Self defense seminar held at UCO Students have opportunity to learn how to avoid being victimized By Sheila Nunnelee

Staff Writer parking lot is dark as she walks alone to her car. She stands at her alone car door digging in her purse for her keys, and then gets into the driver's seat without a single thought. If this scenario is familiar to the female students on campus, perhaps they should have attended the self-defense seminar last Thursday night. "Taking simple precautions are the keys to protecting yourself," said Matt Niles, a firstdegree black belt and Hwa Rang Do instructor who led the seminar. Niles, a student and cadet in ROTC at OSU, has trained for eight years. "You need to be aware of your surroundings," said Niles. "The more you think about it and prepare, the better the situation will be," said Niles. Niles was outraged by the self-defense techniques recommended for women by law enforcement. After doing research, he put together a packet of tips for women that he thought was more realistic. "I wanted to teach something that they can pick up easily," said Niles. Sarah Borton, Niles' girlfriend who assisted in the demonstration of the techniques, said that these steps are common sense. "You don't have to be strong. If you know these simple things they can save you," Borton said. Niles recommends a change in lifestyle to prevent criminals from making a victim of students. "There is safety in numbers, and if you feel in danger, don't hesitate to ask for help," said Niles.

s finals lurk around the corner of next week, students' test anxiety grows exponentially, and faculty's ambivalent grading attitudes only serve to increase that frustration. The dual dilemma of faculty and students reaches crisis time beginning Dec. 12. The kernel of the problem is illustrated earlier in the semester around midterm grades. In many colleges, professors blanket students' grades with "C's," impervious to scholarships or grade-points or personal feelings, to give students an upstart eye-opener, or just because they don't care to open lesson books. Others claim they are "too busy" to look, thereby justifying eyeballing a grade. Other times, professors grade laxly, either because they want to prove they are good professors for tenure or doctorate reasons, or because they have too many students to have time to look at assignments. The cavalier attitude by some professors regarding grading has a demoralizing effect on students. When the professors don't care enough to give a midterm grade that's correct and an accurate representation of where the student is in that course at that time, the student's attitudes erode also. The flip side of professors cheating us with poorly conceived grading is students cheating on tests. A philosophy professor stopped a recent test to admonish a number of students afflicted with roving eyes that it was "just a test," and the consequences of cheating just weren't worth it. Cheating robs students of the important thing they came to college for—learning. When it comes to getting a good education, universities hold the key. And in many professions, a college degree is what a high school degree used to be. But the education is the important element—not the piece of paper. And cheating in any degree hurts the person whose goal should be to learn. A

Holidays have lost ASQC presents books, meaning, writer says begins hopeful 'tradition' By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

ere it comes again, the holiday season. That time of revelry, that time when the suicide rate soars, and crime sprees and shopping sprees race neck and neck to see which will takes in the most cash. It's time to put up those Christmas lights, listen to relations fight and gracefully accept what is so grudgingly given. Sometimes it seems that the only way to insure a gift's acceptability is to go into debt buying it. (Besides, what's love got to do with it?)

Column Christmas is no longer a holiday of religion, no longer a time of fellowship. Instead it is a time of extravagant sales and whining kids with snotty noses stocking up on batteries. Thanksgiving no longer exists as a holiday by itself. It has become a dress rehearsal for Christmas. Perhaps the only piece of tradition left to its innocence is the soft white snow which occasionally falls just in

time for Christmas. Not so long ago, perhaps not too far away, Thanksgiving and Christmas meant something more than a mandatory gift exchange and casual gluttony. The holidays were a time of joy, and dare I say it, brotherly love. Christmas is following in the footsteps of the religion it is most often associated with, it has become modern, bent and twisted to society's current themes. Christmas has become a time to capitalize on sentiments, and those sentiments are steadily being discarded in favor of cynicism. It was almost fitting that as the commercials for political campaigns disappeared from the television, a merry old elf beseeches the shoppers to buy in spite of themselvesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but at least the elf gets a good turnout. Still, this is the holiday season, and even if we don't seem to care for it much, at least it gives the younger, and sometimes older, children an unparalleled chance to beg for goodies, and in most cases they receive to some extent what they ask for. Happy Thanksgiving, and a Merry Christmas, even if they aren't.

By Jennifer Fox Student Writer The UCO Chapter of the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) presented books for donation to the Chambers Library on Nov. 15. The ASQC is the first student organization to donate books to the library and hope to turn it into a tradition for each semester, said Dale Gladish, ViceChair of the ASQC Student Chapter. The donation is part of an effort to enhance quality awareness among UCO students. The books are dedicated to all students to assist in helping support the University's mission and curriculum. "It's our club's mission to promote quality awareness enhanced by philosophies and practices that will help to build a continuous improvement tradition within the UCO organization,"Gladish said. The books are: The Deming Route To Quality: Road Maps and Roadblocks by William Scherkenbach, Quality Improvement Handbook for Health Care Professionals by J. Mozena and D.L. Anderson, The New Economics for Industry, Government, Education by W. Edward Deming, Incredibly American:

By Jennifer Sanders Student Writer Students may not be aware that they have the opportunity to take courses and earn college credit between semesters. UCO is offering classes during the period between fall and spring semester, a period known as Intersession. Eighteen of the classes offered are for college credit. Classes begin Jan. 2 and end Jan. 13. But UCO is not the only one offering Intersession. The University of Oklahoma is offering more than 60 Intersession classes Dec. 19 through Jan. 14. To be eligible for Intersession at OU, students must first be admitted to OU. Students can take classes offered during Intersession to graduate early, said Leslie Freud, program director of Intersession at OU. "Intersession is ideal for the student that could not fit a needed course in during their regular schedule," Freud said. Some examples of the courses being offered through UCO, include Love: Its Evolution and Biology, Urban Violence, and Reinventing Government. For information regarding Intersession at UCO, call 3412980, Ext. 2770. For information on Intersession at OU, call 3252899.

SAFETY continued from front page •If followed, go to a well-lighted, public area, to the police or fire station, NOT HOME! •If your car breaks down, lift your hood, get inside and wait for help. Keep an index card with a quarter taped to it with emergency phone numbers to give to someone who might offer assistance, and just roll the window far enough to slip the card through. •When parking, stay near lighted areas. Check around you for anything suspicious before leaving your car. If necessary, park elsewhere.

INDOOR TIPS •Avoid elevators with suspicious strangers. If you must ride, stand close to the control panel. Avoid stairwells and public restrooms. •If possible, lock your office or dorm door while alone. •If you live alone don't advertise it. Use only your initials and last name on your mail box and phone listing, or ask the phone company not to print your address. •If strangers telephone or come to your door don't admit that you are alone. Don't give strangers information about who is home or about your neighbors. •If a stranger asks to use your phone in an emergency, offer to make the call yourself. Ask them to wait outside while you make the call. Don't be fooled by a woman - she could be a decoy with her male partner hiding in the bushes or doorway until she gains entry. 'If you live in an apartment, avoid being in the laundry room or garage by yourself, especially at

night. Tell your landlord if security improvements are needed, such as better lighting, stronger locks, peep holes in the door and night security guards. 'If you come home and find a door or window open or signs of forced entry, don't go in. Go to the nearest phone and call the police or sheriff. •Secure home as well as possible and form a plan for escape or defense if that security is breached. 'Lock all doors and windows at home. •Keep timers set to turn lamps and radios on and off automatically. 'Install peep holes to determine who is at your door. Don't depend on chain locks for safety. Determine identity of a visitor before opening the door. 'Check sales and service representatives by calling their companies. Even uniformed police officers have a commission card signed by their police chief, and deputies have one signed by the sheriff. ' Keep your garage door locked. It can provide easy access to your home. 'Keep all entrances well lit. ' Don't hide a key outside. •Hang up immediately on obscene calls. •Know your neighbors. Be aware of those you can trust in an emergency. Keep bushes and shrubbery trimmed. Be aware of potential hiding places and avoid them. •If there is a burglar inside your house, get out and then call 911. If there is no way out, turn on all the lights and make a lot of noise.

All special ed courses 'accidentally omitted from spring daytime line-up By Deanna McMahan Student Writer

"The cause was human error. It was inadvertent," said Dr. Douglas C. Sprung, dean of curriculum and instruction about the omission of daytime special education courses. This spring semester most of the special education classes were offered only at night. "It will be remedied next semester," said Sprung. "The special education department will accommodate students by adding a section if there is sufficient demand," said Sprung. Dr. Darwin E. Waterman, professor of special education and initiator of the 1994 spring schedule, said, "This problem is not new; it has come up before." Special education classes have their schedules made up to one year in advance.

Most classes are on a "rotation sequence," meaning they are offered at least one time in the day semester, and one time at night the next semester. This rotation does not apply to the summer semester. Many special education classes are scheduled permanently at night due to low enrollment, said Waterman. The majority of students who are special education majors work in the field during the day and can attend only at night so the schedule is set up to accommodate them," said Waterman. "I made a mistake and I will be happy to meet with and make accommodations with those students affected adversely by this schedule. Schools are to accommodate students and we will make changes," Waterman said. Stephanie Driver, academic

advisor for special education majors, is keenly aware of the night scheduling problems encountered by special education majors trying to enroll for spring classes. "I have sent over practically every special education student who comes in here with a scheduling problem because I can't do anything," Driver said. More than 20 students have been refered to Sprung's office, said Driver. "Students have problems with night classes for a variety of reasons, such as transportation, day care, jobs, and other conflicts," Driver said. Marilyn Kerr, Special Education major, said she has neither the money nor the support system to provide adequate child care for her two children so she may attend night classes.

Alumni recognize students 'after dark' By Sherrey Crabtree Student Writer

If you're working all day and taking night classes, then UCO's Alumni Association would like to recognize you at "Alumni After Dark" 6-8:30 p.m. Nov. 28 through Dec. 1. Alumni board members will inform students about the activities and services of the UCO Alumni Association. "We feel that most of the

activities accommodate day students and we needed something to accommodate night students," said Heather Nakonezny, coordinator of alumni special events. Donna Peters, university alumni director, said those taking evening classes comprise over half of UCO's student population. "One of the most often repeated compliments paid to UCO by its alumni is that a degree can often be obtained by attending evening

classes," Peters said. The events will be held: Nov. 28 in the Business Administration Building; Nov. 29 in Old North, Nov. 30 in Liberal Arts and Dec. 1 in the Library. Hot beverages and refreshments will be served by members of the UCO Alumni Association Board of Directors during "Alumni After Dark."

Researchers discover new element BERLIN (AP) — Scientists in Germany have discovered a new element, bringing to 110 the number of basic substances known to make up the earth. The element was detected Nov. 9 during the bombardment of lead atoms with nickel atoms in the accelerator at the Heavy Ion Research Center in Darmstadt in southern Germany. Announcing the discovery late Thursday, the center said a dozen scientists from research centers in Russia, Slovakia and Finland collaborated in discovering the new element, which does not yet have a name. The research was led by Peter Armbruster, a German physicist who is credited with discovering three other new elements at the center between 1981 and 1984. Elements are substances that cannot be separated into other substances by ordinary chemical means. The latest — and heaviest with an atomic weight of 269 — existed only a fraction of a thousandth of a second.

Bobbitt cut off at Canadian border TORONTO (AP) — John Bobbitt is not welcome in Canada. Wednesday's announcement by immigration authorities put a halt to Bobbitt's plans to appear at a strip club next week to promote a porn flick in which he stars. Immigration Department spokesman Kevin Sack said Bobbitt was being denied entry because he had been convicted of domestic assault in the United States. Bobbitt became a household name last year when his penis had to be reattached after his ex-wife Lorena chopped it off. He served 15 days in jail this year for hitting his former fiancee, Kristina Elliott. Bobbitt had planned to appear at Charlie T's strip club in the Toronto suburb of North York with porn star Tiffany Lords to promote their film, -John Wayne Bobbitt: Uncut."

Drug found to help curb smoking WASHINGTON (AP) — A chemical from a common blue flower or a popular antidepressant might one day help hard-core smokers kick the habit — without resorting to nicotine patches or gum. Preliminary tests indicate the antidepressant Wellbutrin and the chemical lobeline, extracted from the lobelia flower, might help smokers toss their cigarettes away with milder withdrawal symptoms. One experiment even suggests Wellbutrin may be twice as effective as nicotine patches for some smokers. Nobody knows for sure how either drug works. But Wellbutrin is believed to stimulate dopamine, a brain chemical involved with addiction, by causing the feel-good response to such drugs as nicotine. Lobeline, which once was standard therapy for stimulating breathing in sick newborns, may block the brain's nicotine receptors.

Ship revolutionizes cargo transfers YOKOSUKA, Japan (AP) — For decades, Japanese entrepreneurs have profited from making things smaller. Now a Japanese shipbuilders' consortium is betting that bigger is better. A prototype of the Techno-Superliner, a cargo ship that can travel like a hovercraft over long distances at nearly 62 miles an hour, was unveiled Thursday by Tsuneo Yoshiki of Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding Co. At 230 feet, the prototype is only half as long as the planned final product. The ship is designed to skim over the ocean surface on a cushion of air created underneath it by lift fans in its hull. Similar high-speed transport craft projects are under way in the United States, Europe, Scandinavia, South Korea and Australia. Yoshiki said the Japanese consortium is the first to produce an air-cushion prototype of such length.

Weather closings are Nigh's call to make, says assistant By Travis K. Voth

Student Writer With the nature of nature in Oklahoma, especially as winter approaches, weather conditions can change drastically in short periods of time. When the weather does turn bad, the decision to cancel classes rests with President George Nigh, said Kati Schmidt, assistant to the president. Nigh consults with campus police before making a final decision, though. No specific conditions warrant cancelling classes, but each decision is based on the current situation, Schmidt said. In addition, the decision to

cancel classes is not based on what local public schools do, she said. Nigh decides by 6 a.m. whether to cancel day classes and by 4 p.m. for evening classes, she said. Local radio and television stations are notified immediately. Schmidt also said that students should not call UCO to ask if classes have been canceled because university personnel often are not aware of class cancellations until after the media has been informed. She said classes are rarely canceled for several reasons: First, most UCO students are commuters. If they do not get

the message that classes have been canceled, they would make an unnecessary trip to campus. Second, a sizable portion of the student body lives on campus and does not worry about travel conditions. Finally, the Board of Regents mandates that a certain number of day classes must be held. If these days are canceled due to bad weather, they must be made up, Schmidt said. Cancellation of classes is so rare that in the three years under Nigh's administration, classes have been canceled only three times. In the 17 years prior to that, classes were canceled only three times, Schmidt said.

Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan. In the international business market today, Marshall-Chapman urges those looking for jobs and those with jobs to think globally. She strongly suggested learning another language to be competitive on an international level. "It is frustrating and humiliating to conduct business deals in China through a translator," she said. "And it is dismal to me that we have been so arrogant that we have made everyone in the world learn our language." Marshall-Chapman said she plans to enroll in Mandarin Chinese at Tulsa Junior College next semester, one year after receiving her Ph.D. Marshall-Chapman warned prospective employees to keep up with the fast pace of changing technology by committing themselves to life-long learning. "We live in an exciting, fastpaced, fast-growing world and it's exhilarating," she said. "But it's also scary. And the only anchor we'll have in the future is our education base and the knowledge and ability we have to stay open-minded and learn new things."

Matmen place 9 at NebraskaOmaha

Lady Bonchos' title bid falls short Central Missouri State ousts UCO; Spikers end stellar season at 32-5 Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

The Central Oklahoma wrestlers turned in a mid-season like performance at the NebraskaOmaha Open last Saturday, placing nine wrestlers at the tournament. Senior Mike Keim was named Outstanding Wrestler of the Open. Keim took first place at 134 pinning Nebraska-Omaha's Jason Reitmeier, 3:45. At 142, junior Jerry Best won the individual title, defeating Minnesota's Jeff Thompson 4-3. The Bronchos only third place winner was Kyle Vandruff who won a 3-1 decision over Ben Burton of Northern Iowa. Keith Kizarr (118) was pinned in the the consolation finals by Brad Canoyer of N. Iowa. Also placing for UCO were Mark Cunningham, fifth 158, Chad Beeson, sixth 167, Chris Griffin, sixth 177. In the freshman-sophomore division Matt Goodson took first at 126 and Mike Strassle took second at 190. Next, UCO heads to the Las Vegas Invitational.

The Lady Broncho's Cinderella season came to an end Saturday. UCO fell to Central Missouri State in the final round of the South Central Regional, 12-15, 10-15, 15-13, 11-15. The four game loss ended the team's school record 11 match win streak and the best season ever, finishing 32-5 and 14-0 at Hamilton Field House. UCO fell behind in game one, but quickly rallied to take an 8-5 lead on a Julie Kelley kill. CMSU tied the score at 10 before surpassing the Lady Bronchos, 14-10. UCO scored two more points before falling 12-15. The Jennies surged out to a 4-0 lead in game two allowing UCO to score only once before improving the lead to 8-1. The Lady Bronchos then fell behind 13-3 before coming back behind three Jennies errors and a trio of blocks by Amy Hansen, Kate O'Neill and Angie Schoof. 13-10 was as close as UCO would get though, as CMSU put the game away, 15-10.

The third game was all UCO, as the Lady Bronchos took the lead at 5-4 and never relinquished it. CMSU tried to come back, but Carrie Hare put the game in the book with a service ace. UCO jumped out to an 8-3 lead in game four and looked to force a fifth game. Central Missouri fought back to an 8-8 tie before grabbing the lead and sending UCO home, 15-11. "It was a great match and I think we proved that we can compete with anybody in this region," Head Coach Mark Herrin said. "I thought we played pretty well, but they were just a little better than us." Hare,who had 13 kills and Kelley, who led the team with 23 kills and 22 digs were named to the all-tournament team. "It's a disappointing loss, but we had a great season and really gave the program a big boost," said Herrin. "Back in August I don't think too many of us thought we would be in this position, so I'm proud of what these girls and this team accomplished," Herrin said. "The kids gave great effort and battled all the way and that's all you can ask."

UCO downs Russians in overtime, 122-121 By Jimmy Hyde

Though the Central Oklahoma Broncos are favored to win the Lone Star Conference title this season, in an exhibition game Wednesday night against the Samara Club Team they hardly played like it. UCO trailed the Russian AllStar team by as much as 11 points in the second half. The Bronchos battled back to win the game in overtime 122-121 thanks to some last second heroics by guards Zoderick Green and Edward King. Down by three with .03 on the clock, UCO forward Junie Sanders stole a Samara pass and fed the ball to Green who fired off a perfect three-pointer from 24 feet sending the game into OT.

In OT, Samara took the lead 121-120 with nine seconds left. Green tried to repeat his performance of five minutes earlier but missed the trey. King got the rebound and tossed up a baseline shot at the buzzer to give the Bronchos the victory. "I'm happy with the fact that they showed a little heart and hung in there and finally got it done," said Head Coach Jim Seward. "We really didn't play with a purpose until we had to." Down 57-51 at the half, UCO never came alive until the last minute of the game. UCO never led in the second half despite out scoring the Samara team 61-55. The Bronchos were out rebounded 57-50. To UCO's credit, the Samara team had a definite height advantage with two players at 7-0 and several between 6-7 and 6-10.

NIRVANA

ith this release, many will cry sellout and accuse DGC of capitalizing on the death of Kurt Cobain, but this record was in the works before Cobain's suicide. In the wake of Cobain's demise, this record takes on a haunting quality with Nirvana stripped of their brashness—leaving just acoustic guitars, cello, drums and Cobain's voice, which incidentally, never sounded better. Every song but "Come As You Are" works in this format. This might be what the next Nirvana record would have sounded like as Cobain wanted to explore this avenue. Long time Eugene Kelly fans, the band finally recorded Kelly's classic from his Vaselines career, "Jesus Doesn't Want Me For a Sunbeam." Nirvana opened its Dallas show with this in 1991. The band also covers Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World" on Unplugged from Bowie's 1972 classic of the same title. One of the highlights of Unplugged is the band's reading of Ledbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." Incidentally, in 1990 Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic backed Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan on the song for his debut solo album. The Nirvana songs represent all three of the band's releases, but the most impressive part of the record is when the band is joined by the Kirkwood brothers of the Meat Puppets. Nirvana and the 'pups tear through three Meat Puppets chestnuts from the early `80s. These three songs plus the other covers make this worth your purchase alone. (DGC)

n light of Toby Keith's second release Boomtown, it is really hard to get past the vision of him singing that TV 9 theme song. If you haven't seen the spot, consider yourself lucky. Born in Clinton, Keith got a late start in the music business. Keith spent his pre-stardom days working on oil rigs and playing semi-pro football. When the oil boom went bust, he decided to concentrate on his music. Keith's music is your present day Nashville fare, overproduced songs with that annoying Van Halen drum sound. It is difficult to tell Keith from the hordes of other country mega stars out these days, but what Keith lacks in originality he makes up for in sincerity. In fact, Keith doesn't sound that country. He is more of a country-pop hybrid. Toby Keith should be given credit for not totally relying on outside writers, he penned over half of Boomtown himself or with a cowriter. Keith delivers the songs in a husky voice that works best on the album's ballads. The themes on Boomtown are typical of the genre: love gone bad, divorce and the like. Boomtown is not without its moments. The lead off single, "Who's That Man," is a good lyric about a divorce. On the song, Keith turns in his most powerful performance of the record. "In Other Words" is another song which showcases his vocals. The record will probably not appeal to fans of the old school of country, but it is a country radio programmers dream. (Polydor)

tune. In fact, the whole record would be pop

if not for Comeaux's voice and the pedal steel guitar. The record continues "Moving Out's" pop direction with only "I Heard It From My Heart," a fast-paced honky tonk number, standing out from the other songs. Moving Out is boring, offering nothing to the listener. At times Comeaux is able to successfully duplicate the emotions of the songs she chose to record. As great of a singer as she is, it is not enough to carry the record. A lot of people in the world can sing, even my mom can sing well — but she doesn't have a record contract. This record lacks substance and energy. The future of females in country music looks very bleak with the exception of Comeaux's label mate Chelly Wright and Iris DeMent. (Polydor)

ttention: anyone who can sing well but has no songwriting abiliy—Nashville is presently offering contracts. Arnie Comeaux represents everything that is wrong with country music right now. Comeaux has spent a lot of time playing at J.C. Penney, does anyone remember Tiffany? Now that Tiffany is gone, Comeaux's only competition is Blossom's Joey Lawrence. Comeaux, a 17-year-old singer from Louisiana, is producer Harold Shedd's latest discovery. For her age, she has a very impressive voice that is mature way beyond her years. Check out the song "You Belong To Me." She can definitely sing but can she write a song? 1207 West Edmond Road 348-9410 Obviously not, because Cordially Invites UCO Students and not one of the Faculty To All Worship Services songs on her Sunday School 9:45 AM debut bears Morning Worship 10:45 AM her name.

Teacher follows 'paper trail' to success By Iris Knight Student Writer ver marble floors, past the sculpture "End of the Trail" by James Fraser, beyond numerous western oil paintings and down the narrow carpeted hallway of the administrative offices at the Cowboy Hall of Fame labors a sophisticated and petite woman. M.J. Van Deventer, director of publications and editor of the magazine Persimmon Hill, eases her slight frame into an office side-chair in preparation for an interview. Undaunted by the drawerfuls of manuscripts at her side, she welcomes the break in her routine. This time, however, Van Deventer is not the one asking questions. This time, someone wants. to know how a woman from Muskogee comes to serve both as an adjunct teacher of journalism at UCO and work at the Cowboy Hall of Fame. "It's really all I ever wanted to do from the time I could just barely read," said Van Deventer. "That's all I ever wanted to be was a writer."

Determined to succeed Clf y age seven, Van PIO Deventer demonstrated signs of independence and imagination, and she's been busy ever since. She started her adventure in writing by publishing her own weekly newspaper. "I was determined," said Van Deventer. "I was determined to have a neighborhood newspaper." Supportive parents purchased a modest printing press for $8 and encouraged her to canvas the neighborhood for news behind the average doors in the Oklahoma town. A delicate laugh bubbles from her as she recalls going door to door asking for tidbits of gossip for her juvenile gem. English Language Center

It's really all I ever wanted to do from the time I could just barely read. That's all I ever wanted to be was a writer. —M.J. Van Deventer UCO adjunct journalism teacher, Director of publications & editor of Persimmon Hill magazine

I'm doing a neighborhood newspaper and have you done anything interesting lately," she would ask. The news, printed on an 8 1/2" by 11" paper from a handset type press with rubber type, included things such as birthdays, trips to the local movie theater, and out-of-town comings and goings. After working in the publishing industry since 1967 and at OSU in Stillwater for 20 years, Van Deventer's zest for new experiences brought her to the Oklahoma City area. Dr. Terry Clark, professor of journalism at UCO asked her to speak at the Oklahoma Collegiate Press Association conference on feature writing and later invited her to teach at UCO. After teaching feature writing for two semesters at UCO, Van Deventer said she was thrilled at the group of 45 students that signed - up for her fall of 1994 magazine editing class. She will teach feature writing again in the spring and looks forward to passing her craft on to another crowd of pupils. Van Deventer instructs her -

students to have a healthy respect of Webster's Dictionary, to keep an open mind to the stories everywhere and to ask many questions. She hopes to teach graphic arts design and another magazine editing course at UCO in the future.

Outside the classroom

hen not in the classroom, Van Deventer spends her days and many evenings editing the mountain of manuscripts that come through her office hoping to be published in Persimmon Hill. "This whole bottom drawer down here is nothing but manuscripts from writers around the country that I need to read," said Van Deventer. The magazine, considered to be first-rate among those who enjoy western culture, allows her to combine her love of the southwest with that of writing. Readers of Persimmon Hill from as far away as London describe it as a most impressive publication. The quality of her work was appreciated by her peers in September of 1994 when she

received her third award for outstanding museum publications from the Oklahoma Museums Association. As if working long hours during the day as editor wasn't enough, Van Deventer spends two to three hours on week nights reading the abundant submissions and an average of 10 hours per day on the weekends. Her many years in the writing field taught Van Deventer to be a sensitive editor. If forced to decline a manuscript, she always sends it back to the writer with personal constructive criticism and suggestions on another source for publication. "I try to give them direction about why it won't work for our publication," said Van Deventer.

"It's not just the reading. It's kind of a P.R. (public relations) job that goes with it."

Writing experience

nthralled with writing at an early age, Van Deventer wrote for her junior high school newspaper, and enjoyed the position of feature editor for her senior high paper. Her early influences included her grandmother, author Willa Cather, and her high school journalism teacher. Van Deventer worked her way through college at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Okla. at the campus newspaper doing public relations and news releases. In 1959, she attended the University of Missouri in Columbia, Mo. for two years. She managed to pay her way through college by working one semester and then going to school the next, causing her to be older than most students in her class. "It's like I'm going to be 50 years old before I get out of college," she said. Van Deventer never gave up the idea of earning a degree and won a scholarship from Northeastern State University. In 1963, she received her bachelor's degree in English and in 1965, completed her masters in communications at OSU.

SGA president vows to 'stand behind' V.P. By David L. Hanigar

Staff Writer Just over a month ago, Adam Harwood might have been referred to as "the heat of the fire." Because of accusations made by him, the front-page headline of The Vista read, "New SGA president in 'hot water.'" Today, while traces of steam still exist in the air, Harwood looks at working side by side with the man he nearly crucified. Aware that students may not think he and Harris could work together after what happened,

Harwood said he wants people to know that's not true. Regardless of the past, Harwood said he's determined to make the most of his position and will not let previous problems affect his job. "Ben and I will never be what we could have been personally. However, that does not have to affect our relationship politically and how we work together to serve the students," he said. With both sides represented, legislation and ideas can be

improved upon so as to satisfy all viewpoints, Harwood said. The vice president's main duties will involve SGA recruitment and the chairman's seat on the election committee. Harris, however, intends to uphold his reputation by challenging the SGA policies and other barriers that stand in the way of his visions for the student, Harwood said. Except this time Harwood will stand behind him.

Kaleidoscope presents show By Elizabeth Hew Student Writer

CO's performing dance troupe, the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company, presented a half-hour show to entertain patients at the Northwest Nursing Center in Oklahoma City Nov.10. The performance, composed of six numbers, included a variation of ballet, modern, funk and clogging, most of which are part of the routine performed in their tours. The nursing home has tried to get groups like the Kaleidoscope Dance Company to visit, but many of them refused, or required payments, said Jaime Jacobson, director of dance. "They're extremely lonely," she said about the patients. Although most of the octogenarians are bedridden, confined to wheelchairs, or just spend their days in reveries, they enjoyed the performance. "One lady clapped through every dance," a dancer said. Dancer Tiffany Couser said people should visit nursing homes more often because it is one of the very few ways that the elderly can have access to the public. Another dancer, Hui Cha, said it was hard for her to see the patients confined. The Kaleidoscope Dancers

Faculty, staff, given chance to visit Tinker By Farzana A. Razak Student Writer

he UCO faculty and staff will have a chance to visit Tinker Air Force Base. one of the largest military installations of its kind in the world, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 2. The main objectives of this visit is to make people have a feel for Tinker, its role in the community and what it is all about," said Dr. Epstein, assistant professor of general business at UCO. The UCO group will visit the maintenance and special facilities, planes and training areas. "Many UCO students are from Tinker, so this would be a good way to familiarize people with its array of operations and business operations. It also creates an identity among the cornmunity so as to gain people's understanding when it is time to support Tinker AFB," said Epstein. "Those who will be joining the tour would probably have to car pool as the question of transportation is still under arrangement," said Epstein. The tour is free of charge.

Trips available to 'introduce' International students to U.S. By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

nternational students not going home for the holidays may be interested in the Christmas holiday trip for foreign students. Two programs available nationwide are: the Christmas International House, sponsored by the Southern Baptist Churches; and the Friendship International House, sponsored by the Presbyterian churches of America, said Jalal Daneshfar, activities coordinator of the international office. In each program the student has a choice of several cities to visit. Cities include San Diego, Tampa, Fla. and Mobile, Ala. The cost to the student is transportation and a minimal application fee, Daneshfar said. "The dates of travel are anytime between Dec. 19 to Jan. 2," he said. The students will be hosted

spend her holiday camping with her family in the countryside near Houston. She plans to spend a week with her daughter, son-in-law, and five grandchildren. She said she doesn't care whether her family has a traditional Thanksgiving or not. "We can have hot dogs for all I care, as long as we're together." Ivan Kisselev, a junior from the Ukraine, said the closest thing to Thanksgiving in his country is a harvest celebration near the end of August or beginning of September. He said he will spend Thanksgiving Day with his sister, a high school exchange student, and her host family. Then, he and a few friends plan to fly to Los Angeles for the rest of the break and perhaps not return to Oklahoma City until the following Monday. Senior Darrin McKelvey said he will have a more traditional Thanksgiving, but will be on a tight schedule. Not able to enjoy the extra day of vacation because of work, McKelvey said he'll just go home to Choctaw, Okla. on Thanksgiving Day to eat dinner and watch some football. He said he plans to return from Choctaw later that evening, but isn't really excited about the holiday and will be "just along for the ride" for this celebration.
