Campus remembers victims Memorial set up to honor student, victims of bombing Photo and Story By John Clanton

Staff Writer Dana Cooper, one of the fatalities of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building, will not be forgotten by her classmates. A memorial was set up anonymously, next to where she usually sat, on Wednesday night in Room 202 of Old North. The memorial consisted of a teddy bear, flowers and poster that described Cooper: "The media described her as a `beautiful young woman who dedicated her life to caring for children.'Dana and her two-year-old son Christopher were taken from us by the terrible tragedy in the day care center of the federal building in Oklahoma City on Apri119, 1995. Please keep Dana, Christopher and their family in your thoughts and prayers. We miss you, Dana!" Anyone wanting to donate money to Cooper's family should contact the First

Tuition hike supported by President's Council By Iris Knight

Staff Writer A tuition increase for all Oklahoma colleges was supported by the President's Council, a group of all Oklahoma university presidents, in April. "Every university president in the state has approved an increase in college tuition," said President George Nigh.

The President's Council support three things, said Nigh. 1 - Higher education must be statefunded at a higher level. 2 - If the Legislature gave more state appropriations to universities, UCO and all other underfunded colleges must be treated separately. 3 - The Oklahoma Legislature must take a serious look at a tuition increase.

Campus communicates through poetry Them Okie bumpkins shouldn't stereotype

eelings were aligned against the Muslim community in Oklahoma. After all, it had to be Middle East terrorists who wreaked such havoc into the peaceful lives of good Christian Oklahomans. One of the righteous took matters into his own hands as he fired into a Stillwater Mosque. Luckily, Roy John Henley, like every good Oklahoman in Stillwater, had a gun rack in his pick-up truck so he could show those for'ners that here in Oklahoma we believe in just retribution. ...Just another example of American stereotyping. That flame was fed as the media reported the suspects in Wednesday's bombing as Middle Eastern males. Now, however, it has become apparent that it was really those crazy Fascist Nazi Youth—those Militant Punks (or whatever, they're all just alike, y'know)—who murdered - .America's Kids." We, the good people of Oklahoma, should rise up and hunt down those Scum, those White Trash, Evil Nincompoops who spout their anarchist, liberation talk...00PS. Sorry, look at that. We're stereotyping again. Admittedly, the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City needs a response, especially here in Oklahoma, but it doesn't need to become an ill-focused hatred. The people in this city have come together in tragedy to help, but some have put down those efforts, claiming that Oklahomans couldn't possibly have the ability to deal with such a situation. Imagine that, despite the fact that Oklahoma City is in close proximity to a strategic military base and had plans to enact against terrorism, we're really just a bunch of country bumpkins running around lost. (Oh, yeah?) Anyway, back to those NRA Right-Wing Crazy Fascist Nazis (or whatever...). Just because some of them believe along the same lines as the suspects doesn't mean that they should all be lumped into one guilty party. Even more importantly, students should avoid putting blame on military organizations or personnel. "One thing to remember is that a great segment of the population has had military training and served in the American military, yet only a very few are involved in these types of incidents or belong to these organizations. Most of our older society fought in World War II, but you don't see them on top of towers shooting people or blowing up buildings," said Theodore Brogden, chairperson of Military Science at UCO. Oklahoma has fallen victim to terrorism. We all need to make sure it doesn't stumble over stereotypes as well. Where does blame end and healing begin?

The April 25. 1995 Vista Inside Today box and related story on the ROTC military maneuver practice was erroneous. It referred to rappelling as repelling several times. We apologize for the mistake. Also, the story on page 10 had a mistake. Construction for the Central Power Plant is scheduled to end by August 15, 1995. The entire construction process should he finished in August or September, 1997.

Our Tragedy Twisted wire and broken cement; Absent walls and crumpled floors. The roof is gone and ceilings missing As are all the doors. A toy fire truck and plastic block; A tricycle, wagon and car; Toys so important for children's play Now buried or scattered afar. Happy children once at play Are now quiet and still. A silence now imposed; But only against their will. A daughter; a mother; A father; a son; A friend; a co-worker; Unable to run. Business transactions To take care of that day; Brought innocent bystanders; Such prices to pay.

Federal Buildin ont tng, We don't always know The people exceptional; What threatens our land. Without needing fame. Each goal of these terrorists We may never know. To kill and destroy; Their acts certainly show.

Oh where are the children; When will they be found? Life is so precious But death's all around.

Anger rips at our soul; Frustration tears at our heart. Who could do this terrible thing? A tragedy from the very start.

We must watch from a distance Wait for rescuer's sounds. A signal, word or message; Showing one more person found.

Oh help us dear Lord To understand why This had to happen As we all cry.

The American flags At the disaster site; Some dirty and tattered From the explosion's might.

We feel so empty, So hopeless and scared. We felt safe and immune; But were so unprepared. But everyone gave; Both stranger and friend. Their time, skills and lives To help us to mend.

Who could do such a very sick thing? Silence small voices; ignore the pain. Life that was taken without any choice; What did they think they might have to gain?

We cannot let evil control Our actions and our life. We must make a conscious choice To grow amid the strife.

To divide America; Its foundation to weaken? To separate people? Instead bonds are strengthened. We'll often ask why And try to understand.

To Loved Ones Lost Homes are silent, where once little feet tread. High chairs are vacant where sweet mouths once fed Tricycles and wagons sit empty in the grass. No longer do they laugh and play in their day-care class. Sweet little headbands and baseball caps

Found in the offices Each out of place. Flags flown at half staff Cause pride on each face. Strength comes from prayer For facing tomorrow. With family and friends To help with the sorrow.

Blue for our statehood And the pride that we share. Yellow for hope For those not yet found. Purple for children As courage abounds. White for the innocence That each victim bears. Green for each prayer Because we know that God cares. Red, white and blue; These colors display. Unlimited support In hundreds of ways. We all will go forward; We've a future to plan. They won't break our spirit Throughout this great land. Our people are strong Very giving and kind. We've bonded together; A closeness hard to find. We'll gather together For prayer and song. The purpose is healing From this terrible wrong Let's pray that we grow From the good that is done. And release all our anger To God where forgiveness comes.

We know there are miracles That God can provide. Pray without ceasing; He stays by our side.

We'll ask God for comfort For He understands. He has such compassion With His outstretched hands.

Where is this heartland That people call home. It's so very special With a strength all its own.

The symbols we use To help us express; Our concern and support On dress or on vest.

Oh Lord, give us peace And help us proceed. Put our grief behind us Let healing succeed.

Yes, on April 19, 1995 in Oklahoma City a terrible bomb snuffed out these precious lives. It affected everyone around us, like children grandparents, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives. It was done by some inhuman persons who must have forgotten how to love. It certainly did not come from our loving God who dwells so high above.

Sexual harassment suit raises concern concern about the liability of faculty who are sued in their capacity as state employees. They also asked for a copy of the liability policy so they could learn more about the procedures that need to be followed when a faculty member is sued. The attorney general's office also has given some other reasons, including Givan's failure to provide any information of good faith during the events alleged in the petition, or that he was carrying out his lawfully appointed duties as a state employee at the time of the alleged conduct in question. Finally the attorney general believes a conflict will arise should his office represent Givan because the student has filed a tort claim against the state of Oklahoma regarding her allegations of sexual harassment.

U. S. restricts business with Cuba OTTAWA (AP) — Canada and Mexico have agreed to jointly oppose U.S. legislation to punish them and other nations that trade with Cuba. Canada's foreign affairs minister, Andre Ouellet, and his Mexican counterpart, Jose Angel Gurria, said the bill by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., is inappropriate under the North American Free Trade Agreement. 'We have indicated how displeased we are with the Helms' legislation," Ouellet said after the two met in Ottawa. We will work together with others to make sure that such legislation does not have consequences on third countries. Helms, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wants to make it harder for foreign businesses that trade with Cuba to do business with the United States, even if that means denial of U.S. travel visas and trade restrictions. President Clinton supports the embargo against communist Cuba but doesn't favor tightening it.

Test drug slows radiation sickness WASHINGTON (AP) — The military is testing drugs that would allow troops to fight even after exposure to radiation, such as from a nuclear blast, a Pentagon official said. Hagemann noted the drug could not reverse the potentially deadly consequences of exposure to radiation, but could allow troops to continue working for some time, Air Force Maj. Gen. Ken Hagemann, director of the Defense Nuclear Agency, said. A Defense Department official said "two commercial drugs ... are being evaluated for military use. "It's not an antidote" to radiation exposure, the official said, but rather is designed to counter the nausea and vomiting that are the initial symptoms of radiation sickness. The drugs have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the surgeon general and are now being tested by two dozen military volunteers at an Air Force base in Texas, the defense official said. The Defense Nuclear Agency will finish its reports on the testing by 1996, the official said.

Dining cops bust thieving cashiers MIAMI (AP) — Police posing as diners arrested seven cashiers at an airport restaurant in a theft ring that may have siphoned off SS million over a year. Cashiers at the American Buffet in Miami International Airport would take money customers paid for food without ringing up the sales, police said after the arrests Thursday. One cashier was found with $250 cash in her pocket; another with $397. "Some of these people are so fast you can hardly tell," said police Lt. Ed Petow. "And some of them start the minute they sit down." The Host Marriott Corp. estimates cashiers may have stolen as much as $5.1 million in the last year from the 45 airport concessions it runs. Police, who used hidden cameras to record cashier movements at American Buffet, believe other cashiers may be involved in the scheme. The cashiers were charged with organized fraud, a felony. Police plan to charge an eighth cashier.

Paris socialist threatens Assembly PARIS (AP) — Socialist Lionel Jospin said today he would swiftly dissolve the conservative-dominated National Assembly and order new legislative elections if he wins a presidential runoff next month. Though an underdog against conservative Paris Mayor Jacques Chirac in the May 7 runoff, Jospin has a chance if a majority of undecided voters swing to his side. Jospin said he would call parliamentary elections within a few weeks of taking office, but ruled out changing the electoral system in such a short period. The right has held 80 percent of the National Assembly since March 1993. Jospin said Sunday's first-round presidential vote, in which he and other leftists won 40 percent of the votes, proved voters want the assembly changed.

U.S. Air Force donates $4 million computer system to university By Darren Parker

Student Writer The UCO physics department received a $4 million computer system donated by the U.S. Air Force April 17. "The Unisys Super-Mini Computer System was acquired through the General Services Administration from a U.S. Air Force facility in Illinois," said Dr. Roger Miller of the physics department. "The computer is approximately one year old and has only about

100 hours of operating time on it," said Miller. The Super-Mini System is being kept in the library basement and will be kept in storage until the lab annex of Howell Hall is built. However, the construction of the annex could be as far as one-andone half years away, said Miller. At this time, the department doesn't have definite plans for the Unisys. However, the system has 88 gigabytes of storage and can handle major calculations, said Miller. In addition to the Unisys com-

puter, UCO will be receiving three IBM 386 personal computers. These computers were given to the university with the Unisys. The computers, which will arrive approximately one month from now, will be set up in cornputer labs and will not be limited to physics students, said Miller. The physics department was informed of the surplus computers by J.D. Scott, a government employee in Maryland, who is a former UCO student and was active in the physics department in the late 1970s.

Fraternity adopts 'more aggressive approach' with image By Cynthia Chung

Staff Writer The Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity has a vision of change—and it is a dream intend° ed to propel its members into the 21st century. As part of a plan to boost the fraternal image of all 172 chapters by 1999, Zeta Nu, the UCO chapter, began initiating steps toward new methods of operation. "We are aiming for 100 percent recruitment, 100 percent graduation and 100 percent career placement," said William Ramos, chapter adviser of ATO. "We want to adopt a more aggressive approach," he said. This is the first attempt made by a national fraternity to give its image a major facelift, said • Ramos. The blueprint outlines five major steps: recruitment, critical skills, communication, board of trustees and career placement. • Recruitment Potential members will be solicited through intensive recruitment rather than the usual "rush," said Ramos. "We will go out personally and recruit the members ourselves. This will help us choose men of character and leadership," he said. • Critical skills It is also important that ATO equip its members with critical skills, or tools necessary to enhance their job prospects, said Ramos. "This includes hands-on experience, preparation for interviews,

Bombing claims ex-Broncho By Scott Moore

Sports Writer

Scott Williams

When the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City was bombed April 19, the life of a former member of the Central Oklahoma baseball squad was taken. Former player and assistant

coach Scott Williams was inside the building on business as a salesman for a food distributor when the building exploded. He was 24. Services for Williams were held April 25 in Tuttle. Williams graduated from UCO in 1993 with a degree in business education. He played for the Bronchos under the late

Bobby Hunt as a freshman before transferring to Rose State for two years. He earned allconference honors at Rose State before returniug to UCO for his junior and senior years. After graduation, he became a student assistant under current head coach Wendell Simmons in 1994. "Scott really loved baseball

UCO takes 3 from Abilene Christian By Scott Moore

Sports Writer Central Oklahoma finished up the 1995 baseball season as a loser and a winner by taking three of five games from Abilene Christian University Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Abilene, Texas. The victories give the Bronchos a winning record of 27-25 overall but with the losses, UCO finishes the Lone Star Conference race with a 12-13 mark. Abilene Christian finishes 17-36 and 618. The two teams played a single, nineinning contest Thursday and doubleheaders on Friday and Saturday. UCO won Thursday's game 4-3 then split Friday's twin-bill, losing the first seven-

inning game 6-0 and taking the second 21. The two teams then split Saturday's doubleheader with UCO winning the first game 5-4 and losing the second 127 "We finished on a good note," said UCO head coach Wendell Simmons. "It's frustrating because in our last three conference series (West Texas A&M, Eastern New Mexico and Abilene Christian) we win four-of-five, four-offive and now three-of-five and I think that if we could have won a few more earlier conference games that we lost by one run then we might be conference champs again." The Bronchos won Thursday's game with a single run in the top of the tenth to break a 3-3 tie. Chad Tredway (4-4) picked up the win for

the Bronchos going the full ten innings. The Wildcats struck back in Friday's first game behind Mark Ferry's (2-9) complete-game, shutout performance. The Bronchos' Brian Nichols (6-3) answered in Friday's second game by allowing just one run in a completegame victory of his own. Saturday, the Bronchos won the first game by scoring a run in the top of the seventh to break a 4-4 tie. UCO's Mitch Willingham (2-1) pitched all seven innings for the complete-game win. ACU came back in Saturday's second game by pounding 12 runs and 16 hits off of Broncho pitching with Chris Larkin (1-4) collecting the win and Aaron Bennett picking up the save.

and he loved working with kids," said Simmons. "He was a hard worker and was really dedicated to sports and to kids." Williams had coached in Edmond's American Legion summer baseball leagues since 1992. He is survived by his wife, Nicole, who is six months pregnant.

Rhoades to NFL lead through New York By Mike Erwin

Sports Editor While most of the attention was focused on the Los Angeles Raiders drafting Joe Aska, another Central Oklahoma football player quietly made it to the Elton Rhoades NFL last week. Former Broncho free safety Elton Rhoades traveled to New York on Thursday to sign a free agent contract and attend a 4day mini-camp with the New York Jets. After not being picked in the NFL draft, Rhoades was invited to try out for four NFL teams. Since he wasn't drafted, no team owns his rights and Rhoades is eligible to sign with any team in the NFL. New York, though, provided him the best chance of making an NFL roster. The Jets lost three of their four starters in the defensive backfield to free agency during the off-season and selected only one defensive back in the draft, Carl Greenwood of UCLA. Rhoades, a 6-2, 195-pounder from Guthrie, led NCAA Division II with 11 interceptions as a senior last season. During his Broncho career, he picked off 18 passes to break the 14-year-old career interception record of 17, formerly held by Mike Ciskowski. As a senior, Rhoades was a NCAA Division II AllAmerican and a played in the Snow Bowl, a Division II allstar game.

Broncho golfers settle for 3rd By Mike Erwin

Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's golf team suffered through a disappointing final two rounds and finished third at the four-team Lone Star Conference Championship last week. The Bronchos were tied with Abilene Christian for first place after two rounds at The Ranch Country Club in McKinney, Texas. However, UCO shot rounds of 310 and 314 to fall into third, 20 strokes behind Abilene Christian and 10 behind East Texas State. Tarleton State finished in last place, 97 strokes behind the winners. Two Broncho golfers finished in the top six to make the All-LSC first

team. Dustin York placed second with rounds of 72, 74, 78 and 74 for a total of 298. Teammate David Hines finished third after firing rounds of 72, 75, 76 and 79 for a 302 total. East Texas State's Dean Hayhurst won medalist honors with a fourround 311. Other All-LSC performers are Darin Newhouse, Tommy Rosales and Jeff White, all from Abilene Christian.

Response to 'net job search 'fantastic'

continued from front page According to an April 19 Norman Transcript article, OU President David Boren said in an April 11 session of the OU Board of Regents that he foresaw a gradual increase in college tuition and matching state funds. Boren was unavailable for comment when this story was printed. "It would not be fair to just increase tuition and the state not increase funding," said Nigh. There is a lot of confusion over who could actually raise tuition. said Nigh. It will be up to the state government to make those decisions. "Most people don't understand the law. It's the State Legislature who determines if we get a tuition hike or not," said Nigh. John Cox, press secretary for Gov. Frank Keating, said Keating recommended tuition be increased throughout the state so students will pay for about one-third of the education costs. At this time, the Democratic Party has control over both the Oklahoma Senate and the House of Representatives, said Cox.

Staff Writer The recent launching of the Home Page on the World Wide Web of the Internet by Oklahoma's CBS affiliate, Channel 9, offers, among other things, information on job openings for students. "We launched a web site for two main reasons," said Pat Velte, the station's art director and on-line service coordinator. It was a move to find a more

innovative way to reach viewers, go beyond the restriction of reporting only local information and blend it with TV through the Internet, she said. The career opportunity section reaches out to college students especially, to better inform them of job openings at the station, she said. "It's also a way to meet new young people," she said. This is done with the use of a "web browser," a software that allows the computer user to

Velte. "We plan on expanding our areas due to the advancement in software." Dr. Jack Deskin, director of KCSU-TV 29, said the campus station gets its resource materials from Channel 9 on a daily basis. "We also receive a list of job openings from them," said , Deskin. "They send us material every day. We also get information from the National Association of College Broadcasters," said Deskin.

A degree from a nationally recognized university, devoted to teaching, can make a world of difference. Oklahoma City University is Oklahoma's independent, United Methodist related university, committed to academic excellence. Small classes, outstanding facilities and an enthusiastic faculty make OCU the choice of students from across the U.S. and around the world. Day and evening classes are offered year-round.

"The Democrats would prefer to appropriate more state funds than increase college tuition," said Cox.
