Final reform proposed for education overhaul

By Susan Reger Staff Writer

Local reaction was less than enthusiastic to a proposal by the Governor's Performance Team to overhaul Oklahoma's education system.

A small crowd attended the public Elsner hearing Oct. 18 in UCO's Will Rogers Suite.

Deregulation of public schools, alignment of state colleges and universities under OU or OSU, reallocation of resources and elimination of tenure were a few of the recommendations made by the team after eight months of research.

"Changes such as this need to be thoroughly discussed across the state, not just among 50 people," said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the college of education.

The team, composed of 50 state employees and private citizens, explained the two major goals of the plan to members of the Governor's Commission on Government Performance who

will review the proposal and forward its own recommendations to Gov. Keating by Nov. 15.

"The mission of the proposal is to monitor performance outcome of students and achieve financial integrity, said Michael Ashcraft, Oklahoma City businessman and team member.

"The intent of the team was not to dictate texts, close schools or eliminate funding."

President Nigh said he would hold comment until the final report and Dr. Stephen Law, UCO faculty senate president said he believed the proposal would be the worst thing Nigh to happen to higher education.

With the assistance of Peat Marwick, a local consulting firm, estimated overall savings average $200 million in the first year and $1 billion over a period of five years.

Ashcraft said the team's proposal was customer-driven and cost-effective to be achieved by streamlining the overall structure and operation of

the educational system.

One example of structural change would be to centralize services such as personnel, payroll and accounting to one center instead of employing a similar staff at each school district or university, he said.

Under the proposal, agencies such as the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education would be replaced by a secretary of education selected by the governor with approval by the senate.

"Instead of downsizing, elimination of jobs would occur more often through attrition as employees resigned or retired," said Ashcraft.

Alignment of the colleges and universities under OU and OSU would eliminate excessive administrative layers and improve abilities for students to successfully transfer credits between schools, he said.

Elsner said he hoped legislators would bring Law in people from other states who have V See PROPOSAL, Page 6

T

he official UCO Undergraduate Catalog contains a lot of useful information. Among the tidbits is the price tag for its publication. At $36,650, it is a bargain students should not do without.

But because of poor planning and slipshod distribution, many students do go without it. Students deserve to benefit from a document produced at no small cost. When they don't, it is our job to question why. Instead of answers, all too often we come up against administrative staff who question our motives and refuse to talk.

Below is a compilation of a list of fables about the catalog, and the accompanying facts that refute them.

Fable: Administration developed the official 1995 University Catalog to help our students optimize the planning of their curriculum.

Fact: The catalog was developed primarily as a recruitment tool.

Fable: The catalog helped students plan their schedule of fall classes.

Fact: The catalog came out three days before classes started. Its developer admits that if you wait for a catalog to enroll, most of the classes will be closed.

Fable: All students receive a copy of the catalog.

Fact: Many have never seen it.

Fable: Students will receive a catalog in Admissions.

Fact: Distribution is haphazardly done.

Fable: If Admissions misses you, you'll get one in Advisement.

Fact: Sorry, Charley. They don't spoon-feed at this university.

Fable: You don't need a catalog.

Fact: You do, if you want to get into the right classes at the right time.

Fable: Administration regrets that many students never get a catalog.

Fact: Administration couldn't care less. It figures that if the little stacks in the Enrollment Center are dwindling, its job is done.

Fable: Advisers provide all the information needed to help students qualify for their degree in the most convenient and suitable manner.

Fact: Advisers often do not advise students adequately.

Fable: If a program isn't mentioned in Advisement, the student can read about it in the catalog.

Fact: What catalog?

It has entered our subconscience and we discriminate unintentionally as well as intentionally. Thus, reading a letter that addresses this issue at UCO seems to be nothing unusual.

UCO is an institution and a part of our society; it is made up of ordinary humans. After all, the issue of discrimination is not new at UCO. All this raises the question whether there is any hope for a

positive change.

To help our society, we must reconsider ourselves first. One must know that this school, this nation and the whole world is made up of individuals like you and me, and it is wrong to think that a being a better person will not make a change to the picture.

Actions often cause chain reactions. It takes one person to make one change.

Atomic bomb descent raises questions of morality, not honor t has been 50 years since the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japanese cities.

Earlier this year, there was much controversy about the Enola Gay exhibit at the Smithsonian.

The reason for the controversy is that documentation has been discovered by historians that indicates the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki after knowing that the Japanese were willing to surrender.

Further evidence is that this was done to intimidate the Russians and show them the terrible destruction wrought by nuclear weapons.

There is nothing surprising about this to me. It corresponds nicely with the fact that the United States and every other capitalist nation on earth invaded Russia after the Bolshevik revolution to destroy the incipient rise of socialism and the threat that posed to the wealth and power of the ruling class in every capitalist country.

Also, it corresponds with the atrocities committed by the United States, either directly or

Student questions campaigns' promise on family values

T

traditional family values." What exactly do they mean by this?

Tradition is the transmission of culture through the generations.

How many generations do they plan on going back? Whose family values are they talking about?

I assume by what they have done so far, they want to go back further than 1965, the year I was born. In 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson was president. Major great society programs passed that year including the following; Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Voting Rights Act, Medical Care Act, Omnibus Housing Act, Immigration Act, Appalachian Regional Development. Act, Higher Education Act, National Endowment for the Arts and the Humanities.

In 1965, the Miranda Act had not yet been passed, interracial marriages were prohibited in

he 1994 elections put the Republicans in power of both the House and the Senate; thereby, giving the Republican control to . set the agenda. Only 38 percent of the population voted in this election. Of those 38 percent who chose to assert their very important right, 60 percent earned more than $50,000 per year.

The campaigns promised term limits, balancing the budget by cutting government waste, and a return to traditional family values. We know what the Republicans call "government waste,"—Education, Welfare, Environmental Protection, Medicare and Medicaid. They passed term limits, just not the ones promised in their campaigns. They passed term limits for mothers on welfare.

What troubles me the most is this popular phrase, "Return to

many states, everyone had to vote in English, Malcolm X was assassinated, Vietnam was going on, President Johnson signed the National Council on Indian Opportunity, and the National Organization of Women had not yet been formed.

So, do they want to go back another generation? In.1935, Franklin D. Roosevelt was president. Congress passed the National Labor Relation Act, the Social Security Act and the Banking Act, the NAACP campaigned for federal anti lynching laws, Huey Long was assassinated, Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states and Okies went west to become migrant agricultural workers.

Do they wish to go back 100 years? In 1895, Grover Cleaveland was president. There were no health regulations. The Supreme Court legalized the use of injunctions against labor

unions and gave business a potent weapon with which to restrain labor organizers. The Moral-Purity Campaign was going on. Police corruption was wide spread. Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah were not yet states. Would these states go back to their Native American traditional values?

Do they want to go back 200 years? In 1795, George Washington was president. There were only 15 states, only white males could vote and people of Color were not citizens but property of the white man.

Many family values during these times included the following beliefs: anglos were superior to people of color, men were superior to women, land and profits were more valuable than human life, and genocide for anyone who was assumed to not be a Christian.

At this time, there is an antieducation atmosphere. Could this be because the conservatives are in charge?

All the data shows that the more a person is educated, the more liberal that person becomes. The more one learns, the more one understands. The more one understands, the more one keeps an open mind and recognizes the great diversity.

James Madison, father of the United States Constitution, said, "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."

The republicans in charge don't want the average person to have that power, knowledge.

Learn all you can and exercise your right to vote.

adopted similar plans to talk about its strengths and weaknesses.

After attending a recent conference, Elsner said he learned some states were looking at going back to local control in some instances.

"There is a perception among some state and national leaders that reform must come from the outside or that higher education is not moving fast enough," he said.

Elsner said he is not sure higher education could accomplish quality programs

through a business model like the proposal.

A five-year teacher's education program for OU may be suitable for OU, but UCO has been comfortable with its own program.

Elsner said one of his concerns over centralization is access to the university president or administrative figure if a problem arises for a student.

Someone at Northeastern University would have difficulty if they needed to communicate with the secretary of education.

Nigh said he applauded dialogue and conversation

relevant to education, but also added that with existing laws and constitution some ideas for change may or may not be a possibility.

"I emphatically agree with one concept, said Nigh.

"It has been much too difficult for students to transfer credit from one university to another."

Nigh said UCO has worked hard to work with students in the metro area by visiting students at area campuses to either guarantee transfer of credits in advance to UCO or advise a student not to take a certain course.

Law said it would be counterproductive to politicize the educational process.

Education should never be made dependent on the will of people just as legislation would not be passed saying how doctors deliver care, he said.

Responding . to the recommendation for a secretary of education elected by the governor, Law said he believed people electing future governors who have their own political agendas could result in a devastating effect on the quality product for Oklahoma students.

"Oklahomans get the

education they pay for," said Law. "There is a direct correlation between minimal expenditures in the state of Oklahoma for educational purposes and poor performance of students."

Law said he personally believed UCO should be recognized as having its own virtues such as quality teachers who conduct research while still in the front lines of a classroom.

far as who will teach and what ideas will be discussed," Guild said. " In these polarized political times, where there seems to be a fax right and a far left and not much in the middle, we need tenure more now than ever before," Guild said.

Another reason proposed by the team for eliminating tenure was that educators must maintain contact with growth and be motivated to keep pace with society's needs.

"What professor of business or history could not enhance his or her credentials, and therefore their students' acceptance, by going into government service for a few years and then returning to the classroom? Also, what classroom could not benefit from the experience of a businessman or politician who decided to become a professor?" were queries posed in the draft.

Just because someone has been a businessman or a politician, does not mean they are qualified to teach.

—Dr. Tom Guild associate professor of general business , The draft continued with, "We are losing the benefit of the wealth of knowledge that these professionals can bring to the classroom. Tenure is the basic source of this inflexibility. Don't we owe our students the best that we can give them?"

However, Guild countered that if tenure was not in place, many under-qualified people would be allowed to teach, thereby decreasing the quality of education.

"Just because someone has been a businessman or a politician, does not mean they are qualified to teach," he said.

Guild said there is an adequate system of sabbatical leave already in place for

professors.

Sabbatical leave allows every faculty member to take one year off at half pay or six months off at full pay to enhance his or her credentials.

"Sabbaticals are so much more efficient and less dislocative to a career than to have someone wander off for three or four years and never return because they're making more money doing something else," Guild said.

"If that happens, the students will never see the benefit of this extra experience anyway," he said.

Guild said without tenure, excellent professors would go to the highest bidder.

"If we allow this, OU and OSU, who have a huge budget compared to the rest of the institutions in Oklahoma, would be the highest bidder for virtually every professor," he said.

"The rest of the colleges will get the leftovers."

In the proposal, the team claimed that eliminating the security of a guaranteed position and the stress of striving for tenure would benefit both educators and students.

Guild, however, argued that the stress of worrying about the security of a job is greater than striving for tenure. " It would be much more stressful worrying about a

politician interfering in a classroom because they decided their niece didn't like something you taught," he said.

"The stress of having politicians looking over your shoulders and worrying that if you wade into controversial discussions, you may lose your job.".

Guild said he would feel greatly insulted if tenure was eliminated. " I decided years ago when I took this job that this is what I chose for my career.

"I would feel cheated, misled and that right in the middle of my career, the rug was being pulled out from underneath me and the rules changed in the middle of the game," Guild said.

"I'm very hopeful that Governor Keating will reject this recommendation to eliminate tenure," he said.

"We're professionals. This is not just a job, it's our career." ,ko

MOVIE REVIEW

The Scarlet Letter ending deviates from that of novel Rating *** The newest rendition of Nathaniel HaWthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter was recently released on the silver screen.

When to words "freely adapted from the novel" appear on the screen, it's obvious the movie won't follow the book exactly, but this high-dollar production of the novel came through pretty well in the entertainment category.

In a movie based on a long novel such as this one, you have to expect the occasional spells of boredom, especially since the movie is over two hours long.

The acting in the movie was the true saving grace.

The movie, which stars Gary Oldman, Demi Moore, and Robert Duvall, is told by Pearl Prynne, many years after the fact.

Oldman plays nervous, jittery and tormented Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale who falls hopelessly in love with Hester Prynne (Moore), a liberated, hardworking woman who hasn't quite fit into the Puritan lifestyle.

The two eventually have a child named Pearl a product of a semigraphic and slightly confusing love scene.

Prynne's husband, Roger (Duvall) who is believed to be dead, shacks up with the local Indian tribe and eventually learns of Hester's infidelity.

In an elaborate scheme to get revenge, Prynne, who changes his name to Chillingworth to prevent the townspeople from learning of his identity, literally tears the town apart by waging a war against the Indians.

The movie excels in drawing out the motives, personalities

and emotions of the three main characters.

The best scene, from both directional and acting standpoints, is when Hester stands in the extreme forefront, confessing her sin, while Dimmesdale is in the background, learning for the first time that she is pregnant.

This is when the quality of the acting shines—there couldn't have been better actors chosen for the roles.

A subplot of the movie revolves around the town of overly-pious Puritans who are so worried about the rules of God and their community that they eventually bring about their own destruction.

The movie does, however, have its few drawbacks.

The ending, for example, was completely overhauled.

This review won't reveal exactly what happens in the end, but rest assured that it is quite different from the novel.

Chillingworth's revenge wasn't quite as cold anti

calculated as it was in the book.

It also takes him less time to finish the job and more time to hone in on the father of Hester's child.

Another thing I find trouble with is the sets used in the movie. The town, the woods, carriages, etc. are close-tofactual, but some scenes are so beautiful they just aren't believable, while some aspects just don't look authentic enough.

The acting makes it worthwhile as does the curiosity of finding out what exactly they did with the novel.

—Review by John Clanton Staff Writer

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

From the classic Nathaniel Hawthorne tale, The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne (Demi Moore) and Reverend Dimmesdale (Gary Oldman) star in the movie from Hollywood Pictures.

Late catalogs affect student decision making

By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

The late production and distribution of the official University Catalog this year have not helped students as they waded through the enrollment process. Many do not know about alternatives to traditional enrollment in the form of correspondence and extrainstitutional exams.

Registrar Jerry Legere is the assistant vice president for enrollment management. "The catalog is probably the most important document that a student gets," he said.

The catalog establishes the policies of the institution and includes changes in requirements for graduation.

"The catalog didn't come out until August this year," said Legere. "Our goal is to print it and have it available by April."

"First-time students should be getting a copy of the catalog," he said.

"Deciding the focus of distribution depends on your

philosophy," said Legere. "I tend a little more to the recruitment side."

The information Legere cites as well as other information such as the availability of testing out is important to returning students as well.

For instance, information on obtaining credit by extrainstitutional examinations, also known as advanced standing testing or "CLEP-ing" out of a course is on Page 33 of the catalog. It is not mentioned in the semester schedule of classes.

Many students, having never seen the catalog, confuse the two documents. This can result in students enrolling in traditional coursework that requires more time and money.

Trace Oswald is pursuing a second degree. He said he wished he had known about extrainstitutional exams earlier.

He only found out about the programs when an older relative mentioned it to him. This semester he is attempting 17 hours the traditional way. He wants to get college algebra and safety education out of the way

at the same time.

"I plan to CLEP these two classes in about two weeks," said Oswald. It will cost him $90, compared to $299.34 if he had opted for the traditional classroom route.

The Department of Testing Services and Correspondence is one of the best kept secrets on this campus. It is documented in the catalog, and occasional ads have been placed in- The Vista.The department offers about 150 ways to receive credit toward a degree, often in the time it takes for one or two class periods.

The center offers 50 correspondence courses that apply to undergraduate degrees at $50 per credit hour, said department co-ordinator John Malone.

Students can also try testing out (extrainstitutional exams).

Nationally standardized tests, the College Level Exam Program (CLEP) and Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Support (DANTES) are available at $15 an exam. Departmental exams are $15 per credit hour, said Malone.

These alternatives can save

students time, money and aggravation, said Malone.

To "CLEP" out of a course, visit the Copy Center in the Student Center Bookstore.

"Tell us what class you want and buy a sample test for $1.10," said Michael Taylor, the clerk. If a student passes the sample, he or she can return to the Testing Center for the real thing.

"A list of study guides is on the sample if you need more preparation," said Taylor.

CLEP tests are mainly for lower level classes, said Malone.

"Departmental exams offer more for the junior and senior level," he said. Malone said he wished more students would check out the department sooner. • Taylor said he had worked there for three years before he knew of the opportunity. • "I wish Fd known sooner.

Now it's too late for me," he said.

Despite complaints from students who have learned about the opportunity for advanced standing only after losing valuable time, the administration

appears to be unconcerned.

Barbara Bryant works the front desk in Room 104 of the Enrollment Center. Part of her busy routine is to offer a catalog to everyone who enrolls. "If they are new students or freshmen, I give them an applicalion. If they've enrolled before, I have them fill out a readmit form. There's another application for students who apply for nine hours or less. I always try to hand out catalogs to everyone," said Bryant.

Of those she missed, Bryant explained, "Fall enrollment was

crazy," she said. "If you're up here at the busy enrollment time, I can understand."

Bryant said if a student did not get a catalog in the Enrollment Center, Advisement would offer one.

Legere acknowledged that the traffic in the Enrollment Center makes for a hectic atmosphere at enrollment time.

However, even with late distribution of the catalog, no special provisions were made in the Advisement Center for students who may have fallen through the information gaps.

The catalog is not offered again, said Legere.

"The assumption is made, right or wrong, that they would have gotten it in the Admissions office," he said.

"I would hope that the advisers would be familiar with it because they're the ones who certify the degree," he added.

But students should not count on advisers to report all of the contents of the catalog. A lot depends on the timing of a visit.

Those who want more information should come early and come prepared, said Legere.

"Some students want much more of a handholding process," he said.

Sue Myers from the Advisement Center said the catalog had been put together very carefully.

Meyers said she was unaware that some students had not been offered catalogs.

Legere said his goal is to get next year's catalog to the students by April. He added that changes toward more automated enrollment will further reduce student contact with advisers.

Alleged child rapist returns to work pending preliminary

By Mike Gustafson Staff Writer Persha "Bud" Pair, the UCO custodian charged with three counts of child molestation, has returned to work after making bail.

Pair's bail was lowered by a Logan County District judge from $60,000 to $40,000, against the wishes of the prosecutors, said Beth Pauchnik, Logan County's assistant district attorney.

Since Pair has returned to his

job at the university, UCO has made an official statement concerning the situation, said Blanche Washington, director of personnel services.

"An employee or person is entitled to a presumption of innocence in the judicial system.

As long as we the employer feel the situation is not impairing the employee's job or other employees or students around them, they will retain their position until a judiciary ruling has been made," said Washington.

Bronchos ready themselves for Buffalo passing attack

By Scott Moore Sports Writer

No letdown.

That's the message from Central Oklahoma head football coach Gary Howard after Tuesday's workouts.

The Bronchos are coming off their second-straight hard-to-take loss against a top-ten opponent, losing to No. 10-ranked Angelo State and No. 3-ranked Texas A&M-Kingsville by a combined margin of 13 points on consecutive Saturday's.

"Our guys have a lot of character, there's no quit in them," said Howard. "They're still very enthusiastic and are committed to winning their final three games."

Saturday at Wantland Stadium, UCO played Angelo State close enough to win, but two big plays (an 88-yard punt return and a 73-yard touchdown pass) pushed the Rams passed the Bronchos 14-7.

Two weeks ago at Wantland Stadium, UCO lost to Texas A&M-Kingsville 27-21 when a 95-yard touchdown pass broke a 21-21 tie.

The Bronchos came close to defeating the top-two teams in the Lone Star Conference. But being close doesn't equal victories and as a result, the Bronchos are 5-3 overall and 1-3 in the LSC while Kingsville (61, 4-0) and Angelo St. (5-1-1, 30-1) remain No. 1 and No. 2 in the LSC respectively.

"There is nothing that can be done to change those outcomes.

It's hard not to let them eat away at you because we played well and came close to winning, but we'll have to just put them behind us and press on," said Howard.

Pressing on means facing Lone Star Conference foe West Texas A&M Saturday at 7 p.m. in Canyon, Texas.

The Buffaloes are also 5-3 overall and 1-3 in the LSC. "We've been playing pretty good the last two weeks," said Howard. "We need to continue playing with the emotion and the intensity that we've been playing with because I know that at least two of our final three games are going to be tough starting with

West Texas."

The story of West Texas A&M this season is a team that scores a lot of points but gives up just as many.

The Buffaloes feature a passing attack that averages 335.1 yards per game. Overall, West Texas is averaging 418.3 yards per game and 30.6 points.

But on defense, the Buffaloes are allowing 470.9 yards per game and 32.5 points per game.

"They've had a lot of points scored on them in the conference but you have to look at who have they played," said Howard.

"Basically all they do is pass.

They run a no-huddle offense and throw it about 60 or 70 times a game."

Ex-UCO wrestler named to NAIA Hall of Fame

By Mike Gustafson Sports Writer Johnny Nimmo, former fourtime national champion wrestler for Central State, has been named to the NAIA Hall of Fame for his outstanding contributions to the collegiate sport.

The former wrestling great who never won a state title while in high school, finished his Dutstanding career at UCO with three NAIA titles and one NCAA Division II crown.

"At Del City High School, Nimmo won runner-up at two State Championships and was qighly recruited by Central State," said David James, UCO Head Wrestling Coach.

"We heavily recruited him and ortunately we got him," said lames. "As a freshman, we Jiought he had a chance right away, and with his hard work, it ill fell in place for him."

In 1987, the 150 pound

wrestler was named to the team as a true freshman and went on to win the NAIA Tournament Outstanding Wrestler Award, and the NAIA National Championship.

Nimmo's tremendous showing as a freshman helped UCO win their first of two consecutive NAIA Team National Championships.

"Nimmo had an outstanding freshman year," said James. "He definitely helped the team win the national championship."

In 1988, Nimmo moved up to the next weight division from 150 to 158 pounds. At that weight, Nimmo won his second consecutive NAIA National Championship and also helped the university win their second straight Team Championship.

With a perfect 58 - 0 record against NAIA competition, Nimmo, along with UCO, moved to the NCAA Division II ranks. There, Nimmo moved back down to his original weight

of 150 pounds and overcame a knee injury that kept him on the bench for two months.

For the fourth consecutive year, Nimmo won the National Championship for the university, and became one of UCO's best wrestlers ever.

"Nimmo contributed greatly to the UCO wrestling program," said James. "He was one of the best mat wrestlers that I have ever coached."

Nimmo ranks third on UCO'S all-time win list with a career record of 131-38-1. The wrestling great still holds the university's record for career falls with 50.

On March 7, 1996, Nimmo will become the sixth UCO wrestler, along with UCO coach David James, Bill Mitchell, Terry Henry, Benny Coleman and Ronnie James, to be inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame at a Wrestling National Championship Banquet in Johnny Nimmo was recently named to the NAIA Hall of Fame.

Broncho setter wins LSC award

LSC continued from page 12

Howard said the last time he faced a no-huddle offense was four years ago against Western new Mexico.

"You have to be pretty disciplined on defense to face a no-huddle offense," said Howard. "Our guys haven't faced a no-huddle offense but it's not a concern because the thing about a no-huddle offense is that they really have a basic offensive style as far as sets that they run out off."

The Bronchos are allowing just 172 yards through the air but out of the 13 touchdowns that the Bronchos have given up this year, nine have been by the pass.

Offensively, UCO will be led

by Sean Morgan who will be starting in place of injured starter Stanley Pena for the secondstraight game. Pena will miss the rest of the season because of broken jaw he suffered during the Kingsville contest. Morgan filled in for an injured Pena for the Southwestern game Sept. 9 (a 20-6 win).

Against Angelo St., he completed 12-of-24 passes for 125 yards.

"I thought he did a darn good job tonight," said Howard after the game."

"I think I've been playing pretty well," said Morgan after Tuesday's workouts. "I've been here for three years now and I know the offense. I've started two games this year and I think the offense is pretty comfortable with me.

"I think our team is a little disappointed after the two losses but we aren't going to let it get us down. Our goal now is to win our last three and finish 8-3." On

Hansen, a 5-7 senior from Greenleaf, Kan., averaged 47.7 assists per match as the Lady Bronchos went 2-1 against conference foes Tarleton State, Abilene Christian, and Angelo State. She also had 27 digs, seven aces, and four blocks in the three matches. "(Hansen) had a good week.

She's definitely come on since her injury early in the season," UCO volleyball coach Mark Herrin said, referring to an- ankle injury Hansen suffered the first match of the season. "She's starting to get her consistency back. That's real important in her position."

Hansen credits her teammates for her good performance.

"It's the hitters who have to put it down for me to get an assist," said Hansen. "I got the sets up there, but they had to put it down."

"She sets the table for the other players, so it has to be consistent, or the other players can't perform their jobs," Herrin said.

Rising college costs outpace rate of inflation

By Marco Buscaglia College Press Service The cost of college continues to rise twice as fast as the rate of inflation, a new study by the College Board has found.

And today's students are taking on more debt to cover college costs, say educators.

College tuition increased on average by 6 percent, while inflation rose by 2.6 percent last year, according to the Consumer Price Index.

College tuition and fees now average $12,432 at private fouryear colleges, $2,860 at public four-year colleges, $6,350 at private two-year colleges and

$1,387 at public two-year colleges, according to the study, which surveyed 2,800 schools.

"The reality of going to school has become less of a possibility for some students and families, said Kathleen Brouder, College Board spokesperson.

"But if they are willing to look for financial aid opportunities, there are resources out there that can make school more affordable."

Those financial aid opportunities, however, are quickly shifting from grants to loans, said College 'Board President Donald Stewart.

While - there is nearly $46 million available in financial aid,

almost 60 percent of that sum is in the form of student loans. Ten years ago, loans accounted for about 40 percent of all financial aid.

"We need to take a look at the loan imbalance in this country and see how much our students can afford," Stewart said.

This year's 6 percent tuition increase is less than the 9 percent to 10 percent increases that colleges implemented in the late 1980s. But for some, the 6 percent hike is still too high.

David Warren, president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, said that cost increases for colleges are similar

to other institutions.

"There are similar expenses to worry about, like insurance, benefits, pensions and higher costs for materials, said Warren.

"We are all working in the same economic climate."

At the same time, Roz Heibert, director of public information for the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, said that today's public institutions are burdened by smaller federal and state contributions to education.

"Schools are restructuring at a time when the government is cutting back funding," Heibert said, mentioning the proposal to

cut $10 billion from the higher education budget passed by both Senate and House committees.

"The idea that we should be cutting back on money for education is ludicrous."

But with shrinking contributions from state and federal sources, Heibert said the colleges are forced to make tough budget decisions.

"Schools try to keep their cuts out of the student sector as much as possible," she said. "But when you cut staff in the fmancial aid office to save a dollar here and combine departments to save a dollar there, you're ultimately going to affect the students anyway."

$30,000 Truman scholarships offered to upper classes UCO produced a winner in said Jones.

Army Blades supply home front ground support

By Jessica Halliburton

While ROTC members at UCO are training to defend the country,a group of students known as the Army Blades are supporting their efforts on the campus.

The Army Blades presently

MUSIC REVIEW

`Saucy' CD brews jazzy rock Rating *****

G

Love and Special Sauce found its way into the hearts of underground music fans after its first album and the nonstop touring that followed it.

The newly released album, Coast to Coast Motel, features some new and improved G Love sounds and brings their music closer to the public eye.

While Coast to Coast Motel and the previously released selftitled album have some common sounds, the newest release is, frankly, a more entertaining and serious attempt.

Don't confuse their name for another rap artist, G Love and Special Sauce specialize in a sloppy yet tight, ultra-laid-back type of jazzy rock and roll.

The band's slower acoustic melodies and its quick paced electric songs seem to be held together by G Love's childlike and at times barely decipherable voice.

G Love and Special Sauce songs, which are written as a group project by its three members, are always driving, be they fast songs or slow songs, the band seems to be driving at something throughout the CD. Coast to Coast Motel, a heartwarming, feel-good CD, delves into different styles of music and surfaces with some refreshing and original combinations.

The new 12-track CD features some blues, a pinch of country twinge, jazz, swing, and a little motown something that can be heard on a street corner in New Orleans and some good old fashioned originality.

The band has an uncanny knack for turning a fresh new rhythm or sound into something listeners will hum for days afterward.

G Love's relaxed feel comes from the calm style of bassist Jimmy Prescott and drummer Jeffrey Clemens who do not get overly anxious to do their part or overshadow the overall sound of the band.

They do their part, and do it perfectly, but there isn't ever a rushed feeling in the flawlessly brilliant rhythm section.

Coast to Coast Motel is a great CD. Anyone who hears G Love and Special Sauce has to smile at the sweet, undistorted innocence and sheer creativity of their music.

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

Intersession courses offer students extra credit

By John Clanton Staff Writer UCO's intersession classes provide an opportunity for students to get course credit within weeks or even days, but some faculty members are wary of them because of possible conflicts in course scheduling.

"I've heard people speculate that this might happen," said Dr. Lewis Furmanski, chairperson of the political science department.

"It's likely that is having some impact," said Furmanski, "unless it's bringing people here that normally wouldn't be here, it's taking away from regularly scheduled classes."

However, there isn't enough

concrete information as to how intersession classes affect regularly scheduled ones, said Furmanski.

Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, said, "Intersession classes are intended to offer nontraditional or innovative courses that would not normally be offered during the regular semester."

"We're in the process of developing intersession classes for January," he said.

Dr. Michael Metzger, chairperson of the economics department, said the concern is whether intersession classes are of comparable quality.

If intersession classes fill up because they are of a lesser quality, then that becomes an

issue, said Metzger.

Dr. Linda Norton, director of continuing education, pointed out, however, that intersession classes do not interfere with classes scheduled in the fall or spring semesters. Rather, they supplement the regular classes, she said.

Tiaras sets donations for kids

By Leslie Wakulich

Staff Writer Tiaras, an organization of junior women dedicated to community service, is asking for donations to help Edmond's foster children.

The group's October service project is benefiting Citizens Caring for Children (CCC), "a non-profit community effort that works with foster children all over the state of Oklahoma," said Diana Harbolt, volunteer director of CCC. Most needed are "new to gently-used items" to supply the CCC resource center, she said.

The center is maintained to provide foster children with items from school supplies to clothes, dumptrucks to dolls.

It's a retail-like but free setting for basic needs as well as birthday presents, said Harbolt.

Harbolt said the center preferred new items to help build self-esteem in the.children.

"These kids feel like they're thrown away. When they move, they lose everything," she said.

Care packages are sent to former foster children in colleges and vocational schools.

Items from microwave popcorn and tea bags to deodorant and toothpaste are needed for these packages.

"It seems like something small, but it really means a lot to these kids," said Harbolt.

Tiaras is asking for donations appropriate for CCC's resource center and care packages.

Carrie Cook, president of Tiaras, said the group chose to work with CCC because it is based in Edmond and it works

with foster children.

"We don't realize how fortunate we are," she said. "We should step back and give to those who need our help."

Donations may be dropped off through Nov. 7 at The Vista, Room 107 of the Communications Building or Room 10211 of the Liberal Arts Building.

SCEC hosts discussion on children

By Mary Reinauer

Staff Writer Special education students gathered at Old North the evening of Oct. 11 to hear state lobbyist Anne Roberts and UCO graduate Sally Selvedge speak on the behalf of a special segment of Oklahoma's children.

The panel discussion was hosted by UCO's student chapter of the Council for Exceptional Children (SCEC).

SCEC helps prepare future professionals in special education and 'related areas to better serve exceptional children.

Exceptional children are those who require special consideration due to handicaps, learning disabilities or gifted status.

When it comes to the needs of exceptional children, "they (state legislators) don't know nothin' about nothin'," said Roberts.

Roberts heads the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, an organization that seeks to remedy the situation.

"Our goal is to place children and families higher on the public agenda of this state," explained a brochure distributed by the Institute.

Karen McGrath, special education coordinator and cosponsor of SCEC, said Roberts gave helpful new information. `The Institute will publish a book of statistics about child

abuse and other problems in January of 1996. I'm really waiting for the book," said McGrath.

The Institute for Child Advocacy also has an information line, which McGrath said she will use to solve problems in the future .

Guest panelist Selvedge represented Parents Reaching Out in Oklahoma (PROOKLAHOMA), a training and information center for parents, in the discussion.

A former UCO student and SCEC member, Selvedge is an example of how SCEC membership can be an asset for professionals who want to work in this highly specialized field, said McGrath.

Upcoming SCEC events this month include a bake sale and a Halloween party for children at the Bethany Pavilion, a center for children with behavior problems and mental illnesses.

Other than baked goods, the bake sale will also sell T-shirts and color photographs of Old North taken by Dan Smith, the director of photographic services at UCO. The sale will be held Oct. 1718 on the second floor of the Old North Tower.

The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy can be reached at 236-KIDS (5437). The number for PRO-OKLAHOMA is 681-9710.

Psychics deemed as hoax

By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer I had my fortune told this past weekend by a psychic at the Rocky Mountain Book Festival in Denver, Colo.

As I went into the psychic's booth, she looked at me and said "Hi Nicki, how are you today?" I was shocked and I said to myself, "Wow! this woman is good." Then I realized I was wearing a name tag.

The psychic had a deal going where you could have a 10 minute session for $10 or you could buy something and have a mini session. I bought one of those "Guardian of Light" tapes for $10 and had the mini session.

I'm glad I bought the tape, becaue apparently I was a "difficult read."

First of all I had to put both feet on the floor so the psychic and I could become connected— that didn't work. So she took my wedding ring, closed her eyes and went into a semi trance. I figured she had made a connection when she told me I was a tense person. I was, I'd just paid her $10.and she wasn't telling me a darn thing.

I wanted to kii.ow how; I'd done on my mid-term exams and if I was going to become a syndicated columnist. Instead, she told me that my life had been full of pain, but we didn't have to talk about it. I wanted to—on account of the $10.

At that point, the connection must have broken, because she told me I have great musical ability—I have none.

Well, you get what you pay for. After I left the booth, I had a sort of psychic experience OD myself. I felt I'd been had.
