Senators pull surprise no-show as organization funding passes

By Stacy Brasher

116 student senators, only 45 are left to represent a student body of 13,000.

Early this academic year, student organizations were forced to elect a senate representative if they wished to receive funding for the 19992000 school year.

Now that funding allocations have been passed, senators are disappearing left and right.

"Because we did not explicitly state that a senator must be in position year-round in order to receive the funding they were allocated, we can't do very much about it this year," said Senate President Pro Tempore Jarrett Jobe.

"But we will have legislation in the works very soon to keep this from happening again next year."

Last semester, the senate adopted an attendance policy, stating that organizations whose senator missed more than ten meetings a year (five per semester) would lose their seat in the senate for the remainder of that school year.

Nowhere in the policy does it state that losing a seat after allocations are made would result in that organization losing its 1999-2000 funding.

So as the meetings continue, senate attendance is slowly dwindling.

Thirty-six senators have not attended even one out of the seven meetings held this semester.

Fourteen senators have been present for only one of those seven meetings.

All 60 of those senators are over the five absence rule for this semester. This leaves only 46 senators to make the decisions now.

A resolution requesting the athletic department decrease their reliance on university and student activity funding passed the UCO Student Association (UCOSA) Senate Monday.

The resolution suggests 14.3 percent be cut per year for the next seven years. This action would eventually lead to funding self-reliance in the year 2007.

The legislation suggests the creation of an athletic association that works to gain "non-university, non-Student Activity Fee funding for the general athletics, tickets, events

and operations."

The act states that UCO's athletic program is currently funded by $294,282 (23.8 percent) of the 1998-99 Student Activity Funds.

It also states athletic scholarships are funded by $186,000 (15%) of the 1998-99 Student Activity Funds.

The proposal would not take from the scholarship funding, but suggests the $294,282 be continuously cut over the next seven years, until the athletic department is solely dependent

The allocations passed by UCOSA Feb. 22 cut funding from only 22 of 70 student organizations.

The funding cut ranged from as little as $30, to as high as $8,510.

"We took out money that groups had specified for donations, such as the President's Club's Christmas party, and we also cut when a group did not specify what the money was to be used for," said Jason Vaughn, chairman of the senate's Appropriation Committee and vice-chairman of the General Conference Committee on Appropriations.

Continued from front page upon outside sources of funding by the year 2007.

Community and corporate sponsorships are suggested as possible outside funding options.

Dale Archer, UCOSA speaker of the house, wrote the bill.

"I'm not against athletics, the athletic program or the administration in any form," said Archer.

"I think if we develop an athletic association, a fan club, a booster club and alumni, we can grow the sports program because they won't have to rely on the Student Activity Funds, which fluctuate because of enrollment."

Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon did not want to comment on the resolution until he had a chance to talk with President Webb about the budgets.

"The decision is ultimately

his concerning what amount of Student Activity Fee money is allocated to athletics," said Wagnon.

Archer believes that by slowly decreasing the amount of Student Activity Fee money given to the athletic department, the university would be able to focus that money into other areas.

"There's only a certain amount of money, and when you cut the pie up, there's going to be something cut adversely to something else," said Archer.

"I would like to see it (the extra money) go toward campuswide programs... or to student organizations," said Archer.

The Student Activity Board could determine what campuswide activities would receive the extra funding, said Archer.

Professor: UCO secretaries underpaid

By Jarrod Briley StatiWriter

A

faculty member voiced concern Friday that current UCO policies are causing some staff members to have larger work loads than others, and to receive pay that is far below the market standard.

"It seems to happen most with secretaries," said Dr. Katherene Terrell, associate professor of accounting.

"UCO depends on them a great deal. They have highly responsible positions and they are not well compensated."

Being paid less than secretaries at other universities is only one of Terrell's concerns.

A secretaries' income is determined by the dean of the college that they work at, often resulting in large pay discrepancies between secretaries doing the same

year," Terrell said.

"The administration needs to decide how many people a secretary should serve and allocate an appropriate amount of money."

Terrell said that there is often not enough money to pay for the number of secretaries that a college needs, but said UCO depends on them a t h a t great deal. They have highly administrators should find ways responsible positions and they to re-allocate are not well compensated. current funds, making it — Dr. Katherene Terrell possible to hire associate accounting professor more secretaries.

"The problem Secretaries also have greatly is that not having enough differing work loads, Terrell money is always the answer to everything." said.

However, Terrell was not Some secretaries work for several professors at the same sure how such a re-allocation time, while others work for one would take place, or if it was or two professors. However, even possible.

Unlike the staff at UCO, both secretaries are paid the whose salaries are determined same.

The budget for each college is determined by the dean of the college.

Some deans may allocate large sums of money for paying their secretaries and other deans may allocate very little.

Student volunteers needed to work with at-risk children

By Trent Dugas

Stattlifriter

A

ll volunteers please step forward.

Dr. Mary Monfort, professor of curriculum and instruction, is looking for students to represent themselves, their careers and UCO in a program to help the youth of Oklahoma City.

The program, called UCO Community Partners, is part of the Innovative Project program on campus.

UCO Community Partners is asking students to volunteer their time and services to "atrisk" children in "at-risk" neighborhoods.

"What we are doing is placing students into sites in Oklahoma City," Monfort said.

"These sites are given to us by the Institute of Child Advocacy and we are working in conjunction with them. They give us the sites and we place the students. The students provide community service and their time."

The volunteers will go to schools, churches, and youth serving agencies to counsel and tutor. Students will help tutor in reading, math, speech, hearing and special education.

Their counseling for the youth includes areas such as violence, alcohol, sexual activity, eating disorders and anger management.

Monfort said the chance to help the youth is a challenging experience that helps fulfill a student's need from within and helps fulfill their career needs.

"I always tell my students that when they apply for a job and give them their résumé, this portion of the résumé sets them apart from other people," Monfort said. "This humanitarian act tells the person who's looking at the résumé that this is a special person who cares for other people and is willing to donate time to other people."

Monfort said she is a witness to the response UCO students have after volunteering, and is

convinced this program is a valued tool.

"The students have loved it and that is what has excited me The students have about this program," Monfort loved it and that is said. "They have come back to what has excited me me and said 'thank you for about this program. giving me the opportunity' and it has been an experience that they never had before."

—Dr. Mary Monfort Gary Ervin, elementary Curriculum and education major and past instruction professor volunteer in the program, said he was thrilled with the program Ervin said he worked with a and the interaction with second grade girl at Capitol Hill children.

Elementary who was selective mute and would not talk to anyone except her mother.

He said he helped her make her first entry into her school journal, work with computers and encouraged her to draw and color. He said the enjoyment of helping her express herself and watching her learn was immeasurable.

"It was wonderful, I really enjoyed it," Ervin said. "It was a real learning experience because we will have children like that in our classroom when we are

actually teaching."

Monfort said UCO will have a class this fall semester called "Community Services." It will deal with the same situations of helping children in the community.

Monfort said her and Dr. Judith Munter, associate professor of teacher education, will teach the class.

The first month will be classroom work, and the remainder will be field work.

For more information, call Dr. Monfort at 974-5711.

Graduate student recalls her anorexic youth

eople want to slim fast, and sometimes fast to slim.

Eating disorders, commonly manifested in the form of anorexia, adversely affect the lives of millions of Americans, driving those affected to starve themselves so that they may achieve the allusive "perfect body."

In order to remain thin, an anorexic eats miniscule amounts a food, often just enough to keep them alive.

Cindy Arthur, a graduate student and dietetic intern at UCO, knows first hand the physical and emotional wars that rage in the mind and body of a person with an eating disorder.

"My life consisted of

counting calories — the calories I consumed and the calories that I expended — and that was about it," Arthur said.

"I first realized I had anorexia when I was a senior in high school. I didn't menstruate for almost a year."

Concerned that something was seriously wrong, Arthur's mother took her to a doctor.

"At first the doctor said that was normal, because I was active and ran a lot. But another three or four months went by and I still wasn't menstruating, and the doctor said, 'OK, now we have a problem' ."

Although Arthur's doctor diagnosed her with anorexia, she was unwilling to accept that she was suffering from the disease.

Denial is a common response of people diagnosed with anorexia, Arthur said.

year and a half before I was able to say to myself, 'OK, I have anorexia.'"

As difficult and troubling as it was to accept that she was suffering from anorexia, Arthur was worried most by the thought of gaining weight.

Her sense of self-esteem had long been defined by her emaciated body.

"I had gained weight over the summer, and when I went back to school, I was so amazed that people still talked to me.

Anorexia was my identity, it was who I was."

As Arthur continued to gain weight, her anxiety began to increase. Although she was physically much healthier than she had been in years, she continued to view herself as overweight.

Encouragement from her friends made the problem worse.

ANOREXIA Continued from Page 4 and I felt like I had a class called eating disorder 101.

Several times a week I was going to counseling, I saw a dietitian at least once or twice a week, and I was always in the clinic getting my blood drawn to make sure I was OK." Over the course of many months, Arthur was able to redirect her dedication to dieting into positive activities — educating children about good eating habits is one of her favorites.

People with eating disorders are very determined. It takes a lot to get yourself that thin and stay that thin when you body is screaming at you to eat," Arthur said, furrowing her brow to stress the point.

"People with eating disorders are very determined. They just need to learn to redirect their goals."

Even though close to 90 percent of people suffering from

such eating disorders are eventually cured, the unfortunate remainder become the victims of a disease that is, in large, media and stereotype driven, Arthur said.

"The average size of a model is 5 feet 10 inches tall and 120 pounds. The average size of a typical woman is 5 feet 4 inches tall and 145 pounds."

Although the media are not likely to begin using averaged sized women in their ad campaigns in lieu of the petit socialite look, Arthur believes that with parental guidance and support, the negative effects of the media's influence on society can be reduced.

"If young children do not have the parental support or guidance that they need, they are going to look to the mass media to tell them what they should look like in order to be accepted into society."

Woman says President raped her WASHINGTON - Just 12 days after his acquittal on impeachment charges, President Clinton faced dramatic allegations Wednesday by a woman who accused him in a national television broadcast of raping her in Arkansas 21 years ago.

Juanita Broaddrick, 56, said in an interview on NBC's "Dateline" that Clinton, who was then the state attorney general and running for governor, assaulted her in a Little Rock hotel room. At the time, she was a volunteer in his campaign.

Though new to many, the Broaddrick story lurked behind the scenes during Clinton's recent impeachment proceeding. FBI interviews with Broaddrick were not made public or included in the formal impeachment charges, but they were examined by House members and may have influenced the final vote.

In recent days, pressure had been growing on NBC to air the interview with Broaddrick, which was conducted more than a month ago. As NBC delayed broadcasting the allegations, a number of newspapers jumped in over the past week and published the story themselves.

Courts: Title IX coverage can not apply to volleyball

By Jan Crawford Greenburg CollegePressiVnier WASHINGTON — Rejecting an argument by an Ohio woman banned from playing collegiate volleyball, the Supreme Court Tuesday refused to expand the scope of certain federal antidiscrimination laws.

The unanimous ruling was a victory for the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which was hit with a sexdiscrimination lawsuit after it prohibited Renee Smith from playing volleyball. Smith argued that the NCAA should be liable under a federal education law that prohibits sex discrimination in "any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

The NCAA gets no federal money directly, but Smith argued it was subject to the law, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, because it gets dues from colleges that receive federal aid.

That argument, if adopted, could have had an enormous impact.

Had the justices agreed, it

could have meant a host of other entities, such as vendors or other athletic associations, also were covered by the law.

Those entities also could be subject to lawsuits under similar laws that prohibit discrimination in federally funded programs based on a person's race, age or disability.

But the justices swiftly rejected the argument, in a ruling that came just a month after the case was argued.

"Dues payments from recipients of federal funds, we hold, do not suffice to render the dues recipient subject to Title IX," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the court.

"At most, the association's receipt of dues demonstrates that it indirectly benefits from the federal assistance afforded its members.

"This showing, without more, is insufficient to trigger Title IX coverage," she wrote.

NCAA President Cedric W. Dempsey said the organization, which has 1,200 member schools, was pleased with the ruling.

Students exp'ain fhe points behind body piercings

By Andy Dehnart CollegePressWriter Love 'Ern Or Hate 'Ern, Body Piercings Make A Point STETSON, Fla. (CPX) - To establish identity, some folks wear clothes from the trendiest stores, splash themselves with an array of scents, plaster their vehicles with bumper stickers, and load their bookbags with buttons declaring their pet causes and politics.

But perhaps the fastest way to get noticed in the '90s is body piercing. Driving metal studs and hoops through bellybuttons, ears, eyebrows, nipples, noses, tongues - and a few other places where the sun doesn't shine - seems to grab attention these clays like few other things.

Experts say the reasons people poke multiple holes in their bods are as varied as the parts they have punctured. But more often than not, they're looking for a way to express themselves, said Donald L.

Sanz, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist and director of the Counseling Center at Stetson University.

As with choosing clothes, people pierce themselves to stand out but to also identify with others who are doing the same thing, he said.

"It's a very interesting juxtaposition between rebellion" and making a statement, he said.

"Some folks display their piercings to shock people, others use them for sexual stimulation, and still others

hope their hoops "attract members of the same or opposite sex (or) send a signal about their sexuality," Sanz added.

There is a group of holey folks health car e professionals fret about: Those who are addicted to selfmutilation. They go far beyond average body display, covering themselves with tattoos and multiple piercings because of feelings of anger or self-hatred, experts say.

"That's the part (where) we have to be most concerned when people are hurting themselves," Sanz said.

Myrna Diaz, a junior at Texas A&M, said she doesn't know much about all the psychobabble that goes along with the tongue ring she got for $60

about a year ago. Diaz said she would send shivers down many got the stud because she simply folks' spines.

She said she got her "tummy wanted to break a bad habit.

Review seeking student scribes

By Trent Dugas StaffWrifer

T

he Newplains Review is looking for a few good writers who think they have what it takes to be published.

The English Department in the Liberal Arts College at UCO publishes a book of essays, nonfiction, short stories, interviews, poems, photography and art featuring writers from every walk of life. This years edition of the Newplains Review is titled "The Challenged."

Gwynne Hunter, director of the Newplains Review and lecturer of English, said "We are constantly looking for good information and good selections up until the point when we send the book to the publisher."

Hunter said the publication's authors are about 80 percent UCO students and the rest are submissions from every corner of the globe.

"We don't want to be considered a local publication," Hunter said. "So we send our calls for submissions to other regional colleges and universities."

"About 60 percent of the work in each issue is generated by the staff of the Newplains Review.

The staff goes out on a particular project and they write it or they solicit people who will write it, Hunter said.

While the price tag to make the publication is $12,000 to $15,000, Hunter said it gets harder and harder to make ends meet. She said as with most departments on campus, the Newplains Review's budget has decreased over the years.

"We do not get a big enough budget to publish an issue every year, it cost too much money," Hunter said.

"We have never been given enough money in the past seven or eight years, so we take about half of what it would cost out of this year's budget and half out of next year's budget and combine them."

This is the only way they can afford to print the 1,000 or more copies of each issue, Hunter said.

Salaries for the graduate student employees working on the staff of the Newplains Review also come out of the budget.

Hunter said having the students on staff is critical in the publishing process.

"Our cost and what we sell the book for is pretty much a wash," Hunter said. "We are not here to make a profit, though I wish we were. But the students would not learn all the processes because to be able to learn what is out there in publishing you've got to deal with the idea of low budgets."

"Marketability" is the key to publishing success, Hunter said.

The Newplains Review is trying to be more marketable by becoming more of a regular book by a regular publisher, instead of a "student journal."

All issues of the Newplains Review are in bookstores such as Borders, Full Circle Bookstore, the University Store. The Newplains Review also remains a member of the Rocky Mountain Publishers Association.

Kimberly Ryan, UCO graduate student managing editor, and graphics coordinator of the Newplains Review, said the experience for the undergraduate of working on

staff goes far beyond the college credits earned.

"One of the big selling points that I tell everyone is they actually have a position within an organization set up like a corporate publishing group and they can use that on their résumé," Ryan said."

Hunter said she encourages everyone on campus to submit something, whether it be writing or art, and see if the chances of getting published pan out.

"What it does for UCO students is multifold," Hunter said. "It gives the students the opportunity to learn skills that are used in the publishing industry and gives the students the opportunity to be published, and that's a big deal, a real big deal."

ave you ever been seduced by a really slick movie preview that features a hip, young cast and a cool soundtrack? Have you ever laid down good money to see that movie, only to find out that the preview was best thing about it? "200 Cigarettes" (Paramount) is just that kind of movie.

"200 Cigarettes" takes place on New Years Eve 1981, and follows several

groups of revelers on their way to the same party.

There are the two Jersey girls who get lost and meet up with a couple of punk rockers delivering a mysterious package.

Then there are the two female predators, hunting for a man to ring in the new year with. And there are also the two friends unsure of their feelings for each other. And let's not forget the actor and his clumsy, over emotional, preppy girlfriend.

And the list goes on.

At some point in the movie, everyone takes a ride in a disco love cab, driven by Dave Chappelle, who serves as the intersecting point of the different story lines.

And finally everyone arrives at the party, only to find the hostess passed out. The next morning reveals who went home with whom. What happens during the party, however, is shown only through a series of photos during the closing credits.

"200 Cigarettes" seems to have everything going for it. An all-star cast

Aries (March 21-April 19)— There are several squares in effect today.

That's when the moon or a planet is at 90 degrees to another one, causing a blockage in the energy pattern. Today, we're going to have one in communications and hard work.

Something you say is likely to be misunderstood, or a job might have to be done over again. Be careful.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) —Pay attention not only to what you're doing, but also to what the other people are doing. Your intuition should be excellent right now. You can also trust your education. Skills you've been learning recently can be put to good use. Don't wait until you've got the credentials.

Gemini (May 21-June 21)—Today could be a challenge, and not just for 04 V14% you. Looks like it starts

out with a breakdown in communication. This is not all that unusual, actually. But today, you might be amazed to see how big a gap there is between what was said and what was heard. Keep that in mind if you're giving any kind of instructions or orders.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Things that were easy yesterday could go awry today, so don't take anything for granted.

Make sure the people helping you understand what they're supposed to do. A breakdown in communication would be the most likely cause of an accident or glitch in the work schedule.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -. " '44, ' —Proceed with caution A, today. A simple tc,to misunderstanding could get blown out of proportion. If there's money involved, it's even more likely to happen. Best not to sign any ,r,

contracts today for just that reason.

You could be thinking the contract says one thing, while the other guy thinks it says something completely different.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. like 22)—Looks somebody has pinned their hopes and dreams on what you can provide. Not to worry.

You're very good at what you do. Go ahead and accept the applause as readily as you do your own criticism.

Take credit for something you've done well and don't be the slightest bit nervous about it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)— You're probably i about ready to let your Lam hair down. Just be careful where and when. You don't want to go out of character in front of the wrong audience, and you sure don't want to make fun of somebody you were just kissing up to. That's always in poor taste, and today it could cause you to lose everything you've

recently gained.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)— Finish old stuff —0'7 today, rather than SCOAP10 beginning new. Looks like there's going to be a stumbling block that you can't really plan for. As you know, the only difference between a stumbling block and a steppingstone is perspective. You can turn this to your advantage, but it might take a little thought.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21)— You have an interesting weekend ahead of you. Take extra care to go over every • step ,of your agenda carefully. Check everything on and off your list. Ask others if everything that needs to be done has been done, then follow up and make sure. The more thorough you are now, the more relaxed you'll be this weekend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22Jan. 19)7-You could come up with a brilliant

idea today, something so obvious you wonder why you didn't think of it years ago. And it's so crisp, so clean, so appropriate, you might even be able to patent this gizmo, market it and make a fortune. If there's any possibility that it could really happen, definitely write it down.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—You could get a bonus today, but be 694.14 V careful. If you spend it on something that's good for the home and family, you'll prosper. If you spend it on anything else, you won't.

Don't squander your resources on things that won't last.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)— There appears to be a fly creeping into the ointment later today.

Hopefully it's not something broken that has to be fixed, and costs more than you thought it would. So be careful, especially around machinery.

Yo_u probably ought to take your car in for an oil change.

Who says there is nothing to do at UCO???

In the opening match, UCO was defeated 6-1 by Tyler Junior College, last lear's national junior college champions. The lone win against TJC came when Sharon Lauver downed Lindsay Tayntor in a close 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 match.

UCO golf set to tee off

By Ryan Haley SportsWriter The eighth-ranked UCO golf team is set to open the 1999 season next week when they go to New Braunfels, Texas to compete in the Texas Lutheran Classic.

The 54-hole tournament at the Bandit Golf Club will play host to approximately 20 teams over a two-day period.

The tournament will tee off at 8 a.m. Monday when teams will play 36 holes.

Tee time will also be at 8 a.m. Tuesday, and teams will play the remaining 18 holes.

The Bronchos return four starters from last year's squad which won one tournament and placed second in six others. UCO had a good fall season which was punctuated by a championship in the first Rolex National Intercollegiate Match Play Team Champioships.

The Bronchos will be led this year by MaCrae Brunker, a junior and Steve Jodlowski, a sophomore both from Edmond.

Brunker had 75.0 scoring average last year and was an honorable mention AllAmerican. This fall he

maintained a 73.8 average and finished in the top 13 in three tournaments.

Jodlowski was also an honorable mention AllAmerican last year, and he earned NCAA Division II Freshman of the Year honors as well. His scoring average was 74.3 last year and 73.8 in the fall as he recorded three top 15 finishes.

Tosh Hayes, a junior from Edmond, also returns for the Bronchos. Hayes started in every tournament except one last year, and he had a 76.1 average in the fall.

Tyler Willey, a sophomore from Edmond, earned a starting spot late last season, then had a 73.3 average in th fall with a runner-up finish in one tournament.

There are five starting slots to fill on the team with Brunker and Jodlowski holding two of those. Hayes and Willey will compete for the other three spots with freshman Matt Norgaard (Rochester. Minn.), redshirt freshmen Dan Drake (Loredo, Tx.) and Dustin Semsch (Edmond).

Sophomore transfer Matt Morgan of Cushingwill also compete for a spot on the team.

Columnist writes mush about UCO professors

D

uring the break between the Fall 1998 and Spring 1999 semesters, I was asked by a professor why I never write anything nice in my column. The answer is pretty simple; when I write complimentary prose, it always reads like mush to me.

However, I've decided to use my space today to write some of that mush.

I won't graduate until December, but the very thought that this is the year has made me look back on my UCO experience and think about the highlights—or rather, the people who made them highlights.

When I first came to college as a 29-year-old freshman, I had no idea what I was doing. I just took classes that sounded interesting.

That's how I ended up in Dr.

Gladys Lewis's 4000-level American Novel I class at 8 a.m. on a Monday morning. I had no idea how to write a research paper, or even what MLA style was. Dr. Lewis had the right to roast me alive for taking her class before I was ready.

But she didn't. She wouldn't. I don't think she could. The woman is a saint. She told me what was expected in the class and how to do it, and she clued me in on MLA style so I could do it right. She taught me a lot about American novels, too.

Then there's Dr. Linda I'm glad I came to this Steele, another English school where so many of professor. I almost have a minor in Steele-taught the instructors think the courses now. students come first.

In my first class with her, I crossed Dr. Steele by criticizing Stephen Crane's novel, The Red Badge of Courage. She came right back at me and shamed me ;h:::7,KgriNEFFFM,NMEN:

into voluntarily writing a paper on why I didn't like the book. That was a valuable lesson in thinking of ways to back up what I think before opening my mouth.

The professor who's responsible for today's mush is Dr. Ron Beeson of the political science department. Though I like to discuss politics, I went to his American National Government class very reluctantly. I expected another one of those classes where the professor feeds the students information and expects them to vomit it back at him.

Dr. Beeson made us think for ourselves. In his class, you could have any opinion you wanted and he'd give you the opportunity to express it. If you said it, however, you better be able to back it up. He made his class one of the most enlightening required courses I've had so far.

These three professors epitomize what I think all college

professors should be. They are good people, they are devoted to their fields of study and they want their students to succeed.

They certainly are not the only good professors I've had. I chose to mention them today because of my experience with them and because they teach classes that are requirements for all UCO students.

I've heard several transfer students talk about how the professors at the big universities see students as a distraction to their own research time. I'm glad I came to this school where so many of the instructors think the students come first.

Finally, at a time when this university is trying hard to compete with the bigger schools, I hope the quality of our instructors won't suffer the way our parking lots have.

Okay, I had to get one shot, didn't I?

Student's ignorance about cloning concerns computing science professor In a recent column, Steven Wedel aired the concerns of Erin Hignite, a senior biology student, about cloning. Ms. Hignite displayed an appalling ignorance of cloning. She seems to have gathered her knowledge from B movies instead of her biology classes. She does not even understand the basic procedure of cloning as she clearly demonstrates when she states that "cloned cells would be the same age as the ones taken to be cloned." A clone is simply an organism with the same genetic DNA sequence as another.

A clone is not a "copy" of an

individual. Individuals have memories. A clone is produced as a baby that must be raised (not grown in a vat as B movies show).

Even if it had many of the same experiences, it would not think like the original. In fact, there are many natural born clones walking among Us today, they are called identical twins. I have not heard anyone claimed that twins are evil or do not possess souls as Ms. Hignite fears for clones.

Another of her fears is an army of "souless" clones. How would. such an army be constructed?

What would the point be? There

are legitimate moral concerns about human cloning such as, creating intentionally brain damaged clones for organ transplants. But, I don't hear anyone advocating this. What about some of the great benefits of cloning? Such as, hope for infertile couples? Is cloning research going to made illegal because of the ignorance of people like Ms. Hignite?

Student says columnist is greatest source of negativity I am writing in response to a rather humorous plea from The Vista. It was a plea to discontinue negativity. It was a call to the students to think positively and quit inundating The Vista with continuous negative letters. Well, I challenge The Vista. It seems the deepest negativity being printed right now is penned by one of its own employees, Mr. Steven Wedel. Each article he writes degrades some race, orientation, religion, or creed. So, if The Vista wants to wash away negativity on the UCO campus, I applaud them with the greatest sincerity. I would

certainly be a willing student to anything positive brought to our establishment of learning. I just think in order to convince the students that negativity should be removed from the campus, the "healing" process should begin "at home."

Good luck Vista. We know Steven Wedel is around to stay, so we assume that you will figure out that the negativity is, too.

e neea your inpu Everyone is busy. Students, faculty, staff and administration all have a lot to do. The same holds true for the staff of UCO's student voice, The Vista.

We know we have missed covering some events on campus. It wasn't intentional, it wasn't done maliciously. Often we simply don't have the staff to cover all the activities that need our attention. Also, a lot of thitigs happen that we don't know about.

So, we wait to take this time to remind you that we need input from you the students, faculty, staff and administration of UCO. If you know of an event that you think should be reported, or know of someone on campus who has made some noteworthy accomplishments, or is just interesting, we want to know about it, too Of course, we can't promise to cover every frat party or every chemistry experiment. We have to decide what events are most newsworthy and can be covered by a staff of reporters who also have classes and often other jobs.

To make sure we know what you want to see in your newspaper, please call us at 974-5915, e-mail us at thevista@hotmail.com, fax us at 974-3839, or drop by the office, Room 107 of the Communications Building.

Former student commends UCOSA's control of money I am writing as a proud alumnus who has watched the campus and university blossom during my years at UCO and in the years since my departure. Things seem to be moving in the right direction and the sutdent, faculty, and administrative leadership appear to be constantly improving.

I want to point out what I think has been a major factor in the progression of campus life, which is the monumental decision to give students control over part of their activity fee monies through the student association (UCOSA). Although it seems to be simple logic that students should control "student activity fees" it has not been an easy policy to enact. It has taken four years, four student body presidents, and two university presidents to make this vision a reality. I want to commend the student government leaders and the administration for their roles in what has been a worthy struggle. Particularly, I think President Webb should be

commended for having the courage and foresight to actually place confidence in the hands of the students.

The initial policy allowed UCOSA to appropriate approximately 15 percent of the entire student activity budget. Although this is an incredibly significant leap from the responsibilities bestowed on previous student governments, it is only a fraction of the $1.2 million student activity fee budget.

Recently, the university continued to progressively move the campus in the right direction by agreeing to increase the student level of control from 15 percent to 17 percent. Increased student control of student activity funds and particularly further investment in student activities is a good thing. Thank you President Webb for empowering students and believing in their ability to self-govern.
