UCO plans groundbreaking ceremonies

By Roy Howe Staff Writer A groundbreaking ceremony to kick off the University of Central Oklahoma's $52 million Master Plan is scheduled for April 22 with 22 campus sites chosen to simultaneously celebrate.

"We will have symbolic groundbreaking ceremonies at every place at the same time where a new parking lot is being created, where every new building is going and where renovations take place," said George Nigh, UCO president.

Administrators, faculty and staff met last week to organize the event titled "Run for Excellence," where a special projects coor-

dinator, Marilyn Smotherman, is under contract to organize the activities.

The group decided the campus locations will celebrate together at exactly 11:38 a.m., and participants are encouraged to listen to the university's radio station, KCSC, to ensure synchronicity.

Nigh said the concurrent observances can be celebrated a number of ways, includ-

ing cutting ribbons, breaking ground with shovels and releasing balloons.

The day of the event, classes regularly scheduled to end at 11:30 a.m. will conclude at 11:25 a.m., with campus police vehicles sounding their sirens as a reminder. Classes scheduled to begin at 11:40 a.m. will convene at 11:45 a.m. • See PLANS, Page 8

FReing tHâ‚Ź pRin: the fight against rape Many rapes go unreported, say victims, authorities

By Janet Runge Staff Writer

This is part one ofa four-part series about rape: the crime, the process, the punishment and the healing.

In this series, the individual and social effects of rape will be examined, including how technology and increased awareness of this crime is beginning to change methods of portrayal, prosecution and punishment.

Rape: The crime Forcible rape: The carnal knowledge ofafemale forcibly and against her will, including attempts.

Her name is "Sherri."

Raised in middle class America by a loving family, "Sherri" is intelligent, educated and a victim. She was raped when she was 12 years old.

Brutalized, violated and left emotionally confused and angered, she never reported the rape to the police. She never told her family or her friends.

She buried the painful memories deep within herself.

"In many cases the victim is hesitant to report the crime of rape to the police. The rigors of court procedure and the embarrassment caused by the

stigma placed on the crime has a deterrent effect on the victim's willingness to make the crime known to police," according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) Uniform Crime Report, 1992 In 1992, 1,156 forcible and attempted rapes were reported in the state of Oklahoma. From JanuaryOctober of 1993, 464 rapes were reported in Oklahoma City. Statistics from the OSBI show that the most common occurrence of rapes is in July, on a weekend, between the hours of 7 p.m. and 1 a.m.

One rape is committed every five hours, 38 minutes in Oklahoma.

Some studies show that over 12 million women have been raped in America during their lifetime, and one million women will be raped this year.

Dr. Harald Schweizer, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Central Oklahoma, spoke of using caution when interpreting statistics.

"When you look at the Crime Equalization Report, there hasn't been a significant rise in any violent crime because there is a certain dynamic that enables a person to report a crime," he said.

Schwiezer said that police officers have more training and particular courses to deal with crime issues than they did in the past, and state mandates requiring that certain crimes be reported are pushing up the official reported statistics.

UCO student directory proposal idea for SGA

hat if a student wanted to reach one of his class mates but couldn't because no phone number was available?

A group of students are studying or preparing an assignment for a class...they have partners...one of the students doesn't show up, therefore the student doesn't have the partner there and can't reach that student because no one has his phone number.

What happens to this student's assignment and grade?

If a student phone directory was available, this student could call his partner. The student could just look up his number in the directory.

If a student had a question about one of his assignments that was due that next day, all he would have to do is look up one of his dassmatets phone number.

The staff and faculty have a phone directory, so why don't the students?

According to Student Services, by the time they could get the information compiled for a student directory, it would be a new semester and the student's information might be different.

The university has a computer system, so the information should be readily available.

When a student enrolls, there could be a place to check on the enrollment form whether or nothe would want his name in the phone directory. It would be on a voluntary basis...either mark "yes" or "no." If students want their names in the directory, they pay a small fee to take care of printing expenses.

After each day of enrollment or at the end of the enrollment period, Student Services personnel could gather all the names that were marked yes and start on the directory. With all the names in the computer, it should not be that difficult to publish.

The directory could be done either every semester or every fall.

If the information changes, the students can just wait until the next directory comes out to get their ■ 1;1111 ' '11 i t The directory would incluk.1 the student's name, classification, major and telephone number.

Being a commuter school, there is a need for a directory. If one lives in the dorms, they can be easily reached because a student can get the information at the front desk. If a person needs to reach someone outside of campus, he can't.

Not only could this benefit the students, but it could benefit the university financially.

Why doesn't the Student Government Association propose a resolution getting the students this directory?

Isn't this what SGA does?

LETTERS

Reader agrees with editorial on attendance

T

his letter is in support of the editorial that appeared in the March 17 edition of The Vista. Like the writer of that most insightful editorial, I too take offense to instructors who seem to believe that it is their responsibility to mandate attendance (and in some cases even promptness) by effectually diminishing a student's grade by a certain number of points. I personally have heard such instructors attempt to justify this type of policy by saying, "I'm just trying to prepare you for the real world." To such instructors I would like to offer up the following information: I have been in ihg real world.

I am 32 years old, a husband and a father. I once served as a financial partner and occasional advisor in a profitable small business.

I have an excellent credit history, and I own my own home. Besides all that, I have recently come to conclude that my obtaining a college education is not only in my best interest, but in the best interest of my growing family as well.

This is not a decision that was taken lightly. Nor has our decision been without sacrifice.

But I suppose that certain instructors would fmd irony in the fact that we (my wife is apart-time student) have been able to accomplish anything at all without their coercive threats of lasting demerit.

So please forgive me if my next statement sounds overly flippant but — What in Heaven's name

makes these instructors think that I need their strong-arm tactics to motivate me in the pursuit of my education?

It's not my " mommy" who's

paying for this (who, incidentally, is also a student at this institution), but me! My money, my time, my endeavor. In short, I am here because I choose to be here.

To those certain instructors, the next time you're contemplating policy and how best to relate to your students, you j ust might want to glance up from that attendance book and take a little visual census of those around you. Chances are, a great many of us are wearing wedding bands, some of us are beginning to turn gray around the temples, and you're likely to see us showing each other pictures of our children. After you've allowed that to sink in a little bit, perhaps you'll want to update your perspective of that "real world."

Grad student offers ideas for funding

T

am a graduate student pursuing a master's degree in English literature. I was shocked to discover that my request for partial funding to attend a conference— at which I and several other grad students were presenting papers—was denied.

It has recently become university policy, we were informed, to allocate monies to only those programs that provide maximum (public relations?) benefit to the school.

Because of this, I decided to think of ways by which students pursuing academic activities could share money available to non-academic programs. With these suggestions, I feel that all aspects of university life could be enhanced.

1)Combining the football program and the graduate program, By combining these conflicting areas, a great benefit could be generated to both activities. The grad students could plan to attend only those conferences held at schools at which the Bronchos would be playing. The grad students could coach the team in witty and ironic slanders (free from dangling modifiers, incorrect subject verb-agreement, etc.) that would dumbfound the opposing team's offensive line.

2) Creating a UCO biathlon team, Like the biathlon, in which two unrelated sports are combined into one,.-the grad students and the track team could be combined to form a single entity. Grad students could run to the school at

which a conference was being held, present their paper and then run back. Those students giving papers that "missed the mark" would be required to run a penalty lap and re-present their paper.

3) Combining paper presenta-

tions with the wrestlinQ program.

After a presentation, the grad student would be required to wrestle the professor into admitting that the question was deliberately nebulous and a ridiculous attempt to cover up insecurities.

These ideas are not yet concrete. I would appreciate any other ideas to help promote the academic interests of UCO students.

Alumna gives bit of history

I

.

'm writing in regard to a Vista paper, publishedNov. 3, 1960.

This is concerning cigarette ads making it possible to have a paper— without the half page ad of New Dual Filter Tareyton cigarette to have a paper.

Here is the letter I wrote on that date: "Dear Editor, I enjoy reading the school paper, The Vista. I love Central State but am disappointed in this little paper, when out of four papers, nearly one-half of the paper was covered with a cigarette ad.

With all the wonderful records Central is making, couldthis space be used for a better purpose?

I am not a radical (I'm a teacher), but I have two children in college, have gone to Central and loved it.

I do hope better things that are published could fill this space.

Let's keep America strong.

-Worker with Youth"

"Dear Worker with Youth, Each year The Vista receives two or three letters from readers, saying we should not use cigarette ads. Each year the problem comes up as whether or not to use them.

Income from these ads is 98 cents per inch, one ad is almost enough to pay for printing one issue. Total cigarette income each year amounts to nearly $1,800. We do not like to turn this money down, consequently, we accept the ads on a yearly contract basis.

Higher education in Oklahoma is supported to a large degree with cigarette tax es also —we do need the space occupied by cigarette ads for news, but we also have to be realistic about money on which to operate the school paper.

-Vista star I know by experience, I lost my husband to a heart attack while mowing the lawn at the age of 70..

He was a very heavy smoker, and I feel this was what caused his death.

I am alone at the age of 88. I live in the Hugerley Place Retirement Center, Ft. Worth, Texas.

I want you to know my brother, nephew, son and daughter got degrees from Central .

I have since had great nephews enrolled at Central, and you can see that it has helped to educate just one family. You can also see why I love the University of Central Oklahoma.

Last blood drive of semester to be held today, tomorrow at UCO

By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma Bloodhounds will sponsor its final blood drive of the semester today and tomorrow in the University Center Ballroom A. The blood drives usually receive an average of 113-148 pints of

blood each drive, which are held four times a year.

"It depends on the time of year, donations are usually low during cold and flu season," said Kelly Smith, staff sponsor of UCO Bloodhounds.

"Giving blood is not a painful experience," said Smith. "I think that most people don' t get involved until someone they know needs blood. Someone needs blood ev-

eryday."

"It's a humanitarian thing, helping someone out you usually don't know," said Smith.

As far as people' s fears of contracting AIDS, Smith said, "You can't get AIDS from donating because everything used is brand new."

The drive will be held from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 5 p. m. tomorrow.

UCO cadet to redeye ROTC award

By Terri King Staff Writer

University of Central Oklahoma student and Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) cadet, Rod Boles, will receive the George C. Marshall ROTC Award.

Maj. Theodore Brogden said the award, given to 270 of the nation's outstanding ROTC cadets each year, recognizes professional excellence, leadership potential and personal integrity of cadets.

Boles will travel to Lexington, Va. to attend an award seminar to

be held April 12- 15 on the campuses of the Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University where he will receive a certificate and medallion.

The awards seminar will be attended by dignitaries from the United States Army, the State Department and other national agencies, and forums will be held to discuss national security issues.

"Oh, I'm excited. I just really am excited about winning this award, and I' m looking forward to this seminar," said Boles.

Brogden said Boles is very active in ROTC functions, is a former cadet battalion officer and is a

member of the Ranger Challenge Team-- a 10-man group that competes against other universities on military skills.

Boles is majoring in elementary education and is working on his student teaching practicum.

When he graduates in May, he will be commissioned to a second lieutenant. Boles will then work on the UCO campus as a gold bar recruiter before going on to officer's basic command, after which he will enter the Adjutant General's Corps where he will work with Army personnel and administration.

The award and seminar are held

in honor of Gen. George C. Marshall, a 1901 VMI graduate who served as an Army Chief of Staff and Secretary of both State and Defense. Marshall authored

the restorative Marshall Plan after WWII and is the only career military, officer to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Disabled students can retake SAT NEW YORK (AP) — A company that administers a major college entrance test — the SAT- cheated disabled students by failing to give them the same opportunity as students who aren't disabled, the government says.

The Justice Deparunent said Thursday that the company violated federal law by letting disabled students take a new version of the Scholastic Assessment Test only in March.

They said only a limited number of tests were available in Braille, in large type or on cassette.

Students who we not disabled can take the new test in May and June, as well. Disabled students complained that they were given less time to study.

The Educational Testing Service, a Princeton, N.J.-based company that administers the SAT, and the College Board denied that they violated the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act. But they agreed Thursday to let disabled students take the new test in June.

As pact of the agreement, the nearly 2,600 disabled students \\ ho took the test in March can cancel their scores and take the test again.

Founder of Wendy's to visit Tulsa TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The founder of the Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers chain plans to unveil a partnership in June between the chain and the Tulsa school district.

The alliance is the outgrowth of a shooting spree in which three Tulsa high school students were wounded at a Wendy's restaurant in February. Three employees of the restaurant also were wounded.

Dave Thomas, Wendy's founder, is to be in Tulsa on June 7 to explain the plan. He will be in Tulsa on a routine tour of the market area.

Kim Lauerman, spokeswoman for the district, said several projects are being discussed and an agreement has been reached.

She said details are still being worked out.

Man lets girlfriend freeze to death WINONA, Minn. (AP) — Police charged a man with manslaughter for letting his girlfriend — drunk and wearing only a flannel nightgown — freeze to death outside his house in 23-below-zero temperatures.

William Braatz told police he didn't want to spend the night with his girlfriend, Renee Brown. So when she came to his home Jan. 30 and pounded on his door and bedroom window, begging to be let inside, he ignored her.

Brown's frozen body was found the next morning by a baby sitter at a home a few blocks away. Brown, 37, had a bloodalcohol level of 0.27.

Braatz, 35, was charged Thursday and released pending a court appearance next week. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine if convicted of second-degree manslaughter.

Braatz told police he and Brown had been drinking and be took Brown home to put her to bed. He said she cried and begged him to stay when he left.

E-mail message saves man's life NEW YORK (AP) — A computer specialist who suffered a heart attack at his desk tapped out an electronic-mail (e-mail) SOS that saved his life: "HELP. FEEL SICK. I NEED AID." Within seconds, dozens of people at Witco Corp. in Woodcliff Lake, N.J., darted through the maze of cubicles at the chemical company to help Jack Miller. Several administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until an ambulance took him to a hospital.

"For me, e-mail means emergency mail," the 56-year-old Miller said in today's Daily News. "I was going, and nobody would have noticed."

Miller was at his remote terminal March 17 with no one around when he felt chest pain. He called his doctor, but got put on hold.

Gasping for air and on the verge of blacking out, be typed a plea for help on the office electronic message system that went out to all 80 people in his department. Then he collapsed.

"I could barely tap out the words," he said. "My chest had this strange coldness and I just couldn't breathe."

Report Best Graduate Schools" in order to avoid a possible injunction. Kaplan will also terminate its current advertising campaign. Kaplan's actions are in response to a lawsuit filed by the Princeton Review, a rival test preparation company.

The suit seeks to stop Kaplan from claiming that its prep courses for certain tests improve students' scores by specific amounts.

During the hearing on March 10, Kaplan stated that the numbers it had used in the advertisements were not substantiated by

the independent or internal studies necessary to comply with an earlier agreement between Kaplan and the Princeton Review.

According to the Honorable Judge Miriam Cedarbaum, who heard the Princeton Review's application for a temporary restraining order, there would not be any irreparable inj ury if Kaplan altered its advertisements.

Both companies are based in Manhattan, N.Y. Neither company had a representative available for comment at this time.

The two companies will meet in court during April to determine the final outcome.

Madonna shows us we're still immature about sex She walks, she talks, she wets in the shower. She spits up obscenities, and she demonstrates what it's like to have your age catch up with you without knowing how to act it.

I speak, of course, of Madonna.

She showed up Thursday as a guest on "Late Night with David

THE VISTA

Letterman" and proceeded to

demonstrate what happens when you spend too long in a shallow gutter.

Madonna brought her underwear to the show (apparently she couldn't make it to the shower), demanding that Letterman sniff them, and numerous times, she used the four letter expletive that refers to copulation commonly used as punctuation by junior high school students and rap stars.

But Madonna got just what she wanted. The newspaper, the morning "drive-time" disc jockeys and more than a few offices were abuzz about her obnoxious behavior — a behavior that has been her claim to fame ever since she started singing fluffy disco-pop bubble gum music in the early 1980s.

Madonna has become a wealthy woman by selling explicitness to a society that is immature enough about sex to think that getting naked and talking dirty is a freeing experience, if you can manage to

shock someone while you're doing it.

Many, if not most, of Madonna's fans are teens and preteens to whom her raunchy brand ot explicitness is thought to be novel.

Like the average Disney audience, anew crop of Madonna fans come along every few years to learn about sex and cone-shaped bras.

Don't get me wrong. I have often enjoyed Madonna's music.

After all, as pop music goes, she makes perfectly good dancey pop music.

But what I want to know is, when did we need to get gross to sell perfectly good dancey pop music?

The truth is, we have Madonna because we deserve her. She sells her "image," and we buy it. When the day comes when we can handle being grown-ups about sex and its imagery, then we will start to buy our dancey pop music from someone who doesn' t need to shock us to sell to us.

Bogus insurance agencies leave families in financial ruin WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of families were left with millions of dollars in unpaid medical bills by companies the government says have operated bogus insurance agencies.

Small businesses bought the insurance plans, most of which are either insolvent or closed, the Labor Depat tment said Thursday.

Labor Secretary Robert Reich said federal lawsuits have been filed against five operations in 14 states. He said the plans left as many as 20,000 unsuspecting workers owing money to health care providers.

Money paid into the plans by employers and workers often was spent by administrators on lavish salaries an dlux ury cars, said Olena Berg of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Association. One made alimony payments and paid his daughter's college tuition directly out of premiums, she said.

"These are particularly vicious crimes," said Gustave Schick, assistant inspector general in the Office of Labor Racketeering.

"These are working people who thought they had legitimate health insurance."

The Welfare Benefits Administration, a division of the Labor Department, said the crackdown was aimed at either fake unions or "multiple employer welfare arrangements."

Such arrangements usually are set up by a group of small businesses trying to find lower insurance rates for their workers. All 50 states regulate them.

The Labor Department said three of the suspected scams involved

an insurance operator offering coverage to a group of businesses while skirting state regulators by claiming that the businesses were self-insured.

In the other cases, the Labor Department alleges that con artists set up bogus unions to offer health plans with lower premiums than would be available through an employer. These schemes did not take in enough money to remain solvent.

The General Accounting Office, the investigatory arm of Congress, estimated two years ago that as many as 398,000 workers and their families had been stuck with $123 million in unpaid health claims because of such ruses.

Posters will be distributed throughout the university to show the individual celebration sites.

Following the mini-celebrations, a barbecue lunch at 11:45 a.m. is planned at Thatcher Lake, north of the University Center, and is free to anyone.

During this gathering, at noon Edmond elementary school students will reenact the 1889 Land Run. After the sounding of a gun, the kids will travel up the lake's slope with covered wagons.

Nigh said he picked April 22 for these events in honor of the Land Run's anniversary.

Then, at 12:30 p.m., a unified groundbreaking ceremony will take place north of the University Center.

Entertainment is scheduled with the National Hall of Fame square dancers and the UCO jazz band to perform. Gov . David Walters is

also expected to be present.

During the week of the event, UCO employees are encouraged to dress in pioneer or western style "in the spirit of the occasion," Nigh said.

The university's Master Plan calls for classroom building expansions, renovations and additional equipment. It includes parking, lighting, landscaping and safety. More than 900 parking spaces were created under the plan last August.

The plan includes an expansion to the University Center, a new multi-purpose classroom and office building and the expansion of Howell Hall. The Max Chaihbers Library will also be expanded.

Members of the university' s faculty senate, student senate and the Master Plan's architects, HTB Inc., will attend each of the groundbreaking sites.

Man beheads wife's lover HANAU, Germany (AP) — A court-martial jury convicted a U.S. Army sergeant Friday of premeditated murder for beheading his wife's lover.

Schap repeatedly stabbed his friend, Gregory Glover, 21, of Phoenix, decapitated him and took the head to his wife in a hospital where she was being treated for a pregnancy problem.

The defense had argued that Schap was in an irrational rage after learning that his wife was pregnant by his friend, and

should be found guilty of a lesser charge than premeditated murder.

The judge, Lt. Col. Charles E. Trant, recessed the court and was to hear testimony later Friday about mitigating factors.

Sentencing would follow that hearing.

Mrs. Schap, visibly pregnant, testified on Wednesday that her husband brought the head into her room and said, "Look, Diane, Glover's here.

He'llsleep with you every night, only you won' t sleep at night."

IN THE ARMY, YOU'LL TAKE CHARGE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. There's an added dimension to being a nurse in the Army. You'll have increased health care responsibilities. And you'll enjoy the respect and prestige that come naturally to people who serve as officers in the Army Nurse Corps.

Professor experiences new life in Mexico

By Jennifer Palmer Staff Writer I I

•

"A fellow traveler and a young man from Laredo at the train station to see off his sister's mother-in-law helped me marshal a trunk, a large duffel bag, a medium duffel, and a backpack, my notebook computer and a blanket onto the train. To my horror, and I suspect to the horror of the inspectors, I got a "red light" and all of my belongings had to be inspected. The inspectors were most interested in my computer, wanting to know how much it cost, and they were appropriately impressed with the amount."

While this may sound to some like an introduction to a mystery • or romance novel, it is actually part of a letter from University of Central Oklahoma Associate Professor of Economics Paula Smith detailing her activities as an exchange student and professor at UCO' s sister university in Puebla, Mexico.

"She will be spending this whole semester teaching labor economics and principles of economics in English," said Dean Frank S. Wert of the College of Business Administration.

UCO President George Nigh and Vincente Pacheco Ceballos, academic vice president of the Universidad Popular Autonoma • del Estada de Puebla (Autonomous University of Puebla), signed an agreement into action Dec. 121993, which allows UCO professors, faculty and alumni to work with the Puebla university on an exchange program with their

faculty, staff and alumni, said Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute.

Smith is the first professor from UCO to participate in the new exchange program, said Wert.

The exchange The exchange program, named the "Agreement for Reciprocal

Exchange and Cooperation in Academic Research and Cultural Activities, "originally got its foothold through Wert and Donna Guinn, program developer of DARS at the enrollment center in 1992 when Guinn worked with the Partners of the Americas "Fellowship in International Development," said Guinn.

"I developed a project; designed implemented and evaluated a development project for two-and-ahalf years as a ham-radio operator, because I could speak Spanish," Guinn said.

The Partners work with Oklahoma and eight Mexican states, including Puebla, which also helped UCO to connect with the Mexican university.

In 1992, UCO held a seminar concerning global business issues that helped develop the opportunity for Smith to be an exchange professor, said Wert.

Last summer, UCO also hosted

several students from the Puebla university, which "initially led to the sister university program," Wert said.

Her office "My office is very small, but brand new. The workday here (for professors to!) is from 9 (a. m.) to 2 (p.m.) and 4 (p.m.) to 8 p.m.

I have very congenial colleagues, and the students seem very excited about the opportunity to practice their English and to learn more about our customs, etc. I like them very much. The pa-st chair was a math freak... and they currently require six semesters of math...' Smith's Jan. 27

letter read.

Deceiving calm Though all is calm in her letter, when Smith arrived in Mexico in January, there was some concern with revolts that had been occurring in Mexico, in the southern state of Chiapas.

The revolt began Jan. 1. Indigenous people of the Chiapas and Yucatan area of Mexico rebelled in a series of guerrilla-style attacks, threatening the Mexican president in the presence of an upcoming election.

The peasants, calling themselves "The Zapatistan National

Liberation Army (ZNLA)," were rebelling against being forced off their land by gas and oil companies and cattle farmers through the passing of NAFTA, which went into effect on Jan. 1, also, said William Olson, assistant professor of political science at UCO. ZNLA members had been contacting universities in Mexico City and Puebla with pleas to help them learn to read and write, said Dr. Marcia Halcala, chairperson of the UCO foreign language department.

With small uprisings being reported in the neighboring state of Guerrero, and in a city about 50 miles southeast of Puebla in late February, a group of about 300 sympathizers in Puebla began calling themselves "the Zapatistas of the South." Some were worried that the conflict could effect the Puebla university.

Likewise, in Smith' s letters, she mentions almost nothing of conflicts, actually complimenting Mexican culture and politeness.

The worst problem she encountered was the rampant presence of computer viruses.

"Disaster of the very worst order struck last week," Smith jokes, "I discovered that my computer was "ate up" with a virus, and that a new-fangled antivirus program

in DOS 6 wouldn't run (I assume that the virus took it out first!)."

Learning culture "It became clear very quickly that there was very little reason for me to go to class on the hour, because no one would be there for five, 10, 15 and sometimes 20 minutes. I did not know until Antonio, a student, told me today that I was still entitled to a full 60 minutes from the time class actually started. So my nine o'clock students arrive five after nine, and I let them go at five after 10 . They arrive at their 10 a.m. class at 10 after 10 and are dismissed at 10 after 11..,'

Smith noticed differences in the Mexican college from UCO not only from a professor' s standpoint, but a student's standpoint, also.

Smith mentioned in her letters that she had been thinking about staying June and July, "doing physical work around common people," she wrote.

"The experience gathered by Paula Smith will greatly benefit her students here at UCO. This will allow her to bring back those experiences about projects, research and businesses to give back to her classes," said Wert.

Oklahoma City University put a temporary halt to the Central Oklahoma baseball team's winning ways Tuesday afternoon as the Chiefs topped UCO 9-7, snapping the Bronchos' winning streak at nine.

Oklahoma City, ranked 16th in NAIA, jumped out to an early lead and held it by collecting 15 hits, 10 off UCO starting pitcher senior Kaleb Schroeder, whose record dipped to 4-2 on the year with the loss. Schroeder pitched five innings, striking out four and allowing five runs, four earned.

Oklahoma City jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings and held a 5-1 advantage after 4 1/2 innings, but UCO scored three in

their half of the fifth to cut the lead to one at 5-4.

The Chiefs added runs in the sixth, eighth and ninth innings before taking a 9-5 advantage into the bottom of the ninth.

Right fielder Jim Vitelli paced the Chiefs with a three-for-five, four RBI effort including a double, a triple and a home run.

Junior Zac Robinson, who entered the game leading the Bronchos with a .475 batting average, led UCO with a two-for-three effort at the plate. Junior Rodney Foster extended his hitting streak to 17 games with a one-for-four effort.

The 17th-ranked Bronchos dip to 20-5 (prior to a four-game series with Abilene Christian April 1-2) and will face Emporia State today in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. at Bronchos stadium.

Edmond, UCO host 18th Golf team bags annual baseball series tournament title

By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

Peanuts, popcorn, CrackerJacks and summer all mean baseball season is on the way. This year the All Star Sunbelt Classic Baseball Series is hitting Edmond June 21-25.

The 18th annual tournament includes seven teams, with each team representing their state. The states sending teams are Florida, Maryland, California, Georgia, Ohio, Texas and Oklahoma.

Each team is in search of host

families to help curb the expenses, and several local clubs have agreed to help find host families. Each host family is responsible for two players. For their help, the hosts will receive two complimentary passes to all games.

In conjunction with the tournament, the coaches and players will be offering a free baseball clinic.

The clinic is open to boys ages 815 and will take place June 21 from 8:30- 11 a.m.

To help promote the games in which Oklahoma plays, some of Edmond's finest will be throwing

out the first pitches. Mayor Randel Shadid and Rep.Ray Vaughn are among those who will have the honor.

The University of Central Oklahoma and Edmond North High School will host 16 of the 24 games, including the championship game at EMHS at 7 p.m June 25. The other eight games will be played in Guthrie at Squires field.

For more information about the games, the free clinic or becoming ahost, contact the Edmond Chamber of Commerce at 341- 2808.

Spring football practice continues until April 22

By Jimmy Hyde

Staff Writer Central Oklahoma spring football drills began last week and will continue until April 22.

The Bronchos return 12 starters from last year's 7-3 squad.

The main concern of the Bronchos is finding a No. 1 quarterback to replace starter Terry Payne who passed for over 1,000 yards last season.

Returning back-ups Brant Bertrand and Stanley Pena will battle it out for the top spot this spring.

UCO also lost first-team AllLSC tailback Tyrone Jones and second-team All-LSC tailback Glenn Starks.

UCO returns five starters on offense, center Flo Gonzalez, guard Aaron Roberson, tackles Chris Sumpter and Chance Nelson and split end Tony Bryson.

Defensively, UCO returns defensive tackle Mike Filson, end Phil Sexton, linebackers Brian On and Eric Brinkley, strong safety Richard Norman, cornerback Thomas King and free safety Elton Rhoades.

UCO also returns place-kicker Chris Patterson and punter Brant Bertrand.

Absent from spring drills will be tailback Joe Aska who will sit out to concentrate on track.

Stan Wagnon

Student Writer Consistency was the key for the University of Central Oklahoma golf team at the Southwestern Oklahoma State Golf Tournament Monday and Tuesday as the 8th-ranked Bronchos won their first tournament of the spring season.

UCO, with runner-up and eight-place finishes in its two previous tournaments of the spring, steadily outdistanced the field with a three-round total of 902 strokes. Arkansas Tech finished second with a 907 total, while hos t Southwestern and Phillips tied for third at 908.

The Bronchos fired a 296 in Monday's first round before turning in a 301 performance in the second round. UCO overcame chilly temperatures and gusting winds in Tuesday's fi-

nal round to shoot 305.

"Overall, I felt we made a good showing," said head coach Skip Wagnon. "We weren't playing our best golf and the weather didn't help us, but the guys were consistent enough to get the job done."

Individually, freshman Dustin York finished fourth to lead UCO with a total of 224, seven strokes behind medalist Matt Jett of Southwestern.

Casey Eden finished one stroke behind York for fifth place, while Jason Freeman shot 227 to tie for seventh place.

David Hines and John Roberts each shot 235 for the Bronchos, while Bill Agan carded a 241.

UCO will return to action April 4-5 when the Bronchos host the UCO/Kickingbird Invitational at Kickingbird Golf Course. The 18-team field will begin play at 8 a.m. both days.

UCO holds annual Easter egg hunt for over 250 children

By Janet Runge Staff Writer Within 30 seconds, it was over.

The grass south of the University of Central Oklahoma's Hamilton Field House was swept clean of the plastic Easter eggs that dotted the lawn like colorful specks of spring flowers.

"It looked like the land run," said Sen. Scott Davenport of UCO' s Student Government Association (SGA), referring to the over 250 children that rushed for Easter treasures.

The third annual Easter egg hunt sponsored by the SGA was held April 2.

On hand for the hunt were several Edmond Fire Departm e n t firefighters from Fire Station One. Capt. Bob Billen, a UCO alumni, said that they were on campus to start the Easter egg hunt with ablast of their fire truck's horn.

rected the children into groups, age seven and over to one side of the field, the younger children to the north.

The children lined up patiently while parents were heard reciting the "codes of the hunt" to them.

"Wait until they tell you to go," said one. "And don't be greedy."

"Don't push and shove," said another. "And help the little ones get an egg."

One excited girl in a pink jacket dashed across the line ahead of time and picked up an egg. Her mother gently removed the egg from the basket, laid it on the

and green cellophane grass.

"Everyone got an egg," said Davenport. "The children were all well behaved, and we felt the hunt was really organized."

The pink Easter Bunny, played

by Sen. Amy Melvin of SGA, posed for photographs with the children and politely refused the candy that many of her young admirers offered to share with her.

"We would like to thank the community for helping to make this hunt a success," said Davenport. "This is our way to give back something to the people who help support our university."

Economics Club joins national business economics organization Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma Economics Club, Omicron Delta Epsilon, has been accepted by the National Association of Business Economists as one of its student chapters.

The National Association of Business Economists (NABE), which was founded in 1959, was developed to meet the needs of

economists.

The organization will provide the UCO Economics Club with journals that include articles about applied economics to keep the club updated, Khalid Awang, president of Omicron Delta Epsilon said.

NABE also provides an expanded network of contacts and placement assistance that helps students find internships and helps graduates find good jobs in the field of economics, Awang said.

"The Economics Club had to

meet the standards of NABE by showing that it is not only a club, but it supports community development and promotes economic awareness," Awang said.

"Being accepted by NABE is good, because it supplies connections to the real world. It will help people interested in economics make ties to the business community," Michael Metzger, chair of the department of economics and co-sponsor of the Economics Club said.

Economics workshop set for April 15 Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma's department of economics, the UCO Economics Club and the Center for Urban Economic and Business Analysis will sponsor its second annual free workshop and luncheon from 12:30 - 3:45 p.m. April 15 in the Cherokee Room of the University Center.

The workshop, tided a Work-

shop in Applied Economics, will deal with issues and future jobs in the field and will be held for economics majors or anyone interested in the subject.

Economists Craig Knutson from Southwestern Bell, and Frank Lewis from Petroleum Management Systems, will discuss their careers and answer questions, Michael Metzger, chair of the department of economics said.

"Students who have worked in internships, former graduates and faculty members will also discuss

their non-academic experiences, consulting, government work and their own projects," Metzger said.

"This workshop will be good, because it will give people ideas and information to see if they want to be involved in economics. It will also show them what to look for concerning future employment," Metzger said.

Deadline for registration is April 8. Anyone interested should contact Michael Metzger at 3412980, Ext. 5257 or Khalid Awang at Ext. 5843.

. Students to present works at Liberal Arts Student Symposium tomorrow

By Dayna Poarch

Staff Writer Essays, poetry, art and photography will be presented at the University of Central Oklahoma Liberal Arts Student Symposium, Crosscurrents VI , from 8:40 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. April 6.

"We have submissions from almost every department in the Liberal Arts College," said Tami PUZZLE KEY

Watson, managing editor of the New Plains Review.

A schedule will be posted of the times and locations of student presentations. They can present anything, but most students read papers they have written as a class assignment, she said.

An art exhibit and a photo exhibit are new additions to the symposium, said Watson.

The art exhibit, located in the upstairs lobby of the Liberal Arts

Student Writer The seventh annual Penny Roundup for Wildflowers sponsored by OKC Beautiful begins in April with decorated canisters being placed in public locations throughout central Oklahoma.

The pennies collected will be used to buy and plant wildflowers in parks, center medians and along highways such as Broadway Extension, 1-44 and 1-40.

The collection canisters will be judged at the end of April, and the winners will receive a 12-person pizza party from Little Caesars Pizza.

Canisters are judged on creativity and the use of wildflowers. The number of pennies collected will be a factor only if there is a tie.

There are seven categories to enter a canister in: corporate, small business, civic/nonprofit organization, elementary or middle school, junior or high school, college or university group and an open category for anyone that doesn't fit into another category.

Canister contest entrants must deliver their decorated containers with at least 15 pounds of pennies to the OKC

Beautiful offices on April 29 before 4:30 p.m. or April 30 between 9 and 11 a.m.

OKC Beautiful has been collecting money for wildflowers since 1977. In the past seven years, they raised over $60,000 and planted 160 acres of wildflowers in Oklahoma City.

The wildflowers not only make the city look good, but they also help save money said Karolyn Corbett, program director for OKC Beautiful.

While the flowers are in bloom, the grass in that area is not mowed, which saves the city from having to pay laborers.

"Any wildflowers seen on the side of the road are there because someone donated money," Corbett said. "We are not funded by any state or federal agency."

There is also an award for the one organization who collects the most pennies: a traveling sign designed by Signworks currently on display at Quail Creek Elementary School for collecting 736 pounds of pennies last year.

All contest entrants will receive a package of wildflower seeds and posters pertaining to the contest.

For more information, contact OKC Beautiful at 525-8822.
