UCO kicks off homecoming Makes plans to announce first-ever 'royal couple;' Parade, barbecue & bonfire ignite Broncho spirit By Julie Dye Staff Writer For the first time in the University of Central Oklahoma's history, a homecoming king will escort the queen to the season's most prestigious football game. UCO has never had a homecoming king in the past, and this year a competition for king will be sponsored by the Association of Women Students and the Student Government Association. The crowning of homecoming king and queen is just one of the many activities taking place next week in preparation for the game against Langston University Sept. 24. "Most people don't remember, but there used to be a real rivalry between Langston and UCO," said Donna Peters, director of Alumni Affairs. "I think it might be starting up again." Other homecoming events will have students yucking it up from Sept. 19 through 23 in the Laff Olympics, a skewed version of the real thing that features mud volleyball, book bag relay and a day-long treasure hunt. Students forming teams should have their paperwork in to the University Center Activities Board (UCAB) by Sept. 14 to participate. The winning team receives $450.

A 5-K run, also sponsored by UCAB, will be held homecoming morning at 8 a.m. "We will have a fast course around the perimeter of UCO," said Tammy Wilson of UCAB. Entry fees are $15 through Sept. 23 and $20 the day of the run. All who enter will get a free tshirt. Students may also participate in the Alumni golf tournament, held Friday, Sept. 23. Registration fee is $50 and benefits the Letterman's Club. Later that evening, a banquet in the University Center Grand Ballroom to honor Distinguished Former Students takes place. At 9 p.m. on the east lawn of Hamilton Fieldhouse, homecoming candidates will be introduced preceding a bonfire and pep rally. Candidates have already gone through the interview process, and three men and three women have been chosen to compete for king and queen, Peters said. Students will choose between them Sept. 15 and 16. Peters said each of the royal pair will receive a $500 award when their names are announced during half-time of the game. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m., but Peters

said students should arrive early for a parade and an all-you-can-eat barbecue lunch sponsored by the Alumni Association. Lunch will be served from 11:30 to 1:30. Cost is $6 for students with ID, and $10 for the public. The parade begins at 11 a.m. at the library on Ayres St., heads south down Broadway to Second St. and ends up at the university. Campus organizations and offices are entering floats in the parade for prizes and prestige. The student organization whose float places first in the competition receives $500. Second place winners take home $300 and third place garners $100. A traveling trophy and $200 award will be given to the faculty/staff winner. Peters said all float teams will be reimbursed up to $100 of their costs by showing receipts.

Election candidates against tuition hike By Mike Erwin Staff Writer The bad news for students is that higher education's share of total state appropriations is 15.13 percent for the fiscal year of 1995. That's the smallest it's been in 16 years, according to the Office of State Finance. The good news is that Oklahoma's four gubernatorial candidates are reluctant to raise tuition to increase funding. This message was given to a group of educators at the Higher Education Alumni

Council Issues Forum Sept. 7 at the House of Representatives in the State Capitol. Republican Frank Keating, Democrat Jack Mildren, Democrat Bernice Shedrick and Independent Wes Watkins each voiced an unwillingness to raise tuition. Shedrick was the only candidate to not completely dismiss the idea, although she didn't favor it. She called for the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education to present a fiveyear tuition plan so students and their parents can assess potential costs.

However, she warned the assembled representatives of higher education that increased tuition could take away chances for potential students. "I would have an open-door policy," she said, "as long as the students have increased opportunities for financial aid." Mildren, who faces Shedrick in the Democratic Primary run-off Sept. 20, also opposed tuition hikes. Before raising tuition, the state must make sure it is spending money wisely on higher education, said Mildren. Costs should remain level for students

according to Keating. "We are all enriched if young people can go to college," said Keating. The public must be sold on higher education before tuition can be raised, said Watkins. The candidates agreed that if tuition isn't going to be increased, other ways will have to be found to generate money for higher education.

Athletic events thrown for a loss in attendance

g g ight, boys, fight for UCO! Fight boys, fight today, fight for the team, boys, all full of steam, boys, hear our cheers for you! Rah! Rah! Rah!" If this seems foreign to most, perhaps it is. It's part of the University of Central Oklahoma fight song. UCO is the fourth largest university in Oklahoma, yet support of our athletic department is sadly lacking. With over 16,000 students enrolled and attending classes, one would expect a larger turnout at the opening football game with Mesa State where only a little over 2000 fans "packed" Wantland Stadium, and UCO won 30-8. And though UCO is considered a commuter school, the low attendance is even more amazing because Edmond still has a growing population of more than 60,000 spread over 90 square miles. The cost of attending an athletic event at UCO is simple: just have a valid student or faculty I.D. to get in free. The University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University both charge their students and faculty for any athletic event. Each of the two universities discount their students for the price of admission, but at UCO — it's still free. The actual cost of attending any event at UCO is considerably less than these two state institutions. In 1994, the UCO wrestling team won the school's 11th national championship and third consecutive, while the football team in 1993 was ranked as high as No. 10 in the NCAA II poll, The men's and women's basketball teams each had respectable seasons last year, with the men winning the Lone Star Conference for the third straight year. The Broncho baseball team made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA II baseball championship, and the volleyball, golf, softball, tennis and track and field made an impact in their respective sports. With a successful athletic department, why is the attendance and support waning ? Some students don't even realize that UCO has an athletic program. Maybe more advertising and promotion would entice fans to attend the athletic events. Even though UCO is a division II school and it may be years before we move to prime time, our athletes should enjoy the support of their fellow students and the local community.

College newspaper editor falls prey to administrative censorship crunch This letter is in regards to The Vista article entitled "Censored? Taking words from the mouths of college news presses" printed in the August 30 issue. I am a student at Redlands Community College in El Reno, OK. I was the Editorin-Chief of The Journal, our student newspaper. Last year, we questioned our administration about student activity fees and were denied access to public information until The Student Press Law Center and Freedom of Information, Oklahoma became involved. Upon returning to Redlands this semester, I learned that our Newspaper Advisor, Kelly Rupp, had been removed from her position and new advisor, Josh O'Brien, had been hired.

Josh was not familiar with our computer system, did not know how to do paste-up, and knew nothing about photography or the darkroom. The first day he stated that he viewed himself as the Executive Editor and me as the managing Editor. After one week passed, I decided to resign my position. I did not feel it was my duty to teach the new advisor and the new students everything. Josh O'Brien went to our college president, Dr. Larry Devane, and advised him that the best thing to do would be to shut down The Journal completely. That is just what happened. I believed that we at Redlands were the only student journalists facing this type of problem. After reading your article, I now believe

it is a statewide problem. Apparently, many Oklahoma college administrators are concerned more with the image of their institutions rather than abiding by the First Amendment of the US. constitution. This is definitely a problem that must be solved. Thomas Jefferson said, "Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe." It is evident that Oklahoma students are not safe. This is a conflict which all Oklahoma journalism students need to address and resolve. Our future depends upon it. It may be time for all Oklahoma journalism students to join together to protect our First Amendment rights. Thank you for your article. Brent Wilcox

Editor's Note: the letters page is the "student's forum." This is your chance to responsibly "get it out." If anyone has a problem, complaint, compliment—anything—they are strongly encouraged to put it down on paper and bring it in to the Vista Office, in the Communications Building, Room 107. Please, write a letter. Hand write it, type it; jot it down. Two paragraphs or three pages, it makes no difference, just sign your name on it and bring it in yourself. Your thoughts are always welcome. We have heard a barrage of comments about the university as people pass through our office, and we take all of them seriously. The Vista is here not only to listen when people feel they have been ignored or are frustrated, but to report things that are new, unusual, or detrimental to the students, staff, or faculty attending this university. The only problem is, we can't print it if we don't have it. We will print every letter we receive, within good taste. Every one. Any questions? Glance through the mast head (left of this box), or call the editor at 3412980, Ext. 5915. Thank you.

Oh, 'brother'— fraternity member upset about column This letter was written in response to the column written by Paul Eddy printed in the Sept. 1 issue of The Vista. I know that many times it is necessary for the press to attack different groups in order to prey on divisions in society and thus create readers. I'd like to address a few of the myths spelled out in that column. Most of the education that an undergraduate receives from a good program is not obtained from the classroom. People not involved in extracurricular activities I feel are missing a vital part of their education. Although high grades are a priority, networking, team play, and people skills are everything in the job market. Graduates that cannot demonstrate a real proficiency in dealing with others are at a severe disadvantage. Fraternities teach responsibil-

ity on many levels through organized and intense team effort to accomplish goals. Things like organized study sessions (Greeks are consistently above the rest of students in academics) and the good role models of alumni active in their community allow Greek graduates the potential for leadership capabilities in all walks of life. Fraternities offer nation-wide

career networking, and fraternity men are many of the leaders in American society today. Right now Kappa Sigmas are the owners or CEO's of organizations like General Motors, Chrysler, 3M, Dow Chemical, Hewlett Packard, the Minnesota Twins, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys. People like Bob Dole and the late Sen. John Tower provide leadership in our

government, and men like C. William McKee, our formal national president and Baptist minister, provide religious and moral leadership. He would probably be confused as to why he could be characterized as a "lost soul." Don't look now, but you may have been instructed by a fraternity man at UCO like Dr. Larry Foster, Dr. Tom Trittipo (both Kappa Sigmas in the

College of Business,) or Dr. David Hart (retired in May from the College of Math and Science,) and Dr. Woody Gaddis of the journalism department. I do agree that there are many organizations to be involved in and that undergraduates should explore their possibilities in many groups.

Cartoons Capture College Campuses By Paul Eddy

Staff Writer Cartoons—those delightful animated sequences of imagination which captivate the youth of America on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings, have become a fad with many high school and college students.

Column The humor in many cartoons is now directed over the heads of the innocent wide-eyed babes and into the laps of the more worldly viewer. Steven Spielberg's "Animaniacs" is a wonderful example of a two-level program. It has plenty of slapstick and jokes that children can comprehend, but there are jokes that are directed at the older portion of the audience, and references and parodies of old movies like "Citizen Kane" and "West Side Story." Some of the new cartoons, like Tim Burton's "Batman the Animated Series" feature heroes that are popular with all ages. Of course, the old favorites are resurfacing in colleges across the nation on hats, shirts and jeans. There is also a darker side of cartoons, one that features violence and sex in epic proportions "Heavy Metal" comes to mind, along with many of the "Japanimation" titles "Akira," "Fists of the Northstar," "Bubble Gum Crisis" and "Magna Corps." Still, some of my favorite animation is not the dark grim world represented in the more graphic films. Instead, when the magic hour approaches, I flip on the television and sit back and watch the same cartoons my friend's 4-year-old brother does, but then so does my friend. And my friends and I have often talked for hours about the antics of Babs and Buster Bunny, (no relation) instead of more accepted conversational subjects. Cartoons will be around for a long time. Hopefully, more and more people will take a break to enjoy the simplicity and complexity offered by animation, but please, no attempts at making movies out of anymore cartoons. I used to like the "Flintstones" and B-52's. A

BSA celebrates 25 years of growth By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer In 1969, a group of African American students believed they needed an organization that enabled them to feel at home and at peace with society's pressures. That year, the Black Student Association (BSA) was formed, said Robert Page, executive

director of the BSA. This year, the BSA celebrates its 25th anniversary by recognizing former leaders and members of the organization at the "Portrait of Success Dinner and Gospel Extravaganza" to be held on Sept. 23, said Page. The keynote speaker at the dinner will be Russell Perry. Perry is the owner and

founder of the Black Chronicle newspaper and Power Jammin' 1140 AM, Oklahoma's only black music radio station, Page said. "The BSA is coming off a record breaking year and stands once again poised to reassume its role as the positive voice for African Americans on this campus. We now have 130 mem-

hers," added Page. Leaders of the organization who were recently sworn in for the 1994-1995 year are: LaKrista Page, president; Geraldine Jones, vice president; Krystal McKinely, secretary; and Joy Howard, treasurer. For more information, call LaKrista Page at 341-2980, Ext. 5263.

Those dirty beaches:

Conservation group sweeps cluttered shorelines WASHINGTON — Combing beaches and along inland waterways, volunteers found a rusted cookie sheet, suitcases, a 5pound pack of cocaine, a lottery ticket, 6, 636 condoms and enough cigarette butts to stretch 28 miles if placed end to end. Those were only a few of the 7.3 million pieces of trash, debris and other discarded wastes collected and catalogued by volunteers for the Center for Marine Conservation in the group's sixth annual beach and waterway cleanup.

More than 158,000 volunteers covered 4,500 miles of shoreline in 32 states and two territories during the cleanup. A similar cleanup is planned for later this fall. A volunteer in Texas even uncovered a 5-pound bag of cocaine labeled "radioactive." "This report is not about trash, it's about people. People are the ones who pollute the ocean water," said Roger McManus, president of the Center for Marine Conservation, The center, an environmental

group that works to protect marine wildlife and their habitat, has sponsored an annual volunteer beach cleanup program since 1988. There were fewer plastic items than in previous years, suggesting an impact from recycling and state bottle-deposit laws. "Cruise ships and other offshore sources are no longer the

major contributors to the (beach trash) problem," said Kathy O'Hara, director of the collection program. But trash and wastes from land-based sources are continuing to increase, she added. In California, cleanup crews collected more trash in bays, marshes and streams than on the state's miles of ocean beaches.

UCO music station finds `alternative' call letters & sponsors art contest for revamping of logo

tudent Marty Johnson (left) and professional comedian Jimmy Shubert (right) kept a small crowd in stitches last Thursday night during "Comedy at Club Central." The event, sponsored by the Student Programming Board, was held in the University Center. Johnson, a UCO sophomore, regularly performs an act at Laffs Comedy Warehouse in Bricktown. His material is gleaned from the humorous aspects of growing up, college life, driving and old people. Johnson said he will perform for the Student Programming Board again later this semester.

By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma's student radio station KUCO 99.9 FM, formerly KBLZ, is sponsoring an art contest for a new logo and promotions such as autographed CD's and poster give aways throughout the fall semester to publicize the change of the call letters and the station. The alternative format station changed the call letters this semester because of confusion between another station in Omaha, Neb. using KBLZ "It will tag the school a little bit," said J.J. Thomas, program director and radio personality at KUCO. "It is the least we can do to show support for the school." The name change will be official at the end of October. To go with the name change, KUCO will be spon.

coring an art contest for a new logo and possibly a mascot, said Kelly Douglas, KUCO radio personality. "We are looking for something along the line of Buddy Broncho but a little more hip," said Douglas. The station will be giving away prizes all semester on the air. Prizes will be promotional items autographed by bands such as Meat Puppets, James and Texas. "We've got a lot of good stuff to give away," said Douglas. In addition to the new name, the station will be adding a new alternative radio show "Guerrilla Network" on Fridays. Douglas describes "Guerrilla Network" as a show that brings in unsigned and up—and— coming artists to play live and be interviewed. KUCO can only be heard in the dorms on campus on frequency 99.9 and on Edmond digital cable 93.7.

Update: Oklahoman 'bear-ly' escapes attack GLORIETA. N.M. (AP) — An Oklahoma man camping here was bitten by a black bear, the New Mexico Game and Fish Department says. David Smith, 42, of Lawton suffered a dime-sized puncture wound above his left elbow Sunday. He was treated at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe and released. Game and Fish said the bear left the area after the incident and has not been found. Smith was sitting in a tent with other campers when he felt something brush up against the tent. Smith reached out of the tent and was bitten by the bear. The bear apparently w as startled and bit the camper in a reflexive action, - the department said. Earlier this summer, a bear w as tracked down and destroyed after biting a 10-year-old boy near Silver City.

✓ The new thermo-storage tank, a reservoir for the heating and cooling lines, is near completion. ✓ Construction for the new central plant will begin soon. It will be located just south of the thermo-storage tank at the corner of Ayers and Edwards streets. ✓ Sewage lines are being laid west of the Communication Building in the roped off area. ✓ Concrete companies have finished the drainage ditches for the new soccer field, located southeast of the Hamilton Fieldhouse. The physical plant will begin grassing the area in the near future. ✓ The physical plant is grassing the lot east of the communication building with rye grass. The grass, although eventually to be replaced, will act as a temporary cover preventing mud washout and buildup and minimizing dust on windy days. ✓ No construction should cause additional inconveniences for students at this time.

White buffalo born in Wisconsin JANESVILLE. Wis. (AP) David Heider posted visiting hours at his southern Wisconsin bison farm after hundreds of strangers trampled his fields to see a rare white buffalo calf born last month. Heider and his wife. Valerie. have adopted security rules to accommodate the crowds trying to view the calf as it stays near its 1.100-pound mother and about 13 other head of bison in a pasture. "There are so many people coming at all hours of the day and night. all wanting to see the calf Heider said. ''You hate to tell people no, but it was just getting ridiculous."' Visitors are allowed to look for the calf from the lower end of the pasture. Heider said he would spread feed and fresh alfalfa near the gate to attract the herd during visiting hours. The rules forbid photographs. "There are so many people trying to make a buck off of this it's unreal,' he said. Heider said he spoke with a photographer to produce post cards of the calf, which could be sold to visitors. "We've had several people wanting to come up and take pictures of the calf to sell. We just had to cut it off somewhere and this was it. We're not trying to make a profit off of this, but we don't want anyone else to either. Money made from the postcards would go into a trust set up at a Janesville bank for the maintenance of the white bison. he said. The American Bison Association said the last known white buffalo died in 1959.

High school teacher shot in Kansas NEWTON, Kan. (AP) — A high school drama teacher was shot to death in a grocery store as dozens of people watched, authorities said. Witnesses and friends of the deceased identified the victim in Thursday night's shooting as Thomas Zook, Newton High School's drama teacher. According to witnesses, the shooting happened about 9:30 p.m. when Zook was escorted into the south entrance of the north Dillons store by a man who held a shotgun at Zook's back. The gunman raised the shotgun to the hack of Zook's head, said, "Kiss him goodbye, folks," and fired once, one witness said. The gunman then fled, witnesses said. Authorities in Newton and neighboring counties were on the lookout for Zook's stepson, identified as Christopher Zook, 25, the Wichita Eagle reported. School Superintendent Willis Heck, contacted at home late Thursday, said he was told a teacher had been killed. Plans had been set in motion, he said, to help students and faculty members deal with the loss at school today. "We are getting our crisis team organized," he said.

CLEP tests boost credit-earning, graduating power By Julie Dye

Staff Writer

TUITION

Center to take a CLEP test. A list of resource materials to study from is provided, she said. ✓ Coordinator of the Testing Center John Malone said students are required to pass the tests with 70 percent accuracy. "If a student passes a test, the credit is added to their transcript as a `13,' Malone said. There are no grades, and passage of the test is not included as part of the student's overall grade point average. ✓ The University of Central Oklahoma offers several ways to test out of courses. The first, the CLEP, is offered as a national or institutional test. Malone said students plan-

ning to transfer should take the national CLEP tests. Institutional CLEP test results are credited to degrees offered only through the University. Malone said 33 courses can be CLEPped. "But they're usually the basics," he said. ✓ Students looking to bypass upper division classes should look to department-made tests, he said. Department-made tests are compiled by staff and faculty of the University. The cost for a departmentmade test is $15 per-credit hour and require approval from the chair of the department for

which the test is being taken. "Another option in testing is the DANTES—Defense Activity for Non Traditional Education Support—military tests put out by the Department of Defense," Malone said. The DANTES, he said, ✓ focuses more on vocational skills, such as automotive technology, electronics, banking and criminology. The DANTE costs $35 to take. Malone said each semester, on average, 60 students take the national CLEP, 105 students sweat through the institutional CLEP and 165 take departmental-made tests.

PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING

continued from front page Keating plans for growth in the state economy. "A broader tax base provides more money to all state programs, including higher education," he said. He also would like to increase the activity of businesses in higher education. Mildren plans to identify all available sources of funding, as well as encouraging more efficient use of current resources. Shedrick's plan is to increase the tax base by increasing economic development. "This will bring more quality jobs to our state, thereby increasing funding for higher education," she said. "I will develop new ways to expand higher education's funding base," said Shedrick. Watkins also supports economic development as a means of funding. Reform of the worker's compensation court system is one way to do this, he said.

There are two things most students are consistently short of— time and money. From deciding which courses to take, to standing in enrollment lines, to buying books, the college experience seems to involve more procedure and less learning. But senior Linda Mask has found a way to save many hours in the classroom and hundreds of dollars on tuition and books. She CLEPs. ✓ Through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Mask has earned 38

credit hours toward her degree without stepping into a classroom. "Anyone who is motivated and willing to study can CLEP out of courses," she said. "It saved me a lot of time and money." In fact, Mask said, by paying the $47 fee for each exam, she saved more than $700 by CLEPping out of courses. "And I learn more in six weeks of studying on my own than I do in four months of class time. The material is concentrated this way. I get a real saturation," said Mask.

Degree via ROTC scratches '8-year itch' Seventy-two cadets ✓ have enrolled in the ROTC this semester. Fifteen are women. Students can live either on or off campus. Normal classes run Monday, Wednesday and Friday, plus the Thursday drill session, Brogden said. Freshman and sophomore years are open enrollment, students can get their PE requirement for UCO even if they decide not to join the army. There is usually a large turnover in the first two years, said Brogden. Starting their junior year, students sign a contract with the army to become officers and serve eight-year enlistments in the military. Students can either serve on active duty or in the National Guard, Brogden said. "The cadet agrees to stay full time in college and work towards a degree and to participate within the ROTC program and attend mandatory training. In return, the

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Not many students graduate college knowing they have a job that is guaranteed for eight years with no lay-offs. However, Army ROTC students studying here at the University of Central Oklahoma receive a military commission as well as a degree of their choice with a minor in military science. The ROTC program is designed for students who wish to obtain a degree and receive a military commission, said Maj. Theodore E. Brogden, professor of military science. "I encourage the students that enter the program to go for a degree that they will enjoy as a profession," said Brogden. They won't be in the army for the rest of their life, so it is better they major in something that they are going to like, he added.

cadets start receiving $100 per month from the army." Along with the Thursday morning drill sessions, cadets do some of their military training off campus, Brogden said. At the beginning of September we will go to the police range and let the cadets qualify on the M-16 rifle, also we'll go out into the field once or twice this semester to teach the cadet map and compass work." -

Between their junior ✓ and senior year the cadets go for six weeks training at Fort Lewis, Wash. "It's also a chance for the army to evaluate the cadet's potential to be successfully cornmissioned as an officer." said Brogden.

Once back from Fort Lewis the cadets go through " the sessions," classes in which the army and cadet decide what career path they will follow and whether they are going to be on the active force or reserve. Upon graduation the cadet is commissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the regular Army or National Guard, said Brogden. "My job is to insure that when they leave here they know all the basics, the generics of being an officer and a leader," said Brogden. Lt. Rod Boles graduat✓ ed this past May with a degree in elementary education from UCO. He also received his commission as a full-time army officer at a separate ceremony the same month.

Boles said he joined the ROTC because he wanted to learn good leadership and management skills. "The ROTC has helped me in every aspect of my life. It has given me confidence when speaking to large groups of people and helped me in my classes here at UCO. I love to travel and have been coast to coast during my training," said Boles. "I won't fall back on my bachelor's degree until after my career in the military has ended," added Boles. Boles plans on going back to school part-time during his army career to get a master's degree in school administration. "I hope to be a principal or a school superintendent when I retire from the army," said Boles.

Mayan adventure in Guatemala:

e Students explore third world treasures

By Julie Dye Staff Writer

using a departmental trip this summer, 12 University of Central Oklahoma students studying Spanish discovered that it is, after all, a small world. The group didn't go to Disneyland. They went a little further south â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Guatemala. And according to Dr. Marcia Hakala, chairwoman of the Foreign Languages department, the students enhanced their perception of the culture and customs of the people whose language many of them have been studying for years. "We were located in Antigua, which is a quaint, colonial town that originally, in Guatemalan history, was the capital," Hakala said. "After it was destroyed by an earthquake in the 18th century, they moved the capitol to Guatemala City, but Antigua has retained its colonial flavor." She said Antiguans cater to people who visit with the purpose of learning the language: Several linguistics centers are located there. Students spent each morning from July 9 through July 26 studying with their own tutor at the Mayan Linguistic Center. During the afternoons and

evenings, they went sightseeing or attended cultural events. "We went to Copan, in Honduras, to the famous Maya archaeological site. We saw the pyramids and the whole area where they had excavated," Hakala said. Their tour guide explained a game played on three levels on the central square ball court of the area and the hieroglyphics, the Mayan's written system of communication, that adorned the columns in the area. "We climbed the pyramids and wandered among things hundreds of years old," Hakala said. For student Stephanie Money, the highlight of the trip was attending a celebration for the patron saint of a village they visited, Santiago Otitlau, located on the banks of a volcanic lake. "The Zutuhil Indians who lived there were very rural," Money said. "Faith is the primary part of their lives. Here, faith is secondary, something you do if you have time." She said this conviction made the celebration one of great importance, and decorations and activities reflected the significance of the event. "They prayed day and night. We couldn't get any sleep because they let off bombs all night." The experience was unique in that the

group was allowed to view the colorful festival, complete with parades and speeches, from the priest's quarters on the second-story balcony of a mission, usually reserved for the religious personnel. "Father Tom McSherry is from Oklahoma, and was sent there in 1983 to replace the previous priest who was assassinated," Hakala said. McSherry allowed them to stay in the mission, whose history, she said, was "phenomenal." Hakala said the group had to be cultured before they left Oklahoma. i is third-world country, a developing country" she said. "I had warned them that they needed to be flexible, because anything could happen." "Ordinary hot water for a shower is a scarce commodity. "We also told students to use purified water. Even the native people drink purified water. In many parts of the world, you could get diseases because the piping is ancient." Money said she was surprised that the poverty did not breed discontent. "The people who were poor weren't poor in the same sense that Americans are. The people who don't have money are the indigenous Indians, and they don't realize what they're missing. They're content. " She added that she envisioned horrible conditions, "but that wasn't the case. It was really clean." Aside from what many Americans would consider inconveniences, Hakala said the group was "absolutely enthusiastic." "They loved the Guatemalan people. They are warm, courteous and upbeatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; fun people to be around." Money said she was never afraid to wander the streets of Antigua alone. "The children would come up to me "

and touch my legs and pull at me, I guess because I'm so white. "When we went into little villages, people would look at us as if we were aliens. It was such a look of intrigue. "It was a nice feelingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I didn't sense any hostility. They aren't as violent as we are here. Even if someone wanted to steal from you, they wouldn't knock you down or knife you. They aren't malicious." Guatemala is an especially interesting Hispanic culture, Hakala said, because of its hyper cultures among the native populations. She said multiple groups of Indian populations live alongside the Hispanic people. This was demonstrated by the different patterns and colors in the weavings created by the women, which represent sections of the country. "So you could be able to tell what part of the country someone is from by what they wear," Hakala said. Even the bartering during the shopping trips was educational. "When the vendors stopped, that meant anything lower was an unfair price," Hakala said. "It was a wonderful experience for using the language. "For the students to be talking to people on their own level in their setting was great exposure to a totally different culture with a lot of rich native heritage." Hakala said many of the students wished they would have had more money for the hand-made clothing, games and backpacks, but the trip was not cheap. Money said she spent $400 for souvenirs. The students paid $950 for the trip, which included UCO tuition for threecredit hours, airfare, room and board and the linguistics center tuition. The students paid the college a room, board and tuition fee and stayed with families who were paid by the college, Hakala said.

AAUP tackles salary increases, representation By Roy Howe Staff Writer

Requesting a 5-to-7 percent increase in faculty salaries, the university's chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is keeping stride with the Faculty Senate who recently spoke out for pay raises. The organization's executive committee recently came forward with AAUP's goals. Salary increases, appointments to university committees, an ongoing pursuit to remedy a national disapproval against the University of Central Oklahoma and to act as an advocate for faculty in grievance procedures are topics the AAUP plans to tackle. The organization released its objectives in written form and listed salaries as its number two goal. AAUP's number one goal: Representation on all university committees.

"...The administration of our university is often inclined to omit motivated and competent faculty in its composition of committees which consider issues crucial to the well-being of the institution, and to its future," the AAUP's justification reads. Faculty salaries are the AAUP's second goal with the organization urging UCO President George Nigh ''...to make a public statement that this will be his top budget priority in the coming year." In a document detailing their goals, the AAUP also expressed its discontent with no salary increases in three years-a topic at the Faculty Senate's Sept. 1 meeting. "...It is the goal of AAUP to convince the administration at UCO that it is imperative that another year not go by in which the faculty does not receive further monetary compensation for its work," the AAUP declared.

Furthermore, the AAUP cited the removal of a national censure as their third goal. The censure is a form of disapproval and was imposed on the university in 1969 by AAUP's national chapter for an improper dismissal of a professor. "Initial communications between President Nigh and the national office have so far produced little progress toward the goal of removing the university administration from the censured list...," the AAUP states. Nigh has said that he can't be responsible for what happened at the university at that time. Nigh also has said he believes the university is now in compliance with the AAUP's national chapter guidelines and wishes the censure were removed.

Rush Report: Pros and cons of Greek life By David L. Hanigar

Staff Writer Alpha, Lambda, Theta, Beta, Zeta, Waita...minute. What does all this mean? With school in full swing and students studying for their first test, several have decided for or against joining a fraternity or sorority. But what are the reasons? "I don't have time," or "It's just not for me," are common answers for not joining. "I like the brotherhood," or "It's a great way to meet people," are common answers for joining. But what do students really think? Brotherhood or sisterhood are the benefits that several members emphasize. "The fraternity has become, at least for me, a sort of family where there is always someone to rely on or someone who depends on you," said Chris Williams, pledge trainer and third year member of Alpha Tau Omega (ATO). "To me personally it's like a home away from home," said Melissa Presnal, public relations officer and member of Sigma Kappa Sorority. "The best thing is that the brotherhood is stronga," said James Guthrie, rush chairman and member of Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE). But what is brother✓ hood or sisterhood? How neces-

sary is it to college life and is a fraternity or sorority the best place to get it? Several students think not. "I'm sure it's pretty fun and you have like an immediate family, but that's not what I wanted to do. I wanted to make my own friends and succeed on my own," said Cindy Green, UCO student. Although several non✓ Greek students are unaware of the Greek system, others have been exposed and don't like what they see. Although he said he works too much and wouldn't have time, Fields said he doesn't think he would join a fraternity anyway. "It seems a little fake. You kind of want people to like you for something other then the fact that you're in a fraternity," he said. Two students interviewed told stories of sorority members treating them differently because they were not a Greek member. Yet, members claim the misunderstanding comes from those not willing to get involved. "People that don't like fraternities and think that it's 'rent a friend' and stuff like that haven't given it a chance," said Kirby Junge, four-year TKE member. One student said he felt like an outcast because he wasn't a part of the group. Gene Moon, a music major and "rushee" (person consider-

ing joining a fraternity or sorority), disagrees. He said he has friends in the TKE fraternity and considers membership a way to get closer to them. Academics is often promoted as a benefit of Greek membership. Some sororities and fraternities on campus are academic organizations, such as Kappa Delta Pi. Membership is gained only through invitation and grade-point average is a main factor. As far as the social ✓ organizations on campus, academic demand depends on the house. While Sigma Kappa sorority has held the highest grade-point average 11 out of 12 semesters, several fraternities only require a 2-point minimum. Junge of TKE admits that fraternity functions could interfere with grades, but said access to tests from previous semesters and members that have had the class before can benefit a student also. The "animal house syndrome" is a problem fraternity members discuss. Based on the movie starring Jim Belushi, they are concerned people view the fraternity life as a club for rowdy guys and alcoholics. "I don't drink alcohol. So, I thought it (fraternities) wasn't for me. I thought, 'well, it's not real attractive' about the animal house stigma. But, it actually is real people. It doesn't look like you have to major in alcohol," David Matiella said.

Spikers Bronchos thrash Southwestern UCO cruises to 12th straight nondown conference win, ups record to 2-0

improve to 5-0 By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

The Lady Broncho volleyball team remained undefeatedby beating Cameron in four games on Sept. 6. Cameron came out strong in the first game, dropping the University of Central Oklahoma 13-15. UCO lost only their second game of the year behind a poor team attack percentage of only .119 while Cameron hit .205. The Lady Aggies out performed UCO in both the first and second games, but still could not muscle out another victory. Game two was another tight one with the Lady Bronchos ending up on top, 15-13. UCO improved their hitting in game two to .222, which was just enough to get past Cameron's .237. Motivated by the game two win, UCO pounded Cameron 15-7 in game three. The Lady Bronchos had an amazing attack percentage of .342 while holding the Lady Aggies to a mere .116. The fourth and final game was an error riddled 17-15 UCO victory with both teams combining for 23 errors. The poor performances led to sub-.100 attack percentages for both teams for the game. Cameron hit a startling .070 with 13 errors and 17 kills. The Lady Bronchos hit a well below average .082, having committed 10 errors in 61 attempts. Senior Carrie Hare led the team with 22 kills and only five errors in all four games. Setting up Hare and the other Lady Bronchos was junior Amy Hansen, who had 51 assists for the match. Middle blockers Angie Schoof and Natalie Salmans also had good showings in the match. For the match the Lady Bronchos hit .175 with 61 total kills and 30 errors. UCO held the Lady Aggies to a .159 attack percentage, while forcing 34 errors in 170 attempts. The win moves the Lady Bronchos to 5-0 for the season.

ries, all in the first half. Freshman backup tailback Karl Myles picked up 73 yards on 16 attempts and played most of the second half. Indeed, the 34-0 cushion at halftime enabled Broncho Head Coach Gary Howard to play a number of second and third teamers. Starting sophomore quarterback Stanley Pena was replaced by redshirt freshman Sean Morgan after Pena passed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on 5 of 7 attempts. Pena has hit 13 of 20 passes in his first two starts for a completion percentage of .650 Pena started the game on target, hitting junior spilt end Tony Bryson for a 66-yard gain to the Southwestern 12-yard line on just the second play of the game. Aska capped the four-play drive with a 15-yard scamper to paydirt. Senior Chris Patterson's point after gave UCO a 7-0 lead with the game not even two minutes old. Another big play marked the Bronchos second drive as Aska traveled 52-yards for UCO's second touchdown with a little less than five minutes elapsed in the game. The successful PAT gave UCO a 14-0 lead. UCO then put together a more traditional scoring drive on their third possession, marching 72yards in eight plays topped off by a pena 10-yard scoring strike to backup fullback Tyrone Baker making the score 20-0. Pena added two more touchdown tosses before the half was over, putting the game out of reach.

By Scott Moore Sports Editor Saturday night at Weatherford the Central Oklahoma football team and Southwestern Oklahoma State University renewed an old rivalry and judging by the final score. the Bronchos picked upright where they left off. UCO rolled up 437 yards of total offense en route to a 36-8 victory and their 12th straight nonconference win in front of about 4.500 fans at Milam Stadium. The last time the Bronchos and the Bulldogs played UCO routed Southwestern 45-17 in 1983. Saturday's contest marked the 70th time the two teams have met. This time, unlike last time, the Bronchos are a NCAA Division II team while Soutwestern is a NAIA member and ranked 13th. The Bronchos used their size and speed to put the game away early, scoring on their first three possessions of the game and taking a 34-0 adavantage into the locker room. The first half was a showcase for the Bronchos offensive firepower, as they amassed 371 yards in the game's first 30 minutes. The UCO defense nullified the Bulldog attack by holding them to a mere 56 yards (16 rushing, 40 passing) of total offense in the first half while UCO rang up 205 on the ground and 166 through the air. UCO's starting tailback Joe Aska led all rushers with 147 yards and two touchdowns on 17 car-

UCO cross country teams make debut at invitational By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

Last Saturday, the Central Oklahoma cross country teams opened up their seasons in Canyon,Texas at the West Texas A&M Invitational. The Bronchos finished the tournament in third with 63 points and the Lady bronchos finished fourth with 133 points. This will be a rebuilding year for both squads as the Lady Bronchos return one letterwinner from last season, sophomore Francie Briscoe and the Bronchos one letterman, senior Jon Brown. Brown is the team's only senior. Gone are UCO's top three runners from last season - Gary Hamer, Jason Larabee, and Todd Smoot. This trio helped lead the Bronchos to a third place showing at the 1993 Lone Star Conference Championships, which UCO won in 1989 and 1990. Looking to take leading roles this season for the Bronchos will be Brown, and sophomores Darrell Jeffries and Shawn Johnson. Brown and Jeffries were UCO's No. 4 and 5 runners last season. "This should be a very interesting season for our men's squad, because we reallly don't have a team leader going into the season," said UCO Head Coach Paul Parent. The Lady Bronchos will look to better their sixth-place Lone Star Conference finish last year with the help of Briscoe and nine underclassmen. The only upperclassmen on the squad this year is junior Kristi Redding.

"Our women's team needs to have some success early to keep them focused on becoming better, both physically and mentally," said Parent. "We have a lot of room for

improvement, but I have seen some positive things out of the girls in practice. Francie is our only experienced runner back, which could provide for a slow start."

Former student 2 local men start training for EPD By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer After two months of intense police training with the Council on Law Enforcement and Education (CLEET), a former University of Central Oklahoma student and two other cadets received diplomas Aug. 31 that allow them to legally practice law enforcement anywhere in the state. But, that's not good enough

for Edmond. Mathew Terry, Greg Yeager and Keith Frutiger now must begin a series of training programs in order to meet the standards of the Edmond Police Department. ✓ By state law, police departments have one year before officers must be CLEET certified. Many police departments hire officers and allow them to work the streets before

sending them through CLEET training. "We don't do that anymore because the liability is too great," said Lt. Jim Turner of the Edmond Police Department. By the time they hit the streets as an Edmond police officer, they will have completed 24-30 weeks of training."

department's operation and

paperwork, firearms, officer survival training and introduction to the field training officer program (170). During the FTO program, starting Sept. 10, the officers will be observed by and ride with experienced field training officers with the department, Turner said. "They have to successfully complete the program before they are allowed to go on the street by themselves," Turner said. "It's important because it's where they are trained in procedure and policy."

First, a six-day orienta✓ tion at the police department acquaints new officers with the

"It's basically just a waiting game until our body can fight it out," Newton said. Borza said he will be able to graduate once he completes the days he's missed, although no definite decisions have been made. "His health is our primary concern. We'll play it by ear as to what the doctor says he can do when he returns," said Lt. Jim Turner of the Edmond Police Department. Borza will be able to hold a light duty position until he is fully recovered and able to begin field training, Turner said.

On Aug. 31, the stage of the Tabernacle Baptist Church held 39 armed men in black and blue uniforms. They would walk away from that stage with diplomas from the Oklahoma State Law Enforcement Academy. Everything appeared to be fine, but something was wrong. One man, an Edmond police recruit, was missing. On the Friday before graduation from the academy, Joseph Borza was diagnosed with spinal meningitis and admitted to the Baptist Medical Center. Meningitis is a viral or bacterial infection of the outer covering of the brain, Borza's physician, Dr. Scott Newton said. In Borza's case it also involves the covering of the spinal cord. The virus is usually absorbed through

Yeager, a former student of UCO, said law enforcement is what he has wanted to do all his life and hopes to eventually work as a federal SWAT team member. Terry, a 22 year-old from Stroud, was more concentrated on the present. "I don't know," he said, when asked what was in store for him. "I'm just winging it right now."
