The Student Voice Since 190''
Regents vote: Students can expect higher tuition fees for higher education State Regents voice no opposition to tuition increases for 1995-96 By Joy McNutt Staff Writer
No opposition to fee increases was voiced at the public hearing held June 28 by the State Regents. Subsequently, the increases were approved at the regents' meeting later in the day. General enrollment fees and nonresident tuition increased 7 percent. Other fee changes for UCO students include a $4 per credit hour new technology fee, and a 70 cents per credit hour transcript and add/drop fee. UCO correspondence courses will increase to $50 per credit hour. Students from six Oklahoma colleges attended the hearing and expressed their support for the increases. Angela Farragher, president of Oklahoma Student Government Association, said the association has not met since the proposed increase was raised from 6 percent to 7 percent. However, she read a resolution drawn up at the February meeting. The resolution suggested that no cuts
should be made in instructional costs. Any tuition increase should not exceed 6 percent per year and only if there are no cuts in appropriations. Also an increase in funding for the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant should be allocated with any tuition increase. "We have a regent policy that no student will have to drop out of school because of the tuition increase," said Regent John Massey of Durant. "There is a way for every student to go to school." Later, at their regular meeting, the regents also approved the fiscal year 1995-96 higher education budget totaling $903.4 million. With some reservations, they approved an electronic media policy to govern the electronic delivery of courses for longdistance learning. The policy deregulates the State Regents' course and program approval process, delegating that authority to the colleges and universities through the establishment of geographic service areas. Regent Robert L McCormick of Stillwater expressed concern that the policy may have significant limitations in the long-run. McCormick said although the policy set some standards, he thought it would tend to limit innovation and encourage duplication. "I also think that it tends to protect individual serfdoms, and the whole concept of creating geographic service areas in regard to this type of service is a mis-
take and regrettable," s aid McCormick. Regent Leonard J. Eaton of Tulsa said he thought there may be faults with the policy, but that the regents had a responsibility to the system (of higher education). "This is a very rapidly changing medium. think the regents have a legitimate interest in being directly involved with it. "I don't think you can just turn this People lining the banks of Wantland Stadium were part of thing loose, the estimated 65,000 spectators to watch the Libertyfest and let everyfireworks show at UCO.

`Old Glory:' She's not just a symbol anymore revival to exclude flag burning from First endment protection has returned to the limelight. The House Judiciary Committee has approved, along party-line votes, a constitutional amendment allowing Congress and the states to outlaw desecration of the , American flag. Although most Americans view the American flag as a central symbol of our country's ideals, the timeliness of this vote seems politically oriented with the 1996 campaign . Do we really want to weaken freedom of speech protection so the Republicans can use "Old Glory" as a backdrop at rallies? No doubt most Americans hunger for an end to lawlessness and apathy, and want to reinforce commitment to our nation's ideals. But, aren't we looking in the wrong direction by striking at the essence of what separates our country from others, freedom of speech. An attempt to pass this amendment in 1990 failed when Supreme Court Justice William Brennan remarked that "punishing the desecration of the flag dilutes the very freedom that makes the emblem so revered, and worth revering." There have been less than 50 flag burning incidents in 200 years without incidence of violence. Why is this debate on the table at all? Americans have given their lives carrying the American flag. The Washington Post interviewed Ivan Warner, who was imprisoned, tortured and starved by the North Vietnamese from 1967 to 1973. Warner was shown a photo of American protesters burning the flag. The Vietnamese officer said, "People in your country protest against your cause. That proves you are wrong." Warner answered, "No. That proves I am right. In my country we are not afraid of freedom, even if it means people disagree with us." Other countries of the world envy our freedoms. Instead of diminishing the heart of our Constitution, why not impact each other through example or persuasion. The Judiciary Committee is now reviewing an amendment to sanction state-sponsored religious activities in schools. James Madison and others must be rolling in their graves.

Jonathan Koelsch /The Vista
Police officer's wife claims Vista failed in accuracy read with great interest your published article and editorial in the June 22, 1995 publication of the Vista, concerning the "brutal arrest" of Antonio Acosta on June 7, 1995 and wanted to take this opportunity to share my thoughts on what many people perceive to be the accurate reporting by your reporters that investigated the incident, and I wanted to pass along some information they may have missed regarding the incident. I could not find any location on a University of Central Oklahoma parking map that indicated any parking lot on UCO had been specifically designated as a "Physical Plant parking lot." I believe one of the requirements of being an employee of UCO is to either obtain a parking permit, either by the semester or by the year, or park in a no-permit-required lot. Since the Physical Plant has their own parking lot, according to the accurate wording of your report, is Mr. Acosta required to have a parking permit? Are the tickets Mr. Acosta has already received on appeal? Have they been paid? Is he going to have to comply with university policy like the rest of the employees or students? Or will the tickets just be forgiven? Mr. Acosta is accused of destruction of state property, specifically kicking in the door panels of a police unit and destroying the locking mechanisms. If Mr. Acosta did, indeed, destroy state property, is that not a violation of UCO policy? I believe the only formal
/
charges brought against anyone were those filed by the UCO police officers against Mr. Acosta. One such charge was an assault and battery on a police officer. I have neither read nor heard any formal charges being brought against any of the officers. However, your article indicates a "brutal arrest." It is a usual practice that such "charges" brought against police officers are formally investigated by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation or the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Is any such investigation underway? Another interesting area that could be explored is one of questioning whether or not the "assumptions" quoted from Mr. Hamilton were made by someone who is related to the alleged victim of the alleged "brutal arrest." I was particularly amused by the quote, "It was my assumption that he got in the truck to take it out of gear." Assumption? How accurate is that testimony? And, of course, I am sure his "assumptions" have nothing to do with any possible relationship Mr. Hamilton may have with the alleged victim of the alleged "brutal attack." Another item your reporters failed to mention was that Mr. Acosta was once wanted on charges involving a violent act. Could this possibly add validity to the charge of resisting arrest, or the charge of interfering with a police officer? Also, I saw no information concerning the "brutal" character you potrayed the officers as having. Have your reporters
checked into this, or is this another "assumption?" I saw no information about the training, experience or education of the officers involved. I saw no information regarding any past history of "brutal" actions of the officers involved, and the punishments that would have resulted. Could it be that those officers have never been charged with "brutal" acts by anyone than your reporters? I know, in fact, that one officer has never experienced such charges. I say "in fact," because I am the wife of one of the officers involved, he for one is an officer with experience in law enforcement dating back to 1973. Having been married to him since six months after he entered the field, I can say that we, as partners and as a family, have never experienced the turmoil created by "formal" charges of brutality being filed against him. We are, however, dealing, quite often with amusement, over the report filed by your staff of reporters concerning June 7, 1995. This type of "accurate reporting" is nothing new to anyone who chooses law enforcement as a career. Officers do not publicly respond to his type of "accurate reporting." They do not call television stations in the middle of the day, on company time when they are being paid to work, to tell their side of the story. They instead, choose to let the courts decide the merits of their actions. — Janis Jones UCO police officer's wife

"Tales from the

Primus takes another step into the world of the obscure that their fans will most assuredly enjoy. Everyone who has heard Primus knows that they have always played in their own style, and the uncanny trio from Berkley continues their tradition in the new album. One of the best aspects of this album is that bassist and lead singer Les Claypool still sings songs about fictional characters. On the heels of "Mr. Krinkle" and "Jerry Was a Racecar Driver" on previous albums, comes "Wynona," "Mrs. Blaileen" and "Over the Electric Grapevine" that are the jewels of the new album. Primus still plays the long and drawn out songs they have always played, but the new songs seem more interesting than before. Claypool rarely sings on this album. In fact, there only a few songs that he has packed with lyrics. The diversity and the talent in the music make up for the lack of words. As usual, nothing can be said

about the playing ability of the band. As the band got stranger, their playing seems to have improved, if that is imaginable. Lead guitarist Larry LaLonde, in particular, seems to have improved his solo abilities. And remember that banjo playing the band experimented with on "Pork Soda?" They use more of it in "Tales from the
Punchbowl." These two facts alone make the album worth the $12. Claypool and drummer, Tim Alexander compliment each other constantly.

CO's telephone system is maxed-out, and President George Nigh said he wants people to understand when they complain, that UCO doesn't have any money for phones. "We're getting all trunks busy when people try to call in," said Maithreyi Manoharan, assistant vice president of computing services and telecommuni-cations. "It's a critical problem at this time," said Manoharan. "It has to be upgraded very soon because of the construction." Manoharan said funding for telephones is not included in Master Plan funds or new technology fee funds. Some students who live oncampus also have a problem with cross-talk. "We can hear other people's conversations," said Leslie Wakulich, Murdaugh Hall resident. "Can they hear us talking?"

for direct inward dialing (DID)," she said. However, she met recently with Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration, and Executive Assistant Max Speegle, concerning the telephones. She said they agreed UCO would try to do something this fiscal year. Elston said UCO is looking into a lease system possibility. Earlier estimates to purchase systems needed to carry UCO into the next five years were $1.5 million, he said. A lease system would probably increase departmental monthly payments per extension from $5 or $6, to $12 or $20 per month, Elston said. They are still comparison shopping, he said, and have not yet written a proposal detailing what UCO needs.

Harold Elston, director of telecommunications, said he is aware that cross-talk sometimes occurs, but he hasn't been able to find it. Wiltel telecommunication service company has also been unable to duplicate the problem to locate it. PBX systems normally last about 10 years, said Elston. UCO replaced one in 1984, and two more in 1986, he said. Manoharan explained the shortage of extensions. "When professors ask for additional lines we can't provide them because students need to call in to get information," she said.

"I say that not to slight Vandruff (Kyle, who started at 177 for the Bronchos last season) because he's certainly a good wrestler and has contributed to this program. But our depth is lacking at the heavier weights and that will give the new guys the opportunity to step in and make an impact." James said Russell may compete at 177 for his first year or two until he develops, then he may move to 190. Also, Vandruff may move to 190. "Our main goal this recruiting season was to beef up the heavier weights because of our lack of depth," said James. "We were able to sign a couple of good ones and I still may bring in one more at 190 to increase our depth. The signing period lasts until August 1."

Four-time Division II national wrestling champion Central Oklahoma has added some topnotch high school talent to its 1995 roster, signing six wrestlers during the spring and summer recruiting season. Signing with the Bronchos are: Clint Loyd (Marlow) at 118 pounds; Bubba McCullough (Madill), 118; Eric Spry (Blackwell), 126; Chris Denton (Choctaw), 150; Shane McCullough (Bristow), 167-77; and Jeff Russell (Lawton MacArthur) at 177-90. Loyd, Spry and Shane McCullough are two-time state champions, while Denton and Russell were state champions this past season. Bubba McCullough was a runner-up this past season and a state champion in '94.
At the High School National Tournament in Pittsburgh, Bubba McCullough placed second and Loyd finished fifth. "I feel pretty good about this group of kids," said 13-year head coach David James. "Realistically, these guys are future type products. It may take a year or two to get them seasoned but I'll tell you this, in a couple of years you will have heard of these guys." The Bronchos will return seven starters off last year's national title team including one national champion, four finalists and a third-place finisher. Five of the seven were AllAmericans. However, the loss of national champions Brian Melchiori at 126 and Mike Keim at 134 and the loss of third place finisher Chad Humphrey at 190 leaves holes to fill.

New artist in residence, author welcomed at UCO By Heather Canann Staff Writer
A new artist in residence for the creative studies department will serve during the 1995-96 academic y ear, announced Dr. Lynette We r t, chairperson of the creative studies department. Writer Wheat Carolyn Wheat, who recently released a new mystery novel, will teach two new courses at UCO this fall, Writing Horror from 9:10 a.m. to 10:25 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Writing Realism: Novel and Short Story from 7:30 p.m. to 10:10 p.m. Tuesdays, said Wert. Wheat is on a book tour until July 15 for "Fresh Kills," which was released in both hard and soft cover. "Fresh Kills," her third novel about criminal lawyer Cass
Jameson, leads "from the brightly lit world of criminal justice to the shadowy underworld of black market babies." For over ten years, Wheat served as an attorney with the New York City's Legal Aid Society. She also taught legal writing at Brooklyn Law School. At The New School for Social Research in Greenwich Village, Wheat taught mystery and suspense and instructed workshops on writing, but the curriculum was very loose. "She's looking forward to working in a more structured academic environment," said Wert. Wheat's publications include short stories, novels, mysteries, romance and nonfiction. "She is eager to work with both emerging and published writers and expects to conduct both workshops and one-to-one editorial sessions," said Wert.

Thinking of working off those few extra pounds doing lunges, step aerobics and a few squats? One author says to think again. "If you want to slim your lower body, it's important to avoid workouts that bulk up muscle there," said Edward Jackowski, New York fitness professional and author of "Hold
It! You're Exercising Wrong." Muscle develops and pushes fat deposits out, making thighs and buttocks appear bigger, said Jackowski. Exercises like lunges, step aerobics and squats target the area too well. Fast walking, or cross-country skiing on a machine are good alternatives. Jogging and biking are good as long as the pace is quick and the surface is flat. Not all fitness experts agree. Dr. Gerry Pinkston, UCO softball coach and professor of health, physical education, recreation and dance offered some advice. "For the most part, women
don't bulk up like men. When people tone their muscles, they get firmer and they may appear slightly larger, but not much," said Pinkston. "Some people may be prone to get bulkier than others. A lot depends on genetic predisposition." It's hard to gain muscle. Doing squats with low weights and high repetitions should be all right and like everything, it depends on the person, said Gold's Gym of Edmond. Of course if you use heavy weights you will bulk up. As far as squats and lunges are concerned, Pinkston offered words of caution. "If you talk to an orthopedic surgeon, they will tell you that squats and lunges can be dangerous if not done correctly, there are many other exercises people
can do," said Pinkston. "Most people overextend their knees when they do squats or lunges which can cause painful knee damage." There's a lot of fitness myths out there and people have to use common sense, said Gold's Gym.
