The Student Voice Since 1903
By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer
elieve it or not, Roger Webb didn't lose sleep dreaming o f becoming UCO's 19th president. His childhood dream was to "play center field for the New York Yankees." In fact, he said becoming a university president was a "fluke." It all began 18 years ago when Webb took a float trip with his family on the Illinois River in Tahlequah, Okla. During his vacation, Webb jogged through the campus of Northeastern State University (NSU) and he stopped to rest on a bench. "I looked down and saw a newspaper and the headline was 'President Fired' ." For a man who claims to "read five to six newspapers a day," and it's no surprise that his curiosity got the best of him. Webb picked up the paper and discovered the university was plagued with faculty and student unrest as well as racial and financial troubles. After digesting all this, Webb said to himself, "this is a job I'd like to have." He applied for the position and in 1978, Roger Webb went to bat for NSU. And on July 1, 1997, Webb will play for a new team—UCO. He was chosen by the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges on Sep. 23 as the university's next president, following George Nigh's retirement.

We don't mean to carp, but... The cascading water droplets decorating Broncho Lake have added a note of elegance and serenity to our campus. But recently it seems, there are other additions to the lake. Goldfish, carp and even bass have all been spotted by those on the shore. These aquatic animals apparently have new hoines courtesy of some sentimental souls. While this may seem like a nice gesture, the end result may not go swimmingly. "If someone catches bass and puts it in there, they would eat the goldfish," said Charles Wallace of the Oklahoma department of fisheries. The laws of nature require survival of the fittest. Big fish eat little fish unless the little fish are faster. Wallace said the water in the lake could also spell disaster for our finned friends. City water is used to keep the lake full. The clorination that purges bacteria from our drinking water will also poision the pisces. President Nigh told the Board of Regents last week that the Oklahoma Wildlife department will consult with the university about steps to take to stock the lake. He wants to be sure the fish will adjust to the lake and that fountains will be the only things floating on the surface. Nostalgia may inspire us with dreams of two foot orange and black koi swimming silently beneath the surface. Reality is inch long goldfish being sucked into a fountain and propelled high into the sky on a stream of water. It might be exciting to watch that little fishy swim away under the moonlight. But the fact is, he could be swimming to an untimely demise.
The "save the whale" school of thought whose devotees dot our campus are carping for the wrong cause. Is anyone else sick of people fishing for sympathy for animals even as human suffering scales new heights? Or officials who go off on politcally correct tangents while pressing issues cause some students to flounder? The lack of day care facilities at UCO is only one area that better deserves the attention of university officials than the fate of fish. The fish have to live in bad old city water, the same water that we drink? Oh no! Big fish who eat little fish and even students who eat little fish, is an honored tradition on college campuses. Why spoil the fun for UCO students? Having survived mid-terms, we deserve a little sport. O As a matter of fact, this could be just the fund raiser we need to net on-campus day care. Propelling previously poisoned goldfish sounds fun. Lots of people would buy tickets. We might even get a grant for the activity if we had any professional grant writers in residence. Call it a scientific experiment in socio-environmental A pooling. Seriously, doesn't Nigh have more pressing fish stories to swap with our regents? Maybe this "poor fishy" routine is a whole new kettle of fish, or maybe just a red herring.

Student encounters the run-around am a senior majoring in management. I am applying for the Ambassador Scholarship. One of the requirements is to provide the official transcript. So I went to the Administration Building Sept. 26 to get it and learned that I could not do so because my tution fee forthis semester was not paid yet. I went to see my advisor and explained it. She told me that she had access to my transcript and could give me a copy but it would not be in official format. So I went to see Mr. Drew Duke of the finance counter and explained the situation. He told me that the university can't issue a transcript for "whatsoever" reason if the tuition fee is not paid. I requested the possibility of sending the transcript through their office to the scholarship office. He said no and even this information is within the university, from downstairs to upstairs. So I went to the controller office to see if he could help me. I asked the secretary to make an appointment and she asked me the reason. She told me that the controller is busy and she will check with him and suggested to see herafter fifteen minutes. I went back after fifteen minutes and she informed me that the

controller has to stand by Mr. Duke's decision. I told her it is not the point of standing by, it is that I was here to get help to apply for the scholarship and requested her whether I could see the controller for five minutes to talk to him myself. She checked and told methat he will not be available until Sept. 30. I was very dissapointed and frustrated. I went to the International Office and explained my situation. They were kind and generous enough to accept my copy from the advisor. So the problem was solved. But a conscious student I really fell very frustrated with this policy and how it is unfair to the students. I talked to my friends and other fellow students about it and they feel the same way. The university's objective as an educational institution is to help the students pursue their education, to keep the door open so that they can enlighten them with the light of education. Now this policy has a chain reaction effect to the students and the ultimate result is very scary. Let's draw a picture here. A student who can't afford to pay his tuition fee is applying for a scholarship, so that he can pay his tuition fee. He can't get his transcript because his tuition fee
for the current semester has not been paid yet, even thought he is getting penalized for the late fee and one way or the other, he has to pay before the next semester begins. Not having th transcript, he can't apply for the scholarship and therefore can't go to school next semester. The policy is slamming the door in front of his face and taking away the opportunity to continue his education and draws the conclusion of his education. If it is a job or other purposes, not issuing the transcript is reasonable. University needs the tuition paid in time. But I think the policy should have some flexibility like scholarships. So that they can issue at least the transcript through their office, but not giving to the students. By doing so, the university will fulfill its role and responsibility. If it does not then the administration should think for a second and ask themselves the question, "Are we helping the students to continue their education or are we slamming the door in front of their faces by taking away the opportunity to continue their education throught this policy?" —Abu Salleh UCO student

from a place called Cedar Lake. In Webb's eyes, the small lake with its pine trees and clear water, is the most enchanting place in Oklahoma. "When I was a kid I would go there and reflect," he said. Webb moved away from Heavener to attend Oklahoma State University, where he received his Bachelors of Arts, followed by a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Oklahoma Law School. But before he discovered his niche in the academic world, Webb served as Commissioner for the Department of Public Safety in Oklahoma. And during the 1960s he worked in the office of the Secretary of the U.S. Senate in Washington D.C. There he worked with people like Hubert Humphrey and Bobby Kennedy. "I've been around," he said. "But not nearly as much as your current president." Webb said he felt it was inappropriate to discuss specific plans for UCO as he is yet to inherit the reigns of the university. However, he said he plans to help sharpen UCO students' focus on education and their futures. "There are a lot of aimless drifters on many college campuses. "There are futures being built here...," he said. Webb said he hopes the

I've been around. But not nearly as much as your current president. —Roger Webb UCO president-designate students and faculty at UCO will trust him to make the best decisions on their behalf. After all, he said, trust is the most important part of the president's relationship with the university
community. He understands that trust must be earned and he plans to get it by being himself. "Students know if you're a phony," he said. "I genuinely
enjoy people." In fact, Webb had an opportunity to test the waters last week when he visited UCO for the monthly Regents meeting. He was spotted chatting with
students and faculty alike. And a simple, "How do you do?" does not seem to satisfy him. "Where are you from?" and "What are you studying here at UCO?" were some of the things Webb wanted to know about the students. But before he jumps into UCO with both feet, Webb must leave a place that's been home for nearly two decades. First of all, he said, he will miss the talented and creative people on the team at NSU. Secondly, for a man who enjoys the great outdoors as Webb does, he said he will surely miss being 10 minutes from the Illinois River and near the hills of the Ozarks. "There are places," he said, "that look like no human being has ever walked there." There is one thing, however, that Webb will not miss—the 2 1/2 hour drive from Tahlequah to Oklahoma City for Regents meetings. When asked what song would most accurately reflect his life, the salt and pepper haired man who loves both jazz music and John Grisham novels replied, "at times it can be like Willie Nelson's On the Road Again." Although Webb's major league dreams didn't pan out, he said he is looking forward to moving back to Edmond—even if it's not the Big Apple.

Three administrators recognized for efforts in UCO's Master Plan By Gayleen Langthorn
Managing Editor
U
CO's 106th birthday celebration had the added distinction of the dedication of the first classroom building of the $54 million Master Plan project. The Education Building served as the backdrop for speeches from Dr. Dean Elsner, dean of the college of education, Mike Brown, president of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges and President George Nigh. Hans Brisch, chancellor of Oklahoma's State Regents for Higher Education, spoke passionately about the importance of education. "We know that our teachers are educating the future of Oklahoma," he said. Brisch also praised UCO's staff.
"Under George Nigh's leadership, you rolled up your sleeves and said, 'How can we reinvent our campus?" Nigh presented the President's Gold Medal Award to three people who contributed to the Master Plan project. Joyce Mounce, former vice president for administration, was responsible for setting up the bonds that financed the construction. Nick Widener, former executive assistant to the vice president for administation, had daily oversight of the construction projects. Larry Rankin, director of facilities management, will be retiring soon. He was responsible for cleaning and maintaining the campus. The dedication ceremony was topped off by a drawing for a $750 scholarship. Lorraine Kounovsky, a senior majoring in speech pathology, was the winner.

And according to the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), that's discrimination— discrimination brought about by the stigma of mental illness. In an effort to eliminate that stigma, NAMI has launched a five-year campaign to educate the public about mental illness and challenge the negative stereotypes that go with it. One of the first steps the 140,000 member organization has taken is to institute a change in the wording used to refer to those afflicted with illnesses such as schizophrenia and manic-depression.

made in the past 30 years, the stigma remains. Ruth Daubenspeck, president of NAMI's Oklahoma City chapter, said the answer lies in educating the public. Chapter members participated in a nationwide candlelight vigil Oct. 6 to encourage awareness of the anti-stigma campaign. "We feel like the secret to removing the stigma is education," said Daubenspeck. She and other members dedicate themselves to such education by speaking at schools, churches and other organizations. Daubenspeck lobbies the Oklahoma legislature on mental health issues and has been to Washington, D.C. three times to discuss the importance of research and education with U.S. senators. "The stigma is definitely there," she said, adding that it is less prevalent in areas like the East and West Coasts. "The population is more educated about it there." She said she believes small towns have a bigger problem with the stigma and

discrimination issues than large cities like Oklahoma City and Tulsa. As a whole, Daubenspeck said there is still a long way to go before the stigma carried by brain disorders is eradicated. She said she holds Hollywood responsible for much of the American public's perception of people afflicted with brain disorders. According to NAMI, the depiction of psychotic killers in many horror movies is not an accurate portrayal of a mental patient. Violence among people with brain disorders is not common. In reality, they are more frequently the victims of crime than the perpetrators. "Hollywood has ruined it for us," said Daubenspeck. But there are efforts on that front to eliminate the stigma. She said many entertainment celebrities are afflicted with brain disorders. Patty Duke is a prime example, she said. The actress is a member of NAMI and has openly discussed her bipolar disorder on television and in her best-selling

When celebrities speak about their experiences with brain disorders, it makes a tremendous impact on the public, said Daubenspeck. But public figures can also have an adverse affect. She cited a recent article in which Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating used the term "schizophrenic" several times to describe various political figures. People use the word to describe others who can't make up their minds or who have a split personality, she said. Such use is inaccurate and enhances the stigma, so she promptly wrote to Keating to inform him of his mistake. "He wrote me back and apologized," she said, "But it
wasn't long after that I saw him on TV and he used the word `schizophrenic' again." Of all the problems mental illness stigma brings about, Daubenspeck said the most important is that of health insurance coverage. "Insurance companies won't acknowledge that mental illness is a physical problem," she said. NAMI concurs with her assessment, stating that when illness strikes any other organ of the body, insurance covers treatment, yet when illness strikes the brain, full coverage is rarely available. Schizophrenia and epilepsy rates are almost the same, but health insurers fully cover epilepsy and leave people with schizophrenia to rely on public assistance. It's a frustrating dilemma, said Daubenspeck. "I tell all my friends, 'You can get sick from the neck down, but don't dare get sick from the neck up."' For more information on brain disorders, call NAMI at 1-800-950-6264.

Golf cart catches fire One UCO telephone technician got quite a surprise last Wednesday morning while he was driving a golf cart on campus. Jim Stubblefield, assistant telecommunications technician and Rob Mallur, a student worker, were headed toward the Math and Computer Science Building when Stubblefield noticed that his seat was getting hot. He stopped the cart east of Murdaugh Hall and discovered that the cart was on fire. He alerted his supervisor, who grabbed the fire extinguisher and put out the fire. "Somebody evidently has been trying to hotwire it," said Stubblefield. He said that two wires were attached to the ignition and it shorted out and caught on fire. The telecommunications golf cart is usually parked unattended on the east side of Murdaugh Hall.

Ruptured gas line causes evacuation By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
A
ruptured gas line caused by a back hoe working on the Howell Hall/University Center addition called for the evacuation of Howell Hall, the Home Economics Building and the Scene Shop on Oct. 11. The evacuation was a safety precaution, said Christy Schmidtke, construction manager for Sverdrup. The accident occurred at approximately 1 p.m. as the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges was having a luncheon in the University Center. UCO Department of Public Safety Chief Jim Roberts kept
an eagle's eye view of the area from the framed-in second floor of the University Center addition. UCO facilities management/ environmental safety worker Guy Thal was on hand to check for dangerous levels of gas, but the air remained safe, he said. Schmidtke said there was little danger to students and others in the area. "Unless it blows," she said. If there was a fire, it would take the form of a fireball that would stay confined to the immediate area and then go down, she said. The line that ruptured was not spotted on the plans excavators were using. Another line that was on the blueprint was located
and workers dug around it, but hit the one lurking beside it. Most of the construction crew got an-unexpected, if tense, break, but a group of about five got busy digging for the valve to shut off the gas. They stopped digging when they realized "it's not here. (There is ) a little misinformation here, I think," said one of the workers. Schmidtke realized they were following the plans for the pipe that was identified and therefore not hit. Oklahoma Natural Gas workers went to locate the complete plans, but by about 2 p.m., facilities management supplied a machine to crimp the pipe in order to stop the flow of gas, said Schmidtke.

My DEGREE GOT ME THE INTERVIEW. ARMY ROTC GOT ME THE JOB Things got pretty competitive for this job. I'm sure my college degree and good grades kept me in the running. But in the end it was the leadership and management experience I got through Army ROTC that won them over. Army ROTC taught me responsibility, discipline and leadership.

Lady Bronchos end homestand with sweep By Joel Reagan
Sports Editor
The Central Oklahoma volleyball team finished off their five-game homestand with two conference wins this weekend at the Hamilton Field House. The Lady Bronchos, 13-4 (8-3 in the Lone Star Conference), defeated Angelo State (Texas) Friday night in four games, 1513, 13-15, 16-14, 15-6. The Bronchos completed the sweep by downing Abilene Christian (Texas) 10-15, 15-8, 15-9 and 15-13. In Friday's contest, senior Stacey Schwartz and junior Kate O'Neill had 18 kills each to lead the team. Sophomore Amber

overcome some mistakes, don't get your head down and come back. "I thought we played some pretty good football in the second half." After UCO opened the second half by giving up the ball on downs, Abilene wide receiver Rodney Lauderdale coughed up the ball at the UCO 29-yard line after a four-yard catch. The ball bounced around until Broncho defensive end Dan Samara grabbed it at the 28. Gaines, who had his longest run of the day of 34 yards on the previous drive, made up all of the 28. He scampered 16 yards to the 13, then carried the ball 12 yards to the one. On first-and-goal, he was denied by the 'Cat defense. On his next try he stretched the ball over the goal line for a 14-6 UCO lead with 8:01 left in the third quarter. The UCO defense limited Central Oklahoma senior tailback Jubarko Gaines looks for running room in UCO's 38-21 win over Texas A&M-Commerce ACU to 10 first downs, four in Oct. 5.

We came out trying to pass, but we couldn't pass, so we had to run it. We ran it right at them. — Jubarko Gaines senior tailback
The two teams started quickly as they each scored touchdowns in the first quarter. UCO drove 49 yards in six plays on their first possession, capped by Gaines' one-yard touchdown run. Pena got the offense going by tossing a 19-yard pass to tight end Derek Elmore to the UCO 28. The gain was the longest of the day in the passing game. Gaines carried three times for
22 yards, taking the ball just shy of the goal line. He followed left guard Aaron Roberson's block into the end zone. Place-kicker Ronnie Gulikers, who kicked a 44-yard field goal in the fourth, hit the point after for a 7-0 lead. The drive was set up when senior linebacker Terry Bell, who scored the go-ahead touchdown on special teams last week against Texas A&MCommerce, partially blocked ACU punter Michael Freeman's kick. The block gave UCO the ball inside ACU territory at the 49. Abilene responded with an 80-yard, 11-play drive, ended with Bennett's four-yard touchdown run. On the extra point attempt, an illegal substitution penalty moved the ball from the three to the nine-yard line. Then Norman penetrated the Abilene line to block the kick. The block left UCO with a 7-6 lead, which held up through early in the third quarter.

UCO travels to Kingsville for LSC test By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer
The road to the Lone Star Conference title runs through Kingsville, Texas, and the Central Oklahoma football team will pass through on Saturday. No. 2 UCO faces Texas A&M-Kingsville, eighth-ranked in NCAA Division II in a road trip. The Javelinas have won the conference title four straight years. Central will try to erase memories of last year's 27-21 homecoming loss to TAMUK, third-ranked a year ago. With the score tied at 21-all
in the third quarter, Javelina quarterback Oktay Basci and receiver Karl Williams connected on a TAMUK-record 95-yard pass play for the game's winning points. Kingsville returns two firstteam all-conference selections, Kingsville native Basci and senior linebacker Chris Hensley. Basci, a junior this year, passed for 1,876 yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last season. UCO running backs coach George Hauser said the team will prepare well for the game.

Former single parent offers legal advice By Lisa Tatum
Staff Writer
T
wenty-three years as a lawyer isn't the only experience that qualifies Randel Shadid to give legal advice to members of UCO's Single Parents on Campus (SPOC). The Edmond attorney is a former single parent himself. Shadid, who raised two sons by himself for six years, answered legal questions from single parents during the October SPOC meeting. Finding a qualified attorney is the first step in successfully resolving legal disputes, said Shadid. But he warned the
audience that many lawyers today are not trustworthy. The comment prompted one single parent to ask, "Where do you go to find a good lawyer?" Shadid suggested contacting legal referral services that match clients' needs with specific attorneys. As the former Edmond mayor discussed legal problems affecting single parents such as mediation, visitation and credit problems, questions from the audience made it clear that the major legal concern of single parents today is child support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the lack thereof. Using a sample child-support guideline, Shadid demonstrated the
formulas used by the courts to decide the amount a parent will pay. "These guidelines work both ways," he said. "If the dad's got custody, mom pays child support." However, settling the child support amount is not the biggest hurdle that custodial parents face, he said. Collecting it is. With the audience nodding in agreement, he offered assurance that there are remedies for collecting child support. "Cite them for contempt," he suggested, explaining that a money judgment can then be obtained against them. If that doesn't get results, jail may be

the solution, he said. "Judges put both men and women in jail," he said. "It's amazing how quickly money materializes when someone is sitting in jail." Shadid said about one-third of his practice is devoted to domestic law. His professional experiences with child custody cases have left him with some strong opinions about deadbeat dads. It is an unfortunate situation when a father is more concerned about money than his child, he said. "When that happens I want to grab them across the table and punch them out."

Out with the old... Weezer gets 'dirty' in Pinkerton T
he Weezer of old is gone.... Or covered up at least. The ultra-tight, Beach Boys of the '90s sound that launched Weezer to super-star status has been replaced with a substantially looser sound. Two years after their initial hit,Weezer released Pinkerton last week and it's evident after the first song that Weezer has undergone some serious changes
for the better. No personnel changes, but the new style sounds as if the bubble-gum boys of Weezer have been listening to too much music of the Pavement ilk since 1994. The songs on their newest album are all fast-paced songs but with this new, slinkier style, in the tradition of bands like Pavement. The old Weezer is still
evident, it's just more in the background. Covering up that happy and, dare I say, square sound makes for a less less poppy and more controlled and more mature sound. Pinkerton is Weezer's best attempt yet, even for fans of the first album simply because the essence of Weezer is still there, it's just more laid back and smoother on the edges. Not only does this add a new twist to the Weezer experience, but it makes for a fantastic album. —By John Clanton Editor in Chief

Candidates discuss deficit, wages

Staff Writer
dr-41 andidates from the 5th Congressional District U.S. House participated in the "Economy and Other Issues" forum Oct. 8 at the University Center Ballroom. Ava Kennedy an independent of the Natural Law Party,'James L. "Buzz" Forsythe, democrat, and Republican incumbent Ernest Istook, exchanged views on the state economy. They offered different solutions on problems like the federal budget deficit and Social Security and Medicare entitlements. The symposium was prefaced by observations from two state economists. Dr. Joe Johnson, director of the Center for Urban Economic And Business Analysis and Robert Dauffenbach, director of the University of Oklahoma Center for Economic and Management Research, have conducted extensive research on Oklahoma's economy. President George Nigh opened the forum with a brief introduction, in which he said it's not only important to "get the vote, but to get an informed vote." "A democracy depends on an informed electorate," Nigh said. Johnson suggested topics the candidates could address on the economy. "We would like to know how they read the public on entitlements and the long view of inflation and unemployment. "At what rate should we save?" Johnson continued. "How much should we forgo on consumption for investment... and how much should we commit versus how much we should give up now?" Kennedy was the first candidate to take the floor. She said the Natural Law Party's focus is more on health care rather than disease care. By embracing "preventive health care," Kennedy said the government could save approximately $500 billion. "If we could educate people to act in harmony with nature's laws, problems would be solved," Kennedy said. Kennedy advocates community stress reduction clinics that would act as peacekeeping forces in neighborhoods. To Forsythe, economic growth is a direct result of investment in education. Forsythe also attacked the Republicans on both welfare and Medicare.

"Buzz" Forsythe; and Rep. Ernest lstook. (Staff photo by Lacy Amen)
"You can tell a lot about a country by the way it treats its children and women," he said. Forsythe said the needs of children have to be considered in welfare issues. Single mothers should only be denied benefits if "it can be determined that it was the fault of the child," he said. Istook countered with the argument that one has to draw a line between public benefits and "reforming the disability constitution." "The economy is not an abstract notion but what's real for our families," Istook said. "One man's recession is another man's depression." Istook said that attitudes play a big part in how people perceive and the economy and the work ethic. "One has to have the internal drive, the commitment and the work ethic...to sacrifice now so as to benefit later," Istook said. The role of a representative of the people is to ensure that their take-home pay does not fall into the hands of the government, he said. Istook defended receiving financial support from political action committees (PAC). "I think the question to ask is 'Are you representing your constituents and citizens in the states you seek to represent (when you receive PAC money)?" James Barrow, a political science junior, said he thought the debate went
well. "The candidates had a chance to give their opinions on various issues brought up by voters," Barrow said. Although Barrow admits he doesn't know much about economics, he doesn't expect the candidates to give a layman's interpretation of it either, he said. "It would require more time than is given," he said.
Barrow already knows who he'd vote for on Nov. 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Istook. "I believe in his tax policies; that a decrease in tax rate will increase government revenue," he said. Barrow's sentiments are echoed by Ben Harris, speaker of UCO's Student Government Association. However, Harris said he was disappointed that there were more indepth conversations about Medicare and Social Security than there were about issues that affect the young. Harris also saw a weakness in the recent minimum wage hike. He said it's worthless to increase the minimum wage because it only hurts the buying power of middle-class citizens. "Their dollar now buys less," Harris said. But what about the poor? "It won't help the poor either. It's only a quick fix," Harris said. Harris said that while 250 million people make up the middle class base, only one million are on minimum wage.

UCO photography students capture nostalgic, historical images of the Mother Road
Ninety photos on display at Donna Nigh Gallery By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
I
n central Oklahoma, three children crouch on an abandoned road so weather-beaten that it resembles a ribbon of cracked ice. Down the road, near Sapulpa, lay the ruins of an all but forgotten radium water well. Once a popular Mecca for tourists who come to bathe in the water, it is now capped for safety. The tombstone of Otto Chlebeck, a German prisoner. The site of the Murrah Building in downtown Oklahoma City in the shadow of the stark shell that is the ruins of the Water Resources Bureau. Nineteen UCO students have recorded these important, startling images, and more. The common thread linking these images is an Oklahoma icon. Route 66, the Mother Road. This celebrated 480 miles is the street Oklahoma grew up on. Ninety photos taken by students of Dr. "Woody" Gaddis last summer are on exhibit at the Donna Nigh Gallery on the fourth floor of the University Center.
UCO students and the public are invited to take in a sharp breath of recognition, even nostalgia, at the free exhibit, Facts, Faces and Phantoms, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through Oct. 22. After that, the photos go on the road to the Route 66 Museum in Clinton. One of the judges for the exhibit was the editor of Oklahoma Today magazine, Jeanne M. Devlin. Devlin was impressed enough with the work to run an eight-page spread on the exhibit in her November issue. The realization of the project and the attention it is generating are quite a coup for the photography students, said Gaddis. He said the making of Facts, Faces and Phantoms was sometimes also an adventure. One student, John Eagleston, spent three nights in his truck, said Gaddis, and Charlotte Mansfield performed her daily workout in the dark so that she would be ready to shoot when the sun came up. A coffee-table quality book is also planned, with proceeds to go to upgrading the photography department. Gaddis said he was 99 percent sure the book will happen.
The Sidewalk Highway by John Eagleston is just one of the
ninety photos on display at the Donna Nigh Gallery. The photos appeared in a feature article in Oklahoma Today magazine.
Campus invited to discuss issues in DebateWatch '96 By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer
Suppose you, as a good citizen and an informed voter, have made plans to spend this Wednesday night watching Clinton and Dole spar wits again on national TV. Suppose you, while stuffing your face with popcorn and taking down greasy notes, are struck with a question or a comment or a complaint about the candidates, the moderator, the audience, the TV station, the popcorn, etc. Suppose you turn to share that insight with someone else and find empty space—or vacant eyes—instead. You may find yourself wishing then how nice it would be in the company of like minds. Minds with whom you can conduct lengthy discourses about the debaters' delivery, strategy and biography. Or else wax lyrical about the sublimal influence of colors in the campaigners' wardrobe—or more specifically, how brown suits worked for Reagan and might not Clinton and Dole do with some help?
DebateWatch '96 is a meeting of such minds. Participants are encouraged to discuss the issues raised during the debate and relate them to their beliefs and values. This platform of nation-wide political dialogue is coordinated by The Commission on Presidential Debates. It is the first time such a forum is organized in an election year, a product of research conducted among 625 voters in the last election who had taken part in a national focus group. UCO's DebateWatch '96 begins at 8 p.m. Oct. 16 in Room 304 of the Education Building. A facilitator will lead the discussion and distribute questionnaires to participants. Their responses are then compiled and issued to the media within 36 hours to provide the public and politicians with "citizen feedback about election issues." And if those aren't reasons enough for you, light refreshments are also provided. UCO's DebateWatch '96 is organized by The Vista and the UCO Society of Professional Journalists.

Academic technology plan presented Teaching loads, enrollment and mentoring discussed By Cynthia Chung
Staff Writer Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, unveiled a five-part plan to revitalize the university's academic mission at the Faculty Senate meeting Oct. 10. The "Academic Technology Plan," as Jacob calls it, seeks to raise the academic standards of UCO to be on par with Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. The five pillars of the plan are: •To re-examine the university's academic mission. •To develop technological skills among faculty by organizing seminars, workshops and training sessions on the Internet. •To enhance program development and re-examine proposals. •To create faculty development opportunites in the form of sabbaticals and leave of absences. The creation of endowed professorships and chairs is another aspect Jacob said UCO will look into. •To encourage an atmosphere of respect, civility and collegiality. Dr. Roberta Sloan, faculty senate
president and chairwoman of the department of theater arts, said the senate has three primary goals this academic year: 'Faculty teaching loads A proposal is on the floor that nine hours be considered a full load for professors who teach graduate classes. The plan also calls for professors who mix graduate and undergraduate classes to take 12 hours to constitute a full load, while departmental chairs need only shoulder six hours. The task force appointed to address the issue of equitable teaching loads is a joint effort between the Office of Academic Affairs and the Faculty Senate. Two representatives for each college make up the committee, Sloan said. 'Student enrollment decline A task force has also been established to pinpoint possible sources of UCO's waning enrollment figures. At its first meeting, three suggestions were brought to the table: a) To enlist a male minority recruiter to complement the two females already on staff. b) To offer a beginning course for all freshmen that they can claim for college credit; a semester-long session that covers
orientation, study tips and ways to cope with college life. c) Proposals that assist and improve the academic guidelines of the university. Jerry Legere, registrar of admissions and records and committee member, enumerated facts on the enrollment slack as well as the myths that surround it. Myth 1: That increases in first-time freshmen figures are directly related to total enrollment numbers. Fact: This year, UCO enjoyed the highest surge in freshmen numbers while experiencing another decline in total enrollment statistics. Myth 2: That growth of first-time transfer student enrollment is synonymous with that of total enrollment. Fact: First-time transfer student enrollment has been on a downward trend for six years in a row, while total enrollment has registered a boost in two previous years. Myth 3: That UCO is becoming an increasingly part-time student campus. Fact: Both undergraduate and graduate full-time students comprise a larger percentage of total enrollment than parttimers. Full-time students, who constituted 61 percent of the student body in 1990, stood at 65 percent in 1995.
Myth 4: That students do not enroll in afternoon classes. Fact: In a five-year period,from 1990 to 1005, the number of students who opt for afternoon sessions jumped from 3,800 to 5,900. Myth 5: That the Africn American population has stabilized. Fact: The minority base among African Americans has not kept pace with the total enrollment in the last six years, and Legere is at a loss to explain why. •Mentoring of students Each department would be responsible for creating a mentoring program for their students to ensure and promote their success, Sloan said. The Faculty Senate president said she was pleased with the points brought up by Jacob and saw potential in the proposed "Academic Technology Plan." For a long time, the focus at the university was on capital improvement, and Sloan said she was glad to see the shift of attention return to the academic mission.

HAMILTON, N.Y.—Colgate University students on an archeological dig may have found the oldest pieces of pottery ever discovered in northeastern North America. While spading in a prehistoric Indian site in central New York, the students found brittle sherds or fragments of pottery that may be 4,000 years old. If valid, the students' findings could change the date that scientists believe Indians first made pottery in this part of the world—about 3,400 years ago. The pottery pieces were found in a hearth along with charcoal, burned rock and other remains, said Jordan E.
Kerber, a Colgate anthropology professor. Kerver has led archeology students on digs since he first opened the Indian site in 1991. "While the sherds cannot be radiocarbon-dated because they lack carbon, they were associated in the hearth which was about 4,000 years old," Kerber explained. "One sherd has a faint checkerboard design etched on its outer wall. Another has a preserved thumb print." In past years, students have discovered arrowheads, knives and thousands of stone flakes, or residue from when prehistoric Indians fashioned tools. Students report their findings to archeologists working in the area and also to the Oneida Indian nation.
inancial Aid's off-campus work study employees dropped from 12 last year to one for the fall semester. Financial aid records show that 1,313 students were granted work study for the fall semester. Human resource records show one person is employed in an off-campus work study job. Sheila Fugett, director of financial aid, said there may be two reasons why students are not using the program: •Not knowing about the program •Not realizing the benefits of the program Students are able to gain experience they may not get with an on campus job, said Fugett. Fugett said this program "provides a window to opportunity" many students need to find a job after college. A federal mandate requires that 5 percent of federal work study funds be used for
community service oriented jobs offcampus. The program has been in effect for three years. Students must qualify (have been awarded federal work study) for the program, said Fugett. The personnel office handles job placement for federal work study students. Some of the participating organizations are Hope Center, Department of Human Services and Project Read. Christmas in April and MRM Community Development are two new organizations that are inquiring about the program to personnel. "This is a really positive project," said Blanche Washington, director of human resources. It allows all majors the opportunity to gain experience, said Washington. —By Telannia. Hytche

Flu shots available on campus By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer
Something besides the Monarch butterflies are in the air. They do not have wings, they are far from pretty and they are invisible to the eye. While the butterflies pollinate, these bodies contaminate; while the former are a welcome sight, the latter have overstayed their welcome long before they come knocking at the door. They are the flu viruses, and they have names: say hello to Wuhan, Beijing and Texas. Health experts predict they will be here early this year, more powerful than ever. Viruses are parasites that feed off the life of living organisms. Once outside their host
environment, which they depend on for sustenance and energy, viruses cease to live. It takes about two weeks for a flu shot, which comprises strains of all three viruses, to produce antibodies in the immune system. Nursing student Anna Kalbert prepares to People 65 and give Edmond resident Cynthia Sipes a flu older and/or have shot at Edmond Hospital.
