Staff Writer The State Regents for Higher Education approved budgets for the state's 26 institutions for higher learning at their June meeting, with $50.3 million to be spent by the University of Central Oklahoma during fiscal year 1993-94 which began today.

Funding for the state system comes from two sources: state appropriations and revolving funds, which include revenues from tuition and fees, carry-over funds, federal and local funds and gifts and grants.

State appropriated funds to UCO total $28,593,523, a 3.5 percent decrease from last year.

Revolving funds total $19,333,062—an amount that involves an anticipated 5 percent increase in enrollment combined with a 7 percent increase in tuition to begin this fall.

The revolving fund also includes $1.6 million in tuition fee waivers.

The university has also allotted $2,373,415 from its reserve fund for this year's budget.

The education and general budget includes instructional functions, research, public service, academic support and student services. The budget also includes institutional support, operation and maintenance of plant and data processing for academic and institutional support.

Instruction is targeted for the largest portion of this fiscal year's budget receiving $26.4 million. Instruction involves teacher salaries, support staff and their operating budgets.

Academic support is receiving S6.1 million. This budget involves libraries, academic administration and personnel devel-

The bonds for the University of Central Oklahoma $45.7 million master plan officially closed Tuesday morning after final approval by the attorney general.

"This morning we did the final closing on $32 million worth of bonds," Nigh said Tuesday, "and it's a good thing we did because the bulldozers have already been working."

Nigh said everything is in order to continue with the master plan.

Plans include $4.4 million for classroom expansion; $5.45 million for 3,000 additional parking places; $8.7 million for library expansion and $15 million for expansion of the University Center and construction of the Nigh Institute of State Government which will house the David L. Boren State Archives Library.

The celebration held Monday night in the Edmond Historical Community Center served a two-fold purpose.

One marked the completion of the final paperwork in the bonding process, the other was a bon voyage to the UCO Jazz Troupe leaving Wednesday for Europe.

Clinton's attack on Iraq lacks true grit, strength President Clinton's weekend "successful" attack on Baghdad was simply the ;global equivalent of a preschool timeout.

Frankly, the situation should never have arisen. Had the U.S.-led coalition of allied forces finished the job during.

Operation Desert Storm (i.e. Bush finding the balls to finish off Saddam Hussein), the attack would not have been necessary.

Although Clinton says the attack was to vindicate an earlier assasination attempt on former President Georsze Bush during a visit to Kuwait, the purpose of the attack was clearly to boost Clinton's sliding popularity in polls. Had the attack been a response to the attempt on Bush's life, it would have been conducted much earlier and in a more severe fashion.

Furthermore, how can the attack be called successful? The U.S. fired 23 Tomahawk cruise missies and only destroyed one wing of a building. They then went on to miss several targets, consequently hitting several residential areas. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this was a petty attempt at a show of strength.

The attack on Iraq, in fact, has resulted in more popular support for Saddam Hussein and has served to alienate America from other Muslim countries.

It's also been said that increased terrorism in the U.S. was also a reason for the attack. The bombing was supposed to show terroists that our country would not be bullied by them.

The impotent response by the U.S. to Hussein's actions will only serve to reassure terroists that the most they will receive for their deadly ploys to the American population is a petty slap on the wrist, and, in fact, is giving the terroists a license to kill.

Had the intent of this raid been to scare off terrorists, it can only he considered a failure.

The U.S. should not and cannot continue its policy of mere containment of Saddam Hussein. To be a true show of force, the U.S. would have to have more successfully destroyed the desired targets and more completely met the military objectives set forth.

Iraq has vowed to avenge the attack, and Washington has given them leeway to do so. Until decisive action is taken by one side or the other, the ping gong match will continue.

Exhibit portrays piece of UCO history

By Roger Groce

Staff Writer It's 1939, and the house, hot from the arid summer heat, is nearly filled to capacity. The scorching kitchen is forging out brazen biscuits and pancakes: fuel for the hungry boarders.

Every week hundreds of students and teachers from the adjacent Territorial Normal School visit the home of Fred and Ohla English. The budding college is not yet able to provide campus housing or food services.

The house sits on the corner of Normal Street (University Drive) and Normal Circle (now part of the library parking lot). The land is part of the original land grant given to the school, but was sold to raise funds for improvements.

Built about 1914, English Hall was a prominent landmark for the now University of Central Oklahoma. Owned by Fred and Ohla English, it served the students from the territorial school from 1914 to 1935. In remembrance of English Hall and its accompanying Lodge and Cottage, an exhibit of photos and memorabilia is now in the UCO museum in Evans Hall.

"I really feel like that woman literally worked herself to death," said UCO archivist Mary Bond, reflecting on the hard working Ohla English.

The home became a sorority house in 1968, and was a couseling center from 1969 to 1978.

The landmark building was subsequently dismantled and either sold at auction, or absorbed - one fixture at a time - into the expanding college.

Kathryn Atkins, middle daughter of English Hall builder Fred English, donated much information and many artifacts to the museum. The most recent addition was made April 29, 1993, by Atkins' nephew, Stanley Christmas.

As buildings spring up and parking lots disappear this summer to satisfy UCO' s appetite for innovation and change, the museum continues to strive to capture a glimpse of the past and pass the legacy into the future.

"She met a real serious need the school had for food and for housing," Bond said. "I think it's a significant piece of the history of the school."

English Hall provided food services for not only teachers and students, but other members of the community in the 22-by-32 foot dining room.

Next door sat English Cottage, which in the earliest days was occupied by lady teachers of the Normal School. Behind was English Lodge, which provided lodging for students and faculty.

Following the death of Ohla English, the house was purchased

by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Thompson.

After a fire damaged the structure in 1964, the school re-acquired the land and converted the house into a photo lab.

As a result of a statewide mandate set forth by House Bill 2246, a new outcomes-based teacher preparation system must be implemented at the University of Central Oklahoma by Sept. 1, 1995.

The system will be developed by the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation which is created under the same act.

The new system must be fully integrated, implemented and applied for students entering a teacher education program after Sept. 1.

The present system will then become ineffective, except for students already enrolled in a program prior to Sept. 1. These students will be allowed to continue in the present system until Sept. 1, 1997.

The new system will require no more than 124 semester hours.

Systems requiring more than 124 must implement the program without adding any additional hours.

According to H.B. 2246, one of

the ways the system will prepare teachers will be to require teacher candidates to study arts and science at the undergraduate level Candidates will also be required to study human development so that they may have a better understanding of human and childhood development. The program will also require the study and understanding of different cultures.

The switch to the outcomesbased system will require a shift from thirws such as a focus on common inputs (courses, clock hours and defined experiences) to a focus on common outcomes (performances in authentic classroom situations).

The switch to the outcomes based system at UCO will be a traditional one, one which tries to incorporate the ideas without altering the structure of the curriculum or the school.

Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education, said that many of the techniques and ideas that OBE will seek to incorporate are already being done at UCO. Elsner also said that one of the biggest challenges of OBE will be to incorporate the new techniques.

Libertyfest Fireworks finish off Fourth of July festivities

By Joe Umbarger

Staff Writer

Libertyfest has been an Edmond and University of Central Oklahoma tradition since 1973, and organizers of this year's Libertyfest say 1993 will be the biggest and best year in the event's history.

"We work on it all year long," said Leah Kessler, president of Libertyfest. "It sounds cliché, but it really has been a labor of love."

The celebration actually began last weekend with a Kite Festival at Edmond North Mid-High, and a Road Rally.

The Independence Day Classic Bicycle Tours will begin at 7 a.m.

July 3 at Hafer Park. Tours are broken into three distance categories of 76, 38, and 18 miles.

The Libertyfest Parade, with Olympic medalist Shannon Miller as grand marshall, will leave at 10 a.m. from the UCO library parking lot, moving west on Ayers Street to Broadway, south on Broadway to Second Street, then east on Second Street to University Boulevard.

Kessler said this year's parade has more than 120 floats entered.

Most of the floats, including UCO' s entry, are designed in Kansas by Jim Dittmer, whose son, Scott, is an undergraduate student at UCO. Although UCO has been an in-

tegral part of Libertyfest since its sional Rodeo Association (IPRA) inception, this is only the second rodeo July 1-4, and will feature year the school has had an entry in Dan Dailey, currently rated Best the parade, said Donna Peters, All Around Cowdirector of Develboy in rodeo com opment and petition, and a We work on it all women's Alumni Affairs.

Local storyteller entertains UCO crowd with timeless tales and helpful tips

By Heide Brandes

Staff Writer Yukon, Okla. held a festival three years ago in celebration of a cow. It seemed Grady, the cow, jumped into a grain silo in 1949 and could not get out.

All the students in the schools were told the story of Grady.

Young children drew pictures of Grady in the silo for prizes. Others created headlines about Grady and older children wrote essays about how they would rescue Grady using modern technology.

Songs were sumo., about the cow and the mayor of Yukon even ruled Feb. 22 Grady the Cow Day. The festival was born all because of a simple retelling of an incident that happened more than 40 years in the past.

"I had heard about it at a woman's house where I was telling pioneer stories," said Ginger LaCroix, one of the women responsible for the festival.

For the last 10 years, LaCroix has worked as a professional storyteller and the Grady the cow story was among many she shared at the Creative Studies Writer's meeting about the art of storytelling June 19 at UCO. "One of the ladies had a copy of a little gold book called Down by the Silo about a cow who was stuck in a silo in Yukon."

Intrigued, LaCroix nosed around and dug up some information. She spoke to the local historian and even to the owner of the cow.

"I started writing about a cow that I did not practice for hours who jumped into the silo," she and hours. It's the same way with said.

Foolish firework follies could foil Fourth of July fun It is estimated that 11,000 people are treated for fireworksrelated injuries each year. Most injuries from the family-type fireworks involve misuse rather than malfunction. Most accident victims are under the age of fifteen.

Body parts most frequently injured are the eyes, face, ears (usually perforated eardrums), hands and fingers. Also seemingly harmless, sparklers sizzle at temperatures exceeding 1,100 degrees (hotter than a match).

Illegal fireworks are a serious problem. A Consumer Product Safety Commission study showed that 28 percent of reported injuries are caused by illegal explosive items and another 3 percent result from experiments with homemade fireworks.

Injuries from these categories were usually more serious.

The National Council on Fireworks Safety emphasizes these concerns: ✓ Fireworks are not toys. Legal fireworks function primarily by burning to produce motion and visible or audible effects, and can cause burn injuries and ignite clothing if used improperly. ✓ Never give fireworks to young children. Close adult supervision of all fireworks activities is mandatory. ✓ Select and use legal devices. Check with your local police department to learn what, if any, fireworks may be legally discharged in your area. Be certain that all devices bear a label showing the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor and a caution statement containing instructions for proper use.

Be sure to follow the label directions. ✓ Illegal explosive devices can kill or maim. Don't purchase or use unlabeled fireworks. If you are aware of anyone selling such devices, call your local police department. ✓ Homemade "fireworks" are deadly. Never attempt to make your own fireworks or buy fireworks kits. `Information provided by the National Safety Council.

Sox strike out in firing of Fisk

By Justin Harper Sports Editor Future hall-of-fame catcher Carlton Fisk has compiled a long list of impressive feats durinz his 24-year pro career.

One of them came last week . when he set the record for most games played by a catcher (2,226).

In achieving the mark the 45year-old Fisk used all his talents to the fullest. However, this, season it was Fisk that was being used and talent had nothing to do with it.

The Chicago White Sox waived Fisk and his S650,000 contract on Tuesday, presumably ending the veterans career.

What makes the cut somewhat appalling is that the White Sox just kept Fisk around until he broke the record, and, subsequently brought the franchise lots of publicity, then they let cut him loose using no more tact than if he were a struggling journeyman on their farm club.

Column Fisk's abilities have declined ' considerably. In fact he was merely a shadow of his former self. However, if Chicago had no intention to "carry somebody who can't possibly help the ball club," as White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf put it, then why did they not release him in the off season. Fisk and the Sox have been at each others throats for several seasons now, so they didn't keep him around out of loyalty.

Another classless move by Chicago was general manager Ron Schueler's notifying Fisk of his firing after the team had flown into Cleveland and checked into a hotel. Fisk, upon hearing the news packed and left immediately. What kind of reasoning does it take to realize that informing Fisk at borne in Chicago, instead of after•, departing for Cleveland, would he more convenient for Fisk. !

After all Fisk has given to thel White Sox and baseball in general a little considerationj shouldn't he too much for him tol expect.

UCO Sports in Brief Repeat counts of drinking, driving earn ex-Broncho grid star jail term Keith Traylor will be watching Independence Day festivities on television this year.

The 23-year-old ex-University of Central Oklahoma football star is in jail, after being sentenced to serve a 23-day term and perform 48 hours of public service for repeated drinking and driving offenses in the Denver area.

Traylor pleaded guilty to a consolidated plea barTraylor gain of four charges that included driving while ability-impaired and driving without a license in Arapahoe County. He entered a separate guilty plea to driving while impaired in Denver Country, according to the district attourney's office in Littleton.

A native of Malvern, Ark., Traylor was the highest player with Oklahoma ties selected in the 1991 NFL draft--a 3rd round choice of the Denver Broncos.

He played two full seasons with the Broncos and was being tabbed as a likely replacement for aging Pro Bowler Karl Mecklenburg, but Denver coach Wade Phillips told the media he had given up on Traylor because he failed to resolve his off-the-field problems.

Traylor has already visited a number of NFL camps in hopes of signing on, but his plans will be put on hold until July 14, when he is released from jail.

Spikers' schedule finalized for '93 Lady Broncho volleyball kicks of the 1993-94 UCO athletic year on Sept. 4 as the ladies compete in the Uniersity of Missouri-St. Louis Tournament.

UCO returns four starters from last year's 24-17 team. The Lady Bronchos face a fonnidable schedule, which includes four regularseason tournaments uid an Oct. 16 meeting with perennial power West Texas State.

Lady jocks fare better in classroom Although comprising just 37 percent of the UCO Athletic Director's Honor Roll for the spring of 1993, women fared proportionally better by sport in the classroom than their male counterparts.

In all, 29 ladies were named to the honor roll, which singles out student-athletes who register at least a 3.0 grade point average in at least 12 hours of coursework.

Women's basketball and tennis rated highest percentage-wise.

Nine Lady Broncho capers made the cut of 14 athletes (64 percent).

Four of the six women's tennis players (66 %) were included.

Men rated best in baseball, where 11 of 31 (35 %) were named.

A record nine athletes registered perfect 4.0 averages, including two members of the tennis team: freshmen Kristi McPherson and Jennifer Mill.

BUDGET Continued from page 1

Public service will operate on a $718,000 budget and research at the university will receive $518,000 for this fiscal year.

Data processing for institutional support and academic support will receive $825,000 and $840,000 respectively.

According to information provided by state regents, college and university budgets reflect budget guidelines developed earlier this year by the state regents. These guidelines are designed to shift resources from low priority programs to higher priority academic

programs.

The budget guidelines requested that the institutions target specific low priority programs for dele tion or reduction in funding rather than administer reductions equally across all areas of the institution.

The regent's guidelines also call for adherence to administrative cost caps and efforts to identify and reallocate funds to finance faculty merit adjustments.

Cost caps set by state regents were set at 11 percent for comprehensive universities, 14 percent at the regional universities and 17 percent at the state's two

year colleges.

Although no personnel reductions will be seen at UCO this fiscal year, budget cut-backs and reallocations due to budget guidelines were felt elsewhere in the state.

According to state regents information, institutions eliminated 911 faculty and staff positions, includinc.! 379 filled positions and 535 unfilled positions. Cutbacks included the deletion of 140 faculty positions, 369 staff positions, 147 adjunct faculty positions, 35 graduate assistant positions and 220 student positions.

ABC to decide future of R-rated series

NTROHFDIALMMSAI

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There is general agreement that Steven Bochco's new series "NY PD Blue" is very good drama.

There is less accord on whether it is good for television.

Racy dialogue and nudity have raised cautionary flags in the advertising community as well as network affiliates.

In one scene, a character angrily confronts a female prosecutor, then grabs his crotch and utters a few crudities. In another, he's shown in a steamy clutch with a prostitute.

Another character and a female officer flash their backsides in another bedroom scene — all meshing with Bochco's own prediction that he would produce TV's first R-rated series.

Perry applies for pig permit LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Beverly Hills, 90210" bad boy Luke Perry has asked We city for permission to keep three potbellied pigs.

"He's applying for this permit so he can keep his pigs, his pets, at his hou se," Leegie Parker, the real estate agent who sold Perry his suburban Tarzana home, told the Los Angeles Times this week.

Ms. Parker filed the permit on behalf of the star.

Potbellied pigs may be kept in Los Angeles only with a special permit.
