Campus remodeling projects under way David L Hanigar Student Writer
"A bunch of mud and a hill," is how University of Central Oklahoma student Sally Baker described the large hole southwest of the Broncho Fieldhouse. The hole, soon to become an Olympicsize soccer field, is one example of the many projects involved in the multi-million dollar remodeling of the university. Along with the upheaval and relocation of many of the campus parking lots, construction across the university is in preparation for the addition of several buildings, renovations of existing buildings and overall modernization of the UCO campus grounds and facilities. "We're changing the function of, and the appearance of the campus in preparation for future growth," Nick Widener, executive director of special projects said. "We're trying to build something that will carry us into the year 2001." A new 40,000 square-foot education building is one of the newest renovations projects. It will contain a multi-media seminar room capable of receiving satellite transmissions that will accommodate the advances in talk-back television, Widener said. The project should take about 15 months to build. Secondly, a 60,000 square-foot laboratory building adjoined with the south wall of Howell Hall. They will be connected by a glass atrium with all floors connected by elevated glass walkways. "You won't know when you leave from one building and enter into the next. It will all be closed in," Widener said. Howell Hall will also be completely renovated. These two projects will cost an estimated $7.7 million. The Max Chamber's Library will receive $8 million worth of renovations and additions that will add 80,000 square-feet of computer lab and stackable space. A four-story grand staircase will access each floor, and open areas between the floors will be closed in, said Widener. The addition of The Nigh Institute and Government Outreach Center along with the Boren Archival Library (which will
house the territorial papers for the state) are a part of the $15 million in construction costs for the renovation of the University Center. "The archival library will be the one place in the state that exists with that (territorial papers) information," Widener said, "So anyone in the state, that needs that research will have to come here." Other additions include a new bookstore, two 500-seat auditoriums, an oval shaped dining room with rooftop seating, a glass elevator overlooking the campus and a foodcourt which will house restaurants like Burger King and Pizza Hut. The Communications Building and Annex will also be joined. A 100-seat classroom with modern technology and projectors that lower from the ceiling exist in those plans, Widener said. Mitchell hall will acquire a scene shop, renovation of the building and new industrial technology. Other projects include the construction of an amphitheater beside Thatcher Lake, the joining of the business buildings with elevators meeting American Disability Act guidelines and new roofing. Widener said even the landscaping will become something the students will enjoy with new lighting, 20-foot sidewalks, new trees, native grasses such as Blue Stem and Love Grass, and areas students can convene in. "I think that we all will be proud of it when it is finished," Widener said, "It may cause some difficulty getting around in short-term, but I think in the long-term, we'll be proud of the end-result."

3 UCO students chosen for Shakespeare play By Mike Erwin Student Writer Three University of Central Oklahoma students overcame stiff competition to win roles in the Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park production of "Antony and
Cleopatra." The performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays June 16-July 10 at Hafer Park, Southeast Ninth and Bryant.
The students, J. Matthew Wullenwaber, Alison Crane and Kit Corff will portray Octavius Caesar, Iras and a soldier. "We're really pleased with our students from UCO. There's a lot of good talent at the school," said Kathryn O'Meara, artistic director of Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park. The actors were selected for their loud voices, sense of text and ability to communicate, O'Meara said.
"Antony and Cleopatra" is the tragic love story of Antony's fascination with Cleopatra, and his resulting downfall. The upcoming schedule will include "Cyrano de Bergerac," July 14 Aug. 7 and "The Tempest," Aug. 11-Sept. 4. Tickets are $5 for adults, and $4 for students and senior citizens. Admission is free for children 12 and under. For more information, contact Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park at 340-1222.

Parking facelift stirs distain: Are students crying over torn asphalt? Groundbreaking ceremonies last spring rallied the support of students who looked forward to revamped facilities and parking lots -- but does new parking necessarily mean more or better parking? Some summer students don't seem to think so. Every day, students and administration come staggering in late to class, gasping in a tired, red-faced manner about the lack of spaces and the closed lots -- and walking in the summer heat. "Please ...Water...," they whisper harshly as they lurch for the nearest water fountian. Granted the renovations come as an inconvenience, but are the students of UCO actually getting any more parking -- or just an extended walk through all the former lots? It seems like more of a trade-off than a gain -- there will still be over 14,000 students vying for the few "new" spots in the fall. Commuters may complain about saying "goodbye" to their favorite parking space, but administration authorities told students the parking was being moved to the perimeter of the campus when the "Master Plan" was officially unleashed this spring. As students, it would be a good idea to spend a little extra time before or after class staking out some alternative parking so if, by some surprise, the lot you parked in this morning is closed tomorrow -- or occupied by a lonely desert camel. Walking across the vast new east lot, often students babble about the hulking, hovering university in the distance -- only to discover that they're going the wrong way. The mirage on the horizon is only the Texaco. So one problem students may ask is, "Where can you park now that your favorite lot is closed?" If you ask the parking services, they'll tell you that new maps probably won't be available until this fall... How about some leniency until the new lots are opened this fall, and allow summer school commuters to park in the sparsely filled, unused residential lots -- and reduce ticketing. President Nigh has designated that all of the priority parking will go to students, not the faculty or staff, when the lots are completed. Well, there is at least one thing to be thankful for.

And the beat goes on... By Carol Cole Mills Guest Writer As the drumbeat for U.N. sanctions against North Korea grows louder and more invasive, former President Jimmy Carter visits that country's leaders in an attempt to affect some reason in the continuing struggle to regulate their nuclear program. The first president to try to pressure other countries' human-rights treatment of their citizens and others, Carter was criticized as being weak and ineffective in his foreign policy. But obviously, he is working to change that image - and he is not the first. Former presidents have not only changed their place in history with their activities after leaving office, but the perception of how that president performed in office sometimes changes after we have time to see how events unfold on the world stage. Eulogies of former President Nixon at his recent funeral come to mind. Reviled as a crook when he resigned from the office in disgrace after the Watergate fiasco during the '60s, Nixon refused to slink away. His reputation as an
Carol Cole Mills astute foreign policy president intact, Nixon continued to criss-cross the globe, visiting China and aiding the U.S.'s diplomatic causes. At the Nixon funeral, all living presidents showed up. Watergate was swept under the rug, and Nixon's exceptional foreign policy finesse was repeatedly lauded by all of the speakers. Watergate was but a distant memory and the country seemed to exhibit a collective amnesia about Nixon's role in the scam and remember the good parts of his presidency. Other presidents have their public perception change after their tenure in office. Also, former president Ronald
Reagan was positioned as the ultimate hawk where the national defense budget was concerned. But during the Persian Gulf War, as Patriot missiles repeatedly intercepted Scud missiles and saved lives, the country was reminded that without Reagan, the Patriot program would have been scrapped. Ironically, Reagan's image as a hawk was used to the hilt by the man he replaced—Jimmy Carter—to effect the release of U.S . hostages in Iran. After losing in his re-election bid, Carter positioned Reagan and his vice-president Bush to Iranian leader Khomeini as a pair who would take military action if our hostages were not released through peaceful means. The hostages were released hours after Carter gave the country's reins to Reagan. Whether Carter will be effective in his effort to work with the Koreans will be evident in days. Hopefully, Carter's trip will reinforce the current administration's attempts to build a coalition between the world powers for sanctions against North Korea, with the ultimate result of North Korea repositioning it's aggressive stance.

UCO education faculty to complete 10 hours of public school instruction By Roy Howe
Staff Writer Beginning this fall, 58 faculty members from three colleges at the University of Central Oklahoma must complete 10 hours of active instruction per school year in a kindergarten through grade 12 setting. The new guideline is a result of a State Regents' 1992 study where the state's 12 education colleges were examined. The.. requirement is in place to keep teacher education faculty enlightened to the realities of today's public schools and classrooms. "Teacher education faculty are defined as anyone who teaches methods courses, supervises student teachers or serves on entry year teams," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, College of Education dean. Entry year teams oversee a new teacher's progress. Deans of education colleges
Dr. Kenneth Elsner
must complete the obligation as well. Teacher education faculty must seek out rural teaching areas as well as urban schools to fulfill the State Regents for Higher Education's recent requirement. Faculty members are also expected to incorporate their varied common school classroom experiences into their teacher prepara-
tion at the university level. Currently, teacher education faculty and deans must serve once every five years in a state accredited public school for at least onehalf day per week of one semester. "The regents tried to assure that it was more than observation," Elsner said, "that it was actual instruction." The regents recommend that this experience be scheduled in blocks of time longer than one hour so the classroom experience is one of greater depth. "I don't think it will be a problem for our teachers to get in 10 hours per year," Elsner said. Each teacher education faculty member is responsible for making their own arrangements to teach at the public schools, Elsner said. "I don't think it will be a problem for UCO to address these policies," Elsner said. More than 600 students a year complete UCO's teacher education program.

UCO Central Museum to hold alumni art show lives and works in Rapid City, S .D. Rahimi-Reynolds has been recently commissioned by the Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum complex to work on a bronze sculpture which will be approximately 40-feet tall. The sculpture will be part of a memorial park dedicated to fire fighters. "We receive inquiries from former students expressing an interest in showing in our gallery," said Bill Wallo, director of the museum. "With all the student art shows we show, we don't have much time to show other artists," said Wallo. "This combination seemed like a good balance." "Textures of Time " follows the theme of photosynthesis, the combining of photography and other art forms in one display, said Wallo.
By Paul Eddy Staff Writer
The Central Museum of Art at the University of Central Oklahoma will exhibit an art show, "Textures of Time," June 19 through July 29. The show will feature the works of three UCO alumni. There will be an informal reception which the artists will attend from 1- 5 p.m. June 19 in the Central Art Museum. The artists, Shala RahimiReynolds, David Stinchcomb and Daniel Tackett, M.D., span a decade of UCO history. Rahimi-Reynolds' works are in sculpture and Stinchcomb and Tackett work in black-and-white photography. Rahimi-Reynolds and Stinchcomb work out of the Oklahoma City area. Tackett

Sp ecial service lab helps students write right By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma offers a variety of services to assist students with needs beyond the normal course curriculum. The Writing Enhancement I al- in 12 , nill 119 of the Liberal Arts Building. is one such service. The lab was s tatted in 1991 with the goal of helping students master all writing and communication skill;, said Dr. Bettie Jo Knight, director of the Writing Enhancement Lab and assistant professor of English at UCO. "Students schedule at least one hour a week to work in the writing lab," said Knight. "We administer a diagnostic test to determine their writing skills, then tailor a plan for each student which will best help to improve the individual's writing abilities." The writing lab uses a variety of teaching methods to assist students in mastering their writing
skills like one-on-one tutoring, information sheets, learning activity packets and computerized work programs, said Joel Mitchell, an English major and clerical worker in the lab. "Many students come to the writing lab wanting us to correct their papers," said Mitchell, "but that's not what we are here for." On average, the lab has helped 173 students per semester since its start three years ago, according to statistics prepared by Mitchell. The majority of students come in during the fall semester, and most of them are international students, said Mitchell. There are many students who come in and want help, but when they are asked to take the diagnostic test, they get worried and leave, said Timothy Eisenbarth, a graduate assistant with the lab. "I'm not sure why people who need help leave or don't come back in. Maybe it's pride, or they don't realize they have a need. But, many people do need help,"
said Mitchell. The lab stays busy throughout the year. People come in with problems and the lab is here to help correct them, said Eisenbarth. "There really is no specific problem we deal with. The problems are as different as the individuals who come in for help," said Mitchell. The writing lab deals with a less specialized set of goals than other assistance programs such as the Edmond Language Institute and the Learning Resource Center. "I believe that they (the other services) reinforce and assist each other. We are glad to have the language and literacy centers on campus," said Knight. The lab's hours are from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mondays, from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Fridays.

Biology department conducts research at Lake Arcadia By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer The biology department at the University of Central Oklahoma is involved in an exclusive research endeavor. Members of the department are conducting biological research in Spring Creek Park at Lake Arcadia. Dr. Gloria M. Caddell, an assistant professor of biology at UCO, has been conducting research and biological studies at UCO' s secluded 10-acre research field for three years. "The field is owned by the City of Edmond, and they allow us to carry on whatever studies we want in the area," said Caddell. There are no signs marking the area because they would call attention to the sight, which could mean the potential contamination, destruction or loss of important experiments, said Caddell.

"To the public, the research area looks like a huge overgrown field, though occasionally fishermen and horseback riders make their way through it." Caddell said she uses the field for her upper-division plant biology, plant taxonomy and pollination biology classes. Many students have been involved in class exercises at the field. Also, several students have been working with Caddell on her experiments as well as their own. "I have some long-term ecological studies out there as part of my own research that students can take data from year after year, so they can see the changes in the plant community's composition,"
said Caddell. The area was extremely disturbed following the completion of the lake's construction by the Army Core of Engineers in 1987. In time, it will return to a native tall-grass prairie, said Caddell. "We do vegetation surveys to see how the prairie is changing." Controlled bums in the area help to keep the fire danger low. Fires are set in conjunction with the Edmond Fire Department so that observations can be made about the effects of fire on small grazing animals, said Caddell. "We don't just go out and burn the fields unsupervised," said Caddell. A lot of experiments are going
on at the site, and other universities such as Oklahoma City University (OCU) and Rose State College have shown interest in the study area, said Caddell. "As for collaborative efforts, there is always the possibility but no attempt has been made yet." "It's nice to have a place that is close. It's ours and we can do what we want with it," said Caddell. Caddell said having the field exposes students to a lot of research techniques, which makes feel good about recommending them for jobs. It's too difficult to try to coordinate field trips for the lower-division classes, but the upper-divi-
sion classes and biology majors have three hour labs making it easy to go out and study, said Caddell. "It would be nice to include other classes. But, we have not had the time for coordination." "For me personally, it gives me a place where I can escape into my research," said Caddell. "It revives my spirit and lets me get back to the reasons I got into biology to begin with." Studies currently being conducted include "The Interactive Effects of Fire and Grazing by Small Animals on the Plant Cornmunity Composition at the UCO Research Area" and "Nocturnal Pollinators of the UCO Research Area."

Bones of 17th-century sailors found STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Hollywood's stereotypes of oldtime sailors as scar-faced, crippled and toothless come close to reality, according to research by a Swedish scientist studying"the remains of 17th-century seamen. Bone specialist Ebba During spent four years scrutinizing the bones of sailors who died in 1628 when the Vasa, heading on its maiden' voyage to the Thirty Years War, sank in Stockholm harbor. The Vasa was built to be the pride of Swedish King Gustav H Adolphus' fleet in his campaigns' on the European contintent. The 200-foot-long warship had a crew of about 400, including 300 soldiers. It was armed with 64 guns. Unfortunately, however, it was unstable and turned over about 1,000 yards away from the dock. After 333 years on the bottom of the harbor, the Vasa was salvaged in 1961 and the victims, aged 13 to 60 years, were buried.
Report shows alcohol college epidemic By Jeff Billington Staff Writer
College campuses are becoming more and more drenched with alcohol a report recently released by the Commission on Substance Abuse at Colleges and Universities stated. The 98-page report, Rethinking Rites of Passage: Alcohol Abuse on America's Campuses, said that white males are becoming the biggest problem drinkers, averaging more than nine drinks per week. Ken Wolf, owner of the Wolftrap, a local tavern frequented by University of Central Oklahoma students, discontinued several "special drink nights" because of the problems of overindulgence. "We never really had a noticeable problem except for 'Keg
Night,' " Wolf said. Wolf decided to end "Keg Night" and "Ladies' Night" because of the problems encountered by the overdrinking. "Our business probably won't be impacted by the report because drinking is social consciousness
by choice, and you should be socially responsible when you drink," Wolf said.
The report said that 51 percent of college men and 37 percent of college women were reported to go on drinking hinges in the past two weeks. The percentage of college women who drink to get drunk showed a sharp rise from 10 percent in 1977 to 35 percent today . Almost 60 percent of college women who acquire a sexually transmitted disease, including herpes and AIDS, were drunk at the time of infection. It was also found that students spend more on alcohol than on their books, sodas and other drinks combined. The report urged colleges to take steps to discourage campus drinking, including banning alcohol ads and promotions from newspapers and athletic events.
Russia future site for Wonder Park MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia's best-known sculptor and architect wants to build a bigger, better version of Disneyland, and he isn't letting anything get in his way. Wonder Park is being built at a site inside a U-shaped bend of the Moscow River, seven miles west of the Kremlin. As preparatory work begins, villagers say authorities are trying to drive them off. He (Tsereteli) says anyone displaced by the project will be housed in apartment buildings to be built soon. Wonder Park, which Tsereteli calls the "Russian Disneyland," although emphasizing it has no affiliation with Walt Disney, defies logic in these times of economic hardship. Public information remains sketchy, and Moscow city officials refused interview requests about the project.
Grunts 'missing link' in baby talk TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Every parent waits expectantly to hear baby's first word. But a Rutgers University professor finds just as much significance in an even earlier form of communication: baby's first grunt. "Grunts are the missing link ... the link between sound and meaning," Lorraine McCune says. "Before people can speak, they grunt." The grunt has been a form of communication since cavemen grunted in satisfaction at the first fire, said McCune, who is a professor of developmental psychology. She has studied the sounds babies make — the grunts, gurgles and coos — and has determined that it is their first attempt at communication.
Man claims Belushi provokes fight OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A local man who claims he was attacked outside a nightclub contends actor James Belushi encouraged the attackers. Kenneth Ray Flora, 23, told police he saw Belushi in the Bricktown Harleys nightclub Thursday night and thought he was being "very rude' to the bar's patrons. Flora said he introduced himself to Belushi, and that the actor pushed him away when he told Belushi, "I like your movies, but I wish you would treat people with a little more respect." Bouncers then forced Flora out of the club, police records show. Once outside, Flora said he was attacked and thrown to the pavement while Belushi encouraged the attack. Flora suffered minor injuries and did not seek treatment, He contacted police Saturday afternoon, more than 24 hours after the incident.

National organization awards Sullivan with highest honor By Tanya Jones Student Writer Dr. Rick Sullivan, professor of occupational and technology education at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been awarded by the National Vocation Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) with its highest honor, the National VICA Honorary Life Membership. VICA is a national organization for students enrolled in vocational and technical education. The club was developed to help teachers teach students the skills needed to be successful on the job. "Over the years I've worked a lot with National VICA in terms of helping them develop training materials and do training workshops," said Sullivan. "I've traveled to 20 or 30 different states to do training courses and seminars, as a volunteer." During his 15 years as a volunteer with VICA, Sullivan has worked with chapters at the local,
district, state, national and international levels. "I've taken students to Australia and England for international competitions to compete against other countries," said Sullivan. Sullivan' s job at UCO is to work with students and teachers in training them to become VICA advisers. Sullivan was honored to receive a letter indicating he had won VICA' s highest award. "It's kind of nice to be recognized," Sullivan said, "It's very rewarding." Sullivan believes strongly in his own law which simply states: "Ye who volunteers shall be rewarded." "I've found over the years that those who are willing to volunteer and say 'I'll help, I'll do what I can to help, regardless of saying what's in it for me,' those folks typically run into opportunities because of their attitude," said Sullivan. The award will be presented to Sullivan during the VICA National
Volunteering valuable, says placement director
Student Writer Student financial service has created a new job program called "Money for College" to help inform students about available scholarships. The new program, directed by Nancy Benjamin, is aimed atmaking students aware of scholarships and helping students connect with those scholarships. The program is located in Room 118 of Thatcher Hall, and scholarship information is accessed from Financial Aid Finders, a data base that is updated twice a year. When the student's personal profile and major-master codes are entered into the data base, the computer will print out an award
report. Benjamin said she has seen as many as 19 different scholarships printed out for one student. Many scholarships pertain to all majors but most are specifically within the student's major. An indexed card file is kept on each student that comes in the office, so new scholarships can be readily matched up with them. However, filling out a personal profile does not automatically submit the student's application for scholarships. Benjamin advised students to send a generic letter to each address asking for information concerning requirements and application forms. If they have not heard from the organization within four to six weeks, she recommends they follow up, even if it is past the ap-
"We have had good response from our college volunteers, with full-time and part-time students, many from UCO. We've also had many college professors volunteer," said Carter. "Our volunteers' main duties include answering phones, counseling patrons, and distributing safe sex materials," said Carter. Dee Ricketts, house manager of the Ronald McDonald House believes college students should try to volunteer to experience a different perspective of life. "A lot goes on in the 'real world' outside of campus that college students never see. It truly takes a special individual to reach out to the community to help out where people are in tragedy; or where accidents, illness, or floods occur," said Ricketts. The Ronald McDonald House is a 10 bedroom house with private rooms, a kitchen and laundry for families who have children under 21 who are in the hospital. Ricketts said the organization tries to encourage college students who are dedicated and have a flexible schedule and added that she is looking for more college-age volunteers. "We do have a variety and broad age range of volunteers. This opportunity is a strong learning experience for students who just want to give of themselves," said Ricketts.

Approximately $2 billion is available from a wide range of areas each year for scholarships, and only $400 million is utilized, said Benjamin.

While many students begin summer in search of part-time jobs to pass the time and pay off bills, other students begin marketing themselves for long-term careers by serving the community through volunteer work. S tudents who often complete course requirements look for the special edge that will place them above other applicants for employment. Volunteering is a very important qualification employers look for in hiring, said Kathryn Greenlee, director of placement with the Career Development and Placement Services at the University of Central Oklahoma. "Volunteering is important for two main reasons. First, it is an excellent way to break into the field you want to work in . even if it is an internship or non-paying position," said Greenlee. "The other benefit of volunteering shows an employer the individual cares about their community and is wellrounded." A person who volunteers his time is a valuable asset and is very special because he truly wants to give something of himself, said John Carter, assistant manager of Triangle Association, a non-profit HIV testing and counseling center and food bank in Oklahoma City. "We look for community oriented givers, not just takers. Volunteers weed themselves out and are unselfish caregivers," said Carter. The Triangle Association has four full-time paid employees and almost 63 volunteers.

UCO to help host Sun Belt Classic By Scott Moore Sports Editor
The University of Central Oklahoma will be hosting part of the 18th Annual All Star Sunbelt Classic Baseball Series beginning June 21 and lasting through June 25. UCO's Broncho Diamond along with Edmond North High School and Squires Field in Guthrie will be the sites for the tournament. The tournament will feature the best high school talent from the states of Florida, Maryland, California, Georgia, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas. Each state will be fielding a team to compete for the Sun Belt Crown. California will be defending its title. having edged Oklahoma 4-3 in last year's final. The city of Edmond is hosting the tournament for the first time. Tournament director John Schwartz said that UCO and Edmond North were chosen be-
cause of their facilities and the necessity for an extra field. In the past, the tournament was held on two fields instead of three. "The tournament needed three fields so we could schedule gunes later in the day," said Schwartz. "In the past the tournament was held at just two sites, and we had to schedule games at nine or 10 in the morning. Having the tournament at Guthrie. UCO and Edmond North gives us three fields and enables us to schedule eames later in the day." Schwartz coached at Edmond Memorial for 37 years serving as the head football coach and head baseball coach. "We're hoping for a large turnout," said Schwartz. -We always had good support at Stillwater (the previous site), and we're hoping for the same here because Edmond has great facilities." Many of the players who will be participating in the tournament have been drafted into professional
baseball. Most of the players who have played in the Classic the past 18 years were drafted out of high school. Currently there are 55 players in the pro's who have played in the series, including such big names as pitcher Jack McDowell of the Chicago White Sox, catcher Mickey Tettleton of the De troi t Tigers and pitcher Mike Moore also of Detroit. There are eight players on this year's Oklahoma team who have been drafted. All session tickets are on sale at the Edmond Chamber of Commerce for $25. This ticket is good for all Sun Belt Classic contests held at Broncho Diamond, Edmond North High School and Guthrie. The tournament kicks off June 21 at UCO's Broncho Diamond with Ohio facing Florida at 1 p.m. and concludes June 25 with the Championship game slated to start at 7 p.m. at the Edmond North High School Field located at 215 W. Danforth.

Miss UCO competes in pageant
Music theater major spends break acting By Jennifer Fox Student Writer
By Kelly Barnes Student Writer
Miss University of Central Oklahoma, Lometa Woods, competed against women across the state for the title of Miss Oklahoma in Tulsa June 11. Although she did not place in the top 10, Woods said she was very pleased with her performance during the four-day competition and plans to compete again next year. "I did the very best I could and I know I worked hard. This was a tremendously exciting learning experience," said Woods. "I've been competing in pageants for almost 10 years, and one of my dreams has been to compete at Miss Oklahoma. Now that I've been, I'm ready to go back. It was physically demanding, but there was never a dull moment," she said. Each contestant who entered in the pageant is asked to select a critical issue which will serve as her platform throughout her reign. Woods, who chose child abuse prevention, has given lectures at middle schools and plans to continue to serve as a spokesperson. Aside from preparing mentally and physically, Woods said the support she received from UCO and pageant board was the key to succeeding at the competition. "The love and support from the students and faculty I received was absolutely wonderful. Even before I arrived in Tulsa, so many things from flowers to phone calls were waiting forme ," said Woods. Woods performed a tap routine to "Lullaby on Broadway" for the talent competition. Tiffany Craig of Norman won the crown and will compete in the Miss America pageant in September.

While most University of Central Oklahoma students spend their summers holding jobs they do not really care for, one student is getting paid to do what she loves. Staci Gray, a sophomore music theater major, is spending her summer acting in Lyric Theatre. Gray first started performing in Lyric four years ago and has been involved every summer since. Gray started out as an apprentice for the first three years and now that she is old enough, she is an ensemble member and involved in nearly every show. She will be in four of the five shows this summer: "Peter Pan," "The Goodbye Girl," " S9uth Pacific" and "Grand Hotel." The summer schedule is grueling for cast members, Gray said. The cast members have rehearsals seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5:30p.m. for "The Goodbye Girl," while performing "Peter Pan" Tuesday through Saturday nights. "It's hard work, but it's also a great growing experience and it's a chance to meet new and interesting people," Gray said.
Staci Gray
Grays' love of the theater came naturally, said her mother, Pat Gray. Pat Gray was also an ensemble member in Lyric Theatre when she was a student at UCO. Staci Gray said she will keep auditioning for more parts next summer. As for future plans: "Graduate, go to New York and get on Broadway," Gray said. Lyric Theatre holds most evening performances at 8 p.m. and matinees at 2 p.m. For more information, call 5283636.

Music department holds workshop By Crystal Nowlin Student Writer
"Singing, Playing, Moving: Foundations for Study" was the theme of this year's Elementary Music Workshop held by the University of Central Oklahoma's music department June 8-10. Teaching the clinic this year was Dr. Karen Carter, assistant chairperson of the music department at UCO and Dr. Peggy Bennett, head of music education at the University of Texas (UT) in Arlington. "The workshop was sort of a refresher course in the way one looks at children, themselves and the possibilities for singing in the classroom," said Bennett. Carter has coordinated workshops like this for the past three summers. She started them because she felt that there was a
great need in this area of the state to develop music teaching techniques, especially in the elementary. "Caring teachers are constantly looking for better ways that are new and exciting to teach their children," said Carter. "Her sincere concern is that teachers provide the most appropriate settings for their children to learn as much as possible about music in a nurturing and respectful environment." Carter said, summarizing Bennett's three-day clinic. "Dr. Bennett was exhilarating. She taught me a new perspective on teaching and discipline," said Clint Williams, participant in the workshop and private music instructor in the greater Oklahoma City area. The workshops are for music teachers, but a variety of people come, Carter said.
Society of Professional Journalists elects UCO instructor as president By Roy Howe Staff Writer Mark Hanebutt, University of Central Oklahoma journalism instructor, was elected president of the Oklahoma professional chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Sunday. He had served as vice president since S eptember. The association brings both the print and broadcast media in Oklahoma together. "It (SPJ) promotes journalism and First Amendment freedoms," Hanebutt said. "It pushes for excellence in journalism by holding writing contests and bringing in speakers to talk about journalism and its practice." As vice president of SPJ, Hanebutt organized the first Journalism Job Fair for students last February to connect them with professionals in the trade—amove to incorporate pupils who major in journalism into SPJ.
"I want to continue that this year," he said. As president, Hanebutt said he wants to improve communication within the organization and increase membership. "I'm trying to put our meetings and newsletters on a more regular basis. I'm also trying to generate more student participation," he said. Hanebutt is the second member of UCO' s journalism department to hold SPJ's top spot. During the 1982-1983 term, Dennie Hall, associate professor of journalism served as the organization's president. Hanebutt, while teaching summer courses at the university, is currently pursuing a law degree at Oklahoma City University. He also serves as the faculty advisor to the UCO student newspaper, The Vista. His professional experience in journalism includes writing for The Evansville Courier in Evansville, Ind. and The Orlando Senti-
Mark Hanebutt nel in Florida. He has also worked as a freelance and public relations writer in the Oklahoma City area. Hanebutt earned his master's degree in English at UCO and a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Evansville in Indiana.
Student spotlight: Graphic design major gives art new angle By Paul Eddy Staff Writer Clint Shore, a senior graphic design major at the University of Central Oklahoma, sees art as a matter of perspective. He is currently showing a collection of his work at La Baguette, 7408 N. May, a French cuisine restaurant in Oklahoma City. Shore grew up in the Oklahoma City area and attended John Marshall High School. After graduating, he was accepted to attend the Kansas City Art Institute, but chose to attend UCO. Shore has a twin brother who also attends UCO and majors in art. "Bret (Clint's twin) hasn't done much sculpture lately, but he is busy with class work," said Shore. Clint Shore works in the UCO art department, and lives on campus. Shore has shown his work at the City Arts Center in a show called "Five on Five in Oklahoma." The
show featured five young artists of the Oklahoma City area and showcased their talent. "My work is influenced by the `dada' philosophy," said Shore. The 'dada' artists tried to change the perspective of the viewer, and in doing so, to change their mindsets and avoid the war that they believed the main stream view was responsible for, said Shore. "My art deals with perspective also. I try to influence the viewer to see past the label of 'trash' and to see the aesthetic appeal in any item," said Shore. "I use objects that I find in the trash. I take them and piece them together like a puzzle until they fit," Shore said. Often this is done by sketching first and then assembling the pieces. "I guess that my work would be labeled 'mixed media sculpture', but I prefer the name `assem-
blage.'" "I am interested in a lot of art it's not an easy way out," said Shore's assemblage works con- forms, but my first love is the Shore. sist of everyday items arranged assemblage," said Shore.

This Day in History... •By The Associated Press Today is Thursday, June 16th, the 167th day of 1994. There are 198 days left in the year.
