University's Tuberculosis testing policy in question

By Robyn Lydick

Stafffriter

T

uberculosis is on the rise worldwide and some faculty members question the timeliness of UCO's tuberculosis testing policy.

On the cover, . .

Anne Lower Jr. auditions for a play titled "Grandma Sylvia's Funeral Audition" in the Communications building Wednesday afternoon. Over 30 students tried out in the play. It will be directed by Dr. Roberta Sloan and will be shown in late fall.

Questions have arisen about the possibility of an infected student spreading the disease prior to a screening.

Other regional colleges that have TB screening policies require the test be done prior to enrollment.

Currently, all international students admitted to UCO with a visa must have a TB skin test and chest x-ray within their first semester, said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center.

Concern about the disease in the early 1990s prompted the City-County Health Department to request help, in the form of screening tests, from the UCO Student Health Center, Wallenmeyer said.

Some staff members say the tests come too late. Others say screening during the first semester is adequate.

"We had a huge case in 1995," said Wallenmeyer. "The young man had been here for a couple of years and had tested negative originally."

No other active cases were found at the time and in the past five years only three cases have occurred on campus, Wallenmeyer said.

One of the problems with screening is the inaccuracy of some positive tests.

"Most of these students come from places where the BCG immunization is given," Wallenmeyer said.

BCG is a vaccine against TB. Use of the vaccine will give a positive skin test, Wallenmeyer said.

Other universities in the region have varied policies concerning TB testing.

The University of Oklahoma currently has no policy, but there has been "a lot of talk" about

creating one, said Linda Larchick, OU international student advisor.

"A few (OU) students came down with TB last year," Larchick said. Both international students and U.S. citizens were diagnosed with the disease, she said.

Oklahoma City University requires a test prior to enrollment.

The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha requires a signed form stating that the student has been tested.

UCO also requires that students in certain programs be screened. Students in nursing, speech pathology, dietetics and early education must be screened due to contact with hospital patients and preschool children, Wallenmeyer said.

Of the 50 TB cases reported to the state health department last year, five were from a student

population, said Shaun Jones of the acute disease unit of the Oklahoma Department of Health.

County-wide, 27 cases have been reported this year.

An additional 93 people tested positive Aug. 23 at Dob & Win Mini Bingo in southeast Oklahoma City, said Oklahoma City-County Health Department spokesman H.R. Holman.

A similar situation occurred May 26 when an employee of a bar in southeast Oklahoma City died of TB. The City-County health department screened people who worked or had been customers of four particular bars.

Seventy-seven tests were positive.

"A lot of people think if they have a positive skin test, they have the disease," Holman said.

"The test only shows exposure

(to the TB bacterium)."

He also stressed that a person who does not have symptoms cannot spread the disease.

Positive diagnosis of TB is made from a chest x-ray, Jones said.

According to the Centers for Disease control, there has been a decrease in TB cases nationally for the past six years. Last year, 18,361 cases were reported, a

decrease of seven percent from 1997.

Worldwide, eight million cases were reported and three million of those cases ended in death, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Tuberculosis is on the rise in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America according to WHO. Tuberculosis is also high in

areas that are densley populated and have high poverty rates according to WHO. Tuberculosis is spread by airborne moisture droplets produced when a carrier coughs, sneezes, speaks, laughs or sings.

The main form of prevention of TB is to identify those who have the disease and get them the medicines to treat the disease.

It is also important for people

to cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze.

People infected with the disease may have active or inactive stages of the disease.

Symptoms of TB include a high fever, rapid weight loss and coughing to the point of coughing up blood, said Holman.

Students who believe they may have been exposed to TB can have a skin test done at the

student health center. Tests are given from 8 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Tests are also given from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at the Oklahoma City County Health Department's Tuberculosis Center, 400 N.E. 50th Street.

Oprah grants UCO student $25,000

By Fachaitte Kinslow

StaffWriter

C

ollege tuition may be a problem for many students, but Oprah Winfery's "angels" were looking out for Arla Davis who received a $25,000 scholarship from Oprah Winfery's Angel Network Scholarship Foundation.

Sitting on the bed in her West Hall dorm room, Davis talks about her relationship with God, her family, volunteer work, school, and her scholarship.

"She's outgoing, always smiling, never meets a stranger, and always willing to help," said roommate and best friend Laura Proctor. Proctor also said Davis joins organizations to find out what's going on because she's "nosy."

All of her "nosiness" paid off in the form of $25,000.

As a member of the Boys and Girls Club in Bartlesville, Davis volunteered after school helping

young children with homework and personal problems and also playing games with them. Each year, the club offers a scholarship on a state, regional, and national level. Davis won the state level and went on to compete in the regional which she did not win.

The scholarship process consists of paperwork, interviews, and a speech on "What the Boys and Girls Club Means to Me." Davis competed the year before but didn't win.

"I was kind of mad because I didn't think the girl who won should have." Davis said. "She kind of went off the topic."

Davis said it didn't really make her work harder the next year, but she did want to win and she did.

The paperwork had already been completed the year before, so just a few changes needed to be made for this year. Davis also went through the interviews and speech and won the state level competition.

The Oklahoma Boys and Girls

Club gave a scholarship of $1,750 on the state level. The Oprah Winfrey Angel Network added $25,000.

Davis was not able to appear on the Oprah show in person, but she did send pictures of herself and family which aired on the show while she talked viatelephone.

A freshman pre-veterinary major, the scholarship will be distributed over a four year period.

Davis said she choose UCO because she liked the campus and it is close to home.

"I knew if I went to a big college I would probably go wild."

Out of her parents, an older sister and a younger brother, Davis admires her mother the most. "She's always been there for me, and she puts God first."

Archives book it to the library

By Robyn Lydick StafFletiale he university archives are moving to a new home in the library.

The new archive room and moving costs are expected to be $35,000, said University Architect David Stapleton.

Currently, the university's archives are housed in Evans Hall. Evans Hall will become the Alumni Reunion Center.

Construction in the library will begin any day, Stapleton said. Erecting partitions and installing new lighting for the archive room will take 45 days to complete, Stapleton said.

Facilities management will do the work.

The funds for the project came from section 13 money, Stapleton said. He explained what it was.

"Before statehood, surveyors divided the land into sections, every thirteenth section was reserved for the state. All proceeds from the land, either through sale, mineral leases, grazing or whatever goes into the new college fund," Stapleton said.

That money is distributed to the state colleges by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education on a percentage basis, Stapleton said.

UCO receives $1.2 million to $1.6 million each year, depending on the amount of money in the fund.

Once the archives are moved, architects will asses what will be done with the space in Evans Hall, said Ron Bogle, vice president of external affairs.

The building will be used as a visitor's center and meeting place, Bogle said.

"We want to respect the tradition and history of Evans Hall," Bogle said.

Evans Hall has served as the library, a computing center and an elementary school. "I had an alumnae in my office once who told me she went to second grade here," Bogle said. "She said my office was the school library then." <

hat do you want to be when you grow up?

Can't decide?

A new UCO course in career planning and development may help you decide what to do with your life.

The non-credit class will begin on September 1 and continue through December 8, said Carrol McAllister, career development specialist.

Enrollment deadline is August 31.

Career Planning & Exploration will meet 3:30 to 5 p.m., Wednesday afternoons in the University Center, Room 312. It will be co-taught by McAllister and Lisa Gilmore, career counselor.

The goal of the class is to teach students effective job seeking skills and how to make career decisions, McAllister said.

"The processes they learn will possibly be used more than once. Statistics show you may change jobs eight times in your lifetime."

Each class will consist of hands-on activities, lectures, class discussions.

Small group sessions will also be used as a learning tool.

Tuition is $30 for the entire class, and the required book can be purchased at the UCO Bookstore for $12.50.

"Students will go away with a lot of information they can use," McAllister said.

For more information, contact Carrol McAllister or Lisa Gilmore at 974-3346. -<

Forensic science master's degree to be offered in 2000

By Robyn Lydick

Staffigriter.

T

he UCO chemistry department is wrapping up final preparations for the only master's level forensics department in the region.

Classes for the new degree begin in spring 2000. UCO currently offers a bachelor's program in the discipline.

Forensics is the scientific application of obtaining and interpreting evidence from a crime scene.

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education approved the program during their June 30 meeting.

The degree program has attracted a lot of attention from law enforcement agencies, forensic laboratories and nurses, said Dr. Fred Grosz, chairman of

the chemistry department.

Grosz said the program took three years to develop, although it had been talked about for 10 years.

The University of Alabama is the closest master's program to the area, Grosz said.

"There is a program at Southwest Missouri State, but it is a master's in chemistry with a forensic option," Grosz said.

The program consists of a core of 13 credit hours with an additional 21 credit hours in one of three options: technical investigations, criminalistics or forensic nursing.

Technical investigations are crime scene investigations.

Criminalistics is analyzing evidence.

Forensic nurses gather evidence in the hospital for cases such as domestic abuse, sexual assault and child abuse.

Classes in the core include: ethics and testimony, the Constitution and criminal procedure, crime scene investigation and reconstruction and physical and biological aspects of forensic science.

Option courses include techniques of forensic science photography, death investigation and child abuse forensics.

Some classes are currently available in other degree programs, Grosz said.

"But the vast majority are new."

The chemistry department will administer the program but the biology, journalism, nursing, political science, sociology and criminal justice departments will also be involved.

Grosz said a large part of the program might be offered through block courses and distance learning via the Internet

"The girls are all about UCO and all about Greek (societies).

"Then the girl is offered the opportunity to spend time learning more about the sorority before she is initiated."

The Student Activities Office said a total of 97 UCO students signed up to join sororities.

Although only 70 students were placed into sororities, some young women may have a choice of which house to join.

is up to the pledge," Craddock said.

Susan White, Delta Zeta president, said that her organization extended bids to 20 girls, who joined their new sorority sisters last Friday. Bid day ended for them with a picnic and karaoke at Haefer park.

If the sorority houses have any openings after bid day,

opportunities become available for the young women who were not able to participate.

"We have one opening for a potential new member," said Susan White, Delta Zeta president. Currently, Delta Zeta has 59 chapter members, 10 of whom reside in the sorority house with a house mother.

Some things have changed from the days UCO alumni, like

Lisa Craddock, were in college.

"Rush" is now a week of "recruitment" rather than a theme hot wired to loud music, beer kegs, and wild parties. The term "rushee" has been tossed aside for today's new term of "potential new member".

"I still have to get used to some of the new terminology, too," admitted White.

The union is not completely

consummated at the conclusion of bid day.

"New members are initiated about eight weeks after bid day, and at Delta Zeta, initiation is held in a closed ceremony; which means only members and new members may attend," White said.

Sororities participating in bid day — Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Zeta, and

Sigma Kappa — are represented through membership on the National Panhellenic Council.

The sororities share similarities in some of their membership requirements, such as maintaining GPA standards, yet, each house has a unique mission which sets them apart.

Texas school supports minority project

Chalk talk. . .

Jared Busby, freshman broadcast journalism major, writes on the sidewalk to promote the sale of posters on campus.

hen an engineering class stumped Tiffani Darden, she did what any Texas A&M University student might do: seek help from a graduate assistant.

But the assistant's prickly personality and the Confederate flag hanging over his desk taught the 20-year-old AfricanAmerican, then a sophomore, that she would have to overcome more than physics and formulas to succeed at the mostly white university.

It's a lesson the senior from Houston passed along to 87 incoming freshmen last weekend at Project ExCEL, a two-day, student-run conference designed to smooth the transition to college for minority freshmen and their parents.

"The thing you have to be careful about is not letting one negative thing overpower you and make you stereotype every single white person at Texas A&M," said Darden, now a political science major. The 13th annual conference - ExCEL

BOARS HEAD RESTAURANT & PUB DINING • DANCING • GAMES • POOL

stands for Excellence uniting Culture, Education and Leadership - costs $35 and includes workshops, group discussions and social events. It's all part of A&M's effort to keep minority students on track toward their degrees.

A&M is not alone.

As court rulings curtail affirmative action programs nationwide, colleges and universities increasingly have focused as much energy on keeping minority students as they have on attracting them.

"For the last 10 years, people have realized recruitment is only one small part of it," said Debra Humphreys, director of programs for the 700-member Association of American Colleges and Universities. "Retention is the name of the game, because a lot of students enter college and never get out."

Lorna Hermosura, assistant coordinator of student retention and development at A&M, agreed.

'If we don't take the time and energy to support these students

when they get here," she said, "then we may be doing them a disservice by admitting them in the first place."

The University of Texas at Austin offers a similar summer orientation as well as workshops, peer counseling, tutoring and social activities throughout the year.

By law, the programs must be open to all students, but they tend to attract mostly minorities, said Dr. Margarita Arellano, assistant dean of students for retention services at UT. That's because minorities on campus are more likely to feel socially isolated and seeking a support system, Arellano said.

It remained a 1-1 deadlock until Hoppe, a rookie from Western Heights High School in Oklahoma City, headed in a goal with 14:54 left as Jessica Mathieu and Connie Barker earned assists.

Columnist comments on changing football history

T

hanks be to St. Francis Leahy that these new centuries only come every hundred years or so. Just try putting together a best-of-the20th-Century list for college football.

Start with best coach. Some would say it has to be Bear Bryant because he has the most victories in Division I-A. Others would cast their vote for Joe Paterno, who may overtake the Bear next year. A good many more would pick Knute Rockne and in Chicago a few people no doubt would nominate Amos Alonzo Stagg, whose career began in the 19th Century.

As for the best team of the last 100 years, some would say it's Army '45.

Others might pick Oklahoma '55 or any one of a half-dozen teams from Nebraska, Notre Dame or Miami.

The best running back had to be Red Grange, unless it was Glenn Davis, Doak Walker, Archie Griffin, Tony Dorsett or Ricky Williams.

We haven't even gotten around to best nicknames: the Four Horsemen or the Seven Blocks of Granite?

At once irrelevant and amusing, "Best of lists are nice for filling air between the commercials on talk radio. The task here is to look forward.

With the final college football season of the 1900s already here, believe it or not, we're going to consider physiology, economics, architecture, geography and philosophy and the ways they may shape the game in the next century.

History is noticeably absent from this list of subjects, but this is not to say, as Henry Ford did, that history is bunk. By virtue of its sheer weight, history means more in college football than any other sport. The only rival is major-league baseball, and let's just say the Tampa Bay Devil Rays are a bit light in this department.

No formal education is complete without an appreciation for history. As we prepare to tee up the final college football

season of the 1900s, if we want to know what's coming in the 21st Century, its wise to start by looking back, professor--to the dying gasps of the last century.

In 1899, the power base of the nascent sport had begun to shift from the East Coast to the South Side of Chicago, where the University of Chicago was busily trying to build a school of which Stagg's football team could be proud.

Stagg's ideas--including the forward pass and the establishment of lettermen's clubs to foster loyalty among alumni--would shape the modern game. As former Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson once said, "Every time you think you've discovered something new or innovative, go look it up in the library. You'll find that Mr. Stagg did it in or before the year 1900."

In 1899, Stagg's Maroons went 12-0-2. They conceded 27 points all year and battered Western Conference (later Big Ten) rival Northwestern 76-0. By the end of that autumn, it must have seemed obvious that the dynasty rising along the Midway Plaisance would dominate the sport well into the next century.

As for Northwestern, well, it would always have tennis.

But 40 years later, the U. of C. was out of the major-college football business. And 56 years after that, Northwestern won back-to-back Big Ten titles.

So perhaps history (ITAL.) is (END ITAL.) bunk.

Not all of the changes in college football have been as dramatic as Chicago's decision to drop big-time football (The Maroons now play at the Division III level, where the game is every bit as spirited as the Division I level, if the slightest bit purer.)

"When you're living it, you don't notice the changes, " Minnesota coach Glen MasOn said. "It's like you pull out a picture from high school and your kids see your hair and your clothes and they say, "Who's that?', and you say, "That was me.' " The 1990s were a time of .

upheaval in the college game, leading one to suspect that more turbulence is coming in the 2000s, the 2010s and the 2020s (in this case, foresight is 20-20, no?). In the last decde, oncelowly Northwestern went to the Rose Bowl, as did longtime Pac10 patsies Oregon and Washington State. Kansas State, which had more winless seasons than winning seasons when Bill Snyder arrived in 1989, came within a few plays last year of qualifying for the Fiesta Bowl and a shot at the national championship.

But as the serfs rose up across the land, some of the lords tumbled. If Notre Dame does not win the national title this year, it will end an amazing string of eight decades in which someone or other named the Fighting Irish No. 1. The last Irish 0-for-adecade: the 1900s. The president at the end of that decade was William Howard Taft, 'whose administration spanned four years. The Bob Davie administration might not last much longer if he doesn't return the Fighting Irish to their accustomed heights.

The storied past can be burdensome in many of the old citadels (hello, Alabama?), but its familiar patterns provide a road map as the odometer clicks

over to "2000." We know that in the 21st Century: Ohio State still will dread Michigan, which still will dread Notre Dame, which still will dread Southern Cal, which still will dread UCLA, which still will have the best-looking cheerleaders.

Defense always will prevail, except when offense does.

The second-loudest roar in any stadium on any Saturday, after that reserved for a home team touchdown, will follow these words from the publicaddress announcer: "And in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame trails Paterno will retire. Probably.

Here's a peek at some of the subjects that are certain to affect the game in the 21st Century: PHYSIOLOGY At 5 feet 10 inches and 253 pounds, Wisconsin tailback Ron Dayne would have been by far the beefiest player on the Badgers' 1962 Rose Bowl team.

The Badgers' starting line averaged barely more than 200 pounds per man and the heaviest offensive starter was Pat Richter (now Wisconsin's athletic director), who weighed 229 pounds.

In 1972 Baylor's starting offensive and defensive linemen averaged 205 pounds. Last

winter Ohio State and Michigan State each signed three high school prospects weighing at least 300 pounds. Nebraska has 13 300-pounders on its 1999 roster.

"And the thing about these (big) guys is, they can move too," Minnesota's Mason said.

Dayne might provide a hint as to what the prototypical player for the 21st Century will look like. He combines breakaway speed and quickness with bulk.

The senior has been nagged by injuries throughout his college career, but as players grow faster and stronger, schools are trying to keep up equipmentadvances aimed at ensuring safety.

"The athletes are going to get a whole lot better," Indiana coach Cam Cameron said.

"That's all we know for sure."

ECONOMICS On most Division I-A campuses, football pays the way for every other sport.

As athletic departments struggle to meet the requirements of Title IX, they face increased pressure to mine new revenue sources. There aren't many. A national playoff seems to be the most lucrative-and the most controversial.

BIRTH CONTROL

Continuedfrompage 18 higher profile recently when the Food and Drug Administration approved a new emergency contraceptive. Considered to have fewer side effects than any of the formulas already on the market, the pill, called Plan B, is expected to be available at family planning clinics within a few weeks, and should hit pharmacy shelves by year's end.

The most widely known emergency contraceptive already on the market is called Preven.

The new pill is not related to the so-called French abortion pill, RU-486, which induces abortion after a pregnancy has been confirmed and is not for sale in this country. Emergency contraceptives prevent pregnancy, not terminate it.

"Women don't know to ask, so therefore they don't ask.

That's the Catch-22," said James Trussell, a professor of economics and public affairs at Princeton who operates the university's Emergency Contraception Web Site, http://opr.princeton.edu/ec/hotli ne.html If most women knew they could take steps to prevent a

pregnancy immediately after a condom broke, an episode of unprotected sex, a diaphragm slipped, or if a few birth control pills were forgotten, however, "we could cut in half the number of unintended pregnancies and cut in half the need for abortion," Trussell says.

In recent years, there has been an increased effort to raise awareness of -and access to emergency contraceptives.

A confidential hotline - (888) NOT-2-LATE (888-668-2528) has been established, enabling women to quickly locate doctors in their area who can prescribe the drugs.

Still, a survey of Princeton University students found that while many young women were growing more aware of emergency contraceptive pills, few knew they were ordinary oral contraceptives. And most confused them with RU-486.

Emergency contraceptives, however, work to prevent an actual pregnancy by halting ovulation or blocking an egg from being fertilized, researchers say. If fertilization has already occurred, the

contraceptives may prevent implantation of the egg in the woman's uterus. The medical community generally defines pregnancy as occurring once a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus.

"This is not an abortion," says Dorothy Furgerson, medical director of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which serves Santa Cruz, Monterey and Santa Clara counties in Northern California.

"It does nothing to an already established pregnancy."

The pills have caused controversy within the abortion debate, however, because they can prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Many opposed to abortion believe life begins at the moment of conception, not when a fertilized egg is implanted.

The pills should be taken before a pregnancy can occur within 72 hours of unprotected sex, although it's possible they may work to a lesser degree for some hours after that.

"The earlier you take it the better," Furgerson says.

Survey shows weekly quizzes help raise students' grades

H

ere's a back-to-school tip: You want better grades, demand that your professors quiz you once a week. Still reading?

A new study suggests that students who received a quiz on reading materialevery week outperformed other students on midterm and final examination grades by four to 24 percent.

Students with low grades benefit the most from frequent testing.

The reason probably isn't too surprising: "Even when students believe they can learn material in a class, and when they know the appropriate strategies for learning, they won't do it -- until we give them a reason to do it," says Bruce W. Tuckman, an o educational psychologist at Ohio State University.

In two studies, Tuckman compared the performance of two Florida State University classes on educational

One class he quizzed every week on the reading assigned for that week. Those students knew when to expect the quiz, and what material would be covered.

He didn't quiz the other class, but gave them comparable homework assignments on the same reading material.

Students who were quizzed in the two studies outperformed the

other students' grades by an average of four percent and seven percent respectively.

Students with relatively high GPA's earned approximately the same grade for the midterm or

final exam whter they were quizzed or did homework. But students with low GPAs improved grades dramatically when they were quizzed.

President Webb encourages community among UCO students, staff

T

he theme at our opening convocation with faculty a couple of weeks ago was "UCO at the Millennium: Building Community, Character and Civility." All the colleges and departments were challenged to consider what their role should be in developing and gathering these tenets during the coming year.

What is community? And what does it mean on this campus in our day to day lives?

The technology of the Internet is compelling in this fast-paced world, but that same technology tends to isolate us. Driving to work alone or spending hours in front of a video screen at night isolates us as well. Volunteerism in America is in decline. A renowned expert on the subject says that television viewing is

the principle reason. homecoming float, attending a When VCR's flourished years lecture by a visiting speaker, ago, many said it would be the joining a special interest club. death of people going to see a movie at the movie theaters.

But attendance at movie theaters is at an all-time high.

Why? People like and need group experiences.

Cities •are discovering that because people work all day creating and communicating through computers, they want to get out at night in safe environments and "connect" somewhere in the community.

Community means many things for a university.

It's about attending the theater or concert. It's about yelling at a Broncho football or baseball or basketball game. It's It's about singing Christmas about cheering others' successes. carols at Winterglow.

It's about building a And even more directly,

School is hard.

Checking?

There's nothing to it! no monthly fee no minimum balance no check limits no monthly debit card fee no fee for overdraft protection

Student Checking at TM

community is about helping a fellow student move into the residence halls, giving directions or answering questions, taking a new international friend to lunch at the University Center, picking someone up when their spirits are down. It's about interdependence, not independence. It's the process of "hanging in" with each other when times get rough.

It's about faculty getting to know students on a first-name basis and getting to know other faculty outside their departments. It's about students getting to know other students from other places and other backgrounds on a first-name basis and having lots of late night conversations about life.

It's about simple things-friendliness, a supporting smile, a thank-you note or phone call to

someone who has helped you.

Why is community important?

Because community ties us together. It makes our days more pleasant and generates a sense of harmony. Because we go back home or back to our residence hall at night feeling better.

Because contributing to a sense of community actually makes us better people.

The UCO community consists of many neighborhoods. But we are brought together by a common set of goals and values.

Hopefully, one of these values is community.

I'd like to encourage each of you to get involved with activities and get to know others outside the classrooms. This campus is a big community -with lots of great opportunities to enrich and enhance our everyday experience.

t a university where most people commute to school, it is hard to find many students enthusiastic about school spirit. Many people drive to and from classes without thinking to stop and involve themselves in school activities.

But how much effort does it really take to show a little school spirit? Most of us have something in our closets to wear on designated Bronze and Blue Fridays. Most clubs only meet once a month for an hour. And how about using your student I.D. to get into a Broncho game on Saturday afternoons instead of using it to get a discount at the evening movies?

By becoming more involved on campus, we will be rewarded with friendship, experience and many college memories.

We can all do our part to increase school spirit and school involvement.

In today's Vista, we are happy to have a commentary from President Webb that talks about this very issue.

President Webb said it best when he suggested that we build school spirit to enhance the university community. This starts with being friendly, helpful and a little less selfish with our time.

So grab your bronze and blue this Friday, and remember to smile more, help a friend and get involved. <

Student vents over air problem You may have heard of the recent air conditioning problems at Murdaugh Hall and of the subsequent protest regarding this problem. First, let me say that we as students are getting the shaft when it comes to administrative excuses concerning the money needed to fix the air conditioning. According to a recent fact sheet, dated sometime around the last of June and the first part of July, fact #2 states: "a 2nd chilled water pump is to be installed next week. The shipping date on this pump is July 8, 1999." Fact #3 states: "the outside chiller costs $100,000.00 to replace, and effective July 1, 1999, Facilities Management is proceeding with the replacement of this chiller."

Fact #4 states: "As the air is now working in the building, please close all windows so that the building can cool down." This so called "fact sheet" is more like a false sheet considering the residents of Murdaugh Hall held the protest on July 29, 1999 and there was no cool air for the whole month of July. In the August 26, 1999 issue of The Vista, Mr. Wiseman, Director of

University Relations and University spokesman now says it will cost $500,000.00 to replace the chiller. Mr. Wiseman, is it 100 or 500 thousand dollars to replace it? And, according to the aforementioned "fact sheet", students were under the impression that it was currently being replaced. If it is being replaced, why is Murdaugh Hall being defined as a no-air conditioning building? Listen up students! Mr. Wiseman, as I mentioned previously is the Director of University Relations and a University spokesman, therefore he speaks the views very clearly when he says and I quote: "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." Obviously this administration pays no attention to student concerns. Mr. Wiseman's comments confirm the protests chants; "UCO doesn't care!" Accordingly, we should attend a more responsive University.
