n argument between roommates in East Hall turned violent early Saturday morning when gunfire erupted in a room on the first floor. According to Alicia Madewell, information clerk with the Oklahoma County Jail, UCO senior Millard Z. Bowie "was arrested on a complaint of attempted murder and possession of a firearm." Lonnell Campbell, Bowie's roommate, was slightly injured. However, UCO Department of Public Safety assistant chief, Ted Jones, said Campbell was apparently not hit by gunfire. The two men allegedly began arguing over a video tape, said a university source that asked not to be identified. The argument escalated into a scuffle and became more violent when Bowie produced a gun. Two shots were fired, said the source. Bowie and Campbell were in Room 111 of East Hall with two women when the incident occurred, according to an article in the Sunday Oklahoman. The women told police that Bowie had shown them the gun earlier in the evening and said he intended to shoot

Campbell, the article reported. Police found one bullet hole in the room and one in a hallway just outside the room. A .38-caliber revolver, with two empty chambers, was recovered from a bathroom trash can, according to the article. UCO's concealed weapon policy strictly prohibits weapons on campus. It states, "No person, other than an authorized Peace Officer may have in their possession a weapon of any kind while on the campus grounds..." "This was a blatant violation of UCO gun laws," the university source said. "My prediction is that he (Bowie) will be expelled. "That kind of behavior and character has no business on campus," the university source added. Nicholas Harrison, president of the Residential Hall Association said, "We support (the) Residential Life (department) and their policies and procedures concerning guns 100 percent." Harrison said the residence halls have a long track record of being safe, especially if compared to other Oklahoma. universities. "This is an isolated incident that is being handled very efficiently and prudently," he said. Bowie was being held in the Oklahoma County jail Monday afternoon. No bond or court date had been set.

University's fall enrollment drops 4 percent By Sandy Bates Student Writer CO had a record breaking fall enrollment for firsttime freshmen, but by midterm 4 percent dropped out, according to a report from the office of Enrollment Services. First-time freshmen are not

the only ones withdrawing from classes. UCO's total freshman enrollment decreased by almost 7 percent from fall figures. The sophomore class only lost 2 percent of its enrollment, while the junior class gained three students in comparison to fall enrollment. Like the sophomore class, senior enrollment did not see a

significant change; their numbers were reduced by only 1 percent. Five percent of the students enrolled in the graduate program dropped out by midterm. UCO has 13,870 students still registered for the fall semester, with new freshmen accounting for almost 12 percent. Jerry Legere, vice president of Enrollment Management, was

quick to point out, "These numbers are unofficial." UCO students began the fall term with a total of 149,307 credit hours. The current number of credit hours taken by UCO students is 140,084. With the average cost per credit hour being about $66, the loss of 9,223 credit hours results in the university losing

$608,718. President W. Roger Webb said the loss of revenue did not concern the university due to "the large number of first-time and transfer freshmen who are expected to enroll next spring." Webb also said it was considered normal to see a 4 percent midterm withdraw of new freshman.

im not true

n Saturday night, UCO got proof that current gun control laws are not keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals. When an argument over a video cassette turned violent, East Hall resident Millard Z. Bowie, a convicted felon, allegedly pulled a gun and fired two shots at his roommate. It is illegal for a convicted felon to own a handgun. The Brady Bill did not work to keep the gun out of Bowie's hand. Criminals will always find a way to obtain weapons; it's part of what makes them criminals. What we experienced Saturday night is typical of anti-gun legislation; people with criminal intent ignore laws like the Brady Bill, while law-abiding citizens are hampered by the legislation. Rather than punishing the innocent, our legislators should concentrate on severely prosecuting people who commit crimes with weapons.

New fitness center fee one more expense not everyone needs, but should pay, says student

hy is it that the end of the 20th Century, when I started to think that we lived in a country with all the freedom and equal rights and opportunities, I realize that things haven't changed one bit. Let me state off the bat that I believe in equal rights and opportunities for everyone, no matter the race, religion, sex or any disability. But just when I thought my peers were representing my generation with great intelligence, I realize that many are blinded by their own ignorance. President Webb is trying to change the university life for the third largest university in the state, but many students do not seem to get the big picture. Dr. Webb feels that a "wellness center" will benefit us enormously and so do I. Yes, it will cost us and yes it will be a while before it would be built. The only drawback is

that we will pay $25 a semester to get the program rolling and most upper classmen won't ever use the facility because we will be gone. Here's my bias perspective. I currently pay the following fees: activity at $52, facility at $26, library at $32.50, and an evaluation fee at $13. I pay over $175 in fees when I use no facility other than the restroom, and the classrooms when I attend my classes. Computer labs and a new library are nice and I'm proud that we have access to these facilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even though I use my local library and my own computer. I also have a membership to a fitness center which I would keep. But for those that can't, or choose not to pay $30 plus a month, we need to have a "wellness center." To become a complete individual, we need to be fulfilled in the mind, body and V See LETTERS, Page 3

soul. Our minds are strengthened with the use of the libraries, computer labs, and my classes; our souls can be renewed with religious organizations; but our bodies do not get renewal. I choose not to complain about fees that are useless to me. Therefore, I don't try to negatively impact your lives. I choose to believe in equal rights as an American and I accept that as my role in life. My college needs a lot of improvement just like every other college in the university, but since everyone is so selfish and struck on their needs so let's concentrate on the big picture. Maybe some of you selfish individuals may do so also by not trying to dictate how others positively change their own lives. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Brian Huff UCO senior

ree UCO students bring home speech awards from Tonkawa

Wellness center welcomed stress relief for student

n some of your past letters published in the Vista, there have been varying opinions on the possibility of a wellness center opening on the UCO campus. I thought I might take this moment to express one more opinion. I feel that a wellness center would be very beneficial to our university. So often, we criticize those who aren't active. We may call them unmotivated, lazy or even "couch commandos." I think that maybe the excuse for not exercising isn't just lack of ambition. Instead, it may be more a lack of opportunity. I know that enrolling for classes in a degree completion program can be very frustrating and may not go exactly as we plan. How often do we find

classes too full? Maybe you have to schedule classes around work and study time, or maybe you have to drop a class. Now you are riddled with a school schedule for 16 weeks that might have an hour between or even a few hours between classes. What a great time to take a jog on an indoor track or treadmill, do some cardio climbing, lift some weights or other activities. A wellness center would make all of that accessible to students who would really like to benefit from such activities. About the funding by use of student fees, I think a small fee every 16 weeks is better than a $30 or $40 monthly fee charged at most public facilities in the community. We can't selfishly think about our

graduation and how we may never benefit from fees spent to build the center. We shouldn't be so selfcentered. Don't just look at it as something we won't have access to later. Instead, think of it as improving life now and touching the lives of many students who will follow us. I don't think it would be out of the question to have Pres. Webb consider making the center available for use by alumni members also. It is something to think about. Having a wellness center on campus can make available a resource for better health and better living for everyone.

Obscenities and threats greet university students By Tim Dehan

StudenEffritor n what university police called vandalism, the west entrance of the Communications Building was marred with chalk graffiti threats, obscenity and slogans promoting N.O.R.M.L., The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (N.O.R.M.L.). Statements such as "Death to all teacher pets," "F*** all you violent bitches," and "I have a degree in life and a minor in bonging," were combined with drawings of marijuana leafs and bongs, by the perpetrators. According to the UCO Department of Public Safety (UCODPS), Officer Jeff Morefield, the suspect(s)' actions are considered vandalism, a misdemeanor crime. If the suspects are caught, the

Not violence." Frank Burnswell, senior education major said, "It countermands itself to put violent social political statements along with peaceful ones." Dr. Barbara Norman, chairwoman of the communication department, was upset over the vandalism. "It reflects poorly on the individual who chose to express themself in that way, considering the number of non-students who have the occasion to come in and out of that door," she said. "It indicates a (low) level of respect for the people and the university's property." Dr. Terry Clark, chairman of the journalism department, said "This is a sophomoric product of small minds who have not yet graduated from grade school. Grow up, or go back to remedial high school."

N.O.R.M.L., is a non-profit organization supporting the legalization of marijuana for medicinal and recretional use. N.O.R.M.L. is not recognized by the university as a student organizion, said Carla Supon, representative of the student activity center. No individual or groups have claimed responsibility for the vandalism, and at this time UCODPS said it has no suspect(s) or leads in the case. Norma Supp, co-director of the Oklahoma chapter of N.O.R.M.L., said, "There has never been a NORML chapter recognized at UCO...and we (N.O.R.M.L.) believe in education leading to legislation.

$20, 000 grant provides scientific technology to UCO By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy

StaItWriter

CO's science educators received a $20,000 grant from Conoco/Dupont and the State Regents of Higher Education for the purchase of new computers and technology. The equipment is required for the Biology 4853 class, "Teaching Science for Secondary Education," taught by Dr. Donna Zanowiak. So far the course has received up to $66,000 in grant money over the period of three years.

Equipment previously purchased include computers, a projector, a digital camera, several science software packages and general presentation software. Another lab device, called science probeware, connects to the computer and collects scientific data. It can detect motion, pH, and can be used as an electrocardiogram monitor. It graphs and presents all the information on the computer screen. "I don't think that to this date any other methods course has as much technological equipment as this," Zanowiak said.

"It allows students to hypothesize, it helps them plan experiments and saves a lot of time." Software packages range from physics and astronomy to weather pattern detectors. Atom software helps students view the human anatomy, complete with arteries, veins and a pulsating heart. Frog dissection software allows students to perform the dissections on the computer. "I've seen students come in with an absolute phobia of computers and technology and leave with at least an idea of the possibilities of modern

science," Zanowiak said. "With this technology you can present information in a way that makes more sense to students. Something you couldn't do otherwise." The money received this year will be used to purchase laptop computers and equipment to allow all students in the classroom to utilize the computers. Students will be able to check out the laptops to use as teaching tools during their student teaching period. "I think that it is important that we're sending these students out with some technological experience," Zanowiak said.

French master cellist to perform at UCO campus By Ann Purkeypile

Student Writer ntemationally recognized concert and recording artist from the Paris Conservatory, Dominique de Williencourt, will perform four separate concerts and conduct a master class for UCO and area high school cellists on Nov. 1924. Bringing internationally recognized master musicians to campus provides students

world-class exposure, said Dr. Ralph Morris, director of the UCO chamber orchestra. "He is very much in demand, concertizing all over the world," Morris said. Williencourt's first concert will be at 8:00 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 19, at the First Christian Church in Edmond. He will perform, with the UCO Chamber Orchestra, an orchestral suite by Bach, a symphony by William Boyce, and Hayden's "Cello Concertos

in C & D Major." Williencourt will also perform, in solo, contemporary French cello music. At 7:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 20, Williencourt and the UCO Chamber Orchestra will perform again at the Mayflower Congregational Church in Oklahoma City. The master class for UCO and high school cellists is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 21, at the UCO music building.

Williencourt will perform with pianist Dr. Robert McFadden, professor of music from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 22, in Mitchell Hall Theatre. At 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 24, he will perform Dvorak's "Cello Concerto" and Faure's "Elegy" with the UCO Symphony Orchestra in Mitchell Hall Theatre. UCO added a cello orchestra this year, hiring cellist Dr. Tess

Remy-Schumacher as a new staff member. They will be featured at the Nov. 19 concert. The Chopin Society of MidAmerica is sharing the cost of the recitials with UCO, along with help from the Mayflower Congregational Church in Oklahoma City, Morris said. Williencour.t accepted the invitation at the request of Morris. The two are personal friends who both taught at Cameron University in Lawton, Okla., several years ago.

Changing U.S. immigration laws College essay contest examined at two UCO seminars examines ethic issues By Kate O'Neill

StaffWriter

CO's International Office and International Student Council are sponsoring two different seminars to help international students gain a better understanding of the United States' immigration laws and UCO's student health insurance program. At 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18 in Room 211 of the University Center, UCO's Immigration and Activities Director Jalal Daneshfar, and Immigration Assistant Aaron Wilkerson, will inform students what requirements they must fulfill to remain in the U.S. after they graduate. "This is an important session especially for the 190 international students graduating this semester...it's important that students keep up with the ever changing immigration laws, rather than listening to the experiences of their friends,"

Daneshfar said. "The session will teach students what...procedures and documentation they must follow to stay in the U.S.," said Jason Harris, International Student Council president. The seminar will discuss green cards, visas and inform international students of the rights they are entitled to after graduation. "This will offer some insight in the working of the American immigration policies in order to work in the U.S., and save international students time and stress after they graduate," Harris said. The session on UCO's new automated student health insurance program, will begin at 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19 in Room 211 of the University Center. Donna Hopper, a representative from Student Insurance Division, will present students with information about claims and the coverage policyholders are entitled too.

"Most students buy the insurance and don't know how to use it," Harris said. Daneshfar said the session will teach students how to use the automated system and save a step in the enrollment process. "This session will provide students with first hand knowledge of the new automated procedure... and those who attend can ask questions about coverage, claim forms and other insurance issues," Daneshfar said. The International Office and International Student Council are planning several other seminars for next semester, Harris said.

Central archives moving to Max Chambers Library By Jarrod Briley SludentWrite?

he UCO archives, currently located at Evans Hall, will be relocated to the second floor of the Max Chambers Library sometime after the first of the year to make room for administrative offices. Jim Hurd, UCO architectural consultant, said the second floor of the Max Chambers Library will soon undergo construction to prepare it for the archive. Specific space will need to be created in the library in order to protect the archives from the environment and for security reasons," Hurd said. According to an interoffice -

memo, the archive will house the UCO foundation, alumni offices and the office of Cornelius Wooten, vice president of administration. President Roger Webb, rationalized the move, saying, "The alumni space is extremely

cramped and crowded. They need more space in order for them to function effectively." Ron Bogle, vice president of external affairs, said the current archives space will not be turned into office space. He said it will be renovated and turned into a ballroom. The new ballroom will be

Webb said the move is also being made because, "It is quite customary for a university's archive to be located in the campus library. So there is logic in making this move." Webb added, "Money is not a consideration here. It (the move) will not be a great cost to UCO. Moves such as this are simply part of the growing pains of a university." The actual cost of the move has not yet been determined. Diane Rice, library technician, said, "I love this space. It's neat

Rice said the archive is having problems keeping out moisture, which threatens to destroy some of the archive's documents. "(Max Chambers) Library will provide the archives with an area that is moisture free which will be a lot safer for the books and documents," Rice said. The archives were originally located in Max Chambers and were moved to Evans Hall in the early 80s. The archives contains historical information about UCO, Edmond and Oklahoma. It also contains a variety of written works from past UCO students and Oklahoma public officials..<

Veterans Day goes unnoticed on UCO campus By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy

nce again, veterans all over the world celebrated what is the most prestigious day commemorating their contributions to freedom and liberty. However, the veterans at UCO have not been officially recognized this year, much like last year, as Veteran's Day was not celebrated on campus. Whether a mere oversight or just a general lack of interest, recent history shows UCO's failure to recognize veterans, unlike the rest of the world. UCO's only contribution to the event is the involvement of the ROTC in supporting the Edmond Veterans of Foreign Wars to put flags up at various Edmond businesses. Veterans were also recognized and honored at the Metrochurch during their Sunday service. Veterans' Day, or what used to be known as Armistice Day, marked the end of World War I. It serves as a remembrance day extended to honor veterans of every war since that period. Unnoticed veterans like Capt. Jeff Malloy, UCO assistant professor of military science, served in Operation Desert Storm as a communications officer with a medical unit from Feb. to April 1991. "I definitely think that (Veterans' Day) is important and we need to recognize and honor veterans and appreciate their

role in providing freedom," Malloy said. "It's an honor to be able to serve your country." Veteran Terry May, professor of military science and department chairman at UCO, also served on active duty for 22 years as an army officer. May started out as a lieutenant in the 82nd Airborne Division, and served in both Vietnam and Korea. His military career also included two jobs in the Pentagon. Much of his career was spent in military intelligence. "It's more a matter of national

recognition. Each veteran in their own mind will celebrate Veterans' Day. To me it brings back a lot of memories," May said. "It brings back the meaning of that day and it causes me to reflect on the contributions of the veterans who served before me and in those who will serve in the future." Another veteran Ken Young, UCO director of veterans affairs, believes that it is important to have one big celebration rather than so many smaller ones, so that Veterans' Day would get more

Class syllabi with catalog proposed by professor By Ann Purkeypile Studentrifriter

s the enrollment process begins, students trying to select classes and professors need access to as much information as possible to make good decisions. Students can gather information about courses by reviewing syllabi. Currently each college on campus requires professors to annually submit copies of their syllabi to either the Dean of the College or the Department Chair, who in turn make them available to students. Students can pick them up there

or go to the professor directly. One way of getting this information to students might be through e-mail. If there was a listing of every professor's email address in the class schedules, students could access the information on-line. For students without e-mail access, an annually published catalog with class syllabi and instructor resume is one idea Dr. Irving, professor of sociology and criminal justice, said he has been suggesting. A catalog of this type would undoubtedly be of interest to prospective students, and it would show off UCO's outstanding Ph.D.-to-student

ratio, Irving indicated. "Come and Meet the Faculty Day" is another idea of Irving's. Meeting faculty of each college or department in advance could give students an idea of what to expect from the class and the professor, and help develop rapport between faculty and students, Irving said. The traditional way students have gathered information about courses and professors has been by asking fellow students. But this information is inherently flawed since what one student values and puts into a course regarding time and commitment differs from another.

recognition and media attention. Young was stationed at Qui Nhon in South Vietnam with the 93rd Military Police Battalion, doing harbor patrol in the South China Sea in 1966-67. "What makes me feel good is that government and people around the nation recognize the contributions of what veterans have done," Young said. "There is a time when everyone has to step up to keep this country free. People have to be able to count on you." Maybe UCO will appreciate its veterans on Nov. 11, 1999.

Learning and Professional Development Lynda Earls said O'Neil will speak on topics of what to say during an interview, how to interact with agents, the best ways to get an audition without an agent and how to put a resume together to market yourself. "I thought it would be a wonderful thing for the students, to bring him (O'Neil) here," said Dr. Roberta Sloan, chairwoman and professor of theatre arts.

Sloan met O'Neil in New York City, and is responsible for him coming to UCO. She said it is very important for aspiring actors and actresses to know the business aspects of the profession.

Broncho prowess shows again By James Gutzmer SponsWrifer

CO captured the Lone Star Conference Championship in high fashion last Saturday at Tahlequah in front of a crowd of 11,300. The Bronchos rolled to a 36-10 victory in a balanced effort capitalizing on Northeastern State mistakes. The Bronchos started scoring early. Alton Lusk took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. The Bronchos led early 7-0. The NSU offense didn't even have a chance to get started, rushing for two first downs, but UCO defensive end Jason Rempe took down the NSU quarterback, causing a fumble picked up by Claude Davis at the NSU 45. With :24 left in the first quarter, the Bronchos started their second scoring drive at the NSU 33. Tailback Reggie Donner took the first play from scrimmage 14 yards. Two plays later, quarterback Scott Condict hit Lusk on a thre- yard pass setting up a

30-yard Ronnie Gulikers' field goal. The Bronchos led 10-0 early in the second quarter. The Bronchos' defense came through again on NSU's next possession. Cornerback Jonnie Jones stepped in front of an NSU pass for his second interception. He returned the ball 11 yards to the NSU 37. The Bronchos were stopped on the next set of four-downs, but because of a roughing the kicker call, the Bronchos picked up an automatic first down. Donner took advantage of the break, running the ball 17 yards on the next play to the NSU 11. Four more short runs by Donner set up a one-yard plunge by Condict for the touchdown. UCO had a 17-0 lead at the half. NSU picked up their first points of the game early in the third quarter on their longest drive of 10 plays for 65 yards. The UCO defense stopped the NSU drive at the UCO 14, forcing a NSU field goal making the score 17-3. Two drives later the Bronchos moved the ball 91 yards in 10 plays for their next score. The

drive was highlighted by a 29-yard pass to Lusk and a 36-yard toss to Chad Hacker. Donner completed the drive with a one- yard dive for the touch down. After Gulikers' extra point, the Bronchos led 24-3. In the fourth quarter, NSU struck first, driving 76 yards on one play to score the Redmen's only touchdown of the game. However, the Bronchos came right back. Lusk took the ensuing kick off 66 yards to the NSU 25, setting up a Gulikers field goal from 33 yards out, putting the Bronchos up 27-10. The UCO defense was next to score. Free-safety Kelly Heathington blocked the NSU punt causing the ball to roll to the end zone where it was recovered by NSU for the safety. The safety put the Bronchos up 29-10. UCO linebacker Johnny Luter picked up an NSU fumble on the Redman four, setting up the final touchdown. The Bronchos won the game 36-10. The Bronchos will play Chadron State of Nebraska on Saturday at 1 p.m at Wantland Stadium.

This is unchartered territory for Kansas State By Kent Pulliam

ANHATTAN, Kan. - This is uncharted territory. In the recent past, Kansas State had become the model for rebounding after a big loss check the weeks after Nebraska games. In the last three seasons, the Wildcats lost to Nebraska by an average of 30 points - and won the following week by an average of 30. But never has a victory offered a better opportunity for a weeklong hangover. The Wildcats are 10-0 and coming off the biggest victory in school

history - a 40-30 come-frombehind thriller against Nebraska. Students stormed the field and tore down the goalposts. Euphoria reigned in Manhattan on Saturday night and into Sunday. Kansas State moved into sole possession of first place in the USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll Sunday morning. In the Associated Press poll, the Wildcats remain second but closed the gap on Tennessee. The Wildcats will play Texas A&M in the Big 12 championship game no matter what happens in their game Saturday at Missouri. But K-

State's national championship hopes will be on the line against a dangerous Tigers team whose only losses have been to teams that were ranked in the top 10: Ohio State, Nebraska and Texas A&M. Can K-State avoid a letdown against Missouri after the big win against Nebraska? "There are some concerns in that regard," coach Bill Snyder Said. "I've been proud of our players. They rise to the occasion. They handle things really well. I'd like to think we would handle this quite well." But he can't be sure. Other teams have suffered such letdowns: A week after

Michigan State upset Ohio State, they fell to Purdue. And even last year's K-State team slipped a bit after a big win. After the Wildcats' emotional victory over Colorado last year - their first in 13 years - students stormed the field and the goalposts came down. Celebrations in Manhattan went on for hours. The following week Kansas State played a sloppy game against Iowa State. The Wildcats won 28-3 but struggled mightily after jumping to a 14-0 lead. Mardi Gras, on its best night, had nothing on K-State's celebration after the school's

first victory over Nebraska in 30 years. But immediately after the game, several players seemed to have a good grasp of what was at stake. "I might carry this one for a little while," tight end Justin Swift said. "Well, probably only until Monday. Then we'll start looking toward Missouri and what we have to do against them." Guard Jeremy Martin said: "I'm from Missouri. I live in Kansas City, so youknow that's an important game for me. I'll be ready to play." Whether the team will be, however, remains to be seen. -4

Red Earth draws crowd to campus By Katie Hawk StallCO experienced ballroom dancing Native American style Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Red Earth Fall Festival in the University Center Grand Ballroom. This is UCO's second year as host of the festival. Eric Oesch, public relations director and acting executive director of Red Earth, said several thousand people attended the free fall festival. Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops were among the many spectators learning about the Native American culture and heritage at Red Earth. Oesch explained the difference between the Red Earth Fall Festival held on campus and the Red Earth Festival held in June at the Myriad Convention Center in Oklahoma City. "The fall festival is more intimate and one-on-one. Our main focus is education," Oesch said. Educational activities at festival included three Native American Dance performances, beadwork and basketweaving classes, artists lecturers, storytellers, and children's activities. Also, 40 booths displayed the work of Native American artists. "It went great and we had a good crowd. The Children's Activity Workstation was busy from open to close," Oesch said. The children's workstation educated 50 children at a time with help from UCO club members. The children learned how to make

Early childhood development major talks about family values

atrick Ward was careful about how he described the issue he would make the focus of his grass roots movement—family values. "I don't want to offend anybody," he said several times. In a society where singleparent households have become the norm, Patrick was wise to be selective with the words he used to discuss making family values a more important issue. "My topic would have to be education," he said. "Familyvalue education." Patrick is a UCO graduate student who is working toward his goal of making a change in society. At 28, he is majoring in early childhood development, and already working with children in his community. "Values are attitudes and

opinions and establishing limits," Patrick said. "It's teaching right and wrong." Patrick doesn't intend to teach right and wrong with a rod and condemning words. "I'd try to model acceptable behavior," he said. There's currently a big breakdown in family values, Patrick said. He attributed a lot of the problem to society's attitude about committed unions between men and women. "There's kind of an attitude where marriages are not taken seriously," Patrick said. "You can get out of it with a simple divorce." Too many people, Patrick said, bail out of their marriages when the going gets tough. He thinks couples should be encouraged to stay together and work out their

differences in most cases. "Divorce is an easy solution to a difficult problem," he said. "Past generations would have worked harder because divorce was socially unacceptable." Rather than making divorce a more difficult option, Patrick recommended making marriages harder to get. His ideas for accomplishing this included having prospective couples take classes, or live in the home of a happily-married couple to see the kind of give-and-take that is common in a successful union. "People would enter into it with more forethought," he said. The school system would be a good place to start reintegrating family values, Patrick said. To do this, he believes the schools have to get parents more involved in children's activities. "You have to establish a reciprocal

Ones-self I sing, a simple separate person Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Ise. — Walt Whitman relationship with families," he said. "The teacher has to get the family more involved, and the teacher has to get to know the students' needs." Regular open house functions are one way of establishing a working relationship between teachers, students and parents. But Patrick also suggested letting the parents into the classroom for parties, or even during lessons in some cases. Many people instinctively connect family values to religious beliefs. Patrick is Catholic, but he said he would not try to win converts through his family values education. "Family values are what's acceptable in the culture at large," Patrick said. "If religion is important to a family, they should look into a parochial

school." Patrick seemed to favor a school voucher program that would give parents more freedom in choosing their children's schools; but he was wary of potential abuses. "I can see some people pocketing the money and saying they're doing home schooling," he said. "Then the child gets nothing." A teacher who understands children is vitally important to the education process. Patrick said teachers should assign activities parents can do with their children. "I respect any family that works together," Patrick said. "I know it's a difficult thing to do."

Ad students mix with professionals during career fair By Leslie Wells StudentiNfiter CO advertising students networked with professionals Wednesday at the Oklahoma City Advertising Career Day. Career day, which was held at the Home Builders' Association of Greater Oklahoma City, was sponsored by the Oklahoma City Advertising Club. The day began at 8:30 a.m. when each student was assigned to a group and a mentor. The mentors were professionals in advertising or public relations. Each group went to the agency where the mentor worked, to follow and observe them for the day. There, the students could see the agency at work.

"It was a good experience to see a real advertising agency work," said Wendy Werber, UCO advertising student. "It was definitely worth going to." The groups returned to the Home Builders' Association at 11:30 a.m. for lunch and a reception. The lunch was also a joint meeting for the Oklahoma City Ad Club. Each table featured a different professional, allowing the students to

Review by Julie Jordan, Staff Writer

n Woody Allen's movies, it is what's seen, not what's heard. It is what's implied, not what's spelled out. His movies go beyond the surface of people, and explore the dark side of human nature. Allen's latest movie, "Celebrity," is no exception. It focuses on the trials of divorce and new relationships, set inside the chaotic world of celebrities. "Celebrity" follows the lives of divorced couple Kenneth Branagh (Lee Simon) and Judy Davis (Robin Simon) as they recover from a failed 16-year marriage. After attending his 20 year high school reunion, Lee has a premonition of what he will become if he doesn't escape his dull existence. He promptly asks Robin for a divorce, and chases anything in a skirt, especially models and actresses. Robin, inhibited before their marriage, goes in the opposite direction, withdrawing from the world, afraid she'll be hurt again. The phenomenon of celebrities is also explored, as Lee fights to sell a screenplay, and Robin just happens upon fame after falling in love with a television executive (Joe Mantegna). While Robin blossoms with a

new husband and her own TV show, Lee manages to throw away any decent relationships, and falls for a woman who professes she will never be faithful to any man. In "Celebrity," Allen proves through Lee and Robin that love and fame cannot be controlled. "Celebrity" has cameos by

stars Melanie Griffith, Leonardo Dicaprio, Winona Rider, Hank Azaria and many more. There are no flash special effects, no death defying stunts and no computer animation in Woody Allen's movies. Just characters—complex characters with actual flaws and real problems.

StudentWriter resh from a break on the first leg of its "How Does Your Garden Grow" tour, Better Than Ezra (BTE) rocked UCO on Thursday night. Performing to 814 fans in the Grand Ballroom of the University Center, BTE played a full set to the enthusiastic crowd. Kevin Griffin, lead singer and guitarist, Tom Drummond, bass player, Jim Payne keyboardist, and Travis McNabb, percussionist, are the boys of the selfproclaimed rock band Better Than Ezra. The group went on stage at 10 p.m. and continued until after 11:30 p.m.. They played hits, such as "Rosealia," "King of New Orleans," "Good" and concluded the show with "Desperately Wanting." BTE also played several tracks off their new album "How Does Your Garden Grow." They performed "Allison Foley," "Happy

Day mama," and "One More Murder," which is also featured on the "X-Files" motion picture soundtrack. Better Than Ezra also took time to cover several songs. They played short versions of "Tubthumping," Van Halens' "Ain't Talkin' `bout Love," and at special request of student Adrianne Majors, the band played "Conjunction Junction," a song they rarely play in concert, according to McNabb. McNabb also said BTE's new album "is a classic blend of BTE sound, mixed with several of our early influences. It's also an album that we as a band wanted to release. "Since our first album release in '93, we've always been playing catch-up, and now finally we have an album with totally new and fresh material." "'How Does Your Garden Grow' shows the way bands like Radiohead, R.E.M. and U2 have influenced us (the band) as musicians and as people." BTE is a socially-conscious band, which is involved with other groups like Matchbox 20, and Sheryl Crow, who lobby for continued control and education for handguns in America. "How Does Your Garden Grow" is the band's third album, which was released seven weeks ago. The band is on a yearlong tour with dates in the United States, Europe and hopefully in Australia, McNabb said. After the concert, the members of Better Than Ezra spent time in the Grand Ballroom foyer, signing autographs and taking pictures with the fans. "The show went really well and the band had a great time," Griffin said as he boarded the tour bus for Austin, Texas. "This venue was different then what we are used to, but the audience was cool," Drummond said. Jake Daniels, music director and drivetime DJ for radio station Rock 100.5 The KATT, attended the show and said, "Better

Travis McNabb leaps from his drumset for a grand finale. Than Ezra is at the top of their game; they sound great, and the band is 'better than ever.â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Students from across the state enjoyed the live concert at UCO. Julie Shilling, a student from the University of Oklahoma said, "The show

was awesome, and I really love the band." Lyndsay Graham, freshman and agriculture economics major from Oklahoma State University said, "Better Than Ezra is great; it was more than I expected. I would definitely come back to UCO for another concert."

Band members spend quality time with the fans signing autographs and taking pictures after the show outside the ballroom.
