hanges in federal guidelines associated with federal student aid programs will allow UCO students to receive their financial aid checks on the first day of the semester and in one distribution instead of two.

The changes came as a result of the signing of the Reauthorization Act of 1998.

Former guidelines required that students with less than 24 credit hours who were borrowing for the first time wait 30 days into the semester before receiving their first financial aid check. "(Previous loan regulations were) always a complaint (of students), but it was regulatory and (UCO) had no power to change it. Now the guidelines have changed," said Sheila Fugett, director of Student Financial Aid. The new guidelines will also benefit students by allowing them to postpone repayment of their loans even if they are only enrolled half-time (at least six hours), without regard to when the loan was secured.

Former guidelines required that students maintain a fulltime status (at least 12 hours) or secure a new loan before being allowed to postpone repayment.

Not all universities are eligible for the benefits listed under the new guidelines.

In order for a university's students to be eligible for the new benefits the university must show that it has maintained a loan default rate below 10 percent for three

consecutive fiscal years.

Luckily for those students who desire to ,,et their financial aid as soon as possible, UCO has done just that.

Fugett attributes the low default rates at UCO to keeping students well informed on how to maintain and repay their financial aid loans.

When a student receives a loan for the first time they are required to attend a pre-loan counseling program, Fugett said.

The program provides students with detailed information on the various types of loans that are available and on ways to successfully manage their money.

In addition to the pre-loan counseling, Fugett says that students are also required to attend an exit counseling program which focuses on informing students of the various repayment options that are available to them.

Fugett added that, besides loan repayment counseling, UCO's career placement programs are also responsible for the decreasing default rates • See LOANS, Page 2

Club leaders hope fair boosts student participation

By Trent Dugas StaffWriter What do more than 14,000 UCO students have in common?

They all belong to a student organization on campus.

UCO's Spring 1999 Student Organization Fair for the more than 150 student organizations on campus will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., on January 27 at the University Ballroom Center A. Lynn Means, director of student activities, said the fair is a great opportunity to market and recruit.

"A student organization is a good way for students to connect with the university and give them experience at college and out in life. There are leadership opportunities, they learn organization skills, and time

management."

Barry Lofton, director of the Office of Multicultural Student Services, said ordinarily they have a decent turnout, with interested students leaving their name and telephone numbers.

Lofton's only concern was the location of the fair. He said, "Having the fair outside always gives us a better turnout than having it in the ballroom. In the ballroom, you are asking the students to go out of their way and make an effort to come to the fair."

When the fair is outside people who do not know there is a fair will stop by and see what you are selling or offering."

The organizations 'under Lofton's direction are the Black Student Association, Ebony Heritage Ensemble, First

Lofton said his organization tables include Indian, African and Hispanic themes and art.

They will also have brochures and information about the organizations.

Means said the cold weather is the main reason the spring fair is inside and she admits that the fall fairs usually have better turnouts.

Even with the large membership number, many organizations are frustrated with student and UCO involvement in organizations.

Robert Illidge, the Advertising Club's sponsor, said, "Usually we don't have a lot of people sign up. So we don't spend too much time setting up for the fair."

Means said the low turnout shows that everyone on campus needs to get more involved with recruiting.

"We send out flyers to the presidents and sponsors of the organizations letting them know the time for the fair is near. But we need as much help as possible, like faculty announcing in class about the fair and organizations and just getting the word out," Means said.

Dr. Billye Hansen, sponsor of the Students in Free Enterprising (SIFE) organization, said her organization gets plenty of students at the fair, but not many actually join.

"At the fair, people walk by but nobody joins. Or we may get plenty of applications but nobody shows up to the meetings or participates."

Hansen said she invites any students from any major to join SIFE because it benefits the future of the student. Hansen even offers the organization as a credited class for business majors.

"It behooves a student to get involved in student organizations.

There are great opportunities for the students to learn about business and develop projects and make contacts for their rĂŠsumĂŠ. But still, membership has really been down."

Barry Lofton Multicultural Student Services director Hansen also said the members take field trips, develop projects and enter them into contests, with a third of the award money, if they should win, going into their own pocket.

"It is very difficult to get students involved on our campus. It drives me crazy and sometimes makes me want to give it up when I see the lack of turnout. UCO has so much to offer students in activities and other things."

Hansen said in her 28 years at UCO, she has never seen student organization turnout so low.

UCO's career placement center provides students with "resume referral," which submits students' resumes to potential employers, said Gina Eastman, director of the Career Placement and Development Center.

Eastman said that the center invites employers from across the nation to UCO for job fairs, provides on-campus interviews

between students and potential employers and assists students in obtaining internships.

Eastman said that the center's services are used most frequently by junior and senior students, but added, "Career development is important even at the freshman level so that (students) can have a plan (for their future) and not just float through life."

MITCHELL Continued from front page the accident was caused by the parties not obeying the safety precautions posted on the lift.

Powers wrote, " The Genie Lift is appropriately placecarded with safety information, though the placecard needs to be

replaced."

"I live by myself in an apartment and I cannot do anything by myself now," Poarch said. "I can't feed myself, I can't drive, I'm not really sure if I can attend school this semester." <

Halls gassed, painted, carpeted over break

Dorm residents won't be bugged anymore

or college students, Christmas break was a time to travel, eat, and relax with family and friends. For three UCO departments, it was a time to paint, clean, install new carpet and spray for bugs.

Todd Duncan, director of Residence Life, said muchneeded improvements were made to East, West, and Murdaugh Halls. Facilities Management, Auxiliary Enterprise, and Residence Life departments worked together to repair and upgrade the dorms.

First on the list was routine pest control. "Preventive spraying is done multiple times throughout the school year," Duncan said Christmas break provides a prime opportunity to spray for bugs when students are not around.

Carpet in high traffic areas of the three dorms was replaced. The rest of the carpet, floors, and showers were deep cleaned In West Hall, new shower lights were installed. The lobby got a new ceiling, lights, insulation and air vents. Carpet in the television room was also replaced.

Touch-up painting was done in East and West Halls. More specific areas, such as the halls and stairwells, were repainted. The stairwells of Murdaugh Hall received nonskid strips. Duncan said that handrails will be installed soon.

New air vents were installed in 100 rooms of East and West Halls. Now, residents will be able to control the air flow into their rooms. Duncan said some students had complained that the air flow in their rooms was so strong it blew their papers everywhere.

Duncan is proud of the improvements made to the dorms. "Most were initiated by the school's continual desire to improve," Duncan

said. "Needs were assessed and the improvements were made when it would be the least inconvenience to students.

Working with two other departments to make the improvements is also something Duncan is proud of. "The real magic is it's not Todd out here campaigning.

It's the work of three departments and the school looking after the students' needs," Duncan said.

The upgrades to the dorms were paid for with student housing fees. "Non-residents by-and-large don't pay for these projects," Duncan said.

Student housing fees are also going to pay for two new pool tables and a ping pong table in East Hall. Even though non-residents can use the pool tables, Duncan said, "The priority for use is for residents since they are paying for it. But any student is welcome."

Pleasing many students, Todd Duncan helped make new ceilings, lights and air vents a reality in the residential halls.

According to the rules and regulations for risk management, any driver of a motor vehicle involved in two accidents within 24-months will be required to attend and complete the Motor Vehicle Improvement course.

The rules also state that any employee involved in two accidents within 24 months as a result of backing into and/or rear-ending another vehicle will be declared uninsurible by the Risk Management Administrator for a period of three months following the second accident.

Though the course is approved through the Department of Public Safety, insurance discounts do not apply to people who are required, by a municiple court, to attend.

StaitgliTgr At 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 18, UCO held what may have been its final celebration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. For the past seven years, UCO has sponsored the "March Around Campus." The event begins with lectures and speeches about King's life, and culminates with a symbolic march around the campus, said Barry Lofton, director of Multicultural Student Services.

The event has always been a success. Scores of students, faculty and staff always participate. People learn about King's life and mingle and enjoy themselves, Lofton said.

But future marches may not occur. Beginning next year, UCO — like many college campuses across the nation — will be closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This has produced some mixed feelings for Lofton.

"It's good that UCO is closing to show respect (for King), but it's kinda sad, too, that this year may be the last march."

Although the march will not likely continue in the future, Lofton said that he would like to see UCO honor King in some other way.

"Dr. King's life was just too important for us not to do something to remember him," Lofton said.

Students help charity provide Christmas gifts

By Stacy Brasher

StalfWriter Local, non-profit Citizens Caring for Children (CCC) sought the support of UCO beginning in November for their annual Christmas project. The request brought forth over one thousand dollars and several volunteers.

The response helped the organization reach its goal of helping more abused and neglected children than ever before during the holiday season.

In 1997, CCC gave over 600 local foster children and hosted three parties as part of their holiday campaign.

Last year, with the increased amount of community support, they were able to help over 730 local children.

"Santa Stop is our annual Christmas effort to help Oklahoma's abused and neglected foster children receive the gifts, parties and especially the love they deserve," said Diana Harbolt, CCC's Santa Stop coordinator.

Several individuals and groups from the campus invested volunteer hours sorting, wrapping and labeling the gifts, while others gave monetary and in-kind donations.

Individual UCO students donated just over $920 to CCC during December.

The UCO Oklahoma Music Teacher's Association adopted three childrens' wish lists, providing CCC with the gifts each child specifically asked "Santa" to bring.

The President's Leadership Council, after inviting a CCC representative to speak at one of their monthly general meetings, raised monetary and in-kind donations for the non-profit's Christmas project.

UCO's Gamma Beta Phi also contributed monetarily to CCC. "The holidays can be a really

tough time for some of these children," said Patty Pace, CCC's executive director.

"CCC tries to make Christmas special for them, giving them a positive experience to remember for years to come."

Sophomore psychology major Amanda Kemp was one of the many students who volunteered to wrap presents. "I was really impressed with everything CCC does," she said.

As the philanthropy chair for UCO's Delta Zeta sorority, Kemp's positive volunteer experience encouraged her to advocate that her sorority become more involved with CCC in the future.

Another UCO organization looking to help CCC soon is the Circle International club. The volunteer group invited a CCC representative to speak at one of their weekly meetings and later volunteered with the organization, sorting and cleaning toys at CCC's Resource Center in Oklahoma City. They hope to continue volunteering with the organization during the spring semester as well.

CCC began in 1984 and has since grown to assist over 2,500 Oklahoma foster children ranging from birth to age 21 with yearround assistance.

Some of the services provided by the organization include: independent living services, mentoring, career and educational development seminars and financial assistance with post secondary education.

CCC also provides foster children within nine surrounding counties free clothing, books, toys, bicycles and other such items through their volunteer-run Resource Center in Oklahoma City.

Experts warn textbooks can be real pain in neck, back

By Amy Cappiello StaffNHL& CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (CPX) - Ever stopped to consider that your backpack might have something to do with your backache?

Bags might come in an array of hip styles and colors, but with the number of back injuries rising in schools and on college campuses, physicians and chiropractors say it's important for students to consider function over form.

In 1997, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that more than 240 children were treated in hospital emergency rooms for back pain related to their backpacks and book bags.

More common is the gradual emergence of pain that comes after years of putting undue

stress and strain on the lower back - a predicament many college students report they now face.

Chas Gaertner, a chiropractor who has set up shop near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, estimates that most of his patients are much younger than the typical crowd hanging out in chiropractic offices. He said about 80 percent of his patients are either in their teens or 20s.

Their troubles are mostly posture related, Gaertner said.

He blames many of the ailments he treats on book bags especially those that are overloaded.

"I've treated kids in the 4th and 5th grade that had backpacks bigger than their torso," he said. "I've weighed bookbags that are 35-40 pounds."

Pace heavier books and items closest to the back, putting the center of gravity nearest the pelvis. *Tighten shoulder straps to draw the pack as close to the body as is comfortable. *Pick a pack that has padding in the straps and other areas that come in direct contact with the back to avoid jabbing and discomfort. *Sling bags with one long shoulder strap across the chest to better distribute weight.

Students carrying traditional backpacks should use both shoulder straps to ease the load. *Students who insist on the ever popular one-shoulder look should periodically shift their bags, using different arms to carry their loads.

Students try anything to make college cash

By Yuan-Kwan Chan CollegePressWriter WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (CPX) - When Leslie Kmetty agreed to spend last summer working as a personal assistant for a professor at the University of Iowa, she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

It wasn't the laundry, the cleaning or the garbage disposal that bothered her.

Nor was she really surprised when the professor depended on her to argue with air conditioning companies when a cooling unit went on the fritz.

No, there were other things for Kmetty to wonder and worry about - such as all those blankets the professor asked her to hang from ceiling to floor in the master bedroom.

Unable to determine why the bedroom was remarkably warmer than other areas of the house, the professor thought the blankets would block out enough sunlight to help determine

whether she needed to buy blinds for the room.

She asked Kmetty to monitor the room's temperature each day to determine if the heat decreased.

"But the worst part of it all," recalled Kmetty, a junior at the University of Iowa, "was laying mulch for 11 hours in her front yard."

It was odd, tedious and unglamorous work - but a job that Kmetty said helped her pay the bills.

College students and odd jobs go together like peanut butter and jelly. Whether the work is as mundane as stuffing envelopes or as risque as the stripping that author Heidi Mattson did in local clubs to pay her way through Brown University, college students have, throughout the years, demonstrated a willingness to do just about anything to make money.

Other students declare their work is done in the name of art. Depending on the school, nude models can fetch up to $20 an hour and count on onesession lasting three to five hours.

"In Dreams:" a reoccurring nightmare

By Julie Jordan

StallWriter

D

espite the re-release of "Psycho," the good old days of Alfred Hitchcock are definitely dead in the 90s. Suspense and solid characters are out, and serial killers and blood are in.

"In Dreams" is a perfect example of film makers attempting to cram the most death and gore they possibly can into 90 minutes.

"In Dreams" opens with scenes of a coastal town completely covered in water. The flooded ruin of a town is interesting in the beginning, but has a minor role in the overall scheme of the movie.

Annette Bening is Claire Cooper, a clairvoyant who dreams of her daughter's murder before it happens If you think I've ruined the At this point, we aren't movie by giving this able to say what's away, think again.

Claire is psychically linked to the murderer, and continues to have nightmares of him even while awake.

A couple of failed . suicide attempts later, the doctors, and her husband Paul (Aidan Quinn), think Claire should spend some time alone with only white padded walls to keep her company.

But even heavy drugs and the security of an asylum can't keep Claire from connecting with the killer and ultimately hunting him down.

Robert Downey Jr. plays Vivian, the psychotic child murderer hiding out in an abandoned cider factory.

He does a decent job at acting wild and crazy; but then again, practice makes perfect. jumbled incoherent plot and underdeveloped The horror genre has sunk to an all-time low in characters that we could care less if they end up the 90s.

ou say the Clinton Impeachment trial isn't enough of a legal thriller? You say you can't wait until next month's release of the new Grisham , novel? Well, fear not legal eagles, satisfaction is just a ticket stub away.

John Travolta and Robert Duvall team up in the courtroom drama, "A Civil

Action" (Touchstone). "A Civil Action" is based on a true story taken from the Jonathan Harr book of the same name.

"A Civil Action" is the story of a small New England community that suffers a terrible tragedy when several children die of illnesses believed to be linked to the town's drinking water.

The parents of the victims seek justice, but the' case is bounced from lawyer to lawyer until it lands in the

The cast is 'rounded out well with William H. Macy

and the - underrated Tony Shalhoub playing Travolta's partners. John Lithgow is great_as usual, playing the judge with questionable intentions.

Be warned, "A Civil Action" is a true story and therefore doesn't end like the usual Hollywood legal flick.

There are few courtroom scenes and those are not very compelling.

The strengths of this picture are its environmental message and the struggle, not just between good and evil, but between the attorneys that represent them.

Review: New book can make sex more exciting

You'll know the answers to here is often these questions and many more something erotic after reading the Guide. and even Suppose you have no interest forbidden about seeing your partner masturbate. This is just in vibrators, sex in public or as true for women watching men getting friendly with some mutton. Why would you read as for men watching women."

That quote from Paul The Guide to Getting It On? Joannides' book, The Guide to Well, it's a fun book that has started lively Getting It On conversations (Goofy Foot every time I've Press), probably shown it offended many around. people enough Seriously, that they the book could discarded this be a boon for newspaper.

That encounter—everything from Joannides is able to straddle the setting the mood to the fence between textbook and biological functions involved in trash for 668 pages is in itself a love-making are discussed.

Nearly every chapter is reason to read the book.

Those pages are packed with accompanied with quotes from more than most people would regular people sharing their want to know. Do you know experiences.

On another level, the Guide what criteria to consider when buying a vibrator? What kind of could be great for couples who lubricant won't wash away while have been together for a while you're having sex in the local and lost some of their public swimming pool? Did you enthusiasm for bedroom action.

T

No matter what you've done or where you've been, you will find things in this book that are new. And it isn't just another book of gymnasts assuming positions that would kill a regular person.

The Guide offers numerous ideas for spicing up a stagnate love life that will work for anyone—though you should be forewarned that inhibitions will have to be dropped.

The biggest problem with the

Guide is that it is not readily available...at least not in central Oklahoma. The book has to be ordered directly from the publisher. You can order the book by calling toll free 1-800310-7529. The cost for this trade paperback is $19.95, plus a nickel for postage and handling.

In less repressed areas of the country, the Guide has had a pretty good reception—in Newport, Ore. a hospital ordered several copies to keep on hand

for its patients.

However, one bookstore in California removed the book because a local preacher was coming in to pick up a tract he had ordered. Cosmopolitan magazine refused to print excerpts from the Guide, saying the text was too explicit.

So, should you order a copy?

You don't need to own this book to have sex, but, unless you're dead, you'll learn something to make your sex better.

Free throw deciding Factor in UCO win

By Ryan Haley SportsWriter

T

he UCO men's basketball squad recorded their first conference win of the season against East Central University at Hamilton Field House Saturday afternoon after 0-3 conference start.

The win followed a disappointing 77-75 overtime loss to Southeastern Thursday night when the 35 game home winning streak ended.

Eric Porter had a game high 21 points, while Eddie Robinson contributed 18 points and Antonio Sykes added 6 assists.

Saturday's game lacked energy in the first half, but it was exciting in the second half and the outcome was just what UCO

was looking for.

When asked about the game David Factor, who hit a last second free trow to win the game. said, "I'm just happy we won. We hadn't won in three games, and it felt good."

UCO played catch up the entire game after falling behind by as many as 20 points in the first half. By intermission ECU was leading 45-29.

Each time UCO made a run at the lead, they were quelled by ECU, whose shots fell at a rate of better than 45 percent compared with UCO's 35 percent.

UCO slowly began to heat up in the second half, and was able to chip away at the lead.

"It was just a great team effort, we all showed a lot of heart." Factor said.

UCO led 77-76 for the first time all afternoon with just 1:53 remaining on the clock. From there, it came right down to the wire. With the game knotted at 77-77 with 1:28 remaining, Only 0.7 remained when Factor stepped to the line. The game was in Factor's hands.

After missing the first, Factor sank the second to pull out the nail-biter with the final score of 78-77.

Eddie Robinson finished with a team high 21 points and 15 rebounds, while Porter contributed 20 points and 7 rebounds. Factor finished with 13 points and 5 assists, with Sykes adding 4 steals.

The Bronchos play again tonight at Cameron University in Lawton.

UCO fall sports highlight star players

By James Gutzmer

SportsEagr t was a wild ride for the Bronchos in the fall semester of 1998. The semester was highlighted by a 12-1 football season and a women's soccer team that made a great showing in their first season .

UCO women's volleyball spiked much of the competition riding on the back of star Adriana Crovador. They finished the season 23-12. Four Bronchos made the all LSC volleyball squad.

They were Crovador, Arwin Ray, Amber Bateman and Karen Posey.

Crovador, a 5' 7" junior outside hitter from om Jenks, made the LSC team for the second straight year. She had 345 kills, 254 digs and 43 service aces to

lead UCO. UCO men's and women's cross country teams faired well at the UCO/Arcadia Lake and at the ECU invitationals.

The men's team finished in fifth at Arcadia Lake. The runners got second place at ECU. The women finished in second place at Arcadia Lake. The women also took first in the team standings at ECU. UCO got its first taste of women's soccer in fall 1998.

The Bronchos finished their inaugural season 11-9 overall and 4-4 in Lone Star Conference.

The Bronchos soccer team was lead by freshman Georgia McGinty, who ended the season with 13 goals, 14 assists and 40 total points. Her 14 assists set a LSC record for the most in a single season.

The Bronchos fielded a team

of mainly freshmen, including three players from Canada.

The Broncho football team held the number one position in NCAA Division II for the first time in school history. The season was highlighted by a win over Texas A&M-Kingsville in week two of the season. The Bronchos finished a historic season 12-1 losing to Texas A&M-Kingsville in the second round of the Division II Championship Tournament.

Quarterback Scott Condict picked up $10,000 in scholarship money for UCO from Burger King.

Johnny Luter and Reggie Donner were standouts for the Bronchos.

Donner achieved over 2000 Constant Pressure ... rushing yards while Luter led Jeremiah Constant puts a Chadron wrestler in a headlock last Saturday at Hamilton Field House. UCO defeated the team in tackles.

Chadron 24-16 in dual action. Constant led the assault, needing only 48 seconds to win his match after the Bronchos fell behind 9-0 . (Staff photo by Shauna Hardway)

THEVISTA

On Tuesday night, impeached President Bill Clinton delivered the _annual State of the Union address. He said very little about the actual_ state of our union, but he did propose many, many programs of government intervention to make our country better—at least by his standards. One of his suggestions involved raising the minimum wage by $1 over a two-year period to help people who can't provide for themselves at the current $5.15 per hour.

As Rep. Steve Largent (R-Okla.) pointed out in the Republican response to Clinton's speech, we don't need a minimum wage increase—we need a tax cut. We do not need Clinton to force private businesses to increase our pay, and thus our taxes. We need the government to let us keep more than just 60 percent of the money we earn. Clinton and his Democratic supporters seem to fancy themselves as modern Robin Hoods, robbing from the rich to give to the minimum-wage-earning poor. The legends never say that Robin Hood kept 40 percent of what he stole from the rich. However, that's what Clinton and his big government advocates are doing.

The only real similarity between Clinton and Robin Hood is that they are both very popular men accused of criminal activity.

South Park doesn't deserve criticism

What's the most popular show on television today? If you answered anything other than "South Park," you may not be in the loop.

For those of you who don't know, "South Park" has been the hottest thing to hit television since "The Simpsons," yet it is beginning to draw a lot of fire from people who misunderstand the show's humor or haven't even seen an episode.

Many people complain that "South Park" is inappropriate for children.

Well, no joke! That's why they have the really big "TVMA" symbol on screen before the show starts along with a disclaimer that the show may be inappropriate for some viewers.

It is troubling that department stores are selling Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman dolls to kids. Even more disturbing is that 8-year-olds know all of the characters including Mr. Hat, the

gay hand puppet of Mr. Garrison the school teacher.

But should the show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, be blamed for all of that?

No! Try leveling criticism at the parents out there who\ aren't exercising enough control over what their kids are watching on television. Critics of the show also rant about it when they either haven't even seen an episode or haven't taken the time to let the story line sink in.

Take The Birmingham News, for example. It described the ever-lovable Chef as the school's exploited, black janitor.

The Chef is hardly exploited. He is one of the pivotal characters on the show. And Isaac Hayes, who does the voice for Chef, was the perfect choice. It's hard not to laugh every time the Chef asks students, "How are my little crackers today?"

The Birmingham News also goofed when it erroneously printed that the child-character Kenny is "murdered" on every episode. Everyone who watches the show knows the line, "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!"

While Kenny indeed dies on

every show, he's no more murdered than is Wile E. Coyote, who has an infinite number of anvils dropped on his head; it's the same concept.

Recently, for example, Kenny was killed when Ozzy Osborne bit his head off. Yes, it was sick, but it was funny! Kenny has also been killed by wild turkeys, pet goldfish, the Chinese national volleyball team and a falling pine tree.

For those folks appalled that anyone could defend the show, bear in mind a paraphrased thought from comedian George Carlin: If you don't like South Park, there are a couple of buttons on the remote control — one that changes the channel, and the other, which turns off the television.

"South Park is not suitable entertainment for everyone. But some people shouldn't have the right to determine what everyone else is able to watch on television. That is an infringement on our right to choose.
