UCO hits the jackpot with $300,000 land endowment

By Roy Howe

Guest Writer A tract of Edmond land valued at nearly $300,000 has been donated to UCO by a San Francisco woman who became excited about the university after hearing that its president was a former governor and the institution has so many students in need of tuition aid.

Inez Miller learned about UCO and its students during a recent cruise from Acapulco to Miami in which UCO political science professor Dr. John George and his wife boasted

about the university, said Dr. Nancy Hughes, foundation director.

"She (Miller) said, 'That's the kind of university I want to give a gift to,"' said Hughes.

"This could easily seem just a drop in the bucket to some of the other universities with large foundations and who receive many donations.

"This is the kind of gift we really need to build up our endowment," she said.

"And that was another selling point for her," said Hughes.

The 10 acres of land to be donated is located near Second

Street and Kelly.

"Although several people have expressed an interest in buying the land, we can hold onto it or sell it," Hughes said.

"The Foundation's board of directors will make that decision.

"Our main usage of Foundation money is always scholarships."

On May 3, UCO President George Nigh, along with the university's Foundation board of trustees, will host a thank-you gathering for Miller at a local restaurant.

Remember to call your mother

T

he spring semester started and you told your parents "good-bye" as you left for your college destination.

Valentine's Day snuck up on you and you ran off with your sweetheart on a late-night excursion.

St. Patrick's Day came and you threw down some green beer with all of your Irish college buddies (maybe they weren't really Irish).

Spring Break showed up and you fulfilled your life-long dream to go to Padre or Galveston (or Ft. Lauderdale or Palm Springs for those better-off students).

Easter rolled around and you found a few eggs laying around on your way to the local church.

But you've forgotten the most important of them all—Mother's Day. In all this time we spent growing up at college, we sometimes forget the person who brought us into this world: MOM! Moms are good at all the things that don't make sense to us.

When we were kids, moms seemed to have all the answers. We slipped a little as teenagers and rebelled, but we eventually matured and realized moms didn't get dumber when we turned 13 -- it just seemed that way in our blinded foolishness. Even after 'all that our moms were still there for us — through thick and thin, the good and the bad, the sunny days and the cloudy days.

It doesn't seem right that we have to have a particular date on the calendar to remember how important our mothers are. From diapers to graduation, she always had her eye out for you. She was the peroxide on your cuts after falling off your bike; she was the soothing advice for the lovelorn after you were dumped for the first time.

Time away at college can sometimes make us forget about the little things that a mother can do for us. However, we never struggled quite like we do as college students when we were under the careful guidance of our mothers'. A mother's love can often be taken for granted just because it's always been there. May 12th is the day set aside to say "Mom, I really appreciate all you've done for me.

Thanks, and I love you."

Why can't every day be May 12th?

Student alleges foul play in elections

M

y disgust concerning the recent SGA presidential election is absolute. One would think campaigning on a college level would be decent, friendly and show integrity. It's supposed to be hard-nosed, cynical politicians of our government that are the play-dirty, underhanded types. Well, this election has proven my thoughts wrong.

Both candidates, Joacquin

Stevens and Keith Weber, had flyers posted throughout the buildings on campus. But to my revulsion, I saw several of Joacquin Stevens' flyers maligned. Not with vicious remarks, but (with) a white with blue printed sticker with words stating something to the effect, "Elect Keith Weber." They were stuck over Mr. Stevens' name on his flyers.

Mr. Weber's representatives

showed very poor taste in these actions. Not once did I find one of Mr. Weber's flyers attacked, and I looked.

It's a poor country we live in when such young, supposedly open-minded and friendly future leaders of this country have already lost the greatest quality one could have: INTEGRITY!!!

—Deborah Kuhlmann UCO student

A thank-you note for caring...

O

n behalf of the Memorial Service Committee, I would like to thank you for such a moving article concerning the memorial activities. Your article truly captured the solemn beauty of the memorial service, and I commend you for it. The committee worked very hard to ensure that the service was a respectful tribute to the victims.

I would also like to publicly thank all the people who helped with the service, the student hosts who handed out programs, ribbons and flowers, the choir and the other singers who sang so beautifully, the "readers," the candle lighters and the students who portrayed mourners, the men from the Physical Plant and the crew at Mitchell Hall who

helped set up the stage, lights and music, SGA, the UCO Print Shop, especially Krystal, and the other committee members, plus anyone else I may have inadvertently omitted. Thank you all not only for helping, but for really caring.

—Jeddie Botsford UCO Alumni Office

KUDOS Congratulations! UCO students Shogo Nakagawa and Rhonda K. Johnson have been selected by a random drawing as recipients of the UCO window sticker campaign.

All Nagagawa and Johnson have to do to claim their prizes is to prove that they have a UCO window sticker on their vehicles. Contact the Student Activities Office at 341-2980, Ext. 2363 or visit the office at Room 424 of the University Center.

ROTC makes bold strides in gay rights CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one step closer to a modified Reserve Officers Training Corp. or ROTC, program that keeps and allows in openly homosexual cadets.

On April 17, MIT faculty overwhelmingly approved a task-force recommendation that requires the university to guarantee funding to students who lose their ROTC scholarships because they are gay. MIT may be the first university in the nation to adopt such a policy.

"We did a thorough check to see what other schools were doing. We never ran into another doing this," said Alan Pierson, a MIT senior and undergraduate representative for the task force.

The military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy for homosexuals, by which the ROTC is subject, conflicts with the MIT's non-discrimination policy. The modified program is an attempt to keep the university's flagship ROTC program on campus, while at the same time, ensure it is open to all students, no matter their sexual preference.

Before full implementation, the modified program must clear one last hurdle—the Pentagon.

"There are some things that are a little troubling to us," said Dr. Steve Sellman, director of Accession Policy at the Department of Defense.

Sellman cited as trouble areas the participation of non-ROTC students in the ROTC program, changes in the ROTC curriculum by MIT and the establishing of a "litmus test" that would measure the sensitivity of ROTC commanders to MIT's policy of inclusion.

"It will be really disappointing if they are not willing to move students who are disenrolled. That's a damn bold move," said Pierson.

Proceeds from photography book to underwrite student scholarship

By Lindy Ort Student Writer The proceeds from a book sold in the University Center will benefit UCO photography students in the form of a scholarship.

Oklahoma II, a collection of landscape photographs of Oklahoma taken by David Fitzgerald, will provide one

photography scholarship for a UCO student each year.

Included in the book is an essay written by George Nigh.

Both Fitzgerald and Nigh will autograph each copy, which is available for $44.75.

Will Rogers: Courtship and Correspondence, a book of letters from Will Rogers, is available for $31.75.

Will Rogers Says... costs

$13.20. Each book will be autographed by Reba Collins, author and former UCO staff member, and Jim Rogers, son of Will Rogers.

There is no date set to end the sale of the books, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, professor of visual arts and design.

For more information, contact Adams in the Office of Outreach at 341-2980, Ext. 2432.

books in good condition are eligible for receiving cash back.

"If a student spilt coffee on it or let it sit out in the rain, we won't take them," said James Sutton, assistant bookstore/textbook manager.

"We want to put something on the shelves that other students will buy."

The amount of money students receive when selling their books is predetermined by the quantities needed for the

upcoming semester and on the inventory of upcoming stock. As long as the books are needed, the student will receive half of the new price, said Sutton.

Books not bought by the university can be purchased by national wholesale book suppliers.

Not all books can be bought back. To have the best chances of receiving money back, students should come as early as possible, said Sutton.

By College Press Service PULLMAN, Wash.—Washington State University (WSU) students in search of a meaty course soon can travel straight to the source — a cattle ranch.

Starting this summer, students at WSU will conduct beef research for college credit at nearby Flying T Ranch. The 360-acre cattle ranch, worth about $1.8 million, was recently donated to WSU by business magnate Max Baxter and his wife, Thelma, for whom the ranch is named.

The couple will continue to live at the sprawling ranch, to be rechristened the Flying T-WSU Research and Learning Ranch, while WSU scientists interbreed several types of cattle.

Students majoring in animal sciences plan to intern at the ranch and help scientists develop a savory prime beef for restaurants in the United States and Japan

Golf, tennis to host championships

By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer UCO will serve as the host institution for the NCAA Division II Men's and Women's Tennis National Championships May 9-12 and the NCAA II Men's Golf Championships May 21-24.

The tennis tournaments will take place at the Kickingbird Tennis Center, the UCO Courts and Oak Tree Country Club.The golf competition will happen at Oak Tree Country Club's West Course.

UCO previously hosted the Men's Tennis National Tournament in 1991, '92 and `93, but the university will hold the women's tournament and the golf tournament for the first time.

UCO athletic director and golf coach John "Skip" Wagnon said that these and other previous experiences hosting NCAA events helped UCO attract these tournaments.

"We've had a good record of

hosting national events," said originally in Kansas City, but a Wagnon. "We've had tennis fungus caused damage to the national tournaments here; grass.

UCO scales down team - By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer The record-setting Central Oklahoma track team will compete in several "high-quality meets" with a smaller team in preparation for the NCAA Division II Championships.

The team will travel to Arlington, Texas, on May 4 to participate in the TexasArlington Invitational. After that will be the Emporia State Invitational in Emporia, Kan. May 11 and the Last Chance Meet May 18 at a site to be announced.

Then comes the National Championships in Riverside, Calif. May 23-25.

UCO track coach Paul Parent said that the quality of the competition caused him to scale his team down to possible NCAA II national qualifiers for the final three meets.

"Sometimes they don't want your kids there that aren't running national championship times because they want to have real high-quality meets," said

Parent.

Chericka Bartells, Abel Kahuni, Stanley Ridley, Frank Simon, Chris Weilert and Cathy Williams each have earned consideration for the national meet by recording provisional times or distances. Damian Ross, Quendell Miller and Paul Givens will join, those five in the upcoming meets.

Four of those eight have set school records. Bartells (long jump), Ridley (110-meter high hurdles), Weilert (javelin throw) and Williams (shot put) each set new marks in their respective events this spring.

While some of his athletes have competed in several events during the season, the UCO team will concentrate in one or two events, said Parent.

"Now you're just going to go and run the races (that) you're going to qualify (for) in the nationals or try to place at nationals," Parent said. "You would hope that the times would go down and they would gain more confidence in what they're capable of doing."

Bits and pieces...

By Jeff Packham Sports Editor Is Albert Belle ever going to stop? It looks as if counseling is beyond him. He combines his best on-field season with his worst year off-the-field, which is impressive in both regards.

Then he starts off this season by pulling another stunt on Easter.

The latest incident concerning the allegations by the Sports Illustrated photographer (who claims that a Belle-thrown ball struck his hand) make it very difficult to defend Belle's actions. It may be time for Cleveland Indian's management to give up.., Ken Griffey, Jr. for President? A viable president, possibly, but where does that leave All-World Greg Maddux?

A celestial nomination?...

Report came about a town near

Orlando that had banned the playing of baseball. Seems that some grumpy forefathers outlawed it early in the 1900's and the descendants had forgotten the law existed. The law was repealed last week by a special committee after the outdated law was found. One wonders that had more cities instituted the ban in recent years then maybe the bigwigs in major league baseball might try a little harder to get along...

The Miami Heat's Alonzo Mourning boasted that the record-setting Chicago Bulls would be intimidated by the resurgent Heat. Given the recent drug bust at Mourning's Potomac, Md. home, one wonders what Mourning was on when he made that statement.

It's apparent he's not going to try to back up that profound

statement on the court...

Mike Tyson is in the news again. Seems that women provide much more of a challenge for the former boxing champion than do 300-pound men. However, the police on the case couldn't find enough evidence (testimony of the witnesses) to warrant prosecution. Despite his found innocence, Tyson should be more careful in the future...

Speaking of woman-beater's, Lawrence Phillips was selected sixth in the National Football League draft by the St. Louis Rams. They wanted to add more punch to their offense...

First, 0. J. Simpson. Then, Warren Moon. Now Phillips and Christian Peter (both from Nebraska) join the NFL I know it's a violent sport, but this is a bit much.

The Lady Bronchos finished with a 32-5 mark.

Four players were named to the All-conference team. Setter Amy Hansen, middle blocker Kate O'Neill and outside hitter Stacey Schwartz all were named to the second team squad.

Outside hitter Julie Kelly was selected as honorable mention.

Hansen earned All-conference academic honors CROSS COUNTRY • The cross country squad had two men finish in the top-20 at South Central Regional. Frank Simon had a 12th place finish and Abel Kahuni took 18th.

Simon and Kahuni earned AllLSC honors leading the Bronchos to a second place finish in the conference.

For the women, Andrea Haley took 49th to lead UCO. The squad competed under the

leadership of graudate assistant coach Brain Calloway. Head coach Paul Parent had quadruple bypass heart surgery on Aug. 17 but returned to work by Oct. 17.

GOLF The UCO gold team finished the fall season with two second place finishes and a first place performance. The squad was ranked fifth in NCAA Division II. TENNIS Sophomore Charles Bornman and senior Junior Brown led the Bronchos by winning the Midwest Regional and finishing third in the national tournament in doubles. Bornman also placed sixth in the singles competition.

Freshman Jana Vnouckova had a smashing debut by winning the regional with six straight wins and finishing fourth in the national tourney.

The Bronchos had won the Division II -title the past four years.

Mothers are a cut above the rest

By Jessica Halliburton

Everybody owes their mother a thank-you for their life. I owe my Mom one for teaching me how to live it.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

Staff Writer Have you ever tried so hard to prepare for an interview that when you're asked a question you didn't think about, you're left completely speechless?

Recently, I was chosen to sit before a committee of five professional journalists from around the state and answer the questions that I've been asked many times before. "Why did you choose to be a journalist?" "What do you like and not like about it?" And so on.

As I was striding right along thinking, "This isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be," Barn! Right out of the blue, someone asked me how I found the time to work 20 hours a week, write for The Vista, go to school and take care of two kids.

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally managed to mumble, "I have no idea, there's really no method to my madness."

Driving home, I pondered on this question, half mad at myself for forgetting to prepare for it, half mad at myself because I didn't give credit where credit was due.

It dawned on me that even though I have a lot of ambition for myself as well as the desire to provide a good life for my children, my mother is the reason why I have the strength to do any of it.

Growing up, she was the main support of the family — both emotionally and financially. I saw her put her needs aside to provide our family with things we needed as well as things we didn't need.

I remember a tired woman who worked a lot of

But as hard as I try, I can't remember anything she did for herself. Absolutely nothing.

She often says to me that she doesn't know how I do it all either. I laugh to myself because she really has no clue how much of my success I owe to her.

She also doesn't know how thankful my own daughters will someday be when I tell them how she taught me to be a good mother to them and to be strong and stay true to my priorities, even when there's no end

KCSC forges through tough times ahead

By Rob Gallavan Staff Writer Despite the fact that KCSC, the university's radio station, offers its more than 60,000 listeners with the only classical music in central Oklahoma, its general manager says the station is facing hard times.

In the past four years, KCSC has seen its university funding shrink from $112,410 to $25,000, losing in the process an equal amount of matching federal funds.

The station receives its federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), but the CPB funding is being cut on the national level as well.

"It's kind of a double whammy," said Brad Ferguson, general manager. "When your university cuts your funding, the government funding is proportionally cut."

Last year, the CPB gave $270 billion to qualified stations. Three quarters of that money went to television, with the rest given to public radio.

"When the university started to cut our budget, simultaneously the Congress — Newt Gingrich in particular — decided that he was interested in cutting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting," said Ferguson.

"That didn't happen. They're going to fund CPB through fiscal year 2001. At the end of that time, they're going to set up a trust fund to distribute the same cash as before."

The funding for the trust fund will start at $1 billion, but Ferguson thinks the existing amount is not enough.

That means the CPB has to wean some stations from the litter.

In order to remain qualified with the CPB, stations east of Eisenhower Elementary School between Hefner have to show they have the audience and fund raising and Britton Roads, will reach an altitude of about 805 ability to stay afloat. feet and the rate for renting space runs about $2 a foot.

Meteorology at your doorstep...

UCO's first weather station amasses data on wind speed, humidity

By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer What's the weather like?

UCO administrators are now able to answer that question in greater detail, thanks to a remote weather station.

The station, near the Business Communications Buildings, looks like a white gas meter. But it monitors wind speed and direction, precipitation, temperature, relative humidity and evaporation rate.

The data is recorded every minute and stored in memory.

Data is downloaded daily by Weather Affirmation, the company leasing the station to UCO, said Ross Dixon of Weather Affirmation.

The service costs $1,000 a month and is being split between the two contractors, who are each paying $500, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president for administration.

The station was brought in to "manage projects on a day-byday basis and adjust the schedule so there are no problems at the end," Widener said.

-The station has its own unlisted phone line for downloading the data and is electrically powered from a nearby pole.

A battery back-up will provide power for 72 hours in the event of a power failure, Dixon said. It can withstand temperatures to 40 below zero and winds up to 150 mph, he said.

The spot near the Communications and Business Buildings was chosen because it is centrally located for the construction on campus and it isn't blocked by buildings, Dixon said.

He added that on-site readings are more accurate since weather varies from place to place.

Weather Affirmation has three certified meteorologists, including Dixon. Dixon does the daily forecast on OETA and was formerly a broadcaster on Channel 5.

The weather station isn't only the first one at UCO, but it is also the first one for Weather Affirmation.

"While I was talking, the sky got black and the thunder got louder. Then there was calm followed by the sirens."

Reherman went directly to the Edmond Command Post Center and spent the following 24 hours with other disaster agencies in assessing damages and securing the area.

UCO President George Nigh, then governor of Oklahorria, toured the disaster area with Reherman the next morning.

"I saw a lot of personal suffering and tragedy," said Reherman. "People's lives were changed in a split second."

Reherman's first-hand experience with the Edmond tornado reaffirmed his belief in taking tornado warnings seriously.

"After seeing what a tornado can do to a physical structure, I tell people, 'Don't blow it off — take shelter when you get the warning.' In an instant your life can be taken," he said.

It's advice Ray says she takes seriously now. "When I hear the words 'tornado warning,' I stop and find out exactly where it is." eko

Fresh Faces m

Faculty Senate begins another year • with new committee, agenda

By Mary Reinauer

Staff Writer The battle-weary faculty senate closed the 1994-95 year April 25 by voting in new officers and certifying new senators for 1996-97.

Dr. Roberta Sloan, associate professor of oral communications, won the president's position with 20 of the 37 votes.

Sloan, who served as vice president for 1995-96. accepted the presidential gavel for the coming year from Dr. Stephen Law, chairperson/professor of humanities and philosophy.

She considers the presidency as an "opportunity to provide the leadership necessary for us to continue our strong active voice on behalf of the major constituencies at the university."

Sloan encouraged the senate to "speak with a strong independent voice and in the most positive of ways as we define our university mission and spirit moving towards the 21st century."

Faculty development, reasonable teaching loads, faculty and staff raises and representation of faculty interests during the change in university presidents are among the challenges for the new year, she said.

Law said the two years he served as president have produced a renewed senate focus on the university budget process.

Differing priorities between faculty and administration as evidenced by administrative allocations into less academic funds resulted in plans for

more effective senate involvement, he said.

Law said Nigh seemed to favor spending on "bricks and mortar and special projects."

"The faculty and staff of this institution are bearing the burden of having funded these projects through the continuing cost of living erosion of their salaries."

The reorganization of the budget and constitution, parliamentary procedure and elections committee into two separate committees will enable the senate to provide more input into the university budget development process, said Law. Dr. Jere Roberson, professor of history and geography, will serve as vice president, and a lastminute- nominee, Dr. Anne Gleason, assistant professor of finance, won the reporter/historian spot with 19 votes.

One senator noted that Gleason, who is pregnant, was a "two for one package."

Not all the banter was that lighthearted though, as the senate tried to work through issues from budgets to tenure and salaries.

Among the new business 'was a resolution that introduces student representation on the College/Student Technology Fee Committee.

The senate discussed an April 11 meeting with Nigh in which he told of his plans to submit a "steady state" budget.

At that meeting, Nigh also addressed the concern of faculty salary erosions of 6.7 percent and discussed his goal of replacing the money drained from the reserve budget.

An 800 phone number will be available May 17 for UCO students to call and receive their grades — days before the university has time to mail them out.

This service, provided by the student technology fee, allows students to check their semester and overall GPA, whether they made the Dean's or President's list, and

if they have been placed on academic probation or suspension.

To access grades by phone, students need to call 1-800-599-2144 and key in their social security number and personal identification number, which is their date of birth.

All the information is completely confidential, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management/registrar. At least 30 phone

lines are provided with the service, he said.

Along with the academic information callers will receive, they will listen to a 60second advertisement from companies sponsoring the service.

The cost of the service is $5,000 annually.

According to Legere, this is a low price, considering that it would cost $50,000$100,000 without the sponsorship.

Posters will be placed around campus to notify students of the phone service.

UCO to host its first Chautauqua Traveling tent show will present workshops, music, history

By Lisa Tatum .

Student Writer

Five historical characters will come to life on campus June 4-8, when UCO hosts its first Chautauqua.

The free event, sponsored by the UCO Office of Outreach, is made possible through a grant from the Oklahoma Foundation for the Humanities.

Humanities scholars from five universities will assume the roles of famous Americans as they lecture and interact with visitors.

There will also be musical entertainment and workshops presented by the characters during the five-day event.

Chautauquas originated in 1874 as traveling tent

RESUMES Interview Training SPECIAL STUDENT RATES

shows held for recreational and educational purposes. The shows spent several days at a time in towns across the Midwest and Great Plains providing lectures, concerts and other cultural events.

The availability of radio and movie entertainment in the 1930s caused declining interest in Chautauquas, but they were revived in the 1970s as a forum for presenting historical discussions.

Modern Chautauquas still take place outdoors in tents. Characters speak for about an hour and take questions from the audience. Characters appearing at the Edmond Chautauqua are: Sam Houston, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Edith Wharton, Lucy Stone and Thomas Jefferson.

Volunteers needed to staff camp for autistic children

T

his summer will be the special education program's 10th year at UCO. The 'Oklahoma City Chapter for Autistic Citizens will sponsor a camp for autistic children from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. June 21.

The group is seeking special education majors or anyone else who wish to learn more about autism to volunteer.

The children will work with computers, participate in art activities, travel to the Omniplex and swim at the YMCA in Edmond.

Dr. Edward Collins, professor of special education at UCO and coordinator of the program, said autism is considered a pervasive development disorder that affects all areas of a child's life.

Autistic children don't like to be touched. They often treat people as inanimate objects and have poor communication skills, said Collins.

Children under three years of age who attend the camp should be accompanied by parents.

For more information, call 341-2980, Ext. 5269.

UCO to honor retiring faculty, staff with Cajun-style party Uighteen retiring UCO 1.:/faculty and staff will be honored May 9 at a retirment/end-of-school party to be held from 6p.m. until 9 p.m. at the University Center.

Talk about killer classes. Two professors, one at the 1 University of Louisville and the other at the University of Minnesota, are bringing their experiences in solving real-life crimes to the classroom.

At the University of Louisville, students in Ronald Holmes' justice administration class, "Profiling Homicide" are asked to solve a grisly crime based on a real case. Holmes, a deputy coroner, recreates the crime scene in a hotel room, complete with a department store mannequin-victim.

The students in his popular class take turns stopping by the hotel room on the exam day to look for clues, take photos and get statements from investigators. Students are graded, he said "on what they see and obviously what they miss."

Holmes, who police have relied on to help solve serial murder and rape cases, said the ability to profile criminals and to use reason in crime-solving is tested better that way than through a traditional exam.

Susan Hays, a Louisville senior, was one of about 180 students who took Holmes' course last semester. In Holmes' class, "you get more . . . I don't want to say 'hands-on experience,'" Hays says.

Meanwhile, psychiatrist Carl Malmquist, who has personally evaluated more than 500 murderers, teaches a course called "Killing" at the University of Minnesota.

Malmquist draws the course material from cases he has worked as a psychiatric consultant to the Minneapolis District Court. He said fictional murderers never seem as fascinating as the ones he has met." ,

Professor retires on last musical note

By Kelly Crow Student Writer Dr. Roger W. Strong, 58, director of the orchestra and stringed instrument division at UCO, has announced he will retire at the end of the summer after spending 25 years with the university.

The violin instructor and UCO Symphony Orchestra conductor founded the String Chamber Ensemble shortly after his arrival in 1971.

Strong's professional music

career began with a bachelor of music degree from Oklahoma City University in 1960, a master's degree from the University of Southern California in 1963 and a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma in 1968.

Before he began teaching, Strong served in several professional orchestras as a first violinist or concertmaster and performed solo and chamber recitals.

He has served as guest conductor, adjudicator and

clinician at festivals and competitions across the U.S., and said he plans to continue after retirement.

Throughout his career, Strong said he has tried to "cultivate a love in my students for what they're doing and stretch them beyond what they thought was possible.

"Many of them I've known for years...(and) it's been fun to see how they've developed into professional musicians...I will miss them very much."

1929-1945, a traveling exhibit, will be on display at the Edmond Historical Society Museum through May 25. Call 340-0078 for information.

The Downtown Edmonds Art Festival will be held during the day from May 3-5.

Kirkpatrick Center to exhibit memorabilia from historical Olympics through Aug. 31 Calling all Olympic fans at UCO, this year you're invited to participate in an annual exhibit at the Kirkpatrick Center Museum Complex, which celebrates the culture and history of Greece and the Olympics, which had originated there.

The exhibit will run from July 13 to August 31 and the cost is included in the general admission to the complex.

Assorted memorabilia of past Olympic games is needed for the show and donors will be acknowledged by a description card accompanying the exhibit.

This year's program, "Discoveries!" focuses on Greece and the 100th anniversary of the "modern" Olympics.

Those who feel they have a suitable item for the exhibition should contact the Kirkpatrick Center at 427-5461 or 1-800-LEARN-KC, Ext. 239.

Free Kitten, Gordon scratch the distortion barrier—again Conic Youth, the name sends thrills up and down my spine.

When guitarist/singer Thurston Moore released his solo album Psychic Hearts it was a good day.

Then I heard rumors of a project by bassist/singer Kim Gordon.

Those rumors are true, and Free Kitten is, in a word, awesome. Listening to their first release Nice Ass at dangerous decibel levels, I felt the deep seated resentment rise from the bottom of my combat boots as the line "I'm sick of Stone Temple Pilot ji--" airs out for the alternative crowd.

Most of the 15 tracks hit straight and hard , but two tracks carry a heavy influence from rap, and track eight will

appeal to anyone who has ever on vocals Sonic Youth fans watched Green Acres. should feel right at home. 4 The Album also features a seven second blur of guitar —By Paul Eddy tacked to the end which helps to Staff Writer boost the total time to just over 32 minutes.

Frankly, Free Kitten sounds like Sonic Youth being fronted Rating:*

by Kim Gordon for the whole album instead of Moore.

Unfortunately, Nice Ass is hard to find and in most cases a special order is required.

Watch out alternative world, Reviews are rated on Free Kitten is set to rip your the five star scale. Five guts to shreds with hard driving is the best possible emotional and mental angst rating and one is the disguised as music mixed with least. appropriately meaningless, casual sex.

Rest at ease fans, with distorted guitars, driving drums, hard bass lines and Kim Gordon
