student Government Associations in Texas is the largest student-run conference in the world,said Joacquin Stevens, University of Central Oklahoma's SGA president. He said student leaders from across the United States, some other countries and four UCO student senators will attend the

The UCO senators are Carole Crawley, Shanna Williams, Rolf Strasheim and Aaron Montgomery. "A good investment in leadership development" is how Stevens describes going to such conferences. "Last year's conference was incredible, I learned many new ideas to implement in UCO," said Crawley. She said she looks forward to this year's conference, especially the workshops on fighting student apathy and campus-community

The program of the conference also offers speakers, roundtables, small group discussions and a swap shop, where each school displays items such as constitutions, teeshirts and programs. "It looks glamorous for student leaders to travel to conferences but it also means that we have to miss class and maybe struggle to catch up," said Stevens. Issues, problems, programs, situations, trends and creative solutions are discussed by student leaders when they meet,

said Stevens He said "I came away from

U.N.embargo on Iraq puts sweets in short supply BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — For most Iraqis, U.N. sanctions, scarcity and an annual inflation rate of 8,000 percent have drained all pleasure from life. There is not even sugar for the national sweet tooth. Once upon a time, before the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Tawfik's little girl Amira would rush laughing into her father's arms when he came home from work, squirreling through his pockets for the candy he always brought. These days, his pockets are empty. He has no sweets and little money. Despair grips Tawfik's small family: his wife, Amal; 6-yearold son, Adil, and Amira, who no longer asks for candy or expects it. "I've nothing to give her and it hurts to see her eyes," said Tawfik, who works in a government office for about 300 dinars a month. That is $100 at the official exchange rate, but less than $10 in reality. "Our life is drab," he said. "We don't laugh or picnic or have fun any more. We're too

Study shows some infections trigger strokes MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Common bacterial infections that cause pneumonia and other breathing ailments may often trigger strokes, a new study suggests. "Infections seem to represent an additional risk to patients who are already at risk for strokes," said Dr. Armin Grau, who directed the study. In the United States, strokes are the third leading cause of death behind heart attacks and cancer. The disease strikes 500,000 people annually. Experts already recognize several conditions and habits that can touch off strokes. Among them are diabetes, smoking, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol and alcohol.

tired just surviving. We only live for the day and try not to think ahead." The U.N. slapped the sanctions on Iraq following its August 1990 invasion of Kuwait, and will not lift them until Iraq complies with all Gulf War cease-fire requirements, such as the destruction of its most dangerous arms. Iraq, which has the appetite for sweets of most Arab countries, literally has become a nation without candy and desserts because of limited sugar imports. Candy stores and ice cream parlors have been closed by the government, along with softdrink plants and many other factories that use sugar. There is a black market in baklava pastries. A box of candy is one of the most appreciated gifts a foreigner can bring. The daily hardship and sacrifice of individuals is surrounded by a vast program to rebuild bridges, repair other damage wrought by allied bombing and create new industrial and irrigation projects. President Saddam Hussein's government is believed to have spent some of its gold reserves

on the work, but officials say much of the reconstruction has used materials stockpiled before the war. Members of the elite, a tiny fraction of Iraq's 18 million people, still live in relative comfort, but they, too, feel besieged.

Since then, the question has been one of how far the press should go when covering a public figure involved in a scandal, tragedy or criminal investigation. Ray said some professionals get caught in the trap of 'it's news, so we need to print it, and we can't worry about the victim' but when the news is some serious, sensational crime or scandal, they must make the decision about which of the more private aspects of the incident are necessary elements of the story.

Broncho Matmen end regular season on top No. 1 UCO whips Nebraska-Kearney; Fort Hays a no-show after accident By Justin Harper Sports Editor

Pain and Strain UCO's Chad Drake tries to untangle himself from an Oklahoma wrestler in a match earlier this year. The Bronchos defeated 11th rated Nebraska-Kearney 29-12 on Wednesday to finish the regular season ranked No. 1 with a 7-4 dual record. (Photo by Mike Simons)

Being the top-ranked team in the country is nothing new to Central Oklahoma's wrestling team. Having a four-dual losing streak is. However, with UCO's 29-12 spanking of 11th ranked NebraskaKearney on Wednesday, everything was back to normal for the Bronchos who now go into the post-season on a positive note. UCO was also scheduled to face Fort Hays State in a doubleheader, but FHSU's team van was involved in an accident on 1-35 causing several wrestlers to be hospitalized. No serious injuries were reported. UCO received a forfeit at 118 pounds to start the UNK dual, then Travis Moman came on to score an 18-3 technical fall over UNK's Shawn Donovan at 126. Mike Keim backed that up with a 9-3 decision over Martin Segovia at 134 and Todd Drake decisioned Jason Christiansen 6-2 in the 142 lb. match. UNK cracked the scoreboard with Ali Amiri-Eliasi's 12-6 decision over UCO's 150 pounder Biff Jones. 158 pounder Lynn Fidler regained the momentum for the Bronchos with a first period pin over Chad Beaman at 158 and Keith Cunningham hung on for a 3-2 sudden-death win over Shannon Peters at 167. UCO's David Wright was pinned in the 177 match before Broncho Chris Griffin won a 3-2 decision in sudden-death at 190. The match ended with UNK's John Welsh's 6-5 sudden-death win at heavyweight over Denny Kenedy.

Restaurant claims loyalty will bring sales up after tainted meat scare SAN DIEGO (AP) — Sales . at Jack in the Box restaurants dropped by as much as 35 percent last month after hundreds of customers were sickened by tainted meat, but executives predicted the fast-food chain will soon recover. "We have a very wonderful, wonderful, loyal base of longterm customers," said Jack Goodall, chief executive officer of San Diego-based Foodmaker Inc., the chain's parent company. Foodmaker's annual meeting opened Friday with a prayer for those affected by the bacterial outbreak. "If there were any way in God's will that we could go back and undo this, we would give anything in order to be able to do that," Goodall told shareholders. Health officials have said the bacteria strain E. coli 0157:H7 was spread through contaminated and undercooked hamburgers served at Jack in the Box restaurants in Washington state. The bacteria killed a 2-year-old

boy and sickened at least 400 people in Washington state. Other cases were reported in Idaho and Nevada. At least nine children remained hospitalized, including two in critical condition. Foodmaker has promised to pay all medical costs for those infected, Goodall said. The company will spend about $2 million annually to improve inspections to prevent a recurrence of the contamination, said Robert Nugent, president and chief operating officer of Jack in the Box. For the two weeks after health officials publicly linked the chain to the bacteria outbreak on Jan. 18, Jack in the Box sales dropped by as much as 35 percent compared to the same period last year, Foodmaker said. The chain initially suspended all advertising, but recently aired ads explaining its response to the outbreak. Goodall said customer loyalty will help ensure that sales recover after several months.

Bush hires archivist WASHINGTON (AP) — America's top archivist is resigning to run the George Bush presidential library after agreeing last month to give Bush control over 5,000 White House computer tapes from the Iran-Contra era. Researchers still trying to untangle the Iran-Contra affair dislike the agreement and one says it "doesn't pass the smell test" — that the new job smacks

of a reward. But archivist Don W. Wilson firmly denies that. "There is absolutely nothing to that suggestion and I resent it," Wilson said Friday. Wilson was hired by Bush's son, George W. Bush, and William H. Mobley, president of Texas A&M University, to become executive director of the George Bush Center. He'll leave the National Archives March 31.

NBC investigates itself NEW YORK (AP), — NBC News will investigate circumstances surrounding the "Dateline NBC" report that provoked a lawsuit from General Motors Corp. NBC News President Michael Gartner told his staff Friday the network hired two lawyers to investigate the Nov. 17 sequence titled "Waiting to Explode." The report suggested 4.7 million GM pickups made between 1973 and 1987 with "sidesaddle" gasoline tanks mounted outside their frames are prone to catching fire when hit

from the side. NBC did not tell viewers a GM pickup truck used in a crash test was rigged with incendiary devices. GM sued NBC on Monday for defamation. The network settled the lawsuit last week with an on-air retraction and apology to GM.

*Maximize Your Degree*

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A vote by Fraternal Order of Police members not to work as security guards at special events will affect all public events in Oklahoma City, the FOP president says. FOP members voted to quit working off-duty security jobs at special events unless city leaders agree to defend and indemnify officers against lawsuits incurred those jobs. The vote Thursday followed a Jan. 29 decision by a federal magistrate that Oklahoma City is not liable for paying the legal defense of an officer who was sued for making an arrest during a high school basketball game. Magistrate Ronald L. Howland ruled that Officer Eldridge Wyatt, in city uniform, was acting as an Oklahoma City police officer but not under the scope of city employment. Basketball referee Stanley Guffey filed a federal lawsuit in May alleging Wyatt wrongfully arrested him during a game Feb. 4, 1992, between Star Spencer

and Douglass high schools. Wyatt claimed players were overly rough and that students in the stands were showing gangrelated hand signals. He said he stepped onto the court to discuss the problem and that Guffey told him to leave. The officer told him he was under arrest and pushed Guffey off the court. After about 10 minutes, Guffey returned and the game resumed. The City Council declined to pay for Wyatt's defense after City Attorney Jim Hamill advised that officers employed by public entities other than the city are not acting within the scope of their police department employment. City Manager Don Bown said staff attorneys are reviewing the federal ruling and that until a

formal decision is made by the City Council, the ruling will guide handling of lawsuits against off-duty officers. "We're asking someone to take the responsibility to indemnify these officers so we can know that they are covered," P.D. Taylor, president of FOP Lodge 123, said Friday. "We're hoping the city or the city schools will act quickly to resolve this problem." The FOP is helping pay to defend Wyatt, but Taylor said officers who continue to work at off-duty events will be at risk. "We're paying for the defense on a couple of these cases right now, and I don't know how many more we will be able to cover," he said.

C linton blasts drug manufacturers ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — President Clinton rapped the drug industry Friday for its "shocking" prices as he launched a new initiative to get American children vaccinated, including $300 million in new funds to keep clinics open longer. The president, joined by his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and key health policy makers, announced the initiative after touring, an Arlington County clinic where parents bring their children for free shots. "Over the past 10 years. the price of vaccines has risen at six times the rate of inflation. Immuni zin g a child cost S23 ten years ago. It costs more than $200 today," he said, citing the figures for private-sector vaccines. At public clinics, the price of vaccines "has leapt from $7 to more than $90," he said. Manufacturers claim that research and development costs drive up the prices, he said, but the industry "is spending Si billion more each year on advertising and lobbying than it does on developing new or better drugs."

U.S., Russia may launch probe STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Undaunted by deep budgetary problems facing both countries, U.S. and Russian engineers are working together to build new enthusiasm for the exploration of Mars. Russian scientists from the Babakin Center near Moscow, Russia's space research headquarters, and their U.S. colleagues from the NASA Ames Research Center, Stanford University and McDonnell Douglas Corp. say joint efforts are the answer to overcome official resistance to exploring Mars. The Soviet Union started launching spacecraft toward Mars in 1960, but more than half its missions were failures and the rest had mixed results. The United States had two failures out of eight Mariner and Viking spacecraft it sent to Mars.

Did Africans beat Indians to Americas? DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — A Senegalese scholar believes Africans reached the Americas centuries before Columbus and is organizing an expedition to prove it. Pathe Diagne, a linguist and historian, contends that Africans discovered the navigational route from Senegal across the Atlantic in 800 B.C. Reclaims they laid the basis for the Olmec civilization in what is now Veracruz, Mexico. "Look at the giant head relics," Diagne said in an interview. "Look at their negroid features, very different from American Indian features. "There are also many similarities in the architecture structures — like the pyramids, which were developed in the Sahara and then traveled ... to America as the Teotihuacan pyramids — as well as similarities in the writing alphabet and in the languages."

Earlier death for lefties not likely WASHINGTON (AP) — Being left-handed is not a hazard to your health after all, says a study that disputes an earlier report suggesting southpaws were at risk of dying up to 14 years sooner than righties. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health and Harvard University examined the rates of death among elderly people in East Boston, Mass., and found that left-handed people were at no more risk of dying early than right-handed people. Dr. Jack M. Guralnik of the National Institute of Aging, a part of the NIH, said the data came from a six-year community study that included 3,774 people 65 or older in East Boston. All deaths were recorded and analyzed. Although the study was conducted for other reasons, Guralnik said Thursday, the information collected included whether the subjects were left-handed or right-handed. That enabled the researchers to test a theory that southpaws die younger than do right-handed people, he said.

Bake sale proceeds finance Catholic retreat By Shirley S. Taylor Student Writer

Proceeds of about $300 from the bake sale at St. John's Catholic Church on Feb. 7 will be used by the University of Central Oklahoma Catholic Campus Ministries to sponsor a state-wide retreat for catholic college students. The UCO organization was selected at last year's state-wide college retreat to host this year's March 26-28 event at the Oklahoma Christian Camp in Guthrie. The theme is "And the Lion Shall Lay Down with the Lamb: Peace in Our Time," said Deb Shipman of the catholic students' organization. Sister Patricia McCarthy will speak on non-violence in daily living. She has worked in education for more than 20 years, particularly with abused children, said Father Joe Jacobi, campus minister for catholic students. McCarthy is from Providence, R.I., and is a member of the Congregation of Notre Dame (no relation to the university). She has given speeches on non-violence to religious communities around the world including Japan and Ireland. About $5,000 has been budgeted for the retreat which is being partially funded by the Knights of Columbus at St. John's and by the catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, Jacobi said. The $30 cost per person includes lodging in the wooded area, food and activities such as volleyball. It will also help pay the expenses of having a speaker, Shipman said. Local businesses have

contributed supplies, such as pencils and paper, to help the organization host the retreat. One fast-food restaurant has donated orange juice for breakfast, Shipman said. Approximately 100 people are expected to attend, with

about 25 from UCO. After McCarthy's speech, students will meet in small groups to discuss their reactions. Students will also have time for activities of their choosing during the two-day retreat, said Shipman.

Love was reason for donating lungs LOS ANGELES (AP) — Love, not coercion, motivated a father and mother to donate parts of their lungs to keep their daughter from dying of cystic fibrosis, the parents said. "We tried to save our daughter. That's all we tried to do," James Sewell, 55, said Friday before he was discharged from the University of Southern California's University Hospital. Stacy's mother, 49-year-old Barbara Sewell, said critics simply couldn't understand how it felt "to be able to take a child you gave birth to 21 years ago ... and to basically have her be reborn. It's unbelievable." Surgeons have performed hundreds of transplants using whole lungs from cadavers. Stacy was the first person to receive two lung lobes from living, related donors, although others have received a single lobe. A pair of human lungs has a total of five lobes. Because Ms. Sewell is petite, the one lobe donated by each of

Humanities professor concedes favorite pastime By Nally Fuller

Guest Writer Living in the past is usually not a highly regarded endeavor, but Dr. Stephen Law, Humanities chair, not only admits it but lists it as his favorite pastime. "I think it's important to live what one teaches: the humanities are not just ideas in some book, the humanities are a methodology for getting the most out of life," he said. University of Central Oklahoma students voted Dr. Law "Outstanding Educator of the Year" in Liberal Arts for 1990 and 1992, lending credibility to his "live what you teach" philosophy. In his self-described role of "knight errant" (wanderer) he has personally filmed for his lecture slide shows the walls of Troy, Mount Olympus, medieval pilgrimage routes, and Gothic churches throughout Europe, in addition to the remote tribal villages of British Columbia and Alaska. Prerequisites for most of Dr. Law's lectures should include an open inquiring mind, speedwriting, and excellent night vision for note-taking during slide shows.

Then he ties this effect to his classes: General Humanities, Philosophy in Life, Heaven and Hell, The Trojan War, Ancient Comedy, Classical Humanities, and Medieval Humanities.
