ull-time university employees can apply for three free hours of summer classes as part of UCO's summer tuition waiver program starting April 8. Anitra Dugar, employee relations manager for the department of human resources said all UCO faculty that receive benefits can-apply for tuition. Their children and spouses are also eligible for the waiver. Kristen Ford, Administrative Assistant to the president, said President Roger Webb plans to continue funding for the faculty tuition waiver program despite recent budget cuts. Dugar said, "So far President Webb has funded it every year." Graduate Oklahoma residents currently pay $211.80 for three credit hours at UCO, plus fees. .

y 9:00 a.m. March 14 an estimated 4,000 issues of The Vista were stolen off distribution racks and dumped into trash cans throughout campus. UCO DPS was dispatched to the Administration Building on a report that a person was stealing the newspapers. The suspect was apprehended and released after questioning. The suspect's information was turned over to Jarrod Noftsger,
B
Vice President of Student Services, after DPS decided no criminal charges could be filed. Noftsger was unavailable for comment on any possible disciplinary actions being taken. "This is a typical reaction to what is perceived to be bad news by people trying to prohibit others from finding out about news. What they don't understand is that it draws more attention to the paper," Clark said. Jeff Harp, director of DPS, said that it would be in the best interest of the justice system to allow the university to handle the
situation. "Had the newspapers been posted with a price then it would have given us the room we needed to file a criminal charge," Harp said. According to statistics on the Student Press Law Center's web site, the theft of The Vista's newspapers is the tenth free college paper to be censored in this way since the beginning of March. "The theft of newspapers is a hard case to prosecute because rarely do you catch them in the act," Clark said.
Besides the printing costs and intrinsic value to the staff writers and the editors there was a potential loss of advertising revenue that could affect the paper's future advertising budget. "We haven't had any businesses complain so far. Hopefully the controversy prompted students who normally don't read the paper to pick up a copy," said Tay Gavin advertising manager for The

LETTERS Reader says Ames deserves whatever happens to him'
I
am writing in regards to the student referring to John Cooper Ames as a "virtuous man." I know in the United States everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I understand that these charges are alleged, and I am not passing judgment on Mr. Ames, but I must say that I was outraged that anyone would set up a fund in the name of an alleged child molester; it is saying `it is ok and we support you
anyway.' No one who is a "virtuous man" would have acted in such an inappropriate sexual manner. He could not have been thinking about his family, UCO, his career, church and the community. It makes me angry that people say, "I am praying for Mr. Ames." What about those two children who were violated and traumatized in the worst way that a child can experience? A
"virtuous man," I think not, because no god of mine would hurt his children. I am praying for those two children and their families and the Ames family but not Mr. Ames, because he put himself in this situation and he deserves whatever happens to him.

UCO, Edmond plan stadium merger BY BRIAN HOSTETLER
I
join with us in a partnership to upgrade Wantland Stadium," Kreidler told the board. Kreidler is optimistic towards the board's reaction to the plan, "I think they will be very excited about the possibility." Edmond Public Schools already have three schools sharing the field with UCO's football squad for games which costs the school system between $30,000 and $40,000 a year. Superintendent of Edmond Public Schools, David Goin commented on the project, " We are excited about the opportunity... to create a better stadium." According to David Goin, renovations would cost around $8 million to $9 million
Sports Editor
he University of Central Oklahoma and the Edmond Public School Board are in negotiations to renovate UCO's 40-year-old Wantland Stadium in an agreement creating a shared ownership of the facility. The renovations would include improving field damage in the form of a grass or turf covering, placing permanent seating on the east side of the field, rebuilding the press box, adding new lighting and replacing the scoreboard. Steve Kreidler, UCO vice president of administration proposed the renovation project at the Edmond School Board's regular meeting. "We would like for you to
dollars. Goin said the costs would not necessarily be split 50-50, but shared expenditures would be exercised. He believes the community would benefit from the stadium upgrade. UCO's administration hopes to expand the field's usage to more than just football games. For the Edmond Public Schools to approve the merger, they need district voters to pass a bond issue that could be on the ballot as early as fall. UCO hopes to raise the money through grants, fundraising and student fees. Goin said that if all the pieces surrounding the issue fall into place, work could start on the stadium as early as the 2003-2004 school year. •
SPORTS BRIEFS WEEK IN AWARDS April Ferrall and Ricky Belk were selected as Lone Star Conference North Division players of the week. Ferrall hit .667 for the softball team in UCO's four games with Cameron and Belk pitched a three hitter in a 7-1 win for the baseball team against Northeastern State.
FIELDING QUICK STARTS Both the UCO baseball and softball squads have started the year extremely well. The baseball ball team is 23-4 on the year and the softball team is 19-6 comming off a 12-game win streak.
NATIONAL CHART TOPPERS UCO can now boast one of the top-10 baseball programs in Division II ball. Previously ranked 12th in the nation, the Bronchos moved up two places to 10th with their doubleheader sweep of Cameron.
BASEBALL QUICK STATS Bryan Coy leads the team in batting average, home runs, stolen bases, total bases, slugging, triples, hits and runs. Travis Davidson has been hit by pitch 11 times this season.
SOFTBALL QUICK STATS April Ferrall is slugging an amazing .908 on the season. The softball pitchers have a combined 1.41 ERA in their 25 games.

CO baseball pulled out a tight 15-13 extra inning victory on pinch-hitter J eff Thompson's two-run single in the top of the tenth against the Cameron Aggies March 24. Two of the Broncho's five homeruns came from the bat of Justin Carroll in this gung-ho, offensively tilted game that left both pitching staffs battered and bruised. UCO totaled 17 hits to come from behind 7-2 and 11-6 during the game. The Bronchos have won 11 of the last 12 games to improve their record to 23-4 and 4-1 in the LSC North. In the second inning, Cameron led 7-2 until Bryan Coy and Rothy Briggs both produced two-run homers in the top of the third to close within one run, 7-6.

UCO's Steven Hutcherson led off with a walk and was followed by David Jones' single to put runners on first and second.

An opportunity to help find a better treatment for genital herpes: California's teachers are treated very well. Last year, the California public school system began implementing a $34,000 statewide minimum salary for beginning teachers — and some districts pay as much as $44,000 for first-year teachers.
Over 85% of California school districts have raised starting teacher salaries to the recommended statewide minimum of S34,000.

This year we not only ask individual international student associations to participate but also Multicultural Student Services," said Megumi Fujiwara, chairman of the organizing committee. "We publicize on-campus as well as off-campus, so the community will know about [international students] and we can gain recognition," she said. "Last year, President Webb came and visited us. We had a great time and we felt [that we are] a part of UCO family." She said the festival will serve as a fund-raising event for student associations by selling their native foods. Fadee Mondalek, the president of International Student Council (ISC) said, "part of the profit will be donated to the European

"Hopefully the weather cooperates. We hope to have music and it'll be fun." The festival will be start at 11:30 a.m. on the sidewalks around Broncho Lake. Last year, five international student associations participated and served foods like Chinese fried rice, Japanese soba, and Thai tea. There will be seven international student associations participating including Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Morocco, and Thailand, and two multicultural organizations of Asian American and Hispanic student associations.

REVIEW Fraternity stereotypes, toilet humor run rampant in Sorority Boys
orority Boys is a comedy about fraternity members and toilet humor directed by Wallace Wolodarsky and stars Barry Watson (7th Heaven, Teaching Mrs. Tingle), Harland Williams (Half Baked, The Whole Nine Yards), and Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville, Sweet November). Three Kappa Omega Kappa (KOK, get it?) members are expelled after being accused of stealing the fraternity's social activity funds. In desperation of getting evidence to prove their

The sorority across the street from the KOK house is Delta Omicron Gamma (DOG), which have been strongly against KOK's disrespectful treatment toward women. The three KOK outcasts end up pledging to the DOG house for free room and board while they continue to plot ways to retrieve a tape showing the real thief. In a twist that the audience can see miles away, Dave/Daisy (Watson) starts to fall for the DOG leader, Leah (Melissa Sagemiller), which causes a few moral dilemmas of the "to tell or not to tell" kind.

theater expecting an Oscar-worthy film, but halfway through the film I began to lament the two hours of my life that I will never get back. The writers Joe Jarvis and Greg Coolidge, who are OU graduates, use every stereotype you can think of to create characters that are grotesque and unsympathetic. The KOK members are all into drinking and having sex with as many girls as they can. The girls going to the frat house parties are mostly beautiful (in the Barbie-doll way, of course), not exactly too bright, and willing to comply. The members of DOG, on the other hand, are mostly misfits who are not beautiful in the conventional way and have selfesteem problems. The one exception is Leah because she's Dave's love interest. Even with glasses she is still the blonde beauty with a brain. Yet for all of her smarts, Leah never figures out that the three new members of DOG are really men in drag — and not exactly good at it. Sure, the filmmakers probably did try to squeeze in some sort of morality lessons like not being afraid of who you are, don't judge a book by its cover or some such things. However, the jokes are so hideous and uninspiring that it's really hard for the audience to find
anything funny or to care about any of the characters. I love what Rosenbaum has been doing in Smallville, and to have him play a man in drag who starts to care about whether or not his butt looks too big and how the high heels make his legs look slimmer, is just a crime. Watson's character is supposed to be the one exception to the stereotypical fraternity men because the constant emphasis that he's in search of the girl with whom he can actually have a conversation.

These prehistoric creatures attempt to change a diaper and feed a screaming baby. Meanwhile, a devilish plot is brewing in the mind of the carnivorous tiger.

The computer animation is done well — too bad they didn't spend as much time on the plot or developing the characters. Again, the film is created for children. A lot of screen time is devoted to a squirrel who appears periodically, like the Energizer Bunny, chasing down the last acorn on earth. Another point to make is that it
is rated PG. There are a lot carnivorous innuendoes. Tigers fantasize about eating humans and not all the animals survive the climate.

UCO grad to star POLICE BRIEFS in Shakespeare play Larceny
BY ]ERA STONE
Staff Writer
I
magine seeing a Shakespeare play performed as it was done in the 17th century with lights never off during the performance, simple set decoration, audience participation, and men playing women's roles. UCO students and the community members will have a chance to experience a performance of such when the Shenandoah Shakespeare Express touring company presents "Love's Labour's Lost" 8 p.m. April 3 at Mitchell Hall Theatre. "One of the actors in the company, Tyler Woods, is a UCO graduate," said UCO Associate Professor of Theatre Arts Douglas Getzoff. Woods was the one that brought up the idea of having Shenandoah Shakespeare Express touring company performing at UCO, Getzoff said. Woods, who graduated from UCO in May 2000, has been with the company since November. "I think UCO has a lot to offer, and I want to offer something back," Woods said. The Shenandoah Shakespeare Company is based in Staunton, Virginia where they rehearse and perform at the Blackfriars Playhouse while not traveling. Guest director Nick Hutchison of the London Globe and the Royal Shakespeare Company directs "Love's Labour's Lost." "It's been a pretty great experience touring with the
company," Woods said. "Some of my friends are still at UCO, and I think this is a nice example of what you can do when you leave school," he said. Getzoff, who is the technical director for Mitchell Hall Theatre, said he is planning on sitting back and enjoying the performance. "From what I've heard, they really explore the text and characters," Getzoff said. About 40 chairs will be placed on the stage for some audience members while the other members sit in the house, Getzoff said. The performance will be a fundraiser for the Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park to rebuild the stage in Hafer Park that was burned down in December, Getzoff said. Another performance, free for UCO students, will be around 11 a.m. on April 4th at the Mitchell Hall Theatre, he said. Woods has a few stops and performances, including one in Mississippi and one in Ohio, before he comes back to UCO with the Shenandoah Shakespeare Company. "I'm very much looking forward to coming back to perform on that stage," Woods said. "I can't wait for everyone to meet the talented and wonderful people that I work with now, and I can't wait for them to meet the talented and wonderful people that I went to school with," Woods said. Tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for students. For more information, call the Mitchell Hall Theatre box office at 974-3375. •

AROUND THE NATIO Student sues law prof over demonstration of legal rule FROM WIRE REPORTS
Associated Press CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — In a case fraught with irony as well as potential repercussions for how law teachers run their classes, a University of Virginia law student filed a lawsuit charging that a professor assaulted her as part of a classroom demonstration of what constitutes assault. Marta Sanchez filed a lawsuit in Albemarle County Circuit Court against law professor Kenneth Abraham, claiming that he committed assault and battery against her. The lawsuit seeks $25,000 in compensatory damages and $10,000 in punitive damages.
The university has until April 1 to respond to the lawsuit filed Feb. 26. The lawsuit stems from an incident last fall in an introductory class Abraham teaches for first-year law students. As a demonstration of a legal principle known as the "egg-shell skull rule," Abraham touched Sanchez on the shoulder. Sanchez said the touch — which Abraham has said was a "tap" and Sanchez has described as a "caress" — caused her to experience disturbing memories of rape, pregnancy and abortion that she suffered in her native Panama. "She brought a lot of baggage with her," said Steven Rosenfield, Sanchez's lawyer. "She had been
terrorized and victimized as a child, and although we don't hold Abraham responsible for what happened to her as a child, what he did is exacerbate and bring to the surface once again her vulnerability to men with authority and power." That unexpected reaction is an example of what the egg-shell skull rule is meant to cover. The rule says that if a court decides that a wrongful act has occurred, the defendant is responsible for the damage caused by the act, even if the damage is greater than normally expected. Abraham referred questions on the case to Richard C. Kast in the university's Office of the General Counsel. A university
spokeswoman said Monday that university attorneys do not discuss ongoing cases. Other professors and legal scholars expressed concern that the lawsuit, if successful, could have a far-reaching effect on how law professors teach their classes. Law students must face sensitive issues such as rape, pornography, abortion, sexual harassment and the death penalty, said Anne Coughlin, a criminalprocedure and feminist-theory specialist at U.Va. "Given the stuff I teach, this scares me out of my wits," she said. "I have to talk about issues that are much more explosive than a torts suit. I teach rape and police brutality and you name it,
Vfn'eftmit) cifCultrit4klabr,ma tritlim
all those subjects, and they are very, very hard. The thought that you'd have to so carefully police yourself in the classroom that a misspoken word might generate not just a student coming up to you after class but a lawsuit ... is really troubling." Richard Merrill, an administrative law expert and former dean of the law school, said he found the Sanchez lawsuit "deeply disturbing. We engage students all the time, in conversation, in argument. We interrogate them ... and I think almost invariably with sensitivity to individual student reactions." • Log on to www.thevistaonline.com

AROUND THE NATION Klan mural's fate determined BY REX W. HUPPKE
Associated Press BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — A- mural from the 1930s that includes images of the Ku Klux Klan will remain hanging in an Indiana University classroom, despite objections from the university's Black Student Union. Chancellor Sharon Stephens Brehm announced the mural's fate Monday, saying that removing it would be akin to hiding part of the state's past. She did, however, agree to step up the school's policy of explaining the mural to incoming students and launched a new fund dedicated to promoting multicultural art across campus. "I am convinced that moving or covering the mural would be morally wrong because it would, in effect, do what (the artist) refused to do. That is it would hide the shameful aspects of Indiana's past," Brehm said. The mural in question is one of 26 panels painted by Thomas Hart Benton for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. In total, the mural was 250 feet long and gave an artistic rendering of the social and industrial history of the state. Indiana was a Klan stronghold in the 1920s, and one panel shows several white-hooded Klansmen burning a cross. That
image is surrounded by others, including journalists, who eventually broke the political power of the Klan, and nurses caring for both black and white children. A plaque placed near the mural explains that it is not intended to glorify the Klan, and professors are supposed to show students a video explaining the work at the start of each semester. But students say that rarely happens, and many complain that the mural is a distraction. "If you are an African American, if you don't know the history of the mural, if you have no context in which to interpret it, and if you have no choice about seeing it, it's quite likely this will be an unpleasant and discomforting experience," Brehm said. "And it's particularly discomforting on a campus where African American students are only 4 percent of our student body and 4 percent of our faculty." So Brehm said she has taken it upon herself to ensure that diversity on the 37,000-student campus improved. Her goals include: raising $1 million to pay for multicultural art projects; allotting more than $1 million to initiatives aimed at recruiting minority faculty and retaining minority students; and giving an annual "State of
NO HEAVY LIFTING REQUIRED! (EXCEPT WHEN PICKING UP YOUR PAYCHECK)
Diversity" address each October. Shannon Walden, political action chairman for the Black Student Union, said Brehm's commitments to diversity exceeded the group's expectations. "Our bigger issue was diversity on campus, but we realized that we had to start small, so that was the mural," Walden said. "But we didn't expect this amount of accountability. We can now say the chancellor knows what's supposed to happen, and she's responsible for it." Brehm also said a new educational video about the mural would be produced with the help of the Black Student Union. The university will make sure the video is shown on the first day of each semester and is followed by a class discussion. Also, each student who will have a class in the lecture room will receive an e-mail explaining the mural. "I understand why it's not being taken down," Walden said. "I think the mural is now going to serve as much more of a teaching tool." •

In London, street crime has skyrocketed, with 19,248 robberies reported between September and November 2001, up more than 100 percent from the 8,614 robberies during the same period the previous year. Much of the crime wave involves a massive rise in the theft of mobile phones — with more than 700,000 stolen in Britain last year, the government says.

SHREWSBURY, N.J. (AP) — Cash wasn't the only demand from a bank robbery suspect; she also was hoping the bank would provide a getaway driver. Nira Kay Nevins, 52, of Perth Amboy, was captured less than 40 yards from the bank, just moments after she fled with $5,000. She was charged Wednesday with robbery, making terrorist threats and kidnapping. She could receive 55 years in prison if convicted on all charges. Authorities said Nevins went to the Community Bank of New Jersey branch in Shrewsbury and gave the bank manager a plastic bag to fill with money. She claimed to have a gun. Nevins then demanded that someone give her a ride, authorities said. A teller left the bank with the suspect and employees immediately called police. "Part of the reason why she was apprehended so quickly is the teller

University police charged James Buzzard, 43, who lives on Cardinal Drive, with stealing the feeder from the lab on Sapsucker Woods Drive. According to police, Buzzard was apparently intoxicated when he entered a storage shed on the lab's property on Monday and tried to steal a $300 bird feeder and a mo-ped. Buzzard was spotted by someone who called the police. He was arraigned and held on $7,500 cash bail or $15,000 bail bond. He faces a felony third-degree burglary, as well as lesser charges involving the alleged larceny of the bird feeder and the mo-ped. See

STRANGE: City considers ordinance regarding droppings from buggy horses continued from page 18 LOYAL, Wis. (AP) — Some residents are making a stink about droppings from horses that pull Amish buggies through town. City officials are considering an ordinance that would require buggy operators to clean up after their horses or attach bags to catch the droppings before they can hit the pavement. Mayor Art Olsen said he has talked to Amish elders about the matter, but "they say the cars pollute more than their horses do." Emmanuel Miller, an Amish man who represented fellow Amish residents at a City Council meeting Tuesday night, said a waste catcher attached to a buggy to collect horse manure could pose a safety hazard, spooking a horse if it bumps against the animal's hind legs.

LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) — Two firefighters have been disciplined for playing a game in which losers placed a rubber ball between their buttocks while washing the fire station's dishes. The incident came to light Wednesday when KUSA-TV in Denver aired photos of the firefighters involved in what was HILLSBORO, Mo. (AP) — A dubbed "butt ball." A city jury acquitted a convenience store employee complained about the clerk accused of stealing a winning practice in July and the firefighters jackpot lottery ticket. were suspended for 48 hours Prosecutors said Chastity without pay in September and Cromer, 29, was stealing about 30 October.
"You're upset, you're outraged but more than anything you're disappointed," City Councilwoman Rebecca Kast said Thursday. Under the game, firefighters threw a racquet ball at a windchime and the person who missed had to do the dishes. When supervisors were not present, the losers also had to place a ball, covered in a latex glove, between their buttocks. One of the broadcast photographs showed a man doing the dishes with his trousers and underwear around his ankles. Kast said the behavior of two firefighters shouldn't tarnish the reputation the 165-member department. The city would not release the names or ranks of those disciplined. Officials determined 13 other firefighters did not violate any policies. In a written statement, City Manager Jim Woods said he was disappointed by the firefighters' behavior. "Clearly, some of them crossed the line," he said.
City spokeswoma Kelli Narde would not say whether any women were asked to participate in the game but said there were no findings of sexual harassment. The firefighters were disciplined for abuse or waste of city time,

ey UCO! Did you have a good spring break? Now that you're rested and refreshed, it's time to get busy and read my column. If you don't like it, don't read it. Just don't do something incredibly stupid like throwing away all of the issues from the stands. Over the break I noticed that some people took advantage of the warmer weather to try some of the new styles offered by stores. Seeing some of these people brought back memories about my advice column days. Look in a mirror, people! I will admit that I am not one of the more stylish people on campus. Most days you'd be lucky to see me in anything more upscale than jeans and a sweatshirt. However, my eyesight is sharp enough that I can see when something is wrong. Some of the things I've seen are enough to put People Magazine's Worst Dressed List nominees look like fashion plates. So without further ado, I will provide some sensible fashion advice. Get ready to cancel your Vogue subscriptions.
Rule No. 1: Sweats and shimmer do not a happy pair make. I encountered a lady at the grocery store over spring break who was wearing a sequined blouse with her fleece warm-ups.
protruding tummies should not wear low-cut jeans. It's not sexy. It's not attractive. It makes me ill. Stop it.
Rule No. 3: Hair clips are cute, and sometimes necessary. However, please do not wear more of them than you have teeth. I realize this may be difficult for those people from rural trailer park-style communities, but deal with it. Shave your head if necessary.
Rule No. 4: Baggy pants are great - I love them myself, but wearing ones that are too loose invites disaster. When you're not showing the world your brand new undies (or worse), you'll be clutching at them trying not to trip and fall. Learn what a belt is. Learn to use it. Your plumber doesn't need the competition. Rule No. 5: I will probably get some argument about this one, but please hide your bra straps, ladies. So I'm old-fashioned. So what? I was raised with the notion that the only women allowed to show their undergarments are strippers or lingerie models. That leaves the rest of us with the option of wearing a strapless bra with that cute little tank top. Above all, try to show some decency in your appearance. You never know when your future employer could be watching. •
