Many international students seeking offcampus jobs are hitting dead ends because of the complicated process their potential employers must go through to hire them. Before last October, international students could only work on-campus. But a bill recently passed by Congress opened up the regular job market to them — with a slew of restrictions attached. First, employers wanting to hire an international student must post their job opening with the state employment office and display a sign on the premises. The job must be available for 60 days before an international student can apply for it, said International Student Representative Jalal Daneshfar. If the job is still open after 60 days, the employer must then complete and mail a form to the Department of Labor (DOL) and the University of Central Oklahoma. UCO then issues a temporary work per-

mit for the employer to use until the DOL sends its approval. Only then can the student be hired. Although many international students have tried to get jobs off-campus, Daneshfar said only a handful have met success. "A lot of them are frustrated because employers don't know the procedure," Daneshfar said. "And employers don't want to go to the trouble of using the employment office because they don't want all kinds of people to apply."

66 Before I told them they'd have to do all the paperwork, they were really interested in hiring me. When I took the paperwork back to them, they did not seem very happy about it. They said they'd call me back, but they never did. —Masako Omoto

UCO international student Masako Omoto said she hoped to get a job at a local restaurant this semester. "Before I told them they'd have to do all

the paperwork, they were really interested in hiring me," said Omoto. "When I took the paperwork back to them, they did not seem very happy about it. They said they'd call me back, but they never did." The problem is partly due to employers being unfamiliar with the new law, Daneshfar said. When confronted with four pages of hiring instructions, some become intimidated. Educating employers should open some doors, said Daneshfar, who plans to contact the Chamber of Commerce and Edmond Employment Office for help in getting the word out. For now, the best way for international students to find off-campus jobs is through the employment office, Daneshfar said. But less than 5 percent of the Edmond Employment Office jobs last more than 60 days, said Edmond Job Service Manager Terry Watson. "We do have internationals coming in,' he said. "But the U.S. citizen should have some preference in getting a job." However, some fast food businesses keen openings listed all the time, Watson said. And minimum wage jobs often last 60 days McDonald's is one employer who is will. ing to make the effort to hire internationals "It's more complicated than hiring a U.S citizen," said McDonald's Personnel Direc. for Robin Golightly. "But it makes sense because it opens up another good pool 6 workers." V

Senate studies policy, health fees, condoms By Sam Powell Staff Writer

The student senate at the University of Central Oklahoma debated proposals Monday to establish a "bad weather" policy, redirect health center fees and install condom machines in university restrooms. A resolution calling for the establishment of a bad weather policy for commuter students was hotly debated after some senators said they felt it would be discriminatory. According to the proposal, any commuter student unable to attend classes because of road conditions could be excused if the situation warrants. One senator said she thought it would work against students who live on campus. But Sharma Williams, one of the resolution's authors, disagreed saying the bill was designed to benefit students who live in outlying areas. "If they can prove that it would be dangerous for them to walk to class, they could be excused," she said. "The reason we wrote this is because it takes something short of a miracle to get this place to close because of weather," Williams said. "People have to take their lives in their hands trying to get here."

The senate voted a lopsided 20-1 to hold the proposal in committee. Of the proposals considered, the one that fueled the most humorous response was a resolution calling for condom machines in university restrooms. The proposal states that the administration should contact an independent company for the purpose of installing condom vending machines m a minimum or one male and one female restroom on each floor in each building. The machines would remain the property of the company and costs of installation could be paid by the company, according to the resolution. A committee to study the proposal was appointed. Also considered by the senate was a proposal for a redirecting of fees paid to the Student Health Center. The bill said the health center is low on funds because the fees students and faculty pay for medications and tests do not go back into the health center budget. The fees go to the general fund and are not directly reallocated to the center. The proposition requests that all fees received by the health center be reallocated into its budget, and the excess sent into the general fund. The bill passed by 23-3. V

Education falling into deeper well

ducation. One of the have-nots. Many are talking about an American society that is quickly changing into a nation of the haves and have-nots. Unfortunately, education is falling deeper and deeper into the well of have-nots. As government officials stumble over each other, searching for a magic formula to revive America's educational system, children are victimized by absurd governmental policies and judgment. Recently, The Daily Oklahoman reported that 83 school districts were being fined a total of $1.6 million in state aid for exceeding limits on the number of students per teacher. Hardest hit was the Tulsa school system, receiving a whopping $588,000 penalty. It is certainly reasonable to assume that smaller classes would benefit the students. Fewer students mean more individual attention from the teacher and more time for the teacher to prepare for classes. What's unreasonable is taking money from a district at a time it is needed most. Thus, the government forces schools to cut their budgets, dig into their reserves or beg the taxpayers for more money in order to correct the problems. All three of these options end up hurting the students the government is supposedly trying to help. Simply put, a decrease in budget means a decrease in supplies and teachers. In a system already ravaged by budget shortfalls, this type of bureaucracy is putting the skids on American education. Still, the State Board of Education irrationally thinks the only other penalty it could inflict would be to close the site down. A better alternative would be to warn the district that is in violation of the policy and give it a designated time in which to rectify the problem. At the end of that period, if the problem had been corrected, or if the district were working diligently to solve it, the penalty wouldn't go into effect. However, if district administrators have obviously not tried to correct the problem, then a penalty, of administrative dismissal, should be implemented. This would penalize those who were at fault, not the students. It is time the state government quit daydreaming about a magic formula and began using its brains. Otherwise, this nation will be producing a generation of educational have-nots.

LETTERS

Imperfect world needs condoms n response to the letter from Michael Ball (Vista Letters, Feb. 20, "Sniveling brats should grow up") In the perfect world, people might assess all risks and repercussions prior to acting. But the world is comprised of humans, and humans tend to react to the moment rather than analyzing it for the potential pitfalls. As much as we might like college women to "keep their legs crossed" and college men to "keep it in their pants," we know that this just is not nor will it be the case.

We know, Mr. Ball, that with or without condoms, your moral standards are going to be violated and that death is now the possible consequence for the violation of those moral standards you wish to impose upon this student body. Death is too high of a price to pay. As a 37-year-old man with two young sons, I would hope that they would always make the right choices. As a former 21-year-old college undergrad, I am realistic enough to know that they won't always make them, and while I do

expect them to take responsibility for their actions, I won't pay your price. Mr. Ball, I might suggest that you make a trip to the Winds or go out of your way to speak to someone who has AIDS. I think you'll discover that you will have a very difficult time looking them in the eye and telling them "if you need to find someone to blame, look in the mirror."

—Robert Dick

UCO grad student

Prof comments on staff pay n interesting article in the Feb. 20, issue of the Vista ("Faculty senate calls for salary changes") indicated a need to enhance the salaries of some faculty positions relative to their experiential areas of training. This letter is my first ever to the Vista. It is not, though, a letter in reponse to the pros or cons relative to faculty expertise-area salaries. This letter does, though, speak to the "chosen" responsibility that is quite selective by different faculty members. Most professionals have an hourly committment to their jobs. Our Faculty Handbook, pg. 124, indicates that we should spend a minimum of two hour offfice time for each day, Monday through Friday. If some areas of faculty assignments are worthy of higher salaries, then should not those who commit themselves to teaching and office hours receive compensation for their time compared to full-time faculty who teach only two nights a week and take a full load of graduate work at another university; and consequently do not fulfill a full contract of employment, but are paid as full-time workers? Our Faculty Handbook, pages 146-47, indicates that we should enroom in a.maximum of four graduate hours while em-

ployed as a full-time, salaried faculty member, and there is a request form for this approval. We only allow 12 graduate hours for UCO full-time students. If our administration is approving or even tolerating of this off-campus, nonoffice time, then that approval is wrong and is paradoxically the opposite of the information given to us in the Faculty Handbook. There is a procedure for sabbatical which is the enabling process for offcampus enrollment. Relative to office hours, we also have faculty members who simply choose not to maintain office hours, and whether one is offcampus to do graduate work or whether one doesn't choose to keep office hours, it causes other faculty to cover the office for those who are not available. Ask the students; they'll tell you how difficult it is to find some professors. I've had students tell me, "You're never in your office." If they can't find me, then they really would have trouble finding those who only work two days a week. I spend time in the office, except for usually one day—morning or afternoon—each week when I visit student teachers or entry year teachers, and I have students in Guthrie, Duncan, El Reno and Tulsa, plus locally.

Having a graduate degree, regardless of the area of training, does not in itself reflect an erudite worthiness of a certain pay scale, or even a job. There should be a consistent demonstration of responsible employment before one can even remotely express his or her worth to the employer. I've been at this university since 1964 and I'm ready to "hang it up." In all my years, from assistant professor to professor, from department chair (before the Peter Principle destroyed the Special Education Department) and back to a straight teaching assignment (at my request), I've never complained about our pay scale or work load. In fact, I feel well rewarded, financially and personally, for my investment in this university. Retirement funds also will be quite adequate. It usually appears that those who "really" work, seldom complain, but those who pretend or perceive that they are over-worked are the chronic complainers. If you really believe you are overworked or underpaid, go visit the public school teachers and see what full-time committment is.

Friends enjoy competition By Tambra Brown Student Writer Food Services Assistant Directors, Willlie Maxwell and Debbie Jackson, aren't particularly new to the University of Central Oklahoma campus. Besides working in the UCO Food Service Department for the past 13 years, they both have other ties with the university. Maxwell attended the then Central State University for two years after he graduated from high school. He then went to Oklahoma State University where he gra-

duated with a degree in hotel and restaurant management. Jackson did not attend UCO, but she did many a star football player from UCO, Zontina Jackson, who graduated in 1982. Maxwell was hired in 1979. "The staff was limited," said Maxwell, "and I knew how hard Debbie worked, so I recruited her to come up here to the university." Maxwell and Jackson worked together previously for three years at the Parker House restaurant in Edmond where Maxwell was the managing chef and Jackson was a waitress. Jackson and Maxwell have split

Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of the UCO International Office, said he was delighted that an international student was given the honor. "I love to study and would choose studying over working," said Lor. She maintains a grade point average of 3.78 and works part-time in the library. Lor has been in America for two and a half years. She will be graduating this semester and plans to go back Malaysia to look for a job. Her future plans include working toward her master's degree. Who's Who is a national recognition program adopted by more than 1,400 colleges as part of their annual campus honors, said Director Pettus Randall. Selections are made by the campus nominating committee composed of representatives from the faculty, administration and student body. Lor is now a lifetime member of Who's Who. She will have free use of the Who's Who reference service to seek postgraduate employment, fellowships or admission to various voluntary service organizations. V

Lab director speaks to physics students By Michele Soh Student Writer Some physicists describe the Super Collider as a time machine because it allows them to recreate conditions similar to those at the very beginning of the universe. Dr. Thomas 0. Bush, associate director of the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory, recently presented a lecture entitled "A Super Collider Overview," at the University of Central Oklahoma. The lecture was sponsored by the Society of Physics Students. Bush said the Super Collider is a particle accelerator. In a giant ring, 54 miles in circumference, the accelerator propels two beams of protons in opposite directions. 'articles of protons, electrons and uclei form atoms, which are the wilding blocks of matter. These protons accelerate until

nearly the speed of light and then collide in huge detector halls. From the resultant debris, physicists can learn more about the fundamental particles and forces of the universe. Dr. Baha Jassemnejad, a UCO physics lecturer and sponsor of the physics society, said 55 people attended the seminar, including professors and students from UCO, the University of Oklahoma, Southern Nazarene University. The Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory will be completed in 1999. It is managed by the Universities Research Association, Inc., a non-profit corporation of 78 leading research universities in the United States and Canada. The project is overseen by the U.S. Department of Energy. Funds for its aonstruction have been appropriated by Congress. V

UCO music prof's pieces performed By Angela Mitchell Student Writer Dr. Samuel Magrill, assistant professor of music at the University of Central Oklahoma, will once again have two of his original compositions performed. Magrill composes his work by using an electronic keyboard and computer generated sounds. "Strands of Time," which was composed in 1990 as a work for a half-track stereo tape, was presented at the University of Alabama, March 11, during the Society of Composers' National Conference.

"Strands of Time" was also part of the Society for ElectroAcoustic Music in the United States National Conference at the University of Illinois last October.

Professor a purple person By Pam Thurman Staff Writer

Dr. Gladys Lewis, assistant professor of English

Writer to speak here By Pam Thurman

Staff Writer Alan Lelchuk, author and professor of the graduate writing program at Dartmouth College, will visit the University of Central Oklahoma this week to speak about writing. Although, Lelchuk teaches English and writing classes at Dartmouth, he said he was a writer first. "I was a teacher when I emerged from Stanford (Ph.D. 1965, English), but I was a writer before that. I suppose ever since I was about seven or eight years old, and spent my evenings alone, I had writing on my mind," Lelchuk said. Lelchuk said his writing has been influenced by Erskine Caldwell, and Philip Roth as well as other favorite writers.

"Roth is a different situation because we were best friends and traded manuscripts. I'm sure that influenced me to some extent," he said. Lelchuk is also the author of "Miriam at 34," and "Miriam in Her Forties," books that trace a woman's life by decades. Lelchuk will offer three lecture times, two of which will be in Pegasus Theater: 6:30 p.m. March 12, with a reception following in the faculty lounge of the Liberal Arts Building, and 8:30 a.m. March 13. Then from 9:30 to noon March 14, he will speak to the Creative Studies Writers' Institute in Liberal Arts Building, room 223. Admission is free for all three lectures. For more information contact the creative studies department, ext. 5667. V

Dr. Gladys Lewis is a purple person, and Miss Piggy, the symbol of the feminine essence that really rules the world, is her patron saint. On her desk is a plaque that describes purple people as imaginafive, sensitive, artistic and sophisticated. Lewis, an assistant English professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, said she agreed with the first three, but sophisticated wasn't a word she chose to describe herself. "I've had a lot of fun with my purpleness," Lewis said. "I kind of adopted purple as my emblem of being this sort of schizzy, little old woman in tennis shoes, who loves Miss Piggy and who loves the artistic, symbolic meaning of purple." Purple has a lot of symbolic significance in regard to royalty. In ancient times, only the privileged wore purple because it was so hard to find, she said. Lewis said being a "purple personality" has kept her busy through the years. She began her professional career as a nurse. After 15 years in the field, and one year as a hospital administrator, she decided nursing wasn't what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. "What I enjoyed about nursing was the patient care ...but I just didn't care for administration. I felt like the hospital owned my

soul. There is such a shortage in the profession, I'd have to go to work two or three hours early to get everything set up, work like crazy ...then have to stay two or three hours to do my charting. I didn't like how it was tearing me apart," Lewis said. So she entered the creative studies program at UCO in 1982, she said. "I have always loved reading and literature. I've always had a writing project of some kind, even when I was a little bitty person," Lewis said. Lewis said she wrote her first novel, "Tawna of the Jungle," when she was in the third grade. It was about a lion cub. "What I knew about lion cubs, I have no idea, but I remember working all that summer on my novel," she said. Although "Tawna" didn't get published, other of her books have. She said her book "On Earth

As It Is" is probably her most wellknown. It is a personal narrative of the time her family spent at a mission hospital in Paraguay, South America. "The book relates the whole experience of encountering a new culture, and relating to the people. It's sort of my Puritan spiritual autobiography,"

"My husband is a surgeon; we had a mobile clinic that we'd take to different places out in the country where people had never seen doctors and nurses before. We had a sort of public health service," she said. During the time she was a student at UCO, Lewis worked as a graduate teaching assistant, and discovered that she enjoyed academic life, she said. After receiving her master's degree, she went to Oklahoma State University and earned her doctorate degree in literature, which she received in December. V

poria State and lost a 2-0 lead when ESU exploded for a six-run fourth inning and eventual 7-4 win. Then, against William Penn, Iowa, UCO scored five runs in the first and backed that up with a four-run second to post a 9-0 lead. Honea cranked a home run to highlight a 14-hit attack, while Douglas and Sherry McIntosh added doubles. Sophomore Jody Galbraith garnered her first collegiate win, allowing only three hits and whiffing six batters in the 9-1 romp. Northeastern then eliminated UCO from the tournament with a 4-1 victory.

Joe told to 'take a hike'

WASHINGTON (AP)—The surgeon general and the American Medical Association (AMA) Monday demanded that R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. get rid of its "Old Joe" cartoon camel cigarette advertising because it appeals too much to kids. "In years past, R.J. Reynolds would have us walk a mile for a Camel," Surgeon General Antonia Novello said. "Today, it's time that we invite `Old Joe' camel himself to take a hike." Studies published last December in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that more than half of 229 children aged three to six recognized "Old Joe" as a cigarette ad. That's almost as many as recognized that Ford and Chevrolet were cars. Dr. James S. Todd, executive vice-president of the AMA, said that despite the cigarette industry's claims that children are not targeted by cigarette ads, the manufacturers have to expand their market. "Any industry which kills more than 435,000 of its best customers every year must find new customers," Todd said. "It is absolutely an outrage and immoral that they have targeted our children, prior to the age of consent, bombarding them with cartoon images saying, 'Be like Old Joe and smoke Camels.' This must stop now." V

Medicinal marijuana weeded from public health program WASHINGTON (AP) = The nation's Public Health Service has quietly made the controversial decision not to provide marijuana for medical purposes to any additional AIDS, cancer, glaucoma or other patients, a Public Health official said Tuesday. "The decision was made by the Public Health Service primarily because of fear that the smoked marijuana would be harmful to people with compromised immune systems," said Bill Grigg, chief spokesman for PHS. Most of the 28 people who had applied to receive the government-provided marijuana but had not yet started receiving it were AIDS patients whose immune systems are weakened, said Grigg. Those people sought the marijuana before PHS chief Dr. James 0. Mason announced in June 1991 that the government would stop processing new applications until it finished a review of marijuana's reported health benefits and potential dangers. That review resulted in Mason's recommendation at the beginning of the year that no more patients should receive marijuana, and the final decision was made last week after it was reviewed by PHS Secretary Louis Sullivan, Grigg said.

"Monster truck" crushes rescuer; 82-year-old man called hero NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) - An 82-year-old spectator killed by a five-ton pickup at a "monster truck" show tossed a boy to safety just before the vehicle crashed into the bleachers, the coroner says. "He's a hero," Niagara County Coroner James Joyce said Sunday of Lester Gilliam. Gilliam was crushed to death and at least seven others were injured Saturday when the truck went out of control at the Niagara Falls Convention Center.
