The Student Voice Since 1903

Students skeptical of Wiwi' education By Marco Buscaglia College Press Service In recent years, universities across the country have been promoting the use of computers in an effort to restructure the educational process. And while most students embrace the new technology, not everyone is excited about jumping aboard the digital bandwagon. A recent report from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities indicates that nearly 60 percent of all schools expect their students to exhibit various computer literacy skills upon graduation. To meet those goals, more schools are making computersa mandatory part of the academic process. Last spring, trustees at Wake Forest University voted to provide portable computers for incoming freshmen in 1996. The cost of each computer will be covered by an increase of roughly $1,000 a year in tuition for the freshmen class. Although school officials say they are simply taking appropriate advantage of current technology, some WFU students feel the university is headed down the wrong path.

"We're rushing into something without the necessary preparation," says junior John Whitmire. "Making computers a mandatory part of a college education is something that should be decided on by students." Whitmire questions the additional costs for students. "Is that the right way to go for a school thaes been selling itself as a place to get an affordable liberal arts education?" he says. But costs aren't the 20-year-old philosophy major's only concern. "Mandating computers seems to go against the whole idea of a liberal arts education," Whitmire says. "There are plenty of other institutions that can fulfill students' technical aspirations. Wake Forest is supposed to offer more than that. We're supposed to promote thinking and understanding of the bigger issues." Paul Escott, WFU's new dean of the college of arts and sciences, says the computers–part of a comprehensive restructuring plan–will be used to enhance the educational experience. "The faculty isn't looking at this as a way to replace current teaching methods, they see it as a chance to help broaden the way they can

present material," Escott says. While Whitmire is wary of computer over-influence, he admits that it would be hard to argue that computers hinder the educational process. David Brown, provost at WFU, says the laptops will help create a more cohesive effort between students and teachers. "Anytime you improve the communication between students and professors, you're enhancing the educational experience," says Brown. Whitmire, however, disagrees. "We already don't have enough interpersonal relationships between students and their professors," he says. "By 'promoting the use of email instead of office visits, the administration is admitting that and moving on. We should work to 'improve the communication as it currently exists." Freshmen at Sonoma State University in California are now required to have "24-hour access" to computers. If the students don't want to buy their own PC, they can rent one from the university. Tracy Terrill, president of SSU's student government, says he's not opposed to the idea of enhanced computer-use, but he is concerned that the new requirement may pose

an expensive dilemma for some students on the higher education bubble. "Higher education in California is at such a critical state that it seems questionable to start

spending money on something like mandatory computers," Terrill says. "It's important to stay current but at what price?" V See WIRED, Page 16

Tlexentials' replace E-Z meal plan By Leslie Wakulich

Staff Writer UCO students living on campus and using the "Flexentials" meal plan may be paying more and getting less for their money this semester. _ With the rising cost of food, the price of every meal plan in the

dorms was raised by five percent, with the exception of the E-Z meal plan, which was raised by 24 percent and was replaced by "Flexentials." The former E-Z meal plan had given students a monthly food allowance which they could spend in any of the cafeterias on campus, as well as the Union Station Express, the convenience store in

the University Center. The E-Z meal plan had been popular with residents because it was the least expensive and allowed a broader use of the meal plan, said Vice President of the Residence Hall Association Keith Weber. Last year, a student with a double room on the E-Z meal plan would pay $1,874 for two

semesters. This year, under "Flexentials" a student will pay $2,327—a difference of $453—for the same room, with a greater allowance for food and supplies. With the "Flexentials" meal plan, students are required to eat five meals a week in the Central Cafeteria and are given an allowance to spend in the other

cafeterias, the convenience store and bookstore. The allowance, however, may not be used to purchase textbooks or trade books. With each monthly payment of $257.63 (a double room with "Flexentials"), $87.12 pays for 20 meals a month in the Central Cafeteria and $87.13 goes to the V See MEALS, Page 14

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

ay you are told that as a student living on campus, you will be granted more "buying power." This privilege extends to meals in all cafeterias in the university and purchases made in Ithe convenience • store and the bookstore. Oh, but this privilege doesn't come cheap. In fact, it will cost you—in a year—$453 more than it did when you were on the now-defunct E-Z meal plan, which basically had offered similar features. This "privileged" scheme is called "Flexentials," which is a misnomer, actually, because there's hardly anything flexible about it. On this meal plan, you have to have at least five meals a week in the Central Cafeteria. If you don't use up your quota (and we won't blame you), you lose whatever's left. You can't carry the balance over to next month's account— that's just the way it works. Hey, but wait a minute. You get to use "Flexentials" at the bookstore, a feature not available with the E-Z meal plan. Cool, except that you aren't allowed to buy any books. How about scantron or 2-B pencils? "Flexentials" will come in handy when you have a test coming up. You've heard the old adage, • "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." The E-Z meal plan was working fine, but certain authorities couldn't resist tinkering with it. They gave it a new name, added a feature or two, and raised the pricetag by a staggering 24 percent. What students need is not more "buying power" or some other lofty-sounding concept, but some "saying power"—an audible voice in the making of decisions that affect them. Let's remember that in a university, students are the cogs that keep the big wheel spinning. AD

AAUP-UCO President defends tenure

(77

n response to the editorial- on instills a spirit of freedom in

the "Tenure Trial Balloon" in a recent edition of The Sunday Oklahoman (August 27), I would like to make the following statement: In Oklahoma, the American Association of University Professors is a professional organization and not a union. The organization encourages scholarly activities and accomplishments of professors, students, and administrators, protects academic freedom, and promotes shared governance of faculty and administrators in academic decisions. Tenure enables faculty to obtain these goals without administrative retribution. Tenure provides faculty with the academic freedom to be productive and active free thinkers with multiple orientations and varied activities in their respective area(s) of expertise. The notion of tenure

teaching, research, and service that provide faculty with a means to be modern, innovative, and creative members of the community. Not everyone earns tenure, but those that do have proven themselves as productive faculty members to students, faculty, and administrators over a period of several years. If the goal of the Governor's Reform Commission is to improve higher education, then they should look at other issues such as the politicization of higher education and increased administrative costs instead of tenure. Problems in higher education appear to originate from the false impression by some administrators who view tenure as a "stamp of approval" or a reward for seniority. Tenure should be a symbol of productivity and creativity rather than a reward for agreeing with the administration.

Since teaching and research are the responsibilities of faculty, then some accountability for those actions should rest with the faculty. The best input from students comes from faculty who spend many hours of their day with those students. When was the last time an administrator or a regent spent an hour with a classroom full of students? Shared governance of faculty with administrators and boards of regents optimizes input from all levels of higher education. Such shared governance is equitably instituted only when tenured faculty members are present because they feel comfortable enough to express differing and innovative opinions. —James E. Budlack, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Biology, AAUP-UCO president

Chair applauds rescue effort

n Wednesday, July 12, one of my students experienced a medical emergency in the Liberal Arts building during class time. The campus police were notified and responded within two minutes. They alerted the Edmond Fire Department and rescue team who were on site within three minutes. The student was stabilized and later transported to the hospital. I 'want to

commend the prompt response by both the campus security force and the speedy administration of medical techniques by the fire department. EMSA arrived from Hefner and May approximately 25 minutes later. In addition, I would like to publicly note the quick and appropriate first aid measures taken by class members who aided and assisted the student at the moment of emergency while

help was being summoned. Thanks again to Officer Thomas of the UCO security force and his team, the Edmond Fire and Rescue Unit, and students Priscilla Richardson, Ron Hale, Joy McNutt, Harriet Cederholrn, Wendy Clothier and Terry Veal. — Dr. Lynette L. Wert Chairperson, Creative Studies Dept.

The internship informants: A view on interviewing By Samer Hamadeh & Mark Oldman

College Press Service As fall gets underway, oncampus job interviews begin on many colleges and universities around the nation. For college seniors, four years (in some cases, five or six years) of study must now be transformed into meaningful employment. For younger college students, no more summers of mowing lawns or babysitting the neighbors' kids. It's time to get an internship, one with challenging projects and exposure to a new field_ Fortunately, at this time of year, companies start flocking to campus in search of young people to fill entry-level positions. But unlike the 1980s, when many companies came to campus and a high proportion of the jobseeking graduating class received at least one job offer, the 90s bring a new corporate mantra: to become a lean, mean machine, companies must cut jobs. The end result: overall hiring of college grads nationwide fell 55 percent between 1989 and 1993, according to Hanigan Consulting Group, a

STEVEN SPEARS KERR ATTORNEY Employment Law Family Law (Divorce and Adoptions) Criminal Defense and Appeals DUI

recruiting-consulting firm in New York. While Hanigan's research shows a modest upturn in 1994, the damage has been done. Not Only are fewer entry-level jobs available upon graduation (only half as many as 1989), but in anticipation of this reduced hiring, many internship programs have been scaled back as well. These data mean that honing your job-interviewing skills is more important than ever, if only because students will land a smaller number of interviews this year than in past years. But few students spend as much time preparing for the job interview as they do working on their resume. Both, however, are equally important. Here are some tips on maximizing your interviewing skills: 1. Sell yourself only after you know what the company is looking for. Employers hire people to solve problems. Your first task, then, is to determine the solution. Play up your strengths but anticipate and carefully rebut objections to your strengths. Tell the truth: most

employers can sniff out exaggeration. 2. Be ready for standard as well as off-the-wall questions. Employers will naturally ask you about your past jobs, personal interests and education. But some employers also want to evaluate how you would handle certain job situations and will make up scenarios for you to analyze. For example, a consulting firm may describe a business looking to expand and ask you to develop a strategy; an advertising agency may present a fictional client for which you must outline a marketing plan. 3. Display your knowledge of the company. Libraries, government offices, professional associations and the company's own public affairs department are good places to find out what products and services the company offers. If the interviewer ask you what you think of the company's new line, a knowledgeable answer will significantly enhance your standing. 4. Prepare questions. Because

most interviewers will invite you to ask questions about the organization, it's wise to have some ready in advance. Asking the interviewer what he or she doe s works especially well; people love to talk about themselves. 5. Look and act like a professional. You get only one shot at a first impression. Be on time (10-15 minutes early) and dressed and groomed appropriately. When you meet the interviewer, smile, shake his or her hand firmly, and commit his or her name to memory (to use at the end of the interview.) 6. Practice. Ask a friend or someone at the career center to take you through a mock interview or two. Sometimes it is also advisable to interview for jobs you do not want just to get the hang of it. Like taking an exam, interviewing for a job requires

advance planning. Making sure that you are well-rested, wellnourished, and thoroughly prepared may consume valuable time but serves an ameliorating purpose: it will enhance your interview and dramatically improve your odds of landing a job.

Pell Grants jeopardized by House bill By Charles Dervarics College Press Service The U.S. House of Representatives this month approved a bill to restructure the federal Pell Grant program and eliminate small grants for an estimated 250,000 college students. House Republicans said their plan will re-focus the program to target those students most in need of financial aid. The bill would increase the maximum Pell Grant by $100 next year but terminate aid to less-needy students who do not qualify for grants of at least $600. The current minimum grant is $400. "The committee believes that funding for these small grants, which support individuals with relatively less need, should be better targeted to those students with relatively greater financial need," said a report accompanying the bill, H.R. 2127. The 250,000 students affected by the cut "will have ready access to additional loans of $400-$600 necessary to supplement their education expenses," the report added. The change is needed to "better target limited resources to those students with the greatest needs," it said. Overall, the plan would cut total funding for Pell by $500 million next year. However, the maximum grant would increase from $2,340 to $2,440. A bitterly divided House approved the bill in early August by a vote of 219 to 208, with most Democrats opposing the measure. "This bill is simply a monster of inequity," said Rep: Vic Fazio (DCalif.) of the bill, which would fund federal education, employment and human-service programs. "One-half of the cuts in this bill are stolen from the singlebest investment we can make in out future: education." Other Democrats charged the cuts will fund tax breaks for business and the wealthy. "These cuts far exceed what would be necessary to balance the budget," added Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.), senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee that drafted the measure. Critics say the bill, if enacted into law, would mean cuts of $4 billion in federal education spending next year. President Clinton vowed to veto

the measure shortly after it cleared the House. "What is being done to the college programs and the job training program is simply unacceptable," he said. The jobless training cuts include termination of an $800 million program offering summer jobs to at-risk youth. Though the bill does increase the maximum Pell Grant, House Republicans fell short of Clinton's own goals for the program in 1996. Earlier this year, he proposed a maximum of $2,620 in 1996 to make up for past cuts in the maximum grant. Elsewhere in education, H.R. 2127 would eliminate many graduate programs such as Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowships that help recruit underserved minorities for graduate education. Other fellowship programs include Javits fellowships for doctoral study, Byrd honor scholarships for high school students, Douglas teacher scholarships, national science scholars and faculty development fellowships. Support for these graduate fellowships totaled $50 million in 1995. The Republicans' plan also eliminates all funding for State Student Incentive Grants (SSIG), in which the federal government provides matching funds for state grant programs. SSIG received $63 million this year. Another provision in the measure ends new capital contributions for Perkins Loans, a campus-based student-aid program. Last year's Congress allocated $158 million for new contributions. Obey said eliminating federal contributions would deny aid to 150,000 college students. The average grant in the Perkins program is about $1,400. Democrats sought unsuccessfully to restore some of the Perkins funds during debate on the measure. Elsewhere in student aid, the bill would freeze funding for college work/study programs at the current level of $616 million. Support for Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants would remain at $583 million under the legislation. H.R. 2127 also would freeze funding for TRIO programs that recruit disadvantaged and minority students into higher education. Funds for historically black colleges would remain frozen,

while a small program to support Hispanic-serving colleges and universities would face a 10 percent cutback. Another provision of the spending bill would limit administrative costs in the new Direct Loan program, in which the federal government, through schools, makes educational loans directly to students without the help of banks. Many Republicans want

to scale back or curtail the program, claiming it will not reach its anticipated savings. Democrats defended the program saying it will save money by cutting out subsidies to financial institutions. The action now moves to the Senate, where members will mark up their own version of an education/human service spending bill by mid-September. A House/Senate conference

committee then would resolve any differences between the bills before sending a final package to the White House. The government's fiscal year begins Oct. 1, although delays and a presidential veto could leave education programs without firm funding at the start of the new year. Congress, now in adjournment, will return to work after Labor Day. 4

UCO takes on Mesa State in first game of season By Scott Moore

Sports Writer It will be the same old story for the UCO Bronchos when they open their 1995 football season this Saturday. For the third straight year, the Bronchos will open against Division II foe Mesa State College. The Bronchos and the Mavericks will square off at 2 p.m. at Grand Junction, Colo., inside 4,500 seat Stoker Stadium. The season opening "tradition" has been a perfect match for the Bronchos who won last year's contest 30-8 at Wantland Stadium and the '93 game 37-7 at Grand Junction. Overall, UCO owns a 32 lead in the series that started in 1982. After last season's 30-8 opening day pasting by the Bronchos, the Mavericks dropped six of their next

seven games before winning their last three to finish the season 4-7. Mesa St. went 4-3 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and finished fourth. Of the Mavericks seven defeats, only two were by more than seven points. Second year Maverick head coach Jay Hood will see eight starters return on offense and seven on defense. MSC's top running back, Jermaine Davis (200 carries for 891 yards in '94), will return along with all three top receivers. The question mark lies at the quarterback position where a new man must step in for graduated starter Jake Logue. The linebacking duo of Shawn Lenahan and Donny Bayus will lead the Maverick defensive charge. Lenahan recorded 118 tackles and eight sacks in '94 while Bayus had 64 stops and three sacks.

Bronchos begin title defense at Washburn By Michael P. Patrick

Sports Editor The UCO volleyball team will begin their defense of the Lone Star Conference title this weekend at the Washburn Invitational tournament in Topeka, Kansas. The Bronchos have three fulltime and two part-time starters returning from their 32-5 team that advanced to the finals of the South Central regional. The Lady Bronchos will play two matches Friday and one match on Saturday in pool play before

playing at least one other match Saturday in bracket play. Emporia State, who finished the 1994 season at 35-10 and Northern Colorado at 30-6 will be waiting to provide a challenge for the Bronchos. Head Coach, Mark Herrin said the Washburn tournament will provide an essential test to judge how his pre-season preparation paid off. "We're excited about getting the season underway," Herrin said. "This tournament will be an excellent chance to see how far along we've come."

UCO set for challenge By Scott Moore

Sports Writer Assessing an opening day opponent who hasn't played a game yet is difficult. Little is known about a team until they play a game. Determining their strengths and weaknesses is a perplexing task. Scouting is reduced to guess-work. This is the situation facing the UCO Bronchos as they prepare to face Division II rival Mesa State Saturday at 2 p.m. in Grand Junction, Colo. Both the Bronchos and the Mavericks are opening against each other so it has yet to be determined how they will fare in game situations.

better this year than the 4-7 season of last year. "They have a good group this year and they might be on a roll," said Howard. "I saw some of their games towards the end of the year and I thought they had improved a great deal. They won their last three games so obviously they improved. "They had a new coach last year and a new system but I think as the season wore on they got more and more adjusted so I think this year they will be more comfortable and fully prepared. You really can't expect anything less than that or you are seriously underrating your opponent."

"It's difficult to assess (Mesa St.) from the standpoint of what they might do or how they might change from last year," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. "When we prepare we will have to concentrate a little bit on how they did last year. But also, we'll have to prepare for a variety of situations so we will be able to make adjustments if they do anything different. "It's difficult preparing for early opponents because sometimes you have to practice harder so that you can be fully prepared for as many situations as possible." • Based on last year, Howard said that he expects the Mavericks to be

Callaway to coach cross counry team By Mike Gustafson Sports Writer

For the first time in UCO history a graduate assistant will prepare an athletic team for its season, said Mike Kirk, sports information director. Brian Callaway, a second-year graduate assistant and former UCO standout, will temporarily take over the reigns of the men's and women's cross country team. Callaway will replace longtime head coach, Paul Parent while he

recovers from quadruple bypass surgery. Callaway said though he will prepare the team for the season the team is still Parent's. "I want everyone to know that this is Parent's team," said Callaway. "I'm just glad he has enough faith in me to allow me to step in as coach." Callaway said his stint as head coach as opened his eyes to the difficulties of preparing a team for competition. "Some of the athelets call me coach, some call me Brian. I really don't care so much since we all get along so well."

Callaway said as head coach he has learned that he must take on many different roles. " Since taking over I have had to act as both a financial aid and a housing assistant," said Callaway. "I have really come to enjoy this opportunity, everyone in the department has gone out of their way to help me. I just wish I could have gained this experience under different circumstances. "Coach Parent still manages to giveme advice and between the two of us I think the team can look forward to a good year." On

Wintertime offers no safe haven from bacterial infections By Elizabeth Hew

Guest Writer

As summer draws to a close, some may welcome the end of the allergy season, but winter is not without its dangers. One of them is the presence of a "flesh-eating" bacterium, transmittable through strep-throat infection. The bacterium Streptococcus, group A, causes necrotizing fasciitis, a disease that deours the skin. This is a fast-dividing organism that spreads throughout the body, especially through joints, wounds and sore throats, said Lauri Smithee, epidemiologist at the Oklahoma State Health Department. Although the bacterium can be treated with most penicillins, the rapid pace at which it spreads can prove fatal if help is delayed, said Smithee. "The bacterium releases toxins into the body, and the human body does not have enough time to

produce antibodies. "Within a matter of hours, the body is overwhelmed by the bacteria and is about to give up," she said. Children in day care and early elementary are most susceptible to Streptococcus, said Smithee. This is because adults have already developed the antibodies for sore throats. "Strep-throat infection (sore throat) is most common during winter," said Smithee. Another skin bacterium, one which is airborne and resistant to most medicines, is also prevalent during the cold season. This is the methycillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and its infectious traits are resistant to most antibiotics, said Diane Rudebock, registered nurse at the

Oklahoma City County Health Department. MRSA also causes bed sores,_ said Smithee. This is most common among older people who suffer more frequently from skin breakdowns and individuals who are confined to the bed for a prolonged period of time. "This is a very common disease, internationally and particularly nationally," said Smithee. Nursing homes report the most cases of MRSA outbreaks, said Smithee. This is because nurses or other healthcare professionals come into direct contact with older people who have been infected. Studies have also shown the disease to be airborne. This means MRSA can also be transmitted by breathing air which a carrier or an infected person has coughed into,

said Rudebock. What is not really understood by medical experts is that MRSA can affect people in different ways, she said. An individual can carry it in the nose or on the skin but not show any symptoms of the illness, said Rudebock. This is known as MRSA colonization. At present, the only medicine able to heal MRSA infections is Vancomycin, said Smithee. However, this drug is only effective if taken intravenously. Because Vancomycin is toxic, expensive and can result in serious side effects, most physicians will only prescribe the drug in severe cases, said Rudebock. Some of the side effects include fever, rashes, kidney failure, nausea, chills, itchiness, ringing in the ear and the

Redman Syndrome, which is an allergic response of the body to medicine if given it too fast. Nevertheless, authorities at the Oklahoma State Department of Health said that with proper education and preventive measures, one can immunize oneself against these life-threatening bacteria. "The single most important measure to control the spread of MRSA (and Streptococcus) is hand washing—using soap and warm running water for 20 seconds," said Rudebock. Other measures of MRSA prevention include careful handling of clothing that have touched a wound, proper disposal of wound dressings and prompt medical attention for wounds that do not heal well, said Rudebock.

Another band battles the ho-hum doldrums

his is as unbelievable as it is incredible—two bands featured in a single review who suffer from similar symptoms.

Fortunately, Wakeland's case of the overkill doldrums is not nearly as advanced as that of Buffalo Tom's. This upbeat local band recently released the album Magnetic. Magnetic is a 12-track CD that has some impressive ups, but it also contains some pretty cliched, predictable songs that bring it down a little. Take for example, if you will, the lyrics, "We'll get through somehow, don't run away," or "fools don't run away"—geez, how many times do they have to churn out this trite stuff, anyway?

Dealing with What You're Dealt A support group to aid in managing stress All prospective group members will participate in a brief and confidential screening interview with the group leader(s) prior to attending the first session.

Issues Addressed: * Understanding Stress and Health * Managing Yourself in a Stressful Environment * Strategies for Coping with Stress The group will meet weekly and is free of charge to UCO students. It will be led by Sarah Walker and Jamie Knight, advanced graduate students completing their M.Ed. in Community Counseling.

The saddest point of the album is a track entitled Rain Song, which is—surprise, surprise—about the age-old scenario of some idiot standing in the rain or in this case, a woman "standing in the dew." Songs about rain are nauseating because they've been done so many , times, this song almost ruins the rest of the CD. Wakeland's guitarist/singer needs to step into the present and start coming up with more original lyrics. This is one of the major faults Wakeland has: the lyrics are pitifully overdone.

But Wakeland must be doing something right, because it has amassed quite a following in recent years. Unlike Sleepy Eyed, every song on this album is substantially different. Wakeland -even throws in different types of noises and guitar solos that keep the audience from falling asleep. Wakeland is the type of band that is perfect for Friday night concerts—the type that you and your friends drink beer and talk through and you wouldn't miss a thing. Overall, Magnetic is not a bad

"I don't like Flexentials because they make you eat in the cafeteria. And since it's our money, I think we should be able to spend it how we want," said Dana Holverson, Murdaugh Hall resident.

Enrollment studies show student numbers lower than last year By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer

•

Construction has been cited as one of the reasons UCO has experienced it's largest enrollment decrease in 17 years. Ed Cunliff, director of institutional research and planning, said UCO enrollment has not been this low since 1979, when the decrease was 7 1/2 percent. Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management, said 10,770 full time equivalent (FTE) students enrolled this fall — a 3.25 percent drop from last year's fall enrollment. "I think the construction, along with other speculative factors, may be why figures are down," he said. Legere said another reason for the decrease may be because of the economy. "When the economy is good, students would rather work than go to school," he said. Legere said the total head count figure for students enrolled is 15,334 — a 4.4 percent decrease. "We have a larger decrease in head count than we do in FTE," he said. "This shows that although we have fewer students, those that are attending college are taking more classes," he said. Legere said among the 705 students less this Fall, the graduate population suffered the biggest loss. "There was a 10.3 percent decline among graduate students while undergraduates declined 2.7 percent," he said. "We won't know the exact reason for this until we get into the

I've heard rumors that some colleges are up and some are down, but I usually wait until I see the Regent's preliminary report," he said. Cunliff said the college analyzes enrollment every semester to see where change occurs.

WIRED continued from front page Terrill says more communication is needed to determine the eventual role of technology in the classroom. "It's almost impossible to imagine we could go any further in higher education without computers, but we need to look at this with a whole new approach," says Terrill. "Do we avoid technology and not worry about it or do we take full advantage of everything we can get and just see what happens? We have to find the middle ground. We have to use this technology so it's useful in they classroom" If SSU officials ultimately hope for their students to have roundthe-clock computer access, they may want to look to Drake University as an example. Six years ago, Drake began installing computers in the dorm rooms of their freshmen students. At the beginning of last year's fall semester, the process was complete, with all Drake residence hall rooms equipped with new Macintosh Power PCs. "We look at the computer as a tool. It's a good way to manage information no matter what your major is," says Alan Cubbage, director of communications at Drake. Cubbage says the university decided to include the computers in the dorm rooms so the charges would be covered by financial aid. "We wanted to make this as fair as possible," says Cubbage, adding that students who bring their own computers to campus get a $300 discount on their tuition. "We wanted to provide students with the technology but we didn't want the cost to be a hindrance." Because of the financial aid assistance, Cubbage says he hasn't heard any complaints about the program. "If the students are skeptical at first, they usually aren't aware of what they can do," he says. "We want them to view it as a necessary tool, something as commonplace as a telephone." Students at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Missouri are required to use Macintosh PowerBooks to obtain information from the school's electronic collection of medical reference material. "We view these computers as an essential educational tool for our students," says Dr. Fred Tinning, president of the school. "They can practice medicine anywhere knowing that they'll have all our information available to them at their fingertips. When computers are introduced as a mandatory part of a college curriculum, schools must provide the appropriate instructions on how to fully utilize the latest technology, says Louis Fox, assistant dean for undergraduate education at the University of Washington.

Last year, 75 UW freshmen took part in the school's "U-Wire" program, each receiving a laptop computer. The students were enrolled in similar classes, participated in the same study groups and took various seminars to help them adjust to their new Macintosh PowerBooks. "Granted, there's a lot to be learned when students just start figuring things out on their own, but sometimes students won't realize the full potential of their machines," says

Fox. "If we provide them with these tools, we have the responsibility to show them how to use them." While Fox says last year's computer program was successful enough to allow the inclusion of 1,500 freshmen this fall, UW officials have decided to provide the students with stationary computers instead of the laptops. "The costs are substantially lower," he says. "We realized that the portability wasn't as important as

we thought." Fox says that another benefit of last year's program is the increased number of student-worker familiar with the program. "A lot of the UWired alums will be helping out with technical support," Fox says. "And with programs like these, the more help you have, the better." When Vermont's Lynchburg College began a similar program in 1990, they had hoped to have a completely wired campus by 1996. But after increasing costs, the

school decided to scrap the program in last fall. "We jumped the gun a little," says Conny Roussos, director of computing services. "The faculty wasn't ready yet to work them into their courses, and the costs of the computers and support kept rising." Still, Roussos says Lynchburg officials haven't written off the program yet. "We just need to slow down a little," Roussos says. "We want to make sure we do it right."

Faculty tenure under fire from performance review By Susan Reger Staff Writer Abolishment of faculty tenure is currently under • review by Oklahoma's Government Commission on Government Performance, said Rick Buchanon, - spokesperson for Governor Keating. Oklahoma City businessman Rodd Moesel, a member of the commission, originated the idea, said Buchanon. "Keating is not a fan of tenure because it doesn't ask for performance," said Buchanon. "However, he will not take a stand on the issue until he reviews the commission report." Tenure is a core value of the Dr. Thomas E. Guild, associate professor of general business and AAUP, American Association of president of the AAUP defends the principle of faculty tenure. University Professors, said Dr. (Staff photo by Joy McNutt)

Thomas Guild, Associate Professor in Business and AAUP President. Lifetime job security is provided to tenured faculty unless they abuse seven procedural grounds for dismissal such as a felony or incompetence, said Guild. "The main justification for tenure is academic freedom," said Guild. "Tenured faculty may challenge orthodox opinion in their chosen field based on research. "Tenure gives faculty the right to pursue a chogen discipline and discuss educated guesses and opinions in the classroom without fear of dismissal or intervention by administration." Guild used the discovery that the world was round instead of flat in 1492 as an example of challenging orthodox opinion. "Without tenure, sharing this discovery in a classroom might

have been considered wrong or `way out there' resulting in termination," said Guild. Another disadvantage of abolishing tenure is that UCO offers salary levels below the national market, said Guild. Guild said he believes UCO would have problems attracting quality faculty who aspire to universities with tenure. "UCO would have to raise money significantly' to attract good people," said Guild. President Nigh said he the abolishment of tenure is an area still to be discussed by regents and elected officials. "I do not have a part in this decision, so it is not appropriate to speak on it," said Nigh.
