Third-ranked wrestler faces charges

By Phil Long Sports Writer Third-ranked Universiy of Central Oklahoma wrestler James Keith Kizarr, a 23year-old education major from Marlow, will remain on the team and compete despite being arrested in the past three weeks for misdemeanor charges of assault and battery and petty larceny.

"Kizarr will wrestle in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional this weekend," said UCO Head Coach David James.

School policy states if a athlete is charged with a misdemeanor his status with the team is tried on a case-by-case basis on each misdemeanor. If a athlete is charged with a felony the athlete is automatically suspended, according to UCO Athletic Director John Wagnon.

When asked about Kizarr's likelihood of remaing on the team, Wagnon responded "Kizarr will wrestle this weekend. We make those kinds of decisions internally."

Kizarr's first arrest was Jan. 23 when he was picked up by the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department for an outstanding warrant for a assault and battery charge, according to Oklahoma County Sheriff's Department officials.

Kizarr spent an hour and a half in jail before he was released on a $500 bond.

Charges have been filed in the case by the Oklahoma County District Attorney's office, according to sheriff's officials.

The next day Kizarr wrestled in the NCAA II Showdown Duels held in Edmond.

On Feb. 16, Kizarr was arrested again for stealing a shopping cart loaded with VSee WRESTLER, Page 7

uditors with the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges made a total of 38 recommendations in their report on UCO's Office of Outreach released Tuesday.

The the audit was conducted in November, December and January and took approximately 1,000 hours, said Dwayne Tate, director of internal auditing for the Regents.

"It was a regular, routine audit," he said.

The auditors looked at general matters, personnel issues, contracts and disbursements and expenditures, revenues and cash receipts, and fixed assests for the time period Sept. 1, 1994 to Dec. 31, 1996 The audit findings fall into two categories: observations and noncompliance issues. An example of the observations included UCO's public service radio station.

"KCSC radio station serves the largest audience of the top four public University radio stations in the state; however, it is funded the lowest of the four stations in Educational and General support," the audit stated.

The auditors recommended UCO re-evaluate its position on funding for KCSC to determine whether the funding level is adequate to sustain the operations.

But the university has no obligation to take any action to change the amount of money budgeted to KCSC. Non-compliance issues are those which violate state statutes, university policy or Regents' policy, Tate said.

Among the non-compliance

findings were expenditures that appeared questionable or unallowable, lack of criteria for fee waivers and tuition for continuing education classes and correspondence studies being deposited in special accounts rather than the Education and General Revolving Fund.

The auditors' recommendations for non-compliance findings are more than just suggestions.

"We feel the university is required to get into compliance," Tate said.

Those statutes or policies are in place for a reason and need to be followed.

"We don't feel like the university has a choice there," he said.

The auditors will return in 120 days to conduct a post audit review, Tate said. At that time they will review UCO's actions in response to the recommendations.

"The Board requires compliance with those policies,"_ he said.

If a university doesn't comply with its policies, Regents' policy or State statutes, the Board would issue a directive to the president to comply with policy, Tate said.

But he added that universities almost always comply voluntarily.

"If we've brought it to their attention, all six, including UCO, have put the policies or procedures in place to comply," he said.

"We're confident the university will implement the changes."

Tate said he was impressed with the reaction of UCO administrators.

"The university was positive toward our comments," he said.

"On the non-compliance issues they agreed they money should be reimbursed or policies should be put in place."

cientists announced earlier this week that they've perfected the art of cloning. They were able to make a genetic copy of a 6-year-old ewe. Dolly, the clone, was born in July.

Researchers insist they don't plan to clone humans.

"We think it would be ethically unacceptable and certainly would not want to be involved in that project," one scientist said.

Good for them. But they've let the genie out of the bottle.

Cloning certainly has some valuable benefits, the possibility of cloning new organs could mean a new lease on life for thousands on transplant lists.

But why clone an entire animal?

Researchers say dairy farmers could clone the cows that produce the most milk and thus increase milk production (not to mention their profits). But they say there's no reason to want to clone a human.

Maybe there's no reason researchers would want to clone a human, but others might have their own agenda.

The same people our government worries about acquiring nuclear capabilities could use cloning technology to produce an army of soldiers with increased endurance.

It sounds like a James Bond movie plot, but who would've thought 20 years ago that we'd talk to people all over the world with our computers or get calls on cell phones?

Maybe the researchers should'lone some ethics for all On of us.

Residence Hall executives tell their side of the story A

s members of the Residence Hall Association Executive Council, we would like to tell our side of the Hall Activity Fee controversy.

In a letter written to The Vista

by Ed Priddy, he stated that the hall councils use their money appropriately, but RHA money "vanishes when it slips into the hands of RHA." RHA is composed of all residents, including Priddy.

Money is controlled by majority votes of members of all three halls and the executive council.

The fee was suggested to be mandatory to provide more funding to the hall councils.

Currently it is optional with only a percentage of residents funding

activities that benefit all residents.

Mr. Priddy further states that many residents have various other engagements during the hour that RHA is held. All meetings are posted at the beginning of each semester and posted prior to each meeting.

The meetings are regualrly held every other Thursday.

He further states that any new member would not have had a vote on this item of business.

This is absolutely false. Every person in attendance was able to vote on this measure seeing that the vote was a voice vote.

RHA is one of the only organizations where residents can have a direct impact on how their money is being spent.

When you pay other fees, you are giving those to the administrative units and you lose total control over how those are being spent.

Remember, this resolution passed with no opposing votes.

So, if any resident has a problem with it, they should talk to their representative in RHA or even better, come and personally express their views to the general membership of RHA. The next general meeting is Thursday, February 27 at 5:30 in the Dogwood Room of Central Cafetaria. —Sheila Barnes, Kristie Stebbins, Derrek Belase, Keith Weber, Sara Paschel RHA Executive Council

Commission addresses technology advantages

By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

T

he state of technology in Oklahoma colleges and universities was the focus at the Feb. 19 meeting of the "Citizen's Commission on the Future. of Oklahoma Higher Education.

Dr. James R. Mingle, executive director of state higher education executive officers of Colorado was the guest speaker.

He told the committee although they could not solve problems Oklahoma may have in technology teaching, "as the citizens group you can help define any problems you see."

Mingle cleared up some technology misconceptions.

Some believe technology is only for distance learning, he said.

The idea behind distance learning is classes being taught at universities in Oklahoma reaching rural areas.

"That's not true...people can access information from home but that doesn't make it distance learning," Mingle said.

He said in some cases universities have been in the forefront in technology education.

"The Department of Defense as well as research universities began the networking systems we see - now," he said.

On the subject of cost, Mingle said although it is expensive, there is a competitive advantage to using technology on campuses.

"If you don't have state of the art technology on a campus you can't compete in the business world," he said.

He said one problem is that some universities have advanced technology while others do not.

"In this country we are not moving together on this," said Mingle.

He said the environment he sees in higher education is more of a demand from faculty to incorporate the technology.

Committee member, Gary Trennephohl, dean of the college of business administration at Oklahoma State University said, faculty at OSU have expressed an interest in learning more about the new technology.

"I was both surprised and pleased at their interest in the technology," Trennephohl said.

Mingle said students and parents are the consumers and that is why the technological changes are happening on campus.

He also said, it was consumers, not higher education that insisted on the more advanced technology.

"Universities were already changing with technology in the form of admissions, research and student services," he said.

He explained the advantages of using technology as a teaching tool.

Technology is a tool for learning productivity, he said.

OSU in Oklahoma City uses computer technology to teach some of their basic courses, like algebra. The class is designed to be individual study with students using computers to learn.

Using the computer a student can be actively engaged in their own learning, learning the basics and then moving on to the advanced level, he said. They can also spend more time going over certain

problems if needed.

Some committee members were concerned this kind of teaching left the student without a professor if they were having problems.

He said in traditional classrooms professors have to second guess if a student is having problems.

"Faculty are able to see what the student is doing on the computer and if a student is having problems, professors are actually able to step in faster to help," Mingle said.

The Citizen's Commission will take the information Mingle shared and talk about what direction they think Oklahoma colleges and universities should take in advancing the use of technology in schools.

At the end of this year the commission will present their recommendations for higher education to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

Their meetings are open to the public.

Their next meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. March 20 at Oklahoma State University— technical branch in Oklahoma City.

hen one thinks of Johnny Depp he might think of Crybaby, 21 Jumpstreet, Benny and Joon, Edward Scissorhands or some such other study in mediocrity.

By contrast when one thinks of Al Pacino, he might envision Michael Corleone, Carlito Brigante, Sonny, Frank Serpico or some such other legendary role made exquisite by Pacino's animated style.

Donnie Brasco, a new movie by Mike Newell, establishes Depp as a heavy hitter and is another in a line of mobster movies for veteran Pacino.

Depp portrays Joey Pistone A.K.A. Donnie Brasco, the FBI member who infiltrates the mafia via a washed out, passed over, veteran gangster named "Lefty" played by Pacino.

The movie's magic is based in its harsh realism. Unlike the upper class heisters in Goodfellas or the untouchable bosses in The Godfather, Donnie Brasco's teeth are in the grim, underhanded, cheap, unglamorous lives of the characters.

They don't hijack shrimp and lobsters or Air France, they break open parking meters and steal fourth-class merchandise.

Still, the double-crosses, heists and hits

SONTSINIFOR

Johnny Depp and Al Pacino star in Donnie Brasco. (1996 Mandalay Entertainment) of mobster life are just as gripping and the emotions of the more feeling characters are almost heart-wrenching despite the brutal surroundings.

Depp has finally come into his own, much as Pacino did with Serpico.

Donnie Brasco is one for the ages, and when they open the books, I'll recomend it for membership.

ith 12 academy award nominations, including Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Screenplay, and Director, I'll admit my expectations were pretty high for the screen adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's book The English Patient.

For the most part, it did not disappoint.

Set before and during the second world war, the story action is artfully interwoven between the sands of a barren African desert, battle zones behind Allied lines and an abandoned Italian monastery.

In the opening scene, the central character in the story, portrayed by Ralph Fiennes, sustains severe burns on his face and body after his plane is shot down over the desert.

A beautiful, grieving nurse, portrayed by Juliette Binoche, cares for him after he is rescued and brought to Allied troops.

Amnesia-stricken and dying, much of the patient's story is revealed through flashbacks as he remembers and faces the past.

Okay, it does sound melodramatic, but this film is anything but.

This is a film of subtleties, of layers.

If you want a movie to hit you in the

face with something: a message, special effects, sensational violence, gratuitous sex, then this isn't the one for you. The intensity flows in abundance, but it's beneath the surface, not always apparent to the impatient viewer.

That's not to say there isn't any sex or violence shown. There is, and both get fairly graphic. Dramatic, clothesripping love scenes are shown tastefully, and have a purpose in the story; to portray the urgency and passion felt by the characters.

My one complaint with the movie is despite all the exceptional writing, acting, and directing, the film somehow failed for me in a fundamental way. I wasn't touched on a deep emotional level by it. I'm still not sure why. All the ingredients were there, it just didn't happen.

Even with that, I would still recommend seeing The English Patient if nothing more than for the sheer artistry.

Scholars gather for history conference

By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

U

CO will be hosting one of the largest conferences ever held on campus today through March 2.

More than 150 professors and graduate students from various universities will be presenting research papers over various aspects of the 18th century. during the 22nd annual meeting of the "South Central Society for 18th Century Studies."

The conference is a chance for experts to exchange ideas, said Dr. Susan Spencer, current president of South Central Society for 18th Century Studies.

Spencer, assistant professor of English, said many of the sessions could be of interest to UCO students.

There are 39 sessions during the four-day conference including two visiting scholars.

Frani-Maria Tsigakou, curator of the Benaki Museum in Athens, Greece, will be speaking at 7 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel ballroom and again from 9:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m:March 1 at the Pegasus Theatre.

Tsigakou, author of three books has been a curator in Athens since 1978.

Another scholar, David J. Weber, author of several books, including the award-winning The Mexican Frontier, 1821-1846 will be a speaker during the Saturday events.

He will be speaking at 10:45 a.m. in Room 115 of the Liberal Arts Building, again at 2:45 p.m. in the University Center and from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

March 1 in the Cherokee Room in the University Center.

Each of Tsigakou and Weber's lectures will be on a different theme dealing with 18th century studies.

Many UCO graduate students and professors are also actively involved in the conference.

Dr. James Mock, assistant professor of humanities and philosophy, said the conference gives students at UCO who might be interested in working in the academic world the chance to see what professionals are doing.

Attending this conference is "like a field trip," to those who have an interest in the academic life, he said.

Areas of general interest will be presented including an afternoon concert at 1:15 p.m. Feb. 28 by the music department in the University Center and a portion of the opera The Abduction from the Seraglio performed at 8 p.m. March 1 in the Pegasus Theatre.

The sessions begin at 2 p.m. today and end at 6 p.m. March 1.

All UCO students are invited to attend any of the sessions. A registration table with information on the different sessions will be set up on the third floor of the University Center during the conference.

All is not lost...

By Mary Reinauer

Staff Writer

A

hand-made sign went up on the telephone pole at the end of my street this weekend. A real tearjerker, it was scrawled in fat black pencil strokes on lined notebook paper, and duct taped about three feet off the ground, indicating the author's age.

"Lost Dog on this Street.

White with mostly black on his Eye and his ears stick up. Size: medium. Call 555-4465 and ask for reward."

This kid has a future in advertising for sure.

I'm pretty much an expert in losing stuff myself. In my career as a loser, I've sacrificed cats, kids, keys and currency (not to mention my mind) to the god of absentminded. Losing things is a trait only humans indulge in. Did you ever see a dog lose a bone or

her best slobbered- -beyondrecognition tennis ball? Or a cat looking for her brood? "Now where could I have put those kitten's?" No, of course not.

Something you find when your looking for it isn't technically lost—it's misplaced, and sometimes we "lose" things we want to lose.

I lose my list of "things to do" regularly with the effect of having an occasional Saturday afternoon free to take a walk or fly kites with my kids. No loss there, as they say.

But a lost pet is another matter. Our copy editor, Lisa, lost her dog last week and was inconsolable. She called the pound daily to ask if Scamp the Lhsao Apso had surfaced and wept when she saw a mop. Alas, no match was made.

Coincidentally, Managing Editor, Gayleen Langthorn found a dog—three half basset, half

Rottwielers to be exact, on her porch, so she put an ad in the paper.

Such ads are a real study of the human condition.

Descriptions run from the generic "Brown dog 678-4547" to the verbose "Pit Bull, M 3 yr. old, 35' to shoulder, 80 lbs., black spike collar, very thick tail.

Guard training. Sm wht spot on Lt. hip 555-9105. Answers to Gandhi."

Somehow I doubt many folks are going to get close enough to tell.

How about this one under "found."

"Gray cockatiel found on Shartel north of Walker. Talks.

Call 555-4655 to inquire."

And talks well, too.

Did you ever notice how many lost dogs "need medication?" Are the owners trying to discourage unscrupulous people from

keeping them?

"You're right Cruella, it's not worth the trouble. Let 'em go, all 101 of them sickos."

I'd like to tell you things worked out for Lisa and Scamp, but they did not.

Lisa was reading the paper when she saw her pooch's bug eyes, peering through what looked like Santa Claus' beard featured in Adopt a Pet. Tears of joy sprang to her eyes. "Scamp! He's found," she said running to the phone.

"Pet of the Week today is Scruffy, a female mixed breed," read the caption.

Although she realized the dog was long overdue at the Poodle Parlor, Lisa called the pound, seething. "What do you mean mixed breed? You fools don't know a Lhaso from a lasso or a purebred if it bit you on the you know what! And furthermore, it's Scamp!"

"Yes maam, I reckon it is, but somebody adopted it anyway," said the dogcatcher, adding injury to insult.

It's hard to take proper care of a pet, what with all the rules that seem to go against their natures, but if you long for a best friend of your own, call 341-2980, Ext. 5915. Ask for Gayleen.
