General education requirements to be revised By Susan Reger Staff Writer General education requirements are targeted for change for all UCO undergraduate students by fall 1997. The group researching and planning the revision include two elected members of each college, four faculty senate members, two students from the Student Government Association, deans of the four colleges and one member each

from the library and advisement. "The Academic Affairs Council began two years ago and has met on a monthly basis," said Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president of academic affairs. Lynd The goal of the council was to meet the requirements of higher education

in the core curriculum, improve the transfer ability of students with associate degrees and add quality to the overall programs, he said. "Currently, the council is meeting with faculty from all colleges to get feedback on the ongoing proposal," said Lynd. "Changes to the general education curriculum is a sensitive topic because turf becomes an issue." Lynd said that with approximately 390 faculty members at UCO, he knew he would get 390 different

versions—none of them wrong—of ideas for curriculum change. The council has been reviewing the addition of a "Business for Life" class or a similar business class, a globalization class and a health class as part of the core curriculum. These classes would be mandatory for all UCO students beginning as freshmen, said Lynd. Transfer students coming to UCO with associate degrees would not be required to take

core general education requirements, he said. Added to the core requirements will be the addition of a yet to be determined number of non-major hours to be required for all UCO students, including transfers. • "The required courses will be determined by each college or department of each college withadministrative approval," said Lynd. For example, the math department might choose to require an additional three hours of business for its math majors.

Debate over cross eats into taxpayers' pocketbook

he debate over the cross on the Edmond city seal has been ongoing for almost four years now, with neither side of the issue willing to give in. The case has received its ruling in the district court only to have that ruling overturned by an appellate court. Now the case is being presented to the US. Supreme Court, should they decide to hear the suit. The judicial fight began when Rev. Wayne Robinson was told about a Christian cross on the city seal by a member of his Unitarian Church in Edmond. Robinson pleaded to the Edmond City Council to change the seal. When he received no reply, he enlisted the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and sued the city, unsuccessfully. The decision was then overturned by an appellate court in favor of the ACLU. Now Edmond has decided to carry the suit to the Supreme Court in hopes of keeping the seal. Both side's have good points. Rev. Robinson feels the cross on the seal is inappropriate because it only recognizes part of the city's religious views. The City of Edmond says the cross is a symbol of their history and heritage. The change would cost about $15,000, said Edmond Mayor Bud Rudkin. The $15,000 may still have to be spent if the appellate ruling stands. The city has already spent about $75,000 of tax money on legal fees and will now have to spend even more at the Supreme Court. As it stands now, the 30-year-old seal will have to be changed or replaced. It is an effort that would have been a courteous gesture for Edmond to do in light of a multi-cultural society. It seems that a city with such diversity should be willing to accommodate its citizens. All the money that has been spent on legal fees could have been used to build a park, fix roads or help the homeless, instead of fighting over a small symbol. Both sides could have come to a resolution. Lets just say that if Edmond agreed to change the seal on all new city products and phase out all current items that contain the seal, the ACLU could have dropped the suit and thought of a new seal that was acceptable by all. But hey, it's only $100,000 of tax money. A

City council continues fight for Edmond seal By Mike Gustafson Staff Writer

•

The Edmond City Council voted unanimously in a special meeting Nov. 1 to continue the fight over the city seal all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The decision was made after an Oct.17 federal court of appeals' decision in Denver that the City of Edmond seal, which contains a cross, was unconstitutional, said Edmond Mayor Bud Rudkin. "Our community feels very strongly that is part of our history and heritage," said Rudkin, "and we shouldn't have to rewrite history." The debate started in 1992 when it was brought to the notice of Rev. Wayne Robinson of Edmond's Channing Unitarian Universalist Church that the seal contained • a Christian cross.Because Robinson felt this was inappropriate, he contacted the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which, after letters and meetings with the Edmond City Council, filed a lawsuit against the city in January 1993, said Robinson. US. District Judge David L. Russell later ruled the cross was part of Edmond's history and heritage and did not advance nor inhibit religion. "Judge Russell held the cross on the seal depicted Edmond's history," said Rudkin. "We feel that he made the right decision in the case." • Unsatisfied with the district court's ruling, Robinson and the

ACLU decided to appeal the judgment, said Robinson. "The decision was clearly unconstitutional," said Robinson. "Other precedents have been set before in Zion and Rolling Meadows, Illinois, where religious symbols have been removed from city items." On Oct. 17, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the district court's decision, stating that the

If the Supreme Court decides not to hear the case or if they rule in favor of the appellate court, the Edmond seal will have to be changed, but until then the city will leave the seal as it is. "It is our feeling that we have a good chance that the Supreme Court will hear the case, review the case and uphold our position in it," said Rudkin. "Until we are told we must change the seal, it will remain as it is."

Math, science professor joins UCO faculty By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

asually dressed, with long dark hair reaching past his shoulders, he looked more like a student than a professor of mathematics. However, Dr. Charles Cooper, the new kid on the block at UCO's College of Mathematics and Science, is a seasoned professor. Cooper came to UCO after teaching mathematics at the University of Alaska for five years. Cooper was born and raised in Oklahoma City and is married to Margaret Root, a professional photographer. With the exception of one year at the University of Arizona, he got all three of his degrees from the University of Oklahoma.

"I like working with the people here," Cooper said. "They are concerned with what their students learn. I hear nothing but positive comments concerning teaching from this faculty." "This semester, I'm teaching three classes and a math/science seminar. My classes are calculus, math analysis for business majors and matrix algebra. "I'm teaching the seminar with Dr. Cooper Fakhrildeen Albahadily from the chemistry department. We are bringing in speakers from the math/science college. During the last four weeks of the course,

the students will be developing and presenting various projects." Cooper went to Alaska after obtaining his Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma. "Out of the 12 applications I put out, the UAF (University of Alaska Fairbanks) gave me a pretty good offer. You don't very often get a chance to go to such a place as Alaska, so I'm glad I took the offer. "I don't have any hard feeling against Alaska itself, but all our family is here so it's easier to live in Oklahoma. We used to spend $3,000 each Christmas to come home." Cooper said teaching in Alaska is much the same as it is here even though the longest day has 23 hours of daylight and the shortest has 22 hours of darkness. "The shortest day is Dec. 21, but

within about three weeks, changes are at a rate of seven minutes a day, so in a week you have gained about an hour of daylight. By the time February has arrived, the daylight time has changed immensely," Cooper said. Students are not excused from school for either extreme weather or daylightrelated changes. Classes go on regardless of the weather. The only time playground time is not allowed in grade school is when it falls below 25 degrees, he said. In the last year, Cooper has become addicted to surfing the Internet and said he would like to see UCO set up a Home Page for math. "I think it would be a good idea; UAF had a Home Page for its math department and I know for a fact they got a lot of inquiries from people. It's good promotion for a school," Cooper said. Ag

KCSC begins fall membership drive with $80,000 goal By Gayleen Langthorn

Student Writer KCSC, UCO's public radio station, began its fall membership drive Nov. 1 and is scheduled to last until Nov. 10. The station uses air time to solicit contributions and contacts previous members by mail. KCSC has always held two membership drives annually, but because of recent budget cuts, those drives are becoming more important to the future of the radio station. University funding to the station has been consistently reduced. Three years ago, the station received $109,000—this year it was given only $25,000. Of the five public radio stations in Oklahoma, KCSC receives the smallest proportion of budgeted funds from the sponsoring university. The university cuts hurt the station in two ways, explained Brad Ferguson, station manager. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) matches the

university funding, so the station received less money from that source as well. It costs about $350,000 annually to operate the radio station. KCSC is a noncommercial radio station with an educational license. "Because we do not sell commercials, that's one source of revenue that's closed to us," Ferguson said. The CPB is a private, nonprofit organization, but it receives about onefifth of its income from federal grants and congressional appropriations. The goal of this membership drive is to raise $80,000. When the station reaches that goal, the program interruptions will stop. "Since 1992, we've always stopped early," Ferguson said. This is the first time the station has set a doliar amount for a fund drive. Previously, it has concentrated on getting a certain number of members. The chemistry department's faculty and staff has made a pledge to the station and challenges other UCO departments to support the station financially.

"I like KCSC because it's the only station that has a classical format—I always know what I'll get when I turn it on," said Dr. David J. Katz, chemistry professor. KCSC, the only radio station in Oklahoma that plays classical music 24 hours a day, has an audience of approximately 65,000 people. More people tune in to classical music stations like KCSC in Oklahoma City than they do in larger cities like Boston or Philadelphia.. KCSC received the Bill Crawford Memorial 111111= =MI Media in the Arts Award last month. The award is given annually to media outlets that promote a wide variety of arts in the community.

Scratch Mallrats CD off the shopping list recently got my hands on the soundtrack from the movie Mallrats, which was released on MCA Records. I haven't seen the movie yet, but

Rating hopefully it is more consistently enjoyable than the soundtrack. The CD features new songs from Weezer, Wax, Sponge, Silverchair, Belly and Bush— some of which are good and some of which aren't. There are also some previously released gems from groups such as Archers of Loaf, All, Elastica and The Goops. Some of these tracks are very enjoyable and would almost make the CD worth buying. Then you see names like Silverchair or Thrush Hermit and they make you want to walk to a different part of the CD store. The most notable track on the CD comes from Weezer. These modern day Beach Boys

released a song entitled Susanne, an upbeat love song that defines and clarifies their unique style. Another great new song is Mallrats by Wax, another fast- paced song that sounds like it would fit perfectly into a movie. The other new releases that don't amount to much are from Bush, Silverchair and Sponge. The bands themselves aren't anything to write home about, let alone publish in a paper, so I'll skip to the previously released works of art. These include the quintessential Archers of Loaf tune Web in Front, Guilty by All and a song from indie-label band Squirtgun, entitledSocial. This CD has a higher dialogue to song ratio than the MASH soundtrack. Of 25 tracks, 11 are dialogue from the movie and 14 are songs from various artists. At first, the dialogue seems a bit superfluous, but after a few times through the CD, the dialogue serves to break up the music a bit as well as provide a little comic relief. Especially a slice from the movie which is called Kryptonite Condoms on

the CD. Kryptonite Condoms, is a hysterical conversation about the difficulties Superman and Lois Lane might encounter as lovers.

New building's architecture resembles columns on cake T

his is a column about some columns. Why? Because I've Column seen some sights in my time, but the n e w Education Building beats them all. I think we can call this architectural Nicki Cormier style eclectic— a little extreme to say the least.

From what I hear, this particular style has a theme, entitled "The Bringing Together of the Ages." Right you are—we won't say anything more about that. Except perhaps to ask, was it the senile and/or the infantile? Why is this building made up of so many different kinds of bricks? I know this university is short of money but this is ridiculous—What are we doing, waiting for bricks to go on sale? There are columns and there are columns—Oh boy, do we have columns! I believe the architect stole his idea from the columns on a wedding cake.

Why else would they be so white or so many? And what about the plate glass running up the center of the building? Is that sharp or what? Surely this is all a dream. I haven't seen the inside yet, but let's hope it has stairs leading up to each floor and that it's furnished with blackboards, desks and chairs. What on earth possessed the powers that be when they chose this particular design? And you know what's so sad about this building? It's standing next to Old North.

UCO campus graced with unique design of new Education Building With features like a long distance interactive video conference classroom with broadcast capabilities, the new Education Building is unique to the UCO campus—and so is its design. "The original design by Larry Keller of HTB, (the architectural firm hired for the project), is the bringing together of ages—Old North and the library," said Farrell Rosson, Physical Plant project coordinator.

looked at from the west, it's intended to be a blending of colors and architectural styles." The building uses several different materials in its exterior —for example, large sandstonetype bricks and more traditional building bricks. The building also has columns incorporated into its design, which will be seen on other campus projects like the University Center renovation, Rosson said.

Tyler Norris, construction superintendent of the project said, "It's more time consuming. More work for me and for them." Norris said he had worked on mixed style buildings before, but "not to this extreme." Norris said the project has been "overall difficult. Nothing is square, it's all angled or round or cut up, a lot of patterns." But he called it an "interesting job."

Miss Black UCO 'disturbed' over Vista editorial

s a black American, I found the editorial in the Oct. 17 issue of The Vista disturbing. I am disturbed because I can not decide whether it was meant as a sarcastic look at the Homecoming Queen selection process or if the editorial reflects the true feelings of its writer. As each year goes on, I become more of a realist when looking at the world. So, lets get real! In the past, to win Homecoming Quenn you had to

effectively get people to vote for youâ&#x20AC;˘. If the Malaysian Student Association was able to get people, regardless of their race, to take the few minutes out of their day to go cast votes in their favorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more power to them. Should they be penalized for out campaigning the other candidates? I don't think so. Unfortunately, I sincerely believe that is what has happened. In my opinion, to be carrying a full course load and have outside employment is in itself a full plate. A person who has enough

interest in UCO to be involved in various campus organizations and attend university functions is qualified to at least be given the chance to campaign and then let the students decide who will be Homecoming Queen and King. Homecoming Queen andd King candidates should be a reflection of the diversity of cultures and ethnic backgrounds represented on this campus, and least the panel should be as diverse as possible.

Finally, let me say that I don't know if it is a yearly commandmant that every year THOU SHALT SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THE MISS BLACK UCO PAGEANT, but I really wish you'd GET OVER IT! Ili!

It refers to neighbors and churches helping those who need it instead of telling them to go to a government bureauacracy to get the money they deserve. Out of nowhere you brought up the notion of anti-education atmosphere without any evidence to support your claim. Is this because both the University of Oklahoma and the university you and I attend employ former democrat politicians as their president? Or have you not "learned" enough to "understand" that if you keep an

"open mind", you might realize the conservatives in charge are merely returning the control of education to local government and the people? The first and last things in your letter talk about voting. Every single person who earned more than $50,000 per year got the same number of votes as a city in the country. I can't help it if people exercise their right to not vote; maybe they couldn't find a liberal vote for that was worth the trip to the ballot box!

Golfers complete fall swing in Lawton By Mike Gustafson

Sports Writer The UCO Golf Team completed the fall season last week with a second place finish at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Tournament in Lawton, Okla.. Broncho stand-out Dax Johnston, junior transfer from Oklahoma University, completed the tournament with a 212 overall score, tying him, with Texas Wesleyan's Rob Lang to bring the match to a playoff. "On the second playoff hole I made a 35-foot birdie putt, but he (Lang) made a 25-foot putt to tie me," said Johnston. "Then he edged me out by one stoke in the fourth playoff hole." Since coming to UCO, Johnston has bettered his stroke average from 75.4 to 72.3. Johnson credits part of this change to UCO golf coach and athletic director, Skip Wagnon. "I'm very happy where I'm at," said Johnston. "Coach Wagnon is great. He is fun to be around and cares a lot about the team." The UCO golf team, ranked

number five in the NCAA Division II standings, finished the five fall season's tournaments, 2nd, 6th, 1st, tied for 3rd and 2nd. "We've had some very good showings this fall," said Wagnon. "We have a strong nucleus with Dax Johnston, Dustin York and Jason Freeman. Those guys are all really good players." Now that the fall season is behind the Bronchos, the team is looking forward to the spring golf season. "We did pretty well in the fall," said Wagnon. "In the upcoming spring season we should be a top contender in every tournament we play in." The players are looking forward to the spring season as well with the addition of another Oklahoma State' University transfer, David Dawley. "We have a guy transferring in from OSU which will be a great addition to the team," said Johnston. "As long as we keep firing on all cylinders there's no reason why we can't go to the national championship."

UCO preps for LSC play By Scott Moore

Sports Writer The 1995 season has been hard on the Lady Broncho volleyball squad, but Friday and Saturday they closed out the regular season by finishing up strong. Friday at Stephenville, Texas the Lady Bronchos swept Tarleton State 15-9, 15-10, 15-12 before outlasting Texas A&MKingsville Saturday 10-15, 15-9, 7-15, 15-8, 15-11 at Kingsville, Texas. The victories improve UCO's record to 16-19 overall and 8-8 in the Lone Star Conference. The Lady Bronchos finish tied for fifth in the conference but will be seeded sixth for the LSC

tournament, which the Lady Bronchos will host Nov. 9-11. The Bronchos will face thirdseeded East Texas State at Noon Friday, Nov. 10 at Hamilton Field House. Thursday at Commerce, Texas, UCO lost to East Texas St. 15-10, 15-5, 10-15, 15-12. "We played hard but lost a close one at East Texas St.," said UCO head coach Mark Herrin. "It's tough to win on the road but we turned it around and won two road games against Texas A&MKingsville and Tarleton State. "Those were big wins for this team. It would have been easy for us to get down on ourselves after we lost (starting senior middle blocker) Natalie Salmans for the season (Due to an ankle

injury). Our kids responded and showed that they can be competitive and win key games." Herrin said he used a lineup change against Kingsville that helped in the Lady Bronchos two victories. Kate O'Neill was moved from the right side to the center, while Arwin Shneider was moved from her back row defensive position to the right side. "I felt that we weren't getting enough production from the middle and I felt like we needed a change," said Herrin. "Also, this might throw a curve at the competition trying to prepare for us in the tournament."

UCO tramples Tarleton St. By Scott Moore Sports Writer On paper, the UCO-Tarleton State contest at Stephenville, Texas was a mismatch. Tarleton St, entered the contest 1-8 overall, losers of their last six, allowing 390.6 yards per contest and 36.7 points per game, and down to their fifth-string quarterback due to injuries. The 6-3 Bronchos entered the game averaging 322 yards per contest and were on a roll, having just beaten West Texas A&M 43-6 at Canyon, Texas where they rolled up 559 yards of total offense including, a 217 yard rushing day by Zack Leonard. Saturday at Stephenville, the Bronchos translated that mismatch on paper into reality, thumping the hapless Texans 470 in a Lone Star Conference clash. UCO improves its' record to 7-3 overall and 3-3 in the LSC while the Texans drop to 1-9 and 0-6. UCO scored all of their points in the first half as quarterback Sean Morgan threw three touchdown passes, two to split end Chris Gillispie of 47 and 22 yards and another to tight end Derek Elmore of 11 yards. Morgan fmished the day with six completions on nine attempts for 133 yards. Offensively, UCO scored on

disadvantaged," Warren also held workshops. When Burns took over the microphone, he expressed a. , desire for the lecture to be an "intimate discussion," encouraging participation from the audience. While Burns began describing his disease and how he overcame his handicap to become an accomplished artist, he started to draw. Burns drew with a pen in his right hand and added watercolors

to his drawings with a brush held in his teeth. He is very enthusiastic about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and speaks very proudly of the work he has done with them. He said he believed everyone has the right to an education and said that without the ADA, many students today would not be able to attain their educational goals in life. Burns said that as human beings, "we are always expanding and contracting," taking in new things all the time. Everyone has a different

approach to doing things, he said. He suggested that people take a look at him and say to themselves, "I could do that." One of the reasons he enjoys drawing and painting is because it is the one thing he is totally in control and in charge of. According to Burns, people are in school to make as many mistakes as possible; to "push the envelope...within reason, of course." While he spoke animatedly to the audience, he effortlessly created a drawing. His

concentration was divided between creating his artwork and focusing on his speech. Burns said that art allows people to release some of their frustrations in life. When Burns attended Bishop McGuinness High School, he won a national award for a penand-ink drawing he had done in an art class. The announcement of his award was made over the public address system, and suddenly he became a "person," not just "the crippled guy." Burns said he is still developing his technique. His

suggestion to everyone was to "pick something in life that you can never know everything about," because everyone needed to be learning constantly. "To not learn is probably to be dead," he said. When asked about his own work, he said at almost every showing he has had, the piece he liked the least almost always sold first. An artist, therefore, is not necessarily the best judge of his own art, said Burns.

Aside from financially assisting Edmond's community service projects, she said "The club gives women in town a place to utilize their talents." She is not as active in the Women's Club as she was when she first organized it. Gragg said she likes to stay involved with 10 to 12 organizations at a time. "Generally when I'm active, I'm really active." Her latest inspiration has come through the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy. "We educate the public on the plight of children and we monitor child abuse," she said of

the group. Somehow, the activist manages to fit a career into all of her civic activities. She currently serves as the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Optometrist's Association. When asked how she balances such a busy schedule, she said, "I work late and I only need about four hours of sleep a day." Gragg wants to inspire people to do something valuable with their lives. "It's invigorating," she said. "When you do this, you get as much as you give." With a hundred projects ahead of her, Gragg said simply, "I never look back, once I've sparked something, I'm onto the next project."
