Budget shortfall has UCO cutting cost BY STEPHANIE NEASE
Staff Writer
In his memo, Kreidler budget cuts would be implemented announced a purchasing freeze for for state agencies.
the remainder of fiscal year 2002, In a memo dated May 16, Steve which ends June 30. Kreidler's memo asked that all Kreidler, vice president of administration at UCO, advised university credit cards issued to faculty that the university's departments be returned to the available funds for May and June department's vice president. had been reduced by 16.6 percent. Essential purchases would have to This latest cut required UCO's be approved by that vice president. He also warned that purchases or budget office to trim an additional $1.1 million from the year's budget commitments made for purchases in the remaining 6 weeks of fiscal not in accordance with this policy would result in disciplinary action. year 2002, Kreidler said. In a May 14 press release from Dr. Robert Epstein, business professor and director of Shawn Ashley, public information purchasing at UCO, said that officer for the Office of State because of the time constraints, - Finance (OSF), Allison Fraser, this last cut amounted to a 25 deputy director of the OSF had percent cut in an already tight announced that because of insufficient revenues, double-digit budget.
According to Fraser,, revenue projections predicted that the budget crunch that began in January would improve in April, typically the state's biggest collection month of the year. However, revenues from the gross production tax on natural gas and the state income tax failed to meet expectations, requiring further cuts for fiscal year 2002, Fraser said. This reduction is in addition to the cuts made in January and March that already had reduced UCO's available funds by $759,000. Epstein said the purchasing freeze is meant to save what money
is left in the departments' accounts from being spent on unnecessary items. He said the policy used to be that departments would lose any funds left in their accounts at the end of the fiscal year if it wasn't spent, so the departments would use it to stock up on what they thought they might need in the next year. "There are people with typewriter ribbons sitting in their supply cabinets," Epstein said. Dr. Charles Cooper, assistant professor and chairman of the math and statistics department, said the math department has three boxes of paper left to get them through until July 1.

The letter requests more money for financial aid programs, saying, "Simple demographics indicate that undergraduate enrollment will increase 14

Summer at The Vista "They need more animals."
"I think there's one missing."
—BILLY' HUGGINS sophomore history major
—JOHN GATEWOOD senior graphic arts major
Sleeveless shirts and Bermuda shorts, sweaty foreheads and Cherry Limeades, scorching temperatures and summer classes. This is summer and The Vista is back. And what about the news? We are faced with budget cuts, again. We lost a professor in a traffic accident a month ago. We have an independent film festival happening right here on campus. We have the Jazz Lab right around the corner serving up music from local and nonlocal bands. Judging from the size of the summer
classes we are attending, plenty of students decided that vacation is overrated — including nearly all The Vista staff. So before we start using this editorial space to take a stand on some issues, we'd like to remind all students working on jobs or classes that a few experiences will do a lot of good. Go play some ball, check out some concerts (Britney Spears, anyone?), stroll to the park, dive in the swimming pool or the closest ditch after a storm, read a novel, go ghost town hunting, drive to Canada, listen
to Arlo Guthrie's Motorcyle Song then finish with a bit of Ween, watch Eating Raoul then watch half of Pink Flamingos, play the same three chords over and over and try to learn the juice harp, walk, climb, a tree, but try not to get stuck, drink a bottle of wine or two, drive to Corn, Oklahoma then to Tia Juana. At the very least, go visit the geese by the Broncho Lake. They can show us a thing or two about taking it easy once in a while. Welcome back, everyone.

GEESE: Urban area gives geese home away from predators continued from page 1 "They like to crap pretty much everywhere. I shouldn't have to watch sidewalks to avoid the geese and their crap." Houghton said that he had seen similar problems with geese at a golf course where he worked. Every year the employees had to find new ways to run off the geese to prevent turf damage and unpleasant odors, he said. Physical Plant Director Robert Nall said that he hasn't had any complaints about the Broncho Lake Geese. "Where there are geese they will leave behind droppings, but with the size of the flock there aren't any real issues, just maybe an occasional nuisance," Nall said. Houghton said that while the geese may not be a major problem this year, if the family returned next year there could be trouble for
the campus. "That's what people don't get. It's not going to be just two geese attacking people and pooping on the sidewalk. If they all come back next year there will be eight of them doing this," Houghton said. Art History sophomore Talicia Robinson said she hopes the geese do decide to make Broncho Lake their home again. "The baby geese are growing very fast. They will make a good addition to the UCO campus when they come back next year," Robinson said. Dave Lindo, assistant Naturalist at Martin Nature Park in Oklahoma City, said that being farther from other animals may be what makes the campus appealing to the geese. "College campuses, malls and golf courses have fewer predators ,
that will eat (the goose's) eggs." Lindo said that geese are at their most aggressive when they are protecting their young. The goslings usually remain with their parents until the spring when they go off on their own, he said. Lindo said that while he has had some phone calls regarding geese living in urban areas, he feels the geese pose no threat either to themselves or to the people around them. Lindo said that many people will go to great lengths to bring nature closer to them-, and UCO was lucky enough to have wild geese who came here on their own. "It's neat to have them around in places like UCO where you wouldn't normally see them," he said.

Budget: Department supplies low; 2% budget shortage expected in 2003 continued from page 1 Dr. Joan Luxenburg, professor and sociology and criminal justice department chair, said her department has only one ream of paper left. "After this, I will always plan ahead," she said. All the departments of the College of Liberal Arts are considering pooling supplies to try to make it through this crunch, Luxenburg said. Blake Frye, director of campus life, said that student programs were not affected by the purchasing freeze, as their funds came from student activity fees and not the state. But he said, "We won't be running out and buying paper clips until June is over." A 7-9 percent tuition increase approved for fiscal year 2003 is expected to generate $18 million in extra revenue for the state system, according to a press release from Oklahoma State Remits for Higher Education dated May 24. According to the OSF press release, Fraser said, "We will not borrow money from the Rainy Day Fund in June, since there will be no way for us to pay it back before the end of the fiscal year, which concludes at the end of that month." However, according to a legislative update issued by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, the Oklahoma legislature approved an additional withdrawal of Rainy Day Funds in the amount of $268.5 million on May 31. Ashley said that of the $268.5 million, S44.8 million went to the regents for higher education — $41.3 million in general use funds for colleges and universities, and $3.5 million for the operation of the Tulsa campuses of the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. Charlie Johnson, news bureau director with the office of university relations, said UCO's budget office
was told to expect to have a budget shortage of 2 percent for fiscal year 2003. According to the legislative update, the budget deficit for higher education for fiscal year 2003 should be "1.5 percent or lower." However, Ashley said that the final determination for each university would be up to the regents. He said that Rep. Leonard Sullivan had been "pounding the drum" about the regents' alleged unfair treatment of UCO. Johnson cited reports that show the regents use an apparently disproportionate budgeting scale,

resulting in increasingly reduced funding to UCO. According to the meeting calendar posted on their website, the board of regents for Oklahoma colleges is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. June 20 and 21, in the Heritage Room at Nigh University Center, to consider the 2003 budget and other issues. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education will meet at noon June 27, at the Regents Conference Room, 655 Research Parkway, Suite 200 in Oklahoma City. In accordance with the Oklahoma's Open Meeting Act, both meetings are open to the public.

AAUP: Increase in finanical aid and distance learning top priorities continued from page 1
It also requests Congress's help in funding non-commercial academic research. Though the four professors will spend four days in Washington D.C., Guild said he expects little or no time for sightseeing. The UCO AAUP chapter received the organization's $1,000 Konheim award for their furthering of academic principals. Guild said Heit, Mayfield and Carrell will pay their own way, with some help from grants and money from the Konheim award. Smith said the organization will also focus on lobbying the Teach Act, which would among other things ease the use of copyrighted material in distance education. "This bill would set up some very carefully regulated rules to allow that. It wouldn't simply be putting a movie on the web for anyone to look at it," Smith said. Smith said the AAUP pushed the bill and it passed through the senate on last year's Capitol Hill Day. However, the bill is currently hung up in a judiciary committee. During the convention, Guild will serve as vice chair of Assembly of State Conferences (ASC.) The ASC is a part of the AAUP responsible for giving grants and scholarships to different states conferences for them to divide between their chapters. At the conclusion of the annual meeting, Guild will become chair of the ASC and will be the first Oklahoman to hold the position. According to an official position paper from June 2002, AAUP members have other concerns

pertaining to copyright law. In 1998, The House of Representatives passed the "Collections of Information and Antipiracy Act," which would have given information collected in databases copyright protection, twice. Both times the bill was rejected by The Senate. The AAUP said in the position paper if such an amendment were to eventually pass, it would impair researchers' access to currently available information. In the last few. years, the AAUP has been particularly concerned with issues surrounding distance education, Guild said. He said in many cases students are left with a handful of web resources and little or no instruction from teachers. Guild said he knew of one
instance where an instructor had died and the college he'd worked at was still enrolling students in his web class and using his curriculum. "We're trying to make sure there are a certain number of mediated hours. We don't want students stuck staring at a screen with little or no direction from an instructor." The AAUP was founded in 1915 by educators John Dewey and Arthur Lovejoy and has more than 46,000 members with recognized chapters in 39 states.

UCO pitcher signs on with Angels BY KELLEY CHAMBERS
Sports Editor nthony Reed began playing baseball in the eighth grade not knowing that he would someday be one of the most sought after free agents in baseball. Now in just two short weeks the former UCO pitcher has become a member of the sporting elite by signing a contract to play for the Anaheim Angels after being courted by more than half a dozen clubs including the New York Yankees and World Series champs the Arizona Diamondbacks. Reed, a 22-year-old Lawton native, was a fifth-year senior which enabled him to dodge the draft and pitch his services to major league ball clubs as a free agent. . His command of the mound and notorious fastball were met with a lucrative though undisclosed cash bonus that finally sealed his commitment with Anaheim. Reed said that he was ultimately going to go with the team that offered him the most money. He signed the contract

The team finished the season 46-10 and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs for the second year in a row for a chance at the college World Series. Unfortunately they were defeated before a championship could become a reality which subsequently brought Reed's college pitching career to a sterling finish and opened the door to the big leagues. Reed said that so far training camp is going well and has consisted of a six-hour daily routine of weights, running and drills meant to hone his pitching skills. He is anxious to get out of camp and begin playing but is making the best out of his training and instructional period. He will be set to face some stiff competition against the 21 pitchers on the Angels roster before ever taking the mound at

including power hitters Bryan Coy and Justin Carroll. If those players do not make the draft they would be eligible to follow in the footsteps of former teammate Reed and become free agents. As he sat in the press box on a hot afternoon late in May watching the next generation of baseball hopefuls go through drills and instruction on the diamond, Coach Simmons took a moment to reflect
Reed Headed for The Big Leagues Continued from page 6 But he has been told that the Angels would like to have him in their lineup within two years though he believes that with hard work he will find his place on the team sooner than that. Coach Simmons said that he has had a handful of players go on to play in the pros over the course of his coaching career but in financial terms that Reed was the biggest sign to date. Simmons also has a few players that he hopes will make the major league draft this year

on his starpitcher. He said that Reed would be missed. "He's been a great closer, he's done a heck of a job and came out and had a great year, but now he has the opportunity to make good money with a professional organization." The Angels stated that it is unlikely that Reed would take the mound in Anaheim this season though hopefully he will be called up to display his skill and gusto on the mound for the 2003 regular season and beyond. So in a whirlwind of events including major league contracts, big money and a bit of uncertainty Reed remains
humble saying, "I don't think that I'm as good as everyone thinks I am." He offers two simple words of advice to major league hopefuls everywhere, saying simply, "work hard." Apparently many teams do feel that Reed is not just good but great and see in him a bright and prosperous future. So for now Reed will just continue doing what he does best and wait patiently for the big call when he will get his shot to debut in the major leagues.

UCO host deadCENTER independent film festival BY MICHAEL ROBERTSON
Staff Writer In places where there is a bare minimum of opportunities for a career artist of any kind, sometimes artists have to create their own. With nowhere to show his work to people, and not much hope of finding a steady job in his field, Justan Floyd, a filmmaker in Oklahoma City, decided to create a film festival. The deadCENTER Film Festival will be held June 7 and 8 at UCO. The festival will include independently produced films both long and short by filmmakers from Oklahoma, the United States and abroad. Floyd said that he wants the festival to be a global event, to draw attention to Oklahoma as a viable place to make films. "I know so many talented people who have left Oklahoma for more money, or steadier jobs, and I don't want to do that," Floyd said. "I want to help Oklahoma have a respected film community." Justan's brother, Jayson Floyd, stepped in as the executive director
last year. "I got online and invited people, and pretty soon we had more films than we could use," Jayson said. Despite inadequate seating at last year's venue, the Floyds say that the festival exceeded their greatest expectations. They started planning for this year's festival almost immediately. When he was looking for a venue, Jayson contacted Dr. John Springer, director of the UCO Film Studies department. Springer said he immediately saw it as a wonderful opportunity. "We're really happy to be hosting it." Springer said that the event will be a good opportunity for emerging talent, including some of his students. "A lot of the students are most excited about getting to meet the people who make the films," Springer said. He said that he would like to see the festival become a yearly event at UCO. He said he hopes that it will help his program by giving his students access to viewpoints about
the industry that they may not get to see otherwise. Springer is teaching a summer workshop titled Film Festivals, where students earn a credit hour by working at the festival. The enrollment for the class was filled within a few weeks, providing the festival with twenty-five student workers. Oklahoma films will represent more than nine hours of the fiftytwo hours of scheduled films. Brian Sabolich, a native Oklahoman who studied film in New York and Los Angeles before coming back to Oklahoma, has a film nominated for the festival's Best Oklahoma Film award. Sabolich said that Nightshade Passing was filmed in Oklahoma, and the vast majority of the crew and actors were from here. Sabolich said that Oklahoma is a much more accommodating place to make films, based on his experiences in New York and Los Angeles. "In Oklahoma, you can make movies cheap, have fun, and people help you," Sabolich said. "If you try to make a movie in
L.A., people want to charge you fifty dollars to use their lawn. Here, they're more likely to ask if you want some lemonade." His film is set in the past, and Sabolich said that shooting in Oklahoma helped him find the open countryside and natural scenery he needed to make his project feel more authentic. A portion of the festival proceeds will go toward an emergency fund for consumers of the Oklahoma chapter of the National PHOTO BY WOLFGANG WYKEFF Alliance for the Mentally Ill DeadCenter film festival.

Students, faculty and friends remember Dr. Tamera Long BY STEPHANIE NEASE
Staff Writer

n the afternoon of May 9, Dr. Tamara Long, UCO assistant professor of music, was killed in a single-car accident on Interstate 35 near Guthrie. In 1988 Dr. Cliff Warren brought Long to UCO to develop the music theater degree. Bob Windsor, veteran theater performer and dance instructor, said he first saw Long in Gene Stockwell's dance class in 1956, and was awed by her intense selfdiscipline. "She was very private and quiet, even at age 13," he said. "It was because she knew what she was going to do even back then." "She was so focused she became an example for me," he said. "She would say 'I don't want you to interrupt me. I'm trying to focus and prepare.'" Windsor choreographed and helped direct a production of "Finnian's Rainbow" as a student teacher at old Classen High School. Long, a high school freshman, was cast in the lead. It was the first musical she ever did. Under the tutelage of John Holt, the voice instructor at Classen High, "Tamara became a singer," Windsor said. Kay Creed, assistant professor of music at UCO, said she met Long in 1960 at the Miss Oklahoma pageant.
"Tamara was Miss Oklahoma City and I was Miss Enid," she said. The friendship lasted over 40 years. "I called her my best friend," Creed said. "We babysat each other's children. Her girls called us Uncle Carveth and Aunt Kay." At Oklahoma City University, Long and Creed were in their first show together, the operetta "The Red Mill," she said. "That's where I first met Kay and Tamara," said Creed's husband, Carveth Osterhaus, UCO assistant professor of music. Idea Handel, a theater enthusiast, saw Long, Creed, and Osterhaus in a production at OCU, and asked them to help her form a regional theater group, Osterhaus said. With the help of John Kirkpatrick, Lyric Theatre was established, he said Carveth Windsor said, "In 1963, called me and told me about the Lyric." Windsor joined them in Lyric"s first season ensemble. "The first production was "Oklahoma!" with Tamara as Ado Annie," Windsor said. "I was "Dream Curly."" In 1964, Long graduated from OCU and moved to New York, where she was cast in the part of Aldonza in a national tour of "Man of La Mancha," Windsor said. "Aldonza — She was that part," he said. "After she did it, nobody
else would ever be as good." In 1968, she was Mona Kent in the original off-Broadway cast of "Dames at Sea," which also starred 17-year-old Bernadette Peters. Long's 30-year theater career included a Broadway run and tour as Dorothy in the original cast of "Lorelei" with Carol Channing. Even during the fast-paced theater years, she and Long remained close, Creed said. "I got (Carveth) a Honda ... when we were , in Maine and Tamara was in New York." Long had never been on a motorcycle before, Creed said, but, "She bought a Honda and rode it to Maine." Osterhaus said, "She drove it through the Manhattan traffic. She did things her own way — but she did them." "And her laugh — she really cackled if she found something funny," Creed said. Lexi Windsor, a UCO music theater student, and daughter of Bob Windsor, said that Long gave her confidence that she could have a career: "She said, "Lexi, you can do this!"" "When she gave a compliment you kneiv she really meant it. She was a mentor," she said. In interviewing class, she said that Long acted out the part of a tough New York agent, and videotaped the students" responses. Then they sat and laughed at the sheepish looks on their faces when

confronted with her New York curtness. Long planned to give "belting" seminars around the country, and have some of her students travel with her to demonstrate the techniques, Lexi said. "That was something I was really looking forward to," she said. Joe DiBello, one of Long"s former students who is living in New York and working on his first movie said, "What I got most from Tamara was her experience — she was a well-seasoned performer." "If you haven"t been in New York and experienced the real thing and know how to deal with it, then you can"t teach someone else to deal with it." DiBello said his parents were terrified to let him go to New York. "She spent one hour talking to my parents, and set their minds at ease," he said. "Tamara gave me confidence I
didn"t have before I started working with her. She was kind of like a mother to me," he said. "I want to win a Tony and thank her in my speech, tell her everything she means to me. She touched a lot of people. I don"t know if she realized it," he said. Long is survived by her mother, Maurine Long, and twin daughters, Christa and Christan Otterman, 14. A memorial scholarship fund has been established at the UCO foundation to honor Long"s life and achievements, said Niyati Sheth, a pre-med student at UCO who knew Long, and helped establish the fund. "I wanted to do something to comfort her students and friends and co-workers," she said. "A lot of people were driven by her," she said. "She was an extremely motivated, high-energy person."

"This place sucks,"
divorce, rednecks and poverty. Oklahoma is one of only 2 states where tattooing is illegal and the politicians consistently force THEIR morality on the rest of us. Some politicians were recently videotaped gambling in Las Vegas. These same politicians are against the lottery in Oklahoma. They say that gambling preys upon the weak-minded. Indeed. We have a governor that is against the First Amendment. He tried to get Big Brother magazine banned and he tried to cancel a Marilyn Manson concert. Those that don't support the First Amendment do not need to be in positions of power. Oklahoma is now a right-towork state, which means that businesses can more easily hire people at lower wages and without benefits. More jobs for Oklahoma? Yeah, more minimum wage, no-benefit jobs. Is that how we're improving Oklahoma? The powers that be wonder why all our teachers keep moving to Texas. Oklahoma's policy toward teachers can be best shown by Governor Keating's response on how to deal with the teachers' union: "Homicide." It's true. This place sucks.
