CO issued Commons residents with valid parking permits a refund check, but did not issue any reimbursement to dorm residents. Some students are unhappy about the decision. "Because of the inconvenience resulting from the construction of the Commons II Project, all students currently residing in Commons I with a valid UCO parking permits shall receive a [$25] check refund," said President Roger Webb in a memorandum issued to residents of the

Commons on Feb. 16. Plans to issue the refund checks came after a process of steps by administration to address parking issues, and Webb made the final decision to make an adjustment fee for Commons residents, said Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of university relations. "We could never do construction without some inconveniences," Webb said. "At the same time, it's the price you pay for improvement." Jennifer Woods, a West Hall resident, said, "This reduction was not issued to West and Murdaugh residents who must use the same parking lots as the Commons [and] who pay the

OPINION & EDITORIAL WHAT DO YOU THINK UCO SHOULD DO TO COMPENSATE STUDENTS FOR PARKING PROBLEMS?

very resident of the Commons I Apartments will soon get a check from UCO for $25 to compensate for the construction being done on "their" parking lots. Residents of West, East, and Murdaugh Halls — who compete for the exact same parking spaces — will receive nothing. It's frustrating enough for dorm residents to drive around the parking lot for hours trying to find a spot. It will be even more fun now, considering the fact

What doesn't make sense is what they that the apartment residents who beat us to those last empty spaces are probably did decide to do. Distributing the returning from spending their $25 at the available money across the board to all campus residents — be it a few dollars a mall. Road rage is enough of a problem these piece — would obviously be a more days without UCO administrators making reasonable compensation than giving it a decision like this. Inflicting this degree all to a random group. Residents of the dorms have good of temptation on students is just wrong. The administration says that UCO reason to be mad. Twenty-five dollars doesn't have enough money to issue may not mean a lot to those in charge, refunds to all campus residents. This but it means a heck of a lot to a college student. • makes sense.

Credit card companies not all bad; buy wisely

he last thing I ever thought I needed to do was to defend the credit card companies, but the credit card slamming in the Feb. 15 issue of The Vista is a typical case of blame shifting. Among all of the tales of woe concerning credit card debt is lost the simple act of selfresponsibility. Credit card debt is no more caused by credit cards as car accidents are caused by cars. It's the users! Used properly, credit cards provide wise money management, access, security and protection. Using a credit card for purchases provides a detailed monthly record of spending, which can show spending habits and trends. See a sale offer of something you've needed? Buy it! Save money — many cards offer money back on

off your card at the end of the month. Many don't know this, but credit card companies don't pay off purchases to vendors for up to 90 days. Many also don't know that in that time, depending on the charge, a customer can contest a purchase. Get cheated on a service? Call your credit card company and put the charge in contest. This gives you time to reconcile the problem with the vendor. Further, many credit card companies offer their own insurance against fraudulent vendors and even unhappy purchases. So what's the trick? Don't spend more than you can pay off at the end of the month. Simple concept, isn't it? Exceptions do exist. Are you caught in Gotebo, Oklahoma with a purchases! Save more money — pay blown water pump in your car? You're

protected. Family member ill and you have to fly home? You're there. Emergencies happen and may require money. Having a source of cash provides a great deal of security. Credit card companies aren't saintly. They do all they can to get you to boost your spending and pay the minimum. The truth is, they can't! Only you have control over your cash. Nevertheless, used wisely, credit cards can help, not hurt. The students are adults that need to make adult decisions and take adult responsibility. Don't blame credit cards for your lack of spending control. Take control of your own

Peace Corps marks 40th anniversary

POLICE BRIEFS Larceny

Staff Writer

ctober 14, 1960, Presidential candidate John F. Kennedy stood on the steps of the University of Michigan's Student Union and challenged the 10,000 students present to volunteer their skills overseas. Less than five months later, the Peace Corps was formed and the first volunteers left for Africa that summer. The Peace Corps is celebrating its milestone 40th anniversary. The celebration began in October 2000 and will continue on until September of this year. Volunteers who have returned to the United States will celebrate a special Peace Corps Day honoring the agency's 40th anniversary on March 1 by sharing their overseas experiences with their communities, mainly in classrooms.

Paige Hill graduated from Oklahoma City University (OCU) in 2000, with a bachelor of science in biology. She will leave with the Peace Corps for the Philippines on March 22. "As I was finishing up my senior year, I was having trouble deciding what to do after graduation. My major professor, Dr. Paul Stone, threw the Peace Corps out as a suggestion and it stuck. It took me almost six months to decide I would apply, but I finally did," Hill said. Hill won't know what specific project she will be assigned until she's been in the country for one week. Her program is described as Marine Conservation/Environmental Education, and more specifically, Coastal Resource Management and Community Island Development. The Peace Corps is trying to help people in the Philippines sustain their natural resources

and maintain their livelihoods. Over the last 40 years, 980 men and women from Oklahoma have volunteered for the Peace Corps. 405 of them came from Oklahoma State University (OSU). OSU is second in the region for Peace Corps volunteers. OCU has 64 returned volunteers. UCO currently has three volunteers in the field. Since March 1, 1961, UCO has had 64 alumni in the Peace Corps. On March 1 and 2 and April 19 and 20, there will be an information table, along with a recruiter for the Peace Corps at the University of Oklahoma Student Center. For more information, visit www.peacecorps.gov , or call the Dallas branch of the Peace Corps at (214) 767-5435. Have you ever thought of joining the Peace Corps? Are you a returned volunteer?

Men's basketball falls to WTAMU

Sports Writer

UCO men's basketball, in the first round of the Lone Star Conference Tournament, lost to West Texas A&M (WTAMU), 87-79, in Canyon, Texas Tuesday, Feb. 27. The Bronchos, ending the season 16-11, fell to the Buffs of West Texas for the second time in three years. WTAMU, improving to 20-7 on the year, advances to the tournament semifinals on Friday at a still unknown site. UCO hit just 1-of-9 3-pointers in the first half, fell behind early, and never fully recovered. "It's a big disappointment and a tough, tough loss," UCO coach Jim Seward said. "We were lethargic and didn't play the game like we practiced earlier in the day and that's hard to understand and tough to take." Dawson scored 24 points in the final 20 minutes in finishing with his NCAA Division II-leading average. Jason Pritchett came on to continue his late-season surge with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Lennox McCoy ended with 10 points, while Keith Felton finished th 8 including a 12-foot jumper in the first half. —Ryan Ross

CO track and field teams completed the indoor season Thursday, Feb. 22 at the Oklahoma Christian Invitational. "I was really happy with the way the kids competed today," UCO coach Paul Parent said. "This indoor season was a success for us. We improved every week in many areas and should be ready for the outdoor season." UCO women's track was lead by Romy Krueger of Germany. Krueger, victorious in the mile relay with a time of 5:05.28, will compete in the 800-meter run at the national meet in March. UCO's Delisa McClain threw for 47-feet 7-inches to take first in the weight throw. McClain achieved third in the shot put, behind teammate Sarah Winters, whose distance of 40-feet 4 3/4inches claimed runner-up. The Bronchos got runner-up finishes from Becky Harvey in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 20:52.94 and Denietra Miller in the 55-meter dash and the long jump. Miller had a time of 7.41 in the 55-meter and 17-feet 9 1/2inches in the long jump.

UCO's Army ROTC to kick off annual Military Ball Saturday

Dinner, auction planned

Kaplan's GMAT prep course features great resources for practice and review. A higher score can lead to a higher salary out of a top business school. Sign up with Kaplan today.

Staff Writer

CO's Army ROTC is getting ready to kick off its annual Military Ball this Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Weston Inn in downtown OKC, with roughly 100 people expected to attend. The party is put together solely by the cadets in the program, who not only plan for fun, but also learn along the way. "We're teaching military history, etiquette, customs and courtesy all in a formal setting," said Major Eric Bernstein, assistant professor of military science. "They learn how to plan and conduct these balls from coordinating the ballroom, food, invites and even fund raising." The ball usually costs about $4,000, which includes a DJ, renting the ballroom, food, pictures and a memento. The DJ this year is Dean St. Onge and the memento is a flute drinking glass with the Army ROTC logo of a broncho and the ROTC colors of gold and black. All ROTC members will be in uniform, with a semi-formal dress for all guests. The ball starts off with a loose gathering to be followed by the receiving line, a formal way to introduce everyone to each other. After the receiving line, everyone will go to his or her assigned seats. "There will be a head table where very important persons will

sit," Bernstein said. The tables will include one cadre (military faculty) member, one guest and one or two cadets. "No business is allowed," Bernstein said. "We don't talk shop at the balls." This year's guest speaker will be Command Sergeant Major John Harrell from Ft. Sill, Okla. "The guest speaker usually gives a brief speech about what each cadet can expect from the military

and so on," Bernstein said. The senior cadets will then walk down and be introduced to everyone. After this is the closing ceremony followed by dancing in the ballroom. "We got the Junior ROTC from Guthrie to come and perform the flag detail," said Bernstein. "We're paying them with food." This ball is not only for fun, but according to Bernstein is a long line of military tradition. â&#x20AC;˘

Capitol restoration recognized

CO students and faculty were recognized for the second time on Feb. 13 at the state capitol for their efforts to redecorate the House of Representatives' legislative chamber. Two years ago, UCO art students under the direction of Dr. Bob Palmer, art and design chairman, repainted the House chamber's ceiling, reaching heights of more than four stories above the house floor. Palmer, along with students Judith Bryan, Paula Ackerman, James Carter, Megan Palmer, Chris Wood and Debra Luber completed the project within six months. Tom Simomton, UCO art lecturer and

Don Hunt, UCO alumni also helped in the redecorating. The students and faculty were honored individually by the state legislators for their work to preserve and restore the House. The students and faculty had been previously recognized as a group in February 2000. Palmer said there were 81 medallions that lined the ceiling, each taking two days to paint. Artists had to paint the entire ceiling with half-inch wide brushes. "I was very honored that they had us back to again recognize our work," Palmer said. •

pproximately 300 Muslim UCO students will join Islam followers worldwide in celebrating the festival Eid-ul-Adhia beginning March 6. Eid-ul-Adhia marks the close of the Hajj ceremony, the pilgrimage to Mecca. The day is observed to celebrate the safe return of the travelers. "[We] make the pilgrimage to fulfill one of the pillars of Islam," Mohammed said. A Muslim is required to perform the journey at least once, provided the cost of it can be afforded and the person is not indebted to anyone. Sacrifices of animals occur in remembrance of the sacrifice of the prophet Abraham. The chosen animal is required to be fully-grown and free from any physical defects. The sacrifice of animals symbolizes a Muslim declaring his readiness to give his life and his possessions for the sake of God. The animal sacrificed represents the animal in man. Muslims assemble in the mosques in their towns for the Eid Prayer Service. Breakfast is generally not served; those who offer a sacrifice eat nothing until the animal has been sacrificed. Following the prayer, a sermon is delivered. Muslim worshippers then return home, singing the praise of the Almighty Allah. Remainders of the animal are distributed among family, friends, neighbors and the poor. Although no activities on-campus are planned, the Masjid al-Salam mosque on 525 North University Dr. will be observing the time. "The mosque is for the needs of the campus," said Abid, who leads prayers and educates others about Islam. •

ROCK-U goals 'perplexing,' professor says recent article in The Vista (Feb 15, with corrections Feb 22) heralded the arrival of a new campus organization that promises to "rock" UCO with an invigorated proselytism. I guess there can never be too much effort put into saving people's souls. However, I found some underlying assumptions in this write-up a bit perplexing. The article begins with an ad vericundiam argument (an appeal to authority), based on Timothy 2:4, that "it is God's will that all be saved and come unto full knowledge of Christ." Actually, as stated, the quote is a conflation of verses 4 and 5. Timothy 2:4 actually says that God "desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth." Furthermore, while it is natural to assume that the "truth" (or aletheia) alluded to in verse 4 has something to do with Jesus, verse 5 clearly describes Jesus a the "mediator"

PAGE 15

(mesites) of this truth. The truth itself is what brings salvation; the mediator points the way. This blurring of the message and the messenger is an oversimplification that does not reflect the complexity of the actual Greek text. Another of the stated goals of this new organization is to foster "a Biblical model of a Paul and Timothy relationship." I'm not sure what this means. While there are many admirable notions in the epistles, I hope that UCO will be spared some of the more flagrantly Hellenistic admonitions in these texts. We have to remember that the DeuteroPauline Epistles and the Pastoral Letters betray the successful synthesis of Christianity with the more chauvinistic aspects of Greek society. For example, 1 Timothy 2:11 specifies that women "learn in silence with all submission" (I would hate for my female

students to take this literally!). The following verse prohibits women from teaching or having any authority over men; in fact, Timothy simply recommends that women live "in silence." The world has changed quite a bit since these epistles were written, and — as is the case with all "Biblical principles and teachings" — we must amend and adapt them with a sensitivity to the betterment of the human condition. Like the Sabbath, the text was invented for man, not man for the text. Best of wishes to the students of ROCK-U, and to students of all faiths and intellectual dispositions. Remember that the road to truth and understanding — as Jesus so eloquently embodied himself — is paved with a desire to question tradition and authority. Dr. Stephen C. Law, professor of humanities and philosophy

Broadcasting students honored

CO Broadcasting Department students displayed their talent on Feb. 17, winning eight first place and 16 second and third place awards at the annual Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association's (OBEA) awards banquet in Tulsa. Sponsored and judged by the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters, 17 Oklahoma colleges and universities submitted works for the competition. Students participated in broadcasting seminars and workshops at the event, as well. During the ceremony, UCO was awarded twice the number of first place awards than any other school. Taking first place honors for UCO in the TV newscast category were Melissa Oakley, Zach Anderson, Tom Wachs and Rusty Duncan. All are members of the university's nightly newscast "The Edmond Report." Derek Burleson and Duncan were awarded first place in the TV sports category, Jason Goodwin received top honors in the TV feature story category and Justin Earley was named best for his

"It's gratifying to see the students' hard work recognized in front of their peers." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dr. Keith Swezey assistant professor of broadcasting

submission in the TV hard news story category. Other UCO first place winners are Jared Broyles, Dawn Haygood and Caleb Taulbee for TV magazine; Goodwin for radio series; Jennifer Wagner for radio commercial; and Crystal Clements, Kasey Jones, Greg Kiner, Carolyn Norman, Derek Parker, Sheradee Scott, Kevin Sharp and Kirk West for radio entertainment. Second place winners from UCO and their categories are Nancy Skaarer, Earley, Burleson and Chris Bryan for the "The Edmond Report," TV newscast; Kyle Barker, TV sports; Caleb Taulbee, TV promotion; Matt Hester, TV photography; Barker,

radio series; and Ian Clarke, Toni Howard, Elizabeth Pressler, Tracie Robinson and Kristen Wasemiller, radio entertainment. UCO students also received numerous third place honors: "It's gratifying to see the students' hard work recognized in front of their peers," said Dr. Keith Swezey, UCO assistant professor of broadcasting. "Most of these awards represent hours of work beyond what was required for class projects." The university's winning tradition at this competition is evidenced by its alumni presence on the professional level. "UCO is well represented in the professional broadcasting field throughout the state and nation," Swezey said. Swezey said it also is commonplace for current students to be hired before they graduate. "Employers that may not know our students individually usually are aware of the high-quality program from which they are attending," he said. â&#x20AC;˘

ARCH 2 IN THEATRES EVERYWHERE

Ross makes friends with the stars

I walked -through the Vista offices last Friday when I happened to run into Rhonda Bowden, the go-to gal for student publications. "How was the concert?" she asked, referring to the previous evening's performance by Fastball. I proceeded to run my mouth about how great the show was, blah, blah, blah, and, oh, yeah, I got to hang out with the band. An eyebrow jumped up. "So you've got material for the column, then?" Yes, I sure did. I spent the better part of Thursday unloading sound equipment, shooting the breeze with roadies and a lighting rigger who had a mullet that wouldn't quit. After my crew and I carried what seemed to be an endless parade of sticker-emblazoned anvil cases (noun: a heavy-duty case for transporting musical instruments and equipment; you can drop a Mack truck on `em and your gear will be fine), my friend Derek and I were asked to go get the band from the hotel. We didn't hesitate to run this errand; after all, it's not every day you can say you've had a bona fide rock and roll band in your car? After meeting the band and transporting them back to the University Center, we continued with our preparations. I figured my day had just been made. I got to drive the guitarist and stop in at the second floor convenience store while he bought shampoo! YeeHAW! I then was notified that I would be taking the band to dinner. So I find myself standing behind the UC with Tony Scalzo, Joey Shuffield, and Miles Zuniga, debating the merits of Edmond dining, when it dawns on me that I am the biggest geek ever. I was eight shades of flipped out by the

notion that I was now going to dine with guys who I'd been listening to on the radio. As we drove down Broadway, I found discussing the merits of Rod Stewart, Flaming Lips, and Chainsaw Kittens (of whom the band were all fans). The majority of the conversations went something like this: MILES: "Hey, do the Flaming Lips still live here?" ME: "Yep." TONY: "So, do you guys hear a lot of Christina Aguilara down here, too?" ME: "Yeah." ME: "Hey, Joey, d'you have enough leg room?" JOEY: "Yep." So that was my big dinner adventure in a nutshell. Later, after the show, Zach and I went out to the bus to try and procure autographs. We were met at the door by Miles, who welcomed us on board. I had done it, I thought. made friends with rock stars. It was kind of surreal, in all honesty. We sat around on the bus listening to The Faces and Ryan Adams while Tony sang along with the stereo. Miles cracked jokes about me being a stick in the mud when I hinted at needing to help the crew finish loading equipment. Joey signed autographs. I guess you could say I was excited. BLAH BLAH BLAH: I don't know if you can email me or not, since UCOMaiI doesn't seem to be working right now. You can contact me c/o The Vista, 100 N. University, Edmond, OK, 73034. There's also a message board on the website (www.thevistaonline.com ), but if you're going to post, please include an e-mail address so I can respond. Besides, anonymous griping is cowardice, kids!
