,6TTERiiâ&#x20AC;&#x17E; Student wants alcohol legalized on campus /

would like to comment on The Alcohol Policy Act of 1999. First, I would like to applaud Messrs Harrison and Jobe. It is about time there are some people who realize that there are some facets of the college experience that are not going to change.

College drinking is one of them. I feel it is to safe to say that the overwhelming majority of freshmen (and other students) partake of what some people like to call "binge drinking".

See, using the words binge drinking, gives the ritualistic rites of passage from one's high school life to their college age a negative connotation.

We all know that the best way to put an issue out of favor with the general public, is to make it really, really bad. It is sensational that way. The media can report that 'college binge drinking is at epidemic proportions'

Not allowing drinking at college functions an idea that I have never understood. After all, isn't it one of the missions of the University to turn us all into wellrounded, educated individuals that are prepared to deal with anything life throws at us?

Student says exam policy unfair ow many of you have had professors who test you over material that was never covered in class?

How many of you like that type of professor and/or teaching style? How well do you expect to score on those exams? I am safe to assume that your answers to these questions are not very positive.

My next question is how would all of you like it if the University of Central Oklahoma adopted a policy that would force professors to administer tests covering material never discussed in class. Sound ridiculous?

H

Well, the University of Central Oklahoma and, more specifically, the Council of Teacher Education have adopted such a policy regarding students majoring in education.

All education majors are now required to take and pass their Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT) prior to student teaching. Previously, future educators took the subject test after completing all course work, including student teaching, and prior to licenser.

With the new policy, education majors are not expected to take and pass the exam before they have completed all course work specific to their certification.

I think it is absurd for a university that prides itself on education to require students to take and pass exams in which they are not fully prepared to take.

It is not the students' lack of preparation, but rather the University's failure to provide those students with the opportunity to properly prepare for the exams.

In the end, UCO and the College of Education will look bad because test score for UCO students will almost certainly be lower than the score of students from other universities who are properly prepared for the exams.

"75% of our residential students are under the legal drinking age."

Point of order Mister Director, who cares. I understand that you have a job to do. I know you must really care about the general welfare of the students you represent.

What does it matter if someone of age buys beer, then invites everyone he can, regardless of their age, to a house party, or they go to the commons? Let the trained police do their job, sir.

Mister Gandy, you are 100% correct. I don't want to be like other schools.

I want to be better than them. I want to be at the University that sets the progressive standards for the future. I want to be at the school that quits bowing down to the establishment and creates a realistic scholastic setting.

I just do not subscribe to the theory that ones religious views have any relevance to governing. It would only seem par if the religious conservatives opposed any change.

Finally, President Webb and UCOSA, Why shouldn't UCO take this step? Don't you think enrollment might increase? Maybe revenues will increase from fees associated with the 'special event license' or profit from sales.

Please understand that I am not an anarchist, an atheist, nor am I anti-authoritarian, I am a realist.

Also understand I am not pushing "Animal House" behavior. I simply feel like college drinking happens. It will continue to happen. You don't have to condone it, you don't have to enjoy the privilege to use alcohol, but you should have to accept the fact that some people do.

Allow drinking, let the college make money from the mark up, and let us who do drink enjoy school just a little bit more.

UCOSA involved in Open Records Act controversy

By N. David Owens

Stafriffriser

T

he student activity fee budget controversy is heating up, with the possibility of legal action on the horizon.

The UCO Student Association (UCOSA) passed a resolution last month stating that funding for student organizations is being unfairly cut.

Now, Nicholas Harrison, the president pro tempore of the UCOSA senate, has alleged that the UCO administration is withholding related documents from UCOSA in a manner that may be illegal.

"This year, the entire budget process is at a halt because we have not received information from the office of student services," Harrison said.

Copies of Harrison's official requests for records indicate that

he wants to find out what the student activity fee has been spent on over the last five years, the correspondence's and minutes of the activity fee committee and copies of the budget requests made this year.

"I made the request approximately four weeks ago, and I have been told that I will not receive them until April 24.

"I think it is unacceptable. The Oklahoma Open Records Act states that a response time has to be 'prompt and reasonable.'

These records have not been shipped to some distant archive somewhere, they are in Dr. Gages office," Harrison said.

Under the open records and open meetings acts, willfully withholding of non-exempt records by a public official is a misdemeanor criminal offense, and carries a civil liability as well.

"I would make a personal appeal to the president before I go

outside the university for a redress of grievances. However, I have not ruled the possibility of taking other action external to the university.

"I would hope that the situation could be solved amicably," Harrison said.

Harrison is afraid the student government will not be able to debate what funds will be spent from this budget if these documents are not made available.

"They provide important information for the student body

to make decisions in regards to the activity fee," Harrison said.

The records are currently in the possession of the office of student services.

"I understood that (UCOSA president) Jarrett Jobe would be the conduit for any requests for data," said Dr. Katherine Gage, vice president of student services.

"We respond to every request ... we do make every effort," Gage said.

Gage has had frequent informal meetings with UCOSA

officials, including Jobe and Harrison, and has delegated the distribution of the records to her assistant, Jarrod Noftsger.

Noftsger said he isn't sure that he believes the documents are relative.

"I don't know if this is paranoia on Mr. Harrison's part," Noftsger said.

Noftsger said his office is trying to fulfill Harrison's request.

"I prioritize the things that come into my office...my plate is very full. He will get those records...He will get them before April 24."

FOl Oklahoma, a private organization of journalists and public officials who encourage compliance with the open meetings and open records laws, has requested copies of Harrison official requests for information, but had no comments as of press time.

Commons seeking students for RA positions

By Mike Greer

stammer

T

he University Commons and dorms are struggling to find resident assistants (RAs) for next year.

"Residence Life Staff had a meeting today and we're really hard up for RA applicants for Fall semester, especially males," said Assistant Coordinator of Resident Life Jamey Keifer.

"We have a few applicants but

it's a very small pool to choose from," she said.

There is an RA for each floor of the dorms and commons.

Their duties range from counciling homesick students to handling fights or drug use in their halls.

An RA is similar to a big brother or sister, easing the students' transition from high school to college.

UCO currently employs 25 RAs but hopes to raise the number to 28 in the fall.

There are still 10 vacancies that need to be filled.

"That's about a third vacancies, last year at this time we had 50 percent vacancies," said Todd Duncan Director of Residence Life.

One possible reason for the lack of suitable applicants is the demanding nature of the job.

"We converted the RA

position to a more of a leadership role," Duncan said.

Training for RAs has increased from two days to an entire week.

While in training RAs learn skills in communication, planning, financial resources, legal issues, counseling, and handling and encouraging diversity.

"Being an RA is a challenge.

You have to be a leader and like to work with people. And it's also very rewarding," Duncan said.

When they see that you were an RA they know the responsibility and ability to work in a group that goes along with that," Duncan said.

Duncan's experience as an RA at Western Kentucky University started him on the path to becoming the Director of Residence Life at UCO. Qualifications for an RA position include communication skills, a desire to work with others, and the applicant must be willing to live in the dorms.

Compensation for RAs includes 20 hour work weeks at minimum wage.

RAs in the commons pay full price for their rooms. In the dorms they pay the normal rate but are given single rooms when available without having to pay the extra single room fee.

Several current RAs have enjoyed their experience and some plan to return next year.

"It's pretty exciting being an RA. You get to meet a lot of people and learn things you never thought you'd be doing," said West Hall RA Monica McDalton.

As fun and rewarding as being an RA is, it can also be a difficult challenge.

S

tarting July 1, Dr. T.H. Baughman will lead the College of Liberal Arts as the new dean.

Baughman is currently the chairman of the history department at Benedictine College in Atcheson, Kan. Dr. Clifton Warren, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts will be leaving office July 1.

"We are very pleased that Dr. Baughman will be joining our academic community this summer," said Dr. Don Betz, vice-president for academic affairs.

"He brings a passion for effective teaching and learning and an exemplary record for scholarship and studentcentered creativity to the College of Liberal Arts."

Baughman holds a bachelor

of arts from Stetson University, a master of arts from Ohio State University and a Ph.D. from Florida State University.

He has taught at Benedictine College since 1990. He was granted tenure in 1994.

Baughman has also taught at Weselyan College in Macon, Ga. He has non-academic

experience with John Wiley and Sons and CBS, Inc. Baughman has published several books, including: "Before the Heroes Came: Antarctica in the 1890s," "Pilgrims on the Ice: The British National Antarctic Expedition 1901-04," "The TLC Guide to Adventure in Europe" and "A Companion to

College's history department.

"During this time I have encouraged members of the department, including students, to share in departmental decisions," Baughman said.

Baughman also worked toward having more students present papers at professional conferences.

Baughman has focused his teaching on 20th century European history.

He said he enjoys teaching both survey courses and upperdivision classes.

"I love teaching freshmen," Baughman said. It's fun.

UCO professor aids peace movement in China, Taiwan

Dr. Xiao-Bing Li teaches a night history class after returning from the March 18 Taiwanese presidential election. Li was part of of a special delegation selected by the Euro-Asian Education Foundation to observe and analyze the election.

Low Ratios Special Children Events Once a year speech, hearing and visual screening Special Parent Programs Computers

Quiet Safe Environment

UCO professor is doing his part to help bring a peaceful solution to political unrest between The People's Republic of China and it's separatist entity Taiwan.

Dr. Xiao-Bing Li, associate professor of history, recently returned from a mission of democracy on a journey abroad as part of a special delegation of American leaders, scholars selected by the Euro-Asian Education Foundation to observe and analyze the March 18 Taiwanese presidential election.

Among those selected with Li was former secretary of state Henry Kissinger.

The results of the election were somewhat surprising to the established Chinese government, with democratic candidate Chen Shui-bian, 49, ousting candidates from the Chinese supported communist parties to win the election.

"Chen is a liberal, grassrooted, open-minded, practical democratic leader," Li said.

"He is not a typical conservative. He favors Taiwan independence. This is something Beijing is not happy about."

An example of Chen's fierce

belief in an independent Taiwan was in his reaction to warlike threats from Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji. Chen responded to the threats by insisting: "Taiwan is an independent, sovereign country.

It is not part of the People's Republic of China."

Chen's victory in Taiwan ended more than 50 years of unbroken rule by the Kuomintang (KMT), the ironfisted regime of Chaing Kaishek and his Nationalist exiles.

The Taiwanese election upset the current status quo on several fronts. It represents the most serious threat yet to the principle, honored in both Washington and Beijing, that Taiwan is nothing more than a wayward province of China, destined for eventual reunification. In fact, the vote was the first democratic transfer of power in China's 5000 year history.

Li is very concerned with the unrest between China and Taiwan. He believes that it is very possible for both sides to find a peaceful solution. He expressed this belief to Taiwanese officials during a seminar he spoke at following the election.

"I spoke to them about the coin theory," Li said.

"When someone looks at a

coin, they see only the two faces. What they fail to see is that there is a third side, the middle of the coin. This is what China and Taiwan need to see, that there is a middle ground and through that a peaceful solution."

Li feels that his experience in Taiwan was a positive one. "[The election] gave me a better understanding of their Taiwan's political society and diplomatic relations to mainland China."

Although the trip to Taiwan was a success, Li feels there are more problems he can help solve.

"There are many hostile feelings between mainland China and Taiwan," Li said.

"It will take time and effort to change these attitudes."

Li has been invited by the China Strategic Society to speak to government officials, including the director of Taiwanese affairs, in Beijing during a policy seminar.

Li will leave for Beijing on April 21 and will stay through April 26.

"I will strongly suggest a peaceful solution to the problems," Li said.

"They [China and Taiwan] don't have to fight. They can be friends. They don't have to be enemies."

Broncho Baseball Splits With Arkansas Tech

C

—

Staff photo by Chieko Hara

Matt Wright makes a play in an early game this season. The Bronchos ran their recora to 23-11 with a doubleheader split with Arkansas Tech.

entral Oklahoma's 7-8-9 hitters combined for 10 hits and 10 RBIs to lead the Bronchos to a 21-5 firstgame victory over Arkansas Tech Tuesday before the Wonderboys rallied for a 7-6 win in the nightcap on a three-run home run in the seventh inning.

UCO, now 23-11 overall, returns to Lone Star Conference North Division action this weekend with a four-game home-and-home series against Southwestern Oklahoma. The Bronchos host the Bulldogs for a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Friday, then go to Weatherford Saturday for a 1 p.m. twinbill.

"We hit the ball well enough that we should have won both games," UCO coach Wendell Simmons said after his team racked up 29 hits in the doubleheader. "It's disappointing that we didn't finish it off, but we'll bounce back and be ready to go this weekend for a big conference series."

The bottom of the batting order keyed Tuesday's opening-game win, with UCO scoring 14 runs in the fifth and sixth innings to break open a close game.

No. 7 hitter David Jones went 3-for-5 with four RBIs to lead UCO's 17-hit attack.

The Bronchos led just 7-5 entering the fifth, but got a three-run homer from Jones in a fiverun uprising there to make it 12-5. UCO broke it open in the sixth with a nine-run volley, getting two-runs hits from Bubba Brown and Jeff Thompson.

Anthony Reed picked up the pitching win with relief help from Brent Smerczynski and Blaine Pennington.

UCO appeared in control of a doubleheader sweep when it entered the seventh inning of the second game with a 6-4 lead, but ATU led off with back-to-back hits and then got a oneout, game winning three-run homer from pinch-hitter Asher Wundrel to shock the Bronchos.

Jones and Rothy Briggs had three hits apiece to lead UCO's 12-hit attack, with Brent Gigerich adding a pair of singles.

Bronchos split with Bulldogs

H

ard-luck pitcher Julie Coast picked up her first win of the season and Central Oklahoma earned a Lone Star Conference North Division softball split with Southwestern Oklahoma Tuesday afternoon at Broncho Field.

The Bulldogs prevailed 6-4 in a hardhitting opener that featured a combined 21 hits by the teams, while Coast led the Bronchos to a 4-1 triumph in the nightcap as Julie Cyr had a 3-for-4 outing at the plate.

It was the first pitching win of the year for Coast, who entered the contest 0-7 but with a solid 3.46 ERA and several tough losses to her credit. She limited SWOSU to four hits and one unearned run while striking out five.

1 Cyr paced UCO's eight-hit attack with her -for-4 performance and she scored the Bronchos' first run when she opened the first

with a single and scored one out later on Jennifer Williams' double to right field.

SWOSU tied it 1-1 with an unearned run in the third, then UCO went back on top 2-1 in the fourth as Melanie Mollett had a runscoring single. The Bronchos added two insurance runs in the sixth, taking advantage of three SWOSU errors and getting an RBI single from Alesha Johnson.

UCO banged out 11 hits in the opener but committed three costly errors that led to three unearned runs as the Bulldogs took the lead early and held on for the win.

Cyr, Williams, Johnson and Mollett all had two hits apiece for the Bronchos.

Laura Blain and the rest of the Broncho Softball team split a doubleheader with the Southwestern Bulldogs Tuesday afternoon at Broncho Field.

The Bronchos won the second part of the twinbill 4-1.

UCO improved to 1-5 in the LSC North.

UCO cadets practice infantry tactics

By N. David Owens

StaffWriter

T

he Broncho Battalion of the US Army's ROTC teamed up with ROTC units from OU and OSU for a field training exercise (FTX) last weekend at Ft. Sill.

The 21 UCO cadets learned combat infantry tactics, land navigation techniques, ambush and patrol methods, and leadership in abnormal situations, such as finding civilians on the battlefield.

Most of these cadets will go on to lead various units of the US Army and may have to use these skills in a combat situation.

"ROTC's whole purpose is to train people to be a leader," said Dave Jensen, a cadet first lieutenant who will be commissioned into the regular army this spring.

"The spring FTX, called `operation Oklahoma,' is held at Camp Eagle, part of Ft. Sill," Jensen said.

Camp Eagle is the compound used to train future army officers, as well as sergeants and staff sergeants at Ft. Sill.

The US military has trained leaders at UCO since prior to World War II, when it used the top floor of Old North as a barracks.

"I thought it was a good show and everything about it was very good," Osterhaus said.

The student actors are really enjoying working with Courtney, Osterhaus said.

"He's good for the students, he's good for the program and everybody likes him."

The students and staff agree.

"Dennis Cortney is the kind of director you want to work with every day." said Mateja Govich, who plays Joseph.

Angela Marks, staff lighting designer, appreciates Courtney's attitude.

"He is very enthusiastic and of course that's contagious."

Courtney tried to balance the

production between the spectacle of the special effects and the story itself.

"Something I like about Webber is that in all of his shows, and is especially evident in Joseph, are people who believe in themselves," Courtney said.

"Things can happen for you if you are really committed to your beliefs," Courtney said.

The technical aspects of the production are important as well.

"The costumes cost in the mega-thousands of dollars.

Joseph's coat cost $8,000 (to make)," Courtney said.

The coat is hand dyed panels of leather.

UCO is renting the costumes

Internationally renowned pianist performs at UCO

By Michael Ross

StaftWriter

O

n Friday, April 7th,

Constitution Hall will play host to a "NimbleFingered Gentleman."

Tony Caramia, an internationally renowned pianist and expert on early jazz and ragtime music, will take the stage at 8 PM for an evening of music from and influenced by the early 20th century.

"During his concert, Mr. Caramia will provide a narrative to complement the music," said Dr. Jan Steele, UCO associate professor of music.

"This concert will give audiences a chance to enjoy and learn about ragtime and jazz music."

In addition to his performance, Caramia will also conduct a workshop for UCO music students at 10 AM on April 8th.

The workshop, which will be held in the Music building, is "a great opportunity for our students to learn from one of the best jazz â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Photo provided pianists in the country," according Tony Caramia, renowned pianist, will perform at 8 p.m. April 7, to Steele. in Constitution Hall. For ticket information call 974 3375.

Caramia, an associate professor -

of piano and Director of Piano Pedagogy Studies at the Eastman School of Music who is considered to be one of the leading experts on Gershwin and the "Jazz Age." He will be including selections by composers ranging from Scott Joplin and Fats Waller to Duke Ellington and Eubie Blake in his performance.

A recent performance at Geneseo University in New York garnered glowing reviews for his renderings of such standards as Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and Ellington's "In A Mellow Tone."

"Introducing a sequence of six ragtime pieces, all from 1899, with stylistic and background notes, Caramia was reminiscent of the concert series given by Leonard Bernstien," wrote Stacey Lefing, Asst. Arts Editor at Geneso.

"The night's burst of jazz and ragtime in retrospect was like a midsummer night's dream," according to Laing.

Ragtime music, which was at its prime in the years between 1899 and 1915, is considered to be a strong influence on early jazz.

However, it is not considered as jazz due to its lack of

improvisation (rags are completely written out before performance) or noticeable relationship with the blues.

While ragtime is most often thought of as piano music, it was not uncommon to hear ragtime music played by orchestras.

Its influence continues to this day, with followers ranging from ragtime traditionalists to Dixieland jazz groups, who often incorporate melodies lifted from rags in their performances, to modern pianists such as Elton John or Ben Folds, who often utilize the sync6pation and structure of rags in their works.

Caramia's playing, which Allmusic.com's writers have dubbed "virtuosic," can be heard on three studio albums (Zebra Stripes, Nimble Fingered Gentleman, and Brass Knuckles) and a recently released live recording.

As well as being an educator and performing artist, Caramia is also a reviewer for American Music Teacher and a contributor to Clavier and Keyboard Companion magazines.

UCO art exhibit post-modern, spooky columnist says

By N. David Owens

StaffWriter ombarded by a harsh overload of noise and confusion, the New Media Show at UCO's Central Museum of Art and Design confronts visitors with an experience reminiscent of a trip through British social commentator George Orwell's mind.

Orwell inspired generations of subversives and paranoids with works such as "1984" and "Animal Farm," books that outlined the human traits of intolerance and totalitarianism, which became a reality years later in communist Russia.

"CIA INTELLIGENCE FBI" in bold face letters head a display that continually repeats scenes of war footage, military training and movie violence, while a century of physics is outlined on the opposite wall.

"What might be called science fiction elements are apt to become real life," said Dr. William Wallow, the director of the museum.

"This exhibit is a collage of popular culture components," Wallow said.

Wallow intends to keep continually expand this show.

"I will also be adding to this exhibit. Sony has loaned us an `Abo' to display. It is a robotic dog ... that has to be trained to respond.

The show covers a wide range of post-modernistic topics, including cyber-money,

B

computer fabrication, cloning and leg bones that apes used as "Humans first tool," a weapon.

Many of the monitor screens in the show rapidly change from pictures to soundless text to blaring static, giving visitors the feeling that they may be experiencing a massive drug overdose.

Art students Nina Hager and Karen Sharp created the artistic vision for this exhibit, while Gary Branscum, Ron Wallin, and Nicholai Tchaouchev handled the technological aspects.

Students walking through the exhibit with a painfully glazed look in their eyes seemed mesmerized by the show, fleeing each station rather than walking calmly away.

This show is a provocative, terrifying, and raw look into our society, providing a counter-point to what we have called 'progress' over the years.

Anyone who feels a sense of paranoia in our post-modern society, or who just wants to experience one of the most expressive single exhibits the university has seen in years is encouraged to hit the museum before the last day on the 16th.

The museum is open Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For more information on this show, call the museum at 974-5931.

Venkategh Mannepalli, M.S. Applied Math with Computer Science major looks at an exhibit titled "Frontiers for Fun." The exhibit is part of the art show in the Central Museum of Art and Design.

Come ye, to the fair Norman hosts Medieval fest

By Robyn Lydick

SeniorWriter ast March, a few UCO students spent a weekend explaining the culinary arts of Medieval and enaissance Europe.

The UCO Medieval Society pavilion at the Norman Medieval Fair has been erected in the public park turned medieval marketplace for the past five years.

The society will erect their new pavillion April 7 for the 24th annual fair. This year, society members will tell all about the Bayoux Tapestry.

"To begin with, it isn't a true tapestry," said society member Deana Covell, a history major .

"It's embroidery."

Dr. Stephen Law, chairman of the humanities and philosophy department, will deliver his William the Conqueror speech, Covell said.

Society members will be in the pavilion each day of the fair to answer questions and show various skills and objects.

"We will have some spinners and maybe a warpweighted loom," Covell said.

The UCO society holds a different place at the fair.

Many organizations are recreation and theatrical groups, Covell said.

"We are the only educationallycentered group."

Student uses tap dance, comedy to win Mr. UCO

By Allison FrankIn

StaffWiller

T

ap dancing in a pair of boxer shorts in front of a crowd at Constitution Hall on April 1 would be nothing more than an April Fools joke for the average guy.

For Travis Tidwell, though, it was all a part of a successful effort to win the title of Mr. UCO 2000.

Tidwell, a junior electrical engineering major, received $850 in scholarship money and a fourteen-carat gold lapel pin engraved with his initials, along with his title.

"Being named Mr. UCO was exhilarating, exciting and stunning — there are no words to describe it," he said.

Tidwell competed against thirteen other males in the 6th

annual pageant, which was sponsored by the University Center Activities Board (UCAB).

Receiving the title of first runner-up was senior journalism major John Reagor, who received $315 for his efforts.

For his talent, Reagor sang "This is the Moment" from "Jekyll and Hyde." When his name was announced as first runner-up, Reagor was surprised.

"It felt so good. The contestants were amazing, and I would have hated to be a judge. Tonight was the most fun night of my life," he said.

Receiving second runner-up was junior biology education major Kurt Jones, who played and sang an original composition on the guitar in the talent competition.

The award for Most Congenial went to sophomore nursing major Lazarus Salathian Candler, who played the trombone for his talent.

—Staff photo by Landon Salyer Travis Tidwell taps his way to the title of Mr. UCO 2000 during the entertainment portion of the pageant. Tidwell 's performance, "Back to Work" was a comedy-tap routine which involved dressing while dancing.

Contestants in the pageant were judged in sportswear, talent, formal wear and onstage interviews.

For the interview competition, each contestant drew a question out of a fish bowl.

"What do you value most in a relationship?" and "How do you define success?" were a few of the questions asked.

"Contestants were judged mainly on the originality of their talent, how they answered their on-stage question, and their personality," said Clemens, who emceed the pageant along with UCAB covice president, Marcy Priest.

Two of the judges, Dr. Kurt Hochenauer and Dr. David Massey, are professors at UCO. The other three — Angela Griffis, Tara Scott and Mary Williams — are experienced judges from the community.

"It was a fun experience," Griffis said.

"We had a great group of talented guys to choose from, and it was a hard choice."

UCAB members worked hard to make the pageant run smoothly.

"It went really well this year.

All the guys were very ambitious and mature," she said.

To be eligible to compete in the Mr. UCO pageant, students had to be males enrolled in nine hours or more at UCO with at least a 2.0 GPA. Other contestants in the Mr. UCO 2000 pageant, and their talent, were as follows: Wes Barnhart, a senior physical education major, played and sang an original composition.

Terrence Bellows, a sophomore sociology major, performed an original monologue.

Brandon Grissom, a sophomore English education major, sang a song.

John Paul Jordan, a freshman history education major, performed a comedy routine.

Anthony Ikemesit Mboho, a freshman medical technology major, performed a monologue.

Mike Nagel, a junior marketing major, read an original poem.

Viresh Parmar, a senior actuarial science major, performed a monologue.

Eddie Tavares, a junior music theatre major, sang.

Ali Torabi, a freshman predental major, played the setar.

The Mr. UCO contestants seemed to agree that the pageant was an enjoyable experience.

"I had a blast. It was a great opportunity to meet some talented guys and have fun getting to know them," Grissom said.

The contestants also felt they learned a great deal by competing.

"I learned that you really can't prepare for the interview," Jordon said.

For many of the contestants, the best part of the pageant was at the end when all the contestants came on stage for a few minutes of improv.

"We had so much fun just acting like boys," Mboho said
