Intersession classes offer students flexibility, variety By Lisa Tatum Managing Editor If enrollment figures are any indication, continuing education intersession courses have become an increasingly popular way for UCO students to get college credits. In the past six years, enrollment in the intersession courses offered each January, May and August has grown from 272 students to more than 2800. Course offerings have increased from
22 sections in 1992 to 163 sections offered in 1997. Intersession courses are designed to serve students who cannot be served by existing courses or programs during the regular semester format. They offer students the opportunity to take unusual courses such as Feng Shui for INDES, a Chinese art and philosophy, as well as basic courses like Interior Design. Some courses are designed to relate to special issues. The Jury: Order or Disorder in the V See INTERSESSION, Page 3
he fate of UCO's Continuing Education program is up in the air and where it lands depends largely on decisions made by incoming president Roger Webb. The credit and non-credit continuing education courses, which include intersession courses, distance TV courses and professional development courses, have previously been managed and coordinated through the UCO Office of Outreach. However, in a May 10 proposal to the UCO Budget Review Committee, Outreach Director Carl Reherman announced his retirement and recommended abolishment of the Office of Outreach. The proposal, accepted by President George Nigh, eliminated Continuing Education, Globalization and Outreach Public Service offices and recommended a separate budget and the transfer of four Outreach employees to The Nigh Institute for State Government. The Nigh Institute, which contracts with outside agencies to provide training courses for their personnel, has since been renamed the Division of Special Services. With the elimination of the Office of Outreach, seven job positions were abolished including that of Dr. Linda Norton, director of continuing education. While Reherman's proposal included transferring Continuing Education's program coordinator and special projects director to the Division of Special Services, no recommendations were made for the Continuing Education director's position. Nigh said the main reason he concurs with the elimination of Continuing Education is that "there is no longer a need" for the program. He added that all decisions are subject to change when Webb takes office July 1. Webb said while he felt it inappropriate to comment on Nigh's decisions, he has strongly supported continuing education in the past. More than 800 students are already in enrolled in August intersession courses and more than 300 are enrolled in other Continuing Education courses for fall. Nigh said the office of academic affairs will oversee continuing . education for the remainder of this semester. Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, said a spring class schedule for Continuing Education is still being planned, although he anticipates a reduction in class offerings.

EDITORIAL
er
'AN is e s
his week marks the 25th anniversary of the Watergate break-in. The discovery of five burglars inside the Democratic National Committee's - headquarters was the single thread that led to the unraveling of a ‘, presidency. But that thread might have gine unnoticed were It not for the diligence and persistence of two Washington Post reporters. What started as a hunch for Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in 1972, led to a full-blown investigation. With a secret source urging them to "follow the ___ _ money," the reporters risked their jobs and their lives pursuing a story that sent powerful men tumbling. Forty government officials were indicted or jailed and Richard Nixon became the first president in U.S. history to resign. Woodward and Bernstein's efforts are reminders that this country works with a system of checks and balances. The Founding Fathers knew the value of a free press. With protection from the First Amendment, journalists are free to seek the truth without fear of retribution. Without that freedom, citizens would only read what their leaders wanted them to read. And much of that would likely be lies. It's true that trash tabloids take the concept of free speech to extremes by fabricating facts and invading personal lives for the sake of a story. But those aren't journalists seeking the truths—those are sensationalists seeking profit. While a free press isn't enough to keep all politicians honest, they still might think twice before taking kickbacks and illegal campaign contributions. Thanks to two Washington Post reporters, they know they aren't the only ones following the money.

Former UCO journalism professor pleads her case for the Bronze Book W
hat is this about no Bronze Book next year?! Might as well have a music program with no place to sing. Football and basketball courses with no places to play.... Art courses with no paint brushes or easels...computer science with no computers. Science with no labs UCO prepares teachers for high schools and junior colleges that publish yearbooks. Back in the dark ages—in the late fifties and early sixties when I taught journalism at UCOteachers came to me in summertime and took an "arranged study's so I could give them an instant short course in year-booking. It wasn't adequate, but that's all we had. I judged yearbooks for a national judging organization that sent me hundreds of books from all over the nation to critique. Not only did I judge it for the students, I marked up the test and made copious notes in the margins for the sponsor's benefit. That's when I realized no one was actually teaching yearbook classes. So, I started one at UCO, and now many other schools do so too. Our lab was the Bronze Book. Looking back over the years, I remember my best yearbook students and editors. They found good jobs in magazine editing in New York City, San Francisco and Houston. Many excelled in production of brochures and ads for agencies or large corporations. One bought a newspaper in Garland, TX, and one in Oklahoma City. Many hold jobs in Public Relations where editing
experience is invaluable. When my yearbook students finished, they knew how to shoot and crop pictures, to do layouts and to select appropriate type styles [fonts]. When and how to use color. And how to create a theme and follow it thfough to completion in a large publication. Advertising heads in Oklahoma City complimented me on how well our students are prepared for jobs in the profession. School superintendents have thanked our University for the high quality of our alums who elect to sponsor the newspapers or the yearbook. Bronze Book alums are well prepared to get a running start in the real world. All of this falls to note the tremendous "hole" in the history of UCO that would be left if the Bronze Book were not available for the year. Who would see the dedications of the new buildings and the changes on campus? Where would historians learn of the honors that come to President George Nigh as he winds up his vastly successful tenure? Ditto for the new era of Roger Webb. Can we afford to omit the history of these important years? The real job of a Yearbook is to tell the story of that particular school, its classes and activities, its students, faculty and leadership staff. Are we willing to say that UCO makes no history in 1997-98? I don't think so!
—Dr. Reba Collins Journalism Professor Emeritus

INTERSESSION continued from front page
Criminal Justice System was offered in. May— during the McVeigh trial proceedings. To ensure academic integrity, the current Continuing Education policy requires all intersession credit courses be approved by faculty, department chairs, deans and administrators. Participating faculty is also subject to approval by appropriate department chairs and deans. Some courses have provided students interaction with distinguished professors from universities as far away as England and Germany. State political figures including Sandy Garret, state superintendent of public instruction and Hannah Diggs-Atkins, former state legislator, have led intersession lectures. The increased popularity in intersession courses might also be a reflection of how student needs have changed. A growing number of students pursue their degrees while employed either fulltime or part-time. The availability of a week-long or weekend course makes scheduling around their jobs easier. While ambitious students might be tempted to enroll in several intersession courses a semester, university policy prohibits course overload. A student is only allowed a course load that is 50 percent above the amount of weeks in a semester. Three weeks of a May intersession would allow a student to take 4 credit hours. Since week-long courses usually last four hours each day, students are usually advised to take only one course per intersession.

Website paves way for transfer students
S
tudents interested in transferring from one college to another can now find much of the information they need on the Internet. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE), have set up a web site at http://www.osrhe.edu . The site provides course equivalency information for all higher education schools in Oklahoma. Approximately 500 college and university faculty members meet periodically in committees to review course equivalencies and identify additional transferable courses, said Lisa Craddock, staff writer for OSRHE. The number of transferable courses has nearly doubled since 1996, she said, putting the current number of transferable courses at 2,875. "By presenting this information in an electronic format, we are building upon the faculty's work and are able to provide a tremendous amount of information to Oklahomans in a cost-effective and efficient manner," said OSRHE Chancellor Hans Brisch. Some initiatives implemented by Oklahoma higher
education to ease student transfer include guaranteeing that an associate degree in arts or science satisfies all freshman and sophomore general education requirements, and establishing 37 hours of required basic general education courses for all students except those seeking associate of applied science degrees. Students interested in transferring are still encouraged to work closely with their academic advisers when planning transfers, said Craddock. Some Oklahoma colleges and universities have existing transfer agreements that identify courses not transferable on a system-wide basis, she said. These courses do not show up on the web site, but must be researched through academic advisers. Other information available on the OSRHE web site includes the state budget for higher education, legislative information, and enrollment statistics. The site also provides links to other resources, such as the Oklahoma State Employment Commission and a directory of higher education schools. —By Steven Wedel/ Staff Writer
Music teachers go back to school this summer By Sandi Craig Staff Writer
Music is in the air and education is on the minds of students who are taking UCO's Summer Elementary Music Workshop this week. There are approximately 55 students enrolled in the workshop sponsored by the music department.

NATO members brief UCO students about current state of affairs By Curtis Cobb Staff Writer
T
wo members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) briefed political science students and community members Tuesday night in the liberal arts building at UCO about the current state of the alliance and its plans for the future. Canadian Army Lt. Col. Terence Loveridge and German Army Lt. Col. Guenter Forsteneichner presented a slide show and offered historical data about the 46-year-old organization. NATO began in 1949 with 12 members to stabilize Western Europe and defer communist expansion, Loveridge said. Today the alliance has 16 member nations and is considering allowing up to three more to join. Loveridge, an infantryman for 28 years

They must also have solid treaties about minorities within their country in relation to neighboring countries, he said. As high-tech and impressive as NATO's operation is, Loveridge admits, their is one glitch in their operation. North American stationery is 8 1/2 x 11 inches while European paper measures 8 x 10 inches. The difference is minimal but "it makes sending faxes a bit tricky," he said.

Staff Writer Under a big, blue and white striped tent a tall, stately man wearing a white vested suit with black bow tie stood on a platform, waving his hands expressively. "I came with Haley's Comet in 1835...and I expect to go out with it." The silver-haired man wearing spectacles resembled Samuel Clemens, who wrote under the pen name of Mark Twain. But he was actually actor George Frein, a retired professor from the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks. Frein portrayed Twain during the 2nd annual Great Plains Chautauqua held at UCO June 12-17. Approximately 500 people attended Frein's opening night performance Friday. Frein said he has traveled for 11 previous summers portraying Mark Twain. UCO's Office of Outreach, Oklahoma Federation for the Humanities, and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce hosted the Chautauqua. This year's theme was American Writers of the Gilded Age. Twain's most famous quote was: "At 14 the old man (Twain's father) didn't know anything, and at 21 I was surprised to see how much he had learned," said Frein as he portrayed Twain. The Chautauqua is a humanities program in which scholars assume the costume and character of historical figures.
