ear ye, the powers that be, the students have spoken, and we are a voice that is fast surging to a deafening crescendo. The latest administrative bomb that has exploded in our midst is the "20 to make" class limit. Undergraduate classes who have less than 20 will not make it under the new enrollment policy. What exactly are the repercussion of this bureaucratic whim? After the shrapnel has settled in the bloodied dust, here's a list of the calamities: • Students, already disillusioned with the neverending construction, may well take off and leave. Feeling betrayed by an administration who has seemingly forgotten about them and their needs, they may transfer to another university or drop out of school altogether. • Faculty, who has only received one pay raise in four years, will watch in horror as their paychecks shrink further when the classes they teach—and base their livelihood on— are cut. • Students who need specific classes for graduation may not graduate in time if those classes do not make. The administration says there are exceptions for these, but until now we have yet to see concrete steps taken to assauge the rising panic among the students. Let us begin redressing the grievances by levelling the ivory tower of Babel to the ground, one brick at a time. How about this for starters: To put a new ring to an old tune, "No taxation without representation," let us instead chant, "No major policy decision without student representation."

CO students interested in volunteer work may want to consider the National TEENLINE, a crisis intervention hotline for teenagers based in the OU Health. Sciences Center Complex. "Our motto is, 'If you think you've heard it all, you haven't taken a TEENLINE call,"' said Leslie Gilkeson of TEENLINE. The hotline receives calls from within the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. "The top four problems for teens who call in are: interpersonal relationships, inability to communicate with parents, pregnancy and problems with peers," said Gilkeson. By volunteering, one can acquire skills like "(how to) listen, how to deal with people, conflict resolution, problem solving skills, constructive criticism and peer counseling," said UCO freshman and TEENLINE volunteer Valerie Rollins. "It helps you get in touch with yourself. I've learned a lot to help me deal with my own life," said Rollins. The hotline operates seven days a week in three shifts: noon4 p.m., 4-8 p.m. and 8 p.m.midnight. All volunteers get 20 hours of training in a retreat-like atmosphere. The first shift of a new volunteer consists of monitoring other volunteers as they take calls. During the second shift, the new volunteer takes calls while being monitored by other volunteers.
The next training session will be from Nov. 17-19 at the Children's Hospital in Oklahoma City. Anyone interested in volunteering may call 271-TEEN or 522-3834 between noon and midnight. Oa

RALLY continued from front page "A 4000 level course should not be held to the same standards as a 1000 level course," he said. Dr. Clyde Jacob, vicepresident of academic affairs, declared in a recent Vista interview that "UCO could no longer compensate for small classroom sizes that do not pay for themselves." Many students and faculty understood this to mean as long as student tuition exceeded faculty salary and benefits, the class paid for itself. However, Sharon Martin, director of budget, said the break even numbers were not just a matter of comparing faculty salaries and benefits to pure student tuition. "There are other considerations," said Martin. "You can't just run an entire university based on the costs of faculty salaries and benefits. "The overall UCO budget expenditures exceed overall revenues." Martin said she was unable to provide a breakdown figure of overall UCO pure tuition vs. overall UCO faculty salaries and benefits for a given semester. Scott Bauman, an English department graduate student, said he is concerned about the value of his degree. Bauman, a 1995 December graduate, said the value of a degree can go up and down based on the reputation of a school. Concerned about the deletion of specialized classes and programs, Bauman said "the point of an elective class is to
allow students to work towards their specialty." "An English graduate program does not lend itself to huge lecture halls," said Bauman. Bauman said he attended the rally to show student solidarity, to call for an end to class minimums, and to request an audit of UCO. "I am afraid this decision will turn a four-year bachelor degree into a six-year program as students wait for classes to rotate back around before they can take them," said Bauman. "It is the public education facility's responsibility to educate. Otherwise, all you get is a drive-through diploma stand." President Nigh said students

should only be concerned with the facts. "All a dean or chairperson has to do is justify the course," said Nigh. "We haven't changed the procedures or rules, just the minimum number required. "There are smaller classes that need to be reviewed and offered differently," said Nigh. Dr. James Bidlack, UCO's AAUP president, said the AAUP-UCO executive committee strongly objected to administration's arbitrary setting of minimum class sizes without input of faculty and students. Bidlack said the committee had concerns over long-range consequences and academic implications of this move on UCO's programs and services.
Arcadia Paintball Pursuit Game
The committee believed the decision would force elimination of many electives, complicate degree completion and prevent curriculum innovation and development, said Bidlack. John Jarboe, president of UCO's student government association, said the association will meet on Nov. 13 to write and vote on a proposal to administration that will probably ask for a compromise to the minimum number figure. Lynd said spring classes under twenty students will be reviewed on an individual basis Jan. 12 and if the dean and chairperson can show adequate justification such as graduation needs or limitations of equipment, the class will remain as scheduled.

For students who find their courses have been dropped after the Jan. 12 review, Lynd said there will be options. "A student can get a tuition refund or enroll in other courses," said Lynd. "Another option is irregular enrollment which is an independent study with a faculty member." Lynd said students could check with enrollment advisors over the break to check the enrollment status of classes. Another student protest on this issue begins at 9 a.m., Nov. 15 between Evans Hall and the Administration Building. The protest will include a march to President Nigh's office to ask for answers.

`Teachers should be more of a guide than a hindrance'
T
he other day, after failing miserably to understand how to attack a chemistry problem, I had a discussion with the professor. He suggested that I take Chemistry 1 and 2 all over again. I took them 16 years ago and do not feel like investing in those courses again. Over the summer, before I enrolled in this course, I asked the department chairperson which chemistry course I should take since I am a geology major and basically need a review course to pass the curriculum exam. I want to teach earth science and biology in middle school or high school. Unfortunately, he recommended that "Chemical Calculations" would be the best course. I had no idea what this course involved as the course description was very vague and there was no textbook available for a student to figure out the degree of difficulty and whether he wants to make an investment of $200. He was concerned about the fact that school teachers are not required to have more science courses before they are allowed to teach and that education courses were a waste of time except for on-the-job training of student teacheis. I thought to myself, why not have a good
10%
manual for chemistry (better than these lousy textbooks) and skip all the chemistry professors? That sounds like B.S. , M.S. and Piled Higher and Deeper (Ph. D.) The fact that a teacher breezed through a lot of courses and has great content knowledge does not guarantee that he will be a good teacher. If he breezed through a lot of courses, he might have little sympathy, let alone empathy, for a student who is struggling in his course. Oftentimes, other students make better teachers of difficult problems or concepts because they recently struggled with it themselves and have a different way of looking at the problem. I admit that I have had difficulty in some courses in the past. Who knows if I had A.D.D. (attention deficit disorder) 25 years ago when educators did not know much about the often misdiagnosed condition? Teachers would often say to my parents, "John is really smart, but he just doesn't listen!" Time Magazine recently had an article about A.D.D. that reported that Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and President Clinton might have had the condition, and look how they turned out. Einstein and Churchill had a history of not doing well

in school, so they must have had some motivation other than school to do well in life. I did well in courses where I was motivated and knew the "baby steps" to attack the courses without becoming overwhelmed or frustrated. Since I am a visual learner, I- usuallylearned far more from an interesting textbook than I ever did from a boring teacher. Teachers should be more of a guide than a hindrance (one who quells intellectual curiosity by making a student feel ignorant or stupid or who are totally inflexible to different ways of learning). Students can be very motivated to learn on their own when they have the inspiration and not desperation that many teachers instill in their students through the anxiety of continual testing or frustrating work- that they have no idea how to do. Of course, we need evaluation, but it can be one for mastery and competence rather than testing for incompetence. Students are using computers more often to study and take quizzes until they have mastered the subject before they go on to the next level or area. I partially agree with the professor about learning from a manual (or even better, from a computer).
But would that not put the poor professors out of work? Students could save a lot of money by just buying the software or books for a course and test out, thereby bypassing the professor. This would solve the current problem of courses not making it to the curriculum if there isn't a minimum of 20 students in each class. What am I trying to say? Students are very adept at learning on their own and from guidance through difficult areas. Why not have teachers act as coaches to help guide students individually, telling them what they are doing wrong? Professors, especially, often lack teaching skills. They are often in their ivory towers desiring to make courses difficult rather than being there to help students understand. Many professors forget who are paying their salaries and forget that they are there to teach. Academia often has an aversion or disdain for coaches but they need to be more open-minded to the coaching philosophy of working with the talent or lack thereof that he or she has on the team, so that each team member can perform to his or her fullest.

are usually mad about this, especially if they want a pair of $80 basketball shoes. Next, when the family comes home and asks, "What's for dinner?," the '90s woman looks up from her books and says, "It's GYO tonight." At first, the kids think it's some fancy recipe and start to complain. "Is that the stuff you made last week, I hate that stuff." Ms. 1995 just smiles sweetly and answers, "GYO means get your own, kid." In the beginning, the '90s woman feels badly about this socalled family neglect. However, the guilt quickly wears off, especially if she makes an "A" on a test and rewards herself with a new outfit. I used to be fanatical about cleaning the house, but not anymore. Now that I'm a '90s woman, our house has that comfortable lived-in look that you get when you clean it only once a week. And what's more, I don't care. Why? Because I was told by one of my son's classmates that he thinks I write pretty cool for a Mom—and that's what makes it all worthwhile.

MUSIC REVIEWS
Black Grape's CD takes the plunge on `trippy' musical ride Shaun Ryder, the ex-frontman of the British group, Happy Mondays, recently formed a band called Black Grape, whose new album is released by Radioactive Records.
Rating Ryder enlisted the help of Kermit and Jed from Ruthless Rap Assassins and guitarist Wags from Paris Angels along with a few others to fill the band. The end-product is an album called It's Great to be Straight... Yeah, which is full of raporiented, semi-soulful jams. Black Grape admits it ripped off a lot of bands to get its diverse-sounding album, but it seems like it mostly listened to the Soup Dragons. Intentionally or not, It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah, with its loose grooves and raplike style (complete with sound effects) sound an awfully lot like the Soup Dragon's Hotwired
album. The 10-track CD takes the listener on a trippy, almost unbearable and at times, boring musical ride. The problems with the CD are more severe than just being an exact replica of Hotwired. The rhythm section (i.e. drums, bass, percussion) establishes itself at the beginning of the song, which is a good thing, except that for the most part, it never changes. Vocalists Paul "Kermit" Leveridge and Ryder fill the songs
with preachy, public service announcements. Guitarist Paul "Wags" Wagstaff plays most of the songs in a hit-andmiss style. Some solos and riffs groove right along with the music and other parts seem to stick out and not blend as well. It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah is a decent CD, but not good enough to spend hard-earned money on—get the Soup Dragons instead. —Review by John Clanton

Bronchos baffled by LSC play By Scott Moore Sports Writer Pre-season predictions had UCO's 1995 volleyball season extending longer than it did. As the defending. Lone Star Conference champs and coming off a 32-5 season, the Lady Bronchos were picked to win it again. But Friday at Hamilton Field House, the Lady Bronchos were ousted from the Lone Star Conference tournament. WTAMU, seeded second, downed the sixth-seeded Lady Bronchos in three games 15-4, 15-11,15-10. UCO made it to the semis by upsetting third-seeded East Texas State. "Beating East Texas St. was the biggest upset in the history of this tournament," said UCO head coach Mark Herrin. "We spent a lot of our emotions in that match and then came out flat against West Texas. But that's no excuse, you have to come out prepared for every match. V See LSC, Page 9
UCO gallops to 8-3 season By Scott Moore Sports Writer At 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon, one more hurdle stood between Central Oklahoma and their first eight-win season since 1983. At roughly 1:30 p.m. the Bronchos not only had the hurdle to clear but they also had a hole to climb out of if they wanted that eighth win. The "hurdle" was Eastern New Mexico and the "hole" was a 17-0 deficit with 10:51 left in the first half. But UCO responded by scoring 33-straight points to overcome both obstacles and down the Greyhounds 33-23 at Wantland Stadium in the season finale for both teams. "I'm proud of our kids for coming back," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. "They showed a lot of character just like they have all season and I think that was the difference in the game." UCO finishes the season 8-3 overall and 4-3 in the Lone Star Conference. It's UCO's first winning record in the conference since 1988. ENMU finishes 6-4-
1 and 3-3-1. With help from UCO, the Greyhounds scored touchdowns on two of their first three possessions. ENMU turned a UCO turnover at the Broncho 15 into a two-play touchdown drive for their first score and then scored on their next possession on a five-play, 30-yard drive aided by two UCO personal foul penalties. The Greyhounds led 14-0 with 8:19 left in the first quarter. "First of all, we were playing a very good football team," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. "I was disappointed at the mistakes and the mental errors that we made early that put us behind. I told the team before we went out that those things would be the difference. "I knew it would be a challenge because they have a tough defense. " After ENMU added a 33-yard field goal to lead 17-0 with 10:51 left in the half UCO got going on the next possession of the game, traveling 58 yards in eight plays to cut the lead to 177 with 8:14 left in tbhe half.

The score remained 17-7 at the half but a 35-yard interception return by linebacker Terry Bell cut the Greyhound lead to 17-14 with 6:29 left in the third quarter. Split end Tony Bryson returned a punt 62 yards to the
ENMU 13 with 14:35 left in the game. That set up quarterback Sean Morgan's 7-yard touchdown pass to flanker Chris Gillispie with 12:06 remaining that gave UCO the lead for good at 20-17.

Faith, laughter pulls Parent through By Richard Tortorelli
Student Writer UCO track and cross-country coach Paul Parent had quadruple heart bypass surgery this past summer, but one could hardly tell. Doctors performed the surgery Aug. 17 and just eight weeks later, Parent returned to coaching the UCO track team. Parent said the doctors are surprised by his speedy recovery. "I talked to the surgeon who released me and he told me he's going to make me his poster boy because he had never operated on anyone who had recovered as quick as I did," Parent said. Parent said there were three reasons for
his recovery—God, his physical condition, and his attitude. "Being a Christian, I think there's a lot of things He took care of that I didn't have to worry about," said Parent. "I think a lot of it too, is that physically, Paul Parent other than my heart, my body was in such great shape that I recovered quicker than a lot of people would. "Another thing is my attitude towards
wanting to get well. I laugh a lot and I giggle a lot and I cut up a lot. I think people that are happier don't have near as many illnesses as people that go around feeling sorry for themselves." Parent has had to cut back on his workload. When the doctors released him Oct. 17, they told him to work only half a day. Also, Parent has had other faculty teach his health classes, and graduate assistant Brian Calloway coached the cross-country team in his stead this season. Parent has maintained his positive attitude. "I didn't once feel sorry for myself," said Parent. "I'm just happy to be alive and I got a lot to look forward to."
LSC continued frompage 8
"We knew that we would have to play a perfect match to beat West Texas. They are a great team. They beat us, we didn't beat ourselves." The Lady Bronchos finish the season 17-20 overall and finished tied for fifth in the LSC regular season standings with a record of 8-8. "I don't know if we could have beaten West Texas even if we were playing at the top of our game," said Herrin. "They are just a great team. I am proud of the East Texas win because our team had lost to them a week earlier in four games. That's a big turn around. That shows that our team has a lot of character." 4
`Respect' draws UCO into Sooner Nation By Richard Tortorelli
Student Writer
In an effort to promote state college wrestling, the UCO and the University of Oklahoma wrestling teams will compete in a rare November dual match. The UCO wrestlers will challenge the Sooners 7:30 tonight in Norman. The OU wrestling team is ranked 13th in the nation in the preseason NCAA Division I wrestling poll. The Sooners finished the 1994-95 season with a dual record of 8-7-1 and placed 10th in the NCAA Div. I national championships. UCO head coach David James said
James said it is the earliest dual. UCO has had in his 13 years as the Bronchos' head coach. "We usually don't have our first dual until mid-December, but this year's different," said James. " It will be our first November dual that I can remember being a coach (at UCO) and another thing being the competition we're wrestling. With those two factors, it's real different." Spates wanted to schedule this match because he thought UCO, the four-time defending national champions in Division II, would be a good draw to fans. "We wanted to get a great home match, and we can't think of a better team than
that OU wrestling coach Jack Spates suggested the contest last spring. "(Spates) contacted me back in the spring about scheduling and he said, `Hey, let's do something a little bit different, — said James. "'Let's wrestle early and try to get a lot of local and hopefully statewide high schools to come and support it, to kind of open up the college wrestling season. — OU is offering a special promotion to high school and middle school wrestlers and coaches for this match. An entire wrestling team and two coaches can attend tonight's contest for a price of five dollars, said Spates.
UCO," said Spates. "This is a rivalry we've had for in the past, but due to a number of factors we were unable to play it. Once again we were able to renew it and it's a great thing for Oklahoma wrestling." OU won the last meeting 20-19 on Feb. 6,1993 and leads the series 30-8-2. OU is the first of five Division I dual opponents UCO will face this season. "It was a great opportunity to sell our program as well as theirs," said James. "It should be fun and exciting and hopefully competitive, and it will be a deal where we can showcase two good wrestling programs."

How much do you know about student benefits on campus? A seminar covering a variety of topics, from scholarships to free tutoring, will be held 6 p.m. Nov. 15 in the Dogwood Room, adjacent to the Central Cafeteria. The seminar, sponsored by the Black Student Association (BSA), will cover topics that are beneficial to all students on campus, said Sheneka Conley, BSA treasurer. "Each BSA officer has collected a variety of information from sources all over campus which they will present at the seminar," Conley said. There are several scholarships and awards offered through UCO and the Scholarship Office that students are not aware of, Conley said. "We will be discussing the benefits that are offered through the job placement office, talking about the job listings and the discovery program, which is tailored to meet the needs of incoming students who are not sure exactly what they want to
major in," she said Many students do not know there are laboratories here on campus that can be used free of charge, such as the writing and computer labs. "A lot of students don't know that they can get free tutoring through the Learning Resource lab," Conley said. Students may also be surprised at the benefits of joining a student club on campus, Conley said. "Speakers will discuss enrollment, offering suggestions on how to choose classes so that you won't end up with a heavy load near graduation time. Also, we will hand out advice on how to choose professors. A lot of students don't know that they can graduate early by testing out of courses or taking intersession courses," Conley said. "This seminar is for everyone. One problem with activities sponsored by the BSA is every time we do something, a lot of students think it's just for African Americans. This is not so. I would like to see a diverse population come to this seminar because it could be a benefit to everyone. I believe they will really learn a lot," Conley said.
