The Student Voice Since 1903

Faculty voice concerns over summer pay By Iris Knight Staff Writer During the March 9 Faculty Senate meeting, senators reviewed a resolution and voiced concern over the continuance of the 1968-69 order to cut summer faculty salaries by 20 percent. The measure was originally designed as a temporary effort to employ enough teachers to effectively teach summer classes. "Twenty-eight years ago, full-time faculty voted to take a cut in pay, so more people could have jobs," said Dr. Stephen Law, president of the Faculty Senate. "The faculty has been dealt a financial blow in the past from which it has never recovered," he said. In an effort to clarify the current problem, Dr. Franklin W. Simons, Faculty Senate senator, drew up a list of his summer contract salary amounts. His 1969 through 1993 personal salary cut contribution to the temporary proposal was $14,949.

Administrative costs at 'all-time low,' report finds By Iris Knight Staff Writer

Compared to the national average and the surrounding states, a recent study by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) found Oklahoma college and university administrative costs at an all-time low. The study reported a reduction in administrative costs from 11.9 percent in 1991-92 to 10.3 percent in 1994-95. The Oklahoma figures were below the national average of 12.9 percent and the 12.2 percent of the surrounding states. According to guidelines set by the National Association of

College and University Business Officers, administrative costs must refer to expenditures related to the central administration. Administrative costs include: • expenditures for central executive-level activities • fiscal operations • administrative data processing • space management • employee personnel and records • procurement, safety, security, printing and transportation services • faculty and staff support services that are not operated as auxiliary enterprises • activities concerned with community and alumni rela-

tions. In a continued effort to cut college and university costs, OSRHE plans to eliminate administrative positions and to reduce costs associated with administration, said Chancellor Hans Brisch from OSRHE. "In 1989, Oklahoma higher education began implementing the Plan for Academic Excellence and Efficiency. As part of that plan, Oklahoma colleges and universities have identified and shifted resources from low priority needs to higher priority academic programs and student services and have tightened administrative costs," he said.

LETTERS

Honest citizens should bear arms too

Appeals process slows down justice Thomas Grasso was executed at the beginning of spring break. He was a convicted killer in two states. Both times, he used an electrical cord to strangle his victim for a little cash. Oklahoma decided he deserved to die. He waived his right to all appeals and therefore decided for himself that he deserved to die. He did. Every year the Oklahoma Department of Corrections spends thousands of dollars on each criminal to either "rehabilitate" them and prepare them for society or to merely protect society from them, making them examples to other criminals. A death-row inmate, on average, can spend seven years in prison exhausting all forms of appeals, costing the state up to $25,000 a year for the provision of food and shelter. The system of appeals exists to protect the innocent from wrongful death and the system of capital punishment exists as a deterrent to murderers. Yet, in cases where guilt is not disputed, the process of appeals simply holds up the wheels of justice. If the appeals system is abolished, more innocent people may die. If capital punishment is abolished, criminals may not fear the consequences of their crimes. Justice is no longer swift. A trial may last for weeks, months or even years before a verdict is handed down. From that point, the appeals system springs into action. By the time a convict reaches his final appeal, he has consumed taxpayers' money; he has begun to learn how to fit into society through rehabilitation; and he has become a ghost to most of society, including to those his death should have deterred. The system doesn't work. It's obvious. Even when a death-row inmate gives up his chance at freedom, the system won't let him die until he is almost forgotten. If capital punishment is going to act as a deterrent, when a person sentenced to death does not ask for freedom, time should not be wasted. Kill him quickly while the memory is still fresh. A

would like to reply to your editorial concerning the impending gun law. Though the constitution does clearly state the right to bear arms, I do not wish to argue that point. What is important is the fact that the right of the average citizen to carry a concealed weapon will do more to prevent violent crime than any other action previously proposed. The law is based on the fact that violent crime has dropped 70 percent in Florida since the initiation of such a law. It is foolish to restrict honest people from the right to protect themselves from harm. Criminals always have, and always will, carry concealed weapons. I think it's about time that we even the score. We can no longer allow fear and ignorance to immobilize us, thereby making us easy prey for the criminal element. As for gun safety, you mentioned that children will be more likely to be hurt if this law is passed. Common sense should tell you that if a parent is carrying a weapon, then it will be much less accessible than one found in the nightstand drawer. If you do not feel safe carrying a gun, you will still be protected by this law due to the fact that you might be. We as a people need to face our problems and learn to fight back. The honest citizen who goes through the trouble of legally purchasing and concealing a gun is not our enemy. The enemy is the rising number of violent criminals, most of whom will never receive a permit to carry a gun legally, and all of whom will now be taking their lives in their own hands every time they attempt to harm someone else. —Kevin Ruff UCO student

Alternative to gun control suggested

would like to comment on The Vista editorial, March 14. Regardless of personal opinion, guns are part of the American heritage. While I agree that gun violence is no answer to society's ills, I do not agree that competent, firearm-educated citizens should be denied the right/privilege to carry guns. It is well known that people who so desire will acquire, carry and use a firearm, regardless of the law. Also, I was not impressed by the wording used in "...not to just those who want to hide them." Who is to say that citizens want to hide their weapons? Maybe some would prefer to wear them at their hips like Matt Dillon or Wyatt Earp. I agree that legislation requiring all gun buyers to have training should go hand in hand with the "Oklahoma Self Defense Act." However, when buying a 12 gauge to shoot skeet or buying a 357 mag. to keep under the pillow—why would that person need a license to carry a concealed weapon? As far as police officers go—the tests and training they complete doesn't make me feel much safer around them in a tense situation than around any average person. Before I go on, let me clarify that what I am about to say is not meant to be an attack on law enforcement officers–as with any other profession there are the good and the bad. Someone once said on television that "officers are trained to shoot until the threat no longer exists;" shoot to kill in layman's terms. But what is "threat" and when is that "rare" occasion that firearm use is appropriate? "A last resort, period," you say. Remember Jim Owens—shot to death by police officers in his home for allegedly wielding a garden tool at them, his body so riddled with bullets his family could hardly recognize him; a young man in a central Oklahoma town—shot to death by police officers for allegedly breaking and entering and swinging a ball bat at them; more recently, a local doctor allegedly entered a police station and fired a gun at officers there, missing them completely. Each case is a tragedy in itself; one distraught man with a scythe or ball-bat is no match for several guns. It's senseless, all of it, but it causes hopelessness when our protectors are gunning us down in our hour of need. Like you said, "we should never leave an open door...there are lives being destroyed at the receiving end of every bullet." Understand that I am not trying to discount police officers. There is no chosen group that deserves to pack pistols, each one of us carries the burden of justice, the responsibility of education and the opportunity to forgive—herein, that "alternative" lies. —C.G. Hamilton UCO student

"What ifs" funding scenarios painted looked at your interesting note regarding state appropriation per student FTE received by UCO in 1993-1994. I would like to point out a couple of things: 1. When you compare your relative position with other schools, you should not count yourself. If you take out UCO appropriation from the total of all senior colleges, average funding per FTE comes to about $3,041.45. That means, if UCO had received the average state appropriation per student FTE of $3,041.45, it would have received $37,243,584, or an additional $8,972,429. 2. If we had received funding at the level of Langston, which received second lowest state support, we would have received $31,785,247, or an additional $3,514,092. 3. If we had received funding at the level of NSU, which is next in size to us, we would have received $34,204,918, or an additional $5,933,763. 4. If we had received funding at the level of Panhandle (we really should!), we would have received $50,618,519, or an additional $22,347,364. Hope these observations will help you in your noble venture.

Bronchos win 1, lose 1 to FHSU ended their surge. Trailing 5-4, the Tigers put runners on first and third with one out. FHSU first baseman William Grace grounded into what was ruled a double play when UCO second baseman Rodd Melton tagged second for the force out but was then knocked down on a hard slide by Chay Gillespie. UCO collected only two hits and committed five errors in the first game before getting eight hits in the next game with no errors. UCO opens a five-game, three-day homestand with Texas A&M-Kingsville beginning at 1 p.m. Friday.

Struggling Central Oklahoma split a doubleheader with Fort Hays State at home Tuesday, losing the first 3-2 but rebounding to take the second 5-4. The Bronchos led both games going into the final inning before FHSU staged comebacks in both games, succeeding only in the first seven inning contest when two runs in the top of the seventh propelled them to victory.

Hines, UCO take golf title By Scott Moore Sports Writer With senior David Hines and junior Jason Freeman leading the way, the Central Oklahoma golf team concluded spring break with a first place finish at the Pecan Valley Classic Thursday and Friday at Fort Worth, Texas. Hines grabbed medalist honors, shooting a combined 208 for the tournament. He had scores of 70 and 72 for the first two rounds but a final round score of 66 pushed him to the top. Freeman shot a combined 211 and finished third for the Bronchos. He rebounded from a 73 in the first round with a pair 69s in the final two. As a team, the 10th-ranked Bronchos shot 858 for the tour-

UCO also got a strong performance from sophomore Dustin York who shot a combined 216 and finished in a four-way tie for 13th place. On Monday, the Bronchos kicked-off the '95 season with a sixth-place showing at the Bear Creek Intercollegiate tournament at Dallas, Texas.

Sudan agrees to cease-fire from war KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Sudan's government has agreed to a two-month cease-fire in its war with southern rebels after mediation by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. Lt. Gen. Omar Hassan el-Bashir and Carter announced the truce in a news conference in Khartoum. Bashir also offered rebels a general amnesty if they lay down their arms. More than 1 million people have died in the 12-year war or in the famines produced by the fighting, which has pitted the Islamic government against Christian and animist southern rebels. Peace talks between the government and the rebels have not produced any results, and numerous cease-fires have been broken by both sides. On his nine-day visit to Africa. Carter had said he planned to seek a truce between the rebels and the government. The rebels took up arms in 1983, demanding administrative and economic reforms for the south. The main rebel force. the Sudan People's Liberation Army, has split into several factions, some of which have fought each other.

Merge creates world's biggest bank TOKYO (AP) — Two of Japan's largest banks have agreed to merge to become the worlds biggest bank. Stock and bond prices surged following media reports that Mitsubishi Bank Ltd. and Bank of Tokyo Ltd. had agreed to merge. Bank officials at first denied the reports. Their presidents announced the merger was in the works. "It's a good combination," said Tsuneo Wakai, president of Mitsubishi Bank Ltd. Mitsubishi is a leader in commercial banking, while Bank of Tokyo is strong in overseas operations and is Japan's leading foreign currency bank. Details still have to be worked out and discussions with banking authorities lay ahead, but the two banks want to merge by April 1996, Wakai said. If the merger goes through. the new bank will be the world's largest, with assets of 5814 billion and deposits of 5589 billion.

Colonel denies working for the CIA GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Breaking his public silence in a case that raises new questions about U.S. involvement in Guatemala, an army colonel denied working for the CIA or ordering the killings of an American innkeeper and a guerrilla who was married to an American lawyer. The accusations against Col. Julio Robert Alpirez were made last week by Rep. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., who also accused the CIA of covering up details about the guerrilla's death. The CIA has denied withholding information, but in keeping with its policy of not discussing personnel matters has declined to comment on whether Alpirez was an informant. President Clinton has demanded more information about the deaths and threatened to fire agents who withhold it. Torricelli, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, claimed that Alpirez, while an informant for the CIA, ordered the killings of innkeeper Michael Devine in 1990 and of captured guerrilla leader Efrain Bamaca in 1992.

BEIJING (AP) — An anemic panda in the Beijing Zoo ha s gotten blood transfusions from two black hears and is on the road to recovery, according to an official report from Beijing. The panda, Yongliang, is 2 years old. He is the world's first panda to be raised from birth by humans, the Xinmin Evening News reported. Keepers in February discovered that Yongliang had become seriously anemic, with his white blood cell count dropping from the normal 10,000 to 1,500. Under normal circumstances, Yongliang would have received a blood transfusion from the zoo's other pandas. However, it was the pandas' breeding season, and zoo keepers were afraid that taking blood from a healthy panda would affect its breeding capabilities. Pandas and black hears are closely related, and there was a previous successful case of black hears donating blood to a panda, the paper said.

He believed in the government and wanted students to pursue the field of public service," said Dr. Nancy Hughes, the executive director of the UCO Foundation. During his lifetime, Gragg was active in politics, working on several campaigns. In his community, he served on the Edmond Industrial Development Authority and chaired committees for the Edmond Chamber of Commerce. "We wanted to establish this scholarship as a tribute to Steve and his desire for people to

good government," said Saundra Gragg, his widow and also a UCO graduate. "Steve believed it was very important to have respect for government and to have a responsibility to it," she said. Gragg was employed at the Oklahoma State Vo-Tech in El Reno and Tri-Country Vo-Tech in Bartlesville when he died. "The Gragg family wants to encourage the community to give every year to increase the endowment," said Dr. Hughes, who helped his widow set up the scholarship. Hughes believed that the scholarship would be the gift that keeps on giving. For more information, contact Hughes at 341-2980, Ext. 2770.

erosity by making a temporary reduction a permanent feature of summer employment. The effect of the summer salary cut resulted in a reduction in classes offered, said Law. "I've had to offer less classes than previously because we're expected to maintain a certain dollar figure regardless of having a full professor teaching or an adjunct teaching," said Law. Each department receives a

static amount of funds for summer salaries to be divided up amongst the professors, said Dr. Terry Clark, chairman of the journalism department. Priority must be given to the teachers who have been here the longest. These are usually full professors, whose salary is at a higher rate than adjunct professors. Therefore they can offer only so many classes with so much money, he said.

"This is my contribution that was to be temporary, but has grown to this," said Simons. In 1993, President Nigh readdressed the issue and has brought salaries back up to 85 percent last summer and 90 percent this summer, said Law. The resolution reflected the Faculty Senate commendation of Nigh for his continuing efforts. It stated that they hope to have summer faculty salaries up to 100 percent by summer 1997. The resolution also stated that the past administration took advantage of the faculty's gen-

Sometimes it pays to tell people why you chose a specific career. UCO student nurse Allison Yates wrote an essay entitled "Why I chose nursing as a career," and won a second place prize of $500 in the 1995 NSNA/Nursing 95/Springhouse Publishing Co. Essay Competition. Yates has been invited to the NSA annual convention, April 5-9, in Charlotte, N.C. She has also been asked to be a guest at a special VIP reception preceding the banquet. "I had a pretty strong reason why I chose nursing as a career and thought I stood a good chance of winning," said Yates. In seventh grade, Yates met a girl called Angy. They were inseparable friends until Yates' freshman year in college. In her essay Yates wrote: "Angy got sick on that

Monday and the doctor told her she had an ear infection, prescribed her some medicine and sent her on her way. The following day, I returned from class to find Angy clinging to whatever she could to hold herself up and when I asked what was wrong, all she said was, 'Please help me.' "After a call to 911, the paramedics arrived four minutes later to find both of us in the room, except I had a pulse; Angy didn't. "Angy was in a coma for four days before she died. Not even the doctors knew why." Yates said, "Something happened then and I knew I belonged in the health field, and changed my major to nursing." Nursing department Chairperson Dr. Carol Swink, said, "We are very proud of Allison. "I have been here four years and this is the first time that any of our students have received this kind of recognition."

Student's future revealed • by Waukonis palm reader

Psyched out • By Marta McCloskey Staff Writer

Recently, a UCO student journeyed to a small Oklahoman town to visit her past, present and future—through the eyes of a psychic. UCO junior Pat Wheat gave in to her curiosity and visited psychic Mary Cain, a 74-yearold woman with snow-white hair and a soft, deep voice. Cain said her ability is hereditary. "When my mother's folks all got together, like at family gatherings, they all did this. Some read cards, some palms, others crystal balls and some were spiritualists," said Cain. Cain explained the differences between reading cards, palms, crystal balls and being a spiritualist. "I can see things in a crystal ball but I can't tell you exactly what they mean...for example; like seeing a beautiful oxen with a big collar around his neck may mean that the person is loaded down with troubles," she said. "The spiritual parts I do are automatic writings...for example there was a woman here the other day who had lost her daughter...the daughter told me to tell her mother that she could stop grieving...she had been in a car wreck...and that she was all right, happy and in heaven," Cain said. However, Cain said she usually steers people away from spiritual readings. "I don't like to tell people I do that because then everyone would want me to do it and sometimes it doesn't come true," she said.

I can see things in a crystal ball, but I can't tell you exactly what they mean...for example: like seeing a beautiful oxen with a big collar around his neck may mean that the person is loaded down with troubles. —Mary Cain psychic

Cain considers cards and palms her specialty. "The palm tells the story of your life. It tells your life line...your past life, your marriages and children," Cain said. "The cards (regular deck of playing cards) tell everyday things and maybe things to come in the near future...but not how things will be forever," she said. "I picked up on the cards when I was 14. The cards told me about people's lives," Cain said. Cain said she shuffles the cards and lays them out according to what the person wants to know. "For example, if a person wanted to know about (her) boyfriend, then the boyfriend would be represented by one of the people cards (like a king) and he would be laid in the center of the table...cards placed around

him would represent different things. If there were jacks all around him, it would mean that he was lying," she said. Wheat believed Cain was fairly accurate during most of her reading. "There was an instance where I had not told her I had children. She told me my son was very indecisive about school and that he wanted to get a job so he could buy a car. She was right," said Wheat. "She told me that my first child was a daughter and that I had a miscarriage between my first and last child (her son), which was true," Wheat said. "She also told me that I was in school still and that I work very hard, but that it would pay off in the long run," she said. Wheat said her impression of how a psychic would look and act was dispelled by this visit. "You always think of them (psychics) reading tarot cards. It surprised me when she pulled out a plain old deck of playing cards...I thought psychics were kind of like 'show people.' That they dressed flashy and did a lot of hocus pocus,'" Wheat said. "Instead she (Cain) just looked like your average little grandma," she said. Cain said there is no way to tell a legitimate psychic from a fake. However, she said the television psychics do not sound very psychic to her and they keep people on the phone so that they (the people) would run up a huge bill every month. Cain said she only charges $10 for a card reading and $15 for both a card and palm reading. However, because she is

Grasso's death, capital punishment `doesn't bother' UCO student leader Staff Writer

Twenty-two minutes after midnight on March 20, a lethal concoction of three separate drugs was injected into death row inmate Thomas Grasso, 32, at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Mason Goode, president of Delta Tau Chi, student chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association at UCO, said he had no "moral qualms" with the execution. "It doesn't bother me, but I do not think the death penalty serves its purpose," he said. Goode said one of the reasons he perceived the system as a failing one was because the appeals process took too long. Convicted killers may spend several years on death row before their execution dates are confirmed, and many may even have their cases repealed. "But if we speed up the process by cutting down on the appeals, we increase the possibility of convicting and executing innocent people," Goode said. Grasso's execution made it Oklahoma's fourth since the federal death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Grasso was convicted of killing 87-year-old Tulsa resi-

serving the death sentence in Oklahoma, said Adams. The next inmate slated for execution is Roger Dale Stafford, who took the lives of nine people in 1978 in an infamous killing spree that was dubbed "The Sirloin Stockade Murders." By Dec. 1994, 37 states have adopted capital punishment statutes (New York recently became the 38th ). Death by lethal injection is the "predominant method of execution," revealed a national update by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Other forms of execution are electrocution (12 states), lethal gas (eight states), hanging (three states) and firing squad (two states).

With a little help from friends in UCO's math department and a $75,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Dr. Weldon Wilson, assistant professor of physics, has been able to hook 20 computers in the physics lab onto the Internet. "We got the grant through NSF's laboratory instrumentation program. "The main thrust (with the money) was to get computers into the physics and math labs," Wilson said. The computers are set up in two labs for upper and lower level classes.

The idea initially was that students would be able to analyze physics data they collected during an experiment, Wilson said. However, the network has been set up so all physics classes can be taught with the aid of Internet. One of the online computers can be wheeled into a classroom, allowing data to be downloaded and shown on an overhead projector, he said. Students and professors can tap into a variety of subjects at universities world-wide. The labs can also be used when class is not in session, he said.

Keating discusses higher ed Gov. Frank Keating will discuss his views on the future of Oklahoma's role in higher education at a banquet sponsored by the American Association of University Professors. It will be held at 6:30 p.m. March 31 at the Ramada Inn in Norman. The banquet is part of a twoday statewide conference held to

allow those interested to discuss progress in higher education and to consider its future promotions. Sessions will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 1. Registration for the conference is from 5 to 6:20 p.m. tomorrow. For additional information or reservations, call 321-0110. 40

Apparently, the motive for the murder was robbery—$12 and a television set were taken, said Gerald Adams, spokesman for the Attorney's General Office. Grasso was extradited to Oklahoma from New York where he was serving a 20-year to life sentence for the murder of 81-year-old Leslie Holtz, said Adams. Like Johnson, Holtz was killed in the same way and for the same reason, he said. Adams said Grasso's execution date was set less than three years after he was sent to death row because he waived his right to all appeals. To date, 134 convicts are

Along the way, Hackett meets Pecos Bill (Swayze), Paul Bunyan (Oliver Platt) and John Henry (Roger Aaron Brown). These characters help Hackett save his family and town (Paradise Valley) from the greedy hands of the vile ringleader of the railroad barons, J.P. Stiles (Scott Glenn).

As a result this makes it hard to see the connection between scenes. Also the characters are not believable. The characters in Disney's animated flicks are more three dimensional than those portrayed in Tall Tale.

The only truly good performances were those of Babe the Blue Ox and Peco's horse, Widowmaker. Also, for a movie obviously intended for children there is a lot of gambling. A Tall Tale, The Unbelievable Adventures of Pecos Bill was released last weekend and is now playing at local theaters, but don't spend your money. Wait until it comes out on video.
