UCOSA State of the Campus address solicits balance By Stacy Brasher StudentWriter

CO Student Association (UCOSA) President Derrek Belase presented a theme of balance during his State of the Campus address Monday in Constitution Hall. He sighted monetary balances, intellectual and physical fitness balances, academic and activity balances and a balance in student representation. The State of the Campus address is annually given by the UCOSA president, much like the State of the Union address annually presented by the president of the United States. "It (the State of the Campus address) is for me to communicate what my ideas are," said Belase. Because Belase is unable to introduce legislation, he uses this method to communicate his ideas to those within the association who can. The first issue Belase addressed was the need for monetary balance. Belase proposed that UCOSA create a list to present to the university president each year, declaring what the student association deems a financial priority. He suggested a balance could be reached in what the administration finds important, compared with what the students feel is important through creating such a list. Specifically, he sighted the "absolutely horrific condition that our buildings are in," as an issue students and administration are currently disagreeing over. Belase also proposed intellectual and physical fitness be balanced through support of UCO President W. Roger Webb's wellness center proposal. However he took a moment to "dispel the rumor" that the center would come in the

way of a child care facility or other necessary building improvements. "There is not $7 million out there waiting to be spent," Belase said. "This money is going to be collected to fund the wellness center and that's all it can be used for." Belase announced that there is a committee being formed to survey the campus' need for a child care center. Several students will be on this committee, he said. "The administration is listening to our concerns and they are looking into building a child care center on this campus," Belase said. While speaking of the intellectual fitness of UCO students, Belase also mentioned his disappointment in professors who continually give "huge exams" during "dead week."

"I don't believe that student activities should be banned (during 'dead week') if professors are going to continue to give regular exams," Belase said. "We are one of the few universities in the state who don't have a real 'dead week' policy, and students deserve this time to prepare for their final exams," he said. "I also feel strongly that fall break should be reinstituted," Belase said. "To my knowledge, there were no students on the committee who made the decision to not have fall break," he said. Thirdly, Belase addressed academic balance on campus. Mentioning some inconsistencies and conflicts with schedules, particularly concerning night classes, Belase proposed the administration better coordinate class

times. He also suggested offering more weekend-only degree programs. Belase went on to discuss the balance of student representation across the campus. "There are a number of committees on this campus where students have absolutely no representation at all," Belase said. "I propose that every committee that has a faculty senate representative also have a student government representative," Belase said. "That provides a balance between students and faculty members that is not currently there." Belase went on to praise the student government for legislation they are currently V See UCOSA, Page 15

Emergency call boxes on campus due for repair By Jarrod Briley StudentWriter

epairs on the emergency call boxes at UCO are scheduled to begin in approximately two weeks, said Lennis Pederson, director of Facilities Management (FM). The boxes have been broken since mid-August.

Call Box Systems of America (CBSA), the company that supplies UCO with the boxes, is responsible for the delay in repairs, Pederson said. "We've (FM) had a history of problems with them (CBSA). It takes several months for us to get the parts," Pederson said. A proposal has been made by officials of FM to begin ordering

call boxes and repair parts from a new company in an attempt to correct the problem. John Norman, president of CBSA, said that he was unaware that UCO was displeased with their service. "We've been doing business with UCO for a long time and have never had a problem." Norman said that bureaucracy

was largely responsible for the delays. "It only takes a couple of days (for us) to repair the boxes. It's the requisition forms that take awhile to get through UCO," Norman said. An order was received by CBSA on Oct. 5. The parts should arrive at UCO in the next couple of weeks, Norman said. Pederson

Opinion over need

n Monday, the UCOSA Senate will vote on the controversial fitness/wellness center. Its recommendation will be one of many factors President Webb will consider regarding building the center. We have learned that the outcry of students against this facility has convinced Webb to reconsider how he proposes such things in the future. His office may even being gauging student opinion before going on record announcing new developments or major campus changes. Keith Weber, research assistant to the Office of the President, has explained why student fees cannot be used to update buildings, such as the one housing the music department. The money raised from such a fee can only be used to provide a facility which may be used by more students than a single academic-centered building. Weber has also said that a new survey is being devised to determine if there is a greater need for a child care facility, than previous years. With these explanations and promises, we are urging the senate to judge the fitness center on its own merits,. Do not view the center as a deterrent to future building construction or enhancement projects. We questioned him on this issue, but we have not lost faith in the word of the president or those who work with him. If he says the decaying buildings and oncampus child care are viable issues he is working to address, we trust him to see them through. <

New holiday schedule upsets UCO's international students

fter reading of the new holiday schedules implemented at UCO, I was once again very disappointed with UCO, due to the university's complete disregard for the international student body. The international students make up 10 percent of the total students at UCO, and provide a significant proportion of UCO's income. As a whole, they are not getting "a good deal" at UCO in comparison to other universities. Firstly, the semester dates were changed so that classes finished one week later than they used to in the fall semester. This has meant that many international students can not go to their home countries to spend the holiday with their families, as flight prices drastically increase on December 12, whereas before the semester had finished by this date.

Now, not only will they have to pay higher prices if they can afford it, but they will take the long flight home due to the short holiday period. The international students at UCO help provide the diversity and flavor that makes UCO great. I am afraid that if such decisions are continually taken without regard to the international student body, this diversity will be lost as the international students will move to universities that take their views into consideration. I am not alone with these sentiments, as many international students have already approached me and expressed their opinion.

UCOSA representative resigns following frustrations with leadership By Kate O'Neill StaffWriter

UCO Student Association representative who resigned last week said it took two months for five of the bills he authored to be introduced on the House floor. Kenny Freeman said he submitted the bills in March but they were not introduced until the last meeting in April, killing all five bills. House bills are required to survive an introduction in the House, a second reading in committee and a third and final reading on the House floor. "I couldn't get a bill to the House

floor if I wanted too...I'm blackballed," Freeman said. UCOSA Speaker of the House Dale Archer said in last year's unicameral system, it took a bill an average of three House meetings to be passed. Archer said he decides which bills are heard on the House floor, and Freeman's were introduced late because the organization had just completed a process of making student government more efficient. Archer said Freeman's proposed legislation added information to the House rules that was in conflict with the Constitution. "I was not going back to a

bureaucratic system," Archer, who coauthored the constitution, said. "The Constitution gives me the authority to set up leadership teams and committees within the House...that's what happens in the real federal system because someone has to be in control of what does and doesn't happen," Archer said. Freeman said all five bills dealt with limiting the power of the Speaker of the House. "I don't agree with the powers vested in the Chair...it's a small dictatorship and the Chair has more power than the President," Freeman said. Freeman said the House leadership

team discouraged representatives from pursuing legislation the leadership doesn't agree with. "If you try to get it to the House floor you won't be heard," Freeman said. "What's leadership if you can't trust it?" Archer agreed with Freeman, saying House leadership wanted to focus on legislation that was consistent with the organization's goals. "If leadership doesn't feel that piece of legislation will accomplish the overall student government goals, that piece will not be heard...that's the system," Archer said.

Decline in attendance hurts ethnic organizations By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy Staffflter

he future of many UCO cultural and ethnic organizations looks bleak, as they grow more desperate for student membership and participation. Over the last three semesters many associations have seen a relative decline in attendance during meetings, said Jason Harris, president of the International Student Council. "We've sent letters, advertised all around campus, even offered to do a pizza party, but only four people showed up out of the 116 we approached," Harris said.

The decline in membership is not unique to ethnic organizations alone, as some of their Greek counterparts have also faced similar disappointments. Harris, who is also the president of the European Student Association, and two other honorary student organizations, Pi Sigma Alpha and Gamma Beta Pi, said it's the same story everywhere. "We've tried everything; advertising, free food. We've even tried calling and inviting them personally but only a few people turned up," Harris said. Out of the 285 current members of Gamma Beta Pi, 50 people showed up at the two meetings held this semester. Most organizations offer students the

chance to participate in social trips and events. However, people "just don't want to be involved," Harris said. "The decline is in all organizations. It is kind of de-motivating when nobody shows up. It puts you off from trying to organize events," he said. However, there are still some organizations on campus which have maintained complete student support. For instance, all 74 members of the Pakistan Student Association showed up and participated in the International Festival, said Ali Hadi, association president. Staggering figures of decline can be noticed in other organizations like the

English Society improves campus life with Movie Night By Michael DeGraffenreid StudeniWriter

he UCO English Society is sponsoring a new Movie Night program. The purpose of this new program, which was the brain child of club sponsor, Tim Morales, and club president, Carletta Rehbine, is to build and improve campus life and show great movies for students and their families to enjoy, said Mark Rehbine, club senator. "When President Webb says he wants to improve campus life for the students living on campus, we take it to heart," Rehbine said. The first movie was Alfred Hitchcock's original

"Psycho," starring Janet Lee, and was shown just in time for Halloween. A showing of "Citizen Kane" is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Nov. 11, in the Pegasus Theater, located in the Liberal Arts Building. A third movie is currently being planned and the club hopes to continue the program into next semester. "We wanted to do more than just be a society, we wanted to have a cultural identity for ourselves," said Carletta Rehbine, club president. Admission is free to all students and their families. The club will also sell refreshments such as popcorn, drinks, and baked goods as a fundraiser for the clubs activities.

English club seeks T-shirt design By Jarrod Briley StudentWilier

A UCO student may find that they have an extra $50 in their pocket, if their T-shirt design wins a contest sponsored by the English Graduate Organization (EGO). All students are invited to enter the contest, said Shawn Mason, English graduate assistant and president of EGO. "We're looking for something other than the typical crappy designs," laughed Mason. "You can quote me on that. I'm sure that people will get a real kick knowing a professor said the word 'crap."' Mason said the designs must somehow include the organization's acronym, "EGO." Mason said he would like to see designs that are, "outlandish, postmodem and bizarre." The cost of printing the designs may be considered by the judges, so the number of colors should be kept to a minimum, Mason said. Designs must be submitted to the English department in Room 101, Liberal Arts Building, by Nov. 15, 1998.

Help with speaking Japanese available By Angel Riggs

Studentiffriter UCO students can brush up on their Japanese speaking skills during weekly free classes in Room 231 in the Liberal Arts Building. The Japanese conversation class is taught by UCO students Natski Kimura and Takaaki Shiraishi, president of the Japanese Student Association (JSA). It is open for anyone wishing to learn more about the Japanese language and culture. JSA holds monthly meetings with various activities such as film nights and helping with community events. "They're (the students) the ones who peak student's interests," in learning about other cultures and languages, said Dr. Marco Roman, associate professor of foreign language. The class is "one of the opportunities for American students to (learn to) communicate with other cultural students," Kimura said. "It's nice to come here and get the native perspective," said Dustin Dirickson, a Japanese foreign language student. The class had no textbooks when they began, but when they became affiliated with the JSA, they were able to buy classroom materials to distribute to students. For more information, contact Roman at 974-5849.

varsity division of the tournament. Jason Heard and Matt Opalka, tied for fourth place. Wetmore, Coffman, Opalka and Heard placed as third, fifth, sixth and tenth place speakers respectively. The topic for this year's debate is "The U.S. Federal Government should amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 through legislation to create additional protections against racial or gender discrimination." "It takes a lot of hard work and

dedication to be successful at debating," said Jan Hoyden, UCO director of debate. "Debaters have to do a lot of research. Almost everything that is true for sports is also true for debating. It takes the same level of concentration and dedication," she said. In another tournament, at Wichita State University, Potts and Mooney won third and ninth place novice speaker awards. A second UCO team of Ashley Bowser and Tony Sherbert tied for fourth place in the varsity competition.

Both were named seventh and eleventh place speakers at the competition. Nathan Kruithof, an individual speaker from UCO, won sixth place in the junior varsity competition. The next tournament for the debating squad will be from Dec. 5-7, at the University of North Texas. UCO will host a debate tournament from Nov. 6-8, with nationwide participation from 25 universities. For more information, contact Hoyden at 974-5584.

Wanted in Minneapolis: Wife WARNING:

emale UCO students who are too busy to look for a husband, need only look toward Minneapolis, Minn. There, David Weinlick said he's willing to marry any woman who'll drive or fly up there to meet him by mid December Weinlick, a 28-year-old salesman, said he got tired of people asking him when he was going to settle down and marry. So about four years ago he told friends, neighbors and family he would marry "Dec. 13, 1998. "

His pat reply became so well known that he's agreed to follow through. But there's only one thing missing from next month's wedding: a bride. Weinlick's now doing everything he can to live up to his promise—including hosting a free party centered on meeting women. Called the "bridal candidate mixer," all single women are invited to the Dec. 13 party. Potential brides will be screened by Weinlick's friends the day of the ceremony. There will then be a vote and Weinlick will marry the winner.

They might start containing a warning label to hit male smokers where it hurts, if a new Bancock label is picked up in the United States. Beginning this week, Thailand will start labeling cigarette packs with a warning that says "Smoking Causes Sexual Impotence." Bangkok newspapers quoted the National Committee for the Control of Tobacco Use in saying that Thailand would be the first country to put a maleoriented warning label on cigarette packs. It also quoted Prakit Vathisathojkit, secretary of the committee, who said there is strong evidence to prove that "smoking affects men's reproductive, sexual and urinary functions." Vathisathojkit added that smoking leads to deformed and sluggish sperm and reduces blood flow to the penis.

Help requested for foster:x6hildren's needs By Stacy Brasher Student

11) 43.4 gird) Citizens Caring for Children

itizens Caring for Children (CCC), a local non-profit organization, is seeking UCO groups to volunteer, donate or coordinate fund-raisers for their upcoming Christmas project. "Santa Stop is an effort to help Oklahoma's abused and neglected foster children receive the gifts, parties and especially the love they deserve," said Diana Harbolt, CCC's Christmas coordinator. Last year, CCC gave two or more gifts to over 700 foster children and hosted three parties as part of their holiday campaign. This year, they would like to involve the UCO campus in their efforts to break the cycle of abuse and neglect.

"It's important for college students to give back to their community," said Lynn Means, director of student activities. "What you learn and gain in college mostly comes from out-of-theclassroom experiences," she said. "I certainly hope organizations, if they have the manpower or fund-raising ideas, will consider participating." CCC is seeking donations of new, unwrapped toys and teen gifts, as well as holiday wrapping supplies. A list of suggested items, or the opportunity to adopt a child's specific wish list, is available at the Edmond office. "The holidays are a really tough time for these children," said Patty Pace, CCC's executive director. "We try to make it special for them and give them a positive experience to

remember." Year round, the group assists over 2,500 Oklahoma foster children from infants to adults. Some of the services provided by the organization include: independent living services, mentoring, career and educational development seminars and financial assistance with post secondary education. CCC also provides foster children free clothing, books, toys, bicycles and other such items through their volunteer-run Resource Center in Oklahoma City, and within the nine surrounding counties as well. Donations can be sent to Citizens Caring for Children, 3317 S. Wynn Drive, Edmond, Okla. 73013. For more information on "Santa Stop," contact Harbolt at 348-9034.

OU should follow UCO's example By James Gutzmer

Sports Writer

klahoma University football is in a state of turmoil this year. The students and the alumni want to oust current coach John Blake due to the losing season. Some even want to bring back Barry Switzer. I doubt that either option will move OU back into the glory days of the 80's. The problem at OU right now is no hope. The students think there is a quick fix for the football team. Sony to say, football teams that are great build from the ground up with a fan base that supports them all the way. UCO is a prime example of a team that is coming into its own due to hard work and fan support. Coach Gary Howard has been at UCO since 1977. He has had his good years and bad. In 1989, UCO went 0-10 on the season. The following seasons, UCO slowly built the team, and record up to 9-0 this season. This type of success is possible because the fans and the school have stood behind the program. OU has to get its priorities strait to become the power it once was. The students and fans need to support the team no matter what comes. Last week was a show of real dedication by UCO fans. Despite a soggy, rainy day in Weatherford, UCO fans toughed it out to cheer on the team they love. I commend the Bronchos' team and fans for the support and dedication to a team, a school, and a coach we can all be proud of. <

Quarterback earns 10,000 for UCO said.

By James Gutzmer

SportsWriter

he Burger King Corporation has named Scott Condict, UCO's senior quarterback, Division II College Scholar Athlete of the week in honor of his outstanding athletic and academic achievements and his commitment to mentoring the community's youth. Burger King has donated $10,000 to UCO's general scholarship fund in his name. The award will be presented by UCO's Athletic Director, John Wagnon, and Condict's parents during halftime of the November 7th game against Southeastern State.

Scott Condict "I'm very happy. He is the second person to win the award. Our quarterback last year won it. We are very happy to have student athletes of that caliber," UCO head coach Gary Howard

The awarding of these scholarships is based on academic achievement, dedication to community and athletic ability. Condict maintains a 3.7 G.P.A. as a Marketing major, and starts as quarterback for the Bronchos. He is also involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Alpha Chi and Delta Mu Delta business societies, Impact Yukon, D.A.R.E., and Assistant Youth Minister at Trinity Baptist Church in Yukon. Burger King names eight winners a week throughout the 10-week 1998 football season. Four of the weekly winners will be chosen, one from each

college division, as finalists for the Burger King Scholar Athlete of the Year Award and earn an additional $25,000 for their school. This award honors the nation's top scholar athlete in college football and Burger King will set up a $100,000 scholarship endowment at the school of the honored winner. The winner of the 1998 Burger King Scholar Athlete of the Year Award will be announced during the ESPN2Home Depot College Football Awards Show on December 10. Last year's winner was Peyton Manning of the University of Tennessee, who was the number one draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts.

UCO tennis team wraps up their fall season By Darrell J. Weidner

SportsWriter

he UCO Women's Tennis team ended the fall season by taking the rain delayed North Central Texas Tournament in Gainsville, Texas. "It took two weeks for us to finish a tournament that should have only taken two days,"UCO Tennis Coach Francis Baxter said. On Friday, the Bronchos defeated the host North Central College Lions in the final match, with a score of 5-4

"We came into the final having to default two matches," Baxter said. The two matches were defaulted by Sunny Nelson and Ashley Snipes. "We certainly missed Sunny and Ashley being in the lineup," Baxter said. The Lions 2-0 lead was cut to a tie when All-American Jana Vnouckova took a 6-0, 6-1 win in the #1 singles match. She also teamed with Misha Jana. Vnouckova Perlikova to take a victory in the #1 doubles match, which brought "Jana is a great player with the score to 2-2. experience, and this has led her to

,,_ INI= 11=111 NM 111=11 11=111

being a three time All-American," Baxter said. The Bronchos' other points came from wins by Sharon Lauver and Leticia Lozada in singles and doubles play. "Starting out 2-0 against a team like North Texas is almost impossible to win, but we have players that looked for and found a way to take five of the seven matches," Baxter said. "We have had a great fall season and it gave our players good experience and competition in preparation for the spring," Baxter said.

FSU's Jackson playing hard for his mom By Alan Schmadtke

CollegePressWriter TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Dexter Jackson nods in understanding as the subject of his sore right hamstring is brought up, nods again when told Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden expressed amazement that Jackson could miss little time with such a significant muscle pull. What Bowden doesn't know is Jackson has conditioned himself to dismiss what he calls "nagging little bumps and bruises." A tug of his heartstrings, that is another matter. Or a twinge in his mother's kidneys. "That's pain. That's real pain," Jackson said. "Your Mom, she brought you into this world, clothed you, took care of you all that time. ... A amstring is nothing." "If you're not beat up and tired after a game, you're not playing hard enough. It's a full-contact sport, wide open for 60 minutes. If you're not prepared to play with a little pain, you're not prepared for football." Or, in Jackson's estimation, not prepared for life, either. Jackson's college football experience, which extends Saturday night at Doak Campbell Stadium against North Carolina, is inexorably tied to his mother's health.

Poetry contest Program offers credit hours, first-hand geography lesson offers national By Ami Maddocks Student Writer attention, CO student Susanna Schoeb is $500 reward one of 614 students nationwide By Leslie Ann McKay StudentWriter

CO juniors and seniors are invited to enter a national poetry contest, which will award two $500 scholarships and the opportunity for winning entrants to read their work at a national convention. The National Federation of State Poetry Societies is accepting manuscripts until Feb. 1, 1999 for the 1999 Edna Meudt Memorial Scholarship contest. To enter the contest, applicants must submit a completed application form along with a titled manuscript that contains ten original poems. Carol Hamilton, creative studies professor and a member of the National Federation of State Poetry Societies, offers some tips to students interested in entering the poetry contest. "Be absolutely sure that you don't have any typing errors," Hamilton said. Sometimes a spelling mistake makes the difference between losing and winning when a few equally good poems are tied for an award. "Be very, very sure about line length," Hamilton said. Sometimes judges are not able to choose the poem that they like best because of line length. "Do not waste a single word. Make every word and every line count," Hamilton said. "Avoid clichés and overused words," she said. Try reading your poem aloud to a tape recorder. The sound of your finished poem is very important, she said. "Give lots of thought to the title to make sure it adds something to the piece," Hamilton said. "Pay particular attention to last lines. They need to satisfy readers but leave room for them to keep thinking." For an application and contest rules, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to, Poetry Society of Oklahoma, Attn: Alice T.

High risk of sexual assault prompts self-defense class By Jarrod Briley StudentWriter

asic self-defense and rape prevention techniques were among the skills taught to UCO sorority members during a Panhellenic sponsored seminar held in the Pegasus Theater, Monday. Although some of the 200 women that attended seemed more interested in how to karate chop a man, most were attentive to the information presented by James Krakowski, UCO police officer and seminar instructor. Krakowski said that women are at highest risk for a sexual assault whenever they are jogging or walking alone, especially at night. "Whenever a person is jogging they are in a completely different frame of mind. They're focused on exercising and nothing else," Krakowski said. This problem can be prevented if women walk and jog in groups of two or more.This gives women power in numbers and makes it difficult for an attacker to sneak up on them, Krakowski said. Women were also informed about the drugs Rohypnol and GHB, commonly known as 'date rape' drugs.

"Rapists will slip the drugs into a woman's drink, wait for them to take affect, and then have their, way with the woman," Krakowski said. Although both drugs are illegal in the United States, Rohibnol is easily available in Mexico. Both drugs are becoming increasingly popular with date rapists. To prevent having the drug used on them, Krakowski said women should not allow anyone to bring them a drink or pour them a drink especially when at a party. Krakowski said that the best way for a woman to prevent a sexual assault is to behave in a confident manner and to be aware of her surroundings. "If a women doesn't act timid, then a rapist may not see her as a potential victim," Krakowski said. If a woman is attacked she should do whatever is necessary to get away. Anything from hitting, kicking, and using car keys as a weapon is a legitimate way of accomplishing that goal, Krakowski said. "No man has the right to make unwanted sexual advances towards a woman. That's all it boils down to. Period."

Columnist calls for UCOSA resignations

oliticians who practice their art without consideration of ethical principles should expect to see themselves criticized by the media and by constituents. Bill Clinton has to live with it. Frank Keating has to live with it. And so do the elected officials of the UCO Student Association (UCOSA). In a news article in this issue of The Vista, it was reported that some legislation was introduced into the UCOSA House of Representatives last spring. The bills were introduced by representatives of the student body who felt the speaker of the house had too much power and they wanted to restrict that power. Dale Archer, the speaker of the house, showed that those representatives were absolutely correct. He used, or abused, his position to keep the proposed legislation from reaching the house floor for discussion until the last session. The UCOSA Constitution, which Archer helped to write, requires that a bill be read three times before it is voted on. By not allowing the five bills to be read, he denied the

representatives of the student body the opportunity to either censure him, or give him a vote of confidence. It is my contention he did this because he did not have enough robots serving him in the house to assure a vote in his favor. His argument, as stated in today's article, is that the bills would have cluttered the constitution and returned UCOSA to a form of bureaucracy. The ability to withhold the legislation from debate is simply, "`...what happens in the real federal system..." America's federal system is a bureaucracy to a large extent. The number of federal bureaus that make recommendations to Congress is staggering. Besides stalling and killing legislation he doesn't want, Archer has attempted to elicit informants to report to him whenever The Vista is going to report negatively on UCOSA activities. According to a reliable source, Archer has also tried to enlist spies in at least one other vital university institution. Speaker Archer is not alone in his practice of unscrupulous behavior.

If you were on campus last spring, you heard that The Vista was in danger of losing its Student Activity Fee funding. Archer and UCOSA President Derrek Belase, the only students on the budget committee, rushed to our office to claim they were defending us against those who wanted to remove our funding. During the controversy, I overheard Belase and Archer discussing which bits of information they were giving the editor of The Vista. Also during that time, I heard that someone on the budget committee was telling a different story than the one we were hearing from our student government officials. I confirmed the opposing story in an interview with a UCO staff member this week. The idea to cut your student newspaper's funding from the Student Activity Fees came from the Belase/Archer axis. While the campus newspaper probably wouldn't have been eliminated, there was a very real possibility that it could have been put under the authority of administration. Who knows, the Belase/Archer axis may have passed legislation giving

themselves the power to censor your newspaper. The same source told me that the Belase/Archer axis is also responsible for taking control of all reserve funds in the Student Activity Fees. While there was no additional funding to be had this year, my source said the axis powers held a meeting, without proper notification, to take applications for reserve funds should any become available. In the words of my source, the axis, "...allowed only a select few to attend [the meeting]." The inequity does not stop there, however. My source told me that the Belase/Archer axis is also a part of the Student Technology Fee Infrastructure Committee, and that they have repeatedly denied requests to fund projects that would help to put UCO in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This information was later confirmed through another UCO source. The Belase/Archer axis' transgressions against the UCO student body do not stop with money, however. When Representative Kenny Freeman (College of Liberal Arts)

resigned, The Vista, under my direction, printed a simple news story about the resignation of a representative. The Belase/Archer axis immediately went into a defensive posture, insulting the reporter and attempting to control the content of the newspaper by insisting that a student representative who resigned under a cloud of controversy was not a newsworthy issue. For the above-named activities—abuses of power and making a mockery of our student government—I am issuing a call for the resignations of Speaker of the House Dale Archer and President Derrek Belase.

"If we are going to be a mixture of traditional and nontraditional students, we must be responsive to each of their unique needs," he said. Belase then spoke about parking controversies. Sighting that the parking committee, which reviews any problems, is no longer a university committee, Belase called for the reinstatement of that committee. advocate open parking after 4:30 p.m.," he added. "I don't think we need any 24-hour designated parking spots." "We don't have that many faculty members on campus after 4:30 p.m., so

I think 24-hour parking needs to be a thing of the past." Belase continued, advocating the former three-tiered parking system, which would better accommodate a growing population of on-campus residents. "We don't have to buy parking permits to park in our own driveways, and I don't think they (residents) should have to buy parking permits to have to find parking on this campus," he said. Belase also announced a program of his which would not require legislation, but that he felt was worth introducing, called "Lunch with the Presidents." Like a town hall meeting, his program would allow students to ask questions and interact with UCO President Webb, the president of the faculty senate and the president of UCOSA, without the hassle of making an appointment.

Latest vampire movie impaled with old cliches By Julie Jordan

Stainiffifer

racula made his screen debut in 1922 as a bald, longfingered monster in the silent film "Nosferatu." A decade later Bela Lugosi was cast as the mysterious Count, setting the standards for vampires with his deep Hungarian accent. And in the 90s "John Carpenter's Vampires" attempts, and fails, to add to the ever-changing story of the undead. When Bram Stoker wrote "Dracula" in 1897, I doubt he had any idea what an impact his Transylvanian Count would have on the world. And I really doubt he envisioned a vampire that could sweep through a room, killing 19 occupants in a matter of minutes. Bram Stoker didn't, but John Carpenter did. In "John Carpenter's Vampires," Jack Crowe (James Woods) leads a team of vampire slayers and one priest with the sole purpose of destroying anything with fangs. But when Crowe's team is celebrating their latest slaughter, an all-powerful vampire butchers everyone at the party but Crowe and his right-hand man Montoya (Daniel Baldwin). The vampire is an ex-priest named Johann Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith) who was rumored to be the first vampire. Crowe vows to hunt him down and uses Katrina (Sheryl Lee) to search for him. Katrina was bitten by Valek and has a telepathic link to him as she transforms into a vampire. The success of any vampire movie depends on one thing: The writer and directors' ability to break through the clichés and come up with a new twist to this ancient tale. The new effects in "John Carpenter's Vampires" include crossbows that drag the vampires out of their nests, and the theory of an original, all-powerful vampire. Carpenter struggles to produce something new and flashy, but can't seem to escape the cliché themes, such as

JOHN

vampires disintegrating upon contact with sunlight. "John Carpenter's Vampires" is entertaining, but relies too much on the gory killings, and too little on a good plot. The blood sucking Count Dracula remains an excellent character 100 years later, but how many different ways can the same story be told? Make Tracks Over

P.M. Dawn's apology accepted; R.E.M. low rpm By Dustin Pyeatt StallWriter

DEAREST CHRISTIAN B-

hough the names of this week's bands have a definite bedtime theme, hopefully they won't put listeners completely to sleep. First on the play list are the sweet lullabies of P.M. Dawn's latest release, "Dearest Christian, I'm So Sorry For Bringing You Here. Love Dad" (Gee Street). If you can stay awake through the title, this CD is worth a listen. This is the first effort by P.M. Dawn that contains no sampling, so it could be described as their first CD all over again. Because of this, the boys sound a little more like novices than the veterans they are. Cameron Greider's guitar is good, as is the instrumentation overall, but songs like "Misery In Utero," and "I Hate Myself For You" do sound repetitive. Whereas the songs "Broken" and "Untitled" sound exactly alike. With their signature vocals and quirky lyrics, P.M. Dawn is not just the heirs to the musical throne of Prince, but what R&B should be. The next disc will make listeners cry themselves to sleep. It's R.E.M.'s latest release, titled "Up" (Warner Bros.). This is not the R.E.M. you grew up with, but the downsized version, sans drummer Bill Berry. And the obvious lack of a founding member does not even begin to describe the problems with "Up." R.E.M. have replaced Berry with heavy electric bass, synthetic xylophone sounds and techno background noise that clashes with Stipes vocals. Songs like "At My Most Beautiful," You're In The Air" and "Sad Professor" are slow and boring. And aside from glimpses of their signature guitar sound, R.E.M. is now nothing more than a backup band for Stipe and his increasing goofiness. The only high points of "Up" are "Lotus," a faster more aggressive song that sounds like an outtake from "Document" and the Top 40 single "Daysleeper." Both of these sound like classic,

UP C-

pre-"Automatic For The People" and prove that they are still capable of making good music, they just won't. After listening to "Up" it's apparent that the wrong person left R.E.M. and that if Stipe had more talent than just his voice a solo career would be more suited to him. But unfortunately he learned from David Byrne and will continue to use R.E.M. as a platform, thus desecrating the memory of a once great band. .4

CollegePressitifiler even of South Florida's nine biggest colleges and universities have turned their campus bookstores over to for-profit corporations. It's meant cheaper books for the students and more money for the schools - and everyone is happy. The University of Miami is the latest local institution to follow a national trend of giving responsibility for a critical student support service to an outside company. In June, the big fish of Follett Corp., which runs 580 campus bookstores in North America, gobbled up UM's small-fish bookstore. The result: Students ended up saving tens of thousands of dollars this fall. "I was able to get almost all my books used this time," said Ryan Provencher, a sophomore from Hudson, N.H. "That can be about $20 a book. I'm taking five courses. For a student, $100 can go a long way." Follett brought in thousands of used textbooks from its main Chicago-area warehouse, said Alan Fish, UM assistant vice president for business services. "In this first semester alone, our students saved $190,000 because they can buy more used textbooks," he said. A used book costs about 25 percent less than a new one, Fish said. Follett also gave a boost to UM's coffers, buying its existing inventory for $2.3 million. The company is assuming all operating costs of the bookstore and will provide $800,000 for renovations. And it will pay UM a minimum of $775,000 a year and up to 9.1 percent of gross revenues, Fish said.

However, UM is pushing savings for students over maximum earnings, he said. "Your gross doesn't go up if you sell more used textbooks." Besides UM, Follett operates the bookstores at Miami-Dade Community College, Barry University and St. Thomas University. Barnes & Nobles runs Florida International University's and Florida Atlantic University's. Nova Southeastern University's is contracted to a local businessman. Florida Memorial College and Broward Community College run their own bookstores. Farther north, Florida State University also uses Follett, while Florida A&M University has Barnes & Noble. The University of Florida continues to run its own operation. "We want to create an environment that makes it easier for faculty to be better teachers and for students to learn," Fish said. If a corporation says it can provide increased service and control costs better than the university can, UM is willing to be convinced, he said. That philosophy is apparent in other places on campus, where colleges are increasingly contracting for food services, shuttle buses, building and grounds maintenance and photocopying services. But few outside contracts come as close to the core academic function as the bookstore. "A good bookstore is essential," Fish said. Without a dependable source of textbooks each semester, the curriculum is in trouble, he said. UM's bookstore operation was profitable and successful up until the end, Fish said. But the world of academic bookselling is changing, and UM decided it was time to bow to Follett's qualifications.
