Fall break falls through for UCO By Ercilia Zolkiewicz

Tumbling Domino s. . The empty Domino's Pizza building was demolished last week. Domino's relocated to another building in Edmond over the summer. Its new address is 740 W. Danforth.
CO students will not be getting a fall break this year. Rumors have been spreading throughout campus as to the reason. "I think I've heard all of them," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of enrollment management. "Those (rumors) are all false," Legere said. "The real issue is that we were not in compliance with the state regents guidelines that establish an 800 minute requirement for each credit hour," Legere said. Secondly, he said that having fall break on a Thursday and Friday created an imbalance of instructional days. The schedule needs to have an equal number of days of the week to stay balanced, he said. "When you don't have equal
distribution of instructional days it causes problems in teaching," Legere said. "For instance, with lab schedules." Legere served as the chair of the university calendar committee that reviewed and scheduled the in-session dates for the 19992000 academic year. There were 13 committee members, one of which, was a student. The committee met in April 1998, and the schedule was approved in June 1998. "We had to ask ourselves if we were maintaining the integrity of the school and the answer was `no'," Legere said. "We thought it was a significant concern to be in compliance." The committee meets each spring to establish a schedule for three years in advance which

Proposed parking garage will raise parking fees for students By Trent Dugas
Staffiefiter
T
he University of Central Oklahoma Student Association, (UCOSA) recently passed a resolution requesting a parking garage. The resolution will now head for President Webb's desk and if approved, the student body will vote on the issue. If the student body votes to raise their parking fees to finance a parking garage, then the resolution will head back to Webb for a second consideration. Student parking fees would increase from $40 to $75
annually and from $20 to $40 for each semester if the garage is built. The summer semester will also increase from $15 to $30. The resolution is a result of the parking problems that students claim plague UCO. Jason Vaughn, UCOSA deputy president pro tempore, said "Yes, we are raising our parking fee but this isn't just for us, it's also for the future. "If enrollment keeps climbing like it does, we are going to have a problem," Vaughn said. "I agree that parking is bad at times." Vaughn and Parking Services agree that the physical space on
the campus is full, as far as building a new parking lot is concerned, and cannot expand. "When I look at the campus layout, I do not see where we can go out (expand with a new parking lot) and one of my biggest complaints that I hear from students is that they do not want to make the walk." Even with the assurance from Parking Services that a parking problem does not exist because of the 400 spots available a day, Vaughn said we still need more parking. "We are going to run out of 400 parking spots and we won't have any place to go." Vaughn said. "At that point, it will

UCOSA Deputy President ProTempore probably be too late and people will be parking along 2nd street." Vaughn said he hears students all over campus complaining
about parking or the walk through the parking lot. "It's everybody. It's not just people who are in UCOSA that I am hearing this from," Vaughn said. "Sitting in classes, I try to keep my ears open all the time and that's where I hear my biggest complaints." One of UCOSA's and Parking Services justifications for raising the parking fees for the garage is the comparison to other campuses. Vaughn said, compared to OU and OSU, parking fees will

PARKING Continued from front page still remain cheaper at UCO. He also said compared to those universities, UCO does not even have a parking problem. "In all honesty, this is something to say 'yes, we realize this is a problem now," Vaughn said. "There may be some spots open, but we need to do something about it now so when it (parking problem) becomes like OU and OSU, we won't have a problem and we can accommodate the students." Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of student affairs, represents UCOSA as a "direct link" between President Webb and UCOSA and assists UCOSA in presenting the resolution to Webb. The resolution must have Webb's signature before the students can vote. "Anytime an issue is
Is
important to students and it deals with what students want then it should be heard," Gage said. She said many elements revolve around the parking garage issue. UCO is concerned with the financial aspect of building a parking garage. Whether or not the increased fees will suffice to both build and maintain the garage is a question that needs answering, Gage said. Keith Weber, research assistant to the president, said he will not comment on whether or not Webb will approve the resolution for a student body vote. But Weber did say, "If the outcome is that students are willing to increase their fee and pay for the construction of a parking garage then we will seriously consider a parking garage as an option."

Greek system attempts to overcome stereotypes By Magda Beme
CollegePressWriter
A
lthough they say they are trying to change their images, members of the Iowa State greek system still have trouble shaking the stereotype of heavy partying and irresponsible drinking. Adam Oris, president of InterFraternity Council, believes that the main reason alcohol is perceived as being used by greeks is because of the system's social aspects. However, he sees that changing. "Since I've been here, I've noticed a notable difference in how parties are conducted, how much alcohol is involved and the accessibility," said Oris, senior in psychology and marketing and member of Tau Kappa Epsilon, 224 Ash Ave. Other members of the greek system also emphasized that they do not want to be seen in
an inaccurate light. "To me, being greek means that you can be successful academically and on campus, while being held accountable for a number of responsibilities at your chapter house," said Jason Clement, president of Delta Sigma Phi, 218 Ash Ave., and senior in architecture. "Behind the false image of partying, drinking and irresponsibility lies what greek life is really about." Many ISU greek houses plan educational programs and activities to help instruct their members on alcohol consumption and abuse. "The InterFraternity Council has done an excellent job of setting up educational programming for its fraternities," said Eric Bidwell, president of Tau Kappa Epsilon and junior in agricultural studies. Michelle Crandall, president of Alpha Omicron Pi, 2007
Greeley St., said her sorority is required by the national chapter to hold alcohol awareness programs. They are held once a month and focus on topics such as drunk driving, the physical effects of alcohol and Iowa alcohol laws. Although the house tries to curb underage drinking by checking IDs, Crandall, senior in elementary education, said the members need to make the decision about whether to drink on their own. "We are not their moms," she said. Another way greek organizations are dealing with alcohol issue, outside of education, is to go "dry," meaning that no alcohol is allowed on the property. Brian Tenclinger, coordinator of Greek Affairs, said the decision to go dry is made by the national chapter of a greek house, not by the university.
Making changes. . . Jack Turpin, UCO Facilities Management painter, works on removing the "No Women Admitted" sign on the old doors of Thatcher Hall. The sign remained from when the building was used as a mens' dormitory. In the September 30 issue of The Vista, it was unclear that the sign had no relation to the R.O.TC. program. The Vista regrets any confusion this may have caused. —Photo by Shauna Hardway

New compact disc is a solar experience By Jarrod Briley

T
he art of revealing one's innermost feelings without a hint of hesitation takes chutzpah. And Tori Amos' new CD, To
Venus and Back, is chalked full of it. Once again, the red-headed diva digs into her soul and reveals a treasure chest full of memorable songs. Unlike previous releases, To Venus and Back, a double-disc
set, steers from the Amos standard of piano and throaty vocals. The album is an electrically dominated compilation. Funky keyboards run wild. Though the first disc is all original material, the second
rehashes material from Amos' 1998 world tour. For die-hard Amos fans who may feel betrayed by her dive into electric land, the second CD provides a comforting buffer between old and new. The CD is available now. <

Teacher feature.. .
The accidental professor; Lehman's road to the classroom By Fachaitte Kinslow
1
StaftWriter
44 f you know that life isn't always fair, then your expectations are not destroyed." Dr. Paul Lehman, professor of English, explains his life during the Civil Rights movement and his survival techniques as the first black professor at Central State University (CSU). Lehman said that he entered into teaching by accident. While taking a Hemingway graduate class at CSU, the professor asked Lehman to read a paper he had written and discuss it with the class. Afterwards, the professor asked Lehman if he would like to teach as an adjunct. Lehman was working at KOFM, a local radio station which is no longer on the air, and really didn't want to leave. The professor kept urging
Lehman to consider the offer. Finally he accepted the adjunct position. Two years later, Lehman began teaching full-time and became the first black professor at CSU in 1969. Lehman moved to Oklahoma with his parents and siblings from Louisiana in the early 1940s. The decision to move was based on economic and education opportunity he said. Attending a public school until age of 13, Lehman left and went to a church school until 11th grade. He graduated from Douglas High School in 1959. After graduating, Lehman started college at Tuskegee, but didn't finish his first semester. "I just wasn't ready for college," Lehman said. Lehman joined the Nayy and served four years. "In those days, after (high school) graduation, you either
•
In school I was always involved in public speaking and drama. —Dr. Paul Lehman Professor English went to college, got married and got a job, or joined the military," Lehman said. In the Navy, Lehman was in the supply department. His job was bookkeeping and accounting. Lehman attended Los Angeles City College after leaving the Navy and earned his associate of arts degree. He attended California State for one year before moving back to Oklahoma.
Lehman enrolled in Central State University, now called the University of Central Oklahoma, and received a Bachelor's degree in Speech and English with an emphasis in radio and television. His interest in radio and television began at a young age. "In school I was always involved in public speaking and drama," Lehman said. Max Davis, a former speech professor, offered Lehman a radio spot as a news commentary on the campus station. A manager from a local station heard Lehman and asked him to join KOFM. He accepted the offer. Lehman credits his parents for preparing him for such a task. He said that his parents reassured him and his siblings to compete for independence. Passing the information on to
his children, Lehman and his wife, Marion, also teach the meaning of value and respect. "The world owes you nothing," Lehman said. Lehman's oldest son, Christopher, is attending the University of Massachusetts for his doctoral in AfricanAmerican studies. Jeffrey, Lehman's youngest son, is a music performance major at State University of New in Buffalo. In his spare time, Lehman enjoys watching basketball, football, baseball and track and field. He also enjoys reading historical fiction. After retiring from UCO, Lehman would like to travel with his wife. He would also like to research Oklahoma's black history and write a book. "Not many people are aware of the different events that have happened (in Oklahoma)," Lehman said.

FALL BREAK
Continued from front page allows students and faculty to do their planning, Legere said. "We consider the effect the schedule has on future years," Legere said. However, each semester is considered individually in meeting its requirements, he said. For instance, starting this January, the university will begin officially recognizing Martin Luther King day, Legere said. But that does not affect the fall semester schedule, he added. We really had four options to consider regarding the scheduling of fall break, Legere said. • Start classes on the Thursday before Monday, Aug. 23 and retain fall break. "It's been a tradition, though, to start classes on Mondays," Legere said. There was some debate about whether or not anybody would come to class on the Thursday or Friday before, he said. • Keep classes starting on Monday and cut fall break. • Start on Monday. Cut fall break and take the entire Thanksgiving week off. "There was a lot of support for this option, but it created
inconsistency in the schedule for future years," Legere said. This option also created problems with final exams according to Legere. Students would come back from Thanksgiving break and have a week of school before final exams one year, and another year they would have two weeks of class before final exams. "If we couldn't be consistent," Legere said, "we didn't want to do it." • Start classes on Monday. Change fall break from Thursday and Friday to Monday and Tuesday. "With this option, there was a balance, but the dates did not match with Edmond public schools'," Legere said. Students with children in the Edmond schools prefer to take fall break on the same dates as their children, he said. "I was invited to be a member of the Edmond public schools' scheduling committee," Legere said. The problem is that Edmond schools have not maintained consistency with fall break, he said.

Jerry Legere
Assistant Vice President Enrollment Management 1:121krk, "Last year Edmond schools had a three day break and this year it is a two day break," Legere said. The university does consider students' family needs according to Legere. "We are committed to keeping spring break matched with Edmond school's," Legere said. "And we're committed to trying to stay that way," Legere said. Of course, not all UCO students have family in Edmond public schools. Ultimately, there was a 12 to
one vote for the option to keep classes starting on Monday and cut fall break. "The one against it was not the student, though. The student on the committee supported the proposal," Legere said. The decision is not a state wide decision. It was for UCO only, Legere said. Other universities have followed their own schedule. There is not a fall break scheduled at the University of Oklahoma (OU), said a representative from the OU's admissions and record office. "The only break we have in the fall (schedule) is for Thanksgiving," the OU representative said. However, the Oklahoma State University (OSU) has a fall break scheduled for Oct. 14 and 15. The only additional option available to keep fall break was to extend the semester further into December, Legere said. The problem with that is the university needs to give faculty time to turn in grades, he said. "It's a real big deal," Legere said about asking faculty to turn in grades early.
"We give them four calendar days to turn in grades," Legere said. "Four days is pretty average around the country." Some faculty members want more days to post final grades, Legere said. Legere said he likes to make sure that students have their grades before Christmas. "I don't have a problem with taking a break as long as we can be in compliance," Legere said. "Once it became known to us (the non-compliance), then we really needed to look at it," Legere said. However, OSU's schedule is similar to UCO's and the university is having a fall break. OSU's fall classes started on Aug. 23 and conclude Dec. 19, according to the OSU admissions office. "Students get their grades before the end of the year," said a representative from the OSU admisssions office. The representative from OSU had one comment to say when she heard that UCO cancelled fall break. "Oh, dear!"

University to offer free depression screenings By Robyn Lydick
StaffWriter
u
CO and Edmond Medical Center are observing National Depression Screening Day by giving free depression testing Oct. 7. Tests will be available in Rooms 316, 318and 320A of the
University Center from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. "In most people, depression can be treated successfully," said Jan Chapel, coordinator of counseling services. "Depression is a whole body illness, involving physical symptoms, moods and thoughts." Chapel said depression is a serious and common disorder.
"Unlike grief or passing sadness, depression usually does not respond to a change in circumstances, like good news," Chapel said. "Having the blues is a normal and temporary reaction to events," Chapel said. "They rarely produce suicidal thoughts. "The blues simply require a good listener and time to heal,"

U
CO debaters took second and third place in juniorvarsity debate at their first tournament of the school year. The tournament was held Sept. 25 and 26 at Johnson County Community College in
Overland Park, Kan. The team of Steven Foster and Chris Valencia won second place in cross examination debate. Valencia took fourth place in individual speaking. Foster placed fifth individually. "When the judges score the debates, they score the team and the individuals separately," said Jan Hoyden, debate team
sponsor. The team of Brian Johnson and Paul Mooney took third place. "I thought the team did quite well," Hoyden said. "We are a young team and we have young team problems. "The team worked hard and debated well," Hoyden said. "I think the effort paid off."
Each team, or pair of debaters, must be prepared to debate either side of the assigned topic, said Hoyden. Debate resolutions, or topics, are used for an entire year of competition. This year's resolution argues the pros and cons of economic sanctions with Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea and Syria.
Students competing at Overland Park were: Jamie Evans, John Potts, Bethany Tkach, Janna Lehman, Chris Valencia, Steven Foster, Paul Mooney and Brian Johnson. The next tournament is scheduled for Oct. 9 through 11 at Southwest Missouri State.

Professor says gays help perpetuate human race By Steve Rothaus CollegePressWriter
p
sychologist Frank Muscarella, an associate professor at Barry University, has come to a conclusion that at first seems to be a contradiction: Homosexuality helps perpetuate
the human race and other species. "The theory holds that homosexual individuals in early human societies may have helped close family members, either directly or indirectly, to reproduce more successfully," Muscarella, 41, writes in a study to be published by the Journal of Homosexuality. "Thus, genes for
homosexuality would have been passed on indirectly through relatives." Muscarella, who also wrote a recently published professional study called The Homoerotic Behavior That Never Evolved, acknowledges his theory "flies in the face of all contemporary thinking," but gives several
examples in humans and baboons. In early times, young men and women would leave home and form alliances with others. These bonds often were with people of the same gender and would include sexual relations. Through these alliances, they would protect each other from enemies

and help each other survive through adulthood, Muscarella said. "The individuals survived long enough to ultimately reproduce," Muscarella said. He cites an example from Greek literature, the relationship of Achilles and Patroclus, "which was commonly understood as being sexual in nature." Similar situations occur today in some species of baboons, he said. "When the males reach puberty, they leave their mothers" and go out on their own, Muscarella said. "They find friendships (usually male) and those friendships include sex. "Sometimes, the animals will continue to have same-sex interactions even though the opposite sex is available," he said. "But in no species, except humans, have we found that individuals prefer members of the same sex." Muscarella's theory is based upon the "emerging field of evolutionary psychology," which, he writes, "examines human behavior in terms of its adaptive value -- that is, its ability to contribute, either directly or indirectly, to survival and reproduction."

UCO student wants his 'Fair Play' in Hollywood By Trent Dugas
StaffWriter ttention: calling all students who are 'nterested in acting or movie production, please meet in Constitution Hall. David Stone, a UCO student majoring in psychology, is holding auditions for his screenplay thriller "Fair Play." Stone will direct, produce and shoot his independent movie on the UCO campus using places like the football field, dorms, various classrooms and the Athletic Building for various backdrops. "I talked to the Athletic Director, John Wagnon, and he is going to let us use the athletic building and film during football games," Stone said. Stone said he will use betacam, digital and VHS cameras for production so he can remain on a low budget. "The communications department is going to let me rent
cameras and I have some cameras of my own," Stone said. "There are no fancy computers, no special effects or computer digital stuff — its just all makeup and hard work." He said his outside budget source for the movie is zero, and he is relying on help from volunteer students actors, actresses and production staff. But ultimately, he said about $750 will come out of his own pocket for what he calls "surprise expenses" like tapes and miscellaneous items. Help from student actors, actresses and production people will be perfect for the movie, and the volunteers can put their work from this movie on their resume, Stone said. Stone has plans to show the completed movie at film festivals. If the movie is a hit, he will try to market the movie. "Fair Play" is a psychological thriller that is sure to scare the most avid movie fan, he said.

"Anybody that watches this movie will not walk away disappointed," Stone said. Dr. Roberta Sloan, chair and professor of theater arts, gave Stone permission to hold auditions in Constitution Hall. She said if UCO rules are followed during filming then it can be a great experience for students. Stone encourages all students who are interested to show up for screen testing between 6 and 8 p.m. on October 4, 5 and 6 in Constitution Hall in the University Center.

Professor maps out new geography program By Robyn Lydick

aniel Donaldson made some deals before joining UCO's liberal arts faculty. The geographic information systems (GIS) assistant professor negotiated for the donation of ArcView software worth almost $120,000 to the history and geography department. GIS software progams capture, store, manipulate and analyze spatial data. "Most people think these programs are glorified mapmakers," said Anthony Stancampiano, UCO alumni and ecology instructor at Oklahoma City Community College.
The assumption is wrong, Stancampiano said. "Take a stream, for example. Not only will the program have location coordinates and a name, but also maximum flow rates, flora and fauna — things like that. "The program will give students enough tools to start putting together environmental models," Stancampiano said. ArcView is the industry standard for environmental systems research.

All American Reggie Donner returned for the Bronchos, after sitting out the last two weeks with an injured hamstring. Donner only played a few downs, before taking himself out of the game. "I thought I was about 90%, but after running I got really tight, I'm probably about 80%," Dormer said. "It will just take time and some more rehab." UCO's offense had 388 total yards and finished with 18 first downs. UCO Offensive Coordinator Bill Massey was pleased with the way the offensive unit

he University of Central Oklahoma women's soccer team opened Lone Star Conference play in impressive style. The Bronchos, ranked 18th in the NCAA II polls, routed the Southwestern Bulldogs 6-0 Thursday. Junior Sally Holmes led the Bronchos with two goals, her 10th and 11th off the season. Freshman Kim Brown continued her trend of scoring with one goal, her team leading
12th. Holmes and Brown each had one assist to help the Bronchos offensive attack. Senior Jamie Lane and Sophomores Jennifer Goodall and Jeorgia McGinty also scored goals for the Bronchos. Freshman Erin Willard led the team with two assists, while Sophomores Connie Barker and Jessica Mathieu each dished out one assist. Earning the win for the Bronchos in the net was Sophomore goalkeeper Amy Barber. Barber had three saves for the game.
The Bronchos offense dominated the Bulldogs. The Bronchos out shot the Bulldogs 25-4. The win improves the Bronchos to 9-1 overall and 1-0 in the conference. UCO travels to Tulsa tonight and plays Oral Roberts University in a non conference game. Game time is set for 7 p.m. The Bronchos return to Tom Thompson Soccer Field for two LSC games on October 8th and 9th against Harding and Quachita Baptist. Both games are set for 3 p.m.

he UCO volleyball team used a overpowering performance at Ouachita Baptist to earn a split on their weekend road trip to Arkansas. The Bronchos beat Ouachita Baptist 15-1, 15-7, 15-3, Friday night dominating with 41 kills and a .389 kill percentage. Outside hitters Alma Brahimaj and Adriana Crovador combined for 27 of the 41 team kills.

BAKERY BOY Continued from page 20 bakery wall. A few seconds later, the buzzer quit sounding. I turned and started to walk away, still trying to decide what to fix for dinner. "Attention customers," came the announcement over the intercom. "Now in our fresh in-store bakery we have delicious, hot French bread, hot and fresh straight from the oven. You can pick up a loaf of this fresh, delicious hot French bread straight from the oven from your fresh, in-store bakery. And as always, have a great day." I finished my shopping. It was too hot to actually cook, so I decided to fix submarine sandwiches. So, I headed back to the bakery for some French bread. Bakery Boy was waiting on a young lady about 22 years old. "A fine choice, miss," he said as she selected a birthday cake.
"The cake is almost as pretty as you," he added with a flirty smile. "Thanks. You're so sweet to say that," the young woman answered, her eyes twinkling at the compliment. "Could you write something on it?" she asked. "Sure, anything you want," Bakery Boy said winking at her. She told him what to write and he went back behind the counter with the cake. Bakery Boy looked up from the cake he was writing on noticing me standing there waiting. "Have any more hot bread?" I asked him. "Yep, can you wait a second?" he asked with a smile. "Sure, no hurry," I assured him. He finished writing on the cake and put it back into the box. "Here you go, miss," he said. "Hope you have a good time tonight. I'm sure you'll find the
cake as sweet as you," he added batting her eyes at him. Bakery Boy watched her walk handing her the cake. She took the cake from him away until she disappeared into the crowd of shoppers. Letting out a sigh, he turned back toward me. "Did you see how cute she was?" he asked with wonder. Before I could answer he was walking back behind the counter. "What did you want again ...oh yeah, some bread," he answered himself. He walked behind the bakery wall and reappeared with a loaf of hot French bread. "Here you go. A loaf of hot, delicious French bread for one of my favorite people," he said handing me the bread with a celierahalais.vahootom smile. "Thanks Bakery Boy. You have and thanked him with a shy smile. "Hope I see you again," he said another customer," I said nodding toward the cake case. as she started to walk away. A young lady about 18 years "Oh, I'm pretty sure you will," she called over her shoulder while old was walking back and forth,

trying to decide if she wanted a cookie cake or a regular cake. Bakery Boy straightened his apron and adjusted his cap. "Time to go to work," he said with a wink. He walked over to where the young lady was looking at a chocolate cake. "May I help you," I heard Win ask in a suave voice as I walked toward the cashiers. People seemed to really enjoy the tactics of Bakery Boy, and he, too, seemed to enjoy his job, I thought to myself. Customers always left the Bakery Department with a smile on their faces. I had to smile to myself. Bakery Boy fit his job so perfectly. He not only looks popping fresh in his snowy whites, he's just plain fresh.

istening to English singer/songwriter Leona Naess' (pronounced Ness) debut album, Comatised, is a religious experience, a rapturous ascension into the heart of music — pure emotion. Like Ani DiFranco, Liz Phair, Tori Amos and other forerunners of the chick-rock genre, Naess' sound is unique: a blend of pop standard and alternative with the occasional folk melody thrown

The result is Rock N' Roll the way it is meant to be — raw, untamed, musical bliss. "My producers were very open to all ideas," Naess said in an MCA records press release. "We used lots of crazy instruments and strings that had an avant-garde edge." "However, we all focused on creating strong rhythms and beats because, like when your a kid, that's what you notice before you can even recognize what the words mean." Comatised will be released in February 2000.

in for good measure. This is a welcome reprieve from the designer Rock N' Roll that infects the industry: Such music is engineered, molded into an ungodly aural blasphemy. The writers and producers attempt to spit-andpolish second rate songs and pass them off as art. Naess' music imparts upon the listener the impression that she writes and performs her songs for herself, an intimate journey that she graciously invites the audience to take with her.

TKE house not empty, says fraternity president Dear Editor: he men of TKE Fraternity want to thank ..The Vista for its coverage of the University's actions against us last month. It was good to hear some of the University's reasons, since they made their decision before asking for our side of the story and the University previously refused to identify any witnesses against us. We would like to obtain a retraction of the line that ran under the front-page photograph. The TKE House is not empty; in fact, every room is full, and we have
Confederate flag is part of U.S. history Dear Editor: take issue with the article, written by Heather Migdon from the College Press (exactly what connection she has with UCO I'm not sure) calling the Confederate Flag a disgrace. She calls it a racist symbol and is sad it that is displayed on "bumper stickers, license plates and pickup trucks antennas." This attitude disgusts me. She may see this flag (I am presuming she speaks of the Battle Flag, the one with a Cross of St. Andrew and the thirteen stars) as a racist symbol. In fact, she even says that "(w)hen people see a Confederate flag, they don't see the preservation of a chapter of America's history;
/
they see slavery and racism." I couldn't disagree more. I do see the history of this nation in that symbol. Whether the flag represents good or evil is irrelevant. The fact is that the Confederacy did exist, and no amount of revisionist history can change that. I had two great-great-grandfathers that I know of that were wounded fighting for the Lost Cause. To me, this flag honors those who fought for something in which they believed. For those who do see racism and slavery in this symbol and want it removed from all public places, I ask you to consider the feelings of the American Indian. How do you think he feels when he sees the flag of the United States? Oh,
wait, that's different ... the United States was the victor. I admit that some racist groups do claim the Confederate flag as their own symbol. I am also disgusted by this desecration of the flag. But since they also claim the American flag and Christianity, should we remove those as well, all in the name of not offending those who don't really understand history? Ms. Migdon says elsewhere in her article "that no white person in this country is in any position to tell a person of color what they ought and ought not to feel." I agree. I also ask for the same courtesy. Scott Markowitz Senior Political Science

n ing pro em CO has put students in a smelly situation. Broncho Lake continues to flood the center of the campus with its unpleasant odor. In the beginning of the semester, students noticed this awful odor floating in the air of the campus. They assumed it was a temporary problem and felt it was something they could sustain for a few days. But after a few days, the smell became more potent. Now it is simply ridiculous. Not only do students think twice before using the benches and sidewalks near the lake, they think twice about how their stomachs will feel after eating in the food court placed so closely to it. They know that after eating they will have to walk back into the filthy atmosphere near Broncho Lake. This indeed is a stinking problem. Students and faculty should not have to endure it any longer. The school needs to take responsibility for the problem and take action to fix it. We shouldn't have to smell our university a mile away. Clean up the lake (and do it before the fish die and stink up this < campus even more).
