Bookstore employees design new university logo T-shirt
I
n an attempt to draw more graduating seniors from the three Edmond high schools, the UCO Bookstore has created a T-shirt depicting President Roger Webb driving a stagecoach carrying the mascots of each of the schools. The shirt also features a drawing of Oklahoma State University's mascot, Pistol Pete, laying on the ground looking broken-down, and a conestoga wagon laying in a ditch with the University of Oklahoma's logo on the side. Book store employees Ben Ngigi and Debra Schneider have been working on this project for
Don't go north. Don't go south. Go to UCO.
T-Shirt Slogan eight years, Schneider said. This logo may also be featured in banners and other media at future recruiting trips to area high schools, Schneider said. Shirts will sell only at the UCO book store. The cost is $17.95 for the public or $14.36 if purchased through a university department. '
klahoma college faculty make an average of $10,000 less than their peers in other states, causing several universities to lose faculty members, and most universities report difficulty in recruiting faculty, according to reports from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. Due to inflation, the Regents say that they will need at least $37.6 million in additional funds just to stay current with last years funding levels. To this end, the Regents requested the state to increase by $215.7 million the Brain Gain 2010 Initiative, which aims to increase the number of college graduates in the state and reduce the amount of college graduates who leave the state. This funding includes faculty and professional staff increases of $4,000 and a support staff increase of $2,500. The requested salary increases would total $50.4 million, which Gov. Frank Keating's aides say he would try to support. "The governor is a friend of higher education, he has signed the highest level of education funding increases in Oklahoma history," said John Cox, press secretary to Gov. Keating. "To retain faculty, we have to be competitive salary wise, and that is certainly a priority...but there are many
issues," Cox said. "It is just too early to say; we have to wait to see what the legislature is going to do," Cox said. The legislature has yet to formally draft legislation on this request for funding, and may prevent it from ever reaching the governor's desk. "The growth money that is left after doing the (grade school) teacher pay raise is only about $250 million, and we have to fund the prison system ... roads that have to be maintained ... it is just not realistic to happen," said Sen. Mark Snyder (R-Edmond). "The reality is, you've got a low income state, which means that the revenue coming into the state is low. "You have to turn that around, or you have to take takes from someone who is already making below that national average, which I won't do," Snyder said. "We have to do things to raise our per capita income. You need a right to work law, decent workers compensation, and a tax structure that encourages people to come to the state." T.

Cummer graduates have a strange time coordinating their 1...) ceremonies. UCO allows summer grads to walk in the May Commencement ceremony. They will not, however, be listed in the spring commencement booklet. Administration officials have given a myriad of reasons for holding the listing of summer graduates, among them time considerations for the printer and the chance a graduate may not finish. The latter is a nonissue. Every name in the book is a pending graduate. Finals are held until May 5 and grades are posted by noon May 9. With the graduation ceremony held in the limbo between tests and grade posting, there is no guarantee that the graduates really are graduates. Administration may have a valid concern about ensuring that those who walk finish their studies. One solution is a separate listing at the end of the spring graduation booklet. This way the summer graduates are not spring graduates but are listed in the booklet from the ceremony in which they took part. All graduates should be allowed a momento from their graduation, not a later ceremony. The momentoes show the importance of the heart. John Lurry /The Vista

Campus Conversations provides future teachers opportunity to interact with international students By Allison Franklin
StaftWititor
H
it the books! To American college students, this phrase means "study." To non-native English speakers, this phrase may be a challenge. By participating in UCO's new Campus Conversations program, international students have been able to translate this phrase and other similar slang phrases and terms. Campus Conversations was developed as a service learning project this spring by Dr. Susan Scott, an assistant professor of professional teacher education,
and Leigh Smith, coordinator of the Academic Support Center. "The purpose of the program is to give future teachers a chance to interact specifically with international students. We are providing a service to nonnative English speakers, and at the same time, we are learning from the service," Scott said. The program, which began Feb. 7 and ends April 6, is funded by a $1,000 service learning grant that Scott received. One hundred twenty-five students in Scott's Foundations of American Education class, composed of sophomores and juniors, are participating in the program. Each student is required to facilitate at least one
group discussion. In designing the program, Scott wanted to provide a structured environment to promote multiculturalism. "Campus Conversations has been a worthwhile program that has truly served its purpose," Scott said. "My students have come away from this and said it is the best teaching experience they've ever had." An average of six international students have been attending the discussions, Smith said.

College of Education makes advisement day preparations By Mike Greer
StatEC
T
he College of Education will hold its first Program Advisement Days March 29 and 30. "What is unique about this is that we don't know of anyone who's ever done it on this scale," said Program Advisement Days Chairman Frank Nelson. "We sent out 6,000 personal invitations; 4,000 to education undergraduates, 2,000 to undecided and undeclared students," Nelson said. There will be refreshments, a harpist and everyone who participates will receive the new College of Education decal. Advisors from the University Advisement Office will also be available to help students. The event begins with sessions for undecided students from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., March 29 in the University Center Ballroom. Beginning at noon on the 29th advisors from each education program are scheduled to attend. Advisors will be in their office taking calls from 3:15 to

We have sent all of the faculty suggestions for things to cover. The job market is one of them. —Frank Nelson Program Advisement Days Chairman
4:15 p.m., March 30. Advisors will return that evening from 6:45 until 7:15 p.m. to accommodate UCO's night students. "That's fabulous that they'll be there at night. I work every day but I could really use this," said Kemp Woods, UCO senior. The program began as a response to student concern. As the chairman of the college of education recruitment retention committee, Nelson heard many suggestions. "Advisement was identified by students as something we could improve upon," Nelson said. The College of Education includes nearly 30 programs ranging from nutrition and
psychology to fashion marketing and industrial safety. "I'm really not sure what classes I need, when I need to take them and what non-major classes I should take," said Aubree Winkler, UCO junior. Many students share her sentiments. "There are so many classes to choose from, I know what to take to graduate, but not what will best prepare me for after graduation," said Matt Roberts, UCO sophomore. Advisors will be ready to field these and other questions. "We have sent all of the faculty suggestions for things to cover. The job market is one of them," Nelson said. "There's also state certification exams, portfolios, foreign language requirements, guidelines for admission to programs, course substitutions, and other topics," he said. Nelson would also like to start a mentoring program for students. Mentors would be juniors and seniors and would advise freshmen and sophomores in the education process. "Freshman and sophomores would benefit from hearing what juniors and seniors have to say," Nelson said. Students agree mentoring could be a beneficial idea. "I've taken great classes and worthless ones. It would be nice to know which classes to sign up for and which ones to avoid," Roberts said.

"The international students come in a little nervous but we've really been surprised at how much they've ended up enjoyed it," Smith said. "We've even established some regulars." Campus Conversations is open to all UCO students who are interested in learning about other cultures. Those who would like to attend are encouraged to sign up at the Academic Support Center in Thatcher Hall, Room 106, but those who just show up will not be turned down, Scott said. The group meets Monday afternoons and evenings and discusses current events from 1 to 2, cultural issues from 2 to 3, and movies 6 to 7. On Tuesday afternoons, the group discusses movies from 1:30 to 2:30. On Thursday afternoons and evenings, cultural issues are discussed from 1:30 to 2:30 and current events are discussed from 6 to 7. All meetings are held in the
Thatcher Hall lounge area. "This gives the students who attend easy access to the Academic Support Center, which offers assistance to international students through a variety of programs," Smith said. Based on its success, Campus Conversations will likely be continued, possibly in a different atmosphere, Scott said. "I'd like to see my students work with non-native English speakers in public schools in the future," she said. Students from Scott's class who participated in the program said they learned from the experience. "I can see how English-as-asecond-language (ESL) students could become extremely frustrated and give up. This encourages me to seek creative methods to teach these students," said Debbie Minshall, one of Scott's students. For more information, call Scott at 974-5427.

Dover went the distance, striking out a season-high 12 and giving up just three hits to improve to 6-1. Davis took the loss, giving up just seven hits and the one unearned run in falling to 5-3. NSU took a 3-0 lead in the top half of the third inning, but Brown tied it with a three run homer in the bottom of the third. He added a two run homer in the fourth as UCO took a 6-3 lead.

ccepting a diploma with his peers May 6 will be one man for whom a degree is the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Bill Austin, 49, lives with muscular dystrophy, a disease which progressively weakens the skeletal muscles. Austin has been left with only the use of five percent of his right hand. He can control the joystick of his motorized wheelchair. Austin is working toward a bachelor's degree in accounting. He uses customized voice recognition software and a Hewlett-Packard computer which allow him to type and do Internet research at high speeds. The software was developed by NanoPac Inc. of Tulsa. "This amazing computer has allowed me to type at more than four times my previous speed," Austin said. "On my previous computer, I had to type my homework using a wooden kitchen spoon." Austin's college career has spanned three decades. Not bad for a man whose family was told he would not see the age of 20. Earning a degree has been Austin's life-long goal. "When I was younger, I was a customer service representative in the Dallas office of the IRS. "A co-worker there was a graduate of Central State University (now UCO)," Austin said. "When my mother, who was born and raised in Guthrie, moved back here, I came along to get my head together and see what I was going to do." That was eight years ago. Austin has 30 years of experience with fellow students'

reactions to his disability. "Younger students are much more aware. They will offer to open books," Austin said. "I ask that I am treated no differently than other students." He does notice slight differences in how people behave toward him. "They might give me a little bit more time to get some things done, like getting through a door," Austin said. Between classes and home work, Austin also practices his passion — Kung Fu. Austin currently holds a third degree black belt. He has

been studying the art for 14 years. "My teacher, Master Perez, in Guthrie, tested me extensively on my ability to verbally instruct other people in the katas, the forms." Austin also wrote a 742 page treatise on the Wu Shu style of the Kung Fu discipline as part of his advancement. "It is basically an in-house manual for Master Perez." Austin did physically test for the belt. He maneuvered his wheelchair in the positions of the katas while describing in great detail the movements associated with the form. "If you wish to become a good Kung Fu artist, you must love life," Austin said. "Life is something that should be loved and cherished by all." Austin hopes to take the certified public accountant exam and become a CPA. He is also focusing on his wedding to Debra Umlauft. "I'm not willing to let my disability get in the way of my dreams."

UCO student educates local children about Kenya, Christian missionaries By Zach Anderson
Staff'
:
student is helping young people of Edmond to better understand the role Christian missionaries play in Kenya. Bernard Ngigi, a senior accounting major from Kenya, is donating his time to help elementary school children learn about his native country. Ngigi and four other UCO students native to Kenya gave a presentation on their native land to the children of Edmond Christian School on March 22. Each year, Edmond Christian School helps to sponsor a group of overseas missionaries. This year, the school is
focusing on missions in Kenya. Ngigi was asked to speak to the students to better educate them about missionary work and the culture of Kenya. Ngigi gave the children a brief overview of the history of
the church in Kenya, then went on to describe to his audience what Kenya is really like. "There are good things in Kenya," Ngigi said. "Not just the giraffes and gorillas you see on the Discovery Channel. There is
life in Kenya." Ngigi also spoke to the children about the help Christian missionaries provide to the people of Kenya. "The missionaries in Kenya start churches, witness to people,

and work with non-profit organizations to help people," Ngigi said. "The missionaries aren't just there to preach to people. They are there to do good works, and through that, they can reach people." Following Ngigi's speech, the four other UCO students from Kenya, Wambui Kabata, Wanjiku Kinjanjiu, Mumbi Anunda, and Nancy Mang' on closed the presentation by performing a traditional tribal dance for the children. The dancers were all dressed in traditional Kenyan clothing. Ngigi believes that educating V See KENYA,

Continued from page 12 local children about his native culture is his way of giving back to a community that he feels has given so much to him. "I am privileged to be in this country and to have the opportunity to learn about this culture. "As an ambassador of my own country, it is my responsibility while I am here to help make people aware of my own culture," Ngigi said. "Being from a different culture, I think my major purpose is to be a benefit to the community. This community offers me many opportunities. "I have been given the great advantage of living in the United States, and I would like to give something back. "I don't have much to give, but educating these children about different cultures is my way of giving back. "I hope to teach kids that we
are all one, we are all equal, even if we are from different cultures. "Culture is just a way of life. It shouldn't be a boundary line that separates people." Ngigi has previously spoken about Kenyan culture at Sequoyah Middle School in Edmond. At Edmond Christian School, however, he was able to incorporate talk of Christian mission work into his presentation, which he feels is extremely important. "Kids don't understand the details of missionary work," Ngigi said. "Missionaries in Kenya don't just preach at people. They work hard. They help to set up hospitals, they help start businesses, they provide help for homeless people. "Children need to understand that Christianity isn't just a name — it's a way of life."

Ngigi spoke to the student about life in Kenya and the work of Christian missionaries in his home country. The presentation ended with a traditional tribal dance preformed by dancers wearing traditional Kenyan clothing.
