Faculty forum to cover rights, responsibilities
Streakers flash Harvard classes
By Roy Howe Staff Writer
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Harvard pre-med students got an unexpected lesson in anatomy when three naked men, believed to be from Princeton, sueaked through their chemistry classes. "It was stress relief," said Jeff A. Ferrell, a freshman. "It's a pretty tense class most of the time." The three interrupted two classes Monday morning, running down the aisles of the lecture halls and shouting "Go Tigers!" and "Go Princeton!" according to The Harvard Crimson student newspaper.
First sentence in Pepsi tampering nets prison term WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A man who falsely reported a hypodermic needle in a can of Diet Pepsi was sentenced Tuesday to a year in prison. Christopher J. Burnette, 25, was the first person charged after dozens of bogus tampering reports around the nation last summer. He pleaded guilty to telling an emergency room nurse that a needle he found hi the can hit his tongue. He made a similar report to the local Pepsi distributor and later showed the can and syringe to the manager of a supermarket where he bought a 12-pack of Diet Pepsi. Within days of a tampering claim made June 9 by a Washington state couple, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received more than 50 reports nationwide of needles found in soft drink cans.

An open discussion concerning faculty rights and responsibilities is scheduled for 2:30p.m. Monday in the Living Room area of the Home Economics Building. This forum is also open for student participation. The University of Central Oklahoma chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) will sponsor the forum with a four-member panel to address questions. Panel members include Frederick McCann, State Regents for Higher Education; Lloyd Musselman, state AAUP president; UCO instructor and former president of the Higher Education Faculty Association, Bart Binning and Darry Carlstone, former UCO chapter AAUP president and UCO instructor. Tom Guild, AAUP president, said the forum will have multiple purposes that can benefit the seasoned professor as well as new members. "Newer faculty may not know what their rights and responsibilities are as faculty members," Guild said. He said that faculty members recently entering UCO may not be aware of the procedures to deal with complaints that could possibly injure their tenure later. Also to be discussed are responsibilities that tenured instructors face to guide those beneath them in their department. McCann will give insight as to where the State Regents are taking higher education and Musselman is to address the current censure against UCO. "It will be a very broad and diverse discussion," Guild said, "with people from varying backgrounds. It's a chance for people to air out some issues." Guild said that he plans to question each panel member and then open it up for questions from the AAUP members. The AAUPs membership is currently at an all-time high with 106. The organization's purpose is professional development said Guild. See FORUM, Page 7

Listed under "Decal/Hanging Permit Violations," item four reads as follows: "Any person who finds or gains possession of a lost, stolen or damaged decal/ hanging permit and uses it to park on campus is guilty of possession of a lost/stolen decal/parking permit and shall be fined $50, including impoundment of the vehicle at the expense of the owner/operator."
"This is in effect right now," Roberts said. "Whenever one of Bob Caldwell's (parking services) officers finds a stolen permit, we'll go impound the car." Vehicle release is handled through Bob Caldwell, manager of parking services. The fine must be paid first, then the owner must pay the wrecker service for the towing charge to recoup the vehicle.

Society's views continue to swing from conservative to liberal
A
ccording to an old saying, society's views swings in a pendulum from times of conservatism to times of liberalism. The pendulum swung from stifling view in the early part of the century to the ecstatic views of the "Roaring `20s." The pendulum swung again from the proper actions of the 1950s to the free and wild emergence in the 1960s. Now the pendulum swings again, this time into stifling conservatism. Gone are the open-minded days of the 1970s and '80s. The 1990s will prove to be a time of smothering control. Of course, some of the conservatism is good and long needed. Irresponsible and free sex is declining and health is foremost in many people's minds. Environmentalism and concern for others around the world is a big push in today's society. But then again, the pendulum has hit upon tyrannical actions. America is becoming the "Pass the Blame" society. Children blame their parents for their problems today, others blame Satan for the situation the world is in and others blame (and sue) teachers if they are unable to find a job. Now the blame is turning to the entertainment industry for how children are turning out. Beavis no longer spats "FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!" because some parent blamed the show for her kid's pyromania. The movie "The Program" had to shoot a whole new scene because a couple of teenagers laid down in the middle of the road. Consensual crimes (crimes with no victims) are on the rise and personal health is being forced on the people whether they like it or not. Since when was it the entertainment industry's responsibility to raise other's kids? Since when do people blindly mimic actions on TV, instead of thinking for themselves? Since when do laws have the right to tell us what is best for us and what is naughty for us? Since the pendulum swung, right into the 1990s.

Parking permit thieves should be ticketed, student says
I
read an article in The Edmond Sun the other day about the theft of parking stickers at UCO. The reporter wrote that "It seems a shame that two students and their families have been put through the wringer this last week over something so trivial as aparking permit." I agree that a felony charge seems a bit harsh for the theft of a parking sticker. However, the article didn' t mention anything about the students whose parking permits were stolen. What about their
rights? What about the fact that they were obeying the law and being responsible citizens? The bottom line is responsibility, yet it seems that all a person has to do is whine, an they might get patted on the head and told that it's okay... someone probably stole your baseball cards when you were a child, no wonder you grew up to be a thief. Maybe those who whine loudest, whine last, and we are supposed to sympathize with victimizers instead of the victims.
UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts stated in a letter to Ray Elliott, assistant district attorney, that the campus police would prefer to handle these cases on campus like they would a routine parking violation. So, a ticket for not having a permit, a ticket for stealing a permit. Sound fair? Maybe we should just make the thieves write "I will not steal" five hundred times. —Janet Runge UCO student

would like to ask those reading this to imagine a large house, better yet, an inn, and I am the inn keeper. I tell your respected party that for a set amount I'llrent to you a room, and for an additional charge I provide the food and drink. Please pay no mind to the exorbitant cost of the food and drink—just know that your party is forbidden to bring any other food inside my facilities. What if it's your mom's apple pie? Don't care, if it is not my food, then you will hunger. What if it's your dad's Super thirst Quenching Lemonade with a twist of grapefruit? Don't care, if it is not my drink, then you will thirst. What if you are an ethnic group whose taste does not center around western culture? If you are African students wanting to prepare
food from your homeland, Paidstan students, Malaysian students ... No...No...No. Many of us would say, "I don't have to take this," and would simply go to another inn. did I forget to mention that I was the only inn? Well, surely I would listen to reason. No, I will not. Maybe I'm open to compromise...well, how about this: if you bring me your favorite family recipes of your culture's dishes, I'll have my cooks fix it. Have they ever made the dishes before? No, I guess no time better than the present. To any rational person that dialogue would be insulting and on that fine borderline separating stupidity and ignorance, unless I was A.K. Ramond, director of the Auxiliary services here at the University of Central Oklahoma. His
"no excuse" policy, if set outside the protection of the university, would be viewed as monopolistic, destined for early bankruptcy. To this day I cannot figure out why, on a university campus, students take second place to economics. If the main goal of the University Center is to maximize profits, then President Nigh should provide a place for student groups to meet where they do not have to play to some one's ego. President Nigh should allocate space—nice space where student groups can get together and celebrate their culture without being demoralized. A place where a student group does not have to make schedules years in advance for special events that benefit the campus. —Robert Lee Page President, Black Student Association

UCO students can now enter to compete in College Bowl By Michelle Peller
Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma will once again compete in College Bowl, a game of academic knowledge, from 2-10 p.m. Nov. 8 and 15 in the University Center Ballroom C. The college bowl questions will range in topics from "literature to history to science to sports to current events to math to music to art and to geography," said Jodi Waddle, UCO graduate student and member in College Bowl. A "practice" Round Robin will be held from 2-10 p.m. Oct. 29 in
the Senate Room, Waddle said. The Round Robin "is a practice session for people who have never been in a college bowl or seen one," she said. The competition begins with a campus tournament, run by the faculty senate, which consists of two teams of four players each competing to score points, said Waddle. The students are chosen by forming their own teams of three to four people and an alternate. Individual students may also sign up and then will be put in touch with other people to combine a team, Waddle said. "I think it's a great way to prac-

Students may study and practice from the questions used from last year or the year before located in Kearns office, said Waddle. The process of elimination will be on two days this year, Waddle added. "Last year we had 15 teams and we didn't get out of there until midnight," she said. "They get faculty members to be officials for it." The first place team of the campus tournament will each receive a fall and spring tuition and fee
waiver scholarship. Members on the second place team will each receive a fall tuition and fee waiver scholarship, said Waddle. The Varsity Team, the top scorers of the campus tournament will then represent UCO at the Regional Championship Tournament in February 1994, Waddle said. The National Championship Tournament is in April 1994 and consists of the 15 Regional Champions and a 16th Wild Card Team, an alternate team, said Waddle. "People who participate in it try to come back year after year," she said. "A lot of it has to do with timing and luck," Waddle said.
"It's very fast paced." "It causes some tension and anxiety," she said. "It's a lot of fun." "Our team's goal is to make it through the first round and if we do that, we' 11 be pleased," said Waddle. Forms to sign up for the College Bowl competition are located outside the door of Room 200 in the Home Economics Building. The deadline to register is 5 p.m. Nov. 3.

SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING
By Michelle Peller Student Writer
Four debate teams from the University of Central Oklahoma competed in a tournament with one team finishing in first place and two teams with a tie for second place Oct. 22-23 at Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa. As well as UCO competing in the tournament, ten schools from Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri also competed. Aaron Price and Ken Graham defeated Southwestern College of Winfield, Kansas in the final round winning them first place. The team advanced over a second UCO team in the semi-finals. UCO had three of the four teams in the semi-rounds of debate. UCO had two teams tie for second place who consisted of David Ruff and Sarah Schmidt and Matt Long and Chad Hill. The teams won awards and individual speakers were recognized for their performances. Craig Clingan was awarded the top individual speaker after the six rounds of preliminary debates. Sarah Schmidt won the fifth place speaker award. "They worked hard and they put out a lot of effort," said Doug Duke, director of debate at UCO. "The results were very positive." The debaters will divide and go to tournaments Oct. 29 and 30. The debaters will consist of two senior teams who will attend the University of Oregon tournament and four teams will debate in the Wichita State University tournament. The debaters are also getting prepared for the Joe C. Jackson College speech and Debate tournament to be held Nov. 12-14 on the UCO campus. "They should be very competitive," said Duke. "They should be able to represent Central very well."

IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS EXPENSIVE, TRY PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RETIREMENT.
T
hink about supporting yourself for twenty-five, thirty years or longer in retirement. It might be the greatest financial test you'll ever face. Fortunately, you have one valuable asset in your favor. Time. Time to take advantage of tax-deferral. Time for your money to grow. But starting early is key. Consider this: if you begin saving just $100 a month at age thirty, you can accumulate $154,o31* by the time you reach age sixty-five. Wait ten years and you'd need to set aside $211 a month to reach the same goal.

Although she has presented in Puerto Rico, Jones said that she has never gone overseas and that the trip is paid for by the tour. "Japan is a progressive society. They're very interested in American ideals and practices," said Jones. "It's going to be a rare opportunity to network about water fitness. Water exercise is the wave of the 90s.

Local apartment residents share home with dead By Terri King Staff Writer
University Park Apartment manager Ann Farrow greets everyone with a welcome coo and a warm smile while sitting behind her desk in the leasing office. An aura of white hair brightens her already friendly face as she giggles mischievously over the flier she gives to all of her residents at Halloween. The flier is an old newspaper article reprinted on bright orange paper telling the residents about the apartment site's history as an old graveyard. Apparently Oklahoma's '89ers buried their dead on land near Fink Park across the street from the University of Central Oklahoma. Local historian Stan Hoig said the early-day cemetery
was on a parcel of land set aside for schools. But in 1895, state officials decreed that Edmond could not bury the dead on school property. So local officials moved the bodies to what is now Gracelawn Cemetery at Danforth and Broadway. Hoig said some relatives refused to allow the bodies of their relatives to be disturbed, so those bodies stayed and the land was developed over them. Some people building homes inadvertently unearthed some of the graves in the 1920's and '30's and the rest are believed to be entombed beneath the University Park Apartments. Farrow said most people ask if the story is really true, and once, two superstitious tenants moved out after learning about the apartment's history as a graveyard. "But those girls were afraid of dogs and cats; they were just afraid
RESERVE
OFF
of everything," said Farrow. Farrow said one resident who has a cat said the cat often stares at the back door of her apartment with its hair standing on end. Now that the resident knows the apartment's history, she says the cat must be seeing ghosts. Farrow said most residents like to blame ghosts for strange noises they may hear, but most people really enjoy getting the flier and ask Farrow every year if she is going to give it to new residents. "It's kind of fun," said Farrow. Farrow, a retired special education and music teacher, met her husband of 43 years while attending the university and became apartment manager six years ago after his death. She often helps her student residents with their homework.

The University of Central Oklahoma Young Democrats were on hand Monday for the opening of the Oklahoma Health Care Campaign Headquarters in Oklahoma City. "All American citizens, regardless of age, ethnicity, or party affiliation have a vested interest in President Clinton's Health Care Proposal, " said Peter Regan, UCO Young Democrat. The concept of a reorganization of our entire health care system has overwhelming support from the American public. The dissension will come with the details and will begin at the party lines," said Regan. " "This is where the details will be compromised as the plan is massaged." Tim Faltyn, UCO Young Democrat, said that the Young Democrats had been very active in the event by helping set up the stage, putting up decorations and calling people to let them know it was taking place. Gov. David Walters also made
TRAINING
an appearance at the event. He started his speech by telling about how he and his cabinet visit hospitals around the state to get an idea about how badly health care is needed. He told of a mother who had a sick child but could not get the proper health care because she didn't have the money. Walters commented on the fact that almost everyone had given up on the idea of a national health care plan. "We elected an official that was willing to take control of Health Care," said Walters. Walters expressed his approval of the plan and urged people to get involved in helping pass the plan. He ended by saying," we're about to give that mother with a sick baby an answer." "The objective of the UCO Young Democrats and the Health Care Campaign will be to present the public with the facts and counter the misinformation," said Regan. The headquarters are located at 6516 NE Olie, just off of NW 63 and Western. Regan said that for ore information or anyone who would like to volunteer could call 842-4411.

Hong Kong, China, U.S. symposium nears Continued from front page By Anthony Tompkins Student Writer
Inmates charged in urine incident TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Prosecutors charged Anthony Lyn Kimbrough and Enoch Delbert McKnight, two Tulsa Jail inmates, with assault and battery on a deputy sheriff. The felony charge filed Monday in Tulsa County District Court alleges the two threw a cup of urine on a deputy Oct. 7. Kimbrough, 24, is awaiting trial on a charge of first-degree murder in the April slaying of Tulsa policeman Gus Spanos. He was convicted Oct. 14 of drug and firearm counts from 1992 and the jury recommended two two-year terms to be served concurrently. McKnight, 20, is one of two inmates involved in a botched escape attempt in July. The other inmate committed suicide. He faces unresolved charges of shooting with intent to kill and armed robbery, according to court records. He also faces a misdemeanor count of damaging jail property.
Swim coach fired over ESPN story alleging sexual misconduct GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The University of Florida fired women's swim coach Mitch Ivey amid a planned television report alleging sexual misconduct with his swimmers. Ivey denied the charges after his firing Monday night, saying the university would rather avoid bad publicity than stand behind its coach. "It's real unfortunate," Ivey told the Gainesville Sun in a story published today. "I was told that putting my arm around a girl and using foul language was deemed reason enough "Rather than saying they're pleased with my performance and standing behind me, they're saying they can't have the bad publicity. It shows you that all of that talk about Team Florida is just baloney. It leaves me feeling pretty nauseous." The university began its own investigation after ESPN reporters showed up on campus three weeks ago to work on a story for the program "Outside the Lines: Coaching in the `90s." It is set to air Friday. The program's host, Bob Ley, told The Associated Press Monday the show will contain allegations of sexual misconduct against a "world-class coach who has a history of marrying his athletes and also of having sexual relationships with them." Ley declined to identify the coach because that segment of the show was unfinished. Ivey, who has been married three times, did marry his second wife while she was at Stanford. "She was of legal age. Florida knew all about that when I got the job," Ivey said, Florida's women's swim team issued a statement Monday backing Ivey. "We ... as a whole completely support Mitch Ivey no matter what has been said. He is one of the best swim coaches in the world and he is the reason that we have developed into a team that is vying for a national title. We are stunned by this decision and feel very sorry that Mitch will be denied the opportunity to use his talents to better ours." A member of the 1968 and 1972 U.S. Olympic teams, Ivey came to Florida in 1990. He led the team to Southeastern Conference titles in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Florida finished second in last spring's NCAA meet, its best finish ever under Ivey.
Helmsley to finish tax fraud sentence in. Le Marquis hotel

NEW YORK (AP) — 'fowl queen Leona Helmsley checked into a modest $54-a-day room at Le Marquis Tuesday to serve the final months of her federal tax fraud sentence. Le Marquis, just off Fifth Avenue, stands in the shadow of the Empire State Building, one of the diamonds in her and her husband's $1 billion real estate and hotel empire. The government pays rent at Le Marquis hotel for former prisoners. Helmsley can leave Le Marquis at 9 a.m. each day, but must be back by 7 p.m., federal prison officials said.

"The event will last all day and is free to students of UCO," said Dr. Walter D. Jung, professor of history and geography at UCO. Events of the forum will begin at 9 a.m. with opening greetings from Carl F. Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute, followed by
a keynote speech, "China the Giant," by Dr. Frank Wert, dean of the College of Business at UCO. Scholars from Hong Kong, Penn., New Jersey, Alabama, Ohio, Illinois and Oklahoma will present speeches from 9:50 to 11:50 a.m. and from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., said Jung. "The speeches will cover topics ranging from cultural to political reform," said Jung. A luncheon will begin at 12:10 p.m. and a $10 charge must be paid at the time of registration (8:30 to 9 a.m.) by those who want to reserve a plate, said Jung. During the luncheon, traditional Chinese dancing will be presented by UCO' s Chinese Student Association, after which UCO President GeorgeNigh will present his greetings to the scholars and attendants of the luncheon.
A second keynote speech, "China and the U.S.," will be presented by the Honorable Qui Sheng-Yun, counsel general to the People's Republic of China, during the luncheon, following the cultural presentation, said Jung. A panel discussion, "China in the 21st Century," will be held from 2: 40 to 4:30 p.m. The discussion will cover investment opportunities in China as well as foreign exchange and the content of the speeches given by the participating scholars. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Christopher Givan, chairman of creative studies, said Jung. "President Nigh and other leaders of UCO have been very supportive," said Jung. "The symposium is a valuable and positive out reach to the community by the university."
USA Today searches for academic team By Joyce Kirtley
Staff Writer USA Today, a national newspaper, is looking for the best college students in the nation for its 1994 All-USA Academic Team. Nomination forms are sent to six departments at each university. This includes the president of the university, the dean of sciences and the director of multicultural student services. It
is left up to these department leaders to nominate the student, said Carol Skalski , co-coordinator of the All-USA Academic Team. Sixty students will be selected to a first, second and third team. The first team members will receive $2,500 in cash and will have the opportunity to speak with college presidents about undergraduate education Feb. 21 at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. All chosen students will be fea-
tured in the Feb. 21 edition of USA Today. The judges, a panel of educators chosen by USA Today and its co-sponsors, will primarily look at a student's outstanding academic qualifications and his/ her leadership activities. In addition, a recommendation from the nominating professor or administrator and three recommendations of the nominee's choice will be required. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 30.

Guild said that in the past he has talked with professors who were afraid to challenge their disciplines and know that support was there. "We want our faculty to explore the outer regions of their disciplines and not to be afraid of controversy—we want academic freedom," he said. In addition, the organization provides strength in numbers. "The more members and interest we have in AAUP the more voice we have when dealing with the administration—the more they listen," he said.
The group also consists of faculty who are involved throughout the campus including members of other faculty organizations. "The kind of people we have in AAUP are actively involved in the university," Guild said. "It's not just 106 members, but 106 quality representatives. Guild said that the AAUP is important so that decisions are made from the top down, so that the faculty are considered before decisions are final. "We are interested in the concept of shared government which is very integral to any university."

Wrecker service charges vary from around $40-50, Roberts said, so using an illegally obtained parking permit could cost the user around $100. Also, UCO reserves the right for administrative retribution toward individuals for this offense, Roberts said. This could mean loss of parking privileges for a semester or a year. It would be decided on an individual basis, he said. Ten parking services officers are spending five to six hours per week just looking for numbers on the missing/stolen list, Caldwell said. "If anyone finds one of the missing permits, bring it by the parking services office (at the University Center) so we can clear it out," Caldwell said.

Changes in gay, lesbian rights will come once they acknowledge their sexual identity, speaker says By Dayna Poarch Student Writer Peggy Johnson, a University of Cen tral Oklahoma graduate and the guest speaker at last week's Gay, Lesbian Alliance for S tudent Support meeting, said she believes changes in gay and lesbian rights and treatment will come once gays and lesbians acknowledge their sexual identity. "I think it's important for us as gays and lesbians to acknowledge it on some level," she said. "That's sort of what coming out is and to, if at all possible, tell our friends and our family who we are so that they'll know that we're not stereotypes that society has put on us."
Johnson acknowledged her sexual identity in a recent issue of the University of Oklahoma newspaper. She said she hasn't really had any negative responses to her announcement. "I had several people come up to me and thank me for coming out and telling me they were proud of me or whatever," she said. Johnson, an OU law student interested in civil rights for all minorities, has taken an active part in the fight for gay and lesbian rights. She has participated in marches and has sung at benefits for the gay and lesbian community, AIDS and anti-rape rallies. She is also a member of Simply Equal, an organization formed by gays and lesbians last January.
Simply Equal was started when the Oklahoma state legislature proposed ordinances similar to those in Colorado stating cities should not be allowed to outlaw discrimination against gays and lesbians, Johnson said. "There was an outcry from the gay and lesbian and bisexual community that we wouldn't stand still for this type of treatment from our state," she added. The amendments were defeated, but Simply Equal continues to exist. "One of our main goals is to educate the community, not just the gay and lesbian community, but the straight community, too, about who we are and what happens to us," she said.

Rice, and Dr. Amy Carroll, who calls herself a humor-ologist, will present informal sessions on poetry and jokes, respectively, Rice said. German professor, Dr. Hans Rudolf Nollert, will talk about turn of the century German thought. "You don' t have to be a member; you can just like to read and come," Henson said. Members and those who decide to join the club, may attend for $28. Non-members will pay $30, she said.
Those attending will stay in cabins and food will be provided. One night there will be a cookout with hotdogs and s'mores, Henson said, and one day they will have lasagna. "There will be plenty of sandwich fixins' and junk food," she said. The deadline for sign-up is 5 p.m. Nov. 2. Two vans will be available for transportation.

Former football recruiter now teaches psychology By Joyce Kirtley Staff Writer One wall in the small office boasts awards and accomplishments. Another holds black and white photographs of a football player catching a pass, a black man sitting at a table and the bronze, silver and gold-medal winners at an Olympic ceremony. Casually attired in a grey polo shirt, black polyester slacks and black boots, Dr. Logan Wright leans back in his chair and points at the pictures, like a proud father showing off his children. "These pictures were taken by my youngest son. They are of sports figures I helped," he says. The first photo is of Joe Washington, an "outstanding" student and a University of Oklahoma football star. While teaching at OU, Wright helped recruit Washington to the medical school there. "The dean of the dental school and I made a deal with his parents that we would check his grades periodically. Out of 147 schools, we were the only ones that made the offer. That lured him to OU." The other two pictures are of Filbert Bayi, a world-record runner, and Andre Metzger, a member of the U.S. Olympic wrestling team. Wright also recruited them to OU. He had known OU' s headtrack coach and head-wrestling coach since he was in college. Wright became involved in football recruiting when he was asked by an NAACP officer to help with ethnic-related problems in the program. He got acquainted with first-assistant coach Barry Switzer. After Switzer became head coach, Wright was asked to help recruit athletes interested in the medical field. As the newest addition to the

UCO psychology department, Wright now recruits to study the mind and behavior of people. "I' ye always found the field of psychology interesting," Wright says. "I've used it as a way to help people. It is a productive field." After 27 years at OU, Wright says he came to UCO because it has good applied clinical psychology program that OU did not have. "Clinical psychology is a more focused area of training involving mental health. It deals with more debilitating problems," Wright says. "Child psychology is my area of training. This is an area where there are more answers. In children we see the physical problems, such as bed wetting, caused by psychological problems. At an early age, the problems can be corrected," Wright says. "It is naive to think that an adult's psychological problems stem from childhood. That is a Gerald() an d Donahue way of looking at it. Why dwell on how you got where you are when the problem can be fixed now?" he says. Wright was born in Kansas and reared in Oklahoma. After receiving his bachelor's from Oklahoma B aptist University in Shawnee, he taught at a junior college in Kentucky. "It was close to Vanderbilt University, so I applied and got accepted," Wright says. Wright received h i master' s and Ph.D.. there. He then taught psychology at the University of North Carolina and Purdue University. At UCO, Wright teaches a variety of classes, ranging from introductory psychology to health psychology and is still a clinical
Dr. Logan Wright
professor at OU' s Health Sciences Center. Some of Wright's accomplishments include OBU Outstanding Alumni Achievement Award, Oklahoma Psychological Association Distinguished Psychologist Award, the only Oklahoman to be president of the American Psychological Association and the Distinguished Service Award from the Society for Pediatric Psychology. "Psychology has advanced, but the level of knowledge is ancient," Wright says. The level of knowledge in psychology may be ancient, but Wright's knowledge is anything but. He has published numerous journal articles dealing with child psychology, and he has authored or co-authored five books. Although Wright has little spare time, he is a licensed psychologist and devotes one evening a week for private practice in addition to being a full-time faculty member. With his accomplishments and awards, published works and 29 years of teaching experience, the field of psychology has recruited Logan Wright for life.

Department of Energy offers fellowship programs for graduate students By Rodney Gordon Student Writer

Graduate fellowship programs sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) are now available for students wishing to pursue a master's or doctoral degree. The areas of study are fusion energy, applied health physics, radioactive waste management and industrial hygiene. Money is available for qualified students to pay for tuition and fees, monthly stipends (like a cost of living salary) and the opportunity to work at a DOE laboratory. Fellowships are awarded depending on the specific program and degree being pursued. A fellowship application and Graduate Records Examination
must be completed for all students, according to ORISE. "We're just trying to promote the program more because I don't think enough students know just how much money is available to them," said Marcia DeMarcus, program assistant. Selection is based on academic performance, recommendations and a statement of career goals by the applicant. "A fellowship is like a scholarship but instead of being for under graduates it's for graduates," DeMarcus said. No set number of applicants are accepted, DeMarcus said. It depends on annual funding and the number of qualified students that apply. Applications are accepted through Jan. 31, 1994 and awards will be announced in May 1994, according to ORISE. Once a student applies, an application booklet is sent to the student to be filled out, including
Foundation offers $131,000 in scholarships for university students By Bobbi Beldon
Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Foundation office scholarships are at an all-time high according to the Foundation office. For the 1992-93 academic year, the Foundation awarded through its general fund $131,000 in scholarships and program support to the university. The Foundation awarded 115
scholarships for the Spring 1993 semester and 165 scholarships for the Fall 1993 semester. The selection committee, members of the Foundation board of trustees, reach their decision for the awards based on grade point average and financial needs. Two particular scholarships are awarded for single parents and Veterans of Foreign Wars. The amounts of the scholarships vary due to donor money and interest. " We encourage students to pick
three recommendations. Next, the applicant is required to take the three-part Graduate Records Examination consisting of verbal, quantitative and analytical questions, DeMarcus said. "Students are usually accepted for 48 months and renewal applications are required after a year but most students are renewed. Your grades have to really drop low to not get renewed," DeMarcus said. The ORISE carries out national and international programs in science and engineering education, training and management systems, energy and environment systems and medical sciences. These programs are conducted for the DOE through a contract with Oak Ridge Associated Universities, a multiuniversity consortium established in 1946. For application information contact Marcia DeMarcus or Sandra Johnson at 1-800-5697749.
