UCO awarded for outstanding employment By Cory Miller Student Writer The Library Department of UCO was awarded the 1996 Outstanding Employer of the Year by the Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped on April 17. UCO President George Nigh and Dr. John Lolley, dean of libraries, were presented the award by Susan Thompson of Gov. Frank Keating's office at an awards ceremony in the State Capitol. UCO was nominated for the award by Supported Employment Services for its employment of Andy Morrisett,
a part-time employee in the Serials department affected by cerebral palsy, said Donna Brown, supervisor of the Serials Department at the Max Chambers Library. Supported Employment Services is a program which places persons with disabilities for employment and helped place Morrisett at UCO. The Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, which operates through the State of Oklahoma Office of Handicapped Concerns, presents the award annually to an employer who has contributed to the employment of persons with disabilities.

Enrollment policy changes made to aid students By Brenan Hefner Student Writer Beginning Fall 1996, students will have an extra 10 days after the tuition payment deadline before they are dropped from their classes if they pay a $10 reinstatement fee. The change is in an effort to cut out on "phantom
enrollment," while giving an extra chance to "legitimate" students. David Koen, controller of business affairs, defined "phantom enrollment" as "students who enroll but don't pay, or cancel, thus taking up space on the rolls." In addition, late registration will begin the Tuesday after cancellations (four days before
school starts) instead of the first day of classes. However, the late registration fee has been increased from $20 to $40. "This is an attempt to produce a balanced approach to payments and deadlines. It provides incentives for people to pay on time and has penalties for people who don't," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management.

When those who uphold the law break the law...
T
he recent resurgence of police brutality is a disturbing trend that seems to be in fashion again. The dust of ignominy has barely settled on the Rodney King incident when hot on its heels follow similar cases of abuse, mishandling and mistreatment. The public doesn't know who the good guys are anymore. It used to be those in blue with flashing badges, but now these same guys are brandishing batons with a wantonness and a ferocity that has left the people they "protect and serve" in consternated askance, with questions raised of the officers' integrity and professionalism. So what triggers the violent behavior? Is it the long hours, the low pay or the lack of public recognition for the hard work and the ever-present element of danger? Is it having one's life at constant peril, the unnerving uncertainty of going to work each morning and not knowing if it's going to be one's last? In bigger departments, officers are required to attend regular therapy sessions with police psychologists. It is a proactive way of solving the problem before it becomes a problem, but a less expensive method would be to amass the support of the public, to facilitate better understanding between the police and the civilians and the roles they play in society. To answer King's plea, "Can't we all just get along?" — with a little tolerance, we can. On

Psychology masters to remain unlicensed By Rob Gallavan Staff Writer
A new bill that would have allowed master-level psychology graduates to be licensed as psychologists was defeated on the State Senate floor this term. Senate Bill 1221, authored by Sen. Ben Brown and Rep. Ray Vaughn, would have given UCO graduates with their master's degrees in psychology the opportunity to practice as licensed psychologists. The university is one of 350 that train master-level psychologists. "It came on too fast," said Dr. David Mitchell, psychology professor. "Senator Ben Brown put up
the bill without my knowledge and we didn't have any time to respond. We scrambled to get people together," he said. Currently, master-level psychologists can practice as licensed professional counselors in mental health centers and guidance clinics but they have to forfeit their title as a psychologist to be hired. "Two out of every three psychologists stop at the master's level and work in state and federal government jobs," said Mitchell. "We want to retain our identity in psychology." Opponents to the bill state that master-level psychologists lack the adequate training to be licensed. Master-level individuals already have an avenue to
practice their profession, said Dr. Larry McCauley, legislative/hospital privileges chairman for the senate committee. But two states have recently stopped licensing master-level individuals as licensed professional counselors. "The Ph.D. psychologists don't want us to be licensed...they say that we would be hurting the profession if we did this." In a facsimile distributed throughout Oklahoma, opponents to the bill state that "no physician would ever be licensed as an M.D. No paralegal would ever be licensed to practice law. No masters-level mental health person should be allowed to practice psychology."
"The funny thing," said Mitchell, "is that all the research on the outcomes show that our psychotherapy and our diagnosis is as effective as theirs." Master-level psychologists have to complete two years of classroom training and two years of post-graduate supervision. Doctorate-level psychologists must complete three years of classroom training, a one-year internship and one year of postgraduate supervision. The bill will be re-introduced next fall and Mitchell is working with a committee in an effort to get the bill passed next term. Mitchell said UCO could provide the additional training needed to license master-level individuals if the bill eventually passes.

Professor captures communications award Wardrope one of three communicators in 13-state region to win `outstanding' honors By Lisa Tatum
Student Writer William Wardrope, UCO assistant professor of communication, was named "Outstanding New Teacher" April 19 at the annual meeting of the Central States Communication Association (CSCA) in St. Paul, Minn. Wardrope and two other communication educators from a 13-state region were recognized for outstanding accomplishments in teaching, research and professional service at the four-day conference. The CSCA comprises faculty and graduate students of two and four-year colleges offering speech communication coursework. The award is given to instructors who are still in their first seven years of full-time college teaching. Wardrope has been teaching communication courses at UCO since 1992. He has attended seven of the last nine CSCA conferences which are geared to Assistant Professor of Communication William Wardrope the development of teaching.

`Haves' have it all but tave-nots' have more fun at ABC
I
,
n this world of almost endless diversity, there are but two kinds of people. When all is said and done, there are the "haves" and the "havenots." U C 0 students are among the latter. We COLUMN have not degrees, trees, money or grass. Our needs are simple — a tight schedule, a warm scantron and a loose parking place. We do have one thing though. Delusions. Case in point: Last week, my fellow reporter, Judy Simpson, and I were given the incredible opportunity of working as runners for ABC. Pete, that's Peter Jennings to you locals, and his crew were covering the anniversary of the bombing from The Regency Towers in downtown Oklahoma City, America. Upon arrival, we acquainted

ourselves with what the Yanks had euphemistically dubbed "The Crew Room," which looked more like the spread for a wedding reception — an Italian wedding reception. Working our way through the aisles of gleaming chaffing dishes brimming with biscuits and gravy and bagels, we looked like Lucy and Ethel on the assembly line at the chocolate factory. Now, we ABC bigwigs never know when some late breaking story will demand our journalistic genius, so it's important to keep up our strength. This in mind, I ate what I could and prepared a small stash of bagels on the long computer-laden table where I felt sure I would compose my Pulitzer Prize winning script. "Whose food is this?" asked a crisp-suited man with the best forearms I've ever seen. His name was Justin, he was my boss, and in New York he was a very important man. "Maan," I answered. "Pardon me?" asked Justin. See, I had learned that New York types just love the way
Southern women talk, so I was working on my drawl. By the end of the week I sounded like Butterfly McQueen when Atlanta was being shelled. "Its maa bagel. In case I get hungry. I mean hongrey." With a self-assured flick of his vein-marbled arm, Justin flicked it in the trash, explaining "there will be more, you know." Justin, you see, is a "have" and at that moment, what he had was my bagel. I waited until he left the room to retrieve it. See how it works? We spent the rest of the day doing things that Judy paid me $5 not to tell. Thursday morning when Peter arrived, he entered the room and sat his briefcase down next to my backpack. As I gazed at the genteel yet worn cordovan with Jennings' I.D. hanging in redundancy, I took on the air of a crusader spotting the Grail. Jennings sat down and began working on his lead-in script. Next to his laptop was a phone. And in front of the phone, sat I. Now, to fully appreciate this moment, you must realize that I
usually sit next to Paul Eddy. Paul may be a perfectly sweet guy, but Jennings is a "Have" with a capital H. He cocked his adorable, fluffy eyebrow in my direction and asked "Just exactly what are you young ladies here to do?" All the blood that had been diverted to my stomach due to the biscuits drained from my body, leaving my brain to flounder. In a moment, I had mustered up enough neurotransmitters to blurt, "Anything you want." I even forgot to drawl. The rest of my time with ABC was spent in a self-conscious blur. True to my word, I did everything for Jennings from research to requisitioning — Oklahoma style. "I would kill, or even pay for a cushion or something to sit on so that I can reach the top of the table- to write," he beseeched me. Me! This was my chance. For a brief moment I considered offering him the use of Judy's lap. Imagine how that would look on her resume. But I abandoned the plan and went to the leasing manager's office.
In five minutes, I was back with three men toting selection of chairs and cushions. "Good job," said Jennings. "Not at all," I replied. "That's the way we do it." Friday, April 19, was a day I'll never forget. For these three days among strange people in a strange land, I had earned more money that I usually do in a month (That's not counting the $5 Judy paid me). But what I remember most was the few moments I shared with most other UCO students. At 9:02a.m., when the whole country was on Oklahoma time, I shared with you a moment of silence. "I'll be outside," I told Justin and anyone else who might wonder. Although surrounded by the display of national media of my dreams, I stood across from the site of the Federal Building and wept. It was this uniquely Oklahoman experience that made me realize how much I had after all. On —By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

Pinkston notches 400th victory in season finale By Joel Reagan Student Writer
The Central Oklahoma softball team finished their 1996 season with a doubleheader sweep Friday over Cameron in Lawton. The two wins were a milestone for head coach Gerry Pinkston. Pinkston, in her 21st year directing the Lady Bronchos, earned her 399th and 400th victories of her career with the two 9-1 wins. "It just kind of fell into place," Pinkston said. "The wins were evident of the quality of the ballplayers I've had here. It is as much their victories as anybody's." The wins improved Pinkston's career record to 400-258-1. She earned her 350th win in the 1994 season. The first game didn't look like a win at the start. The Lady Aggies' Cammie Hinson led off the bottom of the first by hitting an inside the park home run. Cameron's field dimensions are bigger than most, allowing Hinson to circle the bases. That was all Cameron (13-31) could muster as sophomore Stacey Dannels scattered two more hits to improve to 15-7 on Erika Stout takes a cut at the ball during a recent game. UCO the season.

Ridley golden in meet By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer Central Oklahoma's Stanley Ridley, Chris Weilert and two UCO relay teams captured gold or silver medals in the Southwestern Kansas Relays in Winfield, Kan. this past weekend. Ridley earned two records as well as a pair of medals. The senior from Carrolton, Ga. ran a first-place time of 52.7 seconds and set a meet record in the 400meter intermediate hurdles. Ridley placed second in the 100m hurdles in a school-record 14.2 seconds, besting his own record. Weilert continued to dominate the javelin competition, throwing a second-place 195-feet, 3-inch distance. He has finished either first or second in each of UCO's track meets this spring. Frank Simon led the Bronchos' 4x800 relay team to a first-place time of 7 minutes, 50.9 seconds. UCO track coach Paul Parent said Simon, who
placed third in the 5,000, ran "the fastest half (mile) in his life." Ridley also sparked UCO's second-place effort of 3:20.8 in the 4x400. Parent said that Ridley ran the anchor leg in a time of 47.4. Other medalists included Cathy Williams, who threw a season-best 139-1 third-place distance in the discus; Kristi Redding, who also recorded a personal-best, third-place distance of 35-5 1/2 in the triple jump; and the UCO men's sprint medley team, who ran a thirdplace time of 3:49.9. UCO will travel to the TexasArlington Invitational in Arlington, Texas on May 4. Parent said he will take a scaleddown team to Arlington, including those who are close to qualifying for the national meet. Ridley, Simon, Weilert, Williams, Abel Kahuni and Chericka Bartells each have recorded provisional qualifying times and distances in their events for the national meet. in

Students celebrate National Physics Day By Lindy 011 Student Writer
Four UCO students put on a physics demonstration for an open audience Wednesday a afternoon in Howell Hall in honor of National Physics Day. Seniors Sharon Kennedy and Michael Melton, and juniors Russell Gartman and Sandy Hess performed experiments in subjects including force, torque, angular momentum, resonance and static. At one point, to demonstrate force distribution, Gartman lay on the table and placed a bed of nails on his stomach with two concrete blocks on top. Melton then struck the blocks with a sledgehammer. Both blocks were broken and Gartman was unhurt. Most of the force of the impact was absorbed by pieces of the top block as it shattered. Even more force was absorbed by the bottom block as it broke, and the final amount went into me, said Gartman. Other highlights -included the making of a banana hammer by immersing a banana in liquid nitrogen to freeze it, and a demonstration of how static electricity causes cereal to fly from a bowl. In the finale, the students filled plastic bottles with liquid nitrogen, then placed them in a
bucket of water, making the bottles explode and shoot water to the ceiling. The liquid in the bottles expanded, and with nowhere else to go it broke the plastic, the students said. "Science is a blast, whether it's chemistry or physics, or force or pressure. If you like science, keep a hold of it, because you guys (students) are our future," said Hess. Wednesday was the second time UCO has participated in National Physics Day and this year has been immensely better than last, said Dr. Ronald C. Miller, professor of physics. 40

On May 2 the worship area at the Baptist Student Union (BSU) will be transformed into Connie's Cup of Coffee, a murky cafe where guests will be introduced to the mysterious town of Mayville and watch as an interactive murder mystery unfolds before their eyes. The BSU comedy/drama troupe known as FLUSH, or Fellowship Lets Us Serve Him, will perform Mayhem in Mayville at 7 p.m. at the BSU, located on the southwest corner of campus. "We've always wanted to do a

memorial with a purpose as opposed to a marble statue," said Dianna Farbrough of the Truman Foundation. The scholarship process began in November with an application evaluating the students' academics, leadership and activities as well as asking a series of essay and policy analysis questions. The applicants had to be college juniors and citizens of the United States. "I feel very honored and fortunate to have won the scholarship," said Harris. He plans to use the money to either go to law school or to get his master's degree in political science.
Baptists perform to benefit injured student mystery, and this one is somewhat interactive, yet enough of a script for our group to be challenged," said Janay Moody, associate BSU director and FLUSH sponsor. The cast, consisting of 10 UCO students, has been rehearsing for the production since January. Freshman Chantel Johnson said the play was a great way for her to get to know her fellow cast members. "It's been great being able to act with Christian people through a Christian organization," Johnson said. Leah Wilkins, a junior, has been involved in FLUSH for

winners of the Truman Scholarship. Harris' qualifications for the scholarship include being the former UCO student body president, former president of College Republicans, one of the top four finalists for the Stanton L. Young Gold Medal Award and on both the President's and Dean's Honor Rolls. The Truman Foundation based in Washington, D.C. was formed in 1975 as a living memorial to President Harry S. Truman. The foundation's purpose is solely to award scholarships to deserving students for their academic merit. "We wanted to establish a

several semesters. Although theater is not her major, Wilkins said the play has given her an opportunity to act as a hobby. For Moody, Mayhem in Mayville is another way the BSU highlights the "wide variety of talent" found at the university. "The different groups here, like FLUSH, give our students a chance to use their talents for God's glory," she said. Tickets are $5 in advance or $6 at the door and can be purchased at the BSU or from FLUSH members beginning this week. All proceeds will go to FLUSH member Don Paul Dodson, a UCO junior injured in
a car accident involving a drunk driver during Spring Break. Originally, the money raised from the play was meant for BSU summer missions, but Moody said the cast decided to help Dodson after learning his arm and ankle were broken and most of the bones in his face were crushed in the accident. "He's been a faithful student in our program and this unfortunate situation has placed a heavy burden on him," she said. Junior Garrick McAnear, a cast member, said, "When one of us gets hurt, we all get hurt, so we were glad to help him out a little bit."

UCO student attends NATO conference abroad By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
Most UCO students have never heard of the Republic of Uzbekistan, but the former Russian republic is now more than just a country on the map for one political science senior. David Schneider attended a NATO conference on "Western Security in the Midst of Global Uncertainty" at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., April 13 - 14. The political science honor society at UCO paid his airfare, and fees for the conference were waived because Schneider agreed to work as a student volunteer at the conference. "But when I arrived, there were so many student volunteers that there wasn't enough work to go around," he said. The organizers told him to enjoy the conference and not worry about doing any work. At the conference, Schneider got to know Turdiqul Butayarov, an ambassador from the Republic of Uzebekistan. "We walked around the campus and talked," Schneider said. The campus is the same one Thomas Jefferson studied on
Gold, cotton production in Uzbekistan to open business possibilities in former Soviet republic
before he became the United States' ambassador to France. The Uzbekistan Republic is the only Asian country of the former republics that has not reaffirmed economic ties with Moscow, Schneider explained. This situation makes Uzbekistan ripe with emerging business opportunities. The
country ranks fifth in the world's production of gold and second in production of cotton. While Schneider is excited about the economic possibilities in the Uzbekistan Republic, he also realizes the parlimentarian government still has room for improvement. "If they want to deal with the
West, they need human rights reforms and political reforms," he said. "Many people are in prison who never had a trial." At the conference, he also attended presentations by Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of Britain, and Lawrence Eagleburger, former secretary of state. Both discussed
the question of NATO expansion in the wake of Communism. "The American people don't want to foot the bill to be the world's police force," Schneider said. "If NATO is going to represent its traditional function, then the U.S. is going to have to be less of a leader and let Europe handle its own problems," he said. Schneider said he's "ultimately always wanted a career in diplomacy." The conference increased his confidence about that possibility. "I was spending time with professionals," he said. "A lot of them assumed I was a professor and they were surprised to find out I was a student." Schneider is a student worker in the political science department and helped plan the Oklahoma Political Science Association annual meeting held at UCO last fall. He is applying for the Rotary Club scholarship that would allow him to study in Europe. Schneider will be starting on his master's degree in political science this summer at UCO. His emphasis of study will be in International Affairs.

According to the American Cancer Society, almost 15,800 women in the United States will be diagnosed with cervical cancer this year and 4,800 women will die from it. Each year in Oklahoma, 7080 women die from cervical cancer, said Oklahoma Commissioner of Health J.R. Nida, M.D. "An annual pap test and pelvic exam are recommended for all women ages 18 and older and especially sexually active women of any age," said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, interim director of UCO's Student Health Center. This procedure should only be performed by a certified
health care provider and is offered at the center, she said. According to Wallenmeyer, "Many young women are misinformed about cervical cancer. Most cases are genetic and very uncommon in young women, however, there are a number of factors that contribute to cervical cancer," she said. "One of the factors is promiscuity. The more unprotected sex a girl engages in, the more likely she is to receive an irregular pap test — thus indicating cervical cancer." For more information about early detection and prevention of cervical cancer, contact the Student Health Center at 3412980, Ext. 2317 or your healthcare provider.
