Dead Week tradition clings to life at UCO

he UCO 1999--2000 calendar calls Dec. 6 through Dec. 10, the week before finals, "Quiet Week."

This week. is also called "Dead Week."

However, Lynn Means, director of student activities, said she couldn't find any reference to "quiet" or "dead" week in the student handbook.

Traditionally, students are supposed to use this time to prepare for final exams.

"I think the purpose (of dead week) is so that students will have time to study for their finals and not be pressured to attend any activities," said Dr. Billye Hansen, general business

professor.

One UCO alumni reflects on Dead Week.

"I would go into 'junkie' mode right before and during finals," said Dave Selliman, 1996 UCO accounting major graduate.

"I would just sit on the floor and study for hours and hours. I wouldn't eat, sleep, shave, or anything."

The Alumni Office shares Selliman's philosophy of doing nothing but studying.

"Dead Week is all about students not doing anything," said Lisa Craddock, UCO coordinator of alumni events and alumni development.

"Dead Week is pretty dead–the way it should be," Craddock said.

he UCO Tenure and Promotion Task Force may not be following Oklahoma law in their faculty tenure policy meetings.

According to the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act, UCO may be breaking Oklahoma law by not posting prior notice for meeting times and not providing complete minutes of the meetings.

The statute requires all public body meetings by governing boards of state institutions of higher education to be open to the public. This includes written

notice required by Dec. 15 on the prior year to the Oklahoma Secretary of State.

In addition to filing regular public meetings to the Secretary of the State, the Oklahoma Open Meeting Act requires public body meetings to display public notice 24 hours prior to. meeting.

If a change in meeting times occur, written notice must be forwarded to the secretary 10 days in advance.

The tenure and task force was formulated by Dr. Don Betz, vice president of academic affairs, to draw-up a draft for policy changes in UCO faculty tenure and promotion.

Certain members of UCO colleges and committee members

representing the university are on the task force.

Dr. Kay Powers, UCO dean of math and science and tenure committee chairperson, said the meetings are held every other Tuesday each month.

She said the meetings are to "design new tenure and promotion policies for the university."

The meetings are not posted 24 hours prior to the meetings but she said that everybody knows when the meetings are held and that they are "no secret."

She said skeletal minutes are kept during the meeting which

The tradition is so strong that it has developed its own myths.

Some students believe that student organizations are not permitted to host any events during quiet week.

"That's what I've always heard since I've been at UCO," said Arin Jordan, sophomore nursing major.

And that myth is supported by university officials who discourage student functions.

"UCO discourages student organizations from having functions and/or required meetings during pre-finals or quiet week," said Jarrod Marcum-Noftsger, assistant to the vice president.

He said UCO recognizes the time before finals as a rigorous period where students are spending extra time reviewing and preparing for their final exams.

Officially, though, student

I want dead week!

—Arin Jordan Sophomore Nursing Major AMA organizations are permitted to hold activities during dead week.

"I will approve activities scheduled that week," Means said.

The myth of dead week can cause confusion in the expectations students have.

"I am a huge advocate of dead week," Jordan said.

"I want dead week!"

But some professors do not honor the tradition.

"What's the point of having dead week when professors are giving quizzes and teaching new material the week before finals?" Jordan said.

"Why don't we just take it off the calendar if some of the professors don't recognize it?"

Noftsger suggests each student exercise their own judgment in setting priorities during dead week and allow themselves ample time to prepare for exams.

Quiet week or dead week is a myth.

It is not officially recognized

by UCO, however, some campus leaders still enjoy the peace it brings.

"I don't know the history. I think it's because we're all so dead at the end of the semester that they're honoring all the professors and students for making it through another one!"

Hansen joked.

Textbooks disclaimer dispute evolves

By Ercilia Zolkiewicz

Staff triter its 88th Annual Technical Meeting held t Oklahoma City University Nov. 13, the Oklahoma Academy of Science (OAS) adopted two resolutions in response to the recent decision by t h e Oklahoma State Textbook Committee to a d d disclaimers about evolution to biology textbooks.

The first OAS resolution states, "We disagree with the action of the Oklahoma Textbook Committee to affix a disclaimer to any textbook."

The second resolution supports the organization's strong commitment to the theory of evolution.

"We affirm that the theory of evolution is the current best t

explanation for a large body of facts and that no other theory adequately explains these observations."

Area leaders agree with the OAS resolutions.

University Center.

"This is a chance for students and faculty to network together," said Barry Lofton, director of Multicultural Student Services.

According to Lofton, most of the time students just go to class, take notes and leave.

Studies have shown that students suffer when there is no connection between the student and the teacher, particularly in minorities.

Dr. Don Betz, vice president of Academic Affairs, expounded on the diversity on campus and quality of the faculty.

Dr. Judith Coe, Dean of College of Education, said she was amazed at the percentage of minorities in public schools in Oklahoma.

"Thirty-one percent of the students are minorities and 8 percent are teachers," Dr. Coe said.

"We need minority role models."

Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of Student Services, spoke on how networking can make a difference in life.

"Talk to people, get to know people," Gage said.

"It's not always what you know, but who you know also."

Attending the reception were faculty and staff from all of the UCO College of Education departments.

Many of the professors were introducing themselves to students and asking them about their major and future plans.

A faculty member even offered letters of recommendation if anyone was ever short a letter.

Members of Black Student Association, First American Student Association, and Hispanic American Student Association also attended the reception.

The room was decorated with Christmas decorations as Tyrone Stanley, graduate student, filled the, room with his singing and keyboard.

Guests dined on the spread of chicken wings, Swedish meatballs, hors d'oeuvres, cake and punch.

are basically a "summary" of the meeting.

"We don't have time to do that, it is a working meeting. We all know what's happening and we are all taking notes," Powers said.

"It's a meeting, it is a very informal working meeting. We are editing and drafting documents, and is really not set up to be a free-for-all."

Powers said all faculty members should know what is going on in the meetings because of the faculty representatives in the task force.

The administration hand picked members from each UCO college to represent the rest of the faculty.

"There has been a lot of faculty input on this, and there are faculty representatives on the task force who are taking recommendations from the rest of the faculty," she said.

"I think the burden of proof would be on the university administration to show some reason to why they are not covered by the open meetings act."

TEXT BOOKS Continued from page 2 evolution based upon current facts collected by reputable scientists," said Dr. Jim Bidlack, associate professor of biology.

Bidlack also agrees with Batchelder.

"Putting a disclaimer about evolution in biology texts seems about as rational as putting a disclaimer in the Bible about the Creation," Bidlack said.

"The general public should be given the freedom to read what they want and make their own interpretation without interference from others," he said.

Bidlack believes evolution is the best explanation that scientists have, based on facts, to explain how living organisms change over long periods of time.

The National Science Teachers Association, the National Association of Biology Teachers, and the National Science Education Leadership Association have also rejected teaching creationism in public schools.

"This is an issue that comes up every few years," said Dr. David Bass, OAS president and UCO professor of biology.

Still, there may be hope for future agreements between evolution and creationism.

"As scientists gather more information, there just may be a day that scientists and creationists can mutually explain the unity and diversity of life," Bidlack said.

He demonstrated the mistake by massaging a small dollop of baby oil onto a condom covered phallus.

Within seconds, the condom was in tatters, draped in tangled pieces over the plastic penis.

"That's a risk — a big risk," said Labetta Wallenmeyer, director of the Student Health Center.

"You can't be 100 percent positive that you're not going to become infected just because the man wears a condom. That doesn't mean you can't come down with genital warts or herpes."

Still, using a condom can prevent several serious diseases, including AIDS. And knowing how to properly use a condom is important, Irving said.

He suggested the following technique: 1. Slide the condom to the back of the package.

2. Tear the top of the package open and gently remove the condom.

3. Ensure the condom is facing the correct way and will roll down the penis naturally without being forced.

4. Add a water based lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly, if desired.

5. Place over the penis, leaving a small space at the tip for the deposit of sperm after ejaculation.

"Not leaving a space at the tip is probably the number one reason for condom breakage," Irving said.

Partners should avoid further sexual contact until both have washed their sex organs and all other areas that have come in contact with bodily fluids.

When used correctly, and with a spermicide, condoms are about 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy and slightly less than 90 percent effective in preventing STDs, according to American College Health Association (ACHA) studies.

Although it is important for men to be versed on the proper use of a condom, it is equally important for women to know how to use them, Irving said.

Of the numerous STDs, those bacterial in nature can be treated and cured with antibiotics and various chemicals. Those viral in nature either have no cure or require long term treatment, which may offer

Students can purchase 12 condoms for $2.50 and receive free advice about sex.

The Student Health Center does provide HIV testing but charges $45; and the test must be performed twice to compensate for the virus's incubation period.

Free testing is conducted by The Wesley Foundation, a nonprofit organization located near UCO. For more information call the AIDS hotline, 1-800-4052732; or the Wesley Foundation offices, 495-1226.

The 1908 residence located at 607 North Boulevard has been donated to UCO by Edmond businessman Jim White and his wife, Mary.

The recently restored home will make "a splendid President's residence, thanks to the Whites' generosity," said UCO president W. Roger Webb in a recent press release.

"Jim and Mary have found a lasting expression of their commitment to education and the community," Webb said.

The Whites' were happy to contribute to UCO's connection to Edmond.

"We have loved living in this home as we renovated it," Mary White said, "but when we finished restoring the property, we felt that it should be more than just a private residence.

We wanted it to become part of the community."

Since it is a historical home, Webb believes that it will become a repository of period furniture and art work which will be donated to the university.

"As the oldest institution of higher education in Oklahoma, we feel a special connection to historical artifacts and memorabilia. This stunning new presidential residence will eventually become a living museum for items which tie back to Central's earliest days," Webb said.

The search for the perfect Christmas tree

O

n Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, my family made our annual tree-buying trip.

No artificial trees in my house. It has to be the 'real' thing.

Buying a tree with me is no easy task. Just ask any member of my family ... including my parents and brothers in Louisiana.

My tree has to be perfect.

Not too short, not too tall, not too sparse, and not to full. It has to be just right.

When we lived in Louisiana, buying a tree was a whole day event, starting early—real early—in the morning and ending when the sun was setting.

I woke my family at sunrise and rushed them to get dressed, eat breakfast as I packed our picnic lunch before loading into the car.

Then it was an hour and a half drive to the 20-acre tree farm.

I had to inspect each and every tree before selecting "the one."

And it never ceased to amaze us that the perfect tree always had the perfect red ant pile at the base of the trunk.

My husband would cut down the tree and the tree farm personnel would blow the ants and dead needles out of the tree and put it into the back of our truck. Then we would all climb back into the truck for the ride home, singing Christmas songs the whole way.

After we arrived home, my husband would stand the tree up in the garage overnight claiming it was too late and he was too tired to do much else.

Saturday morning he would bring the tree into the house and while he decorated the outside of our home, the kids and I decorated the tree.

When we moved to Oklahoma, the tree farm trip ceased, and the tree buying expedition shrunk to a halfday excursion.

But nothing else has changed.

Ask my family.

"Mom, what about this

"How about this one?" my younger daughter suggested, pointing to a tree.

tree.

"My gosh," she said, turning to look at me.

"I'm turning into you. I spent the whole morning searching for a tree ... and enjoying myself in the search."

My husband approached about that time and nodded his head in approval of our choice.

"Looks good," he said looking at me. "You've found a great tree again this year."

"Not me," I told him smiling.

"Then who?" he asked.

"Me," my older daughter said with pride in her voice.

"After all, I am my mother's daughter."

We paid for the tree and headed home.

My husband carried the tree into the house and set it up.

The next day as we were decorating it, my younger daughter looked at me.

"Next year, I'm going to find the perfect tree," she declared.

I don't doubt she will.

"Condition" prevents tailback from NCAA hardship

By Trent Dugas

StaIfitfriter

T

ie UCO Bronchos' tailback Reggie Donner, who suffered a season ending injury in the fifth game of this season, is not eligible to receive a hardship from the NCAA. According to the NCAA, a hardship is defined as "an incapacity resulting from an injury or illness that has occurred" under certain "conditions."

Donner could play one more year at UCO if he was eligible for the hardship.

The "conditions" are what restricts Donner from becoming a possible applicant.

The NCAA "conditions" state that a student athlete's injury has to be in the first half of the football

season including the NCAA championship.

Donner received his season ending injury during the sixth game of the season. Even with 1999's championship game included, Donner played in over half of UCO's 11 games.

A student athlete must not participate in more than two events or 20 percent of UCO's completed events in the participating sport.

Donner carried the ball over 30 times in the first game before pulling his hamstring.

He then skipped the second and third game, ran two plays in the fourth and ten plays in the fifth.

During UCO's homecoming game, Donner suffered knee damage after two plays.

An NCAA Membership Services Department employee said eligibility is not based on

plays during the season but is based on the number of games in the season.

"We break down to the number of contests, not the number of plays," the NCAA employee said.

"He could have a hundred carries in the first game and one carry in the next game and one carry in the third game and that would still make over two games that he played in."

The employee said if Donner played in more than two games then he is not eligible. Donner played in four games.

But the employee also said there is nothing wrong with submitting the request for Donner's hardship and the worst thing that can happen is the NCAA review board denies it.

UCO football coach Gary Howard said the incident with Donner is an "unfortunate thing" but injuries are a part of the game.

"If we could get him a hardship we would but I don't think he would qualify for it," Howard said.

Howard said unless something changes in Donner's situation, he sees no reason to submit an application for Donner's hardship.

Diana Frank, UCO's NCAA academic compliance advisor, said Coach Howard is the person who initiates the application, then it goes to her office and then goes to Athletic Director John Wagnon.

She said Wagnon then sends the application to the NCAA review

committee at the Lone Star Division Conference.

Fred Jacoby, commissioner of the NCAA Lone Star Division Conference, said the facts to Dormer's case seem to point in the direction of no hardship.

"If Donner's case would be submitted, based on NCAA's guidelines, we would have to

regretfully decline," Jacoby said.

He said Donner would be able to appeal to the NCAA but the appeal would have to be based on circumstances beyond the control of the student.

During the review process, the NCAA does look in detail at the circumstances involved with a hardship request.

Last chance...

Reader disheartened by Miss Hispanic UCO am writing in reference to the column in the Vista about Miss Hispanic UCO a couple of week ago.

I was pleased to hear that we now have a Miss Hispanic UCO but was disheartened when I read one of her comments.

She commented that it was lame for any Hispanic person to not know Spanish.

/

I am half Hispanic and don't know Spanish. I was not raised around my father and did not have the opportunity to learn to speak it.

I am not ashamed of being Hispanic and take classes to learn Spanish and about my culture.

It saddens me to think we have someone as a role model who pre-judges people she doesn't know.

We've Got

Ball

I was considering joining HASA but now will not.

A role model like that is not a group I want any part of.

I would like her to know her comment was not appreciated and was offensive.

Does the horizon look bleak for society, come January 1, 2000, because of Y2K computer problems?

With computers being an integral part of life, 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 1999 will probably be one of the most anticipated moments in human history.

We are so dependent upon computers, if the worst happens due to Y2K, society will feel the blow.

Anything is possible and to believe otherwise is foolish.

Our own United States Government is not taking any chances.

President Bill Clinton passed Executive Orders 12919 and 13010 which will give the government the ability to pass Martial Law in case of severe Y2K problems.

Martial law switches the power from the government to the military and puts the Federal Emergency Management Agency in charge.

Our country could resemble the likes of China and its dictatorship rule and internal military power.

With Clinton's past, can we trust him to make a decision that will affect society as we know it?

Probably not.

Let us all hope the Y2K situation is only deception and not reality.
