UCO student district court system created By Penny Hubbard StaffW rite r
resident Webb signed a bill from the UCO Student Association's (UCOSA) House of Representatives Jan. 15, which will allow students to be judged by their peers. The bill that passed will allow the UCOSA to set up separate district courts to oversee traffic
p
appeals and residence hall business. These courts would mainly be presided over by students, said Dale Archer, speaker of the house. "This is going to allow students to be judged by their peers," he said. "Problems students have should be resolved by other students." Three justices will be
appointed to the district court of traffic appeals. Two of the justices will be regularly enrolled students and the third will be a faculty or staff member. The court will handle any ticket or traffic-related appeal for campus. According to the 1996-97 UCO student handbook, before this bill was passed, students with a parking violation had to write to an appeals committee in
order for their appeal to be considered. In the past, residence halls have never before had a separate court to hear resident grievances. The district court of residence halls will consist of three student judges, one from each residence hall. The court will hear cases relating to the Residence Hall

President names two interim VPs By Lisa Tatum StaffW rite r
W
hile the search for vice presidents of academic affairs and student services continues, President Roger Webb has shifted two UCO employees to interim positions filling current vacancies in those offices. Dr. Michael Shirley, former executive assistant to the president, began serving as the acting associate vice president of academic affairs Jan. 19. Shirley said his appointment fills a position vacated last year by Dr. Al Lynd, who resigned and returned to teaching in the music department. "I'm just here to help the office in day-to-day business," said Shirley. When asked if he will apply for the position of vice president of academic affairs, Shirley said he will weigh his options but might consider becoming a candidate. Current Vice President of Academic Affairs Clyde Jacob announced his resignation in November. He will leave the office to serve as dean of the Graduate College effective July 1.

EDITORIAL
THE PROIDENTIAVLEGACY
e mean mean .7' Tuesday, President Bill Clinton was able to put aside all the scandal surrounding him and deliver his State of the Union Address. He could have shortened that speech considerably by lumping several items together and not bothering to mention proposals he will make that will not be accepted. For instance, rather than taking credit for every improvement government has made during the last few years, he could have said, "Because of my inability to stop the agenda of the Republican Congress, the state of our union is strong." For the ideas he wants to push, he could have said, "Although I failed to grow the government with my health care take-over, I will continue to try expanding big government with programs that would be unnecessary had the Democrat-controlled Congress of the last 40 years had some sense of responsibility." The programs Clinton wants to put in place will cost about $125 billion. That is too much. If there will be a surplus of money when the budget is balanced, there should be an immediate tax reduction so that the American people can decide what they should do with their hard-earned money. -41( Pujan Roka IThe Vista

Business student displeased with overflow enrollment procedures
T
he decision was made to lift the enrollment cap on a Business Calculus class offered at night during this current semester. This, in itself, was a step in a very positive direction to meet the needs of students who must take this class to satisfy their MBA requirements. However, when the administrative decision was made to lift this enrollment cap, the administrators should also have decided what to do with the overflow IN ADVANCE OF THE FIRST CLASS MEETING. The first meeting was a complete waste of time as the syllabus was discussed and homework was assigned. When the class returned on Thursday, we were arbitrarily reassigned to another instructor ALPHABETICALLY. Alphabetically? Just where is the logic there?? The big problem with that is that students who took the initiative to enroll in order to have the listed instructor were not given precedence over people who enrolled later after the cap was lifted. I enrolled on the very first enrollment day, just to reserve this instructor. This is an example of poor planning. Ostensibly, someone made a conscious decision to permit the enrollment cap to be lifted. This same individual should have been responsible for ensuring the fair treatment of the students who enrolled in the class. I feel it is inexcusable to treat students so unfairly. Students who did not concur with the
decision were given the opportunity to voice objections in the hallway after they were pulled from the class. This too is unacceptable as the alternate teacher was present in the hallway and could witness protest from potential students. How do the administrators think that would affect this instructor in the event that the protest were denied? Do they really think he could be fair? How could the instructor avoid being influenced by watching such a display? Whoever made the decision to lift the cap should be commended for their decision. It was a move in the right direction. However, the administrative bungling of the student reassignment should certainly bear investigation by the Executive Staff of the University. If it is impossible to spool a list of students by order of enrollment, then someone should strive to "make it possible." Also the practice of making students engage in a discussion of what is essentially a private matter in front of a potential instructor, is just incredibly short-sighted. It is too late to do anything about this situation this semester. What I really want to accomplish by this letter is to ensure future students are not treated as erratically as this class was. The message is really: PLAN AHEAD! !"

from OSU and a juris doctorate from the University of Oklahoma, started teaching in the College of Business Administration in 1981. President George Nigh appointed him executive assistant to the president in 1995. Shirley said he has continued teaching at least one class each semester since that time with the exception of this semester. He said he plans to teach a class this summer. Dr. Kathryn Gage began her appointment as interim vice president of student services this month, replacing Dr. Dudley Ryan who retired Jan. 1 Gage has served as director of UCO's Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS) for the past five
years. Gage holds a doctorate degree in student personnel administration from Oklahoma State University. She said she will continue as director of CD&PS while serving as interim vice president. Gage said her positions overlap to some degree because CD&PS falls under the umbrella of student services. Other services covered by the office include admissions, enrollment, testing and counseling. Gage said she has applied for the permanent position of vice president of student services. A selection committee appointed by President Webb is currently identifying candidates for the job.
Continued from front page Constitution and disputes between residents over noise level or property. In the same bill, a motion was passed that will give UCOSA the power to make rules and regulations concerning all campus-wide elections. "Some problems arose during an election last semester, so we decided to regulate campus-wide elections," said Archer. The rules set forth in that bill will not affect internal elections in student organizations, Archer said. Another part of the bill concerning a district court of academic appeals is pending further review of the student appeals policy. "We are intending to set up an appeals court, but we need to look at other universities," said Archer. "We hope to have something by the end of the semester." Another resolution that was brought before President Webb concerned the modification of Auxiliary Enterprises' policy on allowing outside food and beverage in the University Center. That resolution was vetoed by President Webb, said Archer.

UCO committee pushes for Internet access in dorms By Mark Schneberger StaffWriter
U
CO students who live in the dorms could soon be accessing the Internet from their rooms, if informal plans proposed by the university's Information Technology Committee push forward. The committee, made up of UCO professors Dr. Bart Binning, Dr. James Dechter, William Wallo and librarian Don Gil strap, presented the plans, in the form of a resolution during the UCO Faculty Senate meeting last week. The plan called for linking all dorm rooms to the campus computer network, by use of cables, network hubs, a mail server and equipment for Internet access. Installing equipment for computer access could cost $150-$200 per room. There are 750 dorm rooms on campus, according to the committee.
Dorm residents could be charged unspecified additional fees for access—similar to how telephone charges are added, if the plan were implemented, the committee said. The networking plans were approved unanimously by the Faculty Senate. Wallo said he was pleased at the response. "We felt (the Senate's approval) was an important voice in alerting the administration and everybody of this need," he said. "This is something we would like to see happen on a university level. It would be quite a benefit." Senate approval of the resolution is the first major step UCO has taken toward the goal of becoming a "Laptop University," which is one recommendation defined by the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education's (OSRHE) Technology 2000 Taskforce. The OSRHE recommends "that all (UCO) students be

required to have a laptop computer for learning purposes" by the year 2000, the committee wrote in its proposal. But "this university does not currently have the infrastructure to support the OSRHE recommendation...," the committee continued. "The university has made progress in 'wiring' classroom buildings, but little effort to date has been made in the residence halls." Students should not become overly excited about the Senate's approval of the resolution, Wallo noted. He said the plan has to pass through a series of additional hurdles, including gaining overwhelming student support. "Obviously (the plan) would need to get the blessing of the Student Senate," said Wallo. "(Through the Senate) the students would also communicate the need and show real grassroots support. It makes sense."

First Amendment
Does it protect freedom of the press for student publications?
By Steven E. Wedel Columnist
A
s any political science professor could testify, one of the surest signs of a people's freedom is the ability of the media to speak without government restraint. A sure sign that people are living in a reign of tyranny is governinent control of all forms of media. Indeed, one of the first
*4
signs of a tyrannical leader is the seizure of the media by those in administrative positions of the government. It happened in Germany. It happened in all the Communist nations. And it happened right here in America. Kentucky State University (KSU) administrators withheld the distribution of the school's yearbook in 1995 because they felt its content was not the stuff of a proper yearbook. The students who created the yearbook concentrated a great deal of their efforts on current events rather than university activities. I'm not going to say that's right or wrong—I wouldn't have bought the book, but many KSU students did pay for their yearbook. The matter ended up in court and, to the horror of many free speech advocates, a federal judge ruled in favor of the KSU administration, saying the yearbook was not a "a public forum" protected by free speech. The court cited the Supreme
Court decision of Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlemeir, a 1988 decision which gave high schools the right to censor the content of student newspapers. That court decision specifically stated that it had no affect on institutions of higher education. Judge Joseph M. Hood, who decided the KSU case, cited a part of the Hazelwood decision that says schools can constrain speech that does not meet high standards. There is no mention of who would set those "high standards." This could set an extremely dangerous precedent for colleges and universities all over America. Can students be expected to achieve their full potential in an environment where their work can be censored by school officials? Officials who are often overly concerned with the public perception of their institution, or worse, of their own image. Suppose a school newspaper discovers some wrong-doing of a university administrator and writes a story about their
findings. Should the administrator have the right to read the story before it goes to press, or to possibly alter the content of the story or order it suppressed altogether? The First Amendment says no, but the recent court ruling concerning KSU may open the door to a sinister loophole. Where would we be if the real world operated that way? What if President Nixon had been allowed to read, revise or suppress news stories about Watergate? What if President Clinton had been given free access to recent news stories about his alleged sexual escapades and possible perjury? Some school administrators will undoubtedly argue that a media outlet run by students is more likely to make mistakes than a professional outlet. This may or may not be true, as all institutions run by humans are capable of error. Isn't it better for the student to make a mistake and have to correct his error? Or shquld he learn there will always be a Big
Brother entity looming over his shoulder to stamp out "mistakes" that may only be bad PR for those in power? There • are thousands of students studying to become professionals in the print, broadcasting and film media industry. While it is vital to their education that they learn to get their facts right before presenting them to the public, it is a slap in the face of free speech for these students to have to worry about altering their publication to protect the image or ego of campus administrators. The students who put together the 1995 yearbook for KSU probably would have suffered several complaints from those who bought a copy of the book and were disappointed over the content. They would have learned from that experience and hopefully would have done a better job of assessing their audience in the future. As it is, it seems the lesson learned is that the First Amendment is selective in ,those it protects. 41(

Displaced artists compelled to explore campus By Lisa Tatum StaffWriter
A
rt students may have to draw themselves a map to keep track of their classes this semester. Art classes are scattered across campus in five buildings—a situation that isn't likely to change anytime soon. Dr. Bob Palmer, chair of the art department, said the classes have been shifting locations since last summer when the General Classroom Building was evacuated for demolition. The 49-year-old building, which was located next to the Art Building, housed 11 art classes including printmaking and painting. Six of the classes were relocated last summer to the unfinished lab area in the basement of Howell Hall and five were moved into the already crowded Art Building. The overcrowding prompted complaints from students and
faculty who at one point threatened to organize a protest to call attention to their situation. An August meeting with President Roger Webb resulted in an emergency plan to renovate vacant space in Howell Hall to accommodate classes that Palmer said had come to a "standstill." Special funds were allocated . to install a sink and exhaust fan in the unfinished lab area of Howell Hall for the printmaking class. Portrait painting also moved into unfinished space on the same floor during the fall semester. While the moves alleviated the art department's crisis, they were only temporary. Dr. Terry Harrison, assistant dean of the College of Mathematics and Science, said overcrowded classrooms in Howell Hall were a pressing problem and the lab area that was renovated for printmaking
was needed for classroom space for biology students this spring. Consequently, printmaking was moved for a third time—this time back to the Art Building. Palmer said a weaving class was moved out of the Art Building to make room for printmaking. Regents approved $7,150 to remove the sink and exhaust hood previously installed in Howell Hall and reinstall it in the Art Building. Palmer said the installation was completed only last week. Though printmaking now has twice the space they had when they were in the Art Building last summer, Palmer said the happy ending for that class was expensive and inconvenient. "Thousands of dollars were spent fixing up the spaces," he said. "And it would have been easier to move in the summer when there are no classes. "Overall, we are happy to have them back," he said.
Printmaking however, may be the only art class that makes its way back into the Art Building. Painting classes remain in Howell Hall. According to Harrison, there are no immediate plans to move science classes into that space because it remains unfinished and there are no funds available to complete it. Sculpture classes are located in the renovated pool area of Wantland Hall, while weaving classes have relocated to the basement of the library. Art history classes are currently held in the Education Building. Palmer said having classrooms all across campus has proven to be inconvenient to the teachers as well as the students because their offices are so far from their classrooms. "If a teacher forgets something for class, he can't just run get it," he said, adding that trekking to and from classes in rain and cold is a hardship
teachers aren't looking forward to."We're happy the space problems have all been worked out," said Palmer. "But we miss the closeness and camaraderie we had when we were all together."

day event featuring teams from across the country, representing all three NCAA divisions. Also, Parent said he wants to compete at a high level in the Love Star Conference, a difficult chore since schools like Angelo State and Abilene Christian usually dominate the region. Parent said he believes their dominance directly results from larger scholarship budgets. Regardless of UCO's scholarship budget, Parent is excited about his prospective national qualifiers. He said he thinks sophomore shot-putter John Fitzgerald along with sprinters Josh Hallman and Reggie Dormer have good chances at making the national meet.

Like it or not, pro wrestling is on the rise 4

4 hen a man's heart is full of deceit, it burns up . . .dies . . . and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse. A wrong that most be righted. We look at the skies for a Vindicator. Someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the men that created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes a dark warrior. The purveyor of good, with a voice of silence, and a mission of
justice. This is Sting," said the former WCW heavyweight champion Sting to a crowd of thousands of howling fans. This is one of many story lines that has turned professional wrestling into one of the biggest soap operas that can be found on the television screen. The Turner Broadcasting Networks have given a lot of their prime time to broadcasting this continuing saga of the war between the two factions of the WCW (World Championship Wrestling), and the fans are responding. This has led TNT to increase the time
slot of its Monday Nitro to the full three hours of the traditional prime time. Turner has five shows that devote about ten hours of broadcasting to this great soap. The USA Network and the World Wrestling Federation kicked the big bang off in offering prime time wrestling when they introduced the "Monday WWF Raw" program. "My parents call it fake, and ask me why I watch it," said sophomore Tray Bechtold. "I tell them what they watch on TV is fake too." With the growing fan support that pro
wrestling is getting, it is no surprise that more promotional groups are popping up. These small groups, like Steal City Wrestling, based in Pennsylvania, are starting to cut into the live shows of the two big organizations, forcing them to make the drama more and more dramatic. "Its real, real funny," said sophomore Cindy Jones. "I like the WCW the best." "I don't like it," said journalism major Joel Reagan, "It is not a sport because it is scripted and the winner is already known. It is sport's version of a tabloid." Whether you like it or not, pro wrestling is here to stay. 41(

outlandish selves, at convention. Their show is shameless, one critic roared. It is, because a sterile world lacks seasoning, spice, if you will. As their manager yells at them: "You don't have a life, you have a schedule." The girls reflect and react and rebel to that shameless society. Think about it: Politics these days (movie star president?)—shameless. Media—TV, newspapers, tabloids, magazines, the Internet, radio (OJ, Diana)—shameless; economics (NAFTA, downsizing, etc)–shameless; sports (the Superbowl hype)— shameless; religion (Pat Robertson, et. al.)—shameless; technology (cloning)— shameless; sexuality (Bill Clinton)—shameless; life (abortion)—shameless. What's a girl to do? There's too much concrete and steel and
plastic, high speed computers and rat racing. Don't search for meaning. You can't find it. Either be a Goth and walk around in the costume of the dead, or live and have fun. Value friends and life. Sing and dance. Catch the electric beat of Spice World—They're richer than any critic because their fans have fun with them. How long will they last? The critics and media claim they're a flash in the pan. Spiceless voices missed the age and looks in the eyes of those teeny-boppers, who don't know or care about critics or acting or tonal qualities. What we need in this sorry, shallow shameless life is more spice. Grrrl Power! As my heartthrob Victoria says in the movie: "I'm just too Posh."
Rating: Five spicey stars— out of a possible one. .41(
