New law puts out smokers, or at least 25 feet away by Jim Epperson III Senior Writer
Photo by Tina Fowble
Ashley Taylor, marketing senior, and Jason Carroll, general education senior, smoke their cigarettes July 14 outside the Art Building.
Smoking in front of entrances and exits to campus buildings will be prohibited beginning Sept 1. A joint resolution, passed by the Oklahoma House of Representatives and State Senate, banned smoking in and in front of public buildings and in public cars. State property is almost essentially a tobacco-free area, said Don Powers, director of Quality Assurance and Safety Management. "Smoking can occur only in designated areas, and the designated areas are outside the building, 25 feet away from the entries and exits," Powers said Powers said decals will be placed on the major entrances
and exits on UCO buildings before the fall semester begins. "If we have a problem, we will call on our uniformed officers to take care of it, because it is state law and a misdemeanor to violate it," Powers said. If convicted of the misdemeanor, smokers could face a fine between $10 and $100, Powers said. , Powers said the law was passed because non-smokers complained about "running through the smoke gauntlet." Smoker Jason Carroll, a general education major, said he agrees with the law but thinks UCO should designate smoking areas. "I think having a designated smoking area would be better than an ambiguous 25-foot smoking rule," he said.
Mud overwhelms Broncho One by Jim Epperson III Senior Writer Residents at Broncho Apartments are complaining about mud in their apartments. Resident Josh Harjo, a business sophomore, said about a month ago, construction on the apartments' backed up sewer system began. He said after the company completed the work on the sewer system, they left piles of dirt lining the apartments' sidewalk. "As soon as the work was done, it started raining and mud got everywhere," Harjo said. The rain caused the twofoot piles of dirt to turn into mud that then slid onto the sidewalk in front of the doors of the apartments, he said. "They just left it like that," Harjo said. David Holmes, director of Housing, said the dirt must settle before it can be compressed.
"They usually leave it for a little while," Holmes said. He said cleaning will begin this week. Resident Jennifer Collins, a political science sophomore, said she is tired of all the mud on her six-year-old daughter's shoes. Looking at a pile of huge concrete slabs of what was once the sidewalk, Collins said, "I feel like I'm living in the projects, and my daughter gets the privilege of playing on broken sidewalk." Another problem at the apartment complex is from water dripping out of the window air conditioning units that hang over the sidewalk. Resident Christina Perrine, an interior design sophomore, said she put a mat under the air unit because it caused a large mud pool. "There are mud tracks all through my apartment," Perrine said.

A plumbing problem has plagued the residents of Broncho Apartment's with mud.
UCO is searching for funding to finish renovations to the 110year-old Old North Tower, said Charlie Johnson, UCO News Bureau director. "They're constantly looking for private sources," Johnson said. The previous renovations, which included a new roof and exterior reconditioning, were paid for through a state bond. UCO might have to wait for another state bond to finish the building, Johnson said, but it is going to be a while.

Demolition derby coming Sublett & Associates of Moore, Okla., is currently removing asbestos from the partially demolished East Hall, said Charlie Johnson, UCO News Bureau director. The anticipated completion date of the removal is July 25. Midwest Wrecking Co. will then come in to level the building, Johnson said. "The destruction will take place over a two-week period," he said. "But it should be done by midAugust." East Hall was partially destroyed in preparation of a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) training exercise in April.
Utilities near fall deadline The majority of major campus improvements through the performance contract with Johnson Controls will be completed in September, said Don Powers, director of Quality Assurance and Safety Management.
The contract is part of a 20-year, $8.9 million deal, which will update the electrical, plumbing and ventilation systems on campus. Johnson Controls will be paid with the money the university saves on utilities over the 20-year period. What still remains of the contract will be completed this year, said Powers. "Cleanup should be finished by December," he said.
Lake project almost done The first of a two-part renovation to Broncho Lake is close to completion, said Charlie Johnson, UCO News Bureau director. A canopy over the western seating area, seating on the east side, a new deck and a waterfall were improvements made over the last couple of months, he said. The waterfall, which was estimated to take 45 days to finish, is still on schedule, Johnson said. The second phase includes another deck, covered seating, landscaping, lighting and possibly a gazebo, he said. UCO is seeking private sources to fund the second phase.

Letter to the editor Mark Twain said, "No man's life, liberty and property is safe while the legislature is in session." With the advent of HB 1748, we can now add that we aren't safe after the legislature adjourns, either. If you had drawn up a plan to de-fund public colleges in Oklahoma, and destroy public support for the system, you could not have picked a better vehicle than HB 1748. Legislators now know that if they do not step up to the plate and adequately fund public colleges and universities, that the college presidents will raise tuition and fees 40+%, and take it out of our students' hides. House Bill 1748, which removed the tuition caps of 7% for in-state students and 9% for out-of-state college students in Oklahoma, should be repealed by the state legislature in 2004. By raising tuition and fees by as much as 41%, the college presidents have shown that they are not able to show sufficient restraint, when no legislation is pending, and there are no effective checks and bal-
ances on their power. • The college presidents are already promising that tuition will not be raised in the double digits next year. Why should we believe them, after they told us that tuition would be raised 14-15% at the two comprehensive universities this year, and the actual figure was 39%! At the regional institutions we were repeatedly assured that the tuition wouldn't be raised more than 7-9%. Tuition and fees at the University of Central Oklahoma will actually go up 19% this year. As we predicted, the promises made in the spring that tuition would go up no more than the previous 7% and 9% ceilings allowed at the regional colleges, were not kept in the summer. Promises made that tuition would not go up more than 15% at the state's two comprehensives, melted like ice in the summer heat. Without discussion or debate, and without allowing citizens opposed to the increases to speak at an open meeting, the state regents approved increase of 41% in tuition and fees. The regents, although well meaning, served as
a rubber stamp for the wishes of the college presidents. Although keeping quality faculty in the state was one of the arguments made to induce the legislature to pass HB 1748, in reality this argument is a nonstarter. The fact that this year, the faculty at the University of Central Oklahoma will go a third consecutive year without salary increases shows the priority that the system puts on retaining good professors. While the faculty has received an average increase at UCO in the past 7 years of 1.2% per year, many new administrative positions have been created, and existing administrators have seen their salaries increase up to 60% in the past six years. Similar situations exist at many of our sister institutions in the state. Tenured college faculty members in Oklahoma currently make less than 79% of the national average. The percentage gets less with each passing year. What a commitment to retaining our most talented and hard working professors! Using the Big 12 "peer averages" to set tuition rates in Oklahoma is laughable. The
average salaries in the Big 12 states were from 12 to 25% higher than the salaries in Oklahoma in 2001. Maybe we need a bill in the legislature to raise housing prices, or the cost-of-living in Oklahoma, to the Big 12 averages. How absurd! Our poor students, who have been mislead are the big losers in this tragedy. How are we going to raise the percentage of Oklahomans with a college degree to 25% by pricing them out of the market? The answer given that they can go deeper into debt by borrowing more money to finance their education is cruel and calloused. Supporters of HB 1748 point to proportional increases in financial aid as an offset to tuition hikes, but this is simply playing a shell game. The bottom line remains the same: someone has to pay, and HB 1748 is sticking our most important and vulnerable constituency with the bill. Dr. Thomas E. Guild, Chair Higher Education Association for Reform

Flutist performs and lectures on jazz by Rod Jones
Staff Writer Jazz flutist Galen AbdurRazzaq performed July 10 at Pegasus Theater as part of the UCO Summer Concert Series. The New Jerseyite has performed internationally for more than 30 years and has played with such legends as Sun Ra, Billy Taylor and Sonny Phillips. Razzaq gave lectures between the songs he and his band played. The lectures dealt with historical jazz figures and the elements making up the music. He shared anecdotes of jazz performers from the past,

Whether four-string or five-, historic or contemporary, these duelling museums have it all for the banjo lover.
by Rod Jones Staff Writer
,
Know the differences between fourstring and five-string banjos? There are more differences than just the number of strings. The friendly folks at the National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame Museum in Guthrie will be happy to point them out to you. There is a silent rivalry between fourstring lovers and five-string lovers. The Bluegrass museum, an obvious proponent of the five-string, is located just across the street from the four-string museum. They have coexisted peacefully with no major territorial disputes. So far, no violence has erupted between the two factions. Dan Fitzgerald, a museum board member, is a rarity in that he plays both kinds. He would not say which one he prefers. "I have two children, a boy and a girl," he said. "You might as well ask which one of them I like better." The differences are mostly related to musical types. The five-string is used in country & western and bluegrass, while the four-string is more for ragtime, vaudeville and big band. Another difference is the height, the five-string being taller. The four-string museum opened in 1998 thanks to the banjo donations of Jack Canine and the annual Jazz Banjo Festival organized by Brady Hunt. The museum has rare banjos of many different designs and eras. A gourd banjo, one of the earliest known designs, is in fact carved from a gourd. It is displayed in the historical section. The banjo was first brought to America by slaves from west Africa. Thomas
Jefferson describes it in a letter written in 1788, a copy of which is on display. Fitzgerald said the Industrial Revolution improved on the instrument's manufacture and added more metal. Shiny, mint condition banjos are displayed in glass boxes throughout the museurn. The museum staff says most of them are too precious to ever be played again. Fitzgerald said the value of each instrument can be anywhere between $5,000 and $20,000. The museum kindly asks that you do not "rock-out" with one of these instruments. Only two triangular-shaped banjos from Washburn Shrine are known to exist. The museum has both of them. Caroline Hogan, museum administrator, said the design is modeled after the Russian balalaika. It did not catch on because it was too hard to keep tuned. Another rare display is a Ray Shidler one-of-a-kind tenor banjo. A side room has banjo-related toys and figures, with more than 20 banjo record albums adorning the wall. Tourists are encouraged to take a seat and listen to copies of the albums through the museum-supplied headphones. The back room is a shrine to Shakey's Pizza Parlor chain. Margie Boatright, assistant museum administrator, said the franchise was instrumental in keeping banjo music alive. "Each franchise had to have a banjo player, piano and sing-along," she said. A group called the "Shakey's Fraternity" made live recordings of these parlor performances. The room has original menus, signs, advertisements and a player piano that the museum staff hopes to have working in the near future. The only thing missing is
Don't Sweat the HOT Temps!
the pizza. The walls in the rest of the museum contain pictures, quotes, newspaper clippings and anything else banjo-related that can hang on a wall. A quote from Buddy Wachter says, "When you're younger, you have the flame. As you mature, you become the embers." Near the ceiling are promotional posters for the "Jubilee Banjo Band" of Galveston, Texas. "Jubilee" has played at the annual Jazz Banjo Festival held in Guthrie on Memorial Day weekend. The festival features a parade, church service, Hall of Fame induction, and individual and group performances. Fitzgerald said the Hall of Fame could induct as many as 15 members a year and can include manufactures, players or teachers. Of course, only four-string types are invited. The Bluegrass Festival is scheduled for early October to avoid any four-string versus five-string unpleasantries. All fourstring fanatics have ample time to leave the city before the bluegrassers arrive. Hogan said the museum is working with the exhibit designing company Barking Dogs to set up a three-dimensional, interactive display to get younger people interested. For now, the museum has rooms full of exhibits and a staff full of answers. But those with questions about Grandpa Jones from "Hee-Haw" are referred to the museum across the street. Don't believe everything you hear from a banjo player, though. As the founder of Shakey's, Sherwood "Shakey" Johnson said, "If you don't know the words, fake it like the banjo player."

Interview with Volleyball Coach Jeff Boyland:
Boyland favors an aggressive approach by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor Volleyball Head Coach Jeff Boyland replaced long-time coach Mark Herrin on December 3. Boyland takes over a team that won the LSC North with a 30-7 record last season. He talks about maintaining the success of the program. Vista: What is your biggest obstacle as you replace Coach Herrin? Boyland: To be able to continue what Mark has built in the last 13 years. He built the program into a highly ranked national contender. With his vision that he had, he really built things up and got volleyball here running at a high level. Continuing that and continuing our high graduation rate. He graduated everybody in 13 years. We want to make sure we continue to recruit solid student athletes, who are students first. That's my goal — to continue to get to the next level, continue to recruit better, etc. The Lone Star Conference and the Southwest region are very difficult [to compete in]. In our region we probably have five of the top 10 teams in the nation. We were just picked to win the LSC North, which brings added pressure. We have 14 eligible players and they are all going to be in a dogfight for a spot, which is good. Because I think you build a strong team and a strong program with not only the six people on the court, but you make sure that you have a solid team. To practice against them, to push them because we all get cornplacent if we know our job is not on the line, then we aren't going to push ourselves. I think we have a solid, core group here. Vista: How do you plan to build on last season? Boyland: First, by recruiting, then focusing on defense and being able to control the ball. Offensively, we are going to try to be a little bit faster, we are going to try to speed things up. If we can run teams laterally around the net, make them chase us then with our ball control, we will be able to set the tone. Barring any injuries, I think we are pretty strong and pretty deep. My goal is to have a tight group; we are going to be like a family. I have a great captain who I believe is going to be a superior leader. The Xs and Os of the game aren't that difficult, but I think the comraderie and dealing with all the ups and downs these players face [is difficult]. Vista: Does the consistent success of the program add pressure to being a first year coach? Boyland: I've had success in other coaching arenas. I coached at Mid-America Christian University, which is a small Christian school on the southside and we won a national championship there my last year, which is the only volley-
ball national championship any school in Oklahoma has won. I've coached Junior Olympic club volleyball and won state championships. So I have had some success, thanks to some great athletes, that allowed me to do that. I think stepping in here; yes, there is going to be pressure, but I like that. Mark did a wonderful job when he was
"I'm not looking to do a complete overhaul, I just want to kind of tweak things and try to get better instead of being complacent." -Coach Boyland here and he still helps out if I have questions. Last year we went on a 22 game winning streak, so as a new guy coming in, that's pretty tough to top. But we have some goals. First is to win the North Division. We also want to win the Lone Star conference. I'd like to be ranked in the cop 25 in the nation. The Volleyball Coaches Association ranks the top 25 in the nation so if we can establish that, it would be a great recruiting tool. Vista: Is there anything you plan to change? Boyland: My philosophy is if it's not broken, don't fix it. I've done some tweaking. We've changed our offense; I run a little different style -
offense. I have a little bit more control over what offenses are run on the court. I'll have a quarterbackcoach relationship with our setter. I'll use some different signals to help them out in certain situations. We are going to continue to focus on our defense, continue to focus on our blocking, if we can stop the ball from coming over the net, it is going to help us out immensely. I am going to try to recruit Oklahoma as well as a little further out nationally. We have a lot of talent in the state, and our goal is to try to get them to come to the University of Central Oklahoma. I'm not looking to do a complete overhaul, I just want to kind of tweak things and try to get better instead of being complacent. Vista: What aspect of the game do you think is most important? Boyland: I would say ball control. If you can control the ball, control the game, control what the other team is doing and keep pressure on them, you are going to succeed. Just because you have some big hitters doesn't mean you are going to win, because if you can't get the ball to them, it doesn't matter. If you can control the ball you can dictate what goes on, on the other side of the net. I want to be in an offensive aggressive mode the whole time. I have always told my teams, our goal is to put pressure on the other team. If you aren't being aggressive, you are playing defensively. I think ball control is the number one aspect. Vista: What worries you most heading into the season? Boyland: Expectations. We were picked by our peers to do well in our conference. We don't want to slide down. I'm confident in our players. I'm confident in their academic abilities, so I'm not worried about that. I'm confident in our administration and athletic department. But I am worried about the unknown:, Haw are we going to do? I'm just ready to go, this sitting around stuff is getting old.

Vista: What would you say your coaching philosophy is? Boyland: One would be don't win at all costs. We will do things ethically and morally. A continuation of my philosophy is we win as a team, we lose as a team. I am the coach because that is the name given to that position, but I am as much a part of the team as our assistant coach and our athletic trainer. The ethical side of it, the team side of it and graduating players. The third tier would be helping them to be successful in life. If they see we do things the proper way and work hard, then they will appreciate that when they look back at their time at UCO, they will know that we did things the right way.

against electrical contractor Ralph W. Pitts, doing business as Your Electric Service. Edmondson filed a motion asking Peterson to halt proceedings in the Tulsa lawsuit until the Oklahoma Supreme Court decides in separate right-towork litigation. A hearing in the Tulsa lawsuit is scheduled July 22. Oklahoma voters added right-to-work to the state Constitution in September 2001. The amendment outlaws clauses in union contracts that require workers to pay union dues. The trades council's lawsuit claims right-to-work violates its due process rights by requiring it to represent workers that don't pay dues. The union also argues that the law unjustly sin-
gles out only labor unions and that the question put to voters dealt with too many issues. The Springfield, Va.-based national group claims the lawsuit was rigged by right-to-work opponents to void the law without opposition from true supporters. The defense foundation had criticized Edmondson for not intervening to defend the state's law. U.S. District Judge Frank Seay, ruling in the earlier lawsuit, found that parts of the right-to-work amendment violated federal law. He declined to declare the state law unconstitutional, however. That finding was appealed to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has asked the state Supreme Court to give its opinion on the matter.
Man to be charged in shooting of players NORMAN, Okla. (AP) _ Felony charges will be filed against a man accused of shooting two University of Oklahoma football players at a party, a prosecutor said Tuesday. Neither player was seriously injured. Two counts of shooting with intent to kill were being filed Tuesday against Napoleon Lewis III, 23, of Davis, and he was to be arraigned later in the day, said Cleveland County District Attorney Tim Kuykendall. Ataleo Ford, a wide receiver, and Wayne Chambers, a linebacker, were shot during a party at a Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post in Pauls Valley, said Garvin County sheriff's Lt. Rodney Wright. Each was shot in the leg. Neither is a starting player. Lewis is not affiliated with the university. Several witnesses to the shooting were on the OU football roster. The incident, which occurred about 12:30 a.m. Sunday inside the post, was apparently gang-related, sheriff's deputies said. About 300 people were at the event. Garvin County Undersheriff Steve Brooks said a man inside the hall opened fire with a hand-
Dump truck, anyone?
gun and fired two or three rounds before he ran outside and drove off. Lewis is believed to have set his house on fire while trying to destroy evidence, Kuykendall said. Kuykendall said Garvin County sheriff's deputies went to the man's house and found it on fire. "Witnesses said they believe he was trying to destroy evidence, specifically articles of clothing that had blood on them. In the process, he caught his house on fire," Kuykendall said.

Man wearing no Fatal price clothes stabs two of Yankee cap MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) _ A brother and sister were stabbed at their Marietta home Sunday by a man who was apparently wearing no clothes. Ronald Gresham, 47, and his sister, Donita, 49, were in critical condition Sunday night after being stabbed just before 3 p.m. Marietta police Officer Brian Marshall said witnesses reported the stabber wasn't
wearing clothes. The suspect left the scene in a white Ford panel truck with the word 'JIMCO' on the side and a Florida tag: T65NCZ, Marshall said. Police told The Atlanta JournalConstitution they were looking for Rodgerick Dean Swanson, 40, described as a 6-foot-1inch black man, weighing between 160 to 165 pounds with short hair.
NEW YORK (AP) _ A Brooklyn man was killed and his brother was arrested in an apparent fight over a Yankee baseball cap, police said Friday. Frank Ross, 49, was stabbed once in the torso Thursday night during the dispute outside his home in the Crown Heights section. He was pronounced dead an hour later at Kings County Hospital. The victim's
brother was in police custody. Charges were pending. Police said they believe stabbing stemmed from a fight between the brothers over the baseball cap, but had no further details.
