5 run for student body office Elections to be held April 12

lections for the leadership of the UCO Student Association (UCOSA) will be April 12. "I hope everyone comes out and votes...the student body elections are important and you want to have a qualified candidate that represents you well. It is easy to vote, it takes two minutes tops," said Jarrett Jobe, UCOSA president. The elections for president and vice president are contested. UCOSA senator Angie Clemens, junior Patricia Gooden and UCOSA vice president Daniel Harris are competing for the presidency. Clemens is a junior majoring in secondary English education and wants to improve student representation. "UCOSA (is) the representative of the students to the administration, not the administration to the students," Clemens said. Patricia Gooden is a junior majoring in broadcast journalism and wants more funding for education-related areas and financial relief for students paying out of state or

Patricia Gooden international tuition fees. "We international students pay almost double what others pay," Gooden said. Harris is a junior majoring in financial planning and advocates a parking garage, "at least one, if not more" 24-hour computer labs, and a "true dead week." "I would bring experience to the position," Harris said. In the vice presidential race, UCOSA speaker of the house Chris Cook is running against deputy speaker of the house Joe Smaligo. Cook, a junior majoring in pre-medical biology, wants to improve student life, parking, and the emergency call boxes, "They still do not work, it's a bad system and it's unsafe," Cook said. Smaligo, a sophomore majoring in communications, wants to improve how students are represented and achieve more independence from the university for off-campus Greeks. "I don't think that houses off campus should be governed by UCO," Smaligo said. The voting will take place in the University Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

soon have a potentially cutting-edge combination of geography and technology in their class schedules, provided by a familiar name in world studies. Thanks to a grant from the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, UCO will be offering "Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Social Studies Education." The class will instruct students in how GIS technology is used to detect, among other things, patterns in crime, population, commerce, and vegetation. "GIS really draws on students' interest in computers," said Dr. Daniel Donaldson, the assistant professor who will be teaching the class. The GIS class will be offered to all classifications of students, from undergraduates to professional teachers, beginning this summer. "One of the goals of the class will be to demonstrate to future social studies teachers the value of GIS technology as a teaching tool." The $8,000 grant provided by National Geographic comes 12 years after the creation of their philanthropic foundation. Donaldson cites the uniqueness of the program as a reason the grant was awarded. Established on the 100th anniversary of the National Geographic Society, the Education Foundation began with an initial grant of $20 million from the Society. The organization's budget has grown significantly since, thanks to the contributions of private and

corporate donors. More than $3 million is available nationally to programs who work towards the revitalization of both the teaching and learning of geography. In the past, over 90 percent of these funds have been earmarked for a network of state-based geographic alliances. In addition, the Education Foundation has awarded grants to selected school districts and to teachers working with the alliance. The Education Foundation has since established state endowments in Colorado, Mississippi and Oklahoma, aiming to increase geography education in these states by each raising $500,000 in matching funds from local public and private funds. One of the traits that the Foundation looks for in a potential recipient is the advancement of geography education through technology. The enhanced competence of K12 teachers in geography is another stipulation in the grant's requirements. "The class is specifically aimed at teachers or potential teachers," Donaldson said. "It will show teachers how to use technology to better teach geography concepts in all areas within the social studies." Donaldson also noted that the GIS class is potentially the first model of its kind in Oklahoma. The class will ultimately include up to three visits per semester from educators throughout the region who employ GIS in their social studies classes.

Sports Bronchos struggle against the Bulldogs

UCO Baseball splits

WEATHERFORD, Okla- Struggling Central Oklahoma dropped a pair of heart-breaking Lone Star Conference North Division decisions to Southwestern Oklahoma Saturday as the Bulldogs won the last three games of the two-day, four game series. The Bronchos fell behind 4-0 early in Saturday's first game, but came back to take a 5-4 lead after four innings as Matt Wright drilled a three-run home run. SWOSU answered, tying the game with a run in the fifth, then scoring twice in the sixth to take the lead and the victory. UCO fell behind quickly again in the second game , trailing 4-0 after two and 8-2 after four. But the Bronchos came back with eight runs in the fifth and sixth innings, getting six in the sixth to take a 10-9 lead as Brent Gigerich had two-run double. Again the Bulldogs came back, scoring twice in the bottom of the seventh to pull out the one-run victory.

The Bulldogs added four more runs to secure the win. In the first game of the twinbill, it was all UCO as the Bronchos routed the Bulldogs 12-0. Bubba Brown paced UCO, hitting 3-for-3 with two RBIs, while Wright went 2-for-4. Kyle Dover picked up his seventh of the season, to run his record to 7-1.

Microsoft Scholarship aids American minority students By Zach Anderson

Stag

portion of the mighty Microsoft empire has been donated to aid minority students pursuing college degrees. The Gates Millennium Scholars is a new scholarship program being offered to minority students seeking to further their education. The program is aimed at increasing the number of low-income African Americans, Asian Pacific Americans, American Indians/Alaska Natives, and Hispanic Americans enrolled in and completing undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The program is funded by a direct grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. It is designed to promote academic excellence and enhance access to higher education for low-income minority students. Unlike many scholarship programs, the Millennium Scholars is open to all student classifications. "The unique thing about this scholarship is that it's open to high school seniors, continuing (college) students and graduate students," said Ronnie Hopkins, assistant director of Prospective Student Services and Scholarships. "Most of the time, I'll get scholarship information and collect all the applications, but then I can nominate only one or two students," Hopkins said. "With this scholarship, anyone who wants to apply can apply, regardless of classification. So we have the opportunity to award several scholarships." The Millennium Scholars is one of the largest

The unique thing about this scholarship is that it's open to high school seniors, continuing (college) students and graduate students. Ronnie Hopkins Assistant Director of Prospective Student Services scholarships available. "It (the scholarship) pays for just about everything," Hopkins said. "It's a huge, huge scholarship. It's paying for tuition and fees, books, housing, and other related expenses." "Usually, when students get a 'full ride,' it's just a tuition waiver and they end up paying for something. With this scholarship, it is truly a full ride scholarship." This is the first year the Millennium Scholars program is available to students. To date, 12 students have applied for the program at UCO. Hopkins is hopeful that participation in this program will lead to more scholarship opportunities for UCO students. "What I'm hoping is that by participating in this program, we may be able to get on mailing lists for more foundation scholarship programs," Hopkins said. "By turning in 12 qualified applicants, more than

likely we will be getting some information from other foundations to pass on to our students." Hopkins is happy with the ideas behind the program, and he hopes that more students will take notice of this opportunity. "This is one of the better scholarships that we have had. Our biggest challenge is just getting this information out to students." In order to be eligible for the Gates Millennium Scholarship, students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.3, be accepted into or enrolled full-time at a university, demonstrate both financial need and leadership commitment through participation in community service, extracurricular activities or other activities that reflect leadership abilities. For more information on the Gates Millennium Scholars program, contact the UCO Prospective Student Services and Scholarship office at 974-2727.

Teacher of the Year speaks at Kappa Delta Pi dinner By Allison Franklin

Stair'Titer

klahoma's Teacher of the Year, Mitsuye Conover, was the guest speaker at the new member initiation dinner of UCO's Kappa Delta Pi (KDP) chapter held April 4 in the University Center Ballroom. As a veteran in the teaching field, Conover spoke words of wisdom to the 31 future teachers who were being initiated, said Dr. Brent Wendling, an assistant professor of professional teacher education at UCO. "Her speech was part motivational, part inspirational and partly about the nuts and bolts of teaching," Wendling said.

"She shared her early mistakes as a teacher and was very straightforward about the difficulties of teaching. "She did what every good teacher does â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she told us what she knew." Conover, a history teacher at Bartlesville High School, was named Oklahoma Teacher of the Year last September. She credits her mother and her own favorite teacher, Mrs. Slade, for helping her overcome the barriers that lay in her own path toward a teaching career, including spending time in. a Japanese internment camp as a child. Conover, who has been teaching almost 30 years, is one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year, which will be awarded May 11,

Her speech was part motivational, part inspirational and partly about the nuts and bolts of teaching. Dr. Brent Wendling Assistant Professor, Professional Teacher Education â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

she would continue to teach or take time off. "Even though she lost the most precious thing in her life, she realized she had a deep passion and love for teaching students," said Sandy Bates, director of information for

UCO's KDP chapter. "Teaching gave her a reason to get up in the morning. It truly healed her," Bates said. Ever since then, teaching has given Conover a balance and a focus in life, Wendling said. KDP is an international organization that was founded in the early 19th century to encourage professional, intellectual, and personal standards, and to recognize outstanding contributions to education. Many great educators, including Jean Piaget, are KDP members, Wendling said. UCO's chapter of KDP, called Gamma Omega, was founded in 1935. Any studentIr See CONOVER,

Gamma Omega has 175 active members, said Wendling, who is one of three chapter sponsors. At the dinner, Gamma Omega initiates were able to personally interact with Conover. "One of the initiates, who is a student teacher, went up to her (Conover) to discuss a problem she was having with a student," Wendling said. "It was a marvelous scene to see a neophyte teacher having a dialogue with a veteran teacher of such high esteem." Bates, who is a junior majoring in secondary English education, said she has been on an adrenaline rush since hearing Conover speak. "She is who I want to be when I grow up," Bates said. Gamma Omega initiates were as follows: Erin Altebaumer, Sara Archer, Amy Barker, Bates, Tammy Braly, Monaic Brooks, Vicki

Bushey, Patrice Cleem, Jan Davis, and Kimberly Derby. Also, Andrea Farriester, Edmund Gert, Mary Golden, Susan Greeson, Richard Inga, Brent Johnson, Karen Lockett, Ashley Makes Cry, Bruce McBride, Elizabeth Neidel, and Elizabeth Pappano.

Following Conover's speech at the initiation dinner, the Gamma Omega chapter awarded Dr. Dana Craig, a math and statistics instructor at UCO, with the Honor and Educator award. Chapter sponsors nominated UCO educators for the award, and chapter members voted to select the winner. Two Earl Newman scholarships for $200 were also awarded at the dinner. Recipients were Stacey Childers and Summer Gordon, who are both student teachers and Gamma Omega members.

To qualify for an award, grants must be routed through the Office of Sponsored Research and Grants, and publications must be submitted prior to January 31 of each year. "In order to receive matching funds from the Oklahoma State

Regents for Higher Education, grant requests have to go through our office," Radke said. UCO Faculty members who received awards through the incentive program were honored at a campus reception on March 21 attended by Don Betz, vice president of Academic Affairs. "You and your colleagues have demonstrated your commitment to excellence," Betz said. The incentive award program provides $250 for faculty who apply for external funding, $500 for faculty who apply for and receive a state or local grant, $750 for faculty who apply for and receive a national competitive grant, and $250 for faculty who are published in an externally reviewed journal.

Peace Corps recruits students in University Center By Robyn Lydick

SeniorWriter

many people the name "Peace Corps" brings to mind images of 1960s idealists digging latrines and wells. Not necessarily so, said Amy DeWitt, Peace Corps recruiter who was on campus April 4 and 5. "Today's Peace Corps volunteers teach English, business skills and teach in universities," DeWitt said. What this means for volunteers is more opportunities for people outside of the health professions and agriculture to be in the program. Highlighting language skills in an application will help considerably. "If you are interested in teaching, make sure the essays are grammatically correct," DeWitt said. The Peace Corps application includes two essays; one about why the applicant wants to volunteer and one about any crosscultural experiences the applicant has had. "Cross-cultural experiences aren't necessarily ethnic differences," DeWitt explained to a pair of potential volunteers. "It can be working with kids or men (the pair were female) or senior citizens." A medical examination is part of the application process. Certain medical conditions can limit the

"If you have sulfur allergies, you cannot take malaria medication, so you would be ineligible to serve in malarial zones," DeWitt said. Malaria medications are sulfur-based. "Also asthma could keep you from serving in places where coal is produced," DeWitt said. "But it depends on the severity

The volunteers will spend three months training in a major city in their new country. During the training, they will live with a host family. "It is very rare to live with a host family after training," DeWitt said. "Eighty-six percent of volunteers will be in rural areas without other Americans." Volunteers learn about the cultural norms of the area as well as safety precautions in their training. The workload is actually light by American standards. Volunteers have a primary assignment and are to asses the needs of the community. "You will have more time than you could imagine," DeWitt said. "When I was in Poland, the town emptied out on the weekend. I would visit with other volunteers on the weekends." DeWitt served in 1993 through 1994. She taught English in a Polish university. "You will have the opportunity to hop on a flight or bus and visit other volunteers," DeWitt said. "I knew a couple of volunteers who came back to the States for both Christmases." All expenses are paid by the Peace Corps, except travel to the United States during service. "You will have a living allowance based on the cost of living in your country,"

of the asthma." After the application process is completed, a candidate will be called by a recruiter. "They will call and invite you to a particular country. You will have 10 days to accept the invitation," DeWitt said. The candidate is also free to refuse the placement but still be considered for other locations. "It really is a different Peace Corps," DeWitt said. "It used to be what they had is what you got. There is room for negotiation now." There are very few language requirements. "If you want to go to say, South America where Spanish is spoken, you will need two years of high school Spanish or two semesters of college-level Spanish," DeWitt said. 'Those credits cannot be more than 10 years old." The same restrictions exist for the French-speaking world. The language requirement is because volunteers will most likely need to learn a tribal language as well in Spanish- and French-speaking areas. "If you go to West Africa, you'll need to know French going in. We will provide a teacher for any other language used in a particular location," DeWitt said. Other locations do not have language requirements.

PEACE CORPS Continued from page 16 DeWitt said. "I made the same $300 a month as the other professors at the university." Volunteers receive $6,075 as a readjustment allowance after the tour of duty is up. Volunteers serve 27 months on assignment. After the assignment, they have noncompetitive eligibility for federal jobs, DeWitt said. Volunteers may also be called upon in an emergency situation. Through a program called Crisis Corps, returned volunteers are asked back to their country during natural or political crises. The two potential volunteers had mixed reasons for exploring the Peace Corps. Amy Wiewel, a UCO sociology senior, said she plans a career in social work. "I like working with people of other backgrounds." Tammy Boyd is pursuing a doctorate in international development education at the University of Oklahoma. "This sounds like a great chance to do research and applied work," Boyd said. For more information on the Peace Corps, call 214-767-5435 or visit www.peacecorps.gov.

ie East Hall Coffee House held on Thursday, March 30th, was a huge success. This biannual event is sponsored by the East Hall Resident Assistants (RAs) and staff and was held in the lobby of the West Hall. Lights, sound and decorations, as well as free food and of course coffee, more than adequately transformed the lobby into a very quaint and inviting venue for poets, thespians, musicians and various others to show off and entertain. The performances began at 8:30 p.m. with a series of guitar accompanied renditions of classic Jimmy Buffet tunes by Daniel Fowler, a freshman, and ended just before midnight with what was hailed by members of the audience as the best musical act: Clint Walkingstick. Walkingstick played acoustic guitar and sang selections from such bands as Seven Mary Three and Oasis, as well as

—Photo by Landon Salyer pieces from musical icons such as Eric Clapton. He can be heard on a regular basis playing while working as a desk clerk for West Hall. Other performers included Elizabeth Preffler, a junior English major, and Joy Adkin, a freshman West Hall RA who recited poetry while Jamie Keefer, a senior theater arts major, did a dramatic monologue. A variety of other musicians played guitar and sang. Kudos for the comedic highlights of the evening go to Lora Burnett, a West Hall RA and to Joe Woolridge, a student from the Canadian island of Newfoundland.

Burnett deserves the recognition for her recital of poetry in a nearly perfect Irish accent. She topped off her performance with a dramatic Irish rendition of the lyrics to Ricky Martin's "Shake Your Bon Bon." Woolridge earns his nod for a hysterical medley of folksongs from his homeland accompanied by the spoons. Yes, the spoons. Woolridge played the spoons and sang as the crowd clapped and chanted along with him. Brian Kelley, East Hall RA in charge of finding talent for the show said that this was "...one of the best we have ever done."
