College of Liberal Arts cancels classes for symposium By Robyn Lydick

Senior Mgr

he College of Liberal Arts will hold the 12th annual Liberal Arts Symposium from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 17 in the Liberal Arts Building. The theme for the symposium is "The Classics: That Which Endures." Liberal Arts classes will be let out for the day. Instead of classes, liberal arts students are required to attend a session of the symposium. The symposium is an annual event that showcases student research and creative works. This year, retiring Liberal Arts Dean Clif' Warren will be honored for his support of the symposium, said Dr. Kole

Kleeman, assistant professor of journalism and symposium committee member for the journalism department. Warren will be leaving UCO on July 1. The symposium organizers, led by Dr. Pamela Washington, expect more than 1000 presenters this year. There are three categories of presentations: visual arts, performing arts and literary arts. Kleeman has encouraged several of his students to present papers. "I have four panels of students presenting," Kleeman said. "In my victims in the media class, we have had a theme of `research that makes an impact on the community.' It is basically a criticism of the mass media and the

victimization process." Kleeman said his introduction to mass communications students will also present papers in the symposium. Dr. Terry Clark, chairman of the journalism department, has more than 25 photography students showing their work, Kleeman said. "Dr. (Bob) Illidge's students have an advertising exhibit about traveling to Vietnam," Kleeman said. Gayle Singer, assistant professor of ceramics, will have her students demonstrating a pottery wheel. Singers said the live demonstration helped viewers be exposed to the throwing process. Throwing is literally throwing a lump of clay onto a

Art students refurbish ponies, paint murals at Frontier City By Michael Ross

Staff

hanks to campus artists, people in Cleveland, Ohio will soon be able to ride freshly-painted ponies, and people in central Oklahoma are being graced with a series of large pieces of art on public display. The students, under the direction of Dr. Bob Palmer, associate professor and chairperson of the Visual Art and Design, have begun a pair of artistic projects for Premier Parks, the parent company of Frontier City and the Six Flags chain of amusement parks. The department has a history of doing work for Premier, according to Palmer, which led to the hiring of the UCO students. The first of these projects is the restoration of a vintage carousel. Students will be stripping each of the ride's 60 to 70 horses as well as the panels which make up the rest of the ride. They will then apply new coats of primer and enamel before focusing on the more intricate detail work. The ride, which has been repainted several times since its construction in the 1940s, was purchased in Mexico City. After its restoration in Oklahoma City, it will be transported to its new home at an amusement park in Cleveland, Ohio, where it will be displayed on an island in a small lake, accessible by a bridge. The other project the students will be working on for Premier is the panel work on a new ride called The Casino, which will debut at Frontier City this year. Along with the work done for theme parks, the Art Department has also begun a series of four murals in the Metro area. The murals are a part of a mural painting class taught by Palmer on weekends. However, the paintings are not the sole work of the 20 students in the class. Palmer has expressed that the opportunity to work on the murals is open to all students, and has seen a turnout of approximately 40 students to assist in the works. Two of these works, a piece for a wine store in Norman and one created for Horace Mann

The other finalists for Student Achievement Awards received $500 from the college of their major. Neither Gleaves nor Jobe knew they won gold medals until their names were announced. "I was shocked to win. I felt that there were others there that were more qualified than I to receive the award," Gleaves said. "It was great to be recognized for putting forth so much effort towards my education." Gleaves and Jobe are perfect examples of how wonderful UCO students are, said Dr. Nancy Childress Hughes,

Jobe is president of the UCO Student Association and serves as spokesman for the student body and liaison to UCO administrators. He is involved with the Forensic Club, the Presidents Club, the Greek Roundtable, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature.

Gleaves has also been involved with the Interfraternity Council, the UCO Student Senate, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and East Hall Council. Gleaves believes studying hard is about learning, not about getting awards. "I do, however, enjoy the fact that someone recognizes the sacrifices I've made to do well in school.

Bronchos have momentum going into John Jacobs Relays By Justin Villines

SportsEditor The UCO men's and women's track teams will be going to the John Jacobs Relays in Norman this weekend. "It will be a competitive meet," UCO head coach Paul Parent said. Both teams are coming off productive outings last week at the UCO Relays. "I was happy with the way the guys and girls ran, we did good last week," Parent said. No team scores were kept last weekend at the UCO Relays, but the Bronchos had eight first place finishers. The men's team ran away with first-place medals in the 1,600-meter and sprint medley

Copy Cat... Emerson College Student Shoots Up During Class By Brian Eastwood

TMSCampusigtiter

tudents and faculty are still trying to make sense of a classroom performance piece in which one unidentified student injected an unknown substance into his or her arm. The March 23 incident was part of an acting class assignment that required students to bring props and perform an activity they do every day. Those in attendance watched one student, whose name has not been released, use a syringe to inject a liquid. The course's instructor, Steve Yakutis, dismissed the class immediately after the student was finished. "It was a frightening

situation," said another student who didn't want to be identified. "We saw someone who really needs help because they live and breathe addiction. It seemed to many of us that it was a cry for help." School officials agree and are looking into the incident. Still unclear, they say, is whether any illegal substance was used. "The reported act is considered very serious and is being addressed with the utmost concern for the interests and wellbeing of the individual, the acting class and campus community," said Ronald Ludman, Emerson's dean of students. Students in the class met with a campus counselor and decided afterwards not to discuss the incident with anyone outside the class or to disclose the student's identity. "I feel that the student's privacy needs to be respected in the classroom," said Maureen Shea, chairman of the college's department of performing arts. "Especially in an acting class, which is an environment where the students need to feel safe."

The organization teaches children life skills such as social interaction, camping, self confidence and motivation, says their official website. The UCO Chapter of Sigma Nu, which was formed last year, volunteered for the

project when they learned that a reservoir and several trails needed repairs after the winter weather made them unusable. "Camp DaKaNi is our official philanthropy for this state," said Jason Vaughn, Sigma Nu Commander. "We are building the camp back up, repairing it, rebuilding the winter damage," Vaughn said.

The Anny Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with over $7,000 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training. Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $1,500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,600 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you'll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give us a call:

Six-year-old excels in college classes

ustin Chapman is the only student at the University of Rochester who's on the verge of losing his baby teeth. The 6-year-old is the youngest student ever to enroll in the university, where he's taking an ancient history class. Of course, that's just one of an awfully full load. Justin is enrolled in 29 other classes offered through the Internet and Monroe Community College. Despite all the schoolwork, his mom, Elizabeth Chapman, insists her son is in class less than the average first grader. Officially, Justin is a sophomore at Cambridge Academy, a private high school

IITOCAN

in Ocala, Fla., that offers correspondence courses. Rochester allowed Justin to enroll in a program admitting exceptional high-school students. School officials say they have no questions about his abilities. Neither does Elizabeth Chapman, who said she first noticed her son's intelligence when he passed one of her college-level exams at the age of 2. She thought he was just filling in bubbles at random. She also said she has no idea where the kid got his smarts. "I don't remember him reading books on string theory," but he knows all about it, she said. Aside from his young age, Justin is the typical student. He talks during class and doesn't study. His mom -- who insists on speaking for him -- says his biggest problems stem from often doing "more than what's expected for class." She said she has to tear him away from his computer to make sure he gets plenty of exercise.

UCO junior receives Carl Albert scholarship By Zach Anderson

StatEllrilet scholarship program named after "The Little Giant from Little Dixie" is helping public relations students to further their career options. Recently, the Carl Albert Scholars scholarship was, awarded to UCO junior Lauren Vargas. From 1947-1977 Carl Albert served as the representative of Oklahoma's third district to the United States House of Representatives. During his last three terms, he wielded more power than any Oklahoman in history as the Speaker of the House. The Carl Albert Scholars is a program offered to students seeking careers in public relations jobs within government. The program is designed to give students the opportunity to get their foot in the door for a prospective job opportunity by providing students with paid internship positions at government agencies.

Lauren Vargas, public relations junior, walks to her class on Wednesday morning in the Communications Building. Vargas was recently awarded the Carl Albert Scholar Scholarship.

vEERIIY

Vargas was assigned to an internship program at the Oklahoma Employees Retirement System (OPERS), where she serves as the office technical writer and editor for publications within the OPERS office. In fact, she authored the office manual used by the retirement office coordinators. "These internships are not like where you are just serving coffee," Vargas said. "You aren't looked at as just another intern. With this, you are a real player in the game. You can't get any better that." The program offers students an excellent opportunity to get involved in prospective career opportunities. "If you want to work for the government as a public relations person, you have got to get your foot in the door," Vargas said. "This is the way to do that. It's a very prestigious scholarship. It gives you the opportunity to have your skills looked at by all types of government agencies, and it gives you the chance to pick and choose which type of internship you want." As far as her own career is concerned, Vargas doesn't want to work for the government just yet. She is currently looking into becoming a public relations employee for a Dallas- based corporation. "I've decided that I don't want to do the government just right now. I like my job now, but I want to wait until I am older to work for the government," Vargas said. "The government job kind of takes down your creative juices,

SCHOLARSHIP Continued from front page and you have to work through some red tape to get things done." Vargas highly recommends the Carl Albert Scholar program to other public relations majors. "It's really hard for public relations majors to get an internship, and when you are a struggling student trying to pay for your own education, it's invaluable to get a paid internship," she said. "A really good perk about the Carl Albert Scholar internship is that it is paid, and the money is really there and really helpful." Vargas urges other students to get involved in this program as soon as possible. "This is something you don't want to hold off on. Start now," Vargas said. "It's really important that you get your paperwork in because there aren't many spots open, and for those that are it gets very competitive. "Plus, if you have this on your resume going up against other people in the public relations business, it's impressive to have this under your belt when looking for a job. I highly recommend it to other students." Vargas considers being selected for the program to be a huge benefit to her future. "It's been a very positive experience. I've really enjoyed being able to participate in my internship."

aking up to 43degree rain at 5 a.m. and working a 22-hour day may seem insane to most students, but for ROTC's Broncho Battalion it is just another

cadet private first class Kenneth Albrecht, a freshman at UCO majoring in economics. Friday afternoon, the cadets took a written test on land navigation, went through a daylight trial, and came back late that night to navigate through the woods in the dark. Early the next morning, the cadets got to try their leadership skills in the situational lanes. "The lanes ranged from ambush to dealing with guerrillas dressed as civilians," said US Army Captain Dale Russell, one of the instructors assigned to UCO. Saturday night, the cadets established an ambush base, called a bivouac, and continued training until 2 a.m. before bedding down on the ground for a few hours sleep. "The intent of the whole exercise was to prepare the juniors for advanced camp this summer," Russell said. Ten UCO cadets will attend this years advanced camp, a five week course at Ft. Lewis, WA that prepares cadets to handle combat and field exercises as future Army officers. The exercise ended Sunday, after several problem solving trials designed to teach cadets to think flexibly, such as figuring a way to move a 55 gallon drum to the top of a mound with nothing but the equipment they carry and two boards.

"Everybody learned from the mistakes they made. We have to concentrate on many things, not just one. "The things people overlooked were the really obvious ones, like forgetting to set up security," Albrecht said. Freshman and sophomore ROTC classes are open to all students with no military commitment required, regardless of age, physical ability, or citizenship. "Freshman and sophomore classes teach basic soldier skills; rifle marksmanship, land navigation, first aid and rappelling," Russell said. Students in freshman or sophomore classes who do not take the optional lab portion are not required to wear a uniform or conform to military appearance standards. Graduates of the ROTC program are commissioned in the Regular Army, National Guard, or Reserves as lieutenants, leading platoons of around 30 people. The commitments are three years for Regular Army, four years for those receiving scholarships, and eight for reservists and national guardsmen. Four lieutenants will be commissioned May 5 at the Troy Smith Lecture Hall in the College of Business Administration Building, Russell said. For more information on ROTC, call Russell at 9745167.

Sigma Tau Gamma receives regional award By Krissi Mc Vay StudentMiter CO's Beta Zeta chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma has been honored with the Regional Banner Award presented at the Annual Southern Regional Conclave by the Southern Region of Sigma Tau Gamma for their accomplishments last year. The Beta Zeta Chapter scored highest among the 16 chapters in six states in Sigma Tau Gamma's southern region. "The brothers and alumni of Sigma Tau Gamma deserve our heartiest congratulations for being recognized with the Banner Award," said William P. Bernier, executive vice president of Sigma Tau Gamma. "Just over a year ago, Beta Zeta Chapter began an important process of renewal and they must be justly proud." The chapter had to deal with some serious problems a couple of years ago. "It's nice to be in the spotlight for something positive after two of our members were arrested for possession two years ago," said Shawn Carroll, Sigma Tau Gamma president. "We had a few down years, but our membership as a whole recommitted ourselves to the principles that our
