ust the facts, ma'am: State Question 669
Just about every evening a commercial can be seen on TV about State Question 669—a freeze, a fraud, a what?! Why all the fuss? Here's a breakdown of the issue that has taken Oklahoma by storm. Mike Means, Oklahoma county assessor, said there's no easy way to explain it, but said he would make it easy for the average person to understand, minus the legal jargon. Means said SQ 669 changes the method of which real property is valued for tax purposes. 6a1111 "------1 An example of real property is a piece of land with a house on it as opposed to personal property, such as a car or a boat. Means said right now appraisals of real property are done to set a value and determine its tax. Under SQ 669, the tax of the property is set according to its value as of Dec. 1, 1993. Under SQ 669, as soon

as the property is sold or improvements are made on the property, the amount of taxes paid on that property changes. Means said some exceptions to the 669 rule would be: • If the property is passed down in the family, there would be no change in taxes. • Agriculture land is barely affected because it is considered under 'use value,' so it won't be affected as much as everything else," Means said. He gave an example of how property tax will change if SQ 669 passes. "Let's say you've owned your property since 1990. Your taxes have gone up due to increases in assessment. And they've gone up as recently as 1994. "Well, if 669
passes, those taxes will roll back to 1993 and they will stay there. "If you sell that property to someone in 1996, the value they pay for that property is the value they will pay for taxes." Means said communities go through hot and cold periods or "rebirth periods" based on growth of neighborhoods and other factors. Currently, the value of real property is re-assessed as it moves through different periods. He said under SQ 669, the owner pays taxes on property based on the value of what

House to vote on bill to raise minimum wage House Bill 2052, the legislation that would raise the minimum wage scale in Oklahoma from the present $4.25 to $5 an hour, has passed in the House committee and awaits approval by the Oklahoma House of Representatives March 14. The bill's author, Democratic Rep. Opio Toure of District 99, Oklahoma City, said the scale is set on both a state and a national level. Areas covered by Interstate Commerce are required by federal law to provide the national minimum. However, indivdual states can choose a higher rate, he said. Eleven states now have minimum wages higher than the federally mandated rate. Hawaii and the District of Columbia have the highest rate at $5.25, followed by New Jersey's $5.05. Washington State's pay scale begins at $4.90. Alaska, Maine, Oregon and Vermont set the state scale at $4.75. Delaware and Iowa pay $4.65 an hour while Rhode Island starts at $4.45.

EDITORIAL
SQ 669 latest anti-education bill I
t seems the devious schemes to undermine education are getting more sophisticated and insidious. The latest weapon in the arsenal of these enemies of instruction is the innocuous-sounding State Question 669. SQ 669 assumes the apparel of tax equity but is shrouded in the cloak of deceit. It claims to benefit all and sundry who are buckling under the oppressing weight of governmental taxation, but the only obvious beneficiaries are the landowners and the farmers. These proponents of SQ 669 whine about the hard times and how they are strapped for cash. They should talk to the people who know— students. For who are better experts at feeling the money pinch than those who not only balance a juggling act with classes but also walk a tightrope between jobs, tuition, rent, bills, house payments, child support, car installments, etc.? Why is it that students bear the brunt of budget cuts and tuition hikes and policies that hurt more than they help? Can this be due to the fact that they wield little political clout because they lack that influential jingle in their pockets? Lawmakers may do well to remember that today's students are tomorrow's leaders, managers and voters. Students are the next generation of people in power. A good investment is one that pays huge dividends down the road. Education is a good example of a good investment. True, the profits can't be measured in dollars and cents, but the payoff is the cultivation of learned, intelligent people who can carry out stimulating conversations. Does that not make better sense? Someone once said that not casting a vote is tantamount to making a powerful statement about the present plight of politics, but I think voting an emphatic and resounding no to SQ 669 delivers more punch than keeping mum ever will.

LETTERS
Up in arms over letter Three UCO students shoots back fast and furiously s ignorance truly bliss? The reply in The Vista's Feb. 29 issue to the celebration of Black History month was truly a show of ignorance. How often does one hear an abundance of positive news involving blacks? Not often, right? Regardless of the good done, there is always an attempt to show fault. Surely there has been many fliers, banners and posters displayed that remind us (ALL of US) of the great accomplishments of blacks and how they have affected and continue to affect the world, but how many times do you hear any of this during the rest of the year? No, we don't learn about the achievements of ALL people. In fact, we learn very little. McCoy, Morgan and Parker aren't even the tip of the

iceberg. Very few people in America know of their country's many unsung heroes of color. As for the "problem" with Miss Black UCO, surely the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars the federally-aided from committing acts of discrimination, but what does that have to do with Miss Black UCO? To my knowledge, the competition is open to all women, be they Black, Caucasian, Asian, Native American or any other race. It's probably even unfair to bar men from the competition. Miss Black UCO was established to offer opportunities to disenfranchised black women, but has never been limited "only" to black women. Yes, blacks have fought for many generations to gain equality in the eyes of others and still we continue to strive. It
merely seems that for every victory, there is a substantial loss. No, there should be no limitation to knowledge beneficial to all, be it of black history or any other history as long as it's simply not just HisStory. No, black women should not be restricted to competition to Miss Black UCO, nor should they or anyone be prohibited from competition in Miss UCO, Miss America or even the office of the President of the United States. No, we shouldn't merely celebrate black individuals and achievements in just the month of February, but the entire year. Please people, look at what has "not" been done to "further" equality, for at times it seems we only progress as Tar as we regress. Keith Martin
hosts two pow-wows every year, and they choose a "princess" to represent UCO at other Native American functions and powwows around the state. There are many other examples as well. Remember, we celebrate white culture all the time just by speaking English, decorating
Christmas trees, St. Patrick's Day, Columbus Day, and don't forget the Czech Festival, Greek Fest, Oktoberfest and the Medieval Fair in Normail. We have more celebrations of white culture than you can shake a stick at. What more do you

they paid for it, whether or not it's a true indication of the property value based on other factors. "Let's say I bought my home for a certain price (before the passing of SQ 669), so now we're going to roll back to 1993 and lock me in at that value. "You're a first-time homebuyer coming out of college (after the passing of SQ 669), you're going to pay more in taxes living next door to me than what I'm paying,
and we get the same services." Means said SQ 669 is good for those who currently have a home and plan to stay there. "But it's impossible for a first-time buyer coming right out of college to benefit from this at all," he said.

Four wallets have been stolen this semester from unsecured lockers in the men's locker room of Hamilton Field House. "We have recovered some (wallets) with IDs, even credit cards and checks, (but) no cash. So people are lucky that they've gotten things back," said Ted Jones, assistant chief of the UCO police. "People should think ahead and take the security precaution of putting a lock on the locker," said Jones. The police are presently investigating the thefts.
Students abuse Internet, dial-up access systems
T
he system which allows access to class schedules and the Internet has been successful in most respects, said Maithreyi Manoharan, director of UCO's Computer Center, but it has also been tarnished with a few abuses: • A student sending hate mail to two public institutions in Oklahoma. • Student(s) tapping into a California college's password and logging onto its system and resources. • Students tying up the dialup access line and preventing others from using it. "Complaints have been received (from other universities) to keep students off their systems," said Manoharan. "These (pranks) don't cost UCO money, but it hurts our reputation." Manoharan said the last thing she wants is to impose rules and regulations on students using the system. "I'd hate to penalize 99 percent of the students just because of that one percent who are abusing it," she said.

want? Two things have given me an appreciation for such cultural events as Black History Month and the Miss Black UCO Pageant. First, because I took the time to become familiar with the history and languages of my own family, I am able to enjoy the heritage of others as well. Second, a year and a half ago, I was introduced to
several black family members I never knew I had. Does this mean my family is divided over Black History Month? No. It means we take pride in our diversity. It means that I can enjoy Black History Month and the Scottish Highland Games. There is absolutely no difference between the two. —David A. Schneider
am writing in response to the letter sent by the student who felt that Black History Month was sickening. My first response was that this was a very ignorant person intent upon stirring up racial tensions. But, as I thought more about the subject, I realized that he was not an ignorant student, merely uninformed about and unaffected by racism. Why Black History Month? Black History Month was enacted at a time when black names were omitted from history books. And, very little has changed since then. Any textbook you pick up could easily prove my point. Each chapter is filled with the plights of our "founding fathers." Except for the half chapter that describes the black passage over the slave trade and the Emancipation Proclamation. After that, we seemed to have mysteriously vanished from the records. I could easily recount in 10 minutes the history of black people that I've learned since I began school. Whereas it would take me hours to tell what I've learned about George Washington alone. I find this fact very saddening considering that this very country was built with the sweat, tears and callused hands of my black ancestors. That brings me to the second question: Why Miss Black UCO? Pageants featuring only black women started at a time when we were unable to win pageant titles. And again, very little has changed since that time.
How many Miss UCO pageants were won by black contestants? How many Homecoming queens? We were forced to hold separate pageants to uplift our selfesteem. The thought that one's ethnicity is not beautiful enough to win a pageant is very detrimental to any group. Black pageants, simply, give us a chance to showcase the beauty and talent of our black sisters. Does Jason G. Bryan actually believe that after 200 years of enslavement that one month out of the year dedicated to the accomplishments of black people is too much? Black History Month not only gives blacks a chance to parade our accomplishments, it gives other races a chance to see that after the turmoil and the hatred our people went through that we can still rise above it all to achieve accomplishments that are important to America today. Does Bryan believe that after being kidnapped from our families, sold like we were property, killed because of the color of our skin, forced to work like animals and fighting long and hard for our rightful freedom is not enough reason to celebrate, honor, praise, hail and glorify blacks? If 28 days out of the year is too much to ask for rejoice in our black pride and forget about the racism, abhorrence and disapprovement

that is shown toward our black people the other 337 days of the year, tough. We applaud The Vista for its part in recognizing Black History Month. We hope that everyone and Jason Bryan understand that before we can accept and love others, we first have to accept and love ourselves. Black History Month is a chance to recognize all that we have accomplished and to give us a deeper feeling of respect and pride for ourselves and our culture. It is also a time to show the ones that don't know and to remind the ones that do that Black is Beautiful! —Demetria Maxwell and MeShawn Conley

Lady Bronchos' softball team struggles to 2-3 start By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer OKLAHOMA CITY — The Central Oklahoma softball team began the 1996 season by placing third in the Central Oklahoma Invitational, bowing to Central Missouri State 9-1 Saturday afternoon at Hall of Fame Field. The Lady Bronchos went 2-3 this weekend, defeating Northwest Missouri 7-0 Saturday morning and South Dakota State 3-1 Friday while losing to Central Missouri again on Thursday afternoon 5-2 in eight innings and Pittsburg State 5-4 on Friday. "Three steps forward and one step back," UCO softball coach Gerry Pinkston said to describe the tournament for her team, which includes just two seniors. "They'll improve, but with a young team, there's sometimes inconsistency. I'll have to be patient." The Central Missouri State
Jennies, who had a three-run eighth inning to defeat the Lady Bronchos Thursday in UCO's season opener, tallied six runs in the sixth to put away UCO on Saturday. Jennies designated player Keri Magnuson led off the inning by drawing a walk, the first of three given up by UCO relief A UCO softball player puts the ball in play during the tournament. (Staff photo by Bill pitcher Stacy Wilkinson) Dannels in the inning, but UCO also made three inning. The Jennies batted around in fielding errors in the inning to the inning as Magnuson also blow open a 3-0 game. Dannels hit a long single into concluded the inning by the right field gap in the bottom grounding out for the second out, of the sixth to drive in pinch and then Jennies third baseman runner Kerri Fischer for the Susan Punzo was caught stealing Lady Bronchos' lone run of the on the play. CMSU totaled three hits in the contest.
Don't just see the movie, hear it .
Mr, Holiand
UCO pitcher Lawanda Worthy took the loss to drop to 0-3 on the season, while CMSU's Sam McCasland improved to 2-1 with both victories over UCO. Pinkston says that UCO can be competitive with the Jennies, who are ranked seventh in NCAA Division II. "I still feel like we can beat them if we put together a good game," said Pinkston. "We'll face them again in upcoming tournaments, so I sure hope we can give them a better game next time." UCO will play Moorhead State and Northern State backto-back this afternoon at the UCO softball field. Game time is 3 p.m. for the first game, while the second game will start at 4:30 p.m. LADY BRONCHO NOTES: Freshman shortstop Chasidy Horton missed Saturday afternoon's game due to back spasms. Freshman Marina Cook, the younger sister of former
Lady Broncho Stephanie Cook, started in Horton's place. Pinkston expects Horton, who had gone 3-for-3 with three RBIs against Pittsburg State, to play this afternoon... Horton also leads the team in batting average (.444) and RBIs (4). Junior catcher Ericka Stout, a transfer from Crowder (Mo.) College, is second in batting average with a .400 clip.

Broncho wrestlers to travel to Greeley, Colo. UCO wrestling team to have seven wrestlers in attempt for national title By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer KIRKSVILLE, Mo. — The
four-time national champion Central Oklahoma wrestling team took its first step towards a fifth title, qualifying seven wrestlers for the national tournament while winning the team's seventh straight NCAA Division II Midwest Regional crown Thursday on the campus of Northeast Missouri State University. _ The top-ranked Bronchos scored 161.5 points while 20thranked Southern IllinoisEdwardsville finished second with 92 and Central Missouri State took third with 89.5 points. UCO wrestlers won six individual championships, including 118-pounder Keith Kizarr, 126 Matt Goodson, 134 Ryan Vratil, 142 Jerry Best, 150 Shawn Bateman and Heavyweight Jeff Pease, each earning bids to the championship

in Greeley, Colo. March 15-16. Mark Cunningham finished runner-up at 158 pounds to also earn a ticket to Colorado. Kyle Vandruff took fourth at 190 pounds, Chad Beeson placed fifth at 167, and Chad Drake placed sixth at 177, but each failed to earn a wild-card bid. "Obviously we wanted to get all 10 to nationals, but seven is probably realistically all we could have expected," UCO wrestling coach David James said. "I thought we wrestled well and had several individuals step it up, particularly in the finals." Two-time All-American Jerry Best shared Wrestler of the Year honors at the regional with Moorhead State sophomore Nate Hendrickson, who won the 158pound title. Best, who will seek his third straight national title in Greeley, scored the only major decision among the finalists, defeating Jayson Querciagrossa of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville
I thought we wrestled well and had several individuals step it up, particularly in the finals. --UCO wrestling coach David James 17-9 for the regional title. All-American Jeff Pease scored the second-most margin of victory in the championship round, decisioning WisconsinParkside's Todd Raymond, 11-6. Last year all 10 of UCO's wrestlers qualified for nationals as the Bronchos took their fourth straight national title. This year they have less qualifiers, but James says the team still has a chance with seven wrestlers. "We have to be happy having won the regional," said James.

Two 'girlies' find courage to grow, let grow By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
Co-drivers on the road of life
My mother always told me her kids gave her an education. Even now, as a college student, her words ring true to me. I know because 17 years ago today, I met a wise old sage in a most unscholarly way. My daughter, Lisa Marie, was born March 5, 1979, thus granting me my M.O.M. degree. If you've never thought of the labor room as an institution of higher learning, consider these parallels: humiliation, pain, multiple exams and self-satisfaction. The inauspicious aspects of childbirth equip women with experience in utter humiliation. These come in handy when the child turns into a teen-ager. Time went on and Lisa and I became traveling companions down education's convoluted road. I called her "girlie" and she thought I knew it all. To my amazement, the older she got, the less I knew. When she was three, she went everywhere with me, giving instructions along the way. "Mama," said the adoring child with summer hair and eyes the color of chocolate drops to the impossibly young mother, "we are two girlies." I miss those two girlies, and wonder where they went. These days, we don't always approve of each. other; we dare to disagree. Seventeen means courage to grow and let grow. It has been such inspiration that going back

to school seems workable to me. Not that I don't sometimes imagine I see a big fat F poised over my parental transcript. Why is the contempt of a 17-year-old such a wondrous and fearful thing? After all, as a group, 17year-olds lack perspective, credibility and money. They become catatonic if they run out of hair conditioner, or whatever it is at the moment they need to prevent the earth from splitting like the ends of the hair on their self-centered heads. If the room looks like squatters' camp, you have found the lair of a 17-year-old. Inhale. Remember that aroma from youth? It is a manic blend of confidence and
fear. Of letting go while hanging on, of ambivalence and single-mindedness. If it just smells like Corn Nuts and yearbooks, you don't remember it from the first time, and that's too bad. Because it's the essence of growing up, and we all need a whiff if we are to grow at all. Where did they go, those two girlies? We're still traveling the same road; we just switched drivers.

March 5, 1996
The deadline for this year's student symposium, which commemorates the April 19 bombing, is creeping up. The symposium is a day-long seminar sponsored by the College of Liberal Arts. Students are encouraged to present their ideas and creativity in any applicable manner, including poetry, photography, research papers, painting, demonstrations and musical performances. Its name, Crosscurrents 8, reflects the interaction between different forms of presentations and the different colleges. This is the eighth student symposium at UCO, said Dr. r i s vood, ;on of )osium

The liberal arts department will provide audio and visual equipment on request, he said. "It's entirely student-oriented. It's not judged by falculty (or) graded," said Markwood. As opposed to a classroom setting, "it's a far less threatening atmosphere." Dr. Susan Spencer, a committee member, said the symposium is open to all students and ideas. The suggested topics — just a kind guideline and not meant to 1 suggestions. There are 10 suggested themes: Tht • Oklahoma C: bombing
Many of the themes deal with the April 19 bombing because it occurred on the same day as last year's symposium. This year's symposium will also feature outside assessors, who will provide feedback on 4 the program, said Spencer. Illustrations by staff cartoonist Sean Ashby.

Dial-up access to require • number log-in
O
ne restriction that will
soon apply to students who use dial-up access from off-campus is the need for a log-in ID number. Maithreyi Manoharan, director - of the Computer Center, explains that this is done for two reasons:
• The availability of telephone lines—anybody in Edmond can call in and tie them up. • Security—when students are able to self-enroll through the phone or the modem, the security (of the log-in number) will prevent others from impersonating them and enrolling in their place. As of now, class standings and catalog listings can be called up via dial-up access. In about a month, students' financial aid status will be added to the screen, said Manoharan.
