Phone system groundwork laid, July deadline set By Lisa Tatum S7affWritor

new phone number and a $1.2 million phone system will keep UCO phones ringing into the next century. Lucent Technology was awarded a contract to replace the university phone system in December and workers started laying underground cable for the system this month, said Ron Beard, director of telecommunications. The system, which will be in place July 31, will offer faster and more reliable service, said Beard. The current phone system was installed in 1984 and parts for the system were discontinued in 1986, making repairs and maintenance expensive and time consuming, he explained. Furthermore, the current system is not equipped to handle the date change in the year 2,000. "Our system now runs off atomic time," said Beard. "It wouldn't recognize the year 2,000—the phones would just stop ringing." Only 192 new phone sets will be distributed to administrators and staff, but the new system will give every phone on campus access to new features like threeparty conferencing, call waiting, auto redial, speed dialing and in some cases, caller ID. Beard said all phones on campus will By Darrell J.

sk yourself this, "Do I believe in the First Amendment, the rights that it guarantees? Really? Do I?" Be careful before you answer that. Consider this— by guaranteeing everyone the right to free speech, it means not only does the average citizen have the right to speak out, but also that Nazis and racists and terrorists have that same right. And, by guaranteeing freedom of religion, we also enable satanists to practice their faith. And, by giving the press unhindered freedom to print whatever they deem newsworthy, we also ensure extremists a voice. Heck of a trade-off, huh? Well, I for one will take it any day over the alternative, because the power to censor information amounts to absolute power. Call me cynical, but I don't trust anyone that much. Because of the recent debate by administrators over where the funding for your campus newspaper should come from, it might be possible that in the future the news you receive could be censored.

THE VISTA

Right now, a small portion of your student activity fees pays for the portion of The Vista that isn't raised by our advertising department. As a consequence, the paper truly is "The student voice," uncensored, and free from intrusion. Right now administrators are trying to decide the merits of keeping the funding through this source or transferring it to the general fund. If it were transferred, it would give officials in our administration control of the paper's purse strings. No one is trying to say that that power would be exercised, but do we really want to take that chance? Over the course of three recent afternoons more than 400 students eagerly signed a petition to keep their newspaper funded through their activity fees. Many expressed shock and confusion as to why anyone would even propose a change. Even students who vehemently disagreed with some of the content of the paper signed the petition. They realized the foundation of the very freedoms we enjoy in this country are based largely on freedom of the press. Let's keep it that way.

Satirizing personal tragedy equals too much free speech, says student

his letter is a response to the editorial cartoon in last Thursday's issue of The Vista, and a call for a retraction and apology to Stacey Aldridge and his family and friends. Contrary to the opinion of The Vista staff—I spoke with five of them on Friday it is my belief that last week's editorial cartoon oversteps the bounds of journalistic ethics. Granted that the bounds of journalism have been stretched to the utmost in recent history, and some might argue that there is no such thing, "free speech is absolute," but I dare say that any reasonable person would agree this be the case. Steven wouldn't even say that! Just the opposite, a reasonable person refrains from this absolutist perspective, because they respect the rights of others and expect that respect for their rights. Furthermore, you certainly don't kick a person when they're down. I call this revictimization, and believe that the image of Stacy Aldridge under a car and surrounded by

snide, or sarcastic, or satirical, or derogatory, or mocking captions as a part of a cartoon is obviously poking fun at, or making light of, or satirizing a personal tragedy, regardless of the causal factors. This is an injustice, a re-victimization of the victims of the accident, and at least deserves an apology. However, The Vista staff defends their position a couple ways. The first of which is a bit counter-intuitive. It states that editorial cartoons aren't meant to elicit a funny ha-ha reaction because they use satire. Well, satire is a comedic approach just as much as slapstick—sorry that just doesn't fly. Please don't deny that editorial cartoons, as much as they are intended to make people think about issues from a different perspective, get laughs. Personal tragedy shouldn't be satirized. The second argument isn't a defense but rather an attack. It amounts to a bunch of questions. For instance: "Why aren't the fraternity people giving any comments on the situation?" and "How are the fraternities dealing

with the problem of irresponsibility?" and "Why is everybody addressing the cartoon and not the real issue, underage drinking?" Well, as for the first question, fraternities aren't saying anything because they have been so instructed by the university. As for the second attack, come on, really, irresponsibility can't be cured except by the individual. Finally, I will address the third attack. This question is by far the most difficult to handle, probably because it is at the heart of this debate. Regardless of what you are aware of, people are addressing the issue of underage drinking. Hopefully campus-wide attention has been focused on this problem, because it is a problem that is paramount on almost every campus nationwide. Much like "daterape awareness week" there is a need for "underage drinking awareness week." Why not— both of these problems have grown prevalent on campuses nationwide.

To better illuminate this idea that satirizing personal tragedy is overstepping ethical/human barriers that should be in place, especially at an institution for higher learning, I will draw out the similarities of drawing a cartoon like the one last Thursday and drawing a cartoon of date rape. Some might argue that date rape isn't analogous with an accident, because malicious intent is involved in rape. Date rape, howeer, is different than other types of rape. Many times the rapists don't realize that they are going too far, they are blinded, so to speak—much like the heavy dew on the windshield of the car in our accident. So there isn't a clear-cut intent to harm or violate, there is only ignorance or an inability to properly understand the signals and actions of the victim, and alcohol only makes this more difficult. The only real striking difference in these cases of personal tragedy is the fact that one of them would never be satirized in an editorial cartoon. That one is the date rape. Why? Because it would be considered in bad taste, or unsympathetic, or ethically questionable to depict a scantily clothed teenager lying on her dorm room bed, possibly drawn in the fetal position, . clutching her insides, and weeping. While next to her in the room, the young man sits smiling awkwardly, confusedly trying to open another beer.

Blood drive Edmond man found on floor of UCO restroom can benefit Aldridge A By Lisa Tatum Staff

By Penny Hubbard

tudents who want to help Stacy Aldridge, the Alpha Tau Omega student who was run over by a car on April 12 in Ardmore, can donate whole blood or plasma at the spring blood drive today. The blood drive is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the bookstore in the University Center. ' Free T-shirts will be given away with a blood donation: 1 According to Tara Hodges, field recruiter for the Oklahoma 'Blood Institute, Aldridge had not previously donated blood and -. was not a member of the donor :-.- ::benefit plan. . "If the person is not covered :- .--under a donor benefit plan and 'r a blood transfusion, a donor group may designate a credit for that individual," said Hodges. The UCO Bloodhounds will f.:donate credits to Aldridge from those students who specify. Students will need to fill out a credit-to-patient form at the i blood donation site. "He's (Aldridge) already using !blood products, which is good," , said Hodges. "We always have blood on the shelves, this blood i drive will help defer the cost." For each pint of whole blood, Aldridge will receive one credit. 1 For each pint of red blood cell ;and plasma donation he will receive two credits. 1 The credits go to cover the ,.blood processing fees associated Iwith blood transfusionsithat i ;Aldridge's insurance may not A cover. One credit is worth up to 20 percent reimbursement of one unit of whole blood or products derived from whole blood. Hodges said that the red blood cell and plasma blood donation is I the most effective because two I , patients are helped with one donation. <

n Edmond man was found lying in a state of confusion on the floor of a UCO bathroom

Monday. The man, identified as 39-year-old Randy Bridge, was found on the men's room floor on the first floor of the Human Environmental Services Building around noon, said UCO Department of Public Safety (DPS) officials. Tim Pelletier, a senior, said he went into the men's room and found the man passed out on the floor. Pelletier said the man was moaning and he could not tell what was wrong with him, but noted he did not look like a student and his shoes were so threadbare he could see through to his socks. DPS officers roused Bridge after about 10 minutes of coaxing and yelling. Bridge told officers he was confused and could only give them his first name. The officers went through Bridge's pockets and found a

checkbook with his full name on it. Officer Jeff Morefield said at the scene that Bridge had some medication with him but did not know if that contributed to his state of confusion. Bridge was taken to the Columbia Edmond Medical Center where a nurse told Morefield that Bridge had had a seizure. She said the hospital has dealt with him many times before. Hospital representatives said he was treated and released from the emergency room. Bridge told Morefield that he was on the UCO campus because he walks across it every day to go to the Edmond Muncipal Library. A manager at the apartment complex Bridge listed as his address said he has not lived there in three months. She said she was concerned for him because, to her knowledge, he did not have a job or a home. "I heard he was keeping his belongings behind a dumpster after he left here," said the manager. She said Bridge lived in the apartments

B.A. degree could take six years, research shows By Mark Schneberger Stiiff*Met

f you came to UCO to earn a traditional four-year degree, chances are that you won't get it in four years. It will likely take you much longer. Research just released from the American College Testing (ACT) program indicates that fewer students than ever before will obtain a bachelor of arts degree in four years. Rather, incoming freshmen will probably take an average of five to six years to earn their degrees, according to the ACT group. "The percentage who finish within five years has been decreasing virtually every year for he last 15 years," Kelly Hayden, media spokesman for the ACT, said in a media statement. "The future is that four years will not be the standard. There will probably be more programs with varying lengths." Hayden said the longer school

stays have likely come about because more students are enrolling part-time, and because a higher number than ever before are trying to hold down jobs while going to school. He said that means full- time students, who need an average of students, 15 credit hours or more per semester to graduate in four years, likely don't have the time to take them. Hayden also noted that unprepared freshmen—many of whom are coming fresh out of high school without the needed study skills—may also be contributing to the trend. "The percentage of students who go directly from high school to college is increasing every year, so you're getting more students who go right on to college, and some of them aren't (ready for the work)," he said. The ACT released its findings this month as part of a nationwide study of public and private colleges and universities which

offer bachelor of arts degrees. ACT findings show that nationally nearly 60 percent of students at public institutions such as UCO, will graduate after five years of beginning college. That's up significantly from 1983—the year the group first began keeping track of graduation rates. The news may look bleak for some UCO freshmen who hope to hurry through school, But the downward trend in four- and fiveyear graduation rates does not necessarily signal faults in university management, Hayden said. But it could indicate trouble if universities take the ACT statistics to heart and offer fewer classes because they feel students are willing to go to school longer. "You're already hearing stories of students who can't get the classes they need in a timely fashion and have to pick them up in the fifth or sixth years," Hayden said.

_ "It could become more prevalent." Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of Institutional Research and Planning at UCO, said the university's graduation rate is very similar to the national average of five or more years. But he felt UCO should do more to help students who want to graduate in four years. "If somebody wants to graduate from UCO in four years we should make sure that the courses are available so that they can do so," he said. Yet he warned that neither

students, nor administrators should feel disappointed if pupils do not finish school in less than five years. Rather, he felt pursuing a bachelor of arts degree should be considered one step in a life-long learning process and not be seen as a race. "Beyond that, if students can't do that (because of outside pressures) then they should be encouraged to keep going until they can finish," Cunliff said. "Most of them are doing the best they can in the time they have. I tip my hat to them." <

UCO students are not taking advantage of the services provided by Health Center, said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center. UCO students automatically become members of the Health Center. "The center is a perfect place for students who can't afford health insurance," Wallenmeyer said, Payment plans are also available for students who cannot afford to pay in one payment. The services of the center are great because the rates are cheaper than a doctor's office, said Carolyn Gonzalez, a sophomore. The Health Center has an exam room ready to assist students with minor injuries or sudden illnesses. Injuries that cannot be taken care of will be referred to the proper medical care. The facility also provides contraceptives such as: condoms, birth control pills, Depo Provera Shot (birth control shot taken every 3 months), oral contraceptives, and Pap/Pelvic Examinations. Wallenmeyer said she recommended that female students involved in sexual activity have a Pap/Pelvic Examination annually. All patient records are confidential and only Health Center personnel have access to them. A student must provide a written request for copies of their own records. <

Picnic, free concert, relaxation at UCO's 'Central Park' event, April 24 By Mark Schneberger Staffitilltv

PAGE

THEVISTA

f someone asks you to hang out in Central Park, New York City, after dark, you probably shouldn't do it, unless you like getting mugged. But students should hang out in UCO's "Central Park" this Friday evening April 24, if they like free concerts and a good time, said Student Services projects coordinator Joe Dibello. Dibello said the barren land on which the university's Industrial Arts Building once stood will be transformed into a bustling park-like atmosphere for one night. He's hoping all students will converge in the central-campus location and enjoy a night of free, safe, entertainment called "Central Park After Dark." "When Friday comes, people

need to relax after a week of classes. What a better way to do it than this," Dibello said. "We encourage people to bring blankets and dinner with them and enjoy the free concert. It should be a good time." The "Central Park After Dark" event begins at 8 p.m. and features the pop-stylings of Edmond's band Good Hope Road. The event will last until the band runs out of songs. All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.

Admission is free. They are also invited to bring along balls, gloves and any other items they want which will make the event more fun for them. Dibello said he began planning the event after witnessing how well a luncheon at Broncho Lake was received by students. Dibello said the event is also being held as a way to boost school spirit. That's why he encourages all who attend to wear UCO labeled clothing. <

TARVER Continued from front page said Tarver. "I am excited about getting a chance to play with the 49'ers, But I'm not over excited, because I know it is going to take a lot of work to make the final team," he said. "I have been talking to Joe (Aska), and he told me what I have ahead of me," said Tarver. Aska, a former Broncho, is playing for the Los Angeles Raiders as a running back. "What Joe told me will keep me from getting a big head," said Tarver. "The Central Oklahoma program has produced many players that have made it into the NFL," said Central Oklahoma Football Coach Gary Howard. "With Tarver's ability in the corner he could have a good chance in the NFL." Last season, Tarver had 57 tackles, and he broke up nine passes with two interceptions to

earn him All-Lone Star Conference North Division honors and help lead Central Oklahoma to a record of 9-2. Tarver is a graduate of Western Hills High School in Fort Worth, Texas, and has been playing football since the age of eight, he said. "I really don't have any role models, but I did learn a lot about playing the corner from Eltin Rhodes," said Tarver. "I am sure he will do well, as he did here, in covering the man in the corner," said Howard. "I thank God for the chance he has given me to play in the NFL," said Tarver. "They were up front with me with what I need to do to make the team, and I know it is going to be a lot of work, but it is worth the shot. I've been working out to stay in shape, and all I want is the chance to show that I have the ability to play in the NFL."

Is this an effort to win converts to a pagan religion? If so, and I think it is on some level, why is it allowed in our public schools? Now don't get me wrong. I'm all for wildlife conservation and nature preservation. But, like many causes picked up by the left, this one is often taken to extremes. One example of this is the immigrant farmer in California whose tractor is named in a lawsuit by the U.S. government because he ran over what may or may not be an endangered species of rat. Such a strange case is rare

I've met his teacher, I like her and I know she genuinely cares for her students. But, shouldn't she pay a little more attention to her spelling? I mean, she is in a profession where people expect her to not only get the details right, but to be able to teach children how to get them right. My son is learning to read and write.

Dancing, dining, disappearing acts UCO's Fashion Troupe models sponsored by international student group clothes, styles of yesteryear By Penny Hubbard Stall' tiler

uropean dance music, American cuisine and magicians are the makings of the First Annual Graduation Dinner and Dance sponsored by the International Student Council. The festivities begin at 6 p.m. May 3 in Ballrooms A, B, and C in the University Center. "The activity is for everyone, but we wanted to recognize outstanding international students and give them a farewell before they go home," said Jason Harris, president of the International Student Council and coordinator of the event. A buffet-style dinner will be served with foods that will accommodate any religious restrictions, such as Muslims who do not eat pork, or Hindus who do not eat beef, said Harris. Members of the Professional Magicians of Oklahoma will perform at the individual tables during dinner.

Magicians include Ken Stoner , Todd Niec, who will perform close-up magic, Curtis Miles, who does manipulation and Jason Harris, who will perform illusions and close-up magic. Following the meal, a stage magician will perform and the outstanding students from each country with the highest overall GPA will be recognized. Students from Asia and India will also perform native dances. "UCO has approximately 225 graduating international students," said Harris. "Other students are honored when they graduate, so we thought this would be a good way to honor them." Following the dinner and entertainment, students can dance to music from different countries. "We are going to have fog machines and strobe lights, so it will be like a disco," said Harris. Students are encouraged to bring their favorite CDs from their native countries. The dinner is free to

"There will also be a silent auction of fashion dolls with costumes designed from members of Fashion Oklahoma," said Stufflebean, who is the coordinator of Fashion Oklahoma. Fashion Troupe members are students majoring in fashion marketing, said Stufflebean. Because there is an artistic element of design mixed with the business of marketing, "we will accept students majoring in art and/or business too," she said. A reception follows the show for those interested in meeting the designers, said Lacy. Tickets for the show are $15 at the door and can be reserved in advance by contacting Dr. Tana Stufflebean, 341-2980, Ext. 5807; Betty Warren, 9461132; or Lou Ann Lacy, 8488525.
