Former secretary of defense chosen to head OKC Memorial Foundation

By Sandi Craig Staff Writer

F

ormer Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney addressed such topics as the United States' role in the world in respect to economic capabilities and the military status of the United States at a World Affairs Council of Central Oklahoma (WAC) luncheon last week in Oklahoma City.

At the luncheon it was announced that Cheney, chairman of the board of Halliburton- Company, has agreed to serve as the National Chairman of the Oklahoma City Memorial Foundation that will work toward building the Oklahoma City Memorial as a tribute to the victims of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.

Approximately 300 attended the luncheon, including students from UCO and University of Oklahoma, (OU) as well as Gov. Keating, former governors George Nigh, David Boren and David Walters and other area business leaders.

During the luncheon, distinguished service awards were presented to President George Nigh and Donald Paulsen, director of globalization at UCO. Cheney said, "The fact that we're ending the 20th century in an era of unparalleled prosperity is due in large part to U. S. leadership in the world, backed up by U. S. military force."

He said his concern today is that we seem to be forgetting the lessons that we've learned all too painfully in the past.

We are in danger of undermining our military

capability when we fail to draw the necessary conclusions from the lessons of the 20th Cenury and when we fail to make the investments that are required to insure our military superiority in the future, said Cheney.

"What I see passing for policy oftentimes out of Washington, instead of being guided by some kind of broad strategic vision of the U. S. role in the world or a broad understanding of the global economy, is that Congress and sometimes the administration seem to be motived more by a desire to score short-term political points. The end result, all too often, is the pursuit of policies that don't work and have unanticipated negative consequences," said Cheney.

Cheney served as Secretary of Defense under President Bush and said the thing he worried about during the Gulf War was the opening night at the first of the air war, because they thought the Iraqi air defenses would be most formidable that night. He said word came back that they had lost only one aircraft and he thought that was a small victory. Cheney said there was never any doubt about the outcome.

Paulsen said the (WAC) has three programs a year, one each in Oklahoma City, Norman and Edmond.

U. S. Ambassador to Mexico James R. Jones spoke at a reception in Edmond last fall, and there will be an event in Norman this fall, said Paulsen.

The WAC is a joint program sponsored by UCO and OU. The purpose of the council is to ensure the existence of a comprehensive international affairs program by promoting the study and public education of world affairs.

By Sandi Craig Staff Writer

A

noon dedication and barbecue alongside UCO's Broncho Lake will kick off festivities celebrating the completion of campus construction June 26.

Dr. Edward Pugh, executive assistant to President Nigh said, "We are having a number of distinguished speakers, followed by a picnic and barbecue."

The price for the barbecue is $2.

s to a new leader for answers

A

wise man once said, there are two ways to be a leader: Find out where everybody else is going and get in front of them or have an idea where you are going and convince others to follow you.

Next week, a new leader will take the helm of the University of Central Oklahoma. Speculation already has begun as to what kind of leader Roger Webb will be. The rumor mill has been working overtime. The phone lines to Tahlequah have been busy trying to glean insight about his past administrative skills at Northeastern State University. Unfortunately, the only other clue we have may be the bloodletting that's been going on in the Administration Building. Directors, department heads, and assorted assistant vice presidents have been dismissed, demoted or reassigned. Is this George Nigh cleaning house for the new president, or is it Roger Webb downsizing to save the university money?

Just what is Roger Webb's vision for UCO? Does he have a new idea?

UCO is unique among the regional universities and its mission is unique. It's faculty and students know what they are about and where they are going. He might consider getting at the front of the line.

LETTERS

Professor clarifies lack of accuracy of editorial cartoon

T

hat explosion you heard is actually the sound of U.S. Army Air Corps veterans rolling over in their graves when they see your editorial cartoon about the air show.

The plane identified as ME 109 Messersmitt is clearly a North American P-51 Mustang, the best fighter of WWII, which shot down many ME 109s, flown by Germans.

In addition, you put U.S. Navy on the side of the plane, and the Navy never flew it—only the

Army Air Corps (Not the U.S. Air Force—check your history book and you'll find it didn't exist yet).

Before taking off on flights of fancy with no way to bail out, it would be best to know a little history to keep from being shot down in embarrassment by the flak of accuracy.

—Dr. Terry Clark

Former Vista editor makes a plea to save UCO's yearbook

I

n the last editorial I wrote for The Vista, I made a plea to save the Bronze Book a plea which apparently fell on deaf ears. I recently heard elimination of funding for the Bronze Book was all but a done deal. Apparently the yearbook is not cost effective.

Cost effective—I hadn't realized that was a prerequisite at UCO. Are the trees cost effective? Is the lake cost effective? Both of these add to the beauty and atmosphere of the campus in ways that can't be measured in dollars. The same is true for the Bronze Book.

It is a tangible record of our university. Yes, The Vista does this too—but The Vista is the campus news paper. .

The point here is to report what's happening on —

campus now—in a timely manner. The Bronze Book has the advantage of perspective—the ability to do a year-in-review.

Like the highlight tape from a football game it's intended to spark our memories and kindle conversation.

Not enough students buy the Bronze Book to pay for its production—and perhaps the marketing should be reviewed and revamped.

But the cost effective argument doesn't wash. A university willing to pay $800,000 a year from the education budget to rent administrative office space in a renovated University Center should be willing to pay the price to chronicle its annual history.

Columnist challenges the 'American Dream'

By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer

R

emember that movie, An American Tale, about the family of mice who migrated from Russia to America?

COLUMN I liked that movie, so that was my first clue it had to be a socially unacceptable flick. It's taken a long time, but I think I know what's wrong with it now.

When those mice stepped off the ship, they should have immediately declared themselves Russian-Americans and demanded minority status in their new country.

It would seem the new "American Dream" is to find something different about yourself and claim special status with the government.

Different than what? Apparently,

1

anyone who can trace their geneology to something other than the white Anglo male can qualify as different.

Heritage and race are certainly something to be proud of, but I think it's more important to consider who we are rather than who we were.

For instance, I am descended from Germans, Scots and Irish.

My German heritage does not influence my feelings toward Jewish people. And I don't hate English people because of the British Empire's centuries of tyranny over Scotland and Ireland.

What possible good would it do me?

Maybe if there were enough people with the same background we could raise a louder cry and gain some kind of recognition for the special difficulties we face each day. The clamour of a group is harder to ignore than that of an individual.

By myself I'm a cry-baby, but with

GuAG.4.

0" 41,

another person and an acronym I'm a minority.

What would I complain about? I don't know, but I'm sure if I peeled back enough centuries I could find something to blame on modern America.

What impact would it have? That's hard to say. What good does it do descendants of Africans to complain about slavery in the U.S. when it no longer exists? What good does it do for American Indians to complain about the losses of their forefathers when countless other peoples have been conquered throughout history?

If you can't think of an answer, try asking what would happen if you promoted a Miss White U.S.A. contest to balance the Miss Black U.S.A. contest.

Suddenly you're not standing up for your heritage, you're a racist because you're excluding a heritage classified as a minority.

People call themselves Native Americans, African-Americans, AsianAmericans, Mexican-Americans, etc., etc.

They band themselves into small groups called Minorities, then they lobby Congress for special privileges based on their differences. And now we face the possibility of being forced to recognize non-heritage issues, such as sexual preferance, as basis for minority status.

At this rate we'll soon have legally recognized minorities such as Homosexual-Americans, VegetarianAmericans, Red-headed-Americans and so on ad infinitum.

We should remember that our ancestors did not come to America to be Hyphenated-Americans. They wanted to be Americans, plain and simple.

Take it from a German-Scottish-IrishHeterosexual-Caucasian-Oklahoman, we can be proud of our past, but prouder of the future our mixed heritage offers us.

rom the youngest legislator this state has ver elected, to the oldest university president Oklahoma has ever seen, George Nigh has notched many achievements in his political and civil service belts.

Born and raised in McAlester, it didn't take long for Nigh to realize what he wanted to be when he grew up. In a seventh grade vocations class at McAlester Junior High he wrote that more than anything he wanted to be governor.

"I don't remember when I didn't want to be governor," he recalled. "Not president, not senator, but governor."

At his senior class farewell assembly at McAlester High School, some of his classmates performed a skit featuring a girl clad in a gypsy costume peering into what was supposed to be a crystal ball. She foretold the futures of several of the school's seniors. When she got to Nigh, however, the skit turned comical.

"I see where George Nigh has been elected President of the United _States....Street Cleaners Association," Nigh remembered fondly.

After high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy. World War II was heightening and he was anxious to serve. He was in boot camp, though, when the war ended.

"They heard I was coming so they surrendered," he joked.

After a year and a half in the Navy, he came home and enrolled in a two-year college in Wilburton. Believing that politicians had to be attorneys, he enrolled at the University of Oklahoma Law School in 1948. While there, he lived in a rooming house in Norman where he Nigh's first day as president of UCO in 1992. (Photo by waited tables in return for room and board.

Daniel Smith) Only weeks into his first semester in law school,

President George Nigh performs reconstructive surgery on UCO during his five-year term

June 26, 1997 he realized he hated it and approached his landlord with the news that he was quitting.

"She didn't have quitters in her house and if I was a quitter she wanted me to get out then," Nigh remembered.

After promising her he would return for the spring semester, he went home. On a trip to see a friend several weeks later, an ice storm stranded him in Ada for three days. With no money for food, his friend recommended that he enroll at East Central University where he could eat for free in the cafeteria. Intent on withdrawing when the weather cleared, he enrolled. When the ice storm ended, though, Nigh stayed in Ada. "I fell in love with East Central," he said. "It changed my life."

During his senior year in Ada, he decided to run for the state Legislature. Defeating the incumbent, he became Oklahoma's youngest legislator.

Since the body only met every year and a half, he took a teaching position at McAlester High School where he taught government and history classes for seven years while balancing his role in state politics.The school board, though, saw a potential conflict of interest. He had to choose between politics and education. He chose politics.

In 1958, he ran for Lieutenant Governor and won. After losing the gubernatorial election in 1962, he remained in the state's second highest political office.

His personal life, however, would soon take an unexpected turn. He was 36-years-old, single and had matchmaker friends.

In 1963, a friend who worked for American Airlines_ wanted to arrange a blind date for him.

"There was a great looking single gal that worked for TWA....and he wanted me to meet her,, '

Nigh said.

He agreed to meet her at the coffee shop in her office. Seven months later, George and Donna were married.

"The chemistry was there," he said.

In 1978, Nigh again ran for governor; this time he won. In January, 1979, he began what would be an eight year term in that office. His proudest political achievement was being re-elected governor.

"You can get elected the first time but when you run for re-election, you run on your record," he said.

After leaving the Governor's office in 1987, he was presented a number of job offers.

Central State University offered him a teaching position, but he turned it down.

"I didn't want to be tied down," he said.

Then CSU offered him the position held by former Gov. Henry Bellmon when he left office.

Nigh accepted a position as Distinguished Statesman in Residence.

He said he had one request of CSU President Bill Lillard, though.

"Don't tell me what you paid him (Bellmon), but whatever you paid him,. Lwant to be paid $5,000 less."

His reason for the request was "so the republicans can't criticize me," he joked.

In his role as Distinguished Statesman in Residence, he lectured classes and taught seminars. He also founded the Nigh Institute which held programs emphasizing state government.

Nigh said he is proud of the fact that the Institute's first two speakers were then Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Lamar Alexander, who served as Secretary of Education under George Bush.

It wouldn't be long before Nigh would have to make another life changing decision.

In 1992, while driving home from Georgia, he and

5

Donna were traveling through the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee when he decided to call his office from his car phone.

It was then that he learned that Bill Lillard was resigning and that he might be a candidate for the position.

On the two day drive home, he and Donna discussed their options and decided he would apply.

When he approached the state regents, they made it clear that his mission would be to raise UCO's visibility and modernize the campus, said Nigh.

On July 1, 1992, at age 65, he became the oldest university president in Oklahoma history.

He said he recognized UCO had a top notch academic reputation but "this university needed a heartbeat," he thought. So he began reconstructive surgery.

When President Clinton spoke to over 2,500 people in front of the Old North Building last year, Nigh said he felt a heightened sense of pride.

He recalled seeing a UCO student on television after the President's speech who said, "He didn't go to OU, he didn't go to OSU, he came here."

"That," Nigh said "sums it up for me."

Nigh said one of his primary goals was to instill a sense of community at UCO and have students who are proud to be UCO graduates.

He also remembers a professor who came to his office after Thatcher Lake was completed and said "This finally feels like a university."

On July 1, George Nigh will retire. He has no definite plans for the future but said he will not remain at UCO in an official capacity.

"If I've accomplished anything," Nigh said, "it's that we're no longer known as 'Broncho High.'"

entral Oklahoma finished fourth out of 258 NCAA Division II schools in the final Sears Directors' Cup rankings for 1996-97.

"To place fourth among the over 250 NCAA Division Ii institutions that have athletic programs is a great testament to our coaches and student-athletes and how hard they work to succeed," UCO athletic director John "Skip" Wagnon said.

California-Davis captured its second straight NCAA Division II Sears Directors' Cup title

which honors the best athletic programs on the NCAA I, II, and III levels.

"Central has always had a strong athletic tradition and we're proud of what our teams accomplished this year," Wagnon said.

"It was certainly a tremendous year for us, from the start of things in the fall all the way through the end of May with the great run our baseball team had," Wagnon said.

Central's baseball team led the way with their runner-up finish in the NCAA II World Series.

Central also finished third in wrestling, and tied for fifth in g!D golf and football.
