lcohol is arguably the number-one drug of choice on most college campuses in America. And when used in moderation its negative effects can be kept to a manageable level. According to a report published by the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, binge drinking is the number one substance abuse problem at colleges today. In a study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, "binge" drinking was defined for men as drinking five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks and for women as drinking four or more drinks in a row. "Frequent' binge drinking was defined as binge drinking three or more times in the past two weeks. The study showed that 44 percent of college students are binge drinkers. In addition, 73 percent of the men and 68 percent of the women said that getting drunk was an important reason for drinking. Residents of fraternities and sororities were four times as likely to be binge drinkers compared to other students, according to the Harvard study. Alcohol has been involved "in every instance" of date rape on campus, according to Virginia's Associate Dean of Students Sybil R. Todd. Ideally, the decision to drink responsibly has to begin on an individual basis with each person taking responsibility for his actions and decisions. If you must drink, drink responsibly and in moderation.

Game show appearance proves disappointing for UCO student By Dan Herron Student Writer or UCO student and contestant Cory Lindley, the Wheel of Fortune game show turned into the Wheel of Disappointment. After competing on the nationally syndicated Wheel of Fortune, Lindley returned from Los Angeles, last week with $1,100 in travel-related expenses, but without the $35,000 she hoped to win. The 22-year-old senior journalism major came in third place and won $600 during her game show taping, but said competing on the show was not a fun experience. "It was really nerve-racking, I thought it was going to be real fun and laid back, but it's not relaxed at all, you have to do everything a certain way and they make sure you're doing it that way," Lindley said. Although the game show lasts just 30 minutes, the preparation

for taping takes almost an entire day. Lindley arrived for taping at Sony Studios Sept. 22 at 9 a.m. She and 12 contestants, plus two alternates practiced the show for two hours, studied tax regulations, and played a 30: minute practice game. The actual taping of five shows began at 1:30 p.m. The first four shows are for Monday through Thursday airing and the three top winning contestants compete on the 5th show for Friday's airing. Lindley's husband and mother accompanied her to the taping but due to the show's stiff regulations, her family was unable to offer any moral support. "They couldn't talk, you weren't allowed to look at the audience or talk to the people that came with you, and whenever (you were) not playing the game, you had to turn around and face the back of the stage— that way no one could cheat,"

Lindley said. "If they saw you making eye contact with your guest, you could get kicked out—which made it even more nerve-racking." Although competing on the game show was a tense experience, Lindley and her family enjoyed sightseeing in Los Angeles. They visited Planet Hollywood, Universal Studios and Rodeo and Melrose drives. "I thought she did great," said husband, Allen Lindley. "She went there to have a good time. She had a lot of fun—it was a good experience—not many people can say they were on Wheel of Fortune," Lindley works as a human resources manager for Vision Quest Marketing Services,and plans to stay in Oklahoma City as a broadcast reporter after she graduates in May. Her appearance on the show is slated to air nationally on about 200 TV stations including KOCO-TV, Channel 5, on Oct. 20, at 6:30 p.m. 0:0

A list of complaints against candidate Stacy Weber was turned in to the Association of Women Students (AWS)by another candidate. The list cited several campaign rules that were broken. The rules say that a candidate can't campaign within 30 feet of the voting center. The main complaint against Weber was that a member of her sorority was too close to the polls when she shouted "Go Stacy Weber" and that was considered campaigning, she said. It was this incident more than the other infractions that caused AWS to take action, said Weber. Kari Scott, president of AWS,

said she wasn't "comfortable talking about it" and didn't want to comment. There have been rumors that Weber was disqualified, but this wasn't the case, said Weber.AWS told Weber she could participate in the election, but her privileges would be taken away, she said. If she won, she couldn't accept the scholarship or the crown and she wouldn't be able to have Sigma Kappa, her sorority, sponsor her, said Weber. "My sorority is the reason was out there. If I couldn't be out there to represent them, I didn't see any point in running," she said. Weber feels the punishment was a bit harsh because she was denied the chance to run and represent Sigma Kappa, she said. "The punishment needs to fit the crime," she said.

urrent and prospective UCO students will soon be able to work online to search for scholarship and financial aid information thanks to funding from the Student Infrastructure Technology Committee. Four new personal computers will be set up the first of November in the

Prospective Student Services/Scholarship Office in the University Center to allow students access to scholarship and financial aid information. Stacy McNeiland, director of the office, said the centralized location will help eliminate students running all over campus to find scholarship and financial aid information. "If another computer lab on campus is conducting class or that location is not

convenient, students are guaranteed a place in our office with little or no wait time," said McNeiland. The computers will allow students to conduct the following functions: 'Search for scholarships "Set up a scholarship mailbox •Print application requests 'Complete scholarship applications, surveys and

Games relieve stress, pass time for students on campus By Ryan Dannar

Staff Writer From Trivial Pursuit to Tiddlywinks, everyone has played their share of games. In college, however, torn between midterm tests and term papers, students often forget how stressrelieving—and fun—a game of cards or round of chess can be. There are many UCO students who haven't forgotten the simple pleasures of gaming. They can be seen flocked together in the Baptist Collegiate Ministry with cards in their hands or, on a sunny day, hunched over a chess board on the Murdaugh Hall patio. If you have the time and know how to play, they might let you join in. Here, then, are some of the more popular games played on campus: Cards: •$1.97 at Wal-Mart •For one or more players At under two bucks a pack, a common deck of cards offers a ton of playing options. Janay Moody and Suzanne Lillard, associate directors of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM), said card-

playing is a popular pastime among UCO students who hang out in the Baptist Student Union (BSU) fellowship hall between classes. Lillard said card-playing is like a tool the students use to get toyillow each other. "It's a whole lot easier to get to know someone through playing cards than by going up and saying, `Hey, what's your name?" she said. The students play Speed and a double-Solitaire race game called Nertz, but those aren't the most popular games, said Moody. "Spades is definitely the favorite game here," she said. "It has been the past several years." Spades is game that's played many different ways. It can be played by three or more opposing individuals or by opposing two-player teams. The dealer passes out the entire deck, and players bid on how many "tricks," or rounds of played cards, they think they can take. A trick is taken by the person who plays the highest card. The "trump" suit is spades. A spade will beat any card except a higher spade. Of course, this suit cannot be played right away. It must first be "broken," which is done when a player who does not have a card in the suit currently being played is forced to play a spade. Players score points by winning the number of tricks they bid for. If a player doesn't take as many as he bid,

he loses points. The first player or team to reach a certain number of points wins the game. Students at the BSU have to agree on how they'll play Spades, Moody said. "People come in and have played Spades different ways. You may play it differently every year, depending on what UCO sophomore Chris O'Conner racks the pool balls they decide. We before starting a game (Staff have no particular photo by Bryan Terry) rule book that they follow," she said. Jamie Hamilton, a UCO student who is a member of the BCM, said the best thing about a deck of cards is V See GAMES, Page 8

GAMES Continued from Page 7 that they're portable. "You can take them on trips—they go right in your pocket," she said. Problems occasionally arise when students at the BSU get caught up in a game and forget their obligations, Moody said. "Sometimes people get so into playing a game that they don't want to go to class. That's not what we want to happen. We have to make sure they don't play cards instead of going to class," she said.

In chess, two players each have sixteen pieces—a king, a queen, two bishops, two knights, two rooks, and eight pawns. The object is to use your pieces to trap, or "checkmate," your opponent's king while keeping your own king safe. The twist is that each of the six different kinds of chess pieces has its own rules for movement. The bishop, for example, can only m o v e diagonally, while the knight moves in an "Lshaped" path.

Jarrod Martin, a UCO junior who plays the game, said Axis and Allies is basically a more elaborate version of the classic Parker Brothers board game, Risk. In Axis and Allies, players take control of different countries' armies, which are represented on the ' by plastic tanks, planes, and ships, Martin said. During the game, players try to take over other countries to expand their territory and raise money to fortify their armies, he said. Battles are fought by rolling dice, and the game ends when one player has gained control of the entire board, said Martin. "It's fun because it gives you a sense of control," he said.

The "elementary set" of Axis and Allies comes with everything you need to play the game, said Martin. "You get boxes of plastic pieces for each of the big powers, an instruction manual, a set of six-sided dice, and a gameboard of the entire world," he said. Martin said he was introduced to the game by some friends during his freshman year at UCO. "We'd get back from work at 9:00 Friday night, go to a friend's house, and play until one or two in the morning," he said. Martin said he and his friends used to play every weekend, but now they just play "every once in awhile." "It's hard to find enough people who want to play," he said. Martin said playing in-depth games such as Axis and Allies can become addictive. "It's real easy to get caught up in," he said. "You'd much rather play a game than study."

Custodians uncertain about future employment By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer

As the fall deadline for the UCO custodial staff's termination by the university nears, the custodians have learned they may have the option of continuing to work on campus with the new independent contractor, but they're not happy about the terms being offered. Farrell Rosson, assistant director of facilities management, said the university has a low bid that will likely be taken, but at this time no contract has been awarded

for an independent contractor to take over the maintenance of buildings now under staff care. "The UCO custodial staff will be employed by the contractor for 90 days," said Rosson. "After 90 days, employment of the current UCO staff will be left strictly up to the contractor and the employee," he said. Annette Conley, a UCO staff custodian, is not happy with the arrangement. "Yeah, we can stay for $5 an hour," she

Areawide Aging Agency. This marks UCO's 10th year for supporting the United Way. "Through the United Way, we annually assist about 12,000 Edmond citizens and 350 UCO employees," May said. "I've asked for one person from within each department/work unit to serve as an ambassador," said May. "These people will provide information to their respective departments about the United Way, as well as collect the money and deliver it to our UCO campaign office." Contributor donations will be kept in confidence. "My hope is that once people understand what the United Way is all about, they'll let their hearts be their guide to giving." For further information about UCO United Way Campaign '97, contact May at ext. 3371. ita

said. Conley said she would be taking a pay cut of approximately $400 per month if she chose to work for the new contractor. "I can't afford that," Conley said. "This is already the lowest paying college anywhere." Margaret Williams, another staff custodian, said, "When we first found out about this we went to A.K. Rahman (director of auxiliary services) and he said nothing was definite yet." Conley added that, two weeks after that meeting, the custodian staff was put

under the direction of Facilities Management. "That was to make it easier to get rid of us," said Williams. Rahman disagreed. "Supervision of the custodial staff was changed to see if we could do a more efficient job," he said. "They tell us to keep on working as hard as before," Conley said. "But they're going to get rid of us." Neither woman intends to remain on campus after the_contractor takes over the custodial duties.

Three will be inducted into UCO Athletic Hall of Fame

O

ne of the finest in a long line of wrestling standouts, a former football star who went on to play in the NFL and a long-time coach and athletic director have been selected for induction into the University of Central Oklahoma Athletic Hall of Fame. Members of the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame class of 1997 are Terry Henry, a two-time NAIA national wrestling champion of the Bronchos in the mid-1970's; James Hooks, a star runningback from the early 1970s who still holds four school scoring records; and Charles Murdock, a former football letterman from the 1950s who later enjoyed a lengthy coaching and administrative career at UCO. Terry Henry won back-to -back NAIA natioanl titles in 1974 and '75 at 126 pounds for the

Bronchos shortly after UCO had re-instated the sport it has come to dominate. James Hooks was a four-year starter at running back from 1969-72, leading the Bronchos to a 33-72 record in that span. Murdock enjoyed a lengthy association with Central, beginning as a football player in 1954 and ending with his retirement as athletic director in 1986. That trio makes up the eighth class of inductees into the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame, bringing total membership to 25. Formal induction of the 1997 class of the UCO Athletic Hall of Fame will be at half-time of the UCO men's basketball game on Feb. 21, 1998 with East Central. -from UCO sports information

Oklahoma tuition rates among lowest in nation No education is cheap, but according to the Oldahoina State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE), a college education in Oklahoma is less expensive than in most other states. "Oklahoma is a low-tuition state," said OSRHE spokesperson Laura Callahan. "The Regents work with the legislature to set standards for tuition," she said. "It is the goal of the Regents and the Oklahoma legislature to keep tuition rates as low as possible." Currently, tuition at Oklahoma universities is the fourth lowest in the nation and is increasing at a much lower rate than elsewhere, according to a recent report by OSRHE. The general accounting office of OSRHE said that Oklahoma families spent 6.45 percent of their household income on tuition and fees at four-year state universities in 1995-96, the latest year for which data is available. That is the eleventh lowest in the nation for tuition as a percentage of median household income. From 1989-90 to 1995-96, Oklahoma tuition rates at four-

year universities increased an avetage of 4 percent per year, compared to a national average of 8.2 percent, said Callahan. She added that tuition at twoyear colleges increased an average of 3 percent per year, compared to 8 percent nationally. The Regents report also stated that tuition at Oklahoma universities increased at approximately the same rate as inflation over the past five years. Nationally, tuition increases exceeded the rate of inflation. Oklahoma is the only state in which the cost of tuition and room and board at a public fouryear university is below $5,000. Oklahoma students paid an average of $4,287 for tuition and room and board in 1995-96, while nationally the average was $7,013, said Callahan. While rates in Oklahoma may be lower than most other states, OSRHE recognizes that many students still need assistance. "The State Regents are sensitive to the financial pressure tuition places on some students," said Chancellor Hans

Brisch. "The Regents will continue to balance tuition with financial aid so that qualified students, regardless of their financial situation, may pursue their educational goals." Financial aid at Oklahoma colleges and universities outpaced tuition increases, according to the OSRHE report. Tuition rates rose 20 percent at Oklahoma two-year colleges and 24 percent at four-year colleges. Grants increased 47 percent, scholarships 62 percent, and student employment activities 16 percent. Callahan cited recent studies that showed students are willing to pay higher tuition rates, and said they may soon have to do just that. "The Regents are looking at a multi-year plan that would have students paying one-third of their tuition," she said. "Currently, Oklahoma students are only paying 25 or 26 percent and the taxpayers are paying the rest."

U Turn's director misses mark with stylistic approach -

By Ryan Dannar Staff Writer 7 -turn, Oliver Stone's new movie, is

darkly humorous film noir about what happens when desperation interferes with a person's ability to love or trust someone else. Bobby Cooper (Sean Penn) is a loner on his way to Las Vegas to pay off a debt to a ruthless group of hooligans affiliated with the Russian Mafia. When his car starts giving him trouble, he pulls off the highway into a service station in the small, sun-bleached town of Superior, Arizona. Superior is a town clinging desperately to the last dregs of its existence. It is a rickety, crumbling place perched at the foot of Apache Leap, a treacherous cliff where Apache warriors once leapt to their deaths rather than surrender to the U.S. Cavalry. The town's only mechanic, Darrell (Billy Bob Thornton, of Slingblade fame) is a stubborn, greasy rag of a man. He assures Cooper his car will take a few hours to fix at best. Cooper has no choice but to rely on him. Disgruntled and stranded in "Nowheresville," Cooper wanders into desolate downtown Superior, where his attention is caught by beautiful Grace

In true black-comedy style, one McKenna (Jennifer Lopez), a seductive unfortunate mishap follows another and a half-Indian woman haunted by her past. Cooper soon finds himself caught in a penniless Cooper soon realizes he will be murderous conflict between Grace and stuck in Superior longer than he had expected. her wealthy husband, Jake. With the Las Vegas Jake, played thugs starting to close in with over-the-top on him, Cooper's sleaziness by Nick Nolte, is desperation forces him to consider the offers made being driven to by Grace and Jake. distraction by With its grotesque Grace's mind blend of dark humor and games and ultraviolence, U-Turn unfaithfulness.

Both are whom she loathes presented as rapid-fire but is afraid to media collages. leave. This approach worked Grace and Jake each see in to great effect in Natural Born Killers.

While the offering him in return what he needs the film lacked a strong plot or any most–a way out of town and the money empathetic characters, it was enjoyable he needs to pay off his debt. on its visual and intellectual levels. U-Turn is not social satire. It is, at its Cooper is initially disgusted by both heart, a simple morality tale. It is driven offers.

UCO University Center fills two vital positions Roy Howe Guest Writer

T

he University Center at UCO has filled two positions vital to its function of providing out-ofclass services to UCO students, faculty, staff and the community. Stephanie Disheroon and Emily Trowbridge were recently hired as coordinator of catering and banquet services and director of programs and promotions, respectively. Disheroon's duties include implementing campus catering and banquet factions, University Center staff development and banquet marketing and sales. She holds a bachelor's degree in hospitality administration. Prior to UCO, Disheroon worked

as director of marketing and sales for a home and condominium agency in Arkansas. Trowbridge oversees most University Center student, public and private events. In addition, she supervises summer conferences at the center, some of which are booked five to seven years in advance. Trowbridge is staff sponsor for the University Center Student Activities Board and Residence Hall Association, as well. She holds a bachelor's degree in communications. Prior to UCO, Trowbridge worked for the University of Massachusetts. There, she helped recruit incoming freshmen and assisted with transfer student programs.

"The search to fill these positions was extensive and lengthy, but worth it," said A.K. Rahman, UCO director of Auxiliary Services. "These employees are essential to attract people to our university." Rahman asid student involvement in university functions at the University Center remains his goal. "I especially hope to keep students on campus during the weekends—to watch movies and to be involved in the various functions we offer." Receiving no state operating funds, the University Center is a self-supporting branch of UCO. It employs 150 students on a part-time basis and has about 50 full-time employees.

by a strong plot and interesting characters. Unfortunately, every time you begin to really get involved in a scene, Stone hurls a barrage of images at you. It's meant to be symbolic of the confusion and emotional turmoil experienced by the characters, but it doesn't work. Instead of making you feel what the characters are feeling, it pulls you out of the scene and reminds you that you're just watching a movie. U-Turn does have its memorable moments, but when the end credits roll, it's easy to wonder how much better the film might have been had Stone simply let the story tell itself.

Reviews are rated on the five star scale. Five is the best possible rating and one is the least.
