Search for new VP of academic affairs continues By Lisa Tatum StaffWriter
T
he search for UCO's next vice president of academic affairs is drawing to a close as the top seven candidates continue their presentations in public forums in the Troy Smith Lecture Hall in the College of Business Administration. The forums are the final part of an extensive on-campus interview process,
said Dr. Fred Grosz, chair of the selection committee in charge of making a recommendation for the position. "This is an opportunity for the campus community to see the candidates and observe them in a short presentation," said Grosz. He said the seven-member committee began meeting the first part of April to review the 37 applications submitted for the job.
After intensive meetings, the committee narrowed the candidates to the following seven applicants: •Dr. Roger Gill, provost and vice president for academic affairs at East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Penn. •Dr. Don Betz, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Bettendorf, Iowa

dministrators who are trying to attract potential students by demonstrating how their brains will benefit by coming to UCO need to read this. You might have a better time lassoing new students if you appeal to a different part of their anatomy; Namely —their rears. Let's get to the bottom (pun intended) of the issue. UCO students across campus have noted that the toilet paper available in most bathrooms is too scratchy, too flimsy and not worthy of use. They say no amount of wadding, folding or rolling the pieces makes the UCO TP an enjoyable product to use. And they note, with reddened cheeks (of the facial variety) that the tissue issue is rubbing them raw—they want softer wipe. UCO officials claim switching to a softer variety is simply too expensive because of budget cuts—up to ten cents per roll or more. But isn't the happiness of all students—including the horde of high school seniors who visit the campus yearly to inquire about enrolling—worth 10 cents? Many students think so. And prospective students, who could bring thousands of additional dollars to the campus probably feel the same way. If asked, they'd likely say they would want the best toilet paper the school could afford. After all, it's their money which is paying for the hiney hankies. So administrators, think seriously about the issue; there are no ifs ands or butts about it. Do you want hundreds of new students and the money they can bring? Then be unique. Appeal to something no other Oklahoma university seems to care about— . their bottoms.

LETTERS
International student office unfair, student charges I am an international graduate who feels that it is unfair and ludicrous for the International Student Office to force international students to pay their mandatory insurance several months in advance if they wish to pre-enroll for classes. In the past, international students could take advantage of priority registration like othei students and pay their insurance by the first day of classes, and be on time with their payment. Now that the International Student Office's policy has changed, there will be no such thing as preenrolling for international students, unless the money is coughed up several months earlier. Tuition payments are not expected several months in advance, so why are insurance payments? Perhaps if an insurance policy has expired, a student should be expected to pay for a new policy in April. This is not the case, though. My insurance, for example, expires in August. Thus, I am covered until then. However, the International Student Office has chosen to pump $225 out of me right now, and if I don't, I am barred from enrolling early. This problem should be a top priority. I realize that this is a complicated situation and that there are students who do not pay their insurance on time. However, this is not a valid reason to
make things difficult for all international students, including those who make their payments on time every semester. Mr. Daneshfar, international student advisor, ordered me to come up with a solution to the problem of students making late payments, but am I responsible for doing his job? Isn't that why he has the title of international student advisor? The International Student Office should work together to make things better, not WORSE, for the 1,500 international students contributing to the financial welfare of UCO. I am deeply hurt, saddened and just a tad disgusted with Mr. Daneshfar and the entire International Student Office. I personally will not recommend individuals from other countries to attend a university that does not see anything wrong with putting obstacles in our way and making it a nightmare to simply enroll early. I hope the president, vice president and other concerned officials of the university have the duty to straighten out this injustice. There are many international students who would like to stop worrying about this situation and start enrolling for classes today.

Multicultural groups not just for minorities
T
his letter is addressing all UCO students. Although I am only a freshman and have only been here for one semester, I have noticed that there is a lack of non-minority participation in the various multicultural organizations and events held on campus. This is true for the lack of attendance in clubs such as the Souls for Christ Gospel Choir and the Black Student Organization itself. These organizations are not
limited to Africa-Americans only. We encourage students of all races to attend these meetings and would like to see a more diverse membership. I hope that in the future students will not feel discouraged to get involved in campus activities simply because the events are sponsored by a group that they are not associated with. —Jameshia Hurd

UCO sociology professor was taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon, April 28, after falling in the Liberal Arts building and injuring his back. Dr. Richard Rettig, lecturer, was taken to Oklahoma City's Mercy hospital after falling near the staff offices on the second floor of the building. He was checked for broken bones and treated for back muscle strain, but is not expected to be released until sometime this week, according to a secretary in his department. Rettig was also complaining of chest pains Wednesday and is being monitored closely_ , the secretary said. Students, faculty and staff can send cards to him at the hospital, Room 215. Eyewitnesses said Rettig was heading toward his office when he tripped over a red runner carpet strip, which sits between the south hall and the staff offices.

Monkey lab fined for safety violations ATLANTA, Ga. - The U.S. Labor Department fined a primate research center at Emory University $105,300 this week for safety violations connected to the death of a 22year-old lab assistant who died from herpes after being splashed in the eye with a monkey's body fluids. The department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center for 10 violations, including one charge of willfully jeopardizing the employee's safety by failing to provide her with protective eye and face gear. OSHA said the center also failed to adequately train its workers about the dangers of exposure to the monkeys' body fluids. After the assistant's death, six other employees reported similar splashes in the face that could have resulted in infection, OSHA said. Elizabeth R. Griffin died in December, less than two months after she was infected with herpes B while helping to move a monkey cage. She was wearing gloves, a lab coat and a surgical mask, but not protective glasses at the time. —College Press Service

S
tudents in the College of Liberal Arts recently had the chance to showcase their works. Now it's time for students in the department of human environmental sciences (HESCI) to shine. The HESCI department, an extension of the College of Education, will host the first ever Practicum and Internship Symposium at 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 6. It will be in Ballrooms A and B of the University Center. The department encompasses the family and consumer sciences, family and child
development, fashion marketing, interior design and nutrition and dietetics disciplines. The symposium will serve as a reflection of the best achievements of UCO students this year while also offering students the chance to seek internship opportunities. Symposium coordinator Lori Beasley, human environmental sciences assistant professor, said all students interested in the five disciplines which involve the human environmental sciences department are enco'uraged to attend. Administrators, faculty and staff are also welcome. "In the undergraduate catalogue we describe our

While this is the first actual symposium, this is not the first time students' works have been displayed. Beasley said each descipline of the human environmental sciences department has held their own mini-symposiums yearly. "We've been wanting to put them together for a while. But it took us a while to coordinate our classes and dates," she said. "I think this will be exciting." <

MDA camp in Guthrie needs volunteer counselors By Wendy Werber Sludent1441kr he Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) needs volunteer camp counselors June 6-12 or June 27-July 3 at Central Oklahoma Christian Camp in Guthrie. MDA is looking for 100 counselors who are enthusiastic and sincere, but are not required to have experience with special needs children, said Amy Anderson, MDA camp director.
Applicants are interviewed , references are checked, and a police background is done. You have to be at least 16 years old to volunteer. MDA camp has been very successful with its 20th year this summer, said Anderson. Campers come from all over the state of Oklahoma. Each camp counselor has their own child 24 hours a day. "Counselors become the children's arms and legs, and a friend and companion that assists and encourages," said
Anderson. Anderson describes the camp as "non-stop fun." Some activities include horseback riding, fishing, boating, dancing, talent shows, and carnivals. "So many people tell these children every day that they can't do this because they are in a wheel chair, but at camp things are adapted to make it possible," said Sunshine Cowan, senior counselor for MDA camp. Cowan, a community health
major, has been a counselor for MDA for seven years, and decided her major after going to camp. She hopes to open her own camp for special needs children in the future. "I plan my whole year around camp. It has touched my life like nothing else, it's hard to put it into words," said Cowan. MDA camp lasts two weeks and is divided by age. One week is ages 14-21 and the next week is ages 6-13. MDA is especially in need
of male counselors because they are harder to find, and majority of the campers are males, said Anderson. Volunteering for MDA camp looks excellent on a student's resume, said Anderson. "It goes beyond looking good on your resume, everyone is touched after being at camp," said Cowan. MDA is taking applications until the end of May. To volunteer, call the Muscular Dystrophy Association at (405) 722-8001.

Student aid money to be disbursed earlier By Lisa Tatum Staff
J
uggling finances may get easier for UCO students who rely on federal financial aid thanks to the efforts of a campus-wide task force. Beginning this summer, students will no longer have to wait weeks into the semester to pick up their financial aid checks. Those who receive Pell, SEOG, OTAG and Perkins grants will receive their funds the first day of classes, said
Evelyn Wilson, dean of enrollment. Students need Students used to wait until the fifth week of the fall or their money to spring semester to receive live. They can't federal moneys.

rather a consensus among UCO staff that the students needed more. "UCO is very empathetic to the financial needs of our students," said Drew Duke, UCO's bursar who served on the 15-member task force. "This change in policy reflects our commitment in meeting those needs." Wilson said the switch reflects a trend at schools across Oklahoma. "More schools are moving toward first day disbursement," she said. "OU
and OSU both offer it." The transition to the new date of disbursement won't be easily achieved, said Wilson. The Financial Aid Office and the Bursar's Office will work the entire weekend before classes start June 8 preparing checks for the students. Making the money available to students sooner will mean they no longer can charge books against their Pell Grant at the University Bookstore, said Wilson. Instead, they can purchase books from the bookstore of their choice. <

Graduates of UCO's math and science program in the 1960s70s, who have been involved in NASA's manned space program, have been invited to attend the day-long celebration in their honor. "These 12 were graduates from the 60s, went to NASA and were instrumental in the manned space program," said Dr. Ronald Miller, chairman of the physics department. "Our students have been invited to write down questions for the alumni to answer during the student forum," he said. UCO Alumni that have been invited to participate in the activities include: • Jimmy Beaves, 1964 graduate with a B.S. in math.
• Harold Burks, 1958 graduate with a B.S. in physics. • Philip Charlton, 1966 graduate with a B.S. in physics/math. • J.J.

Tapest UCO art professor wove memories during years of teaching By Kelly Crow GuestWiliar
Jo Ann N. Adams' home is littered with bursts of creativity. Enormous fabric sculptures of frying pans, sagging computers and Chinese letters bubble up like so many artistic stalagmites on the living room floor. She must step carefully or risk ruining the work of a future Claes Oldenburg. Over on the third floor of the University Center, the Donna Nigh Gallery she manned for more than 11 years has just wrapped an exhibit featuring art by Special Olympians. "Those are my favorite shows because those students are so thrilled to win awards and see their work exhibited," she said. And tucked in the basement of the library sit a dozen weaving students huddled over looms, chatting quietly with their
Jr.
easy-going professor as they slide their shuttles through rows of bright, fibrous threads. This is what Adams will miss most when she retires from her tenured position as fiber arts and weaving instructor at UCO this July. Not the 8 a.m. classes, the endless committed meetings or the juried art shows she got to busy to enter. It's her students— serious, passionate, and patient—who have given her the most memories as she heads into "the September of my life." It's a whimsical way to end a career for someone who once screamed, "I will never teach school." The declaration was directed at her mother, an art teacher for 38 years in the McAlester school district who felt her daughter could easily follow in her footsteps. But back in the early 1950's. Adams knew her budding interest in art would

I had 95 hours of art in my bachelor's and not a single one in education," she said, grinning. "So he says, 'Well, maybe you can teach art..." He took a chance on her, and she spent three years there before moving back to Oklahoma and an art teaching position at Moore High School. She also taught at Putnam City High School until 1974 when she came to UCO. The university atmosphere was a great change form the hallways of high school, but she didn't forget the one issue she had struggled with as a novice teacher—mainstreaming. The new trend in education involved bringing special-needs children

lead her into the advertising world rather than into a classroom. She was right—for a while, anyway. Graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 1955, she took her advertising design degree straight to a hob with state health department. Though hired for her design abilities, she also dabbled in a bit of lobbying
on Capitol Hill. Adams continued to do freelance design work when she and her former husband moved to Fort Smith, Ark. in 1961. It was here that her mother's predictions began taking shape, and somehow Adams found herself applying for a teaching job at Darby Junior High School. "I can still remember

Affirmative action in universities challenged By Christine Tatum Collegehyls WASHINGTON A Republican congressman from California who wants to end affirmative action in college admissions across the nation amended his controversial proposal this week to make it more appealing to people who might have voted against its original version. The House of Representatives has delayed until early next week consideration of Rep. Frank Riggs' bill, which would bar
colleges from giving preferential treatment to applicants based on their gender, race or ethnicity. Riggs' bill, as originally written, would have required private women's colleges to admit men and private colleges in general to drop their affirmative action programs. In the revised version, Riggs proposes that the legislation affect only public institutions. (There are no more public, single-sex colleges in the United States now that the Citadel in South Carolina and Virginia Military Institute
Skinheads attack students, say reports MOSCOW - The U.S. Embassy in Moscow is urging American students traveling through the Russian capital to exercise caution following reports that neo-Nazi groups may have attacked some foreign students. According to news reports, embassy officials have said that skinheads have threatened Africans and Asians, particularly near Moscow universities that
enroll large numbers of foreign students. Last week, officials said a group of about 20 people severely battered two Asian women, neither of whom was identified as American. Moscow police told the Associated Press that their foreign-relations division is planning to meet to discuss ways to prevent the violence.

accept women.) The updated version also includes a section stating that it is the "policy of the United States" to encourage more women and minorities to seek higher education. The amendment does not prohibit schools from aggressively recruiting those students, as long as they do not grant special treatment to those applicants during the admissions process. In a statement, Riggs said the change makes his bill similar to California's Proposition 209, which "has
been tested by the higher courts in the nation and found to pass constitutional muster." Despite the revision, many educators say they're still strongly opposed to the measure. "They have tired to talk to us about whether we could come to some mutually satisfying solution, but obviously, that's just not in the cards," Becky Timmons, director of Congressional relations for the education council told the Chronicle of Higher Education. "I don't see any effort that

attemts to transport California's Proposition 209 to the rest of the states as being supportable." Neither do many legislators. Democrats are expected to vote almost unanimously against the bill; so it will fail if just 10-15 Republicans oppose it. A few key lawmakers do, however, support the Riggs bill, including Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. William Goodling, a Republican from Pennsylvania who heads the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

al„yvs \ \ \\ MPySy ✓ NEW YORK - Cornell University received its largest donation ever this week, announcing that an alumnus and his wife have pledged to give the medical college and graduate school of medical services $100 million. The university's medical campus will be named after the donors, Sanford and Joan Weill, school officials said. They did not indicate the form of the couple's donation or the time period over which it would be allocated. Sanford Weill, a 1995 graduate of the university, is chief executive officer of Travelers Group, one of the country's biggest insurance companies. He could not be reached for comment but said in a statement that he and his wife have "the utmost respect for the school's dedication to science, research, education and service." The Weills' gift is the 14th donation of $100 million or more pledged to a U.S. college or university this decade, according to data compiled by the Chronicle of Higher Education. • WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Education has chosen the University of New Mexico and four historically black colleges to share more than $800,000 in federal grants for studies in fossil-fuel research.

He decided to leave his lofty perch from which he unfurled banners defending animal rights - on Tuesday.

According to the New York-based group, Human Rights In China, Chinese police arrested Xiaorong Li, a research scholar at the University of Maryland at College Park's Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy. Li had traveled to China with a valid visa granted by that country's government to visit her family, a statement from the group said. The group also said Li was taken from her parents' home in the middle of the night and forced to endure several hours of interrogation. The group, for which Li serves as vice-chairwoman, also stated that the government put Li on a plane to Hong Kong. A spokesman at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. declined to comment about the incident on Thursday because he said he knew nothing about it.

Students should protect themselves from computer crime, experts say By Beth Spangle ColltcePress
S
omeone posted a pornographic picture on 300 student websites at the University of Delaware in Newark. The hacker is still unknown. A 22-year-old student allegedly used his job at the student life office at Glendale Community College in Arizona to get access to students' Social Security Numbers - the same numbers they use to log on to school computers. He is accused of posting child pornography on 45 students' email accounts and been charged with 16 counts of computer fraud. "When I first noticed it, I just freaked," said A.J. Wolters, a sophomore at Glendale who received the pornographic transmissions. "I didn't know what to do." Faculty security was compromised at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., when a list of instructors' names, phone numbers and social security numbers were posted on the web after a Pennsylvania man found an unsecured, university file. Computers are an integral part of university life. As more school services are on-line and computer-dependent, universities are more vulnerable to attacks from people who gain unauthorized access to their computer systems. Many students don't take hackers as seriously as they should, computer experts say. And underestimating them can be dangerous. Computer crime might amount to little more than lewd e-mail in some cases, but can wind up devastating banking accounts, credit histories and any number of personal files stored on computers. "The worst and the best things (about schools nationwide going

online) are that everybody got connected," said Indiana University's lead security engineer, Scott Hutton. Hutton's job, which was created only a few days after faculty members found their private information posted on the Internet, is to help administrators build secure systems and to handle abusers within IU. "My job is to think like a hacker," he said. About half of computer security problems reported to Hutton's office are unwanted email, online harassment, threats and unwanted advertising which is also known as Spam. Ten percent of the complaints he receives stem from system break-ins, and 1 percent are connected to piracy - the act of computer users stealing software. Andy, a freshman at Northwestern University in Illinois who asked that his last name not be used, says getting free software is easy and cheap. "I just grabbed a $2,500 piece of software today for a friend," he said. "It's not difficult. You can search for search programs that will just give it to you. Yahoo! (a web directory) will find things just like they will find anything else." Andy justifies his stealing by saying that programs are overpriced and that he doesn't use them for profit. If caught, hackers like Andy could be punished - by the courts and their colleges. Hutton calls them "ankle-biters" and said they are typically very poorly trained in computer science which makes them easy to catch. Once in hand, many universities have technicians who are responsible for turning such hackers in to campus disciplinary boards and the local police.
ADAMS Continued from Page 9 together with their "regular" classmates, but Adams said she was at first "shocked at the thought of teaching 20 students and also three or four handicapped students at the same time." Although she had a heart for those kids who required extra attention, Adams feared educators weren't being taught how to help special-needs children without rushing to judgment. As soon as she arrived at UCO in 1974, she set out to introduce her student teachers to ways to helping the children make the adjustment to a regular school regime. Art therapy became her soap box. "As far as I'm concerned, there are times when you can't reach children except through a medium. That may be a crayon or a puppet...," she said. The visual art medium is a good means to see what's going on in their little minds and get into the soul of it without making assumptions with too few details." As a result, she began teaching introductory art therapy classes to teachers-to-be along with her regularly scheduled art courses. She also took on extra duties when then-Gov. George Nigh came to UCO in 1986 as a statesman in residence (the tow grew up together in McAlester).
Knowing her artistic background, he asked her to help organize the bundles of art given to him since his taking office. Five years later, the Donna Nigh Gallery was unveiled at the university with a substantial permanent collection. But for Adams, the gallery would be her own oversized canvas for showcasing both student and faculty art work. Between alumni exhibits and student shows, she also searched for intriguing traveling exhibits like the cut paper borrowed from the Chinese Embassy in 1994 and the thousand-plus Christmas items making up the Santa Claus Collection. Somewhere in the middle of her classes and gallery work, Adams fleshed out her own portfolio with weaving, her artistic specialty. She started out with traditional painting during college, but she said "I wanted to get into something different...and I loved the idea of fabric and sewing." Teaching herself to weave, she soon branched into threedimensional like the 50-foot fabric hanging she designed and installed in 1985 in the rotunda of the State Capitol to commemorate the state's Youth Arts Month Celebration. Adams' masterpiece, reminiscent of sprawling blue
spider legs falling in geometric patterns from the center of the rotunda, has been used at the Capitol several times since. She also built a fourteen-foot tall loom in order to create "Stylized Oklahoma Landscape," a pastoral scene woven and installed at the Shaklee Corporation in Norman. Her enthusiasm for all things tactile is evident, though, when she speaks of her students. "A lot of people look at weaving and wonder why we teach it, but to me, weaving is something where we're looking at the old style of techniques and giving it new life," she said. "This is just another medium to make art ... and my students always grow through the process." Now that she is retiring, Adams plans to concentrate on her own art, get reacquainted with the game of golf and travel with her husband of 27 years, Harold. "Connecting Strands," an exhibit of her students' weaving is on display at UCO's downtown Small Business Development Center through May 28. "I didn't want to be one of those professors who become tenured and then step back," she said. "I wanted to say I did the best I could and be a service to the university up until the very end."
