WORLIWRAP Earth Day 1993 sees ozone still shrinking WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth Day was celebrated around the world last week, but not everyone was optimistic about the planet's future. In Washington, researchers released a report that shows the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere dropped torecord-low concentrations last year with the biggest decline over North America, Europe and parts of Asia. J.F. Gleason, a scientist at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said measurements in December and January by a satellite showed the ozone layer was thinner than in any previous measurements.
Unemployment claims escalate, report shows WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of newly laid-off workers filing claims for jobless benefits shot up by 26,000 last week, the government said last week in areport seen as the latest sign of slack job growth. "Labor market conditions remain sluggish," said economist Bruce Steinberg of Merrill Lynch & Co. New applications for unemployment insurance totaled 359,000 last week, up from a revised 333,000 the week ending April 10, the Labor Department reported. The department originally estimated that April 10 claims totaled 335,000. Steinberg said the recent trend hi jobless claims suggested the creation of about 135,000 new jobs in April— less than half those produced in the months following previous recessions.
Holocaust museum opens WASHINGTON — (AP) A half century and a world away from the gas chanbers of Auschwitz, Majdanek and Chelmno, a new Holocaust museum was dedicated last week to teach future generations the lessons of what one survivor called "the black hole in time, the black hole in history." Before 7,000 people, many of them survivors of the concentration camps erected by Nazi Germany in World War H with a mission to exterminate the Jews, cam a repeated admonition: Never again. The museum reminds the world "again and again how fragile are the safeguards of civilization," President Bill Clinton said. See World Wrap, page 7

The Student Voice Since 1903
Honor code approved Proposal goes to Nigh for ratification By Roy Howe Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma Faculty Senate approved unanimously last week a proposal designed to help curb cheating by students at the university. If approved by George Nigh, UCO president, the "Student Honor Code" proposal would place the following statement on the UCO application for admission form and the enrollment form which is signed by students: "If admitted to the University of Central Oklahoma, I understand that dishonesty, such as cheating, violating the integrity of examinations, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to university faculty or staff is unacceptable behavior.
"In addition," the proposal reads, "forgery, alteration, damage or misuse of official university documents, records or identification cards or devices will not be tolerated. "Violation of this trust may result in action being taken against me by the university up to and or including expulsion." The proposal, which came out of the senate's committee of academic affairs, is intended to help explain what constitutes student deceit and results from a national survey that shows classroom cheating is escalating. "It (honor code) points out what cheating is," said David Bass, chairman of the committee. "Such as plagiarism, cheating in one culture may not be cheating in this culture. "There has been a general increase of cheating nationwide," Bass said. "We would like to curb this locally.
"This is by no means to say that a lot of people at UCO are cheating," he said. "It was found that schools with honor codes have less cheaters." Bass said that the severity of punishment for being caught cheating rests with the instructor and hinges on the act. "It's up to the professor," he said. "They could ignore it, they could penalize the student on the exam, or if they wanted to pursue it, they could ask that the student be removed from class or removed from the university," he said. "Obviously, a student caught breaking into a professor's office and stealing an exam for the third time is more severe as compared to a student caught looking over at another student's paper, " Bass said. The proposal now goes to Nigh where he can either approve it, disapprove it or remand the proposal back to the senate for further work.
BSU honors student with scholarship By Joyce Kirtley Student Writer
The Baptist Student Union at the University of Central Oklahoma has decided to offer an annual scholarship to students starting this fall. The scholarship is in memory of UCO student Fronie Brennan, who was killed in a head-on collision Jan. 29. The scholarship is funded by Brennan's friends and family and will be given to two students in the amount of $250, said Charles Lillard, director of the BSU. The scholarship committee is comprised of Mike Lehew, BSU president; Mark Herron and Randy Ice, faculty sponsors; Marvele Perry, Brennan's aunt and Alan Piatt. The committee will vote each spring on who the recipient will be for the fall. To qualify, the student should display high moral values, be an active member of a local church, have maintained at least a 2.0 grade point average and actively involved in the BSU. "Fronie was a hardworking student, basically on her own. She struggled financially and had an obsession to obtain her degree. The recipient will be a lot like Fronie, " said Lillard. The scholarship fund already has $2000, and if we reach $10,000, we'd like to make it an endowment, said Lillard. "Right now, we'll just take it one year at a time," said Lillard. Anyone wanting to contribute to the scholarship fund can send donations to the BSU, P.O. Box 1480, Edmond, OK 73083-1480.

And now, we present a way to greet individuals with a disability without using assinined politically correct titles.
EDITORIAL
#1.)
Watch your language
THE WAVE"
'Watch what you say' is the message coming from the administration these days. Yes indeed, political correctness has hit the University of Central Oklahoma. Actually, using long and difficult words to describe or label a person or thing is not unusual. The mailman is no longer a mailman, but a postal carrier. The garbage man is now a sanitation technician. Mom is no longer a housewife, but now a domestic engineer. Also, when describing an individual who is short, please remember to use the political correct version of vertically challenged. Mom likes homemaker the best. Is this necessary? A defense can be made for both sides, of course. Champions of political correctness take the stand, that with a constantly advancing society, there is a need to advance labels and names. On the other side, detractors claim political correctness mutilates the English language. That's a little extreme. Political correctness is needed and appreciated by some. An example being persons with a disability, which is used now instead of disabled or handicapped. Remember that folks.
This message was made for you, the linguistically impaired, by the knowledge impaired, to impair your judgement, impairingly. Thank you and good day. Kevin Blankenship/The Vista
Recently, the administration sent these proper long and difficult words to identify persons with a disability. Some of the better ones are listed below. Birth defect is now congenital disability. What does congenital mean? A paraplegic is properly called a man with paraplegia. The words crazy, demented, or insane are not used much these days; instead, words like mental disability and cognitive impairment are the appropriate vernacular. The American Association of State Colleges and Universities said that it is important to avoid labeling or group categorizations that begin with "the" i.e.. "the disabled," "the deaf," "the blind." Also to be avoided, the association said, are euphemisms such as "the physically challenged," "partially sighted," "handicapable" and "special." The use of the word "disabled" is discouraged without referring to the person first. Confusing or mentally disorientating isn't it. Maybe to escape all the appropriate verbiage maybe we should all become persons without speech.

Break signifies troubles for dorm residents
I
am an international student in the University of Central Oklahoma. I have been reading The Vista since I entered this school. The thing that I like the most from TheVista is tha it provides a special column for readers to give their opnions about anything that is goind on around this campus. So, I would liketo bring my problem to you in hope to find a solution. I have been living in the campus dormitory for two semesters.
So far I found everything was nice, because the facilities and the condition of West Hall Dormitory quite satisfied me. One thing that makes me feel like moving to an apartment i sbecause of the dorm's regulation about paying interim fee during the breaks. During the breaks, all residents have to pay extra money in order to stay in the dorm and there is no food provided during that time. I think it is unfair since we have already paid the monthly housing payment.
Besides it is very troubling for us to move of other places. I believe this kind of complaining not only comes form my mouth, but most of the residents also disagree with this regulation. I hope The Vista can be the best place to hear our voices about this matter, and I also would like to thank you for your concern. Tan Lie Jin

Student endorses Stevens
I
would like to say a few things on behalf of Joacquin Stevens. Not only is he one of the most accomplished students on our campus, but he is also caring, understanding and eager to help anyone who is in need. I have never met anyone like him. He has devoted all his time and energy to our growing university and its students. He is constantly recruiting people to help in various campus activities and is always open to suggestions and new ideas. I can't think of anyone who is as qualified for the position of president of our student government. He is trustworthy, dependable, and
genuinely cares about the needs of our university. In response to DeWayne Holford's letter, the conferences Stevens attends benefit the entire studentbody because they instruct him on how to be a more wellrounded president. When he participates in one of these events he is constantly taking notes and learning in order to become a better leader for us. Are you aware that he recently won the Outstandin g Young Man of America award? How could someone win this kind of award if they didn't maintain an impeccable academic record? As for his ability as a
president, all you have to do is review the pamphlet on Joacquin and there is the evidence. It seems to me that Crawley and Holford's letters in the April 20 issue of The Vista were merely an attempt to thwart Steven's candidacy. One of those outings that he attended was the recent inauguration of President Clinton, showing Steven's desire to expand his knowledge in the realm of politics. Who knows? We may very well see him inaugurated as President of the United States someday. —Marcie Barrett UCO student

Daughter joins dad in teaching profession By Jessica Danker Copy Editor Like father—like daughter. Little did Vernon Ribera know that 29 years after he began his teaching career at the University of Central Oklahoma, then Central State College, his daughter would join him on the faculty. Leslie Ribera began teaching in the UCO math & statistics department in the fall of 1992. "She's seen it (teaching) all of her life. It's an honor for me to see her follow in my footsteps," Vernon said. After receiving his master's from Rutgers in 1962, Vernon Ribera began teaching in the UCO math & statistics department in 1963. Three years later, he helped add the computer science program to the department. "When the computer science program branched off to become a department of its own (in 1984), I went with them," he said. Vernon, who retired in 1990,
still remains at UCO as an adjunct professor for the computer science department in the spring semesters. Leslie received her bachelor's degree from UCO in 1983, with a 4.0 grade point average, her father added. After receiving her master's from Oklahoma State University in 1985, Leslie moved to Dallas where she attended the University of Texas and received her Ph.D. in August of 1991. While in Dallas, she worked as an applied mathematician/engineer at E-Systems. She said she believes her experience in the industry helps her students. "I think it's important to relate the industry to the students and to incorporate it into my classes," she said.
proud to be a part of a faculty where students come first." The fascination of computers and travel are also things that the Riberas have in common. Vernon, who is veteran of World War II and the Korean War, said he spends free time gardening and woodworking. Leslie said she also enjoys backpacking and listening to music, mainly classical. Another interest of Leslie's includes tae kwon do. She received her firstdegree black belt in February from Five Sticks Tae Kwon Do in Dallas. A smile crosses her face as she mentions her 11-year-old cat B.C. "That's short for barn cat," Leslie said. "He was an abandoned kitten that dad found. He started out in the barn and worked his way into the house."
Leslie, who graduated from Edmond Memorial High School in 1979, said she returned to UCO to teach for several reasons. "It's an excellent department (math & statistics). The faculty all work together," she said." "I am

Chopin Society to present Russian piano By Heide Brandes
Staff Writer The Chopin Society, a community based organization in cooperation with the University of Central Oklahoma, will present a Russian piano concert at 8 p.m. April 30 in Mitchell Hall. "It's a two piano Russian duopiano concert from Russia," said Jan Steele, assistant professor of music. "They were the winners of the Third Annual Murray Dranoff International Two Piano Competition. They won that in December of '91." Valentina Lisitsa and her hus-
band, Alexei Kuznetsoff are currently artists-in-residence at Indiana University and have been touring throughout the year. Among the works to be performed are the Rachmaninoff S uite and works by Poulenc, Chopin and Shoftakovich. "They're very -good. They're excellent," said Steele. The concert is the last in the Central Oklahoma Concert Series for the 1992-'93 season. Tickets are $10 at the door and free to students with a valid ID. For more information, contact Steele at 341-2980 Ext. 5755 or at 340-3500.
Wild bunch member to test for black belt By Joy McNutt
Student Writer Rick Holt, member of the University of Central Oklahoma's "Wild Bunch" karate club, said he will test for black belt May 1. A panel of judges from the Kinney Karate Association will witness the test at the YMCA Youth Clinic in north Tulsa. Joanie Combs, a first degree brown belt in the club, explained what the test involves. First, Holt will face five 20-minute sessions with different instructors then, after a short break, he will do bag work consisting of punches and kicks for 20 minutes, she said. After that, he will do 10 katas, which are pre-arranged sequences of attack and self-defense practiced against imaginary opponents, she said. After a short rest, he will do 10 pre-arranged one-step-self-defense techniques, followed immediately by self-defense from multiple attackers, then four one-onone normal fights. Holt will then face three fights which are two-against-one, three
fights three-against-one, two fights four-against-one, then two fights five-against-one, she said, followed by a gang fight. "After that, he will just have to break two boards with a punch, and then break three boards with a kick, and he's a black belt," she said. Combs, who has been studying karate for five years, said she also plans to test for black belt on Dec. 1. Her test will be the same as Holt's, she added. The test can take from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Combs said, but she has never seen anyone try the test who was unable to pass it. Melodie White, brown belt, said she has also been studying karate for five years. When asked about why she thinks there are fewer women black belts, she said that a lot of women like the good aerobic workout of karate, but they don't like the fighting. She said she doesn't know if it is fear of pain, or if they don't want to chance messing up their faces. Combs said she knows several women who are black belts, but she also said karate does seem to be male dominated.
"The cost to register on race day is $8, and UCO receives $5," said Steve Curry, account coordinator for Waddell *Pointer & Associates, Inc. Registration brochures are available at Sports Unlimited or any Metro Pizza Hut or Kentucky Fried Chicken location. Registration may be completed at Sports Unlimited during the hours of 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 4-8 p.m. May 5-7. Race day registration begins at 6:30 a.m. May 8 in the Sports Unlimited parking lot located at 9225 N. May Avenue. The races begin at 7:55 a.m. for the 5K wheelchair, 8 a.m. for the 5K, 8:10 a.m. for the 8K wheelchair, 8:15 for the 8K and 8:40 a.m. for the 2-mile fun run/walk.

Some students need degree checks By Joyce Kirtley
Student Writer For University of Central Oklahoma students with 70 or more credit hours, it is time to get a degree check before enrolling for summer or fall. The degree check shows credits already accounted for, and it shows what credits are needed in order to graduate. A degree check is important because sometimes a student may have anticipated a certain credit would count for something. It may clear up any discrepancies, said Suzanne Underwood, UCO academic advisor. "The degree check should not be misunderstood for the graduation check. Often, students will put off a degree check thinking they only need one the
semester before graduating," said Underwood. "The university jargon confuses people." Underwood stresses that students should keep up with their own degree process before and after getting a degree check. "We will help as much as possible; but, with the volume we receive it's sometimes difficult," said Underwood. The turn-around time for a degree check is usually six to eight weeks, depending on what month it is turned in. It could take just one week if it's received during a slow month like October or February, said Underwood. Students can get a degree check at the advisors' office in the Administration Building. Students will also need a copy of their transcript.

Just don't be fooled that buying an AKC registered dog means you're getting a good dog. You need to check the breeder thoroughly, and they should also check you out to make sure you would be a responsible dog owner. —Kaylin Head Vice President of Friends for Informed Dog Ownership
They (importers) are out there raping the coral reefs. We almost consider them endangered species." But increased public awareness of puppy mills has caused the mills owners to come up with new marketing strategies. Most are sold from classified newspaper ads. Breeds are not grouped together, so it doesn't appear that they are being sold from a puppy mill. Other marketing techniques include placing puppies in private homes to be sold, and selling puppies in flea markets and on street corners.
Head said any reputable breeder will provide a buyer with a guarantee that the dog is healthy. Prospective purchasers should ask to see the puppy's eye exam certificates, she said. Hip x-rays of the parent dogs should also be provided if requested. "Just don't be fooled that buying an AKC registered dog means you're getting a good dog," said Head. "You need to check the breeder thoroughly, and they should also check you out to make sure you would be a responsible dog owner."

Bronchos keep on winning By Justin Harper Sports Editor Theoretically the ideal time for a team to peak is at the end of the season. Apparently, that's just what Central Oklahoma's baseball team is doing. It may be a little too little and a little too late, but the Bronchos have been putting up some impressive offensive numbers and as a result have found themselves on the winning end of five of their last six games. After going 9-21 in the seasons first 30 games, UCO has gone 5-1 in the last week. The Bronchos swept Cameron last Monday in a doubleheader, then split in a twinbill at Pittsburg State last Tuesday before returning home for another doubleheader sweep over Oklahoma Christian. UCO lost the first of two games against PSU by a score of 6-4. Shortstop Price Rogers went
deep in the contest to notch his third home run of the year. In the second game the Bronchos rebounded to beat the Gorrillas by a count of 10-2, with Wagner Wicks taking the mound to record his first win of the year. In the OC series UCO won the first game 9-5. The Bronchos broke the game open in the fourth inning when they scored four runs to break a 3-3 tie. Mike Ledbetter knocked one out for his sixth dinger on the season and Kaleb Schroeder garnered the victory, raising his pitching record to 2-3. In the nightcap UCO held off the Eagles 5-4 in a game that went down to the wire. The Bronchos held a 4-0 lead through seven innings, before OC scored three runs in the eigth inning and then tied the game at 4-4 in the top of the ninth. But the Bronchos fended off the challenge and scored the game winning run in the bottom of the ninth.

Canadian hospitals advertise in U.S.
Student Writer
TORONTO (AP) —Attention Americans: Cheap, governmentsubsidized health care for sale. High-quality surgery at low cost. Why pay more in Toledo when you can get it for less in Toronto? Toronto Hospital, the largest acute-care facility in Canada, and the Hospital for Sick Children, one of the best pediatric centers in the country, will begin marketing their services south of the border in the next few months. Dozens of other institutions may follow. The Ontario government, for the moment, seems to be sitting on the fence, though Health Minister Ruth Grier says she does not support aggressive marketing of services outside the province. Nonetheless, the province has looked at the issue. A government study shows Ontario hospitals could make more than $80 million U.S. and create 645 jobs by serving Americans.

University seeks ban on faculty/student sex CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Faculty members at the University of Virginia considered Thursday whether to endorse a strict ban on sexual relations between college students and their instructors. The Faculty Senate weighed two proposals supporters say would curb sexual intimidation of students, but which opponents decry as an unconstitutional limit on love. Proposal A, offered by the Women's Concerns Committee, would ban all sexual or amorous relations between undergraduate students and faculty. It also would bar similar activity between professors and graduate students in the same department, teaching assistants and their students, and financial officers and any students they could affect through scholarships or grants. Proposal B, devised by an ad hoc faculty group, states that teachers, supervisors or evaluators "should not engage in amorous or sexual relations with students enrolled in their classes, with their student advisees or with their student employees." The proposal applies to both undergraduate and graduate students.

UCO student population, said Tyson. BB/BS looks for persons who can be positive role models who are at least 18 years old, have a valid driver's license, and are fulltime students or employees. Applicants must agree to go through the screening process. "Bigs" spend approximately three hours with their "littles" per week, and a year commitment is requested. Children eligible for the program are from single parent homes without a significant relationship with the absent parent. They must be between the ages of seven and 14 when they enter the program.
"We're always looking for volunteers," said Tyson. "We have a backlog of children who have been waiting for their 'Big' — the average wait is about 18 months, and that's too long." "One of the fun things about being a 'big' is doing things with your 'little' that you don't ordinarily get to do as an adult," she said. But the biggest reward "without sounding gushy," said Tyson is, "knowing that there is one kid that you have made a significant difference in their life." For more information on becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, call 943-8075.

WEST CHES1LR, Pa. (AP) — Fitness guru Richard Simmons was accused by a former employee of a home shopping network of sexually harassing her during his visit to the company's offices almost two years ago. Lori Pastore, who worked at QVC Network Inc. during the Oct. 25, 1991, visit, accused Simmons of making "lewd, lecherous, wanton and lascivious comments" aimed at her. She seeks more than $150,000 in damages. A spokesman for Simmons in Los Angeles, was quoted by the Daily Local News of West Chester as saying, "It happened almost two years ago, and I assumed it was all over with." Simmons appears on the network regularly to help sell workout equipment and exercise clothing.

Nurses plan fundraiser By Rebecka Slaughter Student Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma's junior nursing class will be holding a drawing April 29 for two round-trip tickets and accommodations for two nights and three days to New Orleans. "We hope we can distribute about 1,000 tickets, at least the odds are better then for the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes," said Steve Converse, a junior nursing class officer. "We plan on using the money
we raise to fmance the end-of-theyear function for the class and the senior pinning ceremony, as well as have some (money) for next year. It's important to remember that this is not a raffle, because they aren't allowed on campus," Converse added. "There is a state law against bingo and raffles, and there has never been a case to challenge that. That is why we don't allow raffles on campus," said Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of student services. American Airlines and the
Logsdon-Griffin Travel Agency supplied the tickets and accommodations for the trip. "AA is very helpful. If there is a good cause, we are glad to help out," said Jack Logsdon, of Logsdon-Griffin Travel Agency. Ticket holders need not be present to win. The trip will be good through December 1993. Tickets are available for a $1 donation and may be purchased through any nursing student junior officer. For more information contact Converse at 348-2628.

for people to sign who wanted to remove their names from junk mail mailing lists. Junk mail is a wasteful cutting of trees to produce paper, said Bass, a UCO biology professor. The Physical Plant table displayed products used on campus that were recycled. Aside from the usual recycled pencils, hand and bath towels, UCO parking blocks are made of recycled plastic, not concrete.
Oklahoma City brought along a friend, the great horned owl named Bubo. He said Bubo was a victim when he was stolen out of the wild and made a pet. It is illegal to keep them as pets. Now, Bubo cannot be set free because it does not know to be wary of humans and has no survival skills such as hunting for food.

Different cultures show their stuff By Paul Brown
Student Writer
The Multicultural Exposition '93 revealed sights of clothing from Africa and India, a NativeAmerican dancer dressed in dyed hawk feathers and deerskin moccasins, a tee-pee and jewelry made from the earth. Even the audience participated in ritual dancing. African drums were loud and poetic, and the stepping of African-American Greeks were rhythmic and timely. The scents of Chinese, Malaysian, and African dishes filled the room, along with lasagna and fry bread to fill your palate, with just enough room for a cookie of fortune as dessert. All of this took place last Tuesday, at the University of Central Oklahoma University Center ballrooms. The program was sponsored by the Multicultural Stu-
dent Services (MSS) and the International Student Center. The event was scheduled to take place at Centennial Square, but was moved indoors because of high winds and chilly temperatures. The student clubs that participated included the Malaysian Student Association, Afri-Culture, Delta Sigma Theta and Sigma Gamma Rho Sororities, and Alpha Phi Alpha and Omega Psi Phi Fraternities. Also participating were Ancient Threads of Oklahoma City, an African-American clothing boutique and bookstore, and Ruan RJun, a UCO student and who specializes in hairbrush painting. Food was provided by AfriCulture, Pepe's Mexican Restaurant, Blue Moon and Edmond Mandarin Chinese Restaurant, and the First American Student Association. Soft drinks were provided by the Great Plains Bottling Company of Oklahoma City.
At the Multicultural Expo, students got a look at some of the arts and customs from different parts of the world. Ruan Ru-Jun demonstrates

Paddack said it was a great honor to have been among the four Americans and two Canadians selected to work on this project. Out of the group of six, four have been assigned to Romania and two to Bulgaria. Paddack will be responsible for the post-secondary education portion of the book. Bulgaria has approximately 86 post-secondary institutions. Primary use of the publication will be by the United States and Canadian
Admissions officers. When an applicant from Bulgaria or Romania apply for admission, the book will help determine the transferability of the credentials held by the applicant. Transfer credit recommendations will be given for every certificate, diploma and degree offered throughout Bulgaria. Paddack will first stop at Munich, Germany for two days before departing to Bulgaria to work with the team of evaluators. At the end of the period of the onsite investigations, the group will reconvene in Munich for three more days of joint collaboration. Paddack is scheduled to return to

Paddack to evaluate Bulgarian school system
By Joanne Wong
Student Writer Dr. Ronald L. Paddack, director of the University of Central Oklahoma International Office, has been selected to evaluate the Bulgarian educational system. He is a member of the six-person team selected to evaluate the educational systems of Bulgaria and Romania and write a book to
the United States on May 19, 1993. "The educational system of Bulgaria is quite different from the U.S. model, but is in a state of
flux with major changes being made daily. Thus the research should be very timely," Paddack said.

Ex-sheriff to be guest lecturer at UCO Lecturer will expand on past police experiences By Joy McNutt Student Writer Ex-sheriff and ex-undercover narcotics agent Jeri Cook is now a full-time action/adventure novelist and evening lecturer at the University of Central Oklahoma. During fall 1993, he will teach a course which will inform writing students about police, criminals and crime victims. The creative studies course, offered Wednesday evenings, is called Police Research Writing. Cook said that most people don' t know technical details of police
work so it is hard for them to write about it. But, he said, most books have cops come into the story somewhere. Cook will teach about what police work he has experienced, he said, including special weapons and tactics. He will also have guest speakers from other areas of law enforcement give insight into police work. The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation employs two of the guest speakers. Harvey Pratt, forensic artist for the OSBI, said he will inform students about techniques used in
long-term investigations and investigating unidentified bodies, including photographing and examining them. He will also describe the evolution of the criminal personality which, he said, is the progression some persons go through from misdemeanor to murder. DeWade Langley, deputy director of OSBI, said he will describe some of the computer technology currently used in police work such as DNA checking and the Automated Fingerprint Identification System.
AFIS has reduced the amount of time necessary to match fingerprints from an impossible 20 years to 2 1/2-8 hours, Langley said. He explained that the computer finds the 10-15 closest possible matches from the total 450-500,000 fingerprints. Then an expert makes an identification from those 10-15 and testifies in court, he said. Victims of crime, such as a battered wife, will also speak to students to shed some light on their experiences, Cook said. A safecracker and a reformed drug dealer may be among those
who will speak about criminal activity from the criminal's perspective, he said. Cook said he knows these guest speakers through his 10 years of experience in police work. He is currently working on his 12th novel, he said. Writing has been his full-time occupation since 1989 when he sold his first book "The Cutting Edge," Cook said. He has been teaching at UCO three semesters. This semester he is teaching Mystery Writing. Previously, he taught Writing the Action/Adventure Novel.
