Add/drop policy changed By Judy Simpson Staff Writer

Plans are underway to change UCO's five day add/drop period to match the 10 days offered at other state schools and the policy of Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The 10-business-day policy for receiving a full refund on dropped classes will go into effect Spring of 97, said David Koehn, controller for UCO business affairs. The reason for the shorter add/drop time period this fall was "to reserve the integrity of the classes," said Jerry Legere, assistant for enrollment. Two weeks of missed classes is one eighth of the course and instructors don't like having to V See ADD/DROP, Page 4

Home Internet access: Expense or privilege? By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

tudents who have been waiting to access the Internet from home may be one step closerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or maybe not. At a student technology fee committee meeting last week, Ben Harris, speaker of the student senate, proposed that offcampus Internet access be funded by the

student technology fee. Harris said the all-text Internet access students currently have from their home computers is like an "outdated dinosaur." He wants the $4 students pay per credit hour to fund access to more current data. "The whole purpose of the fee is for students to gain information on the World Wide Web and the information age," Harris said. "What we have now is not access to

the information age." However, some believe it's too expensive to even consider. "The monthly fees would eat the institution alive," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment and registration. But Harris disagrees. "If we have a million dollars in the (technology fee) fund and it costs a million, dollars, we should spend it on that."

Harris has appointed Sen. David Tackett to investigate the total costs including Internet access and equipment. Legere said he hopes the senate performs an exhaustive study. Nevertheless, "I'm sure when they finish their study they'll find that we probably could not afford to do it," he said. Dr. Robert Epstein, assistant professor V See COMPUTERS, Page 6

Leadership disguised as public relations: The UCO legacy rr he President's Leadership Council (PLC) sent out 1,375 1 invitations to faculty and staff for a reception held Sept.17 in order to introduce themselves. Keynote speaker George Nigh no-showed the party, reportedly because he was stuck at Shangri-La resort at Grand Lake. But Nigh was't the only one to miss the festivities. When that bright day dawned, the only ones who showed their shining faces were PLC members and about 18 of their closest faculty/staff friends. Roger Harwell said if he received an invitation, he didn't remember it, and that as a custodian in the Student Center, where the reception was held, he was too busy to attend anyway. Junior representative Travis White said he was disappointed at the low turnout, but that he supposed a lot of teachers were in class. "All of my teachers are," he said. "It's really convenient for us (PLC) because we have a PLC meeting right after this and pictures to take," said White. Alternative times for the event were not considered, he said. Susan Thompson, director of student services, said the PLC is basically a networking organization. All student members are recipients of university scholarships and are expected to act as ambassadors for the university by serving student organizations in a leadership capacity, she said. But whom can they network with if they are the only ones not working? The whole concept of giving scholarships to hand-picked students in exchange for promises of leadership is suspect. Surely the PLC does plenty of good deeds, but it's not likely that anyone introduced to them at this event would know it. If this little gala is representative, PLC is PR BS.

LETTERS

Key changes in policy affect student's argument ince I wrote my Sept. 10 letter opposing the SGA takeover of the student activities budget, I have been informed of several key changes in the proposed SGA constitution that detracted from my argument. My arguments over partiality were completely destroyed in the Sept. 9 SGA meeting. Speaker Ben Harris pushed an amendment through allowing every student organization on campus, regardless of their involvement with accepting Student Activity money, a seat in the senate of the proposed bicameral SGA. This gives every student organization representation and say in the disbursement of Student Activity funds, thereby eliminating partiality. Secondly, SGA will not be funding itself from the Student Activity Budget, but instead the administration will determine their budget. In another amendment, moneys received by The Vista and other journalism department organizations will not be under SGA control, thereby preserving the free speech these organizations so richly deserve. SGA should be commended for their efforts in eliminating partiality in their constitution, and please accept my apologies for not doing enough research in forming my first editorial letter (something students reading this should remember for their editorial letters). However, I am not sorry for what appeared on Sept. 10 nor will I apologize for it. If anything else, it drew some much needed attention to issues that most students I know were concerned over, despite whether or not SGA made the proper amendments and when they were made. I still believe that the career-related and international student associations need their freedom from the "political hell" of the new SGA constitution. Since SGA has shown its willingness to compromise, I will, too. I will be able to support the new SGA constitution if the following two amendments are made: 1. Create an option to allow the new senator to represent more than one organization. All organizations would be offered a seat in the senate, but each organization has the option to have a

senator from an organization represent them for the year. This way, nobody will be excluded, plus organizations which are too small or could care less will not have to fully participate in needless political games. Of course, just one vote per senator. 2. Make the takeover of the Student Activities budget a minimum three-year or three-step program that will be evaluated each year. Under the current proposal of SGA the administration will be throwing almost $250,000 at a completely inexperienced budgeting committee. Compare that to the experience of the faculty committee that currently determines the budget, and it's pretty clear who I would trust with my money. I think a three-step program works best here. In the first year, SGA elects three members and the faculty appoints six members to the SGA Appropriations Committee. This way, SGA can properly learn how the appropriations process works. The president of the university evaluates the first step after the end of the first year and then initiates the second step the following year. In the second step, which would give SGA sole-control over their Appropriations Committee in the final year of the program. The president evaluates again, only this time he has the option to retract to a lower step if needed. Otherwise, SGA proves itself to everyone that they can handle the money and the president approves full control. It is nice to see that SGA is willing to take leadership in turning Student Activity money over to the students. It is not nice that by doing so, SGA forces unwilling students in needless politics, but sacrificing organizational independence will be necessary to give students control over their activity dollars. SGA, please consider these amendments. I think you may find unanimous support from the students at the "end of the rainbow" if these changes are included in the new constitution. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Eddy Hrdlicka UCO student

get students caught up, he said. Some students think the policy was too strict. UCO junior Katherine Lee, said "It isn't fair most people don't know in a week's time if they're going to keep a class or not. I kept classes I didn't want just because I didn't want to lose the money I put into the course." "I think it was too strict," said UCO student Debra Mabry. "A friend of mine lost money and three credits; one week is not enough time." The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education allows schools to set their own calendars for add/drop and tuition payments as long as they stay within the board's maximum requirement of 10 business days for a full refund on dropped courses. UCO was the only state school this fall to require tuition to be due 18 days before classes started. Other state schools required tuition to be due on the first day or several weeks after classes started before charging late fees.

RICHMOND-Virginia Military Institute is slow to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling this summer to accept women or go private, the U.S. Justice Department said. The department asked a federal court Sept. 10 to order the all-male military college to stop "its exclusionary practices" and start sending applications to women who request them. But VMI officials denied the accusation, saying the college has planned for weeks to announce whether it will accept women or go private after a Sept. 21 board meeting. In July, the Supreme Court ruled that VMI's policy of denying admission to women is unconstitutional. Since then, the institute has received 54 inquiries from women since the ruling. But instead of sending them applications, the college has referred the women to its website and advised them about the meeting.

Professor-priest earns award for literary achievements By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

eaching an ancient language has earned one UCO professor recognition from his peers. This year, professor of foreign language, Acharyulu Vedaka, was honored for his literary achievements and given the title, "Scholar of Philosophy" by the

American Teluga Association. The plaque was given for his dedication and commitment to preserve, promote and propagate Vedic Knowledge and Hindu Philosophy. Vedaka has been teaching Hindu philosophy and Sanskrit, an Asian Indian language, at UCO since 1992. Graduating from Audhra University and Andhra State in India, he speaks five languages

and is scholarly in three. "Sanskrit is a language of meditation and yoga, which is the joining of soul and mind," Vedala said. He acts as a priest at the Hindu Temple of Oklahoma, which he established. The temple is located in Oklahoma City on Coltrane, off of Wilshire Boulevard.

UCO President George Nigh confirmed yesterday a shortfall of $800,000 in the general budget. Nigh said the funding deficit was due enrollment. "At this point in time we are looldng at the impact (on the budget) of the drop in enrollment at the university T 'in not prepared to discussin detail any plans of hoW

even sets of eyes were glued to a computer monitor Tuesday afternoon when Pack 933, Den 3 visited UCO. The cub scouts came to campus for an animation demonstration. Keith Bowden, who teaches desktop publishing in the Liberal Arts Graphic Arts Lab, answered eager questions from the 7-yearolds about how movies like the Lion King move from the idea stage to the big screen. "You guys want clouds?" Bowden asked as he clicked on an icon for clouds. "Oh cool....that looks real," said the boys as dark clouds rolled across the blue sky. Untied high-tops dangle from blue swivel chairs that are too high for the scouts. "I have a model that I worked on today to show you guys," Bowden said.

Alumni engage in time travel during Homecoming trip back in time awaits alumni-during Homecoming festivities next week. In the two years since Thatcher Hall was converted from a men's dormitory to an office building, a committee of three alumni have worked to preserve the history of one of UCO's oldest buildings. The fruits of their efforts can be viewed during an open house at the Thatcher Hall Museum and restored dormitory room, Room 136, from 2-4 p.m. Sept. 27 and from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 28. The one-room museum, located adjacent to the first floor lobby, displays artifacts from the dormitory dating back to its construction in 1937. Items were rescued from storage boxes when remodeling began in 1994, said Dale Reeder, preservation committee member. Reeder, who calls the restoration project a passion of his, said he hand carried old dormitory items out of the building to save them from destruction. Display items include an original intercom system box that was used to buzz residents in their rooms when a message awaited them at the front desk. "They would buzz us according to our last initial," said Reeder, a resident of Thatcher Hall in the late 1950s. "If your roommate's name began with a letter that came before yours in the alphabet, he would get one buzz and you would get two," he said. A buzz indicated there was either a phone call for you, a visitor or a package,

said Reeder. . The museum also displays photographs of life in the dormitory from the 1930s through the 1960s. Committee member, Annette Ryan, provided many of the pictorial archives, including a photographic montage of the hall's namesake, Richard Thatcher, president of the Territorial Normal School from 1891-1893. Original 1930s furniture can be found in the museum, the lounge and the recreated dorm room. Room 136 has been restored to depict a dormitory room typical of the early years at Thatcher Hall. The ceiling was torn out and raised to the original height, said Reeder. When the building was remodeled for air conditioning in the 1960s, low ceilings were installed to allow for the air ducts above. Air conditioning was unheard of on campus when Reeder attended in the 1950s. But he said they had functional methods of ventilation. To demonstrate he pulled a brass lever beside the door opening the wooden transom above. "We would open a window on one side of the room and open the transom," he said. "That was our air conditioning." The doorway and transom in Room 136 are as they were in 1937, said Reeder. All light fixtures, the sink and its fixtures, the floor and the furniture are also from the original building. Reeder said he, Ryan and a third

committee member, Kathryn Kunc studied old pictures and Bronze Books to determine the type of wall hangings, clocks and other items used in the dorm rooms throughout the years. The committee members bought similar pieces at antique shops to recreate the atmosphere of a dorm room that combines styles from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, a time Reeder describes as the "heyday of Thatcher Hall." Reeder relates his passion for preserving Thatcher's history to the fact that 16 members of his family have graduated from college here. "Five uncles and two cousins lived in Thatcher Hall before me," he said. Reeder discovered the dorm was

closing while visiting the building one day in 1994. "It struck an emotional cord," he said, adding that those feelings spurred him and the other committee members on during the past two years. Reeder said all alumni who lived at Thatcher Hall will be recognized with a special certificate during the open house. "We really want to find anyone who lived in Room 136," he said, encouraging visitors to spread the word about the search. "This project has been a passion for me with a capital `P'," he said. "This place has character." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

LADY BRONCHO INVITATIONAL

Herrin expects squad to win at home By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer

Central Oklahoma volleyball coach Mark Herrin expects his team to defend their home floor in the Lady Broncho Invitational this weekend. Herrin said that a team's intensity level goes up in a volleyball tournament, but on their home floor it goes up even more. "It's their floor, they want to win their tournament," he said.

freshman rightside hitter Dee Goble has stepped in to rank third. Sophomore Arwin Schneider earned conference setter of the week last week. Against Pittsburgh State, she set up 68 kills,the fifth-highest single-game assist total in school history. "We don't want them to peak for a long time. This is all preparation for things that will come later in the season." Herrin said late-season wins will leave a better impression on the postseason selection committees. "The kids are doing a good job of getting better every time they walk out onto the floor. I'm excited about that."

ABILENE, Texas - Things didn't go quite as planned for the Central Oklahoma tennis squads as weekend rains washed out their tournament. UCO had planned to compete in the Wal-Mart Tournament when they arrived at Abilene Christian University. They awoke Friday morning to rain and soon found the tournament canceled.

Both teams played two duals with teams in the tournament Friday and had one dual Saturday before returning home. The men's squad went 1-2, defeating Cameron and losing to host Abilene Christian and West Texas A&M. The women also went 1-2, defeating West Texas A&M and falling to Eastern New Mexico and Abilene Christian.

"We didn't play our dual lineup," UCO coach Francis Baxter said. "but we got some pretty good results." The team also had to combat lack of sleep. Their second match finished at 2 a.m. Saturday morning. They then had duals at noon. - From Staff Reports

THE BAD... and the

THE MEDIOCRE Three bands: Orleans, Dig and Sublime get their newest renderings critiqued â&#x20AC;&#x17E;..

something .that has: aly been done once since the beginning 'of the Entertainment pages. This happens when a CD is so bad I don't want to be anywhere near it. What I'm talking about is a CD giveaway! That's right folks. A completely free one to do with as you like. But be careful. This CD was, and I can't stress this enough people, really really bad. Oh sure, if this was 1982 and Glam rock was at its peak and Def Leppard still walked the Earth, then I could kind of see it, but it's not. Orleans, (or is it Orleans) sounds a little bit like Meat Loaf, but with the cheesy, love-sick, sickening lyrics of say, Milli Vanilli or Color Me Bad. So, in essence, what we have here is a seriously outdated (not to mention lame even when wasn't dated) sound. This is the type of band that you wouldn't want to sit through at a free concert. Of course,that's my opinion, I could be wrong But if you don't want to take my word for it, I've got one copy. First come first serve. OD

Rating:

he critic in me wants to jump to conclusions and question originality, but the kid in me wants to boogie, know what I mean? The five-member bands newest CD, Defenders of the Universe, is pretty good, but I don't know if I'd say they'd hit the "universal" mark yet. The most simple explanation of their sound would be Tripping Daisy meets Material Issue. This makes for an interesting combination, but Dig pulls it out pretty convincingly. The 12-track CD gets more and more interesting as it goes along. I don it: on too thick name you he I doubt they're the kind of band that would play the Myriad the first time out but they're definitely worth checking out. Defenders of the Universe has a lot of highlights, such as good guitar lines, and decent lyrics, but mostly it's nice to hear a band who's roots are grounded in pop.

Rating: ** *

/ don't know why I thought of Heavy, thrash metal or maybe punk. Perhaps it was the tattoos or the pictures and cartoons of the band inside the cover, but when I listened to the CD I realized I couldn't have been more wrong. Sublime specializes in a hiphop, rock type beat box band sound along the lines of Cypress hill or the Beastie Boys than (Insert name of Metal band here). Complete with instrumental samples, record scratches, catchy beats and well-placed lyrics. Refreshing in a way. It's not surprising that Sublime is rapidly gaining popularity. If hip-hop/ semi-upbeat stuff is your bag or you like Dance Hall Crashers or the songs Beck has on MTV, then you'll probably dig on Sublime. Think about this though: How's that guy going to feel if his band goes bust by some chance.

Rating: ** Reviews are rated on the five star scale. Five is the best possible rating and one is the least.

Committee to conduct study of campus improvements By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

A new committee will conduct a study of UCO's construction, budget and instructional equipment based on an accreditation evaluation nearly four years ago. In October 1992, a North Central Association (NCA) team visited UCO's campus to evaluate the different colleges and departments. The NCA teams, composed of educators and administrators from various universities within the north central region, visit other institutions and evaluate their performance. The accreditation review, which occurs every 10 years, is not a requirement, said Dr. Albert Lynd, associate vice president for academic affairs. It merely helps the university meet a set of standards. The latest NCA report on UCO addresses problems such as the enrollment decline in the College of Business Administration and the lack of classroom space and heavy teaching loads in the College of Liberal Arts. Regarding the College of

Albert Lynd

Mathematics and Science, the report states that, "many microscopes need replacing, _models and charts are needed for demonstrations..." "The college has no equipment budget of its own," it stated. Many of the team's findings will not be reviewed by the NCA again until 2002 when they will return for another comprehensive review. But they will be back before then. In September 1997, UCO will experience a focused review of its facilities, budget and classroom and laboratory equipment—three areas in which the association felt the university was lacking. In preparation for that visit, a self-study committee, comprised of 23 representatives from the faculty, administration and student body, will present a report to the NCA responding to

their concerns. "I do not think we're still falling short in any of these areas," said Lynd, who chairs the , committee with Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs."We've done an awful lot in four years.". The technology fee has provided improvements for computers and laboratories. And the $54 million renovation campaign allowed for the reconstructing and remodeling of the physical structure of the university, he said. The only area that may not be up to par is the budget, he said. "When the bulk of your budget is given to you by someone else," he said, "all we can do is make our case to that group that our funding is not equitable to our enrollment." In many cases there's not enough money to go around, he said. The committee's report which Lynd said he hopes to complete by May 1997, will require research including input from the campus community. A method for feedback has not been decided but will probably be in the form of a survey, Lynd said.

Meal plans available for residents, commuters By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer

ultiple meal programs are available for residents and commuter students at UCO, but none of the options allow purchases at the Express Food Court. The University Housing contract states that all resident students are required to have a meal contract. As of now that is how the contract is set up, said Carroll Van Duyn, director of Resident Housing. The contract rates are for housing and food services. Residents have the choice of 4 meal programs: 20 meals, 14 meals, 10 meals and the Flexentials plan. Twenty, 14 and 10 meals allows students to eat the allotted amount each week in Central cafeteria only. The Flexentials (Flex) plan allows students to have five meals a week and a declining account that can be used at four locations. The five meals are for Central cafeteria. The declining account can be used at Central Cafeteria, `89er Cafeteria, Redbud. Room and the Union Station Express convenience store. The '89er Cafeteria will be open on Sept. 23, said A. K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Enterprises. Each account has a beginning balance of $72.50, this is the inital payment. During the semester $99.83 will be deposited in three installments. Account balances are carried over each month during a semester. Two semester plans are carried over to the next semester. Any remaining money left at the end of the contract is nonrefundable. Students are not given credit or refunds for meals not used during any given week. Commuter students can purchase Broncho Bucks as a way of buying meals without using cash.

Bucks are a declining balance account that can be used at any of the four eating establishments. They can be purchased in multiples of $50 and are used year-round. Any balance left after termination date is not refundable or transferable. Although Bucks save students from the hassle of dealing with money, it is not as cheap as eating in the Express Food Court. Central cafeteria meals are: $3.25 for breakfast; $4.50 for lunch; and $4.75 for dinner. Meals are all-you-can-eat. Redbud Room offers an allyou-can-eat lunch for $4.95 through the week and a Sunday

lunch buffet at $3,50 for children, $7.25 for adults and $6.50 for senior citizens. Students wanting a hambuger and fries from Burger King will pay about 90 cents more at the Redbud. The Broncho burger comes with fries and a choice of toppings including sauteed mushrooms. Prices are subject to change. The '89er Cafeteria and the Union Station Express prices vary according to the type of purchase. "I am researching an idea where the declining balance accounts can be used in the Express Food Court," said Rahman. The idea will not be complete for another year. 4

University fraternity goes substance-free MADISON—After years of trouble with alcohol and hazing violations, Thea Chi fraternity at the University of WisconsinMadison has decided to shed its "Animal House" image by adopting a substance-free policy. The fraternity, whose membership has dwindled over the last few years, hopes to attract a new breed of college men: those who can do without the alcohol and tobacco at house parties. That doesn't mean Theta Chi brothers need to take on a completely chaste lifestyle. The substance-free policy applies only to events at the fraternity house itself, said Dave Westol, executive director of Theta Chi's national headquarters in Indianapolis. "Members can go out somewhere and have an event and have alcohol or tobacco there," he said. The policy is catching on across the nation for a number of reasons, including lower insurance rates, better living conditions and the academic improvements of members, he said. But with rush season set to begin later this month at Wisconsin, it remains to be seen how popular the new policy will be with freshmen. Already, Theta Chi has sent letters to more than 3,000 first-year male students to encourage them to visit the substance-free house. —By College Press Service

Phony scholarship search bilk millions from students "Free money for college." Advertisements promising students unclaimed scholarship funds can be found stuffed in campus mailboxes, in school newspapers and on billboards and the Internet. For struggling students, signing up with such scholarship search services may be tempting—but costly. This year thousands of students will be scammed out of millions of dollars by phony scholarship search services, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As students become increasing desperate to pay for the high costs of college, they are easy prey for these con artists who promise to link them to unclaimed fortunes in scholarship funds. "Bogus scholarship search services are just a variation on the 'you have won' prizepromotion scam, targeted to a particular audience—students and their parents who are anxious about paying for college," said Jodie Bernstein, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. As part of a major crackdown, the FTC last week announced "Project $cholarScam," under which it filed charges in federal district court against five companies. The companies targeted by the FTC are Career Assistance Planning, Inc. (doing business as: College Assistance Planning, College Assistance Program and C.A.P.); Christopher Ebere Nwaige (Uses the names: Higher Education Scholarship Program; National Health Scholarship Program, Division of Nursing; National Scholarship Program; National Merit Scholarship Program; and National science Program, Division of Biological Sciences); Student Assistant Services, Inc.); College Assistance Services, Inc.; and Student Aid Incorporated. "This is only the tip of the iceberg, there are a ton of these

out there," said Dana Lesemann, an attorney with the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection. "The ultimate job is for consumers to educate themselves. THere is only so much law enforcement we can do." Scholarship search companies usually charge from $10 to $400 in upfront fees, guaranteeing results. In reality what the student gets are outdated lists for scholarships where deadlines have passed or for which they are ineligible. In some cases companies go so far as to ask students for account numbers and then debit their checking accounts or credit cards without consent. Tales of scams are endless. One of the main marketing schemes that lure in students is the misrepresentation of just how much unused scholarship money is available. "Families are being enticed with this very inaccurate belief that there is a huge amount of financial aid going unused," explains Barry McCarthy, financial aid director at LaFayette College in Pennsylvania. "There is a rampant claim that $6.6 billion is available in unclaimed scholarships." In actuality, that figure has nothing to do with the average college students, but concerns employee benefits—tuitionreimbursement programs and other related benefits provided by companies to its workers. According to Mark Kantrowitz, who maintains a financial aid information page on the web, the $6.6 billion figure was cited 20 years ago in a congresional study as the maximum dollar amount in employer-provided educational benefits that was not being used. "These funds are available only to employees and their dependents, not the general public," he added. An annual report for the Citizen's Scholarship Foundation of America, which

administers more private-sector scholarship programs than any other organization, shows they awarded $41.7 million in scholarship, not one penny of which went unclaimed. To get a more precise number on exactly what is available in private-sector monies, the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, is currently doing research. But, according to the spokesperson Madeline McClean, "the 6.6 billion is totally outrageous." According to Kantrowitz, figures reported for the total amount of private-sector aid vary considerably. He says there does seem to be a consensus that a total of $1.25 billion is awarded each year to roughly 4 percent of the student population. Dan Cassidy, president of National Scholarship Research Service and author of several scholarship directories, has studied the Canadian system of scholarship applications. There, students send one application to a central agency, which then distributes the funds. He has received a grant to test ProjectFAST, a streamlined application process. It would allow students, for a fee, to submit one application that a company then transmits directly to scholarship sources, instead of requiring the student to apply to separate sources. But for now, there are no short cuts, when applying for scholarships, the FTC says you simply must "do your homework." "The quiz we want all students and their parents to pass has just one question: Will a legitimate search service really guarantee you a scholarship? The answer is no," said Bernstein. —By Sunni DeNicola

Physics Club to offer free classes on web page creation By Lisa Tatum

Staff Writer

magine sending your resume to 20 million people a day without spending a single cent on postage. According to one UCO senior, all that's needed is a web page and he wants to show you how to create one. Mark Fitzpatrick, president of the UCO Physics Club will teach a free class on the basics of creating a web page in October. Fitzpatrick, who has been designing web pages for different organizations for more than a year, said he saw a need for the class after discovering that private instructors were charging up to $45 per hour for the information. "It's hard for beginning students who haven't gotten on the Internet to find how to do this," he said. Fitzpatrick said he grew up tinkering with computers and learned about web pages from observing how others designed them. After spending about 25 hours a week exploring the Internet and learning web page formatting tricks, Fitzpatrick said he started designing the sites for businesses. He said he spends about four hours a day on-line and is still learning about web pages.

"Everyday there is something new to learn," he said. Fitzpatrick said students can expect to learn the following basics from the two two-hour classes: • History of the Internet • Where to find tools, pictures and information on the Internet to use in a web page • Basic elements of web page design including page layout. "Anything you can write down on paper—you can make into a web page," said Fitzpatrick. He said resume web pages are a growing trend as are public awareness pages on topics like the environment. "An estimated 20 million people subscribe to Internet services so the potential to reach that many people is there," he said. Fitzpatrick said that he believes knowing how to set up a web page is a good skill for all students to have. "Students need to be diverse," he explained, adding that employers look for employees with Internet skills. The time, date and location of the web page class is still undetermined but interested students can sign up at the physics department in the basement of Howell Hall or contact Fitzpatrick by e-mail at mf0528@broncho.ucok.edu .
