Study shows 6 'teams' favor 5th College

Parking lots, streets close for construction David L. Hanigar Student Writer

Piles of shredded asphalt and orange earth temporarily replace many of the university streets and parking lots as construction for the new central plant continues. The parking lots and related streets and walkways to the Communications Building, the Student Health Center and the Art Building are closed and should be uprooted by July 15, said Nick Widener, executive director of special projects. The parking lot north of the Old North Building should be gone by August 15. Other excavations will not emerge until next spring, Widener said. "We're going to have a mess," said Widener, regarding traffic between the buildings. A temporary walkway will be con-

structed allowing access to the buildings until construction is completed. Handicap access will also be considered, said Widener. A large ditch circling the university grounds will eventually replace much of the area under construction. Along with water lines for new fire hydrants and fiberoptic cables, the ditch will contain heating and cooling lines that connect to a new $6,795,000 central plant capable of serving

the new buildings and the older buildings as their systems fail, said Widener. Although the construction will create an inconvenience to many, Widener said the new southeastern parking lot may be accessible before fall and the gravel parking areas east of the Liberal Arts Building will be paved and completed for the fall term. A new parking map should be out by the middle of next week.

A study to determine if a College of Fine Arts is feasible for the university has cornpleted its first hurdle with six individual teams supporting, in concept, the need for the fifth branch. This finding is consistent with a campuswide survey in December where respondents expressed a two-to-one margin in favor of the new college, said Terry May, assistant vice president for academic affairs and coordinator of the study. "There are, however, some significant budget and policy issues which have to be addressed," May said. The concept calls for pulling some programs from the College of Liberal Arts to form the new college. Reasons behind the split involve strengthening the fine arts programs and fundraising. Fifty-four faculty and staffmembers from UCO comprise eight teams to study the idea. The six "functional teams" investigated issues involving a new college's budget, YSee COLLEGE, Back Page

UCO decides against Regents' fee increase Roy Howe Staff Writer

With students escaping a tuition hike proposed by the State Regents for Higher Education, a fee increase at most of the state's colleges and universities is aimed to make up the difference. At its regular meeting May 27, the State Regents OK'd fee increases related to certain classroom and campus activities. The hike in fees came after the legislature failed to act on a tuition increase. With four hours remaining in the legislative session, regent Chairman Glenn Cox said intervention from a higher source was needed for lawmakers to raise class costs. "If there ever were a need for an eleventh-hour miracle, I think now is the time," he said, regarding the legislature raising the ceiling on tuition. The fee increases could cost an addi-

tional $24 per credit hour for students at some of the state's learning sites, but the University of Central Oklahoma's fees will not increase. Western Oklahoma State College, Tulsa Junior College, Oklahoma State University Technical Branch and UCO all chose not to increase fees which are charged in addition to tuition. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs, said that fees will remain the same at UCO due to new fees imposed last year. "I think the general concern is that last year we had fee increases from two new fees: a library fee and a parking fee. We as an institution didn' t want to come back and increase fees," he said. Currently, UCO charges five fees besides tuition: A library fee at $2.50 per credit hour, an activity fee at $4 per credit hour, a facility fee at $2 per credit hour, a $15 one-time admission fee and a yearly parking fee costing from $10 to $25

per semester. At its meeting, the State Regents for Higher Education also allocated $557.7 million toward the state's 26 institutes of higher learning for the next fiscal year which begins July 1. UCO is earmarked for $28.3 millionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same amount allotted for the current fiscal year. The 1994-1995 statewide appropriations show a $1.4 million increase compared to the current fiscal year. A statewide budget cut took a bite out of higher education's current budget. "Our appropriation falls short of last year's $575.2 million reached before last year's 3.3 percent budget cut," said Hans Brisch, regent chancellor. "I'm pleased we did not get a cut, but I'm looking toward next year...," Brisch said, regarding funding from the state legislature for higher education. The legislature pulled $25.7 million from

its "rainy day" reserve last month to help fund higher education. "Funding was tight this year and we appreciate the effort put forth to secure a basically level appropriation for higher education," said Brisch, who acknowledged lawmakers' struggle to fund House Bill 1017, as well as fiscal constraints related to corrections and juvenile justice. The state higher education funds support academics, student support, financial aid programs and other special programs for more than 230,000 Oklahoma students. Included in the appropriations are the state's financial aid programs which received $23.4 million and includes $150,000 to start a regional university scholarship program. Assistance is based on student's achievement and financial need. Higher education institutions will now draft budgets for the coming year. Plans call for budgets to be submitted for State Regents' approval at its June 29 meeting.

THE VISTA EDITORIAL

'Do you mind if I smoke?' A nonsmoker's right to breathe smoke-free air supersedes a smoker's freedom to smoke in public. While smoking itself is not always offensive to the nonsmoker, second-hand smoke is a documented health hazard. While an all-out ban on smoking is not likely, many smokers believe they they should be free to smoke in public places without restriction, and say things like, "It' s a free country and I'll smoke if I want to," or "If nonsmokers don' t like it, they can move." Yet, the American Cancer Institute has recently concluded that second-hand smoke is a hazardous air pollutant. Heart and Lung Association studies show that second-hand smoke increases nonsmokers' chances of developing respiratory cancer or contracting other respiratory related medical conditions. On the subways in Manhattan, there are posters in the subway cars which read, "If you can smell it, it may be killing you," written inside a stream of smoke wafting up from a cigarrette sitting in an ashtray. Yet, ad campaigns make smoking look "cool" and industry lobbyists fight to keep ingredients off of packaging, while keeping smokers in the dark about exactly what they are smoking, and trying to lure in a new generation of smokers addicted to nicotine and buying tobbacco products. Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop contradicted the industry's claim and helped to instigatelegislation that forced the industry to label tobacco products with various Surgeon General warnings. One warning reads, "Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risk to your health." These warnings are written on every package of cigarrettes that a consumer purchases. Morality is not the govenments business, and many would agree the govenment is not attempting to dictate what is right and wrong. Legislators are not attempting to remove a person' s freedom to smoke â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are only trying to protect the rights of those who do not.

UCO student voices complaints, praise

he best thing, in my opinion, about this university is reasonable tuition fees. As an international student, of course I found that the tuition fee in America is incomparable to that of my country. The tuition fee here is up to 200 times more than what I used to pay in my country. This seems to be a terrible comparison. However, I found that what I have been paying here for the tuition is acceptable. It is only about $130 per credit hour. I used to pay in the previous university in Kansas about $230 per credit hour. I find that the safety on campus is well managed. There are enough police officials. What impressed me the most is the preparation of the walking guards at night. I never saw these in my previous university. It seems to me that this university is profit oriented. One visible example is parking lots. Especially the public ones that are supposed to be free for students. I was quite amazed that the students here need to pay $15 per semester for

parking. Moreover, there are some parking lots with meters for visitors. We are students and have already paid for the tuition and various kinds of fees. The university is supposed to provide this kind of convenience for us without any other payment. I believe that this is unfair for students. Our parking lots should be free to students. Another thing that makes me view this university as profit oriented is the copy machines in the library. Most of the research and term papers done by either ins tructors or students are highly dependent on periodical documents. This kind of document can not be checked out from the library. As a result, we need to duplicate them by using the copy machines located in the library. I believe that the university should be education oriented not a business oriented institution. It should provide convenience and encouragement for study and research. It should be aimed for intellectual growth instead of financial growth. The next disappointment that I

have is also from the library. As mentioned previously, our research is dependent on periodical publishing. Most of these documents are transformed to microfilms. As a result, we need the machines for copying from microfilms. Ironically, there are only six machines and one of them is eternally sick. When we make a copy from this machine, we will get a kind of oily paper. More than that, there will be a couple of machines labeled "Out of Service." The only suggestion for this misery is that we need more copy machines for microfilm. The last suggestion that I would like to make here is about the ratio of students to instructors. Right now we have up to 56 students in many classes. It will be better for instructors to get more attention from students if there are a fewer number of students in the class. Students themselves will gain more benefit and attention from the instructor as well.

Reader gives advice 'make it happen'

read your editorial in May 5 The Vista and felt compelled to respond. I am 61 years old and recently was retired by a large company. I am returning to college to obtain a teacher certification in Business Education having received my degree from OS U some years ago. I can certainly identify with your editorial comments. I have been in the military and worked for several companies since receiving my degree. I have been caught up in changing jobs/career fields

because of my own choice and some due to downsizing and therefore have been put in the same position as you are now in-at even an older age! When someone tells you everything is going to be alright, it's ok, or everything will be fine, it does have ahollow sound, always did to me. I think it does to you also. I guess these three little words comes to my mind now. They are: MAKE IT HAPPEN!! Gosh, believe me, this takes in a lot of territory but really that is what it boils down to. Whatever

you want- a job, promotion, retirement-whatever-you must make it happen! Hardwork, contacts, continuing education-whatever. You may have to adjust-adjustadjust-adjust-but "make it happen." An adjustment may mean relocating to a place absent of friends-may need more trainingmay have to be patient (boy that's hard for me). I won't say "Good luck"-just make it happen. -0. Cox UCO Student

"Students taking courses at these schools will know up front how courses will transfer to UCO," said Guinn. DARS will also aid students thinking of changing their majors, showing them what courses they are lacking and those which have been fulfilled. UCO purchased the system from Miami University at Oxford Ohio. The system has been in the planning and testing stages for almost two years. "It is a really neat program. It can do a lot of complex things like detect repeat courses," said Suzanne Underwood, UCO academic advisor. "It can articulate transfer courses, it knows what requirement it fills. It will be good for the university." "The report is easy to read and is the Cadillac of computerized degree audits," said Guinn.

Downtown Oklahoma City will be filled with sightseers, money and Native American culture tomorrow, marking the kickoff of the eighth annual Red Earth Festival. An event like the festival takes a lot of work to put together and Red Earth Inc. seeks volunteers each year, said Carlita Robinson, the new president of the First American Student Association (FASA) at the University of Central Oklahoma. This year, Robinson plans to offer her services as a volunteer. Although FASA is not going as a club, many of the members have attended the festival in the past, said Robinson. Last year about half the members attended, she said. "This is my first time to go, I haven't been able to go before," said Robinson.

Red Earth not only brings recognition to the concentration of well-known Native American artists, but also brings an estimated $8.2 million economic impact on the metropolitan area for 1994, the economic impact analysis report provided by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce predicted. Also, an estimated 2,000 participants will bring the Native American heritage to life through their art and dancing. The Festival kicks off with the Red Earth Parade at 11:30 a.m. through the streets of downtown Oklahoma City. The artist booths will be open 12 p.m. - 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday. The dance competitions will be held at the Myriad Arena from 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday.

Thatcher Hall undergoes 'mini museum' restoration Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer Thatcher Hall' s days as a men's dormitory became a part of the University of Central Oklahoma's history at the close of the 1994 spring semester, but the old building is not doomed to destruction. The planned renovations to Thatcher Hall include the Edmond Language Institute, offices for financial aid and high school/college relations and the Thatcher Lounge which will show memorabilia from Thatcher Hall' s dorm days, said Carroll Van Duyn, director of resident housing at UCO. When renovations on the third floor of Thatcher Hall began last year, residing students were asked to move to Murdaugh Hall or East Hall and most of them did. But, 11 residents chose to endure the noisy renovators and remain in the dorm rooms they called home, said Van Duyn. "Thatcher Hall was the oldest men' s dormitory on the UCO campus," said Mary L. Bond, archivist for UCO's Chambers Library. It was completed along with Murdaugh Hall in January of 1937, said Bond. "We should remember and preserve our past for those in the future," said Dale Reeder, a UCO alumnus who lived in Thatcher Hall. "When I lived in Thatcher, it was the elite. All the guys wanted to live in Thatcher Hall." Two uncles and two cousins of Reeder' s also attended college at UCO and lived in Thatcher Hall, said Reeder.

"I think the students will enjoy seeing what the rooms were like back in the '30s when Thatcher was built," said Kunc. "We want to make a kind of mini museum." Kunc said they recently got permission to proceed, and that the effort to gather Thatcher Hall memorabilia has just began.

An independent photographic art show featuring the works of artists from the University of Central Oklahoma opens tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. and will run through June 29. The show is the cooperative effort of Mark Zimmerman, photo technician at the University of Central Oklahoma, and other photokraphy enthusiasts at UCO and will be located at Carpenter Square Theatre, 400 West Main in Oklahoma City. With all the good work that he saw passing through the labs, Zimmerman believed UCO photography students needed a show without the limitations and restrictions like judging or competition that most shows have, said

Zimmerman. "Eleven people responded and sent their works in," he said. Admission is free and open to all, said Zimmerman. There are about 60 works on display, and some participants may put their works up for sale, said Zimmerman. "There aren't any unifying themes, just we're all from UCO, there aren't any limitations, just works that we're proud of," said Chris Smith, a j unior photographic arts major at UCO and a participant in the show. Also, those who present an invitation will receive two for one tickets for the play "The Boys Next Door" at Carpenter Square Theatre, said Zimmerman.

Regents approve increase for non-credit courses By Roy Howe Staff Writer

In one of the highest per credithour enrollment fee hikes ever, remedial classes, designed to prepare students for college level courses, were approved for increases up to $24 per credit hour more than their current rate. The State Regents for Higher Education approved the increase to begin this fall at its regular meeting May 27. They hope to recoup some of the taxpayers' dollars used to conduct these classes. "We cannot continue to use our money for education towards remedial courses," said regent Gary Smith with the State Regents for Higher Education. Each institution has the option to impose the remedial fee hike or not.

KAPLAN RULES

The regional universities, which includes the University of Central Oklahoma, currently charge $40.39 per credit hour for remedial courses. This price could jump to $60.39 per hour. And the state's two-year colleges and technical branches were given the OK to increase remedial course costs by $13 and $18.50 per credit hour, respectively. Beginning this fall, remedial courses at UCO will be taught by 12 instructors from Rose State College. Students attending remedial courses atUCO will enroll at UCO and pay Rose State College's offcampus tuition cost plus the recently approved increase, said Bill Brown, associate vice president for academic affairs.

Rose State College's off-campus tuition, $35 per credit hour, plus the $13 increase approved by the regents will cost students $48 per credit hour for remedial courses at UCO. A study conducted for the State Regents during May 1993 shows that one out of every three students who enter college in Oklahoma is not sufficiently prepared for higher education coursework when they are admitted. According to the study, colleges and universities are devoting $18.7 million to prepare students for college-level courses after they finish high school. "When one considers that taxpayers have already paid for these courses at the high school level, the cost of remedial college

courses becomes amplified," State Regents vice chairman Glenn Cox has said. "Paying twice for the same classes is unfair to the taxpayers and to college students whose higher education resources are being used to teach what are essentially high school classes," Cox said. The regents' study shows that during the 1992 fall semester, higher education institutions in Oklahoma provided remedial classes to 18 percent of the students admitted directly from high school and to 44 percent of the students admitted by the adult admissions policy. Remediation by subject area at Oklahoma institutions shows that

mathematics, with 65 percent, topped the list in 1992. Twenty percent of the remedial classes taken were in English and 10 percent involved Developmental Reading. Science resulted in 5 percent of the remedial courses being taught. Students entering UCO between the ages of 18 and 21 are admitted only after their high school core curriculum and American College Testing Program (ACT) scores are examined. Any entering student with a score below 20 on any of the four areas in their ACT test or with a deficiency in their core curriculum must be tested at the university's Learning Resources Center.

'Dumb Okies'? Students, faculty travel to 'beat' of New York City "Oh these dumb, dumb, DUMB Okies, they'll never change, how com-pletely and how unbelievably dumb, the moment it comes to act, this paralysis, scared, hysterical, nothing frightens 'ern more than what they want..." Looking back over his shoulder, the driver, University of Central Oklahoma Assistant English Professor Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, talked loudly to a young woman sitting in the back of the van. "Carolyn, read us that quote again!" he said. Carolyn, reading from Jack Kerouac's classic "Beat" novel "On the Road," recited it melodramatically and mockingly to the 10 other passengers again. "It's nice to how how these writers will feel about us," one van member said sarcastically. And this was how the trip to New York began. Three UCO faculty members and 20 UCO graduates and undergraduates drove from "ground zero"â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the UCO campus, 5 a.m. Sunday, May 15â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Park Avenue in New York City for a week long conference at New York University in Greenwich Village. The conference, The Beat Generation: Legacy and Celebration showcased writers and musicians of the Beat Movement in the city where it all began. Participants in the conference included Allen Ginsberg (Howl), Ray Manzarek (formerly of the musical group the Doors ), Gregory Corso (Gasoline), Jan Kerouac (daughter of the late Jack Kerouac), Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Hunter Thompson, Michael McClure, Ed Sanders and a brief phone interview of William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch, Junky, Queer). Dr. Hochenauer presented an academic paper at the conference, titled "The Lost Pilgrimages of Dean Moriarty," about Kerouac's novel On the Road, known as the "bible" of the beat movement, and how it related to Route 66 and travel today. Hochenauer, like many other writers, compared today's "Generation X" of "twentysomethings" with the angst, rebellion, artistic freedom and drug culture of "Beat literature" from the '40s to early '60s. "It shows people of Generation X that there remains artistic outlets they can employ to express honest and sometimes bleak feelings," Hochenauer said. "We had photographs taken with many of the writers... and we met with Ann Charters, the well-known biographer of Kerouac," said Hochenauer, "It was amazing how friendly and receptive the writers, artists and musicians were." UCO graduate student Tim Morales said the conference was better for him than anything that he could study in class. "It's one thing to discuss a novel or poem in class, and it's quite another (to) have a discussion with the person who actually wrote it as you look over the skyline of New York," said Morales. Some UCO students encountered some new experiences while in New York and couldn't wait to get home and tell them. "Allen Ginsberg kissed me," said UCO student Steve Sager, "and told me I had a beautiful face." "I saw Hunter Thompson smoking a pipe with pot in it on stage and drinking Crown Royal out of the bottle," said Jane Steele, UCO student. One student said, "Dumb Okies? Well maybe. But we sure weren't afraid of what we wanted. We wanted to learn, so you, Mr. Kerouac, may have something to learn, also." Maybe we all do.

Allen Ginsberg, author of Howl and other poetry speaks at a conference about the Beat movement at New York University. Ginsberg served as co-chairman of the conference.

Ann Charters, wellknown biographer of Jack Kerouac, shows the audience an old Life magazine article on the Beat movement and great literary influences.

Archives extends hours for summer By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer The Special Collections and Archives Department of the Chambers Library at the University of Central Oklahoma, which houses and manages UCO's Oklahoma Collection, university archives and the library' s rare book holdings, is open extended hours during the summer semester. The department' s extended hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Mondays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays. It is located in Room 103 of Evans Hall, said Mary L. Bond, archivist for UCO's Chambers Library. The department provides indepth access to individuals with au interest in history to the secured materials and rare book holdings of the library. "We want the students to know that the Special Collections and Archives Department does exist and that it is not in the main library but in the old restored Evans Hall," said Bond. Evans Hall was the first library building built on campus, and the first library built in the state of Oklahoma with state funds on a campus of higher education. The

department has been open since the fall of 1982, said Bond. Specifically, the "core" of the department contains the Oklahoma Collection, many non-published manuscripts, more than 1,300 linear feet of private and public papers and records and over 7,000 volumes of published materials, said Bond. More than 657 reels of microfilm holdings are also housed by the department. The microfilms include the Indian Pioneer History Collection, the Oklahoma Townsite Cases, the Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps dating from 18671959, Returns from U.S. Military Posts dating from 1800-1916 and early newspapers from western and central Oklahoma towns, said Bond. "Anyone who is interested may come and view the special collections and archives free of charge, though we do take donations," she said. The department continues to seek historical materials such as books, maps, letters, manuscripts, journals and other artifacts concerning local, county or Oklahoma state history, Bond said. For more information about the UCO Special Collections and Archives Department, call 341-2980, Ext. 2882.

Girl finds error on achievement test

Works from OK Special Olympics on display in Donna Nigh Gallery Paul Eddy

Staff Writer BARNSTEAD, N.H. (AP) — An 8-year-old girl discovered an error on a national achievement test that had eluded adults. and other young test-takers, for nearly a decade. The test. created in 1985, asked youngsters to unscramble five groups of jumbled words and form five sentences with words in alphabetical order. One group consisted of: "is hurt an eagle.' ' Like others, Laura Gilchrist turned those words into: "An eagle is hurt. - Then she noticed that's not in alphabetical sequence. Laura's teacher, Darlene Clay, was impressed. "Truthfully, I've been working with these materials for tour years and I never noticed it," she said. Clay wrote to the test's publisher, CTB MacMillan-McGraw Hill of California, and editor Chris Schwanz wrote back, thanking Lam for her finding. "We should 'mike you an editor here!

Green Tea may reduce cancer risk WASHINGTON (AP) — Green tea, that beverage of choice for millions of Asians, may help protect regular drinkers against cancer of the esophagus, a study concludes. Following up on findings that green tea reduced the incidence of esophageal cancer in animals, researchers studied the records of 902 victims of the disease and of 1,552 healthy people in Shanghai. They concluded what worked on mice and rates apparently works on humans, too. "Chinese men and women who drink green tea have a reduced risk of esophageal cancer of up to 60 percent," said the National Cancer Institute, which reports the study in the June 1 edition of its Journal.

Binge drinking campus epidemic WASHINGTON (AP) — America's college campuses are inundated with an epidemic of binge drinking, fueled in part by growing numbers of women just as eager as men to get plastered, a private commission said today. The panel urged colleges to stop accepting binge drinking as "a harmless rite of passage" and attack it as a problem causing most of the violent crime on campuses and many academic woes as well. The problem is no longer restricted to Saturday nights, said the Rev. Edward A. Malloy, president of the University of Notre Dame and chairman of the Commission on Substance Abuse at Colleges and Universities. Many students are "drinking every day or three or four times a week instead of just on the weekends," said Malloy. He said the problem is acute in fraternities and sororities, where students down three times as much beer and booze as their peers.

Western Oklahoman residents clean up after storms hit state OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)— Residents in western Oklahoma were cleaning up today after severe thunderstorms and several possible tornadoes damaged property and overturned vehicles on Interstate 40 in Washita County, authorities said. At least two women were injured when their vehicle rolled near the Foss Reservoir junction of 1-40 late Monday. Both were treated and released from Clinton Regional Hospital early today, said Nancy Hurt, a dispatcher with the Highway Patrol troop in Clinton. The women's vehicle was one of about four that overturned at the junction. National Weather Service radar detected a possible twister in that area just after 9 p.m. Three semi-trucks also overturned. The drivers were not seriously harmed, but "I'm sure they were shaken up," Ms. Hurt said. Westbound 1-40 was closed

position, Ms. Hurt said. A businessman reported windows blown out at a vacant restaurant building and the roof ripped from his house, she said. The man also reported the destruction of his camper-trailer, she said. Also in the area, firefighters doused several fires, including one caused by the downing of a power line and another spawned by lightning striking grass, Deputy Rob-

ert Parsons said. "Other than a bunch of tree limbs blown down by wind and hail, we really don' t have any other reports of any other damage," Parsons said. Canute residents were without power briefly, authorities said. The weather service also issued tornado warnings for Custer County after observers spotted funnel clouds near Clinton and Canute. There were no immediate reports of a touchdown or damage, other than trees knocked down. "It's a hopping and a popping out here in Custer County," sheriff's dispatcher Carolyn Hatfield said. A flash flood warning also was issued for parts of Custer County after radar indicated 2 to 4 inches of rain. No problems were reported with the heavy rains.

Health specialists give advice on tick-borne diseases By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer During the spring and summer, temperatures rise and people spend more time out of doors. Unfortunately, summertime also brings out ticks, insects that sometimes infect their victims with bacterial diseases carried in their bodily fluids and tissues. The most common tick-borne diseases are Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), Lyme Disease, Tularemia and Ehrlichiosis. These diseases can easily be cured with the use of antibiotics if they are promptly diagnosed and treated, said Jennifer Susan LaForge, RN, BSN and director of the S tudent Health Center at the University of Central Oklahoma. People experience the greatest risk of exposure to tick-borne diseases when they are camping, fishing or hunting in wooded areas. But, people can be exposed to tick-borne diseases in their own backyards, said Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, an epidemiologist with the Oklahoma County Health Department. "Most exposures to ticks and

Sports Editor For the Central Oklahoma baseball squad the season ended on a disappointing note, but it was hardly a disappointing season. The Bronchos closed their 1994 campaign by being eliminated from the NCAA Division II regional tournament with a 9-6 loss to Delta State, but the Broncho's 39-14 record is their best finish since a 39-8 mark in 1984. The 39 wins are the highest total in school history. The Bronchos advanced to the South Central region of the NCAA division II tournament after capturing their first ever Lone Star Conference championship with a 15-3 league mark. The Bronchos downed Delta St. 6-2 in their regional opener then posted a miraculous 19-17 triumph over Southern Colorado, erasing a 15-

The broncho bats also blasted 80 homeruns, breaking the old mark of 67. Individually, the Bronchos had seven starters with batting averages of .300 or above with outfielder Shane Smith leading the way with an average of .404. Infielder Eddie Jeffcoat led the team in round-trippers with 15 while outfielder David Flick paced the Bronchos in RBI with 56.

teams to assure its accuracy. A second draft will then be completed, May said, where it will go to Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs. Jacob will then review the study's recommendations and forward it to Nigh. If the plans for a fine arts college are approved by Nigh, the idea must then be by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges before any action towards the new college can begin.

curricular/program implications. University of Central Oklahoma administrators received permission from their governing regents in October to explore the possibility of a fifth college. The study was to be completed last month, but several steps remain before the idea, either approved or not by the feasibility study team, can go to UCO President George Nigh for his approval. May said he is "not letting grass grow under his feet on the study." This is an extremely complex issue and I want to insure full and proper coordination within the task force that was created to perform this mission," he said. May said that he is now writing a draft containing the functional teams' finds and in the next couple of weeks he will forward it to a steering team and a reader panel team to oversee the other teams' findings. From there, the draft goes back

graders still found writing deficiencies at all three levels — and in particular in the ability to write persuasively. Urging improvements in teaching, the report said: "To become good writers, students need expert instruction, frequent practice and constructive feedback.' it laid much of the blame for bad writing on poor study habits. For example, the report said, eighth-graders spend only two hours a week on writing — including time in the classroom — compared with more than five hours on math. And those same students spend 14 hours a week in front of the television set. Those who watched six or more hours of television a day had the poorest writing skills, the study said. The study found that students who did not- do their homework had poorer writing skills than those who did at least some of it and that those who read five or fewer pages daily did not write as well as those who read 11 or more pages a day.

Twenty-three percent of the fourth-graders and one-third of the students in grades eight and 12 said they read five or fewer pages a day, including reading done in class and for homework. The NAEP tested students on three types of writing: persuasive, in which the writer sought to exert an impact on the reader; narrative, telling a story using personal experiences, perceptions or imagination; and informative, explaining specific subject matter. "Most students showed some grasp of the narrative form," the study said, with 55 percent to 86 percent providing at least minimally developed responses. "Encouragingly enough, about onefourth of the fourth-graders and about one-half of the eighth-and 12th-graders wrote developed or better responses," the report said. More difficult were the persuasive questions, including one trying to convince a member of the state legislature that students who receive failing grades either should or shouldn' t lose their driving licenses.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Whether describing the plot of "The Little Mermaid," recounting a trip in a magical balloon or arguing the merits of a longer school year, American students have trouble making their point in writing. In its latest comprehensive look at how well schoolchildren write, the Education Department said today that most students grasp the basics of narrative or informative writing but many are unable to write effectively. The 1992 "Writing Report Card" by the department's National Assessment of Educational Progress unit found some encouraging news in that schools seem to be putting more emphasis on writing instruction. Compared to its last NAEP writing assessment, in 1988, the report said, "students are being asked to write somewhat more frequently, at greater length, and in assignments requiring more analysis and interpretation." . But the report said its testing of 30,000 fourth-, eighth- and 12th-
