Editor's note: This story was made possible through a packet of printed email left at The Vista's offices by an anonymous source. CO's efforts to comply with a federal grant mandate related to faculty enhancement will result in the elimination of the newly-built group study areas on the 2nd floor of the UCO library this semester. According to an e-mail sent to Carol Barry, executive director of the library, from Dr. Karen Doud, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, an impromptu decision was made shortly before the Christmas holiday to convert the group study rooms to faculty enhancement offices. Barry does not agree with the decision to use library space for non-library purposes. "In the most literal sense, Chambers Library belongs to the students. The revenue bonds that funded the library's addition and renovation are paid with a student fee," Barry said. According to Barry, students pay a library construction fee of $2.50 per credit hour. In an answer to Barry's e-mail,

Spanish majors Michele Moore (left) and Ofelia Fritz meet on a regular basis in one of the library's group study rooms. The rooms
will soon be closed to students to make room for office space. Doud stressed the importance of UCO's compliance with the federal grant regulations keeping time constraints in mind. "The Faculty Enhancement area in the library seems to be both the best and only option we have at this time. "... Although the solution we have selected is not ideal, we understand that other student study spaces need to be identified and developed. The constraints of time
dictated that we take action immediately," Doud said in an email to Barry. Jerry Cherry, writer of the federal grant proposal, said, "We knew when the grant was written [beginning Dec. 10, 2000] that there had to be space to train faculty and for supplemental instruction for students." Barry disagrees with Doud on the amount of time and the number of students who use the
rooms. "Not many people use the spaces," Doud said. "There are other quiet places in the library those students can use." Barry said, "Students heavily and regularly use these group study rooms." "When the library was renovated, we regularly received requests (in our suggestion box) from students asking us to provide group study rooms. We made sure to include that feature in the new construction," Barry said in the email to Doud. Library workers regret losing the space. "There are so many people who use them [group study rooms]. We constantly got asked if students could schedule appointments for the rooms when they were full. It's sad for the students who really spend time in the rooms," said Lupe Coronado, library worker. Doud said the administration is looking into adding more study areas in the library, possibly including couches and coffee tables. Barry's concerns also stem from the fact that the decision to eliminate the group study space was made without her input.

Others are headed to an apartment where roommates come and go at strange hours, and still others are headed to the dorms. "Work" should be done for the day, but is not. A test is scheduled for tomorrow and it's going to be a long night.

offices could be built within the time constraints. Besides, they said, "not many people use those spaces." What a laugh. Library workers and students alike can testify that those study rooms are used and used well. It is outrageous that UCO administrators can't involve students and much less library employees in decisions that involve them so directly. UCO students have had a library to be proud of. Now, at least on the 2nd floor, the hush of constructive learning will be soon by replaced by the drilling sounds of destruction. Thanks, administration. •

ave you ever gone to your car after class to find an amber pile of glass scattered beneath your bumper? You then notice your turn signal lens is shattered and no one left a note informing you of their accidental bumping. In the past year, 10 such reported incidents occurred at UCO. Hit and run accidents cost vehicle owners time and money, even if insured. Deductibles typically are as high as $500 and the inconvenience of not having transportation can mean missed classes and loss of income while the damage is repaired. "Many fender-benders don't look like a lot, but many new cars require a whole new assembly when damaged. That means a simple 'kiss' can cost

hundreds of dollars," said Larry Barrett, former auto body repairman. Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime and can carry hefty penalties. Under Title 47 of Oklahoma State Statutes, violators may be fined up to $500 and spend a year in county jail. They may also be liable for up to three times the repair cost if sued in civil court. A note on the windshield with your name, address and insurance information is the correct procedure when the owner cannot be found. Reported incidents average less than one per month at UCO. Yet, imagine being one of the victims who must pay for tuition and books and unexpected repair costs. If you witness a hit and run, contact the Department of Public Safety at 974-2345. •

Hotline helps troubled students; training scheduled for volunteers BY BETH HULL
Staff Writer
S
uicide, violence and drug abuse continue to be the most common killers of young adults, but with the help of UCO students, a few teens may be able to turn their lives around. Volunteer training is scheduled for Jan. 27 and 28 in Oklahoma City for Teenline, a toll-free hotline for teens and young adults in crisis. "We always need volunteers because people graduate, get married, or just don't have time to do it anymore," said Julie Geddes, Teenline coordinator. Teenline was created in 1985 to help teens and young adults with issues ranging from pregnancy, suicide and drug abuse to disagreements with friends and family. The Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services manages the Oklahoma City-based hotline,
which receives about 12,000 calls per year. All calls remain confidential and volunteers do not reveal their identities to callers. An anonymous UCO student and Teenline volunteer said she feels the experience benefits the volunteers as well as the callers. "It's certainly improved my listening skills, and it was something I felt would be good for me to do," she said. Volunteers talk with callers and discuss their problem, but do not give advice. Volunteers can also refer callers to other agencies for professional help. "This is a warm line where teens are given the tools to put some order back in their lives," said Geddes. "We use active listening skills to listen to them, rephrase what they've told us and help them decide which issues they want to solve. Often the callers can solve the problem themselves after talking
about it out loud," Geddes said. The hotline operates from noon to midnight daily. Volunteers work eight hours a month for at least six months, but other arrangements can be made. "If volunteers need a shorter commitment, that can be worked out as well," said Geddes. Dr. Gerald Chandler, UCO associate professor of professional teacher education and coordinator of the UCO guidance and counseling program, said internship credit is available for working at Teenline. "Teenline is an excellent training program because it helps the counselors to become acquainted with local agencies and it helps them learn to listen to a voice before beginning face-to-face counseling," said Chandler. For more information about Teenline or to volunteer, call Geddes at 522-3835. The hotline numbers are 271-TEEN and (800) 522-TEEN. •

continued from page 1 "As you can imagine, seeing university personnel from various departments in the library with tape measures and floor plans has become a sensitive and, in a way, a symbolic image for the library," Barry said. Barry also revealed two other recent re-allocations of library space that resulted in the loss of an average of two-thirds of students' late-night study areas to make room for art classes. Doud said, "We had a need. The Art Building was not good. We had to finish out those labs. They need a space to learn in. It is a temporary room." Carissa Beck, junior forensic science major, said, "The walls don't look so temporary, unless they're going to knock down the wall. There is no movable partition or anything." Doud said it was not their intention to routinely pillage the library space. There were simply no other immediate or shortterm spaces available on campus. •

get to send students off to see new worlds. All teachers and parents, even pet owners, watch how their little ones gain skills and learn new things, but it is a special privilege and a piece of good luck to see a young person gain the knowledge and the confidence to become independent. Now by independence I don't mean the management of cash flow through a household. There are plenty of Oklahomans who have paychecks, cars, houses and families. But, they never get off the treadmill long enough to take themselves somewhere else, and instead find themselves making another car payment, another health club subscription or signing up for another year of classes on their way to getting — well, they don't know where. In our department, we occasionally send someone off to another country on an adventure. That student doesn't know where she's going, or where he's going to be teaching, or what the rooms will look like, or how the food will taste, but those students leave with
a
a sense of personal direction. One young woman, who had only left Oklahoma for family trips to Ohio, dropped everything and spent a year teaching in Germany. Soon she had colleagues, friends and home there. She came back to Oklahoma, but with a sense of purpose and a compass for her future. Another student took on an overseas assignment for the Peace Corps. He had only an undergraduate degree from UCO, but was teaching business practices at a university in Ukraine. The other American instructor was a Ph.D. candidate from Cornell University. He came back after two years with a very impressive resume and a set of experiences that made his career. Not everybody has to move to another country to get that jolt of knowledge, independence and direction. Mark Twain once said, "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely ... Broad, wholesome, charitable views ... can not be acquired by vegetating in one's little corner of the earth," Innocents Abroad. UCO has undertaken an initiative to give more of our student that opportunity to get out of one's corner — not for a year, but for a few weeks, with faculty guidance and a sensible itinerary. Get up and go with one of our programs. The department may have a name like history, art, modern languages or journalism, but the subject matter will be you, and you'll never learn as much again! •

UCO silences Savages BY RYAN
U

Sports Writer
CO men's basketball achieves their fifth straight win, stomping Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SOSU) 94-83, Jan. 20 at Hamilton , Field House. UCO, 11-4 for the season and 2-0 for the Lone Star Conference North Division, outlasted the 10-5 Savages from the South. The Bronchos are now 8-0 at home. SOSU jumped to an early lead in both the first and second half. The Savages had a 17-10 run in the second to extend their lead to 61-47. UCO answered back with their own run of 14-0 to tie the game at 61-61. The game was a nail biter in the final minutes as the scoring went back and forth. However, the Bronchos walked off the court
victorious, hitting 10-of-10 free throws. Southeastern, on the other hand, missed five of their last six shots from the field. Marlon Dawson scored 31 points. Dawson struggled from the field, shooting just 7-of-20, but dominated the free-throw line hitting 13-of-14. Lennox McCoy scored 26 points with a game-high 10 rebounds, while Dexter Tennell added 13 points to the scoreboard and hit three 3—pointers. The 17-point average of SOSU's Terrell Towns was cut short to just 12. Towns scored only 2 points in the second half against a dominating Broncho defense. The Bronchos will travel to Missouri to battle with Drury on Jan. 23. UCO's next home game at Hamilton Field House will be Jan. 27 at 2p.m. against the Southwestern Oklahoma State Bulldogs. •

Savages edge Bronchos
U
CO's Lone Star North Division in-state rival, Southeastern (SOSU) proved to be a dominant force Saturday, as they edged the Bronchos for a 82-77 victory in Edmond, Jan. 20. Although the Lady Savages prevailed late in the contest, the UCO women gave the visiting team all they wanted. The Broncho team took a 36-33 lead which was later spoiled by a SOSU 16-8 run early in the second half. With 14:55 left in the game, the savages created a 49-44 lead that would not be threatened until the 9:13 mark, when the Bronchos tied the visitors at 59. Ten unanswered points from the Lady Savages pushed the Bronchos to a 69-59 deficit with 6:28 left to
squeaky-tight final on Jan. 20 in the NCWA Division II National Duals in Brookings, S.D., ends in an 18-18 tie, but was actually a loss for the No. 2-ranked Bronchos. The Bison of North Dakota State University (NDSU) claimed the championship on the sixth tiebreaker—the greater number of total near-fall points earned—in a heated dual that featured five onepoint matches. Defending national champion Mark Dodgen was true to form, procuring an early Broncho lead as he pinned NDSU's Matt Strawser at 2:22 in the 125-pound opening match. The Bronchos held the lead throughout until NDSU heavyweight Nick Severson rallied from Jeremy McCoy's early firstperiod take-down with an escape and a fall at 3:26 to deadlock the dual at 18-all. "It's very, very disappointing to lose in the finals like that," UCO Head Coach David James said.

play. UCO women once again clawed back with a Julie Metheny lay-up and a Ken Smith jumper to decrease the lead to 79-77 with 18 seconds left. Brandy Harris was fouled on a lay up and sent to the line. After sealing the win, the Lady Savages improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the LSC North Division. The loss put UCO at 8-8 overall and 0-2 in the LSC North Division. Vanessa Tice scored a game-high 23 points and Brandi Robinson added 21 to advance the SOSU to a victory on the road. Christie Massey led UCO with 15 points while Smith and Ami Guffey had 13 and 12 points. Alyson McDermott added nine points and a team-high eight rebounds for the Bronchos. UCO will have their next LSC contest at Cameron University Jan. 25 at 6 p.m. •
"There were a lot of matches that could have gone either way and we and we didn't get enough of those to go the way we wanted them to." Cole Province, at 133, incorporated four take-downs in his 10-4 win over Lucas Christianson. UCO added close wins from Gable Sullivan at 149 (4-3), Shawn Silvis at 165 (4-2), and T.J. Tallent at 197 (2-1). The Bison had three one-point victories—top-ranked Steve Saxlund's take-down with 14 seconds left edged No. 3 Muhammed Lawal and Thad Pike won 8-7 when UCO's H.M. Chapman suffered a locked hands penalty point with five seconds remaining. No. 2-ranked Todd Fuller nosed Dennis Parker at 174, 8-7. "We didn't finish a couple of matches like we should have and North Dakota State took advantage. We had a good tournament and wrestled hard, but it's a tough loss," James said. The Bronchos next match is on Jan. 26 at Southern IllinoisEdwardsville . •

FOR REALLY BAD AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, ILLEGAL OR JUST PLAIN WRONG ADVICE,
fisit Niue BY DAVE THE GREAT, Stal-f Mys4ite Advice Dude
w
-
ell folks, I have put the Cloudy Crystal Ball back in storage, ending the horribly inaccurate horoscopes (and stemming the flow of lawsuits arising from them) that graced the pages of The Vista for the last couple semesters. So what does an out-of-work writer do when his total lack of wisdom and common sense leads to the cancellation of his column and a horde of lawyers? Exactly: he gives people advice. Never mind that I can't remember to feed my cat every day. Ignore the fact that the fire department is called every time I try to cook. Overlook the fact that most of my ex-girlfriends have murder contracts out on me. My advice is deeply thought out, very accurate and sure to work every time. Just like my horoscopes. Dear Dave, I am addicted to chocolate. It's almost obsessive-compulsive, the way I consume it! My teeth are rotting and I'm rapidly gaining weight. My boyfriend tells me that I'm fat and nasty and that I don't have my priorities straight (he's still ticked about the fact that I was late to his graduation ceremony because I stopped off to buy some chocolate then got pulled over by a cop). Anyway, what should I do?
—Tiffany the Chocoholic Dear T-Choc — until your teeth fall completely out, try flirting with the cops when they pull you over. Dear Dave, I'm a 6'1" fraternity brother [ATO for life!] with beautiful blue eyes and I'm model-material, what can I say. Women flock to me like flies' buzz around a pile of manure. Anyway, my problem is that I kinda caught something from this chick I dated last month. I've since broken up with her (ignoring her works wonders). I've seen a doctor and am getting some treatment, but how long do you think it'll be until my Willie is ready to shoot hoops again? Geoff S.
Dear Scumbag — On behalf of the homely people in the world, I give you the following advice; the only cure for the type of disease you have is to take a potato peeler, grasp it firmly in your left hand, and insert it rapidly into your left eyesocket. You will begin to immediately stop noticing the symptoms of your sick Willie: Dear Dave, There's a guy in my class who's a total hottie. He and I share glances from across the room and we're both aware that we check each other out. The thing is, he never comes up to talk to me after class, which doesn't exactly encourage me to go up to him either. He's a babe, I want to meet him but I don't know how. Help?
J. Davis Dear J. D. —Try coating yourself in Pam' brand cooking spray, rolling in glitter and running through the room yelling "Aliens!" This will ensure that anyone dumb enough to ask a guy like me for dating advice will never taint the gene pool by reproducing. On a serious note, this appears to be the only letter I received this week that may actually not be a prank, so I will give some 'real' advice. Many menmistake friendieness for flirtation, and after saying hello are deluged with tales of your boyfriends, vows of celibacy or desire to date his best friend. Walking across a classroom to potential embarrassment in front of dozens of people is too much for some, especially when they will have to face those people for the rest of the semester. Instead, try a neutral place; the hallways, the University Center, library etc.. Just bump into him and say "hi." Ask him a question about class. Yes, it is a transparent pick—up attempt, but some guys need transparency. And neutral places give you both a graceful way out if things get awkward; you both can just pretend you are late for your next class and beat it. Are you a glutton for punishment? Is there a burning question that haunts your every waking moment? Do you just want to mess with my head? Send your letters, comments, complaints and death threats to DaveGotBored@collegeclub.com or DaveGotBored through AOL/IM
