Bill to abolish tenure fails in state house
•
By Phillip Roder Staff/fifer tate House Rep. Bill Graves attempted to abolish tenure, but his actions were not as serious as the reaction could have been had the bill passed. On Jan. 9, Graves, R-Oklahoma City, introduced House Bill 3128 to abolish tenure for higher education in the state of Oklahoma. If the bill had made it through committee, Oklahoma would have became the only state to abolish tenure. HB 3128 Section One states: "Beginning July 1, 1998 no more tenure will be allowed to be awarded to any employee within the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education. Persons who currently have tenure will be allowed to retain such tenure." Section Three states: "It being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency is Guild hereby declared to exist, by reason whereof this act shall take effect and be in full force from and after its passage and approval." The Vista repeatedly tried to contact Graves to find out what the "emergency" was or even how tenure was endangering the "preservation of public peace," but at press time calls made by The Vista remained unanswered. American Association of University Professors (AAUP) State President Dr. Tom Guild, along with 11 other state AAUP members, lobbied to get the bill killed while it was still in the House committee.

Oa in death
F
or many years women worked and struggled for the right to be equal to men. They earned the vote. They can be in combat positions in the military. And they can be executed the same as any male criminal. One week ago today, Karla Faye Tucker was put to death in Texas. She was the first woman to be executed in Texas since the Civil War, although Texas killed well over 100 men in 1997. In 1983 Tucker was sentenced to die for killing two people with a pick-ax. After a 13 year wait, she received a lethal injection of drugs as punishment. And yet people complained, saying she had been rehabilitated—she was reborn as a Christian. People do not go to death row to be rehabilitated. They are there to die for their crimes. Their sex, race or creed does not matter. The punishment for murder in Texas, as well as many other states, including Oklahoma, is death. People who have a problem with that should consider it before hacking their fellow humans into pieces. -4( Pujan Roka /The Vista

I
am writing this letter concerning the Presidents' Club Christmas Party for Underprivileged Children and the role the Greek System played in its success. This party is held annually for children in the Edmond area whose families do not have the finances to provide the type of Christmas most of us are used to, and the number of children who are able to attend depends entirely on the participation of the student organizations on campus. UCO currently has approximately 140 student organizations, and the Greek System is composed of only 7 organizations, about 5%. This year UCO student organizations sponsored over 160 children at the party, and the Greek System combined sponsored over 60 children , over 37% Although the party was extensively planned and well organized by the officers of the Presidents' Club and the many volunteer student organizations, it didn't go without its problems. One of the problems that appeared that day was that of too many children and not enough sponsors. Every child attending the party is sponsored by two volunteer students from a student organization who are responsible for purchasing that child's Christmas presents and having fun with them while at the party. Unfortunately, one of the elementary schools made the mistake of sending three extra children. Now, imagine how these children felt at the party when they watched the other 160 children sit on Santa's lap and receive a stocking full of goodies and a couple of presents they had asked for in a
letter they sent to Santa. Because these children didn't have sponsors assigned to them, there wasn't a stocking with their name on it, nor presents for them under the tree. Seeing this to be an awful situation for these children, a collection was started among the Greek System which raised $120. A member of one of the fraternities and a staff member of UCO then took that money and bought the three children their gifts, brought them back to the University where they were wrapped and given to the children. I am not writing this story to the Vista to brag on the Greek System, nor am I writing this because I think the Greek System deserves a pat on the back. I am writing this because their is a very negative attitude toward the Greek System, not only across the nation, but especially on this campus. What these students did was done purely out of the Christmas spirit and their want to give back to the community. Now, when you think of the Greek System, what first pops into your mind? Is it a bunch of rich, snobby, drunken, wanting to haze pledges, poor students? Or, is it a group of students who wanted to make sure three underprivileged children had a happy Christmas? I hope after reading this you can at least open your mind to the positive contributions mad by members of Fraternities and Sororities, and stop judging us by the perception you receive from the media.

BILL Continued from front page UCO had more lepresentation than any other university in the state. Guild, along with Dr. Binning, professor of decision sciences; Dr. Bidlack, assistant professor of biology; Dr. Law, chairperson and professor of humanities and philosophy; and Dr. Wendling, assistant professor of professional teacher education were the UCO AAUP representation. This is not the first time Guild has had to defend tenure. In his first term as state AAUP president similar legislation was introduced. It also failed. Guild said, "Bill Graves is on the most conservative wing of the Republican party." Guild sent out memos to state AAUP members alerting them that this bill would virtually end academic freedom in the state and destroy the ability for Oklahoma to compete in the national market for faculty because tenure exists in every other state. Graves' failure to attend the Higher Education Committee meeting in the state capitol on Feb. 3, caused his bill to die. Graves contacted the Higher Education Committee Chairperson Rep. Barbara Staggs, D-Muskogee, to ask for the bill to
be rescheduled at a later date. The Vista tried to contact Staggs to determine if the bill will be heard at a later date, but she was unavailable at press time. Graves claimed in a Feb. 3 press release that there had been a scheduling error and that is why he was not there to show support for his bill. "I don't have tenure, private-sector employees don't have tenure, so why should teachers have tenure? You loose authority over them when they get tenure. When people are not doing their job, they shouldn't be protected by tenure," said Graves in his press release. Dr. Katherene Terrell, assistant professor of accounting, said, "The abuse of tenure is the problem, not tenure its self." Sen. James Hager D-Pawhuska said, "The tenure bill would severely limit the ability of the colleges and universities in Oklahoma to be able to recruit and get the faculty we are always looking for. I do not think the author of the bill put very much thought into the bill."

or some UCO students he is the mentor, counselor or brother that transformed his office into a haven. To others, he is Barry Lofton, coordinator of Multicultur Student Services (MSS), a division of Student Support Services. "I love dealing with the students and trying to meet their needs and goals," said Lofton. "I like to watch them develop and grow." Lofton is responsible for providing educational, cultural, social and counseling services to ethnic minorities, with a primary goal of increasing retention and graduation rates. MSS is designed to meet the needs of multicultural students, but extends beyond multicultural students, said Lofton. MSS provides support for student programs such as Native American Week,
American Indian Pow Wow, Black History Month, Asian Heritage activities and Hispanic activities. It facilitates study skill Workshops, a career fair and an internship and employment program. MSS provides tutors, mentors and offers scholarships. Lofton said every day is different since he handles so many different things and people. On any given day, a person can find five or more current and former UCO students gathering to laugh, share advice and help with upcoming events. Lofton said 'during Black History Month activities, there will be over 500 high school students on campus for First American Visitation Day. This month, he will take students from the Hispanic American Student Association (HASA) to a leadership conference in Austin, Texas. The following week, he will take a group from the Black Student Association

Hotelling said the stresses of college life in areas of academics, finances and competitiveness can cause students to overemphasize their appearance. She said this emphasis can reinforce distorted views about eating and weight. The desire to lose a few pounds can turn into an obsession where the symptoms control the person instead of the person controlling the diet, said Dr. Linda Ingison, a clinical psychologist. Ingison said some of the characteristics and traits often, seen in eating disorder patients are: 'Perfectionism 'Fear of failure 'Black and white thinking 'High standards 'Obsessive exercise

ollege athletes may be more at risk to develop eating disorders than other students, studies show. Dr. Pauline Powers, a physician and professor at the University of South Florida and Dr. Craig Johnson, a psychologist and professor at the University of Tulsa, report that anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and other forms of disordered eating appear to be significant problems for many athletes. Their findings show that female athletes are especially at risk in sports that emphasize a thin body such as gymnastics, ballet, figure skating, swimming and distance running. Males, they said, are at risk in sports such as body building and wrestling. Once developed, eating disorders can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, cramps and an irregular heart rate which can significantly reduce athletic capacity, say researchers. -4(

UCO graduate, author addresses Creative Studies Writers Institute By Penny Hubbard Stafffriter
T
he Creative Studies Writers Institute (CSWI) met Saturday to listen to guest speaker Jerry Ellis, a graduate of the UCO Creative Studies program. Ellis is the author of three novels which detail his journeys along several famous trails. The book, "Walking the Trail: One Man's Journey Along the Trail of Tears," is an account of his 900 mile journey along that famous trail to "honor the dead and celebrate the living." "After the first week, the writing was so natural that I realized I could probably come close to covering what had happened," Ellis told the Vista in a 1992 interview. In another book, "Bareback: One Man's Journey Along The Pony Express Trail," Ellis describes his 2,100 mile journey From St. Joseph, Mo. to San Francisco in a covered
wagon, on foot and in a canoe. For that book, Ellis joined a group that traveled along the Oregon Trail and passed along part of the Pony Express route that was traveled more than a century ago. After being disappointed by the group, Ellis decided to continue on solo. The overall story is not just about his trip, but what goes through his mind along the journey. His latest book, "Marching Through Georgia: My Walk with Sherman," describes his trip along the path Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman took during the Civil War. Ellis set out from the Atlanta home where Margaret Mitchell had written Gone With the Wind. Ellis has commended the Creative Studies program at UCO for helping
him launch his writing career. Ellis was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award for "Walking." The first chapter of that book also appeared in a new anthology by Norton called "In short: A Collection of Brief Creative Nonfiction" In a letter to Dr. Steve Garrison, chairperson of the English department, Ellis said he never Ellis dreamed that when he attended classes at UCO that he would one day be so blessed to make a living at what he loved—writing. He said he loved the opportunity to speak to students and try to inspire them to follow their own dreams. <
