Students, grab your faculty advisers now!

Summer enrollment and the budget crunch may be the last things on the minds of UCO students, but upper-level and graduate-level students would be well-advised to consult with faculty advisers before enrolling for spring semester to insure getting the courses required for graduation.

A comprehensive Jacob analysis conducted by the budget office has led to a new minimum enrollment requirement of 20 students for bachelor-level classes and 15 students for graduate-level classes.

The changes will begin this spring, said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs.

The previous minimum enrollment figure was 10 students per class.

Jacob said that with few exceptions, UCO could no longer compensate for small classroom sizes that do not pay for themselves.

On the other hand, Dr. James Baker, chairperson of the history and geography department, said the subsequent deletion of some smaller sections would have the potential of creating a whole set of problems for students trying to complete subject requirement for graduation.

"If students are blocked from finishing school this summer, they could lose potential jobs, especially teaching majors," said Baker.

"If a student changes to another university, we may not get them back."

Jacob, however, said there are mechanisms in place for low enrollment sections for students who had to take them to graduate. UCO would go ahead and offer such courses, said Jacob.

These numbers (for minimum enrollment requirement) are just averages, he said.

"Students need not fear that because there are not more than 20 in a class...it will not be offered or graduation will be impeded," said Jacob.

"It simply means that we have to be certain to get those "numbers up to minimum level as much as possible to offset actual costs of courses."

Course expenditures include faculty salary, faculty benefits and some administrative costs.

Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president of academic affairs, said some sections have different situations, Lynd such as laboratory classes where there are not enough microscopes to accommodate 20 students.

"In those cases, we would have to offer those classes," said Lynd.

Lower budgets lead to fewer choices

ords like "budget crunch" are becoming a common part of the academic culture. Students and faculty are finding education to be a difficult endeavor.

Upper-level and graduate students should be aware of changes in the minimum classroom enrollment requirements announced for the 1996 academic year. They should also be aware of what these changes may mean to their ability to graduate in their chosen majors.

Rules that dictate attendance levels only subtract from the variety of courses offered in the respective colleges. Before the change, there need be only 10 students to make a class. But now, the changes require 20 for the class to make the schedule. For upper-division courses that regularly have low attendance rates, this means the axe. For those that regularly have high enrollments, this means duplication of sections in order to retain budgets for the following year. In essence, this means fewer choices and greater pressures for students to face when scheduling their coursework.

"We have no money," is the common statement from chairs , who care to speak at all about the subject. And conflicting reports scatter across the campus giving students only hearsay to consider when planning for enrollment.

A suggestion to the colleges might be to take a student poll.

Maybe if the departments can determine what courses need to be retained and which ones can be sacrificed to prevent forsaking the graduating masses.

Talk to the people in charge. It is your college program at stake and your future.

LETTERS

Harsh words raise student's dander

I

am writing in reference to Cynthia Chung's recent article regarding the Homecoming selection process.

Although I fully agree with the basic contents of her article, I find her tone and choice of words in delivering her message rather tasteless. Her article strikes me as a perfect example of how a comfortably nestled bird in a foreign land can forget its own flock. It is also an example of how in certain cases, it can actually be harmful for an Asian to be too proficient in English. ,‘ Not to_ mention the title, it is clear from the outset that she intended to brutally criticize MSA but apparently she got a little bit too excited and carried away with her prided language that she ended up offending all Malaysians, even those not involved in MSA, like myself.

As a matter of fact, I have

American friends who think that the article serves as a bigoted and derogatory blow delivered by an Asian, who seemingly has rare abilities or talents not so easily acquired by most Asians.

It would have been understandable if she narrowed down her focus to a particular segment of Malaysians and perhaps used a more neutral tone. For example, one of her statements, "Now MSA nominees for the crown can't even make it past the door" is a pure disparaging remark and a great insult to our intelligence as the issue relates to the introduction of the interview process as a fair method in qualifying nominees, but the author's unbelievably ignorant attitude seems to suggest that the MSA nominees severely lack general knowledge and Englishspeaking skills. Let me remind her that not all Malaysians or

Have something to say?

Communications Building, Room 107

Asians are as fortunate as her, as far as English proficiency and general knowledge of the American culture are concerned, but we certaintly could do without her sneering and gloating. Besides, all we want to do is actively participate in campus activities.

Due to the author's status and position, I feel a certain wry amusement at reading her unsolicited opinions with telltale motives about how Asians would or should "read more English books, hang around more often with the Yankees, brush up on general knowledge and find out about what makes this university tick." All I can say with regard to this is that what works well for her may not work as well for other people and vice versa.

President's Partners awards UCO faculty

By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

Six UCO teachers received the new"President's Partners Excellence in Teaching Award," Oct. 31 at a luncheon in honor of the "Salute To Education Week."

Cash awards of $3,000 and trophys were presented at the University Center's Grand Ballroom.

The winners were Karen Barnes, instructor of nursing, Dr. James Bidlack, assistant professor of biology, Dr. Marcia Hakala, chairperson of the foreign languages department, Dr. David Harris, assistant professor of general business, Dr. Robert Terrell, associate professor of accounting and Dr. Scott McLaughlin, professor of curriculum and Instruction.

The award was created to recognize teachers who demonstrate extraordinary and exemplary commitment to teaching.

Although the judging committee comprise faculty and student members, only students could nominate. Nominees had to be UCO faculty members with at least two

years service in the educational field.

To nominate a teacher, students submitted letters stating reasons why their candidate should win.

Criteria for the award include outstanding achievement through subject matter competence, high standards for student performance, concern for students and service to students as a role model and mentor.

Students recognized the mentor qualities of Barnes and Hakala in their letters. They cited Barnes' stand for patient rights and Hakala's willingness to take risks.

Other excerpts from student nomination letters are as follows: On Bidlack—" (He) always finds a way to make everyone understand by his demonstrations or ingenious examples."

On Harris—"Dr. Harris develops a special relationship with each student."

On McLaughlin—"The things he has taught us will benefit us for the rest of our careers and our lives."

On Terrill—"Dr. Terrill's auditing class was a reality trip for the CPA exam." On

Lieutenant governor fields students' questions

By John Clanton

Staff Writer

Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin, who addressed three political science classes at UCO Oct. 27, warmed the students up by joking that the lieutenant governor wakes up in

the morning and gets the paper to see if anything bad has happened to the governor. If nothing has, she goes back to bed.

Fallin, a former UCO student and the first woman to be elected to the position, spoke on her job as Oklahoma's lieutenant

governor and fielded questions from students.

It's important for public officials to come to the public, meet them and let them ask questions, said Fallin.

Fallin fielded questions about casino gaming in Oklahoma, women in office, prison

overcrowding, education and Oklahoma's marketing strategies to attract more tourism to the state.

Fallin also detailed her job and discussed her political history.

Fallin's trip to UCO was arranged by Dr. Chris

Markwood, political science professor.

"I think it's extremely important for students to have contact with public officials," said Markwood.

Guild is currently the president of the Oklahoma State Conference of the AAUP and served as president of UCO's chapter from 1993 to 1995.

While Guild was president, UCO's membership in the AAUP grew by five times and is presently at 150 members.

"UCO is now second in the

state for national members," Guild said. "We have 45 national members, and the University of Oklahoma holds 52 national members, and both OSU and OU have twice the number of faculty that UCO has."

Guild said the AAUP's

national president, James Perley, will speak at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 3 at Applewoods Restaurant in Oklahoma City. For more information about this event or the AAUP, contact Guild at 3412980, Ext. 2821.

Achievement test scores relay social bias not brains

By Craig Keller College Press Service If you ask Van Williams, his college entrance test scores do not reflect his academic talent or potential.

Williams, an AfricanAmerican and a senior at DuSable High School on Chicago's South Side, has a 3.6 grade point average and is a member of the school's academic decathlon team. Yet he scored a 17 on the American College Testing (ACT) and a lackluster 980 on the PSAT (Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test), the sole determining factor for students applying for National Merit Scholarships.

"My score, in essence, doesn't reflect what I am as a student and is nowhere a reflection of what I know," Williams said.

"The math problems may be

It's a measuring stick that everyone uses.

—Lisa Hibbs athletic academic coordinator/ University of North Carolina-Charlotte. universal, but the stories and issues in the reading portion are hard for minorities to relate to."

Williams is one of thousands of students who feel they are being shortchanged by a college admission system that places too much emphasis on standardized test scores—not on the individual accomplishments of the person. Yet many college officials say standardized tests add an element of consistency to an otherwise subjective selection process.

"It's a measuring stick that everyone uses," said Lisa Hibbs, athletic academic coordinator at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.

Although the differences in

Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and ACT exam scores between groups has narrowed somewhat in the last two decades, males have historically scored higher than females, and white students higher than African-Americans.

Mean SAT scores for males in the high school graduation class of 1995 were 429 on the verbal portion of the test, 503 on the math; females scored 426 and 463, comparatively, on the exam's 200- to 800-point scale.

The gap between white and African-American scores is more marked: Whites scored 448 on the verbal and 498 on the math, while blacks averaged scores of 356 and 388, respectively.

On the ACT, 1995 male grads outperformed females by just three-tenths of a point, 21 to 20.7 on the test's 36-point scale. The average composite scores for whites and blacks, however, were 21.5 and 17.1.

"Girls score lower, despite the fact that they get higher grades than boys in both high school and college," said Bob Schaeffer, director of public education for the National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest), a Cambridge, Mass.-based organization that advocates making the tests optional in college admissions.

"Research suggests that fastpaced, multiple choice formats tap into skills and knowledge

that boys have more of."

Minority students that aren't part of "mainstream society" are also at a disadvantage, said Schaeffer, because language differences force them to take more time answering questions.

However, Gretchen Rigol, executive director of admissions and guidance services for the College Board, which administers the SAT through the Educational Testing Service, said FairTest's assertions aren't grounded in reality.

"The myth that's developed about multiple choice formats working against females and minorities is both a sexist and racist assumption," she said.

"Girls don't fall apart under pressure any more than boys— these stereotypes are selffulfilling prophesies. There is no statistical basis to support differences in guessing patterns.

"The big problem is that someone has billed the SAT way out of proportion. It's simply intended to help aid the transition to college, to provide a yardstick for where the student fits in. In any case, test scores are rarely used as the single determining factor in admissions."

To underscore that point, the College Board does not endorse the establishment of cut-off scores by colleges to narrow fields of applicants, and recommends considering scores alongside grades and other aspects of a student's academic record.

In an effort to avoid the slightest hint of cultural, bias on exams, both the College Board and ACT program employ panels of racially and ethnically diverse experts to screen each question, said Kelley Hayden, the ACT's director of corporate communications. Questions are then pretested; if disparities in the response among different groups of test-takers crop up, the question is dropped.

"We've been sensitive to the question of bias for years, whether it's found to exist in overall content or a single phrase," Hayden said. "For

example, test scores do go up with family income, but is that a bias against poor people?" asked Hayden. "Well, no. It means people with greater income have more advantages, including access to better schools. It comes down to a matter of preparation.

Students who've taken the proper amount of core classes— English, math, social science and natural science—will naturally score higher."

Hayden said the ACT's gender gap is closing, in part, because more girls are taking advanced classes in science and math—areas in which males have traditionally posted the highest scores.

Still, there is evidence to suggest that standardized tests can adversely affect the performance and, consequently, collegiate status of women and minorities.

A recent study at the University of California at Berkeley, which bases the first 50 percent of its undergraduate admissions solely on a composite average of SAT scores and high school grade point average, found that the school's admissions formula underpredicted women's subsequent GPAs and reduced the number of females entering

each class by 5 percent, or by about 200 to 300 students.

Meanwhile, Claude Steele, a professor of social psychology at Stanford University, has attracted the attention of media and scholars alike with his theory of "stereotype vulnerability," the expectation that one's membership in a stigmatized group will impede individual performance in testtaking situations.

Following a seven-year research project, Steele concluded that situational factors (asking students to check off their race, on a form, for example, or telling students that a math test may show gender differences) in the test-taking experience can depress the academic performance of women and African-Americans in college environments. His research refutes the arguments that content bias is the culprit for differences in achievement. In addition, Steele's research also casts doubt on theories that racial differences in intelligence test performances are genetically based, as was posited by Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray in their controversial 1994 book "The Bell Curve."

FairTest claims that more than 200 U.S. colleges and

universities have provided high school graduates with an alternative by making SAT and ACT scores optional in admissions evaluations. Such schools range from exclusive, private colleges to larger stategoverned institutions in Oregon and California.

Peter Burns, director of admissions at tiny, progressiveminded Goddard College in Plainfield, Vt., said the school's test-optional policy has not resulted in a less qualified pool of undergraduate applicants.

"Test scores are meaningless in determining how successful a candidate will be," Burns said.

Goddard's policy certainly benefited Gyllian Pressey, a sophomore and classical violinist who recently transferred from a state school in Maine. Although an honors student in high school, Pressey's lackluster SAT scores caused her first-year college to place her on academic probation during her first semester. When she decided to transfer to Goddard, she was relieved she didn't need to submit any standardized test scores.

"I completed my freshman

year with a 3.8 GPA," she said, "but I did terrible on my SAT, so I didn't bother to send it in."

In the future, student achievement may be assessed differently. Nationwide reform movements involving performance-based assessment of elementary and high school students—such as the New Standards Project developed by the National Center on Education and the Economy and the Learning Research and Development Center at the University of Pittsburgh—are researching different ways to measure students' abilities.

Rather than focusing on traditional grades and test scores, instead student portfolios, taskbased projects and essay tests would be considered.

For now, however, high school stu-dents like Van Williams must make the best of the existing system.

"Even colleges that look at other things beside test scores need to take a harder look at the actual person," Williams said.

"Without the right personality and social skills, no student can fit in at school."

By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer Is this the age of anguish and crisis? Find out for yourself by enrolling next semester in Humanities 3053. The class, entitled "The Age Of Revolution, Crisis and Anguish" is being offered Mon., Wed. and Fri. from 10:40-11:30 a.m. and will

be taught by Dr. Siegfried E. Heit, assistant professor of humanities and philosophy.

"What I plan to do in this course is go from the French Revolution 1789 right on up through 1995. For me the 19th century began with the French Revolution—its liberalism, the parliamentarian system and the rights of individualism. Also, the

emergence of a middle class all happened at this time," Heit said.

The course will take a look at nationalism, in a positive and negative sense. It will look at ethnic cleansing in relation to the different wars. The class will discuss the Franco-Prussian War, World War I and World War II and the Holocaust, which was a form of ethnic cleansing, Heit

said.

"We will discuss some of the holocausts that are ongoing and some of the 78 wars that are also going on throughout the world.

All we're thinking about at the moment is Bosnia because our media is happening to focus there.

"The class will take a look back and compare those things

with the same things we deal with today. Things such as Bosnia and the Million Man March are all part of this modern complex age," Heit said.

Topics will also include industrialization and its problems with urbanization and how scientific development can lead to weapons of mass destruction, Heit said.

Wartime alumni reunite during UCO homecoming

By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer The year was 1945 and World War II was coming to an end.

The campus of Central State College was lacking in enrollment of men but the women of Central kept the school alive.

With the 50th anniversary of the class, many of the graduates have come back to visit.

With memories of Royce's cafe, the Interurban train and the construction of the Y Chapel, the women of 1945 returned to a different, more modern Central.

One graduate, who has stayed close to the heart of her alma mater, has witnessed the ever changing faces of Central firsthand.

Dr. Loree (McConnell) Rice, now a professor of English at UCO, was one of the 47 graduates of the spring class of 1945.

Rice reunited with friends

from her class during this year's Homecoming.

Their class was different from others because of WWII. The war affected everything from the school annual to the presence of men on the college campus.

Of the 47 students Central graduated in the spring of 1945, only seven were men. The summer class graduated 39 students with only one man.

Rice said, "Most of us dated very little because there were no men to date."

Consequently, many of the women dated and married men who were cadets housed in Thatcher Hall, said Betty Jean (Dark ) Rose.

Rose met her husband at a weekly dance-mixer in the lobby of Murdaugh Hall.

The women would invite the cadets over to dance to music from the juke box. "That's when he asked me to dance," she said.

"There were not many opportunities socially," said Rose. "We would mostly talk and visit like girls do."

Being on campus daily, Rice recognizes the dramatic difference in eras.

"We didn't have all the off: campus activities that they do now," she said. "When we did go off campus it was usually to see our families."

When the women were far from home and didn't have their families near, they had their friends.

Some of the women at Central formed close friendships that have lasted for half a century.

The best of these friends, Rice remembers, are the ones she made living in a white house on

99 Whataburgers

1

Hurd Street, dubbed "Dickersonville" after the owner, Miss Oma Dickerson.

The house accommodated nine girls for only $5 a month each.

Margaret Loper Lytle reminisces about the house where nine girls shared a small kitchen, and one bathroom.

"As far as I know, there were no major fights," she said of life at "Dickersonville."

Rice attributes their closeness to the small number of students on campus.

"There were some advantages to be gained from the situation we found ourselves in," said Rice of the wartime.

Loper agreed. "The classes were small enough that the faculty could take an individual interest in students."

"My best memory of Central is the closeness between the faculty and students," she said.

UCO Archives documents show that there were only seven administrators and 38 employees in "Resident Instruction" in 1945.

This close-knit characteristic of Central is what Rice sees as the greatest change from her days as a student.

Despite their positive attitudes, the students did suffer from a shortage of materials during the war years.

The school annual, The Bronze Book was not published in 1945 because they were short of paper.

During the construction of the Y Chapel, the students working on the windows and pews were aware that materials were sometimes hard to come by.

"I don't feel I suffered a great deal because of the circumstances," said Rice.

Women from the class of 1945 were invited to ride in the

recent Homecoming Parade in convertible cars from the 1940s.

Among the women who participated were Margaret Loper Lytle, Loree McConnell Rice, Gratia Dome Bowen, Betty Jean Dark Rose and Mary Garwood Cavett.

After the parade, the women were still excited about the cars they rode in and the response they got from the crowd.

The women reminisced about the weekly dances in Murdaugh Hall and taking the Interurban train to see Glenn Miller.

As they glanced around the campus with memories from long ago, they all identified changes.

"There's so many new buildings, said Rose.

"It's very modern."

"To each time its own, said Lytle.

"But it was a very good time for me."

UCO hosts nationwide court discussion

By Gayleen Langthorn Student Writer

Judges, lawyers and citizens across the country discussed strategies for "Improving Court and Community Collaboration" at a 10-hour National Town Hall Meeting Oct. 14. Local participants met on the UCO campus in the Seminole Room.

The local group watched a panel discussion in Norfolk, Va. via satellite transmission and phoned in questions to the panelists during three plenary sessions. Groups met in nine other states across the country, totaling over 1,000 participants.

One caller asked, "If citizens are turning more to the courts, does that mean that the other areas (of government) are not meeting our needs?"

William T. Session, a lawyer from Kansas City, Mo., anwered,

"Courts are expected to resolve social problems that may have been handled by the legislature...

Civil suits often result from the legislature being afraid to make unpopular decisions."

- Session cited asbestos cleanup as an example that could have been handled as a tax-funded measure rather than through numerous law suits.

Another caller asked, "Should the rules of evidence be reevaluated? The public is intimidated by them."

Sheryl F. Snyder, a lawyer from Louisville, Ky., said, "No, we should enhance public understanding."

Local groups identified the most troublesome issues and problems in their areas and then faxed the results to the panel in Norfolk, who then compiled them and presented the most popular answers in following plenary sessions.

The local issues of highest priority were: citizen education, financial resources for education and the system as a whole and public support. National issues varied only slightly, with the mention of the need for interpreters and child care facilities.

The strengths of the court system were also discussed and it was determined locally that its primary asset is volunteerism.

Nearly all successful court programs are run by private agencies. These include Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) and several educational activities of the Oklahoma Bar Association.

The national strengths of the local court systems included: public concern over justice, a common desire for improvement and the dedication of court officials, as well as a willingness to be open to change.

The Honorable Niles Jackson, Oklahoma County district court judge, cited lack of education as a major problem in the court system and said this was a "vital conference to start the education process."

Jackson said, in his court jurors were allowed to take notes and ask questions of the witnesses. Since he began these practices, he said he has had no hung juries.

The Honorable Susie Pritchett, associate district judge at Kingfisher, used mediation as an alternative to long courtroom battles. In cases where the dispute is primarily over an amount (money or time), she sends the parties involved to a mediator before she hears the case.

Lynda Earls, director of Special Projects at the Nigh Institute for State Government, recently became a certified

mediator and spoke of the process, "It's a five- day training sponsored by the state court system. Mediators are strictly volunteer."

The selection of Oklahoma as one of the 10 states involved in the video conference was in response to a proposal submitted by the Oklahoma League of Women Voters.

The League conducted a study on the state court system in 1991, looking at structure, jurisdictions, funding, caseload, selection of the judiciary, monitoring of judicial conduct, judicial training and evaluation, voter education on the courts and judicial elections and gender bias. As a result of the study, the League began sponsoring conferences on state courts, with the goal of educating citizens and providing them with an opportunity to discuss court issues that concerned them. 4

Bronchos aim to shoot down Tarleton Texans

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer After two weeks of less-thanspectacular offensive efforts, the Central Oklahoma Broncho offense needed a shot in the arm.

That shot in the arm was West Texas A&M Saturday at Canyon, Texas.

The 6-3 Bronchos shook off the 200 and 198-yard efforts against Texas A&M-Kingsville and Angelo State the past two Saturday's respectively, and rolled up 559 total yards of offense en route to 43-6 win over the 5-4 Buffaloes. It's the most lopsided win for the Bronchos since a 44-6 victory over Cameron in 1992.

"It was a very big win for our offense," said UCO offensive coordinator Bill Massey. "West Texas had given up a lot of yards in previous games (470.9

yards per game entering the UCO contest) but they concerned us defensively because they have some athletes and they have a lot of team speed.

"I was kind of surprised that our offense did so well. This really helped us a lot because we haven't been playing well offensively the past two weeks."

UCO should get another shot at a big offensive game this Saturday when they travel to Stephenville, Texas to face the 1-8 Tarleton State Texans. TSU is in its' first season as a full NCAA Division II and Lone Star Conference member and is struggling, owning an 0-5 conference mark.

The Texans are allowing 390.6 yards per contest but Massey does not take the TSU defense lightly.

"They tend to blitz a lot," said

Massey. "We're going to have to work on that because we haven't seen that in about three weeks. Our quarterback (Sean Morgan) has to recognize the blitzes and make the necessary adjustments.

"They can stop you, but they have a tendency to give the big play and that's what hurts them.

They just don't have the athletes or the team speed right now to prevent that."

Offensively, the Texans are averaging 270.9 yards per game (81.4 yards rushing, 189.4 passing) and because of injuries, they are down to their fifthstring quarterback in former wide receiver Mark Lister.

Broncho wrestler's look to future each weight.

"This is the starting point for us," said UCO head coach David James. "This gets us out of the practice room and into competitive match-type situations.

"These matches will give the top-two wrestlers at each weight a chance to go head-to-head and will give us a good idea who iss going to represent us at each particular weight."

Graduate assistant Wes White will coach the Bronze team while student assistant coaches Brian Melchiori and Todd Drake will direct the Blue squad.

James will watch the action from the

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer Officially, Central Oklahoma's 199596 wrestling season won't began until Nov. 12 at the Central Missouri Open but realistically, it begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. inside the Hamilton Field House.

It will be tonight that UCO, the fourtime defending NCAA Division II national wrestling champions, will showcase its' 95-96 squad by holding their annual Bronze-Blue intrasquad match. The Bronchos will hold 10-13 matches to determine the top wrestler at

stands.

"We have traditionally done this for years and it gives us a good indication of where we are at this point in time."

The Bronchos return seven starters and five All-Americans off last year's title team, including one national champion (Jerry Best at 142 pounds), three national runners-up (Shawn Bateman at 150, Mark Cunningham at 158 and heavyweight Jeff Pease), and one third place finisher (Keith Kizarr at 118).

"With the people we have returning, I will say they we are awfully confident and very excited about this year's team,"

said James. "We have some definite experience returning at a number of positions.

"We lost some key wrestlers at 126 (Brian Melchiori), 134 (Mike Keim) and at 190 (Chad Humphrey). I don't want to say that those are weak points, but there are some young faces there who are going to have to step it up and contribute."

The Bronchos will also be without returning starter Kyle Vandruff at 177 for at least a month of the regular season because of a knee injury suffered in practice.

Injuries hamper volleyball season

By Scott Moore Sports Writer At the end of this season, Central Oklahoma head volleyball coach Mark Herrin might be asking himself, "what The Lady Bronchos have been plagued by injuries this season, losing starting senior setter Amy Hansen for four matches at the beginning of the season and losing starting junior outside hitter Stacey Schwartz in the middle of the year for a total of nine matches.

Then after the loss. to Northeast Missouri Oct. 28, starting senior middle blocker Natalie Salmans was lost for the season with a broken ankle.

"Injuries have been the story of the year for us," said Herrin.

"We just haven't been able to get in sync this year. Timing and balance is so important in this sport and having your top players go out with injuries at various times of the year disrupts our balance.

"Unfortunately in volleyball your squad isn't very big so it's difficult to have two or three kids on the depth chart at a

position. Basically, It's a situation where you have an older kid playing a position and behind her there is an understudy who hasn't had much playing time and that's usually it. So when one of the starters goes down it hurts us."

The Lady Bronchos entered the year with five players with starting experience from last year's powerhouse team that finished 32-5 and Lone Star Conference champions. They were picked to repeat as LSC champion this year.

Currently, UCO is 14-18 overall and 6-7 in the LSC

"If we could do the whole season over and _start from scratch with everyone healthy then I think we're right in the hunt (for the LSC championship)," said Herrin.

"Our kids are still working hard and are enthused about playing but it's just one of those year's where it's not happening for us and it's nobody's fault," said Herrin.

Former Vista editor recognized for efforts

By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

He learned how to draw from an art correspondence course advertised in a comic book.

Today he's a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist and works full-time for the Tulsa World.

David Simpson, a 1971 graduate of UCO, was recently recognized for his artwork by his alma mater with the "Distinguished Former Student Award."

Simpson was originally nominated for the award in 1980, but was rejected after he sent in his final paperwork.

The bottom of the nomination form had asked for additional information about the nominee.

"I put my shirt size, shoe size and underwear—clean," he said. "I guess they thought I would get up there and foam at the mouth."

Fifteen years later, Simpson was honored for his career, which made its headstart some 38 years ago.

"I started my own newspaper in elementary school," he said.

"It's in my blood."

With the help of other fifthgraders, Simpson produced his own newspaper via the teachers' mimeograph machine.

The publication, which was unofficially distributed at school, is where Simpson began his

calling as a cartoonist.

Beginning early as a reporter and an artist, talent wasn't the only thing that stuck with him.

Some of the lessons he learned as a young newspaperman still hold true today.

"I found that if I wrote something bad about the principal, he would get mad," he said. "But if I drew a cartoon of him, he thought it was cute."

As an adult, Simpson has found that response from politicians to his cartoons does not differ greatly from that of his elementary school principal.

"If you draw them (politicians) as worms or clowns or puppets, they love it."

"Now if you call them a worm, they don't like it so much," he said. "If you're going to pick on somebody, draw it and they think it's cute."

Simpson drew his way through his junior high, high school and college newspapers.

It was in high school that Simpson received his only formal training in drawing.

He saw an advertisement in a comic book for a national art correspondence course. He signed up and the rest, as they say, is history.

Although Simpson has been successful in his field, he had not intended to be a cartoonist in his college days.

Simpson was the editor of The Vista at Central State and a journalism and English major

who had planned on a career in writing.

He financed his college education partly with winnings from weekend poker games, and came to class every Monday morning bearing the stench of a poker game and a three-day beard.

An award Simpson received his senior year changed the course of his career forever.

He was named the "Best Student Cartoonist in the Nation" by the national student journalism fraternity, Pi Delta Epsilon, and soon after, Simpson was snatched up by The Tulsa Tribune.

He continued drawing for the Tribune until 1992 when the newspaper folded and later went to work for the Tulsa World.

After having been in the newspaper business most of his life, Simpson admits that the best part of the job is the hour—"I can play golf during the day."

With a daily deadline at 10 p.m., he spends between two and six hours a day drawing each cartoon.

"The hardest part is coming up with the idea," he said.

Getting most of his ideas from newspapers and television, Simpson said that although he is best known for his more serious works, he prefers to draw humorous cartoons.

"If you can draw the reader into the editorial page with a laugh, it might keep them there

UCO alumnus David Simpson received national recognition for this cartoon, drawn after the 1986 explosion of the Challenger Space Shuttle. The original copy now hangs at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

to read some of the more serious news."

His most famous cartoon is a serious piece he drew after the explosion of the Challenger Space Shuttle in 1986. The original copy of that cartoon is hanging in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Despite the national recognition for his work, Simpson speaks humbly of his

accomplishments and still manages to find humor in almost any situation.

To illustrate this, Simpson joked about his latest recognition—receiving the "Distinguished Former Award," from UCO. "Like old buildings and old whores, you get respect if you last long enough."

CUTS continued from front page

•

Dr. Terry Clark, chairperson of the journalism department, said his concerns were about compromising the variety of summer classes and not meeting the needs of students.

Clark said he was presently visiting every journalism class to let students know of potential changes in the summer schedule, as well as to gain student feedback on the summer courses they want or need to take for graduation.

"We are being proactive, as they say in academia, to help students see further down the road, he said.

"Last year, one of our classes was dropped because it did not meet the enrollment requirement

and money for that class was subtracted from this year's budget."

With stiffer requirements for class sizes this summer, Clark said he was concerned the trend Clark would continue to produce further class and budget reductions through the years, a pattern he said he believed would affect the vitality of the department and curriculum.

Clark said he is also concerned with cuts in teaching

salaries because of decreased teaching loads.

"There seems to be no leeway unless a class is required for graduation," he said.

Lynd said summer sessions were driven by enrollment and each college would be given the same budget it had last summer.

"How the dean disburses the money is up to that dean," he said. "The chairperson can then spend that money however they want."

Lynd said he could not say whether a department budget would shrink over the years if classes were cut from the schedule during a particular summer.

"There is flexibility, even if the budget is not there," he said.

However, Baker said what bothered him is "the history department has been in a budget crunch for summer school offerings for the last 10 years."

"Half my faculty gets Baker to teach half a load and the others will be off," he said.

Another consideration is the effect this would have on graduate seminars, which are seldom designed for more than 10 people, said Baker.

Dr. George Avellano, dean of the graduate college, said many graduate classes are co-listed with undergraduate classes, so there should not be a problem.

Lynd said that in the past, classes may have been offered every semester.

"Students may not have as many options to take a course such as two to three different times of the day," he said.

Lynd advised students "to take their spring schedule and visit their adviser to review spring and summer scheduling."
