UCOSA president to continue education at Oxford

By Julie Jordan

u

StallWriter CO Student Association president, Derrek Belase, will graduate in May 1999, but his education is just beginning. Belase will attend Oxford University next year on an AcademicYear Ambassadorial Scholarship assigned by the Rotary Foundation Trustees.

"I was contacted by the Rotary Club in my home town of Carnegie (Okla.) about applying," Belase said.

Belase, a criminal justice major, filled out an application and after an interview and a recommendation by his hometown Rotary Club, his application was passed on to the district Rotary office.

There are three district Rotary Clubs for Oklahoma, and Belase was one of three applicants

interviewed by the Oklahoma City district.

He was informed he had won the scholarship and Oxford was his first choice of universities to attend on the scholarship.

"I always wanted to go to Oxford if I got a chance to go overseas," Belase said.

He will study sociology for one academic year, usually nine months, at Oxford. The hours he earns will go toward a master's degree that he will finish in Oklahoma.

While in England Belase will also travel around the country and represent the Rotary club.

"It is a great opportunity to go and live in another country and experience a different culture," he said.

After comlpeting a master's degree in sociology, Belase plans on going to law school.

Aside from his job as UCOSA president, Belase also works as a dispatcher at the Blanchard police department.

I always wanted to go to Oxford if I got a chance to go overseas. It is a great opportunity to go and live in another country and experience a different culture. —Derrek Belase

MR. CASTRO, ORLANDO HERNANDEZ IS SHUTTING DOWN

SENATE Senators demand sensible representation

THE PADRES' HITTERS/

T

he formation of the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association Senate was harshly criticized by this paper. Later, the senators were asked to always remember why they were there.

Our hats are off to the senate for doing a fine job in their first weeks as our representatives. Rather than letting the more experienced UCOSA members pass legislation at will, the senate is demanding to read the laws they are asked to vote on. When they don't understand an issue or an item, the senators ask questions and demand sensible answers.

Since most campus organizations only meet monthly, news of their senators' performance may be slow getting to the members. Many others may never know how or if the senate is working.

We just wanted to take a moment to inform the campus that the senate is doing its job in an admirable fashion, and to let the senators know that their work is appreciated. .<

Student questions "six ticket" rule

W

en I came to UCO I picked this school because of the small school atmosphere and the none worry of my family being able to come to my graduation. I am the first female on my mother's side who will be receiving a college degree and my family is very proud and want to be there when I walk across the stage.

With the "six ticket rule" one of my grandparents will be left out and about twenty other loved ones. I

was wondering from my fellow students if they feel the six ticket per person at graduation is right? And would they like it changed? I personally would like it changed. I have worked hard for four years and would like to have my family there to see me receive my reward. Is there any way this situation can be changed? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Melinda Belcher Senior, family and child development

Building conditions should be a priority over fitness center

I

n his article last week about the proposed fitness center, Jarrod Briley quoted President Webb as saying, "If the students on this campus aren't interested, then we won't do it." President Webb, there are many students on this campus who not only lack interest, but who would take it as a direct insult if you were to proceed with this project.

I am referring to the several hundreds of fine arts students who attend UCO. The condition of our facilities is positively disgusting. The music building has a leaky roof, damp rooms, moldy air ducts, and extremely inadequate space. The art building is no better. And wasn't there an article in The Vista this summer about the mildew and damp in the photography darkroom? Three out of five music students will tell you that they never had allergy problems until they came to UCO. Some faculty members have even been forced to seek early retirement or to move their offices to other buildings in order to escape the filthy conditions. Seven million dollars could certainly fix a lot of those

problems.

Let me give you an example of a problem we deal with in the music department. For every available practice room in the music building, there are approximately 20 music majors. Each major is required to practice one hour a day per hour of applied lesson credit. Each major is enrolled in 2-5 hours of applied lessons. So you do the math.

It isn't like this is the first time all this has been brought to your attention. Why are we still being ignored? Fine arts students contribute a lot to this campus, presenting art exhibits, concerts, and theatrical productions that draw in many supporters from the Edmond community.

We provide our services (very often gratis) for campus lunches, meetings, and other events. It's time we felt some support coming from the other end.

How many papers and letters do we have to write? How much of our personal, expensive V See LETTERS, Page 3

Presidents Leadership Council reaches out to community needs

Got milk?

Continued from Page 2 equipment is going to be ruined by the damp and mold, or, as has occurred recently, stolen from inadequate storage areas? How many doctors do we have to pay to tell us that we won't get well until we get away from UCO? HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU TAKE US SERIOUSLY? UCO has some of the best arts faculty in the state. In my opinion, that is the only reason that a fine arts major should consider this school.

One trip around the music or art building would definitely cause them to think twice. And no $7 milliondollar fitness center is going to change that. I do think that a fitness center is a good idea, but it really shouldn't be a priority right now.

After all, what is the point of recruiting students for this university if it can't provide the quality of education that they deserve?

First things first, President Webb.

We came here for an education, not a workout.

—Amanda McGinnis

Student can't have milk and drink it too To Chartwells, n October 20, I used a meal on my student I.D. and guess what? There was no meal to eat. What's the problem?

Three times this semester I went to the cafeteria to get milk with my meal. Guess what?

There was no milk. What's the problem?

I'll tell ya! You cafeteria scientist (owners) come in every six months or so and think you can do a better job than the people who actually work there. Well, ya can't!

Hazel and her crew has been doing just fine before you got there. There was always sandwiches or pizza during the afternoon and there was always, always milk. Since you've been here it has been absolute chaos, mostly during lunch and dinner. People in other people's way, longer lines in the food line, people pushing people out of the way to get milk, coffee, salads, etc. What's the problem?

I'll tell ya! You tried to fix something that wasn't broke in the first place. Leave Hazel and her crew to do the job they're perfectly able to do. Chartwells, go away!

ne of UCO's largest student organizations is giving back to the campus, and Edmond, by making sure the needs of several local charities are met.

The President's Leadership Council voted last year to require members to bring a dollar cash donation, canned food or an article of clothing to each meeting said Lynn Means, director of Student Activities.

"The members of PLC feel like the University has given them so many opportunities they wanted to give back to the University's community," Means said.

The initial donations were scheduled to benefit the PLC Help Center, an emergency supply closet for VCO students, faculty and staff in need. But after no one took advantage of the Help Centers Services, Means said, the Council looked for another charity to benefit.

The council recently donated the entire contents of the closet to the Jesus House, an Oklahoma City homeless shelter, said PLC President Natalie Herbic.

Herbic also said that PLC is conducting an on-going school supplies drive for underprivileged children which has already helped four local elementary schools.

"Edmond supports UCO and we want to show that UCO supports Edmond," Herbic said.

Means said PLC has also participated in the Adopt-A-Highway program for the past eight years, making sure two of the streets surrounding the University are kept clean. She also said PLC members plan to adopt several needy families during the holiday season, providing them with food and gifts. <

Chemistry club promotes creativity with colorful designs

By Katie Hawk

e creativity of students and faculity will be visible as they tie-dye T-shirts during National Chemistry Week noon-5 p.m., Nov. 4 in the general chemistry lab of Howell Hall.

Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS) is hosting the colorful event.

"This is our third tie-dye project, but the first time we have advertised it to the campus," said Rebecca Sanders, SAACS

T

president.

Participants can choose from an array of designs including: spiral, starburst, v-shaped, and heart.

Imagine the rainbow, and the color choices are evident.

"We soak the shirts in basic solutions to treat the dyes so they won't fade. That way the tie-dyes will last forever," Sanders said.

"They are called 'tie' dyes because the shirts used to be tied, but now we use rubberbands," Sanders said.

To tie-dye a T-shirt, an order form and money must be turned in to the chemistry department's adminsitrative secretary in Room 314 of Howell Hall

by Oct. 23. Forms are available on the bulletin boards located inside each UCO building.

The profits will support the SAACS Anaheim, Calif. trip in March, to receive an outstanding chapter award from the American Chemical Society.

UCO organizations to promote awareness during AIDS Walk '98

By Mark A. Schneberger

StaffWriter

O

klahoma women and minorities are being infected with HIV at a higher rate than any other group, according to state AIDS statistics.

Yet, leaders from UCO student organizations last week said it's time for that trend to stop.

That's why two sizable UCO groups have banded together to join in the AIDS Walk '98—a fundraising and education effort to help those living with the HIV disease, while boosting awareness of AIDS. The Gay Allience for Tolerance and Equality (GATE) and the Sigma Kappa sorority will both have members marching in the walk, which begins at noon, Oct. 25, at the Myriad Botanical gardens.

Opening ceremonies are at 1 p.m. and participants start walking at 2 p.m.

"It is important for GATE to be a part of this as much as any other group.

AIDS is a disease that affects everyone," said GATE President Michael Willis.

"The members of GATE want to show the Oklahoma City area that UCO, and in particular GATE, cares about the vicitms of AIDS and supports the fight against this dreaded disease."

Not only are members of UCO clubs encouraged to join the AIDS walk. All students are asked to do their part to stop the spread of the HIV. "We're doing it to (increase awareness," said Kim Smith, Sigma Kappa member. "If people feel comfortable being a part of the (walk) they should join us. It's a great cause."

Although about 50 studenrs from both organizations will participate in the event, some students said they wouldn't join the

walk becuase they feel AIDS is under control.

That belief is far from accurate, said Kay Hollaway, Executive Director for CarePoint, a consortium specializing in AIDS recourses and education.

"Currently there is misinterpretation that HIV disease is no lonfer a threat to our communty. This is so untrue," she said.

"Although AIDS death rates have declined recently due to new drug therapy, new infection rates have not declined. The epidemic is far from being over."

Willis added that AIDS related deaths have also declined in the homosexual community, but no one is safe from infection.

By no means is it a 'gay disease.' In fact, the population segment that is currently seeing the largest growth in HIV

and AIDS is heterosexual women," he said.

"Most importantly, though, is the fact that AIDS is a disease that everyone is at risk of catching. Which is why we all need to stand together and fight this disease.

While the tone if the walk is a serious one, the march is also being promoted as a fun way to take positive steps against AIDS. Radio station KISS-FM, one of the walk's sponsors, will be at the walk, giving away free prizes from noon-2 p.m.

Other sponsors, Schlotzsky's deli, Harolds, Oklahoma Gazette and the HiLo Club will also be present.

After the walk, participants will also be treated to a small music festival, featuring artists David Holladay from Los Angeles, Peter Krauss and Lisa Turci, Khepra NuRa Khem, Glenn Sulley, Catholic Cantors Consortium and the Metro Men's Chorus.

Fall tour filled with New Mexico sunsets, photo opportunities

By Katie Hawk The Taos Pueblos in New Mexico. (Staff photo by Katie Hawk)

StalfWriter

CO's final fall break has come and gone, but 18 students have about 8,000 photographs capturing their Fall Break memories.

The 18 students traveled by charter bus to Taos, N. M., Oct. 14-18, for the "New Mexico Word and Image" tour.

Students photographed 11-25 rolls of film each.

The purpose of the tour is for the students to have fun and explore their creativity in a wonderful place," said Dr. Terry Clark, sponsor of the tour and chairman of the journalism department.

Traveling along with the students were Dr. Clark; his wife, Neysa; Dr. Woody Gaddis, retired journalism professor; and his wife, Bea. Clark said his favorite part of the tour was "watching students' eyes open when they saw New Mexico?'

After an 11 hour drive, students first opened their eyes to a sunrise visit of Pecos National Historical Park, 25 miles southeast of Sante Fe. Students walked the one and a quarter mile trail snapping pictures of the Pecos Pueblo ruins and the Mission Church.

The tour then entered Santa Fe, where students experienced the Santa Fe Plaza, full of shopping and historical landmarks.

That evening, the tour went to Ranchos de Taos church to capture sunset photographs.

"The Taos Ranchos church was photographically appealing?" said Mike Walker, photography senior.

Each day in Taos, the students received free time to —

go shopping and visit the town of Taos.

'We walked about 20 miles around Taos to capture photos that not everyone else had," said Mark Lowry, photojournalism junior.

On Oct. 16, the tour headed for Taos Pueblo, a one thousand year old Indian community and a favorite visit for many students.

"It was fascinating to see the way the Indians live at the Taos Pueblos," said Hiromi Inoue, general journalism senior.

"The Taos Pueblos exposed me to someone else's culture and caused me to know that others live that way and it's their choice," said Lauren Wylie, journalism junior.

"When I was at the Taos Pueblos, I got into this great conversation with two Native Americans. They had so much to say about the beauty of their home and their struggles to be understood. I was amazed. They gave me an eagle feather as a token of friendship," said Kelly Crow, magazine journalism senior.

After the Pueblos, the tour visited the Rio Grande Gorge, a 650 foot deep earthquake fault with the Rio Grande River running through it.

At the Gorge, cold winds chilled students as they snapped photographs from a highway bridge.

Two unexpected events occurred that evening: It began to snow and the bus experienced transmission failure.

The snow did not spoil the tour, rather it "enhanced the surroundings and added a lot more beauty," said graduate student Richard Glazier.

Snow flurries became visible in the dark, while the tour visited the Taos Mountain Ski Valley.

TAOS Continued from Page 6 going to another world. You can't beat it," said Kimberly Simpson, math senior.

When the bus arrived back to the hotel from the Taos Mountains, the transmission failed.

The bus driver was unable to correct the problem.

Therefore, a new bus was driven overnight from Oklahoma City to Taos.

The next morning when the new bus arrived, the students swapped their belongings from the old bus to the new bus and traveled back to Ranchos church for sunrise photographs.

After the church, the tour made its way to the city of Chimayo.

In Chimayo, students were able to photograph the El

Nino church and its surroundings.

The tour then made one last visit to the El Grande Gorge for photographs.

After the Gorge, the tour headed for its final evening in Taos where students completed their shopping and took final photographs.

On the morning of Oct. 18, the students loaded their belongings and boarded the bus for a visit to the ghost town of Cerrillos.

In Cerrillos students photographed a historical church and a turquoise mining museum.

After Cerrillos, the students loaded the bus to return to Oklahoma.

Fifteen minutes into the journey for home, the bus took an unexpected detour.

It began to travel the ups and downs of steep hills from a

"I wondered if we were lost," said Patrick Will, public relations junior.

'We found out we could cut off about 35 to 40 miles by taking New Mexico State Highway 41," said Gary Patrick, driver.

The bus arrived at midnight to UCO. The tour was worth one credit hour and the students must produce at least four mounted and framed photographs for display in the Donna Nigh Gallery, Jan. 28-Feb. 17.

Week-long events focus on alcohol-related problems

By Madhumathi Krishnamurthy

StaMiler CO's Alcohol Awareness Week begins Monday Oct. 26 and will run through Friday Oct. 30.

Events kick off with a tombstone making session from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday, Oct. 26.

This will allow students to write their own messages and display the tombstones near the food court at the University Center (UC).

It illustrates how people can die as a result of alcohol abuse, said Jan Chapel, UCO Counseling Services coordinator.

A "Red Ribbon Car Bash," will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday, at the east side of the UC parking lot, giving students the opportunity to bash a car with sledgehammers.

"For one thing it is something that kids like to do, and it symbolizes the wrecks you can get into when you're drinking and driving," Chapel said.

Also an "Adult Children of Alcoholics Workshop," presented by Dr. Craig Robinson will be held at noon, Monday, in

Room 320B at the UC. Participants are encouraged to bring their lunches.

"The presentation will talk about all that happens in an alcoholic's home and what problems the children may face from growing up in a dysfunctional family," Chapel said.

Another tombstone making session starts again at 9:30 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 27.

There will be a panel discussion from 7:30 to 9 p.m., Tuesday, in Room 301 at the UC, on the "Effects of Alcohol on Relationships."

Attending panelists are Dr. Francis Everett, UCO psychology professor, Kimberly Paddyaker, from the YWCA, UCO student Steve Wenick, and an officer from the UCO Department of Public Safety.

Everett will talk about children of alcoholics and what they go through.

Paddyakey will discuss alcohol abuse and its effect on domestic violence.

And finally, UCO student Wenick, a

reformed alcoholic, will speak about his personal experiences with alcohol.

Another tombstone making session opens 9:30 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 28, followed by a "Date Rape Mock Trial," from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, at the UC Constitutional Hall.

The trial will be enacted by UCO students Brad Myers, Cindy Allen and Amber Bass, with the help of lawyer John Garic, a former judge and present UCO faculty. It will also feature Oklahoma County District Attorney Ryan Roberts, Public Defender Bob Midfelt, and UCO's Judge Sid Brown.

The date rape mock trial drew hundreds of participants to UCO during its presentation in 1993 and 1995.

Sponsored by COSAFE, UCO's organization of students working to prevent the abuse of drugs and alcohol, students will play as jurors during the trial to decide the guilt or innocence of their colleagues.

"Acquaintance sexual assault happens daily in families, in business relationships,

and with high school and college students," said mock trial director Kate Leader.

"Add unwise drinking and in a moment a blossoming friendship turns into acquaintance sexual assault," Leader said.

Following the trial there will be a "Men's Discussion Group," presented by Cooper Ames of the Wesley Foundation, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m., in Room 336 at the UC. The discussion will allow students to ask questions about the trial and about communication in relationships.

The final tombstone display features Thursday morning, Oct. 29.

At noon, Thursday, there will be a "Women's Discussion Group" headed by Jan Chapel, in Room 336 at the UC, talking about rape and communication in relationships.

Concluding Thursday night's events, students can bowl for free at the AMF Boulevard Lanes, 3501 S Boulevard, from 8 to 10 p.m.

Literature booths mark the final event of "Alcohol Awareness Week."

Information about alcohol prevention will be handed out from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Friday Oct. 30, on the second floor of the UC. <

Bronchos prepare for OBU after rolling Harding

By James Gutzmer Sports rater CO comes back home

u

this week to face Lone Star Conference opponent Ouachita Baptist at 2 p.m. The Bronchos are coming off a convincing victory over Harding this past weekend. The Tigers, however, have lost two in a row, both by a narrow margin.

UCO is 114-51-5 at Wantland Stadium in its 34th year there. The Bronchos are 40 at home this year. Head coach Gary Howard is 1-0 against OBU. The Tigers have lost by six or less points, four times this season. OBU's offense is keyed

by a passing attack lead by quarterback Brandon Johnson, who hit 32 of 77 passes for 746 yards this season. The Tigers are averaging 305.3 yards a game.

OBU has two outstanding receivers in Damien Harris, who has caught 16 passes for 340 yards, and Ricky Rogers who has caught 13 passes for 309 yards.

The defense has been the downfall for the Tigers. They have allowed an average of 373.1 yards a game. In last years contest, Ryan Logan carried the ball 39 times for 217 yards, while Reggie Donner was out with an injury. Logan had four touchdowns, three before

the half.

The Bronchos' Reggie Donner carried the ball only 11 times last week against Harding, but still finished with 142 yards.

Logan was barely denied the 100 mark, finishing with 95 yards on 23 carries. Donner and Logan are both closing in on 2000 yard careers. Donner needs only five more yards and Logan needs 82 more to reach the 2000 yard mark.

The Broncho offense overcame five first-half fumbles to lead 21-3 at the half against Harding. The Bronchos scored three touchdowns in just 2:54.

UCO had a 52-yard pass and an 89-yard run for two scores in that span. Quarterback Scott

Condict hit Todd Barnes for a 52-yard touchdown pass. Then Donner took the ball 89-yards for another score.

Barnes caught a pass in every game this season and is UCO's leading receiver with 15 catches for 278 yards and three touchdowns.

Harding had the ball for 21:17 in the first half but was only able to score three points. UCO, by contrast , had the ball for 8:43 in the first half and managed to score 21 points and rack up 219 yards, 156 of them rushing. The Bronchos only ran 23 plays in the half.

Freshman Claude Davis dominated on the defensive side of the ball in his second career

start. He had 11 tackles, two of them went for a loss. Davis had a sack, a fumble recovery, and broke up a pass to help the Bronchos. Johnnie Jones recovered a fumble and picked up his fifth interception to lead the league. He also picked up five tackles and broke up three passes.

The Bronchos lead the NCAA Division II in scoring defense, allowing 7.9 points a game.

UCO has only allowed an average of 255.3 yards a game.

The opponents have only completed 35.9 percent of their passes.

The Bronchos and the Tigers will face off Saturday, at 2 p.m., at Wantland Stadium.

touchdown run in school history, before leaving the game early in the second half with a rib injury.

The junior standout leads the league in rushing with 853 yards and 10 touchdowns on 135 carries.

Davis, a 6-2, 261 pound freshman from Lawton High making his second start of the season, had a dominating performance with 11 tackles, including two tackles for loss, one sack, one caused fumble, one fumble recovered and a pass Claude Davis broken up.

Davis set up UCO's go-ahead touchdown when he sacked the

Harding quarterback and took the ball away at the HU 28-yard line. The Bronchos scored four plays later to go ahead 7-3.

Unbeaten Central Oklahoma remained second in this week's NCAA Division H football poll behind two-time defending national champion Northern Colorado.

The Bronchos, 7-0 overall and 5-0 in the Lone Star Conference, host Ouachita Baptist Saturday at 2 p.m. in an LSC North Division game.

Latest -witch itetcursed by Lacy plot

By Dustin Pyeatt StailWriter hough it's not quite Halloween, this weeks review should get you in the spirit. "Practical Magic" (Warner Bros.), adapted from the Alice Hoffman book of the same name, stars Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock as sisters who come from a long line of witches.

Guys should be warned, "Practical Magic" is a chic-flick, but that's not what puts the hex on this movie. For starters, this estrogen pumped tale takes longer to set up than a crosscountry broom ride.

The film spends a good length of time on the sisters childhood and the curse that was placed on them by their ancestor: Any man that the sisters fall in love with is doomed to die, and die they do. This alone would be enough of a story, but not for this movie.

The sisters then end up poisoning Kidman's abusive boyfriend when he tries to kidnap them. Then, Aidan Quinn shows up as the lawman investigating the dead boyfriend's disappearance. Sound like enough of a plot?

The story gets mired deeper when it just so happens that Quinn fits the exact description of the man Bullock wished for as a child.

Again, enough story lines for three movies.

C

11

The actual "magic" in the movie goes from cute to downright hokey.

And the use of musical interludes at times makes this movie akin to watching a bigscreen music video.

On the upside though, "Practical Magic" does have a nice look to it, and the characters, though underdeveloped, are likable. This would make a decent date movie for those of us who want to see some Halloween fare, but don't like hack and slash films.

Next up is more "hokey-pocus" with the "Practical Magic Soundtrack" (Reprise). Hollywood has gotten into the habit of hyping soundtracks as much or more than the films they accompany, and sometimes with great success. This is not one of those times: The soundtrack contains two duets with Stevie Nicks and Sheryl Crow. Because of Nicks' distinct and powerful vocals only the inside cover of the CD is the only clue that Crow is even accompanying her.

"Magic" also contains songs by Faith Hill, Marvin Gaye and Joni Mitchell along with a few instrumentals.

This would make good background music for cleaning house or typing papers, but look for it in the used bin of your music store because like the movie itself it's nice, but not worth full price.

KISS OFF1 Return to makeup doesn't hide aging sound

By Steven E. Wedel Staff Titer

T

he 1970s are back! If you don't believe it, just look around campus at the -bell bottoms, platform shoes and tie-dyed T-shirts. Or take a look at your local music store shelves.

We had Robert Plant and Jimmy Page reuniting for an almost-Led Zeppelin album and tour. Oops, did I say album? That's something that went out in the '70s and won't likely be back.

Ozzy Osbourne is back with the other original members of Black Sabbath. The "Star Wars" and "Grease" soundtracks were re-released to coincide with the movies coming back to theaters.

Oh, and the kings of 1970s rock and roll are back. That's right, we wanted the best, and now we've got the best again. Or, almost.

Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley are back in makeup and have just released their first collective Kiss album in almost 20 years.

The new release, "Psycho Circus," isn't the album true Kiss fans have been slobbering for, but it's a good effort, nonetheless. It's head and shoulders above the LPs of the makeupless Kiss (except for the outstanding 'Revenge"), but it's not "Destroyer II" by a long shot. It's a CD about reuniting and rebuilding a...well, a "Dynasty."

The band seems to be thrilled to be back

together and doing what they did so well two and a half decades ago. Paul even sings about the makeup running down his face in the first single and title song from the CD. The song "Psycho Circus" has the feel of something from the 1970s...it reminds me of something Kiss would have done as an opening track on their "Alive" album, except that it isn't raunchy enough for the old days.

And that, ultimately, is the difference between the new Kiss and the old Kiss. The guys aren't singing about fast women and fast living anymore. Songs like "Within" actually require some _thought to get the full impact of the lyrics. I ju-st hum along and wait for the next song, which does sound like the band I grew up with.

"I Pledge Allegiance to the State of Rock & Roll" is vintage Kiss, right down to Ace's soulful guitar solo.

Speaking of Ace, he provides the most nostalgic piece when he takes the microphone to sing "Into the Void." It's like "Shock Me" all over again.

One thing Gene hasn't learned is that his voice is not suited to ballads. Yet, The Demon tries it again on "We are One." C'mon, Gene, spit some blood and fire and pound your bass! It could be worse.

Remember his rendition of "When You Wish Upon A Star" from his solo album?

The next track is a treat we've never had before. All four members provide vocal parts for "You Wanted the Best." And it is one of the best songs on the CD.

From there, the disc sort of degenerates into something that sounds like the Kiss of the 1980s, and not the songs you heard on the radio. "Raise Your Glasses," "I Finally Found My Way," "Dreamin'" and "Journey of 1,000 Years" lack the punch of the old rock-until-we-pass-out Kiss.

One area where the band is returning to their roots is in self promotion. The "Psycho Circus" CD has a lot of computer graphics that I can't access on a Mac. The band has started their own online service, Kissonline, and will be releasing a new feature film, "Detroit Rock City," next year.

(Pray it isn't another "Phantom of the Park.") They'll also be making some television appearances later this month and have revived their comic books and action figure merchandise.

If we only had gas lines, cars made of steel and music on vinyl disks I'd think I was a kid again.

But those days are past, and judging by this CD, I'd say the days of Kiss as a hungry hard rock band are almost over, despite the makeup and dolls that will surely put Barbie back into therapy.

If I had to boil my criticism down to one thing, it would be that this CD just doesn't have the energy of its older siblings. It's good, it's something I'll listen to over and over, but when Kiss comes to town, I'll be the fanatic "Calling Dr. Love" between every song. -41(

Oklahoma's ow cost, high aid provides students accessible education

By James Gutzmer

StaffWriter

I

n 1996-97 the combined cost of tuition, fees, and room and board at Oklahoma state run universities was $5,079, the lowest in the nation. Tuition alone ranked fifth lowest overall.

Part of the reason why costs in Oklahoma are so low is that the tuition rate of increase is much lower than the rest of the nation.

Tuition for four-year schools nationally increased only 53 percent since 1989, while the inflation rate was 26.2 percent. In Oklahoma the increase has been 25 percent at four year schools.

At the same time, a record amount of scholarships and grant money were available to Oklahoma students. A total of $170.8 million was awarded to students. That is a 4.7 percent increase from last year and a 56.6 percent increase since the turn of the decade.

"This year UCO has seen an increase in tuition waiver scholarships in the amount of $270,000," said Stacy Meldrum, UCO scholarship coordinator.

Meldrum also noted that the university had not received any cash scholarships this year.

"This (no cash scholarships) really hurts us ," Meldrum said.

"Oklahoma is definitely a low cost, high aid state when it comes to higher education," said Hans Brisch, Chancellor of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

"The mix can be both positive and negative for the state."

According to Brisch, having low cost schooling and high aid means college students can actually afford to go to

Although Oklahoma colleges and universities are among the most affordable in the nation, the State Regents are sensitive to the financial pressures that tuition places on some students, and have increased financial aid at a rate that far exceeds increases in tuition.

—Chancellor Hans Brisch Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education

college in Oklahoma.

At the same time however, low tuition means not as much money is being raised, leaving very little money for improvements and more competitive salaries for employees.

"Although Oklahoma colleges and universities are among the most affordable in the nation, the State Regents are sensitive to the financial pressures that tuition places on some students, and have increased financial aid at a rate that far exceeds increases in tuition," Brisch said.

Since 1989 scholarships have increased a dramatic 83 percent to $33.8 million. Grants rose 51 percent to $139.9 million in the same time span.

"College is an investment, and it requires students to prepare early, both financially and academically. But the payoffs last a lifetime through increased job opportunities and higher earnings," said John Massey, State Regents Chairman.

Opera CD, "The Gorgon's Head," available at bookstore

The Gorgon's Head" CD, a oneact opera that debuted at UCO last February, is now available at the University Center Book store.

Written and conducted by Dr. Sam Magrill, UCO professor of music, the theme of the opera was adapted from Nathaniel Hawthrone's "A Wonder Book," published in the late nineteenth century.

Hawthrone depicts the story of

Dr. Sam Magrill

go on a nutting expedition, but cannot because of bad weather.

Rather they listen to a story of Perseus and Medusa, from ancient Greek mythology.

Incorporating different kinds of music from different characters and historical periods, Magrill's opera not only caters to children but also to an adult audience.

Magrill was inspired by a piece he had composed using the flute, clarinet and piano, for his daughter. This eventually became the opening piece of "The Gorgons Head" opera.

"I really don't know what I was getting myself into, working on this first opera. But as time went by the opera seemed to have written itself," Magrill said.

The Libretto, which is the music setting text of the opera, was created by Magrill, Kay Creed, opera producer, and Carveth Osterhaus, who is in charge of the UCO Music Theater Department.

Many of the performers were UCO students and children of Ma.

Magrill's two daughters and wife Pamela Richman.

The orchestra consisted of a combination of UCO students and faculty, and other professional players.

Costumes were designed by Robert Pittenridge and the entire opera was directed by Billie Thrash.

"Opera is a very important art form now, and will be growing in significance within the next five years," Magrill said.

"With this piece, I wanted to reflect on opera by creating an opera about opera."

The piece also paid homage to many renowned opera conductors like Mozart, Puccini, Wagner, and Debussy, Magrill said.

There were also some distinct jazz influences, and the use of some East Indian musical tones like "Ragas" in the opera.

UCO chemistry club awarded for community activities

By Katie Hawk StaffWriter

W

ho has costumes, surprises, and community involvement, but no

pumpkins?

UCO's Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society (SAACS), that's who.

The 70 member club was suprised

when they were informed they had won a national outstanding chapter award from the American Chemical Society (ACS).

SAACS will receive the award at the ACS national meeting on March 21-25 in Anaheim, Calif.

Rebecca Sanders, president of SAACS, said the club received the award for their numerous community

activities.

"We fill out a yearly report on every activity and submit pictures and articles to ACS. The award goes to whoever has done the most activities," Sanders said.

Natalie Mass, member of SAACS, said that a major community involvement activity is Mole Outreach.

"Mole Outreach is when we go out to

Spooky Spirits Alcohol Awareness Week October 26-30, 1998

Quail Springs Mall to talk about chemistry with kids. Then we also go to local schools to talk with other kids," Mass said.

Sanders said the club also does a food drive and works with Habitat for Humanity to build homes.

Examples of SAACS's UCO activities will be demonstrated during

Balloons hazardous to health T

hinking about blowing up orange and black balloons for Halloween next week?

You may want to update your health insurance policy first.

According to the British Medical Journal, blowing up balloons may be more dangerous than the ghouls and goblins out this season.

The journal points to a 24year-old male who was admitted to the emergency room with severe chest pains.

While being examined the doctors heard crunching and popping coming from the patient's chest each time his heart beat. They also felt air bubbles under his skin.

According to the journal, doctors learned that the man had blown up 20 party balloons a day before his pain started.

They concluded that he had popped the alveoli—the air sacs—in his lungs when he blew up the first balloon.

Then he began inflating himself a little bit each time he blew up another balloon. His symptoms cleared up the following week. Now that's a frightening experience. <

Latest toilet paper study revealing

U

CO professors and students who "squeeze the Charmin" might be in the minority.

Rather most toilet paper users do something quite different, according to a survey recently released by Proctor & Gamble.

In honor of the company's 70th anniversary, thousands of consumers were polled about their paper practices.

The company hoped its survey would help the topic of toilet paper reach from the bathroom to the dining room table.

The results may wipe you away.

Of respondents, 40 percent said they fold or stack the toilet tissue before using it.

Forty percent claimed to be pre-wiping "wadders" or classified themselves as "crurnplers."

Twenty percent do a sort of mummy trick with the paper before using it—twisting it around their hand.

And a whopping 60 percent said they use the potty paper to wipe away tears as well as their rears.

In its findings, Proctor & Gamble also reported that the average consumer uses almost 21,000 sheets a year.

At more than four inches per sheet, it's like wiping from the University Center to the water tower and back four times. That's a lot of sheet.

National Chemistry Week, Nov. 2-6.

National Chemistry Week will begin on Monday with a costume contest, where chemistry professors dress up as elements of the periodic table.

"Tuesday is Outreach Day at Child Stiulies Center. We do a fun chemistry demonstration for the pre-school children," Sanders said.

Wednesday, students can tie-dye their own T-shirts in the chemistry lab in Howell Hall.

Members of SAACS will attend the Midwest Regional ACS meeting in Witchita, Kan. on Thursday.

SAACS members and the chemistry department's faculty and staff will attend a career day event and luncheon, which will mark the end of National Chemistry week.

All UCO students and faculty are invited to participate in National Chemistry Week and support SAACS. "We make a difference in our community. The award is a great acheivement and a great accomplishment for our club," Sanders said.

Military's Code of Conduct stops at White House

K

elly Flinn. Do you remember that name? She was a lieutenant in our armed forces, a bomber pilot, who was forced to resign because she committed adultery and then lied about it.

There's a funny little double standard in America. We like to believe the laws are the same for everybody, whether they're homeless street people, factory workers, bank executives, or the commander in chief of the armed forces.

It's a lie. More and more, America is becoming less of a democracy and some kind of bureaucratic aristocracy. In the latest segment of this metamorphosis, our armed forces are having their First Amendment right of free speech violated.

Some service personnel are daring to question why their commander, who has always had a strained relationship with the military, is not being treated as harshly as a regular soldier. Their questions are being met with an order to shut up.

Marine Major Shane Sellers, a 20-year veteran, wrote in the Navy Times that he, "...always thought that the law was the law, fair and equal to all constituents.

So why should the president of the United States receive any less verdict and sentence for lying under oath? ... Wrong is wrong, regardless of the identity or position of the perpetrator."

Military officials are considering whether or not to punish Sellers for writing those words.

Army Col. John R. Baer is also in trouble. He suggested in the Army Times that the Army make it optional for service members to accept a "Certificate of Appreciation" signed by Clinton.

The award is given to retiring members. Baer reminded his readers that character is important, and said that Clinton had "negotiated" his away. Baer said accepting the award should be optional "...so as not to embarrass soldiers."

The Wall Street Journal recently published a letter from James R. McDonough, who led U.S. troops in Bosnia in 1995.

McDonough now works at the White House Office of National Drug Policy.

He wrote that he was offended by Kenneth Starr's report that Monica Lewinsky performed oral sex on the president while the president was discussing Bosnia with a member of Congress on the telephone. McDonough wrote that the incident, "...smacks of callous indifference, sophomoric arrogance and

I don't see why (James R.) McDonough is so outraged. Clinton showed us how he felt about our soldiers during the Vietnam era.

Steven E. Wedel

reckless disregard of the sanctity of U.S. soldiers' lives."

I don't see why McDonough is so outraged. Clinton showed us how he felt about our soldiers during the Vietnam era.

Article 88 of the Uniformed Military Code of Justice expressly prohibits any officer

from using "contemptuous words" against the president.

Dana Priest of the wrote Washington Post Tuesday that Article 88 was written, "...to promote good order and discipline among the armed forces, whose members must take orders from their superior civilian authorities..

Violators can be dismissed or

jailed for a year and face forfeiture of their pay."

I think this law, which seems to include jokes sent in private e-mail, is a violation of the First Amendment.

However, if soldiers agreed to follow these rules, they should honor their vow—and thus show they have more integrity than the president.

Ann McFeatters of Scripps Howard News Service said that, "...many argue that the admonition, Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, is unwarranted because Clinton admitted improper conduct and misleading everyone about it."

The case with Flinn proved that the military considers adultery and lying crimes. So, by military standards, and his own admission, Clinton is guilty of criminal activity.

However, despite a lot of misconceptions, he is also guilty by civilian laws of Washington, D.C., which expressly forbid married men to carry on adulterous affairs.

And so, I'll close by saying "ditto" to the words of Maj. Sellers, who said, "...one should call an adulterous liar exactly what he is—a criminal."
