The Student Voice Since 1903

up, in arms over lack, Priorities•FacuitY • of raises, neglected needs

By Iris Knight Staff Writer There are serious concerns among the faculty over the lack of pay raises for the past three years, said Dr. Stephen Law, president of the UCO Faculty Senate.

"I hope that the projects that are being undertaken for revenue enhancement are going to bear fruit soon," said Law. "Otherwise, the faculty are going to be so embittered by being neglected, in terms of salary and instructional needs of the university."

"If you figure we've gone three years without a salary increase, by inflation alone, we're about 10 percent behind where we

were when President Nigh took over the university," said Law. Tom Guild, president of the UCO chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) said assistant professors, instructors and lecturers haven't received a pay raise for five years.

Law said the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education have stated that faculty salaries need to be a top priority.

"Faculty at Oklahoma colleges and universities received salaries in 1993-94 that were, on average, 17 percent below the national average for similar public institutions," said Chancellor Hans Brisch from the Regents.

Did 'refusal' to acknowledge a student's disability turn her grades upside-down?

A UCO student said the university failed to accommodate her learning disability, and now she may turn to the law for help.

When Gayla Johnson enrolled for Spring '94, she provided medical documentation that she had reading comprehension disability, a form of dyslexia.

Johnson took History and Theory of Design taught by Dr. Jim Watson. She said she felt Watson was inconsiderate to her needs.

"Watson provided a note taker , which was helpful, but he didn't even give me the full class period to take the test," said Johnson.

Under the Rehabilitation Act and the newly enacted Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), once a person shows that one or more of their major life activities are limited, the university must provide reasonable accommodations, said attorney Mark Nation, who frequently practices in the area of disability law.

According to Nation, the only two ways an institution could escape its duties would be to show that (1) accommodations of the person posed a health or safety risk to the disabled person or others around that person or (2) providing reasonable accommodations would cause an undue hardship on the institution.

Reader says 'freshman' is sexist word

Salaries, education should come first We, the students, feel we "deserve" what we pay for. A quality education.

And as far as our faculty members are concerned, they should be paid a "respectable" amount for the difficult task they, too, have.

Dedication alone won't pay the bills—not for students or faculty. Let's "trim the trees" of this flowering university a bit.

Let's start from the top, the area that has grown the most since UCO President George Nigh was elected.

Administrative and "professional," or other 'higher-up' positions, hires number over 26 for the last two years. New faculty numbers over nine.

While the faculty at UCO are not specifically looking for "new hires," they are looking for a piece of their pie. The campus around them is growing and growing...but their incomes do not.

The cost of "new accounts" in Nigh's administration is an ear-rattling piece of change. It's over $945,164 (reported).

The new administrators' cash pot has risen from $343,885 to $1,005,941 over the past year alone. Where is all the money going? Administrative employees are still getting raises—faculty are not.

Nigh has said numerous times that funds from one area are specifically allotted and cannot just be - diverted," but he often fails to mention that it would just take a proposal submitted to the State Regents for Higher Education, and an approval (which is not always easy, but if he meant it, he should at least try).

What about his "buddy system" that he refers to so often when talking about funding? Could Nigh not use some of the funds donated to "general" purposes for faculty raises?

The faculty's attitude rubs off on every single student at the university. How their morale holds up is vital to the educational productivity and success of their students. Unhappy professors and low esteem leaves students in a position of the "neglected stepchild" syndrome. The faculty has more to worry about and more to do, with less and less gratification— and less time to tend to their "children."

We can't afford not to do more for the faculty at UCO. We will still need the quality education system—even after the university construction projects are finished. We need to remember to maintain what good we've got now.

rammatical convention that uses masculine pronouns to refer to (indefinite pronouns) are no longer in practice. Women who comprise half of the population and have equal rights in every aspect of life are being excluded just by use of pronouns like he,

his, him, himself and mankind.

The use of the word "Freshman" in universities and academic institutions represents only masculine students in all academic institutions. It excludes approximately half of the women's representation from academic institutions, thereby dis-

torting reality and unfairly discriminating on the basis of their sex. In my view, the word "freshman" should be replaced with words like "fresh-person," "freshstudent" or "pre-sophomore," or with any other suitable word.

Editorial praised for outing Keating's 'antics'

B

ravo to the editorial in the Feb. 14 issue revealing our new governor's latest antics. Perhaps his memory is failing him, but I've noticed that Mr. Keating has already renegaded on several of the campaign vows he made on this very campus last fall.

I feel a particular sting of shame knowing that I voted for him against my party because I believed him when he told students, faculty and staff in the UCO Pegasus Theatre that Higher Education was the "saving grace" of the state. As one of his top three campaign priorities, Keating told us, "If I'm elected,

Higher Education will be one of the first two funding priorities."

Little did we know that it was a cut in funding, not an increase, he had in mind. A mere four months after promising a better future for Higher Education, he has proposed to cut the Higher Ed budget by $14 million, while asking students to pay more in tuition, thus forcing students to pay more and get less.

Staff and faculty can kiss any hope of a raise good-bye, and with the latest hiring freeze, many people are without hope of getting jobs in the Higher Ed system at all—leaving many departments understaffed and

overworked, in addition to already being underpaid.

We are now learning that Keating's definition of "funding priority" slightly differs from that of the rest of the world, and that for Higher Ed to gain more, students, staff and faculty must give up more.

I don't mind paying my fair share of tuition. It is, after all, my education. But I do mind being lied to by a state official on a quest for power, particularly our highest state official.

—Julie Dye UCO student

`Student Voice' needs more faculty news

I

must assume that recent black and white editorial "Opinions" (The Vista, Feb. 16) are the result of attempts to censor "The Student Voice Since 1903." It is a sad state of affairs when the First Amendment Rights are not even honored in the halls of academia.

While I applaud your efforts to get UCO faculty and staff to stand up for their salary concerns (The Vista, Feb. 14), I would like to point out that numerous employees have already made their "opinions" known to President Nigh through the agency of their representative bodies, the Faculty Senate and the UCO chapter of the AAUP. The humorous cartoon—which implied that faculty and staff are afraid to stand up for their economic rights—is an unwarranted representation of the situation.

Your editorial also makes the assumption that faculty and staff have been given the information they need to formulate reasonable assessments of their economic situation. Perhaps there would be greater "voiced concern" if The Vista reported on some of the key issues that affects us all.

Although yours is a student run newspaper, you must remember that the university is a functioning dynamic between students, faculty, staff and administration. In academia, like

everywhere else, what affects the part affects the whole.

As a case in point, I note that in the last three months, The Vista has failed to report on any of the following information issues that have come before the Faculty Senate: 1.

Since 1992, expenditures for professional salaries have risen by 23.3 percent, and teaching salaries by 7.9 percent.

2.

In this same period, we have added 36 new executive and professional positions to the budget, and nine full-time faculty members. It is not reassuring that we have also added 55 new adjuncts.

3.

The Regents, noting that Oklahoma faculty salaries are 17 percent below the national average, advised that salary increases should be a top priority for formulating the Fiscal budget for 1994/95. What happened?

4.

Last year, the administration put together an employee survey that clearly indicated that salary issues are a primary concern of both faculty and staff.

The average faculty 5. salary figures cited by administrators are skewed by a few individuals who are compensated for

extra duties. Almost all of UCO faculty make less than the "average" of their particular level of employment.

The Education and 6.

General Budget that determines how much money gets spent on what, has undergone serious reorientations of its priorities over the last three years.

Substantial increases for administration and public service have come at the expense of instruction and academic support.

(And, of course, the depletion of the "reserves.")

We are facing serious 7. budgetary shortfalls over the next two years with little or no reserves. Several million dollars have been spent on "special projects."

Needless to say, there are monetary woes on every front at UCO, and it is a more complicated situation than just the "rumblings" of educators and staff.

UCO is terribly underfunded.

Your editorial calls for a "strong and united voice."

Remember that the "Student Voice Since 1903" needs to live up to its higher mission of being the "Campus Voice of 1995."

2 student job fairs scheduled tomorrow SPJ job fair to be held at OU The second annual Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) job fair will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 24 at the University of Oklahoma.

The event is designed to teach print journalism students "what it takes to find a job and what to expect once you do," said Kathryn Jenson White, director of student publications at Oklahoma City University.

White said two 45-minute sessions with newspaper editors and recent journalism graduates are on the agenda.

Issues that will be covered include networking, job realities and ideal working attitudes.

The job fair last year indicated that job experience, either from internships or student newspapers, is important, said White.

Seventy-five students from community, private and state colleges and universities are expected this year, she said.

White encouraged students to bring copies of their resumes and clipfiles.

"Your clipfiles should be a collection of three to five of your best stories," she said.

The event is free to the public.

Smoking is not as easy to quit as it seems, UCO students say

By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer UCO student Paula Waterman raked her hand through her short, blond hair while she took a long drag from her cigarette.

"Quitting is the hardest thing you can do," said the petite English major.

And Waterman should know.

A smoker for 7 years before she decided to take a two-year hiatus from the habit, she recently returned to her former ways.

"I smoke when I get stressed out," she said between puffs.

Peer pressure was also a major contributing factor, said Waterman.

While friends might help one another pick up the habit, they were usually less than cooperative when it came to help in quitting it.

They would come to you like this,"—Waterman sauntered over to her friend, Trey, and blew smoke in his face— ''And say, 'Hey, so how's it going?

Heard you were quitting."

She shook her head. "They catch you at your weakest moment, after you had a really (tough) day, and you can't resist."

Trey, an English/philosophy major who declined to give his last name, nodded his head in agreement.

Trey tried everything, short of hypnosis, to quit smoking.

"I've even stuck nicotine patches all over my body, but they do not work," he said.

Waterman said she worried often about her health.

In a pamphlet by the Michigan-based Hope Heart Institute, smoking is said to be responsible for about a third of cancer deaths.

25 UCO students scheduled to participate in fifth annual 'College Advertising Awards'

By Kelley Beard Student Writer

Antibiotics are losing their 'punch' ATLANTA (AP) — As antibiotics lose their punch. doctors may soon turn to bacteria-killing viruses and other kinds of germ-to-germ warfare to keep common microbes in check.

Humans have had the upper hand against bacteria since the 1940s, when penicillin and other antibiotiCS came into use.

Nowadays. the bugs are winning. They have become harder to kill by developing resistance to the most powerful drugs. and super germs are evolving faster than scientists can create new medicines. Experts now routinely speak of the coming post-antibiotic era. when bacteria will once again be unstoppable.

No approach is likely to be as convenient as antibiotics. since each treatment will have to he tailored against a specific microbe. Indeed. part of antibiotics' downfall has been their ease of use. Through random genetic mutations, germs develop immunity to these drugs. And as the medicines are used more and more. the resistant germs are taking the place of the susceptible ones.

`World's oldest person' turns 120 PARIS (AP) — Jeanne Calment has outlived the rest of her family. but the woman said to be the world's oldest person had plenty of company and attention as she turned 120.

More than 5.000 birthday cards from around the world have arrived at her nursing home in southern France. including messages from France's president and prime minister.

Research into her ancestors determined that an usually high proportion of them lived far longer than the norm for their eras. including many in the 17th and 18th centuries who lived into their 70s. Her father died at 94 and her mother at 86.

The Guinness Book of Records lists Mrs. Calment as the oldest person in the world whose age can be authenticated. In seven months and 22 days, she would surpass Shigechiyo lzumi — a Japanese man who died in 1986 -- as the oldest person of all time with a verifiable birth date.

UCO's Advertising Campaigns class will be participating in this year's Fifth Annual Citibank College Advertising Awards.

The class of 25 students will work in teams to put the entries together.

"Anybody could participate, but they have to follow the same deadlines that we are following so that we can get our entries in on time," said Robert J. Illidge, UCO journalisrn instructor.

Entries should be submitted to Illidge no later than March 9.

After 1 0 days of tests, treatments and prayers, Nelson was given the injection to end his suffering from an incurable brain virus.

The 110-pound snub-nosed rhinoceros was born Feb. 11, Sweden's first born in captivity. He was named for the president of his indigenous South Africa, Nelson Mandela.

Nelson was ill from the start, and Swedes poured out their hearts to the sickly, brown-skinned rhino.

Nelson's picture and condition updates appeared daily in newspapers and on television. Special funds were begun to pay for his care. Veterinarians eventually determined Nelson suffered from a brain virus, but they were unable to save him. .

Telescope might answer questions AMUNDSEN-SCOTT SOUTH POLE STATION, Antarctica (AP) — Astronomers are setting up a new radio telescope that will scan for vast carbon clouds in neighboring galaxies as well as tiny molecules in Earth's atmosphere.

Tony Stark, an astronomer from the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, is overseeing the setup of the new AST-RO telescope. AST-RO stands for Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory.

AST-RO will examine the distribution, temperature and physical condition of carbon atoms in space. They are at the heart of some of the key questions about the evolution of the universe.

The idea is to take advantage of Antarctica's zero percent humidity and the high altitude of the pole — 9,515 feet — to get above much of the distorting effects of the atmosphere.

Tom Bania, a professor from Boston University, said ASTRO can be viewed as "a very low-Earth-orbit satellite" that will gather data you cannot get any other way except from rocket-lofted satellites. AST-RO will cost about $4 million for the first five years of the project.

UCO holds off Buffaloes, 89-80 Bronchos snap West Texas A&M's 6-game win streak despite letdown'

Sending a message of homecourt dominance to Lone Star Conference rivals, Central Oklahoma topped surging West Texas A&M 89-80 Monday night in Hamilton Field House.

Having already clinched the LSC title on Saturday, 15thranked UCO, 10-1 at home this season, will host the semifinals and finals of the league's postseason tournament March 3-4.

"We didn't want to lose this game because people coming here now for the postseason tournament, I think, would say, `well, hey, obviously they're vulnerable,'" said Jim Seward, coach of the Bronchos.

The stingiest defensive team of the LSC, West Texas A&M made UCO look plenty vulnerable in the first half as they led on five occasions before trailing 3937 at halftime.

However, Broncho forward Junie Sanders scored 13 of his team-high 19 points in the second half to spark UCO. "We were playing a little lackadaisical, letting them hang around a little bit," said Sanders, who also pulled down 14 rebounds. "I didn't want to mess around and lose to them, so I felt I had to come out and step it up."

After a Martin Lattibeaudier jump shot, the Buffaloes pulled within 60-58 at 8:49.

UCO then reeled off 16 straight points, highlighted by a Sanders' dunk, to take command of the game with 5:03 left.

The Bronchos' Ed King and Scott Sanders each scored 16 points and Zoderick Green added 13 to go along with eight assists.

WTAMU was led by Joe Thompson's 22 and Cederick Wilbon's 20.

Wilbon scored 16 of his points in the first half but was limited to only four in second half.

"It was kind of by coincidence that when we were trapping he was the guy we were leaving open," said Seward. "We did a better job of finding him in the second half."

The Lady Bronchos managed to tie the score at five at the 16:36 mark but were held to one point in the next eight minutes as the Lady Buffaloes went on a 121 run.

The second half was all WTAMU as UCO never got within 15.

"Defensively, I would let them have 75 anytime.

Defensively, we did fine," UCO coach John Keely said. "It's the

offensive side that killed us."

The Lady Bronchos struggled the whole game, with the bench scoring only nine points all of which were in the second half.

UCO hit a meager 25 percent from the field for the game and 23 percent from long distance.

The Lady Bronchos, now 815 overall and 6-7 in the LSC, go head-to-head with Texas Woman's University tonight in Denton.

The Buffaloes, who had a sixgame winning streak broken, entered the game with more motivation than UCO, said Seward.

"The momentum of the game, psychologically, was with West Texas because they're playing for seeding in the tournament," said Seward. "I hate to say there was a letdown, but I think there was."

UCO is now 18-6 overall and 10-2 in the LSC. WTAMU fell to 17-8 and 6-5.

The Bronchos finish the regular season with a pair of nonconference games when they host Tarleton State Saturday night before traveling to Lawton to make up a previously postponed game with Cameron.

UCO Archives to present Edmond family's `significant' contribution to American history

By Farzana A. Razak

Staff Writer UCO Archives and Special Collections will exhibit -Gower Family Contribution to Oklahoma History" as a part of its tribute to "African American Contribution to Oklahoma" through April at Evans Hall, Room 103.

The exhibits, on loan from Mrs. Myrtle Gower Thomas, include copies of her family's homestead papers from The Run of 1889 and photos of the restoration of the Gower Memorial Cemetery, located at Covell Rd. between Douglas blvd. and Post rd.

The Gower Memorial Cemetery was recently listed in the National Register of Historical Places as a site significant to American history.

The process of establishing the land began in 1889, when African American homesteaders staked claims in a community settlement known as "Nonsey" by the Oklahoma Cemetery Records of Oklahoma County, Volume 2.

The African American settlement became an advanced group when segregation was still alive.

The homesteaders each relinquished a portion of their 160-acre land to build schools, churches and cemeteries.

On Sept. 19, 1889, homesteaders John A. and Ophelia Gower filed a homestead application and were granted establishment of the Gower Cemetery in Nov. of 1889.

The cemetery is presently active and is the only extant symbol of this African American community settlement.

The Gower Cemetery was deeded to the founders' elder son, Willie T. Gower Sr., on

The 'not-so-known' black history How activist Ida B. Wells led the crusade against 'arbitrary lynchings'

By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer

M

artin Luther King and Malcom X are powerful names in African American History.

However, few Americans today have heard of Ida B. Wells, yet she was one of the most famous black journalists in America.

According to the Black Collegian, Wells was a correspondent for the Detroit Plain-Dealer and The Christian Index. She also wrote for the New York Age and several other newspapers around the country.

However, UCO journalism instructor Dr. Charles Simmons believes Wells played an important part in American history by leading the fight against the arbitrary lynching of black people.

Simmons described Wells as a forthright person who was not afraid to stand up for what she thought was right.

While teaching at a black school in Memphis, Tenn., Wells began working as co-editor at the Memphis Free Speech. As a school teacher, her goal was to correct the conditions in the black public schools, Simmons said.

The white members of the school board gave all the white school's "hand-me-downs" to the

black schools Simmons Upset that she would said. Some of the things dare to write such things, were useless and broken.

That nowhere in the civilized city officials told her that "Wells thought this black men were guilty of world, save in the United raping white women. deplorable As co-editor of the Memphis Free Speech, At that time it was fine States, do men go out in she would write frequently for a white man to have bands of fifty to hunt down, sex with black women. about it in the paper," he added. shoot, hang and burn to death However, the penalty for The school board didn't a black man who a single individual unarmed engaged "take kindly" to seeing this in sex with a and absolutely powerless. in print, and when her annuwhite woman was death, al contract as a teacher Simmons said. —Ida B.

Wells then sat around and waited for the mob to come. However, after several months had gone by and no-one came, Wells decided to tour the Northeastern United States and ended up in New York, he said. hile in New York, Wells was visited by the editor of the New York Age who told her, "You will have to make this your home here now." When she asked him why, he showed her a copy of a southern newspaper stating the Memphis Free Speech had been destroyed.

"History has it recorded that as soon as she wrote that editorial, a crowd came around and ran her out of town.

"That's not true, she was not run out of town because they never came," Simmons said.

The paper never started up again and Ida Wells continued the fight against the lynch law in New York.

The Black Collegian states that Wells wrote a letter to President William McKinley in support of the lynch law. In it she stated: "That nowhere in the civilized world, save in the United States, do men go out in bands of fifty to hunt down, shoot, hang and bum to death a single individual unarmed oz, and absolutely powerless."

DISABLED continued from front page "It would then be the burden of the institution to show this, and that is extremely difficult," said Nation.

Nation said that under this law, Johnson's request was not unreasonable.

"Providing accommodations like giving someone extra time to take a test, neither creates an undue hardship, nor affects the health or safety of the disabled person or others," he said.

Loyd R. Owsley, acting-adaptive-coordinator, said the university, once notified of the condition, sends a letter to the student's professor(s) asking them to help fit the student's needs.

Those needs vary depending on the disability—like tape recording a class, additional testing time or perhaps paying for a classmate to take notes for the disabled student.

Watson said he was notified of Johnson's disability by a letter from former Equity Officer Rick Dimit, and provided Johnson with a note taker.

"I think some of the problem is that she wasn't clear on her disability, and what she wanted done about it," said Watson.

Watson said that he tried to work with Johnson.

The offer I made for Gayla is that she could take the test orally...but she didn't want to do that," Watson said.

Johnson said that she took her

problem to both Dr. William L. Hommel, chairperson and associate professor of Visual and Art Design, and then, Equity Officer Rick Dimit saying that she believed 'Watson wouldn't work with her and she wanted an incomplete for the course, but the problem still went unresolved.

When contacted about the problem, Dimit said that he couldn't comment on Johnson's particular case, but he was convinced that the university and faculty work very hard at accommodating students with disabilities.

Dimit did say that the vast number of requests from students

with disabilities was additional time for taking tests.

Chairperson Hommel said that he didn't recall talking with Johnson, but that normally if the student couldn't work it out with the professor, then all three of them would have a meeting.

If that didn't work, they would take the problem to the dean and on to administration from there.

Johnson said she did not receive the help, but instead was given an "F" for the course.

However, Watson said he feels proper accommodations were given.

FACULTY continued from front page Proposed raise not enough

Law said President Nigh asked the Regents for a three percent salary increase.

"Every university is lobbying the legislature for salary increases, and in calling for only three percent, Nigh is calling for the smallest increase of any other university," said Law. Roberta Sloan, vice president of the Faculty Senate said OU, East Central and Northeastern State are asking for a four percent increase. Southeastern State University is asking for a four and a half percent increase, Northwestern Oklahoma State University is asking for five percent and OSU is asking for six percent.

Southwestern Oklahoma State University and UCO are the only universities asking for three percent.

"The faculty will get the short end of the stick," said Sloan.

"They're nice people and they're entitled to a raise, but I don't have any money," said Nigh.

Nigh said the complaint from the faculty about not getting a raise at all is incorrect.

Nigh said the faculty has a salary card that says if they get a new degree or a new job, they get more money.

"So without ever getting a raise, most of them make more money, because we have a longevity diploma," said Nigh.

I see this as a starting point. We don't want it to be another three or four years before we get another raise.

The faculty will get the short end of the stick.

"In terms of what he (Nigh) has asked the Regents for, his immediate concern seems to be recouping the moneys from the reserve budget that have been spent on one-time projects," said Law. Also, in a document prepared by the Faculty Senate, it states eight new accounts in the E&G Budget have been created in the last two years.

These are: Continuing Education, Globalization, the Nigh Institute, Special Events, Evening and Weekend Studies, Vice President for Development and Community Relations, Staff Development and the UCO Foundation.

The total cost of supporting these new accounts is $945,164. The first three are under the Office of Outreach and the remaining are under UCO administration.

Law said when the Nigh Institute was created from the reserve fund, Nigh said if it were not self sufficient within two years, he would get rid of it.

Less Administrators, more faculty may be the answer

Law said in the past'two years, 26 new administrative and professional positions have been added to the E&G Budget and only nine new faculty members have been hired. The total cost of these new administrators has risen from $343,885 in 1993-94 to $1,005,941 in 1994-95.

Guild said that higher education tends to have too many administrators. He said one way to fix the administrative problem is to reassign some of them back into the classroom. Several of the administrators are former UCO professors.

Guild said he sees the proposed three percent salary increase as a positive step in the right direction. However, Guild said he hopes it continues to happen each year instead of being a one time thing.

"I see this as a starting point. We don't want it to be another three or four

years before we get another raise," said Guild.

Guild said he sees a future problem in keeping and attracting quality faculty if UCO continues to let salaries fall below the national average.

Law said another concern of the Faculty Senate is neglected instructional needs at UCO. "If it does come down to a steady-state budget, and if we're not going to get the $1,897,819 Nigh has asked for, that somehow the instructional needs, which are the heart and soul of the university, are going to be met by administrative belt tightening," said Law. The neglected needs Law cited are lack of adequate classroom and office space, a heavy reliance on adjunct faculty and the continued request for full-time faculty to do more of the work of running the university.

Salaries O.K. for UCO?

The base salary for UCO professors rank third in the state, associate professors rank second and assistant professors and instructors rank first according to a survey prepared by Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of the UCO Institutional Research and Planning.

Sharon Martin, director of personnel budget said UCO has 109 full professors, 63 associate professors, 172 assistant professors and 54 instructors.

"If I argue with the professors that they're already the highest paid, it makes me look like a bad guy," said Nigh.

"They're not saying their salaries are low.

They're saying they haven't gotten a raise."

However, in the same survey, compared to nine other universities in surrounding states, UCO full professors, rank eighth, associate professors and instructors rank third and assistant professors rank second.

At OU, professors are only required to teach two classes and do research. At UCO, professors are required to teach four classes and still do research to meet the criteria for promotions.

"We're asked to do twice as much work for the same amount of money," said Law. Nigh said at other universities the administration has been able to get raises in the past for their professors by firing some educators.

Nigh's priorities for budget with 'recouping reserve'

On Sept. 9,1994, Gary Smith, executive vice Chancellor of the Regents circulated a letter among university presidents introducing a survey to help them address the needs of the 1996 fiscal budget.

The survey contained a "what if" proposition. Smith said if the Oklahoma legislature were to give higher education an increase in funding, what would UCO do with their share?

Sunday

The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron is a book that will help painters, musicians, writers and other artists learn to be creative again.

Cameron guides you through a unique twelve-week course to help remove the barriers to the artist's confidence and productivity.

Through the use of a variety of exercises, Cameron helps the artist unblock and dispell limiting beliefs, fear, self-sabatoge, jealousy, guilt, addictions and other inhibiting forces.

Cameron says her course is not a quick fix, but a creative recovery process that can be taught.

One of the necessary elements of this course is what Cameron calls the morning pages. It is three pages on longhand, stream-of-consciousness writing about anything at all.

Another tool Cameron uses in her book is the artist's date. This is a special time the participant sets aside for himself to nurture the artist-child within.

The chapters include 10 exercises and a weekly check-in session. The artist will also sign a contract with himself to ensure

commitment to the entire course.

Throughout the book, Cameron uses inspirational quotes from such famous people as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, C.G. Jung, Pablo Picasso, Duke Ellington and many more.

Cameron's career includes credits in film and television writing and publication in the Washington Post, New York Times, Rolling Stone and Vogue. She has also served as artist-in-residence at Northwestern University.

Cameron tours the U.S. giving creativity workshops and now resides in Taos, New Mexico.

This book is a valuable tool for anyone who is creatively blocked. The exercises are effective, and the inspiration can help people to develop a sense of confidence about their work.

The Artist's Way can be purchased at Walden Books for $13.95. You can also order it on audio tapes for $18.95.

Friday

`Taming Gremlin' a 'relief' to self-helpers In today's high-stressed world, there are many self-help books available for those seeking relief.

Rating:

Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself by Richard D. Carson introduces an exciting concept of self-awareness that teaches you to make choices and simply enjoy being the individual you.

Carson said the master puppeteer is the gremlin, who is the

narrator in your head. This mischievous culprit tells you who you are and defines your every experience.

The primary objective of the gremlin is to block the natural and vibrant self within us. This will lead to occasional highs and then to periods of intense anxiety and sadness.

Carson suggests three basic processes to' tame the beast: noticing, choosing and playing with options and being in process.

Noticing involves being aware of your body and what you experience with your sensory receptors, which enables you to become grounded in reality.

Carson emphasizes the word choice throughout this process.

He suggests several avenues to overcome these old habits he calls "you can't, you should, you must and you need" strategies.

Carson has worked as a counselor for over 20 years in Dallas.

Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself is very well organized and easy to read. The only weakness is that it is too short.

You should buy this book, if you need to get more in touch with yourself or just to learn how to handle your daily problems.

It can be purchased at Jean Barnes Book Store in Oklahoma City for $11.00.

Plays: Thursday

✓ "The Gingerbread Boy" will be performed at the Oklahoma Children's Theatre at the City Arts Center on the fairgrounds.

Thursday and Friday show times are at 10:30 a.m. and Saturday and Sunday performances are at 2 p.m.

• The Three Penny Opera will be performed by the UCO theatre department at 8 p.m. on Feb. 23-25 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26. All performances will be held in Mitchell Hall Theatre on the UCO campus.

Saturday

• "Where's My Father," a gospel play, will be performed at 8 p.m. at the Civic Center Music Hall Feb. 25. Admission is $16.

Call 840-8000, Ext. 3000 for more information.
