Jarrod Noftsger, assistant to the vice president, said student organizations can't serve alcohol at their functions because the Board of Regents' policy prohibits it. "When we open a door," Kreidler said, "we can't open it all the way." Wiseman said UCO is still officially a dry campus. The one-time waiver only applies to this one event and the university center. All students, faculty and community members are welcome at the Valentine's Day party that will take place in the University Ballroom on Feb. 13 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. The cost is $75 and includes dinner, wine and entertainment. A cash bar will bar available. Only people who are 21-years-old will be allowed to drink. For information, call Kreidler at 974-2244 or 974-2358. •

he introduction of new shops that cater to college students may be among the effects of a recent economic study of Edmond, according to the Edmond Economic Development Authority (EEDA). ."Eventually we'd like to kind of create a campus corner thing somewhere off of University [Drive] going toward downtown," said Steve Kreidler, executive director of the EEDA. Kreidler said that although there are numerous student employment opportunities in Edmond, the addition of new businesses could expand the variety of
available jobs. The EEDA provides information to businesses and developers who are considering Edmond as a location for creating new retail sites. The EEDA gathered sales figures from Edmond merchants between August and December of 2000 and organized that information by business type. "What we were trying to find out is, do we have big holes in our retail marketplace in Edmond that we should try and fill so that people don't have to drive so far to spend their money," said Kreidler. According to statistics from the EEDA's report, Edmond has advanced in the past two decades from

here is a time and a place for everything. UCO has found their time and place to stray from the norm in their alcohol-free policy. The policy withstood the test of time until the recent one-time waiver was put in place for this year's Valentine's Day party. The party, to be held the day before Valentine's Day, will be in the University Center and will include wine and a cash bar. But to get in the door we have to pay $75 per person.

Not to mention, the University Center facility could generate more money and events for the campus.

Board of Regents proposes $1.15 fee increase BY BRADLEY PEMBERTON
U
Staff Writer
CO students may be paying $1.15 more per credit hour if the Legislature passes the proposed fee increase. Oklahoma State Regents met Friday at Rogers State University in Claremore and approved a 29 percent activity fee increase from $4 per hour to $5.15. The money subsidizes guest speakers, cultural festivals, student organizations, the student newspaper, athletics and scholarships. The Regents also approved a proposed $126,193 increase to UCO's Educational and General Budget for "personnel services, travel, supplies, property, furniture, equipment and library materials." The cost of heating and lighting were discussed. Part of the state's budget surplus, from taxes on higher oil and gas prices, has unofficially been earmarked for higher education. Instead of being used for tangible programs, the money may go to the utility companies.
"I think we are in a squeeze. I f we have the kind of budget the governor has indicated, we will be using that to offset higher utility costs to keep the buildings operating for the students. The market giveth and the market taketh away," Chairman Leonard Eaton said. State universities also may be asked to use outside contractors. MGT of America, Inc., Tallahassee, Fla., conducted an independent study of Oklahoma's universities based on national trends in outsourcing needed services. The survey's 20-point test outlines benefits to each university by contracting certain work while maintaining some inhouse services. Auditing, printing, construction and architectural services ranked the most common privatized activities. Regent Bill W. Burgess expressed concern that the governor might reject the report. Burgess stated the governor wants to outsource all university services except faculty and indicated a need for recommendations in that
area. The Oklahoma Higher Education Roundtable gave the state's education system a "C." High school students lack proper preparation to be successful in college, the report stated. Universities have also neglected to prepare students for the needs of the workplace. Recommendations include understanding the links between each level of education and finding ways to enhance cooperation and allow for easier credit transfers among state universities. Other items approved include a commendation to Bob Stoops, University of Oklahoma head football coach, for his undefeated season, and a tribute to the 10 victims of the Jan. 27 plane crash involving members of Oklahoma State University's basketball team. Langston University's $60 million request to implement a statewide program also passed. To comment on this story, logon to the forum at www.thevistaonline.com . •

GEAR UP teams with UCO LETTERS
for workshops, conference BY ANN DEE MCCLANE
Staff Writer earning up with Oklahoma City middle schools, UCO is one of the universities in the state that is encouraging students to continue their education throughout high school and college. Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) is a nationally- and state-funded program that focuses on increasing the number of students going from high school to college. "[GEAR UP is an] opportunity for students to get on the track to get to a university," said Jay Troy, GEAR UP partnership coordinator for UCO. In the fall of 1996, more than 3,000 eighth graders in the Oklahoma City school district entered into the ninth grade. In May of 2000, 54 percent of those students did not graduate high school, and of those who did, 10 percent went on to higher education opportunities. GEAR UP serves as an educational tool that aids students in developing the behavior and methods required for education beyond high school. Troy, who was once an assistant principal in the Oklahoma City Public Schools, saw an opportunity to do something for students other than administrative work by joining GEAR UP. He thus became a coordinator for the program at UCO.
I
A federal program that has been in existence for three years, GEAR UP is in its second year in Oklahoma City. UCO is in partnership with 10 Oklahoma City Public Schools. Approximately 5,800 students are involved in this five-year program in Oklahoma City, and UCO has 2,500 of those students. Every seventh- and eighth-grader in the district is a GEAR UP member. Already this semester, GEAR UP has held workshops for the students. On Monday, Feb. 5 the Jefferson Middle School band had the opportunity to witness the rehearsal of UCO's wind ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Ron Howell. Toward the end of the practice performance, Howell invited David Green, the band director at Jefferson Middle School, to conduct the UCO band students along with the middle school students. After the class, several of the young musicians had the chance to attend a brass ensemble performance, while others were given private music lessons by the UCO students. "It was awesome," said Troy. Every Saturday this month, UCO hosts four-hour workshops on the UCO campus for students from six of the Oklahoma City schools. This particular series is designed for those eighth-graders who expressed an interest in improving their reading scores on the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills and
State Criteria Referenced Tests. The goal is to help the students improve reading comprehension, reading fluency and spelling skills. The workshops are taught by selected middle school teachers from the district, who have learned effective new ways of presenting information to students. Through these workshops, students develop their own discipline of learning so that they do not have to re-learn the same information year after year. Each student is encouraged to be more successful weekly. UCO will be hosting the state conference for GEAR UP on April 11. Schools from across Oklahoma, will be attending. According to Troy, GEAR UP alters the system in such a manner that students do not have permission to forget what they have learned. They have the opportunity to remember the information that they are presented. He believes the use of quality tools is a critical part of ensuring students' success. The Professional Teacher Education department at UCO is the organizer for GEAR UP. The workshops have so far pleased those in charge of them, and the students have had an enjoyable learning experience. "The teachers and the students went away happy," Troy said. •

Staff Writer t. Valentine's Day. A day of love. A day of red roses, candy hearts, and love poetry. A day many people say was created by greeting card companies to cash in on. Actually, there is a history to St. Valentine's Day. Eight hundred years before the establishment of Valentine's Day, the Romans had practiced a Pagan celebration in midFebruary recognizing young men's rite of passage to the god Lupercus. It was a lottery where young men would draw a teenaged girl's name from a box. The girl assigned to each young man would be his sexual companion for the rest of that year. Pope Gelasius wanted to get rid of the Pagan festival. He ordered a slight change in the practice. Instead of young women's names being drawn from the box, the names of saints would replace them. Both men and women would then draw from the box. The people would then emulate the saint whose

Speaker to commemorate Black History Month BY MENA GANESAN
Staff Writer
I
o commemorate Black History Month, Campus Life and the Black Student Association are sponsoring historian and author Anthony Cohen to speak at UCO. "When most people think about black history and the freedom struggle, they think of Martin Luther King Jr. or voting rights," said Blake Fry, campus life director. "The students wanted to bring Cohen to UCO because his speeches about the Underground Railroad is a subject that is somewhat
=
overlooked and very important in American history." On May 4, 1996, Cohen embarked on a two-month long journey to explore the secret network that thousands of slaves traveled through to attain their freedom, the Underground Railroad. Cohen's first walk was so successful that he decided to take a second journey. He departed from Mobile, Alabama on Sept. 1, 1998 and reached his final stop of Windsor, Ontario on Nov. 29. A documentary film crew followed him and chronicled the trip for a possible feature-length film. "Cohen actually made the trek that the slaves made to get
a feeling of what they went through," Fry said. Hyperion Press will publish his account of his first journey, The Underground Railroad: A Personal Journey upon his completion of the work. Cohen will speak at 1 p.m. on Feb. 12 at Constitution Hall in the University Center. Following the event will be a reception in the Heritage Room on the 3rd floor of the University Center. Admission to the reception and the lecture are free. For more information, call 974-2363. •

FOR REALLY BAD AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, ILLEGAL OR JUST PLAIN WRONG ADVICE,
Rs k Daue if
alentine's Day (or V.D. for short) is just around the corner, and guys everywhere are in a state of panic. This has nothing to do with my column, but I like to point it out because hordes of guys in a last-minute panic flooding the flower shops and fighting over brown-leafed, limp half-dead roses amuses me.
With Valentine's Day coming up, I'm not sure what to get my boyfriend. He already has all the normal "guy" things. Help me find something meaningful that he will remember. —Guy Gift Giver
Dear Gee Gee Buy him beer.
I've been with this guy for about two months now. We fool around, and now I feel that he is only using me for his own sexual desires. Should I tell him how I feel or just leave him? — Used and Confused
It really depends on your background. Although I have always been an advocate of the one-night-stand, I must point out that it does not work for everyone. If you come from a more repressed background than mine (I was raised by hippies and bikers), you may not be ready for a sexual relationship, and that is OK. If you aren't ready, tell him. He may be understanding, or he may not. If he is, you can progress at your own pace until you are ready. If not, hopefully he admits it to you and you can find a guy who shares your views. Be firm though; many guys will claim to be willing to be celebate, only to take the next opportunity to guilt you into sex. Of course, you should ask yourself if your views on sex are a conscious decision, or merely mindless parroting of other people's views. The college years are a time of broadening horizons. If you are denying yourself this particular form of recreation just because of some abstinence brochure or your parent's lecturing, you could be short-changing yourself. You need to think long and hard about what you want and what you believe. You might find more strength to back up your convictions, or find those convictions have changed.
As Valentine's Day is approaching, single people are hating couples. What do you suggest I can do as a single person that will make me happy and not want to murder the happy couples? — Single Slayer
D ear S. S. Try locking yourself in a closet until April. If this is not feasable, take advantage of the situation by dressing up on Valentine's night, and hitting the club scene with a few friends. Valentine's is one of those times of year that people are desperate to be with someone, making those spur-of-the-moment hookups more likely. Sure, they fall apart a few weeks afterwards, but it is fun in the mean time. Try to remember that Valentine's Day is just another day. Sure, it is overhyped by florists, chocolatiers and jewelers, but it is just another day. Don't let it bug you. • I actually got more e-mails this week than I could fit into my column. I also felt that Used and Confused's letter was important enough to warrant real advice, even though I am supremely unqualified to give it. But fear not; the rest of the questions will appear in future issues of Ask Dave. To post a question to Ask Dave, simply e-mail me at the address below, I .M. me or log on to our online forum.
Are you a glutton for punishment? Is there a burning question that haunts your every waking moment? Do you just want to mess with my head? E-mail me at DaveGotBored@collegeclub.com or on AOL.
