HAITI UCO faculty and guest speakers present their expert opinions on the invasion of Haiti.

Impeachment charges brought against Student Body President Ben Harris failed in Monday's Student Government Association (SGA) meeting by a senate vote of 24-15. Adam Harwood, SGA continuum committee chair, motioned for the impeachment based on Harris' actions in an informal meeting Sept. 28. The informal meeting was called to investigate allegations that Harris discriminated against Charley Harjo, a senate applicant, based on his sexual preference. A detailed story of the Ben Harris meeting is available on the front page of Tuesday's The Vista, Harris admitted to accessing Charley Harjo's academic records through the computer terminals located in the Administration Building. Because Harjo's social security number was on the senate application and the information was easily accessible in the Administration Building, Harris said he didn't think it was wrong. He said he thought it was implied consent. Harwood said he didn't think it was. "Charley Harjo did not grant written permission for this information and President Harris' act was in direct viola-

tion of the privacy act," Harwood said in the meeting. The motion failed, however. It failed because the majority of the senators didn't understand the term impeachment, Harwood said. "Even though it was explained, I think their understanding was 'that if I vote no, then I'm voting against Ben or I'm trying to kick him out.' And that's not the case," Harwood said. A call to impeachment is only a call to a trial to determine the punishment for a wrongdoing, Harwood said. Other reasons the senators voted against the motion could be because their vote was recorded and may be used for future discrimination or because they didn't feel that the charge was serious enough for impeachment, Harwood said. Harris is happy the senate chose as they did no matter the reasons, he said. "My stomach was in knots just because of the charge," he said. Because the charges were not warranted and the senate is ready to move on is why Harris said he thinks the motion failed. "I think they're ready to quit the personal bickering. I think they're ready to see some accomplishments out of this body rather than just arguing," Harris said.

Are 'graveyard shifts' feasible night-school college alternatives?

he world doesn't stop at night, and neither do the lives of college students. This may be the premise behind Oklahoma City Community College's (OCCC) decision to start running classes on a 24-hour schedule. If so, it is a wonderful and inventive idea, allowing students greater flexibility in scheduling their classes. This scheduling will allow working people to become full-time students. It will allow students to take more classes with less risk of scheduling conflicts. Other beneficiaries are those who are nocturnally inclined and who attend other colleges. However, some problems become evident, how will they get enough students in to fill up the school for the 24-hour schedule, or faculty, or staff? The OCCC information office has been receiving several calls from students excited about the idea of a 24-hour schedule, said an operator at the information office. Still, no matter what happens to the 24-hour schedule at OCCC, the idea is bound to spread. After all, it does no harm. The major problems stem from the ability of a college to make it economically feasible. But with supermarkets, cash machines, fast food franchises and countless other businesses expanding their schedule to accommodate society's diverse schedules, it should not take too much of an effort on the part of a university to make the same transition. On the whole advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but in the early stages the disadvantages will be far more prominent. It will be hard to find professors willing to teach at unorthodox hours, and when the professors are found, more than likely their credentials will not have to meet the same standards as those who teach during the regular school hours. The requirements for being a professor during the twilight hours will more than likely be relaxed in order to allow those willing to teach at odd hours to do so. It may even be that the supposed quality gap between evening classes and the classes held during the day will widen. One very important advantage to universities opening themselves up for 24-hours is the inspirational OK that this will deliver to the rest of society that is holding back. Think of the possibilities. Business can only benefit from available 24-hour communications. After all, if someone goes to school during the dark, cooler hours for four years, they would more than likely be able to perform the nighttime connections of businesses across the sphere. When businesses become infiltrated by these nocturnal graduates, they will be able to react instantaneously as they could be staffed at all times of the day. So though the early stages of a 24-hour schedule may display disparaging trends, one must be aware of the fact that these trends won't last in a world that is evolving a 24-hour schedule of its own. an

Opinion expressed by ex-editor of RCC was both amused and upset after reading the letter to the editor from Josh D. O'Brien in the Sept. 22 issue of The Vista. O'Brien stated that "many" of my colleagues from last year had graduated. The truth is only one staff member of The Journal graduated last year. O'Brien also stated, "Besides Mr. Wilcox, only one other student had worked on the paper last year. She later withdrew from school for personal reasons." This is true, but O'Brien left out

the fact that she did not withdraw from school until one week after the paper had been shut down. Most of the students that were on the staff of The Journal did not return as staff members because the college president removed the qualified adviser we had and replaced her with O'Brien. One last comment. O'Brien and Larry Devane, RCC president, can both write or say what ever they want, they are entitled to their opinions. But because of both of these men, the students

at RCC no longer have a student newspaper to express their opinions or concerns. I tape recorded my first class period with O'Brien and his message comes through loud and clear on that tape. I also have Devane on tape stating seven times, that he would rather we did not run a particular story. The story ran, the adviser was removed, and The Journal is history. —Brent L. Wilcox Former editor of The Journal, Redlands Community College

SGA thanked for devotion, leadership

am writing this letter to express my thanks to Ben Harris, president of the Student Government Association. When I read the article in Thursday's edition of The Vista, I was encouraged by his commitment to student concerns and by his willingness to give more money back to more students. It is refreshing to see

someone in leadership, whose depth of devotion to the students extends far beyond the prestige of a title, or the need for selfacclamation. I wish that all the members of the SGA had the courage to lead by being committed, bold and fair, but some choose to take the easy road, to put off the tough decisions and to sacrifice what is right on the

altar of procedural correctness. My point is that real leadership is about more than making procedural motions and having a title in front of your name. It is about making a commitment and having a vision. —Molly Thies UCO Student

Pet restrictions vague, student says

pproximately six months ago, I applied or marriage housing, gave them a $15 application fee and started to wait my time. One month ago, I was called by the housing department and told to move into the student apartments. I gave them $600, which was $300 for rent, $300 for deposit. Anyway, I couldn't go there to sign the contract, so I sent my wife to pick up the key. She signed the contract and got the key. When she got home, she said they don't allow pets. When we applied for an apartment, we weren't told anything about pets. Ranita, who works in the office, didn't say anything. My wife got the key on Friday, but after she told me

(about the pet rule), we didn't move in. I went to the office to talk to them about why we haven't been told about this situation before. They just smiled and said, `sorry, we can't allow pets. Everything is fine, they might have forgotten and I didn't ask also.' (I said) 'OK, I am not moving in, please give me my money back.' They said `no. First, you kept the key two days, so you can get only $570.' I said 'but I didn t move in.' They said, `sorry.' I said, 'fine, give me my money. They said, 'you have to wait between one to two weeks.' I left the housing office. It is a month already. I couldn't pay my rent. I apologized to my apartment manager—there

was some things that needed fixing, I couldn't ask my apartment manager. You can say it is possible, but whenever you make some fault or mistake, they punish you. You pay 10, 20 dollars for each mistake. Where is the justice? Who is going to take care of our problem? Why are they always right? I can say many things to housing. Helping doesn't mean always smiling. You have to tell the students their rights with their service. Without knowledge, smiling doesn't help a lot. Thank you for taking the time to address my problem. —S. Gokhan Kurt UCO Student

Today is last chance to enter for $1,250 in scholarships & UCO's 103rd birthday By Julie Dye Staff Writer

▪

Today is the last opportunity for students to sign up for two scholarships worth $1,250 in cash. The scholarships will be awarded in honor of UCO's 103rd birthday. Students from the President's Club will man registration tables in the University Center until 12:30 p.m. today. Susan Thompson, director of student activities, said as soon as the last person has registered, 103 names will be drawn by President Nigh or a representative from his office.

Those 103 students, representing 103 years of the university's existence, will receive $20 gift certificates from the campus book store. On Oct. 13, students should gather at 12:35 p.m. at the bell located west of Old North, Thompson said. There, one name will be drawn from the 103 to receive a $750 scholarship. That student will also ring the bell that started classes 103 years ago. Another drawing for a $500 cash award will be held for all students who registered, Thompson said.

Money for each of the cash prizes comes from student activity fees. The Edmond Chamber of Commerce also donated prizes, which will be given away at the same time. She said students must be present during the drawing to win prizes. OD

Blocked walkways. Broken electric doors. Malfunctioning elevators. No matter how efficient a university appears to be, there may always be problems for the disabled. It's a fact of life. A couple of different remedies can be taken for these problems, said Rick Dimit, equity officer at UCO. "If you're talking about a student having problems getting to class, like the second floor of the Business Building, you might want to check with the dean of the college," said Dimit. Dimit said more serious problems that cannot be taken care of quickly, such as a misconstrued curb cut, should be reported directly to him. Other outlets for accessibility problems are Greg Tunnell in Parking Services or Don Powers at the Physical Plant. Dimit encouraged students to avoid as much red tape as possible: "They can come to me, but they don't have to." Wayne Caldwell, vice president of Horizons Unlimited, an on-campus organization for disabled students, suggested a committee be formed to report disability trouble spots. If anyone is interested in being part of the committee, said Caldwell, they can call him at 447-0631. For any other problems, contact Dimit in the equity office at 341-2980, Ext. 2665.

By bringing the matter before the senate, Harwood said he has done all he can do and intends to not seek further action.

UCO honors 3 at luncheon for Ambassador Program By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer The first year of the UCO Career Development and Placement Services (CDPS) Ambassador Program ended Friday with a luncheon at the Red Bud Room in the University Center honoring Ambassadors DeCarla Jenkins, Kristine Rogers and Jaime Nichols. The Ambassador Program was started by career counselor Stephanie Green last year. The ambassadors work for a year on a volunteer basis within the CDPS offices. The volunteers must be a junior or senior and attend an ambassador orientation. Their duties include: attending a job search help

seminar, acting as an ambassador or host for a CDPS event and identifying a company, agency or school and conducting an informational interview with them. "These ladies went above and beyond, which is a quality employers are looking for," said Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of CDPS at UCO. "I found another university that was doing something similar and I thought that this would be a good way to market our office," said Green. "They acted as a liaison to our office and the student body." "We are a small office with a large student body," said Gage. "We rely heavily on volunteers." CDPS is currently going through applications for new ambassadors.

Earthquake rocks northern Japan TOKYO (AP) — A strong undersea earthquake jolted northern Japan tonight, shaking buildings as far away as Tokyo. Warnings for tidal waves were issued for parts of Hokkaido, the country's northernmost main island. The quake lasted more than a minute. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The Central Meteorological Agency said the earthquake was centered 13 miles beneath the floor of the Pacific Ocean, about 125 miles east of Nemuro on Hokkaido and 650 miles north of Tokyo. The agency estimated the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.9. An earthquake of magnitude 7 is capable of widespread, heavy damage. The agency issued warnings for tsunami, or tidal waves, for eastern Hokkaido. Residents of low-lying areas near the coast were urged to flee to higher ground.

Russians attempt endurance record MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian rocket blasted off this morning for the Mir space station, carrying a three-member crew that includes a German scientist and a Russian engineer who will try to set an endurance record for women in space. The Soyuz TM-20 rocket took off from the Baikonur space center in northern Kazakhstan, the Itar-TASS news agency said. Aboard the Mir, Ulf Merbold of the European Space Agency is to carry out more than 20 experiments. He is to return to Earth on Nov. 3 with Yuri Malenchenko of Russia and Talgat Musabayev of Kazakhstan. Engineer Yelena Kondakova plans to stay in space for nearly six months, a record for women. The ITAR-Tass news agency quoted her as saying Monday before the launch that she wanted to prove that "a woman can do as much as a man." The rocket was commanded by Alexander Viktorenko. Cosmonaut Valery Polyakov plans to stay on the orbital station until March 26 with Viktorenko and Kondakova to set a world record of 429 days in space, Viktor Blagov, director of the flight control center, told the Interfax news agency.

Navajo reservation links to Internet CROWNPOINT, N.M. (AP) — The Navajo Nation's entrance to the Information Superhighway could start a trend among other Indian communities, a Los Alamos National Laboratory spokeswoman says. Representatives from state and tribal governments announced Thursday the first Indian effort to hook up to Internet. The project, centered at Crownpoint Institute of Technology, eventually will link facilities across the Navajo reservation in New Mexico and Arizona. Other Indian communities may not be far behind. "Already, the Eight Northern Pueblos are saying, 'Hey, we need help, too,"' said Los Alamos lab spokeswoman Kathy Higgins. "I expect we might get involved there, too." Funds are expected from a variety of federal, state and local sources, including LANL.

OKLAHOMA CITY— The Oklahoma Corporation Commission has approved the upgrade of a Santa Fe Railway crossing on U.S. Highways 64 and 412 east of Enid. The commission on Monday approved the $307,000 project, with 90 percent of the funding coming from federal money. State funds will be used for $21,180 of the project and railroad funds for $9,520, the commission said. Santa Fe will have about a year to finish putting in flashing signals and crossing gates. The project is the third approved for Santa Fe since July. In addition to gates and flashing signals, the project includes replacing the timber crossing surface with a concrete surface. BIXBY— A Bixby man grabbed honors for growing the biggest watermelon grown in 1994. Melvin Conrad's melon weighed in a 219 pounds at Republic, Mo., on Sunday. Weigh-offs were held simultaneously at 20 sites. In Hope, Ark., former world champion watermelon grower Ivan Bright shared the honors with his son, Lloyd, of Arkadelphia. They had a 149pound melon. They were shooting for a 300-pound melon. Bright grew the world champion melon in 1985. HENRYETTA— When Anchor Glass workers have a cold or injure themselves on the job, a trip to the doctor is just across the plant. Anchor's Henryetta facility is among a growing number of workplaces trying to improve health conditions and save money by installing on-site clinics for their workers. "It has been working out really well," said plant worker Don Gaither. "The workers are pleased to have something like this here to make our lives a little easier." For the workers, it means less time off work and fewer hassles getting to see a doctor or to get a prescription. For the company, it is resulting in savings. The facility is one of six Anchor has installed in U.S. plants. In the first two years since Anchor installed its first on-site medical facility, workers compensation costs have been reduced significant-

ly at those sites, the company said. OKLAHOMA CITY — The rejection of a $595.6 million bond issue has left the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority again searching for funds to repair and expand state turnpikes. The legislative Bond Oversight Commission killed the bond issue proposal Monday in a 4-2 vote. "I'm very disappointed about what has happened today," said authority chairman Jim Orbison, adding that he didn't know when the group might submit another funding proposal. "But we do not have the money to do the rehabilitation work that needs to be done very badly" on the Will Rogers and Turner turnpikes, he said. The proposal's defeat followed the counsel of an independent bond adviser who said poor market conditions and negative publicity involving former bond sales could hurt the proposed issue. The FBI and Securities Exchange Commission are now investigating bond sales that originated in the late 1980s. OTTAWA— An Oklahoma tribe has remade what some considered to be a stereotype into a mascot that will return to home games after a 23year absence. Giego was banned by the school in 1971 because students felt the logo presented a onedimensional image of Indian culture. "He ran around with a hatchet in the yearbook, in the school newspaper, in a very stereotypical way," said Marty Smith, director of public relations. Now Giego will emerge for Ottawa's homecoming game Oct. 22 as a student cheerleader dressed in an authentic creation by members of the Ottawa tribe of Quapaw, Okla. "We want to reinvest in our Native American heritage and hold it up as a good example, rather than some schools that might make fun of it," said DeDe Atkinson, adviser to the school's Native American Student Association. A new Giego logo is scheduled to appear at Ottawa's homecoming this year, perhaps based on drawings by members of the Native American Student Association, Atkinson said.

Panda cub dies two days after birth BEIJING (AP) — One of giant panda Lele's twin cubs born last week at the Beijing Zoo has died, the official China Daily newspaper reported today. Pandas usually are capable of feeding only one cub when they give birth to twins, zoo officials were quoted as saying. Lele abandoned one of the cubs, and it died Sept. 27, two days after birth, despite zoo keepers' efforts to save it, the newspaper reported. The surviving cub will stay in special care for three months until it is strong enough to withstand diseases, the newspaper said. It did not say how it was faring. Lele's twins were conceived naturally, which is rare among captive pandas. Most are bred through artificial insemination. Pandas are native only to China, and only about 1,000 still exist in the wild. They face extinction because of encroaching human habitation, poaching and dwindling food supplies.

UCO professor helps spring 'Baby Doc' from throne By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

•

In the darkness of a February night in 1986, an airplane idled as a mob of armed Haitians crowded the fence around the runway. On board, the crew became nervous. There was no sight of their

expected passenger. Looking for answers, the crew called Washington. The voice in Washington belonged to then Lt. Gen. Richard Burpee, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The passenger was to be Jean Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, the Haitian dictator at that time. Having been ousted, he had arranged to fly to Paris aboard an Air Force C-141. Burpee, now vice president of development and community affairs at UCO, assisted in the removal of Duvalier. To illustrate the frustrations of exiling a dictator, Burpee shared his experience during the Haiti forum at UCO Sept. 30. Plans had been made to pick up Duvalier at 9 p.m. Feb. 7. "The first problem was there were no runway lights after dark," said Burpee. Before the plane could land, someone had to go turn on the lights. After the C-141 landed on schedule and waited for close to an hour, the crowd began to appear, said Burpee.

Burpee telephoned the ambassador and told him the plane was leaving at 11 p.m., with or without Duvalier. "If he's not on board, I'm thinking the people are going to rise up against him and wipe him out anyway." Duvalier was in his palace, supposedly taping a farewell speech to his people. "He was really having a farewell party," said Burpee. "We told him to cut the party short, the plane's leaving." After finally arriving at the airport, Duvalier insisted that his armed guards board the plane with him. However, Air Force rules prohibit that. "I told the crew to put the guns in one corner and then put the guards on the plane and get `Baby Doc' to Paris." As the plane took off, the crew called back. Because the plane had been idling so long, it didn't have enough fuel to reach Paris. Burpee told them to refuel at the U.S. Naval Base in the Dominican Republic. Upon landing, the crew hit yet another snag. The commander of the base wanted them to go through U.S. Customs.

in southern France and an airfield they'd never heard of. They didn't have any letdown facilities and the weather was bad." After a conference at the command post in Washington, it was decided the runway was long enough for the airplane. "But we had to find a way to let it down out of the clouds without wiping out the people on board," said Burpee. The procedure was devised at the command post and relayed to the crew. "We drew it up based on our experience flying airplanes." The C-141 landed safely and off loaded Duvalier. "And I don't know where `Baby Doc' is today," said Burpee.

"I couldn't believe it," said Burpee. "After all we'd been through—mind you, we've been up for two days making these plans. I said 'no.'" Burpee called the Navy admiral and got him to excuse the plane from customs. The plane was isolated on the runway and refueled. "Normally you don't do that with people on board, but we said that's what it's going to be this time. We had to keep control of our passengers." After its gas tanks were filled, the C-141 took off again. "I thought we finally got `Baby Doc' and he's on his way and we don't have to worry about that anymore," said Burpee. But he got another phone call. Duvalier had decided he didn't want to go to Paris after all. "The crew said he had a place

Professionals have it out on Haiti Experts discuss problems of Caribbean country during UCO forum By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

he use of armed forces backs up our rhetoric about how great democracy is and how we're willing to help establish it," said William Olson. But, "the troops must know their objectives," said retired Lt. Gen. Richard Burpee. Those were just two of the opinions expressed at the Haiti forum Sept. 30 at UCO. The forum, witnessed by about 40 people in the Pegasus Theater, featured Dr. James Baker, Burpee, Col. Siegfried Heit, Greg Biggs and Olson. Baker, chairperson of the history and geography department at UCO, began the forum with a brief history of Haiti.

not leave behind a democracy," said Baker. "We left behind an American-trained military establishment that a string of dictators would use to come to power."

"Papa Doc" takes over In 1957, Francois "Papa Doc" Duvalier seized command and held onto it for 14 years. "He used tactics that were very similar to Adolf Hitler's Gestapo," Baker said. Duvalier used the Tontons Macoutes, a group of armed attaches, as well as the military to stay in power. All the while he intimidated political opponents. Baker noted the U.S. supported Duvalier because he was "proAmerican and anti-communist" despite the lack of a communist threat. "His death in 1971 began the turmoil we are witnessing today," said Baker. "I use this history to show you that the crisis in Haiti today has deep roots and was not created overnight by Bill and Hillary. It goes farther back."

consider that it really isn't such a bad principle," said Baker. Olson, an assistant professor of political science at UCO, followed with some personal observations on the crisis in Haiti, centering on the lack of U.S. interests in Haiti. The U.S. could justify intervening in Nicaragua and the Gulf War, said Olson. "I think it's more difficult for us in Haiti because we're down there for one of the reasons we always said we'd intervene in countries. "We're actually down there to ensure the beginning of a new democracy. That's frightening and strange," Olson said.

Communistic threats lacking

Olson also pointed to the lack of a communist threat. "We don't have the Soviets.

Game of streaks between Bronchos and ASU By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

Schoof makes name for herself in no time at all Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

Two years is a long time in the life of a hamster and coincidentally it's long enough for Angie

Schoof to make a name for herself on the UCO volleyball court. Just one month before Head Coach Mark Herrin called the first practice of the 1993 season, Schoof signed on to become a Lady Broncho. The senior middle blocker from

Oak, Neb. was a three sport letter winner at Deshler High School before starting for Cloud County Community College in Kansas. At CCCC, she made first-team All-Region as a sophomore and was named the team's most valuable player. "She was a great junior college player and was highly recruited," said Herrin. "We knew that she was very talented and we wanted her here." In her first season as a Lady Broncho, Schoof played in all 37 matches missing only one game and starting all season long. Schoof has great passing and serving skills but her greatest strengths are her physical ability to play the game and her great jumping, said Herrin. Her efforts for the 1993 season landed her a place in the record books, both school and conference. Schoof's 112 total blocks ranked second on the team for the season

but also etched her name in the UCO single-season record book at fifth place. Her blocking ability put her in a tie for eighth in the Lone Star Conference with a 0.9 blocks per game average. Third place on the team in kills earned her sixth place in the LSC with 307 and a .288 average and only 96 errors in 732 attack attempts. "I want to hit .350 and improve my passing skills," said Schoof about her goals for this season. Making honorable mention AllLSC last year was not enough for Schoof, "I want to see us go to nationals. It might seem big but I think we're capable," she said. This season Schoof has played in all 18 matches without missing a game. "She has improved, she's now comfortable with the system," Herrin said. "She's more comfortable with being here." Comfortable might not be the

word to describe her 142 kills and .337 attack percentage so far this season—dominating might be better. "She has contributed a lot. She's dedicated—the hardest worker, a great example to the kids," remarked Herrin. As a food management-nutrition major, she doesn't see herself playing in the future, but if the opportunity comes up, "I would jump on it," said Schoof.

To be considered, students must be active in at least three campus organizations, have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and have earned at least 20 credit hours, Thompson said. Students who meet the criteria should complete an application, which can be obtained at the student activities office in the University Center. Students must also submit an official UCO transcript and three letters of recommendation. Application deadline is Nov. 1. Thompson said currently 70 students serve on the President's Leadership Council, and there were only three ways to be appointed to the scholarship

council. "The first two are offered to incoming freshmen only," she said. "This is the only one set up for continuing UCO students." A Scholarship Selection Committee will review all applications, she said, and top candidates will be referred to the Interviewing Committee. These students will be considered for the award. Thompson said the commit-

tees are made up of approximately 12 students and faculty members. "We also try to get community leaders, such as members of the Chamber of Commerce or city government leaders, and in some cases UCO alumni, to serve."

`Bloodhounds' seeking new donors for October blood drive at UCO By Matt Williamson Staff Writer

Every three seconds someone needs blood. The UCO Bloodhounds, an organization of students, faculty and staff, are holding the fourth blood drive of the year. Tables will be set up in the Ballroom of the University Center for the donations.

The blood drive will be held from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 11, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 12. "Blood is vital, and Oklahoma is very fortunate that we do not have to import from other states," said Kelly Smith, faculty sponsor for the Bloodhounds. "Nationally, only five percent of the population gives blood. Here in Oklahoma between 11 and 12 percent are donors. That shows the spirit of the state,"

said Sarah Frank, Oklahoma Blood Institute representative to the Bloodhounds. Through January, April and July, 275 students volunteered and 229 gave blood. The goal for this blood drive is 125 to 150 donors, said a spokesman of the Oklahoma Blood Institute. Donors for this blood drive will receive T-shirts and a traveling trophy will be won by a UCO organization.

Soccer team wins first game of new season By Mike Erwin Staff Writer The UCO soccer club's men's team tied and the women won their first game of the season last week in the indoor league at Chico's Soccer Villa. The UCO men came from behind to tie Classic 2-2, Oct. 2. After falling behind 2-0 with ten minutes remaining in the first half, UCO's Hosteen Walsh scored to make it 2-1. The goal was Walsh's fifth of the season. Minutes later, Mitch Moncho scored the equalizer, his first of the season. In the second half, defender Ryan Trenary was moved to forward. "He helped our offense dominate in the second half. His speed was very helpful to us, even though we didn't score," said Jalal Daneshfar, club sponsor. Brian Colley played well in goal for the Bronchos, said Daneshfar. "He turned away a lot of shots and made some saves that kept us in the game." The UCO men, now 2-2-1, play the Mighty Mealworms at 8 p.m. Oct. 9. The women's team beat the Innhilators 7-1, Sept. 29 for their first win. The offense was led by Krista Henderson, who scored four goals for UCO, now 1-3-1 on the season. The next indoor match for the UCO women will be against the Cutups at 8 p.m. Oct. 6. Saturday, the women's team will travel to McPherson, Kan. to play the Central Junior College varsity team in an outdoor game. 40

THE VISTA

FOLLOWUP continued from front page of RCC journalism instructor Kelly Rupp from her post as adviser and the ultimate shut-down of The Journal. Rupp was relieved of most of her journalism teaching duties in August, Wilcox states in his letter, and informed by college administrators that they needed her to teach developmental English mini-courses instead. Rupp refused to comment to The Vista. Wilcox states in his letter to the ACLU that adjunct professor Josh O'Brien, who took over Rupp's classes, told Rupp during a lunch in August that he was "promised the opportunity to teach journalism courses at the college by Ray Dyer, owner of the El Reno Tribune, when he interviewed for the job at the Tribune." The letter also states that O'Brien had come to the college to introduce himself to RCC President Larry Devane as the new beat reporter for the Tribune, and was interviewed and hired for a teaching position the same day. O'Brien told Rupp "that he knew nothing about the Macintosh computers used by The Journal, darkroom procedure, or paste-up," Wilcox said. Wilcox said he resigned his position as editor of The Journal because he did not want to teach the new professor the procedures. Two weeks after the fall semester began, The Journal was shut down. The Other Side of the Coin

O'Brien said he was never promised a teaching opportunity, but was told the possibility existed that he find an adjunct position at the college when he moved to El Reno. "Ray Dyer doesn't work at Redlands and can't make promises like that," O'Brien said. "That's absurd." O'Brien also said Wilcox is disgruntled because Rupp was replaced, and has questioned the integrity of all involved as a personal vendetta. "He's questioned my character and my qualifications. I don't see anyone questioning what he is doing. "Brent and I met once in a classroom, where I told him I wanted him to be editor. He was the most qualified...I tried to talk him out of leaving, and went out of my way to find work study money so he would stay. "But, there were many things said that he has left out. Brent likes to write letters, but he doesn't like to tell the truth," said O'Brien. "Brent wasn't even there. I took Ms. Rupp to lunch to introduce myself and make sure there were no hard feelings." O'Brien denied telling the class he did not know the computer system or newsroom procedures, but told them they would be learning some aspects together. "I told Brent I was not going to be involved in the day-to-day operations of the paper-that was fnr the ctnriente !Pc not my fault

last year's adviser got replaced." Lack of Students Means Loss of The Journal

That same week, Rupp was denied tenure. Rupp was told "she had not submitted enough paperwork to 'sell herself,'" Wilcox states. But, another professor applying for tenure was contacted and asked to provide more data to the tenure board. While Rupp was in her tenure meeting, Wilcox states, the students in the newspaper class were pulled from the classroom, told it was canceled and refunded their tuition. O'Brien said only five students signed up for the class, that puts out The Journal. "Of those five, only two had experience from the previous semester. Then Brent started making his judgments and dropped," O'Brien said. "The other experienced person left the college for personal reasons. So there we were, with three students, two of whom had never even written a news story. "How many colleges do you know of that would let a class make with three students?" Wilcox said he met with administrators, and they decided the course-and The Journal-would have to be deleted for the fall semester. "I didn't want a paper run by staff members. That's why I recommended it be canceled," O'Brien said. Juggling the Law

Wilcox claims in his letter that the situation began last year when administrators attempted to violate state law by refusing to release information about fees paid with public funds. "On Nov. 2, 1993, Laura Headrick, a reporter for the RCC Journal, left a written request on the desk of Laura Gruntmier, RCC Student Activities Director, asking how much money the college paid from the student activities account for a juggler and a magician who were hired to provide lunch time entertainment at the college," the letter states. Gruntmier refused to release the data, saying a clause in the entertainer's contract prohibited publication of the fee. Wilcox then met with Devane, Gruntmier, Rupp and a host of college administrators to dispute the legality of the contract. "I explained to Dr. Devane that the contract was in violation of state law, ...subject to Freedom of Information laws," states Wilcox in his letter. The next day, the information was released, Wilcox states, after the college "obtained written permission for publication from Kramer Entertainment." Several incidents involving Gruntmier and Rupp are detailed in Wilcox's letter. In July, a student overheard Gruntmier and another college employee discussing Rupp's removal from the newspaper, before Rupp was

notified, Wilcox said. The student decided to not enroll in the class, and Wilcox said many students were discouraged from enrolling in the newspaper class. A Man With a Past? Wilcox said he contacted

in English classes to teach, Wilcox said. Another source told Wilcox that Devane nearly caused Highlands Community College to go into bankruptcy and was asked to resign. After repeated attempts, Devane could not be reached by The Vista.

Highlands Community College in Highlands, Kansas, where Devane last served as president, and requested the minutes to board meetings. By calling some of the people named in the minutes, Wilcox said, he found that Devane removed a faculty member from an adviser position on the campus newspaper after a controversial story was run. The instructor was also removed from journalism classes, and placed

Wilcox said he contacted the ACLU to see if they would legally challenge an RCC policy. "I want to publish an underground student newspaper, but according to the student code of conduct, `No person shall participate in the publication, circulation, or aid in circulation of anonymous or unauthorized publications. "'Authority must be granted by

Calling in the ACLU

the president of the college or the vice president of student services.' I believe that constitutes prior restraint," Wilcox said. "There are several other students who want another newspaper," he said. "The student conduct code is against the First Amendment." Michael Camfield of the Oklahoma affiliation of the ACLU said the office was small and short of funds to handle the 2,500 requests for assistance a year they receive. "We only take about one percent of the cases after we wade through them and forward the more promising complaints." Camfield said he would not comment on the merit of Wilcox's complaint.
