T
he General Classroom Buiilding came down without a lot of fanfare this week. Though some people were upset to lose the valuable classroom space, others are looking forward to the possibility of replacing it with a building that will better meet the needs of a growing university. Located in the heart of the campus, the site is the perfect place for a centerpiece attraction—an architectural showcase. If properly designed and planned, the project could tie together all the renovation and construction of the past few years. Whether or not a new building goes up, there is no question that the old one had to go. The old building was plagued with asbestos, health hazards and expensive maintenance problems, not to mention out-ofdate American Disability Act standards. We are a growing university and growth brings about change. Change isn't always easy, but it can be a good thing. OD

LETTERS
Reader appalled by `good-old-boy rhetoric' This letter is in reference to a story that ran in the August 21st addition of The Vista. The article was entitled "Women in the ranks: co-ed military results in lowered standar6, increased danger for soldiers," by Steven Wedel. As a female civilian employee of the Department of Defense, I was appalled to read the untruths and "good-old-boy rhetoric" written by Wedel. As someone who is familiar with the military world, I can assure readers that Wedel's article only provides a fictitious account of the military lifestyle, as well as inaccurate "research" of how our military system is less successful due to the inclusion of women. From a "hormonally-charged, adolescent" viewpoint, as Mr. Wedel explains, there is an obvious difference between men and women. Perhaps this is true, when comparing anatomy. Fortunately for the 232,600 women in our armed forces, our government does not examine anatomy when recruiting military personnel. Therefore, the "idea of obvious biological differences between men and women," is based solely on the opinion of someone who has the typical "women should stay at home attitude," instead of someone who can lend credibility to our nation's defense program. The idea of social experimentation within the military is also laughingly false. The military is "a place where opposite sexes are supposed to get along with each other." In fact, the military is a regular job, like flipping burgers at McDonald's, testing new cancer research in a laboratory, or writing articles for the school newpaper. Don't all career fields require males and females to cooperate within the workplace? What makes the military any different? The military also serves multiple functions, in both war and peacetime, but according to Wedel's definition, the military only serves one function: "to kill the enemy and destroy their property." If that is the military mission, what are the armed forces doing right now, Mr. Wedel? Swimming to Cuba, so they can blow up Fidel Castro's house and then quickly swimming back to get a medal of honor? If more time was spent researching this topic, Wedel would have found that the military serves in multiple capacities, from installing cable for telephone lines, to serving in medical fields, to writing speeches for
colonels and commanders. Every individual in the military serves a different purpose and don't go around throwing grenades in attempt to sabotage the enemy. As a matter of fact, the first female American warrior, Mary Ludwig Hays, replaced her husband's artillery post, after he was wounded during the Revolutionary War. Yes-that's right - women served in the Revolutionary War (perhaps someone should schedule a women's history class for Wedel next semester), and not as a result of feministic pressure. Hays act of courageousness only goes to prove, that when the chips are down, you can depend on women. Courage, Mr. Wedel, hath no gender. During World War II, there were nearly 350,000 women in Army uniforms, alone. Had women like Janet Flaner or May Craig, who were World War II journalists, lived to read this article, they would be disappointed that people like Mr. Wedel are still around complaining about them, decades after the fact. As for military basic training, the Army does not require "recruits to do 20 push-ups, while females do six." The capability of every man and woman is different, which anyone enrolled in a physical education class could tell you. In fact, the standards for females are generally higher than that for men, according to the Women's Research and Education Institute, in Washington, D. C. Women are also graded differently than men, so to compare the two does not equate to factual journalism. Furthermore, our government has never lowered their standards in order to let women in the military. The government does not let anyone into the services, unless they are 110% qualified to function in a military capacity. When these prerequisites are not met, punishment does not involve the revoking of television privileges, such as the "Martha Stewart" show, nor do they request the services of Dr. Laura or Miss Manners. Instead, military punishment comes in the form of dishonorable discharge, which is what the editor should have done to Wedel's column. Women will never be the downfall of our country's military- in fact, the Air Force is being led by a female as we speak- Dr. Shelia Widnall, who

HALEY continued from front page process because it wasn't something he was used to. "Everyone (the players) pretty much feels the same way and everyone is learning," said Haley. The Chandler, Okla. native came to UCO last year from Redlands Community College and said he wanted to return to UCO to finish his degree because he likes the school and is familiar
with it. He said he'll have to work his school schedule around his baseball career and finish his degree in the off-season. Haley said he's been playing baseball ever since he could pick up a ball and had always dreamed of playing professional baseball. His father was his little league coach growing up, then became a supportive baseball dad, he said.
Haley said he didn't have a baseball hero growing up. "I never had a big idol, but if I had to pick one, it would be Ozzie Smith," he said. Haley said he isn't entirely sure where the future will take him, but he wants to continue to play baseball. "I want to move up as fast as I can, it just depends on how it goes. I just want to
play until they tell me I can't," he said. He'll return to spring training in March for three weeks in Winterhaven, Fla. From there he will go to one of the affiliate teams. Haley said he'd eventually like to return to Oklahoma and work as a sports information director. One way or another, Ryan Haley will always have baseball in his life.
UCO's Sara Orwig's new novel on bestseller list By Steven E. Wedel
Staff Writer UCO writing instructor Sara Orwig has added another credit to her long list of achievements. Her fiftieth romance novel, Babes in Arms, entered the USA Today bestseller list at number 137 this week. The book also reached number five on Waldenbooks series bestseller list. Babes in Arms was a September release for the Desire category of
publisher Silhouette. Donita Lawrence, owner of Bell Book & Candle bookstore in Del City, said Orwig's book is currently the number two bestseller at her store.

UCO College Republicans gain new membership By Steven E. Wedel
Staff Writer "The UCO College Republicans (CR) will no longer be a silent organization on campus," said group president, John Smaligo. Students seem to be responding well to the organization's new attitude, Smaligo said. "With the freshman orientation and the campus information fair, our membership climbed to 126," said Smaligo. Last year the organization had only five members, he said. "The Republican population has always been here," he said. "We just hadn't made the concerted effort to harness the abilities of that population. We're doing that now." Smaligo said the group will be holding monthly meetings on campus throughout the academic year and hope to have several well-known conservative personalities as guest speakers. "We will be informing our membership about the candidates running for public office, as well as the issues facing us now," Smaligo said. "We will also provide a means for our members to interact with the elected officials who make the laws." Smaligo said he believes that conservative ideas have not been given the attention they deserve on the UCO campus. "Liberalism is on the surface enough that the conservative Republican ideas need to be put out to counter that effect," he said.

The building was constructed in 1948 as an Industrial Arts Building. Until evacuation this summer,art classes, industrial art classes and faculty offices were housed in the building. Midwest Wrecking Company, of Oklahoma City, began the five-day demolition process Sept. 5.

S. military will be maintained as long as we have worthy men and women, willing to serve in a capacity which both protects and guides this country. It is, however, the "good-old-boy" attitudes, like those held by Mr. Wedel, which allows us to filter out the undesirables (or people who concoct fictitious military problems), from those who have a General concern about the welfare of our country. Perhaps Mr. Wedel has good reason to be scared-afterall, OUR standards have not been lowered. His, on the other hand, where never high to begin with.

UCO's Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) found out Monday that collecting used phone books on campus to recycle is no small task. Members of PRSSA went around campus in search of last year's phone books and came up with more than they thought they would, said President Angie Schneider. "It was a lot of work, but it paid off. We'd rather recycle the phone books than have people just throw them away," said Schneider. They collected a total of 75 phone books, weighing over 200 pounds, said Schneider. Some departments didn't have

phone books to donate because they had already thrown them away, she said. "Overall I think it was a success, but next year I hope more people save them for us to recycle," said Schneider. Departments that didn't give PRSSA last year's phone books haven't received new ones yet. Offices that still have phone books to be picked up can call Tamara Schones at 341-2980, Ext. 5918 to schedule a time for pickup. PRSSA officers took the phone books to the Hafer Park recycling center in Edmond. PRSSA plans to make this a yearly project and will notify campus offices prior to the recycle date next year, said Schneider. OD

CO is in the process . of modifying the locks on fire doors in all residence halls due to problems firefighters had with the doors when 'entering West Hall to put out a small fire at the beginning of the semester. At approximately 2 p.m. on Aug.15, a West Hall resident called the fire department to report smoke coming from a light fixture in her room, according to the UCO Department of Public Safety. Chief John Gibbon of the Edmond Fire Department, Station One, said he and other firefighters on his shift responded to the call. After the West Hall fire alarm was sounded and residents had evacuated, firefighters entered the building, but had problems opening some stairwell fire doors which lacked mechanisms for opening them on the stairwell side, Gibbon said.
RECYCLING FACTS According to Pennsylvania's recycling website on the Internet, there are several reasons to recycle paper: • Quality products can be made using recycled paper as a fiber source. • It helps with what would otherwise be an expensive disposal problem for industry, commerce and municipal authorities. • Landfill sites are becoming difficult to find and costly to operate. • Jobs are created for people employed in collecting and marketing recyclable paper. • Americans will generate 218 million tons of waste by 2000 and 152 million tons is expected to be disposed of in landfills and incinerators. • Recycling paper cuts air pollution by about 75 percent. • Recycling paper cuts energy usage in half.
"When firefighters went into the stairwells, they couldn't get back out (into the hallways) without having to force the doors," Gibbon said. Carroll Van Duyn, director of resident housing at UCO, said the fire doors in all three dormitories have a magnetic device which holds them open in normal situations. The magnets release when a fire alarm is pulled, allowing the doors to pull themselves shut. Closed fire doors help contain smoke and fire into one area of the building, Van Duyn said. "What has happened is, through some misunderstanding, some of the doors had a locking mechanism installed in them (such) that, when the doors shut, they became locked from the stairwell side," Van Duyn said. Gibbons and Van Duyn both said that the locked fire doors did not pose a threat to student safety, since each stairwell has an unlocked exit
to the outside. Furthermore, the locked doors did not pose a threat to Station One firefighters, Gibbons said. "We have all the equipment to force open doors. It's just an issue of property damage. We don't want to damage anything we don't have to," he said. Shortly after the incident, Station One firefighters and members of the Edmond Fire Prevention Bureau met with UCO resident housing and safety personnel to discuss the problem. Van Duyn said that, in response, UCO's locksmith will be adding hardware to fire doors in all residence halls. This hardware will allow the doors to be opened from either side. Van Duyn said all the modifications should be complete by the end of next week. —By Ryan Dannar

Society's sordid curiosity to blame for tasteless media hype
W
e are a sick society. We have degenerated to a point where nothing shocks us, and even worse, we rush to the trough of inequity like hogs to the slop. Look at the popularity of daytime television talk shows if you need an example of what I mean. Do we really need to share in the drama experienced by a lesbian who finds out her lover is really a man who might even be her long-lost brother? Maybe the whole thing's a sham. I hope so. I hate to think people are really so immodest they would allow such actual humiliation on national television. Maybe they're actors being paid for performing a role. It is still a shame we, the viewing public, watch such things with enough regularity that the talk shows can afford to pay the people on the stage. But we can't confine bad taste to the arena of television. Look at the New York Times (NYT) non-fiction bestseller list. The list is filled with titles bearing the names of people

who have become infamous because of their association with some outrageous incident or person. Over the past year we have been overwhelmed with books about O.J. Simpson and the "trial of the century." I don't know how many books were written about that event—I don't care. But most of them made the NYT bestseller list. People flocked to the bookstores to grab Mark Fuhrman's story, or Marsha Clark's story. Why? It's sad to say, but people kill their spouses, or ex-spouses, pretty regularly. Why was the Simpson trial so different? Because of °J.'s celebrity status? Why are we so obsessed with celebrities? They're not any different than the rest of us. They're mortal, just like us. If you don't believe that, just turn on the news. The "mostphotographed woman in the world" died last week because
our lust to know every tiny detail of her personal life drove ruthless photographers to literally chase Princess Diana to her death. Why did we care if she had a boyfriend? So what if he proposed to her. It wasn't our business. Now she's dead and we're trying to place the blame on the photographers we wanted out there prying into every aspect of her personal life. Then we have Stephen Jones, former attorney for convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who has signed a book deal that reportedly should allow him a very comfortable retirement. It's a sure bet his book will make the bestseller lists. No matter that he lost the case. It would appear that he believes McVeigh is innocent, although a jury convicted and sentenced McVeigh to death. What can Jones tell us that is worth the $25 it will probably cost to buy his book?

■
Nothing I care to know. But, since he was involved with a sensational criminal trial, he is now a celebrity. I'm sure there are people who would pay for a list of breakfast foods Jones ate while working on the trial. Who cares? In my opinion, unless he writes an account of a personal confession made by McVeigh, he has nothing to say beyond what he said in the courtroom. Should I dare go off on a tangent about how these celebrity authors seldom really write the books that bear their names? Clark didn't write hers. The same is true for the majority of the other titles. And yet the celebrity "authors" are raking in the royalties. The whole mess needs to stop. I'm not suggesting these books and television shows and tabloid papers be burned or banned. I'd never advocate such a thing. But we, as a society, should examine the material we are supporting with our money and ask ourselves if a picture of Princess Diana with her boyfriend was worth her life. OD

T
he UCO football team opens the `97 Lone Star Conference season Saturday against No. 3ranked Texas A&M-Kingsville in a matchup of two top ten teams. It's certainley going to be a tough game, anytime you play a team like Kingsville it's going to be a challenge," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. The injury plagued Bronchos, who have already lost All-American linebacker Johnny Luter for the season, will lose one more player for the season and two more players for several weeks. Senior tailback Zach Leonard,will have career ending knee surgery after injuring the knee in a pre-season scrimmage. Starting linebacker Brian Morton is
out for up to four weeks with a shoulder injury, while sophomore tailback Reggie Donner will miss at least two weeks with a shoulder injury. The Bronchos, 1-0, jumped from 12th to 6th in the latest NCAA Division II poll after defeating Nortwestern Oklahoma last week 23-0. Texas A&M-Kingsville, the five-timedefending Lone Star Conference champions, will be playing their season opener. Last season the Javelinas posted an 8-3 record and lost in the first round of the NCAA Div. playoffs last season. The Javelinas enter Saturday's game with a 30-game Lone Star Conference winning streak, having not lost a league game since the 1991 season. Texas A&M-Kingsville holds a 13-1 series record against UCO including a 35-7 victory last season over the Bronchos.

Volleyball team to open conference play, O'Neill earns weekly award By Darrell J. Weidner
Sports Writer
T
he Central Oklahoma Bronchos Volleyball team will open Lone Star Conference play against the Texas Woman's Pioneers Friday, in Denton, Texas. Texas Woman's has gotten to a rocky start for the '97 season winning only two of eight games they have played. The Pioneers lead Central Oklahoma in the series 14-4. Saturday, the Bronchos will face the Texas A&M-Commerce Lions.
The Lions are trying to recover from a 7-27 season last year. The Lions lead the series 13-8 against the Bronchos. The Bronchos are coming into LSC play with a record of 7-1, their longest winning streak since the '94 LSC Championship season. The squad's seven victories have earned them two tournament titles already this year. Two Bronchos have captured the LSCNorth Div. Hitter of the Week honor two weeks running. Senior Kate O'Neill earned the honor

Junior Amber Bateman received the honor last week for her performance in the Tarleton State Invitational over the Labor Day weekend. The Bronchos will open LSC play with out right side hitter Dee Goble. The San Antonio sophomore is out due to a back injury, and will probably be redshirted for the season.

The Full Monty surprises with depth, subtlety By Ryan Dannar Staff Writer Full Monty is a witty and surprisingly subtle comedy about six down-and-out Yorkshire men who form an unlikely striptease act in order to earn some badly-needed cash. Gaz, played by Robert Carlyle, is an unemployed industrial worker facing the loss of custody rights to his son, Nathan, because he owes 750 pounds in child support payments to his ex-wife. He is a thin man of boundless but often misdirected energy. He loves his son dearly, but has alienated him through his harebrained ideas and shady escapades. Carlyle plays the part with a glimmer in his eye and a strong undercurrent of desperation. Dave, played by a quiet and mopey Mark Addy, is Gaz's unemployed best friend. Dave is a bear of a man, and becomes the voice of reason whenever Gaz's ideas get too far-fetched. Dave's insecurities about hi-
