President Nigh, deans to visit sister university By Paul Eddy

Staff Writer On June 26, University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh, along with several college deans, will visit UCO's sister university in Puebla, Mexico. The group is part of a larger group of 110 Oklahomans who will attend "Expo Oklahoma," a trade mission being held in Mexico City. The group from UCO will then travel to Puebla, Mexico and visit UCO's sister university, the Un iversidad Popular Au tonomal Del Estado De Puebla (Autonomous University of Puebla). "The purpose of our visit is to begin the establishment of an exchange program for faculty and students," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of college of education. This is the second trip by Nigh and the first by UCO deans, said one dean. "We (the deans) will meet with our counterparts from our sister university and try to work out a schedule that will fit with both universities' academic year," said Elsner. "We hope to see the programs that they (the Universidad Popular Autonomal Del Estado De Puebla) have in place and ... discovering the programs that we can adopt

and the programs that we have which they can use," said another dean. The trip was organized by Donald Paulsen, executive in residence at UCO's Nigh Institute, and this will be his second trip, said Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute. Elsner, Paulsen, Nigh, Dr. G. Kay Powers (dean of the college of math and science), Dr. Frank Wert (dean of the college of business administration) and several other deans are scheduled to return Wednesday. In addition, Don Powers, director of safety and environment management of the Physical Plant, will accompany his wife on the trip. UCO President George Nigh and Vincente Pacheco Ceballos, academic vice president of the Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estada de Puebla, signed an agreement into action Dec. 12, 1993 which allows UCO professors, faculty and alumni to work with the Puebla university on an exchange program with their faculty, staff and alumni, said Reherman. Dr. Paula Smith, associate professor of economics at UCO, spent the spring semester teaching labor economics and principles of economics in English at the Puebla University.

A $52.2 million University of Central Oklahoma Education and General (E&G) budget to man and upkeep the university for the next fiscal year received approval last week by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. Figures show a $1.4 million decrease in funds to operate the university this fiscal year which begins July 1. This budget must still be approved by the State Regents at its regular meeting June 29. Funding at UCO for this year's budget comes from three sources: A $4 million

withdrawl from the university's reserve fund, an estimated $19.8 million in tuition costs which is based on a slight increase from last year and a $28.3 million state appropriation. "This budget is built on the modest projection of a 2 percent ($340,204) enrollment increase," UCO President George Nigh said in a letter to the university's regents. "Because of no improvement in state appropriations, no university-wide pay increases were recommended," he wrote. Nigh did explain that a number of salary improvements were adjusted for some staff Y See BUDGET, back page

Writer's viewpoint has unfortunate 'flaw'

o err is human. But to err and be a "hero" is another story. Within the past six months, the sports world has been shaken up with scandal. From the hoopla of Tonya Harding's attack on opponent Nancy Ken-ig,an, to the recent drug arrest of 18-year old tennis player Jennifer Capriatti, to the drug problems of the Dodgers' Da -ryl Strawberry and to the most recent tragedy involving "everybody's hero," 0..1. Simpson. In a commentary in Saturday's Daily Oklahoman, writer Skip Bayless states, "I hope O.J. had nothing to do with this. But I have learned once again that yet another superstar has a sorry human flaw." "Flaw" appears to be too mild of a word for the events that have taken place in the last six months. Webster's Dictionary defines a flaw as "an often hidden defect -that may cause failure under stress as a faulty part (as a crack or a break), or a weakness in something immaterial." If Simpson did indeed murder his ex-wife and her boyfriend, it is more than aflaw. Simpson did obstruct justice and that, in fact, is a crime, not a flaw. Although he may be a hero to most, he is not exempt from the law. As Simpson and his friend Al Cowlings drove down the highway with the Los Angeles Police Department in slow pursuit, spectators stopped by the side of the highway and watched as the white 1993 Ford Broncho canying the "fugitives" passed. They cheered him on as if he had just led his team to a Superbowl win. Were they cheering him on for support and admiration for his flaw or to tell him to keep running from the law'? Very few people want to see the demise of their hero. But whether it be Harding, Capriatti, Strawberry or Simpson, to chalk their actions up to a mere flaw is a crime within itself.

Corrections In the June 16 issue of The Vista, it was printed that a large hole was located southwest of the Broncho Field House. It should have read the hole was located southeast of Hamilton Field House.

Chancellor clarifies 'misunderstanding'

am writing in response to the article on tuition and fees at Oklahoma colleges and universities that ran in the June 9 issue of The Vista. The article reflects a misunderstanding of the process whereby special fees are proposed and approved. First, changes in special fees at individual Oklahoma colleges and universities are not related to changes in tuition. Revenue from special fees, which comprise 2.1 percent of higher education' s educational and general budget, funds specific programs or services and fees often vary from institution. On the other hand, tuition, which comprises approximately 20 percent of the budget, funds broad areas such as instruction, research, academics and student services. Thus, increases in special fees cannot be used to offset a lack of growth in tuition or state appro-

priations. Second, special program and course fees are requested by individual colleges and universities. They are not proposed by the Chancellor or the State Regents and in the absence of specific requests from institutions, they would not be considered at all. The special fees are approved by the State Regents only after institutions have made a strong case for their necessity based on specific program and service costs. Although the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education proposed an average 5.2 percent tuition increase this year, the Regents did not seek legislative authority to increase caps for special fees. Rather, they approved only those fees that were already within the legislative caps after examining the fees to ensure they reflected the cost of the program or

service. Oklahoma colleges and universities submitted their special fee proposals to the State Regents and their staff in December 1993. The changes in special fees, as well as the Regents' tuition proposal, were discussed during the State Regents' April 15 meeting. Two public hearings were also held before the Regents officially presented their tuition proposal and before Regents took action on special fees during theirMay 27 meeting. The rising cost of higher education is of concern to many Oklahomans, and it is vital that they receive accurate information on this most important issue. We appreciate The Vista printing this letter to help us clarify this point. -Gary Smith

Safety director says, 'observe the risks' t is obvious that the University of Central Oklahoma is engaged in a large construction effort by all who come to the campus. We have parking lots under construction, the new central plant, and soon excavation for the hydroponic loop through the campus for the central plant. As time goes on, there will be additional construction started in other areas--Le. library expansion, the new education building, the new laboratory building, the new laboratory building, and the University Center expansion. In other words, UCO's master plan construction and development is underway. While we all rejoice in the above activities, we should all know that the status quo on the university campus has changed. Whenever there is construction in an environment, that environment is changed. Our UCO campus environment now contains ahigher level of hazard than previously existed, and it is incumbent upon all of us, students, faculty, staff,

and visitors, to be more keenly aware of these changes in the environment. To make the construction as painless as possible for you, you need to navigate around the university and the campus in such a manner that you don't expose yourself to any unnecessary risks. The best way to save yourself some pain is to observe the risks, do the safe thing, and keep yourself out of a situation in which you could be potentially injured. Naturally, we are talking about construction areas, areas that you obviously know are under construction. Construction areas are restricted to the contractor and any necessary UCO maintenance personnel who are required to be there for a specific reason. Construction areas are not authorized areas for staff, faculty, students or visitors. Even if the construction area is not marked or barricaded, and even if it just represents a torn up street between you and where you want to go, do not go into the construction area. Go around it, or if there is a

safe passage way provided through the construction area (specifically for pedestrians) you may use that. While the construction and avoidance of construction areas may be somewhat inconvenient, and may take a few more moments of your time, saving yourself an injury from getting hurt trying to cross a construction area could save you much more time and money in the long run. A few minutes more of walking is worth a lot more to you than a few days in the hospital and a long recovery period. So, please keep your safety in mind when navigating around the campus over these next few years as these construction projects progress and as our master plan unfolds before your eyes. This is a great time for the University of Central Oklahoma. Make it a great time for you by staying safe. Stay out of the construction areas. Your safety starts with you. -Don M. Powers, MBA, CHMM

Festival brings 'stars' to youths By Tonya Jones

Student Writer Stars will shine all day June 2425 as olyavic medalists and football, baseball and hockey professionals come together with two non-profit Oklahoma City organizations to present "Summer in the City," promoting and providing outdoor activities for area youths. "Summer in the City," which includes Festival of the Pig, a barbecue contest hosted by the Oklahoma City Food Bank and Sports and Swimfest '94, sponsored by the Oklahoma County Chapter of the American Red Cross, in downtown Oklahoma City. "This is the second year for Festival of the Pig," said Karen Senger, director of community relations for the Oklahoma City Food Bank. Families are welcome to "pig out" on barbecue and other foods with cook-offs from some of Oklahoma's best chefs, in addition to live music. Sports and Swimfest '94 features professional instruction and hands-on clinics from former athletes and professionals. Olympic swimmers Jon Olsen and Eric Namesnik will offer tips in water safety and competitive swimming.

redit between semesters!

By Carol Cole Mills

Guest Columnist As Orenthal James Simpson plummeted from the pinnacle of celebrity and super-stardom last week, the confidence of the public was shaken to the core. Is there no one we can trust to be a "good guy" through and through? Is there such a thing? Many of us would argue that we have actually known "good guys." But, unless you actually live with them, it' s become painfully obvious that a person' s dark side may only surface on the most intimate level. O.J. Simpson is certainly innocent until proven guilty, regardless of whether he murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, the disturbing tales of previous abuse revealed a man with problems few cared to know about. The case is causing issues about spousal abuse to boil to the surface— and well it should. Many believe that Simpson, who would undoubtedly be arrested for beating a stranger, was scarcely reprimanded for beating his wife, receiving only counseling and community service. And even then, the service required was not enforced. Evidently, slugging your wife often equates with a -slapping of the wrist" for punishment.

Simpson's indignant retort to police who responded to the now-famous 1989 beating incident, which left his wife battered and bruised on his front lawn, reveals the sad contrast of how we compare spousal abuse to other aggressions within society. "The police have been out here eight times before and you're going to arrest me for this?" Simpson was reported as saying. "This is a family matter. Why do you want to make a big deal of it? We can handle it." Eight times?? The last bastion of women being treated as property is in the arena of spousal abuse. Judges simply don' t like to put a man in jail for beating his wife. The country's gross denial of spousal abuse needs to change. Being a "good guy" or "good gal" is meaningless when the private person is so deluded as to abuse a partner. Public tolerance of spousal abuse by the courts and by the public must stop. It's pretty naive to think the case of O.J. Simpson will permanently affect an idea that is so entrenched in the public psyche. The change has to come within each individual. While you're watching the continuing saga of O.J. Simpson's unraveling! — remember — even heroes are human.

Accounting major receives scholarship By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer

For at least one University of Central Oklahoma student, it pays to be scholarly. LTC° accounting major Janie L. Dion received a $400 merit scholarship from the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants (OSCPA) at its annual leadership conference held June 9 in Oklahoma City. "When I returned this semester, I really didn' t expect to win an award. I'm excited to he the only one chosen froMUCO," said Dion. Dion maintains a 3.88 grade point average. She is an honorary member of the Dean' s Honor Roll and a member of the UCO Accounting Club. Dion was one of 10 accounting majors attending college in Oklahoma to be selected for the award, said Rick Thacker, director of administration and finances at OSCPA. "As far as I know, I was the only nontraditional student (student who did not enter college directly out of high school) to win the award," said Dion. Dion said she plans to use the money from the award to help pay her tuition fees. "The awards are given out on the basis of merit. There were 16 applications this year, and we had a hard time deciding on the winners," said Thacker. The organization offers as many awards as possible, and the winners are chosen by members of the OSCPA Education Foundation Board of Trustees. "We awarded nine $400 scholarships last year and 10 this year, and the number keeps growing," said Thacker. "It's our way of investing in the future."

Qualifications that must be met to receive the OSCPA award dictate that a student must be a junior or senior majoring in accounting. The student must have taken or currently be enrolled in Intermediate Accounting 2 and be nominated by an accounting professor. In addition, the student must submit to OSCPA an application for the award, three letters of reference and a valid transcript, said Thacker. "I trot letters of recommendation from two UCO accounting professors and from a CPA I used to work for," said Dion. Dr. Lorren H. Beavers, chairperson and professor of accounting at UCO, said, "I nominated her because I felt she would be the type of student they (OSCPA) would want to give the award to." The OSPCA seeks to promote and maintain the highest ethical standards within the accounting profession in Oklahoma.

"The teacher that motivated me the most was Dr. Watson (associate professor of visual art and design). Watson is a master of teaching, you can learn anything in his class," said Turner. Shaw agreed and also credited Dr. Adams, associate professor of visual art and design, with helping him. "Dr. Adams helped me and

Both said UCO's art department is gaining a good reputation with excellent instructors. In the future, Shaw plans to open up his own graphic design studio. Shaw wants to do freelance on his own. Turner is working on his master's in education and plans to return to teaching. Eventually, he wants to be a college professor.

College students at risk for AIDS By Kelly Barnes Student Writer In today's society, many students who leave college with their degree may also be leaving with HIV or AIDS. Statistics from March 1994 from the Oklahoma State Department of Health show the state has passed the "2,000 mark" for AIDS cases and 1,484 new HIV cases were reported. Of those infected, 1,285 were males and 199 were female. Education and accepting responsibility are the keys to preventing HIV infection among society, said John Carter, assistant manager of Triangle Association, anon-profit HIV testing and counseling center and food bank in Oklahoma City. The University of Central Oklahoma's Health Center provides educational material concerning safe sex and AIDS awareness, said Susan LaForge, director. "We have tons of materials that have always been here. At one

time the university did HIV-testing through a grant from the State Health Department. Because the funds have run out, we refer students to the Wesley Foundation for free testing," said LaForge. Although women represent a small percentage of those with HIV, college women are one of the largest at-risk groups because they are away from home and parental authority. "These young women are at risk because they are away from the `Mommy and Daddy' protection. They are exploring emotionally and physically, unfortunately with partners who are also exploring with others," said Carter. "Society has got to grow up or it will die. Maturing is a painful process, but if we truly give of ourselves, the process of 'do's and don'ts' don't really matter," he said. "Realizing the predicament and severity of AIDS is frightening. Especially facing the future and being young can be painful, but growing through the experiences

is educational," said Carter. The bestprotection against HIV infection during sexual intercourse is the use of a condom. Adolescents and adults who have unprotected sex with multiple partners are at the highest risk, said Carter. HIV and AIDS testing sites have been established throughout the metro area. Many of the testing sites are free of charge and are confidential. CarePoint, an outreach center for those who are HIV infected, reaches 54 Oklahoma counties and pros idesHIV awareness materials and testing center locations. "All people are at risk for HIV and must understand how AIDS is transmitted. We cannot be naive enough to think abstinence is the only answer anymore," said Michael Harmon, executive director of CarePoint. For more information on HIV prevention and safe sex materials, contact Susan LaForge at the Student Health Center, 341-2980, Ext. 2317, or John Carter at The Triangle Association, 843-8378

Women from Public Works Program perform Physical Plant duties at UCO By Keena Lucas

Seek safe shelter if lightning strikes OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Meteorologists say the secondsafest position when lightning strikes is a tight squat, with the weight on the balls of the feet and hands behind the head. But for true safety, assume a reclined position on the couch and watch the thunderstorm from indoors. Seeking safe shelter as soon as the thunder starts is far better than any protection you can devise when the storm is upon you, Mike Emlaw of the National Weather Service said Monday. "The main rule that I stress is if you can hear the thunder you need to get to a place of safety," Emlaw said. "Safety" does not mean sheltering under trees, which three Oklahoma City golfers apparently were trying to do when lightning struck in a thunderstorm Sunday. Two golfers died; the third was injured. A West Virginia family of five died Thursday after apparently making the same mistaken choice of refuge.

New blood protein stops bleeding NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists said today they have found a key blood protein that helps people stop bleeding, a discovery that should help doctors overcome a major side effect of cancer treatment. The protein prods the body into making platelets, microscopic disks in the blood that rush to the sites of injury and clump together to stop bleeding. People with too few platelets can bleed to death. Cancer chemotherapy can reduce platelets to dangerously low levels, and this side effect can limit the doses of chemotherapy doctors give.

Towels disappear from U.S. warship WASHINGTON (AP) — Uncle Sam wants you — to return any towels and bathrobes you may have taken from that nuclear aircraft carrier last week. That's the message 40 White House aides got Thursday in an internal memo. It warned that the Navy wanted to be repaid for 84 towels and bathrobes that disappeared from the USS George Washington after a night's stay by President Clinton, aides and reporters. The lost linens were worth $562, the memo said.

Smoke screen clouds Y-1 tobacco WASHINGTON (AP) — A major tobacco company secretly developed a tobacco plant with double the amount of nicotine found in nature, growing it in Brazil and ultimately selling it in five U.S. cigarette brands, the government charged today. Food and Drug Commissioner David Kessler told a congressional panel that Brown & Williamson Tobacco Co. then tried to mislead his investigation of the genetically altered tobacco plant called Y-1. He stopped short of using the word "lie," but pointedly noted that B&W officials denied any breeding of tobacco until last Friday when they discovered FDA already knew about Y-1. Key to l-DA regulation is whether cigarette makers manipulate the level of nicotine in their products. In April, the chiefs of the nation's seven biggest tobacco companies testified before Waxman's subcommittee that they do not manipulate nicotine. Kessler's latest findings, however, indicate those chiefs may have perjured themselves, several subcommittee members said today. B&W eventually used Y-1 in five brands sold here: Viceroy King Size, Viceroy Lights, Richland, King Size, Richland Lights and Raleigh Lights, Kessler said.

Student Writer While most students are "locked-up" in summer classes, women from the state's Prisoner Public Works Prograin are out...doing various Physical Plant duties at the University of Central Oklahoma. Between 22-24 women are transported during the week to UCO, and they work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., said Sherry Howard, Department of Corrections supervisor. "Many organizations let these women work for them, but the largest crew comes to UCO," Howard said. "These women are very determined and are hard workers. Some are even hired for full-time positions at UCO after they are out. I think this program is very beneficial to us," Howard said. State law requires the women working on campus from the Kate Bernard Community Correction Center to be distinguished from other workers. They can be seen on the UCO campus wearing their bright red vests. "The public has a right to know who these women ti-e and where they are from," Howard said. A list of the help needed throughout the campus is given to case workers at the center who, in turn, decide which job will be assigned to each woman. The women are placed with a full-time employee with instructions indicating what they can do. Various jobs include kitchen aids, cleaning in buildings, groundwork and assisting with special events. Some of the women have special skills, such as typing, and are placed in offices. If there are any women with negative attitudes, they are sent back to the center. "I only keep the ones with the positive attitudes," said Howard. These women also benefit from the social interacWork release program participant, "Carla," tion on campus.

cational association located in New Jersey. It gives qualified high school students an opportunity to take college-level courses and examinations. The student is given credit and/or advanced placement when entering college, based on his exam performance. The board is part of the educational testing service that scores the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and Graduate Record Exam (GRE). This year is the second time Wilson has been selected for this

program. "It is one of the few times college professors get to meet with high school teachers who teach college courses, and it's a way to maintain standards and make sure everyone is teaching at the same level," said Wilson. Faculty members from high schools and universities across the United States, as well as consultants from Germany and Japan, evaluated more than 695,000 examinations for the 1994-95 school year. 1

Earth's dock to gain 1 second By Nicki Cormier

Student Writer

Do you need more time to study this month? Relax, a second will be added to the Earth's atomic clocks at midnight June 30 to keep it precisely matched with solar time. Atomic clocks run independently of the Earth's rotation, which fluctuates due to tidal friction and atmospheric conditions. The adj us tment is needed to keep pace with the sun's precession along the vernal (spring) equinox. The leap second is added periodically, depending on the exact tune it takes the Earth to rotate around the sun. "If we didn't do this, eventu-

ally the seasons would get out of line, and we would be planting crops in winter instead of spring," said Dr. Weldon Wilson, assistant professor of physics at the University of Central Oklahoma. Over time, such fluctuations can add up. In the world of communications and navigation, the leap second is especially important when microsecond accuracy is needed. If astronomical timing is wrong, planes can stray into enemy territory, and missiles can fall off target, said Wilson. The United States Naval Observatory and International Earth Rotation Service in Paris will add the leap second only a year after the last adjustment, Natural History Magazine reported.

UCO foreign language students immerse' themselves for course By Jennifer Fox

Student Writer A group of University of Central Oklahoma foreign language students recently spent a weekend in another country only 45 minutes from Edmond. UCO Spanish and German students enrolled in the "Total Immersion" course, which is designed to help the student practice the language in a relaxed environment, and spent the weekend at S t. Gregory's College in Shawnee. The Spanish students brought posters and other objects to decorate the dormitories to look similar to something a person would find in Spain. The Spanish students' "Total Immersion" began June 10, with the students signing contracts agreeing that they would only speak Spanish during the weekend. "The idea is to build confidence, to let them feel comfortable, to be able to communicate," said Dr. Marcia Hakala, chairperson and associate professor of foreign languages and the students' Spanish teacher. The Spanish students enjoyed gaines, skits, dances, music and ethnic food, Hakala said. One of the assignments for the Spanish students was going to the store and purchasing the foods

they were going to need, while only being allowed to speak Spanish. At the end of the weekend, Hakala said that each of her students had to teach something to the group, whether it be a song, dance or game, as long as it was in Spanish. "It's really an informal thing," Hakala said. "Everyone laughs a lot." Dr. Rudy Nollert, assistant professor of foreign language, taught the German students over the weekend in a similar way. Nollert's students met at "Royal Bavaria," an authentic German restaurant the night of June 10 and had dinner together. Following dinner, they went to the dormitories at St. Gregory's and watched a German film together. The film is a way to get everyone into thinking in German, Nollert said. The German students spent part of the weekend touring the campus at St. Gregory's. St. Gregory's Abbey, which is where the Monks live, is an ideal place to illustrate the European culture, Nollert said. The campus has a church which was modeled similar to a European church and an Art Museum filled with actual European artwork. The students were only allowed

to have German spoken to them or between themselves during the tours. "They usually spend Saturday night to Sunday morning dreaming in German," Nollert said. The German students spent the last morning acting out or telling stories of how they would take a person from Germany on a tour in Oklahoma. "I'm certainly pleased with what students get out of it," Nollert said. Both Hakala and Nollert said they were pleased with the "Total Immersion" program. They said it was a chance for students to relax while improving their language skills in a more casual environment. The foreign language department piloted this program in the fall of 1989, Hakala said. Since that time, they have had students from five different continents and the Caribbean participate in the program. "Total Immersion" is not just for Spanish and German majors, but for French majors also. However, theFrench majors will not participate in "Total Immersion" until July of this summer. "Total Immersion" is a one hour credit and is offered in regular class enrollment. For more information, contact Hakala at 341-2980, Ext. 5845 or Nollert at 341-2980, Ext. 5847.

General believes Tinker will escape cuts By Keena Lucas Student Writer

The armed services have been evaluating air force bases, determining which ones to recommend for closure next year and Lt. Gen. Richard A. Burpee, former Tinker Air Force Base commander, is optimistic that Tinker will again escape the cuts. "I feel comfortable that the Air Force will not put Tinker on the list because of its military value," said Burpee. Burpee, vice president for Development and Community Relations at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been asked to serve on the 1995 Tinker Task Force. This round of closures is expected to focus on maintenance depots like Tinker. Last year, when Tinker faced closures, Burpee was the primary witness at the Base Closure and Realignment Committee (B RAC) hearings in Corpus Christi. The hearings were a success in keeping Tinker open as a major maintenance facility for the U.S. military defense, said Burpee. If Tinker is chosen as a depot to be closed, the process that oc-

curred last year will start over again. One of the factors in the base closing process is the economic impact on the state of Oklahoma. The total number of jobs affected directly and indirectly in Oklahoma total 60,000. The jobs directly related to Tinker total 29,000, which includes military and civilians on payroll. Payroll totals $700 million per year, Burpee said. "These people live in 37 of the 77 counties in Oklahoma," said Burpee. The jobs that are indirectly related to Tinker total 28,000, and this is a very conservative number, said Burpee. "Government has decreased our operational forces by 40 percent over the last two years and has decreased support by 14 percent," Burpee said. "Tinker is unique in that it can accommodate large airplanes," Burpee said. Burpee said other depots could not handle the work Tinker has.

Burpee said he wants to have 60 percent of the work to be done by Tinker's maintenance and

Lt. Gen, Richard A. Burpee

repair, which will affect direct jobs. The remaining 40 percent would be on aerospace contractors, which affects indirect jobs. The delegation will also include Tinker's military value to the nation, the money it would take to close Tinker, and the number of

years to pay for closure, which totals over 100 years, Burpee said. When the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce asked UCO President George Nigh if Burpee could chair the 1995 Tinker TaskForce, President Nigh did a quick evaluation of how a potential closing of Tinker would affect UCO. "It was determined by the vice president of student services, Dudley Ryan, who said that if Tinker closed, it would have an impact on UCO of something between 20 percent and 40 percent of enrollment," Burpee said. Nigh again went to the Board of Regents and asked to have Burpee share in this Task Force and they approved. Under the law that established the BRAC Commission, the 1995 round is the last of three that were scheduled. This round is expected to focus on maintenance depots such as Tinker. The services will give their recommendations to the secretary of defense, who will send a list to

BRAC. BRAC will then vote on which bases to close. Congress and the president must accept or reject the entire list. On March 1, 1995, the list will be made public by Congress, and by June 1, BRAC will have made their decision by possibly adding to or subtracting bases from the list, Burpee said. "Last year, BR AC was responsible for Tinkerpossibly closing. ' said Burpee . By the first of July 1995, BRAC will send its list to the president for approval. "President Clinton must approve the list, all or nothing," Burpee said, "In other words, if the president decides only one should close, and there are three on the list, he must reject it." Burpee explained that along with political appointees in the Defense Department, the 1995 BRAC Commission will be made up of eight members appointed by government officials

"The members to be appointed are supposed to be picked nonpartisan," said Burpee. In the meantime. Burpec said he will continue working with the Congressional delegation.

12 UCO students get essays published in textbook By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma will soon have its own customized version of the textbook Purpose and Process by Prentice Hall personalized by the inclusion of essays by 12 UCO students. "The customizing of texts has become fashionable especially in the freshman level," said Dr. Sandra Mayfield, associate professor and chairperson of the English department at UCO. One of the differences in this text is the inclusion of essays written by UCO students, said Mayfield. "There was an essay contest sponsored by Prentice Hall last

spring, and 12 winners from UCO will have their essays published in the text," said Mayfield. Prentice Hall offered the University this customized version and the chance to sponsor this contest, said Mayfield. "We worked with Jon Ballie, senior editor for Prentice Hall, and Amy Wilson, former regional representative for Prentice Hall, on this contest," said Mayfield. The customized version will be in use by this fall, said Mayfield. The book is a reader mandatory for English 1133, she said.

"My essays were written as class assignments ... polished and entered, they were about personal experience and knowledge," said Marcia Selby, a freshman English education major at UCO. "I believe that you have to know what you're writing about in order to write effectively," said Selby. Catherine Johnson, ajunior general studies major said, Going to UCO... I have been exposed to some very good writers, and have been able to fine tune my writing," Johnson said UCO's Creative

Math educators workshop open By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer

Future and current mathematics educators will get a two-week boost of continuing education from the mathematics department at the University of Central Oklahoma. The workshop. "Discrete Mathematics " will be held July 11-22. It is being ,, ffered as a source of "in service - education (pros..'‘ sional teacher continuing educ„ don), and it is worth two hours of college credit, said Thomas M. Campbell, instructor of mathematics at UCO. "It's kind of a methods course for teaching high school."

"School systems are shifting grades, and educators are being required to have more training," said Campbell. Teachers enroll in the workshop to gain middle school endorsement for teaching at higher levels, said Campbell. The middle school endorsement requires 24 hours of college math, because teachers in the middle school education system may have to teach up to the Algebra 1 level, said Campbell. "We will be discussing probability theory, statistics, logic and proofs, sequencing, counting systems and graph theory." said Campbell.

Permission is required to enroll in the workshop. Students must be graduate or undergraduate math education majors or practicing elementary educators (grades K-6) seeking middle school endorsement, said Campbell. "It's not too late. Students often enroll up to the week before the course," said Campbell. For the graduates and undergraduates, the workshop offers insight into the chapters that are often missed for lack of time during the normal semesters, said Campbell. For more information, contact Campbell at 341-2980, Ext. 5942 or consult your 1994 summer schedule.

lives every day like it's her last By Paul Eddy

Staff Writer am persistently feeling out life and learning as much as I can, but I'm trying not to look too much ahead," said Shelby Rothell, a freshman music theater major. This fall will be Rothell's second year dancing in the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company at the University of Central Oklahoma. Last semester I took four dance classes and danced any where from 3-8 hours a day," said Rothell. "I've danced my whole life, it began when my parents started me in dance because they thought I was kind of hyperactive," said Rothell. Rothell grew up in Jones, Oklahoma and graduated from John Marshall High School. "I started with tap and acrobatics and performed with Oklahoma Kids and other musical theater acts throughout my life," said Rothell. "Tap is my favorite style of dance, but I also do modern, ballet and jazz," said Rothell. "I really admire Elleanor Powell. She brought more grace to tap," said Rothell. As far as practice goes there has always been a dance room at my house. At first it was the living -

room because it had a hardwood floor, but it eventually was hollowed out by practicing with tap shoes. It was moved to the den because the den has tile floors, said Rothell. "I hope to be able to support myself doing some type of performing art, preferably musical theater in New York," said Rothell. "I just finished a run of `Camelot' at the Jewel Box Theatre from June 3-11, and next week I will leave for the Bill Evans Institute in Santa Fe for a month of modern dance," said Rothell. The reason that Rothell did "Camelot" was because Daphne McCoy, student director of dance, spring 1994, for the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company, choreographed the production. McCoy is going to go the Bill Evans Institute for its final two weeks, said Rothell. "When I came to UCO I got involved in this program that had music theater majors and dance majors working together, and so I got involved with the Kaleidoscopes," said Rothell. "Dancing is what started it all, and I really love the adrenaline rush and the exploration that you can make in it, but I also sing and act," said Rothell.

"I sang with a group called `Ruby Lane' for a while. We played Norman and Wichita (Kansas). but I decided that I couldn t do the band and school," said Rothell. "I' ve worked at Carpenter Square Theatre, Jewel Box Theatre, and have done a couple years apprentice at Lyric Theatre," said Rothell. "I hope that I can just continue to work in theaters in the future, I want to perform in plays on-andoff Broadway, I also want to try out for the traveling versions of the shows," said Rothell. "I love dance, but I want to do more than just dance... I have always liked the saying 'Live every day like it's your last, because one day you'll be right,'" said Rothell.
