`Salute to Education Week' recognizes outstanding UCO faculty, students By Rob Gal!even Student Writer The Nigh Institute of State Government and the Max Chambers Library at UCO will host the 3rd annual "Salute to Education Week," Oct. 30-Nov. 3. "It is an annual event that has been designed to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding students and faculty on our campus," said Carl Reherman, executive director of the Office of Outreach. "The weeklong program allows each of the five colleges, the library and the Nigh Institute to provide selected speakers and activities that bring a positive effort to the general student and faculty bodies." The program will also focus on the importance of a metropolitan university in higher education and the outreach activities it provides in the community for

nontraditional students. Gerald Turner, keynote speaker and president of Southern Methodist University, will discuss the role of a metropolitan university at a luncheon to be held at noon, Oct. 31 in the Grand Ballroom of the University Center. Individual speakers from each of the colleges will be introduced at the luncheon, as well as the winner of the Julian Rothbaum Award, an award given to a student who has been selected as the most outstanding student of the year. As part of"Salute to Education Week," the College of Liberal Arts sponsored Oklahoma artist Greg Burns. Burns was born with arthrogryposis, a muscle and joint disease which affects the use of his arms and legs. Burns draws with a pen gripped in his right hand while he adds watercolor to his drawings with a VSee SALUTE, Page 4

Sidewalks: Latest campus construction breakthrough By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer This week UCO students welcomed a technological breakthrough in pedestrian transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sidewalks. Valerie Ogiela, an accounting senior, said the sidewalks were helpful during rainy weather. "High heels and mud don't go together," she said. New lights should illuminate walkways

sometime in the next couple of weeks, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president of administration. The campus police, however, warned that the new walkways are not parking spaces. Greg Tunnel, parking services manager, said cars parked on walkways will be ticketed or towed away. A rash of progress in some areas of VSee SIDEWALKS, Page 4

EDITORIAL

Pushing the public's hot button—feeding the masses' frenzy There is a button at the Oval Office in the White House that dictates the fates and futures of most in the modern world. It is the button that will mobilize the nuclear warhead which ticks away under the White House like a time bomb, and three of the highest ranking U.S government officials preside over it: the President, the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chief of Staff. One push of that hot button and life as we know it will change forever. To a lesser degree, yet just as pertinent a point, the media stands poised over the public's hot button. As agenda setters and gatekeepers, the media dictate and determine the slant of today's news. This immense power of telling people what to think should be bridled with the responsibility 9f getting the facts straight. The freedom of the press belongs to the people; it is the people—and not the bottom line—the media should serve. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Nations have been leveled and generations lost with far less. To run stories based solely on hearsay and gossip just to gain an upper hand over the competition is not only irresponsible; it is downright unprofessional. Of course, in the newsreporting business, whoever gets the story out first gets read first, but if the facts are wrong—like when the Chicago Tribune proclaimed on front page that Thomas Dewey won the presidency over Harry Truman in 1948—it doesn't really matter how hot the story is when it hit the presses. What matters is that the facts are wrong a faux paux the Tribune's peers never let it forget or live down. So when does the media know which hot buttons to push or let live? There is no hard and fast rule to this, but caution can be exercised within-these constraints—always have the public interest at heart, and never feed the frenzy of the masses. —

LETTERS

Opinions should be backed with more homework am writing in reference to an article that was published in the Oct. 5 edition of The Vista. The column was titled "Promise Keepers to save mankind". In that article, the author discouraged a Christian organization called Promise Keepers. My only request is that she do her homework and gather the proper information on a topic before forming an opinion on it. Not once did she address this as a religious arena where men come together to praise and worship Jesus Christ, or that it was to help make these men more sensitive to the issues that face society today, and their role in that. These meetings help them to

get back to the basics of what they want of be as Christians, men, husbands, fathers and so on. This is about letting the Lord guide their past, resulting in a better understanding of who they are, thus enriching their lives at home. This is about more than a "no women allowed sign," it's about men letting down their guard with other men for support and encouragement. I see this as a step forward, not backward. I think it is a tragedy when people are not aware of the effect that this has had on men, and their families. They are making a "promise" to be a man of God; strong, honest, and committed. I feel that these elements are dying and something that our society has

Graduate student sends thank yous for educational experience I would like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty, administration, staff and fellow students for the most rewarding educational experience of my life. The distinguished history of teacher education in this great institution is evident in the quality of instruction unequaled in this state. Special thanks go to the

following individuals: Dr. Kathleen Black, Dr. Donna Cobb, Dr. Ben Duncan, Dr. Julie Regal, Dr. Melinda Green, Suzie Johnston, Dr. Darlene Kluka and Dr. Virginia Peters. Again, my sincere. thanks and heartfelt appreciation. —Bill Gordon Graduate student

gone without for way too long. People who are willing to stand up for what is right, no matter what. Respected church men from across the nation go in groups to hear motivational words, sing hymns, and pray for concerns. My father is one of the men who has attended a rally. He's an inspiration to me and a dedicated Christian, husband, father and friend. So, in response to the article written before, your husband doesn't have to attend those meetings, but it will be his and your loss for missing the joy and blessing that it could have brought to him and your family —April Rowden UCO student

campus construction now allows students to walk almost anywhere on campus without scaling a fence or fording a pond. According to Mr. Farrel Rossen, assistant director of the Physical Plant, the new Central Plant project is too making progress. Rossen said the progress might seem slow to many but that was because some projects depended on the progress of others. "The grass can't go in until the sidewalks are finished. The sidewalks can't go in until the pipe work is done," said Rossen. "This is a very unique and complex project. It was due to finish by the end of August, but due to weather-related problems and additional work, they (the construction workers) have been here longer than they anticipated," he said. On Oct. 11, Don McUsic, superintendent of Boldt Construction Co., reported to Rossen that construction work on the Central Plant project was 95 percent complete. A week later, Rossen reported that all but one percent has been wrapped up. "I'm very happy with Boldt's work," said Widener. "I've dzveloped a lot of passion for this project." Widener said the construction company is not the only successful element in the project. "I'm learning a lot about the people on this campus," he said. Widener said students' patience with the inconveniences will soon be rewarded with the long-awaited completion of the Central Plant project. UCO departmental heads meet every Wednesday morning with construction, electric and other utility officials to report on progress and problems. UCO officials inspect the finished

work and either give approval or order revisions. These meetings are important because developments must be coordinated between the different crews contracted and subcontracted for the jobs. "Boldt hired somebody to dig up the sidewalk. Then they hired somebody to do the base work for the sidewalk. Then they hired another contractor to pour the concrete for the sidewalk," said Widener. This did not include the contractor who supplies the cement and cement truck. "We have a lot of different people at our table. They all have different interests. All of them want to do a good job for UCO, but all of their jobs are not interrelated," said Widener. "The Central Plant is being tested and will soon go on line. "Now we're getting everybody

Administration, staff venture into teaching at UCO By John Clanton Staff Writer

•

dministrators and staff members at UCO have moved from their offices to the classrooms to teach. Fifty UCO students enrolled in President George Nigh's class, titled "Oklahoma Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow." Nigh, who started teaching Oklahoma history, social studies, general business and world geography at McAlester High School, said he loved teaching the class, "I felt I was in my roots again." Nigh's five-week class focused on state pride, state history, famous Oklahomans and Oklahomans who achieve, said

Nigh. Nigh used clips and interviews from his public television show, "Oklahoma Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," guest speakers and class discussions as teaching tools for his class. "In this class, there will be a particular focus on Oklahomans who have made a contribution to

the state," said Nigh. "We've asked all administrators to consider the possibility of teaching a class," said Nigh. Nigh wilfteach the class again next semester. Other administrators teaching classes include Carl. Reherman, director of the Office of Outreach, who teaches a class

about urban violence and the Vietnam War on a regular basis. Dick Burpee, interim vice president for administration and vice president for development/ community relations, will teach a class entitled "Contemporary Political Events." Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, is scheduled to teach a class in January entitled,

"Contemporary Issues in Higher Education." Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president for student services, and Dr. George Avellano, dean of the graduate college, will also be assuming roles as educators. "I think,that between now and next summer, you will see many administrators in the classroom," said Nigh.

Latest tidbits, trivia on construction By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

• Four lakes will be constructed to handle longstanding problems of drainage and runoff. These are Thatcher Lake (the lake in front of the University Center), the lake to be located east of Howell Hall, the lake west of the fire station and the lake on the new soccer field. • Some of the pipes that have been replaced are over 90 years old. • The new sidewalks were installed extra wide to allow emergency vehicles access to the interior campus. • Thatcher Lake is slated to be filled temporarily. It will be drained when the liner that has been ordered arrives, after which it will be refilled. The lake's design allows it to be drained and filled repeatedly, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president of administration.

Million Man March marks message of unity among minority By Judy Simpson

Student Writer Afterthoughts about the Million Man March held Oct. 16 in Washington, D.C. were positive among some black UCO students and staff. Most agreed the march's message of unification for the black community was a pertinent one, although opinions differed on Minister Louis Farrakhan's speech. Yvonne Washington, sophomore, said she felt the march was a positive step towards the future. However, Washington said that although Farrakhan's "unity is great...he's not unifying everyone, just certain groups, and eliminating everyone else." Latasha Conley, a senior and student coordinator for UCO's Multicultural Student Services, said the march showed there is strength in unity. "It will increase productivity

in the black community and help to decrease crime and violence," she said. The fact that women were not invited to the march was not an issue with Conley. "The focus was not on women. The march was addressed to black men and women did participate indirectly by helping to plan the event," said Conley. Barry Lofton, Multicultural Student Services coordinator, said the march spoke to black men of the need for a commitment towards improving the black community. "It's about standing up and being held accounted for," he said. Lofton said those who opposed Farrakhan's speech needed to separate his past from the purpose of the march. "People who have problems with the march need to realize that a better black community makes a better America," he said. -

1995-96 Bronze Book seeking photographs of UCO seniors The Bronze Book staff will be taking graduation seniors' pictures again this year. "This tradition was reinstated last year because so many students called and wanted to be in the book," said academics section editor Paisley Krout.

photographer, will take the pictures at the following times: 8-10:30 a.m. Oct. 30; 5-8 p.m. Oct. 31; 1-5 p.m. Nov. 1; 5-8 p.m, Nov. 2; 8-10:30 a.m. Nov. 3. The pictures will be taken in Room 207, Thatcher Hall. All seniors with pictures taken will be given a discount of 10 percent off the regular price of $14 for the yearbook.

exchange on how the First Amendment applies to student newspapers. Assistant Attorney General Gretchen Harris will examine issues of potential liability connected with student publications and will explore preventive approaches to challenging situations. Besides Hanebutt, three other

individuals with firsthand experience in student publications will present a panel discussion. Hanebutt said the Society of Professional Journalists, the Regents and others are concerned that many administrators appear to be ignorant of student press rights under the First Amendment.

"As a result, these groups are attempting to organize a statewide student press policy that will provide administrators and students with guidelines on press rights," he said. "Hopefully, this discussion will provide a starting point, a chance to learn about the problems and how to deal with them."

MOVIE REVIEW

Reality buried in Dead Presidents' convoluted plot

ith a title like Dead Presidents, you' d think the movie would be all about a bank robbery, but it isn't.

Rating The truth of the matter is that the directors of Dead Presidents, Allen and Albert Hughes (Menace II Society), didn't really define what kind of a movie their newest film would be. It could have been a preVietnam movie, a Vietnam war movie, a movie dealing with struggles of a man coming home from Vietnam or a bank robber movie. Dead Presidents tried to pack all these ideas into a loosely tied two-hour plot.

The movie stars Larenz Tate (the maniacal 0-Dog in Menace II Society) as Anthony Curtis, a young kid from the Bronx who doesn't want to go to college. So he joins the Marine Corps instead and spends the next four years in Special Forces group. Expecting a hero's welcome upon his return home, Curtis is greeted only with an unstable wife, a child, a friend on heroin and chants of "It's a white man's war." Curtis struggles to get out of his problems and resorts to falling back on his combat experience to plan a poorly executed heist. The movie has some welldirected scenes, a few dramatic, heartwrenching moments and some top-notch acting, but these fine points were overshadowed

by the unimportant and overdone parts of the movie. Up-and-coming actor Tate did a good job of transforming from an immature, inexperienced high school kid into a worldly and tormented young adult. However, the Vietnam War section was unconvincing and entirely too long. Shot just south of Orlando, Fla., the Vietnam scenes were entirely unconvincing., It looked more like kids playing guns. Although the friendships made in the movie are important, there are parts that could have been abbreviated and made more entertaining. The conclusion is a disappointment as well. There are about three places where the movie could have ended, but it keeps going on and

In conclusion, Dead Presidents is not a bad film, but it's not incredibly entertaining or stirring either.

UCO's physics society travels to Missouri for club meeting By Nicki Cormier Staff writer Students from .UCO's physics department attended the fall Zone-12 Society of Physics Students meeting Oct. 20-21 at the Southwestern Missouri State University. The Society of Physics Students is an organization primarily for undergraduate science students. Zone-12 covers Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The society meets twice a year—in the spring and the fall—with UCO

sponsoring it last spring, said Dr. John Guthrie, assistant professor of physics. "The real emphasis of the meeting is to have students present the results of their research projects. It gives them some experience doing what real scientists do," Guthrie said. "The guest speaker was Dr. Clint Sprott from Madison University in Wisconsin. Dr. Sprott dabbles in the Chaos Theory, which has to do with the fact that some physical systems, in order to predict what is going to happen later in time, have to know exactly

what the current state of the system is," Guthrie said. The Chaos Theory proves that one cannot predict accurately the temporal behavior of any physical system. For example, meteorologists would like to predict the weather, but as it turns out, that is an impossibility because any minuscule variable can change it. Both meteorologists and economists are studying the Chaos Theory to probe the limit of making long-term predictions, Guthrie said. 4)

Resident Hall Association sponsors 'safe trick or treat' for UCO students UCO's Resident Hall Association (RHA) is sponsoring a safe trick or treat for kids at 6 p.m. Oct. 31 that will begin in Murdaugh Hall lobby. Everyone is welcomed to attend. "We like to think we know that all candy will be safe," said Brandi Fennell, RHA student activity chairperson. The lobby and room doors will be lit up- and decorated. Refreshments will be

provided. To participate, call Fennell at 341-2980, Ext. 4755. Other festivities planned for Halloween night: • Children at UCO's daycare center will go trick or treating at the Administration Building. • UCO's basketball team will provide a night full of entertainment at Hamilton Field House, 8 p.m. Admission is free for all events.

Tuberculosis scare prompts skin tests on campus By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

recent possible exposure to the tuberculosis virus by a UCO student has prompted the City County Health Department to send out letters to around 500 student and faculty members asking them to be screened for the disease. "Letters were sent out with our help to everyone who had a class with this young man and everyone who attended class in the same classroom following his class," said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, interim director of the Student Health Center. "The problem with tuberculosis is that although it is treatable, it is sometimes difficult to detect. The student concerned was first tested here for the disease and was negative at that point. The second time he came in, he was very ill. He has since been hospitalized and is better now, although he is not back in school. "His particular type of tuberculosis was resistant to the first line drug which are the first five drugs used to treat tuberculosis, so they had to go so the second line of medication," Wallenmeyer said. Although there is a small chance that someone could have contacted this disease from the student through attending the same classes, it is not possible to contract it from passing in the hallway or outdoors. It is a disease that one usually has to have been exposed to long term. "None of the student's family or friends have so far tested positive for the disease. I want everyone to know the disease is treatable. It is nothing to be panicked about," Wallenmeyer said. The Student Health Center is working with the state Health Department to offer the skin test. Students and faculty who received letters are required to have the skin test done, Wallenmeyer said. "However, if anyone has a concern, or has any kind of

questions, they can come and we will be glad to give them a skin test free of charge," Wallenmeyer said. The skin test consists of an injection using a very small needle to inject the antigen just under the skin. If the test is negative, there will be no reaction. A positive test will consist of a small lump. The City County Health will give a free chest X-ray to anyone with a positive test. Even if the chest X-ray is negative, they will still

Campus police teach youngsters anti-drug tips By Mike Gustafson Staff Writer

CO campus police officers went to Edmond's Ida Freeman Elementary School Oct. 11 to teach children tips on safety and to promote anti-drug messages. Officers Christy Collins and

"They want us to come back every week." The police officers made grab bags of materials donated by UCO, the Edmond police and

The teachers were very pleased at the elementary school, said Kathy Johnson, secondgrade teacher. "We would love to have them back again," she said. "All of the officers were really good with the children. They presented things on a level that the kids could understand." This event was not the first

time the UCO campus police has joined the Edmond community to help school children learn about safety. "We helped the kids learn about geography and safety when we took their pictures and fingerprinted them for passports they used for learning about other countries," said Forbes. OD

By Carol Murray Student Writer UCO English majors and minors may be interested to know that the English department is offering a feewaiver scholarship for the spring semester. The requirements of the scholarships are that applicants must be full-time students, Oklahoman residents and an English major or minor. Graduate students are not eligible. To be accepted as an applicant, students must submit each of the following: • A letter stating the reasons for applying, which should include the students' need or merit. • Two letters of recommendation from college English professors—one may be from a high school teacher if two college recommendations are not available. • A 500-word essay or a creative work may be supplemented. • Transcripts of college and high school records, and a copy of current mid-term grades. The number of scholarships available will be determined after all the applications have been reviewed, said Dr. Gladys Lewis, chairperson of the fee-waiver scholarship committee. Applications must be turned in by 5 p.m., Nov. 15. Recipients of the awards will be notified by mail before the spring semester. For more information, visit the English department office in Room 101B of the Liberal Arts Building, or call 341-2980, Ext. 5015.

"We told the kids about bike safety, crossing the street and how not to get into cars with strangers," he said. "They learned a lot about safety and had fun while they did it."

According to Morningstar's data, CREF's "minuscule" 0.31% average fund expense charge was less than half that charged by comparable funds. 3 TIAA's traditional annuity also charges no fees

UCO thumps West Texas By Scott Moore Sports Writer

After dropping two-straight games at home against the Lone Star Conference's two-top teams (27-21 to Texas A&MKingsville Oct. 14 and 14-7 to Angelo State Oct. 21), the Central Oklahoma football team was carrying a lot of frustration. On Saturday they took out that frustration on West Texas A&M, drubbing them 43-6 at Kimbrough Memorial Stadium in Canyon, Texas. The Bronchos rolled up 559 yards of total offense, with 457 of that coming on the ground (a new season high). Three different Broncho running backs surpassed the century mark in rushing yards, with Zack Leonard leading the way with 217 yards on 31 carries. Jubarko Gaines and Tyrone Baker added 101 yards each, with Gaines carrying 29 times and Baker four. Leonard's 217 yards and 31 carries are both new season highs. The 43-6 victory is the most lopsided win for the Bronchos since a 44-6 win over Cameron in the ninth game of the 1992 season. With the win, UCO improves its' record to 6-3 overall and 2-3 in the conference. West Texas A&M drops to 5-

4 overall and 1-4. The Buffaloes are back in the LSC this season after dropping out of the conference after the 1990 season. They have struggled in the conference this season, losing their four games by an average margin of 39.8 points. Defensively, they entered the contest allowing 470.9 yards per game in eight games this season. West Texas A&M did enter the contest with the LSC's best passing offense, averaging 335.1 yards per games, but the Bronchos stuffed that attack by giving up just 204 yards on 18of-38 attempts and intercepting four passes. UCO's interception leader, conerback Hurley Tarver, grabbed two of those Broncho Cornerback Hurley Tarver stops an Angleo St. running attack. The Bronchos dropped West Texas A&M, 43-6 on Saturday.

UCO excels at LSC Championships By Richard Tortorelli Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma cross-country men's and women's teams placed second and sixth in the Lone Star Conference Championship Meet Saturday hosted by UCO. Frank Simon and Abel Kahuni earned all-conference honors by placing fourth and fifth individually. Their times were 31:58 and 33:09 respectively in the 10,000-meter course . "Simon and Abel ran exceptionally well," said crosscountry coach Paul Parent. "We knew Frankie Simon was a good 10K running prospect and he proved that by finishing fourth at the conference meet." Parent said he was impressed with South Plains Junior College transfer, Able Kanuni's performance. "The amazing thing was that four guys broke the course record," he said. "Abel finished fifth and almost broke it himself," said Parent. 'We were real elated." Kate Samarija , who has been the women's top finisher all season, led the women's team once again.

Ageless memories: Days of royalty, romance By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

er wrinkled hands lie quietly on the marble table as she tells of memories provoked by old photographs and annuals. One of Iris Jenkins Miller's fondest memories of her time spent at Central State Teacher's College is of being crowned the 1929 May Queen. The May Festival is a long- forgotten tradition of the college, when children wrapped May poles with colored ribbons and the student body named the most popular man and woman on campus May King and Queen. "I had a good manager," Iris said, crediting her college sweetheart, Albert Young, who worked diligently at getting her elected Queen. Running against 11 other women, freshmen to seniors, the 18-year-old beauty with a classic '20s finger-wave hairdo, claimed the title while in her , freshman year. Sixty-six years later, Iris speaks fondly of Albert, and affectionately refers to him as "Ab." "There he is," she said, pointing to a football picture of a young man with a large "C" on his chest. "That's Ab. "He was the captain of the football team." Iris and her friends attended every football game and cheered the team as part of the pep club. She dated Ab for a year and admits she was a little boy crazy during her days at Central. But her infatuation with the opposite sex was curtly discouraged by Central's president, John G. Mitchell. "He was very strict," she said. "One time I was walking down the hall holding a boy's hand and Mitchell saw me." "He called me into his office the next day and told me that we weren't allowed to hold hands at school." When asked if she ever broke that rule again, Iris replied with a mischievous smile, "only when Mitchell wasn't watching." In 1929, dormitories were not part of the college campus and Iris, like most students lived in a "rooming house." With 12 girls in one house, "boys were the topic of most conversations," she said. One evening, Iris was holding hands with her boyfriend while they sat on the front porch swing. An older resident of her house told her that "if Mitchell sees you, you'll be in big trouble." "Everything was a lot different back

When Ab came back for the new semester, Iris told him of her engagement to Lewis. The couple married in 1929 when Iris was 18 and Lewis was 24.

always wanted me to look like Shirley Temple, so every night she used to roll my hair in pipe cleaners to make it curl. I preferred that to the curling tongs my friend's mom used. She used to heat them on the gas stove. Oh boy, was my friend's hair frizzy! If you were smart, you would always avoid my Grandma's house on a Monday. Come rain or shine, she would wash clothes in a dolly tub and used a peggy stick as a rotator. If it was raining, she always hung the clothes around the fireplace on a "clothes horse," the old time clothes drier. My granddad would always repair his own shoes. He would buy strips of leather and with the aid of a "cobblers last" and some small nails he made his shoes last for years. Imagine doing that these days! We had an indoor toilet where we lived. We were one of the few. So what do you think people did before toilet paper was invented? Why, people used newspapers of course. So you see. Journalists have always served the public to the best of their ability.

Lost Paradise found at John Milton's gravestone By Susan Reger Staff Writer After banging the door of the small church in south London for two hours, the determined, darkhaired professor was finally greeted by the organist. Inside the church, he found a little gravestone on the floor near the pulpit that he gazed at in fascination for a long time. When the organist was not looking, he leaned over and kissed the gravestone of 15th century author, politician and poet John Milton. The visit to St. Giles Church, Cripplegate, was part of a pilgrimage taken by Dr. Allen Rice, assistant professor of English at UCO, who traveled to England and Wales last summer to present a paper at the Fifth International Milton Symposium at the University of Wales in Bangor. Rice said he was surrounded by big-name Miltonists from India, China, Japan, Canada, England, Spain, France and a multitude of Americans. Rice's paper, The Mysteria of Urania, discusses author Milton's muse, an inspiring spirit, who was present during the writing of his most famous work, Paradise Lost, written while Milton was blind. The muse came to Milton during the night as he slept and he would dictate these "whisperings" to his daughter or a student as soon as he woke up, said Rice. "My argument was that Milton's muse was the Holy Spirit, said Rice. "The muse led Milton, who considered himself a prophet, to answer all kinds of questions the Bible doesn't explain." This argument brought on hours of heated debate among Miltonists at the symposium, he said. "Of all the really huge name writers of American and English literature, Milton is the one people have never heard of," said Rice. Some students have heard of Paradise Lost, the story of Satan's fall from heaven and his subsequent temptation of Adam and Eve and their fall from grace. "As Satan moved from angel to devil, he tried to duplicate his own misery in Adam and Eve," said Rice. Next to the Bible, Rice said he considered Milton's epic to be

the greatest work written. "The characters throughout the novel do not relate to humanity as we know it, said Rice. "For those confused about God or the Bible, Milton's writings justified the ways of God to man." People who read Milton's books came away claiming that he was either a prophet or a blasphemer. "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven," is a famous Milton quote from Paradise Lost taken from a scene when Satan woke up on a burning lake with fellow demons who were unhappy with their surroundings, said Rice. "Satan claimed to be happy where he was," he said.

Rice said people who read Paradise Lost cannot help but fall in love initially with Satan, who was portrayed as romantic, grand, eloquent a n d inspiring. "God w a s portrayed as kind of boring, he said. "Sin is a hoot and Satan is attractive for a short time." "Milton" is the name of a class Rice teaches every spring semester at UCO. Rice said class is ideal for students who love theology, the

Bible, classics, mythology, they are old and people are poetry and religion. making fun of them." "Once, during the semester, I Rice said this exercise ask the students to write one described the manner in which Milton wrote Paradise Lost and other final stories. More students have For those confused remembered Milton from history about God or the Bible, classes for his influence on Milton's writings America's founding fathers. "Milton was ahead of his time justified the ways of as he argued for absolute God to man. freedom of the press, religious freedom and freedom of speech, Dr. Allen Rice said Rice. "Milton's writings and Assistant professor of English arguments were influential in the paragraph where they are giving formation of the Bill of Rights." God something new to say that is Those who haven't met not satirical," said Rice. Milton have missed something in "Before they begin to write, I life, said Rice. turn out the light and ask them to "Milton is epic, theology, the shut their eyes while imagining classics, the learning."

Every fall break, Gaddis takes a group of 22 photojournalism students to Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico and the surrounding areas. There the photographers spend four days, from dawn to dusk, making photographs of historic and modern New Mexico. Mark Zimmerman, a third time "Taos tripper," said that because he has been twice before, it was a lot harder this year to find that perfect shot. "I didn't waste as much film this
