Four campus organizations lose funding, says UCOSA president By Kate O'Neill

StafPNriter

our campus organizations, whose names were not released, will not be eligible for student activity funding this year because they failed to appoint a senator to UCO's Student Senate. UCO Student Association President Derrek Belase, said 93 organizations made the original Sept. 16 deadline but after receiving several complaints he extended the deadline to Oct. 5.

"A lot of people had convincing "Some organizations lost sponsors arguments my leadership team hadn't from last year and had good strong arguments I couldn't dispute." thought of," Belase said. The extension was available to all campus organizations who missed the first deadline. Fifteen organizations A lot of people had took advantage of the convincing arguments my leadership second deadline, bringing team hadn't thought of. the total to 108 of the approximately 155 —Derrek Belase campus organizations. UCOSA President The remaining 43 groups

are ineligible for the funding because they are religious or political organizations. "This is the first year for the Senate, so I had to be flexible," Belase said. The four organizations who missed this year's deadlines will not be able to apply for a senator until the 1999-2000 school year, Belase said. The Senate has had two meetings this school year. The 15 new senators were scheduled to be sworn in Oct. 12 in the Troy Smith Lecture Hall in the Business Building.

Around the clock dormitory access being considered

Contest design to promote school pride

hat their parents didn't let many of them have, UCO dorm residents say they want— the right to have friends stop by at all hours of the night. In a survey conducted by the UCO Residence Hall Association (RHA) recently, students overwhelmingly said they want visitors to have access to all areas in the dorms or to only select areas 24 hours daily. Many others said they felt having the dorms open to visitors will make on-campus living more attractive to students. "What the survey showed was pretty much as I expected," said Nicholas Harrison, RHA president. "The impression I got from speaking to residents, and from what they wrote on the survey, was that there was broad based support on the visitation issue." Current hall regulations restrict the hours guests can be in the dorms—eliminating overnight hours. Non-residents may visit the residence halls lla.m.-midnight, Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-

he Celebrating Bronze & Blue committee, initiated by Jarrod Noftsger, assistant to the vice president for student services, is launching a T-shirt design contest to increase awareness and promote UCO pride and spirit. The purpose of the competition is to encourage people to wear bronze and blue colors every Friday. The contest is open to all students, staff, faculty, and community members. The designs should incorporate the colors bronze and blue, the UCO logo, and the words "Celebrating Bronze and Blue." No more than three colors can be used and the design should be printed on a 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. There will be first, second and third place awards for the contest. Designs will be judged for creativity and their appeal to the student body, faculty and staff, and the Edmond community.

THEVISTA

magine walking alone from the Liberal Arts Building to the University Center. Imagine coming across a fellow student or professor, also walking alone. Now imagine while passing by him, he pounds you in the face with a Webster's Dictionary. Would you take notice of the passerby who had just given you a supersized spelling lesson? Most students and faculty would. But for many on campus, a smack in the face is what it takes to get your attention. And it's becoming a saddening chronic pattern. Students and professors simply aren't taking the effort to acknowledge each other. Rather, you pass by without even a grunt, nod or any sign that you see each other. Maybe you're scared that saying "Hello" will be misinterpreted— seen as a come-on or a request for a contribution to some obscure "save the chicken" organization. Maybe the word "Hi" has too many syllables. Or maybe a simple smile of recognition takes too much energy—walking is a tough job afterall. Whatever the reason, many aren't doing their parts to make UCO seem the friendly campus it's promoted to be. And everyone from the fresh-off-the-plane international student to the terrified freshman to the tenured professor is suffering. Wouldn't it be nice to walk across campus and have everyone you meet say "Hello," "What's up?" "Shalom," "Howdy," or "Apa khabar?" It might make you feel better about being at UCO, or make your day a bit less lonely. It probably would be a lot better than getting smacked in the face with a dictionary. Give it a try; just say "Hi."

VISITATION POLICY SURVEY Are you satisfied with the current visitation policy? .

2. Would you prefer extended visitation hours?

3. Would you prefer a 24-hour visitation policy? 4. Do you think that a 24-hour visitation policy in the lobbies is an appropriate option and a reasonable accommodation for students who desire extended visitation hours and/ or a 24hour visitation policy? 5. Do you think that designated floors with extended visitation hours and/ or a 24-hour visitation policy is an appropriate option and a reasonable accommodation for students who desire extended visitation hours and/ or a 24hour visitation policy? 6. Do you think that expanded visitation options would make the residence halls more attractive to students?

la.m. Friday and Saturday. Nearly 940 dorm residents were sent surveys Sept. 20, which asked them if they wanted to change the visitation policy. Almost 140 students responded. Of the respondents, 71 percent of residents in both East and West halls said they were in favor of allowing visitors access to the dorms at all times. They said guests should be allowed unlimited access to the dorms—including sleeping quarters—if supervised. Twenty-nine percent said they opposed changing the policy, noting that the dorms should continue to restrict when guests can visit. Yet, students who were eager for a change in visitation hours said they felt coming to college is a time for independence. They said the dorm visitation hours are too restrictive, similar to "living at home with mom." Like Sean Cornwell, freshman, they said they want the opportunity to experience new freedoms. "I'm for (total -24-hour access) for the fact that it would be nice to have a girl over to watch a movie, and she wouldn't have to leave at a certain time," Cornwell said. He noted that unlimited visitation hours could promote promiscuity, however. "It could promote students having sex (in their rooms). That's true."

PAGE 3

A lesser majority, 53 percent, said they want 24-hour access available only in the lobbies. Under this plan, students would be able to receive guests at any hours, but limit their visit to the lobby area—a more public venue. Residents would have to supervise their visitors at all times. Yet, 47 percent of respondents said the lobbies should be offlimits during late hours. Harrison said more students support making the entire dorms 24-hour access, because the lobbies don't allow as much freedom for meetings. "A lot of the survey results showed that the (residents) thought having 24-hour lobbies was a good start, but not enough," he said. "The impression I got is that they support a 24-hour lobby policy, but they want to go through with the next step." Not everyone agreed, however, that UCO should take any steps toward opening the dorms to late-night callers. Several, like Lisa Woods, freshman, said unlimited access to the residence halls is a violation of privacy and unsafe. "I'm totally against having the entire dorms open 24-7.• don't want a bunch of guys walking around the (women's) halls," Woods said. "Besides, they could have access to the bathrooms and that would be (dangerous),",

She said, however, that she and many of her friends felt that the lobby area was a good place to allow 24-hour access. "I don't want anyone else's boyfriend in my room. But it's fine to have them in the lobby," Woods said. Whatever feelings, the matter is not yet settled. The RHA will again survey residents and appoint a committee to analyze possible problems related to 24hour access. That committee then may write a resolution for change and send its recommendations to UCO administrators for approval. "If they chose to have the lobbies open for 24-hour access, that could be done by next semester," Harrison said. "But opening the dorms (completely) would take longer..-.maybe a year." If •24-hotir access is made official, UCO dorms likely wi4 mirror other major state schools such as OU and OSU. The :University of Oklahoma dorms designate floors. as 24hour access, and. restricted access. There, upper claSsmen may choose to live on unlimited visitation floors, but underclassmen are restricted to floors which have designated visiting hours. Visitors to OU's dormitories are allowed in lobbies at all times, if they are, superviSed by residents. -

Student says The Vista over-exaggerated improvised exit of audience members t seems that whoever wrote the article "Don't Leave Mad, Just Leave" has over-exaggerated the exit of those of us who left the Second City Improv Show. Did you not notice that no one yelled rude coments, threw anything, or even made excessive noise? This "segment

of society" that found the show distasteful just got up and walked out, simple as that. The rest of us who left later, did so after an actor purposely pointed out that group's exit, ridiculed them and made the unfair and biased comment that "God is dead."

he Oklahoma section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) will hold its fifth annual event for the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., -Oct. 24 at Ouail Springs Mall. UCO associate professor of chemistry and ACS officer Dr. Cheryl Frech will be one of several UCO professors to participate in the event. Students and faculty from OSU, Southeastern OSU and Moore High School, along with UCO, will host the event.

activities," Frech said. Shows will be presented at the Dillards court area every hour. Activites include mixing slime and making a glue-like substance called gak will. Students and faculty are doing shows with bright lights and wizbang chemistry, Frech said. The theme for this years National Chemistry Week is "A World of Color," and winning entries from elementary and middle school poster contests will be on display. Dr. John-Michael Ferguson, UCO assistant professor of chemistry, will also be a presenter at the chemistry demonstrations. Ferguson said the UCO Chemistry Club will be doing color experiments, such as a traffic light experiment. There will be demonstrations little kids can participate in and others that everyone can watch, Ferguson said. "The idea is to get people to see that chemistry can be interesting, and it can play a crucial role in everyday life," Ferguson said. National Chemistry Week is an outreach program of the ACS and is aimed at enhancing public awareness of chemistry contributions to everyday life and the nation's economy. ACS local sections, industrial chemists, educators and technicians observe National Chemistry Week Nov. 1-7. <

College costs climbing, new study shows By Adolfo Mendez

CollegePress NEW YORK—(CPX) — Students attending public universities are paying an average of 4% more in tuition this year compared to last year, a new study says. Meanwhile, students at four-year private schools are paying about 5 percent more, an average of $14,500 for the year. Depending on the type of institution, students will pay anywhere from $66 to $723 more than last year, reported the College Board, which releases a study on college costs yearly. That's just tuition. Students can expect to pay up to 5 percent more for room and board this year, too. Commenting on the latest figures, College Board President Donald M. Stewart said that "the cost of attending college presents a steadily rising challenge to man y Americans—

particularly the most financially disadvantaged." At the same time, however, the financial aid available to those students was $60 billion, up 6 percent from a year ago, according to the College Board. But most of the increase in financial aid was money students have to pay back — loans. "For the better part of the last 20 years, we have been drifting from a grant-based to a loanbased form of financial aid," Lawrence E. Gladieux, the College Board's executive director for policy analysis, said. Stewart encouraged colleges to do more to hold the line on rising collegecosts, but he also said most parents overestimate the costs of getting a higher education. "The truth is that the majority of Americans often overestimate the price of attending college and may be discouraged by those miscalculations," Stewart said. He noted that majority of all students at four-year colleges and universities pay less than $4,000 per year for tuition and fees. While acknowledging that a college education is not "inexpensive or easy," Stewart said that families should consider it an investment in "earning potential and learning potential" that may require "foresight, planning, prudent saving—and perhaps some sacrifice." The findings, reported in Trends in College Pricing 1998, are based on data collected in the College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges, 1998-99.

UCO senior challenges society to battle Alzheimer's disease he great thing about doing this column is meeting people. When I go out with my notebook and pen, I never know who I'm going to find who is willing to talk or what issue will be important to them. Sometimes, the issue chosen is abstract, and sometimes it's intensely personal. Today, the issue is a personal one. Krystal Constable just learned that her grandmother has Alzheimer's disease. Krystal, a senior majoring in history education at UCO, chose as her issue better care for our elders, especially those with Alzheimer's disease. "We don't have enough associations to take care of Alzheimer's disease," she said. Krystal already has looked into the issue of care for her grandmother, and for others afflicted with the disease. One of her primary concerns was the cost of prescriptions. "They (the patient) think they have a good deal, and some do," Krystal said. "But Medicare and Medicaid are not taking care of it for most people."

Krystal said she has not yet done enough research to determine whether the government should be doing more to combat Alzheimer's or provide better health care for its victims. "It seems it's mostly special groups working on it," she said. She is concerned about the care currently provided to many patients. "Too often Alzheimer's people are stuck in a home with a Wanderguard on their ankle and that's all," she said. Krystal's family is planning to take care of her grandmother themselves. Krystal said she is dealing well with the knowledge of her grandmother's condition. She suspected the cause of her illness long before the doctors offered their official diagnosis. "It took forever," she said. "They tried to blame it on old age, but now that she's deteriorating rapidly, they diagnosed it as Alzheimer's." Krystal's pauses in speech seemed to give away more inner turmoil than she wanted to express. "My grandma has been my best friend since I was three,"

she said. "It's hard." Krystal's research has led her to another discovery that isn't easy to accept. "The hardest part is knowing it's possibly hereditary," she said. "Which family member will have it next? What line is it passed down?" She said her grandmother was lucky because she developed the disease late in life. In an effort to protect herself, Krystal has started taking vitamin E, a supposed deterent to Alzheimer's. Despite the personal tragedy of having a family member diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Krystal is not ready to ask the government to divert funds from other disease research and funnel it toward Alzheimer's. "AIDS is depleting our population," she said. "We should keep the money there." That isn't to say she's letting the government off easy on research of other diseases. "Alzheimer's has been around forever," she said. "So has cancer, and I think we should have a cure for that by now, too." Another thing that concerns -1111111111•111*.....5.,

Krystal is the public perception of Alzheimer's patients. She said the public makes fun of the disease when they shouldn't. "When Ronald Reagan was diagnosed, they made fun of it way too much," she said. "It's not funny. When someone's sick with it, they know they're not right. It's very hard when that reality hits them." People with Alzheimer's disease don't just forget family members, Krystal said "They forget everything— how to button a shirt or brush

their hair." Krystal said the best way to combat the disease is through education. "The Alzheimer's Association does a good job," she said, citing events like the annual Alzheimer's Walk in Ft. Smith, Ark. "It's getting better. I just wish there were more things written about it." Thanks to her willingness to talk about her personal affliction, there's now one more piece that has been written about the issue.

Music conference ends in pain of a divided soul By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy StallWriter

CO's annual Oklahoma Music Theory conference, held last week, opened new dimensions for musical composition. The program brought together university professors from all over Oklahoma, giving lecture recitals on the cello, piano and tonal harmony. The "Sacher variations" for cello, performed by Dr. Tess Remy-Schumacher of UCO's Music Department, is a typical example of an intellectual organization combined with the natural system of sound, made interesting by the creativity of the performer. The piece simply could not be perceived by the mind through hearing alone. The performance of "Tess variations" for the cello by Dr. Sam Magrill, professor of music, and Schumacher were also created by the same combinations of intellectual organization and sound, strikingly superior and appealing to the ears. Professor Marshall Tuttle, from Langston

University, performed a profound expose of Wagner's "use" or "stretch" of tonality, followed by an alternative perspective on compositional theory by Dr. David Yeagley, professor of humanities at Oklahoma State Universitry, Oklahoma City. Yeagley's theory is based on a new use of tonal harmony, with a replication of tonal center, in the form of "chordal effect tone harmony." He also played a tape of the New Jersey Chamber Music Society members playing a slow movement from his duet for the oboe and bassoon. The show ended with a fascinating analytical presentation of Copland's "Piano variations" by Leon Whitesell of UCO's Music Department, performed by Manuel Carrillo, a UCO graduate student. However, the composition could not be made beautiful, and released the intentionally abrasive, abusive and angry qualities of Copland. Atonality, in its aggressive forms, is a representation of the pain of a divided soul; a mind separated from the heart, which is a characteristic of Copland's finest works.

Bronchos buck the Bisons By Darrell J. Weidner Sports Writer he UCO Broncho soccer team split two games this weekend in Lone Star Conference play against Harding University, and Texas A&M-Commerce. On Friday, the Bronchos traveled to Searcy, Ark. to face the Harding Lady Bisons. The Lady Bisons fell to the Bronchos in a 2-0 match up. The Bronchos took 31 shots

Jamie Lane in the game, scoring two goals. Both of UCO's goals were scored by Jamie. Lane. "Jamie is one of the (student soccer) club players that made the team and she is getting better with every game," said Cook. Lane made a total of seven shots on goal. Bronchos' goal keeper Amanda Hilliard only had to defend against two Lady Bison attempts on the goal during the 90 minutes of play. On Sunday, the Bronchos moved on to play Commerce, Texas, where they lost a 2-1 LSC game to the Lions. The Bronchos' only goal of the game came from Jeorgia McGinty in the first period. The Bronchos' performance over the weekend brings their record to 6-7, with a Lone Star Conference record of 3-3. The Bronchos' next home game will be 3 p.m., Oct. 16, at Tom Thompson Field.

Fiesta smelling like a rose By Andrew Bagnato CollegePressWriter CHICAGO - It's a matchup made in Rose Bowl heaven: topranked Ohio State vs. No. 2 UCLA in a battle of unbeatens. There's only one problem. If it happens this January, it's going to happen one time zone east of Pasadena - in the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. With half the college football regular season still to be played, that's a linebacker-sized "if." But one day after Nebraska's shocking loss at Texas A&M, the major polls Sunday gave the Buckeyes and Bruins the prime positions for the first superalliance national title game. The Buckeyes (5-0) retained the top spot after thrashing Illinois 41-0 in Champaign. The Bruins (4-0) replaced the Cornhuskers at No. 2 after rallying to whip then-No. 10 Arizona 52-28 Saturday night in Tucson. "We don't care if people want to put us first or second or 25th or wherever," Bruins quarterback Cade McNown told reporters in Tucson. "We proved that we were the best team on the field (Saturday night)."

A lot of other people care especially Rose Bowl officials. They knew the price of progress could be high when they agreed to join the superalliance, trading a half-century tradition of pairing representatives of the Big Ten and Pac-10 for a slice of the lucrative new postseason scheme. But they couldn't have dreamed that the first season might produce one of the more tantalizing matchups in the longrunning rivalry between the Big Ten and Pac-10. Still, the Rose Bowl has its eyes on an attractive consolation prize - Notre Dame, which improved to 4-1 with a convincing 28-9 victory Saturday at Arizona State. Under the superalliance selection procedure, the Rose Bowl would be allowed to fill its Big Ten and Pac-10 slots with teams drawn from a pool of major-conference champions and at-large qualifiers. If Nebraska rebounds and wins the Big 12 title, for example, the Rose could pit the Cornhuskers against the Fighting Irish. Or if either UCLA or Ohio State stumbles, the Rose could match them against Notre Dame.

FREE NEW PAGER!

If UCLA's performance Saturday night was any indication, the answer likely is yes. Trailing 28-24 late in the third quarter, UCLA exploded for four unanswered touchdowns, the last three coming on runs of 54 and 20 yards by Arizona native Keith Brown and a 64-yard pass from McNown to Danny Farmer. The Bruins don't have long to bask in the glory of their big victory.Saturday, they play host to unbeaten Oregon, which leaped to No. 11 in the AP vote this week.A Ducks upset would further muddle the picture. But anything seemed possible after Nebraska, winner of three national titles in four years, tumbled to No. 8 in Sunday's AP rankings, its lowest spot since 1993. The Cornhuskers lost their first regular-season conference game since 1992 because their running game, a problem most of the season, failed to produce under pressure."We set lofty goals and there was no room for a loss in there," defensive end Chad Kelsay said. "We set the goal of winning them all, just like every Nebraska team expects."

We set the goal of winning them all, just like every Nebraska team expects. —Defensive end Chad Kelsay The pairings won't be set until an upset-laden regular season plays out. And there promises to be the usual measure of controversy surrounding the only mythical title in college sports. And there's another twist: UCLA is balking at making up its game at Miami, which was canceled due to Hurricane Georges. Would 10-0 UCLA deserve the nod over, say, a 12-0 Tennessee, which rose to third in the AP media vote after whipping then-No. 7 Georgia 22-3 Saturday in Athens, Ga.? And what about a 12-0 Kansas State, which rose to No. 4 after a shaky 16-9 victory over thenNo. 14 Colorado in Boulder?

half. Scott Condict had a hard time passing in the first half, going 0-for-4. The Tigers did not fair much better. UCO's defense stopped the Tigers, only allowing them to complete one pass in the half for 10 yards. After the half, the Tigers moved the ball down the field on their first possession to tie the score 7-7. ECU was keyed by a 45 yard pass to the UCO 2-yard line. UCO came right back, driving the ball 13 plays for 53 yards. The Bronchos got some help with a pass from Condict to Shannon Hall for 24 yards. However the drive stalled on ECU's 27-yard line. The Broncho's Ronnie Gulikers field goal attempt of 45 yards missed. UCO was unable to make any significant yardage until the fourth quarter. The Bronchos marched down the field for 47 yards but came up short. Todd Barnes caught a pass in the series to move the ball for the Bronchos. Condict was sacked to end the drive, putting him on the sideline with a sprained ankle. Time ran out on ECU's final drive forcing overtime. The Bronchos got the ball first in overtime. UCO got the ball on the 25 to start the overtime. From there it was all Donner. He rushed five times to score the touchdown. Gulikers' extra point was good, putting UCO up 14-7. Then it was ECU's turn to try to tie or win the game. The Tigers pushed their way into the end zone for the score. Making the score 14-13. ECU decided to go for the win with a two-point conversion. The pass failed, intercepted by the Bronchos, ending the game. UCO won 14-13. The Bronchos will play next Saturday at Harding.

SportsWriter CO squeaked past Lone Star Conference North Division rival East Central University 14-13 in overtime last Saturday. "It's a credit to the players. They never gave up," Head Coach Gary Howard said. The Bronchos moved to 6-0 on the season, and 4-0 in conference play. The Bronchos had two players that rushed for over 100 yards.

In the first quarter, the Broncho defense shut down ECU's offense only allowing the Tigers 10 yards total offense in their first three possessions.

Donner was next, running the ball around the right corner to score. The score after one quarter was 7-0, UCO. In the second quarter, UCO's defense held off ECU's offense, not allowing the Tigers to move into Bronchos territory in the first half.

Regents' "Internet Chat Night" provides students with admissions, financial aid information By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy Staff Triter

on't know which college to go to, or how to get financial aid once you're in college? UCO students can obtain answers to college admissions and financial aid planning through "Internet Chat Night." The event is a nationwide Internet chat session, set up by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE). The live chat session for the 1998-99 fiscal year began last week, sponsored by the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program (OGSLP) and other agencies throughout the nation. Information was available through the link "Mapping Your Future" on the web site www.ogslp.org. The web site had 271 hits between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., said Katie Drayton, public relations specialist. "This interactive event is designed to help students navigate through the maze of career, college and financial aid information, all from the privacy and convenience of a personal computer,"

said Alice Simmons, OGSLP executive director. Several topics related to admissions and financial aid were addressed during the session, including how to prepare academically for college. "We try to answer questions about paying for college, how to determine the eligibility for financial aid and how to complete financial aid forms," said Laura Callahan, OSRHE director of communications. There were 150 people participating in the session at one time, and that is "good news," said Callahan. "This is the highest number this year since the program began," Callahan said. This chat session is the first of a series of chat night events offered by "Mapping Your Future" for the 1998-99 academic year. Other scheduled sessions begin Dec. 2, with information on free application for federal student aid. Information on careers, internships and summer jobs will air March 3, 1999; and tips on college and career planning for non-traditional students go on the web June 16, 1999. For more information, contact Callahan at 5249180, or e-mail lcallahan@osrhe.edu .

Professor helps Southerners overcome their drawls By Bill McDonald Knight-RidderNewspariers COLUMBIA, S.C. - Leigh Ann Spell, an associate professor at Columbia College, has tackled some pretty tough challenges in her role as a language and speech pathologist. Her most vexing assignments, arguably, are in the areas of "accent modification" or "accent reduction." These are euphemisms, of course, for what some Southern families consider to be heresy: ridding students of the twangs and drawls their parents bequeathed to them. It might come as a surprise to many readers, it certainly

did to me, that South Carolina ranks only second to Alaska in the number of dialects spoken. The state has more than a dozen distinct ones, according to research conducted by some linguistic scholars. (This figure shouldn't surprise anyone who has ever lived in Charleston and heard "Toe-WARD" frequently used in place of "toward.") S'uthern speech. An Indiana native who speaks "Standard American English," Spell has a Ph.D. on the subject of language. She also coaches actors whose roles call for particular accents or dialects. "Accent" and "dialect" are used interchangeably by most of us, Spell notes.

And while they are -related, they aren't the same: "Accent is a part of dialect; it's how we pronounce different words. Dialect refers more specifically to grammar and vocabulary." To her credit, Spell is sensitive to the resentment we Southerners feel when others stereotype us because they've watched too many reruns of "Hee Haw" or "The Dukes of Hazard." She had the good sense to marry a Southerner. Spell also has coached secretaries in the Midlands who have "excellent stenographic skills," but whose accents do not set a very professional tone on the telephone. She teaches them, for

instance, that it doesn't make a good impression to say "gummint" for government or "murican" for American" when talking to clients, let's say, in Manhattan and Montreal. Our Southern speech is culturally rooted, of course. And while a lot of people think Southern English is substandard, it isn't, Spell said. "It has its own clear rules of grammar and vocabulary." Spell doesn't try to "improve" her clients English. She simply demonstrates the difference between their versions of it and Standard American English - the English that's acceptable in today's business world. One should be happy for the strengths of Southern speech -

its warmth and melody, Spell says. But one should also smooth out the twang and nip off the drawl. We should do it because people who mispronounce their vowels (rine for rain) and draw monosyllables into diphthongs (hay-ul for hell) don't come off as mental giants. I also read recently in "Psychology Today" that 40 percent of the first impression we make comes from our• voice, while less than 10 percent comes from what we say. So listen up, yall. How you say something can be a lot more important than what you say, doncha know. Don't forget that, you hear? -4(

Virtual university slow to get started By Roberto Sanchez Knight-RMderNewspapers SEATTLE - It's supposed to be the model university of the future but it has no campus, no faculty - and until this month, it didn't have any students. Western Governors University, one of the nation's largest efforts yet to build a fully "virtual" university, has struggled to get off the ground, despite the encouragement of high-tech businesses and the political backing of 18 state and territorial governors. Since opening its virtual doors to the public Sept. 3, the school whose purpose is to provide courses via the Internet, video and other so-called "distance education" methods - has received only about 100 applications. Officials at WGU are not releasing enrollment counts to the public, arguing that those numbers are a bad measure of its success. "What too many people are getting into is beating up on WGU because we are not up to 1,000 students," said Jeff Xouris, spokesman for WGU. "That's unrealistic." The school's business target, Xouris said, is enrolling 1,000 to 2,000 students by next year. There is interest among potential students, Xouris said, and WGU's Web site has been getting about 100,000 hits a day since the school opened. Before that, there were maybe 100 to 200 daily hits. He said that interest hasn't translated into enrollments because WGU doesn't yet have a track record or a name people can recognize. Its approach also is new and people might not know what to make of it. Officials at WGU welcomed _news that their school will be eligible to disburse federal financial aid. The Higher Education Reauthorization Act, which passed Congress last week, named WGU as a "demonstration program," giving its students access to aid. Details still must be decided by the Department of Education. WGU is an education corporation formed by governors

Ricky, played by Jeff Goldblum, works for the Good Buy Shopping Network (GBSN) and has been in a sales slump for 27 months. Kate Newell (Kelly Preston) is hired to help get sales back up and nothing is going their way until they run into "G" (Eddie Murphy). "G" is a "holy man" on a spiritual pilgrimage, and when he collapses from heat exhaustion, Ricky is stuck with the hospital bill.

That is until Kate shows the boss the numbers are up, and with "G" instructed in the right direction GBSN's sales could really go up. "G" turns out to be a sensation and Ricky has to decide if money and power are the answer. Eddie Murphy and Jeff Goldblum give astounding and believable performances, avoiding what could have been an extremely corny movie.

Colleges gather to take closer look at race relations By John Mooney

KnIght-ffidderNewspapers NEW YORK (KRT) — William Paterson University already requires students to take a course in race and ethnic studies, but officials said the New Jersey school may start weaving these topics further into the curriculum. New courses focusing on race are among the possibilities at Bergen Community College, too, as is more recruitment of minority faculty and a planned survey of the racial and social climate on the Paramus, N.J., campus. Rutgers University-Newark hopes to hold several forums on race, not just forfaculty and students, but also between the school and the neighborhoods of Newark in which it is located. These were among the dozens of ideas discussed Wednesday at

a conference of New Jersey, Connecticut, and New York colleges as faculty and students broached ways to promote better racial understanding on their campuses. The Racial Legacies and Learning conference at the City College of New York is one of more than 50 such gatherings of representatives from campuses across the country this fall. Organizers said they weren't looking for breakthroughs in the thorny issues of race in higher education, such as affirmative action in admissions, the topic of an ongoing national debate. Instead, organizers and participants said, they hope to get people on campuses to talk more about these issues and what they can do to promote the increasing diversity of their students. Wednesday's participants plan to reconvene in March at Bloomfield College in

ranged from speeches about policy and politics to commentaries on race relations that included dramatic readings of African-American slave writings. In between, small groups convened around tables to delve into topics including the rules of "political correctness" and specific programs schools can offer to promote diversity. Several said the diversity effort must be made throughout the campus, from classroom curriculum to faculty Race is always makeup. The Bergen Community hard to talk about.

"I think schools like William Paterson are already engaged in many of these things, but what this conference does is help us see what others are doing, how we compare, and what we can do to improve," said Pedro Martinez, WPU's assistant vice president for academic affairs. Staged in the stately Great Hall on CCNY's campus, the program

"There are salary scales that limit us to what we can offer," said Calvin Woodland, BCC's vice president for student services. "And also, just the location [of the campus]. Some minorities are attracted to certain areas." Other participants relished the frankness of the discussions. "Race is always hard to talk about," said Heather MacLennan, a sophomore at Bloomfield College. "There is a lot of emotion involved, and people are afraid what others are going to think of them. They are afraid to talk about something they don't know about." But MacClennan, a 19-yearold Chatham resident, called the discussions a "powerful" way to start breaking down the barriers. "And it's important that we do it more often," she said, "not just in setting like this, but also among our friends and peers." A
