Contract change may cause custodial lay-offs by Timber Massey tn@thevistaonline.com Charles Johnson, University Relations news bureau director, said UCO will enter into an agreement with a new custodial company, called Aramark, on Jan. 1 upon approval of The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. An employee of UCO's current custodial service, Witt, Fiala, Flannery and Associates

(WFF) who wished to remain unnamed, said that WFF employees will be terminated on Dec. 31. The WFF employee said the custodians may have to apply for unemployment if they are not hired with Aramark. The employee added that they fear they may lose vacation time and have their hourly wages decreased if they are hired. Faculty and staff members at UCO have raised concerns over

UCO Professor serves on Henry's transition team by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline. corn Gayle Miles-Scott, UCO assistant accounting professor, has joined a team of prominent Oklahomans working to make the transition from the Keating administration to the Henry administration a smooth one. State Treasurer Robert Butkin, transition team chief, called Miles-Scott Nov. 21 and asked her if she would be willing to serve as a member of the informal advisory panel that would forward its recommendations to Governor-elect Brad Henry. Henry will be inaugurated on Jan. 13 at the state capitol. "He just said the governorelect would be honored if I would serve on his team and I told him I would be honored to serve,"

Miles-Scott said of the phone call from Butkin. "It's an opportunity to help the state of Oklahoma become better for all of us, financially, economically." Public service is in her blood. Miles-Scott's sister, who was a state legislator, is now a federal judge in Oklahoma County. Both of her parents are retired educators. Miles-Scott said they were proud of her when they heard the news. She said she hopes she can help keep college graduates in Oklahoma. Miles-Scott said she has questions about state budgeting practices and economic research methods and improved fiscal

Survey reports that young Americans are lost in the world by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.corn In the post-Sept. 11 world of the Information Age, more Americans age 18-24 know where "Survivor Island" is located on a map than Afghanistan, according to the results of a National Geographic Society survey. The National GeographicRoper Global Geographic Literacy Survey polled 3,250 young adults and a slightly older comparison group in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Great Britain, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy and Japan. Respondents in Germany, Sweden and Italy ranked highest. Those in the United States, Canada and Great Britain ranked lowest. Young adults in the United States finished next to last, just ahead of respondents in Mexico. On average, young Americans answered 23 out of 56 questions correctly. More Americans than others were unaware that the Taliban and al-Qaida were based in Afghanistan. They also had trouble finding France, the United Kingdom and Japan on a map.

Graduate, transfer students to benefit from Wellness Center after graduation by Dara Lawless dl@thevistaonline.com UCO graduates or transfers leaving campus before the Wellness Center opens will receive free membership for as many semesters as they paid fees, said Charlie Johnson, UCO news bureau director. The $2.30 Wellness Center fee was first added to the student facility fee in the 2000 spring semester, he said. Johnson said the free memberships will be effective immediately after the center opens. How the memberships will be distributed or verified is uncertain at this time, he said. UCO students enrolled in the spring 2003 semester will have access to the center as soon as it opens, he said. The individual faculty and staff membership fee is estimated at $22 per month Johnson said.

Johnson said the Wellness Center will include a fitness area with tread mills, upright and recumbent bikes, stair steppers, rowing machines and a rubberized indoor track. There will be separate areas for cardiovascular workouts with TV sets and strength training offering plated-loaded machines and free weights, Johnson said. Johnson said there will also be an aerobics room with a suspended wooden floor to minimize impact and three full length courts, two indoor, one outdoor, for basketball and volleyball. - A juice bar serving health drinks and a pro shop to buy sports paraphernalia will be also available, he said. The Student Health Center, relocating to the new facility, will be equipped with four exam rooms, a lab, a pharmacy and a waiting area covering approximately 2,000 square feet, Johnson said.

Minor construction delays and the holidays have postponed the Wellness Center's anticipated January opening to sometime between February 15 and March 1 he said. David Stapleton, director of UCO Architectural and Engineering Services, said administrative decisions such as adding laundry facilities were part of the opening setback to mid-February. "With a project of this size, that's not unreasonable," he said. Stapleton said administration would move in, sound and security systems would be installed and furniture and sports equipment in place Jan. 15. Construction should be complete Jan. 31 he said. Stapleton said the Wellness Center remains within the $9.2 million budget provided by a revenue. bond funded with student fees.

A UCO student needs a $250,000 bone marrow transplant, said Yin Hwee, president of Malaysian Student Association (MSA). Her intent is to see that he gets it, with the help of MSA and anyone else she can recruit. Tan Boon-Seong, known as Danny Tan to his fellow UCO students, called his parents in Malaysia Nov. 25 just to talk. He was doing fine, he said. By the next afternoon, Danny was at Edmond Medical Center Emergency Room with intense abdominal pain. Within hours, doctors diagnosed him with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). Danny's girlfriend, Joey Leong, was with him at the hospital. She telephoned his parents in Malaysia with the frightening news. It was she who waited by Danny's bedside for four days

until his parents arrived. After arranging an emergency Visa, Danny's father Tan Say Teong and his mother Lim Kim Luang embarked on a 32-hour trip from Teluk Intan, Malaysia, arriving on Dec. 1. "He told me he's so scared," Tan Say Teong said. "I told him I wouldn't live without him." Covering his face with his hands, he composed himself and continued. "In this hospital," he said, "there are good people. In ICU they are very supportive." Tan said he wants his son to be treated here rather than back in Malaysia. "The doctors and nurses are very kind and helpful. They have given us hope," he said. Dr. Alexandra Ikeguchi, an Edmond oncologist, started Danny on chemotherapy Nov. 28, Thanksgiving Day. ."He's on seven days of chemotherapy," she said. "He

Anonymous circulating petition requests faculty evaluations to be open to public by Danny Peters dp@thevistaonline.com A petition in the Liberal Arts Building is calling for the end-ofsemester student evaluations of professors and faculty to be made public. The anonymous sheet is entitled, "Petition to Permit the Making Public of The Biannual Collected Statistics Of the University of Central Oklahoma Student Evaluation of Professors and Faculty." Among other

things, it says, "Help us tell UCO that we pay for the evaluations and we insist that we be privy to the data to make wellinformed decisions about the quality of instructor's we choose to educate us." It also points out that "evaluation fees" are $1 per credit hour and that an average fall or spring semester would yield around $185,000. According to current enrollment data, that is $350,000 total for the spring, summer and fall 2002 semesters.

The petition points out that this is a large amount of money, much more than is necessary for the end-of-semester evaluations. What is known as evaluation fees are actually assessment fees, says Karen Maltby, UCO director of assessment. Each college has a committee that is given an allocation of funds and the committee oversees the use of those funds. "The funds are used to pay for surveys, test instruments, evaluators that come from off campus

and a few salaries." None of the deans contacted had heard of the petition. Liberal Arts Dean Dr. T.H. Baughman said that the petition could hardly be taken seriously since it was anonymous. "I'd have to read it to see," said Dean of Math and Science Dr. William Caire. "I don't have a real firm feel on it at all." Chris Markwood dean of arts, media and design said, "I'd have to see the petition." Then he said

that he didn't have an opinion

and thought that this was a question better left to the Provost and other administrators. The two other deans could not be reached for comment. At the end of each semester, students are given evaluations in each class. These ask questions about the professors, the coursework, and the overall experience of the class. According to UCO's News Bureau Director, Charles Johnson, the evaluations are not public record.

Quote of the day

Cartoon by Chris Maupin

Everywhere we turn retailers are worrying that the holiday sales. Will this year be as glorious as previous years? Due to the depressed economy, this year we might actually have to be sensible about holiday spending â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if it's even possible. We may have to think twice about buying those extravagant gifts by adding to the credit card bills that are still carrying balances from last Christmas' shopping sprees. We may actually have to sit down and think about what are the truly important things we can give our family and friends instead of assuming the more expensive the present the more love it shows. Think about the young children you know who expect to see presents piling higher than the six-foot Christmas tree come Christmas morning. Come to think of it, some of us so-called grown-ups might still have certain expectations for Christmas. What is this desperate need we have to show we care by buying people "stuff?" When will we ever learn that a truly special gift is the one from the heart and not out of the wallet. Sure, we say it all the time, "it's the thought that counts." Yet year after year we expect to bribe our way into others' affection. And when one of us actually has the courage to go against the grain, we still secretly worry about ridicules whispered behind our backs. Maybe this year we can try something different. Maybe we can give the down economy a silver lining.

Since students are evaluated by their instructors in the form of a verbal, written or implied criticism, professors should be held accountable for the same. What is the point in having evaluation fees, if students are denied the opportunity to evaluate their instructors? A student who graduates with 124 credits has paid $124 toward evaluations, which may or may not have been exercised. I have had a handful of professors who I have waited for the end of the semester to roll around so I can vent my frustrations about his or her teaching style, tardiness or suggestions to make the class run smoother. Feedback from the students is valuable information for administrators who want to cater the university to meet the changing needs of students. I think that professors assume that students don't care or are passive about the instructor's performance. Not only should students have the right to evaluate, but also the evaluation results should be made public record so that freshman students can make wise decisions as they plot out their college career. I think 'UCO has many great instructors, but there are a few I wished I knownabout before investing a semester in their class Some of my professor pet peeves include disorganization, talking too much about his or her personal life and then announcing a test and answering cell phones in class. These things make or break a class. Not only does this hold professors accountable, but also it raises the bar for the university as a whole. It shouts, ''Hey we aren't afraid of evaluation results. Come and read them!"

of these agencies is, in the end, simply a redrawing of command chains, a rerouting of paperwork, a redesign of the only thing the federal government can be _ a bureaucracy that is no better or worse than the daily performance of its lowest-ranked employees. It increases secrecy, decreases the people's right to know what their government is doing in their name, and, if carried to its potential extreme, threatens to eradicate any vestige of privacy in our daily lives. A homeland security bureaucracy, whatever its benefits, is not worth the sacrifice of freedom that might be demanded as its exchange rate. It cannot be allowed to turn the homeland into a veritabel prison. But the machinery for such a transition is in place. Only an involved, informed citizenry can prevent it.

By The Associated Press The Department of Homeland Security, for months a gargantuan concept, is now a gargantuan federal agency _ on paper, at least, where its skeleton now is drawn. What it will become in the flesh, and exactly when that form will take its final shape, remain anyone's guess. This colossal melding of 22 federal agencies and their 170,000 employees into an effective shield against terrorist attacks on this nation, even while al-Qaida and its allied terrorist brotherhoods remain a daily threat, is unlike anything ever before attempted. As Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman, one of its earliest proponents, put it, 'It's like asking Noah to build the ark after the rain has started to fall."

NATIONAL BRIEFS Two boys die in mobile home fire in Hoopeston HOOPESTON, Ill. (AP) Two young brothers were killed when fire swept through the mobile home where they were sleeping, authorities said Monday. Two-year-old Jose Villarrel and his 4-year-old brother, Michael Escamilla, were trapped in the burning home when the fire broke out early Sunday, said Vermilion County Coroner Peggy Johnson. The boys were staying with their aunt and uncle while their mother was away. "The aunt and uncle escaped out a back door and tried to go back in ,:he front to save the kids, but they couldn't get in," Johnson said. The adults were not seriously injured, she said. Investigators believe the fire was caused by an electric space heater, Police Chief Mark Drollinger said Monday. The family was using several space heaters because the furnace was not working, he said. Autopsies were planned Monday to determine exactly how the boys died, Johnson said. The fire was reported about 7:15 Sunday morning and destroyed the mobile home. The cause hasn't been determined. Hoopeston is 22 miles north of Danville in east-central Illinois.

Judge says Health Department can collect medical records ST. PAUL (AP) The Minnesota Health Department can start collecting medical information, including names, birth dates and diagnoses, on nearly every Minnesotan, a judge ruled Monday. But before it can start, the department must make a few changes to its plan to create a massive database to track the quality of health in the state, including to clarify how it will identify patients in the records. Many groups had opposed the policy as an attack on privacy, but administrative law judge Allan Klein said in the ruling that the department had taken most other steps necessary to ensure privacy. And he agreed with the department that collecting information on most Minnesotans will give researchers the chance to study disease clusters throughout the state. Once the Health Department makes several small changes, the report will be submitted to the chief administrative law judge for final approval. "There is no system of reasonable safeguards that will satisfy both the needs of the researchers and the concerns of all of the public," Klein wrote in the opinion. "The legislature has struck it's balance, and the Department has designed a system that is consistent with the legislative balance. Those people who just fundamentally disagree with the legislature's choice must address their arguments to the Legislature."

Teen accidentally shoots self in leg inside high school DETROIT (AP) A high school student apparently shot himself in the leg inside the school Monday morning, police said. The 15-year-old shot himself inside Osborn High School about 10 a.m. with a 9mm handgun, police said. No other students were injured, and police said the shooting appeared to be accidental, television stations WJBK and WDIV reported. The school has metal detectors, and it wasn't clear how the teen got the gun into the school. A message left with Detroit Public Schools wasn't immediately returned. "There are flaws in the system," Cmdr. Ralph Godbee said. "I'm sure there will be a thorough review." Police have recovered the weapon. The teenager was taken to St. John Hospital and was listed in temporary serious condition.

Guest speaker discusses language theories by Michael Larson ml@thevistaonline.com Jerry Gill, who has studied philosophy of language since the 1960s, presented theories on language acquisition Nov. 25 in Liberal Arts Pegasus Theater. He explored the possibility that language may not be an invention but an innate ability humans have always possessed. Gill, who currently teaches philosophy and religion at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona, has authored or edited more than 15 books and has published more than 100 journal articles on the philosophy of language. He said throughout the hundreds of languages used today and dead languages, scholars have gathered no evidence that a "primitive language" has ever existed. Gill said all languages are evolved to the point they can express both concrete and abstract concepts, even the ones used by the most primitive of peoples. Native American tribes at the time of Columbus' arrival had over 400 distinct language families, Gill said. Many of these languages had grammar so complex, it would be difficult for anyone other than a native speaker to learn. All the languages used in Western Europe stem from four original language families. Gill said he believes metaphors serve an indispensable function in the evolution of language.

"We refer to literal speech as being comprised of dead metaphors," Gill said, using phrases such as 'the foot of a table' and 'the elbow of a pipe' as examples of abstractions that have become part of standard English. Then he spoke of the Functional Use Theory, which states that humans learn through using. "We talk to kids as if they understand us, otherwise they never will. You can't not talk to them and wait for them to one day come to you and express their minds." Gill said it's the use that gives the words meaning. "That's how you learn a language, you just copy people. Everybody learns language from someone else." So who taught the first speaker of a language the language? Gill, an ordained minister, ruled out neither the possibility of a divine installation or the capacity of any group of humans living without language to instinctively form their own complex system grammar and vocabulary. Brendan Lalor, UCO assistant professor of humanities and philosophy, had Gill as a professor at the College of St. Rose in 1990. "He knows how to think philosophically and communicate difficult ideas to intelligent but common people," Lalor said. Lalor uses Gill's book If a Chimpanzee Could Talk and

Jerry Gill explains theories on acquring language skills at a presentation in Pegasus Theater Nov. 25. Other Reflections on Language Acquisition as a text for the "Language and the Mind" seminar he teaches once every two years for psychology or philosophy college credit. The book, which was published in 1997, discusses beings on the threshold of language: autistics, wolf children raised without language away from other humans — feral children — and people like Helen Keller who had to learn language through unconventional uphill measures. The book's first chapter also details scientists' efforts to teach

chimpanzees — the animals most similar to humans — sign language, getting them to communicate among one another and teach the language to other chimps. It was Gill's third time to speak at UCO and sit in on classes. Lalor said, "The first time he gave a riveting lecture. Since then people have gotten what they've learned to expect." The session was sponsored by Psi Chi, Alpha Chi, Symposium of Philosophy and the Liberal Arts Lecture Series.

Cameras allow ODOT to keep an eye on roads employed there. Janet Bellows, administrative assistant to the Dean in the Liberal Arts Building, said, "Darrell was the best janitor i we have had in a long time then, all of a sudden, he was gone and no one was told why. We get attached to our janitors because they become like family." Diane Brown, Political Science secretary, said there has been a very high turnover rate in the custodial staff. "Sometimes I feel like we have a janitor of the week every single week." ,

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will be keeping a closer electronic eye on the roads. The Transportation Commission on Monday apprcived the lige. of 11 cameras in Oklaliorria . 'City to' "monitor and respond to accidents and other traffic tie-ups along some heavily traveled interstates. The commission tabled action on similar Tulsa projects pending identification of three more locations for equipment. Video cameras and Web cameras will be placed at the interchanges of interstates 35 and 40; 40 and 44; and along 1-44 between 1-40 and State Highway 3. Video cameras already have been approved for projects along 1-40 outside

Tinker Air Force Base. The state also has found locations for seven signs and cameras in Tulsa along U.S. 169, Interstate 244 and the Broken Arrow Expressway, said Red Miller, assistant traffic engineer at ODOT. ' Operators of the video,' of CCTV cameras, will be able to tilt, pan and zoom the units from remote locations. The video feeds from the cameras will be available to Transportation Department officials and public safety officers on the state and local level. The Web cameras won't have zoom or panning capabilities and are intended to provide viewers with a picture of what is happening in a given area. None of the images provided by the cameras are intended to be used for law enforcement, state officials said.

Overseas study program ventures to Austria by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com The UCO School of Music Salzburg Program will offer an overseas studies experience from May 19 — June 21 2003 in Salzburg, Austria. Dr. Ronald Manning, program director and assistant director of the school of music, said the program, hosted by the Salzburg College, will offer classes in German Language Studies, Music History and studio lessons with a recital option. He said students pursuing degrees in music or liberal arts should be able to earn credit hours towards their degree program and that other students may earn elective credit. Each student will earn at least six hours credit from the trip with the possibility of an extra credit hour for public performance, Manning said. A maximum of 14 students can go and the deadline for the first deposit of $500 is Feb. 28. The full amount of $3,600 must be paid by March 31. The cost includes housing with an Austrian family in Salzburg near the college, all meals in Salzburg, private music instruction, German language studies, music history studies, practice facilities, a four-day Vienna field trip and some spe-

cial events. Manning said some of the sites students will visit are the homes of the world's most renowned composers from the classical romantic period and the Royal Palace in Vienna. The cost does not include airfare. Manning estimated tickets from Oklahoma City to Munich, Germany cost between $700 and $900. He said students will also want to bring money for souvenirs and weekend trips they may wish to take. "Weekends are free if they want to take short trips out. They can go to the area where The Sound of Music was filmed and see gently rolling hills, valleys and lakes." Manning said he thinks traveling to other countries and seeing a different culture is a valuable experience for students. "We're becoming increasingly aware of the need to understand people from other countries." He said the trip will cause students to call on resources they didn't know they had in order to adapt. "There's no experience that is quite the same," he said. "Trying to get from point A to point B on public transportation can be a nightmare but Salzburg is small enough that it can even be a fun place to get lost."

Manning said he is an advocate for programs like this one, which challenge students to learn another language and culture. "The language itself is like a key that opens a treasure chest that would remain locked otherwise." Aery Choi, UCO music graduate student, spent 14 days in Salzburg this summer working with Manning. She plans to participate in the 2003 Salzburg program. She said she learned how to sing, act and perform on stage during her time in Salzburg. The trip also helped her learn more German. "By staying in Austria we learned how to interact with people from many countries," she said. Choi said Salzburg is a multicultural place where she met people from Iceland, Switzerland and the Netherlands. She said she enjoyed learning from her professors and was motivated by the others students. "Many of the professors are famous musicians," she said. Choi encouraged other students to participate in the study program especially if they are musicians or interested in learning more about another culture.

respondents couldn't locate the Pacific Ocean and less than half knew where Israel was. And during an era in which the threat of nuclear war remains real, many respondents couldn't name four countries that currently possess nuclear weapons. Barbara Chow, executive director of the Society's Education Foundation, said Sept. 11 prompted the survey in order to compare contemporary results to a similar survey conducted by Gallup 14 years ago, in which the United States finished dead last. "In the post-Sept. 11 world we noticed a huge resurgence in interest in international affairs," Chow said. "We thought that all this activity might result in higher geographic literacy. What we found out was a little disappoint-

you, it gives you the context in which decisions are being made," Chow said. The contemporary world is globally interconnected and future jobs will in part depend on an applicant's capacity to understand it, Chow said. Many Americans will work in an industry that has a multinational component, she said. "This country has so many enormous multinational global responsibilities both as a military power • and for economic reasons alone that we as a society need this kind of knowledge to help us be responsible citizens of the world," Chow said. UCO students Matt Price, Scott Davis, Natalie McDougle and Chelsea Curtis all agreed that knowledge of geography is important. Price said American students should have some knowledge about world events. Davis said it is important for people to know geography, particularly with events transpiring on an almost daily basis in the Middle East. McDougle said, "To me, it's important to know different places in the world, what's going on, things like poverty, war, different crises." McDougle said limited knowledge of places in the world adversely affects conversations at UCO, a campus with numerous international students. It's been her experience that students usually reveal their homeland, not their hometown, due to this perceived lack of knowledge.

ing, which is that there really hadn't been a lot of change from 1988." Chow said 18 to 24-year-olds were targeted primarily because survey organizers believed college-aged individuals were most interested in military-related issues and world hot spots. Individuals surveyed who had used the Internet recently, who were educated, who were well traveled and who used multiple media sources tended to perform better, Chow said. In the U.S., television is a main source of news, whereas in many other countries it is not, she said. Chow said respondents who had successfully completed a geography class answered more questions correctly than those who had not. "Young people need to be well versed because geography helps you understand the world around

Curtis said, "International business has become a greater part of our economy and if you don't know where a place is, its kind of hard to understand that kind of stuff." Chow said good teacher preparation, having props like maps and globes in the classroom and talking about geography will help increase geographic literacy. The National Geographic State Geographic Alliance program conducts local and statewide teacher education and public awareness campaigns, Chow said. Oklahoma has a strong organization, she said. Academic geographers at universities head most alliances, Chow said. Each alliance develops and distributes geography education materials to local education decision-makers. National Geographic does not fund the Oklahoma Alliance for Geographic Education (OKAGE), but does assist it periodically, during national geography awareness week and on local, state and national geography bees, said Brooke Barnett, OKAGE communications director. Chow said there is an alliance in each state, plus one each in the District of Columbia, Canada and Puerto Rico. Since 1988, National Geographic has spent more than $100 million on improving geographic knowledge.

Art students sell work Oklahomans gain powerful committee seats by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com An opening reception for UCO students selling their artwork to raise money for international study tours in the spring and summer semesters will be from 4 – 6 p.m. on Dec. 14 at the UCO Jazz Lab. Joy Baresel, art junior, said, "Students will be selling art made from a variety of media, including photography, paintings, serigraphy and Christmas cards." The student artwork may also be purchased during the Christmas show "Making Spirits Bright" at 8 p.m. on Dec. 14 and 21 at the UCO Jazz Lab. Baresel said the art sale will be a wonderful opportunity for people to celebrate the Christmas season and get some shopping done. Art professors Dr. Bob Palmer and Dr. William Hommel are offering the tours to anyone who would like to study art internationally. Hommel will offer web courses and study tours of Mexico Mesoamerican and German Expressionism art. The classes may be taken separately. Hommel said, "The web courses will be worth one credit and the study tours will be worth two credits." Hommel said the Mexico web course will begin on Feb. 3 with online chats to students in Puebla, Mexico. "The students will be able to meet in person if they decide to take the trip to Mexico during spring break." Hommel said the Mexico study tour will concentrate on the Mesoamerican art in various archeological sites, ancient cities and museums. "At each site there will be an archaeologist available to explain tile . pieces' were like when they were active. Students will learn about the history of the sires during the web course." Hommel said the Mexico study tour will cost $1,000 and will include airfare, transportation and lodging. He participants will visit Mexico City, Teotihuacan, Puebla, La Venta, Palenque and El Tajin. Hommel will also offer a German Expressionism web course on April 7 to May 2 and a study tour on May 11 to May 22. Hommel said, "During the tour we will visit collections of German Expressionist art and the places they painted. This will include sites such as Nymphenburg Palace, Charlemagne's Chapel and Koln Cathedral." Hommel said the German Expressionism study tour will cost $2,664, which includes all transportation, hotels, breakfasts, dinners and museums and sites admissions. He said participants will visit Amsterdam, Essen, Dusseldorf, Aachen, Koln, Frankfurt, Mannheim, Stuttgart, Ulm, Munich, Murnau and Kochel Am. Palmer will offer a painting and photography study tour in

San Miguel, Mexico, on May 17 - 31. He said the course is worth two credits and students should enroll by March 26. Palmer said, "Students may choose to do either painting or photography or a combination of the two." Palmer said he decided to offer the study tour because he loved the scenery and artwork in San Miguel and felt it would be a good learning experience for students to visit the art institute San Miguel de Allende. Palmer said students will have access to darkroom facilities and a painting studio during the study tour. He said a graduate assistant will be available to help the students with their artwork. Palmer said the San Miguel study tour will cost $1,000 and will include all transportation, breakfasts, dinners and lodging. Palmer will also offer a mural painting and photography study tour in Macedonia on July 12 26. The Macedonia study tour will be worth two credits and students must enroll by April 30. Palmer said participants will do sightseeing and touring in Skopia, the capital of Macedonia, and paint two murals in Prelip. "There is an art colony in Prelip where people from all over the world come to produce art for two weeks. There will be sculptors, weavers, painters and photographers all working together." Palmer said the study tour will cost $2,000 and will include all transportation and lodging. He said participants will visit Byzantine churches, Medieval forts and Islamic mosques from the time of the Ottoman empire. For more information contact Dr. Hommel at 974-5202 or Dr. Palmer at 974-5204.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) For the first time since 1936, Oklahoma's two U.S. senators will chair committees, which could put the state in a position to receive more federal dollars and assistance. Republicans senators Don Nickles and Jim Inhofe will have seats in two key committees when Congress resumes. Nickles will lead the Budget Committee and Inhofe will chair the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. As the chair of the budget committee, Nickles will oversee

eastern Oklahoma. Inhofe said he would like Oklahoma and other states to receive more federal road dollars. States donate revenue collected from fuel taxes and in return receive federal money for infrastructure. Oklahoma and a few other states give more money than they receive. Inhofe said he wants to change that. The senator says he believes the state could come out with a bigger slice of the pie this time. "I am personally going to try

and target 95 percent instead of 90.5 percent," he said. If the move is successful, Oklahoma would receive 95 cents in road funds for every $1 it sends into the highway trust fund. In 2000 the state generated about $500 million for the highway trust fund but received only $452 million back for projects. At the Tar Creek site, residents and Oklahoma officials are still waiting for the completion of a report from the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

Holiday events slated for international students by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com It's cold outside, the refrigerator is empty and the cafeteria is closed. There is a solution to the food availability problem for international students who are going to be near the UCO campus over Christmas vacation. Holly Irwin, international minister for the Baptist Collegiate Ministries said a group of UCO students who live on the corner of Hurd and Jackson at 232 East Hurd will be offering free meals to international students at 7 p.m. from Dec. 14 – Jan. 11. Andrea Williams, college and missions intern at Henderson Hills Baptist Church, said, "The reason we did this is because the cafeteria closes down."

the writing of the congressional budget, monitor the impact of revenue and discuss spending decisions on the federal budget. Nickles told the Tulsa World's Washington bureau that he plans to help produce a budget that "will promote economic growth, homeland security and national security." As chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, Inhofe said he would like to see more money for Oklahoma roads and a revived interest in cleaning up the Tar Creek Superfund site in north-

students. "A bunch of us were praying to reach out to international students," Williams said. She said the students applied and Henderson Hills' staff members selected who would live in the house. This is the first semester for this project and the house has been the site for several potluck dinners and parties. "One night we had 70 international students come," she said. Williams said each night of the break a different Henderson Hills' Sunday school daises will prepare the meals. Williams said others who are interested in helping prepare the meals or want to get involved with the international student ministry are also invited. International students who would like to see an Oklahoma Christmas tradition are invited to meet at the Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) to go to the Chickasaw Festival of Lights at 5 p.m. Dec. 7. Irwin said this is the third year for them to take international students to the festival. "We figured it was something

they hadn't seen before," Irwin said. In the past about 25 – 30 international students have attended the event, Irwin said. She said after they look at the lights the group will go to a stu-

dent's home in Chickasaw for hot chocolate. "It's a neat experience because a lot of international students don't get to go in an American's house," Irwin said. For more information call Andrea Williams 715-3214.

For your listening pleasure this is your chance for redemption. It's also a chance for you "grown-up" fans to rediscover the relevance of these timeless, beautifully crafted songs.

by Andrew Bowman ab@thevistaonline.com Siouxsie & The Banshees The Best of (2002) Geffen/UME This 15 track CD successfully covers the brilliant career of one of the most unique bands to come out of the punk era of the late 1970's. From the opening song, Beatles cover "Dear Prudence," to the burning exit of "This Wheel's on Fire" this collection shows the strangely hypnotic presence that this U.K. group possessed. Very few bands have mastered the punk/pop genre with the subtlety and completeness of the Banshees. At the same time, their music managed to be both deviant and elegant with sounds that lift them above such trite categorization. The Banshees had a distinct attitude that is easily heard but not as easily defined. If you missed out on the music of Siouxsie & The Banshees in their glory days of the late 70's through the mid 90's due to untimely conception or unfavorable taste,

The Emperor's Club, is the familiar story of a teacher at a prestigious college preparatory school who challenges his students to be more than they thought they could be. Kevin Kline (Life as a House) plays William Hundert, a professor of Greek and Roman classics who believes he teaches his students principle and character through the histories of men like Julius Caesar and Aristotle. Despite it's resemblance to the film Dead Poet's Society, or

memorable tunes from a very transitional period in music. True fans of the band will appreciate how Soft Cell helped pioneer the marriage of synthesizers and Brit-pop in the early 80's. If you can listen long enough to hear the poignant and perverted messages in their songs, then you'll probably love this collection. Otherwise, you may wish to be confined in a soft (padded) cell while listening to this CD.

In Dead Poet's Society, Robin Williams' character shakes things up by going against the grain but Hundert's life is rooted in the traditions and values of the establishment. Hundert is challenged morally and as professor by a new student, Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch), who is the son of a wealthy U.S. senator. Bell is rebellious and uninterested in the classics and Hundert's lectures on integrity. Hundert believes that in time

he can change Bell from an unruly youth to a disciplined scholar. The outcome of Hundert's intervention in Bell's life comes back to haunt him and make him question his success as a teacher 20 years later. Although certain parts of the plot are a little unbelievable and were brushed over without enough explanation the film still got the viewers to care about the characters.

Jimi Hendrix Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight (2002) Experience Hendrix/MCA/UME This collection of live songs recorded at an outdoor music festival in front of 600,000 spectators on August 30, 1970 captures the truly magical presence that Hendrix exuded. Just weeks before his death, this concert would mark one of the most memorable performances by one the most revered musicians of all time. The set list includes such classics as "All Along the Watchtower" and "Dolly Dagger," along with a stirring rendition of "God Save the Queen" and a verse of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Eleven tracks in all, Blue Wild Angel is a remarkable live recording. Bits of conversation between Jimi and the audience capture the artist's free-spirited, goodnatured personality. Not many of us had the opportunity to see this phenomenal guitarist live in concert, and even fewer if any of us can put into words the power of his music. This CD gives you a glimpse into the magic and mystery that was Jimi Hendrix. I am still accepting suggestions for future reviews and recommendations, so email me at abowman1975@yahoo.com if you know of any good music that's not getting proper media coverage. Remember, music today is only as bad as you let it be...so stop listening to crap!

Herrin resigns as each Volleyball still winning awards by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com

Photo Services

Coach Herrin resigned after 13 years at the helm.

by Dara Lawless dl@thevistaonline.com UCO head volleyball coach Mark Herrin announced his resignation, handing over the posidon to assistant coach. Jeff Boyland Tuesday. Herrin will remain at UCO as the director of the new Wellness Center, which is near completion and will open in spring 2003. Herrin, 43, completed his 13

year after coaching the Bronchos to their second consecutive LSC championship and was named LSC North Division Coach of the Year. UCO volleyball finished 30-7 and earned a place in the NCAA Division II national tournament under Herrin's leadership. "This was obviously a tough decision for me but I decided the time was right to go a different direction with my career," said

Herrin. "I was fortunate to have coached a lot of great players during the last 13 years and it was a very rewarding experience that I will always cherish." Herrin, who came to UCO in 1990, finishes his career with a 304-155 record, 12 winning seasons, and 10 seasons with over 20 wins. Herrin was named LSC Coach of the Year in 1994 after UCO became league champions and made the Division II playoffs for the first time. "Mark did a remarkable job in turning our volleyball program into one of the best in the country and we certainly appreciate his contributions," said Skip Wagnon, UCO athletic director. "He leaves the program in great shape and Jeff is a proven coach who we feel very confident will continue the winning tradition that has been established." Boyland entered the scene at UCO this year leaving the head coach position at Mid-America Bible College in Moore. During his two years at Moore, Boyland led the team to a 71-11 record and captured the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II title in 2001. "I'm excited about the opportunity to be the head coach here at UCO and look forward to keeping this program headed in the right direction," said Boyland. "Mark did an excellent job building this program to what it is and I'm ready to work hard to keep it going." Boyland earned Southwest Region Coach of the Year honors both years at Mid-America and was the NCCAA National Coach of the Year in 2001. In the early 1220, Boyland served the asststanfcoach at EdmOnd Sante Fe High School and volunteer assistant at UCO in '95 and '96.

UCO's record-setting Alma Brahimaj has been named to the NCAA Division II AllSouthwest Region Team by the American Volleyball Coaches of America. The senior outside hitter was one of 12 players on the elite AllSouthwest Region Team and will now go on the All-America ballot. Junior setter Stacey Meek was an honorable mention pick on the all-region team. Brahimaj led the Bronchos with 610 kills, 463 digs and 54 service aces this season and finished her stellar four-year career as the school and Lone Star Conference career leader in kills, attacks and digs. She ranks second in attacks, fourth in kills and 17th in digs on the all-time NCAA Division II charts. Meek had a school single-season record 1,660 assists this year while adding 77 kills, 305 digs and 90 total blocks. She also became UCO's career leader in assists this season. The Bronchos finished the

Dodgen leads wrestling, crunching the 141-pound field by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The UCO wrestling team has been without several stars to their team so far this season, but they got one of those back over the weekend in defending National Champion Matt Dodgen. Dodgen went out and capped an impressive sweep through the 141-pound field with a last-second upset of OU's Nate Parker to lead UCO's top-ranked wrestling team. Dodgen scored a reverse with 10 seconds remaining to pull out a 2-0 finals win over Parker, who was ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division I. It was the first action of the season for Dodgen, who missed the first two tournaments with minor injuries. UCO finished with just two placers in the all-day tournament, with 197 David Stitt finishing fourth. The Bronchos took 26 individuals to the meet that attracted individuals from Division I powers OU, Oklahoma State, Minnesota and Missouri. "Overall it wasn't that good a day for us but Matt ended it on a great note with his performance," UCO coach David James.

"It was good to finally see him on the mat and he wrestled extremely well in all four of his matches." UCO was without injured All-Americans Mark Dodgen, Shawn Silvis and Jeff Henning , returning national champ Cole

Province and had two others go down Saturday. Bryan Tapley, who is battling Stitt for the starting spot at 197, suffered a sprained knee in his first-round match. Shelby Bullard, 133, dislocated an elbow in his second bout

Dodgen upset Divsion l's No. 2 man for the gold.

of the day. Dodgen was by far the highlight for the Bronchos in his first action of the season, rolling into the finals with three straight bonus-point wins. The Ponca City senior had second-period falls in his first two matches then used an early takedown and near-fall to take control en route to an 8-0 major decision over OSU's Ronnie Delk in the semifinals. Dodgen's finals match with Parker was scoreless through two periods as neither wrestler scored in the opening stanza. Dodgen controlled Parker throughout the two-minute second period. Dodgen almost got loose from Parker twice in the third period before finally scoring the winning reverse with just 10 seconds remaining to pull out the thrilling 2-0 win. Stitt, an OU transfer who won't be eligible until the second semester, opened with a 7-3 win over Air Force's Rusty Kaiser before falling to OSU's Rusty Blackmon 4-0 in the semis. He came back with a 1-0 win over Bacone's Niko Kollastasis in the consolation finals, then dropped a 2-1 sudden victory decision to Kaiser in the bronze medal match.

Men's basketball axed 77-59 The Bronchos keys to winning are scoring at will against the other team, but that didn't happen much in Missouri. Pritchett did lead the

by Daniel Holdge dh@thevistaonline.com The UCO men's basketball team didn't have a very good Thanksgiving Break since they traveled to Missouri to play in the Hillyard Tip-off Classic only to lose two games. In their second game, the Bronchos fell behind early and never recovered dropping a 7759 decision to host Missouri Western. UCO never led and tied the game only once, at 2-2 in the opening seconds on a layup by Jason Pritchett, with the Griffons quickly gaining control. Missouri Western led by 20, 40-20, at halftime and was up by as many as 25 in the second half before coasting in. The Bronchos, after losing both games in the two-day event, fell to 1-2 on the year and will stay on the road for several more games. "We didn't do much of anything right," UCO coach Terry Evans said. "Missouri Western has a good team but we played very poorly and that was disappointing." UCO shot just 40.0 percent from the field and hit just 1-of11 from 3-point range in addition to committing a costly 22 turnovers.

2002 national champ Cole Province remains injured.

One Hit Wonder helps fund scholarship by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com The sketch comedy troupe One Hit Wonder (OHW) will perform at 8 p.m. on Dec. 29 at the UCO Jazz Lab to raise money for the Dr. Tamara Long Memorial Scholarship Fund. Long was an assistant music professor at UCO at the time of her death in May 2002. Several members of OHW worked closely with Long in the music theatre department. OHW members Dave Bewley, Dustin Fasching, Chris Chauncey and Matt Brown were music theatre majors at UCO. Bewley, Fasching and Chauncey all had lead roles in the spring 1996 production of "City of Angels," which Long directed. "Tamara Long was a big inspiration to all of us during our time spent at UCO. She was always there to encourage and support us with all of our decisions," Chauncey said. OHW also includes UCO

graphic design graduate Mitch Baker and Oklahoma University graduates Dr. Derek Doublin and Shane Laser. The first two OHW performances were in 1996 at the Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal Arts Building. The Jazz Lab performance will be a reunion show for OHW, who have not performed together since their breakup in March 2001. The troupe performed at the HBO sponsored United States Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado in February 2000. Chauncey said, "It was an honor to be able to perform on the same stage as Robin Williams and Steve Martin." From March 2000 - 2001 all seven members of OHW lived together in Los Angeles and had a nationally syndicated radio show called "One Hit Wonder's Radio Time Slot." Doublin said, "Shane, David and I came up with the idea of adding a ridiculous second audio track to "2001: A Space Odyssey" while working on the radio show.

We are all huge Kubrick fans and it was a good excuse to dissect one of his films. Every sound, including each individual footstep, has been completely re-mastered." Doublin and Brown currently live in Oklahoma City. Doublin directed and cowrote the film "Mouthgarden" with Brown, who also stars in the film. The New York Independent Film Festival requested that "Mouthgarden" be shown at the film festival in April. Baker and Bewley are now married and residing in Austin, Texas. Doublin, Baker and Bewley are currently attempting to run a nationally syndicated cable access show entitled, "Quick Mechanism." Brown, singer and guitarist for the band The Fellowship Students, was the co-creator of The Chocolate Factory, an independent theatre company. Brown was the lead role in the company's summer production of ''Hedwig and The Angry Inch." Chauncey, Laser and Fasching are currently still live in Los Angeles. Chauncey is the producer and star of "History Extreme," which premieres Dec. 5, 6, 12 and 13. Chauncey and Brown co-wrote the script and Laser performed the music and visuals. Fasching is the host of a movie theatre called The Bridge at The Howard Hughes Center.

Mary Wheeler, director of the lab at Edmond Medical Center said siblings provide a one-infour possibility for a match. Danny's only sibling is in Malaysia. For genetic reasons, other Malaysian people, especially from the same area, would be the next best place to look, she said. Dr. Ikaguchi said that if a match is found among UCO's Malaysian students, it would speed the process of getting Danny the treatment he needs. Wheeler said the testing costs between $50 and $100 per person, but Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) will do the testing free in exchange for donating

a pint of blood. She is working with OBI to help arrange for a bone marrow blood drive. The City of Edmond requires no permit for collection boxes to be placed around the city. Requesting donations from businesses is permitted, but house to house soliciting is not allowed, they said. Blake Fry, director of Student Life, said he thinks it would be great if students or student groups that wish to would get involved in the efforts on Danny's behalf Students who want to help may contact Yin Hwee at yinhwee@hotmail.com .
