UCO investigation over, professor sanctioned By Steve Sager Staff Writer
Mother's heart transplant gives life to baby girl PLEASANT HILL, La. (AP) — A 19-year-old woman's new heart brought her new life in more than one sense. She's expecting a baby in November. Angela Davis had a heart transplant nearly 18 months ago. Her heart was enlarged and weakened by a condition called cardiomyopathy. "I was awful sick before my transplant and I didn't feel too good before that. I just stayed in bed, just didn't do too much," she said. Doctors told Mrs. Davis to wait a year after the transplant to get pregnant. But two months before the deadline, she and her husband, Steve, 21, learned she was pregnant. However, doctors said Mrs. Davis' new heart has done even better since her pregnancy. The baby, a girl, is due Nov. 30.
Priest gunned down following Pope's urging PALERMO, Sicily (AP) — A parish priest who followed the pope's urging to speak out against the Mafia has been killed.
The Rev. Giuseppe Puglisi, a priest in one of Palermo's poorest neighborhoods, was found shot in the neck late Wednesday on the doorstep of his house. Police said they had no immediate leads. Italian news reports said the slaying may have been an attempt by the mob to intimidate the Roman Catholic Church in Sicily. When Pope John Paul II toured Sicily in May, he urged local priests to raise their voices in the battle against the Mafia. Puglisi stepped up his preaching against organized crime and led a commemoration in July for two anti-Mafia judges assassinated the previous year.

UCO to hold financial aid seminar Sept. 22 By Todd Smethers Student Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma's financial aid department will conduct a financial aid and money management seminar on Sept. 22. Topics ranging from "Financial Help," "Managing a Money Crunch," "25 Ways To Live On Less" and "Paying Bills" will be covered. The seminar will be divided into two sessions. The first, at 1 p.m., features UCO home economics professor, Dr. Candy Sebert, as the guest speaker. Financial aid lenders with promotional information will be present at the first session as well. Bancfirst and Citizens Bank of Edmond have been confirmed. "It will be very, very beneficial to the students to hear the information presented," said Richard Rolison, peer counselor of the financial aid department.. "It will not only help with financial aid funds but will help students to meet personal finances as well." The second session will be held at 3 p.m. "The whole office will be present. It will give students an opportunity to meet everyone. People they normally don't meet face to face," Rolison said. "They can meet everyone and find out their duties. It will help students with who they need to contact. The counselors will be the point people." 'V See SEMINAR, Page 5

Officials should leave machinery alone f it ain't broke... e University of Central Oklahoma is considering a proposal to divide the College of Liberal Arts and add two departments from the College of Education to form a fifth college, the College of Fine Arts.
ASSOA1*-2rHe-110/14eCoM10-a4A4e TO se kr A *Re traamotAc -rme, 13(ztrAt.) A (ZR 1 VeS "ro -1/4rilf) Po Pt NiS TEAM.
In what Fred Grosz, faculty senate president, called, "a real serious issue," the proposed fifth college would contain a School of Music, a School of Theatre Arts, a School of Visual Arts, and a School of Communications. The big question is why?
c.s. jennings/The Vista
We already have music, theatre, art, and communications at UCO. Leaping into the red tape of budgetary impacts, administrative procedures, and university politicsseems analogous to making unnecessary repairs on a machine that already works. The main concern among administrative officials is the duplication of classes that now exists between the journalism and visual arts department. A much simpler solution might be to just trim the fat instead of replacing the hog. Eliminate the duplication, and the problem goes away. It isn't necessary to undergo a major operation to accomplish such a minor feat. You don't replace an engine just because the oil is dirty. To use another analogy, if your four-room house has structural damage, you don't try to fix the problem by adding another room. At a time when funding is already tight, it seems the UCO officials would be even more in favor of simplifying university procedures than normal, rather than embroiling the various school bodies in complication and controversy.
In other words, it's not broke, so . . . don't try to fix it!

Citizens should fight for freedom
F
reedom of the press! Free speech! Right now your government is trying to take that away. One of the very things the founders of this nation felt was so important that they risked (and may lose) their families, their possessions and their lives was freedom of the press. Right now the Food and Drug Administration has issued rules that will take effect as of Jan. 1, 1994 that will destroy this freedom unless Congress acts and passes a law to offset it. These rules will, one, make it illegal for anyone to make a health claim for a product unless pre-approved by the FDA, regardless of how many scientific studies upheld his claim. Secondly, the rules will make all herbs unapproved new drugs that are not documented (by the FDA) as traditional food herbs. This would destroy the health food industry and all the health food stores across the country and their suppliers. Farmers and ranchers would be severely impacted economically, because 90 percent of all heal th food products come from agriculture. 'Three, It would place natural, safe products for body-building in the same category as illegal drugs and steroids — an unapproved new drug, available to no one, not even medical doctors! In May 1992, the FDA issued its Dietary Supplements Task Force Final Report. Page 2 lists: ". .. to ensure that the existence of dietary supplements on the market does not act as a disincentive for drug development." In other words, if there is a safe, natural
and effective way to handle a health problem, the FDA is going to make sure it is unavailable to the populace. And, listed in the same paragraph on Page 2 is: "how to limit the potential for fraud, i.e., disease claims made on labels or through other means, e.g., magazine articles, newsletters and advertisements ... " Censorship! Now, many would immediately say that it is good that the consumer be shielded from fraud. But the actual facts in the last two years show that the FDA has a deliberate campaign on to eliminate any competition with manufactured drugs. It has lost four major lawsuits in the last year. It is time we forced our government to go back to basic principles of law, and not be allowed to purger themselves and get search and arrest warrants without having to present the evidence to grand juries in civil matters. It's not as if these companies and businesses were armed and dangerous criminals. The FDA does not need to kick down the doors of reputable medical doctors and shove guns in their faces of their patients and staff as they did in Dr. Jonathan Wright's case (and several others too numerous to list here). It is time for the journalism and media people across this nation to wake up to the spitting on of their trade by the government and put an end to it! It is time, once again, for investigative journalism, and true patriotic Americans to be engaged in the business of standing up for freedom of speech and press. Do not allow the government to gag the news media! If it is the
truth, and it can be substantiated by significant facts and study, then there must be no infringement on that right by government. Especially a bureau of the government who has already stated that its aim is to eliminate competition with drug development. The FDA throughout the Final Report shows it intends to monitor the consumer's thought process. If a person wishes to use a herb for a food, that is fine, but if that same herb might be used for a health reason, then it is illegal. On Page 17 is this gem: "The Task Force has also studied the concept of 'intended use' as it relates to dietary supplements that are used and covertly promoted for use as drugs and has offered recommendations for the regulation of such products. A case in point is the sale of niacin at high dosage levels (what does the FDA consider high dosage levels?) under the guise of a nutrient, but being used for lowering blood cholesterol." The point here is that a government agency is taking it upon themselves to determine what use you intend to make of a safe product. They are taking on the role of "Thought Police!" This is unacceptable in a democratic society in which the government is supposed to do the will of the people!
It is time for journalists and media to take back our freedom from the bureaucrats. As t.he famous saying goes, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance! —Charles Hallmark Sulphur, Okla.

Reader responds to letter about convicted felon coverage This is in response to Ms. Daugherty's Sept. 16, 1993 letter. I feel that you had a very "biased" view of the situation. As far as the administration "caring" about the safety of the students, had Mr. Miller not already been attending the University via "Talk Back TV?" It would seem reasonable to assume that the University was aware he was a convicted felon since he was taking the classes from jail! If the only concern if the administration was the safety of the students, then why was he allowed to enroll and live in the dorms in the first place? You also said that this was a University, not therapy for rehabilitated criminals. Are you saying that no other students that attend UCO have a criminal record? Get real. Do you think that every student who has a previous criminal history wears a t-shirt that says "CONVICTED FELON"? Or do you think you can tell what a criminal looks like? You also had a remark about Dr. Rettig commenting on Mr. Miller's ability to produce superior working" is "not the point?" And that Mr. Miller's intelligence is "not the issue"? First, what exactly, is you point? That no one that has been incarcerated has the right to attend college? Consider this thought: would you rather let Mr. Miller attend the university at his own expense, better himself, and then attempt to repay society by helping other criminals, or would you rather him be the same person now as when he entered prison? If the latter is the case, when Mr. Miller received parole (which he would, regardless of his education) being the same as he was before, he just might have been released only to rape your sister or your friend? Would you still deny him the chance to change? Second, what his education does prove—previous and desire to continue—is that he wants to change, Mr. Miller does not want to be the same person he was. He didn't have to educate himself, he could have just sat on his butt and watched television his entire prison term. Don't get me wrong—Mr. Miller committed a very serious offense, and his victim's lives will never be the same. Nothing Mr. Miller has done or will ever do will give those women their lives back the way it was before. But the cold, hard truth is that sex offenders will be released from prison, whether we like it or not. It is not fair, not right, but that's the way it is. If this is the case, don't we, as a society, have an obligation to try and change offenders in the goal of preventing future victims? Taking Mr. Miller personally,
with all the publicity he has received, do you think he would grab the first woman he sees and rape her? What would prevent him
from coming on campus and raping someone if he wasn't a student? Nothing the administration of UCO can do, only Mr. Miller
can prevent that. One final comment. Crime has happened, contini)es to happen, and will happen in the future on
this campus, regardless of Mr. Miller.

Walters stands behind turnpike plan Sen. Dave Herbert, a leading critic of the highway plan, told lawmakers Thursday he had reason to believe Walters will scale back his proposal to include only four new turnpikes. "That is not the case and is certainly not true," Walters said Friday. He said the highway plan was developed as a package to fill all the gaps in Oklahoma's transportation system, and should be built as a package. "It makes absolutely no sense to take an arbitrary segment and decide if it's going to stand on its own. The issue is whether or not the entire system stands on its own," Walters said. "And if that's shown in the feasibility, then this project ought to be done, and it ought to be done as a package." Walters predicted feasibility studies now under way on the vari-
ous roads will support the development of them. "Our sense is the system will support and it will be financially feasible to have the kinds of toll increases that we've talked about," Walters said. But he said if the feasibility studies do not support the total project, "then we'd go on to some other priority." Herbert, D-Midwest City, wrote to the six lawmakers on the Bond Oversight Commission but copies of his letter were sent to all members of the House and Senate. "It is my understanding the governor intends to scale down this package to only four toll roads at a cost of approximately $800 million," Herbert wrote. "This would still more than double our debt obligation for the turnpike authority."

I INVESTIGATION Continued from Page 1
Cudjoe said Dr. Wanda Johnson, an assistant professor at UCO, was the faculty member in charge. Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education, said he could not comment on who was sanctioned because it was a personnel matter and therefore confidential. Cudjoe said that she believed that Johnson was given a "slap on the wrist," because she was the sister of UCO Vice President of
Academic Affairs Dr. Clyde Jacobs. "I don't feel like Johnson should be the only one sanctioned though. I feel like Coby should be disciplined also, because he was my professor," said Cudjoe. Cudjoe also said she felt like the investigation should have been done by outside sources. "The whole incident stemmed from a grade I received in Coby's class," said Cudjoe. Cudjoe alleged that she was hired as a research assistant for Dr. Malcolm Coby, Dr. Wanda
Johnson and Dr. Charolette My lesNixon, but worked at a private clinic they owned and was paid with university funds. Cudjoe said that Coby allowed her to miss class in order to do graduate assignments. Coby later made her take a midterm test in which she received a lower than average grade, she said. Upon receiving her mid term grade, Cudjoe claims she dropped the class and was then re-enrolled in an independent study course under the supervision of Elsner.
Cudjoe said she resigned from her position at the clinic because of the low grade she received and also because of the "wrongdoing she found out." "I still say they swept it under the rug, and with education being very political, this will go unrecognized like other incidents." Stacey Murphy, UCO's director of internal auditing, listed several policies and procedures that should be developed to prevent similar problems in the future: -Student workers are not al-
lowed to perform university work at any faculty member's private business. -Students are aware of the responsibilities associated with their jobs. I (Murphy) recommend written job descriptions be provided. -Student worker supervisors have some controls in place which help to verify the accuracy of student time records. -Procedures regarding the hiring and terminating of student workers by completion of Student Employment Action Forms need to be standardized.

Five counselors are in the financial aid department. The 8,000 students who receive financial aid are divided alphabetically among the counselors. "I do not think we have a significant number of students going without financial aid. Over 50 percent are getting aid," Polison said.

Checks for Pell grants, Perkins loans, OTAG, SEOG grants and Bureau of Indian Affairs funds will be distributed. The presentation of scholarship The presentation ofscholarship funds will depend on whether the funds have been received. "There will massive funds going out to the students.

Generally, freshman who compete on any Leval of varsity athletics won't see a lot of playing time. Coaches mainly want older, more experienced players on their team. They usually will only play a young, inexperienced freshman when there is a severe lack of experienced players or the said freshman is exceptionally talented. Stacey Schwartz is exceptionally talented. Recruited from Coronado High School in El Paso, Texas by head volleyball coach Mark Herrin, 18year-old Stacey Schwartz has emerged as a young, bright star on the UCO volleyball horizon. As an outside hitter, she has already made her presence felt. She leads the team in hitting percentage (.346) and is currently fourth in the Lone S tar Conference in that same catagory as of Sept. 14.

Gun club offers self-defense seminar By Joy McNutt
Staff Writer The Oklahoma City Gun Club will sponsor a women's victim prevention seminar Oct. 30 at the gun club on Sorgum Mill Road north of Edmond. The advertising flyer reads "This is an all day class. Bring lunch, drinks, your firearm, if you have one, and 50 rounds of ammunition." Although the women's victim prevention seminar may sound like a shooting class, NRA certified instructor Gary Campbell said, "I talk more about how to avoid violent encounters than about actually
shooting." He stressed that a potential student does not have to have a firearm for the class. "Do not buy one for the class, but if you have one, get some training," he said. "You have to be able to control your equipment to hit what you shoot. More importantly, you have to know when you can and cannot legally shoot. Using a firearm is your last line of defense." UCO students have different views on the need for self-defense instruction. "I don't know if it's because I'm older or what, and I come from the east coast, but I don't think about it at all. I've got friends who carry mace, but I don' t," said Dianne McMahon, senior art ma-
jor. "Yes, I worry," said Lori Briscoe, music theater major. "I used to carry mace until I tried my mace for fun one time; it didn't work so I threw it away." "No, I'm not too concerned," said Crissie Nash, management information systems junior, "But I've never been in a dangerous situation...or if I knew someone that something had happened to, probably I would feel differently." Those concerned or interested may call Gary Campbell at 755-8046 for more information. He recommended pre-registration by Oct. 23 so he can provide enough certified instructors for all students.
Homosexual, bisexual artists form group By Terri King
Staff Writer A group, known as the Queer Consortium, has been formed by eight central Oklahoma artists to provide a forum for the work of gay, lesbian and bisexual artists. The group plans to host art showings on a bi-monthly basis of works by homosexual and bisexual artists and art with gay and lesbian themes. The works will be on display at the offices of the Triangle Association, a non-profit HIV testing, counceling, treatment and out reach center located at 2136
N.W. 39th Street in Oklahoma City. Triangle Association Director, Dale Smithson, said he hopes the Consortium will give all Oklahomans a chance to become familiar with the work of gay, lesbian and bisexual artsts and to act as a kind of community center for them. "It will give the artists a chance to show their work and to celebrate their culture and talent," said Smithson. Smithson said he hopes the collective will break down any barriers or stigma pe opl e may feel about visiting the center.
The first shows will consist of works in pencil, charcoal, painting, paper sculpture and furniture. Smithson said the Consortium wants to present gritty, urban, contemporary works and to have more input by women and people from different cultural groups. The Queer Consortium will open its first art show at 8 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Triangle Association, and the public is welcome. The Triangle Association is open from noon to 10 p.m. seven days a week.

Fraternity launches membership drive By Carol Cole Mills
Staff Writer Sigma Alpha Iota, a professional musical fraternity for women, launched their membership drive with a barbeque and entertainment Monday at an Edmond residence. Co-sponsored by the Edmond Alumnae chapter and the Delta Iota chapter at the University of Central Oklahoma, the party featured a performance by Edmond high school students of five scenes from "The First Territorial Saloon," a musical by Dr. Coleman Smith, a retired UCO music fac-
ulty member. Smith, who was initiated into S AI as a "friend of the arts" last May, was on hand to narrate and play the piano. "The turnout was excellent," reported Laura Iozzi, vice president of SAT. "And the entertainment was lots of fun — it' s a cute musical." Iozzi said goals of the organization include providing cultural experiences for members and the community and helping to develop music in America. Internationally, S AI brings music to third world countries and translates music into Braille.

Heavy rains damage photography lab, again By Dayna Poarch Student Writer
Photography equipment was damaged and parts of the ceiling collapsed after heavy rains flooded the photography lab in the Communications Building, said Dr. Terry Clark, chairman of the Journalism Department.
"Most of the equipment on the north wall got drenched," said Charles Simmons, UCO photography instructor. The photo lab has had flooding problems for several years, Simmons said. There has not been a problem with minor rains, but heavy rainfall has usually flooded the lab, he said. The flooding has also affected photography classes. There was a
record enrollment of 160 students in basic photography, and they are not able to use all of the equipment, Clark said. "Students are not able to use the print room right now. They are trying to accommodate the film developing," Clark said. The physical plant is aware of the seriousness of the problem and are trying to repair the lab as soon as possible, Clark said.

Eugene, Ore. could be haven for other '60s radical fugitives El IGENE, Ore. (AP) "There's a saying that 'Old hippies never die. They just come to Eugene,'" said Ken Schunk, a tic-dye and sandal-clad, 29-years-young hippie who lives with her partner, Dan Drugan, on a homestead south of town. "We've lived all over the country," she said Thursday. "There's more support for the counterculture here than anywhere we've been." Such support may have been part of Oregon's allure for Katherine Ann Power, 44, one of the most sought-after fugitive women in U.S. history. In September 1970, Power drove a getaway car for a gang of radical Vietnam War opponents after they robbed a Boston hank. During the robbery, a policeman was killed. Power escaped capture and, since 1977, has lived quietly in the Willamette Valley under the name Alice Metzinger. She ended her secret life Wednesday, surrendering to authorities in Boston and pleading guilty to manslaughter and armed robbery. "If I were the FBI, I'd spend a lot more time looking for these kind of people in Eugene," said University of Oregon sociologist Jack Whalen. "There could be other Katherine Powers living here."
Four claim ownership of python found in Pennsylvania potty WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police thought a prankster was calling when they got a report of a python in a toilet. "If it's a weird animal call, we're going to get it," said Lt. Roger Blyth. "In the last two years, we've had a chicken, a peacock, two Vietnamese pigs and a silver fox." Linda Ketter, 24, found the 30-inch snake Wednesday morning. At first, the bright colors in the toilet bowl made her think a necktie had fallen in. Then the snake moved. "Talk about a rude awakening," she said. Police dispatched four officers. Blyth removed the greenspotted python with a clothes hanger and boxed it. Four people claimed ownership of the nonpoisonous snake later Wednesday at the Wet Pets store in nearby McMurray. Miss Ketter, who has lived in her home with her daughter since July, said a neighbor told her the previous occupant collected snakes. She said she believes the snake was living in the bathroom pipes, and she unwittingly brought it out recently by pouring drain cleaner into the tub.

Parking permit theft continues on campus By Joy McNutt Staff Writer
Hanging parking permits have been reported missing at an average rate of almost three per school day since the University of Central Oklahoma opened for fall classes. In the first 19 school days, 55 hanging parking permits have been reported missing, said Bob Caldwell, parking services manager. Of the 55 missing, 34 were reported lost and 21 were reported stolen, Caldwell said. Five of the parking permits were later found. If a permit is lost or stolen, it should be reported to Bob Caldwell in Room 206 at the University Center. A new permit will be issued for $5 and the number of the missing permit will be recorded for the UCO Campus Police to investigate. When the police find a hanging permit that has been reported mis s-
ing in a car, they will question the owner of the car bearing that permit, said Sergeant Ted Jones, UCO police department. Depending on how the person got the permit, charges could be brought against the owner of the car displaying the missing permit, Jones said. Charges could be from petty larceny to burglary of an auto, and conviction penalties could range from a fine to two to seven years in the penitentiary, he said. Only one permit has been reported missing from an open jeep and one from a convertible, Caldwell said. No special provision for permits for open cars has been made for this year, Caldwell said, but stickers have been discussed for next year. Nothing has been decided about parking permits for next year yet, he said. To prevent theft of the hanging permits, Jones said to lock the vehicle and keep track of where it is in the car. It should be properly displayed to avoid being ticketed. He also sui,rfestedkeeping a record of the number of the permit.

Edmond hires 4 firefighters, 12 more to come By Joy McNutt Staff Writer Edmond's fire service recently hired four new firefighters and will hire 12 more in 1993-94 to man Fire Station number four, a new station, to be built at S.E. 15th Street and Interstate 35 next summer, said Kevin Smith, Edmond Firefighters Association spokesperson. Edmond's is the fastest growing fire service in Oklahoma for the community's size, except for Oklahoma City, Smith said. Mayor Randel Shadid said the
temporary sales tax levied for the fire station and expanding the police station will end February 1994. At that time, bids will be taken and then construction on the station will probably start in summer. Three 12-week academies will be held to train six new firefighters at a time, Smith said. The first academy started this week. Six more will be hired in October and will begin their training Jan. 2, 1994. Applicants will have to pass stringent testing prior to employment, he said. Physical tests of agility and body strength such as lifting ladders,
carrying a dummy, climbing the aerial ladder truck to 80 feet, walking a 10-foot straight line blindfolded and others must be passed, said Gil Harryman, deputy fire chief of Edmond. Also, written tests for reading comprehension, video comprehension and labor management must be passed. "Competition is stiff," Harryman said. Recently, 292 applicants competed for four positions. Those interested may apply at the City of Edmond Personnel Office at 100 East First Street.

KAPLAN RULES
The Visual Arts and Design department at the University of Central Oklahoma is in the process of creating a procedure for university departments and staff who wish to acquire art works for display produced by UCO art students. In the past, people have contacted the art department requesting art works by students for display in their offices and there have been misunderstandings when the department was unable to comply, said Bob E. Palmer, assistant professor of Visual Arts and Design. With the new procedure, anyone wanting art for display could call the art department and make
arrangements to come to a critique, which is when the students display works in progress and completed works for evaluation and grading by the instructor, arrangements could then be made for the purchase of the item or for the commissioning of custom work by a student. "We want the opportunity to work with people," said Palmer, "we are not a gallery and we are not trying to make lots of money, but ideally we want the students to get paid for their work." Palmer said that he wants students to be able to have work displayed on campus. With this procedure, a contract will be drawn up to set up guidelines.

UCO professors urge students to form ACM chapter on campus
Novelist to speak Oct. 2 in Pegasus Theater
the computer industry. By Anthony Tompkins Student Writer
By Joy McNutt
Staff Writer Novelist Mike McQuay. who wrote "Escape From New York," will speak at the Creative Studies Writers Institute meeting Oct. 2 in the Pegasus Theater in the Liberal Arts Building. McQuay taught at the University of Central Oklahoma from 1980-1990. "He is a very dynamic teacher." said Dr. Christopher F. Givan, chairman of the creative studies department. McQuay said he will explain "Dynamic Plotting." the importance ofkeeping the reader's tastes in mind as one writes. "Writing is the entertainment business," said McQuay, who has published "about 35 books." "It is emotions we're selling. Writing is window dressing for human emotion." "Books of fiction are lies," said McQuay. "The only truth in fiction is the emotion." Since writing manipulates emotions, he said writers need to be careful not to cheapen their work by making emotion their only goal. Good writing has a message, he said. He writes about the "heartless inhumanity of bureaucracy and the survival of the human spirit in the midst of systems over which
Mike McQuay they have no control." McQuay has also written short stories and columns for magazines. But, he said he has not written many screenplays because it is a "horrible, slimy business." He is working on a novel based on interviews with Carrie Leigh, whom he said was Hugh Hefner' s live-in lover for five years. The book has been pre-sold to St. Martins, he said. The CSWI meeting will begin
at 9:30 a.m. with free coffee and doughnuts. The program will begin at 10 a.m. Students interested in joining should contact the creative studies department at 341-2980 Ext, 5667.
The University of Central Oklahoma does not have a chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery, a computer information service, on campus, but if enough students are interested, one can be formed, said Bill Stockwell, UCO professor of computer science. "The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), is a supplier of technical information about computer hardware and software development," said Mike Gourley, a professor of computer science and active member of the ACM since 1976. Founded in 1947 to develop data processing as a discipline, the ACM promotes the responsible use of computers in expanding numbers of applications. "Students often graduate with honors, but fail to continue their education," said Stockwell, a ACM member since 1992. "Students will benefit by becoming members of the ACM," said Gourley. A membership in the ACM allows students to attend conferences and meet with professionals in the computing industry. Members also receive Communications of the ACM, a periodical containing the latest information about technical advances in
"Communications of the ACM is one of the best technical journals in the computing field," said Gourley. Other periodicals available through the ACM are dedicated to various special interest groups. "Math and computer science majors are encouraged to join the ACM," said Richard Rankin, professor of computer science. "Members of the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) are welcome," said Gourley. The ACM and DPMA are not the same. The ACM is concerned with the technical aspects of cornputing, where as the DPMA deals with the application of computing technology in business, said Jay Savill, president of the DPMA chapter at UCO. "Other disciplines can benefit from membership in the ACM," said Gourley. The ACM serves special interest groups by informing them of advances made in the computer technologies they employ. Accountants, architects, business management consultants, doctors and educators, to name a few, all may be interested in joining the ACM. For more information about the ACM. contact Gourley at 3412980 Ext. 5387 and for more information about DPMA contact Morey at 341-2980Ext. 2828. .
