Last chance to see award-winning play `Tea in a China Cup' Admission free for UCO students

By N. David Owens

StaWarner The Theater Arts department will be giving a free presentation of the award-winning play "Tea in a China Cup" at 8 p.m. Feb. 21 in the Mitchell Hall Theatre.

"Tea in a China Cup" is a story about three generations of a Protestant family in Northern Ireland.

The story is told by three narrators, the daughter, mother and grandmother of the family.

The time line of the play is from the 1930s to the present and outlines the struggles and experiences of the family.

As the story progresses, the timeline shifts and several flashback scenes occur, focusing heavily on Irish history and the political struggles of Northern Ireland.

"Tea in a China Cup" won six

awards in the 1999 Oklahoma portion of the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.

The play will be directed by guest director Dr. Charlotte Headrick, a professor in Irish studies from Oregon State University.

The play was written by Christina Reid, a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The cast will travel to Tyler, Texas to present the play Feb. 22 at the regional Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival.

Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.

The donations will go towards offsetting the cost of the cast's trip to Tyler.

For more information, call Mitchell Hall Theatre at 9743375.

New royals...

Tyelr Tully and Hillary Self smile as they begin their reign as the new Freshman king and queen. The couple was elected by a vote of the freshmen class after last week's campaign. They were crowned on Feb. 10 during UCO's home basketball game against Harding. Tully and Self were not the only winners that night. Both the men's and women's teams beat Harding.

H

igher Education Day at the capitol will be Feb. 29.

Participating as a presenter during the 9:30 a.m. general session will be Jarrett Jobe, president of the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association and his fraternity, ACACIA. "Higher education is one of the most important things you

can have in your life," Jobe said.

"Especially in Oklahoma, where higher education isn't perceived high priority by a lot of people in the rural community."

Presenters will give a brief speech outlining perceived challenges of this century and how attending a college or university in the state system

fter a certain hour, another breed of student occupies the campus.

or a semester or for a week, night students hurry to classes they barely have time to attend. These hours, between paid employment, other classes and household duties, are compacted and sacrificed in the name of knowledge.

UCO is not the perfect night school, the professors have few office hours and fewer opportunities for "real world" exposure.

The parking is plentiful, however, and there are no lines at the bursar counter, financial aid or enrollment. Of course, these offices are not open.

The knowledge gained in these classes goes toward the same degrees as day students. Should not the students have as full an experience as day students?

On the opposite side of the equation, night students often have overfull lives, as do many day students, and the tedium of the "real world" experience could seem a waste of precious time. Besides, they spent eight hours or more in the real world.

The occasional night students, those who take workshop or seminar classes, have the best of both worlds, access to administrative functions and clean rest rooms, and the convenience of classes fitting around a preexisting schedule and a professor who really wants to get home and finish that book.

Night classes are a special niche in the educational market. The availability of rare topics or the convenience of finishing those last hours or gaining a skill for the job cannot be weighed in traditional educational ways.

These classes truly round out the college experience.

Students bleed by Bookstore; spotted with needles in arms

By N. David Owens

Staff Writer The UCO Bloodhounds will be hosting a blood drive and 17 in front of the UCO bookstore.

"All donors get a free T-shirt and cookies, and a 20 minute phone card (donated by Sprint)," said junior Erin Palmer, president of the Bloodhounds.

UCO blood drives average about 100 donations.

Drives are held four times a year, two in the fall and two in the spring.

"A lot of Greek students give us their support," Palmer said.

Campus organizations get points that are counted when they are comp ng gainst each other, Palmer said.

The Bloodhounds will be working with the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) to have this blood drive.

"We need all blood types at al times, but the type Os are the hardest to keep in stock," said Edin Manning, UCO alumna and manager of mobile recruitment for OBI. "Type 0 negative is the universal donor, so there are higher demands on those," Manning said.

"Our blood supply has recently been hit really hard, due to a drop in donations because of the weather and the flu," Manning said.

OBI is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the blood needs of Oklahoma, Manning said.

Blood collected from OBI drives goes to supply over 70 Oklahoma hospitals, Manning said.

"With the support of groups like UCO, we can keep those hospitals supplied," Manning said.

Donors will go through a short interview and physical in which pulse, temperature and blood pressure are taken.

"Donors should be at least 17 years old, 105 pounds, and in generally good health, not experiencing flu or cold symptoms," Manning said.

Blood donation is very safe, Manning said.

All apparatuses used are sterile, and discarded after use, Manning said.

Aikido club holds competition

T

he UCO Aikido Club will have its first black belt demonstration 1 p.m. Feb. 20 in the Ted Anderson wrestling room of the Hamilton Field House, said assistant English professor Dr. Wayne Stein, faculty advisor to the Aikido club.

Stein will be demonstrating the black belt techniques that he had to perform to earn his black belt on Feb 8.

Stein joins UCO Curriculum and Instruction Professor Dr. April Haulman and Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. A. Edward Cunliff, who have also received their black belts through UCO. The Aikido Club's other black belt, Assistant Professor of Sociology Dr. Gary Steward, is 4th degree black belt in Judo and 2nd degree black belt in Aikido, which he earned while at Oklahoma State University.

wv,"

UCO Aikido Club.

"The overall attitude of the organization that we are in is that we are all students," Corey said.

Corey has been studying Aikido for 17 years, and still takes lessons at a school in Oklahoma City.

"The brown belts are probably 6 to 9 months off from black belt," Corey said of the approximately halfdozen Aikido students who may be attaining the black belt rank in the next year.

"Aikido is definitely a martial art, but it is very soft," Corey said.

"If you didn't like Tae Kwan Do, check us out."

"The underlying principle of the art is nonconfrontational force," Corey said.

This makes Aikido a very effective art for personal defense.

Legally, it is very hard to be held liable for damage that an Aikido artist does to an attacker, since Aikido only uses the attacker's force, and has no offensive moves, Corey said.

Aikido is one of the newest martial arts.

"Its roots are in Judo and Ju-Jiitsu and was developed in the 1940s" Corey said.

The UCO Aikido Club meets three times a week.

Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30 to 9 p.m., and Sundays from 1 to 2:30 p.m..

Also offered through the Aikido club are Kendo (the way of the sword), Judo (a grappling art), and Jyodo (short staff vs. sword).

Focusing on increased pay for the professors and faculty, as well as attracting prospective students to UCO, Jobe will propose measures to increase the quality of campus life.

Jobe wants to preserve the campus atmosphere and smaller classroom size that attracts prospective students to UCO.

Someone's in the kitchen...

UCO offers weekly cooking classes

By Allison Franklin

Staff Titer rihopping up an onion k...makes for some tears no matter who you are.

A group of 14 amateur chefs learned this firsthand Feb. 12 at the first in a series of cooking classes offered by UCO's Center for Learning and Professional Development.

"Cooking Made E-Z with Melba and Carol" is the title the eight-class series taught by local cooks Melba Lovelace and Carol Smaglinski in UCO's Human Environmental Science building.

"Comfort Food" was the theme of the first class in the series. The menu featured Hungarian hunter's soup, baked potato soup, frittata, chili cheese bread and butter braid yeast bread.

Throughout the class, Lovelace and Smaglinski offered —Staff photo by Chieko Hara class members tried-and-true Carol Smaglinski, cooking instructor, demonstrates several tips, such as as how to keep meat dishes at a cooking class on Feb. 12. The class was opened from darkening in - the to the general public for a small fee and are held in the refrigerator, how to thicken Human Envirormental Sciences Building.

soup, how to keep a cutting board from slipping, how to save and cut fresh herbs, and how to flavor sugar.

Lovelace and Smaglinski encouraged class members to ask questions and participate in the demonstrations.

Many kitchen stories and cooking philosophies, accompanied by laughter, were exchanged.

"Kneading bread is a very personal thing. It's like making love: everyone has their own position," Smaglinski said.

Kneading bread is one of Smaglinski's favorite kitchen activities. She considers fancyshaped breads her specialty.

Lovelace enjoys making desserts, especially cookies.

Both Lovelace and Smaglinski say they cook at home almost every night.

"We don't do recipes in public that we haven't first done in private," Smaglinski said.

Smaglinski has studied cooking extensively in London and Atlanta, and was the

assistant director of Rich's Cooking School in Atlanta. She is currently the star of her own cooking show, "Carol Cooks," which airs at various times throughout the day on Channel 39 in Edmond.

Lovelace has authored 10 cookbooks and has written a recipe exchange column in the Daily Oklahoman called "Melba's Swap Shop" for the past 27 years.

Lovelace and Smaglinski are both members of the International Association of Culinary Professors (IACP), and both have owned cooking schools.

"Between the two of us, we probably own 2,500 cookbooks," Smaglinski said.

Four. years ago, Lovelace and Smaglinski teamed up to teach a cooking class at Lovelace's home, and they say they've enjoyed cooking together ever since.

DiCaprio flick a fiasco...

`Beach' all washed up, columnist says

By J.W. Reagor SportsEditot

I

magine a tropical paradise on a deserted island, with white sands and plush green fields of marijuana.

To that recipe, add one of the highest paid male actors in the history of Hollywood, Lenardo DiCaprio.

Along with that throw in a few temper tantrums, a bit of insanity and much sexual tension, and poof, you have The Beach.

Carol Phillips, a full-time mother and worker for the Oklahoma Blood Institute, professes to be DiCaprio's biggest fan.

"I never thought this day would come," she said.

Phillips and her daughter won tickets from a radio contest and anxiously anticipated the movie's —Photo provided beginning.

When asked what she Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the Twentieth Century Fox release thought DeCaprio's crowning The Beach.' It is now playing at local theaters. role was she said it was a tossup between Titanic and Man in the Iron Mask.

"Its been nice knowing you..."

Richard follows his adventure to a cheap motel that puts him in touch with a French couple Francoise (Virginie Ledogen) and Etienne (Guillaume Canet).

The outcome was predictable, which took away much of the glory of the film.

As anyone could guess, the beautiful French woman and the sharp-tongued American were plagued with sexual tension.

As the journey progresses, the entourage finds their way to an island near Taiwan.

After a plunge from a cliff into the unknown waters below the true adventure begins.

Little did the trio expect to meet Keaty, played by Peterson Joseph at the bottom.

The discovery was a completely self-sufficient society led by Tilda Swinton, who portrayed the role of Sal. As a ruthless and unrelenting leader, Sal takes immediate interest in Richard and leads him down the road to his demise when she asks him to accompany her to the mainland.

This mistake ultimately leads to the destruction of perfection.

The dream has become a nightmare.

In order to keep their secret, members of the alien society are willing to fight to the death, as well as kill.

DiCaprio ultimately falls back into his type-cast role as a young man full of angst and performs just as he has in movies past.

His tears flow endlessly

and profanity is the order of the day, along with several pleas for understanding and forgiveness.

I can honestly say that the cinematography is amazing.

There is no other word for it.

The sheer beauty of the island makes me want to jump on a plane and land in Taiwan.

With the exception of Carlyle's duets with DiCaprio, this movie could be deemed a failure in the acting department. It was mediocre at best.

With the violence and profanity, as well as the drugs and sex, this is not a movie you want to take your kids, or sensitive adults to.

The saving grace of The Beach is the fact that it makes one think.

It takes all of the problems of modern society such as infidelity, rumors, pride and murder, and wraps them into one tight little package.

Phillips agreed that the movie was not all it was hyped up to be.

"I think the part was demeaning for him (DiCaprio)," she said.

On the beach its easy to turn your back but not so easy to forget.

Reviews are rated on the five star scale. Five is the best possible rating and one is the least.

Key injuries to the team included Matt Dodgen, Gable Sullivan and T.J. Tallent.
