Changes made to Christmas break schedule

By Julie Dye Staff Writer

.

ecause of changes in the Christmas break schedule, students will receive their grades earlier and college staff will be able to take a continuous break.

"The university has decided to change when it will be open and when it will be closed during the Christmas break between the fall and spring semesters," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management/registrar.

Instead of closing the college Dec. 22 and 23, staff will report to the campus to process and mail grades and send notifications to suspended students, Legere said.

Students may enroll and drop and add on those days.

"As a result of extending the work week, the university will shut down the entire next week," he said.

Although the spring schedule indicates the college is open, the college will be closed Dec. 26 through Jan. 2, Legere said.

"This has some positive things for students. We will be able to have grades processed and in the mail before Christmas."

Previously, the office wouldn't process grades until after Christmas, which in turn, would not get mailed until the 27th or 28th of December, he said.

"When you consider that exams end on the 15th, and then there's a two week gap between when students can find out what their grades are, we're cutting that period almost in half."

He said a second benefit for students is the timeliness of getting transcripts with current grades on them.

"Again, we will be able to mail out transcript requests before Christmas.

"So, if someone has a job pending or is trying to transfer schools, they should be able to get their business conducted a little more quickly than before."

Graduating students who have requested transcripts will not be affected, he said. Their transcripts will still be mailed with their degrees by Jan. 12.

"If somebody is in a real bind, we will work with them individually, and we'll have the 22nd and 23rd to do that."

$2 per-hour fee increase proposed by State Regents

By Roy Howe Staff Writer

U

niversity administrators submitted UCO's request for a $2 per credit-hour technology fee to be assessed to all students. If approved by the State Regents during the spring, the increase in class costs would face students next fall.

The Student Technology Services fee was recently created and approved by the regents during its May meeting.

The fee is expected to help campuses further their computer uses.

UCO's recent request fell within the State Regents' Nov. 11 deadline for fee increases.

The regents will conduct a public hearing regarding the requested increases the spring before they act on them, said Jeanie Edney, State Regents' director of communications.

A $2 dollar per credit-hour technology fee was proposed by UCO to offset the costs of computer materials, maintenance, operations and repairs to the equipment.

Revenue from the fee increase will also go towards enhancing the technology already in place.

"Without this fee, the university would be unable to make progress towards improving technology for students on campus," states UCO's justification to the State Regents.

Student microcomputer laboratories, the library and those who oversee the computer programs are to receive the majority of the revenue generated.

The university estimates that $472,000 will go towards the upkeep, operation and materials of the computers.

Approximately $200,000 generated from the fee increase is aimed at enhancing the current technology.

inally.

With the elections over and a new governor heading to the state capitol, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief that perhaps Oklahoma can drop the label of being a state mired in corrupt politics.

Oklahoma has become the laughing stock of the country because of the controversy surrounding the governor's mansion. David Walters, David Hall. These names seem synonymous with corruption and wrongdoing.

But with the election of Frank Keating as only the third Republican governor in the history of the state, hopefully the image of Oklahoma will change drastically.

Mary Fallin also became the first woman and first Republican lieutenant governor, and also the first lieutenant from the same party.

Former Tulsa mayor Jim Inhofe's victory over Democrat Dave McCurdy gives the state two Republicans in the Senate for only the second time since statehood.

Five of the six congressional seats were also filled

by Republicans. This undoubtedly sends a message to the Clinton administration that people want a change, and are not content to sit on their hands and wait for it to happen.

Either Democrat or Republican, change has to happen. One party itself cannot implement the necessary policies needed to change the reputation of Oklahoma.

But reputation isn't the only problem with the state.

Public school funding, teacher salaries, and the lack of manufacturing facilities that bypass Oklahoma are the root of the problems. Dishonesty in government is also a concern.

Many large corporations and manufacturers' tend to skirt our state because of the feeling of backwardness and dishonesty associated from within.

Change may not be so difficult. This past election brought out a record number of voters to prove that the change is needed, either Republican, Democrat or Independent.

Let's hope that when the oaths of office are given in January, that the campaign promises given throughout 1994 that elected these chosen few can become reality.

Sean Ashby /The Vista

Student explains letter to the editor

T

his letter is in response to the letter written by Michael Brown in the Nov. 10 issue of The Vista. First of all, I would appreciate if Mr. Brown understood what I was complaining about. I was not fussing about the ample parking lots over there, whether it was near or far from my apartment.

Since fall 1993, the housing has implemented a fixed parking system for the Broncho residents, whereby each resident is designated only one spot to park his/her car, and not anywhere else. Since then, there have been a lot of problems because not everyone follows this ruling and also visitors just park wherever they wish. This causes a domino effect and inconvenience to all

involved. So what I'm saying Mr. Brown is that we just cannot park anywhere we want! We used to park anywhere until the Housing implemented this fixed parking system and had no worries then.

So, I hope Mr. Brown would know the root of the problem first before going on to give his views. I sympathize with him of having to park his car even further away now. I also have to park my car even further away since I have been given a designated spot. So, both of us aren't so lucky after all!

I am upset with the way the Housing has implemented this fixed parking system.

According to them, the majority of the residents here opted for

this fixed parking system. If so, why is it that not all the residents' decal are marked with their apartment number? If housing had written down each and every one, apartment number on their decal, then we can identify where they are supposed to park. As for now, the housing has not written down everyone's number on their decal, only a handfull has got their numbers written on it.

If they decide not to write for all, why implement this fixed parking system? I wish they would return to the 'open parking' system, whereby we could park anywhere as long as we have a resident decal.

Abstinence better than sex, student says am writing in response to the editorial in the Nov. 8 issue discussing AIDS and condoms. You made a point saying people are not bulletproof from AIDS. I am. It is because 1 practice the safest sex of all— none.

I have grown sick and tired of the media, Clinton, and all others who have abdicated passing out condoms in schools.

Because of that, pregnancy and STD's including AIDS has risen.

Granted, I know there is a minute chance of me getting AIDS through a blood transfusion, that is a far less risk than having sex with a condom.

Why? Because latex condoms work only 80 percent of the time. Last time I checked, abstinence worked 100 percent of the time. So why has the media and schools not promoted abstinence? Usually, the common excuse is "Well, they're going to

do it anyway." Not if we educate them that abstinence is an okay practice and not a weird occultic practice. I any a virgin and will be until my wedding night, and I am not ashamed of it. Neither should anyone else.

What I am ashamed of is that we're teaching our kids not to be. You want a cure for AIDS? It's been here all along. Having sex with or without a condom is like playing Russian Roulette.

The difference between the two is how many bullets you're putting in the gun.

UCO censure still in hot debate President Nigh steps in to mediate fight for removal of 'national blemish'

By Roy Howe Staff Writer

A

fter much instigation, university President George Nigh will begin steps to remove a national blemish to the reputation of UCO, according to an administrator at the Faculty Senate's regular meeting Nov. 3.

A censure was imposed against the university in 1969 by the American Association of University Professors' (AAUP) national chapter for allegedly firing a professor in 1966 without due process procedures.

The tenured professor, George A. Benz, was dismissed in 1966 because of low grading procedures, unfair treatment of students and a failure to carry his share of faculty responsibilities, according to the national AAUP.

u

CO's AAUP has urged Nigh to take the steps to have the censure removed for more than a year.

The university's Faculty Senate joined AAUP's cause last week by approving a resolution that requests Nigh to negotiate a solution.

To have the censure removed, the national AAUP has asked, among other things, for a number of scholarships in the name of the professor who was fired during the 60s.

After initial correspondence with the national AAUP last year, Nigh said that he should not be held responsible for something that happened nearly 30 years and three university presidents ago.

Our office is located on the south exterior side of the Communications Building, room 107C.

Law also said that Nigh's view regarding the censure being imposed before he became university president and therefore is not something he should address is a "fallacy of logic."

"Although administrations may come and go, the university remains, and we are all a part of that university," Law said.

"Administrations have a responsibility for the health and well-being of the university body," he said. "And so the persons should deal with the situation."

CO's reputation is also a matter of consideration, Law said.

"It is a point of honor. The academic reputation of the university is on the line."

Law said that Nigh's settlement of the censure would also show good relations between the administration and the faculty.

"A public bond of trust and mutual respect could be had, perhaps with minimal costs to the administration," he said.

"It will show a matter of goodwill on the part of the administration, that it does believe and honor the things that the faculty deem important."

Pugh said Nigh will meet with the executive committee of UCO's AAUP next week to discuss the national AAUP's requests in an attempt to have the censure removed.

`Education Week' celebrated by Chemistry Club

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Along side UCO's "Salute to Education Week," the chemistry department in cooperation with the Chemistry Club held "Chemistry Week," from Nov. 7 to 11.

Events for the week included a learning seminar with booths and information held for the general public on Nov. 5 at Sooner Fashion Mall in Norman, said Mrs. Cindy Coleman, UCO chemistry instructor.

The event was sponsored by the UCO chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACM) in cooperation with the University of Oklahoma, she said.

"During the event, faculty and students showed kids how to make slime and separate the colors out of ink from an ink pen," said Coleman.

Priority enrollment students endure 'too long' lines UCO students hurry up—to wait in lines

By Travis K. Voth Student Writer

Early on a cold, dreary Wednesday morning, dozens of students lined the halls of the Administration Building for the inescapable fall ritual of enrollment. The time for priority enrollment, which began Nov. 2 and will continue through Nov. 28, has returned.

The usual complaints about the line being too long could be heard echoing up and down the halls.

"I thought I was here early. I was here at six in the morning and still twenty-eighth in line," said Dusti Timanus, junior.

Rumors filterered down the line that some students had been in line since 4:30 a.m.

Some students offered possible solutions for speeding up the enrollment process. Senior Melanie Watters suggested that the number of enrollment stations should be expanded to more than the current number of four.

While many students agreed with senior Chua Swee Eng's comment that the long wait was a "waste of time," they also said

that UCO's enrollment process was much better than that of other state colleges.

Peter Merwick, junior, recalled waiting for six hours to enroll at Oral Roberts University.

In addition, as listings of closed classes were passed through the line, most students were relieved that none of their yetto-be-approved classes were closed.

Watters probably best summed up the way most students felt after a long UCO students bide time while waiting for an opportunity to enroll. (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith) morning of waiting in the Administration Building.

"The best thing about Willing this early was finding a good parking place," Watters said.

`Write' from the heart Rwanda rejects offers for tribunal UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The new Rwandan government has .objected to a Security Council decision to set up an international tribunal for genocide in Rwanda because the court won't be able to sentence anyone to death.

The Security Council voted Tuesday to set up the tribunal, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Rwanda's ambassador to the council. Manzi Bakuramutsa. said the lack of a death penalty meant the tribunal "would only appease the conscience of the international community. rather than respond to the expectations of the Rwandan people...

Bakuramutsa said his government would consider cooperating with the tribunal. If it did not. U.N. officials said. it would be nearly impossible to convict those responsible for organizing and carrying out the ethnic and political slaughter that left about 500,000 Rwandans dead last spring. Most of those killed were minority Tutsis, and ethnic Hutus opposed to the former Hutu-dominated government.

Germany outlaws neo-Nazi groups BONN. Germany (AP) — The government outlawed a fourth paramilitary neo-Nazi organization Nov. 11, and police launched widespread raids on members' homes across Germany.

The group, Viking Youth, favors restoration of a Nazi state.

No arrests were immediately reported in the raids, the sharpest blow in months against a fascist organization. Police seized bank accounts. hunting knives and propoganda in Bavaria. according to state Interior Minister Guenther Beckstein.

Raids also took place in Berlin and the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Baden-Wuerttemberg.

Thuringia. Saxony. Hamburg. Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein.

The Viking Youth has been giving paramilitary training to young Germans and teaching them neo-Nazi beliefs, federal Interior Minister Manfred Kanther said today in announcing he was outlawing the organization.

Jordan Parliament approves treaty AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Parliament's upper house ratified Jordan's peace treaty with Israel Nov 11, despite opposition by some legislators normally loyal to the throne.

Thirty-three of 40 members voted in favor of the treaty, which ends more than four decades of hostility between the two neighbors. One member quit the session in protest, and six lawmakers were absent.

King Hussein must now issue a royal decree endorsing the treaty for it to become law. He is expected to do so before Thursday, when he makes his first public visit to Israel.

The treaty was signed by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and his Jordanian counterpart, Abdul-Salam Majali, on Oct. 26. Israel also has signed peace agreements with the Palestine Liberation Organization and Egypt.

Russian visitors to take AIDS test MOSCOW (AP) — Foreigners visiting Russia would be forced to take an AIDS test under a bill approved today by parliament's lower house.

The bill, which also would mandate testing for Russians in many occupations, still requires approval from the upper house and President Boris Yeltsin.

It says foreigners who refuse to he tested or are found to have the AIDS virus would be deported.

Proponents say the measure is needed to stem the spread of AIDS, which had killed 105 people in Russia by the first half of this year. More than 740 Russians had tested positive for the AIDS virus by that time.

The draft law has provoked strong criticism from Russia's medical community and outrage from foreigners, who say it would violate their rights, hurt tourism and be virtually impossible to enforce. Many foreigners are reluctant to use Russia's notoriously unsanitary medical facilities.

Eddy isn't even my name, still acquaintances seem to have slapped it on me as a way of identification. And everyday I meet somebody else who claims that they know me, and since I'm sure that these claims are quite valid it disturbs me that I can't truly return the recognition.

I have to admit that I'm anti-social, and will even go out of my way to avoid people, but I'm not the only one, and the number of people like me seems to be growing.

I know that many times people I know will pass by, and neither of us will stop to say hello.

Due to these trends, I've started to think about how society is falling into decay, and while I am not impressed with society, I must admit that it is needed in order that the majority of people

can maintain their lifestyles.

One of the prevalent examples is car alarms. Who cares about as long as it's not their car? And it wasn't all that long ago that an entire apartment complex witnessed the struggles of a young woman as she was being murdered, no one lifted a hand to help her. So much for a helping hand from your fellow man.

I am in no way qualified to preach something like this, but unfortunately I am in the position to do so, and therefore I preach. I won't personally follow this, but then I like anarchy. The rest of you probably won't, so wake up and join together before you lose touch with your community.

Even today, with efforts underway to increase voter turnout, less than 50 percent of the registered voters turned out, the official estimate being 48.65 percent and Oklahoma County was below the state average, 48.52 percent. This seems to signal that the majority of society is being led around by its nose. And while turnout was greater than expected, one should remember that under 50 percent is still an "F" in most schools.

Society right now is still strong enough to stand up to most deviants, but unless people work together it may not be much longer before people like me can truly pose a threat to the lives you currently enjoy.

Bronchos tie one on with ENMU Eastern New Mexico forces 13-13 tie with late game scoring drive Nebraska-Kearney rallied to win the game on a touchdown with only 1:38 left in the game. This week it much the same as UCO shut down the Greyhounds and built a 13-0 lead by halftime but couldn't sustain it. The Bronchos could not score in the second half and ENMU slowly crawled back into the contest.

It's no exageration to say that the Bronchos dominated ENMU in the first half. UCO allowed the Greyhounds only 55 total yards in the first half (45 rushing and five passing) while UCO rolled up 181 total first half yards (117 rush, 64 pass). The Greyhounds crossed the 50-yard line only once in six first half drives. The Bronchos failed to score after two ENMU turnovers early in the game as UCO started their first two drives deep inside ENMU territory (at the 13 and 19 respectively) but came away empty both times.

The Bronchos couldn't go 19 yards for a score but they did go 70 yards on their third drive of the game.

It was an ugly end to what started out to be a beautiful season. The Central Oklahoma Bronchos finished the 1994 football season by tying up Eastern New Mexico 13-13 at Greyhound Stadium in Blackwater Draw, N.M. The Greyhounds used a last gasp scoring drive to tie the game at 13 with only 42 seconds remaining but the potential gamewinning extra-point was partially blocked by UCO senior linebacker Brian Orr. ENMU started that drive at the UCO 41 after a punt instead of their own 39 when a UCO penalty forced the Bronchos to punt a second time.

The Bronchos finish the season 6-3-1 overall and 2-2-1 in the Lone Star Conference. Eastern New Mexico finishes 6-4-1 and 13-1. It was a disapointing ending to what started out to be a promising season. UCO started out 6-0 on the year and ranked as high as ninth in the Division II top 20, But the Bronchos have gone 0-3-1 since.

For the Bronchos, it was a repeat of last week's 22-21 defeat at the hands of Nebraska-Kearney at Wantland Stadium. In that game, UCO jumped out to what appeared to be a comfortable lead (21-10 at halftime)only to see it slowly disapear when the Broncho offense sputtered in the second half.

Blue tops Bronze, 28-20

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

The three-time defending NCAA Division II national champion Central Oklahoma wrestling squad took its first steps towards a fourth title Thursday night with the Bronze-Gold intrasquad match at Hamilton Field House. The Blue edged the Bronze 28-20.

UCO will be led this season by returning All-Americans Brian Melchiori (126), Mike Keim (134), Jerry Best (142), Mark Cunningham (158) and Chad Humphrey (190), all are ranked in the top two of their respective weights.

The match featured no real surprise, the veterans won their respective matches as Head Coach David James showcased a veteran squad that will need help from some of the younger wrestlers this season.

"It was a typical intrasquad match, I expected the upperclassmen to do well," said James. "It was probably better for the younger wrestlers."

James was particularly impressed with the tenacity of Clay Marrs (150) who defeated senior Richard Holland. Marrs, a freshman from Tulsa Union, scored a takedown at the buzzer to tie the match, sending it into overtime.

Marrs then pinned Holland at 1:36 in the OT period.

Leading the Bronze team were senior Melchiori and junior Best.

After a slow start, Melchiori came on to defeat Alan Karstetter 10-3.

Best won a 21-6 technical fall over Matt Surber. Best rolled getting seven takedowns and two near-falls.

Sophomore Keith Kizarr (118), got off to a quick start pinning

"I was pleased with the way our guys wrestled," said James.

"We're to the point now where we need to get out of the (practice) room. We have been at it for a month and a half."

UCO is picked to win a fourth championship by the NCAA Division II Wrestling Coaches' As-

sociation. The Bronchos got all 10 first-place votes, earning 200 points-19 points ahead of No. 2 ranked North Dakota State.

The Lady Bronchos win, the Lady Bronchos win, the Lady Bronchos have won the Lone Star Conference volleyball championship for the first time in school history.

UCO claimed their first ever conference championship Saturday by sweeping number one seed East Texas State and going 9-1 in games for the tournament.

Fighting back from their only deficit of the match, 2-3, UCO rebounded to take the first game.

The Lady Bronchos allowed ETSU two more points before putting them away, 15-5.

Game two started with UCO taking a 5-0 lead, but the Lady Lions came roaring back to within three at 9-6.

The Lady Bronchos put a stop to that behind three straight Julie Kelley kills, taking game two 15-7.

UCO jumped out to another big lead before ETSU came storming back in game three.

The Lady Bronchos had game, match and championship point at 14-8 when the Lady Lions rolled of three points to bring them into the game, 14-11.

The Lady Bronchos got the side-out and it all came down to a Carrie Hare kill— good.

UCO had won the LSC title in

three straight games.

Kate O'Neill led UCO with 12 kills while Hare had 11 and Amy Hansen had 41 assists.

"This is an awesome feeling and I can't tell you how excited and happy I am for our team," said Head Coach Mark Herrin.

"The girls just refuse to lose."

Hare was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player while Angie Schoofjoined her on the all-tournament-team.

UCO worked it's way to the second round by beating Abilene Christian, Friday in three straight games, 15-6, 15-13, 15-9 claiming UCO's first ever LSC tournament win.

In round two, the Lady Bronchos squared off against the second seeded West Texas A&M Lady Buffs.

WTAMU won game one, handing UCO their only loss of the tournament, 14-16.

The Lady Bronchos fought back to win the next three games, 15-13, 15-5, 15-8 and advance to the finals.

The top four teams from each region will make the NCAA Division II National Tournament and the Lady Bronchos are set to make the cut.

"We feel we're in the national tournament now, so we've still got a lot of work to do," said Herrin.

`South Central' awarded for public service

By Liz Dorris Student Writer

Dr. Lonnie Gilliland, Jr. (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith)

The South Central Safety Education Institute at UCO received a Public Service Award for service of licensing disabled students.

The Mayor's Committee on Disability Concerns recognized the Safety Insitute, Oct. 25 for dedication and service to the disabled public.

UCO is the only collegiate institution in the state that offers this type of program and has done so for about 23 years.

The focus of the program is to provide disabled citizens formal driver's training and the opportunity to acquire a driver's license. The program uses five phases of instruction, and helps

each individual with specific needs throughout training.

Dr. Lonnie Gilliland, Jr., director of the Safety Institute and professor of occupational and technology education, said the staff receives: "around 50 students a calendar year. There are four workshops a year we handle other individuals at other times. " Approximately 85 percent of the severely disabled students taught thus far have received their driver's license. Students who have succeeded in the program have disabilities such as deafness, paraplegia, quadriplegia, arthorgryuposis multiplex congentia, mild mental retardation, traumatic brain injury and persons recovering from strokes.

UCO building gets 'facelift' for Christmas

By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer

When students return from Christmas break they'll find construction on the new Education Building well under way.

The bid for the project from Lambrecht Construction was approved on Nov. 4. at the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges meeting in Weatherford at Southwestern Oklahoma State University.

Lambrecht Construction won the bid with the lowest estimate of $3,399,777. Beginning Dec. 1, the estimated time for completion is scheduled at approximately a year and a half.

Nine alternate projects were also included in the bidding. Six of those were accepted for a total price of $3,831,495.

Originally the third floor was

scheduled to be left unfinished until additional funding became available.

The first alternate project included a third floor build-out for an additional $370,558.

"Basically the only difference in what was originally planned is that there won't be a covered walkway between the buildings (Old North and new building)," said Nick Widener, executive director of special projects.

Another alternate accepted will allow for a "second look" type of ceiling tile. The tiles are a more decorative style than others, said Peter Plank, vice president of Lambrecht Construction. The ceiling tiles were bid at an additional $7,397.

The third alternate accepted was for a ornamental glass canopy at $3,599. The canopy will provide an small area at the exit of the building for

restricting air flow.

"Basically, it will be like a pause before you exit the building. A buffer zone you might call it," Plank said.

For an additional $25,006 the original solid wood doors will be replaced by doors with windows to provide light in the room.

Movable partitions will be included in the project for $12,400. The partitions will be movable sections of a thin wall rather than the more common curtain, Plank said.

Lastly, the theater seating will be completed rather than being left incomplete until additional funding became available.

`Dependent' on financial aid application process?

Check again...

By Travis K. Voth Student Writer

Tax forms, W-2's, financial aid reports, and loan statements. These are not a few of most students' favorite things.

But as the new year approaches, so does the time for applying for financial aid. As you fill out the financial aid forms, you may wonder if you could get more aid if you filed as an independent instead of as a dependent of your parents.

Veterans, wards of the court, orphans, graduate students, married students, students with legal dependents, and students who will be 24-years-old by Dec. 31 can legally file as independents.

If you do not fall into any of these categories, you may still be able to file as an independent by filling out a request for a dependency override, which can be obtained at the financial aid counter. Along with this form you will have to submit documents that show you are living on your own with no help from your parents.

Obtaining a dependency override is a time-consuming process which may take from four to six weeks, said Sheila Fugett, financial aid director at UCO. She suggested that students who want to apply for independent status next year do so as early as the first week of December and at the very least sometime prior to applying for financial aid.

After you have submitted the necessary papers, they will be examined by a financial aid counselor, who will decide whether to grant or deny your request for a dependency override. The counselor's decision is final. "There are no appeals," Fugett said.

Because independent students report only their own financial status instead of both theirs and their parents, they may be eligible for more financial aid, but this is not always the case.

"It's a misconception for students to believe that their aid will automatically go up because they file as independents," Fugett said. She said that an independent student will be judged by different standards than dependent students whose parents often have many expenses and other children.

The 1994-95 Bronze Book staff is including graduating senior pictures for the first time since 1991.

The staff's budget was cut three years ago causing the book to reduce the number of pages from 400 to 208, so the staff decided to exclude student photographs.

"Students began to call letting us know that they were interested in having their pictures taken," Bronze Book editor Sabrina Grizzle said.

Since there was not enough room to incorporate about 16,000 student portraits, the staff narrowed its goals to including graduating seniors.

Bill Broiles, a contracted photographer, will be taking pictures of fall graduates in the Bronze Book office, located on the south exterior side of the Communications Building in Room 107C, at the following times: Nov. 30, 5-8:30 p.m.; Dec. 1, 1:30-4:30 p.m.; Dec. 2, 7-11 a.m.; Dec. 5, 1:30-4:30 p.m.; Dec. 6, 5-8:30 p.m.; and Dec. 9, 7-11 a.m.

Academic scholarships offered from USA Today

By Deanna McMahan Student Writer

Cash prizes of $2,500, a special award luncheon, and a photo in USA Today will be among the awards given to 20 students from across the nation. The academic scholarships are sponsored by USA Today.

Sixty students will be chosen by a panel of educators to head USA Today's 1995 All-USA Academic Team. The top onethird of the students chosen for the team will be awarded cash prizes.

Applications will be judged based on: "The students' ability to describe that outstanding original academic endeavor in his/her own words," said Peter S. Prichard, editor of USA Today.

Other factors in applicant selection involve leadership and creativity.

Alumni Association requesting donations

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

The UCO Alumni Association is trying a new tactic to generate money for the university. They're asking for it.

The problem is, there aren't enough people asking, said Donna Peters, director of the Alumni Association.

Her organization needs volunteers for the Bronze and Blue Annual Fund Campaign's Phonathon, which runs through Dec. 11.

Of the nights we've had the Phonathon, we've only had a full team of callers half the time," said Peters.

The Phonathon has openings for seven callers each night.

Students, faculty and staff are all welcome to participate, said Peters.

For the first time in six years, the Alumni Association is expanding the base of potential donors.

Previously, the group has only called life members of the Alumni Association.

Now, all alumni are being called.

"We realized that there is a large group of alumni that are never even contacted," said Peters.

"I would never write a check to my alma mater if a student didn't call me," she said. "Otherwise, it would never dawn on me."

The Phonathon is alerting UCO alumni to the financial problems of their alma mater, said Peters. "It's saying We need help.'"

The money generated by the Phonathon will be used to supplement UCO's operating budget, she said.

Peters set a goal of $30,000 to -

THE VISTA

$50,000 to be raised through the annual fund drive, which also includes a direct mail campaign.

"Really though, an actual goal is to get quantity of participation as much as quantity of dollars," said Peters. If you can get the alumni to start giving, eventually they will give more."

Volunteers call alumni on Sundays from 1 to 9 p.m. and Monday through Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m.

Anyone interested in volunteering for the Phonathon should contact Heather Nakoneznv of the Alumni Association at 341-2980, Ext. 2775.

Satellite conference to be held Dec. 7

By Cynthia Chung Student Writer

A national satellite videoconference, Putting Consumers in Charge: Credit Education Strategies, organized by the American Express Company (AMEX). will be held from 12-2 p.m.. Dec. 7. at the UCO Media Center.

The coordinator of the event, Dr. Billye Peterson, is an associate professor of general business at UCO. She said the primary targets of the videoconference are educators and education majors from Oklahoma schools within the region.

"We want to have more people educated in credit so that they in turn can educate others," she said.

"When you get a credit card, do not put so much on it.

Always try to pay off your balances in full, and know what the card's APR (annual percentage rate) is," said Peterson.

Juried art exhibit recognizes student talent

By Ellen Baker Student Writer

First place awards are hanging on most of Michael Wallo's entries in the Art Students' Juried Exhibition showing at the Central Museum of Art through Nov. 18.

Wallo, an 18 year-old senior art major from Edmond, Okla., received first place awards in Mixed Media, Drawing and Sculpture, first and second place awards in Printmaking and third place in Painting I. "I don't like to limit myself to one medium," said Wallo, who plans to stay in Oklahoma

November 15, 1994

and pursue an art career after graduation.

Wallo has always had an interest in art.

"It's the only thing I've ever been good at," said Wallo.

His mother, Jane and father, William are both artists. William Wallo is director of interactive multi-media at UCO. William Wallo describes his son's entries in the show as a world of characters that can interact: "Michael sees things happening in a narrative world.

This series has evolved over the last two years."

"You have to stay with the work long enough to phase into the whispers. Sometimes it's the whispers that are the most promising," said Wallo.

Chemistry prepares students for a career, not just for a job. Students learn interpersonal skills through mock interviews, resume writing and networking at compulsory ACS meetings, she said.

Hanson-Painton also cautions students not to take for granted that they will be guaranteed jobs after graduation.

Dr. Fred Grosz, chair of the chemistry department at UCO, reiterates the point.

"You need to start looking beforehand, attend ACS meetings and use its employment services."

Fashion Troupe visited by Edmond business owner

By Cynthia Chung Student Writer

"Students have no idea what the rules are in society. You're expected to figure the rules out for yourself," said Dr. Olivia HansonPainton, a professor who teaches Communication and Career Chemistry at UCO. And that is where her course, which began in fall 1993, steps in.

"We did not have a lot of training for many of the skills needed to be successful, and students need to be prepared," she said.

Communication and Career

The Fashion Troupe welcomed Lesta Oliver, owner of Simply Southwest as the guest speaker at its Nov. 8 meeting.

Simply Southwest is a ladies specialty store in downtown Edmond. Oliver also has a shop in Tulsa.

She has been in business for herself since 1984. Previously, she had worked for small specialty stores on and off for 10 years.

Oliver attended Oklahoma State University on a clothing and achievement scholarship, taking business administration classes, as well as fashion.

"My background is in clothing construction and textiles. It wasn't something I was real dedicated to but I had worked hard and had learned a lot," said Oliver.
