University Suites scheduled for fall completion BY SARAH ROBERSON

he newest addition to UCO's housing community, the University Suites, is scheduled to be finished by August for fall occupancy. Unlike other residence facilities on campus, the suites are being built based on the results of focus group findings conducted in March 2000. The topic of the focus group regarded what students preferred in
on-campus living quarters. Todd Duncan, director of Residence Life, said, "The design and style of the suites is primarily based on survey results of current and prospective students." The facility is equipped with numerous amenities that [students] indicated as important and desirable, stated Duncan. The suites, a combination of a dorm room and an apartment, consist of three separate floor plans, including one with a small kitchen.
All of the suites are equipped with private phone lines, data connections to the universitynetwork, movable furniture and private temperature controls. "It meets a need of the middle option in the housing program between the University Commons and the traditional residence halls," Duncan said. The suites are priced midway between the more expensive Commons and the less expensive residence halls.
The new suites will also house a
food court and a store, designed for students who prefer to eat close to home. In addition, the suites will offer individual mailboxes, a computer lab, a TV lounge, a game room and a laundry unit. Current on-campus residents have first priority in getting into the suites. Interested students need to apply by April 4. A deposit of $100 will be required for all applicants. For more information, call Residence Life at 974-4000. •

U
CO has sorely needed anothefstage facility for a long time, which is why purchasing the old Citychurch in Edmond is such welcome news. Sure, the renovations will be expensive, but we have one of the finest theater programs of any university and these students need facilities as much as others may need a biology lab or a student newspaper. And we can probably con the administration into letting us hold rock concerts there.

International director travels the world seeking students BY ANN DEE MCCLANE
Staff Writer
A
s the director of International Student Services, Dr. Ronald Paddack travels worldwide, speaking to large groups about UCO and Edmond in an effort to recruit students. And that is just what he did March 1 through March 20, when he traveled to India and Sri Lanka. "The response [in India] was very, very good," Paddack
said. "The interest in studying in Oklahoma was very strong." More than a recruitment trip though, the journey marked a significance in Paddack's life. "It had a personal meaning beyond a recruitment trip ... It meant that I could now say that I have been to 100 countries," he said. This was his first visit to both India and Sri Lanka. Traveling with the INDUS (India and United States) Foundation, whose head-
quarters are in Edison, N.J., Paddack toured seven cities: New Delhi, the capital of India; Lucknow; Chenai, which used to be Madras; Hyderabad; Bangalore; Vishkpatnm; and Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Seminars were held every morning in each city with one-on-one interviews with prospective students. One day during the trip was reserved for visiting the Taj Mahal, located in Agra, India,

LETTERS Too much stereotyping, student says
I
am writing in regard to the letter "Yes, Dr. Rice, 'Men are pigs"' that ran March 22. It's easy in this day in age to stereotype people. We do it by the way they dress, the music they listen to or even by the color of their skin. In the letter, the writer decided to stereotype another type of people: men. That's right, someone finally figured us out! All men are chauvinistic pigs. Jessie from Saved By the Bell was right the whole time. We all plan on becoming "deadbeat dads" and "unemployed perpetrators of domestic violence and child molestation." Is this what our gender has to come to? I don't think so. It was said that the male species has been in a steady state of deterioration in the last 20 years. I tend to disagree. Let's take a look at one of the era's most notable figures: Ted Bundy. Yup. Good fellow. Heck of fine role model for youngsters. Far superior to this day's stock of "chauvinistic pigs." Instead he was just a straight mass murderer. Oh, and don't forget Wilt Chamberlain. I bet all sorts of kids wanted to be like him when they grew up. He only slept with, what, 5,000 different women? And then he bragged about
"If the male species has fallen into a state of decline, it is because the female species has caused us to do so."
it. Again his morals must be far superior to those of us from "Generation Pig." The truth is that there were just as many "pigs" in that generation as we have now. Heck, the way my dad talks about college, I'd have to say that there were more. If the male species has fallen into a state of decline, it is because the female species has caused us to do so. A good portion of women are not attracted to Bible-carrying, goodwilled and good-natured guys. And some women even suffer from what I'd like to call Reverse Chauvinism Disorder. How many girls do you know who'd say something like "He's got a nice butt" or "nice arms" or "well-trimmed fingernails?" OK, maybe not welltrimmed fingernails, but women critique a guy's appearance just as much as guy's judge a woman's.
I would like to make a hasty generalization and say that all women are sexist piglets, or something like that, but the truth is that I don't know every girl in America. I think it's only fair that every man be judged by who they are, not by the stereotypes that have been attributed to their gender. Just remember, many inaccurate generalizations have been made in the past about certain groups of people. Stereotyping has led to slavery, the Holocaust, and, heck, even the Salem Witch Trials. If we continue with this line of thinking much longer, than pretty soon all of us "male chauvinistic pigs" would have to be locked away in concentration camps. Instead, let's keep what Jesus said in mind: "Judge not, lest yee be judged." It's a pretty sound theory to practice. The man obviously knew what he was talking about. I won't label every woman as a "she-witch" as long as you don't label me a "pig." Heck, if you're nice enough, I might even be one of those gentlemen from yesteryear and open the door for you.

Group pushes bathtub on wheels 17 miles to raise money BY TAMI CRABTREE
Student Writer
U
CO's Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Sigma Kappa Sorority and Oklahoma City University's (OCU) Kappa Sigma worked together to raise money for the Special Olympics. The 2nd Annual Kappa Sigma Bathtub Push was held March 24. "It was incredible. We started around 10:30 a.m.
and finished around 2:30 p.m.," said Mike Thrift of Kappa Sigma. Participants pushed a bathtub on wheels from the Texaco on Eastern and Memorial down 23rd St. to the Kappa Sigma house on the OCU campus about 17 miles away in Oklahoma City. The goal of each sorority and fraternity was to raise $5,000 each. Thrift said he thinks the event raised $6,000 to $8,000 Sunday
night. Members worked toward their goal by soliciting donations from local businesses. Businesses donating $100 or more were made corporate sponsors. Their company name was printed on the back of a T-shirt and a sign was placed on a vehicle following the bathtub. "Seventy-five people were present," said Thrift, "It was a great success!" •

U professor Dr. Bill Lovallo presented "Caffeine Effects on Cardiovascular Stress Responses in Hypertension Development" on March 26, sponsored by UCO's Psi Chi, in the Pegasus Theater. "We were very fortunate to have an internationally known speaker that was willing to take the time to spend with our graduate and
undergraduates," said Dr. Lorraine Youll, faculty sponsor of Psi Chi. Lovallo is a physiological psychologist and the professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the OU Health Sciences Center. The presentation covered a topic he has researched for the past 15 years. Lovallo's research covers various aspects of health. His book, Stress and Health: Biological and Psychological Interaction was published in 1997. He has also published over 100 articles.
The audience was mostly made up of psychology students. "He was very interesting and understandable," said Youll. "He took a lot of time to answer questions." Lovallo also spoke about opportunities to participate in current research at his lab. Psi Chi has tried to sponsor one speaker a month this semester, said Youll. The goal of Psi Chi is to have speakers with a variety of interests who will appeal to students. •

UCO forensics team wins 29 awards at tournament BY NATALIE SMITH
Staff Writer
I
he UCO forensics team brought home more awards than any other team from a recent tournament at Connors State College in Warner, Oklahoma. Fourteen colleges and universities participated in the March 10 competition, which consisted of public speaking and interpretation events. Rozilyn Miller, forensic team coach and communications instructor, said, "My team is brilliant! They've won a total of 29 awards this year! They're dedicated, creative, and fun!" The events at the tournament included: prose interpretation, poetry interpretation, dramatic interpretation, duo interpretation, impromptu speaking, informative speaking, persuasive speaking and after-dinner speaking. Individual winners from UCO include Dawn Haygood, Emily Dake, Tony Owens, Elizabeth Pressler, Elanna Lindenberg and Dennis Gothard. Haygood, a senior communications major,
won first place in dramatic interpretation and third place in poetry interpretation. Dake, a senior communication education major, won first place in prose interpretation and second place in dramatic interpretation. Owens, a Spanish education major, got second place in informative speaking and fourth place in after-dinner speaking. Pressler, a senior English major, achieved second place in poetry interpretation and second place in prose interpretation. Lindenberg, a senior communication education major, won third place in prose interpretation. Gothard, a junior communications education major, placed third in duo interpretation. Pressler and Owens were also given Academic Achievement Awards. Miller is proud of her team. "I had a coach from Northeastern [State University] come up to me at the last tournament and tell me she could always tell that someone was 'one of Roz's kids' because they dressed, looked, acted, and behaved so professionally," Miller said. •

n uncertain future looms ahead for UCO track, but their perseverance pushed them to break one record and finish first in several events.

Knight is in control at Texas Tech
IL
ess than a year after being fired from Indiana University, controversial basketball coach Bob Knight celebrated his coming out party as Texas Tech's newest head coach with an hour-long interview on CNN's "Larry King Live." Knight, accompanied by Texas Tech President David Schmidly, addressed everything from his experience at Indiana to the temper that ultimately led to his dismissal
last year by Ill president Myles Brand. "I think that ... not only do I have to change some things ... I think I have to eliminate a thing or two," Knight said. "Not just change it, but just get rid of it." Knight said that while the legend of his famous persona has been "grossly exaggerated" over time, "I also think there are a couple things that I can coach and be better off without."

"Karen's [Knight's wife] favorite saying is, 'If the horse is dead, get off,"' said Knight, referring to some habits of his that have caused more harm than good in recent years. Schmidly, who made Knight's hiring official last week, defended the choice. He said that he has been a fan of Knight's for years, and that after meeting with him on the matter, the choice to hire him was an easy one. "We talked to a lot of people that have known Coach Knight for a long time," he said. "Talked to a lot of people that have not, that only read about him. And what I would say is a very consistent pattern there. The people who had known Coach Knight for a long time raved about him, not only as a person, but as a coach. And of course, my experience with him ... has been the same way."

Annual multilingual poetry reading to be held March 29 BY BETH HULL

tudents who frequent local cafes may be accustomed to the occasional poetry reading or open mic night, but the UCO Modern Language Department's March 29 poetry night will bring a different twist to the traditional coffee house-style poetry.

Department will present their 3rd annual multilingual poetry event, "Speaking in Tongues," at 7:30 p.m. March 29 in the Communications Auditorium. The event is free to the public. "We're inviting people from our campus or outside campus to read poems in their native languages," said Dr. Rudi Nollert, UCO Modern Language Department chair. "The idea is really to give people a chance to share these pieces." Some of the languages Nollert

expects to be represented are German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese and Homeric Greek, although poems in other languages may also be presented. English translations will be provided for every poem that will be read. Nollert encourages anyone who is interested to read their favorite foreign language poem that evening. "It's an invitation to participate rather than just be a spectator," Nollert said.
"The main reason we're doing this is to institutionalize foreign culture and help bring more of a university feel to UCO." Those interested in reading at the event are asked to sign up in advance and submit a text and English translation to Nollert in Thatcher Hall, Room 204 early Thursday, March 29.

Greek life to phase out at SCU
Lunch on the go ... Erin Wooten, a freshman forensic science major, and Crystal Reeves, a freshman criminal justice major, order sandwiches at UCO's food court during their lunch break on March 28.
BY BILLY 0' KEEFE
Wire Reporter reek life at California's Santa Clara University (SCU) is going the way of Icarus. The university announced last week that it will phase out all eight of its fraternities and sororities over a period of two years, a decision that it says will affect some 10 percent of its student body. Under the university's plan, all sophomores and juniors who are currently members of one of SCU's four fraternities or four sororities may remain so. Chapters may not, however, recruit any new members. The decision to phase out fraternities and sororities lies in the university's desire to create and expand on programs that serve the entire student body instead of a portion of it. "To achieve the community we envision, the university must aggressively support priorities that will benefit the greatest number of students, encourage friendships and understanding among individuals and groups, and align finite resources strategically to promote those goals," said SCU President Paul Locatelli in a letter announcing the decision to InterGreek Council officers and chapter presidents. Locatelli's announcement comes months after a committee of faculty, staff and students opened a dialogue on the matter. According to documents released by the university, several members of the committee had recommended a tighter, more streamlined fraternity and sorority system. In the end, however, Locatelli and others felt that abandoning the program in favor of more wide-ranging programs made the most financial sense. "We want to make it clear that our decision regarding the Greek system should not be seen as a reflection on members of Greek organizations at Santa Clara," wrote Locatelli in a memo to members of the university's Policy Committee on Student Affairs. "Many of those individuals have made outstanding contributions to academic and student life over the years. These graduates, many of whom have written letters in support of their Greek experience, are positive examples of a Santa Clara education." •

Excursioning with ECU's Geography Department, his first international trip was to Canada and Cuba during the summer. The following year, he visited the Bahamas. He also spent 11 years working in Germany, Turkey, Korea, Guam and Japan. Of all the various places he has visited, Paddack enjoys the city of London the most. He delights in the theater there and believes the
people to be very friendly. He has frequented London many times. "It's a world-class city like no other," he said. UCO is currently home to 1,757 international students from 102 different countries. The largest group of foreign students hail from Japan, followed by Taiwan, Malaysia and India. Paddack enjoys traveling worldwide, talking to others about what UCO has to offer.

Confiscated yearbook case settled BY BILLY 0' KEEFE
Wire Reporter
A
ttention, KSU Class of 1994: Your yearbook is in the mail. Putting to rest a case with the United States Supreme Court, Kentucky State University (KSU) settled a suit brought in 1994 by two former students, who claimed that university officials acted out of line in confiscating and censoring some 2,000 copies of the 1993-94 edition of the Thorobred, the school's student-produced yearbook. Capri Coffer and Charles Kincaid, former Thorobred editors who sued the university, will receive $5,000 each, according to separate reports filed by the University of Kentucky's Kentucky Kernel student newspaper, the Student Press Law Center and the Society of Professional Journalists. The university will also foot the bill for Coffer's and Kincaid's legal expenses, totaling approximately $60,000, and will release the yearbooks to students. Officials at KSU, led by thenVice President of Student Affairs Betty Gibson, confiscated the book in 1994 after expressing concerns about the quality of the book, as well as its purple color scheme, which officials said was not representative of the school's colors. The two students filed suit the following year. In 1997, U.S. District Judge Joseph Hood, citing a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a similar case, ruled in favor of the university. Hood pointed to a the case that granted high school officials the right to censor student publications that do not fall in accordance with the school's educational philosophy. The decision to apply a high school law to a college publication outraged students and student press advocates, who saw the decision as a threat. This past January, U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge R. Guy Cole concurred and reversed the decision. "The university's confiscation of this journal of expression was arbitrary and unreasonable," said Cole. "As such, it violated Kincaid's and Coffer's First Amendment rights." Al Cross, president-elect of the Society of Professional Journalists, called the settlement and the appeal that preceded it "a complete victory for those of us who battle for freedom of information." •
