Students target for scholarship scams By Colby Grieser Staff Writer
S
tudents seeking financial aid beware. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reports there are many companies offering help with financial aid for students, but with large fees and little result. Students have spent millions of dollars on scholarship scams in the past several years, according to the FTC. The "scholarship scam" businesses charge students between $10 and $400 for assistance in acquiring scholarships, but fail to deliver, according to the FTC. Although the FTC is pursuing scholarship scam companies and has sued eight companies in the past year, many more are still in operation, according to the FTC. Most advertisements for these companies contain false or misleading
information including: • billions/millions of dollars of financial aid goes unclaimed each year, • free financial aid is only a phone call away, • results guaranteed, • money back guaranteed, • they will find under -publicized or hidden scholarships for students. Students at UCO have asked the Scholarship Office about these advertisements, but Margaret Howell, scholarship coordinator said she told them to save their money. "When students bring in these ads, I tell them to put their money in the bank instead of giving it to them, because that's the only scholarship they'll get from these types of businesses," said Howell. One company Howell said she suspects is a scam advertises that "the average
student gets $15,000 in aid with their help." The ad also says students can "get their fair share of the over $52 billion awarded to students each year." When students call the company, they are put on hold. Then a message says the company will tell them when to apply for aid to ensure a scholarship, and they will "show students how to slash or eliminate their school costs" and it's "risk free." When a representative answers the call, they will ask for a name and continue to talk about the numerous benefits students receive from their company such as: how to apply for grant money and get it, how to make the most out of the money they receive and how to fill out the applications for different types of financial aid. The representative then says the only cost to the student is $149, but the student will receive four audio cassettes and a
300-page manual on how to apply for financial aid. The representative also claims that during the 1995-1996 school year, the average award was $15,000, but doesn't say it's mostly loans, said Howell. There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, but a student has to write to a list of contacts for scholarships and grants, then get a response from them within the thirty days to get their $149 back, said Howell. The contacts don't send response letters, so it's impossible for the students to get their money back, said Howell. Students should be aware companies like this do exist, because it isn't obvious when they call that it's a scam. To get more information on scholarship scams contact the scholarship office at 341-2980, Ext. 2637.

pini rt and fact s
Sometimes they really are in sync
R
ecently, columnist Steven E. Wedel received a lot of criticism for his stand on "Women in the Ranks." He was called everything from a "pig" to a "Nazi" in several letters to the editor. On Saturday, The Washington Post restated what was printed in an article in Time magazine last month. It seems that despite denial by some special-interest groups, the U.S. military branches have been holding women recruits to lower standards than the men. It has reached a point that the male recruits are complaining about unfair treatment. The physical fitness standards passed in 1984 are "widely ridiculed" says the Post article. One reason the Post says is because "most women, even those who smoke and are overweight, can pass the test without difficulty. Even somewhat physically fit men, especially those who are middle-aged, have trouble passing or scoring high on their tests." Faced with such a report, one can only wonder about the research methods used by groups like the Women's Research and Education Institute, which, according to one letter to the editor, claimed the standards for women are generally higher than those for men. The very fact they have the word "woman" in their name would indicate a biased view to their research. Before raising a clamor based on an emotional response to facts that are not in synch with our personal agendas, we should make sure we are being logical and not merely reactionary. On

Free speech defended with Banned Books Week By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer
"I've lived in two societies where it was the pornographers and perverts who were publicly attacked and censored first," said director Milos Forman. Forman, whose films include The People vs. Larry Flynt, was quoted recently in Free Expression, a publication of the American Booksellers Association (ABA). ABA is a co-sponsor of Banned Books Week, which runs from Sept. 2027. "We all applauded," Forman continued. "Who wants perverts running through the streets, after all? It's the easiest thing for the government to find support for censorship of pornography. But they are smart; they have ways of formulating the laws so that you suddenly learn that Shakespeare was a pervert, Jesus was a pervert, that, in fact, everyone who does not conform with the government is a super-pervert." Carol Barry, assistant director of public services for the UCO library, said, "I'm very concerned about book banning." It's something that hasn't been an issue very often at UCO, Barry said. "We've had two challenges in the last

five years," she said. Both challenges were to periodicals, Barry said. One of the magazines was Playboy. "We chose not the remove that one," said Barry.The second challenge was to a magazine called Out. Barry said the library offered the form necessary for the patron to file a formal complaint, but the form was never returned. The magazine was not removed. Barry said the library usually has a display during Banned Books Week, but since they are still moving material due to construction, they just haven't had time to create the display this year. "I feel the issue of book banning is especially important in a university library," Barry said. Erin O'Neil-Roach, general manager of the Borders bookstore in Oklahoma City, said, "Any infringement on our freedom of press is not a benefit to anyone." While it may seem ha.rd to believe that such a monumental literary figure as William Shakespeare could be banned, the ABA said works such as Hamlet, King Lear, The Merchant of Venice, and the Tragedy of Richard III have been banned or challenged for political and
religious reasons throughout the centuries. Just this year, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night was removed from a New Hampshire library in accordance with a policy that bans instruction that has the "effect of encouraging or supporting homosexuality as a positive lifestyle alternative," said the ABA. The American Library Association (ALA) says books are banned or challenged usually with the best intentions—to protect others, frequently children, from difficult ideas and information. A challenge, according to the ALA, is an attempt to remove or restrict materials based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. The ALA reports that sex, profanity, violence, and racism remain the primary targets of those who want to ban certain materials. However, the ALA said that within the last year other criteria are being used to challenge books. Shel Silverstein's A Light in the Attic was challenged because it was considered too "dreary," said the ALA report. "Armpit farts" was enough to put Bruce
Tex a c o C.A.S.A., Inc. Convenience Stores
Coville's My Teacher Glows in the Dark on the challenged list. Judith Guest's Ordinary People was said to handle suicide inappropriately, and Ryan White did not depict teen smoking correctly in his book Ryan White: My Own Story. Many books that often appear on banned or challenged lists are the same volumes named on many college syllabi, said the ALA report. Some examples are Moby Dick, The Scarlet Letter To Kill a Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.The ALA does an annual study to determine what books were most often challenged each year. The list is compiled from newspapers and reports submitted by individuals. The most frequently challenged books of 1996 were: • Goosebumps Series by R.L. Stine • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain This book has been challenged since it was published in 1885. At one time it was considered racist because Jim was depicted in too heroic a manner for a slave. Today it is often b_anned for being rascist against blacks. • I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by • See BOOKS, Page 5

A/C The buildings are all connected by a main water loop which carries chilled and warm water to the various buildings and creates cold or warm air. There are also two 450- ton absorbers that are operated by natural gas and their by-product is the heating and cooling for these buildings. The main problem Facilities Management has discovered is one of the absorbers hasn't worked on a consistent basis in the two years since installation, said Rosson. The absorbers also may not be large enough to meet the demands of all the buildings. "The problem is we're trying to operate the water loop with half of the system," he said.

Javelinas sack Bronchos Central Oklahoma dropped its first game of the season losing to Texas A&M-Kingsville 33-7 By Chad Wiliming Sports Editor
T
exas A&M Kingsville sacked UCO's quarterback's six times and dominated both sides of the ball extending their 30-game Lone Star Conference winning streak to 31 by defeating the Bronchos 33-7 Saturday at Kingsville, Texas. "We played a top quality opponent and got beat by a better team at this stage of the season," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. The loss was the first of the 1997 season for the No. 6 ranked Central Oklahoma football team, it also dropped the Bronchos record to 0-1 in the Lone Star Conference standings. The No. 3 Javelinas (1-0,1-0), playing their first game of the season scored 33

Senior quarterback Sean Morgan was 5-10 passing for 114 yards with one touchdown pass and one interception. "We'll just have to take what we learned from the past week and try to become a better football team," said Howard. The Bronchos, also on the road next week, travel to face Lone Star Conference foe Abilene Christian in a 1 o'clock start at Shotwell Stadium.

Scholarship scam checklist According to the Federal Trade Commission there are six signs a scholarship search might be a scholarship scam: • "The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back." No one can guarantee that they'll get you a grant or scholarship. Refund guarantees often have conditions or strings attached. Get refund policies in writing before you pay.
• "You can't get this information anywhere else." There are many free lists of scholarships. Check the scholarship office before deciding to pay someone to do the work for you. • "May I have your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship?" Don't give out a credit card number or bank account number on the phone
without getting information in writing first. It may be a set-up for an unauthorized withdrawal. • "We'll do all the work." Don't be fooled. There's no way around it. You must apply for scholarships or grants yourself. • The scholarship will cost some money. Don't pay anyone who claims to be "holding" a scholarship or grant for you. Free money shouldn't cost a thing.
• "You've been selected. by a national foundation" to receive a scholarship, or "You're a finalist" in, a contest you never entered. Before you send inay to apply for scholarship, check it tut. Make sure the foundation or program; 's ' legttmia — te. Colby &User Staff Writee

Fundraising, charity groups to team up with student organizations she has is to bring a celebrity speaker to campus and organize special events to coincide with their appearance. Student organizations could be present during the special events to help raise money for charity, or simply to promote themselves, she said. Trowbridge said she has talked with the American Programming Bureau, a Boston-based company, about getting Magic Johnson to speak for an AIDS fundraiser, or getting Tom Brokaw or Dan Rather to speak at a special event. "I'm trying to bring big-name figures that I think will also be of some help to students on campus," Trowbridge said. Trowbridge said she graduated from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, a college with a large and active resident-student population. While she attended school there, she was a student assistant for the senior assistant director of transfer affairs, Trowbridge said.

hen Emily Trowbridge, the new director of activities and promotions for Auxiliary Enterprises, organizes fundraising events on campus later this semester, UCO student organizations will have opportunities to work with offcampus charity groups. Trowbridge, who began working in her current position in August, said one of her main focuses this year is fundraisers. "I'm looking at increasing fundraisers on campus and promoting the University of Central Oklahoma's name through charity work," she said. Trowbridge said she thought fundraising events would also help increase student involvement in campus organizations and activities, as well as help promote campus pride.

opportunity to create a more campuswide student involvement, geared even towards commuter students." She said that of all the qualities she possesses which make her right for her job, perhaps the strongest is her age. "Since I'm only 23, I can relate well to the students," Trowbridge said. "I understand what the students' needs are, ...and I think that the students need someone that they can feel comfortable enough going to." " I've had a great response from the students." Trowbridge, whose office is in the University Center, Room 321, said her door is always open to anybody who has a suggestion for an event they'd like to see on campus. "My only fear is that Rome wasn't built in a day," Trowbridge said. "I think it may take me a year to get a lot of my things off the ground, and so I ask everyone just to bear with me."

Heit, a recipient of a student Fulbright grant in 1968-69, studied in Germany. The Fulbright program gives students the chance to see how other cultures, other educational institutions, and other countries look at things. They acquire a new perspective, said Heit. "The competition is keen, but the opportunity is there." "It will enrich your life. Plus, it's paid for," said Heit.Last year, seven applications were completed out of 140 UCO students who expressed an interest.

A full list of countries and the number of grants they offer are available in the Fulbright student program. The Fulbright program was established in 1946, following World War II, by U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright. Fulbright believed educational and cultural exchanges would build an alternative to armed conflict, said Heit.

Interested UCO students may pick up applications and information booklets for the 1998-99 Fulbright grants in Room 205, of the Liberal Arts building. Deadline for applications is Oct. 10.
