The Student Voice Since 1903
Enrollment figures mark downward trend By Cynthia Chung
Staff Writer
ewer students are packing the classrooms at UCO this fall; 853 fewer students, to be exact. As of Monday, Aug. 26, fall 1996 figures stand at 14,481, a 5.5 percent decline as compared to fall 1995 figures of 15,334. The latest numbers appear to be part of a downward trend. For the same period last year, enrollment fell by 4.4 percent. Jerry Legere, registrar of admissions and records, attributes the enrollment decreases to a robust economy. "People who find work usually don't return to school," he said. In an interview with The Vista last year, Legere cited ongoing construction as a possible put-off
F
for new students, but he said he doubts that is the case this year. Graduate and transfer students account for the sharpest drop in enrollment. The number of graduate students fell from 3,286 last year to 2,934 this year, a slide Legere attributes to fulfillment of mandates stipulated by House Bill 1017. The passing of the education bill in 1990, which requires that "teachers get so much credit hours in continuing education to maintain competency levels," was responsible for the influx in graduate students in earlier years. First-time transfer students also fell by 10.45 percent. Traditionally, UCO attracts transfer students from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and

the community colleges. Several factors may have brought about the decrease, but Legere points out that it's a statewide trend, not one exclusive to UCO. On the up side, this fall found a record number of first-time freshmen-1,468—registered at UCO. Likewise, the international student population climbed from 1,534 to 1,570. The top five international countries are Taiwan, (349) and Malaysia, (301) followed by Japan, (98) Thailand (94) and Pakistan (85). Legere credits international students and the director of the International Student Office, Dr. Ronald Paddack, for the growth. Paddack was modest about his recruitment efforts, although he has helped establish alumni chapters in Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore. He said he sees opportunity for recruitment in every invitation extended to him for speeches or presentations. Last November, he traveled to Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Korea. This year has seen him traipsing to Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and England. On all his trips, Paddack lined his suitcases with UCO materials, which he also distributed to Study Abroad Centers, English language schools and U.S. Information Service outlets.

Celebrating a Quarter of a Century of Compositions: Music of Samuel Magrill, will be performed at Mitchel! Hail Theater 8 p.m. (Staff photo by Laurette Graham)
Concert chronicles piano man's career TCO teacher and composer Sam Magrill is a busy man, but not too busy to set his life to music. "Actually, I don't have a lot of time to listen to music, so most of the music I listen to is in the classes that I teach," he said. Magrill explained why some of the selections in tonight's 8 o'clock concert at Mitchell Hall featuring 25 years of his compositions may sound familiar to some students. "It's a reflection of the teaching that I've been doing," he said. "So many pieces that I analyze and present to students, over a period of time, I synthesized them and was able to turn into a composition. "I used chord progressions in the beginning of Goblin Market that were derived from the beginning of advanced harmony class." V See MAGRILL, Page 4

EDITORIAL
Angels in America: Provocative or immoral? AA ngelss in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes A ngelpresented by our theater department last spring. The
house was packed for all four performances. So this fall the department is presenting Part I, The Millennium Approaches again and adding Part II, Perestroika. The New York Times called the works "Vast miraculous plays...provocative, witty and deeply upsetting...a searching and radical rethinking of American political drama." They force the audience to face issues most of us would rather forget about. But we can't—religion, sex, AIDS, politics and prejudice are things all of us will have to confront for the rest of our lives. The subject matter may make some people uncomfortable, but isn't it better to examine these issues sitting in a theater seat than to face them for the first time in a real situation in our daily lives? Already criticism of the upcoming productions have appeared as a letter to the editor in The Daily Oklahoman. The letter called the play a violation of public trust and protested "being forced to support immorality with our tax dollars." What the author's tax dollars are actually supporting is freedom of expression guaranteed by the constitution. What better thing is there for our tax dollars to support than a free marketplace of ideas? We at UCO should feel fortunate that we have faculty and administrators courageous enough to let students present a play reflecting diverse viewpoints. Even when those viewpoints aren't popular in Oklahoma. Ji6E)

CLARIFICATIONS A picture caption on the front page of the Aug. 29 issue of The Vista had UCO students discussing Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. UCO's Muslim Student Association is in no way connected with either. The Vista apologizes for any misunderstanding this may have caused.

he University Center isn't the only place to eat that's undergoing big 1 changes. Dairy Queen at 1021 East Second in Edmond is now under new ownership and is in the process of renovation. I ate at Dairy Queen before the new owners took over and I wasn't very impressed. But when I visited the restaurant recently I found it clean and inviting. The walls are being painted in updated colors and the booths and tables are being replaced in Edmond's oldest established restaurant still in the same location. But the decor isn't the only thing that's changing at Dairy Queen. The new owners, Shane and Dane McKenzie, are also upgrading the food. The quarterpound hot dogs are now all meat, before they had cereal fillers. The McKenzies aren't using imitation cheeses and are buying all their produce fresh. They also told me they are upgrading the fries so they don't absorb as much oil. Additionally, they are servicing the equipment weekly to ensure the quality of the food. They said, if the grills and fryers are serviced more often the food won't absorb as much oil and it makes a better tasting product. All this was evident when I ate my deluxe hamburger Saturday. The lettuce was crisp, the meat was evenly cooked and not greasy. Quite an improvement over the burgers I've gotten there in the past. —By Gayleen Langthorn

Laff Olympians earn points in eight competitions By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer
he slime of a raw egg, a soaking wet sweatshirt and the smell of shaving cream may be common for a boxer in training, but it's UCO students, not Rocky Balboa, who will be enduring the taste of yolk during the upcoming Laff Olympics. The annual event offers participating student organizations the chance to compete for $850 in prize money. Eight different competitions, including elimination volleyball, a chain relay and a shaving cream tug of war are held during homecoming week, Sept. 23-27. Student organizations earn points for participation, sportsmanship, clean-up and meeting attendance. Groups that place in the events also earn points. The organization with the most points will be awarded a $450 grand prize. Second place

The new rule was instituted as an effort to cut down on partiality i n

judging, said Marks. Along with old favorites like the obstacle course, which requires team members to race with a raw egg in their mouth, a new relay will be added to the event. A wet sweatshirt relay will be held at the Hamilton Field House pool. Members of each six-person team will swim the width of the pool while wearing a sweatshirt. The sweatshirt must be transferred to a teammate at the other side of the pool who will continue the relay. Laff Olympic games are designed to be fun and entertaining. Actual training for the competitions is uncommon, said Marks. "Most people only practice about five minutes before the event."

Fred Martin Davidson, 36, walked into an Aug. 15 meeting with the professors, pulled out a semi-automatic weapon and fired 20 rounds, stopping once to reload, police and witnesses said. All three professors were shot multiple times and pronounced dead on the scene, police said. Campus police arrived at the Engineering Buiding after gunshots were heard and said they found Davidson in the hallway with a 9 m.m. handgun. "After repeated orders to put the gun down, the suspect complied and was arrested without accident," the San Diego Police Department said in a statement. Killed were Chen Liang, 32, assistant professor of mechanical engineering; D. Preston Lowery, 44, associate professor of mechanical engineering; and Constantinos Lyrintzis, 36, associate professor of aerospace engineering. San Diego State President Stephen L. Weber called the professors "three of our brightest and most promising teachers. Our fallen collegues...devoted their all-too-short lives to the noble work of education." —By College Press Service

Conference crown is goal of '96 football squad By Joel Reagan Sports Editor
Gary Howard figures a Lone Star Conference title could possibly be the best thing for his football team's playoff chances. So when Howard leads his Central Oklahoma squad against Mesa State (Colo.) Saturday, their focus will be on preparing for the conference 'season and a title run. "We've been getting a little closer in the way we play," Howard said referring to his team's 8-3 mark in 1995. Howard will have 16 starters and 39 lettermen returning from that squad. "We want to win the conference," Howard said. "If you win the Lone Star Conference, then all the other things will take care of themselves." Two nationally ranked squads, Texas A&M-Kingsville and Texas A&M-Commerce, stand in UCO's way to the LSC crown. The Bronchos were ranked as high as eighth in one publication and 23rd in another. Injuries and a lack of depth in the interior offensive and defensive lines could hinder the Bronchos' this season. "That is going to be key to where we are and where we go," Howard said. Freshmen and sophomores dot the depth chart especially on the offensive line. While the lack of depth at some positions may hurt, junior cornerback Hurley Tarver says a strong defensive secondary and a positive attitude could possibly carry UCO farther than just a playoff berth that eluded last year's squad. "As long as we keep the motto of TUFF (Team Unified to Finish First) in mind, I think we will be sucessful," Tarver said. Tarver returns after collecting 73 tackles, six interceptions and breaking up 15 passes in '95. He is joined by strong safety Richard Norman, who made 90 tackles last season. Apache senior Larry Nunn is the freesafety after having an injuryplagued 1995 campaign. Junior
Football '96 2-Deep Depth Chart â&#x20AC;&#x201D;On Page 9 Kenny Evans fills the other cornerback slot after making 32 tackles last season. Two starters return at the linebacking position for UCO. Junior Johnny Luter earned preseason All-American mention from several publications after leading UCO with 122 tackles in 1995. Senior Terry Bell returns after compiling 79 tackles last season. Bell was not expected to play this year. Because of this, junior Chad Gruver is listed ahead of him on the depth chart. While the UCO defense was one of the best in Divison II, leading the nation in turnover margin in 1995, senior Zack Leonard believes the offense has a good problem. "We can (run the ball and pass the ball) and that is what you want," Leonard said. "That is a great problem to have." Leonard, along with fellow senior Jubarko Gaines, will shoulder much of the running load at the tailback position this season, Leonard, who is doubtful for Saturday's game (see related story), rushed for 980 yards and 10 touchdowns to finish third in the LSC. Gaines added 638 yards and four touchdowns. The player giving the running backs the football is Stanley Pena. The senior missed five games due to injury last season but completed 59 of 129 passes for 878 yards and six touchdowns. His backup, junior Sean Morgan, saw extensive action filling in for Pena. Morgan completed 44 of 84 for 578 yards and seven touchdowns last season. One of Pena's main targets will be split end Chris Gillespie. The senior caught 36 passes for 527 yards and four touchdowns. He is listed as probable for the season opener after injuring his hamstring in practice. VSee FOOTBALL, Page 10

Lady Bronchos drop opener PITTSBURG, Kan. — The
Central Oklahoma volleyball team opened the season with a five-game loss to Pittsburg State Tuesday night despite leading after two games. UCO led the third game 11-4 after winning the first two games 15-12 and 15-11. Then PSU's Lori Pruitt recorded seven kills as the Gorillas rallied to win the game 17-15. PSU took the next two games
15-12 and 15-10 to win the match and get their third victory against two losses this season. Senior outside hitter Stacey Schwartz led the Lady Bronchos with 19 kills and 20 digs. Junior middle blocker Kate O'Neill had six blocks while sophomore setter Arwin Schneider added 68 assists. During UCO's 4-10 start last year, five of the losses were in five-game matches.
While UCO is coming off a 17-20 season, PSU went 8-26 last year. UCO leads the all-time series 6-2. UCO will make a Texas road trip this weekend, facing Angelo State 7 p.m. Friday and Abilene Christian 2 p.m. Saturday. Angelo returns five starters from last year's 11-20 team, while Abilene has four starters back from a 20-12 team. 40
Changes punctuate the Central Oklahoma cross-country team's season as they open with a meet Saturday against tough teams from their region. As with many of UCO's teams, they must compete against new teams in the expanded Lone Star Conference. The LSC now has 12 women's cross-country teams and nine men's. UCO coach Paul Parent said he doesn't know how his team will perform in the West Texas A&M Invitational at Canyon, Texas because of two factors. The men's team welcomes seven new runners, while the women has four new members this fall. Also, Parent didn't oversee the runners' summer workouts. Frankie Simon returns as the No. 1 runner for the Bronchos. Abel Kahuni, Darrell Jeffries, David Riden, Josh Gingrich, Jared Lovett and Matt Stuart fill out the top seven runners, who will run in the conference meet. Parent said that Jeffries could push Kahuni for the second position.
Kate Samarija is the top runner for the Lady Bronchos, while Stacie Ayers, Andrea Haley, Chericka Bartells and Lezlie Zielny make up the top six. The seventh runner will be chosen from the four newcomers—Lacy Amen, Tricia Beeby, Mandy Sims and Jenny Thompson. Parent said that Bartells is battling a recurring knee injury. Despite the new teams, Parent thinks that Abilene Christian (Texas) should still be on top of the conference. Parent said that the UCO men should compete with three other teams for the second spot while the women will compete among the lower division teams. "It's going to make our conference a lot stronger," said Parent. "Any time you bring in more people, you have a chance of becoming a bigger and stronger conference. Our conference is pretty tough." Parent said the team's first meet will attract the region's premier teams. The South Central Regional will also be in Canyon, Texas. "It's always been tough because everybody wants to run on the meet site," he said. OD

Sebadoh's Harmacy beats out hasty retreat Rock journalists moonlighting as pop psychologists have written reams about how Sebadoh provides some kind of aural profile of young men in the `90s, with Lou Barlow generally personifying conflicted, doubt-ridden sensitive guys and Jason Loewenstein representing the tougher, more cynical side of the modern male psyche. There are more than a few grains of truth in that analysis, but it also gives the impression that Sebadoh leads the drumbeating sessions at those male bonding retreats out in the woods. In reality, the only reason that Sebadoh's lyrics get so much attention is that its music is so compelling. On that count, Harmacy
finds its leading men in fine form. Barlow sets many of his tales of romantic befuddlement to shimmering yet slightly buzzing melodies. He also creates some straightforward pop gem's, like the practically perfect Ocean. Loewenstein's work swaggers a bit more, with guitars clanging through amiable modern garage rock. Harmacy does, however, contain a few jokey instrumentals and raveups; these toss-aways end up sounding like self-conscious efforts to undercut the genuine emotion and artistry found throughout the rest of this disc. Hmm... say something thoughtful and brave, then beat a hasty retreatby cracking wise. What a guy thing to do. —College Press Service

Gas well spells savings for UCO By Gayleen Langthorn Managing Editor
i
nstead of digging deeper into taxpayers pockets to support UCO, administrators went underground to find savings for the university this semester. The Central Plant, which heats and cools several. of UCO's buildings, will burn natural gas produced on campus starting in October, said Nick Widener, who oversees special projects at UCO. Baron Exploration Company of Edmond will produce Broncho I, located east of Wantland Stadium. Baron leased the mineral rights from UCO about six years ago, Widener said. UCO held an auction for the rights and Baron was the highest bidder. Another company, Lance Russel Oil and Gas Corporation drilled a well last fall, but decided not to produce it. After the Central Plant began operating, UCO approached Baron about producing the well. "It seemed to me a reasonable thing to work out a way to purchase gas to use in the Central Plant," Widener said. UCO took the attitude "we've got a source to make it feasible for you to produce it," he said. Under Oklahoma law, UCO can collect its royalties either in cash or in gas. "Part of the gas we'll be consuming will be ours," Widener said. The contract UCO has signed

Central Plant. Widener said Ayers Street will remain open while the pipeline is being laid. "They will bore under the street—we're not going to dig it up." The drying plant will be constructed off-site and then transported to UCO. The plant lowers the temperature of the gas which makes the impurities separate from the gas, said Chris Hoke, president of Baron Exploration in an interview in June. Hoke estimated the plant would be 15 feet by 20 feet in area. It's expected that over the years UCO's consumption of natural gas will increase as more buildings are added to the hydronic loop system fed by the Central Plant. Currently the Max Chambers Library, the Human Environmental Sciences Building and the Education Building are served by the Central Plant. Plans are underway to add Thatcher Hall to the loop by January 1997 with the rest of UCO's buildings slated to go on the loop during the next five to _ten years. "Baron has the option for a second well," Widener said. The planned location of the second site is north of the fire station. Widener said natural gas is cleaner and more efficient than other energy sources. "I think it's good whether its UCO's gas or someone else's."

student's shoulders and their knees are buckling beneath the weight of staggering course loads. But an avenue of intellectual and aesthetic escape lies open to those interested in art and likeminded companionship. The UCO Art Club is currently comprised of approximately 20 members under the leadership of Kris Henthorn and Zena Asseff, president and vice president respectively. They will be meeting at 11:30 a.m. today, Sept. 5 in the art lobby. Topics open to debate include the planning of a field trip to the Fort Worth museums and galleries, bringing in local artists to reveal real life in the world of art, fund raisers and of course dues, five dollars. "You don't have to be an artist, just appreciate art," said Henthorn on the requirements for joining the club. The meetings will continue to occur every other Thursday. Those interested in more information on the UCO Art Club can drop by the art lobby almost anytime and inquire.
