UCO's administration also asked for approval to lease an 800ton chiller and a cooling tower to supplement the Central Plant's output through the summer. Expected rental cost exceeds $100,000 for each unit for the four to five months they will be used. The Regents approved $2,124 for upgrades to the hot water tank,

The studies also revealed that those in Oklahoma with associate's degrees earn $19,187 per year, while students with bachelor's degrees earn $21,048 and graduates holding master's degrees earn $28,296. "The state that has highly educated its work force typically attracts the most students for the highest paying jobs," Allen said. "If Oklahoma is to compete [with other states], we must continue to identify potential growth areas and educate the citizens in those areas. By doing so ... we ensure graduates will live and work in Oklahoma for years to come," he said. Of the UCO students who have applied to graduate, 1,099 will receive bachelor's degrees, while 300 will earn master's degrees, Roybal said.
Statewide, the most popular fields for those earning bachelor's degrees are business, psychology and education. The largest number of students receiving master's degrees focused on business, counseling and education. President Roger Webb will speak at UCO's commencement ceremonies.

They, more than anyone, want this university to be the best it can be. Their hard work goes unnoticed, and the praises due to them are often passed off to others.

he UCO Foundation honored 23 students at a luncheon held April 17 in the University Center's Ballroom. Members of the community donated money to the foundation to use as scholarships. The Kirkpatrick Scholarship and the Rothbaum Scholarship were given out to students. These awards are a part of the Presidential Partners Program. Those members of the community giving $1,000 or more become presidential partners. "We raise money to give back to the university, mostly in the form of scholarships," said Dr. Nancy Hughes-Mills, director of the UCO Foundation. The Kirkpatrick Scholarship awards student leadership and public service. Eleven were awarded $500 each, and one was given an additional $1,000 for outstanding direction. Each college on the campus nominated four students for the Rothbaum Scholarship, which awards on the basis of academic achievement. Fifteen individuals were given $500, and one was awarded $1,000 for scholarly excellence. Students applied for the scholarships, and a panel of judges selected the recipients. The UCO Foundation has been awarding these annual scholarships for six years. The Gold Medal Award for the Kirkpatrick Scholarship was given to Emily Dake, and the Gold Medal Award for the Rothbaum Scholarship was given to Allison Franklin. Those receiving $500 Kirkpatrick scholarships were Emily Dake, Benjamin Lowry, Devon Noonan, Sean Cornwell, Christopher Gulley, Laura Free, Todd Gleaves, Franklin, Chad Dimmick, Robin Hoffman and David Lynch.

`Pyramid scams' on the rise BY MICHAEL LARSON
W
Student Writer
e have seen such ads circling telephone poles at intersections and plastering bulletin boards in the University Center. They promise easy cash and sedentary employment to Americans too busy or lazy to find real jobs. Behind all the promises of cash and experience — behind the illusion of a disposable career — is the sobering truth of the matter: these campaigns are scams. The illegal practice of scamming people out of money by making them think that they are going to make money is called the pyramid scam. According to Fraud.org , work-at-home scams were the second most prolific form of scam in 1996. These ads usually contain phone numbers that lead the caller to answering machines with cryptic messages. The messages will mention buzz words like "e-commerce" or "user-friendly application." The machine will attempt to bully the caller into submitting a number and an address in order to obtain "more information." Many of these ads are designed to acquire addresses and phone numbers for junk mail and telemarketing purposes, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Others have a product to sell you, usually a license or software, that will enable you to "make easy money from home." In many cases the victim will never be able to break even on the initial purchase. Another form of pyramid scams is investment scams. In these scams, the con-artist will pose as a broker, contact a r

victim, and tell them that he or she has a hot tip on a change in stock. The con then tells the victim to contact a number of friends and relatives who might also be interested. Every person in the pyramid sends the con an amount of money. The con then pretends the stock has crashed and makes off with the money. While most people in a college environment are experienced enough to see through scams like this these, the small percentage who do fall for it still generate enough income to make it worth the con artist's while. Some of these scams' principal targets are foreign exchange students, teenagers and the elderly. "Unfortunately, pyramid schemes are likely to continue to

proliferate both here and abroad in the near future," said Debra Valentine, general counsel for the FTC. Until then, it will be up to the consumer to make educated decisions and separate fact from fiction. The FTC offers these words of advice on avoiding the perils of the pyramid scam: • Avoid any plan that offers commissions to recruit new distributors. • Beware of plans that ask you to spend money on costly inventory. • Be cautious of claims that you will make money by recruiting new members instead of on sales you make yourself. • Beware of promises about high profits or claims about "miracle" products. • Be cautious about ▪ references; they could be "shills" by the promoter. • Don't pay money or sign contracts in a highpressure situation. • Check out all offers with your local Better Business Bureau and state Attorney General. To file a complaint, call 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357). •
nother academic year gone by — it just doesn't seem possible. Since this is the last such column of the year, and this is my last issue to serve as editor, I wanted to finally have My Turn. One thing I've learned from serving as editor: Space is truly at a premium. So I'd like to use what little I have on this page to tell you about the most important thing in my life. I am in a relationship that is like no other relationship. The one I love loves me more than I can comprehend. He knows everything about me — even my flaws. He loves me just as I am: I don't have to wear makeup and I don't have to act differently to impress him. He is always reaching for my hand, even when I would rather hold onto something or someone else. He knew my name long before I met him. Each morning I spend with him leads to a day full of joy. When things go wrong and I feel like I can't take anymore, he picks me up and he listens to me. He protects me. No one and nothing can separate us. I am never alone; he is always with me. He is perfect, in all senses of the word. He wants to be with me forever, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he won't change his mind. He has never let me down before and has never broken a promise to me. I am not complete without him. When I ignore him, I feel so empty; nothing brings me peace or satisfaction. He gives me so many gifts everyday: flowers, new friends, and beautiful sunsets at night followed by shooting stars, to name a few. If everything I have is taken away and all I am left with is him, I will have all I need. That is the beauty of my relationship with Jesus Christ. Someday — and it could be tomorrow for all I know — everything I have WILL be taken away. No one has escaped death. Except for Jesus Christ, who agreed to take upon himself every

sin everyone in this entire world ever committed — past, present and future — and sacrifice himself so that all humanity could be forgiven. Because of what he did, anyone who believes and allows Jesus into his heart will be a new creation. There is nothing to lose and more to gain than we can imagine. I am not ashamed of what I believe and I am confident of its truth. My present life is nothing more than a vapor that fades away quickly. The things of this world are so temporary and time is so short. Eternity, however, is another story. My Savior wants to spend it with me and he wants to spend it with you. He loves you and wants to be close to you. If you want to get to know him, read the book he wrote for you: the Word of God. If you seek him, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13). Maybe you have tried religion —
you've been to church and were disappointed. Have you ever tried a relationship with the Lord? My favorite chapter in the Bible, Psalm 139, describes in words more eloquent than my own how much my relationship with the Lord means to me, but the deep feeling it brings me is something you will have to experience to understand. I pray with all my heart that you will experience this relationship. Here are some verses from the Bible to start with: Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, John 3:3, John 14:6, Romans 10: 9-11, 2 Corinthians 5:15, and Revelation 3:20. I would love to share more with you or be encouraged by what the Lord has done in your life, so feel free to e-mail me at alfrunner2@aol.com . If you know the Lord, when is the last time you told someone about it? What are you waiting for? A final note ... Working at The Vista for the last
year has been a life-changing experience. My first few weeks on the job, I had to keep reminding myself that what doesn't kill me makes me stronger, but throughout the course of the year there were a few moments I remember thinking that my job couldn't be much better. Thank you, readers, for the letters you've written this year and for all your comments, good and bad. Thank you, Vista staff,
for working as a team. I have been proud to represent you. I am confident that The Vista will be in good hands this summer and next fall. I love you all! •

SPORTS Broncho season full ups, downs BY KIRK MCCORKLE
U
Sports Editor
ps and downs are the rule, not the exception, in the topsyturvy emotional world we call collegiate athletics. The Broncho faithful — fans and athletes alike — have definitely seen their fair share of both during this tumultuous spring season. The semester began on a sour note, with the administration announcing the termination of the track program. Head Coach Paul Parent and the track team, however, plowed ahead and managed to put together a successful indoor season, and the team has claimed numerous gold medals so far in the outdoor campaign. The men's basketball team brought a little something to the party by playing an explosive, fast-paced brand of hoops. They finished 16-11 on the season, and featured senior star
Marlon Dawson, who led Division II in scoring and was one of just 16 players named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches/Chevrolet NCAA Division II All-America Team. Although the women's basketball team ended a string of four straight .500-plus seasons by finishing 9-17, they lost six games by six points or less, and will return nine of 12 players on this year's roster. The Broncho grapplers, true to form, enjoyed an outstanding season. After ending the dual season at 13-21, they dominated their region by claiming six individual championships and sending nine wrestlers to the finals in Greeley, Colo. Redshirt freshman sensation Cole Province defied the odds and swept the field at 133, capturing the national title with a 7-4 upset of topseeded Brian Luna from Southern Colorado.
UCO ended the year with four All-Americans and as a team tied for third to claim their 18th straight topfour national finish. The Broncho softball team has been up and down this year, but are on the plus side so far with a record of 22-20 and still a few games to go. Both the men's and women's tennis teams are having decent seasons, and Head Coach Francis Baxter has been named captain of the 2001 United States Von Cramm Cup Team. Broncho baseball, led by slugging standout Ray Danzy, is having a stellar year and has already clinched the LSC North with a record of 18-1, and will host the LSC Tournament PHOTO SERVICES on April 26,27 and 28.

CO baseball, coming off a three-game sweep of Southwestern Oklahoma State, has dropped a place in the NCAA Division II rankings, falling from No. 12 to 13. Despite the fall in rank, the Broncho's spirits are high as they

The LSC tournament opens on Thursday with ACU taking on North Division runner-up and No. 21-ranked Southeastern Oklahoma at 11 p.m. "We've had a good season and we're proud to be North Division
champions, but now we've got to get ready for the conference tournament. There's four good teams in it and it should be a great tournament," said Coach Wendell Simmons. The Bronchos, finishing the season at 37-10 and 21-3 for the LSC, are ready and raring for a 2 p.m. show down against West Texas A&M Kingsville on Thursday. •

Cheerleaders dance into 3rd place at nationals BY JAYNA ORNELIS
U
Staff Writer
CO cheerleaders landed a 3rd place trophy April 6 in Daytona Beach, Fla., after performing a dance routine on the beach in Division II of the Cheerleading Nationals Competition. They performed a routine of aerial stunts, cheer and tumbling to a mix of hard-rock music. One-hundred fifty teams competed and were separated into categories based on their school's football team division. There were 21 teams competing in Division II. UCO won the preliminaries April 5. "It was really disappointing going into finals in first place and coming out third," said Cara Crouse, squad captain. Dartmouth cheerleaders won
first and Kennesaw State took second. "We're really proud of it though; we worked really hard," Crouse said. "Third in the nation is something to be proud of." The 20 squad members spent four months preparing and practiced four days a week. Each girl was responsible for $600 to pay for the trip to Florida. In order to raise money, squad members sought sponsors and sold candles, said Emily Bullard, cocaptain of the cheerleading squad. Ads were also sold and placed on the back of nationals T-shirts, said Bullard. Crouse said she hopes the win will draw more attention to UCO cheerleading. "We've started a new tradition," said Crouse. "UCO hasn't been that big in the past. It's definitely a sport that should be recognized."

I do know, however, that it's never made more sense to me than it does after listening to the voices of the UCO student body and watching our administration continually work to accommodate the majority. Want to know what I mean? Just take a look at the news from The Vista's front pages from the past year. Since our first issue of the year hit the stands last
September, we've heard students speak their minds about everything from parking and grade scandals to the cancellation of library study spaces. Now, the guy behind the grade scandals is being punished, new study spaces are being added, and parking spaces are, well, still in short supply. Other issues evoked an even louder student reaction. Remember when UCO's own Dana Scribner made The Vista's cover just weeks before she was going to the doctor for the surgery that would save her life? UCO students came to Scribner's rescue by holding flag football tournaments and auctions to raise money for her operation. Today Scribner will literally breathe a little easier because of the efforts of her friends. What a small thing to do. What an enormous impact. The members of the track and cross country programs may also soon have student support to thank for their own salvation. Because of public outcry, President Roger Webb has now said that he will allow them to run next season if they can raise funds to repair the track. That's a step up from the

Scholarships given in honor of student killed in wreck BY NATALIE SMITH

Staff Writer
ronie Brennan was a girl from California who chose to attend UCO because she had family in Oklahoma. She came here knowing no one her own age. According to her uncle, Jerry Parry, Brennan felt lonely and isolated here. She sought comfort at
the Baptist Student Union (BSU). What she found there was the spiritual fulfillment and the friendships she needed. On January 29, 1993, Brennan was killed in a car accident. In her honor, the BSU has administered a scholarship to help students who are working their way through college as Brennan was doing. "Fronie Brennan was a student

It is for people who are on their own, determined to make it," Charles Lillard, BSU director, said. This year, there were three applicants for the Fronie Brennan Scholarship.

in Bricktown — finding it is the problem. When we did find one, we realized that it was a good mileand-a-half hike to the actual places we wanted to be, a small price to pay. After this nightmare was over we all needed a drink. Our first stop was Chelino's Mexican Restaurant. I'm always in the mood for a good Sangria Swirl and some guacamole. Who isn't? To my pleasure, the swirls were just strong enough to make me feel like salsa dancing and the guacamole was homemade (seemingly homemade anyway, which is good enough for me). The atmosphere at the Bricktown Chelino's is genuine. It is bright and loud, with musicians traveling around, playing cheesy songs just for you.

editor Molly Mathis, negotiated with park management and made it past the entrance — Xanadu! First stop: The Silver Bullet (though it was not silver). Other than being a tacky blue and red, this coaster is two things a ride should be: fast and furious. Next stop: Wildcat! A creation of both wood and steel, it is more traditional with fewer twists and turns, no loop-de-loops and more ups-and-downs. Coaster riding caused a big appetite, so the brave adventurers moseyed off in search of food. A variety of foods were eaten, from pizza to chicken fingers. One discovery causing raging indigestion was the price of food. Eat before coming to the park, and save money for candy. The candy shop had messy, sticky, yummy caramel apples. After the snack, Molly ventured off on her own to investigate kiddy-land. She climbed to the top of the play structure and loaded the air cannon. After carefully choosing her pint-sized prey, she locked and loaded the cannon. "Phoomph, phoomph, phoomph," followed by a string of high-pitched, delighted squeals, rang out across the park. While Molly was wreaking havoc on her tiny targets, Chris and Tyler had found the Diamond Back. After making their way up the stairs to the monster looming in front of them, the fearless duo settled down in the big, blue beast. Tyler suddenly lost his confidence. The train flew forward around the loop. Riders were then hurled backwards, leaving their stomachs on the other side. Thankfully Molly was not there, and the boys were free to curse at will. They were spotted by Molly staggering down the stairs. In unison, they turned towards the sound of ambivalent screams coming from the 100-foot-tall newly opened Hangman. Still in shock from his harrowing experience with the Diamond Back, Tyler opted to sit out. After a 20-minute wait, they were buckled into seats 11 and 12 to await their fate. The ride took off like an acorn in a slingshot. After coming to a stop and

collecting their stomachs, the two waddled off the ride. After a thrilling day at the park, it was time to go home. The daring trio made their way to the parking lot and headed home. Frontier City features 33 rides. Games, additional paid attractions, shops, shows, and restaurants are also available. Concerts will be performed throughout the summer by several bands including Audio Adrenaline and Kansas. Special events including the Fantasy of Fireworks will also be held.
Vista adventurers suggest bringing lots of cash because the wild frontier is fun, but not cheap. General admission to Frontier City is $24.99; junior admission is $16.99 for children under 48 inches and free for children under 2. Parking is $6 per car. Personal checks and credit cards are accepted. For more information, call 4782412, ext. 214.

isten up, sports fans. If you think your entertainment prospects look dim this summer, two Oklahoma City sports teams will make you think again. The Oklahoma City Wranglers won their second regular season arena football game April 21 to the Chicago Rush, 45-44. As a non-football fan, I was surprisingly caught up in the fast-paced excitement of arena football. Don't get me wrong. I don't dislike football — it's just not really my thing. However, arena football may have changed my mind. The pre-game show pumped up the crowd with fireworks and an energetic performance by the Wrangler Girls. What caught my attention was the non-stop play. Since the ball is considered "live"

when it hits the wall in arena football, there are fewer breaks in play. In addition, the field is around one-fourth the size of a regulation football field, making higher scoring possible.
In the traditional style of sports events at the Myriad, half-time brought an inane attempt at humor to the field with fan involvement. Two spectators took to the field with
headgear and massive boxing gloves. At that point they boxed — sort of. Next time I'll remember to hit the wide variety of food booths as soon as that buzzer goes off. The souvenir stand is rather pricey, but if you're lucky, a stray ball may fly your way. The officials will let you keep it if that 8-year-old next to you doesn't snag it out of your hands first. But please don't be that person who takes the ball from a kid. You may just find yourself face-to-face with his father after the game. The Oklahoma Redhawks nailed the Omaha Golden Spikes 3-2 April 22, despite a temporary loss of power to most of Bricktown. The new Bricktown stadium offers a fun way to spend a weekend afternoon. A variety of food and drink vendors can make the outing pleasant, albeit expensive, for everyone. One can buy only so many overpriced sodas before they run out of cash. But don't worry, there's an ATM on site. Ruben Sierra, a former Texas Ranger, drove a home run to left field in the first inning, clearing the way to
a win for the Redhawks. Baseball is not only an American tradition; it's a little more cerebral than football. Sorry folks, but when you bang your head a lot it makes it rather difficult to plan intricate strategy. That's why the offensive line protects the quarterback. At any rate, a Redhawks game is an excellent way to spend time with your friends, co-workers, enemies and strangers. If you hate the game, you can go to Coach's restaurant inside the stadium and drink your cares away. By the way, I still hate draught beer in waxed paper cups. The Oklahoma Wranglers' regular season ends with a home game against Los Angeles July 22. Tickets are available at the Myriad Box Office, and you can check the game schedule online at www.okwranglers.com . The Oklahoma Redhawks' schedule is also available online at www.redhawksbaseball.com , where you can see virtual views of the field from each seating section.

Artist to teach new Native American art course next semester BY SARAH ROBERSON
U
Staff Writer
CO's College of Arts, Media and Design is offering an Indian art course entitled Native American Art, designed to enhance a student's knowledge and appreciation of American Indian heritage.
The course is being offered on Wednesday night for the Fall 2001 semester at the First National Building downtown. "The class covers art history before European contact through the present," said Judith HoustonEmerson, the adjunct professor and artist teaching the course. Houston-Emerson feels that her
cultural background will help to expose students to the meaning behind the art itself. "I am from Talequah and I am part Cherokee," said HoustonEmerson. "I have also worked in the National Museum of the American Indian, which is part of the Smithsonian." The course was established by
Houston-Emerson, who felt that it was important to share with others about the diversity of the culture. "I've had students with Indian blood," said Houston-Emerson. "The students without Indian blood had no idea the vastness, meaning and the stories behind the art." Any student enrolled at UCO
can take the course. "The class counts for an art and humanities credit," said HoustonEmerson, speaking of the three hour class. "This class is important and anyone who has grown up in Oklahoma should be exposed to the heritage." For more information, call Houston-Emerson at 974-5213. •

hitter. I had to take a dance break. The dance floor is small, which is useful for those who need a little human contact (as long as you don't mind drunk people sweating on you a bit). A word of warning: watch out for the steps. They will catch you off guard if you don't pay attention — take my word for it.
The music is outstanding. Play Michael Jackson and you've hooked me for life, or until you stop playing it. Anyone who misses their 80s music should give 54 a shot (and take a couple while you're there). My favorite thing about Studio 54 is the staff. They are an incredible group of people. The
staff is loud and obnoxious (in the best sense of the word). They dance on the bar, make a hell of a drink, are all good looking, and they have a great time. This is the stuff a good club is made of. Now, here's the stuff a not-sogood club is made of: I hate to speak badly of any establishment

that someone has put their heart and soul into, but to no avail ... Main Street. Never again will I return to this dark, dingy, infested club. The music is the best thing in the place. Some might say that the music is the only important thing, but I'd have to disagree. Something in the air at Main Street disturbed me to a great extent. Maybe it was the hordes of wild-eyed boys who spent too much time on their hair, wearing their shiny club clothes. Or it could have been the long bimbo line to the ladies restroom. I would have rather been in a cha-cha line on its way to hell. There's nothing like a bunch of sweaty, booze-obliterated girls (some who were vomiting), to make a girl feel like a queen. So, we left Main Street, to my great enjoyment, and headed around the corner to The Pub. The Pub, I'd say, is for some people, and they go there all the time. The people there seem to all know each other, which is probably good for legitimate business, as well as the undercover business that seems to go on. There is a karaoke bar upstairs at The Pub, which I found very amusing. Seeing some drunken fiat boys on stage singing old Bon Jovi songs or trying to rap like Eminem is definitely a good time. The music is fun at The Pub. It's mostly hip-hop, which seems to make everyone think they are wonderful dancers. This is a good thing, because anyone can dance and not look like an idiot, since the person next to them looks like a bigger one. The staff is fun — not comparable to 54's staff — but still
adequate. I will visit The Pub again, on occasion. I found it extremely entertaining as well as spirited. Upon leaving, we decided that our night was full enough of dance clubs and wanna-be rock star looking girls. So, we went to Bricktown Tapwerks. This establishment was definitely my speed. Downstairs, it is quiet enough to talk (which I do a great deal of), and the booths are big enough for a whole group of yuppies. I say yuppies because the people in Tapwerks all remind me of the movie St. Elmo's Fire. The boys all have on button-down Oxfordcloths with khakis worn in a disheveled, but fashionable manner. The girls are Ann Taylor all the way ... you know, sleek pony tails, flowery skirts, and $200 sandals. Upstairs at Tapwerks there are pool tables, another bar, and a teeny-tiny dance floor. The music is loud and it has a club-like atmosphere, without the club scene, which I find very appealing. I recommend the Hornsby Draft Cider as my drink of choice at Tapwerks. All-in-all, I'd say my adventure in Bricktown was festive. I will do it again, probably soon. There are a few other places I'd like to visit: Banana Joe's for instance. It's the newest place in Bricktown. They claim to have a "beach party" atmosphere. Since there are no beaches around here, chances are they will draw a crowd. All-in-all Oklahoma City has a lot to offer. But don't take my word for it — just head on down to Bricktown and make the decision for yourself. •

REVIEW Local hot spots, fine dining ... on a student budget BY NATALIE SMITH
Staff Writer
here are many different eating establishments in Oklahoma City. From good old American food to sushi, there is a restaurant for everyone's taste. If Italian food tickles your fancy, try Bellini's Restorante and Grill. Located at 6305 N. Waterford Dr. in Oklahoma City, Bellini's is known for its
I
Northern Italian cuisine. The price ranges up to $15. There are fresh pasta dishes and madeto-order pizzas, a long list of very appealing appetizers, as well as a wonderful wine list. Dress is casual at Bellini's and the atmosphere is fantastic. Romance can almost be seen on the patio, where most couples choose to dine. For Mexican food that is far from typical, head to the Iguana Lounge. Bright and festive, the establishment won the Gazette's "Best of Oklahoma City in 1999" for "Best Margarita." The atmosphere would make the
place worthwhile even if the food wasn't as amazing as it is. Recommended dishes include roasted chicken tostada, fajita salad, and the guacamole, which is to die for. Prices go up to $15. Even the nachos are special at Iguana Lounge, located at 6417 N. Western in Nichols Hills. Around the corner at 928 NW 63rd St., Pearl's Oyster Bar is the place to go for seafood in Oklahoma City. Slightly Cajun, the place is great from the ambience to the cuisine. The appetizer of choice

Delaware students combat credit card solicitations BY JOSEPH N. DISTEFANO Wire Reporter
p
HILADELPHIA — If creditcard banks have friends anywhere, they're in Delaware, home to four of the five biggest credit-card banks. But even there, the industry has been taking heat for its efforts to sell cards to students. Activists at the University of Delaware and legislators upset by credit-card offers to their own teenagers are pushing to restrict card -- solicitors at public universities.
Some students "are thousands of dollars in debt," said Rachel White, a senior anthropology major who heads a petition drive to push credit-card solicitors off campus. "They're spending it on everything — food, clothing, entertainment and vacations. [Students] are encouraged by the free gifts, which I call bribes, and the "buy now, pay later' idea." But credit cards are necessary among students, argues David Bakerian, who runs the Delaware Bankers Association. "Some kids use their cards to pay tuition and buy books. These cards help people

encouragement, McBride lacks cosponsors, and his bills remain in committee. "The industry has been very intimidating. Banks with their marketing deals have created this national network of alumni supporters as a way to suppress any real public policy" changes, said Robert D. Manning, a senior fellow at the University of Houston Law Center and author of Credit Card Nation. Bank supporters say the real reason the bills have failed is that critics haven't proven more than anecdotal evidence of a student credit-card crisis. Still, pressed by worried parents, Republican state legislators are
pushing bills mandating borrowereducation plans without banning solicitors or disrupting marketing deals. MBNA officials are comfortable with a student credit-education bill by Pennsylvania state Sen. Jane Earll because it would not alter the bank's current practices, an Earll aide said. New Jersey state Sen. Peter Inverso has written a similar bill in his state, also with backing of financial institutions. "A credit card (is) an invaluable tool," said Inverso's chief of staff, Steve Cook. "If you don't start allowing access to the use of these tools, how will young people learn to use these tools appropriately?" •

establish credit." Efforts to ban card solicitors from campuses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other states have fallen short in recent years — in part because they lack the support of state universities and alumni groups, which have collected millions from sales partnerships with credit-card banks. But Wilmington-based MBNA Corp. is the leader in arranging formal endorsement deals, which give it the right to solicit graduates and students at 600 U.S. colleges and universities — in exchange for a cut of the bank's profits. But Delaware State Sen. David McBride, a member of that chamber's Democratic majority, laid out what he considers a dangerous side of the business at a March 21 committee hearing on his bill. "This issue of giving [a credit card] to a young adult just out of high school who has no job, no visible means of payment, stinks. I don't see how a moral adult can be a party to it," McBride testified. Bakerian, of the bankers association, said banks were targeted unfairly. Not long ago, he said, "we were criticized roundly because we would only give credit if (a borrower) didn't need it. Now we're getting the reaction that it's too much." Despite colleagues' public

Dorms give college chiefs room with a view BY MEG MCSHERRY BRESLIN
C
Wire Reporter
HICAGO — It's a typical night at the University of Notre Dame, and Sorin Hall, an all-male dorm, is a rowdy place. Just down the hall from this raucous crowd, a lanky, white-haired man slips from his room and makes his way to 10 p.m. Mass. Just one of the guys in Sorin Hall, the Rev. Edward "Monk" Malloy is also the president of the South Bend, Ind., university. For more than a decade now, Malloy has chosen to live not in a swanky president's abode but in an enlarged room in the university's oldest residence hall. In a few months, Loyola University Chicago's incoming president, the Rev. Michael Garanzini, hopes to join Malloy in
the decidedly small but growing club of college administrators who dwell in the same dorms as their students. When he arrives in June, Garanzini wants to live modestly among Loyola's students as he has done for several years at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and he is working with university administrators to find a feasible location. Like Malloy, Garanzini finds dorm living the perfect way to build relationships with the students. "In there, you meet them in a context that's relaxed and informal and immediately you begin to talk about things that wouldn't normally come up in your office," he said. Though it is more common at religious schools, university chiefs in dorms are somewhat of a throwback to a different era, when there were far fewer political and administrative
demands on a college leader's time. Still, a number of top administrators have spent a night or two in a dorm in recent years to get a sense of student concerns, said Stanley Ikenberry, president of the American Council on Education. While many of his presidential colleagues still shake their heads in amazement, Malloy is at ease in his various roles as hallmate, teacher and campus leader at Notre Dame. "I think you have to teach to be a good president," he said. "And in our setting, which is heavily residential, it's just part of our heritage and tradition." On Notre Dame's campus, residence halls are the focal point of student social life. Unlike most college campuses, half the seniors at Notre Dame still live in dorms. Malloy's room — which sits inside a turret — certainly has a different

At the invitation of sophomore Trip Foley to one party, Jenkins arrived with a smirk on his face just before his 10 p.m. Mass in the chapel downstairs.

e were standing outside of the Aquaticus exhibit at the zoo when the truth came crashing down upon Saundra and I. "You know, Ross," she said, "he's going to try to look for material to use in his act." We'd arrived at the zoo (where elephants are friendly, but they're dumb) with Jarrett Jobe, Student Programming Board's advisor, and Darren Carter, comedic force of nature, after picking Darren up from the airport. Reserved and polite (a polar opposite to his stage persona), Darren had arrived that Thursday morning and had an afternoon to kill. Rather than

spend the afternoon pent up in his hotel room, he expressed interest in seeing landmarks around the metro area. He asked about the bombing, which everyone who visits OKC asks about, but turned down our offer to go to the memorial. We now realized why. Saundra was right, of course. While he did seem to be looking to localize his routine, I guess I couldn't blame him. I do the same thing myself. Which is why it's only fair that I use this opportunity to thank everyone who has been kind enough to facilitate this column by making an impact on me this year. If it seems overly sappy or melodramatic, that's probably because it is. Bear with me, will you? B.J. WEXLER, thanks for the letter of encouragement. You are the man. Thank you to RICK MORANIS, for giving us all hope. To AVIATOR SUNGLASSES:
thanks for keeping the sun out of the eyes of at least two generations of Rosses. (Dad, I've got your pair if you want 'em.) CLAYTON MOORE deserves utmost thanks. May the range he rides be as green and pastoral as ever. PAUL SIMON deserves massive rounds of applause for everything, even for The Capeman. Thank you to CALEB, SAUNDRA, and ZACH for going off on numerous misadventures with me. CAPTAIN AWESOME and THE CABLE AUCTION, but maybe not in that order. It's kind of hard to rank those two. TONY SCALZO, MILES ZUNIGA, and JOEY SHUFFIELD each earn a hearty "thanks!" for hanging out with Zach and I. MY SEA-MONKEYS get props for not dying (yet). The LONDON CREW deserves my appreciation for knowing what you know, as well as for reminding me to mind the
No, it's not a new Odd Couple series ... but still, isn't this an awesome picture? That's me giving you the thumbs-up, by the way. The other guy is President Roger "Rodge" Webb. This is the kind of stuff that makes my parents proud.

gap. THE GOAT and PONY both deserve a pat on the head and a carrot for entertaining the Ross boys as much as they have. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THANKS TO YOU, EVEN IF
YOU HATED IT. Okay, maybe less thanks to the people who hated it. Still, thanks anyways. At least you didn't fall asleep. Have a good summer. Chemistry class was a blast. See everyone in the fall. •
