Death penalty necessary to enforce justice "I'm for it"

"I think that it should be outlawed."

—DR. TOM ISBILL Director of Photography Lab

—BOBBI MANOS freshman, broadcast journalism major

"Eye for an eye. If they do a crime worthy to be in court, then I'm for it."

"I think it should be left in the hands of God and not people."

ix years and 27 days is a long time to wait for justice. On May 19, Timothy McVeigh will be executed following his participation in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. On his execution day, McVeigh will be stripped of his last and most precious right — the right to live. And it's his own fault.

Those who make the decision to take other peoples' lives into their own hands make the decision to give up their own rights. Some say this isn't fair and that everyone has the right to live. But it's no

S

secret that Oklahoma has a death penalty law, and anyone who is willing to commit a crime severe enough to warrant this punishment is accountable for weighing the consequences of his/her actions. And no one loses the right to a fair trial.

It's time for this much-too-tolerant nation to buck-up and accept punishment that fits the crime. Life is sacred, and in order for its sanctity to truly be recognized, criminals who don't regard life should lose theirs in the name of justice.

Oklahoma has executed 32 people in the

past 10 years. In the next month, five more people will face capital punishment in this state. Executing criminals who have murdered others not only carries out justice, but is also an immeasurable deterrent to crime. It saves taxpayers money. It makes citizens feel safer. It gives victims and families closure.

Those who are so concerned with rights should see that the death penalty is precisely the right thing to do. • Note: Editorials represent the views of at least one member of the editorial board. Editorial cartoons do not necessarily represent the views of the artist.

Truth behind dreams explored

BY LORALEA KNOX

Staff Writer

H

ave you ever woke from a dream and thought to yourself, "Wow, I wonder what that meant?"

Well wait no more. The time has come for you to understand the universal language of dreams through the School of Metaphysics.

"Metaphysics is the science of going beyond the physical," said Laurie Biswell, a teacher at the School of Metaphysics "You actually learn how to think and use things such as dreams, healing and the universal language of the mind."

The School of Metaphysics

is offering a four-week dream course on Wednesdays starting Jan. 17. The classes will be from 6:30-8:00 p.m., and will be held at 4417 N. Western. The course requires a $60 donation which will help benefit the school. This fee also includes the book, Understanding Your Dreams, by Dr. Daniel Condron, which will be used in the course.

The study of metaphysics can consist of many different levels, but the classes offered will concentrate mainly on the dream portion.

"The main objective of these classes is to fully understand what you dream, why you dream it, and actually use the information from the

dream and apply it to your daily life experiences," said Damian Nordman, director of the School of Metaphysics.

"Everyone dreams in the same language," Nordman said. "Once you learn to understand your own dreams and what they mean, you can go on to help other people interpret their dreams."

Nordman explained that when you see an automobile in your dreams it represents your own physical body.

Animals represent a habit or a compulsive way of thinking, food represents knowledge and water represents your daily life experiences.

The class will also explain a little as to why we forget our

dreams so easily after we wake up.

"A dream is like an echo," Nordman said, "the longer you wait to write it down, the fainter it gets in your mind.

You have to write it down before [the dream] fades away completely."

Another fact about dreams is that what we dream at night is a direct reflection of the day we've just completed.

"Your dreams will always be a reflection on the day PHOTO BY MOLLY MATHIS you've just had," Nordman said.

Unaccredited schools issue phony degrees by Internet

BY SARAH DAVIS

Staff Writer

W

ith the click of a mouse and a few thousand dollars, anyone who can operate a computer can get a college degree without ever attending a class.

In many cases, the student does not have to study, take tests or write "If somebody papers.

The phony documents holds up a 7produced by Internetbased diploma mills have Eleven for 50 been used by people in bucks, they're various professions to secure jobs. going to be in Advertisements for diploma mills may pop jail before their up in e-mails and boast of slurpee melts, accredited programs that offer flexibility for but these guys working adults.

"It's worse than it's are stealing ever been, and it's millions every growing exponentially," said author John Bear, month." founder of www.degree.net.

Watchdogs like Bear —John Bear and his website keep an founder of eye on fraudulent www.degree.net companies, and government agencies do what they can.

The latest edition of "Bears' Guide to Earning Degrees Nontraditionally," which is scheduled for release in January, will include 481 phony schools. That is

an increase from 320 listed in the 1998 edition.

The Internet makes it easy for these companies to spread the word about their services. At least one diploma mill sends up to a million email messages a week advertising its business, said Bear.

The e-mail often falls in the hands of desperate people who know that degree holders have a greater chance of succeeding in the job market, Bear said.

Allen Ezell, a retired special agent who oversaw the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) DipScam task force to investigate phony universities in the 1980s and 1990s, said there are some telltale signs that a university is bogus.

"When a school sells you a degree and a transcript with no work at all, and you have courses on your transcript that you don't know anything about, and you're able to negotiate your GPA, and they're willing to backdate your diploma, something's wrong," said Ezell.

According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, from 1983 to 1986, the FBI shut down 39 socalled colleges that made false claims about degrees and offered them for high sums. The crackdown slowed down the appearance of new institutions for a few years.

The FBI DipScam project started in 1979 and ended in 1992 when Ezell retired.

"Even though the DipScam project is no longer active, the FBI,

postal inspectors and some crusading state agencies are still actively working to keep fake schools from operating and phony degrees from being sold," said Bear.

People are honest victims of diploma mills as they look for ways to benefit from the expanding distance-learning network that was established by traditional, legitimate universities, experts said. There are several legitimate nontraditional universities that are trying to establish themselves on the Internet.

Many diploma mills boast accreditation from agencies that are invented, making it crucial for students to research the company before they sign up for services.

"Not only do they cheapen the value of degrees and trick unwitting employers into hiring people who may not have the skills they profess to have, but they also can taint all distance-education programs as something to avoid," said Lisa Guernsey of the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Many believe the university ".edu" website addresses show the college is accredited. However, there are no prerequisites to register for ".edu" addresses.

Bear estimates that the revenue of the diploma mill industry exceeds $200 million a year.

"If somebody holds up a 7-Eleven for 50 bucks, they're going to be in jail before their slurpee melts, but these guys are stealing millions every month," he said. •

Students' rights upheld in First Amendment case

BY BETH HULL

Staff Writer

K

entucky State University (KSU) violated students' First Amendment rights when they confiscated copies of the yearbook six years ago, according to a Jan. 5 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.

Dr. Mark Hanebutt, UCO assistant professor of journalism and attorney at law, said he agrees with the court's ruling.

"I think it is something that never should have made it to the courts," said Hanebutt.

"I think it's a clear violation by the university of the students' First Amendment rights."

Betty Gibson, the KSU vice president for Student Affairs, objected to the yearbook's color, theme and inclusion of worldwide current events, saying it was "inappropriate" and unrelated to KSU. In November 1994, KSU administrators seized around 2,000 copies of the student

yearbook, The Thorobred, prior to distribution.

Charles Kincaid and Capri Coffer, both students of KSU in 1994, sued the university.

Originally a three-judge panel for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the university's confiscation of the yearbooks, citing Hazelwood School District vs. Kuhlmeier, a 1988 U.S. Supreme Court case that empowered high schools to censor student publications.

The Jan. 5 decision overturned the previous ruling.

R. Guy Cole, Jr., 6th Circuit Judge wrote, "Upon en banc review [where entire court membership makes the decision], we determine that the KSU officials violated the First Amendment rights of Kincaid and Coffer."

Hanebutt said the Hazelwood precedent was improperly applied in this case since the students were adults, not high school students.

Dr. Keith Eakins, UCO assistant

professor of political science, was also pleased with the outcome of the case.

"It's a pretty neat decision considering it did uphold the students' First Amendment rights," Eakins said.

"College is definitely a place where you have to have a marketplace of ideas, so it's important that students have free speech."

Hanebutt said that the principal concept of a university is freedom of thought and expression.

"If you have a policy in that kind of environment that curtails that freedom of expression, it undermines everything a university stands for," Hanebutt said.

The case provoked college press supporters, such as the Student Press Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky to file court briefs endorsing the students' rights.

The No. 2-ranked Bronchos stumbled at first but stood tall in the end, winning seven of the last eight bouts.

CSC captured last-second wins in the first two weights taking a 6-0 lead out of the gate. Chadron's Josh Schommer edged H.M. Chapman 8-6 at 157 pounds. Joe Callahan followed, downing UCO's Shawn Silvis 8-6 at 165 pounds.

"I was a little concerned after we lost the first two matches, but our guys responded and we pretty much dominated things the rest of the way," UCO coach David James said.

Dennis Parker ended Chadron State's two-match winning streak with a first-period fall. Parker used a five-point early against Chadron's Corey Kinnan, then scored a fall in just 1:56 bringing UCO even at 6–all.

The Bronchos commenced their reign of terror as Muhammed Lawal piled up 10 takedowns in a 22-9 major decision to make it 10-6 UCO. T.J. Tallent followed with a tough 2-0 win at 197.

CSC's only break came at the heavyweight level. CSC's Cody Beguin downed Jeremy McCoy 3-1, cutting UCO's lead to 13-9.

Staff Writer

he Police Corps is offering scholarships to students who have an interest in police work.

Thanks to the Clinton Crime Bill, the Department of Public Safety is offering $30,000 in federally funded scholarship monies to accepted students.

Oklahoma police forces in conjunction with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol are looking for undergraduate students with 40 or more hours interested in police work as a career.

"We are changing the way the police force is trained," Oklahoma Police Corps' Mandee Barbee said. "Training is more intense, and will address ethics and fitness maintenance."

Police forces are looking for a diversified staff with a community service background

and majors are accepted from any university in the country.

Tuition, room and board and personal expenses, up to $1,000 a year, are paid through the scholarship.

Upon graduation, students will train for police duty in Ada, Okla. Trainees will gain Council for Law Enforcement Education and Training certification.

Training will involve ethical behaviors and community based relations. Strong emphasis is applied to physical conditioning to better the life of the officers now and in the future.

Once police corps training is completed, officers are required to spend four years on patrol with one of 14 participating Oklahoma forces.

Interested students may call the Oklahoma Police Corps for more information at 1-877-8982212 or log-on to www. okpolicecorps@dps.state.ok. •

Students interested in doing police work will now have additional scholarship opportunities with a new federal scholarship program.

areer Services is offering students an opportunity to meet with future employers and have their resumes viewed by companies around the country.

"We actually bring employers from all over the United States," said Gina Eastman, director of Career Services.

Software called Career Connections enables UCO's career services department to help students upload their resume on a database that companies share access to.

"Employers call us daily asking for anyone at our university with certain job skills. We go to our computer database and connect that person with the company, or we fax and e-mail that person's resume to them," said Eastman.

Students can purchase this service for a year for a $20 fee.

UCO offers a lower rate to students who job hunt with Career Connections. Other universities using the same software charge a higher rate, and only offer service from January 2001 to August 2001.

"OU -and OSU charge $50 and don't allow students access for a full year," Eastman said.

Art collection finds home at UCO Central Museum BY

JAYNA NOLEY

Staff Writer

ome people spend their entire lives searching for something to feel passionate about. For some, their niche is found in music. Some develop a love for theater.

Oklahomans Howard and Merle Melton discovered a passion for art resulting in the 700 piece "Melton Collection of European and American Art." The Central Museum of Art and Design has curated the 100work "Collecting the Pieces" exhibit containing works by artists such as George Grosz and Frank Duvenik. The exhibit is being organized with the Melton Park Gallery as a national traveling exhibit.

The Central Museum's selection of drawings and paintings represent 200 years of Western art

history. Examples include realism, impressionism, symbolism, expressionism and romanticism.

"The exhibit provides an outstanding study collection from which the lineage of stylistic invention can be compared from one artistic movement to the next, while those contrasting approaches take place in familiar subject matter, over the 200-year period of time," said Dr. William Wallo, UCO Central Museum of Art and Design director.

Two different genres are displayed — both the landscape and the portrait with scenes divided between America and Europe.

Wallo said the wide variety of artwork displayed results in "a large group of works that interconnect many styles and the artists that created them."

"The museum is also in the process of broadening support for permanent collection facilities expansion," said Wallo.

The event permanently placed the inductees into the Hall of Fame exhibit in the Air and Space Museum.

The Clarence E. Page Memorial Trophy was presented to Don Finch, who was chosen for his efforts to promote aviation in Oklahoma along with his previous position as director of the Oklahoma Air and Space Museum and later vice president of museums.

Each year the trophy is presented to an individual who exhibits both dedication to promote and contributes to the progress of the aerospace industry in Oklahoma.

"This was our 21st annual event," said Howard.

"Approximately 150 individuals have been inducted since 1979."

Haise began his military career in October 1952 as a naval aviation cadet at the Naval Air

Fred Haise Station in Penascola, Florida. In 1959, he graduated in aeronautical engineering from the University of Oklahoma (OU). He then served in the Oklahoma Air National Guard. In addition, he was one of 19 astronauts selected by NASA in 1966 to serve as backup crew for the Apollo 8, 11 and 16 missions. He was an astronaut in Apollo 13, which was later dramatized.

"We learned a lot having an astronaut who has experienced such an ordeal through Apollo 13 speak," said Kim Holding, public relations assistant at the Omniplex. "It was great to have him speak and an honor to have such a prestigious person to learn about."

Wing at Tinker Air Force Base.

The late William John Freye (1904-1959) was recognized because of his high altitude research and involvement with the development of a series of advanced transport aircraft. He was also responsible for forming the Frye Corporation to develop a tri-motored airplane for use in underdeveloped countries.

"The event was open to the public," Howard said. "The cost to attend was $60 for members and $75 for non-members."

Endangered eagles to give show

BY ANN DEE MCCLANE

,Staff Writer

A

day to view American bald eagles in their natural habitat has been scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 20, at the Oklahoma Municipal Authority (OMPA) Kaw Hydroelectric Plant just east of Ponca City and at the Kaw City Community Center.

Various activities are planned for the entire family.

"It is a spectacular sight when you see one or more [eagles] together in a tree," said Dr. David Elmendorf, UCO associate professor of biology.

This is a perfect opportunity for viewers to see the American bald eagle in its "very beautiful habitat," said Drake Rice of the OMPA. The G.M. Sutton Avian Research Center in Bartlesville has reintroduced this bird to Oklahoma and other southeastern states.

The event begins at 7:30 a.m. with free refreshments at the Kaw City Community Center. The day continues with buses departing from the Kaw City Community Center and the Kaw Hydroelectric

Plant to take passengers to view the eagles on Kaw Lake.

An American bald eagle natural history program will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Kaw City Community Center, which will be presented by Alan Jenkins, assistant director of the G.M. Sutton Avian Research Center. A live eagle will be present at this event.

From 10:30 to 11 a.m., Mark Howery, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation Biologist, will give a slide presentation on the history and the habitat of the eagle. This will also take place in the Kaw City Community Center.

Oklahoma's Endangered and Threatened Species will sponsor a slide presentation later that day at the Kaw Hydroelectric Plant.

Eric Langer, public outreach coordinator of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, will host this event.

Gordon L. Yellowman, Sr., a member of the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, National Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, Native American Indian Task Force in Washington, D.C. and a Cheyenne Chief of Southern Cheyenne Tribe, will

give a Native American perspective on the American bald eagle. This will occur at the Kaw Hydroelectric Plant from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.

Besides the scheduled eagleviewing activities of the day, the Kaw Hydroelectric Plant will be undergoing its annual inspection.

The public will be able to see the inside workings of the plant and how it operates.

"I think it's great [that the endangered species] are recovering from such small numbers," said Elmendorf.

Sponsors for this event include the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (Wildlife Diversity Program), Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority, Kaw Lake Association, City of Ponca City, City of Kaw City, Kaw City Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Payne County Audubon Society and G.M. Sutton Avian Research Center.

BY MI Farewell, My Little Viking...

I

've tried not to use my position as a columnist to trot out political views of any sort thus far — I try to write about stuff that everyone can agree on for the most part, and I think I've done a pretty good job.

However, I think I'm going to have to bend this policy for this week.

This marks the last column to run during the Clinton administration, and I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't going to miss the big guy.

When I was in 6th grade I became more aware of the presidential race than I had for the one prior (after all, there's only so much politics you can care about at age 8). Maybe it was the publicity of the threeway race or maybe it was my increased viewing of Saturday Night Live; regardless, I actually paid attention. Amid the circus sideshows that have followed, I don't think I've stopped yet.

At least, I haven't stopped laughing at the spectacle of it all.

Maybe the appeal our outgoing Commander In Chief has isn't so much the good he's done for the country and the world so much as it is the entertainment value of the man.

This was the president who played sax on the Arsenio Hall Show, after all.

Forget that. This was the president who almost singlehandedly reunited the Rumoursera Fleetwood Mac. Peace in Northern Ireland and a working peace in the Middle East must seem like a cakewalk compared to getting Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks on stage together.

When the "Last Days" film clip started airing a few months back, I found it to be a pretty knowing summary of these past eight years. For those who haven't seen this film, it depicts Clinton as a bored lame duck, roaming the halls of the White

House, playing Battleship with one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and hanging out with Michael Marrona. The Leader of the free world on camera with Big Pete Wrigley, for crying out loud!

I think the surreal existance depicted in The Adventures of Pete and Pete may just be the most viable way to look back on the last eight years.

In fact, a later episode of Pete and Pete perfectly depicted the kind of farewell most fitting for controversial figures.

In the show, Little Pete (Danny Tamberelli)'s personal superhero, Artie The Strongest Man in the World (Toby Huss), decides that it is time to move on.

Artie had come under fire with the adults of the community claiming that he corrupted their chidren and threatened their way of life, and figured that it was time to call it a day in the town of Wellsville.

In a way, Bill Clinton is kind of like Artie. Artie left Pete with a greater sense of selfworth and a sense of wonder; Clinton leaves us with a stronger economy and a sense of wonder.

I'm not saying by any means that the president is a saint; he's far from it. However, I doubt that the incoming president is going to provide us with as much to laugh at while laughing with us.

That's what Will Ferrell's for.
