University's shuttle bus service scheduled for permanent stop

By Trent Dugas

Staff ttt / s $500 per week worth your convenience and ‘ safety?

Not according to Auxiliary Enterprises.

UCO is terminating its contract with the Metro Transit shuttle service.

The buses will stop rolling on Nov. 3, just before the inclement weather season.

The shuttle service served as a transportation link for students who parked in distant parking spaces or lived near the bus route.

UCO hoped the service would help ease the parking problem.

Robert Lindley, executive director of Auxiliary Enterprises and Economic Development, said the $500 per week cost for running the shuttles is a "waste of money," because nobody utilized the buses.

"This service was launched on a temporary basis last spring

when construction of the University Commons made a serious dent in campus parking," Lindley said.

"Now that the construction is complete and many of the lost parking spaces have been returned to service, the usage of the shuttle has declined dramatically."

Students are still short about 200 spaces because of the construction of the Commons, according to Leon Fourcade, manager of university parking services.

Students who are temporarily disabled are also affected by the terminated shuttle service.

Parking in Wantland Stadium is a long walk to campus for disabled students.

Lindley said UCO is current on all handicap parking regulations.

Kathy Ball, bus operator for the Oklahoma City Metro Transit, said most of her passengers ride in the morning.

She said a factor that should be

considered is handicapped people. Usually, the handicapped people she picks up are on crutches.

"I picked up one this morning," she said.

She said a possible alternative to terminating service is trying other bus routes around campus.

Ball, a former bus driver at the University of Oklahoma (OU), said their bus routes include covering a large distance from campus.

OU's shuttle service drives off campus to area apartment complexes, and sorority and fraternity houses, she said.

"I think maybe if it (UCO's bus) went out by the sororities and the stuff over there then we might have more riders," Ball said.

She believes since UCO is striving to be like other universities in Oklahoma, with

ore tuition increases may be on the way for UCO students.

The Oklahoma State Conference of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has proposed a plan to raise tuition costs over a five year period.

Dr. Tom Guild, UCO general business professor and AAUP state conference president, said Oklahoma is below the national average in tuition cost.

"Out of state funds in Oklahoma, the entire public

system of higher education, and not just UCO, the students pay about 25 percent of the cost of their education," Guild said.

taxpayers of "The Oklahoma pay about 75 percent."

He said raising tuition costs for students to 33 and a third percent is not irrational because the taxpayers still pay the rest.

"So either way, the taxpayers are going to be picking up a vast majority of the cost," Guild said.

"But we are just thinking that since the students are the ultimate beneficiary of the

salary increases for faculty The $2 million increase

the would help UCO students members since university is "behind" in better access a college education, Guild said.

Any time you raise the those areas, Guild said.

OU's parking services said its bus service takes students to and from campus to anywhere in Norman. The service is free for on campus and 25 cents for off campus destinations.

"They (UCO administration) think more of budgets and cost cutting and are not thinking of student's welfare sometimes," Thiageirajan said.

He said they should not have dropped another problem on students by canceling the shuttle service.

The UCO administration, he said, should keep their promise about leaving the shuttle service.

By Ercilia Zolkiewicz StaffWitter xternal factors are having an impact on !universities' ability to attract professors in certain disciplines, said Dr. Don Betz, vice president of academic affairs.

"All of my counterparts (in other Oklahoma universities) have positions that they can't fill," he said.

Because of low pay, the College of Business has had difficulty in recruiting and retaining qualified full-time faculty.

There is no Oklahoma state school that can pay at the salary level that corporations are paying to people with the qualifications of professors, Betz said.

UCO uses a "pay card" which is a standard pay scale for each level of professor, no matter which area of study is taught.

Betz believes UCO is the only university in the state that uses a pay card.

Former UCO Vice President of Administration Larry Williams said that he believes the pay card has been in place since President Godfrey's administration (1960-1975).

Williams left UCO to accept the President position at Southeastern Oklahoma State University.

He is now president at Northeastern State University.

"I was involved in installing the faculty salary schedule at Southeastern," he said.

Williams believes that Southeastern's needs called for the market demand factor.

The real issue is recruiting new people into higher education, he said.

"We put in a category for market demand to help in terms of recruiting," Williams said.

"Members of the faculty here at Northeastern requested looking into the possibility of a faculty pay schedule," he said.

Williams has formed a committee of Northeastern faculty members to consider installing a faculty pay schedule.

Southwestern uses a modified version of the pay card, called a faculty pay schedule.

The pay card has advantages and disadvantages.

"You can have a pay card that has a factor for market demand," Williams said.

There is a debate ready to be had about having a pay card on most campuses, he said.

When asked if Southwestern

uses a pay card, Dean Dan Dill, associate vice president of academic affairs, Southwestern Oklahoma State University, said, "We use a pay card, but it's different."

"Yes and no, don't you love that?"

Dr. Russell Jones, UCO associate professor of marketing,. believes the problem at UCO is the lack of the market value factor.

UCO's College of Business faculty is "grossly underpaid" when compared to other state universities' business faculty, Jones said in a recent Vista interview.

"The pay card doesn't take into account the market value," Betz said.

"It isn't able to do so by its very nature," he said.

The advantage of using the standardized system is "no jealousy among faculty," Dill said.

Dill believes that Southwestern is innovative in its approach to faculty salaries.

"We look at two factors."

First, the standardized pay schedule provides a basis for opening discussions to faculty salary, Dill said.

PAY CARD Continued from page 2 "But then we have a little factor in there called market value."

When considering a salary to offer a business professor candidate, Southwestern looks at the comparable salaries of professionals in that same profession across the region, Dill said.

"We also look at total availability (of qualified professors)."

"When we go into final discusssions, we still have the option to increase the original offer," Dill said.

"If I want to go out and hire a Ph.D. in computer science, I've got to pay, or I'm not going to get one," Dill said.

"There are a number of areas in our (Northeastern) College of Business that the candidates (for faculty) are far fewer (than the other disciplines)," Williams said.

"It would be really dumb to lose a quality person over five or six thousand dollars," Dill said.

"If you don't have the (market value) factor, you won't be able to hire quality faculty for the university," he said.

"For those disciplines that are hot (high in demand), there will be tendencies to need market value," Williams said.

Business faculty can walk into the work force and make double what they can make at a university, Dill said.

"I've never known anyone to go into education to get rich," Betz said.

Although many people are in education for reasons other than money, it still has to be fair, Dill

he said.

Budget considerations are ongoing for the year 2000-2001.

"We're now at the beginning of the budget cycle," Betz said.

Betz said he expects other disciplines to submit proposals for salary increases.

He denied answering ;w 6 hich specific fields of study he was referring to.

It shrugged the candy cane, weakkneed, sparkling glitter persona and revealed the tobacco industry's thorn, resting in the side of cigarette smoking.

Between Hollywood spitting out the Bruce Willis robot and cookie cutter movies for Will Smith, it has allowed Buena Vista Pictures and director Michael Mann to create "The Insider."

"The Insider" is a movie based on a true story about a battle between the corporate tobacco industry, CBS's 60 Minutes and its crusade to expose the truth.

Jeffrey Wigand, a former tobacco

company executive played by Russell Crowe, comes forward to reveal the truth that tobacco companies know smoking cigarettes is addicting and cause cancer.

Wigand comes forward without help from 60 Minutes producer Lowell Bergman, played by Al Pacino.

Bergman interviews Wig.4nd for 60 Minutes' most important story in history.

The interview could devastate the tobacco industry.

The tobacco industry then begins harassing Wigand and his family so he will not speak out.

After he does the interview, but before the show is aired, the tobacco industry files lawsuits against Wigand and 60 Minutes.

In the spotlight...

UCO biology student has future 'planted'

By Fachaitte Kinslow Staffillriter or all you ladies looking for a new mate, here's one of UCO's most eligible bachelor.

He's 21, single, and charming.

Corey Riley is a senior majoring in biology emphasizing plant physiology.

Boring right?

Not exactly.

To most people, a plant is just a plant, but not to Riley.

"We need plants to survive," • Riley said.

"It's where we get our food from."

Riley works at UCO as a research assistant in the biology department.

Between classes and research, Riley doesn't have much time to join any of the campus organizations.

"Usually when a meeting is going on, I'm in class. I would like to join an organization

F

though," Riely said.

Hoping to graduate in August, Riley would like to take a year off before going on to graduate school.

"I hope that I'll be able to work in a lab or something," Riley said.

Riley would like to receive his master's at Texas A&M. A 1996 high school graduate from Chickasha, Riley originally began college at the University of Oklahoma (OU).

After attending OU for two years, Riley transferred to UCO. "I wanted to attend a smaller school with a smaller student-teacher ratio," Riley said.

Outside of the research lab and classes, Riley likes to play soccer and golf.

Boring right?

Not exactly.

"My dad and I used to play (golf) and he would always take my money," Riley joked.

"So I had to practice a lot."

Riley gives his mother the

credit for being his mentor.

Before Riley's parents got a divorce, his mother never worked outside the home.

"She went out and got a job so she could support my brother and I," Riley said.

"I just commend her on her effort."

Riley tries to earn back the losses from his father by playing golf with his younger brother.

"Now I take his money," Riley said.

Riley also enjoys reading. He especially likes National Geographic.

"I read for knowledge," Riley said. "Something that can be applied to life."

Riley volunteers his spare time at the Red Cross and Assist of Living, which is similar to a nursing home.

"They (the residents) live in apartments, but it has a nursing staff," Riley said.

Although his campus activities may be limited, Riley

This movie is a dialog film without much action or special effects. The story relies on goodole basic acting.

There are not any car chases or any sloppy sex scenes. There certainly are not any lip puckering, ghost watching, Demi Moore divorcing, hormonal animals riding bareback on an asteroid or any

untalented cowboy hat wearing, spur slinging blockheads singing, 'you don't want to see my hand where my hip be at.'

"The Insider" is moist with reality. The movie educates and entertains.

The tobacco industry was able to maneuver through the legal system, ethical system and the media with horrifying ease.

This movie enlightened an important issue: the giant, money greedy corporate structure of the cigarette manufacturers can sell a product that is not required any standards from the Food and Drug Administration.

Philip Morris has recently gone public and admitted that smoking cigarettes causes cancer and all the government does is throw petty fines toward the industry.

It seems that no matter how many people come forward to reveal the dangerous effects of smoking, the industry keeps selling, people keep smoking and millions keep dying.

What did surprise me though is how a program giant with a history of integrity like 60 Minutes could allow its reputation to buckle from outside pressure.

The movie is excellent overall.

Pacino is hypnotic and mesmerizing as his role of a diehard journalist pouring everything life holds into his promise as a journalist.

Crowe plays an astonishing part as a whistle-blower who goes insane from the mental stress of the world against him.

Under Duke's coaching, Hoyden qualified for the quarterfinals in the national debate meet and received the Academic All American Debate Team Award, which is given to a select number of debate teams out of several hundred national teams.

Hoyden also qualified in her junior and senior year for the Jesuit Round Robin. This national award is given to the most successful individual, two person debate teams each fall semester.

Hoyden is now the director of the debate team for UCO. She

also teaches several communication classes.

Hoyden Continued from page 7 speed.

Her hands gesture to emphasize what she is saying, twirling, clenching and clasping.

A myriad of emotions pass over her face as she speaks, conveying that she is sincere in what she is saying.

"Debate," she said, "is not just arguing."

It teaches students to use and develop numerous skills—many they are unaware they posses, she said. She lists such skills as: critical thinking, evaluating arguments, picking up flaws in argumentation, expressing ideas in coherent thought and information processing.

Debate can be a scary experience at first, but it helps to build self-confidence, said Hoyden. Standing in front of strangers and being judged on how well you present your argument can be intimidating, she said. But, according to Hoyden, anyone can be a good debater.

"It just takes a desire to learn and a willingness to expose yourself to new ideas," she said. A strong desire to argue does not hurt one's

chances of becoming a good debater either, she added with an impish smile.

Hoyden has been a debate coach for more than 5 years and plans to continue as long as she can "stand the hectic schedule" of traveling with the team.

The team averages 10-15 tournaments a year, most of them out of the state. She loves the activity and said she can not think of anything she would rather do.

Being a debate coach is a rewarding career, Hoyden said.

As a coach, you watch your students develop their argumentative skills while observing their transformation from insecure children into confident, mature human beings.

Debate is not just arguing.

Of course, winning counts too, she added.

"Rewarding, but in a different way than when I was debating," Hoyden said. When she won, she said she felt a pride in herself for her accomplishment. When her students win, she feels a pride in them for their accomplishments and progress. She said a coach can only lead them, not win for them.

After a debate round Hoyden said they discuss the strategy used and decide what did or did not work. She said she emphasizes that no one is perfect, anyone can win with the correct strategy and from learning from their mistakes.

In between rounds she encourages her team members to observe other debaters in rounds, to pick up hints and tricks that may help them in future debates.

In the future, Hoyden hopes to be able to recall her years as a coach and feel she helped her students develop into strong, confident, individual adults.

"Yeah," she said, "debate is a scary thing, but the things you learn in debate will help you for the rest of your life."

Sanskrit is the language of Hindu religious texts. It is considered by scholars to be the root language of all Indo-European languages.

UCO is the only Oklahoma university with Sanskrit courses.

The Sanskrit class will be held next semester from 2 to 2:50 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The Hindu humanities class will be offered at 1 p.m. on Mt same days.

Vedala said.

"Many students are interested in learning Sanskrit and studying Hindu humanities and philosophy."

The books and videos are an improvement on previous course materials which included handouts from personal books, Vedela said.

The new materials will give students access to knowledge Vedala knows by heart, said Dr. Narasinga Rao, dean of sponsored research and grants.

UCO Latter Day Saints religious institute opens

By Robyn Lydick Stafftfiltiter

T

, he Latter Day Saints Student Association (LDSSA) has a , new home.

The Edmond Oklahoma Institute of Religion is a converted house at 417 N. University Dr. Classes began this fall.

Institute Director David Whitney said the building renovations took a year from the time the church bought the house.

"We remodeled the (interior of the) building between Feb. 1 and May 1," Whitney said.

The building was privately funded by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Institute offers morning and evening classes covering the Book of Mormon and the Old Testament.

The Institute has an impact on Mormon students attending UCO. "It gives them balance between secular education and spiritual education," Whitney said.

"It's powerful. It builds good marriages and future families and provides moral support."

Whitney said statistics gathered by the church show members who attended institutes while in college were more successful in their marriages.

"We teach about the role of a spouse and how to have a good marriage."

There are thousands of institutes worldwide, but UCO is the latest university in Oklahoma to build a religion institute, Whitney said.

The University of Tulsa, Oklahoma State and the University of Oklahoma also have institutes.

Whitney said the four universities have large enough numbers of Mormon students to justify an institute.

"We want 50 students to start an institute," he said.

Whitney estimates there are 20 active members of LDSSA and another 30 community members taking classes.

The adult classes on the Old Testament are held Thursday mornings at 9:30.

"They're mostly mothers whose children are in school," Whitney said.

Book of Mormon classes are held Monday and Wednesday from 7 to 7:50 JESUS CHRIST a.m.

'I came, I saw, I got attacked by secure

By Landon Salyer StaftWnter

Creed would have two hard acts to follow.

Creed's current tour is in support of their latest album, Human Clay which is being hailed as one of the best albums of the year.

I was fortunate to get a few pictures of Scott Stapp (Lead Vocals) of Creed before their security Guard made off with my camera but unfortunately I was forced to hand over the film before they would give my camera back.

Such is life.

I am in the process of trying to recover my film from Creed's representatives and will try to print it soon as they are available.

Stapp admitted on stage that he had woken up that morning unable to speak. He nursed his voice for the remainder of the day so that the show would go on.

Mid-performance he asked the audience if they would help him sing because he was feeling the strain. He said that the show would be "ours" making it a collective effort.

The crowd went nuts. From this point on, Stapp let the audience sing the choruses while he covered the verses. It was very powerful. So powerful in fact that several ceiling tiles couldn't handle the noise.

These huge tiles fell out of the Llyod Noble Center's Ceiling and landed on stage. The crowd loved it.

Creed finished with "What's This Life For?" and was called back out for an encore of two songs before the show ended for good.

reed was explosive Saturday night...too bad their security guard decided to take it upon himself to steal this reporter's camera and deprive you, the reader, of photos of the event.

My camera was taken away and I was physically removed from the area in front of the stage because of a dispute reguarding my credentials. Consider it Creed's loss because it allows me to show pictures of the opening bands: Drain and Our Lady Peace (OLP).

Drain blew me away. They are an all girl group from Sweden, but they are a far cry from the majority of the other female imports America has received in recent Maida gets into years. the music for both Drain delivered a powerfully dark set the delight and that caught many off guard. The bands confused dismay of influences were obvious. Fast and severely the audience at the heavy riffs that reminded me of early concert on October Metallica with a little White Zombie 30 at the Lloyd thrown in, were coupled with Korn-esque Noble Center on the bass lines and a Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) OU campus. style stage performance. In short, these girls rocked and they set the stage for what was to come.

OLP took the stage shortly after mixing —Photo by songs off their most recent two albums.

Landon Salyer Clumsy and Happiness... is not a Fish that you can Catch.

Raine Maida (lead vocalist) stunned the audience with his unconventional style. Maida's vocal range is impressive to say the least and he bounced between octaves without batting an eye.

They delivered their most famous songs: "Superman's Dead," "Clumsy," and "One Man Army," as well as many more obscure songs like "Automatic Flowers" and "Waiting." The crowd was mixed in their response.

The Canada based band was relatively sedate on stage with the exception of Maida, whose spasmodic movements and epileptic stage presence was a far cry from Drain's flamboyant attitude.

There seemed to be some ill will between OLP's lead singer and the boys from Creed. During their last song Maida could be heard saying "...you all just want to hear Creed."

He marched off stage the moment the song ended.

Kerr picked the loose ball up and sloshed his way through the mud to the Bulldogs 45-yard line, after running out of gas he lateraled it back to Jerry Gardner and a key block by Dramahl Johnson allowed Gardner into the endzone for two important points.

"It's unusual for that thing to happen, we tell them to play hard every down, you never know when it will be the difference of the game," Head coach Gary Howard said.

With the momentum on their side the Bronchos took the lead on their first possession of second half.

Southwestern attempted an onside kick, but senior Todd Barnes handled the line drive kick and secured the 18-16 victory.

"It feels good to win the first of three tough games," Howard said.

The 18 year old, Freshman Forward who hails from Norman, OK., is a mainstay on the UCO Soccer Team.

"The team is great. The girls are so nice and the coach is awesome. Everything I do, I can't do without my teammates. They work so hard and we cannot get the ball up field without it starting from our goal keeper."

Coach Mike Cook had a similar response in regards to Kim's performance.

Basket Boo introduces anxious UCO basketball teams

By J.W. Reagor SportsEdaw

T

he UCO Basketball team celebrated Halloween with Edmond children last Thursday in Hamilton Field House.

Basket Boo was an opportunity for students, faculty and family to meet the men's and women' s basketball teams.

There was a costume contest for the children, as well as candy and treats.

Both the men and woman's teams held scrimmages and practice drills.

The Bronchos men's

basketball team also held a three point and slam-dunk contest.

Basket Boo was the second phase of public appearances by the basketball team.

The first was Midnight Madness which first introduced the men's team and began their first practice.

Practices began on Oct. 15 for the Lady Bronchos.

The women tied for fifth place in the LSC North Division last year.

The men will host the Mexican National Team at 8 p.m. on Thursday Nov. 4.

LSC North play will begin on Nov. 20 at Texas A&M-

Kingsville.

We are looking forward to faculty and student support for the basketball team said Jim Seward, head coach of the UCO men's basketball team.

The Bronchos men finished fourth in LSC North Division with a record of 16-11. They led the nation in scoring.

The lady Bronchos are returning three starters from last year and three more letter winners.

The beginning of the women's season is Nov. 19-20 when they will travel to Denton, Texas to take part in the Pioneer Premiere Tournament.

Giving it all...

With a win UCO would have clinched a spot in the Lone Star Conference tournament, instead their season comes to a disappointing end.

"We couldn't score when we had the chances," Head coach Mike Cook said, after the game.

NSU tied it up 1-1 when Christina Simon scored with 23:04 left in the first period.

Jenny Hull scored two more goals to lead the Lady Reds.

The Bronchos end the season with a record of 13-5-1 overall and 5-3-1 in LSC. Holmes finishes the season with 21 goals and six assists, while freshman Kim Brown had 19 goals and eight assists. <

Secondly, without economic security, faculty cannot truly enjoy academic freedom.

Without tenure, which is awarded after a rigorous evaluation by peers, after a period of not more than seven years, faculty cannot secure economic security.

Tenure has been essential in higher education in the United States since 1915 and the founding of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

We have built a higher education system in the United States that is the envy of the

world.

Tenure is essential to the American higher education system that is widely regarded as the finest in the world.

Tenure is based on performance. Tenure in no way detrimentally affects the pay in college or of any faculty member at the University of Central Oklahoma. If Dr. Jones is quoted accurately, the state AAUP takes strong issue with his desire and stated reasons for abolishing tenure.

ublicity would have been a good thing to start when UCO decided to introduce the Metro Transit shuttle system on campus.

First of all, the bus does not have designated stops.

Students are expected to stick their arm out in order to wave the bus down. Many students are unaware of this.

Also, what is the complete bus schedule and route? Does anyone know where it will be at any given time?

The administration did not inform students of this service, sneaking into operation with nary a word.

There has not been another publication posting the bus schedule other than the few stories The Vista has covered on this operation.

There was no advetising on campus through posters,flyers or schedules on bulliten boards.

This service, if presented properly, could have been an answer to many students's parking needs. < John Lurry /The Vista

Associate professor responds to pay card issue To the Editor: he content of the letter by Professor Stephen C. Law in the Oct. 26th issue of the Vista was very interesting. He states that the pay card is a positive recruiting tool for the College of Liberal Arts. According to Professor Law the "pay card is a significant factor in attracting quality faculty to the campus."

I am sure he is correct. The research I discussed with a Vista reporter clearly shows that the UCO Liberal Arts faculty, as a group, is highly paid compare to the combined Liberal Arts faculty at other state universities. This would be a wonderful recruiting tool.

The pay card has a negative impact on faculty recruiting and retention in the College of Business Administration. Our research shows that the UCO Business faculty, as a group, is poorly paid compared to the combined faculty at other state universities.

We get limited inquiries from qualified applicants for faculty positions that have, in some cases, have been vacant

the administration to improve faculty pay. I am not as well connected, as Professor Law appears to be, so I must plead ignorance about this initiative.

I do know that the COBA faculty spent last year conducting a self-study prior to seeking accreditation by a national organization.

I also know that our years work was wasted because we did not meet the minimum salary level of about 80 percent of the national average.

I would like to discuss some of the other points made by Professor Law but time prevents me from doing so.

However, I would like to know how the assumptions I made were "significantly biased and highly questionable."

Please call me, Professor Law, and tell me on what facts you base this comment. My extension is 2151.
