Memories of war: A historian's point of view

By Susan Reger

Staff Writer "We let Hollywood and politicians establish our realities of war and fail to see the cruelties," the history professor said. "World War II was a necessary war, but not a good war."

Dr. James F. Baker, chairman of the UCO history department, believes watching John Wayne war movies only serves to glamorize our images of war.

The west wall of his office displays a large framed canvas with the famous World War II cartoon characters, "Willie" and "Joe," created by Theo Mauldin, an artist who is one of Baker's heroes.

The cartoons portray soldiers with tired, haunted eyes filled with .

pain or a vacant look as if someone was no longer "home.".

For the combat soldier who fought it and for the 50 million people who died in combat, the war was long, bloody, cruel and stupid, Baker said.

Fifty years ago this month, warweary Americans were joyful about the surrender of the Japanese which occurred after the atomic destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet declaration of war against Japan.

As people look back 50 years, questions about the use of atomic warfare still exist, Baker said.

"At Okinawa, the Japanese inflicted more than 82,000 casualties," Baker said. "Based on those figures and considering that Japan had 10 times as many troops

Students brace for rising cost of college life ■

By Marco Buscaglia

College Press Service Ana Henderson, a Dartmouth College senior, was recently accepted into Harvard Law School but doesn't know if she'll be able to attend.

"I just don't see how I can afford it," said Henderson, who has already taken out $23,000 in loans to finance her undergraduate education. "I'd have to borrow so much more money and put myself in debt for the rest of my life."

As Congress continues to debate cuts to the education budget, many of today's college students are finding themselves in situations similar to Henderson's, searching for options and answers as their educational dollars continue to shrink.

In order to achieve their goal of cutting $10 billion from the Federal Family Education Loan Program, Republican lawmakers have proposed: • Eliminating the in-school interest exemption, which is paid to banks for accrued loan interest while students are in school, for graduate and professional students, saving $3.1 billion over seven years.

• Cutting out the six-month grace period after graduation for all borrowers ($4.1 billion).

• Eliminating the loan interest rate cut scheduled to take place' July 1998 ($1.5 billion).

• Increasing the loan origination fee for students ($1 billion).

• Reducing funding for the Pell Grant program to $5.6 billion ($600 million).

• Eliminating funding for Perkins Loans Capital Contributions ($1.1 billion).

• Cutting out the State Student Incentive Grant program (SSIG), which provides matching funds for state-based financial aid ($441 million, but the total loss to student aid could rise to $882 million if states decline to offer funds).

• Killing numerous scholarships and fellowships, including Early Intervention, National Science and Douglas Teacher scholarships; Harris, Javits and Faculty Development fellowships and various other smaller, specialized programs.

• Eliminating the $10-per-loan payment to each school for processing of direct student loans ($960 million).

vowed to veto measures that would hurt education, many students aren't encouraged by the action they see on Capitol Hill.

"Any cuts to federal financial aid is a cut to the future of the American economy," said Jeannette Galanis, president of the United States Student Association. "You can't expect to improve the living situations for U.S. citizens in the long run when you cut higher education. It doesn't make any sense."

Galanis said that if the Republican plan passes, the 6.7 million students who receive educational loans—nearly half of all current undergraduate and graduate students—will wind up paying thousands of dollars more for their education.

Already, students are feeling the

pinch as federal and state grant dollars have failed to keep pace with the rising cost of tuition— which has risen 48 percent in the last five years, according to the American Council on Education (ACE). As a result, students are juggling classes and work, taking out more loans, and putting off graduate school in order to pay the bills.

A recent report by ACE reveals that 41 percent of students at community colleges are studying part-time, as are 10 percent of the students at four-year public schools and 9 percent of those at private schools. Those numbers are up from 1991, when 19 percent of community college students took classes part - time, compared with 5

Parable of the 9,000 talents and how they were (mis)used

T

he master of a certain university decided he had money to spare in student activities fees, and so he called his three servants to him.

He gave to one 3,000 talents,- to the next 3,000 talents, and to the last he gave 3,000 also, for he was a fair master, or was at least politically correct.

"I give you this in the name of community service and education—go forth and multiply," said the master to his servants.

The three servants got together and decided to pool part of their money to erect a monument in their name.

"Let it sprout water," said one.

"To beautify the area," said another.

"In the name of community service," said the third, offering up a toast.

The first servant then splurged what remained of his talents on a big dinner in appreciation of all who sponsored him.

The second was better at diversifying—spreading her talents around to pay for retreats, leadership days, Christmas parties and election sticks.

The third minion, however, actually took to heart the parting words of his master, and spent a good part of his talents fixing old people's broken stuff.

After a while, the lord of the servants came and settled accounts with them. He was mighty pleased with the first two servants and said, "Well done, good and faithful servants; you have been faithful to use money that's not rightfully yours for your personal gain. Because you have been faithful in small things, I will grant you greater autonomy over student activities fees."

The watchdog of the master, a pesky little thing he regards as the proverbial thorn in his flesh, barks in protest, but the master ignored it.

Turning to the third servant he said, "You nincompoop! Just because I said the talents were for community service and education doesn't mean they are so. As long as the money is used to enhance the campus, what do I care?"

"For to everyone who (mis)uses, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who (mis)uses not, even what he has will be taken away."

Student's death honored by scholarship

By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer

A memorial scholarship fund has been set up for Erik Michael Smith, a student who was to begin schotil at UCO in Fall 1995, but died unexpectedly May 31.

Smith, a 1992 Edmond High School graduate, had planned on becoming a special education major.

Ricks Exploration, Inc. of Oklahoma City is working in

conjunction with the UCO offered to graduate and to carry on their dream," he said.

Foundation to raise $25,000 for the undergraduate students with at least Sandee Smith, Erik's mother

—Art Swanson president of Ricks

fund that will be disbursed in the amount of $500 a semester to one selected student.

Art Swanson, president of Ricks, came up with the idea to set up the scholarship fund to be

a 3.0 grade-point average. and an employee of Rick's "The idea of having a Exploration Inc., said she hopes the scholarship was chosen because it fund will benefit a student with is a positive way to honor Erik," high goals.

Swanson said.

"I'm hoping the scholarship "His memory will help someone fund will raise enough money that

the scholarship will be offered by the Spring 1996 semester," Smith said.

"Ricks made the initial donation of $1,000 to get the fund started," she said.

Smith said the scholarship will be in memory of her son Erik, who loved hunting, fishing and outdoor sports, and had plans to continue his education.

Students can pick up applications for the scholarship in the Foundation Office on campus or call 341-2980, Ext. 2720.

"A positive visual statement," says memorial park's namesake

By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

Funds originally allocated for the fountain at Second Street and University Drive will now be used by student organizations at UCO to beautify the area around it.

In order to give students a nice place to sit and read or have lunch, the Student Government Association (SGA), the President's Leadership Council (PLC) and the Presidents' Club have now decided to use a portion of the $9,000 President George Nigh gave them for community service and education last year to beautify Simmons Park, said Ben Harris, former president of SGA and president of PLC. Simmons Park is named in the memory of the parents of John Wendell Simmons, who with his sister Polly Graham had previously donated money to create it.

Simmons said the park is "a positive visual statement to make the university look good and sell UCO." Initially, SGA, PLC and the Presidents' Club had slated $5,000 of the money allotted by Nigh (from student activities fees) for the construction of the fountain in Simmons Park.

This money was saved when the company that was responsible for setting up the fountain, Davis Pipe and Supply Inc., donated the fountain to UCO. What was not spent of the $9,000 on the fountain was absorbed into each group's general budget.

SGA, with an annual budget of $20,856, used its remaining $1,500 for its annual "big event."

This is a local community service effort in which students volunteer their time to help Edmond residents with projects in their homes.

The Presidents' Club, which receives $3,400 every year, spent its remaining $500 - $1,000 on the sponsor appreciation dinner.

PLC, with $5,020 allotted to

them annually, used its remaining also bought for student elections. for community service, but to $1,500 to balance out costs in its "President Nigh said it (the enhance the campus," said general budget, said Susan funds) doesn't have to all be used Thompson.

TUITION continued from front page percent at both public and private four-year schools.

To cope with rising educational costs, the majority of students are turning to loans as the primary source for their educational funding.

And although the student loan interest subsidy has been spared for current undergraduates, approximately 1.8 million graduate students will find themselves paying more for their education if the subsidy is scrapped.

"The financial impact of any cuts to the interest exemption could be disastrous for graduate students," says Kevin Boyer, director of the National Association of Graduate and Professional Students. "If funding for higher education continues to decrease, graduate schools will end up with only the students who have the most money."

The impacts already are obvious. Fewer seniors are opting for graduate school immediately after graduation, opting for work instead, according to the ACE report. The study states that 84 percent of all graduate students are 25 years old or more. In addition, 65 percent attend school on a parttime basis.

Despite criticism by some who claim the student loan interest exemption gives students an unfair advantage over regular borrowers, Boyer says the original intent of the legislation is to provide student aid.

"The interest exemption is a lot like a grant," he says. "It's the way the government has chosen to support graduate education because the country stands to benefit from the graduates."

And while the impact of the sixmonth grace period from loan repayment after graduation may seem minimal, a hiatus from immediate bills can help buy new graduates some extra time while job hunting.

"It wouldn't have been a disaster but if I had to start repaying my loan right away, it definitely would have meant that I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on finding the career I went to school for," says Robert Snarski, who graduated from the University of Illinois with over $10,000 in outstanding loans in 1991. "I would have had to worry about taking that first source of income so I could pay my bills."

If loan subsidies and the grace period are phased out, the Department of Education estimates that students entering college in the fall of 1996 with plans to earn a bachelor's degree would face a

, , sharp increase in their educational debt. Students borrowing the maximum of $23,000 will pay roughly 23 percent more than today's students, or $339 a month for 10 years, compared with the current monthly payment of $275.

Those continuing on to earn a master's degree will be hit even harder. According to the proposal, those who borrow the $88,000 maximum while in school will owe $167,723 upon graduation, based on a standard 10-year repayment plan of $1,452 per month. In comparison, that same $88,000 debt currently adds up to $128,400, or $1,070 per month.

Only a completed dissertation stands between Anthony Rosati and a Ph.D. in chemistry. But once the Georgetown University student completes his coursework, he faces a colossal debt of $86,000. And while the Philadelphia native had always planned to teach at a small liberal arts college after earning his degree, he realizes that he may never see that dream come to fruition.

"I have to reconsider everything because on a professor's salary, I'd be paying back my loans on my deathbed," Rosati says. "I will probably have to take a job that I really don't want that pays more money just to survive."

Although most students borrow far less than Rosati during the course of their academic lives, his situation is hardly unique.

Department of Education officials estimate that the amount loaned to students is skyrocketing. In fact, of the $183 billion borrowed in the student loan program since its inception in 1966, more than 22 percent of that debt was borrowed in the last two years alone.

While most student borrowers view their loans as an investment in the future, there is the possibility that a student's college career won't end with a degree, considering 42 percent of entering students never graduate. And while student loans can be difficult enough to pay back for graduates, those who leave school early face even tougher odds.

"Students who fail to graduate have a much more difficult time paying off their loans," says Jamie Merisotis, who headed a recent study on the role of universities in student loan repayment for the Institute for Higher Education.

"Schools need to make a direct effort to offer students more options than just loans in terms of financial assistance."

The Next Step, the Institute's report, indicates a higher college drop-out rate for those students

who receive the bulk of their aid in loans, as opposed to those who receive the majority of their financial assistance in grants. The report shows that a $1,000 increase in financial aid in the form of grants to low-income students translates to a 14 percent decrease in dropout rates. Conversely, a $1,000 increase in loan aid means a 3 percent increase in dropout rates.

Merisotis suggests increasing federal and state grants to lower-income and minority students who have shown a vested interest in education throughout their schooling.

"Children who begin preschool in Head Start programs are typical of the type of student you want to look out for," says Merisotis. "They should be counseled and tutored along the way to make sure that they're getting the same opportunities as the other students."

And opportunities are what education is all about, says Dartmouth's Henderson.

"Being born into a family with money shouldn't mean you get a better chance at an education than everyone else," says Henderson. "If that becomes the case, I don't think this is the kind of country I want to live in."

Campus police change their clothes r

By Roy Howe Guest Writer The UCO campus police are turning in their badges—and their old uniforms, too.

The campus police department's 13 state certified officers are switching to a more durable uniform with a cloth badge affixed. The move is expected to save the department money—both in cleaning and replacement costs due to normal wear.

"It's cheaper all the way around," said UCO Police Department Sgt. Ted Jones.

"The new uniforms are a little more quality material and they are cheaper to clean," Jones said, adding, "They also offer the officers more movement."

The cloth badges also offer savings.

"The metal badges cost $75 and are expensive to repair if scratched," Jones said. "The cloth badges cost $1.50 each and are custom-made with UCO-PD on them."

The uniforms cost the department $2,800, and will save it $3,000 in cleaning and damage costs throughout the next three years, Jones said.

The new outfits are all brown, compared to the tan slacks and brown shirts UCO officers previously wore.

"These are basic duty uniforms and a lot of police departments are going to these."

Jones said Edmond police officers and some Oklahoma City officers wear this type of uniform.

He said the switch resulted from suggestions from most of the certified officers.

"Part of the revenue that comes from this fee will pay for seven additional terminals in the Administration Building," said Legere.

Another area of improvement is transcript expansion, he said.

"The transcript has now been expanded to go beyond work completed to include work in progress and coursework registered for but whose classes have not yet started," he said.

"Next April, a student can expect to see on his or her transcript not only all the work taken through Fall 1995 but also the courses currently enrolled in for Spring 1996, even though the semester is not yet over," Legere said.

He said the improvement will be more convenient for students because it allows them to show prospective employers and other institutions not only their past performance but also their present and future status.

Legere said another fee of 70 cents per credit hour, which was implemented started last spring, eliminated the add and drop charges as well as transcript fees.

"The enrollment services fee has eliminated the charge of $3 per transaction for dropping and adding courses and the charge of $3 for an official transcript," Legere said.

"This new fee makes it easier on the student for many reasons: "It allows scholarships to cover costs of mandatory fees when financial aid cannot cover individual drop and add fees.

"It also eliminates the time of standing in line at the finance counter, especially during high volume times to pay processing fees," he said.

Legere said the fees would be collected when tuition is due, making revenue more predictable for college budgeting.

"This way, the fee is more spread out and actually raises a little bit more money," he said.

$ 8.3 million library improvement project under way C onstruction to provide a more advanced library system remains fast-paced since the July 20th groundbreaking ceremony was held on the west side of UCO's Max Chambers Library.

Workers are presently preparing the site for the pouring of the slab to set the foundation of the future addition to the library.

The new 81,340 square-foot building will be erected on the north side of the existing library, bringing the combined floor space to a total of 190,340 square feet, said Carol Barry, UCO assistant director of Public Services.

Approximately $1 million of the $8.3 million project will be spent renovating the original library, in which the lobby will be partially filled to enlarge the second and third floors.

Possible plans also include filling the part of the fourth floor that overlooks the third floor. The remaining $7.3 million will be spent on the new building, joined to the old library by an atrium, to accommodate the projected 20,000 students UCO will have in the near future, said Barry.

"The groundbreaking was a good start for this project," said Barry. "It showed us that we had the support of the students and everyone involved."

The library staff hopes the library will be able to stay open the entire time during the construction, which is expected to be completed by January 1997, but realizes that it may have to shut down for a short time when the campus-wide central heat and air system is installed, said Barry.

"We will do our best to inform the students of any inconveniences ahead of time, so they can prepare for it," said Barry.

UCO President George Nigh expressed his gratitude to students and faculty for their patience with the construction.

"It will become worse in the near future," said Nigh, "but in two years, this campus will become a wonderful $54 million facility for UCO students."

Bronchos to defend title

By Michael P. Patrick Sports Editor After the success of the 1994 season, the UCO volleyball team will be left with one goal—just play.

"Our goal isn't to repeat, it's to win the Lone Star Conference championship," said head coach, Mark Herrin.

At the opening of the 1994 season, the Lone Star Conference poll picked the Bronchos to finish no better than sixth, receiving only one first place vote.

Herrin said he was out to disprove the initial predictions made by the LSC. By the end of the 1994 season his squad compiled a 32-5 record in route to capturing the LSC championship and earning a berth in the NCAA Division II volleyball championships.

As the UCO Lady Bronchos look toward 1995, Herrin said several adjustments had to be made.

"This is a new team with new players," he said. "We're not trying to defend a championship — we're trying to win one."

Herrin said the loss of veteran seniors Carrie Hare and Angie Schoof will be felt.

"We did lose two exceptional players, but we have seniors this year," said Harrin. "I feel that we are more experienced this year than last year."

Herrin said several players will provide a key to the Bronchos success.

"At setter, we have Amy Hansen who is a talented player and our 1995 team captain. We also have seniors, Julie Kelley, Natalie Salmans and Jennifer Daniel to fill in the squad's leadership roles,"

said Harrin.

With the 1995 schedule being described as the most difficult since the 1991 season, the Lady Bronchos will be tested early on, said Harrin.

"This is easily our team's most difficult schedule,"said Harrin.

"We start off by playing the number 3 and 4 teams within the first two weeks."

Herrin said being labeled as the best team in the conference will add to the pressures of a difficult schedule.

"In years past we were the underdog.

"Now every team that comes in here will be playing their game of the season," he said.

The University of Central Oklahoma fall sports calendar is set and the UCO football and volleyball teams are slated to start things off — so catch the excitement this season as UCO sports teams make their run.

VC() to test air in 1995

Coach Parent to miss season For the first time in 17 years, cross-country Head Coach Paul Parent won't be able to prepare his runners for the demands of the season.

Parent, 51, is expected to be hospitalized for up to five days after undergoing quadruple bypass surgery.

In lieu of his absence, former cross country standout and second-year graduate assistant, Brian Callaway will take over the duties as head coach until Parent returns.

Parent said Callaway is more than capable to handle the duties

By Scott Moore Sports Writer

The 1995 Central Oklahoma Bronchos might be moving away from a longstanding tradition this season by leaving the ground and taking to the air.

It is not as dramatic as that because the Bronchos, traditionally a run-oriented team, will still run the ball, but the ball might be in the air more often this season than in seasons past.

The reason?

"We're kind of in an unusual situation right now from the standpoint that we aren't returning a real experienced running back this season," said Broncho Head Coach Gary Howard. "In the past, we've been fortunate to have had an exceptional running back to play for us so we've always had that to rely on.

"We do have good, quality backs but at this point we don't know at what level they're going to reach. They all certainly have big shoes to fill."

It is because of that inexperience at running back that may cause the passing game to move to the forefront. When asked if the inexperience at running back meant that the Bronchos would throw more, Howard said, "I think IMMI II

UCO Athletic Director John Wagnon said his concerns are solely on Parent and his recovery.

"We want him to come back when he's physically ready and not a day sooner," he said.

Parent is expected to resume as a part-time coach in October, though he will not return to the classroom until January.

Tobacco industry information available through the Net Thanks to a recent court ruling

Glantz has been given the green SAN FRANCISCO—If you're doing some research on tobacco use, you might want to check out a University of California–San Francisco site on the Internet that is loaded with more than 8,000 pages of data from the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company.

After a few months of Stanton Glantz legal wrangling, Glantz prevailed.

UCSF professor "I just want people to see the information," said Glantz. "They can make their own decisions."

The Brown & Williamson foe rose considerably last year Williamson—which produces when he unexpectedly received Lucky Strike, Kool, Pall Mall and documents can be found on the more than 8,000 pages of Brown & other cigarettes—knew for the past World Wide Web at Williamson research at his UCSF three decades, including some http://www.library.ucsf.edu/tobacc office.

continued from front page on home islands, Admiral William Leahy calculated 268,345 casualties for the first phase of an American invasion."

With knowledge of the Japanese "kamikaze mentality," the followup offensive pushed American casualty numbers as high as a â&#x20AC;˘ quarter-million, Baker said. This offensive would have been the largest land-sea operation in history.

Baker said in anticipation of total wounded, the Pentagon ordered so many Purple Heart medals that the stock outlasted the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Baker said he believes the Japanese military leaderships' attempt to expand its empire into a fascist totalitarian dictatorship was the beginning of the events that led to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Baker said other options besides the surprise attack were to back off from the unconditional surrender demand, to warn the Japanese of the Americans' new atomic technology or to demonstrate this technology in an unpopulated area of Japan.

"The outcome was so grim, I wish we had tried all options," said Baker, "but it is my professional guess these options would not have worked.

"Let's keep in mind it was the Japanese who lit the fires that led to the deaths of children and (it is) a bizarre piece of logic to blame us."

Stanley Weintraub, author of The Last Great Victory, has studied the facts and figures and concedes that "without the atomic bombs, the slaughter of Americans and Japanese would have far exceeded the casualties in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and that the war would have ended with an Americanoccupied South - Japan and a Communist North Japan."

Although America won the war and evil dictatorships were conquered, Baker said he is bothered that human beings have not learned the sanctity of life.

History has not changed people's desire to be cruel or the human race's desire to butcher itself, Baker said.

Sgt. Donald Haguall, a combat veteran, describes a typical gory scene after a battle: "You know what a direct hit by a shell does to a guy...Sometimes all we have is a leg or a hunk of arm...The ones that stink the worst are the guys who got internal wounds and are dead about three weeks with the blood staying inside and rotting...they

Lesser-known band, more talent such as Veruca Salt, Hole and Babes in Toyland.

The Muffs' second CD, Blonder and Blonder, which was recently released on Reprise Records, is a definite success.

This three-member band could be accurately described as a sweet punk band, because they are not as raw or jaded as punk bands such as Hagfish or Rancid.

In fact, if the bunk band NOFX had a female singer, they would sound like The Muffs.

By John Clanton The only problem with The Staff Writer Muffs is that the chord changes are Sometimes a band comes painfully simple and slightly around that deserves much more predictable.

Normally, this would make a recognition than it has received. boring CD. However, The Muffs The Muffs are that type of a band.

The Muffs have been unfairly make it interesting enough to keep skipped over by MTV and the listeners from getting bored.

As with most punk bands, the hoardes of teenage fans in favor of less talented and less original bands singer/lyricist lacks real singing ability and the songs lack

thoughtful lyrics, which is a plus in punk or fast music.

However, Kim Shattuck, The Muffs' front woman, manages to make her goofy lyrics sound important and fit the music.

Shattuck's gruff voice also sounds good and her screams don't even grate on the listener, unlike some bands (e.g. Courtney Love of Hole).

Blonder and Blonder is a 14track CD that is nearly full to the brim with great songs; even the songs that aren't as good as good as the others are still decent.

Bassist Ronnie Barnett and drummer Roy McDonald provide a solid rhythm section for Shattuck to sing and play guitar over.

Overall, Blonder and Blonder is an excellent CD, full of upbeat and amusing songs, but the predictability of the songs will land The Muffs with four stars.

Feature artists jam for the bat doesn't actually last forever but it seems like it.

The movie Batman forever was OK but the soundtrack is almost a full hour of pitiful groups singing some lackluster selections.

When groups such as Eddi Reader, Seal, Brandy, Sunny Day, Real Estate and Massive Attack with Tracy Horn get together, they make a mediocre band like The Offspring sound wonderful.

There are a few songs on the

By John Clanton album that save it from being Staff Writer unbearable.

The soundtrack to the third The Flaming Lips sing Bad Batman movie Batman Forever, Days, U2 plays a song entitled

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, and The Offspring's Smash it up is on the soundtrack.

Other than these three, the collection of songs is pretty weak.

The problem lies in the fact that during the movie, the only song that really stands out to the audience is the Lips' song.

Anyway, the collection of songs on Batman Forever leaves much to be desired but The Lips', The Offspring and U2 all earn a fraction of a star for a total of two.

An artist for the working class

By Rick Anderson Colic:K.1e Press SArvice Long About That Time Artists: The Delevantes *** All right, so they're from New Jersey—what of it? As it turns out, New Jersey working-class angst doesn't have to come out sounding like Bruce Springsteen. Not only do Bob and Mike Delevante look like genuine Middle-American heartland country rockers (what with Mike's Danelectro and Bob's bowling shirt), they sound like the genuine article, too (what with

Mike's pedal-steel licks and Bob's overpronounced R's). Maybe you think boys from a nice Italian family have no business writing songs with titles like I Wish I Were a Cowboy and Pocketful of Diamonds. If so, I have two words for you: Joe Val. If not, then you'll have no problem with the fact that this album was recorded in Nashville with E Street Band bassist Gary Tallent behind the board, and you'll be prepared for some truly winsome songwriting and singing from a musical team whose sweet harmonies and betterthan-average lyrics will make you feel like you're 20 years old,

unemployed and in love all over again.

At their best, the Delevantes tap into themes that are stereotypical not because they're easy, but because they're timeless: Big Loveis a perfect song, an ode to a perfect marriage embedded in roots-country fusion with just the right boogie inflection. It's a Living is a classic 12-bar blue collar anthem that achieves effortlessly what Huey Lewis never did in all his years of trying. This disc is a perfectly fine debut album from an impressive young, band. Tailormade for outdoor summer parties.

This school year may be the most exciting or the most frustrating one in your higher education effort. (Those who were here last year will ask— "How could it possibly be more frustrating?")

There is no other university in the country that is doing what UCO is doing. We are reinventing the campus with a

$54 million improvement program. The completion date is just two years away. In the meantime, we'll try harder at making it a positive experience.

There is a difference between sight and vision. Instead of seeing the mud and hassle, use vision for a new education building, an additional library building, an enlarged university center, the two business buildings connected, the two communication buildings connected, a lake on our campus, many performing and athletic improvements, and so on and on. And all connected by fiber optics.

It will be tough, but please bear with us. UCO will have a modern campus to go along with our outstanding student body, faculty, and staff.

Weekend classes make college schedules flexible for nontraditional students at UCO

Staff Writer It is possible to earn college credits at UCO on weekends, in evenings and over breaks by taking intersession courses.

These alternative courses are offered at various times and dates.

For example, the college of education offers "Classroom Management—Early Childhood Education" on two Saturdays.

President George Nigh will teach a history course called "Oklahoma: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" two Thursday evenings.

A psychology course called "Case Studies in Family Process"

will meet all day Monday through Friday for one week.

The number of class hours depends on the number of credits being offered, as with regular session classes.

These courses are listed in the UCO class schedule under workshops, institutes and study tours. They are also listed in the UCO Intersession Courses schedule.

Enrollment will continue until the day before classes begin.

Fall intersession courses, many covering popular issues, are filling up fast, said Dr. Linda C. Norton, director of Continuing Education.

Extra sections are not opened for those which are full, because

instructors are teaching on their own time in specific areas of expertise, Norton said.

"Most of these are very special topics that would not ordinarily be offered in the regular semesters," Norton said.

The courses are limited to no more than three credit hours—one and one half per week—because of the amount of work compacted into a brief time frame.

The fee schedule is as follows: Per credit hour residents will pay $49.89 for 1000/2000 level, $50.70 for 3000/4000 level, and $63.54 for 5000 level courses.

Nonresidents will pay $118.64, $126.67 and $152.08 respectively.

Parking Services signals changes in parking lots

S

eparate resident and commuter parking lots will soon be a thing of

the past.

Starting this fall, the resident and commuter lots will be combined into student lots, enabling students to park anywhere except the faculty/ staff parking lots.

Long term changes in the parking lots due to construction are still under review, said A.K. Rahman, director of auxiliary services.

There is no change in the price of parking decals.

Decals cost $15 for one semester, $25 for one year and $5 for a visitor decal that expires every month.

Parking decals are on sale at the parking services desk on the second floor of the University Center.

Free parking is allowed in the parking lot by Wantland Stadium.

Central Park begins life from mud hole in UCO's Thatcher Lake

By Heather M. Canann

Staff Writer New and returning UCO students may be curious about the construction on campus.

Behind the University Center (UC), construction crews have begun digging a pond, which will be centered in Central Park, said Mark Bennett, superintendent for Boldt Construction. A floating fountain will be placed in the center of the pond.

Central Park will also include an amphitheater, picnic tables and barbeque grills for use by students, faculty and staff.

A new walk will be laid from the Liberal Arts Building to the Home Economics Building.

Another walk will be laid from Murdaugh Hall to the UC on the west side of the pond, said Bennett.

Students will not be allowed to drive on the new walks. They will be used for walking or emergency vehicle use only, said Bennett.

Construction of the new UCO Physical Plant is scheduled to be finished around the first of September, said Bennett.

The parking lot around the Communications Building and the Business Building have been torn out to plant grass, said Bennett.

The grass west of the Liberal Arts Building will be torn out to lay a new parking lot for emergency parking. This new parking lot will connect with the parking lots north and south of the Liberal Arts Building.

Other buildings now under construction are the Education Classroom Building, Communications Building, and the library.

During the summer workers started construction on Central Park between the University center and the Communication Building.

LRC offers students a place to study

Counseling assistance available

By Joy McNutt Staff Writer UCO students can brush-up on algebra or chemistry with computer software at UCO's Learning Resource Center.

Also, one-on-one tutors are available to help those having trouble with algebra, said Janet Griffith, UCO coordinator of Academic Support Services.

This is especially helpful for students who have been out of high school awhile, or are changing careers, said Griffith.

The Learning Resource Center offers 47 courses on computer software or video recordings.

Subjects include math, science, reading, English, study and test taking skills and time management skills.

Griffith said she is aware that many students juggle home responsibilities, jobs and children, besides their classes. But, she said time spent in the learning center is an investment in successful classroom performance.

All students pay for the service through their enrollment fees, so there are no extra costs, said Griffith.

Some video courses can be checked out for at-home use, said

T

he UCO Counseling Services provides assistance to students, faculty and staff.

Counseling is offered to individuals, couples and groups for a maximum of 16 sessions per year and is free except for charges on assessment tests, said Jan Chapel, coordinator of Counseling Services.

Outreach programs may be requested in advance for workshops and seminars designed for preventive mental health programs, which are educational, supportive or skill-oriented in approach.

Counseling Services is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located in the University Center, Room 312.

SGA greets UCO students

H

ello, I'd like to welcome everyone to another exciting year here at the University of Central Oklahoma. My name is Jon Jarboe, president of the Student Government Association. Student Government has an exciting agenda planned for the upcoming year.

Our plan is to work hand-in-hand with the student body while helping President Nigh and the Administration accomplish their goals. We plan to be the student's voice when expressing concerns to the administration. We want to assure you that your input is vital

to our successful operation.

With parts of the campus under construction, we want to ask you to be patient. The construction is progressing nicely, but still there is a lot to do. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is bright and a beautiful campus is just around the corner. We should commend President Nigh for his efforts to help revitalize UCO. At this time, as at the beginning of every academic year, we are looking for new senators. Get involved!! Our office is 424J in the University Center. All you will need to do is fill out an application and we'll do the rest. We meet every Monday at 12:40 p.m. in the Senate room (Room 422 in the UC.) All students are welcome, so please come join tic —

Greeks encourage newcomers to participate

By Paisley Krout Staff Writer

All students interested in Greek life at UCO are invited to participate in sorority and fraternity rush, which is currently taking place.

Women interested in rush should pick up an application from the dean of students, Dr. Deanna Land's office on the second floor

of the Lillard Administration Building. Once completed, it is mailed to the Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta and the Sigma Kappa Houses.

"Anyone who is interested should watch for flyers in UCO buildings," said Wendi Dawkins, Delta Zeta president.

For men interested in Greek life, fraternity rush begins August 23 and runs through September 6. Any UCO student can participate.

"Each fraternity has a theme. On the 23rd, 30th and the 6th, each house throws a party. They all start at 8 p.m. and end at 11 p.m.," said Mike Flowers, Interfraternal Council president.

"Students can go from party to party and visit all the houses. They have from the first party until 5 p.m. on Friday, September 8th to choose a house. After that, they become a pledge or an associate of that house," said Flowers.

Technological innovations make UCO's library more useful to students

A safe campus...

By Joy McNutt

Staff Writer

After working hours in the computer lab, finally the project is perfect. Funny how easy it is to lose track of time—already, it is dark.

The car is parked on the opposite side of campus. What now?

At UCO, security is close.

Orange emergency call boxes are located in 14 places campuswide. Call boxes in parking lots are mounted on poles painted with blue and gold stripes.

"When it's dark, look for a blue light," said Lt. Hayes Forbes, UCO Campus Police.

Last year, UCO's Operation Safe Walk received 2,500 calls from call boxes for safety escorts across campus, said Forbes.

Call boxes provide direct access to the campus police.

Also, as with 911 emergency service, police can see which box is activated when they receive the call, said Forbes.

Call boxes can also be used to get help for a medical ',emergency, an accident, car trouble such as a flat tire or a dead battery, or to report a crime or suspicious activity.

To use a call box, press the button and release it. Wait a few seconds for a response from the police dispatcher.

Then, push and hold the button to speak, and release the button to hear.

Campus life offers more than fast food

By Sandi Hinkle

Staff Writer

Many students on campus eat at fast food restaurants with catchy slogans like "Cross the border" or "You need a break today."

But instead of fast food, a student may be interested in a home cooked meal such as the ones that are prepared the two cafeterias located on campus.

One is the 89er cafeteria, which is located at the University Center on the second floor, and the other is Central Cafeteria, which is located across from Murdaugh Hall. Food plans are available for students who wish to eat at these cafeterias.

According to the UCO's housing contract, "there are four different food service plans: 10, 14, or 20 meals per week or the new `Flexentials Plan.' The price of the meal plan is covered in the cost of the housing contracts for all residence halls.

"The new Flexentials Plan is designed to allow students to eat at least five meals per week in the Central Cafeteria, plus enjoy declining balance accounts, which will allow the student to purchase other meals at Central Cafeteria, the Redbud Room, Union Station Express or Central Express."

For students who do not want cafeteria food, other options are available.

Broadway Avenue in Edmond is lined with restaurants and fast food places. Some students' favorite restaurants include: The Outback Steakhouse, Applebees and Pumps.

There are two new restaurants

Oops.

opening on Broadway; they are El Chico and Chilis.

If a student is more interested in something a little easier on the checkbook, Edmond offers many different fast food places from Arby's to Wendy's.

Two convenience stores are available on campus. Union Station Express is located on the second floor of the University Center. The other is Central Express which is located on the west side of Central Cafeteria.

If pizza is your favorite food, have no fear. Edmond offers a variety of pizzarias.

Instead of staying inside and nuking dinner, take advantage of the cafeterias the university offers or go out to one of the many places in Edmond.

Who knows? "Crossing the Border" may be what the stomach is waiting for.

Homecoming: Festivities scheduled for new date in October

By Paisley Krout Staff Writer This year, UCO homecoming is moving from the traditional September date to 7 p.m., October 25.

"President Nigh deserves praise for changing the homecoming date," said Janet Hester, Homecoming Steering Committee chairman.

The date was changed in an effort to encourage more participation from students, alumni and parents.

"It's always very difficult to get the student clubs organized so soon after school begins," said Hester.

"We wanted to give organizations time to collect themselves and get involved," said Hester.

The move to the evening hours is also hoped to produce more participation.

"You think of homecoming being at night, with a little cooler, football weather," said Hester.

The Homecoming Steering Committee has been planning activities for homecoming since March and the theme this year is "Building Dreams for the Future."

"We had a good steering committee this year. They deserve lots of praise. They've been great," said Hester.

In honor of the Federal building bombing, the committee is focusing on saying "thank you" to the emergency services personnel as part of the homecoming

celebration.

"We've invited the mayor of Oklahoma City, (he mayor of Edmond, the American Red Cross, the fireservice, the police service, EMSA, FEMA, Feed the Children, and many other services," said Hester.

"We have floats for all of these people to ride on, but at the moment we're not sure who our grand marshall will be," said Hester.

The emcees for the parade are KXY personalities, Dan and Nate, plus a new category for high school bands is now included in the parade.

Laff Olympics, a week of competitive games and activities sponsored by University Center Activities Board (UCAB), will begin October 9, the week before homecoming.

Students are invited to a bonfire and a pep rally on October 13.

The committee also plans to add a two-or three-day carnival during the homecoming weekend to this year's activities.

Playbooks with deadlines and requirements are available at the Student Activities office in the University Center, Room 424 or at the UCAB office on the third floor of the University Center.

Parade applications are due September 28, in the Student Activities office.

"There are no fees to participate in homecoming, but there are prizes for certain categories," said Hester.

Members of the Homecoming committee are: (1st row) Rulissa Huggins, Janis Hester, Angela McCain,; (2nd row) Carole Crawley, Scott Dittmer, Susan Mason, Sarah 011ar.

Internships and jobs available through UCO

By Joy McNutt

Staff Writer Those interested in career placement interviews or internships in 1995-96, should register with UCO's Placement Office in August.

"We have hundreds of resume referrals," said Dr. Katherine Gage, director UCO Career Development and Placement Services.

Dr. Katherine Gage

To be considered for interviews, applicants need to complete a resume disc and return it to the placement office to be loaded on a central data base, Gage said.

Then,-they need to watch the Career Development & Placement Services interview schedules and internship lists which are posted around campus.

"They still need to let us know

which companies they would be interested in interviewing with," Gage said.

Once notified, the placement office will contact the potential employer at the appropriate time.

About a month before the company representative comes to UCO to interview, the placement office will print a resume from the stored data and mail it to the company, Gage said.

The company will then choose 15 applicants to interview.

Once an applicant is chosen for an interview, the placement office will contact the applicant about a week ahead of the company's arrival to set up a time, Gage said.

The placement office will advise the applicant as to how to prepare for the interview, including providing information about the company.

"It's the kiss of death if they don't know about the company," Gage said.

Applicants are encouraged to invest in a neat personal appearance, and practice answering questions about themselves.

"This preparation gives you confidence for the interview, which makes you more attractive to companies," Gage said.

The placement office is located in Room 312 of the University Center. Call 340-2980, Ext,. 2241 for more information.
