Many UCO employees receive pink slips By Mark A. Schneberger Staffilliriter
D
ozens of pink slips were delivered to University Center Bookstore and Food Service department employees Friday, notifying them that their employment with the university would soon be terminated. The termination letters came only days after employees were notified that the university hoped to hire outside companies, such as Barnes and Noble Booksellers, to take over the respective departments. They also came less than a week after Administration Vice President Dr. Cornelius Wooten said he expected most workers to keep- their jobs if outside companies are hired. In the letter, written by UCO Human Resources Director Blanche Washington, employees were told that their last day of employment would come relatively soon. "The employment status of all food service and bookstore employees will be terminated July 31, 1998, unless further notice is given," Washington wrote. "As Human Resources Director, I am sensitive to the fact that this is a very traumatic experience and I encourage you to take advantage of the counseling services provided through our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)," she added in her letter. "The Office of the State Employment Service has been contacted regarding the expected layoff and are available to visit with you at your convenience to assist you in finding other

employment." Bookstore and Food Service employees would not publicly comment about the firings. Individually, though, they said they were shocked to hear the news and worried for their financial futures. They noted, however, that they still had hopes that they could find jobs with whichever company was hired to take over their departments. Bookstore Manager Bob Campbell and Assistant Manager Jesse Nelson said they had not yet received termination notices. Neither would comment about their personal feelings, but both said they expected letters to arrive at their homes soon. "I live pretty far out, so maybe mine hasn't made it to me yet," said Nelson. Washington, in her letter, also noted that she expected outside companies to be hired by Aug. 1. Yet her words regarding the firings may have been somewhat premature, at least according to statements made by Director of Purchasing Ron Mattingly and Wooten. Washington did not return repeated phone calls made by The Vista about the timliness of her letter. Mattingly, last Friday, said the university had not even begun soliciting bids from outside businesses, such as Barnes and Noble, because he had not finished writing the requests. He was uncertain when he would finalize his efforts to contact the outside companies. "I hope to have that done soon. I guess I have to have it Bobby Osmand and one-year-old Devan Dunsmor browse the selection of fiction books in the done soon," Mattingly said. He UCO Bookstore.

exas cattlemen are suing Oprah Winfrey for $10.8 million for merely stating her opinion. On a past show, Winfrey had a guest, who was a former cattle rancher turned vegetarian, talking about the practices of feeding bovine carcasses to other cattle on cattle ranches. This can cause mad cow disease. To that Oprah exclaimed, "That will keep me from eating another burger." These ranchers are now claiming that Winfrey violated the food disparagement laws, and making these "false claims" drove down cattle prices for three weeks, which were already down in the first place. This is a true case of censorship and a violation of the First Amendment provision of free speech. The food disparagement laws say a person is liable is the person knows the information is false. This wasn't the case. Winfrey was stating an informed opinion and the beef producers are trying to blame her for their lagging profits. < Pujan Roka IThe Vista

UCO graduate, retired chaplain questions casino gambling
D
ice have been found in Egypt dating thousands of years before Christ. Gambling, it seems, has been a universal practice. Gambling involves gain to very few and loss to a great many. Winners are made at the, often serious, expense of losers. The Command to love one's neighbor rules out gain at the other's inevitable loss. "Casual" gambling, however, seldom causes serious problems and should not be considered in the same category as serious gambling. One must be very cautious though, all compulsive gambling begin casually! Families often severely suffer at the hands of the addictive gambler. Not every gambler develops a pathological behavior pattern but far too many do. Even gambling proponents acknowledge that perhaps five percent of those introduced to gambling become compulsive gamblers. The actual number is probably much higher. In my years of pastoral counseling on military reservations (where slot machines are plentiful) I have seen, too many times, the social, professional, familial and economic devastation that gambling causes. It ruins lives! Gambling creates no real product. It creates no new wealth. It violates the principle of fair return for labor and investment, and the ethics of stewardship and work. It also inflicts pain disproportionately on the poor. Oklahoma's economy simply can not grow when her citizens lose money gambling. Over the long run, the only entities to increase wealth (and
dramatically so) are the casinos which are usually owned by out of state syndicates. When governments sponsor or sanction gambling (even through the democratic process) they create, on a large scale, the worst type of commercial exploitation. They place their honored State approval on the unpredictable and artificial element of chance. Governments ought not to do this. On the contrary, governments should be in the good business of sponsoring deliberative and productive labor, not enticing her citizens, through inevitable seductive advertising, to crave unearned avarice by the roll of dice or the luck of the pull of the "one armed bandit." Oklahomans should, again, send a resounding message of "no" to level three gambling on February 10, 1 998. Albert Einstein stated, "God Almighty does not throw dice." He meant that the universe is ordered and not left to chance. State legalized gambling, it seems to me, is a denial of faith in God and His ordered universe. Instead of faith, the gambler places his or her bet and devotion in blind chance that is the antitheses of an ordered universe governed by a sovereign God. To compulsively place one's trust in mere chance, for the Judeo-Christian, would be idolatry; for the atheist and others, let's just call it snake eyes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Paul Wesselhoft Chaplain, U.S. Army, (Ret.) 1972 Graduate, UCO

had no comment about the firings. Wooten did address the firings, however. He said no employees were officially fired, no matter what the letters implied. "It was not a termination letter," Wooten said. "It was a notice to alert the employees that this process (of hiring an outside business) will be engaged, and to inform them of
the possible consequences." He said he felt the letter was written as a means to inform all employees about the bidding process, not frighten or worry them. And he noted that employees should feel appreciative. "The spirit of the letter was very good. The director (Washington) did have the interest of the employees at heart," he said. "Most people
would or should appreciate being notified once they get over the initial shock." Informational meetings are scheduled this week for all food service and bookstore employees regarding the letters and potential changes in both departments.

Officials approve funds for repair of Liberal Arts' elevator By Penny Hubbard StaffWrite r

ids will soon be taken for the repair of an elevator in the Liberal Arts Building that has been broken since last semester. The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges approved funds to update and repair the elevator in the amount of $45,000 at their meeting Friday, Jan. 16 at East Central University in Ada. According to state law, there must be a public bid for extensive repairs to be made to a university structure. "There is a series of steps we must follow in the bidding process," said Dr. Cornelius Wooten, vice president of administration. "First we have to advertise, give the contractors a time to respond, evaluate the bids and make a selection."
Administration expects the bids to go out within the next several days and the process usually takes about 30-45 days. The elevators at UCO are inspected on a monthly basis by facilities management and a contractor, Otis elevators, said Wooten. It was during a routine inspection that the Liberal Arts Building was discovered not to be up to inspection codes or following the standards of the American Disabilities Act (ADA), said Farrell Rosson, assistant director of facilities management. "Because of its age and other mechanical problems, it was determined the elevator did not meet today's safety standards, but with the work that will be done, it will be safe," said Rosson. According to the College of Liberal Arts, approximately 19
classes have been moved from upstairs to accommodate students with disabilities. "It has caused problems, but we are committed to serving the students, particularly those under the ADA, so we are doing the best we can to move classes," said Dr. Christopher Markwood, assistant dean'of Liberal Arts. The physical plant has provided a temporary lift and people to help get students up and down the stairs, said Dr. Markwood. During their monthly inspections it was also discovered that there are minor repairs that need to be made to the Communications Building elevator. These repairs will be made at the same time as the Liberal Arts building. "The Communications Building is not in the same state of disrepair as the Liberal Arts building elevator, but repairs

Two UCO professors publish books By Bill Whisman StaffiNriter
CO professors Dr. Christopher Markwood and Dr. Charles Simmons have recently had books published. Markwood, assistant to the dean of Liberal Arts and professor of political science, recently had a textbook published entitled Oklahoma Government and Politics, an Introduction. The forward of the book is written by Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, and its cover was designed by UCO graphic arts student Jon Toney. "I originally intended the text be used for my classes, but OSU (Oklahoma State University) at OKC (Oklahoma City) has also incorporated the new text," said Markwood.

Dr. Charles Simmons discusses his book. (Staff photo by Bryan Terry) All royalties from the book will go toward a UCO political science scholarship fund. "I come from a university that prohibited faculty from taking royalties from books they wrote which are required for their class. I adhere to that philosophy," said Markwood.
"The text is interesting because it explores Oklahoma's unique approach to government and politics. WE. like the public to make decisions. We vote on everything," said Markwood. Markwood was born in Texas and grew up in Iowa. He received his B.A. in political science and history from Southwest Baptist University in 1987. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in political science at the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1988 and 1993, respectively. Simmons, assistant professor in the Journalism Department, also had a book published entitled The African American Press. The book examines four African American newspapers and describes how they each covered national events. They
include: The Chicago Defender, the Pittsburg Courier, the Black Dispatch, and the Jackson Advocate. The book began as a dissertation for his doctoral work, Simmons said. "I chose this subject because I wanted to do something no one else had done." Due to tedious research, the book took nearly 10 years to complete. "It is difficult to research black history. You really have to search. It doesn't consume entire books like white history does. You have to look through many books and find small sections that discuss black history," said Simmons. "The book has great historical value, it helps people understand why the Civil Rights Movement occured."
Dr. Simmons received his bachelor's and master's degrees at UCO and has a doctorate in curriculum and instruction with an emphasis on non-print journalism from OSU.

"We have received several registration forms and they are still coming in steadily," said Carla Supon of student services. "We usually have between 25 and 30 organizations who set up booths at the fair," Supon said. "The goal of the Information Fair is to help the students have a better understanding of what offices and organizations are available to them," Supon said. "We hope to have a good turnout this semester to help inform the students of what organizations are out there for them. We have several organizations coming from off campus to set up information booths this time," she said. One of the factors that played a roll in the success of the fall fair was the location. The fall Information Fair was held outside so people passed the booths on their way to class, which made them more likely to stop for information, she said. When the fair is held inside the turnout is usually lower, Supon said. For more information call Student Services at 341-2980 ext. 2363. <

Race panel debates how blacks fare in the workplace By Kathy Lewis Knight-Ridder Newspape:s
PHOENIX Addressing issues of discrimination in the workplace, experts meeting with President Clinton's advisory board on race Wednesday debated how blacks fared in comparison with other minorities. As has often been the case since Clinton began the national discussion on race, affirmative action was a central issue. And while some at the discussion emphasized the problems with relations between blacks and whites, others said the det to shouldn't ignore other racial groups. Sparking a spirited discussion, James Smith, senior economist at the Rand Corporation, said: "Wage discrimination on the basis of race, and I mean black-white, is a much more important phenomenon than wage discrimination in the aggregate with these other groups." Smith, however, said other discrimination problems should not be dismissed. He also linked Latino problems to immigration issues, which he said are different from racial issues. Jose Roberto Juarez, Jr., associate dean of academic and student affairs at St. Mary's University School of Law in San Antonio, said African-Americans' unique history should not be minimized. But he rejected any suggestion that the real problem Hispanics have is tied to immigration. "In Texas, the best way to get the highestpaying job is to be born white," he said. "It doesn't matter how well you did in law school ... Those are realities we face."
He said he is not an immigrant, nor were ethnic group in the United States, especially black men, especially young black men," he his ancestors. "It has nothing to do with immigration. said.

Central Oklahoma women's soccer team to hold open tryouts By Darrell J. Weidner Sports Writer

"We invite walk-ons, and we are looking at the soccer club," said Cook. We will be offering the full amount of scholarships according to NCAA rules, but I won't be giving all of them in the first season," said Cook.

They don't evoke interesting mental images. They're just there. With rock music this sparse, it should be left up to the vocals to provide the mental fireworks that keep you listening. With the exception of "Sex and Candy,” the lyrics on this CD fizzle out long before they explode When I listen to "coffeeshop" rock, I prefer a "robust" blend of musical interplay and provocative lyrics.

Herpes may show up long after infection, say researchers
D
on't automatically blame your current sex partner if you develop signs of genital herpes. The virus may have been passed from a partner from years ago, even if you've never had symptoms before, says an infectious disease expert at Stanford University Medical Center."Understanding the biology of the herpres simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2 ) can help reduce mistaken accusations of infidelity in a relationship," says Dr. Ann Arvin, a professor of pediatrics who is research the herpes infection."HSV-2 symptoms can appear at any time, even decades after infection. Until recently, we didn't know that most people become infected without . having symptoms at the time." HSV-2 is almost always spread by gential contact and
now infect about 20 percent of the U.S. population, Arvin says. The symptoms include intermittent ulcers or sores in the genital areas. However, the vast majority of infected people do not know they have HSV-2 infection because they never develop recognizable symptoms, she says. A definitive test for the infection is not available, unless a person has active genital ulcers. "I wish we had a definitive way to prevent spreading HSV2, but for now, safe-sex practices are the only option," she says.Condoms, she adds, offer protection because herpes is spread by contact with skin and mucous membranes of the gential area, but they may not work if the infection is in areas not covered by condoms. < —College Press Service
University administrator sues paper after being called Suttlicker By Christine Tatum College Press •
E
ditors at Virginia Tech's student newspaper claimed it was a terrible mistake when a Virginia Tech administrator was referred to as the "director of butt-licking" in an edition of the Collegiate Times. The student journalists say the dummy type accidently made it into print. But the administrator, Sharon Yeagle, isn't buying that explanation. Yeagle, the assistant to the university's vice president, believes she was the target of a cruel joke and has filed suit against

the newspaper for printing the 1996 article. She wants at least $850,000 to make up for the damage she claims was done to her professional and personal reputation. Student editors sent a letter of apology to Yeagle the day after the article ran, explaining the mistake was made from a combination of a computer glitch and poor proofreading. To create the newspaper page, they had used a template containing titles so absurd no one could forget to change them — or so they thought. But the damage already was done, said Yeagle's attorney, Leisa Ciaffone. "Even if there was an accident, the
laws of this state prevent people from negligence," said Ciaffone. Yeagle has asked the Virginia Supreme Court to review the case and to decide whether she is entitled to a jury trial. A lower court dismissed the case last year. Circuit Judge Ray W. Grubbs said no reasonable person could have read the article — which correctly identified Yeagle by name and position — and then believed the bold quotes attached contained Yeagle's real title. "This is an unfortunate incident that she has to move on from and become a little more thick-skinned about," said James R. Creekmore, the student newspaper's attorney. "I don't think a
