Physical plant recovers stolen items

Genesis awards honor shows that respect animals LOS ANGELES (AP) While lawmakers berate t(:,levision for its violent programs and launch legislative missiles, activists take the attract-more-bees-with-honey approach.

They bestow awards.

The Genesis awards honor movies, TV shows, music and articles that respect the well-being of animals.

The ceremony is billed as the "nation's premier 'consciousnessraiser' on animal issues," by nonprofit organizer Ark Trust Inc. Also handing out gold stars is the Washington-based Center for Population Options, a non-profit organization focusing on adolescents.

Mars main clack could be stuck, observers say PASADENA (A P) - En dneers suspected Mars Observer's main clock may be stuck, which could cause the spacecraft to fly right by Mars, rather than orbit it.

If the spaceship were lost, it "would be a great blow to the planetary science community," said Glenn Cunningham, engineer.

Jury convicts former Detroit cops of murder DETROIT (AP)-- Two white former Detroit police officers were convicted of second-degree murder in the beating death last November of black motorist Malice Green.

Larry Nevus, 52, and Walter Budzyn, 42, found guilty by separate juries, could be sentenced to life in prison.

A third former officer, Robert Lessnau, was acquitted of assault charges.

Green's Nov. 5 death had raised tensions in Detroit, which is 75 percent black. However, no testimony indicated that the beating was racially motivated, and lawyers and community activitsts played down the racial element.

Charges are pending in connection with two burglaries at the University of Central Oklahoma's physical plant in which the alleged thieves basically called the police on themselves.

On Aug. 2, 12 pagers, a cellular phone, and miscellaneous electronic items were taken from the physical plant.

On Aug. 9, the physical plant was again burglarized. This time the thieves stole three GE two-way radios, bringing the total value of the stolen property to $3,000.

Later that same night a man started talk-

mg on one of the radios, soliciting buyers for thc stolen property. He apparently thought the radios were regular CB radios, and did not suspect that he was transmitting only on the physical plant's frequency.

Ted Jones, of the UCO police department, was notified, and talked to the man.

"He said he had three radios for sale," Jones said, "and he wanted to sell them for $80 each."

A "buy" was arranged, but fell through at the last minute.

However another radio call came Aug. 10 from the same people. This time the man told "prospective buyers" the price was $120 each.

Another attempt to "buy" one of the ra-

dios was made, this time with success.

UCO police said they give much of the credit for the success of the "sting" operation to Jane Byram, an employee at the physical plant.

"She gave us a lot of assistance," Jones said of Byram. "She called in as if she were on a CB, and kept the suspects busy talking."

"They kept asking me a lot of questions," Byram said of the suspects, "like why I wanted to buy the radios and what kind of vehicle I drove. Finally we agreed to meet." ''See Physical Plant back page

Regents approve three UCO program deletions

By Roy Howe Staff Writer

The State Regents for Higher Education approved three program deletions for the University of Central Oklahoma to be effective this fall at their regular meeting Aug. 13.

These deletions bring the total number of UCO programs to be eliminated this fall by the state regent's guidelines to seven.

The programs being eliminated include: Bachelor of Business Administration with an Office Administration option, Master of Arts in Economics, Bachelor of Science in Education—Safety Education and the program yielding a Bachelor of Science in Education in Industrial Education with a Construction option and an Industrial Technology Education option.

Programs also being deleted include the Master of Education in School Administration with a General option and Master of Arts in Psychology with a Counseling Psychology option and a Personnel and Organization option.

The Master of Education in Community/ Junior College Education was removed also.

Programs similar to those that were deleted are expected to accommodate students in some of these areas.

Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs, said that "our intent is to have a minimal impact on students already enrolled in these programs."

Jacob said that the deleted programs will be "phased out" and that students who are currently enrolled will have one year to finish their requirements in the program to have the degree posted on their transcript.

An additional year will then be granted to shift students to a related program. ''See Regents back page

Cigarette ban blows smoke The use of tobacco products is banned in all buildings of the University of Oklahoma campus beginning with the fall semester. The ban stretches to include 'Wantland Stadium.

This means that students who smoke -- students who pay the same tuition and activity fees as students who do not smoke -- are being unfairly discriminated against by administration officials.

The decision to ban smoking on campus was made by president George Nigh, who is apparently following the trend being set by other universities, citing conclusions handed down by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The report, entitled Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking: Lung Cancer and Other Disorders, states, in part, that "widespread exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in the U.S. presents a serious and substantial public health impact."

The rest of the massive report is a collection of mumbojumbo estimations based loosely on what the EPA terms "the weight of available scientific evidence."

Even if the validity of the report were not contested -- and it is contested by some health officials -- the restricted use of one area in only one building by smokers could hardly be construed as "widespread."

The "weight of available scientific evidence" also suggests that vehicle exhaust emissions present a "serious and substantial public health impact," but no one in administration seems to be overly concerned with that potential health hazard.

Clearly, removing the smoking area from the University Center's Oklahoma Room is little more than the UCO administration's quest for political correctness at the expense of students, faculty and staff who enjoy tobacco.

Smokers will smoke, even if they are not allowed into the buildings their fees go to pay for. They'll huddle together in summer heat, rainstorms, dusty winds, and below-zero winter snows, without benefit of shelter.

They'll get colds, flu viruses, bronchitis and possibly pneumonia (which will probably be attributed to their smoking, rather than being thrown out into the elements), all in the name of health, while political fear and ignorance will be the real culprits.

What do you think about smoking being banned in the University Center's Oklahoma Room?

Belly dancing school allows housewives to blossom

By Heide Brandes Staff Writer In the garage of a small blue trimmed suburban house on 120th street, bodies were moving. The women danced to the strained and serpentine sounds of flutes, mysterious stringed chars and other odd instruments, their arms flowing liquid-like up and down. Their hips pumped gracefully from side to side to the heavy drum beat.

The faces of the women were pensive and calm and as the music changed, so did they. Body parts seemed to move as separate entities from other parts. The dance was softly seductive and dignified.

"It's got an emotional, mental and spiritual quality to it," said a woman who calls herself Saraya.

She is a small woman of indeterminable age who moves with a learned grace. "It puts you in tune with your body."

Saraya is the head of a dance troupe called The Jewels of the Nile and also teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced classes in the exotic art of belly dancing.

The garage Saraya holds her classes in has been converted into a dance studio. Photos of famous belly dancers and Saraya in costume line the wall.

Saraya started dancing at age 40. She enrolled in belly dancing classes at the Oklahoma City West Side YMCA in 1974.

"It turned out to be something I got interested in. It was entirely different than anything I'd ever done," She said. "And the teacher was so funny. She was from New York, had a Brooklyn accent, had been places, done things and seen people that we had only dreamed about. Here we were all housewives, you know, had our mouths open listening to all these wild stories."

Two years later, Saraya's teacher moved away and she took over the role of teacher. The only school she could find was in Dallas and after months of lessons, she returned to Oklahoma City to teach.

"We just didn't want all the blood, sweat and tears to go to waste," she said.

The Jewels of the Nile troupe consists of the advanced belly dancing class and Saraya. The

troupe puts on performances throughout for nursing homes, the Israeli festival, the Festival of the Arts, the State Fair, the Asian festival, the downtown New Years Eve bash and the Enid Country Club's Middle Eastern Dinner.

"Children and the old people are our biggest fans. It's the children who crowd around stage," Saraya said. "The program we present is good family entertainment. We like to think our dancers are sharing. We share."

The women in Saraya's dance classes are mainly age 30 or older, although she has had girls as young as 10. Some are housewives and some are career women.

Each has found something in the dance that she finds fulfilling, Saraya said.

"I prefer that a student come because it's something she does for herself. If she's a mother or a housewife, this is one hour a week that she can come and this is just for her," she said. "It's very good for the self image. I' ve had women come here with very low self esteem and to see them blossom and flower and become a rose is the most rewarding thing."

It is the self esteem that makes another aspect of Saraya's business so successful. Instead of dancing in a troupe, one or two brave women dance "bellygrams." TheJewels present belly grams usually for anniversaries and birthdays. Bachelor parties are out of the question, Saraya said.

One of Saraya's favorite belly grams took place at a birthday party for a 90 year-old man . " He was a lovely gray-hahed

gentleman. He clapped and he laughed and his wife clapped and laughed along with him. She said That was so beautiful and I haven't seen him thathappy in years.' And she was laughing and crying. I just thought this can't be wrong."

The fee for a belly-gram is 540 or $45 if someone besides Saraya performs. In the past, Saraya at a

party where Gene Autry was in attendance and danced in the University of Oklahoma football field surrounded by the players for Coach Jack Bears' birthday.

"I've done so many things for being an Oklahoma housewife," she said. "One of the most exciting things...well, they called me from St. Louis and said there was this rock band or whatever corning and they wanted to provide some entertainment for them before they went on. It was Black Sabbath. They liked us and they liked us so well they said to go in and perform for the warm up band..." Saraya paused dramatically for a moment and continued in a low, confidential voice, " It was Van Halen."

Though belly dancing requires the use of many muscles, Saraya doesn't claim that the art will help in weight loss. However, she said the dance is good for body toning and, most importantly, motivation.

"It's a very good motivation and that's what most people need is to be motivated. I mean, you come in here and look in the mirrors every week and you may not like what you see. When you get to the point when you can dance _20 minutes non-stop, that's exercise. It helps to strengthen your upper body. Of course, if you're going to have a full exercise program, then you need to walk or swim as an adjunct."

At 7:30 p.m., advanced belly dancing students started to arrive.

A tall slender woman named Pam Phillips was one of the six members of the Jewels of the Nile. Her stage name was Karima. She enrolled in the class in 1986 to sur-

prise her husband who was away for several months.

"You don't realize the different muscles that you use and the first few weeks, I was really sore," she said. "It is a lot of fun. You have to be committed to it and practice.

I am naturally a shy person and this has really helped me get over my shyness."

Celeste Raulston is another Jewel. She is a large woman who can move as gracefully as a feather in the wind. She goes by the name Azuree' . Even before class started, she was dancing. As a demonstration, she balanced a sword, laid on it's edge, on her head. She began dancing and not once did the sword fall.

"We use scarves, veils, candles and finger cymbals when we dance," she explained. "It gets in your blood. We meet here every week and we're here for the dance."

A couple more students arrived and their friendship was obvious in the relaxed way they talked and joked with each other. They giggled and teased each other during lessons and, occasionally, Saraya had to scold them. When the music started, they moved with no noticeable effort at all. The scene was even more exotic as women that looked as normal as any other woman who'd be shopping for the week's groceries danced like middle-eastern harem girls.

"It's very earthy. Very primal.

Lots of drums and very airy," Saraya said. "All the art forms, especially dance, don't need a language—they've got a language of their own."

Campus police launches bike patrol

By Joe Umbarger Staff Writer

Bicycles being ridden across a college campus are nothing new, but at the University of Central Oklahoma there's a new twist.

The UCO police department have implemented a bicycle patrol this semester.

Officer Coy Gilbert, of UCO' s police department, attended the Police Mountain Bicycle Training Course in June which is offered by the Council of Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEFT).

Gilbert was trained on riding strategies specific to .patrol duty, including riding on stairs, jumping curbs, negotiating safely through crowds. and even the potential for using the bike as an offensive or defensive weapon.

The program is aimed at increasing public relations as well as deterring crime.

"It's a good PR tool," Gilbert said. "A mountain bike program takes the officer out from behind the metal doors of a cruiser and puts him face to face with the public."

Ted Jones, public information officer at UCO's police department, said that the program would also lower costs to the department.

"While some costs are associated with the start-up of a bicycle program, savings outweigh expenses in the long term," Jones said. "-The bicycle program does not replace police vehicles, but it

does decrease the number of vehicles needed as well as reducing gasoline consumption and vehicle maintenance costs."

Large spaces across campus can he patrolled effectively, and with UCO moving towai-d the goal of no parking lots or drivethru streets on the inner campus, this is seen as an additional ad-

vantage of bicycle patrols.

"Based on the reports we're getting from other schools," Jones said, "the program really works."

At present the UCO police department has only one bicycle, but officials are hoping that additional funding, either from administration or private donations will allow them to purchase more.

Art exhibit features handmade works by students

"Expressions in Felunaking and Papennaking" is the title of an exhibit currently on display at the Donna Nigh Gallery through Sept.

30.

The exhibit features art works created out of hand made felt and paper by University of Central Oklahoma students. The students took part in an enhancement course in the art of feltmaking and papermaking taught by Janet DufferShepard and Pamela Huskey,a UCO graduate, through the UCO art department.

Jo Ann Adams, associate professor of visual art and design and director of the fiber arts program at UCO, said that feltmaking and papermaking have historical importance and are important to our heritage.

"These are lost arts and we wanted a course to revive this."

said Adams.

Adams said felunaking is a technique that is approximately 10,000 years old and came about as a result of the domestication of sheep.

The students whose work appears in the show used the wool of local sheep and dyed it using natural and commercial dyes. Other fibers, such as silk and ramie, were used to create many of the felt collages.

Paper-making was begun in 105 A.D. by Chinese papermaker Ts' ai Lun, and the ancient Egyptians created writing surfaces out of papyrus.

Many of the paper works in the exhibit are embossed, or molded into relief images, displaying the sculptural qualities of paper.

Many pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Works by Jean Wilson and Clinton Burke have already sold. Any pieces that sell will not be released until after the close of the exhibit.

State colleges no longer count physical education courses toward degree

By Steve Sager

Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma, along with all other state colleges and universities, will no longer count physical education activity courses towards bachelor's degree requirements, or towards the minimum 2.0 grade point average required to earn a bachelors degree.

The decision comes as a result of policy changes approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

Changes in the program will be effective for students entering college in fall 1994.

Students currently enrolled in degree programs have the option to continue under requirements outlined in existing college and university catalogs, as long as the requirements are consistent with the Regent's policies and as long

as students make continuous progress toward graduation.

The physical education activity courses that will be affected by the policy changes are self-help, health information, self-improvement, leisure, crafts, recreational and varsity athletics.

Teacher education courses, such as coaching, sports officiating and physiology, will not be affected.

Government simplifies loan process

By Joyce Kirtley

Staff Writer Elegibility requirements and the application process for student loans have been simplified by the federal government, according to Sheila Fugett, director of financial aid for the University of Central Oklahoma.

Fugett said one form is used for the eligibility programs, and no filing fee is required.

"Students applying for a needbased loan have more flexibility than before. The application is

simplified into categories of income, "said Fugett.

In the Federal Needs Analysis Methodology, simplified formulas are used to calculate a student's expected family contribution if the taxable income of an independent student and spouse, or parents of a dependent student was $49,999 or less and no IRS Form 1040 was filed. Also, a student's expected family income is automatically zero if the taxable income of an independent student with dependents other than a spouse, or of the parents of a dependent student , is $12,000 or

less and a Form 1040 was not filed.

"You no longer have to count assets as a part of your income," said Fugett. "You don' t have to count home equity in figuring your eligibility."

Processing time for applications may take up to 60 days. If a student applies late, they will be reimbursed for their expenses if they are approved, Fugett said, but they have to pay on time.

Free federal student aid guides are available in the hall of the Administration Building and in Fugett's office AD 112.

Library expands network, adds computer terminals

By Joe Umbarger

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma library has a jukebox loaded with favorite hits on compact discs — that is, if the student's favorite hits are newspaper and magazine articles.

The CD ROM Network computer has been a part of the UCO library for about a year and a half, but it has been expanded.

"It now includes the National Newspaper Index that covers the last four years of five major U.S. newspapers," said Melissa Cast, librarian.

The five newspapers are: The

Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Christian Science Monitor.

"We've also increased the number of terminals from six to 10," Cast said, adding that it will cut down on the time students must wait to use one of the machines.

There is also Grolier's Corn-. puter Encyclopedia that allows a student to see and hear, for example, Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech.

Cast said other changes in store for the library include an expansion to the north, over the existing parking lot. The addition will be four stories tall.

"The library should never be closed during the construction," said Cast. "They'll build the expansion first, then join the two buildings together."

The expansion will allow for more books and room for students.

"We're still fine-tuning where we want walls, and things like that," Cast said, "but we're going to have more group study rooms available to students, and we're planning to combine the stacks and reference sections on one floor."

Currently, the reference sections occupy two separate floors.

Cast said more copiers are also planned for the library.

"We're just doing things that will make it easier for the students," Cast said.

Most of the expected changes to the library are scheduled over the next year, or possibly two years.

It is expected that access to the library will still be available from Ayers as well as University Drive after the library's completion.

PREREQUISITE: ADRENALINE Drive. Intensity. Those aren't words you're likely to see in many course requirements.

Then again, Army ROTC is unlike any other elective. It's hands-on excitement.

Army ROTC will challenge you mentally and physically through intense leadership training. Training that builds character, confidence and decision-making skills. Again, words other courses seldom use. But they're the credits you need.to succeed in life.

Texas A&M Kingsville picked to repeat, UCO tabbed fourth Bronchos looking to ride last year's success to Lone Star Conference crown From staff and LSC reports

ABILENE, Texas - Texas A&M Kingsville is picked to repeat as football champion of the Lone Star Conference, but coach Ron Harms' team faces a stiff challenge from East Texas State as the six LSC teams prepare for the 1993 season.

The Javelinas grabbed 17 of 24 first place votes in the league's official preseason poll after going undefeated in LSC action last fall and advancing to the NCAA Division II national quarterfinals. East Texas State received the other seven first place votes, and coach Eddie Vowell's Lions trailed A&M 274-246 in points in the poll.

Also, Angelo State was third, Central Oklahoma fourth, Eastern New Mexico fifth and Abilene Christian sixth. The top four teams have been ranked in 1993 preseason national polls for NCAA Division II. The LSC will be playing it's first season without Cameron University since the Aggies discontinued football after the 1992 season. West Texas State has been readmitted to the league, and the Buffaloes will begin official LSC competition by at least the 1995 season.

Here is how the preseason outlook for each LSC team shapes up: I. Texas A&M Kingsville The Javelinas face a challenging schedule and must overcome the loss of several quality players in their bid to repeat.

"We took a big hit' academically," said head coach Ron Harms. "We've got some big holes to fill and we'll have to count on new people to help us out But, we can be pretty good."

A&M gets LSC contenders East Texas State, Angelo State and Eastern New Mexico at home, but the Jays face nationally-ranked Division II members Portland State and Mississippi College, Division IAA members Southwest Texas State and Sam Houston State.

Plus, 1992 NAIA national champ Central State of Ohio is on the schedule.

The Jays lost many would-be returning starters. Running back Martin Patton left school early to join the pro ranks. Last years starting QB Wesley Whiten, who was moved to running back in the spring, was an academic casualty, as was receiver Daryl Owens, who led the LSC in punt returns last season.

A&M is not hurting too bad though. QB Joe Menchaca was a part-time starter last year as a sophomore and the Jays also landed Arkansas transfer Wilson

6. Abilene Christian - Coach Bob S trader inherits a team that has won only five games in the last three seasons, but looks to improve in '93.

One reason for improvement will be the return of Sr. QB Rex Lamberti, the first ACU and LSC QB to throw for 3,000 Texas A&M Kingsville Central Oklahoma yards in one season. Lamberti threw for 3,010 as a sophomore in 1985 and for 2,790 in 1986, then left the squad. He has 5,882 yards and 56 TD passes in just Eastern Abilene Christian 24 college games.

Welcome to the University of Central Oklahoma and another year of change. UCO of the past makes us proud. UCO of the future makes us excited.

As you can already see by our 800+ new parking spaces. UCO is on the move. Our campus will see more and more road graders as the year progresses.

Our master plan calls for $50 million in campus improvements to begin over the next several months. We realize all this construction will mean inconvenience for our crlid-nts. but we hope you will join with us in realizing our dreams. If we are Oklahoma's third largest university — we have to look like it.

Our plans are not for the distant future. We are merely building a campus to catch up with our current enrollment. id, our enrollment keeps gr( 'wing and growing and go) sing.

Though the exterior of our campus may soon appear chaotic, our excellent faculty will be holding a steady course in the classroom. We have added 47 new faculty members to meet the needs of a growing student population.

Our campus project to become totally accessible to students with disabilities is nearing completion. We are going above and beyond the standards set by the Americans With Disabilities Act. Our goal is not to comply — we will settle for nothing less than total accessibility.

As I enter my second year as president of UCO, I feel the enthusiasm of the students, faculty and staff. As we face a year of change, remember: Many hands make light the task. We won't be asking you to pick up a shovel, just lend us your support and enthusiasm. This will truly lighten

Twenty students were selected from more than 200 applications.

Young Democrats campaign for UCO alumnus, travel state

By Steve Sager

Staff Writer The Young Democrats of the University of Central Oklahoma campaigned for a UCO alumnus and attended events across the state this summer.

The group most recently walked door to door and phoned people in Cushing, Yale and Stillwater on behalf of UCO alumnus Dale Wells.

"In areas that UCO Young Democrats worked Wells won by more than 62 percent and of the 300 citizens called, 50 said they were really impressed with the energetic, well informed young people that knocked on their door," said Peter Regan, a member of UCO Young Democrats.

Regan, who was selected as the Oklahoma Young Democrat National Committeeman at the Spring convention in March, said that it has been his goal to recruit a mobile and energetic group of Young Democrats to perform work for the Democratic Party of Oklahoma.

"We understand that we can never, ever, be leaders unless we first learn to follow and be led. In addition to lobbying efforts, in communities across the nation Young Democrats are performing community service, volunteering on campaigns and working on improving their Young Democrats chapters," said Regan.

The Young Democrats recently comprised almost onethird of all volunteers at a fundraiser for Gov. Walters at Harn Homestead.

The group traveled the state this summer with delegations present in Holdenville to hear House Speaker, Glen Johnson speak and also in Tulsa for the Third Annual Flag Day celebration with Lt. Gov. Jack Mildren.

UCO student Tim Faltyn is the Executive Director of Recruitment for the Oklahoma body.

"I am going to work very closely with UCO to make it the strongest chapter," said Faltyn.

For more information, contact contact Faltyn at 748-3108.

With those words, a University of Central Oklahoma graduate was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the U.S. Army August 10.

Jamie Green, who graduated from UCO' s nursing program, and an ROTC cadet, took the oath of office, required by each new commissioned officer, in Thatcher Hall.

The oath was administered by Green' s father, William R. Green, Col. AUS (retired), who received his own commission 39 years ago

this summer.

"I'm very proud of her," Green's father said.

She is the youngest of four daughters, and the only one to pursue a military career.

To qualify for officer's status, Green had to earn her bachelor's degree and complete an intense, six-week advanced camp. She was tested on her ability to function as a head nurse in a hospital setting as well as on military tactics, weapons and leadership.

The camp punctuates four years of training in military science on campus.

"It's been worth the wait," Green said.

Green now plans to attend a paramedic school. Her ultimate goal is to become a flight nurse, such as the ones who work on Medi-flight helicopters.

Rape, assault, and burglary account for much of the crime on the University of Central Oklahoma campus.

To help students, faculty and staff protect themselves and their property, the UCO police department offers the following tips.

To avoid attacks: • Go with someone. There's safety in numbers. Avoid isolated areas.

Try to stay near • streetlights.

• Avoid shortcuts such as alleys and parks.

If you're attacked: • Berealistic about your ability to protect yourself, • An immediate reaction of yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, but it may also lead to further harm.

• Passive resistance, such as vomiting, urinating may be your best defense.

To avoid being burglarized: • Lock your doors every time you leave.

• Make a list of your valuables. Include an exact description and serial numbers.

• Engrave your valuables and/or take a photo of them.

The caller then needs to push and hold the button to talk, and release the button to listen.

Just what does the University of Central Oklahoma police department do for students, faculty and staff?

According to Ted Jones, public information officer for UCO's police department, it' s much more than just issuing citations.

"We're a community-oriented police department," Jones said.

"We're here for the safety of, and to assist, the students, faculty and staff anyway we can."

Among the services provided by the department are motor vehicle assistance and the Operation Safewalk program.

"Safewalk callboxes are in every building on campus," Jones said. "All anyone has to do is push the button to talk to the police dispatcher for any kind of assistance."

Jones also said that if a student needs an escort, one of the Operation Safewalk personnel or a police officer will be provided.

Although the UCO police generally have jurisdiction only on campus, they do have the ability to go outside those confines, and occasionally assist the Edmond Police Department.

The UCO police department also sponsors seminars pertaining to safety, such as how to protect against assaults, thefts and similar crimes.

They also coordinate with the Physical Facilities department on things such as campus lighting.

Jones said that anything people would require of any police department can be provided by UCO's police department.

"We're a full service police department. We'll do just about anything that's asked of us within reason," Jones said, adding, "But we don't deliver pizzas — unless they're going to be eaten here at the station."

COMMUNITY Tinker closure could cripple campus

By Joe Umbarger Staff Writer

Metro transit offers alternative transportation at a discount METRO Transit offers University of Central Oklahoma students, who ride the Edmond Interurban, Rt. 39, a monthly half-fare week.

Students can present their ID card and ride for 25 cents the first week of every month now through December 1993.

The METRO Transit offers other services for the community.

The 1993-94 METRO Transit Guides that list route information for the Oklahoma City, Edmond and Norman service areas and all commuter routes are now available.

All local and commuter routes

and fares are listed in the guide along with an explanation of all the other services METRO Transit provides such as Share-A-Fare, Metro Lift, Carpool and Park 'N' Ride.

The information included in the Transit Guide gives commuters the ability to plan their entire trip, including transfers, at their fingertips. This year's guide is also translated to Spanish and Vietnamese.

Transit Guides can be purchased for 25 cents in August, 50 cents otherwise, at the terminal or by mail, 300 SW 7th Street, Oklahoma City, OK, 73109.

there is a tendency for people who have lost their jobs to simply leave the state, rather than try to become absorbed in other areas of the economy.

While Tinker's ALC escaped the recent volley of base closings recommended by the Base Closure and Realignment Committee, anotherround is scheduled for March 15, 1995.

Gary Pence, a member of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce's economic development department, said no one is sure how much it will affect Tinker.

"We think the 1995 hearings will be more intense," Pence said.

"There'll be more closures in the next round."

Pence said that if the Department of Defense continues to reassess the importance of Tinker's ALC, that would help keep it off the list of possible closures.

"Once you're on the list, staying open is pretty tough," Pence said, noting that very few of the bases on the list escaped closure the last time.

Social Security expands tollfree telephone services People can now call Social Security's toll-free phone number, 1-800-772-1213, after regular hours to request certain Social Security forms and pamphlets and to listen to recorded messages about Social Security programs.

Social Security service representatives are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday said Mary Johnsen, Social Security manager in Oklahoma City.

"Now, to receive some services, you don't need to talk to a service representative, nor do you need to call during business hours," Johnsen said.

Most classrooms are vacant, as are a few administrative offices.

The Oklahoma winds swirl red dust across great expanses of unfinished parking lots, and moan through partially constructed buildings— a part of the university's Master Plan which has become frozen in time. Enrollment is at a record low, and those students who do attend pay exorbitant tuition and fees.

That could be the future of the University of Central Oklahoma should the Air Logistics Center (ALC) at Tinker Air Force Base be closed.

"It's scary," said Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president of Student Services. "It (the closure of Tinker' s ALC) would have a hefty impact upon UCO' s operation."

Ryan said it was difficult to identify a dollar value because of the large network of support ser-

vice areas around the Oklahoma City area, however personnel losses at UCO have been estimated.

"If Tinker were to be shut down," Ryan said, "we would lose 20 to 40 percent of our student body."

Ryan said there would probably also be large cuts in staff and faculty.

"If we don't have students," he said, "there won't be a need for as much faculty and staff."

Dr. Joseph Johnson, assistant professor of economics, said that his research estimates a S601.3 million reduction in services, a S168.7 million reduction in payroll, and the loss of 9,000 jobs in the central Oklahoma area. There were no estimates available specifically for UCO. "Whatever proportion of households and jobs would be lost in central Oklahoma due to the closing of Tinker," Johnson said, "that same proportion would apply to UCO." Johnson said that, in Oklahoma,

How much is enough?

According to a College Board survey, the average cost for one year at a four-year college or university for the 1992-93 academic year was about $6,000 for in-district student attending a public institution and about 515,000 for students attending a private school. This includes tuition, fees, room and board. If college costs increase about 7 percent a year arid your child enrolls in college 10 years from now, you can expect to pay anywhere from $50,000 to $125,000 or more for four years of college education.

Saving Strategies

If your children are still young, you could build a diversified portfolio that includes a combination of high-risk, high-yield investments, such as stocks, as well as sonic fixed-income instruments, such as bonds or certificates of deposit. As you get closer to your child's college years, it's best to avoid high-risk investments and consider short-term, fixedincome instruments that offer you great liquidity. Here are some saving vehicles to consider: • Mutual Funds- Mutual funds enable you to invest in a variety of investment vehicles, such as stocks, options, government or state municipal bonds, and money-market instruments. Because mutual funds offer a broad range of investment options, and risks, you can look for funds that suit your specific college savings needs.

• Series EE U.S. Savings Bonds- Interest on bonds purchased in 1990 or later is free from federal income tax if the proceeds are used for certain educational expenses. To be eligible for the tax exemption, the purchaser of the bonds has to be at least 24 years of age and the proceeds from the sale of the bonds must be used to pay for the qualified higher educational expenses of either the purchaser, his or her spouse or dependents. The tax break phases out for married taxpayers filing jointly who have adjusted gross incomes of between $68,250 and $96,250 in 1993. For single taxpayers and heads of household filers, the phaseout range is $45,500 to $60,500.

• Zero Coupon Bonds-These bonds are useful devices for building a college fund because you can link the maturity of the bonds to the date you will begin paying ocllege tuition bills. merest from zero coupon municpal bods is free from federal Tax. It is generally free from state and city taxes as well. However, there is some degree of risk since municipal bond prices can fluctuate greatly.

U.S. Treasury zeros tend to have less risk, but the interest income is taxable currently, even though the holder does not receive any cash.

• Bank Savings Plans- Many banks are offering special college saving plans. The bank will provide an individualized projection of your college costs and recommend investment strategies based on your child's age and the type of college your child wishes to attend.

MONEY How college students can ( take charge of their finances The Oklahoma Society of CPAs offers the following survival skills for managing money to college students.

Budgeting is the Key to Money Management The first step in taking charge of your finances is to prepare a budget before you begin the semester.

A well-prepared budget can provide a realistic plan for meeting your living expenses at college.

In preparing a budget, identify your total income and total expenses. If you're responsible for paying for tuition, room, and board costs, be sure to set aside enough money for these expenses. Then estimate the amounts you need to cover your day-to-day expenses.

For the average college student living on campus, typical budget categories might include food, transportation costs, school-related expenses, personal expenses,

Column and entertainment. Don't forget to set aside money for trips home to visit family and friends.

Once you've identified all your expenses, it's time to add up your income. Whether your income comes from your parents, your savings, a part-time job, or from grants or student loans, be realistic about the amount of money at your disposal. Now compare your total income with your total expenses. If you're lucky, your income will cover your expenses, or at least come close. If you find that you have more expenses than income, you'll have to make some adjustments. A careful review of your financial situation will help you to identify areas where you can cut expenses or perhaps increase income.

Banking on Your Own If you haven't already done so, now is the time to take on some banking responsibilities. As a general rule, it makes more sense to open an account in your college community rather than in your hometown. Be prepared to shop around for a bank that offers you what you need in terms of convenience and services. Most banks offer similar products, but there can be important differences in

features and in costs.

A checking account is an efficient and safe way to keep and spend money. To maintain your checking account in good standing, record each deposit, check and ATM transaction as soon as you make it. Be careful, too, about writing checks against uncollected funds (deposits you've made that haven't been credited to your account yet). Bank charges for `bounced' checks can be costly anywhere from $10 to $30 each.

On the back of your monthly checking account statement, you'll find a worksheet for reconciling your account. Taking the time to balance your bank statement each month can help aver problems.

Credit Cards for Collegiates A major credit card can be a valuable financial tool for the student who knows how to handle debt. Before applying for a card, compare the amount of interest you will be paying for outstanding balances. This amount can vary significantly from issuer to issuer so you'll want to see which issuer offers the best deal. In addition to looking at rates, compare annual fees, how interest is computed, and fees charged for special circumstances, such as late payments.

But a word of warning—don' t rely on using credit when your cash runs out. You'll only find yourself mired in debt at the end of the school year.

Credit cards are evil How plastic broke my heart

By Tami Watson Editor in Chief

Three things in life are certain—death , taxes and broken hearts. I have been in love before and I have had my heart broken before. B ut no man has broken my tender heart as severely as did a small rectangular piece of plastic.

I learned this lesson the hard way. In fact, I'm still learning the lesson. It began my first year of college when I discovered the sweet, albeit short, courtship of credit cards.

One day I received a letter in the mail. The words promised me material possessions galore and a lifelong relationship. They wooed me with their irresistable invitations of prosperity. All I had to do was fill out the form and mail it back. So, I did. A few weeks later I received a small plastic card which would give me the desires of my heart. It was love at first sight.

My first experience of this nature was with MasterCard.

Ourrelationship was sweet. He gave me everything I wanted—

cash, compact discs and clothing.

We were inseperable—practically attached at the hip.

One dreadful day, however, the money ran out. MasterCard had had enough. He had reached his limit with me and my compulsive spending habits.

The relationship was over.

MasterCard was no longer a friend, and he demanded that I pay back what he had spent on me. Therefore, I quickly began a

Column series of monthly "alimony" payments. I'm still paying.

Suffering a severe case of "rebound," I quickly fell into the open arms of Dillards. Dillards was even better.

He was twice as wealthy as MasterCard, and he bought me nicer things. Dillards' favorite gift was shoes. How I loved being showered with leather! If there was a sale, my companion and I were there, swiftly sweeping up anything in a size 5.

It wasn't long, however, until Dillards turned on me, too.

Dillards, as did MasterCard, demanded that I pay him back. But at least I czot to keep the shoes.

I had similar experiences with Express (lots of cool going-out-to-clubs clothes), Bealls (more shoes) and Texaco (gas and daily meals when I was short on cash) before I realized that these jerks were only using me. That's when I decided that I must be abstinent. I must learn to make it on my own.

Now, three years and nearly S3,000 later, I am fighting to get on with my life. The break up has not been easy. I am trying my best to get over the pain in five minimum monthly payments and I don't think I will ever get over it. Sometime I just cry.

How could I be so stupid!

Certainly it was my parents' responsibility to shelter me from such abuse, such gullibility! Alas, I must suffer the consequences.

I must enjoy this single life for awhile, at least until I can get back on my feet. And then, someday, maybe I'llfind a real man; not whimpy weasels like the ones before.

I'll find someone with power, with clout. I'll find a GOLD CARD!

Bite-size bars brew barrels of fun

By Heide Brandes and Joe Umbarger

Staff Writers

Always right down the road or nestled in between faceless buildings, neighborhood bars are a tradition in every town. They are usually small. dark and smoky and everybody knows your name.

Edmond has its share of neighborhood bars where one can sip on abeer. listen to the house band and relax. Besides the Wolftrap, Edmond's most well-known little bar, several other gems are open to the adventurous bar-fly.

The Downtowner At 2 p.m. on a hot afternoon, the Downtowner Sports Bar is cool, dark and quiet. A jukebox against the wall is filled with country hits and older tunes by Patsy Cline and Glen Miller.

However, as owner Charles Lundy said, the bar "lets its hair down" at night. "(The bar) is like Cheers," said Lundy. "We have a Norm and a Cliff and a professor. If you come here and then come back, soon \A, hen you walk in the door, everyone will turn around and say 'Hi, 1,-; 5' or 'Hi, Steve.' " The Downtowner is a place that appeals to an older crowd, Lundy said but fraternities and sororities have partied there and are welcome.

As long as they behave. The bar has standards.

On the refrigerator is a sign that reads : Please Watch Your Language.

"We have a lot of ladies come in and the majority of the men customers get tired of hearing filthy language," Lundy said. "The bar doesn't adapt to you—you adapt to the bar."

The only people Lundy doesn't want in his bar are those who try to sneak their underage friends in and those who expect free beer.

"You'd be surprised how many will come in here and ask me to give them free beer," Lundy said.

The Downtowner does run specials on certain nights but customers have to come in to know when they are.

Located at 28 W. 1st, the Downtowner is among Edmond's finer places to have a beer.

(The bar) is like Cheers. We have a Norm and a Cliff and a professor. If you come here and then come back, soon when you walk in the door, everyone will turn around and say 'Hi, Bob' or 'Hi, Steve.'

- Charles Lundy, The Downtowner

Watering Hole is going to cater more to its sports fans. Specials will run for Monday night and Saturday afternoon football games. Pool tournaments and dart tournaments are planned as well.

Country music will still be the staple of the bar.

"We're planning to have a DJ in some nights," said Damon Green, bartender. "and he'll play rock if that's what people want. but other than that we're not changing much about the place."

The country band Even Money will continue playing Friday and Saturday nights.

"We're planning to get more of a college crowd," said Mark Hatcher, manager. "We want everyone to feel comfortable."

Travel Inn Tavern Jay and Barbara hold down one corner of the bar. Jay will tell you about the old times and Barbara will tell you dirty jokes.

Most of the patrons at the Travel Inn Tavern (TIT) are in every day

and, as one customer said, have been in for years.

"40 or 50 of us have been here for three years," said customer Steve Clark.

Jay has been a regular since 1966 and has seen 11 different owners come and go. He spoke of how much the bar has changed since the 1950's, hinting at such practices as gambling, bootlegging and even having a cathouse on the top floor.

The TIT is the oldest bar in

Column Edmond having been established in 1928. The building had burned down and rebuilt twice.

In addition to beer, pool and darts, the TIT features an outdoor volleyball court, a basketball court and horseshoes.

The bar offers a Pony Keg night on Mondays. Patrons can drink all the beer they want for 50 cents until the keg is gone.

The Watering Hole, a country and western bar that serves beer and liquor, is changing managers but not changing to a rock bar.

Bill Foutch, bartender, said the TIT is a fun place and usually pretty quiet.

"It only gets loud when everyone gets a few beers in him. Everyone has a good time."

The TIT is located at 1312 E. 2nd.

Track 33 For those who won't go to a bar that doesn't have a couple of electric trains, Track 33, tucked behind Cocina De Mino at 33rd St. and Broadway, is the place.

"It's different," said Vicki Litterell, owner / manager.

Buildings along the model train tracks represent Edmond's various businesses.

The Thursday pool tournaments donate one dollar of the three dol-

lar entry fee to the Shriners to help crippled children.

One of the most unique specials offered by any bar in town is Track 33's Outhouse Special on Tuesdays.

"It starts at 7:30," Litterell said.

"We lock the doors and the customers who are here drink free draft beer until someone has to go to the bathroom or leaves the bar."

Literell said the locking of the bar is mostly symbolic.

"I lock the doors for a couple of minutes to get the special going and then unlock them," she said.

On Friday and Saturday nights, a man known as Baldwin entertains.

"He plays a little bit of everything," Litterell said about the one man band.

A daily buffet is open from 5 to 7 p.m. The free buffet is different everyday with its menu running from chili to smoked salmon.

Besides beer, mixed drinks with names like Pink Caboose and a Derailer are also served.

HEALTH Edmond health centers offer services, advice for students with children

Health center aids suffering students

For some students who are expecting or have a child, finances and adequate health care may be a problem. In addition to immunization shots, proper diet and health care can be expensive.

TheEdmond Child Health Center and the Hope Center, however, offer medical services and nutritional information to patients who fit income guidelines.

One of the services offered by the Edmond Child Health Center, located at 501 S. Coltrane, is the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program.

WIC is a federally funded program that extends supplemental food and nutrition education for women and children up to five years of age.

WIC provides supplemental food vouchers to buy specific foods, counseling and classes about nutrition and referrals to other health facilities. "(Edmond Child Health Center) is easily accessible to college students," said Hitesh BalcshiM.S. RD/LD, the public health nutritionist at the center. "Most don't work full time and even those who do will meet the income guidelines."

To participate in WIC, patients must be pregnant, breast feeding or have recently delivered a baby.

Patients must have a health and nutrition check at the health department and must meet income guidelines.

"A lot of people who wouldn't qualify for food stamps or other programs would qualify for WIC," Bakshi said.

The WIC program is free, Bakshi said.

In addition to food vouchers, the program performs post-natal care.

TheEdmond Child Health Center also offers other services besides WIC. "What we're doing is evaluation and individual counseling, family therapy and free workshops," said Patricia Sneed, assistant clinic director.

The services are provided to

children under 12 and their parents and payment is based on a sliding fee scale and the family's ability to pay.

The phone number for the Edmond Child Health Clinic is 341-6120. For more information about WIC, call 1-800-522-0203.

The Hope Center offers services ranging from pre-natal care to counseling to help with clothing and food.

The Hope Center has two separate facilities— the Hope Center Health Clinic, which offers medical services, and the Hope Center which helps with food,clothing and other needs.

A pre-natal clinic, a pediatric clinic, a family medical clinic, counseling and a speech and hearing screening clinic are available

at the clinic. Child birth classes are included.

"This is available for those with a low-income," said Amy Hann, director of the Hope Center. "For those eligible for Medicaid and those who are not. At this time in a person ' s life, when they are pregnant or have a child, it is so essential that they get the care they need."

Most of the services are free; however, if a patient does have an income they are required to pay a small fee.

To apply for help, clients must call 348-1340 between 9:30 a.m. 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and speak to a counselor to see if they are eligible.

The Hope Center needs volunteers to work, Hann said. Work study through UCO is also available.

For minor medical ailments and testing, the University of Central Oklahoma Student Health Center offers a convenient option to traditional health care, said Susan LaForge, director of the health center.

In addition to minor ailments, the Student Health Center, open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., treats gynecological problems. Students can also receive counseling about contraceptives, STlls and AIDS. "We have a pharmacy. What we have are the basic things. We have five or six different antibiotics," LaForge said.

Local doctors John L. Hackney and Ronald Legako offer services from 12 -12:30 p.m. for a $5 charge.

"If a student wants to be seen (by the doctor) first, he must get here early," LaForge said. "S tudents can call and let us know they are coming. A guaranteed

visit is if they see a nurse first and the nurse tells them to come to see the doctor."

To be treated at the health center, a student must be enrolled in the current semester and must have a validated ID card.

Cash, check or charge are the accepted forms of payment.

"If (a student) wants to file with his insurance, then he must do it himself," LaForge said.

"It is so cheap here, that we can't justify the paperwork."

LaForge attributed the convenience of the health center to its location.

"Students can come on campus," she said. "They don't have to drive off campus and miss classes. They can come in the evening after night classes.

It's nice in that regard."

The health center is located between Murdaugh and West Hall and east of the library.

To set appointments or for more information, call 3412980, Ext. 2317.

Free parking at the University of Central Oklahoma is a thing of the past.

The new parking fees for students, staff and faculty are $15 per semester or $25 per year.

Residents still have the green parking decals, while students, staff and faculty are issued a hanging permit to be placed on the inside rear-view mirror.

In a letter to the students and staff/faculty, Joyce Mounce, vice president for Administration, said the fees will be "pledged toward the construction of new lots and the improved safety and beauty of University grounds."

The Parking Services Office, run

by Bob Caldwell, is located in the Auxiliary Services Office in the University Center.

"It's a good move. It will allow us to be much more thorough in the areas of law enforcement and crime prevention," said UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts.

"We'll have six to eight student staffers and they will issue tickets for violations such as parking in

handicap zones and such," said Rahman."There will be continuous construction, resurfacing and stripping, for example, but as parking lot designations change there will be signs erected to help people know where to go."

"The student staffers are not only ticket givers, but guides to help people find where they are suppose to park," said Caldwell.

There is a $5 per semester or $10- per-year fee for motorcycles.

Motorcycles must park in areas designated for motorcycle parking only.

Temporary parking permits are issued at a cost of $5 per month.

Lost, damaged or stolen parking permits or decals must be reported to the campus police. If reported within 72 hours, there will be a replacement fee of $5.

Anything reported after that will be charged the full replacement fee of $40.

Mounce said that because of several new changes in parking, students should read the revised rules which are given at the time a permit or decal is purchased.

School will implement assessment program

By Steve Sager

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma will implement anew institutional assessment program for the spring semester of 1994.

The program comes after a statewide mandate from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

"Schools are required to start showing results of the assessment process," said Karen Maltby, Director of Institutional Assessment & Academic Support Services.

Maltby said that the plan would not be fully implemented.

And when the plan is implemented it will be aimed at curriculum improvement, it will be ever changing in that there will be things that work and things that do not work.

"None of the assessment is tied to restricting the graduates, it's all tied to curriculum improvement," said Maltby.

Students working for a bachelor's degree will be tested three times. They will be tested upon entry to the university, at mid-level (general education level), at graduation, and then for overall satisfaction with the campus environment.

Students who are already en-

rolled at UCO will only test at the mid-level point. or if they have already completed general education, at the graduation level.

"There's just a wide range of methods that can be used for outcomes assessment and our departments are right now in the process of developing those methods."

Maltby said the regents did not mandate how the assessments had to be done so each department will be able to decide it's own style of assessment.

Maltby said that for entry level students they use predominantly test scores, they use ACT scores for the first cut and if students are below a certain level they will be required to take a computerized placement test.

The placement tests are a series of three short tests in English, math and reading which will help the adviser and the students decide where they should start their studies at UCO. The students will not be forced to take any remedial courses, the tests are only for the purpose of telling the student where they would best be suited to begin.

The program will be funded by charging students Si per credit hour in the form of student fees.

CHANGES Fiber optics winds way into campus communication

By Roger Groce Staff Writer

Imagine attending a class at another university without ever leaving the University of Central Oklahoma. Or punching a console and having a video, live television, CD-ROM, or computer program and graphic spring to life on monitors throughout the room.

Such is the future for UCO because of the fiber optic network currently under design.

Phase one began last year and linked the Math and Computer Science building with Murdaugh Hall, the library, and the Administration building, but phase two was set aside until the Master Plan construction is completed.

Phase two will connect the business complex, Liberal Arts building, and the University Center, said Maithreyi Manoharan, director of the UCO computer center.

"There are other universities in the U.S. that already have these capabilities," Manoharan said.

• • • •

"We want to go a little bit further."

The goal of the fiber optic network is to establish multimedia classrooms in every building that has complete interactive computer/video capabilities, and immediate access to campus resources and other state universities.

Faculty and students will be able to access either DOS or Macintosh based computer programs campus-wide, view live speeches, select and play videos, and more without ever leaving the room.

Manoharan hopes to receive plans for the new buildings soon in order to determine the locations of the communications closets where the fiber optics will feed into the building.

"Then we'll start designing where the fiber optics will go," Manoharan said.

The expense of installing a stateof-the-art fiber optics network at UCO is partially included in the Master Plan. The fiber is not the bulk of the cost, however, but rather the decoders at the end of the fiber, Manoharan said.

New excitement in fiber optic

technology is in recent advances in video transmission, Manoharan said.

"Compression video" is sent via binary-type light pulses down the fiber to a decoder at the end. Because of the versatility of the optical signal, uses range from processing telephone calls and live video, to computer software interfaces.

One drawback of the recent technology, said Manoharan, is the lack of a standard protocol for the fiber optics industry.

Standards common to data processing such as BAUD rate, which defines a unit of signaling speed for telegraphic code, or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), which links the computer processing world together in a mutually recognizable format, has yet to be reached in the fiber optic video transmission market.

Manoharan hopes the Oklahoma Board of Regents will carefully review and select a system most likely to stay compatible with other systems around the nation.

UCO implements new preparation program

By Steve Sager Staff Writer

•

As a result of a statewide mandate set forth by House B ill 2246, a new outcomes-based teacher preparation system must be implemented at the University of Central Oklahoma by Sept. 1, 1995.

The new teacher preparation system will be developed by the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation which is created under the same act.

The present system will then become ineffective, except for students already enrolled in a program prior to Sept. 1. These students will be allowed to continue in the present system until Sept. 1, 1997.

The new system will require no more than 124 semester hours. Systems requiring more than 124 must implement the program without adding any additional hours.

According to H.B. 2246, one of the ways that the outcomesbased system will prepare teachers will be to require teacher candidates to study arts and science at the undergraduate level to encourage excellence in these areas.

Candidates will also be re-

quired to study human development so that they may have a better understanding of human and childhood development.

The program will also require the study and understanding different cultures.

The switch to the outcomesbased system will require a shift from things such as a focus on common inputs (courses, clock hours and defined experiences) to a focus on common outcomes( performances in authentic classroom situations).

A shift from different standards in different programs to high standards in all programs and viewing graduation not as the termination of formal learning but as a defined level of performance on the path from novice to expert are all things that will occur said to Roger Pankratz, from Western Kentucky University.

The switch to the outcomes based system at UCO will be a traditional one, one which tries to incorporate the ideas without altering the structure of the curriculum or the school.

Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education, said that many of the techniques and ideas that OBE will seek to incorporate are already being done at UCO.

Murdaugh Hall is no longer for women only

4

Formerly housing only female students, Murdaugh Hall will be split into a male wing and female wing starting this fall.

Murdaugh East Wing will house upper class male students in intensive study only. Juniors and seniors are allowed and exceptions can be made for some sophomores.

"Intensive study means 24 hours of quiet time," said Carroll Van Duyn, director of resident housing. "Anyone who goes into (Murdaugh) has to sign an agreement concerning quiet times."

The agreement states that the level of noise in the intensive study area will be kept at a minimum

and anyone not living up to the agreement will be required to move within 48 hours at their own expense.

Murdaugh West will house women.

"We've had to accommodate women who are returning from last semester," said Van Duyn.

"But next year, (Murdaugh West) will be upper class intensive study."

Starting in the fall semester, however, certain floors in Murdaugh West will be intensive study areas, said Van Duyn.

For more information on housing, contact the housing office at 341-2980, Ext. 2743.

Campus offers variety of dining opportunities

By Steve Sager Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma offers its students a variety of dining opportunities on campus.

Central Cafeteria, located between East and West halls, is currently where students who use meal tickets must eat. The cafeteria offers students breakfast, from 7:30 to 9:05 a.m., lunch fom 11:30 a.m. to 1:40 p.m. and dinner from 4:50 to 6:35 p.m.

A continental breakfast of cold cereal, pastries, fruit and juice is served between breakfast and lunch. Between lunch and dinner, cold sandwiches, nachos, dessert, salad and drinks are served. During the school year, the cafeteria is open after dinner until 10 p.m. for students to study.

A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services, said he hopes to have a meal program this fall where students can eat anywhere on campus.

Central Express, located between the Central Cafeteria and West Hall, is a convenience store open seven days a week until 10 p.m.

Rahman said that a TCBY yogurt store, which will be in the Central Express, should open this semester.

The University Center offers students eating areas.

The Red Bud Room is a full service restaurant located on the second floor. Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 11 a.m., with an allyou-can-eat buffet from 10:30 a.m. and until 2 p.m. The cost of the buffet is S3.95. There is also a menu which can be ordered from at any time. The room closes at 2 p.m.

The Oklahoma Room, located on the first floor, is a snack bar where breakfast is served from 6:30 to 11 a.m. Hot food can be purchased any time thereafter until 7:30 p.m.

The 89er Cafeteria is located on the second floor across from the U.C. Bookstore. It is a cafeteriastyle restaurant which opens at 9 a.m. A continental breakfast is servedunti110:30 a.m. From 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. a hot food line is open.

Debbie Jackson, assistant director of Food Service at UCO, said that the line usually includes two to three entrees along with five or six different vegetables.

There is also a salad and dessert bar. The cafeteria closes at 2 p.m.
