UCOSA withdraws TKE constitution By Trent Dugas

Staff!Nrifor COSA student senators voted to pull Tau Kappa Epsilon's (TICE) constitution and rescind the fraternity's recognition. The resolution was in response to UCO's decision to withdraw membership of TKE for three years. Senators voted 73-1 to ax the fraternity's constitution from recognition. This action will require the TKE fraternity to re-apply for UCO membership in three years. The fraternity will have to compete with the many fraternities on the waiting list. If UCOSA had not voted to pull its constitution, TKE would have been able to maintain their seniority when applying for membership, giving them priority over other competing fraternities. Even with UCOSA's maneuver against the fraternity, UCO still has the last word

when evaluating TKE's return membership in three years. The lone vote to keep TKE's constitution active was from UCOSA Senator, Brandon Freeman. Since Freeman is a fraternity member with ACACIA, he can see both sides to the issue. "I didn't see any reason why they should be kicked off campus," Newman said. Newman suggested UCO use monetary fines to punish the 30year-old fraternity. UCO suspended TKE because of its recent actions while on academic probation. The fraternity returned from a prior three year suspension in the 1998 spring semester. But after it fell short of the needed 2.0 grade-point average, it was placed on probation during the 1999 summer semester. TKE's average as a fraternity was 1.87. While on probation, the fraternity held a all-you-candrink beer party on campus grounds. UCO took swift action and

The resolution drawn up by UCOSA says TKE's actions damage the character, reputation and integrity of UCO and represents a pattern of behavior

RESOLUTION

Continued from front page can't get the right things down at the right time and perform at a level that you need to be performing at then its time to move on," Jobe said. The list of fraternities wanting membership on campus is extensive, Jobe said. If TKE is not performing to the level they should be then give the waiting fraternities the opportunity. "If you miss the boat and are not on the right train then you need to get on it," Jobe said. "If you can't get things together then we need to analyze it and decide to move on to other means." He said the suspension and resolution of TKE is in the best interest of the university. Before the vote took place, Nicholas Harrison, president pro tempore, gave a passionate three-minute speech to senate

members. He told the members TKE violated state law and its own risk management. He also said the fraternity is still participating in activities by recruiting new members, sidewalk-chalking and displaying fliers. He said freshmen are coming on this campus and thinking this is what Greek life is all about. In a Senate hearing days before the final vote, Lynn Means, director of student activities, spoke to the Senate University Policy Committee about the TKE incident. The committee was formed specially for this situation to investigate the facts and report to the rest of UCOSA's Senate. The members of the committee were also UCOSA senate members. Means told the committee

TKE's actions during the three year suspension will guide UCO when determining their reinstatement. She said if the fraternity continues to recruit new members, sidewalk-chalk and post fliers then their return in three years is unlikely. All fliers posted on campus by student organizations must be signed by Lynn Means. She said the TKE is posting fliers with her name forged on them. Means told the committee she was disappointed in TKE's actions but UCO will not budge from its decision. TKE has been a strong Greek organization in the past, but currently it does not have a voice at UCO, Means said. Rep. Michael Willis from the Senate University Policy Committee also spoke to the UCOSA Senate before the vote took place. Willis said the committee is only reacting to TKE's actions. "Maybe in three or four years this situation will become a positive one and we will have a new group of people at the fraternity who can truly add to the campus and offer the campus their talents, skills and abilities." The President's Office is distancing itself from UCOSA's desicion of pulling TKE's constitution. Keith Weber, research

assistant for the president's office, said UCOSA can pass any legislation they want but it is not ethical for the president to get involved during the process. "Right now, the decision that Dr. Gage recommends to the president, and the president agreed to, is the three year period of non-recognition," Weber said.

"It's not right for us to get involved with the UCOSA process and if they come back with a more stringent penalty then we will consider it at that time." Resolutions approved by UCOSA must pass through President Roger Webb's office for approval before action takes place.

Popular date rape drug is easily obtainable By Robyn Lydick

SUWittier "Gamma? Oh, you can find that anywhere. My friend makes it in his bathtub." This comment was overheard in a class recently. The UCO student, who wished to remain anonymous, said he saw gallon bottles of the homemade drug at his friend's house. "It's a drain cleaner mixed with a floor stripper," said Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. "Then they (the people who make the drug) pray they get the concentrations right." GHB is available to anyone who wants the recipes, Woodward said. "It is probably cheaper and easier than cooking methamphetamine," Woodward said. GHB is sold in scoops. A halfgram scoop sells for $5, Woodward said. A half-hour search on the Internet turned up three recipes for making gamma hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, a source for the one chemical that is not available in any grocery store, and several descriptions of the drug's effects. Each site warned against combining the drug with alcohol. When taken with alcohol, GHB can cause extreme drowsiness or a type of coma, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) report said. Because of this reaction, GHB has gained popularity as a "date rape" drug. "GHB is made as a liquid or a powder," wrote Charles Marwick in a 1997 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "It usually turns up as a colorless, odorless liquid with a mild soapy, salty taste which is easy to mask." It is easy to add to a drink or saturate a cigarette without a person's knowledge. "Students have got to be aware of their surroundings," said Todd Duncan, director of residence life. "Be aware of what is going on around you. "First of all, decide if you are going to drink," Duncan said. "Our best protective decisions are made

before we drink. "These drugs are delivered with alcohol, Duncan said. "Don't accept an open container." Duncan suggested that students go out in pairs. "Go with a buddy and don't get separated from the group." While possessing GHB has not been outlawed in the United States, 25 states either have placed or are considering placing it on their controlled substances lists. Oklahoma made GHB a schedule I drug on Nov. 1, 1998. Schedule I means the drug cannot be used at all. No research is allowed and doctors cannot prescribe it. GHB was popular withbody builders and atheletes because of it's steroid-like effects. The making or selling of GHB is illegal. Side effects of GHB include seizures, loss of peripheral vision,

insomnia, nausea, anxiety, tremors and coma, the NIH report said. "One of three things will happen," said Woodward. "They will experience a powerful euphoria, knock out or fall into a coma." This does not deter fans of the drug. Users describe the drug's effects as "like alcohol, but without the hangover," "the best sex I've ever had" and "like X (ecstasy)." Voluntary users reported their experiences on the Lycaeum web site, a clearing house of recreational drug resources. The users reported an enhanced sense of touch, increased duration of erections, longer female orgasms and energy jumps. Users also reported a synergistic, compounding effect with other drugs, including MDMA (ecstasy) and LSD. <

Student arrested on an illegal drug charge By Robyn Lydick

Staff:Nitlter

he Oklahoma County District attorney has filed charges on a UCO

student. Dennis Parker, an East Hall resident, was arrested Sept. 19, a police report said. He is charged with possession

of a controlled substance. Kandis Schmidt, who said she had been in Parker's dorm room, was taken to Edmond Medical Center after she passed out in the lobby of the residence hall. A witness told UCO Department of Public Safety Officers (UCODPS) that Schmidt came out of the residence hall stairwell and asked for a cigarette,

the report said. Schmidt said she was on "gamma." She told officers Parker had given her the drug. Gamma, or gamma hydroxybutyric acid, is listed as a schedule I drug in Oklahoma. It became illegal on Nov. 1, 1998. Schmidt also told officers she had drunk a large amount of Captain Morgan rum.

Schmidt is a student at Colby Community College in Colby, Kan.UCODPS officers searched Parker's room. They found a prescription bottle with a "clear, thick liquid" inside. Part of the label had been scraped off, the report said. Parker told the officer it was "G."A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19.

Lack of communication delays opening of cyber cafe By Trent Dugas

Staff, Her

he opening of the new "cyber cafe" computer lab in the University Center has been delayed from the scheduled, early fall semester. The delay stems from planning changes, financial changes and lack of communication between the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association (UCOSA), and the administration. The expected new date of completion is early January, when students come back from Christmas break. The cyber cafe is a place students can go and relax, watch television, work on computers, drink coffee and visit with friends. The plan is to place the cyber cafe in the west side of the University Center's cafeteria. Financial and hiring responsibilities will fall into two sections. The computer lab and student employees are funded by student technology fees (STF). The lounge area with a coffee bar, couches and chairs, and all construction is funded and handled by the administration. James Barrow, supervisor of computer lab employees in the library micro lab, will also supervise the student employees in the cyber cafe. Barrow said he helped gather computer and financial information for UCOSA and handed them a proposal. "The numbers I wrote up for all the equipment and to staff it from January until July 1, came up to around $90,000," Barrow said. He said since the computer lab is an open lab for students, the money and employment will come from STF. Barrow does not know how much money is set aside from STF for the computers and employees but said the $90,000 estimate is a fair figure. Jarrett Jobe, UCOSA president, said UCOSA has

only $65,000 from STF to cover computer costs. He said the $65,000 was originally set aside for a student work-room in the University Center. "Well, in the last year or so we questioned the need for a student work-room and thought it would benefit the students more to have a cyber cafe," Jobe said. He said they have already spent a large part of the $65,000 on computers which will transfer to the cyber cafe.

We have spent approximately $40,000 on new computer equipment. Jarrett Jobe UCOSA President

"We have spent approximately $40,000 on new computer equipment," Jobe said. "That's the problem right now, trying to locate everything," Jobe said. "We located the server and about three computers, we know where those are all at." The computers that are missing were purchased some time ago and was put away until the student work room was finished. Since the student

work room idea fell through, the missing computers will go into the cyber cafe. If STF funds do not cover the cost of the 28 computers, Jobe said, the cyber cafe will have to utilize older, unused computers. Jobe said he hopes the administration helps out with buying some equipment along with the planned renovations the university is covering.

UCO police captain makes right career choice By Fachaitte Kinslow

aw enforcement or life and health insurance?

UCO police officer or state trooper? Captain Chris Wooldridge, department of public safety (UCODPS), describes his life from the time he chose law enforcement as a career, to his future plans after retirement. Born and raised in Oklahoma City, Wooldridge attended John Marshall High school and graduated in 1979. In school, Wooldridge was part of the Explorers, which is a higher branch of Boy Scouts. The program allowed members to get involved in special programs such as law enforcement or paramedics. Wooldridge volunteered with Edmond Police Department. Wooldridge was the youngest of five children. The sibling right before him was 11 years —Photo by Chieko Hara older and a big influence.

it (law enforcement) was something I felt like I wanted to do," Wooldridge said. Wooldridge started with the Edmond Police Department at the age of 18 as a dispatcher. In 1982, he was promoted to police officer. Wooldridge left the police department in 1989 to sell life and health insurance. "After a few months, I realized that was not my calling," Wooldridge said. In November of 1990, Wooldridge became employed at UCO for the DPS. "I really like working for UCO," Wooldridge said. "It's different than municipal (local government)." For a law officer, the tolerance level of the captain is pretty high. "I take everything day by day," Wooldridge said. "It doesn't mean things don't get done, because they do." According to Wooldridge, crime at UCO hasn't changed much in the past years. "It will vary between book theft and medical calls toward the end of the semester," Wooldridge said.

"But the more people that are here, the higher the crime rate will be." The biggest crime on campus is theft ranging from the stealing of parking decals to car stereos. Crimes that bother Wooldridge the most are incidents that involve young people. For example, any accidents that include alcohol or drugs. There can always be improvement in the judicial system and Wooldridge has his own hypothesis. He believes that the process from the initial arrest to the court process takes too long for certain cases. "The courts are overloaded with cases that shouldn't be there," Wooldridge said. "We can simplify the process and still keep everybody's rights." Wooldridge also believes the media may have a part in the criminal system. "The public must know (of a crime situation), but sometimes

Continued from page 8 the new stories go overboard," Wooldridge said. "But most of the time it's good." Although Wooldridge believes that some of the criminals do want attention from the media, he doesn't believe the crime rate will drop if the media was less involved. "We just have to leave it up to the court system (to decide between the real criminals and the criminals seeking attention)," Wooldridge said.

Outside the law system, Wooldridge enjoys spending time with his family. "My kids are involved in sports, so I try to watch them as much as possible," Wooldridge said. Woolridge also likes to take his family camping. "Someday I'd like to go to Australia or Europe," Woolridge said. Other than taking a vacation in other countries, Wooldridge has no plans of leaving UCO anytime soon .<

"Hopefully, they are going to cover printing costs and costs for student workers because under our budget we can't afford that." Jobe said. By UCOSA covering the costs of some of the computers and saving the administration money, Jobe said the administration will use the saved money to pay for student workers.

UCOSA is responsible for the confusion and lack of communication between them and the administration, Jobe said. "Before three weeks ago, we were on separate sides of the ball game so-to-speak," Jobe said. "We have the students thinking one .thing and the administration thinking

another. We were going for the same project and overall goal but we did not know the other was working on it." He said since the last meeting with the STF committee, they found out where the administration was and where the students are and can now meet at a "crossroads" and start heading in the right direction.

We are going to have a blues theme like the Blues Brothers with the complete car and we are all going to wear the black hats and sunglasses." Now that the hard part is out of the way, construction can begin. The construction starts on a flatbed trailer, probably the same trailer that delivered the chicken wire and chickens, and the float builds from there. A wooden frame then needs to be built in the shape of the Blues Brothers car. She said once the chicken wire is in place around the wooden frame, tissue will need to be stuffed into each chicken wire hole. Chickens now may be placed inside the wire mesh if so desired. Then spray paint, decorations, and any other final touches should be applied. The decisions of where the people will stand, live people that is, and what they do while the float floats down the road are then ironed out. Wells said some of the necessities that help out the float

She said welding is needed somewhere among the glitter and glam of the float, but before the chickens are in place. Then the promoting begins. Wells said they will post signs in business windows in Edmond to promote the parade. They also came up with the idea of standing on the side of the street holding up signs that read, "Come to the parade on Saturday," Wells said. Do not stop though, they are not washing cars. "It could be worse," she said. The easiest but most important things to remember when planning a float is: a vehicle is required to pull the float and not to start building too early because the float might fall apart, Wells said There are many different

techniques and procedures that are available when building a float. Some use papier mache, some use tissue and some use extravagant costumes. Some sororities con other fraternities to help with the wood work. But not all float builders actually need chickens. Buffy Payer, activities chairman and member of Sigma Kappa, said plans for their theme is still in the making but it will include a Greek goddess. She said boyfriends and members of Sigma Tau Gamma will help them build the wood frame and then the sorority will take over from there. "Last year we had some guys come over and help us build it because we're not real handy with wood and stuff," Payer said. She said last year they waited until the last minute to begin construction. Waiting until the last minute to

build the float is not a good idea, she said, but once again they are starting late. She is not worried though because the float will float come parade day, she said. The same basic materials are needed for their float including chicken wire. Payer said the sorority members on the float will wear costumes. Their plan is to wear togas to match their heavy Greek theme. Of course, wearing sheets as costumes can only happen if the weather permits she said. Both sorority members agreed building a float is fun competition and tightens Greek life. The parade starts at 10:30 a.m., October 16, at the UCO library. No need to worry, chickens are optional and as of this time, no fraternities or sororities will have —Photo by Chieko Hara live chickens to match their chicken wire Tanya Bourne, freshman, is fixing the wooden frame of a float while Heather Ross, junior, helps her hold it in place.

CLEP tests can help students steal time from the classroom By Ercilia Zolkiewicz

summits, 44Aalthough you can't 'test

out' of college, taking dvantage of the College Level Exam Program (CLEP) testing can accelerate your study program," said Barbara Mills, acting coordinator for testing services. Passing a CLEP exam offers a substantial savings of both time and money. Most CLEP tests are timed and take an hour and one half, whereas, each three credit hour undergradute course requires 40 hours of class time. "Cost for an institutional CLEP exam is $50," Mills said. Fees for a 2000 level undergraduate class is $63.20 per credit hour; $189.60 for three credit hours, said a representative from the bursar's office. Therefore, a passing score for a three credit hour sophomore level course saves $139.60 in tuition, the cost of a textbook, and 38 and one half hours of class time. Students planning to graduate from

UCO can take the institutional exam. An institutional exam is graded on campus. "Results for an institutional exam are usually available in 24 hours from exam time," Mills said. National exams cost $55 and are recommended for students planning to graduate from another university. "The extra $5 is really a clerical fee:' Mills said. Results for the national exam can take as long as three weeks to get because the test is sent to a national testing center for grading, she said. "We issue an official score letter and keep results on file." "CLEP (the national office) keeps students' scores for five years." The testing center submits passing scores to the records office and the student receives a "P" (for pass) for the course, she said. "Students receive full credit for the course, but it does not affect their GPA," she said. A failing score is never submitted to the records office and does not show up on transcripts, she said.

It doesn't take an Einstein to pass a CLEP exam, she said. "The premises behind CLEP tests is that persons who pass truly do possess the knowledge of the course," Mills said. "They do not need to be sitting in class." They could take other classes that are more advanced or fill a time slot with another required class, she said. "Students should make sure that the course (that the CLEP replaces) satisfies the demands of their study program and the demands of their major," Mills said. Preparation tools are readily available, she said. Study guides are available in the copy center, located in University Center, Room 146, she said. "Most study guides only cost eighty-six cents to a dollar," she said. Borrowing a fellow student's book or notes to study is another "get ready" resource, she said. —

"Students should come prepared and not wait until the last minute," Mills said. "We have some people come in `cold turkey' ." "But, these tests are not designed for guessing," she said. "My advice is check into it early and prepare ahead of time," Mills said. Test times must be scheduled in advance. The tests taken most often are the English composition and the college algebra tests, she said. But, testing services has a long list of CLEP tests and departmental exams available. "If we don't have the test here, we can order it for you," Mills said. The format for most of the exams is multiple choice, however, a few include an essay, she said.

The testing center can inform students of the testing format for each test before deciding to take it. On exam day, students must provide a photo ID and the receipt from the bursar's office reflecting payment for the exam, she said. Testing services provides the test and answer sheet. "Sometimes students don't realize that we must ID them," she said. At times, the testing center is very busy, Mills said. "We tested over 5,000 students during the 1998-1999 academic year." "That includes all testing such as the ACT college entrance exam and departmental exams," she said. The testing center is located in —Photo by Chieko Hara Thatcher Hall, Room 301.

Bronchos invade East Central Tigers By Justin Villines Sportsrititer

choes of a stampede are still being heard at East Central University after the number three ranked UCO Bronchos used a high powered ground attack to hand ECU their sixth defeat of the season.

After a 43 yard punt return by Senior sensation Johnnie Jones, the Bronchos would only need three plays to score. Sophomore Greg Briley had a one yard run to give the Bronchos a 6-0 lead.

The Bronchos were ready for Ouachita Baptist Saturday in a LSC game.

Bronchos scoring two goals and Senior Jamie Lane also scored two and had one assist. Freshman Kim Brown had two assists for the Bronchos. Coach Cook used several players in the game. "Ouachita is in their first year, so we played a lot girls who don't get a lot of time," Cook said. Jennifer Goodall, Nicole Hess, Missy Herzer, and Liz Martin all scored goals for UCO. Jeorgia McGinty, Kristen Hill, Christina Folluo, Erin Willard and Connie Barker each had an assist. The Bronchos defeated Ouachita Baptist 9-0. The Bronchos picked up

another LSC victory with a 3-0 win over Harding Friday afternoon. UCO out shot Harding 28-5. Goalkeeper Amanda Hillier had three saves on the day. The Bronchos defense was led by Lisa Hansen, Courtney Lindsey and Jessica Mathieu. UCO extends their record to 11-2-1 overall and 3-0-1 in LSC play. The Bronchos will travel to Angelo State and Midwestern State this week in two key LSC games. They return to Tom Thompson Field on October 21 and face East Central University.

This week the homecoming committee will accept votes for homecoming king and queen. Nominees were chosen on the basis of leadership, campus involvement and academic excellence. Every student is encouraged to vote for homecoming royalty. The Vista would like to extend our support for the contestants of this activity. The homecoming king and queen campaigns usually show how hard the candidates have worked to help build the UCO community. Take advantage of the flyers before you vote. Find out who is really dedicated to UCO according to your expectations, and vote for the candidate you feel best deserves this honor. Most importantly - vote. Good luck candidates!

Broncho spirit is not lacking, reader says if any, other than their very exceptional band. As a student sitting on the visitor's side, you could see plenty of empty space in the home team stands.

To the Editor: his is in response to the Sports Commentary article by Mr. J. W. Reager. I am still trying to understand the purpose and reason for the angle you chose with regards to Thursday's sport's commentary. I was at the game on Saturday and as for showing school spirit and pride, Langston's was little

yelled out, and I quote, "Forget Langston, we are with UCO., Langston sucks." If that is what you call "Langston Pride," then I am glad UCO has never displayed it. And as for the party that was advertised somehow, somewhere, I was there from kickoff to the final whistle and never heard about any party that was being hosted by the Langston Lions. Perhaps now you can focus on our fans, our team and our spirit.

The visitor's bleachers were full last Saturday and I am excited that more and more students, faculty, parents and alumni are seeing the winningest college football team in Oklahoma in the 90s. You would think that they could get a little more praise for being #3 in the nation. Congratulations Bronchos, Jarrett E. Jobe UCOSA President
