Speech, hearing clinic funds grow as UCO receives accreditation By Trina Couch StudentWriter

he UCO speech-language pathology program received an eight-year reaccreditation in late October from the Council on Academic Accreditation of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association to enhance the academic program. The accreditation runs through the year 2006. The program was first accredited in 1993. To date, more than $40,000 of the $100,000 goal has been raised according to Dr. Scott McLaughlin, director of UCO's master's degree program in speech-language pathology. The national accrediting body visited the university on March 30-31 and recently notified the university of its re-accreditation, McLaughlin said. The master's level department recently was the recipient of the university's first endowed chair, the $500,000 Inez Miller Endowed Chair for Speech and Hearing. Miller donated $250,000 for the chair, an amount matched by the State Regents for Higher Education. A fundraising campaign for a new speech and hearing clinic at UCO was also launched by Miller, who promises to match incoming donations dollar-for-dollar. Approximately 21 students graduate each year from UCO with graduate degrees in speech-language pathology. McLaughlin said he looks forward to the establishment of the new clinic once the $100,000 mark has been reached. The "Sign on with Inez" campaign began June 26 and will continue until the goal is reached, McLaughlin said. More than 110 donors have contributed funds, matched dollar-for-dollar, toward the campaign. For more information, contact the UCO Foundation at 974-2770 or send contributions, earmarked for the "Inez Miller Clinic" to the: UCO Foundation, 100 N. University Dr., Evans Hall Room 101, Edmond, Okla. 73034. <

Spring survey to assess students' opinions By Jarrod Briley Studentrdnier

CO's proposed daycare center will be the focus of a spring survey designed to determine how much money students would be willing to pay for its services if it is built. Labetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center and chairman of the survey, said the survey will also ask

for ideas on funding. Wallenmeyer said the survey would be distributed to randomly selected groups of UCO students to ensure the survey results are valid. Mary Monfort, professor of curriculum and instructions, said if the center was built it would not likely be funded or subsidized by the university. Monfort has been trying to raise $3 million to build the facility for the past

year. She said even if the money is raised that it would only cover construction costs. Monfort would not say how much money has been currently raised. "Students would probably not be paying a competitive price. A daycare center has to have a low student to teacher ratio. That makes it very expensive," Monfort said.

s finals week casts its dark clouds over the unusually pleasant weather we've had this year, UCO students are probably anxious to scribble that last answer on the Scantron or the last word on a final paper. After days of late nights behind the desk, dozing in and out, and drooling on a Chemistry textbook over a cup of cold coffee, we will finally leave UCO rejoicing over a well-spent semester. Finally, we'll see that light at the end of a sleep-deprived tunnel: Christmas break. It's that time of year again, to untangle those lights and decorate the tree. For some, it may be the perfect time to slam that button down on the alarm clock, and pull the covers over your head and finally get some well-deserved sleep. Or perhaps that may be hard to do with a house full of relatives and an oversized aunt who can't get enough of pinching your cheeks. That's what the season is all about. So, take a deep breath, start studying and before you know it, you'll be enjoying the holidays. Have a safe Christmas break and see you in 1999.

Student questions significance of tattoo article

n response to the article "Think twice about that tattoo," in the Dec. 3, issue of The Vista, I would have to agree with that statement; however, it goes further to refer tattoos as a "big," "fat" and "mistake," I strongly disagree with that statement. tattoos are not for everybody and I respect people's decision not to get one, but I also believe that the people who decide to get a tattoo should have the same respect in return. The article mentions words like "generation," "fickle" and "least self-assured." It sounds to me like that paints a "bouquet of black roses." Every generation faces its share of trends. The article mentions "Mom and Dad," and how they dressed in their youth, well, look around and what do you see? Wow, everybody in this generation is dressing like "Mom and Dad." In deciding to get a tattoo, you have to have some degree of maturity (even talking about it). People experience many different things going through life, childhood, early adulthood ... etc. If

everybody lived in a glass house and sat on a gold throne, we would not be writing about this. Tattoos are a type of expression; however, not the type of expression of a weekend binge where you wake up and find you have a skull with a snake going through it on your back. As it is stated in the. article, "One of the biggest problems with tattoos is it lasts forever," so a person needs to think of it in the manner. If you are worried about loosing your allowance on your brand new car that daddy just bought you, getting a tattoo may not be a good suggestion. If you feel strong enough about it and you accept the responsibility and the permanency of it, I do not see anything wrong with it. I would have thought more seriously about this article if it had mentioned something important about it being a health risk rather than keeping up with the social norms. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;David French Management information systems major

Wedel's got chutzpah, says English senior

teven Wedel's Dec. 3 column is a classic study in the Wedel mind at work. What chutzpah! Only someone of Wedel's courage would attempt to make any comparison between the Clinton scandal and Iran-Contra. Only a true patriot could have the cajones to claim an illegal act "was the right thing to do." We are truly blessed to have such a talent to show us that a tryst in a White House hallway (or ten or eleven) is "worse" than helping to run drugs in Central America, so long as it's to keep the

commie hordes at bay. If only 011ie had succeeded perhaps Nicaragua could have returned to the golden age of Anastasio Somoza. It takes someone like Wedel to show us morons that a true American can't let little things like national sovereignty of international law get in the way of what's right for America. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;John Allen Senior, English

New 24-screen theater provides job opportunities By Angel Riggs Studenfflitiler

CO students will have the opportunity to apply for one of 100 jobs made available by the opening of an American Multi-Cinema Inc. (AMC) theater on Dec. 18. According to an AMC press release, 200 jobs will be created by the opening of The AMC Quail Springs 24 Theaters' located at Quail Springs Mall in Oklahoma City. There are currently 100 fulltime and part-time positions open. The theater's employees work very flexible hours, said Gary Rowland, the theater's senior manager. He added that the AMC is "open throughout the day, but we're busiest in the evenings and on weekends." Potential employees can pick up an application -

at the Quail Springs Mall guest services, management office or at the AMC Memorial Square box office. College degrees are not required for most positions at the theater, though they are needed for management positions, Rowland said. Rowland didn't designate a specific major required to advance in the business. He did say business degrees were helpful, however he also said they mainly take into consideration a person being able to successfully complete a college education. "There are lots of positions below the management level, and some people have worked their way up," Rowland said. The theater, which will contain 24 screens, will also offer a student discount on movie tickets. While the price has not been set, a student discount is a fixture with AMC theaters.

UCO student to help children with mental healing on national TV

University Women's Club features Webbs at annual Christmas coffee

By Jarrod Briley

n upcoming episode of Maury Povich, regarding children who have been permanently scarred in accidents, will feature UCO freshman, Cole Dewey. Dewey will appear at the end of the show and speak to the children about the psychological healing process. Dewey was involved in a vehicular collision in April 1996. Dewey's car caught fire after the collision and, as a result, left her with permanent scarring. "I wasn't able to look in the mirror for a long time," Dewey said. Dewey said that in time she was able to accept the fact that she was scarred and refused to allow the scarring to affect the way she lived her life. "I feel very fortunate that I didn't have any emotional problems. A lot of times people involved in accidents like mine develop a fear of fire or driving. I never did," Dewey said. Dewey flew to New York for the taping of the show on Tuesday and returned Wednesday. Dewey was unsure when the show would air. <

ne of UCO's oldest campus organizations consists of women only. The members of the University Women's Club are female UCO staff and faculty members or the wives of UCO staff and faculty. The organization has records dating back 60 years when it was simply a social club. "I have learned so much about the University from these women," said club president and political science professor Shari Carney. Today, the organization still maintains its social atmosphere but also contributes a great deal to scholarships. "Almost 100 percent of our dues go to scholarships," Carney said. The University Women's Club awards a scholarship to one UCO student each year. Carney said the organization rotates between the University's five colleges and this year presented a business student with a $400 scholarship. Next year's recipient will come from the College of Education. Carney estimates that the University Women's Club has donated $8,000 in scholarships in the past 12 years and credits the devotion of the members. "These women love this university...their commitment to UCO cannot be matched," Carney said. There are more than 50 members in the organization today and they maintain four annual events. A fall tea, an October meeting, a Christmas coffee and an April Style Show featuring some of the styles worn by women associated with the

university in previous years. The organization's Christmas coffee was held last Saturday and featured President Webb and his wife, Dr. Jeanie Webb as speakers. "There's a fellowship that draws you closer together and allows you to learn more about this institution by these women who love UCO," Carney said. Any female faculty, staff member, wive of a UCO faculty or staff, who are interested in joining the University Women's Club, are encouraged to contact Carney at 974-5531.

Soon, calling a woman a hero or heroine could trigger looks of shame from your colleagues, if a new politically

correct effort catches on. A San Francisco feminist group has launched an attack on all references toward women as heroes or heroines. Rather, the new PC term for a female of greatness is "shero," with an emphasis on the she. Varla Ventura, feminist activist,

believes female role models should be treated with the non-masculine respect they deserve. She has even written a book about the subject called "Sheroes: Bold, Brash and Absolutely Unabashed Superwomen" by Conan Press. Ventura and her group of word warriors are trying to elicit support from dictionary makers to help force the socially-conscious change. This year they've urged people to write letters to editors of the "MerriamWebster's Dictionary" and demand that they add "shero" to the 1999 edition. In letters to the public, Ventura and her group claim the word "hero" is an outdated masculine reference, which has no place when describing women. Also, she contends that the feminine form of the wordâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;"heroine"â&#x20AC;&#x201D;is no longer proper because it sounds too much like the name of an illegal drug. The push toward shero-fying the

public is slowly gaining support in California. Yet, at UCO, it's not taking roots. Rather, students are laughing at the idea, saying political correctness is going to far. "What are they going to do, try to make us say `shello' to women when we see them, instead of 'hello?'" joked Amber White, freshman. "Or maybe we'll start saying that Jewish women speak in Shebrew instead of Hebrew. It's crazy." Crazy or not, the word "shero" has been tossed around for years. The term was coined in 1981 by Spellman College President Johnetta B. Cole. "Shero" has since been used frequently by public female figures, including Oprah Winfrey, who occasionally uses the word on her talk show. Whatever the outcome, the debate is expected to get more "sheated"...er, heated as 1999 approaches.

"Oklahoma!" star brings Ch ristmas spectacular to UCO By Katie Hawk Staffnitifet

rty-three years ago, she starred in her first film as Laurey Williams in Fthe musical "Oklahoma!" Five days ago, she starred in "A Christmas Spectacular" at Mitchell Hall Theater during her first visit to Edmond. She was introduced as Shirley Jones, the first lady of American song. But before she was introduced, the UCO Concert Chorale and Kaleidoscope Dancers danced to the song "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Afterwards, Jones appeared in a red sequined evening gown, complimenting the "Spectacular Christmas" theme. She began the evening with the song "If I Love You." Following her first song, Jones gave a special thanks to Jon Finch, UCO's consultant to the arts and special events, for inviting her to perform. Jones then explained the value of children during the holiday season. "What would Christmas and the holidays be without the children? I think perhaps a certain part of the season should be dedicated to the children, and that should always remain," she said. After she spoke about children, the audience expected her to introduce her son, Patrick Cassidy. Instead, she began singing "Give A Little Whistle" from the movie "Pinnochio." She said she can't whistle so she told the audience to, "put your lips together and blow." The whistling was followed by the song

"When You Wish Upon A Star," also from "Pinnochio." She then sang her "very favorite of all Christmas songs," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." "You won't be hearing any Partridge Family songs from me tonight. I'll leave that to David Cassidy," she said. Instead, she sang "I'm In Love With A Wonderful Guy" from the Broadway musical "South Pacific," and "Memory" from the Broadway musical "Cats." She introduced her pianist, Ron Able, as her "symphony orchestra," and called their relationship a "musical marriage." Then, she told a "behind the scenes story" from the nine-month movie production of "The Music Man," in which she starred. Three months into the movie, she discovered she was pregnant with her son, Patrick Cassidy. "I was in big trouble," she said. She told her director she was pregnant, but he told her not to tell anybody. While Jones and Robert Preston were kissing during the only love scene in "The Music Man," her baby kicked. Preston was frightened when he felt the kick and jumped away from Jones. Twenty years later, Cassidy wanted to meet Preston, she said. At that moment Cassidy danced onto the stage wearing a tuxedo, singing the upbeat song "River City" from "The Music Man." Together, Jones and Cassidy sang "Till There Was You," also from "The Music Man." "To have him (Cassidy) respect and enjoy the music I do, is a joy," Jones said.

This mother and son duo continued with traditional Christmas songs such as, "Silver Bells," "Winter Wonderland," and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." A fifteen minute intermission allowed for the duo to change their costumes. After the intermission, the UCO Chorale and Kaleidoscope Dancers opened with another song and dance. This time, it was choreographed to "Winter Wonderland." Jones then appeared on stage in a sleigh wearing a sparkling silver pantsuit. Snow began to fall as Jones and the-UCO Chorale sang "Noel," "0 Little Town of Bethlehem," "Silent Night," and other traditional ":106 / Christmas songs. Cassidy entered the stage again, this time with the song "All I Want For Christmas Is You," which he dedicated to his wife, Alyssa. Jones then treated the audience to the song "Oklahoma." The crowd stood up, clapped and yipped along until Cassidy slowed down the mood with "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" and "People Will Say We're In Love," both from "Oklahoma!" Jones and the Chorale joined together again to sing "0 Night Divine." The final song consisted of Able, the pianist, directing the Chorale and Jones in an acapella version of "Let

There Be Peace On Earth." After the performance, Jones received a bouquet of roses while the audience stood and applauded the "Spectacular Christmas" performance. The performance was the second of a fiveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;part President's Series: Broadway Tonight. The first was "Arsenic and Old Lace." The upcoming events are "Me and My Girl," January 27, "The Letterman," March 16, and Pearl Kaufman "From The Classics To Hollywood," April 24.

Financial aid answers only a website away By Angel Riggs StudentWriter

A series of chat nights, sponsored by the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program (OGSLP), are being held throughout the 19981999 school year to guide students in their educational careers by use of the Internet. The college, career and financial aid Web site, "Mapping Your Future," is located at www.ogslp.org and was the host of the most recent chat session, "Financial Aid and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid," held Dec. 2 . Students and parents were able to ask experts in the field of financial aid questions they had about college costs. The chat nights are relatively new. "We have sponsored two or three of these previously," said Laura Callahan, of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, which administers the OGSLP. Two more chat nights will be held during the school year. "Careers, Internships, and Summer Jobs" will be March 3, 1999, and "College and Career Planning for Non-Traditional Students" will be June 16, 1999.

Columnist cites UCOSA Senate conspiracy

at if the U.S. House of Representatives decide to impeach Pres. Bill Clinton and send articles of impeachment to the Senate and only a handful of senators, all of whom are Clinton supporters, show up to vote? Fortunately for America, that isn't possible. In the U.S. Senate, there must be a quorum present for voting. Unfortunately for UCO, that rule doesn't apply to the Student Association Senate. So, a senate bill could be voted on by any number of senators—the full count of about 115, or just the three who feel like attending the meeting on a given Monday. The UCOSA leadership has repeatedly said that they want the UCO student government system to resemble the federal system. And yet, in so many ways, it doesn't.

I wouldn't want less than a quorum of our lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to be making decisions involving our tax money. But here on campus, the UCOSA Senate is making decisions about our Student Activity Fee money regardless. Now, do you want to hear my conspiracy theory? Of course you do! I think the passage of the bill allowing the UCOSA Senate to vote without having a quorum is the work of the Belase/Archer Axis—the collaboration of UCOSA Pres. Derrek Belase and Speaker of the House Dale Archer. Why would they want to do that? Because they got more than they bargained for when they forced the creation of a student senate and coerced people to join

never been great. How could it be? The senate's made up of students, many of whom do not want to be involved in UCOSA. On average, only about 60 members—just over half the members—attend UCOSA Senate meetings. My prediciton is that, after the budget for student organizations is finalized, even fewer people will bother with the UCOSA Senate. And that's when those members under the influence of the Belase/Archer Axis will be the only ones still attending senate meetings. Once that happens, the senate will become nothing more than a rubber-stamp organization like the UCOSA House of Representatives. UCOSA leadership used the formation of the senate to seize it. control of our Student Activity Fee The senate has been doing a money. I will be shocked if they do pretty good job, but attendance has not use the senate to gain further

control of the distribution of that money. Remember, it was the UCOSA leadership who tried to silence your student newspaper by proposing to cut its Student Activity Fee funding. It was the same UCOSA leaders who continually blocked funding to provide Student Technology Fee funding to help handicapped students—while at the same time pushing for money to buy new computer equipment for the student government. What can we do about it? The same thing we can do on the federal level—we can lobby our senators to revoke the law allowing them to vote without a quorum present. We have to do it now, too. If I'm right, we can't wait because after this year's budget is passed, the senators who are not puppets of the Belase/Archer Axis may stop

Ragtime, rock, rap and a little bluegrass too, Brings new season greetings in CDs to you

By Dustin Pyeatt Stall Writer

o Ho Ho everyone, it's your jolly old reviewer with the last installment of the semester. This weeks' review is packed full of Yuletide music to spice up your holiday parties. First under the tree is the Squirrel Nut Zippers with "Christmas Caravan" (Mammoth). This disc offers a little of the old and a little of the new. The Zippers cover some old standbys like "Winter Weather," which sounds like Jimmy Stewart himself listened to it between takes of "It's A Wonderful Life." The Zippers also add their quirky southern sound to the classic "Sleigh Ride" by performing it as a rag-time instrumental. There is also a very bluegrass rendition of "Gift of the Magi." To add to the joyous sounds, this disc also has some great alternatives to the usual holiday fare with songs like "Carolina Christmas" and "Hot Christmas." And stuffed in the stockings hung by Hat ClIrki-miAcr AcireAt.n4 Eier, r--1P4171 the chimney with care is "A Very Special &it tit t ha 71, Jiihn WI C lir I rtmh Wirgttr Christmas" by various artists (Atlantic). Ilitrogirl 'Op fttcrzkiry Cexilrtg 14o,tve tr6r.C11.trilt,.4* 51.;q,501. Fodc "Special Christmas" is a compilation the Smashing Pumpkins rendition of of rock, pop and rap artists doing covers those who hate Christmas music. This disc has it all, though some of the "Christmastime" is beautiful musically, of traditional and performing some original songs. This is the perfect disc for choices are questionable. For example, but Corigans vocals sound a little less

than sincere. Also, Natalie Merchant's performance of "Children Go Where I Send Thee" is not that great either, but then again, it's never been a very good Christmas song no matter who sings it. For those who like their Christmas carols with an edge there is No Doubt singing a song called "Oi To The World," Jonny Lang's "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town," and a wild one called "Santa Baby" performed by Mase, Puff Daddy, Snoop Dog, Onyx and Salt & Peppa. Other high points include Enya singing a beautiful version of "Silent Night," and Hootie and the Blowfish belting out "The Christmas Song." This disc also includes forgettable songs by Steve Winwood, Sting and Tracy Chapman. But if your CD player is good enough, you can just program those out. Well, there it is, wrapped up with a nice red bow. Hopefully these will make your holidays bright. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Track and field team takes several top ten spots By Darrell J. Weidner SportsWriter

he UCO track and field team turned in several top 10 finishes at the OU All Corners indoor track meet Saturday, in Norman. The Bronchos competed against several teams from NCAA Division I including OU and OSU. The women's mile relay team (Ebony Shirley, Carrie Tucker, Kelli Null, and Anetra Lacey) took seventh in the event with a time of 4:03.90.

"Psycho" remake lacks classic's bloody touch

Agfly;wftwi

he infamous shower scene. An unsuspecting Janet Leigh, a long sharp knife and blood tainted water swirling down a drain. It has been almost 30 years since Norman Bates terrorized his guests of The Bates Motel in Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." This year's remake has failed to live up to the Hitchcock classic. The new version of "Psycho," directed by Gus Van Sant, has the same dialogue and is almost scene for scene the same as the original. This remake even has the exact same music, but the talent that went into making Hitchcock's "Psycho" can never be replaced. But credit must be given to the actual creator of Norman Bates. Robert Bloch wrote "Psycho" in 1957 after mass murderer Ed Gein was arrested 40 miles from Bloch's home in Wisconsin. GeM was suspected of torturing and murdering 12 women from 1955-57. Bloch based Norman Bates on this real life psycho. Bloch finished the book in 1959 and sold the rights for $9,000. It was after the deal was final that he found out it was the famous director Alfred Hitchcock who bought "Psycho." The movie was released in 1960 and was a huge success. So why would anyone want to ny and fill the shoes of the legends who created the original "Psycho?" Well, a remake was made, and for those of you don't know the plot, here's a summary. Marion Crane steals a bundle of money from a client at her job of 10 years. She sets out to surprise her boyfriend Sam Loomis by helping him pay off his debts so they can get married. A dark rainy night forces her to pull over at The Bates Motel and stay the night. Of course Norman Bates welcomes her in

but she never checks out. A detective named Arbogast begins to dig around at the Bates Motel looking for Marion, and more importantly the money. But when Arbogast never returns, Marion's sister Lyla and boyfriend Sam check things out for themselves. They discover Norman's long kept secret of dual personalities. He is Nonmin, a shy young man, but he is also his mother, a spiteful old woman who destroys anyone threatening to take her son away from her. In the end it is the mother personality that completely takes Norman over, and turns him in for the murders. Attempting the role of Marion Crane, played by Janet Leigh in the original, is Anne Heche. She lacks the subtle acting style that made Leigh so believable, and her loud outrageous clothes are too much. Vince Vaughn plays the schizophrenic Norman, but doesn't come close to Anthony Perkins in the original. Vaughn does a decent job, but can't seem to get the nervous tick of Norman down. Julian Moore does a wonderful job as Marion's sister, Lyla. William H. Macy is also great as the doomed Detective Arbogast. The 1990s is quickly becoming the decade of the remakes. Hitchcock's "Rear Window," starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, was recently remade for television. And "Meet Joe Black," which is out in theaters now, was remade from "Death Takes a Holiday." Can't the new generation of entertainers come up with anything original? I see no point in remaking these classics, and I hope the remainder of Hitchcock's movies can be left alone. After all, who can top the master of suspense?

Fitness expert offers tips on ow to stay fit during the holidajts By Paula Love SWIIIMMIOP

he holiday season is upon us, and unfortunately so are those unwanted pounds. Whether it is Grandma's scrumptious pecan pie or the friendly gatherings with buffet tables that go one for miles, food is everywhere. This is when our selfdiscipline should kick in, said Stephanie McAuliff, aerobic coordinator of Pinnacle Fitness and Training, "With the pressure from the ending semester, many students are ready to relax and indulge in good food. "But they don't realize the effects it will have on them later." McAuliff offers the following ways to stay healthy and fit during the holiday season. • Eat what you want—in moderation! Go ahead and have a piece of pie, as long as it is not the whole pie. • Exercise. Studies show that exercising before you eat increases your metabolic activity. • Lower sodium and sugar intake. The more sugar you eat, the hungrier you will feel. • Drink a lot of water. By filling your body with fluids, you reduce hunger attacks and flush out your system. • Get plenty of rest. Most anxiety attacks occur when the body is worn down. You can avoid this by taking time to rest and relax.
