Summer sizzles in Oklahoma with record-high temperatures By Jeff Billington Staff Writer

It's not the heat, it's the humidity. At least that's what many Oklahomans seem to think. So far, this summer has been one of the hottest and most humid on record, and one of the hottest since 1943. The temperature has reached 103 in the Oklahoma City area, but June 27 in Tipton, Okla., the temperature reached 120, the record for Oklahoma. Also, temperatures have reached the century mark earlier this year than in the past. "The temperature is measured in the shade, so the temperature is normally about 15 to 20 degrees higher out in the sun," said David Payne, weekend meteorologist for Channel Four, KFOR. "The last time we had any measurable rain was on June 6, and we only got four hundredths of an inch," Payne said. Temperatures are usually highest from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., said Payne. "Older people and persons without air conditioning need to take extra caution," Payne said. "We encourage them to either go to the mall or see a movie, so they will stay out of the heat." Oklahoma normally has temperatures in the 90s this time of year, and the central part of the state ordinarily has higher readings than those in the east or other areas, Payne said. "The air in the Oklahoma City area is dryer here, so we experience more heat than the rest of the state," said Payne. The outlook for the next 30 days isn't any better, Payne said. "We're forecasting this heat wave to last for at least until August," said Payne. Tips for surviving the heat, Payne said, is to drink a lot of water and keep as much salt in your body's system as possible. "Try to stay out of the sun from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., don't drink any alcohol and dress lightly, like light-colored clothing, to stay cool," Payne said. When out in the sun for long periods of time, a high numbered sunscreen should be used to help prevent sunburns and heat stroke, said Payne. Animals should be kept in the shade as much as possible and have plenty of fresh water. "Dogs and cats need more care this time of year more than any other," Payne said. But there is one thing Payne says can help people beat the heat : "Stay Inside!"

Censure disapproval outrages UCO's AAUP chapter By Roy Howe Staff Writer

A 25-year-old national disapproval of the University of Central Oklahoma in the form of a censure by the national American Association of University Professors (AAUP) continues to outrage UCO' s chapter of the AAUP. The university' s AAUP chapter revealed its discontent with the censure in its summer newsletter with a section titled "Nigh' s (George, UCO president) Attitude Disappoints." "So far, President Nigh has adopted an uncooperative attitude and has been un-

willing to take the few easy inexpensive actions to have this blot removed," the organization's newsletter states. UCO was placed on the AAUP's censure list in 1969 for firing a tenured professor without due process in George Nigh 1967. "The censure is embarrassing and hurts our academic reputation," the AAUP' s publication states.

"Nigh seems more concerned with parking lots, costing millions of borrowed dollars, than due process concerns and the academic reputation of UCO. "Many faculty think his priorities are misplaced," the Thomas E. Guild newsletter reads. Nigh said the university' s AAUP chapter is correct in their concern of the national censure.

"The local AAUP and I are in total agreement, the national censure should be removed," Nigh said. "I commend the UCO chapter in its desire to have this done. "The alleged cause of the censure happened 27-years ago, before most of our students were born," Nigh said. "The national AAUP has told me that UCO is currently in compliance and, in fact, has been for many years," he said. Late last July in a letter to Nigh, the national AAUP outlined the changes required to take UCO off the censure list. These changes include a revision of the V See CENSURE, page three

Dead horses don't run

eating a dead horse.

This is how many view Gov. David Walters' announcement to possibly run again next term. When Walters announced last week that it would "be in the best interest of Oklahoma" if he remained in office, he also blankly added, "I'm not wild about continuing in politics. I'd really like to go back to business or watch the water flow on the Cimarron." Citing investigations into campaign investments and pleading guilty to a misdemeanor crime, along with the toll this took on his family life, Walters also promised to conduct a private, 850-household survey measuring public opinion about him before making a final decision, and results should be out at the end of this week. Many think that this was a "back-door" approach to politics. Our state's legislators agreed not to impeach Walters if he agreed not to run for another term. Even his opening address to the legislature's second session last January hinted at his gratitude for the opportunity to finish his term without impeachment. Often the press may be too hard on someone they have chosen as a "bad guy." Walters offhandedly accused the press for his son's suicide, but the press argued that it is their duty to be a "watchdog" for the American public, and Walters' family is in the public spotlight by choice. Walters chose to run for his last term, and he chose to hold his family up to public scrutiny. He also chose to break the law. Why would somebody who lambasted the press, broke the law, came a breath away from impeachment and plea bargained to stay in office want to intentionally subject themselves to more abuse? The general public may not be well enough informed to know the exact details of the Walters investigations, or about the press' ranting for his impeachment—but they do know enough to stay away from the driving whip. He tells us it would be in our best interests to have him in office another term, yet he qualifies it with a statement of "obligation — not opportunity." Is he really interested in having another term? Maybe it takes more courage to admit defeat and let go of the reins.

ur country just celebrated another birth day this past Monday. I sat on the ground in a choice location, surrounded by several people in our group. As I looked around I couldn't help but think of all the differences in the people. Differences—something that most people in this country have a problem with. Far too often, we concentrate on the differences we find in others instead of looking for common ground. We separate into segments: hippies, freaks, preps, black, white, rich, poor—I could go on forever. Recently I met a beautiful young woman who considered herself different. She didn't dress or act like the status quo in her school, she didn't fit in with the popular, socially acceptable crowd. She was different, or so she thought. All I could see was this wonder-

ful young person with more hope and promise than she could ever imagine. With her long black hair and striking features, she is not the 5-foot-6-inch, blue-eyed typical American beauty. She is beautiful and special, yet experiencing the problems associated with being different. What is the typical American? Is there really such a thing? This country was based on differences, on people who built a country looking for the freedom to be different. We've lost some of those ideals. All too often, we chastise people who don't fit into our view of normal. The visual inspection that we use to evaluate each other rarely allows us to realize how similar we are. We scratch the surface and are either shocked or scared by what we find. We don't bother to look further and discover that most of our differences are merely su-

perficial. Whether the differences we discover in other people are their color, attitude or socio-economic status, similarities lie underneath . With the wide variety of people and personalities in our country, learning to accept a person for what they are is a valuable quality. When we come to the place in our own lives where we can value a person for their true self and not for their appearance we will be at that place where we can put hate and fear aside. We would be better off looking for the good in each other rather than dissecting each other over differences. We will gain more by approaching each other in a positive light, for negativity only breeds contempt and hate, something we could use a lot less of in this country. -Sharon Jennings Guest Columnist

the state system of higher educadon. State appropriations for this fiscal year totaled $557.7 million— up $1.3 million from the 1993-94 fiscal year. These are taxpayer dollars allotted yearly by the legislature. Revolving funds include revenues from tuition and fees, carryover money, local and federal funds, and gifts and grants. This income is estimated at $318.7 million this fiscal year compared to $296.9 million last year. These budgets became effective Friday and should fund operations through June 1995.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines "reform" as improving by correction (Amor or removal of defects. By this definition, Clinton's health plan and health care reform are complete opposites, at least they are to Ken Bristow. Based on his first-hand experiences with nationalized health care, Bristow will be discussing his views on health care at the International Toastmaster' s meeting at 12:35 p.m. July 8 in Thatcher Hall Lounge. "I'm not opposed to health care reform," Bristow said. "My

feelings are that we have one of the finest health care systems in the world. We have some problems that need to be addressed, but let's not tear down the house to fix a leak in the roof." Bristow lived as a citizen in England under a national health plan for 32 years and opposes government control. Paul Combs, president of University of Central Oklahoma Toastmasters, said that Bristow' s guest appearance gives the club an opportunity to view a "powerspeaker" and learn from his presentation.

Guild said. "When something like this happens you must step up to the responsibility." Guild said that he believes UCO to be the only college or university in Oklahoma to be censured. Lloyd Musselman, state president for the AAUP and recently elected as an at-large representative to the AAUP national executive committee, spoke at UCO last November and said the university's censure could mean nothing at all or all in the world to the university. "Censure means that you carry a stigma," Musselman said. "It need not impact you in anyway, especially in a tight job market with professors hungering for a

job. "But if you are censured and you are in your twentieth year of being censured," Musselmen said, "two things should come to mind: "Something is still wrong with your university or that wrong has been corrected but no one has taken the initiative to begin a dialogue with the national agency in Washington D.C. to remove the censure," he said. "I'm very frustrated," said Guild. "We've (UCO' s chapter of AAUP) tried everything that we can think of, and it seems to me that we are getting no cooperation at all. "I just wish something could be done. This has been going on for 25 years," Guild said.

Some items to be addressed by the AAUP at its September meeting:

"Since then, Nigh's opinion is, `well, everything is OK, — Guild said. Nigh explained that he feels, even if unofficial, the university is in good standing with the national AAUP. "I have notified the AAUP that, in my opinion, we are in compliance with their standards and it is difficult for us to take actions on an alleged infraction happening 27 years and three presidents ago," Nigh said. Guild said he is aware that Nigh was not the university' s president at the time, but it is his duty as current president to have the censure removed. "Under Nigh's theory, when it happened I was in 7th grade,"

Staff Writer With the onslaught of the World Cup invading the United States, it seemed only appropriate that a student association at the University of Central Oklahoma hold its own set of sporting events. The first annual Siam Cup, sponsored by the Thai Student Association at UCO, was held July 2 in Hamilton Fieldhouse and Wantland Stadium. The games were a competition of students from UCO and Oklahoma State University, and included sports such as volleyball, basketball, chairball, tennis and soccer. UCO was the big winner in four out of five of the events, and received the Siam Cup trophy, a traveling trophy which will be held by the winner of each year's games. Each event is counted as one point, and the winner must win three out of five of the events to gain control of the trophy for one year. "For the next Siam Cup, we would like Thai students from the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma City University to join the games," said Rux Prompalit, president of the Thai Student Association at UCO.

Festival holds kite-flying contest By Matt Williamson

Staff Writer Multi-colored plastic and nylon triangles shoot through the air. The sound of ripping wind races past the crowd as the tai1,50 feet of blue rayon, whips by. The 'titer is strapped to two lines, one left one right, flying the kite in circles. When the wind gusts, he is pulled deeper into the field. His legs just cannot compete with the strong Oklahoma winds. Classic rock music fades into the background as the emcee grabs the microphone. 'Doug, would you like to show somebody how to fly that thing?" he asks the little man in the blue cap. Doug looks across the field, back to the sound system and the crowd,

and quickly shakes his head left to rightâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no. "That' s understandable, considering Doug's kite costs more than $300, that's a lot of dough," said Frank Kenisky, event emcee. The Kite Festival is in its fourth year with Libertyfest, and this is the largest turnout of kiters and spectators, said John Wagoner, event organizer. The festival was held July 2 at Edmond Santa Fe High School. Kenisky has run the South West Sport Kite Conference (SWSKC) for three years. He said the Liberty Kite Festival brought him in to make the show "audience friendly." "They want to include more audience. Without the audience they have nothing to fly for. The more community involvement we have, the better we can make it,"

said Kenisky. The crowd gathered in the shade along the walls out of the sun, but far enough out to still catch a breeze. The crowd was made up of mostly tanned children and sandal-wearing parents. Their T-shirts displayed "Liberty Fest" or the patriotic stars and stripes. Farly Saturday morning a3,000square-foot "Old Glory" was flown above the event. "That's 3,000 feet of trash bags ladies and gentlemen. Now you know where they all go," said Kenisky. When asked about this year's attendance, a volunteer replied, "Who's counting?" Its the best year we've had so far," said Wagoner.

Economics council moves headquarters to UCO By Keena Lucas Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma has a unique opportunity to increase the quantity and enhance the quality of economic education for Oklahoma students, said Dr. Jean Caldwell, UCO economics professor. The Oklahoma Council on Economic Education(OCEE) moved its statewide headquarters to UCO and named Caldwell as its president. "The OCEE is anon-profit, nonpartisan educational organization," said Caldwell. "Our primary mission is to increase the economic understanding of Oklahoma students by providing elementary and secondary teachers with the professional knowledge, skills, and materials for incorporating economics into their classrooms." Caldwell has been an economic educator in central Oklahoma for

City, where 29 high school teachers will teach the program entitled "Economic Development in Oklahoma," July 12-13. They will also hold a two-day workshop on investment and financial markets July 20-21. One of the major speakers at this workshop will be Randal Ice from the finance department at UCO. Next October, a two day workshop will be held for every second-grade teacher in and around Ardmore. Caldwell will be presenting economic ideas that will assist teachers in preventing students from dropping out of school. The workshop is entitled "Choices and Changes." "It is very important for every American citizen to know American economics because that effects their lives as workers, consumers and voting citizens," said Caldwell.

Organization invites foreign students to U.S. By Kelly Barnes Student Writer

So it's summertime and students have found themselves bored and in desperate need of finding new horizons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not to mention more criteria to build up the resume... Educators realize Oklahomans are entering a global economy and are trying to stress the importance of learning a second language, said Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director of the Career Development and Placement Services for the University of Central Oklahoma. "It is always important to tell potential employers if you can speak another language and if you are familiar with different cultures,"said Greenlee. "Today's student needs to be sensitive to ethnic backgrounds and cultures, especially if they are eager to enter in the business world," said Greenlee. One of the easiest ways to learn a different language, as well as cultural differences, is to invite an international high school student into your home, said Karen Hector, state director for the International Education Forum. The International Education Forum(IEF) has been bringing foreign students to the United States since 1981. Every year approximately 10,000 students travel to the United States through IEF. The organization's mission is to provide opportunity for greater understanding between cultures of the world, said Hector. IEF offers an exciting opportunity for exchange students

and host families. Host families can learn firsthand about other cultures, while exchange students share in the American dream. "In Oklahoma, we usually make about 20 placements to host families. So far we have only made 20 and we are looking for more host families," said Hector. Students, usually between 1518 years old, travel from more than 35 different countries, including Western Europe, Asia and South America After screening, students are selected on maturity, academic qualifications and English language skills. Students also provide their own pocket money to cover personal expenses and carry full accident and health insurance. Each student has the option of participating in a three, five or ten month program, said Hector. Host families provide room, board, transportation and guidance to these students. Each host family reviews students' applications and can select the student of their choice. "We have placed many students with families whose children are grown and with couples whose kids are in college,"said Hector. IEF is currently seeking qualified host families for students who are arriving in the U.S. in the near future. IEF is based in Bay Shore, N.Y. and is designated by the United States Information Agency as a Teenage Exchange Visitor Program. For more information about IEF and becoming a host family, call Karen Hector at 3325797 or (1-800) 736-6497. \Wv*I"",u4k

Chairperson attends White House conference By Matt Williamson Staff Writer

Estrogen may lower risk of disease WASHINGTON (AP) — Estrogen, the female hormone that can protect older women from brittle bones and heart disease, may also help make the mind keener and the memory sharper, a researcher says. Though estrogen does not create sudden genius, Dr. Uriel Halbreich of the State University of New York at Buffalo said there is a clear and significant improvement in mental tests among older women who take the hormone. "Estrogen in general seems to be a cognitive enhancer," said Schneider. He said there have been random reports that estrogen seems to aid the memory of Alzheimer's disease patients and that one study suggested that estrogen therapy among older women lowered the risk of Alzheimer's. Women naturally produce estrogen until menopause. An artificial version of estrogen now is often given to women after menopause because the hormone helps prevent osteoporosis, the brittle-bone disease, and lowers the risk of heart disease. This is called estrogen replacement therapy.

FBI helps battle international crime WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The FBI plans to open an office in Warsaw as soon as possible to help in the battle against international crime, director Louis Freeh said July 1. Freeh, on a 10-day swing through eastern Europe, talked of bolstering "what will be a very strong working relationship" with Poland to stem drug trafficking, money laundering, smuggling and terrorism. It is to include exchanges of information, liaison officers, experts and training. Polish President Lech Walesa agreed on the need for cooperation, saying "the United States can provide us with a level of assistance." "We all have to be prepared for the threat to Poland, Russia and the rest of the world," Freeh said. The office is to include U.S. Treasury and Drug Enforcement Administration agents. Freeh also plans to open an FBI office in Moscow and has heard a request from Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel for an office in Prague.

Plane crashes on school tennis court SEELEY LAKE, Mont. (AP) — A single-engine airplane crashed on an elementary school tennis court, killing the pilot and barely missing about 100 preschoolers gathered for a Fourth of July celebration. The Piper J-3 bounced to within 15 feet of the children Monday, then spun into the net of the tennis court. The pilot, Bud Linderman, was the only person in the plane. There were no other injuries. The children were waiting for the plane to drop pingpong balls as part of a contest sponsored by local businesses. Some of the balls could be turned in for prizes. Witnesses said the plane skimmed nearby trees, struck a 10foot-high fence and then slammed into the court. He knew he was in trouble," said Cindy Carlson, who was on the court with the children. "I looked at his face the whole time. He aimed that plane so he wouldn't hurt anybody else."

Dr. Carol Swink, chairperson for the nursing department at the University of Central Oklahoma was one of 50 community leaders across the nation invited to discuss the Health Securities Act at the White House with first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton June 24. Swink attended the conference with other leaders from the business, economic and medical professions who were picked at random to take part in the conference. "I didn't get an opportunity to ask 'How did you get my name?' Maybe it was through one of the organizations," said Swink. Swink is a member of the American Nursing Association and the Oklahoma Nursing Association (ONA). With the ONA, Swink serves as chair of the Government Activities Committee. Swink believes that serving as the chair of the Nurses Legislative Day, a lobbying action by the ONA, was the reason she was recognized by the Clinton admin is-

tration to come to the conference. The first hour and a half were handled by the first lady's staff, who told where the act came from and what it now looks like. "The Health Securities Act began as an all encompassing act. It tried to cover so many of the facets (of health care). It began as 1,300 pages and is now probably much reduced," said Swink. Now the legislation is down to three main points: universal coverage, who will pay for the coverage and insurance reform, said Swink.

Dr. Swink believes the rising cost of health care is the reason behind the legislation. "Hospitals say it costs more to stay in business. They have three to four people employed for every person hospitalized. They (the hospitals) practice defensive medicine, and medical malpractice suits cost," said Swink. When the first lady came in to the meeting, the room stopped, said Swink. "Mrs. Clinton is a very convincing speaker. She said 'We are trying to protect what people already have.' That made me think of myself," said Swink. Swink's ideas about the funding for the system differs from the standpoint the Clinton administration has taken. "I'd hate to see private industry excluded. It should be a mix of private (industry) and government," said Swink. "I found her (Mrs. Clinton) to be intelligent, articulate, personable and charismatic. She was never at a loss of words, she gave very sound answers to questions. I am not saying that I believed them," said Swink.

Dahmer attacked at chapel service PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) — A prison inmate tried to cut Jeffrey Dahmer's throat during a chapel service, but the serial killer only ended up with a minor scratch on his throat. The razor blade on the inmate's homemade plastic knife fell off before it could hurt Dahmer, said Corrections Department spokesman Joseph L. Scislowicz. "He was not cut," Scislowicz said. "It was a superficial scratch." The attack occurred Sunday while Dahmer was worshiping in the chapel at the Columbia Correctional Institution. Authorities did not say what type of service Dahmer was attending. He was baptized in prison this year by the minister of the 100-member Church of Christ in Madison. Scislowicz didn't know the motive for the attack and hadn't beard of any other threats against Dahmer.

Music set to screen in computer studio By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Amid the slow-flickering cathode ray tubes (CRTs), humming hard drives and clicking keyboards in the Liberal Arts Computer Studio, multimedia artists work on projects in graphic design and electro-acoustics at the University of Central Oklahoma. Keith R. Bowden, a lecturer in visual art and design and director of the studio, explained that it is set up to accommodate music and graphic design students. Enrollment in multimedia related courses has risen in the last few years because computers and computer-related tasks are becoming a prerequisite for obtaining employment, said Bowden. Bowden said the dean of the liberal arts department is supportive in keeping the learning environment for UCO students up-todate. Bowden teaches his students to work with graphic design and desktop publishing software. Bowden worked as a graphic artist for KATT 100 FM. His artwork has appeared on KATT billboards and posters. On the other side of the studio, Dr. Samuel Morse Magrill's classes do electro-accoustic musical composition. Magrill is an associate professor of music at UCO. "Music majors and graphic design majors are who this studio is set up for," said Bowden. "Some people say that it's kind of a 'cop out' to have computers involved in performing. But I

disagree, because there are so many little details that it requires," said James Megna, a music education and computer science major. "I think too many people are just scared of computers. They don't understand because they haven't taken the time to learn how to use them,"said Megna. Eventually both types of computers will be completely compatible. The studio is based around the Macintosh (MAC) Quadra family of computers, which are designed to be more visually-oriented and user-friendly than IBM DOSbased computers, said Bowden. Bowden said artists and graphic designers are more "visually literate." "They would rather spend their time drawing, designing, illustrating or laying something out on a page rather than trying to remember keyboard commands." Although DOS-based computers have become easier to use with the release of Microsoft Windowsbased software, the Macintosh is still the preferred machine among most artistic professionals, said Bowden. "I prefer the DOS-based machines because they allow me more control over the creative process," said Megna. "It doesn' t matter that much any more if you are comfortable with one computer or the other because both ends of the market are coming together to make things a little more universal. "Processors are getting faster and things are just moving at a

Baxter leads U.S. • to tennis cup title

Tyson drops final year to try for pros

By Rodd Melton Student Writer

By Mike Erwin Student Writer

Each year, a number of college basketball underclassmen bypass their senior seasons to pursue dreams of fame and fortune in the N.B.A. For former Central Oklahoma player Johnny Tyson, the move didn't pay off. Yet. Although NBA teams selected arecord-tying nine underclassmen in last week's draft in Indianapolis, Tyson was not among them. However, he still has a chance to play for an NBA team by catching on as a free agent. Tyson, a 6-10 center from Greenville, N.C., played one season at UCO after transferring from Trinity Junior College in Texas. Last season, he led the NCAA Division II in blocked shots with 126 while averaging 10.6 points and nine rebounds for UCO. Tyson's decision to skip his senior season did not surprise the UCO coaching staff. "We knew Johnny was considering going pro right out of junior college," said Jim Seward, head coach of the Bronchos. "Basically, people have been telling Johnny he can play professionally, and he felt ready to go for it.," said Seward. Eight to 10 NBA teams expressed an interest in Tyson and he has participated in camps conducted by the Chicago Bulls, Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trailblazers and Seattle Supersonics, said Seward. To catch the eyes of pro scouts, Tyson has also been playing for the Miami Tropics of the United States Basketball League, a hot spot for pro prospects, said Seward. According to Marty Blake, the NBA' s director of scouting, Tyson will get a chance, despite not being drafted. "He didn't have a very good year (at UCO), but somebody will give him a shot."

Central Oklahoma men's and women's tennis coach Francis Baxter led a United States tennis team of players 60 and over to victory at the Von Cramm Cup tennis tournament May 20 at Burlingame, California. Francis Baxter, was selected for the second straight year as coach and non-playing captain for the United States team competing for the Von Cramm Cup. The Von Cramm Cup is awarded to the country with the best tennis players 60 and over. The award is named after German tennis star Godfrey Von Cramm, who was the top player in the world in the 20's and 30's, said Baxter.

The UCO wrestling media guide was named Best in the Nation for Division B- C (NCAA II and III) for the fourth consecutive year, while the men's and women's basketball brochure was picked fourth best in Division B and the volleyball media guide was selected selected fifth best in Division B. All three media guides were written, edited and designed by the UCO sports information staff of Sports Information Director Mike Kirk and Student Assistant Sports Information Director Stan Wagnon.

The tournament consisted of head to head matches against other countries with a number one singles match, a number two singles match, and a doubles match. The United States seeded first defeated the No. 3 seeded Canadian team 2-1 in the semifinals and beat the No. 4 seeded German team 3-0 in the finals. Baxter said, it is a unique experience playing against other countries and before each match there was an exchange of gifts between players and coaches of various countries. Baxter said the tournament will be held at various sights through out the United States next May. This is the second straight cup victory for Baxter as he led the U.S. team to victory at the Von Cramm tournament last Summer.

Each department receives set fee waivers By Nicki Cormier

Student Writer Many University of Central Oklahoma students may not be aware that each department on campus has a set dollar amount allotted to them by the university for general enrollment fee waivers. The waivers are intended to provide financial assistance to Oklahoma students and to promote scholarships throughout all academic and professional fields, stated data given by the Budget Office. "Each department has its own basic criteria for fee waivers. The head of a department usually has to make sure that he follows the ethnic rules and guidelines set by the State Regents by making sure he has a good cross-section of students," said Sharon Martin, director of budget for UCO. The overall guidelines and limits for fee waivers come directly to the university from the State Regents, and the Budget Office must make sure that the policies and procedures are dealt with, said Martin.

Those guidelines require that at least 50 percent of the recipients have financial needs and a grade point average of at least 2.0. They also state that waivers must be given in accordance with the distribution of student enrollment among the various academic levels, and the amount of enrolled credit hours in each college. Students must also be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours per semester or three credit hours during the summer term. In addition, some categories offer fee waivers for the dependents of POW/MIA's and police and for families of firefighters killed in the line of duty. Data from the fall of 1993 shows that the College of Liberal Arts had a credit hour enrollment of 52,788, with a fee waiver dollar distribution between colleges of $390,778. By comparison the College of Business Administration had an

enrollment of 28,805 credit hours and a dollar distribution of $176,171. Using the music department as an example, Martin explained how each grouping of fee waivers works within a department. Fee waivers fall into several different groups: band, choir, music theater, orchestra and a small pool associated with a piano program. In these areas the music department requires that all students study privately and that they require a 4.0 or 3.0 grade in a course, said Martin. "Students don't necessarily have to be a music major but they have to be a part of the program. For example, in order to get a band scholarship they have to be a member of the band," Martin said. For more information, students should contact individual college departments or Nancy Benjamin at the Scholarship Office in Thatcher Hall at 341-2980, Ext. 2636.

Alumna writes article on land dispute UCO debaters make history Two University of Central not advance, said Douglas for The Chronicles of Oklahoma Oklahoma debaters made his- Dukes, director of the debate By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer

Carol H. Welsh, an alumna of the University of Central Oklahoma, wrote an article describing a "deadly land dispute" from early in Oklahoma' s history for the June edition of The Chronicles of Oklahoma. "Deadly Gaines: The Struggle for a Quarter Section of Land" is a description of the land-related disputes between individuals and an Oklahoma townsite organization following the opening of unassigned territories in 1889. The dispute concerned what is now part of downtown Oklahoma City, said Mary Ann Blochowiak,

publications director for the Oklahoma Historical Society. The article specifically describes the cases disputing the quarter section between Walker and Western Avenues and Reno Ave. and Fourth Street, which eventually lead to the death of William L. Couch, a leader of the "Boomer" crusades during the 1880s, said Blochowiak. The article includes an illustrated map of the area and pictures of the buildings currently on the site, said Blochowiak. During the preparation of the article, Welsh used original case documents housed at UCO' s Max Chambers Library Special Collections and Archives, said Blochowiak

Welsh graduated from UCO with a masters in history, and is now an adjunct professor of history at Oklahoma City University. She also continues to work on projects with the Oklahoma Historical Society. "Anyone may enter articles for publication with The Chronicles, so long as they are 25 pages or more not including annotation," said Blochowiak. "We mostly get articles concerning the five civilized tribes, though we seek a wide variety of historical topics," said Blochowiak. For more information about joining the Oklahoma Historical Society, contact the membership office at 521-2491.

Faculty returns from sister university By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

Deans G. Kay Powers, George Avellano, Frank Wert and Kenneth Elsner met with their counterparts at the Universidad Popular Autonomal Del Estado De Puebla (Autonomus University of Puebla) and took part in discussions on expanding the exchange program already in place to allow the exchange of students and professors. Dr. Paula Smith, associate professor of economics at UCO, has already taken part in the exchange.

She will return in about two weeks, after having spent the spring semester at the Puebla university. She leaves behind her a program, partially funded by the state of Puebla, to research the economic effects of street vendors and other merchants not normally included in other economic research programs, said Dr. Frank Wert, dean of the college of business and administration.

BSU to hold summer worship sessions By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer What would you do if you had the opportunity to spend summer vacation with God? Some Oklahoma college campus ministers were asked to answer that question. The University of Central Oklahoma chapter of the Baptist Student Union (BSU) will have three ministers giving their answers at its summer worship sessions at 8 p.m. Tuesdays in the B SU building, said Suzanne Lillard, associate director of BSU. "Answers" to the question

will be presented by Bobby Lipscomb July 12, Jay Kindswater July 19 and Brett Rogers July 26, said Lillard. "The Uniqueness of God" is the title of Lipscomb's remarks. Lipscomb is a UCO graduate, visiting from the BSU chapter at North Eastern Oklahoma A&M, said Lillard. "Before becoming a minister, Lipscomb was a member of the Edmond Fire Department," said Lillard. Kindswater, a BSU affiliated campus minister from Northern Oklahoma College at Tonkawa, will present "The Faithfulness of God," said Lillard.

"The Infinity of God," is the last presentation. It will be given by Rogers, a campus minister from Connors State College at Worrier, Okla. "Rogers is known for playing music and singing during his presentations," said Lillard. Four of the seven visiting ministers have already spoken on the question. They were from Rose State College, Redlands Community College, Seminole Junior college, and Murray State College in Tishamingo, said Lillard. For more information about BSU activities, contact Lillard at 341-1232.

Differences deserve human kindness By Carol Cole Mills

Guest Writer Something' s been bothering me for a long time. Educated and intelligentpeople, persons who would normally never be prejudiced, completely ignore the logic of this argument. I'm speaking of the notion that gay people choose their lifestyle and sexual orientation versus being born with the inclination. Gay Pride Week a couple of weeks ago seemed to fuel the insensitivity of individuals who do not understand gays, nor do they care to be enlightened.

Column Put yourself in the place of a gay man in Oklahoma. Quite possibly you face extreme prejudice at work. Maybe your family has disowned you. You might even get beaten up for being gay. You can't legally marry the person you love. And society makes it more than a little hard to caress that person in public, even holding hands. Would you choose that lifestyle? No. A person doesn't choose to be gay, they are gay. It is pure and

simple logic. With the way our society has traditionally treated gays and lesbians, it's no wonder many gays do choose to do one thing. Many choose to stay in the closet. Those that do choose to be "out" face a difficult road. These problems are the tip of the iceberg. It's a subject I know a little about—as a straight woman, daughter of a gay man and sister of two gay men. I've seen a person's

struggle to sublimate or accept their sexuality. And I can tell you, persons trying to face living a gay lifestyle with dignity have a mammoth challenge. It took courage for gay people to celebrate their sexuality during Gay Pride Week. To the people who cling to their prejudices, if you can' t understand the issue, do one thing. Live and let live and give people who might be different than you basic human respect.

UCO to co-host national wheelchair championships By Tonya Jones

Student Writer For the first time in Oklahoma, approximately 250 top wheelchair athletes from across the United States will compete for recognition as the best in the nation in the 1 1 th annual Junior National Wheelchair Championships at the University of Central Oklahoma. UCO and the Greater Wheelchair Athletic Association (GOWAA) will co-host the national championships which will take place July 10-16 at various locations on the UCO campus. Opening ceremonies wili include the national anthem, speakers and Native American dancers, said Denise Hutchins, meet codirector for GOWAA "Essentially we are trying to make this as much like the Olympics as possible, because in actuality, this is their Olympics," said Hutchins. All athletes competing have met qualifying time and distance standards at previous regional competitions throughout the United States.

Physically disabled entries must be 6-18 years old and will be categorized by type of disability and by age. "We try to do all of the sports that have an able body equivalent," said Hutchins. An important plus to these events is the opportunity it presents to the athletes. There is no limit to the amount of events they may compete in, as long as they qualify. A primary goal is to eventually have as many comparable Olympic events as possible, with as few modifications as possible, said Hutchins. The week long events are free to the public and will include archery, slalom, table tennis, track and field and weightlifting. Volunteers are also needed to assist officials in events. "Anyone who would like to volunteer, we would love to have, no experience necessary," said Hutchins. For information on events, contact Denise Hutchins at 271-3692. To volunteer, contact Barbara Srnec at 348-3375.

Fake ID teaches expensive lesson By Nicki Cormier

By Tonya Jones

Student Writer How much does it cost to get a fake ID card? It turned out to be very expensive for "Mary," one 20-year old University of Central Oklahoma art student. When Mary moved to Edmond from Chesapeake, Va. she was eager to make friends and be "one of the crowd." Unfortunately, most of the new friends Mary had made were over 21 and enjoyed dancing at a local bar. In order to join them she took a birth certificate belonging to her 23-year old friend down to a local tag agency and told them she had lost her driver's license. Five minutes later, she had her fake ID. In November, Mary got caught trying to enter In CaHoots, a local dance club, with the fake ID. It was confiscated at the door by the club's bouncer. Mary thought no more about it until Valentine's Day of this year when the police came into her place of work at Quail Springs Mall and arrested her. "They (the police) just put the cuffs on me and led me out

through the mall and a police car took me to jail. It was so embarrassing," said Mary. Mary was taken to the county jail where she spent eight hours in the holding cell. "I sat most of the time between a woman caught dealing drugs and another who had stabbed her boyfriend's other girlfriend," Mary said. "The holding cell was about 15 by 20 feet. It had benches along the sides, a drinking fountain in one corner and a toilet in the other. I was dying to go to the bathroom but didn't, as it was all open and everyone could see you going," said Mary. "They didn't book me into the jail until I'd been in there for five hours. The bail was set at $2,000 and it took my dad three hours to bail me out. It was a degrading experience," said Mary. Two weeks later Mary went back to the jail for four hours. She was arraigned and charged with forging an application for fraudulent identification, a felony charge. Mary's dad hired a lawyer, and his fee was $750 "up front." The case dragged on for three more months. The hearing was postponed five times. Finally, on her sixth court appearance, the charge was dropped to a misde-

meanor and she was fined $350 and received one year probation. "A lot of kids got caught in the last year. I have bailed out eight people accused of having a fake ID - and we're not the only bonding company in Oklahoma City," said Carol Harris of Eden Bail Bonds. "Usually the fake ID is a driver's license that they have obtained by using someone else' s birth certificate or sometimes they alter the date of birth on their own driver's license," said Harris. "Any time that you go to court and they file felony charges on you, you have to get a lawyer," said Harris. Police regularly check local bars for underage drinkers; the owner of the bar is subject to a heavy fine if caught serving liquor to a minor, which is why they usually make sure they check ID's very carefully, said Harris. So how much did Mary's fake ID cost? Apart from her loss of dignity, she missed so much class time that she failed one of her courses. The lawyer and bail bond fees cost $1,000, she lost pay from missing work and the driver's license obtained from the tag agency cost $5.

Extra, extra!

Casting call goes out for movie written, directed by local artists extras. All types of people are needed for these remaining parts,

By Tamara Jones Student Writer Have you ever wanted to be in the movies? Well, here is your chance to interview for a part in a local director's latest film-and extras are needed for a movie being filmed on location at various local settings during the month of July. The shooting starts next week for "Twilight Tracker," a movie about a monster hunter in a small town, and some minor parts are still open, including one liners and '''' ''

said Constantine Nasr, the film's director. Nasr said he will meet and interview everyone wanting a part to find out if they are what he needs. "It's like 'Evil Dead,' Highlander' and James Bond all at the same time," said Nasr. "I plan to take elements hopefully of my favorite directors and putting them in, kind of using what I've seen of their work, then utilizing what I' ye learned at school,"

he said. The screenplay was written by Steven Vincent, 27, who is a manager of the Suncoast in Penn Square Mall. Nasr is a student at the University of Southern California but is staying with his parents over the summer, with plans to return to school in the fall. The shooting will take place at the Wilds Fish Farm, northeast of El Reno, for the exterior shots. Other locations have yet to be disclosed. "We should shoot about five

scenes a week to stay on schedule so it will be done by the time I go back to school. I have plans to send it to some festivals in New York and in California. And then maybe send it to some small studios," said Nasr. And if it is good enough, maybe it will be marketed on video cassette, said Nasr. "The film will be filmed on video, instead of film, using a Sony HI-Fi camera which is 40 percent better than a normal good quality camera. The resolution is really good. I want to get an editing unit

that does blue screens, slow motion and wide-angle shots," said Nasr. For more information, call Nasr at 722-5683. PUZZLE KEY
