UCO employees face job loss; Independent contractors considered
U
CO is cleaning up its campus and may be hiring new people to do it. Approximately 20 custodians were notified last week that university officials submitted a proposal suggesting elimination of their jobs. Under the proposal, custodians would be replaced by an independent contracting firm. Don Powers, facilities management administrator, said the university began considering outside contractors when it became apparent certain buildings were not being serviced properly by the staff. Powers said if the request to take bids from independent custodial contractors is approved, the current custodial staff would be terminated sometime in October or November. "Our concern is having clean buildings," Powers said. "We don't feel that we've The issue is been getting the service we clean facilities need to have from our inand how can we house staff. It's something best get that. we've struggled with for a good long time." —Don Powers Custodial contractors are facilities mgmt. not new to UCO. The administrator university currently contracts 70 percent of its custodial work, Powers said. The remaining 30 percent is handled by UCO staff custodians. Powers said he was satisfied with the current outside contractors, but added there are problems with the contract that, if the new proposal passes, would be rectified. The cost to the university to contract 100 percent of its custodial service is not expected to change much from what is spent in the current 70/30 split, Powers said. Current outside contracts represent approximately $600,000 annually, while in-house staff costs close to $300,000, he said. But cost is not the determining factor in this decision, said Powers "The issue is clean facilities and how can we best get that." A —By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer

EDITORIAL
THE PR.SIDENT â–ş M. RELAY Whose idea was this? he reaction became commonplace at UCO as buildings with Greek columns and mismatched bricks began popping up across the campus during George Nigh's tenure. The vision of the former president has left a,permanent mark on this university that students, faculty and staff will have to live with for a long time. President Roger Webb has stated a clear vision to bring UCO into the 21st century with technology. He was instrumental in making Northeastern State University a front-runner in technology during his 19 years there and has said he will make "catching up" at UCO a priority. But the vision won't be developed by just Webb. Already, a new position has been created for a vice president for information technology who will set goals to determine the technical needs of the campus. The 25-member Technology Planning and Utilization Committee, which was developed earlier this year, will continue to meet to discuss computer needs of staff, faculty and students. Committees and vice presidents are valuable aids in decision making to a university, but who knows more about the learning experience and what we lack here at UCO than the students. A new president and a new vision make this an opportune time for students to get involved in determining the needs of this school. Whether its voicing a need for more computers in the classroom, Internet access or longer computer lab hours, students should take time to let faculty and administrators know what their needs are. Though it will take years to fully implement the new technology, this is a golden opportunity to participate in making a mark on UCO. And when people ask, "Whose idea was this anyway," some of the credit will be ours. 4

In the Korean war, the U.S. Air Force was the main operator of the Mustang, and the U.S. Army (Not the then defunct "Army Air Corps") had two Cavalier conversion Mustangs in the inventory until the mid 1970's. One of which can still be seen at the Army Aviation Center Museum at Fort Rucker, AL. in regular Army markings. I currently work on a P51D Mustang at Wiley Post Airport in Oklahoma City. It was originally purchased from the Air National Guard in Atlanta, GA in the early 1960's. Mustangs were also built under license, and used in other countries, such as Canada, and they were lend leases to England as well. I suggest that one be careful when telling someone else to "Check your history books" when they do not do so themselves. I say this to keep the Dr. from "Being shot down in embarrassment by the flak of accuracy" next time.

New VP to coordinate information technology on campus By Sandi Craig Staff Writer
I
t's only fitting that Dr. Cynthia Rolfe was sitting at her computer one day searching the Internet when she read about a position at UCO as assistant vice president for information technology. As assistant vice chancellor for education and information services at University of Nebraska, Rolfe would often gather information from the Internet, she said. However, this particular advertisement caught her attention and she responded through e-mail. As a result, Rolfe started her new job July 1 as UCO's first vice president for information technology. The position was created to provide leadership for UCO to catch up in the area of information technology. President Roger Webb said, "It (the position) is absolutely critical to the future of this campus. We have some serious catching up to do." She brings with her a background in the academic area, network and management consulting field and the administrative area. "Information technology is my tool," said Rolfe. "Technology should not drive the university, but the mission of the university should drive the technology." Rolfe said she plans to spend the first year putting together the services that need to be offered and build partnerships with UCO
and the Edmond and metropolitan communities. "One of the first things we need to do is find out what the needs of the campus are through a technical inventory," said Rolfe. "We have made this a priority and I am confident that in a relatively short time period that UCO will be on par with other institutions of our size," said Webb. "Information technology departments are here to support the needs of the campus, but we can't do that unless we find out what the needs of the campus are and how we can build on the expertise that is already here," Rolfe said. "The way to do that is once we learn the needs of the
university and metropolitan communities, we will develop a strategic technology plan," she said. Rolfe said she wants to get different philosophies and feedback from faculty, staff and students about where they are and where they want to go in terms of technology. "I will be meeting with various committees to set priorities to determine the needs and to open lines of communication," she said. Rolfe also said there are a lot of opportunities in education through virtual reality and distance learning. Virtual reality is the use of technology to simulate a situation in a three-dimensional perspective, while distance
learning is when the education provider is in a different location than the learner, said Rolfe. Rolfe returns to Oklahoma after 14 years. She grew up in Stillwater and got her bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees

Two UCO police officers receive promotions By Curtis Cobb Staff Writer
T
wo members of the UCO police department were honored with promotions in an informal ceremony July 3. Officer Christy Collins, who has been with the department for more than three years, was promoted to sergeant and Sgt. Chris Wooldridge, a seven year veteran, was promoted to captain. Collins, who has a bachelors degree in criminal science from UCO, is currently the only certified police bike officer on campus. She will be responsible for training others in that program, said UCO Police Chief Jim Roberts. Her primary responsibility, though, will be as a field supervisor. Collins said she is looking forward to the added responsibility. Wooldridge began his career with the Edmond Police Department 15 years ago before joining the campus police department in 1990. He has a bachelors degree in human resources from UCO. As a captain, he will be in
charge of field investigations, said Roberts. He will also be responsible for updating the department's computer system to provide more cost efficiency. Currently, officers must write reports using a manual typewriter. More computers will speed up that process tremendously, said Wooldridge. It will allow officers to spend less time in the office and more time on patrol.

UCO picked unanimously to win LSC North By Phil Long Sports Editor
C
entral Oklahoma was a unanimous pick to win the Lone Star Conference's North Division by the coaches, athletic directors and sports information directors. Central received all 18 first place votes and the maximum 252 points. Central, who finished second in the LSC last year, will return fourteen starters from the squad
who went 9-3 and was defeated in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals in 1996. Central's six new North Division foes will face their first complete seasons of NCAA Division II and LSC action. Northeastern received 11 secondplace votes and 184 points. Harding (Ark.) followed the Redmen with 158 points. The 1996 NAIA Division I champs Southwestern followed with 154, Southeastern had 144, and East Central had 72. Quachita Baptist (Ark.) was
picked to finish in the cellar on all but two ballots and had 42 points. Central will begin spring drills in about five weeks. Central's season will begin on Sept.6 when Northwestern will come to Edmond to face the Bronchos at 7 p.m. Central will then travel south on Sept. 13 to face LSC South favorite and defending LSC champion Texas A&M Kingsville. Central's first LSC North tilt will be on Oct. 11 will the Bronchos travel to East Central. Central's last six games will all be LSC North division contests.

A national treasure remembered Jimmy Stewart was about more than making movies
STEVEN •
is an unusual phenomenon, but I found myself agreeing whole-heartedly with President Clinton last Wednesday when he said America has lost a national treasure. James Stewart, one of the last great actors from the golden age of film, died that day. But Jimmy Stewart was so much more than just an actor. He was the living embodiment of the American ideal and a true American hero. With his boyish charm and SAYS... distinctive voice, Stewart portrayed the average man in a way that was anything but average.
His peers agreed and honored him with an Academy Award for his work in The Philadelphia Story, and again with a Lifetime Achievment Award near the end of his life. However, making movies was not the most important thing in Stewart's life. When America entered World War II, Stewart put aside his Hollywood career and volunteered for service, flying the most dangerous bombing missions against Nazi Germany. Duty to country was more important to Stewart than a
successful career. Even the great John Wayne lacked the loyalty necessary to put aside his personal aspirations for his country. How many of today's stars would do what Stewart did? I can't see Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise doing it. Or, in this new era, would Uma Thurman or Jenny McCarthy go to a combat zone for America? I doubt it. Viet Nam protests, government cover-ups, and social

decline stole America's innocence. It's not that bad things weren't happening during Stewart's peak years, but he put himself above them and showed us how we could be regardless of what was happening around us. In his films, he had a standard: The good guy always won. Maybe it's not a realistic philosophy, but it's what we want from our own lives. In this age of the anti-hero, it's refreshing to watch Mr. Smith bring his open, honest way of doing things to Washington and set things right with the crooked politicians. Stewart's versatility was matched by his dedication to
perfection. Whether he was playing Mr. Smith, a two-fisted cowboy, or a band leader, Stewart always gave 100 percent to the job and created some of the best films ever to grace the silver screen. Jimmy Stewart may be gone, but he has left a legacy we can all return to again and again thanks to the miracle of the VCR. We can watch him in his many roles and learn what it means to be an American. As Zuzu said at the end of It's a Wonderful Life, "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings." Let the bells ring for Jimmy Stewart.
