t took former UCO student Deborah Ann Currie 27 months in Jordan to learn valuable lessons about how others view American culture.

Currie recently finished her service in the Peace Corps, where she lived in the northern city of Tura and taught English as a foreign language to fourth, fifth and eighth-grade girls.

Her experiences in Jordan not only showed her how little Americans know about Middle Eastern cultures, but also how people in the Middle East view and judge America.

"There is not necessarily a good stereotype of us in Jordan. I wanted to show them that Americans weren't all `Baywatch."'

Currie said her experience improved her cultural perceptions.

"It made me more openminded and respectful of other cultures and lifestyles. I dated a southeastern Asian student while I was at UCO and the relationship was interesting, but I had no idea about his culture and what the things he did meant."

She had thought about joining the Peace Corps while she attended high school, but realized she must have a college degree.

"I then met someone from the Peace Corps while in college, and we discussed it."

Currie said her parents were very- supportive of her decision, but her brother said she would not like the country.

"My brother went to Jordan with the Marine Corps. He told me I wouldn't like it, so I wanted to prove him wrong."

Currie stayed with a Jordanian host family for part of her stay.

She said the families there are much closer, and she grew very close to them for support.

"They treated me like a daughter. The best thing as a female is to live within the confines of a family, to have

someone look out for you. I admired their family relationships; it made me want to get in touch with mine."

Her host family loved her, but she described the rest of the country's reaction to her presence as not hostility, but heavy misunderstanding.

"They didn't understand why Americans would work in a Jordanian school system for not a lot of money. Some of the other teachers thought I was an Israeli spy."

Over the two years she taught, she noticed changes in her students. At first they treated her as a novelty.

"They just wanted to be my friends, and to play all the time."

"An eighth-grader named

Rowan fell in love with me. She would write me notes, sit in the front and apologize for the rowdy students."

Currie eventually saw a difference in the way her students viewed her.

"To see what I did showed them they can do something like that, possibly. It opened up the kids' minds."

Currie did not experience any violence while in Jordan, with the exception of a minor, isolated assault from a young person.

"There is not a high crime rate — in the Arab culture that is looked upon very poorly."

When she wasn't teaching there was a lot of free time. While others chose to frequent bars on the weekend, she read over a

hundred books, from Dostoevesky to Tolkien, all of which she borrowed from the Peace Corps library.

"I really caught up on my reading there."

Currie said she missed seeing live shows in Oklahoma, so she took a daylong bus ride into Tel Aviv to watch a Radiohead show.

After completion of her service, she visited Thailand and Laos. She then returned to Oklahoma, which was a more favorable experience than she expected.

"A lot of people didn't understand why I came back to Oklahoma. They went to New York City, but I came back to figure out what to do, and see how things work out."

Currie said she couldn't remember all of the challenges life in Jordan presented.

"I'd have to ask friends and family about that. They were the ones I e-mailed whenever I had a problem."

"Sometimes you forget the bad, and remember the good."

However, she said her foreign status made life hard at times.

"I was always going to be the white, American female. People would always be staring no matter what."

"My host family didn't understand, but I was tired of being singled out."

As for good memories, she recounted some of her more enlightening experiences.

"Besides being more aware of cultures, I feel more mature. I'm glad I joined, I'm glad to have had the opportunity to be without certain things and to be a minority."

Her advice to people considering the Peace Corps is to try it out, but it's not for everybody: "You give up two years of your life, in a way, to be accepted into another culture, so you have to be openminded. It's about sacrifice, acceptance and a willingness to change yourself." •

LETTERS Reader discusses hackers' rights Schlup letter debated • 7'

I

hursday's The Vista article discussing recent federal anti-terrorism legislation and its impact on civil liberties contains an interesting hypocrisy.

The article quotes Stefan Morris of Oklahoma City 2600, a club for hackers and computer enthusiasts, as criticizing the USA Patriot Act on the grounds that this legislation "...is in direct conflict with the Fourth Amendment, which clearly states that we are to be secured against unreasonable search and seizure."

I have no problem with Morris' concern about (well-meaning) legislation that violates constitutional rights. I have accessed extremist websites for educational purposes and sheer curiosity; I'm not checking these out because I intend to join the war against the government (McVeigh murdered my cousin).

However, I would be very upset if any private or public entity accessed my computer and alleged that I was dangerous simply because I accessed these websites.

I am also concerned, though to a much lesser extent, that Stefan Morris, an acknowledged hacker, is concerned about his rights when he has no problem violating

the rights of others. Unless hacking has changed, my understanding is that it involves getting into someone else's computer programming for the purpose of creating mischief or simply just doing it "because I can." Why is it wrong for the U.S. government to go uninvited into someone's PC while it is okay for Morris to do so?

Granted, Stefan Morris cannot have me arrested or have my PC confiscated, as can the feds, but in looking at this as a fundamental issue of privacy rights, I don't see much of a difference. If anything, Morris has even more liberty to act than does the federal government; his actions are not the subject of congressional oversight and media attention.

As with many other situations involving individual freedom and community well-being and security, this one requires careful analysis and consideration of an important question: If we are demanding that government act to protect the civil liberties and rights of citizens, shouldn't we agree to the same?

Deb Ferrell-Lynn Adjunct, Political Science

Editor's note: The statement in the above letter referring to Mr. Morris' as "an acknowledged hacker" is not supported by any information reported in the Nov. 8 issue of The Vista.

The original story (USA Patriot Act signed Oct. 26; concerns security) reported that "Stefan Morris is a senior at Norman High School and a member of Oklahoma City 2600, a club for hackers and computer enthusiasts."

No evidence was presented in the story that Mr. Morris engages in illegal hacking activities . •

for one, was rather outraged by James Schlup's letter printed in The Vista on October 25, 2001.

Not only do I completely disagree with Mr. Schlup's opinion of America, I cannot believe that he is so ignorant to fact regarding our country.

First, I would like to point our that English is not the national language of the United States. To my knowledge, an official language

had never been declared. English may be the most prevalent language, but it is not a requirement to know English to live here. Consequently, how many English-speaking citizens actually speak it properly?

Secondly, most of our nation's founding fathers, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin See LETTERS, Page 10

Critical Mass combines biking, ecology Nov. 26 research study gives education majors chance for extra cash F

BY MICHAEL LARSON

Staff Writer

iffy-five cyclists embarked on a twilight ride through downtown Oklahoma City promoting environment-friendly transportation Nov. 5.

The Oklahoma City chapter of Critical Mass, an international organization of biking enthusiasts, celebrated their six-month anniversary with the one-hour ride and live music.

UCO student Ed Baldwin, creative writing sophomore, is a cyclist and helped organize the six rides so far.

"For one hour a month, we assert ourselves as bicyclists and promote our right to commute in an organic, free-flowing event," he said.

As the formation of cyclists passed playgrounds, children clung to chain link fences, waving and cheering them on.

One cyclist popped a tire, and

word traveled through the line of participants. Brakes squeaked as the party pulled over to wait and designated one lane of the road as a parking space.

If the crowd of cyclists hit a yellow light, one of them would stop and hold traffic while the others crossed the intersection.

Michael Smith, Critical Mass enthusiast, said, "It's a real easy way to become socially and politically active without spending money or investing a lot of time."

He is planning to start a bicycle library in a few weeks where people can borrow from his growing collection of bicycles for nonCritical Mass purposes.

"It will be a charter project," said Baldwin, who has over 30 bicycles. "I've never heard of anyone doing this before."

"I've seen people that haven't ridden a bike in 25 years show up and borrow one of the library bikes [for Critical Mass]. Next time they show up, they have $800 bikes and

ride 20 miles a day."

Mandy Bigger, UCO English graduate, said, "It's neat to see the people that show up then become regulars," she said.

Baldwin said he is starting the library in response to Oklahoma City's limited mass transit.

"The bus system here sucks. It's inadequate and unfocused. Every year I see new buses, but they don't go anywhere. Oklahoma has better buses than the ones in San Francisco or New York, it just needs a new system of direction."

Bigger said she has cycled with the Oklahoma chapter of Critical Mass since its conception.

"Riding has helped me become more aware of everything around me."

Even with the political and environmental causes, Critical Mass members emphasize the riding experience itself.

Baldwin said, "We have about 20 hard core supporters that make it out every month. Our youngest rider is 2 years old, and we have people riding with us that are into retirement age as well."

"It's not a sporting event, so there's no ego involved."

Smith said, "My main reason for riding is because it's fun. You get to hang out with a bunch of people and slow down traffic."

Besides the financial compensation, the students can use their scores on the OGET for their certification file. The OGET test costs $70.

"It's a great deal. This study is saving them $70 from the cost of the OGET and they get $50," Dirk said.

All education majors are required to take the OGET, and those with less than a 3.0 GPA must take the PPST, said Dr. John Westerman, chairman for professional teacher education.

He said some of his students could not participate in the study because they did not have to take the PPST. The study will only look at scores of students with lower GPA's.

"If the program works out, then we may drop the PPST requirement," Westerman said.

Students can sign up to take the test by calling Barbara Mills at 974-2387. •

may finally pay off. Education majors have an opportunity to make $50 for taking the Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET) for a study conducted by the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation (OCTP) Nov. 26.

The purpose of the study is to compare the results of the OGET and the PPST to see if the PPST can be eliminated from admissions to teacher education school, said D.D. Dirk, secretary of the teacher education services.

"We are trying to find out if it is a duplication," said Barbara Mills, testing center coordinator.

Requirements to participate in the study include that the student must have completed all three subsets of the Pre Professional Skills Test (PPST) on a single test date before September 2001 and they must release their PPST test scores Log on to www.thevistaonline.com 24 hours a day for campus news or to the OCTP for research. to sound off on current issues . aking tests

Broncho's season ends with heartbreaking loss to NSU

BY SHARON ROWEN

T

Sports Writer

he Bronchos couldn't repeat the miracle that they experienced last week as they dropped the final game of the season to Northeastern State, 45-44.

Just like last week, place kicker A.J. Haglund had a chance to win the game with a 34 yard field goal attempt with five seconds left to

go in the game, but unlike last week the kick was no good.

"Once again we had a great effort but just wasn't enough to win the football game," said coach Gary Howard.

"Our defense came out and did the job in the third quarter to get us the lead, but we couldn't sustain that. "It was another frustrating loss in a frustrating season."

Haglund was last week's hero when he booted a 22 yard field goal against Southeastern Oklahoma with 44 seconds left in that game to give UCO the victory.

Quarterback Brett Manning hit 24-of-38 passes for four touchdowns and 447 yards. He also rushed for two touchdowns against NSU. The Bronchos finished the season with a 3-8 record and a 1-7 record -in the Lone Star Conference standings.

Manning finished the year with 3,077 total yards passing and 17 touchdowns.

Running back Greg Briley finished his season with 857 net rushing yards and 14 touchdowns to lead the team in scoring with 84 points.

Wide Reciever Dee Dee Carter finished his year with 1,469 yards to lead the team in that category.

Jerry Gardner led the special teams in punt returns with 15 for 79 yards while Brent Ingram had 23 kick returns for 509 yards.

Gardner and Shaun Chappel had the only fumble returns on the year with one a piece.

Haglund hit nine out of 14 field goals with his longest being from 48 yards out. •

LETTERS LETTERS: Reader says founders were Deists continued from page 3 and James Madison were Deists, not Christians. Therefore, "Christian men and women" did not found this country.

As for the mentioning of God in our National Anthem, the word "God" only appears once, in the line "And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'"

That line does not appear until the fourth stanza. (I would also like to say that I have rarely heard more that the first stanza sung.) It is from this line that our National Motto was derived.

However, it did not become our National Motto until 1956, a year after it became obligatory to print on our currency.

Similarly, God is only mentioned once in the Declaration of Independence and once in the Constitution, at the very end, in the line "... in the Year of our Lord..."

It was not until 1954 that President Dwight D. Eisenhower amended the Pledge to include the words "under God," more than a decade after Congress had officially recognized the Pledge of Allegiance without the words. Subsequently, The College PrePaid Phone Card:

Congress did not recognize the Pledge until 60 years after Francis Bellamy composed it.

Speaking for myself, I opt not to say these words when I state the Pledge of Allegiance. They were not in the original text, and they are not necessary for me to say when I salute the flag.

It is true that holidays are taken coinciding with the birth, death, and resurrection of Christ, but not everyone celebrates these Christian holidays. I am one of these people. Others may be proud to have Him, but. He takes no part in my life.

Presidential order may hinder retrieval of executive records

BY DANIEL HOLDGE

Staff Writer

p

resident George W. Bush reinterpreted the Presidential Records Act of 1978 Thursday, which requires the disclosure of most sensitive records 12 years after the president has left office.

The Records Act gives current and former presidents greater authority to withhold records that are requested by scholars, journalists, and others. It requires all records not subject to exemptions to be released after 12 years. President Bush's order however permits a former president to label some records privileged and keep them secret forever.

"A democracy requires an new era of secrecy for the records informed public. The more of past presidents. information kept "An ignorant from the public, public is not good makes it harder for "A democracy requires in a democracy," them to judge the said Dr. James people they elect," an informed public.

They say this said. may usher the government in a White House officials have

portrayed the order as a way to ensure that no information is released that may jeopardize national security, but historians and other scholars are saying that the 1978 law provides sufficient protection for such documents.

"The standard should be very high to keep records from the public view," Furmanski said.

"There may be good cause to keep parts of the records under wrap, but most of them need to be exposed," he said.

Some historians believe that President Bush has other motivations for issuing the order, such as shielding his own records in the future or protecting

current officials who served under former president, Ronald Reagan.

Reagan's papers were the first to be governed by the 1978 act, and some 68,000 records were set for release in January 2001. The White House has delayed the release three times and with the current order it could be another 90 days. •
