eginning this semester, there will be no more mid-term grades issued by UCO instructors. On Sept. 4, President Webb approved a recommendation made by UCO's Faculty Senate to eliminate mid-term grades, said Roberta Sloan, senate president and chair of the theatre arts department. The measure had already passed in UCO's Student Association. Less than 15 percent of the student body ever inquired about their mid-term grades, said Sloan. The cost, in terms of time spent and dollars expended, was not justified by the returns, she said. The grades were not meaningful, according to Sloan, who expressed the feelings of some students who had inquired about their mid-term grades. "Sometimes a mid-term grade, coming when it does, is not a true evaluation of how the student is doing in the class," Sloan said. "What's indicative at the end of the semester may not be the case only eight weeks into the semester." Many other universities, and community colleges, have already abolished the mid-term process, said Sloan.
"Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, where President Webb is from, has not had mid-term grades for a long time," Sloan said. "I think that may be why he was in favor of this proposal and responded so quickly." The new policy is expected to save the university $1,000 per year, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice-president for enrollment management. The adoption and implementation of this proposal will save money by reducing costs in printing, circulation, and recording of mid-term grades, Sloan said. The money saved is expected to be reallocated to offset unbudgeted expenses encountered by the enrollment and admissions office, said Legere. Those expenses include such things as the scholarship guide published this year, he said. Any student who wants to know what their grade is at the mid-term point can still ask the instructor to give them the grade, said Sloan. "I would certainly encourage the students who want to know how they are progressing in the course to do that," Sloan said. The abolishment of mid-term grades does not necessarily mean the end for mid-term exams,she said. .fin

/ s 1984 finally here? Do you get the feeling that when you use the Internet that someone is looking over your shoulder? Maybe it's Big Brother checking up on you. But is Big Brother who you think it is? According to a recent survey nearly half of the Fortune 500 companies collect data on employees without telling them. It seems as our technology has evolved to the point where information is instantaneously accessible, we have sacrificed much of our privacy. The same machines that we use to make our lives easier and gain information for our own personal use are used by employers to delve into our personal lives and history. Some companies participate in what are sometimes called "midnight raids," where the employers sneak into the office late at night with a so-called computer analyst, who downloads information from the hard drive—where the most sensitive information usually exists. The analysts can also recover Emails and documents which were erased long ago. One U. S. News & World Report article says companies no longer hesitate to seek information on what was once assumed to be the private side of workers' lives. The FBI needs a court order to tap phone lines, but employers have far more freedom to listen in. Last year a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 36.4 percent of respondents search employee E-mail for business necessity or security. Although benefits for the employer are undeniable, what rights do we give up and where do we draw the line?

LETTERS
Staff sergeant takes exception to "Women in the ranks" column have recently read your August 21, 1997 edition of "The Vista." I found the paper to be of some interest and disgust, in particular is the "Steven Says..." article entitled "Women in the ranks." First, I would like to know has "Steven" had any military service. If he has then he must also know that women have been "in" the military since time began. They may have been merely nurses or cloth makers, food preparers then. As early as the revolutionary war women were in battle. They had to secretly dress as men and strap themselves down, but were important to our nation's history. These women felt the need to protect and survive as much if not more then their husbands, brothers, fathers and sons. Call it maternal instincts, call it patriotism, call it whatever you like women were there. For "Steven," let me say this, it is a well known fact that women are of the weaker sex. The standards have not been lowered, but moreover have been adjusted to suit each of the genders. I freely admit I do not have the same physical capacity as a man of equal age, however, there are some younger soldiers I can run circles around. I have been in the military service for over fourteen (14) years. I have never been treated, nor would I want to be treated any differently than any other soldier. I am that. A soldier. When I put on my uniform I perform my duties as well as , if not
better than most. I find it difficult to believe the "Steven" can be as cynical and/or as ignorant to believe that the military in this country has fallen merely by the entrance of women. I agree there are certain females that should not belong to the military, but in the same token, there are many men who should not be in the military. The drill sergeants around the country would probably disagree with "Steven" when it comes to those "time out cards." These cards are present thanks to (the legal system and civil rights) of each individual soldier who couldn't take getting screamed at in their, or for the life of them couldn't fold a 45-degree crease in their blanket on their bunk. Someone who is not capable of handling a strict, disciplined lifestyle will never make it in the military. "Steven," I can only tell you that the male soldier who only has to 20 pushups is 52 years older and the amount for a female soldier at sage 52 will do nine push-ups to meet today's standards. If your grandmother could do none push-ups within the two minutes wouldn't you be proud! One more thing, "Steven," you did get one thing right in your column. Our military jobs are vital to all of us as a nation, male and female.
—Rochelle F. Grawe Staff Sergeant Enid, Okla.

College of Mathematics and Science ruled by female majority By Jim Hulsey Staff Writer
T
he traditionally male-dominated chair positions for the UCO College of Mathematics and Science, has changed to a female majority. The candidates for the seven positions are voted for by their department faculty members and each chair serves a fouryear term. Each department votes at different times, over a four-year period, for their chairperson. Alternating the years avoids the "transitional shock" of adjusting to seven new chairpersons at one time, said Dr. G. Kay Powers, Dean of the College of Mathematics and Science. Powers, a former chairperson (198388), was pleased for all UCO students to have diverse role models in leadership

UCO-based preschool for the deaf continues to help hearing-impaired said. SEE is "total communication." With SEE you notice the children developing in a way that's most comfortable to them, whether its signing or speaking, said Coldren. It is important for the children to carry out at home the communication they learn at school. Coldren said she knows a little girl who's in the first grade, and is profoundly deaf. Her teacher told her mother that she's the best reader in the class, she said. "That's remarkable, because usually the hardest subjects for deaf students are English and reading, because of the language," she said.

t's in the smallest classroom on campus where you'll find stacks of little yellow chairs, toys and plastic tubs marked, "large beads and strings." It's where patience is a virtue and "candy" a popular word, like any classroom of preschoolers. And on this day seven little scholars took turns swinging a tiny wooden broom at a pink pinata through a blindfold, while they signed words back and forth to each other. Some children seemed timid, others outspoken, but all of them intently watched their teacher's hands and lips when she said, "this is a strong pig." She smiled with shiny blue eyes that reflected her love—and her challenge. Melanie Coldren is the director and only teacher of the preschool, Oklahoma School for the•Deaf (OSD), located on UCO's campus next to Mitchell Hall. It was started at UCO 1982 when the State Department of Education wanted to make a model preschool under a program called Project ECHO, which stands for Enriching Children's Hearing Opportunities. ECHO had the school for six years before the State decided it had served its purpose—but UCO wasn't ready to let it go, said Coldren. The school was given money to operate for a year. At the time OSD, based in Sulphur, was attempting to start a satellite preschool as part of their outreach program. OSD adopted the school nine years ago. Coldren, who has a masters degree from OU in Deaf Education, also teaches two classes at UCO: Beginning SEE (Sining Extract English), for Education Majors and Inttrmediate SEE, for Speech Language Pathology Majors, she said. "I think working in the university setting has a lot of advantages for a preschool because the Speech Language Pathology students get to work
"The reason she can do that is not because she came to school here, but that she has a mother that signs to her and talks to her about everything." She can reason with her child. She can talk to her about what she wants to be when she grows up or argue with her about what she wants to wear. The children also have the opportunity to play with hearing children on the playground, she said. "They don't have to have the language to play, so this is probably the easiest time for them," said Coldren. "They play in the sandbox and share things, unlike with • See PRESCHOOL, Page 7

with the children," she said. Many of them become the authority on deafness when they go to teach, because they have been exposed to the children. This is Coldren's tenth year at the school where she teaches a class of hearing impaired preschoolers four days a week, and a class of 2-year-olds on Fridays, she said. The students usually have a whole range of hearing loss from mild to profound. Learning the language is much harder for deaf children. "Preschool really helps, the biggest problem is the language. If you think about how you've acquired your language, you didn't have to go to preschool to learn that. You just learned it at home," she said. "By learning things over and over, you make that connection
between the word that you hear and the object or the action it represents." "So with deaf children, if they can't hear the language, the language is very delayed, the vocabulary is very limited— unless they're able to see it. And that's where the sign language comes in. We're just making the English language visible to the child," she said. Children at the school sign and say everything. They all wear hearing aids as well. In the classroom Coldren's teaching tool is Signing Exact English (SEE). American Sign Language (ASL) is used in the classroom as well, because some of the children already know it and are communicating with it, she said. With ASL you don't use your voice, with SEE you do, she

The preschool is similar to other hearing preschools. For the 3 and 5-year-old class Coldren uses a storybook curriculum. Last week it was, "Clifford's Birthday Party." One of the children had a birthday, so they learned about what you do on birthdays, and other activities that related to the story line. They made dog-bone snacks out of peanut butter and graham crackers, made birthday cards, had free time and sang, she said. "We probably don't sing very well, but we do sing. Music is very good, and singing is good because songs are very repetitive, so that helps the language. It also helps their speech," she said. "We sing the days of the week every day, and the "'Wheels on the Bus'—that's a favorite." Coldren's favorite part of her job is

"They go through so much grief, the grieving process. You have this picture of the baby you're going to have, and what this baby's going to grow up to be—this ideal that you have in your head," Coldren said.
"You kind of go through a grief over the loss of that baby," she said. Having a little person in your home that you can't fully communicate with causes a lot of divisiveness, she said.

a lot of that." There are still frustrations to deal with though. "The most difficult part of the job, I think, is convincing some parents of the long range effects of what's going on with their child right now. That's my biggest frustration," she said. Coldren said she loves teaching preschool because it is, in so many ways, a beginning. "I've seen some really bright, bright children that are just locked up. They can't communicate," she said. "Just getting that started is pretty exciting." She said she watches them open up like little red roses, and before long it's time for them to continue life somewhere else—and it's hard to say good-bye. "I want them to have good self esteem and to be responsible," said Coldren. "And to have good language with communication skills so that doors will be opened to them—so that they can get a good education."

he Central Oklahoma football team dropped from sixth to 17th in the latest NCAA Division II poll after losing to Texas A&M Kingsville 33-7. The loss, UCO's first of the season, brought the Bronchos record to 1-1 overall and 0-1 in the Lone Star Conference standings. This Saturday the Bronchos travel to Shotwell Stadium in Abilene, Texas to play a pivotal conference match against Abilene Christian at 1 p.m. "Abilene Christian is obviously one of several key games we have coming up on
our schedule," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. The next two weeks UCO will face crucial conference opponents in Abilene Christian and Tarleton State. Abilene Christian comes into the game with a 2-0 record holding victories over defending NAIA national champion Soutwestern Okla., and Texas A&M Commerce. "It' a key game, in terms of the overall season. Abilene Christian is undefeated, they're a good football team
in the conference, we've been pointing to this game," said Howard. The Bronchos have won the last three meetings against Abilene Christian, including a 24-6 victory last year, despite trailing the series 65-1 over the last eleven meetings. Coming into the game injuries continue to trouble the Bronchos. Last week UCO lost another key player for the season and probably two more for the Abilene
Christian game. Sophomore defensive end Chris Crawford became the third player out for the season when he broke his arm against Texas A&M Kingsville. The Bronchos, who already have lost AllAmerican linebacker Johnny Luter for the season, have lost two more linebackers for the upcoming Abilene Christian game. Sophomore Brian Morton is out with a knee injury, and Senior Scott Hipp is doubtfull with a shoulder injury. Central Oklahoma returns to Wantland Stadium Saturday, Sept. 27 for their homecoming game against Tarleton State.

Interactive kiosks installed in University Center, Library By Ryan Dannar
Staff Writer
U
CO is one of five local colleges that recently installed computerized information terminals on campus as part of a pilot program recently founded by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. If successful, this program could be expanded to other Oklahoma colleges. The terminals are designed by TouchNet, who has labeled them "interactive information kiosks." The kiosks are self-contained units and look like small automatic teller machines.
The regents funded the kiosks—one on the first floor of installation of the kiosks through the University Center, and one a $500,000 grant, said Jerry on the first floor of the Library. Legere, assistant vice president They are operational, but for enrollment management. many features are still under Once the systems are a year development. he said. old, the cost for maintaining The kiosks are currently able them is turned over to the to provide campus maps, print various forms, automatically university, said Lee Kessinger, dial many UCO departments, director of information send faxes, make copies, and technology.

Kessinger said UCO has two Jeanie Edney, director of
communications for the regents, said the regents selected UCO, Rose State College, Redlands College, Oklahoma City Community College, and Oklahoma State University at Oklahoma City to receive kiosks. Edney said if the program proves to be beneficial to students, it could be expanded to other Oklahoma colleges. Once all the features of the kiosks are active, each kiosk will be able to access the homepages of the other schools participating in the program, Kessinger said. Legere said the kiosks will help students access and exchange information with their own school and with each of the other schools involved in the program.
Commemorative plaques to be placed on campus By Ryan Dannar
Staff Writer A UCO tradition will continue this semester when a private contractor installs commemorative plaques in new campus parks and buildings. The plaques, which commemorate the recent completion of UCO's $54-million master plan, will take their place among many existing plaques which mark previous points in the university's development. "If you look around campus, you'll find that plaques were mounted when many of our older buildings were completed," said Dr. Ken Larson, UCO associate professor of human environmental sciences and chair of the UCO Signage Committee. The old plaques generally list UCO's president at the time, members of the Board of Regents and the architects, Larson said. With the new plaques, said Larson, "We thought it appropriate to honor those who made UCO's recent expansion
possible." The plaques will list the names of former UCO President George Nigh, former Board of Regents President Mike Brown, members of the Board of Regents, firms and architects involved in each location's construction and design, and the year in which the project was completed, Larson said. The plaques will be paid for through funds allocated from the landscaping budget, said Larson. The plaques will be installed in many locations, including: • The Central Plant, finished in 1996, will receive an exterior plaque reading "Central Plant Underground Utility & FiberOptic Loop." • Clinton Plaza, currently under construction on the west side of Old North, will receive a monument containing four
plaques. The plaques will tell the story of President Bill Clinton's April 5, 1996 visit to the UCO campus. • The College of Business Administration, the addition to which was finished in 1997, will receive an interior plaque reading "Business Conference Center." • The expansion to the Communications Building, finished in 1996, will receive an interior plaque reading "Communications Conference Center." • The Education Building, completed in 1996, will receive an interior plaque reading "Education Building." • Heartland Plaza, completed in 1997 and located to the west of the Y-Chapel, will receive a monument containing four plaques. The plaques will contain quotes from people who gave STUDENT SPECIALS

Wimps rule Don Knotts' nervous comedies revisited on the Web saying things like: "You know something, this whole thing is psychological," or "Nip it in the bud!" On the Internet Movie Database at us.imdb.com you can find listings of all of Knott's movies and television appearances, complete with plot summaries, ratings information, critical reviews and purchasing opportunities. At the site "Interesting Ideas," the author known to readers only as "Bill" relates his opinions on Knotts' performances and characterizations. The lengthy essay may or may not have merit, but there is a link to a biography page for those fans eager to know more personal history. OK, you've taken the challenge and you're still not a fan.

And even though you just want to grab him to stop his nervous trembling, much as you would calm a shaking chihuahua, some of his classic characters still have the capacity to make you laugh. Don't believe it? Then take the Don Knotts Challenge. First, rent and watch The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, then go surfing and hit a few of these sites to relive some old Knotts memories you forgot you even had.

The Game depicts vacation in hell By Ryan Dannar Staff Writer
I
n The Game, a stylish new thriller directed by David Fincher, Michael Douglas plays a shrewd businessman whose comfortable existence gradually unravels after he registers with a mysterious company to play a "life experience" game. Nicholas Van Orton, played by Douglas, is an investment banker who lives on his late father's estate, accompanied only by a solemn housekeeper. Van Orton is a smug and cynical man who has retreated from society. He exists in a cold world of stock exchanges and business transactions, and he is haunted by memories of his father, who jumped from the roof of the family mansion when Nicholas was a boy. Douglas plays Nicholas as a darker incarnation of hiS ruthless Wall Street financial guru, Gordon Gekko. Through tightly restrained actions and carefully spoken words, Douglas provides his character with the depth and motivation the script lacks. We sense that beneath Nick's hardnose image, there lies a desperate and dangerous man. Nicholas is surprised on his birthday by a visit from his estranged brother, Conrad, played with an exuberant lack of grace by Sean Penn. Conrad presents Nicholas with a gift certificate entitling him to register with a company
called "Consumer Recreation Services" (CRS) to play a strange kind of game. Nicholas tries to dismiss the invitation, but his brother is persistent. "Think of it as a vacation," Conrad says. "Only you don't go to it; it comes to you. Have some fun for once!" A few days later, Nicholas indulges his growing curiosity by paying a visit to the CRS offices. Amidst humming computers and shuffling employees, Nicholas meets with a company representative who talks him into signing up for the game. "We prefer to describe the game as a profound life experience," the man tells Nicholas. Each game is different, the man says, because each one is tailor-made for its participant. After Nicholas registers, he is put through a day-long battery of physical and psychological evaluations, giving CRS all the information they need to create his game. During a conference a few days later, Nicholas gets a call on his cellphone. When he answers, he is surprised to find a CRS representative on the line. "We're sorry, but your application has been rejected," the woman says. "Please do not feel this reflects negatively on you." It's at this point, of course, that the game actually begins. When Nicholas drives home, he finds a clown dummy lying face-down in the driveway with

a key in its mouth. He takes the dummy upstairs to examine it and is startled when his television begins addressing him personally, offering instructions to play "the game." Nicholas's goal, it seems, is to discover what the object of his game is. In the meantime, he must find different keys which will help him escape some dangerous situations—if he can figure out where to use them. Nicholas's initial reaction to the game is a mixture of mild amusement and annoyance. Soon, however, the game starts spiraling out of his control. He is taken on a cab ride from Hell; his house is broken into and vandalized; his bank accounts are tampered with. Before long, Nicholas has become a man trapped in a hall of mirrors, trying to figure out what's real and what's part of the game. Nicholas finds an ally in a
street-smart waitress, played by Deborah Unger. But is she who she says she is, or is she a part of the growing conspiracy against him? One plot twist follows another, and we're left guessing until the end: Is it all really just an elaborate "game," or is something much more sinister going on? Considering the extent to which the script relies on gimmicks rather than characters to move the story along, it's amazing The Game is as good as it is. Much of the credit for The Game's intensity can be handed to director David Fincher, who proved himself to be a master of cinematic dread with his previous effort, Seven. Fincher brings a sharp eye for detail to The Game, ensuring that his visuals tell just as powerful a story as the script itself. The Game could be criticized for walking the fine line between the believable and the
unbelievable. It's unlikely that any company, no matter how big or how powerful, could anticipate a man's thoughts and actions to the extent that they do in this film. However, it's hard to deny the fun that comes with trying to puzzle out the plot twists and figure out "the game" before Nicholas Van Orton does.

Book, idea censorship amounts to tyranny
S
ome people think this column should be banned. Some people might even think The Vista should be discontinued for publishing such "good ole boy rhetoric" from an apparent "Nazi" like me. They are probably the same pro-censorship people who will grow up to be the new Tipper Gores or Bob Andersons. They are the kind of people who will espouse free speech—as long as it's the speech they want to hear. They are the people who will promote book-banning to save the world from ideas that may be harmful to their own personal agendas. To ban a book, to hide or extinguish an idea that does not agree with one's own personal views, is one of the worst nonviolent crimes we can commit. It is one of the most arrogant acts of tyranny known to man. How
c a n American citizens tolerate the fact that every year works of literature and art are challenged and banned from schools, from libraries, and as we've recently seen in Oklahoma County, from private homes? The self-righteous ideology of people like Bob Anderson, who led the fight to have the film The Tin Drum outlawed, or Tipper Gore, who tried to ban music she found offensive, just stuns me. Who do they think they are? Don't they know they are not
i n Communist Russia or Nazi Germany? T h e freedom to express our ideas, no matter how outrageous or radical, is a part of the very foundation of this country. John Milton, one of the political philosophers of the seventeenth century, urged us to let truth and falsehood grapple in the open marketplace of ideas— and to let the individual determine where truth ultimately rested. Thomas Jefferson and the other framers of the Constitution
took the suggestion to heart and built a nation on that principle. Yet some would ban the Constitution to hide the fact they are violating our civil rights by banning other documents. I wouldn't put it past them. After all, we have other people in this country who have pushed to have the Bible and the Koran made illegal. Great works of literature, monuments of American culture, have been banned from schools and public libraries all over our nation. Can you imagine America without Moby-Dick? How about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? Where would we Okies be without Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath? William Faulkner? Nathaniel Hawthorne? They were emissaries of Satan himself, if you believe some people. Others would say the same about Rush Limbaugh.
Censorship seems to be one issue where both political parties agree the other side should be censored. Admittedly, sometimes the line between what is valuable as a part of our culture and what is just trash is thin and fuzzy. But in all such cases, we must defer to the judgment of the individuals. If those individuals are underage children, the decision must belong to the parents. Not the state. Not some special interest religious group. Not a political party. The individual. Discerning the truth—whether in books, film, or music—is a responsibility of life that belongs to all of us individually. When we become willing to let others tell us what is right and wrong, we have failed as a nation, as a culture, and as a free people to meet that responsibility.
Favorite banned, challenged books described By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer
I
n celebration of Banned Books Week, September 20-27, several UCO students, staff and faculty spoke out and named their favorite banned or challenged books and told why they like those volumes.
Dr. Stephen Garrison, chairperson of the English department, named Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five as his-favorite banned book. "It tells a truth about typical American attitudes better than anything else," Garrison said. "It's an attitude some people don't want to acknowledge." Brittyn Rosebure, a junior in the English department, said D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover is her favorite. "It is really well-written," she said. "It was interesting just to know the history of the book. It was so modern for its time." Carol Barry, assistant director of Public Services for the UCO library said J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye s her favorite challenged
book. "It's an exploration of adolescence growing and challenging what's going on around him." Joan K. Moore, adjunct professor of English, said her favorite is also The Catcher in the Rye. "I just like the way J.D. Salinger writes," Moore said. Dr. Terry Clark, Chairperson of the Journalism Department, said the Bible is his favorite banned book. "Maybe they should ban it so more people will read it," he said. "These people who want to ban The Tin Drum probably want to ban the Old Testament because of its content." Negeen Sovhani, a senior studying English education,
chose George Orwells' 1984 as her favorite challenged book. "I thought it was a really realistic view of the damage government can do. It expressed the paranoia of the time." Bill Whisman, a senior in the journalism department, said his favorite challenged book is Blubber by Judy Blume. "I can't believe that book was banned," he said. "I read it when I was a kid and it changed the way I thought of people." Susan Thompson, managing editor for UCO's literary journal NEWPLAINS Review and a graduate student majoring in MIS chose Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird as her favorite challenged book. "It impressed me how the author was able to portray the injustice of racism," she said.
