UCOSA bill separating church and state delayed

By Stacy Brasher StudentWriter onday, the UCOSA Senate adjourned its final meeting for the semester, but voted to carry over two bills to the Spring 1999 legislative session in order to allow more time for committee meetings.

The first bill, a House of Representatives' concurrent resolution, calls for the creation of a tenant recourse system for UCO apartment and housing facilities.

The second bill was ...no student activity introduced to the Senate on Monday and concerns the money shall be separation of church and appropriated or state as applied to campus donated by ...(UCOSA) organizations and their to any organization for funding.

Both bills are expected to ... books, documents, be up for vote when the or any other published Senate reconvenes Monday, material that pertains Jan. 18.

The first bill, providing to any religion or for a tenant recourse system, specific religious belief. will be proposed by the Senate Housing committee, —Proposed UCOSA which was formed Nov. 23 to Senate Bill evaluate the current maintenance program in UCO's apartment and housing systems.

Problems were revealed three weeks ago by Rep. John Sellers (Liberal Arts), a former resident of the apartments.

Sellers' proposed bill recommended one-third of all funds received from fees submitted to UCO for rental payments be placed in an account to directly aid tenants' maintenance needs.

Sellers' legislation also provided a timeline of no longer than two calendar months for maintenance problems to be investigated and properly addressed.

The resolution was to be voted on Nov. 23; however, after Senator Nicholas Harrison proposed a substantial amount of amendments, the Senate voted to appoint a committee to further investigate the matter.

Harrison's amendments excluded all numerical figures regarding money or time restraints and would have allowed the university more leeway than Sellers' proposal.

The bill which involves the procedures for religious organizations receiving student activity fee money, was sent to the Rules Committee Monday after questions were raised concerning the current standing of the separation of church and state at the campus and state level.

The bill stated that "no student activity money shall be appropriated or donated by the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association (UCOSA) to any organization for ... books, documents, or any other published material that pertains to any religion or specific religious belief."

It also stated that "tracts or other communication paraphernalia"

$2.5 million allocated for repairs

By Jarrod Briley StudentWriter

T

wo and a half million dollars was recently allocated to UCO by the Oklahoma Board of Regents, to be spent on maintenance and repairs throughout the campus.

"One and a half million will be spent on repairs at Old North, $500,000 on repairs of equipment at UCO's physical plant and $500,000 on general repairs," said Judy Wallar, administrative assistant to the vice president of administration.

Repairs of Old North will include historical restoration of the stoops, testing for asbestos and replacement of faulty wiring, Wallar said.

The physical plant will use the money to update existing equipment, Wallar said.

Wallar added that the remaining money would be used for such projects as electrical upgrades in the Liberal Arts Building, the construction of new storage facilities and other general maintenance projects.

No official date has been set for the renovations to begin. However, Wallar said construction and repairs would likely begin sometime during the spring semester.

ootball, basketball, soccer, track and such get all the attention of sports fans while one element of UCO sports seems to continually be ignored There's two groups of athletes who work all year to participate in every sporting event—the cheerleaders and the porn pon squad.

These girls work and train constantly so that they are able to be at sporting events of all kinds all year. They tumble, do stunts, backflips, jumps and routines that would put many untrained people in the hospital.

But, the physical demands are only part of their jobs. Whether the team on the field or court is winning or loosing, the cheerleaders and porn pon squad have to keep the crowd involved and keep the other athletes motivated.

The UCO girls cheered the Broncho football team to the Lone Star Conference and beyond. They'll do the same for the basketball teams, the wrestlers and all the others.

For doing what they do, and doing it so well, we would like to take this opportunity to say "Thank you" to the UCO cheerleaders and pom pon squad. < Pujan Roka /The Vista

UCOSA Continued from front page pertaining to religious matters would also be a misuse of such funds.

Many senators questioned the bills "open-ended" nature and by a vote of 50-3, the legislation was sent to committee for further investigation of state and campus laws.

Those opposing its passage wondered whether it was even legal to appropriate any funding to religious organizations at all.

In the past, no religious or political organization has received funding from UCOSA, according to UCOSA Senate President Pro Tempore Jarrett Jobe.

Other senators opposed to the bill cited that not only religious organizations would be affected, but that any organization wishing to acquire materials pertaining to religious philosophies could be restrained.

The next UCOSA Senate meeting will be 1 p.m.

Monday, Jan. 18 in the Troy Smith Lecture Hall.

eaching Macbeth," an English intersession course on the methods of teaching Shakespeare, will be offered again during the spring semester.

The class was offered during the fall semester for the first time at UCO and was very successful, said Dr. Sandra Mayfield, professor of English.

Mayfield is the designer and teacher of the course.

"Designed as a practical approach to teaching Macbeth in the secondary schools, it highlights the "performance" method of teaching Shakespeare," Mayfield said.

Students are encouraged to actively participate with the Macbeth play by doing activities, such as saying the lines, acting out scenes, preparing scripts for amateur productions and designing sets.

This method was popularized by Michael Tolyado and Peggy O'Brien. Tolyado and O'Brien were. scholars that were part of a National Endowment for the Humanities project at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington,

Students create compositions using blends of electronics and acoustics

By Julie Jordan StaMiter

S

ix UCO student composers will present their musical works at "...and music came out of the box..." at 8 p.m. on Dec. 14 in Mitchell Hall Theater.

The works, which are a combination of electronic and acoustic music, were all composed in the UCO Computer Music Studio under the guidance of Dr. Sam Magrill, director of the UCO Composers' Ensemble.

Magrill said this is the eleventh year the student composers' concert has gone on.

"The idea of `...and music came out of the box...' was derived from my opera 'Paradise of Children and the Gremlins who Stole It,â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Magrill said.

A second source for the title of the concert was literally a box, or a computer.

The students composed the music on the computer and made music come out of them, Magrill

said.

Several of the student composers will also be playing in "Paradise of Children and the Gremlins Who Stole It" at 8 p.m. on Dec. 10 in Mitchell Hall.

Magrill, who joined the UCO music faculty 10 years ago, was recently listed in the 1998 edition of "Outstanding Young Men of America." He won several awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

Graduate student and UCO staff accompanist, since 1994, J. Gawf will present a piano piece titled "Untitled" and a tape piece titled "Catacombs." Junior music education major Joseph Gillian will present an electric bass piece titled "Dots and Ties," and a tape piece titled "Groovy Ditty."

Graduate student Vicki Walker will perform a vocal and piano pieces titled "God's Child" and "Lullaby for Adia."

Amanda McGinnis, a senior piano performer, will perform a

Sam Magrill percussion pieces titled "Rainstorm" and "Beans and Popcorn."

Milena Govich, a senior majoring in vocal performance and pre-med, will perform a violin piece, and a tape piece titled "The Abyss," and senior music major Jeff Ketch will perform "Sonata #1" on bass.

The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the UCO music office at 974,5004.

"Paradise..." second libretto for Magrill and Osterhaus

By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy

Staff

U

CO's music department will premiere its second opera this year at 8 p.m., Dec. 10-12 and 2 p.m., Dec. 13 at the Mitchell Hall Theater.

The opera "Paradise of Children and the Gremlins Who Stole It," is an adaptation from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "A Wonder Book," which tells the story of Greek Mythology to children.

Eustace Bright, a young college student tells a group of children a story. Set in the winter of 1851 in Tanglewood, Mass., he tells the children the story of "Pandora's Box." The libretto was written by Dr. Samuel Magrill, UCO professor of music, Carveth Osterhaus, director of UCO's Music Theater Department, and Kay Creed, director of Opera Theater.

Creed was formerly with the New York City Opera and other major opera companies for 25 years.

She performed with major symphony orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and Philadelphia Orchestra. She also made a solo

appearance in Carnegie Hall, New York.

Osterhaus wrote the libretto for "Medea" which won the Rockefeller Competition.

Among his other accomplishments he created the original choreography for the offBroadway hit "The Drunkard," by Barry Manilow.

"Paradise of Children and the Gremlins Who Stole It" is their second venture together since the performance of their first opera "The Gorgon's Head," earlier this year.

"The Gorgon's Head" is now available in CD at the University Book Store, Barnes and Noble and other music stores in Edmond.

"These are the first operas to premiere at UCO and in Edmond," Magrill said.

"I hope that Edmond becomes a center for opera and become more exciting to people."

The opera will also feature performances from 25 student artists, children, music faculty and a 35 piece orchestra.

Admission is free for UCO students with a valid student ID. General admission is $8 per person, $5 for seniors and $4 for students from other colleges and universities.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mitchell Hall Theater. For more information, contact 974-3375.

A few changes in study habits can relieve finals week stresses

By Julie Jordan

StaWriter

F

inal exams are here again and before you bite your fingernails till they bleed and order a large pepperoni pizza for yourself, take a deep breath and check out these helpful hints on how to avoid unnecessary stress.

It is easy to let the stress of final exams build until even the most structured students are ready to give in. But with a

few minor changes in your study habits, you should have plenty of time to study for finals.

The following suggestions are not a solution to the pre-exam jitters, but just some ideas to get you on the right track.

1. Make a list of all exams and what dates you have to take them.

2. Start early. Don't wait until the last night and try to cram for four or five tests.

Break it up over several days and study for one test a night.

3. Turn the TV off. Even if your favorite rerun of "Sniveled" is on, remember your grades are more important.

4. Just say no to friends. If they come knocking and want you to accompany them to the nearest McDonalds, politely tell them to get lost.

5. Avoid interruptions. Stay in your bedroom with the door locked. If the phone rings, let the answering machine get it.

6. Sit at a desk or table. Clear the pi, of dirty laundry off your desk, and study, 7. Stay focused and keep a goal mind. The goal is to end the semest1 with great grades so you don't have move to a small village in Africa to hic from your parents.

Unfortunately, final exams are a part every college students' life. So instead ripping your hair out strand by stran make a few changes to get through fina' week as stress free as possible.

Counterculture of the spirit: School celebrates 30 years of applied mysticism

By Richard Scheinin

Knight-Ridder SAN FRANCISCO - Robert McDermott is president of the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, the largest accredited institution in the U.S. to offer graduate studies in what some might call the counterculture of the spirit.

CIIS has just celebrated its thirtieth anniversary; almost anyone who's been a part of that

counterculture, from Alan Watts to Joseph Campbell and Ram Dass, has walked through its hallways or contributed to the school's development.

The CIIS faculty tries to integrate the worlds of myth and Jungian psychology, of Sufism and Kabbalah and Christian mysticism, of Eastern and Western paths by which seekers access "non-ordinary" states of consciousness.

CIIS operates four

psychological counseling clinics in San Francisco, offers online doctoral studies, and has earned the respect of an international community of scholars. The CIIS students who pursue degrees in psychology, anthropology, women's spirituality, or a variety of other courses of study, are of like mind on this point: That the veil separating the physical world and the spiritual realm is not so thick as most people assume.

There is something more than what the conscious mind perceives, McDermott, 59, says, "and we are the forefront of the something more parade."

They may be sales people, engineers, teachers, whatever else. But they are interested in another dimension. They're looking for something more.

Interestingly enough, that's a phrase that William James uses in "The Varieties of Religious Experience." All the people he

studied, they all affirmed there "something more." There experience, experienc, experience. There's ordinal, experience, and then there, something more.

Now, those people who al looking for "something more it turns out, are quite As school, we were very very sma for a long time. Now we're thousand students. That getting to be a critical mass c people.

SportsWriter CO basketball season is in has taken off for both men's and women's teams. Both teams competed against Tarleton State and Midwestern State in the past week.

On December 3, the Bronchos' team won 105-93 and the women's team squeaked by 5451 to sweep TSU. On December 5, both teams fell to Midwestern State. The men lost to undefeated Midwestern 118-103. The women suffered tough loss 73-63.

"They (MSU) are a good basketball team. We were down 1 with 1:40 left and with 1:06 they hit a three pointer to win it by three," said women's Head Coach John Keely.

Bronchos' star Eddie Robinson led Broncho scoring in both games, knocking down 27 against TSU and 25 against MSU. He hit 12 of 20 and 8 of 17 respectively.

Robinson blocked three shots per game. Robinson was the only UCO player to have any blocks in either game.

The Bronchos hit an average of 47.6 and 44.2 percent of all shots in the two games. In the TSU game the Bronchos sent 10 of 24 balls through the

bucket from beyond the threepoint line for an average of 41.7 percent.

Antonio Sykes, James Turner, DeAndre Harris, and Dante Harris backed up the Bronchos scoring .

Courtney Berry led the women's scoring 17 against TSU and 21 against MSU. Berry also had two steals against TSU and a block against MSU. Berry had 8 and 6 rebounds respectively in the games to lead the Bronchos.

"She (Berry) is playing up to our expectations. She is playing really good right now," Keely said .

Berry is backed up by Ami Guffy, Kelly Parker, and Keri Smith. Guffy took the ball away from the opponent two times in the TSU game and another time in the MSU game. Parker and Smith combined for 20 points in the games to help the Bronchos on their way. Parker is the assist leader in the Lone Star Conference.

"We are tickled to death to be were we are right now," Keely said.

The Bronchos' men play December 10 at Central Arkansas, and the women play again December 11-12 at the Cameron Classic.

efore the semester is over, experience the variety of UCO artistic styles displayed in the Graduating Art Students' Fall Exhibit 1998, Nov. 29—Dec. 18 in the Central Museum of Art and Design.

Photography, jewelry, furniture, paintings, and sculptures are among the many artworks displayed at the exhibit.

"The show is diverse and may be complicated to some audiences, but a lot of different values are represented," said William Wallo, associate professor of visual arts and design.

"The only thing that restricts the work is space itself."

The exhibit is a graduation requirement for seniors majoring in art. Wallo calls the exhibit a "capstone experience."

A major part of the exhibit is that the students created their own displays, Wallo said.

"It teaches them what it's like to hang them under space restrictions. It's like putting words for the first time into a sentence," Wallo said.

The students were also responsible fcr creating, hanging, and framing their artwork.

Depending upon size, a minimum of 8 10 artworks was required for each student Wallo said.

The exhibit contains artwork of 14 ar seniors in graphic design, graphic arts photography art, art education, an formation arts.

The seniors are: • Soo-Yeon Choi • Russell Dozier • Marcus Eakers • Lee-Ling EE • Bryan Ellison • Sonia M. Gharib • Bridgett L. King • Shelli Goodwin • Tomoaki Orikasa • Casey Peters • Laura Rice • Clint Stone • Ya-Wen Tsai • Amy Varner Many of the artworks are for sale.

"It's close to Christmas and some of thei prices are reasonably priced," Wall( added.

Cubans recommend recognizing Christmas

By Juan 0. Tamayo

s

Knight-Ridder aying that the Cuban Revolution never had "an anti-religious spirit," the island's Communist Party recommended Tuesday that the government give Cubans an annual day off for Christmas for the first time since 1969.

Cubans had started to prepare for the holiday even before the announcement, buying trees and decorations and jamming state shops that had cut prices 30 percent last week in anticipation of the festivities.

Roman Catholic Church officials in Havana and the Vatican hailed the decision by the Communists' top body, the Political Bureau, explained in a communique that took up the entire front page of the party newspaper Granma.

"Although Christians in Cuba never stopped celebrating this event, reestablishing the ... holiday is an act that does justice to our basic Christian culture,

recognizes the purest religious sentiments of Cubans and reaffirms our traditions," a church statement said in Havana.

"The church appreciates ... this gesture and expresses its full confidence that the road for Cuba's opening to the world will result in happiness, unity and hope for the Cuban people," the statement said.

The Vatican's secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, expressed "satisfaction" with the decision but pointedly noted that Cuban Catholics "have been waiting years for this gesture."

President Fidel Castro abolished the paid Christmas holiday in 1969, in the middle of a sugar harvest he said required all hands at work.

He had declared his government officially communist and atheist seven years earlier.

Castro decreed Christmas Day a national holiday last year, with most Cubans allowed to miss work, responding to a Vatican request as Pope John Paul II prepared for his historical visit in January :4

lthough small in numbers, UCO's student bike officers make their presence felt around campus and perform a necessary function for Department of Public Safety (DPS).

Many people have seen them riding around campus buildings, even stopping to chat with a few students on the way.

However, their role on campus has more to do with public relations than anything else. The student officers represent the DPS and help create a positive public image of the police department.

A lot of the PR work consists of unlocking vehicle doors when the keys are locked inside, jump-starting cars, changing tires, and safely escorting students to their vehicles or dorms during the night.

They also provide security during special events, for visiting dignitaries, and during sporting events. They keep people away from barricades, direct traffic during graduation time, and serve as campus "watchdogs."

"The student officers have to be able to handle the public, media, students, faculty and staff in a positive way," said Officer Jeff Morefield.

"They also have to be able to foresee safety hazards. They're our other set of eyes and ears on this campus."

- Morefield, a 23-year-old senior criminal justice major, has been with the DPS for three years, and is now certified to carry a firearm.

To be eligible for the officer program, students will first have to go through a background check for any criminal

record. Students also need to be fulltime with at least 12 hours of classes.

They need to be able to communicate efficiently with superiors and other officers, as well as have good radio communication skills.

"I do this job so I can be out and about and meet people. With all the interactions with different people, it develops your social skills," said officer Jason Harris, junior political science major.

Harris, an international student from the United Kingdom, is also the president of the European Student Association, the International Student Council, and Pi Sigma Alpha.

"Being in law enforcement teaches you more about the system here and makes you respect police work. It's also something good to put on your résumé," he said.

Through the Field Training Officer program, trainees are allowed to follow officers in the field to get on the job practical experience.

Certified student bike officers do not carry weapons.

They are however, trained to perform various activities while riding a bike and have to complete 32 hours of certified training.

They learn ways of getting to places fast, how to deal with suspects, how to maneuver in confined spaces, and how to chase people over all kinds of terrain on bike.

"You have to be able to handle emergencies and make split second decisions," Morefield said.

"There are 14,000 people on this campus. For the safety and comfort of those people, a police department is required and nothing less will do." <

Abortion stickers sticky subject with student

A

lyson Glass is angry.

She is mad at prolife people who use their vehicles as a rolling billboard to promote their ideas in offensive and sometimes disgusting ways.

"I get so sick of being behind those pro-life cars with their stickers," Alyson said. "I feel like they're trying to dictate my life."

Alyson, a 25-year-old senior at UCO, is single, with no children. She's never had an abortion, but she feels if the need arose, the decision to have an abortion or not is something that should be hers alone.

"If you can't trust me with a choice, then how can you trust me with a baby," she said.

Alyson went on to say that she feels a lot of pro-life people are simply on a powertrip.

"If they really cared about the child, they would offer to take care of it," she said.

The radicals of the pro-life movement are acting in a way Alyson feels is detrimental to society.

"They have a negative effect on citizens as a whole because they're so extreme. They're bombing and killing doctors at abortion

there are many pro-life people who are doing good things in a way that is not offensive.

"It's like Christianity," Alyson said. "There are Biblethumpers and there are people who live their lives like they believe they should."

Alyson said the average offensive pro-life person is likely to be a female, in her late 30s or early 40s.

"They're the kind of person who is more likely to stay home, whether there's a kid involved or not.

They're more of a Neanderthal kind."

Those are harsh words aimed at people who claim they simply want to save the lives of innocent, unborn children. Alyson justifies her position by pointing out the kind of messages such people put on their cars.

"Stickers can carry it way clinics too far," she said. "Some of instead of calmly talking to people," she said.

Not everyone opposed to abortion falls into Alyson's category of radicals. She said

Alyson isn't convinced that abortion kills.

"No matter how many things you read, there is no determination of when life really begins."

And, whether a woman decides to abort an unborn child or not, Alyson said it isn't the business of any other person.

"The King Stag" receives Directors Choice Award

By Angel Riggs

StudentWriter

T

he UCO theater department's production of "The King Stag" received the Director's Choice Award during the Nov. 5-7 Oklahoma Festival II, Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival, held in Tulsa.

"It's a very elaborate judging system to ensure fairness," said Dr. Robert McGill, associate professor of theater arts.

If selected by a panel at the Oklahoma

Festival II, the play could be performed at the Texas Women's University in Denton, Texas, during the regional competition.

Four faculty members and four students were also presented awards at the festival.

The faculty awards went to Douglas Getzoff, associate professor of theater arts, was honored for Excellence in Technical Load In and Out; Robert Pittenridge, costume designer, was honored for Excellence in Costume Design; Dr. Jim Watson, professor of

visual art and design, was awarded for Excellence in Program Design; and Dr. Roberta Sloan, theater arts professor and chairwoman, was honored with the Excellence in Workshop Participation Award.

Students awards were presented to Lee Brasuell, senior theater arts major, was honored for Excellence in Scenic Design; Lisa Lasky, junior theater arts major, and Emily Dake, freshman theater arts major, were awarded the Irene Ryan Acting Award; and Lauren Mustain, sophomore

theater arts major, received the Excellence in Acting Award.

The drama department annually enters the contest and advanced to regional competition last year, McGill said.

"UCO has quite a distinguished record of achievement."

"The King Stag" was performed at UCO Oct. 28-31.

Future productions of the UCO drama department include "The Cherry Orchard," March 4-7, and "Appointment with Death," April 29- May 2.

Youthful rebellion ain't what it used to be

A

sorority girl hefting a backpack adorned with Phish and Bob Dylan patches walked across campus the other day. Her outfit consisted of a GAP shirt, Tommy Hilfiger black highheeled shoes, an Abercrombie and Fitch hat, and black tights.

I shook my head.

An interesting paradox has emerged in 1990s youth culture: rebellion via conformity. Corporate America has directed our natural tendencies to rebel into consumerism, and we've let it.

Thus, teenagers and 20somethings are straying way from activism and the useful rebellion in which their parents engaged during the 1960s.

What is consumer rebellion anyway?

To understand it, you have to look at the activists of the '60s, who fought for world change via peaceful protests. They set out to conquer the world and to

radically alter the greatest on her chest. Her Phish and government on Earth. Their Bob Dylan badges were a notsuccess may not have been so-successful effort to absolute, but the resonance still symbolize her dedication to is felt today. non-mainstream society and its No doubt that was useful ideals.

those things will set them apart from everyone else.

Ironically, they're not rebelling against anything, but they are indeed conforming.

After all, goods often thought to be outside the mainstream are everywhere. Rap music thrives in upper class, white, suburban neighborhoods.

Grateful Dead T-shirts are absolutely everywhere - even Asian rice farmers are wearing them. Virgin Megastores carry every Phish CD. Even corporate lawyers sport Bob Dylan bumper stickers on the backs of their cars. Hemp is no longer underground. It's an industry.

Marketing tells people that these goods are outside the mainstream - a ploy designed to make young people feel they're exercising their freedom of choice and expression when they buy them - and we fall for it. One contemporary song makes fun

of us: "They buy a bottle of rebellion ... buy a bottle of nonconformity," it says.

Thomas Jefferson once said "a little rebellion now and then is a good thing." But is today's consumer rebellion what he envisioned? Perhaps he saw us fighting one of the most corrupt presidents in history. Or the censorship that abounds in middle schools and high schools these days. Or a justice system that allows criminals to walk free. Or loggers who will ensure that rain forests are gone in our lifetimes. Or the corner of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, center of the "Summer of Love," and the symbol of the 1960s countercultural rebellion - a corner that now has a Ben and Jerry's ice cream shop and a GAP. © College Press Exchange, 1998
