Nigh addresses parking plans for fall in series of meetings By David Hanigar Student Writer Using a laser light to point to a projected map of the university parking areas, Nigh addressed a group of faculty, staff and students on the fall parking plan in a series of meetings held Monday and Tuesday. Eventually over 2,000 parking places will be added to the university. But, until then Nigh asks that everyone cooperate with the parking plans and endure the hardships and inconveniences of the construction across campus. Nigh credits the improvements to the standardizing of the parking fee. "Without charging for parking, there can be no parking as we know it. The gravel would have to remain gravel the grass would have to remain grass, the number of spaces would remain the way they were," Nigh said. Although all the parking construction will not be completed this fall, Nigh said

they made a head count and if everyone parks accordingly, there should be enough parking for everyone this fall. "We are going to leave every parking space that is here now, available for as long as possible,"Nigh said. Nigh asks that motorists find a reasonable parking area, keeping the distance of the lot in relation to the building they will be using most. Everyone is going to have to walk, Nigh said, so by using good judgment and consideration for other motorists, a lot of problems can be avoided. Contracts to purchase or lease additional parking from businesses surrounding the campus are in the works, Nigh said. Many of the businesses have complained in the past of students using the facilities anyway, Nigh said. The agreement would make certain areas of the campus more accessible. Nigh also addressed the parking enforcement. Nigh said that he feels the university has been "lax" with parking enforcement in the past. That's all going to change, he

said, enforcement in the future will be more abundant and less lenient. "So up front, like I would tell anyone else, if you have a parking ticket, pay it. If it says don't park there, don't park there. Regardless of how frustrated you may feel, if it says `no parking', it's no parking. Tow-away zones will mean towaway zones and fire lanes will be fire lanes." Nigh said his strategy is to take everyUCO President George Nigh discusses fall parking plans thing semester by sein front of faculty and staff at a series of meetings. (Photo by mester.

ets at the university in 60 working days. Of the four tickets dismissed, two were thrown out because of written errors by the officers. Aside from failure to display a proper permit, other infractions appealed included incorrect parking such as pull through/back in, parking in faculty/staff areas and parking in an unauthorized lot or a no-parking zone. In two cases the parking officers could see the parking decal laying in the seat or floor of the vehicle and ticketed the person for an improperly located decal. The appeals board was comprised of two students, two UCO faculty and a staff member. "We're in here to decide if the ticket is valid or invalid, not to decide innocence or guilt," said board member Carl Breazeale, UCO professor. Greg Tunnell, parking services manager, said a good start for people to avoid being ticketed is to pay attention to the lot

they are parking in. "They ignore the signs," Tunnell said. "This is from people being in a hurry and ignoring the designated spots." Tunnel] said new signs designating where faculty, commuters, and resident students park will replace the current signs and are "up to 10 times bigger and very visible. "This (bigger signs) should solve this problem of parking in the wrong lots," he said. Tunnell also suggested that people visit the campus in advance to seek out the different parking places available to them. He also said Parking Services is available to assist people in finding the correct lots and to explain why a ticket was given. "If you get a citation and you don't know why, come in and see us," Tunnell said. He also explained that a payment plan can be arranged for citations if needed. Parking Services is located in the University Center and currently employs three

Students, faculty, staff appeal parking tickets By Roy Howe Staff Writer

Students, faculty and staff appealed parking citations last week at the summer's first hearings with a five-member board hearing 55 excuses lasting more than three hours. Even with people returning this summer to new parking lots in new locations, the majority of the tickets appealed were for having no parking permit displayed. After a year of portable decals which hang from rear view mirrors and allow people to transfer parking permits from one vehicle to another, the University of Central Oklahoma will give people an option this fall: an affixed decal or the hanging permit. At the hearings, 23 citations were upheld, four dismissed and 28 probations were granted where the ticket is dismissed if the person cited receives no more parking tick-

The majority of citations, parking without a proper permit displayed, cost $10. Tickets for parking in a no-parking zone cost $15, meter violations run $5, parking in a non-authorized lot cost $15 and illegally parking in a space designated for the handicapped carries a $25 fine. Parking Services officials say they will not void any tickets at their counter and any appeals must be filed with the department within 72 hours of receiving the citation. A bond must then be posted and is set at the amount of the ticket or $15, whichever amount is less. The parking appeals board meets monthly. After 5 p.m., commuter students may park in any space regardless of designation except those reserved for residents, handicap, 24 hour reserved and no- parking zones.

Parking appeals: An unappealing process

uxiliary and Parking Services — many hear these words and shudder. To many, their "miscommunica tion skills" are grossly outstanding. Since the two entities took over the implementation of parking tickets and appeals about two years ago, more complaints than compliments have been heard from the people that pay to financially support these departments - the students themselves. The "revamped" parking services seem to follow the "big stick" attitude of the new supervisors. No one is suggesting that "all violators be put to death," but they are suggesting strict regulations. The "open" lots are patrolled by student employees to enforce the parking services' rules during the major overhaul of the university. Their qualifications for employment are a two-page letter explaining why they want to be a parking monitor, and they must be able to write the numbers 0-9. "They must also read the guides for parking, like you should as a student," said Cathy Hill, Auxiliary/Parking Services clerk. What about tickets for Oklahoma law violatoins like expired inspection decal or expired tag? "They can do that too, and their decision is final. We do not void tickets, either — under no circumstance," said Hill. If their decision is final, then appealing a ticket will not ever result in a dismissal unless there is an error in writing the ticket or recording it on file. If your ticket is upheld in court, there is no higher authority to appeal to if there is a question or problem. Even though the court is not considered an "executive session," the courtroom is closed to the public, and each person with an appeal must sit in front of five board members, the manager of parking services, and Hill; usually without counsel or anyone else in the room. Other people waiting for their appeal to be heard must stand outside of the "courtroom," and are not allowed inside. All of these procedures are questionable in legality and are disturbing to many students, staff and faculty of the university who are appealing for their "fair shot." If courtA are open to the public in our judicial system why is "campus court" closed? It's one thing to be firm, but yet another to be fair—do Auxilliary and Parking Services have something to hide or coffers to fill?

'Live up to the full potential of life'

etters like the one written by Brad Wynn in the last Vista used to make me angry. Angry at the fact that people like him have no idea what it means to be gay or to experience the feelings of it growing up. All he probably sees is a group of low life "sinners" revolting against God, and not the 15year-old who is about to blow his brains out because he has feelings he just knows God hates him for. Angry at what seemed as natural to me at that age as being righthanded called "sin" — when I hadn't even done anything yet. But I'm not angry anymore. I would be gay even if I were to never sleep with someone of any sex my entire lifetime. It's not just about sex. It's about part of who I am as a person, and who my romantic love falls for. There was only one "choice" in the matter. The choice I made that night so long ago was for life. Thirty percent of all teenage suicides have to

do with sexual orientation, and I almost became part of that statistic. I had too much respect for my family, friends and myself to give up over something as silly as that. I also wanted to be free of lying about who I was. The freedom from it also came with a price — I've been harassed, threatened, had things tossed at me from cars, lost very dear friends, and live in constant fear of those very things. Who would choose that? If it were only a sexual/lust thing don't you think I could just get that on the side without anyone knowing about it? But it is so much more than that — and that is just life. I won't go into the religious aspects of his sermon/letter, not because I don't know much about it, but because I have respect for others religious beliefs and expect the same. But keep in mind that 2,000 years ago people thought epilepsy was demonic possession, leprosy was a curse from an angry God, and medicine consisted of

exorcisms and leaches. What one couldn't understand was usually something bad, because it wasn't normal. But today we have explanations for things too numerous to count. DNA is being broken down and brain structures mapped to find reasons why we are who we are, whether hetero, homo, or bi. God, I'm sure, is a very complex deity. To have made so many of us, and to have each of us be completely different from one another is what I call a miracle of life. So why would he make us all the same, to have to live the same life as our neighbor? God gave us all what we have to start with in life and what we do with it, being ourselves to full potential or living behind masks of lies, deceit, and shame, is entirely up to us. Personally, I believe the sin comes in when we go around tearing others down who are trying to live up to the full potential of life that God has given all of us. -Charley Harjo UCO student

'More to be found' in Bible says reader e Vista must be proud to have been the vehicle which has heralded the arrival of Brad Wynn, a man who speaks with Voice and Authority of God Himself. The Prophets of Old have returned and first among them is Brad Wynn. Everything that Brad quoted from the Bible is true. That is to say that in the Bible one may find everything he said was there. There is, however, more to be found. Isaiah, a Prophet who speaks with the Authority of God, describes the Sins of Sodom and Gomorrah as a lack of Social Justice (chapters 1 and 3). Ezekiel says it was a disregard for the poor; certainly an aspect of Social Justice (chapter 16:49-51).

Jeremiah returns to the general specifying immorality (23:14) which may include a host of offenses. Wynn describes what is known as the Yawhist tradition among Biblical scholars which does indeed, identify the sin of Sodom as homosexuality, but I ask Wynn, as he quotes that "the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God," and the Yawhist tradition is man's (the world's) interpretation of language and scripture, does not what the Bible says plainly, without interpretation, as the Word of God, hoist him on his own petard? As to the references to the punishment for homosexuality, obviously the Bible is silent then on homosexuality between women.

Is this permitted under God's law? Finally, on sin and God's Law in general, check Matthew 12:36-37. Again in Matthew, 22:37-40 with emphasis on 39. Luke 6:37 is good. How about Luke 11:46 is your admonition of your brothers in some way helpful to them? Can you aid those who you admit you do not respect? Or, if "all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God," then is anyone worthy of the respect of Mr. Wynn? All of these scriptural references are quotations of Jesus Christ. For this presentation of them, however, I can only claim my own responsibility and authority. I believe my points are clear. -Robert White

LETTERS

Same rights guaranteed to all Americans; student advises: 'just say no to hate'

ell, here we go again with the inevitable knee-jerk reaction to that dreaded word, "homosexual." And as usual, Mr. Wynn included a few carefully chosen verses from the King James Version of his Bible. What he neglects to mention, no doubt to his chagrin, is that though he might search, he will not find even ONE verse where Jesus Christ had anything to say about the subject. This is Jesus we're talking about — the fulfillment of everything that went before him — sent to the world with God's messages for us. Did he just not have time? Or did it just slip his mind? I think not. It was obviously just not the issue that the religious right is trying to make it. When pressed for details, he told his followers that everything could be summed up in two commandments: (1) Love God with your whole heart, soul, and mind; and (2) Love your neighbor as yourself. Period.

That was it. As we look around the world today, we see countries being ripped apart by hatred and oppression. Many of them are holy wars that began over theological differences and snowballed into what they are today. As Americans, we even have our own history of atrocities committed against people who's only "crime" was that they were different. We can tell ourselves that we know better now, but do we? Every time I read a letter like Mr. Wynn's, I have to wonder. Until we learn to not only tolerate, but accept (dare I say embrace?) diversity, we have not learned that lesson yet. The right- wing rhetoric of "special rights" skews the issue. The right to get and keep a job based on merit is not a special right. Equal access to housing is not a special right. Renting a hotel room and being served food in a restaurant are not special rights. The right to have and raise children

without the state seizing them is not a special right. The right to walk down a street and not get attacked because of who you are and whom you love is not a special right. People of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities want the same rights guaranteed to all American citizens. However, without civil rights laws which specifically ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, they can lose their jobs, their homes and their families and be refused service at public accommodations simply because they are different — with no legal recourse. Right-wing zealots who speak of special rights want the very special right to discriminate against those they hate...they want "special righteousness." I urge everyone here at the University of Central Oklahoma to examine their hearts and to just say no to hate. -Donna Roy UCO student

'God was and shall always be the final judge'?

his letter is in response to Mr. Brad Wynn, who argued in the July 14th issue of The Vista that "Homosexuality is a sin." I would like to add Mr. Wynn that judgement is to a sin, as well as lying which you seem to have a talent for. The truth; the Gay Movement does not ask you Mr. Wynn to love them, make homosexuals your friends, nor do they ask you to have pity or compassion for them. What they do ask for and are entitled to under the provisions outlined in the Constitution is freedom. Freedom to associate, assemble, worship and most importantly the right to be who they are without being persecuted by the likes of you. The Constitution is the law of the land, and not the King James Bible. It was written by a group of imperfect individuals who for that brief time dreamed of a perfect society that would seek the common cause of uniting man, not dividing it. Secondly, when you quote one scripture, or one verse — in your case six verses out of a book that contains thousands of verses, it would be easy to find passages that would support your particular view. The Ku Klux Klan for years have quoted passages from the King James Bible to support their beliefs. Jim Jones was a minister,

who was able to find passages that reinforce his teachings. David Koresh, Adolf Hitler, as well as countless others. But when they all were finished, the only thing that was constant was that in the end God was and shall always be the final judge. I may not believe in some aspects of the Gay Rights Movement, but I do honor and respect their rights as citizens of the United States to participate and enjoy all liberties that you and I have Mr. Wynn.

In closing, I would just like you and the rest of the religious fanatics who would like to dictate to the populous rules of life that we should live by with a story that was shared with me by my grandfather.

With the growing interest in the global expansion of Oklahoma, the University of Central Oklahoma is sponsoring a photographic exhibit which will cross the border. The exhibit, "Images of Central Oklahoma," is the work of Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute of State Government at UCO, and Jo Ann Adams, associate professor of visual art and design at UCO. "This is the first cultural exchange that we will have with Puebla, and I think that it is exciting and important," said Adams. Adams said the exhibit will be taken to Puebla and possibly stop over at a Mexican trade show.

Screen scores big in men's restrooms

By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma has a strong music department, and two of its foremost students happen to be married, said Melanie Maltsberger, secretary of the music department. Clint and Noel Williams have been at the UCO music department for the past two years. Noel has completed her undergraduate work in vocal performing, and Clint has completed his undergraduate degree in music education. "Noel and I were married in May of 1992 before we came to UCO," said Clint. Noel is working on a degree in German toward the possibility of living in Austria, said Clint. Clint and Noel will be performing in the Verdi opera "La Traviata" at the "Singing Opera Festival of Oklahoma" August 19 and 21, said Clint. Noel will also sing at the president's dinner this Friday for graduating seniors, said Clint. UCO has given them a positive two years, and the music department has been great, said Clint. Noel said she attended Vanderbilt University in Tennessee for one year as a biomedical engineer major, but

transferred to the University of Tulsa to study music because she missed performing in music. Clint was also involved in the University of Tulsa's music program. Clint and Noel wound up meeting each other and found common interests. Noel said that originally she wanted to be a music theater major, but is now studying opera. "My husband introduced me to opera. I hadn't listened to it at all before college. "Opera is the pinnacle of music theater, it takes so much training and practice," said Noel. Noel recently attended the Wesely Balk Opera/Music Theater Institute in Minneapolis, said Clint. "It was amazing. The atmosphere was so non- competitive," said Noel. Clint is working toward his master's degree in music education. "I want to get my doctorate and teach at the college level," he said. Clint said he used to help coach Noel, but at UCO there is no need to, instead she gets all that she needs from the department. Eventually they hope to move to Europe, because the Europeans are "very enthusiastic" in supporting the arts over there, and the public is generally more receptive, said the Williams.

Steady with the aim, now. Sporting events don't normally take place in the bathroom, but students using the men's bathrooms at the University of Central Oklahoma might find otherwise. In the middle of several urinals at the university, men can find a chance to earn 50 points and rumors have it that some have been chalking up score. Bull's Eye urinal screens, a product distributed by National Chemsearch of Irving, Texas, do more than provide target practice for bladder-conscious people, however. The product, shaped like a red target with silver 10, 25, and bull's-eye 50 point rings, is actually a deodorizer with another purpose. The screen is treated with a chemical that releases a lemon fragrance once it makes contact with urine, said Bert Deems, a sales representative for Chemsearch. It was originally developed for high schools and elementaries to help keep kids focused on what they are doing, said Mike Benton, vice president of marketing for Chemsearch.

Problems occurred with younger students "moving around" while using the bathroom and hitting the metal dividers and walls beside urinals, Benton said. Urine causes the paint to erode. So, when complaints about repainting were overheard, the Bull's Eye urinal screen was born. The screen also protects plumbing by catching objects, such as cigarette butts, that fall in the drain,

Deems said. The Chemsearch screen is no longer unique however, Deems said. Competitors have come out with similar products sporting the bull's-eye design. However, the Bull's Eye urinal screen has been around since the 1970s and is a top-selling product at Chemsearch, Deems said. "It sells mostly to ballparks and stuff like that," Deems said.

Omniplex ride gives feeling of weightlessness By Matt Williamson Staff Writer His feet are strapped in and bolted down by the mechanism. At the waist, a cushioned metal strap is secured around him and locked tight. The red, white and blue rings of the Aerotrim slowly begin to swing as the attendant shoves them free of the 90 degree mark. All 10 feet of the machine moves in different directions. "Lean forward to make the Aerotrim swing backwards," the attendant says as his legs flip above his head. "To make the Aerotrim move forward, lean to the back. You have a couple of minutes, enjoy yourself, but if you get sick bend at the knees and grab the cross bar." After his minutes on the machine he starts to slow and bends his legs at the knees, causing the Aerotrim to rotate madly. "Grab the midbars," the attendant yells at him. Walking away from the gyro-

scope, moving sideways and slow, Willie Hunt, 16, of Edmond tells his friends what it was like. "It's like you've got no control of your body. Almost like a feeling of weightlessness. I felt really dizzy, almost disoriented when I got off," said Hunt. The Aerotrim is only one version of the "human gyroscope" which has been used by NASA for over 30 years. For now, the Aerotrim sits in a darkened corner at the Omniplex Science Museum. Soon the machine will be moved into the center with a railing around it, said Tony Zodrow, director of public relations for the Omniplex. "We had the Aerotrim here at the Omniplex during the Christmas holidays. It was so much fun, and we had so many people asking about it we had to bring it back," said Zodrow. The device allows riders to experience a similar effect as deep sea diving or skydiving by minimizing the results of the Earth's gravity. "This unit cost the Omniplex

$8,000. That may be a little more or less than the other systems it competes with," said Zodrow. "Aerotrim enables you to turn in all possible directions without having to support your weight," said Beth Bussey, education director at the Omniplex. "Riders can use their weight and muscles to move the three spinning axes on the six points of rotation to change the direction and speed of the machine's spin. "Aerotrim has practical applications in the areas of medicine and fitness. It (the Aerotrim ) is often used for physical therapy to improve a patient's sense of balance and equilibrium," said Bussey. Fifteen minutes of activity on the machine is the equivalent of a two-hour aerobic workout, said Zodrow. "I feel like I'm in pretty good shape and it wore me out," said Zodrow. Rides are available in the afternoon from 1 to 6. For more information call the Omniplex at 4245545.

UCO Bloodhounds, OK Blood Institute to sponsor seasonal blood drive July 28 By Jeff Billington Staff Writer Blood is a vital source of life... and on July 28 the seasonal blood drive at the University of Central Oklahoma will be held to attract donors to give life to those in need. The drive, sponsored in part by the UCO Bloodhounds and the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI), will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom. "The Oklahoma Blood Institute needs a lot more blood donated during the summertime, and we try to encourage people to donate during this season," said Kelly Smith, staff sponsor for the Bloodhounds. The OBI has conducted a drive at UCO for almost 17 years, said

everyone's mind this time of year, so we'll need all the help we can get," Smith said. "The summer is an ideal time because the blood supply is typically low and with the lack of donors people don't realize there's a person on the receiving end that doesn't have a choice to give blood and they really need it," said Frank, herself a five-gallon blood donor. More than 90 donations were collected this past spring in the blood drive held by the Bloodhounds. For more information about the drive, call Kelly Smith at 3412980 Ext. 2935, or call the OBI at 297-5565.

Warren S. Graboyes, nick-named "Dr. Touchy - by some patients, says the mental illness cost him his career. His insurance company agrees he shouldn't be practicing dentistry, but disputes his disability claim. Trial testimony began Wednesday in federal court, where Graboyes took the witness stand and admitted molesting between 100 and 200 female patients in his 20 years in practice. His license was revoked by the state Board of Dentistry after his 1991 conviction. He is suing the General American Life Insurance Co. of St. Louis for nearly S1 million on a disability-income insurance policy. During his trial, a psychiatry professor testified Graboyes suffered from frotteurism. defined as recurrent sexual urges and fantasies involving, touching and rubbing against a nonconsenting person.

Archaeologists discovered her small but superbly decorated tomb in the spring as they dug into a mountain of sand in Sakkara, one of ancient Egypt's greatest burial grounds. They were shocked. Her neighbors in death were men. a Who's Who of power brokers from the reign of Pharaoh Teti more than 4,300 years ago. She was the first woman found in the Teti digs with a tomb of her own. Teet's tomb was discovered by an Australian-Egyptian expedition led by Neguib Kanawati of Sydney's Macquarie University and officials of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization, The tomb is dominated by a large, expensive stone tablet covering the back wall. Hewn from the finest white limestone, it is covered with delicately crafted hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs reveal not only her real name but prominently display her nickname --- Teet. Tomb descriptions call her a chantress. a title held by women who danced, sang or shook magical rattles in front of the dead queen's tomb, an important and prestigious job. Religious duties often gave ordinary women a rare avenue to celebrity and wealth. Archaeologists digging in cemeteries around the Giza pyramids have found 50 tombs belonging exclusively to women.

on Omniplexadvisory board By Keena Lucas

•Student Writer The Omniplex Science Museum is beginning a three-year exhibit construction program, and Dr. Michael Hellwege, professor of chemistry at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been selected as one of the eight members of the Scientific Advisory Board. "As a result of our recent capital campaign, Omniplex will add new exhibits in the areas of mathematics, communication, the human body, physics, astronomy and earth sciences," said Marilyn Rippee, executive director of the Omniplex. The Omniplex capital campaign raised over $3 million, of which $750,000 of this will be spent on new exhibits. The money came from donors all over the state, such as corporations, individuals and foundations, Rippee said. The advisory board will serve as consultants for the Omniplex staff in developing the new exhibits and enhancing our current exhibits and educational

offerings, said Rippee. Advisory board members were selected by a group of staff members and officials from the Omniplex. The group sought to honor outstanding achievements and service to the scientific community. Hellwege has served on the UCO faculty since 1966 and has authored numerous publications and papers relating to the study of chemistry. For the past nine years, he has organized workshops that propose to Oklahoma teachers chemical demonstrations that they can use in their classrooms. "Our education staff wanted for us to ask him (Hellwege) because they had worked with him before and have a high regard for him," said Rippee. "Hellwege will be advising on any type of chemistry program or curriculum and expand demonstrations," Rippee said. "These are short-term goals." Hellwege said this is his first time to volunteer his services to the Omniplex, and it will not take time away from his work at UCO.

Baxter signs 11 tennis recruits By Rodd Melton Student Writer

University of Central Oklahoma men's and women's tennis teams will have several new faces next year. UCO tennis coach Francis Baxter has added six players to the men's team and five ladies to the women's squad. For the men's team, the Bronchos signed Melburn Brown, a national junior college doubles champion while at Cowley County Junior College in Ark City, Kan. Baxter said Brown is a great athlete and he expects him to be either the No.1 or No.2 player in the upcoming season. Other signees include freshmen Alan Harris of Berthsam, South Africa, Thomas Park of Tulsa Union, Benjamin McClain of Tequesta, Fla., Charlie McSwain of Ada and Shawnee's Johnathan Woodward. Harris won't join the team until January because he's still

For the Lady Bronchos, Baxter has added five freshmen to go along with the team's lone returnee, junior Kristi McPherson. Signing with the Lady Bronchos are two Oklahoma high school products, Andrea Bailey of Putnam City North and Shelby McGaughey of Lawton Eisenhower. Along with them, Baxter has added Monika Withova and Jana Vnouckova, both of the Czech Republic and Leticia Plasencia of Cuernaracam, Mexico. Baxter said he receives about 40 letters a year from foreign players wanting to come to the United States to play, but he must either see the player play himself or know someone who has seen them play. Baxter added, "some of my best players have come from other countries, including four All-Americans."

UCO math, science students receive $100,000 computer lab By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Students studying math and science at the University of Central Oklahoma have a new $100,000 computer lab in Room 100 of the Math and Computer Science Building (MCS). Special assessment funds for the lab were approved by Dr. Clyde T. Jacob, vice president of academic affairs at UCO, said Monty Roberts, assistant professor of mathematics at UCO. Dr. Vernon R. Ribera, professor emeritus of computing science at UCO, has been preparing the lab during this semester. "They (university officials)

called me out of retirement to get the lab ready for the fall semester," said Ribera. As the lab was set up, attempts were made to choose equipment that would be easy to use for math and science application, said Karen Maltby, director of assessment and academic support at UCO. Ribera said UCO is currently interviewing applicants to find a director for the lab because he is officially retired and cannot continue to work part time when the lab needs a full-time director. "Some schools have the money to build classroom-type labs, unfortunately, UCO does not. But as for the equipment, it is considered `top-of-the-line' for the task," said Maltby. "We are hoping the students

will be able to make use of the lab at all levels, but probably calculus or above will use it at first," said Roberts. The lab is equipped with IBM 486 DX machines running at 33 MHz with 16 MB of random access memory (RAM). The computers are connected to a Compaq network server, said Roberts. "There is no WordPerfect here. Students use the lab for math and science related problems," said Ribera. The lab's 15 computers have mathematical and scientific application software installed on them. Software like Chemprof, Derive, Excel, FORTRAN and Gyroscopic are available for the students, said Ribera.

UCO names new Director of Continuing Education By Jeff Billington Staff Writer As the winds of change blow through the academic world, the University of Central Oklahoma has named a new Director of Continuing Education for the university to stay abreast of the changes.

"We are building a formal continual educational program service to non-traditional students and to serve the community as well," Norton said. "I am deeply committed to enhancing this service for the university." Norton said it is important that UCO has a continuing education role in the community because the

"I didn't think it could happen to me, I didn't really think it was cancer," said University of Central Oklahoma student Kelley Beard, after being told by her doctor that she may have skin cancer. About four years ago, Beard, a junior public relations major, took a trip to the Bahamas. She believes she may have contacted melanoma, a form of skin cancer, in part, from that trip. As a tourist on vacation, Beard felt she had to lie out in the sun and did so for far too long. This resulted in her being badly burned and blistered, especially on her chest. After her skin healed, some months later she noticed that a small freckle had appeared on her chest. "It stayed there for a couple of years and I didn't take much notice of it. I just thought it was a freckle resulting from the sunburn," said Beard. A few months ago, the freckle started to grow rapidly and continued to grow and get larger until it became about the size of a pencil eraser. "It got me concerned as I remembered reading a long time ago that it was a warning sign of cancer," said Beard. Recently, Beard was looking through a magazine that had an article about skin cancer, which contained pictures of a malignant skin tumor that looked a lot like her freckle, and gave warning signs of rapid growth, irregular

shape and colors such as brown and black. "This was exactly what had happened to my freckle," said Beard. Worried and concerned, Beard went to the doctor last week and the doctor confirmed that the freckle had some signs of skin cancer. To be on the safe side, her doctor recomended it be removed. The surgery consisted of removing the suspect lesion along with part of the underlying and surrounding tissue. The tissue was sent to a pathology laboratory for a biopsy and the results came back negative. "I am relieved the waiting is over and thankful for the negative results," Beard said. "I have gone the last two or three years to tanning booths, but I will never do that or lie out in the sun again. My advice to other students is to stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen. It's not worth the worry or the risk," said Beard.
