Student body legislature adopts new name, changes T

he Student Government Association won't be known as SGA any longer.

President George Nigh approved the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association's (UCOSA) new constitution March 14.

Members wanted the name change to accurately represent the students of UCO and the new UCOSA constitution.

"We wanted to make it one name that people could identify with, that no one could be confused with, and that was also student friendly," said Keith Weber, president of UCOSA. By dropping the word government, it may help people recognize that they can get involved in some level if they wanted to, in the Student Association, Weber said Weber.

The Student Senate will also be renamed as the House of Representatives.

Another change is in the name of the committees. In the old constitution, UCOSA had standing committees outlined in the constitution.

In the new constitution, the speaker may appoint any committee he deems necessary for the House of Representatives to do its business.

Three committees have been

pparently there's quite a lot in a name. At least that's what our student leaders think.

After unsuccessful attempts at reallocating student activity fees last semester, they shifted the focus of their efforts and got a new constitution approved by President George Nigh the week before spring break.

The major change in the constitution: a new name.

We won't have a Student Government Association anymore.

Now they're simply the Student Association.

Keith Weber, our student president, said they wanted a name that would be more student friendly and wouldn't confuse people—so they took out the word "government."

But just like most political moves, it's more style than substance.

The name may have changed, but taking the government out of a group like this would be impossible.

They're still led by a president, they still have a legislative speaker and any action they take comes in the form of a resolution.

Don't be fooled; the only noticeable difference you'll see in the student government association will be on the letterhead.

Citizen questions `true' liberty and freedom

W

hen the founders of this great nation sat down to design the framework upon which our society would be based I am certain that state of affairs in America today is not what they had in mind. Our individual

liberty and freedoms have been taken away from us by the government one step at a time, and Americans are either too stupid or too naive to see that it has occurred.

True liberty and freedom means that I can do pretty much what I want as long as I do not infringe on another person's rights and liberties.

When I do that, I have taken away the other person's liberty.

You say, "Brian, how has the government taken away our liberty and freedom?" Simple. Here is just one example: If I come to your house and confiscate your money and then turn around and give it to my brother who needs it, you would say that I have committed theft and infringed on your property rights.

However, the federal government can confiscate hard working individual's money (through the use of force), and give it to someone it deems is in need of it. This is the same act of thievery. But I ask, is this action any more moral now because the government is doing it collectively under the guise of Public Good? No! It is still an infringement upon your property rights. The money is yours, not the governments. For purely educational purposes, you might be surprised to know, as I was, that transfers in kind account for two-thirds of all federal expenditures.

"But, Brian," you say, "the poor and needy have to be cared for." Although this may be true, I do not see where it is my moral obligation to do so. I work hard to feed and clothe my family and that is the extent of my obligation. Anything I give in excess of this should be purely voluntary. To take by force what is mine and give it to someone else who did not work for it is wrong.

Just take a look at what the War on Poverty has done. Illegitimacy rates have skyrocketed, and we have bred a generation that has become dependent upon the government. Right where the liberals want us. To paraphrase Marvin Olasky's book The Tragedy of American Compassion, "The churches and charities were doing a pretty good job of taking care of the poor for centuries and then the federal government thought they could do a better job."

This is only one example of how the government has slowly eroded away at our freedoms. I plan to show further examples of how are freedoms being taken away in future articles. I just ask that you think about what I have said, and if you doubt what I have stated, read Walter E. William's book, Do The Right Thing: The People's Economist Speaks Out. However you probably will not find this book in the university or municipal library, and it certainly is not in any local bookstores. The liberal government hates an educated and knowledgeable public. —Brian K. Morton

A Vista story March 11 reported the program could be copied off the UCO Website, but it can't.

"At this time Lotus '96 or '97 are not available through UCO Online," said Mike Morkes, publications specialist.

Lee Kessinger, associate director of the computer center, said the '96 version is available on computers in the Business Building, the Library and the micro-lab in the President's

Annex.

Anne Owens, business lab coordinator, said it can be copied onto 36-43 disks. The Windows '95 version takes more disks to copy than the DOS version. `Lotus Smart Suite '97' is available in the bookstore for $19.95 through May 13, after that the price will be $23.95, said Art Robinson, director of the University Center Bookstore, however it's not yet available in the bookstore on diskette.

Studies find students drink more, use more drugs on spring break MENOMONIE, Wis.—Students drink more, use more drugs and engage in riskier sex while on spring break than at their own campuses.

That's what two University of Wisconsin-Stout professors discovered after surveying 800 spring breakers on a Florida beach in 1995.

Three out of four men and two out of five women reported being drunk every day, while a third used marijuana while on spring break, the professors said.

Also, men told the professors that they had more unprotected sex with new partners during break than they typically had a home.

"Our findings are quite startling," said the survey authors, tourism professor Gorge L. Smeaton.

Well...maybe to them. Students, on the other hand, say the survey results are pretty accurate of fun-in-the-sun.

"It doesn't surprise me at all," said Howard Kalin, an Ohio State University senior.

"The idea of spring break is based on

partying. It makes a lot of sense."

Kalin spent his spring break on the beach in Jamaica.

"I know me and my friends drank more than we normally do and used more drugs than we normally do," he said.

In their survey, the professors noted that alcohol and drug use are linked to a variety of negative consequences, from severe sunburn to car accidents to unwanted pregnancies.

And, "with hundreds of thousands of people vacationing in one location, there is also a strong possibility of bringing back sexually transmitted diseases," Smeaton said.

But Kahn says that most students aren't really thinking about the consequences when they're away from campus.

"You don't have to worry about working. You have more free time," he said.

"You can indulge a little bit more."

Entertainment program UCO women's to honor Thatcher Hall honor society renovation staff seeks new members for Fall 1997 Another school year is about to begin and a UCO organization is looking for new members.

TIARAS, a women's honor society group, is taking applications until 5 p.m. tomorrow.

Applications are available in the Student Activities Office located on the fourth floor of the University Center.

Academic excellence and community service are the purposes of the organization.

TIARAS stand for truth, integrity, aspiration, responsibility, action and service.

Members must commit to one service project a month.

Requirements for membership are a minimum 3.0 grade point average, junior standing or 60 credit hours by the fall semester, and involvement in campus activities.

Some applicants said work prohibited them from many campus activities, said Kate O'Neil, president.

"There are so many different degrees of involvement," she said. A woman can be involved with her job or other off-campus organizations.

Campus activities are more favorable but lack of campus activities does not exclude a person from the organization, said O'Neil.

One of the best things about TIARAS is that it allows you to interact with other organizations, she said.

For more information on TIARAS, call O'Neil at 3306038.

Thatcher Hall was a men's dormitory

until 1994 when renovations began.

A new elevator was added, making Thatcher Hall handicapped-accessible; the fire escape was painted and repaired, hardwood floors were resurfaced in the lounge area and the inside of the building was repainted.

Concrete was poured on the terrace patio, the heating and cooling system was restored and the electricity was upgraded as well, said Maltby.

Today, Thatcher Hall serves a variety of functions. Classes, a museum, faculty offices, administrative offices, meeting rooms and the Edmond Language Institute share the building.

Classic accomplishments: Lecture series explores cultural diversity in American literature

T

Dr. Shelly Haley

he first Regina Woodberry Memorial Lecture Series features a keynote speaker from Hamilton College in New York discussing African-American women and classic literature today and tomorrow.

Dr. Shelly Haley, chair of the classics department, will discuss "Against All Odds: Black Women Classicists in the Nineteenth Century" at 7 tonight in the Education Building's Amphitheater.

The lecture explains five women's obstacles "besetting their attempts to storm the most notoriously white-male-dominated field of education," said Dr. Susan Spencer, assistant professor of English and coordinator of the lecture.

Two of the women to be discussed are Frances Jackson Coppin, a former slave and Haley.

A reception will follow in Old North with an opening song by Mr. UCO 1997 Tyrone Stanley.

The second lecture, "Black Athena in the Context of the United States: Reflections on Black Feminist Thought and the Classics," will be at 10:40 a.m. Friday in the Pegasus Theatreof the Liberal Arts Building.

Haley will examine Martin Bernal's volumes of Black Athena.

It said "many of the ideas we consider to be exclusively Greek may, in fact, have been more heavily influenced by Egyptian and African

thought," said Spencer.

The lecture series is in honor of former UCO English professor, Regenia Woodberry. She died March 17, 1996 of cancer.

The professor was working on her doctoral dissertation, Cultural Diversity in American Literature Survey Courses, at the University of Oklahoma.

The English department, College of Education, Office of Outreach and Multicultural Student Services are sponsors of the series.

Regenia helped all students and everyone loved her, said Spencer.

The English department did not want to create a scholarship in her name because that would only be helping one student, the lecture series will help everyone, she said.

The lectures by Haley are the first in what the English Department hopes to be a series of lectures on topics where Regenia expressed interest.

There will be more scholars than actual writers because we want to stay close to what Regenia studied, said Spencer.

The lectures are free and open to the public.

he UCO Foundation is gathering donations to endow at least two scholarships in the name of recently retired chemistry professor, Dr. Verlin Richardson.

Foundation director Dr. Nancy Hughes said after hearing all the positive comments from former students about Richardson, she and Dr. Fred Grosz had the idea to honor him in this way.

"After only five phone calls, half the money has already been raised," Hughes said.

"I would not be where I am today if Dr. Richardson hadn't taken such a personal interest in me," said Dr. Jim Burke, an Edmond area dentist and

evaos'a

—Dr. Verlin Richardson Retired UCO professor contributor to the endowment.

"He is a 'student's professor'—he put the students at the forefront," said Hughes.

Richardson, who taught basic and organic chemistry at UCO for 34 years, said he was overwhelmed by the

response.

"I think the reason they appreciate me is because I taught such a technical and difficult subject," said Richardson.

"And I told them if they were sincere and worked at it, I could help them to master it."

He said he tried as quickly as possible to learn all the students' names and usually had them memorized by the third week.

"If I sensed a student was lagging, I'd encourage them," he said.

Hughes said she encourages any former student to donate to the endowment, and stresses that this is an honor that will live on forever.

"Our hope is at the spring awards banquet, we could announce the recipients," said Hughes.

Plans are being made for a reunion this summer for all of Richardson's former students.

For more information about the reunion or to make donations to the scholarship, contact the UCO Foundation office at 341-2980, Ext. 2770.

Band makes music a piece of cake

L

ast week, while everyone was jumping into cars, hopping on planes, getting out of Edmond for spring break, I was patiently waiting... waiting for the Cake concert.

Cake, a jazzy, funk, rock 'n roll band, played to a sold out crowd at the Diamond Ballroom, March 17.

Cake is fast becoming widely recognized with songs from their latest album, Fashion Nugget. "The Distance" and their remix of "I Will Survive"

by Gloria Gaynor, are their two biggest hits.

How could I leave town after winning free tickets off the radio? I'm not one to pass up anything free. Other plans like visiting my family and flying to Denver had to be put on hold a few days, until after some Cake.

While being frisked in the entrance at the Diamond Ballroom, I saw a strange man wearing a black, wide–rimmed hat with wired green St. Patrick's day clover leaves wrapped around the rim. We made eye contact and he smiled

at me, a strange almost laughing smile. I smiled back, intrigued by this odd fellow, but continued to walk in.

About an hour later when Cake walked on-stage, I was greeted once again by that odd fellow's face– he was the lead singer of Cake, John McCrea.

I suddenly understood the meaning of that silly grin on his face eariler.

The lead singer of this band was standing among a huge crowd of the same people had come just to hear him sing, and no one knew who he was. This is just a normal everyday looking guy, who enjoys his music.

McCrea told the audience he

has always considered their music easy listening. He said how odd it was to see guys out in the audience dancing wild while knocking women in the breasts.

Cake makes their music fun.

The trumpet playing rhythm and rock made the audience have fun. The lyrics were sometimes serious, usually silly, but always easy to sing along with.

McCrea got the audience involved, urging participation, telling stories, being a very down to earth guy.

This music can be enjoyed by all ages. On one side of me stood a couple in their late 40's (I asked), and on my other side was a 19 year old–both dancing around, singing right along.

Cake played music from' both albums, Fashion Nugget and Motorcade of Generosity.

They are an incredible band, with loads of talent, giving their audience a fresh new style of music to enjoy.

Singles play gives men's tennis edge over NWSU

By Phil Long Sports Writer Win one and lose one on the courts is how Central Oklahoma's tennis teams fared at home in a pair of matches against Northwest Missouri State Monday.

The Central men improved their record to 3-3, squeaking out a 5-4 win over the "Our doubles got us into a 2-1 deficit before our singles players came to the rescue," UCO head coach Francis Baxter said.

Defending NCAA Division II National Champion and Two-time All-American Charl Bornman continued his solid play defeating State's Jony Leitenbauer in straight-sets 6-2, 6-2in No. 1 singles action.

Karl Levanant (No. 3 seed), Mat Thompson (No. 4 seed), and Bobby Armstrong (No. 5 seed) also won their singles matches keying the Central victory.

"We had marvelous singles play today from Charl, Karl, Mat, and Bobby," Baxter said on Monday.

The Central ladies did not fare so well dropping 6-3 at the hands of State.

"We finally got around to playing some good singles, but our doubles was very weak," said Baxter. "We were down 3-0 before we got to the singles."

Sophomore All-American Jana Vnouckova breezed to a straight-set victory defeating State's Iva Kutlova 6-0, 6-1 in No.1 singles play.

National tournament ends six-year streak of UCO national champions

By D. J. Weidner Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma wrestling season came to a sudden end March 15 at the NCAA Division II National Tournament in Fargo, N. D., without any Broncho earning the title of "champion" for the first time since 1991.

Sixth-ranked San Francisco State captured their first overall team championship.

The Bronchos placed third in the meet. just barely edging by No. 1-ranked South Dakota State 67-65.

"Finishing in third place for the first time in 13 years is a little disappointing, considering that we finished in first for nine of those years," said UCO head coach David James.

Central Oklahoma sent eight grapplers to the tournament.

Leading the Bronchos were runners-up 118-Keith Kizarr, 142-Ryan Vratil, and 158-Matt Surber.

Junior Matt Goodson finished the tournament in fifth place in the 134 pound division, while 167 pound senior Mark Cunningham ended the tournament in seventh.

Lady Broncho softball off to slow start Central Oklahoma's softball team, preseason favorites to win the Lone Star Conference North Division, has been plagued by defensive problem early on this season. The Lady Bronchos have committed 20 errors in the

past seven games.

The Lady Bronhcos are 3-6 overall and 0-4 in the league.

Offensively, they are batting .324 as a team. Staci Dickerson leads the team with a .500 average.

"It was a little disappointing for Kizarr and Cunningham, because this was their last chance as seniors," said James.

Sophomore Brock Moore finished eighth in the 126 pound division.

Freshman Jody Marple did not place in the tournament, but it gave him the experience to go on for the next three years, said James.

"We finished the season with a record of 9-6 in duels," said James.

"This was a little disappointing, but it may have been caused by some of our injuries, like loosing Shawn Bateman in the 158-pound division in January."

Campus crime bill addresses stricter guidelines

et arrested for selling drugs in your hometown and you're likely to see your name in the newspaper. Get arrested for selling drugs at college and no one may ever know.

Due to loopholes and ambiguous laws regarding reporting requirements of campus crime statistics, information about illegal activities on college and university campuses often goes unreported.

Since 1993, the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) has worked to challenge restrictions of access to campus criminal records and proceedings.

As a result of a task force founded between SPJ and 13 other journalism organizations, a final draft of the Accuracy in Campus Crime Reporting Act (H.R. 715) was presented to the U.S. House of Representatives in February.

The Act focuses on setting reporting standards for colleges and universities that will ensure public access to vital crime information, thereby accurately measuring dangers in campus

communities.

Though the Student Right-ToKnow & Campus Security Act of 1990 required all federally funded colleges and universities to compile, publish and distribute annual crime statistics, school administrators continue to use loopholes to keep the information from the public.

One means of avoiding disclosure of criminal misconduct proceedings is through confidential disciplinary committees.

Confidentiality of such committees is protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. Such undisclosed actions result in campus crime reports that reflect inaccurate statistics.

If passed, the new bill will: • Require administrators and officials to divulge all crime reports.

• Change crime statistic categories to correlate with local, state and federal law enforcement categories.

• Require each federally funded institution of higher education to maintain a public crime log with names and addresses of persons cited or charged.

are being made for the annual Earth Day r. activities at UCO. The celebration of environmental awareness is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 22 at Broncho Lake.

Earth Day is important because it helps to "promote environmental awareness through education," said Dr. David Bass, chairman of the Earth Day committee.

Earth Day has been celebratated at UCO since 1991. Last year about 20 or 25 off- campus groups participated and about 10 campus organizations were present, said Bass.

There will be over 30 on and off-campus organizations at Earth Day this year. Participants will be distributing information on how to improve our environment.

The Earth Day committee will provide freebies like stress balls, Frisbees, orca squirts and kickballs.

If any student or organization would like more information on how to get involved with UCO Earth Day, call Bass at 341-2980, Ext. 5772.

action involving criminal allegations.

• Set sanctions against schools that do not comply with statistical reporting requirements.

"In short, this bill requires campus police forces to act more like local police forces," said Steve Geimann, SPJ president.

"The public deserves to know how a crime incident is resolved by campus authorities. We think campus proceedings should be open, too."

The national chapter of SPJ is encouraging student members, campus advisors and professional members to lobby Congress in support of the act.

According to Jennifer McMenamin, national SPJ campus representative at-large, the success of the bill depends largely on making journalists' voices heard in Congress.

"No matter how important this bill is...it's not going to receive the kind of attention that catches legislators' eyes," she said, adding that writing to state representatives is the easiest way to get attention.

Letters requesting Oklahoma congressman to co-sponsor H.R. 715 can be sent to the representative from voters' districts.

Tornado safety awareness increases survival rates

By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

B

udding trees and blossoming flowers aren't the only indications that spring has arrived in Oklahoma. Monday night's thunderstorms brought with them the season's first threat of tornadoes and reminders that these storms can be deadly.

Though it sits in the center of Tornado Alley, Oklahoma County has suffered only one tornadorelated fatality in the past 10 years. The Oklahoma Climatological Survey attributes this statistic to the fact that people in Oklahoma take tornado awareness seriously.

"Oklahoma has more tornadoes per square mile than any other state," said Howard Johnson, assistant state climatologist.

Along with media coverage and warning systems, knowledge of tornado safety procedures

keeps Oklahomans a step above other states when it comes to surviving one of the deadly storms, he said.

When asked what advice he would offer university students, Johnson said, "Every campus has a warning method and students need to know the signal and the shelter plan."

Intermittent sounding of city sirens is the signal given when a tornado is likely to strike immediately or within 15 minutes.

When students hear the sirens, take cover immediately, said Johnson.

A siren is located northeast of campus at the Edmond water tower.

On-campus tornado shelters are listed on the back of a tornado information pamphlet distributed by the UCO Department of Public Safety. Shelters are also listed on the back cover of the facultystaff phone book and in the UCO student handbook.

Students with low GPAs can sell themselves big, counselors say DELAND, Fla.—On her résumé, Stetson University senior Meredith Preuss boasts of her computer skills and biology labwork.

But there's one thing she's left off: her GPA. That's because, Preuss, 22, carries a 2.9 out of 4.0—not a grade-point average that typically catches a potential employer's attention.

"I know grades count but employers are interested in 'well-rounded' people," she said. "Someone who can't handle the stress or failure is a little scary."

Although many employers view a high GPA as a way to predict a success in the workplace, not every student graduates with a 4.0.

For students with a less-than-perfect academic record. learning how to tailor your résumé can mean a job offer and a rejection letter.

Rebecca Emery, career services director at Salisbury State University, says students should always focus on the positive on their résumé. That means, "if your grade-point average is well below the 3.0 level, leave it off," she said.

In some cases, the GPA in a student's academic major may be significantly higher

that the overall GPA. In such a case, students should include their major GPA on their résumé, Emery said.

For instance, Preuss plans to include the GPA in her biology major, a respectable 3.4, on her résumé when she applies for jobs in the science field. "That's the one that matters," she said.

Emery adds that students can even separate their upper level GPA from the overall GPA to show employers what they have accomplished in their last two years.

Top-end jobs, however, do look closely at your overall grade-point average, warns Michelle Ohayon, director of the Career Resource Center at Nova Aoutheastern University.

"Your grade-point average matters a great deal if you're hoping to work in a technical field such as engineering or in the sciences," she said.

"If you're going into journalism, employers are more interested in your writing samples. If you're going into sales, your personality matters more than your grade-point average."

Real world experience through internships, cooperative education or volunteer experience can compensate for

your grades, notes Ursula Hibbert, career counselor at Champlain College.

"Employers look at these as a true indication of ability," she said.

"A good employment history—even when it's not career-related—can show determination and a willingness to work hard in pursuit of goals."

Students should use their college's alumni network to help them get over the low-grades hurdle," says Will Smith, career services director at Wartburg College.

"That way professors who are familiar with your abilities can make recommendations to alumni which may help you get your foot in the door," he said.

Of course, the best track to take is to have everything: strong academics, activities and experience, says Frank J. Kollar, director of career development and placement servoces at Mansfield University.

"The bottom line is that if your grades are lacking, you better have something else of significance to offer an employer," he said.

Clinton plans 'army' of college tutors to battle illiteracy

By Adolfo Mendez College Press Service

SAN FRANCISCO—Why can't Johnny read?

Because he doesn't know the alphabet.

At least that's what 24-year-old Jennipher Zeffaro discovered when she tutored a first-grade class in Haywoard, Calif.

"A couple of kids...were really far behind," recalled Zeffaro, a senior at San Francisco State University.

"They didn't even know their alphabets so they certainly couldn't read at a first-grade level."

Zeffaro, who wants to be an elementary school teacher, said she tried all she could to help the two children Tuesday and Thursday mornings, her scheduled days to volunteer.

"One child improved, the other had too may behavioral problems," Zeffaro said.

In fact, some 40 percent of American children are not reading at their age level by the end of third grade.

By working as a tutor, Zeffaro spent last semester doing what President Clinton wants to see duplicated nationwide in September.

The president said he hopes to enlist 100,000 college students in his "army of tutors" to help combat literacy problems in America.

But unlike the case of Zeffaro—who was strictly a volunteer—Clinton seeks to tap into college work-study funds to pay students who get involved with the tutor program.

Last fall, Congress boosted college work-study funds 35 percent to $830 million, creating 250,000 new work-study positions for the 1997-98 academic year.

Clinton is asking, not mandating, that schools use at least 50 percent of the n new money to implement the college tutoring plan, called "America Reads Challenge."

While schools are not required to use the funds to set up student tutor programs, they do have a financial incentive to comply.

That's because under current workstudy rules, schools receive 75 percent of

I guess any way you can get people into the classroom to help these kids would be good.

—Jennipher Zeffaro San Francisco State University student

the wages for a work-study student from the federal government, but must match the remaining 25 percent. The federal government would pick up the full tab when work-study students are placed as reading tutors for children.

San Francisco State has announced that it will devote the entire amount of its work-study increase, about $180,000, to college tutors.

The university's president, Robert Corrigan, heads a committee of 21 university presidents set up to devise methods to implement the tutoring program.

The group includes the presidents of New York University, Georgetown University, University of North Carolina and Ohio State University.

In, all more than 70 universities have pledged to participate in the "America Reads" program.

Aside from devoting a portion of work-study funds to pay for reading tutors, the universities must agree to encourage students who aren't in the work-study program to also volunteer.

While many universities are content to accept additional work-study funds with no federal mandates about how to run the tutoring program, some educators are concerned about whether the program will truly work.

"It's a good thing to get college students involved in tutoring. It's just that there's no chance at all that it will actually solve the literacy problem," says Robert E. Slavin, director of the Center

for Research on the Education of Students Placed at Risk at John Hopkins University.

"It's hard to imagine why kids would be in school six hours a day, not learning to read and all of a sudden a college tutor comes a couple times a week and the kids learn to read," Slavin said.

"It's not realistic."

Slavin says the Clinton plan ignores research on how kids learn to read, and he criticizes the administration for not putting an emphasis on solving problems in the classroom.

"What is fundamental is not what the tutors do or what the parents do. To have ineffective instruction all day is at the heart of the problem," he said.

"I think there's a big job to be done in terms of giving teachers better teaching materials," he said. "A lot of teachers could use a lot of help in 'classroom management."

Teachers say they're worried college students might be taking on too large a task.

"We are all very concerned about how far they expect the tutors to go in what is a pretty highly skilled role," said Mary Bergan, president of the California Federation of Teachers.

"It would take more than 100,000 adults or half-way grown-ups to take on the role," Bergan added.

College students also may have to grapple with the controversial issue of what's the best method for teaching reading, says Marsha Nye-Adler, an

education specialist at San Francisco State.

"Will it be the higher education phonics approach?"

Universities need to know what the (public elementary) schools in the area are using (to teach children)," she said.

Then, they should follow the school's lead.

Even if students are clear on the appropriate reading method, the Clinton program expects too much of college students, says Jennifer Schindler, principal of El Modesto, Calif.

"To require students to do this work is a bit much," said Schindler, who employs four tutors who are certified teachers.

"I'm not putting down volunteerism— we work with volunteer—but you get what you pay for I don't think that's what's going to take care of our literacy problem."

She added: "You need to have people who know what they're talking about to help these kids. It's a lot more than just tutoring.

Kids have a difficult time coming to school when they have problems at home.

So a tutor coming twice a week is not going to help."

But the program can work, insists San Francisco State's Nye-Adler.

"There are no (federal) requirements, no guidelines, nothing. So universities will organize their programs in the way that they see fit," she said.

"They'll use may models, work through may resources, to train college students to support children in the reading program."

Zeffaro, the San Francisco State senior, says college students can make a difference.

"I guess any way you can get people into the classroom to help these kids would be good," she said.

But she said not every student is cut out to be a tutor.

"There are certain people who don't belong in a classroom helping kids," Zeffaro said.

"They're the ones in it for the money. I tutored because I was really interested in being in the classroom helping kids." .4D

Internet training courses available for students interested in designing web pages

I

n an effort to keep pace with a rapidly changing job market,

many universities have begun training students for the hottest profession of the '90s: Webmaster.

Rather than offering Internet training as part of a computer science course, universities are teaching students how to design web pages by combining theories of mass communications, visual arts, even organizational psychology—all with a technology spin.

The result is that student Webmasters are getting job offers even before their diplomas.

Douglas Karabasz, for instance, already was building web pages for a Cleveland-based computer firm before he graduated from the University of Dayton in December.

Karabasz, a visual arts major, said he wasn't excited about the Internet until he took an interactive design course last winter, the first time it was offered at UD. "I didn't have much interest in the web then," said Karabasz, who now works on marketing the company's site.

"Now there's not a day that goes by that I'm not on it."

At the University of Denver, a new degree program called digital media studies trains students to produce cutting-edge web sites.

The program is a collaborative effort from DU's School of Communication, the School of Art and Art History and the computer science department.

"We are all very committed to the interdisciplinary approach because we want to cultivate creative, technically competent, ethical and conscientious graduates," said Jeff Rutenbeck, director of Du's digital media studies program.

At MiraCosta college in California, the demand for proficient web designers is even closer to home. Student earn certificates in MiraCosta's new information and multimedia technology program by producing web sites for campus instructors.

Jeff Murphy, a visual arts professor who started UD's new design class, said he is having a hard time keeping up with the requests from campus offices looking for students with multimedia design skills.

The class sizes must be kept small because of the high cost of the multimedia software required for advanced design projects—such as incorporating video and sound into web designs.

"There is a heavy financial commitment for the university, but it's definitely necessary for success in the field," Murphy said.

Students work in teams to complete a design project for an academic department on campus.

Murphy said that visual arts students who have design skills often lack technical experience.

"If you are not from a technical background, it can be kind of scary," he said.

But most students pick up the basics of HTML programming language and learn to work within the strict limitations of size, font, color and downloading time, he said. A —By Colleen DeBaise College Press Services

Résumé Writing 101 or...

How to write an obituary for a living person

I

n the spring, a graduating student's mind turns to fancy. The carrot of a diploma dangles ever closer and with it the promise of employment and an end to poverty.

Almost as important, say the experts in the fight against poverty, is the résumé. In English, it is pronounced rezoom and means begin again, but here we job applicants must lapse into French. Roughly translated, it means "desperate for a job."

This is an informative summary of all the wonderful and impressive deeds you have done, or would like to do. The ones I have read resemble firstperson obituaries in the present tense.

Although the applicant is advised never to state he or she ever actually died, unless it was while performing some heroic deed for your employer, the

language is still quite somber and resembles the usual sort of obituary in that the applicant, like the deceased, is or was the very most indispensable person alive. (Or dead, as the case may be.)

You are, say the experts, selling yourself. This should be easy enough for me, having been an ad major before I served time in one of the area "ad houses" and quickly changed my major, much to the chagrin of my dependents and major creditors.

But the glitch is you must stick to the facts, say the experts, rendering my first draft useless.

Also, you must limit your pedigree of accomplishments to those relevant to the field you hope to join, rendering most of the achievements of my life useless.

I revised it to read like this: "As a former world-class athlete and student leader from UCO, I would like to say how

proud I am to have been listed on the President's Honor Roll for my entire college career.

However, the experts tell me I must tell the truth and so I must

confess to having suffered life for an interim of 20 years before becoming a Serious Student, which inflicted heavy damage to my GPA. I went on to eloquently chronicle my trials in lurid detail until the poor reader would almost certainly give me a job, perhaps even their own.

I was fairly satisfied with my efforts until I showed the amended version to the folks at Career Development and Placement Services.

"Ms. Reinauer, the first rule of résumé writing is to emphasize the positive while never mentioning any shortcomings.

Rule Two, it should be brief, never more than one page or two at t most."

I assured her I would get right on i being that adherence to the fora sr would guarantee the latter.

"And here where it says Objective: in bold-face type, you

have put down 'Most Certainly.'

That's not what we meant. Just what is the position you would like to obtain?"

"Résumé Specialist," I offered.

Driving home that evening, I was inspired by my unexpected reaction to a common sight, a homeless middle-aged bag lady holding a sign walking with her three children, a Cocker Spaniel puppy and an elderly Labrador Retriever on the bridge of a down-town overpass.

"That's it!" This woman, after all, knew how to sell herself I reasoned as I rushed home to revamp my resurneonce more.

I returned to the experts the next day. The advisor took out a large black felt-tip pen and began to edit my résumé, making only one change before patting me on the head and showing me the door.

Now my objective reads "Will write for food."
