Graduate enrollment drops 2.7 percent from last summer By Patrice Patterson Staff Writer
A
decline in the number of graduate students enrolled in UCO's summer courses may be the cause for the 2.7 percent decrease from last year's summer enrollment. "The biggest decline in the student body is in the graduate level," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of
enrollment. "This has been recurring in the last couple of years," he said. The total enrollment for this summer was 6,126 students, in comparison to 6,299 last summer. The decrease is not found in graduates who have been at UCO previously, but in new graduates transferring from other universities, he said. In the summer of 1996, there were 1,848 graduates enrolled at UCO. This summer there are 1,656.
The House Bill 1017, passed in 1990, put new mandates on teacher's requiring them to take particular courses to maintain their certification level, said Legere. He said that now, six years later, most teachers have completed those requirements, which could explain the decrease in graduate enrollment, he said. The Education Department has one of the highest enrollment numbers within
the graduate program at UCO. Even though fewer students have enrolled for courses this summer, the number of credit hours taken by each student has increased, said Legere. This should balance the university's revenue, in comparing the two summers, he said. The enrollment period for June classes has ended, but students may continue enrolling for the July term through July 1. A:6

What is reaRegagialligtary leader?
I
f consensual sexual activity continues to be a criteria- for eliminating military leaders, we may be left with less than a few good men to defend our country. The issue has become a major concern recently with Gen. Joseph W Ralston's withdrawal as a candidate for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff after his admission of an extramarital affair 13 years ago. Ralston, whose 32-year military career has included combat missions flown over North Vietnam and Laos, was highly regarded by the Joint Chiefs and Defense Secretary William Cohen as the best man to replace retiring Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. John Shalikashvili. In light of Ralston's admission and the controversy surrounding the discharge of Air Force Lt. Kelly Flinn, demands have been brought out from the military, women's groups and others for higher moral standards in the military. But before we take aim at the defenders of our nation for possessing common human frailties, we need to take a close look at whether such a harsh response is warranted. The recent surge of American's growing concern over morality has caused us to lose sight of other equally important concerns: finding and retaining effective service personnel. Those calling for dismissal of military leaders who break the 7th Commandment argue that morale could be affected—it will lower the esteem of the service
members. But what they fail to see is that these leaders were hired for their ability to protect this country in war. Ultimately it's not what a leader does with the women in his life that matters to those serving under him, it's what he does in battle. Women's groups voiced loud objections to Ralston's candidacy citing a double standard. But Flinn was discharged based on her insubordination and lies surrounding her adulterous affair, not just her adulterous affair. It's only a double standard if both parties are held accountable on the exact same basis. As for the military code dealing with adultery, it states adultery is only prohibited when it is prejudicial to "good order and discipline" or will "bring discredit upon the armed forces." There is no evidence that Ralston's affair undermined good order. The military was not compromised by his actions. Furthermore, a code should reflect the principals and abilities that let us win a war. A person's failure to follow conventional morality doesn't mean he is inept at plotting military tactics. An army is judged on its ability to fight, not its ability to follow individual notions of morality. The issue here isn't morality, it's effectiveness. What makes us feel safe at night isn't the fact that a general keeps the Commandments, it's the security of knowing he will protect us from the enemy while we sleep. on

Oklahoma civil-rights activist Hannah Atkins, State Representative Ray Vaughn and Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin are among confirmed guest speakers, said Gladys Klassen, library technician and chair for dedication committee.

will perform, she said. After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, refreshments will be offered in the circulation area. The new building, scheduled for completion in August, is 86,170 square feet and the renovation to the original library totals 12,275 square feet, bringing the library to 205,600 square feet, said Klassen. "The main areas are finished and will be open to walk through," she said. Six new study rooms, a firstfloor microcomputer laboratory and a student lounge comprise some improvements made to the library. An atrium with a central stairway accessing all four floors was also added. Expanded portions of the library include reference, electronic resources, circulation/reserve, copying areas and the number of work spaces in the library have gone from 874 to 2,034, she said. 40

Beyond conviction: The McVeigh verdict
T
o kill, or not to kill? Maybe Timothy McVeigh asked himself that question. Certainly those who convicted him have worried over the question. Capital punishment is once again in the national spotlight as we wonder what to do with McVeigh and other offenders. Texas is guaranteeing some people who commit serious crimes will not become repeat offenders. Yep, Texas is dealing justice through a syringe, and doing it at rates that haven't been seen since capital punishment was reinstated a few decades ago. And up north in cheese country, Wisconsin has not only re-instated chain gangs, but has put stun belts on the convicts to give the prison officials greater control in cases where the prisoner becomes violent or tries to escape. The crime problem cannot be ignored. Should offenders be put to death, or put to work? Should McVeigh die, or spend his

There will be protests either way. The families of victims have the right to demand McVeigh's life and most will not be satisfied with anything less. If executed, even such a monster as this man will likely have bleeding hearts outside the prison holding a candle-light vigil. Some people have suggested alternatives, such as putting convicts who are facing death or life imprisonment in abandoned mine shafts where they could dig for whatever ore was left to pay for their provisions, with the understanding they would be shot immediately if they ever tried to return to the light of day. Perhaps something like this would satisfy both sides of the capital punishment issue. Death for McVeigh, or life in prison? A permanent end to this man's evil, or the possibility he could escape, or have other means to influence his supporters? I think the conviction was the easy part in this case.

Theatre Arts group opens summer season While there are some comic elements in this story, it's a great moral—that you can't judge a book by its cover. —Allen Brawner director
U
CO's theatre arts department will present their first summer production with the non-musical version of Beauty and the Beast, complete with sword fighting. Performances of the Brothers Grimm's classic children's tale will be 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, June 17-22 and July 8-20 at Mitchell Hall Theatre. Director Allen Brawner, a senior drama major, said, "It's our first try in starting up a summer repertory company for theater students or other professionals, to provide work for them
during the summer. "The adaptation of the story was written by UCO Alumni Terry Veal. "The entire cast is made up of UCO music/theater and theater students with one understudy from Putnam City High School," said Brawner. "And the technical positions have also been filled by UCO students." The cast members include: Alison Crane, Renee Krapff, Steve Gillmore, Dustin Fasching, Brian Jones, with Jeff Burleson as understudy. Since there are some sword fights in the show, Dr. James Mock, assistant
professor of humanities and philosophy and sponsor of the Fencing Club, is choreographing the sword fights, said Brawner. The production is based on the traditional 18th century story and follows Beauty, the heroine, into the magical world of the enchanted Beast. "While there are some comic elements in this story, it's a great moral—that you can't judge a book by its cover," said Brawner. "The playwright, Terry, has stayed true to those concepts in that time period, and I hope I have done the same
through my direction of the show. "We are approaching our third week of rehe'arsals, but the audition process started about two months ago," he said. It's a children's show, but the adults will find that there is humor for them as well, said Brawner. Individual ticket prices are $5 and for groups of 10 or more admission is $3. Tickets may be purchased in advance at Mitchell Hall box office. For more information or to make reservations, call 341-2980, Ext. 3375. —By Sandi Craig/ Staff Writer

Writers of the Gild =d Age Great Plains Chautauqua brings literary lecturers to campus
The 1997 "American Writers of Gilded Age" characters are: (front from left) Zitkala-Sa, portrayed by Jeanne Eder; Kate Chopin, portrayed by Anne Bail Howard; (back from left) Jack London, portrayed by Carrol Peterson; Stephen Crane, portrayed by Douglas Watson; Mark Twain, portrayed by George Frein; and W.E.B. Du Bois, portrayed by Charles Everett Pace.
T
he UCO campus is a fair piece from the banks of the Mississippi River, but from June 13-17 someone who looks suspiciously like Mark Twain will be on campus to offer lectures and answer questions. He's bringing friends who look like fellow Gilded Age writers Jack London, Stephen Crane, W.E.B. Du Bois, Kate Chopin, and Zitkala-Sa . The UCO Office of Outreach, with support from organizations including the Oklahoma Foundation for the Humanities and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, is hosting the second annual Great Plains Chautauqua, with the theme of Writers of the Gilded Age, said Roxanne Rhodes of the Oklahoma Foundation for the Humanities. The tent raising will be this afternoon on the UCO campus between the Business and Communication buildings. Lectures will take place at various locations throughout the rest of the week, with special presentations in the tent each evening. All programs are open to the public and free of charge. Chautauquas originated in 1874 on the shore of Lake Chautauqua near Fair Point, New York, Rhodes said. At first, the
Chautauquas were training schools for Methodist Sunday-school teachers, but about 60 years later they took the form of a traveling tent show, providing culture and entertainment to people who did not regularly have the opportunity to experience such things. Rhodes said crowds sometimes exceeded 5,000 people, and in their peak year, 1921, Chautauquas were experienced by 10,000 communities in a 120 day season. Radio, movies, and automobiles soon made the traveling show obsolete and most of the Chautauquas were defunct by 1930, Rhodes said. In 1976 a new Chautauqua movement began as a way to provoke discussion about history, and to make scholars accessible to the public in an open forum. "There's a new twist this time," Rhodes said. "Humanities scholars take on the persona of famous people and lecture as if they were the person, then take questions from the audience. After that, they step out of character to answer questions as themselves." "It's a great learning experience," said Dr. Linda Steele, UCO English professor. "And it's a way for the university and community
to interact in a fun and interesting way." The Gilded Age refers to the period in American literature between the 1860s to 1890s. The term is taken from a Mark Twain novel by the same name, said Debbie Riason, event coordinator. The actors portraying Gilded Age writers in this year's Chautauqua are: George Frein, religion professor, from the University of North Dakota as Mark Twain. Anne Bail Howard, English professor at the University of Nevada-Reno, as Kate Chopin. Douglas Watson, English professor from Oklahoma Baptist University, as Stephen Crane. Jeanne M. Oyawin Eder, historian from Dillon, Montana as Zitkala Sa. Charles Everett Pace, anthropologist and scholar of African-American studies at Centre College, Danville, Kentucky, as W.E.B. Du Bois. Carrol Peterson, English professor from Doan College, Crete, Nebraska, as Jack London. For more information, call UCO's Office of Outreach at 341-2980, Ext. 2413.

or the second straight year Central Oklahoma had three golfers receive All-American
honors. Edmond native Dustin York received first-team honors for the second year in a row. York also became the Central's first fourtime golf AllAmerican. York received third team honors in '94 and '95. York will turn pro this week in the York Lone Star Tour's Louisiana Classic at Lake Charles, La. York graduated with a degree in oral communications and was a first-team all-academic choice in the Lone Star Conference. Dax Johnston received first- team honors for the second straight year.
"It's a honor to be considered one of the best in the country," Johnston said. Johnston remains ranked no. 1 in the country despite his disappointing finish in the 1997 NCAA Division II Championships. Johnston will head to Japan to play in the United States vs. Japan Friendship Matches at the end of the month. The team consists of the top eight players in Division 1, the top Division II and top Division III players from the coaches poll will make the trip across the Pacific, according to Johnston.

Nigh celebrates 70th birthday with colleagues In the past 70 years George Nigh has accomplished such things as being the youngest Oklahoman to be elected lieutenant governor to becoming the oldest person hired as a college president in Oklahoma. "Clean living" is what Nigh attributed to his health and wellbeing to on his 70th birthday. Nigh was all smiles Monday as he greeted students, faculty, and staff for a birthday celebration at his office. When asked of his most memorable experiences from the past 70 years, Nigh said the most memorable was "yet to come." The dedication of the University Center, including the new lecture hall, Broncho Lake, and Central
Park, is what Nigh said he has been looking forward to for a number of years. Although he had planned to retire last year, Nigh said, he wanted to see the completion of most of the construction. In his political career, Nigh said his most memorable experience was his re-election for governor because that is based on your past record. Nigh has set many history markers for the state of Oklahoma, including being the only governor to serve four terms, three in succession.

Weapons demonstration to spark writers at UCO By Steven E. Wedel
Staff Writer There'll be the flash of steel, gun waving and brawling between two hold-overs from the Old West at the June 14 meeting of UCO's Creative Studies Writers Institue (CSWI). The informative violence between writers Jerri Van Cook and Gary Campbell will begin at 10 a.m. in the Troy Smith Business Theater in the Business Building. "Writers have a lot of questions about the weapons they want to use in their books," Cook said. "They want the details to be accurate."
RESUMES
The two men will give a fulldress demonstration of various weapons and the different styles of combat used in the East and West, he said. "Pretty much anything violent, we'll do it," Cook said. A shooter since the age of four, as well as a firearms instructor, Campbell will concentrate on the firearms portion of Saturday's presentation, he said. Cook is considered an expert in the use of bladed weapons and will be talking about all types of combat except firearms. "We're going to come in costume," Cook said about their presentation.
