Students forgiven for grades •

FDA seeking cause of patch attacks NEW YORK (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration is investigating reports that people wearing nicotine patches while smoking have suffered heart attacks. Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, Mass., told the FDA that five such heart attacks occurred between April and mid-June. The patches, worn like adhesive bandages, contain nicotine that is secreted into the skin. The three companies that make the patches saidthey were aware of the problem and were looking into it.
Estonians 'kroon new monetary tune TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Estonians were rushing to trade rubl es for concrete valuables before their own currency, the kroon, is introduced. The Bank of Estonia this week said the kroon would be introduced Saturday, but so far has not explained how many rubles can be exchanged for kroons. Widespread expectations the ruble will be worthless aftei Saturday led to a rush to dump the currency once used throughout the Soviet Union. Long lines formed at stores and at banks in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, as people tried to get rid of rubles by buying consumer products and paying bills.
Perot spots bargain DENVER (AP) — Ross Perot has a simple answer to Democratic and Republican critics who say the billionaire Texas businessman is trying to buy his way into the White House: They're absolutely right. "I'm buying it for the people because they can't afford it — you made it too expensive," Perot said. Perot's direct assault on those who rebuke his wealth and largely selffinanced campaign is part of a stump speech that's both folksy and funny, with a good dose of criticism for both President Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton.

The University of Central Oklahoma, in cooperation with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, have announced the adoption of a new "academic forgiveness policy." The policy was approved by the state regents, May 29, and goes into effect in the fall of '92. An addendum to the 1992-93 undergraduate catalog shows the policy offers op-
portunities for academic forgiveness to undergraduate students who show promise of succeeding at the college level after an earlier academic setback resulting in a poor academic record. The policy has two provisions which include repeated courses and academic reprieve. The repeated courses provision allows undergraduate students to repeat a maximum of 12 semester hours in which the original grade was a D or F. The second attempt will count in the calculation of the retention and graduation
grade point averages. If a student repeats an individual course more than once, all grades earned, with the exception of the first, are used to calculate the retention and graduation grade point average. Students repeating more than the first 12 hours of Ds and Fs may do so with the original grades and repeat grades averaged. "We anticipate this affecting more students than the reprieve," said Sharon Martin, acting registrar. This will be administered by academic advisors, she said.

Anorexia and Bulimia: Social stigmas or socially accepted? By Angela Mitchell
Staff Writer
She quietly slips away from the dinner table and makes her way to the restroom. She checks to make sure she's alone, approaches the toilet and then vomits up her meal. Specialists say that eating disorders, like the bulimic example above, are on the rise. More and more people are falling victim to the social stigma of the perfect body being the model or body builder. "Eating disorders are very common on the UCO campus," said Janis Chapel, University of Central Oklahoma counselor. "In fact, we have about 10 to 15 students per
year who come in, and I know there are many more on campus." Eating disorders are broken down into three forms: anorexia nervosa (selfstarvation), bulimia (binging and purging) and compulsive overeating. Anorexia develops from the fear of gaining weight. Anorexics are usually thin and go long periods of time without eating. They may periodically binge and purge like bulimics. Bulimia is the most common form of an eating disorder. The person binges and purges and is average to slightly above average in body size. They do most of their eating alone and away from social activities. "Bulimics have usually tried every diet around. They can't quit binging, therefore
resulting in purging," said Chapel. They purge through self-induced vomiting, overusing laxatives and diuretics, fasting or overeating and excessive exercise, she said. "Most people don't realize that exercise is a purging device. If someone eats excessively then justifies that by increasing their exercise plan, the exercise isn't helpful," said Chapel. "These people will usually deny their eating problem." Chapel said compulsive overeaters are usually overweight and eventually become obese. They eat to deal with all situations and feel out of control. Most of their food is eaten in private to avoid drawing attention

A razor-sharp deterrent • Keeping punishments a secret: Is it a student's right or another's deprivation?
W
hen a person screws up and gets caught, it should be known. That's part of the punishment. Unless it happens to be a student at the University of Central Oklahoma. Last spring, two UCO students were caught red-handed in a scheme that would rival any Paramount Pictures plot. But Paramount would have names. Too bad so sad for UCO, getting the low-down, nitty-gritty scoop on scandal or names just isn't happening and that's wrong. Students have the right to know. Two students at UCO nearly pulled off a scandalous escapade where one student took a class for another and nearly made it without being caught until a tip alerted the academic administration guys. They were found out, but what happened to them and who they are remains a mystery. The matter was kept under the rug until The Edmond Sun broke the story. Only then was any light shed upon the forgingstudent case. Students have the right to know what is happening behind the scenes as well as the fluff up front. Good or bad news, whichever the case may be, the administration needs to be less tight-lipped. Those students who walk the straight and narrow get mad when bozos attempt to beat the system, so wouldn't it be nice to have an identity to be mad at? Those students do have rights. But are those rights denied if only the penalty is explained? On the other hand, doesn't the student who remains clean have the right to know what strange person, or persons, lurks before them with lavish schemes of wrongdoing? So, a direct address to the administration on behalf of the students of UCO: "Lighten up and let us know what's going on around this joint." Let us know who those students are, and what happened to them. It could happen again and couldn't the thought of their names being plastered in the media be a razor-sharp deterrent?

All I hear is 'more teachers' e are the students of computer science. When we opened a school schedule, we chose the course we want. As a matter of fact, we don't have much choices. The option of each course that we can choose only has two or three, except for "Introduction to Computing Systems." Everybody,
W
studied in computer science, knows our teachers that are inadequate. Since the increasing of people entry this university, school should naturally add more teachers into each department. Not only for students, but also enhancing the level of school. Moreover, if you take a look at the other university schedule, you will
find out other school which provides more courses for student, for example, "File Structure," "Compiler," "Software Engineering" and so on. School should notice this problem in order to teach students for more adaptability to this variety society.

"Rules should be set for the punishment and the campus should be informed. There should be no suprises. It should be like a parking sticker. When you get one you know where to park and where not to. If you park in an area that's not allowed you know the punishment."
"The punishment should be the same for everyone. Everyone is equal. God created everyone equally and there shouldn't be any difference from one person to another."
Karen James nursing major senior "Definetely a set punishment! It should be the same punishment for the same offense. Why should other things be taken into consideration? It should never enter into it."

Mad hatters bring fashion back By Traci McKnight Staff Writer To some the new wave of individualistic, sometimes eccentric hatwear symbolizes gang-related activities, to others the new trend is simply a fashion statement. "I'm fashion conscious with the hats I wear," said George Barnes, an Oklahoma City resident. "I buy hats I think are cool, and I wear them because I think they're cool." John Clark III, an Oklahoma City resident of two years, said he doesn't want to get on a soap box and preach, but that his hats are just things he personally believes in. Some people today associate hats with gang activities or rebellious statements. The hat with an "X" on it to some means a remembrance of Malcolm X and what he stood for, to others it is simply a fashion statement. "It's a tribute to Malcolm X. I should've gotten one a long time ago, but I didn't think about it," said Clark. "I'm not going to go out and get militant. It just stands for what I agree with."
Clark said he bought the hat and wanted one long before the violence in Los Angeles began. "I thought it was cool, so I got it from the Spike Lee store," said Barnes. Barnes said he prefers to buy most of the hats he wears from specialized catalogs. "Spike Lee has a catalog that has really cool hats, and so do the Beastie Boys. It's good to buy hats from the catalogs because you can look at them and see which ones are cool," said Barnes. But he said he occasionally finds interesting hatwear in Oklahoma City at Gil's Contemporary Clothing. Although Gil's carries some unususal hats, Kim King, a store employee, said they don't consider the gang issue when they make buying decisions. "We have a lot of every type of customer. Our customers are black, white, Chinese, everything," said King. "Anything can be a gang thing. Five people can get together and decide they 're going to wear pink t-shirts and go kill little kids, and it is a gang thing." Barnes' first hat, which began his passion for head gear, was one his father bought in 1962 and gave to him.
Renewed values: express or suppress
W
elcome to the Oklahoma City Public Prison System! At least that's what I feel like calling the Oklahoma City Public School system after the suggestion to require students to wear uniforms to school. Isn't this the decade of MTV, expressing yourself, and renewed '60s values? The supporters of this movement towards conformity, say that it will cut down on the gang-related violence and relieve all the immense pressure that children of today feel from their peers. Maybe the older generation trying to implement these strict regulations on individuality don't remember when they were kids. That if it wasn't your clothes not being as good as the next guys, it was something else that was causing you some king of grief; whether it was so-and-so said something about you, or you really wanted to go out with someone, and they didn't want to go out with you. If it's the gang-related symbolism involved with dressing I really don't think this will solve the problem. It wasn't too awful long ago that I was in school, and I remember knowing exactly what everybody was into even when they didn't want anyone to know. So I'm sure that the small percentage of kids that
want to make a gang statement are going to do so somehow, with or without uniforms. In Langston, Oklahoma, where this program has already been passed, boys will be required to wear blue pants and white shirts and girls will be required to wear blue jumpers with white shirts. What about the 180-pound girl that really isn't flattered by a blue jumper and just ends up looking like a giant blueberry. Oh, but I guess that still won't cause her any stress. What about the rebellious kids who figure out that they can make a gang statement by the way they cut their hair or by the earrings they wear? How far does this limit to self-expression go? Are we slowly heading back to the pre-'60s era of hair above the ears and collar, and girls only wearing dresses? I was always told in school that "It's a tough world out there" and "You need to be mature about things and learn to think for yourself because pretty soon you won't have anyone to tell you what to do all the time." Well, I think if someone would've told me then that dressing myself was just a little too stressful for me to handle that might've struck me as being a little contradictory. --Traci McKnight Staff writer
"He gave the hat to me when I was a freshman at OU. It was a Yankee's hat and I wore it everyday. Then everybody started wearing hats, so I started wearing hats they'd never seen before," said Barnes. Barnes said people usually re-
mark on his unusual hats. "People say 'What does the ' S ' stand for? What does that mean?'" said Barnes. "It's really annoying when people take your hat off." Clark said he wears different hats all the time, and people ask him the same questions.
"The art of hats is getting one that no one else has or can get," said Barnes. "Like, my friend likes to find hats on the side of the highway. Hats like that are so dirty — that makes them different and cool," said Barnes. V
Relationships equal excuses
Rs
elationships ... why are they o damn hard? Is it written in the relationship handbook? Please help me, I just don't understand! The craziest thing about dating is the whole "does-he-like-me" or "does-she-like-me" bit. Why can't a person just approach another person and say what they're feeling? That way, the question is answered and the stress level is lowered. People totally torment themselves, and their friends, by constantly asking "Does he like me, or are we just friends?" This question has got to be the most irritating of them all! But it's s000000 true. How can you tell? How can anyone tell?

GOOD MID-MORNING OKLAHOMA CITY
Former student rocks listeners
By Traci McKnight Staff Writer KATT radio DJ, KATT production manager and KJ 103 DJ are just a few of the things that broadcasting classes from the University of Central Oklahoma and a lot of ambition will get you, according to Mark McCuen. "When I came out of high school, I knew I wanted to do radio and I knew I wanted to get started in college. I went in there and said `Hey, I want to take all the usual freshman stuff, but I also want to take a radio lab.'" The counselor told 19- year-old Mark McCuen that he shouldn't really do that until his junior or senior year. McCuen said he kind of growled at her, so she let him. In the 14 years after that day, former UCO student Mark McCuen has certainly proven himself a success story. Since attending Central State University, in the late '70s McCuen has done exactly what he dreamed of. He became an established radio disc jockey. "I came in and went for a couple of years, and you know that usual bright-eyed school kid thing. I thought that I would go to school for a couple of years and a radio station would come along and go `Let's rescue you from this,'" said McCuen. "Yeah right! So when that didn't pan out, I kind of broke loose and did clubs for a while and found out that was kind of a dead end street." McCuen has worked for some of the popular radio stations in Oklahoma City. "In Oklahoma City I've worked for KJ 103. I worked there for about three years. I started out at KTOK across the hall, then I went to KJ 103 and then I came here (KATT). Really I guess I'm kind of a radio oddball. Most guys move around a lot. I've only played at a couple of stations," said McCuen. McCuen said he really does not favor any one station that he has worked for over another. "Each had its advantages. I enjoyed a lot of the people I worked with at KJ. It was a very tight environment, real high-stress," said McCuen. "Not to say that this isn't, because I have one of the most high-stress gigs here, being in charge of production. But, it (KJ 103) seemed to be even more high stress because it's so laid back here (KATT)." McCuen attributes much of his success to networking with the radio stations in Oklahoma City. "When I was in high school and I got here to Oklahoma it wasn't like L.A., where I was from. The stations were all very close. So I made friends with some of the guys at what is now KTNT which was KWHP back then. I went up there and started hanging out with those guys. And then it's like `Hey, can I go play in the produc-
tion room,' and they were like `Yeah, — said McCuen. "Then I did that at what is now KJ, which was KZUE, and I went up there and made friends with all those guys, one of them being Les Michaels. So it was the same type of situation. I'd hang out with them, help them do their shows," said McCuen. He said he still has one of the first tapes he ever did from one of those shows, and he laughs at it even today. "Someone could like, destroy me by playing that air check," said McCuen. "The business has to be more versatile. So there's a lot of stuff that happens real fast. Some of the systems I used a couple of years ago don't work now, because you have to be able to move real fast on them," said McCuen. "It's just not something you can learn in a classroom really. That's why I went right downstairs (to his counselor) and said 'Hey, put me in a radio station, put me behind the wheel. — McCuen's career, however, has not been a complete fairy-tale story, free from life's little embarassing moments. "I had a sore throat, and I was nursing it with the old home remedy of tea, honey, bourbon and whiskey. And it worked really good for a while. All of a sudden my throat just flared, and I got one of those sore throats where your throat just locks up on you. So all of a sudden in the course of about 15 minutes I went from me to E.T.," said McCuen. McCuen said he always tries to let his real personality come through when he is on the radio. "When I'm on the radio, I just try to be myself. I don't try to be anything else," said McCuen. McCuen said he hates stations that ask their DJs to adopt "goofy" names to use on the air, and that he is glad his real name sounds exciting enough to use on the air. Although McCuen is a popular radio personality he said that he thinks of himself as a down-toearth kind of guy, and that people should not idolize DJs. "People who are into disc jockeys like that, they almost read a character into them. They think `Ok, this person's a disc jockey, he works for a rock station, he must be a real rocker.' Then they build up this character, and you find someone pursuing you that doesn't really know who you are," said McCuen. "Then they find out that you're different than what they read into you as a character, and they feel like they've been tricked. When I worked for KJ, they thought I was just wired for two-twenty. And when I'm on the job I am, but when I'm not, I'm very laid back," said McCuen. McCuen said he has accomplished one of his goals in life and has reached a milestone in his life. "The KATT was the station that
Above: Former University of Central Oklahoma student Mark McCuen at work in the KATT radio studio. McCuen works the midmorning shift, Mondays through Fridays.(Photo by Mark Zimmerman) I always wanted to work for when I was a kid when I came here. So it's kind of nice to see that chapter of my life kind of come to an end, said McCuen. Rock 'n roll radio is not his only love, and even though his youthful goals have been reached he still has other things he would like to accomplish in his career. "I'd like to get into some jazz programming. That's one of the things I picked up at KCSC, a real heavy taste for jazz. I also wouldn't mind working at a progressive station," said McCuen. His main advice to aspiring DJs is to get hands-on experience and to network within the radio community. "You can read the books all day long, but you can't really learn radio until you get behind the equipment and start doing it," said McCuen. V

Kids learn about life Firefighters, animals teach special education kids By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Special Education Preschool is hosting a number of events during the month of June. The first event, held June 16, consisted of a demonstration from the Edmond Fire Department. The firefighters brought a fire truck to the campus and allowed the children to get inside and have a better understanding of the equipment. The OKC Zoomobile entertained the kids, June 24. The zoo workers brought animals for the children to pet and learn more about, said Karen McGrath, preschool director. Other events throughout the month will consist of an EMSA ambulance demonstration, June 30, and the Edmond Police Department will talk about a policeman's duties later this summer. "These events are not only to entertain the children, but to educate them," said McGrath. The preschool has been on cam-
pus since 1964 and is located in the Old North Building. Twenty-four children are allowed in the summer semester and 12 children in the fall and spring, said McGrath. The children, ages 4 through 7, are referred from the Edmond Public School after testing.
66 These events are not only to entertain the children, but to educate them. Karen McGrath Preschool director
Some problems the children face include speech-language disabilities, learning disabilities, mental retardation, behavioral or emotional problems, hyperactivity disorders and medical difficulties. The preschool is free to the children, but enrollment is limited and availabilty is chosen on the basis of whoever enrolls first.
"The Edmond School System usually calls me and explains the situation of a particular student," said McGrath. "The sessions usually fill up quickly." Besides the 24 students, the program includes 30 university students, 15 speech therapists in training, 5 speech pathology faculty members, one teacher and one assistant. The students enter the program on a practicum basis. They receive one credit hour for every 32 hours they spend in the lab. The areas of enrollment for the students include mental retardation, emotional disturbance, learning disabilities, physical handicaps or general education, she said. The preschool is sponsored by the the university, the Edmond Women's Club and AMBUCS.V

Professor's feet lead him to exotic places By Allen Norbury Staff Writer The sign hangs on the cramped wall amidst other features, facts and fortunes. Underneath the large ball-cap collection the sign is framed in wood and smothered in glass with Roman style writing. It exclaims this noble verse, "He who volunteers shall be rewarded." Another sign states "Life is a series of task lists." It is appropriate for the office of a man who also proudly displays on his uncluttered desk a red sign with white letters swiftly pronouncing Dr. Richard Sullivan as a "successful workaholic." If the shoe fits, wear it, and this University of Central Oklahoma occupational technology education professor wears it well. Last May, Sullivan's shoes traveled to Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, where he helped physicians sharpen their skills in training other physicians, nurses and midwives in family planning techniques. "My responsibility was to go in with the physician from John Hopkins University who would train them on the medical procedures. Then I would take them in the classroom and teach them how to teach others," Sullivan said. Sullivan got to Cairo by being at the right place at the right time doing the right thing. "This subsidiary group, John Hopkins Program for International Family Planning (JHPIGO), asked me to assist them in developing a training manual. During this process, since I was writing this training manual, they asked
Dr. Richard Sullivan me if I would like to go to Africa," he said. Sullivan took them up on that offer and began his travels. "That went very well, so they asked me to go to Egypt." Sullivan, however, keeps his head out of the clouds and still realizes that it's work. "It's fascinating going to other cultures. But it's not as much fun as you would think," he said. "I was in Egypt for two weeks and had one day off." Being in a strange culture didn't bother Sullivan. "I felt extremely safe there. The people were wonderful. Cairo is very crowded, but it's a fascinating city," Sullivan said. Language was not a barrier for Sullivan. "They all spoke English. But I did have to observe them in the classroom where the trainers taught in Arabic," he said. "You would think that would be very difficult, but it was really easy for me because you can tell if someone is an effective teacher regardless of the language," Sullivan said. Through the response from stu-
dents, Sullivan said he could tell if the trainer was effective or not. "Response from students such as questioning, smiles, eye contact, voice level or their movement, you can tell." "So from that standpoint, the training was very successful. They were very responsive," Sullivan said. On a more personal side, Sullivan said the differences of American culture compared to others he's seen struck a chord with him. "I think the most interesting thing to me about traveling overseas like that is that we really take what we have for granted," he said. "I mean you realize that life in our country is very different than most parts of the world." "While Cairo is fascinating, and
66 Cairo is very crowded, but it's a fascinating city. Dr. Richard Sullivan UCO professor I love the people, it's very different than Edmond, Oklahoma." "So I think that's one of the most fascinating things is compar-

ing the cultures and having a little bit of understanding for people in different countries," Sullivan said. Along with that Sullivan, like other teachers, felt a personal victory in teaching others. "In a professional sense, the physician and trainer were extremely receptive
to being trained. They were really eager and were excellent students. It was very rewarding to be a teacher to them," he said. Sullivan will continue his work in teaching others and soaking in other cultures when he travels to the Phillipines this summer. V

Broncho athletes make All-academic By Justin Harper Sports Editor Two Central Oklahoma tracksters and one tennis player were recently named to the All-Lone Star Conference Academic Team, while several other UCO athletes were named to the Honorable Mention Academic Team Kyle Skartwed and Matt Parent made the team for the second year in a row, and Amy Cohlmia made her debut on the prestigious list.

talent infusion by signing two home-grown players who took the long way en route to UCO. Junior College standouts April Williams and Lynda Thomas signed on to play for the Lady Bronchos beginning next season. Williams is a third baseman/shortstop who comes from Crowder (Mo.) Junior College where she was a twotime juco All-American and led the team to a national runner-up finish last season. Williams played her high school ball at nearby Western Heights in Oklahoma City, and was a 1990 Oklahoma All-State selection. Thomas was also an Oklahoma All-Stater in 1990 at Tuttle high school. Thomas stayed in state attending Northeastern Oklahoma A&M where she played second base. The switch-hitting Thomas was named to the second team juco All-America list last season. The Lady Bronchos just completed one of their best season's in years after going 26-14. After establishing itself as a contender last year, the Lady Broncho team could be in line to receive pre-season accolades as well as make a strong run at a national ranking and a bid to the NCAA II national tournament.

UCO promotes Wright to full-time assistant Rod Wright, a long time Central Oklahoma assistant basketball coach, has been named a full time assistant coach for the Bronchos. Wright, who has been at UCO for five years, is the Bronchos first full-time assistant coach in over a decade. Wright will also teach in the physical education department. An Oklahoma native, Wright attended Northeast High School and played collegiate basketball at Rose State College and Southwestern College of Winfield,Kan. While at Southwestern Wright was ranked among the top rebounders in NAIA both years. Wright's first year at UCO was in 1987-88, also the year Jim Seward became head coach of the Bronchos, he has served as a graduate assistant and student assistant since that time. While at UCO wright has received his bachelors and master's degree in physical education. Wright is involved in all aspects of the Broncho program, with recruiting being his primary responsibility.
"This is Rod's fifth year of involvement in our program and he deserves a great deal of credit for helping us turn things around," Seward said. "I'm most appreciative of his loyalty and dedication over the years." V

Disorders Continued from page 1 to the large amounts consumed. Some causes for eating disorders include psychological issues, biological dispositions, personality traits and learned behaviors. In today's society, most people base themselves on their body weight and features. This confuses
a person into believing their body determines their value as a human being. People with eating disorders often suffer from depression and low self-esteem. They turn to food to help deal with stressful situations, said Chapel. Signs of an eating disorder in-
elude severely restricted diets, categorizing food as "good" or "bad," continuous thoughts of food, eating, weight and body image and counting calories. People who suffer from eating disorders often "feel fat" no matter what their weight may be. "Eating disorders can definitely be treated. Most cases here on
campus can be solved through counseling," said Chapel. "Some people may be more severe and need hospitalization, but they do get better." Treatment for eating disorders involves therapy, counseling and hospitalization, she said. They usually undergo behavior modification, psychotherapy and
group sessions. "When people come to me for information about an eating disorder, I talk with them and educate them on the forms of eating disorders and treatments," she said. For more information about eating disorders, contact the UCO counseling center at ext. 2215. V

academic reprieve is irrevocable, the addendum showed. "Academic reprieve is a statewide policy designed to help students who just did not do well or had a disasterous semester and left school for whatever reason. The forgiveness policy had been underway at UCO for about two years, Jacob said. Plus, the regents were working on one as well. "I serve on the Council of Instruction and I knew we had a forgiveness policy and I tried to coordinate the two. It's a fairly complicated process to develop one of these," Jacob added. Jacob also said the job of informing students is difficult. "The
Forgiveness Continued from page 1 Only students who were enrolled and completed coursework at UCO between fall 1990 and summer 1992 will be allowed the option of graduating under the previous UCO policy. That policy . allows only the last grade earned to be calculated for graduation GPA, whereas the new policy sets the second attempt grade as the calculation grade for graduation and retention, the addendum showed. Students are allowed 12 semester hours under the repeat provision during their academic career, Martin said. The second provision, academic reprieve, offers a break for students who had false starts early in their academic career and are returning to school. "Its intent is to encourage those
adults who had bad starts to come back to school," said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs. The academic reprieve allows students to request a reprieve for up to two consecutive semesters of academic coursework earned only at UCO. To be eligible to petition the Office of Academic Affairs for this reprieve a student must meet three conditions. 1)At least three years must have passed between the time the grades were earned and the reprieve request. 2)Before a student can request a reprieve, the student must have earned a GPA of at least 2.0 with no Ds or Fs in regular classwork with a minimum of 12 hours excluding activity of performance courses. This work could be done at any accredited higher education institution recognized by UCO.
ment or two consecutive semesters or terms of enrollments. If the student's request is for two consecutive semesters, the Undergraduate Academic and Retention Committee may choose to reprieve only one semester, the addendum showed. "The reprieve allows students to select the semester, but you can't selectively choose classes. It must be an entire semester," Lynd said. "And only two semesters can be taken if they are consecutive," Martin added. Academic reprieve will be granted only once in a student's
reprieved. A student cannot select specific courses in the semester to reprieve, all grades and hours are included. Students who have had a semester reprieve will not receive credit for any courses passed during the reprieved semester or semesters. Therefore, courses needed for their degree program must be retaken or challenged through the advanced standing process, the addendum showed. If a request for a reprieve is granted, the student's transcript will note the courses and semester or semester reprieved. If the student has an earned degree, only academic work taken after the conferment date of the degree can be presented for academic reprieve. If approved, an
timing is bad. We're obligated to implement the policy, but at the same time we have an obligation to be fair to the students," Jacob said. "We're in a frenzy to get the word out." V

Vaccine keeps chimps AIDS-free WASHINGTON (AP) — Chimpanzees inoculated with an experimental vaccine were protected against the AIDS virus even when they were injected with virus-contaminated blood cells, researchers say in a study published today. Patricia Fultz of the University of Alabama in Birmingham, lead author in a report in the journal Science, said the chimps that received the AIDS vaccine remained free of viral infection for up to a year after injections with contaminated blood. "This proves we're on the right track," she said The study tested how effective an AIDS vaccine would be against a virus that is contained within blood cells. The vaccine in an earlier study was tested against free-floating virus,, which are virus particles in the plasma of the blood, but not within the blood cells.
20,000 riot in downtown Boston BOSTON {AM— Concertgoers rampaged downtown after police stopped a free outdoor show that officers feared was getting out of hand. At least two dozen people were inj ured and about 20 w ere arrested, police said Everyone just went crazy," said Mike Martin, 19. "The emcee on stage said This isn't L.A., don't be like L.A.' ... People were running everywhere. It was like a swarm of people." Police decided to stop the comedy and music concert Thursday night at City Hall Plaza after the "unruly crowd" of about 20,000 ignored orders to quit surging toward the stage, said police Superintendent William Bratton. Several minor fights had broken out by that time he said
Pentagon spends half-billion booting gays from armed forces WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional investigators say the government spent nearly a half-billion dollars from 1980 to 1990 to replace homosexuals that the Pentagon forced out of military service. The report by the General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, found that the service branches discharged an average of 1,500 people a year solely for being homosexual. Pentagon policy deems homosexuality incompatible with military service and the maintenance of "good order, morale and discipline." But the GAO said studies and professional organizations challenge that stand. Pentagon policy against homosexuality appears to fall disproportionately on women. And the Navy is the most aggressive service branch in discharging homosexuals, the report found.
Chicken plant stirs up 'fowl' odor FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) — Not every member of the city's Board of Directors supports a suit against a poultry rendering plant accused of stinking up the town. The vote was 4-2 this week to join a suit that Attorney General Winston Bryant filed last September against Arkansas Proteins. Bernice Kizer and Ben Shipley, who voted against becoming involved in the suit, said they had reservations about blaming Arkansas Proteins, because the city's sewage has odor problems of its own. The sewage plant is near the rendering plant. "We're bringing a suit against one individual company when we have several companies here in town that people have complained about," Ms. Kizer said. "Are we asking the court to do something against someone else when we might find we are guilty?" But many Fort Smith residents have complained for more than a decade that the Arkansas Proteins plant fouled the air in the northern and central sections of the city.
