Students win for academic achievement

By Lisa Tatum Staff my ash awards totaling $24,000 were given to some of UCO's top students Thursday at the Presidential Partners Annual Awards Luncheon in the University Center Ballroom.

Students were honored in two categories for their leadership and academic achievements.

Ten students took home $500 each for the John and Eleanor Kirkpatrick Student Leadership and Public Service Award.

Of those 10, one student took home an additional $1,000 as the Gold Medal winner.

The students were selected from applications submitted in February.

"The award shows appreciation for students who provide leadership to campus," said Lynn Means, director of student activities.

The Julian and Irene Rothbaum Student Achievement Awards recognized one student from each of the university's 32 academic departments to receive a $500 stipend.

The students were selected for the annual award by their department's faculty and chairperson. Criteria was based on academic excellence.

Out of the 32 students, one from each of the four undergraduate colleges was chosen by their college dean to receive and additional $250. A Gold Medal winner from the group was selected by a committee of all UCO deans to receive a

klahoma's homophobic legislators have once again proposed a bill discriminating against gays. This time it's affecting our public schools and children's education.

Senate Bill 1394, proposed by Rep. Bill Graves, will ban "openly" homosexual employees from working in public schools. This includes anyone employed by the school district or by a privately contracted business. They're talking about teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers and just about everyone else connected with the school system.

These conservative, narrow-minded bigots must think homosexuality can contaminate their children's food, or maybe one day a bus driver will take a U-turn on the way to school and end up at a gay bar.

Do they honestly think gay teachers get up in front of their classes to talk about their sex life and pass out literature on how to be a homosexual?

This bill is an amendment added to an original law intended to ban criminals convicted of sex crimes from employment in the schools. One has nothing to do with the other—the majority of sex offenders are straight.

A similar law was struck down in 1985 because it was unconstitutional.

Legislators are wasting taxpayer's money and their time by bringing it up again. Even if the bill did pass, it would never hold up in the Supreme Court. It's illegal and discriminatory—plain and simple.

LETTERS

WORNMEMODISSEMSOMP".,:,,,, >:400.P .4,1M,,x2,:V

Student organization funding supported wish to respond to the article in the April 9 Vista regarding budget cutting of student organizations. While I understand that with the drop in enrollment, some budget cutting is necessary, I think that the short-sighted, wholesale elimination of student organizations will do major damage to the university in the long run.

The drop in enrollment only emphasizes the need for more support of student organizations that draw and keep students at UCO. The student paper is of special importance in this regard. Why should a prospective student interested in journalism, photography or public relations even consider a university with no student paper? In addition, keeping students at UCO will only become more difficult as they lose their connection to the university.

In the long-term, the elimination of student organizations will send donations from private sources into a tail spin. Alumni who attended UCO but never felt welcomed and have no ties to the university beyond their diploma will feel no obligation to the school. Buildings like the Coyner Health and Sciences Center would not exist without some measure of outside funding. What

/

else might be lost as UCO is dehumanized?

As a university, UCO relies heavily on community support. The land for Old North was donated by members of the Edmond community.

By scuttling student service organizations we only alienate the community that supports us.

Scholastic organizations provide students with more than a line on their resume. They also offer the opportunity for discussion in a variety of fields and promote the kinds of activities that bring prestige and notoriety to the university.

The educational experience is intended to provide citizens not only with skills, but also the occasion for expanding their minds and horizons.

The experiences provided by student organizations cannot be substituted by textbooks and lectures.

The strength and quality of these organizations directly represent the quality of this institution.

The gains from eliminating organizations like the student paper are slight if not nonexistent. The devastating effect to UCO is all to obvious. Do not allow this school to become a second-rate institution —Nicole Crethar UCO student

Abortion: choice or child

O

n the issue of abortion, please allow me for a moment to use an analogy. Why was slavery so reprehensible? After all, the Supreme Court upheld it and each person had a choice about the matter. No, it was wrong because owning another person is morally wrong.

In the abortion debate people often miss the real question: Is the fetus fully human? If not, then it is a choice. However, if it is a child, nothing else

matters—abortion is murder and should be banned.

Abortion is not a personal nor a political issue; it is a moral issue, and no amount of moral relativism will change that.

As an observation, I find it fascinating that those who preach tolerance are usually so intolerant of conservatives and their point of view.

Students respond to bill banning gay teachers

By Mark A. Schneberger starrim:v

D

espite what members of the Oklahoma State House of Representatives say many UCO education students think gay teachers should be allowed to teach, according to an informal survey conducted by The Vista.

Students last week said they thought teachers' sex lives and professional lives had very little to do with each other; and that instructors should not be punished for their sexual orientations.

The response came on the heels of a bill passed unanimously last week by members of the Oklahoma State House of Representatives, who said that gay

teachers should not be allowed to teach in Oklahoma public schools.

The bill—which would ban homosexuals from working as teachers and support staff, and ban them from being hired by a private business under contract with the school— was sent to the Oklahoma Senate where it will be debated. • It resembles a 1985 bill, which was ruled unconstitutional by the courts.

Rep. Bill Graves, who amended the bill Thursday, told the Edmond Evening Sun that he felt many homOsexuals are pedophiles who could use schools as a "breeding ground" to "recruit young people."

"I don't think anybody's going to have to make a sworn statement that they're not a homosexual before they go to work," , he said.

"I think that we need to drive them back in the closet like the way they were."

The bill's passage did not seem logical to forty-five UCO education students surveyed this week, however. Fifty students responded to the survey, but only five said they felt the bill was on target.

Michael Moser, a graduate student studying elementary education, was one against the bill: "I don't think (teachers') personal lives affect their teaching," he said. "They should not be punished for the way they live their personal lives."

Other students, such as Curtis Hillburn, senior, said the real focus should be on how well the teachers perform in the classroom,

not in the bedroom.

He said he had been discussing the issue with friends most of the morning Tuesday, and was disappointed that the state would even focus on an issue regarding homosexuals.

"I don't see why they should be kept from teaching. If they are qualified to be teachers and are good at their jobs, that should matter most," said Hillburn.

"I think there are more important things (legislators) should be looking at."

Most other students surveyed agreed with Wilburn. Like Rhetta Threat, special education senior, they felt the state had no right digging into people's personal lives and wondered how anyone would know who was and was not a homosexual.

"It doesn't make sense," she said.

But a few education students felt otherwise.

None would allow their names to be published, but all said that homosexuals have no right teaching young children.

One student, who asked to be identified only by her first name, Anne, said part of a teacher's role is teaching proper values— something homosexuals don't understand.

"I'm not for the whole homosexual thing. Part of our jobs as teachers is to help the kids find their morality," said the middle school education student.

"Homosexual acts are not moral and a teacher who is homosexual would be a hypocrite," Anne said.

Chavez, an alumnus of UCO, was disappointed when he heard The Vista may lose its funding.

"I think that (The Vista), beyond anything, is a leader on campus." "(A student newspaper) teaches the next generation of leaders in this country about the importance of a free press, and free expression in our society. Without these important principles, our society is lost," said Chavez. "(Without a student newspaper) I think you basically eliminate the journalism

"I went to UCO because I felt there would be more of an opportunity for hands-on experience," said Chavez.

Gays, God discussion marks 'historic night

By Mark A. Schneberger StaffWar

U

CO students who were hoping that a good fight would break out during the "Sexual Orientation and Religion" conference last Wednesday left the conference sorely disappointed.

But those who attended the two-hour discussion regarding gays and God to learn something got an earful of welldelivered information on the topic.

"It was definitely worth it. I came to understand all the religious views," said Alison Schindler, freshman.

"I was hoping to get a better understanding of my (homosexual) opposition, so I can witness to them."

Over 130 students, faculty and visitors packed the

Communication Building auditorium April 8 to participate in the first-ever event, sponsored by the Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality (GATE) and the Baptist Student Union.

Many stood, applauded and nodded their heads in agreement as six religious leaders from several denominations talked about the role of homosexuals as sinners or misunderstood masses.

Others took notes and smiled as they heard the panelists speak about what they considered "truth."

The panelists included Stephen Black, First Stone Ministries assistant director, Dr. Charles Lillard, UCO Baptist Student Union minister, the Rev. Kathy McCallie, Church of the Open Arms pastor, Geneva Pinnock, founder and pastor of Foursquare Church of God, Rabbi David Packman, Temple

B'nai Israel leader and the Rev. Cynthia G. Johnson, First Unitarian Church minister.

Lillard and the others tackled controversial topics such as how Christians were interpreting many of the verses in the New Testament incorrectly, and how gays can go straight if they listen to God. "I believe God loves all people, regardless of sexual orientation," said Lillard. "But homosexuality is a deviation from what God would have you do."

The panelists' points were peppered with humor, insight and a few barbs about who is or is not a sinner. Some statements, including ones from McCallie, seemed to stun the audience.

"Jesus had more to say about politics and poverty...than he did about how we express ourselves sexually," said McCallie.

"Based on scripture it is

easier to make a case for slavery than to condemn homosexuality."

Despite the disagreements, no audience members or panelists ever raised their voices. Rather, they kept the atmosphere calm and respectful during the twohour conference.

Ryan Eakins, senior, said the night was not about fighting; it was about listening.

He said he and his Christian friends attended the conference to gain a better understanding, while "letting people know what Christians are all about. " GATE president E-O-Tree Palmer was so moved by the mutual respect she choked with emotion as she thanked the crowd and panelists for attending what she called an "historic night."

"This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time," she said.

ccording to Mike Brown, being a member of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges isn't the glamorous job some people think it is. But it's "a labor of love" Brown said he wouldn't trade for anything.

"People don't always realize what the regents do," he said. "It takes time and dedication. But knowing that I'm helping provide opportunities for

Oklahoman's motivates me."

Brown, an Edmond resident, said he has always felt strongly about higher education, but his appointment to the Board of Regents came as a fluke. There was an opening on the ninemember board in 1991, Brown recalls. Gov. David Walters was a jogging partner of his and he offered him the job.

"I was so excited about being involved with higher ed again, I jumped right in," he said. "Only later did I realize there were six schools to deal with, not just one."

Brown's background in university administration began after he graduated from East Central University in Ada, Okla. with a degree in psychology and sociology. He went to work for the vice president there and later became president of the alumni association.

Brown said education has always been a big part of his life. In fact, his wife is a former

grade-school principal and her father is a former Oklahoma state superintendent of schools.

Brown's enthusiasm for his job is evident when he talks about Oklahoma colleges.

"I'm excited by the great things I see at each university," he said. "The small school atmosphere is the most exciting to me."

Brown said he is never more proud than when a student graduates and gets a job. He said few people realize that most of the Big Eight accounting firms get their employees directly from the six colleges the board oversees.

He beams when he tells one of his favorite success stories.

"East Central has a map drawing program," Brown said.

"The 12 graduates of that program last year got 42 job offers between them."

Brown's love of each school extends beyond the duties of his position. He said he reads every

school paper every week as well as the news releases that come from the schools. He also follows the sports programs.

"I'm a sports-aholic," he said.

"I try to stop by and watch practices when I'm at the

universities. If there's a game, I'll stay around to watch it, too."

While he said he loves everything from golf to football, his favorite sport is baseball,

"UCO's got a great team. So does Southeastern."

But Brown's baseball dream can't be played out here in Oklahoma, he said. He and a friend have spent the last 12 years pursuing their sports dream of visiting every major league ball field in the U.S. "We've been to 14," he said, including Baltimore, San Francisco and San Diego.

One might expect to see Brown cheering on the Oklahoma City Redhawks at the opening of the new ballpark in bricktown Thursday, but he won't be there.

He'll be earning his $10 fee for attending this month's regent's meeting in Durant.

"We have to do what we have to do," said Brown. " I just try to enjoy it. It doesn't matter if it's work or play." <

CAMPUS NEWS FROM AROUND THE NATION Six people at Stanford infected with Hepatitis A STANFORD, Calif. - Health officials are trying to determine how a professor and five students at Stanford University contracted Hepatitis A. They are looking at one of the university's dining halls as a potential source for the illness.

The first case surfaced about a month ago, the latest on Tuesday. All six victims are recovering, and school officials decline, to say whether any needed to be hospitalized.

Hepatitis A, commonly spread by contaminated food and utensils, attacks the liver.

Its symptoms include appetite loss, fatigue, jaundice and stomach aches. The illness is typically treated with rest and fluids and leaves a victim's system during an incubation period of anywhere from 15 to 50 days.

NCAA puts basketball program on probation OVERLAND PARK, Kan. The National Collegiate Athletic Association put Southeast Missouri State University's basketball program on three years probation Thursday after finding several violations regarding athletes'

benefits, recruitment and financial aid.

The NCAA's committee on infractions found that the school provided above-market wages, cash payments, loans, transportation and other forms of compensation to prospective recruits between 1994 and 1997 under head coach Ron Shumate. He was fired in May, and the school did not renew the contracts of three of his assistants.

The NCAA blamed Shumate and his assistants for the violations, not the school. It did, however, fault the university for failing to sufficiently monitor its basketball program.

As a result of the violations, the NCAA announced several penalties, including a reduction in the number of financial aid awards the university gets. '41(

Another option for non-traditional students ALBANY, N.Y. - Regents College, a program run by the State University of New York since 1971, has been granted a charter as private and independent school.

On Thursday, the college became the first independent institution in the state to serve adults choosing not to attend more traditional schools.

Students take classes through distance learning and are not required to sit in classrooms. -<

Activists pledge-to continue pushing for the removal of Illinois mascot URBANA, Ill. - Several members of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees, including Chairwoman Susan Gravenhorst, skipped a Wednesday meeting with activists who want them to get rid of the university's mascot, Chief Illiniwek.

"I'm not surprised because they have shown disrespect for our presence before," Paula Ostrovsky, a member of the Alumni Against Racial Mascots group, told the Associated Press.

Students and activists who find the mascot offensive have asked the board to attend a round-table discussion in May. Chief Illiniwek - a student dressed as an American Indian who dances during sporting events - has his supporters.

Many say the image, which first appeared on campus in 1926, is a tradition that pays tribute to Native Americans.

Despite the controversy, some trustees have said they don't think the board will act on the issue any time soon. -41(
