No Vacancies is UCO's new policy

BY STEPHANIE NEASE

Staff Writer

UCO has adopted a policy to turn away no student who wants to live on campus this fall, Thomas Hulm, UCO's residence life director said.

By the end of the first week of school, the university normally sees a 5 percent vacancy rate because of no-shows or withdrawals, he said.

In a move to guarantee 100 percent occupancy for on-campus housing, the university will contract with local hotels to house overflow students, and move them to campus facilities as rooms open up, Hulm said.

Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president for student services, said although the added revenue would help the university, that is not the primary reason for the policy.

"I'm a big believer in the residence experience," Gage said.

UCO student's I'm not interested charges dropped

BY MICHAEL LARSON

Prosecution dropped charges June 7 against one of two UCO football players accused of photographing and distributing "sexually-explicit" pictures of a student last October.

Darvin Vincent Hall, 20, will return to UCO to play football after the 6-month pending case against him was dropped, said Hall's lawyer Josh Welch.

Shannon Henson, assistant district attorney for Oklahoma County, dismissed Hall's charges before Judge Virgil Black.

The second defendant, Jason Eugene Phenix, plead no contest to misdemeanor charges and received a deferred sentence.

Phenix's lawyer, Scott Adams, said pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges is not

considered a conviction in Oklahoma.

Adams said, "If we would have taken it to court, we would have surely won. Phenix took a deferred sentence so he could get on with his life."

Both defendants were charged with photographing a female student and distributing "sexually explicit" pictures of her along with her private information on the Internet and on campus.

They were charged with violating the Computer Crimes Act and a misdemeanor charge of stalking.

Welch said, "Hall had always maintained he was innocent and eventually the district attorney's office agreed."

An anti-telemarketing bill will create a no-call list for Oklahomans this July as part of a mounting effort to ward off unwanted telemarketing calls.

people should be able to call a toll free number or register online to have their names put on the list shortly after the bill takes effect July 1.

The actual list and its enforcement should be implemented January 2003, Wheeler said.

Attorney General Drew Edmondson said in a press release, "Oklahoma consumers deserve a strong no-call law that will protect their individual privacy and this bill is a step in the right direction."

Edmondson said his office will notify Oklahomans about how to register for the list before the bill's effective date.

Keith Leftwich, Oklahoma state senator for south Oklahoma City, created Senate Bill 950.

UCO has decided upon a new policy of not turning away any students applying to live on campus.

Word is that some students might end up living in hotels until spaces open up in the residence halls or the commons.

The idea certainly has its merits, but so many issues need to be addressed before UCO should adopt the policy.

How would students living in hotel rooms be able to truly experience residence life?

Even if most students are moved to oncampus residential facilities when spaces open up, what happens if some students have to live in a hotel the entire

What happens if more students decide that they would love to stay in hotels and apply for campus housing with that reason in mind?

And putting a third bed in some rooms will not fly well with most students who are already living in cramped spaces since there won't be any guarantee that other spaces will open up in certain time frames.

Besides, putting too many students in the dorms would probably also violate some codes.

Who is going to supervise the students living in the hotel?

Would the hotel be responsible for the students' safety or would UCO be responsible for them?

Students living in hotels will most likely have a private bath in each room, and how would the students living in Murdaugh Hall or West Hall who have to share bathrooms with 30 other people react to that?

UCO Residence Life Director Thomas Hulm said that he's not aware of any immediate plans to build more residential spaces on campus.

Radke new Associate VP of Academic Affairs

BY MICHAEL ROBERTSON

Staff Writer Dr. William J. Radke has been named as the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs, effective July 1.

He will replace Dr. Karen J. Dowd, who occupied the position until she retired this summer.

Radke, who has been a member

of the faculty at UCO since 1975, came to UCO directly after receiving his Ph.D., and worked as a professor of biology for 25 years.

He served as Assistant Dean of the Joe C. Jackson College of Graduate Studies and Research since January 2000.

Radke said that the change will take him from handling graduate and research issues to being

Gage also said that extra beds adopted a 5-year program, may be placed in some rooms on enrollment at UCO increased.

He said that as of June 7, fall campus, and then removed as overflow students receive their enrollment was up about 4 percent.

The Daily Oklahoman reported permanent room assignments.

Stacy McNeiland, director of that OU was limiting freshman prospective student services, said enrollment to 3000, but Jeff she estimates a 3 percent to 5 Hickman, press secretary for OU percent increase in first-time President David Boren, said that freshman enrollment for the fall, was incorrect.

Charles Ford, Oklahoma senator for the south Tulsa district, voted in opposition to the bill. "[The bill] was more fluff than it was substance. It sounds good to people who don't know the law, but it certainly didn't accomplish anything," Ford said He said telemarketing couldn't be stopped by state legislation because a majority of telemarketing comes from out of state, leaving it

up to the federal government for regulation.

Leftwich said, "Time will tell, but I think the attorney general will be able to enforce these laws in other states. He's had success in the past prosecuting people across state lines."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has conflicted interests in the telemarketing industry. An article about telemarketing fraud from the FBI's official website said the industry employs 3.4 million people and spurs consumers to spend $500 billion per year.

The article also said incidence of telemarketing fraud is increasing and costs victims $40 billion annually.

Harve Allen, spokesman for Oklahoma's Board of Regents for Higher Education, said regents were expecting a 7 percent increase in enrollment across the state.

Bob Huss, director of residential life at OSU, said he has adopted a policy similar to UCO's in order to house students.

OSU is renovating a 700-bed building, and constructing a new 300-bed facility, totaling 1000 additional beds for fiscal year 2004, so he doubts the policy will continue beyond this year, Huss said.

Hulm said he expects housing to be filled to capacity this fall. He also said he was not aware of any plans to build more residential space at UCO in the next year.

Leftwich said in other states with established no-call lists, only 5 percent to 10 percent of people put themselves on the list.

Ford said, "I think it's wrong when a local merchant can't talk to you about his or her products without the threat of a lawsuit. All they've done is set up a way to sue local businesses."

Wheeler said the state plans to use money collected from violators of previous telemarketing regulations to establish the list, distribute it to companies, and prosecute violators.

UCO's StrawHat Theatre presents Swinging on a Star

BY JOANNA WEISER

Staff Writer UCO's StrawHat Music Theatre began its third season June 6 with the Michael Leeds's musical Swinging on a Star.

"Swinging on a Star celebrates the music of composer Johnny Burke, who wrote over 550 songs, Susan Reger, information specialist/writer for the UCO president's office, said.

Reger said that she hopes students take advantage of the reasonable admission fees and come out to a show.

"This is a good chance for students to see the talent we've got here in the music theater department. These are really top notch talent," Reger said.

Getzoff said the show was a lot of fun to do, partly because of how quick-paced it was.

"There's enough variety in it `cause each scene is individual to itself," he said.

"Each scene has a little tiny plot or a little story and a couple of characters and all around music from a certain decade or a certain era that Johnny Burke wrote."

The pace of the show also made for some fast transitions, Getzoff said.

"The best transition in the whole show is where you go from outside of an old dilapidated row home in New York City, and literally in front of the audience the set goes

away," Getzoff said.

"All of a sudden you're on the set of a radio show."

A cast of seven leads and four understudies play a total number of 41 roles in the play.

"There are 169 costume pieces because everybody is understudied and all the understudies will get a performance," wardrobe mistress

Dayna Liddell said.

"There are 26 wigs and they all go on every night, it's a lot of work, but it's worth it."

Cast member Jonathan McElroy said he enjoyed getting to play many roles in one show.

"Its how I started in theater, it's my favorite thing to do," McElroy said.

Maurice Murunga Political Science

It is difficult not to remember those first days of my arrival in the U.S. of A.; it is even harder to forget the first day. My plane touched down minutes after 7 p.m. on Halloween 2001.

The first person I made a beeline to for assistance saw me coming and before I could say Edmond, he said "wassup?" Now that did quite throw me off.

The International Office remits out some publications to international students before they come to Edmond to prepare them for a stress-free encounter with the United States. But as is often the case, those "how to" books can never really capture some essentials of what they instruct.

Who would imagine that a book sent out to an international student would omit the mention of "wassup?" or "what is goin' on?" If

you are wondering, I am from the East African Co-operation region that once was a British protectorate.

It is interesting that the "how to" publication from UCO delineated British English, or at least that is what my reading of it intimated upon my encounter with this land.

The book displayed the people of this land as overtly formal in address.

"How are you?" is what I was going to hear more often. My reply? It was going to be eternally "fine" despite how I felt or how I was. Pretty interesting, isn't it?

That I was going to be ok every time someone greeted me was intriguing. Or was I going to be OK because I was going to be in OK? More interesting however, was the suggestion that "How are you?" was to be the standard mode of greeting. Granted I have been so greeted quite a number of times.

But the popularity of that form of greeting pales when it is juxtaposed with "wassup?"

One time I walked into a professor's office and the first thing that I heard was "wassup?"

Instinctively before I could catch myself, "oh my God" escaped my lips. Appropriately, he asked what was up and I replied that I had never known him to speak like

that, even in informal conversations.

Where I hail from, greetings are very important in everyday living, and the modes vary according to whom I am talking to. I would never say `sasa' (loosely for wassup), for example, to a person of my parent's age, only to a lijana chipukizi" (youthful person).

In fact, the youth have created their own language that they communicate in. This language is exclusionary to the old. That is the way of languages, I guess. It is all about a language being for expression.

Americans are informal insofar as pleasantries are concerned. At least those I have met come across as laid-back linguistically compared to the Queen's subjects who are sticklers for formality; this is in spite of a good many Americans having a penchant for fast, sleek vehicles and crypt expressions.

Despite what I have said about those "how to" books, they were very resourceful when you come to think about it, given that they defused a lot of things for me that helped me in the transitory phase of relocation. Additionally, when you muse about the stress on formality in greeting that those books advocated, the verdict, me thinks, is that it was worth the labor.

Contradictory as this might seem, I am cocksure that you will acquiesce with me that it is better for Gary England to forecast the probability of rain than rule it out absolutely.

If there was a chance of rain and it did not rain, that would be better than if there wasn't a chance but it nonetheless rained. It is my guess . that people would not be mad if they carried umbrellas they did not need than if they did not carry them and realized at the eleventh hour that they needed them.

It all come down to the "safer than sorry" principle when you think about it. Tell them to expect formality. When they do not encounter it they will be less appalled than when they looked forward to informality and they did not get it.

Animal Planet host to speak at UCO

BY MICHAEL LARSON

Senior Writer Jeff Corwin, biologist and host of the Animal Planet channel's "The Jeff Corwin Experience," will speak at 1 p.m. June 19 in Constitution Hall.

Corwin is the first in a series of four speakers coming in June and July for UCO's "Hot Topics" speaker series.

Corwin will share his knowledge and his message of environmental preservation. A 30-minute

reception open to the public will follow the speech.

In Corwin's television show, he travels the globe exploring the wildlife of different countries and regions in its natural habitat. In one episode, he travels to India to cover a cobra festival.

Corwin has Bachelors of Science degrees in biology and anthropology from Bridgewater State University and a Masters of Science in Natural Resources Conservation from University of Massachusetts.

Blake Fry, director of Campus Life, arranged the series of speakers through Keppler Associates, a speaker agency.

"Over the summer, the average age of students goes up by about three years. We wanted to appeal to a more mature audience and their families," Fry said.

Fry estimated the cost of travel, lodging and fee for the four speakers and the cost of receptions following every speech at about $39,000. It will be paid largely by money from student's activity fees.

"We're fortunate that though we have all these budget cuts at the state level, the cuts don't affect our student activity fee," Fry said.

Other speakers in the "Hot Topics" series include Sgt. Charlie Epperly from the Oklahoma City Police Department, award winning poet Nikki Giovanni, and Bob Arnot, a foreign correspondent for NBC news.

The Ralph Ellison Library will present their sixteenth annual Juneteenth celebration on June 15.

"We think this event is important, because AfricanAmerican history is part of every American's history," said Darcus Smith, manager of the library.

Blake Fry, director of Campus Life at UCO, said that Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the United States.

He said the holiday dates from 1865 when Union troops landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the Civil War was over.

Fry said that the news came to Texas two-and-a-half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law.

According to Juneteenth.com , traditional Juneteenth celebration activities include rodeos, barbecues, baseball, and fishing.

Festivities almost always emphasize education and selfimprovement, and usually include guest speakers and stories about the past from older members of

Local author to discuss Vending refunds available book on wartime women

BY JOANNA WEISER

Staff Writer

BY MICHAEL ROBERTSON

Staff Writer Oklahoma author Rosemary Eckroat Bachle will discuss her book Women's War Memoirs at 6 p.m. June 20 in the atrium of Howell Hall at UCO.

Women's War Memoirs is a collection of stories about the experiences of women in wartime. The book mainly focuses on stories from World War II, but includes stories from the Korean War and the Vietnam conflict, Bachle said.

She said that many of the women she interviewed for the book are from Oklahoma, some of whom she grew up with.

"I'm of that vintage, so I just asked people; my age where they were during

the war, and someone almost always had a story to tell," she said.

Bachle said she first got the idea for her book when she attended a history class at UCO. The reading for the class included about fifteen books on war from a male perspective. She looked for books about women in war, but could find only one.

Bachle decided to do a class project about women, and the project grew from there, she said.

Bachle attended Oklahoma City University in 1940, but had to quit because of World War II. Over the years, she took classes at OCU and UCO, and graduated from OCU in 1994.

Bachle is an Oklahoma

City resident, and is a member of Pen Women of America in Arts and Letters, Oklahoma City Writers, Oklahoma Writers Federation, and the Poetry Society of Oklahoma.

According to Claudia Miller, the event coordinator, Bachle's review is part of an ongoing quarterly series that focuses on Oklahoma authors.

She said that the majority of the authors come from Oklahoma City and Edmond.

Miller said the event is open to the public, and refreshments and door prizes will be provided by Edmond Bank.

To RSVP or for more information about the book review series, call 341-8001.

UCO students have a new place to turn the next time they lose money in a campus vending machine.

Director of Purchasing Robert Epstein said that vending machine refunds is now available at the Chambers Library Circulation Desk in addition to Room 315 of the Nigh University Center.

Epstein said that the refunds would still be available in the Facility, Administration and Business buildings.

"It's always been done at the U.C. Having a few places on campus makes it easier," Epstein said.

Head of Access Services Adri EdwardsJohnson said students need two things when they go to get their refunds.

"On every machine there's a label near the coin intake, on it is a 'stop' number, we need that and how much money they lost."

Epstein said that the decision to make refunds available at the library was for the benefit of students.

"It's a common place that's open late, this is helpful because the U.C. closes (earlier)," Epstein said.

Students who have ideas for machines they would like to have on campus should e-mail PHOTO BY TINA FOWBLE the department at purchasing@ucok.edu.

Wrestling program signs high school recruits

BY KELLEY CHAMBERS Sports Writer

When a school is home to the current and 13-time championship wrestling team, recruiting great talent is never an obstacle. And that is just how UCO has once again bagged a winner with Utah high school state champion Shea Timothy.

Timothy, a nineteen-year-old who has been wrestling since the age of four, comes to UCO from Price, Utah with an impressive 123-26 record and 65 falls.

He will be joining the Bronchos, taking his place among five AllAmericans on one of the best squads in the country.

Timothy, though not yet

decided on a major, is excited and inspired to be joining a Division II championship team, said his mother Belinda Timothy.

After considering various schools, Timothy was contacted by UCO head coach David James to join the Bronchos. "Coach James liked what he saw," his mother said.

This summer Timothy will remain in Utah working for the Division of Wildlife before moving to Oklahoma in August shortly before school begins, his mother said.

The Broncho wrestlers have also added four other new faces to the lineup including both high school recruits and a transfer student.

Jason Tapia, a native of Santa

Fe, New Mexico, will be transferring to the Bronchos from the University of Southern Colorado and is majoring in special education.

The 174 pound Tapia was a threetime New Mexico State Champion and went undefeated 31-0 with 29 falls as a senior at Santa Fe High.

Newcomer Jared Hess from Western Heights high school and is a native of Oklahoma City.

Weighing in at 185, Hess was the 2002 4A State PHOTO SERVICES Champion with a 33-0 record as a UCO hopes to repeat last season's senior boasting a championship with help from new recruits and career record of the 2001 National Champion, Cole Province.

114-11 with 54 falls.

Another Jared on the squad is and his father Greg who wrestled Jared Henning from Tuttle high for the University of Oklahoma.

Henning's father, who has been school, brother of UCO wrestler Jeff Henning who is currently the head wrestling coach in Tuttle for the past seventeen years was ranked third in the nation.

Henning comes from a tradition also a graduate assistant at UCO of wrestlers including his brother, for one year under Coach Jim

Rogers. Rogers resurrected the wrestling program in the early 1970's after it had been dropped.

Now Henning will continue his family's proud wrestling tradition under head coach and family friend David James.

Finishing off this coming season's new recruits is Josh Leading Fox from Pawnee high school of Pawnee, Oklahoma.

Leading Fox is a diverse athlete who competed in wrestling, football, baseball and track. He was an All State wrestling champion in 2002 and lists that event as his favorite sports memory.

Coach James is excited about his new recruits and his returning wrestlers citing it as an honor to have such good people in the program.

"First, from an athletic standpoint their stats pretty much justify their ability, and second these are great individuals, good students, and good wrestlers," James said.

He remains hopeful and optimistic that with his powerhouse team and with the addition of some shining new talent that UCO will once again bring home the championship in 2003.

Structural quality questioned; stairs closed for repairs

BY STEPHANIE NEASE

Staff Writer Marilyn Kreidler, director of the university center, said the stairway on the west side of Nigh University Center has been fenced off for the protection of the students.

David Stapleton, director of architectural and engineering services at UCO, said the red brick wall that towers above the stairway has become structurally unsound, and is in danger of losing its brick veneer.

He said that although the wall looks fine from the outside, the inside wall is another story.

Workers recently pointed out a

concrete block separating from the surrounding blocks. The defect was caused by the natural movement of the wall, Stapleton said.

The original wall was built in the 1950s, and technology was different back then, he said.

Movement of the wall was amplified because the wall was built without steel support beams as it would be built today.

Stapleton said there is no danger of the entire wall falling, but the brick veneer may separate from the concrete wall behind it, leaving students on the stairs below in danger.

Removing a row of brick on each floor, will allow steel beams

to be inserted to support the brick veneer, Stapleton said.

The concrete wall, although not up to current specifications, does not need to be replaced, he said.

Kreidler said the process to fix the problem will probably extend into the fall semester.

Stapleton must accept, bids for the repair work, and then the bids must be taken before the board of regents at their July meeting.

After approval, the job can proceed.

Ted Jones, administrative chief of police at UCO said students should avoid the area even if taking the long way around is an inconvenience.
