nother 8 percent of the campus activity budget was frozen because of a 5.8 percent decrease in enrollment this spring. "By spring break I will know whether it will be a cut, or if I can release the freeze," said Jean Benson, associate budget director. Last fall, the campus activity budget was cut by 10 percent across the board, a permanent reduction. Summer enrollment was down 9 percent and last fall it was down 6 percent, said Benson. This has contributed to Land the budget reductions. Some of the campus organizations are left operating in the negative, said Dr. Deanna Land, dean of student services. These organizations may have had activities during the fall. They will have to seek funds elsewhere, through fundraisers or student fees, she said. Although enrollment has continued to drop, it is actually Cunliff coming down from an unusual all time high in 1994, said Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of institutional research and planning. "Although it has continued to drop ever since, I would not anticipate it to continue down much longer, if any longer," he said.

T
he Oklahoma Department of 'Transportation admitted last week that the project to widen Interstate 35 south of downtown Oklahoma City will cost $41 million more than originally estimated and won't be finished until 2004. That's eight more years of traffic tie-ups and $41 million that could be spent on healthcare or education. But what can we do about it? It's the government and it does what it wants and we can't change it. Wrong. We've forgotten, it's our government. Those people who make the decisions about the roads and healthcare and education work for us. If we don't like the things they're doing then we need to speak up. We can speak up by calling our elected officals. State Representative Laura - Boyd said calls are so rare that three calls to a congressional office constitutes a crisis and they take action. The action may only be looking into the problem, but if no one calls they won't know anyone cares about the issue. So if you think four years and $41 million more is just a little ridiculous, call your congressman. The number for the State House is 521-2711. The State Senate number is 524-0126. On

LETTERS
Student raises concern over cartoon's stereotyping
I
am at somewhat of a loss for an eloquent way to begin this letter, so let me simply start by saying that I am taking issue with the political cartoon appearing in the Feb. 20 issue of The Vista I'm addressing this cartoon not because I didn't find it humorous, or because I think that the cartoon itself is that important, but because it is an overt sign of something that is important, specifically social stereotyping. In this cartoon, a person asks a questions concerning the current lack of a lottery to fund education. The response, in the cartoon is that the people of Oklahoma are too busy tending to "hog farming" to come up with such a solution. First, let me say that the primary business of Oklahoma is not now, nor was it ever, "hog farming." It is true that Oklahoma is, to a great extent, an agricultural state. However,
that does not translate, in any way, to mean that the entire population of Oklahoma is involved in farming. In fact, such a stereotype is wildly inaccurate. For instance, Hertz Corp. has most of their headquarters located in the Oklahoma City area. So does Gaylord Enterprises, a national corporation that owns, among other things, The Dallas Morning News. These aren't the only examples of advanced industry or education in Oklahoma, but listing them all would take too much space. Indeed, at this very University are thousands of people (much like the cartoonist) who are training to raise their educational levels, and enter professional non-farming fields. Discounting these aspects of Oklahoma society is socially negligent at best. Next, I would like to address the issue (very neatly
demonstrated in the cartoon) that farmers and ranchers as a whole are stereotyped as "dumb." Just because someone chooses to raise crops or livestock for a living, that doesn't mean that they aren't intelligent. In fact, it takes quite an education to be able to produce the sheer amount of food that these farmers produce. I find it curious that those of us that couldn't feed ourselves without the diligent labor of these men and women would be so disdainful of them. Perhaps if we tried to do all the things that a farmer does during the course of a year, we might begin to appreciate just how much effort and acumen these "dumb hicks" really possess. In fact, it's probably a good idea to do that before we as individuals begin to stereotype to apply to someone else, they can most assuredly find one to apply to us. —Andrew Buchanan UCO student
Additional self defense advice offered
P
atrice Patterson's article on the Defender Training Consultants work with the Sigma Kappa sorority seems lacking in informing readers of what selfdefense consists. I would like to offer a few additional comments. First, I would like to suggest a
correction in the article. "The number one weapon in America is a ball-point pen." This belief is at least a common misconception and at most a complete fallacy. In fact, the ball-point would be lucky if it were third. The number one weapon in America, or the world, is your brain. It is
the brain which leads us to become aware of our situations and respond to them. next would be our body, the vehicle by which the brain carries out its responses or reactions. Second, I would like to offer a criticism of several of the VSee LETTER, Page 3

continued from Page 2 LETTER misconceptions behind self defense
courses. By no means do I wish to deride the importance of such courses, the need for them grows daily; however, poor ideas designed as short cuts, come with that growth. A common teaching of self defense courses is the use of everyday materials as weapons (i.e. ball-point pens). What is not taught, however, is that whatever you use as a weapon, may be used against you as a weapon. From car keys and pens to mace and firearms, they may all be taken from you and used against you. Being able to defend

yourself using your body is difficult enough, without entering another variable such as a weapon into the equation. Many people seem to think that they can spend two hours learning to strike an attacker in the genitals and yell "No!" and that they are ready for anything. In reality, learning to defend oneself involves an investment of time and patience. Instead of reacting to a situation, learn to respond to it by remaining relaxed and controlled. To the people who say that they don't have two hours a week in their schedule to practice some form of self defense, I

ask, "Do you have five minutes in your day to be raped or assaulted?" Awareness is a key word often used in reference to defense. While this does refer to an awareness of one's surroundings, it also denotes an awareness of one's self (where the hands and feet are in relation to the body, whether the body is balanced equally on both feet, etc.). When people become aware of themselves, then they will become aware of others and aware of situations or potential situations. This skill comes with consistent practice. An attack is the malicious intent to do

harm to another. In the analysis of an attack, a key word is intent. It is the intent which leads the attacker, not the body. While striking the attacker may seem a logical reaction, it may be a little effect in a committed attack and may only serve to aggravate the attacker. In responding to the attack, or more precisely the intent of the attack, people can more effectively neutralize the attack and efficiently defend themselves. Again, this comes with practice. -Paul V. McQueen

A tribute to Heath er Michele LeRoi On Feb. 20 a horrible car accident took the life of Heather Michele LeRoi. Heather, a freshman here at UCO, was only 19. She basically had the rest of her life ahead of her. From the world's perspective, this accident took a beautiful, intelligent young woman from its ranks. From my perspective, this accident took the woman I loved and my best friend. We had only been together for eight short months, but those eight months were some of the happiest days I have ever experienced. I began calling her "my angel" because to me that's what she was. She brought something to my life that I never thought one person could bring. She loved me devotedly and We can provide information and coverage for your

unconditionally—she accepted me for who I am and always forgave me for my mistakes. We had a healthy relationship that knew no bounds and in an instant, that was gone, she was gone. I guess my whole point in writing this was to let every student here at UCO know what a wonderful person Heather was. She was adored by her friends and family. She was my life and even though she is no longer with me, my love for her will never die. I love you Angel, your friends and family all love you. You will be dearly missed... Forever in my heart. R.

Fraternities, sororities `rush' to recruit new members By Heidi Centrella
Staff Writer "One of the best decisions I made in my life was going Greek," said Dustin Gregory, Interfraternity Council president. It begins with a three-week rush period Wednesday nights are reserved for parties. "Anyone can visit the fraternities and attend the parties—get a feel for what the house is all about," said Gregory. "Each house has it's own personality," he said. When a student decides on a fraternity they would like to join, they sign a pledge card to show their interest. Pledging lasts eight weeks. Requirements include being enrolled in at least nine hours at UCO. A student's GPA may not drop below a 2-2.5--depending on the individual fraternity's regulation. The sororities do things a little differently. There are no Wednesday night parties. Instead there are formal and informal rush periods. The informal rush begins the first week of classes in the fall semester. "Informal is when any girls expressing an interest can visit the houses," said Christi Morales, Alpha Gamma Delta president. "We have cook-outs, ice cream parties and let the girls see who we are on an informal basis." The formal rush lasts three nights. The first night is "Open House." The second night is "Theme Night." The third night, "Pref Night," is a more serious night, Morales said. Anyone interested in joining a fraternity or sorority can get more information by calling Interfraternity Council President Dustin Gregory at 359-6085, or Panhellenic President, Melissa Summersat 330-4593.

Award-winning children's book author offers advice By Rhonda Bowden
Staff Writer
B
ill Wallace, awardwinning author of children's books and self-proclaimed "world's leading authority on rejection slips," spoke to advanced creative writing students last week offering advice and recounting the experiences that led him to writing. "I began writing by trying to keep my 4th graders shut up after lunch recess," said Wallace. "I more or less fell into it by accident." A first-year teacher in Chickasha, Wallace said he started writing stories because he couldn't find a book the kids were interested in hearing, and he'd run out of stories to tell them from his own childhood. His students loved to hear him read stories he'd written, and could hardly wait to find out what happened next. "When the kids were willing to miss recess and were missing the bus to go home, I knew I probably had something," said
Wallace. Encouraged by his students responses, Wallace said a few years later he began sending the books out to try to get them published. The response wasn't what he'd hoped for. Opening his briefcase, Wallace pulled out laminated rejection slips in three sizes. The small, pre-printed ones are never even touched by human hands, he explained. The publishing company receives the manuscript, a mechanized arm pulls it out of the envelope, throws it away, and inserts the rejection slip. He said if the slip has your name on it, a date, and a signature, then you can be reasonably certain a real person saw it and maybe even read it. Four manuscripts, thousands of rejection slips, and 10 years later, Wallace finally found a publisher for his books. "Editors and publishers in New York City aren't as bright as 4th graders in Oklahoma," he said. Wallace credits his success to
persistence, bullheadedness and luck. "My fourth-graders kept me from giving up, even the times I'd lost faith in myself, it seemed somebody was watching and sent those kids," said the writer. Many of his story ideas come from his everyday life in Chickasha, but he said some of his storylines started as "what Wallace calls two-cat stories." "Take two cats, tie their tails together, lay the rope over a chain-link fence—you have no idea what's going to happen, but you know it's something." Wallace's books have won 17 awards from states around the country. Beauty, his young-adult novel about a boy and his relationship with an aging horse, won the Sequoyah Award in 1991. He told the class of student writers that of all the writers he's met, only two were published the first time. "Everyone wants the secret key to unlock the magic door—If I had it, I'd give it to you, but I don't," said Wallace. "All I can Writer Bill Wallace speaks to creative writing students during a recent visit to UCO. (Staff photo by John Clanton) say is, don't give up."

Shapp, a freshman from Quapaw, gave up two runs to the Griffons in the two innings he worked. He struck out two men, while giving up three bases due to balls. The Bronchos brought Wes McSwane to the mound in the eighth inning. McSwane held the Griffons to their eight runs for the rest of the game. He gave up no walks and struck out one.

In a must-win game the UCO Bronchos defeated Texas A&MKingsville 96-77 on Saturday night at Hamilton Field House giving Central its fifth Lone Star Conference title in the 90's. "It's nice to win the league like it is now. This is the toughest the league has been in the twelve years I've been around," said UCO head coach Jim Seward. With the victory Central finishes the regular season at 22-4 overall and 13-3 in the LSC. TAMUK finishes regular season play at 13-13 overall and 5-11 in the LSC. In the first half Central came out quick jumping out to a 12-4 lead. TAMUK answered and came back to tie the game at 1818 with 7:31 left in the first half. Central then finished the half outscoring TAMUK 27-17 and went into the dressing room with a 45-35 advantage at the half. In the second half of the
second half Central exploded with a 11-0 run over a three minute span giving the Bronchos a 22-point lead with 7:00 left in the game and the Bronchos were well on the way to the 19-point victory. Mack Tuck was the games-high scorer with 24 points. Tuck was a sizzling 10 of 16 from the floor. Tyrone Hopkins was a monster on the boards with 20 rebounds. Hopkins also poured in 19 points giving him a double-double. "We expected Tyrone to go out and play hard for us. Personally he was trying to be the league's leading rebounder. He knew he needed to have a big game and he did," said Seward of Hopkins who tied the league lead in rebounding. Joe Newton continued his great play with 18 points for the Bronchos. Newton finished third in the LSC in scoring. The Bronchos will play either Eastern New Mexico or Tarleton State in the LSC tournament semi-finals on Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Hamilton Field House.

Howell Hall addition marks 50-year history of building
M
ore than a simple building, it is a reminder of the requirement for a quality education. Before the first construction of Howell Hall in 1947, the location of science classes was a juggling act. The first classes were in the First Methodist Church on 19 N. Broadway, containing 25 students and one teacher/principal, Richard Thatcher. All the classes were in this church until the construction of Old North. When the first building, was completed in January 1893, it contained three laboratories for chemistry and biology. On Oct. 5, 1904, The Vista reported a dedication of the "New Building," later named the Administration Building. Laboratories, a darkroom and a greenhouse were in the new building along with chemistry, physics and agriculture classes. The biology department remained in the Old North Building. The Administration Building was demolished around the early 70s, said David Hart, adjunct professor of chemistry and author of A Centennial History of Science and Mathematics at Central State University. For the next 37 years the science department remained in the Administration Building.
Ernest L. Howell and Clifford R. Otto joined the science department in 1919. Howell, after whom the building is named, taught all the physics courses along with being the campus photographer.He continued to teach until his death, March 11, 1941. Otto, head of the chemistry and biology department, administrative dean and acting president, was the leader in the planning for Howell Hall. Otto died of a heart attack on March 31, 1952. On April 8, 1952, the editorial page of The Vista contained a tribute to Otto by foreign exchange student, Tib Edmond. Edmond, who was from
Hungary, came to the United States with the help of Otto who suggested he take the town he lived in as his last name. Together the two increased the enrollment in the sciences by 900 percent between 1921 and 1931, reported A Centennial History of Science and Mathematics at Central State University. With increasing enrollment, the Administration Building could barely meet the needs of the students. Despite these short comings, the photography studio moved to the linotype room to make space for biology classes and Saturday classes were offered in the fall of 1933. Construction began on the west wing of Howell Hall in 1947. The west wing construction, which is the wing facing Wantland Hall, flowed into the east wing construction of 1948. Total cost of the two wings was $275,000. The 1947 three-story building
with an original U-shape design was rectangular with a side door facing Wantland Hall and the front doors facing south. Pepsi machines on the second floor mark the ending of the east wing completed in 1949. With growing enrollment, the new building became too small almost immediately. In 1962, Howell Hall underwent its third construction with an extension to the East adding 22,742 square feet of space,costing about $468,485. Eleven labs, six lecture rooms, eight biology offices, a reception area, a Foucault pendulum and a small area for two classes on the fourth floor
A
want and need and shell in some of the rooms than to build a building that would be inadequate, he explained. Then the labs will be finished one at a time as we raise the money, Nigh said. "We're hoping a generous donor will provide funding to complete the building," said Powers. Approximately $500,000 is needed for completion. The LAB is connected to Howell Hall by an atrium. The open area will be very useful as a meeting space and a place for students to study, said Dr. Kay Powers, dean of mathematics and science. These are the first new laboratories UCO has added since the 1940's, said Dr. Thieron Harrison, mathematics and science assistant dean. Classes will start using the rooms this summer, said Dr. Peggy Guthrie, chairperson and professor of biology. —

LAB adds 56,000 feet to sciences s construction comes to a close on the $6.3 million three story Laboratory Annex Building (LAB) one floor still remains incomplete. The 56,000 square-foot building has 12 fully furnished laboratoies, including biology labs on the second floor and chemistry labs on the third. The new laboratories will be classrooms for a variety of courses and experiments. An additional seven physics laboratories are planned for the first floor when funding to complete the rooms becomes available. These areas are "shelled out" with walls and floors like an empty warehouse. When the estimates for the building were originally done, they came in over what we had set aside, said President George Nigh. "We had a series of meeting to redesign the building...Dean Powers recommended to build a bigger building and shell in what we couldn't afford to finish," Nigh said. It's easier to build the size of building you
completed the construction. This does not include the southeast corner, current biology department offices and rooms 100-107. This area,completed in November 1981, added an additional 2,400 square feet to the building. In January 1996, Howell Hall began its fifth construction with the addition of the Laboratory Annex Building (LAB). This Thursday, dedication day, Howell Hall will add another page to its history.
