Office declared unsafe; faculty evacuated By Lisa Tatum
Staff Writer
O
ne UCO office has been evacuated and declared an environmental hazard and two others vacated due to high levels of bacteria and mold in the air. A "No Entry" sign and yellow caution tape was placed across the locked door of Room 101 in the General Classroom Building Friday. Don Powers, UCO director of safety and environmental control, declared the room hazardous after test results revealed that the level of mold found in the air in Room 101 was three times higher than levels outside the building and bacteria was more than 10 times higher. Powers said normal levels inside a building should be lower than the outside levels. Powers advised university officials April 1 that faculty members in Rooms 102 and 121 should be relocated. He said he made the decision because "the environment is not suitable to work in." Five professors with offices in Rooms 102 and 121 Room 101 of the General Classroom of the building were Building was declared an environmental in the process of hazard Friday.

klahoma lawmakers are considering a new bill that would require all residents to get a new license plate. If passed, the bill would authorize police officers to ticket anyone who has an Oklahoma driver's license but is driving a vehicle with out-of-state plates. This is in response to reports that our state loses up to $40 million a year because some people register their cars in other states with cheaper fees. By issuing new license plates to everyone, it will be easier to spot the out-of-state plates and those who haven't renewed their Oklahoma plates in several years. It's been 16 years since Oklahoma changed its plate design. The cost of issuing new metal plates to all vehicle owners in Oklahoma is expected to be about $3 million. The license plates are manufactured in prisons around the state. But will going to all this trouble really bring in $40 million in new revenue for the state? The people who have gone to the trouble of registering their cars in Texas or Oregon will find a way to bypass the new law and the rest of us will have to foot the bill for the new plates. 4

Professor questions charity success
B
rian Morton's "Citizen questions 'true' liberty and freedom" (The Vista 3-2797) contained points to ponder. One assertion (quoting M. Olasky) was, if not wrong, at least questionable: "The churches and charities were doing a pretty good job of taking care of the poor for centuries..."
The evidence seems to indicate that they were not accomplishing this task, which is probably the main reason that every Western Democracy became a welfare state—the U.S. being less so than most others.
—Dr. John George professor of political science and sociology
Student supports significance of science, mathematics in education n response to the letter written by Richard Matthews, I would like to give my opinion on the subject of the role of Mathematics and Science in education. I must first say that liberal arts classes are extremely important, for where would we be without knowledge of proper English and the history of our country? However, without a knowledge of how things work, we, as a country, would be going nowhere. I realize the subject of cloning is a terrifying concept, but that is not the only aspect of science and mathematics that exists. Science and mathematics are the foundations for learning. The purpose of higher education is not only to learn about a specific field. Higher education deals with many aspects of life, from how to speak and write correctly to how the human body works. If you believe that you should come to a university to learn only about, say, marketing, how will you understand the subject fully if you also don't understand why the mathematical equations concerning business are used? Or where they were derived from? It personally offends me that Mr. Matthews
I
thinks that "dabbling with chemicals" doesn't have an impact on social or political aspects of the world. The people who make a career of chemistry and biology are also the people who will discover a cure for the diseases that could annihilate entire countries. They are the ones who will discover the way to keep pollution from defeating itself, yet Mr. Matthews says that science and mathematics only play a small role in society and the world as a whole. We would be a nation of turmoil if we had never learned about how our government works, how to be competitive in business, or how to speak properly. I believe liberal arts classes are just as important as science and mathematics. However, science and math should not be ignored. The purpose of a university is to educate, Mr. Matthews, and the statement that science and mathematics have no real importance in society is just a cop out, for it takes a truly intelligent person to learn and understand the way things work.

Dr. Randy Brown, assistant professor of professional teacher education whose office is in Room 102, said being in the building has caused her to have headaches and throat problems for the past four years. Dr. Margaret Whittemore, professor of psychology, whose office is in the same room, said since moving to the office a year ago she has suffered bronchial problems. Whittemore said the four sickleave days she has taken in her 20-year career have occurred since she began working in the building. She said although her doctor told her he cannot specifically attribute her bronchial infections to the work environment, he has said it can be an aggravating factor.

In a memo to UCO President George Nigh, Powers recommended that the northwest corner of the building be shut down until it could be cleaned. The cleaning process will include removing contaminated ceiling tiles, scraping mold from structural beams, rinsing the area with 10 percent chlorine and spraying with Promine, a solution that prohibits mold growth. The clean-up procedure is scheduled to begin this week and will require workers to wear full air respirators. The project will take approximately three weeks to complete and will cost about $2,800, said Powers.

A rabbit habit: Some things never change
E
aster symbolizes a new start, rebirth and faith that things will happen as they should. The folklore surrounding Easter is sort of hard to follow and sometimes runs counter to the religious aspects of the holiday. . The story goes that Jesus, whom you might remember from Christmas, had to walk around in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, not knowing where he was or what would happen next, relying on faith to guide him out. As the parent of two teenagers I can relate. I have an eight-year-old too, but Michael has yet to figure out what an utter ninny I am, so we mostly go where ever I say we go, and do what I think should happen next. The faith is his. So after Jesus has walked around lost all that time, he comes upon a colorful rabbit who upon seeing Jesus, begins to lay colorful hard-boiled eggs and jelly beans. His disciples, (Jesus's, not the rabbit's) put on their new suits and bonnets and grabbed their baskets because, the rabbit began
acting funny. He began to hide the eggs from them. And that is why, even today, we erect small-scale chocolate statues of the Easter Bunny and put them in the baskets of our children. Then, after they have eaten five pounds of candy before breakfast, they are so hyper that we practically have to beat them up to make them put on their new suits and go to church, just like the disciples. I'm a mother, so it's easier for me to swallow the Easter story. It takes a certain amount of gullibility to believe that reproductive fact can overcome the usual laws of physics and nature. The kind of gullibility possessed by small children and women who have been pregnant for 13 months. Now that my kids are older, they no longer believe in the Easter Bunny. That is why I painfully and secretly go to ridiculous lengths shopping as if their Easter baskets held the Pentagon Papers. My 14-year-old, Jeff, was a particular challenge this year.
Jeff is at that age where he has one foot on a skateboard and the other on the floorboard of the car he is saving up for. It's a red 1969 Corvette with four-on-thefloor transmission and a modest stereo system like the one used at the movie theater where he has seen Return of the Jedi more often than he has seen his algebra tutor. The first Easter basket I made for Jeff, I mean the Easter Bunny made, was a lot easier to shop for. That's because I was 13 months pregnant with him at the time (Jeff, I mean, not the Easter Bunny). During my 12th month, his sister Lisa, a savvy four-yearold, and I attended a sibling preparation course. No, this class didn't advocate cannibalism of new-born intruders. On the contrary, it allows the first-born to be an informed member of the family, ready to deal with the changing dynamics and avoid rivalry. It was a moderate success. Jeff was 18 months-old before I heard Lisa say "I would never throw Jeffy off the top of the house. Oh, no, he's too cute."
I could tell by the way she clamped her lips down over her gap-toothed grin of delight that this was exactly what she wanted to do. But it was a full four years before they would begin to hate each other with any regularity. Jeff is harder to please these days than on his first Easter, when he was nine days old. He was happy as long as I held him and loved him and did absolutely everything else for him. His basket held a pale green hard-boiled egg, a yellow baby chicken he would later, in a burst of two-year-old genius, name Chickie, and a mother's faith that all would turn out exactly as it should. Now that Jeff is a teen-ager, he would scream as if I were pulling out his toenails with pliers if I did that. As a matter of fact, he screams when I don't. His relations with Lisa have never been closer, though. They are drawn together against the common enemy, me. My will is a symbol of the childhood they have known, with all it's terrors and treasures. It threatens daily both to retreat
forever and to return and suck them back into the womb. Now, when he needs me the most, my son must break away. Jeff, is wandering in the desert of Growing Up, and the faith is mine. And I know, as mothers and other disciples do, that as hard as it is on both of us, that, as Jeff §aid when he was five, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." Sometimes rebirth is even harder than the first time around, but as before, I have faith that things will turn out just as they are supposed to. Just in case, this year, along with the candy and cash, I tucked Chickie in his Easter basket. 4

Cinderella was really a princess
Broncho quarterback takes first in track event
Cinderella or destiny? That is a question that can be asked about the University of Arizona, the NCAA Division I basketball champions. The Pacific 10 Conference runners-up entered the "Big Dance" a number four seed. Many people questioned their seeding saying it was to high. Well their critic's were wrong, the Wildcats overcame several obstacles on their run to the championship. It all began in the Sweet 16 when the 'Cats stunned many including myself, ousting No. 1-ranked Kansas in the upset of the tournament. The Jayhawks were picked by many including yours truly to win it all. The 'Cats then with no surprise defeated No. 10-seeded Providence in the Elite Eight sending the 'Cats to the Final Four. In the 'Cats national semifinal encounter against No. 1 North Carolina throughout the game I began to realize that maybe it is Arizona's year and they are a team of destiny. Well I was right! In the national championship game the destined 'Cats defeated No. 1-seeded Kentucky, 84-79, in overtime, giving the 'Cats their firstever national championship. The 1996-97 Arizona Wildcats not only the national champs but also a team of destiny. Sony Cinderella! — By Phil Long/Sports Writer

uring spring break the University Center Bookstore and Cornerstore, Union Station Express and auxiliary services moved to new locations in the University Center to make way for completion of construction. "Construction areas are roped off and marked construction areas," said Jim Hurd, the architect overseeing construction. "You're not going to shut down a building when you renovate it," he said. The bookstore and Cornerstore, and Union Station Express moved to the first floor from the basement. Auxiliary services moved to the second floor from the first floor, said A.K. Rahman, director of auxiliary services. Nothing else will move to the University Center until school is out in May, with the exception of the bank. This summer other offices will move, and by July everything will be in place, he said. Admissions and academic records will move to the University Center Room 124. Along with the bursar office that will move to Room 134, financial aid will move to Room 141, the graduate admissions office will move to Room 337 and international programs and services will move to Room 137, he said. Prospective student services and the scholarship office will both move to Room 136, and undergraduate academic advisement will move to Room 121, said Rahman. On

Here comes ice hockey
UCO students scrimmage with players from the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University at the new Arctic Edge Ice Arena in Edmond to prepare for the 1997 collegiate ice hockey season.
