Universities free to give out info Leonard without fear of student lawsuits versus FROM WIRE REPORTS

Associated Press Students cannot sue schools and colleges that improperly release their grades or other personal information, the Supreme Court ruled last Thursday.

The 7-2 ruling was a setback for students and families seeking to keep information private, but school groups said it would head off costly and ineffective lawsuits.

The ruling, written by Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, said the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or (FERPA), gives "no specific, individually enforceable rights," leaving it up to the Education Department to .

punish a school by stripping its federal funding.

In a dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens, joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, said the ruling gives few options to people who are wronged under this law and probably many other laws that don't explicitly allow lawsuits.

The case pitted administrators of Gonzaga University, a private Jesuit school in Spokane, Wash., against a student who claimed his hopes of becoming a teacher were ruined by unproven allegations he sexually assaulted a fellow student.

A jury ordered Gonzaga to pay Ru Paster $450,000 for releasing details of the allegation to the state education department, which was considering giving him

a teaching certificate.

The Supreme Court said Paster was entitled to nothing under FERPA because the 1974 law does not say anything about private lawsuits for violations.

"We are delighted at the outcome. We think it's a very fair outcome," Gonzaga corporation counsel Mike Casey said. "The U.S. Supreme Court has vindicated our position that such matters are remedied at the Department of Education, not in the courts, federal or state."

The court's decision does not stop students from filing lawsuits on other grounds, however.

"We don't look as much alike as we used to," Michael Glendinning said, smiling at his identical twin brother, Casey.

With their twinkling green eyes, baseball caps and T-shirts, Michael and Casey sat comfortably side-by-side, talking about "Comedy of Errors," the Shakespeare in the Park production playing through July 7.

The show starts at 8 p.m.

Thursdays through Sundays in Hafer Park except on July 4.

"This is the first time we played identical twins in a play," Michael said.

The brothers have been in plays together before, they said.

"Usually they disguise one of us so the audience can tell us apart," Casey said.

Director of the play and UCO Chair of the Theater Department Roberta Sloan said she happened to know that Michael, a recent graduate the department, had an identical twin brother.

Goliath Local politican Leonard Sullivan wants to change Oklahoma's Constitution; a move that will create a UCO board of regents.

BY STEPHANIE NEASE

Staff Writer In a June 7 interview, Rep. Leonard Sullivan volunteered to change the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma, which according to Steve Kreidler, UCO's vice president for administration, has been a massive, immovable object since its adoption July 16, 1907.

Sullivan's argument: The original purpose for grouping certain universities together under a common board of regents, a hundred-year-old configuration, seems no longer valid. The system should change to keep up with the times.

Article II, Section 1 of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma reads: All political power is inherent in the people; and government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and to promote their general welfare; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it: Provided such change be not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States.

How does one take on an immovable object? Rep. Sullivan said it would take legislation to change the Constitution and restructure the boards of regents.

He said a bill would have to be drafted. He even said he would do it. Next year.

"I don't think schools should release personal information, but I don't think students should be able to sue."

The new Supreme Court ruling took away students' rights to sue schools for improperly releasing students' personal information.

That leaves the Education Department to decide on whether or not to punish the schools by taking away federal funding.

Just exactly what kind of punishment would that be? Losing federal funding punishes the students more than anyone else. And that means it's very unlikely for the Education Department to actually take any such action.

It doesn't make sense to tell a student that the school can't be held responsible for releasing information that might have ruined the rest of his life.

If the school improperly released the information, they should be punished.

A better law would limit what student information and under what circumstances the schools might release to make grounds for lawsuits more clear, and not taking away every student's right to sue for injustice.

Whatever happened to the law protecting the innocent?

students shouldn't have to worry about schools releasing any personal information without their consent.

But those things do happen. School employees who have access to student information are bountiful and personal information thieves do exist.

Telling students they can't take legal action, even when their rights might be violated, simply betrays all the teachings of democracy and freedom.

What this law is telling the schools is that they don't have to take extra care with how they use the students' personal information.

Sullivan:

continued from page 1 "What I'm going to do next year — and I'm really dedicated to this, and I really believe we're (Republicans) going to take over the legislature this summer — is I'm going to get Oklahoma County people organized, and make them understand that UCO is not an Edmond project. It's a Central Oklahoma deal," Sullivan said.

"And I'm going to get all the guys; in fact I may form a little ad hoc committee, and have a meeting up at the university occasionally."

"If we just took all the legislators within 25 miles of that campus, we could have 20 representatives and three or four senators. We'd have a couple of meetings and say, 'Hey, this is our school, it's our project."

"I'm an OSU graduate. In fact I'd do anything for OSU. They come and ask me and I'll do what I can to help them, but I'm not going to adopt them like I have UCO." "In fact, I really have to bite my tongue to vote for anything they do for OSU over at Tulsa, because I think that's just another political deal. All the people up there —

Privacy:

continued from page 1 Paster also accused the school of defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, and breach of contract.

He won about $600,000 on those claims, which were not contested in this case.

Jon Fuller, senior fellow at the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, said the ruling will prevent minor lawsuits that would be "costly and not a very effective way to protect individuals and protect overall privacy."

Sheldon Steinbach, general counsel of the American Council on Education, which advocates for colleges and universities, said allowing lawsuits under FERPA could have led to "a new cottage industry of lawyers who would sue institutions."

But Beth Brinkmann, Paster's attorney, said the law was in effect for more than 25 years before the Gonzaga case and that "there was no flood of litigation."

when they come here, god — I just hold my nose and vote for the damn thing. But I also fought it about as much as I helped it."

"Hans Brisch told me `UCO's got too many students. If they'd cut their student body in half, they'd have twice as much money per student.'

That's like telling the local J.C.Penney store if they would lay off half their employees, they could pay the half that's left twice as much."

Harve Allen, media representative for state regents' Chancellor Hans Brisch said, "Sullivan's been pounding the drum down at the legislature about UCO." Rep. Sullivan is about to embark on his last election, his last two-year term. He said he plans to continue to fight for UCO with his loudest voice, to the consternation of his "enemies."

He said when his legislative career is over, he will retire to his real estate slash construction business. But he insists he will make room for politics and the strange bedfellows it thrusts upon him.

"UCO needs a dedicated person, just for outside fund-raising. I might make that my job after ..."

"Schools can easily comply with this," she said. "In those egregious situations like this, where there was a violation that caused a student serious harm, until today there was a means by which a student or parent could go to court."

Steven Shapiro, national legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the decision effectively strips victims of recourse.

"It's unrealistic to expect the federal government to cut off federal funding in these cases, yet that's the only remedy that the court recognizes," he said. "So you're left with a situation in which Congress passed FERPA to protect student privacy rights, and the court has now left students with no way to protect those rights."

The privacy law gives parents or adult students veto power over release of school records at any school, from kindergarten through graduate school, that receives federal money. It covers personal information such as race, religion, grades, courses taken, attendance and disciplinary actions.

Program offers academic assistance

BY JOANNA WEISER

Staff Writer UCO students who seek academic assistance may be eligible to join Student Support Services (SSS), a federally funded program.

SSS Director Cheryl Murdock said students must either meet the Department of Education financial requirements or be a first-generation undergraduate student with neither parent having graduated from college.

Students must also be U.S. citizens and meet academic need criteria.

Academic need, or the need for academic assistance does not necessarily mean the student has a low GPA, Murdock said. Students who had transferred, been placed on academic probation or were getting a D or F in a class may also qualify for academic need.

"One of our goals is to improve potential. We look for students

that need some kind of additional academic support," Murdock said.

Senior Jorge Alacron, who joined upon a friend's recommendation, said he is enjoying his first month with the program.

"It's helping me get through my last year. It's tough, but (SSS) is helping me with my problems with classes," he said.

Murdock said the program offers' several services, all free of charge to the student. These services include writing assistance, individual tutoring, counseling, cultural/social activities and mentoring.

By being part of the SSS program, Alacron is able to take advantage of all these services.

He said he would have liked to join SSS sooner.

"It's a cool program with very helpful people," Alacron said.

Retention Coordinator Carla Wood said the unique thing about

SSS is the assurance it gives students.

"It gives you that vote of confidence that you need to keep going when you feel like quitting," she said.

Wood said the involvement in cultural and social activities on campus was an important part of the program.

"Research has proven that if a student is engaged in, not only an academic environment, but also campus activities, they are more likely to stay until they complete their degree," she said.

Students who are interested in the program may call 974-3607 or stop by the SSS office in the U.S. Department of Education Grants office on the second floor of the Max Chambers Library

Twins:

continued from page 1 "I asked him if his brother acted, he said 'yeah'."

Casey had studied theater at Oklahoma City University.

"I've never heard of a production of this - play to have actual twins playing the twins," Sloan said.

Michael and Casey said they were told that they won the parts right after the audition.

The pair plays a set of twins who were separated at birth. They shared the same name, but were unaware of the other even when they ended up living in the same town.

"Our characters are very different in the play just like how we are different in real life," Michael said.

"Your character is more of a warrior type, right?" Michael said, turning to Casey.

"I lose my temper a lot in the play just like I lose my temper a lot in real life," Casey said.

Michael said his character, who had just moved into town, is the happier one.

"He doesn't know why everyone knows his name, but he just kind of goes along with it," he said.

Casey said because the characters don't know they are twins, he has to act like he doesn't know Michael is there.

"I do a better job if I don't see any of his scenes," he said.

"Comedy of Errors" is the first Shakespearean play the brothers have done.

"I've always wanted to do Shakespeare but I'd always kind of feared the language," Michael said.

"It's so complex."

Casey said that even though they are not doing the play in an accent, he's had to work hard on his speech.

"I have to keep it from sounding too Okie," he said.

Some cast members have trouble telling the brothers apart because of their similar costumes.

27, 2002

Michael wears a white feather in his hat while Casey wears a blue feather.

Michael said he was nearly pulled on stage by a cast member when it was actually Casey's cue.

"I don't know his lines, but if something like that happens you'd have to do something," he said.

"You can't stand there and piss yourself," Michael said, causing Casey to erupt into laughter.

The other set of twins in the play, who are the servants for Michael and Casey's characters, is played by one man, John Hague.

"The show is worth seeing just to see John." Michael said.

"Even though we are the lead twins, we are not the funny twins," he said.

"The more serious we play our characters, the funnier the play is," he said.

Casey said if the audience pays attention to the beginning of the play, they'd be less likely to get confused.

Casey and Michael said they've loved acting since they were very young.

"I've always had a very loud voice," Casey said, grinning.

Michael said, "Acting is the - only thing that I've ever found that I'd like to do for the rest of my life."

"I'm not doing it for the money or fame," he said.

"There is just nothing like being on stage."

After tackling their first Shakespeare play, the brothers said they would like to work on more of them.

Casey said he'd like to try "Hamlet".

"Hamlet is a character I like the best."

Michael said, "I think I'd like to give Romeo a shot."

"Romeo is a wimp," Casey said, smiling at his brother.

"Yeah, but I'm good at playing a wimp," Michael said.

Degree requirements, faculty raises on H.E.A.R. list

BY STEPHANIE NEASE

Staff Writer Dr. Thomas Guild, a UCO business professor and chairman of Higher Education Association for Reform (H.E.A.R), a new proreform lobby group, talked about the findings of a 1991 study of Oklahoma's higher education regents by the Oklahoma House Education Committee.

Chronicled in both the Tulsa World and the Daily Oklahoman, the study determined that 44 percent of regents responding claimed little or no knowledge of their. duties and responsibilities prior to appointment by the governor.

One percent of respondents said they had never finished high school, and only about 29 percent said they had earned a bachelor's degree. The remaining 70 percent fell somewhere in between.

Guild said education — not politics — should be the deciding factor in choosing members for the various boards of regents that oversee Oklahoma's 25 institutions of higher learning.

H.E.A.R. is dedicated to bringing about such needed reforms in Oklahoma's higher education system, the lobby group said in a June 25 press release detailing their board members and a list of immediate reforms they are seeking.

A statute requiring that regents have earned a bachelor's degree is

first on that list.

Raising faculty salaries from their low point of 80 percent of the national or peer average is second.

Guild said that in the past, the legislature has appropriated extra funding for higher education, stating the extra funds were to raise faculty salaries.

When the money reached the institutions and was used for other purposes, the legislators heard about it.

Since the responsibility of designating the use of funds does not lie with the legislature, no laws were broken, Guild said.

"But if the legislators intended it to happen, and it didn't happen, they get a lot of people grumbling.

It certainly could chill their enthusiasm for passing additional monies," he said.

A familiar issue to UCO administration is tenure policy, which is third on the list.

Guild called UCO's tenurepromotion policy "one of the better in the state," but said the university needs to address the issue of termination.

As the policy stands, full-time non-tenured faculty at UCO may be fired without notification of reason, and without the right to appeal, he said.

Issue four deals with potential profits from a lottery, should one ever exist in Oklahoma. H.E.A.R. calls for a guarantee that higher education's share of lottery funds

will not be offset by a reduction in legislature-appropriated funds.

Number five calls for a mandatory earned doctorate degree for college presidents and administrators, along with previous experience in higher education, above student level.

Last on the list is a statute requiring each board of regents to include at least one member who is

pi

a faculty member from a college outside that board's influence.

H.E.A.R. calls for implementation and administration of this statute by the governor prior to its taking effect.

Guild explained that this reform assures each board includes someone familiar with the needs of a university, while not causing ‘`conflict-of-interest" issues.

Preservation group to restore state's oldest school

BY MICHAEL LARSON

Senior Writer Oklahoma territory's first schoolhouse has lain dormant as Sanders Camera Shop for more than 50 years. Now the Edmond Historic Preservation Trust (EHPT) is working to restore it to its original form.

Currently, the building sits near East Second Street and South Boulevard on a cinderblock foundation. The time-weathered structure wears ash-colored shingles and rusty steel shutters bolted over its windows.

A yellow sign painted onto its gray siding spells "Sander's amera hop," with a C and S completely faded and advertises recording tape, albums and dark room supplies.

Brown-rusted AC units poke from windows.

A second story added on as an afterthought, and not-so-seamlessly stacked above the first, originally served as a bell tower. The lot behind the building is home to five wind-pruned trees and a scattered gravel road.

The city of Edmond erected the schoolhouse more than 113 years ago and has since set it aside as a historic landmark.

"We hope to have the schoolhouse ready to go by January 2004," said Lucille Warrick, vice chairman of EHPT. Though EHPT raised $220,000 for the schoolhouse's restoration,

more than $35,000 is still needed, much of which EHPT hopes to draw from private donors.

MidFirst bank modeled donation boxes after the original schoolhouse and gave them to participating banks throughout Edmond to set up in their lobbies.

"As cute as the replicas are, it would attract people to know what the building looks like now and how far we have to go in the restoration process," Warrick said John Osborne, director of retail banking for MidFirst Bank in Edmond, said preserving the schoolhouse was important for seeing how the education process started. He said he thinks it will draw tourism to Edmond and serve as an educational tool.

"This is the first time I've seen so many banks come together for one common goal," he said.

EHPT is also raising funds through the Edmond Pioneer Public School Preservation Project, in which donors send in $25 and the name of their most influential teacher, which will be inscribed and displayed inside the schoolhouse.

Nineteen students attended the school's first day of class in 1889.

As Edmond was settled, the number of students increased and 37 students finished out the eightmonth term.

In the 1890's, the schoolhouse doubled as a church to different denominations. It was used for

Hamilton Field House quiet but not asleep

BY KELLEY CHAMBERS

Sports Writer The Hamilton Field House is quiet. Locker rooms are empty and if one waits long enough, a shock of tumbleweed might even be spotted blowing through the corridor. But this building is anything but empty.

Even as athletes enjoy their summer vacations, the devoted UCO coaches and athletic staff are already preparing for next season.

Coaches such as Simmons and Cook have been busy hosting youth camps in baseball and soccer with an outstanding turnout.

With tasks like restructuring championship teams to recruiting new talent, many coaches are putting in full days in preparation for the coming school year.

Wrestling coach David James has recently acquired a slew of new wrestlers from both near and far.

Baseball Coach Wendell Simmons has watched two of his pitchers sign with the major leagues in the past weeks while keeping his fingers crossed that his other starts will find homes in the major or minor leagues.

Mike Kirk has been busy holding down the fort and keeping on top of press releases during the off-season.

Kirk is the voice of the athletic department keeping the media up to date on all of the teams, new recruits, news and stats.

Walking through the Field House, one can spot a smattering of coaches at their desk. Some of them viewing old footage and fine tuning programs, others on the phone with

or meeting possible new team members.

So while the Field House is much quieter then during the school year when athletes are bustling about the corridors, coaches and staff continue a .111;10111; sometimes-thankless job keeping UCO a top ranked Division II school in all aspects.

What will come of their diligent work will be evident on the field this coming spring and fall.

Until then this devoted staff will continue their good work behind the scenes all summer in preparation for fall when athletes will awaken the PHOTO BY TINA FOWBLE quiet Field House and possibly Th e quiet exterior of the Hamilton Field House camouflages the buzzing ask their coaches, what did preparing work the coaches are doing inside

SPORTS Soccer camp full of kicks

BY KELLEY CHAMBERS

Sports Writer Little kids in the sun, soccer balls bouncing on the fields, sweaty hands, smiling faces, and lots of fun.

This is the agenda of a spirited bunch of youngsters participating in soccer camps held on the UCO campus this summer.

The camps are under the supervision of Broncho head soccer coach Mike Cook, and are sponsored by UCO, Puma and Dr Pepper.

Going on a fifth year, the weeklong camps bring together a diverse group of five- to twelve-year-olds who play on local recreational teams at the YMCA and the Edmond Soccer Club, Cook said.

The camps, which run through June with one session in August, were advertised through mail, local media and in-state soccer publications.

Each morning at 9 a.m. anxious little faces arrive and strap on their cleats for three hours of instruction.

Activities include evaluation, skill building, strategy, but most importantly, fun, Cook said.

The rag-tag brigade is then split into squads according to age, skill and gender and assigned to Coach' Cook or one of his motivated assistants.

Cook's assistants are comprised of his current players along with friends, former teammates and players that he has known and worked with in the past.

Basic soccer skills are required for inclusion in the camp though the youngsters are certainly not required to perform like Pele to make the cut.

Young participants are taught technique and drills that they can use and take back to their home teams.

Coaches are also encouraged to attend and bring their own ideas and drills to further help the kids, Cook said.

At the end of each week, parents are invited on Fridays to cheer their youngsters in a special game versus the coaches.

Afterwards, awards are handed out and players are recognized for successful completion of camp, Cook said.

Cook wants to use the camp to encourage community involvement and get local kids and his UCO players better acquainted.

"It's great to get the kids on campus," Cook said, possibly scouting his future talent among the campers.

One way that parents and kids can continue their support of UCO soccer throughout the year is the

adopt-a-player program.

For $100, kids can adopt a UCO soccer player for the season and reap the benefits of supporting a star.

Included in the package, the youth sponsors will have their name announced at home games, receive a free soccer clinic, a by-weekly newsletter, and the adopted player will come to their birthday party.

Coach Cook acknowledged the rise in soccer's popularity locally and nationally to the impressive performances of the United States professional teams, including the recent pursuit by the U.S men for the World Cup. Cook is anxious to help these young hopefuls to become stars in a sport that is now only second to basketball in youth participation in the U.S. He said that unlike other popular sports in the country, soccer is a true player's game.

Sitting on the grass enjoying a bottle of water and waving goodbye to his friends after another fun day at soccer camp, young Cody Cook, son of Coach Cook, said that he enjoys working on his soccer skills.

But even more than that, he said that he simply likes being out on the field with his dad playing the game that they both love.

Women's soccer season preview UCO is expected to finish second in the Lone Star Conference women's soccer race for 2002 behind defending champion West Texas A&M according to the league's annual pre-season poll.

The Bronchos have six starters back from last year's 15-6 team that

was runner-up to WTAMU in both the regular season standings and LSC Post-season Tournament.

UCO won the LSC crown in 2000 en route to advancing to the NCAA Division II quarterfinals.

UCO opens the 2002 season at Southern Colorado on August 30.

Home season begins September 6.

Sucks."

by Danny Peters

I

t's no secret that many people in many countries hate the United States. To them we are an ignorant, fat, wealthy bunch of jerks. And for the most part, I agree.

While I do believe that this country is the greatest, I think we're on the wrong track and have been for a long time.

Most of our citizens are ignorant of foreign matters.

Come to think of it, they're ignorant of domestic matters too.

Either way they don't have the knowledge they need in order to participate in the global society.

They live with the idea that what goes on outside of the U.S. is of little or no concern to them.

This is a common complaint of foreigners about our citizens.

Of course, I have a solution.

It's probably not original. I'm sure others have thought of this before. I think some countries "..e already do this.

I think the United States should require 1 or 2 years of service for each high school student. The service could be civil or military and would take place in another country. It would be considered part of high school and would be necessary to graduate. In order to squeeze the extra year or two into the "graduate by age 18" scheme, we would revert to a year-round school plan (which should have been done decades ago).

How would this period of service help? It would teach our citizens and future leaders much about life other than their own.

They would see that there are -' other cultures besides the entertained-throwaway culture.

They would learn more about world issues and become more tolerant toward things that are different from what they are used to.

- It would also breed patriotism while at the same time helping to ease the jingoist attitudes that many of our citizens have.

What better way to get people involved in foreign as well as

THEVISTA

domestic matters than to involve them directly?

The main obstacle in this would be the language barrier.

Whether or not we ever pursue this endeavor, I also advocate a mandate that every student in the U.S. learn two foreign languages.

Learning another language teaches you to see things in a different perspective and helps you get a better grasp on your own language. Other countries already enforce this. They can't possibly be worse off for it. And it would help end this stupid conversation that I have had a hundred times: "I hate it when I'm standing in line and those damned foreigners are yapping away in that other language."

"Why? If you went to France would you talk to other Americans in French?"

"That's different! I don't live there. If they're gonna live here they need to learn the language, bygod!"

"So if you and your wife move to Italy, you'll always talk to each other in Italian?"

Eventually you find out that the real reason they don't like people speaking in other languages is that they're afraid the foreigners might be talking about them.

Wouldn't that be just awful?

That type of paranoia falls under "self-centered," another term used by foreigners when describing us.

The world is too small and the nukes too plentiful to continue with our current snobbish attitudes.

As for the year-round school plan, it makes total sense. The only reason we have the current 9-month school year is because parents used to need their kids to help harvest in the summer months. This is no longer necessary. To take a kid out of the learning process for 1/4 of every year is completely stupid.

A year-round plan could still be broken up by several 2-week vacations to allow for family trips and summer camps.

I'll go so far as to say that if these things were all in practice, there is a better chance that the 9-11 incident wouldn't have happened.

Visit www.thevistaonline.com to read messages from people telling me that learning a language wouldn't stop religious zealots from flying passenger jets into skyscrapers.
