Temperatures rise on first floor of University Center The heat is on to cool down the building addition
E
mployees in the University Center's new Advisement and Admissions Offices don't usually wear shorts to work, but since their move from the Administration Building last week, they've been looking for ways to keep cool in the unbearable heat of the first floor addition. Employees began complaining about the lack of air conditioning last week when they moved into the offices. By Tuesday of this week, conditions were so bad a group of 15 workers faxed a memo pleading their case to A.K. Rahman, director of auxiliary enterprises, which maintains the University Center's operations. The memo stated that employees found it difficult to work in the heat and asked for "a timely solution to the problem." Rahman immediately responded. He said UCO's facilities management department is working "as hard as they can to find the problem." The first floor air conditioning is not working and hasn't been working since the offices were moved, said Farrell Rosson, interim associate director of facilities management. He said the problems will be corrected when sensors used to indicate air flow and balance are installed. A number of completion dates for the project have come and gone, he
said, but the installation should be completed today or tomorrow. Independent contractors Matherly Mechanical and Johnson Control are responsible for the work needed, Rosson said. The reason for the delay is "because the work hasn't been completed in a sufficient manner, but hopefully that will be done in the very near future," he said. As of press time, neither of the contractors could be reached for comment. But even after the sensors are installed, there may still be work to be done. A checklist will be performed to analyze the air conditioning system and search for any other glitches, Rosson said. After that, contractors will make any necessary adjustments. "I'm not able to forecast the number of problems we will find," he said. Rosson said he hopes to have the problems corrected and the building returned to a comfortable temperature within the next two weeks. Meanwhile, employees like Veterans Affairs Coordinator Linda Wright will have to rely on their fans for relief from the heat. The morning hours aren't bad, she Fans were used to keep employees cool from the heat in the University Center's new said. "But as the day heats up, it gets Advisement and Admissions offices. The air conditioning was not functioning since the unbearable." offices were mold from the Administration Building last week.

EDITORIAL
S
exual harassment policies at Oklahoma universities are becoming more generalized in their wording. The trend is touted by officials as a simplification of complex policies, but others see it as a method of making the policy vague—a move that quite possibly could protect universities from potential lawsuits. This year UCO adopted a revised sexual harassment policy similar to those implemented at Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma Portions of the previous sexual harassment policy said all the employment or academic decisions were to be made on the basis of ability and qualifications related to the job and academic performance, without unreasonable considerations of sex, marital status or sexual orientation or preference. Portions of the new policy generalize by saying things such•as sexual harassment can be defined when such conduct has the effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work or academic preformance or by creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working or academic environment. Simplifying complicated technical and legal jargon into easy-to-understand terms is something that could be beneficial to everyone. But what good is simplified language if important points are lost in the transition? If the victim of sexual harassment can't find specific guidelines for violations in a policy manual, he or she might not even know they have been sexually harassed. Therein lies the benefit to the university. If you can't define a specific act of sexual harassment, you might not sue. And if you do sue, a generalized policy can be interpreted so many different ways it would be impossible to win. What university officials might not realize, however, is that generalized policies could backfire. Without specific guidelines on what is and is not allowed, employees might unwittingly violate the policy, putting themselves and the university in a potentially litigious situation. The bottom line of a university's sexual harassment policy should be to inform faculty, staff and students exactly what is acceptable behavior in the university environment. Specific language is the only way to provide that information.

e the custodians from the resident halls feel that we weren't treated fairly to the words coming from Mr. Don Powers and Dr. Wooten. We really don't agree that the entire university is not clean. Maybe a few areas, but not the entire campus. How can they say we weren't doing our jobs, every residence hall is not filthy. Maybe if we could get supplies we need, there would be a different story. Sometimes it took three months to get the basic cleaning supplies, but we had to make do. And also if you find a chemical that cleans really good, next month it's not available, because it's too expensive. We the custodians don't understand how we can
loose our jobs over cleanliness and don't have the supplies to clean with. A person can walk through a building two or three times and say it's not clean and we the custodians are in those buildings eight hours a day and we know it's not filthy. Maybe one day we could have turn about day or week, put the complainers in the custodial positions for one week, then we would see clean! !

Expert offers tips for surviving the summer heat
A
s summer temperatures climb dangerously high, extra precaution is needed to prevent heat related illnesses such as heat stroke. KFOR-TV Meteorologist Dan Threlkeld offers some tips that can aid in averting such problems: • Pace yourself, he says. Do outdoor work early in the morning or late in the evening. • Wear light-weight clothing that is also light in color. Dark colors absorb heat and lighter colors repel it, he said. • Drink plenty of water. Try to avoid alcohol and caffeine since both serve to dehydrate rather than replenish moisture the body needs. The Oklahoma State Department of Health has some additional tips: • Keep air circulating with air conditioners, fans or open windows. Air circulation carries heat away from the body. •Take cool baths or showers. •ff you take medications, ask your physician if they are likely to interfere with your ability to perspire. •Consult a doctor if serious signs of heat stress appear such as dizziness, rapid heartbeat, diarrhea, nausea, cramps, throbbing headaches, dry skin (no sweating), chest pain, vomiting or breathing problems. J.R. Nida, M.D., State Health Commissioner, recommends checking elderly neighbors or friends who are isolated and may need heat relief A —By Curtis Cobb Staff Writer
Cost and comfort: University officials set indoor temperatures for summer months ith summertime upon us, university officials are trying to balance comfortable indoor temperatures with manageable utility usage. Farrell Rosson, interim associate director of facilities management, said 73 degrees is the ideal thermostat setting for the summer months. But maintaining that temperature and being cost effective requires careful monitoring. UCO contracts with Johnson Control to manage the utility efficiency of the university, Rosson said. The company monitors electrical output and recommends ways to budget that use. Johnson Control has implemented a time on/time off
W
schedule for buildings on campus. Individual units are programmed to shut down during off-peak hours, Rosson said. Periodically, the settings are changed to accomodate special functions during those hours. Cost is a very important factor when budgeting utilities, said David Koehn, university controller. For example, the university paid $119,700 for natural gas and electricity in December 1996, Koehn said. In July 1996, the cost was $140,656. With additions to the university increasing, those costs will obviously go up, he said. —By Curtis Cobb Staff Writer

rn under e sentence of death kaPin Iran, Olya Roohizadegan said she must tell her stories of love, sacrifice, steadfastness, peace, and unity. But most of all the 54-year-old former Iranian prisoner promised to tell the story about ten innocent women who were tortured and hanged because
of their religious belief, the Baha'i Faith. Roohizadegan was the guest speaker of the UCO Baha'i Club and the Edmond Baha'i community Tuesday evening. She spoke about her life experiences to a crowd of more than 70. Roohizadegan said she will always be imprisoned by the memories of the ten women who were her cellmates and became her friends in the Sepah Prison in 1982. "My friend, Mrs. Tuba Za'irpour, who was a teacher, was beaten over 250 lashes with an electric cable. After they tortured my' friends they hung them on June 18, 1983," she said. Roohizadegan swore to her friend that if one day she was released she promised to go out in the world and tell their story. In 1983 she wrote Olya's Story to tell the world the truth about what happened.

On the 18th of May, 1982, they (Iranian Revolutionary Guards) came to my office and told me 'if you recant, if you deny your faith, you can work, and if not you will be sacked.' I cannot deny the truth, so I lost my job, and they took my husband's pension. —Olya Roohizadegan

She was born in 1943 into a Baha'i family in southern Iran. They were forced to keep their religion a secret due to the persecution directed against Baha'is at that time. At age 11 she spent time with her grandfather, where she found out about the Baha'i Faith and became a Baha'i. During her childhood she suffered persecution for her beliefs at school, and her family's home was attacked on several occasions. In 1979, as the attacks on the Baha'i community increased, she sent her two older sons to live in England, but kept her youngest son with her and her husband. "All Baha'i youth cannot go to a higher school or a university, so we decided to send our two older children to England to be educated," said Roohizadegan. Later, Olya and her husband, AllahMorad (Ruhi) were employed by the Iranian National Oil Company, where she was fired in 1982 for being a Baha'i. "On the 18th of May, 1982, they (Iranian Revolutionary Guards) came to my office and told me 'if you recant, if you deny your faith, you can work, and if not you will be sacked.' I cannot deny the truth, so I lost my job, and they took my husband's pension," said Roohizadegan. "More than 10,000 Baha'is lost their
They moved to England on March 6, 1984 and now live in Chelmsford, Essex, England. During the last four years she has traveled to Britain, Ireland, Canada and the United States, giving talks and interviews. She has appeared in interviews on (CNN) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Television as well as local radio programs. A documentary about her is in progress in the United Kingdom. Fullpage features have been published in The New York Times and The Daily Mirror. A film based on the book is scheduled to be released in 1998. With more than 300,000 members, the Baha'i Faith is Iran's largest religious minority—but it is not recognized as a legitimate religion in Iran. Since 1979, more than 200 Baha'is have been executed and 15 have disappeared and are presumed dead. Most executions took place in the first half of the 1980s and only two Baha'is have been executed since 1988. Roohizadegan said there are currently five Baha'is sentenced to death. For more information about the Baha'i Faith and the book, Olya's Story, contact Maria Sadeghi at 341-8432.
jobs and their pensions, but Baha'is didn't give up," she said. On Nov. 29, 1982, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards attacked their house and took her prisoner. Roohizadegan said that both she and her companion, Maria Sadeghi, a former UCO student, had attacks on their homes that night and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards also took Sadeghi's mother prisoner. "There were 600 homes burned in one of the villages," she said. During her two months in prison she was interrogated with the ten women who were later hanged. On Jan. 19, 1983, after two months in prison, they released her because they wanted to watch her, she said, and they wanted to follow her to find more Baha'is. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards began searching for her, so she and her husband and three-year-old son escaped to Pakistan, with the assistance of a Baluchi guide. Olya studied and became a licensed beautician and hairdresser while in Pakistan and tried to obtain asylum for her family in England, Australia or Canada. The United Nations intervened and granted them a British visa because their two older sons had been studying in England for some time.

Summer commencement to be held July 26 for 570 students
S
ummer commencement ceremonies for approximately 570 graduating UCO students from the four colleges and the graduate college are scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. July 26 at Hamilton Field House. "Few universities have summer commencement," said Terry May, assistant vice president for academic affairs. He explained that for UCO's unique student body of international students and older students already in the workforce, the summer commencement is needed because many students would be inconvenienced by being required to return to campus at a more traditional graduation time. This summer's ceremony is being held in the morning to "beat the heat," May said. Seating in Hamilton Field House is limited, so each graduate will be provided tickets for eight guests. May asks that any tickets that will not be used be returned to the office of degree certification to be redistributed to students who need more than their original eight. It will be President Roger Webb's first commencement exercise since taking office at UCO. Op

Summer graduates who don't have their "dream job" waiting for them after graduation won't have to wait before launching into the job-search mode. Thanks to UCO's Career Development and Placement Services (CDPS), students can sign up for help right after commencement ceremonies. CDPS and the UCO Alumni Association will sponsor a "Welcome Tent" following commencement exercises July 26 on the grounds of Hamilton Field House. "We want to promote an awareness of our services, gather information about those who have obtained jobs, those who still may be looking, and to see how the job search is going," said Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of CDPS. "We'll have a quick survey to fill out and provide some giveaways with information such as our phone number for graduates to call us later," Gage said. Gage added that there are many resources and services available through the CDPS office and that the staff is there to help UCO alumni not only now, but throughout their careers. "We want the graduates to know we're here for them now and always as UCO alumni," Gage said. The Alumni Association will also be giving away blue and yellow Koozie cup holders to graduates who come by the tent in their cap and gown. —By Steven E. Wedel

Tyson gets off too easy, says sports columnist By Darrell J. Weidner Sports Writer
O
n June 28, Iron Mike Tyson shocked the entire boxing community with his carnivorous act against Evander
Holyfield. Tyson claims his attack on Holyfield's ear was an attempt to get Holyfield to stop head budding him. Tyson's disqualification came about after repeated warnings to Tyson by the referee for breaking boxing etiquette but he chose to ignore them and took a bite out of Holyfield's ear. Last week the Nevada State Athletic Commission held Tyson accountable for his act by fining him only ten percent of a $30 million purse and suspending his boxing license for only a year. If a less known boxer had committed an act of this kind of depravity he would probably lose his license permanently. Tyson did not show up to defend his actions at the Commissions hearings. His attorney said that he was sorry for the action. Does his apology and the slight fine that was no more than a slap on the rest make up for the

West ,the Mariners a behind baseballs best player Ken Griffey Jr. should withstand a late run by Texas to win the division. In the National League, the Marilins will be the wildcard team. In the American League, Baltimore will be the wildcard team. Atlanta will defeat Cleveland in the World Series in six games. In their personal battles with .400 neither Tony Gwynn nor Larry Walker will reach the mark. Gwynn will hit atround .385 while Walker will fade in September and hit .365.

professor co utFtors paper about harassment cases
W
hen Dr. Tom Guild, UCO professor of general business, decided to write a paper on sexual harassment, he wanted to put more than dry words on a page. Guild said he was trying to go beneath the veneer and see what's really happening in our society with sexual harassment cases. Guild wrote a paper entitled Guild "Sexual Harassment: Stereotypes Complicate Public Policy" and will present it in Toronto, Canada, August 10. Guild, who co-authored the paper on sexual harassment with Dr. Gayle Kearns, assistant professor of occupational and technology education, submitted the paper earlier this year. It was selected for presentation at the 1997 annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP). Guild said he decided to write the paper after seeing that many papers and articles on sexual harassment are mostly the straight forward reporting of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines or case law. Guild said although that's important, he was trying to see what's really happening in our society with the cases and why the judges and courts decide cases the way they do. Guild started looking at some of the decisions and language in court decisions, and said he could see that there were still some strong undercurrents of stereotypes in men and women in many of the decisions. He said until we break down the stereotypes of "what men are supposed to be and how they are supposed to act" and "what women are supposed to be and how they are supposed to act" and "how straight men or gay men
or how straight women or gay women are supposed to act," it's going to be very complicated to have an even-handed administration of sexual harassment law. He said because some judges and juries have preexisting ideas as to how certain people should act, if those people don't act accordingly, they may lose their sexual harassment lawsuit. Guild said it would not be because they didn't have a good lawsuit, but because they didn't live up to some arbitrary stereotypical expectations of the judge or jury. "There is a difference in the court of opinion of cases with similar fact The paper discussing the sexual harassment cases situations," said Guild. investigates what is really happening with the cases and He said you can why the verdicts are decided as they are. (Staff phOto by have very similar fact John Clanton) situations, but with a different judge or different jury or in a different part of (AIDS). the country there will be a completely opposite result. Two different types of sexual harassment currently recognized by the courts are discussed in the paper.

"Only one's supervisor or superior can be liable for a quid pro quo violation," said Guild. This type of harassment generally is present if one requires another to engage in sexual favors in exchange for jobs, promotions, or salary increases, he said. "In a hostile environment case, the plaintiff must show that the conduct is pervasive or severe enough to alter the victim's employment conditions and create an abusive working environment. The harassment must be continuous, concerted and pervasive," said Guild. Guild has given presentations previously for SSSP, including topics on acquired immune deficiency syndrome

Oklahoma students welcomed home By Darrell J. Weidner Staff Writer
•
Tension filled the muggy Monday night air at the Metro Tech Center at the Will Rogers's International Airport in Oklahoma City as the families of 13 Oklahoma students trapped in Cambodia gathered to welcome home United Flight 1712 at 11:40 p.m. "I'm glad they're home because I was worried for my son Lynn," said Linda Tolentino. Lynn Tolentino is a graduate student at the University of Oklahoma. Tolentino and the rest of the group from Focus International found themselves trapped in the middle of Phnom Penh when a coups broke out on July 5. They were evacuated on a Red Cross plane July 9.
When the fighting erupted within five blocks of where the students were staying, the American Consulate moved them to a private walled-in residence, said an Oklahoma Baptist University spokesmen. "I never heard any shots," said OBU senior Nicole Johnson from Duncan."I never felt we were in danger, because I know that God was looking out for us." OU student Justin Lee said he only saw a couple of tanks while in Cambodia, but that was on the trip to the airport. "We don't understand all the cameras and all the attention the press is giving us, all we were doing is teaching English to the Kamir people," said OBU student Monica Goodman of Weatherford. "None of us wanted to leave Cambodia, and if the Lord asked me to go back I would," said Johnson.

Nine UCO students capture images of Oklahoma graveyards By Joanna Hafey Staff Writer Black and white images of Oklahoma cemeteries will appear through the month of July in the International Photography Hall of Fame at the Kirkpatrick Center in Oklahoma City. The photographs, taken by nine UCO students, are the result of last fall's art class Special Projects in Photography. Taught by Dr. Bob Palmer, assistant professor of Visual Art and Design, the class was assigned to take pictures of graveyards all over the state. Each student contributed at least six pictures to the exhibit. "They're not just flat twodimensional photographs," said Palmer, "They're threedimensional photo sculptures." Palmer said the class was given the option of choosing their own photo theme. After considering topics such as Oklahoma Landmarks, State Parks, Water and Small Towns they picked "Gone But Not Forgotten: A Tribute to Oklahoma Graveyards." The photographs were mainly taken of gravestones, said Palmer. However, some of the graves were not stones at all, but hand-carved wood or rocks.
Students whose work will be displayed are: • Virginia Avants • David Hobbs • Yukihiro Ishimaru • Joanne Lykins • Harry Motter (Cain) • Matthew Nevius • Donna Sandager • Brandon Snyder • Deborah Vetter A reception honoring the opening of the exhibit will be held from 6-8 p.m. tonight at the Kirkpatrick Center.

Watermelon concert concludes summer course The 47th annual Watermelon Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. tonight outside Mitchell Hall. Approximately 70 band members will perform including UCO students, high school students, community members and alumni, said Dr. Ron Howell, associate professor of music and band director. The performers will play a variety of music such as light classics, marches, patriotic music and songs from the silver screen, he said. After the concert free watermelon and ice-cream will be served. The concert is the finale performance of a credit course offered in the summer at UCO, he said. If it rains the concert will be moved into Mitchell Hall.
TODAY IN HISTORY(
For the first time in state history, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) has approved blended tuition rates. In May, the State Legislature passed House Bill 1921, which was approved by OSRHE on July 27. The bill raised the limits for tuition and fees at Oklahoma colleges and universities. The blended rate is an average of the 1996-97 tuition rates and the 1997-98 rates that will take effect on Aug. 28, 1997. The blended rate was created to accommodate schools that begin fall classes before the Aug. 28 effective date of HB 1921. Fall classes at UCO begin Aug. 18. The entire effect of the tuition increase will not be felt by UCO students until the spring 1998 semester. Using the blended rate, UCO's per credit hour fees for fall are: $44.72 for lower division,

Columnist opens the coffin on the death of Joe Camel
E
ither we must think our children are really gullible, or we know the upbringing we've provided for them isn't sufficient. Show me a kid who has taken up smoking because he or she wants to be like Joe Camel and I'll show you a kid in dire need of parental support. Wait a minute! Parental support? That means individuals taking responsibility for something. Nope. Can't do that. Instead, we brought in the federal government to fix this problem, and now Joe Camel is dead, not by lung cancer, but choked by bureaucracy. I can't say whether the Camel cigarette company was targeting children with their use of a cartoon camel in their advertising or not. I thought the image was cute, and a lot more appealing than if they had used a real live camel. But, regardless of the appeal, I've never smoked a Camel and I find it hard to believe the image of Joe Camel would be enough to convince someone to
smoke. Do we honestly believe our children want to be as cool as a cartoon camel? I used to watch Underdog when I was a wee lad, but I never wanted to be a superhero dog. My 5 year-old son watches some kind of crime-fighting mice from Mars, but he's never expressed a desire to become a Martian rodent. He wouldn't mind being a dinosour, though. But, well, they're as dead as Joe Camel. The Three Stooges and Bugs Bunny have been blamed for causing children to act violently. I used to watch them every Saturday morning, but I've never poked anyone in the eyes or dropped a safe on anyone's head. I blame my parents for my inability to be influenced by silly cartoon figures and slapstick comedy. I mean, if they hadn't been there to explain to me the difference between right and wrong,
good and bad, safe and dangerous, maybe I could be a part of the classaction suit against the tobacco industry. I could be on the road to riches if my mom and dad had just ignored me. What does it say about our families, the base for our very civilization, when we want to blame our failures on an outside source and then expect the government to provide a solution? Our kids are the most valuable asset we have as a nation. We can't point to them and demand money to pay for the consequences of a smoking habit they may never have if we just teach them the facts. Children aren't stupid. They're more likely to be influenced by the humans around them than by the advertising they see on TV and billboards. I think that instead of calling in the STEVEN SAYS... federal camel killers, we should take a look at our own lives and decide if the As usual, the government isn't the way we're living is the way we want our answer. We are. children to grow up.
Attacks against Edmond women decrease as awareness heightens By Patrice Patterson
Staff Writer
T
he number of reported attacks against women in Edmond has decreased this summer in a combined effort of improved police protection and safety awareness among women. During the summer months, it is common to see a higher rate of physical attacks against women reported, said Chuck Lucas, international self—defense trainer and also a police officer in the Village. However, this summer the trend seems to be changing. Women have apparently been taking better safety measures because there has been no increase in physical attacks in comparison to this past winter, said Sgt. Tom Custer, Edmond Police. One possible reason for the decline could be attributed to the increased number of patrol shifts between 6 p.m.-2 a.m., said Custer. We've increased the number of patrol cars out on the streets because there are usually more service calls during those hours, he said.
People have also become more informed about the dangers of being out alone at night and are taking the necessary precautions, said Custer. Lucas, who teaches private self—defense lessons and also speaks at self defense seminars, said there is power found in numbers and if the "die hards" find it necessary to run at night, they should go as a group. People should also stay in lighted, high traffic areas, avoiding the woodsy areas, said Lucas. "Generally speaking, perpetrators are more likely to attack at night because they are prone to keep later hours," he
Generally speaking, perpetrators are more likely to attack at night because they are prone to keep later hours. Chuck Lucas self-defense trainer and police officer said. Whether running in the coolest morning hours, or late at night, people should always carry pepper spray, the best defense against an attacker, he
said. Pepper spray is in inflammatory spray and if sprayed in the eyes, will cause them to involuntary shut for at least 5-10 seconds, he said

It is better than mace which is simply an irritant to the mucous membrane, said Lucas. Other safety precautions include wearing reflective clothing and to always be alert and prepared for conflict, said Lucas. Wear headphones around your neck so that you can hear approaching traffic, he said. Most importantly, never run into trouble. If you see suspicious people approaching, always cross the street and be aware of escape routes, he said. For more information on Lucas' self—defense classes, call 340-3011.
