UCOSA cuts activity fee; all organizations affected By N. David Owens

Staffririter The UCO Student Association (UCOSA) is cutting all student organization budgets in anticipation of a two percent decrease in activity fee revenue, according to UCOSA documents. UCOSA's estimated $19,700 budget cut will absorb 50 percent of the student fee decrease, according to UCOSA documents. "The question is, would we like an-across-the board cut, or micro-managed cuts," said Jarrett Jobe, UCOSA president. "All of the leadership was in favor of an acrossthe-board cut," Jobe said. "It is better for everyone to receive a small cut than to totally phase out some organizations," Jobe said. Airplane tickets and travel expenses are two main areas for cuts, Jobe said. Sending a person to a conference is good for that

person, but a party on campus serves hundreds of people, Jobe said. Not all student organizations receive UCOSA funds, Jobe said. "International and multicultural student organizations have their own separate budget," Jobe said. "Greeks traditionally never accept student funds since (they can limit who becomes a member)," Jobe said. "If you limit membership like that, I do not feel it is appropriate for you to be funded," Jobe said. Jobe is a member and former officer of the Greek society ACACIA. Additionally, many student organizations fail to produce a senator to represent them, or they raise their own funds, and do not feel that they need UCOSA funds, Jobe said. ".If you want to raise funds for your organization...we encourage that. It helps students, and encourages campus life," Jobe said.

There is opposition to the distribution of this budget cut. "The recommendation asking student organizations to absorb 50 percent of this shortfall when they only receive 13 percent of the budget is inconsistent with previously established precedents of fairness and equity," said UCOSA Senate Resolution 99-202. In this resolution, the Senate requested that the cut be applied to all areas of the student activity fee budget, not just student organizations. The student activity fee budget pays for athletics and other university programs, in addition to student organizations funded by UCOSA. Critics argue that UCOSA-funded organizations are unduly burdened with this budget shortfall, while non-UCOSA-funded areas such as sports and sports scholarships, international and multicultural activities and scholarship pageants will have minor cuts.

bue to an improper drainage system, these fields Just north of Broncho Lake are prime soil for such water crops as RICE and BERRIES.

UCO has a drainage problem between the Business Administration, the Liberal Arts and the Communications buildings. We're talking cranberry bogs. We're talking rice paddies. UCO could cultivate that small tract of land and feed the resident student population for a month. After a good rain or the sprinklers have been on, the grass clippings float into curvaceous patterns on the surface of the temporary ponds. The beautiful patterns stay until the next wetting.. The lawns are wonderful. Green spaces are at a premium in today's cities, and the university does function as a miniature city. Greenbelts are in municipal improvement plans. Property values go up in areas with green spaces. Trees would drink up the water that remains on the lawns. Flower beds and shrubbery would add visual interest to the campus, as well as root systems to contain the soil. With the UCOSA budget cuts, campus organizations are being encouraged to hold campus-oriented projects. What better project than a planting to honor the club or advisor? Does your club advisor really need one more oak plaque on her wall? Wouldn't an oak be cherished longer? Invest in real growth and put plantings on the campus.

Oops... Asian Night student organization left out n the article 'Asian Night Celebration continues espite delays; event honors Lunar New Year' (The Vista, Feb. 17) the organizations that sponsored the activity was named. Unfortunately, one organization, the Indonesian Student Association, was overlooked.

The front page of the Feb. 29 issue of the paper carried a picture of the Dragon Dance performed during the Asian Night celebration. The cutline beneath the picture identified the organizations that held the event. Again, the same organization was forgotten. The Vista apologizes to this organization for neglecting to

include them in the event's billing. The Asian Night Celebration was held on Feb. 26 and was sponsored by the Indonesian, Japanese, Malaysian, Hong Kong, Thai,Chinese, Asian American and the Buddhist Learning International Student Societies. The Vista apologizes for this mistake.

Dance team cheerleaders sit it out for a season By Allison Franklin

Sta[Miter The newly selected dance team of the Oklahoma Wranglers arena football team was left with little to cheer about Feb. 24 when the Wranglers season was canceled before it began. The season's cancellation was a result of the Arena Football League's failure to reach a contract agreement with its players. Five UCO dancers were selected from 156 girls to join the 12-member dance team.

Lynsey Bergren, Kristi Blackburn, Andrea Gesell, Abbi Rinderknecht and Sara Wilson were the UCO students chosen. All are members of UCO's pom squad except Blackburn, who is a member of the Kaleidoscope dance troupe. Twelve spots were available on the dance team. The other seven spots were filled by former and current Oklahoma University pom squad members, said Tammy Skinner, director of the dance team. Although the girls will have n o players to cheer for, they will

continue to practice and will function as the official Wranglers dance team until February of 2001, Skinner said. "They [all the girls] are real positive. Now we will have more time to prepare our routines," she said. The girls planned to perform

The dance team will still be making different corporate apperances and will participate in community service at nursing homes and hospitals. -Tammy Skinner Dance Team Director

A panel of judges, comprised of three community leaders and three professional dancers, selected the top 25 girls to advance to a second audition Feb. 16.

UCO wrestling captures titles in regional tournament

ission accomplished on the first part of Central Oklahoma's post-season wrestling goals. Now it's time for the main event. The No. 4-ranked Bronchos entered Sunday's NCAA Division II Midwest Regional looking to win the team title and qualify at least seven individuals to the national tournament. UCO did both, capturing four individual titles in claiming its 11th consecutive regional crown and advancing nine wrestlers to the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships set for March 10-11 in Brookings, S.D. "Obviously our goal going in was to qualify all 10 guys, but as tough as the regional was this year we knew it was going to be a challenge to get seven or eight into the national tournament," UCO coach David James said. "We wrestled extremely hard, stayed focused the entire day and did what we came here to do." The Bronchos finished with 169.5 points in the one-day, nine-team tournament, 21 points of runner-up and No. 11rated Central Missouri State. No. 14 Moorhead State and host and No. 8 Wisconsin-Parkside tied for third with 107 points. UCO got individual crowns from 141 Joe Schneider, 149 Gable Sullivan, 184 Muhammed Lawal and heavyweight Jeremiah Constant, while 165 Jody Marple and 197 T.J. Tallent both finished second. The Bronchos also got third-place finishes from 125 Mark Dodgen, 157 Nathan Gomez and 174 Tony Realmuto, with 133 Matt Dodgen taking fourth. The six finalists earned automatic berths into the national tournament, with Mark Dodgen, Gomez and Realmuto earning wildcard spots into the national meet. "It was a tough regional, but I thought our kids really responded and we won some big matches we had to have," James said. "We've put ourselves in position where we can be a factor at the national tournament and that's been our goal the whole season." Schneider knocked off top-seeded and nationally No. 2ranked Brad Kieffer of Truman State 6-4 in overtime to capture his first regional title. Schneider, who dropped a 20 decision to Kieffer three weeks ago, got the winning takedown 50 seconds into the two-minute overtime.

Sullivan capped a dominating, three-fall tournament with a second-period pin of Southern IllinoisEdwardsville's Nathan Graumenz. The Bristow junior, who sat out an injury hardship year last season after winning the regional crown and earning All-America honors in 1998, escaped early in the second period to break a scoreless tie then took Graumenz down to his back for the —Staff photo by Chieko Hara fall in 4:58.
