New UCO pay lot justified? By Roy Howe Staff Writer Anger was quick to greet some students last Wednesday as they found the parking lot east of the University Center manned with toll attendants for the first time. Students who were using the lot didn't understand it is was not designed for student or staff parking, said A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services. "That lot has always been a metered lot for University Center business only," he said. Rahman said the 468 space lot was purchased by Auxiliary Services to provide places for customers of the University Center, for visitors to the campus who are not allowed to park in the places designated for UCO students, faculty or staff. "We have over 200,000 people per year who are not students who attend the University Center for conferences, meetings, special training, banquets and continuing education," Rahman said. "They need a place to park." Students may ask if their tuition helps pay for this parking area. "No state funds are given to Auxiliary Services," Rahman said. "It's part of the campus because it serves the campus population, but it gen-

erates its own revenue," he said. Six employees man the lot and are paid from the Auxiliary Services budget. The pay lot has six places to enter and two exits. Students can park in the lot if they are willing to pay, Rahman said. "I've had some students who only take one class and say 'I don't mind parking in the pay lot."' Rahman said the pay lot should be no surprise to anyone as signs stating "soon to be pay lot" have surrounded the area for 18 months. He also said that pay areas are found at almost all colleges and universities and that UCO's is one of the most reasonably priced. The new lot's hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will usually be open to anyone for no charge on the weekends. The rates to park at the new lot range from no charge for the first 30 minutes to $4.50 for more than seven hours. Parking decals for UCO students to park in the various designated areas cost $25 per year or $15 per semester. After 5 p.m., commuter students with a valid parking permit can park anywhere on campus except those designated for handicapped, 24-hour reserve, maintenance, the pay lot or a resident space.

With the latest class schedule on the stands, students will soon line administration building halls to enroll in spring classes. But some changes in procedure have been enacted to ensure returning UCO students have priority when enrolling, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management/registrar. "In the past, for the first opportunity to enroll, UCO never made the distinction between whether you were already in school at UCO or whether you were a brand new person coming in," Legere said. "As a result, there could be a senior from another institution coming in and enrolling with our seniors, and it's very conceivable that in high demand courses, some of those seniors who weren't previously enrolled here could be taking seats away from our students." The solution was to create priority enrollment, where currently enrolled UCO students are first in line for classes. Seniors will be considered first among students, followed by juniors, sophomores and freshmen. "Priority becomes more and more important as students get up into their junior and senior years," Legere said. "Some classes fill quickly, and we want to make a commitment to those students who have continuously been pursuing their degree at UCO." Priority enrollment begins Nov. 2 for grad students and seniors and runs in order of classification and alphabetical listing until the day before Thanksgiving break, Nov. 22. Currently enrolled students, regardless of class or alphabetical listing, will be allowed one last "all" day, Nov. 28, before non-enrolled students begin to register. "Once the priority period is over, we'll move into early enrollment," Legere said. "That's where it's opened up to new students, new transfers, and continuing students who, for whatever reason, chose not to take advantage of their priority."

`Rock the vote' by rocking the boat?

n Oct. 13, The Vista and the American Association of University

Professors held a gubernatorial forum in the Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal Arts Building. All three candidates were invited. Like a rehash of a Three Stooges movie, what was seen at the forum was to be expected from 'typical sandbox politicians." Frank Keating, Republican candidate, arrived late, but showed. Independent Wes Watkins—along with his "I lived in a chicken house," good 'ole boy attitude and a vicious assortment of "I love my mother" stories— was there. Jack Mildren, Democrat and current lieutenant governor, chose not to show up. Instead, his brother/campaign manager, Richard, took the podium for him. Was Mildren too "tired" for the voters of Oklahoma (like his brother suggested), or was he really out rounding up contributions from a more affluent audience? This knocks Mildren's candy-coated "open door" gubernatorial platform flat on its absentee rear. The ever-tardy Keating, on the other hand, was not swayed from his course, knowing that the "big purse" contributors would not be crowding the theater for this event, despite trite jokes during the forum. Even former U.S. congressman Watkins knows that education is important enough to voters for him to attend (even if he did call UCO students the youth of America," when the average age of students here is over 27...). The point is, here or not, all candidates said things they thought we, Oklahoma voters, wanted to hear. As in any political discussion, their rhetoric twisted listener's emotions, hoping to spur them to "vote for me!" while bashing the current office holder. Most people know that candidates will say things any person with two feet and a heart beat would run to the polls to endorse, but now, candidates must also fill their words with substance and reason. "I will dramatically restructure welfare... I will not let this (or that) unbearable atrocity happen... There will not be any more taxes...There will be tax breaks for all business.„" Etc., etc., etc., blah, blah, blah„.

Exactly how are these things going to be done and why? And unlike many state news mediums, The Vista does not endorse any one candidate. It does, however, endorse knowledge and common sense. If there is no candidate with a credible enough stand—don't vote. It's that simple. Attend meetings, debates, watch shows, read literature. Follow them through. We are the gatekeepers—and should not let just "any" candidate get so far along in the election process. Has there ever been an election without the two main parties represented? maybe we should lay party lines aside instead of insisting on somebody, anybody, like usual. The residents of Oklahoma are not fools, believing any big promise thrust at them from empty arms. If we really want to change government, electing the "less idiotic" of the bunch will not get it done. Don't 'just settle" for any person that could control our government. Let our current political leaders know that the sickening game of mud slinging and the lofty "holier-than-thou" A attitudes will not be entertained any longer by this weary audience.

Student wants transit system on campus

M

y name is Anthony Johnson. I am a junior History/Pre Law major that would like to see some action take place on this campus for a cause worthy to be heard. Last Sunday, I injured my foot, which made my life a living "hell". Trying to get around the construction and to the Liberal Arts Building is extremely tiring.

An idea that I am proposing is to construct some sort of transit system to assist the many handicapped people who can't get to class because of their situation. As we have Operation Safewalk for the people who can walk, can't there also exist some type of system that assists those who can't? Only beneficial outcomes will result from this: one, handicapped students which otherwise couldn't go to class can;

and two, more on-campus jobs will be created. I have written the president and now see no reason why this proposal cannot be materialized, if not immediately, because after all, the school should be an advocate and supporter of its students to exist! —Anthony Johnson

y letter is in response to recent letters you published regarding the Student Government Association's (SGA) policy used in the impeachment attempt against SGA President Ben Harris, specifically the most current of these, written by Amy Melvin, UCO SGA Senator. From my perspective, it seems like the SGA has spent more time debating the legality of President Harris' actions than addressing student concerns. "Personal bickering" as Harris called it,zappears to be the only thing you and your fellow senators can accomplish. As I see it, this conflict could've been resolved weeks ago, but thanks to your "procedural correctness," as you referred to it, pre-

cious time has been wasted arguing over punishment or some consequence for the president's actions. Please do not personally think of an infinite list of student concerns that rank much higher than your petty charges against Harris. Please, he admitted using the student's I.D. number to access personal academic information. If this were an outlandish offense as say, speeding (if I might borrow Ms. Melvin's illustration), signs would've been posted and then possibly his credibility could be in jeopardy. (Or maybe the president should be allowed the authority to access these records when his duties involve a personal background check such as this.) But since there were no warnings of this type and his only objective

was to determine which candidate he though would be most qualified as a Student Senator, he was only doing his job. And as far as I can see, he seems to be only of the few SGA members that are accomplishing this (not to disrepute the entire SGA, because I am sure that the majority of its members are working diligently to forget about this whole mess.) In closing, I hope that Amy Melvin and her other 12 allies will realize the pettiness of this time-wasting affair and get up off their "altar of procedural correctness" to realize that their official titles are Student Government Senators and not "nerdy sticklers to the rules." —Amy J. Snyder

This is the reason he gave for accessing privileged, private information. M ■,' question is 'did he also access this information on all the other candidates. If so, this would also be wrong, but at least he could plead consistency. If not, why was student Harjo singled out for this type of scrutiny and no one else? From this I conclude his justifications are flawed because his motives were flawed. The senate failed to respond properly to this incident and the administration seems content to wash its hands of the affair by leaving it in the hands of the students. From what Harwood

I'm sure there were those who at heart felt a wrong had been done but failed to speak out for of being ostracized. It doesn't matter which group Harjo conies from. In my view you could insert any other group name in the blank and the obvious wrong becomes clear. As for his qualifications. that is a mute issue. because his qualifications or lack thereof would have been revealed through the normal process of confirmation. Therefore, it can be concluded that Harris intentionally accessed Harjo's information to serve his own purposes. The fact that the senate failed to act doesn't vindicate him. It just, effec-

The issue is should he be denied the same respect and dignity that we all want. I'm reminded of something I read... - in order for evil to triumph all that is required is for good men to do nothing" or something like that. What I'm saying is we don't have to agree with someone else's culture, preference or creed but we should at least respect their right to not have to defend themselves for who or what they are. Intolerance is not justifiable in this case. I believe a wrong has occurred that should be addressed. An apology is due at the least. —Victor L. Foster

UC planning gspooktacular' pre-Halloween fright nights By Mike Erwin

Staff Writer The first floor of the University Center is haunted. At least it will be the evenings of Oct. 28 and 29. Auxiliary Services will host a Halloween party that will include a spook house and dance Saturday night, said Missy Hunter, University Center activities director. The spook house will be scaring visitors

from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Following that, there will be a dance in the Oklahoma Room until midnight. Those interested in attending the dance must wear a costume, said Hunter. Both the spook house and the dance are free. UCO faculty, staff and support personnel are invited. On Friday, the UCO Child Development Center will be bringing its children through the spook house from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The annual tour of the McClellanKerr-Arkansas River Navigation System, sponsored by the U.S. Department of the Army Corps of Engineers, the State of Oklahoma Department of Transportation's Waterways Branch and the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, was undertaken Oct. 5-6. The tour's purpose was to promote the state's waterways as a gateway to the world and as a significant factor in

Oklahoma's efforts to globalize its economy, said Mr. Powers. "One of the things we learned is that it costs 20 cents to haul a bushel of grain 120 miles by truck," he said, "while a barge on the navigation system can haul that same bushel 1,000 miles." Mrs. Powers said the opportunity to visit the pilot house of a tugboat and talk to a pilot was very interesting. "The pilot must be conscious of currents, passing areas, the depth of the channel, the wind and his engine," she said. Noting water transportation requires less fuel burned per pound of freight than any other form of transportation, Mr. Powers said, "Oklahoma can be proud of this major asset, and we encourage all businesses that can to utilize this form of transportation."

Eye laser may cure nearsightedness WASHINGTON (AP) — An experimental laser that zaps cells off could give nearsighted Americans an alternative to the knife for correcting their vision. Many doctors tout the excimer laser as a better alternative to conventional eye surgery. but others warned a government panel Oct. 24 that it also poses danger to eye patients and should be used cautiously. The panel, an advisory committee to the Food and Drug Administration, is considering whether the first excimer laser, one produced by Summit Technology Inc.. should be allowed for sale in this country, "It is at least equal to and probably better" than current alternatives, said Dr. Stephen Trokel of the American Society for Cataract and Refractive Surgery, who performed the world's first laser excimer procedure. But other doctors told the panel that some of the same problems, including a failure to provide 20-20 vision, infection and scarring, do pose a risk. They said that improved versions of the laser to counter such dangers are slowly working their way toward FDA.

Coors no longer offering free beer GOLDEN. Colo. (AP) — It's the right beer — later. Coors Brewing Co. has decided to end its century-old policy of providing free beer to employees on the job. six months after an employee who got drunk at work died in a car accident. Workers will no longer be allowed to drink unlimited amounts of beer during breaks, lunches and the half-hour after work. They will be restricted to two 12-ounce beers in the half-hour after their shift ends, and drinking will be confined to specific areas. Coors spokesman Joe Fuentes said the change, which was announced Oct. 12 and will take effect Oct. 24. was not related to the accident. He said it was aimed at encouraging employees to drink in moderation. "Just like our consumers practice moderation, we're asking our employees to make right choices in the workplace, Fuentes said. The Golden-based brewery — whose advertising slogan is "It's the right beer now" — has had the free beer policy for more than 100 years. Coors is the only one of the top five U.S. breweries to have retained the tradition imported from Europe. The other four — Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Stroh and G. Heileman — eliminated on-the-job drinking privileges in the mid-1980s, but offer employees free or discounted products to take home.

IRS rejects slave descedents claims WASHINGTON (AP) — Descendants of slaves are not eligible for the modern equivalent of 40 acres and a mule, the Internal Revenue Service says. The IRS has rejected about 20,000 claims for $43,209 each in what the filers say are reparations for their ancestors' enslavement and continuing discrimination against blacks. Congress passed a bill in 1866 requiring that Confederate property be confiscated to provide former slaves with 40 acres and a mule. But it was vetoed by President Andrew Johnson. "There clearly is not statutory authority for honoring these claims," IRS spokesman Frank Keith said Wednesday. "We have taxpayers that are being misled and that's unfortunate." He warned that taxpayers who refile subsequent claims after receiving a denial notice could be subject to a $500 penalty for filing frivolous returns. Many of the tax forms have come in attached to a copy of a commentary published in the April 1993 issue of the blackoriented magazine Essence, the IRS said. Written by L.G. Sherrod, the commentary argued that racial discrimination functions as a hidden tax and urged readers to fill out their Form 1040s as if they had paid $43,209 in "black taxes" and thereby collect a delinquent tax rebate.

Legere said the early enrollment, which runs from Nov. 29 to Jan. 6, gives new students an opportunity to get into choice classes, without jeopardizing the seniority of currently enrolled students. UCO students who have previously enrolled, but did not take classes this fall, will have to wait until early enrollment, he said. Another change in enrollment procedure is the postponement of the drop/add only day. "In the past, with fee payment due on a Friday, after we canceled students out [for nonpayment of fees], the following Monday, many came back and re-enrolled.

"We as an institution were really rewarding people for not doing what they were supposed to. "We were giving them a chance to recover not only their classes, but someone else's class if, maybe, they weren't completely satisfied." Last fall, Legere said, 1,712 students were canceled because they neglected to pay fees. "Within a three week period, 62 percent of them re-enrolledthat's over a thousand students. On the first day of add/drop, 363 of them re-enrolled." With the new policy, those students who have paid their fees by the Jan. 6 deadline will have first "dibs" on adding and drop-

ping courses Jan. 9, he said. Students who are canceled from classes because they owe money to the university will be able to re-enroll during open enrollment, which runs Jan. 10 through 13. Students who change their schedules will be charged $3 for

each add or drop, he said. Late enrollment begins Jan. 16, the first day of spring semester classes, and ends Jan. 27. Students enrolling during this time will be charged a $20 late fee. Legere said more than 96 percent of all students will have already enrolled by this time, making class selection extremely limited.

Six years later it was different story. In a game marred by a succession of UCO errors and penalties, the No. 10-ranked Bronchos needed a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive but ran into a brick wall-the Angelo State defense. The Rams held the hamstrung Broncho offense to 198 total yards and out of the end zone cruising to a 22-3 victory before 8,500 homecoming fans. The absence of right guard Mike Filson and right tackle Chance Nelson enabled the Rams defense to put pressure on UCO quarterback Stanley Pena, sacking him five times. Pena was just 6-of-17 passing for 73 yards on the night. Pena was without UCO's top reciever, junior split end Tony Bryson, who missed the game with an injured ankle. The Bronchos were also without starting tight end Lewis Griffin. Harlon Hill Trophy candidate Joe Aska and the Broncho offense, were held without a touchdown for the second consecutive game. Aska was able to gain 117 yards on 25 carries, marking his fifth 100-yard plus game this season. Aska split time with reserve tailback Karl Myles, who rushed for 45 yards on 14 carries. ASU used a no-huddle offense driving 52 yards to get the first score of the game. Quarterback Mike Jinks got the TD with 8:44 left in the first quarter giving ASU a 6-0 lead after a missed extra point. The Bronchos then drove from their own 29 yard line to the ASU three yard line on a drive high-

TAMUK's league-leading offense (438.6 yards per game entering the contest) rolled up 416 yards against the Broncho defense. The Javelinas ruhed for 380 yards and scored five rushing touchdowns against a Broncho defense that had been allowing just 146 yards on the ground. TAMUK's 380 yards on the ground was the most that UCO has given up since 1990 when TAMUK amassed 410. It was the first shutout loss for UCO since 1990.

"I'm not the best looking candidate in the race and I'm sure not the slickest on television," Watkins said, "but I know my motives are right and my agenda is right." Watkins ran for governor in 1990 after leaving a seat in Congress. He said he entered politics to help the state. "I'm running as an Independent because I want you to know that Wes Watkins will not be owned or controlled by a political party, by a political boss or by special interest groups," he said.

andidates for the state's top spot met for the second time in less than two weeks at UCO to discuss their stand on the issues that face higher education:

Change. "Governmental change" were the buzzwords at the gubernatorial gathering which featured Independent candidate Wes Watkins, Republican candidate Frank Keating, and Richard Mildren who sat in for his brother Jack Mildren. Mildren is seeking the seat on the Democratic ticket. Sponsored by the American Association for University Professors and The Vista, the candidates met in the Pegasus Theatre Oct. 13 and answered pre-submitted questions. UCO's AAUP President Tom Guild, professor of business, moderated the forum which saw more than 100 spectators comprised of students, faculty and concerned citizens.

* ******************* Why would the faculty and students be better off in the next four years for electing you?

******************** — W atkins said he wants to assure students that they will be prepared for a global environment once they graduate, if he is elected. He also said the economy must be strengthened to allow students work once they graduate. "We haven't built the job opportunities for college graduates to look forward to," he said. * WATKINS said state change must include worker's compensation revisions, right to work and more global competitions.

* RICHARD MILDREN said he and his brother realize the importance of higher education to the future. "We're both from Texas," he said, "but chose to complete our education in Oklahoma because of its higher education system." He credited his brother's success, both on and off the football field, to an Oklahoma education. "More students are entering colleges and vo-techs because they realize its importance to their economic well being," Mildren said. "We need to make sure our higher education system is the best that we can have it and Jack Mildren will be that governor that will work toward that goal. "So, to the faculty and students here at UCO, Jack Mildren will be that governor that you can be proud of and be the best governor for higher education." * KEATING said he would provide tax credits to businesses who

hire Oklahoma graduates. "We graduate a lot of students from high school, but not that many from college," he said. "So let's provide a tax credit, 10 percent (for the first year) to hire Oklahoma graduates. Let's give a tax credit, dollar for dollar, for teachers to go back and get masters and doctorates." The ideas from both political parties must be combined, Keating said. "We in this state are at a real crossroads. We are seventh in the nation in poverty. There has never been a viable two-party system in Oklahoma. Since 1907, Oklahoma has been dominated by one party,"

Keating said. "And that's not goo( "We need a competitive two-party ideas will be competed for and voted, ties will be able to serve." Keating said that the bad statistic$ accident.

Students air frustrations during parking appeals By Roy Howe Staff Writer Students challenged their parking citations Thursday in front of the university's Parking, Appeals Board. The board mulled over 57 requests from students who wanted their tickets dismissed. Six students had their parking tickets dismissed, 19 people were put on a 60 working day probation and 34 had their citations upheld by the three member board. Several students appealed multiple tickets and 20 people filled out appeals but didn't show at the hearing—their tickets were upheld. The Parking Appeals Board consisted of two UCO students and a staff member. Student L.D. Brown challenged two tickets, one for an improperly located decal and another for parking in a space designated for handicapped students. "Both (permits) were lying in the seat," Brown said. The parking officer saw that. It was obvious to the person who ticketed me that the decals were in the seat," he said. Appeals board members told Brown that the student parking officers shouldn't have to go out of their way to find his decal if it is not affixed to his windshield or hanging from his rear view mirror. After first receiving probation for one ticket, both were finally dismissed when Brown pleaded he was too old to be placed on probation. "I'm sorry," Brown said laughing. "At my age it seems a little funny to be put on probation." Brown would not reveal his age to the board, but admitted he entered the Marine Corps in 1950 at the age of 17. Student Kayce McGinnis argued against a citation for parking in a faculty/staff area (F/S 10) located at the far end of the parking lot which is north of Ayers Blvd. and across from the Max Chambers Library.

Artist exposes work on home turf Internationally recognized native Oklahoma artist to exhibit artwork at UCO Staff Writer For the next three weeks, the Donna Nigh Gallery at UCO will have something in common with the Smithsonian Museum, the Vatican, the Gerald Ford Library and China's National Palace Museum. The connection is the artwork of Bert Seabourn, a Native-American artist from Oklahoma City. Monday night, the Donna Nigh Gallery opened its Bert Seabourn exhibition, which will be shown through Nov. 11. The gallery is on the fourth floor of the University Center. The exhibition features 48 works by Seabourn. Most are paintings or monoprints, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, director of the Donna Nigh Gallery. "He pulls his own prints," said Adams. "That's rare, especially for an artist of his stature." Seabourn's stature reaches all over the globe, judging by the countries in which he's exhibited. The list includes

France, Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Chile, Bolivia, P e r u Columbia, Ecuador and the United States. "It's really a big honor for us to have this show because he's renowned world-wide," OKC native said Adams. Seabourn's experiences as a NativeAmerican have a strong influence on his art work. "The themes I paint for the viewer to grasp are universal," said Seabourn. "There is a sense of being one with nature, that is part of my upbringing and it's at the root of all my work." Monday's opening night activities included a reception at which Seabourn signed specially-designed posters that were sold with proceeds going to the UCO Symphony's Scholarship Fund.

and artist Bert Seaborn Following the reception, the UCO Symphony Orchestra performed in Mitchell Hall. Former KOCO anchor Jayne Jayroe was a special guest conductor, using the same baton she used when she won the Miss America pageant. For those who missed the reception, the posters, called "Love in the Fast Lane," are still available. The posters are 54 by 54 inches and sell for $30. Order forms are available in the UCO Music Office.

Students interested in discussing career opportunities with potential employers will have that chance at UCO's 14th annual Career Day to be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 9 on the third and fourth floors of the University Center. Approximately 60 companies and government agencies are expected to attend Career Day this year. "Basically, it is covering a wide spectrum," said Jackie Durant, special events director, UCO college of business, of the different companies that will be at the event.

his is probably the most anticipated release of the year, as it would in any year R.E.M. puts something out. Monster was supposed to mark a return to form for the band, but all it manages to prove is that R.E.M. can still out rock most of the bands that have formed in the decade-long wake. For Monster, guitarist Peter Buck has shelved his acoustic instruments in favor of a straight electric "guitar rock" sound, adding a dash of tremolo in his guitar arsenal that only serves to muddle Buck's sound. R.E.M. has never made the same record twice and should be applauded for that, but almost all their records retained that melodic jingle-jangle guitar style. With Monster, the pristine melodies of the past are traded for a '60s garage rock style popularized by bands like The Sonics or The Count Five. If the band was at its' creative peak with 1992's Automatic For The People, Monster is their low point. This is R.E.M. plugging in and letting go, with less of an emphasis on the structure of the songs. Of course this record will sell astronomically but Monster still does not stand up to the bands' back-catalogue. Overall, Monster would be an incredible record for any other band but R.E.M. and did they really need to rewrite "Everybody Hurts" in Monster's "Strange Currencies?" In the song "Tongue," the band stretches out with vocalist Michael Stipe adopting an "Emotional Rescue" type Mick Jagger falsetto. R.E.M. does make a pretty decent garage rock band but you are better off putting on Reckoning or Murmur. (Warner Bros.)

LOVE AND ROCKETS Hot Trip To Heaven

DAVIS DANIEL Davis Daniel

C

ountry music is in a sad state of affairs when a Def Leppard look alike bandlike Little Texas is considered great country music. Soon a weeding out the rogues process will need to occur to separate the crap from the genuine artists. On his second record Davis Daniel shows he is a well spring of talent and quite the storyteller, one of the marks of a good songwriter. Daniel possesses a sweet emotional voice that makes these tales of heartbreak and longing more believable. His songs fare better when he sticks to the country side of things like "She Could Make a Freight Train Take a Dirt Road," and the ballad "Someone Else's Star." The record loses its' touch in the generic sounding "William and Mary," and "Shame On Me." At times, Daniels sounds like a countryfied James Taylor sliding into the '70s singer-songwriter vein, a place where country singers spend too much time in these days. Those country artists who took their musical cues from The Eagles are really missing the boat on the music. The Eagles were at best a severely watered down wanna-be country act. A couple of country stars like Davis Daniel and the genre might become respectable again. (Polydor)

n the five years since Love And Rockets last graced us with a new record many changes have occurred in the music world. Alternative music is a viable commodity now and "grunge" was still a small noise building momentum in the Pacific Northwest. In 1989 Love And Rockets were on top of the world with their hit single "So Alive," then disappeared. - During those five years, guitarist Daniel Ash and bassist David J released solo records that didn't even begin to match the magic of Love And Rockets. Finally the band returned with a new record label and a slightly new sound. Hot Trip To Heaven sees the band delve into a more ambient sound akin to bands like Spectrum, Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd or the Orb. It is useless to separate the songs because the record works only in its complete form. The songs flow into one another making this record a good hourlong trip for the listener on the wings of Ash's guitar soundscapes. is Love And Hot Trip To Heaven Rockets finest moment since their Express record. Unfortunately in the music business, five years is a long time between records, but maybe people will remember that at one time Love And Rockets was the alternative. (American)

Calling all nations S tudents join together to share their native heritage during International Wee By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

s students entered the ballroom of the University Center, the feeling of national pride was overwhelming.

International students from UCO celebrated the International Week's main events Oct. 20. During the day, 17 countries proudly displayed their heritage with crafts, cuisine, music and videos. Representatives from the Edmond Chamber of Commerce judged both the display and entertainment sections. The winning countries have their names engraved and displayed on a plaque in the international office. The winner for this year's exhibit was Pakistan. The display consisted of a replica of traditional arched doors that lead into Pakistani Mosques. It was

designed by Muhammad Saud Chishti, vice president of the Pakistan Students Association. Also on display were "Khusas," (shoes) and "sindhi topi," caps decorated with bead work and mirrors. The Pakistani students wore their traditional dress of "Lacha"

represent the students, not themselves. What is my platform? Your money. A student enrolled in 15 hours of classes paid the university $60 in student activity fees. I want to see the students receive the full benefit of that money. Right now over $1,000 a week of student money is pulled out so organizations can rent rooms in the University Center that require no setup and little maintenance. My question is, "Why must students pay money to use the University Center—a building which was built for them?"

Staff Writer By the time the sun falls behind the tower at Old North on Friday, UCO will have a new student body vice president. Only two students are running for the position, however. They are Adam Harwood and Scott Davenport. Ben Harris, Student body President, fought to get a vice president's contingency approved in the Student Government Association (SGA) budget earlier this year. Now it is up to the students to decide which candidate can use it for their advantage. The vice president will be asked to go beyond his duties and become more involved in recruitment, Harris said. The ballot boxes will rotate the campus tomorrow, Thursday and Friday to provide convenience for students wishing to vote. The locations are at the University Center tomorrow morning and Thursday afternoon, at the Liberal Arts Building tomorrow afternoon and Thursday morning, and

the Education Building Friday morning.

UCO dean evaluates higher ed for nationa committee By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer

Dr. G.K. Powers

(Photo by Dan Smith)

On her first official North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCACS) trip, Dr. G. K. Powers, dean of UCO's college of mathematics and science, recently served as a consultant-evaluator for the Commission on Institutions and Higher Education for the NCACS. Powers visited Emporia State University (ESU) at Emporia, Kansas, where she served on a sixmember accreditation team. As an NCACS team member, Powers was responsible for the evaluation of ESU's general education program, its college of liberal arts and science and the physical appearance of buildings on the facility. "The function of a consultantevaluator is to make recommenda-

tions regarding accreditation of an institution," said Powers. NCACS accredited schools are nationally recognized for their academic programs. "A degree is worth more from an accredited school," she said. In order for a school to remain accredited, it must meet established guidelines and standards set by NCACS. Teams of consultant-evaluators review accredited schools every few years and make recommendations for how the school can improve, said Powers. UCO was last visited by an NCACS review team during the fall of 1993. Good reports from the team allowed the university to remain accredited. There are over 700 NCACS evaluation teams throughout the United States. Team members are educators or administrators from various elementary and secondary

schools as well as colleges and universities, said Powers. The organization is voluntary and consultant-evaluators are selected at random for accreditation trips. "There's a lot of greeting, a lot of research and a lot of work that goes into the process," said Powers. The purpose of the NCACS is to ensure that schools are meeting their academic goals by providing the best possible service to attending students, she said. NCACS selected 118 people to participate on evaluation teams last year and Powers said she was honored to be one of them. "Being a consultant-evaluator for North Central was a very enjoyable experience, very educational," said Powers. She added that she hopes her experience with the NCACS will benefit students at UCO.
