Dorm residents petition to keep custodians

By Phillip Roder

Staff Writer UCO's Custodial Services Committee met Friday afternoon to discuss hiring a n e w custodial service despite the fact dorm residents petitioned against it.

Kidess Tewfic Kidess, Resident Hall Association (RHA) president, presented a petition signed by many dorm residents concerned about losing the current staff.

"The people cleaning the dorms now are like our family," said Kidess.

Kidess Pederson said he is concerned about times when the dorms would be cleaned after the new custodial service takes over.

The students want to ensure that the bathrooms will be cleaned after "peak times" to control diseases, he said.

"Our goal here is cleaner buildings," said Dr. Cornelius Wooten, vice president of administration.

One of the most important issues the committee took into consideration was the loyalty of the custodians to the company they're employed by, said Lennis Pederson, facilities management director.

The committee does not want to hire a company who will be shipping new people in every week, he said. The committee wants the faculty and the custodians to have a relationship where they're on a first-name basis.

Current UCO employees have the option to work for the new company for three months, and anything after that would be decided by the company, said Pederson. The person certified to care for the Hamilton Fieldhouse pool will be retained for at least one more year, he said.

"We want to make sure that the pool is cared for by someone who is certified," said Pederson.

The committee also wants to ensure the security of the buildings. If the cleaners come at night, they will have to have access to the offices, which has been a problem in the past, said Pederson.

The committee would like for the new custodial staff to begin work Jan. 1, 1998,he said

UCO 10-year plan outlined; Planning groups formed

By Colby Grieser

Staff Writer w o UCO administrators have outlined a plan for change—a plan that has a goal of keeping the university competitive and innovative going into the 21st century.

Doug Fox, executive in

residence, and Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of Institutional Research and Planning, have written a document called Planning for the 21st Century, which explains the ten-year plan.

The first part of the process involves creating ten area planning groups; one for each college, one for each of the four administrative areas, and one for

technology. These groups will examine each of the areas they were established for.

There is also a University Planning Group (UPG), which will oversee the area planning groups.

It includes a chairperson from each area planning group, three students, faculty, alumni and

Bombing memorial funded at what cost?

T

wenty-four million dollars for an Oklahoma City bombing memorial? No one wants to be accused of forgetting the 168 individuals killed in the April 19, 1995 blast. Nor does anyone want to be labeled insensitive. But can't we find a cheaper way to honor those killed.

It's interesting that Congress and the President, who've both promised to cut government spending have decided in record time to spend so much of our money to feel good.

They did it Thursday when President Clinton made the future Oklahoma City bombing memorial part of the National Park system. The measure also authorizes $5 million in federal funding for the memorial, though the money has to be matched with funds from other sources — primarily local ones.

The memorial is estimated to cost $24 million. A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Memorial Foundation said the group has already raised $3.5 million in private funds and wants to get another $5 million from the state Legislature.

Even if we could somehow justify the hypocritical position of the Congress and the President, have we considered how this might affect the other charities in the Oklahoma City area that perhaps will no longer receive their usual share of contributions because citizens have given their money to fund a memorial that neither feeds people nor gives them a place to sleep nor puts clothes on their backs.

Has anyone thought this through?

"With the UPG we tried to have good representation in all of the areas on campus," said Cunliff.

The first phase of the planning process is a self examination within the area planning groups using an analysis which examines their area's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT ).

"We have to look at ourselves first and define what we are and what we do. After we've successfully done that, we need to talk about who we want to be, where we're going and what we want to do," said Jerry Legere, chair for the enrollment planning group.

The planning groups will have monthly meetings to discuss these issues and will report to the UPG periodically.

Planning groups are being encouraged to post their meeting times and places so students and faculty can attend.

They're also encouraged to set aside time for anyone to speak up about issues, said Cunliff.

The next phase of the project involves

the area planning groups creating with people from the other planning "innovative projects." Cunliff said he's groups and combine projects to save hoping all the groups will form creative resources.

"They need to look at opportunities, and innovative projects to implement not just for themselves, within their but for other areas of areas.

"My main goal is to gear up student life and get students more involved on campus," he said.

The planning groups will have quarterly reports discussing what efforts and progress is being made, and they will have final reports due by Dec. 15, 1998.

From December 1998 to Jan. 15, 1999 the final reports will be reviewed and a final draft of the long range plan describing all the goals and objectives for the university will be written by Jan. 31, 1999.

Cunliff said they want to move through the planning process quickly so they can get the final document written and start working on projects for the university.

"What we don't want is for the document to be collecting dust on a shelf," he said.

Throughout the long-range plan, Cunliff said there is one issue that is most important.

It's a ruff' life Laboring Labrador helps UCO writer, fetches affection is friends call him Whiskey.

He was taken from Death Row in 1995 and now spends nearly all his time waiting to be told what to do next.

It's a dog's life, but only special dogs get to live it.

Whiskey, or Wisconsin, to use his real name, is a black Labrador retriever trained to help Roy Howe, a writer in UCO's communication department, perform his day-to-day tasks.

"He pulls my wheelchair and helps me get around," Howe said. "He helps me open doors, move objects, turn lights on and off, he brings me the phone, and picks things up when I drop them."

Whiskey rolled his eyes in confirmation. He seemed to want to say something about his master's clumsiness, but his lips remained closed.

Paws With a Cause (PWC), a nonprofit organization based in Michigan, took Whiskey from a dog pound, Howe said.

H

SA rot l i

PWC trained the dog in Michigan for six months before sending him to his new home in Oklahoma City, where he was given six more months of personalized training with Howe.

Whiskey had no comment about his time in the pound. The sad expression on his face may have indicated that it was not a happy time for him, and that he may have left friends who were not fortunate enough to escape the canine prison. He would not discuss his feelings about his present occupation, but those close to him say Whiskey seems to do his job with eagerness and great attention to detail.

"He's real quick to do what he's trained to," Howe added.

The average work day for Whiskey runs from about 10 a.m. until 9 p.m.

"He goes everywhere with me," Howe said. "He's beside me at my desk, and he's sat in on high level meetings here at the university."

When asked what he had gained from his privileged position, Whiskey opend his mouth wide, let his pink tongue curl, and yawned For work, Whiskey dresses in nothing

The women in the communications office think any female who can gain the affection of Whiskey is one lucky dog.

They all agreed, "Those brown eyes'll just melt your heart."

Linda Winn, from the media center, said, "He's a cutie."

Not all Whiskey's time is spent helping Howe or accepting compliments from admiring, two-legged females.

"He's a different dog when that back pack comes off," said Howe. "He runs around the house, and rolls, and acts like any other dog."

There is one difference, though, said Howe.

"I have to keep the door locked," he said. "Whiskey knows how to open the door and he's opened it and gone out on Whiskey, Roy Howe's Labrador Retriever was his own before."

The leave of absence wasn't long, and rescued from a Michigan animal shelter by Paws With a Cause. (Staff photo by Bryan Terry) Whiskey hadn't left in search of amour.

He simply had to do what no dog is "It's that shiny black coat," said Farzana Razak, supposed to do in the house. a graduate assistant in the journalism department.

When he was finished, he came back to his "It's hard to keep my hands off it."

Whiskey's eyes filled with a mischievous light master.

That story told, Whiskey gave a sly wink, as if and he gave a toothy smile to Razak, as if to say he to say there may be more going on than anyone felt the same toward her.

"He's got his eye on several female dogs around knows.

Since October is typically a low-traffic month for the center, advisers can spend more time with students and students won't have to wait in line as long, she said.

Graduating Seniors Month is a part of the center's new emphasis on proactive advisement, said Evelyn Wilson, dean of enrollment.

Proactive advisement is the process of detecting and resolving issues before they become blocks to a student's enrollment or graduation, she said.

Seniors who will graduate in the summer or next fall should meet with their advisers for degree checks in March, Wilson said.

Men's basketball team picked to win division

D

efending Lone Star Conference men's basketball champion Central Oklahoma is the unanimous pick to win the inaugural LSC North Division title in 1997-98, according to a pre-season poll of league athletic directors, head coaches, and sports information directors.

The Bronchos of llth-year L . Id coach Jim Seward received all 20 first-place votes and finished with 320 points.

UCO has five players back from last year's 24-5 team that won the conference crown and advanced to the NCAA Division II national tournament for the fourth time in six years.

Southeastern Oklahoma was the

UCO officials consider hepatitis testing for high-risk personnel

By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer

n order to prevent a possible outbreak of hepatitis A, UCO may soon require testing of all employees hired into the areas of food service, childcare and custodial positions.

Last spring, the State Department of Health said the number of cases of hepatitis A were of epidemic proportion.

In 1996 Oklahoma ranked first in the nation with 2,586 reported cases.

In an effort to prevent the disease from spreading on campus, Don Powers, director of safety and environmental management, is urging the university to begin testing campus employees in highrisk occupations.

Center already provides type B vaccinations for university workers.

"If we're going to require the vaccinations, we should provide them," she said. "I don't know what the charge would be or how it would affect our budget limits."

Powers said he wants the university to pay for the testing and vaccinations.

Wallenmeyer said there is no reason to fear an outbreak right now, but precautions should be taken nonetheless.

"The epidemic was announced in the spring," she said. "But it takes a long time to get over a type A epidemic."

The proposal has been forwarded to the human resources office, Powers said.

There is no timetable on when a decision will be reached.

Music professor honored for outstanding research

By Colby Grieser Staff Writer Dr. Samuel Magrill, associate professor of music was named the Fellow for the College of Liberal Arts for 1997.

Each year one faculty member from each of the colleges on campus is

recognized for their outstanding research by being chosen as a Hauptman Fellow.

After they are chosen, the fellows present their research at a colloquium.

"They had a lunch for us and we got to listen to the other fellows' research," said Magrill.

Magrill submitted four different

abstracts on his work on subjects such as; processes of making CDs, writing an opera and writing a composition, he said.

"It was an honor to be selected, and the research has been very important," said Magrill.

Not every instructor on campus does research, but they are still good teachers,

he said.

"But, research is also an important aspect. There are things that can be done in fields other than teaching," said Magrill.

Magrill also presented some of his research at the Oklahoma Music Theory Round Table at East Central University. ;6

Campus group celebrates National Coming Out Day

By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer "Ellen did it and so can you."

That was the theme of a coming out party sponsored by UCO's Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality (GATE) last Friday. The event took place in the faculty lounge of the Liberal Arts Building from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.. GATE held the party in honor of National Coming Out Day, Oct. 11.

Though no one officially "came out," GATE co-sponsor Dr. Lewis Irving said it was important to recognize what the day meant.

"People came to talk about

family more than to 'come out,"' Irving said. "They wanted to say, `thank you for being out—we can't be.'"

Kay Holladay, co-chairperson of the Norman chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), offered an explanation for the reluctance some gay people feel about announcing their sexual preference.

"They've had too much experience of rejection because of religious conservative views," Holladay said.

Irving said the event served a valuable purpose for UCO. "We want students to realize there are many gays and lesbians

often."

Holladay agreed that homosexuals are usually shown in a negative stereotype. She attributes much of the problem to the manner in which heterosexual children are raised.

"Heterosexual children are raised in a heterosexual world," she said. "They have the assumption that everyone is heterosexual. That's not the case.

"And parents want to Kay Holladay discusses gay issues on National Coming Out believe their children will grow Day.

said that problems can be traced back to nursery rhymes.

"I would love to rewrite them," she said.

Ben Knoll, a UCO student attending the coming out party, agreed with Holladay.

"It's like the farmer takes a wife," he said. "They don't want to say the farmer takes the farmer next door."

Holladay said such ideas will persist as long as people believe books and other forms of media dealing with homosexuality will recruit heterosexual people into homosexuality.

"Homosexuality is who we are, not what we do," Holladay said. ;kJ
