o you have more than six friends and relatives? If you are graduating this spring they may have to wait in line to attend your graduation. "(Graduates who) don't need their tickets are encouraged to turn them in, and those needing additional tickets can get on a waiting list for more in the degree certification office," said Terry May, assistant vice president of academic affairs. Any unfilled seats will be open to the general public after the national anthem is sung. The tickets are being issued due to the expected number of
guests attending. "Seating for guests has become problematic," May said. With the number of students applying for graduation this spring at 1,125 and growing daily, May is dealing with a large number of concerns. "We will have people from facilities management on hand to fix any problems. We will have an EMSA ambulance on hand. We will have police and security, ushers, music students, an interpreter for the deaf, and 6 busses," May said. These handicapped accessible busses are V See GRADUATION,

and attendance is free. School districts attending the fair are seeking classroom teachers for a wide range of certification areas, plus speech and language pathologists, school nurses, counselors, psychologists, psychometrists and library media specialists, said Jennifer Johnson, University Relations news bureau director. Informational booths will be set up at the job fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. During this time, employers can schedule individual interviews, to be held
after 1 p.m., with potential employees. The booths will provide an opportunity for participants to pick up job applications, visit with school administrators and find out about job openings, said Gina Eastman, director of Career Services.

"(Graduation) is a costly operation," said May, who has coordinated over 50 graduation ceremonies at UCO. The graduation ceremonies are now held in Hamilton Field
House, UCO's largest structure. The ceremonies were moved indoors in 1993 due to lack of accessible seating, inclement weather and other environmental concerns. For more information on graduation, go to the degree certification office in the University Center, Room 121 or call 974-2392.

Student unhappy with The Vista's Greek coverage; slanted, negative
A
s a student at UCO, I am always reading The Vista to find out about interesting things going on throughout campus. Unfortunately, it seems as if the Vista is more concerned with focussing on issues and topics that really don't contribute to the improvement of the University. I can recall since I have been attending UCO several articles in regards to fraternity and sorority issues. Most of which have been negatively printed without any consideration for the organizations involved. Last weekend my fraternity, Kappa Sigma, along with the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority from UCO and two other Greek houses from OCU held a philanthropy event to benefit the Oklahoma City Memorial Foundation. Our efforts, which included pushing a bathtub 17 miles
from Edmond to Oklahoma City University have raised over $2,000 to date and money continues to come in. The editors of the Vista were notified and invited to join us for the event, yet no story has been run. I have been contacted by one student who is writing an article for class, that may run in the paper next week. My question is this, if the Daily Oklahoman felt it was news worthy, as they printed a brief article on page 3a of the March 26th Saturday Oklahoman and the Edmond Sun felt it was news worthy, printing an article in the Saturday paper and a front page picture on the Sunday paper, how come The Vista didn't deem it important? I think The Vista should reconsider their stance on Greek organizations. These organizations create fellowship, families and opportunities that last a
lifetime. They build campus involvement and work to better the lives of hose involved and the communities around them. The students deserve to hear both sides of the story. The students deserve to hear about the positive aspects of Greek life. By printing nothing but negative, the Vista ranks up here with a regular trashy tabloid. I implore you to look at what good things Greek life represents. I trust that future editions will make mention of the positive things the Greek community at UCO has done and continues to do. By doing that, your creating a better future for our University. Thanks for your time, Mike Thrift, President, Kappa Sigma Fraternity Z:D

scheduled interviews will be conducted in classrooms on the third floor of the University Center. These interviews are limited to students from UCO, Oklahoma Christian University and Oklahoma Baptist University Last year, over 600 people attended the job fair. "We hope to match — if not exceed — this number," Eastman said. "We want a lot of candidates so employers will have a variety to choose from and will want to participate in the job fair again next year." Typically, UCO's Teacher Job Fair attracts an array of teaching candidates, Eastman said. "Most people who attend are college students who will be graduating in the spring or summer, but there ar e also some teachers who are looking for new positions that attend," she said. Other universities have teacher job fairs similar to UCO's, Eastman said. "We coordinate our time with OSU's fair, which is held the day before ours. This makes it easy for employers to attend both fairs," she said. This year, 13 more school districts are represented than

UCO Professor receives Educator of the Year Award By Robyn Lydick
4-6
SeniorWilier Edward Collins, long-time UCO professor of curriculum and instruction, received the 2000 Special Educator of the Year Award from the Oklahoma Federation of the Council for Exceptional Children (CFEC). Collins accepted the award during the council's state conference in Norman. Collins teaches in the special education program in the College of Education. "The council is the largest organization for professionals involved with special education," Collins said. "It's wonderful to be recognized by my peers." The Oklahoma federation of CFEC is an organization of professionals who work with special education children. "The nice thing about this award is it is given by professionals in the field, parents and teachers and not some group deciding who gets it." Collins has researched Autism and Tourette's Syndrome. He produced a visual program for a Tourette's Syndrome organization. The program is available in six languages. Uncontrolled verbal outbursts are symptoms of Tourette's Syndrome. "The most extreme form of Tourette's, that people will see on TV, is when the person says profanity," Collins said. Collins has also researched the links between Tourette's, obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficithyperactivity disorder. "Often, learning disabilities are seen along with children with the other problems," Collins said. Dr. Lola Davis, chairman of the Special Education department, speaks highly of

It's wonderful to be recognized by my peers. —Dr. Edwards Collins 2000 Special Educator of the Year Collins' recognition. "He is well recognized as a professional who makes changes," Davis said. "He makes sure programs have integrity." Davis said Collins has national recognition with his work with children with autism and his work on adaptive technologies. Dr. Karen McGrath, assistant professor of curriculum and instruction, works with Collins in the special education area. "Dr. Collins is well-liked by students because of his sense of humor, enthusiasm and dedication to special education," McGrath said. McGrath remembered one of Collins' projects to help both
UCO students and children with autism. "For several summers, he provided an opportunity for children with autism to come to UCO for a week of interaction with special education majors," McGrath said. Collins earned his bachelor's degree from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. in 1966; -a master's from East Central Oklahoma State in 1967 and a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma in
1990. Collins began teaching at UCO in 1976. He received the Distinguished Educator Award from the National Tourette's Syndrome 4,3 Association in 1998.

ormer UCO star and current NBA rookie Eddie Robinson said they would do it. Robinson's fellow Flint, Mich., natives Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson and Charlie Bell are three starters for Final Four team and possible NCAA Champions (written April 2) the Michigan State Spartans. Robinson and the three college standouts played AAU ball in Flint,playing against and with each other. "We made each other better, we had some tough games," said Robinson, during a press conference during "Eddie Robinson Night" at Hamilton Field House back on February 10. "They're going to win it all, they have the best team in college basketball," said Robinson. The respect is mutual between all four Flintstones, in a recent article in US A Today, Cleaves was asked who he thought was the best basketball player to ever come out of Flint and he said Robinson was the one. "I don't know about that," Robinson said. Robinson is currently a rookie for the playoff bound Charlotte Hornets and has seen quality playing time in the Hornets six-game winning streak. Robinson has played in 57 of the Hornets 72 games and leads the team in field goal percentage with .538 %, while averaging 6.7 points a game and 2.6 rebounds a game. Cleaves, Peterson and Bell are NBA bound and have led the Spartans to the school's first NCAA Championship game since 1979 when the Magic Johnson led Spartans defeated Larry Bird's Indiana State team. The Spartans are favored by four-points over the Flordia Gators in what many experts are calling the best championship game in years. No matter if the Spartans win or lose, they are definitely doing something right in Flint.

entral Oklahoma couldn't take advantage of another dominating performance by Kyle Dover in a Lone Star Conference North Division showdown with Southeastern Oklahoma here Friday and the Savages went on to sweep a doubleheader from the Bronchos. No. 16-ranked SOSU prevailed 2-1 in a grueling 13-inning first game before routing the No. 26-rated Bronchos 10-1 in the nightcap. Heavy rains Saturday morning canceled the second doubleheader between the two old rivals and those games will not be made up. The defending league champion Savages took over the LSC North lead with the wins, improving to 22-8 overall and 7-3 in the division while the Bronchos fell to 22-10 and 7-5. Dover, a junior right-hander from Norman who has proven to be UCO's unquestioned ace and one of the elite pitchers in NCAA Division II this season, was nothing short of brilliant in Friday's opener. He went nine innings, allowing just four hits, one walk and one run while striking out 10 and didn't figure in the decision. The Bronchos took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of that contest as Brett Roach walked, stole second, went to third on an error and scored on Bubba Brown's RBI groundout. It stayed that way until the sixth, when SOSU's Jerry Williams hit a solo home run. UCO stopped SOSU's only extra-inning threat in the 11th when catcher Rod Richardson made a nice play at the plate on an attempted steal, but the Savages finally got the win in the

bottom of the 13th. Matt Bales led off with a walk, then he came all the way around with the winning run when the Bronchos threw the ball away on Jeremy McCarty's bunt. SOSU jumped on top quickly in the second game, getting four runs in the first inning. UCO scored its lone run in the fourth on Ray Danzy's RBI single, but the Savages made it 5-1 in the fifth then pulled away with a five-run volley in the sixth. —From staff reports

n extra-inning victory highlighted first-day action at the Hall of Fame Softball Invitational for Central Oklahoma here Friday, with heavy rains washing out the second day of the 10-team tournament. UCO dropped a 3-1 decision to Emporia State in Friday's tournament opener, then rebounded for a thrilling 9-8, 12-inning triumph over Science &Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) before ending the day with a 6-0 loss to East Central. The youthful Bronchos, with just one senior on their injury-depleted 12-player roster, are now 517-1 on the year and return to conference action Monday with a doubleheader at Southwestern Oklahoma. Emporia State broke a scoreless deadlock with three runs in the fourth, with the Bronchos getting one back in the top of the fifth on Jordan Wheeler's RBI single.But UCO left the bases
loaded in that frame and didn't threaten again. UCO's 9-8 win over USAO took 12 innings and nearly three and one-half hours, with the Bronchos escaping bases-loaded jams in the eighth, ninth, 10th and 11th innings en route to the win. UCO took a 4-3 lead in the top of the seventh, scoring a pair of two-out runs, but the Lady Drovers forced the game into extra inMngs with an unearned run of their own in the bottom of the seventh. Jordan Wheeler had two RBI hits for the Bronchos in extra innings that would put UCO top, but USAO answered and threatened to score the game-winner . The Bronchos took another one-run lead in the 12th, making it 9-8 on a double by Jennifer: Williams that scored Julie Brock and this time the /_12 Bronchos held on for the win. —From staff reports

The Army Reserve Alternate TI.aining Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with over $7,000 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training. Second, if you have—or obtain—a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $1,500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,600 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you 11 attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give us a call:

Christian athletes students rally at Hamiltion Field House By Zach Anderson

T
he first amendment right of "freedom of religion" was witnessed firsthand when UCO students gathered at Hamilton Field House for a night of praise and worship. The UCO Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) hosted a city-wide rally March 29 with special guest Ross King, a Christian recording artist. King is a native of Texas and is currently a worship leader for Breakaway Ministries, a Christian organization based at Texas —Staff photo by Landon Salyer A&M University. King has been writing and playing songs Ross King, a Christian recording artist, performs a mixture of cover and original musical since the age of 14. pieces for the FCA Rally held every semester.

"I hope that my music will always give God glory," King said. "Hopefully, if I'm saying something awesome about him, if people are thinking about him because of the songs, then God is getting glory and people are getting to know him, and that's the ongoing goal." King performed for approximately 300 students during the concert. He played some of his original music, including a few humorous ballads, before slowing the tempo and leading the audience into a time of praise and worship. King said he enjoyed the opportunity to perform at UCO. "The people were very receptive and sang along with V See FCA,

I felt like God was right there with us." The concert was well received by the students who attended. "It was incredible. Music always speaks to me, and it touched my heart," said UCO freshman Laura Wilhite. Todd Gleaves, a sophomore chemistry/health science major agreed. "This was great, it was just awesome," said Gleaves. Many students felt that the concert gave them a chance to relax and meditate on their relationship with God. "The concert tonight was really cool. It was so relaxed and open to whoever wanted to come. It was a great time to reflect on my life and see what God is doing in it, and just to sit in his presence," said April Lawson, a sophomore
recreational management major. FCA members hope students who didn't attend will come to future FCA functions. "The people who didn't attend tonight missed out on a real blessing," said Amanda Danskin, a sophomore music theater major. King's concert was the first venue of its type to be sponsored by FCA, but they hope to make it an annual event. "We've done things similar to this in the past two years, but we've never had this big of a name before," said Jess Loepp, FCA captain. "It was different for us. We have some things to learn about putting this type of thing on, but we learned a lot this time. It is definitely a goal for us to continue to put on this type of thing at least once a year." The UCO FCA hopes to use this first concert as a bridge to even more successful programs.
"We want this to be an annual thing," said FCA sponsor and varsity women's volleyball coach Mark Herring. "This is our ice breaker, and hopefully we can build on it and take it another step." Loepp considers the night to have been an overall success. "The concert tonight was awesome, just awesome," Loepp said. "I mean, I had people telling me tonight this was the best praise and worship they had ever been to, and that speaks an awful lot for Ross and the music he plays." "It was just unbelievable. I mean, you could feel God's presence all around. Just awesome." UCO's FCA meets every Wednesday night at 9:00 in Hamilton Field House. For more information, call Loepp at 478-5025.

Famous actor plays Poe in UCO Broadway Show John Astin preforms in Mitchell Hall By Michael Ross
staitivriter
J
ohn Astin brings one of America's most respected writers to the stage in a one-man show for the finale of the 1999-2000 season of UCO's Broadway Tonight series. Edgar Allan Poe, Once Upon a Midnight, will be presented on Monday, April 10th in Mitchell Hall. Tickets for balcony seats are available for $25 a piece. English majors can receive admission for $5 and professors can attend for $10. To reserve tickets or purchase them with a credit card, call the Mitchell Hall box office at 9742311. Midnight is an attempt to humanize Poe, stripping away much of the mythology that surrounds him and presenting him as a man. "The ghost of Poe shows up in the theater," said Astin in a press release. "He's here to set the record straight— his reputation, life works, demons, and to lay his
heart bare." Poe is considered by many to be one of the greatest writers in the American literary tradition. He was responsible for classic poems and stories including "The Raven," "The Goldbug," and "Murders in the Rue Morgue," which is considered to be the first "detective" novel. In addition to his work, his troubled personal life has become something of a legacy, with stories of alcoholism, failed careers, and a mysterious death. Astin, who turned 70 on the March 30th, has established himself as a fixture in American acting. Beginning his career as a senior at Joh-ns Hopkins University, where he was majoring in math, Astin did graduate work in dramatics at the University of Minnesota. First appearing on-stage in the off-Broadway Threepenny Opera, Astin made his transition to films with a small but memorable part as a social worker in 1961's West Side Story.
LSAT The June 12th LSAT is approaching. Get the score that gets you in. OKC CLASS STARTS APRIL 30th
He would go on to have a lengthy career in cinema, including an Academy Award nomination (for 1968's Prelude). However, Astin is probably best known as the debonair Gomez Addams in the cheerfully macabre television series The Addams Family. The series, which ran from 1964 to 1966, brought Astin celebrity, which he then eschewed for a more bohemian 'lifestyle. Astin began to spend a great deal of time touring the nation in theatrical productions, often living out of his van. While he thrived on this lifestyle, it would soon play a part in the dissolution of his marriage to actress Patty Duke. While he hasn't had a regular television role since his recurring part on the cult favorite Eerie, Indiana, he is still very much in demand, whether it be in cameo roles on television and in films, or in roles on stage. The 2000-2001 season of Broadway Tonight is scheduled to include Steel Pier, Jekyll and Hyde, George M!, and concerts by Roger Williams and the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and Sandi Patty. For more information about Broadway Tonight, call 974-2641.

Continued from page 15 outreach initiatives underway in the UCO College of Education. Another example is the `Reading Buddies' program at Arcadia Elementary School, just outside of Edmond. `Reading Buddies' was the brainchild of Arcadia Vice Principal Kim Zachary, a UCO alumna. For the past three years, elementary education students enrolled in Dr. Pam Kuzminski's Children's Literature have spent their Tuesday afternoons reading aloud to students from books provided by the UCO Department of Curriculum and Instruction. "We are a small staff with just four full-time teachers," Zachary said. "I look at the 'Reading Buddies' program as a way to bring in new people and ideas
into the school to help our boys and girls." UCO students, as well as parents of Arcadia students and community leaders, participate in the program. "We stagger the schedule so that each week there are at least three to four UCO students at Arcadia reading aloud to children," Kuzminski said. It is a win-win situation for UCO students and the Arcadia school," Kuzminski said. "Our students get the chance to work with children in small groups, while the Arcadia students get small group attention and access to new reading material." The 'Reading Buddies' program is in its third year. yti Provided by University Relations — Photo provided

UCO holds 28th annual powwow By Steven Parrish
StUdent&I/WU CO will host the 28th Annual Spring Contest Powwow on April 8 in Hamilton Field house. Special guest Rachel Clarkson, Miss Indian UCO, will attend the event, and several different tribes will likely be represented. Following traditional powwow practice, it will feature Gourd dancing, the Grand Entry, contests, drums, princesses and arts and crafts booths. A free supper will be served at 5 p.m. The Grand Entry will begin at 7 p.m. This signals the beginning of the pow-wow. During the Grand Entry, the different tribes bring their flags out and place them next to the master of ceremonies table. The master of ceremonies informs guest and dancers which dances are to be performed, announces events, tells jokes and answers questions. There will be contests in eight categories of dances beginning at 8 p.m. "There will be different kinds of categories like Ladies Cloth and Ladies Buckskin," said Deidra Saumty, director of
U
the powwow. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners. Some dances allow guests to dance and experience what it is like to participate in a powwow. But, some of the dances are reserved for specific dancers that are well-respected in their tribe. Some of the dancers coming to the UCO powwow included Head Gourd Dancer Collier Oyebi, Head Man Dancer Dennis Zotigh and Head Lady Dancer Crystal Yeahquo. Drums are the people who sing and play the instruments in the center of the dancing arena. The Head Singer starts each song with singing the lead and the drums repeat the lead. Princesses are young girls elected to travel to powwow and spread their tribe or organization's name. All drums and princesses are welcome to attend the UCO powwow. The event is free and open to the public. Arts and crafts booths are available for $25. No alcohol or drugs are allowed at the event. For more information, call Deidra Saumty, Jessica Johnson or Miron Billingsley at 974-2580. X

Blues band performs free concert at Broncho Lake By Robyn Lydick

T
he Blackhawk Blues Band will play their distinctive brand of smoky blues for UCO from 1 to 4 p.m., April 6 at the pavilion by Broncho Lake. The free concert is part of UCO's celebration of American Indian Heritage Week. The band was formed in 1990 by four musicians: lead guitarist Cecil Gray (Kiowa), rhythm guitarist Batite Jones (Ponca-Ote), bassist Melvin Scott (Creek and Pima) and drummer Al Garcia (Koke-ta koy, Kiowa for Mexican). The quartet has played almost every major nightclub in Oklahoma City and Norman. They have also played Festival of the Arts, Dusk to Dawn Blues Festival, the Oklahoma State Fair and the Paseo Art and Music festival. The band describes their sound as gritty and electric.
The band is being brought to campus by the Multicultural Student Services Office, the Creative Studies Writers Institute and the English department as a part of the Sherman Chaddlesone Arts and Letters Lectures. The Sherman Chaddlesone Arts & Letters Lectures series was created to expose and tap into the talent of artists and writers who come from different backgrounds, cultures and customs. Sherman Chaddlesone is a full blood Kiowa from Anadarko. He attended Central State University in 1972 and 1973. He went on to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Chaddelsone was the first speaker for the series in 1996.

goal post so small that I wonder how the ball manages to squeeze through. The sight of the players appearing larger than life on the undersized field is pretty darn funny, and the sport does seem somewhat less noble without mud, rain and sidelines where coaches can hide from the bone crunching. But Arena football makes up for this by moving with lightning speed, having 15- minute quarters, scores that change by the split-second, players being flung into the bleachers, and bodies ricocheting off walls. This is why you see very few hulking linebackers in this sport. It tends to favor acrobats over powerhouses. Basically, it is custom-made for my short-attention-span generation (which falls between "The Breakfast Club" and "Pokemon"). And the cheerleaders are great too. The Wranglers are going to be every bit as popular as the Blazers, if this game was any indication. The game was just an exhibition,
kliboata Wranglers —Photo provided pre-season, for a team that has never been seen before, in an area that has never experienced this style of sports. Yet over 8,500 people showed up. Many other arenas in this league don't even have that many seats, much
less fans. Ed Gatlin, the team owner, made a good decision when he brought his team here from Portland, Ore. This is a bit out of the ordinary, as Oklahoma City sports history is mainly made up of bad decisions, such as deciding that the Cowboys football team was not worth our time. But Oklahoma City is starting to step boldly out of the 1930s and make good decisions in the realm of pro sports with the surprising success of the Blazers and Redhawks, which was a major factor for the Wranglers move here. The Arena Football League is not the minors, beholden to some larger arena league and only competing against places like Tulsa. Instead, we have the chance to abuse visiting teams from places such as California, Florida, Michigan and New York. Oklahoma City is brutal to visiting teams, with booing, hissing, frequent
threats of death and anatomically impossible instructions drifting down from the stands. It would not have surprised me in the least to see a few dozen visiting players twitching in the corner and sucking their thumbs before the national anthem was over. And those poor guys did not bring any cheerleaders. Anyway, the Wranglers did not win their first game, loosing 37-30 in the final seconds of play, but I find it very hard to believe that will lessen their new fan's rabid enthusiasm. Later on this year, the Wranglers host the team from Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is a town just a few hours southwest of my old home. Will it be treason when I show up to the game in a Wranglers T-shirt?
