Professors discuss sexual harassment By Roy Howe Staff Writer Like never before and due to the increasing number of lawsuits, graduating students now entering the work force must sensitize themselves to sexual harassment issues. People may think the rise in harassment complaints is due to Anita Hill's nationwide testimony during the Clarence Thomas senate conformation hearings, but Tom Guild, University of Central Oklahoma business professor, says that may not be the case. Guild has researched and helped author a publication about sexual harassment and

said he personally feels Hill's testimony is not the main reason behind the recent complaints. "I think the reason we have more sexual harassment and more publicity in the media on the issue today has little to do with Thomas and Hill," Guild said. "I think it's caused by the general lack of civility today in our society," Guild said. "We don't treat each other as well as we should and a lot of that has to do, in my opinion, with the continuing deterioration and decay of the American family unit." Guild said proper behavior is not learned by young people nowadays because of a lack of mentors. "The kids don't have the role models to

teach the boundaries of appropriate behavior, and they are carrying that into the workplace." Another misconception surrounds those affected by sexual harassment. "Sexual harassment affects people," said Lewis Irving, professor of sociology. "Harassment is not just from men to women," he said. "It's also from women to men, men to men and women to women. "The society's basic idea is that it is males harassing females, and that is not the case." Irving said he is aware of male students on campus who were harassed by other male students because they are homosexual. Irving also explained that he had a woman

The University of Central Oklahoma will hold its spring 1994 graduation ceremonies May 13-14 in the Hamilton Field House. Ceremonies will be held for 1,508 students from the four colleges, said Ken Young, director of Degree Certification and Veterans' Affairs at UCO. Ceremonies for the College of Education will be held at 7 p.m. May 13, said Young. Graduation ceremonies conclude on May 14 with the College of B usiness Administration at 10 a.m., the College of Mathematics and Science at 1 p.m. and the College of Liberal Arts at 4 p.m., said Young. "Any student who is planning to graduate but has not been notified needs to contact me as soon as possible," said Young. The names of students who have not applied will not appear in the graduation program, and they will not be able to attend the President's Graduation Dinner, said Young. Students who have questions about their graduation status can contact the Office of Degree Certification and Veterans' Affairs, 341-2980, Ext. 2392.

grab his breast, claiming "yours are bigger than mine." Guild said a 1993 poll of 400 female executives showed that 27 percent had experienced sexual harassment first hand. He said that out of the 27 percent, only 25 percent reported the act to their employer. "You'llnotice," Guild said, "they did not ask male employees about harassment, because they assume it doesn't happen." A person may consider an act harassment when in fact it is not, Guild said. There are two types of sexual harassment recognized by the federal courts: Quid pro quo and hostile environment. The first requires a person to have supervisory power over the person who is harassed. This would require a person to ask for sexual favors in exchange for advancement on the job. The latter, hostile environment, involves remarks or behavior which are of a sexual nature and considers whether these remarks and behaviors are hostile or offensive in the working environment. These remarks or behavior must affect or interfere with the person's conditions of employment or the person's work performance and must meet two requirements: Subjective, where the complaining victim perceives the environment to be abusive, and objective, which takes into account whether a reasonable person would also feel the conduct is severe enough to be abusive in the work environment. "The majority of harassing statements or actions are diffused at that point and time," Guild said. "Every now and then, you'll have to find another way to deal with it," he said. "There are certain situations where it is so dramatic that it must be taken to a higher authority." To stray from sexual harassment, Irving and Guild offer several suggestions. "Treat a person as a human being and not as a sexual object," Irving said. V See HARASSMENT, Page 5

Graduation first step to long job search

T

. most seniors, the idea of graduating is exciting but also scary. After four or more years of higher learning, some think they are ready to conquer the world and go out and get their just reward— a career in their major. Unfortunately it's not that easy, graduates need to approach the jobsearch process realistically. The job-search process — sending out resumes, interviewing, following up, etc. — takes time. Expect to spend six to eight months on the process, according to Kathryn Greenlee, director of the University of Central Oklahoma Career Development and Placement Office. The job search can become a loathsome experience because of the waiting, the rejection and the disappointments one may have to face. One may send out 10 resumes and get no responses, said Greenlee. College career counselors say that more and more students are "dragging their feet about job hunting because of bleak employment news they heard from last year's grads," according to an article in The Wall Street .Journal's College Edition of the National Business Employment Weekly. The article also states it is important to visit the college's career services office for help. Graduates should understand rejection is part of the process. Very rarely does one get a job right upon graduation, nor does one get a job after sending out that first resume. The key is to get as much experience as possible in one's field of study before graduating. Or it's better to take a "McJob," any temporary job, in order to survive while going through the job search. Although it may not seem like it, graduating is the easy part. Landing a job in one's expected career is not. This issue of The Vista is provided to inform as well as prepare present and future graduates of the process that lies ahead. Whatever the situation, graduates will hopefully have a guide to work them through the process. By maintaining realistic goals and understanding what the future may hold, the job search might be a little bit easier to handle. Good luck and congratulations to all graduates.

Mom who deserted newborn gets to keep her teaching certificate oberta Doss was the jester trying to fool the judge on April Fool's' Day. But Judge Edward C. Cunningham just didn't get the joke. A report in The Daily Oklahoman said that although Doss resorted to many tears and claims of remorse for deserting her newborn near a Yukon clinic October 5 last year, Cunningham was not remiss in his duty to pass sentencing. Doss received a five-year deferred sentence but the judge showed compassion and allowed her to keep her teaching certificate, conditional upon, among other things, her continuing psy-

chological treatment. Doss obviously has severe problems, so who would want her to be alone with their children? Part of her sentence included completing 500 hours of community service. Those 500 hours could include teaching music to underprivileged children. But poor or not, no child should be used as a guinea pig for this `poor little rich girl' to test her ability to cope. Perhaps Doss' psychological problems are not as severe as she would lead one to believe. She originally lied about her pregnancy and denied her baby to shield the embarrassment of her family and friends finding out; which clearly

indicates that she knew right from wrong. Therefore, she is very possibly a menace to any child and no parents should be comfortable with their child in her care. As Judge Cunningham was not remiss but showed compassion to Doss, parents should likewise not be remiss in protecting their children and show compassion by suggesting that Doss pursue another profession, one that does not involve children. She knows right from wrong, still she committed the hideous offense, and against her own son, I might add. Perhaps she is simply calloused and evil. -By Voncile Davis Student Writer

Planning needed to live on first pay By Jojo Takyi-Micah Staff Writer Most graduating seniors are going to be out on their own for the first time. Exciting as this may seem, it is still a scary thought. How does one survive on the first paycheck? For most, they have never had to pay any bills because they lived at home. Some have only just paid part of their bills because they had roommates. Dr. Kathryn E. Greenlee, director of the Career Development and Placement Office, said doing a week or two of homework might be a bright idea. "We need to know what the cost of living in general is and also need to know what the cost of living is in a given geographic area," she said. Some graduates may get more than one salary offer, $22,000 a year in Oklahoma City and $30,000 a year in Los Angeles. The $22,000 job in Oklahoma City is much better when you compare the cost of living in the two cities. People need to sit down and think about where the money goes and what it would take to

survive on what they have. People need to think in terms of rent, food, insurance, toiletries and the unexpected. "People don't budget, they don't balance their checkbook because they are afraid of what they are going to see," Greenlee said. "Young people should learn to listen a little more closely to their elders because we as your elders have been where you are, but you have not yet been where we are," said Nancy Brown with the journalism department. Brown, who has reared five children, said "be real nice to your parents. Don' t burn down any bridges." A good way to survive is to "make sure your necessities are met first before spending money on the things you could do without, like entertainment," said Jessica Danker, former UCO student "I write down what days the bills are due so I don' t forget," she said. Interested students can pick up copies of the cost of living index from the Career Development and Placement Services at the University Center.

Be prepared during interviews By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer

"Granting an interview is not a job offer. You made the cut, but it is not a done deal," said Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director of Career Development and Placement Offices at the University of Central Oklahoma. According to the Career Development and Placement Office, the interview is a crucial part of the job search. "Appearance is the key. It may sound superficial but beg, borrow or steal a suit," said Greenlee. You are saying you care about the job." "The interview is a chance for the employer to assess your skills and to see if you fit in the organization," said Greenlee. "You are also Netting information from them, checking out the company." "People hire the kind of person they want to work with everyday." said Greenlee. "If you go into the interview, and you are negative, whining, blaming the world for all of your problems, and you have a real chip on your shoulder," said Greenlee. "you won't get hired." There is no aspect of the job search that one doesn't start with knowing skills, because one wants to appear articulate and seem smooth and polished in the interview, said Greenlee. Before an interview, "you have

to Imow the basics about the company," said Greenlee. Information about different companies can be found in the UCO Career Development and Placement Offices. "Show kmowledge of the company and work it into conversation," said Greenlee. "They like you to ask questions because it lets them know that you are inquisitive," said Greenlee. "Know some basics about the company. But don't get in their face about it or seem arrogant." Some information to have on the employer: V Relative size of firm in the industry

Employees can survive after being fired By TerriKing Staff Writer

Few things can compare to the elation of landing that first big job after graduation and the promise of independence and security that it brings. But with hiring freezes, mass layoffs and other symptoms of the corporate downsizing mania that freshly-hatched college graduates face, being fired or laid off from that new job can be a definite possibility. Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director of Career Development and Placement Services at the University of Central Oklahoma, said that los-

ing a job is not uncommon anymore. "Unfortunately, downsizing is just a way of American business anymore," said Greenlee. Greenlee said one of the best strategies when faced with losing a job is to try to be aware when a change is coming. "Keep your eyes open and keep your ears open and try to be aware that this is a possibility. Look for the warning signs and see if layoffs might be eminent in your company. "Then start conducting your job search while you still have your current job," Said Greenlee. Greenlee said there is a possibility that an employee could stave

off an eminent layoff by becoming "indispensable" to the company. "Try to ride out the storm by making yourself invaluable, by making yourself such an important part of what makes that company run, that they dare not let you go. "Make sure your supervisors are very well aware of what you do for them. "The survivors in a company show a willingness to do more, and people need to express their willingness to be flexible," said Greenlee. Greenlee said that developing not only technical skills, but also communication skills, can help an

employee be considered more valuable to a company. "I just spoke with a professor from Northeastern University in Boston who did a survey of employers in the Boston area, and what they have to say is exactly what I hear from Oklahoma City employers time and time again. There are some general kinds of skills that employers in every kind of business like to see grads have, and they are: communicadons skills— they want to know if you can write a report, can you give clear directions or give a presentation before a board of directors. "Good interpersonal skills—

can you work well as a team member, can you work well with your supervisors, with your peers and with your staff underneath you. Can you get along, are you a positive person? "And lastly, do you have a good work ethic? Employers are crying for it today. They want to know if someone is going to come in and if they're going to give it everything they' ve got to see projects through and show some initiative and be motivated," Greenlee said Greenlee said that these, along with the technical skills learned in college, can help a graduate find, get and keep a job in the tough job market of the '90s.

Laws limit what questions can be asked By TerriKing Staff Writer

Getting that first big interview is often only half the battle for the job-seeking graduate. One of the obstacles to making a good first impression in an interview could be apprehensions about what the interviewer might ask. Can an interviewer ask about

such things as a history of psychiatric therapy, for instance? Career Development and Placement Services Director Dr. Kathryn Greenlee said according to federal law, there are certain questions that are illegal for a prospective employer to ask. The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) forbids discrimination on the basis of physical or

"Use common sense. Have sexual speech and conduct outside of the workplace where it doesn' t belong anyway, and more than likely you' 11 be protected from a legal standpoint," Guild said. " With sexual harassment cases surfacing across the country, some graduates entering the work force may scare from simple compliments. "On one side of the coin," Irving said, "if you say 'that blouse looks nice on you,' that's not a potentially harassing statement.

However, if you say 'that blouse looks very nice and accentuates your voluptuous breasts,' you may be opening yourself up to a lawsuit." A manuscript called "The Mod-

ern Manager' s Nightmare - Sexual Harassment," was recently accepted for publication to the summer issue of the Central Business Review. The work was co-authored by UCO Professor of Management Charles Rickman and Louise Rickman. John Samaras, UCO management professor, edited it.

Artists have many options open for careers, says art professor Students can work in education, advertising By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer

When thinking of art, most think of New York, Chicago or Atlanta, not Oklahoma. "To market your work, most have to go outside the boundaries of Oklahoma," said Bob Palmer, professor of visual arts and design at the University of Central Oklahoma. The modern galleries and the Arts Festival offer a broad spectrum, but a lot of work has to go out of state, said Palmer. UCO currently offers degrees in art education, photographic arts, formation arts, graphic arts and

graphic design. According to Palmer, one thing that helps is a professional development class the art department offers. The class is for seniors and some juniors who are serious about a career in the fine arts. "We find out who is serious and talk to people working in fine arts," said Palmer. "It gives us a taste of reality." Palmer advised those wishing to market their art to find agents. We have a very good percentage of people who go on to do well in this area. If they are top notch. they will go on to success," said Palmer. "Education is always a good bet. That degree is definite," said Palmer. -

Many UCO graduates have gone to teach at vo-techs and junior colleges in addition to Rose State College and Oklahoma Community College, said Palmer. Palmer also said that many students are placed in master's programs at other universities because UCO does not offer a master's program in the arts. "Many ad firms take our graphic design students, it is more commercial," said Palmer. "There are several photo studios that have hired our students," said Palmer. "We place people in air brush at places like Moto Photo or Glamour Shots." "Our people wind up in a lot of different areas, while some strike out on their own," said Palmer.

The user can use this information to make decisions. However, "it will not tell you what to do or give you easy answers for your career decisions." Mark Hanebutt, a journalism professor at UCO, said he found out about the program by mistake. He said he overheard some students talking about it, it seemed interesting and sort of a fun thing to do, so he tested it himself. Hanebutt said the program is user-friendly and basically, anyone can use it.

McAllister said it takes about one hour and 15 minutes to complete the program. The user does not have to limit himself to one occupation or interest. McAllister said the program lists about 500 careers of four pages each that are updated on a regular basis. "The results are immediate," Hanebutt said. "I ended up with about 40 pages of information to sift through." The DISCOVER program finds occupations that relate to the user

and what he wants to know about himself. It can help develop good job-seeking skills and provide information on financial aid programs, as well. "If a program is not on campus, the computer can do a college search," McAllister said.

Explosion wrecks satellite, kills 1

International students must show insurance to stay in class By Jojo Takyi-Micah Staff Writer

BEIJING (AP) — An explosion in a workshop at China's main launching site destroyed a weather satellite and killed a worker, an 'Official confirmed Tuesday. Up to 30 other people were injured in the April 2 blast at the Xichang national satellite launch center in Sichuan province, said a spokesman at the state-run Aerospace Industrial General Corp. who refused to give his mune. A group of experts was investigating the caUse, he said. There was no damage to the launch pad, some 2.5 miles from the workshop, the official said. An earlier official report suggested the accident might affect the rest of the year's launching schedule. The destroyed meteorological satellite was the first "Fengyun 2."

Pants' leg imprint leads to arrest KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police had little to go on to find the hit-and-Am driver who seriously injured June Aurelio — until they noticed a partial license plate number imprinted on her pants' leg. On Monday, authorities arrested Jack T. Morgan on charges of aggravated battery, leaving the scene of an accident and driving with no insurance. Aurelio was struck March 18 in rural Johnson County, Kan. At first, all investigators had to go on was a description from witnesses of a black hatchback vehicle. Then,' using laser light, they deciphered the first two characters of a Missouri license tag and the plate's month of expiration on Aurelio's pants. They came up with a list of 28 possible vehicles that had those digits on their plates, and further digging led to Morgan's arrest. "Anytime two objects strike each other there's a possibility you're going to find an impression," said Ron Jones, director of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's laboratory. John Aurelio said his wife has a broken neck, leg and shoulder, and a spinal cord injury that has left her at least temporarily paralyzed.

Mountain lion kills jogger on trail COOL, Calif. (AP) — A mountain lion apparently attacked and killed a woman who was jogging on a rugged foothills trail. The body of Barbara Schoener, 40, was found Sunday morning in the Auburn Lake Trails subdivision near Cool, about 40 miles northeast of Sacramento. The body had claw marks and deputies found animal hairs that will be analyzed, said Lt. James Roloff. There were signs that her body had been dragged down a hillside, he said. Kevin Hansen of the Mountain Lion Foundation said mountain lions have attacked 64 humans in the United States and Canada in the past 104 years. About a dozen of the attacks were fatal. Deputies issued a warning Sunday night for joggers, bike riders, bikers and horse owners to avoid the Auburn Lake Trails area.

Barney's song prompts rights fight EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — What? Barney the dinosaur without the "I Love You" song? Everett music publisher Jean Warren has sued Barney's owner, alleging copyright infringement. She says she bought the rights to the song in 1983 and wants a cut of the profits. The U.S. District Court lawsuit was filed by Warren Publishing House Inc. against the Lyons Group of Dallas, Barney's owner, and companies that have marketed musical Barney products, including Time-Life Inc. and J.C. Penney Co. The Lyons Group said it purchased rights to the lyrics in 1992 from the Indiana woman who wrote them, Lee Bernstein. 'Warren Publishing said it already owned the rights.

International students who have pre-enrolled for the fall will be dropped from their classes if they do not meet their health insurance requirements by Aug. 12. Students who have met their current insurance requirements will be given permission to preenroll with the understanding that

they will purchase or show proof of insurance by Aug. 12 in order to remain in their classes. "This is the first time this has been done," said Janet Bellows with Student Services. "This is not to be mean but to make it more efficient." She said doing it this way will enable Student Services to have the records computerized, so that students can enroll without having to seek permission each semester.

Students may purchase their insurance now or anytime up to Aug. 12 for $198. Under the policy, students are covered for hospitalizations, injuries, dismemberment and repatriation benefits in the case of death. Bellows said students who would have difficulty meeting the deadline should visit with the Student Services Office in the Lillard Administration Building. Tuition and fees are due Aug. 12.

ong, stringy, dusty hair and last week's five o'clock shadow blowin' round his face, this guy is standing beside the highway, dressed in old, dusty clothes, with a dusty, cardboard sign hangin' round his neck that says, "SANTA FAY" in black magic marker. He's got his arms wide, right hand thumb extended outward. The Merc flies past without so much as a glance his way, leavin' him in the dust. I see him in the mirror, giving me the bird. It starts Bubba Sue ramblin' about how she used to hitchhike to California and back when she was younger. "Didn't ya have a car?" I ask her, and she says, "Sure — I just wanted to hitchhike." She opens another Bud and says it was because of the uncertainty of the situations she was cast in, the danger of ridin' with strangers, not knowing if she would be okay, or die at the hands of some maniac. Bubba Sue is so weird. Anyway, she's still goin' on about it when I look up the road and see this carcass. I can't tell what it is -- rabbit maybe. It's pretty spoiled, and besides, my attention is on this humongous turkey buzzard swoopin' down from the sky. He's seen the carcass, too. But he don't see me, I guess, until about the

Column same time he lands. He starts to take back off, but it's too late and — whap! — the Merc's grille catches him a good one. He's hung up at 60 miles an hour, screamin' like a banshee, bleedin' all over my hood, wings flappin' a mile a minute, frightened, stupid bird eyes starin' at us — involuntarily hitchin' a ride, I think, not knowing if he'll live or die. Bubba Sue's pointing at him, laughin' her butt off, shaking so hard she's sloshin' beer all over her and the interior of the car. I start to feel sorry for the thing after a while, and I'm just about to pull over, when he finally kicks loose. He slams against the windshield, rolls over the vinyl top, smacks the trunk real hard, and lands in the middle of the road behind us. He's only got one wing flappin', now, slowin' down with every other beat. Bubba Sue is still cackling, and says she knows how he feels, only she was usually inside the cars. light up a Camel, thinkin' about goin' back for the hitchhiker. And then I think: if that turkey buzzard had been inside the car, goin' ballistic, we'd probably all be dead now, and I change my mind. Instead, I push the accelerator closer to the floor and check the gas gauge .. . I've always kinda wanted to see Santa Fe.

Students, staff celebrate UCO groundbreaking Balloons, bands and barbecue commemorate $52 million renovation By Roy Howe Staff Writer

People who frequent the campus as well those outside the college community celebrated the groundbreaking ceremonies for the University of Central Oklahoma's $52 million Master Plan last week. The ceremonies involved the sites of new buildings and renovation that the Master Plan calls for. After 22 individual celebrations where ribbons were cut, balloons were released and other various activities were performed, hundreds of people gathered at Thatcher Lake to witness Edmond grade school children reenact the state's 1889 Great Land Run. Other entertainment included the National Hall of Fame Square Dancers and the UCO Jazz Ensemble. The state's 4th and 5th Cavalry sounded the gun at noon to signal the land run. State dignitaries joined UCO President, George Nigh, in a unified groundbreaking where Gov. David Walters was asked to break ground in an unconventional manner. "The university has enough holes in the ground as it is," Nigh told Walters, and asked him to release 52 balloons instead of uncovering the earth. Nigh called this a "lift-off to the future" and explained that each balloon represented $1 million—the amount of construction to better the university. "This is something that happens very rarely," Walters told the crowd gathered at Thatcher Lake. "Normally we nickel and dime and take a bite and take a little incremental step and a little movement here and there," Walters said about fmancing capital improvements. "But when you have the ability to pull it all together and to show it off and encourage people and capture their spirit, that's something we ought to take advantage of, and we congratulate you for what you've done here." Nigh said the construction is for the students who attend UCO now. "We took a long-term program and squeezed it into a short-range program," he said. "So what you see today is that the students who are actually enrolled today will benefit on these programs that we broke ground on." The campus-wide construction is scheduled to be completed by August 1996. Projects slated to affect the most students include parking, the Max Chambers Library addition, the renovation to the library, the University Center expansion and renovation to the University Center. Construction began earlier this month on the second phase of the parking lots and is scheduled for completion during August. The addition to the library begins mid August and is scheduled to end June 1995. The Max Chambers library renovation is scheduled to begin during August 1995 and see completion in four months. Expansion to the University Center is slated to begin in October and be completed during January 1996. The center's renovation is scheduled to begin just after the expansion is finished and completed during August 1996.

Aggies, Eagles dump Bronchos By Scott Moore Sports Writer

Oral Roberts University and the Aggies of Cameron University found a way to cool off the hot bats of the Central Oklahoma baseball team, taking a combined three of four games from the Bronchos over the weekend in non-conference action. ORU handed the Bronchos their first shutout defeat of the year, blanking UCO 2-0 in Friday evening's nine--inning contest. Cameron then , split with the Bronchos in a Saturday doubleheader, edging UCO 5-4 in the first game and dropping the second 3-1. The Bronchos then stumbled again in Sunday's contest, losing 12-8. The Broncho's record dips to 31-12 on the year and despite the three losses, UCO remains atop of the Lone Star Conference standings with a 9-3 record. The usually high-scoring Bronchos averaged just 3.8 runs

per game during the four-game series, just over four runs below their season average of 8.4 The Bronchos committed 13 errors to their opponents, four during those four games, including six in Friday's loss to ORU. Senior Kaleb Schroeder (6-4) pitched a fiver-hitter against ORU, going eight innings, allowing one walk and 2 runs, both unearned. Freshman Greg Hall (6-2) went 6 1/3 innings in a losing effort against Cameron. in Saturday's first seven-inning game. Hall allowed 10 hits, allowed 5 runs (2 earned), walked one and struck out four. "I threw some bad pitches, and they got hits in some key situations," said Hall. "I just didn' t get the breaks today." Sophomore Brian Nichols (60) picked up the win in Saturday's second seven-inning contest, going the distance, allowing seven hits, one earned run, no walks, and striking out five. "I felt real comfortable today," said Nichols. "My fastball worked

real well. (Pitching coach Joe) Edelen had me throwing a lot of curves early on and that got my confidence up. Edelen started calling our pitches a couple of weeks ago, and he did a good job today." Junior Zac Robinson (1-1) pitched 3 1/3 innings in a losing effort in Sunday's seven-inning game, allowing seven hits, 10 runs (nine earned), three walks and striking out three. The Bronchos hit five home runs in that game, tying the single-season team record. UCO has 67 for the season. Six Bronchos have eight or more homers this season and six players with 30 or more RBI. Zac Robinson is UCO's leading hitter with a batting average of .435. David Flick tops the team in home runs with 13 this season and in RBI with 46. The Bronchos have four players who are batting .390 or above. UCO will host Lone Star Conference foe Eastern New Mexico for a doubleheader Friday and Saturday, both beginning at 1 p.m.

Lady Bronchos finish season with 2nd-place showing By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

Central Oklahoma's softball team went 4-2 in the Oklahoma City University Tournament to capture second place. The Lady Bronchos started the tournament with four straight wins including a 4-2 victory over Ranger Junior College in a game that doesn't count on UCO's record. Rachelle Green started the winning ways leading the Lady Bronchos on the mound. UCO defeated Northeastern State 5-1 behind Green before she led them to victory over Cameron 12-4 to post her eighth and ninth victories of the season. The Lady Bronchos then beat Texas Wesleyan 3-1 behind a strong performance by freshman pitcher Kristi Kimbrell who improved her record to 11-4.

UCO then dropped a game to Oklahoma Baptist 3-5 and one to Oklahoma City 1-5 to end the tournament in second place. All-American April Bradley continues to make UCO history as she moved into first place in three single-season categories. Bradley is first in runs scored (42), home runs (six) and RBI (37). Junior outfielder Stephanie Cook is also putting her name in the books, ranking second in four career categories and two singleseason categories. The Lady Bronchos performance at the OCU Tournament assured the team ofjust the second 30-win seson in school history. The Lady Bronchos, who were ranked fifth in the Midwest Region last week will now wait to find out if they made the 24-team national tournament. The top four teams in each region will advance to the tournament on May 13-14. Each team will receive their bids on May 9.

Experts say not to apologize . for size of school attended Jennifer Palmer

Staff Writer

Not everyone can go to an IvyLeague school, and there's no reason to apologize for it when being interviewed for a job. At least that is the advice given by The Wall Street Journal in its college edition of the National

Business Employment Weekly. When attending a "non-IvyLeague size" college (like the University of Central Oklahoma), one should never apologize for the size of the campus, programs or departments, said Mary Anne van Arsdale for the National Business Employment Weekly (NBEW). "Maybe you don' t realize that you're apologizing for your school

or for choosing to go there. Typically, such statements occur after an interviewer leans back in his chair and says, 'Tell me about yourself.' Students often respond by naming their school and majors," said Arsdale. "But those who are insecure about their colleges may then say, went there because.: or didn't have the grades to get into...' I wasn't sure what I wanted when I enrolled so...' " Arsdale said. Without being aware of it, the negative comments job applicants give about their schools can teach a lot to a potential employer. "For instance, how loyal will you be to an employer if you aren' t loyal to your alma mater?" said Arsdale. Arsdale also recommends not apologize to interviewers if they

have never heard of the alma mater. Think of positive things about the school before entering the interview. "You are more than a package and a sales pitch...When you make excuses for your school, its lack of reputation or size, you're asking the interviewer to believe that a poor manufacturer (your school) produced an exceptional, namebrand product," said Arsdale. Job applicants should speak positively about their college. Many times, Arsdale said, they do notrealize j ust how important their alma mater was, or how much they learned, until they get the job. "Your education is the most solid evidence an employer has of your 'product worth.' Indeed, you never would have landed the interview without your degree."

College question tips The Wall Street Journal National Business Employment Weekly college edition (Spring/Summer 1994 issue) gives these suggestions for preparing for questions about your alma mater on a job interview: ♦ Make a list of the best teachers, courses and projects you had in college. Know why those people and experiences were valuable to you and your future. ♦ Research the professional credentials of the professor who influenced you most so you can talk knowingly about him or her during an interview.

vir Prepare to describe in detail a course or extracurricular project that demonstrates the value of your college education. V Research your college's history and accolades. It may seem late to be reading admissions catalogs, asking questions about the school's placement success and identifying famous alumni, but many students never fully appreciate their college's history and unique programs until after graduation. V. Use every opportunity to talk positively about your college, course work and extracurricular activities with friends and family. It's your job to educate interviewers who don't know about your school.

Specialist gives tips on resumes, interviews, dress By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer Many graduates will begin the task of searching for employment following the gala of their graduation ceremonies. University of Central Oklahoma's Career Development and Placement Services Specialist Carrol McAllister has provided some suggestions for finding an occupation, writing a resume and preparing for interviews to help former students with the task. "Some students, when they graduate, have a major and they don' t know what careers it relates to," said McAllister. The UCO Career Services and Placement Office can assist students in selecting a career through the use of DISCOVER, a computer program that creates a list of possible careers related to a particular major, said McAllister. A student can "plug in" his major and get a list of possible careers which relate to that major. From the list of careers, the student can examine occupations and get updated information concerning salary levels and demand for persons in the field on both the state and national levels, said McAllister. From that information, names of companies and "contacts" within them may be obtained, said McAllister. The information provided from the listings can be useful during the preparation of a resume as far as objectives and job experiences are concerned, said McAllister. "There are no right or wrong ways to prepare a resume," said McAllister. "Resume writing is very subjective, it depends on the person who is reading it." Resumes containing typographical errors or resumes that are not sent to the proper contact person are often eliminated by prospective employers, said McAllister.

Marketing oneself for jobs takes planning By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer

tive ways to get a job as: VApply directly to an employer V Ask friends for job leads

"Sometimes people have very unrealistic expectations for finding a job. They think 'I'm going to march across that stage and have five job offers, I'll just have to pick which one,' " said Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director of Career Development and Placement Offices at the University of Central Oklahoma. "No, no, it is hard work. The average job search is six months. It can get harrowing after a while," said Greenlee. "How you dress, what you wear and are you well groomed are all important things," said Greenlee. Whether students are just dropping off their resume hoping the company has something, or if they are there for the actual interview, job seekers need to look nice, said Greenlee. Students need to spend some money on appropriate and professional dress. "Make that same investment in your appearance as you have in your education for the past four years. You don't want to blow it for lack of a pair of shiny shoes," said Greenlee. "You have to learn to network. Networking is the key to marketing yourself," said Greenlee. Networking involves meeting people within your field of study, making contacts and following up on those contacts. Students need to tell everyone they know that they are looking for a job, said Greenlee. The book "What Color is Your Parachute" by Richard Nelson Bolles gives the four most effec-

V Ask relatives for job leads V Use your school' s placement office "Opening your mouth and telling people 'I'm looking.' That is pretty easy to do, but you have to do it," said Greenlee. "You have to tell everyone you know that you are looking, and you need to follow up on any leads or contacts that come from that," said Greenlee. "Another thing about marketing yourself," said Greenlee, "if you have never been an outgoing person before and have some hesitations about your communication skills, now is the time to get over that." "We are trying to market ourselves, which means you have to not be shy and hope that somebody notices you," said Greenlee. "You are going to have to be doing things like making those leads, making those contacts, calling up people, trying to get a foot in the door," said Greenlee. Going up and shaking people's hands and looking them in the eye takes a certain lack of inhibition and confidence, said Greenlee. "You have to approach people," she added. "Get over your fears. We all have fears of public speaking and maybe some social phobias," said Greenlee. "You have got to get over that to market yourself effectively."

The wonderful world of rules, gossip dating. I guess you could use interoffice memos to get the latest from Susie, the secretary who knows everything before it happens. Then there is always E-mail. But, the E-mail can be saved and monitored by the boss if he suspects you of inter-office fraternization. This also puts a damper on that great idea to use inter-office memos for gossiping. Speaking of personal, there is also no dating of co-workers. "Social life should remain out-

Scene, Costume Shop plays its part, too By Dayna Poarch and Joyce Kirtley Staff Writers Rarely are ovations given to the hum of a sewing machine or the buzz of a saw, or the talent behind these tools necessary for a theater production to be a success. But thanks to the University of Central Oklahoma Scene and Costume Shops—who often work up until an hour before the show opens—the behinC-tlpHscenes details are carried oaf like that of a professional production. Robert Pittenridge, costume designer, and Kate Dickerson, seamstress, work together to create costumes, often working on outfits for back-to-back productions. "You have to wait until the show is cast, until you have production meetings and the directors know what they want," Pittenridge said. Pittenridge said that he spends about one week designing the costumes. "First I meet with the director. I find out from her what she wants," Pittenridge said. He said he sketches the costumes and then shops for all the fabric. Once this is completed, they have about three weeks to build the costumes.

Pittenridge has been in the costume design business for 11 years but has worked professionally since 1988. "The thing that's interesting about it, the actual silhouette of the period, the shape of the clothes. the way the garments are constructed, are easier say than a Victorian show," Pittenridge said, referring to the play "Hamlet." "On this show we're hand painting all the trim." Pittenridge said. "So that's taking a lot of the time. And also, there's a lot of craft work with belts and crowns and broaches and things like that." In "Hamlet," 90 percent of the costumes were made rather than rented. The Costume Shop employs about five people full time, but cast members and other theater majors also work on the projects, he said. Dickerson, a UCO student who also works with Pittenridge on Shakespeare in the Park, used to appear in campus productions, but after getting married, she concentrated On her duties at the Costume Shop. "When you're in the theater, you have to be married to it," Dickerson said. "You have to devote all your time to it, and I got tired of doing that." Other people behind the scenes who rarely hear the applause are

the ones responsible for the elaborate sets. From a simple flight of stairs to a tall tower, Scene Shop workers transform a pile of lumber into a completed set in only two to four weeks. Doug Getzoff, scene designer and technician and associate professor of oral communications, said the process su-trts with the approval of the set design by the director. Getzoff, a small staff and varying numbers of students contribute to the construction of the sets, but he is responsible for the set designs on a majority of UCO productions. The scenery is built and painted in the Scene Shop then moved to Mitchell Hall in preparation for opening night, Getzoff said. "Every day poses new challenges," he said. "Whether it's scenery I've designed that I've never built before or students who haven't done this before." Whether on stage or behind the scenes, every part creates the final product. "It's a team effort, and it takes everyone cooperating to get a show On stage. It's not just the actors up there, it's people building the sets, doing the costumes, doing the props and running the shows behind the scenes every time," said Dickerson.
