CENSO Taking words from the mouths of college news presses: 3 Oklahoma school administrations under fire for allegedly squelching first amendment rights By Roy Howe and Julie Dye Staff Writers Who could make Rush Limbaugh shut up? Is there anyone with the ability to silence the New York Times? Like it or not, Playboy can't be censored for its content. These forums of expression illustrate that the American press is afforded certain rights under the First Amendment. But the constitutional rights of three Oklahoma university student publications are in jeopardy, according to a letter by the Oklahoma Professional Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. A The newspapers at East Central State, Panhandle State and Southeastern Oklahoma State universities are named in the letter for what SPJ believes is "...the denial ,,,of legitimate outlets for student expression..." SPJ's letter, addressed to Leonard Wilkins, chairman of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, and dated Aug. 15, was also sent to university presidents, boards of regents and legislators on education committees, seeking an investigation of the matter. Written by SPJ First Amendment Committee Chair Mick Hinton, the letter addresses what the Society believes are "serious infringements" of the student publications' rights. Specifically, SPJ fears these newspapers' editorial content may be subjected to control by college administrations, according to the letter. "We fear that some of these college newspapers appear to be mouthpieces for the administration rather than voices for the students," Hinton told The Vista. "The fact that students and faculty at three separate Oklahoma universities are complaining simultaneously of free speech infringement problems has raised concerns about just how free the student press is in Oklahoma," said Mark Hanebutt, president of the professional SPJ chapter. "If they (administrators) are tempted to inhibit students' expression, they need to keep in mind that it's not only against the legislative and educational policies of

the state, but it's also illegal," said Hanebutt, who is also an instructor of journalism and director of the University of Central Oklahoma student newspaper, The Vista. "Fortunately, we've not had this problem with the present administration at UCO, but we want to make sure it doesn't exist anywhere." Mike Hiestand, attorney with the Student Press Law Center in Washington, D. C., said the Center receives few complaints of this magnitude. "We don't see a whole lot of censorship which is as blatant as what is going on there in Oklahoma," Hiestand said after reading the SPJ letter. "The law is clear. At a college student publication, it is the student editors who are responsible for making all content decisions. "Case after case has been very clear on this," Hiestand said, adding the Supreme Court first ruled in favor of a hands-off student publication in 1969. "Usually, once college officials are made aware of what the law is, they back off," Hiestand said.

Southeastern's Story: Harsh Words For a Beauty Pageant "At Southeastern Oklahoma State University, reporters for the student newspaper, The Southeastern, are regularly discouraged by the Administration from reporting on campus issues," alleges the SPJ in its letter.

...With liberty and free speech for all?

hat is news? News is the information that rampages down this country's "information superhighways" at breakneck speeds into our workplaces, homes, cars — everywhere. It is what's new and different, from sweet little old ladies' quilt sales to Watergate, there are no hard and fast rules exempting anything worth its fifteen minutes (or seconds). While there are no cemented standards determining the limit of sensationalism — or boredom — doled out by news media, isn't it liberating to be able to access any information that tickles the brain? Responsible or not, news organizations grapple with "truth," hopefully with the sensibility to be fair and objective — not to, but for its audience. For any that aren't, the society that the media touches will backlash — checking it and balancing it — knowing that sometimes even facts are a matter to be interpreted (not quelled). Although the constitution and the right to freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion and petition have been challenged in the past, the rights outlined in the first amendment have survived over 200 years, and while some outlets may not have the capability to communicate as openly as they would like to, no force has the propriety to illegally mandate their efforts. It is for this reason that news forums are dubbed "watchdogs," incessantly reminding society that there is an omnipresent hand nudging along the quiet wheels of justice. As a member of the Associated Press, Oklahoma Press Association and the Associated Collegiate Press, The Vista is proud to be on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma, whose administration has supported the paper and acknowledged our newspaper as an independent member of the media, not a campus pet.

`Caution' key word during construction

he long awaited UCO master plan construction is underway. Not only is the university inundated with its construction program but we are now inundated with the 16,000 students and the nearly 2,000 full and part-time staff members that make education happen on the university. So, for the nearly 18,000 family members of UCO who are back on campus, we recommend that the major word for the next few semesters (while this construction is under way) should be CAUTION. CAUTION, when you pull into one of the new University parking lots and drive around looking for a parking space. CAUTION, heads up for other traffic and particularly for pedestrians or other students, faculty and guests who may be walking across the parking lot. CAUTION, keep your speed down. CAUTION, when walking around on the university campus. Particularly if you are trying to go in a north or south direction, in the northern part of the main campus. Major construction is now centered on the east side of the faculty/student housing and the business buildings and then east-west on the street from the business buildings down to the library. The former parking lots between business and communi-

cations, communications and Murdaugh, and the west side of Murdaugh are gone. These are all construction areas. There are pedestrian passage ways between communications and business to cross the construction areas as well as between communications and Murdaugh. (Utilize these pedestrian crossways through the construction areas or go around them on the west by the library or on the east through the parking lot north of liberal arts.) CAUTION. Remain clear of all construction areas; remember staff, faculty, students and guests are not authorized personnel in UCO construction areas. If you see an area that is obviously under construction - "stay out;" walk around it. You can never be sure of what the particular situation is relative to a construction area. There may be a trench through the area that may not have been properly back filled. You could walk on it and then find yourself waist deep in dirt or worse. You may think that it's a time-saving and easy thing to take a shortcut across a construction area, but it could be very costly to you. CAUTION, in or around the construction areas for construction equipment, workers and other traffic. CAUTION, should be exercised when walking across the campus. Stay on designated

sidewalks and pedestrian ways as built and located on the university. Walking across the grassy areas of the university during construction periods could be dangerous and could lead to you stepping into an unmarked hole and sustaining injury. There have been a number of locations on the university where signs have been pulled out, and unfortunately, not all of the locations had the holes back filled; with grass growing around the holes you could put your foot into a hole that looks like solid ground. To be sure of your footings, stay on designated pedestrian ways. CAUTION, use UCO's basic safety rules, cross only at pedestrian crossings and crosswalks, be careful walking through the parking lots, be observant for construction equipment, stay on designated walk ways, watch your speed and help watch out for each other. By following the above you can have a safe and healthy semester and one that is injury free. Enjoy your semester and your time at UCO but remember "heads up,” use common sense and CAUTION. It will be much more enjoyable to have an injury-free semester. Don M. Powers

UCAB lures students with barbecue, entertainment By Mike Erwin

The University Center Activities Board (UCAB) kicked off the school year by welcoming students with a barbecue Aug. 23. The event had two purposes, said Missy Hunter, university center activities director at the University of Central Oklahoma. "Entertainment was our main purpose and our secondary goal was to use it as a recruiting tool for UCAB," said Hunter. UCAB is comprised of students who work to present cultural, social and recreational programs for UCO. More than 50 people attended the barbecue, the majority of whom were from the resident

Future UCAB events include the Laff Olympics, a homecoming bonfire and pep rally, the Homerun 5K run, the Scoot-aBoot and the Hanging of the Green.

"Everyone had a good time, but we didn't sign up any new members. "We had lots of interest expressed in what we do so I expect some students to start joining soon," Hunter said. Last year, UCAB had about 20 members, but Hunter said she hopes for an increase in members this year.

Funeral Services offers unique education at UCO By Matt Williamson

Staff Writer UCO started a Funeral Services program in 1964, at the time the only one in the world to offer a BS in the subject. Only two other universities in the United States offer the degree. Now the department lists 138 students as declared funeral services majors, with a full third of those out-ofstate students. Dr. Kenneth Curl, chairperson of funeral services, is proud of the program. "The building (Coyner Health Science) was built for 70 students. Now we've Grown to twice that." said Curl. The Coyner Health Science building was built specifically for the nursing and funeral services department. It incorporates units for the storage of medical cadavers, labs and classrooms. "The embalming procedure is done at surrounding area funeral homes. Just as the nursing students do their medical clinics at area hospitals," said Curl. Sigma Phi Sigma, the funeral services student organization, is planning a 'back to school' pizza lunch for Sept. 7 at 11:30 in room 152 of the Coyner Health Science building.

Max Chambers Library offers study alternatives Sheila Nunnelee Staff Writer

Having trouble studying at home? Need a quiet place, equipped with computers, and thousands of sources on every topic imaginable? The Max Chambers Library offers a variety of services for students such as open workshops to go over the Broncho catalog and other computer systems, library instruction classes, study areas and many different sources of information. "After three or four weeks... we will hold workshops to learn about how to use the Broncho catalog and other computer systems," said Melissa Cast, bibliographic instruction librarian. "The dates of the workshops will be posted around campus and in the library, "Cast said. Library instruction classes can be scheduled by professors for their class to show the different ways to access information needed, and how to utilize the other benefits of the library, Cast said. Computer terminals located on the first floor give access to the CD-ROM network that allows the student to access indexes to periodicals. Other Broncho terminals are for on-line catalogs which are for books, said Larry Johnson, reference librarian. Study rooms are available on the fourth floor and reservations for these rooms can be made through the office on that same floor, Cast said. The library has catalogs for the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, Tulsa City County Public Library and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. The library offers a program called interlibrary loan for when

students are unable to find a certain source that they need, but know of a library that has that source. The library is able to contact the other library with the information needed and receive it by mail, said Cast. Cast said that any student unfa-

miliar with the library can avoid frustration and confusion by asking for help at the front reference desk or ask any of the other workers. Expansion of the library is scheduled to begin in February, said Nick Wagner, executive assistant to the

vice president for special projects. The plans for the new library are to build another building next to the library, move into the new building and completely renovate the old building, said Wagner. The two buildings will be attached by a glass atrium and will

have a grand staircase, said Wagner. The renovated library will have more computer labs, working space for staff, training areas and research areas, said Wagner. Estimates show that the new building may take one year to complete and 8-10 months to renovate the existing building.

Student Editor for The Southeastern, Latisha Williams, said enrollment numbers and public funding figures have been hard to get. "Administrators don't want to answer questions; we play a lot of telephone tag and have trouble getting information," Williams said. She said when former faculty adviser Harland Stensaas went out on a limb for them. administrators got out the ax. The SPJ letter states Stensaas' contract was not renewed for the 1994-95 year after an incident this spring concerning a Miss Southeastern Beauty Pageant about which a student wrote a critical column. Williams said the organizer of the pageant, the SEOSU football coach's wife, Jana Sloan, made mistakes in procedure, and tried to exclude four girls from the contest. But Sloan said the oversight was caused by the four contestants' failure to return contest material by the March deadline. That failure prevented their pictures from being printed in the paper, but did not bar them from the pageant, Sloan said. "All the girls got their names in the paper and got to participate in the pageant," Sloan said. "There was no hostility or scandal, but the paper made one." Williams said when a column, which "used harsh words, but was fair," came out against Sloan in The Southeastern, the newspaper received several letters from administration calling the column slanderous. She said Coach Morris Sloan sent a "nasty" personal note to the columnist. "The letter was not angry and not slanderous," Sloan said. "It was professional and done in good taste." Sloan's letter rebutted the column, which he said called his wife uncompassionate, controlling and "a bitch." The SPJ letter said Coach Sloan told Stensaas "they (the administration) might not keep him (Stensaas) around." "That's a bold-faced lie," the coach said. "The only thing I talked to Stensaas about was that the football team had three All-American players and there was only an inch-long article about it. I did ask him if he read the paper before it came out, and he said `no'" Williams said according to State Regent policy, Stensaas' contract non-renewal needs no explanation. Sloan said the entire affair stems from miscommunication. "I really don't think Stensaas got released because of the pageant," she said. "The timing was bad. I think students thought this was the reason." Stensaas couldn't be reached for comment. SEOSU President Larry

the SPJ's accusations in writing.

East Central State University: "Shades of Gray" At East Central State University, students have no control over the editorial content of the college's official newspaper, the East Central Journal," alleges the SRI. Their letter also said the institution's administration orders certain university press releases to be in the newspaper. In addition, (the administration) has told journalism Instructor Mary Bishop that the college newspaper must not report on certain matters and does not need stories written by students," states the letter. Bill Cole, ECU president, said, "I've been president of East Central University for five years, and in that time, I have never issued a directive to The Journal regarding the use of press releases." But, Bishop said, the paper is advised by the Director of Public Information, Rebecca Kennedy. "The situation is not her fault. She's answerable directly to the administration," Bishop said. "But, what happens is, the paper ends up being a public information tool for the university," Bishop said. "The journalism students have little opportunity to get published, and the student editor gets no decisionmaking training." However, Kennedy said she has been the advisor for The Journal for four years, and has "never been ordered to put in a press release or to take one out." She said press releases are used, but usually rewritten by staffers, who she said are all students. "I am a member of the administrative staff and the Journal advisor," Kennedy said. "All Journal employees are students. No one tells me what to do with the paper, and the student editor decides what the stories and editorials will be." But, Bishop said only one member of The Journal's staff is a journalism major. Because students felt their work wasn't being used, Bishop said, she began an independent student paper, Shades of Gray in the spring of this year, but was ordered to stop. She said she was told this publication was a violation of state law, as the three students who produced the paper used college equipment. "Publication has ceased, and so has any opportunity for East Central journalism students to receive essential training...," the SPJ letter noted. Bishop said she just wants her students to be afforded 1/See CENSORED, Page 13

National AIDS conference launches attempt to develop one hour credit seminar at UCO By Julie Dye Staff Writer Attendance at a conference about HIV and AIDS prevention may have spawned a new course for education majors and a plan of action for apeer education program on campus. Four University of Central Oklahoma employees and a graduate student joined representatives from 35 colleges and universities in five states for the conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. titled, "HIV Prevention for Youth: Progress Through Collaboration." Sponsored by Western College Health (WCH) 2000, the institute was designed to increase understanding about the virus, introduce prevention techniques for college students and offer opportunities for program planning to campus leaders. Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education, said the conference provided more than just facts about HIV. He and Dr. Judith Cole, assistant dean of the College of Education, collected materials shared by other schools who

2 Bronchos busted on drug charge

Pena airs it out in scrimmage By Jimmy Hyde

Sports Writer

By Rachel Schnitzer

Sports Writer A Broncho defender makes a stop on a UCO ball-carrier Two University of Central Oklahoma freshman football players were arrested early Thursday morning on a possession of marijuana charge. Hodrick Steele, 18, and Reginald Moore, 18, were arrested along with two other UCO students at the 2500 block of South Rankin after police noticed the four men in a car along-side the road. Steele, a former Edmond Memorial High School standout and reserve tailback with the Bronchos and Moore were released after their arraignment. Head Coach Gary Howard said he will not take any action towards the athletes until he knows all the circumstances. "I don't know exactly what we'll do, but the athletic department has policies to deal with things of this nature," said Howard. Neither Steele nor Moore, a reserve linebacker, were expected to start for the Bronchos in their Sept. 3 season opener against Mesa State. Also arrested were Justin Eric Blount, 19, Edmond and Michael David Harris, 19, of Uniondale, N.Y. Harris, who told police that he

The University of Central Oklahoma football team held their last intrasquad scrimmage Wedneday before kicking off the '94 season at home against Mesa State Sept. 3 Starting quarterback Stanley Pena, a redshirt sophomore from El Paso, Texas, looked impressive as he completed 11 of 15 passes for 211 yards. "I though Stanely and our receivers did well," said Head Coach Gary Howard. "Our goal was to try and pass more today." Pena completed no touchdown passes but he completed passes of 46 and 47 yards to junior split end Tony Bryson. Pena also cornpleted a 35-yard toss to senior tight end Lewis Griffen. The Broncho defense stifled the UCO ground attack, holding senior starting tailback Joe Aska to just eight yards on six carries. "Defensively, this was probably our best scrimmage," said Howard.

Depth a concern for UCO defense By Scott Moore

Sports Editor Going into the 1994 football season University of Central Oklahoma coaches knew a problem was facing its defense, the problem of depth, or the lack of it. The '94 Bronchos returned 11 starters and 29 letterman from last year's 7-3 squad but most of that experience can be found on the offense as the defense returns five starters and just nine of those 29 letterman. UCO's defense will be led by returning starters Phil Sexton (60, 240, sophomore) at defensive end, Brian On (6-2, 220, senior) and Eric Brinkely (6-2, 240, senior) at Linebacker, and Richard Norman (6-0, 195, sophomore) and Elton Rhoades (6-2, 195, senior) in the secondary. The greatest concern is at the tackle posistion where this no marquee player returning and a lack of experience. "Our upfront guys are making a lot of progress," said defensive coordinator Duane Dirk. "They're not exactly where we want them to be but the competition is so close right now that I think that is helping the players improve because they know that the jobs are still open." In the race are sophomores Dan Samara(6-0, 258), Travis Hildenbrand(6-2, 250) and Chris Prestegard(6-4, 280) who was an offensive lineman last season, and junior Jay O'Neal (6-2,

290). All four should see playing time. "Even if I had a starting unit, all four would play," said Dirk. There is no competition at the ends however as senior Troy Chitsey (6-3, 225) and returning starter Sexton are slated to start. "Chitsey and Sexton are the strong point of the defensive line," said Dirk. "They're experienced veterans and they know what we want, what we expect." Depth is a concern here as two freshman and one sophomore will provide backup. The same holds true for the secondary as four freshman will backup starters Larry Nunn (6-0, 190, sophomore), senior John McGuire (6-2, 190) and returning starters Norman and Rhoades. The Bronchos are the most solid at linebacker, however, as first time starter junior Blaine starts (5-11, 234) along with returning starters Orr and Brinkely provide what should be a strong crew of linebackers. Again, youth will provide backup support (two freshmen and one sophomore)but Dirk says the reserves are solid. "We're probably strongest at linebacker," said Dirk. "We have three starters and three quality backups. Everywhere else we could probably afford to get one end hurt or one tackle hurt and still be solid. In the secondary, we could probably afford one or two injuries. But if we get more than one or two hurt at any of those posistions then we could be in trouble."

Training Olympic athletes valuable experience for UCO's Mckibbin By Jimmy Hyde

Sports Writer "The Olympics are the elite athletes you can 'work with without getting into the professional ranks," said Jeff McKibbin, assistant athletic director/head trainer at the University of Central Oklahoma. McKibbin served as a volunteer intern trainer this summer at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. McKibbin applied for the internship in March of 1991, but did not hear back until Feb. of this year. "Basically, when you step in the door, they give you a quick orientation and then they send you out with a team and you start working," said McKibbin. "When you get there you don't know what sport you're working," said Mckibbin. Upon arrival, McKibben worked with a women's track and field camp. Anyone associated with the United States Olympic Committee train in Colorado Springs or at the other training facility at Lake Placid, NY. The main group of athletes he worked with were the roller speed skaters. He also worked with the wheelchair basketball team and the cycling team.

UCO head trainer Jeff McKibben and his son Nicholas. This is the first step in becoming an Olympic trainer. A fivemember panel evaluates the interns during the two weeks, then the top 60 percent are asked back to work in an Olympic festival.. "If I don't get to do anything else, I feel the time I spent up there is invaluable to me," said McKibbin. "It was something I can be proud of." "I was real pleased with some of the knowledge I brought back with me," said McKibbin. "Getting to work in that capacity, plus you learn from the staff up there. The caliber of athletes up there is amazing," said Mckibbin. McKibbin worked with other

87 students from 18 countries walk stage, representing growth of student population Staff Writer Eighty-seven students from 18 foreign countries graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma this summer, reflecting the growing number of international students attending the university. "Although we do get a few freshmen, the majority of international students come here at the undergraduate level, most of them are graduates of junior colleges in their own home countries," said Dr. Ron Paddack, director of international student services. Although many people who use English as a second language struggle all their life with the language, it is not a major problem with foreign students at UCO, said Paddack. UCO has an entry requirement exam for international students called Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOFL), said Paddack. TOFL scores are required so the student will be able to do the required work with no problem. "It's hard for us to have an accurate follow-up on how many students stay here as opposed to going back to their own countries after graduation. However, we do know that many of our students do return home as we have some fine UCO alumni chapters in Taipei, Taiwan, Bangkok, Thailand and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia," said Paddack. Those graduating included:

Staff member mixes business with pleasure, releases second album: There Was a Time •

By Jason Webb Staff Writer After the success of her first album, Noel, Sing We Clear, soprano Susan Urbach has introduced her second album There Was a Time, a collection of Stephen Foster tunes. Director of the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center (OSBDC), part of the University of Central Oklahoma's business school, Urbach used her musical and business talents to perform, arrange, produce, market and distribute the album. "This is kind of a historical album," explained Urbach, "It's tunes like `Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair' and 'My Old Kentucky Home. — Urbach sang and played the cello and the concertina on the album. She was accompanied on the piano by Scott Raab. She chose the music of Foster because she enjoys it, she said, and hopes that others will enjoy it as well. Evidence that others are interested in the album came recently with her first museum order from the Stephen Foster Culture Center in White Springs, Fla. Distribution has been time-intensive, she said, and has been primarily on the local and regional level. She is currently expanding her efforts to historical museums across the South. The album was released under

Panhandle State: "Tone Down" or Ship Out

•

"At Panhandle State University, Shawn D. Murphy was instructor of journalism and English, and adviser to the student newspaper, The Collegian, until he was coerced into resigning," states SPJ's letter. It also said Murphy received pressure from college administrators to "tone down" the paper and "stop playing up the bad news." Murphy said the pressure came after The Collegian reported on a racial incident that occurred on Panhandle's campus last year. The editors of The Collegian printed the many letters to the editor they received after the incident, but administrators "got bent out of shape, saying it was an isolated incident and damaging to the campus," Murphy said. "I got chewed out for prolonging the incident, for 'overdoing it,' but the students were doing their duty," he said. Murphy said administrators didn't want the paper to run certain ads and urged them to print more "good" news. "They said, 'We want you, as the adviser, to go in and edit the

paper before it comes out.'" Murphy said he tried to explain to the administrators the laws of prior restraint, but that they didn't seem to care. "The Vice President of Academics told me that if I didn't do the paper that way, there wouldn't be a job for me." Murphy's contract was denied for the 1994-95 year. He now lives in Fremont, Neb., where he teaches print journalism and photography, and serves as advisor to the student newspaper at Midland Lutheran College. PSU President Ron Meek said he has responded in writing to the SPJ First Amendment Committee. New faculty advisor for The Collegian Mike Kennedy said "I have not been pressured by anyone to print anything...I have not been hired to be the henchman." Although at Panhandle for only a short time, Kennedy said he doesn't believe an incident will occur, "at least not without a

State and College Regents: Pleading the "First" The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, through Public Information Director Jeanne Edney, said, "It is well known and widely recognized that Chancellor (Hans) Brisch and the State Regents are strong advocates of the First Amendment. "The governing boards have informed us that they will be examining the concerns addressed in the letter, and keep us apprised," Edney said. W. Douglas Wilson, executive secretary for the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges, which governs Panhandle State University, spoke on behalf of their regents. "Our board has adopted policy that addresses freedom of the press, on which we hold an affirmative position," Wilson said. Regarding the firing of Murphy at Panhandle State,

cerned that freedom of speech is alive and well on our college campuses because these are public institutions extending taxpayer dollars. "Therefore, their business is the public's business, and students should have access to what's going on at college campuses." Hanebutt said SPJ will stand up for the rights of the student press. "How can future journalists understand they need not kowtow to official edict if they are forced to do so by the academic institutions charged with educating them?" Hanebutt said. Hanebutt also said the SPJ would provide universities guidelines for dealing with student publications. SPJ officials said they are interested in meeting with the college presidents and boards to remedy the dispute.

Wilson said the board needs more information. "Our board president will have to investigate that. We will certainly ask our president to look into this. Our faculty do have certain grievance policies, and I hope all personnel use that." The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, which governs East Central and Southeastern Oklahoma State, was on retreat when The Vista went to print, and did not respond prior to leaving.

open construction pit and is swallowed by the cast-aside remnants of ancient trees. The good news is that they could survive, the bad news is that the injuries incurred may not be covered by the University of Central Oklahoma's current insurance policy. UCO's insurance will cover any injuries sustained by the

employee as long as they were on the clock at the time. However if they were not on the clock, they would not be covered. UCO's current plan with the State Insurance Fund will cover 100% of medical expenses and up to 67% of the average weekly salary, said Sharon Washburn, senior underwriter at the State Insurance Fund. With the construction in various stages throughout the campus, and a nearly fatal accident last spring, students may want to stay alert to potential accidents. Construction is not the only danger to students. Accidents are just waiting to happen almost anywhere, anytime, as can be witnessed each time someone trips over an innocuous inconvenience such as their shoelace. Many students work on a vol-

unteer basis on campus in conjunction with their majors. Some of these jobs are rife with potential hazards that the students should beware of. "We cannot insure volunteers as far as I know," said Washburn. Perhaps the group with the most insurance worries is the athletes. After all, when physically testing one's body day after day the probability of injury is likely. The athletes are covered for athletic injuries sustained during practice or actual events. The athletes are also insured during team trips, said Jeff Mckibbin, assistant athletic director at UCO. Accidents happen, and the victims must often fight for their compensation. After all, insurance companies aren't to help you, they're out to make a profit. A
