Captain suspects dorm fire was arson

Campus radio funding killed?

UCO classic radio station KCSC may lose all school funding by '96

A cut of all university funding to UCO classical radio station KCSCFM in the university's 1996 budget proposal may force the reconsideration of current programming and student employment. `There is no danger to KCSC. We will not let that happen," said UCO President George Nigh in a response letter to agitated KCSC listener Brent Keck, who was worried about the future and possible demise of the station.

"We are simply trying to reduce its depending on UCO operation KCSC program director Kent Anderson funds.

:E THINK MY 7E1\04-EKS NVI.6uNDERTAND THE LEANT NCB OF '"DEAD WEEK1..

Wanted:

Dead or Alive Dead week: n. (colloqial): A college slang term referring to the week prior to the week of final examinations in which the course study load and/or classes are omitted to allow adequate study time for students.

U

CO claims to have a dead week. They even have gone as far as giving it a politically correct name—they call it "Quiet week."

BUT...

Whose "quiet week" is it?

Some class professors lecture right up until the Friday before class is dismissed.

Is that "quiet?"

Some students have reported mandatory reports or papers due that week.

Is that "quiet?"

Other students have even had to take examinations— real examinations, the kind that require excessive studying.

"We are allowed to give tests, they just can not account for more than a fourth of your grade," one professor said.

THANKS...that takes the stress out of our lives.

As if it's not bad enough that we have to ravish our cupboards down to the last Cheeto and tinfoil-dressed Vivarin tablet, they smile and tell us the test is only a small portion of our grade. What's an "A" anyway.

Perhaps the word "quiet" refers to the student. They need to be as quiet as possible otherwise they may miss an assignment or other critical part of their total grade.

Perhaps this is why the word "dead" was substituted.

The student's brains are so dead that week they can't do anything otherwise.

"Dead week" was born so students could have a decent chance at scoring high on their finals...FINALS, meaning the final test of the semester usually worth a substantial portion of their grade. If there isn't going to be a "dead week," then there shouldn't be a final.

Some professors don't give a final and load up the student the week before. That's fine, if everyone is doing it.

If there is going to be a "dead week," then honor it!

But today "dead week" is dead at UCO—only because it no longer exists.

Nearly all of us teach four courses per semester and we are expected to be "on top" of the subject matter. This takes a certain amount of preparation which includes considerable reading and note taking in addi-

UCO strongly stresses good teaching over research and publication and that is as it should be. Although our teaching loads (double those of OU and OSU) make research difficult, a fair number of faculty do indeed pre-

Credit card offers tips to help 'take charge' of money

By Farzana A. Razak Student Writer

This Christmas season owning a credit card can be, by all means, a luxury, but wait till the bill comes!

The American Express Company has provided a list of credit card tips that implies that "Knowing The Facts Puts You In Charge."

While cash advances can look attractive, keep in mind that interest usually accrues from the moment you accept the cash.

If you add in transaction fees, the annualized interest on cash advances can be more expensive than you think.

• Be prepared for credit card theft. Keep a list of your credit card numbers in a secure place. The list should include the name and phone number of each card issuer.

• Report lost or stolen cards immediately.

• Beware of skip-amonth payment offers.

Remember, you still pay interest on your outstanding debt, and your total interest costs continue to rise.

• Eight out of 10 consumers surveyed who knew they had a grace period didn't know how it worked.

Grace period is the amount of time, usually 20 to 25 days, during which you don't have to pay interest on purchases made with a credit card, if and only if you have no outstanding balance on your card. If you owe anything at all from a previous bill, you start paying interest from the moment you make the purchase.

• So, when is the Minimum the Maximum? If you pay the minimum monthly payment when you pay your credit card bill, you are paying the maximum interest.

The minimum payment might be convenient if it is all you can afford. If you have an 18.5 percent interest rate card, it will take you more than 11 years to pay off a debt of $2,000 if you only pay the minimum balance due each month.

Quick, free degree-status reports offered by DARS UCO's Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) is a new, free service students can use to analyze their progress toward completing a degree.

DARS is a computerized system that shows students the required courses they still need to take, said Dr. Donna Guinn, computerized degree audit coordinator at UCO. DARS also reports required courses students have completed, when they were completed, and what grades were given, she said.

"Any UCO student can have an audit done," Guinn said.

The DARS reports can be completed in minutes, but because the DARS staff often double-checks them, students may have to wait a day to get them, said Guinn.

Although they do provide similar information, a DARS report is not the same as a degree check.

A degree check is more official and is completed by an academic adviser, Guinn said.

DARS is integrated with information about courses at OU, OSU, Rose State, OSU Tech, Redlands Community College and OCCC.

This fall, thousands of students will complete their undergraduate degrees. To get into graduate schools, undergraduates must take entrance examinations.

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) are required for admission into UCO graduate programs.

No times are specified for how early graduate entrance exams should be taken, but the earlier one takes them, the better, said John Malone, coordinator of correspondence and testing at UCO. The tests are offered ✓ four times each year, and students

must register for tests at least one month in advance, Malone said.

The GRE usually takes about four and a half hours to complete while the GMAT takes about five hours, he said.

The GMAT costs $70 to take, and the GRE costs $56.

Patricia Helberg, ✓ administrative aid to the UCO graduate dean, said the GRE can be taken on computer at the Sylvan Learning Center in Oklahoma City.

GMAT results generally are not ready for four to six weeks, but results from the GRE can be obtained within 10-14 days if the test is taken by computer, Helberg said.

If a student doesn't do ✓ well on a test the first time, they

may take it again, but scores tend to go down the more times the tests are taken, Malone said.

Study aids and books from the library and bookstores are available to help increase scores.

Study software for the ✓ GRE is available to the student body in the UCO Learning Resources Center.

In addition, Kaplan and PrepMaster companies have programs designed to improve test scores.

While these programs and books may be expensive, they are worth it, Malone said.

Registration forms and information about study aids can be picked up in the testing center downstairs in Evans Hall.

Bomb stamp 'blasted' by activists TOKYO (AP) — Survivors of the U.S. atomic bombing of Japan and anti-nuclear bomb activists blasted a U.S. Postal Service plan to issue a mushroom-cloud stamp commemorating the attack.

The stamp design is a composite of mushroom clouds created by the wartime bombings and nuclear tests after the war. It is scheduled to be released next year around the 50th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II. The use of weapons of mass destruction like those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki should never be legitimated under any circumstances," said Kazuva Yasuda of the Japan Council Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs.

Similar opposition met a Smithsonian war exhibit. But, veterans groups said the exhibit was too sympathetic to wartime Japan and unjustly critical of the bomb, which may have saved thousands of American lives.

Jewish traditions, Hanukkah celebrated by UCO student

By Cynthia Chung Student Writer Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of the miracle of the lights, began with the lighting of the first candle at sundown on Nov. 27.

The eight-day observance commemorates the miracle the Jews said occurred when the Temple of Israel was being rebuilt.

X-rays indicate health of 'Ice Man' CHICAGO (AP) — X-rays of the "Ice Man" reveal he had arthritis as he trekked through the Alps 5.000 years ago, and before he became a mummy in a glacier, he may have had frostbite. He also had broken his ribs, doctors said Wednesday.

The medical mishaps of the mummy, dubbed "Otzi" because he was found in the Otzval Valley of the Tyrolean .Alps in northern Italy. were reported at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

The mummified corpse. found by hikers in 1991, is the best preserved European known from an age 4,000 to 6,000 years ago when humans were just starting to use copper for tools and weapons.

Analysis of materials with the corpse has led scientists to believe Otzi died 5,100 to 5.200 years ago. then was buried and preserved in accumulating snow and ice. The man was believed to be 25 to 40 years old when he died.

Vietnamese aid in search of MIAs HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — U.S. officials said Laos has agreed for the first time to let in former North Vietnamese soldiers to help locate possible burial sites of missing American servicemen.

The agreement marks a breakthrough in efforts to resolve the fates of some of the 505 Americans listed as missing in Laos.

This is something the United States has wanted to do for a long time, getting Vietnamese witnesses into Laos," Navy Lt. Cmdr. Thomas Adams said today.

Four Vietnamese who claim to have witnessed the burials of several Americans in neighboring Laos during the war will join searches for their remains over the next few weeks, said James Wold, U.S. deputy assistant secretary of defense for POW-MIA affairs.

days," said Rachel Schnitzer, a Jewish UCO student.

"It was just enough time," she said.

Schnitzer displayed a miniature nine-candle candelabrum.

"The youngest in the family gets to light the middle candle, and then we light the others, one each day, from left to right."

Schnitzer said her family uses a larger menorah (candle-holder) at home.

"Sometimes there is Hebrew writing engraved on them, but it's only for decoration," she said.

The traditional menorah, a

symbol of Judaism, holds seven candles instead of nine.

"We also have a game called dradel," Schnitzer said, pointing to a wooden top-like toy with Hebrew words printed on it.

Circular pieces of chocolate wrapped in gold foil called gelt are usually given to children on Hanukkah, said Schnitzer.

"We put the gelt in the middle and spin the dradel. When the dradel stops spinning, we do what the words say," Schnitzer said.

The words instruct the players to 'take out one', 'take out all', `none' and 'give all.'

"Nobody wants to get that last one, of course," Schnitzer said.

Schnitzer considers herself a Reformist Jew. "There are the Hasidics, who observe all dietary laws, and the Conservatives, who are not as strict," said Schnitzer.

The Reformist Jews are the most liberal of the three, she said.

Hanukkah came to a close on Dec. 4 as the sun set on the lighting of the ninth, and final, candle. X:p • (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith)

Terrorist leaves prison, fans party LUEBECK, Germany (AP) — Irmgard Moeller, the Red Army Faction terrorist who blew up three American soldiers with a car bomb 22 years ago, walked out of prison Dec. 1 after being freed early from her life sentence.

"It still feels unreal," she said, her words nearly drowned out by the crowd of 200 fans, who carried red flags, champagne bottles and Christmas presents.

Moeller was convicted of driving one of two explosivesladen cars that blew up May 24, 1972, at U.S. Army Headquarters in Heidelberg. The blast killed Capt. Clyde R. Bonner and two enlisted men, Charles L. Peck and Ronald A. Woodward.

Moeller was arrested six weeks later and sentenced to life in prison plus 15 years. She is now out on a 5-year parole.

Moeller, 47, was freed because of her poor health, although she has shown no remorse and refused to cooperate with psychiatric evaluations to determine whether she is still dangerous.

"1 think that decision needs to be made by someone other than accountants," said Emigh.

Philip Arnold, director of finance for the Office of Outreach at UCO, said the cutback will not affect the quality of KCSC progarnrning; it will only change how the budget is presented.

"The purpose of the cutback is to show that KCSC will be self-sufficient," said Arnold.

Arnold said that UCO's Educational and Budget Fund shows the allotment to KCSC currently at $55,018.99. Student salaries are $11,730.00 of that total.

He said that UCO will need to pay the students out of other funds.

KCSC will have to start charging everyone who uses the station for supplying services, such as broadcasting the UCO football games, said Arnold.

Ferguson said Nigh doesn't understand why KCSC exists or what it does for the community.

KCSC reaches an audience of 51,000 listeners and UCO only serves approximately 16,000 students, said Ferguson.

Ferguson said that during the last fund-raiser, listeners called and complained about the projected cutback.

KCSC receives approximately 13 percent of their budget from UCO, said Ferguson.

"We receive the least of any of the schools and now they're going to take away the last little bit," said Ferguson.

The annual report of the Office of Outreach reported that the Corporation of Public Broadcasting (CPB) grants matching money at the rate of 20 percent and KCSC receives 20 cents for every dollar raised.

Five other Oklahoma public radio stations receive more support from their universities that KCSC does at UCO, Ferguson said.

Cameron University provides 46 percent of the budget for KCCUFM, he said.

Mark Norman, KCCU general manager, said they have not received a budget cut from Cameron

University in the past.

Congress just ordered a sevenpercent budget cut of funding from the CPB to all public radio stations across the nation, said Norman.

"It's the first time ever that Con dress has taken back money already in effect in the system," said Norman. "And it would not be good for KCSC to lose its university funding as well as the CPB cut.

Mark Koonce, current development director for Cameron University's station ,' KCSC, said that for a five and a half year-old radio station, KCCU enjoys eager support from the president of Cameron University.

"He thinks it's the best thing that ever happened to Cameron," said Koonce, former underwriting representative for KCCU. "We are putting up the translators to increase our membership base to keep it going just in case we should lose our funding," said Norman.

Craig Beeby, KOSU-FM general manager, said his station receives 33 percent of its support from Oklalema State University (OSU).

Karen Hope, general manager for the University of Oklahoma's (OU) station, KGOU-FM, said that OU provides 40c/c of the cash budget for its station operations.

"I would hope they (UCO) would find a way to avoid a budget cut. It is a valuable resource for the community," said Hope.

KCSC's budget was also cut by half for the '93-'94 fiscal year, said Ferguson.

The engineer's salary now comes from KCSC's fundraising efforts.

Nigh's letter to Keck stated that under the new organizational assignment of Carl Rehennan, executive director for the Office of Outreach, UCO intends to buy land and erect a new tower to expand its broadcast area However, Ferguson said those expenditures are to come from the station's fund drives, not from UCO. Despite the planned improvements for KCSC, Ferguson said the programs that would be cut out hold a large attraction for the public.

"Many people are not going to be happy," said Ferguson. ►

Los Angeles dancer breaks from schedule to visit UCO

By Paul Eddy

Jacobson, the director of

Staff Writer He sat in one of those small wooden desks, one of those desks which should have been left in a third grade classroom.

His name is Tony Copolla, as a choreographer and dancer his name is recognized around the world. And he was sitting in UCO's solitary dance studio, waiting, thumping on the conga drum beside him.

Copolla was here to work with

The Kaleidoscope Dancers Company on their Spring Conceit He stopped for a week. A week from a man who will be responsible for much of the choreography in Jon Tesh's special "Live at Red Rocks" in March. A week from a man who will soon be seen on Marilu Henner's new talk show. A week from a man whose name is borne by a tap shoe manufactured by Capezio.

This is the second time in two years he has visited.

Copolla said he heard of The Kaleidoscope Dancers Company from a friend in Los Angeles.

Copolla choreographs for Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy in Norman, and contacted Jamie

The Kaleidoscope Dancers Company .

Copolla has also taught in England, Australia, and throughout the United States. He recently filmed an instructional tap video.

Still, Copolla said that he enjoys teaching in America "Americans just have a great sense of humor," said Copolla Copolla was also pleased with the progress of The Kaleidoscope Dancers Company "What is really nice is how good everybody focuses... everything has been in the plus column so far," said Copolla Copolla has been dancing and choreographing for 21 years.

n stage, the dancer moves gracefully, feeling every sense of the music as if she and the music were one.

Down stage, a young lady mesmerized by the dancer holds her breath and thinks, "I want to be like her."

That is how Jamie Jacobson, UCO's director of dance, began her dance career. Unlike many of the other dancers, she didn't start Kaleidescope dancers Michael Adams dancing until her junior and Kevin Kem rehearse in one of year in college.

In 1987, Jacobson was chosen as director of dance at UCO and became a full-time teacher. She taught the first jazz class offered in the dance program and developed a variety of classes, such as ballet and jazz.

Presently, UCO's dance program includes an upper division music and dance choreography course Jacobson teaches. A graduate program in dance was also proposed in 1989 by Jacobson.

Her premiere choreography was a humorous piece entitled Matter of Time. It was selected for the choreographers' showcase at BYU in 1978.

"It was inspired by Maida Withers, professor of dance at the George Washington University," Jacobson said.

Despite being a mother of two boys, ages eight and 11, Jacobson teaches five classes and manages UCO's performing dance troupe, Kaleidoscope Dancers Company, with which she conducts rehearsals daily.

certified movement analyst with the Laban Institute.

The 20 Kaleidoscope dancers and her students are another part of her family, Jacobson said.

Although the dancers come from varying backgrounds, their love for dancing remains the centrality of their cooperation, she said. aleidoscope student director Amy Reynolds, 21, started dancing when she was 5 years old and has appeared in more than 100 performances.

Jennifer Davenport, a liberal arts major, has been dancing for 18 years. She has toured to Mexico to teach and perform. She also participated in a dance festival in China.

Another dancer, Michael Adams, 24, has been a Kaleidoscope dancer for three years and teaches tap and jazz classes at the Applause Dance Studio.

Brina Hampton, 25, is not only a Kaleidoscope dancer but is also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, despite the differences in the two activities. She spends four hours dancing in college every day and another four hours afterward in Tae Kwon Do.

"It (Tae Kwon Do) was hard at first, but it's really easy to catch up when you've got dance," she said.

Kevin Kem, 19, a former gymnast, said he's best at tap dancing.

In his second year as a Kaleidoscope dancer, Kern is also a martial-arts student.

Ice-skater Chris Castleberry, 21, is experiencing his first year dancing, and said it has helped him a lot.

"I enjoy being in Kaleidoscope Dancers Company," he said.

"It has helped me in dance performances, body aspect."

Castleberry skates from 5 to 8 a.m., rehearses with the Kaleidoscope dancers, then returns to skate from 5 to 7 p.m. six days a week. riginally founded by former UCO dance teacher Ann Shanks, the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company presents 10 to 15 performances a year.

They will be performing at the Dallas Choreographers' Showcase in Fort Worth, Texas this January and at the American College Dance Festival in March.

Broncho matmen dominate at Fort Hays UCO puts 6 wrestlers in finals, crowns 4 champions at Fort Hays State Open

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer Central Oklahoma dominated the Ft. Hays State Open, putting six wrestlers in the finals and bringing home four individual titles last Saturday at what was the topranked Bronchos last open tour-

nament appearance before opening the dual season this weekend.

The Bronchos got individual titles from 118 Keith Kizarr, 126 Brian Melchiori, 134 Mike Keim and 158 mark Cunningham. UCO also finished up with two second place finishes from 177 Kyle Vandruff and heavyweight Denny Kennedy.

UCO got fourth place finishes from 150 Shawn Bateman and 167 Ryan Nesbitt.

Keim took Outstanding Wrestler honors for the the second time this year, defeating Northern Colorado's Chris Nelson 3-1 in the finals. Keim was also named the Outstanding Wrestler at the Nebraska-Omaha Open earlier this

season.

At 118 Kizarr overcame Chad Short of Garden City (Kan.) 9-6 in the finals.

After last week's impressive outing at the Las Vegas Invitational, defending national champion Melchiori won his third tournament of the year, getting a third period fall over Chris Lambe of

Colby (Kan.).

Cunningham secured his second tournament title of the season edging out Southern Colorado's Steve Kimpel 7-5.

This Saturday UCO will open their dual season, wrestling Wisconsin-Parkside at 11 a.m. and Northeast Missouri at 3 p.m. at Hamilton Field House.

Lady Bronchos fizzle at Classic Women cagers drop 2 at UCO Classic; 0-6 start worst since '85-86

Close may only count in horseshoes, but it's reason enough for the Lady Broncho hoopsters to show optimism.

Two narrow losses in the Central Oklahoma Classic over the weekend are cause for the excitement despite starting the season 06, their worst start since the 198586 season.

Saturday' s game, was a rematch against Missouri Southern, who whipped the Lady Bronchos by 63 points, 111-48 at the Missouri Southern tourney just six days prior.

"We're getting there, I know that. And, I think the girls know we're getting better, but we've been playing some really good teams and it's been tough on us," Head Coach John Keely said.

The Lady Lions slowly crept out to an eight point lead by the nine minute mark, but four out of six free throws and three jumpers

by UCO moved them into a tie at 22 with 3:59 showing on the clock.

The two teams exchanged shots and the lead before a layup by Michelle Johnson with six sec-

onds left tied the game at the half.

In the second, Christy Heavin nailed two straight j umpers to give UCO its only lead of the half and its biggest of the game at four.

MSSC tied the score on a free throw and slowly increased their lead to nine.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Johnson and Kayla B ogges moved UCO to within four with 5:40 on the clock.

The Lady Bronchos slowly closed the gap and tied the game at 62 with 2:18 left.

Two free throws by MS SC gave them the lead and they seemed to be in command until Heavin was fouled with three seconds to go in the game.

Heavin's shot rolled out and was rebounded by the Lady Lions.

Two more free throws with one second left gave the game to MSSC 66-62.

In Friday's game against Lincoln, the Lady Bronchos could not take advantage of a record

setting performance by April Taylor.

The senior guard from Medford hit seven 3-pointers to tie the school and Lone Star Conference records.

UCO trailed at the end of the first, 35-28 despite Taylor's career high 18 points.

The Lady Bronchos fell behind by 10 early in the second, but pulled to within four at 53-49 with 5:52 showing.

The Blue Tigers increased their lead to eight, before three consecutive buckets brought UCO back into contention at 57-55 with a little more than two minutes to go.

The Lady Bronchos could only muster three more points and fell 63-58.

"I'm awfully proud of our girls and the way they battled in both ball games," said Keely. "We got down pretty good both days, but came back and had a chance to win each game."

Bronchos clawed

by Bearcats, 112-98 Poor rebounding, shooting nail UCO

By Scott Moore Sports Editor

Saturday night in Bolivar, Mo. the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team was outshot and outmuscled as the Bearcats of Southwest Baptist downed the Bronchos 112-98 in a key South Central regional matchup.

The Bearcats outshot UCO 4944 percent and out-rebounded the Bronchos by a wide margin of 5839 (24-17 offensive, 34-22 defensive). The Bearcats held UCO below the 100-point mark and below their season scoring average of 106.3 points per game. The Bronchos are 76-14 under Head Coach James Seward in games where they've scored 100 or more points.

UCO's 44 percent shooting is about their season average (44.5 percent) but the Bronchos hit just 31 percent of their three-point shots (11-36) and hit just 53 percent of their free-throws (9-17).

The Bearcats however, shot 90 percent from the line (19-21) and hit 54 percent of their three-point shots (13-24) in handing the Bronchos their third loss of the

season. UCO' s 2-3 record is their worst start since the 1989-90 season. The Bearcats improve to 5-1 on the year.

Despite shooting just 34 percent in the first half, UCO stayed with SBU, trailing by no more than nine points and leading by as much as eight. The Bronchos took a 27-26 lead with 8:48 left in the half and held on to it until the 3:10 mark when a tip in by SBU's Gregg Schmedding gave the Bearcats a 41-40 lead. That basket capped a 9-0 Bearcat scoring run and SBU finished the final three minutes of the game by outscoring the Bronchos 12-5 and taking a 53-45 lead into the locker room.

UCO played catch-up for the entire second half and never regained the lead and trailed by as much as 16 points. The Bronchos pulled to within six when UCO senior forward Junie Sanders nailed a three-pointer with 5:35 left in the game to cut the Bearcat lead to 85-79 but the Bronchos would get no closer.

Seven SBU players scored in double figures with Earl Stark leading all scorers with 23 points.

The Bronchos were lead by senior guard Michael Gardner with 20 points.

Bronchos net 3 on All-LSC 1st team, 5 on 2nd team Three Central Oklahoma players were selected to the 1994 Coaches' All-Lone Star Conference football team with five other Bronchos being named to the sec* and team.

Tailback Joe Aska, linebacker Eric Brinkley and defensive back Elton Rhoades made the first team while center Flo Gonzalez, offensive guard Mike Filson, offensive guard Chance Nelson, wide reciever Tony Bryson and defensive lineman Troy Chitsey were second team picks.

Career fashion highlight of show

`Retro'-active Through design, UCO's Fashion Troupe struts 'circular' fashion sense

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

By Sharee Paysinger Student Writer

The Association of Childhood Education International (ACEI) held a fashion show Nov. 28 at UCO's Pegasus Theatre for students to have fun and learn what fashions are appropriate for their careers.

Members of the association modeled the clothing donated by Harold's, Trends Express, and Brighter Days Casual and Career Fashions and many other stores.

People who attended the show were entered into a drawing for clothing and gift certificates donated by the stores.

This was the first fashion show the ACEI has presented.

Trina Woodruff, president of the association, said, "A fashion show was a way to actively include members in a fun way and at the same time educate them about the appropriate attire for their careers."

The ACEI tries to teach education majors about the field they are going into, said Vicki Woods, a member of ACEI. Woods said ACEI does not require a certain grade point average to become a member like so many of the other clubs do.

The ACEI was established at UCO in August.

It is an internationally recognized association for education majors, teachers, and administrators.

hat goes around comes around, especially in the fashion world.

This was demonstrated at the fashion show and luncheon held in the living room of the Home Economics department Dec. 1.

"Timeless Designs" was coordinated

by UCO's Fashion Troupe and Dr. Tana Stufflebean's fashion advertising and promotion class.

"Doing a fashion show and reading how to do a fashion show are two different things." Stufflebean said.

"In this particular show we had to find historic costumes that looked liked today's fashions," she said.

The show's theme illustrated the •circular motion in which the fashion industry moves.

Fashions from UCO's Historical Costume Lab were paired up with their modern day counterpart to demonstrate that popular styles of yesteryear are once again showing up on fashion runways.

The first item down the runway was a wine colored velvet evening gown from the 1920s paired with a 1990s wine colored jump suit. It showed that some classic colors always return to the fashion scene.

nir

The style and grandeur of the 1940s was portrayed in a black sheath dress with a sequined jacket. Today's counterpart was a hot pink sheath with a pink sequined bodice.

A green satin dress by designer Teal Traina showed satin was a popular choice with designers in the '50s. - This was paired with a purple satin dress demonstrating the popularity of satin today.

Reminiscent of the liberating '60s was an orange and gold brocade jumpsuit accessorized by a unique belt designed with freedom in mind. This was coupled with a floral print jumpsuit. Topped with a floppy hat, it represented the freedom we have in the '90s.

A navy polka-dot dress by Oscar De la Renta designed in the '70s was paired with a pants ensemble that consisted of a hounds tooth checked jacket and polka dot pants. The outfit seemed to confirm that some designers still go dotty over dots.

The grand finale demonstrated the timelessness of Christmas fashions by using the traditional colors of red and green and fabrics of wool and velvet.

"It was a lot of work," said Stufflebean. "The students learned a lot and I think they did a good job."

SGA president gives `state of the campus' to dismal attendance

By David L. Hanigar

Staff Writer Room 206 in the Education Building was the site for Student-Body President Ben Harris' "State of the Campus Address." The speech, however, was never given.

Except for a handful of senators, only reporters made an appearance. So, the meeting was canceled and event organizer, Senator Carole Crawley, and Harris gave interviews instead.

"I feel that we're a representative government..and we need to know their (students) ideas and what they want "I was really disappointed that we didn't have any students or faculty show up," Crawley said.

Finals and busy yearend schedules could be the reason, but lack of interest or concern from the stu-

dents was probably to blame for the turnout, Crawley said Despite the turnout, Harris said he feels that student awareness is the student government's largest accomplishment this semester.

"Last year at this time people were asking me 'Do we have a student government' or, 'What is student government, I've never heard of it' "One thing I can say positive about this year is that people know we exist," Harris said.

Harris said that although much of the publicity was negative, the arguing within the senate was necessary and should be looked on as an accomplishment rather than a sign of failure.

"If people look back on how this nation was founded, it wasn't founded on peace and tranquillity." 413

A Christmas Message for Students and Faculty

PEOPLE STILL SEEK HIM, AS DID THE WISE MEN OF OLD! Christmas is a time to share love with family and friends, a time to enjoy good things. But it's also a time to reflect and ask questions about one's values, goals, and purpose for existing.

Jesus Christ, whose coming is 'the reason for the season,' has spoken to these and other important questions mankind has raised over the ages. We have found that, more than just providing an answer to life's meaning and purpose, He IS the answer!

We sincerely believe that the most wonderful gift any person could receive this Christmas--or any time--is new life in Christ. It's available to all who seek and accept Him. We encourage you to consider His offer. Merry Christmas!

The wall above the desk, relatively empty in contrast to the rest of the room, held only a golf award and three degree certificates.

For Dr. Patricia King, Ed.D, professor of professional teacher education at UCO, "Education is important to any question, and the key to any answer."

She credits a broad variety of experiences both in and out of the classroom as a vital part of bring-

ing understanding into education.

In her first year at UCO, King is currently teaching two sections of educational psychology and a two-hour career guidance class in the master's program.

"I've always wanted to be a teacher. I enjoy teaching, I love teaching...in fact, I really wanted to come here to UCO so I could be part of the teacher education," King said.

She said she wanted to get out of administration and back into teaching because, for her, teaching is just more fun, especially being with students in the classroom.

King came to Edmond because she believed then, and still believes now, that UCO has the best professional teacher education department in the state.

King received her bachelor's in special education from UCO when it was still Central State. She received a master's in communication disorders from the University of Oklahoma, before going on to attend Oklahoma State University where she obtained her doctorate

"The kids were school-aged so it worked out really well, they went to school the same time I did," she said.

King later served as the concurrent enrollment coordinator for Yukon, Piedmont, Mustang and El Reno high schools.

She thinks the program is great because it gives seniors a chance to get a head start on college credit.

Although many schools offer the program, she mainly worked with Redlands Community College.

In addition to a broad academic history, King also has a potpourri of personal experiences.

"I guess my personal history helps me as much as my professional one. My great grandmother refused to sign her name on the Cherokee rolls, she didn't want to be discriminated against."

King said her grandmother eventually did sign and her name is listed on one of the original Cherokee rolls.

King has helped with counseling Cherokee people. She believes being part Cherokee helps her teach

King also credits working as an interpreter for the deaf at her church as part of what influenced her career. She first got involved with the deaf community back in 1974 while in high school.

"Our church had missionaries come and talk to us about the need to communicate and share our message with everyone. That's when I learned American Sign Language."

King thinks that one of the great things about working with deaf people is their receptiveness to communication, especially when people take the time to talk to them so they can understand and also take the time to listen to them in return. he need for communication with hearingimpaired people is so great that while teaching at Harrah, the Oklahoma State Department of Education let King teach ASL as a foreign language credit.

"Being in teacher education, counseling, dealing with people and teaching kindergarten through 12th grade gives experience and background for the advisor. It makes it more fun for the students if real life anecdotes are used. It holds their interest."

"It doesn't matter whether in the classroom or counseling, you must deal with diversity. Education is the key to wiping out prejudice," King said.

CarePoint speaker highlights vigil —excerpted from the talk given by Michael Harmon (executive director of CarePoint) Dec. 1 at the AIDS candlelight vigil.

1. AIDS is a world-wide problem "It's not an epidemic, it's a pandemic. It spans the globe."

2. HIV causes AIDS "HIV—human immunodeficiency virus is what causes AIDS. And AIDS can sometimes take up to 10 years to be felt. People who are at risk need to be tested."

3. HIV is transmitted through intimate contact "We know that HIV infection is transmitted primarily through unprotected sexual intercourse. That's not unlike any of the sexually transmitted diseases. It can also be spread by infected blood or blood products, such as an infected mother to a baby during pregnancy."

4. Sexual transmission of HIV can be prevented "Sexual intercourse, whether heterosexual or homosexual is the major route of transmission of HIV The most effective way certainly is abstinence."

"Women can protect themselves by having condoms for their male partners, and there is a female condom available."

5. Infection through blood can be stopped "Blood for transfiision can be tested for HIV infection and it can be discarded. Needles, syringes and other skin piercing instruments can be sterilized or discarded after use and should not be shared with others. HIV is being transmitted through the sharing of needles."

6. How HIV is NOT transmitted "It is not spread by casual contact at work at schools, by touching, shaking hands or hugging. It is not spread through food or water, by sharing cups and glasses or by coughing and sneezing, or toilets. And it is not spread by mosquito or other insect bites."

CarePoint speaker Michael Harmon talks to students aboutAlDS during a candlelight vigil to support knowledge of the disease, and recognition of people who have died from or have HIV/AIDS. (Staff Photo by David McNeese)

7. Isolating people with HIV or AIDS is not the answer

Vigil held to remember people with HIV/AIDS

"Until medical research finds a cure, the only means we have is to educate ourselves and make sure our children know and eveiybody we love knows."

Candles flickered as a small group joined together last Thursday to hallmark the first campus-wide recognition of World AIDS Day. A candlelight vigil was held in UCO's Y-Chapel to mourn, discuss, and remember people with the HIV/AIDS virus.

"I think on World AIDS Day, it's good to reflect upon the (HIV) virus and how it has affected us and how it has grown," said Michael Harmon, executive director of CarePoint, a consortium of AIDS resources and education.

"World AIDS Day is a time of awareness, a time when you can

r

come together, a time when you can make it a priority in your life," said Harmon. "It's part of our lives, it lives among us. We must respect it. And the way we do that is educate ourselves."

Harmon spoke to the group about HIV, AIDS and the services of CarePoint.

Other speakers included Dr. Lewis Irving, UCO professor of sociology, and Terry Walker, president of Gay and Lesbian Alliance for Student Support (GLASS).

"It violates their human rights; it's discriminatoly. It doesn't do anything for the public."

8. Information and education is vital 9. AIDS and families "Protect and care for the ones we love. Families can become the most effective means of care and prevention. And it's so critical and so important that families that are bonded together and love one another learn all they can about HIV and AIDS so they can share it with their individual family members."

10. Stopping the spread of HIV "You can contribute to this global fight by making sure you understand the facts yourself and you help others at the same time."

NO SEX VS. "SAFE" SEX?

C

ontroversy rages between those believing condom education may help stem the spread of HIV and those who believe it increases sexual activity and promiscuity.

"Our attitude in our society is that if we teach you about something, you're going to do it," said Dr. Lewis Irving, UCO professor of sociology.

"They're having sex anyway, consequently they're having sex without knowledge. And they're making decisions based on inaccurate information, mythical information and no knowledge."

Irving equated the perception problem of sex education to some of the information he teaches in class.

"For example, in my human sexuality classes, I put a lot of effort into teaching about same-sex orientation."

"Do you think that the majority of my students are now going to become gay and lesbian people? Of course not," said Irving. any AIDS educators voice opinions that the safest sex is still no sex at all.

"The most effective way (of not being infected with HIV) is certainly abstinence," said Michael Harmon, executive director of CarePoint, a consortium of AIDS resources and education.

"But the reality is, that particular method of safe sex is not used by the majority of humans," said Hannon.

David Tackett, a UCO freshman practicing abstinence, cites several reasons to refrain hum having sex.

"A big fear, a big reason for me choosing to abstain is the fear of not only AIDS, but other problems like pregnancy and other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases)," said Tackett ontrasting the option of having safe sex to practicing abstinence, Tackett said he would choose being 100 percent safe versus the failure rate of condoms he claims is in the 33 percent range.

Tackett said the media should promote abstinence more and condoms less.

International students flockto UCO

By Rome Shubert Student Writer

Each year the international student population grows at UCO. Students from 87 countries, from Australia to Zimbabwe. attend the university.

Of the 16,039 currently enrolled students, L424 students are citizens of countries other than the United States.

Most international students come to the U.S. to obtain an education they can't get in their home countries.

Because their admission stan-

dards are higher than most American colleges, those abroad are much more difficult to get into.

Dr. Ronald L. Paddack, director of International Affairs at UCO, said he believed most international students have had older brothers or sisters who have had great experiences attending UCO. Aurangzeb Mustafa. president of the Pakistan Student Association. said UCO is very economical for students.

Most Pakistanian students feel UCO is their "sub-home," he said.

"Students feel very safe at UCO, and there is close interaction with other students here," said Mustafa.

UCO has a high representation of Chinese students, and many of them come to UCO to get a leg-up on a promotion or a higher salary, said Dou Yang, president of the Chinese Student Association.

"Most students are graduate students," said Yang. "Basically, UCO has a good relationship with China."

Ronny Holim, a student from Indonesia, said he came to UCO because this was the only school in the U.S. he knew about.

"UCO is good for international students, and UCO has a good environment."

New age of interactive art featured in exhibit

By John Ammons Student Writer

Along with sculpting and painting, interactive CD-ROM will also be presented at this semester's Graduating Art Student's Exhibit in the Central Museum of Art. The art show, consisting of works by 18 graduating students, will be on display through Dec. 15.

This show is different than most in the museum because it is designed to be like 18 individual art shows under one roof, said Will-

iam Wallo, museum director.

Medias for the show's 200 works include metal sculpture, pottery, water color, jewelry and photography. Styles range from fine arts to graphic arts.

"This is designed to be a capstone experience," Wallo said. "It will teach the students how to present their works for the future."

Jeff Rhoton, a graphics arts major, will not only be presenting 13 of his works at the show, but will have a CD-ROM connected to a television set.

The CD-ROM is a multimedia version of Rhoton's portfolio.

It not only consists of photos of billboards and other works he has designed, but Rhoton himself— via video.

"I'm the guinea pig for this project," Rhoton said.

The CD-ROM is designed so that the works of Rhoton can be easily sent to potential employers.

The employers will be able to use their own personal computers to study Rhoton's work.

Wallo said that if the trial with Rhoton goes well, eventually all graphic arts students will use the CD-ROM as a way to present their portfolio.

Students get juiced for electronic concert

By John Clanton

Student Writer The UCO composers' ensemble will present an "electrifying" student concert Dec. 8 at Mitchell Hall.

The concert, entitled "Volts of Confidence," is original musical compositions from students in Dr. Sam Magrill's electro-acoustic music class.

Electro-acoustic music adds electronics to the sound.

"It is electronic music mixed with acoustic music" said Magrill.

The students use a computer program called Digital Performer

to compose their music.

By using the Digital Performer and a Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) machine, a student records an ensemble of many different instruments onto a tape.

He then plays his own instrument live with the tape in the background for the concert.

In effect, each student is a oneman band.

Magrill's class is not required, but is taken by most music majors.

"Every year we put on two UCO composers' ensemble concerts," said Magrill.

This will be the first of the two concerts. The second will be performed May 3.

One-act plays performed, directed by UCO students

By Phil Harriman Student Writer

The UCO Theater Arts Department will present a series of free student performances Dec. 7 and Dec. 9 through Dec. 11 at the Pegasus Theater in the UCO Liberal Arts building.

"All evening performances will start at 8 p.m. and last about two hours. Sunday's show is set to begin at 2 p.m.," said Donald Bristol, UCO oral Communication professor.

"The audience will see a variety of works from contemporary theater, ranging from serious drama to off-the-wall comedy," said Bristol.

The Wednesday production schedule and the student directors are: "Triplets"—Tim Wilson, "You Can't Trust the Male"— Shannon Novotny, and "Haiku"— Presley Morton.

The Friday production schedule and the student directors are: "Home Free! "—Fwanda McMahan, "Identity Crisis"— Phil Manning, and "TheMarriage Proposal"—Theresa Brown.

Saturday's one-act play is the Tennessee Williams comedy, "The Case of the Crushed Petunias."

The play will be followed by an improvisational comedy show, said Bristol.

The performance Sunday will be improvisational comedy, said Bristol.
