Fall break reinstated, recent memo states October 19, 20 tentatively scheduled

BY ALLISON FRANKLIN

Editor in Chief

p

all break will be reinstated this year at UCO, according to an email memo sent out by university relations June 16. Other university officials, however, would not confirm this information.

The e-mail went out to UCO's community group address, stating that fall break would be Oct. 19 and 20.

These dates were chosen to coincide with Edmond Public Schools' break and the Oklahoma Education Association annual meeting.

An official from academic affairs said no final decisions have been made regarding fall break because the dates "conflicted with other things."

When contacted, an official from

the student activities office said homecoming was tentatively rescheduled for Nov. 4, but the final date should be set by June 23.

Dr. Bill Wiseman, UCO's director of university relations, said "the exact timing hasn't been settled yet."

UCO lost its fall break last year.

The original loss of fall break was voted on by an 11-member committee made up of faculty members, administrators, and one student.

"It was a representative sample," said Jerry Legere, vice president for enrollment management.

Legere said last year's decision to remove fall break was made because the committee felt UCO was in

danger of falling behind the mandated number of classroom hours set by the State Regents for Higher Education. •

t's that time of year again — the time when stepping outside means entering a sauna.

Sometimes we're lucky enough to get a breeze, enabling a breath or two. Other times, our only hope is to beg a shade tree to protect us from the Heat Nazi.

Air conditioning is more highly appreciated than ever this time of year. Without it, many of us would say we simply couldn't function. None of us would want to test the truth of this statement, but unfortunately, those who attend UCO have had to. And we've proven it true.

It's hard enough to pay attention when it's not 90-plus degrees in the classroom. When sweat dripping from students' brows blurs the ink of their notes, the whole idea of learning takes a backseat to fantasies of cold showers and iceskating rinks.

Students stare blankly at their professors, who display massive rings of arm-pit sweat and are themselves ready to strip down to string bikinis.

At least we can imagine what lizards feel like in the Sahara Desert.

Every once in a while, an air conditioning

unit does get fixed. What a relief, one would think. Not the case.

Students enter classrooms wearing as little as possible to combat the anticipated heat, not realizing they are in for an arctic blast. Instead of, "Does anyone have an extra scantron?" it's, "Does anyone have an extra scarf?"

Those who live on campus can attest to the extremes of UCO's climate control system. Some days, students can be seen walking around their dorm rooms naked, and for good reason. Other days they might be spotted outside gathering sticks to rub together.

True, everyone has their own opinion of the perfect temperature. And UCO isn't the first university to hear complaints on the subject. But the temperature extremes all over campus seem to be more disconcerting than usual this summer.

It's nearly impossible for students to learn and professors to teach in such an uncomfortable environment, and learning is precisely what this institution was created for. It's time for UCO to do whatever it takes to achieve a happier medium. •

embers of the American Cancer Society (ACS) are working to educate middle school children of the risks of skin cancer by sending a mobile classroom across the country.

"The 53-foot trailer is home to seven interactive computers, a small theater and several educational displays.

"This is all for prevention," said Whitney Stephens of the ACS's Heartland Division.

Stephens said that an estimated 47,700 new cases of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, will be diagnosed in the year 2000.

- Traveling with the mobile classroom, Stephens explains the information to middle-school children in Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma schools.

"It's an important age for kids. We should get to them even earlier, but we let them know the consequences of certain behaviors and hope they make the best choices," Stephens said.

The mobile classroom visited the University of Central Oklahoma June 13 and 14 by request of UCO's Dr. Karen Barnes.

Barnes is on the ACS Heartland Division Advisory Committee for curriculum development of the mobile classroom.

She brought the mobile classroom to UCO to introduce the opportunity to the nurses from around the state who were on campus for the annual School Nurse Institute.

"The focus is prevention and reaching schoolage children before they develop habits that can lead to cancer," Barnes said.

The mobile classroom gives kids information about which lifestyles can help reduce their risk for cancer, Stephens said.

According to a display in the mobile classroom, 70 percent of a person's exposure to harmful sunlight occurs before age 17.

The classroom lists several types of cancer and the behaviors linked with their development. It also displays a "smoker's mask" used in radiation treatment of cancer patients.

The mask was donated by a man who underwent the treatment. It is molded in the shape of his head.

Diet and exercise are mentioned as important factors for keeping personal risk levels down.

The risks of tobacco use are also discussed.

"If someone wanted to take it on as their project for a fraternity, sorority or any group, they need funding and support. I'd love it if they'd contact me," Barnes said.

For information about a mobile classroom visit or to lend financial support to the project, Dr. Barnes can be reached at 974-5334. •

Dermatologists offer tips to prevent melanoma The American Academy of Dermatology suggests the following precautions for the summer months: • Limit your outdoor activities between 10 a.m. and 4 pm.

• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15.

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors, even on cloudy days.

• Wear protective, tightly-woven clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt and pants.

• Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses when outdoors.

• Stay in the shade whenever possible.

• Avoid reflective surfaces, which can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun's damaging rays.

• No shadow...seek the shade! If your shadow is shorter than you are, you're likely to sunburn.

• Avoid tanning beds.

• Take special care when UV Index exposure levels are 5 to 10+.

he Edmond Public Library reopened June 5 after undergoing a $2.5 million renovation. Ten thousand square feet were added to the library's existing 17,000 square feet.

Improvements include more parking spaces, new reading and program rooms, and additional study areas.

Materials were added in all subject areas of the library, including the purchase of 19th Century Literary Criticism.

Circulation has soared, said Library Manager Karen Bays.

"We're swamped. Three thousand books would be a busy day. On June 12 we reached six thousand," said Bays.

During restoration, the library held a temporary location at Danforth and Kelly.

The library now occupies its original location at 10 S. Boulevard.

Edmond Mayor Bob Rudkin and architect Jim Davis spoke June 15 at the library's Grand Opening Celebration.

The public was treated to refreshments, a jazz band, Chester the Clown and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The library houses six multi-use computers with various software and reference databases. Four intemet access-only computers are available. There are also computers called `Cybermars' that contain the library catalog.

A self-checkout computer service is a new convenience offered by the library.

The service allows customers to bypass a long line and check out materials on their own.

On opening day 1,200 items were checked out using the service.

"We're very excited to be open again and to have everybody back," said Bays. •

Edmond's Oak Tree hosts 33rd PGA Club Professional Championship

W

hen he was an assistant professional at Oak Tree Country Club, Jeff Freeman sneaked across the road as often as possible to play at the Oak Tree Golf Club.

The lure of the famed Pete Dye layout in Edmond, which hosted the 1984 U.S. Amateur and 1988 PGA Championship, was too tempting for the Norman native to pass up. Freeman, the defending PGA Club Professional Champion, was an assistant from 1986 to 1987 at Oak Tree Country Club. He estimated that he has played Oak Tree Golf Club, which hosts The 33rd PGA Club Professional Championship June 22-25, "more than 50 times."

"People have asked me what is the toughest course I've played," said Freeman, now an assistant professional at Tamarisk Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif. "I've

played a lot of courses around the country, but I think Oak Tree is the toughest. And, I can't wait to get back."

In winning the 1999 CPC — the showcase event for PGA professionals — the 38-year-old Freeman was the only player to break par at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis. There is one constant, Freeman said, in preparing for .a return to Oklahoma — the wind. It blows up and down the plain.

"If the wind blows as I think it will, the winning score could be anywhere from 1- to 5-under-par," he said. Last year Freeman became the seventh player to win The CPC in his first attempt. He also won the Southern California PGA Section Championship and The Western Regional PGA Club Professional Championship.

This year, Freeman has competed in four PGA Tour events,

making the cut in two — The Bob Hope Desert Classic and the Nissan Open. He has earned more than $20,000.

"I'm at the time of the year where I can get back to practicing," he said. "Most of our members have gone home for the summer."

Despite his familiarity with the Oak Tree Golf Club, Freeman has never played a competitive round on the course. "That will be strange, but I feel I can adjust," he said. "It was tough last year at Whistling Straits. I think it will be even tougher this year."

Freeman will be part of a 156player field for The 33rd PGA Club Professional Championship. The event, which will be broadcast live

by The Golf Channel, is presented

by Club Car Inc., IBM, Oldsmobile and Titleist/FootJoy Worldwide and Cobra Golf. The PGA Tour is a contributing partner.

It's an old cliché — two teams going in opposite directions. But sometimes clichés are true. The Wranglers come into this game at 4-5. the losers of five straight games. Iowa, the Central Division leader, is 6-3 on the strength of a fivegame winning streak. If Oklahoma can rediscover its early-season offensive magic, this could be a wild one. The Wranglers averaged 63.5 points per game in their four consecutive wins to open the year, but are scoring just 33.6 points per game during their current skid. The Barnstormers, meanwhile, are playing like the Wranglers were to start the season, scoring 63.8 points per game in their last five outings. Iowa has had an extra week to prepare, thanks to their Week 10 open date.

UCO's G.A.T.E. chapter to march

in parade despite expected protest

Staff Writer lthough protests are expected, the UCO branch of the Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality (G.A.T.E.) — a national gay and lesbian support organization — plan to participate in the Oklahoma City Gay Pride Parade June 24.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas plan to protest the parade, according to their web site at www.godhatesfags.com .

The Rev. Fred Phelps, pastor of the church, has organized hundreds of protests, including one at the funeral of Matthew Shepherd, who was beaten to death on Oct. 12, 1998.

"We aren't too worried. He's (Phelps) just an old guy that's probably going to make a fool of himself," said Mandy Whitten, president of UCO's G.A.T.E.

A

chapter.

"He isn't violent. He just pickets and acts stupid, so I'm not worried," she said.

Although not violent, Phelps' supporters often carry potentially inflammatory signs reading, "God Hates Fags" and "AIDS Cures Fags."

The parade begins at 5 p.m. at Memorial Park and will continue down 39th street.

The protest is scheduled for 6 p.m., according to Westboro's web site.

"There may not be anyone left to protest by the time they get there," Whitten said.

The G.A.T.E. parade entry consists of a truck pulling a trailer. UCO G.A.T.E. members will ride on the trailer and shoot the crowd with waterguns, Whitten said.

"The hardest part of organizing all of this was finding a truck and a trailer," Whitten said. •

Stage Center show `Six Women Experiencing Brain Death' proves entertaining

BY N. DAVID OWENS Staff Writer

A

trip through the demented mind of its creator, "Six Women Experiencing Brain Death" is sure to warp anyone who sees it.

The R-rated, 2 1/2 hour play slams everything from Barbie to Bambi, sparing nothing.

Due to the fact that my mouth operates independently from my brain, I am not allowed in public without a chaperone.

Lacking a date this weekend, I had to rely on my friend Kimmy to swat me every time I was about to get in trouble.

She had to hit me quite a lot.

As I arrived at Carpenter Square Theatre, located next to the Myriad Gardens (HINT HINT guys, take a date), I was greeted by a wonderful sight: a bar.

Carpenter Square had thoughtfully provided a full service bar inside the theater, which was overwhelmingly popular with the play's patrons.

As a journalist, I am deeply committed to the concepts of truth, information and free drinks. As a service to the community, I took it upon myself to try to con the bartender out of a free scotch and soda for almost half an hour.

Sadly, they have never read the part of the

Our Package Handlers Get Priority Plus!

first amendment that states "The freedom of the press, including free drinks, shall not be abridged."

After forking over four dollars for what I have to admit was a very nicely-mixed drink, I proceeded to the show.

Starting off with the comment, "I'm not a man-hater, I just hate men," the play proceeded to tear down kitsch culture at its roots. It lambasts men who equate their cars with their masculinity, women who sit on couches obsessing over soap operas, men who think about nothing but sex, tabloid magazines and, well, men in general.

There is not a plot per se, but a series of sketches and one-acts that provided this reviewer with yet another reason to not study for his summer block classes on a weekend.

The play rapidly changes from scenes of drug use to Snow White talking sex with Bambi's forest friends. Cast members routinely single out audience members to throw a moon pie at, have a side conversation with, or to make them zip up an actor's dress.

Throughout their estimated 16,000 costume changes (I arrived at this number after my third trip to the bar, so it may not be wholly accurate), the six women maintain a constant color motif. Each actor wears the color that represents her personality, much in the same manner as the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

both ceramics and glass.

"It's a great way to enhance our studies and the program here at UCO. We'll bring back ideas and techniques and hopefully take a step toward offering a master's in fine art here," said Lawrence Corff.

To take five weeks away from home has required dedication and sacrifice for the five students.

"What's special about this is two of these students are going on a full scholarship from the Carl Singer Memorial Fund. Each of them has a unique situation and a real commitment to make this happen," Gayle Singer said.

Feature Writer

uiet fog floated in the air as the Spring 2000 semester ended at UCO. The fountains at Broncho Lake flung water into the alreadydamp air. Old North sounded out the chimes for the noon hour, and students trickled into classrooms to complete exams on the last day of finals week.

The grass stood obediently, neatly trimmed. The sidewalks stretched across the ground, smooth and clean. Plants bloomed and trees slowly reached toward the sky.

Somewhere, UCO students made plans for graduation. Others planned for the summer and fall semesters. And surely, many others had no plans at all.

Another semester had come and gone at UCO and the neatly-kept campus quietly watched it pass by.

Over the years it's seen many changes. In fact, nine years and $79 million ago, the UCO landscape was different in many ways.

Before 1995, Murdaugh Hall housed only female students. The residents were proud of their newly redecorated lobby. Chairs and sofas dressed in burgundy and green lounged in neat groups on area rugs or patches of carpet. Mailboxes held muchanticipated letters from home and loved ones while vending machines offered snacks to students working on their "Freshman 15."

Residents parked in lots directly adjacent to the dorm on either the west or east side. Now students who live on campus must park near the library or West Hall, among other places.

Streets ran through campus, not just around it.

Both residents and commuters could drive all the way around the Communications Building to look for a parking spot.

Students entered the much-smaller Max Chambers Library on the south side. Wooden tables and chairs filled the old lounge area and squeaked across the floor. Cigarette smoke clogged the air and the sounds of conversations bounced off the walls.

Now that same space is a quiet study area, and everyone enters the library though the doors on the east side.

Inside, temperamental elevators reluctantly carried students up to the periodicals on the third floor or to the sprinkling of study rooms on the fourth. Once in a while, one or the other elevator would refuse to work, regardless of whether it still held passengers.

An unfortunate student worker usually manned the exit and individually inspected each student's book bag on the way out, making sure no books inappropriately left the building. It seemed like an unnecessary measure since most students loathed checking out research books anyway.

In the remodeled library now, visitors ride worryfree elevators and automatic sensors guard the doors.

Options for meals on campus were slim. Students only had the Central Cafeteria, Red Bud Room and the now-forgotten weekend cafeteria in the University Center to choose from.

Now students and staff can either eat at the Cafeteria or the Red Bud Room, or have Tex-Mex, Italian, Oriental or American menu items in the food Court.

The city of Edmond also had far fewer restaurants to pick from. There wasn't a Denny's, Bennigan's,

Golden Corral, or any of the countless other restaurants that have sprouted up in recent years.

Thatcher Hall was a dorm for UCO's male students and ROTC cadets instead of the offices and classrooms it holds now.

There wasn't a bank or an ATM on campus. There wasn't a co-ed dorm, University Commons housing or Education Building.

Business Administration classes met in two separate buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Business North and Business South.

Now those buildings have been joined, and a lecture hall has been added.

Many offices that students needed to frequently. access were divided between the University Center and the Administration Building, much to the discontent of new students. It was often difficult to remember that the housing office was located in the UC and parking services was in the Administration Building. Or was that vice-versa?

During enrollment, students flooded the entire first floor of the PHOTO PROVIDED Administration Building. Some waited to see academic advisors, A picture from the UCO archives shows the University Center before Broncho Lake was others checked course availability, built on its north side. and hundreds more stood in line to add, drop, or enroll in classes. Of course, there were always plenty of students waiting to wrangle with the financial aid department. The halls seemed likely to cave in, computers crashed, lines lengthened, the temperature rose and tempers shortened with each terrible tick on the time clock.

In the middle of campus, Thatcher Hall, the Home Economics Building and the University Center bordered a low-lying grassy area. A long, narrow sidewalk divided the grass into two halves and offered the most direct route to the UC entrance.

After any significant amount of rain, the water would quickly gather over the grass and put most of the sidewalk under water. The ground stayed soggy for days and forced students to walk around the temporary pond they always called Broncho Lake until the sun dried it up again.

Nine years and millions of dollars haven't changed the fact that the perfect parking space is hard to find for those living on campus and off.

Students still have more entertaining things to do than visit the library, even if it is bigger and has more to offer.

Everyone tires of mundane food and enrolling is still a headache, although now it's organized better in the remodeled University Center.

Changes planned for UCO's near future won't include anything as dramatic as those made in recent years. It's more likely that subtle improvements will be added here and there to meet UCO's rising enrollment needs.

The new Cyber Cafe will emerge, followed by the Wellness Center and maybe even new housing. Other various improvements will continue, one semester after the next, until UCO students a few years from now wonder what we ever did without them. â&#x20AC;˘

Aries: (March 21--April 19) You find that the summer months are taking a large toll on your energy.

Try to avoid eating those funny brownies that your RA warned you about.

That should help.

Taurus: (April. 20--May 20) Known for their stubbornness, Taurus' hold their beliefs even in the face of overwhelming evidence. But this is no excuse for you calling the judge a Fascist. You deserve the prison sentence he gave you.

Gemini: (May 21--June 21) For years you have seen a strange person stalking you, which prompted you to purchase a gun and never leave home after dark. This week, you discover that your "stalker" was merely your face in every mirror you pass.

Aquarius: (Jan. 20--Feb. 18) Those born under the sign Aquarius have an affinity for water. At least this is what you tell the investigators who arrest you for crashing a rented jet ski into the marina at Lake Hefner.

Pisces: (Feb. 19--March 20) Ironically, you discover that you are allergic ro fish this week, prompting a short but eventful stay in the emergency room. You find that your doctor is a Scorpio who mistakenly removes your left leg and gives you a sex change operation because he is too hung-over to read your chart. You will die of fish allergies before waking to your new life as a member of the opposite sex, though, so it is not -all bad.
