New SGA president in 'hot water' Stories by David L. Hanigar

Staff Writer

UCO Student Government president accused of discrimination

Ben Harris, president of the Student Government Association (SGA), made a mistake in a meeting Wednesday that could cost him his office, SGA Speaker Doug Redus said.

Defending against allegations brought against him in a meeting Wednesday, Harris disclosed personal information about a senate applicant.

The information was about UCO student Charley Harjo's grade point and hours attempted. Using a social security number from Harjo's application, Han -is admitted he accessed the information through use of the enrollment office's computer terminals.

The access of personal records without permission could be considered invasion of privacy.

Harris said he was using the terminals to

verify the information submitted on the application and felt it was implied consent.

"That information is available to anybody on the computers at the administration building," Harris said.

The matter will be addressed in the next senate meeting, Redus said. Other issues, such as a discrimination charge against a senate applicant and the vice president election, will be postponed until this is resolved, Redus said.

"This, in my opinion, could potentially become very harmful to SGA," Redus said.

Although he doesn't want to see Harris leave office, it will be a decision of the student body, either through senate or an appeal to the supreme court, Redus said At the time The Vista went to press, hearsay of an impeachment was spreading.

Because there is not a vice president, Speaker Redus will temporarily become acting president and the executive speaker Thompson will become Speaker. An election must occur within two weeks, Redus said.

Redus said he will not run for the office and does not want to see Harris leave office.

"Ben has the potential to be an excellent president...he's got a lot of good ideas and he truly has the student body at heart," Redus said.

What happened was unfortunate, Redus said.

Harjo said he is glad that SGA is taking care of the matter. Although he said he personally feels it is being taken care of, he does not know if he will pursue legal action. 4D

Student Government Association (SGA) President Ben Harris was accused of discrimination in an informal meeting Wednesday.

Harris was accused by Adam Harwood, head of the SGA continuum committee, of withholding UCO student Charley Harjo's senate application because of Harjo's sexual preference.

Harjo is a member of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance for Student Support (GLASS).

Under SGA guidelines, after a review and interview is conducted with the senate applicants, the president sends what he considers the most qualified senate applications to the continuum committee, where another review and interview is conducted. Once approved by the continuum committee, the senate appointee is sworn in at a meeting.

Wednesday there were only two seats available in the senate.

The continuum committee had five applications.

Harjo's was not one of them.

on't go North, Don't go South,...Go...Oh, who cares?!? Who were the creative geniuses who implemented this prophetic masterpiece, anyway?

Students, staff and faculty receive "official" literature with this slogan slapped on it. What symbolic meaning does it have? Sure, it's cute, but... we all know this is Central Oklahoma.

Last year it was "UCO—it keeps growing, and growing and growing..." This was a beauty, too.

Many admit this year's catch phrase is better than the "growing and growing..." routine fed to the campus last fall, but, believe it or not, many students do not get the whole "go central" theme.

"Go central" reminds readers remotely of hormone-overdosed teens maxed out on endorphins at a high school pep rally. College, as is obvious to most, is not high school. Especially UCO, if any school, would not willingly adopt this sloppy slogan.

The median age of commuters is close to 30.

Whoops...

So, maybe it was just meant to be cute, and honestly, it is—well, kind of. That's okay...there may not have been much else to choose from. Or, maybe some department was assigned to do it on the spur of the moment.

Hey, many people don't even know UCO has a "campus phrase."

So, "Who cares?" one may ask.

Well, if time gets cramped while brainstorming for next fall's rhetorical "spirit booster," and someone wants suggestions, go to the student population.

Have a ball.

Here's a popular suggestion: "It's campy. It's corny. It's UCO!"

Commuters treated like 'dust of the earth'

F

or weeks now, I've contemplated writing about parking problems, but I've put it off thinking the problems will either go away, or some ingenious power will see the need and implement the change.

Wrong, at least not as of Sept.

24, around 6:50 p.m. when the ticket writer was having a heyday working the small commuter lot by the police station. The only commuter lot, I might add, by Old North, Evans, Administration and the library.

If this is a commuter school, why are commuters treated like the dust of the earth? My first frustration was trying to buy an annual parking pass in the spring for two semesters. Sorry, those are only sold in the fall for fall and spring semesters, not for spring and summer, or summer and fall. Then why are the passes called annual, and why can't they be purchased for back to back semesters?

A reason commuters choose this school is the quick accessibility to class buildings. We have been cautioned by a caring letter to the editor about construction hazards. The letter also informed us there were 16,000 commuters compared to 2,000 faculty and staff (F & S). Yet, around the aforementioned buildings, the major portion

of parking spaces are for F & S. Plus, the perimeter of the commuter lot has F & S spaces, making it all disproportional. I am not fussing about F & S having good parking spaces, but I am concerned about the inequality of spaces on a percentage basis.

Yes, commuters have all these spaces on the southeast corner of campus. Great, for who? I, and many others have no classes on that side.

Who, with or without an escort, wants to walk way over there through construction hazards after dark?

Many commuters are older than faculty and staff, and should not be walking that far.

Administrators of parking would not care to walk that far, and should make appropriate revisions to the confusing parking plan while showing consideration for commuters.

Has anyone tallied the number of evening commuters, compared to evening staff people'? Ironically, many of the staff spaces by the library are empty after 4:30 p.m. Is there any reason desperate commuters couldn't use them without being ticketed? Tuesday, I learned that commuters, if they have a current hanging parking decal, can use those spaces after 5 p.m. First, I ask, how many of you knew that?

Secondly, most evening class-

es start at 4:40 p.m., which is also crunch time for tired commuters to find a parking space. Should not 5 p.m. be changed to a more logical 4 p.m. or at least 4:30 p.m?

If inequalities continue to exist for commuters, they will go elsewhere. If construction is the problem, parking fees should be less or non-existent. Commuters pay tax for the school, they pay tuition and fees, and should not be doubly penalized with parking tickets. I am amazed there has not been an uprising.

Soon to bring controversy is the new pay lot serving the University Center (UC) that is bound to be a real "rip off" to commuters wanting to use the book store, career center, cafeteria, etc. Recently, on a Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m., people attending various • functions at the UC could not find a place to park, because many spaces were roped off for Mrs. Nigh's breakfast guests who were later in arriving. Question: who will bear the brunt of future college guest parking there?

Hopefully, not the underdog commuters who are the silent majority here, and who deserve more respect for their value to this campus.

"I know. That's what I like about UCO—we've got a lot of people our age in classes. They make good students. I just don't see how anybody can make a living on minimum wage working in a fast-food restaurant."

Then the Mulhall exit sign was next.

"What are you going to do tonight?

Think you can catch a ride?"

"Oh, I may get lucky, but it's hard. I'll probably just sleep out and catch a ride tomorrow."

"Not exactly how you want to camp out, is it?"

"No, but we like to camp. Spent part of the summer up at Great Salt Plains, fishing with the boys. We ran a trot line out to a buoy. In the morning I waded out, with my youngest on my shoulders. Water up to my neck, and we pulled out this huge cat—bigger than my boy! You should have seen his eyes when he saw that fish."

Smiling, he gestured with his hands, showing how big they got.

"Are you hungry?" I asked as I spotted the Stillwater turnoff ahead.

"Haven't eaten all day. I even had a homeless person ask me for money.

Couldn't help him."

"There's a quickstop up here by the exit. I don't have much, but I've got enough to get you something."

"A bottle of pop sure would taste good."

"Sorry I don't have much. I try to keep a sack

One day in August when it was 105 I saw a man, woman and half-, baby sitting on a guardrail, and I couldn't help them. That's when I started carrying those sacks, but I gave the last away." I started to explain about not getting paid until Oct. 1 and things being tight, but thought about him and was embarrassed.

"Boy that heat would kill a little kid.

At least the weather is good. I'll probably sleep out tonight."

"Will you be warm enough?"

"Yeah, I've got that blanket, and a good plastic raincoat. The wife will be worried, but if I get home by tomorrow noon, it'll be ok."

"Call her?"

"No, that's long distance."

We pulled off the Interstate and stopped at :he store. Digging in my pockets, I found six wrinkled one dollar bills and some change.

Then he reached in the front door. His handshake was firm. He smiled and said, "Thanks, Terry," just before he shut the door.

As the car headed east into the dark, I thought briefly again about those car and money "problems" at home. They're not problems.

I thought about Terry sleeping in a grassy field by the Interstate, his family in Enid.

It could just as easily have been Terry Clark.

The system isn't working.

'The case of New ATM machine at UCO the vanishing allows more cash flexibility UCO budget

By Roy Howe Staff Writer A Fiscal fiasco?

Rumors regarding missing departmental dollars were fast to spread throughout the campus faculty as September came to an end.

October is typically when the various departments get back any left over money budgeted to them from the previous fiscal year— from July 1 to June 30.

But according to those who dish out the dough, some department heads might have thought that $900,000 in one-time funds issued last year would carry forward to this year's budget if it was not spent.

One-time monies do not carry forward to the next fiscal year if it is not spent during the year it was issued, said Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration. This has been UCO policy since 1991.

In addition, money remaining from supplements used to buy additional equipment or other needs, or funds that had already been carried over from a previous fiscal year, cannot be carried forward a second time.

These procedures are not new this fiscal year, Mounce said. But a recently revised carry-forward procedure now allows departments to carry forward left over money al lotted for faculty salaries.

A meeting regarding carry-forward procedures was conducted yesterday from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at the University Center.

This issue of The Vista had already gone to print prior to the meeting.

Another rumor dismissed by Mounce surrounds the possibility that some departments' carry-forward funds were taken away because the 1993-94 fiscal year budget was "overspent."

"You can't overspend your budget," she said.

Approval for small amounts can be granted by UCO President George Nigh, but large amounts must go before the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, Mounce said.

She did say the university's revenues were nearly $700,000 short of what was projected last fiscal year.

The money to recoup this amount came from the university's reserve, she said.

UCO's current reserve account is at almost $2 million. Four million dollars are in a "control account" for benefit increases and possible mid-year salary adjustments, Mounce said.

UCO is working with a $52.2 million budget this year, the same amount allotted during the 199394 fiscal year. This amounts to the fourth largest budget for an Oklahoma state school.

The Vista and other area media were contacted by UCO faculty regarding the carry-forward procedures. No one would speak on

the record.

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Credit card wielding UCO students will notice a change when they go to use the automated teller machine (ATM) in the University Center.

Bank IV, the ATM owner, sent contractors to replace the old ATM with a new National Cash Register (NCR).

The NCR is capable of accepting deposits as well as distributing

money in denominations of $5, $10 and S20 allowing students more flexibility during their automated transactions, said Trisha Arnold, installation coordinator for Bank IV. "The Bank IV branch in Edmond requested that we swap the machine to offer more capabilities to the students on campus.

"They thought it would be a nice aspect to allow the students to make deposits and get the two denominadons," said Arnold.

Hairstylists offer chance to `cut' into cancer research

By Sheila Nunnelee Staff Writer Would you ever think that getting a haircut could someday help find a cure for cancer?

Regis hairstylists in Quail Springs Mall, with other stylists nationwide, will be having a benefit "Clip for the Cure," for breast cancer research, giving haircuts and manicures for $10 throughout the day Oct. 8.

The Regis Corporation has been involved in the benefit for the past three years and has raised $800,000. The goal for this year is one million dollars, said Cherie Pendergraft, manager of Regis Salon in Quail Springs Mall.

With the money earned from the haircuts, 10 percent of all Regis products sold Oct. 1 through Oct. 8 will be donated to the research.

Pendergraft said the services will be offered in Dillard's court, where stylists will be donating their time.

Nurses will also be available to answer questions and explain how to do self breast exams.

This is for a good cause and in order to find a cure, research is needed, said Pendergraft.

The money will be sent to Myron Kunin, chairman of the Breast Cancer Institute in Washington, D C . said Pendergraft.

For more information, contact Cherie Pendergraft at 7512155.

ROTC trainees to 'navigate' Lake Arcadia in October

By Matt Williamson Staff Writer During a war-like situation, there are three important things any soldier needs—food, ammunition and the knowledge of where they are.

"If an officer is not skilled in land navigation, he won't know where they are, can not call for fire support or get resupplied.

Hence, that is why we spend a lot of time doing this on campus," said Maj. Theodore Brogden, chairperson/instructor of military sciences for UCO. Teaching the basic skills of land navigation: maps, compasses and pace counting are the responsibility of the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC).

The training will take place

Sentence melted for ice cream thief THOMASTON, Ga. (AP) — The teen-ager who was originally sentenced to three years in prison for stealing ice cream escaped a retrial today by pleading guilty to reduced charges.

Superior Court Judge Paschal English Jr. sentenced Dehundra Caldwell, 18, to 12 months' probation and ordered him to pay $600 in fines and court fees. He pleaded guilty to two counts of misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

Last year, the black teen-ager pleaded guilty to breaking into a school and stealing about $20 worth of ice cream bars in July 1993. A judge sentenced him to three years. That sentence sparked an uproar, with critics saying it was racist to punish a youth with no prior record so severely.

He spent 10 days in jail before being freed pending a review of the case. Caldwell's original guilty plea and felony conviction were eventually overturned by the Georgia Court of Appeals, but last month, he was reindicted on the burglary charge.

Students fuming over body odor SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — High school administrators have caused a stink by sending letters about body odor to 16 exchange students.

The letter was sent Sept. 21 after a teacher complained about the hygiene of one of the students, said Airline High School Principal D.C. Machen.

The letter said "Americans find body odors highly offensive" and that the students should adopt "a daily ritual of cleanliness so as not to offend your American hosts. "I read it and put it in the trash because it was so stupid," said Leo Antunes, a 16-year-old Brazilian.

After three students complained, Machen and counselor Gene Self, who wrote the letter, apologized to all 16 who got the letter.

Ms. Self should have spoken with the one student privately, Machen said. "She realizes she made a mistake there," he said In the letter, Ms. Self wrote of her observations while traveling in Europe.

"American girls shaved their legs where European girls, on the whole, did not," the letter read. "Americans seemed to pay more attention to appearance. They were well-groomed, neat, squeaky clean. The boys were clean-shaven with short hair. No one looked like Andre Agassi."

She said despite the tennis star's appearance, "I'll wager he showers daily, uses deodorant and washes his hair regularly."

Agassi, who sports a scruffy beard, shoulder-length hair and earrings, won the U.S. Open earlier this month.

U.S. remains returned from China BEUING (AP) — China returned to the U.S. government today the remains of two American airmen killed during World War II when their plane crashed in Tibet.

The two airmen were part of U.S. efforts to support Chinese troops fighting invading Japanese forces. Nearly 500 U.S. planes were shot down or crashed during the 1942-1945 airlift over the Himalayas from northeastern India to China's landlocked forces based in Kunming. About 40 remain unaccounted for.

U.S. officials did not give the identities of the servicement.

The crash site of a C-87 cargo plane was discovered in September, 1993, by a Tibetan hunter. A team of local authorities and the Chinese army recovered the bodies of three of the five crew and turned them over to the United States last December.

Earlier this month, a joint U.S.-Chinese recovery team returned to the site and recovered the remains of the other two crewmen.

The plane crashed into a glacier in northeastern Tibet on Dec, 31, 1944, on its way back from Kunming to its base in Joharat, India. It is believed to have encountered high winds and icy conditions.

Photographers to display `Images of Central Oklahoma' at sister university in Puebla

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

Residents of Puebla, Mexico will have an opportunity to get a glimpse of central Oklahoma thanks to some area photographers.

A four-person jury selected photos Sept. 16 to send to UCO's sister university, the Universidad Popular Autonoma Estada De Puebla Mexico (UPAEP).

"Images of Central Oklahoma," a group of 37 photos, will be exhibited in Puebla sometime around the second week in November, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, director of the Donna Nigh Gallery.

The exhibition will be the first cultural exchange between UCO and Puebla.

Before being shipped to Mexico, six of the photos will be shown in a mini-exhibit Nov. 7 in the Heritage Room in the University Center.

Of the 37 pictures selected, three received special recognition.

"Blanket of Patriotism," an 11x14 color photo by Donna Kerr, won $200 for the Best of Show Purchase Award.

Mike Simons won $100 for his "Norman Groove Fest," which took the award for Best Black and White Photography.

A picture by Elaine Warner, "Nocturne," won the Best Color Photography award and earned her $100.

Other photographers who had works selected were: Quantrell Colbert, Roy Duggins, Phillips

Hall, Arlene M. Halley, Thomas A. Huber, Ron Kirkwood, Dagmar M. Peery, Clayton B. Rogers, Daniel Shaffer, Steve Sisney, Pete Sleeper, Gene Streller, Denise Wynia and Mark Zimmerman.

"There was a large turnout, a lot of photographs were entered," said Adams. "It's a big honor to be selected for the exhibition."

The jury that selected the works consisted of Dr. Woody Gaddis, professor of photography at UCO; Michael Hanis of the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum; Bob Palmer, assistant professor of art at UCO; and Mr. Dan Smith, director of photographic services at UCO.

Scholarship Office updates database

By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer The Scholarship Office has received new scholarship information from Financial Aid Finders, a data base updated twice a year.

The scholarship program, directed by Nancy Benjamin, is aimed at making students aware of scholarships and helping students connect with those scholarships.

"We have received lots of new scholarships in the office," said Benjamin.

Two new scholarships that have recently come in are for the older student: the Edmond Women's Club Scholarship for women over 30 and the AARP Back-to-School Money Book for women over 35.

"We also have the Need a Lift, a book of scholarships from the American Legion Service for students of all ages. This can also be obtained from any American Legion Post for $2," said Benjamin.

In order to access scholarships through the data base, Benjamin enters the student's personal profile and major-master codes into the program, which then prints out a scholarship award report.

Benjamin said due to the data base update, the average amount of scholarships available to the student is 28 pages with three scholarships to a page.

A personal profile and indexed card file is kept on each student that comes in the office, so new scholarships can be readily matched up with them.

However, filling out a person-

al profile does not automatically submit the student's application for scholarships.

Benjamin advised students to send a generic letter to each address asking for information concerning requirements and application forms.

If they have not heard from the organization within four to six weeks, she recommends they follow up, even if it is past the application deadline, because sometimes there is still money available.

Approximately $2 billion is available from a wide range of areas each year for scholarships and only $400 million is utilized, said Benjamin.

The Scholasrhip Office is located in Room 118 of Thatcher Hall, for more information, call Benjamin at 341-2980, Ext. 2636.

Another day, another record for Aska Joe Aska, Broncho defense push UCO past East Texas State, 16-7

By Scott Moore Sports Editor

Just give the ball to Joe Aska.

That statement seemed to sum up the Central Oklahoma offensive attack Saturday Afternoon as Aska was most of UCO's offensive firepower in a 16-7 Lone Star Conference victory over the East Texas State Lions at Wantland Stadium.

Aska's number was called 45 times and Aska responded by gaining 241 yards and scoring two touchdowns. Aska's 45 carries broke a school record set by Tyrone Jones who carried the ball 44 times for 212 yards against Cameron in 1991. The previous week, Aska set a new UCO single game rushing record by gaining 312 yards against Langston (Sept.24).

Only 109 yards of the Bronchos 350 yards total offense did not come from Aska as The Lions held UCO under the bronchos yards-per-game average of 367.8.

ETSU entered the contest leading the Lone Star Conference in rushing defense giving up just 85 yards per game.

"We did reasonably well on offense today," said UCO Head Coach Gary Howard. "Aska had a good game and we moved the ball well at times but we also had some turnovers that kept us from scoring more points."

Indeed, the 13th ranked Bronchos could have extended the margin of victory but a fumble by freshman tailback Hodrick Steele at the ETSU 9 early in the fourth and a fumble by Joe Aska at the

ETSU 15 late in the game thwarted possible scoring drives.

But the 16 points was all that was needed as the UCO defense held the 18th ranked Lions to just 43 yards on the ground and 248 yards total, well below their averages of 116 yards per game rushing and 343.8 yards of total offense.

"I thought the defense put in a great effort today," said Howard.

"These guys are playing well and they're playing together. They have a positive attitude and they believe that they can go out and do the job and so far they have."

The win pushes the Bronchos record to 5-0 on the year, their first 5-0 start since 1983. The Lions fall to 3-2 on the year. The victory

marked the first time since 1985 that the Bronchos have beaten ETSU. "They've always had a good football team and they had a good team today," said Howard. "Hopefully this will prove to be a big victory for us, one that will prove that we can line up and play with anyone."

The defense rose to the occasion against the Lions, especially in the second half.

UCO led the Lions 16-0 through three quarters but with 9:55 left in the game Aska fumbled at the Broncho 20 and ETSU recovered giving them a golden opportunity.

It took only one play for the Lions to capitalize on UCO's mistake as quarterback Chandler

Evans hit fullback Michael Kelly for a 21-yard scoring strike. The successful point after narrowed the margin to 16-7 with 9:45 left in the game.

On the next possession, the Lions held the Bronchos on three downs and forced them to punt.

UCO punter Brian Richards managed only an 18-yard punt which set up ETSU at the Broncho 40.

The Broncho defense stiffened for three plays and on fourth-and-two at the UCO 35 Evans tossed an incomplete pass.

The Lions would get another shot after another UCO punt put

them at their own 23 with about 3:30 left in the game. Two plays later, Broncho senior defensive back Elton Rhoades intercepted an Evans pass with 3:16 left in the contest.

The Bronchos took over at the Lion 36. Six plays later, Aska would fumble the ball back to ETSU inside the Lion 15 yard line.

Ironically, it was that carry that allowed Aska to break the record.

The lions took over at their own 21 with 57 seconds leftin the game.

They marched to the UCO 13 but an Evans pass was picked off in the end zone by sophomore free safety Larry nunn. The Bronchos would intercept four Lion passes; three by Rhoades.

"We've been playing great pass defense both on the line and in the secondary," said Howard. "This year we've had some great individual efforts."

Evans was 14-of-34 for 19'4, yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. The Bronchos held ETSU to just 205 yards passing.

The Lions entered the game averaging 227.8 yards passing per game.

UCO sophomore quarterback Stanley Pena was 50 percent on the day, completing 6-of-12 for 68 yards and an interception. Pena entered the game averaging 119 yards per game passing with an incredible completion percentage of 64.3 percent.

Study tour plans Rape counseling services, trek to Germany support groups in works

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

It may be a little early for New Year's Eve plans. But for those who would like earn two credit hours while attending a New Year's Eve Party at the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, its time to make plans now.

Party animals and serious students alike may join Dr. Siegfried Heit on a two week UCO Study Tour of Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic.

The trip includes round-trip air fare lodging and two meals per day in Munich, rail, bus and metro transportation, admission to museums and castles.

"We're looking at taking a group of about 15 to 20 people.

The cost of $1,500 may vary depending on exchange rates. A deposit of $900 to secure air fare and hotel is required by Oct. 21," said Heit, assistant professor of humanities and philosophy.

"We will fly either directly to Berlin or Frankfurt, Germany," said Heit.

The advantage of Frankfurt would be to take the train to Berlin. This would give the students the opportunity to see some of the German country side. Many students have indicated that never having traveled on a train, they would welcome the experience, he said.

"We expect to spend around three days at each location. The emphasis will be on Berlin, where we will visit art galleries and museums, including the Check Point Charlie Museum which will give the students an idea what the Berlin Wall was all about."

"Its not just going to be stuffy cut and dried humanities.

We are going to participate in a swinging New Year's Eve Party at the Brandenburg Gate which

used to be divided by the Berlin Wall," said Heit.

A visit to the famous Soviet Memorial Park in Treptow East Berlin, where over 25,000 Soviet soldiers were buried after losing their lives during the battle for Berlin, is planned, said Heit.

"We will also visit Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, and its surrounding areas."

From Prague, the tour will proceed to Vienna, capital of Austria. Vienna is the city of music and many other things including the Vienna International Centre housing the International Atomic Energy agency, said Heit.

"From there we will try to visit Pilsen, known for its beer."

"Our next stop will be Munich, the capital of Bavaria.

While we're in Munich, we are going to try to take a one day excursion to Salzburg to tour the site of the film The Sound of Music."

"We will either return by train to Frankfurt and fly back home or fly home directly from Munich."

"There will be lectures for the students in conference rooms by local experts.

Lectures will also be held in the art galleries and museums, where we will actually walk through and discuss the item under consideration," said Heit.

"I have conducted this trip for the last 15 years while teaching at other universities and find that this is a good way to learn."

Heit, who speaks fluent German, was born in Germany and moved here as a child with his parents.

After growing up in the states, he has returned to Germany many times during his adult years, and did some of his graduate work in Germany.

Participation in the group is limited to UCO students and faculty, and meetings will be held in the University Center, said Tomlinson.

"If you're enrolled, even if it's one class, you're eligible," she said.

Tomlinson is trained in rape survivor counseling. She directed the Gaylord Rape Center at the Oklahoma City YMCA and is currently working toward the completion of her practicum for her degree in crisis counseling.

"I think these programs help tremendously because if you turn all the feelings inside, they're going to come out some day," said Tomlinson.

UCO graduate student Donna Tomlinson is forming two rape crisis intervention groups in conjunction with the UCO Counseling Center.

One group is for males and the other is for females.

Establishment of the groups will depend on the number of people interested in joining, said Tomlinson.

UCO's 'South Central' - lauded for driving ed instruction to disabled

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer UCO's South Central Safety Institute was recently awarded for its driving instruction program for the disabled by the Department of Rehabilitative Services (DRS).

During the past 23 years, the institute has helped more than 1000 disabled clients learn to drive, said Dr. Lonnie Gilliland Jr., director of the institute.

"We've had inquiries about the possibility of coming here from as far away as Israel, Germany and so forth. This kind of education just is not readily available," said Gilliland. ✓ The institute is designated as the regional center for disabled driving instruction by DRS. It handles as many as 50 clients a year, said Gilliland.

As a policy, the institute will accept anybody who can pass the Department of Public Safety's driving test.

"Our policy has always been the ones that can drive should and the ones that can't, shouldn't," said Gilliland.

The award comes as recognition of the Institute's service to DRS clients, said Gilliland.

"My dad was director up here before I came," said Gilliland.

He said he grew up around safety ed and followed his father to UCO after 18 years of coaching with the Oklahoma City public school system.

"I've been in driver education now for about 30 years,. I've always been in school systems, I've never worked for the Department of Public Safety," said Gilliland. ✓

The program was a pio-

neering effort on the part of instructors here at UCO. "These kinds of endeavors weren't very popular because there was feelings among the various licensing agencies that these people probably should not be out on the street because they would be a liability to other motorists," said Gilliland.

He continued, "Quite the con- Dr. Lonnie Gilliland receives an award from Lynda Collins on behalf of the Oklahoma Rehabilitation verse, that is not true. But those Association, for 23 years of service. The banquet was held in the Metro Tech Big Dipper Room on Thursday. (Staff Photo by John Gilmore) people had those feelings."

Gilliland said he considers CAREER DEVELOPMENT & PLACEMENT SERVICES himself a "rookie" because Fall 1994 Interview Schedule every person's situation is differ(As of September 29, 1994) ent.

The institute is respon✓ sible for making assessments for DRS clients as to what apparatuses or training each person may need as well as informing those clients where they may acquire the equipment. But in some cases the clients are trained elsewhere and simply come for the assessment.

"In the future, I think we will play a more active roll," said Gilliland.

"We are proud of this and all the people that have been over here," said Gilliland.

He reported that roughly 85 percent of the clients coming through the institute are able to drive as a result of the program.

"I started out as a rookie, and am still a rookie, but I like to think I can understand the feelings of some of these so-called disabled individuals," said Gilliland.

Gilliland attributes ✓ thier success to the passage of laws to help the disabled, but he said he thinks the public should understand that these individuals are as capable, if not superior, because of their ability to overcome adversity.

Set in a carnival type atmosphere, The Roar of the Greasepaint! The Smell of the Crowd! deals with the eternal game of life and the seeking for the advancement of position by Cocky, a character.

Cocky is the downtrodden character who repeatedly tries to better his position in life, and is repeatedly defeated in his attempts. Sir, a character who has everything Cocky wants, repeatedly reminds Cocky of his place. Much of this is done through songs.

Carveth Osterhaus, music theater director, said this is his fourth time to direct this particular musical.

The Black, a character even worse off than Cocky, gives Cocky the chance to exert authority, thus giving him confidence to stand up to Sir. Sir and Cocky come to the

understanding that they have to work together to make the grade.

Some of the songs in the musical are well known, said Osterhaus. These include: The Beautiful Land, A Wonderful Day Like Today, Put It In The Book and With All Due Respect.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for senior citizens, $2 for nonUCO students or children.

Admission for UCO students, faculty and staff is free with a validated ID.

State and local leaders will meet at the University Center on the campus of UCO Oct. 14 to discuss recommendations to improve Oklahoma government.

The Nigh Institute of State Government at UCO will participate at the forum as a co-sponsor. Other sponsors include the Oklahoma Office of Personnel Management, Oklahoma Municipal League and Oklahoma Public Employees Association.

State and Local Public Service through funding from the Ford Foundation and Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Additional funding of the commission's work is from the Florence and John Schumann Foundation.

The forums are designed to help states recognize, support and encourage the efforts of groups around the country that are looking for innovative ways to make their governments more effective and efficient.

The national commission issued a report, Hard Truths/Tough Choices, in 1993 identifying 10 objectives for state and local government reform.

After the report was issued and the Oklahoma grant awarded, a steering committee was formed to begin the process of developing recommendations for a high performance government.

Five preliminary meetings across the state have been held in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Enid, McAlester and Lawton.

"Our preparation for the Oklahoma Forum began as soon as we received word of the grant," said Lynda Earls, special projects director for the Office of Outreach at UCO. Invitations to the meetings were extended to state and local

pubiic service organizations. A wide spectrum of citizens with a vast area of concern, as it relates to state and local government, convened at the meetings, which were open to the public. Lists of "working ideas" for improvement of government performance were developed.

What evolved were discussion groups who submitted position papers outlining recommendations to improve Oklahoma government.

These papers will be the focus for the forum Oct. 14.

Objectives of the forum include prioritizing recommendations from the papers, developing a task force and an action plan for further activities stemming from the forum.

Gov. Walters and key legislators have been invited to attend.

Frank Thompson, executive director of the national commission on the State and Local Public Service will be the luncheon speaker.

A final report produced by the task force will be presented to Oklahoma's new governor and state legislators. • To register for the 'forum, contact, Lynda Earls, 341-2980, Ext. 2427. The forum will run from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Ballroom, third floor of the University Center.

THE VISTA

PREJUDICE continued from front page

During the meeting, two SGA members, Carol Crawley and Danielle Beckman, said that Harris told them he would not appoint Harjo because he didn't want any more GLASS people on the senate.

Beckman said she wasn't sure if Harris specifically addressed GLASS or if he referred to "those kind of people."

Although he claims to have never met Harjo, Harwood said he doesn't feel he can fill the seats until he is sure Harris' decision is not discriminatory.

"If the application was not passed on to continuum committee for that reason, which that's the assumption I'm making...then that's against university guidelines; it's against the student government constitution," Harwood said.

Harris said he did not say the things he's accused of, however.

He opened his defense by asking questions to SGA members and using their answers to attack Crawley and Beckman's credibility.

He also used the testimony of Steven Dickson, chairman of the Oklahoma City Community College chapter of College Republicans to defend his position.

Dickson debated Harris in 1994 at the College Republican State Convention. Harris argued against the discrimination of homosexuals on the state and national platforms.

Although Harris lost the debate, he stood his ground when the majority of the convention disagreed and heckled him, Dickson said.

Dickson told the meeting members he personally was against homosexuality.

"Saying that Ben would discrimi-

Li

nate against somebody because they are a homosexual is crazy. I could be easily accused of that, but Ben could not," Dickson said.

But Harwood is convinced Harris made the comment.

Even after knowing that they would be susceptible to lawsuit for slander, Crawley and Beckman still came forward, he said.

"It was a very simple issue in the beginning," Harwood said.

Once he heard about Harris' comments, Harwood asked Harris for more senate applications to consider so they could make the best possible choice, Harwood said. Harris said he had given Harwood five applications for two seats and that was his decision.

Harwood told Harris he could be accused of holding Harjo's application only because he was gay.

"He contended that he didn't know Charley was gay. He suspected it, but he didn't know that," Harwood said.

Harris said he could not have discriminated against Harjo because he didn't know Harjo's sexual preference.

Harris told Harwood the reason for not submitting the application was because he felt Harjo was not as qualified as the others, Harwood said.

But that wasn't convincing enough, Harwood said.

Harwood then asked Harris to turn over the application just to avoid the allegations.

"He would not be admitting guilt or innocence in turning over the application. It's simply a chance to say, 'I want to make sure that justice is done in complete fairness."' Harwood said.

It would not guarantee him a seat because there would still be six applications for only two positions, Harwood said.

But, Harris did not agree to the

compromise. He stood firm on his decision and insisted it was based on Harjo's qualifications only.

Harjo's failure to uphold a position in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature, a barely qualifying grade point and an average interview were the reasons, Harris said.

"In my opinion, the facts favor me on most occasions or I wouldn't argue.

I think today I proved the charges brought against me were ludicrous," Harris said.

Another defense brought up during the meeting indicated that a small antiHarris group exists.

A letter to the editor in the Sept. 2 issue of The Vista signed by Crawley, Beckman and Shanna Williams, SGA senator, denounced Harris efforts to bypass the continuum committee and have senators sworn in so they could participate in a budget vote.

Harris supporters feel this is a way to damage Harris' reputation.

"Some people are just afraid of how much Harris can accomplish," said Jon Jarboe, SGA senator.

"There are those that seem to criticize my every move," Harris said, when asked if he agreed.

"It's a small minority that are critical of my policies; the vast majority approve," Harris said.

Crawley said the actions are not a part of a small rebellion. They have nothing to gain by impeaching Harris, she said.

"There are a lot of things that Ben does that we disagree with," Williams said.

The group that he thinks is against him just knows the rules better then him, Williams said.

"We agree that things need to be changed," she said. "It's not that we dislike him, its that we disagree with how he's going about it."

Writer appreciates trust, truth by SGA members

By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer

I am a staff writer with The Vista. I cover the Student Government Association (SGA) and their meetings.

I try to write to the best interest of the students— always.

On Wednesday, an attempt was made to have me removed from a meeting by way of executive session.

After overhearing an SGA member (unidentified for his protection) ask why I was at the meeting, I feel this was a maneuver directed to me specifically.

The meeting dealt with issues that may have warranted an executive session, as per the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act, although a case for the other side does exist.

The article on the meeting is located in this issue, written as unbiased and as accurate as I could write it.

Often, the government does not want the press to know what it is doing. Sometimes things make them look bad. Sometimes what they do is wrong.

The law allows information regarding government to be public. That is how the people learn what their govemment is doing. That is why we, as the press, are labeled the "watchdogs of the government" Often the press steps over the boundaries. Making public things that are best left alone or blowing things out of proportion are examples.

When the vote to call an executive session occurred, several "nays" and several "ayes" were heard. On a split decision, those opposed were to rise. The number opposed was greater.

It is good, as a reporter, to know that in our student government, there are those that are not afraid to let the students they represent know what happens behind closed doors.

In a world where faith in the media often runs parallel with faith in the government, I am glad that some people still believe in the First Amendment and the right of the people to know.

I commend those who stood up on that Wednesday in opposition. I commend those that read this paper, knowing we try to print the truth.

Thank you for your trust.

Campus ideals and reality don't jive, says UCO coordinating counselor

India students to feature native musician in concert The India Student Association will present a concert featuring 3,000 year-old traditional Indian music at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 30, in the Music Building Room 101.

T. V. Sankaranarayanan will sing traditional India music, while accompanied by T. K. V. Ramanujacharyulu on the violin and B. Harikumar on the Mridangam, the native drum.

"He is the leading musician in India," said Dr. S. Narasinga Rao, sponsor of the India Student Association.

"He is giving a concert every day. About 1,000 people showed up for his concert in New York, and they wanted a second concert," said Rao. Rao said this is the first concert of this kind, held on campus.

Staff Writer With Alcohol Awareness Week going on through Friday, some interesting facts about students' drinking habits point out the fallacies in campus opinions about drinking.

Peer pressure to drink may lead some to imbibe, but the popular image of campus drinking is not necessarily accurate.

"Freshmen seem to believe everyone on campus is drinking.

That's just not true, and we have

the stilts to back that up," said Jan Chapel, coordinator of counseling for UCO. A national survey, conducted by the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, has shown that freshmen binge drink at least three times a week. The survey also shows that alcohol consumption falls off each year a student is in school.

"Random Acts of Kindness" is the theme for the week of awareness activities scheduled

by COSAFE.

"We want students to come out and have fun with us. I want them to see how good it feels to be good to themselves and others without using some kind of alcohol or drug," said Chapel.

Chapel believes students need to be made aware of their perceptions of drinking alcohol and how they can feel better about themselves.

"There are other ways to have a good time (than drinking alcohol). Parties and friends do not need to include alcohol," said Chapel.

Biology club enjoys membership growth, new activities

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer The Biology Club's newly elected president said he wants the club to become more member service oriented.

"We are trying to do a little more for the members than we've done in the past by offering them more services," said Paul McQueen, a senior bio-education major at UCO and bio club president.

Club members will receive more information about internships, job opportunities, scholarships and general happenings in the field of biology, said McQueen.

"We are trying to turn out some sort of packet on that, it is our big project for the year," said McQueen.

Students pay a $5 fee going toward membership dues for the Oklahoma Academy of Sciences (OAS), an academic group made up of biology professors from across the state.

"They get together each semester and present papers.

Most of the time it's real relaxed and laid back," said McQueen.

Previously, the club did not

charge fees for membership, though some bio club members went on to join the OAS on their own, said McQueen.

"With the memberships, they get a yearly journal and a news letter every other month," said McQueen.

Many club events are planned for the fall and spring semesters.

Upcoming events include guest speakers from the biology field, a camping trip to Cedar Lake Oct. 15 -16, field trips to the zoo and upcoming OAS meetings, and another teachers' appreciation meeting at the end of the academic year, said McQueen.

The club is planning a "volunteer work day" Oct. 8 at the Tall Grass Prairie reserve in Osage County, OK. "Its a private reserve of tallgrass prairie, and they're taking student volunteers to work at trail building, fixing fences and other stuff. It's just real laid back again," said McQueen.

McQueen reported a "real
