The Student Voice Since 1903
Oklahoma's economy shows upward trends This is the final installment on a two-part series on the economy. By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer The economy appears to be doing better. So what does that mean in terms of jobs? The job market in Oklahoma is slightly better than the national average. The most recent statistics show unemployment in Oklahoma at 4.7 percent in November, 1995. At that time, the national average was 5.3 percent, according to figures from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. That's good news for UCO students since most who register with Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS) want to stay in Oklahoma, said Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of
CD&PS. "To narrow it down even .more, most want to stay in the Oklahoma City area," she said. Job searchers can rest a little easier because the number of companies visiting UCO to interview students increased 40 percent in Fall 1995 over Fall 1994. Gage attributes the increase to several factors. Companies are becoming more aware of UCO and telling others about the positive experience they have had with hiring UCO graduates. "Once they know what we have here, they're flocking," Gage said. The CD&PS recruits all year, not just around graduation time. Gage stresses that students need to register with CD&PS "earlier than you think." Although it varies by degree choice and individual, she recommends for best exposure,
students should register at least the semester before they graduate. Gage said occasionally a company visits the CD&PS and desperately needs an employee. They may even be flexible, letting a student work part-time and become familiar with the organization so they are ready to start full-time immediately after graduation. The increase in campus recruitment is a nationwide trend based on a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Some employers are visiting campuses to recruit for the first time. While the starting salaries have not increased much over last year, very few have decreased. For those who are still deciding what to study, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has made predictions about the job V See ECONOMY, Page 10

EDITORIAL
History can only repeat if we let it
F
rom'communists and fascists to our book—burning big brother, authority figures and government bodies have sought to control the free and open exchange of information among the common public. And Clinton's Feb. 8, 1996 signing of the Communications Decency Act of 1995 (CDA) has once again placed that control into the hands of the "authorities" rather than the masses. Via the CDA, our government has seized control of the last open exchange, the Internet. In essence, it has stripped away yet another strand of binding thread from its own constitutional fabric. But this unraveling of our Constitution and the First Amendment need not continue. The American public has a responsibility to fight for what it believes in. If you as a citizen want to retain the freedom to exchange information on a national, even global scale, it is important for you to understand freedom of choice. If another's eye offends you, don't pluck it out. Just stop yourself and your children from looking at it because someone else may find it pleasing. The CDA is a governmental attack on your right to communicate in a free and open forum. The selective removal of information or censorship can only lead us to ignorance and our country to ruin. The constitutional fight has already begun. During a 48—hour period following the CDA signing, thousands of Internet and World Wide Web sites turned their screens black in protest. But this is only part of the total sum. We, the public must respond now before our freedoms are torn away and the fabric of our constitution is destroyed. A

LETTERS
Chair says student voices 'absent'
I
n response to accusations made by Jessica Halliburton in her column in the Feb. 13 edition of The Vista, I would like to address some of her points. Halliburton, who covers the SGA for The Vista, knew in advance that the SGA was going to hold a special election. As Election Committee Chairman, I also notified The Vista office in writing as to the exact dates, times, locations and all necessary information concerning the election. However, when Halliburton's column was published, all of the times and
locations were erroneous. Halliburton also writes in her column that The Vista did not have time to run a story because the SGA couldn't make up their minds as to when to hold the election. The Vista had two editions the week before the election to run a story and did not do so, but Halliburton had time to write a column and get it submitted for publication. All of the blame for the "lack of information" cannot be placed on the shoulders of the SGA. The Vista doesn't seem to want to get information out. A story chronicling a newspaper even
when the next Student Association Vice President is being elected. Halliburton challenges the SGA to look in the mirror and recognize that student voices are absent in SGA. I issue her this challenge: look in your mirror and see that the student voices are absent in their newspaper. Derrek Belase UCO student —
Based on The Vista's deadlines, the information needed to inform the students about the election was not provided in time. The Vista apologizes for error in election times.
Broncho server needs more attention
A
few years back, when the Internet was hardly a household name, girl scouts had to putt up stalls to sell cookies. Software giants like Microsoft and Novell had to solely rely on magazines and seminars to launch new software. Now, it's all a new ball game. Everybody, from the girl scouts to IBM, wants a piece of the Internet pie. The trend of showing off your web site URL is ever growing. There is a great deal of information in this so-called
cyberspace. For instance, the `library of congress' consists of a list of all the books in the world that are written in English. Despite all budget constraints the school has finally issued login IDs to all its full time students until graduation. It's not only the computer or decision science classes but even some English professors constantly harp on this information superhighway. Handing in assignments via email has made classes all more exciting. At a time when the world has
never shrunk more, UCO appears somewhat reluctant in putting up enough information on its web site. Now that we have the Broncho server installed, the school should put in more information. International students who have access to the Internet from their homeland may not want to wait for a couple of weeks for the school's catalogue to make decisions to enroll. —

"I approached a lot of student organizations and stood outside of the polls to hand out fliers and talk to people during voting times," she said. Dustin Gregory, president of
SGA, said the low number of votes was expected. "There wasn't as big of a turnout as we would have liked, but that was expected because there wasn't that much publicity except word of mouth," said Gregory.

Ceremonial opening to establish city partnership By Roy Howe Guest Writer Oklahoma City's first downtown classes for credit and non-credit college courses began Jan. 15, with administrators now looking toward the summer schedule. To celebrate its inaugural class and all those to follow, a grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony will be held from 8:30-10 a.m.Feb. 23 at the classrooms' downtown site. Located on the fifth floor of the First National Center, 120 N. Robinson, the downtown classes feature instruction from five higher education institutes to better serve the downtown public. The Greater Oklahoma City
Higher Education Consortium includes The University of Central Oklahoma, Oklahoma City Community College, Oklahoma State University OKC, Redlands Community College and Rose State College—all working together to allow people who work or live in the downtown area a chance to pursue a higher education degree close to their homes and jobs. Classes have been arranged to accommodate the schedules of downtown employees as well; morning, lunchtime and afterwork classes are being taught. The ceremony's ribboncutters will be the first student to enroll at the downtown site, Lea Ingraham; presidents from the five institutions involved; Hans
Brisch, State Regents for Higher Education chancellor; and the head of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, Charles VanRysselberge. City officials, college dignitaries, downtown business leaders and students also have been invited to attend. The State Regents for Higher Education announced its support for the consortium at its regular meeting in September. Future plans within the Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) call for an education center to house the downtown classes next year. Dot Blythe, consortium onsite administrator, said current classes are moving along smoothly. "Students just love it,

especially when it comes to getting their books," she said. "They don't have to fight the crowds at the bookstores, because I go for them. They love the location, also, so it works out very well." Blythe said the consortium is gearing up for summer classes, which begin June 3. "We're offering four freshmen/sophomore credit classes this summer and two junior/senior level credit courses.
All summer credit classes will be offered during the lunch hour." The consortium is offering about 20 non-credit classes this summer, also, Blythe said. Students already admitted to one of the five institutions can enroll in a downtown class by fax and counselors will be available to assist new students in May.

DeGeneres is Martha Alston, a talent coordinator for a local TV talk show that smacks suspiciously of Regis & Kathie Lee. Bill Pullman, as DeGeneres' Mr. Wrong, can seem to do no wrong. Fresh from his success as the romantic lead in the hit movie While You Were Sleeping (let's all forget Casper, shall we?), Pullman pulls off another winner. The movie begins with the saccharine-sweet wedding of Martha's sister. As Martha sits around looking fat and forlorn, her well-meaning folks are laying on to her

SPORTS
Broncho baseballers to begin regular season By Jeff Packham Sports Editor An optimistic outlook is on the horizon for the Broncho baseball team as they look to improve on last season's 27-25 record. UCO, who enters the season ranked 30th in Division II, will open at home tomorrow at 1 p.m. with a doubleheader against second-ranked Central Missouri State, the start of 17 straight home games for the Bronchos. UCO split last season's series with CMSU, losing 3-0 and winning 4-3. The Bronchos have high expectations placed upon them, as evidenced by a preseason poll selecting them to win the Lone Star Conference. Third baseman Shane Smith, a preseason favorite for conference player of the year,returns to lead the Bronchos offense. He sports a .332 career average and needs only eight doubles and ten home runs to break school career records. Smith, a first-team Allconference pick in 1994, should improve on his .289 average and 22 runs batted in last season. Defensive specialist Clint Cowan, a second-team A1l-LSC
player last season, returns to roam center field for UCO. Cowan, who will bat lead off, batted .309 and had an 80percent success rate on the base paths last season. Other returnees from last season are expected to make a smooth transition from the bench to starter status. They include Parrish Matthews, Greg Lawson, Darrin Garrison and Todd Colton. Matthews, who saw extensive action late in the season last year, is locked in as the starting left fielder this season. He was the second-leading batter last season with a .364 average and has started 65 games in his UCO career. The first baseman's job should go to Lawson, who should provide much needed power for the Bronchos despite his paltry .217 average and three home runs last season. Garrison has locked up the starting shortstop position for UCO. A key reserve the last two seasons, Garrison finished with a .286 average in 1995. The catching duties will probably be platooned with Colton and Justin James doing most of the work. Both are
excellent defensively and improvement at . the plate could determine starting status. Colton batted only .095 last season and James is a transfer from Eastern Oklahoma College. The other positions will be filled by newcomers Brad Gray, Zac Zanowiak, Anthony Cellers, Pat Koerner and Brian Yost. Gray and Zanowiak will battle for the starting second baseman's position. Gray transferred from Houston for his final season and Zanowiak is a freshman. Cellers transferred from national powerhouse Seminole Junior College and will instantly start in right field. Cellars, who can play all three outfield positions, can hit for power and average and has good speed. Koerner will be the starting designated hitter, but could see time at catcher and first base as well. Yost will see action at DH and will also back up first base. Others who might see limited action for the Bronchos are Brandon Bagwell, Greg Ireton, Jerrod Nelson and Vince Wallace. Pitching should be a strength for UCO, with four pitchers returning to anchor UCO's staff. Lefthander Greg Hall, a
preseason first-team allconference pick, hopes to improve on last year's 3-3 record and 3.57 earned run average. Hall, who will be the staff ace, has a career 10-5 record for the Bronchos. Southpaw Loan Dollins and righthander Justin Bernard also will have spots on the starting staff. Dollins was 3-3 with a 3.82 ERA and Bernard comes
off a 4-3 season.ERA last season. Newcomers Michael Fox, David Meek and Scott Taylor will compete for the other spots. Mitch Willingham returns to be the ace reliever for UCO. Other new Bronchos who will pitch out of the bullpen will be Jeremy Eduvigen, Ludy Griggs, Reagan Caram and Jason Sawvell.

UCO hoops shooting for LSC tournament berths By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer If the regular season were to end today, both of Central Oklahoma's basketball teams would be in the Lone Star Conference Tournament. While the men have secured a berth in the postseason, the women, however, have not. The men's and women's teams close out the regular season this weekend as the men travel to Kingsville, Texas to face Texas A&M-Kingsville Saturday and the women host Texas Woman's 7 p.m. tonight and Texas A&M-Kingsville 2 p.m. Saturday at Hamilton Field House. The men are fourth in the LSC with a 17-8 overall record and a 8-5 conference record and should host a tournament game Tuesday next week. The women are in sixth place with a 9-15 overall mark and a 3-11 conference record and would travel to the third-place team's
home in a tournament game Tuesday. The Lady Bronchos must win one of their games this weekend to secure a berth, but they face the fifth-place and third-place teams in the LSC. "I have never failed to make the tournament since we've been here and it's a personal goal of mine," UCO women's .head coach John Keely said. "We've done the job before, we've just got to get it done and try to take care of business." Forward Angela Flynn, who set a single-season school record for blocked shots, has a chance to set another record for field goal percentage. Her .578 shooting percentage is close to Shene Murphy's school record of .577, set in the 1990-91 season. The men face another challenge in Texas A&MKingsville, the conference coleader. Javelina forward DeRon Rutledge leads the conference in rebounds with 10.2 per game and averages 21.0 points.
The Bronchos, who lead NCAA Division II for the fourth straight year with a 102.4 scoring average, have won eight of their last nine and are fresh off an 89-83 victory over conference leader East Texas State. UCO men's basketball coach Jim Seward hopes the team is throwing a scare into opponents with their play. "I think we're continually sending a message at the end of the year that we're playing well," said Seward, who coached
tfie Bronchos to their first-ever gotta believe we're playing well LSC tournament championship and that we're going to be a last season. "We should get to factor as the season concludes." Senior forward Al Segova host a firstwas named LSC Player of the round Week for his performance in playoff two Broncho victories last game • and week, scoring a career-high 24 we'd be in points and grabbing 12 a position rebounds in a 111-93 win over to go to Tarleton State and scoring 15 probably points and taking down 10 East Texas rebounds against East Texas and I think State. at this Al Segova point they

second preliminary hearing for a UCO custodian charged with three felony counts of child molestation is scheduled for March 1, said Logan County Assistant District Attorney Richard Smothermon. Persha "Bud" Pair, 40, has been charged with two counts of anal sodomy of two boys and first-degree rape of one girl all under the age of 16. Pair was arrested Sept. 11 by UCO police acting on a warrant issued by a Logan County Sheriff's Deputy. Blanche Washington, director of personnel services, said that if an employee of the university is convicted of a felony, the university would have grounds to dismiss the employee. Pair is still employed as a custodian at UCO. On

Council voted last summer to add a business course to the existing curriculum, said Joseph Johnson, dean of the college of business administration. "It's hard not to have a business component when what we are doing as a metropolitan university is training people for
the world," he said The exact course that will appear in the catalog has not been chosen but university officials are aiming to narrow it down by December. "A freshman will be the most affected," said Johnson. The new requirement will not
affect students who have already finished their general education requirements. "We didn't want to pull the rug from underneath them. We try to let students who start on one academic cycle continue through on that cycle," said Johnson.

Communications Decency Act to enforce V-chip installation By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
As of Feb. 8, it is a federal offense to electronically transmit "obscene or indecent" images to anyone under 18 years of age. But problems with the language used in The Communications Decency Act of the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996 that was recently signed by President Clinton make it unenforceable. The act calls for development of devices that block transmission of materials that are rated unsuitable for children. The law states that new televisions are to be manufactured with a device called a V-chip that would block selected programs. Dr. Jack Deskin, director of broadcasting and professor of oral communications at UCO said the suggested V-chip (V is for violence) chips away at First Amendment rights of free speech. A V-chip won't work for the Internet and neither the rating system, nor the technology exists, said Deskin. He said "Anytime we pass a law that has anything to do with freedom of speech or press, or deals with the First Amendment, it opens up court proceedings." The First Amendment guarantees "Congress shall make

no law...prohibiting the free exercise of...speech...or of the press." The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed suit against the bill as soon as Clinton signed it into law, reported representatives at ACLU national headquarters. According to the union, Judge Ronald L. Buckwalter agreed that the "indecency" provisions are vague and unconstitutional. He granted a temporary restraining order against prosecution of individuals under
the Communications Decency Act. If the act were enforced, the V-chip would recognize an "R" rated program and block its transmission. The chip function can be thought of as the reverse of a closed caption device that only prints the audio portion on television sets equipped with it. The picture and sound of a TV program are transmitted along with other signals that can't be seen or heard, said Deskin.

"FACES" is a non-profit event where the different International Student Organizations of OKC University will be coming together and celebrating their cultural differences through individual theatrical performancesThis year's theme is 'Expression". It will provide a unique opportunity for those who wish to experience various forms of multi-cultural expressions.
The V-chip recognizes certain programs by their assigned ratings and blocks their transmission, he said. Joe Kilsheimer of The Orlando Sentinel said in an article provided over American Online reports "supporters of the act said it protects children from
pornography and cyberstalkers." But Kilsheimer has another way to deal with the problem of pornography on the Internet. "The worst images are found in the Internet's Usenet newsgroups.... But looking at the images is not a simple matter of clicking on a file. "Pictures and sounds tend to be congregated in newsgroups that have the word 'binaries' as part of their name." Such files can't be accessed without decoding software specific to that newsgroup. If one doesn't want "dirty pictures" on one's computer, don't install the software, said Kilsheimer. He also warns that Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler magazines have their own home pages that parents might not want kids to see. Deskin said TV stations and online services have to have an audience to stay in business, He said an old saying in broadcasting circles might apply to parental concerns better than a government mandate. "If you don't like what's coming into your home, turn off your TV set."

Student finance courses deemed waste By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer I'm weary of people who blame the economy for being poor.
Column It's so boring. It's like all poor people were cut from the same circumstantial cloth. But there are lots of reasons people are poor. I'm poor because I'm a student. Not that poor, but then I'm not that much of a student. Now they're talking about making us all take personal finance (for which, ironically enough, they charge $129). I've got a better idea. Why don't they all take student finances? I'll be the dean and supply all the lessons. Lesson number one: "student
finances" is an oxymoron. Remember, we have no money. Class will be held al fresco due to low departmental funds. Lesson two involves ingenious cost effective (read cheap) measures for emergencies. Students will learn to implement community resources. For example, when my boys left their fishing poles, baited with tasty cat fish bait, inside the front door. Our puppy sniffed it out in no time and hooked himself clean through his little spotted lip. The poor pooch was yelping like a love-sick coyote as he streaked around the house reeling himself out. "Call the vet, Mom," ordered my hysterical sons. Nonsense, I countered, dialing 911. The fire department responded immediately with sirens, flashing lights and a motorcade at no charge to this frugal student—and they were
all lots cuter than any highpriced vet. Emergencies like a blown out pilot light on a furnace might send the uneducated shivering to the phone to call a repair person. With just a few tears, this wise thrift-lover summoned the gas company, again, gratis. For added drama, I dialed 911 and disguised my voice by holding my nose and speaking into a sock slipped over the phone. "I (sob) smell gas, and I feel (gasps) faint. I'm all alone with (sob, sob) my (gasp) babies," I said. The dispatcher must have studied student finances. "Is that

Gondoliers to begin today By Paul Eddy Staff Writer UCO's production of The Gondoliers will run at 8 p.m. Feb. 22-24, and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 25 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. The opera is set in San Antonio during the Cinco de Mayo festival and is a spoof of mistaken identities. Two-men garner the attention of 24 maidens, and a game of Blind Man's Bluff ensues to determine which maidens will be married. Unfortunately, the arrival of a Spanish Grandee disrupts the fragile situation when he announces that one of the men was already betrothed to his daughter and is now the King of Barataria. The play is directed by UCO music professor Carveth Osterhaus and the dance choreography is by UCO dance student Jennifer Martinez.
