Ambassador to Mexico visits UCO By Lisa Tatum

Staff Writer

orruption, immigration and rebellion were only a few of the topics U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, James R. Jones,addressed during a forum sponsored by the World Affairs Council (WAC) Thursday afternoon. Students from UCO and the University of Oklahoma (OU) joined President Nigh, faculty, WAC members and other guests at the University Center for a presentation by Jones followed by a question and answer session. Jones, a former U.S. Congressman

serving his fourth year as the nation's ambassador to Mexico, described it as a country that has grown educationally, economically and politically in recent years. "The Mexico of today versus the Mexico of yesterday is like night and day," he said. Noting the United States' contribution to Mexico's educational progress, Jones described a country where "no one 30 years ago had any education from the U.S." "Today," he added, "it's hard to find someone who hasn't." He credited successful commercial and business relationships between the U.S.

and Mexico to NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). Due to NAFTA, trade between the countries has increased from $85 billion in 1993 to an estimated $140 billion in 1996, he said. "It's hard to imagine, in the 10 years gone by, they have gone from a closed to an open, free trading market," he said. Jones called the U.S.'s role in helping Mexico's economic development a "winwin situation." "We'll have good markets and they'll have good markets," he said. Significant changes in Mexico's political system also drew comment from the ambassador.

"In less than a five-year period they have gone from an authoritarian system to a vigorous democracy," he said. He described Mexico as a country that has come from a corrupt law enforcement system to a country that elected an attorney general who fired one quarter of the police leadership. Jones responded to a question regarding recent allegations of corruption in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) by acknowledging that "corruption exists, particularly when dealing with drugs." He went on to clarify that a DEA official has been accused of mismanaging V See AMBASSADOR, Page 5

EDITORIAL

Editorials explained

Clvt

40NoRED,.. REA& /44.

ditorials are a newspaper's official stand on an issue. They're packed with opinion supported by facts.

We hope the editorial page provokes thought and discussion from you. Our goal is not for you to accept our opinion as gospel. We want you to think about it, weigh the facts and then come to your own conclusion—be it about military action in Iraq or the activities of the President's Leadership Council. Once you've come to your own conclusion, we hope you'll share that opinion in the form of a letter to the editor. We want to be the voice of all UCO students, not just a few journalism majors. So when we don't get letters, we go out on campus and ask the opinion of a few randomly selected students and this becomes the Campus Quotes section. From time to time we do make mistakes, and we don't mind admitting it. Last week the editorial said President George Nigh was "stuck in Shangri La." We later learned this was inaccurate. He had a previous speaking engagement in Miami, Okla. We're embarrassed we got it wrong, but we're glad we have the freedom to make that kind of mistake. The Vista is published without censorship from the administration and that's something everyone at UCO should be proud of.

CORRECTION ✓ Shailesh Adhikari's response to the Campus Quote question in the Sept. 17 issue was transcribed incorrectly. His reply should have read, "It's a different culture with a different opinion on assisted suicide. The Muslim culture and the Hindu culture have different opinions on assisted suicide." The Vista regrets any misunderstanding this may have caused.

Student researches Student Activity Fee magine if you will this scenario: A young woman decides to take her young children on an outing to the local museum to enhance their art appreciation. Upon arriving at the museum she is informed that she nor her children may enter because she is not a member of the Art Lover's Organization. "This is ridiculous," she says, "I pay taxes to support this museum, you can't keep me from coming in, this is a public building." "I'm sorry, miss, you must be a member of the Art Lover's Organization." "Well, how do I join?" she asks. "Shows us that you have had three years of supporting art appreciation in the community, and you can join." Now I can hear you already, Brian, this is fictitious, this could never happen. When then let's turn to reality. As students at this university we are required to pay a $4 per credit hour Student Activity Fee, supposedly to be used for the betterment of ALL students. However, - the President's Leadership Council

and other honorary organizations receive a portion of this fee, and yet they are allowed to exclude a majority of the students from joining their organizations. I decided to do a little research on this matter. There are currently 51 student organizations that receive funding from the Student Activities Fee. The university has budgeted $218,007 for these organizations, but $82,000 of that is for campus rental space for organizations, so we really are dealing with $136,007. Out of this, the largest amount goes to the SGA—$25,962. Next is the International Student Association with $20,000, and third on the list is the President's Leadership Council with $11,385. The PLC has a maximum membership of 80 students, this represents about 0.5 percent of the student body, yet they receive 8.3 perc ent of the activities fees. Furthermore, to be a member of this organization, one must be an executive officer in three different organizations, and have a 3.0 GPA and pass an interview process. With a maximum of 80

students being able to join, 95.5 percent of the student body is excluded from joining, assuming one could meet their criteria. When I did my research, I counted 13 honorary organizations receiving a total of $16,075 in funding from the fee. This accounts for 11.8 percent of the budget. These organizations also have criteria that must be met before being allowed to join, thus excluding a portion of the student body. To put this in a total perspective, of the 51 organizations, 29.5 percent of the organizations exclude the majority of students yet they receive nearly 40 percent of the funds. About 70.5 percent of the organizations just about anybody can join, but they only receive 60 percent of the funds. This is a huge difference. So, I leave you with this final question. How do you -feel that you are forced to pay a fee that goes to support organizations to which you cannot join? —Brian Morton UCO student

Misconception of Multiple Sclerosis clarified am responding to the Sept. 17 article regarding physician-assisted suicides, specifically the accompanying table listing the medical conditions of Dr. Kevorkian's former patients. I feel it is necessary to clarify the potential misconception of readers regarding

Multiple Sclerosis . There are approximately one quarter of a million people in the U.S. who have MS, but the disease is rarely fatal. While it is possible that the nine patients listed on the table as having MS might have eventually died from the disease, numerically it is

unlikely. I am not disputing the severity of symptoms these people suffered, nor am I addressing the morality of the decision to end their lives, but the general public needs to be made aware that Multiple Sclerosis does not carry the same prognosis as other diseases such as

ALS, MD, lung cancer, etc. It can be a devastating crippler, yes, but very rarely is it a killer. Many of us are able to lead pretty normal lives. —Linda Winn UCO staff

AMBASSADOR continued from front page

funds used to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel, but emphasized that the situation would not hinder the continuing efforts to fight the "constant battle" of drug trafficking from Mexico to the U.S. Jones answered another question from the audience regarding immigration. The ambassador said he frequently visits the Mexican-American border and finds that immigrants from Mexico are young, skilled males looking for work.

Referring back to economic development, he said an increase in the Mexican standard of living would result in a decrease in immigration. Jones said the only way to address the current illegal immigration issue in this country would be to shut down the job opportunities that bring illegal immigrants to the U.S. Asked to comment on a grass roots rebellion by the Zapatistas in southern

Mexico, Jones expressed a strong U.S. concern for the protection of human rights and said the rebellion is an illustration of the country handling internal conflict. In closing, Jones encouraged college students interested in international business to be proficient in foreign languages and to look for companies that seek out global markets. Jones is the second dignitary to speak

to the WAC this year. William Crowe, U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, addressed the group in June. Ambassador Edward Perkins is tentatively scheduled to speak at WAC's third event to be held at OU in February. The WAC is sponsored jointly by UCO and OU and promotes the study of international affairs, business and diplomacy.

The eyes of the world are on Edmond today as co-editor of The Vista, John "Burr" Clanton reaches his majority. "Today, I am a man," said Clanton. "Tomorrow, who knows?" Clanton plans to celebrate his 21st birthday by renting his favorite movie, Deer Hunter, eating a bag of hot and spicy Fritos corn chips and chewing on several Bic pens in his underwear. "As far as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster," he said for no apparent reason. Clanton's mother, "Mom" said "John is the kind of person who stops at a garage sale kids are having. He makes a purchase to help them out and pays them double. He always thinks he can do anything—a winning attitude." The public is invited to drop by The Vista office in Room 107 of the Communications Building to wish Burr a Happy Birthday. "Go ahead," said Clanton. "Make my day."

Oklahoma Baptist topped the field with 28 points. Kahuni, last year's individual champion, won the event with a time of 27:07.

Freshman right-side hitter Dee Goble had to sit out the Lady Broncho Invitational, but junior middle blocker Kate O'Neill picked up the slack to lead the Central Oklahoma volleyball team to a 4-0 record this weekend at Hamilton Field House. O'Neill recorded a seasonhigh 23 kills in UCO's L5-12, 15-13, 13-15, 15-12 victory over Henderson State (Ark.). She scored for UCO on 23 of 33 attacks on the net, a .606 hitting percentage. UCO setter Arwin Schneider complemented O'Neill's effort with a 60-assist performance against the Lady Reddies. HSU had beaten UCO in three games at last year's Lady Broncho Invitational. "We had a nice matchup with the girl in the middle for Henderson," said UCO volleyball coach Mark Herrin, whose team is now 8-2 on the season. "I just told Arwin that every chance she could get, we needed to run it to Kate. "We had to have that from (O'Neill) against Henderson, especially since we didn't have Dee's attacking game. You take all those (kills) away, you've got to go somewhere else with the ball, and Kate responded." Goble aggravated a back injury before the tournament.

Kate O'Neill She had entered the weekend tied with O'Neill for the secondhighest amount of kills on the team. She said she doesn't know how she first injured her back, but that she has always had the problem. She treats it through stretching exercises. Sophomore defensive specialist Summer Williams and true freshman Jamie Clark increased their playing time to fill in for Goble. Herrin said Goble should be ready to play for Thursday's match against Texas A&MCommerce, formerly known as East Texas State. The Lady Lions finished second in the Lone Star Conference last year. "She could've played today. As important as these matches are, the focus is conference matches. We go to Commerce on Thursday, and we have to have her for that." V See SWEEP, Page 9

SPORTS SOCCER ROUNDUP

Men rally past OSU, 4-2 The Central Oklahoma men's soccer team rallied to earn a 4-2 win over Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma Collegiate Club Soccer League action at the UCO soccer field. UCO (1-1-0) rebounded after trailing 2-1 at halftime. Chris Mahen evened the score at the 60-minute mark with a shot from 16 yards out. Sho Ma put the Bronchos ahead by deflecting his 17-yard shot off Mahen's ribs in the 70th minute. Shadee Eid sealed the win at

the 80-minute mark by scoring on a one-on-one goalkeeper situation. The Bronchos opened the scoring early on a 14-yard shot by Jason Gilpin. The Cowboys tied the game when Daniel Gordon sent a ball through two UCO defenders, glancing off of Eddy Hrdlicka's knee at the 21:50 mark. OSU's Brad Stump put OSU ahead at 32:08. UCO has an open week this week for homecoming.

Women blank East Central, 2-0 The Central Oklahoma women's soccer team opened the regular season Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 blanking of East Central at the UCO soccer field. Krista Henderson opened the scoring at the 34:10 mark, turning a one-on-one goalkeeper situation into a 1-0 lead for UCO (1-0-0).

Tamra Scholovyi padded Central's lead at 85:29, scoring from the 18-yard line. The UCO squad started the contest with only eight player due to intramural football play. UCO hosts Wichita State (Kan.) at 5 p.m. Saturday and then travels to Rose State for a 3 02a p.m. contest Sunday.

Prayer shows unity, faith ometimes the â&#x20AC;˘ best things in athletics don't happen while the game clock is ticking. One example ocurred Friday night at Wantland Stadium when Edmond Memorial and Edmond Santa Fe met for the first time on the football field. Both teams had finished their opening warmups and had made their entrance, bursting through paper banners decorated by each team's cheerleaders. The national anthem was played and Old Glory had risen to its place on the flagpole on the south end of the stadium. The crowd, estimated at 5,700, waited for the second contest in the Edmond bedlam series to begin. The Edmond schools had not played each other since the district broke up into three high schools in 1993. Suddenly, each team began to leave the sidelines towards the middle of the field. Soon it became apparent that there were more players than the allowed 11 players on each side. When the green and gray of Santa Fe met the maroon and

white of Memorial in the middle of the field, it wasn't the beginnings of some brawl that Joel Reagan y o u Sports Editor commonly lommomilâ&#x2013; mi see while watching the pros or in college. Both groups knelt in the middle of the field and began praying together. Managers, trainers, cheerleaders and a handful of the regular students joined the players In the stands, the fans respected this prayer and applause followed once the prayer ended. In the press box where this writer was working that night, one person wondered if anyone would walk out in protest. How sad that a simple prayer would ever receive a protest from another. In college, you think you are better and wiser than those in high school.

Whether your faith is rooted in Christ or not, I think we can learn a lesson from these high school student-athletes. These kids share a rivalry here in Edmond. Not too many years ago, they would have all been attending Edmond Memorial High School. They know each other. They likely played with each other in backyards across town. They remembered each other that night. Before facing each other as foes, they took time out to speak to the Lord. They could have exuded some of the hate that we often see in the world today. But they didn't. More importantly, their impact might continue on long after they leave the high school classroom. There was likely a young boy clinging to the railing on the front row of bleachers at Wantland Stadium Friday night. He watches every move the players make and wants to be just like them. That is what I want him to see.

Leonard could play Saturday night By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer

Senior tailback Zack Leonard, who rushed for a team-high 980 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, is still bothered by his calf injury he aggravated before the season. UCO running backs coach George Hauser said Leonard could be ready to play for the game Saturday. If not this week, then Leonard could be available for the Lone Star Conference opener against Texas A&MCommerce. Leonard rushed for 50 yards on eight carries in the second quarter of the Southwestern (Okla.) game before succumbing to his injury. "We've got to get him healthy for the conference," Hauser said. "He's shown a lot of progress this week in healing."

Hauser said Leonard pulled a muscle in his kneecap during an offseason workout and has yet to fully recover from it. Senior tailback Jubarko Gaines has run for 238 yards on 50 carries the first two games in Leonard's place. Gaines ran for a career-high 157 yards against Southwestern. Also, tailbacks Ryan Logan and Barry Antwine have combined for 148 yards and five touchdowns. "The good thing is we got guys like Logan and Antwine, players that have some skill, who can assume a role when people go out," said Hauser. Hauser said the offense has been bolstered by the play of fullbacks Wade Griffin and Bear Runyan. The fifth-year UCO coach said that the two have not only been physical, but also have

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK made the right adjustments at the line of scrimmage. "We've got two good ones. We're lucky to have them." Team makes adjustments

UCO's defensive and offensive coordinators, Duane Dirk and Bill Massey, said the Bronchos have adjustments to make-on either side of the ball. Dirk said the defense has been giving up too many big plays so far this season. SWOSU tailback Willie Brown darted 52 yards for a touchdown, while quarterback Brad Woodard threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to receiver Damon Willis against UCO. The seventh-year UCO coach said the players will neglect their responsibilities trying to make

the tackle. "They're trying to make every play, and they're just getting out of position. They're forgetting to take care of business." While UCO ran for 265 yards against SWOSU, the Bronchos tallied only 84 passing yards. Massey said that it was a combination of the Bulldog's pass coverage scheme and UCO receivers making mistakes on routes. "What we should have done was hit the second and third (options)," he said. "It wasn't the quarterback. We put in some new things, so we messed up on some pass routes." The two think UCO's play will improve. Dirk said his players see their errors, while Massey said he will simplify the game plan for next week.

Panel discussion to enhance public's perception of tenure By Gayleen Langthorn Managing Editor

mproving public understanding of tenure is the goal of a panel discussion set for Oct. 1. The discussion is sponsored by the UCO Chapter of American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and co-sponsored by The Vista. Dr. Katherene Terrell, assistant professor of accounting, will direct the discussion. Terrell said tenure is very misunderstood. "Before 1915 professors were being fired from universities because of their political or social views," she said. Tenure was developed as a response for academic freedom. "AAUP was founded in 1915 to fight for rights of academic freedom...without academic freedom you have no new ideas and knowledge does not advance," Terrell said. "Tenure's only purpose is to protect that academic freedom." Some have the misperception that tenure guarantees a job for life or that professors slack off after tenure is granted, but Terrell said that's not the case. "You can still be fired," she said.

X.Iit4

Breach of ethics, financial problems at a university or failing to do the job could all lead to a tenured professor's dismissal. "Professors with professional and personal integrity work harder after they get tenure than before," Terrell said. "I put in more hours after I got tenure than before." She explained that tenured faculty are often give more responsibility than their untenured counterparts. Terrell said panel members were selected because they each have a different perspective of higher education. Scheduled for the panel are: Mike Brown, president of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, Dr. Clyde Jacob, UCO's vice president for academic affairs and Dr. Linda Leavell, president of the Oklahoma Conference of AAUP. Terrell hopes faculty, interested citizens, administrators and education students will attend the discussion. "It should be a good discussion...we didn't prescreen their views," she said. The panel discussion will be from 24 p.m. Oct. 1 in Room 102 of the Education Building.

September 24, 1996

For the Love of Art His early influences included Mad Magazine, The New Yorker and Mr.

n 1980 Rob Rogers sat in apartment sketching Iihis editorial cartoons about presidential candidates. Pushing his fingers through a shock of layered blonde bangs, he stared at the penciled images before him. With a glance at his watch he grabbed the pictures and headed towards campus. He had a deadline to meet for The Vista. Today Rogers pushes gold-rimmed spectacles up over his forehead that has grown increasingly higher over the last sixteen years. He is still sketching presidential candidates and still has a deadline to meet. But now his work is seen by more than just UCO students. The 1982 alumnus is a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist whose work is viewed by millions of people across the nation. His cartoons have been seen in The New York Times, on NBC's Today and CBS's Face The Nation. Rogers' depiction of Newt Gingrich as "The Gingrich Who Stole Christmas" appeared on the cover of Newsweek's 1994 year-end issue. Despite his busy schedule, the Pittsburgh artist is making time to return to his alma mater this week. He will be honored by the UCO Alumni Association as a recipient of the "Distinguished Former Student" award.

Magoo.

At 14, Rogers and his family moved to Edmond. "My dad played the soundtrack to Oklahoma the entire trip," Rogers remembered. "He thought it would ease the culture shock." If the artistic success of his high school years was any indication, Rogers adjusted well. Upon graduation from Edmond Memorial High School, he received a scholarship from the Edmond Art Association giving him tuition to the university of his choice. Rogers chose Oklahoma State University, much to the dismay of UCO art instructor, Dean Hyde. Hyde chided Rogers, telling him, "You'll be back," —a prophesy that was fulfilled two years later. Rogers graduated from UCO with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts in 1982. He said his years at UCO gave him the freedom to gain the experience that would be required to do national cartoons. He credits the university for encouraging cartooning at a time when most colleges "liked you to get away from it." Much of Rogers' cartooning instruction came from Dr. Hall Duncan, a retired UCO professor he fondly

It's easy to do cartoons about controversial issues,but it's another thing to actually do something about

it. —Rob Rogers UCO alumnus Rogers and four other alumni will be recognized Friday evening during an Alumni Awards Banquet. As a child growing up in Philadelphia, Rogers remembers copying cartoon characters from comics as soon as he was old enough to hold a pencil.

refers to as a mentor. Duncan taught Rogers in his editorial cartooning class and remembers him as an excellent student. The job of an editorial cartoonist is to keep people thinking. Duncan said. In addition to having a sense of humor, an editorial cartoonist has to be able to relate today's news to political issues and focus on what is behind the scenes, he added. "Rob has what it takes." After receiving a Masters of Fine Arts degree from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh in 1984, Rogers was hired as a cartoonist for The Pittsburgh Press. He stayed with the paper through its purchase by

The Pittsburgh Post99 Gazette and

continues there as an editorial cartoonist. "It's a great job," he said, "because the news changes everyday." Rogers' cartoons —Rob Rogers have been syndicated UCO alumnus by United Feature Syndicate since 1988 and appear nationally four times each week. He is a four-time winner of the Golden Quill Award, and the 1995 winner of the National Headliner Award. His cartoons are included in book collections such as

I'm not just part of the analysis. I'm part of the solution.

Rogers often donates cartoons to charity auctions for causes like AIDS research, Cystic Fibrosis and victims of violent crimes. "I'm not just part of the analysis. nil part of the solution." he said. In keeping with a tradition he established in his days as a cartoonist for The Vista, Rogers said he continues to work out of his honae. Today's technology allows him to draw cartoons from any place in the world and send them to his editors by modem from his computer. He said he recently carried a computer that "fit into his knapsack" to the Republican National Convention and sent back cartoons to the paper in Pittsburgh. The current presidential campaigns give Rogers extensive

material to work with. He said Boh Dole a Perot are presently a favorite characters, itIst as G er, Ford was a Li'orite durin g Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year, Cartooning AIDS days. Around the World and Mother of All Windbags (a The carton,n st, whohasn't been hac

The inundation of recognition and awards, however, has not swayed him from standing up for the causes he believes in.

By Lisa Tatum

Staff Writer

n what has becoine a Homecoming tradition, the artwork of UCO alumni and retired faculty will be showcased in a month-long exhibit in the Donna Nigh Gallery. The collection, entitled A Proud Tradition: New Art by Alumni and Retired Faculty will be joined by Facts, Faces & Phantoms, a free-standing exhibit of 86 photographs taken by UCO students along Oklahoma's historic Route 66. A reception honoring the artists will be held from 4:30-6 p.m. Sept. 27 at the gallery, located on the fourth floor of the University Center. The art featured in the alumni show consists of a variety of media, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, gallery coordinator.

Adams said the annual show is one of her favorites because it is exciting to see the former students. The Route 66 display features black and white photographs taken along the 480 miles of Route 66 that runs through Oklahoma. The 19 students participating in the exhibit were part of a special six-week summer class, " U.S. 66 Documentary," taught by Dr. Woody Gaddis, professor of journalism. Each student was given a segment of the highway to cover and was responsible for producing 24 images from that segment as well as 12 images from other parts of Route 66. Gaddis said there are plans to publish a book of the photographs with the next year. The Donna Nigh Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both exhibits will be on display October 21.

Blood drive allows Laff Olympians chance to earn points Donating blood simple means to saving lives while gaining points By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

"It's safe, simple and saves lives" is the new slogan of the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI), and during UCO's Homecoming it might be amended with "it earns points." For the first time ever, UCO Bloodhounds will sponsor their annual fall blood drive as a part of Homecoming's Laff Olympic competitions, allowing participants the opportunity to earn points for their student organization. The drive, which is open to everyone over 17, will be held in the Liberal Arts

Building in front of the Pegasus Theater tomorrow from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. The donation process takes about 45 minutes, said Heidi Cohn, blood program consultant. "Only 5 to 7 minutes is actually needed to draw blood," she said, "The rest of the time is taken up with paperwork." Cohn expressed the importance of blood donations, citing the following facts: • Every 3 seconds someone in this country needs donated blood. • 80-90 percent of the population will need some kind of blood donation in their lifetime.

• The OBI needs 1,000 blood donors per week to meet the needs of Oklahoma hospitals and communities. Donating blood has benefits that go beyond personal satisfaction, said Cohn. Every donor receives a "miniphysical" checking blood pressure, temperature, iron level and pulse, she said. Blood tests are run at the OBI lab to determine each donor's cholesterol level and blood type. These results are sent to the donor within two weeks. Cohn also explained the "No News Is Good News" test performed on all blood donations. "The blood is tested for hepatitis,

syphilis and HIV," she said. "If the results are negative— you don't hear from us." She stressed that in the event of a positive result on one of the tests, donors are notified in a completely confidential manner. Cohn also described the "insurance policy" that comes with each donation. Every donor is guaranteed a supply of blood from OBI for a year after donating if the need arises, she said. "The most important thing to remember about donating blood," she said, "is that you could be saving someone's life."

New home for Catholic Student Center to be completed by 1999 new location is planned for the Catholic Student Center, currently located at 321 E. Clegern Ave. The Archdiocese of Oklahoma, which funds the organization, purchased the new location for the center, said Jason Simpson, director of the Catholic student center. Catholic student center's new home will be at 319 E. Main. The floor plan of the building is not finalized. The project will be completed in one to three years, said Simpson. The building will be used for services, fellowship and activity. Currently, fellowship is in the center's house or white chapel. The current police station was the first location of the center before annexation of the campus. Before the archdiocese purchased the current house two years ago, students

Credit cards: `Leave home without them' By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

he mixed message around campus is clear. Credit cards are either very good or very bad. Several classes warn students of the dangers of plastic while advertisers, quick to target students as prospective consumers, pave the halls with free offers and applications. Are the cards really the no fee, no anxiety way to pay? No way, said Randal Ice, UCO assistant professor of finance. Ice advises students in his personal finance class to leave home without them

whenever possible to avoid pitfalls like hidden fees and interest charges. Dr. Kaye Sears, professor of human environmental sciences, invites guest speakers from Consumer Credit Counseling Services to share credit horror stories with her Contemporary American Families class But while UCO curriculum is long on reasons students should avoid the credit trap, there is no shortage of credit card hawkers on campus. All sacks from the University Book Store contain applications. Vendors are

often seen set up across from the book store in the basement of the University Center offering teeshirts, mugs and other perks to student applicants. The Link, an information booth at the entrance to the University Center, occasionally carries advertising brochures for credit card companies as well. A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Enterprises, which operates the University Center, said the promotions are a public service that lets students know what is available to them.

Earth to move between sun and moon, creating lunar eclipse By Gayleen Langthorn Managing Editor

Homecoming isn't the only big event this week. Thursday a lunar eclipse will occur. The Earth will move between the sun and the moon just after sunset. This will cast a shadow on the moon. The darkest shadow will be on the moon beginning at 9:15 p.m. The Kirkpatrick Planetarium at the Omniplex

has activities planned to celebrate the event. At 8 p.m. a planetarium show will explain the mechanics of a lunar eclipse. Then at 9 p.m. the Amateur Astronomy Club will have telescopes set up for star gazing. But a telescope is not essential to see the eclipse. All lunar eclipse activities at the Kirkpatrick Planetarium are free. The Omniplex is located at 2100 NE 52nd St. For more information, call 4245545.

Rahman also admits that vendors pay $60 for five days of the use of the facility. "It's a business," he said. Dr. Barbara Norman, chairperson and professor of oral communications is in charge of materials distributed in the Communications Building. She said most students are old enough to make a decision for themselves. "The average age of our students is, what, 26," said Norman. She said that while she was aware the allure of credit could prove harmful to a student's financial health, she would probably not censure the distribution of the offers.
