Dorm tenants to get fewer bites for their bucks By Jarrod Briley StainVriter

ager to offset costs incurred during recent dorm renovation projects, a UCO official announced Monday that student housing and meal plan fees would be increased. Although all students living on campus will be affected by the increase, those students who use meal plans,

especially the flexential program, will be affected most. The flexential program allows students living on campus to purchase meals, and buy books and supplies with the remaining balance. Currently, the program costs $1,647 each semester. Beginning July 1 it will cost $2,083 each semester, said Cornelius Wooten, vice president of academic affairs. Wooten attributes the increases to inflation. "Research conducted by

Driven mad students get another parking lot By Jarrod Briley StallWriter

nder pressure from disgruntled students, still fuming over the destruction of several hundred parking spaces north of Max Chambers Library, a UCO official said Wednesday that another temporary parking lot will soon be opened. The parking lot will be located at the intersection of University drive and Ayers, south of the 7Eleven convenience store, and will accommodate approximately 60 vehicles. The new parking lot will be the second temporary lot to be constructed. The first lot, located at the former driver's education driving range, was completed in midFebruary and accommodates approximately 200 vehicles, costing UCO $18,000 in construction costs, said Keith Weber, research assistant to the Office of the President. Leon Fourcade, parking services manager, anticipated the driving range parking lot, and a lot located east of Wantland Stadium, would amply compensate students for the

State: Schools may still 'wine and dine' legislators By Trent Dugas StaftWriter

f the UCO Brochos want

to give free tickets to members of legislation and government officials, they can now do it without worry from House Bill 1007. The bill would have prohibited institutions of higher education, including UCO, from giving away anything of value free to members of legislation or other government officers. The bill was not heard in the rules committee last week and has no chance of being passed for this

session. "The bill is basically dead and does not have a chance of being heard until next session," said Lisa Weddle, secretary to Rep. Russ Roach, D-Tulsa. Rep. Leonard Sullivan, ROklahoma City, proposed HB 1007, which stated, "It is in the intent of the legislature that no higher education institution within the Oklahoma State System of higher education shall provide the governor, any member of the Oklahoma Legislature or any officer of the state, county or municipal governments with anything of

value free of charge, including, but not limited to, any trip, meal or ticket to any sporting event." Roach, chairman of the rules committee, decided not to hear the bill in session, and said he thinks it is a private matter based on judgment of the legislators. He thinks everyone involved should make personal decisions on whether to keep anything given to them by an institution of higher education. "It's none of the legislators business and they should keep their nose out of affairs that do not involve taxpayers' money," Roach said.

Many UCO officials, including President Roger Webb, thinks the bill was not aimed at UCO in particular, but was created for other institutions. "I know where Rep. Sullivan is coming from and I don't think he envisions institutions like UCO because I am confident that he understands that a ticket to a basketball game is not going to corrupt a member of the house or senate," Webb said. "I took no position at the legislature on the bill, and if it had passed we would have lived

FEES Continued from front page UCO has shown that there will be a three to four percent increase in the cost of food," Wooten said. "It is very typical that food costs increase each year to keep up with inflation." The 20-meal-plan will increase from $1,716 to 1,809.78 per semester, the 14- meal-plan from $1,555 to $1,640.52 per semester, and the 10-meal-plan from $1,409 to $1,486.45 per semester. But residential students not participating in meal plans will also be effected by the fee increases. The fee for a single bedroom dorm, which is currently $1,444 per semester, will be increased to $1,544.95. And the fee for two bedroom

dorms, currently $910 per semester, will be increased to $973.70. Wooten attributes these increases to recent renovations made to housing facilities and the cafeteria. "UCO has made significant improvements to the resident's halls and the cafeteria area," Wooten said. "And we still need to make improvements. The increases will generate the revenue that will allow us (UCO) to continue to make necessary repairs and upgrades." Wooten said another reason for the increase was rising utility costs. "UCO has realized an increase in maintenance and utility bills because the dorms are not energy efficient."

By Ann Jayne StaffWriter Students returning to UCO after Spring Break will discover a temporary change on campus. Instead of the dull, dead grass sprinkled with green weeds, they will find yellow grass with no weeds. The entire campus will be sprayed with herbicide over Spring Break.

company who keeps the campus weed-free. Moore said Spring Break is a great time to spray. "There's minimal student intrusion, which makes it (spraying) go faster for us," Moore said. Moore and his crew will spray a pre-emergence herbicide for weed control. He said it will take all week to spray everything. The pre-emergence will prevent weeds from growing, and kill weeds already present. "Any weeds there will be eradicated at the same time," Moore said. So why will the grass be yellow? Because there is a dye in the herbicide. Moore also thinks if people see yellow grass, they may not walk on it. "It's more of a marker for us so we know what we've sprayed. Students won't want to get it on their shoes and then get it on their carpet," Moore said. The herbicide and dye are not harmful to humans, so passersby won't have to worry about becoming ill. "A dog would have to drink about 600 gallons of the dilution to have any toxic effects, and it still wouldn't be lethal," Moore said. "Humans would have to drink about 1800 gallons for there to be any effects." Even though the herbicide is toxic to weeds and basically harmless to people and animals, Moore said it does have an odor. "Some people say it's irritating. It's not a pleasant smell. It's like driving by a sewer plant," Moore said. Acu-Lawn takes care of UCO's campus year-round. Moore said they do about six different types of applications throughout the year. The majority of it includes applying fertilizer and spot-spraying for weeds. The pre-emergence is the most noticeable because of the yellow dye. UCO may have yellow, stinky grass for a few days, but soon, thanks to Acu-Lawn, it will be lush, green and weed : free.

GIFTS Continued from front page with it and since it did not pass we will live with it, too," Webb said. Webb also said the reality is, UCO must compete for funds. And in order to do that, we must sometimes "wine and dine" government officials. "We occasionally invite a legislator to a function," Webb said."They appropriate money to higher education and naturally we welcome them to come on our campus to see what we are doing to help them understand that we are worthy of being funded. "Higher Ed. has to compete, vigorously, in a fight for limited, scarce resources. If we don't tell our story and tell legislators our story, then we lose the battle." Jarrod Marcum-Noftsger, assistant vice president of student services, said he believes the bill is a waste of time and that legislators are overreacting. "I think the whole proposal was some type of knee jerk reaction," Noftsger said. "Elected officials need to interact with the student body on

campus. It might even seem insulting to invite the governor to a banquet or something and say 'hey, pay $10."' Sullivan, the father of the bill, said even though the bill is important to students, it is very unpopular with legislators. "It's a needed bill," Sullivan said. "The students are paying for too many perks that are not going to the students and are going to other people and I think we ought to stop doing that. "They (institutions of higher education) are pumping stuff around, plus there are all kinds of administrators and other state officials out there getting tickets and other free goodies and it ends up being several million dollars a year. "When I am broke, I don't run out and give away gifts. You tighten down the belt and try to make a profit." Sullivan said he will continue to campaign for the bill, but he does not think it will be heard in the future. He said the only way it has a chance of passing is if he finds some other bill and sticks it in as an amendment.

"We are some of the highest paid legislators in the United States. I just don't know why we should get free tickets to anything. If they are going to accrue anything, it should go back to the taxpayers." Gary Howard, head coach of UCO's football team, said he does not believe HB 1007 effects his program. He said, as far as sports are concerned, the bill is probably designed for the "big boys" in Norman and Stillwater. Even with the success of the UCO Bronchos last year, Mike Kirk, assistant athletic director and media relations director, said giving away free tickets to government officials is not a big occurrence. He said if UCO has a program to give tickets away, he is not aware of it. "We are not going to keep any record of that," Kirk said. "It would be a one time deal to one game and sure, we would give them (government officials) a ticket. It's not anything that happens on a regular basis, we don't just hand out bunches of tickets or anything like that."

Making marriage work well subject of program tonight If students have questions about subjects, professors can usually answer them. But students who want answers about marriage questions will have another teacher to learn from March 2. Dr. James Orton, former University of Tennessee professor and marriage counselor, will host a program about the commitment of marriage at 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of Murdah Hall. The

program is sponsored by the UCO Residence Life department. "He plans to place some thought-provoking ideas on this subject and expose some helpful advice in selecting a compatible partner for life," said Michael Lowery, East Hall residential advisor. Admission to the program is free and all students, faculty and staff are invited.

Student sues for misspelled tattoo UCO students who are planning to get tatoos, may need to consult their dictionaries first. A Wayne State University student wishes he'd used a dictionary before he let an artist tattoo the word "villian" on his arm. Lee Williams, 23, didn't notice the misspelling until a friend made fun of him, according to court records filed Feb. 24. Williams is seeking $25,000 damages against a parlor named Eternal Tattoos. To

cover up the mistake, he had plastic surgery, which cost him $1,900 and left him with a "scar as long as his forearm," William's attorney, Paul Clark, said. Williams got the tattoo - which should have read "villain" - in 1996. Before the procedure, workers at the parlor argued over how to spell the word, Clark said. Williams wasn't sure either.

Chaddlesone art featured at fund-raiser By Trent Dugas Stairtitriter On Feb. 27, UCO will host an art exhibit to raise funds for the Sherman Chaddlesone Arts and Lectures series. The fund-raiser is to maintain financial backing for the lecture series so they can stop relying on money from other organizations and departments like the English Society, Multicultural Student Services and Newplains Review. The exhibit, featuring work of Sherman Chaddlesone and his wife Allie, will run until March 12 is slated for the Donna Nigh Gallery in the University Center. Evelyn RomanNose, English department secretary and coordinator of the lecture, said she is trying to raise money so the series can become more popular, and to let students know the series has been at UCO for four years now. "It would be nice to have something to rely on instead of

soliciting every year and not knowing if other organizations can contribute with the program," RomanNose said. Gwynne Hunter, English professor and director of Newplains Review, said Newplains Review was sponsoring the fund-raiser because they realize the importance of local art work and what Native American art can do for students. "We were the ones who first recognized Chaddlesone," Hunter said. "The fund-raiser is for the lecture series, which was set up to bring people from various

ethnic backgrounds to the university and speak to the humanity classes." Hunter also said Chaddlesone is a Native American artist that recognizes the need to sustain the culture of the Kiowa group. Other sponsors of the fundraiser are Multicultural Student Services, Phi Alpha Theta national honorary society, the UCO English department, Creative Studies Writers' Institute and Arcadia Inn. The Sherman Chaddlesone Arts and Letters Lectures are set for April 8, and will include guest speakers.

Faster Internet2 revealed; new lines lead to tech boom By Reid Kanaley CollegePressWriter An ultrahigh-speed "Internet2" was introduced in Washington last week with promises of big-screen interactive video, the end of fist-pounding download delays and uses yet to be invented. For now, however, the $500 million system is only for experimental use by universities and industry researchers. Everyone else will have to wait. The benefits of Internet2 will not trickle down to the common, salivating Web surfer for a few years, at least. And though it will make possible Internet connections tens of thousands of times faster than a 56K modem, Internet2 will not do e-mail or the World Wide Web. What it will do, its backers hope, is spark a generation of innovations - what e-mail and the Web were to the current Net - to dazzle in the 21st century. "We're just about to see another explosion of interesting technology," promised David Farber, a University of Pennsylvania professor of computer science and a member

of the advisory board for Internet2, Tuesday. Penn is one of 140 universities lined up to connect to Internet2, which is based on a continentwide, 10,000-mile fiber-optic cable loop dedicated to the project for three years by Qwest Communications International Inc. of Denver. The cable, or backbone, has been dubbed Abilene, after the Kansas town that served as a cattle transit point for the Old West. "It's the new frontier of networking," said Greg Wood, spokesman for the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development, a Washington-based group coordinating the roll-out of Internet2. Government agencies, telecommunications and cable companies, and others in the private sector have been racing to set up newer, faster Internet services, so Internet2 is not the first revision of cyberspace to hit the ether. But with a data-transfer speed of 2.5 gigabits per second on the Abilene backbone, it is one of the fastest.

UCO scored their lone run in the first inning after a pair of singles, a walk, and an error brought Dustin Faulk across the plate. The Mules used a homerun and a grand slam in the

seventh to finish off the first game. In the second game, CMSU scored first on a homerun in the third. UCO answered with a six-run fourth, as they batted all the way through the line up. The Bronchos used four singles, a double, a triple, and a sacrifice fly to make the score 6-1. The Mules added one in the top of the sixth, and the Bronchos plated four in the bottom of the inning to make the final 10-2. Dustin Yowell went 5 2/3 innings and struck out nine as he improved to 3-0 on the year. Justin Knowles went four for four to lead a 21-hit attack that carried the No. 7

Bronchos over the No. 8 Mules. The Bronchos improved to 8-3 with the rout. Knowles led off UCO's half of the first with a double as the Bronchos opened with six straight hits to take an early 4-0 lead and a 7-0 advantage after two. CMSU got within four in the top of the fourth, but UCO answered with four more runs in the bottom of the frame to pull away again and eventually ended the scheduled nine-inning contest the 12-run rule in the seventh.

UCO biology major condemns cloning

reation and destruction. Erin }lignite, senior, is very concerned that we are getting closer to- creating something that could destroy humanity. She's worried about nuclear weapons, but that wasn't the issue of our discussion last Friday. Erin was more interested in the potentially devastating effects of cloning. "We should pass laws banning cloning," Erin said. "It should be looked at the same as nuclear war. We could end up killing ourselves." For her, the issue of cloning is a moral one. Erin, 24, is a Christian. She is concerned that we don't know enough about the intangibles of the human condition to consider cloning people. "We don't know about the soul?'

she said. "We don't know if the clones would have souls, or even how the brain would work It would be a different person, so it could have a totally different identity." Experimentation that has been done so far only reinforces Erin's doubts. The first successful cloning experiment didn't produce a creature with a soul. 'Dolly was only a sheep." Though she's a biology major, the idea that we don't know what to expect from a cloned human doesn't intrigue Erin. "Cloning people should be off limits," she said. "There's not a 100 percent guarantee cloning would be good for society?' Like nuclear weapons, Erin is afraid the ability to clone humans could fall into the wrong hands. "I don't think the knowledge of cloning is something everyone

should have," she said. "We could make a new army to fight our wars?' Such an army, made up of individuals without souls, would be expendable, Erin said. She also was not convinced such an army would only be used by the 'good guys.' "Who's to say whose hands are right and wrong?" she asked. The idea of an army made up of soulless robots sounds like something from a science fiction novel. Erin thinks it was such tales of fantasy that were truly behind the cloning experiments. "I think it was done to be futuristic, to see if they could do it, like in the books," she said. Erin does not disapprove of DNA research, but the resources used in the cloning experiments could have been used for something more practical, she said. "We should not even clone body

parts. We should encourage organ donation and use what we already have. We shouldn't shun the use of pig hearts and things like that. Those transplants have been getting more successful," she said. I asked Erin about the concept of cloning people so they could live beyond their normal span of years. "The cloned cells would be the same age as the ones taken to be cloned," she argued. What about freezing your cells when you're young, then thawing and cloning them when you're old? "You're not going to live past your time," Erin said. -There would just be two of you on Earth. You should make a name for yourself while you're on this planet and not depend on a clone to do it when you're gone?' I can't argue with that. Carpe diem.

What of the idea of professional jurors: trained to be objective, schooled in logic, and therefore much less vulnerable to clever attorneys? 3) Finally, the green beans compared with guns bit is cute, but any philosophy professor would call it a false analogy. When someone comes for me please let him be armed with green beans rather than a gun.

may em The Washington Post recently reported that Monica Lewinsky wants to "apologize to the country for the yearlong political ordeal triggered by her affair with President Clinton." Although some of the public may believe in the Monica-as-a-victim theory, it is incorrect. Monica is not the victim here—the country is. Clinton's actions were reckless and stupid, coming from a man who should have the moral character to know better. Monica's actions were just as reckless and stupid, coming from a naive young woman who had a misdirected sense of love. Monica is quickly becoming a celebrity for her illicit affair with the world's most powerful man. ABC is set to air an interview with Lewinsky and Barbara Walters; and Lewinsky recently inked a deal with a British television station paying her $660,000 and 75 percent of the distribution sales of an upcoming interview. And don't forget, "Monica's Story" Andrew Morton's new book about Lewinsky, is coming to bookstores soon. It seems that we are rewarding Lewinsky's inappropriate actions with the one thing that most of us hold dear—money. As a country, we are sending out the message that sex with a married man is OK. In fact, we will reward someone with fame, notoriety and money for being unscrupulous. If Americans are beginning to accept this behavior as decent, appropriate and well-mannered, then we are the ones who should be apologizing.

Pujan Roka /The Vista

UCO residents catered to, commuters punished ...Last semester I was asked to participate in a poll that asked how I felt about the convenient parking at the new library. Well, right now, the answer to the question on a scale of one to five would be about -15. The University of Central Oklahoma is a commuter school. "Commuter" means that the majority of its students drive to and from the school for class. More students driving means the need for parking, especially considering the fact that the same board that just cut parking on the west side of campus in half saw the completion of the huge addition to the library. Ah, here another dichotomy arises—bigger library (not to mention (the) new

Education Building), less parking? Go figure. Not to mention the fact that the parking lot was also used by math and science students and nursing students who have lived with inadequate parking for years. Another consideration in this dilemma is this: where are parents and visitors going to park during graduation ceremonies? What about people attending football or basket ball games? Thank God they don't have the fireworks displays over there anymore. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I fully agree that the university needs new dorms. After having helped find lodging for people attending a conference

Professors announce conflicting salary statistics In a recent story appearing in The Vista, citing figures from the Office of Planning and Analysis, it was stated that "the average income for UCO professors (meaning "full professors" or the top of five ranks) in 1998 was $55,841." The national average for professors was cited as "$61,839." According to the AAUP Annual Faculty Survey appearing in Academe in March/April 1998, full professors at UCO made $55,200 on average in 1997-8 and the

average salary for all full professors nationally was $69,867 nationally. This means that at the top rank, full professors at UCO made approximately 79 percent of the national (average) in 1997-8. —Dr. Thomas E. Guild professor of business law and Dr. Kathy Terrell associate professor of accounting —

and a seminar, I know that the condition of the dorms is bad. My question is why couldn't they have located it in another place, say the parking lot out by the fire station? The majority of the students have been penalized by a committee catering to the

minority of students who live on campus. This seems to be an unsolvable problem in the near future, unless, of course, these foresighted individuals' are planning to tear down the old Administration Building or Old North. So I guess

my whole point in writing this is that I hope the next time a major decision is made by the upper levels, they just might consider the majority of the students rather than the minority. Please. —Jana Cline
