MO Foundation donations defy recession Caleb McWilliams Slag 1 Triter
As consumers remain frugal in their spending in light of a deflated economy, charitable donations across the country have fallen as donors' contributions have drooped. "We have found that most of our donors are continuing to give," Anne Holzerberlein, vice president for Development and executive director of the UCO Foundation, said. "Some of those gifts have just been smaller than previous gifts." A recently published national report from Giving USA said that, adjusted for inflation, total giving in 2008 was down
5.7 percent from 2007. Giving to education organizations fell by 5.5 percent, or 9 percent adjusted for inflation, the report said. Holzberlein said that the UCO Foundation had several donors who had previously made very large year-end gifts, largely of stock. "All of them still made a donation at the end of last year, but all of them were smaller and none of them were stock," she said. To continue receiving from their "pretty loyal donor base," Holzerberlein said that the Foundation has been "very careful to let our donors know how much we appreciate their giving." "We understand with the economy that
it's tougher for them to give some of the large gifts," she said. Statistics show that when the economy turns around, the people who have been giving will go back to giving at a higher rate, she said. Even though UCO has a loyal donor base, Holzerberlein said, the Foundation is working hard to expand it because "historically, UCO has not done a lot of fundraising." She said that the Foundation had statistically lost "an extremely small number of donors," and that there are some donors who only give once in a while, and some who give every other year.
THE UCO FOUNDATION The UCO Foundation was established in 1972 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit "to provide scholarship assistance to deserving students and support for faculty, campus activities and vital programs at the University of Central Oklahoma," its website states. Since 1994, the Foundation has been "an active fundraiser and the philanthropic steward for the University instead of solely an administrator of donated funds," it says. Right now, the Foundation has three projects that Holzberlein said "we're see FOUNDATION, page 6

Christie was fortunate enough to be named an instruction pilot, and earned the privilege of teaching pilots for a greater part of his military career. Whether or not he knew it, Chrisite heard his calling. While serving, he worked towards his master's degree in counseling and further specialized in substance abuse. He commented on a bit of a scare he had at one point — in the early 1980's, he had to attend his mandatory yearly physical. The doctor informed him that his liver enzymes were "completely out of whack" and that he would have to not drink for a full 3o days. "It scared the hell out of me." Christie said. He did abstain from drinking in order to pass
his physical, but promptly picked up drinking soon. Retiring from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel, Christie put his education to work and began drug counseling. From 1990 to 1991, Christie was the director of Logan County's Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Education program. Soon after, he found a more permanent spot supervising other drug counselors with the A Chance to Change Foundation, and filled this role for just less than ten years. Christie never stopped fighting the virus of addiction, wherever it might show itself. 1994 marked Christie's first experience at UCO, when Dr. Bob Jones asked him to be a guest speaker on treating addict"Inside the Lines" with Chris Wescott

ed adult children of alcoholics. This led to him getting to teach as an adjunct, instructing the course Helping Skills. In 2001, Dr. Jones asked Christie to create a Group Dynamics Course specifically tailored for the substance abuse counselor, and this program is used at UCO to this day. During the fall 2002 and spring 2003 semesters, Christie filled in for another professor who was medically unable to continue teaching, and Christie did such an excellent job that he was awarded with the Adjunct of the Year award. Currently, Christie instructs seven courses: three in the fall, three in the spring, and a see DRUG, page 3

Is college worth it? Jacob Levin Indiana Dai0 - Student
It seems like every year, when the graduation fanfare has subsided and the confetti has reached the floor, graduates turn their eyes to the piece of paper standing in for four years of trial and tuition and ask the rather pressing question, "What did I just put myself through?" It's inevitable even in good times, much less a recession. Did we just make a bunch of people waste their money and time? Granted, some skills you learn in college are directly applicable to specific fields. If you want to be an accountant, tudying taunting is really the only way._ The criticism usually focuses. ori _people chooge more e'so'teric, liberal-arts majors. In place orflriarice expertise, the job market tends to see the choice of personal fulfillment as a handicap. When liberal-arts graduates enter the job market, they give their college degree as more of a symbol than a qualification. Graduating college means you are trainable, capable of seeing something through to the end and presumably smarter than you were before. But none of that can necessarily be traced back to college, especially by potential employers. Maybe you were already smart enough for the job in question before you went to school; maybe you were always committ1 ed; and maybe studying art history won't actually help you sell real estate or insurance. Meanwhile, universities, responding to a greater desire from high school graduates who wanted to stay competitive or the best jobs, opened up more campuses and created m ore paths to a college degree. The problem is the best stud ents took to going to graduate school in greater numbers. , The momentary advantage given by a more equal disbursem ent of college diplomas was simply nullified by those who 1were always more academic or intelligent (or wealthy). College is still, as it was 5o years ago, extremely expens ive and extremely time-consuming. The difference is that ii t's also now necessary for jobs that, fifty years ago, could h ave been taken by high school graduates. But for those who c ouldn't attend college, because the money wasn't there or , ecause they weren't academic enough to attend a university, they are now excluded from an opportunity they were not unsuitable for. All this has a very polarizing effect. The uppermost get the jobs they were always going to get; the middle get the jobs they had before; but the least fortunate suddenly find that they cannot afford to pursue opportunities they used to have. And, yes, the general population is left better educated. It is also poorer and has less choice. Especially in these times, is that a burden we want to impose on our citizens?

UCO holds blood drive
Summer Studying
Tiffany Brown .y1,101 rite,. UCO Greek's and the Oklahoma Blood Institute hosted a summer blood drive this week in the University Center. Julie Gimmel, a blood program consultant said a blood drive is hosted every summer. In the summer, OBI struggles to get donations because most students are off campus and college students are often the biggest donors of blood, Gimmel said. "Out of roo percent of the population that is eligible to donate blood, only 5 percent actually donate," Gimmel said. High school and college students who give blood often become life-long blood donors. The OBI's goal was to collect 6o units of blood. It was critically low in 0- and A+ blood types. Gimmel said giving blood is one of the best ways to stay healthy. Before giving blood, individuals receive a screening process, where the pulse rate, blood pressure, body temperature and iron levels. Donating blood is a process that takes approximately 45 minutes. After blood is donated, OBI performs a cholesterol level test of the donor and the results are mailed to the recipient. The OBI was the first Center in the United States to perform cholesterol testing with every blood donation at no charge as a donor benefit. According to Gimmel, OBI was founded because doctors had to cancel surgeries due to the lack of blood supply. Although this has become a problem for many areas in the nation, Oklahoma does not have that problem. The blood donated by individuals are stored and used

for residents in the region. The blood collected goes to Oklahoma hospitals. Gimmel said a UCO Staff member has been the recipient of a blood transfusion when he had surgery. UCO will be hosting other blood drives on Sept. 3o, Oct. 1 and Aug. 19 during Stampede Week.

UCO professor directs Shakespeare program Angela Morris StaffWriter
The 25th summer season of Shakespeare in the Park opens this Thursday with the Shakespearean comedy "As You Like It," directed by UCO adjunct Kathryn McGill. This comedy, first performed between 1599 and 1600, is a love story mixed in with runaway characters, deadly tension between brothers and cross-dressing. The play's heroine, Rosalind, has more lines in "As You Like It" than any other female in a piece by Shakespeare. Rosalind is banished to the forest by her usurping uncle, Duke Frederick, who has also banished her father. Rosalind, however, as just recently fallen in love with Orlando, who shortly after Rosalind's banishment is forced to flee from his
older brother who wishes death upon him. Rosalind is accompanied on her banishment by her cousin, Celia, who wishes to flee from her mean father, Duke Frederick. Both ladies must change their appearance to insure that they are not caught by Duke Frederick. Rosalind hides her identity by dressing as a male going by the name Ganymede and Celia now goes by Aliena. While Rosalind (Ganymede) and Celia (Aliena) are hiding out in the Forest of Arden, they meet the fleeing,Orlando and his servant Adam. Unfortunately, Rosa* cannot show her true feelings for Orlando as it might give away her disguise. To add another plot twist, a young female shepherd falls for Ganymede under the false pretense that she is a he. To watch the plot untwist, come to Myriad Gardens in

Continued from page 1 summer intersession course. Christie's official title is Lecturer, but he says that he does not consider his job to lecture; instead, he is a "learning facilitator." His method of teaching is hands on and interactive, because teaching is the art of standing up in front of a bunch of people and just spewing knowledge. Learning, however, is the absorption of knowledge and is application, which is Christie's goal. "The classroom is a place to learn, not a place to teach," as Christie defines his role as a UCO instructor. His current role of the coordinator of the Substance Abuse Services program has put Christie in the position of being able to vastly spread his knowledge and experience in helping others with the disease he has been stricken with and train his students to be social advocates against addiction. More than anything else, Christie loves his job and is glad to be fighting back at the disease that ruled his life for so long that continues to degrade the sanctity of life everywhere. Working with drug addicts and junkies is a difficult career path, but Christie doesn't view his life's course as a venue for dealing with fundamentally corrupt people. Though the pursuit of helping those that seek his aid can be very difficult work, to Christie, it's simply what he was put on earth to do. "Once you find something you love to do, you never have to work another day of your life," Christie says with a smile on his face.

Bum-a-Bike registration now online
Changes coming to Broncho Bus
The Bum-a-Bike program will be changing the way and location students check out bikes. The program is designed to allow students to "bum" a bike from the university. Currently the bikes are located at the campus police station and require students to fill out a form to receive a bike. The registration process will now allow students to register their bikes via the web. "We wanted to make it more user friendly," said Mike Sokoff, Transportation and Parking Director. The bikes will no longer be housed at the police station. The Wellness Center will be responsible for the administration of the bikes. "We felt like this was good blend," Sokoff said. The program allows for a two week checkout for students. Currently, UCO has 50 bikes but transportation officials say they would like to see the program increased to a fleet of 200. The bikes are checked out to housing students as well as commuters. The program will still remain sponsored and funded by the Transportation Department. No date on the completion of this restructure was given.
UCO will be making changes to the Broncho Btis schedule and route effective .July 1. The Broncho Bus is a branch of the current City of Edmond bus system. UCO pays a fee for the use of the bus. Currently, the city contracts through Metrosystem for the buses. Starting July 1, McDonald Transit will take over as the provider. With this change, the Broncho Bus will receive updates to its route. Currently, about 25 students ride the bus every week. Transportation officials hope these changes will improve that. "We anticipate a lot more riders because the service area will be improved," Transportation and Parking Director Mike Sokoff said. The move was finalized last week and changes are still being made, Sokoff said. Expected changes to the Broncho Bus route are expected to include expanded service to apartment complexes. The bus will now go as far as the Oxford Oaks apartments located at second and Vista Lane. The new route will no longer include service north of Ayers Street. Hours of service will also expand. The Broncho Bus will run 7 a.m. to 9:15 p.m.. All Edmond residents will also be able to ride the entire Edmond transit system free of charge. A map of the new routes for the Broncho Bus and the rest of the system is expected once changes are finalized.
Parking changes are temporary
GATE to participate in Pride Parade
UCO is experiencing parking changes this summer, but the changes are only temporary. Some parking lots are blocked off this summer due to construction. A portion of the faculty lot on the west side of the Liberal Arts building is blocked off due The UCO Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality will be participating in this year's to the construction of the Transformative Learning Center.

The gay pride event will last Friday, June 26 through Sunday, June 28. Faculty and staff are temporarily allowed to park in commuter lots until the safety zone The parade will be on Sunday in Oklahoma City. The parade will start at Memorial Park has been removed. and end on NW 39th Street. Lot six, the large lot east of the Liberal Arts building, is undergoing resurfacing. The resurGATE will also be hosting an informational table during the event. facing is being done is sections, starting with the northern most section. Students wishing to participate in the float or at the table should contact GATE president The parking lot was expected to be completed by the end of June but it may take through David Johnston or GATE faculty sponsor Dr. David Macey. July, Sokoff said. At this time, UCO officials are not looking at adding additional parking. Administrators say that there is an abundance of parking located on the north side of campus, however students may have to walk greater distances to class. Both the faculty and commuter lots will be reopened completely by the start of the fall semester.

Michael Vick: Why does everyone want him? I am a professional football fanatic and I would like to think my knowledge of the contemporary issues and rumors of the sport is somewhat up to speed. However, one question escapes me. Why is there a mass following and support system for a Michael Vick NFL signing? Michael Vick, who was just released from his former team this past week, is still waiting on a reinstatement from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Read certain message boards around the web from almost every team in the NFL, and there is always one or two posters writing threads pleading for their team to sign the ex-Falcon. The problem is not the one or two posters, it is the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of fans out there that are clamoring for Vick, and are encouraging this talk. Of course, this is all my opinion, but I don't believe Vick deserves another shot, nor should there be any reason to want him as badly, as some do. From an athletic standpoint, Vick may have deteriorated in his time in prison. Even if he had regressed some, Vick is still an athletic freak. He was always one of the best running quarterbacks ever to grace the NFL. My question is, is he worth this much trouble, conflict and the publicity backlash a team would get if they signed him? In six seasons with the Falcons Vick failed
to post a QB rating of over 8o in all but one of those seasons. That season was all the way back in 2002. He has never thrown for 3,000 yards and his best throwing season was 2002 when he still only threw for 2,936 yards. In six seasons his.accuracy has been average at best, and he was sacked an incredible amount of times. In his last three years he was sacked almost twice as much as any other Quarterback in the league totaling over 45 twice in those three seasons. His running ability is well known, but was not has influential as many think it was when you factor in his interception rates coupled with his sacks and tendency to fumble. Vick totaled 55 fumbles in his six years, while he only lost 27 of- se, that is a lot of opportunities for opposing teams to take a game away from you. So the question is still in the air. Put aside his law troubles, consider that maybe he has repented for his evil past, and forget the publicity troubles. Is he still worth it? In my opinion, no because it takes a lot more than an athlete to win football games in the NFL, and there are better options than Michael Vick out there. What do you think?

FOUNDATION Continued from page 1 working very hard on now." "We're working on the Academy of Contemporary Music to get the funds for the start-up in August," she said. "The Foundation board has taken that as the main project." The goal for the Academy is $2.1 million by August, and the Foundation is about halfway there, she said. 'They're divided into teams and they're going out and doing some very aggressive fundraising," she said. The next project is the Old North renovation, which was originally supposed to be completed in August of 2008. In a February 26 "Vista" article, it was reported that approximately $6 million was needed to complete the interior of the building. Renovations for Old North include a new annex that includes elevators, mechanicals, ADA access and restrooms, said Steve Kreidler, executive vice president for Administration and Finance in that article. Old North, when completed, will "have office space for about 65 professors, will eventually house the president's office and will have some classroom space," Holzberlein said. "It will be a wonderful project." The third project for the foundation is the general scholarship fund, and Holzberlein said the foundation "really work with the donor in how they would best want to be served." "Some of them want an individual scholarship in their name, some of them want to contribute to just a general scholarship in their college and some tell us to just put it where the most need is," she said.
