"We are encouraging the students to have a good time next week but do it in a safe way," Chapel said. "Don't take a 15 minute interval that could change your life forever by not being very smart or by drinking too much or by having your body pierced in an unsanitary fashion or by using any type of drug or alcohol in an

abusing manner."

On Wednesday of the Safe Spring Break Week, 23rd Street Body Piercing will be on campus to lecture about body art, body piercing and to encourage safe procedures.

Also on Wednesday, the Counseling Center will present a computer program called Alcohol 101, which is a virtual reality computer program that shows students the effects of alcohol with a virtual bar scene with virtual conversations.

The 23rd Street Body Piercing lecture will be at 1 p.m. on Wednesday in the University Center.

Room 312.

Alcohol 101 is

at 2 p.m. in the University Center, Room 320B and will also be in computer labs in the Liberal Arts Building and Evans Hall.

y using the new recycling bins located in the parking lot east of Wantland Stadium, environmentally conscious UCO students now have the opportunity to reduce the size of landfills.

The bins, which will be available for use 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, are being paid for by Keep Edmond Beautiful, a local organization dedicated to the reduction of roadside waste and the implementation of recycling programs.

Only tin and aluminum cans, newspapers and telephone books, and plastic containers imprinted with a 1 or a 2 on their base may be deposited.

Betsy Davis, representative of KEB, encouraged all UCO students to begin recycling their garbage.

"A lot of people think, 'I'm only one person. It won't make a difference if I don't recycle.'

RHA's 24-hour visitation policy not on regents' agenda

By Steven E. Wedel Staff&Vtit2r ou probably wouldn't like it if you gave your mom money for candy and she told you she was taking the money but not giving you the candy. That's how many students living in UCO's residence halls feel this week.

Students living on campus recently voted to assess a $30

y

per semester fee increase in return for a 24-hour visitation policy in the dormitory lobbies.

The money was meant to offset the costs incurred in hiring 24hour desk clerks and improving security measures.

UCO administrators did not include the RHA recommendation on the list of items sent to the state regents for consideration. The administration did, however,

submit a request to raise housing fees by just over $30, prompting criticism from some students.

In a letter sent to dormitory residents, Nicholas Harrison, Residence Hall Association president, said, "Essentially, this means that students will be paying an additional $30 per semester. However, none of this revenue will be used to fund the items which we requested when

we endorsed a $30 per semester housing rate increase..."

Harrison said the administration did not ask for input from student leaders before making this decision.

"In fact, we were not even given the courtesy of being informed that the proposal had been pulled from the agenda of the Board of Regents," Harrison

On March 6 at Broncho Lake, Lauren Bodkin (right) attends the "Children's Festival" sponsored by the Student Programming Board.

Lauren smiled as a clown gave her a balloon shaped like the character Tigger from the children's story Winnie the Pooh. Along with clowns, the festival had a moon bounce, story readers, and arts and crafts to entertain the children.

To ensure that people do not deposit anything that contain chemicals, which could render the entire batch of recyclable materials unusable, all deposits will be overseen by a volunteer.

Davis encouraged any student wanting to

volunteer their time to the Edmond community to work at the bins, overseeing the deposits.

The bins will be emptied every six weeks, or when they become full. The contents will be taken to America Recycles, an Oklahoma City plant that will sell the contents to companies that manufacture recycled products.

Prospective Student Services round up record recruits

By Trent Dugas Statratretes Prospective Student Services (PSS) is taking full credit for record-breaking numbers in UCO enrollment.

Stacy McNeiland, director of Prospective Student Services, and the rest of her crew has admission applications up around 288 percent compared to this time last year.

McNeiland said she is proud of PSS's accomplishments and commends the increase in enrollment directly to her seven person staff and the year-round efforts they put forth.

"That is an amazing feat," McNeiland said. "I really do credit the fact that our representatives are going more places and seeing more students."

Recruitment happens "on the road," McNeiland said. PSS visits over 500 high schools each year and visits over 225 of those schools at least twice.

But it does not end there. They visit larger high schools such as Edmond, Westmoore and Putman City schools three to four times a year.

They also visit over 15 Oklahoma community colleges, all in the name of recruitment.

Free speech rights raise issues for professors

By Kim North Shine

CollegePressitisiter

F

ree thought and selfexpression have long been associated with college campuses, but some educators are struggling to balance freedom of speech with a person's expectation not to be offended in the classroom.

Professors especially are

minding their words for fear a student will take exception, complain and bring on disciplinary, if not legal, action.

They are worried and rightly so. It's a delicate balance between what some people may consider a hostile environment in the classroom and academic freedom," said Iris Molotsky, spokeswoman for the 44,000member American Association of

University Professors.

"We have to be much more aware and make sure the students we're teaching are comfortable."

A Macomb Community College student said she found English professor John Bonnell's classroom so uncomfortable she filed a complaint against him in November. On Feb. 3, the college suspended the 59-year-old professor indefinitely.

TAX ADVANTAGED SOLUTIONg FROM 'TIAA-CREF

The student, whose identity is "The First Amendment does being withheld by the school, protect the right to say things said Bonnell regularly used foul people don't like; that's what it's language.

hink about supporting yourself for twenty-five, thirty years or longer in retirement. It might be the greatest financial test you'll ever face.

Fortunately, you have two valuable assets in your favor: time and tax deferral.

The key is to begin saving now.

Delaying your decision for even a year or two can have a big impact on the amount of income you'll have when you retire.

What's the simplest way to get started?

Save in pretax dollars and make the most of tax deferral. There's simply no more painless or powerful way to build a comfortable and secure tomorrow.

SRAs and IRAs makes it easy.

SRAs — tax-deferred annuities from

TIAA-CREF — and our range of IRAs offer smart and easy ways to build the extra income your pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. They're backed by the same exclusive investment choices, low expenses, and personal service that have made TIAA-CREF the retirement plan of choice among America's education and research communities.

know more about what college is really like - particularly high school students - can get a better idea by checking out the new site, where Web Dormers "chat" with viewers on a regular basis and post journal entries about their ups and downs. ("I got back with my girlfriend. Hopefully it will work out this time," one entry from a Web Dormer calling himself "Dog Boy" states.)

UCO Broncho tennis teams found alive and well in 1999

By James Gutzmer SportsEditor CO tennis teams are looking good for the upcoming 1999 season despite the loss of a twotime national champion on the men's side and some newcomers on the women's side of the courts.

The UCO men lost Charl Bornman, a four time AllAmerican and two-time national champion, to graduation.

However, the Bronchos are still setting their sights on a fourth straight trip to the NCAA Division II national tournament in May. UCO is returning a pair of â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Staff photo by Negeen Sobhani seniors this year. Karl Levanat Michael Jones leaves the ground to and Bobby Armstrong will lead return the ball in doubles UCO. competition on Friday.

Armstrong is a four year

U

starter at UCO with a winning record of 19-9 in singles and 2011 in doubles last year.

Levanat is two-time doubles All-American who teamed up with Bornman for a 29-5 record.

UCO men return four starters from last season Armstrong, Levanat, Aldo Zerega, and Michael Jones.

Zererga had a 19-7 record last season in singles and a 21-10 record in doubles.

The Bronchos also picked up freshman Adam Clayton from Sydney, Australia, Pablo Mayorga from Bogata, Colombia, and Zulkarnain Lim from P. Siantar, Indonesia.

The UCO women's team will be lead by two veteran players and bolstered by two new faces in hope for a return trip to nationals.

The Bronchos also return Sharon Lauver, Michaela Perlikova, and Leticia Lovada, Perlikova was a doubles AllAmerican last year, teaming with Vnouckova for a 17-3 record and she was 13-5 in singles play.

Lauver had a 23-13 record in singles and a 23-9 in doubles.

Lozada went 19-9 in singles and 14-3 in doubles last season.

The Bronchos boast two new players in 1999. Marina Erchova, a freshman from

Moscow, Russia and Jill Woodard a junior college transfer from Burleson, Texas will be key players for the Bronchos.

UCO opened their season this past weekend with dominating performances by both the men and women.

Francis Baxter will coach the Bronchos for the 29th straight seasonfor the men and 19th for the women. Baxter has led both teams to the NCAA Division II national tournament last year, with the men advancing to the quarterfinals. UCO's women won their first ever Lone Star Conference title.

The Central Oklahoma softball team dropped a twinbill against Southeastern Thursday March 4, losing the first game 5-8 and the second 6-7.

In the first game, the Bronchos trailed the Savages until the sixth inning, when Jami Akin hit a grand slam to put UCO ahead 43. Southeastern answered UCO's rally with a five-run seventh to stifle any chances of a comeback.

Chasidy Horton did smack a solo homer to make the final 8-5.

Horton led the Bronchos at the plate going three for four with a double and a homerun, while Akin's grand slam gave her four RBIs. In the second game, the Bronchos jumped out on top, as

they put two runs on the board in the second inning. Southeastern scored three in the third. UCO added one in the bottom half of the inning to tie the game at 3-3.

With UCO leading 4-3 in the sixth, SEOSU scored one to tie.

The Bronchos came back to score two in the bottom half of the inning to make the score 6-4.

The Savages again had a big seventh inning as they scored three to walk away with a 7-6 victory.

UCO out hit their opponent 12 to 10, with a number of Bronchos having a good day at the plate.

Taralee Pringle was two for three while Melissa Foster, Chasidy Horton and Jame Akin all collected two hits in four at bats. Staci Dickerson also contributed two RBIs with a homerun.

Columnist: Pass the salt folks; I'm eating crow

By Steve Wedel Columnist There are a bunch of crows flapping around on this campus. I reckon no one but a few vegetarians will mind if I eat one of them.

I've been pretty hard on UCO's president Roger Web, in the last few months.

Sometimes, as a columnist I get so excited about stirring the pot of controversy, or righting what I feel is wrong, I forget the first rule of journalism—news is not about events; it's

STEVE* SAYS about people caught up in events.

I had a chance to sit down with President Webb last Friday.

We talked about several things, including my tendency to "blast the president."

Fortunately for me— for all of us—President Webb is a good man. He told me a lot of things I didn't know; and more importantly, he reminded me that I need to look at all sides of the issues.

He has to consider all aspects of UCO and make the decisions he feels will be most beneficial. I believe he is honestly doing that.

Do I agree with all his decisions? I'm only eating one crow; I intend to remain a vocal advocate for the interests of commuter, or non-

R

traditional students.

But I'll remember that whether I agree or not, President Webb is doing what he feels is best for UCO. And I believe that he's

considering every group when he makes a decision that affects this school.

But I do hope that in the future, President Webb will let students know about big 7 proposals such as a fitness center or But I'll new dorms before remember that we read in the whether I agree or community papers that these things not, President are done deals.

UCO students and instructors are arguably some of the most intelligent people in metro Oklahoma. Unfortunately, though, many are not bright enough to think before they speak.

Every day students and professors get angry at some minor unplanned event or circumstance. And rather than using their superior intellects to recognize the minor problems for what they truly are—minor—they blow up and start cursing, name calling or verbally attacking those around them.

Students and teachers who do that are often over-stressed, perhaps because of midterms or other life problems. Being stressed is a proper response to having six midterms in a week or four backto-back classes to teach.

But calling someone names, or exploding at your students is not a normal response. It's the response of an uneducated person or a two-year-old child.

We at UCO are not children —even if we sometimes act like them. Next time you get mad, use your brain and not your mouth for a change. Think before you speak.

Pujan Roka /The Vista

Theatre student says Vista staff too busy to get the facts So The Vista wants help, huh?

Well, I've got your help right here.

You say that the Vista staff is busy and that you don't leave out events intentionally.

Well, I can buy that. What I don't understand is why your staff is too busy to get all of the

facts.

As a senior Theatre Arts major nearing the end of my third year at UCO, I can't count the number of times our department has had articles written with incorrect information.

Case in point, this last issue with photos from our production

cauail makes Prestigious Apartment Living just minutes from UCO

of "The Cherry Orchard." Two out of the three photos had incorrect captions!

How hard is it to keep track of the names of three people? This wouldn't be so bad if it was the first time, but I have never (repeat, NEVER) seen an article about the theatre department that

was 100% accurate.

Now, I know that the Vista doesn't do this to the theatre department intentionally.

I can only assume that it has happened multiple times to other departments, as well.

I understand that mistakes will slip through the cracks every so often, but it should not be happening this much!

The Visa is a student newspaper. However, it is also used as a training ground for students who plan to have careers in journalism.

Don't you think you're sending them the wrong message when you let them repeatedly

print incorrect information without correcting it?

Don't you think that the journalists should get ALL of the required information before going to press? Let's not prepare them all for careers with the Daily Oklahoman.

One more thing, you say that your staff is extremely busy. I see, busy reprinting College Press articles, half page ads, horoscopes, and of course, the real Voice of UCO, the editorial page.

Joe Di Bello Senior, Theatre Arts

Ebony Choir's 'Millennium' was positive experience In last Thursday's Vista, I saw the most delicious picture of the Ebony Gospel Choir singing at the "Visions of the New Millennium" program, but there was no column supporting it.

Excuse my tardiness, but here is the column.

For those looking for that oh so elusive positivity at UCO, it was bursting, out of Constitution Hall during this event of awesome music, pantomime and dramatic skills.

Between each act, a mock board of newscasters expressed the state of African-American culture (and American culture as a whole), and proposed solutions, most of which pointed toward strengthening the family through faith in God. Want more positivity? Observe wonderful events like this on our campus.

Cheating is fine, as long as you tell your girlfriend

By Kelly Garry

Once you catch your breath, what do you do? That's what we CollegePressfiliter wanted to find out.

It's the stuff sitcoms, soap operas This week we asked students the and senate trials are made of — following question: If someone cheat, retreat and entreat. It's the "It you're in a relationship with cheats was a mistake, I want to be with on you and then throws himself at you and it will never happen again" your mercy, would you take him waltz. back?

"It was a mistake. I want to be with But, in an interesting twist, you and it will never happen again." everyone agreed that a lot depended

IT'S ARRIVED

on how they found out about the mistake. Most students said if their significant other was the one to tell them — in a timely and contrite manner — it would be tough, but they would be more likely to take them back.

However, if they found out through friends, family or on the six-o'clock news, they would be more likely to call it quits. Here are the reasons we received from students this week: "It depends on the length of time," says Jonathan, a junior at Kansas State University.

Not length of time of the relationship, but how much time has passed between when he found out about the event and when the person came back to him.

"It takes time to heal," Jonathan says.

But what if it was just a dumb one-night stand?

"If they were up front about it, yeah, I'd take them back. It would be rocky but if someone else told me there wouldn't be much of a

chance," said Jonathon.

For Kim, there wouldn't be much of a chance either way.

"It depends but probably not," says Kim, a senior at the University of Minnesota, when asked if she would take a cheater back.

Kim has never been in the situation herself but she believes it would matter how she found out.

"It depends on the circumstances," she says.

But, she says, more than the circumstances, it's how she found out that matters to her.

Stephanie, a junior at Oklahoma State University, found out when her boyfriend — who is still her boyfriend — told her about it. (The details are classified.)

"Did they just kiss them once?" she asks.

Let's say they slept together.

"That's it!" says Stephanie. "It would be over. But if they just kissed. Then I'd take them back."

To Stephanie, the circumstances surrounding the infidelity aren't as important as to what degree the

person was unfaithful.

"It definitely depends on how crazy I am about her," says Matthew, a Saint John's University grad, "And whether or not I'm cheating, but yes, I'd probably take her back.

"It would make things easier if she told me — that's what happened with Anna," Matthew says.

In that situation, Matthew was willing to take Anna back.

"I generally think if you're in a halfway decent relationship, you take them back and pay more attention," says Matthew.

Unfortunately, in this case, Anna only came back for a short while before they split up for good.

So if your partner owns up, should you take her back? Spin the wheel and take your chances — It's the Dating Game.

QUESTION: When will you get married? Will you be 22 or 43?
