OPINION & ED TOR AL How

DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIRING ALL PUBLIC COMPUTERS TO HAVE A PORN FILTER ON THEM ?

"I think that's good because it keeps people from pulling up porn sites that others might see."

how to use technology.

These filters are meant to protect the fragile and hysterical mothers of school-age children from the knowledge that their children have seen a breast.

Lets face it; we all somehow managed to see a picture of a breast at some point in our childhood. It is just not that damaging.

Secondly, these programs do not work.

A Vista stuffer's 7-year-old child found porn on a filtered computer without trying.

These filters do, however, restrict sites that contain no porn at all, such as botany sites containing the word "pussywillow."

World War II historical sites can be blocked

by these programs for containing Nazi information. Even some religious sites are blocked.

Finally, the non-working programs that we are going to be forced to use are also costly. The law that requires us to buy them does not provide any funding to do so.

This law restricts the rights of public computer users, costs too much and does not stop children from looking at porn.

It is just wrong.

Dorm residents get edge on summer space

BY SARAH ROBERSON

Staff Writer

n-campus residents who plan to live at UCO for fall 2001 have first priority in future housing assignments.

This new priority renewal process is designed to place current residents in their preferred housing assignment before new student applications are reviewed.

"They can reserve their preferred housing assignment during the spring and have that tentative assignment in hand before they leave for summer," said Todd Duncan, past director of Residence Life.

Each student who applies for priority placement will be required

to pay a $100 deposit fee to be submitted with their application, which is due no later than April 4 to the Housing Office on the 3rd floor of the University Center.

"The submission of a contract does not require a full month's payment [as in years past], therefore it is more economically feasible," Duncan said.

The deposit will be a one-time fee applied to a student until they move out of the UCO housing system.

"At the end of the contract, given there are no damages and the student checks out properly, it [the deposit] is subject to refund," Duncan said.

Current residents wishing to continue living at UCO in their

same residence will be first priority, followed by current UCO residents who wish to return to the same building with a different room or unit. Returning students who desire a different UCO building will be third, with current students who desire oncampus housing and new students planning to live at UCO finishing the list.

"After April 4, Residence Life PHOTO BY MOLLY MATHIS will make [a student's] tentative assignments for the fall semester," Freshman Alicia Sanders studies in her West Hall dorm room.

Duncan said.

Sanders will be moving out of the dorms this summer.

Letters will be sent to students at the end of April though the beginning of May stating their fall placement.

Independent seniors here at UCO are usually awarded $8,500. This is the highest loan amount available to students, according to a representative in the Financial Aid office.

When students at UCO apply for student loans, they are required to be counseled on their interest rates and repayment. The counseling is on computers rather than with a financial aid advisor.

Jamie Bass, junior public relations major, said, "If student loans were not available, a lot of us wouldn't be here. They are a major factor in a lot of people's higher education. It is absolutely necessary that they are available and the amounts are equal to the cost of school." •

n the history that I was taught, there have been many values driving society.

In the beginning, it was survival; 5,000+ years ago, the beginning of monotheism; during the Renaissance, it was science, arts and knowledge; during our Revolutionary Period, it was freedom from tyranny; in the early 1900s it was working hard to create a home for your family, and during the 60s, it was refusing to accept injustice due to gender or color and distrusting anyone over 30.

In the 70s, the focus was the environment, and since the 80s, the predominant value has been economic gain. The more we acquire, the less we fill fulfilled.

I would like to suggest, that in the focus of a university, the culture it should emphasize should not be a current fad, the latest technology or a management philosophy of the month.

I believe it should be an environment where students are compelled, prepared, and allowed

to safely reflect on who they are and what they might become. And the university should help them to start this journey. I expect graduates of our university to leave with the beginning skills of their trade and a methodology; but I also suspect, our students depart different people than when they arrived.

Knowledge gained in the classroom is important. It is my contention that it is the university culture — all university EXPERIENCES — that provide a cultural milieu (think of this as soup).

A culture is made up of assumptions, values, and artifacts. In a formal organization, such as a university, a fourth component is organizational practices.

Assumptions and values are transmitted to new and old members through observing behavior and seeing how behavior is rewarded. Artifacts include stories, rituals, dress, the environment and language. Organizational practices reinforce assumptions and values and serve as a reminder of what is important.

What is the culture of our university our students learn in? Is it a thick soup or a consommé? Does it have history and tradition? What values does - it teach or inspire? It has a history; but are traditions passed on? Is it recorded? When a prospective student or employee visits, what traditions are they told about? What do alumni remember?

"The turn out was terrible due to bad weather," Schmidt said.

"We make our money on three days out of the year. When two of those days are canceled due to bad weather, your going to find yourself in a jam."

Last year's cancellation was the first time that Aerospace America has ever had to cancel due to weather conditions. And this year's cancellation of the entire show is a first, also.

"We lost $50,000 due to ticket sales, and concessions lost about $50,000 also," Schmidt said.

Aerospace America will soon begin fundraising efforts to help with their debt problem. Although nothing has been said for sure, Schmidt said he thinks they might have a trade show or a silent auction. "Maybe a static airplane display would be a good idea," he said.

Aerospace America is a not for profit organization, so raising the money will rely solely on donations. This is now the top priority of the Board of Directors and members of the Airshow Team, whom are all volunteers.

"We have a good reputation, so I don't think it will be too hard," Schmidt said.

Although this year's show is cancelled, the 2002 show will be on time and scheduled as normal.

April Fools pranksters take prey

April Fools Day brought out the prankster in some UCO students as they placed $1 at the end of a fishing line to fool others into grabbing for the money.

or many people the date April 1 means very little — at least until they hear the words "April Fools" and realize they've become the prey of an April Fools Day prankster.

"One of the typical jokes is telling students there will be a pop quiz and then there isn't one," said Jim Bidlack, UCO associate biology professor.

"I have sent a program to people via e-mail before that made it look like your computer's hard drive was being reformatted and then it said `April Fools' when it was finished."

Although the exact origin of April Fools Day is unknown, the custom of playing springtime practical jokes is observed in many different countries. Most of these celebrations coincide with the vernal, or spring equinox.

In ancient Rome, a Hilaria

festival was celebrated on March 25 in honor of the mother goddess Cybele's joy of the resurrection of her son Attis. Among the festivities were parades and practical jokes among friends.

In India, Hindus celebrate the Feast of Huli on March 31, sending people on "fools' errands," or giving them tasks impossible to complete.

The observance of April Fools Day on April 1 is thought to have begun in France. In 1562, the Gregorian calendar was introduced, changing New Year's Day from April 1 to January 1. Those who hadn't heard of or didn't believe the calendar change and continued celebrating the new year on April 1 were called "April Fools." Today children in France tape paper fishes to their friends' backs to celebrate "Poisson d'Avril" or April Fish Day. Some students have ideas about what they think would be an effective prank to play April 1.

"I think it would be a good joke

to stage a walk-out on April Fools Day," said Eddie Tavares, senior general studies major.

"I think that would really get President Webb's attention."

Bidlack said he was the victim of a prank during his undergraduate years at Purdue University when a classmate told him he was to report to his supervisor because she discovered he had been selling old exams to students.

"I knew it had to be the test file thing. I thought all right, I'm going to get fired. Then I thought I was going to get expelled. I was trying to figure out how I would explain to my parents how I got expelled from Purdue," Bidlack said.

"It turned out I was getting a raise. They thought it was a good idea."

"We have to work and appreciate diversity."

The meeting ended with a Renaissance presentation, which allowed students to identify the positive aspects of school and develop their own loyalty and goals. Tours of the campus were made available following the program.

"It was just really, all-in-all, a good experience," said Ramona Coats, assistant administrator of GEAR UP. Because it is only in its second year, coordinators of GEAR UP do not know the full statistics on the success of students but are pleased with results so far.

"Students have said positive things — that it gave them a better understanding of college, math, reading and scholarships depending on the event they're involved in," Troy said.

Applied Metaphysics class offered in OKC

Student Writer

he School of Metaphysics is now offering the course Applied Metaphysics beginning Wednesday, April 4 in northwest Oklahoma City.

The applied course is not so much an intellectual experience, but rather gives one a truth for themselves, Damian Nordmann, class instructor, said.

The course explores four different aspects of inner-self awareness.

One area studied is dream interpretation it serves as a "picture language.", Singular pointed attention, the second aspect, consists of many mental exercises.

Nordmann said this part of the course primarily teaches one how to focus.

"These are the two most important aspects of this course," said Nordmann.

The third topic covered is mind and body healing. It suggests that every physical disorder is linked with a certain attitude.

The last aspect is meditation. This is the receptive learning of this course, Nordmann said.

The class consists of 24 lessons. It is the first of a three-part series.

The School of Metaphysics in Oklahoma City has offered this course as well as others for over 27 years. Nordmann is one of three volunteer instructors at the school. He uses books provided by the school and many mental exercises to teach this course.

Classes begin Wednesday and will meet each week from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. at 908 N.W. 12th St. in Oklahoma City.

Students must be 18 years of older to enroll.

A $15 per week donation is asked to cover the course and books. For more information, call 228-0506 or e-mail at som_okc@hotmail.com . •

hate Mondays. The smug little way they force the sun through my window, the oh-so-loud way the alarm clock cuts through my sleepdeprived ears and the frantic way commuters try to fit their cars inside the tailpipe of my jeep as they ignore my brake lights while smearing make-up on their faces.

Mondays and I have a long-standing feud. I don't like them, and they don't like me. We agree to disagree, at least six days a week. But our truce is broken at seven o'clock every Monday morning as that rat of a day barges into my bedroom like an inconsiderate roommate babbling about dates he never had and asking to borrow my car.

Anyway, the reason I sit here ranting about Mondays is this: as I sit here enduring the day that wouldn't die, my editor is standing over me calmly reminding me that this column is due every Thursday at three in the afternoon, as opposed to Monday around noonish.

With all this talk about penguins, pigs and piglets... Is The Vista going to open a petting zoo?

—Elmyra

Dear Elmyra

I swear to the Gods that I did not make this up. I actually get dozens of e-mails like this one and I usually have to drink heavily before I can interpret them. The signature "Elmyra" is from a cartoon called the "Animaniacs." At least that is what my girlfriend tells me.

Anyway, I am one of the heretofore mentioned pigs by benefit of being male, the piglets in question are mainly my co-workers here at The Vista (us guys are outnumbered four to one here) and the penguins are the remnants of Chris Maupin's shattered psyche (he is our editorial cartoonist and he is likely to throw things and scream obscenities if you bring up the subject of his evil penguins).

As far as petting zoos go, petting Chris' brain would require unusually large admission fees (not to mention medical training for all zoo guests).

Petting the "piglets" around this office would result in a sexual harassment suit and severe scratch- and slap-wounds.

Petting me, however, is perfectly alright, provided you can afford the relatively high fee I would charge.

I have been dating this guy for about seven months now and totally love him. The problem is, he has a kid from a previous girlfriend and the ex is always calling him. He says he just cares about the kid and wants nothing to do . with the mother, but I have noticed several calls to her on his cell phone bill (he left it out). Do you think I am being played?

Readers: this e-mail is from a freshman. I had to edit it for length.

—Plaything

Dear Plaything )

Of course you are being played. And you know it.

For starters, cell phone bills are not exactly great literature. The people who pay them do not even enjoy reading them, so the fact that you snooped at it proves you are already suspicious (ore psychotic, one of the two). Second, you tell me he claims to want nothing to do with the mother of his child, which is not a standard conversational piece. He most likely told you that because you were questioning him about it.

Finally, you wrote to me, a columnist who turns out nothing but semihumorous,booger jokes and tells people their relationships suck.

The fact that he has a kid with another woman is not as big a thing as it used to be. Nowadays, all it means (to you anyway) is that he was a colossal moron at one time in his life, was too stupid to wear a condom and too immature to support his child. He could have grown since then.

He could now be a fine, upstanding young man that would not get you knocked up before you graduate, would not ruin your life and would not cheat on you.

Or he could still be immature, like the kind of guy who would tell you he does not care about his ex any more, yet still calls her obsessively.

Ask Dave appears every Tuesday in The Vista.
