The movement to allow firearms on campus is still alive and well, despite a statement to the contrary from former UCOSA President John Bobb-Semple in a recent Vista article. "I'm ... very proud to say we defeated the guns on campus bill," Bobb-Semple said. "It's never going to come back. It's dead. Senate Bill um would have allowed CLEET certified people or state law enforcement employees to carry a firearm on campus, according to a recent Vista article. Both SB 1101 and a UCOSA Senate test bill both failed to pass in their respective legislatures this year. State Rep. Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, said the firearms on campus bill has been reworked in House Bill 1083 - an amendment bill not yet heard in the Oklahoma legislature. Murphey said HB 1083 is "still a live round" in the state House and will be heard in February 2010. The House introduced a measure similar to HB 1083, HB 2513, in its last session, but that bill was defeated. The new measure, authored by Murphey, has further refined the certifications for who

could legally carry a concealed handgun on campus. "[HB 1083] would say if you're a teacher ... or if you carry a weapon as part of your occupation ... and you have a concealed carry license, then you can continue to carry on campus," Murphey said. Bobb-Semple said he feels the collective student voice already spoke strongly as to whether weapons should be allowed in its classrooms and dorm halls. "There was very much the opportunity for students to decide," Bobb-Semple said. "I made sure campus discussion was facilitated. I didn't hide how I felt about it from the onset." , Dave Jenkins, UCOSA Senator and founder of UCO Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, said there are still students at UCO who want to see some form of a conceal and carry on campus law. "A small group of friends and I were actually lobbying these past few months for [SB nor] before it died in committee," Jenkins explained. Jenkins said USCCC plans to talk with members of the Oklahoma House Public Safety Committee about supporting HB 1083 before it comes to a vote in 2010. "We'll definitely be back, lobbying for [HB 1083]," Jenkins said. Murphey emphasized the importance of allowing certified personnel to carry handguns on campus. "There's only one ... significant area where a criminal can go and commit crimes and not have to worry about ... people being able to defend themselves." Murphey said. "That's a university campus." Murphey said HB 1083 would act as a preventative measure against on-campus gun crimes. "It will put doubt in criminals' minds ... that maybe they shouldn't do that on an Oklahoma campus, Murphey emphasized. "Because there are going to be more people carrying weapons on that campus than just law enforcement." Oklahoma government rules state bills voted down in one legislative session can be brought back for reconsideration in the next session, Jenkins said. Jenkins then said he thinks SB rioi will most likely follow this procedure and be brought back for consideration in the coming session, 2011. tment of Public Safety generally Jenkins said education administrators and the Depai oppose firearms on campus proposals, but many law enforcement officials and military personnel are in favor the idea. Jenkins then said he feels many people oppose conceal and carry on campus laws because they have only heard or thought about it in a negative way. "I think it definitely has been demonized," Jenkins said. "A lot of people hear the word `guns' and see Hollywood shootouts and Rambo ... so, they just have that emotional reaction. They never actually look at the issue."

Faculty Senate approves tuition increases

Last chance for Broncho 'stimulus'

Joe Lopez Special o the [7:,/,

Last Thursday, the UCO Faculty Senate approved legislation to raise tuition rates on the student body to cover future faculty travel expenses. The original legislation authored by Dr. Luis Montes, College of Math and Science, would increase student tuition fees by 4.5%, or about $165 a year for full time students. Dr. William Radke, Provost and Vice President Academic Affairs is in favor of this measure. University statistics show that a majority of students at UCO are enrolled in ri credit hours, with fees collected applied to different aspects of the University, of which is Faculty Research and Development. Currently $850 dollars is allotted to tenured faculty members per year, and is subject to change per the colleges they are associated with. "This will not go to fatten up our vacation budge, but to adjust for fixed costs and other expenses," Dr. James Mock, College of Liberal Arts said. During deliberation, faculty senators questioned the language of the bill covering tuition increases and the justification for such increases. Separate legislation was requested to address' potential discrimination between tenured and non-tenured professors regarding travel funds. The request was denied while amendments making the bill more "equitable" for non-tenured professors were accepted. Outgoing UCOSA President John Stephen Bobb-Semple was present to represent

the student body and cautioned members Caleb McWilliams not to send the wrong message to students. and Kory Oswald "My greatest concern is based upon qualsofâ&#x20AC;˘ii eifees ity of education," Bobb-Semple said.

"Our headcount numbers have pretty much stayed even...but what we're seeing is that students are taking less hours," he said.

This last Sunday, the Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity hosted their 13th annual Volleyball Tournament to raise money for house renovations and a local charity. The tournament was held at the Sig Tau chapter house from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. There were approximately 15 teams that participated in the tournament. With these teams' involvement, Sig Tau was able to raise money for

needed house repairs and renovations. All left over benefits went to the Make A Wish Foundation of Oklahoma City. The fraternity was able to correspond with sponsors such as Quedoba, Outback Steakhouse, Bryant Place, Personal Touch Monogram, KBLP Radio and Sonic-Drive In. Through these sponsorships the fraternity was able to raise around $1,500. Sig Tau plans to use a portion of the money raised in order to renovate their house this summer. They plan on adding six more rooms to the fraternity house. They expect to soon house up to 15 additional members.

"This year was the most successful tournament we have had in five years," Tylar Claypool, Sig Tau Fundraising Chair, said. "I loved how the membership pulled together to help make this event so successful." At the event, the fraternity hosted an open house with food, drinks and music. Other local Greeks were also there to show their support. "We were also able to raise over 45 books in contribution to our philanthropy, Books For Kids," Claypool said. "This year's tournament was a lot of fun and we can't wait for next year."

Economics professor wins national family policy award Sue Lynn Sasser, Ph.D., executive director of Oklahoma Council on Economic Education and associate professor of economics in the University of Central Oklahoma College of Business Administration, was named the 2009 recipient of the Friend of the Family Award from the American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences. The award honors an individual who influences public policy that positively affects families. Sasser was nominated for her work creating policy that mandates personal finance education in public schools in Oklahoma, a policy that became reality last year. She now co-chairs the implementation program, focusing her efforts on teacher training. Past winners of the annual award include elected officials, philanthropists, educators and entertainers including Senator John D. Rockefeller IV and Sharon Percy Rockefeller, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Bill Cosby and Rob Reiner. "This is an amazing honor, not just for me but for our entire team," said Sasser.

"Impacting legislation requires a tremendous amount of time, cooperation and commitment from a variety of sources. We're pleased that Oklahoma stepped up to the plate before the current economic crisis to realize the importance of ensuring our kids graduate from high school with some understanding of how to take responsibility for their financial futures." The Oklahoma Council on Economic Education (OCEE) at UCO is a non-profit, non-political, non-partisan, educational organization that promotes economic and personal financial literacy for all Oklahomans. Sasser was born in Lawton, Okla. She is an alumna of UCO for both her bachelor's and master's degrees. Along with her duties as associate professor of economics and executive director of the OCEE, she is immediate past president of the National Association of Economic Educators.

Speaker explains Nazi euthanasia, beginnings of eugenics Caleb McWilliams Stqff Writer

The Nazi euthanasia programs, which used starvation, gas chambers and phenobarbital xverdoses, grew out of the pseudoscience of eugenics that did not come from Germany, but argely the United States. Dr. Susan Benedict, from the University of Botswana, spoke Tuesday about the "steps :o the final solution" in the Third Reich, and specifically about the sterilization and euthalasia programs that led to the death or concentration camps usually associated with the Holocaust. "The handicapped were not only devalued but stigmatized greatly," Benedict said, "so nore than 350,00o people were sterilized in Germany." In addition to sterilization models that were actually more narrow in Germany than in he United States, Hitler described his plan to begin euthanasia in the event of war. "He planned for it to coincide with war because people would be distracted by the war effort," Benedict said, "and people would see the need to divert money away from instituionalized patients to soldiers in the war effort." Benedict said in his book "Mein Karnpf," Hitler said of eugenics: "People who are physi:ally and mentally unhealthy or unworthy must not perpetuate the suffering on their chilhen." "Now how many people could go a week without being either mentally or physically inhealthy or unworthy?" Benedict said. "It was a very wide net that was cast." After a little difficulty with the projector, Benedict showed some examples of the pro)aganda used by the Nazis to "socialize the people into expecting not only sterilization but eventually euthanasia." One example Benedict showed was a math problem from a high school textbook that isked students to calculate how many houses could be built for the same amount of money :hat was used to build an institution, while another showed a strong Aryan German man aolding up two deformed people. "The right to live must be earned," Benedict quoted from a "very convincing book" that vas written by a lawyer and a physician during this time. "Destroying lives not worth living would be humane, and the elimination of these lives vas not a crime, but was permissible and even beneficial," Benedict said of the book's themes. After the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Hitler began three phases of killing as part A his eugenical campaign. The first, a children's euthanasia program, began with a written request from the father A a deformed child to the Chancellor. After sending his personal physician to validate the :ase, Benedict said, the child was indeed killed because of its physical deformities. "From 1939 to 1945 between five and seven thousand children were killed," Benedict said, idding that midwives who reported children with afflictions received an 8o cent bonus. Parents were tricked into relinquishing their children, Benedict said, by nurses who )romised excellent care for their children and a chance to "be able to go back to work." "After the children were admitted, they basically were starved to death," Benedict said. `They would cut down their food until the children went into a coma." "They would then notify the parents by mail that 'your child died yesterday, but we had o go ahead and cremate your child because there was a hazard of contagious disease 3enedict said. "The parents had no way of investigating." After the children's euthanasia program, Germany instituted the T4 program, which was he adult "solution" to sixty to seventy thousand institutional patients who were unable to

work. Patients at the six killing centers were euthanized, as well as patients who were brought from over centers on buses with their windows painted over. "The patients were never admitted to the hospital. They came in, they were given a very cursory examination by a doctor, and then they were taken outside to walk into the basement to the gas chamber," Benedict said. Benedict emphasized that the T4 program was not law, but only an authorization, and that doctors and nurses did not have to euthanize, but it only authorized that they were allowed to. "As a precursor to Auschwitz and the other concentration camps," Benedict said, "the ruse of having to take a shower was used." "Patients were led into the room, the door was closed and the patients were killed with carbon monoxide which came from the shower heads," she said. Benedict said of one of the facilities that "there was no way people could not know something awful was going on there." "The children of the town and other towns would taunt each other with: 'Be good, or you'll get on the gray bus and you'll go up the chimney' because soon after the gray bus would arrive, black smoke would come up the chimney," she said. Following the death of 70,273 people, the T4 program ended and was succeeded by "wild euthanasia," which did the same thing with a different method, Benedict said. "Patients were killed individually," she said "[they] were taken one-by-one to the socalled 'special rooms' and they were overdosed and buried of the grounds." Wild euthanasia was done primarily by the nurses, Benedict said, and in the years following the end of the war, the nurses were held responsible in many trials. Depending on the time from the end of the war, some nurses were hanged, some were imprisoned and some were acquitted. Benedict quoted several testimonies from a particular trial that happened 20 years after the war's end, and said that all nurses were required to swear loyalty and obedience to Hitler. Most of the testimonies said that the nurses were just doing their duty, she said, and while some recognized that they did something wrong, others said they felt that they were doing the right thing. In concluding, Benedict said that reasons for talking about the eugenical euthanasia today include not only remembering the victims, but also in asking questions about the coming scientific breakthroughs in genetics. "Will people with certain genetic traits face discrimination?" Benedict said. "And what about the economics of assisted suicide? Would you feel pressured to ask for assisted suicide before you bankrupted your family?" "Is there a slippery slope now, or are there enough safeguards in place that these things cannot happen?"

Obama pivots from first 100 days to rest of agenda Jennifer Loven ssecta ted

esc

WASHINGTON — His first 100 days behind him, President Barack Obama expressed confidence about the next hundred and accelerated his drive toward contentious goals — sweeping health care overhaul, new rules to curb global warming and financial sector reform — even while working to end a recession and two wars. "I'm pleased with the progress we've made, but I'm not satisfied," Obama said Wednesday in Arnold, Mo., the battleground state he chose to mark the milestone. By evening, he was to hold a news conference from the White House, the third of his presidency aired on prime-time television. Obama's intensive schedule for the day demonstrated the degree to which the administration sees both possibility and peril in the symbolic roo-day marker. Presidential aides have derided it as a media-created "Hallmark holiday" in which the White House participates reluctantly. But they also recognize it is a timeframe by which all modern presidents are judged, at least initially, and it can produce negative narratives that dog administrations for years. So the White House has jumped into the celebration with both feet, making high-level Obama advisers available anywhere they were needed over the last week and crafting the president's day to maximum advantage. The opening act of the Obama presidency has been headturning, not only for the dire times in which he took office but his flurry of activity. Determined to revive the dismal economy, his signature challenge, Obama has overseen a trillion-dollar infusion of federal spending and major interventions by Washington into the private sector, from directing executive pay to seizing huge governmental ownership shares in financial institutions and possibly General Motors. He put the country on track to end the Iraq war, while

escalating the one in Afghanistan and revamping the strategy there. Nearly every day since Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration has brought a sweeping new promise to upend business-as-usual, veering from big issues to small and back. The reward: strong public backing despite a stillstaggering economy. An Associated Press-GfK poll shows that 48 percent of Americans believe the United States is headed in the right direction — the first time in years that more people than not expressed optimism for a brighter future. But most of what Obama AP Photo/Jeff Roberson has done so far, as would be expected for little more than President Barack Obama answers a questions from an audience member during three months, amounts to a town hall meeting Wednesday, April 29, 2009, at Fox Senior High School in no more than a downpayArnold, Mo. n-jent.

Swine flu alert nears pandemic level, virus spreads to 10 states Lauran Neergaard Lc. cuctatcrl

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Geneva-based World Health Organization on Wednesday raised- its alert level for the fast-spreading swine flu to its next-to-highest notch, signaling a global pandemic could be imminent. The move came after the virus spread to at least ro U.S. states from coast to coast and swept deeper into Europe. "It really is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic," said WHO Director General Margaret Chan. "We do not have all the answers right now but we will get them." In the United States, President Barack Obama mourned the first U.S. death, a Mexican

toddler who had traveled with his family to Texas. Total American cases surged to nearly 100, and Obama said wider school closings might be necessary. In Mexico, where the flu is believed to have originated, officials said Wednesday the disease is now confirmed or suspected in 159 deaths, and nearly 2,500 illnesses. There were no other deaths confirmed from the flu. But health officials in the United States and around the world braced for them. Dr. Richard Besser, the acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in Atlanta there were 91 confirmed cases in ten states, with 51 in New York, 16 in Texas and 14 in California. Two cases have been confirmed in Kansas, Massachusetts and Michigan, while single cases have been reported in Arizona, Indiana, Nevada and Ohio. State officials in Maine said laboratory tests had confirmed three cases in that ,state, although those had not yet been included in the CDC count. And the Pentagon said that a Marine in southern California had tested positive for the disease. -WQ:Kr

f% II rae•

At one point in his life ,Nathanial Ayers attended the prestigious music school, Julliard Academy and at the next point, pushed around a shopping cart packed with all his possessions as he wandered Los Angeles finding different streets to sleep on. Based on a true story, "The Soloist" takes its audience through a heartfelt story of a journalist, Steve Lopez, befriending this troubled musician, Ayers. Lopez (Robert Downing Jr.), a writer for the LA Times, is in a slump as he cannot seem to find a truly good topic for a story. To add pressure to Lopez, the LA Times continues cutting staff as the readership of newspapers increasingly declines. As Lopez walks throughout the city looking for a story, he runs into a homeless man beautifully play-

ing a violin with only two strings next to a Beethoven statue in a park. Intrigued by this character, Lopez strikes up conversation with the musician Ayers (Jamie Foxx). Once Lopez finds out Ayers actually studied cello at Julliard, Lopez begins gathering information from Ayer's family and from JAME FOXX ROBERT DOWNEY JR.

NEW YORK (AP) - The debate over torture is getting personal for two of cable TV's prime-time hosts. After Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity made a seemingly impromptu offer last week to undergo waterboarding as a benefit for charity, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann leapt at it. He offered $1,000 to the families of U.S. troops for every second Hannity withstood the technique. Olbermann repeated the offer on Monday's show and said in an interview Tuesday that he's heard no response. He said he'll continue to pursue it. "I don't think he has the courage to even respond to this — let alone do it," Olbermann said. Fox News Channel representatives did not respond to requests for comment. The two men are on opposite poles of a debate that has preoccupied the worlds of talk TV and radio. Hannity says waterboarding is a fair and necessary interrogation technique for suspected terrorists; Olbermann calls it torture, says it's ineffective and should not be done by Americans. Charles Grodin was challenging Hannity on the issue on Fox last week, and asked whether he would consent to be waterboarded. "Sure," Hannity said. "I'll do it for charity ... I'll do it for the troops' families." It wasn't exactly clear how serious the

conversation was, since Grodin joked, "Are you busy on Sunday?" and Hannity laughed. "I'll let you do it,"? Hannity said. "I wouldn't do Olbermann it," Grodin said. (AP Photo) "I'll hand you a towel when you come out of the shower." Olbermann's offer was quick. Besides the $1,000 per second, Olbermann said he'd double it if Hannity acknowledges he feared for his life and admits that waterboarding is torture. "The idea of putting somebody in a position they have volunteered for, for charity, to respond to their own unsupportable claims, is in many ways priceless," Olbermann said. Olbermann, who hasn't missed any chance to criticize his ideological enemies at Fox, concedes TV competition plays a part in his offer. But he said it was sincere, because he believes Hannity has had a damaging role in the debate. "If you expose people to reality, even with someone who is denying reality, that can have a powerful and important impact," he said.

NEW YORK — Harold Perrineau is waiting for a simple yes or no. He's waiting, just like his co-stars on ABC's quirky new cop drama "The Unusuals" (including Amber Tamblyn, Adam Goldberg and Terry Kinney) and the rest of the cast and crew. "It's nail-biting time," says Perrineau. "I'm -trying to be cool, but I'm knotted up." _ Welcome to TV's waiting game, an annual event playing out at dozens of network TV series that are neither slam-dunk hits nor terminal flops but instead (in industry lingo) "on the bubble," their fate undetermined as each network formulates a fall prime-time schedule. NBC will unveil its roster Monday. Will struggling series such as "Chuck," "Medium" or "My Name Is Earl" , make the cut, competing for precious NBC real estate against other contenders such as the justlaunched Amy Poehler comedy "Parks and Recreation" and gritty police drama "Southland," plus any of several pilots vying for a series pickup, not to mention Jay Leno's forthcoming weeknight hour (which will seize nearly one-quarter of the schedule)? Wait and see what NBC's scheduling calculus serves up! At ABC, CBS, Fox and the CW, the waiting game will drag on a bit longer: Upfront week for those networks kicks off May 18. ABC has already jumped the gun, inviting back a dozen series including "Brothers & Sisters," "Grey's Anatomy" and "Ugly Betty." But the future remains murky for other ABC shows, such as newcomers "Castle," "Cupid" and "The Unusuals" (10 p.m. EDT, Wednesday), where Perrineau plays an overcautious NYPD detective who refuses to doff his bulletproof vest, even at the station. It's a fun role, says Perrineau, "and a perfect fit." Phoning from the Los Angeles home he shares with his wife and their two daughters, Perrineau fondly recalls shooting the season's ro episodes in New York. "There was a lot of exterior stuff, and it was cold — definitely not Hawaii shooting," laughs Perrineau, referring to his stint as a plane-crash victim on the balmy "Lost" isle. "But we were having a great time!" Then, just about the time "The Unusuals" premiered, production wrapped: "We had a lot of 'so longs' and 'I hope I get to see you guys again in a few months.'" While Perrineau waits to learn if he and his family will head back east for another season of "The Unusuals," Tom Hertz is in his own holding pattern. As the creator-producer of the CBS sitcom "Rules of Engagement," Hertz is sharing pins and needles with other members of his show, including stars Patrick Warburton, Megyn Price and David Spade. The show is halfway through its 13-episode third season, currently airing at 9:30 p•m. EDT Mondays.

Inside the Lines with Chris Wescott

NFL Draft: Former UCO football star heads to NFL Chris Wescott /IS

tiler

Former UCO outside linebacker KC. Asiodu has signed an undrafted rookie free agent contract with the St. Louis Rams this past week. Asiodu will attend the Rams' rookie mini camp this Thursday afternoon. The Rams are a team that finished 28th overall last season on defense. They have a solid young core of linebackers, but are in a desperate

ceptions, one for a touchdown in 2008. Asiodu was selected twice as Lone Star Conference North Division Player of the Week during the 2008 season and was colinebacker of the year. At UNLV, Asiodu played in both the 2005 and 2006 seasons and played in 20 games, starting 10. In those seasons, Asiodu compiled 61 total tackles, 5.5 tackles for a loss, one sack, and two forced fumbles. The Rams are one year removed from a 2-14 season and an abysmal

need of depth at that position. The Rams also struggled on special teams, a position that Asiodu may thrive at in the NFL. Asiodu is six-foot-three and 23o pounds. As an undrafted rookie, Asiodu will need to put on some muscle to get his playing weight up a little bit. At UNLV, in 2004-2006, Asiodu was listed as 24o, which is probably what he will need to work back to to play in the NFL. Asioflu was a productive cone giate linebacker, and had 74 tackles, and outstanding 13.5 for a loss and 4.5 sacks with three inter-

season all around, characterized by a patchy defense and inconsistency on offense. The Rams lack the depth at outside linebacker that Asiodu could provide. The Rams, weak at the position, chose to draft only one linebacker and that was an inside linebacker. They drafted James Laurinaitis in the second round. Asiodu could make the roster as an undrafted free agent, capitalizing on the lack Of talent and depth in the Rams' linebacker corps. That fact that the Rams failed to address their linebacker woes factored into Asiodu's decision to

sign with the Rams. "We wanted to go fo a -team that didn't draft heavy at linebacker and had some need at that position." Asiodu said in a press release earlier this week. "They only drafted one linebacker, and that was a middle, so they definitely have a need on the outside." Asiodu has a tough road ahead of him, but if he can stay focused, work hard and impress the right people, he will have no problem living out an athlete's dream.

Golf turns in solid LSC performance Chris Wescott sports I [ -rile!.

The UCO golf program has experinced some significant successes lately. Both the men and women teams put up solid numbers this season. Last week, the UCO women finished fourth in the Lone Star Conference Tournament and the men took home second place. The tournament finished up on April 21. For the women's team, Cassy Knight, a junior, won the individual crown in the tournament. She finished the tournament with a one-under par total of 143 and won by a single stroke when an Angelo State player, Raelyn Smith, missed a three-foot putt on the last hole. Knight avoided the tie and the sudden death playoff and took home the crown. Junior star player, Colby Shrum, continued his NCAA Division II dominance shooting 65 in the final round of the tournament and taking the individual crown for the UCO men. The Lone Star Conference player of the year made a late, final-round comeback and entered the final round two

Dr. Terry Clark: Professor, mentor, friend Kory Oswald co✓•espondent

On July 31, Dr. Terry Clark will step down after 19 years is the chair of the Mass Communications department. "It's time." Clark said. "I'm getting tired of the paperyork...and the chance to spend more time on teaching, ,vorking with students, and bolstering the state press and he department is welcome." A lot happens in 19 years. Clark's hair, once blonde, is low thin and gray and the lines around his eyes accentuate lis age while exemplifying a still-present propensity for mis:hief. Clark looks like he could be your grandfather or your irinking buddy, or both. This ability to transcend the boundaries of mentor and :onfidant could be the reason he has routinely scored )etween a 3.7 and 4.0 on a 4.0 scale in student evaluations. ['hat score could also be there because, after more than forty Tears in education, Clark's eagerness to teach and help is still ?vident in his interaction with his students. "I think learning should be fun, and the most important hings you learn in college are not in textbooks," Clark said. `I believe passion in teaching and teaching passion is the key :0 success." After earning his degree from UCO in 1966, Clark started :eaching in Iowa at the age of 22. He earned his Masters in Journalism from the University )f Iowa in 1969 and then earned a doctorate in Mass 2ommunications and Higher Education at Oklahoma State jnivers ity. While building his career in education, Clark also began yorking in journalism. He was the publisher and owner of the Waurika NewsDemocrat and copy editor of the The Daily Oklahoman in he early 90s. Clark still writes for various publications :oday. When he took the job as chair of the journalism depart-

ment in 1990 Clark was only the fifth full-time faculty member. The department only had 200-300 students, and he shared an office with an adjunct. Now the Mass Comm. Department has more than 800 students, 22 full-time faculty members, 25 part-time faculty members and nine staff members. It is the largest department at UCO and the second largest journalism program in Oklahoma. "We are doing more with less, than anybody I know," Clark said. The growth of the department is the result of the merging of the Broadcast and Journalism programs that occurred in 2004. It was a change that Clark saw the need for more than nine years ago and it took five years to implement. "We knew that all of our students needed...cross platform training," Clark said. "They need to be able to do more than just write a print story...it was for the good of the students and reflected industry trends." Although Clark was the steward of this change and growth, he is modest about his role and gives credit to president Webb as well as the Mass Comm. faculty. He laughs when the merger is mentioned as his legacy as chair. "I don't like the term legacy, it sounds like I'm dead," Clark said. "I think its definitely one of the accomplishments...that I helped bring about for the good of our students and department." Today Clark's office is a little bigger and more representative of his life in journalism. One wall is painted a southwest orange, a throwback to his New Mexico roots. It is decorated with watercolor paintings he did himself and black and white photographs taken by his wife. The opposite wall is wood paneled and is adorned with a map of Mali, an exceptionally detailed pencil drawing of Will Rogers drawn by Clark's father, and more photographs that were taken by Clark. The paintings, drawings and photographs are mediums of art as well as tools that have been historically used to

document and report. They require skill and technique and it seems fitting that even Clark's hobbies are instruments of the craft he has devoted his career to supporting, teaching and strengthening. "Watercolor is my therapy," Clark said. "I have a passion for teaching and journalism, so I don't take myself too seriously." Many things have changed at UCO during Clark's tenure as chair. From the face of the campus to the administrative work required of the chair and the increased quality of the education offered in the departments throughout the school. "The campus actually looks like a campus...right out side the south wall [of the mass corn depai tinent] there used to be a gravel parking lot," said Clark. "I am really impressed with the quality of the chairs and the departments and the faculty on this campus...we've got some of the best teachers in the world here," Clark said. In 2006, the Liberal Arts College recognized the work Clark has done as chair by voting for him to receive the Lifetime Achievement award. He is especially proud of the award because it was a vote of his peers, the other chairs of the college, and it was the first one given in the college of Liberal Arts. In July Clark will leave behind the red tape of administrative work and get back to teaching and further developing the Journalism Hall of Fame. He has accomplished a lot and received many awards but those are secondary. , "What I'm really proudest of are our students and what they accomplish and the reputations they have in all fields," Clark said. "Our students are ready to go to work and are good journalist, and that to me is the highest praise." Dr. Roz Miller, a communications professor, will replace Clark as chair of the mass comm. Department. Dr. David Nelson, broadcasting professor, will serve as the assistant chair.
