Students make move into University Commons apartments

By Celie Rabalais

stantriter

U

CO students started moving into the new University Commons Apartments, August 20.

"It's an exciting time at UCO because we have more residential students then ever before," said Todd Duncan, director of campus residential life. "(The) Residential Life staff is eagerly awaiting the arrival of students. We're ready to build communities in residence halls," Duncan said.

The newly constructed 384bed apartment-style residence is leased to capacity for the 19992000 school year and has a waiting list with approximately 100 names.

In mid-July, the $15 million apartment complex was opened to all level students and

apartment rents were reconstructed because of low occupancy, said Keith Weber, research assistant for the president.

The 144 units were originally only open to second year or higher students with a GPA of 2.0.

The decision to open the apartments to all students was a financial decision regarding the contract with Capstone Development, Weber said.

Under the new rental policy, students can now sign four, nine or 12 month leases.

Contracts for nine and 12 month leases will decrease students individual rent $46.39 a month on two-bedroom apartments and $40.28 on a fourbedroom apartment.

Security deposits were also lowered to $100.00 from the original cost of one month's rent.

Under the adjusted rental

plans, breaks between semesters will be covered if a student signs a 9 month lease, Weber said.

This was not included in the original rental proposal.

Students who signed early leases will have the difference in the adjusted rent and security deposits credited to their first month's rent.

The University Commons are furnished apartments, including washer, dryers and microwaves.

The complex also has a clubhouse that has a mini computer lab. Security includes a direct link to UCO's Department of Public Safety.

Students interested in obtaining more information on the University Commons may call the Department of Residence —Photo by Shauna Hardway Life at 947-4000.

Guest supplies, new schedules, and disoriented freshman — the back-to-school season has arrived.

To help students adjust to college life and introduce newcomers to campus activities, UCO held the first "Stampede Week" last year.

This year, Stampede Week began Aug. 20 and continued through the weekend with parent and student seminars. The event is scheduled through Friday.

The purpose of Stampede Week is "to make the students feel welcome and more at home," said Sherri Bryant, a Stampede Week volunteer.

Participating parents in this weekend's activities were also adjusting to the idea of college life, and were comforted by the

N

ew

pains the university took to ease the transition for both students and parents.

"I can sense the commitment of the faculty and administration to the welfare of the students, and their social as well as academic development," said Doug Strickland, the father of a freshman physics major.

Volunteer Geoffrey Gandy said the university was prepared to serve 600 lunches to the herd of parents and students.

After the weekend festivities, Stampede Week continued with scheduled organization and job fairs, in which more than 50 area businesses were slated to participate.

The week winds down with a block party for all UCO students from 7 to 11 p.m,. Friday.

For more information about student activities, call the UCO Student Services at 794-2364. •4(

Moving Day...

Continued from page 2 ranged in price from $1,287.73 to 1,445.14 per semester.

Many Murdaugh residents were not impresssed with the offer. And on July 29, nearly 100 of them marched the perimeter of UCO in protest.

The students were determined to capture the attention of an administration, that they claimed, was ignoring the sweltering living conditions in Murdaugh Hall.

Marchers waved picket signs and chanted in unison phrases like, "No air, no fair!"

Terence White, senior philosophy major, organized the march He said that Murdaugh representatives asked the administration for a full, summer refund, but the administration declined the request and refused to negotiate further.

However, Wiseman said that such a conversation never occurred and could not explain

On August 20, many UCO students began moving into the newly constructed University Commons aoartment complex.

The apartments contain a total of 384 beds and are leased to capacity through the 2000 school year.

The current waiting list is about 100 students long.

White's recollection of the meeting.

"I got the sense that everyone at the meeting was communicating well," Wiseman said.

Regardless, the effect of the march had little impact on the administration's decision to repair, or not repair the Murdaugh air conditioning system.

"The march had no impact.

We don't pay attention to things like that. As far as I was concerned, it was just a bunch of kids walking around on a Thursday night," Wiseman said.

Although the administration has no intention of replacing the air conditioning system in the near future, they have made changes.

"From now on, Murdaugh will be defined as a non-air conditioned building," Duncan said.

Alternative newspaper...

OU students plan newspaper distribution on UCO campus

By Celie Rabalais

Stair

B

eginning this fall, UCO, Oklahoma State University and Oklahoma City University students will have an alternative newspaper available to them, according to an article appearing in The Daily Oklahoman.

The Fountainhead, a . •"'

I don't consider this competition.

Dr. Terry Clark Journalism Chairperson MUMWAK:'-

conservative newspaper, cofounded and co-edited by Kyle Harper and Brad Watson, University of Oklahoma students, is expanding its circulation to these new campuses, the Oklahoman reported.

Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of student affairs, was not aware of Harper and Watson's plan to distribute The Fountainhead on UCO's campus.

However, she said there are no guidelines for the circulation of outside publications on the campus.

Publications or postings from UCO students must meet specific requirements and be approved by the Office of Student Activities before distribution.

Harper and Watson were dissatisfied with the OU's paper,

The Oklahoma Daily, lack of diverse viewpoints, the Oklahoman reported.

They found an organization on the Internet that helped students start up a campus paper and decided to start their own, the article stated. After receiving a one-time grant from the university, The Fountainhead published its first issue on January 27, 1999.

It isn't unusual to find more than one campus paper in other states, said Harper in his interview with the Oklahoman.

Universities such as The University of Virginia have about 20 student papers, he said.

The Fountainhead has already won two journalism awards presented by the Leadership Institute located in Arlington, Virginia.

The award money will help fund the publication Harper told the Oklahoman.

Harper told the Oklahoman he doesn't feel his paper is a direct competition for the other campus papers. The Fountainhead provides a different viewpoint in an intelligent, entertaining way Harper said.

Dr. Terry Clark, professor and chairperson of the journalism department, doesn't see the j9alternative paper as a competition to UCO's newspaper.

"I don't consider this competition," Clark said "It probably won't last."

Attempts to reach Harper or Watson for comments were unsuccessful The Fountainhead is published

We bring the students more of a commentary rather than a report.

Kyle Harper co-publisher, The Fountainhead every other week according to Harper's interview.

"We bring the students more of a commentary rather than a report. We try to have an element of humor and entertainment in our paper."

"There were three generations of computers in the lab," said James Barrow, microcomputer lab supervisor.

Twenty-seven new Compaq Pentium II 400 computers were added to the lab.

UCO professor, students give creative touch to state capitol

By Robyn Lydick

StaffWriter he high ceilings of the State House of Representatives' chamber are starkly white with primer. White dust and building debris cover the floor. Colorless light floods in through dusty windows.

The smell of latex paint is heavy in the air.

In a plastic-draped corner, UCO Associate Professor of Visual Art and Design Bob Palmer stretches from a scaffold to a plaster decoration on the ceiling. He holds a paintbrush in one hand and silver paint can in the other.

"We will eventually have all those scaffolds full of students and state employees," Palmer said, gesturing out into the whiteness beyond.

Palmer and some of his students have been hired by TNT Staffing to paint the molding details on the chamber ceiling and walls. The Department of Human Services is overseeing the state employees on the renovation project.

"We are supposed to finish in

November or December," Palmer said.

"It's hard to judge (when the project will be finished). It depends on how many people they hire."

Palmer and graphic design senior Chris Wood are finishing a corner for Speaker of the House Loyd Benson to inspect and approve. Benson will make the final decision on how the colors look after the painting is finished in the corner, said general foreman Gary Hoppis.

The colorS were selected by the project architects, Hoppis said.

"Bob helped (the architects) select the colors. He has been a great help," Hoppis said.

Palmer said he was given leeway with color usage.

"D.H.S. gave me the palette, but we have actually made the decision about where colors go," Palmer said.

"We have been allowed to use our own discretion."

Reviewer says it makes sense to see 'Sixth Sense'

By Julie Jordan

StallWriter rowing up is hard.

Metal wire braces, awkward first dances and constant reminders to mom to stop calling you honey.

But constantly seeing bloody, battered ghosts that don't realize they have died? This would be enough to push any kid over the edge.

So, it is no wonder that after a lifetime 'of these eerie encounters 8year-old Cole Sear, played by Haley Joel Osment, is seeing a child psychiatrist.

The movie is "The Sixth

G

Sense," and Bruce Willis is Dr. Malcolm Crowe. It is his job to get to the bottom of what Cole's mom describes as moody and withdrawn behavior.

Cole won't confide his dark secret to anyone, not even his mother who is all too aware there is something not quite right about her son.

Dr. Crowe goes through the u s u a 1 explanations: His parents are divorced, the kids at school pick on him, his dad abandoned him.

But just as Crowe is about to give up on Cole, Cole lets him in on his secret. Crowe is, of course, skeptical at first, but soon

realizes Cole is telling the truth.

It is at this point, about 30 or 40 minutes into the movie, that "The Sixth Sense" takes off.

So, if you've eaten all your Starbursts and popped the last piece of buttered popcorn in your mouth and you're still not entertained, just be patient.

"The Sixth Sense" is not nonstop action and suspense, but once it gets going, it is well worth the wait.

"The Sixth Sense" is not a horror movie, but it is

extremely creepy. This is one of those movies that gets under your skin, and the images stick in your head for days.

One last disclaimer before you run to the theater and hand over your six bucks: if you are afraid of the dark, if the hairs on your neck raise up when you

are alone, or if you run to the bathroom and immediately flip on the lights in the middle of the night, I would definitely think twice about going to see this movie.

Making his concert debut at the age of nine, Kuleshov attended the Moscow Central Music School for exceptionally gifted children. He has performed in the United States, Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and Japan.

hen construction on the University Commons apartments began, many people here were skeptical.

For many years, UCO has been a university composed largely of non-traditional students. The idea of an adminiatration promoting a venture designed to attract traditional-aged students did not set well with some student and campus organizations, including The Vista in a recent editorial.

Some students were incensed that hundreds of parking spaces were destroyed to make room for the apartments.

They feared this would make parking an increasingly difficult task.

Others feared that response to the apartments would be minimal at best, leaving the administration with hundreds of empty rooms. But the apartments are not only full, there is a waiting list of about 100 pepole interested in renting rooms.

And though the number of parking spaces has been reduced, the adminstration has implemented a shuttle system to transport students around campus. But many students still complain that there are an insuficient number of parking spaces. Yet parking at UCO is far superior to many other Oklahoma colleges, such as Oklahoma City University.

The administration is far from perfect and will continue to make mistakes. But with such ventures as the University Commons, they are attempting to integrate a diverse population of people into UCO. And that can only benefit everyone.

AZAK

AUGUST 26, 1999

ELCOME BACK TO UCO. And for the freshman class, WELCOME to UCO. I hope that everyone found their classes and actually got out of bed to attend them. What a wonderful time to be at UCO. We are going through so many changes and all you have to do is look around to see them.

The first week probably has a lot of us wondering which way to go. There is so much going on. Stampede Week has our campus flooded with activities and information. Prepare yourself to watch UCO athletics win more conference titles and maybe a national title or two.

Congratulations to all the sororities on having a wonderful rush. Men, Fraternity rush is just around the corner, so check it out. And 4^, make sure you check out our theatre, musical, and band productions. I guess what I'm saying is support UCO. There is such a great UCOSA President opportunity for all of us to make this the best year ever.

The UCOSA student association is there to help make this possible. Whatever questions, concerns, problems that occur, contact us. Our office is on the 4th floor of the University Center, room 422. Call us at 974-2249. If you have ideas and a little extra time become a UCO representative or senator. Meetings are at 1 p.m. on Mondays in Room 300 & 301 in the University Center.

I know there are a lot of issues coming up; parking, computer labs, parking, library usage, parking, etc. I hope everyone's first week is going great and I wish everyone the best of luck in their education.

Webb exterids challenge to build

By Farzana Razak

Sectionfilitor

4 4 ere we go again," UCO President Roger Webb quoted r. Kent Kidwell at the last faculty and staff meeting of the century Aug. 16 at Constitution Hall in the University Center.

He welcomed UCO's new and returning faculty and staff and noted that there are new projects that developed over the summer.

He said the construction on the photography darkroom in the Communications Building is underway, the Department of Curriculum and Instruction received new office space, and the new Commons apartments were completed.

"The apartments are ready to open and furniture will be delivered this week," Webb said.

With all the rooms full in the resident halls, Webb said there will be more students living on campus than ever before.

He also said that there were more people attending conferences and meetings at UCO this summer.

Webb also recognized Dr. J. Gail Neely, a 1962 alumnus, who established the Excellence of Teaching Award which honors teaching

excellence and provides incentive to faculty.

"This award is to encourage the continuation of great teaching at UCO," Webb said.

The first recipient, Dr. Cheryl Frech, associate professor of chemistry, was awarded $1,000.

The UCO Foundation, AMBUCS and Phi Sigma awarded $250 to Dr. James Watson, professor of visual arts and design, for his inspiration to students.

Two years ago, when Webb began his reign at UCO, he set several goals for the development of the campus.

He said there had to be more attention to the academic side of education. He wanted to strengthen academic leadership, increase the number of faculty and staff, UCO's direction, capabilities and academic programs.

Since then, UCO has introduced its first academic program, a Masters in Forensic Science.

"There are now more new faculty positions and more part-time and adjunct positions were converted to full-time positions," he said.

Student life, Webb said, is "an absolute necessary component to build an active campus?'

He said that student services needed to be reorganized and recruitment efforts should

UCO's fraternities include: Acacia Alpha Tau Omega Kappa Sigma Sigma Nu Sigma Tau Gamma Tau Kappa Epsilon

What is RUSH? Rush is best explained as an open house. During this three-week period you are invited to visit all the fraternity houses on campus.

This is the easiest way to meet new friends and experience wonderful opportunities.

-.Page 4 The recruitment program would aid in increasing the dramatic decline in enrollment in the past.

Continued from Page 3 Since 1994, UCO has had a loss of identify with students. He said UCO 2,100 students. To address that, Webb needed to create a fusion of student introduced the Prospective Student activities , like Stampede Week and Services which helps recruit students student orientations. from every school in the state.

AUGUST 26, 1999 As a result, this year, UCO has the largest freshman class ever, and approximately 1,800 of those freshmen are first-time UCO students.

Development at UCO wouldn't be possible without an improvement in technology access. A new $1.2 million telephone system was

introduced in Spring 1998. And $500,000 was spent to purchase computers for faculty, staff and student labs.

Webb also emphasized the importance of improving campus communication.

"UCO should build an atmosphere

of trust and people should get out of their offices and listen," he said.

Also, UCO's process of planning ideas needed direction.

"UCO didn't have a strategic plan," Webb said.

For 18 months, approximately 400 people participated in strategic planning.

He also said he wanted to ease the university's $600,000 debt. That amount is expected to retire in 2019.

As part of development and alumni, Webb said, "To be a first-class university, we had to establish a Development and Alumni office to bring people back to campus and get their support."

Webb also said that the building of an infrastructure, recruitment of faculty and staff, and the establishment of endowments and scholarships are essential for UCO to be a viable and competitive university.

"Everyone is a leader and everyone has a responsibility for leadership," he said.

Upon achieving these goals, UCO now has to look into the future.In building a university, there is an array of areas that must be addressed, he said.

"Look at the vision and the mission," Webb said.

He said there is a positive upbeat despite there being no salary increases for faculty and staff.

Instead of salary raises, the money will be used to fund the salaries of new faculty and staff positions.

"The money was not there," Webb said.

He said UCO has $1.3 million, contingent on enrollment increases, from legislators and the State Regents and 7 percent tuition increase.

UCO needs good budgeting to be competitive in order to increase student enrollment and retain students.

Lastly, he urged everyone to build community, character and civility. The role of a 21st century university is to know how to deal with diversity and conflicts.

"I challenge each college and department to determine what role you have in building a community, character and civility."

UCO can base its future on "high touch, if not high tech," he said.

He explained high touch as "unexpected and unrewarded acts of human kindness. It's the opportunity to make- lives better."

"UCO at the millennium is in transition, growing, with more opportunities to be the premier undergraduate college in the country."

FINANCIAL Continued from Page 9 guaranteed, you will receive a notice of guarantee indicating the expected date of disbursement.

These funds could be released to you beginning the first day of classes if the disbursement date indicated on that notice allows loan funds to be disbursed to UCO prior to the first day of classes.

If you authorize your lender to do so, and they have the capability, your loan funds will be sent to us via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Funds in excess of direct University charges will generally be available on the Monday following your disbursement date. If your lender cannot accommodate the EFT process, they will mail a check to the university for you.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT RWSP) Federal Workstudy funds are earned as a result of securing a Federal Work-Study job; therefore these funds may not be used as credit for tuition/fees, housing, or bookstore charges.

If you were awarded Federal Workstudy you will need to proceed to the Human Resources Office in the Administration Building, Room 204 for further instructions and an authorization to work.

Offers of Federal Workstudy are subject to change and job availability, therefore, early application is encouraged. After the enrollment period ends, award offers for students who have not secured jobs will be canceled.

AUGUST 26, 1999 WHILDRAWINCIENROLLMENT CHANGES You should be aware that an application for Federal Student Aid, in most cases, prevents cancellation from enrollment due to nonpayment.

If you are enrolled and no longer plan to attend the University of Central Oklahoma, you are required to officially withdraw through the Registration Office.

Failure to do so could cause you to owe money to the university for fees, even though you are not attending. Tuition refunds as a result of a complete or partial withdrawal will be returned to the award program from which the tuition was paid.

If you are a student loan borrower who withdraws or drops to less than half time status, federal regulations require the subsequent disbursements automatically be canceled.

Reinstatement can be considered, by written request, once you are enrolled at least halftime.

An Exit Counseling Session must be completed prior to exiting the university (graduating or not planning to return), or ceasing to maintain at least halftime enrollment for all student loan borrowers.

Sessions for FFELP borrowers may be scheduled through the Student Financial Aid Media Center, UC Room 141Q or for your convenience, Exit Counseling Sessions are available via the Internet at Website address: www.mapping-your-future.org.

Perkins borrowers will need to complete the Exit Counseling Session with the Bursar's Office.
