Employment falls despite predictions WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's jobless rate held at 7.0 percent in March as job gains in the previous month disappeared and only a few service industries such as health care managed to add employment, the government reported last week. The Labor Department said its survey of business payrolls showed that employment in March fell by 22,000 from the month before. Private economists had generally expected the report to show an increase in the range of 100.000 to 150,000 jobs.

Clinton seeks funds for international population groups WASHINGTON (AP) — In another reversal of Reagan-Bush abortion policies, President Clinton will allow federal funding for international population control groups that provide or pay for abortions, administration officials say. Two State Department officials said Wednesday that the administration's fiscal 1994 budget would include money for the International Planned Parenthood Federation, whose activities abroad include distribution of contraceptives and abortion counseling.

The University Center Bookstore will offer the option of souvenir caps and gowns for graduation at the University of Central Oklahoma this spring. Souvenir graduation gowns are made from slightly thinner material and would be kept by the students. Paul Mengwasser, assistant manager of the bookstore, said this is the first year souvenir caps and gowns have been offered at UCO, and that this option is in line with what many other universities are doing. The cost of souvenir caps and gowns is $12.50, and master's hoods are an additional $10, said Dudley Ryan, vice president for student services and dean of students. Traditional cap and gown rental is covered by the $25 graduation fee, which also

covers the processing fee of paperwork for commencement, printing of diplomas and diploma covers, Ryan said. The dates for picking up rental gowns are April 26-30, and can be picked up anytime at the bookstore. The cost of Mortar board tassles is $3.50, and year charms are $2. The bookstore also offers several price options for graduation announcements. Personalized announcements will carry the graduate's name and degree title and will range in price from $39.99 for 30 cards, including thank-you notes, to $62.99 for a package of 50 cards, including thank-you notes. The traditional announcements, which do not carry the graduate's name and degree title, range in price from $7.50 for a package of 10, to $57.99 for a package of

50, said Mengwasser. This year, for the first time, there will be four separate commencement ceremonies for the different colleges. Ryan said that the subject of the graduation ceremonies has been a topic of discussion at the university for six or seven years. Many different options have been considered. Commencement for the College of Education will be at 7 p.m. May 7 at Hamilton Fieldhouse, formerly Broncho Fieldhouse. Commencement for the College of Business Administration will be at 10 a.m. May 8. Commencement for the College of Liberal Arts will be at 1p.m. May 8, followed by the College of Math and Science commencement at 4p.m. May 8.

Graduating college students have so many choices to make. Graduating International students from the University of Central Oklahoma have and even harder decision to make— go back to their home country or stay in the United States to study or work. An option to choose is Practical Training. "It is an opportunity to work full-time for a year in the area of your major," explained Jalal Daneshfar of the UCO International Office. Daneshfar added that graduating students on a study visa are eligible for this program They have until June 2 to apply, said Daneshfar. With a transcript in hand, the first step is obtaining a recommendation letter from the Dean of one's college. Then, with a valid passport, a current I20 immigration form and the letter, go to the International Office which will write an official recommendation letter to the Immigration Office. Next, students must submit their paperwork to the Immigration Office in downtown Oklahoma City and arrange for an interview. See International page 6

Good luck and fortune to graduating students, farewell With graduation just around the corner, the prospect of turning in a backpack for a briefcase can be both thrilling and terrifying. As you leave college life to enter the "real world," keep an optimistic outlook on life. Life on your own is a whole world of new and exciting adventures. It will be a little scary at times, but don't be afraid to try new things. H. Jackson Brown said, "Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did." So go out and be intense. Don't be wary of trying new and different things. A successful person is one who keeps on going through life's misfortunes and successes. While graduating from college is certainly a success, finding a job can sometimes lead to misfortune. Job searching can be stressful if not disappointing at times. So it is important to keep going with a positive attitude and confidence. Rejection can turn a person inside out. Be prepared for it and learn from it. Every baci experience can offer something positive in the scheme of things.

What do you think you will receive as your starting salary after you graduate?

Despite life's occasional little obstacles, eventually you will find yourself at the place you've always wanted to be. Success has many different meanings. And throughout life's journey, you will eventually find it. Ralph Waldo Emerson summed up life when he said: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Emerson's got the right idea. Although those are just words, they form a very true message. Live life and be a success.

First impressions are everything, and this is especially true in the area of job interviews, said Carolyn Lilly from the Edmond branch of the Oklahoma State Employment Agency. Deciding what to wear can often be one of the most difficult parts of preparing for an interview, Lilly said. If a person's clothing is too casual, the prospective employer may get the impression that the person is not dedicated; if it is too dressy, then the impression may be one that the person may not be prepared for the work. "You should dress for the company image, what ever the business is. Dress for the interview like you would (dress) if you had the job," Lilly said. Lilly said that it is often easy to follow trends and fads. People should keep in mind the clientele and try not to overdress so as not to offend them, she said. "It is important to remember that you want to sell your abilities, skills and expertise. You don't want to be a walking billboard," Lilly said. Lilly said that in most job situations it is better to dress in a neat and conservative manner; however, if creativity and originality are part of the job there is more freedom, as long as good taste is shown. When in doubt, it is better to overdress with clothes, while jewelry should be minimized, she added. Since most students are on a limited budget, she suggests buying clothes that are versatile and can be mixed and matched for a larger wardrobe. Sweaters, ties and accessories are another easy way to get different looks for less money.

Assessment programs measure college's qualities By Jessica Danker Copy Editor

Nine out of 10 colleges and universities nationwide practice some form of assessment activities, an international assessment consultant told University of Central Oklahoma faculty and administrators last Thursday. Dr. James Nichols, director of University Planning and Institutional Research at the University of Mississippi, was on campus last week to conduct a Student Outcomes Assessment Workshop.

Nichols also said that their has been a recent growth in the assessment movement at independent institutions, as well as an increase in the linkage of assessment with accreditation. Assessment changes in curriculum or programs have been implemented at a majority of institutions across the nation, he said. UCO regents have required the university to join in the assessment movement, which was brought about in order to gauge

what the students are learning in order to improve the curriculum. "The focus of the student outcomes assessment effort is not the student, but degree program," Nichols said. He said most faculty will be indirectly involved, but all faculty should have their say in the development of their program. Nichols said that the question UCO faculty and administrators must ask is, "What do we intend to have our students able to do when they graduate, and how do we go

about it?" The two types of assessment are criterion-referenced and norm-referenced. With criterion-referenced assessment, institutions observe how they accomplished the goals and objectives. However, norm-referenced assessment forces the institutions to compare their performance with other institutions. This involves standardized testing. Nichols said the student out-

Wheelchair event seeks volunteers By Steve Sager

Student Writer

The Greater Oklahoma Wheelchair Athletic Association will sponsor the Fourth Annual Oklahoma Invitational Wheelchair Games April 30 through May 2 at the University of Oklahoma. The University of Central Oklahoma has been asked to provide volunteers for the event. The games will begin at 4:30 p.m. on April 30 at the Old Field House. The events will then move to John Jacobs Track for the next two days. The competition will begin at 8 a.m. on May 1 and at 9 a.m. on May 2. The events will last all day. The games are a regional track and field , swimming, and weightlifting competition for junior (up to age 18) and adult (ages 18 and on) wheelchair athletes. Athletes who qualify in these games will then be eligible to compete in the nationals later this summer, and from there can go on to international competition. These games are not to be confused with the Special Olympics explained Ellen Campbell, an assistant professor of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance at UCO. "At the Special Olympics athletes qualify by mental retardation, while the athletes in the wheelchair games are judged by physical handicaps." "The athletes are classified by their ability level, so that someone without an arm or trunk will not have to compete with someone who does," said Denise Hutchins, a member of the board of directors and the meet director for the Greater Oklahoma Wheelchair Athletic Association. Hutchins said they need about 150-200 volunteers, but expressed they could never have too many. The shifts run from 4- 9 p.m. on April 30, from 8 a.m. to 1p.m. and from 1-9 p.m. on May 1, and from 8:30 a.m. to noon and from noon to 4 p.m. on May 2. The volunteers will be asked to help with registration, timing athletes, recording results, helping assist the athletes in certain field events and so on.

comes assessment does not involve hiring more faculty, but improving the curriculum of each department. Each department will determine the best method of assessment for its program, said Dr. Douglas Sprung, chairman of Curriculum & Instruction at UCO. "I think it's a good way of providing feedback and permit us to strengthen our program," Sprung said. "It will force us (departments) to be a little more detailed and rigorous," he said.

Even in the current tight job market, there are still jobs to be had, said Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director or the University Center Placement Office. Greenlee said that often students do not get information that employers are seeking resumes from students at the University of Central Oklahoma. The following local companies are seeking resumes from UCO students.

American Studios, the WalMart photography division, will be accepting resumes from students with a management background. It is helpful if applicants have photographic experience, but the company will train. Interviews will be held on April 6.

Health care, mark eting, fin ance,'hot careers' By Jessica Danker Copy Editor

Several University of Central Oklahoma teachers agree with the recent article in Cosmopolitan which listed areas such as health care, marketing, finance and government as 'hot careers.' Dr. Tom Trittipo, chairman of the marketing department, said he thinks marketing is a hot career to get into now, primarily because of

the service sector. Trittipo said that many areas, such as health promotions, public relations and the pharmaceutical industry are looking for sales representatives. "Marketing becomes even more important as the economy slows down," Trittipo said. "Companies are fighting for smaller shares of the market." "Retail managers are in high

demand and that sector is growing, especially in deep discounters like Sam's and Wal-Mart." Students have a better chance if they are flexible and are willing to relocate, he said. "There are better opportunities in larger markets," he added. Before going to a job interview with a company, Trittipo advises the prospective employee to adequately research the company and

take advantage of networking. Dr. Randall Jones, chairman of the UCO political science department, offers similar advice. "I suggest students cast their net over a wide area...distribute resumes broadly and give themselves maximum visability," Jones said. "Persistence is the key." Jones said public administration and city management are the best areas to get jobs in political science. "Political science majors and others in liberal arts are good managers," he said. Jones said companies particularly hire managerial-type people to staff government relations units. "Companies are more and more creating government relations organizations to deal with the myriad of government regulations they face," Jones added. Job opportunities are also opening in the finance area, said chair of the UCO finance department, Dr. Mary Elliott. "I think there are so many opportunities occurring in finance right now because of the easing of restrictions on bank loans and Clinton's plan," Elliott said. Elliott said jobs in banking and insurance are opening. Many students have to start at

entry level positions, Elliott said. "A lot of our graduates are working in the field already and have connections," she said. The health care profession was also listed as a good career to enter right now. Advertisements for people in a range of health care areas are plentiful in today's papers. "It (health care profession) is extremely good because we are becoming more of a service nation since our competitors are outdoing us in technology," said Dr. Lou Ebrite, chair of Occupational and Technology Education. Ebrite' s department trains health professionals, such as nurses and dentists, to teach at vocational and college level. Physical therapy is the professional area in the greatest demand at the present, she added. Some of the greatest concerns in health care are the rise in Hepatitis B and AIDS cases, Ebrite said. "The number of applicants is not staying at a proper level to fill vacancies because of these fears," she said. Environment, education, legal service and employment counseling were also listed among the recommended careers.

"International students have to compete with Americans for a job, there is no assurance that with this permission to work comes a job," said Daneshfar. After the one-year period of employment, some companies may retain the international student and recommend to the Immigration Department to change the student's status from a student visa (F-1) to a working visa (H-1). After graduation, an international student is allowed to stay in the U.S. for two months, after which they have to leave the country, said Daneshfar. Many international students choose to go home after graduation or pursue their studies further. For students wanting to work in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, Graduate Career '93,

available in the International Office, offers employment opportunities, said Daneshfar. He advises graduating students

to get their resumes together, collect letters of recommendation, establish contacts and study the markets.

Internships prepare students for real world By Bill Hamilton Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma graduates may have a better chance at landing a job. Taking an internship is the key.

"Internships are critical to educating our students and preparing them for work in media." Students who successfully complete internships have a distinct advantage in getting jobs. Many times students get jobs

interview bases; they remember you because you made an impression on them," Deskin said. "In broadcasting, over a period of time the place that takes the interns is so impressed they want to look at them." "We only let certain students enroll in internships so the stations know they are the cream of

the crop," Deskin added. "Internships put the student in the place where they realize what is expected of them on the job and with discipline," said Dr. Fred Grosz, chairman of the chemistry department. "In forensic science, interns get exposed to real life situations," Grosz said. "They take samples do documentary work and learn the chain of command, so when they go out and get a job they know what is expected of them."

PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING

Shirley S. Taylor Student Writer Resume preparation is one of the services offered by the University of Central Oklahoma's Copy Center. Resumes cost $10 for the first page and $5 for the second, said Crystal Johnson, word processor operator for the UCO Copy Center. Resumes are kept indefinitely on a floppy disk. Changes can be made for fifty cents. The Copy Center offers other clerical services for students and faculty, including word processing for seven cents per line or $1.90 per double-spaced page. Documents are printed on a laser printer and can be produced in variable typefaces and sizes of type. Editing for obvious errors is part of the service and, unless a specific format is described, all work is done with a one-inch margin, Johnson said. Turn-around for projects is about one week since the staff must also handle retail sales. Approximately seven to 10 students per week use the word processing service, said Johnson. UCO faculty use the photocopying service mainly for classroom handouts or other items, which change from one semester to the next. Projects that require graphic layout, such as telephone directories and manuals, are handled by the campus print shop. Prices vary depending on the services performed, which include laminating, hole-punching, binding and making poster-size prints from a standard size sheet of paper, Approximately four students per week use the fax machine, except just after mid-terms and finals when international students send their grades home, said Johnson. The Copy Center is in the basement of the University Center and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS.

very year, a lot of people make a huge mistake on their taxes. They don't take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could be saving for retirement. Fortunately, that's a mistake you can easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way to build retirement income—especially for the "extras" that your regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because your contributions are made in before-tax dollars, you pay less taxes now. And since all earnings on your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the

money you don't send to Washington works even harder for you. Down the road, that can make a dramatic difference in your quality of life. What else makes SRAs so special? A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of TIAA to the diversified investment accounts of CREF's variable annuity—all backed by the nation's number one retirement system. Why write off the chance for a more rewarding retirement? Call today and learn more about how TIAA-CREF SRAs can help you enjoy many happy returns.

Landing first job takes time Jon Davis

Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma graduates could face a three to six month search for employment. "The current trends for college graduates is a three to six month delay from the time of graduation to landing that firstjob," said Dave Curran, executive recruiter for Express Personnel of Oklahoma City. Curran offers ideas for recent graduates. "Talk to decision makers, not human resources departments. Present only relevant work experience, take advantage of internships and produce your resume on a word processor instead of a typerwriter," he said. The days of the all encompassing resumes are over. Companies

want employees to have some work expreience in the field, said Curran. Many eastern schools offer a co-op program where students spend four to five months working fora firm and four or five in the classroom, he said. "Although it takes longer to graduate, once you do, you will be much more valuable in the job market, Curran added. Curran also suggests job hunters take a back seat to their egos and find out what employers need in thier employees by asking questions. "Save your time and theirs by asking them early on in the process," he said. If you can meet those requirements, then proceed with the process. If not, move on to the next company.

Resume workshops available this month Jon Davis Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma Placement Office is sponsoring two resume workshops next week. The workshops will be held from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m., April 14 in the Seminole Room of the UCO University Center, Room 402. "Registration is not required... all we ask is that students show up," said Kathryn Greenlee, the director of UCO' s placement office. "We're going to show corn-

mon mistakes found on resume's, do's and don'ts, and how to tailor your resume to a specific industry. "Offering a workshop in the afternoon and evening gives our evening students_ the chance to attend as well," Greenlee said. Students who attend will receive sample resume's and advice to help them emphasize their strengths, she said. "I'm also speaking to student organizations on campus and would be interested in doing more of that. Students can also, of course, drop their resume by my office and I'd be happy to give

BSU carve image of Christ in Padre sand By Connie Price Student Writer The recent spring break was a "life-changing" experience as de' scribed by one member of the Baptist Student Union at the University of Central Oklahoma. g Fifteen students from UCO made the annual journey to South Padre Island to participate in the "Beach Reach," a program sponsored by BSU's from schools in Oklahoma and Texas. The UCO students were part of more than 230 BSU members from 13 campuses. Beach Reach, which began 13 years ago, gives students a chance

Internships to think about... Bear Stearns 115 South Jefferson Road Whippany, NJ 07981 Approximately 12 ten-week financial internships

to share their faith with others on spring break, said Charles Lillard, director of the UCO BSU, who made the trip with the students. Several activities were offered during the week. The B SU students took turns sharing the volunteer effort. One activity was the sand sculpturing. An image of Christ was carved in the sand which prompted many passersby to stop and ask

questions, students said. The BSU members also provided a van ministry. Cards were handed out with a telephone hotline number printed. Students could call for a free ride to anywhere on the Island. "The vans enabled the students to arrive safely at their destination," said Mike Brock, a senior

from Fairfax, Okla. who has been involved with the Beach Reach program for three years. "Most students were thankful for the ride. Very few of them gave us a hard time." Although actual numbers were difficult to obtain, estimates of the number of students using the van service were more than 1,000, according to a local Padre Island newspaper. Other activities offered were free breakfasts and a sunburn aid station, where students could receive sunscreen and moisturizer to help lessen the effects of too much sun. To help finance the trip, BSU

members held a date auction in February. Double and triple blind dates were sold. "The auction helped the students offset expenses," said Lillard. Julie Harris, a UCO freshman from Newkirk, Okla., said of her experience to Padre Island, "I felt privileged to be a part of it. The main message we conveyed was that we were there to help if needed." Another UCO student, Susy Woodruff, a freshman from Moore, Okla., said, "I will go back every year. It was life-changing. I look at people now in a new way. I see their needs more and it makes me want to reach out."

Softball team rolls to 8th straight . By Justin Harper Sports Editor

After racking-up eight consecutive wins and storming out to a 13-3 record Central Oklahoma's softball team has established itself as a national power. The Lady Bronchos have not appeared in the NCAA Division II softball rankings this season, but the team did receive votes in the latest poll. And if the winning continues a national ranking seems eminant, as well as a birth in the 16-team NCAA II playoff field. The Lady Bronchos will try and continue their current level of play today when they travel to Lawton to play a doubleheader with Cameron. Last week UCO swept a doubleheader from 17th-ranked Emporia State, taking the first game 4-2 and winning the second by a count of 4-3. The Lady Bronchos torrid streak has come in large part from their offensive play. UCO is batting .370 as a team and has five players hitting over .400 and eight hitting .300 or better. The squad is also averaging five runs per game, which is two runs a contest better than last years average.

Leading UCO's offensive onslaught is third baseman April Williams. The junior is currently hitting .480 (24 of 50) with five doubles, four triples, one homer and 12 RBI to her credit. Williams has already moved into a tie for second-place in singleseason triples, needing just two more to set the record. Second baseman Lynda Thomas is hitting at a .442 clip (23 of 52).

Jody Miller is having a career-season on the mound. The sophomore from Tulsa, hurled a no-hitter at Colorado-Colorado Springs last week in an 8-0 UCO win. Miller also has won six straight games to up her record to 9-2 on the year, with an ERA of 0.54. Miller has pitched 78 innings and allowed only 46 hits, 11 walks and 18 runs.

UCO Sports News Bronchos win Spikers sign Hardy named to scoring title prep standout academic team Central Oklahoma's men's basketball team won the 199293 NCAA Division II basketball scoring title, finishing with a 113.6 to top defending champion Troy State's 11.4 average. The Bronchos average led all NCAA teams regardless of division. The Bronchos finished 23-6 this season, winning its third straight Lone Star Conference title and advancing to the NCAA II national tournament for the second straight year.

Central Oklahoma's volleyball team has anounced the signing of its lone recruit for 1993 in El Paso standout Stacey Schwartz. Schwartz, a 5-8 outside hitter, led Coronado High School to a 30-5 record and area championship last fall in earning All-City recognition. She had a .367 hitting percentage and was named to two All-Tournament teams.

Central Oklahoma basketball player Bobbi Hardy was recently named to the All-Academic AllLone Star Conference ladies basketball team. Hardy, a physical education major with a 3.39 grade point average led the Lady Bronchos

in assists this season with a 5.3 average, while also chipping in 11.9 points per game. Hardy was also named on the All-LSC basketball team, earning secondteam laurels.

Peace corps set to recruit, discuss locations, benefits By Joyce Kirtley Student Writer

Graduating seniors looking for an alternative to a career, or any United States citizen 18 years or older, can talk with Peace Corps recruiters. The recruiters will be available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 12 on the fourth floor of the University Center. A film will also be shown at 2 p.m. in Room 403 of the UC. An information table will be available with return Peace Corps volunteers Solo Lin, a volunteer in Thailand, and Ray Ezelle, a volunteer in Ghana, Africa. They will be there to answer any questions for potential volun-

teers, said Heather Armstrong, a Peace Corps public affairs specialist from the Dallas Area Recruiting Office. They will discuss locations, timeframes, requirements and overall benefits of being a Peace Corps volunteer, said recruiter Estella Mayes. Peace Corps volunteers work for two or more years in agriculture, forestry, fish culture, health and nutrition, education, engineering, skilled trades and community development. The volunteers must attend three monthsof training, which is the beginning of their service. Learning of the language and cross cul-

ture is extensive, so the volunteer will know the culture, said Armstrong. During service, volunteers will receive a monthly allowance for housing, food, clothing and extras. Free medical and dental care, transportation to and from their country and 24 vacation days per year are some of the benefits the volunteers will receive. "There is no typical volunteer, but we look for outgoing people with good leadership experience. They must also be adventurous, since they will be going overseas," said Armstrong. For more information contact Armstrong at1-800-527-9216.

Job search should start early By Tim Linville Staff Writer

A successful job search starts before dead week of a student's senior year, says Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director of the University of Central Oklahoma's Career Development and Placement Services. "A job search should start early in a student's academic career. Students should ask themselves what type of company they'd like to work for and find a way to work in that environment," said Greenlee. "College graduates looking for entry-level positions are a dime a dozen," said Brent L. Rooney, recruiting specialist at Sales Consultants of Oklahoma City, Inc.

"Students must network. Companies spend a lot of money training new employees, so they want to know who they're hiring," said Greenlee. "This is what makes networking so important."

"Student's should also meet with the human resource people at companies where they would be interested in working", Greenlee added. "This makes possible employers think of the student as a person, not just a resume'."

Minority scholarship available By Paul Brown Student Writer With tuition increases on the horizon, some students may find it difficult to get into their particular classes, let alone enroll into the institution of their choice. The Multicultural Student Services at the University of Central Oklahoma began a new program to help students with financial difficulty. Twenty students are eligible for $500 scholarships, broken down to $250 per semester. "This new scholarship is specifically designed for mainly African American, American Indian, and Asian Americans who are currently enrolled here at UCO," said Barry Lofton, coordinator of MSS. "We tend to lose a lot of our minority students because of lack of money to keep them in school." Lofton acknowledges the university for being committed to assisting students with their financial hardships.

"The university is assuring us that minority students are living the complete college experience, and that minority students are being assisted in ways that they can complete their education here at UCO." To qualify for the money, the student must follow certain guidelines. The student must be a fulltime undergraduate, have a 2.75 grade point average or better, and have completed at least 12 hours at UCO. The student must also be a resident of Oklahoma, belong to an American ethnic minority group and show financial need. In addition, the student must be culturally involved (community work, church, schools). The scholarship will begin for the fall and spring 1994 school year. Applications will be available April 12, with a return deadline of May 1. For more information, contact Lofton at 341-2980.

Murdaugh Hall will split next fall Renovation will change Murdaugh into east and west divisions By Michele Soh Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma will not establish co-ed residence halls, said Director of Auxiliary Services A.K.

"Walls will be built to divide Murdaugh Hall and the only shared area will be the lobby on the first floor," said Rahman. He added that he hopes to make Murdaugh an upper classmen hall. Rahman explained that UCO did not need four halls, three would be enough to meet fluctuating demand. Thatcher Hall will be phased out gradually, as it is the smallest hall and furthest away from the Central Cafeteria, he said. This spring, occupancy rate of the four halls is down.

Business building to get snack stand next semester By Joyce Kirtley Student Writer

•

Hungry students can grab a bite to eat at the Central Cafeteria food stand. The stand, located in the Liberal Arts Building, is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The service began as an experiment last semester by Willie Maxwell Jr., assistant director of food services at the University of Central Oklahoma, said Syed Shahanawaz, graduate student and employee of the Central Cafeteria. "The response from students has been good. It saves them time because they don't have to go out for lunch," said Shahanawaz. The stand serves hot dogs, pizza, sandwiches, Banishes, cinnamon rolls and drinks. Each item costs less than $2. "Since it will continue next semester, we are taking student suggestions on what types of food they would like to have," said Shahanawaz. The cafeteria, however, is getting permission to put a food stand in the Business Building next semester, he added.

ROTC purpose unchanged Jon Davis

Student Writer

Despite the recent proposed defense cuts in the federal budget, the University of Central Oklahoma's ROTC department has not changed its purpose. "The current national ROTC mission is 4,000 new cadets per year," said Capt. John Crean, professor of military science in UCO' s ROTC program. "Here at UCO we are on our current goal of 10 commissions per year. We're looking for all types of individuals.... business majors, nurses and other majors just like always," said Crean. Crean said UCO' s cadets are typically older students some of

whom have prior military service. Those students with approximately 50 college semester hours can "try out" military life this summer with Camp Challenge, said Crean. The camp is located at Camp Gruber, Oklahoma and lasts six weeks. "This is a good chance for interested students to check out military life with no obligation. After Camp Challenge, if the students desire they can contract with the ROTC program and will be paid $100 per month and have the opportunity to serve with local guard and reserve units to earn even more," said Crean.

Discover your choices at this office By Heide Brandes Staff Writer

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a puppeteer? Does a blood bank technician or a watcher of mosquitoes seem intriguing? For students who have a taste for the unusual, the UCO Placement Office has job information for every sort of career. "Certainly the challenge is trying to find out where the people should go," said Kathryn Greenlee, Ph.D., director of the career development and placement services. "We had one woman who wanted to be a political lobbyist and another who wanted to work in a museum. You can't really look in the paper and see 'political lobbyist wanted, come on down. — One of the placement office's new programs includes Discover, a program that offers information on careers. "Discover does a lot of things, actually," said Greenlee. "Each

job has a code number. Say you ents..." Greenlee said. "Discover wanted to be a circus performer. will give you a print out on what You'd look through the book, find careers may be right for you.

Money management an important factor

By Silas Satepauhoodle Student Writer

Graduates facing the job market must also face how to manage money. "We are so into immediate gratification these days," said Kathryn Greenlee, director of career develpment and placement services. "People are depending on credit cards like they are real money, and they are the ones who can't eat at the end of the month wondering where did it all go." The first step in devising a plan is to sit down with a pen and calculator. Take out of the paycheck the fixed expenses like rent,

utilities, car payment, student loan repayment and taxes, Greenlee said . "Taxes changed my thinking and taught me to prepare for things in advance," said Steven Pratt, associate professor of oral communication. "What helped me was that I still thought of myself as a student," he said. "With my first check I thought if I blow this I'm out," he added. Next, figure in the necessities like food, toiletries, gasoline and clothing, Greenlee said. "The older generation didn' tbuy things until they had the money and didn't use the credit cards unless it was an emergency," she

said. "The problem is while you're in college you can live on so little," said Randal Ice, assistant professor of finance. "Then you graduate and need a house, furniture, car, wardrobe, then marriage and family needs." The biggest problem is people tend to go overboard. "Be aware in any given situtation the more you know, the better off you'll be," he said. "You must increase the efficiency to which you use your money becuase there is a limited supply, and it won't go around if you spend it all," Ice said.

Don't Haul it... Store It!

Vocational I Technical schooling in robotics or two years of manufacturing technology are required. The placement office offers careers in age-old trades, as well. Historians, blacksmiths and bookbinders are available. No matter how unusual a student's taste, a job can be found. From accountant to zookeeper, the UCO placement office has information on almost every kind of job, said Greenlee. "Jobs are here now that people just don't know about," she said. "They think they have to go to New York, but the jobs are right here." For more information, contact the placement office at Ext. 2241 or at the University Center, Room 312.

through government jobs in the arts. Another job offered through the placement office calls for a vector control officer in Norman, Okla. The job deals with mosquitoes. Vector control officers set up surveillance for monitoring mosquito populations, do daily mosquito counts, identify mosquito tax and answer complaints. For students whose tastes run more towards the world of science fiction, Discover offers a job for robot technicians. Robot technicians assist in the design and use of robots. They are involved in installing, testing, programming, operating and repairing robots. In addition, a student does not need to be a rocket scientist to get the job.
