The Student Voice Since 1903

Special students create art work Projects to be exhibited in Donna Nigh Gallery Workers' comp bill fine despite changes, governor says OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gov. David Walters says the workers compensation reform package is a strong one, but it would be better if lawmakers restored some provisions he advocates.

Among Walters' proposals deleted from the bill are ones that call for a managed care system for treatment of injured workers and for a new division on the Court of Appeals to handle workers compensation cases.

He said legislators had added some good proposals to the bill, including one that freezes medical rates.

New budget still requires belt-tightening TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Each month, Bob Johnson adds his retirement income and Social Security and subtracts his bills. If he comes up short, he skips golf or the theater.

President Clinton's budget will spend $264.1 billion more than the government expects to earn, an accounting practice that families like Johnson's couldn't imitate.

And while Clinton's budget proposal actually lowers the deficit from a projected $322 billion this year, some families are unjaded — some are incensed — at the government's latest failure to stay in the black.

"You just cut out all your spending for extracurricular activities," says Johnson, 66.

Consumer prices stable; inflation worries down WASHINGTON (AP) Consumer prices edged up only 0.1 percent in March, helped by the smallest medical care inflation in nine years, the government said Friday in a report that eased inflation worries.

The slight, seasonally-adjusted increase in the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index followed increases of 03 percent in February and 0.5 percent in January.

More importantly for economists, the core inflation rate — prices excluding the volatile food and energy sectors — has risen at a 43 percent annual rate so far this year, compared with 3.3 percent for all of last year.

Staff Writer An exhibition of art work by Putnam City special education students will be shown in the Donna Nigh Gallery in the University Center of the University of Central Oklahoma. The exhibition opening is from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. April 17 and it will run through April 30.

The exhibition is a result of a practicum program in which UCO art students visited special education students to implement art projects, providing hands-on experiences in public schools.

Art students from UCO worked mainly with Putnam City students. The practicum, headed by Dr. Jo Ann Adams, associate professor of art, was funded through a grant from the UCO graduate college.

"Prior to this, I did a pilot study in '91'92," said Adams. "We worked with special education students at Cross Timbers Elementary in Edmond. We worked with three special education classes. That's what gave me this idea."

The project offers visual arts activities for the handicapped that may prove beneficial, said Adams.

"Art can ease frustration, it can provide profound valuable forms of expression, muscular control and increase perceptional awareness," Adams said. " If they can succeed in one area, then that carries over into other areas. So many of them are aware that they cannot do some things. But, if

they can do something very well, then it carries over."

Adams added that the art projects also help them to observe more, discriminate between colors , shapes and textures and to stimulate their imagination.

"We had a great time," said Hilde Krauss, teacher at Mayfield Junior High School in Putnam City. "It was an opportunity to have fun without being inhibited. We don't usually get an opportunity to do neat things like this."

The exhibition will include paintings as well as weavings, print makings and lifesize self portraits.

"Mrs. Nigh has a long standing relationship with special education people," said Adams. "I really applaud her. She believes that the handicapped should have the same opportunities as other people. From what I understand, Mrs. Nigh will be at the opening . 9, The exhibition's opening celebration is open to the public.

Former student to speak on AIDS

By Connie Price

Student Writer "AIDS Is A Treasure" will be the topic of guest speaker Mike Hawkins at the Baptist Student Union on the University of Central Oklahoma campus April 15. Hawkins will speak at the BSU's daily devotional from 12:35-1:00 p.m. and at an evening session from 7-8 p.m.

Hawkins, a former UCO student, travels the state sharing his personal testimony with others. A former homosexual, he tested positive for the HIV virus in 1988.

The diagnosis of AIDS was made in December 1991.

But Hawkins considers AIDS to be a blessing. On a personal level, he has redefined the acronym AIDS, which means Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, to an Adventure In Divine Submission.

Hawkins says although provided a Christian atmosphere while growing up, he struggled with his homosexual feelings.

UCO yearbook a gem; staff just as polished The end of the semester is quickly approaching. It's a time for students to reflect on the joys they experienced during the past few months. What better way to treasure those memories than by buying a University of Central Oklahoma yearbook?

Due to the problem of not having a full-time faculty adviser for the yearbook, the staff considered not even having a yearbook. No yearbook would be a great misfortune to students, faculty and tradition.

Despite the struggles of a continuing lack of interest, current staff members have pulled together to construct a topnotch publication.

This year's Bronze Book is a keep-sake of UCO's "Best and Brightest." The small staff worked long hours to make sure a cross-section of UCO students and their accomplishments were recognized.

The Bronze Book has long been recognized for is quality of excellence and has even been used as a prototype for high school yearbooks across the nation. It's dismissal would be a great misfortune.

So, cheers to an excellent Bronze Book staff. Thanks for caring enough about UCO and its students to take valuable time out of your days to bring us such an excellent piece of work!

And students, don't let the joys of college life fade into a dusty corner in the back of your minr!. Buy a yearbook and have a tangible source of evidence to prove you really did go to college.

Goo djob people Last Wednesday students from different majors and nationalities met in the Liberal Arts building to present, demonstrate, or otherwise illustrate their academic achievements.

Presentations included an African storyteller, excerpts from novels written by students, and works by actors and musicians.

A good job well done. Crosscurrents V was indeed a success.

Student applauds 'gang's' efforts

4 F

very night at 10 o'clock a `gang' of students come out from the physical plant with a mission. Their mission is to clean up all UCO classroom buildings in just four hours.

They clean the chalkboards, sweep and mop the rooms, collect all the drink cans and papers left by the students. I am sure Vice President Al Gore will have aheart breaking if he sees the amount of drink cans that go to UCO dumpsters everyday.

When these students come back finishing their job at 2 a.m., they are satisfied because they have worked hard. When most UCO students are resting at home, it's nice to have a bunch of energetic,

hard-working students who make sure that the classroom would look neat the next day.

When I was twelve years old, someone asked me who is the hero of my life. I remember I had no answer. Throughout my life, I have searched for a hero in vein.

There is no perfect person in this world. I think the real heroes live among the common people. When I see a student working hard in the dish room just to earn some money to stay in college; I don't see a common worker, I find the gods in them.

When I see Johnny fixing my sandwich everyday at Central Cafeteria, without losing her smile, I find myself blessed to have the

opportunity to have her.

These people work so hard, most of the time without any appreciation. When I get frustrated from my job or from my studies, I get inspiration to fight back from these people. You don't have to be a Michael Jordan or a Michael Jackson to be a hero. Be someone who's surrounded by the odds, to whom everything in life is going wrong, but he still manages to survive.

Through this letter, I just want to convey our appreciation to all hard-working UCO employees for making it such a great institution.

No one might know, but you are the unsung heroes of UCO. —

I

am writing to commend you on the group of bright, enthu siastic student reporters you advise at The Vista. Several members of The Vista staff have been to see me since I arrived at UCO on March 1.

The reporters ask intelligent questions about important issues, and their work is helping me in the job of making the Career Development & Placement (CD & P) office an effective, professional operation.

Many of the student reporters I speak with agree that one of the priorities of CD & P is to make its services known. Another important goal is to enhance the services we offer. May I tell you about how The Vista reporters are assisting in

these pursuits?

Jon Davis wrote an article a couple of weeks ago about my being hired as the new director of CD & P. After that issue came out, I received a call from an Oklahoma City employer who subscribes to various college newspapers. The employer told me that his company had stopped coming to UCO to recruit. After talking fora bit, we arranged to meet later this month to discuss resuming on-campus recruitment. All of this will likely lead to job offers for UCO grads- thanks to the article!

I also spoke with Carol Mills.

Carol wanted to know about the kiNexus job data bank. While she was in my office, I called the kiNexus company to find out more

about their services. They agreed to send me information and a contract which will enable UCO (free of charge) to sign up for their services. UCO students (for the cost of a computer disk) will be able to forward their resumes to a data bank which includes 600 employers.

Thank you, and thank all of the reporters for playing apart in helping UCO students find jobs. I appreciate The Vista's active role inbringing the standards of service to UCO that the students and alumni deserve.

"The customer wants to know Urbach and her staff of consult- `when are you going to get here,'"

Urbach said.

Another way of thinking about a business plan is relating it to college credit.

"You can take some nifty classes," said Urbach, "but if you don't have a plan, after four years what do you have?"

"Any education is extremely valuable whether it's business-related or not," emphasized Urbach.

"Also getting experience in your field — interning or apprenticing is very, very helpful."

UCO graduate June Owens credits her success in starting her accounting practice, since graduating in May 1989, to advice and experience she received as a res ult of working as a part-time student employee for the OSBDC. "In addition to doing typical student 'grunt work,' because of June' s accounting major, we placed her in direct contact with some of our small business clients," says Urbach. "June took them from receipts and grocery bags to some form of paper records. One of the values for her was getting her in real life situations. The examples in the accounting books are nothing like real life situations."

After graduation, Owens went to work on a part-time basis for Miles-Scott and Lippard, a small CPA firm where she continues to work while she builds her own clientele. Owens' specialty is setting up books and computerized accounting systems for businesses.

"It's important to get out there and get some experience," says Owens. "Interning has so many benefits. It lets you know — this is what I want to do — exactly.

Exhibition focused on unity, equality, harmony

By Carol Cole Student Writer The United Colors of Benetton exhibition will open May 1 at the City Arts Center.

"The people at Benetton are offering this exhibit to a select few across the country, so we were very fortunate to be selected," said City Arts Curator Paul Medina.

Described as compelling and thought provoking, the images that have been the core of Benetton' s advertising have stirred controversy since their inception, said Medina.

The photographs that will be on display in the Main Gallery at City Arts are from campaigns beginning in 1989. Conceived by Benetton Creative Director Oliviero Toscani, the goals of the

campaigns were not only to increase awareness of Benetton, but to establish a "vehicle for social change" and help "overcome human indifference."

When the campaign first began, the connections between all people and all nations were emphasized — united, equal and in harmony.

The campaign evolved in 1991 to pictures capturing actual people and places such as a nun kissing a priest, a newborn infant and a war cemetery.

In 1992, the campaign intensified with images that demanded a reaction from the viewer — a man dying from AIDS surrounded by his family, an oil covered bird in the Persian Gulf, an electric chair, a Zulu albino standing among her peers and a child amidst chaos and rubble holding a doll.

In the context of journalism, the images used in ads became more provocative. Critics of the campaign accuse Benetton of exploiting human tragedy — the position of the company is that they feel they must support a recognition of global issues.

Regardless of the intent, Benetton advertising has had a positive effect on the company's bottom line with profits showing a marked increase since 1990.

The Benetton exhibition will be displayed, along with the works of Randy Wallace, Basil Martin and the best professional and student entries of regional graphic arts competition Graphex 25, at the City Arts Center on the Oklahoma City State Fairgrounds.

The show will open with a gala reception May 1 and run through May 29.

UCO student elected to state post

By Tim Linville Staff Writer

The Oklahoma organization of Young Democrats recently elected a University of Central Oklahoma senior, Peter J. Regan, as a committeeman at the national Young Democrats meetings.

"I' II represent the Young Democrats of Oklahoma at the four to six national meetings every year and report to back so we can stay abreast of activities at the national

and regional levels," said Regan.

Regan was elected by those who attended the state convention last month.

"I am excited to have the opportunity to work with other Young Democrats from across the country," said Regan. "We will work to strengthen the Democratic Party."

Regan has worked in the offices of Governor David Walters and Senator David Boren.

He is currently employed as an administrative assistant for UCO President George Nigh.

Theater department to present Greek tragedy

By Heide Brandes Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma Theater Department will present its production of the Greek tragedy "Antigone". The play will show at 8 p.m. April 22-24 and at 2 p.m. April 25 in Mitchell Hall.

A production of a Greek tragedy at UCO is a rare treat, said Dr. Don Bristow, director of theater.

"It is a difficult style to perform," he said. "Most modern young actors aren't real familiar with Greek tragedies at all. It presents quite a challenge."

The last time the theater department performed a tragedy was 24 to 25 years ago, said Bristow.

The conflict of the play is the rights of the individual versus the

rights of the state, Bristow said.

The two opposing views are personified by "Antigone."

The cast members are: Laura Hartpence as "Antigone;" Renee Krapff as Ismeme; Ben Hall as Creon; Jimmy Driskill as Haimon ; Matt Boethin as the sentry; Jason Leyva as the messenger; Darren Park as Teiresias; Bonnie Lanthripe as Eurydice; Jason Burkhart as Choragus; Jennifer Donaldson, Sean Spencer, Rebecca Young, LaTrisha Anderson, Kevin Lowe and Adrian Cook as the chorus and Rhett Kruizinga as the guard.

"Antigone" will be the last production of the year.

Tickets for the show are $2 for students, $6 for adults and free with a valid UCO ID.

CEO speaks to students about preparing for business world

By Jon Davis Student Writer Dean Werries, president and CEO of Fleming companies, discussed some of the current challenges facing businesses April 7 with University of Central Oklahoma business students and faculty at the University Center Ballroom.

Werries also offered suggestions from a potential employer's perspective about how students could prepare for the business world.

The speech was part of the lecture series entitled "Oklahoma

Business Champions" and was sponsored by the College of Business Administration.

"As we approach the Clinton administration, there are a number of issues on the agenda that will have a profound effect on business in this country," Werries said. "These issues include a striker replacement bill, the broad-based energy tax and now corporate tax rates, the family and medical leave act and possible dramatic changes in labor law."

Offering students advice on how to get a job, Werries answered the

Multicultural Exposition '93 set Expo will feature student organizations, exhibits, food, arts

By Paul Brown

Student Writer The Multicultural Student Services Center along with the International Student Office of the University of Central Oklahoma will be sponsoring Multicultural Exposition '93 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 20 in Centennial Square (Thatcher Lake).

The expo will feature student organizations from UCO as well as off-campus organizations.

There will be exhibits, entertainment, food, arts and crafts, traditional ceremonies and more.

"Multicultural Exposition '93 is a program to give our student groups and friends an opportunity to present their culture," said Barry Lofton, coordinator of MSS. "We are just showing the university and the community the different cultures here at UCO. Those cultures will have a chance to promote themselves."

When discussing the entertainment aspect, Lofton said that some

groups will perform songs and dances that are customary with their country.

"The Chinese Student Association is going to do different songs and chants," said Lofton. "While black Greeks are going to be putting on a step show, which is in line with black fraternities and sororities. Afri-culture Student Association will be doing some storytelling, and possibly do some dances with drums that began in Africa."

Masters may be solution

By Michele Soh

Staff Writer Beginning a career or pursuing an advanced degree are issues graduates must consider, said Kathryn Greenlee, director of Career Development and Placement Services at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Greenlee said going to work immediately after getting a bachelor's degree is a means for graduates to discover whether their chosen field is the right one. Some students are just burnt-out and sick of school so they choose to work.

Bert Luallen, UCO graduate programs specialist said some programs need a student to have several years of experience. The Masters of Education program for school principals requires that a student have two years of teaching experience to be certified. But most other degree programs do not require any working experience.

Graduating advertising major Jane Lim said, in her field, she feels experience and creativity are what counts. When she does get an advanced degree it will probably be an MBA, said Lim. In the area of education, a master's degree is a benefit, and an MBA is a good idea too, said Greenlee. An advanced degree could lead to a promotion or salary increase, added Luallen.

"Talk to successful people in your field of interest and ask them whether they think getting a master's degree is beneficial and to what extent," Greenlee said.

The need for a master's differs from one career to another, she added.

Due to a tight job market, some people may want to make themselves more marketable, said Luallen.

Research shows that for each year spent in college, a person can increase their lifetime earnings substantially, said Greenlee. "You must decide what you want, love your chosen field of study, be prepared to sacrifice many things and know what a master's degree will and will not do for you."

"Employers put stock into your qualifications," said Greenlee. A master's degree reflects a person' s discipline, dedication and determination and does open some doors and create more options for an individual, she explained.

Statistics indicate that 17 percent to 18 percent of the U.S. population- has a baccalaureate; only 4 percent to 5 percent have obtained a more advanced degree than that, said Luallen, who received his master's degree after eight years of working.

There are also more noble reasons to work for an advanced degree, like the love for learning, wanting to be the best in your

chosen field or becoming a researcher, Greenlee said.

"I'll be more productive with a post baccalaureate," said graduating senior, Khadlid Awang, a finance major. Awang said he feels undergraduate courses alone cannot prepare students with the knowledge required to compete in the real world.

UCO has five master's degree programs: Education, Business Administration, Arts, Science and Music Education, of which there are 24 areas of specialization and 107 options.

For example, a student can work toward a Masters of Education in School Administration - Elementary.

In the end, the fmal decision is to get a personal one, based on the person's employment and financial situation and career goals, said Luallen.

LSAT GRE • GMAT Stressed?

to participate in the expo have been received from the Mainland Chinese Student Association, Malaysian Student Associaton, First American Student Association, Black Student Association, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

Lofton gave some insight on the off-campus organizations that will participate.

"We will have the Indian Nations Images that will bring artifacts and clothing that will be for sale. Ancient Threads and Posi-

tive Images, both sell AfricanAmerican specialties like books, clothing, jewelry and arts. The Nigh Institute will display Indian arts and pottery."

"Pepe's Mexican Restaurant of Edmond will be one of the providers of food. Other restaurants participating include, The Blue Moon Restaurant of Edmond, and the Edmond Mandarin Restaurant.

The event is free to the public, and all UCO students are welcome.

Broncho golfers fare well in UCO tourney

By Justin Harper

Sports Editor

Despite top-20 finishes by John Roberts and Sean Lee, Central Oklahoma's golf team was unable to win their third straight Central Oklahoma/KickingBird Classic.

The Bronchos did however, place in the top ten in the event held at KickingBird golf course last Monday and Tuesday.

UCO finished seventh in the 20 team field. The Bronchos finished with 925 strokes, which was 23 more than champion Abilene Christian.

ACU had the tournament's best score and the tourney's hottest golfer. Jeev Singh scored a tournament-low 70 strokes on the opening 18 holes, then backed that up with back to back rounds of 71 to take medalist honors with a score of 212.

The Bronchos were led by Roberts, who finished in sixth place with rounds of 72, 75 and 77 for a total of 224. Lee, who was golfing unattached for UCO finished in 19th place with rounds of 79, 76 and 75 for a 230 total. R.J. Walker also had a good tourney for the Bronchos coming in 22nd with a total of 231 after rounds of 76, 75 and 80.

Other scores for Broncho golfers were: Casey Eden who shot a 77 in the first round, a 78 in the second and a 83 in the final round; Jason Freeman who shot 77, 75 and 87 and Randy Keck who managed a 79, 82 and 80 in his three rounds of play.

The top five finishers were ACU, followed by Southwestern Oklahoma with a team score of 912, Oklahoma City University, 914; Phillips University, 918 and East Central at 925.

Webber needs 'timeout' to acknowledge respect

By Justin Harper

Sports Editor

The last time we all saw Michigan's super sophomore Chris Webber he was walking dejectedly off the floor of the Superdome last Monday, having just lost his second straight chance at a national championship. The marvelously talented Webber had just moments before etched himself in Final Four history. The way he did it, however, was ironic in that it was an error that overshadowed a great performance.

For 39 minutes and 47 seconds Webber had played almost flawlessly, scoring 23 points and grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds, all the while trying to shut down North Carolina's seven-foot center Eric Montross.

An excellent performance to be

sure, however, it's the scene of Webber, signaling for a timeout that his team didn't have with :13 showing on the clock and his team down by two, that will overshadow any of his monster dunks on the night. The resulting technical foul gave the Tar Heels two shots, the ball and a national title.

It was definitely a tragic blunder, but before you utter that inevitable phrase "Poor Chris," consider the fact that this is a man who claims to get less respect than Rodney Dangerfield.

Despite all the praise and admiration heaped on this kid, apparently it's not enough to coax his 20 year-old ego.

This sensational forward has been claiming all season that he and his teammates weren't given

the respect they deserve.

Granted the media has been harsh on the Wolverines because of all their Miami-like taunting, but never was Webber considered anything but one of the nations top players.

Feeling bad for Webber is only natural, I wouldn't wish that

Column timeout fiasco on any player.

However, I have yet to hear any mention of Webber's miscue without some statement to the effect of "Without Webber they wouldn't have even gotten to the final." A quote like that is definitely a sign of respect.

In Webber you have a player who is a concensus AllAmerican, a player who has been to the finals in each of his

first two years and a player who has had superlatives strewn about him since he could first dunk a basketball in the eigth grade. Yet, somehow he feels he's not been given his due.

If there is a fan, player or coach in the land that doesn't respect Chris Webber as a basketball stud, they should hop on the next available paddy wagon. There is no quarrelling that he is one of the best players in college basketball. Everyone, including Webber, knows that.

So why is he admonishing the media for heaping on all the same attention he and the fab five reveled in last season when they were being touted as the finest group of freshmen in history?

Because of all the flack

Webber has had to take as being the "hub of the wheel" that is the fab five, Webber has stated that he probably will turn pro this year.

Sorry, Chris but if you think you're going to get more respect playing in the superstar-filled NBA as a rookie for some sub .500 team rather than hanging around Ann Arbor one more year and racking-up a possible national title and probable Player-of-the-year award, you are making a serious mental air ball.

Besides, for someone who desires more respect and doesn't like "living in a glass house," dropping out of school and strapping on a Dallas Mavericks jersey is definitely not the way to go.

WORLD WRAP continued frorn page 1

Faith healer crucified in sequined gown KAPITANGAN, Philippines (AP) — Men dressed as Roman centurions hammered nails into the palms and feet of a faith healer dressed in sequins today to commemorate Jesus' death on the cross.

Amparo Santos, also known as "Mother Paring," was among at least 16 devotees who were crucified in bizarre rituals that have become a fixture of Good Friday celebrations in central Luzon Island north of Manila.

In this town, 20 miles north of Manila, thousands of other zealots, their heads wrapped in red hoods, p:bracled through the streets, whipping their backs bloody with clusters of bamboo sticks.

They believe that floggings and crucifixions are ways to atone for their sins, seek favors and receive healing powers.

"I will go on with this indefinitely," said Mrs. Santos, whok was dressed in a red velvet sleeveless and sequined dress. "Jesus told me I perform well."

MSG doesn't enhance life, woman says WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration is being urged to put tough new restrictions on MSG by consumers who say the flavor enhancer is a potential killer.

But many scientists say the chemical, when ingested in typically small amounts, is harmless. Blaming MSG for symptoms that range from headaches to life-threatening asthma is bowing to superstition, they say.

One witness, Mary Susan Bowers, 23, of Santa Fe, N.M., said the flavor enhancer known formally as monosodium glutamate nearly ruined her life, listing diarrhea, facial swelling, asthma, depression and extreme fatigue among her symptoms.

Theater renovation uncovers gold dust BRENTWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Michael Boening, 14, was helping his father refurbish the Delta Cinema last month when the teen-ager found a small, moldy bag of gold dust tucked behind the wall boards.

It felt like a bag of dirt and I poured it out Michael said "I knew it looked like gold, but I didn't know if it was real or not."

The 19 ounces of gold dust was appraised at $6,200.

A former owner of the theater said original owner Charles Peterson, a vaudeville magician, probably stashed the booty sometime in the late 1930s.

Birth control labeling gets revisions WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government, stepping up its fight against sexually transmitted diseases, will require that birth control pills, condoms and other contraceptives spell out on packages how far they go to protect against disease.

The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday it was strengthening its regulations as part of a campaign to educate the public.

The regulations will require that manufacturers of birth control pills state on packages that they don't stop the spread of disease.

Latex condoms will have to say they must be used correctly to be effective.

Precycle; save the planet

By Bill Hamilton

Staff Writer Students, faculty and staff at the University of Central Oklahoma can help make a difference by recycling white office-type paper.

"We encourage that everyone get involved with recycling," said Larry Rankin, assistant director of the physical plant.

"In order for recycling to be worth doing, people need to buy recycled material," said Jane Byram, material control tech.

The public isn't involved in buying recycled paper to make a demand, she said.

"The cost (of recycled paper) is a few cents more than new mate-

rial because of the cost in processing (the paper)," Byram said.

"On campus we have full support and encouragement by the administration," Rankin said. We encourage everyone to get involved, he said.

The state is also involved with recycling, and recognizes the need for recycling, Rankin said.

Another aspect of recycling that people need to be aware of is precycling, Byram said.

Precycling is looking for containers that can be recycled before they are bought and looking for containers that have already been recycled, said Byram.

Not very many people use the purple bins on campus because they only get emptied once a week.

There is no way of knowing exactly how many people use the bins because they are too full and paper is still being thrown in trash cans, Rankin said.

The amount of income that can be made by recycling is growing.

If people would take out staples and remove paper clips, more money will be made because it cuts down on the processing cost of the paper.

Computer paper is also worth more because of the amount of pulp in the paper, Rankin said Byram siad they would like to recycle NCR (non carbon triplicate) paper and color paper shortly.

There will be a table at Earth Day to discuss and answer questions about recycling, Byram said.

UCO police investigate bogus tickets Suspect attempted to sell tickets for fraudulent concert

By Heide Brandes

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Police Department is investigating the reported sale of fraudulent Robin Williams concert tickets at UCO, said Sgt. Chris Wooldridge of the UCO police department.

On March 30, a UCO student told police he was approached near Thatcher Hall and the University Center about buying tickets to a Robin Williams concert that was not taking place.

The student said the tickets were

being sold for $10 a couple.

"That evidently hit him as wrong," said Wooldridge. "He contacted us and asked if we'd check into it."

The police contacted Laughs, a comedy club in Bricktown where the concert was allegedly taking place.

"They said no," said Wooldridge. "From the description, they were well-made tickets.

They looked like regular concert tickets. Whoever is trying to sell them has access to a printer or maybe a copy center..."

Though the UCO police department has heard no other corn-

plaints, Wooldridge said that several suspects are being investigated.

In addition, the UCO police is checking with other campuses about the bogus tickets.

"We'd heard that (the University of Oklahoma) had the same thing happen but we weren't able to verify that," Wooldridge said.

"I wouldn't doubt it if it happened someplace else."

Anyone who has purchased the Robin Williams tickets or who has been approached to buy tickets is urged to contact the UCO Police Department, said Wooldridge, at 341-2980 Ext. 2345.

Greeks clean streets

By Molly Drew Student Writer

Six University of Central Oklahoma organizations helped in the Edmond clean-up day held April 3.

Members from Acacia, Alpha Tau Omega, Delta Zeta, Presidents Leadership Council, and the Public Relations Student Society of America woke up early on a Saturday to pick up trash.

"It was exhausting," PRSSA member Cynthia Kreiner said,

"and a lot of hard work, but it was worth the effort because you don't realize how dirty our city is until you go out there to pick it up."

In all, 47 organizations helped with the clean-up, said Judy Fleetwood, chairman of the Edmond clean-up day and Edmond Adopt-A-Street.

"The Edmond clean-up day has gone on for 10 years, Fleetwood said, "and this was our best ever."

Seventy-five miles were picked up by 28 Adopt-A-Street sponsor groups and 19 clean-up day volunteer groups.

"If every person picked up trash

UCO students to participate in dance production

By Rebecka Slaughter

Student Writer

A dance production of Aladdin and his Magical Lamp will be performed by University of Central Oklahoma dance instructor Cece Farha's Range of Motion studio students at 7:30 p.m. April 19 - 20 at the Mitchell Theater.

"The show is for the kids, they

love Aladdin. The wonderful part is that the show will highlight so many types of dance including ballet, funk and different styles of jazz. Many of the dancers should look familiar. We have girls involved with the Sundancers, the Cav-Kids, the recent Garfield show and also Lyric Theater, as well as many UCO students," Farha said.

The one-act show will feature 70 people in 120 roles which will include the Princess, performed

by Shelby Johnson; the Sultan, performed by Chris Turner ; market people; harem girls and various animals. The parts of Aladdin, the Genie and the Sorcerer are yet to be announced.

Johnson, who has been dancing for nine years and attends Bishop McGuinness High School, practices around nine hours a week.

"I'm really happy about being the Sultan, shocked but happy. It (dancing) is different than anything I' ye ever done before and it will take some work but it will be interesting," said Turner.

"I'm really excited. I've been with Cece since sixth grade, but the studio has never done a story show; although, we have done a lot of other performances and competitions," said Johnson, whose parents both teach at UCO. The production will include 145-150 costumes made by UCO student Phyllis Finucane, master tailor and designer .

"We want a production that will knock the audience's socks off... first class, glittery, glitzy and as flashy as possible. If things go right, the costumes, with the help of the sets, will give the dancers a magical effect," Finnucane said.

Doug Getzoff, from UCO Scene

Shop will be in charge of set production.

"There will be three or four set changes. We're trying to create the essence of Aladdin," said Getzoff.

"We're working on special effects, hopefully we'll have pyrotechnics involved in the show," said Farha.

Tickets are $5 each and are available through the Range of Motion studio at the corner of Penn and Hefner in Oklahoma City, 3414533; the Designers Touch at 205 Fast Ayers in Edmond, 341- 4533; or from any Range of Motion student.

the Research Colloquium in the University Center.

Myers presented the research at the national meeting of Interior Design Educators Council in Coer d' Alene, Idaho April 2.

The research was a ten year follow-up on entry-level competencies needed by interior designers. It is used as a guide for educators to prepare their curriculum.

Questionnaires were mailed to members of the Interior Design Educators Council, members of the American Society of Interior Designers and members of the Institute of Business Designers.

The purpose of the results of the educators to the organization's and to see how it has changed in the last ten years.

Myers said there was no significant difference among the three groups. They were in total agreement among competencies such as drafting, codes, color, product sources and presentation.

Myers and Larson received funding last summer from a UCO faculty research grant and from the home economics department.

Myers said she started the research last August and it has been ongoing all year.

"The research was quite a process," said Myers. "It's not typical for a university to give release time to research, so we worked on this in addition to our classroom duties."

"The next step is to submit the research to the Journal of Interior Design for publication," said Myers.
