Tentative budget released for 95-96 By Joy McNutt Staff Writer
The proposed UCO 1995-96 budget, was unanimously approved by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges on June 23. "The biggest news in our new budget is what we've been able to do with salaries," UCO president George Nigh said. Faculty and staff pay raises averaging 5.3 percent depend on the State Regents' approval of proposed tuition increases. Full-time staff will receive 4 percent across-the-board or a minimum of $900 raise. Faculty will receive 4 percent plus their regular promotion and experience raises. Summer pay will

increase 5 percent. Nigh said the new budget is designed to be less dependent on reserve funds. In a move toward self-sufficiency or cash flow, Nigh said the new budget shows an effort to encourage revenue producing strategies to offset costs. For example, the new budget shows a decline in research funding, from $757,000 fiscal year 1994-95 to $476,000. Nigh said UCO wants research; however, he is asking
faculty to apply for research grants which can be applied to operating expenses. Dr. George P. Avellano, dean of graduate college, said faculty who want release time for research are encouraged to apply for grants which pay for that. Research grants can pay for release time, equipment and materials, student wages and graduate assistantships depending on the grant. Some also pay for indirect costs involving the administration of the grant,
Policies concerning student activity fees often misunderstood By Paisley Krout
Staff Writer More than $1 million in student activities were collected during the 94-95 fiscal year at UCO. Many students wonder or complain about how these fees are spent. Some say that more scholarships should be given from these fees, when in fact, approximately $400,000 of student activities fees support student scholarships. Many student organizations continue to fundraise and new organizations struggle simply because they are uninformed of the funding process.

"Most students don't realize how to get what is available. It is very important to be informed and understand the process associated with student fees," said Ben Harris, president of the President's Leadership Council. "There's no reason for groups to fundraise. Students just have to be informed how to get what their organizations need." The Student Activity Fee Advisory Team, which makes recommendations to President George Nigh on the dispersion of student activity fees, has changed their annual meeting date from the spring to the fall.

Avellano said. "The more indirect money we can get in, the more we have to pay for the position of director of faculty research," Avellano said. Moving toward self-sufficiency, Outreach Continuing Education is expected to pay for its administration and instruction costs with expected revenue earned of $500,000. Some public services will be cut to improve cash flow. High school driver education will no longer be offered after
July 15 because the Edmond Board of Education was unable to pay for the use of the facility to make it self-sufficient, Nigh said. However, the rehabilitative driving courses will remain and be enhanced and enlarged, underwritten by the State Department of Rehabilitative Services. Nigh said he expects fall enrollment to be down slightly due to the inconvenience of getting around campus during the construction activity. Still, weekend enrollment is increasing, Nigh said, predicting that in three or four years it will reach 3,000 to 4,000 students. Fall 1995 evening enrollment is

Voters must remain informed to make proper choices

oters today complain about their government being too overbearing. And they complain even more when the Legislature tries to change it. Only an uninformed voters would. Take June's vetoes for example. Gov. Keating vetoed more bills this month than any governor in the history of Oklahoma. Among the vetoed bills were $8 million increases for common education and $226,000 for the OTAG program. This affects you, the UCO student. Some voters are outraged that increased funding was vetoed while others rejoice. UCO students pay the government in their tuition and taxes. Should we expect a more of a return from our investments than increased tuition? Don't be surprised by Keating's cuts and vetos, be informed. It is typical Republican policy to advocate a government that is small and doesn't restrict individual freedom and commerce. Isn't that what we all want—more freedom? Bigger government means more aid, but it also means more policies, laws and taxes. Hate to break it to you America, but you can't have both. This is what education—being informed—is all about. Be angry at Keating's vetoes if you don't agree with Republicans' small government, but don't complain about not getting increased aid to pay for school if you do. Another example is that Keating vetoed funding increases for the program Head Start, which is education for poor preschoolers. Some argue that Keating is like a bully taking money away from the disadvantaged. Yet, in order to down-size government we must be willing to endure the loss of further funds to Head Start. No one but the student can carry the burden of the responsibility to learn. Hand-outs don't teach responsibility, but dependence. The majority of Oklahomans voted in a Republican landslide last November because they wanted change. They should have expected it. Only an uninformed voter wouldn't. So let Keating do what he was voted in to do. Remember, whether you voted for Keating and the Legislature of Oklahoma or not, you are their boss. They work for you. Know what's going on and vote on it. A

`11-Spr new interactive tool in psychotherapy By Joy McNutt Staff Writer The tips of a ficus tree touch the ceiling, its green leafy branches catching the sunlight through slats in Venetian blinds. Eyes of wolves, native Americans and running athletes peer from pictures on the walls. A fringed moose-skin jacket hangs in the middle of a wall of shelves lined with books. His office is filled with visual images, every one a clue to another story that makes up the psyche of UCO Psychology Professor, Dr. John Michael Knight. Flashing an energetic smile of straight white teeth beneath his thick brown mustache, Knight talked about his life and his recently published book. Along with family therapist Dr. Robert Doan, Knight wrote
"The Stories We Tell Ourselves, I-Spi: A Technique for Narrative Assessment." The book is a primer for the interactive computer program "I-Spi" which measures the strengths of the bonds (correlations) between an individual's personal stories. Narrative psychology is based on the concept that because humans have the ability to remember the past and plan for the future, we think in stories, with beginnings, middles, ends and heroes, Knight said. "Stories are the atoms of the mind," Knight said. "I-Spi" can be used in research, education and clinical therapy, Knight said. When running the "I-Spi" program, the user looks at a list of words, and then chooses words which are like or unlike a specific concept in the person's life.

For example, mother is like (select a word); mother is not like Some of the concepts examined are self, preferred-self, preferred-spouse, home, mother, father, love, shame and greatest fear. From the data collected, "ISpi" then produces a list of correlations between the concepts or stories. Then the user observes, interprets and talks about the results. By articulating their stories, people can better understand themselves. Knight, chairman of UCO's psychology and personnel services department, leads an active life. Tall and trim at 49, he runs an average of five miles every morning, and one marathon a year. He said he runs for pleasure. "I really started running when I hit 40 and my body started paying me back for all the things I'd been doing to it," Knight said. "I decided I don't want to worry about what I eat, so I'm going to run." Knight said he runs to feel better later, not while he's running. "If I'm doing a real hard run, all I want to do is die," Knight said. Three or four hours later the endorphins are there. "I'm enthusiastic, and I give much, much better lectures," he said. "If I miss my run, and eat a doughnut and 18 cups of coffee, I'm real crabby. "When I discovered running,
it was like waking up," he said. He said he suddenly had all kinds of energy, and the personal satisfaction of knowing he could do it. "It helps you get perspective on all the little mundane problems of the day." Knight's training was Dr. John M.

Janet Griffith, UCO's new coordinator of Academic Support Services, joined the staff at UCO's Learning Resource Center (LRC) on June 26. Griffith comes to UCO from Oklahoma City Community College where she was coordinator of student testing and in the counseling and advising department for six years. However, Griffith is not a stranger to UCO. "I graduated from UCO with my masters about 20 years ago and have taken a few classes since. So in a way, it's like corning home," said Griffith. The main challenge is helping to promote the Learning Resource Center, said Griffith. Making students and faculty aware of the exciting resources such as tutorials, testing and aids available for entry level classes is important. "There are a lot of misconceptions about testing and assessment," said Griffith. "Many people see it as a road block when in reality, it's to help
people become successful, and I believe that's our focus." The LRC is open to all students, but is gauged mainly towards those in lower-level or foundation classes. Forty-seven different programs are offered including math, science, English, reading, writing, preparation tests and a miscellaneous category which includes computer skills, time management and many others. Help from the LRC, located in the first floor, southeast corner of Thatcher Hall is free to all students. The LRC is open from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday. "Assessment, used to evaluate a student's skills, is required by the State Regents and many people see it as an evil," said Griffith. My perception is that we're here to help students become successful. "We're moving into the age of accountability," said Griffith. "We'll see where your skills are and what they become and hopefully something very positive happens in between."

Junior high scholars to learn about math, college life By Heather Canann Staff Writer Thirty Oklahoma eighth grade students will attend the summer math academy to learn about the application of mathematics in many career fields from July 4 through August 1 at UCO. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education are sponsoring the Prediction Pricing and Profits: Exploration in Actuarial Science for Summer Academies, 1995. Actuarial science is the evaluation of gains and losses in insurance, retirement funds, and anything that involves investments, said Dr. David Boliver,
associate professor of mathematics and statistics. Actuarial science applies to anything that has a known growth rate in time. For example, in population growth, actuaries calculate when that species may run out of food, land, or water. "It's very difficult to get kids
to say in highschool 'I want to be an actuary,' because not many people know what it is," said Boliver. UCO offers classes in the area actuarial science for mathematics majors. "I think we're planting some seeds that will draw students in the years to come," said Boliver.

"This year the board decided to meet in the fall after enrollment closes and we are sure of how much money we'll be getting. In the spring the activity budget is tentative," said Deanna Land, dean of students. "This way will be more accurate." The team is composed of 13 students from eight organizations, the dean of students, director of student activities, director of the budget, and two faculty senate members. Student activity fees are collected from students when they pay their tuition. The advisory team then makes their recom-
mendations to the president, said Land. Then the President either approves or denies the recomendations. The fees are then put into separate accounts by the budget office. After all the organization needs are met, the leftover money is put into a one-time expenditure account. This money is used to fund special student events such as Salute to Education week activities. Any remaining student activities fees carry over to the following year. "A lot of the organization funding decisions depend on the
budget request from the organization," said Harris. "If an organization needs more money for activities and can justify what it will be spent on, they need to see Dean Land and submit a formal budget request."

Internet available to more students on UCO campus By John Clanton
Staff Writer The Internet, which was previously unavailable to most students at UCO is now available in the library and the physics department. In Sharon Fisher's book "Riding the Internet Highway," she describes the Internet as a huge network of computers that communicate with each other. By taking advantage of all the subjects the Internet has to offer, students can use the Internet to help them with their research subj ects. Users of the Internet can use their computers to access different places along the information super-highway and select information on any subject that may interest them. Students who use the Internet to aid in research are able to access other sources of information, including other libraries, said Habib Tabatabai, the UCO library technician. "You can put a question on the Internet to say 'This is my problem, can anybody help? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said Tabatabai. Students who have access to the Internet can also send out resumes on the Internet so they can be received by potential employers anywhere in the country. Knowledge of the Internet is proving to be more and more beneficial to employers. Pete Huerta, laboratory manager at Analytical Research Laboratories, said dexterity with computers and the computer lan-

guage is important when being considered for employment. Analytical Research Laboratories has a bulletin board system set up through the Internet. "We use the bulletin board to talk back and forth to pharmacists," said Huerta. "For anybody in the managerial position, it's a must," said Huerta. Another aspect of the Internet is electronic mail. Also called E-mail, electronic mail enables Internet users to send and receive mail and store it in their computers, which serve as electronic mailboxes. Fisher's book also says the Internet was set up by government officials and researchers in the 1960s as a way to communicate with each other. Soon, however, people began to realize how much fun the Internet could be. The Internet gradually grew, and today anyone who has a computer and a modem can subscribe to one of the many on-line network services that are available. The Internet has also been criticized for some of the more explicit programs that are available through it. There has been talk of censoring explicit sections of the Internet, but no legislation has been passed.

Netters named All-American
Spikers expected to repeat
Wirthova, Bornman, Brown honored by tennis coaches
By Scott Moore Sports Writer The 1995 Lone Star Conference preseason volleyball poll has decided that history will repeat itself in the up coming season. The poll, conducted by the University of Central Oklahoma Sports Information Office, has chosen defending LSC champion UCO to repeat as conference champs. The Lady Bronchos recieved 10 first place votes and 182 total points, edging West Texas A&M with eight first place votes and 178 points. East Texas State finished a distant third with 147 points and one first place vote. "I was surprised to have been picked to win it," said fifth-year head coach Mark Herrin. "I thought that we would be chosen near the top because we lost just three players, but not first. It's a vote of confidence that the other teams saw us as being good enough to repeat...I don't want us to be overconfident however." Rounding out the poll is: Eastern New Mexico, fourth; Angelo State, fifth; Abilene Christian, sixth; Texas Woman's University, seventh; Texas A&M-Kingsville, eighth; and Tarleton State, ninth. The Lady Bronchos return nine players from last year's squad that compiled a schoolrecord 32 victories against five losses while capturing their first-ever LSC title. The Lady Bronchos also made their first-ever national tournament appearance, making it to the final round of the South Central Regional before being eliminated by Central Missouri State who eventually finished fourth at the national tournament.

University, a current football official in the NFL and supervisor of umpires for the Southwest Conference. He has been an umpire in the SWC, the Major Leagues and the College World Series. A
Following successful spring tennis campaigns for both the Central Oklahoma men's and women's tennis teams, three UCO players have earned NCAA Division II All-America honors by the National Tennis Coaches Association. For the men, freshman Charles Bornman and junior Junior Brown made the AllAmerican team while freshman Monica Wirthova was selected for the women. Wirthova, a native of Pilsen, Czech Republic, recorded a singles mark of 27-3 while finishing the season ranked third in the Midwest Region and ninth in the nation. As UCO's No. 1 singles player, she led the Lady Bronchos to a runner-up finish in the Lone Star Conference. Wirthova also finished fourth in the ITA/Rolex NCAA Division II Championships this past fall. Wirthova will not return for the Lady Bronchos next season because she will be transferring to play at an undisclosed Division I school, said UCO head coach Francis Baxter.
The transfer is unofficial at this time. "She's moving on to a bigger pond," said Baxter. "She's one of the best we've had here. I'd say she is about equal to two other great players that we had here in '87, '88 and '89 (Jenny Bautista and Karryn Whitaker). If you put those three on the court they would be about equal." Bautista and Whitaker alternated as No. 1 and No. 2 singles players for Baxter from 1987-89. They reached the finals of the `87 NAIA national tournament as a doubles team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest any UCO player has ever gone in the national tournament. Bornman, a native of Bloemfontein, South Africa, led the Bronchos to a second place finish in the LSC. He compiled a 10-1 singles record, was the top-ranked player in the Midwest Region and earned a berth in the Division II national tournament. Brown, from Topeka, Kan., was selected for the AllAmerican doubles team along with Bornman. The Broncho duo had a 9-2 doubles mark while achieving a No. 2 ranking in the Midwest Region.
Ervin's college career over By Mike Erwin
Sports Editor The NCAA has rejected UCO basketball player Jason Ervin's request for an extra year of eligibility. The NCAA allows athletes 10 semesters to complete their eligibility but sometimes allows an
extra year for special circumstances. "He'd had some injuries where he was and so on and he'd been in school 10 semesters," said UCO basketball coach Jim Seward. "That's all you get." Ervin, a sharp-shooting guard from Kansas City, joined the Bronchos over the semester

Bronchos make the grade
UCO gridders to play on new turf at Wantland Stadium By Mike Erwin Sports Editor
By Scott Moore
Ted Garland, owner of Garland Nursery, lays down U-3 Bermuda sod on the football field at Wantland Stadium. (Staff Photo by Jaconna Aguirre)
The UCO football team can expect at least one thing when it takes the field for its homeopener in September — grass, and plenty of it. Thick U-3 Bermuda sod was laid on the field last week at Wantland Stadium to avoid a repeat of last season when the Bronchos had to play on a rough and barren surface. "It's going to be nice," said UCO head football coach Gary Howard. "If we get a little rainfall here and there then this will be as good a field as there is in this area." That would be a big difference from last year when the grass withered from a lack of rain during the summer installation of a sprinkler system. Three games in one week tore the field to shreds when a torrential rain finally came in September. Even though the Bronchos share the field with high school teams from Memorial, North and Santa Fe, Howard says he doesn't expect the same problems.

"There's always going to be a lot of pressure on it from that standpoint, but it's going to come a lot closer to surviving the wear and tear this year." "If you got some rain on the field last year it turned into a mud fest, and that's not much fun to play in," said Howard. "It didn't take much at all to get it in that kind of shape, either." UCO's new $36,000 surface shares some similarites with the home fields of the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. The Bermuda was laid by Garland Nurseries owner Ted Garland, who helped lay sod at Arrowhead Stadium when the Chiefs replaced their artificial turf in 1994. Underneath UCO's new grass is 35 tons of Turface, a product that helps drainage and absorption. It was also used on the rainsoaked Candlestick Park field before San Francisco hosted the 1993 NFC Championship Game. The first match-up to be played on the new grass is the All-State football game on July 28.

Veto threatens Head Start expansion By Joy McNutt Staff Writer It's his first day in kindergarten. He looks around the room at the other children thumbing through books, playing with Legos and chattering. "Go on now, I have to go," his young mother says, peeling his small hand from hers. He's five years old and has never had anyone read him a story. No pediatrician has advised his mother on well baby care, or how to stimulate his intellectual, social or physical growth. Health care is a luxury when you live below the poverty level. He is what educators call "atrisk" of failure in school, and therefore in life in our society. But it doesn't have to be that way. For 30 years, Head Start has helped fill in gaps in impoverished pre-school age children's lives so they can start school as prepared as their more fortunate peers. Head Start is federally funded, although some states appro-

priate funds to expand programs. Governor Frank Keating vetoed a funding bill on June 8, which would have given Head Start $3 million for expansion during the coming fiscal year. Head Start serves nearly 11,000 children across the state. Services include pre-school, hearing and vision screening, speech therapy, glasses, physicals, dental care and training for parents. "Our overall goal is to help move families toward self-sufficiency," said Carolyn Shaw, Oklahoma City Head Start director. But expansion is needed. "In Oklahoma City, Head Start has 1877 slots, but we're servicing less than half the atrisk kids," said Shaw.
