Fraternity prank results in arrest By Sheri Tacker Staff

tacy Aldridge, a UCO geography education major, is in stable condition after being run over by a car in an Alpha Tau Omega fraternity incident Saturday. Kevin Scott Crowder, a 19year-old business major, ran over him with a car owned by another fraternity member, according to the Carter County Sheriff's Report. The accident occurred around 7:30 a.m. at a remote campsite in Carter County. Crowder was "kidnapped" in a fraternity prank called a "sneak," according to the report, and was trying to escape the site when he ran over Aldridge. Aldridge told authorities that Crowder was not in any danger during the sneak, and that attempting to escape was part of the game. Crowder told Aldridge that he was about to pass out and got into a car that was owned by Wesley Harris, another fraternity member, and escaped from the sneak. According to the sheriffs report, several people at the scene said that dew covered many of the car windshields. The dew is the reason Crowder said he did not see Aldridge as he was attempting to drive away. "Aldridge- began trying to ,

stop (Crowder), not because of the sneak, but because he was drunk," stated the sheriff's report. Aldridge tried to move out of the way of the car, but he slipped and fell and was run over, the report said. Aldridge told authorities that he did not think Crowder ran over him on purpose, but that it was an accident. Crowder said that when he started driving he felt a bump. He thought it was the bumpy road and continued to drive, said the report. Aldridge was admitted Saturday to the Intensive Care Unit at Mercy Memorial Health Center in Ardmore, Okla.

life

UCO student was seriously hurt during a fraternity party this past weekend. It was reported by some television stations and newspapers as a sort of . 'hazing gone bad." Based on the sheriff's report and statements by the district attorney, it seems less an issue of hazing, and more an issue of under-age drinking. Young people tend to feel invincible, and also tend to think they know what's best for them— no matter what. Unfortunately, when people of any age consume large amounts of alcohol, their judgment is impaired and this can lead to . dangerous situations. Only the wisdom of experience can truly recognize this potential. That's why there are laws against under-age drinking, not to spoil the fun, but to protect the inexperienced. If we, as a campus family, cannot protect our younger students from the dangers of abusing alcohol, whether because of a flaw in the system or because of a general dismissal of the seriousness of the problem, then everyone loses. Who knows, next time someone may even lose their life. Pujan Roka /The Vista

Faculty Senate elects new members By Lisa Tatum StaffMta

ompetition for open seats in UCO's Faculty Senate was lax this year according to recent election results. Only 26 people filed for the 20 open senate positions, leaving one college with an unfilled vacancy. Parliamentarian Dr. Suzan Waller said the low number of faculty filing for senator seats this year may be due to increased faculty work loads. "Because of a decrease in hiring, there is a greater work load on the faculty," she said. "They aren't as willing to commit to the extra work involved in being a faculty senator." Nomination forms were sent to all eligible faculty members

last month, said Dr. Anne Gleason, reporter/historian for the senate. "Generally, faculty nominate themselves," she said, explaining that they know best what their time constraints are. "The job takes time and energy as well as commitment," she said. The number of senate representatives is determined by the number of full-time faculty in each of the four undergraduate colleges. Senators are also elected from the library, administration and advisement. The College of Math and Science had openings for six senators but only five nominations came in, said Gleason. As a result, the college lost a senate spot. The senators elected for twoyear terms are:

Brenda Brent, advisement; Bill Deering, administration; Frankie Lauderdale, administration; Nancy Gallenstein, College of Education; Shirley Larson, College of Education; Eleanor Maddox, College of Education; Pat Waits, College of Education; Jeri Roberson, College of Liberal Arts; Rudi N011ert, College of Liberal Arts; Lewis H. Irving, College of Liberal Arts; James Mock, College of Liberal Arts; Ed Pugh, College of Liberal Arts; Chris Burkey, College of Math and Science; James Dechter, College of Math and Science; Elizabeth Francis, College of Math and Science; Gary Sokoll, College of Math and Science; Linda Steele, College of Math and Science; Abbey Warner, Library; Arnell Johnson, College of Business Administration.

The Golden Rule Morality of most right-wing conservatives transcends Christianity By Steven E. Wede! Columnist

fter writing about the shootings in Jonesboro, Ark. a couple of weeks ago, I was asked how the social changes I called for would be brought into being. I thought the answer was obvious; but whenever a conservative dares mention religion as a means to correct a social ill, it is seen by others as an attempt to use the government to gather Christian converts. Conservatives are often accused of trying to push Christian doctrine down the throats of those who oppose them. However, when conservative-minded people say we should emphasize morality in our society, they are not necessarily pushing Christian idealogy. Like most religions, Christianity deals with the relationship of the human soul to a Creator. Also like most other

religions, Christianity deals with of many faiths. For instance: • Buddhism's Udanavarga, the relationship of individuals 5:18, says, "Hurt not others with toward one another. It is the rules of social that which pains yourself." • A tenet of Islam says, "No interaction that are most often one is a believer until he loves referred to by conser-vatives. The salvation or damnation of for his broth_er what he loves for your soul is between you and the himself." The • Higher Mahabharata, Force, or 5:5-7, of the grave, Hinduism says, if that's Secular law affects us "This is the what you all—and it should be sum of duty; choose to do naught to based on morality. believe. others which if But done to thee, the way would cause we get thee pain." along —Steven Wedel The • together Witch's Rede, is a matter not only of moral law, but used by practitioners of Wicca, of secular law. Secular law says, "Eight words the Witch's affects us all—and it should be rede fulfill / an ye harm none, do what you will!" But adds, "Mind based on morality.

after they've killed off all other religions. How much of the political and social strife in the United States could be avoided if we all just practiced our beliefs?

• The Talmud of Judaism says, "What is hurtful to yourself do not to your fellow man. That is the whole of the Torah and the remainder is but commentary.

Social behavior comes down to that one idea that transcends these religions and most others—if you wouldn't like it, don't do it to anyone else. The problem is that far too many people don't practice their version of the "Golden Rule." If everyone—Christians, Muslims, Witches, Atheists, etc.—would just practice that basic concept of. their religious beliefs, we wouldn't have wars or crime.

years there have been no complaints with the fraternity. "This is not a problem house." Webb said, even though this was an unregistered off-campus event, the organizations must remain responsible for the decisions they make. "As far as 'sneaks' and other such activities go, Dr. Gage will be examining these things in the context of safety and prudence," said Webb. The' 1997-98 UCO student handbook defines hazing as:

"An activity which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating subject to the sanction of the public or private school or of any institution of higher education in this state." "We are very concerned about Stacy's injuries and are praying for his speedy recovery," said Smiley. "We all must consider the frightening outcome of those events, the fact that the results could easily have been tragically worse, and the enduring fact that with less reckless behavior, that dangerous situation could have been avoided altogether," said Webb.

ven at the college level, the sight of a television and videocassette recorder brings about a giddiness normally reserved for third grade classrooms. Dr. Diane Kremm, professor of history and geography, has developed a new class called Civil War and Film that will be offered this fall. The class will focus on feature films and documentaries dealing with the Civil War. The class will begin with Birth of a Nation, one of the first movies about the Civil War, and all the way up to Glory, according to Kremm. "I got the idea because students would often refer to movies they had seen when the Civil War was talked

about in class. I thought maybe I was missing out on a different way to teach history," said Kremm. Students will examine films for accuracy, identify the technology they show and check their potential for enlightenment, according to Kremm. "Students can learn even from a bad movie that is full of mistakes, by correcting them and producing something real," said Kremm. "If the class works, maybe others will be offered covering perhaps World War II or Vietnam in film. It is a way to learg from a very powerful medium. Movies reach a large cross-section of the population. People who may not read a novel about the Civil War will watch a movie about it," said Kremm. For more information about the class, call Diane Kremm at Ext. 5451.

Moscow to Edmond Son of Jewish carpenter teaches painting to UCO students By Kelly Crow 011esIMAT

hen a young Igor Koutsenko dreariaed of one day traveling the globe as a. famous Russian artist, he never imagined his journey would lead him to upstairs studio Apartment No. 6 in the Paseo art district and an adjunct professorship teaching oil painting and drawing at UCO. Still, the stocky man with a brown fluff of beard and ice-blue eyes feels he's exactly where he belongs. "It's always like that in life," he said. "Coincidence, destiny, call it any way you wantI do believe it." Life began for Koutsenko in the Ukrainian town of Crima on the peninsula of the Black Sea. The son of a Jewish carpenter, Koutsenko knew even as a 6year-old he would not follow in his father's footsteps. His interest in art was immediate and lasting, compelling him to rush from regular classes to a children's art school three days a week. There he sat for three hours at a stretch, gleaning the basics of "realistic painting" from wizened masters of the craft. His own style—figurative or easel art using vivid pastels and lush oils—may vary from those of his early teachers, but Koutsenko said the groundwork was crucial to his career. "If you want to do music, you have to first learn the notes," he said. "If you want to do art, you have to first learn to draw." His tendency to try out new techniques during class time at first irritated his other teachers, but "they got used to it, so they didn't bother me anymore." By the time he entered the exclusive, 100-year-old Savitski School of Art at 16, no one would dare dissuade him from his gift. "It was the best years of my life, those four years," he said.

City scary and unsettling. "'City' means people, a lot of them, walking everywhere," said Koutsenko, who quickly realized he would have to learn how to drive and speak English if he was going to survive, The first months were rough. Staying with friends, he walked the half hour to his job as a housekeeper at the Stratford Inn on Northwest Expressway. Passersby often mistook him for a "bum" and flashed signs that did anything but welcome a newcomer. Over the next year, he moved from cleaning rooms to delivering meals for Weight Watchers, all the time reserving his evenings for his art. It was the editor of Weight Watcher's trade magazine, Phyllis Eagle, who heard about their deliveryman's penchant for painting and introduced him to Ballet Oklahoma. He would go on to illustrate the company's dance posters until Eagle's husband, Cameron, suggested he apply for an adjunct teaching position at UCO. Cameron himself taught illustration at the university. "I told him he was crazy," Koutsenko said. "I could hardly speak English, and I thought I wasn't ready." Turns out he was, and he's now in his eighth semester at UCO. He's also got a green card, thanks to political asylum and a proven case for alien of extraordinary abilities. Area critics and collectors vouched for his art, which sells for anywhere from $200 to $3,000 for originals. He is leaving this summer for San Diego to devote more time to his own art and maybe teach part time. Though modest about his talent and his troubles, Koutsenko said he is grateful to live in a country where his Midwest City neighbors respect his newly immigrated parents and gush over his 14-year-old daughter's accent. "Russia is a great place to visit, but ... this country is special because it's a country of immigrants,-" he said. "Complete freedom isn't possible, but here is the best case. It's real 4 freedom."

Hire me: advice from the guy behind the desk Financial responsibility as a recent college grad prompts many job hunts By Bernie Milano College Press f all the big changes that come with graduating and entering the "real world," perhaps the most intimidating is the prospect of becoming a financially independent, selfsupporting citizen. Interestingly enough, this is also one of the things students most look forward to. For the first time in your life (for most of you, at least), you'll be filing your own tax return and struggling to stay on top of a variety of expenses. The sense of

accomplishment that comes with this responsibility appeals to a lot of young people. However, since personal financial trouble is such a real threat to so many Americans, starting off carefully and developing good financial habits are your wisest `investments' at this point. Having a steady paycheck coming in every two weeks or so is a nice change for most recent graduates. Your job hunt will undoubtedly have been guided to a large extent by your financial demands; for example, if you have no other choice than to live by yourself in an expensive area

like New York City, you hopefully haven't settled for a low-paying job that can't support you. Hopefully, your cost of living expenses are realistically matched with the job you've landed. A constant danger for the young, just-out-of-school worker is running up a large credit card debt -. if, indeed, you're not already graduating with one to begin with! The thinking tends to go "Well, I'll be receiving raises steadily, which will help me gain a firmer financial foothold, and begin working away the debt I'm accumulating now." Easier said than done. Even if an employer

has promised you directly that your income will increase on pre-determined scale, it's better not to out-leverage yourself. To the best of your ability, spend the money after, not before, you earn it. A lot of things can happen, and you'll be wise to prepare for surprises. Many of you, of course, already have had an introduction to personal finance in the form of student loans. This is another factor that figures into your budget, and one that, like starting salaries, varies greatly from person to person. Student loans tend to be structured in a fair

manner, and hopefully your own has a payment plan that doesn't impact your paycheck too badly. Financial independence is a big step. It's a significant aspect of the new sense of structure your life takes on after graduation. If your first job doesn't pay enough to cover your living expenses, yet you're sure it's the right career stepping-stone for you, make some sacrifices. Live at home, if possible, no matter how badly you want to live on your own. Time passes and careers progress, and before you know it you'll be on your own and in the career you'd hoped for.

Internships provide needed experience for new graduates •• pr. 13—Help wanted. Experience preferred. It's a familiar Catch22 for students looking for work after graduation. Students need to get experience to get the job they want, but to get the job they want, they often need experience. "It's no longer good enough for a student to graduate with good grades alone. They need experience, too," said Gina Frigault, director of the Student Resource Center at Avila College.. "Employers want to know that you know what it's like in the field." Some educational institutions are working with businesses to offer internship programs. "We try to maximize their opportunities to gain experience, to give them as many options as possible," said Dana Leibengood, director of student services for the school of journalism and mass communications at the University of Kansas. Students are encouraged, sometimes actively recruited, to complete an internship in their junior or senior year. "It's really a tremendous opportunity for real exposure and networking. But also to get a good handle on the job and gain knowledge of what actually goes on in the workplace," said Paul Williams, associate professor of history and chairman of the history department at MidAmerica Nazarene University. Students participating in internships have a lot to gain: hands-on experience, additional skills, professional references, as well as networking. "A strong case for doing an internship is to gain confidence in their own ability to work," Leibengood said. "For journalism and communications ,students, good samples of work are invaluable. In any case, it's good to have the confidence that they can do the job, have an idea what the job entails and also, if it's really what they want to do." —College Press

Season of argument over for UCO debate team By Mark A. Schneberger starrwritet

he University of Central Oklahoma Debate Squad's pacesetting. season came to a nonclimactic end recently as all member teams were defeated soundly in the national and junior national championships. But the teams—which are made of relatively young members—represented UCO well in the tournaments, said Doug Duke, UCO director of debate. "As for team awards, they did not do terribly well," Duke said as he looked over squad statistics in his office at the Communications Building. "But they are still a new team and we are preparing for the future." The four teams which comprise the squad fared well March 13-15 at the Junior Division National Tournament in Overland Park, Kan. The tournament, held at Johnson County Community Co'llege, pitted the UCO debaters against several other teams from the region—many of which lost to UCO. Duke said UCO squad members out-talked many others during the first rounds of the meet. But, they all were defeated in the quarterfinals.

such (inexperienced debaters)." Without much respite, the debaters continued their efforts March 19-23 at the National Cross Examination Debate Tournament, where they competed against teams from across America. The UCO teams lost more rounds than they won there, however,—winning three rounds and losing five, according to Duke. "They got no national placement," he said. "But overall, the UCO program would have gotten second place in the region, which includes Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri." Duke said all squad members should feel pleased at

their accomplishments in both tournaments and the season.' The national tournaments mark the end of a whirlwind season for the UCO debaters, who competed in. over 14 competitions within the last eight months. - The UCO debate teams have been consistent winners at the state and national levels. It also puts the finishing touch on the winning record of the UCO debate team made up of Freshmen Shawn Blankenship and Tony Sherbert. The Blankenship-Sherbet team won acclaim last month for defeating teams from 15 colleges and universities at the Wheaton College Debate Tournament in ChiCago. <
