No Faculty Senate proposals passed by Nigh By Roy Howe Staff Writer
Seven proposals which passed through last year's Faculty Senate were returned to the body at its regular meeting Thursday by university President George Nigh who dis-
approved of five and remanded two back for further study. After senate approval, the proposals are forwarded to Nigh for his OK, where they then become university policy. Four of the five proposals denied by Nigh were out of the senate's Faculty Welfare
and Development committee, chaired by biology professor Bill Radke. Radke expressed his disappointment regarding the denied proposals with an analogy of a football team that experiences victories, but can't win the Superbowl. He said that this should concern the faculty. "I think this is maybe a concern the faculty and we (senate) need to be thinking about," he said. The proposals disapproved by Nigh in-
elude one modifying the definition of fulltime voting faculty for department chairpersons. This proposal outlines procedures for the selection of chairpersons and who may vote. Through a letter to the senate, Nigh said he was disapproving of this proposal for two reasons: "I see no reason to exclude from participation anyone who is up for V See FACULTY, Page 3

THE"Alf,w"MODE OF TRANSPOETATIOM AT UCO,
Drains will soon be able to carry heavy rains
D
rainage on the University of Central Oklahoma is pitiful! Semester after wet semester, UCO faculty, staff and students have sloshed, waded, swam or rowed their way around campus whenever heavy rains or melting snows plagued the Edmond area. The problem isn't really the fault of the present administration. When the university was first built, the area was much less populated than it is now. In fact, it was barely populated at all, and drainage wasn't a problem. It was designed for average rainfalls, and it was considered adequate. In fact, only in the last five years or so, according to Bob Powers, director of safety and equipment management at UCO' s physical plant, were there any requirements for storm run off to use as a guide. And so, the rains come, the snows melt, and everyone concerned curses the myriad lakes and rivers that well up with each new storm. But there may soon be a silver lining when those storm clouds threaten to dump heavy percipitation on UCO, and, ironically, it will come by way of what is also considered a problem by some — that problem being Phase II of President Nigh's Master Plan. Bob Powers, director of safety and equipment management at UCO' s physical plant says that Phase II will take care of the drainage problem. "The money to do that is there, now," he said. Powers says that an increase in size of the drainage facilities to carry more water will be one improvement. Also, the construction of a retention area will keep deep water from accumulating in streets, parking lots, and grounds. People will be able to drive and walk across the campus in relative comfort, or at least take comfort in knowing they'll be able to keep their ankles dry without resorting to hip waders. A round of applause is in order for the physical plant and the masterminds behind the proposed drainage system. At a time when many question the wisdom of the Master Plan and grumble at its multi-million dollar budget, it's nice to know that, at least, no longer will snorkels and water skis seem like appropriate dress code attire for Edmond's stormy days.

No school closing disappoints student
T
an-i writing to express disappointment with the university's handling of a had weather day on March 9. Due to heavy snowfall, the roads were closed, yet UCO opened for school with only a one-class delay. This forced students and professors to risk life, limb and car to get to get to class. I don't know how many students or professors had accidents, but at least one professor ended up in a ditch. In addition, an unfair burden
was placed on all the students and professors with school-age children. During a normal school year, we know when our children have holidays, vacations or teacher-service days, and we plan accordingly. However, we cannot second guess Mother Nature and have no way to plan for weather closings at the schools; so many of us had to stay home Wednesday with our children. When all the schools surrounding UCO close for bad weather,
UCO should follow suit. If UCO has to open, then professors should not take roll or give quizzes and tests. I personally am a conscientious student who has nevermissed a day since I started at UCO and have never used my children as an excuse to miss class. Unfortunately, I and many other UCO parents had no choice Wednesday.

Whitewater different from Watergate Arab News, Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, on Whitewater:
/
t is difficult to stir up any
enthusiasm for the idea that Bill Clinton has been involved in corrupt dealings, let alone that the presidency is about to be rocked to its foundations. The Whitewater affair is no Watergate or Irangate. Little more than minor tax infringements and perhaps a naive and foolish cronyism by Bill Clinton while governor of Arkansas seem to be involved. Embarrassing, yes, but these are, as the White House says, no "high crimes or misdemeanors." Understandably, few Americans have until now shown the slightest in-
terest in the affair. ... The affair has undoubtedly damaged the administration, not because it is going to result in impeachment or anything so disastrous, but because it highlights the inadequacies of the Clinton team and forces it onto the defensive when it needs to devote all its energies into its policies, notably its social and health care reforms. The practice of each new president in surrounding himself in the White House with his buddies is understandable; he needs to have people around him that he knows and can trust. The trouble is that it
creates a clique, with its loyalty to the man and not to the president. Rarely has that been more apparent in modern American politics. If Bill Clinton is to break out of the clawing mess that he and his team have got him into, he will have to break tip the clique and bring in personal advisers who are not cronies from Little Rock. Only by doing so, can he rebuild his "Mr. Clean" image and get on the far more important job of running America.

"Third-party-billing calls are not allowed," said Elston. "When the system was first opened, some of the calls ended up billed back to the university." Before the Communicall system was permanently installed, the university accepted bids from MCI, Will Tel and Communicall. MCI and Conrununicall underwent six month-test periods, and the final decision was based on the amount of commission the cornpanies would pay to the university's general fund.
"The university receives roughly 17 percent of the total cost of a call," said Elston. Communicall may be used from any university telephone by dialing 77 then the area code and telephone number desired. A "BONG" will be heard, followed by the word "COMMUNICALL." The caller may then enter a credit card number, said Elston. If the call is outside the continental United States, or if the call is to be charged to a proprietary calling card, an operator will be required to place the call, said Elston.

Archives shows artwork by Edmond resident By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer
In recognition of Indian Heritage Week and the Land Run of 1889, the University of Central Oklahoma Special Collections/ Archives Research Library is displaying artwork by Edmond residents H. Veida Blick and Nancy Russell. Buick, originally from Kentucky, will be displaying several oil paintings inspired by the landscape and surroundings she saw as a child in Kentucky. "Painting lets me express my feelings about things I have seen. It allows me to express myself in color and design and to share my ideas. I enjoy painting and sculpture. Painting and sculpture complement each other," said B lick. Blick will also display a sculp-
ture of her son Brian, that won first prize in the Oklahoma Art Guild, and a collection of family "heirloom quilts." One of the quilts is made from woolen skirts she wore in college, another is made from men's ties. The quilts were made by her mother and grandmothers. In addition to her art, B lick is a medical technologist in hematology at Baptist Medical Center. Blick will be displaying her artwork through April 30. Russell began her art career after raising a family. She studied under the tutelage of renowned western artist and sculptor Frederick Olds. She was also instructed by well- known sculptors Janet Denton and John Burke. Russell has 25 pieces on display. Her sculptures are often made from wood native to the state of Oklahoma. She also works in clay, bronze and stone. "I am particularly fond of working with found wood because of
its warmth and beauty. Wood is not the most practical medium for an artist because the process is slow and only one edition results, but I continue to believe that nature is the supreme artist and her work can only enhance my own," said Russell. "Frontier School Teacher," a piece fired from Oklahoma clay, is positioned in the showing near a painting by her mentor Frederick Olds. Her sculpture, "Kiowa Warrior," is made from Oklahoma cedar. The feather is carved from the limbs extruding from the trunk. Russell's work can be found in over a dozen private collections throughout the country. Her work will be displayed through April 7. The Special Collections/ Archives Research Library is located in Evans Hall and is open to the public. It will remain open weekdays throughout spring break.

'Art of Politics' on display By Jennifer Palmer Staff writer
"I'm rough, I'm tough, and I don't take crap off anyone," reads one display piece in the University of Central Oklahoma "Art of Politics" exhibition in the Donna Nigh Gallery in the University Center. The piece is a roll of toilet paper used in a state senator's campaign, and is probably one of the oddest in the exhibit, said Bobby A. Amini, curator of the Donna Nigh Gallery. President George Nigh, as well as Carl Reherman and Bob Fungston, both of the Nigh Institute, have made donations to the exhibit. The collection includes campaign buttons, ribbons and posters, newspaper articles, dolls and plates. "The University of Oklahoma has even lent a videotape of campaign ads from their Political Commercial Archive. It shows cross sections of ads from across the United States," said Amini. The exhibit opened March 10 and will be oq display through March 30. A reception will be held March 28 in conjunction with the Mayor's Conference, sponsored by the Nigh Institute of S tate Government and the Oklahoma Municipal League. The exhibit is
free to the public. The reception will be from 5-7 p.m. and will include Oklahoma mayors and legislators as special guests. There will also be a special presentation by political art collector John Dunning in the Lariat Room
in the University Center, Amini said. "Other collectors will be there to talk to those who are interested," said Amini. For more information, contact the Nigh Institute at 341-2980, Ext. 3360.

UCO presents Dancer's Masterpiece UCO African sounds, rhythms mix with blend of music; dancer composer JAHRUBA focuses on heritage, dance joins troupe By Carol Cole Mills
Guest Writer

Staff Writer
Dancing has been a dream for University of Central Oklahoma freshman Serapis Khepra, and now he is able to follow that dream as a member of the Infinity Plus Dance Troupe. "It's something I've always wanted to do since I was a little kid," he said. Khepra and six high school students from the metro area were brought together two months ago to form the group by Mickey Malone, manager of the teen dance club Generations, he said. The group has performed athigh schools and a Cavalry basketball game to the rhythm of Hip Hop music. They will dance again at a March 25 Cavalry game, Khepra said. Eventually the troupe wants to become famous, and he said if the group stays together, he thinks they can do it. Khepra, a business major, and another member are responsible for the choreography, he said. The dancers were chosen by Malone because they frequented Generations, and he wanted to make the club more exciting, Kherpra said.
African sounds, movement and rhythms will flow through Mitchell Hall along with an eclectic blend of classical, jazz and contemporary music as the University of Central Oklahoma's Kaleidoscope Dancers present "The Dancer's Masterpiece" at 8 p.m. March 17-19. A new collaborative work between UCO' s Director of Dance, Jamie Jacobson and musician/ composerJAHRUB A, "Echoes of the Heart" will be performed live by .TAHRUB A, UCO dancer Troy Avriett with choreography by Jacobson. JAHRUBA will play a variety of African instruments throughout the dance. The focus of the dance is on the importance of society's remembering heritage. The lyrical pas de deux, "Lost and Found," choreographed last fall for the Kaleidoscope Dancers by nationally renowned guest choreographer Frank Chavez, will be performed by student dancers Daphne McCoy and Kevin Kern. Chavez is currently the artistic director for the River North Dance company in Chicago and has danced with several professional companies including Ballet Hispanico of New York, Gus Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago and Hubbard Street Dance Company. His work encompasses television, video and commercial work. Chavez and the River North

WORLD`S 4"' WRAP Authorities take spy into custody MOSCOW (AP) — Russian authorities took a German spy into custody Thursday, a news agency reported, in the latest salvo in its spying feud with the West. The Interfax news agency cited a "well-informed source" as saying Russia's Federal Counterintelligence Service had caught an agent of the German intelligence service BND. There were no further details immediately available. A duty officer at the counterintelligence service refused comment, and the German Embassy said there was no one available to discuss the report. The report was the latest in a series of announcements by Russia since the Feb. 21 arrest in Washington of alleged CIA mole Aldrich AmeS and his wife on charges they spied for Moscow since 1985.
Killer leaves recording for family GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Days before a drifter began the raping and killing spree that left five college students dead, he sat down with a tape recorder and talked to his family. "You deserved a hell of a lot more than the pain that I've brought you and I regret it with all my heart," Danny Harold Rollings says on the tape. "Maybe in the hereafter, when it's all said and done, all the ships are in and all the chips are in, and everything's sorted out, perhaps we'll understand this one day. Well, I'm gonna sign off for a little bit. I got something I gotta do. I love Within days, Rollings broke into three apartments and killed Chrism Hoyt, 18, Tracy Paules, 23, Christina Powell, 17, Sonja Larson, 18, and Manuel Taboada, 23. The jury that will remii,iehd claw' ueath or life in prison for Rollings heard the tape Thursday. As Rollings listened, he sometimes cried, sometimes buried I , ' flee in hid hands. The cassette was found at a camps i te Rollings used before he killed the students in August 1990. He has pleaded guilty to the murders. -
Man cuts off finger with guillotine HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A man opposed to guncontrol legislation used a homemade guillotine and a hammer to cut off his trigger finger in front of the state Capitol. Joel Gonzalez, an unemployed laborer recently elected to the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, carried out the protest as the Legislature's Public Safety Committee held a hearing on gun control. In a written statement, Gonzalez suggested deterring crime through harsher penalties for criminals rather than gun control. Police said Gonzalez, 29, left the hearing Tuesday afternoon, went outside and sliced off his entire finger. "He was extremely calm. That's what bothered me," said Capitol Police Sgt. Tony Murphy. Police said Gonzalez gave the finger to a friend, Carlos Ramos, who carried it into the hearing room in a plastic bag tucked in his breast pocket. Officers approached Ramos and confiscated the bag before any further public displays. Gonzalez refused to have the finger reattached, according to a spokesman at Ilartford Hospital.
Woman gets spared death penalty BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A woman who had a young man killed for jilting her daughter was spared the death penalty. A jury Wednesday sentenced 56-year-old Dora Garcia Cisneros to life in prison instead of death by injection for paying two men $3,000 to kill Joey Fisher in 1993. She won't be eligible for parole for at least 35 years. Fischer, 18, was shot to death a year after he broke up with Mrs. Cisneros' 17-year-old daughter. Daniel Garza, a middleman in the murder-for-hire, also was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison. The government's key witness, fortuneteller Maria Mercedes Martinez, testified that she acted as the intermediary between Mrs. Cisneros and Garza. Mrs. Martinez pleaded guilty to murder conspiracy and is awaiting sentencing.

Don't free them, fry them The U.S. Constitution is one of those things in life that keeps the debating clubs of the world running. That is because, like anything built for the ages, it was made to bend and stay supple under the weight of changing times and many of its major points are open to interpretation. Perhaps one of the most important, and unfortunately vague, concepts that the Constitution puts forth in the interest of protecting the rights of the individual against the State, is the proscription against "cruel and unusual punishment." This is a necessary and needed precaution against the possible excesses that governments are sometimes prone to. But the problem comes with trying to define what words like cruel and unusual punishment might mean, and the application of such punishments by governments imbued with the responsibility of protecting its citizens from each other. Such is the dilemma that Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun tried to address recently when he reversed his long-held position on capital punishment by saying, "I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death."

March 15, 1994
Justice Blackmun fails to ognize r ecognize is that, as a citizen living in a violeni society, he is caught in the wheels of that m chinery %vith the rest of us, wh ther he likes it or not. In rebutting Justice B lacicmun' s position, Justice Antonin Scalia cited one of the homicide cases before the court of an 11-year-old girl who was raped by four men and then killed by having her panties stuffed down her throat. "How enviable a quiet death by lethal injection compared with that!" Scalia said. In a column appearing in "The Oklahoma Observe " Colman McCarthy posits that those who believe capital punishment to be neither cruel nor unusual are saying that one life has more or less value than another and one way of killing is more or less offensive than another, and he believes this to be wrong. But the truth is, when you get down to it, one way of killing is more or less offensive than another.
It is an unspeakable evil when someone's life has been taken from them during the commission of some crime; a crime that the criminal chose to participate in in the first place. And to permit a cold-blooded murderer to live, is saying to the world that his life is more important than his victim's life was. Considering the brutality and finality of murder, I have no problem saying that the life that the victim lost is as important and in as much need of consideration as the killer's life. The death penalty is in need of deep consideration and reform to make it a punishment that is necessary, uniform and fitting of a particular crime. But it is also a valid punishment for brutal, senseless crimes that end in the taking of a life. Until those among us who prey upon society are vulnerable to the same measure that they are willing to inflict on the rest of us, then society will be in danger of disintegrating into frustrated anarchy.

an awards banquet on April 21 to an SNA sponsor or faculty member who shows dedication to nursing students and the nursing profession. "I'm very honored," Dobler said. "I enjoy working with all the students and the nursing students especially." Dobler, who has been UCOSNA faculty sponsor for three years, will be attending the convention with seven members of the organization. The students will represent UCO at the delegates meeting.
They will discuss incoming national officers and resolutions that other schools have put before them to see what position the National S tudent Nurses' Association wants to take, McBride said. The convention activities include workshops and lectures by specialty nurses, she said. The executive director of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing in Washington, D.C., Dr. Geraldine Bednash, will be the keynote speaker at the opening ceremony April 20.
PRINCIPLES of' SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING
For the first institute, "Will Rogers, The Journalist," students will meet every night for one week and will receive one credit hour. The institute will be taught by Dr. Reba Collins, who has written seven books on the subject.

Will Rogers communicated not only through the newspapers, but through radio, public speeches and movies, said Collins. The institute will therefore cover all of these, and it will also serve to introduce the students to Will Rogers and the effect he had on society, she said. Students will be expected to present some form of communication at the end of the course. The options for the medium of communication are open. Collins was also a friend of Will Rogers Jr. and will show videos taken with him. Last year, over 80 people attended the institute, said Collins. The second institute will start April 4 and will last two weeks. It is worth two credit hours and will cover the community newspapers, their operations and roles. Clark, who owned the "Waurika News Democrat" for 12 years, will teach this institute. "We will cover every aspect of small papers and their operation," said Clark. Many members of the newspaper field will give lectures on newspaper operations. The institute is the only one of its kind in Oklahoma. There are 175 weekly papers, and 50 daily papers in Oklahoma, said Clark. Students will be required to write a report at the end of the institute. There is space for 100 students in the class and approximately 45 students have already enrolled. For more information on either institute contact Clark at 3412980, Ext. 5122.

James reigns atop UCO wrestling dynasty By Scott Moore Sports Writer You could call it a dynasty, and we're not talking about the Dallas Cowboys. "It" refers to the University of Central Oklahoma wrestling program and unlike the so-called Dallas dynasty who have collected a mere two-straight titles, the Bronchos have won three-straight championships and have amassed eight titles in the last ten years. Throw in three second-place finishes and you have, without question, a legitimately dominant program. And since 1982, this titleconsuming monster has been under the direction of one man, Head Coach David James. "I was very lucky to get a coaching job atUCO," said James. "You might say I was in the right place at the right time. Eddie Griffen (UCO wrestling coach, 1978-82) stepped down, and I was available. I took over in the fall of 1982 at an early age and ever since then, things have been very good." Very good indeed.
When James took the reigns in the fall of '82. he guided the Bronchos to a 7-6 record and an NAIA fifth-place national ranking. After that initial season, James led UCO to five NAIA titles ('84, '85, '86, '87, '89) and threeNCAA division II crowns ('92, '93, '94). His teams finished as runners-up in '88, '90, '91. In perspective, James has guided the Bronchos to nine titles in a program that won only three in 29 seasons before his arrival. The reasons? "I think the bottom line is that we out-work people," said James. "We try to keep our philosophy very simple. We want to outwork people and give 150 percent each and every day. We're better because our athletes are better prepared, both mentally and physically for competition. We work extremely hard in practice, and we pay the price in preparation. You can' t pass a test unless you're prepared. Preparation is the absolute key." James not only stresses preparation, but also consistency as well. "I demand a lot from our wres-

tiers," said James. "I want our wrestlers to stay consistent in going 150 percent every day and to keep a consistent attitude that they are going to go out and out-work every other wrestler in the United States. "Anyone can go out and give the maximum effort every once in a while. But our wrestlers will give the maximum every day and that's what gives them the edge. The bottom line is consistency and keeping that attitude on a consistent basis."
James has won the coach of the year award five times and has coached 22 individual champions and 77 All-Americans and is quick to list the reasons for his success at UCO. "We get good quality studentathletes here (at UCO) because the state of Oklahoma does an outstanding job, including the high school level, of preparing studentathletes in wrestling," saidJames. "They are simply better prepared. High school coaches do an excellent job in creating opportunities for wrestlers. They get great exposure, and UCO has the opprotunity to go get wrestlers that are prepared. You might say that the state of Oklahoma is a step above everyone else in these regards. I have always given a lot of credit to our high school programs. "After that, I' d say our program has a strong tradition in the sport of wrestling. And then I'll say that I happen to be a lucky person in a good position here. We have an excellent coaching staff and good quality student athletes." James is the winningest coach
in the wrestling program's history with a combined record of 12853-3. He wrestled for the Bronchos from 1977-80 compiling a 116-16 win-loss record and becoming UCO' s first four-time All-American. He won back-to-back national individual titles in 1979-80. After graduating in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in physical education, he became a gradutate assistant with Bronchos from 198081. He then coached for one year in the Edmond public school system before taking over as head coach for the Bronchos in '82. "I didn't consider caoching as a profession until about my junior or senior year," said James. "Up till that time I was thinking of maybe entering a business field. I guess at one time toward the end of my college career I did a little soul-searching you might say, and asked myself what I really wanted to do with my life. "I like being around people and some of the most importantpeople that have made a difference in my life have been coaches. That's See JAMES, Page 9

probably' the bottom line as to why I chose this profeesion." TheB ronchos recently captured the 1994 NCAA division II title rolling up 127.25 points, almost doubling the point total of secondplace finisher Mankato State (65.5). Four UCO wrestlers won individual champions and a record-tying eight were AllAmericans. "This team, I felt, had the potential to dominate," said James. "With the wrestlers we had returning and the things we accomplished this year, I felt that we had the potential to do realy well. Now I don't want to belittle anyone or any program but we simply had a good team. "I'm proud of this team and I was really excited for our wrestlers. I've been around this sport long enough to know of the sacrifices that an individual makes on a daily basis in this sport. There is no greater feeling than an individual championship." Do the awards and titles diminish the excitement? "If I didn't find it challenging then I would get out," he said. "I still enjoy the start of every season. I enjoy setting goals and working to achieve them and the fun, I think, is in the preparation. "I enjoy coaching at the University of Central Oklahoma, and I feel that as long as it's still a challenge and it's still exciting and as long as I'm still helping studentathletes, I'm going to stay involved."
Soccer Club gets clobbered by SNU By Rachel Schnitzer
Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Soccer Club men's and women's teams lost their first home games Saturday to Southern Nazarene University. The women went first, falling 7-0. The first half was close. The Lady Bronchos played tough defense led by fullback Kelly Ehreke and sweeper Angela Wolf. SNU could not penetrate the UCO defense until late in the half. After a throw-in, the Lady Redskins brought the ball up field on a crossing pattern and took a wide open shot on goal to make the score 1-0. The Lady Bronchos held their own until SNU played a trianglepass attack that UCO could not keep up with. The second goal was a hard shot from the outside that nailed the upper-right-hand
corner. In the second half the Lady Bronchos could not maintain the pace that the Lady Redskins set. After SNU had scored five, the Lady Bronchos changed goalies and gave all-stater Shawna Cargill a try. Cargill held the Lady Redskins in check for the most part, allowing only three shots past. The men then fell to the Redskins 8-0. Once again UCO played a good first half but gave it away in the second. The men played scoreless for a while, then SNU attacked and scored one on a give-and-go play. That was the only goal that keeper Brian Colley let in until a penalty shot skimmed off his fingers and into the goal to give SNU a 2-0 half-time lead. "The second half seemed to be goal, goal, goal," said Colley. The second half saw the Redskins score six and push the game out of reach.
