`In memory of Fraternity members mourn the loss of a brother By David Hanigar

Copy Editor

rom behind the door, the alarm clock had moaned for almost an hour. Through a crack under the door, a hand spotted with blood could be seen. "It's just paint, because he worked construction," roommates had convinced each other the night before—curious about the light remaining on. "The old heater vent connects the rooms." thought Eric Tobin, roommate/friend. Pulling a towel from in front of the vent unveiled a face, eyes and mouth wide open, blood trickled from the mouth. Moments later, a kick to the door revealed a nightmare to a large number of people—many of them UCO students and alumni. Chris Williams, UCO student and member of the UCO chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity (ATO), was found dead in his room around 8:30 a.m. Dec. 5 with a shotgun wound to the chest. The shotgun lay beside him, a cleaning rod protruding from one barrel. Williams lived in a rent house behind ATO property with other UCO students and fraternity members. A gunshot was heard the night before,

"Chris has been one of the people who has pushed the alumni association to try to get us organized and start this thing. It's just too sad for his family and for our family that he won't be around to see it," he said. The lot was purchased Dec. 3, two days before William's death.

Williams held the office of pledge educator, managing and guiding those interested in joining the fraternity. But to members of the fraternity, he was much more.

Merry Christmas Mrs. Jones; your son was just killed by a drunk driver. Those were beautiful Christmas lights sir, but your house just burned to the ground. Happy holidays student; you just fell asleep at the wheel. s finals week approaches, students may look toward the only light at the end of a sleepdepraved tunnel: Christmas break. Yet some may never get there. With the holiday break approaching, some may look at it as the time for mistletoe-hung doorways and a potent cup of egg nog, perhaps a time to have their cheeks pinched by an oversized aunt or maybe even a chance to click off the alarm clock, catch up on sleep and function as a normal human being. For the next week, students will be found silhouetted in windows, behind a desk studying for a final, dozing in and out between another cold cup of coffee. Recalling the semester in a fog and a blur they may wonder, "Okay, what classes did I take this semester and why?" They will leave the campus rejoicing that the semester is over, happy that they have finally have the time to celebrate. That's what Christmas break is for, but try to do it safely. Try to get at least enough sleep this week to stay awake during the final and after it is all over... BE CAREFUL! Don't drink and drive. Practice safer sex. Take a deep breath, think about what you're doing and don't let the holiday stress get to you. Enjoy the holidays—but enjoy them alive.

Escape from here to where? • Writer seeks destination anywhere but Oklahoma Escape— we all seek it from time to time. And a perfect example of escape is the exodus from Paul Eddy campus that is about to take place. Soon it will all begin: the hectic race for home, for the comfortable surroundings that were left behind so eagerly. What is it we are looking for when we seek escape? What is it we are running from? Ever since I moved to Oklahoma at the age of eight, I have sought a way out. But as I grow older I am willing to sacrifice less and less to make that dream come true. I wanted to run away from it all at any cost, but now I realize having enough money to eat could be helpful. Life here might suck but the death over there probably isn't a whole lot of fun either. Yes, country still annoys me, but it seems to have made its own escape faster than I could, and now I can't completely escape it by running from Oklahoma. Yes, living at the epicenter of the shiny brass buckle of the bible belt disturbs me. I don't believe in the concept of a God,

and I don't really care to have Christianity thrust into my life all the time. But then, religion is everywhere I want to go. Yes, the conservative atmosphere seems stifling, but then it is also the probable cause for my being so liberally inclined. Yes, I dislike the lack of theatre and dance in the Oklahoma City area, but then the artists here are more accessible. Here, anyone could contact the director of Ballet Oklahoma. In New York, you're lucky to reach the ticket office. Still, I have plans. Plans that

Column do not include my living in Oklahoma. After all, there is almost nothing to do here. Throwing down a calf, castrating it and frying up its testis is not my idea of fun. And the people, well I have met my best friends here. Too bad most plan to head out as soon as degrees are in hand, and I don't particularly care to be left behind with the down-home country boy/girl population. I will never admit that I likeliving in Oklahoma, because I don't, but it is something to which I have become accustomed. I think that is what I have personally been trying to escape,

the fact that the longer I stay the more looks I give to each opportunity I have to get away. I remember when I would have left on $100. Now I would need between $1,500 and $4,000, depending on which way I jump. I have been running from apathy, from losing my dreams of chasing down a real life, from becoming another disillusioned Billy Joe. I still harbor a hope, a hope of something better for myself. It may however be that there is nothing better. And so as the campus empties with people escaping school, I'll pack away my notes in a ragged backpack, light up a cigarette, put a tired combat boot encased foot upon a beat-up skateboard and push off for home a couple of miles down the road here in Edmond, Okla. It may not be the escape of which I dream, but at least for a half hour or so I will feel that it is, I will feel that I am only a step or two away from Boston or New York or Chicago or some city which, in my mind, provides me all I seek. And next semester it will be the same, except I'll probably be even more inclined to accept life in Oklahoma. But I will still be dreaming of my great escape. —Paul Eddy

UCO announces schedule for graduation activities

Proposal made to lose drop/add charge from enrollment, replace with tuition hike By Matt Wehmuller Student Writer

By John Little Student Writer UCO has announced the schedule for graduation ceremonies. Commencement exercises will be held for the Colleges of Education, Math, and Sciences at 10 a.m., Dec. 17 in Hamilton Fieldhouse. The Colleges of Business and Liberal Arts will follow at 3 p.m. There will be 801 undergraduate and 253 graduate students receiving diplomas. Anita Gibson, Midwest City, and Semira Rahimi, Duncan, will serve as class marshals. For more information, call 341-2980, Ext. 2363.

A recent proposal by the enrollment office would eliminate the $3 per transaction drop/add fee and the $3 per transaction fee, and replace it by implementing a $.70 per credit hour fee increase to compensate for lost revenue. The proposal would eliminate nickel and diming students throughout the semester for necessary services, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management/registrar. In addition, Legere said it would

eliminate placing students on hold for minimal amounts that prevent services, and require students to bounce between offices to resolve fee issues. "We probably spend more money collecting than what we actually get in collection profits," said Legere. In 1993-94, the revenue raised from drop/add and transcript fees was $235,000. Based on an average of the last three semesters of enrollment, a $.70 per hour increase would generate an almost neutral revenue, raising just over $240,000. "The university would benefit since collection would be consolidat-

ed and centralized when tuition is due—making revenue more predictable for budgeting," said Legere. In addition, it would provide a service to UCO alumni that would enable former graduates to obtain official UCO transcripts at no charge. Students supporting or opposing this proposal are encouraged to express their opinions through their organizations, or by writing a letter to President Nigh. If the proposal is passed, it would be implemented by July 1, 1995, or by the beginning of the fall semester.

for graduate students, Stevens said. The continued availability of undergraduate scholarships, however, depends upon the purpose of the scholarship and its source. "Graduate students will be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress and eligible for financial aid consideration as long as they earn a 3.0 grade point average, " Stevens said.

"Graduate students must be in a minimum of five graduate hours to be considered forfinancial aid." Stevens also stated that graduate students can receive financial aid consideration for a maximum of three years following their entry into a masters program. Stevens said it is important for undergraduates to notify the financial aid office in writing

This ensures that they are properly classified as students who are seeking a master's degree and not as non-degree seeking students.

Some tips to help students dodge finals anxiety:

EXAMINATION SCHEDULE CLASS TIME DAY

Finals week is Dec. 12-16 and with finals comes stress, said Dr. Katherine Gage, director of career development and placement services. To help alleviate some stress students should prepare for taking the test ahead of time and not the night before, she recommended. Gage gave some helpful advice for students to practice while studying. They include: Avoid people who are talking about the test because this might cause you to become over anxious about the test causing you more stress.

• Know some relaxation techniques such as picturing your favorite place and imagining you are there, drawing an object you can see and counting backwards from 100. ✓ If it is an essay test , write down everything you know before you get started. Don't leave anything out. V Do not let the test overwhelm you. Take the test one step at a time. Answer the questions you know first, then go back and answer the ones you are not sure about. ✓ The most helpful hint is taking deep breaths from the stomach. This causes you to focus on your breathing and not your surroundings.

GET INSTANT CASH It's quicker than you think! After you've finished your textbooks, convert them to cash and make more books available for other students.

By Roy Howe Staff Writer UCO's Faculty Senate adjourned for the fall semester last week and introduced two proposals for consideration before the group reconvenes next year. The senate introduced and passed no proposals this semester. President Stephen Law, associate professor of humanities and philosophy, has urged quality over quantity with the senate's actions. The senate's proposals are directed to the president of the university where, if approved, become university policy. Of the two proposals introduced at the senate's regular meeting Dec. 1, one asks for a disclosure to all full-time faculty regarding supplemental payments by the university. These are salaries paid in addition to those allowed by their standardized rate card. The other proposal would give full-time faculty an option on the number of paychecks per year they receive. The senate, which expressed concern last year with a number

■I

of faculty positions that carry pay in addition to the Salary Schedule, is asking that these faculty positions be posted along with the updated Salary Schedule. The senate's proposal regarding paycheck options would give faculty the choice of receiving their regular pay in either nine or twelve payments. Faculty can currently opt for ten or twelve payments per year. The senate justified its proposal saying that under the current system, faculty complete 100 percent of their contractual obligation by mid May and only receive 90 percent of their pay by that time. The proposal regarding salary supplement notifications is to be acted on by the senate at their next meeting. The paycheck proposal was simply submitted for consideration. The senate did approve a resolution last month requesting UCO President George Nigh to take steps toward removing a 25 year-old censure imposed against the university. An assistant in Nigh's office revealed that Nigh had already agreed with UCO's AAUP to begin possible steps toward having the censure removed.

The early part of the 1994-95 season has not been particularly kind to the Central Oklahoma Broncho men's basketball team. UCO is 2-3 (prior to last night's game with Cameron) and off to their worst start since the 1988-89 season when the Bronchos went 9-18. Following in Head Coach James Sewards tradition, the Bronchos are averaging over 100 points per game (104.6), however the Bronchos have been outshot (47-44 percent) and outrebounded (267-231) by the opposistion, an opposition that is as tough as the Bronchos have seen in many years. "We have been playing very good, sound Division II programs so far this season," said Seward. "We've been playing a tough uurs N

schedule and I think its been a factor as to why we're 2-3. "We're a 2-3 team but we've been competitive and that's the main thing. We've had a chance to win all the games that we've lost. We're a relatively inexperienced team and I honestly think that we

It's been far from easy for the 1994-95 version of the Central Oklahoma women's basketball team. The Lady Bronchos are currently winless through six games this season (prior to last night's contest with Cameron) and are off to their worst start since the 198586 season when the Lady Bronchos finished 5-20. All this is the result of a backbreaking schedule that has turned the Lady Bronchos inside-out. You could say that it's the toughest schedule that the UCO women's team has ever faced. As a matter of fact, veteran Lady Broncho Head Coach John Keely said just that. "This is the toughest schedule that we have ever had in the history of this school," said Keely. "We have played top quality opponents in every game. At least three of the teams that have beaten

us are in the top 20." The Lady Bronchos first six opponents have a combined record of 25-11. Only one team (Lincoln) currently has a losing record (2-3). Nine of the Bronchos 16 opponents this season won 18 or more games last season. "I made this year's schedule out last year before Christmas," said Keely. "At that time I had a great center by the name of Shauna Tubbs and I made out the schedule with the idea of making it to the national tournament because of her. But I had to dismiss her after the christmas break (for not returning to practice) and now we have to survive with this schedule." The Lady Bronchos have been barely breathing, shooting 35.9 percent for the season (prior to last night's game with Cameron) and 61.2 percent from the three-point line. And it will not get easier. The Lady Bronchos will hit the road this weekend to face Washburn (3-1) and Emporia State (4-1) at the Emporia State Classic at Emporia, Kan.

Dual season begins for Broncho matmen By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer Though Central Oklahoma dominated the Ft. Hays State Open last weekend, there are still some unanswered questions, as the topranked Bronchos head into their first dual action of the 1994-'95 season, n Saturday against Wisconsin-Parkside and Northeast Missouri.

According to Head Coach David James, there are still questions as to who will step up at 150, 167 and 177. "We've got some positions that I am not real sure of right now as far as a few weights," said James. The team got off to a slow start this year with a lackluster performance at the Central Missouri State Open. But UCO has come on strong in the last two weeks with impressive showings at the

Las Vegas Invitational and the FT. Hays State open. "These tournaments gave us the opportunity to experiment at a few weights, one being 150," said James. At 150, UCO has two wrestlers vying for the top spot; sophomore Shawn Bateman, who placed fourth at Ft. Hays last weekend and is 3-2 on the season. Also in the hunt is former 167 pounder freshman Chad Beeson who is

holding an 8-9 record placing in two of the Broncho's four tournament appearances this season. "He obviously should be a 50 or 58 pounder, at 167 he is just giving up too much power and weight," said James of Beeson. Junior Chris Griffin should pull down a weight to 167, leaving junior Kyle Vandruff at 177 for this Saturday's duals. Aside from the questions at the middle weights, UCO's strength

lies in the first four weights 118 Keith Kizarr, 126 Brian Melchiori, 134 Mike Keim and 142 Jerry Best. These four have a cornbined record of 62-14 on the year. WUP's is known for their upper weights and wrestled UCO close, losing to the Bronchos 25-12. UCO has never lost to WPUor NEMU. UCO wrestles WUP at 11 a.m. and NEMU at 3 p.m. in Hamilton Field House.

Lone Star Conference officials shook up basketball scheduling for the future during the annual fall meeting in Dallas over the weekend. League officials voted to change to a split schedule for the 19951996 basketball season and to change the game days from Monday and Saturday to Thursday and Saturday. The change will force the schools in the conference to stop playing doubleheaders. The change was made so that the women's games could be played at the same time as the men's game.

"We voted against it the whole way," said UCO Women's Basketball Coach John Keely. "Don't get me wrong, we'd love to get the women's team in prime time, But when you take everything into consideration, such as the cost, we felt it just wasn't best for UCO." This year, as in years past, LSC members play men's and women's games on the same night at the same site. The new schedule changes that to same date and same time but different site. "Because of the split, there will be more home games," said Keely. "Along with wrestling, the Field House schedule will be cluttered causing everyone involved to perform double duty."

Help available through counseling services to fix those holiday blues Smokers 'deceived,' scientist says BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Would smokers still light up a cigarette if the label said it contained high levels of hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde and benzene? Dr. Jeffrey Harris of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, presented a mock cigarette label to a panel deliberating whether smokers are being deceived by the measurements of tar and nicotine printed on cigarette packages that imply some brands are healthier than others. Those measurements are the only ingredients listed on cigarettes today. Yet they don't reflect the amounts smokers really inhale, and they ignore carcinogens that don't necessarily decline as tar and nicotine levels are reduced, Harris said. One wonders whether the lack of that information is deceiving some people. said Harris. who wants cigarette labels — which already carry health warnings — as extensive as the ingredient list on his box of Cheerios.

Cocaine, condoms sewn into dog NEW YORK (AP) — For years, smugglers known as mules have been bringing drugs into the United States by swallowing condoms packed with cocaine. This time, the mule was a dog. Customs agents found 10 cocaine-filled condoms sewn into the belly of a sheepdog that arrived emaciated and lethargic aboard a plane from Colombia. "It was not our most common procedure, - said veterinarian Steven Weinstein, who operated on the dog he calls "Coca Cola." She's perked up considerably since the five pounds of cocaine were removed from her innards and will probably be put up for adoption, though she could join Customs' canine squad and search international shipments for drugs, Customs Service spokeswoman Janet Rapaport said Monday.

Oil found beneath Windsor Castle LONDON (AP) — It only happens to the rich. Pressured to reduce their public role and cut costs, Britain's royals have been under a dark cloud lately. But now there's a silver lining: oil has been discovered under Windsor Castle, the queen's weekend place. Seismic studies indicate a small oil field 1,000 feet beneath the 900-year-old castle 20 miles west of the capital. The queen has given Canuk Exploration Ltd. permission to sink a well in her garden to test reserves. If they're commercially viable, the government will have first dibs on royalties, because the castle is maintained at public expense. But Buckingham Palace said the castle could benefit, with Treasury permission. The Press Association national news agency said experts believe up to $1.5 billion worth of oil lies under the palace — but chances of raising commercially viable amounts may be only one in eight.

Mexican president reforms justice MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tackling one of the nation's most daunting challenges just days after his inauguration, President Ernesto Zedillo proposed constitutional reforms to overhaul Mexico's notoriously corrupt and inefficient justice system. The initiative calls for a complete overhaul of the police, new limits on Supreme Court and other judicial nominees, and creates a new agency to look into citizen complaints about prosecutors. "We Mexicans need, want, demand and merit an efficient system of justice," Zedillo said. "One of the greatest demands ... is the need for greater public security and protection of the citizenry." The proposal also sets up a special prosecutor's office to hear complaints from citizens about abuses or other misdeeds by prosecutors, either through negligence or corruption. Mexicans have long complained that suspects are often tortured or pressured into confessing, sometimes to nonexistent crimes.

By Jill Massey Student Writer Christmas is right around the corner, but along with all the joys the holidays bring, for many they also yield depression. "With the holidays (students) sometimes have a lot of expectations that don't always come true," said Jan Chapel, coordinator of counseling services at UCO. Christmas, coupled with the stress of finals, drives many students to Chapel's door. Chapel said she encourages students to talk about their feelings so that they may discuss strategies for coping and restructuring. Those experiencing five or

more of the listed symptoms for two weeks or longer should contact Jan Chapel at 341-2980, Ext. 2215. Students, faculty or staff may call or stop by her office located in Room 312 of the University Center anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays. Those seeking help must fill out intake papers and will be contacted shortly by a counselor. Chapel's advise to students whose friends suffer from these symptoms is to recommend help and to let them know they have a friend to whom they can talk.

Symptoms of depression include V Sadness or irritability T Loss of interest i favorite activities ♦ ;alterations in weight or d'iet 7-Yari4fions atterns Guilty; hopeless worthless feelings. Lack . of concentration; memory or decision making Fatigue.or .eneegy loss Restlessliess .Ornoticcabilr e de erease . in activity. V Suicidal .thOUghts.. "

Sergeant gives tips on how to use callboxes The UCO Police Department can assist stranded motorists with changing flat tires, unlocking cars, and they can also try to jump start a car if the battery is dead. "On a good foggy day, we get about 50 motorists assist calls for jumping batteries," said Sgt. Ted Jones, of the UCO Police Department.

"A lot of these are from people who forget to turn off their headlights," Jones said. Jones said students should feel free to use the callboxes located throughout the campus if ever they are in need of police assistance.

Instructions for use of the callboxes can be obtained from the

UCO Police department. They are: Step 1— Push and release the button to initiate the call to the Police Department. Step 2— Stand by, the Police Department will answer in a few seconds. Step 3— When answered, push and hold in the button to talk and release the button to listen. 4

WILLIAMS continued from front page "He was a good friend. He was a great (fraternity) brother. The first morning he was there (rent house), he came knocking on my door early in the morning; he had made us coffee," Swanson said. "He was the kind of guy that you always look forward to corning home to and talking—sharing viewpoints with. I looked up to him a lot. I came to him for a lot of things and he was always more than happy to help me out. "It's going to be kind of hard to imagine not having him there," he said. Although he may be missed, to his roommates, those that found him that morning, his death paints a vivid picture in their mind. "This morning when I got up, the minute I walked in his room, it set in right there. When you see it, there's no disputing that. It hits you in the face like a brick," Swanson said. A memorial was held the evening of his death at the frater-

nity. Tears dampened the faces of several members. Williams was described by several as "a guy who always had a smile on his face." Stories of his "spontaneous humor" brought smiles to weeping eyes. The balding of heads, piercing of ears and sleep-boxing of pledges were some of the memories put to words. Some of the stories may become legends, told in the pledge hall alumni are considering naming in his honor. No matter how and where he is remembered, friends say he will be remembered well. "It sounds so cliché. Whenever somebody dies, people are always trying to say 'Oh, he was a great guy,' or 'He was the guy who...,' but with Chris it's true," Montgomery said. "He was the guy that always made people laugh—who had one of the best personalities in the house. When you think of a good, down-to-earth guy that is everybody's best friend, he was it."

Services Chris Williams, 24, died Monday from a gunshot wound to the chest, apparently while cleaning his shotgun. A graduate from Oolagah High School, Williams was a senior sociology major at UCO. He was a member and pledge trainer at Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. Funeral services were held from 10 a.m. to noon today in Oolagah, Okla. A memorial scholarship is being created in his honor. Donations and questions should be directed to Aaron Montgomery, Alpha Tau Omega chapter president at 330-1602.

ATO purchases site south of Chowning By Iris Knight Student Writer

"Future Home of ATO," the sign said. The UCO chapter of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity (ATO) purchased a building site for their new fraternity house Dec. 3. "I just think that it's a very proud moment for the house," said William Ramos, chapter advisor and alumni association president. ATO will consider naming a pledge hall in the new building after Chris Williams, the brother who tragically died on Dec. 5, said Robert Bratton, vice president of the housing corporation and chairman of the board of trustees. The ATO alumni committee

worked on the plan for two years, he said. The project is so new that it doesn't have an address yet, Ramos said. The location is three lots south on Chowning, just south of the Sigma Kappa house, said Ramos. Part of the funds for the new building project came from the sale of the old fraternity house at 319 E. Main in Edmond, Bratton said. "We're in the middle of a large national fund-raising project to finance the new house." Donations will also be obtained from ATO alumni, said Bratton. Ramos said that they want more room to live and function. ATO wants to provide a place for every member, he said.

UCO staff member and her son reunited through battle against AIDS By Carol Cole Mills Managing Editor

I am so angry at even my ignorance of this disease...

ith World AIDS Day came poignant remembrances of loved ones lost to the disease. For one UCO employee, the day was one to remember a son lost to AIDS just ten days before. The middle son of Junie Dykes, receptionist in the UCO admissions office, succumbed to his fight with AIDS Nov. 20. Though they had talked over the years, Junie had not seen her son since he left home after high school. "Having not seen him in 17 years, then to see him like he was, then to lose him five weeks after meeting him again was a devastating experience," Junie said. Junie's son, David, was 6'2" and 185 pounds when she last saw him. When she saw him again in October, he weighed 71 pounds. She remembers her son as very handsome. "He was very popular no matter what he did or what he was involved in," she said. Junie said she hadn't seen her son because he felt uncomfortable with his gay lifestyle around his family. At 18, he left for JobCorp and did not see them again until he became ill. David had a friend call members of his family. "I asked God to give me the strength to see my son, because I

—Junie Dykes Receptionist, UCO admissions office

Junie Dykes knew he wasn't going to be the strapping, handsome young man that he was," said Junie. "When I saw him, he looked just like the African people you see laying in the streets from hunger, with the ribs and the skin and no flesh on his bones. "My main purpose for going there was to pray with him, to ask God to forgive him of his promiscuous lifestyle, and to tell God he was sorry," she said. "Because each of us is going back to dust."

Not haVing the funds to visit her son, Junie contacted the Open Your Heart agency, which provided her with round-trip airfare to New Orleans. "They knew me not from Adam, but I just told them `I need to get to see my son.' (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith) Within an hour, they had a round trip ticket. Two days later they brought it to this desk out here, with unlimited time to come back. "I thought, 'My God, this is beautiful,' how could you not, with that kind of support?" Hope that he would get better

kept David from calling his mother sooner, she said. "I think until he began to lose weight, memory, have the coughing and the colds—he wasn't able to work—he thought 'my mother will understand, she will. She's been through a lot and she's a pretty tough old girl. — While Junie was visiting her son in New Orleans, the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (RAIN) provided her with transportation and facilitated her stay. "They (RAIN) try to give them a better lifestyle as they're leaving this world, rather than just lie in bed and cover up, and then we as a society hope they go away." unie said she plans to do some volunteering and speaking to help combat AIDS through RAIN. "Someone who's in the first, second or third stage of AIDS really needs a friend, really needs some-

one to call, really needs somebody to write them a card every now and then. Say, 'you know I'm thinking about you, do you need anything?"' Educating the public about HIV and AIDS is vital, said Junie. "I am so angry at even my ignorance of this disease, like you could escape it as rapidly as it's growing in families now. "Just like gangs and drugs—it's going to be impacting us as families and impact us as a society. "It has nothing to do with race or color or creed, thank God it doesn't, and it's not confined to just gays." Junie said she was grateful for the support given her by her coworkers in the admissions office and UCO employees. "I have many sympathy cards signed by the whole department, just saying this shouldn't have happened to you, Junie," she said. "But I assure you, like the statistics are saying, it's going to (affect everyone). There's no doubt about it. "The more knowledge we have about it, the more precautions we take, we can put a limit to it," said Junie. "And it will be less devastating for the generation to come if we just educate ourselves."

For 25 years the Kappa Sigma Fraternity has been a part of the UCO atmosphere. The Kappa Sigma chapter at UCO was founded on Dec. 10, 1969 by 22 men. Starting with the first initiate, Larry Burch, to most recent, Jeff Warlick, Kappa Sigma has 400 initiates of the Kappa-Pi chapter of Kappa Sigma. President of the chapter at UCO, Russ Warrington, said Kappa Sigma has meant many things to him. "Living 350 miles from home, this is my home

away from home," said Warrington. Warrington said Kappa Sigma has been a place for him to challenge himself, acquire the skill of setting and achieving goals, and learn to take responsibility for his actions and everyone else's. Warrington said he sees the UCO chapter in 25 years as being expanded in capacity and having a better name in the Kappa Sigma national circuit. Vice-president Colby Ballard, said he sees the chapter in 25 years having a total membership of over 1,200. "With the support of the

faculty and the president, the Greek system will be a positive point to come to school at UCO," said Ballard. Former President Mark McMahill said this is the only family some guys know. "Kappa Sigma is their first home," said McMahill. McMahill said the chapter is a growing family. "I see the chapter having a strong alumni association," said McMahill. Kappa Sigma has existed on university campuses for 125 years, starting with the University of Virginia in 1869.

Long distance dialing to change Jan. 3 Beginning Jan. 3, all long distance telephone calls must be dialed using zero or one plus the area code and phone number. The change will not affect long distance calls into other area codes. However, the area code will have to be dialed to reach a long distance number within the same area code.

Currently, all area codes include a middle digit of either one or zero, like 918 or 405, said Harold Elston, director of telecommunications at UCO.
