By Kelley Beard Student Writer Thanks to a new policy called "academic reprieves," students can cancel any one semester or any two consecutive semesters from their transcripts. The reprieve removes entire semester grades, which results in an increase in a student's grade point average (GPA). This policy was approved by the State Board of Regents as an optional policy universities could offer, said Paul Patrick, director of academic records. According to Patrick, a consecutive semester is defined as two back-toback, but not necessarily consecutive, calendar years. If a student wants to reprieve fall 1989 and fall 1991 and had no work in between, this would be considered consecutive, he said. Students must meet the following criteria in order to have the courses reprieved. -At least three years must have elapsed between the period in which grades requested for reprieve were earned and when the reprieve was requested. •The student must have maintained at least a "C" and a minimum of 12 hours,

Teacher evaluations: By Kelley Beard Student Writer Students are asked to fill out instructor evaluations each semester. But what good do these surveys really do? "The original policy for evaluating faculty by students states, 'every faculty member would be evaluated but not every semester, — said Dr. Michael Shirley, assistant dean of the College of Business. According to the policy, adjunct (part-time) instructors are evaluated every semester and full-time instructors are on a rotation basis. The Office of Academic Affairs retains a list of faculty members on rotation and provides a list each semester of who is to be evaluated, said Sharon Lowery, secretary to Dr.

Judith Coe, assistant dean. If a faculty member is not on the rotation list for a particular semester but wants to be evaluated, they always have the option to ask for an evaluation packet, she said. After students fill out the survey, the form is sent to the Testing and Correspondence office for analysis. The results of the analysis are returned to the dean of each college, the department chairperson and the evaluated instructor. After the semester ends, the written comments are reviewed by the chairperson of each college and the instructor who was evaluated, Lowery said. The results of the evaluation are used to help determine reappointment and tenure track appointments of a faculty member, said Dr.

Consortium to Restructure Education through Academic and Technological Excellence. The project is the combined effort of 12 institutions—UCO, Francis Tuttle Vo-Tech Center, Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) and nine high schools.

"This (the program) will smoothen the transition one makes from high school to junior college to senior college and perhaps to the (vo-tech) center," said Linda Norton, director of continuing education at UCO.

CREATE opens lines to low-cost progress How would you like to be one in a classroom of perhaps 100 students and still receive individual attention? Or make friends with students from other schools across the state without meeting them in person at all? Or have your pick from a diverse menu of classes without fearing they'll be axed for inadequate enrollment? You will. The CREATE program—to commence this summer—will propel UCO onto the cutting edge of fiber-optics technology. For the university, it will open avenues into the uncharted territory of sophisticated two-way communications. For UCO, who is at least five years behind the University of Oklahoma in keeping up with technological advances, this is good news. We may not all be able to cruise the network via the Internet, but at least we'll get to log on to Live Interactive Video Education (12-LIVE). What is better news is that we do not have to pay for it. There will be no hikes in student, facility or technology fees because of this program (but regular tuition fees still apply). Renovations and equipment, which could cost as much as $60,000, are all funded with outside donations. The CREATE program will enable UCO to reap the benefits of progress and state-of-the-art technology at little cost and no capital investment, which it can hardly afford in the first place. This just goes to show that a little resourcefulness (on the part of UCO's Continuing Education) and cooperation can go a very long way. Education—which more than pays for itself in the long run—is made a lot less expensive (and indirectly, painful) because some people bothered enough to try.

Interim fee should be waived on breaks

ithout serving any food, the interim fee, $30. is an over charge to all on-campus students. In addition, if you paid late, you had to pay $5 more. Even though the UCO housing contract excludes both spring break and Christmas break, Christmas break is a monthlong vacation between two semesters, while spring break is only a one-week holiday within the semester. So, they might have some logic of charging for staying in the dorm during the Christmas break but there should not be any logical reason to charge for staying

in the dorm during the spring break. The present resident hall situation is worse than any other year in the last five years; moreover, the campus construction makes it worse. Increasing resident hall fees every semester and imposing different interim fees without improving the facilities in the resident halls only discourage the students to live on campus. And consequently, the number of on-campus students is going down, which also has an impact on the total number of students as well. Now, the total oncampus students is 671 out of 14,980 students, whereas in fall '94,

the total on-campus students were over 1,000 out of 16,000 students, which is the proof of this down sloping. However, if the UCO housing comes alive and takes action to improve the on-campus lifestyle, cancel any kind of interim fees within the semester and waives the Christmas break fee from the students who sign up for a two-semester contract at the beginning, it will encourage students to live on campus, which also will gear up the number of total students as a whole.

Concealed weapon bill alarms student

he article in the March 14 issue of The Vista about gun control really made an impact on me. 1 had heard nothing of this gun control bill until I had read this article. I don't know how Congress (whether state or national) can legalize the carrying of concealed weapons with so much at risk for people on the streets, and for our children. Even most policemen don't carry concealed weapons. And the consequences of discharging a concealed weapon are disastrous. Everyone knows that when it comes to mandatory requirements, where there's a

will, there's a way. If a person is unable to meet the qualifications for buying and concealing a weapon, he'll either steal one or find someone willing to buy one for him. We have enough problems with guns on the streets without arming more maniacs, and thereby making guns more accessible to underaged children. By legalizing concealed weapons, more people will be buying guns. This simply puts more guns on the streets. How can a police officer function if he has to worry about whether every person he stops for as traffic ticket might just get upset about it

enough to shoot him? With more parents carrying guns, children will be able to get their hands on a gun easier. No child should have the opportunity to acquire a gun, whether from a parent or other relatives. Children are not capable of making responsible decisions concerning guns. If more guns are available, more children will die from shooting accidents and gang-related shootings. Putting more guns on the streets, concealed or not, is simply asking for more trouble.

Humanities course teaches `female' perspective on philosophy, history of deity By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer "When God Was A Woman," an upper-class seminar about women in humanities, is being offered at UCO this fall. "As you know, we have no courses here that look at humanities from a female perspective;everything is usually maleoriented," said Dr. Siegried Heit, professor of humanities. "After my wife pointed out to me that there is a bias against women in humanities, I then, of course, saw the light, and decided that we needed a course that would focus on the contribution to civilization, philosophy and history on the part of women," Heit said. The course will focus on humanities, going back to the Near and Middle East; where goddesses such as Astarte, Isis and Ishtar reigned supreme, Heit said. "We will discuss Minoan culture. Here we have a culture where the important gods are the

females and the males are playing a secondary role. "Once the monotheistic religions like Judaism developed, with•the belief in one god, there was no room left for female goddesses. There was almost a complete eradication of women at this time," Heit said. "During this time there was an intense struggle between the Ancient Palestinians who believed in the one God and the Canaanites who had a series of gods and goddesses," he said. "We will look at Christianity that did not have any female gods until during the ninth and 10th century. It was at this time the Catholic Church felt the need and came up with the cult of the Virgin Mary — so now we have an indirect form, not of a goddess, but someone in between." The course will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:10-1:25 p.m. "After this, I will probably offer a survey course of women in the western tradition," Heit said.

Crosscurrents 7 scheduled April 19 By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Liberal Arts College classes will be pre-emptied from 8:40 a.m. to 1:40 p.m. April 19 for Crosscurrents 7, a symposium organized by NEWPLAINS Publishing Group and supported by the College of Liberal Arts. "The purpose of Crosscurrents is to provide students with an opportunity to present their research, their artistic works and give insights into what they are doing in their academic life," said Gwynne Hunter, director and executive editor of NEWPLAINS. "Many professors offer extra credit opportunities for reports and some classes decide as a class which presentation they would like to attend," Hunter said. Crosscurrents is organized along the lines of a professional conference or meeting that has sections of papers presented, she said. "The unusual thing about this symposium is that we do give students who are involved in the performing and graphic arts the opportunity to show their talents. It is an opportunity also for students to look into other disciplines other than their own academic curriculum, she said. Several departments will be presenting student's works. The art department will present an art show titled "On Hand Art Work By UCO Art Students." This year, the art department will present a varied selection of works, said Letitia Head, secretary

of the art department. Exhibits include Performance Art by David Van Nostrand, George Tilson and Friends. Elaine Gammill will be working with the potter's wheel and Keith Bowden from the Liberal Arts computer lab will present demonstrations on 3-D animation and 2-D computer illustrations, Head said. The Advanced Harmony Player, directed by Dr. Sam Magrill, director/advisor of the music department, will perform "Bagatelles for the 90's (Part 1)." This performance will represent the music department's seventh year of participation in the symposium. Each student member of The Advanced Harmony Players has written two compositions that will be performed at the symposium, Magrill said. Eight students from Dr. Siegfried Heit's Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale class will present their own politically correct fairy tales. "Fairy tales in the last few years have come under scrutiny for their social and moral issues, bringing them into the literary forefront," said Harriet Cederholm, a junior sociology major. "Each student will present one or two fairy tales that they have rewritten in a politically correct format," said Cederholm. UCO's symposium has grown by approximately 25 percent each year. Its success is unique, Hunter said. Other universities have tried this and have only had about three entries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which shows how creative and enthusiastic UCO students are, she said.

"These fares offer great value for our customers and very likely are the best bargains that they will see for the summer season," said Michael E. Levine, a Northwest executive vice president. Other major carriers generally match fare sales in competing markets. Northwest passengers must fly Tuesday, Wednesday or on Saturday afternoons between May 1 and Sept. 14 to get the full 50 percent discount. Discounts will he less at other times.

Dutch moves to restrict drug trade AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) The city of Amsterdam wants to halve the number of coffee shops allowed to sell hashish and marijuana. the latest move to restrict the flourishing Dutch drug trade. Authorities are rethinking their permissive approach to drugs after finding some "soft" drug outlets have been used to sell cocaine and heroin. Local authorities allow hundreds of coffee shops nationwide to sell hashish and marijuana in small quantities. Although drugs remain illegal, the Dutch have long felt that a non-prosecution approach allows easier monitoring by law enforcement authorities. But pressure from neighboring European states with tougher drug laws has forced a reconsideration. and Amsterdam has been shutting down coffee shops it found to be dealing in "hard" drugs like heroin and cocaine.

UCO's Special Collections/Archives will organize a program called Life Inside the Oklahoma Townsite Cases and The Run of '89, in conjunction with its completion of the Oklahoma Townsite Cases microfilming and indexing project. The program is free to everyone and will take place at 8 p.m. April 17 at Evans Hall Archives research and exhibit gallery, Room 103. "The Oklahoma Townsite Case Files are microfilmed

reproductions of about 100,000 documents accumulated by Federal Land offices after the Land Run of 1889 and the consequent land openings in central and western Oklahoma," said Mary Bond, archivist. The Townsite Cases depict stories about widows struggling to keep their homesteads, the moving of homes off their lots and the killings that resulted from fights among the homesteaders. These cases also document the establishment of towns and information about people associated with it in the late 1800s and early 1900s, said Bond.

Historian Dr. Stan Hoig will be the guest of the evening and will talk about The Run of '89: A Historical Perspective. Hoig is the author of Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889 and David L.

Dress code imposed in Rio's courts RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) — Revealing clothing has been outlawed at Rio's municipal courthouse because of one jurist's prudence. For years, it was common to see women at the courthouse wearing shorts, tube tops or T-shirts cut above the waist and below the breasts. Last week, Judge Helena Belc Klauser cracked down. No more uncovered tummies, thighs or shoulders will be permitted in the tribunal. It was a matter of decency, she said. Klauser also banished the miniskirt, which she said had gotten too mini for comfort. "How short is too short?" she said in a television interview. "If the miniskirt doesn't cover a woman's thighs when she folds her legs well, that's short enough." The new rules aren't thrilling women who work inside the courthouse, where air conditioning is feeble and indoor ternperatures reach the 80s.

5-year-old in remission from AIDS NEW YORK (AP) — Baffled doctors are struggling to learn how a 5-year-old boy apparently fought off an AIDS infection, and they hope solving the mystery might one day protect others. Researchers reported that a Los Angeles boy who was infected with AIDS at birth, and remained so for at least a month, is now free of any sign of the virus. Doctors cannot be certain the virus isn't hiding somewhere in the boy's body. But his continuing good health is additional evidence that the infection has disappeared, researchers said. The team that studied the boy was led by Dr. Yvonne J. Bryson, a pediatrician and AIDS specialist at the UCLA School of Medicine in Los Angeles. She believes she has the first carefully documented case of someone casting off all signs of infection. Bryson said researchers have no explanation.

UCO professor travels, views art on worldly scale By Farzana Razak Staff Writer For her love of art, Dr. Margaret Flansburg, associate professor of humanities and philosophy, has traveled all around Europe in her quest to expand her knowledge in the great works. With all her experience and sagacity, she finally settled to teaching at Dr. Margaret UCO. Flansburg After graduating with a bachelor of science in painting, an interdisciplinarian degree in Italian Renaissance studies from OU and a master's in Italian Renaissance Art from the University of Iowa, Flansburg said she was anxious to get a real look for herself at the original works. With that in mind, her first trip was a student-type trip around Europe on a U-Rail pass. Specifically, she went to Portugal, Italy, Spain and Morocco. "That was my first opportunity to see the real works," she said. In the later years, while her husband was an exchange teacher in England, she traveled extensively in France. She spent two summers in Italy studying the language. "Since then, I have been lucky to go back every summer on my own to do research," said Flansburg.

RESUMES

Because there was not an opening in the art department at UCO, Flansburg said she spent time in Michigan before taking a job as director of education in one of the museums here. Through contact with the Docent program, where volunteers are trained to give guides, she met with a volunteer who was also a part-time teacher in the humanities department at UCO. The volunteer recommended her to fill an open position in the department in 1980. While teaching art history, she began to work on her doctorate on the same topic. As a painter, I thought I could teach well as I knew how artists and painters work and feel," she said. "I gave up painting with no regrets in the course of studying art history." She said painting was never a

past time for her. "It was a serious professional activity," she said. "A lot of people don't understand that the work of an artist is like any other profession. You grow at it with discipline and objectivity." Some of her earlier works were abstract expressionism and expressionistic styles of black and white. known as Intaglio graphics. Flansburg's work has been exhibited in the Philbert Museum in Tulsa, the Denver Art Museum, the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, museums in Bristol, England and other smaller museums in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Iowa. She is currently working on three articles concerning Italian Fresco art with the intention of getting them published.

"I decided I did not want to sit behind the desk for the rest of my life and started a career in teaching," said Bednar. Her first teaching experience was in Woodward, Okla., at a high school where she taught six hours of typing every day. It was there that Bednar said she learned the true essence of teaching through her mentor, whom she remembers as Ms. Bartlett. "I remember every word she said, 'We have to teach not only the subject, but to grade students as the whole person."' Bednar, who received a degree in business education and a master's and doctorate in both business and management, has taught at the University of Oklahoma, Rose State College, Redlands Community College and Putnam College. Although she was transferred to Texas to conduct a research project, Bednar came home to UCO after one semester. "My students give me hope for the world," she said. "I like my students, they make my day."

CREATE continued from front page "The seamless education concept will be enhanced—and by `seamless' I mean without a lot of hassle," said Norton. UCO's participation in the CREATE program will benefit the university in several ways, she said. "Students can be at the same location for classes—they can save time commuting (to and from schools). "Teachers who are taking graduate education courses can also remain at school buildings without leaving. "And high school students who qualify for (concurrent enrollment) do not have to leave their schools during mid-day," said Norton. Other advantages of the program are the sharing of instructors among the member schools and the offering of low enrollment classes to other institutions, said Jan Powell, chairperson of the project.

Two million dollars were raised over a period of three years by the vo-tech as an investment towards the program, said Powell.

This policy allows UCO to reprieve courses from other universities as long as the student meets the requirements and is currently attending UCO, Patrick said. The semester(s) reprieved will still appear on a student's transcript, but the total undergraduate grade-point average will reflect the new computation. However, once a reprieve has been approved, it won't be reversed. For example, if a student is granted a reprieve and receives a lower GPA the following semester, the reprieve won't be canceled, said Patrick. Once a reprieve is granted, the students are sent a copy of their transcript which indicates the approval and reflects the new gradepoint average.

`Streamlined Air Force' looking for college applicants 99 By Robert A. Hart

Student Writer

Be part of the new streamlined Air Force. Downsizing has stopped, and the Air Force is now looking for the "best of today's college graduates and seniors." "College seniors who are 18 to 29 and have an engineering or mathematical degree would have no problem entering the Air Force," said Capt. Kent King, "But any degree would be acceptable." Prior Army, Navy or Marine service is accepted as long as the applicant has not been commissioned as an officer. Although the Air Force is meeting its quota of recruits on a regional level, the number of minorities is down, said King. To meet the minority requirements, the region needs six minority recruits. To date, only one minority student for Oklahoma and Kansas has enlisted. "All recruits must meet the same requirements," said King.

College seniors who are 18 to 29 and have an engineering or mathematical degrees would have no problem entering the Air Force. —Capt. Kent King

Unlike the Army, the Air Force will allow students to be commissioned as officers without the lengthy process of ROTC. However, a recruit must first go through 13 1/2 weeks of Officer Training School (OTS) and physical training, said Sgt. Edward Gadke of the Del City recruiting offices.

The starting grade would be E-5 Sgt., with a salary of $1,132 a month, then after OTS, recruits would be commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant with pay of $1,632 amonth. Recruits would also receive free medical benefits, three meals a day, living accommodations, one month of leave (vacation) a year and would be allowed to

travel anywhere in the continental United States at no charge and to anywhere outside the continental United States for $10 per person as long as space is available. During the past eight months, Gadke has been recruiting in Del City. He has processed, two or three applications from UCO with a few more applications pending. The Air Force is not only targeting college students but also alumni or anyone who has a four-year degree and is interested. Students interested can contact Gadke at 670-1866 or drop by the recruiting offices in Del City at 4600 29th St., Suite 525.

Kingsville pins losses on UCO By Scott Moore

Sports Writer Texas A&M-Kingsville did to the Central Oklahoma baseball team what the Bronchos used to do to other teams — beat them soundly. The Bronchos finished up a disappointing five-game, weekend series with Kingsville by being manhandled 25-8 Sunday afternoon at UCO. The 17-point defeat is the worst loss of the year for the Bronchos. The previous worst loss came just the day before when Kingsville nailed a 17-2 decision on the Bronchos. UCO would rebound to take the second game of the doubleheader 65. On Friday, the Bronchos dropped a doubleheader to Kingsville by scores of 2-0 and 3-2. The 1-4 showing against the Javelinas drops UCO's overall record to 14-14 and 1-4 in Lone Star Conference play. Kingsville improves to 20-9 and 4-1. "They're a great hitting ballclub," said UCO head Coach Wendell Simmons. "Their coach (Hector Salinas) told me that he wanted to come in and win one game. After they won the first game the pressure was off and they were relaxed and loose for the rest of the series. He told me this was the best game they've played all year." The series was a stark contrast of tight pitching duals and Kingsville offensive explosions. In the close games, the Bronchos received good pitching performances but the offense could not push runs across the plate when they needed too. "I think we pitched three great games against them but we just couldn't score any runs,"

AUTO INSURANCE Tickets? No problem! Accidents? No problem!

said Simmons. - I think we should have had three wins. If we win the first game (a 2-0 loss) then that puts the pressure on them and it becomes a different series." Loan Dollins pitched a complete game, two-hitter for the Bronchos in Friday's first game but the Javelinas countered with a two-hit, complete game shutout victory by Javier Leal. UCO also got strong pitching performances from martin Andler in Friday's 3-2 loss, allowing just two earned runs on six hits in a complete game performance. Brian Nichols pitched the only victory for UCO over the weekend, giving up five earned runs on five hits and striking out eight in a complete game performance in Saturday's 6-5 win. The losses continue UCO's mid-season slump. UCO began the year 7-0 and ranked as high as fourth but the Bronchos have gone 7-14 since and have fallen out of the rankings. "We're just not displaying any heart or guts at this point," said Simmons. "We've got all kinds of talent but we're choking it up. I think our guys are feeling the pressure of trying to repeat last year's success and they're scared they're going to lose. I've tried everything to get them motivated and to get their emotions going but I think I'm about out of philosophy."

In doubles action, Bornman teamed with Junior Brown for a win, while UCO's Daniel Akin and Sean Stuart were also victorious. The Bronchos are now 3-5 in duals.

Monika Wirthova, a freshman from the Czech Republic, was responsible for the UCO women's two wins. Ranked third in the Midwest Region, Wirthova beat Cameron's May Lee 6-2, 7-6 at No. 1 singles, and then teamed with Shelby McGaughey for a doubles win over Lee and Erika Consen.

Mu s ic REVIEWS Music provided courtesy of Randy's M&M's, 400 S. Bryant in Edmond —Reviews By John Clanton/ The Vista Music Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.

Toons release 'maniacal' record Those zany Animaniacs didn't stop by merely having the funniest show on television they now have a CD.

How not to pig out on a fast-food feast

Rating:

That's right, —Yakko, Wakko and their sister Dot Wamer just released Yakko's World on Kid Rhino Records, which is a label under Rhino Records. Fans of these three wild and crazy characters from ages three to adult will find themselves dancing the Charleston and trying to memorize this upbeat and crazy CD. Yakko's World features 13 fun-filled, hilarious songs that teach geography and history by putting lyrics about Magellan and the 50 states and their capitals to the melodies of old folk songs. The Warner brothers and their sister all share the spotlight as singers. The CD includes a new version

Eating out is often preceded by fickle decisions on what to eat and where to go. It's even tougher when friends or families cannot come up with a unanimous choice. But behind these simple brawls are some heart-healthy options to consider when choosing foods—if we intend to live to a "ripe old age." How can students eat out and still eat healthy food? According to the American Heart Association, when eating out, we should:

Animaniacs Yakko's World of the theme song and a song in which the speedy singer Yakko names all the countries in the world in less than two minutes. These three characters have good singing voices, even though

it is unlikely that they could sit through a music lesson that lasted for more than a few seconds. This CD is a fun way for children to learn and a good party favor for college students.

Artists Ramone to Ocasek play on CD In Their Own Words is a relatively new CD which features 15 artists, each singing an original song or a remake.

✓ Select restaurants that offer a varied menu. This is because you do not want a place that only serves high-fat meals. ✓ Select restaurants that you have visited before. This way, you'll be familiar with the menu and will also feel comfortable making special requests. • Select restaurants that will prepare food to order. Call ahead to find out if they will cut the fat used in cooking. • Select restaurants that let you order a la carte. You can order what you want without all the extra fat and calories. • Decide what you want to eat before getting to the restaurant so that you are not swamped by the extensive menu listings. ✓ Don't skip meals when you're planning to eat out later because you may be too indulgent if you arrive at a restaurant hungry. What kinds of food are best to stay away from? Some likely heart stoppers include foods that are labeled as: ✓ • • ✓

Rating: lur BOTTOM LINE, Recorded live at The Bottom Line Bar, In Their Own Words is hosted by Vin Scelsa. Scelsa calls the CD "a bunch of songwriters sittin' around singing." Before every song Scelsa interviews the artists. There are songs by artists such as Joey Ramone, Dion, Ric Ocasek, Luka Bloom and Fred Koller. This CD has some very good songs and some songs that leave a little to be desired. The artists featured on the CD vary from rock and roll to country and everything in between, so there is something for everyone.

au gratin, Parmesan, escaloped, in a cheese sauce creamed, in a cream sauce, hollandaise crispy, sautéed, fried in butter sauce, buttery What foods should students look for, or what good habits should students exercise when eating out? Look for entrées that are listed as:

V broiled, grilled or baked • in its own juice, in lemon juice or wine

V steamed

Various Artists In Their Own Words One of the highlights of the CD, however, is Joey Ramone singing "I Wanna Be Sedated," during which he sounds like he

is sedated. In Their Own Words is a good CD and worth the $9 the listener will likely spend.

✓ poached • Most importantly, stop eating when you're full. At McDonald's, a McLean Deluxe carries only 10 grams of fat. Choose a Filet-O-Fish without tartar sauce and you'll strip away 16 grams from the usual 26. At Wendy's, look for the Grilled Chicken Fillet, Jr. Hamburger, plain baked potato, chili, prepared salads and Salad Bar with low-fat dressing. At Kentucky Fried Chicken, look for the Original Recipe drumstick, corn on the cob, green beans, mashed potatoes and cole slaw.

Following guidelines for committee selection these positions shall be appointed to serve: the Vice-President of Student Services shall serve as Chair of the Committee; the controller; the computing center director; and representatives including: a user representative of the student services division, a library representative, a faculty senate member, representatives from each of the undergraduate colleges, and a minimum of six student members. This University STF Committee approves allocations of all STF funds, may reapportion STF funds as necessary to support student needs, and will provide procedures for processing of STF funding requests.

2. All administrative departments and all undergraduate colleges whose technologies are supported by the STF shall annually submit a plan for expenditure priorities to the STF Committee. Each unit shall establish a representative body to ensure that the needs of all students they serve are met. All participating members of this body must sign this annual report indicating support of the plan or otherwise indicate what their dissenting views moy be. Alternative suggestions may be submitted by individuals not officially representing these units. Final approval to allocate funds or to reallocate unused funds is the responsibility of the University STF Committee.

3 All administrative departments and all undergraduate colleges whose technologies are supported by STF funds shall submit an annual accounting report of STF funded services, usage, and expenditures for information consolidation and dissemination. Discrepancies from the previous years annual plan for expenditure must be explained, and if in violation of STF policy, continued support may be jeopardized. The VISTA, and anyone seeking to view the technology progress made on campus due to STF funding, shall be provided the submitted annual plans and reports as well as any reports issued by the University STF Committee. 4.To provide quality of technology service to students, it is necessary to maintain compatibility among telecommunications and computer systems on campus. Therefore. it is the responsibility of the Computer Center to create and maintain communications standards. All systems funded for student use from the STF funds are required to meet these standards.

•

5.During the initial two years of the STF implementotion, the Telecommunications and Computer Center staffs will have a heavy workload placed on them. Success of this plan depends on their guidance, involvement, and implementotion of a campus network. In the setting of University priorities, continued support for the campus network is required. 6.The goals and proposed architecture specified in this document are intended to span many years. However, the adjoining spreadsheets provide specifications for only two years of new and revised student services. During this two year period, product substitutions are allowed only when more effective products become available, and only with prior approval from the University STF Committee.

How The $4 per Credit Student Technology Fee Applies Most courses that currently charge a lab fee for computer and laboratory equipment use (failing within the allowed categories in item 7 of the "Restrictions" section) will no longer have a separate charge. All UCO courses will be encouraged to include computer use

•

Otherwise. the University STF Committee should follow the proposed allocations for this two-year period, with one exception: if demand for off-campus access becomes greater than anticipated and it is necessary to provide more ports (specifically, to purchase modems and telephone lines) to access University services, then the STF Committee, by a two-thirds vote, con reallocate funds to resolve this situation. After the two-year period, keeping in mind the original goals of this plan and the support provided to UCO students, the University STF Committee has the continuing responsibility to oversee and prioritize plans for future services and funding allocations.

Courses charging fees for equipment and suoplies not falling within the allowed categones are not entitled to use Student Technology Fee (STF) funds and will need to continue charging current fees

7.The following is a list of currently allowed expenditures: What's Allowed

What's Not Allowed

Computer software peripherals and computer supplies for students.

When a course requires the use of an excessive amount of allowed equipment and supplies, the college may request an additional fee be charged for that course following University guidelines and with STF Committee Approval.

Computer peripherals software and computer supplies for anyone other than students.

Computer furniture for students.

In addition, at times. the University might wish to offer new or ennanced services to students. When a service is either too expensive to be supported by STF funds or is of interest to a select community of students, then it may be subsidized or offered on a pay-Per-use oasis. An example of this type of service in the current proposal is art'c:e retrieval using fax-on-aemard.

Remodeling of buildings.

Multi media for students and student classrooms.

Multi-media for faculty and administrative offices and facilities that are not openly available to students.

Networking costs for student computing.

Networking costs unrelated to student use & equipment.

Personnel costs and training materials to support the above computer services. Equipment for instrumentation labs used by and openly available to students,

Personnel costs and training materials not associated with the above allowed services. Supplies for instrumentation & non-computer labs

•

Limitations of Student Use 1. The services provided by a Student Technology Fee (STF) are for use only by currently enrolled students. These services cre limited to educational purposes only. No reselling of services or using These services for other than assigned and legitimate school activities is allowed.

LIBRARY Hardware for Infoshare/Paclink Infoshare software for networking data bases Site licenses for networking data bases such as Psychlit, Eric, Cinahal, Business Periodicals Index and other data bases Existing maintenance for CD ROM on line data bases

2. Use of these services is subject to the student completing an "Agreement of Conduct and Use" form. 3. Limits or restrictions on use of various services will be determined in order to stay within budget and to equitably allow use among cll students. 4. Services provided as a resuit of the STF are contingent on adequate funding, product availability, and campus construction projects. Some services may be introduced in phased steps in order to start the majority of service as soon as possible. The STF does not fund the completion of the campus communication infrastructure; however, the implementation of some STF services depends on the network's completion.

• • •

5.The amounts budgeted for the first two years are subject to change depending on the actual amounts collected. Proportional decreases will be made across the board for any shortfall. Money in excess of budget will be distributed as follows: 50% to colleges, and 50% to be distributed by the STF committee between two needs. First, the STF Committee should allocate additional funds to increase the number of modems and lines for off-campus access. Second, after consideration of the first, any remaining excess funds may be used to offset some E & G expenses for student technology already provided by the University. • " •
