UCO remembers, honors bomb victims By Leslie Wakulich Managing Editor The campus buzzed with students' chatter and the sound of jackhammers, like any usual Friday morning. That was, until the construction men sat in a row where they had been working, and the halls and classrooms of UCO fell silent. With every tick of the clock, they knew the inevitable time grew near. The sound of President Nigh's solemn voice came through the radio in each room. "One year ago, the worst terrorist act to take place in the boundaries of the United States shook the very heart of downtown Oklahoma City, taking the lives of 168 innocent people and injuring hundreds UCO student Brian Spence lights candles at the memorial service April 19, honoring the one year anniversary of the more. OKC bombing. (Staff photo by Leslie Wakulich) "...As we take these 168

seconds to honor each of the 168 innocent lives taken, we reflect upon the one year anniversary of that bombing. "UCO remembers the victims and honors their memory." The silence began at 9:02 a.m. and the buildings were as quiet as they are in the dead of night. Some closed their eyes, blocking out everything around them while others stared distantly toward the floor. Many stopped, their heads bowed and eyes shut, in doorways and in the middle of what were once busy rooms. The silence was broken by a slow, soothing squeal of a violin crooning Amazing Grace, sounding like that of an old fiddler paying his respects at a funeral in a cotton field somewhere in the deep South. The violinist, Mark O'Connor, performed the legendary song with the Oklahoma City

Philharmonic in 1995 for Oklahoma City Relief A Time of Healing. Outside, the wind died and the sun cast a warm glow across the campus. One man who is usually seen with a cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, was standing quietly in his usual spot, with only a cup, looking toward Old North. "I guess it's about that time," he said. The clock tower chimed Amazing Grace, followed by My Country 'Tis of Thee, and passersby who were unaware of the time stopped in their tracks. It seemed the sound of the world was muffled as time stood still for several minutes on the morning of April 19. The tears would come soon as mourners dressed in cut-offs and T-shirts as well as dresses and V See MEMORIAL, Page 10

Faculty push for increased pay during funding debate By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer The future of UCO's budget is on hold while state legislators debate funding for higher education. While faculty members hope for raises, President George Nigh said he hopes to maintain the

integrity of the reserve budget. Faculty members got a 4 percent salary increase in the 1995 budget, yet they received none in 1994, only 0.5 percent in 1993 and none in 1992. This totals a 4.5 percent increase over the past three years, according to figures obtained from the UCO Faculty Senate.

But the raises were not equal with the rise in inflation. Over the past three years, the cost of living has increased 11.2 percent. This means faculty salaries have declined 6.7 percent compared to inflation in the same time period. Faculty Senate President Dr. Stephen Law is worried that "stasis has set in at UCO

compared to other institutions" regarding salaries." He admits "UCO is better off than some institutions," but adds that "we are less better off than we used to be." "The president seems satisfied with an erosion of salaries," Law said. Nigh said faculty salary

increases are dependent on the allocation UCO will get from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. "It all depends on how much we get and what strings are attached," he said. Nigh mentioned several V'See BUDGET, Page 10

PROFESSOR, I FEEL AUTHENTIC

Education Building suffers identity crisis

he Education Building â&#x20AC;&#x201D; maybe it's hideous or maybe we're just not open-minded enough. College is intended to open up students' minds and encourage them to question what's important in life. When we look at the Education Building, our inital reaction is usually one of disgust. "My God, it's ugly!" can often be heard when people pass by the building. But maybe we should think about it a little more. It's not immediately pretty, but trying to figure out what the architect was thinking could provide an entire afternoon's entertainment. The curtain glass wall provides an element of modernism while the columns harken back to Classical Greece. Some would say the building has an identity crisis, but perhaps it's symbolic of a modern university education. In one class we read Plato and in another we program computers. The College of Education, the largest college on our campus, is now crowded into Old North, a building that's architecturally beautiful, but its windows and floors need to be repaired or replaced. . In the heat of summer, those students will move into a hightech structure with adequate air conditioning. But the design is less than most of us had wanted. Some may say the building will make us a laughing stock and lower enrollment and donations to the university. But few students came to UCO because of the campus' appearance. With the exception of Old North, the buildings are utilitarian and unimpressive. People enrolling and those making donations do so because of our academic reputation. The quality of education at UCO won't decline because of the design. The same professors will still be teaching the same classes, just in a different setting. And the amenities might make the stay a little nicer. Instead of looking at the exterior of the building, we should be more concerned with what's going on inside.

SGA presidential election spawns "friendly" rivalry By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer Two childhood friends will become rivals in politics this week when they compete for the UCO's position of Student Government Association (SGA) president. The election takes place tomorrow from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. and from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Liberal Arts Building. This isn't the first time Keith Weber, current speaker of SGA, and Joacquin Stevens, who was SGA president in 1992-93, have been interested in the same activity. They attended the same high school, went to the same church camp and were even on the same drama team together. But they both say the election will be no test to their friendship. "I think whoever gets it (SGA president) will do a good job," said Stevens.

"He's a good friend of mine, so it's kind of weird, but it won't change things between us," said Weber. The main purpose of Stevens' platform is to push for more student benefits such as: • Student access to faculty evaluations. • Bringing a major entertainer to UCO through student Stevens activity fees. • Lowering text book prices. • More student say in the allocation of student activity money. "One of the first things that I would do as president is to start the Student Action Network (SAN)," said Stevens. "This student coalition would give many students the

opportunity to get involved in problem with SGA for quite a student issues." while. Weber intends to increase "The coalition members could help by calling or writing letters student participation by: to administrators to help have an • Creating a system by which impact on issues ranging from each student organization has direct involvement in student activity fees to student activity faculty evaluations," he said. budgeting. • Making sure the Stevens said administration gives another major issue in students reasons for his campaign is changes it makes. student activity funds. • Creating an "Currently, students environment students do not have a say as to will want to become how this We ber involved in.

Weber argues that in order for without spending a lot of students to acquire such benefits, money," he said. "At some point during the they have to want to be involved, something he admits has been a next year, the landscape rest

areas are going to be completed for students to congregate. We can make sure we keep those areas clean," he said. "All of the organizations can chip in and pay for things together without putting out one particular organization by paying for all of it. "We need to have more community awareness such as health fairs and career fairs that members of the community can come in and participate," he said. "And every once and a while, we can provide entertainment and save money by bringing in good local entertainers that are diverse so that we can reach entire campus," Weber said. Weber stressed the importance of students being informed of issues that affect them. "If we don't have representatives from each part of this campus to add input, we're making uninformed decisions."

Excellence awards for teachers requires students' nominations

few words of praise from UCO students could result in a share of $18,000 for at least four professors through the second annual President's Partners Excellence in Teaching Award. The deadline for nominations is May 1. "Nominations must come from students," said Tana Stufflebean of the selection committee. To be eligible, a nominee must be a full-time faculty member at UCO with at least two years of service. Stufflebean said students should consider nominating teachers who have served as role models, shown concern for students and have exemplary subject matter knowledge. A one-page letter describing what the student believes is extraordinary about the teacher should be sent to: President's Partners Excellence in Teaching Awards Committee, 100 N. University, UCO Box 159, Edmond, OK 73034. Once nominated, teachers will have two weeks to submit

supportive information on their accomplishments in teaching to the eight-member selection committee. The committee will review the information and look at other criteria such as teaching scores, letters from alumni and teaching background. At least one winner will be chosen from each of the university's four colleges to receive an equal share of the prize money. The money is earmarked from donations to the UCO Foundation for this award. Six winners received $3,000 each at last year's award ceremony in October. "The recognition coming from students is very valuable to an instructor," said Dr. Scott McLaughlin, one of last year's winners. Another winner, Dr. James Bidlack, added that the award carries a powerful message to the university about what kind of teachers students want, "Students can make a difference," he said.

Nurse's scholarship honors bomb victims By Cory Miller Student Writer When the UCO Wind Ensemble and Concert Chorale ended the last note of To Bind The Nation's Wounds, it drew nothing but cheers and a standing ovation from those in attendance at "The Memorial Concert" April 16 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. The concert was one of two sponsored by UCO President George Nigh, who was joined by Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin and other guests to remember the victims and survivors of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing. Nigh opened the concert by saying, "We are here to celebrate the lives of those who lost theirs (in the bombing)." After several songs and remarks from Edmond Mayor Bob Rudkin, Fallin addressed the audience, speaking of the "Oklahoma spirit." "With faith and courage we can act as caregivers, as a leader to bind the nation's wounds," she said. Also in the program — Kelley Maze, a junior nursing student at UCO, was awarded the Rebecca

UCO splits conference games By Jeff Packham Sports Editor The Central Oklahoma baseball team may have been putting in a bid for an Oscar this weekend. They starred as The Comeback Kids in sweeping a doubleheader Friday, but were on the losing end Saturday in The Silence of the Bats. The Bronchos overcame Eastern New Mexico leads of 30 and 9-5 to beat the Greyhounds in the first two games. UCO won 5-4 and 13-9. However, UCO combined for six hits and two runs in losing Saturday's twinbill by 6-2 and 60 scores. The Bronchos' offense came through in a timely fashion in the first two games as UCO rallied to win. In the opener, UCO went into the bottom of the seventh deadlocked at four. Greg Ireton lead off with a double to kickstart t h e Cellers Bronchos. After Anthony Cellers was put in to pinch-run for Ireton, Greg Lawson was intentionally walked.

By Joel Reagan Student Writer The Central Oklahoma men's tennis team boosted its chances of earning an automatic national tournament bid with a first place finish in the Broncho Invitational over the weekend at three locations in Edmond. UCO (15-1) beat two nationally-ranked opponents enroute to capturing the title of the two-day event. The Bronchos gained wins over 11th-ranked West Texas A&M and sixth-ranked Abiliene Christian University. The win over ACU propelled the 10th-ranked Bronchos to the top of the region in unofficial rankings compiled Sunday, UCO tennis coach Francis Baxter said. Going into the tournament, UCO was ranked No. 2 behind ACU and ahead of WTAMU. The top two teams in the regional earn the right to compete in the NCAA Division II National Championships to be held in Edmond on May 912. Different players rose to the occasion in beating the top teams. UCO fell behind early to A&M, after losing the first three team points in doubles matches and the No. 1 and 3 singles matches. No. 2 singles player Junior

Brown got UCO on the board by winning a 6-7, 6-4, 6-2 decision over A&M's Ryan Haley. UCO got wins from Matt Thompson and Bobby Armstrong. No. 5 player Steve Lynam won a 7-5, 6-2 decision over the Buffaloes' Justin Quest to give UCO at 5-4 win. "It was sort of a domino effect." Baxter said. "Junior's win at No. 2 turned the tide of the match,Steve won the deciding point in a very close, exciting match." After winning their fourteam pool in the tournament, UCO faced similar circumstances in the final match. The team's No. 4 and 5 players gained wins to propel UCO to a 5-3 victory. Lynam again picked up the deciding win, 7-5, 6-3. In women's action, UCO finished runner-up to intrastate rival Cameron University.The women's team is on the top-10 bubble, Baxter says. The team gained wins over Tarleton State (Texas), WTAMU and St. Cloud (Minn.) The win over the Minnesota school was the only significant win for the fifth-ranked Lady Bronchos, Baxter said. They had won eight in a row coming in. Freshman Jana Vnouckova continued to be unbeaten after 18 meetings in dual action. The No. 1 singles player is 25-2 overall.

Weilert stars for UCO Softball team drops three of four By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer Central Oklahoma javelin thrower Chris Weilert took outstanding men's field honors while Frank Simon won two silver medals in Lone Star Conference championships held Friday and Saturday in Commerce, Texas. Weilert won his fourth javelin competition this season, throwing a meet-record 200 feet, 6 inches, 20 feet more than second-place finisher Paul Cantwell of Abilene Christian.

Stanley Ridley and Abel Kahuni each placed second and third in the 400-m hurdles and a third-place finish in the 110-m hurdles, respectively. Kahuni ran the 800 in 1:51.00 to place second and the 1,500 in 3:49.17, good for third. Cathy Williams was the only individual medalist or the UCO women's team. The UCO men's team finished fourth in the team standings with a 25-point score. The Lady Bronchos placed sixth, scoring seven points.

The Central Oklahoma indoor soccer team was unable to continue the momentum from the first half as they lost 5-1 to Oklahoma City University in the finals of the indoor soccer tournament Saturday at Chico's Soccer Villa.

This year's liberal arts symposium, Crosscurrents 8, was dedicated to the memory of the April 19 bombing, its victims and their families. But the presentations were not just about the bombing. On April 17, both floors of the Liberal Arts Building were filled with displays and wandering students. Pottery, weaving and artwork could be easily found on the second floor, while music filtered through the air from the Pegasus Theatre on the first floor. UCO students shared their ideas, knowledge and emotions for more than five hours. For some • like Jennifer Hamilton, it was their first time giving a presentation in front of a crowd of strangers.

For Frank Page, the symposium offered the chance to present his personal research on euthanasia. The initial information was pulled from a class, but additional research and writing was initiated by personal interest, said Page. "There were 45 people in the room; people were sitting on the floor," he said. Page also participated in a discussion on student-teacher relationships outside of class.

Education's new home mixes style, technology By Gayleen Laogthorn

Staff Writer Education classes will begin meeting in the new Education Building June 3, the first day of the summer semester. On March 8 the building was "substantially completed," 418 days after construction began. The total cost of construction was $3,772,667, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president for administration. The building's design has stimulated controversy about aesthetics in architecture at UCO. College of Education chairpersons decided the layout of the building and classroom size, Widener said. "We sat down with the users and said, 'we're not going to be operating the building. You are and you know what you need — tell us, — he said. That's how the layout was decided upon — the appearance of the building is another matter. Those involved with the construction on campus decided to save the estimated $3,000 it would've cost to construct a model or have an accurate drawing of the building before construction began. "I don't think any of us knew exactly what it would look like," Widener said. Cathleen Martin of HTB, the architectural firm that designed the building, said it's rare to

Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president of administration, opens one of the center-pivoting windows in the Education Building. (Staff photo by Laurette Graham) build a model. In the three years she's been at HTB, she's only worked on one project where a model was built. Widener added that he thinks the building will be more accepted when the other new construction is completed. Similar architectural features will tie the new buildings together, Widener said. Columns and atriums are features common to all the new buildings. The building was originally scheduled for completion on Feb. 15, but there were some bad weather days when the contractor was unable to work, said Widener. By "substantially complete" it means the structure of the building is finished. But some work is still being done on the building. The

interior pairiting was done under a separate contract, completed on April 3, just two days before President Clinton arrived for a meeting in the building. Computers, phones and other electronic devices are currently being installed in the building, Widener said. Dedication of the building will be on July 19 when the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges will be meeting at UCO, said President Nigh. The structure stands at 46,000 square feet. Of that, 73 percent is usable space. The average usable space in a building is about 65 percent, Widener said. The building has some unique features and materials on its exterior. Faux sandstone on the south side of the building is actually a

spray-on coating. After the structural supports are in place, a sheathing of 3/4 inch plywood is put over them. Then a 1 1/2 thick insulation board is placed over it and that is covered with a plastic mesh. Then several layers of a polymer resin is sprayed on the exterior, said Martin. "It's been used a lot in the past 10 years," she said. WalMart and Penn Square Mall are two local examples of the product in use. The columns are made from fiberglass, are hollow and cover steel supports on the inside of the building. The high corner on the roof line is to hide the heating and air conditioning equipment on the roof. The stairways are behind a glass curtain wall on the north and south ends of the building.

The entrance to each level has doors which can be secured to the wall with magnets to hold them open. If the smoke alarm goes off, the magnets automatically release the doors, preventing smoke and fire from circulating throughout the building. Only the dean and assistant dean will have offices in the building. Approximately two dozen lockers are on the third floor for faculty members to store their coats and other belongings. Faculty members will keep their present offices in Old North and Evans Hall, said Widener. The classroom windows are center-pivot windows and can be cleaned from the inside. The UCO seal in mosaic on the first floor was donated by the Alumni Association.

suits, filed through the doors of the Mitchell Hall Theatre around 12:30 p.m. Each received a purple, blue and yellow ribbon and a carnation. The lights inside were dim and the small crowd was somber, making the theater where many come to laugh and pretend seem more like a house of God. One hundred sixty-eight unlit white candles sat three rows high on two separate platforms draped with black cloth. The choir took its position on center stage and stood motionless as Dr. Joe Johnson, dean of the the College of Business Administration, rose and walked to the podium. Without another word he began with the name, "Lucio Aleman." His trembling and chilling voice made the list of names seem neverending. As he continued, UCO students, Brian Spence and Jacob Jeffrey, lit one candle for each of the 168 dead and finished just before Johnson read, "Buddy Youngblood." The voices of the UCO Concert Chorale filled the room as it began singing Christ Lay in Death's Prison. With tears in their eyes, they sang with such passion, such strength and such spirit that they

sounded more like the cries of angels than the voices of mortals. They each seemed to be singing not for themselves, but for those who have no voice. And as the memorial continued, the sniffles grew louder and the cries seemed to echo through the half-filled room. "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven," read Dr. Roberta Sloan, professor of oral communication, from the Old Testament, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. "A time to be born, and a time to die...a time to kill, and a time to heal.... "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance." With each reading, the tears flowed. Johnson read a poem by Bev Sumner, entitled And the Angles Cried and UCO student Keith Weber presented the poem I Saw God Today by Charles E. Norris. "...To those whose child I have taken this day: I only gave him for a while For you to love, cherish And watch over as he played. To guide him, love him, And teach him God's loving way. Your job is done now, You have accomplished much,

scenarios that could occur, such as more funding but requiring half of the new funding to go toward the teachers' .retirement fund. • Nigh cites the teachers' retirement fund as his first' priority for new funding. "If the legislature does not address teachers' retirement and fund it as a separate issue, any new money we get we'll take into consideration first to honor the teachers' retirement to those who have worked and are working at UCO." His second priority is to maintain the financial integrity of the university. "Number three," Nigh said, "then we hope that we could give salary increases." "I think the employees here would rather have the knowledge

that their retirement is sound and guaranteed and that their job at the current salary is guaranteed, rather than opting for an increase that would mean we would have to fire people or we would have to have unfunded retirements," he said.

For in this child you have imbedded, Love, caring and Godly trust. Weep no more dear Mother, Grieve no more dear Dad, For Angels now have taken your precious child to a place Where there is no bad." The memorial closed with UCO student Jennifer Alexander singing I Will Remember You. During the song, three students portrayed mourners removing teddy bears, an American flag and children's drawings of rescue workers from a replica of the chain-link fence which surrounds the bomb site. As the service ended, the mourners left as quietly as they came, most of their faces stained by tears. "I needed to come," said Kim Eiklor, a UCO junior. "It's always important to remember." Kerry Rice, UCO junior, said he was disappointed in the turnout. "This place should've

been packed," he said. Charles Porter, UCO alumnus and recent Pulitzer Prize winner for his photograph of firefighter Chris Fields carrying the body of 1-year-old Baylee Almon, said the service was "tasteful." As far as the attendance, "the people that were there were the ones that wanted or needed to be there," he said. The Y-Chapel remained open until 5 p.m. for quiet time and meditation. Although the chapel remained silent and empty following the memorial service, 50 people visited throughout the day. White candles burned in the chapel where a tiny altar stood in front of a plaque with "Blessed are the Peacemakers" carved in its dark wood. A white cloth draped the wooden table where a Bible stood open next to a white teddy bear. A tattered, yellow ribbon marked the page of a recurring
