he scene: in the chill of the darkening evening, a gaggle of young adults stood to the perimeter of a curious, anxious crowd. The squad cars' hauntingly orangeish-bluish flashes blinked as people murmured and shuffled, craning to get a better look. One young woman in the group wailed in terror: "Oh, no, It WAS her!! Oh, no.Oh, no. Oh, no..I KNEW HER..."

The confused, the serious, the news reporters digging in the gluttonous mire of emotion and rumor— they all wanted two questions answered—what happened here, and why?

The deaths were reported first by the male victim's father Monday, when he discovered the bodies about 6 p.m. (Staff Photo by David McNeese) BELOW Bob Macy and officer Adrian Neal give a statement to reporters on the scene.

The answer to the first part of the "big questions" came early. Young couple, Kari Gean Sloniker, 19, and Michael Shane Mclnturff, 20, were slain in the back bedroom of a small apartment just west of the UCO library, police believe sometime Sunday or early Monday. The second part of the question, however, was not so easy to answer. During the morning hours of Nov. 8, Edmond police arrested Rocky Eugene Dodd, 27, as a suspect in the double homicide of McInturff and Sloniker. Next door neighbor of the deceased, Dodd lives just west of UCO at 319 E. Edwards, apartment 10. He was an employee of Edmond-based Jetta Products, a spa and hot tub manufacturer, said Adrian Neal, officer and publicist for the Edmond Police Department (EPD). "We anticipate filing two counts of Murder-One charges with the district attorney's office," said Neal. While the homicides did not appear to be random acts, it managed to coerce fear from several residents and UCO students of the area. At this time a team of five detectives is still collecting evidence however, according to Neal, the probable cause of death is that the victims' throats

were cut with a sharp instrument. "The medical examiner's office is still conducting its investigation, and we are still looking into several possible motives," said Neal. At an afternoon press conference Tuesday, District Attorney Bob Macy released information that investigators have possibly found the murder weapon, which is said to be a 10-inch hunting knife.

Worries escalate for many hile cases like this are not frequent on or around the UCO campus, the rising crime rate is. This event served as a grizzly reminder that Edmond, cushioned in the warmth and security of a middle-class, educated community, still has a safety problem. While we will never be able to re-invent the days of never locked front doors, and befriending and confiding in neighbors (if these ideals even truly existed), the point is this: take care of yourself, and be aware of what could be. Pakistanian UCO senior, Fawad Khan was surprised by the murder. He lives across the street of the apartment where the murders occurred. VSee BEWARE, Page 6

Learning shows no language barrier

A

ttitude is everything. And to UCO's international students, attitude motivates them to learn one of the most difficult languages in the world (English), study like it's going out of style and frequently ace their classes. While American students complain about professors making freshman humanities classes washout courses, international students tackle the same usually without complaining, still trying to grasp the nuances of the language. UCO's foreign contingency grapples with the problems of language barriers, being away from home and the same curriculum challenging all students. Additionally, international students pay the out-of-state tariff on tuition, several times that of the low in-state tuition paid by Oklahoma students. With the average student age at UCO 28, the evening student 33, most are realizing at a later age the value of a college education. Most have had to put off their college years because of necessity, not because they wanted to. Grades don't come easy for anyone. Hard work, perseverance and the drive to achieve the goals set forth are motivation enough for anyone. But still, international students of any age overcome the monstrous roadblocks thrown in their way. Sometimes, international students are looked down upon because of color, religion, race, intelligence and language. But much can be learned from the international community at UCO. A little patience and understanding can bring students new experiences. Anyone who did not have the pleasure of witnessing international students' joy of expressing their native customs and foods at the recent International Week missed a truly enriching cultural event. We can learn from the simple happiness of the international student rushing to pick up her newspaper, quietly rejoicing daily that she is the first generation of her family that can read English. Perhaps American students can learn many things from our international friends, whether it be the discipline of studying hard or the celebration of life. Attitude is everything. A

Student disputes parking lot view

T

his letter is in response to the letter written by Andrew Gui in the Nov. 3 issue of The Vista. I'm not quite sure what Mr. Gui is complaining about, but if he is having trouble finding a parking spot in the Broncho I lot, then maybe he needs some new glasses. From my lofty view out the third floor windows of East Hall, I can see at least 12 empty spaces, all of which are not more

than 30 feet from his apartment complex. If I were forced to choose between 12 empty spaces when I came in from work at night, I too would be up in arms! Unless I am extremely lucky, I am usually forced to park on the far east side of East Hall. I then must make the trek to my room, walking in the street so I don't get muddy when it rains. Even when I have to park out there, I'm sure that is better than what

the residents of Murdaugh Hall must deal with. Their old parking lot was removed for construction and they have to park on the north side of West Hall, and then cross the street to get to their rooms. From my measly little point of view, Mr. Gui has it pretty lucky. —Michael Brown

hen the term "bookworms" was coined, as the joke goes, people weren't paying 50 bucks for a textbook. Otherwise the term wouldn't refer to the reader. So who would it refer to? Publishers, authors and bookstores all claim they are not the ones reaping rewards from the high prices. Perhaps it's the paper and pulp companies. Although recycling has helped, national figures show that prices have increased over the past years. But so has everything else, inflation accounts for a part of it, said Terence Heagney, vice president of external affairs at Houghton Mifflin Publishing Company. "Considering how much everything else has gone up, textbooks haven't done too bad," he said. In 1969, a brand new Volvo cost about $3,000 and a Harvard education costs about $3,500 per year. Today, a Volvo can cost $25,000 and a Harvard education can cost $30,000 per year. Textbooks have become more competitive as both students and professors demand more, Heagney said.

arrogant disdain for their needs in serving their student population." When used books are plentiful, less new books are bought, which in turn, means less books can be printed, Lichtenberg said. "Anytime we print in small quantities, it increases the cost per book," Heagney said. Some companies deal specifically in used book distribution, allowing bookstores to get larger quantities of used books. "We are very aggressive at getting used books on the shelf for the student," Mengwasser said. Working closely with Thompson's Bookstore, they try to make available enough used books to supply 100 percent of the students enrolled in the class, he said. Authors suffer from the sale of used books also, Heagney said. They don't make royalties on used books, therefore, suffer a similar loss of profit. But authors seem to have found ways to curb used book sales and the student is the one that pays the price. he average book, being sold and resold, has a shelf life of about four years, studies show. Because authors see very little in royalties as used books are made available, they update the book periodically. This forces bookstores and students to buy new books, thus generating additional royalties.

Campaigns have been suggested to lower the prices Lichtenberg said. Publishers like the ideas but show little enthusiasm for their success. "It would be very nice if we could find some kind of mechanism that

Cremer William C. Brown College Publishing would bring these prices back down, but unless laws are passed or something, it's unlikely," Lichtenberg said. One idea suggests profit sharing between publishers and bookstores.

As used books are sold, a percentage would be split between the bookstore and publisher. The result would initiate a higher return on books for a longer period of time for publishers. The chances of such an alliance is slim, however. Profits are slim enough with book dealers as it is now, said Doris Nestander, owneroperator of The Book Rack bookstore. ome authors feel they are missing out on royalties. But the truth is that the money is hardly enough to support a family, she said. If the past has any relation to the present, no matter the textbook or the price, students will probably still complain. As they do, others may complain they don't make enough profit. But a textbook's worth is determined by how it is viewed, wrote Lawrence E. Cremer, president of William C. Brown College Publishing. "Is it a good buy? It's comparable to what a binge of pizza and beer would cost. Don't get me wrong, I love pizza and beer as much as anyone. But the value of a textbook and a quality education lasts a lifetime. One adds bulk, the other adds depth," he said. 4

Doctor ambushed during breakfast VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A doctor who performs abortions was seriously wounded with a highpowered rifle as he sat at his breakfast table Nov. 8, police said. The assailant, armed with an AK-47 assault rifle, fired at least three slugs from a lane behind the doctor's house, said Police Constable Ann Drennan. The person escaped. Drennan would not release the name of the doctor but said he "has been the subject of some picketing" because of his abortion work. "Neighbors indicate that there has been picketing going on at various times. – The victim, wounded in the leg, was able to phone for help but lost a lot of blood before he was taken to Vancouver Hospital, authorities said. Drennan said he was in serious to critical condition.

Gun battle in Algiers kills thirteen ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — In the bloodiest gun battle in the capital since an Islamic insurgency began nearly three years ago, a top army officer and 12 other people were killed in a downtown shootout with Muslim extremists. The Nov. 7 clash ended a 24-hour standoff. Among the dead was army Col. Cherif Djelloul, shot by the gunmen as he tried to negotiate the release of two hostages, security forces said. Djelloul was commander of the Algiers military district. The shooting of Djelloul who was unarmed — touched off the firefight. The hostages and 10 militants also were killed. The government, meanwhile, returned to jail two top Muslim fundamentalist leaders after they urged militants to continue their rebellion, a source said on condition of anonymity. Authorities have re-imprisoned Abassi Madani, president of the Islamic Salvation Front, and his deputy Ali Belhadj, the source said.

Syria, Israel resume Mideast talks JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Syria have agreed to launch negotiations over security arrangements on the disputed Golan Heights, according to a newspaper report. The Haaretz newspaper on Sunday did not say when the talks would begin or where they would be held. Syria broke off negotiations with Israel in February after a Jewish settler killed 29 Muslims at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron on the West Bank. The newspaper said the decision to resume talks followed progress made during President Clinton's Middle East visit in October. Haaretz said Syria, which has demanded that Israeli troops withdraw from the Golan Heights over one year, has agreed to stretch the deadline to 16 months. Israel wants a pull-back staged over four years.

Kim praises policies of late father SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Kim Jong II, North Korea's apparent new leader, issued a statement Nov. 8 praising the policies of his late father and promising that communism will triumph. The signed treatise was his second statement after nearly four months of silence and another sign of more activity recently. North Korea watchers have said that could signal North Korea's gradual move to establish Kim as the official leader following the July 8 death of his father and president, Kim II Sung. "Our party is constantly carrying forward the brilliant tradition of benevolent politics established by the Great Leader comrade Kim II Sung," said the treatise, published Tuesday and carried by the North's official Korea Central News Agency today. "Despite the demise of socialism in other countries, the North Korean version will triumph," Kim said. "Ours is the most advantageous and powerful socialism."

A window screen was torn off, and the perpetrator(s) entered while the sorority held its Monday night meeting. The house was full of members, about dinner time, and about seven purses and bags were taken. Also, several cars were broken into the same night in the sorority parking lot. • November 6: A vehicle was vandalized, the air being let out of all the tires as it sat in a UCO parking lot. • November 5: A vehicle was stolen from a UCO parking lot. • October 25: A GMC truck was stolen from a UCO parking lot. A 1991 Dodge Dynasty was also stolen from a UCO parking lot. • October 20: Bomb threats were made to a dorm on the UCO campus, the scene was combed, but nothing was found. • There have been at least three reported attacks upon men and women within or around UCO's perimeter since August. • People's cars have been broken into, in daylight, and stereos, equipment and books have been stolen. • There has been a recent police report of a student being detained for carrying a concealed weapon. ••• And these are just a few of only the reported events...

noticed the other day that there are a whole string of lights that run through the campus that are out. It's very dark. You know there's a fuse box close, but nobody has fixed it," said one upset UCO student. "The campus seems safe during the day, but at night, you have to take those extra precautions. You just have to." Another UCO student, this time sophomore student Vivek Narayan, had a slightly different opinion: "Well, about the murders, I wasn't really bothered, to be honest. I don't feel threatened, no. I personally feel as though it was something personal—not as a threat to the neighborhood." ost students would like to just go about their business, and true, the UCO area does have one of the lowest crime rates of many college campuses in Oklahoma—so one may not need to go rushing out to by those hard-to-find, tricky landmines to secure the front five feet around the front door of his or her dorm room, or the perimeter of the old folks' beat up Chevy Nova. UCO student Mustata Macoramad, who was acquainted with Mclnturff, worked with him at Dairy Queen before Mclnturff quit several weeks prior to the slayings. He lived across the street from the apartments, and gave Mclnturff rides home from work on multiple occasions. "I've been here almost two years," he said Tuesday, "and I haven't seen this type of thing before. You know, there has been stealing and stuff...But he was a cool guy." It sounds like it could have happened to anybody's neighbor. The vein of insecurity snagged by this event may be a good enough reason to motivate someone to use the campus security measures like SafeWalk, the callboxes, and the UCO Police Department to insure, and, if nothing else, motivate a safer feeling among students using these devices.

Bronchos playing for pride UCO looks to end losing streak against Greyhounds By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

Aska named player of the week UCO senior tailback Joe Aska was named the Lone Star Conference offensive player of the week for the third time this year. Aska gained 186 yards on 32 carries and scored one touchdown in a 22-21 loss to Nebraska-Kearney Saturday at Wantland Stadium. With his performance Saturday, Aska set a new UCO singleseason rushing record with 1,490 yards on the year and a new UCO record for all-purpose yards in a

single-season with 1,631. Aska already has set UCO records for most yards in a game (312) and most carries (45). Aska owns four spots on UCO's all-time singlegame rushing records list. Aska is 1st (312 yards), 4th (241), tied for 16th (199) and 20th (186). Aska leads the LSC in rushing, scoring and all-purpose yards.

The No. 20-ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos will look to snap a three-game losing streak this Saturday as they travel to Portales, N.M. to battle the Greyhounds of Eastern New Mexico in the final game of the 1994 season. The 6-3 (2-2), Bronchos need victory to stay above .500 in Lone Star Conference play. The Greyhounds are 1-3 in the LSC. The Bronchos are coming off a heart-breaking 22-21 defeat to Nebraska-Kearney. UCO had a chance to win the game, but missed a field goal in the final seconds. The loss dashed any hopes the Bronchos had of post-season play this season. "It was a disappointing loss because it was a game we felt we should have won," said Head Coach Gary Howard. "We did a lot of things right, but in the end we didn't make the plays we needed to." Despite the loss, UCO turned in its best offensive performance, gaining 423 total yards since gain-

ing 450 against Langston Sept. 24. Senior tailback Joe Aska rushed for 186 yards on 32 carries against UNK. To keep his Harlon Hill hopes alive, Aska will need a big game at ENMU. Last week ENMU defeated West Texas A&M 48-38, ending a two-game losing streak. The Greyhounds have a 6-4 overall record this season and were ranked in the NCAA Division II top 20 before dropping to Southern Utah in their fourth game of the season. ENMU is led by TB Darell Whitaker, who has rushed for 663 yards on 164 carries this season and FB Steve Williams, who has carried 110 times for 624 yards. Whitaker is second behind

Title run begins with Bronze-Blue scrimmage By Scott Moore

Sports Editor For the Central Oklahoma Wrestling team, the quest for a fourthstraight Division II title will begin with ton ights annual Bronze-Blue Intrasquad scrimmage set to start at 7:30 inside Hamilton Field House.

Spikers prepare for tourney as 2nd seed Rachel Schnitzer

Sports Writer Streaking UCO heads towards the Lone Star Conference Tournament in Portales, N.M. this weekend. With a record of 11-3 in conference play, the Lady Bronchos got rooked out of the top seed of the tournament by some fancy figuring. East Texas State, West Texas A&M and UCO finished the regular season tied for first place, leaving the LSC in a quandary. The Lady Bronchos were figured to be the top seed on the basis of a better conference game record, (38-14) one better than both ETSU and WTAMU. The LSC chose to go with headto-head competition among the

three top teams, giving the number one seed to ETSU and number two to UCO. The Lady Bronchos enter the tournament with the best record in school history and look to enter the national tournament with a good showing. "We've had a great season to this point but we still have a lot we want to accomplish," said Head Coach Mark Herrin. "We would like to win the conference championship and feel we have a great chance to get into the national tournament if we continue to play like we have the last few weeks." The Lady Bronchos are led by four players with 200-plus kills this season, including Carrie Hare who has a team-leading 402. "The girls are playing well to-

UCO driver's education students struggle to accomplish what many take for granted By Jason Webb

Staff Writer The roar of the engine, the smell of leather seats in the hot sun, the texture of the steering wheel, with or without a cover, the touchiness of the brakes and the feeling of the gas pedal as it is being gently pressed towards the floor board. These are all things we associate with our first car. For most people, these memories were created in their midteens, but for some. they came many years later. The UCO South Central Safety Education Institute Handicapped Driver's Training class is currently underway, playing host to 11 people who are disabled to some extent. The class, offered every fall, spring and summer at the Safety Education Building, trains people to drive according to their individual disabilities. Charles "Tad" Hanza has a learning disability. He, along with other students, said driving is harder than he originally

counted on. The hard part is trying to make them turns. You've got this feelin' in your system that you're gonna wreck. you got the drivin' instructor tellin' you what to do and you're tryin' to keep the car straight." said Hanza. Some are trained in cars, and others. such as Brenda Atkins and Raymond Hixon are trained in the van. Atkins explained the van she is learning to drive in and the van she had her wreck in, causing her disability, are the same model. The only difference is the one she is training in has an extended wheel base. Other problems the class seemed to be experiencing are ordinary driving problems, such as parallel parking. Carrie McGuire said parallel parking gave her problems: "But I can do it now." Judy Cameron said, "It's been scary. It's scary if you've never been on the road or you've never been behind the wheel. Ryotaro has made it where I'm not so scared."

Roselyn "Rosie" Story said she has a son that is 15 and just beginning to drive also. "What if I failed? Oooh-wee, I'd never live it down!"

Austin's Wannabes wise to be a 'pop band'? By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer C think almost in a weird way it has been helping us, the fact that we don't sound like Sonic Youth," said Hunter Darby, bassistvocalist for Austin's Wannabes. The Wannabes take a page out of the Austin guitar rock book carrying on the tradition of searing guitar based bands the city has produced over the last decade. The difference between the Wannabes and their forefathers like Doctors' Mob is they throw a little more pop in their sound. The band is most often compared to The Replacements or early Soul Asylum meets The Who or The Jam. "I have no aversion to the word pop, I consider myself in a pop band," said Darby. "My brother, who is a physical therapist, doesn't really listen to much music, just thinks we sound like The Kinks real fast," said Darby. The story of the Wannabes begins in Ft. Worth when high school friends, Darby and guitarist-vocalist Wannabes Jennings Crawford played together in the punk band Humans From Toledo. Crawford went away to the University of Texas and Darby attended Texas Christian University where he formed the Madonna Wannabes.

W

hen Crawford returned to Ft. Worth a year later, the name was shortened, ditching the Madonna part. The two hooked up again and like a lot of musicians in the late '80s, the band made the musical pilgrimage to Austin in 1987. "We were young and we were going to go to Minneapolis," said Darby. "We didn't have enough money to move there so it was easier to move here." At the time, Austin was riding a wave with local bands like the Reivers, Doctors' Mob, Texas Instruments and The True Believers, all making a dent on the national music scene. Like Athens,

drummers and legend has it that guitarist vocalist Kevin Carney and drummer Thad Swiderski joined the band in order to get in free to the Soul Asylum show. "They both played that one show to get in free to see Soul Asylum," said Darby. "So we went ahead and they have not left yet." In their early Wannabes (Photos courtesy of Dejadisc records) days the band quickly earned a Ga., Austin was set to become the reputation as one of the best live next major scene in the country. "It's real incestuous, it is a real bands in Austin. The band often tried to start sick town, everyone has dated fake trends around town, just to see everyone else and everyone has if anyone would follow. The most been in the same band at one popular trend was the mod movetime," said Darby of Austin. "We came down here because ment they tried to start around we liked Glass Eye, Reivers, TI, town.

seen us at South By Southwest, so we got to open up a private party for them," said Darby. "That was pretty nerve-wracking." The joke band has now made good with the release of their debut Mod Flower Cake (Dejadisc). The record is doing well in pockets across the United States like Kansas, Iowa, Portland and Boston. "I'm not really sure what to make of it, why it has done better there than in other places," said Darby. "The distribution is there," said Darby. "It could be worse for how little a label it is." "It was sort of a bitch of a record to make," said Darby. "I am like an acceptance person, rather expectant," said Darby. "Because if you expect something, you are going to drive yourself nuts." The Wannabes are one of the few bands left holding the torch for Austin rock. They weathered the town's neo-hippie phase and are now set to break nationally. The band is currently on tour with fellow Austinites Sincola. "Sincola has the best shot of making it right now, I hope it will be us but I think all it is going to do is help if someone else does," said Darby of Austin's brightest hopes for rock stardom. The Wannabes and Sincola will play this Saturday at Xenophon in Tulsa. For more information call (918) 599-0992.

e leaned forward, his voice rushing like an excited mountain brook. He looked younger than his 33 years. His enthusiastic blue eyes sparkled with youthful idealism. "They're going to send me on a tour and everything," Stewart O'Nan said of Doubleday Books. He leaned back in his chair with a satisfied sigh, then sprang forward again. His unruly blond hair rose in tiny wings above his ears. He had a playful dimple in his chin, and faint lines across his broad expressive forehead. O'Nan, the new artist-in-residence in creative studies at UCO, debuts his first novel, Snow Angels, this month. In the past year he has seen his first and second books published: In the Walled City, a collection of short stories, and On Writers and Writing, a book of John Gardner's papers.

ple, which is where he gets ideas for characters in his stories. "There's great depth to everybody," he said. He has a book in which he keeps track of everyone he has ever met. His characters are based on real people, composites of real people or real people with a little imagination thrown in. "Some of my characters are not very normal people," he said, explaining, sometimes people's sense of what they need becomes warped. "Sometimes a character suddenly gets out there...and you can't write him off. I mean, he's still a character—still worthy of respect—and all the generosity you have as an author. And yet, he's doing strange—and sometimes terrible things." In SnowAngels, one of the characters loses everything—his family, his living, and his faith. Then he begins to kill people. "If you don't view a person like that as a monster, you have to understand why someone would do something like that," O'Nan said. "That's part of what the book's about." He said he based SnowAngels on the philosophical question: How do you kill the person you love most in

continued from previous page es during his undergraduate study. He majored in aerospace engineering at Boston University, receiving his B.S. in 1983. Then, he began studying literature on his own. "I was working in a muffler warehouse when I got out of school, in the middle of that, sort of, Reagan depression and reading a lot," O'Nan said. "I started reading people like Sartre and the existentialists. From there, I went on to the beats and the absurdistsall these different schools of writing that were going on between the 50s and 60s. Then I dropped back into the '20s for the surrealists...then poets of the 1890s. "Then I just started writing in my spare time, figuring I could write stories as well. "It's an exciting career. I got the bug, and once I got the bug, there's just no getting rid of it, I think. "It's fun too...It's the best job in the world." Later, O'Nan attended Cornell University to study writing, graduating with a M.F.A. in fiction in 1992. From 1991-1993, he taught creative writing, writing about film and writing personal essays at Cornell. n 1993, O'Nan won the Pirate's Alley William Faulkner Prize for the novel, and the Drue Heinz Literature Prize. He said he was especially happy about the Drue Heinz prize because he grew up in Pittsburgh, and remembered touring the Heinz plant when he was a child. As a child, he said he had been very proud of the ketchup plant being in his home town. He said when he won the Drue Heinz Prize, they flew him to Pittsburgh, where he attended a luncheon at the Duquesne Club, and met Mrs. Heinz. "She's the heiress to the ketchup fortune," he said.

Professors attend conference By Sonya Bell Student Writer

Several UCO professors attended the Oklahoma Foreign Language Teachers Association (OFLTA) Oct. 20 at the Tulsa Convention Center. The conference was geared at all academic levels with a primary focus on three primary languages: French. Spanish and German. "We will teach French for the kid that will never leave hometown U.S.A.," is a quote from Mary Baker that became a focus point for the OFLTA conference. Dr. Marco Roman, president of the OFLTA and assistant French professor at UCO; Roxanne Roman, French instructor at UCO; Dr. Cathy Stults, assistant French professor and Dr. Marcia A. Hakala, associate Spanish professor participated in one of two annual conferences. At the conclusion of the conference, each language separated into various groups to discuss annual business and upcoming events.

One of the best kept secrets on campus, The NeitP/ains Publishing Group, has recently been accepted into the Rocky Mountain Book Publishers Association (RMBPA). The association is a trade organization established as a professional association to serve the needs of its members that include a number of university presses as well as other presses. said Gwynne Hunter, director and executive editor of New Plains. "We are not just a local college organization. our books are marketed off campus and at most important book stores in this area and out of state," said Hunter. Acceptance into RMBPA will enable NewPlains titles to be included in the RMBPA catalogue. "This means that we will be represented at the National Book Sellers Association's conventions throughout the United States and at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany," said Hunter. The deadline for the next addition for the NewPlains Review has been extended to

November 10, 1994

Dec. 1, because of low funding, specifically the loss of roll-over funds. Hunter said. Areas of submission include: poetry, fiction, drama and art, Hunter said. "Our next trade book project is called Miscellany will be an anthology of poems." Submission guidelines require that poems be original unpublished and not to exceed 36 lines. The deadline for Miscellany is March 1. Any poet can enter. said Hunter. For more information, call NewPlains at 341-2980, Ext. 5628 or Ext. 5629.

annual event will receive the Boyce Cup, named after the chairman of the math and statistics department, Dr. Donald L. Boyce, said Kian-Kok Toh, Math Club member. "We are welcoming everybody to join in the fun," said Toh. Members, faculty and anyone interested are encouraged to bring the family and join in the fun. Pizza and soft drinks will be served following the game. For more information, contact Toh at 348-4125.

By Sonya Bell Student Writer

Dr. James Baker, chairman of the history and geography department at UCO, recently spent a week in Washington D.C. as a part of a curriculum reviewing process called "The

State Content Standard Competition." "One of the most important outcomes of my work in Washington was that I learned there was a great deal of unity of purpose among the participants about what students should know and be able to do when they graduate from high school," Baker said. Baker was one of the many experts serving on the panel designed to provide educators with the means to improve the quality of their present educational system. The United States Department of Education and Baker both agreed that there is room for improvement in American education. The program began with an agreement about what students should learn. One of the goals of the Department of Education is for all students to leave grades four, eight, and 12 having demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter including English, mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, art, history and geography, Baker said. 24)
