Enrollment causes budget shortfall Lower than expected enrollment will force UCO to "pull $1.5 million out of the budget over the year," President George Nigh said. The university is using voluntary cuts to deal with the lack of money, $780,00 in the operating budget. "At other universities they've eliminated programs...(when they had a shortfall)," Nigh said. But he emphasized that wouldn't happen at UCO. "No current faculty or staff are in jeopardy," he said. But he said vacant positions might not be filled. "We analyze enrollment to see if that position is in the right place," Nigh said. He explained that if the position is in a department with

declining enrollment, it might be left vacant. He said he has asked for voluntary cuts. "You look around your area and tell us what you can do," Nigh said he's told employees. He cited an example in Student Services where they decided not to buy a vehicle already approved. "If there aren't voluntary cuts, then I'll have to step in and make mandatory cuts," Nigh said. The budget must be balanced when the fiscal year ends June 30, he said. The budget is being examined on a weekly basis. He said as long as "we're moving and making progress, then we won't have to make mandatory cuts." The 3 percent pay raise is still secure, he said. RS)

hese are lean times for UCO. Despite a budget boost from the Regents, lagging enrollment produced a drop in revenue. Once again the university is short

on funds. The administration seems to be trying to please everyone by asking for voluntary cuts. They are proud of the fact that no programs are being eliminated. Reductions are being made when employees leave UCO, their positions may not be filled. The area is analyzed for enrollment and if enrollment is declining, then that position won't be filled. This strategy may not be eliminating programs outright, but it will likely have the same eventual outcome. Reducing support for an area is draining its life blood slowly awayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;condemning it to an agonizing death. Dr. Cornelius Wooten recently told the faculty senate, "...we can continue business as usual or we can resolve that we are willing to undergo the changes to ensure our future." Deciding what changes to make is not an easy task; many things have to be weighed and balanced. But in the end, it has to be decided "what's really important?" Does UCO want to do everything half way? Or does the university want to capitalize on its strengths and reduce the number of programs in order to make the remaining ones excellent? Sometimes the administration should make unpopular decisions for the best interest of the institution. The Vista cartoons homepage at ht-tp://www.geocities.com/Heartland/2307

've never written a letter to the editor before, however, after reading Soham Dhakal's letter about leaving movie reviews out of the Vista, I could not help myself. In my opinion, Dhakal made too many faulty generalizations about UCO students. Granted, not all UCO students are movie buffs who love to spend their weekends at the local theaters. There are more important things to read about than movies. I don't deny that. However, Dhakal said one very important thing: "...reviews about movies in the entertainment section."

That's exactly what movies are: entertainment. They are entertaining to students and nonstudents alike. The vista is not putting these reviews on the front page. Dhakal's argument could even be made about the "Contrary to Mary" column. It has very little to do with UCO as a whole. But, Dhakal has no complaints about that column. Finally, I don't know if you're the type that gets very involved in the arts and entertainment side of UCO or Edmond, for that matter, but Edmond has always been known as a very artistic community in Oklahoma.

Likewise, movies have always been a very high-grossing entertainment industry in Edmond. Many students don't subscribe to the other local papers, so The Vista is one way for them to get current reviews from the perspective of a college student, instead of two old men who critique movies with their thumbs. My point is, the entertainment section should, and is being used to cover all forms of entertainment. If you don't like it turn the page. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Joe DiBello UCO student

every six years the Calendar Committee rolls the schedule back. She said their failure to do that this year is the cause for lack of time for student activities. The committee also failed to include student representation, Thompson said. "I think sometimes they fail to think beyond academics," she said. Authors of the resolution said another good reason for the change is so that intersession courses would be held two consecutive weeks instead of one week before the new year and the other after the new year. An amendment to the resolution was proposed to observe Martin Luther King Jr. day. "This is a good idea because he (King) was such a great advocacy of equal rights in our country, I believe that UCO should observe that day," said Sen. Dale Archer. Sen. David Tackett asked authors of the amendment why they picked Martin Luther King Jr. Day instead of Columbus or any other figure in American History. Sen. Holley Mangham, author of the amendment, responded to the question. "Martin Luther King day is observed by other universities in the area and I believe it is an important day," she said. Some senators said that there is no need to observe the holiday. The amendment was defeated by a vote of 16 to 13. There are no black senators in SGA.

Student speaks out on religious values initially had no intention of responding to Jon Sellers' letter, recently published in The Vista. However, as I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that allowing such a letter to go without public contention would be a disservice not only to myself, but the public in general, as well as Mr. Sellers. I would like to start out by saying that I will not spend the balance of this letter examining the flaws in Mr. Sellers' biblical argument (that would take entire tomes), but rather in examining those points a bit more generalizable to the public, Christian and otherwise. So in response I have four points to make. First, I will concede that I do not homosexuals who use their sexual orientation as a way to gain publicity. I am also weary of homosexuals who blame every problem in their life on

discrimination. Life, as has been said ad nauseam, is not fair. On this, Mr. Sellers and I are in complete agreement. Second, I will also concede that the "plight" of the homosexual, as Mr. Sellers put it, is not the same as the plight of the Black person or the Native American. However, it is the same as the plight that forced thousands of Christians to flee Europe and seek sanctuary by settling here and eventually founding America. You see, when many people talk about homosexuality, they say it shouldn't be protected because it's a "choice." At the same time though, they fail to remember that their right to be a Christian or a Jew is a choice. Their right to be married is a choice. Their rights to bear arms and speak their minds are also choices. Contrary to popular opinion, America is not in the business of protecting

necessities (after all, there's no law against starving to death). America is in the business of protecting choices. It was formed to protect your choice to be a Christian. It was formed to protect your choice to have a gun in your house in order to protect the family that you chose to have. And yes, it was even formed to protect your right to "choose" to be a homosexual. Third, I find it profoundly disturbing that Mr. Sellers sees fascism as America's bright shining future. No matter how it starts, or who it starts by persecuting, fascism has been proven over and over again to eventually oppress everyone. One only needs to look at the former Soviet Union, at Communist China, or at Nazi Germany (to name a few modern examples} to find a clear pattern. In this

way, it is in Mr. Sellers best interest to try and protect homosexuality if for no other reason than to protect his own rights. Finally, Mr. Sellers is indeed being judgmental. Even though he says he isn't, his entire letter is nothing more than an implicit judgment leveled against homosexuals. I would remind Mr. Sellers that tolerance and compassion (the very things that he is arguing against) are the ultimate lessons of the New Testament and further advise Mr. Sellers to go back and read Matthew 7: 1-2. I might recommend some selfreflection and repentance at this point, but as always, that's a completely personal choice. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Andrew Buchanan UCO student

Seminars to focus on Pep rally to start NCAA playoffs broadcast education By Patrice Patterson Student Writer

By Jason A. Hill Student Writer UCO and the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters (OAB) are offering seminars Nov. 23 in the new Communications Building auditorium for professionals and students interested in news broadcasting . Mackie Morris will be the speaker at both seminars. Morris is the former chairman of the broadcast news department at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. Keith Swezey, assistant professor of communications, said these OAB workshops are designed for continuing education for broadcast professionals all over the state as well as students. The focus of the morning session for professionals is "How To Produce A Good Television Newscast." It will be held from 9:30 a.m.

to 12:30 p.m. The afternoon session for students, "News Writing In The `90's," will be from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Swezey said Morris will focus on accuracy and good writing. Unfortunately, writing skills aren't stressed enough, with less emphasis being placed on them in college, said Swezey. Morris is a well-known and respected news consultant who has conducted two previous seminars for the OAB, said Swezey. "He is very good (with an) interesting perspective." Registration is limited to 90, and the cost is $30 for professionals and $10 for students. For more information, contact Dr. Jack Deskin, professor of oral communication, at 3412980, Ext. 2584 or Swezey at Ext. 2792 .

Soccer field named in honor of UCO alumnus Former student donates funds to support athletic project

CO held ceremonies Nov. 16 dedicating the new soccer field in honor of an alumnus who helped fund the athletic project. Tom Thompson graduated from UCO in 1969 and has been actively involved with improving the university. "As an alumnus, he made a large donation to Campaign UCO to be designated toward the university's soccer program and the field, and provided more than 700 hours of pro bono financial planning for the university's ongoing, multi—million dollar Master Plan," said Dr. Ed Pugh, UCO executive assistant to the president. Coach Jalal Daneshfar said that the new field is a good size, making it now possible to host tournaments. "UCO's central location is a great place for a soccer field, and I predict soccer's fan base is going to surpass that of the other sports in the next couple of years," Thompson said. The new field on Ayers and Chowning, has been in use since September, hosting UCO men's and women's non—varsity practice and games. The soccer club appreciates Thompson's support. "With this outside help the club can do things we normally wouldn't be

UCO professor learns the craft of basket weaving By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

he Oklahoma Fall Arts Institute of beginning workshops gave one UCO professor the opportunity to learn a craft that's interested her for some time. Dr. Margaret Flansburg, professor of humanities and philosophy, attended the Cherokee basket weaving workshop at Quartz Mountain during the last weekend of October. Flansburg, who has attended two other workshops, said they were designed for teachers and professors to become immersed in the art field they chose so they could learn as much as possible. She decided to take the workshop because Mavis Doering, a renown weaver was teaching the class. Flansburg owns a few pieces made by Doering. Because of an illness, Doering missed the workshop. Sharon Harjo, a wellknown Kiowa basket weaver and student of Doering's, taught the workshop. Flansburg said since she teaches in the humanities program dealing with visual arts, music, literature and philosophy, she believes in the hands-on experience to learning. "That then feeds back into my classroom teaching and my ability to describe in a personal way what artists are doing and what it is like to produce crafts and music," Flansburg said. She admitted there was a lot of personal enrichment involved. "It's a wonderful chance to get away to an isolated area that's beautiful. Being isolated, it's not possible to go home for the night...it's an immersion in what you are doing," she said. Going to the workshops is a way to

"Once we got started all of us became obsessed with it," she said. "On Friday night I worked until 12:30 a.m. and on Saturday night I worked until 2:30 a.m...we just couldn't stop," she said. Most of the people wanted to get as many baskets done as possible so they worked harder. But a lot of it was the socialization seeing the work progressing fast and sharing ideas with the other people, she said. Flansburg said she is looking into more weaving classes and plans to research the Choctaw craft of the tribe she is descended from.

Law students learn about admissions process at expo By Patrice Patterson Student Writer

tudents traveled from colleges around the area to hear presentations and get tips from law school representatives from Oklahoma City University, the University of Oklahoma (OU), and South Texas College of Law. UCO's Pre-Law Club held "Law Expo," an information workshop for students interested in law, Nov. 16 at UCO. The law school admissions process has many factors that the pre-law undergraduate should understand. Katheleen Guzman, OU'S assistant professor of law, spoke about the process and gave tips on how best to succeed. At the undergraduate level, students should realize that there is no "right" major, Guzman said. Schools will relate your grades in consideration to your major. It is usually wise to choose a major in a field that you would want to pursue if you later decided against law, she said. After choosing a career in law, the first obstacle is the Law School Aptitude Test (LSAT). Guzman suggests taking it in June following the junior year of college. This allows time to prepare for the test after

You'll be making contacts in terms of future colleagues and resources, in terms of faculty, staff, and different people who come to speak at the law school. Those types of contacts can be invaluable. Katheleen Guzman OU's assistant professor of law —

the school year has convened and to also have the option of retesting during the senior year. Doing research on law schools to which you plan to apply is the next step, she said. It is important to gather information about different schools from sources such as college forums, career days and catalogs like the Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools. Guzman advises to limit your choice number of schools between 10 and 20. Guzman said it is a good idea to apply to two or three of your "dream schools"— four schools you think you have a 50/50 chance at—and two or three schools that are considered "safe schools"—schools where acceptance is the most easily attainable. It is important to have options, and to explore different target ranges, she said.

It is also important to consider attending a school at the location you most want to practice at after graduation from law school. "You'll be making contacts in terms of future colleagues and resources, in terms of faculty, staff, and different people who come to speak at the law school. Those types of contacts can be invaluable," Guzman said. Also research the reputation, atmosphere, cost, and general admission standards of the schools. She said the median grade point average of the institution and LSAT scores of the ,student body can tell about a school's reputation, the student body in general, and the chances of admission into that school. "Don't let your choices be limited by factors that you can actually control," Guzman said.

The admissions decisions normally come between June and December, with most in late spring, Guzman said. There are three responses an applicant can receive: accepted, denied and held. Just because a student hasn't heard from a particular school doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. A person can always call the institution about the status of admission, Guzman said. The financial aid information for law school is basically the same as for a university. However, if you do have financial aid as an undergraduate, the money continues from college. There are no new forms, the student just renews the application. Other topics discussed during the day were attending law school on a part-time basis, attending from a professor's perspective and attending from a student's perspective. This was the Pre-Law Club's first annual "Law Expo." Dan Lestina, president of the Pre-Law Society said, "The schools were glad to get a forum of students from all over the state and the students were pleased to have a chance to talk with the representatives."

Bronchos enter season with high expectations By Phil Long

Student Writer The UCO wrestling team should enter the 1996-97 season with big expectations entering the season ranked no. 2 in the nation. The team coached by David James has won four national championships in the `90s,and nine during his 14 year tenure. James has also been named

National Coach of the Year five times. James expects a great deal out of this squad with five key returnees in ten positions. "There is no substitution for experience," says James,but he feels that the other five guys will need to grow up quick. James says he stresses hard work from his squad and with hard work and alot of mat time the five who will fill the void should do a good job.

Bronchos try to cope with early adversity By Richard Tortorelli

, Sports Writer

Central Oklahoma senior Mack Tuck will try to pick up the slack for UCO after the loss of Tyrone Hopkins. (Staff photo by John Clanton)

The Central Oklahoma men's basketball team must cope with the loss of senior forward Tyrone Hopkins as the Bronchos enter the new season tonight against Texas College in Hamilton Field House. Hopkins suffered a torn ligament in his elbow during the Bronchos' first exhibition game Nov. 4. The NCAA Division II All-American shared the Lone Star Conference Player of the Year award with two others. He could return to play in three to six weeks, but UCO men's basketball coach Jim Seward said the team will have to play without the 23.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game he contributed last year. While Seward said he was pleased with the team's play without Hopkins, the Bronchos have to compensate for his

rebounding in particular. "In a way, this could be a little bit of a blessing to see that our kids don't rely on a Tyrone Hopkins," said Seward, who enters his ninth season at UCO with a 162-98 coaching record. Seward said this team looks like a good team on paper. "We think we have a lot of balance and some reasonable depth. We've got a lot of versatility among our players." This year's Bronchos will feature seven new players. Senior forward Mack Tuck comes to UCO from the NCAA I ranks, averaging 17.1 points and 5.4 rebounds a game for Colorado last year. Meanwhile, junior center Ronnie Lane has averaged 23.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in two exhibition games. Junior guards Patrick Fisher and Joe Newton have each added 18.5 points. Seward said guards Londaryl Perry and David Factor, both

Experienced Lady Broncho squad looks forward to new season with newcomers By Darrell Weidner Student Writer

With the return of the team's experienced starters and the two recent acquisitions, the Lady Bronchos are looking forward to a great season, said head coach John Keely. The team has several returning starters that have gained in experience over the last few years. Junior forward Mandy Carlson is returning with a 12.9 scoring average and with 4.3 rebounds a game. She earned honorable mention in the AllLone Star Conference last season. Another returning junior, Christy Heavin is returning at forward. She returns with a scoring average of 12.1 points a

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL game, while averaging a teamhigh of 7.7 rebounds. Heavin also received honorable mention in the All-LSC. Last year's Lone Star Conference freshman of the year, Mary Rhodes, is returning to play guard. She averaged 12 points a game. She landed 67 3pointers. Senior Angela Flynn is returning at center for the Lady Bronchos. Flynn averaged 9.4 points a game last year. Two part-time starters are also returning to the squad. Senior Christy Bailey, who will see action in three positions, averaged 7.3 points and 3.4 rebounds last year.

UCO Head Women's Basketball Coach Kelly Seikel, a sophomore, averaged 9.8 points and 3.9 assists a game. -Sophomore center Alisha Hall isr/s6ritturning. She played in all 27 games last year and scored four points a game. "The returning players are coming into the season strong and experienced," said Keely. "We have also been able to get Courtney Berry from SNU (Southern Nazarene University)," Keely said, "...we are looking for great things." The Lady Bronchos are sixth

in the pre-season poll voting by the conference coaches. "But this was before we had Courtney and Arwin (Schneider)." Schneider just finished volleyball and will play guard. The Lady Bronchos finished last season with a record of 1017 to finish seventh in the conference. With the experience of the returning starters and the talent of the newcomers the Lady Bronchos may end this season in the top three or four teams in conference, Keely said. Central Oklahoma will open the season against Central Arkansas on Nov. 22 and Cameron on Nov. 23. "Both of these teams should be a real test of what we can do," Keely said.

returning starters, must help the new players adjust to the Bronchos' style of play. "Those two must show their experience and knowledge of our system early," he said. UCO is ranked 19th in the preseason NCAA II basketball poll. Conference officials picked UCO to win the LSC title. Seward said the team must draw motivation from the high ranking observers have given UCO. "I'm hoping (the team) realizes there are expectations. I don't mean to put pressure on them, but I hope it gives them confidence." The Bronchos went 19-10 and finished runner-up in the conference tournament to Texas A&M-Kingsville. Seward said he was disappointed to see the Bronchos miss out on the 48-team national tournament last year. "We were definitely one of the top six in our region," he said. UCO comes off its fourth straight year of leading NCAA II in scoring. Seward said the Bronchos take pride in scoring the most points and also winning. Seward said he'd like to win 20 games, but seeing his team reach their potential is another goal of his. "I hope we reach our potential. When we do that, a lot of times those things take care of themselves."

Passionate movie, Stone inspire and entertain

any critics believe, that when it comes to Academy Award winning performances, Tom Cruises portrayal as Ron Kovic in Oliver Stones passionate antiwar statement, Born On The Fourth Of July is nothing short of sheer brilliance. A film like Born on the Fourth of July is a simple apology for Vietnam shown through the directional views of Stone. It's obvious with the help from Platoon, three years earlier, the Vietnam War era proved extremely personal toward Stone Kovic and Stone were gungho patriots who were eager to answer their country's call to arms. On the return back home, they were still patriots, only hurt and offended by the bombardment of hostility they endured from the antiwar movement. Eventually, both men turned against the war, Kovic most dramatically. Kovic came back from the war with a shattered body, but it took some time for the damage to spread to his mind and spirit.

:)i

By the time he hit bottom, he had become an unethical, bitter man who found his own freedom in boozeand drugs in Mexican whore houses, wow, what a story! The movie begins in the early 1960s. Young Ron Kovic, admiring Kennedy speeches and waiting intensely for marine recruiters to come visit his high school, knew there was a war in Vietnam. But his only worry, was that he would miss the action. He also knew the dangers of being wounded or killed, but he wanted to make a difference and even a sacrifice for his country. The transition Cruise made from battlefield to broken hearted Veteran of Vietnam was inspiring as well as simple entertainment. One scene that defines Cruise's realism from the confusion of the war was him returning as a hero for a fourth of July parade. That night, he gets drunk with a fellow veteran and finds they can talk about things nobody else really understands. This scene that the maximum

power of the Cruise performance truly develops. Although this film has huge amounts of pain, bloodshed and suffering, it's not a movie about battle wounds or recovery but a movie about a foolish American who simply changes his mind about the war. Born on the Fourth of July is a movie all mature audiences should watch. Maybe instead of anybody apologizing for the Vietnam War, they could simply hold a screening of this movie and call it a day.

Mommy's little girl... Parent-in-training experiment not for the faint of heart By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

he crying, red-faced, breathcatching, lip-quivering wailing seemed to never stop. It was coming in a steady stream. It was coming closer. It was coming from behind my 17year-old daughter's closed door. I pretty much have a hands-off policy when it comes to my kids and their homework. Actually, I occasionally have the same approach to my homework. As a "people pleaser" I have a deathly fear of failure. For us "people pleasers," to put a pen to paper is a risky thing. Even a simple yes or no is hard. What if we're wrong? What if we're right and then people expect us to always be right? We have a million good reasons to put off a difficult task. The weeping from Lisa's room dribbled down the hall, filling my ears, piercing my heart. The stuff they teach high school seniors these days is not for the faint-hearted. Despite my policy, when the crying didn't stop, I decided to make an exception. I was standing in the hall biting my fist when she flung the door open. "Mommy, help me," she cried. Understand that this is from the child who refuses to let me go into the doctor's office with her. She cooks 90 percent of her own meals and won't let me drive her to work come hail or high-water. What was it that prompted Little Miss Independent to ask her mother for help? English? chemistry? geography or (shudder) math? No, it was a doll. Part of her reality-based curriculum in child care class was to take total responsibility for a computerized baby doll for 24 hours: As in real life, instructions for the project were sketchy. The "baby" would cry if not held upright. The baby would cry if it heard loud noises. Points were subtracted from the grade every time the baby cried. Worst of all, the student failed if he or she put the baby down. The parental wrist was attached to the wrist of the brat by an electrode laced thread. At the moment, Lisa's baby was screeching as if she were beating it or disconnecting the telephone or some other form of child abuse. "Here," I said. "Let me hold her for a while. You look like you could use a break." "No! I'm the only one who can hold

her. You'll break the cord," answered While reflecting that the exercise could Lisa, pointing to the electronic umbilical serve double duty as a sex education toy, I cord.

gasping -wheezing' season By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

old and flu season has arrived and classrooms are full of coughingsneezing-gasping-and-wheezing

students. While some compassionate souls offer their suffering colleagues Kleenex and sympathy, others may be more inclined to shout across the room, "Go home! You're making me sick." The demand may sound cold-hearted but the fact is students that come to class sick are infecting their classmates. College campuses are a great breeding ground for the flu and other viruses, said Karen Barnes, registered nurse and assistant professor of nursing. "Students come to school sick because they don't want to miss class," she said, explaining that they don't want their grades to suffer from unexcused absences. Barnes said one of the biggest contributors to the spread of the viruses is technically referred to as a fomite. Though it sounds ominous, she said a fomite is simply any inanimate object where an organism rests—waiting for someone to pick it up. Door knobs, stair rails, water fountains and computer keyboards are fomites commonly found at schools. While it is impossible to avoid picking up germs from a fomite, there are precautions people can take that will keep the germs from entering their bodies. Labetta Wallenmeyer, registered nurse and director of UCO's Student Health Center, said the best precaution is hand washing. "Wash your hands before touching your face in any way," she said. Viruses infect the human system by entering through the mouth, nose or eyes. By touching a germ-laden door knob then rubbing your eyes, you can introduce any number of viruses into your system, she said. Both Wallenmeyer and Barnes advocate preventative measures that go beyond simple hand washing. They encourage - students to dry their hands with a paper towel before turning off the water faucet. Then, using the towel as a shield, turn off the faucet and open the door.

While people can't walk around in a sterile bubble during flu season, there are some simple measures of protection that can decrease their chances of catching the dreaded 'bug.'

• Hand washing •

Washing germs down the drain assures that they never get a chance to enter your system. Wash hands often with soap and water.

• Disinfectants

(Staff photo by Lacy Amen) Wallenmeyer said the method will break the cycle of germ spreading but it isn't foolproof. "It won't guarantee you won't get sick, but it will help." Viruses are also spread by droplets floating in the air, said Barnes. Individuals can inhale germs that linger after someone has sneezed. Once someone contracts the flu or other virus, Wallenmeyer said there is nothing they can do to cure the illness. She recommends bed rest and lots of fluids to ease the viral symptoms that can include fever, a sore throat and coughing. The nurses emphasized the importance of staying home during the fever stages of an illness. "That is when you are most contagious," said Barnes "If you are really sick, don't go to class," stressed Wallenmeyer. "Class is the perfect environment for spreading it around."

The germs that cause the flu and the common cold can live for a short time on inanimate objects. Shared workspaces and equipment are prime areas to pick up viruses. Dr. Riaz Ahmad, professor of biology, said the telephone is a particularly "nasty" culprit when it comes to spreading germs. Wiping the phone, especially the mouthpiece, with a paper towel dampened with a disinfectant spray will kill the viruses, he said. Mark Quigley, a computer service technician, said computer keyboards can be cleaned using the same method, though he emphasized that nothing should ever be sprayed directly on the keyboard.

• Avoid food sharing Any contact with the saliva of an infected person almost guarantees the transmission of germs, said Ahmad, so be cautious about sharing food and drinks.

• Avoid personal contact Germs spread easily between people. A handshake or other close contact with an infected person is an opportunity for viruses to spread. Ahmad stressed that kissing an infected person is a quick way to catch a cold or the flu.

• Cleanliness Any food preparation area should be kept clean and uncluttered to insure that cups, plates and utensils aren't contaminated. Some workplaces use disposable dishes to reduce the risk of spreading viruses among employees. "Any cleanliness is beneficial," said Ahmad. In —By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

Georgetown offers summer internships By Bryan Terry Student Writer The Fund for American Studies is looking for student leaders to take part in summer internships and earn college credits on the campus of Georgetown University this summer. Students will take part in one of three

7-week programs: the Engalitcheff Institute on Comparative Political and Economic Systems, the Institute on Political Journalism, or the Bryce Harlow Institute on Business and Government Affairs. Evening dialogues, lectures and opportunities to meet with national and international leaders are also offered.

Elizabeth Semanick, a political science student from the University of Virginia, attended one of the institutes programs. "Throughout the summer, we engaged in many heated debates, forcing us to hone our communication skills and define our beliefs," Semanick said. "Most of all, we have found a greater respect for each other's ideals, and the passion with which

we defend these value systems." Students wanting to participate must be undergraduates with two semesters of study at an accredited college or university, and submit an application by March 15, for the program starting June 7. For more information, call The Fund for American Studies at 1-800-741964.

Regents to study improving education in Oklahoma

wenty-nine Oklahomans were recently named to serve on a new citizens' commission to work with the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education in starting a year-long planning process to improve higher education throughout the state schools. The commission is chaired by Bill Burgess Jr., a State Regent from Lawton.

"We're looking for fresh perspectives and new ideas that address the challenges facing higher education, and as a result, the state, itself," he said. Burgess said the commission meetings will be open to the public and information from anyone is welcome. Burgess also said the commission will address five strategic questions: quality,

access, efficiency, accountability, and funding. "The State Regents' mission is to create a world-class system of higher education that prepares students for success," said State Regents' Chancellor Hans Brisch. Brisch also said that the Regents' are looking to the citizens commission for

help identifying what needs to be done to boost the quality of higher education in Oklahoma . For more information about the time and place of upcoming meetings, contact Jeanie Edney at 524-9180. —By Bryan Terry Student Writer
