East Hall heating regulatory problems are due to an outdated heating system, according to a source who spoke under the condition that The Vista would not print his name. An East Hall employee said, UCO maintenance workers make frequent visits to the residence halls on account of heating problems. Duncan said the dorm rooms were built in 1962 and were expanded in 1965. "When the outside heat fluctuates to an extreme it takes the system a considerable amount of time to adjust to the temperature. One unit heats an entire hallway," Duncan said. A system that covers many different dorm. rooms is going to impact the comfort level in the rooms."

three-day cold spell ensued on the 2nd floor of East Hall while an old heating unit was being replaced, according to an East Hall desk clerk Josh Deblase. Morgen Buckner, an East Hall resident, complained that his room on the 2nd floor was without heat for over a week. Todd Duncan, director of residence life said, "We did have a unit down over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, and the university requested the unit be shipped overnight, but the vendor failed to do so." Duncan regrets the outage lasted so long, but said the university took immediate action to replace the heater once it arrived. Resident Andy Brown said, "My dorm room is like 105 degrees." Dustin Miller, also an East Hall resident, said he was without heat for four or five days, but now complains that his

e've done the impossible. The money that could never be raised to save a life that might not been saved has come through, and all thanks to the generosity of UCO students and local businesses. On Dec. 19, senior business major Dana Scribner had surgery to reverse an illness that has plagued her for most of her life. Scribner's illness, pectus excavatum, had been causing her chest to slowly collapse on her spine, crushing her internal organs. Without this experimental surgery,
Scribner, who has been involved in Greek life as well as several other student organizations would have seen her quality of life deteriorate at a steady pace and eventually cost her her life. But that was not to be. After an article in the Nov. 21 issue of The Vista, members of the UCO community began pulling together in a remarkable way to save this extraordinary person. Scribner's sorority, Alpha Xi Delta, raised nearly $6,000 in a silent auction to benefit their ailing sister.
The Sigma Nu fraternity organized a flag football tournament in Scribner's honor, and they raised $600 to help her cause. Local Sonic Drive-Ins, news channels and countless other businesses and student organizations came together to raise the $10,000 necessary for Scribner to undergo this important but expensive procedure. With a successful surgery behind her, Scribner is now living with a better quality of life. Not only can she breathe easier, but she has also experienced the power of true friendship and the generosity of strangers. •

Staff Writer Tans for the new $10 million Wellness Center are nearing completion, with construction slated to begin June 18, north of the Commons. The new building will stand where Printing Services and Industrial Safety are located. The 61,000 square-foot facility will house the Student Health Center, which includes a fitness assessment lab. Complete physical work-ups, excluding blood-work, will be possible using treadmills, EKG testing and a hydrostatic weighing tank. Some office and classroom space will be available, as well as a twocourt, multi-purpose gym and 7,000 square-feet of weights and aerobics equipment with 95 pieces of equipment. Building costs are set, but furnishing and finish-out costs are still to be determined. "Actual construction cost is $7.79 million. The additional cost, which includes fixtures, equipment, moving cost and soil testing," said Keith Weber, research assistant to the president.

"We have been collecting student fees longer than originally planned, meaning we have more available funds," Weber said.

E organizations at UCO, including Delta Nu Delta, Phi Beta Lambda, Gamma Beta Phi, and University Center Activities Board and she was also a candidate for Homecoming queen in 2000. She is currently serving as the president for Alpha Xi Delta. Because surgery for this disease is rarely performed on adults, the hospital had to approve Scribner for the operation. That decision came in September of 2000. Several different procedures exist to reverse pectus excavatum, including the Ravitch, Nuss and Leonard surgical procedures. A non-
surgical method, Dr. Haje's treatment, is also used. Scribner researched the various methods, and ultimately chose the "minimally-invasive corrective option" developed by Dr. Nuss, a South African surgeon who now practices in Norfolk. The Ravitch procedure is most commonly used, but many complications are associated with it. In this method, every rib has to be broken and then put back into place with wire. "I knew there had to be a different way," said Scribner. Although the Nuss procedure is
relatively new, it is highly successful. No fatalities have resulted from the surgery, and few, if any, short-term side-effects are associated with this method. During her surgery, doctors realigned Scribner's rib cage and pressed it outward. Four metal bars were positioned to hold her ribs in place. Muscles were then cut and rearranged to support the bars. "Luckily, things went great," said Scribner. "No bones broke." Pectus excavatum can lead heart displacement, secondary lung compression, and scoliosis in the spine. It can cause its victims to have
only one-third of the normal lung capacity. Attempting to return to class last week, Scribner caught pneumonia, but expects to be better and at school soon. As far as her surgical recovery goes, she continues to be optimistic. "My heart has to take-on new shapes and hopefully be OK within six weeks," she said. Her lungs are expected to be revived in Six months to one year. "I hurt tremendously, but that's to be expected ... when my whole torso has changed," Scribner said. "I can tell that I will be better when I get past the pain." •

Student officers scour parking lots for violators BY ANN DEE MCCLANE Staff Writer
I
n the early morning cold, several students gather on the 3rd floor of the University Center to pick up their handheld ticket devices and trudge out the door to try to make the most of UCO's parking resources. "Typically, a student officer begins the day by picking up a hand-held ticket machine and a radio. And they'll be assigned a particular area of campus to work," said Leon Fourcade, manager of parking services. "Their job is to check every vehicle and every lot." The main reason tickets are handed out is due to permit violations — when someone does not have a permit or is parked in an undesignated spot. Other reasons for citations include illegal parking and expired meter parking. Citations can be written from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays, vehicles may be ticketed from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. Prices for parking tickets range from $5 to $50. The $5 citation is for expired meter
violations, and the $50 charge is for using a permit that has been reported as being either lost or stolen. Parking in a fire lane or in a handicapped lane will result in a citation for $25. These fees help to pay for existing parking lots and for the future construction of lots. If the fees are not paid, Parking Services will impound the vehicle. Vehicle towing is something that this organization does not take lightly. After five unpaid parking tickets, two written notices are left on a vehicle about it being impounded unless the tickets are paid. If no response is heard after the second notice, the vehicle is towed. "[If it is an] unidentified vehicle, chances of it being impounded are greater," said Fourcade. A vehicle that is identifiable includes one that a university official recognizes as belonging to a student or a faculty or staff member. "[Towing causes] headaches for the owner of the vehicle and for us too," said Fourcade. Currently, UCO has 12 student parking officers. "Generally, the officers work unsupervised. Sometimes they'll work in pairs for security reasons," said Fourcade.
Parking in an undesignated spot on campus can result in a ticket. To avoid this, students are encouraged to get a parking permit and park in the designated spots.

For parking officers, merely issuing tickets is not the only aspect of their job. They must be resourceful for the many questions people may have. They do have a goal in mind, too, when it comes to the citations — to get everyone to buy a permit and park in the correct designated areas. They also must be able to deal in a professional manner with people who are angry. Parking officers are a means of helpful information for students, faculty, staff and

visitors. The most frequently asked questions involve regulations of parking, locations of buildings, and events on campus. "We try to have a good knowledge of events on campus," said Fourcade. Police officers and parking officials are generally the first people contacted when a question needs an answer. Most questions occur at the beginning of each semester, when people are not quite familiar with the campus. "It's a matter of equality," said Fourcade. •

David James will serve as one of four honorary coaches at the 34th Annual National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-Star Classic on Monday, Jan. 29th. "It's a great honor to be selected and one I'm certainly proud of," James said. "In an all-star match like this there's not a lot of actual coaching involved, but it's a privilege to be involved." James will join Lehigh's Greg Strobel, Pennsylvania's Roger Renia and Montclair State's Steve Strellner as honorary coaches for
the 12-match dual that will be highlighted by five showdowns between the No. 1 and 2 ranked Division I wrestlers. In a span of 19 years, UCO wrestling, with James at the helm, has won nine national championships, five in the NAIA and four as current members of NCAA Division II. In addition to his team accomplishments he has coached 33 individual national champions and 112 All-Americans. James has a career dual record of 199-78-5 and will go for his 200th win Friday, Jan. 26.

"It was important for us to keep things as normal as we could while we were there." Another "normal" thing they would tap to one another was "God Bless America." "It was very important for us to remember why we were there. We were defending the best, and we had to remember that." Faced with so much free time, Hubbard and the other men decided each man would teach the other men at least one thing every day. Using the tap code on the walls, the men taught each other poetry, stories and life lessons they thought were important. All in all, Hubbard said this has ended his interpretations of "bad days." "I can honestly say in the 34 years since this incident I have not had a bad day," said Hubbard. "I might have `not so good days', but nothing even close to a bad day." •

CO students tired of wasting time channel surfing now have an option to the mainstream movie grind with the Oklahoma City Art Museum's (OCAM) Art House Video Series every Sunday at the Oklahoma Fairgrounds. The series program, which changes monthly, presents contemporary independent and international films along with a short documentary about artists or art history. "Film as an art medium is a major 20th century innovation," said Brian Hearn, film curator at OCAM. "We feel that the educational and artistic value of film is as important as any other medium of art-such as painting, print or sculpture
arts." OCAM will sponsor a family film, Carnival of Animals, that allows viewers to explore the world of animals through film, from 1 to 3 p.m. on Feb. 3rd . In April, OCAM will feature the seminar entitled "Filmaking in Oklahoma" geared towards students who want to network with local filmakers in a panel discussion group. "Film is a very pervasive medium. Film is being produced all over the world and most of that does not get shown in the Hollywood dominated cinema. There's a lot of great stuff out there and we want to bring that to Oklahoma," said Hearn. Admission to the museum is $3.50, $2.50 for students and free to OCAM members. For more information, call 974-4477.

East, West Hall Councils bring UCO residents together BY SARAH ROBERSON
Staff Writer
S
pring 2001 has brought about many planned activities for residents of UCO, designed to enhance college life and interaction for those choosing to live on campus. Any resident living in the various on-campus living quarters, East and West Hall, Murdaugh Hall and the Commons, can attend the scheduled events. "We create activities to bring together on-campus residents for social interaction," said Ashley
Baxter, president of West Hall Council. Among the various activities planned for this semester are Spring Fling and Coffee House. The events are being funded by residents of East and West Hall who pay a fee directly through housing for activities. These funds' are then given to East and West Hall Councils to spend accordingly. "The events are open to any oncampus resident and are free for those who attend," Baxter said. Spring Fling is an annual event held by both East and West Hall
Councils. The event features an Easter egg hunt during the daytime with a casual dance at night. The date and location of the event is tentative, partially due to the weather. "We are hoping to have 100 to 150 people at each event," Baxter said. The Commons will be hosting a Valentine's Day Dinner on Feb. 12. The event was planned to provide a festive activity for all who attend. East Hall is planning to have Coffee House at 8 p.m. Feb. 20. All students attending UCO are
invited to attend. "Coffee House gives residents a chance to read poetry or sing on an open mic," said East Hall Senior Resident Assistant Geoff Brewster. "There is also free coffee for those who attend," he said. Beach Blow-Out, organized through East Hall, is to be held April 17 by the basketball court, south of West Hall. A St. Patrick's Day social is currently being planned by the West Hall Council, but the date and time are not yet known. Both events are open to all UCO
students. "Beach Blow-Out is going to be a beach party with hot dogs, games, live music and a DJ," said Brewster. The East and West Hall Councils are in charge of organizing events to be held for residents who live on-campus, in particular, those living in both halls. The West Hall Council meets every other Tuesday in the West Hall lobby. Anyone who lives in West Hall can attend. For more information on events, contact Baxter at 974-4166, Brewster at 974-4377. •

BIRTHDAY - ANNIVERSARY - NEW BABY - GET WELL - SPECIAL OCCASION
ast year, my roommate, Gabe, asked to hear my copy of Paul Simon's Graceland album. Without thinking, I popped in the disc and promptly went back to work on whatever else was distracting me at the time (probably SimCity2000). As I played my game and Gabe continued with whatever he was working on, Simon's music filled our 3rd floor dorm
11.
MOM.
I'd forgotten how much this music had meant to me. By the time we got midway through the album, I was no longer in my dorm room. The power of Simon's songs had managed to conjure up every great moment I had linked to them. I remembered hearing the singles on the radio, riding in my parents' big, brown van when I was in kindergarten. I could see myself on stage with the vocal group I played guitar for in high school, grooving our way through an arrangement of "You Can Call Me Al." As we approached the album's end, Gabe and I both were bobbing our heads, smiling, and thoroughly enjoying ourselves. Maybe I'd just absentmindedly filed this album under the same heading as other records I liked at the time (Huey Lewis and the News, anyone?), but this time the right connections were made in my brain. I gleefully threw myself on the hook. Soon, I was devouring every Simon song or album I could find. I was fascinated by the multimedia stuff included on the Graceland disc: (handwritten lyrics! Videos of the recording process!), and had only begun to digest the rest of the man's catalog. As I listened to the albums Simon generated in the midseventies (There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All
These Years), I was amazed by the lyrical depth and musical sophistication of the songs. I could remember hearing and enjoying "Kodachrome" and "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," but I guess they register differently when you hear them on your own (as opposed to when the radio sees fit to introduce them). Something clicks when you discover these things for yourself. Something clicked with me. The greatest benefit that has come of this particular stage I've found myself in has been the musical styles I've discovered through Simon that I never would have otherwise. I recently purchased an album by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, a South African vocal group who performed on Graceland, and thoroughly enjoy it (I am currently looking for any "township jive" recordings as well, thanks to that album). Simon's Brazillian experiments (most notably "So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright" on the Bridge Over Troubled Water album and the music on The Rhythm of the Saints) has led me to Antonio Carlos Jobim. Before, I might not have been so quick to give "world music" a try; now, I can't wait to explore other musical styles. It's a truly great thing. Thank you, Paul Simon. I heard recently that Simon's Grammy-nominated album You're the One hasn't sold very well since its release last fall. Rolling Stone printed a quote in this week's issue about how radio programmers don't know what format to put it in, so they're just not playing it. It's really a shame to think that the radio is so crammed full of divas, homogenous teen-pop, and insubstantial hip-hop acts (OutKast and Snoop Dogg not withstanding) that there's just no room for the work of a twotime Rock Hall of Famer's latest work. Yes, this has been straightup raving, and no, I'm not ashamed. If you've got a problem, write I KNOW WHAT I KNOW, c/o The Vista, 100 N.
