The sketchbook he uses is filled to overflowing with future projects; some drawings are shaped like a piece of plastic that has been tossed in a fire and retrieved promptly. Others are a simplistic approach to ordinary bedroom furniture consisting of straight lines and hard metallic edges. One thing is clear; every design that is sketched ends up on opposite ends of the artistic spectrum. Robinson grew up in Stillwater and wasn't exposed to the environment most artists long for.

His artistic future needed more than the flat plains and roaming cattle of central Oklahoma could provide. He needed new experiences and new places where he could cultivate his talent and broaden his work. "The high school didn't offer an art class and I lived in an area where agriculture was the main occupation. Growing up, the closest link I had with artistic expression was my grandfather, who painted things such as windmills, cans and flowers, and my father who was an engineer."

Students celebrate Chinese new Year BY SARA MUNN

"spring cleaning" that occurs one month before New Year. According to Pham, the house should not be cleaned or swept once the New Year holiday begins. "You might sweep the good luck out of your house," Pham said. Children are given red envelopes, called Li Xi, which are filled with money and are symbols of good fortune. Certain foods are considered good luck during the New Year celebration, said Pham. For example, lotus seed is eaten for "many male offspring," and black moss seaweed is believed to bring wealth. The festivities began with the "Welcoming of the New Year" with a traditional lion dance, performed by nonprofit dancers from a local Buddhist temple. Pham explained to the audience that the dance was symbolic for chasing away the bad spirits of the previous year.

American Student Association (AASA) and the . Malaysian Student Association (MSA) celebrated the UCO's first annual Lunar New Year Celebration, which honors Chinese New Year. The event was held Tuesday night, Feb. 19 at the First United Methodist. Church activity center. Chinese New Year began on Tuesday, Feb. 12, with the first new moon and the celebration continues for 15 days. "This is the biggest holiday for Chinese people," said public relations major Jessy Fung. "When I was a kid, I would get so excited." "Our Lunar New Year is celebrated by a lot of different countries in Asia," said Jef Pham, the master of ceremonies for the celebration.

LETTERS Professors rebut analogy in Johnson's Feb. 19 letter e in the Philosophy Program would like to respond to Professor Russell Jones' analogy of Feb. 19: "If a non-profit hospital employed two physicians, one an organ transplant surgeon and the other a surgeon that specializes in the treatment of hangnails, would the pay of the two be the same? If I understand Dr. Mayfield's argument correctly, she believes that the compensation should be equal because both are surgeons." Given the analogy he provides, it is evident to us that Professor Jones does not understand Professor Mayfield's argument. In comparing Liberal Arts faculty to those who treat hangnails, and Business Faculty to transplant surgeons, Professor Jones misses the point. We agree with Jones that transplanting organs is infinitely more important than treating hangnails, because transplants save lilies and hangnail treatments do not. That is one of the reasons that organ transplants cost more (other reasons being expertise required, etc.). But is there a comparable reason to agree to the importance of Business over Liberal Arts? In the case of the

medical example we can appeal to the noble purpose of organ transplants to establish their superiority. That is, they fulfill the most important part of the mission of the medical profession. Is the mission of Business faculty inherently nobler than that of Liberal Arts faculty? Is the mission of education in general so much better served by Business than by Liberal Arts? The fact that the transplant surgeons are paid more is not what justifies a claim to their superiority. Instead, it is the fact that they save lives, and fulfill the central mission of medicine. Likewise, the fact that average salaries for Business faculty tend to be higher than those for Liberal Arts cannot establish any inherent superiority on the part of Business. Professor Jones' analogy, therefore, fails. Sincerely,. Eva Dadlez, Associate Professor of Humanities and Philosophy Brendan Lalor, Assistant Professor of Humanities and Philosophy

First UCO Envoys activity planned for Feb. 26 BY SARA MUNN

he new student association, UCO Envoys, will have a campus-wide scavenger hunt at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 26 in the Will Rogers room of the University Center. The hunt is tentatively titled, "There's a world out there to find." "This is one of our fun and interactive events," said Jarrett Jobe, coordinator of Campus Life. "We encourage students who want to meet new people [to attend] and learn about diverse cultures. There are no prerequisites to join." This will be UCO Envoys' first activity. The association has a student board that helps to plan events. However, Jobe and Blake Fry, director of Campus Life, take over most of the scheduling duties. "We want this group to not be overwhelmed with planning. Blake (Fry] and I do most of the planning so that students can just show up and have a good

Speaker discusses life under FBI surveillance BY LAURA BELLO

Senior Writer ocial studies teachers from across the state met with a modern day American hero at the Oklahoma Council Social Studies (OCSS) Winter Conference at 7 p.m. Feb. 15 in the Nigh University Center. Michael Reggio, state OCSS coordinator, introduced the keynote speaker Frank Wilkinson as such at the opening of the conference. The conference titled, Freedom in the Balance: Teaching Social Studies in Perilous and Uncertain Times is provided to give social studies teachers new ideas and new developments to relay to their students, said OCSS President Beverly Murray. Keynote speaker Wilkinson told a bit of his life history. He had refused to testify in court during the McCarthy Era because he felt the accusations against him violated his First Amendment rights. He was subsequently sentenced to one year in prison. However, the government's involvement in his life did not end there. Reggio said Wilkinson is a modem day hero because of the way the FBI tracked his life. and committed a number of illegal acts against him. He is now an expert on First Amendment

MY TURN 1 011*‘ Tyler Tully Speaker of the House, UCOSA

r e those desks comfortable?

Do you like dodging falling ight fixtures while in class at the Liberal Arts Building? Do you enjoy the lack of paint in Murdaugh Hall? Or what about the constant flooding in your Music building? Money. It's not just a Pink Floyd song. Where does UCO get their money, and where do they send that money? In a strange yet simple way, the answer to these questions all point back to the Oklahoma Legislature. My friend, Derek England, was so pissed off about the lack of funding UCO gets, he decided to make a PowerPoint presentation that even Bill Gates would be proud of. It is amazing what you can find out when you really want to know. Access to the Internet and a library card can get you into a lot of trouble. The bias and disdain we found out that our Oklahoma Legislature and Board of Regents have for UCO is incredible. UCO's primary budget is right at $73,466,000. That's a lot of money. When people see $73,466,000 they might ask themselves, 'how did the College of Arts and Media Design get so screwed over', until they see other Oklahoma colleges and universities' budgets. The University of Oklahoma (OU) gets $241,791,834! That's a whole lot more money than we are getting. Oklahoma State University (OSU) gets $204,833,947 — again a lot more money. Tulsa Community College (TCC) gets $71,270,436 — $2,195,5 64 less than we do. Northeastern State University (NSU), the regional school second largest to Central, gets $51,332,749. Now that's more like it. Here is where things get really messed up. OU has 23,655 students. UCO has 60 percent of OU's student population, yet only receives 30.4 percent of OU's budget. OSU has 20,965 students. UCO 67 percent of their student enrollment,

yet the Board of Regents says we only get 36 percent of their primary operating budget. NSU has only 7,962 students, compared to UCO's 14,092. NSU has only 56 percent of our population, yet receives 70 percent of our budget! When you look at what the state legislature gives to other universities per student it should make you sick. UCO is at the bottom of the totem pole. We are the lowest-funded university per student compared to OU, OSU, SWOSU, NWOSU, SEOSU, ECU, NSU, and Cameron University. Oklahoma's Congress would have you believe that a UCO student is worth $453 less than your average Cameron University Student is. My education is currently worth $2438 less than any random student at SWOSU is. You are worth $1,234 less than any one of the 7,962 students at NSU. I have a dream. In my dream our honorable legislators and Board of Regents truly have a sincere passion for education in Oklahoma, unbiased by any team mascot color. They have read the reports that say UCO and its students had an Estimated Annual Economic Impact on Oklahoma County in the amount of $275,000,000 last year. In my dream, they acknowledge the fact that UCO is Edmond's largest employer, and they listen to true friends of UCO like Edmond Mayor Saundra Gragg-Naifeh, and City Council member Charles Lamb. They even acknowledge the fact that last year UCO was behind OU by only 424 bachelor degrees awarded to graduating seniors. In that Never-Neverland of a twilight zone where Oklahoma's Congress and Board of Regents recognize the sheer worth of UCO and its impact on Oklahoma, there are streets paved with gold, and it rains M&IvI's from the sky. If it's raining outside and your professor has to stop class before you drown, think about all our Regents who don't care about higher education in Oklahoma. If you're tired of not having enough money to put on a show in Mitchell Hall, thank our state Congress who thinks our education is worth less than others are. Before you criticize President Roger Webb, you should remember that when Regents don't care about your education at Central, it's a lot easier to cut budgets than to reward those who really deserve it. •

Lady Reds gun down relentless Bronchos

Weary Bronchos can't hang with NSU in final stretch

BY DARA LAWLESS

Sports Writer

he Broncho women's basketball team played their final home game resulting in a heart wrenching 82-73 loss, falling to Northeastern State's incredible offensive force Tuesday, February 19. The Lady Reds shot an impressive 56 percent from the field and sported four players scoring in double digits. The NSU offensive threat came from too many places and was too potent for the Bronchos defense to stop or offense to keep up. "We played . pretty well but it's hard to stay up with a team when they shoot like that. We fought hard and battled back to get close late in the game but didn't have enough left to pull it out," Coach John Keely accurately summarized. Early in the game a tough Lady Red man-to-man defense made UCO force the ball into bad places and take the wrong shots. Yet Ami Guffy, shooting 66 percent for the game, managed to pull UCO back into play with some timely treys. The NSU offense moved the

n a. home final that was reminiscent of so many UCO basketball games this season, the Bronchos could not keep up their intensity in the second half as the fell to Northeastern State 93-78 at Hamilton Field House Feb. 19. The Bronchos only trailed by six at the half despite NSU shooting 64 percent from both the field and 3-point range. It was the continued hot shooting in to the second half by NSU that doomed the Bronchos. "It's hard to beat a team when they shoot like that," UCO coach Jim Seward said. "We made a couple of runs at them, but we didn't come out ready to go in the second half and that killed us." Staying with the Redmen showed a lot of heart from a Broncho team that only suited up seven players. Even though it was apparent the long minutes were weighing on the depleted UCO squad, they still gave it their all until the final buzzer. UCO wa,s able to overcome an early 8-point lead by the Redmen

with persistent rebound and strong free throw shooting. The Bronchos managed a 37-35 edge on a Dantrail Coleman lay up with 4:47 left in the first half. The Bronchos took their last lead of the night at 41-40 at the 3:04 mark in the first from a jumper by Demario Combs. Combs was a spark for UCO in the first half with seven points and three rebounds to go along with some inspiring defensive play. NSU went on a 13-4 run to open the second half that put a 15-point gap between them and the Bronchos. UCO could not pull within 11 the rest of the game. The Redmen had five scorers in double figures and improved on the year to 24-1. Coleman was able to reach a Broncho milestone, scoring the 500th point of his career on a 3pointer in the first half. Coleman led UCO in scoring with 23 points while Jones had 19 with seven rebounds and Jason Prichett added 15 points and 6 boards. The Bronchos fell to 10-14 for the season. •

olid arms and some timely hitting gift-wrapped the complete package for UCO as they slapped a double header sweep on Central Missouri State, winning 4-3 and 10-6 Saturday, Feb. 23 at Broncho Field. Blake Honeycutt and Kirk Gore both had strong pitching outings for wins and Anthony Reed came on in relief to mop up the remains. "Blake and Kirk both had solid outings for us, Anthony came up big for us also," coach Wendell Simmons said. "Our hitting was a lot better than has been in the last few games." It was Honeycutt that carried the Bronchos in the first game. He gave up seven hits and compilied 10 strikeouts in the game to improve to 3 70 on the season. Despite a bumpy first and second, Honeycutt was able to work through it, "Coach told me to settle down and have some fun." The south-paw was able to get his pitches down and get into a groove until he was relived by

Vienna and one of the authorities in the field of historical performance practices. "We've been friends for a long time," said Ralph Morris, Chairman of UCO School of Music. Morris had studied with Melkus during the eight years he was studying music in Europe after college. "We just kept in touch," Morris said. Melkus will rehearse with the

e and ra or

UCO Chamber Orchestra members who will visit Vienna March 15 through 21. A concert will take place 8 p.m. Feb 27 in the new Jazz Lab located off Boulevard on 5th street. The performance will include music of Bach, Vivaldi, Tartini and Schubert, and will also feature faculty members Theodora Morris, Hong Zhu and Morris. "This is just such a terrific chance for UCO students to work with an internationallyknown musician," Morris said. "It benefits the campus and the whole community," he said.

Melkus is presenting two free public lectures during his visit. What We Learn From Comparative Arts: Music with Painting and Sculpture was held on Feb. 25 in the Pegasus Auditorium in the Liberal Arts Building.

Casting in John Q saves film from being complete waste

he Denzel Washington vehicle, John Q, directed by Nick Cassavetes, is foremost a movie with an agenda. The political .agenda ended up overshadowing the excellent basic idea of the movie, which is a pity. John Q. Archibald, played by Washington, is a clown-on-his-luck blue-collared worker who. has to scramble to pay for his son's heart transplant when his insurance wouldn't cover the surgery. When the hospital administration decides to release his son, in essence sending him home to die, Archibald takes the drastic action of holding the hospital staff and some emergency room patients hostage. Robert Duvall is the police hostage negotiator, Grimes, who is not exactly sympathetic but tries to do what he considers is the right thing under the circumstance. Enter Monroe (Ray Liotta), the media-whore of a police chief who,. of course, is seeking re-election and will do whatever it takes to "make the whole thing go away." There is also the hospital administrator, Rebecca Payne (Anne Heche), who is blocking the way for Archibald to get his son

Mike (Daniel E. Smith) on the organ transplant waiting list. Without a doubt, this is a movie with something to say. As a matter of fact, Cassavetes himself has a daughter that was born with a congenital heart disease. However, the script by James Kearns, while definitely giving the audience a few heart-stopping scenes, fails to deliver the tightnes and smoothness that would have make this an A movie. Washington's character, in the end, is pushed upon the audience as the hero instead of a father who has done everything he could to save his son's life. That intention is made pretty clear by the gathering of the bystanders who applaud Archibald every chance they can a la Dog Day Afternoon style. The caricature of a hostage group led by the hilarious Eddie Griffin, with the obvious intention of providing comic relief, in a way backfires when it was done to the excess. I find myself wondering if this was supposed to be a comedy or drama several times. I sincerely doubt it is any of the filmmakers' intention to make the movie an Airheads counterpart. The ending of the movie shamelessly plugs the political agenda that health care needs reforming and turns the entire movie into sort of a public announcement. The gunshot we hear leaves no explanation of the result of it and seems to serve only

Washington and the aforementioned strong supporting cast, plus Kimberly Elise as Archibald's wife and James Woods as the cardiovascular specialist, gives the film one of its few consolation prizes and saves it from being a complete waste. •

Oklahoma State holds dedication for crash memorial BY OWEN CANFIELD

AP Sports Writer

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) --Relatives and friends of 10 men killed in a plane crash last year shared tears and hugs Saturday during Oklahoma State University's dedication of a memorial to the victims. The memorial, located in the southwest lobby of Gallagher-Iba Arena, features a black granite wall with likenesseS of each of the victims and inscriptions chosen by family members. The centerpiece of the memorial is a statue of a cowboy, kneeling in remembrance of lost friends. "We've said we'll never forget, and this sculpture I hope says it as loudly as any words," said Harry Birdwell, university vice president. Both pilots, two players and

six other men associated with the university were killed Jan. 27, 2001, when their plane crashed in a field near Strasburg, Colo. A memorial to the victims was dedicated at the site in August. Many of the 80 family members wept as the memorial wall was unveiled and a soloist sang a song called "Where There is Love." University President James Halligan said the memorial is "an integral part" of a promise made by the school to always remember the victims. "We will keep them in our hearts," he said. "Let us all collectively commit to that, with our last breaths. We will keep them in our hearts." The memorial is located in a high-traffic area of the arena — near the entrance to the athletic department's academic center

Car insurance from GEICO Because ifs never too early to begin making sound financial decisions.

and the entrance to the arena's hall of fame. "The reason we chose this place is because many, many generations of students will pass in front of the memorial, as well as the many thousands who'll visit Heritage Hall," Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips told those gathered. "We just felt this was an opportunity as people pass by to have ati opportunity to stop and reflect on the 10 wonderful people we have lost and their impact on our lives." The statue, sculpted by Oklahoma artist Harold Holden and titled "We Will Remember," was unveiled by relatives of five victims — the grandmother of basketball publicist Will Hancock, the mother of player Nate Fleming, the brother of student assistant Jared Weiberg, the daughter of trainer Brian Luinstra and the widow of radio play-by-play announcer Bill Teegins. Also killed were pilots Denver Mills and Bjorn Fahlstrom, player Dan Lawson, radio engineer Kendall Durfey and director of basketball operations Pat Noyes. "I think they did a wonderful job," said Zane Fleming, father of Nate. "It's really difficult to see your son's face on a wall in

granite, but this was not as difficult as the Colorado memorial was. "Harold Holden's statue is spectacular. It's a beautiful spot to remember all 10 of these men." Hancock's father, Bill Hancock, also said he thought the memorial was well done. "We want everybody to remember," he said. "As strange as it sounds, there's sometimes I wonder if anyone will remember." The ceremony also included introductions of people who traveled from Colorado, including officials from the sheriff's department in Adams County, the Strasburg Fire and Rescue service and the owners of the land where the plane went down. Halligan choked up briefly as he recounted a recent conversation with a reporter who asked whether anything good had come from the crash. "I told him it's hard for me to imagine, but I have to say the people of Strasburg are just what this country is about," Halligan said. "They are just wonderful." A final report on the cause of the crash is expected this spring from the National Transportation Safety Board. •

LETTERS Reader sends UCO `words to ponder' Genesis 1:26-27 "And God said let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth." So God created man in his own image in the image of God created he him male and female created he them. We're God's people and he said in John 3:16 for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Jaguar Wright's new album purrs with soul BY J.W. McBEE Staff Writer

ith Jaguar Wright's voice it is no surprise that R&B recording artists The Roots are impressed with her — so impressed they signed'her to their own label, Motive Records. On Wright's solo album

Denials , Delusions , and Decisions, she pours out talent that seems to have developed through endless practice and thought. As soon as the album starts playing, her talent manifests in a sort of soulful stew that lends to an enjoyable listening experience. The most memorable song on the album is the track The What Ifs with its slow and passioned groove and the crescendo that draws to a conclusion of pouredout emotion. This emotion seems to have been influenced by her own life in Philadelphia as a rapper with the Philly Blunts. When the

Philly Blunts disbanded, she headed for studios only to be given a chance to perform for Motive Records. After this initial performance she was signed to a recording contract and was on her way. T h sounds on this album were well produced and the effect shows up in the product. As an album full of diversity, Wright's

Train and Jay-Z's MTV Unplugged performance, Wright's name is sure to come up in the next year. •

Denials , Delusions, and Decisions is a sure winner. With her solo 0© 2002 MCA MUSIC CORPORATION OF AMERICA album out and her Jaguar Wright's solo album, Denials, Delusions and appearances Decisions shows influence from her time as a rapper on Soul with Philadelphia rap artists, Philly Blunts.
