Express Food Court not living up to students' expectations By Katie Hawk StaffWriter

tudents aren't happy with the food served in the Chartwells' Express Food Court (EFC), according to an informal survey conducted on Sept. 30. Thirty-two students were asked their opinion on the food taste, quality, price, and accessibility. Accessibility got an A+. It was the only category in which students did not voice complaints. Price received a C. Students made comments stating the food was "too expensive" and "I always spend at least $4." Some students made suggestions on how to cut down on costs. Some suggestioned EFC could serve combinations of different food items. Stephanie Mills, sophomore, eats her Others said the food court could "quit lunch in the Food Court Express ripping students off" and "lower the prices." Monday. (Staff photo by Sara Morrell)

Students said they liked last spring's food court better. They reminisced about the food served by Burger King, Taco Bell, Pizza Gusta, and Subway. A. K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Enterprises, oversees food court operations. Rahman said name brand identification is the reason students liked the old food court better. However, students said they preferred the old food court because the food tasted better. Of the students surveyed, 59.3 percent were eating Chick-fil-A, 31.3 percent weren't eating at the time, and 9.4 percent were eating something other than Chick-fil-A. "Chick-fil-A, that's all I eat," said Laura Melrose, sophomore. Chick-fil-A got an A+ for quality and taste, but the rest of the food served at EFC got a B-. Two students said that after eating food from El Broncho, they became sick. "We only eat here because we have

to," said Kevin Wilson, a UCO music junior . Wilson said the food quality is terrible. One student said the burgers from Broncho Burger taste like soy bean. On the contrary, Rahman said, "We are using the same meat and same cooking methods as Burger King." Rahman says he is checking on the prices at El Broncho, and how they are cooking the products. Another student wished the cafeteria across from EFC was still open because it had a salad bar and a variety of food. "But hey, we've got a nice place to eat it in. Maybe that's why they built the pond, to distract from the food," said Ron Cariker, UCO student. Rahman also said that EFC plans on adding ethnic foods to the menu, such as Oriental and Asian foods. As far as Subway joining EFC, Rahman said, "Everything's ready. It's a matter of getting their John Hancock (signature)."

Unjusi, un air and inexcusable

an you imagine being awakened in your home by a cop who asks you to move your car out of your driveway to allow someone else to park there? UCO students living on campus can relate to such a scenario. According to the president of the Residence Hall Association, UCO campus police awakened students in their dormitories after 12 a.m. on Saturday to ask them to move their cars to allow more parking space for visitors arriving for homecoming. As if we didn't have enough of a parking problem on this campus! Our administrators should keep in mind that the students who park their cars in those spacing are paying for the privilege to do so. This reportedly has happened on more than one occasion, according to the RHA president. That paying students are treated this way is inexcusable. That they are awakened at such an hour to be submitted to this treatment is nearly unforgivable. Perhaps the students affected by this action should spend a few nights driving by the homes of those responsible, blaring their horns...or asking to use their driveways. < Pujan Roka IThe Vista

Editor's convictions on sensitive issues applauded

university has a responsibility to encourage its students to address and approach issues from many sides and be open to a diversity of viewpoints. A campus newspaper editorial staff should address issues and present questions and concerns that will allow readers and the university community to think more fully about an issue: its thorough ramifications, the financial impact, and its long-term effect on student and campus growth. A first class university needs students, faculty, and staff who are activists; people who

are not afraid to take risks and question decisions made, even if those decisions appear to be popular ones. I sometimes disagree with editorials in The Vista, but I always applaud the editor's conviction to fairly question and address sensitive issues that affect students, society, and the campus environment. I am thankful this campus has such a voice. It is sorely needed. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jim Watson Professor, art and design

Fitness center encourages enrollment, student says

his letter is response to the article in The Vista on 29 September about President Webb wanting to build a fitness center. What is all the opposition for? It is true that there are several health clubs in Edmond and Oklahoma City, I belong to one of them, but I would much rather have one on campus. I would rather pay twenty-five dollars a semester in fees for a facility on campus than the twenty-five dollars a month I pay now to belong to a club. I also think you sell UCO short by saying it is not that kind of campus and that it can't compete with OU and OSU. I don't think this is true at all and the niche you speak of is more of a rut.

You write as if nontraditional students are the vast majority on campus and that you don't want to see any changes that would bring more to traditional students to UCO. I'm a traditional student that transferred from OU and think that academically this school is superior but it definitely doesn't have the student involvement and extra (like a fitness center) that OU has. I think the idea of a fitness center is a good step in increasing traditional student enrollment and offers something beneficial to all current students as well. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Natasha Stalcup Junior, forensic science

Free enterprise chapter involved in Social Security reform By Maria Crane Studwittillter

t is still early in the school year, and many students continue to seek ways to fit into UCO activities. Campus clubs and organizations are an excellent way for students to become involved, and one club in particular invites motivated students to learn how the free enterprise system affects Americans. The local chapter of Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) provides college students the opportunity to become involved in projects designed to teach free enterprise in the metropolitan area and around the world. This year's biggest project is to help citizens become aware of the nation's need for social security reform. Using the ideas of Sam Beard, author of "Restoring Hope in America: The Social Security Solution," SIFE has developed the Creating a Nation of Savers Bureau to educate citizens of options for reforming Social Security. SIFE students donate their time to serve as guest

For the past two years UCOSIPE has entered their projects in regional and international competitions. In April, they were named Regional Champions and won awards in two other categories. UCO-SIFE also placed third for AT&T's Best Use of the Internet and the Business Week's Best Use of the Mass Media categories in the international competition. These competitions won $6,500 in awards for the campus chapter. Muhammed Al-Anasi, an international student at UCO, has been a member of SIFE for the past three years. "SIFE has helped me to become more involved on our campus. It has taught me better interpersonal skills," Al-Anasi said. The next SIFE meeting will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 8, in Conference Room 115 of the College of Business Building. For more information, contact Hansen at 974-2483.

U.S. Census Bureau hiring for 2000 count By James Gutzmer Staff.

he United States Census Bureau office in Kansas City, is looking for 30,000 temporary "addresslisting" workers before the end of the year. The bureau will need approximately 5,000 workers in Oklahoma, to work the suburban and rural areas. The employees will go block by block, recording the locations and addresses of living quarters. Next year, they will concentrate on urban areas. The bureau is not sure how many people from the Edmond area will be hired due to the fact that travel will be involved. "The jobs will consist of some traveling so it will depend how many applicants and how far people will travel," said Kansas City Regional Director Henry Palacios. The address listing operation is the first major activity leading up to the

census that will take place April 1, 2000. Employees will compile lists of where people live or might live. The 2000 census will play an important part in Oklahoma, because the population count will determine if the state will retain or loose its fifth district congressional seat. "This effort is expected to lead a complete count of Oklahoma for Census 2000," Palacios said. "This is a good job for college students because it is basically done on your own schedule," Palacios said. The hourly wage for these jobs range from $6.25 to $9.75, plus approved expenses, such as mileage. Job requirements include being a U.S. citizen and access to reliable transportation. All applicant must also have a high school diploma or GED. Applicants must also be 18 years old. Applications are available by calling the Census Bureau's toll free number, 1888-325-7733.

Dissection remains a common classroom exercise, even though humane, educationally sound alternatives are readily available.

Bronchos remain undefeated By James Gutzmer Sport: Writer

he Langston Lions proved to be an ominous opponent, at least in the first half. The Lions rode the Bronchos' backs the first half of the homecoming showdown. UCO finally shook the troublesome Lions in the second half, winning 29-13 and moving to 5-0 on the season. Langston's penalty-ridden team was flagged 17 times for a total of 119 yards. They also fumbled the ball four times, turning it over to the Bronchos twice. Langston was also forced to punt eight times. "In the second half we made some decisions about the type of defense we were playing. We

thought we could run cut backs on them. It ended up working out pretty good," Head Coach Gary Howard said. Both teams were slow starting. Langston's first possession was three plays for negative two yards. The Lions had to punt. UCO's first drive was not much better. The Bronchos fell short on a long pass on fourth down after moving the ball only 27 yards. The two teams took turns punting the ball the rest of the first quarter. In the second quarter, UCO was able to move the ball down the field for the first score of the game. The drive was sparked by Reggie Donner, who took the ball over the left end for 54 yards to the Langston 34 yard line.

"It was a good battle and I like a good battle. We prevailed. I give them credit. They came out to win," Donner said. The rest of the drive was led by Ryan Logan, and two offside penalties against Langston. Logan carried the ball three times for a total of 22 yards. UCO came out in the second half, scoring a field goal on the first drive. Alton Lusk got the drive started by returning the kickoff 26 yards to give the Bronchos good field position. Donner rushed for 29 yards up the middle 4 plays later, moving the Bronchos to the LU 20. That is where the drive stalled, but the Bronchos scored a field goal on the leg of kicker Ronnie Gulikers. UCO led 10-0. The Lions then drove the ball

down the field to score on two long passes. UCO led 10-7 with 5:55 left in the third quarter. The Bronchos took off down the field again.

was given the award for developing a program that helped employment service workers better assist job-seekers. He said his program saved the state $2.5 million per year. "When I was working for the employment service, I could send a person out to a job interview, knowing that person was qualified for the job, and they wouldn't get it because they didn't know how to communicate," Kenny said. "Communication is so important. Ninety percent of what we do while we're awake is communicating." Communicating, Kenny said, isn't just about being able to talk to other people. "Even the speech classes that are being taught now teach the child independence and individualism," he said. "It teaches them to listen and evaluate. The better listener you are, the better you comprehend and can evaluate what you hear.

If that quote were taken out of context—a miscommunication— Kenny Freeman would sound like a pretty mean dude. Fortunately for me, Kenny was talking about what happens when someone who can't communicate verbally seeks other alternatives. Kenny, a 41-year-old journalism/public relations major at UCO, said a lack of communication is one of the biggest problems facing our communities today. "If I was to start a grass roots movement, I would encourage communication in leadership training," Kenny said. "The end result would be high school

Leadership roles are not foreign territory for Kenny, who is an associate pastor for Avery Chapel in Oklahoma City, president of UCO's chapter of the Association of Black Journalists, a member of UCO's student government and public relations coordinator for the Black Student Association. He is also the only person in the metro area to be voted Toastmaster of the Year five times. As, for communication, Kenny was awarded the State of Oklahoma's Productivity Enhancement Award by Gov.

It was the fear of communicating his ignorance that forced him to do poorly and eventually to drop out of school, Kenny said. It was the skills he learned as a Toastmaster that made him want to return to school. Good communication skills, Kenny said, will make a person a better leader. But, he added, it will also help society as a whole. "Where ever you find high unemployment or high crime, people are not communicating," he said. "One of the best examples of that is teen gangs

If they're hooking up with gangs to belong, they have low self-esteem. They can learn self-esteem through communications." Kenny said when people have self-esteem and the ability to communicate, they can avoid dangerous, anti-social behavior. "When you can't communicate verbally, you start cursing—cussing people out," he said. "When arguing fails, you resort to violence. That's when you have someone who's thinking, 'I can't figure out any other way to make you understand what I'm trying to get across, so I'm going to punch you.'" 11 d s n t C d . •

(minority) students to the sciences. We don't have enough minority students in those areas and we want to draw them to the areas and help them remain in them," said Dr. Narasinga Rao, faculty research department director. "This is not a financial needbased grant. But an incentive to attract underrepresented minorities in sciences." Undergraduate students, in nonmedical science programs, are encouraged to apply for the Spring 1999 semester. However, the applicants must be minorities. Application forms are available at the Office of Faculty Research, in Room 216 of the Administration Building. Or call Rao at 974-2524. The grants are made possible

through the Oklahoma Alliance for Minority Participation in Science Mathematics, Engineering and Technology, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. Twenty-eight universities and colleges from across the state make up the long-named alliance. Rao is the co-principal investigator for the alliance and director of the grant program at UCO. This is the third year grants have been available. The first year, $136,000 was allocated, the next year $130,000 and this year, $92,000 was made available, Rao said. "The grant will continue for two more years. We want to renew it at that time," he said. "We encourage all minority students to apply for the grants.'-'4

Sigma Kappa floats to second place By Jim Hulsey

t's not uncommon, when the recounts are done, some winners will become losers and some others become winners. Such was the case with this year's Homecoming Parade. During the Homecoming game, the announcer awarded first place in the student organizations' homecoming floats to Kappa Sigma. Second place went to Alpha Tau Omega and third place to the President's Leadership Council. After a recount, the winner's circle

changed. "We just got in a hurry," said Lynn Means, director of student activities. Means regrets the mistake, but when the votes were recounted, the second and third place changed. Kappa Sigma remained in first place. Sigma Kappa was named the new second place winner while Alpha Tau Omega dropped down to third place. The President's Leadership Council finished fourth. "I know they will be disappointed," said Dr. Barbara Norman, chairwoman.
