TODAY IN HISTORY The hit sitcom M*A*S*H finally came to a close in 1983 after being on the air longer than the Korean War actually took place. The show, which was based on a hit book, play, and film, featured Alan Alda, Loretta Swit, Harry Morgan, and Jamie Fan. ,

UCO residents pay big bucks to live in small box BY VISTA STAFF
QUOTE OF THE DAY
oug West, a senior photographic arts major, wants to join his classmates on the summer 2001 photojournalism trip to England, but because he is hearing-impaired and will be without an interpreter, he may not be able to attend. Although UCO currently provides West with an interpreter on campus, they can't provide West with an interpreter on the month-long excursion. According to Dr. Brad Morelli, Equity Officer at UCO, in order to provide an interpreter, the school would have to pay $2800 for the travel expenses of an interpreter along with the $30 per hour interpreter fee. "American Disabilities Act accommodations do not apply outside the United States," said Liz Savage, Counsel to the Assistant Attorney of Civil Rights.
S
ome students living on campus are paying more than ten times per square foot of living space than most students who elect to live off-campus, The Vista has learned. A survey of apartment complexes within one mile of UCO done by The Vista found that the average cost per square foot for an unfurnished apartment occupied by one person with a kitchen, bath and one bedroom was $0.52 per square foot. Students living in East and West Halls pay approximately $5.23 per square foot, have no bathtubs, group showers, no kitchens and have to pay extra to live in their rooms during school breaks. Commons residents pay an average of $0.71 per square foot, with both two and four bedroom styles available, kitchens, two bathrooms with bathtubs, living rooms and complete furnishings. On-campus residents do have a variety of
meal plans, saving them from the chores of cooking and food storage. These plans can effect the price of living on campus, and are mandatory for residence hall dwellers, and optional for Commons residents. A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Enterprises, said the cost of living on-campus at UCO is lower than the cost at other universities of similar size, but the campus housing provides many benifits that offcampus living can not. "An apartment has many, many difficulties ... your walking distance, parking. On campus you can study together, you can sit down someplace and meet people and group study," Rahman said. "Over here you see the security is good ... you go to an apartment, you are on your own. Here you are taken care of, and [UCO] pays all the bills." Living off campus opens students up to parking problems, commutes, and keeps students farther away from study resources such as the library, other students and
professors offices. "[On-campus living] is much much better for studying. I would want to graduate in four years, not five or six." ♦ Price per sq. ft.

Cheaper food, mo re choices needed Granted, the food court does provide some good food options for decent prices. At least breakfast food is served, but for those who grew up on Golden Grahms or brown sugar oatmeal, good luck finding any comfort food. Bagels are a healthy alternative to the bacon, eggs, donuts and other fried foods served in abundance, but they cost a pretty penny. And for milk-lovers, a half pint will cost ya 60 cents. Whatever happened to a quarter? Lunch/dinner choices are pleasantly varied and most are reasonable in price compared with prices at fast food joints. But for lunch, there's definitely a missing option: A salad bar. Yeah, Blimpie and Chick-fil-A offer containers of lettuce and meat, but it would be nice for us health-nuts to eat something we had a chance to create. A salad bar would be a quick hit and soup and baked potatoes could easily be added. For now, students should voice their opinions to the management about what food items they'd like sold in the University Center. And anyone caught leaving the convenience store with Ramen noodles should be arrested. •
morning packed with classes means a hungry tummy around noon for many students — especially those of us who have to stroll through the University Center around 11 a.m. Who can resist that overwhelming smell of freshly-baked breadsticks? Some wait in line to purchase a meal. Others opt to snack throughout the day on items purchased in UCO's convenience store. Either way, customers may get a raw deal if they aren't careful. Take for example a package of good ol' Ramen noodles. At a grocery store, 16 cents is the max. At UCO's convenience store, the dried-up worms will cost ya 45 cents. Other prices at the convenience store are about as ridiculous: 8 ounces of yogurt cost 99 cents compared to a 55- cent norm at grocery stores, and "UCO oranges" cost 60 cents each, compared to the 17-cent norm. So maybe students should forget convenience store snacking and go for a meal in UCO's food court.

UCO offers new minor in substance abuse studies BY SARA MORRELL
Staff Writer
S
tudents pursuing a career that focuses on helping others now have an option for a minor in Substance Abuse Studies. The new minor became available this fall, soon after the Sociology and Criminal Justice department changed its name to Sociology, Criminal Justice and Substance Abuse Studies. One person who is especially enthusiastic about the changes is Dr. Bob Jones, the coordinator of the Substance Abuse Studies program. Jones has been teaching at UCO for 10 years. UCO has 65 majors in the area, and the name change might increase awareness, Jones said. Many students don't know that UCO offers a degree in Substance Abuse Studies, and many students have learned of the program when they are close to graduation, and regret not knowing about it, said Jones. UCO has offered the major for 12 years. The program now has its own prefix used in the course catalog and class schedule — SAS. Formerly called Chemical Dependency, the program

name was changed to Substance Abuse Studies to reflect terminology more commonly used by federal programs. "'Chemical dependency' was a fairly outdated term," Jones said. After testing to become a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, graduates of the program may seek employment as substance abuse counselors, preventionists, or counselors in private treatment centers. Opportunities are also available with state and federal government, working with youth prevention programs and state departments of mental health and human services. "We have graduates employed all over the state, some of them in leadership positions," Jones said. Mandy Whitten, senior Substance Abuse Studies major, said she finds her classes in the department very interesting. She chose her major because she has family members with substance abuse problems, and wants to learn to help others with their problems. "My life is only worthwhile if I'm helping people," Whitten said. Anyone interested in learning more about the Substance Abuse Studies program can call Dr. Jones at ♦

Scholarship sends students to study abroad BY SARAH DAVIS
Staff Writer ccording to U.S. Education Secretary Richard Riley, only nine percent of college students (about 114,000) leave the U.S. to study in foreign countries. UCO students are encouraged to join these select few by applying for the Fulbright Scholarship. "We need to enhance our education in other countries. We live in a global society and what happens around the world affects us," said Dr. Siegfried Heit, associate professor of humanities and philosophy. Those who have obtained a bachelor's degree or its equivalent by the 2001-02 school year and are interested in traveling abroad are urged to enter the competition. There are 953 grants available for opportunities in over 100 different countries. Over 4,000 applications are predicted for the spots. Applicants are required to have

program. By going overseas, you gain a greater insight about the world," Heit said. Heit traveled back to Germany in 1976 for a Fulbright lecture award. He received a third Fulbright award in 1988 and traveled to Turkey. The Fulbright program was signed into law by President Truman in 1946. The money used for the scholarships was the military surplus gained after WWII. The scholarship was named after Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, who saw the project as a much-needed opportunity for future leaders to observe and understand outside countries and peoples. "We must dare to think about `unthinkable things' because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless," Fulbright said. The deadline to apply for the scholarship is Oct. 18, 2000. For more information, call Dr. Siegfried Heit at 9745633 or Dr. Amy Carrell at 974-5609. •

"According to Section 504, ADA has no legal obligation for a class that is being conducted in England." UCO photojournalism instructor, John Frair, doesn't agree with the ADA policy because he said, UCO is displacing a classroom to foreign country. Without an interpreter, West's disability will severely inhibit his learning experience. "Sign language is not universal," said Frair. "British sign language is different than American sign and, in England, it's not like we can pick up an interpreter for American sign."
When West was two years old, he contracted spinal meningitis which caused him to become completely deaf. No one in West's family communicated through sign language and his parents stressed that he communicate with the hearing world through lipreading. "I attended mainstream schools all my life. Until the eighth grade, I had only read lips in classes, but when I met another hearing-impaired person in school, I began to learn sign language," he said. After learning sign, Doug then continued his education with the assistance interpreters.
Doug graduated with an Associate's Degree in 1998 from Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville, Fla., and then transferred to UCO in that fall to study photographic arts. "I know of a hearing impaired person at OU that is getting their accommodations paid by the school for a one year trip to France," said West. "I hope that for any person with a disability, they will have a fair chance to experience the same opportunities as the hearing world." ♦

Once the outline is painted on the wall, the project goes quickly. "It's like a coloring book," Palmer said. Palmer uses exterior house paint to create the works. Continuity through the mural is ensured by having students work on different sections of the mural each day, so that one style isn't evident in just one area of the painting. Each mural takes about a week to complete, but Palmer and his students just completed their last mural in only two days. The murals last as about as long as the manufacturer's warranty on the paint used, usually about 15-20 years, depending on the condition of the wall. •

MOROCCO, Rabat —The center party, National Rally of Independents (RNI), topped the elections, held Friday in Morocco to renew one third of the Chamber of Advisors, upper house of parliament. According to the results announced Friday night by interior minister, Ahmed El Midaoui, RNI, which participates in the center-left coalition government, gleaned 14 of the 81 seats vied for by the political parties in two of the three colleges.
COLUMBIA—The columbian government committed to spending $4.5 billion for "Plan Columbia," a $7.5 billion plan to fight drugs, crime and improve the economy. Last year Columbia's economy shrank by 5% and unemployment reached 20%. Several European states and Japan have made contributions to the plan. Last year's recession, a 4.5% drop in GDP, was Colombia's worst in a century.

IRAQ, Baghdad— A nighttime mortar attack killed a child and injured 20 other people in a residential area of Baghdad, the official Iraqi News Agency said Sunday. Three 122 mm mortar rounds were fired in an unnamed neighborhood at 2:00 a.m. local time (23:00 gmt), damaging houses, the agency quoted a government spokesman as saying. The spokesman blamed "the agents of the Iranian regime" for the attack and warned that "this crime will not pass without revenge."
INDONESIA,Jakarta—Defense Secretary William Cohen warned Indonesia it must rein in army-controlled gangs that have murdered U.N. peacekeepers and aid workers in Timor or risk international isolation. "We want to see the militias eliminated," Cohen said
JERUSALEM— Church leaders in the Holy Land have launched a campaign to protest Israel's construction of a large mosque in Nazareth. The mosque is to be built next to the Basilica of the Annunciation. Church officials complain Israel made excessive concessions to the Muslims while ignoring promises made to Christian leaders, including Pope John Paul II. Tensions boiled over last year with Christian-Muslim violence.

ne of the reasons college graduates get good jobs is because they have proven how well they can deal with stress. When I was a student, it was common to enroll in 16-18 hours a semester, stay involved in at least 2-3 campus organizations, live in a dorm/apartment with several roommates, and work (at little or no salary, I might add) for a professor who knew about the real world. It was stressful, indeed, but the excitement of exams, fraternity incidents, overdue bills, grumpy professors, and crazy girlfriends seemed to keep me going. I recall one week in which I did not do all too well on an exam, the fraternity got in trouble for riding motorcycles down the stairs, my bank account was down to $1.80, and Domino's pizza had requested a warrant for the arrest of one of my roommates. It seemed like a living hell and I had to take a long, hard look at priorities. Stress can make you do some pretty creative things. It was on a Friday Night, before a 7:30 AM Saturday Calculus Class, that I was thinking about a party down the street and homework due the following morning. Since this was a math class, and all, I took out the handydandy calculator, that we all wore on our belts those days, and performed an interesting calculation. Assuming, back then, that a college graduate makes an average of about $20,000 a year more than non-graduates - for about 30 years, this means that a diploma is worth about $600,000 in a person's lifetime. I'm sure a diploma is worth more these days. And if you figure that most students graduate from college in 4 years, that means that every year is
worth about $150,000. If you break that down to attending class 32 weeks a year at 16 hours per week, this means the average lecture has the potential to add $293 to a person's lifetime income. That sure made me think. I mean, was Dr. Kaufmann, who was teaching Calculus on Saturday morning really worth $293 an hour? Which also made me think, at $293 an hour, 16 hours a week, and 32 weeks per year, professors should be making $150,000 per year. Hmmmmm. Well, I don't think Dr. Kaufmann made even a third of that salary, but he was worth every bit of the tuition I paid at Purdue University. Since that class, I've used Calculus on numerous occasions and even published a few papers on growth dynamics of plants using partial differential equations. So, even with a stressful week, I got the homework done and made it to class on Saturday morning. This is not to say I didn't enjoy the party that evening, but I did go knowing my homework was done and I had a new, positive perspective on education. Perhaps the best way to deal with stress is through productive reasoning. I've always felt that there is a purpose for the many challenges of life, and school is one of the greatest opportunities we have to fulfill our lives. I relish the days of anxiety and anticipation when professors return exams. We've all lived those cold hands, sweaty armpit, knot-inthe-stomach, and diarrhea days. But they are ever so much enjoyable when you realize that challenges are what motivate us to persevere, stay positive, and continue our quest for new knowledge. After all, life would be pretty boring if there weren't any challenges and people knew everything. So what's in store for you after college? More stress, of course. But many rewards as well. When you find yourself overwhelmed in class, too tired to study, and disappointed in your academic performance, stay optimistic. The old saying of, "what goes around comes around," also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics, is really true. Hard work is rewarded. It just takes a little longer than you might expect. •

produce evidence of Banfe speaking, Darefordollars.com will pay the hunter a cool $1,000, and Banfe's silent ride will screech to an abrupt end. Naturally, Darefordollars.com is encouraging any wannabe Boba Fetts to be tasteful and lawful in their attempts to make Banfe speak. But rules are rules, and speaking for any reason other than an emergency is grounds for disqualification, says Poznick. Since launching in April, Darefordollars.com has accepted bids from armchair daredevils across the country and have showcased their acts, which have ranged from bowling in a jock to wearing nothing but a whipped cream bikini. But unlike Darefordollars.com's previous episodes, Banfe's mission is unique in that it is not a one-shot shock attack, but an enduring journey that a single slip of the tongue can destroy. And turning a vow of silence into good video is a unique challenge, according to executive producer Barry Poznick. "Whenever someone sends us an idea, there are questions we always ask," Poznick said. "Is it funny? Is it unusual? Is it difficult? Shocking? Will people talk about it?" According to Poznick, Banfe's proposal made the grade. Darefordollars.com will present a series of "Webisodes" chronicling Banfe's crusade of silence. •

HUMOROUS
HO ROSCOP E5
BY DAVE THE GREAT, STAFF MYSTIC ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) Journalists are usually bad at math. An Aries helped me out with a math problem, so I predict that all Aries will have great weeks.
TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) Taurus, the Bull. Avoid cheap restaurants this week; you might wind up the main course.
This is a good week to try a new hobby, such as skydiving, rock climbing or lion-taming. Or maybe smoking.
This is a good week to make a lot of money by taking out life insurance on Geminis.
LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) I don't like Geminis very much. Does it show?
VIRGO : ( AUG 23 - SEPT 22 ) The stars show the coming week to be a time of trial for you. Try throwing yourself on the mercy of the court, because you are obviously guilty of something.
LIBRA : ( SEPT 23 - OCT 23 ) Stop bragging about your summer fling. Nobody believes you.
SCORPIO : (OCT 24 - NOV 21) Dave, tell my future! Dave, read my palm! Why isn't it ever, Dave, take this big pile of money? Ok, you ungrateful Scorpio, here it is: the coming week will hold a lot of mystery for you, mainly because I will not tell you what is going to happen. Hey, at lease' am not picking on the Pisces this week.
SAGITARIUS : ( NOV 22 - DEC 21 ) The thought of three more months of school until winter break will drive you over the edge this week, prompting you to sing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" while dancing on the roof of the University Center in a pair of "Santa Claus" underroos.
CAPRICORN : (DEC 22 - JAN 19) Ok, the Chia-Pet® herb garden was a nice idea for sprucing up that cafeteria food, but I don't think the manufacturers intended for the Chia to grow that kind of herb. But if you make any money off it, you can pay me for my silence. Remember, I have a crystal ball. I see everything.
