Regents denies MPA program for UCO By Roy Howe Staff Writer
Although the proposed Master's in Public Administration (MPA) program at the university was fine-tuned to assure that it did not overlap a similar one offered at the University of Oklahoma, an on-site team to
study the matter for the State Regents recently recommended against it. "Although we appreciate their enthusiasm and commitment, we do not believe the administration and faculty of UCO have adequately estimated the academic depth required to develop and sustain a quality MPA program," a letter from the on-site
team to the chancellor of higher education states. "Nor have they demonstrated a compelling need for a new program," the letter continues. The State Regents for Higher Education are yet to act on the committee's recommendation against the University of Cen-

tral Oklahoma's proposed MPA. But even if denied this time, George Avellano, graduate dean, said the program could resurface again. "The door is still open for us to come forward at a later date," Avellano said. "At this time regents are concerned with duplications and budgets. "We may resurrect the concept in a few years," he said. "It depends on the economy." The program was examined by a threemember out-of-state team to see if it duplicated an MPA offered at the University of Oklahoma. State Regents warn against duplicating programs. "A well-qualified, nationally recognized faculty at the University of Oklahoma is currently offering the MPA degree in Oklahoma at several locations with different modes of instruction," the team said. Carl Reherman, director of UCO' s Nigh Institute of State Government,has said that the graduate program in public administration at OU should not be a factor for approving this university's. He said the program at UCO would focus on state government while the program at OU is an international program. "Even if the programs are similar in many ways, there is room for more than one program in the state," Reherman said prior to the on-site team visit. He said that Kansas has three MPA programs, Arkansas has three programs, Missouri has five MPA programs and Texas offers 11 programs. The on-site team's letter to the chancelYSee MASTER'S, Page 5

Oklahoma needs help with gang violence
T
he recent gang-related "terrorist attacks" in the metropolitan area have managed to tarnish the buckle of the Bible Belt. Gang-related violence is not found just on the bad side of town. No one is immune to gang violence anymore. Recently, a robbery of an Edmond elderly couple was found to be possibly gang-related. The woman suffered cuts on her hands while the man was struck in the head by a handgun. This attack was just one of many that have taken place in the metro area in the last few weeks. From Midwest City up to Edmond, a string of robberies and torturous acts, in which the victims were shot, scalded and raped, have been linked to five men. Three of the men have been arrested, but the police are seeking two other men also in connection with the string of robberies. District Attorney Robert Macy has dubbed these robberies as "L.A.-style terrorism," but it is rapidly becoming "Oklahomastyle terrorism." And the violence is coming closer and closer to the University of Central Oklahoma campus. In the last few months arrests for drugs and weapons have escalated in the UCO campus vicinity. Along with that, theft and vandalism cases reported by the UCO police in recent months indicate that, whether.gangs have risen in number in the area or not, crime certainly has. The problem is, what can people do to protect themselves from this kind of terrorism in Oklahoma? Perhaps nothing. Sure, citizens can put an extra lock on their doors, or not go out alone at night or not go out at all, for that matter. But is that what Oklahoma wants? Is that what things have come to? A nation huddling in fear from armed gangs that run wild in the streets? What has happened to living? Is there, indeed, nothing we can do? Maybe if people tightened up the belt a notch or two and worked together to get these people off the streets, Oklahoma will once again be OK.

Reader responds to gun control letter
T
his letter is in response to mister "I felt insecure, helpless knowing that it could happen to me, and there is nothing that I can do to stop incidents like that." Grow up! I tell you what, stay at home locked behind your doors and worry your life away in seclusion. Do you not drive a car, or do you worry about that too? Are you afraid of taking a shower and slipping on the slick tile? Life is full of hazards, and it's a chance you have to take. I do agree with the Brady Bill's 15-day waiting period. I also know that it won' t stop any person from doing what happened in Hugo. All the bill does is stop felons and
insane people from purchasing a pistol. The law abiding person, for the most part, is punished from attaining a pistol for 15 days. In response to more police on the streets - sure I like that, but it's economically impractical. For more control on selling weapons - the Brady Bill will do that somewhat. Crackdowns on illegal import and distribution of guns and on the criminals are essential - just like the crackdown on drugs and gangs. Tap your heels three times, Dorothy. The biggest thing I have to hit you on is we need to build a national consensus on guns. Most people today jump on the old band
wagon before they know anything about an issue. Too many people wouldn't know a revolver/pistol from a semi-automatic to a fully automatic pistol. Most people don't know that the Brady Bill only covers handguns. A good 12-gauge shotgun will do more damage to the human body than any pistol sold. My final point of issue is this: weapons of any kind are like drugs. They can be purchased anywhere, anytime, no matter what kind of laws are passed. One last thing, free citizens of a free nation also means that freedom has a price. The biggest one is responsibility. -

UCO Student
Student/sports fan edits sports page enrolled at Central Okla homa two years ago and have been a dedicated reader of The Vista since that time. Over that period of time, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about my adopted favorite sports teams, the Bronchos, in The Vista sports section. I'm still an avid UCO sports fan, and I still enjoy The Vista. However, I am curious as to the lack of quality of The Vista sports page that has been in the paper of late. I don't mean to come across as judgmental, and I will be the first to admit I'm not an authority on the workings of a newspaper.
T
Nonetheless, it's very obvious that recent issues of The Vista sports page are well below par of what they have been since I've been a reader. I'm sure there is a reason for the errors. Like I said, I don't know a lot about the functionings of a newspaper. And, given that fact, it further shows how glaring the mistakes are. It doesn' t take much to notice misspelled headlines, misused words and unclear stories that lack vital information. If I can spot them, who can't? I realize that The Vista is a student newspaper, and as such, mis-
takes are expected and accepted. However, I noticed your sports staff has doubled in size recently. I would assume more people would equate into a better page. To clarify my point, I am enclosing an issue of The Vista that I have marked a few errors on. This is not the worst page I've seen either. Some look as though they were never read over. I'm not writing this letter to be a jerk. I'm simply surprised that the sports page I've been reading for two years has suddenly had such a drop off in quality. I hope it improves. -Ray Bentley

Kinko's discontinues campus related services By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Clifton L. Warrren, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, announced in a memo to the liberal arts department heads that Kinko's would no longer be printing course packets. Kinko's executives decided last May that the "campus stores" were not growing at the same rate as the "commercial stores," and that they were going to discontinue the campus related services, said Kinko's Representative Blaise Simqu. The decision was unexpected because the campus stores were the "origin" of Kinko's business, said Simqu. Kinko's representatives have been working with publishers to get them to produce specialized course packets and allow Kinko's to print them, said Simqu. "We are not a publisher, we are in the printing business," said Simqu. Warren's memo said that the University Center Copy Shop would still provide course packet production services. "Professors were giving us ma-
terial directly out of books and newspapers," said Crystal Johnson, UCO Copy Center director. "In one case, I wrote 36 letters to various publishers to clear items for a professor. We were cleared for 10 of the requested items. The packet was printed,

The policy of the copy center is not to copy any copy written material without the "written consent" of the publisher, said Johnson. In cases were libel is involved, by law it is the printer who is held accountable. In that case, Auxiliary Services would be responsible for the actions of the copy center if a copyright infringement

suite were filed, said Johnson. "There was no problem with copyright infringement, it was simply a marketing decision," Simqu said. "I'm not copying anything that has a copyright unless I have the written permission of the copyright owner," said Johnson. "I'm trying to stay out of as much hot water as I can," she said. The UCO Copy Center follows the copyright legislation as best it can. As of yet, there have been no lawsuits filed against the UCO Copy Center, though Kinko's settled a $100,000 suite last year, said Arthur G. Robinson, associate director Auxiliary Services University Center Book Store. When the Copy Center has to pay a royalty, it is the students who foot the bill. In cases where the cost is too great, we are forced to remove the material, said Robinson. "Everyone who wants to copy published materials needs to be aware of the copyright laws," said Robinson.

A University of Central Oklahoma graduate will be one of four artists featured at the City Arts Center exhibition, Hecho En Oklahoma, Feb. 18 through March 13 to celebrate the Hispanic culture. David Meadows graduated from UCO in December with a degree in magazine journalism, but he will be displaying his sculptural memorial boxes at the center. "I was honored (to be chosen)," Meadows said. Meadows began sculpting within the last year, and Hecho En Oklahoma will be his third exhibition. The boxes are not traditional sculptures in that they are not made of metal. The boxes, sculpted in a religious
style, are made of rough wood, he said. Meadows makes the memorial boxes to honor his elder family members, he said. The exhibit also includes Oklahoma painters Maria Elena Escribano, Carlos Tello and Judith Ghashghaie, said Grace Medina from the City Arts Center. These artists were chosen because they were interested in representing their culture, she said. The exhibit begins Feb. 18 with an artist's reception from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. which is open to the public. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. City Arts Center is located at the fairground in the building with the purple dome.

Tranvestite expert to speak on campus By Carol Cole Mills
Guest Writer True understanding by their spouses and the public is a commodity in short supply for most transvestites, known as male crossdressers. That almost all transvestism has almost nothing to do with homosexuality surprises the uneducated observer, says Dr. Lewis Irving, University of Central Oklahoma sociology professor. Irving says he hopes the speaking appearance of Virginia "Charles" Prince will help to foster understanding. Prince, a transvestite (TV) who has dressed and lived as a woman for over 40 years and a recognized expert on transvestism, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 in the Pegasus Theatre in UCO' s Liberal Arts Building. Prince is coming to the campus through the efforts of Irving and the Gay-Lesbian Alliance for Student Support (G.L.A.S.S.) A prolific writer on TVism, Prince has been invited to speak before many service and medical
organizations and other interested groups. She has appeared on several national radio and television broadcasts including Donahue, Oprah and Sally and although in her 80s, works incessantly to enlighten the public. In the introduction of her book,
The Transvestite and His Wife, Prince credits former president of the American Psychiatric Association, Dr. Karl Boatman, for her first start toward self acceptance and understanding. Boatman told Prince to "stop fighting it, it isn't so terrible. There are thousands of others like you and always have been. Be happy and adjust to it. Don't be fearful, lonely or self-condemnatory." Prince tried to carry Boatman's thoughts forward in a magazine she founded, TRANSVESTIA, and the Society for the Second Self and its social organization, Tri Ess Sorority or Sigma Sigma Sigma. Orthodox medicine says TV ism starts in childhood from a number of factors stemming from the method of child-rearing used. While Prince doesn' t dispute those factors, she offers her own based on her research and experience.
Prince outlines those factors as 1) The need to acquire virtue and to experience beauty; 2) The need for adornment and personality expression; 3) Relief from the requirements of masculinity and 4) Relief from social expectancy. Transvestites are generally heterosexual men who desire to express their feminine sides, says Prince. Their interest is solely in the feminine gender role and not in her sexual activity. She says suppression of men's feminine sides intensifies the desire for TVism. Ironically, women can and do wear masculine type clothing openly and without social disapproval. And since the Woman's Movement began, it has become acceptable for women to hold
down jobs that formerly were the sole domain of men. Misconceptions of TVism are fueled by highly visible female impersonators such as RuPaul. And for years, comedians such as Milton Berle and Flip Wilson used gay humor as part of their crossdressed characters. That just plays into the public's stereotype of transvestism and homosexuality, says Irving. Confusion of sex and gender is the root of the misunderstandings, says Irving. And Irving said he agrees with Prince that women have made great strides in being able to express the masculine sides of their nature. To help students get in touch with their feminine and masculine sides and deal with the issues of
sex and gender, Irving developed an exercise where students crossdress for one day as part of a human sexuality course. The exercise was well-received by the students and was presented to the Society of Scientific Study of Sexuality's national conference in Chicago last November. The success of that presentation brought an invitation for Irving to make a presentation to the Ameri. can Association of Sex Educators:, Counselors and Therapists, (AASECT) this May in Lewisville, KY. Irving stressed in several 'Other cultures including many Native American cultures, the concept Q2 tranvestism has long been accepted and in some—revered,

year, he said. Pugh said that if there were to be a budget cut, people would get laid off and courses would be cut. Pugh said it wouldn't be as bad to UCO as it would be to the University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University. "We're not expecting a five percent cut...a cut if any, but you never know...things could change," he said. Pugh said the Chamber of Commerce emphasized on what higher education is to our economy. The legislature and Gov. Walters are very supporting in funding higher education, Pugh said. "It was very successful," said Pugh.
for indicates that they feel the OU program is well suited to accommodate Oklahoma students. "These (OU) faculty have the expertise to meet the basic needs of the state and local government; further, they have expressed their willingness to respond to additional needs." While the on-site team applauded UCO's faculty for their public service tradition and their aspirations for the Nigh Institute
for State Government, they offered recommendations about faculty and existing programs. "If the university seeks to strengthen its instructional offerings in public administration, we recommend less reliance on adjunct faculty and closer linkages between the public service mission of the Institute and the existing baccalaureate programs in public administration." At the same time, the deletions
of three UCO programs which would have helped provide resources for the MPA has concerned some university faculty. These programs, deleted last year, include the Master's of Arts in Economics, Master' s of Education in Community/Junior Colleges teaching and a Master's of Education/general option. The proposed MPA had "very little" to do with the deletion of these programs, said Clyde Jacob,
vice president for academic affairs. Jacob said program deletions, which are ongoing, are required by the State Regents under their Academic Planning Resource Allocation (APRA) where low priority programs are eliminated to shift resources to those of higher priority. The on-site team visited the UCO campus Jan. 13 and represented universities from Kansas and Illinois.

Annual UCO Art Faculty Show features new, popular mediums Policeman eats marijuana cookies ST, PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Baking a batch of chocolate-chip cookies with marijuana seemed like a harmless weekend diversion to James Fowler until a visiting in-law sampled one and got into trouble. Fowler's dilenuna: How do you tell a police officer that he's just eaten marijuana? Fowler didn't say anything to Kenneth Kokotek, his wife's son-in-law, until after the police officer tested positive in a random drug screening four days later, Kokotek said. Internal Affairs investigated, and decided urine tests backed up Kokotek's account of a onetime culinary encounter with the drug last month, Lt. Tim Story said. A regular user would have shown traces of tetrahydrocannabinol, the active inuedient in marijuana, for a longer period of time. Kokotek, who said he never felt high, was allowed to return from an administrative leave. Police said they doubted Fowler would he investigated for drug use.
Americans prefer green vehicles DETROIT (AP) — Call it what you will — Tundra, Glacier or Pine — Americans like their green machines. Twice as many green vehicles hit the road last year as in the year before, while perennial favorite white, still on top, began to fade, according to a report out Monday from DuPont Automotive. Medium red fell from second to third place, while bright red and black rounded out the top five colors among vehicles purchased in 1993, said the company, which creates paints for the auto industry. Color isn't just pigment, said Roseann Forde, who researches retail trends for DuPont Fibers. "Green represents balance, normality and security," she said. People who select green are socially well adjusted, civilized and suburban. White, on the other hand, is innocence, purity, honesty and cleanliness." Green was popular in the 1960s, before people began to associate it with the jungle camouflage of the Vietnam Wai -, Forde said. - A whole generation of people lost their taste for green.

Twenty-four faculty members are invited to enter their work, including three faculty members from the journalism department: Terry Clark, Woody Gaddis and Charles Simmons. Dean Hyde, UCO art professor, said that the whole purpose for the faculty art show is to keep the faculty working. He also believes that if the students are assigned homework, then the faculty should do homework as well. Hyde said he will enter sculp-
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — After a five-year court battle, the Pennsylvania law that requires women to wait 24 hours before having an abortion is going into effect. U.S. District Judge Daniel H. Huyett III on Monday lifted an injunction against the law, responding to an order from the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The waiting period went into effect Tuesday, said Robert Gentzel, spokesman for state Attorney General Ernie Preate Jr. The law also requires women under 18 to get permission from a parent or judge and all women to learn about fetal development and alternatives to abortion before undergoing the procedure. However, Gentzel said it would be a "matter of days" before all provisions of the law are enacted. Abortion providers argued that the law posed an unfair burden to women, particularly those who must travel some distance to get an abortion. Fifty-nine of the state's 67 counties do not have abortion providers.
Man says 'Hail Mary' in strangling PATERSON, N.J. (AP) — The mastermind behind the murder of a teen-ager who was strangled while saying the "Hail Mary" faces life in prison. Frank Castaldo, 20, was found guilty Monday of conspiracy to commit murder and two counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors said Castaldo influenced four teen-agers to kill Robert Solimine Jr., 17, in 1992. Three of the teens testified that James Wanger, then 17, strangled Solimine with an electric cord as they spoke the last line of the "Hail Mary" together in a car. Castaldo wasn't present.

Bill Wallo, director of the Central Museum of Art, said that the more popular art mediums are the two-dimensional mediums like painting, printmaking and drawing, and these have been the more popular since the show began. He also stated that the relatively new mediums are computer graphics, lightprojections (light shows), video and sight specifics. Sight specifics is creating scenery as an art form in itself, as opposed to scenery used to enhance the art. "These mediums may not be in the show, but they are the up-andcoming art forms," said Wallo. An opening reception will be held from 2 - 4 p.m. Feb 20. Dr. William Hommel, chairman of the art department, said that everyone is encouraged to attend.

The exhibit is a joint project between Oklahoma State University and the Omniplex, said Joan Fogle, director of volunteers. We are looking for outgoing people who will enhance a visitor's
visit to the Omniplex," said Fogle. "The volunteers will be asked to work a minimum of eight hours per week, although if this causes a problem, we should be able to work something out, " said Fogle. "Volunteers will become entomologists for the summer and learn about insects so they can share their knowledge with curious onlookers," said Fogle. The volunteers will receive free
admission to the Omniplex, discounts at the gift shop and museum restaurant and an introduction to the Omniplex's exhibits and programs. The exhibit is scheduled from May 27 to Sept. 11. Interviews will begin in March, and orientation sessions are scheduled for April 21 and 24. For more information contact Joan Fogle at (405) 424-5545.

UCO students audition for theater graduate schools By Anthony Tompkins
Staff Writer The University Resident Theater Association (URTA), an organization representing the most outstanding theater graduate schools in the nation, held auditions during February in Chicago. Approximately 800 students representing schools from across the nation attended the auditions, said Dr. Roberta Sloan, professor of theater arts at the University of Central Oklahoma. Two students from UCO auditioned in front of URTA representatives, and all received "call backs" for interviews with internationally respected graduate schools, said Sloan.
Two other students did technical theater presentations and were also interviewed. "This year, students from UCO were very successful," said Sloan. Actor Matt Boethin and actress Laura Hartpence, as well as stage technicians Neal Kerr and Sara Richardson, have all received calls from schools here and abroad, said Sloan. Boethin received call backs from 11 schools. The list included Temple University, Mountview School of Theatre in London, the Guthrie Theater of the University of Minneapolis and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in association with the University of Alabama, said Sloan. Hartpence received call backs from the University of California
Terrias
in Irvine, IndianaUniversity, Ohio University and Temple University, said Sloan. Kerr and Richardson submitted portfolios and were interviewed by a panel of URTA judges on their knowledge of stage management and design. Both had "successful" interviews and received call backs from various colleges, said Sloan. "Compared to other Oklahoma schools, UCO had the highest success rate at the URTA auditions," said Sloan. "Even though theater arts at UCO might not have a large staff or much funding, we must be doing something right," she said. "We have some terrifically talented students here at UCO," said Sloan, "and they are such hard workers."
cents Leave prayer out of school
The United States Senate recently voted to approve a "period of silence" for public school children and later backed it up with an agreement to bar funds to state or local agencies that try to bar prayer in public schools. Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., said the resolution would, among other things, "enable students to reflect on their religion." The question must be asked, "Why must the schools teach gradeschoolers religion and what religion will it teach?" I'm sure that the religious rightwing groups who would support this type of thing would be eager employers, Greenlee said. to point out that such things as sex The half-hour interviews end education and AIDS awareness with an evaluation by the employer training are taught in the public telling the prospective employee schools. how to improve an interview.

RESERVE OFFICERS'
The interests of the State are better served by an informed and knowledgeable population, and one that can intelligently plan its families and protect itself from disease than by people whose religious lives are ordered and imposed upon by bureauocrats. Which brings up the second point of which religion shall be taught? Televangelist Pat Robertson has said that America is a "Christian" nation; apparently founded of Christians, by Christians and for Christians. So it is obvious that we need not bother with any other religion that Americans might be inclined to believe in. The only thing left to iron out is just which denomination is to be chosen. There are those who may think it is silly to translate a "moment of silence" into religious oppression. But the fact of the matter of it is, that that is precisely what has happened in the past. That is why the currentban on prayer in schools was imposed in the first place and why the founding fathers of this nation did their level best to firmly put in place a "wall of separation" between church and state. The framers of the Constitution knew in 1776 that the most divisive issue any nation can face is religion in its public life. Considering the right wing's basic mistrust of government, I am surprised that so-called Christians would even want the state involved in anything so personal as their prayer life. It's not their prayer life they're worried about- it's yours. Terri King is a staff writer for

UCO wrestlers edge closer to another title Bronchos thump Nebraska-Omaha, head to regional tournament By Jimmy Hyde
Staff Writer The 1993-94 dual season ended last weekend for the No. 1- ranked University of Central Oklahoma wrestlers. The season ended with a Bronchos victory over the No. 8ranked University of NebraskaOmaha 29-6. The victory pushed UCO's record to 12-2 and marked the final home appearance of four wrestlers. Randy Zellner, 118 pounds, ended a 20-0 undefeated home career defeating No. 7-ranked Lim Prim 3-2. Zellner won with a late third-period escape. At 134 pounds, senior Ryan Martin upset No. 1-ranked Steve Costanzo 6-5. Top-ranked Wes White, 158 pounds, won a major decision over Jason Hudson 14-3 getting five takedowns and one near-fall.

UCO's all-time winningest wrestler, Keith Cunningham 167 pounds, racked up a 5-0 lead over Tony DeGeorge before winning by injury default in the first period. The Bronchos went on to get victories from Brian Melchiori, Jerry Best, Chad Humphrey and Robert Washington. "I felt we were a little too cautious in the third period at 126, 190 and 142. We gotta clean that up," said Head Coach David James. This is usually a heated battle as UNO were the runners-up to the national champion Bronchos last year and also the last NCAA II team to defeat UCO. The Bronchos had no problems with the Mavericks pushing their winning streak over NCAA II teams to 27. Next, the Bronchos head to Duluth, Minn. for the NCAA II Midwest Regionals. UCO is in search of its third straight NCAA II National Championship,

The one day tournament will serve as a qualifying meet for NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships, to be held March 4-5 in Pueblo, Colo. Twentyseven wrestlers will advance to the national tournament, the 10 individual champions and 17 wildcard selections. Other teams in UCO's region include Central Missouri, Minnesota-Duluth, Nebraska-Kearney, Northeast Missouri and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

The orientation leaders will have the chance to make friends with new students, said Dealy. They will expand their knowledge of UCO's campus and its workings. The orientation leaders will also

Red Cross offers disaster training for volunteers By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma students who want to be able to volunteer during disasters must have training first. The American Red Cross is offering disaster services training during February. "It's important for people to
understand...people come in and want to work, but they need the training," said Barbara Major from the Red Cross. The Red Cross is offering four classes during February that will enable a person to volunteer during disasters such as the flood in Oklahoma last May and the California earthquake, she said. The more training a person has the more helpful it is because he
Debate award named after UCO director of debate Jason Webb Student Writer
Doug Duke, assistant professor of oral communication and director of debate, had an award named after him January at the Great Midwest Debate at the University of Central Oklahoma. The School SweepstakesAward was renamed the J. Douglas Duke Award during the previous Great Midwest Debate held Jan. 14 -15. The award is for the school that does the best in all five categories, said Duke. The three team categories are championship, experience and novice; the two singles

Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas are the three states that are involved in the Great Midwest Debates which are held on campus and has headquarters in the Liberal Arts Building. Duke, who's been coaching debate at UCO since 1968, also won the Friend of Debate Award at the previous St. Louis University tournament. This tournament includes participants from Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, and the award is given to those who "contribute most to the activity," he said.
