wenty-eight residents of Murdaugh Hall must pay for vandalism that happened there on March 2, said Tom Hulm, director of housing.

Someone poured bleach along a 141-foot-long hallway on the first floor of the residence hall.

The hall, designated as 1st West, is home to the 28 students who are being charged.

The cost of replacing the carpet is $6,000, he said, which is being divided evenly among 28 students who live along that hallway.

School policy states that students are financially responsible for damages to the common areas of their student housing facilities, Hulm said.

"The [common area damage] policy has been here for a while.

Active use of the policy began this .year," Hulm said. All the major universities, even OU, use the policy, he said.

he vote is in from the April 10 UCOSA elections naming J.P. Jordan as vice president.

Jordan won the vice president office with 157 votes while Marilyn McDow had 97 votes.

Less than three percent of students voted.

Tyler Tully ran unopposed for president. He said some new things planned for the coming year include a cabinet. The different chairs in the cabinet will be responsible for areas on campus. Some chairs include a residential hall secretary, a multi-

cultural officer and a treasurer.

"These chairs should take care of some of the problems we had last year," he said.

Tully said he is excited to be president during a time he sees as prosperous for UCO. "It's a good time for growth here at UCO. It's time for UCO to be respected for what it's worth," he said.

The 12 house representatives ran uncontested. They are Joe Garvey, Stephanie Henderson, Tara Means, Nora Miller, Michelle Olson, Christina Petty, Kate Thrift, Donnie Keim, Jake Winkler, Kyle Williams, Rachel Caffey and Jenica Wilson. •

LETTERS Student disappointed with coordination of World Within program

I

ast semester I participated in and counted about 12 tables that the World Within opening had no representation from the ceremonies at the Hamilton faculty or community. We were all Field House. As a student supposed to do fun stuff together participant I was assigned to sit at a but without the leadership and table with other students. Each commitment of sponsorship the group/table was to have two whole thing would fail.

So I took my concerns to the sponsors: one from the faculty and one from the community. But our administration. They told me they sponsors never showed up. I asked were aware of the problem and the table next to us if their sponsors were working to resolve it. That had shown up and they said, "no." was last semester and I still haven't I began to wonder how many other heard from a sponsor. You'd think that the administration would be groups had no sponsor.

I went around asking each group responsible enough to at least keep

us believing that they were working on getting the issue resolved but I haven't heard from them even once this semester. The whole World Within concept was to show the international students the positive benefits of our college, community, and country. Hopefully some students got what they were promised but I know many have not. What many have seen is that we fail to keep our promises.

Maybe the administration bit of more than they can chew, the sponsor volunteers failed to rally in

the appropriate numbers or there was poor volunteer turnout. The administration should let us know and be honest about it. They ought to be responsible about keeping in touch with and informing us who still look forward to all that was promised.

I heard that we were scheduled to have a World Within picnic soon. We are still paying the bill from the first event. It really made me angry that the

administration/Dr. Webb is spending more money to promote something that has been handled poorly thus far, has disrespected and let down students, and has brought shame on our university due to broken promises and a poor example of American hospitality.

We deserve an apology and the problem should be corrected as soon as possible.

Todd Rivers, senior psychology major

UCOSA Senator responds to editorial Great Tires, Great Prices am finished with this "paper", as those readers who possess any knowledge of decent periodicals should be. The editors of The Vista seem to utilize the Opinion (Sk Editorial page to give vent to unsubstantiated complaints.

We all want good parking, true, (because of laziness, safety concerns, or late arrival), but in the April 9 and April II issues, the editors spoke of faculty parking privileges as evidence of UCOSA's supposed unworthiness. This organization, which represents all students on

I

campus and even the editors, is supposed to be ineffective because of parking privileges.

How parking privileges render governance inadequate is, frankly, a bit difficult to fathom.

Further, UCOSA officers work on campus just like UCO staff and faculty in addition to attending classes. So, they are not simply "students like the rest of us," as the editors put it.

The line, "UCOSA doesn't get much done," appears to imply that UCOSA productivity depends not on the actual actions of members but only the

public awareness of actions, something The Vista (despite its mission) has done little of subjective reporting to foster. If it is not fulfilling its own mission, how much is The Vista getting done? They are the ones who SHOULD know all about UCOSA contributions. If they are clueless, they are not doing their job.

VANDALISM: Hulm says carpet replacement charges not intended as punitive action continued from page 1 In a written statement, Bittner said "in order for this job to cost $6,000, the school either expects to pay about $20 per square yard for top-of-the-line carpet to put in a men's college dorm, or it expects to pay $5,400 for labor at $8 [per square yard] suitable carpet. If this job costs $5,400 for labor, I might just drop out of college and lay carpet for a living."

When questioned about the prudence of installing expensive

carpet in an aging building where large chunks of paint are falling off the walls, Hulm said there is a program in the works where students will be asked to volunteer to repaint the walls.

In response to Hulm's statement, Justin Young replied, "If I'm going to pay $6,000 to put carpet in, I'm certainly not going to paint for free." '"Everyone walks through that hall," Young said. "It leads to stairs

to the other floors, and it has an outside entrance right into the hall. I don't think we'll ever find out who did this unless that person himself confesses; which I don't think will happen."

The intention goes beyond collecting the $6,000 or punishing someone for it," Hulm said. He said he believes it will strengthen the community and teach civic responsibility. "Oftentimes, we push students

into hard situations to help them grow," he said. It may not be fair, he said, but "one of the diseases of our society is that nobody wants to take personal responsibility."

In response to Hulm's comments about community responsibility, Young said, "the point of red herring logic is to detract you from the real issue.

That's a tactic he's good at. That's why he has the job he has."

Jarrod Noftsger, Assistant to

Vice President of Student Services, said the students involved have been asked to meet with Hulm to discuss the issue in depth.

"Dr. Gage [Vice President of Student Services] has asked them to meet a resolution to everyone's needs," Noftsger said. • Log on to www. thevistaonline.com 24 hours a day for campus news or to sound off on current issues.

he UCO cheer squad won the Division II National Cheer Association's National Cheerleading Championship April 2 — 7 in Daytona Beach, Fla. defeating 1 89 schools from across the country.

The 21-member team won the first title of its kind in UCO history.

Serendipity DVD release is 'should not miss' romance

or a romantic comedy to work, all sorts of ingredients need to mesh well because the plot is usually quite predictable.

Serendipity, directed by Peter Chelsom- (The Mighty), starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale (Pearl Harbor), has all the best ingredients possible.

Jonathan (Cusack) and Sara (Beckinsale) meet at a Bloomingdale Department Store in New York five days before Christmas over the last pair of black cashmere gloves. Even though each is involved with someone else, they spend the evening sipping coffee and iceskating together.

All is going well until Sara takes her belief in fate to heart. She decides that they should let destiny take over instead of doing something normal people would do under the same circumstances, like leaving each other full names and phone numbers.

Sara buys mints with a fivedollar bill on which Jonathan had written his contact information.

She also promises to sell the book in her bag, Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia

Marquez, after she writes her name and numbers on the inside cover.

Her reason — if they were meant to be together, the bill and the book will make it back to the right hands.

Years pass, Jonathan and Sara each are engaged to be married in the near future — in Jonathan's case, 3 days. They each start to see signs that remind them of the other.

What follows is their journey to find each other, Jonathan with help from his best friend, Dean (Jeremy Piven), and Sara from her best friend, Eve (Molly Shannon).

This film is a modern fairy tale that is done in such stylish fashion and romantic aura that it is impossible not to love it. Sure, we all know this kind of story probably doesn't happen in real life often, if ever. But what would be the fun in going to the movies if we only want to see what's real?

Marc Klein's script never strays from the original premise of believing anything could happen when two people are meant to be together. There is integrity in showing that Jonathan's and Sara's significant others are perfectly wonderful people whose only fault was that they are not the soul mates for Jonathan and Sara.

Cusack is the perfect actor for the role of Jonathan because no one else does the lovable, sweet, tormented and somewhat goofy persona of a guy-in-love better.

This film is no help in curing my hopeless crush on him. Beckinsale is charming and sincere as Sara, and I could definitely understand why Jonathan would fall in love with such a woman.

Piven, who is Cusack's close friend in real life, displays as usual great comic timing and the right amount of sensitivity in his role.
