or the first time, a UCO Student Government Association (SGA) member has been selected for the Student Advisory Board. Janet Nicholas, member of SGA and the Oklahoma Student Government Association (OSGA), was nominated to the board at OSGA's spring convention held at OU Feb. 28 through March 2. Members of the Advisory Board work on a weekly, sometimes daily, one—to—one basis with the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education on legislation affecting students, said Nicholas. "It is very important to have that connection to the Regents," she said. This is the only advisory board set up by state law, said Keith Weber, UCO president of SGA. One person is selected from OU, OSU, all private universities, and all junior colleges. Two candidates are selected from the six regional universities. For the past two years, Southeastern and Southwestern have been the regional universities with candidates chosen. "SGA now has a better opportunity to express their concern in the inequitably of funding of UCO- as well as other regional colleges," said Nicholas. UCO is the third largest university in the state, with the least funding allowed, said Nicholas. Keith Weber, Dale Archer, Kurt Gariss, and Nicholas made up this year's UCO delegation at the convention. Nicholas was chosen from that group to be UCO's applicant for the Advisory Board. Brian Evans, OSGA president from Southeastern University, was the other delegate selected for the board. Nicholas would like to see the seats on the Advisory Board rotated among the regional universities. "It is my goal to keep future student governments involved in both OSGA and the Student Advisory Board," she said. She plans to propose a statutory mandate to continue to have delegations from UCO attend these events. Nicholas will be sworn in to the Student Advisory Board in May, and will fill that seat for the next year. AD —By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer

y now everyone has probably heard about Bill and Hillary using the White House as a fund raiser for the Democratic party. The Democrats have countered saying the Republicans did the same thing when they had the keys to the Oval Office. Last week the Senate Rules Committee decided to spend $4.3 million and take 10 months to investigate illegal activities that may have happened in the 1996 federal elections. But is that really necessary? The White House has admitted that people stayed in the spare bedrooms, they've even released a list of who stayed in the rooms. (Our President George Nigh was on it, by the way.) Matching that list with the amounts donated to the party shouldn't be difficult. Don't our Congressmen have better ways to spend their time and our money than investigating what happened in the last election? It seems they've already forgotten why we sent them to Washington in the first place—it wasn't to point fingers at the other party. We expected them to put their time and energy into making a difference in the government, not trying to make the other party look bad before the next election. We should remind them what we expect.

KCSC general manager addresses funding issue
J
ust a word or two to address the recent reports of the administration's misunderstanding of KCSC's funding. In terms of dollars, KCSC's budget has more than doubled in the last four years. However, this money comprises various matching equipment grants for extending KCSC's signal to unserved audiences and replacing some very much outdated systems. Distinguished from the above, however, is operating revenue. The purpose of public broadcasting is to provide top quality programming that is not necessarily designed to bring masses of consumers to an advertiser. Public broadcasting produces good programs for their own sake. At KCSC we play the music that has spoken to more than one generation. In the practical world of public broadcasting, there is never enough revenue from any
single source to make ends meet. OETA, now in the midst of their spring fund drive, receives funding, as we do, from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and on-air fundraising, but they could not survive without their annual appropriation from the state legislature. KCSC is one of the major public service arms of UCO. Public service is one of the criteria which distinguishes a "college" from a "university." KCSC is the medium for the fine arts in central Oklahoma serving Oklahoma City's professional and amateur music, dance and theatre companies as well as the many local university and public school fine arts departments and individual listeners. In fact, to over 60,000 people in this area, KCSC is UCO! Our job is to produce and broadcast the best programs and then persuade individuals and businesses to underwrite its
costs. By law we cannot sell commercials. Through the work of six people, UCO now owns over $1 million of broadcasting equipment and enjoys a national reputation. However, just as a university is not its buildings, a radio station is not its tower and transmitter. A university and its radio station are only as good as the people who govern and operate it. KCSC has been forced to live off of its savings the last three years at an average loss of $26,000 per year. KCSC has savings? Yes. Have you priced a new transmitter lately? It can't last. What good will KCSC be without its programs or anyone to operate it? What would Oklahoma City be like without it? —Bradford Ferguson General Manager, KCSC

Committee to review technology advances University department By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer
T
echnology and its ramifications in UCO classrooms was discussed at the March 6 Faculty Senate meeting. Dr. Stephen Law, professor of humanities and philosophy, said he was working with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education on what technological advances would take place next year at Oklahoma universities. "We have been given one and apparently only one opportunity for input on a major technological thrust which has been endorsed by the Regents," Law said. A retreat by the Regents in June will layout a plan for technology in the state of Oklahoma, he said. The faculty advisory committee has been asked for a response by May 6. One senator asked if the use of computerized learning would cause less of a need for faculty at universities. Law said he did not see that happening, faculty would still be needed to help students. "We will be the teaching assistants of the future," he said. Concern for traditional students who may need the socialization that won't come with computer-aided classes was discussed. Although there was no real answer to the question, Law said non-traditional students would benefit more than traditional students from the technology.
Law said he is planning to visit out-of-state universities where the campus is almost totally computerized. Several senators said they were worried computerized courses would make it difficult for professors to know if the work the student turned in was really their own. Law said universities that have computerized classrooms have teachers in them and as for distance learning they make it mandatory for students to take the final on campus. Mentoring and letters of recommendation were also of concern to the senate. Some members said they were worried about the lack of the human factor in education with the advances in technology. It was brought to Law's attention that professors who usually send out letters of recommendation for their students would be less likely to do so, since they may not know the student personally and only relate to them by the computer. One senator suggested the benefits to students working together on projects and getting different ideas could not happen if the classrooms were totally computerized. Senators discussed how certain classes dealing with highly emotional subjects might have a problem going to a computerized classroom. Law said he would like to hear any questions, concerns or ideas from faculty members on campus before the May deadline. Faculty members can reach Law at 341-2980, Ext. 5615.
relocations delayed by continued construction T
he Murrah Building bombing„ building design changes and some surprise underground pipes around the University Center are responsible for the one-and-a-half-year delay in completion of UCO's master building plan. This has, in turn, postponed the departmental moves. I planned to have everything completed in four years, but now it will be completed in five and a half years, said Nigh. The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building caused delays in getting glass, steelworkers and bricklayers. And when a design is changed it puts back completion six months, he said. Steve Kreidler, executive director of the Edmond Economic Development Authority said UCO's situation is not unique. "Almost every construction project going on, both in a private and public sector, is behind schedule because they're having trouble finding workers." The scheduled departmental moves such as financial aid, the communications office and enrollment, have been postponed because of building delays, Nigh said. If one building is not complete, the domino effect can not occur, he said. "The basic rule, I feel, is everybody stays where they are until further notice," he said. "The knowledge you have of existing facilities is where they will be." —By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer

UCO software purchase provides students free `Lotus' programs By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer
S
tudents, faculty and staff can write letters, create databases, build spreadsheets and construct daily planners on their home computers as well as campus computers, thanks to the student technology fee. The Student Technology Fee Committee, made up of students and faculty, voted to use the $4 per-credit-hour fee to purchase an annual license authorizing the use of 'Lotus Total Campus Option,' said Dr. William Morey, associate professor of decision sciences, and member of the technology fee committee. The total cost of the software license was $49,700, said Sharon Martin, budget director. Student technology fees paid for $45,000, and the other $4,700 was paid from the operating budget. A three-year license was purchased last January, said Morey. `Lotus SmartSuite' for
Windows includes Lotus Notes, CC Mail, wordprocessing, a data base and spreadsheets. It also includes personal productivity, allowing items such as calenders and address books to be created. Although the software is free, it takes approximately 35 disks to copy it from the UCO website. However, the University Bookstore will sell the CD-ROM for $19.95 from March 24-May 13. After May 13 the price will be $23.95, said Art Robinson, director of the University Center. Before this contract, the bookstore sold the software at an educational discount rate of approximately $150, he said. `Lotus SmartSuite' gives students software for their home computer virtually for free, said student Derrek Belase, technology fee committee member.

National company seeks seniors for management jobs By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer Enterprise Rent-a-Car will be conducting a national job search at UCO March 12. From 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Enterprise representatives will be on the first floor of the Business Building. Jackie Durant, of the College of Business, said the company is conducting
a national search for employees and are looking for high-energy people. Dan King, human resources regional supervisor at Enterprise, said the company chose UCO because they have hired UCO graduates who have been very successful. Company growth has created 30 manager-trainee positions that will be filled within the next six months, King said.
"We are opening companies outside the United States and many of our managers are going to work at those companies, so we must replace the ones leaving the United States," he said. Managers are taught from the ground up everything about the company so they will be able to run a branch, he said. Durant said Enterprise wants to talk to graduating seniors, but underclassmen
should also attend. "It's a good way to network... get to know what they are looking for in an employee," she said. Students can register for prizes given away thoughout the day by Enterprise. Durant said she hopes Enterprise coming to UCO for an employee search will entice other companies to do the same.

3rd place (Monochrome): By Janalee Sullivan
ix UCO students won cash prizes totaling $750 in two photo contests sponsored by President George Nigh.
Kathleen Hardy, senior psychology major, won the David Fitzgerald Scholarship. Beginning funds for the scholarship were put up by Nigh, said Dr. Woody Gaddis, professor of journalism. Gaddis said some of the proceeds from David Fitzgerald's Oklahoma II book, will partially endow the fund. Fitzgerald is a noted Oklahoma commercial and landscape photographer. Winners of the Campus-Wide Photography Contest were John Eagleston, Brandon Snider, Jaconna Aguirre, Meredith Jordan and Janalee Sullivan. Gaddis said "the purpose of these contests is to recognize the talented students that we have. The president wanted to help with this by holding a campus-wide contest." After the photos are mounted and framed, they will be on display in the Donna Nigh Gallery. Copies of Oklahoma II are available there as well, said Gaddis. —By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

State set the tone early in the first half using a 7-0 run in 1:30 putting them up 17-9 with 15:00 left in the first half. Central then countered with a 19-9 run in the next 5:30 giving Central their first lead in the game 28-26 with 9:30 left in the first half. State then used another 7-0 run in the
last 3:19 of the half putting them up 4237 at the half. Alex Salazar had the hot hand for State in the first half going 6-7 from the field for 12 points. Salazar also had nine rebounds in just 12 minutes of action in the first half. Broncho Tyrone Hopkins struggled from the field in the first half shooting only 2-11 from the field, but was 7-7 from the foul stripe finishing the half with 11 points and six boards. State shot 52 percent from the field in the first half. Central shot only 38 percent in the first half. State came out on fire in the second
half and with 12:52 left in the game a jumper by State's Marc Eddington gave them their biggest lead of the game 14 points (62-48). Eddington led State with 23 points;Salazar had a double-double with 22 points and 16 boards. The closest the Bronchos would get came with just 0:24 left in the game when David Factor hit a 3-pointer cutting the lead to four points. Broncho David Factor then fouled Eddington with 0:23 left sending him to the stripe for a one-and-one. Eddington clinched the upset hitting both free throws and sending Pittsburg

State to the regional final with a 90-84 win. State shot a sparkling 54 percent from the floor. Central finished the game shooting 40 percent from the floor. In his final game in a Broncho uniform Hopkins scored 26 points (hitting on 1415 from the foul stripe) and pulled down 15 boards. Senior Mack Tuck scored 22 points for Central. Even with the Central loss the Lone Star Conference will still be represented in the Elite 8 as Texas A&M Commerce defeated Pittsburg State 89-83 in the South Central Regional Final.

Honor society recognizes science teachers By Jason A. Hill Staff Writer
A
UCO professor and a Moore High School teacher were honored March 7 by the UCO chapter of Sigma Xi, the national honor society for math, science and engineering students. Dr. David Elmendorf, UCO assistant professor of biology, and Valerie Furguson, a Moore High School chemistry teacher, received the' "Distinguished Researcher Award" and "Distinguished High School Teacher Award," respectively. Dr. John Guthrie, assistant professor of physics, said the organization gives the awards to teachers who have given service beyond what is expected, have evidence of continued education and
sponsor student organizations. Guthrie also said innovation in the classroom is a factor in which both Elmendorf and Ferguson excel. "He (Elmendorf) is dedicated to his students. He trains them well enough to stand on their own," said Guthrie. Elmendorf has guided environmental microbiology research projects following the Exxon Valdez oil spill as a post-doctoral fellow at Exxon. While at Exxon, Elmendorf dealt with the process of bioremediation, in which a catalyst is added to a contaminated site, like the Valdez spill, to help microorganisms degrade the contaminant substance quicker. "Exxon was a good experience...We tend to look at Exxon and think, 'What an evil company. Why didn't they
prevent this?"' said Elmendorf. He says the public is as much to blame as Exxon, "As long as we buy the products, they'll make them. We're partly responsible for what's happened. "If we are conserving, recycling, reusing, we shouldn't require transportation for all this crude oil." Elmendorf said he is happy to be honored by Sigma Xi, "It tells me my peers recognize what I'm doing. I appreciate it." Guthrie said Ferguson is using innovation in high school classrooms, "She uses polymers, long-chain molecules, to draw students into what's going on in chemistry today." Guthrie went on to say, "If you go to Exxon labs or Dupont labs, that is what's going on there."
Options available for obtaining grades Students will have several options in accessing their midterm grades when they become available Wednesday. • Students can call l-800-599---2144 by touch-tone phone. • Grades will be available on the internet at wvvvv.getgraclescona, • For the first time, midterm grades will also be on the information terminals in either wing of the Administration Building. To access grades by any of these means, students need to know their social security number and their six-digit personal identification nuitlaer (PIN). A student's PIN number is the six digits in their birthdate unless they have changed it through the system. Students can change their PIN number to a more personal number at the terminals in the Administration Building. —By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer

Groups launch enterprise program to educate, inspire elementary students
A
third-grade class at a local elementary school received a small lesson on the function of a city from two UCO students when Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) joined Junior Achievement to educate young children on free enterprise. Ms. Carol Javorsky's third-grade class at Edmond's John Ross Elementary school began their first of five sessions on Junior Achievement March 4. "How many of you guys want to go to college?" said Heather Weber, Junior Achievement consultant. In unison, 20 hands raised and small voices cried "me, me." Junior Achievement's mission is to educate and inspire young people to value free enterprises, understand business and economics and be workforce ready, said Ella Sprung, director of operations of Junior Achievement of Greater Oklahoma City, Inc. The program is for children in kindergarten to the sixth grade. Each grade studies different categories of free enterprise. "What is Edmond?" Weber asked the students. "A suburb," said one third-grade boy. "A city," said a little girl. "Right, and today we are going to talk about what a city is," said Weber. Weber and Shannon Pratt are team partners for two third grade classes. The consultants' lesson plan for the day was to make the children aware of the definition of a city, people who run or maintain a city and the different zones of a city. Behind the two UCO students hung a map with different colored blocks representing residential, industrial, recreational and farming zones. "What is this blue zone right here?" said Pratt, pointing to one of the blue squares on the map. Residential, said one child recognizing the corresponding color on the key. The session ended with a writing exercise on zones. SIFE will submit a written report on the Junior Achievement project in the overall category of a regional contest in April. os

Three ways to beat the high cost of college. 1.The Montgomery GI Bill 2. Student loan repayment 3.Pad-time Income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with up to $7,124 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training. Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you'll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give us a call:
