The Student Voice Since 1903

Flu season strikes on campus By Susan Reger Student Writer long with the hustle and bustle of the approaching holiday season comes the dvent of the flu season. Students' main line of defense is the flu vaccine, which is offered this fall at the Student Health Center. The vaccine offers a six-month protection and is available to nine-year-olds through adults, said Susan LaForge, director of the Student Health Center. "Most people experience a little bit of redness at the sight of injection and occasionally a little bit of fever," LaForge said. Symptoms of flu include: high fever, loss of appetite, coughing, severe body aches and fatigue. The illness runs about two to three days in healthy people. "College students are at high risk because of the concentration of people in small rooms," said LaForge. "The virus spreads through droplets in the air when someone coughs or sneezes." A target date for the flu's arrival is unknown, so it is important for students to get protection now, said LaForge. The Student Health Center is open to students and faculty with a validated UCO ID card from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and shots are $10. Because the vaccine is in an egg base, those individuals allergic to eggs are not recommended to get shots. A

"I've been an evening student and a weekend student both, so I know the frustrations that go along with that, the fact that there is not a way to get some things done,” Gruntmier said.

considers herself a facilitator for both students and faculty, helping them perform after-hours tasks. "My role is to spearhead any kind of problem the student can't get accomplished or to help them walk through the system," she said. Her day to day duties vary according to what may be happening at the time, she said. "Toward the beginning of the semester, I had a lot of students who couldn't find their classrooms or it turned out the section they enrolled in wasn't right or they wanted to know if there was a slot open in another class.

ROTC

Field training exercises at Arcadia show how UCO ROTC members react in combat situations.

"Occasionally, I have a faculty member, especially an adjunct faculty member, who has trouble getting something accomplished, because maybe they're here only after seven on Tuesday nights. "Sometimes it is literally walking something to, say, the Administration Building." ome evening and weekend problems include availability of copy machines and changing the temperatures in classrooms, she said. "There isn't a good answer to that yet, but it's one of those things I've found is a problem and I can collect information and pass it along." The situation illustrates that there are

some limitations to what she can do in the office. C/ cannot help a brand new student enroll for the first time. The main frame goes down earlier in the evening so there are times, say after seven, when I can't help them find a schedule. "Usually, it's a two-day situation, where they bring me the problem, and I try to get back to them the next day with an answer." She said she cannot get students into classes, but will hook them up with instructors who may be able to.

Christmas sacrificed for almighty dollar

emember when a town called Bedford Falls stood for the meaning of Christmas? George Bailey was the quintessential hero who stayed in his hometown to take care of the ones he loved. His selfless acts represented the spirit of Christmas, and that is why "It's a Wonderful Life" has become an annual favorite. During this time of year, we pat ourselves on the back for having been so very kind to our brethren, and giving so much of ourselves to our communities and families. But what about the children? Many say Christmas is for them, but what is the next generation learning about this holiday that was once so sacred? Most children are much more concerned about what is under the tree for them than what the day signifies—giving is better than receiving. Commercialization has changed Christmas from a religious experience to a meaningless profit-making, moneygrubbing scheme, and we are the victims. Even Santa Claus is being exploited for the almighty dollar, and used to represent, in a child's mind, what rewards can be had if they are "good." Christmas has become bribery. It has also saturated the system. Millions of children don't celebrate Christmas because of their religious beliefs. They cannot go anywhere—school, the mall, the grocery store—without the trappings of yuletide cheer shoved in their rosey little faces. Christmas, as we know it, overshadows other spiritual celebrations. The truth is that this particular cup of cheer really is overflowing— overflowing until it is encompassing Thanksgiving beneath its white driven snow. What are our children learning? Ignorance. Ignorance of what, in the past, has been a family-inspired celebration. Our parents talk about the good old days, days when a super-secret decoder ring seemed to be the best that it could get. Today, the best gift isn't the one that is sent with love, but the one that costs the most. Future generations are dependent on us for their traditions. Do we want to be remembered as parents whose love had no monetary stigma, or as the grinches who stole Christmas? A

Director explains Health Center budget

recent article in The Vista may have led people to believe that the Student Health Center budget had been decreased this year. The Student Health Center did convert a nursing position into a physician position in order to have two doctors available during sick call instead of one. Their overall budget, however, was increased by $1,163 from $242,489 to $243,652, not decreased.

Not only is President Nigh not planning to decrease the Student Health Center budget, he is expanding physician hours on campus in order to meet the needs of our students. The Student Health Center budget information since fiscal year 1992-93 is as follows: ✓ Adjusted Budget 1994-95 $243,652 ✓ Original Budget 1994-95 $242,489 • Original Budget 1993-94

$241,961 V Original Budget 1992-93 $235,750 —Sharon Martin Director of budget, Student Health Center Editor's Note: We stand behind our editorial staff and any statements or opinions expressed within the content of the editorial. Our facts have been well represented and are backed by sources.

International Night a smash, student says s every one knows, the International Night is ver. So are the days of practicing dances on the tennis court and the planning for the display. The last 10 to 14 days before the International Night were so hectic that we hardly slept more than four to five hours a night. To gain one's end, some of us had to miss classes, jobs and other activities. On behalf of the Pakistan Student Association, I would like to thank all the guests, sponsors, judges, students, internationals and participants. Most special thanks goes to the international office. They really brought on these auspicious days. It was a time that we interacted with each

other, and shared our cultures. For building the display, I would like to thank Faward Khan, Syed Salah Irshad, Asim Aftab, Syed Ahmed and Syed Sheahzad Ali. A big thanks goes to Faward Khan, the key person in designing and organizing the display. He is so artistic, if you enter his house everything you see he created. His effort in this year's display was outstanding. Syed Salah Irshad, the inventor of "chat rouse" has been a great help to us. For food, I really want to express appreciation to Ms. Major Irshad who cooked those delicious kabab, Mr. Arif Jamil Siddiqui for cooking enchanting cholas and Mohammad Salman Minza for cooking awesome

sheerkhorma. For dances, I would like to thank all the performers. It was the combined effort by all the performers. Special thanks to Jasica Rose who has served the Pakistan Student Association for years, and whenever we need her help, she is always available. Finally, the costumes for the dances were the total effort of Rumsha Chisty. If I forgot to mention anyone who was a part of our success, please forgive me. Be ready for the. Pakistani's Night in November. I conclude by saying Pakistan Zindabad. —Aurangzeb Mustafa President, Pakistan Student Association

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

More than 7,000 soldiers from Oklahoma died for their country in World War II. UCO President George Nigh and the Nigh Institute of State Government have been instrumental in the remembrance of these men. During a Veterans Day ceremony at the state capitol, Nigh received the Patrick Henry Citation for his efforts as hundreds of Oklahomans paid homage to all soldiers on Nov. 11. The award recognizes local officials and civic leaders who provide exceptionally strong support for the National Guard. Nigh and the Nigh Institute were nominated for the award following their "Salute to the 45th" on April 12. The observance honored Oklahoma's 45th Infantry on their 50th anniversary of World War II. The citation was presented by Major General Gary D. Maynard, Adjutant General of Oklahoma and state secretary of Veterans Affairs.

"The Wehrmacht (German army) was well-trained and very well-equipped. It took a better army to beat them and the 45th was the better army," said Livermore. The dedication address was given by retired Major General Fred A. Daugherty, a former commander of the 45th Infantry Division, who praised their efforts in World War II.

"Their spirit in time of war was the spirit of patriotism, dedication, courage and sacrifice. Many times it was the supreme sacrifice," said Daugherty. Gov. David Walters accepted the "Spirit of the 45th" memorial on behalf of the state of Oklahoma. "7,252 times an Oklahoman fell dead buying one more piece of freedom. I fear that numbers are just numbers and we forget the pain and sacrifice," said Walters. "Thank you to all the veterans who have to paid so dearly for the freedom we enjoy."

Reserve Officers ward off 'infiltration' of UCO ROTC 'Programmed for success,' cadets take charge at Lake Arcadia By Jennifer Fox

Student Writer

the coordinators. Each mission contained different tactical situations that had to be fulfilled in order to properly accomplish the missions objective. "It's a challenge for them because they have to take on an aggressor force that will be out here in the woods and so they actually have somebody to fight against," Brogden said. Raids on enemy facilities, ambushes, and capturing or disabling enemy equipment were the orders for the day. Leadership roles changed after each mission giving different cadets the responsibilities involved with being a squad leader. "Leading your peers is the hardest thing you'll ever, ever do," said Capt. Kennan Horn. The cadets experienced firsthand the demands that are placed upon the shoulders of the modern combatants.

ometime before 8 a.m. Nov. 12, a small group of future officers gathered in front of UCO's Thatcher Hall. They had come to experience the trials of field exercises and to learn how they could perform during combat situations. Nearly an hour later, some 17 members of the Reserve Officers Training Corp. had assembled, and received their equipment and orders. Their orders revolved around the infiltration of Lake Arcadia by La Costra Nostra, a south American drug ring. The infiltrators were in reality four cadets of the UCO ROTC. The remaining cadets formed the Alpha and Bravo squads whose training missions were preprogrammed for success, in defeating the opposing force. The programming went as far as determining the number of cadets that would be killed in each mission. "It's primarily an exercise in making sure they understand how a small unit functions in a combat environment," said Maj. Theodore Brogden. The missions were designed by the senior cadets who have participated in similar exercises for at least two years. The missions were then carried out by the junior cadets while the senior cadets observed the performance. The senior cadets then rated the perforReservation mances from "excellent" to Sales Agents "unsatisfactory."

Packet, guidelines offered to help guide UCO resume-writers

National debate tourney held at UCO By Jill Massey

Student Writer By Phil Harriman

Student Writer "A resume should be carefully constructed since it is a vital tool in a job search," said Carrol McAllister, a career development specialist at UCO Career and Development Placement Services. A packet of information on writing a resume, including several professionally-styled resume samples, is available to students at the University Center, Room 312. Resume writing help is available to students during the center's "walk-in" hours. The hours are: 9 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Tuesdays, 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. "All students need to do is bring a copy of their resumes during `walk-in' hours, or call for an appointment for other times," said McAllister. McAllister said that a resume is a subjective piece of writing, however, the UCO services office provides some

good guidelines for students to follow. The guidelines are: ✓ Most new graduates should limit their resumes to one page in length. ✓ Avoid using jargon, acronyms, and abbreviations. ✓ Avoid overcrowding by leaving at least one inch margins on the top, bottom, and sides. ✓ Current experiences should be noted first and written in the present tense with everything else written in the past tense. ✓ Students should be careful of spelling, punctuation, and word choice. ✓ Resumes should be updated yearly. "Light colors, such as white or ivory, are the best choices for resume paper, especially since some larger companies are now using scanning devices to screen resumes," said McAllister. The Career Development & Placement Services office number is (405) 341-2980, Ext. 2241.

Quake and wave devastates island MALAYLAY, Philippines (AP) — A strong earthquake leveled villages on a central Philippine island Nov. 15, but most of the 45 people who died were swept away by a tidal wave. For Purina Rosales, the nightmare of Mindoro Island began when the quake leveled her bamboo home at 3:15 a.m. A few hours later, she found the bodies of Eduardo, her husband, and Alesa, her 4-year-old daughter, hundreds of yards away. "I need you! I need you!" Mrs. Rosales screamed as she knelt in a one-room schoolhouse where they and 13 other bodies had been brought and placed on benches. "Why didn't you use your strength and swim?" she cried to her husband. Like other survivors in the fishing village of Malaylay, Mrs. Rosales said she grabbed hold of a coconut tree when she was swept away from the rubble of her home moments after the quake by a three-foot tidal wave. The quake and the surging water killed at least 45 people, injured 135 others, left eight missing and destroyed as many as 200 homes along the island's northern coast.

New Nintendo virtually unrealistic TOKYO (AP) — Nintendo Co. Ltd. invited fans to abandon 2-D zapping and caroming, in favor of its new 3-D "virtual reality system," which it says will dominate the next generation of video games. Game developers and fans were generally unimpressed by Virtual Boy." which Nintendo, the world's leading video game company, introduced at a trade show Nov. 15 and plans to start selling in April for $200. The toy's three-dimensional. high-resolution graphics, in shades of red on a black background, make characters and other images seem to jump out and fall back while moving through space. Still. many of those attending the trade show were disappointed that the system was not full-color and did not "track" — the industry term for images that follow a user's movements. Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said the company opted for monochrome because a full-color, 3-D system would have been "unaffordable." -

Trains speed through new Chunnel PARIS (AP) — Hundreds of passengers left Paris, London and Brussels this morning on the inaugural public run of highspeed trains through the channel tunnel. French and British railway officials hope the trains under the English Channel will eat into the heavy air traffic between Paris and London. The Eurostar passenger train left for its three-hour, sixminute ride to downtown London on schedule at 8:07 a.m. with 794 passengers aboard. Ten minutes after leaving the Gare du Nord in Paris, the 18car train hit its top speed of 187 mph. Later, it cut its speed to 100 mph as it passed through the 31.4-mile tunnel from a point near Calais, France, to Folkestone, England. "I think it's great. I'm afraid to fly, so this is great," said Mara Roth, 34, of New York.

Ruling gives drunks right to rape? TORONTO (AP) — A Montreal man pulled a 65-year-old woman from a wheelchair and sexually assaulted her. One court rejected his defense that he was too drunk to know what he was doing, and he was convicted. Then the Supreme Court of Canada ruled. Drunkenness, it said, can be used as a legal defense for sexual assault. The court on Sept. 30 ordered that the man be given a new trial. The ruling shocked a wide range of Canadians, and outraged women's rights groups. And the fallout has just begun. Last month, an Alberta court acquitted a man of assaulting his wife, citing the Supreme Court ruling. However, the drunkenness argument didn't wash in at least one recent case. Last week, in a military court, the captain of a Canadian minesweeper was convicted of assault for propositioning, groping and kissing a female crewmember, despite his claim he was so drunk he didn't know what happened.

Reigning Miss UCO 1994 Lometa Woods said she would run for the title all over again if she could. "It was a lot of fun, it was a lot of hard work, you meet a lot of wonderful people," Woods said. "One of my closest friends I met last year at Miss UCO...the

people are what meant the most to me." Deadline for application to the Miss UCO pageant is 5 p.m. Nov. 22. The Miss UCO pageant will be held at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 28 in Mitchell Hall. Participants will be judged on interviews, swimsuit wear, evening wear, and talent. The first four runners-up and Miss UCO will receive scholarships.

UCO Pageant Director Winston Banta said experience is not necessary to compete. "It's not a beauty pageant," he said. "It's the ability to speak, the ability to express yourself and be physically fit." Anyone interested can pick up an application from Dr. Deanna Land's office in the Administration Building, Room 213, or call 3412980, Ext. 2364.

People of all ages are encouraged to attend and bring their families, said Sharon Moore of Central Office Supply and member of the Downtown Edmond Business Association.

Taps, Tutus and Tennis Shoes school of dance will feature some young dancers performing portions of The Nutcracker. Downtown businesses will have an open house with refreshments. The Edmond Evening Sun is producing a caroling song book to aid in the group caroling. Free trolley rides will be available.

"We've had a great evening enrollment for a long time, but Saturdays are a brand new situation. "Most of our Saturday people are not exclusively Saturday people. There are 26 students who just attend on Saturday. But my guess is they are not brand new students, either. They've attended nights or days in another semester." This fall, the college offered four traditional three credit hour business courses on Saturday for 293 students. "That will grow. There's no question that there's an

interest in looking into what we can offer on Saturdays and who's out there that we can serve with a Saturday program. "There are a lot of people who work a 40-hour week and just can't drag themselves up here at night for a class, so Saturday classes are very appealing."

A poets life: UCO student thrives on the `spontaneity' of life's poetry By Jason Webb

Staff Writer edina's coffee house: home of the poets, artists and any other teenagers, young adults or elderly persons who enter. Located in the heart of Paseo, known for its "artsy" atmosphere, Medina's plays host to a myriad of shows, ranging from open mike poetry readings to bands giving concerts every other weekend. On Wednesday nights, local poets are invited to share their works with their colleagues. One man in particular is always there, always counted on to give a performance, and this Wednesday night is no exception. David Smith, junior art photography student at UCO, or better known to Medina's patrons as "Spontaneous Bob," stood at his table, writing feverishly as Paul Medina, co-owner of the coffeehouse, called his name. His pencil slammed against the table as he held a piece of paper in the air like a stock broker would on Wall Street. "Got it!" he yelled. His fan club sitting next to him responded by chanting, "Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob..." Bob quickly took center stage. To his immediate left, stood an old saloon-style red piano, accentuated by the paste green and tan Westernstyle curtains hanging from the giant windows at the front of the coffeehouse. The crowd of 20 looked across their giant coffee mugs and round black or white tables. Bob brushed his shoulder-length, fiery red hair away from his face, introduced himself and began to perform.

I went in proudly, came away..." After his dramatization, Bob returned to his table of awaiting fans, and continued to sip on his coffee.

Julius Sun is a practicing writer, publisher and photographer attending UCO and majoring in art photography. Smith's latest name change came about because of a cold winter and the University Center. "They stopped allowing us to smoke in the University Center, so we had to smoke outside. It was really, really cold last winter, and for no apparent reason, I guess, other than to keep warm, I started jumping up and down outside while smoking and it was, you know, a `spontaneous bob.' "It actually started in one of my little drawings. One of my characters was (named) Spontaneous Bob. My real name is Robert Spur of the Moment," he said, seeing if anyone would catch the joke.

"I don't do structure, I won't write sonnets," he demanded. "I won't rhyme, I refuse to rhyme. It's a Tristan Tzara thing." Other than Betty Shipley, UCO lecturer of creative studies, whom Bob passionately refers to as the "poet of the gods," Tristan Tzara is Bob's hero in the poetry world. "He was around about 1910—him and some other weird people who were avoiding the war in Zurich, Switzerland. And they were just fed up with art, they were mainly painters, and they just kind of rebelled against everything. That was their thing and they would do just really weird stuff."

Wrestlers make strong showing at first meet By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

Last weekend, the Central Oklahoma wrestling squad kicked off their season by traveling to Warrensburg, Mo. for the Central Missouri Open. The Bronchos returned with six of their ten starters placing at the tournament, which featured both NCAA Division I and Division II schools. Leading the Bronchos were 126 Brian Melchiori and 158 Mark Cunningham, who both claimed individual titles. Melchiori, the defending NCAA II national champion, pinned Oklahoma State's Jason Allen 30 seconds into the second period of the 126 finals. Cunningham upset NebraskaOmaha's Brian Zanders on a 3-1 decision. Last season, Cunningham lost to Zanders three times when both were wrestling at 150. Coming up through the consolation bracket, 134 Mike Keim and 142 Jerry Best both took thirdplace. Hvy Denny Kennedy took fourth and 167 Chad Beeson placed fifth for UCO. "Even with getting beat they came back, did a nice job and got third," said Head Coach David James. "I think that speaks well for both those individuals," said James of Keim and Best. The Bronchos did not get much help from the younger wrestlers at

the Open. Some of the younger guys were uptight and nervous, James said. "That was a little disappointing in that area, but we've just got to get better," said James. This weekend UCO heads to Omaha, Neb. for the NebraskaOmaha Open, a tournament that will again feature Div. I and II teams. "It is just a stepping stone, the level of competition will go up," said James.

Spikers prepare for run at national title Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer The Lone Star Conference Champion Lady Bronchos are headed to Warrensburg, Mo. for the NCAA Division II Women's Volleyball Championship this weekend. Making the tournament for the first time in school history, UCO will enter the South Central Regional with a familiar feeling. Déja-vu might describe what the Lady Bronchos are facing in the first round of the tournament. LSC foe West Texas A&M will meet the second seeded Lady Broncho's in the first round of the tourney. UCO and the Lady Buffs have met three times already this season with the Lady Bronchos claiming two of the three, including the

win last week in the LSC tournament. "We are basically preparing the same because we are playing the same team," Head Coach Mark Herrin said. "We had a good scouting report, so we are just going to play the same." If the Lady Bronchos defeat WTAMU, they will face the winner of host Central Missouri State and Northeast Missouri State in the second round. UCO defeated NMSU early in the season at the Missouri Southern Classic three games to one but have never played Central Missouri. Should the Lady Bronchos win their second round game, they will be South Central Regional Champions and move on to the finals Dec. 3-5.

Russians exhibit dominance Russian all-star team posts exhibition win over women cagers By Scott Moore

Sports Editor

The Russians came to Edmond Monday night and conquered the Central Oklahoma women's basketball team 101-83 in an exhibition game inside Hamilton Field House. Club Spartak, an all-star team from St. Petersburg, Russia, over powered the Lady Bronchos, but it was an outcome that wasn't too surprising for veteran Lady Broncho Head Coach John Keely who is beginning his 14th year at the helm. "We came in expecting to lose," said Keely. "No one in the state has played them close yet. They've beaten Eastern Junior College and Oklahoma City University pretty easily. They were quicker, bigger, faster and could really shoot the ball well. However, it was great to go out and play against somebody other than ourselves." Three of Spartek's seven play-

ers scored 20 points or more with Zuma Rogutina leading all scorers with 28 points. The Lady Bronchos got big games from senior forward Tammie Barker with 17 points (8-for-8) and senior guard April Taylor with 16. "It was a great game from a standpoint that it showed us what we can and can't do," said Keely. "Offensively I thought we executed pretty well. Tammie Barker played well, she didn't miss a shot. April Taylor played well. Defensively I wasn't as pleased. We stood around too much defensively and we didn't get back as quickly as we should have which enabled them to get a lot of fast breaks on us. We had some breakdowns but they were things that we can correct." The Lady Bronchos will hope to have those areas corrected by Friday, that's when they open the season by traveling to Denton, Texas for the Pioneer Premiere. The Lady Bronchos will face Central Arkansas tomorrow at 5 p.m. before squaring off against

UCO's Aska, Rhoades ranked by NCAA Senior tailback Joe Aska and senior cornerback Elton Rhoades were ranked in the NCAA Division II final statistics. Aska, a candidate for the Harlon Hill Award, finished fourth rushing for Division II and is also ninth in all-purpose yards. Aska finished the 1994 season with 1,629 total yards rushing (a UCO record) and 1,788 all-purpose yards. Aska finished tops in the Lone Star Conference in both of those catagories. Rhoades finished in a tie for top honors in the catagory of interceptions, collecting 11 for the season. His 11 interceptions was good enough for a new UCO single-season record and his 18 interceptions for his career is also a new school record.

"They were two highly recruited players and I'm really excited about them," said Keely. "They played three-on-three ball in high school so they never played fiveon-five before." In their first five-on-five contest, Heavin and Carlson both scored 12 points against Spartak in only 19 and 14 minutes of playing time respectively.

CRISP By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer The Community Responding to International Students Program (CRISP) needs host families to join their friendship program. At the present time, 110 Edmond families are enrolled in the program, said Dr. Ron Paddack, director of international student services at UCO. "We need about a 100 more families, as we have a large number of students who have applied. Some have been waiting for as long as a year for a host family." CRISP is UCO's version of a host family program, and it has been operating for 21 years. The student does not live with the family, it is strictly a friendship program, Paddack said. "All we ask is that the family make contact with their assigned student once a month," said Paddack. This contact is usually an initiation into the home for dinner, a trip

to grandma's house, shopping, or a visit to the theater, anything that allows the student to participate in family activities, said Paddack "The students especially love to be assigned to families who have children, it makes them feel part of an active family. They usually end up going to the children's soccer and little league games," said Paddack. As long as they have an interest in international students, learning from them, and in sharing Edmond, they can make a good CRISP family, said Paddack. Families are obtained through many sources: advertising in The Edmond Evening Sun, sending out promotions to Edmond churches and speaking at civic clubs when invited, said Paddack.

"We find that we have had many matches throughout the years that have blossomed. I can think of at least three of our Edmond families that have gone overseas to visit the former student's family in their home country." Families become a liaison between the student and the larger Edmond community. An international student living in the dormitory has little opportunity to get to know Edmond and the surrounding community and CRISP opens a brand new world for the student, Paddack said. "Many families are quick to tell me they get more from this program than they give." For more information, call the international student office, 3412980, Ext. 2374.

Graduate cherishes the value of a hard earned education By Sheila Nunnelee Staff Writer

urled up on her parent's couch when she was young, pretending to be fast asleep but listening closely to the stories passed around between family members, Reba Collins was inspired to listen to the past and tell others about her knowledge. Reba Collins was a young woman in a difficult era. The expectations from women in the `50s were different than those of today. Collins married at 16 and had her first child that same year. She quit school and stayed home with her children. When Collins was young, it wasn't typical for women to take the GED test, but she was ready to get more education. In 1955, after doing well on the test, she was ready to begin college. "Now, a lot of older people go to college, but then, they didn't. My husband thought I was crazy," Collins said. She would go to school, work until 9 p.m., go home, wash diapers, put her three kids to bed, and study until 3 a.m. The next day the cycle would start all over. "For years, we bought no clothes. It required sacrifice," Collins said. Between work at a department store and school at UCO, where she was taking 20 hours, she became very sick. Because she had to work, school was the part of her life she had to quit. Her interest in writing started when she won a contest for a historical feature titled "Kentucky Daisy." She won $250 for Best Original Story about Oklahoma. The money enabled her to stay in school and quit her night job. Tuition costs then were $36 for any number of hours, so she took the maximum of 20. "I loved every minute of it," Collins said.

She combed back her short, silver hair with her long fingers tipped with perfectly manicured nails. "I've had red hair for 30 years. My daughter was born with red hair and I had brown hair so people would say, 'Where did she get that red hair?' So I decided to go ahead and dye mine, too," Collins said. Collins finished her college education by 1957, taking only two years to get her bachelor's degree. While student teaching at a local junior high school, she also taught journalism classes at UCO. She left UCO in 1975 as a professor of journalism and director of university relations. Collins then became director of the Will Rogers Memorial and birthplace in Claremore, and Oologah, Okla. Her husband passed away after 42 years of marriage, and Collins retired from the Memorial in 1990. One year after her husband's death, Collins had a heart attack. While she was recovering, her husband's childhood friend came to see her. ABOVE: The two fell in love and Reba Collins have been married for five RIGHT Reba years.

Credit between semesters!

It's not unusual for tourists to take a few snapshots. Recently, though, a group of UCO students went to extremes when they traveled to Taos, N.M. The Donna Nigh Gallery will exhibit some of their photographs from the trip when Tokens of Taos II opens Monday. The show will run through Dec. 15. For the second straight year, a bus-load of students and alumni visited Taos on fall break. The trip was organized and led by Dr. H.O. "Woody" Gaddis, professor of journalism at UCO. More than 25 of the photographers entered the work in the exhibition. "We'll probably show about 100 of the photographs," said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, director of the Donna Nigh Gallery. "The quality is unbelievable," said Adams. "It far surpasses last year's." The students ran into one difficulty on their trip. "It was tough because there wasn't any sun. Because of the weather, there wasn't enough light," said Lesli K. Earnest, a student photographer. "If you want to know all about the

trip, Dr. Seuss's first line in The Cat in the Hat explains it all. 'The sun was not sunny, it's too wet to play, so we sat and we sat on that cold wet, wet day, — said Earnest. The photographers had to look a little harder to find good pictures, said another student photographer, Leslie Wakulich. "The photo opportunities were great, but the weather was a challenge," said Wakulich. "You really had to look beyond the obvious for a good picture." The exhibition will feature quality photography, said Mark Zimmerman, photo technician at UCO and a member of the entourage. "There's been a lot of good work turned in for the show," said Zimmerman. "It's really impressive." Earnest agreed. "I would recommend going to the show because a lot of the stuff is really beautiful. It's amazing." The photos at the exhibition will be for sale, Adams said. "They will be specially-priced to be sold. It's a great opportunity to purchase some really good photographs," said Adams. A reception for the photographers has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Dec. 6 in the gallery. For more information about the exhibition, contact the Donna Nigh Gallery at 341-2980, Ext. 2432. ,X0

Judicial Academy to begin first class By Iris Knight Student Writer The Judicial Education Academy kicks off its first class at UCO from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 6 and 7 in the Lariat Room on the fourth floor in the University Center. "The goal of the Judicial Education Academy is to address a need for continuing education for the judiciary in the state," said Linda Earls, special projects director for the Office of Outreach in the Nigh Institute at UCO. The academy, not open to the public, is offering and developing judicial programs and workshops for all levels of the judiciary: municipal judges, court clerks, administrative law judges and other judicial administrators. The first class focuses on the orientation of newly appointed and elected judges in Oklahoma. At the opening ceremony, President George Nigh is introducing the keynote speaker, Chief Justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court Ralph B. Hodges. A private reception for Chief Justice Hodges is scheduled for the evening of Dec. 5.

MSA to hold bowling competition By Jerry Yeoh Student Writer The Malaysian Student Association (MSA) will have this fall's bowling competition at 11:30 p.m. Nov. 19. The "MSA Open," which takes place every semester except summers, takes on a different format this time, said Loo Ee Keong, an organizer and an off-campus representative for the MSA. "We'll be having two different categories, the closed category, which is only for MSA members and the open category for outsiders," said Loo. The main reason for the change from past competition formats is to give the winners of the closed category a chance to compete in the open as well, said Loo. Entry fees for MSA members are $25 per team, which must consist of four males and at least one female bowler, and $35 for the open category. The winning team in the open category will receive $50. The second and third place teams will receive $30 and $20 respectively. "The closed category winner

will get $30," said Loo, adding that medals and trophies for winners and around 20 door prizes will be given away. The MSA was allowed to reserve 30 out of the 40 bowling alleys by the MSA competition sponsor, Boulevard Bowl, at 3501 S. Boulevard in Edmond, with hopes that there would be a favorable turnout. Those who want more information should call MSA President Wilson See at 3484703.

Self-defense seminar offered By Sheila Nunnelee Staff Writer Are you afraid to walk alone across campus at night? A self-defense seminar led by Matt Niles at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at the Broncho Corral in the Health and P.E. Building will teach students ways to protect themselves. The seminar, sponsored by the Association of Women Students (AWS), was held a couple of years ago, said Sarah 011ar, president of AWS. "We have SafeWalk, but sometimes you have to wait. You have to know how to defend yourself," 011ar said. "The seminar is very beneficial, because basic things will be taught," 011ar said. Tawni Corwin, a senior at UCO, attended the seminar a couple of years ago and recommends the training for everyone. "It's fun and you can bring a partner to learn hands-on. It is definitely worth going," said Corwin. "Everyone needs to know a little self-defense in case of ever being alone," said Corwin. For more information, call Sarah 011ar at 769-2243.

Tulsa trip planned for European Students Association By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer The newly reformed European Students Association will take its first trip of the semester to Tulsa Nov. 25. "This is our first semester as a group so this trip is important to us," said Nevan Loncar, vice president of the association. The association will visit the Philbrook Museum, go ice skating at the Williams Center and is planning a meal at the Casa Bonita Mexican restaurant, said Loncar.

"We have 25 members so far, but expect that to increase in the next week, as several people are interested in the trip and in order to go you have to be a paid member. The club is going to pay for everything so we want people to respond in large numbers," said Loncar. Since this has been the clubs first semester, it has tried to be quite active taking part in the Laff Olympics and the intramural soccer tournament. The club meets once a month, usually for dinner or other activities, Loncar said. For more information, call Loncar, or the club president at 330-1708.

Satellite seminar slated for continuing education By Iris Knight Student Writer The continuing education department brings new ideas to UCO teachers. Another live satellite seminar is scheduled to help instruct teachers in developing program for adult education. It is slated for 3 to 4 p.m. Nov. 17 in the Media Center, Room 103 of the Communications Building. Linda Norton, director of continuing education at UCO said the content focuses on adult learning. "They think technology," said Norton.

The educators of these programs are themselves of an older generation, quite used to the standard form of learning, said Norton. Norton said the problem of educating these instructors is primarily in technology. "They need to not just use it, but do it," said Norton. The key instructor of the video is Edgar J. Boone, founding chair of the department of adult and community college education at North Carolina State University. Boone is joined in the video by Marilyn Miller, past president of the American Library Association to discuss Boone's book, Developing Programs in Adult Education. Registration is free for faculty and administrators of UCO. Those interested need to contact Charlene Gant at 341-2980, Ext. 2413.

nized by their individual achievements from the intramural office and by individual trophies from the soccer club, said Daneshfar, who is also a sponsor of the soccer club. The three top teams at this point are Sig Tau, ATO and the Sheiks, said Daneshfar. "All the games are played on the soccer field in front of Hamilton Field House. There will be two matches Thursday and four matches on Saturday. The final will be played Dec. 3," Daneshfar said.

Soccer Club to hold tournament

With 80 turkeys and all the trimmings, seven churches in Edmond are sponsoring the 14th annual free Thanksgiving Day Dinner. The dinner is hosted this year from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 24. by the First Presbyterian Church in Edmond. Turkeys were donated by Edmond North's Junior ROTC's "Operation Turkey." Any food left over from the meal will be boxed and taken to the Jesus House, Senior Citizens, Breakfast on Broadway and the Hope Center. Left over funding will also go to the Hope Center. For more information, call 3419073 and leave a message.

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Eight teams are competing in the Intramural Soccer Tournament sponsored by UCO's Soccer Club.
