UCO Student Association seeks to terminate midterm grades By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer
V'500:4 ,
T
he Student Association House of Representatives passed a resolution calling for the abolishment of midterm grades beginning in the fall semester of 1997. The Student Association listed several reasons for terminating this service to the students: •The cost of producing midterm grades does not justify the expenditures. 'Midterm grades aren't an accurate reflection of student progress. Some classes don't have a majority of their graded work assessed during the first half of the term. 'Other universities and community colleges have abolished this process. 'Students may request their grade at any time during the semester from their professor. The Student Association will not be signing this bill, however, until the Faculty Senate agrees to revisit their proposal to change the guidelines of Quiet Week, said Ben Harris, speaker of the Student Association. The Student Association made additions to the current Quiet Week guidelines, listed in the UCO handbook, stating that no new assignments or projects could be assigned that week, comprising more than 10 percent of the student's grade. The Faculty Senate vetoed that proposal in their April meeting by a vote of 11-7, with three abstaining. The Student Association will present their bargain at today's Faculty Senate meeting. 4

PLC celebrates 10 years, honors outstanding students By Marta Swain Sereno Student Writer The President's Leadership Council (PLC) held their annual awards banquet Sunday. President George Nigh welcomed members, alumni, and guests to the event which marked the 10th anniversary of the PLC scholarship program. The PLC scholarship program is based
on leadership ability and academic achievement. Members are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average and be actively involved in at least three campus organizations. For the first time in PLC history, alumni of the association were invited to attend the awards banquet. Nigh met with nearly 40 alumni and guests at a pre-dinner reception.
Nigh discussed establishing an alumni association for PLC members. This would allow alumni to stay involved with the organization and to help current members throughout life, said Nigh. "Having a PLC alumni association is a great way to keep in touch. It would give us the opportunity to give something back to a wonderful organization," said Chris Elerick, the 1994-95 PLC V See PLC, Page 3

tudents are getting a unique opportunity this week—for the first time in recent memory they'are being given the chance to have input in the budget planning process and the allocation of student activity fees. For the past several years, the UCO administration has developed a steady state budget for student organizations. Clubs and events got the same budget allocation they received the previous year with no review of their organization or its activities. This left new clubs out in the cold with no money budgeted to them. But as the new budget is being planned, things are different. All organizations are required to submit a budget request outlining their organization and its activities for the year. The requests will then be reviewed by three committees: the Student Activity Budget Committee, the University Budget Review Committee and the President's Cabinet. The new process may seem bureaucratic, but at least the students are getting a voice in how their student activity fees are being spent. If the committees listen to the student voices rather than campus politics when they make the allocations, 1997 could be the year equity and fairness dominate the budget process. A

Student looks at bigger picture
T
here was initally no reason for me to respond to Mr. Matthews' letter. However, with the rising numbers of letters on both sides of the debate, I have decided that examining the issue as a whole is important. First, I would like to address a minor point to Mr. Matthews specifically. In your letter you refer to the overemphasis on science and mathematics, and the underemphasis on subjects such as sociology. This is a dichotomous statement. Sociology is the science of studying human interaction and social structure. Also, I am not sure Mr. Matthews has fully considered his statements. The reason we place so much value on these subjects is because they are important to our everyday functioning. Basic number theory is necessary every time a person travels to the gas station to pump gas, so they don't take more gas than they can afford by realizing that twenty dollars worth of gas is more than the ten they have. Likewise, an understanding of the sciences is necessary to comprehend exactly why you shouldn't be smoking at the gas pump. More than that, though, our society is now almost completely supported by science. There's no way to escape this fact. Nine out of ten of the human beings living today wouldn't be if we weren't entrenched in the sciences. Debilitating injuries, congenital defects, and infections would kill most of us during childhood. Perhaps before attacking science and mathematics, Mr. Matthews should try to go to bed with the person he loves and realize that without the intervention of these two subjects (mathmatic equations govern most scientific relationships), the only thing in the bed would likely be two long decayed corpses. With that said, I would like to now take 'up in
Mr. Matthews' defense. He is right. We place too much importance on raw science and mathematics. Perhaps in our zeal to remain competitive we have lost sight of the goal of education, which is to produce a learned, thinking individual, and not mrerely a marketable one. I can think of no better example of this lack of learning than that demonstrated by some of the retalitory letters. I have already stated that most things we have are influenced by science, but if you just need an example of something non-scientific in the human world, look outside your window. The grass and trees and birds and bees exist independently of our primitive sciences, and could care less about them. As for the fact that science is responsible for vaccines and miracle operations, I have this to say: Science is also INTENTIONALLY responsible for guns, potassium cyanide, toxic waste and nuclear weapons. In fact, it is probably responsible for far more misery and suffering than joy. This point holds to people, such as Jimmy Carter and Hitler, as well. Granted, there are scientists that help the world and people trained in more intangible subjects that injure it. However, it is important to remember that Mengele (wasn't he involved with that Hitler guy?) is responsible for most of our current knowledge of the human body. Science without compassion is worse than no science at all. I would like to finish my defense of Mr. Matthews' line of thought by pointing out that if science was all that thorough in reasoning, then our fervently scientific graduate student would have realized the attacks on Mr. Matthews' intelligence were logically fallacious, probably spawned by the lack of an entirely cogent argument to put forward. Unfortunately, such VSee LETTER,

reasoning is the domain of philosophy, not science. I would like to conclude my letter by saying I think both sides, while being partially correct, have missed the point and demonstrated narrow vision. Mr. Matthews failed to take into account the importance of our more scientific disciplines, and his refuters failed to take into account that their refutations demonstrate the lack of thought and reasoning that Mr. Matthews was concerned about in the first place. Science and mathematics, humanities and philosophy, all deal with things. Things are not important in the grand scheme of human existence. What is important is the fact that we are all human beings alone, trying desperately to relate to nearly six billion other human beings that are essentially the same as us. This relationship doesn't come from things, or from any subject. It certainly doesn't come from spending our time quibbling and debassing each other because of some petty difference of opinions. It comes from tolerance and compassion (things that aren't taught at all in school). —Andrew Buchanan

Long-time journalism professor Dennie Hall sets his sights on retirement after 28 years
trays." It's a saying students won't be hearing after May 9 when Dennie Hall retires after 28 years as a journalism professor. This Friday witticism might be the first thing students remember about Hall but it's the other things he said in class that have made a difference once they became journalists. "I've become the freedom of information guru here at The World," said Welsey Brown. "He instilled into me that these things are important." The 1990 UCO graduate who is now Social Services writer at the Tulsa World said the things he learned in Ethics and Laws of the Press didn't seem immediately applicable when he was in the classroom, but when he got "out in the field those things hit home." "He tried to give you things you could apply as soon as you got into the workplace," Brown said. Hall's teaching extended beyond the classroom too. "The very first year after I went to work I made several calls and visits to him," Brown said. Hall said visits like this are part of what's made teaching enjoyable for him. "When a former student writes or calls or comes by and says 'I've learned to appreciate what you had to offer us'," Hall categorized those as the "good days." It's not just newsprint alumni who believe they've benefitted from Hall's teaching. Roy Howe, feature writer for the UCO public information office talked enthusiastically about Hall. "I believe he's one of the most
April 17, 1997
career knowledgable journalism instructors I've had," Howe said. "I tried to take every class he taught...It took me every class he teaches to realize it because he's knowledgable in so many areas in the journalism field." Howe said he applies what he learned in Hall's class every day. "He taught me what type of news releases papers will trash and what kind they'll follow up on and even run word for word." Howe also got practical experience in Hall's classes. "Most of his classes, you're required to address the class about something you've written," Howe said. "It was inevitable I'd be picked to address the class two or three times a semester per class about my work. That's also helped in the field I'm in today. "He continues to be a valuable resource to me in the professional field for questions about news style of writing," Howe said. "He's a good contact person for locating people throughout the state that work in newspapers." Ironically, Hall's teaching career happened almost by accident. He was almost finished with his master's degree at the University of Oklahoma and the director of the journalism school said Central State had an opening for someone who had a graduate degree and experience. "I thought, 'I might give that a try'," Hall said. Now, 28 years later, he's ready to try something else. Hall said he intends to do more. "I'm going to write more, edit more and read more."
"I expect to be working more at the Oklahoman." From 1970 to 1973, Hall worked nights on The Daily Oklahoman's copy desk and for the last six years he's been a part-time feature writer there. His "Assignment Edmond" column appears in the Community section weekly. Just what does "Don't forget to fill up the ice trays" really mean? "It seemed appropriate to tell the students something when they were leaving for the weekend," Hall said. "'Don't forget to fill up the ice trays' seemed more appropriate than `Don't forget to feed the cat. — It appears Hall is stuck with the saying, like it or not. "If I dismiss a class for the weekend and haven't said it, they'll remind me." —By Gayleen Langthorn

Alumnus named photographer of the year, other graduates receive honors By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer
F
our UCO graduates took home trophies from the Oklahoma Press Association's annual photo contest, including "photographer of the year." Mike Simons, who now works for Tulsa World, won "photographer of the year." He took first place for a picture essay of a boxer, who offers free training to kids on the north side of Tulsa to keep them off the streets. "A lot of time, the media gets a bad rap for bad news—this is about as good as it gets," said Simons. Simons won first place in the general news category with a
picture of a face-off between a Ku Klux Klan leader and a KKK rally protester. He also won first place in the sports action category. Simons said he owes a world of thanks to the Tulsa World photographers and his UCO professor Dr. Woody Gaddis, who taught him so much. Other recent UCO alumni winners include: •Tom Gilbert, Tulsa World •Jaconna Aguirre, The Daily Oklahoma •Michael Schumacher, Enid News and Eagle The 221 entries between 60 photographers were judged by Tom Beesley, photojournalist with Today Newspapers of DeSoto, Texas.

UCO College of Business professors and guests gathered April 10 at Seller's Crab and Steak House for the 14th Annual Southwest Business Symposium. The special guest speaker was Robert J. Geresi, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president of New York Bagel Enterprises. Geresi, a Brooklyn, New York native, left Wall Street and started his first store at the age of 23 in Stillwater, Okla. in 1986. New York Bagel Shop now has 69 stores in 16 states. "You are a true success when you can balance business life with your home life," Geresi said. In 1995 Geresi, along with co-founders Paul Sorrentino and Vince Vrana were awarded "National Entrepreneur of the Year" at a White House ceremony. Also, in 1995 Geresi was inducted into the small business Hall of Fame. Geresi entertained questions from the audience and received a variety of questions ranging from where he got his start-up capital to the reason why he does not serve sun-dried tomato bagels year around.

She has: 'Participated in the war in Vietnam, the Panama invasion and Operation Desert Storm 'Studied German, Russian and Chinese 'Attended Ripon College, Princeton and Harvard Universities 'Commanded the largest air base in the world, Eglin Air Force Base 'Served in the Pentagon and on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Been awarded military decorations including the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star. "I wasn't sure what I wanted to do (when she retired from the service in September 1991). I had this idea that I'd play golf in the mornings and write
PAGE
two or three hours in the afternoons," said Lovelace. She decided to apply a flare for story-telling with her adventure-filled, exciting life experiences in the service. "Writing has taken over my life. Now it's like a job-14 and 16 hours a day when I'm on a deadline, seven days a week. But, I've got a 'triple-A' personality. I couldn't slow down if I tried," Lovelace added. Her experiences might be published in a Soldier of Fortune magazine. However, Lovelace is an admitted, unabashed romantic. She loves happy endings and will draw her readers through murders, civil wars, or sizzling bedroom scenes to celebrate the fundamental relationship between a man and a woman — romance. "I'm married to the world's sexiest colonel there ever was or will ever will be," she said. The retired Colonels live in southwest Oklahoma City and own an antique business. "It's really great because we go on antiquing trips. I do research on books and he does buying for his shop," Lovelace said.
"We just have a great time." Lovelace has produced 22 novels with over 2 million in publication in 23 countries. Winner of numerous awards, including the Southwest Writers' Workshop Best Historical 1992 and Romantic Times Magazine's Best Kismet of 1993. Lovelace has made the USA Today and Waldenbook's "best sellers" list. Her stories have been published by Harlequin Historicals, Harlequin Stolen Moments, Silhouette Intimate Moments and Silhouette Desire. Lovelace has launched a new series of mainstream military thrillers. The action-adventure novels blend fact, fiction, intrigue and romance. The first book in the series, Line of Duty, is a November 1996 release from Dutton/Onyx. The second book in the series, Duty and Dishonor, is due out in mid-September 1997.

Southeastern stuns Lady Bronchos in doubleheader By Darrell J. Weidner Sports Writer
T
he Central Oklahoma Lady Bronchos lost both games of a makeup doubleheader to Southeastern Monday. "We were without two of our starters . . ." said UCO coach Gerry Pinkston. "We didn't have Ericka Stout
and Marina Cook, who was out with a sprained ankle," said Pinkston. In the first game, Southeastern defeated the Lady Bronchos 102. Amanda Payne received the win for Southeastern; while Lawanda Worthy fell to 2-6 this season. Leading the Lady Savages at bat was Lori Alexander. She made two hits that sent five
runners home. The Lady Bronchos' offense was led by sophomore Christy Horton. She scored two runs on two hits with an RBI. In the second game the Lady Bronchos fell to Southeastern by only two runs. Southeastern pitcher Sonni Johnson received the win bringing her record to 14-0. Stacey Dannels, of UCO, fell

"We were on our way to a comeback against Southeastern, who are No. 1 in the conference," said Pinkston Monday's loses brings the Lady Bronchos to 11-12 for the year. Central Oklahoma is scheduled to play a doubleheader against East Central 2:30 p.m. April 17 at the Lady Bronchos Softball Complex.
Woods wins one for the ages
f you ask Ouachita Baptist if Central Oklahoma's baseball team was a good host for Tuesday's doubleheader, the answer would probably be pure silence. The Bronchos put the heat on Ouachita's pitching staff with 20 hits in the first game. Final score was 21-5. Shortstop Brandon Bagwell had a home run and three RBIs for the Bronchos. Ryan Haley went four-for-four with two RBIs. Catcher Lindsay Smith from Oologah went two-for-two with two RBIs also for the Bronchos. In the second game, UCO had five players including shortstop/pitcher Wes McSwane hit home runs. UCO won 26-11. Broncho Pat Koerner hit three home runs, went four-for-four and had six RBIs. .to UCO is now 29-12 overall.
r
to 6-4 on the season. Southeastern's 9-7 win was spurred by second basemen Cindy Ellis. Ellis made one run and three hits with four RBIs. Sophomore Staci Dickerson led Central at bat with two runs and two hits that sent three runners home. "They all batted well, but we had a few untimely errors," said Pinkston.

Tiger Woods: He's Great! In a spectacular performance, Tiger Woods became the youngest man ever (at age 21) to win the Masters. The win was a ground-breaker for Woods, who like baseball's Jackie Robinson can transcend his field and increase minority involvement in the game of golf. Just look how great baseball is now, 50 years after Robinson broke the color barrier in the once white dominated sport. The PGA Tour used to have a all-caucasian clause. Woods became the first black ever to win one of golf's four major championships. Woods' win came in the southeast where it used to be the only blacks allowed on any golf course were caddies. Augusta National just accepted it's first minority member just six years ago. After a playing in a practice round last year with Woods, Jack Nicklaus said that he thought by the time Tiger was finished he could win 10 Masters. Nicklaus has won a record six Masters in his career. CBS sports commentator and

former U.S. Open champion Jerry Pate sees Woods as a favorite to capture the Grand Slam of golf, the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship. No one in modern day golf has ever captured the Grand Slam. " I think it's possible to do it," said Woods. "Phil Mickelson won four tournaments last year. If you win the right four tournaments, you can win the Grand Slam." With Tigers' remarkable talent and length anything could happen.

roncho leftfielder Anthony Cellers hits a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to seal a first-game victory. Jarred McAlvain goes fourfor-four with four RBIs, setting a single-season school RBI record with 61 in the second game. All courtesy of a bunch of Buffalos from West Texas A&M University on Monday in Edmond. After splitting a doubleheader on Sunday against the Buffalos, UCO squeezed through the first game 3-2 after the single from Cellers who scored Bronchos Pat Koerner and Jerrod Nelson. Broncho senior Michael Fox pitched seven innings, striking out three, allowing three hits and giving him his seventh win of the season (7-2). The Buffaloes scored two in the fifth innings increasing their

lead by one but were outgunned by Broncho batters who had nine hits to WTAMU's three. Buffalo and Oklahoma City native Jason Patrick with a 6-1 record reeived the loss. UCO followed the pitching arm of Jeff Baty who struck out 11 Buffalos and the hitting of first baseman McAlvain in the second game blowing out WTAMU 12-2. McAlvain homered in the fourth giving him his eighth run around the bases this season and tieing fellow Broncho Koerner in that category. McAlvain and Koerner also lead the Bronchos with .445 and .433 batting averages respectively. All UCO starters including designated hitter Koerner recorded hits off of a barrage of four Buffalo pitchers. Baty with a 7-1 record has a 4.39 ERA for the season. UCO is 27-12 for the season and 7-1 in the Lone Star Conference. No. 24 WTAMU is 25-14 and 4-4 on the LSC.

Making a haul at wholesale heaven. • •
A
s we all know from those revolting 1980's perfume commercials, today's woman must not only bring home the bacon, and fry it up in a pan, she must also smell like yesterday's movie star. But let's face it, we don't have time for all three. Modern "conveniences" have turned shopping for the family into a nightmare of flat-bed carts and orange-vested vendors. I'm talking about wholesale "clubs" where all the members are required to drive vehicles that require a commercial license and are equipped with fork lifts. I belong to "Dan's Dollar-AMinute Palace," and by the time I finish shopping, I smell more like a stevedore on a fish dock than an Ingenue. You can save a lot of time and money with your Dan's card. The only problem is you have to buy such massive quantities that you must plot with your friends to consume it all. My buddy Toni and I collaborated to see what we both "needed," planning to split the cost and the groceries. The buddy system also prevents
shoppers from committing impulse buys, like when I bought my son a commercial grade snow-cone machine for his third birthday. This weekend Toni and I planned to split a case of Dan's motor oil for our trucks. We purchased two boxes of 48-count taquitoes, five pounds of cheddar cheese, three turtle cheesecakes, an assortment of mini-quiches, a gallon of pancake syrup, a five pound box of Krustease Cookie/Indian FryBread Mix. We rounded it out with a 50 pound tub of Cheer, a 24-pack of Hanes underwear and 60 LifeTime Guaranty light bulbs. "If we eat all this our new underwear won't fit us," said Toni at the checkout. I realized she was right and went back and loaded an 800-count bottle of Thermogenic Fat Burner pills, a beer making kit and a gross of socks. I wasn't sure what size to get because the feet in our families come in all different ones. We finally compromised with medium. Back in line, Toni started reading the ingredients in
the Fat Burners—mostly chili peppers and caffeine. I sent her back for the 600-count of Rolaids Calcium Plus. Our total was an hour and forty-five minutes or $150 each. Back at home, I spent the next two hours putting the stuff away. My son came home, peered in the pantry and said "There's nothing to eat." "Come with me, we'll look in the freezer," I advised. I prepared him a buffet of taquitoes, quiche and cheesecake. He looked at the items he had previously begged for when they were free samples as if they had come from between the cushions of our couch. "Can I borrow a couple of dollars? I have to eat before I unload that vat of detergent. I have ball practice and I'm out of clean socks. The ones you bought don't fit anybody. Michael's using them for a kite tail." I did what any smart, modern shopper would do. I sat down, ate the buffet and wept, then washed it down with a couple dozen Fat Burners.
My daughter called from the kitchen, "It's for you, Mom. Toni." "I've got it. Lisa, open some windows. It's stuffing in here. Hi Tony, what's up?" She was hysterical, mumbling something about hiding all the junk she'd bought before her husband, Jimbo, got home from the hardware store. I told her I'd put on a batch of beer and we'd work it out. When she arrived we sat on the deck and mourned the good old days like on movies from the `40's where the heroine belonged to a bridge club instead of a shopping club and would have called the delivery boy for any item she needed. We sipped our beer. "Are you warm," I asked. Before she could answer, Jimbo appeared with a small paper bag of nails. "Did you two make it in for the oil? I'm a quart low," he said. "Mary, you look feverish."
1""ir
"We forgot. I'll go back to Dan's," said Toni. "Here, Jimbo, have a taquito." "And get some more Rolaids," I yelled after her. "We've got 750 more Fat pills to take." If I'm going to be a skeleton, at least I want to be a strong one.

Fall course to explore role of female dieties in religion
W
hy is there such animosity toward female deities? Students will have the opportunity to survey and examine the religion of female deities in a humanities class offered this fall, "When God Was A Woman." "Goddesses reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East, worshipped for fertility, revered as wise creators, sources of universal order..." said Dr. Siegfried Heit, associate professor of humanities and philosophy. However... "Goddesses don't exist in Judaic, Christian, Islamic cultures...the Bible doesn't even have a word for Goddess." "There is clear-cut evidence of the resurgence of the 'Mother Goddesses'... especially in Latin countries. Mary is no longer simply the Virgin mother of Jesus, but is elevated to the position of 'Mother of God'...almost the fourth person of the Godhead," said Heit. Heit's course is structured to be both entertaining and enlightening. The three-hour credit class seeks to answer: Why and how did the change come about? Why are the three monotheistic religions male oriented and antagonistic toward women and female deities? For information, call Heit at 341-2980, Ext. 5633. A
