UCO to be state `school of choice' by 2010, says Webb by Jim Epperson III Senior Writer

Roger Webb and Dr. J. Gail Neely speak at a faculty meeting August 12.

President Roger Webb announced his goal Aug. 12 to make UCO the leading state university of choice by the end of the decade. An "incredible transformation" has occurred, Webb told faculty at the annual fall faculty meeting. He said the image of a dusty commuter college where people fight traffic, go to class and leave as fast as they can is gone. "That old image has been swept away by a new Central that is thriving, pulsating and alive," Webb said. Webb used the new

Wellness Center, Wantland Stadium renovations, the 16month-old Jazz Lab and a new logo to serve as proof that UCO is on the move for the better. "People want to identify with something that looks cool," Webb said about the new logo. He said brands and logos bombard students wherever they go. A great brand raises the bar, he said, and it gives people a sense of purpose. "We now have a new Central with great teachers, friendly students, a huge variety of programs and activity for all," Webb said. Webb said he has noticed

more students staying on campus after hours and on the weekends. Students now have more opportunities to be exposed to culture, he said. "More students are being introduced to opera, theater, music theater, dance and jazz," Webb said. Despite large budget cuts in the past two years, administrators assured faculty that UCO is better off. Dr. Don Betz, vice-president for academic affairs, said it is no accident that UCO has changed so much in the past year. "It happened by leadership. It happened by design [of President Webb]," he said.

The parking lot at the UCO Wellness Center was landscaped over the summer break.

Summer projects increase parking by Robert T. Crauthers Staff Writer UCO will have 361 more parking spaces this fall as a result of two projects completed this summer, said Charlie Johnson, UCO News Bureau director. The majority of the extra spaces, which are multi-purpose and available to everyone, are available south of the Wellness Center, he said. "They're not new spaces. It's just that they were previously out of commission during the Wellness Center construction," Johnson said. Fourteen of the additional parking spaces are allotted to students only. These were added during a project that repaired and resurfaced the parking lot

east of the Nigh University Center. The university is now in its second year of a three-year plan to expand and improve its parking capability, said Leon Fourcade, manager of UCO Parking Services, in a press release issued July 24. The 2004 project will include improving the lot on the corner of East Main and Bauman, some of the lots on Ayers Street and possibly the Administration building's parking lot, Fourcade said. The next project, which is scheduled for the 2005 summer, will include repairing the lot west of the Education Building as well as building a new lot north of the Edmond Fire Station, he said.

"It's a flexible plan," Fourcade said. "Not all of the projects may be done. It just depends on the money available and the priorities at the time. A lot can happen to the existing lots in a year or two." The project is being allocated through funds received by the cost of parking permits, he said. During a meeting Aug. 12, UCO President Roger Webb notified faculty members that they would receive a $65 permit refund for their work this past year. "This is not free money," he said. "We have to make this money up from some other source." "The bond holders that pay for the parking lots are going to insist that we've got it. So don't

expect this every year," Webb said. Steve Kreidler, vice president of Finance Administration, said that the project would not be set back by the refunds because the university bought the permits for faculty members this year. Discounted permits are being offered again this year for anyone willing to walk a little further to class, he said. The discounted permits are $12 for the entire school year, and would require parking in the lot east of Wantland stadium. Regular annual permits cost $65, and both can be purchased at the Parking Services counter on the third floor of the Nigh University Center.

UCO's new logo, with the mascot, designed for athletics

New logo helps change school image by Caroline Duke Managing Editor A new UCO logo, representing change, was unveiled to the greater Oklahoma City area in July. Third Degree Advertising of Oklahoma City donated $50,000 of time and resources to design the new logo, said Charlie Johnson, UCO News Bureau director. "Change needs to occur as times change and certainly to reflect the positive change and spirit that's happening here on campus," said Charlie Johnson, director of the UCO News Bureau. The change, he said, reflect academic excellence and athletic spirit. "We wanted to develop an athletic logo and university logo that will hopefully endure for decades," said Roy Page, president of Third Degree and member of the UCO Foundation Board of Directors. "One of the ways [to contribute] is through our time and talents and not just our financial contributions,"

he said. The university's newest recruitment campaign displayed the logo on approximately 50 billboards throughout the greater Oklahoma City area and cost $15,000 to $16,000, Johnson said University Relations used the elements of Third Degree's logo to design the billboards, which were placed by Lamar Outdoor Advertising at the end of July. The logo's design was rearranged by University Relations to fit the billboard. The background color chosen by University Relations made the broncho barely visible, but Lamar soon changed it to make it snore apparent. "For the shape of the billboard, we had to arrange things a little bit," said Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of Univerity Relations. A university logo lasts about 20 years, said Steven Kreidler, vice president of Finance and Administration. The last logo was created in the late 70s or early 80s, he said.

New students stampede UCO by Rachael Tully Staff Writer

Students line up August 13 on the West Hall lawn to receive housing assignments.

Broncho freshmen "stampeded" onto the UCO campus August 14 and 15 for Stampede Week's new student orientation. Stampede Week kicks off the fall semester by introducing students to college life, said Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of Student Services. "It is the single largest program at UCO. It involves the most students, faculty and staff," she said.

Campus tours were directed by 50 student volunteers, said Shai Rasmussen, executive orientation officer. "Stampede Week allows students to get comfortable on campus. They also get to make friends with their classmates," Rasmussen said. Motivational speaker Joe Martin, one of several featured speakers, gave advice to the new students. Martin, a journalism professor from the University of West Florida, spoke on finding life direction in college.

He is author of Tricks of the Trade: Street Smart Strategies for Acing College and speaks at 40 universities and colleges annually. "We use guest speakers to inspire our new students," Gage said. "This week shows students that they can get plugged in and not feel like a number. We have substance here. That is what makes UCO different," Rasmussen said. Activities for Stampede Week continue through Friday, Aug. 22.

UCO 'on the move' and in the right direction Despite two years of huge budget cuts, President Roger Webb has successfully strived to change UCO's image. Webb said "Central" is on the move." An incredible transformation has occurred, and the culture is different, he said. A new Wellness Center, a reconstructed Wantland Stadium and a live jazz lab that has been voted best live venue in the metro are tangible proof of his successes. With the introduction of a new, more contemporary logo, Webb hopes to change the image of the university from a commuter college to the leading university in the coming decade. By 2010, Webb said UCO will be the university of choice in the state. Our administration is more than willing to change UCO

for the better. Webb has urged faculty to wear the new logo and be proud of the school. Now, all UCO is lacking is a determined and enthuriastic student body. The administrators have done their part. Now it is our turn. We must exceed the bar of excellence our leaders has set for us. No longer can we be a lackadaisical student body. The Vista fully supports the administration in their attempts to better the University. Our last issue contained a criticism of the billboards around town. It should be mentioned, though, that it was not a criticism of the new logo. The logo, when well displayed, is very attractive and makes a bold statement. We encourage all of the students to join their voice in the effort to make UCO a university with no peer.

How do you feel about the new UCO logo? "I like it."

While you were away... Broncho kickoff times change July 24, 2003 The UCO football program changed the kickoff times of four upcoming games. The changes were made to avoid a potential conflict of interest for fans by going head-to-head with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State football games. The season kicks off on September 6, when the Bronchos face Mesa State at 1 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. to avoid conflicting with OU's nationally televised contest with Alabama at 6:45. The September 20 Lone Star conference crossover game against West Texas A&M was moved from an afternoon kickoff to a 6 p.m. start. UCO's battle with Abilene Christian on October 11 has been switched to 6 p.m. from 1 p.m. to avoid a probable conflict with the Red River Battle (OU-Texas) in the afternoon. The final home game of the season on November 8 against Northeastern State was moved to 1 p.m. to avoid a conflict with either the OSU-Texas or OU-Texas A&M game.

Freshman return rates increasing July 24, 2003 Despite increased tuition, more freshmen in Oklahoma are staying in school, according to a report from the State Regents for Higher Education. The report says the freshman retention rate in the state for 2001 to 2002 was 91 percent, up from 88.6 percent in 1992 to 1993. Evelyn Wilson-Martin, dean of enrollment management, said the retention rate at UCO has gone up more than 8 percent since 1996. "UCO has done a better job of providing the needs of freshmen," she said.

Parking fees mount July 24, 2003 Auxiliary Enterprises has raised parking fees to build reserves for past and future building projects. The student rates are now $65 for an annual permit (up from $55), $35 for a semester permit (from $30) and $30 for a summer permit (from $22). Charlie Johnson, director of University Relations, said Auxiliary Enterprises is a self-sustaining entity that does not operate within the university budget. Johnson said part of the money they are raising will help pay a bond that was issued to expand the University Center in the mid1990s. Some of the money goes to parking lot refurbishing.

Terry Nelson takes over as Assistant Athletic Director July 24, 2003 Terry Nelson was named the assistant athletic director for marketing and promotions at the University of Central Oklahoma July 15. Bill Farley, the new athletic director at UCO, selected Nelson to manage all strategic areas of marketing and promotions for the athletic department, including the development of corporate sponsorship packages and game-day promotions. Nelson is originally from Choctaw and graduated from the University of Oklahoma. He worked at OU in the Athletic Promotions, Marketing and Development department from 1990 to 1995.

New law puts out smokers, or at least 25 feet away July 17, 2003 Smoking in front of entrances and exits to campus buildings will be prohibited beginning Sept 1.

State property is almost essentially a tobacco-free area, said Don Powers, director of Quality Assurance and Safety Management. "Smoking can occur only in designated areas, and the designated areas are outside the building, 25 feet away from the entries and exits," Powers said Powers said decals will be placed on the major entrances and exits on UCO buildings before the fall semester begins.

Fall enrollment climbing despite increasing costs July 10, 2003 Despite the decrease in student enrollment this summer, UCO will see a 3.8 percent increase in the student population in the fall, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for Enrollment Management. Fall enrollment is at 11,977, as of July 7, up from 11,542 this time last year. A number of factors have contributed to the increase, Legere said. Despite a 4 percent increase of students needing housing, UCO should be able to cope with the situation, said Jasmine Herd, a front desk clerk in the housing department. Summer enrollment was down 284 from last year at this time, Legere said.

Tuition jumps July 10, 2003 The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education raised tuition for universities June 30 to offset declines in state funding and increases in school expenditures. The tuition increases will begin in the fall semester, with UCO's jumping 18.8 percent. Harve Allen, media relations director for the regents, said a combination of factors forced them to raise tuition. "Students were paying one-third of the cost [of education] while taxpayers had to foot the rest of the bill," he said. He added that enrollment increases and mandatory increases in teacher's health insurance raised the cost of education. State appropriations to universities were reduced 3.8 percent due to revenue shortfalls. Despite the higher tuition, the regents project a 3.2 percent increase in enrollment. They say appropriations will level off while enrollment goes up, leaving less money available for each student. Universities have added more tuition waivers since the tuition hike "to make sure students aren't priced out of the market," Allen said. Oklahoma institutions have increased waivers by $11 million, but students will probably have to rely more on student loans, he said. The average state increase for a 30-hour undergraduate year will be $430. International students at UCO, already paying a higher rate than Oklahoma residents, will have to pay $274.95 per undergraduate hour compared to $99.95 for in-state residents. Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of international student services, said it will take at least a semester to see if international student enrollment drops. "Some parents have expressed concern, but I'm not aware of any bail out," Paddack said. He said many students save money on their own in their native countries to pay for school here. In order to raise the tuition, the regents removed a tuition increase cap that had been in place for two years. It was designed to keep tuition from going up more than 9 percent a year. Now universities are required to keep their tuition below the lowest of the regional average. Allen said UCO fees are 15 percent below the regional average. Even with the extra $82.2 million expected from tuition increases, the state will be short of funds for higher education.

UCO cuts 14 jobs in physical plant deal July 03, 2003 Fourteen jobs in the university Physical Plant were cut July 1 as a result of the university's recent contract with Johnson Controls Inc. With the contract, the university will outsource all heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) operations, saving the university $200,000 a year, said Steven Kreidler, vice president of Administration. He said the entire HVAC division of the Physical Plant was eliminated, including the jobs of supervisors and other personnel.

UCO logo to get facelift July 03, 2003 A new UCO logo, said to signify a changing UCO by President Roger Webb, was unveiled in July. "New logo, new UCO," Webb said. He said UCO has always been known as a teacher and commuter school. "We're transforming from a drive-thru college to one where the

campus is a place for learning and study but also a place for entertainment and activities," Webb said. For the past two years, Webb has worked on the "branding or imaging of the campus," he said. "That image is a place where there is a great tradition for quality learning and, also, an image that people think of as beautiful," Webb said. "I believe that UCO will very soon reach the tipping point that will result in a huge groundswell of student interest," he said. With the Wellness Center, Jazz Lab and the renovated football stadium, UCO is on its way to being a place of community, he said.

Supreme Court upholds affirmative action 5-4 June 26, 2003 The United States Supreme Court upheld the affirmative action order June 19 but rejected the use of a point system in university admissions. The Court approved affirmative action by a 5-4 vote. Affirmative action is an Executive Order signed by President Kennedy in 1961 that required government contractors to create employment practices that are free from racial discrimination. Since then, other industries and institutions have used the practice to diversify their working and educational environment. Dr. John M. Garic, associate dean of the Jackson College of Graduate Studies and Research, said the Court approved using race as an admissions factor because, "The government has a compelling interest in having a racially diverse student population." "Affirmative action began in order to right the wrongs of segregation from long ago," he said. The justices, by a 6-3 vote, struck down an admissions point formula used by the University of Michigan that favored minorities. Minority students were awarded an extra 20 points on their entrance applications to the university. Other factors such as athletic ability, standardized tests and musical talent were also a part of the formula. A 100-point total guaranteed admission. Garic said the decision would lessen the impact of race on admissions. The UCO admission program follows the guidelines established by the State Regents, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for Enrollment Management. Students have three ways to get accepted: >An ACT composite score of at least 20 >A class rank in the top 50 percent of their high school along with a 2 7 G PA >A 2.7 G.P.A. in high school core classes If an applicant is not admitted, Legere said a first-time freshman could appeal for alternate admission. With alternate admission, the student writes a letter telling why they should be accepted and submits a list of credentials. A committee decides whether or not to accept the applicant. Legere said race does not need to be a consideration in UCO admissions. "Twenty-nine percent of our student body is of an ethnic background other than Caucasian," Legere said. Garic said it is appropriate that the issue of affirmative action is revisited.

Officials refinance bonds to salvage programs June 22, 2003 Vice President for Administration and Finance Steven Kreidler recently announced the administration has found new ways to keep from losing programs due to those cuts. Kreidler said money was most recently conserved when the university completed work to refinance three major bonds. Each refinanced bond will save the university $9.8 million throughout the next 20 years, Two of the three bonds were issued for a 30-year term in 1993 and the other for 25 years. One was used to build an addition to the library, another to expand the Nigh University Center and improve campus parking, and a third for general capitol improvements, Kreidler said. All three were refinanced to the end of their original terms. By refinancing the bonds, Kreidler said UCO would save approximately $60,000 a year on the general bond, about $120,000 a year on the library bond and about $320,000 a year on the University Center and parking lot bond. UCO has also cut costs by entering into a performance contract to solve heating and air conditioning problems, renegotiating utility rates, reducing overtime, travel and operating costs, and cutting administration costs.

Brady is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. He recently played for the Dallas Cowboys. He led the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL in receiving touchdowns as tight end and came on UCO as a coach in April. Brady is currently out on bond.

Education bill aids military personnel August 13,2003 The U.S. Senate recently approved a measure that would provide assistance for military personnel who put their postsecondary education on hold during a time of war. Many U.S. military reservists are college and university students receiving federal financial aid. The Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003 (HEROES) would protect these servicemen and women from student loan obligations while they are on active duty. The HEROES bill also adjusts reapplication requirements, making it easier for military personnel to continue their education when they return home. Additionally, the bill asks postsecondary institutions to provide tuition refunds for the period students were not able to complete because of their service overseas. The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the bill earlier this year.

Housing office relocates to old Health New financial aid formula in effect August 13, 2003 Center A new formula to determine Pell Grant eligibility could cause thousands July 10, 2003 The UCO Housing Depart-ment moved to the old Student Health Center in July, said Thomas Hulm, director of housing. The building will have six offices and a lobby or waiting area for students, Hulm said. Students will still pay housing bills at the Bursar's Office, Hulm said, but all other business will be done in the new facility. He said the offices will provide a closer presence for student who live on campus. "We will be in a central part of the campus where our customers are," he said.

Former OU coach Joe Dickinson hired as wide receivers coach July 03, 2003 On June 24, the University of Central Oklahoma named Joe Dickinson as wide receivers coach. A former assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma, Dickinson brings 14 years of Division I experience to the Broncho football program. He replaced Ricky Brady who resigned from his assistant position on June 5.

Coach arrested for indecent exposure June 12, 2003 Rick Brady, UCO football coach, was arrested June 4 in Oklahoma City on indecent exposure charges. According to the police report, a woman phoned police after Brady came to her apartment door and began masturbating. He was arrested around 2 a.m. at 9125 S. Shartel and taken to the Oklahoma County jail. The woman said she did not know Brady before the incident. "I don't want to talk about it," she said. UCO spokesman Charlie Johnson said Brady has been suspended without pay, pending the investigation. According to a police report, the woman came home and then noticed a red truck making a U-turn in the apartment complex parking lot. Thinking it was routine, she went inside, the report said. Minutes later, Brady knocked on her door and asked if Jamie lived in the apartment. The woman said Jamie did not live there. Brady said. Jamie must have given him the wrong apartment number and asked to use the phone. As Brady stood in the foyer in front of the woman's door, he exposed himself and asked the woman to watch. She closed the door on him and called the police. A police helicopter followed Brady when he left the apartment complex in the truck, and he was arrested shortly after.

of students to lose federal aid, said Bryce Frair, vice chancellor for the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education. The $11 billion budget for the grant will see a $270 million cut. Up to 84,000 students nationally and 1,200 students statewide could lose their grants when new regulations go into effect for the 2004-2005 school year, Frair said. â&#x20AC;˘ If financial aid is cut further, these numbers could increase, he said. "The formula apparently decreases the amount that can be deducted for family income. More income will be counted toward college," Frair said. Sheila Fugett, director of the UCO Financial Aid Office, said she is not sure how the new formula will affect the 3,421 students who received the Pell Grant during the 2002-2003 school year. "It's going to be tough," she said. Many students use the Pell Grant, the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant and student loans to pay all college expenses, Fugett said. The Pell Grant is the federal government's largest source of college aid, and losing it will cause more students to use student loans to pay off expenses, she said.

Wantland's first phase to be complete by August July 10, 2003 A laser-guided bulldozer graded a 1/2 percent slope on the surface of Wantland Stadium, said UCO Director of Architectural and Engineer Services David Stapleton. If the weather remains dry then the contract completion date of Aug. 1 for Wantland will be met, Stapleton said. 'At the moment we are close to being on time," he said. Stapleton said progress on the field delayed because of consistent rain problems earlier in the summer. Director of the UCO News Bureau Charlie Johnson said a student fee passed by the student body is paying for the first phase of the project. The fee raised money for stadium lights, a brick wall and turf. Stapleton said the light fixtures are up and the field is at final grade. Next the four-foot brick "field wall" must be completed on the east, south and west sides of the stadium, he said. Johnson said the second phase of completing Wantland Stadium will take much longer. Right now UCO is competing with other cities to bring a Major League Soccer team to Edmond. If a team does come here, Johnson said, then they will pay for new stadium seating. If the team does not come here then UCO and Edmond public schools will team up to renovate the seats, he said. UCO President Roger Webb said a final decision on MLS could be made by October.

Library may lose space to offices June 22, 2003 Library administrators reported recently that the UCO administra-

tion is considering building offices in the library for the College of Education in the coming months. Among library employees, rumor has it that the offices will be built on the first floor of the library where the snack bar and study areas are. Rumors also suggest that the entire south side of the third floor will become official offices for the college. Books could be moved to the north side of the library and be placed in compressed bookshelves. This would mean that no one would be able to browse the shelves for F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories, Plato's 'Allegory of the Cave," Shakespeare's sonnets or books about Monet. Instead, students and faculty would move hundreds of books on light rolling bookshelves to find exactly what they want. Steve Kreidler, UCO vice president of administration and finance, said approximately 70 temporary College of Education offices are in the library right now These offices would become permanent, he said. Kreidler said the faculty in the library came from Old North after it was deemed unsafe. He said it is cheaper than renovating Old North. "Our problem is that it is going to cost $4 to $5 million to repair, whereas for a few thousand dollars we can make offices," Kreidler said. Kreidler also said the Oklahoma School for the Deaf would be moved into the library from the annex of the President's Old House on the east side of campus. "It's not going to take up a lot of the library," Kreidler said.

Soccer, Volleyball teams are voted LSC North favorites July 03, 2003 With the fall sports season rapidly approaching, the University of Central Oklahoma is well represented in the Lone Star Conference's preseason polls. The defending LSC North champion women's soccer team is expected to capture the title again in 2003 according to the poll released by the conference office. UCO earned 14 of 24 first-place votes edging rival West Texas A&M for the honor. Senior Valerie Gutierrez was named the favorite to win the "Player of the Year" award after a junior season during which she earning All-LSC North honors for the second consecutive season. The Westmoore graduate scored 13 goals combined with eight assists to help the Bronchos to their second league title in the past three seasons. Stacey Meek leads the Volleyball team which is favored to win the LSC North undercoach Jeff Boyland. The Bronchos soccer team opens at Northwestern Oklahoma on September 2. The volleyball team, lead by Head Coach Jeff Boyland, is favored to defend its two consecutive LSC North championships with another title in 2003. After a 30-8 season last year, seven letter winners return for Boyland's first season as head coach. Boyland takes over for veteran coach Mark Herrin. Leading the Bronchos will be setter Stacey Meek and middle blocker Tori Walker. Both players return as All-LSC North selections. The Bronchos begin their season August 30 against Missouri Southern. The football squad is expected to finish second in the LSC North behind defending champion Tarleton State. The Bronchos, who earned three first place votes, are led by first-year coach Chuck Langston. UCO returns 14 starters from last season's 5-6 team. A stellar recruiting class will be joining the returnees, including Oklahoma State transfer Aso Pogi as well as eight players from Langston's former school Trinity Valley Community College. Senior wide receiver Dee Dee Carter was selected the preseason LSC North player of the year. The 6'1", 186-pound speedster, is a two-time LSC North Division Receiver of the Year and a first team All-West Region selection. Carter caught 49 passes for 1,093 yards and five touchdowns in 2002 for his second straight 1,000 yard season. Entering his final campaign, Carter already owns school records for receptions (130) and yards (2,684) in a career. UCO opens the season at Wantland Staduim against Mesa State on September 6 at 7 p.m.

And the walls came tumbling down. After four months of standing in partial ruins, the final phase of demolition on East Hall began Aug. 12. Rumors have been floating around campus of more parking, housing or classrooms to be built on the site. Portions of East Hall were demolished last spring for a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) training exercise.

International enrollment not affected by new laws by Rick Russick Staff Writer International enrollment remains high despite national security restrictions and the past threat of SARS, according to UCO's International Student Services Office. "Currently there are no restrictions for prospective SRIdents seeking visas for 2004," said Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of International Student Services.

"However, students from countries such as Taiwan, China and Vietnam have had to postpone their visas because of the SARS scare," he said. "As a result, many students will have to wait until the spring semester to enroll." Paddack said the major concern for international students is the shortage of housing on campus. "Currently there is a long waiting list for housing, and approximately 50 to 60 stu-

dents are staying at the Ramada Inn," he said. "This definitely needs to change." In January, a government program designed to track visitors and combat potential terrorists, was implemented, causing international students and UCO officials some concern. The program, the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS), imposed by the and Immigration

Library offers training for new online catalog by Robert T. Crauthers Staff Writer A new online search catalog replaced the 20-year-old "Broncho" computer system this summer at Max Chambers Library. The new catalog allows people to search the library's database of books and articles for item availability.

"It also gives access to other state catalogs and more than 40,000 libraries worldwide," said Deborah Thompson, instructional coordinator for the catalog. The library has been moving towards the change for quite some time, she said. The catalog offers a broad range of capabilities for a more detailed search. Language,

dates, library floor, author, title and keywords are just a few search options, Thompson said. "Instructional classes are available to those who need them," she said. Instructions on operating the catalog are available at varied times, but help is offered at the reference desk anytime the library is open.

Teaching program enrollment still high despite budget woes by Rick Russick Staff Writer Enrollment in the UCO College of Education remains high despite state budget constraints and low teacher salary. "Teacher education is at capacity with 120 student teachers reporting to school this semester," said Dr. Judith Coe, UCO dean of Education. "Oklahoma teachers are still being hired. So far, things are looking good," she said. However, the number of certified teachers throughout the state is declining, and the state Education Department website reports an almost onethird decrease in the number of teaching certificates and licenses issued since 1995. The University of Oklahoma also reports high teacher education enrollment this semester.

"Enrollment at OU's education college also remains steady despite the decline in statewide teacher certifications. However many teacher graduates leave the state," said Dr. Christine Ormsbee, associate dean of Educational Psychology at OU. "One of the many problems is that teachers put in very long hours for their efforts," Ormsbee said. "A teacher's job is not nine to five, like many people think. Often teachers must remain after school, preparing for the following day and must go to many after-school programs and activities. Teachers may find themselves working 12hour-long days. This doesn't include year-round programs teachers must attend," she said. "Since teachers are paid a monthly salary and not hourly, teachers could almost make more money at Wal-Mart,"

said Ormsbee. Oklahoma is ranked 48th lowest in teacher salary, according to the State Department website. "Students remain optimistic, and many will look for jobs in Oklahoma. If they have the mobility, going out of state will definitely be an advantage," Coe said. "Unfortunately, Texas needs teachers, and they are willing to pay more for them. $35,000 is. the beginning salary — about $8,000 more than Oklahoma," she said. "We simply have to start paying our teachers as professionals. There simply is no excuse for anything less," Ormsbee said. "Oklahoma prepares the best teachers in the country, and if we are not careful, they will lose them all to states like Texas," she said.

Candidates speak at OSU By RON JENKINS Associated Press Writer STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) Democratic presidential hopefuls brought their pitches and their criticism of the Bush administration Tuesday to a state virtually ignored in past races. Six of the nine candidates traveled to Oklahoma State University where they spoke in a forum on health care, the economy and how they would have handled the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks. "I say this is the time for the United States to admit it made a mistake in attacking Iraq," said Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who favors re-engaging the United Nations and the world community "My plan is to get the UN in and get the U.S. out." Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman separated himself from other speakers on the issue by saying some of his opponents "run the risk of sending a message that

they don't know a just war when they see one." Lieberman drew some boos for that remark and responded by saying that was proof he would be a strong president who would do what is right for America. Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt's criticism of Bush's economic policies drew loud applause. He said he worked with President Clinton to produce an economy that created 22 million jobs and turned a huge national deficit into a huge surplus "and in 24 months this president has messed it all up." Gephardt also said Bush had trouble working with other world leaders and that was complicating the rebuilding of Iraq. He said he thought Bush "got an F" on his grade school report card under the notation: "works well with others." Former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun said Bush's approach has "frittered away all the good will we had" and said she

wants U.S. troops out of Iraq. But "we have a moral obligation to at least put that country back in shape," she said. "We can't just leave, having blown them up." North Carolina Sen. John Edwards said his small town roots and values were needed in the White House. "I still believe in an America where the son of a mill worker can beat the son of a president," he said. He said Bush had failed in foreign policy by not cultivating allies. A president, Edwards said, should "lead in a way that generates respect for America." Edwards was asked if the Bush tax cuts had spurred the economy. He suggested that the president "come to the Wrangler plant here in Oklahoma and explain to the people who are about to lose their jobs that he sparked the economy."

Wantland stadium should be finished before the first Edmond North football game Sept. 4, said David Stapleton, director of Architecture and Engineering Services. The Bronchos play Mesa State Sept. 6 in the new stadium. Anxiety among some football players and coaches is that the stadium will not be finished. Stapleton said laying the turf will complete phase one of Wantland Stadium. UCO students voted to pay for the first phase of the renovations last Spring semester.

New players, new stadium, new jerseys, new team UCO's football team anticipates a successful season. by Jim Epperson III Senior Writer With new coaches, the renovation of Wantland Stadium and new Nike uniforms, expectations seem high for this year's Broncho football team. With two-a-days behind them, Head Football Coach Chuck Langston said his team

will be ready for their first game Sept. 6. "We just need to win now," he said. Anthony Byrd, safety, said the new jerseys, the renovated stadium and the new logo represent their new team and new program. Byrd said the team will definitely be ready for their first game. "I just hope the stadium is finished," he said.

Dwight Devaughn, cornerback, said the team is practicing hard on both sides of the ball, and a couple of freshmen are stepping up. "Overall, the team is going to be ready. We've just got to have a lot of support," Devaughn said. Langston said he has been speaking to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and at local churches to get people excited

about UCO football. He said he hopes to get more students and faculty to come to the games. "We're expecting a big crowd," he said. Langston said he is excited about the team's attitude. The players display the commitment it takes to be a college football player, he said. "I think we have something special."
