`unusual' track record at UCO

Clinton's campaign promise on student loans pays off

By Julie Dye Staff Writer

By Paul Eddy Staff Writer The UCo Vista Invites you to "Celbreate" with them. We've desided to embrace our mistakes in pas tissues.

Column A sometimes not so perfect papier The Vista is no Neverland publication, but sometimes our attention slips, and misprints shied through.

Still it shouldn't take a fulbrught scholar to catch most mistakes, a lucky thing as we don't have one here, but small thngs can appear bigger than real ity.

We wish we were parfect, and we sometime are, but we usually ar not and the same is true with everyone anywhere.

Just looking at all my mistakes can make me cringe and crawl away, but mostly I'm proud about what I say.

And though the meaning is somtimes unclear, it happens a lot around here; I think I can still somehow tell what I'm trying to say.

Really this would be funni if it weren't so true, there are tymes I wonder if it's worth a try, it is.

This paper is prone to mistakes, whitch our readers are so kind to point out to us, and believe it or not we really appreciate this.

All in all we put a goo paper out, but things come up and we fall down on our faces.

After all none of us are professionals yet, we're still learning to spel punctuate and all sortsa o wonderful grammer rules, we are just students no more and sometimes less.

But if we make mis takes it's only natural you see we're human too, I thnk.

hose who voted for President Bill Clinton because of his campaign promises to help students can finally hold him to his word.

The National and Community Service Trust Act was signed into law Sept. 21, and students may now start applying for AmeriCorps, a national program which gives students educational awards for performing community service work.

"AmeriCorps members are beginning service in communities this fall, in projects addressing local needs in the areas of education, the environment, public safety, and health and human needs," said Gary Kowalczyk, acting chief financial officer of AmeriCorps.

"Members will be eligible to receive an education award following successful completion of service." $$$ Students receive a $4,725

pursuant to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, other than a parent loan," Ward said.

"The student can't do it to pay back a loan their parents got for the student." $$$ He said the payment goes directly to the loan holder for education already received or the institution the student plans to attend. $$$ The award may also be split— with some going towards an existing loan and some to an authorized college for future use. $$$ "The money must be used within seven years of completion of their service, and you must be 17 years or older (16 in some programs) to participate. In most cases, you also need to be a high school graduate," he said. $$$ For an application to the program or more information about AmeriCorps, call 1-800-94-ACORPS (22677).

Ailing Health Center suffers funding sickness

H

eatth. It's something few students, most of whom are young and active, worry about. But it's not rare to wait in a line at the Student Health Center to see a doctor or nurse to treat your skin rash, sprained ankle or broken thumb.

On average, 20 to 30 students visit the UCO Student Health Center each day. For a mere $5 per visit, one can have minor afflictions attended by an on staff nurse, and for $5 more one can have their more complex ailments looked at by a part-time doctor, making the center one of the best bargains on campus.

Unfortunately, for an institution dedicated to insuring the vitality and well-being of students, the Student Health Center is looking a little run-down these days.

With all the construction about, one might think the condition of the center would improve, but instead it has suffered.

The college spent $2.5 million to bring the campus up to Americans with Disabilities Act standards. They made the bathrooms and even the reception desk in the health center accessible to wheelchairs.

But then they allotted $52 million more to make the campus inaccessible. For some reason, the Master Plan calls for tearing up all the sidewalks. Because of this, a wheelchair could not possibly reach the front door of the health center.

And speaking of the front door, that's where the sign, which once helped to acknowledge the center's existence, is located.

Too bad no one can see it.

But thank goodness no one can see the state of neglect the grounds, what's left of them, are in. The flower beds are overgrown with weeds and the paint on the exterior of the building is flaking off like dead skin.

It's obvious the college's administration has not made the Student Health Center one of its priorities. Even though its budget received a slight increase, the raise was not enough to finance the addition of a new physician.

Instead, the center's hours of operation were cut at the beginning of the semester, and the weekend schedule obliterated.

This scheduling shuffle freed up more money so the center could hire a second part time physician.

The Student Health Center is worth more to the college alive than dead, so it seems improbable it will close any time in the near future. In a time of budget cuts and tightening belts, the university can't afford to not give this center the attention it needs.

New pay lot called vacant wasteland have watched with interest as the department of Parking Services turned one of the busiest and best parking lots on campus into a vacant wasteland. The parking attendants sit idly in their booths hour after hour, silently comtemplat-

ing their twiddling thumbs as hundreds of prime parking spaces go unused. Parking spaces, I might add, that students have already paid a fee to park in. If this is an example of the proactive leadership and campus "improvement" programs we

can expect from the administration, I can only suggest that they all go back to school instead of trying to run one.

SGA election booths blasted by student

T

he Student Gov e r n m e n t Association (SGA) elections for vice president just got over 10/28/94. As per our constitution, the current vice president is the chairman of the election committee, but since we didn't have a vice president, President Ben Harris was supposed to assign one. He assigned a senator/friend of his to the chairman's position who resigned after a couple of weeks.

Then he assigned another sena-

tor/friend who resigned the night before the elections. On the day of elections, he was upset with the speaker of the house for not picking up the slack. We didn't have faculty/staff sponsors to sit at the booths and every session of elections opened up at least 15 minutes to 30 minutes late.

Senators and campaigners were running all around campus looking for faculty members to sit at the booths.

Then Harris appointed another friend/senator who said "I did-

n't know all this work was not taken care of. I thought all I'd have to do is help count the ballots." He didn't even show up when ballots were being counted.

President Harris, here's what I have to say: Your responsibilities are to the UCO students first.

You should have made sure that the election goes smooth rather than being out there campaigning for your friends.

Student takes offense to Halloween

/

first of all want to say that I submit this letter with all sincerity, not to degrade but to inform and maybe correct some misunderstandings.

I am very offended by an association made in your article concerning historic origins of Halloween. Christianity will not have nor have they ever had any association with the observance of Halloween. To clarify, the Roman Catholic religion observes "All Hallows Eve" and

"All Saints Day." I as a Christian, that being of the Judeo-Christian, believe and Biblically base that Christianity as being a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and not a religion .

In addition, the "sinister side" of Halloween is not kept in the shadows but is merely presented as a half-truth that says what you don't know can't hurt you.

This article doesn't skim the surface of the truth about

Halloween and its origins. There is an enormous origin and faith differential between Judeo Christians and "Christian" Roman Catholic practices.

Yes, the darkness can be outshined but the darkness is around us everyday. It can only be vanquished when we observe God daily and quit celebrating Satan (as harmless as Halloween may seem) any day.

Reader cites Hitler's 'procedural correctness' with SGA squabble

have access to my Social Security number. The answer is no! The law says they do not have this right. Neither does Ben Harris.

You also seem concerned about the "procedural correctness" with which this situation has been handled, and expressed sentiment that the SGA shold spend more time addressing student concerns. Is the privacy of one's records not a student concern?

Maybe it would help you if I explained it this way: in being sworn in, the senators pledge to uphold the laws of the university, the state and federal government.

Amy Melvin and twelve other "nerdy sticklers to the rules" (as you so eloquently and wittily called them) have tried to do just that: uphold the law. If you find "procedural correctness to be annoying, perhaps you would have felt more at home in Germany in the early 1940's, when looking the other way was in vogue.

Incidentally, you might want to read up on something in German history call "Article 48". It was an emergency clause that did away with "procedural correctness" (as well as Civil Rights) and it enabled Hitler to come to power.

But then again that was such a "petty" little piece of history.

egarding Amy J. Snyder's letter in the Oct. 25 Vista : Ms. Snyder, Ben Harris' excuse of "I didn't know" and your justification that there were no sighn posted in the enrollment center when he intentionally invaded Charlie Harjo's privacy, is the oldest excuse in the book.

Do you need a sign to tell you not to cheat on a test in class? How about one to tell you not to run over pedestrians on the street? It is not the responsibility of the law to inform the citizen, but rather of the citizen to be informed of the law.

And just how "petty" do you think these allegations are? We're not talking about speeding tickets.

We are talking about a federal law, which Ben Harris violated.

Legislation which states that my grades are (to quote the ever-soillustrious Salt-N-Pepa ) "none of your business," regardless of whether you happen to know my Social Security number. Do you think the school nurse has a right to look at my grades just because I wrote down my Social Security number before receiving services at the Health Center? How about the food service worker who has access to my Social Security number every time I eat in the cafeteria? What about my parents or employers of the IRS, all of whom

DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAY

By Jennifer Palmer

Editor-In-Chief

Thousands of students clot the intersection of Second Street and Bauman as they rush to fill their hungry stomachs or fly to work every afternoon after classes.

And often, the last thought on their minds is the car next to them, or letting some poor sod in—or if they are blocking a driveway— as they wait to spurt through the short green light 25 cars ahead of them.

The only problem is that the Edmond Fire Department is located on that intersection, too, and employees there are concerned about the students who are ignoring the signs asking drivers: "DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAY." "We just want to get the word out. It would just be nice, so we could get out to the emergency calls. It could become a very dangerous problem," said Major Doug Hall of the Edmond Fire Department.

"It is very important. What if it was their house we need to get out to?"

Please be considerate. Thank you.

Red Cross offers health, safety, HIV/AIDS education courses Hearing continues in serial killings CAMPBELLTOWN, Australia (AP) — The serial killer who slaughtered seven backpackers bound them with ropes, wire loops and black electric tape "like handcuffs" to control them, police testified Oct 31.

Officers appeared in Campbelltown Local Court to describe the restraints and other evidence found near the bodies of the victims — three Germans, two Britons and two Australians.

The defendant, 49-year-old Ivan Milat, again attended the preliminary hearing that will determine if there is enough evidence to warrant a trial for multiple murder and attempted murder.

A figure-eight of electrical tape shaped "like handcuffs" was found about 60 yards from the remains of German tourists Anja Habschied, 20. and Gabor Neugebauer, 21.

In addition to the loops of tape, Constable Mark Klin said he also found a bundle of ropes and an adjustable leather strap.

Neugebauer had been shot at least six times. and stabbed.

Habscheid had been decapitated. and her head has never been found.

Italian love crimes involve murder ROME (AP) — The coroner counted 24 stab wounds on the body of the red-haired girl who hoped to become a fashion model.

Police charged Stefania Massarin's former boyfriend with the murder. And Italians joined the victim's distraught mother in her tearful cry: - Why? Why? The Oct. 22 slaying in Genoa was the latest reminder of a rise in crimes around Italy carried out by jealous or jilted lovers, many still just adolescents or young adults.

Oil refinery explosion injures three WESTLAKE, La. (AP) — An explosion Oct. 28 at the Conoco oil refinery here injured at least three workers and rattled buildings at least a quarter of a mile away.

The injured workers, who were not identified, were taken to area hospitals with apparently minor burns, said Conoco spokeswoman Cathy Derifield.

She said the explosion occurred in the catalytic cracking unit of the refinery while it was being started up.

The 8:20 a.m. blast sparked a fire at the refinery but the Calcasieu Parish Emergency Planning Office said it was contained.

Westlake Postmaster Charles Thompson said the explosion could be felt at the nearby post office.

"We're pretty close, about a quarter of a mile away."

Thompson said in a telephone interview. "It jarred the doors."

Thompson said there was a thick cloud of dark smoke immediately after the explosion, but "it's getting thin now."

Khmer Rouge abductees still sought PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — The Defense Ministry said Oct. 28 it could not confirm reports that three Westerners abducted by the Khmer Rouge were killed last month.

Soldiers stormed a jungle hideout Oct. 26 where the hostages had been kept, but there was no sign of the Westerners, a Defense Ministry statement said.

It said searchers did not presently know the whereabouts of Briton Mark Slater, 26, Frenchman Jean Michel Braquet, 27, and Australian David Wilson, 29. The three were kidnapped July 26 in an attack on a train in southern Cambodia. The Khmer Rouge had demanded $150,000 for their release.

"The prime ministers have ordered Gen. Ke Kim Yan, chief of the general staff, to continue searching for the three hostages, and their corpses if they were executed," the Cambodian statement said.

Teaching his 'hobby' Enthusiasm for teaching brings new UCO professor out of retirement

By Jennifer Palmer Editor-In-Chief

H

e walked in and his eyes rolled quickly to his watch.

9:38 a.m. Two minutes early.

He silently started class anyway, scratching something down on the board.

The room swelled with nervousness.

"Man, what's this—a quiz?" A nervous-looking freshman rattled from the middle of the room.

"Looks like it. Are we just supposed to know this stuff?" someone else mumbled.

"Yeah, he hasn't taken roll yet. You know when he doesn't take roll we're having a quiz—That's how he takes roll," a young man said quickly, and snapped his book shut.

The young man pulled out a piece of paper, and ran his fingers through his hair.

It was the beginning of the semester, and some of the students were having a difficult time figuring out the "tactics" of this new professor.

They had figured out one thing; however, he worked relentlessly—and he expected his students to do the same—no excuses.

The advertising teacher walked over to the lecture podium, gripped the front edge and leaned into the microphone—his eyes shifted when he blinked, brushing over each student in the crowded classroom.

The students' faces dragged downward like a stiff audience in a seedy comedy bar. Tough crowd.

Dr. John DeSanto's suit was muted mauve and gray. He wore two small tackpins on the left lapel of his jacket, a simple, plain gold wedding band, and a flowered tie, which oddly contrasted the appearance of his stern teaching style.

"Okay," DeSanto said after a pause.

His thinning gray hair and dark eyebrows pulled back slightly as he spoke. "These are notes. They're not in the book. Have you noticed? Did you read your chapter?

It's not in there, I checked again...You can check..."

"I love to say that," he spat out sarcastically underneath his breath. Relief passed like a sigh over the students as they jotted down the notes, heads bowed.

What next? He still hadn't taken roll...

T

he 61-year-old professor proceeded with class.

Just think, he could have retired after a 36-year teaching career, and moved down here to "settle down."

But he didn't.

Originally, DeSanto had planned a "leave of absence" from teaching at St. Cloud University in Minnesota, but once he moved, his thoughts of retiring became more concrete.

"Oklahoma is one of the best kept secrets around. People are all so good, decent and polite, and I guess I see something here that is really refreshing. You people have manners, you really do.

You're really nice to new people—I can't get over that. I was really leery when I

Oklahoma is one of the best kept secrets You people have manners, you around. really do. You're really nice to new people—I can't get over that. I was really leery when I first came in here. ...

—Dr. R. John DeSanto New UCO professor first came in here."

DeSanto retired from Minnesota, but ended up taking an offer to teach two public relations evening classes at UCO, for the journalism department last semester.

DeSanto was then offered a job this semester, and he jumped at it.

"Journalism, and advertising, is my hobby—I'm really just teaching my hobby. I'm used to the hustle, you know, of school. It feels good. This is where I belong... I turned down three other jobs to get this one.

eing here, to me, is like when I first started teaching college. I feel that you need what I can give you here. That's what I see more than anything and that's why I came out of retirement," DeSanto said.

DeSanto has amassed a lot of "hobbies," too, including everything from "inventing" college mass communication programs to starting up newspapers, radio stations, teaching high school, college and even coaching hockey.

B

,,

And if his resume was a criminal rap sheet, he would spend several life terms in San Quentin. It's that long, and that detailed.

Doing his "hobby" has taken him to Nigeria, England, Scotland and Norway to create programs from journalism or public relations and mass communications, to advertising or radio broadcasting.

He has created new programs from the ground up, as well as rebuilding the "mess" of existing programs. He was even named a Nigerian "chief' for his work in that country.

"So, you know, I've done a few different things. I've even been called on several occasions to 'clean up after elephants,'"DeSanto laughed.

D

wring his career, DeSanto received 10 merit awards, four educator's grants, five fellowships (including a Senior Fulbright Fellowship to Nigeria) and the Wall Street Journal's Newspaper Fund Award in 1967, which placed him as one the nation's top 24 journalism instructors.

Also, the St. Cloud University's Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) renamed their chapter the "Dr. R. John DeSanto Chapter," in May of 1993.

"And I'm not even dead yet! Isn't that funny?"

When he first started teaching at UCO, he was commuting to a night class, and ran into some problems—and a learning experience, too.

"Last year when I was an adjunct, one of the first times I came down I had my new truck, and I also had a cellular phone.'

Do you know what I used it for the first time?

"I ran out of gas.

"And I ran out of gas about five miles from the Edmond exit. So, I called, the highway patrol came. The guy siphoned gas out of his highway patrol car into mine, then he guided me to the exit.

"He asked,'What are you doing, what do you teach over there?'

"I said, 'Well, I'm teaching two public relations classes' and he said, `Well...That's what I'm doing right now—I'm doing public relations for you!'

"I never forgot him, but I never got his name," said DeSanto.

His eyes wrinkled slightly in a smile.

His skin had a shadowy tone to it when he sat under the odd lighting in his small office.

He was an understanding man, once a student got the time to talk him outside of class. Pulling a photo from his cabinet in his small office, sometimes he would tell someone listening a story, but only briefly.

And he would often work with his office door open, absorbing the "hustle and bustle" of other students scurrying around while he graded papers.

He truly appeared to enjoy his job, and he tried to make it as easy for students to enjoy working at their jobs or college careers, too.

‘ y pet peeve is when M people waste effort.

When they don't work up to their potential, I get irritated. We're here to learn—and work," he said.

"I've had two lives. This is my second...the 'Oklahoma Life.' But I've been really lucky in life, let me tell you. Not many people get the chances I've gotten."

As he prepared for his 9:40 class, he carried an armload of boxes to portable number one. His "no nonsense" face slowly materialized, and he got quiet, focused.

He started class exactly on time and often watched his watch to make sure.

"Okay. You guys are getting an assignment. Here's the instructions," he said.

"Here they are. I'll read this one time and one time only. " "If someone's not here, don't tell them. This is competitive business, advertising.

"You'll have to learn to help yourself." A ‘

Broncho Notes

Spikers roll, push record to 25-4 Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer The Lady Broncho volleyball team extended their home win streak to 11 with three big wins, pushing their overall record to 254.

UCO faced off with division one rival Oral Roberts for the second time this season Tuesday.

The Lady Bronchos put their unbeaten home record on the line against the team that handed them their first loss of the season.

Game one was a tight contest in which ORU out hit the Lady Bronchos but could not claim the win, falling 16-14. Twenty-one kills pushed UCO past the Lady Eagles in game two.

Julie Kelley led the team with seven kills in the game while Carrie Hare added six in the 15-10 Lady Broncho victory.

The Lady Eagles capitalized on eight UCO errors to take the third game 9-15.

UCO finished off ORU in the fourth game, 15-3. Kelley finished the match with 15 kills and six service aces. Kate O'Neill and Hare added 14 kills each.

Thursday UCO hosted regional rival Emporia State. The thirdplace Lady Bronchos went headto-head with the fourth-place Hornets in battle to keep streaks alive.

The 9-0 Lady Bronchos home record was up against the ESU six match win streak.

Game one was a sloppy one but a win just the same for UCO, 156. The action picked up in the second game.

The Lady Bronchos were well on their way to an easy win when ESU came storming back. UCO was up 11-3 until Kristi King served a five point run to bring ESU within three. Behind 14-8, Ltil

the Lady Hornets fought off I I game points before falling 17-15.

UCO jumped out to a 4-1 lead before being caught in a seesaw battle in game three.

The Lady Hornets took the lead for only the second time in the match at 7-8 before UCO fought back. UCO took advantage of ESU errors and great hitting by Kelley and Angie Schoof to put the match into the books.

Friday, UCO squared off against Lone Star Conference rival West Texas A&M. WTAMU entered the game with an 11-1 record against UCO and had come from two games behind to win their first meeting.

The first game started out slow as the Lady Buffs fought to stay close at 9-7. The Lady Bronchos gave up only one more point in the game and took the game 15-8.

WTAMU scored first in game two and were leading 0-4 before UCO put together a six point rally to take the lead. A four point run put the Lady Buffs ahead again at 7-9 before pushing the score 1012.

That's when UCO said enough was enough. Hare had three big kills and O'Neill slammed one home to give the Lady Bronchos the game.

Game three went to the Lady Buffs 13-15.

UCO darted into the lead 8-3 before letting WTAMU take the lead using eight unanswered points. The Lady Bronchos came back to tie the score at 13 but dropped the game 13-15. UCO came back to win the final game 15-5, taking the match 3-1.

UCO's Wirthova loses at tourney Central Oklahoma freshman tennis standout Monika Wirthova lost in straight sets to No. 2 seed Denise Valentin 6-2, 6-2 Thursday at UCO during the Rolex National Small College Tennis Championships.

Laura Nhavene won the women's singles title in straight sets over Christina Cavina, while Oscar Bustos won the men's title in three sets over Robin Sander.

Wirthova, a native of the Czech Republic, won the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional singles title in Topeka, Kan. on Oct. 2 with five straight victories.

Broncho golfers ranked 10th In the lastest NCAA Division II golf rankings, the Central Oklahoma golf team is 10th while Florida Southern gets the top spot.

UCO traveled to Mineral Wells, Texas for the Texas Intercollegiated Monday for a tournament to complete their four-tournament fall schedule.

Broncho woes haven't stopped UCO's Aska JOE ASKA Game-By-Game

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer Despite the Bronchos recent two-game skid, senior tailback Joe Aska has kept his Harlon Hill Award (NCAA Div. II player of the year) campaign and NFL hopes alive, turning in back-to-back 100yard plus games against two of the toughest defenses in the Lone Star Conference.

As of Friday Oct. 28, Aska ranks fifth nationally in rushing, averaging 163 yards a game. He ranks 12th in scoring and is 10th in all-purpose yards in the nation.

Aska leads the LSC in all three of the above categories.

This season, Aska has rushed for 1,304 yards and 14 touchdowns on 209 carries against defenses keying on him almost every play.

Against ranked opponents this year Aska averages 205 yards a game, rolling up 820 yards on 114 carries including a 120 yard game against the LSC top-ranked defense of Texas A&M-Kingsville.

"We aimed our efforts at stopping him, but he still got 120 yards," said Ron Harms, TAMUK head coach.

Last season Aska showed flashes of brilliance as a back-up behind All-LSC tailbacks Glenn Starks and Tyrone Jones, rushing for 320 yards on 41 carries averaging 7.8 yards per carry.

"Tyrone was a good inside runner and could run over you and Glenn was the guy who could get outside and score," said George Hauser, UCO offensive backs coach. "Joe obviously can do both those things. He is the best of those two guys into one body."

collegiate level.

Aska shattered Raymond Hayes' 1960 single game rushing record, rushing for 312 yards against Langston. He needs 104 yards to break Hayes' 1,431 season rushing record. Aska also claimed the record of most carries in a single game against East Texas State this year.

Aska is also closing in on two other school records. He needs just 183 all-purpose yards to surpass the previous record of 1,630, set by Daric Zeno in 1982. Aska is also gunning for James Hooks' 1971 season scoring record of 132 points, needing 47 points to break the record.

achievements, he is still a team player," said Hauser.

In addition to breaking two school records this year Aska was also Sports Ilustrated's Small College Player of the Week and LSC Player of the week an unprecedented two weeks in a row.

Because of Aska's accomplishments, there has been a media spotlight cast on UCO not seen around Wantland Stadium since the ESPN trucks rolled up for the NAIA Championship game against Mesa State in 1982.

Aska has appeared on CNN and has been covered by the local media more than any Broncho player in recent times.

dash before NFL scouts, Aska was dubbed the fastest man in college football at any level. He is also a national champion sprinter for UCO. "I would be real suprised if he didn't get drafted," said Hauser.

"I don't know how many of those guys that run track make a million dollars," said Houser.

"There is that chance that if you go to the NFL you can make a million dollars."

Aska is still the same modest athlete, a track star masquerading as a gridiron hero with great potential to play on Sunday afternoons.

"I am just thinking about the last two games," said Aska. "I'm just looking for two victories and to make the playoffs."

UCO library buys 2 new computers for next semester

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer UCO will take the next step in educational multimedia when two new 486 DX 66 IBM PCs are installed in the Max Chambers Library next semester.

The computers are part of the UCO computer center's effort to give students access to state-of-theart educational multimedia technology, said Maithreyi Manoharan, UCO computer center director.

The computers will connect students to the World Wide Web, a network of multimedia hosts and servers capable of sending audio and video data as well as text across high-speed data communications lines, she said.

"Unlike a dumb terminal, the PCs allow a user to point and click on Windows-like icons to see pictures, text, audio and video information," said Manoharan.

The computers will use Mosaic, a Windows-based multimedia software, for communicating with the World Wide Web. "They are for the students to use as a resource like the books in the library," said Manoharan.

She explained that it will take time for the university to purchase more computers for accessing the web because of departmental budget constraints. The two computers and the necessary software will cost around $6,000.

"We recently upgraded our Internet connection line but increasing demand for the service makes this of little consequence," said Manoharan.

Manoharan attended the Institute for Academic Technology

(IAT) live tele-conference held in the Communications Building last week. While at the tele-conference, UCO faculty and staff saw demonstrations and listened to educators and computer industry analysts discuss the features, costs and drawbacks of the newest available multimedia hardware and software.

Participants in the tele-conference had the opportunity during breaks in the presentation to phone in their questions for the experts.

Following the presentation a more comprehensive question and answer period was provided.

Steven Dichinger of IBM and IAT panel member, said the cornputer industry is full of products to fit a wide range of needs for multimedia in education.

"When selecting the equipment for an application, administrators must understand not only the costs but the needs of the application," said Dichinger.

The tele-conference was a joint venture between IAT, IBM, the University of North Carolina and the participating universities across the country.

Manoharan commented that she was disappointed with the faculty turn out at the conference as compared to previous conferences held on campus.

"This tele-conference was for the faculty and the administrators.

I'm surprised that more faculty members aren't interested in multimedia technology," she said.

She said that more computers will be purchased as the budget allows. They will be used to judge the effectiveness of the technology on the student body.

Amnesty International to set up information booth November 11

By Liz Dorris Student Writer

The creed of Amnesty International (Al), as stated in "Overview for Action," is a worldwide voluntary movement which is independent of any government, political faction, ideology, economic interest, or religious creed that works to prevent discrimination by governments of people's fundamental human rights.

UCO's AI chapter takes an active part in that members write letters. wage campaigns. and write petitions to help in the release of people discriminated

against or imprisoned because of their beliefs, race, sex, or ethnic origin.

Information on Amnesty will be presented at a booth from 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Nov. 11 in the southeast corner of the Liberal Arts building.

AI is a college and nationwide organization that began in 1961. AI has helped resolve 40,000 prisoner cases since.

"Usually, we try to have a booth once or twice a year set up in the Liberal Arts building, and have pamphlets. urgent actions, and a video that the Amnesty office sends with famous rock

singers that support Amnesty, which is appealing to students," said Deepa Maryanan, acting president of Al. AI won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for its dedication to working for human rights.

Currently, Al has over 1.1 million activists in over 150 countries.

Those interested in putting an end to discrimination and defending human rights can participate in a meeting 7:30 p.m.

Nov. 30 in the Liberal Arts Building, Room 120. For more information, call Regina Bowling at 478-0979.

Christmas benefit scheduled for less fortunate Edmond children It is time once again for the UCO President's Club Christmas Party.

The party is from 3 to 5 p.m. Dec. 5 in the University Center Grand Ballroom.

Student organizations volunteer to sponsor less fortunate children from Edmond elementary schools, said Tawni Corwin, president.

She said the organizations buy clothes, a stocking full of candy, and of course, toys.

"Venture is offering a 20 percent discount to students purchasing gifts for the Christmas party," said Corwin.

"We appreciate the community working with UCO to make this philanthropy successful," she said.

Deadline for registration is Nov. 1.

"Last year, nearly 200 children received gifts from UCO students.

We are hoping to help even more children this year," said Corwin.

For more information, contact the Student Activities office at 341-2980, Ext. 2363.

WANNABES Mod Flower Cake

WANNABES

WEEZER

MICHAEL HALL

YELLOW PILLS

ere it is, the best record of the decade, and it is only 1994.

Not since Minneapolis unleashed its sonic fury in the mid '80s via The Replacements, Husker Du and Soul Asylum has such a marriage of raw power and melody been housed on a five inch shiny disc.

Many bands have tried this format since its heyday in the '80s but have fallen short, like say the Goo Goo Dolls. Austin's Wannabes succeed in a major way, utilizing witty lyrics, loud guitars and enough melody to pull in even the most ardent pop fan.

The Wannabes play with a "where is my six-pack" attitude, reminiscent of vintage Soul Asylum or The Replacements. The band picks up where other great Austin guitar bands like Doctors' Mob or The True Believers left off. The band reminds one of a car careening out of control, but seems to pull it together before going off a cliff.

This is rock and roll in its purest form, the way it is meant to be — raw and loud!

Underneath all the "bash and pop," it is obvious these guys can write incredibly well and would probably be right at home on acoustic guitars. After all, it was Paul Westerberg who stated, "If it can't be played on an acoustic guitar, it's not worth crap."

The production, handled by former Reiver John Croslin, bristles with a sharpness that only serves to make the songs stronger.

Remember, you can take the band out of the garage, but not the garage out of the band. The album has a great live, " in your face" feel.

You won't find any gimmicks here, just teen angst through a Marshall stack.

If Mod Flower Cake is any indication, these guys must rule live.

This record is so punchy and upbeat you might need valium after repeated listening.

The Wannabes just might be the perfect band to play Alex Chilton's or Paul Westerberg's wedding.

These Austinites have been around for four years now and if you buy anything this year, buy this so you can impress your friends with how hip you were back in '94.

Dig the new breed, Paul Weller would be proud. (DejaDisc)

WEEZER WEEZER

I

f The Pixies held a beach party and invited over the Ramones and Pavement, you'd have something that resembles the band Weezer.

The thing that makes Weezer great is they don't allow themselves to get weighed down by any alternative rock pretensions. Weezer seems to have such a good time playing these songs the listener can't help but be sucked into it as well.

The bottom line here is fun, as Weezer succeeds in creating the perfect album for your adolescent all night dance-a-thon.

There is a thread of innocence that runs throughout the album evident in lines like: "I've got posters on the wall, my favorite rock group Kiss/I've got Ace Frehley and I've got Peter Criss," from "In the Garage," a song of teen-age rock fantasies.

Obviously this stuff is not intellectually deep, which works to Weezer's advantage because there are too many brooding, angst ridden pop stars these days. Weezer put the fun back in music, showing how far you can go on a few chords, a fuzz box and some quirky lyrics.

Weezer does possess talent and can turn a melody around a Buzzcocks driven guitar riff better than anyone around now, making Weezer's debut a cannon blast of good songs. (DGC)

MICHAEL HALL Adequate Desire ood songwriters are sort of an oddity these days.

Today, style is stressed over substance and a well crafted song is hard to find. With Michael Hall's third release Adequate Desire you need look no further.

Stylistically, the former leader of Austin's legendary Wild Seeds is hard to pin down. One minute he turns in a beautiful pop rock song like "Under the Rainbow With You," then he down shifts into the folk number "My Last Letter Home" before he finally falls into the lap of Tom Verlaine in the Television inspired "I Just Do." Adequate Desire opens with a song written for the newborn child of Kim Longacre (the Reivers), the Neil Young driven rocker "Every Little Thing" and closes with "Hello, Mr. Death," a tune penned after the death of friend and peer Manny Verzosa of The Silos. In the interim, Hall's song deals with everything in between the two extremes of life and death.

On Adequate Desire, Hall shows he is one of the most witty, poetic

G

November 1,1994

and engaging songwriters to ever come out of that musical Mecca— Austin.

Though the album embraces many styles. From rock to country to folk and ballads, Hall seems to be at home in any style. His voice has a hint of Texas twang to it that will pull a myriad of emotions out of the listener.

Though you can play "spot the influences" with Adequate Desire, take it for what it is—well written, honest songs. (DejaDisc)

YELLOW PILLS VOL. 2 More of the Best of American Pop! od bless Jordan Oakes, editor of Yellow Pills magazine, for putting together these compilations together and bless Big Deal Records for putting them out.

This record is a dream for anyone remotely interested in melodic power-pop inspired songs. The 20 artists represented here are the best of the genre.

What makes this compilation special is a lot of these bands are unsigned, the best being the Wondermints, who are reminiscent of an early Electric Light Orchestra or The Raspberries and The Nicoteens (a cross between Big Star and The Kinks).

Up against the newcomers are established bands like Redd Kross, The Posies, Shoes and Material Issue.

Compared to the first Yellow Pills record, this one is a little more varied and melodic, probably due to the influx of new bands since the last compilation, which like the first one contains a couple of recent 20/20 recordings. The "newer" 20/20 actually stands up quite well in the nineties.

It is interesting to listen to how well the more recent bands sound next to their power-pop forefathers 20/20 and the Shoes. Oddly enough, the most impressive track off the record does not come from either of those bands, but from The Sighs whose "Situations," is one of the best pop songs of recent times.

Whether you are already a powerpop enthusiast or just wanting to check out an often overlooked genre, Yellow Pills Vol. 2 will enhance your music collection greatly.

The power-pop revival starts now! (Big Deal) Ao
