Closure could cost UCO

Tinker closure impact could exceed $2.6 billion

Storms pound Atlanta, sinkhole kills woman ATLANTA (AP) — Severe storms caused a 100-foot-wide sinkhole to open up Monday under a parking lot near downtown, killing a woman who was trapped in her car, authorities said. Rescue workers were searching for other cars that fell into the crater when it formed in the parking lot of a Marriott Courtyard hotel. The crater is about 25 feet deep and more than 100 feet wide.

Cuba base that houses HIVinfected Haitians shuts down

By Joe Umbarger Staff Writer

The economic impact on the University of Central Oklahoma, if Tinker Air Force Base is closed, could exceed $2.6 billion, said Lt. Gen. Richard A. Burpee, vice president for Development and Community Relations at UCO. Burpee, who is also the primary witness for Tinker at the Base Closure and Realignment Committee hearings, said that was a conservative estimate. "To put things in perspective," Burpee said, "The annual budget for the state of Oklahoma is $3 billion." Burpee commanded Tinker's Air Logistics Center (ALC) from 1983-86, and also commanded the 15th Air Force, which is half of S trategic Air Command, during which time he was the "user" of the products that Tinker repairs in Oklahoma. He said he believes his background help

the committee listen when he talks about economic impact and military strategy in general, and the importance of Tinker AFB specifically. Burpee said that when the history of buildups and reductions in the United States armed forces is charted on a graph, it forms a redundant series of "peaks and valleys." Massive buildups occurred during World War II, the Korean Conflict and the American involvement in Vietnam, as examples, with intervening "valleys" during which the military budgets and personnel were cut. Burpee said it makes more sense to have a constant level of preparedness to be able to respond quickly to developing events worldwide, and until the Clinton administration published its plan for long-term military strategy, no one would know what such a level might be. Burpee used an example from Vietnam as an illustration. "When we first got to Vietnam, we had

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — The dusty, razor-wire-encircled compound that held HIVinfected Haitians for nearly two years began shutting down Monday. A New York federal judge ruled last Tuesday that the camp should be closed and the Haitians, who fled their homeland after President JeanBertrand Aristide was overthrown in a 1991 military coup, allowed into the United States. Judge Sterling Johnson Jr. described the compound as "nothing more than an II1V prison camp."

Bill raises fees for UCO students By Roy Howe Staff Writer

Sioux barred from regulating hunting, fishing WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court today barred the Cheyenne River Sioux from regulating hunting and fishing by non-Indians at Lake Oahe on the tribe's reservation in South Dakota. Congress canceled the tribe's authority to regulate such use by non-Indians when the federal government bought the land to build a dam, the court said in a 7-2 ruling. Today's ruling reversed a federal appeals court decision that said the tribe had the authority to regulate non-Indian hunting and fishing on most of the disputed Lake Oahe area.

airplanes that could carry 14 bombs each, but we only had one bomb per airplane, because we had downsized our military forces to a point where we had almost no bombs at all. Every 'mom and pop' shop around the country was starting to build bombs." "The present administration has what it calls a Bottom Up Review strategy," B urpee said, which replaces the Cold War and Base Four strategies of past administrations. Relying on his experience as commander of Tinker's ALC, Burpee was able to explain to the committee that the listing of "yellow" on Tinker' s encroachment was in error. "It's definitely green," Burpee said, indicating there was plenty of room for expansion, both physically and in number of flying operations. Will the ALC at Tinker AFB be closed? Burpee is optimistic, but admits that it isn't a sure thing either way.

Governor David Walters gave his approval last week for institutions of higher education to raise tuition and for a portion of the state's emergency funds to be seized for higher learning. Walters signed the Bills 13 days after he received them. He had the option of signing the legislation within 15 days, not signing them at all and allowing them to become law without his blessing or vetoing the bills. House Bill 1321 allows the State Regents for Higher Education to approve tuition hikes at the state's 26 higher learning sites. The increase is set to begin this fall with hikes of 8 percent at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, 7 percent at four-year universities and 6 percent at the state's two-year colleges. Earlier this year, Walters said he would not approve any increase in class costs unless institutions cut administrative expenditures. This prompted state regents to come forward with an administrative cost cap plan. With UCO expecting a large enrollment this fall, George Nigh, UCO president, can opt for an eight percent hike. He said he will stay with the seven percent rise in an effort to keep costs "reasonable" for students. Senate Bill 390 will release $44 million dollars from the state's $100 million plus emergency fund with $ 28.4 to help fund higher education.

University needs Tinker AFB; closure would be devastating to both UCO and Oklahoma The University of Central Oklahoma is growing by leaps and hounds. Enrollment is up, we aren't facing any harsh budget cuts and the selling of bonds has enables us to expand our campus in order to accomodate more students. If Tinker Air Force Base is closed, however, all of these things won't mean a thing. The possible removal of Tinker Air Force Base will not only cause the State of Oklahoma great economic grief, it will also have a heavy economic impact on UCO. In fact, the closure could in up costing the university in excess of $2.6 billion, said Lt. Gen. Richard A. Burpee, vice president for Development and Community Relations at UCO. The economy is not the only thing that will suffer if Tinker is closed. UCO could face a drop in enrollment. Tinker Air Force Base is a great portion of our population. If that population ceases to exist, UCO will have a much smaller population from which to draw potential students -. "We are an integral part of that community," said Burpee. That's why Burpee is investing much of his time supporting the survival of Tinker. The closure would also have an effect on the environment. Oklahoma's largest resource is natural gas and Tinker has the largest fleet of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles in the Department of Defense. Tinker also houses a plant built by Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. which enables the base to generate electricity if something happens. Furthermore, closing Tinker and trying to duplicate the services it performs elsewhere would cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

Ode to Dr. Billy Johnson

"I'm still very concerned about the potential for trouble here, and I do not like the fact that such a tremendous burden has been placed on Oklahoma, " said Rep. Ernest Istook, ROkla. Oklahoma has faced tremendous economic uncertainty already. The closure of Tinker would be a deathblow to the state and to this university.

War vet enjoys quiet times By Joe Umbarger

Staff Writer He has the quiet confidence that comes with wisdom and personal experience, and is much more at ease talking about B-1' s and F-4' s and tactical military strategy than he is about his hobbies, pastimes and golf handicap. Lt. Gen. Richard A. Burpee, USAF (retired), is vice president for Development and Community Relations at the University of Central Oklahoma. He carries many other distinctions as well, including past Director of Operations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, running the Pentagon's war room, and extensive experience as pilot and commander in figh ter and bomber units such as the 509th Bomb Wing at Pease AFB, New Hampshire, and the 19th Air Division at Carswell AFB, Texas. Burpee has logged in over 11,000 hours of flight time, including 336 combat missions in Vietnam. He is a graduate of the University of Omaha where he received a bachelor's degree in economics, George Washington University, where he received his master's public administration, and the

Fire damage to vice president's home means $82, 700 loss By Joe Umbarger

Staff Writer

Damages due to the fire that ravaged the home of Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president, Academic Affairs, total an estimated $82,700. Chief Willie Cornelius, of the Oklahoma City Fire Department, said damage to the structure located at 3621 N.E. 142nd Ct., Edmond, was confined mostly to the west end, which included the garage and that portion of the house above the garage. "Value of the structure itself was estimated at $35,000," Cornelius said, "and the value of the contents is estimated at $47,700." That figure includes a 1991 Chevy Lumina and a 1985 Fleetwood Cadillac that were in the garage at the time of the blaze. Reports said the fire broke out at approximately 5:24 a.m. June 6, due to an electrical short in the attic. The family was home at the time, but were able to escape without injuries.

Advanced Management Program for Executives at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also a graduate of the National War College, Air Command and Staff College, and the Squadron Officer's School. During his Air Force career, Burpee was awarded the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Air Force Distinguished Service Medal with cluster, Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Hying Cross with cluster, Bronze Star and Air Medal with 14 oak clusters. A respected citizen of the cornmunity, Burpee is a member of the Board of Directors of United Bank, board of Consultants for the Kirkpatrick Center, Board of Trustees of the Oklahoma Aviation Space Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc., located at the Kirkpatric Planetarium and Omniplex Science Museum, Board of Directors for the Donna Nigh Foundation and the Board of Directors of the Retired Officers' Association. Burpee is currently involved with the effort to have the Air Logistic Center (ALC) at Tinker AFB removed from the base closure list. Burpee's experience in economic development for Riverside and San Bernardino counties, Calif., combined with his long list of impressive military credits, awards

Expansion means new museum for art department, university By Heide Brandes

Staff Writer

Gen. Richard A. Burpee and experiences, including commander of the ALC at Tinker from 1983-86, made Burpee the unanimous choice to represent Tinker as a primary witness to the Base Closure and Realignment Committee on all fronts. When he has free time, which is seldom, Burpee enjoys playing golf, spending time with his family and working in his yard. For a combat veteran who is still at the center of decisions that can and often do have worldwide military and political implications, quiet times are the best.

The University of Central Oklahoma Art Department has started construction on a new art museum, said William Wallo, director of the art museum. The new museum will replace the existing museum which will be converted into classrooms. "We had to cut a corridor through the museum for ADA (Americans with Disibilties Act) standards," said Wallo. "The corridor would have cornpromised the operation of the museum." In addition to the corridor, two wheelchair lifts will be installed. Restrooms and a number of offices and classrooms will also be made more

accessible to persons with disabilities. "The whole idea through the construction is to have compliance with ADA requirements. Our campus is doing more than most," said Wallo. "A merit will be access to the entry which will face the main walkway. A lot of people didn't know we were here. This way the museum will be much more visible and the operation more independent." The project was approved July 1992 and would roughly cost $100,000, said Nick Widener, executive assistant of special projects. Though the contract with Reardon Construction sets

Sept. 5 as the latest the work will be finished, Wallo said he hopes the museum will open in the fall.

One article resulting from Guild's research on the ADA will be published in this month's issue of the Oklahoma Business Bulletin, published by the University of Oklahoma. One future project Guild said he intends to tackle is the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, he said. Guild said recent press coverage over sexual misconduct in high schools implies possible migration of such attitudes into the workplace. "If statistics are anywhere close to the mark, then that would indicate that the depth of the problem is much more wide spread than anyone imagined," Guild said.

The University of Central Oklahoma Department of Music will offer its Ei ghth Annual Music Theatre Workshop, an intensive 50hour seminar in all aspects of performance, July 6-16. The seminar includes instruction in acting, voice, belting (a style of Broadway singing), staging, musical comedy, scene performance and acting for commer-

cial and film performance. The workshop is targeted for students 14-18 years old, though some exceptions may be made. The fee for the seminar is $300, due July 6, which includes a $50 registration fee. "The workshop shows young people that they must be prepared to be actors, singers and dancers," said Kay Creed, assistant professor of voice at UCO. "They need to be equally prepared in all fields. They will have an idea of what it takes to get there."

Ex-Broncho grid star cut by Denver Traylor begins search for new team

Sports Editor

By Bill Kramer

About the best thing that could happen right now for America's purest form of spectator, the sportsfan, is a Phoenix Sun uprising. No, this is not an antiMichael Jordan article, we've all had our fill of those of late. In fact the only reference to gambling you'll find in here is that of your own personal crap shoot in finding pleasurable sports viewing in the coming months. The call for a few Phoenix victories is not the plea of a Suns fan. It should he the rallying cry of all sportsfans who, by way of the Suns winning a few games and thereby extending the NBA season as long as possible, can put off the dreaded baseball bonanza that signifies the surruner months. I'm not knocking baseball. Far from it. I enjoy baseball as much as the next guy. Assuming, of course, that the next guy isn't a stat-wieldingrotisserie league-playingSporting News-reading fanatic whose days prioities revolve around a seventh inning sing-along with Harry Caray. Baseball is a grand sport, it is after all America's Pastime. It isn't however, thrilling enough to hold most sportsfan's sole attention for the next four months in which the boys of summer dominate the sportscene. If you happen to be a diamond die-hard, then the summer marks the highlight of your year. A baseball game can be found any day at any hour on almost any station. Great for you. Torture for everyone who isn't into four-and-a-half hours of chess matches and chewing tobacco. Bill Cosby said it best when he claimed "baseball is the only sport that can spread five minutes of action over four hours." To find proof that the average sports aficionado requires more than just baseball in his summer diet, look no further than the sudden rise in bowling and golf viewership. Both fine sports, to be sure, but how many times outside of July have you ever found yourself cheering for Leanne Barrett to pick up a pesky eight-ten split. So, if you're desperate to witness a sporting event that doesn't include anatomy adjustments, try some golf, boxing or even auto racing. Hopefully your summer sports gazing will include many moments just as exciting as an intentional walk.

Keith Traylor, the University of Central Oklahoma's most heralded football player, is without a team. The 6-2, 260-pound linebacker, selected in the third round of the 1991 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, played two years in the mile-high city before being released last week. A controversy has arisen, however, regarding Traylor's status. The Bronco media relations office reported on Friday that Traylor was released for personal reasons, but his agent sighted contract problems as

the reason for his dismissal. Nevertheless, Traylor visited the Phoenix Cardinals camp on Friday and was in Los Angeles Monday to talk to Raiders' coaches before going to San Francisco later in the week. Traylor has reportedly been contacted as well by Chicago, Buffalo, Atlanta and the New York Jets. A native of Malvern, Ark., Traylor played two seasons at the University of Oklahoma before transferring to UCO in the fall of 1989. Traylor was the highest Oklahoma player taken in the 1991 draft and rates as the highest Broncho draft choice in history.

UCO Sports in Brief Demonteverde rates All-American

Williams impressive at hot corner

Central Oklahoma tennis standout Jong Demonteverde ended a star-studded career May 19 while competing in the NCAA II tennis championships, held jointly by UCO and Edmond's KickingBird Tennis Center. Demonteverde, the most decorated player in Broncho net history, captured All-America honors for the third time in four years under the tutelage of veteran head coach Francis Baxter. The 5-7 senior from Bacolod City in the Philippines registered a first-round, straight-set victory over Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo's Marc 011iver, 7-5, 6-3, before dropping a heartbreaking three-set marathon to Hampton's Johan Wachtmeister, 5-7, 6-0, 7-6.

Softball phenom April Williams led UCO's softball program in a number of statistical categories during the 1993 season and has appropriately been honored with third-team All-America honors by the NCAA. The smooth-fielding, powerful junior batted a schoolrecord .500, while adding eight doubles, a record nine triples and 25 RBI. Williams, a native of Oklahoma City (Western Heights), was a two-time first-team NJCAA AllAmerican at Crowder (Mo.) Junior College before transferring to UCO last fall. A look at Williams' career thus far:

Edmond emerging as net capital NCAA officials like having national tennis events in the city of Edmond. Accordingly, the nation's largest collegiate athletic governing agency has awarded the centrally located city with not one but two such meets for the coming year. UCO, in conjunction with nearby KickingBird Tennis Center, will serve as host for the Rolex National Championships in October as well entertaining the NCAA II men's championships for the fourth consecutive year, beginning in May.

Bonds sold, campus closer to master plan completion By Roy Howe Staff Writer

After a multi-step process of approvals, the University of Central Oklahoma is expected to receive $32 million from the sale of revenue bonds June 29 to go toward parking, building expansion and additional equipment listed on the Master Plan. An additional $5 million should be available to the university by the middle of July from the sale of additional bonds through the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority said Tom Thompson, financial adviser to the university. The addition of 3,000 parking spaces is slated to be the first project to begin construction. University administrators say they would like this to begin about the first part of July for returning students in September. The revenue bonds were offered to individual and institutional investors and were initially offered with an interest rate of 6.7 percent. Before the sale of the bonds were complete, investors accepted a lower return rate of 5.56 percent. A move that is expected to save the

university about $250,000. The revenue bonds, titled Board of Re- gents for Oklah o m a • Colleges acting on behalf of the University of Central Oklahoma, were placed on the market May 19 and received an AAA rating-the best rating given and shows the lowest risk. "The market was stable when we offered the bonds that morning," Thompson said, "but within an hour or so the general market across the country was getting sloppy (the yields went up). "Based on the number of orders we had," Thompson said, "we felt we could lower the investment and still maintain enough orders to underwrite the bond issue." "The thing that makes this most attractive is that this is a new name," Thompson said. The university's Master Plan involves $45.7 million worth of improvements to UCO. The $37 million raised by selling bonds will be combined with $7.7 million UCO received from last year's statewide higher education bond issue and $1 million UCO has in an existing physical plant fund.

Money pledged to retire the bonds include a new parking fee to begin this fall. Students and faculty will pay $15 for fall and spring and a $10 charge to park during the summer. A fee of $25 can be paid for the year. In addition, a $2.50 per credithour library fee will go toward retiring bond money used to expand the library. Included in the bond revenue proposal are $4.4 million for classroom building expansion, $5.45 million for parking, safety, landscaping and lighting improvements, $8.7 million for an 83,000 square-foot library expansion and $15 million for University Center expansion. The state bond and physical plant money will help fund a $3.1 million College of Education classroom building and a $5 million renovation of Howell Hall science and math building. "Because of the low interest rate and because of the new fees, we'll have money annually to maintain the buildings," said Joyce Mounce, administrative vice president, addressing university faculty and staff members last week.
