The votes are in...

Harris, Cook win UCOSA election By N. David Owens

StaIfWriter

he votes are in, and the new elected leaders of the student body are Daniel Harris and Chris Cook.

The proposed policy allowing alcohol at off campus student events as well as certain on campus events and the proposed 24hour visitation policy both passed by a landslide. Harris, the new UCO student association (UCOSA) president elect, campaigned on a platform of a 24-hour computer lab, a parking garage, and a "true dead week" before finals. "I'm glad it's over, and just ready to get on with next year. I want to congratulate the other candidates for a good race...and want to say thanks to everybody who supported me and my campaign staff," Harris said. Harris, who received 68 percent of the vote in the three-way race, was endorsed by current UCOSA president and fraternity brother Jarrett Jobe, as well as UCOSA senators Michael Willis and Terry Long. Cook, the new UCOSA vice president elect, campaigned on a platform of improving student life, parking, and fixing the frequently non-working emergency call boxes system on campus. Cook was unavailable for comment following the election. Cook, who received 75 percent of the vote in the two-way race, was endorsed by Jobe and Long. Angie Clemens received 27 percent of the vote for president, and last-minute candidate Patricia Gooden took 5 percent. Joe Smaligo took 25 percent of the vice-presidential vote. The newly elected leaders will take office at the last UCOSA meeting of the year, with Cook moving over from the house of representatives to relieve Harris, and Harris relieving outgoing president Jarrett Jobe. "I'm just happy to see that a lot of people came out and voted, and I am sure the new guys will do a great job," Jobe said. Eighty-four percent of the student body voted to allow 24-hour visitation in the dorms. Seventy-five percent of the student body voted in favor of allowing the new alcohol policy to go into effect. Both policies will now go before President Webb to be signed before they can become official. Five hundred students turned out to the polls on election Wednesday to cast their votes for the two officers and the two policies. "It took us a while to count them because so many showed up," said Bill Carrington, one of two students responsible for counting the ballots under faculty observation. Even though the number that voted was slightly larger than expected, it was approximately 0.3 percent of the student body.

Dear Editor:

John Lurry /The Vista

ISTA

Reader unhappy with The Vista coverage at award ceremony am writing in reference to the article in the April 4 issue of The Vista titled "UCO students honored at journalism awards" by Mike Greer. First of all, the article was published more than a month after the awards banquet, when it was no longer news. Second, the article failed to mention a former student and graduate of UCO named James Gutzmer. He was the 2nd place winner of sports feature writing in the division B.

If you are going to write an article discussing the achievements of the UCO journalist who still attend or have graduated from UCO you should take the time to make sure all are included. It seems very funny to me that James Gutzmer was left out since he was the sports editor for The Vista not too long ago. It also seems ironic to me that an article about journalism awards was done in a poor journalistic matter. Thank you, Rachel Ferguson-Gutzmer

Okay, so you've graduated; now what? By Zach Anderson

NatWriter

ere it comes...looming in the near future... that wonderful, magical, exhilarating yet utterly terrifying milestone known as graduation. However, as it is well known, with every celebrated triumph comes a fresh supply of new-sprung opportunities and challenges. For the UCO class of 2000, the first of these new challenges is the pursuit of a job in a chosen career field. The same nagging questions haunt seniors every year. Where to look for a job? How to find a good job in a chosen field? How to secure a place in my chosen occupation? With the dawning of the new millennium, more and more students are turning to the field of technology as the pathway toward a profitable future. However, according to Gina Eastman, director of the UCO Career Development and Placement Service, the most important aspect when looking

for a job isn't what you are doing or how much you are makings but what you like. "The (career) fields seeing the most growth and pay are, obviously, those within technology,",Eastman said. "But more important than looking to a growing career field is looking for a job that you will be happy and satisfied with." The. Career Development and Placement service is specifically designed to aid all students, not just seniors, in finding the jobs they will be contented with following graduation. The mission statement of the Career Development and Placement service states that it is to "provide comprehensive career programs and services for students and alumni of the University of Central Oklahoma throughout their working lives." "Basically, we provide students with help on job searches, resumes, cover letters, interviewing skills, and other essentials that are necessary in finding a quality job," Eastman said.

"Anyone can go out and find a `McJob' any day of the week. What we do is help you find the job that you really want, the one that you are spending your time here in school working toward." Although it's never too late for a student to take advantage of the Career services, Eastman recommends that students begin becoming oriented with the program during the freshman year. "During the freshman year, we can work with students on their resumes, that is, we can sit down with them and make out a plan of what they will wanton their resume when they graduate," Eastman said. "This way, by the time they graduate, we will have worked with them and developed a good resume, and that student will have a great chance of finding a satisfying job." It typically takes anywhere from six to eight months to find a good job through the service, but that process

Here, students can find information on internships, job links for every UCO major, resume and cover letter tips, tips on job searching, and other types

Library construction irks some students By Mike Greer

Staitn ot,,

CO students have lost use of much of the library's first floor due to construction. The northwest quarter of the first floor fl000r in the Max Chambers Library is being transformed into office space for the college of education. "We'll have two departments there: Advanced Professional Studies, which will be 10 people and Curriculum and Instruction which will be 14," said Dr. Pamela Fly, assistant dean of education. "We'll have 24 faculty, space for support staff and a conference room," she said. Currently, education faculty and staff are spread around the campus. "We have people on the top floor of the president's house and it's just not built to support the weight of the desks and file cabinets. The first concern is their safety," Dr. Fly said. The construction is a concern of many students.

"I'm not pleased about it. It's really loud and it seems like something they could have done over the summer," said Matt Kane, UCO Reading Room employee. "If it's for education people, why didn't they think of it when they built the multi-million dollar education building three years ago?" Kane said. For the students who use the library as a place to study, the noise and inconvenience is an issue. "It's kind of noisy and distracting," said Maya Kotani, marketing sophomore. The constant noise is disrupting to students trying to study. "They should do it after hours," said Melissa Brewer, photography freshman. For others, the inconveniences are minimal. "I come here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday between classes to read for my next class. The only thing that bothers me is they'll close the coffee bar randomly," said Cody Feuerborn, philosophy

sophomore. The space being renovated was occupied with law materials and study space. "We moved law materials to other departments and some were just eliminated," said Carol Barry, director of public services in the Max Chambers Library. Some students and library staff complain this construction is counteracting the recent expansion of the library. The construction completed in June 1997 added 98,000 square feet to the library. The construction currently taking place is affecting 5,625 square feet of the library. "This is to meet urgent needs —Photo by J.W. Reagor right now.

UCO plays well in Broncho Invitational EDMOND - Both Central Oklahoma tennis teams went 3-2 in the rugged Broncho Intercollegiate Invitational that finished a three-day run Saturday night, with the Bronchos placing sixth in the 16-team men's field and seventh in the 15-team women's tournament. UCO's men had a 2-1 record in pool play on Thursday and Friday, opening with a 5-2 win over Indianapolis then blitzed Northern Colorado 5-0 before falling to Drury 5-0. The Bronchos got clinching singles victories from Artin Tafazoli and Eduardo Caldas in the win over Indianapolis, with Caldas and Aldo Zerega and Caldas winning singles bouts against UNC after UCO swept thethree doubles matches to seize control early. The Bronchos opened bracket competition Saturday morning against intrastate-rival Cameron and built an early 4-1 lead before holding on for a thrilling 5-4 victory in a duel that took nearly six hours to complete. Michael Jones capped the win against Cameron, capturing the final three games to rally for a 6-4 triumph in the third and final set at No. 6 singles. UCO led the Aggies 2-1 after the doubles and got straight set singles wins from Tafazoli and Henry So to make it 4-1. But Cameron won three consecutive three-set singles bouts to tie the match and leave it up to Jones, who responded with a clutch 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 win. That win put the Bronchos in the fifth-place match,

where Midwestern State won 5-4 for its third win of the season over UCO. MSU led 2-1 after doubles, but the Bronchos got wins from Tafazoli, So and Zerega in taking a 4-2 lead before the Indians won the final three singles matches to take the win. UCO's women also had a 2-1 record in pool play, falling to Eastern New Mexico 5-0 in the first round before rebounding for a 5-2 win over Missouri Southern and a 6-0 blanking of St. Cloud State. The Bronchos rallied from a 2-1 deficit after the doubles competition to defeat MSSC, getting straight set singles wins from Marina Erchova, Jill Woodard, Abby Frick and Angie Woodard. UCO grabbed control against St. Cloud by sweeping the three doubles matches, then polished off that easy win with lopsided singles victories by Erchova, Frick and Leticia Lozada. The Bronchos fell to top-seeded Northeastern State 5-1 in the first round of Saturday's bracket play as sisters Jill and Angie Woodard teamed up for UCO's only win at No. 2 doubles. Central then finished the tournament with the 5-4 win over Cameron to take seventh and avenge an early-season loss to the Lady Aggies. The Bronchos led 2-1 after doubles, then got singles wins from Erchova, Jill Woodard and Frick in capturing the match. —From staff reports

Broncho Baseball continue to struggle EDMOND - Central Oklahoma's baseball struggles continuedSaturday afternoon at wind-blown Broncho Field as Arkansas Tech swept a doubleheader from the Bronchos. UCO looked in good shape in Saturday's opener with a 4-1 sixth-inning lead and ace Kyle Dover ,on the mound, but the Wonderboys got a three-run home run to tie it and went on to claim a 6-4 eight-inning victory then took a 6-2 win in the nightcap. The Bronchos, losing for the fifth straight time and the 10th time in their last 13 outings, fell to 24-16. UCO built a 4-1 first-game lead on a Rothy Briggs RBI single, Rod Richardson sacrifice fly and a two-run home run by Brent Gigerich, but it wasn't enough. ATU's Jason Anderson had the big blow in the sixth with a three-run home to tie it, then he added an RBI double in the eighth when the Wonderboys scored twice to make it 6-4. Relief ace John Carter then came on to shut UCO down in the eighth and record his eighth save of the season. The Bronchos managed just six hits, with Gigerich and David Jones getting two apiece. The Bronchos jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the second contest as Josh Barnard had an RBI single, with ATU tying

Wranglers win inaugural game By Justin Villines

SportsEditor OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma Wranglers opened their first-ever season of Arena Football in electric fashion with a 62-51 win over the Buffalo Destroyers in front of 12,028 rowdy fans. Wranglers' head coach Bob Cortese had nothing but good things to say about the teams first-ever win. "I'm really proud of the guys and the way they played. It was a great win for us and the fans of the Oklahoma," Cortese said. The Wranglers jumped on the Destroyers for 20 straight points to open the game. Oklahoma scored first when quarterback Ron Lopez connected with wide receiver Brian Greene on a 32-yard pass to take a 7-0 lead with 13:40 left in the first quarter. Oklahoma went up 14-0 when Lopez threw a 10-yard pass to Carlos Johnson. The Wranglers scored again to take a 20-0 lead on a two-yard run by Ron Perry. Buffalo finally scored at the 11:00 mark of the second quarter, when Tony Jones rumbled in from 1-yard out to cut the Wranglers to 20-7. But the Wranglers answered

with a Lopez-to-Melvin Phillips 21-yard touchdown pass to take a 27-7 lead with 9:45 left before halftime. After a 29-yard touchdown pass from Buffalo's Browning Nagle to Bobby Olive, the Destroyers crept closer on Stanley's Petry's 10-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown. The Wranglers led just 27-21 with 7:15 left in the second quarter. Daron Alcorn nailed a 54-yard field goal to give the Wranglers a 30-21 lead, then Lopez and Johnson connected again for 14-yard touchdown pass to extend the Wranglers' lead to 37-21 with 1:00 left until intermission. A 19-yard field Buffalo's Mike Black made the score 37-24 at halftime. The Wranglers again took a 20-point lead at 44-24 early in the second half. Lopez three his fifth touchdown of the game, this time a 13-yard pass to Kusanti AbdulSalaam. The Destroyers made it interesting down the stretch as

they scored on back-to-back drives 1:00 apart to cut the Wranglers lead to 44-38 going into the fourth quarter. Two Bobby McGowens touchdown receptions put the Wranglers up 56-44 with 3:05 left. But Nagle hooked up with Chris Perry on a 46-yard catchand-run to pull Buffalo as close as it had been at 56-51 with 6:54 left in the game. Buffalo threatened to take the lead late in the game, but the Wranglers' defense forced a 23-yard field goal attempt with 2:22 remaining. Black missed and Oklahoma clinched the victory with a 21-yard pass from Lopez to McGowens with :56 left. Lopez won the Most Valuable Player award with 253 yards on 24-34 passing and eight touchdowns. "Lopez is the real deal, he is in the top five of the league," Cortese said. "If he stays healthy, we can do some damage." Offensive specialist Carlos Johnson led the Wranglers with 10 receptions for 103 yards and two touchdowns.

UCO SIFE students win $3,000 in regional competition By Allison Franklin

Staff mer even UCO students were recently named Regional Champions at the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) regional competition held April 3 in Forth Worth, Texas. The team won $3,000 and the opportunity to compete in the Hallmark Cards/SIFE International Exposition and Career Opportunity Fair May 21 through 23 in Kansas City, Missouri. SIFE is a course offered in the spring semester at UCO and is also an organization open to all students. The purpose of the program is to teach teambuilding skills and give students hands-on learning for the workforce. "S11-E encourages students to take what they are learning in the classroom and apply it to

real-life situations," said Billye Hansen, UCO professor of general business who was named the Sam Walton First Enterprise fellow for her SIFE leadership. This year, eight students are enrolled in the SIFE course. Fifteen additional students are active in the SIFE organization. SIFE has been a program at UCO for the past five years. Last year, UCO's team won the Regional Championship and received first runner-up in the semi-final competition at the international exposition. Over 600 SIFE teams currently compete in 48 states and 15 countries. Forty teams competed in the regional competition in Fort Worth. These teams were divided into five leagues. "We competed against eight other teams. The judging procedure was very structured,"

SIFE encourages students to take what they are learning in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dr. BiIlye Hansen Professor of General Business Hansen said. "First, the judges had 10 minutes to read a six page written report our SIFE team members prepared. Then we had 24 minutes to do a Microsoft PowerPoint media presentation and speech," Hansen said. The report and presentation each focused on the activities UCO's SIFE team conducted last year.

Following the presentation, the judges had 10 minutes to ask the team questions. "The judges were mainly presidents and vice presidents of Fortune 500 companies across the region," Hansen said. The international exposition will be judged like the regional competition, Hansen said. "Our team will be making virtually the same presentation,

but we will add video to it," Hansen said. "I don't expect us to win because we don't have enough students involved, but I hope we make it to the semi-finals," she said. UCO's SIFE team presentation focuses on the variety of educational outreach projects the team conducted last year. Their Around the World Cruise program was named one of the top 15 SIFE programs in the nation. The team received a $500 cash award and will receive $3,000 more if they win at the international exposition. The purpose of the program, which was designed by SIFE member Emily Dake, was to teach third-graders about business.

SIFE Continued from page 10 To accomplish this, the SIFE team created a cruise ship at Bridge Creek Elementary school. The ship housed different countries, which were represented by international students from UCO. The children performed different tasks in each country, such as producing an item, selling it and bartering it. The students were tested on basic business terms before and after participating in the program, and scores rose 53 percent. Other programs the SIFE team has participated in are Junior Achievement, Making the Grade and Make a Difference Day for Guthrie Junior High School Students. The team has also helped Rose State College and St. Gregory's College establish SIFE teams and plans to help Rose State's SIFE team conduct an elementary school program April 21. Members of UCO's SIFE team roster and their majors are: Zane Benson, accounting;

Emily Dake, theater arts/communication education; Teresa Goggins, business administration; Scott Markowitz, political science; Neo Lilly Phaphane, graphic arts; Ronald Quan, master of business administration; and Larry Wood, computer science. Hansen encourages UCO students to get involved with SIFE. "There are always career fairs at the competitions and SIFE students c_an get hired so easily," she said. Joining SIFE is also a great way to make connections with influential people, Hansen said. "Last year, my students had lunch with the president of Kimberly-Clark and the vice president of Mars candy," she said. Membership applications for SIFE are located outside Thatcher Hall, Room 143. Members do not have to pay dues and are notified by e-mail of meetings and functions. For more information, call. Hansen at 974-2483. )1T)

Student travels to Bosnia in National Guard peacekeeping effort By N. David Owens

hen most students think of spending a school year abroad, they imagine being surrounded by museums, food and culture, not tanks, refugees and land mines. Freshman Kenneth Albrecht

is a private first class in the Oklahoma National Guard as well as a cadet in ROTC. His Guard unit has been called up from their civilian jobs to beef up peacekeeping efforts in Bosnia, located in a region that has been at war off and on for centuries, and indeed spawned both world wars

Programming Board celebrates end of semester Concerts, movie cookout scheduled By Michael Ross

No[Writer

s the school year returns its tray tables and seats to their full upright position, the Student Programming Board (SPB) at UCO seized the opportunity to close the semester with a string of events. On Monday, The Martini Kings brought their live show to th University Center Ballroom courtesy of SPB and the UCO Swing Club in conjunction with Greek Week activities. The performance was the finale of the recent series of concerts presented by SPB. "SPB is always interested in coprogramming with other organizations, and this gave us the chance to work with the Swing Club," said Kristen Eckstein, SPB sponsor. "This kind of event offered

a casual way for us to entertain students as well as attract people from other corners of campus," Eckstein said, noting the broad appeal of the concert to students, faculty, and the community. The concert also presented students with an opportunity to end their tenures as wallflowers thanks to free swing dance lessons. Since their late 1990s inception, the Martini Kings have attracted a large amount of attention locally and regionally, entertaining large audiences with their repertoire of covers and originals, blending styles ranging from swing numbers in full Louis Prima fashion to pop and rock with a definite jazz sensibility. Their local fame has culminated thus far with the band being chosen as 1999's "Best Band in OKC" by the Oklahoma Gazette. The band has also co-

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kristen Eckstien Student Programming Board Sponsor headlined with acts ranging from Aussie new-wave veterans Men at Work to rap pioneers The Sugar Hill Gang. On Tuesday, April 18th, SPB will present a showing of the 1999 hit "The Sixth Sense," in cooperation with

the University Center Activities Board and the Residence Hall Association. The following Thursday, April 20th, the board will be manning the grill for an Earth Day cookout along the shores of Broncho Lake.

While SPB is in the process of closing out their year, they are already beginning to develop more activities for the UCO campus in the coming semesters first on their plate will be the 2000 installment of UCO's Battle of the Bands, followed by continued bookings of musical acts. "We have plans to do more concerts in the future because students seem to be drawn to them," Eckstein said. "Our challenge is to find the type of concerts that would attract students. If anyone on campus has ideas as to who we should pursue they should contact us." For more information about Student Programming, contact Eckstein in the Student Activities office at 974-2363.

"The facilitator, the text, the format and other participants enabled me to reflect upon leadership in a new way that was energizing and enlightening," said Dr. Judith Cole, dean of the UCO College of Education. Literature for the academy emphasizes the relevancy of the program. "The leadership model presented is valuable theoretically and practically," said Dr. Cathy Burden, superintendent of Union Public Schools. "The discussions and the group made the experience relevant, enjoyable and meaningful," Burden said.
