Student notices discrimination in ACE

By Voncile Davis Student Writer When applying for admissions to the University of Central Oklahoma a veteran discovered a startling revelation—possible sex discrimination in the American Council on Education's (ACE) guide recommendations.

Matthew Stevens, a former Marine, said when he applied for admissions in January for the fall semester, he inquired about the military credit he would receive for "basic training"—credits awarded to all veterans who have completed the training. He said he was given a card detailing the credits

UCO grants for the training based on the ACE guide recommendations .

Stevens said he noticed a difference in the credits awarded male Marines as opposed to those awarded female Marines.

Specifically, males are granted credit for Rifle Marksmanship, MLLSC 1022, and females are not.

The ACE guide is a manual prepared every two or three years by the American Council on Education in Washington, D.C. and is provided to institutions of higher learning for evaluating experiences in the armed services.

"The institutions compare the recommendations in the guide with courses offered at the school and match equivalent

courses," said Cheryl Duke, the academic records assistant at UCO. The applicable transfer credits are posted to the veteran's UCO transcript after successful completion of 12 resident credit hours at UCO, duplicate credit excluded. They are used primarily as electives and can apply toward graduation, if applicable.

Stevens said that during military training, females train along side males, using the same artillery and equipment.

This was confirmed by Sharon Knight, who currently serves in the Oklahoma Air National Guard and has had first-hand experience in the training. Both Stevens and Knight work in the Veterans Services Office at OSU-OKC, have some familiarity

with the ACE guide and expressed concern about the differences.

Stevens also noticed some differences concerning credits that are granted for the Beginning Swimming, PHYED 1701, and the First Aid and Accident Prevention, HLTH 2212 courses: He said that Marines and Navy servicemen are required to be qualified for "basic" swimming, since they sometimes perform this function in their military capacity.

However, UCO grants credit to Coast Guardsmen, but not to Marines and Navy servicemen and women.

He said that the Marine Corps and See ACE, Page 4

Message to lawmakers: stop writing new bills There ought to be a law...

A law against the number of bills lawmakers' can file and have placed on their respective agend.

The number of bills submitted continually rise from year to year as lawmakers attempt to pass one with their name on it. This attempt is often in vain, thanks to the powers that be, as statistics show only one out of every five bills go on to become law.

That's all we need in Oklahoma—more laws.

As of Feb. 7, the state's 101 House of Representatives members and 48 Senators had filed 1,625 bills. That's 978 from the House and 647 bills out of the Senate.

In a time where the people are pushing for less government and politicians are running on a less-is-more platform, these bills continue to be written, only adding to those that could not be agreed on last session.

What bills have our Senators filed hoping for the Governor's signature this session? They include SB 1010 which would outlaw the practice of hair cutting in a salon that is not licensed, and SB 1152 would assure that boats are floated only by a person with an operator's permit.

Some of the House bills are just as concerning. HB 1981 would prohibit hunting with dogs in conjunction with certain firearms, and wearing a helmet while you water ski could be a requirement if HB 1869 becomes law.

These hills will soon die. Why waste our money and time?

A good understanding of what your legislator is proposing to be debated on the House and Senate floors is a start to curbing this mess of wasted time and paperwork. How often do constituents contact their lawmakers and complain about the needless paperwork and wasted time debating a bill that is doomed from its conception? Evidently, not often enough. Legislators do listen to their voters.

ORRECTIONS In the Feb. 22 issue of The Vista, the story on New Plains Review stated the journal was published by the English department when in fact it is published by the Liberal Arts College.

In the Feb. 17 issue, the headline about the MPA program stated that the regents denied the program. In fact, an outside team only recommended that the program be denied.

the reference to Poles (if you meant persons of Polish descent), but otherwise no clue. Two of the 25 believed it to be a phallic reference.

The point? If you were trying to make a statement, it was probably lost on a lot of people.

2) Are you aware that you misspelled Metalica on one of the T-

shirts? It should be Metallica.

3) Do you have copyright permission to use the figures of Beavis and Butthead or their likenesses in the campus newspaper?

No offense intended, we're just curious. Thanks.

Editor's Note: We did check into the legality of using Beavis and Butthead in the cartoon. We apologize for misspelling Metallica. And yes, Butthead's "Pole" comment is a phallic inference. He uses inferences such as this a lot in the cartoons.

P.S. Our cartoonist has a unique sense of humor.

teaches good problem-solving skills which remain useful long after medical school. A doctor who has these skills has an easier time finding solutions to unfamiliar situations, said Dormer.

Change in education will be slow. Many educators will resist it and continue using the old methods of education by example, said Dormer.

"There are very few educators who believe PBL is abetter method for learning," said Dormer.

In 1995, the physiology department at OU plans to test the PBL education method on an undetermined number of medical students, said Dormer.

"PBL programs are already in place at a few medical schools," said Dormer. "I believe that most medical schools are going to move toward Problem Based Learning," he said.

Kenneth J. Dormer, Ph.D., coordinator for exercise studies at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, spoke to members of the University of Central Oklahoma Pre-Medical/Health Professions Club about the "Changing Face of Medical EduI • cation" at their meeting on Feb. 17.

Most medical schools currently base much of their curriculum on the grades and test performance levels of their students. It is easier for professors to lecture, give exams and post grades than it is for them to guide students through the steps necessary for solving problems, said Dormer.

Administrators of medical schools often look at GPAs and MCAT scores when they are assessing whether or not a student will make a good physician, said Dormer.

"Good grades do not make good physicians," said Dormer. "Good problem solvers make good physicians."

The "information explosion" is adding to the amount of known facts at an ever-increasing rate.

I ti Tomorrow's doctors could never expect to learn everything there is to know about their fields of study.

Because of this, "networking" with others will become a necessity for physicians in the future, said Dormer.

"Physicians of tomorrow will • probably network together in problem-solving environments rather than working as individual autonomies of learned knowledge," said Dormer.

Computers are playing an increasing role in both the educational and clinical aspects of medieine, said Dormer.

"Tomorrow's physicians will probably have to be computer literate," said Dormer.

Computers are used as personal tutors at some medical schools.

Software such as "Diagnostic Rea., soning" makes evaluation of stu-

dents' problem-solving skills more accurate and objective. In the clinical sense, doctors will have access to a vast accumulation of knowledge and be able to network with others to ensure a proper diagnosis is given to a patient, said Dormer.

Studies have shown that students remember 10 percent of what they read, 20 percent of what they hear during a lecture and 50 per-

Army also require soldiers to be qualified for first aid, but they are not granted the credit at UCO. think it's discriminatory," he said.

The UCO catalog lists the Beginning Swimming course is for "non-swimmers" and requires students to learn adjustment to water, floating, treading, standing dive, elementary lifesaving skills and five basic swimming strokes. The ACE guide lists no swimming recommendations at all for Marines and Navy, nor does it recommend first aid for the Marines or Army.

Matthew Williamson, a senior at UCO and also a former Marine, said that the extent of training in the different branches of the military varies. For example, those in the Coast Guard probably receive longer hours of more extensive training than Marine or Navy servicemen do.

UCO' s records specialist, Jill Langston, said that all military credit evaluations are based strictly upon the ACE guide's recommendation, not by mandate but for consistency. She said that swimming is not listed as a "basic training" recommendation in the guide for Marines or the Navy; however, it is recommended for the Coast Guard.

Paul Patrick, the acting registrar in theAdmissions Office said

he served in the Navy between 1966 and 1970, and as he recalls, "swinuning was part of basic training; however. the training was not more than a week in duration."

We put together a team of subject specialists ,who are faculty members teaching in those areas, that make the decisions about recommendations.

"We were taught survival skills only," he said. "We jumped from the side of a ship. I learned more about swimming at the pools in the community where I grew up than I learned in the Navy."

In comparison, at UCO, students jump from a diving board, not the side of a ship. The training UCO students receive in the Beginning Swimming course re-

quires more swimming skills than the Navy or Marine Corps.

The current ACE guide states that "all courses after April, 1987 applies to both male and female."

It was through an oversight that the card UCO uses has not been updated.

Personnel at Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma were contacted to compare institutional policy concerning military credits, and evaluation officers at both institutions, (Karen Mott at OSU and Madelline Williams at OU), said they apply ACE recommendations faithfully to military credit.

Terry LaRocco, assistant director for military evaluations at the ACE office in Washington, D.C., said, "We put together a team of subject specialists, who are faculty members teaching in those areas that make the decisions about recommendations."

She said the team is expert in the fields they teach.

"They visit institutions all over the United States and overseas to determine what is required in the subjects before they make recom-

mendations."

Of those persons interviewed none were certain about the basis for the recommendations, which leads back to Williamson's speculative statement about the various degrees of training within the different military branches. In determining the answer one must consider what constitutes "basic training."

Maj. Bill Gray, Education Sevices officer at the Oklahoma Army National Guard, said, "...basic training for the army does include first aid, but only the lifesaving techniques."

He said the soldiers deal only with common tasks and are not CPR certified.

Master Sgt. Henry Coverson of the Recruit Training Regiment in San Diego said the Marines' physical training includes 16 hours of swimming instruction and that swimmers are classified into one of four categories, depending on their abilities.

Rick Demit, the equity officer Who handles sex discrimination grievances at UCO, said he has received no complaint from anyone concerning military credits.

Multicultural services hold career fair

By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer A Multicultural Career Fair was held Wednesday in the Grand Ballroom of the University Center.

The fair was sponsored by the University of Central Oklahoma Multicultural Student Services and the Career Development and Placement Services.

"The purpose of the career fair is to provide a forum where educational opportunities and career opportunities are exchanged and

discussed with UCO students, companies and colleges," said Barry Lofton, coordinator, Multicultural Student Services.

"Our goal was to have different ethnic backgrounds to attend the fair. It didn't matter to us if they were white black, red or yellow, we just wanted the entire UCO student population represented and also to participate," said Lofton.

The career fair featured48 companies and colleges from Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Dallas.

Approximately 350 students attended the fair.

"This is our first time here. It was excellent, well organized and obviously a lot of planning went into this. It is excellent exposure for a company seeking to recruit college students," said Eric Baker, United Postal Service.

"I think it went well," said Carla Mayes, Miss Black UCO. "I came to have lunch with the representatives of the different companies and after that, I talked with a lot of them. They were very informative and seemed to really be looking for students who are seriously searching for jobs."

Woman injures cheating boyfriend ANCIIORAGE, Alaska (AP) — An Anchorage woman was charged with felony, assault Thursday for allegedly biting through the skin of her boyfriend's penis after learning he was cheating on her.

Sarah Louise Achayok, 36, was accused of wounding a man referred to in court documents only as R.D.W. She was held on S10,000 bail.

Prosecutors said in court papers that Achayok intended to cause injury "by means of a dangerous instrument." if convicted, she could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

In addition to the biting, police said she also beat and scratched the man's face.

The attack occurred shortly after midnight Thursday at an apartment shared by Achayok and R.D.W., according to documents filed by die Anchorage District Attorney's Office.

Aehayok said "she found out he was cheating on her," according to a police report.

Swelling prevented surgeons from sewing up the damage, and it wasn't clear if any of the tissue was missing. Police said they thoroughly searched the apartment and didn't find any skin fragments.

Memorabilia sells big at auction NEW YORK (AP) — Lee Harvey Oswald's toe tag — and a lock of his hair — fetched 58,800 at an auction.

Minnesota radio personality Dave Ryan phoned in the winning bid for the hair and the tag, which Parkland Hospital in Dallas used to identify the corpse of President Kennedy's killer in 1963.

The money , vent to the assassin's brother, Robert Oswald of Texas.

The other big seller at Thursday's auction was a signed receipt for the clothing Amy Fisher wore when she checked into the Nassau County Jail.

Peter Cosenza of New York, a self-described groupie of the woman who shot Joey Buttafuoco's wife, paid $605 for the piece of paper. It had been rescued from the trash by a jail employee.

Russian council approves amnesty MOSCOW (AP) — In a slap at Boris Yeltsin, parliament approved a sweeping amnesty Wednesday that bars prosecution of the leaders of the 1991 Soviet coup and the former hard-line lawmakers who battled the president last October.

Supporters of the measure contended it would help heal Russia's political wounds, but opponents said it could revive the violence that turned Moscow's streets into battlegrounds last fall.

The amnesty, backed mainly by Communist and nationalist forces opposed to Yeltsin's reforms, won passage on a 252-67 vote, with 28 deputies abstaining, in the Duma, the powerful lower house of parliament.

"This decision is a step toward more political destabilization in the country," said Yegor Gaidar, Yeltsin's former economics minister who also is a member of parliament. "It may result in their (hard-line leaders) bringing people out into the streets again."

Sergei Stankevich, a parliament member and former adviser to Yeltsin, told The Associated Press the amnesty did not require Yeltsin's approval. He said it would take effect as soon as it was published in the Russian news media.

Loud snorer gets hauled to court DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — A woman who snored so loudly that her next-door neighbor couldn't sleep has been hauled into court for violating the city's noise ordinance.

Sari Zayed, a 30-year-old mother of two, pleaded innocent Wednesday, but must return to court March 25. She faces a $50 fine if convicted.

Her neighbor, Chris Doherty, complained that he lost sleep because he could hear the woman's snoring through their common bedroom wall in the duplex.

Now Mrs. Zayed says she's the one who can't sleep.

You kind of wonder what's going to happen now," said Mrs. Zayed. who has hired a lawyer and is considering a lawsuit of her own. "Am I going to snore? Is my husband going to snore? Is this man going to come through the wall?"

Doherty had complained to her three times before calling police. She tried to stop and even tried putting a mattress against the wall to muffle the sound.

Terris 2 „A cents The beauty of garter belts

March 1, 1994 down over her hips like so much hot fudge. The straps were tipped with little rubber nibs which grasped the tops of a pair of graphite black stockings.

That was all it took. I got out my credit card and dialed the operator.

When my package arrived, I squirreled away into my room and shut the door. This was the

ticket to my fantasy allurement.

I snapped the Ming around my waist and spun around to face the mirror. At this point, I felt a bit like a May pole.

It took me a minute to figure out how to work the little rubber nibs that held the stockings up, but once I did, I anchored the stockings into position.

Now this was anew and strange sensation. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. For me, the jury is still out on why men-people are so in love with garter belts, but I now know why women feel instantly sexy in one.

It's kind of like having a Slinky

I couldn't stand it anymore. I had wanted one for a long time and I suddenly became absolutely resolved to get one.

When "that" particular holiday came around last month, I scoured the malls looking for one in my size, but to no avail. I finally had to resort to searching specialty catalogues until I found one.

And there it was on page 63- a black garter belt. It was cinched expectantly around the model's waist with the garters spilling ••••

The next time I saw my boyfriend, the mere mention that I had it on brought a sheepish smile warmed by a flush of pink across his face. He started feeling around for those little rubber nibs like it was Braille, or something. All of a sudden, he was Helen Keller and I was War and Piece .

Like I said before, I don't understand what kind of thing menpeople have with garter belts, but I find them to be fun and practical.

They're much cooler and airier for summer dressing, and the crotch won't ever slip down around your knees while you're walking at a full clip through the mall.

And then there's that stair thing.

UCO Foundation seeks

Board of Trustees announces scholarship

new executive director Jeff Billington Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Foundation is searching for a new executive director that will handle fund raising and the coordination of activities provided by the Foundation.

The position has been open since the first of January, when Bill Wilson, the executive director of two years, left.

By Jojo Takyi-Micah Staff Writer Bernard Flail, president of the University of Central Oklahoma Foundation Board of Trustees, announced at theFoundation's first Donor/Recipient Luncheon on Wednesday that a special Foundation scholarship will be started next semester.

"This will be a unique scholarship that the Foundation will be responsible for," Hall said.

He said theFoundation already had $11,600 towards that scholarship and hoped it will be the most prestigious that the board gives out each year.

The UCO Foundation Scholarship will go to the "cream of the crop," students with high academic standards and active participation in campus activities, he said.

Dick Burpee, vice-president of Development and Community Relations, and interim director of the Foundation, said each member of the board had contributed personally to the Foundation Scholarship.

Burpee talked about the difficulty of choosing among the applicants and thanked the donors who have made it possible for some students to get a degree.

dents because we're looking for a person that has a B.A. degree and has at least five years of fundraising experience," said Caroline Wall, office manager for the Foundation.

The Foundation was started in 1953 to help promote and assist UCO with funding.

Resumes are being accepted until March 15 at the Foundation Office. For more information, call 341-2980, Ext. 2770.

"I can see where many people give up. It is a financial burden to go through college, so a scholarship makes a big difference," Joaquinn Stevens, former Student Government Association president said. "It is hard to have a job and be a music major and be active in concerts. You have to ask for many days off which leaves you with very little income, so any financial assistance helps you through the semester."

The UCOFoundation administered over 100 departmental and Foundation scholarships this semester.

Tennis suit hits higher court

Lady Bronchos squeak

by Texas Woman's Univ.

Scott Moore

Sports Writer It wasn't dominant, but the Central Oklahoma women's basketball team outlasted Texas Woman's University 71-63 Thursday night inside Hamilton Field House in the Lady Bronchos' final home game of the season.

UCO struggled with TWU for (much of the game before finally shaking off the Pioneers in the final seven minutes of play. The now 5-20 Pioneers stayed with the Lady Bronchos, trailing most of the first half but finally catching UCO by scoring the final eight points of the half to take a 34-30 lead into the locker room.

UCO, relying on a strong inside game, score the first 10 points of the second half to regain the lead at 40-34. The Pioneers held tough and the lead changed hands six times before Senior center Penni Kime's layup off a steal with 6:12 left broke a 52-52 tie and gave UCO the lead for good. The Lady Bronchos outscored TWU 19-11 in the final 6:30 of the game to seal the victory.

"I knew it would be a tough game," said Head Coach John Keely. "There a good ball club.

No one has blown them out all year. (Lynn Bria) has done a great job of coaching them, and they're a very fundamentally sound team."

UCO shot 43 percent from the field for the game but converted

only 3 of 19 (15 percent) threepoint shots. The Lady Bronchos relied en the inside attack of Kime who led UCO with 19 points. Senior forwards Kim Priddy and Tammy Cummings added 16 and 10 points, respectively.

Cummings collected a game-high 11 rebounds.

UCO, 10-15 overall and 6-8 in the Lone Star Conference, will finish fifth in the LSC and will travel to Kingsville, Texas to take on Texas A&M-Kingsville tonight in the first round of the conference tournament.

UCO has now run its record against Texas Woman's University to 13-2.

"This win was very important to us," said Keely. "It puts us back on the winning track, and our players are playing well. We'llbe ready when the tournament gets here."

The Pioneers were led by forward Brandi Bosley with 21 points and center Tammi Julch with 12.

Bosely nailed 5 of 6 from threepoint range.

"They have a great inside-outside attack, and they keep the ball moving very well," said Keely.

The Pioneers came out cold in the second, shooting a frigid 29 percent (10-34) which allowed the Lady Bronchos to climb back into the game. TWU fought back but strong free-throw shooting down the stretch kept the Pioneers at bay.

UCO shot 77 percent from the

Head Coach John Keely, in a Feb. 4 interview, praised the play of Cummings since the beginning of the spring semester.

"She has a lot of confidence and has really helped this team in every way she can," said Keely.

"Tammy has taken over the inside leadership role, but she is very unselfish, so this is still very much a team effort."

Tammy's career is nearing its end. So how does she feel about her tenure as a Lady Broncho?

"It's been fun," she said. "I've enjoyed playing with everyone on the team. And it wouldn't be like that if we didn't have the coach that we have and the players that we have. The team is great."

UCO hosts

LSC tourny

Central Oklahoma will host the first round of the Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament in Hamilton Field House tonight.

The winner of the conference tournament will recieve an automatic berth into the national tournament.

All fans must buy tickets for the game, including UCO students and faculty. Ticket prices are $3 for students and $5 for adults. Tip-off is at 8 p.m.

Attorneys for both sides will be appearing in front of a U.S. District Court Judge to set all deadlines in the case of Chris Stanley versus the University of Central Oklahoma.

The case was filed by Stanley earlier this year. He claims that UCO tennis coach Francis Baxter kicked him off the team because he joined a fraternity. He also claims that Baxter would let him back on the team if he quit the fraternity.

The counsel for the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, which is representing UCO, has filed an answer to Stanley's complaint, as well as a discovery request. The request will give the counsel an opportunity to review the evidence that Stanley's attorneys have gathered.

Lawyers for both sides will meet with the appointed j udge on March 2 for a status scheduling conference. The conference will set all compliance dates, such as the last time you can ask questions prior to court or put someone on a witnes list, and discovery deadlines , according to Sheridan McCaffree, the counselor representing the university.

The athletic department, which was named in the suit, has not changed anything according to Skip Wagnon, the athletic director.

Although it was not named in his complaint, sources said that Stanley was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity.

"I will always explore an outof-court settlement." said, McCaffree. "It is unlikely though in this case."

Baxter could not be reached for comment.

Financial aid office hosts open house

By Michelle Peller and Jojo Takyi-Micah Staff Writers

The University of Central Oklahoma Office of Financial Aid held its third annual open house Feb. 18 to show the public how the financial aid office operates.

The open house was in celebration of financial aid awareness week, said Sheila Fugett, director of financial aid.

Fugett said that most people do not know what the financial aid process involves, and this was a way to show them "behind the scenes."

"Our objective is to invite both students, staff and faculty to come in and meet the people of financial aid...answer questions or concerns...," she said. "We're here to serve them. We have their best

interest at heart."

Bruce Weber, vice president for student loans at the Stillwater National Bank, said, "I always consider this office very professional."

He said UCO had a very busy financial aid office with very courteous people, who act like they have fun doing their jobs.

There are two parts to the financial aid office. One part is designed as an information counter for express service where completed forms are turned in and questions are answered. The other part is one-on-one with a counselor.

There are five counselors who each deal with approximately 2,500 cases, Fugett said.

In order to see a counselor, a student must make an appointment at least 48 hours earlier be-

cause of the number of students they deal with.

This also gives the counselor time to prepare.

"I think each year, we have been able to improve upon our services," she said.

Fugett said seminars were held to "enlighten students about the possibilities of financial aid that might be available."

Last semester, the seminars were held five times a week twice a day "to accommodate the students' class schedule as much as possible," said Richard Rolison, peer counselor for financial aid.

"We're doing everything to

make ourselves available," she said.

Weber said UCO has "a wellmanaged financial aid office, a strong point for the school."

"My experience with UCO students is excellent," he said.

Dr. Clyde T. Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, commended the financial aid office on their excellent use of space.

Faculty, staff, banks and collection agencies, students and regents were all invited to the open house.

About 150 guests attended this year' s Financial Aid Open House, said Kenny Ward of the financial aid office.
