Korbeci's parents offer thanks to Decocq family ur family has gone through extremely difficult moments because of the tragic death of our beloved daughter, Eni. She went to the United States with the dream to study, develop her strong personality in many ways and become worthy of herself, family and her country, Albania. She spent her first year with Bishop family while attending Bethany High School and then moved out with the Decocq family for three years to attend the University of Central Oklahoma. They loved and took care of her as if she was their own daughter. Eni was a brilliant student at school. Unfortunately her dreams were stopped quite unexpectedly while touching the hearts of her loved ones; family, relatives and friends. The loss of a dear member of the family is hard to bear especially at the age of 21. Eni was very dear not only to their family, but also to her friends and relatives, who will miss her immensely. It is a big loss for all of those who loved her, knew her kindness and experienced her friendship. She will be greatly missed. She was a proud citizen of her country, Albania, a country that she was planning to go back to

upon completing her studies, to make it a prosperous and a better place to live. It is for this reason that the Korbeci family is thankful to Ed and Maxine Decocq and to the American authorities for easing their pain by doing their utmost to bring her back to her home country, to her family, friends and relatives. They managed to do this in a very short time, only five days. Words of gratitude are difficult to express in difficult times such as this. The Korbeci family will be grateful forever to Ed and Maxine Decocq for their love, support and respect for their Eni. May God bless them! Note: It is our deepest wish to share this message with others via the Oklahoma TV channels so that they will know what kind of love and comfort was given to the tiny, unfortunate Albanian girl, our beloved Eni. Respectfully, Pranvera and Astrit Korbeci Tirana, Albania
Editor's note: Eni Korbeci was one of two international students killed Jan. 12 when a train smashed into the car in which she was riding.

hared governance" is a term often used by faculty and administrators to denote the mutuality needed for the maintenance and progress of a university. "Shared Leadership" may be a more accurate term. The interconnections of boards of regents, legislatures, faculty, administrators, and students are complex; yet, faculty leadership at UCO should be maximized. The faculty generally have primary responsibility for curriculum, research, faculty status (promotion, retention, tenure), and the educational progress of students. They determine requirements for degrees, as well as provide input on all significant committees of the university liaison, ad hoc, and standing committees. They participate in the selection of all academic personnel, including administrators. An oftenoverlooked faculty responsibility is that of determining the policies related to faculty salary increases. At the University of Central Oklahoma, several areas exist which indicate the erosion of shared leadership. The newly applied analogy of the corporate business model to the workings of a university, while applicable in certain distinct areas, is reductive in explaining the mission of a university as a whole. In the corporate analogy, administrators are chief executive officers, students are consumers, parents are stockholders, and faculty are wage-earning employees. Although this analogy may have a certain appeal, it obscures the mutuality of administrative and faculty efforts and erodes the shared leadership necessary for a healthy institution. Further, it obscures the basic inapplicability of this analogy in that the society
(or state) is the customer and the well-education student is the product. At UCO, top-down management is increasingly having the effect of attempting to silence the faculty. When administrative decisions are made without adequate faculty input, the whole university suffers. Decisions regarding the purchase of buildings and property, the hiring of administrators without national advertisement of positions and appropriate screening processes, the increasing employment of adjuncts to fill fulltime positions, the closing of fulltime positions without faculty input, and the creation of academic programs without due notice or discussion, all erode "shared leadership." The faculty need opportunities to vote on important matters: the selection of department chairpersons, faculty personnel employed in departments, members of ad hoc committees. The benign neglect of rank and seniority when selecting faculty for administrative assignments cultivates an atmosphere that is non-academic. At UCO, one area stands out as a gross injustice: the abridgment of the right of faculty to help develop the budget and to. regulate all matters relating to faculty salaries. In 1998, a survey completed by the Faculty Senate indicated overwhelming support for the faculty pay card. Yet, administrative decisions have been made which negate the equity insured by the pay card. The administration's advocacy of merit pay and/or market pay is another means for top-down control. It is time for UCO to give priority to the potential for shared leadership. I propose a President's Leadership Advisory Council composed in equal numbers of administrators and faculty members. The membership of this ongoing Council should include the President's Executive Council, representatives from both the Faculty Senate and the local chapter of the AAUP, as well as elected faculty representatives from each college. Let us work together toward a more meaningful progress for our institution.♌

lagued by turnovers and a less that stellar shooting performance, the UCO women's basketball team lost to Midwestern State 72-61 Saturday, Feb. 2, extending a five-game losing streak. Early UCO turnovers gave the Lady Indians the edge and lead that they maintained throughout the game. Perhaps the most exciting thing to happen for UCO came in the first period was a technical foul called on the bench. Suit coats were swinging when Coach John Keely became enraged after officials changed a block call on Midwestern to a charge against the Bronchos. Unfortunately, Coach Keely couldn't light the same fire under his offense. The Bronchos ended the first period behind 36-25 after Senior Keri Smith nailed a jumper at the buzzer. UCO's hustle and aggressive play paid off in the early minutes of the second period as a steal
and fast break by Alisha Meyers pulled them within three. Yet, the Bronchos were unable to capitalize on other key turnovers late in the period. Midwestern State stayed calm, sank their shots, and dashed UCO's glimmer of hope by pulling out of reach and staying there for the win. Seniors Meyers and Smith shined for the Bronchos. Meyers' hustle put her where the ball was as she led the team with 11 boards and 3 steals. Smith was the offensive powerhouse for UCO scoring 24. The game was a case of Midwestern managing to stay just a step ahead. Where UCO shot only 38.5 percent from the field and 63.3 from the line, the Lady Indians shot 42.9 percent and 77.8 percent. The Bronchos hope to jumpstart their offense Feb. 7 when they travel to East Central. UCO women's basketball will be back home Saturday, Feb. 9 to face the Southeastern Oklahoma Lady Savages-,. ♦

New student group founded Scholarship process for emphasis on diversity undergoes changes BY SARA MUNN
Staff Writer
A
new UCO student organization has been created, and there are no forms or restrictions for joining. If you're a UCO student, you can be a UCO Envoy. The program will include educational forums and offer community service programs, while attempting to build stronger ties between UCO and the surrounding communities. "This is completely separate from World Within, which we started last year," said Jarrett Jobe, coordinator of Student Programs. "UCO Envoys will include an emphasis on UCO diversity." UCO Envoys held their first
meeting Jan. 29th. Students in attendance were treated to a free meal in the Will Rogers Room followed by a free Blazers Hockey game. A survey and questionnaire helped select the Envoy student leaders. There are no prerequisites for joining UCO Envoys. "This program encourages everyone to get involved," said Jobe. "Not just the Greeks or the Honor Society, but every echelon of UCO student life."

Freshman year stressful, report says BY ]ERA STONE
Staff Writer reshman year can be tough on college students according to new research conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles. The 2001 report "Your First College Year" found 44.9 percent of the surveyed 3,680 freshmen rated their emotional health "above average" at the end of freshman year, compared to 52.4 percent in the beginning of the . year. "Entering college can be stressful for students because of the challenges they face in decision making," said Andrew Dowdell, a UCO freshman academic advisor. "A lot of students are on their own for the first time when they start college," Dowdell said. Tiffany Elam, freshman broadcasting major, agrees. "Now I have to do my own laundry and-I'm not too good at
F
it," Elam said with a smile. Elam said being away from her home in Claremore is a big change. "I have to drive two hours to get there," she said. Jennifer Garrett, freshman special education major, said it's hard for her to try to wake up early. "First class is at seven in the morning," Garrett said. Elam and Garrett both said the freedom of being a college student is the biggest change for them. "In high school you had to be inside all day pretty much," Garrett said. "Here you just come to classes and you can get help from your teachers and other students all day long." "There are more opportunities to do other things," Garrett said. Elam said she likes the fact that she can come and go without answering to her parents. "But if you come in too late and you have class in the morning, you
are going to be tired," Elam said. "You are responsible for yourself," she said. Garrett said being in the band in high school had taught her selfdiscipline, which is helpful in college. Elam said she had to learn some good studying habits since entering college. "Definitely go to class, and read and study," she said. She learned from her first semester that it was more stressful if she didn't keep up with her studies, Elam said. Dowdell recommends that freshmen take no more than 15 credit hours. "The most important skill for freshmen. to learn is time management," Dowdell said. Elam and Garrett are both taking 12 credit hours and have jobs. "It's good to get that first semester out of the way so you know what to expect the second semester," Elam said. •

COLLEGIATE
LETTERS Reader calls tax cut plan `fiscally irresponsible'
PRES S W I R E
WORD SEARCH
Superbowl Party irresponsible to simultaneously give away over $35 billion in corporate tax cuts. The President called the $135 billion deficit, "small and short term." But deficits beget debt, and debt is not short term. Deficit spending for national security and public welfare is justified, but every dollar that goes to corporations in tax cuts is a dollar of debt that the taxpayers have to pay off with interest.
fter watching President Bush's State of the Union Address, it is obvious that the president has much to learn about fiscal responsibility. For Bush to advocate another tax cut makes no sense considering the current budget situation. The Congressional , Budget Office has reported that the 2003 fiscal year will run at least a $14 billion deficit (This is after diverting $178 billion away from Social Security). With the President advocating to increase the national budget by more than $86 billion, it is fiscally
