Meeting slated to address tuition fees, technology By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer
A
representative from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) will discuss their guidelines for technology on campus and a proposed tuition increase at Monday's Student Government Association (SGA) meeting. Jay Parmley will be stating the role OSRHE sees technology playing in college education in Oklahoma, including OneNet, the statewide video conferencing capability, said Keith Weber, SGA president. Parmley will also discuss a bill the Oklahoma Student Government Association passed this weekend proposing a tuition increase and the possible effect of that increase on students, said Weber. "Over the next two years it is possible that tuition could increase, at the most, 11 percent, but realistically it will be somewhere around 8 percent," said Weber. Students are invited to attend the meeting at 12:45 p.m. Monday in the University Center. Those interested in attending can call SGA in advance at 341-2980, Ext. 3337.

oncerns about student privacy and the accuracy of student records may stop the presses on UCO's student directory. After at least a seven—year absence, the Student Government Association (SGA) last year created and distributed a directory listing the names, phone numbers and addresses of UCO students. However, the complaints and concerns of faculty and students have delayed the release of this year's directory. Many of the complaints were from

faculty trying to reach students at an incorrect listing, said Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president of student services. Students are encouraged to keep their student records updated with current address information, said Ryan. The privacy concerns were brought to the attention of Sheridan McCafrey, general council for the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act authorizes the university to publish a student directory including the

"Student government is not the bad guy," he said. "The university handbook states that this is public information." Harris would like to see the directory return next year, and thinks it is a service for the university. In future years the decision to publish a

"Students who don't want their personal information published in a student directory should specifically request the information not be published," said McCafrey. A form requesting the information be withheld is available to students at the admissions counter.

ost people think news today is too sensationalized. At least that's what a poll done by the Roper Center in January revealed. Sixty-four percent of the 1,500 people surveyed cited sensationalism as a problem in American journalism. And they're probably right. Journalists often pick the juiciest tidbit to top the story. It grabs the reader's attention and pulls him into the story. Without it, the reader may just pass over the story, or the paper all together. The same poll reported 80 percent of the people surveyed said the press was crucial to the functioning of a free society. If not for the press then how would people know what's going on in their government or society? When an unfavorable report is released concerning an organization, the press is faced with difficult decisions. If we scrutinize this carefully and print every tiny infraction or questionable expense are we being sensationalistic? If we don't print every detail are we covering up? In the end, the choices are relatively simple. When public money is involved at a public institution, the public has a right to know every detail. 4

Student offers praise, accolades for self-defense course Tn response to Paul 1McQueen's letter titled "Additional Comments on SelfDefense," I feel my opinion should be voiced concerning the subject matter of self-defense. As a member of The University of Central Oklahoma's Greek system, I was presented an opportunity to attend a selfdefense course, especially for women, sponsored by Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Those in attendance were pleased with the instruction, feeling quite accomplished and well-taught in the area. Over the past year, two of my sorority sisters have been mugged or attacked and many others stalked or followed. The ATO's wanted to make young women on campus feel more confident with themselves when faced with an uncomfortable situation. At this
one night self-defense class, I was put into many real life scenarios and then forced to quickly respond. From any position, I had a choice to protect myself. The first thing Chuck Lucas, our instructor, taught me was to be aware of my surroundings and use any resource to protect myself. We were taught that even a simple object such as a ball-point pen could give us some chance to survive the attack. Let us not forget that Chuck Lucas is an active police officer for the Warr Acres area. He has been put into many real-life situations that have inspired him to help others who are without such training. In reality, I did learn to remain focused and in control of the situation by remembering what I was taught and how to turn the situation around by implementing
a defense tactic. This class taught me how to react properly, where as before I would have given up without any fight. After three hours of this class I felt more confident with my mind, body, and any situation put before me. I realize this one class will not save my life, but at least now all have the knowledge needed to protect myself from those which are out to harm others. In agreement with Mr. McQueen, violence should always be the last resort in crisis. However, we live in a less than perfect world...one of violence that must be challenged. We must live our lives without reservation, and mostly, we must love and protect ourselves when faced with any type of danger. —Kimberly Smith UCO student

Senior citizens hone acting skills at UCO T
hey call themselves the "now or never players." The group of 19 senior citizens practice their acting skills on Tuesday afternoons at UCO. The students have been attending Tuesday afternoon drama class since Jan. 21. Their final project will be performing in a play they've written. Their play, Snowman and the Seven Sylphs, debuts March 14 in the Pegasus Theatre. "It's an improv children's show," said Dr. Roberta Sloan, associate professor of oral communications. Carol Duerksen, a student in the class, wrote the plot and characters in the play. She said she had some acting in high school and for years she has gone to see plays and musicals. Now she wants to get involved. Snowman is an orphan found and raised by a king and queen as their son and the seven sylphs are fairy spirits. "It's based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Duerksen said. Students discuss how the play will be performed in class. The students and Sloan decide what will happen in the play. The cast members spend time
improvising so each member can decide what they want the scenes to be and who their character is. The script will be written and rewritten to match the character's personality, Duerksen said. Jo Spivey said she has taken many of UCO's senior classes. "I guess I'm just a perpetual student," Spivey said. She has taken classes at Rose State College, but said she is happy when UCO offers classes because she lives closer to the university. This is Marilea Hoffmann's first time in a senior theater class but she said she has wanted to attend a senior class for a number of years. She said what she enjoys about the acting class is the chance to come outside oneself. Recent retiree, Pat McAboy said she was looking for something fun to do. "I'm a person who likes to be constantly doing things," McAboy said. Sloan said she enjoys working with the senior group because "they are wonderfully open and free." She said her department wants to develop a strong senior theater class. "Our hope is after taking the class some will decide to take regular drama

OU sponsors trip abroad for students By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer
F
or the fourth summer in a row Dr. Marco Roman, assistant professor of foreign language, will be taking students to Paris,
France. The trip is sponsored by the Arts and Sciences Program at the University of Oklahoma College of Continuing Education. Students who have taken at least 10 hours of college-level French, will spend July 1 through Aug. 14 at the Sorbonne studying French. They will have the opportunity to explore Paris and the French countryside as well as attending a French play and a concert. Roman said the trip was a way to experience the French culture first hand. " The trip can help broaden world views...this is an experience you can't gain in a classroom," Roman said. The students will have plenty of free time to
explore the city on their own, he said. "While we are there the French holiday, similar to our 4th of July, will be happening and this is something I think the students will really enjoy seeing," Roman said. Participants will earn nine credit hours from OU in their choice of French language, literature and civilization courses, which can be transferred back to UCO. Cost for the summer session is $2995. A $200 housing deposit is due before March 14. The cost includes lodging in Paris at the Cite' Universitaire, OU and Sorbonne tuition, metro fares in Paris, and scheduled cultural activities. The fee does not include individual meals or transportation to Paris. The summer session has room for 30 students to participate. For more information about the trip, contact Dr. Marco Roman at 341-2980, Ext. 5849 or Phyllis Walls at 1-800-522-0772, ext. 1947 or (405) 3251947. n

fter 35 years of being separate, the North and South Business Buildings are now connected, adding another chapter to business history at UCO. The first business course taught at UCO was by Richard Thatcher, first president and professor, in 1895. The course was bookkeeping and considered a mathematics course. In the early 1900s, business education became a separate curriculum creating a department needing space. The department found that space in
Old North, UCO's first building completed in 1893, and home for all courses at the Territorial Normal School. The business department moved to the old Administration Building, also known as the South Building, in 1904, its home for the next 58 years. In December 1960, The Vista reported business majors accounted for 26 percent of the total enrollment. In the 1961-62 school year, 1,114 students were business majors. The Business Building was built in
1962 at a total cost of $550,494. Originally, the two buildings contained the business and science departments. Business North housed the business department. It had 13 classrooms and business laboratories, faculty lounge, conference room and offices, reported the Edmond Booster Jan. 11, 1962. The building area totaled 25,000 square feet. Business South, totaling 15,000 square feet, contained the mathematics department with 11 classrooms, a library, seminar room, lounge and offices, reported the Oklahoma City
Times on March 30, 1962. It was after the completion of the Math and Computer Science Building in 1983, when the Business Department expanded into the old Math Building. As a result, the name changed from Math and Business Building to Business North and Business South. In four days, the renovation of the Business Building will be complete with a dedication ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer

Staff Writer 'm back after a week hiatus (not me, the column) and here with another quality website that you will like. What I have for you is something along the lines of U.S. News and World Report meets Spin. It's called JournalX and it is another in the growing list of webzines, mini-magazines published on the World Wide Web. As you may or may not know, I reviewed another webzine by the name of Blair (www.blairmag.com ). JournalX is nothing like Blair, which is geared for a younger crowd. I'll let Kevin Bertram, editor-in-chief, tell the rest of the story about JournalX. Here's the deal with JournalX: JournalX's first publication date was Feb. 10, and we publish every Monday. The target audience is pretty obvious. I want JournalX to either (1) make me lots of money (extremely doubtful) or (2) get me and some of the writers cushy highpaying jobs (almost as doubtful as #1).

Actually, I would like it to grow in size and scope, but we'll see what happens. I'm not sure if there's an editorial concept. We're all over the place in terms of ideology. The staff is me (Kevin), three former debate partners, a fiancee,an exgirlfriend, a buddy from high school, a fellow employee of one the former debate partners, and some damn Canadian. I do all the HTML work, and Shane Ham, Eileen Muldowney and I do all the editing. We're based in Vienna, Virginia (suburb of D.C.), because I attend graduate school at George Washington University. However, we have a strong Arizona flavor. I did my undergrad work at Arizona. Shane Ham, an assistant editor, has a B.A. from Arizona and now works in D.C. Eileen Muldowney, the other assistant editor, has a B.A. from Arizona and lives in Vienna. Becky Dudzik is a grad student at New York University, but her undergrad was at
Arizona. Art Gillespie went to high school in Arizona with me, Shane, Eileen and Becky. Matt Thrasher is an undergrad at Occidental College in Los Angeles, but went to high school in Tucson. Karl Filippini has a B.A. from Arizona and coaches high school debate in Tucson. Brian Markowitz went to some "elite" liberal arts school somewhere here out east. I think he's off to law school next year, but his current employers aren't supposed to know that. Michael Rose lives in Canada and went to film school. We have a feature called "The Big Story" where we feature three to six articles on an issue every other week. Our first big story will be March 17 on environmental politics and policies. The second big story will be on March 31 on campaign finance reform. We might do one March 10 for NCAA basketball tournament picks. We hope to have interns and low level staffers for think tanks and Congressional
offices write some of these articles. We also accept guest columns on the political side of the page and we accept music, movie and game reviews, as well as sports commentary. Oh, the left side of the page is mostly political and the right side is more lifestyle stuff. By the way, have you ever had class with Doug Duke? I remember him judging me in a couple debate rounds and thought he was a real class guy. —Kevin Bertram
editor-in-chief, JournalX.
I'm also going to use this as a cheap plug for my review of the Presidents of the USA show last Thursday. Check it out in the music review of this week's JournalX. It's a little variation from the one here in The Vista. JournalX's website is vvww.journah.com . As always, you can tell me what you can't tell your best friend at: jason@surferdude.com .

F
ourth

"Morning-after" pill gets FDA approval T he "morning-after" pill, or high
doses of birth control medication taken after unprotected sex, is a good way to prevent pregnancy, U.S. health officials said Feb. 24. The announcement is the nation's first acknowledgment of emergency contraception, widely practiced for years by European women who are raped or whose birth control fails.
The Food and Drug Administration urged manufacturers "to make this additional contraceptive option available" and granted approval of "morning-after" doses for six brands now on the market. Planned Parenthood President Gloria Feldt called the FDA's announcement "extremely good news" for American women. "The FDA's blessing will mean that more providers will begin offering this
service to American women, helping thousands of women prevent the need for abortion," she said. While it has been legal for doctors to prescribe the medication, few knew until now which dosages of birth control medication to prescribe. Manufacturers were wary of marketing an emergency contraception for fear of lawsuits. The "morning-after" pill is often
described as the best-kept secret in women's health care because not many women are familiar with the treatment or know where to seek it. The pills must be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex and may cause vomiting and nausea. They prevent pregnancy by stopping fertilization of implantation. —

The job hunter: How to find job fair success By Brian Krueger College Press Service
J
ob fairs are becoming a common means of entry-level recruiting. For the corporate recruiter, it offers an opportunity to reach interviewing terminal velocity—the highest possible number of prospects in the shortest amount of time. And for many students, job fairs offer a "freebie" opportunity to meet with additional hiring companies. However, unless you do your homework ahead of time, you'll end up wasting your time at a job fair. Think of job fairs as the meat markets of the entrylevel job market. The format dictates a set of unique rules and protocols—and if you understand how to effectively work within this system, you can easily double er triple your productivity and effectiveness. Usually a full 50 percent or ;nom of the students attending a job fair are "window shoppers" who are browsing through to see what's available. While this approach may seem valid, take note that job fairs are not a "get acquainted 5:F.:,,sion ' for you to meet companies. Yes, even the two-to-three minute greeting and exchange of sound bites is
considered a true interview. You're being evaluated, whether it's for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. If you're to succeed at a job fair of the `90s, you have to take a very aggressive, yet structured approach. But most students make a major error at job fairs—they get in line. If college provides excellent training for any thing in life, it's standing in lines. Behold the line, stand you in it? No! There is a better way—The Walkabout Technique. Instead of passively getting in the first line you see, you should use the two-step Walkabout Technique. •Walkabout the Job Fair When you first arrive at the job fair, walk about the entire room to get a feel for the layout and where each employer is located. Most job fair rooms are laid out in a "maze format," which requires walking through the maze to see what is on the other side. Survey the area as a military general would in planning a strategy of attack. Know specifically whom you want to talk to and in what order. But be ready to change your plan if long lines suddenly appear in you planned corridor of attack. •Walkabout the Employer Instead of just getting into line, approach the company booth from the
side and quietly pick up one of the slick glossies that are prominently displayed on the table, and then step back a few steps. The reason for this is two-fold: first, you now have in your hands some extremely valuable pre-interview reading material. Second, and most important, you have an opportunity to get a free preview of the employer and the recruiter. How? By staying put four to six feet away and listening. You will be far enough away to be unobtrusive, yet still have access to the conversation that is taking place. Listen to what the recruiter asks. Be prepared to answer the same questions yourself. Listen to the responses. Did the recruiter react positively? Or negatively? Listen to two or three different interviews to compare different responses. If there is more than one recruiter representing the employer, note the styles of each and take your pick of the line behind the one who is the closest fit to your own personality range. If you have done your homework properly, you should be able to determine what the company's needs are and what they are specifically looking for in filling those needs. Ask yourself two questions: 1) Is this something I'm interested in?
2) Am I able to show that I am qualified for the position(s) they are offering? If your answer to either question is "No," then don't waste your time standing in that particular line. If you have an interest in what the company has to offer and you can meet its basic needs, it's time to get in line yourself. Line time is the time to really soak up the information contained in the materials you just snagged from their table. Remember, most people don't get this information until after they have met with the company. Congrats—you've just taken a simple step that will put you a giant step ahead of your peers. You are fully prepared while your competition is wandering aimlessly about, staring blankly into space. When your turn arrives, step up with confidence, introduce yourself, and state succinctly your specific career statement and how it fits in with their needs as an employer. You will truly stand apart from the crowd. ***

A double take on the pros and cons of cloning
I
n a blatant attempt to pull the wool over the public eye, the world of science has proudly announced its . newest baaad ideaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sheep cloning. To begin with, last I heard, the sheep of the world were more than happy to reproduce the same old way as their ancestors. Who needs more sheep anyway? Is there a wool shortage that escaped me? Maybe an epidemic of insomnia? Have the consumers become gluttons for mutton? Well, said Science, it's not sheep we're after, it's cows. If we can clone a sheep, we can clone a cow. We can clone cows that give more and better milk. But don't worry, we'd never clone a person because that
would be unethical, said the scientists. President Clinton echoed their sentiments, telling the country not to expect a penny in federal funding for such shenanigans. I wonder if he'll feel sheepish if a generation from now rich folks go to Mexico for their clones and poor folks have to do without? Boy, am I reassured. Not because of all the promises, but because I know human nature. People are just too weird to be clonable. And if they could clone a sheep, which I doubt, how would they know? On the whole, sheep are a pretty undifferentiated group. I mean, you seen one, you seen 'em all, right? Black noses, two eyes, four
legs, fleece as white as snow, and a propensity for wondering around after school-kids and getting lost pretty well says it all. Nah, I think Science is just looking for a pat on the petri dish. They must be getting pretty sick of sniveling cold sufferers and the doggedly dome-topped begging for a cure they can't produce, so they threw the public a red herring. Not so fast. Pretend for a moment that people (or sheep, or cockroaches) could be cloned. OK, I'm a busy woman, I'll clone myself. Believe me, I'll find a way. Now I can go to my job and to school and my clone, I'll name her Teri, can stay home and clean my house mow the lawn and all, just exactly like I would
if I had the time or inclination. Now, I know me and the first thing I, and therefore Teri, would do is wait until I'd left the house. Then I would go through my closet and put on my favorite jeans and the shirt from Banana Republic that I save back for special occasions. Then I'd eat all the Snickers and M&M's I'd hidden from myself in the freezer. Then I'd take a nap. When I got home, I would find Teri wearing my favorite clothes that had chocolate all over them and there would be a big fight. "Teri, you horrible slob!" (I'm my own worst critic.) "Yea, well, it takes one to know one, so drop the holier than thou stuff. Anyway, I am thou, remember," I'd tell myself,
making me cry and then nothing would get done. No, I just don't have time to be cloned. On the other hand, if Mary had a little lamb, maybe my grass would look better tended.
