Panel debates tenure By Gayleen Langthorn Managing Editor
The benefits and misconceptions of tenure were debated Tuesday afternoon at the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) fall panel discussion. 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, state AAUP president and English professor at Oklahoma State University, composed the panel. Jacob said tenure has changed over time. It started out as a concept to protect faculty freedom of speech. He noted that now civil, federal and state laws are in place to protect the right to free speech. "Tenure was never intended as a vehicle of job security" to allow people to neglect doing their job.
Jacob said tenure is a means of evaluating faculty performance. Leavell said it's easier to say what tenure isn't than what it is. "It's not a guarantee of lifetime employment," she said. She views tenure as a public trust since tenure is conferred by the board of regents and they represent the public. "With that trust goes responsibility to exercise academic freedom...and serve the university," Leavell said. She said when a faculty member pursues tenure, they are making a conservative decision from an economic standpoint. Faculty could go from job to job getting higher salaries instead of staying at one institution for several years. Brown said the benefit of tenure is that professors can "think and correctly teach with no political agenda." Tenure allows faculty to remember the university's educational mission. "The university benefits from tenure by the V See PANEL, Page 5
don't care. They think they can't make a difference." These were a few of the responses from UCO students and faculty when asked about young adults' presence at the polls—or lack thereof. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 42.8 percent of Americans ages 18-24 voted in the last presidential election. That's 27.3 percent less than the largest voting group—those age 65 and older. That may sound low in comparison. However, the 18-24 year-olds' voting record had not been that high in 10 years; since the 1972 election, when those ages 18-20 were given the right to vote just one year prior. Nearly 50 percent turned up to vote for the first time at the next election.
Everyone seems to have their own theory explaining how and why young people do and don't vote. Some argue that "Generation X" is simply lazy and spoiled. While others, such as UCO's political science professor, Dr. Ron Beeson, believe that even when young people vote, they tend to "vote the way their mamas and daddies vote." Beeson said he offers his American National Government students extra credit if they register to vote. Still, only about 70 percent of them register, he said. "And many come in with their card the day before (the cut-off date)." "I would guess that half of them register to vote for the five bonus points," said Beeson. "They have too many other things in their busy lives." YSee VOTERS, Page 7

N
ext Friday, Oct. 11 is the deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 5 election.
Twenty-five years ago, 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. And those 18 year olds voted. Nearly 50 percent of 18-to 24-year-olds participated in the 1972 election. Those people were concerned about what was happening. Their government was sending them to fight and die in rice paddies halfway around the world. They hoped that by voting they could have a say in shaping their future. The stage isn't as dramatic today. There's not a draft tearing you away from our homes and families and sending you to another continent But those homes and families are exactly why we should get involved. The laws our elected officials enact or fail to enact shape the way you live your life. They decide how much money you'll pay in taxes; which social programs get funded and whether your employer has to provide insurance. Indirectly, but perhaps more importantly, who you elect as president determines the makeup of the Supreme Court. The rulings those justices make protect the right of women to have a choice, define our freedom of speech and determine how we punish our criminals. The choice made on Nov. 5 will impact every one of us everyday for the next four years and beyond. This decision is too important to let someone else decide for you. Make your voice heard. Register to vote before Oct. 11.

MS sufferer responds to letter
I
am responding to the Oct. 1 letter about MS. Ms. Belcher, I would not normally respond back, but it seems that you did not read my original letter on MS too carefully. By no means did I say or imply that MS is less important than any other disease. My purpose in writing was to address the misconception that some (or maybe many) people might have had in looking at the table of Dr. Kevorkian's patients and thinking that MS is a fatal disease like some of the other ones listed. Having lived with MS for nearly three years now, I know firsthand what kind of devastation it can bring to one's life. Although my initial symptoms were not as bad as what your father suffers, they were considerable, nevertheless.
There is nothing quite like being in good health for thirty years only to have it completely stripped away from you in a matter of days, leaving you helpless, feeble, and scared to death, not knowing if you will ever be normal again. Ms. Belcher, I do know what it feels like to want to be dead; I've been there. You made the statement, "Those who can lead normal lives are fortunate, but those who can't should not be made to feel undignified because MS is rarely fatal." I agree, with you wholeheartedly. If, however, you are implying that my letter was casting an undignified shadow on these patients, please go back and re-read the letter. I feel it is very, very important for people to understand the scope of MS. The level of disability for MS
patients resembles a bell curve: there are about as many people severely affected by it as those who are almost completely unaffected by it with a lot of people falling somewhere in between.. If you think I cannot sympathize with your father or others like him, I suggest you come by my office and visit with me. I wish the very best for your father, and I hope that your family is involved with or will seek a support counseling group. They may not be able to help his physical limitations, but there is comfort in knowing there are others who have some idea what he is going through. —Linda Winn UCO Staff
Senator questions speaker's fairness
T
he Student Government leadership is somewhat of a surprising disappointment. 'truly expected the SGA to be an organization that was concerned for the students of UCO. Rather, I found distasteful partisan politics on display by the SGA speaker. I became a senator at age 32 to represent the non traditional students and I am starting out by voicing my complaints thus far. We need to be a
student-government that is student sensitive. A government that is student-responsive—not a government that offends and excludes based on one's political views or that doesn't address student concerns. —Sen. Candee R. Wilson UCO student

continuity it provides," he said. Brown supports faculty development and thinks faculty should keep growing and learning. "When you quit growing you should get the hell out," he said. Jacob said tenure benefits the university by attracting, employing and developing high quality faculty members.
"Tenure is a peer review process that enhances high quality," he said. Rigor of scholarship should be used as criteria to evaluate tenure, Jacob said. He said the faculty are setting higher standards for tenure at UCO. "I've seen a definite enhancement of the rigor of the process over the last five years."

Leavell said it should be up to the faculty members within each department to set standards for tenure. Brown said tenure shouldn't be a personality contest and the regents shouldn't determine the criteria. "The deans and the administration should decide that." When considering changes in

Mary's play-by-play guide to sports terms ootball has been making succumbing to the baser instincts of the male socially acceptable since Ronald Reagan rallied the boys to "win one for the Gipper." But these days there are almost as many babes in the bleachers backing Bears and Bombers as there are boys. The reason for this gender bender is debatable, but I suspect female fans have different motives. An actual study I saw in the Gazette, done by the Women's Institute for Football Education (WIFE), showed that nearly 54 percent of women don't know that a touchdown is worth six points, 30 percent don't know that a safety is worth two points and that only 41 percent know that Dallas won the Superbowl last year. This ignorance is appalling. Me, I just love the Mavericks and would rather give up having my pores professionally sucked than miss a single inning. Like more and more women of the nineties, I know a lot about football. I know a safety from a scrimmage, a

Here is Mary's play-by-play guide to sports terminology for female fans. Testosterone: The football hormone. Football: A type of socially acceptable assault induced by testosterone. Football player: These are men, who as little boys, have been socialized out of testosterone induced behavior. When they near puberty, the instinct to hurt other players is formally sanctioned in the football game. (see below). Any male fan is a football player, at least as long as he

VOTERS Taking that idea one step further, Mark Nevins, communications director of the National College Democrats, said politicians should take their campaign to the hustle-andbustle generation. "Young people today have it harder than any other generation," he said. "The yuppies graduated and got a job with IBM making $60,000 a year. "We have to work harder to get through school, get a job and keep that job." Nevins said the key to getting young people out to vote is to take the campaign to them. "We want politics to come to us and not us have to go to politics." But Keith Weber, president of UCO's Student Government Association, thinks young people shouldn't be spoon-fed politics. "Our generation has adapted to having information fed to them," he said. "They take it at face value and don't go find additional information." Why? Most young people don't seek out information about issues and candidates because "it hasn't hit them yet that who they vote for affects them," said Janet Nicholas, president of the UCO College Republicans. "They're a huge majority,"
she said. "They can have a big impact." According to the office of institutional research and planning, 7,968 of UCO's 14,481 students are between the ages of 18 and 24. Many believe that the majority of these young people won't take elections and politics seriously until they're in their 30s, paying more taxes and supporting a family. Nicholas, 34, said she didn't have much interest in politics until she married and started a family. She thinks most college students begin to realize the effects of politics when they witness something like a tuition hike. "I only have one thing to say," Nicholas said. "If you don't vote you can't gripe." Those wanting to take advantage of their right to vote can pick up a registration form at any library, tag agency or post office. Registration is also available through MTV's "Rock the Vote" at www.rockthevote.org or by calling 1-800-register. Oct. 11 is the deadline to register for the Nov. 5 election.

Bronchos ascend to No. 3 in Division II poll An unbeaten record heading into Lone Star. Conference play propelled Central Oklahoma to No. 3 ranking in the latest NCAA Division II football poll released Monday by the NCAA. The Bronchos (3-0) have their highest ranking since the 1986 squad was ranked fourth in the pre-season NAIA chart. Central defeated Langston 3920 Saturday. Three of the top five teams in last week's poll lost — North Dakota State, Northern Colorado and North Alabama — allowed UCO to move up three spots from sixth. North Alabama's loss to Arkansas Tech sent the defending Division II National Champion sprawling out of the poll. Three other teams from the LSC make up the top 20. Texas A&M - Commerce is ranked No. 6. Texas A&M - Kingsville is No. 11, and Angelo State is No. 14.

Gaines keys running attack By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer
Some observers may have thought a running football team like Central Oklahoma would be in trouble without 1995 leading rusher Zack Leonard. The- starting tailback position fell to senior Jubarko Gaines, who has ran for 286 yards on 63
Broncho Profile: Jubarko Gaines carries this season. No. 3 UCO ranks 22nd in NCAA Division II averaging 208.7 rushing yards per game after their 3-0 start. UCO running backs coach George Hauser said he noticed Gaines' intensity level rise when Leonard aggravated a calf injury before the season. "He's turned it up a notch," said Hauser, who describes Gaines' running style as 'straight ahead with a little juke.' "We lose what we consider a starter,
but we haven't lost a step. The thing about Jubarko is, we've even gained a step in some areas." While Leonard's injury keeps him out, Hauser said that Gaines has taken a bigger leadership role among the running backs. He describes Gaines' attitude towards Leonard as 'Buddy, I'm going to pick up the slack while you're out.' "He started taking on more responsibility than he did before. He's used his leadership and his experience from being with a good program (Pittsburg State, Kan.). Jubarko is one of those guys who's always keeping the intensity level in practice up." Gaines said his goal is to help UCO end a 10-year postseason drought. He spent his first three collegiate seasons with Pittsburg State, a perennial playoff contender. The 5-9, 205-pounder thinks the Bronchos can make the postgeason after an 8-3 campaign

last year, UCO's fourth straight winning season. "I went to Pittsburg State, and we were always in the playoffs. The expectation was there," he said. "This year, the team knows we can win." The John Marshall High School graduate from Oklahoma City said he was disappointed with his performance last season. Gaines ran for 638 yards on 180 carries with four touchdowns V See GAINES, Page 9

Texas A&M (13-2, 7-0 conf.). Both matches begin at 7 p.m. UCO volleyball coach Mark Herrin says he's not sure what to expect from ENMU because the team has a lot of new players. The Zias split two matches last week to fall to second in the LSC. The Zias are led by Brye Bowers. Bowers has collected 148 kills and 167 digs. The Lady Buffs' come to Edmond riding a six-game winning streak. Their only losses have been to top-ranked Central Missouri State.
and the UCO offensive line for Gaines' night. "They were leaving us running room in terms of the way they were setting their defense," he said. "The offensive line has been controlling the line of scrimmage, and we're able to give that tailback the football a
lot." Gaines admitted that he doesn't know if the coaches have confidence in his ability yet, but he strives to earn it. "I really don't feel like he has faith in me. Mark it down, though, there's going to be a time."

Goodfellas remains the best of the best artin Scorsese's mafia masterpiece Goodfellas not only established itself as one of the greatest films of all time, but also took another giant step in establishing Scorsese as the director of the century. Scorsese's ultra-tight direction and original camera angles, as well as the insight he offers in to the vast underworld of organized crime keeps audiences spellbound
M
and completely unaware of the three-hour length. But the magic doesn't stop there. Goodfellas won Joe Pesci an Oscar for his portrayal of the loose-cannon Tommy DeVito. De Niro was of course, perfect as the cold-blooded Jimmy Conway. And Goodfellas has the distinct honor of being the only good movie Ray Liotta has been in. Based on the book entitled Wiseguys (which incidentally, Scorsese wanted to call the movie, but couldn't because of
legal problems) Goodfellas, which is based on a true story, chronicles three decades of life in the mafia; starting with Henry Hill's induction into the mob and ending with his downfall. As with most mafia movies, the most irresistable part is "the life" as they call it. What I mean is, the way mobsters do whatever they want, buy cops, lawyers judges, and get away with anything, that's what makes gangster movies so great and that's what makes Goodfellas perfect.
Even if you've seen it, rent it today, today, even if you've got the whole thing memorized Goodfellas is still fun to watch. That's the review so you do whatever...but that's it. Other notable mobster movies include The Godfather trilogy, Carlito's Way, Miller's Crossing. Look for more video picks and reviews in the next issue.

The Vista Entertainment staff is running a series of reviews of movies that can be rented from the local video store.

Lee became an international, cult hero and star of arguably the most popular martial-arts epic ever caught on film. Enter the Dragon takes Lee to the Island fortress of a Chinese , criminal dictator, Han (Shih Kien) whose martial-arts academy covers up drug smuggling and prostitution activities. Avenging his sister's death,
Lee infiltrates Han's domain and enters a most brutal tournament, which gives no points for second place. This film envelopes an incredible visual banquet of competitors harvesting skills in karate, judo, tai kwon do, tai chi chuan and hapkido. Demonstrating the mastery film of rhythm and timing, Lee staged these sequences himself. Indeed though, his own
performances as an actor and a world accomplished martial artist displays all the qualities that have kept his impeccable reputation alive since his 1973 death. In action, Lee moves with such speed and accuracy of a mongoose attacking its mortal prey, the cobra. The Lee era gave the public an idealistic view of how an exceptional action film can be accomplished.
The martial-arts fervor Lee helped influenced still persists and his films establish a crowdpleasing legacy yet repeated in today's Hollywood standards. Other martial-arts movies of note include Jackie Chan's Project A parts 1 and 2, The Quest with Jean Claude Van Damme and Police Story.

Merit-credit program tota drops By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer
The second annual Faculty Merit-Credit program, which provides awards to faculty for achievements at UCO, will receive $15,000, a $3,500 drop from last year's award total. The program is funded through interest income on funds by UCO President's Partners Program. As interest rates vary, so will the amount, said Terry May, assistant vice president of academic affairs. Full-time faculty who have demonstrated achievements in teaching, research, and/or service within the past two years can
submit an application by Monday, Oct. 21 in the Office of Academic Affairs. Six $1,500 awards, eight $1,000 awards and three $500 awards were given last year. The award money is not a cash award but a credit account through office of academic affairs to be used for the category awarded. It is at the committee's discretion as to how the money will be awarded, said Dr. William Radke, professor of biology and 1995-96 faculty merit-credit committee chair. A new chair will be decided at the first committee meeting. Each category has a set of requirements by which the

hree Oklahoma artists worked together for a year on the new exhibit "Trail of Introspection" in the Central Museum of Art on campus. The exhibit is on display until October 27. Sunni Mercer, Corazon S. Watkins and Georgia Williams are presenting the exhibit as a visual metaphor that focuses on issues affecting the human condition. The artist's intent is to evoke critical thinking about social and spiritual transformation, John McNeese, organizer of the exhibit, said. The artist's talked to each other about what they wanted to accomplish with this exhibit and discussed how to go about setting it up. Each artist worked on their own project for the exhibit. None had to deviate from their normal art form to participate in the exhibit. Watkin's part of the exhibit is three spiritual sanctuaries. "The installation aims to express the religious landscape
of today's society... The struggle for more meaningful religious and spiritual connectedness will continue and be a big part of life." "What is abundance? Is it material or spiritual? Or, is it both?...What is our personal responsibility in today's world culture? These concerns are addressed in my art," said Williams who did the grouping of paper packets with pumpkin seed inside on the West wall. Mercer's part of the exhibit is the different ceramics, wood, glass, bone and metal objects on the pedestals. "I call my work seeable soul searching... my pieces are elements that provide contemplation and introspection." McNeese said the three were picked because of his past association with them and his knowledge of their experience in installation work. The exhibit is designed in a spiritual motif with each artist bringing their own introspective ideas with them, he said. All the work is placed together as one piece, McNeese said, "So people could draw their own conclusions."
committee members assign a set of points. Fifty points are possible in each area. Award recipients will be decided by the committee in December and notification will be given before the spring semester. In the guidelines written by the Faculty Merit-Credit Committee and Academic Affairs, applicants can apply and be awarded in more than one area. A seperate application is required for each area. Awards in the same area can not be received for two consecutive years. Last year, Dr. James Bidlack, assistant professor of biology, was one of two who received

awards in two areas. Bidlack's two areas were research and teaching. He used the award to purchase a laser printer. "There are a lot of things this program allows us to do that we
were not otherwise able to do," said Bidlack. He plans to enter in the service category this year. If the award is given to him, he plans to make a research lab for biology students.

Actor-writer-director Shares tricks of the trade with UCO students ew York actordirector-screenwriter, Anthony Herrera, shared insights into the world of professional acting and film making with UCO students this week. Herrera, best known as daytime television villain, John Stenbeck on As The World Turns, spent Monday and Tuesday evenings presenting screenings and discussions of his films The Wide Net and Mississippi Delta
N
Blues.
Herrera addressed the issues of politics and funding for the arts as he spoke to a crowd of more than 100 students Monday morning. He spent Tuesday lecturing to writing classes and participating in an audition workshop with theater students. Herrera, who tours with his film and lecture series as well as theater productions of his play Smoke & Mirrors, said his art is his passion. Though his greatest success has been in the field of acting, Herrera didn't discover his talents until late in his college career. Born and raised in Wiggins, Miss., Herrera described his youth in a 1950s southern town

as being something like the movie, The Last Picture Show. "I did all the typical things," he said, "football games, driveins, dances." As a college student at the University of Mississippi, Herrera took pre-med courses, a decision he said was influenced by the social climate he grew up in. It wasn't cool to be in the arts in the early 1960s," he said, "Especially at Ole Miss." The studies resulted in a bachelor's degree in zoology for Herrera but his interest in literature led him to take a different route in his academic career. He continued his education at the University of Mississippi, pursuing the English literature degree he received in 1968. "I came to a point in my life when I decided that what others thought about me wasn't as important as what I thought about myself," he said. Herrera credits an English literature professor as being a major influence on his life. "He wasn't an ordinary English lit teacher. He pushed us to look at different aspects of life through literary works." V See HERRERA Page 13
