Parking meter malfunctions costly for students By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer
C
ommuters who use the metered parking north of Lillard Administration Building are often getting less than they pay for, an investigation by The Vista revealed last week. Reporters began investigating the parking meters in response to concerns voiced by UCO students, including senior Retta Threet. She claimed that university parking officers engage in aggressive ticketing and that many meters may be malfunctioning. "I have watched one friend put money in a meter only to have the meter eat it and give her no time," Threet said. "I propose that if the meter readers are so anxious to write the tickets they ought to be just as anxious to ensure that the meters are working properly," said Threet. A study done by The Vista showed that Threet's concerns may be valid. Reporters tested several of the meters Sunday afternoon. Of the seven meters tested, only one expired within 30 seconds of the correct time. Meter #9 was the worstâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it took the coins and gave no time. Meter #58, meanwhile, gave 24 minutes for a dime; it was only supposed to allow 12 minutes. Another dime was put into #25, which advanced the needle to 11 minutes rather than 12, but the time expired after only 10 minutes. The meter that fared best on the test was #1, which expired only 20 seconds early.

Such a time discrepancy may not seem much, but as Melanie Spoon, a senior elementary education major, said, for a student who is trying to hurry from class to car, a few seconds can make a difference.

A
s Thanksgiving Day approaches we all start to remember what it means to each of us. We remember the times we have spent with our families, and those big gatherings that seem to bring everybody over to Grandma's to cut into the biggest turkey you have ever seen. We also remember the anxiety of seeing your favorite aunt that haven't seen all year. The aunt that always brings the best apple pie. We remember all the men watching the football games in the den, and hoping that the fight between Uncle Tom and Uncle Joe is smaller than the one last year. The real question is, how many of us remember what really happened on the first Thanksgiving. We all have been taught about the Pilgrims coming across the ocean in the Mayflower, and landing at Plymouth Rock, but do you remember the story of the first winter? During that first winter 48 out of the 102 people died because they did not know how to survive in their new climate. If it had not been for the Indians, the whole colony could have collapsed, but the Pilgrims held out until the spring harvest—a harvest so bountiful that the settlers invited the Indians to a three day feast, just simply to say thank you to the Lord and the Indians. Most of our problems are small in comparison to survival, so when you are sitting around your table about to enjoy that big turkey, try to remember all you have to say thanks for. 4

Student says parking meter malfunction causes unjust tickets enerally speaking, I am a pacifist. I tend to keep my opinions to myself and avoid confrontations. However, Icannot keep silent on this issue. Three weeks ago, I parked at one of the meters in front of Old North. I had a meeting from 3:45 until 4:30. I arrived right at 3:30 and by the time I got out and placed my money in the meter, it was 3:32. I planned to come down after the meeting and put an additional quarter in to keep the meter going until 5:00. I was stopped by the club's sponsor after the meeting and asked a friend to run down and put the money in for me. She arrived at 4:36 and I already had a ticket. The time on the ticket was 4:34. Two minutes had passed from the time the meter expired until the ticket was printed. This indicates to me that the meter reader was waiting for the meter to expire. Is this common practice? I did not argue about the ticket because I was at an expired meter, even if it was only two minutes. However, since that time, I have watched one friend put
G
money in a meter only to have the meter iat it and give her no time. I have talked to one of the university cashiers (while paying my fine) who had lunch with her daughter and ended up with a ticket even though they came out and added additional money to the meter. And just tonight when arriving at school for class I put two quarters in meter #10 to be given 48 minutes instead of the hour I was supposed to receive. This may not seem like a big deal to some. But after paying the fee to park on campus and usually having to walk several blocks because there are no spaces available where I need to be on campus, it makes me mad when I choose to spend additional money on the meter and get cheated in the process. I propose that if the meter readers are so anxious to write the tickets they ought to be just as anxious to ensure that the meters are working properly. —

UCO College Bowl funding comes through for February competition By Jim Hulsey
Staff Writer
D
espite the delays in funding, this year's UCO College Bowl will be played in time for teams to compete in the regional game in Missouri in February. Since 1984, UCO has provided the prize money giving the best students with overall educational knowledge an opportunity to compete against other universities in the "Jeopardy-like" game, said Dr. "Al" Albahadily, associate professor of chemistry. The competition was inactive during 1993-95, until last year, when Albahadily became coordinator. The 1996 games were resumed with 35 participants. But this year when preparations were getting underway, much to his surprise, the funding was unavailable, said Albahadily. Albahadily met with Dr. Cornelius Wooten, vice president of administration and assistant professor of business administration, on Oct. 14 to discuss the
future status of the UCO College Bowl. February 6, 1998 in the University After several weeks Albahadily said it Center. Letters of invitation will go out to was his understanding that the funds were all clubs and organizations, said still unavailable. On Nov.

scheduled for February 22 at the University of Missouri —Columbia. Region 11 is composed of Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma. There is a possibility UCO could host the regional tournament one year, said Albahadily. The "Jeopardy-like" game is played with a mediator asking questions of varying difficulty about art, popular science, culture, sports, social science, literature, science, religion, geography and history, said Albahadily. Each team consists of five members. Undergraduates with at least six enrollment hours or a graduate student with at least five hours are eligible to play. The teams play until they have been eliminated twice. Albahadily encouraged as many teams as are able to participate, giving UCO the best opportunity to send a qualified student team to regional competition. Applications can be picked up in Room 314C, Howell Hall. The deadline is Jan. 30, 1998.

continued from front page wrong. "We tell our people to try the handle," Tunnell said. "They're looking for jams or sleeper coins." Sleeper coins, Tunnell explained, are coins that have been deposited, but the crank was not turned. "I don't like sleeper coins personally," Tunnell said. "Legally we don't have to check for them. We can just write a ticket if the time is expired, but we like to give people the benefit of a doubt." When asked about the timing complaints of Spoon and others, Tunnell said the timing mechanism of the meters are checked for inaccuracies during intersession times at the university. Tunnell attributes the timing problems to such factors as water damage, coin jams and worn springs. He suggested people who encounter a problem come to the Parking Services office and file a complaint. "We have a little card people can fill out if they have a problem with the meters," Tunnell said. But Spoon said she and other students don't have the time to do that. "It's not my job to tell them they're (the meters) not working," Spoon said. Tunnell said his office only receives about three returned cards each semester. If a complaint card is turned in, and the meter is found to be faulty, the ticket will be waived, Tunnell said. UCO keeps the parking meters in that lot primarily to raise revenue from visitors who come to the Lillard Administration Building, Tunnell said. He said the university is looking into removing the meters, but no decision is imminent. According to Tunnell, UCO parking attendants usually write five to six citations for meter violations each day. "No more than nine or ten," Tunnell said. "Ten at the most." Tunnell said all revenue raised from the parking tickets goes toward paying off the bonds that made the recent construction possible.

Auxiliary Services honors parking officers By Colby Grieser Staff Writer
A
sometimes thankless job is being rewarded this month. Aaron Courtright and Richard McCallun, both UCO parking officers, were named UCO November Employees of the Month. McCallun has been a part-time parking officer for more than two years and is a student as well. "Richard has never missed a day, is always on time and trustworthy," said Greg Tunnel, parking services director. "He's one of those employees an employer can

depend on." McCallun goes above and beyond his everyday job and is always willing to lend a helping hand, said Tunnel. On a cold and rainy day, McCallun even helped an elderly lady change her flat tire, he said. Courtright has worked as a full-time parking officer for three years. "I enjoy working for UCO... parking services is getting better every year," said Courtright. His duties include supervising parking officers, running the pay parking lot, making schedules, fixing parking meters and training new employees. "I do a little bit of everything," he said. During school breaks, he also works for the housing office doing maintenance, or writes parking tickets. "Aaron is a responsible worker, creative thinker and is always willing to offer a hand to other departments," said Carroll Van Duyn, resident housing director. Everyday is a little unusual, but on an average day it doesn't surprise him to have a confrontation with a person, said Courtright. "People tend to get a little hostile about parking," he said. The thing he likes most about his job is meeting people. He meets new people almost everyday, but some of the more interesting ones include: Governor Frank Keating, Congressman J.C. Watts and Congressman Ernest Istook, he said. He also enjoyed meeting the children from the UCO

"He's always willing to help people with their mechanical problems," he said. The employees of the month are chosen from UCO's Auxiliary Enterprises which employs over 50 full-time employees and 150 students who work part-time. The winners receive two free tickets for brunch at the University Center's Oklahoma Room restaurant. Their picture is displayed throughout the month in the east entrance of the University Center.

Two-year project brings success for NEWPLAINS Review By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer his may be one of 4 4T
our busiest semesters ever," said Gwynne Hunter, director of UCO's NEWPLAINS Review (NPR). The NPR is a literary journal staffed by students interested in various aspects of the publishing industry. After going two years without producing a publication, NPR is enjoying the success of their latest issue, The Woman, which was released in October, 1997. Last Monday, the staff hosted a reception in the Liberal Arts Reception Room for the artists and writers who contributed to the current issue. Though no official attendance record was kept, Hunter said the reception was a success. "We had a cake that would serve 100 people," she said. "The cake was gone, so there was probably 80 to 85 people that came in." Of those who came to the reception, many left with a copy of The Woman. "We sold 15 copies in just the first five minutes," said Susan Thompson, managing editor. The volume deals with issues relevant to women, Hunter said. The text covers several categories, from fiction to nonfiction to poetry, with reproductions of several mediums of artwork. The reception came only two weeks after the NPR staff returned from a trip to the Rocky Mountain Book Festival in Denver. The festival is an annual event attended by authors, editors, publishers and others in the literary field. Along with lectures and entertainment, the RMBF provides a chance for small publishers to introduce their works to a national audience. Hunter said the festival was a major success for NPR. "We ran out of our old books the first day and had to start taking orders," she said. Hunter said sales of The Woman were "brisk," and other NPR merchandise, such as Tshirts, sweatshirts and notecards went very well, Overall, she said the interest in NPR was "phenomenal." "People attending the festival said we had one of the best
booths there," Hunter said. According to Hunter, many people at the festival were surprised to learn that The Woman was produced by students rather than professionals. She attributes the quality of the volume to the efforts of her staff. "This venture is entirely possible because of the

dedication and energy and enthusiasm of the staff," she said. "It is not a one-person venture. Everybody is working together as a team. I'm just a member of the team. I'm the coach." The trip to Denver was paid for by the Student Activity Fund. Hunter said the trip is one of the very few academic activities in which the fund invests. Before this semester is over, the NPR staff will take a trip to the publishing museum in

Guthrie, Okla., and will host a reading from The Woman. Hunter said next semester will be another busy time for her and her staff. They are working on a volume of poetry called Miscellany and will begin selecting material for their next journal, The Challenged. Other projects include making a promotional video tape, the bulk of which was filmed during their trip to the Rocky Mountain Book Festival.
Thompson encouraged students from all majors to sign up for the NPR class next semester. She said the wide variety of duties, which include tasks from editing to marketing to layout and design, offer something for everyone. The class is a 3000 level English course worth three credit hours. It meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. For more information, call 341-2980 Ext. 5628 or 5629.

Official warns; beware of food poisoning this holiday season Shelly Collier Student Writer
W
hile eating can be one of the main activities during the holiday season, gaining a few pounds shouldn't be the only concern. Food poisoning can quickly put an end to festive feelings but can be avoided with a few simple precautions. LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of Student Health Services, warns that meat is often the main culprit of food poisoning.

Special attention should be paid to anything that touches raw meat, said Wallenmeyer. Countertops, knives, cutting boards and hands should be washed immediately after touching raw meat and before touching any other food, said Wallenmeyer. People also need to be careful with foods containing eggs, said Wallenmeyer. Products such as mayonnaise and salad dressings should not go unrefrigerated for too long. After a holiday meal, people often don't realize how long the leftovers have been sitting on the table, and that can be dangerous, said Wallenmeyer. "Food should never be left out longer than an hour," said Wallenmeyer.
Common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramping and diarrhea, said Wallenmeyer. Symptoms can occur within six hours to eight days of eating tainted food, but the most common time frame is 12 to 36 hours, said Wallenmeyer. "It's probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me as far as feeling bad. It was very painful," said Michael S. Miller, who recently suffered from food poisoning. Depending on the severity of food poisoning and a person's health condition before contamination, a visit to a doctor or even a stay in the hospital may be necessary, said Wallenmeyer.

depends on an individual's health and the strength of the food poisoning, said Wallenmeyer. It is important to watch for dehydration, which can be caused by excessive vomiting and diarrhea, said Wallenmeyer. If a person can't hold down liquids, it may be time to see a doctor. Medical attention should be sought more quickly for children and the elderly who may be suffering from food poisoning, said Wallenmeyer. A recent news report stated that about 9,000 people in the U.S. die from food poisoning each year, a statistic that surprised Wallenmeyer with its high number.

UCO jazz band to play in Atlanta CO's First Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble Band will travel to Georgia next month to perform at the Atlanta International Band and Orchestra Conference. The bands will perform Dec. 5-6 at the Radisson Hotel 'n Atlanta. The bands were selected from several other schools after sending in an audition tape, said Dr. Kent Kidwell, professor of music. The conference has been in existence for eight years and is expected to draw several thousand people, said Kidwell. The First Jazz Band will have a one-hour program consisting of eight pieces and the Wind Ensemble Band will perform a separate program, he said.
U
Although the bands have been rated with high scores in competitions with other college bands around the country, this is the first time they have auditioned for the conference in Atlanta, said Kidwell. All the musicians in the bands are talented and there isn't one weak player, he said. "It takes a high degree of skill—well developed musical skill and tenacity," said Kidwell. Before the conference, the Wind Ensemble will perform at 8 p.m. Dec. 4, in Mitchell Hall Theatre. For ticket information call the box office at 341-2980, Ext. 3375
