Faculty may play part in VP decision By Lisa Tatum Staff!Niter

n hopes of developing a "joint ownership" of the future of the university, UCO's Faculty Senate presented President Roger Webb with a resolution suggesting faculty involvement in the selection of the next vice president of academic affairs. The resolution, delivered to Webb Thursday, encourages the president to establish a university-wide search committee to make recommendations on his selection of vice president of academic affairs with at least one academic member appointed by the Faculty Senate president. Dr. Roberta Sloan, Faculty Senate president, said the resolution was drafted by the five-member executive committee because of the importance the office of vice president of academic affairs holds for professors. "This office is one of the most important on campus because they head academics," she said. Other committee members echoed Sloan's sentiments. Dr. Ann Gleason, assistant professor of finance, said the committee wants to be clear that they feel this is an important position at UCO and the guidelines set forth in the resolution are the minimum criteria that should be considered. Other guidelines suggested in the resolution include: • The position should be filled following a national search; • The person selected for the office

Internet put on hold in UCO dorms By Mark A. Schneberger Ste rater CO's efforts to wire every dorm room to the campus computer network were derailed, slightly, last week, when residents said they would not support plans because they may be forced to pay more in tuition for the convenience. Responding to proposals recently passed by the Faculty Senate, the Resident Housing Associaion (RHA) met

to discuss encouraging the UCO administrration to push forward with networking plans. In the meeting members of the RHA commended the Faculty Senate for embracing a plan to wire all rooms with fiberoptics cable. But discussion ended quickly when Student Senate President and RHA member Sean Ridenour raised the money issue. "If you think this won't cost all of us

anything extra you're wrong. You'd better look at this closer," he said. Shortly after Ridenour's comments the association voted to postpone a vote on the issue until further research can be completed. Ridenour's objections were words members of UCO's Information Technology Committee—the group which initially investigated the issue— may have hoped not to hear.

eople gripe too much. Focus on the better things in life instead of concentrating so hard on the negative. So many students seem to have some small complaint or another about UCO, yet no one seems to take the time to do anything about it. Why complain? Look at all of the positive things that have happened on campus recently. The construction is over, we have several new buildings, more computers, new faculty and smaller classes. Sure UCO has some bigger problems, but the positive actions are being overlooked and insignificant problems are being enhanced. Stop and enjoy the different restaurants in the food court. Some campuses don't even have one. Appreciate the new classrooms and facilities. Walk around campus in the unseasonably warm weather without being run-down by a Ditch Witch. Just take one day and quit griping. Enjoy what's around and forget about petty annoyances. This may lessen the need for < editorials griping about griping. Pujan Roka IThe Vista

should have a terminal degree from an academic discipline as well as having significant years of full-time classroom experience at the university level; • The appointee should have some administrative experience at the university level; • President Webb should establish procedures for the selection of committee members from the administrative division of the university; • Student representatives from the undergraduate and graduate levels should also be considered as members; • The final selection recommendations should be completed before the end of the 1998 spring semester if possible. Webb said that while he does not feel compelled to let the resolution limit who will be considered for the job, he does agree that faculty should have a voice in the selection. "I want them to have input into the process and will look to them for that," he said. That response may be just what the senate was seeking. Executive Committee member Dr. Jere Roberson, professor of history and geography, told members of the Faculty Senate he is concerned that faculty recover a sense of belonging and ownership of the university. "Let us feel we are part of the system. We want to be a part of this," he said at the Jan. 22 meeting. Sloan said in the past it had been standard for the president to include a Faculty Senate member on university-wide search committees, but Webb was unaware of the practice. After learning that the search committee for vice president of student services was formed without a Faculty Senate appointee, the executive committee introduced the resolution which states the senate's belief that, if acted upon positively, will assure the faculty's confidence in the president and give them a feeling of "meaningful participation in the joint governance of the university." Sloan said although a resolution only expresses the mind of the Faculty Senate rather than demanding action, she hopes it will result in action. <

Dr. William Wallo, Art and Design associate professor and Technology Committee member, last week, said he had hoped all students would rally behind the proposal as a show of grass-roots support. "The students would also (need to) communicate the need and show grassroots support. It makes sense," he said. Fears of additional student

fees forthcoming may also have been premature. The Information committee, in their proposal, noted that the rooms may be linked at a cost of approximately $150-$200 per room. However, it did not tie the needed revenue to students. It did, however, note that dorm residents could be charged aditional unspecified

additional fees for acesssimilar to how telephone charges are added. Casey Moore, East Hall Council president, said he wasn't swayed by the committees research. He said all students on campus could suffer if the linking plans were pushed forward. "My concern is that the student technology fees could

go up for everyone on campus becuase of this, but not everyone will benefit. Only the (students) who live in the dorms will get anything out of it," he said. "That doesn't seem fair." Discussions centering on the dorm computer access issue are far from over, however. The RHA has planned to revisit the issue again in this week's meeting.

Dangerous Snacks HoHo recall due to contamination is no laughing matter By Mark A. Schneberger StalthWier

CO student snackers were warned last week—in a whole new way—that eating junk food can be hazardous to their health. The lesson came in the form of a recall of 13 Hostess products and Dolly Madison cupcakes, including HoHo's, Twinkies, and brownies, which may have been contaminated by asbestos and shipped to the campus. Asbestos, once used widely as an insulator, is known to cause cancer and other health problems. The recalled products have a "57" code as part of the expiration date on the package.

Almost all have expiration dates of Jan. 22 - Feb. 13. Parent company, Interstate Brands Corporation, called for the voluntary recall, but issued statements claiming the products were likely safe. Jerry Poston, account executive for Wonder and Hostess Foods distributors of Oklahoma City—a campus supplier of snacks—said his company was taking measures to ensure the safety of UCO students and the general public. "When things like this happen you have to do all you can and do the safest things possible," he said. "They've tested the products and say they think they are safe, but we'll be picking them up anyway."

Safety assurances were not enough to comfort all students, however. Several students said they planned to be more cautious in the future regarding their snack food selections. Jennifer Matthews, freshman, threw down her cupcake and spit out her chewed portion when she heard the news. She said she regularly chose Hostess Brand foods over others because of the abundance of cream filling. "That's the last time I bite into one of those," she said. "This is all I need." Other students took the news in a lighthearted manner. "My mom always told me food like this would kill me some day. Guess it could," said

Tom Smithson, an evening student. Still others showed no sign of caring, but rather continued eating their pastries. Roy Sutton, general counsel for Interstate Brands said the products may have come into contact with asbestos fibers Jan. 11, when workers in a Chicago plant inadvertently dragged insulation through an area where food is made. He said the workers had no knowledge that the insulation they were removing contained the cancer-causing material. The snacks involved in the recall are Dolly Madison Cupcakes and the following Hostess products: HoHo's; Twinkies; Light Twinkies; Cupcakes; Light Cupcakes;

Light Brownies; Chocolicious; Muffin-Oat Bran; Valentine; Hoppers; Dessert Cups and fruit pies. Concerned students, and those who feel they may have come in contact with a potentially contaminated confection are encouraged to call the local HoHo Hotline at 522-3948. <

UCO journalism students win state awards By Penny Hubbard Stantriter

n a contest pitting them against

large daily newspapers like The Daily Oklahoman and the Tulsa World, five UCO student journalists took home awards for their writing and newspaper layout talents Saturday night. The statewide competition, sponsored by the Oklahoma Professional Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, was held at the Westin Hotel in Oklahoma City and included divisions in newspapers, public relations, and electronic broadcast media. The newspaper category in which the UCO students competed consisted of three divisions: Circulations of 18,000 or more; circulations of 8,000 to 17,000; and circulations under 8,000. Judges combined divisions for several categories. Winning entries from The Vista included topics such as the death of a college student, day care centers on campus and aliens. The Vista winners are:

•Sandi Craig—third place in the human interest category and honorable mention in the general news category. •Rhonda Bowden—honorable mention in the news feature category. •Lisa Tatum—honorable mention in the news feature category. •Farzana Razak—second place for the news layout category. UCO journalism student Kelly Crow won first place in individual investigative reporting for a five-part series, "Shooting for the Stars: The Business of Luring Hollywood to Oklahoma," which was published in The Edmond Evening Sun. Former UCO journalism students who also took home awards were Penny Owen and Jack Money from The Daily Oklahoman. Carol Cole and Sherry Jones also won awards from their writing in The Altus Times. Jo Pydynkowsky took home several awards for work in The PiedmontSurrey Gazette and The Okarche Chieftain. Leslie Wakulich also won for her work at The Daily Oklahoman. It was Tatum's second year to win an

award for news feature. She won last year for a story about single parents on campus. Razak received comments from the judges praising her front page layout for

he tomb-like first floor of the Lillard Administration Building is beginning to show signs of life. Workers began tearing out walls, doors and carpet last week in Rooms 108, 110 and 112 to convert the area into a new office for President Roger Webb.

The cost of the project is estimated at $140,000—$80,000 for Webb's office and $60,000 for research and planning. Mike Brown, chairman of the regent's building committee said relocation of the offices will ultimately benefit the students. "It allows us to have a store-front experience with our customer who is the student," he said. Webb also noted the convenience factor for students. "It will be more accessible to the campus and more convenient to everyone," he said. Work is scheduled to be complete in late February or early March.

ENTERTAINMENT

New CD offers cross-culture celebration

une up the sitar and the guitar! Dust off the turntable, scrounge up some odd samples, and get ready to groove; Cornershop is throwing a party in India, and the rest of the world is invited. Ever since The Beatles began spiking their music with sitar in the 1960s, lots of bands have tried to incorporate Eastern influences with Western pop/rock music. Led Zeppelin did it. More recently, Soundgarden and Kula Shaker have done it. However, few bands have mixed

Eastern and Western influences as effectively as Cornershop does on their new CD, When I Was Born for the 7th Time. The album, Cornershop's third, is a cross-cultural celebration masterminded by the band's Anglo-Asian frontman, Tjinder Singh. Throughout the CD, sitar drones, record-scratching, looped samples, jangling guitars, and English and Eastern vocals collide over loose, funky beats to create a warm, synergetic collage of sound. In a nutshell, the band sounds like a more worldly version of Beck. The CD's current MTV hit, "Brimful of Asha," is a mindlessly fun creation. While playing a basic three-chord guitar riff, Singh sings about Indian movie songstress Asha Bhosle and about the simple joy of listening to records. The song's laid-back groove is enlivened by a lot of backward-sounding samples and a subdued string section. Throughout the CD, Cornershop is joined by a diverse selection of musical guests. Paula Frazer of the band Tarnation adds her sweet voice to Cornershop's groove on the countrytinged ballad, "Good to Be On the Road Back Home." Justin Warfield of Bomb the Bass performs a free-style rap on "Candyman." Also, the late beat poet Allen Ginsberg contributes spoken-word poetry over tribal beats on a song which

a lyric that draws a smile not only because of its silliness, but also because anyone who's ever been touched by music knows exactly what Singh means. After listening to When I Was Born for the 7th Time, it's easy to believe that Singh does rest his head on the "bosom" of music. His enthusiasm for the music of all nations is so contagious, he effortlessly reminds us what it's like to just let go of our daily concerns and let the music take over. Groove on!

Senior center Devin Baker recorded his ninth straight double-digit rebounding effort by bringing down 11 rebounds while adding 19 points. With the win the Bronchos improved their league leading record to 7-1 and their overall record to 15-6. The loss dropped Northeastern to 8-12 overall and 3-5 in LSC play.

Bronchos wrestle Turnovers, missed opportunities key victory from tenacious in close loss to Northeastern State Nebraska-Omaha By Darrell Weidner he Central Oklahoma wrestling team improved their dual record to 9-2 holding off a late comeback attempt from sixthranked Nebraska-Omaha Friday at Hamilton Field House. After trailing 19-6 following UCO's controversial 4-2 victory at 142, Nebraska-Omaha cut the deficit to 19-15, getting an overtime victory at 177 and scoring six points at 190 when Jose Medina pinned Edwin Lorne. Despite losing the heavyweight match 3-2, the Bronchos held on from success in the lower weight matches to sustain a 19-18 victory dropping Nebraska-Omaha to 5-4 in duals. After losing the opening match at 118, Matt Goodson gave the Bronchos the early lead by pinning UNO's Jeff Nielson at 4:50 in the second period The Mavericks countered with a 6-5 decision at 134 when

second-rated Breauman Creighton held off the Broncho's Joe Schneider to tie the overall score at 6 apiece. Central Oklahoma then took the lead for good and stretched the lead to 19-6 winning four straight matches beginning with Gable Sullivans' 4-2 decision at 142. Following Sullivans' victory at 142, the Bronchos got victory's from Jody Marple at 150, Matt Surber's major decision at 158 and Nathan Phillips 3-2 victory at 167 after UNO's Desmond Williford takedown in the final seconds was taken away after the mat official failed to start the clock on time. UCO's grapplers take the mat again next Friday when they travel to New Mexico. The Bronchos next home match is Friday, Feb. 13 when they host Central Missouri State.
