Twenty-year-old law serves to protect students' records By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer , UCO's most recent interpretation of a 20-year-old federal law made posting grades by student ID or Social Security (SS) number a thing of the past. Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management, said he had long been concerned about UCO's former practice of using parts of students' SS numbers to post semester grades in public. At a recent conference of college registrars, Legere said the 1974 Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibited the practice. "One of the regulations that they identified was that you

could not give out grade information using personal identifiable information," said Legere. "Posting the last four digits could violate a student's right to privacy." The law was passed to deny non-qualified persons access to protected information such as grades, grade point averages and class schedules. Under the former system, anyone who knows a UCO student's last name and SS number could access any enrollment terminal on the first floor of the Administration Building for personal information. Dr. Albert Lynd, associate vice president of academic

affairs, said measures are taken to protect students' privacy. Grades will be mailed to the address students listed at registration and they can change the mailing address any time. Students who want to obtain grades before they are mailed may go to the Student Records counter with their photo ID. Legere said a voice-activated system is anticipated by spring. The more efficient system will save UCO $5,000 in mailing costs every year. For a preview of the system, students can call 1-800-4723369. They should key in 020-468919 for an SS number and 07OD 13-70 for the date of birth.

Credit service warns of high interest By Judy Simpson Student Writer Credit card debt can become a financial nightmare for many college students. Learning to work within a budget is the key to financial survival. According to Ray L. Hance, director of Education for Consumer Credit Counseling Service, credit card companies target students in the hopes of attracting long-term customers, but interest rates can be as much as three times higher than rates for established credit card

holders. If one uses a credit card at 18 percent interest to pay $1,000 for books and tuition and make minimum payments toward it, it would take close to 6 1/2 years to pay it off. The accumulated interest would cost you an extra $650. The Consumer Credit Counseling. Service suggests five strategies to avoid overextending one's finances. • Do not use credit cards for living expenses such as groceries, utilities or gasoline. • Keep your consumer debt

load at about 20 percent or less of your annual income after taxes. • Try to be able to repay your total consumer debt within a 12month period. • Avoid buying more of a product than necessary. • Avoid long payoff plans for autos. If students find themselves overextended, the Consumer Credit Counseling Service can help. It has an office located in Edmond at 2 East 11th, Suite 109. For more information, call them at (405) 341-4443.

EDITORIAL

Cynical press asks a cynical society for help omeone once said, "A cynical press begets a cynical society." Before all of us here at UCO begin seeing the proverbial glass as half-empty instead of half-full (or worse yet, totally dry), let us put our heads together and come up with a list of things we oughta be thankful for : Thank you, God, for the world so sweet Other than the gaping mudholes, the cracked sidewalks, the mindless detours, the surrounding debris and no confounded parking spaces, hey, it's a perfect world. Thank you, God for the food we eat Oh, you mean we can actually classify those grease-packed, cellulite-inducing, cholesterol-laden globs we get in the dorms that we have to pay a small fortune for as food? Thank you, God, for the birds that sing They would yodel even louder if we had the gazeboes and benches our student government promised us. Thank you, God for everything. Whaddaya mean, every... Oh, hush, you insidious little voice of the cynic. It's Christmas. It's the season for mistletoe, not thorns in the flesh. Goodwill towards all men, remember? Instead of reciting what's wrong with the world, let's dwell on what's right. Or go one better, let's think about how to set right those wrongs. Let's take the focus off ourselves and let our gaze fall on those who have seeped through the societal cracks: the afflicted, the outcasts and the downtrodden. So bring a can of food to the Vista office by the 15th, and we'll rustle up a food hamper or two for the needy and bring them—compliments of UCO—to the Hope Center. Put a "Merry" in someone's Christmas this year. A can of food may not teach a person how to "fish for a lifetime," but at least it warms the stomach and the heart for a day.

Student expresses ire at politician

s a senior at UCO I hope the next president of the Student Government Association (SGA) will take the job more seriously than it has been taken this year. The most recent actions of SGA president Jon Jarboe reflect what we detest in politics and those who are chosen to lead. At the graduation dinner Jarboe belittled his university's student publication with -nothing to support his allegations. He said students have had to put up

with mud,construction and of course, The Vista. He went on to say that he had offered the newspaper to his counterparts at OU and OSU and surprisingly enough, they wanted nothing to do with the paper. In my opinion, these remarks show a smallness of character and a self-serving attitude that UCO should not have to accept. Let the next generation of student leaders learn lessons from this kind of pomposity. By trying to belittle the voice of the students, The Vista, Mr. Jarboe

Studyabroad.com opens access to Internet education By Chris Robinson

Student Writer UCO students interested in studying abroad need no longer need to rely on programs offered at the university for information. Each year more than 100,000 American students go abroad to study. Until now, they have been dependent on their schools for

information regarding these programs. Liberty City Promotions, a campus marketing firm based in Philadelphia, decided to address this issue by creating studyabroad.com , a site on the Internet. Maithreyi Manoharan, assistant vice president of computing services and

telecommunications at UCO, said she believed this program would encourage more students to look into overseas study "because many students don't know about studying abroad." Studyabroad.com would provide a place where students could browse web sites containing listings of more than 500 institutions which provide

international educational opportunities. Acting as a clearinghouse, studyabroad.com would allow students to see other schools' programs and decide for themselves which is best for them. Programs can be freely accessed as long as they are open. There may be academic

requirements, but students now have equal opportunities across the board. Studyabroad.com has been online since September but it was officially launched Nov. 1, said Mark Shay, a marketing representative for Liberty City. Interested students can register online at http://www. studyabroad.com .

Students urged to apply for international study scholarships By Ruth Eppison

Student Writer Are you ready for a change of scenery? Would you like to travel abroad and see other countries while learning at the same time? A National Security Education Program (NSEP) scholarship may be just the ticket for you. "An NSEP scholarship can help prepare students for

successful careers by equipping them with critical language skills and cultural understandings," said Leslie Anderson, director of undergraduate scholarships for the NSEP. "The NSEP encourages students to 'internationalize' their educational resumes—an essential element in today's marketplace," said Anderson. The NSEP gives students opportunities to study in areas

And you'll have minor jobs where people will be affected by the way they get into the building and where they sit outside the building." The small construction sites

sprinkled over the campus this fall included the Communications Building, the Business Building, Mitchell Hall and campus landscaping. "Everything in the bond program will be underway by the end of December," Widener said, "We're beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

Old North renovation project 'brick by brick' effort By Robb Hibbard Guest Writer The University of Central Oklahoma College of Education will move classes from Old North to the new $4 million education building next semester. Erected in 1892, Old North was the first building in the state

constructed for the purpose of higher education and will be renovated soon, said UCO President George Nigh. "Old North will remain an integral part of our education process and we will continue to keep, protect and preserve our most recognizable and lasting symbol," he said. In order to raise funds for the renovations, which include

replacing all windows, repairing walls and floors and improving the overall appearance of the Edmond landmark, the UCO Alumni Association is selling personalized bricks that will comprise the walkway leading from University Drive to Old North. Two sizes of bricks are available. The standard four-byeight-inch brick allows three

lines per brick with 14 characters per line and the 12-by-12-inch brick allows eight line_ s with 17 characters per line. Eventually, said Alumni Affairs Director Donna Nelson, 10,210 bricks will form the walkway. "These bricks in the 'Walk to Old North' will be a lasting tribute to the significance of this building to Edmond and

Oklahoma higher education," she said. "Former and current students, professors, employees, Edmond residents and friends of UCO's mission are being asked to help the university rejuvenate this National Historic Site."

The Crossing Guard which stars Jack Nicholson, Anjelica Huston and David Morse, was written and directed by Sean Penn. Here's the plot.

released from prison. Now the fun begins. Freddy, a maniacal character with an unstable disposition has decided that he will kill Wilkes as revenge for his daughter's death. Ex-con Wilkes has found a shaky inner peace that keeps him cool and collected despite his overwhelming guilt and remorse. Freddy visits John's trailer and attempts to shoot him with an empty pistol. When this plan is foiled, Freddy gives John three days to live. There it is. The plot. How Penn took two hours to resolve this story and make those two hours feel like three and a half, I'll never know. As with most of his movies, Nicholson makes it worthwhile. In Penn's second attempt at directing, Nicholson and Morse shine through as the only stars

worth watching. Penn (who will always be Jeff Spiccoli in my book) uses the same old camera angles, but there are a few isolated moments when something new comes through. However, The Crossing Guard was plagued by a weak soundtrack, entirely too much slow motion filming and a predictable turn of events, save for the end. The conclusion: a satisfying blend of irony and forgiveness that was completely unpredictable and tugged at the old heartstrings. I'm just not sure if the end justified the means. The Crossing Guard is OK if you want a long, drawn out story with too many slow spots and a sad ending. — Review by John Clanton Staff Writer

Casino rolls dice of violence, crime Rating ****

The Twelve Days of Christmas will be

presented at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday

December 7, 1995

hen Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci team up for a movie directed by Martin Scorsese, the cinematic world in inevitably graced with a fantastic film. The world was blessed twice with these two actors in Scorsese's movies: Raging Bull, Goodfellas and now we've been given Casino. There was one thing I was leery of when I entered the theater, a preconception that could have kept Casino from greatness in my mind—Sharon Stone. Think about it. With previous films like Sliver, Basic Instinct and The Specialist, you have to wonder if she's good at anything else other than being naked. My fears quickly dissipated when the film began. All three of the main actors give knockout performances. Pesci plays the loose cannon, wild man that other gangsters fear, while De Niro plays the exwiseguy who tries to find the straight and narrow path. As usual, De Niro and Pesci

are above reproach. Sharon Stone gives her best performance ever as De Niro's drug-addicted, alcoholic wife. Casino is a film about power, money, corruption, gangsters greed and revenge. The plot is based loosely on the true story of Sam Rothstein (De Niro), who oversees the day to day operation of The Tangiers Casino Hotel in Las Vegas. Rothstein is unexpectedly joined by long-time friend Nicky (Pesci) as he desperately attempts to break away from his mob ties and his friends "back home." The story is told through narration by Rothstein with additional commentary by the nasal-voiced Nicky. Director Martin Scorsese directed the film with a variable cornucopia of 360 degree shots and lighting that burns out everything it touches. This makes the movie interesting to watch; it keeps your attention and the 360 degree shots give the film an awe-inspiring touch. However, there is trouble in paradise. Namely, Casino is three hours long. That's the length of a

normal movie plus half of another one. I usually recommend that the audience blow their hard-earned cash on the big screen. In this case, however, I'd recommend it on video so you can enjoy it in the privacy (and comfort) of your living room. Casino reveals all the explosive and • intriguing elements of Goodfellas. However, the length and the time frame of Casino is 10 years, as opposed to Goodfellas' 30 years. While Casino is a superb film with extrodinary acting, it is not quite as good as Goodfellas. Nevertheless, watching Casino was time well spent, but then again, any movie with violence, organized crime and Robert De Niro is worth the time. — Review by John Clanton Staff Writer Movie reviews are rated on the five star scale. Five is the best possible rating and one is the least.

Columnist looks forward to bigger, better things By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer This is my last semester. I graduate on Dec. 16—Love or hate this column, I'm outta here. Looking back, it's been a good year, and a lively one. If it wasn't for the construction, the mud, the Education Building and the "twenty to make" rule, it would have been boring. Think about it! We as students are lucky that we have the freedom to protest without being thrown in jail. And who wants a neat flowery campus and a "yes man" for a president anyway? A little

bit of controversy stirs up the soul and gets us all going—I love it and I've enjoyed every minute I've been a student at UCO. Just in case you all think I'm getting a bit sentimental about leaving, here's what I'm going to do upon graduation. 1. Pop a bottle of champagne (apologies to all Baptists, teetotalers and health nuts). 2. Take my Vista paycheck and spend it entirely on myself. New clothes, perfume, makeup and an outfit from Victoria's Secret. 3. Spend a romantic weekend with my husband at least 300 miles away from my kids. And last but not least— look for a job. Holy-moly, what a thought! Merry Christmas, everyone.

SGA ethics, promises questioned from within By Leslie Wakulich

Staff Writer Rules are made to be broken. Or is it followed? UCO's Student Government Association (SGA) seems to have these two confused. In the past weeks, the SGA has been riddled with hostile accusations and threats, complemented with the most popular of curse words. It all began three weeks ago. The Senate Room was buzzing with the happy chatter of senators preparing for their weekly meeting. As the meeting came to a close, it became apparent that several senators' names were fresh on the list for expulsion due to unexcused absences from the meetings and office hours. A shouting match between President Jon Jarboe and the records clerk, David Tackett erupted after the meeting. Jarboe accused Tackett, who is responsible for keeping tabs on the senators' absences, of playing favorites. At the previous meeting, Tackett had motioned to adjourn before he read the records. Jarboe said Tackett did this in order to protect his friend, Ben Harris, who had missed several meetings and had not yet submitted a request for excusal. Harris said, "That's pretty smart parliamentary procedure," referring to Tackett's motion to adjourn. "If he got to it (reporting the records), he knew he was going to have to report me."

Jarboe apparently, did not agree and on Nov. 20 told Tackett it was "grounds for being impeached." Using language that would put any sailor to shame, Jarboe went on to question Tackett's ethics as a senator. The following week, the senate voted in favor for an audit of the senate body's records. Harris and Tackett both claimed it was a "witch hunt." The senators who opposed Tackett's procedures seemed excited about the audit and confident that they would find something to incriminate him. The audit was to be completed by the final â&#x20AC;˘ meeting of the semester on Nov. 27. The meeting began and Senator Rob Myers motioned to have Tackett's speaking privileges revoked for the final meeting. He said he did this simply to"embarrass him a little." Myers was the senator who initiated the audit. The motion was voted on and failed, wasting nearly 15 minutes of the hour-long meeting. But there was still the little problem of an audit to deal with before the semester came to a close. The audit had not been completed yet, therefore Harris motioned that the Senate adjourn "sine die." This means that all unfinished business would be scraped from the table and the

senate would have a fresh start next semester. No objections were made. No objections were made? What happened to all those people who were determined to take serious action against those who broke the rules? And their president, who made such tactful accusations only seven days earlier, had no objections? Granted, Tackett will not be returning to the senate next semester and expulsion would serve no purpose. But isn't it the principle that's important? Is the senate trying to send a message that it will allow rules to be broken and threats to be made without consequences? With nothing but broken promises and wasted time, these past few weeks are beginning to resemble Jarboe's campaign for President and the platform on which he ran. Let's Lice a look at the "6 by `96" plan that got him elected: "1) $1,000,000 Recreation Center (similar to facilities at OU and OSU). 2) Big-name entertainer brought to campus (Seinfeld, Foxworthy, Spin Doctors, etc.). 3) Central Stampede/Battle for the Bronze (campus-wide week long event with softball, volleyball, entertainers, etc.). 4) Student Housing Improvement Act of 1995-96. a) 24-hour study area with Includes:

and Vacation Packages_ Book NOW for Spring

Break '96 with plenty of vo 4 freebies, parties & more!

unfinished business is left up to the vice president. Surely Dustin Gregory will do fine, after all, he is currently coordinating the Battle for the Bronze (promise #3). Hopefully, he has learned a lesson that his predecessor missed out on: a little tact and some respect for your peers will accomplish more for you in the long run than a biting tongue and a lot of hot air ever will.

COSAFE speakers stress communication By Cho Hee Kyoung Student Writer

To encourage students to learn more about verbal and physical communication between sexes, two informative lectures were offered by UCO's Campus Organization of Students for a D r u g - F r e e Environment(COSAFE) Nov. 28 and 30. A 50 percent divorce rate, AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, single parent families and high unplanned pregnancy and suicide rates in this decade are the signs of defective communication skills and little knowledge about relationships between sexes, said Kate Leader, a member of COSAFE. Leader is in charge of the lectures. On Nov. 28 Dr. Rob Doan, a psychology professor, taught"The Language of Love." Doan used John Gray's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus as a guide for improving

communication and getting "what you want in your relationships." Doan explained to men that women need to feel safe in a relationship. Women, on the other hand, have to understand that men need some time alone. Men and women have slightly different styles. For example, "men like to work thing out by themselves whereas women want to talk about it and develop strong relationships," said Leader. On Nov. 30, Dr. Lewis Irving, a sociology professor, lectured on"The Biology of Love." Irving covered the joy and dangers of physical love and answered questions about lovemaking. People need to understand more about their own and their partners' bodies so as to enjoy full physical relationships, said Leader. The lectures were held in the University Center in the Will Rogers Room from 10:45 a.m. to noon.

Gays on campus: By Kelley Gary College Press Service

The scene seemed like any other alumni gathering: former classmates caught up on old times, while others networked, exchanging business cards. But in addition to each guest having graduated from the same college, the group of Northwestern University alumni gathered recently at a Chicago restaurant also had something else in common: they were gay. Increasingly, universities and colleges are ready to recognize their gay and lesbian population after years of ignoring the special needs of these alumni. "The college environment has changed in the last 10 years," says Charles Katzenmeyer, chairperson of the 10th reunion committee at Northwestern

Universities accept, unite alumni

The college environment has changed in the last 10 years. Now, 30 bisexual or gay freshmen show up ready to be out at school, to be gay on campus—as 18-year-olds. —Charles Katzenmeyer chairperson of the 10th reunion committee Northwestern University University. "Now, 30 bi-sexual or gay freshmen show up ready to be out at school, to be gay on campus—as 18-year-olds." Because this "openness" is a recent sociological event, often older gay alumni say they feel disconnected from their colleges, "that their college and current lives don't mesh," says Katzenmeyer, "and we wanted to recognized these people." So following the lead of other universities, such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton, Northwestern University welcomed home their gay and

lesbian alumni during Homecoming week this fall with the Inaugural Gay and Lesbian Alumni Reception. More than 200 people attended the two-hour reception. "We were delighted with the turnout. There was a really diverse crowd and tremendous spirit in the room," says Katzenmeyer, "[Gay] alumni suddenly felt accepted." For the colleges, it's not bad for fund raising, either. Many prominent gay alumni who, pre-homecoming had little or nothing to do with the

university, now have taken an active interest in the school, says Katzenmeyer. The New York thespian, Charles Busch, a Northwestern alumni, has even agreed to teach the occasional theater class. Also, by working with reunion participants, Northwestern has created a mentoring program and database designed to network gay students and alumni. Recognizing gay alumni seems to be an idea whose time has come on many campuses. But considering the closeted

years of the past, how do you know who to invite to reunions? "Excuse me, are you gay?" isn't a question all alumni seem willing to answer or want to be asked. "It's very challenging, a tremendous hurdle," says Katzenmeyer. "We used the multi-strategy approach. First, we included a notice in the homecoming invitation that went out to 20,000 people. It included a phone number and e-mail address. We had some interest from that. "On homecoming weekend, people re-learned of the event. The third step was we gave a bunch of invitations to people of all ages to give to their friends to pass along, and well—word of mouth is pretty powerful. We also made special appeals to the local gay publications. Local advertising was essential." 4

Askins assist in No. 1 upset By Scott Moore Sports Writer Central Oklahoma assistant men's basketball coach Jim Askins knows the University of Southern Indiana. Askins spent three seasons at Kentucky Weslyan as an assistant and regularly battled the Screaming Eagles for the championship of the Great Lakes Valley Conference. "I know their personnel real well and I know their style of play real well," said Askins. "I'm very familiar with what they do there at Southern Indiana." Saturday night UCO (5-0) upended Southern Indiana 116-114 in the finals of the Kenny Kent National Shootout at Evansville, Ind. The screaming Eagles are the defending Division II national champs and were the top-ranked team in the nation. "I knew what it took for us to beat them while I was at Weslyan," said Askins. "(UCO head coach) Jim Seward and (assistant coach) Rod Wright did look to me for information because of my experience against. Southern Indian. I told them some of the things that Southern Indiana does and the

type of game they play and my opinions on what we needed to do. "I think my input helped but Seward made all the final decisions and the players had to execute well and they did." The Bronchos led USI by as much as 13 points in the second half but UCO needed a last second jumper by senior guard Tyshon Fisher to win. "Southern Indiana ran the same offense that I faced at Weslyan," said Askins. "Our players executed our game plan extremely well. This is a huge win for this program. Our players feel that they can compete with anybody now." UCO will face Cameron University (5-2) in Lawton tonight at 7:30 p.m. "Cameron is extremely talented and extremely athletic," Christy Heavin shoots over two Falcon. defenders. UCO will said Askins. "They are bigger take on Emporia State on Saturday. (Staff photo by Bill and bulky than we are but they Wilkinson) can still run and jump with our guys.

Hot or cold. That's how UCO head wrestling coach David James describes his Bronchos at this point of the 1995-96 season. "We've been inconsistent in our performance so far this year," said James. "We've either been hot or cold. At times we look really good and at other times we don't, and this is a concern." The Bronchos went through one of their "cold" periods Friday and Saturday at the Las Vegas Invitational. The four-time defending NCAA Division II national champion UCO finished 18th among an elite field consisting of some of the top Division I teams m the nation. The Bronchos placed two wrestlers in Jerry Best at 142 pounds (fourth) and Shawn Bateman at 150 (sixth) "I'm proud of the accomplishments of Best

and Bateman," said James. "But the biggest disappointment was that on Friday we still had six wrestlers alive in the consolation round but we didn't win a match. Overall I'd say that our performance was just OK." UCO will host the Broncho duals Saturday at Hamilton Field House in their home debut. The top-ranked Bronchos will face No. 9 Wisconsin-Parkside at noon and NAIA Missouri Valley at 2 p.m. Wisconsin-Parkside and Missouri Valley will start the day with a dual at 10 p.m. "The dual against Wisconsin-Parkside is very important because it might affect seeding purposes at the national tournament at the end of the season even though this is just December," said James. "We won't see this team again this season. So it's important to perform well against them because it might affect how the bracket works at the national tournament. That's no guarantee, but it might happen."

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, a 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! Faculty, Administration, Campus Ministers and Staff at the University of Central Oklahoma Sylvia Allen Personnel Services

Former SGA president attempts clarifications with Q&A would like to address some concerns that were pointed out by student and faculty protesters over the recent weeks concerning the "twenty to make" policy handed down by the administration. I was absent during the actual protests and did not get the opportunity to make my opinions known. Let me address some ludicrous points made in a flyer distributed throughout the Liberal Arts Building, written by a passionate but misinformed UCO student, Robert Taliaferro. Although I was not in attendance, I understand this propaganda was also read aloud at the protest. The protesters claim that a journalism student was denied access to President Nigh and told the administration had no comment on the issue. So I went to the President's Office and asked each and every employee at the office if at anytime during their

employment they had said "no comment" to anyone or refused access to the president unless there was a scheduling conflict of some sort. The answer I got was, of no surprise, a resounding NO! This shoddy accusation has no grounds or merits. It is merely the hearsay of an unnamed source that probably does not exist. The protester also said that "most faculty on campus are opposed to this edict but due to a 'gag order' and the 'sensitivity' of the issue cannot risk promoting the understanding of real educational learning to the administration. Most faculty are opposed to this new position but only speak out in faculty senate meetings or amongst themselves." I have some questions about this statement. How would a student know these things without being told by faculty? Who are the faculty members who are upset? Why don't they say what needs to

be said instead of using students as a mouthpiece? They have tenure, don't they? According to Tom Guild, UCO professor and state president of the professors' union (AAUP), tenure is designed and should be kept for the sole purpose of maintaining academic freedom. According to the protesting student who was obviously informed by faculty, tenure must not protect academic freedom. So why do we have it? As for the dispute of the contractual correctness involved on the part of UCO and the threat to get the ACLU involved on behalf of the protesting students, I have but .two things to say: 1) it has no grounds because of the distorted interpretation of the law set forth by Mr. Taliaferro 2) Mr. Taliaferro mentioned in the Thursday, Nov. 30 , 1995 edition of The Edmond Sun, (notice I cited my sources), that he would "pray for Edmond, the state of

Oklahoma, the students, the parents and the business/economy." Although I think this is a fine gesture and could surely not hinder his cause, it is quite ironic that Mr. Taliaferro choose to pair up with the ACLU, an organization famed for such noble gestures as removing the cross from the Edmond city seal, protecting child pornographers and trying to legalize prostitution. Taliaferro said, "I see in the long term a loss of credibility." The only loss of credibility comes with a partnership with the ACLU, in my opinion. There are also several questions asked in regards to monetary concerns by protesting students. They were as follows: QUESTION: Where did the administration go for their retreat?

Why isn't space provided by the RESPONSE BY master plan being used for UCO STUDENTS: Nigh should have benefit? REAL ANSWER: THIS IS A refused the salary increase, but if he did accept it, he should have LIE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

QUESTION: Is George Nigh REAL ANSWER: I am glad running for the U.S. Senate? How this question was asked because can he campaign and run UCO at the answer illustrates exactly how the same time? much President Nigh really cares REAL ANSWER: Have you about UCO, its students and their read a newspaper or watched the futures. Nigh has personally news in the last three months? contributed nearly $200,000 of George Nigh has said time and his own money to the University time again, as well as made a Foundation over his tenure at press statement saying he will not UCO, buf I am not sure if he be running for the U.S. Senate. consulted his tax adviser. In regards to the gross,

earmarked funds they could do the same thing. QUESTION: Why did George Nigh not refuse his automatic salary increase of $12,000?

slanderous and libelous statements implicating George Nigh embezzling money from the UCO reserve fund, I can only say that I am deeply disappointed in both the intellect and judgment used by anyone who made or believed these statements. Many of the protesters will say they did not mean it that way, but the fact is it sounded that way, and that is what is important. When you talk about audits and missing funds, that is what you mean. By the way, if Robert Taliaferro is so concerned about taxpayers' money not being spent properly, why does he want to spend nearly $100,000 for an audit that could be done for free by merely looking into public records? I, on the other hand, am genuinely concerned about taxpayers' money. So I took the time to look up the information

from the audit performed last month by the board of regents that proved the falsity of Mr. Taliaferro's allegations. I found that the reserve fund that was supposedly down to a mere $600,000 according to Taliaferro, was really sitting pretty at $4.6 million with a projected amount of $2.1 million by June 30, 1997. These are simply projections subject to change. Since Nigh's tenure began, the reserve has gone from $7.6 million to $4.6 million. Most of the $3 million was spent on worthy additions to the university like, faculty pay increases and instructional costs. My point is that before students or faculty or anybody else goes around making serious accusations, they better make sure they can back them up or at least go and communicate with the person who is being accused.

Neither of these things were done. The underlying reason for the policy set forth by the administration is that we do have a funding problem at UCO. It is due to the fact that the State Board of Regents does not have an equitable per capita funding policy, but rather a 'complex,' slanted way of allocating funds. We can solve this problem if we will focus the blame on where it belongs rather than making statements and accusations that ruin our credibility. I ask the students to get loud and yell, but yell at the group of people who are screwing up, not at the ones who are trying to make the best out of a bad situation. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Ben Harris Former UCO Student Body President President of the President's Leadership Council

Pet names bring spirit to familiar places By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

What's in a nickname? Plenty, if the pet names bestowed on U.S. cities are anything to go by. Nicknames are terms of endearment and familarity. They reflect the state's rich past as well as hold promise for its future, and give the states and their people a personality to identify with. Oklahoma is known by most as "The Sooner State." But Oklahoma bears several lesser known nicknames as well, such as "The Boomer State," am), "The Land of the Red People." Most cities and states bear one unforgettable nickname, but many states have numerous others that are either forgotten or unheard of. Oklahoma's neighbor, Kansas, has been dubbed "The Jayhawker State" after the outlaws or "jayhawkers" during the Civil War. Oklahoma's southern neighbor, Texas, had been previously tagged "The Jumbo State," a reign which ended with Alaska's admittance into the Union in 1959. It is nowdubbed

by most as "The Lone Star State," but how often do you still hear its most famous city referred to as "The Big D?" Another state citing "big" in its nickname is Tennessee, referred to by some as "The Big Bend State," spawning from the native Indian translation of the Tennessee River. The state of New Mexico displays one of its nicknames on the state license plate: "The Land of Enchantment." New Mexicans have also called their home "The Land of Delight Makers" and "The Land of Opportunity," which is also the official nickname of Arkansas. Chicago is probably best known as "The Windy City," but contrary to popular belief, it's not because of the air current. It was a different type of hot air that won the city its memorable name. In 1893, the residents of Chicago were bold enough to fight New York and other larger cities to host the World's Columbian Exposition. The editor of the New York Sun, Charles A. Dana, is credited for bestowing that name upon Chicago.

"The Windy City" has been formerly known as "Mudtown," "Big Town" and "Star City." Many people have their own opinions as to which state should receive the dubious honorary title of "The Nation's Most Corrupt State," but surprisingly enough, the winner is Rhode Island. The state was christened with the nickname to "commemorate" the corruption that was rife in the state during the turn of the century. Twenty-eight states have conferred a feminine royal title upon their city or state. For instance, the "Queen City of the East" is Bangor, Maine, and Los Angeles was formerly recognized as the "Queen of Cow Countries." Both Virginia and Ohio claim the title "Mother of Presidents" because each boasts of seven natives who made it to the coveted armchair in the Oval Office. Another nickname shared by more than one state is "The Alligator State." Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas have all claimed their right to the name. Of these nicknames, the most
