The Student Voice Since 1903
Award-winning program ideas not put to practical use By Paul Eddy Staff Writer Those wondering why the ideas generated from the Employee Suggestion Program (ESP) have not been implemented need to direct their questions towards the administration, not the awards committee. Last fall, seven UCO employees received cash awards via the ESP. Although the awards committee has the power to grant awards, the authority to act on those suggestions rests with the administration, said Herb Giles, head of the committee. The committee met with President George Nigh yesterday to discuss the actualizing of the following suggestions: ✓ James A. Kowel's idea that
the university code all its mail in order to receive a discount from the U.S. Postal Service. ✓ Dr. G. Kay Powers' suggestion that the deans construct class schedules on their computers. ✓ Bobby Lopez's proposal for an addition to the payroll system that would improve the accuracy of figuring out how much leave each employee has used. Daniel J. Martin's ✓ recommendation that the hours of operations for student services be changed from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. to 9 a.m.-6 p.m. ✓ Dr. Donald D. Duffy's idea of expanding the hours of Hamilton Field House to allow faculty, staff and students more time to use the facilities. Pauline Garcia's ✓ proposition that UCO coordinate a field trip with seniors from
metropolitan high schools. ✓ Michael A. Millard's proposal for an inexpensive, nofrills newsletter for staff and faculty, listing the dates and times of campus activities. Each suggestion received was evaluated on six points: • Improvement in inter- and intra-departmental services as well as service to students and others. • Potential savings of UCO's money, time, space and resources. • Other benefits to UCO, including improved morale, public relations, communications, etc. • Originality. • The number of people that would be affected by the suggestion. • Improvement on present methods.

wo new on-campus services that will enable students to personally access their grades and school transcripts should be in place by the end of the semester. Machines allowing students access to their transcripts will be installed in each wing on the first floor of the Administration Building by next month, said
Jerry Legere, registrar and vice president for enrollment management. Students will be able to make copies of their transcripts free of charge by entering their Personal Identification Number (PIN) and Social Security number. The PIN will be issued by the school during the transitional period and afterward students will be able to create their own
PIN, said Legere. The new system won't threaten the jobs of employees working in the transcript office. "Doing transcripts is a small part of their jobs," said Legere. He said automation doesn't eliminate jobs but re-allocates time to provide better service. The new transcript service will be funded by student V See KIOSK, Page 3

peculators at The Daily Oklahoman wasted no time calling the dice on UCO President George Nigh's successor. On Feb. 14, just five days after Nigh announced he was putting himself out to pasture, The Oklahoman listed likely candidates for the post. The field included presidents from Northeastern State University and Rose State College, Roger Webb and Larry Nutter. Jerry Farley, vice president for administrative affairs at OU is on the ticket, as well as three players from the UCO stable, Clyde Jacob, Frank Wert and Lt. Gen. Richard Burpee. According to The Oklahoman, all those who might be jockeying for Nigh's position are "mum." Perhaps that is because the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges (BOROC), who will choose UCO's next president, has not yet formally discussed contenders. Placing a bet before the regents have met is putting the cart before the horse. But as long as we're speculating, why not throw in a few wild cards? We might even buck convention and add a filly to the line up. Exactly who could follow Nigh in the manner in which his UCO lackeys have become accustomed to? Out of the gate comes a hot favorite, Ronald Reagan. Can you hear him now? "Did I say 10 or 20 to make? Ten, you say? Isn't that what it's always been?" Heavy contender Oral Roberts would be a shoe-in. He's got the hair, he's got the friends in high places and most importantly—fund-raising savvy. Down the backstretch trots Donald Trump, for obvious reasons. Anita Hill is a long shot who would make our equity officer happy. She's not only a filly but a horse of a different color and an expert on sexual harassment policy to boot. Of course none of these picks have any educational qualification. That's OK, our races have recently been won by a "knows," as in who you know, not what you know. 4

Student raises point on sexual harassment I am very upset by the "Campus Quotes" column in the Feb. 8 issue of The Vista. In this column, five males gave fairly
reasonable definitions of sexual harassment and the only female interviewee, Jamie Lehner, gave an unbelievably sexist definition. Her definition of sexual harassment was "when a guy crosses the line and goes too far. When he tests his limits." This definition angers me at several levels. First, since when are guys the only ones who commit sexual harassment? As has happened to most men, I have been touched in ways by females that did not make me comfortable. Women are just as capable as men to grab behinds, chests or otherwise act inappropriately. Though fictitious, I believe the movie, Disclosure, makes my point. Second, this is the most unreasonable definition I have
heard. How does someone know when they have gone too far? Is a pat on the back going too far, a handshake? Finally, I noticed Miss Lehner is an elementary education major. As she obviously has hostility towards men, do we want this type of person teaching our children? Will she slant other things against males, AIDS education perhaps? This is just another example of how a closed mind is just as much to blame as the actual perpetrators of sexual harassment. No wonder some men have such a tough time with female authority, with all their rights eliminated. They must feel trapped and unable to defend themselves. With some women having such a slanted view of sexual harassment, I am surprised that there haven't been more "witch hunts" against men in authority. I agree that sexual
harassment should be clearly defined but I don't think a definition that is so strongly slanted against men will help promote equality between the sexes. I realize men have had too much power for too long, but I don't think the answer is giving women all the power. Equality will never happen as long both men and women keep their prejudices against each other. Once we truly understand each other, then we will truly have gender equity. P.S. I hope next time The Vista uses an opinion that more clearly represents the views of most women on the subject and sharing them in a more intelligent light.

activity fees. The university also signed a one-year renewable $5,000 contract with a technology firth that will enable students to access their semester grades through the telephone next fall. The system should be installed by the end of May, allowing students access to next fall's mid-term grades. There will be a phone line for every 500 students, said Legere. "That's pretty cheap, considering that there will be no hardware or maintenance costs," he said. "Students will access their grades by calling an 800 number." "They will key in their PIN and their Social Security number," said Legere. The system will repeat each course, grade and the student's grade point average. It will also inform a student of honors received and his or her academic probation status. The phone system will be supported by corporate sponsors. When students access the 800 number, they will hear a 60second advertisement from one of the companies. "For example, if the sponsor is an airline company, student(s) may receive a discount off their next flight," said Legere. After the advertisement, students will have the opportunity to pursue the offer or check their grades. He said a service like this would cost the university $100,000. With help from corporate sponsors, UCO will only have to pick up a $5,000 tab. _ "The system will keep track of how often they (the students) call and give them a different offer," said Legere. He said that students could receive three different offers, depending on how often they call.

Mudslinging part and parcel of early presidential races By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
A
s we celebrate Presidents' Day and observe this year's presidential primaries, Dr. Kenny Brown, assistant professor of history at UCO, reminds us that he mudslinging of today's elections are our historical heritage. During the campaigns of both Presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, "vicious lies and innuendo" were accepted as part of the ticket, he said. In Paul F. Boller, Jr.'s book Presidential Campaigns, the
author said the first presidential election in American history was thoroughly un-democratic. There were no primaries, nominating conventions... speeches or debates on public issues." Indeed, claimed Boller, on Election Day in Virginia, Washington ordered rounds for the House of Burgesses, who then elected him. The Gazette of the United States reported that a bystander saw voters swilling "160 gallons of rum, beer and cider." "The voice of the people is the voice of grog," he said.
As for "Honest Abe," that moniker is the work of pre-Civil War spin doctors, said Brown. Lincoln's opponents tried to foil the popular anecdote of the little girl who urged him to grow whiskers. When Lincoln replied to her, "I regret the necessity of saying I have no daughter," his enemies publicly reminded him of the illegitimate daughter he couldn't talk about. They went on to gloat that his wife knew and that was why she was so emotionally unstable.

Students' juried art show on display through Feb. 29 Exemplar Art
--
Exhibition IV is on display through Feb. 29 in the Donna Nigh Art Gallery. The juried show is an exhibit of works by UCO art students. Dr. Jo Ann Adams, gallery director, said the show has grown from last year's 13 competitors to 18 this year. "I am pleased that the students made the effort to submit their art work," she said. "The- judgment on the students' part to make decisions on which pieces to enter was a worthwhile experience, particularly if they intend to continue submitting work to jurored exhibitions." Merit awards of $25 were given to seven students: Marty Bernich, Deborah Clements (received two merit awards), Cathy Rowten, Donna Sandager, Daniel Shaffer, Cathryne Sorrels and Denise Wynia. Jolene Chappell's Color of White weaving won the Kathryn Kerr Kunc Best of Show Purchase Award and was bought for $300. UCO does not fund the show ; it all comes from donations by Presidential Partners, said Adams. Dr. William Hommel, chairperson of the visual arts and design department, said he was pleased to see the art students get exposure in shows outside those of the art department's. The gallery is open to the public during the operating hours of the University Center.

UCO wrestlers hold off Nebraska-Omaha By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer
Despite a back injury and lack of practice time, UCO 134-pounder Ryan Vratil sparked the top-ranked Bronchos to a 23-18 triumph over third-ranked Nebraska-Omaha Friday night at Hamilton Field House. "At 134 (pounds), we were

"(Ryan) had a back injury that was bothering (him), and (he) did not work during the week other than ride a little bike and obviously make our weight today. He was in a lot of pain so I give him credit there." Vratil's 8-7 decision over UNO's Ryan Isaacson broke a 3-3 tie and was the first of five straight victories for the Bronchos. Two-time national champion Jerry Best followed up Vratil's
match with a 23-8 match termination in 6:22 to give UCO a 10-3 lead, and when 167-pounder Chad Beeson pinned UNO's Phil Smart in 4:03 the four-time defending national champions owned a commanding 23-3 advantage.

UCO men continue to roll through conference Lady Bronchos experience downward spiral in Lone Star standings By Jeff Packham Sports Editor
The Bronchos continued their late-season march through the Lone Star Conference with victories over East Texas State and Tarleton State. Tyrone Hopkins scored 24 points, including a team-high five of the Bronchos' 16 threepointers, as UCO tripped up league-leading East Texas State, 89-83, Saturday night. The Bronchos came back from a 37-36 halftime deficit with Hopkins pouring in 19 of his points against the 20th-
ranked Lions. UCO was able to harass ETSU's Jason Hall, who came in averaging 22.1 points per game, into scoring just eight points, including only three after intermission. Tyshon Fisher scored 21 points, Al Segova added 15 points and a team-high 10 rebounds and Scott Sanders had 12 points for UCO. ETSU was led by Gregg Ward and Charles Ward, who scored 23 and 20 points, respectively. Against Tarleton State, UCO received 20-plus scoring outings from three players to neutralize a
28-point effort from Chris Givens in a 111-93 Broncho victory. Sanders scored 26 points, Segova added 24 points and a game-high 13 rebounds and Hopkins finished with 22 points for UCO. Marlon Jackson added 23 points and nine caroms for the Texans. The Lady Bronchos continued to struggle in losing two road conference games. Tarleton State overcame a one-point halftime deficit to defeat UCO, 85-59, and East Texas State cruised to a 94-78 win. Christy Heavin led UCO with
12 points against TSU and Kelly Seikel added 10 points off the bench. Angela Flynn also broke the Lady Bronchos' singleseason record for blocked shots with 38. Heavin had 22 points and nine rebounds, Mandy Carlson, Flynn and Seikel each scored 12 points, and Mary Rhodes added 11 points for UCO. The Lady Bronchos finish the season with home games against Texas Woman's Thursday and Texas A&M-Kingsville Saturday. The UCO men play on the road with a Saturday game with TAMUK.

Plan unveiled to lure job opportunities to Edmond UCO offers its 'intellectual resources' as member of the Edmond Technology Triad By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer As far as the economy goes, "Things are much better in Edmond than nationally," said Steve Kreidler, executive director of the Edmond Economic Development Authority. And it could get even better. Next month, the authority will unveil a plan called Edmond HQ, which it hopes will attract more businesses to Edmond. HQ means both headquarters and high quality, said Annette White, project manager. The Edmond Technology Triad has been developed as part of the plan. "UCO is an important part of the triad," said Kreidler. The other participants are financial institutions and technology firms. The firms targeted by the plan include computer software design and support firms, management consulting firms, regional headquarters, locallybased firms with a national service scope and serviceoriented firms in the legal, financial and medical areas. The goal is to put financial resources together with firms that need capital and use the intellectual resources of UCO to help firms solve their problems. A concern often cited by

companies is the need for better connections to higher education, said Kreidler. In addition to problemsolving resources, the firms hope to assist in preparing students to work for them after graduation. "When students choose to forego four years of their life...it behooves us to create jobs at the higher end of the pay scale— otherwise, we're sending them out of state," said Kreidler. But whether those jobs will be available in other states is debatable. Last month, AT&T announced it will lay off 40,000 workers. However, the economic picture for Oklahoma is brighter. "Despite corporate
Things are much better in Edmond than nationally. —Steve Kreidler executive director of the Edmond Economic Development Authority downsizing, Oklahoma had a net gain of 30,000 new jobs for the whole state (last year)," said Kreidler. The jobs in Edmond are primarily in the public sector. UCO is Edmond's largest
employer with 1,800 workers, followed by Edmond Public Schools with 1,400 employees and the City of Edmond with 515 employees. The largest private employer is Edmond Regional Medical Center with
413 employees, followed by Farley Foods and Fleming Foods, who employs 350 people each. The average household income of Edmond residents is $51,896. That's 17 percent above the national average and 47 percent above the state average. Figures released from the Labor Department last week show the overall 1995 increase in salaries nationwide was 2.9 percent over 1994's figure. Inflation trailed slightly behind the overall national pay increase and rose 2.5 percent at the consumer level. The increase V See JOBS, Page 10

FEBRUARY IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Housekeeper keeps hearts close to home By Judy Simpson Staff Writer
S
he cleans the bathrooms and removes the trash, but Linda J. Murphy is more than a housekeeper at Murdaugh Hall. Since 1982, she's been a friend, counselor and mother to the students who live in the UCO dorms. "She would comfort me when I was upset," said Renee Krapff, a two-year resident of Murdaugh Hall. Murphy was born the middle child of 15 children. With her mother ill and her father unable to care for her, she was taken from her parents three days after birth. She was raised in Memphis, Tenn. by a minister and his wife who were unable to have children. In the mid-60s, Linda had two children, a son and a daughter. She did not receive child support from the father and had to work full time and go to school at night. "It was very hard," she said. When her children were toddlers, her family sent her to
Guthrie, Okla. for job training in stenography (the art of writing in shorthand). Her children stayed in Memphis with her parents. While she was away, the father of the children and his family took her toddlers away from their elderly grandparents and moved to Florida. With little money and living far from home, she was unable to fight them legally. "I was so young," Linda said. "They took good care of them and they loved them," she said, so she decided not to fight the issue. While at school in Guthrie, she met her future husband of 22 years, Joseph, with whom she has had four children. Joe, as she calls him, was a chef and because of his job they moved frequently between Texas, New Mexico and Florida. While in Florida, she visited her son and daughter. That was the last time she saw them. "They're grown now; I probably wouldn't recognize them," she said, as her eyes grew moist. In 1982, Linda became tired of moving. The couple settled in Oklahoma City and she began
I love my job. I meet so many people and make a lot of friends. —Linda J. Murphy Housekeeper of Murdaugh Hall working at UCO. In 1993, Joe was admitted to the hospital because of a neck problem. He came out of surgery in a coma and died three weeks later. After that, Linda focused on her children and her job. Linda remains active in her church and devotes her time to her five grandchildren. She also enjoys taking walks and reading.

WHOLE-LISTIC HEALTH By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer For many students, college is a rough time of self-discovery and examination. It is often the first time away from family life and being completely independent. Sometimes living away from home can shed light on a family disease called alcoholism—that's right, a family disease. Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoAs) is a national organization that focuses on the difficulties of children who were reared by alcoholics, said Dr. Robert Jones, assistant professor of sociology and member of the group. Jones said when ACoAs try to develop their own lives, such as starting relationships, they run into problems that revert back to how they were raised. They will continue to stumble until they face the problem, he says. Researchers have looked at
Oh Professor!
Emotional Health other issues among ACoAs. Because of a lack of appropriate role models, many ACoAs experience difficulty with decision making, a perceived lack of control over their environment and decreased levels in coping skills. ACoAs often experience problems in interpersonal relationships. They have little experience with problemsolving in relationships and consequently, their decision making tends to be influenced externally rather than internally. "Children of alcoholics live
by three rules: don't trust, don't talk, don't feel," said Jones. Lack of trust comes from a parent saying he or she will be somewhere or do something and it never happens. The not talking part comes from constantly trying to conceal the "family secret." And not feeling is a form of self-protection. "The problem would be a lot easier to fix if it were just in our heads, but its hard-wired into our whole system and also controls things like who we're attracted to," Jones said. He said adult children of alcoholics often try to imitate their parents' relationship. "What happens is, a half circle will go out and try to find another half circle in an effort to become whole. That's an unhealthy relationship. "A healthy relationship is one where two complete circles walk side by side," Jones said. To find a local ACoAs support group, call 8438478. Pujan Roka
