New technology administrator seeks growth for UCO By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer After a year-long vacancy, UCO has hired an assistant vice president for information technology to help the university play catch-up. On July 1, Dr. Cynthia Rolfe will join UCO's staff. She will leave behind the University of Nebraska at Omaha, where every office, the student government, the international student associations, the library and the school newspaper have Internet access, she said. Rolfe said although she will work mainly with computers, technology at a university includes scanners, digital cameras, VCRs that plug into computers and data projectors. "I can be the interface between technical personnel and the user," she said. "We have a lot of growing to do, both on the academic and administrative level, but we can't do it all at once." She said she wants all faculty offices to have Internet access so students and professors can communicate See ROLFE, Page 4

oday is Earth Day, an opportunity to celebrate our planet. The festivites are scheduled to take place around Broncho Lake, rippling waters and shooting fountains that weren't there the last time UCO celebrated Earth Day. Many things have changed about UCO in the last year. Grass and flowering trees now line the sidewalks where a year ago red dirt carried by the wind coated students in a layer of dust. Classes now meet in new additions that were little more than architectural plans in April 1996. But some things haven't changed. Food wrappers and empty soda cans still blow across campus and many of them find their way into the new lake. How will you celebrate Earth Day? It only takes a few extra steps to throw the empty wrapper in the trash can instead of just dropping it in the parking lot. We are all custodians of the planet. We should make every day Earth Day. A

Seat belt law defended L
et me start by saying very plainly that I don't even know Brian Morton, let alone talk to him, so I grow weary of him telling me what I say. I say that if you don't know me, keep your intimations about my thoughts to yourself. It's arrogant and annoying. Not only that, but its an enforcement of one person's though processes on another's, which is something Mr. Morton seems to ostensibly be against. Oops, I guess I should move on to the issue of the seat belt law. First, I will concede that Americans do things that are not only bad for their health, but also cost society money. However, there are several things that make not wearing a seat belt different than eating too many Big Macs (to take Mr. Morton's example). The first difference is that unless a person collapses from coronary failure in their car, which is highly unlikely, they aren't going to bring the functioning of a good part of their society to a standstill and prevent untold people from getting to jobs, appointments, or families because they're stuck in traffic waiting on a coroner. If a person doesn't wear a seat belt and smears themselves across a hundred yards of highway, they're going to do exactly that, which makes not wearing a seat belt an infringement of other people's rights. The second difference is that the state has to pay the psychiatric bills of the civil servants that have nervous breakdowns and suffer from chronic nightmares induced by exposure to dead and dismembered bodies. I understand this is a
common problem among emergency workers. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that since this type of trauma is generally preventable by such a simple action as buckling a seat belt, it's also an infringement on someone else's rights. Next, the state understands that many people are irresponsible, even where the welfare of others are concerned. Requiring all people have their seat belts buckled might be the extra push that someone needs to be responsible, and (just as an example) buckle their children's seat belts before they go for a drive. As an aside, this is also why the state is suing R.J. Reynolds. The tobacco company is being sued, in large part, because they allegedly tried to introduce a controlled substance (namely nicotine) into a restricted population (namely children), regardless of the fact that nicotine has a very real potential to be fatal to the population in question. If you don't believe me, pick up a box of nicotine patches and read the warning concerning nicotine poisoning and children. Finally I would like to close be saying I don't think this debate falls under the umbrella of "liberties" or "rights," especially since driving, in and of itself, is considered a privilege. Oh, and there is a way to very neatly avoid the seat belt law. Buckle your seat belt. It takes about five seconds and completely eliminates the possibility of a costly ticket. —Andrew Buchanan UCO student

Bravery, smiles prevail at Special Olympic competition By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
A sailor in full dress whites wove through a convoy of athletes on wheel and on foot. A gymnast dressed in her USA Olympic Team jacket led the oath that was repeated in halting tones. "Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt," said gymnast Shannon Miller. Thursday at Wantland Stadium, 500 Special Olympians and 600 volunteers along with Miller, UCO President George Nigh, Donna Nigh and an Air Force Honor Guard met for the 1997 Capitol Area games. The Capitol Area's meet is the state's largest regional Special Olympic competition with qualifiers going on to the Summer Games at OSU in May. Like other competitions, venues are divided by age, sex and level of strength. Adult atheletes also compete.
Unlike other competitions, there are no losers or lack of bravery. Besides the usual softball throw, dashes, jumps and walks at Thursday's games, there was a 25-meter and a 30meter wheelchair race. "Mama, I'm gonna go all the way around this track and I'm gonna leave skid marks right there," said one boy. Across the field in Hamilton Field House, a still different, and perhaps .higher form of competition was held. There were no bands or celebrities here, but instead the sometimes screeching noise of intense effort and the cheers of specially trained coaches. It's called motor activities, as in voluntary movement. In here, the competition might be lifting the head, turning over while lying on a mat, crawling or grasping a wooden block, placed zero to 12 inches away, depending on the ability of the athlete. Andrew Rains, a first-grader from
ROLFE
Lake Park Elementary in Bethany, said "I came here on a bus from-a long way away." In his T-shirt, jeans and Goosebumps tennis shoes, Andrew looks a lot like other brown-haired eight-year-olds—until he smiles. Then, say his coaches, he is extraordinary. "Andrew is great," said motor activities venue director Helena Tilley. Andrew competed in the crawl, creep and advanced grasping, which involves grasping, holding, moving and releasing the block. He beamed from a black and neon purple Action Pack Tiger motorized wheelchair. To help support his head and upper body, a strap goes from the chair to a harness around his chest. On his chest, worked in to the space around the black nylon strap, were three blue ribbons and a gold medal, like the one worn by another Olympian at UCO that day, hung from his neck.

via e-mail. "To me, that's a basic application. I'm not sure that it is here—UCO is a little behind," she said. "It's no longer the wave of the future—it's now," she said. "Not just to play catch-up, but to get a little bit ahead. "Part of the exciting challenge is to find out where we are, and where we need to go," said Rolfe. "People here are encouraged by what we can
do." UCO will look to her to set priorities and identify needs, she said. Her first priority is to do a technology inventory of the campus. "I believe for an institution to do what it's really about—that's educating people—access to technology is vital. Technology has permeated people's lives," said Rolfe. "Very few jobs can be done without it."
The highway construction on Broadway Extension that caused longer commutes for some UCO students in March is completed, but more is scheduled for the summer and fall. The City of Edmond has scheduled reconstruction of Broadway Extension for the mile between 2nd Street and 15th Street beginning in mid-May and continuing throughout the summer and fall. "Northbound Broadway will be down to one lane at this time," said Stacey Trumbo, engineer for the City of Edmond. He said the
work should be completed by Thanksgiving 1997, and the southbound side of the street will not be affected by the construction. The construction that caused lanes to close on Broadway north of 36th Street in Oklahoma City during March is completed, said Tim Thompson of the Oklahoma County Department of Transportation. New stripes were being painted on the highway, Thompson said. —By Rebecca Rutledge/ Student Writer

Biology department offers tour of new facilities By Patrice Patterson
Staff Writer
T
he department of biology will host an open house for alumni and friends from 2-5 p.m., April 27, in the new Laboratory Annex Building (LAB). Those attending should meet on the first floor of the atrium. A tour of the new building will be given, followed by comments and a short program, said Dr. John Barthell, assistant professor of biology. "We want people to see how much we've changed," said Barthell. The College of Mathematics and Science received over $5 million for the construction of the new 60,000 square foot science laboratory facility, said Barthell. The LAB, a three—story building that is connected to Howell Hall by an atrium, is the fifth addition to Howell Hall. The new building will provide a sufficient number of modern laboratories for biology, chemistry, and physics, said
Barthell. Currently, the LAB is 65 percent completed, with several labs and the entire first floor (physics and biology -labs) incomplete. Completion of the unfinished portion will require support from sources outside the university, said Barthell. The finished areas of the building will be available for use within a few weeks, he said. The Biology Department is extending an open invitation for everyone to attend the open house to see the changes taking place. For more information, call Barthell at 341-2980, Ext. 4 5779.

Regents get grant for First Search license By Deborah Cook Student Writer
T
o help meet the information needs of the state, First Search, an electronic information service, will be available to Oklahoma libraries and universities with an Internet connection starting this month. It will enable access to a fulltext encyclopedia, an on-line newspaper, the World Almanac and a variety of information on demand. Home users can gain access by getting the password from any library using First Search including UCO and the Oklahoma County Metropolitan Library System. The Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL) has awarded a grant to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to purchase a statewide license for First Search.
First Search will be put on OneNet, the state's telecommunications and information network. "The 12-month contract for the license is $325,000. ODL is using $125,000 in funds appropriated by the State Legislature for the full-text database, plus $200,000 in federal library funds to ensure citizens have access to full-text retrieval beyond the contract," said Bill Young, public information officer for the ODL. "This has been a dream of Oklahoma's library community for some time, the First Search license could be the first of many OneNet database licensing agreements that could result in significant cost savings and increased access to information for all of Oklahoma's citizens," said ODL Director Robert Clark. First Search can be accessed at (ODL web site) http://www.state.ok.usi –odl. A

6 g err cully and Mulder"—the names ‘111% alone conjure images of night 4.0 skies filled with lights and a world where the bizarre is explained by the unusual yet strangely plausible combination of conspiracy, cover-up and extra-terrestrial visitation. Oklahoma has its own real-life UFO "team," and between them they have 50 years experience investigating reports of sightings, abductions and other UFOrelated occurrences. Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Oklahoma State Director Jean WallerSeifried and her husband, former Ohio state director and author, Richard Seifried, have seen and documented a part of Oklahoma's past not taught in history class. "We've made some warm friendships from all parts of our society—it's enriched our lives a lot," said Seifried. "The coauthor of my book is like a son to me."
In his book, Native Encounters, Seifried and his co-author and fellow abductee Michael Carter detail accounts of sightings and abduction reports in Oklahoma during the past 50 years. Siefried's first exposure to the possibility of alien visitations to earth was as a soldier recently returned from the Korean War. While stationed at The Presidio military base in San Francisco, he said he saw classified documents on two occasions detailing reports of pilots who had seen a "bluish-green light over the combat zone." Waller-Seifried became intrigued with the subject of UFOs and extra-terrestrials (ETs) while researching a class assignment at the University of Oklahoma in the late 60s. "I went out and interviewed some people and found some of it to be'very believable," she said. Waller-Seifried isn't sure she's ever

seen an ET, but she said she does believe in them now. But that wasn't always the case. "All the years I've been doing this I've never been convinced that this is reality—I never had an experience or even a close sighting," she said. "I finally received something—a validation of the physical existence of this phenomena." She and Seifried went on to describe an experience approximately four years ago when Seifried awoke from what he remembered as a restless night with a minor, but odd-shaped wound on his arm near his wrist. Two weeks later at a conference of ufologists another man described a similar experience and then showed them a photo of his wound, it matched Seifried's exactly. Seifried learned the true nature of his wound after sessions of regressive hypnosis. He said he's learned that he has
been abducted about half a dozen times since he was 19. Sitting in his living room, he looked around and said, "I don't mean to scare you, but you're in the same room they were in that night." Seifried said he has experienced ridicule, especially with family members and the media. "The first couple times we talked to TV stations they kind of made fun," he said. "They don't do that anymore—the attitude has changed." Even though the number of reported sightings/encounters has stabilized nationally, Oklahoma remains a relatively "quiet" place recently in terms of possible extra-terrestrial activity, said WallerSeifried. She cautions everyone not to read too much into the number of reports. "Just because we don't hear anything VSee UFO, Page 9

doesn't mean it's not happening," said WallerSeifried. "They are afraid they'll be laughed at—there is also an element of desensitization," she said. The pair of investigators credit shows like X-files and movies like Independence Day with making the extraordinary, often frightening stories being told by thousands of Americans seem the benign, everyday subjects of popular entertainment. After many years in Oklahoma the couple is making plans to move to Arizona. They would like to leave their "X-files" here for researchers to use and also as a record for historians. Seifried donated his Ohio MUFON files to Ohio
State University before he left to move here. They are still there in a special hermetically sealed area. "I asked OU if they wanted our files and they said no," said Waller-Seifried. Despite the lack of interest in their files, the couple said they know what they've been doing is worthwhile because of the people they've helped through the years. And even though, like their television counterparts, they've had to start carrying a gun for protection while investigating, they said they will continue to search for the truth of what's out there. —By Rhonda Bowden/

Are we alone? The question of whether we are the lone intelligent life in the universe, and if not, could extraterrestrials be visiting us, was posed to some people on campus. Here are the answers: • President George Nigh said "I believe that in the beginning God created heaven, the earth and man—I doubt if he did that anywhere else." • Susan Davis, English education sophomore said, "I've always believed ever since I was a kid—I think it's pretty arrogant to believe we're the only intelligent life in our vast universe." She said she believes the earth is being visited by aliens. "There is enough unexplainable evidence, artifacts, showing space travel is even pre-historic." • Dr. Ronald Miller, chairperson of the physics department, said of the possibility, "Odds are in favor of it." But the professor, whose brother helped write a "debunker" on the Roswell incident said he didn't think beings from other worlds have been here, the chances of that being possible would really be "stretching it." And for those who wonder if we can ever know the truth, he offers this assurance: "Science moves on in time and gets to the bottom of things." • Dr. Charles Whipple, psychology department, said he doesn't beleive in UFOs. "Whenever one of those UFOs lands here outside the building, and we can go out and investigate it then I'll believe it."

Softball team retires UCO alumni's jersey by beating Cameron By Darrell J. Weidner Sports Writer
T
he Central Oklahoma Lady Bronchos topped off a historic day by defeating Cameron in both games of a doubleheader, Wednesday. The Lady Bronchos started the day with the historic retirement of the No. 2 jersey of former UCO softball great Gladys GriffinRenneker. Renneker is the softball coach of the Cameron Lady Aggies. Renneker's jersey is the first one to be retired in school history, said Central Oklahoma Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon. the jersey will hang in Hamilton Field House, on display for ever," said Wagnon. "Central has a storied tradition in athletics, and I'm honored to be the first athlete to have my number retired," said Renneker. After the ceremony, Central started the first game by getting two runs in the first inning. Chasidy Horton dinged her fifth home run o f the year to start of the inning. Horton had two hits with one run-batted-in, and she came home twice. The Lady Bronchos scored two more runs in the third inning to bring the score to 4-0. Cameron answered Central's 44

Instructor acclaimed Graduation procedures detailed for story-telling talent By Steven E. Wedel Student Writer
U
CO creative studies instructor Sara Orwig was honored with the first Plainsman Legend Award at a writers' conference at Phillips University in Enid, Okla. April 45. The award is given for "a unique gift of story-telling," according to the inscription. Johnny Quarles, who is novelist-in-residence at Phillips, as well as conference organizer and contest judge, said Orwig got the award because of her body of work and "what she's meant to other writers" in this area. "We want this award to carry respect, so we knew we had to give it to an author who had earned respect for her work," Quarles said. "I feel honored to win along. with Elmer Kelton because this is the first award Phillips has given," Orwig said. The second Plainsman Legend Award was presented to western
author Elmer Kelton, a native of Texas. Orwig has 50 published romance novels, including Oregon Brown, Comanche Temptation, and Atlanta. She is contracted for five more titles and has had her work translated into 22 languages. "Conferences give the aspiring author contacts with professionals in the field. They also provide contacts for networking with other new writers," Orwig said. Quarles added that, though the award could be given to anybody, he hopes it will continue to go to writers located in the southwest, especially Oklahoma.

Poet / writer to end career After many years of teaching aspiring writers, UCO creative studies instructor Betty Shipley has decided to retire at the end of this semester. Shipley has been teaching since her graduation from UCO in 1964. One of her first jobs was teaching in an all-black high school just as integration began in Oklahoma. "It was the best job I ever had," she said. Over time, her interest in poetry dictated the subject in which she would specialize and she soon became well known as a writing instructor. She has been sharing her knowledge with UCO students for seven years. Shipley has been a member of the State Arts Council for several years and taught a poetry workshop and GED English in a state prison. The Oklahoma Writers' Federation Inc. nominated her for the post of Poet Laureate of Oklahoma in 1997. Retirement won't mean an end of work for Shipley, who said she will continue tending her Shipley rental properties and investments. She will also remain as poetry editor for ByLine magazine and continue running Broncho Press, her own small publishing company "named after my school," she said. One book of poems by Carol Hamilton, published by Shipley's Broncho Press, won the Oklahoma Book Award in 1992. Shipley will also finish work on her own second collection of verse to be published by Pointwriters Press in Norman. "I am most happy when I open a magazine or book and see my students' work published," she said when asked about her fondest teaching memory. —By Steven E. Wedel Student Writer
