The Student Voice Since 1903
UCO nursing students elected to serve ONSA By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer
Three UCO nursing students have recently been elected as officers of the Oklahoma Nursing Students Association (ONSA), a 12-member board. Danielle Deutschendorf was elected as public relations officer, Karen Holland as community projects director and Melissa Halley as legislative director. All three students campaigned from their own booth at the ONSA 1995 Fall Convention, held Oct. 26-28. "This is how we get involved with the Oklahoma Nursing Association on a student level," Deutschendorf said. "Most of the canvassing was done at the convention, although canvassing at other nursing schools was optional. "It was a high-class campaigne. We had printed
material, posters and campaign buttons," she said. As the public relations officer for the ONSA, Deutschendorf is in charge of advertising for Pulse Point, the ONSA newsletter. Deutschendorf supervises exhibitors and advertisers at the ONSA state convention and fall and spring workshops. Karen Holland's job as community projects director is to support and encourage other nursing schools in their community projects. "This year, if the board approves it, there is a couple of community projects I want to do. One of them is to have the local nursing schools raise funds for smoke detectors within their local communities. It's part of the 'Save-A-Life' smoke detector program," Holland said. Melissa Halley's job as legislative director involves working at the State Capitol. Her job is to get student nurses to help the Oklahoma Nurses

Cans Festival helps community feed local needy families By Sheryl Gregory Student Writer UCO's greek clubs and President's Club joined Oklahoma City Food Bank from 8 a.m. to noon Nov. 4 for the 13th annual Harvest Food Drive/Scouting for Food project. As much as five million pounds of food has been provided in the past from the food drive for the needy.
Volunteers, student organizations and sponsors all come together to make this happen. "Usually the Cans Festival is the beginning of the Harvest Food Drive, but this year the food drive is combining with the grand opening of the new J.C. Penney and 11 other shops in Penn Square Mall," said Cara Smith, marketing director at Oklahoma City Food Bank. The Cans Festival is a contest
among 30 groups, including UCO, who work together to build the best can sculpture. The Cans Sculpture contest includes four categories: Critics Choice, People's Choice, Harvest Choice and Best Choice. A Nordic Track machine was donated by Nordic Track, a store soon to be open in the mall, for the winner of the Critics Choice. Among the judges in the contest are radio station KXY's
Dave and Dan, assistant fire chief Jon Hansen and graphic artist Mike Christian. Can sculptures will be on display during the Harvest Food Drive frpm Nov. 4-18. During that time, people will be able to vote on their choice for best sculpture in the People's Choice category. Student organizations and individuals are encouraged to participate in this effort.
The drop-off points for collection-of canned food items at UCO are the Liberal Arts, the Business, the University Center, Old North and Science Buildings. Anyone who would like to participate in the Harvest Drive/Scouting for Food project at UCO can call the Food Bank at 236-8349 or Panhellenic President Danielle Jones at 7528042.

Nigh's $12,000 boost is UCO's budget bane
A
couple of nights ago, I taught my kids a lesson. If we could teach our state regents the same lesson, UCO might not be cutting back on classes and teachers'
salaries. Standing in line at Wal-Mart, educational conditions were ripe. The kids were hungry and I controlled the money. My son was already crying when my daughter asked for mascara. "No," I said, "I'm out of money." But when my seven-year-old boy asked for 50 cents for pretzels, I dug a little deeper and came up with $1.79, enough to hold them off until we got home. "No fair," said my daughter. Then came the lesson in appropriation. Funding, I explained, is a matter of priorities. When the nine-member Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges got together last week, they decided to raise President Nigh's salary to $106,500, retroactive from July. Regent Mike Brown told the Edmond Evening Sun (Nov.3) that the raise was "routine." Nigh told the Sun that he "had no official idea (about the raise) until (board president Joe Paul Hemphill) called." How many of us even heard of "official" thoughts, as compared to the other kind? UCO will pay for Nigh's raise with "existing funds." Nigh says he'll use the money to help pay for housing costs. A check through the Property Archive Report in the Multi List maintained by the OKC Metropolitan Association of Realtors, Inc. reveals that UCO may have to dig even deeper if we are to make a real dent in Nigh's housing costs. According to the list, Nigh and his wife own two houseS—one of which was purchased in December 1990 for $245,000, while the other, which has been on the market since May of the same year, was bought for $349,000. An "extra" $12,000 would not solve all of UCO's financial woes, but if Nigh had declined the increase, it would have done wonders for our morale. Nigh's raise is a slap in the face of students—who may soon be deprived of quality education and vital classes—and faculty, whose paychecks may be sharply reduced because of the 20-1 class rule. Our future as students and the future of our state depend on education. The Board of Regents, a committee established supposedly for the good of higher education, need a lesson in the concept of appropriateness-7with the use of taxpayers' hard-earned money. Au

Classes lost in campus mudslides
T
uition rates go up, campus looks like a mudslide disaster zone and now classes without 20 students will be canceled? We will have (if construction ever ends) a beautiful campus with no students. If funds were spent on classes, on education rather than construction more people might choose UCO as their college. We don't want mud, that's not what we pay for. We want classes in our majors that will train us in
our chosen fields. If we don't get that here, we'll go somewhere else. Why stay with a university that screws its students? UCO used to be one of the most affordable universities in Oklahoma. But with the recent tuition hikes, OU and OSU suddenly look more promising. And let's face it, an OU or an OSU graduate has an edge over a UCO graduate. What kind of politician spends so much money on beautification? Ever hear the old
saying, "It's what's on the inside that counts?" Canceling classes that don't read the enrollment minimum will hurt students, their education and this college. Look around, how many of the classes you currently take would be canceled? Three of my four would be canceled under this blankly blank policy. —Rike Neville

GATT, NAFTA leading to exploit
I
n current mythology, the Cold War was a titanic struggle of good versus evil, of democracy and freedom against godless communism. Reality is quite different. How can the United States support of brutal right-wing dictators like Somoza, the Shah, Mobutu, Marco's, Trujillo, Pinochet, Suharto and others be equated with democracy and freedom? How can the massacre of over one half million members of the Indonesian Communist Party and their families (men, women and children) be called anything but one of the great human rights violations of the twentieth century? The same is true of the slaughters in Guatemala, Angola,
Mozambique and East Timor. I have a different theory. The Cold War was a struggle of the corporations to retain control of the cheap labor and natural resources of the world and to prevent socialism from succeeding anywhere because it is a threat to their tremendous wealth and power. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the passage of NAFTA and GATT, these corporations are more powerful than ever. How were the American people so easily deceived? Simple—the corporations own the media and can promulgate the fairy tales of the ruling elite 24 hours a day, if necessary. The greatest propaganda achievement
of human history was convincing the American people that believers in a utopian ideology like communism were evil devils. What did the Cold War accomplish? It bankrupted the Soviet Union and put this country $4 trillion in debt. The folly occurred while millions of people starved to death, and the environment was polluted and destroyed. An objective observer from another planet would have to conclude that there is no intelligent life on earth. Beam me up, Scotty! —Gary Sudborough

Theatre department presents Marivaux's False Admissions
T
he UCO theatre arts department presented False Admissions Nov. 3-5. The comedy, by French playwright Marivaux, portrayed the life of Dorante (Rob Gallavan) and his love for Araminte (Ana Anderson). Dorante's former servant, Dubois, (Alex Tosspon) devised a plan for the two to meet, fall in love and marry. The plot is
enhanced by numerous misunderstandings, distrust and overall confusion. If at any point the confusion becomes too much to bear, Arlequin (Jonathan Siler) stumbles on stage to provide comic relief. The costume and scene departments deserve as much credit as the actors. With the realistic costumes and the simple yet elaborate stage, one could

Free health screening available to faculty, staff By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer The nursing department faculty will sponsor a free health screening for faculty and staff in Room 124 of the Coyner Health Science Building from 8-11:30
a.m. and 1:30-3:30 p.m. Nov. 910. It will be the only one held for the 1995-96 school year. "In the future, we will only be offering health screening in the fall because our insurance will only pay for the lipid battery test for employees once a year," said Charizetta McMurray, nursing
instructor at UCO. "If employees have had their blood drawn this spring, they will have to pay a fee of $12. All other services will be free. "Due to previous requests, this year the nursing department will also offer its health screening service to UCO
spouses for $20," McMurray said. The screening involves checking blood pressure, cholesterol level (lipid battery test), blood glucose level, height and weight, she said. Participants should fast for 12 hours before the lipid battery
test. Coffee and a breakfast snack will be available afterward for those who have fasted. "We are looking forward to employees participating again. We have had wonderful turnouts and support in the past from the all the faculty and staff on campus," McMurray said.
Students encouraged to make connections By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer UCO public relations students can make career contacts and improve their communication skills by attending the meetings of the International Association of Business Communicators

UCO alumnus shares moon shot experience By Mary Reinauer
Staff Writer In 1966, UCO physics and math student J. Milton Heflin sat for hours on end at the hard wooden desks of Howell Hall. When it came time to put away the slide rule and pencil, he would hop into his car and cruise the Broadway Extension. Almost 30 years later, on Nov. 2, the UCO graduate returned to Howell Hall with all the answers, and he still wanted to cruise. This time, however, Heflin has his sights set on Mars. Heflin is currently deputy manager of the Johnson Space Center projects office. He and Gerry Griffen, former deputy director of the John F. Kennedy Space Center, came to UCO as part of the university's "Salute to Education Week." The question-and-answer
Newly Remodeled
session kicked off an evening that included a documentary and presentation of Apollo 13, The Real stuff Griffen served as flight director in Mission Control during the National Aeronautics Space Program's (NASA) Apollo program. He was technical adviser for the movie, Apollo 13. Heflin served as flight director for 20 space shuttle flights and was the lead flight director for seven of them. Officially, Heflin is responsible for ensuring that all NASA elements supporting development of EVA (extra vehicular actiivity or space walk) resources are focused as a team. Heflin called his new position that of a cheerleader or a caretaker. Heflin. said NASA administrators figured he was having "too much fun" as flight
director, so they gave him an office job. "Today I get to deal with things like budgets," he said. The flight of Apollo 13 was not well covered by the media until the mission was in trouble, Heflin contested, but that lack of coverage did not reflect a lack of interest from the public. Events of that turbulent era "shoved us (the space program) right off the front pages," he said. Heflin said the movie Apollo 13, starring Tom Hanks, has helped re-spark public interest in the space program. Several questions fielded that evening dealt with the real flight and the movie. "Apollo 13 was a real test," said Heflin. "It was by far, at that point, the closest we had ever come to losing somebody in space." The actual Apollo 13 flight
took off on April 11, 1970. "Flight time was 1313 (1:13) in the afternoon. On the 13th of April (was) when we lost the oxygen. We were 200,000 miles from home and headed toward the moon when the oxygen exploded. Oxygen is very important; you use it to breathe, you put it with hydrogen and use it for drinking (H2O). "Luckily, we had the lunar module; it had stored oxygen in it," said Heflin. Both high technology and playground equipment provided realistic special effects in the movie, said Griffen. Zero gravity scenes were made in the cockpit of United States Air Force (USAF) planes, which produce weightless conditions for seconds at a time. At other times, actors sat on teeter-totters to recreate the up and down motion of the astronauts.

The language of the two men was peppered with the vernacular of the space culture they helped create. For them, to "go for the burn" is a maneuver to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. Heflin and Griffen said they are enthusiastic about the space program's future. When a member of the audience asked where the two would go if they could name their next mission, Heflin stopped Griffen before he could reply. He quickly scribbled his answer on a piece of paper and kept it to himself. When Griffen said "Mars," Heflin turned the paper so the audience could read it—"Mars" was what it said.

Penney, was President George Nigh's guest speaker at a luncheon held at the University House 12:30 p.m. Oct. 30, in honor of "Salute to Education Week." Howell spoke to faculty, staff, students and guests following the luncheon about his experiences as CEO and future projections for the department store.

Penney, the company's founder. He said the company still pledges to follow Mr. Penney's principles of honor, confidence, service and cooperation. Howell also advised students to establish their own principles. "It is very important early on for you to get a fix about what you believe in," he said. Howell then spoke specifically, with students.

UCO poised for eight win season By Scott Moore
Sports Writer For the Central Oklahoma Bronchos, the 1995 football season will come to a close Saturday afternoon. Eastern New Mexico visits Wantland Stadium for 1 p.m. Lone Star Conference clash. There is no conference title on the line and neither team is fighting for a playoff spot. However, the game is far from meaningless. The Bronchos are currently 73 overall and 3-3 in the LSC. A win over the Greyhounds (6-3-1, 3-2-1) will give UCO their first eight-win season since an 8-1-1 finish in 1983. The Bronchos are also looking to push their current winning streak to three games. Since losing two-straight games to the league's top-two
teams — a 27-21 loss to Texas A&M-Kingsville Oct. 14 and a 14-7 loss to Angelo St. Oct. 21 — the Bronchos have gone on the road and downed LSC foes West Texas A&M and Tarleton State the past two Saturday's by a combined margin of 90-6. "It surprised me that we were able to score that many points and win by such a large margin," said UCO head Coach Gary Howard. "They've been able to keep their heads up and play the way they are capable of playing and now we are going for eight wins, which is more than we've won here in a long time." Eastern New Mexico is currently fourth in the The Bronchos offensive line clears a path for tailback Jubarko Gaines . The Bronchos will conference while UCO is fifth. host Eastern New Mexico and attempt to reach their first eight-win season since 1983. (Photo V See HOWARD, Page 12 by Daniel Smith)

Bronze team blackens blue By Richard Tortorelli Student Writer
The Bronze team defeated the Blue team 24-20 Thursday night at the annual Bronze-Blue intrasquad wrestling match. UCO wrestling coach David James was pleased with the performance of his wrestler, especially his five returning AllAmericans. All five of his All-Americans, Keith Kizarr, Jerry Best, Shawn Bateman, Mark Cunningham, and Jeff Pease won their matches. Best and Bateman each scored major decisions. "I was pleased with our performance," said James. "As far as individual performances I was pleased with our returning starters, especially our five All-
Americans that wrestled. If you look at all of those matches, they all wrestled extremely well." James said some of his younger wrestlers were nervous, but he is optimistic those wrestlers will improve. "There were two of those matches that involved freshmen or redshirt freshmen and I'm telling you, they were a little nervous," said James. "It was their first time and they had to wrestle those (All-Americans). "One plus for those guys is they're young and they have the opportunity to redshirt and train with these guys," said James. " In the future their times are going to come." The match was competitive. The Bronze held 13-3 and 24-10
advantages, but the Blue squad rallied both times. The Blue took the final two matches as 190-pound Mike Strassle major decisioned Kyle Fry, 11-1 and Pease pinned his opponent. Best and 177-pound Ryan Abretske each scored major decisions for the Bronze team. James said that it is important for his charges to be ready to compete quickly. The wrestling team will compete in the Central Missouri Open Sunday, Nov. 12 in Warrensburg, Mo. Then the Bronchos will travel to Norman, Okla. to face the University of Oklahoma wrestling team in an interstate dual.

"If we beat Eastern New Mexico and go 8-3 I'd say this was a great season," said Howard. "It's already been one heck of '*season for us. I think we've achieved more than I thought we would have when the season started. "This was a very
Lone Star Conference inexperienced team when the season started and so there were some concerns. But this team has a lot of character," said Howard. " I think the bottom line is that this team has had a chance to win every game this year, even against the top competition in our conference and for that , I can't help but be pleased."

Whole-listic Health: Curing migraines proves costly for students
S
ucceeding in college can be difficult under n o r m a l Physical Health circumstances, but recurrent migraines can make it almost impossible. Migraines are believed to be caused by the dilation of blood vessels, which puts pressure on surrounding tissues, said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, R.N., interim director of the Student Health Center. In addition to headache pain, migraine sufferers often have other symptoms, like nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or noise and auras. Visual impairments like blind spots or flashing lights can also occur. Liz Carson, a humanities major at UCO, has suffered from migraines for over 10 years. She described her headaches as
"localized, it's always the same place—right behind my left eye and it goes all the way down my neck and left shoulder." She said her migraines usually last 12-14 hours and in addition to the other symptoms, she has vertigo. Carson said she has missed many classes because of her migraines. "It seriously put my grades in jeopardy," she said. LuAnn Garrison, a junior at UCO, said she'd suffered from migraines for over 30 years. Rather than skip classes, she would attend them, but she wouldn't remember the lecture afterward, she said. Many people have found that certain things trigger their migraines. Some of the more common triggers include bright sunshine, loud or repetitive noises and weather changes. Food triggers include alcohol,
chocolate, caffeine and MSG. There is no cure for migraines, but they are treatable. Students who go to the Student Health Center will be prescribed Midrin, an analgesic. Some physicians treat migraines with narcotics, but "that doesn't stop the source of the pain, it just numbs the person," Wallenmeyer said. Some patients, like Carson, have found relief with antidepressants. "I take them everyday and now, instead of having headaches twice a week, I have them maybe once a month." The newest drugs on the market for migraines are vasoconstrictors. They work by constricting the dilated blood vessels. The most popular of these is Imitrex. "Imitrex is very selective in constricting only the vessels in
the head," Wallenmeyer said. Imitrex was previously available at the Student Health Center, but because of low demand, it no longer carries it. "For 30 years, I had migraines and nothing worked, but now they've got something that does," said Garrison of Imitrex. But she added that it was expensive—$30 a shot or $10 a pill. Wallenmeyer stressed that students who suffered recurrent headaches should consult a physician, "especially (if they do not have) any history of migraines. It's important to rule out anything else. They need to be checked out, especially if the headaches are persistent." Students who would like more information on migraines can call the Student Health Center at 341-2980, Ext. 2317 or the National Headache Foundation
at 1-800-843-2256. Glaxo Wellcome, Inc. offers a free booklet, Chart Your Route to Relief a headache diary to help sufferers work with their physicians to determine if their headaches are migraines. It's available by calling 1-800-377.en 0302. —By Gayleen Langthorn Student Writer

The following is a list of events taking place in the metro area for the weekend of Nov. 10-12.
Becky Sharp CD leaves listeners dull
Concerts/Music:
Perhaps you feel this goes against the idea of forming a band to voice original ideas or opinions, or that this setup makes it impossible for the band to inject emotions into its music, or that the band is merely a puppet for the songwriter. These musical marionettes produce music for people who aren't looking for much originality. As far as creativity goes, Becky Sharp isn't as bad as some bands, but the band members don't offer anything special to set them apart either. The music isn't out of tune or poorly played; it's just downright bland. The strong point of the band is lead singer Gabe Daigle, who knows when and how to manipualte his unpolished, raspy voice. However, when there are two guitarists in a band full of people

ecky Sharp...Please tell me this is not another yodeling, Delores O' Riordan, Cranberry wannabe. Please, not that. Thankfully, it's not, but what it is isn't much better. Becky Sharp is the name of an all-male band that decided to name their group after the woman who writes their songs and co-produced the album.
who have no clue as to how to handle all that sound, the band comes across as heavy and overdone. Almost all the songs on the 10-track CD begin with real potential, but after fewer than 15 seconds, the possibilities for a great song fade into oblivion. The songs repeat a couple of riffs for entirely too long, which makes most songs last for an average of 4 minutes. The members of Becky Sharp do a pretty good job of regurgitating someone else's ideas, but I wonder where they would be without the real Becky Sharp's words. —Review by John Clanton
