ax Chambers librarians expanded UCO's cache of research tools this week by subscribing to LexisNexis, a popular database program. The service will cost UCO $22,000 per year, which will be derived from the student technology $4 per credit hour fee tacked on to every student's tuition. Jane Taylor, reference department head for Max Chambers Library said, "We've

had faculty, students, and administrators requesting Lexis-Nexis for several years. Up until now, the service was too expensive, and we had to wait until the student technology fee committee approved the package." Taylor said, "Lexis-Nexis is big-time and name-brand, but it actually only substitutes services we already have like EBSCOhost." Lexis-Nexis Academic Universe is a database offering students and faculty access to five categories of research

The business category provides news and financial information on various companies throughout the world. The legal research category houses information on state, federal, and international law. It also provides full texts for cases and has citations for every U.S. Supreme Court case since 1789. Chambers Library plans to discontinue their Westlaw legal research services in deference to Lexis-Nexis. Taylor said, "Westlaw was very limited. Only one person could use it at a time, and we couldn't network it for outside access." A fourth category covers

he campus wide hiring freeze that was implemented - last December, affecting faculty and staff employment, has been lifted after UCO Administration reviewed the state's third round of statewide budget cuts. Although the hiring freeze has been lifted, a salary freeze will remain in affect allowing the university to be better staffed for the upcoming year.

The reference category has in-depth profiles of every country, biographies of public and historical figures, and a database of thousands of famous quotes. Kevin Hayes, professor of English, was excited about Lexis-Nexis because of its comprehensive news archives. Hayes said, "Lexis-Nexis is the single best database available for searching news. We've had a couple different newspaper databases in past years, and this one is far and above the others." Robert Epstein, professor of general business, previously used the application when it was just called Lexis and mainly contained legal data.

"We think we are putting together a budget plan next year that will avoid another hiring freeze and benefit both faculty and students," Kreidler said. The Office of Administration is planning on sending out memos to departments who had applicants apply for positions during the freeze. Priority will be placed on hiring positions that have direct impact on academic and student services. •

CO has a moved one step forward in the quality of its services offered by subscribing to the online database service LexisNexis. It is the addition of services like this one that will add to and further develop our information-gathering abilities and therefore assist us all in doing more complete and accurate research, writing stronger papers and becoming the smarter folks that the

college experience is intended to help us become. This could also help UCO compete with other universities in terms of academics and research. Thanks to Lexis-Nexis, we can run with the big dogs now! So far there has been little or no opposition to UCO's subscription to Lexis-Nexis. Let us offer up some The question here is one of timing.

Is this the right time to add a $22,000a-year service? Considering the recent budget cuts, might it have been wiser to hold off on Lexis-Nexis for another year? Perhaps if Lexis-Nexis will ensure our winning academic grants or other funding, the timing couldn't be more perfect. •

UCO grad writes book on dating BY ZACH E. NASH

Staff Writer

he only things Gretchen Latham wrote before publishing her first book were law exams and research papers. The papers that she wrote had specific and definite formats that she was required to follow. It left little interest in the craft and turned her off from writing for the pure enjoyment. She never wanted to become a writer until she realized that she had enough knowledge and expertise about the horrors of college dating to fill an entire book. Plus it was the first time she wouldn't have any boundaries or guidelines to follow — she could let her creativity flow. In her book, How to Find a Loser: From A to Z (Or, Stupid

Things That Happen on Dates), Latham documents her misadventures alongside three of her closest friends in the local dating scene from the early 90s until the present. "Every time we would go out on the weekend to places like clubs and the movies. It was inevitable that something terrible would happen as we searched for Mr. Right," Latham said. "At the time all the different situations seemed like they would never end. But you come to the end of it, put it in perspective and

It is divided into 26 short chapters that are titled with a male name or a fictitious stereotypical trait that coincides with the letter of the alphabet. Latham will be the first to say that she knew nothing about the process of writing a book. She graduated from UCO with a bachelor's degree in real estate finance and later went on to Oklahoma City University where

she received her law degree. "Once I came up with the title the writing fell into place. It was kind of like writing a letter to an old friend saying, 'hey, look what happened to me,"' Latham said. After finishing up the final edits of her book, Latham followed the growing trend of aspiring writers that are turning to the Internet in order to publish their works. It only took her a short time to find an online publisher that agreed to publish her humorous stories of love found and lost. With the help of www.booksurge.com , Latham's book went to the press and is getting national publicity both on the web and in the weekly book review magazine in the Sunday edition of the New York Times.

recently entered her script in Matt Damon's and Ben Afleck's "Project Green Light," a contest created for beginning writers. On their website, she said she received a lot of criticism and guidance from people who gathered in chat rooms to discuss and compare their works. Latham says she hopes that readers, especially females, will see the common humor in the typical dating scene that she has portrayed. "I hope that girls read this book and realize that all the bad experiences they have encountered while they are on their journey to find Mr. Right are similar to others and [they] have just as many pitfalls as the next girl," Latham said.

Heit had been to other concentration camps during his other visits to Europe, he said. Leaning back in the chair in his black shirt and khaki pants, Heit speaks as his eyes squinted slightly. "I wanted to see this because Auschwitz-Birkenau supposedly, according to historians, was the most vicious killing grounds, especially of the Jewish population." For Carrell, the trip marked her first time visiting a concentration camp, and she debated whether or not to go. "It was an internal PHOTO PROVIDED BY DR. AMY CARRELL struggle," Carrell said.

Above the main gate of the camp was the inscription "Arbeit macht frei," meaning "work brings freedom," Carrell said. The hallways of the buildings were lined with photos Nazi officials took of the inmates, she said. "In the beginning, they took pictures of everyone they brought in." She points to samples of mug shots that came in sets of three for each person in the museum's guidebook. "It's almost like they are documenting something that they are proud of doing," Carrell said. Heit notes the major difference

between Auschwitz, especially Birkenau, and other concentration camps he had seen before. "Birkenau was built for one purpose," Heit said. "It was a killing ground, a death factory." When people, mostly Jews, were brought in on the train tracks, they were separated into groups of essential and nonessential people, Heit said. The essentials — people who were able to work — were given barracks with straw beds, Heit said. "The tracks went right up there to the camp, if you were nonessentials you were marched off straight to death," Heit said.

Bronchos can't hang with Lady Savages BY DARA LAWLESS

Sports Writer

.. 2 Bronchos softball fell 4-2 and 11-3 in a doubleheader clash of top LSC North Division powers against the No.1 Southeastern Oklahoma State Savages on April 16. Devastating and untimely errors haunted UCO in its struggle against the Savages as the hard-hitting SOSU offense made its warpath through Edmond. The Bronchos gave SOSU a 1-0 head start in the second inning of the first game when combined errors turned a simple base hit into a run scored for the Savages. Another unearned run scored for Southeastern in the top of the sixth before UCO bats could rally. In the bottom of the sixth, April Ferrall started a two out rally by nailing a line drive past the pitcher to gain first base. Shauna Perry smashed a two-run homer over the left field fence to tie the game 2-2. The Bronchos couldn't hold on as the Savages' bats earned two runs for the 4-2 lead in the top of the seventh. SOSU

claimed the win after the Bronchos failed to score in their half of the inning. Once again in the second game, the Savages came out swinging early with a two-run homer to open the first inning with a 2-0 lead. UCO scored one through some handy base running on the corners to make it 2-1 going into the second. UCO missed a good scoring opportunity in the second inning when they left the bases loaded. SOSU padded their lead 4-1 in the third off of another UCO error that gave up two runs. The Bronchos were undaunted in the bottom of the fifth as Ferrall led off with a base hit. Julie Cyr followed by smashing a two-run homer to put UCO within one, 4-3. Southeastern didn't allow the Bronchos to hang very close as their bats and a failing UCO defense totaled seven runs in the drawn out sixth inning. The Savages run ruled UCO 11-3 after the Bronchos failed to score in the bottom of the sixth. UCO looks to begin their winning streak anew when they host St. Mary's in a doubleheader April 18 at 12 p.m. â&#x20AC;˘

ryan Coy and Justin Carroll led a 19-hit barrage propelling the Bronchos to an 11-6 win and three-game series sweep of East Central in Ada April 15. Coy and Carroll had four hits and two RBIs each and the Bronchos came out early scoring six runs in the first to knock-off the Tigers. "We were swinging the bats well from the start and got a good lead early, which enabled Kyle (Dover) to relax on the mound," UCO coach Wendell Simmons said. "Kyle threw a good game for us and we got a lot of production up and down the lineup at the plate." Rothy Briggs, David Jones and Travis Davidson each had two hits for the Bronchos who scored 34 runs in the three-game series. The seven-hit, six-run first was highlighted by a two-run double from Carroll and RBIs base hits from Jones, Davidson and Rogers. Coy added two hits in the inning as the Bronchos

hatted around. Coy added an RBI single in the third to put UCO up 7-0. Mike Hill knocked in another run in the fourth as the Bronchos built a 8-0 lead. ECU was finally able to put something together in the fourth with a single run. Dover pitched seven strong innings giving up three runs on seven hits while striking out six to move to 4-1 on the year. The Tigers managed two more runs in the fifth but fizzled for only one more run the rest of the way.

Excellent cast, stylish mystery accent The Usual Suspects DVD

ne of the most brilliant movies of the 90s is finally being released in a special edition DVD that is worthy of the film itself. The Usual Suspects, is directed by Bryan Singer (X-Men), and written by Christopher McQuarrie, who won an Oscar for this script. The mesmerizing and stylish mystery with moody direction from Singer accomplished the task of drawing the audience in and telling a tale that all will remember after viewing the film. The excellent cast includes

Kevin Spacey (American Beauty), Gabriel Byrne (Little Women, The Man in the Iron Mask), Stephen Baldwin (Bio - Dome, Threesome), Kevin Pollak (Grumpy Old Men, The Whole Nine Yards) and Benicio Del Toro (Traffic) as five criminals who are often rounded up by the police for the same crimes. When the five crooks decide to join forces and plot a heist, they soon realize that someone else is controlling their fate. That someone is Keyser Soze, a mysterious underground crime lord whose true identity no one knows. The story is told mainly in a conversation between Verbal Kint (Spacey) and an FBI agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri) after a fire had apparently killed all other

role, and Palminteri are simply fantastic. What makes this script work so well is the fact that the good guys and bad guys are portrayed with equal intelligence, and the dialogue is brilliant throughout the entire film. This special edition DVD includes two different tracks of commentary. Singer's and McQuarrie's joint commentary is not only entertaining but also informative. These two have been friends for a long time, and it shows in the conversation. The other one is by the film editor and music score composer John Ottman which is more technically oriented, but still excellent.

World Within reunion slated for April 23 BY LAURA BELLO

Senior Writer .11 out the kites and Frisbees because the World Within will host the Reunion Picnic from 4 – 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23, at Evans Field. "It's like a family reunion," said general chairman for the World

Within Steering Committee Ron Bogle. World Within began in October in response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The program paired international students and American students with one UCO faculty member or community sponsor. All the students who participated

in the fall event and new international students enrolled at UCO this semester are invited to attend. "We invited all students who participated in the October event. We're also inviting students at large," Bogle said. He said this event will be less formal than the one in the fall.

"It [the fall World Within event] was closely following the tragedy of September and it was more ceremonial — more solemn. It was a chance to reflect in a somber way of the events that occurred," Bogle said. He hopes the event on Tuesday will reinforce the importance of community at the university. He said they anticipate 500 – 600 people to attend. The donated food includes fried

chicken, beans, cole slaw and soft drinks for 500 people. He said of the over 1,000 people who were involved in World Within, many have met with their families and some have not. Students can register to attend by April 19 in the Nigh University Center in Room 137, the International Office, or Room 424, the Campus Life Office, where they will receive a meal ticket. •

Why is it so hard for a 30 year-old to think about retirement? When you're young, retirement planning is pretty far down on your list of concerns. Say, somewhere between the melting polar ice caps and dishpan hands. And that's completely understandable. But by planning early and sticking to that plan, you can increase the money you'll have to enjoy retirement, and potentially decrease the years you'll spend working, We offer a range of different options, including tax-deferred retirement plans, SRAs, and IRAs, all with low expenses, Now that's something to fall in love with.

CAMPS: Polish government turned concentration camps into memorials continued from page 5 The non-essentials were told that they would get a shower in the gas chambers with non-functioning shower fixtures in the ceiling, and were given ticket stubs for their suitcases, Heit said. "Suitcases that they would never claim." Right before the non-essentials went in the room, their watches, jewelry, glasses and artificial limbs would be stripped off, Heit said. "And then they were herded in, packed in just like sardines in a can." The Nazi officials then dropped in the Cyclon B, poisonous crystals that turn to gas when they are opened, Heit and Carrell said. The concentration camp workers then pulled the bodies out and checked for gold teeth, Heit said. Carrell said the workers also shaved the hair off the bodies. "They used the hair to make cloth," Carrell said. Heit said that hair was also useful in making parachutes or for medical purposes. "During World War II, the United States encouraged women to cut their hair short because we can use the hair," Heit said. After the concentration camp workers took all useful things off the dead, those bodies were burned, Heit said. The Auschwitz camp was liberated on January 27, 1945 and the Polish government turned it into a memorial in 1947, Heit said. In each building, visitors can see artifacts left from the concentration camp days including clothes, hair, and many photos, Heit and Carrell said.

Keating signs telemarketing act FROM WIRE REPORTS

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Frank Keating signed legislation Monday to prohibit telemarketers from calling consumers who have put their names on a "no-call" list. Under the measure, the state Attorney General's Office must publicize a notice to consumers that a no-telemarketing-salescall registry has been created.

PHOTO BY ELISE CARR

Look out!

The office will maintain the list and will make it available to telemarketers for a fee as well as prosecute violations. The bill takes effect July 1, but the no-call list won't be ready until Jan. 1. The measure's author, Sen. Keith Leftwich of Oklahoma City, said there has been strong public interest in legislation to prevent unsolicited telemarketing calls. â&#x20AC;˘

University to offer Ph.D.s in Holocaust, genocide history BY ADAM GORLICK

Dwork calls the expanded doctoral degrees in Holocaust history in 1998, students at Clark program "an idea of startling University focused on the obvious simplicity," but Holocaust experts place and time: Eastern Europe say it's unique. While other schools offer undergraduate during World War II. Now, they'll start looking to programs and masters degrees in places like Rwanda, Cambodia Holocaust history and genocide and Armenia for other examples studies, they don't have Ph.D. of mass murder and systematic programs that combine both topics, they say. annihilation "I don't know of any other Four years after launching the country's -first Ph.D. program in program like it in the country," Holocaust history, Clark is said William Shulman, president expanding it to include genocide of the Association of Holocaust studies. The school plans to Organizations. "Holocaust and officially announce the addition genocide studies are a decadeand-a-half old. It takes a long Tuesday. "The Holocaust is fascinating time to develop a doctoral degree by itself," said Deborah Dwork, program that blends the two." And Clark's timing is perfect, director of the 2,000-student Dwork said. school's Center for Holocaust and "It's clear that there are Genocide Studies. "But we want to put it in context with other genocidal ideologies in the Associated Press

Middle East," she said. "As long as there are calls for the targeted destruction of a nation, there's a risk of genocide. It's our job to understand that academically, and then offer the information to the political arena." Clark will keep the five-year Ph.D. program small, admitting only two or three students each year. By September, when the program begins, 10 students will be enrolled, Dwork said. Three full-time professors already teach exclusively for the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. The Center is creating an endowed chair in Armenian genocide studies with a $1.2 million donation from Carolyn Mugar, heiress to the Star Markets grocery chain fortune, and her late husband, John O'Connor. David Strassler, a Clark trustee and former national chairman of the Anti Defamation League,

donated $ 4 million for the Center's endowment. The Strassler family gave $2 million to endow a professorship in Holocaust history in 1997. Students enrolled in the program have zeroed in on specific aspects of the Holocaust, such as Nazi propaganda that dehumanized Jews, or how some Poles and Germans were silent as their neighbors were deported to concentration camps. But they've only skimmed the surface of other genocides, which are defined by the United Nations as the intentional destruction of the foundations of a people or nation. The new program will allow students to focus on political and sociological reasons behind genocides in places like East Timor, Ethiopia and Cambodia. "By looking at these different genocides, we start to see patterns," Dwork said. "And when we see those patterns in history, we can recognize them when they happen today and help prevent them." Prevention is the main concern of the students enrolled

in the program. Some plan to become museum curators, diplomats, foreign policy advisers or human rights watchdogs. Others are planning to take their doctoral degrees into grade school classrooms. "I want to grab kids when they're young and foster in them a revulsion for countries that stand by while innocent people are being butchered," said Richard Hitchens, a 27-year-old from London, Ontario, who is in his third year of the Ph.D. program. "Until you do that, you can't prevent genocide. As long as genocide is tolerated, it will continue." While tiny Clark University may be at the forefront of focusing academic attention on the Holocaust and other genocides, it isn't expecting to monopolize the topic. "If we succeed with this program, then the bigger schools will probably overwhelm us with programs of their own," said Edward Kissi, a professor who specializes in genocides in developing countries. "But we can say that we led the way." •

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge ruled a school district did not deprive a fourth-grade student of his constitutional rights when it barred him from wearing a Green Bay Packers jersey to a Minnesota Vikings party. Rocky Sonkowsky and his father, Roy, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the New Prague School District in December 2000, alleging that his right to freedom of expression was violated. The lawsuit said Rocky, who was a 9-year-old attending New Prague Intermediate School, was barred from a party at the Vikings headquarters in Eden Prairie in 1999 because he wanted to wear his Packers jersey. The district denied punishing Rocky for cheering for the Packers. Officials said a teacher had spoken with Rocky on several occasions

about disrespectful behavior toward staff and students and that his punishment was related to those instances. Judge Ann Montgomery ruled Wednesday that while elementary school students are entitled to some First Amendment protection, they do not possess the same protection as high school students. The U.S. Supreme Court hasn't directly decided where to draw the line but it has suggested that fourth-graders don't have the same rights as high school students. In this case, Montgomery wrote there is no constitutional right for a 9year-old to wear a Packers jersey to elementary school.

NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan woman is seeking some pirate's treasure in a lawsuit that claims a snack food company foiled her diet. Her $50 million suit against the makers of Pirate's Booty corn and rice puffs claims she suffered "emotional distress" because the snack contained three times more fat than its label advertised. Meredith Berkman, 37, said in papers filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court that the mislabeled snack caused her "weight gain ... mental anguish, outrage and indignation."

STRANGE: Pennsylvania woman pays the price for overdue library books continued from page 18 Pirate's Booty, manufactured by Robert's American Gourmet Food, Inc., of Roslyn, L.I., was recalled in January after the Good Housekeeping Institute found it contained 147 calories and 8.5 grams of fat, while its label said it contained only 120 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. The company claimed the discrepancy was a result of new machinery that changed the nutritional information on three of its snacks — Pirate's Booty, Veggie Booty and Fruity Booty. A message left at the company was not immediately returned, but a statement on its Web site said that "These changes have made Pirate's Booty a more consistent and better snack." The new version contains 5 grams of fat, which was verified by Good Housekeeping. Berkman, a free-lance writer, told The New York Post that she would donate any money she is awarded to an eating disorder center.

Theresa Dawn Keller, of Tamaqua, failed to return three books to the Hazleton Public Library, authorities said. On Tuesday, a judge sent her to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, where she will remain until she pays $120 for the books, according to court papers and jail officials. The missing works, according to court documents, are "Star Trek," "Triangle," and "Fall of Freddie the Leaf." "She does still owe us money; it is a violation of the crimes code. She had a huge bill," said reference librarian Jane Dougherty, who filed a private criminal complaint against Keller. The books were checked out Sept. 14, 2000, and became due Oct. 5, 2000. A bill charging Keller $40 per book was sent Oct. 26, 2000. Dougherty said charges are filed against patrons who don't pay a bill or return books after the library sends them a notice, but only those who ignore a court HAZLETON, Pa.

BY BETH HULL

Editor in Chief elp! Help! I'm shrinking! Well, not really, but it seems my column space has been getting shorter and shorter each week. Usually something like this would just mean that I had to do less work, which as Martha Stewart puts it, is "a good thing." However, I have a sneaking suspicion that the culprit behind these deteriorating column inches is a problem more sinister - more depraved than anything we've seen in the United States' grand and relatively short history. I fear it's part of a larger conspiracy that transcends those of Kennedy's assassination, Area 51 and the National Dairy Council's attempts to provide 100 percent of your daily supply of calcium. Is the problem here poor layout planning? I'm afraid not.

The Vista's advertising department is slowly chipping away at my column inches in an effort to silence me. This may sound strange, but it's true, and is happening right here on the UCO campus. I've overheard the department's sinister laughter as they prepare the template - snickering about ending my pseudo-career as a columnist. Little do they know that the joke is on them. After this semester, I will no longer be on The Vista staff. HA! Until then, loyal readers, send me an e-mail at stanggir170@yahoo.com to show your support of this column. Better yet, drop by and speak to anyone in the ad department. They will likely dismiss this as a joke of some sort, but don't pay any attention to them. Picket if necessary. My boyfriend is insisting that this is purely wishful thinking on my part, but surely someone cares. Please? Oh well. For the rest of you who don't give a flip about my column, apply for a job with our ad department. They can always use more people. •

Beth Hull's column appears every Thursday in The Vista. You can reach her via e-mail at stanggirl70@yahoo.com .
