Committee votes 6-3 for four ceremonies in May By Heide Brandes
Terrorists target Americans more
Staff Writer The Student Advisory Commencement Committee voted six to three last Wednesday in favor of having four separate graduation ceremonies for each of the colleges on campus and voted unanimously that the ceremonies be held in the Dale Hamilton Fieldhouse (presently the Broncho Fieldhouse). Unlike previous years, the names of the graduates will be announced as part of the ceremony. The committee was made up of representatives from each college and from the Student Government Association, the President's Leadership Council and the President's Club. The plan calls for the colleges of business, education, liberal arts and math and sciences to hold a separate commencement ceremony in the Dale Hamilton Fieldhouse at different times. "I am pleased we can implement the recommendations of the committee," said President George Nigh. "What is important is that this is what the students recommended." "The most important thing this year was that each student's name be called," said Elaine Paparonis, committee representative for the Student Government Association. "Every student will be named and recognized for years of hard work. This is important to both the students and the parents. " In the past, graduation was held in the stadium. Paparonis said she felt having the ceremonies in the field house would be better. "This will be great for family members who might otherwise suffer from health problems due to heat," she said.
WASHINGTON (AP) —Roughly half the world's terrorist attacks are directed at Americans, but only a handful have been carried out on U.S soil. Americans have taken for granted that they were safe from terrorism at home — and for good reason. Of the 557 terrorist attacks logged by the State Department in 1991, only five occurred in the United States. Yet 55 percent of worldwide terrorist attacks in 1991 were directed against Americans or Americanowned property , according to the State Department.
Food stamp rolls hit record in '92 WASHINGTON (AP) — The economy may be showing signs of recovery, but the number of food stamp recipients is still rising, to a record 26.6 million people in December, according to the latest government statistics. The report showed increases in every region of the country, but particularly in the Northeast, Mountain Plains, Southwest and Western regions. The previous record was 26.4 million in September 1992.

stadium bleachers would be set up at the south end, Simpson said. "The seats would make a big oval," Simpson said. "Hundreds of seats would be available and everyone would be facing the stage." Graduation ceremonies will be held over a two day period set for May 7 and 8.
SGA compromises, passes bill
Married couples may see tax hike on higher incomes WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton's tax plan has an unadvertised extra bite on high-income Americans — a greater tax penalty for marriage. The income tax traditionally has extracted a higher tax from couples at some earning levels, compared with what two single people with comparable incomes would pay. This "marriage penalty" would be worsened by Clinton's deficit-reduction plan, which includes a new 36 percent top rate and a 10 percent surtax on those with taxable incomes over
"Apparently, (last year) they had to call the ambulance out a couple of times for people who had problems due to the heat." Nigh said he doesn't foresee any major problems with the plan. "We won't have to worry about rain," said Nigh. "It will have controlled temperature and it will be set up for maximum attendance." On the other hand, some committee members cited more problems due to the plan. "I still think there will be more chaos and not near as big of a deal," said Tobey Simpson, representative for the President's Leadership Council. "I talked to a lot of students and not a single person wanted it. There's not going to be enough room. It just takes common sense to see that they won't fit." The field house has 2,200 seats available. "There are 800 graduating seniors in the college of education," Simpson said. "I know I'm going to have at least 15 people come to see me graduate. There are going to be people coming in from out of state and there's not going to be room. And, how are we going to get handicapped people in and where are we going to put them? On the floor?" In addition to seating problems, Simpson said the plan would segregate the college. "I've got friends that I've known for four years, we have the same scholarship and we're all graduating together," he said. "We're all going to graduate at different times and I can't go see all of them." A previous plan called for the graduation ceremonies to be held on the football field with the stage at the north end. Besides the stadium seating,

Staff Writer Representatives from universities around the state passed a bill concerning the tuition increase proposal of the State Regents of Higher Education at a meeting of the Oklahoma Student Goverment Association last weekend.

"The bill says the students will support a 6 to 7 percent increase in tuition if there's only a 3 percent decrease in the state appropriations for higher education," said Elaine Paparonis, speaker of the University of Central Oklahoma's Student Senate. Earlier this year, the state regents called for a 10 percent tuition hike and
Gov. David Walters called for a 9 percent cut in appropriations. "It's basically a compromise, we're tying to look at things realistically," said Joaquinn Stevens, 'UCO Student Government Association president. "No one wants to pay more, but we understand that some cuts are necessary."

Clinton's new program a plus for student aid, higher ed President Clinton's new "save the children and let them all go to college" campaign, allowing students to repay loans through community service, will help students attend college while allowing them to learn a little bit about life by helping others. The program, which will begin this summer, if given Congressional approval, with a pilot project of 1,000 students and grow to more than 100,000 students within four years, will make college affordable to many students who would not otherwise be able to further their education after high school. Students will have the opportunity to either pay back the loans through community service projects, such as involvement in education, health, safety and environmental projects, or they could repay the loans based on a percentage of their income rather than the amount borrowed. In other words, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would likely govern the program, charging the students a repayment amount at tax time. Eli Segal, Clinton's top adviser on the program, said there would likely be a cap on loan amounts forgiven by the federal government. The current average federal guaranteed student loan debt is $6,300.

VNORPOIRO,
What do you think about tuition hikes?
Although the project has received some flack from union leaders who are concerned that the program may take jobs away from adults and give them to community service workers at lower pay, and others who say the program, like many of Clinton's campaign dreams, will run straight down the deficit drain, the program will likely benefit the country by allowing more students to expand their horizons through higher education. For example, education majors could receive practical teaching experience during college by tutoring children as a community service program to help repay their college loans. Students wishing to enter a counseling field could test their abilities by working with inner-city youth as a community service project, and so on. The program will cost at least $7 billion more than the federal government presently spends on student aid, but it will save millions in loan defaults that are presently billed to the federal government. Students would not be able to default as easilty because the program would be governed by a special committee, the IRS and state and federal agencies. The plan will completely renovate college aid and, as Clinton says, "change America forever and for the better."
Jerry Derozier Sophomore/ Art Education " It sucks , because, I'm
working and going to class. It's hard enough just to stay in school paying for what it costs now in the allotted time."
Bonnie Hancock Sophomore/ Anthropology " It depends on what the tuition increase is used for. If they use it to update the campus, then I'm all for it."
Tom Stockwell Graduate/Special Education "How many times are they going to do it- increase our tuition ?"

Nigh explains $46 million plan
Campus expansions renovations to come ,
By Roy Howe Staff Writer
More than 150 University of Central Oklahoma faculty and staff members gathered in Mitchell Hall Thursday to hear the university's president explain UCO's $46 million Master Plan. George Nigh, university president, explained that he has nothing but high expectations and excitement for the future of UCO for the university's Master Plan. "We're pleased with what we have going on here at UCO" he said. "We're pleased with the support we have received from the faculty and students.
and moving the parking areas to encircle the perimeters of the colleges. "We will be filling in rather than expanding. Parking will surround the campus," he said. "If everything goes well, we would like to have the additional parking in place by September," Nigh said. "It's our goal to have everything under construction in a years time." In addition, the Master Plan includes fiber optic connections networking all classroom buildings, industrial arts renovation, a lecture hall in the
business building, a Scene Shop in Mitchell Hall and renovation and expansion to the Communications Building. "What is built first depends on what monies become available and how much," Nigh said. "We will take it a step at a time." One million dollars of the plan's funding is allotted from existing UCO physical plant funds and $7.7 million will come from the state's Higher Education Bond Issue passed by the voters last year. To accumulate $37 million of the plan's monies, earlier this
year UCO was given the green light to sell revenue bonds by the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges and the state Legislature. Approval to sell the revenue bonds is now being sought from the State Regents for Higher Education who have tentatively scheduled March 24 to review UCO's proposal. From there, the proposal will seek permission from the Bond Oversight Committee and the attorney general's office to assure that the package is legally sound.
PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING

"It appears that they (faculty) are very supportive," Nigh said. Many are involved in the plan." Nigh stressed that the plan's blueprints are tentative and still open for suggestions and concerns.

"We've moved many buildings (in the Master Plan) because of the faculty's input," he said. "These are only concepts and the faculty supports these concepts," Nigh said. "As we progress, there will, of course, be other changes." The Master Plan involves classroom building expansions, renovations and additional equipment. Parking, landscaping, lighting and safety improvements which include 3,000 additional parking spaces are to be added and an 83,000 square foot library expansion is included in the plan. Expansion of the University Center and a 76,000 square foot multi-purpose classroom and office space building to relieve overcrowding in the College of Education are targets of the Master Plan along with a 75,000 square foot expansion, renovation and additional equipment for Howell Hall. Nigh said the university will become more centralized by building within the areas where the colleges are currently located

After final approval, the bonds will be advertised for sale. Nigh cautioned that at this time the plan involves many "generalities," and once the bonds are placed on the market it could either take a day, a week or a month to sell them. Low interest rates now in effect have university administrators anticipating a quick return on the bonds. "Checks could be written to pay the architects (for projects in Master Plan) as early as June," said Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.
E
very year, a lot of people make a huge mistake on their taxes. They don't take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could be saving for retirement. Fortunately, that's a mistake you can easily avoid with TIAA - CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way to build retirement income—especially for the "extras" that your regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because your contributions are made in before-tax dollars, you pay less taxes now And since all earnings on your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the
money you don't send to Washington works even harder for you. Down the road, that can make a dramatic difference in your quality of life. What else makes SRAs so special? A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of TIAA to the diversified investment accounts of CREF's variable annuity—all backed by the nation's number one retirement system. Why write off the chance for a more rewarding retirement? Call today and learn more about how TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy many happy returns.

Car give-a-way highlights 'Safe Spring Break Week' By Michele Soh Staff Writer
University of Central Oklahoma students pledging not to drink and drive during spring break can sign up to win a car donated by Chrysler, said Jim Finley, president of Bacchus. The nation-wide draw is part of the "Safe Spring Break Week" activities March 8-12. The week is being sponsored by the UCO CoSafe and Bacchus organizations.The number of accidents during spring break increases, usually due to drunk driving, said Finley. "Safe Spring Break" tables will be set up March 8-10 in various buildings on campus for students to sign-up for the draw, said Finley. The tables will be in Old North and the University Center on Monday, March 8; in the Liberal Arts Building on Tuesday, March 9 and again in the UC on Wednesday. The booths will be open from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. all three days. Another "Safe Spring Break" activity is a banner contest open to all student organizations, said Finley. The banners should reflect the theme "Feel the Power-The Power of Positive Choices" as it relates to the responsible use of alcohol and other drugs, said Tiffany Gragert, CoSafe representative. "We promote responsible
drinking, as we want everybody to come back safe after spring break," said Gragert. Banners must be submitted by 3 p.m. March 5 in UC Room 312. The banners will be judged on creativity, theme, message and neatness, said Sarah Kohlwey, another Cosafe representative. The judges of the banner contest are Peggy Foster, director of Student Support Services, Barry Lofton, Multicultural Student Services, Jan Chapel, counselor at the UCO counseling center and Dr. A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services. The banners will be on display in the UC, 2nd floor. First place winner of the banner contest receives 10 pizzas, second place gets 15 bowling passes and third place will win gift bags. During the month of March, representatives of CoSafe will be available to visit campus club meetings to discuss the following topics: Assertiveness, Eating disorders, Listening Skills/How to be a Friend and other drug- or alcohol-related topics, said Chapel. "We have done some research on these topics and are prepared to give a talk about it," said Gragert, a psychology major. Other CoSafe speakers are Kohlwey, Rita Cortez, a sociology major and Ingrid Thompson, a chemical dependency major.

Comedian entertains small crowd By Carol Cole Mills Student Writer
Comedian and juggler Mark Nizer performed to a small, but enthusiastic, audience in a free show Thursday evening at the Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal • Arts building on the University of Central Oklahoma campus. Nizer launched his show, which was sponsored by the UCO Student Programming Board, by juggling three balls probably every way humanly possible and warming up the audience of about 75 with his humorous perceptions of juggling and life in general. The energetic Nizer drew the crowd into his show, bantering back and forth and playing a variety of tricks on the audience. Engaging the audience with his antics, including tossing balls and juggling pins out into the
crowd, Nizer brought several members of the audience on the stage to "help" with various tricks. Nizer teased, "You're sagging," to a student he had coerced up on stage who was attempting to have juggle balls and rings on his foot and arms. The audience roared when Nizer forced members of the audience to give up their chewing gum, and took one woman's book away from her who had come to the show. Nizer made it look easy as he juggled with a variety of objects ranging from pins to rings, to balls of virtually every size. Juggling firelit torches at one point in his act, Nizer proclaimed himself "nosehairless." After getting two hapless participants from the audience, Nizer used their help to mount a unicycle where he juggled a
Review bowling ball while riding. Nizer performed one impressive series using three to eight cigar boxes that he manipulated through the air with the help of centrifugal force(an apparent force tending to pull a thing outward when it is rotating around a center). "If I do this trick right, I get cable," Nizer joked as he performed an intricate juggling trick with four rings and one ball. "And that's pretty important out here." Nizer amazed the audience by juggling five ping pong balls with his mouth, as one of his final tricks. The audience gasped as Nizer performed his parting trick—his most dangerous of the night— juggling a propane tank with a bowling ball and an electric knife, which was on.

The University of Central Oklahoma's newest organization, the Bowling Club, took sixth place in last weekend's tournament which was held at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. The five-man team played nine games and competed with university students from Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma, said Mike Heimback, chemical engineering major and club president. Team standouts included freshman Scott Weston, fifthplace winner, Matt Ratliff, winner of two gold medals in all events, and Mike Heimback, who tied with three others for highest game in the event. Heimback said he and about five other people started the club last semester because they enjoyed bowling, and they talked with other students in their classes about it. The only membership requirements are a one-time annual fee of $5 and enrollment of at least three credit hours at UCO, said Heimback.

It's Tourney Time. Play it again Repeat after me... Lady Bronchos look to win LSC tourney again
Grapplers look to pin down 2nd straight title By Justin Harper Sports Editor
From staff reports
Qualifying nine contestants , being ranked NO.1 and hungry for a second straight title are all good ingredients to have in your possession heading into a competition. Central Oklahoma's wrestling squad possesses all of the above. The Bronchos will be the favorite when they take to the mat in the NCAA II Wrestling Championships on Friday and Saturday in Brookings, S.D. "Hopefully we're going up there with the intention of winning a national championship and not to defend one," said UCO coach David James. "You can't look at what you've done in the past, because if you do you won't be rewarded." Not looking at the past is a difficult chore for a team that has stockpiled nine national titles since 1979; However, the Bronchos seem primed to repeat. UCO won it's fourth straight Midwest Regional crown on Feb. 19 by 45 points. In winning last years title the Bronchos scored 91.5 points in the match and had six wrestlers claim All-American honors.
Defending champion Central Oklahoma goes to Abilene, Tex. this weekend to compete in the CITGO-AFCO Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament, needing to win three games in a three-day span to win its second straight title. The Lady Bronchos finished the regular season at 17-9 overall and 9-5 in the league, tied for second with Abilene Christian and East Texas State. UCO is the No. 3 seed in the LSC Tournament and will face No. 6 Angelo State (1115, 6-8) in Thursday's first round at 6 p.m. A UCO victory would move the Lady Bronchos into a 6 p.m. Friday game with host ACU, while Saturday's championship game is set for 12:30 p.m. and will be televised live by Home Sports Entertainment (HSE). UCO entered last year's tourney as the No. 3 seed, but won the championship with three straight wins, beating No. 6 Angelo State 84-77 in the first round, second seed Eastern New Mexico 76-72 in the semifinals and regular--season champion Abilene Christian 87-85 in the finals.
