Academics may gain Officials plan academic building for UCO; `Sin' tax to provide money for construction By Penny Owen Staff Writer

Gov. David Walters' proposed sin tax may be what provides the University of Central Oklahoma with new classrooms and laboratories next year. As part of a Capital Bond Issue now before the legislature, Walters plans to raise $38 million for higher education by raising the tax on alcohol, bingo and tobacco. If approved, the bond issue will be placed on a ballot for a vote of the people. At UCO, administration officials said they are optimistic. Architects have been hired and a $100,000 planning grant is being used to draw up a new master plan, which will include a new academic building as well as major renovations to the business and music buildings, said UCO VicePresident of Administration Joyce Mounce. "It's an excellent time for the state to go with a bond issue because the interest rates are so low," Mounce said. "I'm very hopeful." Since learning of the bond issue, administration has asked all UCO departments to compile a "need list" showing what they want done first in their area. However, Mounce said top priority will go to erecting the new building, which may cost up to $11 million to construct. Immediately, the new building would create 100 construction jobs, and the ripple effect to the local economy would generate an additional $33.7 million, according to an economic study done by UCO Economics Professor Don Maxwell. The new building would also mean room for more students, adding an extra $1.5 to $2 million to the economy per year, based on a 5 percent annual enrollment increase, the study said. Other construction plans include joining
the two business buildings and adding an elevator and seminar room to the newly created space, said Mounce.
cc It's an excellent time for the state to go with a bond issue because the interest rates are so low. I'm very hopeful. —Joyce Mounce vice president Rearrangement of the music building would be done to utilize existing dead space. Mounce said if the funding comes through, construction will begin later this year. Another UCO building in need of expansion is the University Center, said University Center Director A.K. Rahman, who added that the banquet rooms are booked through 1994. Rahman said he could easily fill twice the existing space. Besides UCO functions, there are civic organizations, out-of-state conferences, government and high school functions which want to rent the new building space on a regular basis. Unlike an academic building, the University Center must be self-supporting, raising its own money for expansion, Mounce said. However, a new facility fee of $2 per semester per student is now before the legislature. If passed, Mounce said the money will go toward expanding the University Center and lengthening its operating hours. Although Mounce said she does not expect the 4 percent tuition increase to be approved, she expects the facility fee to pass. The legislature will make a decision by the end of May. V
Suspects arrested in Kallienke case By Allen Norbury Staff Writer Edmond police arrested two juvenile suspects last Wednesday at 400 East Danforth in connection with the April 22 fire at 800 North Chowning Ave that claimed the life of a University of Central Oklahoma professor. The body that was burned beyond recognition was confirmed by medical examiners through dental records to be that of UCO German professor Gerhard Kallienke, Capt. Ron Cavin said at a press conference Wednesday. The suspects are both females ages 13 and 16, and are both from
Edmond, but are not related, Cavin said. The 16-year-old was identified by relatives as Jacquline James and the 13-year-old was identified by her mother as Shariell Brisby. Edmond Fire marshal Ron Williamson ruled arson as the cause for the fire. "The two juveniles will be charged with first-degree murder and first-degree arson," Cavin said. Brad Miller, an assistant district attorney from District Attorney Bob Macy's office, said charges were to be officially filed Monday. The two suspects were acquainted with Kallienke, but Ca-
yin would not elaborate on how the three were acquainted. He said that theft, over a period of one month, may have been the motive. "Theft was evident," he said. However, Cavin refused to comment further, but did say there was no evidence of forced entry into Kallienke's home. Cavin also said he has ruled out gang involvement. "No gang affiliation is evident," he said. The official cause of Kallienke's death was smoke inhalation, Cavin said. "The body was found in the living room and it didn't appear Kallienke tried to escape the fire," Ca-
yin said. Relatives of the suspects said they are shocked at the allegations, and continue to claim the girls' innocence. Angela Brisby, Shariell's mother, said "They are innocent and I have evidence showing that." Brisby claims the girls were at her home during the time of the fire. Sue James, sister of Jacquline James, said Wednesday that she was shocked to hear about her sister's arrest. "I didn't know what to say, it was shocking, it was the first time she had been in trouble. She's the type of girl who gets up and goes to school everyday and comes
home." For the duration of the semester Kallienke's classes will continue with a substitute.
Service Wednesday ' A memorial service for Kallienke is planned for Wednesday at 11:30 a.m.in the Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal Arts building. For more information, contact Dr. William Parker, assistant dean of Liberal Arts, at ext. 2522. V

When do you die? The anencephalic baby might have died with all her organs, but her case could still save other lives.
W
hat is the meaning of death? Experts say it is when all parts of the brain stop functioning. But for the parents of Florida's Baby Theresa, death meant that their daughter would never have had the capability of truly living. Theresa Ann Campo Pearson was born March 21 at Broward General Medical Center near Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. with the fatal condition, anencephaly. Most of her skull was missing and she had only a brainstem which controlled reflexes such as heartbeat and breathing. The parents, Lauro and Justin Pearson, knew about their baby's condition before she was born. They wanted to help save the lives of other infants by donating her organs. They realized that almost all anencephalics die within days or weeks and it would be too late if they waited for her to die naturally. However, Florida law states that death cannot be declared until all brain activity ceases. The parents took their case to Florida's Supreme Court, fighting for the right to declare Theresa dead and to donate her organs. Unfortunately, by the time the case was taken to court, the organs had already deteriorated too much. She died at the age of nine days. None of her organs were donated. Parents of an anencephalic child should be allowed to donate the baby's organs to help organs because they want to turn something negative into something positive. Some ethicists are afraid that allowing anencephalic babies to donate organs could lead to donating organs of children with less severe disabilities. Stephen Post, medical ethicist at Case Western Reserve University, said, "In our culture...it is unethical to kill in order to save. It's unethical to kill person A to save person B." But, in this situation, letting person A die before she could try to save others may have led directly to the deaths of persons B, C and maybe D. People should consider this case through the utilitarian's viewpoint. The action that would have provided the greatest happiness for the greatest number should have been performed. Theresa should have been allowed to live in the bodies of other infants who needed help.

What ecology danger? Writer says deterioration continues; Sudden Earth Day excitement frivolous
I
debated whether to write this response. It's risky these days. Inevitably, in the minds of some, I will become propollution, pro-dirty water, prolitter, pro-toxic waste, prodestruction of cute little furry things: a harbinger of doom in the 21st century who does not deserve to bask in the solemn greenness of our lovely planet. This is not the case, but someone has to say something about all this frothing at the mouth on Earth Day. To the point — Ozone. Ruthanne Smith's assertion, "...in the last two decades...we've managed to create a hole in the ozone..." is a rash statement not based on fact. To be sure, none of the great and various information on ozone thinning (there are actually no "holes," there are thinning sections) is yet based in fact; it is wholly theory. It is wrong, Ms. Smith, to present, as if it were a fact, the theory that, though our planet has supposedly existed for billions of years, all ozone depletion has occurred in the last 20 years, due to practices of our modern society of "ignorance and greed." I have heard new information that bovine flatulence and volcanic eruptions produce more ozone-depleting agents than humans could ever produce. This is also not yet fact and I do not present it as such. My criticism is this, Ms. Smith: out of the vast, various and conflicting evidence, you have chosen the evidence you believe and advocate to serve your own agenda of playing the blame game against the society of the last 20 years. Our technology, which you belittle, is
what enabled us to discover this potential problem and to begin the search for possible solutions. It is continuing technological advancement that will give us the needed information to decide what to do, if anything (it is not yet proved that ozone depletion is not a normal atmospheric occurrence), about the problem. Next issue. Ms. Smith writes of the tragedy of species obliteration — again all within the last 20 years. Hogwash! Now, are we talking about cows and horses, or is it more like fur-bearing, flying catfish and pink-bellied, threelegged muskrats? Species and sub-groups of species have been coming and going like clothing fads for millions of years. We get some neat new ones every so often, too. We have no dinosaurs; no one's grieving. Study Darwin. Third, trees. They are a renewable resource. There are more trees now than there were a hundred years ago. We are not running out of trees. I would venture to say that lumber companies, considered tree and endangeredfurry-thing killers by some, will plant more trees this year than environmentalists will plant in the next 10 years. Someone once said that the beauty of a tree is what you can make from it — houses for shelter, wood to burn for warmth, pencils and baseball bats for our children (paper on which to print Earth Day flyers). Let's not forget this. Trees left alone in nature are vital, obviously, and beautiful, certainly. But we can have our
trees and eat them too, so to speak. So hug a tree for me. We all like trees. Finally, Ms. Smith quotes from an 1855 speech made by Chief Seattle. It is not my intent to bash American Indian religious beliefs and the worship of nature, but suffice it to say that not everyone holds these beliefs. Most of us would not consider the life that modern civilization has forged for itself, "...the end of living and the beginning of survival...," as Chief Seattle predicted could happen. I believe most would turn that statement around. In any event, one need not to be a nature worshipper to appreciate the environment and work for its protection. Earth Day can be a good and positive thing. Why don't we use this day to promote rather than to disparage? To promote responsible use of our natural resources to fashion a better life for our children. To promote recycling, research and development of alternative fuels, doing our part to clean up the messes we have made, sending a message to those who dump toxic waste irresponsibly that we will not stand for it, not callously littering; all of these are good and responsible objectives. But complaining, blaming and bashing modem civilization and the better life we have created for ourselves does no good now, nor will it ever.

The men behind the babes and the bovines By Kathy Karr Managing Editor Can anybody really picture what their favorite cartoonist looks like? What kind of mental picture can you draw from a comic strip and a name? What kind of lives do these people lead, and just where in the heck do they get all those wacky ideas? Chris Jennings, (also known as C.S.) whose strip "Big Town" graces the pages of the Vista, is a long, lean and lanky Steve Martinesque type dude. Jennings has been offering up visual tidbits for the Vista since 1990, and plans to continue entertaining the paper's readers until he graduates in 1993. "I began four semesters ago," says Jennings, who is kicked back in the Vista office, taking a break from drawing. "And I wanna keep doing it as long as I'm here. I've got at least four more semesters of storylines." Jennings began his drawing career at the tender age of two, and hasn't stopped since. "Big Town" is a strip about the adventures of four guys going through the ups and downs of college life. "Gil (the strip's main character) kind of represents all the weaknesses and insecurities I have," says Jennings. "And the aim of the strip is relationships. That's what's important. That's what college kids think about." Jennings, who is a major in graphic advertising, also works at the Second Street T-Shirt Shop, designing shirts for clients.
Besides his work cartooning and designing, Jennings spends time in church theater. Every year he stars as Satan, a role he originated five years ago in the musical drama "The Bride." The production is presented annually at Edmond's MetroChurch. This year's presentation was taped for tentative broadcast on the Trinity Broadcasting Network on May 1. The church plays a big part in Jennings' life.
Christopher Jennings "Jesus is real important to me," says Jennings. "Sometimes morals are an issue for me in 'Big Town.' I hope that people don't think I overstep the line. I really don't get Christianity in the strip at all. I just try to relate to people as people, 'cause that's what Christianity is all about." Jennings is the head of the drama team at his church, and directs "Godspell" each summer. "Bigtown" has been noticed, particularly by men, for the hot
chesty babes Jennings manages to include in nearly every strip. Has accusations of sexism been a problem for him? "No, and I'm real surprised," says Jennings with a laugh. "I'm not being sexist on purpose. Every once in a while I try to throw in large beefy guys for the female readers." At 20 years old, ("I'm almost 21," he emphasizes), Jennings is single and looking. And he has specific qualities that he looks for in a potential cartoonist's mate. "Well," he says seriously. "I look for somebody with a sense of humor. Somebody morally upstanding." He pauses for dramatic effect. "Somebody who is athletic and has really large breasts," he concludes, before bursting into laughter as the rest of the people in the newsroom turn their heads to check out the commotion. One of those listening in on the Jennings' interview is "Backlash" cartoonist Kevin Blankenship. As he puts the finishing touches on the "Backlash" special edition appearing in this issue, Blankenship waits to take his turn in the interview spotlight. "Backlash," starring bovines Ray, Bob, Earl and Ed, ("I would hesitate to call them bulls," Blankenship says. "I prefer `guys'), has proven to be one of the more popular strips in the Vista. Blankenship, a graphic design major, has his sights set on national syndication. "I'm going to apply for syndication this summer," he says. "But I'm being real skeptical. They get

10,000 applications a year, and they only accept two." Blankenship has been drawing for the Vista since the fall of 1990,
that name on campus." Blankenship cites among his cartooning influences "Garfield" creator Jim Davis, and Berke Breathed, the genius behind "Outland" and the now defunct "Bloom County." Blankenship is 21, and like fellow cartoonist Jennings, is "single and looking." "I'm a sucker for older women," he says. "And I believe conversation is a lost art. I'd like a woman with a little bit more on her mind than teasing her hair and counting her feet."
Kevin Blankenship and in that time has managed to stir up a bit of controversy with some of his storylines. "I like to refer to Chris as 'the good cartoonist,' because he never gets any hate mail," he says. "I got some letters of complaint over a Michael Jackson strip I did, and one woman was really offended over a take-off I did of Elvis." "She said basically that she knew the man," Blankenship says. "And she wanted to know how I could defame the man like that." The most recent cause for complaint came early in the semester, when "Backlash" parodied a fraternity game show and inadvertently used the letters of a Greek organization on UCO' s campus. "I didn't do my research," Blankenship says. "I had no idea there was an organization with
Jennings and Blankenship both see being cartoonists as a sort of semi-fame. "When people find out I do `Backlash' they always say 'Oh, really! Where do you get your ideas?'," says Blankenship. "Normally, the reactions are very favorable, which is kind of surprising," says Jennings. "I didn't think being a cartoonist meant anything."
Editor's note: This issue of the Vista is the unofficial cartoonist's issue. Both Jennings and Blankenship have a full page to display their artistic talent. So readers can enjoy an extra-large dose of both "Backlash" and "Big Town," and have warm fuzzy memories to carry with them until the summer edition of the Vista begins. So turn the page, and enjoy.

Central Oklahoma's track teams were scheduled to travel to Des Moines, Iowa over the weekend to participate in the prestigous Drake Relays. The Bronchos, however, had a change of heart, a change of schedule and ultimately a change of location and ended up at the Southwest Kansas Relays in Winfield, Kans. Judging by their success, UCO runners undoubtedly were pleased with the swap in venue as they placed in 18 events, including two gold medals. Impressive as that is, consider this: UCO is without it's top two male sprinters in Bill Shepard and

Head coach Wendell Simmons and the Broncho baseball team will not win a Lone Star Conference baseball championship this year. Hot-hitting Cameron (.316 team batting avg.) sealed Central Oklahoma's fate by winning two of three weekend games against the Bronchos, eliminating them from the league title race. UCO, now 25-26 overall and 8-7 in the LSC, could have still won the league title outright, but a threegame series against cellar-dwelling Eastern New Mexico (18-29 and 4-11) was cancelled last week because of rain and will not be rescheduled. The powerful Aggies (28-20) will take on surging Abilene Christian (30-14) in a three-game weekend series to decide the LSC's first-ever league baseball

champion. Both teams are currently tied for the league lead at 9-6. The Bronchos will finish up the 1992 season Tuesday, travelling to Topeka, Kan., for a twin bill against Washburn. UCO must win both games to assure itself of the first winning season since 1986. Tim Davis "I wish we had the opportunity 5 HRs, 39 RBI to play Eastern, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen," Simmons said. "We just didn't swing the bats well." UCO outhit Cameron 8-7 in the series finale Saturday afternoon and salvaged some respect with a 7-1 victory, making a winner of junior pitching ace Brian Collins (6-2).
Mike Cheney, both of whom are lost for the season due to injuries; senior standout Anita Stufflebeam has left the squad; several other team members are running hurt. "I thought we ran all right considering we were missing five or six of our top runners," said UCO veteran coach Paul Parent. Claiming first were Gary Hamer in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:59 and the distance medley relay team of Jeremy Kie, Vince Tolbert, Hamer and Greg Warlick, who clocked a 10:15. UCO also had three mens' relay teams finish in the runner-up spot. The sprint medley relay team of Chad Reid, Aundra Maxey, Clay Calicoat and Jon Brown raced to a 3:39 clocking, while the 1,600-meter relay team of Tolbert, Kie, Mike Houston and Robert Wilson ran a 3:19. Brian Woodall, Kyle Skartwed, Jeff Brown and Warlick combined to run an 8:09 timing in the 3,200 relay.
The 800 relay team of Reid, Maxey, Calicoat and Wilson finished third with a time of 1:29 and the 400 relay team, comprised of Reid, Maxey, Tolbert and Wilson, also took third with a 42.5 clocking. Kevin Nichols finished third in the shot put competition with a heave of 47'8" and fourth in the discus with a 147'9" toss. Skartwed rambled to a third-place finish (9:31) in the 3,000-meter steeple chase, and Randall Rogers took fourth in the 400 intermediate hurdles in 56.7. For the Ladies, Ashley Mathis raced to a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter run. Mathis was timed at 2:29. Mylissa Hall also finished in the fourth spot in the 3,000-meter race with a time of 11:45. Stephanie Collins completed the trio of fourth-place finishes with her 1:04 in the 400 meters. V

Twentysomething group at risk , Stress, expectations too much for some students to handle; Everyday pressures influence rate of suicides committed By Marcia Benedict Editor-in-Chief
Editor's note: May 3 through 9 is observed as Suicide Prevention Week in the nation. Suicide now ranks as the eighth leading cause of death among Americans, and approximately 30,000 cases are reported each year. Suicide is often associated as a major cause of death for American teenagers aged 15 to 19, but now various departments and organizations are carefully monitoring the "twentysomething" age group in an attempt to reduce the number of suicides committed by college students. "We monitor the college age group because it has a real high rate, and because it is usually a period of transition and high stress," said Carol King, suicide prevention coordinator for the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse. In 1990, 429 suicides were committed in Oklahoma, King said. Of those, 38 were between the ages of 20 and 24, she said. Also, in 1990, 81 people under the age of 25 died from suicide, as compared to only 73 in 1989. "Basically, there has not been a real significant change in numbers in past years, but there has been a slight increase," King said. Approximately 425 suicides are committed in Oklahoma each year, she said. Gary Mercer, a University of Central Oklahoma psychology graduate assistant and volunteer for the Norman Alcohol Information Center, said suicides are not common on the UCO campus because of the high percentage of commuter students. Approximately 80 percent of UCO stu-
College Students
dents are commuters. "A lot of students here are paying for their schooling. They have families and schoolwork to think about, so more stress builds on them. At the same time they are more on their own; they know how to handle more stress," Mercer said. But Mercer said suicide numbers increase in higher class ranks. "At a graduate level, the numbers are higher," he said. Split families, unstable marriages and job insecurity lead to suicide, an escape from everyday worries. "With the pressures we have on us today, we have seen an increase in the suicide rate. There is so much instability in the world now. People aren't grounded as much anymore," he said. Mercer said causes of suicide include day-to-day stress and pressures, major losses and in some cases, abandonment. When someone is abandoned as a child, or when a relationship ends, that person tends to blame himself and continue to live in the past, Mercer said.

"By not resolving those issues, people begin to not think continually," he said. When someone begins to focus their attention on a temporary or past occurrence, rather than on the permanence of the future, suicidal thoughts often drift through their minds, Mercer said. "Suicidal people do not see things as temporary. To quote an old cliche: 'Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem,' or that's how they think of it anyway," he said. At the college level, Mercer said even though age-wise a person is considered as an adult, often that person emotionally is not ready to consider himself an adult, and in turn will contemplate suicide.

Suicidal people do not see things as temporary. To quote an old cliche: `Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem,' or that's how they think of it anyway. Gary Mercer UCO graduate assistant —
"A lot of times chronologically people are adults, but actually are not," he said. The best cure for a possible suicide victim is conversation, Mercer said.
BUD DAY
"People who are considering suicide need to talk. They need to talk to a friend or a counselor, just anybody," he said.
Once someone begins to open up and talk about their intentions, changes can begin to occur, Mercer said.
"You can make them change something that has been the same and is ordinary. You can help them make a list of what is stopping them from actually doing it. But you can't stop caring. Don't stop caring. Never stop caring or letting off," he said. Attention vs. intention is an issue which keeps people from believing someone who may actually be considering suicide. But Mercer said verbal threats of suicide almost never come from actual victims. "People who actually commit suicide are the ones who usually don't talk to anyone. They seem to withdraw, so you think 'Oh, he's OK,' but then he's gone," Mercer said. V

Summer history class offers hints By Tami Watson Student Writer Dr. Diane Kremm, professor of history and geography at the University of Central Oklahoma will be teaching a summer intersession on the teaching of Advanced Placement American History. The course will be offered from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Aug. 10-14 and is worth three hours of graduate or undergraduate credit. The course is designed to help teachers improve their teaching and to help increase students' grades on the Advanced Placement American History test, said Kremm. Kremm said the course will offer helpful hints on how to set up advanced placement prog-
rams in schools and how to improve programs that already exist. This is the first year the program has been offered at UCO and it is the only program of its kind being offered in Oklahoma. Kremm hopes to attract teachers from around the state and even some from out-ofstate. "We believe we can fill a void in our geographic area," said Kremm. Kremm said each day of the program will be reserved for instruction in certain areas of American History and the preparation for the test. An enrollment of about 30 is expected and Kremm plans to offer the intersession annually. V
Paris, anyone? By Angela Mitchell Student Writer
"It will be an intense, yet fun learning experience," said Stults.
University of Central Oklahoma students can use their knowledge of French to earn credit hours this summer on a two- week study program in Paris, France. The UCO Department of Foreign Language is sponsoring the 1992 Summer French Institute, June 9-23, said Dr. Cathy Stults, institute director and assistant professor of foreign language.
The institute will be worth three undergraduate or graduate credit hours in French, she said. The program is offered to any student having at least 13 credit hours in French. A 5100 deposit is required immediately to reserve a position. The balance of $1495 must be paid in full by June 1.

Dedication today By Chad Richison
Student Writer A dedication ceremony honoring the retirement of Dr. Bill Lillard, University of Central Oklahoma President, will be hosted by the UCO College of Mathematics and Science at 2:30 p.m., today, on the east patio of the Coyner Health Science Building. "We did contribute to his major gift and formal official retirement, but we are dedicating a tree to President Lillard because we wanted to do something special for him," said Dr. G. Kay Owens, dean of the College of Mathematics and Science at UCO. Owens said the College of
Mathematics and Science chose a tree because it represents what Lillard has done for UCO. "He helped us establish a firm foundation which will be symbolized by the root structure of the tree. The tree will not be full grown symbolic of UCO, which is not yet to the potential, and the features that it needs to be an outstanding metropolitan university," Owens said. Dr. Verlin Richardson, professor of chemistry at UCO, has written a poem for Lillard that will be read during the dedication ceremony. A reception will follow the dedication allowing students time to visit with Lillard, Owens said. V

UCO senior receives top debate award By Stephanie Hugo
Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma senior Wayne Harrel is the first debate student from UCO to win a spot on the All American Debate Squad. The National Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) held an awards assembly recently at the University of Texas in Arlington. Harrel was one of the 10 outstanding debaters in the nation to be chosen for the award. "Wayne has been a tremendous researcher, he was very active in the development of himself and in helping to direct his teammates to becoming great debaters," said Doug Duke, director of debate at UCO. The judges at the National Awards Assembly look at the debaters overall excellence in debate, past years' achievements, their reputation in the debate community and how well they placed in the previous tournaments. "When Wayne recieved the award, there was much love and respect from his fellow debaters, myself, and the entire debate community," said Duke. Harrel, along with his colleagues, spent as much as 40 hours a week researching and debating in practice rounds to prepare for the semesters' tournaments, which dealt with the negative effects advertising has on Americans. "Being on the debate team really helped with my research skills, critical thinking, communication skills, and I'm pretty articulate now," said Harrel. Harrel graduated from Commanche High School in 1988, where he first got a taste of debate in a speech class his freshman year. He is currently working on a degree in marketing and plans to attend graduate school for a business degree after he graduates in the spring of 1993, although he said he may get right into the job market.

Debaters - who are they? By Angela Mitchell
Student Writer Debaters. Where do they come from; where do they go? The Webster's New World Dictionary defines debate as an act to discuss opposing reasons; to argue. To consider reasons for and against. A formal contest of skill in reasoned argument, with two teams taking opposite sides of a specific question. The art or study of formal debate. Debaters usually come from a high school that has a debate team. The students usually have some experience with debate, said Dr. Doug Duke, assistant professor of oral communications and debate director at the University of Central Oklahoma. High school debate is not a requirement. Many students walk on the team and get their first experiences here at the university level, he said. Once in college, the student almost always majors in political science or oral communications. "There have been several people on the team that have majored in business and other non-political majors," said Duke. "Out of those, the majority is male but we have been fortunate enough to have a couple of females on the team every semester." V
