CO students are getting smarter, or at least that's what their grade point averages (GPA) show. Over the past 10 years the average GPA for undergraduates at UCO has risen steadily from 2.66 in 1986 to 2.83 in 1996, a rate that, if it continues, will mean an average GPA of 3.0 in the next decade. This trend of steadily rising grades is known as "grade inflation" and the implications are not only that the comparative value of student performance is lost, but also the significance of academic honors is lowered, according to reports in the April, 1997 issue of Quality in Higher Education. "'Grade inflation' is a reality—and it's something, quite frankly, I've been concerned about on this campus," said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs. However, isolating the reasons for UCO's grade inflation is like "trying to make sculpture out of warm jello," said Jacob. "It is a genuine issue—the problem is, it is so intangible." Jacob speculates that a combination of many things on campus have contributed to the trend. "I'd like to think we're getting a higher Jacob caliber of student" because of the recent policy changes in Oklahoma, like higher standards for high school graduation. Evelyn Wilson, dean of enrollment services, said test scores in Oklahoma have been up for the past few years, and students entering UCO have higher scores as well. "The pattern is there—it's steadily increasing," said Wilson. Chairperson of the History and Geography department, Dr. James Baker, said despite the test scores he didn't think the better grades are because of better students. "I don't see a better student overall, especially at the freshmen level," said Baker. Jacob also credits the increasing availability of information technology and the access to learning V See GPA, Page 3

UCO student diagnosed with tuberculosis; exposed classmates require tests
C
lassmates of a UCO student who has active tuberculosis (TB) were informed of their possible exposure Wednesday and referred to the Student Health Center for testing. Health Center director LaBetta Wallenmeyer said the sick student's diagnosis was confirmed Monday after a routine skin test revealed the presence of TB antibodies. Students enrolled in nursing, guidance and international students are routinely tested, she said.
If a skin test is positive, a chest X-ray that might yield more information is done. But the definitive test is a microscopic examination of mucus from the lungs (sputum culture). If the sputum culture shows TB, the patient is treated with antibiotics, said Wallenmeyer. After two to three weeks of antibiotics, the patient is usually well, she said. Wallenmeyer said the student who has TB has been absent from class since the last week of VSee TB, Page 3

NUMBER OF PROFESSORS
rades are going up at UCO. Sounds like great news, right? Wrong. If you look at the bigger picture, grade inflation could eventually lead to serious problems. If the A's are easier to get, then making the President's Honor Roll this semester didn't mean as much as it would've ten years ago. Aside from the prestige issue, think about the purpose of attending a university. Students are here to learn skills they will apply when they enter the workforce. Curving tests and being lenient with grades isn't really doing students a favor. In some majors, not learning those skills might get the student fired or sued. But in other professions, the consequences could be much more serious. What if you're in the hospital and your nurse didn't learn her skill well enough? Professors have good reasons to give higher grades. If a professor makes his class difficult, it gets around. If two professors teach the same class and one has a reputation for being tough and the other is `an easy A," which class will fill up first? And if that other class doesn't meet the minimum enrollment...it will be cancelled. How long will professors be kept on if their classes fail to meet the minimum numbers? Grade inflation is a complex problem. Students, faculty and the administration all contribute to it, directly or indirectly. All three camps should come together to study the problem more thoroughly and Find acceptable solutions. 4

pen letter to Richard Matthews, responding to letter in The Vista April 1, 1997: Mr. Matthews, I certainly agree that no certain subject should take precedence over any other subject within the university setting. It is important that any college graduate have a working knowledge of everything from history of World War II or an appreciation of Michaelangelo to a basic understanding of cellular and molecular theory. All of these things lead to not only a well-rounded individual but to an understanding of how both -individuals and societies interact. Mr. Matthews, to this point I believe your argument to be valid and to contain a high degree of logic. However, it is at this point that I depart from you and your argument and your pseudologic. Allow me to refute your argument, Mr. Matthews, by counterpointing three statement that you made. First of all, youquery, "How often do math and science make the newspaper headlines or the lead story on the evening news?" My most immediate response is emphatically—NOT OFTEN ENOUGH!
However, as any well-read person knows, issues of mathematics, technology, and the life and physical sciences are a part of our daily lives. From the reports on the HaleBopp comet to the news specials or headlines informing the citizenry of illegal hazardous waste disposal, the newspapers, the nightly news, the weekly magazines, and the weekly news magazine shows area all chalk full of information generated from mathematicians and scientists. Mr. Matthews, I personally understand these noteworthy items even in the most superficial manner. It is my contention that to understand the popular reporting of science an individual must have a standard basis of knowledge from which to work. Secondly, Mr. Matthews, you seem to be of the opinion that scientific and mathematical inquiry and learning are merely warts on the gluteus maximus of society. You suggest that mathematicians use "algebra...(to) get something from nothing" and that scientists merely "split atoms, manipulate life in a test tube, and dabble with chemicals." Mr. Matthews,
do you know that by making spaghetti for dinner, you have employed basic algebraic theory and created a thermodynamic phenomenon? Mr. Matthews, do you know that mathematical theory and scientific inquiry are founded in the arts or logic and reasoning? I hesitate to assume that you do. The idea that danger abounds— or was it "lurks"—where "techno-beings" tread, definitely has the same idiot coefficient as Gerald Ford suggesting that there was no communist bloc. I could enumerate the many positive discoveries that have come from the fields of science and mathematics, but this newspaper would without question charge me a publication fee that my university graduate stipend would not cover. However, I would like to point out several of the more obvious things that have evolved from the minds of "technobeings"—potable water, treatment of sewage and other waste matter, cleaner burning fuels, safer buildings and roads, treatment of numerous diseases, communication links, etc. etc., ad infinitum.

information technology and the access to learning opportunities outside the regular classroom as reasons for the rise in the quality of students' work. Other possible explanations for this trend relate to the changing political and economic environment at UCO. "Students are much more empowered than ever before in this country," said Jacob. Jacob guesses the greater involvement of students in faculty review and university operations, as well as the litigious nature of today's society could also be factors in explaining why instructors are doling out more A's and B's than ever before. He explained that when a question arises about a grade or when a borderline grade exists, instructors may opt to award the higher grade to avoid conflict or for a variety of other reasons. "I'm not suggesting that the faculty is buckling in—there may simply be a greater leniency," he said. Baker said because his department has one of the lowest GPA's on campus, he didn't think grade inflation was a problem there, but he did offer some insight as to why this may be occurring elsewhere. "We (instructors) are under great pressure, because of lack of funds, to fill classes—if word gets out that this particular professor is a hard grader, it can affect enrollment," said Baker. "The student grapevine can be a killer." Jacob and Baker emphasized they didn't see this as something instructors might do on a planned,conscious level. The competitiveness for slots in graduate schools could also be why students are more grade conscious, said Baker. "The graduate schools are using scores on qualifying exams and GPAs as ways to weed out applicants." Baker explained some occurrences of grade leniency as simple caring and compassion for students. "It's a human problem—we don't want to ruin someone's career, so we're off a few points."

Dedication ceremony honors renovation workers' efforts Approximately 50 people were in attendance Monday afternoon for the dedication of Thatcher Hall. President George Nigh relayed the sentiments of Keith Weber, Student Association president, noting the celebration was in honor of pouring concrete. The dedication took place on the new Thatcher Hall patio. Those recognized for their efforts in the renovation were: • Farrell Rosson, interim associate director • Jim Hurd, architect for renovations on the first floor • Max Redman, electrical supervisor • Jack Turpin, carpentry and painting supervisor • Chris Liggins, plumbing supervisor

Editor
Cost of celebrations detailed By the time the University Center is dedicated in June, UCO will have spent over $6,000 on dedication parties. Major dedications, such as the library or business dedications, cost approximately $1,100 each, said Ed Pugh, executive assistant to the president. Park and groundbreakings usually cost about $100, with the exception of Heartland Park, which will be $600$700, he said. The money pays for printing, postage, programs and refreshments, he said.

Occasionally something will be donated, for example, Braumns donated ice cream for the Thatcher Hall dedication. Funds come out of the Presidents' Partners' Budget for 75 percent of the cost, which is made up of private donations to be used at President George Nigh's discretion, said Pugh. The other 25 percent is paid for out of the President's Special Events Budget, he said. 073 —By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer
you should be able to, with assistance from a reference librarian, find many more examples of usable science. Last of all, Mr. Matthews, you assume that "a person well-versed in ..algebra and advanced math is definitely not trained to negotiate peace on earth" and science and mathematics is "incongruent with solving problems in the real world of human travail" and that "we should be wary of turning the world and domestic policy-making over to professions" that are scientific in nature. First, allow me to point out that President James Earl Carter was a nuclear phycisist and that Israel and Egypt are still at peace due to his efforts. I believe that Adolph Hitler was trained as a political scientist. Secondly, scientific inquiry trains one to employ the most rational kind of thought involving the complete exhaustion of possibilities of occurrence with the subsequent arrival at a solution or the movement towards some other event that might be causal. To be more precise, scientific inquiry is dogged. It seems to me that these are the types of people that we would want making policy decisions, solving problems of human travail, and negotiating peace. Those of us in the sciences are problem solvers—not
problem creators. Mr. Matthews, perhaps you did not mean to come across as inane and uniformed. Perhaps this is an April fool's prank, or perhaps you received an ungratifying response to your coursework in general biology or physical science or college algebra. I do not know because I do not know you. However, if these are your truest feelings on the sciences, I would suggest taking an inventory of your household items and then attempt to find 5% of these items that do not have some indirect or direct relationship to science or mathematics. You have succeeded in accomplishing one thing—you have unified those of us on the southwest corner of the campus on a t least one issue. This is not the end of the response. This is merely the beginning. Fine tune your eyeglasses and find your thinking cap. And if you need either, I will be more than happy to loan you mine. Of course, I will need to confer with someone in the actuarial sciences to find an appropriate rate of interest on such a loan. —Monty A. Porter biology graduate student

S
tudents in the Liberal Arts Building no longer have to sit on the floor in the hall—they are now enjoying new student lounge and seating areas paid for by the university and student organizations. The Liberal Arts College was allocated $30,000 to make improvements to the building. The college spent $7,000 for a new lounge and seating areas, of that $700 was donated by student organizations and the remainder came from university funds allocated by President George Nigh. "Nigh gave us money to make improvements in the Liberal Arts Building, but we did not have enough to finish the upstairs student lounge areas, so I went to the student organizations to ask for help in getting the remainder of funds needed to finish the student lounge areas," said Assistant Dean Dr. Chris
Markwood. The . Collegiate Republicans, Young Democrats, Pi Sigma Alpha (the political science honor society), Alpha Kappa Delta (the sociology honor society), Phi Alpha Theta (the history honor society), Los Amigos (the Spanish club), TIARAS (the women's honor society) and Pre-Law Club either raised the money or already had the funds they donated. "It's great having some place to sit when you have a break and need to study...I don't have to sit on the floor in the halls anymore or walk over to the student center," said history major Crystal Allen. "It's about time we get some creature comforts here," said public administration major Babette Grout. —

The First Corporate Day will be at 12:30 p.m. April 9 in the Troy Smith Lecture Hall. Andrew T. Bunce, field director for Northwestern Mutual Life will be the guest speaker. Bunce manages recruiting, training, and supervision of all new insurance agents for Northwestern in Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. The topic for the meeting is "Starting Your Career In The 90's: The Seven-Step Process Of Selling Yourself." Bunce said he intends to spend time showing students phone techniques, centers of influence, how to ask for referrals, and interview techniques. "College students get the run around a lot," said Bunce. Helping students find a career that satisfies them is important to Bunce. Charles de Counce, president of the finance club helped put this meeting together. "This is not a regular meeting of finance or business," said Counce. "It is open to all majors." Jackie Durant, special events coordinator for the College of Business also had a part in putting Corporate Day together. Corporate Day will help students prepare for the real world and inform them of various challenges they will meet along the way, said Counce. Professional or casual dress will be the attire for this meeting. For additional information about Corporate Day contact Durant at 3412980, Ext. 2822.

Broncho baseball sweeps TSU Central Oklahoma started out the Lone Star Conference season 2-0 sweeping a doubleheader at Tarleton State on Sunday. In the first game Central's bats blazed State's pitching for 18 runs defeating State 18-10. Central got off to a quick start scoring three runs in the top of the first. State answered with two runs in the bottom half of the first. Central then blew the game open scoring seven runs in the second inning. Billy Shapp got the win for Central. In the second game Central defeated State 9-7. Center fielder Jerrod Nelson keyed the Central victory at the plate with a pair of homers and three RBIs. State left 13 runners on base. Brent Smerzynski got the win for Central coming out of the bullpen. The victory improves Central's overall to 22-11. On

In the first game, UCO won with a score of 7-3 ending NSU's 14-game winning streak. Williams was awarded the win pitching seven innings. In game two, NSU edged UCO with a score of 7-6. NSUis now 208.
espite the rain, UCO hosted the Central Oklahoma Relays Friday with Central Oklahoma gaining only three first place finishes. Chericka Bartells captured first in the heptathlon and the 100-meter hurdles. Bartells finished the heptathlon with 4.654 points, nearly 900 points ahead of the second place finisher Summer Simpson from Pratt. Bartells won the hurdles with a time of 14.7 seconds. She also finished sixth in the javelin with a throw of 95 feet, 5 inches. The only other Lady Broncho to place for a medal was Cathy Williams in the discus. She made a throw of 99 feet, 7 inches to place third. Central Oklahoma's only other first place finish was earned by Robert Powell in the long jump. Powell made a jump of 21 feet, 8 1/4 inches. Stan Ridley earned a second-place finish in the 110-meter high hurdles with a time of 15.1 seconds, just a tenth of a second off of Southern Nazarene's Cory Merritt, who took first with a time of 15 seconds. Former UCO quarterback Stanley Pena finished sixth in the men's javelin. In the relay events, the Central Oklahoma men finished third in the distance medley relay.

Sister university to host UCO students, professor during medical excursion to Mexico By Telannia Hytche
Staff Writer Six UCO students and a professor will stay at UCO's "sister university" for three weeks to expand their medical knowledge. With the aid of the Office of Outreach, the seven participants will visit the University of Puebla May 10 through 31. Puebla, which has approximately 1 million people, is located east of Mexico City. Jennifer Finney, Kisaundra Harris, Tammi Hollingsworth, Joni A. L. O'Neil, Elizabeth Palmer and Wendy Warning will supply and administer "top notch medicine and postnatal care" to the Indian tribes who live in the mountain areas around the city of Puebla, said Carl Reherman, executive director of Outreach. Many of the Indians in the mountains have maintained their culture and language. The Indians have no running water or electricity, said Reherman. "They are the lowest social class in Mexico." The students will not only learn medicine but they will also be serving as missionaries, said Reherman. "These students are really setting the standard,"

he said. The four juniors and two seniors will learn the medicine practice of Mexico and receive extensive practice on the basic medical care. Donald Barstow, assistant professor of nursing, traveled to Puebla last year for an international nursing conference and will accompany the six nursing students on the trip. Barstow is fluent in Spanish. He and Dr. Patricia LaGrow, chairperson of nursing, selected the six women. They selected the winners based on multicultural experience and exposure to Spanish All the students had to take a semester of conversational Spanish. "It is a real privilege for them (the six nursing students) to be able to go," said Barstow. The main purpose of this trip is for the students to learn empathy and culture specific nursing care, he said. Culture specific nursing care adds to the quality of care a person will receive while in a hospital. A grant received from Southwestern Bell paid for the trip expected to cost $7,000. The Office of Outreach is working on getting the funds to make this an annual event for the nursing program, said Reherman.
