t has come to light that some professors are making enormous amounts of money— just under $100,000, said Dr. Roberta Sloan, Faculty Senate president, in a recent Faculty Senate meeting.

In response, a committee still in its early stages, will look into faculty overload compensation, said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs.

Faculty members receive overload compensation for classes taught in addition to their regular classroom hours.

The committee's charge is to develop a policy on faculty overload compensation, then give their recommendation to Jacob who will then submit the policy to the university president for final review.

The committee consists of Sloan, Dr. Albert Lynd, associate vice president of academic Members of local band Bagworm performed at the University Center Friday night.

KMAZA, NPs

federal judge ruled Friday that the Food and Drug Administration can regulate tobacco as a drug. This ruling will uphold the laws already in place restricting tobacco sales to children.

It's a step in the right direction.

After decades of knowing the health risks associated with smoking, our government has finally overcome the power of the billion-dollar-a-year tobacco industry and taken a stand.

Some may argue that it's their body and their choice, but it's more than that.

All of us pay the costs of smoking in tax dollars spent on the treatment of smoking-related illnesses.

Estimates from the state Attorney General's office show taxpayer costs totalled $810 million in Oklahoma from 1980 to 1993 alone.

Regulation of tobacco may deter future smokers and lower this cost for smokers and non-smokers alike.

It may be government intruding in our personal habits but isn't that better than them intruding into our pocketbooks.

nyone who has walked around the UCO campus lately must surely have noticed the striking architectural designs incorporated into some of the recently completed buildings. As I am no architect, it would not be proper for me to judge on the merits of the unusual construction schemes involved.

However, I feel that I must ask this question: Has anyone besides me noticed that there are pieces missing from all of the fluted columns that adorn the buildings? I have puzzled greatly over this situation, but I have failed to determine just what is going on. Straightaway I ruled out the possibility that the missing pieces were just part of the design. I decided that no one in their "right mind" would fashion something like that on purpose.

Then I began to wonder if perhaps poor construction was involved, and that the pieces just fell off. I then surmised that if this was the case, someone surely would have tried to "stick um" back up there and at least attempt a repair job. And if they just fell off, then where did they go and how did someone keep from getting injured when they fell? If the problem is poor construction, then maybe we should worry a little bit about the safety and stability of the other parts of the buildings.

Certainly those missing pieces were a necessary part of the column's structural integrity and it seems mandatory that they be repaired.

If the situation was not caused by poor construction, then what other possibilities should we consider? As unpleasant as it is, we must look at the likelihood of criminal sabotage or some other form of crime being involved. Could the inmates at one of the other state institutions of higher learning be responsible for defacing our columns? The students at OU or OSU certainly must be jealous of our splendid campus architecture and perhaps it was they who "trashed" the structures.

This seems like the perfect opportunity for the student police force on campus to try their hand at real problem solving. We would all like to see the "Broncho Youth" test their mettle against the "seamy" underworld of column crime.

Since there is no evidence of wanton destruction lying around the bases of the columns, then it is obvious that the pieces were stolen, and this was accomplished by some very sophisticated criminals. Clearly the pieces never hit the ground; but then how were they pirated? The only possible answer is that the crooks used some sort of new "anti-gravity" device to levitate the pieces while they were loaded on a "lighter than air" get-away vehicle. There must be a lucrative illegal market in column pieces for someone to go to all of that trouble to steal them.

We could be exhibiting some abnormal pilfering paranoia here, and maybe there is another answer to the mystery. It appears that the columns are replicas of the Corinthian style columns of ancient Greece. I understand that the columns on the north side of the library cost thousands of dollars each.

If this is the case, then perhaps they are real antique columns from ancient Greece, and not replicas at all. Aside from the missing pieces, the columns look practically new. This is curious since they may have been lying out in the weather for a couple thousand years.

Wait a minute! Maybe they are new, and somebody in their "left mind" actually designed them with the pieces missing. But then again, there must be something more going on here than merely "design dereliction," and perhaps there is a column conspiracy afoot which reaches all the way into the higher echelons of the educational "powers that be," or down to the lower echelons of the common crime.

Archer said.

UCOSA also plans to increase their publicity by informing students about what the association does for them and the school, said Archer.

"We're all about changing things that aren't working, including policy changes," he said.

Budget hearings were held last week as part of the first budget revision in five years, Archer said.

"UCOSA is pushing to change how the budget is managed, wanting to let each organization have the influence on how their money is appropriated," Archer said.

UCOSA would also like to have a greater influence on how money is appropriated by the student activity fee, he said. He said he believes in changes because they are the key to improvement.

Faculty Senate officer elections bring little change

here will be few new faces on the Faculty Senate executive board in the upcoming school year after elections at their April 24 meeting.

Dr. Roberta Sloan, associate professor of theater arts, will keep her title as president of the organization.

Broncho mascot scholarship awarded to freshman The only person who showed up for UCO mascot tryouts was Cindi Wells. That made the decision easy for Shawn Williams, cheerleader sponsor.

Wells will wear the Buddy Broncho costume next year at the home football and basketball games.

Wells, a freshman biology major, said she is a big football fan and she wanted to be Buddy Broncho to see the crowd's reaction to her and get them to have more fun. She wants to be an "ambassador for UCO" and get people involved in the games.

Wells will be awarded a $200 to $250 scholarship for the fall, spring and summer semesters.

All UCO fans can expect to see Wells as Buddy at the first home football game, Sept. 6, 1997.

—By Roxanna Stokes Student Writer

Others elected by acclamation to keep their title are: Vice President Dr. Jere W. Roberson, professor of history and geography; and Reporter/Historian Dr. Anne E. Gleason, assistant professor of finance.

Dr. Gayle A. Kearns, assistant professor of education, was elected by acclamation to replace Dr. James W. Mock, assistant professor of

humanities and philosophy, as Faculty Senate secretary.

Sloan said she would like to have a representative from each college on the executive board next year. In order to do so, she hopes to appoint someone from the College of Math and Science as parliamentarian.

Her recommendation must be approved by the senate at their meeting in August.

Parking services implements changes; Permit costs increase 60 percent

By Marta Swain Sereno Student Writer

U

CO parking services has some good news and bad news for students who will drive to campus next fall.

The good news is the `Oops, I forgot to hang my permit!' program. The bad news is the price to park your car on campus is going up.

The `Oops! I forgot to hang my permit!" program will benefit valid parking permit holders who receive a citation for not displaying the permit in their vehicle.

Instead of paying a fine for the offense, a form will be filled out and the first ticket will be canceled, said Greg Tunnell, manager of parking services.

"It's a one-time freebie for our staff, faculty and students," said Tunnell.

Students buying parking permits will Students also now have more options see a price increase starting in August. when buying a permit.

Parking services employs 10 to 12

student officers to issue parking citations.

They give around 200 tickets daily.

Not having a parking permit displayed is the most common citation issued and it brings a $10 fine.

Parking fines and fees go back to the university for use in bond payment on the building projects and to maintain the parking lots, said Tunnell.

Parking services will send a warning letter if a vehicle has five unpaid citations. If there is no response to the letter the vehicle can be impounded.

"I don't want to impound vehicles," said Tunnell.

"Come in and talk to us. We try and work with everybody."

To impound a vehicle the parking services must, by state law, call an independent towing company.

The cost to retrieve a car from impound rims around $70, said Tunnell.

Male counselors are greatly needed because the majority of youths with muscular dystrophy are boys, said Anderson. MDA also needs donations of arts and craft supplies, prizes, sporting equipment and the use of a golf cart for

their summer camp.

The summer camps are part of the MDA's patient and community services funded almost entirely by private contributions. Anyone who is interested in volunteering will be personally interviewed, she said.

t 37, Alabama native Rick Bragg has spent more than half his life writing for newspapers. Yet after 20 years experience, a fellowship at Harvard and a Pulitzer Prize, the New York Times writer still tells people he's "just lucky."

Luck might have something to do with it—he's been at the right place at the right time more than once. But luck alone won't get you to the Times. And it certainly won't sustain a career as demanding and competitive as newspaper journalism Ask Bragg what makes his writing so special and he's likely to give you an "awe shucks" kind of answer.

word transforms him into a revival-tent tale-spinner preaching the gospel of good storytelling.

Bragg shared some of that passion with UCO students this month as a guest lecturer of the journalism department.

Born into a family of story-tellers, Bragg spent much of his childhood "soaking up" drama-rich tales told by his relatives on the front porch of his Alabama home. He says stories about everyday life—from babies being born, to funerals—gave him an appreciation for details.

"Every story is like a coloring book," he said. "If you color in all the lines you have a better picture."

His ability to "show" through his writing rather than "tell," has earned Bragg more than 30 national, regional and state writing awards including the American Society of Newspaper

With limited writing experience from his high school and college newspapers, Bragg's first job at a "real" newspaper came when the sports columnist at a local weekly paper quit.

than the one before and his writing standards improved accordingly.

At 32, Bragg received a Nieman fellowship at Harvard which he said afforded him the "academic jelly" he'd missed by dropping out of college.

Offers soon followed from major newspapers across the country. He joined The New York Times in 1994 and is

currently their domestic correspondent based in Atlanta.

Though he works for a New York newspaper, Bragg's unassuming personality is closer to that of a southern gentleman than a hard-nosed reporter.

Writing assignments have taken him as far away as Haiti, but he writes often about people in the South.

He said his writing style lies somewhere between violence and sensitivity and his writing voice is reflective of fellow southerners like William Faulkner and Hank Williams.

Between his job and the writing workshops and lectures he presents, Bragg says there is little time to do much else.

But he seems to always make time to write.

He recently completed a book about his life. It's All Over But The Shouting is due out in September.

"It's about my life," he said.

"But I hate to call it my memoirs...George Bush writes memoirs, I don't."

House Bill 2102 proposes tax-free tuition accounts

By Rebecca Rutledge

Student Writer

A

tax-free tuition savings plan designed to make college degrees more affordable for Oklahoma students was endorsed recently by the state House of Representatives.

House Bill 2102 by Rep. Laura Boyd, D-Norman, would allow up to $5,000 per year to be saved tax-free toward the college tuition of any student who plans to attend an Oklahoma college or university.

"Many Oklahoma families need financial help to cope with the rising cost of tuition," said Boyd, a member of the House Appropriations and Budget Subcommittee on Education. "My program would help students who do not qualify for financial aid, and students who must borrow money to be able to afford college."

She said the Tuition Savings Account Program would provide Oklahomans not only with an alternative means to save money for college, but also with a tax incentive to do so.

HB 2102 should come to a vote in the Senate sometime in May, Boyd said.

If it passes, it will allow participants to open tuition savings accounts beginning in 1998.

The bill provides that the money invested in such an account would be controlled by an account custodian.

Account custodians approved by the proposed law would be any state-chartered bank, savings and loan, national bank or trust company.

The account custodian would dispense the funds for tuition and approved expenses such as books and room and board.

They would also keep records of contributions and expenditures.

Many states have savings or pre-paid tuition plans to help with future college costs, said Boyd, who is also an adjunct

April 29, 1997

THEVISTA

professor at the University of Oklahoma.

However, many of those plans obligate the state to anticipate needing a classroom slot for a student who subsequently may be academically ineligible to attend a college or university, she said.

HB 2102 provides that when this happens, the money from the tuition savings account would be returned to the beneficiary or the person who established the account. The money would then become taxable income.

Tuition savings account funds

would also be returned if the student decided not to attend a college or university in Oklahoma, if the student was not accepted to the institution to which he or she applied, or if the student died.

HB 2102 provides that more than one person could contribute to a student's tuition savings account, as long as the contributions do not exceed $5,000 annually.

Any money left in an account after the student earns a degree would be given to the student after his or her 30th birthday. OD

"Graduation is the moment students become alumni and we want to be there to welcome them," said Stacy McNeiland, coordinator of special events and fundraising for the Alumni Association.

Alumni Association members will answer questions and provide information for the new graduates, said McNeiland.

With the expansion of the University Center the new location has nearly 8,500 square feet of retail space.

The space increase has allowed for the consolidation of all bookstore departments that were previously separated.

The textbook department generates the greatest revenue for the store, but has one of the lowest markup percentages.

The textbook markup at UCO is 23 percent.

That is lower than the national average

of 28 percent, said Arthur Robinson, during book buy back and rush weeks.

Efforts to omit required subscription fee fails at OSU

By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer

F

reedom of the press doesn't translate to freedom of subscription at some universities. Oklahoma State University students will continue to pay a mandatory fee to receive their campus newspaper.

A campus bill that would have eliminated a mandatory $2 subscription fee to the OSU newspaper, The O'Collegian, was rejected, 4-26, by OSU's Student Government Association April 16.

Jack Lancaster, advisor for The O'Collegian, said the underlying issue here is content.

Editors at The O'Collegian said the proposal was retaliation for coverage of the OSU Student Government Association on the editorial page.

But sponsors of the bill said it would have simply been a way to cut costs.

"We provide the best coverage of this campus," said Lancaster.

"We feel that they're getting a good bargain."

Bryan Reniker, student senate chairman at OSU, said he doesn't think

the paper should be shut down, he just thinks the fee should be optional.

The O'Collegian collects $70,000 in student fees per year. This makes up about 13 percent of the newspaper's budget, said Lancaster.

The remaining 87 percent is obtained from advertising sales.

Published five days a week, The O'Collegian has a staff of 40 reporters, 12 advertising salesmen and eight editors, said Lancaster.

There are approximately 18,000 students at OSU, and 10,500 papers printed per publication, he said.

Reception planned for business graduates The College of Business Administration will give graduating students the chance to say goodbye to their professors at a reception in the new atrium of the Buisness Building May 10.

The reception, sponsored by the College of Business Administration and the UCO Foundation, will be held from 8 to 9 a.m.

Family and friends of both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to attend the reception, which precedes the graduation

OSU's student body and production run are larger than UCO's with 14,000 students and 5,000 papers.

The Vista had $75,000 from student activity fees last year, which made up 72 percent of the entire budget, and the other 28 percent was ad revenue.

"The Vista is one of the few organizations that does something for every student," said Sean Ridenour, student association vice president.

"Too many organizations serve only special interests."

The Vista employes 10 reporters, five editors and three advertising salesmen.

ceremony scheduled for 10 a.m. in Hamilton Field House.

The purpose of the reception is "to honor graduates," said assistant dean Paula Smith.

This is the first time in recent history the College of Business Administration has given a graduation reception, Smith said.

Internet provides students with scholarship, loan information

S

tudents seeking loans and scholarships can now go on-line to locate information and important knowledge before beginning the application process.

"We know that students are accessing the Internet now more than ever in their searches for information," said Lydia Marshall, executive vice president, for Sallie Mae. "That's why we encourage students to spend a little time on the Internet before choosing which bank or credit union to lend them funds for college.

"AB the loans look the same when you take them out, but when it comes time for repayment, there are different cost-saving options to choose from," said Marshall.

Sallie Mae is a lending institution that banks sell student loans to so students can consolidate their loans into one payment to one financial institution.

Marshall recommends accessing some of the Internet search engines and directories to narrow down the options. Search engines and directories such as Yahoo, Alta Vista, HotBot, Excite, and WebCrawler all provide a number of links to web sites that have information about financial aid and student loans.

Some of the most common key words to use to find this information include student loan, college loan, education loan, and paying for college.

Students who are interested in gathering information about scholarships and how to avoid scholarship scams should log-on to the Federal Trade Commission's Web site, www.ftc.gov .

This web site offers students six important tips for ensuring scholarship search services and offers are authentic, said Marshall.

For more information on financial aid and acquiring student loans, log-on to Sallie Mae's Internet site, www.salliemae.com or call College Answer at 1-800-891-4599.

Discussions ease transition for international students

By Akiko Fujita

Student Writer Counseling is available to the international students who are adjusting to cultural differences and want more information about their new area.

The hour-long information group for those students, led by UCO community counseling advanced student Toppie Lincicome, starts at 4:30 p.m. every Thursday in the Osage Room of the University Center.

"I want international students, especially those who are new here to know what different things they can do and places they can go," said Lincicome.

Group discussion is the main topic of this meeting. Students are free to discuss their experiences and problems they have had since coming to the U.S., he said.

"Two years ago, I recognized the need for international students who are trying to adjust to living in the different country.

So I want to make it a more educational group so that we can talk about customs and differences between us," said Lincicome.

The meeting is reserved for group concerns and discussion, but Lincicome said he makes himself available to individual concerns by appointments.

Lincicome has experience teaching English as a second language, which helped him understand what kind of problems international students face, he said.

Any students interested in participating should come to the Osage Room at 4:30 p.m.

Thursday, or call the UCO Counseling Center at 341-2980, Ext. 2215.

Take our daughters to work: Special day designed to instill "can-do" attitude

S

ome UCO faculty and staff joined an estimated 17 million Americans who participated in the fifth annual "Take Our Daughters To Work Day" Thursday.

Sponsored by the Ms. Foundation, the event was intended to help girls maintain confidence and resilience during "at risk" adolescent years by promoting education and fostering mentorships.

According to the Ms. Foundation, research conducted by Harvard University and others shows adolescent girls tend to receive less attention, have fewer youth-serving programs and suffer from lower expectations than do boys of their age.

They also tend to like or dislike themselves based on their physical appearance.

Dr. Susan Waller, associate professor of sociology and president of the UCO Women's Caucus, said girls observing women in the workplace not only increases their respect for women, Six-year-old Bailey participates in "Take Our Daughters but also helps foster a "can-do" To Work Day" while her grandmother, Peggy Foster talks attitude. on the phone in her office.

Drive to benefit job seekers Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is holding a clothing drive for a local non-profit organization this week in the Business Building and the University Center.

All donated clothing must be clean, pressed and on hangers, said Sarah Skaggs, SIFE member. Donations are tax deductible.

The clothing will go to Suited for Success, a non-profit organization designed to provide men and women who do not have professional clothing with two business suits and job search training.

Suited for Success needs business suits, especially largesize dresses and accessories, said Skaggs.

An empty clothing rack will be oustide the Business Auditorium in the Business Building and at the east entrance of the University Center.

A sign-up sheet will be on a nearby table for those who want a receipt for tax deductions, said Skaggs.

to see real-life mothers engaging competently and effectively in real-life situations," said Waller.

She said sons see that their dads have a certain amount of power and influence, and they have a lot of opportunity to model their fathers both from first-hand observation and through seeing fathers on television.

Peggy Foster, director of student support services, brought her 6-year-old granddaughter, Bailey, to work with her for part of the day since her mother doesn't work outside the home.

"I thought it would be a fun time for her to come up and get a feel and see other ladies in different types of careers and positions," said Foster.

Bailey was dressed up for work, complete with bow in hair and uncomfortable new shoes. They were dangling from the chair while she said playing on the computer and answering the telephones looked like fun, but she wants to be a singer when she gets bigger.

Mason recently wed Dr. Linda Norton, director of continuing education.

Jane said she had been to watch proceedings in Mason's courtroom before and was surprised to see he didn't use a gavel.

She said it was different from what she saw on television because "it was really boring."

Norton said her daughter has accompanied her to work many times in the past while she taught class.

"She's sat through more college classes than most college students," Norton said.

As a part of the event, Norton has her daughter interview people she comes in contact with during the day.

She said it's important "so that the kids can be focused and learn about the things they are seeing."

As part of the report she asks what advice the grown-ups would give young people. "Stay in school" was the overwhelming answer.

Safety factors considered in campus landscaping Ongoing campus-wide landscaping involves more than aesthetics; safety is also playing a big role.

Landscaping architects are eliminating foliage that could hide an assailant.

"All the new landscaping will be such that tree canopies are raised high enough to see underneath them, and any low shrubbery are close enough to the ground to where a person cannot hide in it," said Scott Howard, president of Howard Site Design, Inc. "Our goal is to create a more visible, safe campus. We're removing any existing hedges that could possibly hide people," Howard said. "That's part of the university's safety policy, and we agree. By eliminating any mid-level planting, there will be less areas that conceal people."

The Oklahoma City-based Howard Site Design, Inc. has completed jobs such as park improvement for the City of Oklahoma City and courtyard renovations for Lucent Technologies.

They might rather be sitting in the cool indoors by their telephone. Grades will no longer be mailed, but students can listen, view or print end of semester grades by one of the following four methods: •The voice response grade reporting system will allow students to hear semester grades, course by course, by dialing 1-800-599-2144.

Grades will be available by this method on May 16, and the recording will identify semester and overall GPA, academic status, including news of probation, suspension and honors received.

The call lasts about two and a half minutes including a 60 second advertisement.

In fall 1996, about 8,000 students called the voice response grade reporting system, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of enrollment management, in a March interview.

•On May 15, students can print their entire transcript, including the latest grades, at the transcript printing kiosk located in each wing of the Administration Building.

•A new service added this semester will allow students to use any of the information terminals in the Administration Building to view their grades by May 15.

•On May 16, students can also access grades on the Internet through www.getgrades.com .

This new service was added in mid–December and was used by more than 1,000 students, said Legere.

If students need a printed copy of semester grades, they may request a copy from the Service Counter in the Academic Records Office. In the future, students will have print capability from the information terminals on campus.

In all cases, students will need to know their social security number and personal identification number (PIN). A student's PIN number is the six digits in their birthday, unless changed to a more personal number at the terminals in the Administration Building.

First phase of four-part project completed

By Scott Vanderpool Student Writer

P

I of UCO's four-part landscaping 1 project was recently completed.

Phase I included the planting of 475 shade trees, ornamental trees, and pine trees throughout the university.

Eight "pocket parks" and a Residents' Park with two basketball courts and a sand volleyball area also was created under Phase I. Phase II includes a seating area by Broncho Lake, outside seating areas by the food court, seating on the outside area above the food court, landscaping throughout UCO's Heartland Plaza and around Old North.

Phase II is scheduled for completion by the beginning of the fall semester, said Scott Howard, president of Howard Site Design, Inc., the company overseeing the landscape projects.

A semi-circular brick wall adorned with the logo of Old North Tower, to be located off Second Street between the north and south lanes of Garland Godfrey Drive, is in the design plans for

Phase 111, said Howard.

"The Old North symbol is such a strong icon for campus," Howard said.

"This will be a highly-visible, landmark-type element. Many universities have these elements— something you can really identify the university by."

Phase III includes landscaping around additional buildings, an underground irrigation system and additional pocket parks.

A fourth phase is planned to include a recreational trail system through UCO. In conjunction with the City of Edmond and Oklahoma Department of Transportation, the walking, cycling and inline skating trail will enter the campus from the west side and exit on the south at Garland Godfrey and Second Street.

The trail will eventually end at Arcadia Lake.

In July 1996, the landscaping company met with students, faculty and staff for their input to determine the best plans to unify the entire campus, said Howard.
