Teachers recognized for quality work Seventeen awards worth $18,500 granted to professors for 'meritorious activities' By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer UCO professors received 17 Faculty Merit/Credit Awards this year, totaling $18,500. Dr. Darlene Kluka, assistant professor in health, recreation and dance and Dr. James Bidlack, assistant professor of
biology, received awards in two areas. Kluka said she was surprised when she was told she was the first Merit Award winner for the department of health, recreation and dance. "We have a lot of good people here," she said. Kluka, who was recognized for service and research, plans to
use her credit to travel to the Olympics in Atlanta. She will work in the International Volleyball Congress as director of human resources. Her lodging and expenses are covered, but getting to Atlanta is not, she said. Bidlack earned honors in both service and teaching, which
brings the total number of awards issued to the biology department to five. Bidlack said he will use the money to make life easier for his students by purchasing a laser jet printer. He had been using his own personal printer for exams so that students would not be YSee AWARDS, Page 4

EDITORIAL
A win-win situation for terrorists T
errorism is back in style.
Within a year there were separate acts of calculated madness whose level of atrociousness etches them indelibly in the minds and memories of many. Interspersed between periodic assassinations, suicide missions and plane hijackings loom the Oklahoma City bombing, the Cuban air attack, Serbian ethnic cleansing and the brutal Israelite assault. These acts, concocted to intimidate and petrify, is a cause for great social concern—just what kind of a world do we live in if violence has become so much a part of our lives that some of us wield it as our only negotiating tool? Justice is not swift either. Terrorists leave in their wake bloodied shrapnel and mutilated corpses, and if they fail to make a quick get-away, they usually kill themselves under a delusion that their God has willed it such. Our civilization, contrary to the term, is becoming less and less civil. We should maintain a minimal threshold of tolerance, for terrorism specifically and violence in general. The proximity of terrorism, whether its impact is felt nationally or internationally, should in no way undermine our outrage at the sanctimonious acts.

LETTERS
Student 'officially responds' to controversial letter We, the members of the Black Student Association, would like to officially respond to that disheartening letter by Mr. Jason Bryan. First allow us to begin by stating that we found encouragement in the many letters that responded to this young man's views. Secondly, allow us to echo the statements of those respondents. The Black Student Association does not discriminate on basis of race, color, ethnicity or gender. BSA functions are open to all students of institution.We have all heard the saying, "An apple does not fall far from the tree." We know
today that an apple whose tree is rooted in slavery has an enormous possibility of falling into poverty and illiteracy. However, a tree that is rooted firmly in the traditions and customs of the continent will cast apples of hope and encouragement into areas of science and business. Mr. Bryan, college experience is supposed to be one of further enlightenment and increased knowledge. This culturally diverse microcosm should be preparing you for the real world. A world that is filled with many cultures, colors and classes.We
ask that you do not leave this institution with "blinders" on because we know that you will be ill-equipped to handle the real world. Mr. Bryan, we also invite you to our functions and our meetings and hope that we can bridge the gap that seems to separate us. In conclusion, we would like to include a poem that better describes our feelings on racial matters. —Aaron Givens president of Black Student Association
The Bridge Builder
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near, "You are wasting your strength with building here, Your journey will end with the ending of the day, You never again will pass this way. You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build you this bridge at eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head. "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said "There followeth
today, A youth whose feet must pass this way. The chasm that was as nought to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pit be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim Good friend, I am building this bridge for him,"
An old man going a lone highway Came at the evening, cold and gray, To chasm vast and wide and steep, With waters rolling cold and deep. The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span tide.

Get your foot in the door with these Staff writer Gayleen Langthorn interviews Dr. Kathryn Gage of Career Development and Placement Services for pointers on how to create a lasting impression at your first interview. This is the third story in a series on employment. Vou've written the perfect resume and the company has called you for an interview—now what do you do? Students should view the interview as their chance to communicate their skills to the employer, said Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of UCO's Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS). At a recent technology summit Gage attended, company leaders discussed the attributes they want in an employee: work ethics, communication, interpersonal and problemsolving skills, flexibility and loyalty. "Companies feel if you have those core skills and abilities, you can be trained to do all sorts of things," Gage said. Before the interview, it's important to assess one's skills and abilities. "Remember, you are marketing yourself," said Gage. ILW It's also important to do one's homework and research the company. "What do you know about our company?" is a common interview question. CD&PS has on file the profiles for many companies. La' Looking professional is also important in projecting a good image, Gage said. Basic grooming is important to remember too; getting a haircut can lead to a neat professional look, she said. However, dressing well and researching the company are not the only keys to success in an interview—

flexibility is also important. Interviews may take several forms these days. There may be multiple interviews, the interviewer may be one person or a panel, or the interview may be conducted over the phone. "You need to be ready for anything," Gage said.

Lady Bronchos fall to NEOSU By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer 411!■•••■
The Lady Bronchos dropped a 7-1 decision to Northeastern State, the 16th-ranked team in NAIA, Friday afternoon at Oak Tree Country Club in Edmond, and Baxter cited a lack of practice time as a reason. "Due to the cold weather and so on, we just haven't been able to hit enough balls," said Baxter, whose team is now 1-4 in dual play. "There is no secret (to tennis). It all depends on how many tennis balls you hit. The team that hits 1,000 is better than the team that only hits 500."
Jana Vnouckova garnered UCO's only victory by defeating NEOSU's Sanja Milas 6-2, 4-6, 6-1. The fourth-ranked freshman raised her singles record to 12-2 and stayed undefeated this spring. "Probably the highlight of Jana's match is that she was able to finish the match very strong, so that's an indication that her conditioning is good and her mental toughness is good," said Baxter. Each of the other Lady Bronchos succumbed in straight sets to the Lady Reds, who are Andrea Bailey hits a volley now 13-2. during a recent match. (Staff photo by Laurette Graham)

pale in comparison to the monster weekend he had in the Bronchos' sweep of Morningside (Iowa). Lawson, a junior from Putnam
City, had seven hits (in 12 atbats), four home runs (including two grand slams), ten runs and 17 runs batted in. His eight runs batted in totaled in the opening game tied a Lone Star Conference record. The Bronchos opened with a 23-4 whipping of the Chiefs as Morningside served up two grand slams, including one by Pat Koerner in the 15-run sixth inning. UCO followed up with an 116 win that was highlighted by two five-run innings for the Bronchos. Loan Dollins picked up the win, pitching six innings of three-hit ball. He allowed only one run, which came courtesy of a fourth-inning solo home run by Cory Hoch. The third game had the Bronchos winning 13-8. Clint Cowan broke a 3-3 deadlock with a three-run double and Anthony Cellers hit his first home run of the season. The series finale provided the most excitement as UCO pulled out a 16-15 victory by scoring a
run in the bottom of the seventh. Koerner lined a double to center field to easily score pinch runner Greg Ireton from second base for UCO. Shane Smith hit a two-run home run, his second of the season, and also cracked the Bronchos' record book by hitting his 41st double of his career, tying him with Bob Bailey. The Bronchos play a doubleheader today against Pittsburg State, starting at 1 p.m. at UCO Field.

`It's been an exciting year' Joacquin Stevens, Mr. UCO 1995, shares the high and low moments of his reign By Rob Gallavan Staff Writer With a blue gym bag and bottled water in one hand and a stack of books with a Bible in the other, Joacquin Stevens sat down on the park bench after finishing one activity, ready for another. The 26-year-old senior vocal music major was chosen as Mr. UCO last year and will give up the title this week. "It's been an exciting year as Mr. UCO," he said. He started his campaign as Mr. UCO emceeing fundraisers, riding in the Homecoming Parade, singing at the Miss UCO and Miss Black UCO pageants and starting a community service project with the City Rescue Mission (a homeless shelter). "What I tried to do was initiate something different this year. We got different organizations last spring to help out with the city rescue mission," he said. "It's one thing as a student to make tuition payments...but it's another thing to wonder where your next meal is going to be. "Things are put into perspective," he said. Stevens found one of the fun aspects of being Mr. UCO to be the support and respect he got from people on campus. "It's nice to know you're cared about," he said. "It helps your confidence level." The whole experience gave him more exposure as a performer and more experience at handling different situations. "Any time you can perform, you learn something from that. I think it was an opportunity that has definitely paid off," he said. Joacquin performed at the Lyric Theatre in Norman , Okla. last summer and was hired as a singer with a big band act at Busch Gardens in St. Louis for the 1996 summer season. The scholarship opportunities are one of the most beneficial aspects of the Mr. UCO Pageant, said Joacquin. "It's a good opportunity for guys to get up in front of people to vie for scholarship money, said Stevens. He said he was impressed with how supportive

"I can't be a Michael Jackson, I can't be a Robert DeNiro, I can only be who I am." —JoacquinStevens Mr. UCO 1995 the contestants were of each other during the pageant. "It wasn't cut-throat," he said. "People were trying to help you get dressed, rooting you on while you're doing your talent or your question and then congratulating you when you came off-stage." But for Stevens, the scheduling was the toughest part of being Mr. UCO. "If you're a busy person, you have a lot of opportunities to perform, but as a performance major you have a lot of shows going on as it is," he said, wetting his parched lips as a gust of warm February wind blew by. One of the busier days of his college life was the day of the 1995 Mr. UCO Pageant. "That day was a crazy day," he said. He had auditions for the Lyric Theatre and the Music Theatre Wichita and also had the pageant and rehearsal for a school production the same day. Joacquin walked into the Lyric audition behind 200 people and realized he didn't have enough time to wait in line. He asked the people running the audition if they could schedule him earlier in order for him to get back to the pageant in time. "I thought that they would say no...but they were really nice and said they could fit me in," he said. The Lyric Theatre auditions were cut to 16 bars of music, and the piano accompanist suggested that

Joacquin began singing in the middle of the song so that he could hit one of the higher notes for the audition. "So we start...and we just didn't start at the right place," he said with a chuckle. "So I said 'stop, and could we just start over from the beginning,' and I did it and it was okay." He was called back for the Lyric Theatre and won the Mr. UCO Pageant. Joacquin was involved in the operetta, The Gondoliers, and is trying to plan his senior recital. He plays the piano and saxophone and he wants to put on a showcase of his own. "I really want to produce my own show (in the future), hire a director and some choreographers and put together a video and record a CD for future use to send off to agents," he said. "I can't be a Michael Jackson, I can't be a Robert DeNiro, I can only be who I am."

Demolition mishap under investigation n accident that occurred March 1 at a construction site in Au-co is still under investigation. Kevin Sallee, job superintendent for Midwest Wrecking Co., said Dennis Billy Wright, 26, and Johnny Kaiser, 25, were strapped in the basket of a hydraulic lift on the south side of the University Center. For unknown reasons, the men and machine tumbled over, falling 25 feet as they worked to remove the decorative brick of the building. Both men were released from Edmond Memorial Hospital the same day, said Sallee. Midwest rents the machines from Prime Equipment Co., who are disassembling the machines to check for malfunctions, he said. Bill Minton, safety inspector for the rental company, refused to comment on the status of the investigation or its findings due to possible litigation. According to Sallee, Kaiser suffered a kidney bruise and a bad ankle sprain and Wright had deep chest bruises. "We were glad to see them, glad to see them walking around," said Sallee. "They gave everybody a scare." He said company policy prevented the injured men from talking to the media, and that they had been assigned to "lighter duties" away from UCO. All construction contractors and subcontractors are required by Oklahoma state law to carry workman's compensation insurance that pays a worker's medical expenses in case of injury on the job, he said.

Three professors solicit funds for state-of-the-art technology Staff writer Gayleen Langthom checks out the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and its benefits to UCO biology students.
U
CO biology students will soon have an edge when it comes to finding a job after graduation. Students will soon have the opportunity to use a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a piece of equipment few undergraduate students ever encounter. Those students who learn to use the SEM will be more appealing to potential employers since they will have computer experience and have learned to operate a sophisticated piece of machinary, said Dr. David Elmendorf, assistant professor of biology and principal recipient of a National Science Foundation grant which allowed UCO to purchase the microscope. Even if they won't be using exactly the same equipment, they can be trained on something else more quickly, he said. "I learned how to use a scanning electron microscope in graduate school,"
said Elmendorf. The SEM uses a beam of electrons
