On-campus daycare could become reality

By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

ast week a UCO student with his 2 yearold son in tow, showed up at Susan McCauley's office looking for daycare.

Little did this father know that UCO doesn't have offer child care services.

"Someone told me there was a daycare center on campus," he said to McCauley, director of UCO's Child Study Center.

"He was desperate," she said. "But I couldn't help him."

McCauley said that situation is not unusual. Many people assume there's a child care The time is now. facility on campus when they see the playground and the And I'm fairly children from the study center confident that it's a playing outside.

The Child Study Center, professor of human located in the Home Economics environmental Building, is a 2 1/2 hour per sciences day pre-school for children of students, faculty, staff and the community. Those who would like to enroll their children can expect at least one-year on the waiting list.

But that center may soon be a part of a bigger "Child Services Center." That is, if things go as planned.

Dr. Kaye Sears, professor of human environmental sciences, has been pushing for oncampus daycare since 1980.

But the proposal has always been shot down

EDITORIAL

Child care center should become a priority at UCO he average age of a student at UCO is 27. Many of those students are parents, balancing the responsibilities of caring for another person with the demands of getting a degree.

Those parents/students are forced to look off-campus for child care while they attend class.

A daycare center that would serve the needs of the UCO community was not prioritized to be a part of the $54 million master plan improvement to the campus.

In some respects that decision is understandable, it does little good to have a daycare center if the university's classroom facilities are inadequate.

But with the construction projects nearing completion, that argument is no longer valid.

To be competitive, universities must not only serve the educational needs of students, but their other needs as well.

If a university doesn't, then its customers (students) will seek out other universities who do offer those services. And many other universities offer on-campus daycare.

Lack of money has always been the answer for why things are not done at UCO. And everyone agrees, UCO is underfunded.

But if it's possible for President George Nigh to get a bank and an employment service to donate $115,000 so students can eat tacos while enjoying a lake view, then can't he get someone to donate money for a child care center?

LETTERS

Student clarifies missed point in letter

I

n response to Kelly Ridge's letter in the Oct. 1 issue of The Vista, she missed the point and was wrong on several key issues.

First, not anyone who displays academic and leadership ability can join PLC, mainly because it has a cap on the number of students who can join set at 80.

In addition, there are only 142 organizations on this campus, usually four executive positions per club. Multiply this out, divide by the three club one needs to be a member of PLC and you come up with a maximum possibility of 189

students being able to join, assuming that PLC did not have a cap. Therefore, not everyone at this university who displays academic and leadership ability can join as Ms. Ridge would have yoli believe.

Second, not once in Ms. Ridge's letter did she seek to refute the statistical data I presented, but rather chose to attack me personally. Why? She could not attack the data. It is true that I don't meet the criteria to join this organization (this is by choice), but does this mean I should sit silently as my hardearned money is taken away

from me? No! My personally meeting the criteria is irrelevant to the issue.

I agree with Ms. Ridge wholeheartedly when she states that those joining a particular field should have the qualifications of that field. I also agree with her when she states that individuals who work hard should be rewarded for their achievements. My argument is this: Don't make those individuals who don't meet the requirements pay for the reward.

That is the point.

because the university hasn't had the money and "it hasn't been a priority over the years," she said.

"The time is now," said Sears. "And I'm fairly confident that it's a real priority."

President Nigh has agreed to help raise funds for a state-of-the-art center that will encompass: •a diagnostic/treatment center for children with learning disabilities, mental retardation, physical handicaps and psychological disturbances; •the developmental pre-school laboratory currently housed in Home Economics Building; •a daycare facility for the children of faculty, staff and students.

"It will be one-of-a-kind in this part of the country," said Sears.

The three branches will benefit students at the university as well as the children and parents it is serving, said Mary Monfort, chair of the committee for the Child Services Center.

It will provide a training ground for

students in fields such as psychology, speech and hearing, early childhood education and guidance and counseling.

Masters level students and their professors will be responsible for all assessments and treatments of the children, she said.

Nigh has already allocated land north of Ayers near the driver's education lot for the center.

The site was chosen for security purposes and easy access for parents to drop off and pick up their children.

An architect has been hired and will have an estimate prepared in about a week, said Monfort, who will be heading the fundraising efforts for the project.

How much will it cost? Monfort said she doesn't want to speculate. But Nigh said he's heard it could run as high as two or three million dollars.

Several issues such as whether or not the center will accept DHS, if children who are not associated with the university will be accepted into daycare and the operating hours of the facility have not AUMNAMMAM, HVI

yet been decided.

Several other Oklahoma universities with child care facilities include: •The University of Oklahoma, Norman, OUr Children's World Learning Center offers full and part-time daycare and are open from 7 a.m to 6 p.m. They currently have 141 children full time.

Priority is given to those associated with the university. Full-time fees range from $112 a week for infants to $95 per week for a private, full-day kindergarten.

Daycare for before and after school is $49 per week for five days with part-time daycare prorated. DHS is accepted.

The university owns the building and the land and the commercial business which runs the daycare center pays utilities and the rent is based on occupancy.

A free parking lot is located across the street for parents to walk their children safely to the center.

students.

Their services are open to students, faculty and the community. Forty eight children currently attend the center daily with 85 awaiting openings.

Their fees range from $90 to $105 per week depending on the age group. DHS is accepted.

'Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Child Development Lab sees over 70 children per day. The facility is open to anyone living in Stillwater and DHS is accepted.

The lab serves as a teacher training institute and is supplemented financially by the university. OSU owns the building and pays the utilities along with partial salaries.

The possibility of a child care center at UCO is just that—a possibility, said President Nigh. "It's one of several additional wishes that leaders of the university would like to have.

"It won't be built before I leave," he said, "and a lot of these things will be decided long after I'm gone."

Professor protests Perot's gag order

By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer

R

oss Perot was conspicuously absent in the nationallytelevised presidential debate from Hartford, Conn. on Sunday. For some, the exclusion smacks of two-party politics; to others the absence is justified.

Dr. Jan Hardt, assistant professor of political science at UCO, falls in the former category.

Perot should have been included in the debate, Hardt said.

And Hardt should know. The Commission on Presidential Debates solicited her opinion while it deliberated on its final decision.

The commission faxed to Hardt and other political scientists a survey seeking input on the criteria they would use to determine which candidates should participat6 in the presidential debates.

"There was a whole series of

questions," Hardt said. "Like if the from the debates, citing his lack of a candidate has received enough news "realistic chance" at winning the elections coverage and federal matching funds; and as a key factor. If that is indeed the case, if his name has appeared on enough then Bob Dole should be handed the gag ballots, or if you think the candidate has a order as well, Hardt said. the litigation did not appear to put a dent realistic chance of winning."

The billionaire's candidacy will be hurt in the commission's plans.

Hardt said Perot could hold his own on by his exclusion, for it was largely all four counts. through the debates and prime-time The vice presidential debate between He is a nationally-recognized infomercials that he reached out to the Gore and Kemp is on Wednesday, Oct. 9, candidate whose name is carried on the voting public in 1992, Hardt said. in St.Petersburg, Fla.

Parties scramble for high road with education Candidates discuss

By College Press Service

CANPAIDN

WASHINGTON — With just weeks to go until the November election, Republicans and Democrats are scrambling to claim the high ground on education spending.

The struggle in the Senate over which party can be declared "the education party" began earlier this month after a Senate panel approved a 1997 spending bill that fell short of White House requests.

The Senate-approved student-aid spending bill would fund Education Department programs after Oct. 1 and includes a $30 increase in the. maximum Pell Grant, the same level recommended earlier by the House of Representatives.

The Education Department, however, favors a $230 increase in the maximum grant, up to $2,700 for fiscal year 1997. The current maximum is $2,470.

"This measure falls short—$2.2 billion short—of the president's request," said Education Secretary Richard Riley. The secretary had hinted at a possible presidential veto when the House passed its own education spending bill last summer, and he did not retreat from that

Lott noted that education spending is usually included in the Labor Department spending bill that is yet to hit the Senate floor.

"They (Democrats) were trying to make the point that they were 'the education party' and Republicans weren't," said Susan Irby, Lott's press secretary. She stressed that education is also a GOP priority but "we don't necessarily agree on the spending."

But the fact that both parties offered proposals indicate that a shutdown may be avoided as the Senate scurries to finish work on spending bills needed to fund the federal government in the fiscal year that started Oct. 1.

Meanwhile, the Senate studentaid spending bill retains some student-aid programs singled out for cuts earlier in the House-passed measure.

position after reviewing the Senate bill.

On Sept. 17, Senate Democrats attempted to introduce an amendment to the Interior Bill, which would have boosted education spending by an extra $3.1 billion. Senate Republicans quickly countered the amendment with a proposal to increase education spending by $2.3 billion.

"We can either get our brains beat out politically, or we can get in there and mix it up with them, and that's what we're going to do," Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., said in introducing the Republican proposal.

Speaker emphasizes importance of virtual education

By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer

In virtual offices, people will be collaborating with colleagues around the world via portable computing and communications devices. They will use on-line services to get medical advice anywhere at anytime. They will tour the world's art galleries without leaving their sofas.

At the 'Salute to Education' luncheon Oct. 2, James B. Appleberry, president of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, used these futuristic scenarios to describe the importance of technological education in today's universities, His keynote speech called for educators to recognize and prepare students for the rapid expansion of information, increased technological capability and change in the nature of work worldwide.

"We are the ones who can help individuals to think, adapt, compete, cooperate, learn personal and organizational limits...that improve the quality of life," said Appleberry to an

audience of educators, administrators and students.

"Information is a start, but it is the use to which it is put that will make the difference," he said.

Appleberry said that there is obvious link between the nation's future economy and the education of its citizens. He warned students to take advantage of technological changes.

"Without education, and without your continuing to learn – for the rest of your life – you will have your future determined for you by others," he said.

"Never before has education been so crucial to our future as a nation, and to you personal future, no matter your age."

Appleberry cited some examples of how quickly the nation is moving toward a knowledge-based society.

"It has been said that the total of humankind's information doubles at least one time every five years. By the year 2000, 97 percent of what humankind knows will have been discovered or invented since those of us here today were born."

"A former member of the United States President's Cabinet estimated that by the year 2020, information available to mankind will double every 73 days," he said.

He said with such a rapid growth of information, there is no way any college or university can teach a person all the information he needs to know before graduation.

"The discovery of new information gives individuals no choice if they want to keep up with their profession and at least be in a President of the American Association of State Colleges and position to help control Universities, James B.

Newscaster questions broadcast education at journalism conference WASHINGTON—TV news anchor Jane Pauley believes education for broadcast majors isn't meeting the needs of the broadcast industry.

She spoke at a recent conference in Washington D.C., for the Society of Professional Journalists about the need to improve education for broadcast majors.

Pauley, a panel of broadcast producers and university professors addressed the findings from the Jane Pauley Task Force Report on Mass Communication which concluded college graduates are not prepared for entry level positions in broadcasting.

Studies in the report cited large gaps between what college broadcast professors and employers in the broadcast field think are important for students to learn.

Bill Keeling, in charge of hiring for OETA-TV, Channel 13, said, "As a general rule they are not ready to compete in the job market."

"Schools need to get back to teaching the basics. "Such as basic composition that's learned in any seventh grade art class," Keeling said.

Dr. Jack Deskin, professor with the department of communications, said broadcast stations complain about unprepared graduates but they want it that way to justify hiring, "cheap labor."

Keeling said, "Economics does come into play, when you take a chance on hiring someone who is unprepared."

Friends Speak in conversational English program

By Telannia Hytche

Staff Writer

T

he Christian Outreach Center offers a conversational English program, Friends Speak, to international students with sessions that are flexible to any schedule.

Friends Speak has 63 international students and 43 teachers. Seventeen international students are on a waiting list for a conversational partner as of Sept.

25.

The program gives each student an individual conversational partner.

Each session is one hour a week. A lesson book, from the Biblical book of Luke, is given to each student.

Students do not have to believe what they are reading, said Leslee Altrock, codirector of the center. It is a tool used to start a conversation.

Once a month the conversational partners participate in activity with their student. Examples of an activity would be a visit to the Cowboy Hall of Fame or a

UCO Women's Club shifts focus to fundraising Club members decide to change number of programs

By Judy Simpson

Staff Writer

UCO Women's Club is shifting the focus of their activities to concentrate on raising money for the UCO Women's Club Scholarship Fund.

Members of the women's club executive board have decided to make changes from four Saturday programs a year to two.

The first program, a tea for

new teachers.

Every Tuesday, an international student cooks a dish from their homeland for lunch. Cost of the lunch is $2 per person.

An international Bible study class is held every Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Three parties are held each semester for international students. The last two parties for this semester are at 7 p.m. Nov. 8 and Dec. 6 in the Center.

Before becoming directors of the center, Craig and Leslee Altrock had a similar program overseas.

While on vaction overseas, they started a conversational English program.

The Altrocks started Let's Start Talking five years ago.

The Altrocks wanted to set up a similar program in the United States.

Last year, the Quail Springs Church of Christ hired the couple to set up a center for university students. The program has been in effect since last August.

Craig is director of the American students and Leslee is director of the international students.

Donna Nigh, was held in September and the second, will be a spring fashion show in April.

The reason for the change to two programs said Dr. Gayle Kearns, the club's president, is a drop in attendance.

"We would rather put money and effort into raising scholarship funds than Saturday programs with low attendance," said Kearns.

Bronchos open conference slate with win 17:71,M,Mr ,

By Joel Reagan Sports Editor

Central Oklahoma used Jubarko Gaines' legs and turned a bad snap into a victory Saturday afternoon.

Gaines rushed for 149 yards on 31 carries in the third-ranked Bronchos' 38-21 win over sixthranked Texas A&M-Commerce in the both team's Lone Star Conference opener played before 1,700 specators at Want;and Stadium.

UCO (4-0, 1-0 in the LSC) found itself tied with the Lions, 21-21 entering the fourth quarter after leading by as much as 21 points in the second period.

The first play in the quarter changed the course of the contest, however.

A bad snap from Lion freshman Scott Rinker got away from punter Erik Forrest at the Lion 32-yard line. Forrest chased the football into the end zone and tried to kick it out of the back of the end zone.

Senior linebacker Terry Bell fell on the ball to give the Bronchos a touchdown.

The Lions got the ball back but punted after three downs.

UCO drove the football from the TAMUC 37 in for a score.

Sophomore Ryan Logan scored from two yards out at the 12:06

Lady Broncho volleyballers split with conference leaders

By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer

The Central Oklahoma volleyball team felt a high and a low this weekend. Coming off a three-game victory over last year's regular season conference champ Eastern New Mexico, UCO lost to conference leader West Texas A&M in three games.

UCO volleyball coach Mark Herrin said their goal was to beat one of those teams this weekend.

"The top two teams in the conference come to town, and

we thought if we could get one of them that would be a successful weekend. We're pretty pleased with the way the weekend went."

After the three-game loss, Herrin said it is important to win tonight's match against rival Cameron (Okla.). The 7 p.m. contest is the third of a fivematch homestand, the longest of the season for UCO. West Texas A&M entered Saturday.'s match at Hamilton Field House ranked ninth in NCAA Division II. Despite losing to Texas Woman's

University Friday, the Lady Buffaloes still lead the Lone Star Conference with an 8-1 conference record, 14-3 overall.

The Lady Bronchos (10-4, 63) almost won the first game, getting game point at 14-9. UCO rallied from a 4-7 deficit thanks to Kate O'Neill's kill and block on successive plays.

WTAMU came back and scored seven unanswered points, capitalizing on UCO mistakes.

Outside hitter Wendy Chamblee got the kill to win the game 1614.

An open home leads to an open house for UCO professor

By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

Student Center without people wanting to talk to me about my house," he said.

Several phone calls a day and even some curious visitors have prompted Watson to host the open house. Everyone, especially members of the UCO community, is welcome, he said.

Although Watson enjoys expounding on the minimalist concept, true to form, he has prepared a brochure to expedite the process.

The graphic yellow and black self-guided tour guide ushers guests through the bright yellow door, through the five room house, and even into the bathroom where the King is enshrined on black velvet.

Modifications to the 1952 design transformed the architecture of the house, so typical of the era, to meet a minimalist theory of structural simplicity that suits Watson's busy life style.

Visitors to the open house can check out the newest addition to Watson's minimally mowed back yard-pink flamingos.

Below: The floor plan of Dr.

n open house plan has spured plans for an open house of a differnt kind for UCO visual art and design professor Dr. Jim Watson.

People who got a glimpse of Watson's unusual home in The Vista's Sept. 17 issue can see the whole thing for themselves at his open house at 424 East 4th, on Sun., Oct. 13 from 1-5 p.m.

The house, within walking distance of campus, incorporates the industrial loft look Watson admires.

Watson is a minimalist.

The Vista's Sept. 17 spread described how the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright and Japanese and European minimalism transformed his ordinary house into a showcase of functionality and enduring design. Since then, Watson has been a busy man.

The exterior design of the campus' newest building has drawn comments from students and faculty ranging from, "It's very interesting," to, "My God, it's ugly!"

Aesthetics aside, the 30 classrooms of the building showcase state-of-the-art technology such as satellite downlinks, laser disk players, cable television and video cameras.

The building also has an office complex, two computer labs, a conference room and a student lounge area.

Thou shalt not read books that offend To Kill a Mockingbird Turn of the Screw The Color Purple Of Mice and Men Breakfast of Champions The Indian in the Cupboard Catcher in the Rye Matilda I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

W

This year's Banned Books Week, with the theme "Exercising Your Right to Read," ended last week (Sept. 28-Oct 5).

Last year, the Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) compiled a list of 740 book titles that were either banned or challenged from school and public library shelves.

The OW, now in its 30th year, has been maintaining and updating database of banned or challenged titles for the past 15 years.

These titles are culled from published reports, but Liebow said she believes the numbers are just the tip of the iceberg.

"For every one challenge that we hear about, there may be four or five that go unreported," Liebow said.

Topping the list was Maya Angelou's critically acclaimed I Know Why the

hat do these books, and many others like them, have in common?

They're classics.

They're thought-provoking.

They're often controversial.

They're banned.

Or challenged by well-meaning parents who want to keep their children away from the "filth."

"Parents have a genuine concern over what their children read, but they miss the bigger picture," said Debra Liebow, assistant director of the American Library Association (ALA) Office for Intellectual Freedom.

"By removing a book from library shelves, they (parents) limit the access of others to that book. The removal of materials is not the answer," Liebow said.

The ALA is co-sponsor of the annual Banned Books Week, an event to serve as a reminder that one's right to read should not be taken for granted, lest it be taken Caged Bird Sings. away.

It maintains its top spot this year, obviously hitting a raw nerve with parents and school board members as they assail it for being "pornographic" and filled with "gross evils."

What especially riles them is a passage that depicts in searing detail the rape of a young girl by her mother's boyfriend.

It is widely believed that the novel is autobiographical in nature.

Liebow said opponents to the book fail to realize that it is ultimately a story of triumph, of how a traumatized little girl overcame tantamount odds and adversity to make something of herself.

Catcher In the Rye by J.D. Salinger is another controversial hot button, rising from eighth place in 1995 in the Banned Book List to second place this year.

Other provocative books include Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, Judy Blume's

angst-ridden Forever for teens and Lois Lowry's award-winning children's book The Giver.

Liebow said a good question to ask those who crusade against certain books is, "Have you read the whole book?"

Many people have a tendency to take passages out of context or were told about the book by a neighbor or a friend.

Liebow recommends that parents offended by the content of assigned readings seek alternatives to a book ban: •Make special arrangements with teachers to have a different book assigned.

•Get involved with the libraries in their book selection process.

•Talk to children about what they're reading.

Librarians are on hand to advise and assist adults and children in selecting books suitable for their age and interests, said Liebow's colleague, Judith F. Krug.

Liebow said books should be removed because they're educationally unsuitable, not because it's personally offensive to some.

Krug concurs, "Part of living in a democracy means respecting each other's differences and the right of all people to choose for themselves what they and their families read."

The cost of keeping air clean

By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

p

eople riding the Metro transit will find doing their part to help keep the air clean in Oklahoma won't be free anymore.

In the past Metro was able to offer free rides to anyone riding the bus on a clean air alert day.

Because of federal budget cuts the cost of keeping the air clean will now be 25 cents on dollar routes and 10 cents for the elderly and disabled.

Randy Hume, an administrator at Metro transit said, the change from a free

ride to a quarter or dime came because of new regulations set by the federal government.

Hume said the Metro operates on money from five different areas: The federal government gives llpercent, revenue from Oklahoma City is 59 percent, fares amount to 16 percent, grants generated through the City of Edmond, UCO and Area Wide Aging Agency is 5 percent and 9 percent comes from planning money given by the federal government.

This year the federal government cut the Metro's budget by 45 percent.

"We went from getting 2 million in

federal assistance to 1 million," Hume said.

Although the cut didn't force them to charge the fare it did reduce the money used for maintaining the system.

During the clean air alerts the Metro can get reimbursement up to $3,000 for offering cheaper fares.

"The government said it was not able to see what kind of impact the clean air alerts had on commuting when the fare was free," he said.

"The only way we can get the reimbursement is if we charge a small fee."

Hume said the money they receive

from the government is capped and has been decreasing yearly.

"The government is reducing the operating expenditure because many feel the transit system's cost should be handled mostly by the local economy," he said.

Hume said although Oklahoma City has been very good about trying to meet the Metro's needs, Oklahoma has a small and limited transit system for its size.

He said cuts in the routes have been made to help offset the cost of the system since the budget cuts.

Miscalculation in bid price delays renovation to Communications Building

By Gayleen Langthorn Managing Editor

A bid price dispute over a contractor's legal responsibility has delayed completion of renovation to the Communications Building.

The heating and air conditioning subcontractor, BTH, miscalculated their bid price and have asked UCO to pay more than the original contract stated.

Nick Widener, who oversees construction projects, said UCO's attorney reviewed the plans and specifications for the contract.

"The counsel said the plans and specs (specifications) were very clear and the obligation is on BTH to deliver what the plans and specs called for," Widener said. "UCO could and should demand that they do that."

So , Widener directed BTH to complete the job.

"We've agreed to do it, but we're doing it under protest," said Larry Bryant, project manager for BTH. Widener said BTH is legally bound to complete the job.

"Even if they feel that our directive is beyond the contract document, they still have to do it," he said. "Then they can pursue any means they feel necessary at a later date."

Widener said he didn't think BTH would take legal action against UCO, "but it's hard to say."

"Our counsel and the board

counsel said if they did pursue it, they would be unsuccessful," he said.

Bryant wouldn't comment on the possibility of a lawsuit.

"The object is not to punish BTH, but to make sure the university gets what was outlined in the plans and specs," Widener said.

It was a difference of approximately $50,000 between what they put in their bid and their actual estimates when work was about to begin, said Nick Widener, who oversees construction at UCO. Rebidding a portion of the contract was considered, but that option didn't pan out.

"The estimates for the heating and cooling costs came back higher than we thought they would be," said Widener.

Several other options were explored including the university purchasing the pipe to connect the building to the Central Plant separately from the contract.

Purchasing a stand-alone heat and air unit for the building was also considered. But all of those options were more expensive.

"I couldn't see any reason why the university should pay more money," Widener said.

"If they follow the direction that we've given them, we should have pipe on the ground by Nov. 1," he said. "Then three or four weeks to hook up to the Central Plant...it should have heat and air by the beginning of the spring semester."

President's office honors F international students

By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer

or the first time in 20 years, the president's office officially recognized the international students at UCO. "This is the first time since I've been director that a president has recognized international students at a reception," said Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of the international office. Paddack has been director since 1976.

A reception was held by the president's office Oct. 2 in honor of international students and the different international organizations on campus.

"We officially appreciate the contributions that international students have made to UCO," said President George Nigh.

Nine out of 15 international student organizations attended the reception.

The Nepal Student Association found a sponsor during the reception and will become an official association by the end of the month. As of this year, there are 19 students from Nepal.

announcement was made at a luncheon that day but would not miss the chance to attend a student event.

"I think it's great for all international students to come together as a whole," said Weber.

During the reception, Jalal Daneshfar, international student coordinator, introduced the presidents of each organization to President Nigh.

Each president introduced their officers and sponsors who were present at the gathering.

Most of the international students were excited about the opportunity to be recognized by President Nigh and his office.

"I'm glad that they invited all the organizations out to meet with us," said Evi Wijaya, president of the Indonesian Student Association.

Shiying Liang, president of the Chinese (PROC) Student Association, said she is pleased to have the chance to see other international students and discuss upcoming events.

Staff and faculty also attended the event.

Students are missing out on an opportunity to network when they don't take the time to talk with international students, said Dr. David Harris, dean of the business college.
