AAUP lobbies state regents for more funds By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
COMPARISION OF PER STUDENT FUNDING (STATE APPROPRIATIONS, TUITION AND FEES) Poor Institutions vs. Oklahoma Institutions Fiscal Year 1998
"UCO doesn't receive enough funding from the state," is a statement heard over and over again when faculty are denied raises, classes are cut or building maintenance is lacking. UCO leaders are lobbying the legislature this spring to change that statement. At an American Association of University Professors (AAUP) executive meeting Friday, faculty members brainstormed strategies to appeal to the higher regents for "a bigger piece of the pie." "We need a bigger pie for higher education, from all of the state money. Then hopefully we can get a larger piece of the pie for UCO," said Ed Cunliff, director of institutional research and planning for UCO. The money for higher education is allocated to the state regents for higher education and then they divvy it up, said Cunliff. Several years ago the regents devised a formula which advocated that student tuition provide an average percentage of the total cost of education and general expenses for the institution. UCO
students exceed that average percentage. "Their proportion of the total E&G (education and general expenditures) at UCO is well past the goal the regents set of 33 percent," Cunliff said. "All students throughout the state would contribute 33 percent (of the institution's costs). We're paying 38 percent—estimated," he said. And UCO students paying more than other students is not a new phenomenon.
Sharon Martin, director of budget for UCO, said that in 1988-89, UCO students were paying 30.3 percent of the total costs while the state average was 25.9 percent and the next highest was 26.7 percent. Higher education in Oklahoma receives less in state appropriations and tuition than other comparable universities across the nation. Oklahoma universities
UCO's search for business dean ruffles feathers with faulty ad wording By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer The classified ad that ran in The Sunday Oklahoman on Feb. 25 announced the search for the new dean of UCO's College of
Business Administration. But unfair requirements in the job description have prompted an eleventh hour revision, said Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs. The ad took a space of only
1.25 by 1.7 inches to list requirements for the new dean. But that space, about twice the size of a postage stamp, managed to exclude all but one likely candidate from UCO, said V See DEAN, Page 5
receive an average of $4,455 per student, while the nationwide average is $7,850. That's 42 percent lower than the national average and it's dropping every year. During the 1993 fiscal year, the Oklahoma average was 34 percent lower than the national average. UCO is also under-funded in several other areas including: 'Teacher education program committee travel allocations (the funding in this area was $2,256 per committee in 1982 versus $857 per committee in 1995). 'Capital bonds funds for operational costs (this funding is based on projects funded by legislative bond issues, but UCO's current construction is funded by UCO bonds, therefore most improvements don't qualify for operational cost support from the legislature). 'Section 13 funding and section 13 offset funding (oil and gas revenues from every 13 section go to higher education) for UCO is lower than any other institution's. Additional institutions have been added to the Section 13 pool, so a Section 13 offset pool was added. UCO's per VSee AAUP, Page 5

Of kings, knights and food fights
M
ost of us are familiar with the legend of King Arthur and his court, but in a lesser known kingdom there presides a lesser known court, staffed by lesser known royalty that one may find strangely familiar. The king of this court, a rotund little figure called Chameleon, decides one day to have a round table discussion on issues that are plaguing his kingdom, and so called his subjects to him. No sooner have all his men gathered together, fully adorned in their metal suits in preparation of war, than insults begin to fly. One knight pokes unkindly at the kinks in another's armor and scoffs, "Get rid of your red plaid armor, for God's sake! It is an embarrassment to us all and what we stand for. And that bloody Irish-tainted accent! Speak like an Anglo-Saxon, even if you can't behave like one." "Well, at least I don't go around cruxifying everyone who does not see things my way," retorts the other. "What I'd really like to know is—what do you do with the white fabric you have? Punch holes in it and wear it over your head?" "I'm only doing God's work," protests the first. With a pained mytred expression, he thumps heavily on his chest and faces heavenward, "He warned us, He did. That those who do His work will be persecuted by the godless." "Even the devil quotes the Scriptures for his own means," mutters the court jester, a wise old dude who knows more than he lets up. "I beg your pardon? Who is the antichrist who said that?" the knight wheels around defiantly to face the enemy. "Come now, brothers. Don't be like this," said an aging knight in an armor suit that has begun to betray some rust. "You should talk! For someone who's living beyond the biblical three score years and 10, you're already on borrowed time." "Can we return to what we actually came here for," asks a nearsighted, almost peevish-looking knight as he squints at his peers. "By the way, what did we come here for?" The rest jumped on him and bellowed, "You, who bought your knighthood with dirty money, aren't even fit to address us. Get back to your seat!" And someone grabs a turkey drumstick and flings it at someone else, and a full-fledged food fight begins. The sage old court jester observes the scene and shakes his head in disgust. "If brevity is the soul of wit, these jokers must be among the world's witless." 4

Late time cards may leave UCO workers short of cash By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
UCO employees who don't turn their time cards in on time could be in for a rude shock. Jonathan Leonard, a student worker in the chemistry lab, found his paycheck for the time he worked in December 1995 to be 33 percent less than usual— and it all went to taxes. Leonard forgot to complete his time card after finals week last semester, so it went in with the January 1996 time cards. Those hours fall into the category of "supplemental pay," said Charles Johnson, assistant vice president for administration who oversees payroll.
"Something that happened in the past, in a prior pay period, is considered additional pay outside this pay period," he said. It is important to keep an accurate record of when an employee worked and not put all the hours together into the same month, Johnson added. Under the current application of internal revenue service guidelines, those wages are taxed at a flat rate, currently 28 percent
for federal and 5 percent for state, Johnson said. "The decision was made to adopt a flat rate method some time ago...the decision was based primarily on additional pay, not (on) late student payroll," he said. David Stell, public affairs officer for the IRS, said there is nothing illegal about withholding tax in that manner. Johnson explained that the tax
withholding is not designed to be a penalty situation for those who don't turn in their time cards on time, it's just the application of the tax laws. He is exploring the possibilities of using other IRS guidelines to determine withholdings on supplemental income, using tax tables rather than a flat rate. "We want to satisfy the law...when we make decisions on
alternate ways to do it, we want to try to do it in a serving way to all employees," Johnson said. "If it (an alternative method) works out, we should implement it by the next pay period." He said this situation doesn't come up very often. "Percentage wise, it's a very small number, but if one falls into that category we need to be worried about it if it's one person or a thousand," Johnson said. 4

or fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we 1: recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are tax-deferred annuities designed to help build additional assets—money that can help make the difference between living and living well after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pretax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on federal and, in most cases, state and local income taxes right away. What's more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax-deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year.
As the nation's largest retirement system, based on assets under management, we offer a wide range of allocation choices — from the TIAA Traditional Annuity, which guarantees principal and interest (backed by the company's claims-paying ability), to TIAA-CREF's diversified variable annuity accounts. And our expenses are very low,* which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health. To find out more, call 1 800 842 2888. We'll send you a complete SRA information kit, plus a free slide calculator that shows you how much SRAs can lower your taxes. Call today—it couldn't hurt. -

DEAN continued from front page
Dr Tom Guild, professor of law from the college of business. The ad stated that a "Business related Ph.D. or DBA (is) required... Previous experience as college dean or chair required." Guild said that language would reduce the pool of applicants for the job. Jacob said "When we looked at it (the ad), we it would make more sense to change it." The changes would include rewording the ad to read "earned doctorate," he said. But he did not know at press time if the new ad would do away with the requirement for previous dean experience. He said he would make that information available to The Vista as soon as it became available. Jacob also said he hopes the new ad will be ready to submit in time for this Sunday's publication. "It was not our intent to exclude anyone," he said. "It was just a simple error.," Jacob said when it was brought to Dr. Mike Shirley's, faculty/ administration liaison's, attention that some faculty objected,they went to work on the revision. But some faculty members think the "error" may not be that innocent. "The job description seems to be tailored to a particular candidate for the job," said Guild. "It seems to fit the current interim dean (Dr. Joe) Johnson." He said Johnson, interim dean since June of 1995, is the only candidate who held the right kind of doctorate degree (business related Ph.D. or DBA) and the required previous experience as a dean or department chair.

professor of management said "This is a chicken and egg problem. In order to be a dean you have to be a dean already." Farr is also concerned that the salary of $65,000 to $70,000 per year offered for the position is too low to attract top people from the university. Guild said, "This job description is not only discriminatory, but is likely illegal as well." He sites Public Law 3223 which decrees "Hours taken to earn a Juris Doctorate or equivalent degree... shall be classified as graduate hours in the teaching field." The law further states that to exclude the JD applicant from consideration for a position in . which he or she would receive a higher salary or benefits is prohibited. The salary for the dean is $11,000 to $16,000 more than a professor at UCO would make , said Guild. Johnson said he had not applied for the position, but was considering it."To my knowledge there are no candidates," he said. He said his only concern with the Feb. 25 ad was that "by listing some degrees and not others, the potential pool of applicants is reduced. Johnson said he thought the vice president of academic affairs was responsible for writing the job description, and along with the president of the university would pick the new dean. "If it fits, (a particular person) then its something beyond my control," he said. Jacob said "TInte may be people out there making an issue (out of the ad) when there is not an issue. What I want more than anything else is to be inclusive and not exclusive."

The Central Oklahoma softball team converted nine fielding errors into eight unearned runs, including seven in one inning to defeat Moorhead State 1-0 in eight innnings and Northern State 100 Tuesday afternoon at the UCO softball field. UCO posted shutouts of both teams as Lawanda Worthy scattered eight hits over eight innings against MSU and Stacey Dannels allowed only two hits in five innings vs. NSU. While Worthy kept MSU scoreless, the Lady Dragons' Jennifer Bagley, who allowed only one hit and struck out eleven batters, shut out the Lady Bronchos through seven innings. In the eighth inning UCO centerfielder Kathy Wilkerson grounded the ball to Bagley, but the Lady Dragon pitcher threw wildly to first to attempt to get the out. Lady Broncho Marina Cook went home on the error to give Worthy her first victory of the season in four starts. "I think (MSU) had a pitcher who was pretty dominant," said Gerry Pinkston, whose team improved to 4-3. "I didn't think either of those teams were goodfielding teams, so I knew if we could hit (off) their pitcher we'd be okay, but we couldn't hit her
(pitches)." The UCO bats came alive in the next game as the Lady Bronchos collected nine hits in four innings of play. Plagued by big innings in other games this Kathy Wilkerson season, U C 0 reversed those fortunes by romping to an eight-run third inning against NSU. Lady Bronchos Chasidy Horton and Ericka Stout started off the outburst by hitting singles. Then NSU pitcher Brenda Trager committed an error to score a run. UCO first baseman Lisa McCormick punched out an RBI double, and then Dannels slapped a two-RBI double to left to blow open the game at 70. Then Shawna Armstrong, Wilkerson and Horton each pounded out RBI singles to finish off the Lady Wolves and to make the score 10-0. "Finally I think they just got their confidence back and are putting
things together for the most part," Pinkston said of the big inning. "I was pleased that we didn't get down on ourselves after that first game. "My team was getting very frustrated batting, but one of the most frustrating things is we face so many different-speed pitchers. We've got to overcome that and adjust our hitting to any pitcher." Dannels, who now has three of UCO's victories, kept her record perfect against NSU. The Lady Bronchos will be playing in the Missouri Southern Invitational this weekend. UCO is scheduled to open with South Dakota. They will also play against Augustana (Ill.) and Central Missouri State. CMSU won two earlier meetings with the Lady Bronchos in the UCO Invitational, 9-1 and 5-2.

UCO wrestlers looking for fifth straight title By Jeff Packham Sports Editor The UCO wrestling team could run into some stiff competition when they compete in the Division II championships in Greeley, Colo. March 15-16. A recent poll (for complete poll, see page eight) showed the Bronchos still holding down the top spot, a position they've been in since Jan. 27, 1993. However, second-ranked Nebraska-Omaha came close to toppling UCO in the regular season finale (losing only 23-18 at Hamilton Field House) and third-ranked PittsburghJohnstown qualified their entire team (including three ranked number-one in his respective weight division) for the
championships. No other team qualified more than seven wrestlers. UC0 has three wrestlers ranked first in their respective weight classes. They are Keith Kizarr at Shawn Bateman 1 1 8 pounds, Jerry Best at 142 pounds and Shawn Bateman at 150 pounds.

Tennis teams sweep NE Missouri By Jeff Packham Sports Editor The UCO tennis teams swept their matches with Northeast Missouri State Monday, with the men winning 7-0 and the women winning 4-3. For the men's team, each of the Bronchos won in straight sets, with Charles Bornman setting the pace with a 6-2 6-0 victory. Junior Brown followed up with a 6-1 6-0 win, and Alan Harris pulled out a 6-3 6-3 victory. Matthew Thompson, Steve Lynam and Thomas Park then scored victories in singles for UCO. The Bronchos also dominated the doubles matches. Bornman and Brown combined for an 8-1 win, Harris and Lynam won 8-5 and Park and Thompson tallied an 8-0 defeat of NEMSU. The Lady Bronchos bounced back from a season-opening loss to hand NEMSU the defeat as Jana Vnouckova started off with a 6-4 6-4 win.
Andrea Bailey defaulted with an injury, giving UCO a defeat in number-two singles. The Lady Bronchos also lost the next match, with Shelby McGaughey losing 6-4 6-4.

83-year-old transvestite shares insight on sex, gender, humanity By Paul Eddy Staff Writer
UCO's Pegasus Theater doors were opened last week to Virginia Prince, an 83-year-old male who has lived the past 28 years as a woman. For more than an hour, Prince, an internationally known authority on transvestitism, lectured on sex and gender to a small gathering. Prince's continual message was one of concern about gender prejudice among children. He Dr. Virginia Prince from Los Angeles speaks to students in Dr said a child's potential is often Louis Irving's sociology class about sex and gender cut short by society because of their gender. differences Monday. (Staff photo by Laurette Graham)
"Sex is between your legs, gender is between your ears," he said. Most animals have no concept of gender, Prince said. Males and females act pretty much alike until time for reproduction. However, when a human child is born the parents immediately start structuring it into the appropriate gender type, he said. At the age of 83, Prince plans
to continue life as a woman. He stated that he is not a homosexual and therefore does not pursue intimate relations with males. "The world is becoming more open," (towards alternative lifestyles) Prince said. He said that living as a woman has allowed him to express the feminine side which most men have to suppress.

Reserve your résumé space for important information
N
early everyone agrees that educational and work experience should be included on résumés, but many are split on grades and objective statements. Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS), said "every company is different, some put a lot of stock in GPA (grade point average), others think what you've done is more important." Her advice: "only put it if it would serve you well to put it." If your grade point is low, leave it off, if the company cares about it, they'll ask. Andrew Bunce of Northwestern Mutual Life said whether to include a GPA depends on what job an applicant is applying for "a 2.7 in a sales position isn't bad if you're involved in a lot of activities, but a 2.7 if you're an accounting major is not good." Jodie Long of Donrey Media said a GPA should be included on a résumé. She also said that activities and experience can help to balance a low grade point. Gage prefers a profile or summary statement to an objective on a résumé. "Objectives are very subjective and it's tough to write the perfect one." A profile is a concise and articulate summary of an applicant's skills—it tells the company "here's what I can do for you," Gage said. Bunce thinks the objective statement on the résumé should be "what you want from a job." Long said the objective statement should be as specific as possible, telling her exactly what position an applicant is seeking. 4

Good résumés can be graduates' keys By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer This is the second story in a series on employment. Résumés can be the tool that gets one's foot in the door. "The résumé only gets you the interview—it never gets you the job," said Jean Ashworth, an associate with Career Management Services. Career Management Services prepares résumés by having applicants fill out a résumé worksheet questionnaire which asks about employment background, education and extracurricular activities. The student rate for this service is $25. UCO's Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS) offers the same service for $15. In addition, CD&PS will send the résumé to companies
registered with the university. When writing a résumé, it's important to understand what a résumé does, said Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of CD&PS. "It provides information on education and work background—it's your skills set to answer the employer's question: 'Can this person fill the need I have?" she said. Gage said there are three important things to remember when writing a résumé: • content • visually pleasing • avoid errors For content, be sure to include education and experience and make it count. "You have one or two pages to tell the company about your life," Gage said. To make the résumé visually pleasing, make use of white space (too much print, on a page can make it intimidating), use
bullets to break up the text, and line up the margins so the page looks neat. Avoiding errors means that one checks for typing and spelling errors. "It takes a little work and effort to make a good résumé," Gage said. Students can make a draft and bring it to a counselor at CD&PS for an individual critique, she said. Andrew Bunce, field director for Northwestern Mutual Life, said that more important than what's on the résumé is who referred it to him. A flat résumé might carry more weight if it was given to him by someone he knew and respected. "Gone are the days when you mail out 10 résumés a week and get a job," he said. Jodie Long, manager of recruitment and placement for Donrey Media group, said she
likes résumés that are simple. One page is better, but two is the maximum length. Long works at Donrey's corporate headquarters and faxes the résumés out to the other outlets. Because of this, it's important that the résumé be on white paper and printed in black ink, she said. Students wanting more information on writing résumés should attend CD&PS's résumé writing session 1:30 p.m. April 2 in Room 315 of the University Center. The seminar is 30 minutes long and will cover "everything from A to Z," said Gage.

Answers sought on State Question 669 By Jessica Halliburton
Staff Writer
•
significantly to the Prop onents and opponents of proposed funding n for higher education iin Oklahoma. "However, she said that since tax legislation seek support from voters property taxes do help fund
Leaders for and against State Question 669 itemized their positions as voters prepare to go to the polls to decide if a vote of the people should be required to raise property taxes. Proponents and opponents on the issue made the following points either for or against the question: Jack Edens, spokesman for the Tax Reform group, made the following arguments on behalf of the bill: • Edens said right now Olkahomans have a system where property taxes are automatically increased by property evaluation. "This is grossly unfair because that is a tax on unrealized gain. In other words, the fact that the assessor might tell you your property is worth more, that doesn't mean you have any more money to pay," he said. "You could have had zero income this year, yet your taxes may go up. That is what is fundamentally wrong with property taxes. "They (property taxes) are inherently unfair because they are unrelated to one's ability to pay. At least with income tax, the more income you make, the more you pay. With sales tax, the more you spend, the higher your tax will be," Edens said. • In a nutshell, SQ 669 says, from now on there will be no automatic increases, he said. Three types of automatic increases are: 1) The assessor says one's property is worth more. 2) The assessor increases the assessment ratio. 3) The State Equalization Board has the right to raise the assessment ratio to 35 percent. Edens said under SQ 669, every way to increase property taxes by a vote of the people remain. "With 60 percent approval of the voters, there can be an annual property tax increase up to 3 percent," said Edens. • Edens said the annual percentage of property taxes going towards funding education was .96 percent every year from 1988 to 1994.
"That grossly overexaggerates the impact on schools because no one knows for sure what part of that .96 percent came from new growth, such as new homes and additions to existing property, which were all added in to that .96 percent," he said. "School budgets are between 60 and 70 percent provided not by property taxes, but rather by direct appropriation by the state of Oklahoma. "Generally as an average, the impact on schools total would be .6 percent. It is hard for me to believe that a less-thanone-percent hit is going to be a disaster
for a school district," said Edens. • "But even if the voters of a school district feel it is unnecessary and they wish to increase school funding, they can still vote on millage or bond issues." "If the people think that the minimal cut is unwise they have every right to remedy it with property tax increases." • Sherri Hale, budget analyst of the Office of State Finance, said funding of property taxes does not contribute
common education and vo-tech, any decline in that funding could impact higher education as well. Hale said that for the fiscal year of 1995, higher education received approximately $16.1 million in property tax funds. This total breaks down into $1.4 million for Oklahoma City Community College, $300,000 for Rose State College, and $14.4 million for Tulsa Junior College. Overall, the total cost of education operations for 1995 was $1.335 billion, and property tax funding amounted to 1.2 percent of that total, said Hale. • Lisa Yates of the Oklahoma Association of Realtors made the following statements in opposition to SQ 669: •She said there is a lot more to SQ 669 than meets the eye. "If this thing passes, a new section will be added to the constitution. There's no undoing the mistake," said Yates. • She said because SQ 669 puts no property tax limit on homes or businesses bought or built after Dec. 31, 1993, the freeze only applies to those owning homes or businesses the day the question is voted on. "If you decide to buy a home after that, you're just out of luck," she said. "It hurts a lot of young people wanting to buy homes and start their families," Yates said. •"The bottom line here is it's just not fair. Why should one neighbor have to pay higher taxes than another even if their homes are the same value? It makes no sense," she said. • "And companies with potential jobs are sure not going to want to come here when they have to pay higher property taxes than their competition," Yates said. • Yates said if SQ 669 passes, the general majority vote required will change from the existing 50 to a 60 percent vote. This means that a 40 percent voting minority could decide on an issues dealing with property taxes, she said. • SQ 669 goes to vote March 12.

Alumnus claims student services need attitude adjustment was glad to see the story about the Financial Aid Department. All I could think was, "It's about time." The down side of it was that the Financial Aid Department had the same attitude as before, which they would not acknowledge the problems but even going further as to place the
blame on the students.. I can see that NOTHING has changed after I left (and the alumni wonder why I am not interested in joining or putting more of my money into college). I fought the administration of UCO the entire time I was there and got nowhere, oh, they would give me lip service to get me to
go away. I have had other students tell me about problems that they have had, not only with Financial Aid but with Housing, Auxiliary Services, getting them to comply with the American Disability Act, and the campus police. I even know of one student who has compiled a file on some of the things that have
been as well as NOT been done. She has gone so far as to contact her senator to get help and make UCO comply with the law. To this end, I feel that an audit is not enough. That is what that's needed is a full scale GRAND JURY investigation into not only Financial Aid but the entire colleges administration. In fact, I
would be more than willing to start the petition to a Grand Jury look into the college if I could get enough response from other students to make the effort worthwhile. I look forward to hearing what other students have to say. —E. L. Porter UCO alumnus
Student says school lessons leave little room for black history would like to voice a concern for Mr. Jason G. Bryan in regards to his opinions and concerns over Black History Month and Miss Black UCO. First of all, I would like to applaud The Vista for celebrating Black History Month by at least attempting in each issue to acknowledge the fact with an article or articles. Your attempts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Now, Mr. Bryan, you would like to know what purpose Black History Month serves? It is just one month where African American people can celebrate and share their heritage and history which is normally forgotten by the majority of people the rest of the year round. Not to say that black history should not be appreciated for the rest of the year, but, more often than not, this is exactly what happens. Yes, we are taught history from kindergarten through college. Yet, whose history are we taught all of those years? I don't know what school you attended, Mr. Bryan, but the
/
history classes I attended never covered much more than a European view of American history. What I know about black history did not come from school. In the classroom, we are taught about slavery. We are taught that Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation to free the slaves. How many times have you heard this? Walk in to almost any history class in our public schools, would you like to place a wager? Now, how many times have you heard that the reason President Lincoln really signed that document was not out of the kindness of his heart for black people, but because he thought it would be beneficial for the economy. Did you also know how many months it took before the news of the document was told to the slaves in the south? Have you ever heard of Juneteenth, Mr. Bryan? Better yet, have you ever attended a Juneteenth celebration, Mr. Bryan? June fifteenth is considered
the black independence day, but if you would look in a history book, you may find that this was not the actual date that the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Mr. Bryan, I did not learn this in any history class, and I seriously doubt that you did either. We are taught what the authors and publishers of the history books want us to be taught. We are taught what the government and school administrations want us to be taught. Tell me, exactly what harm is one month dedicated to European history? When things truly change, let me know, I'll agree wholeheartedly when you say that we don't need a Black History Month. As for Miss Black UCO, Mr. Bryan have you ever noticed the percentage of black people on the UCO campus? Yes, the University may be legally barred from committing acts of discrimination, but let's face reality. What chance does an African American woman have of winning one of these
pageants? Probably about as much of a chance as an international student. In order to do it, let's have one black person enter the pageant and hope that everyone black and maybe a few others will vote for her. Realize that very few people who vote in these pageants actually know the contestants. Realize, also, that we gravitate towards people who are like us and towards who is familiar to us. Not to say that it should be like this, but I'm only being realistic. Also, just for your information, I do believe that you are wrong in your statement that ""Miss Black UCO is an establishment...that discriminates against non-black individuals." Somebody may correct me if I am wrong, but I am fairly sure that I have read that a person does not actually have to be black to enter the pageant for Miss Black UCO. Are you trying to imagine how a white person would feel trying to enter that pageant? Hence, I do believe you've taken your first step to try and fathom what it can feel
like to be black in a majority white community. Yes, black people have been fighting for and gaining equality for many, many years. Yet, we are still far, far away from all people truly being treated equally. Mr. Bryan, Black History Month and Miss Black UCO are two things that are only trying to compensate for what has been lacking in our society for centuries, true equality. No, a lot of banners and little known facts about black inventors and thinkers are not going to change this. Yet, I don't see where these things are helping us regress either, and how you can equate these things with the idea of blacks being forced to sit in the back of a bus is beyond my mind. I must say, only knowing you through what you have written in your letter, it sounds like you need to pay attention to Black History Month more than most people I know. —Denise Thelin UCO student
History, cultural bias require celebrations to uncover truth gnorance has never been attractive and does not look any better on people whose mindset resembles that of Jason Bryan who wrote;, about his disgust of Black History Month and Miss Black UCO. Bryan asked why celebrate Black History Month? There are several reasons why its celebrated but for myself I feel that history courses taught on the grade school and high school level (and beyond) are culturally biased. For instance, Jason Bryan, how many Latino's do
/
you remember studying? To be more precise, how many African Americans do you remember? As an African American let me list for you those I read about in school. I underline "in school" for most of the knowledge I acquired came from home or from going to libraries and reading about them on my own. Okay, my list: Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Web DuBois and Cassius Clay as my textbook called Muhammed Ali.
Why not celebrate Black History Month for once you step into first grade, you are taught about Caucasians. Don't believe me? "See Dick run. See Jane sit." When was Dick or Jane Black, Hispanic, Asian or of any other ethnic group. Bryan also addresses the issue of Miss Black UCO and to that I'd just like to point out Homecoming. Although there are several ethnic groups represented on campus, the Homecoming court consisted of one representation—the Queen
and let's see...which ethnic group did she represent? What is next, you say? I say, why not celebrate Asian month, Latino month or better yet, change the whole education system so that we call all to learn about the uniqueness, heritage and achievements of all ,ethnic groups for more than one month or day in some cases. In conclusion, I'd just like to say that I sit in a class in which a professor compares minorities to Caucasians as if Caucasians, in general, are the model minorities should base themselves upon and
to that professor and others who feel as Bryan does I'd just like to say that Black History Month will continue to be celebrated and maybe you too should join in the celebration. You might learn something. Something you lack—respect for others and tolerance and perhaps you'll gain a little more knowledge so that the next time you use the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. you don't make such a spectacle of yourself. —Dollet Jackson UCO student
