n apparent love triangle turned violent last week when a UCO student was assaulted in her dormitory room.

UCO Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers said Melanie Cooks, 19, and David Pullard, 23, were assaulted March 31 in the West Hall dormitory.

Cooks told DPS officers that Pullard, her boyfriend, was visiting her in her dormitory room around 9:15 p.m. March 31, when her former boyfriend knocked on the door.

Cooks told police she opened the door to find Rashan Wesley and another male she did not know. She said Wesley asked her if Pullard was inside the room. and when she answered "yes," Wesley pushed the door open, hit her in the face and shoved her to the floor.

She said he then went over to the bed where Pullard was lying and started punching him in the face.

According to police reports, Wesley chased Pullard out of the room, down the hall and into the parking lot where Wesley and his friend drove off.

Pullard was treated at the scene and later at Edmond Regional Hospital for face lacerations. Cooks was not treated for injuries.

ecently, Reggie White, Green Bay Packers defensive end, offended just about every minority group in the country. In a fumbling speech, White stereotyped and criticized Asians, Mexicans, blacks, homosexuals and Americans.

He doesn't feel the need to apologize because he claims his statements stand behind the word of God. Most people who publicly denounce homosexuality and other minorities usually denounce blacks. Black churches were founded on discrimination, so it's hypocritical for a "Christian" black man to stand up and condemn another group of Christians and exclude them from the faith.

He said the media took his words out of context and he stands behind everything he said. If that's the case, then he should be held accountable for-his remarks. Nike and Campbell should pull his endorsement contracts as fast as they can because minority groups are in an uproar.

Some advice for White. Hire a speech writer for your next public appearance. .

Cheating may result in fines and jail time

By Mark A. Schneberger startwriw

C

heaters beware: Copying test answers off your friend's paper could quickly earn you a failing grade.

But it could also land your friend in jail, if a bill being debated by the U.S. Senate passes this congressional term.

The bill, proposed by Sen.Charles Ehlmann (RMissouri), would recognize allowing someone to cheat from completed work a misdemeanor.

Accomplices found guilty of helping cheaters would face stiff penalties, including six months in jail, a $500 fine, or both.

Ehlmann's bill was introduced to the Senate in January • and is still being addressed in the Senate's Education Committee.

The senator said he feels the bill will likely pass through committee and be approved by the Senate later this year.

"I have some friends in academia who really think this (helping cheaters) is beginning to become a problem,' ? Ehlmann said in a public statement. "We need to have a criminal penalty."

The bill did not specify,if teachers or others would be required to report incidents of cheating to local authorities, or if a student would be arrested on the scene for helping cheaters.

However, it did apply to all forms of cheating; including selling term papers and taking exams for others.

Despite Ehlmann's assertions that the bill—if made into law— would curb cheating in schools nationwide, some UCO educators said congress is entering into an area where it doesn't belong.

Dr. Douglas Sprung UCO chairman of Professional Curriculum and Instruction, said he felt a law prohibiting helping cheaters would be ineffective and unnecessary.

"Personally I don't think we should be trying to pass legislation in areas such as this.

I can't see how this could help (curb cheating)," he said.

Sprung said he had no formal knowledge about the bill, but felt UCO was doing an adequate job of curtailing cheating without federal assistance.

"There are already deterrents here on campus which are better suited to prevent the problem," he said. "I'd support what we have at UCO first."

UCO adopted long-standing policies which specifically address cheating and those involved in the practice.

In a section of the school's student handbook, students are warned that participating in dishonest acts could win them heavy penalties, including expulsion.

Dishonesty is listed as "cheating, violating the integrity of examinations, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the university or staff," according to the handbook.

But a national expert on the subject of cheating, Dr. Steve Davis, said no law or school policy will ever eliminate the cheating practice altogether.

Davis, a psychology professor at Emporia State University in Kansas, said 60 to 70 percent of all college students likely have cheated or helped friends cheat. And they will probably continue to cheat throughout their college careers.

He presented information about the subject last week in a forum held for educators at UCO. "The bill may reduce the amount of cheating on campuses at first, but no bill or policy will stop hard-core cheaters," he said.

"There are only two things that the hard core cheaters say will stop them from cheating— death and 'dismemberment. I don't think a bill (addressing aiding cheaters) will deter them at all."

ASSAULT Continued from front page Wesley was arrested by UCO police April 1 and charged with aggravated assault and battery. He was taken to the Oklahoma County jail where he was later released on a $4,500 bond.

Wesley told • police he

gained access to Cooks' dormitory when he called her from the West Hall lobby. He said another female answered the phone call because it was forwarded to her number and that a female came down to the lobby and escorted him

and his friend up to Cooks' room.

Escorted guests are allowed in dormitory rooms from 11 a.m. to midnight Sundays through Thursdays and from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Student group offers lunch on lake Volunteers needed

By Mark A. Schneberger Staff

D

oing lunch at UCO may be a little more enjoyable next week, thanks to the efforts of the Student Programming Board.

Board members said they are encouraging all students and faculty to join them on the west bank of Broncho Lake for an afternoon of picnicking fun, at an event called Lunch on the Lake.

The event will begin at 12:30 p.m. April 10, near the amphitheater with the pop music styling of Good Hope

Rd., an Edmond band.

Students should bring their lunch and blankets if they need them.

"We want people scattered all over the place—eating and relaxing and listening to great music," said Patrick Farrimond, Student

Programming Board spokesman.

"If you're looking for a great, cheap date, this is where you need to be."

Farrimond said the Programming Board came up with the picnic plans after realizing that there weren't enough outdoor activities for UCO students.

He said the spring-like

weather and new amphitheater seemed a perfect combination for forming an event.

"We have this great amphitheater out there and I haven't seen anyone use it. So we decided we would," he said.

Lunch on the Lake planners said the event will likely last about an hour.

The band, however, will play as long as people eat.

If Lunch on the Lake is a success, Farrimond said he thought the Programming Board would make it a weekly event.

"Bring a blanket, some lunch and your ears and we'll do the rest," he said.

for Special Olympics

O

klahoma Special Olympics is looking for people who can give high fives.

Students who fit that bill can apply to be a volunteer at the state games of the Oklahoma Special Olympics May 13-15 at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, "College students add a lot to the experience of the athletes because of their energy and enthusiasm," said Mary Calvert of Oklahoma Special Olympics.

Hilary Casillas, marketing director for Oklahoma Special

Olympics, said students don't need any special skills to be a volunteer.

"Volunteers do a variety of activities, from handing out water to staging athletes for track and field events," she said, "It's something anyone and everyone can do."

According to Casillas, over 2500 people volunteer each year for the special olympics.

Events include power lifting, track and field, and aquatics.

For more information about volunteering, call 1-800-7229004 and speak with a volunteer coordinator.

In Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, Treasure Island, young Jim Hawkins is charged with the duty of being on the lookout for "the seafaring man with one leg." When Gernjak graduates from UCO and takes his first elementary teaching job, he may well hear his students warning the younger swabs to be on the lookout for the teaching man with one leg. "Kids flock to me," Gernjak said.

"God saved me for a reason—he wants me to be a teacher because I have something to say."

At the age of 32, Gernjak, now a junior, has a lot to say, but the road that led him to that realization hasn't been an easy one.

GERNJACK Continued from page 8 "I stopped all of it," he said. "It wasn't as hard as I had imagined.

After about two years I weaned myself.

"Today, it's great to be sober," he said. "It's amazing what you can do when you have a coherent brain."

That coherency brought with it the realization that•he was a hit with children.

"At first they go, 'What happened?' and 'Gross,' or whatever," Gernjak said, referring to the children's reactions to his amputated leg.

He said the comments bothered him in the beginning, but now he shrugs them off.

He returned to school, this time coming to UCO to major in education.

He also spent some time working in a day care center, just to assure himself he was making the right career decision this time.

He's sure he's on the right track now.

"I love the kids' candor and honesty," Gernjak said.

He said the kids' questions about his missing leg are honest questions most adults are too intimidated to ask for themselves.

"Once I break the ice with a joke or something, the kids aren't afraid

anymore and relax," Gernjak. said.

He said he feels children today are 'starved for attention by parents who have to work too hard to make ends meet.

"We have to work like dogs and stick our kids in day care, where the day care workers are stressed out because they've got 50 kids in one room and there's only two of them to watch them," he said.

Gernjak wants to be the role model in the lives of those children.

"Kids will come up to me and give me a big ol' hug. They don't see that I'm crippled. They just see that I'm a different guy.

"That's what I want to teach theme—that it's okay to be different," Gernjak said.

"No matter how hard life is, you have to keep on going and you can make it."

Gernjak doesn't see himself as handicapped, either. He said he will usually bypass a handicap parking space to leave -it open for someone with a wheelchair.

For spring break, Gernjak made another of his frequent trips to the ski slopes of Colorado.

"I was skiing before the amputation," he said. "It was all I had

in the way of sports. I was made for it."

For a couple of years after his leg was removed, he ignored the call to ski. But the urge was too strong, and he went back and made himself learn to ski on one ski.

The next physical challenge Gernjak wants to attempt is skydiving.

The confidence to have such a dream is a big adjustment from where he was just after the operation. that took his leg.

"When I first got out of bed after the amputation, I tried to take a step and fell to the ground," Gernjak said.

"I got up and started bouncing. I wanted to be normal. I didn't want to look different, so I wore a prosthesis for two years, but I found I could do more without it."

And so, like Long John Silver pacing the decks of his ship, Gernjak uses crutches to move from place to place. His interests no longer include drink and the devil, but rather textbooks and grade point averages.

"Being crippled has made me appreciate life," he said.

"The harder the challenge, the more I want to do it. Life is all about attitude and what you do with it." <

Bronchos pound Bisons UCO improves record to 24-6 after impressive homestand against Harding

By Brandon Bagwell StudentWalfer

T

he Broncho baseball team continued their dominance in the Lone Star Conference last weekend sweeping a four game series from Harding University. The Bronchos' high- powered offense continued its record setting pace with 49 runs and 48 hits over the four games, stretching their season average to 10.9 runs and 12.2 hits per game.

In the first game Friday, junior pitcher Daryl Williamson improved his record to 6-1 on the season as the Bronchos won 13-2. Left hander Dustin Yowell got the win in the second game when the Bronchos pounded Harding 18-3. Two Edmond Memorial products picked up wins in Saturday's doubleheader. Junior Michael Matthews got the win in the first game after going six innings and giving up only three runs as the Bronchos won 10-3.

Matthews boosted his record to 6-lon the year. Jeff Baty, the Lone Star Conference Pitcher of the Year in 1997, threw a complete game to get the win in the final game of the series. Baty's first complete game of the year improved his record to 4-1 as the Bronchos won 81.

UCO coach Wendell Simmons feels that the Bronchos are on pace for another playoff berth this year.

"Our ball club - is right where we want to be at this point in the season," he said. " We just have to go out and improve each series like we have the last two weeks and good things will continue to happen."

The Bronchos are ranked number six in the latest Division II college baseball poll but are expected to move up when this week's poll comes out today.

The Bronchos play next at 3 p.m. today when they host Arkansas Tech.

he state's only publicly funded classical music radio station is based at UCO; however, in order for the station to keep broadcasting, it must rely in part on listener donations, which are acquired through spring and fall fundraisers.

"Our quota is $230,000 per year including underwriting, which are business donations," said Brad Ferguson, KCSC station manager.

The spring fundraiser, which ran from March 26-31 became a success in the final 15 minutes of the drive's completion.

"We are all ecstatic. The thrust of our fundraising occured daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. and kept us extremely busy. Our listeners recognize our efforts, and the quality programming we offer, and responded by donating," said Teresa Brekke, KCSC development director.

"Without the donations, the station would lose its CPB (Corporation for Public

Broadcasting) money, which is around $100,000 per year," said Ferguson.

More than 600 listeners pledged $51,082 by telephone during the drive. The station received $5,000 in mail-in donations prior to the fundraiser.

"Some of the listeners would give the standard $40 donation and others would give $400.

The average donation was around $85," said Ferguson.

"The money is used to operate the radio station, including buying programs and paying salaries," said Ferguson.

UCO to host sneak preview of newest Spike Lee movie

By Lisa Tatum StaffWriter

R

ebounding right off the rim of March Madness, UCO's Auxiliary Enterprises is bringing basketball back into the limelight. But the players of this game will be shooting for an Academy Award rather than an NCAA title.

The University Center Programs and Promotions Office will host a sneak preview screening of director Spike Lee's newest movie He Got Game at 8:30 p.m. April 23 in Constitution Hall.

The event will be free to UCO students with a valid ID. The movie, a story about a high school basketball star, is UCO's first advanced screening of a major motion picture, said Emily Trowbridge, programs and promotions director.

Trowbridge said the advertising company promoting the movie chose UCO when they learned that Constitution Hall had equipment capable of showing 35mm, big screen movies.

In the past, only the University of Oklahoma has hosted college screenings, said Trowbridge.

She said the university is lucky to be chosen for this event.

"It's very difficult to get movie studios to approve college screenings, said Trowbridge.

But Trowbridge said she expects He Got Game to be a big hit with UCO students.

"It's about college athletes and making decisions," she said.

"Things that students can relate to."

She also said the cast of notable actors, as well as director, screenwriter and

New phone laws affect students

ollege students beware. Slamming, the unauthorized change of a customer's telecommunications provider, and cramming, the practice of billing the customers for products and services they didn't order, are on the rise on college campuses.

Ron Beard, director of telephone services at UCO, said that slamming isn't a problem on campus because UCO contracts with MCI to be their long-distance carrier.

"Telephones that are on campus cannot change to another long-distance carrier," said Beard. Students who live off campus do need to be aware of slamming, though.

Of the students talked to, only one said that she had a

problem with cramming.

Cindy Kincaid, a Spanish Education major, said that she was charged for extra services without her knowledge when her telephone was first installed.

"Although Southwestern Bell does not have specific data for college campuses, there has been a significant increase in slamming among the general population," said Jennifer Merritt, a Southwestern Bell spokesperson. In the first three months of 1998, 50,311 cases of alleged slamming have been reported. That is more than all of last year's total, she said.

To avoid being slammed or crammed Merritt offered the following suggestions.

- Read the telephone bill every month, especially the fine print.

- Look for new names, numbers, or unfamiliar

changes.

- Be cautious of telemarketers, contests, and promotional items. Do not sign anything. Your signature may authorize them to make changes without telling you.

A campus cleanup is scheduled for Thursday from 12 to 2 p.m. The Mr. and Ms. UCO Pageant begins at 7 p.m., and the requirement for the Greek members is they must cross dress. One male will be crowned Ms. UCO and one female will be crowned Mr. UCO. The festivities will be wrapped up with the Spring Sing, which involves competition between the various houses in dancing, singing, and skits.

On Friday a performance by a Greek Band alongside Broncho Lake, will be at 12:30 p.m.

Sigma Kappa President Betsey Brown said, "We are trying to make Greek Week the biggest it has ever been because there is a possibility we are going to be able to bring two new sororities to UCO." Vice President of Sigma Kappa, Juliane Chappel, described Greek Week's purpose as, "A time to celebrate being Greek."

Future of healthcare discussed

By Mark Lube StudentWil MP.

U

CO students learned about increased outpatient care and shortened hospital stays and other healthcare concerns Tuesday night at the Troy Smith Lecture Hall in the Business Building.

Gayle McNish, director of nursing science at Rose State College, addressed these concerns in her speech, What Will The Future Bring To Quality In Health Care? to members of the American Society for Quality.

"Americans cannot be without health care and many cannot afford it," said McNish.

McNish talked about the health care of the past that focused on service, had emphasis on trust, and allowed free access to care if insured and limited access, if not insured.

McNish also addressed what could be expected of health care

in the future such as: continued increase in Medicare and Medicaid, more home health care, more coporate-owned clinics and outpatient surgery centers, a shorter time frame for care delivery, with an increased burden being assumed by the family, and an emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention.

Some of the concerns in the future for health care are underserved populations, shifts away from a service orientation, and cost containment measures such as shortened stays and increased outpatient care, said McNish.
