Copy Editor leeping in the restroom, eating from the office refrigerators and monopolizing a dorm TV are some of the things students have witnessed the janitorial staff doing instead of their normal duties lately. "I went in [the men's restroom] before my eight o'clock, and there was a guy ... __hunched over on the bench. He was out cold," said Cheyenne Fletcher, a senior MIS major. One Vista staff member entered the office at 11 p.m. to find a woman asleep on top of the conference desk. The same staff member also found a janitor sleeping on the couch in the women's restroom late at night. Not all students mind the janitors getting a little relaxation.

EDITORIAL It's a dirty job, and no one's doing it s we wade through the piles of scary green things growing in the restroom to try and cram chunks of garbage into the mountainous piles of refuse that cover the last known sighting of the trash can, let us take a moment to reflect on the brave men and Women who daily battle the forces of darkness, or at least the forces of darkness's rubbish. From the fearless decision to sleep on the conference table of The Vista's office at 3 a.m., to their dedicated daytime television watching in Murdaugh Hall, to their diligent couch-napping in the women's bathroom of the Communications Building, the sanitation engineers of UCO work hard to ensure that nobody has to endure a clean campus.

Sure, there is the occasional allegation of stolen sodas from a tipped-over vending machine and the annoying sight of strange people rooting through office fridges and using staff telephones for multi-hour conversations — but isn't it all worth it in the end? The sure knowledge that if you throw a pizza party and ask for a trash bag to hold your empty boxes, they will diligently deny your request to save an estimated 0.00004¢ in the trash bag budget. Yes, these examples of valor above and beyond the call of duty are all from eyewitness accounts, and are worthy of the highest recognition and awards. We at The Vista commend the janitorial contractors and their unwavering dedication to a clean and happy campus. •

HIV conference scheduled By MENA GANESAN
Staff Writer ccording to the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), there are currently over 4,000 people living in Oklahoma with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). "We have to get the word out to young adults that unprotected sex or sharing drug paraphenalia can lead to HIV and a host of other diseases," said Laura DeMars, prevention educator at Carepoint, a social service for people living with HIV. "Although we have medication to help the disease, the medication is almost as debilitating as the disease itself," said DeMars, who has HIV. This year the Oklahoma HIV Conference will assist Oklahomans in dealing with the challenges of living with the virus and with changing behaviors to reduce the risk of contracting HIV. The two-day conference will

SPORTS UCO soccer club's desire restricted by Title IX BY MARY HALL
Sports Writer ver wonder why there is not a men's varsity soccer team? Those who wonder probably don't have a clue about the rules that any NCAA team must follow. Those who know why one doesn't exist are probably familiar with the term "Title IX." In 1972, Title IX was passed to encourage gender equity in colleges. As applied to athletics, it means that men and women have to have equal opportunity: the percentage of female athletes has to be proportional to the percentage of female students, and the same amount of money and scholarships has to be available. UCO has seven women's varsity teams and eight men's varsity teams. Adding a men's varsity soccer team would violate the conditions of Title IX. Even though this is a legal issue, it has not stopped some people from having the desire for men's soccer to become varsity. "It has been a desire ever since people have started realizing that soccer is a major sport," said Jalal Daneshfar, UCO soccer club coach since 1987. What is the difference? Why varsity? Besides being allocated more financial assistance in scholarships than most clubs, some say the level of competition is higher. For those who love playing

UCO Athletic Director Skip Adam McMillen, president of the UCO soccer club, says that Wagnon agrees that adding men's Title IX is a good thing for women, soccer would be expensive. "The way the political climate is because it offers them a chance to play sports that were once only right now with Title IX, we don't offered to men. He admits that he have the position to add another would like to play on on a varsity men's sport," he said. Daneshfar argues that funding level.

Texas A & M tradition still under fire after fatal accident BY CHRISTOPHER LEE
College Press Reporter
B
uilders of the Texas A&M bonfire broke state engineering laws and could be ordered by a judge not to construct a similar log stack off-campus this fall, a state agency ruled Sept. 8. While the Texas Board of Professional Engineers will not seek sanctions against the students, officials vowed to issue a cease-and-desist order or seek a court injunction if a student group called Keep the Fire Burning proceeds with plans to build an off-campus bonfire this fall against the university's wishes. The board also is looking into whether university officials broke state law as well. A&M spokesman Lane Stephenson said the university would continue to cooperate fully with the inquiry and noted that university officials, too, are trying to squelch any attempts to have a bonfire this year. "We're doing everything possible to encourage to act prudently and not construct a bonfire of any sort," Stephenson said. The ruling Sept. 8 was the latest development in the engineering boards ongoing inquiry into the Nov. 18 bonfire collapse, which killed 12 people and injured 27. The board's actions did not go far enough for some relatives of the dead and injured who attending the meeting. "You tell me who you have heard say 'I was at fault,"' said John Breen, a civil engineering professor at the University of Texas whose son, Christopher Breen was killed in the collapse. Stephenson of A&M declined to comment on such

criticism, saying "it's just a matter of interpretation." UCO student, Melinda Lyon agreed with Stephenson, saying, "I think it was a freak accident although I'm not sure what kind of supervision they had. They should have had more supervision." In May, a special commission put together by A&M blamed the accident on poor construction and design practices made possible by "tunnel vision" and a chronic lack of oversight by the university. A month later A&M President Ray Bowen canceled the annual Aggie bonfire until at least 2002 and offered wholesale changes that will shift much of the
responsibility for the bonfire from students to professional engineers. In their own three-month inquiry, members of the state engineering board found that students and others who were practicing engineering without a license. That's a violation of the Texas Engineering Practice Act, a 1937 law that protects public safety by regulating the design and construction of buildings and other structures. Under the engineering practice act, a public work that costs more than $8,000 and requires structural, electrical or mechanical engineering expertise must be designed and supervised by a licensed engineer. The bonfire can cost more than $50,000 a year, but students raise most of it through private donations. Hsu said the board did not impose sanctions because it prefers to look to the future and concentrate on ensuring that any new bonfire is safely built. Although the board can impose fines of up to $3,000 per day per violation, if there are any sanctions at all they are likely to take the form of an official reprimand or statement of condemnation, she said. Sean Breen, an Austin lawyer and the brother of Christopher Breen, said after Friday's meeting that he will be hopeful that "the right thing is going to be done." He said he was disappointed that the board had focused on the role of the students Sept. 8 and on the future of the bonfire rather than on the actions of A&M officials. "It's clear from the proceeding today that there was unfortunate and deplorable conduct on the part of A&M. There is no future for my brother. He doesn't have that option. We have to look to the past," Breen said. •

work, they might as well take a little nap," said Kevin Huffine, senior history major. Sleeping in strange places is not the only complaint heard by Vista staff. Several Murdaugh Hall residents report that a female janitor watches TV in the lobby each day for hours at a time. In the Aug. 13 edition of The Vista, it was reported that a janitorial employee was found by a security officer leaving the Business Building with two large garbage bags full of soft drinks. Another Vista staff member entered the office late at night to find a janitor eating food from the office refrigerator and using the telephone. This came at the end of a sixweek period in which the vending company says the UCO machines lost a total of $340 worth of drinks. No charges have been filed in the case. These janitors are employed by Witt Fiala Flannery (WFF), which is
contracted by UCO to do all the custodial work. When The Vista contacted WFF, the person who identified herself as a manager left her office without commenting, and did not return The Vista's phone calls. The university keeps tabs on the performance of WFF, and has promised to look into the allegations of strange behavior. "We have been watching very closely the quality of the work and the cleaning which we get from WFF, as per their contract," said Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of university relations. "At this point, we are generally satisfied with the quality of the work, although there have been a few incidents where complaints led to disciplinary action. "If there are indeed patterns of behavior which are inappropriate, or which interfere with our students use of university facilities, we will aggressively investigate that and see to it that such things do not occur," Wiseman said. •

Buyouts of contracts could cost taxpayers millions of dollars to rid the system of ineffective or corrupt presidents, he said. Passage of SQ 686 would also be discriminatory and could lead to unwarranted differential treatment among college presidents, faculty and staff, Guild said. Serious deficiencies occur now in the selection process for college presidents which are not addressed
and may increase if SQ 686 is not defeated, he said. Many of the college and university presidents are former politicians and businessmen. Some lack a higher education experience. Faculty input is often not addressed, Guild said. "I feel very strongly that we should not further create a caste system in Oklahoma Higher Education. There are already a lot of
inequalities within the system and I feel the passage of this state question would make a bad situation worse. Faculty, staff and other administration should be treated like the professionals we are and this state question sends the wrong message," Guild said. "This is an issue that is up to the voter's in Oklahoma," said Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of university relations. •

Margaret Caldwell, a senior substance abuse studies major, felt that Richard's actions were part of his manipulative nature. "He knew his objective all along and did what was necessary to survive," Caldwell said, "he evolved and changed in order to win." Sophomore Jason Seitz, took a less serious approach stating "I'm surprised everyone didn't end up going around naked." Another topic was the personal side of trying to survive. "It was very personal. We all slept together, we all ate together,
and we all lived together. You can't get much more personal than that," Gretchen said. Survival tactics differed among the students as well. One student offered his strategy. "I would try to fit in with everybody and pull my weight," stated Larry Burgess, a senior substance abuse studies major. How long it will take for "Survivor" to go away brought differing opinions. Sue said "It's hard to say because when the next one starts up it probably means- that things with us will probably start back up." Most students seemed to be concerned only with the fact that "Survivor" should go away, not -if it would go away. "Any amount of time would be too long," stated Seitz. •

True adventures of a pre-teen comic book junkie
E
ntry in the Michael Ross Dictionary: Fanboy (noun): Any person, male or female, who is more concerned with the goings-on in their comic book collection than they are in any social situation; fanboys are often characterized by their desire to complete their collections. While on one of my return trips to my hometown, I had the good fortune of rediscovering a virtual gold mine of creativity I'd tried so hard to bury. On a-whim, I'd pulled out my comic book collection. Maybe it was the lack of things to do, or nostalgia after seeing this summer's X-Men film, or some higher power guiding me to the shelf in my closet. Whatever it was, some voice in my head called out to me: "MIKE! EMBRACE YOUR GEEK ROOTS!" For something like five years, I pursued key issues of my favorite titles with a crusader's fervor. I hoarded X-Men and Superman like some kind of print-obsessed pack rat. Mylar bags, and white backing -boards were the tools of my trade. I was, indeed, a junior high fanboy, and I was the best there was at what I did. While I admit the hobby may seem less than cool on the surface — I can still see the looks on people's faces when I would brag about getting Green Lantern #46 — the virtues of comic book collecting truly cannot be denied. Indeed, without my early appreciation of the creative forces behind the titles I read, I probably would have never thought that grown men could, in fact, make a living off tapping the imaginations they had as children. Men like Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Scott Lobdell, Neal Adams, and Mark Waid crafted miniature universes each month, weaving tales so fantastic that kids like me couldn't wait to read. While pouring over volumes and volumes of epic battles
between good and evil, I thought of a particular episode in my quest for Cool Stuff that brought me to a rather surreal corner in Ponca Oklahoma. My grandparents used to live in good old PC, having relocated there sometime around my mom's 7th grade; year. Many a summer was spent trekking up to Kay County, home of the Pioneer Woma and Chick and Millie's Blu Moon — but I digress. This too rich a topic not to save f a future column. Anyhow, one'varticular vis found us there at the height my junior 'high outcast: obsession, so I naturally required a visit to any (and all) Ponca-area comic book/baseball card shops. We wound up ail one whose name escapes me, but whose invisible operator will never be erased from my mind. Dave. As I, with members of my family in tow, began sifting through old issues of Teen Titans and The Zoo Crew, our rather hapless clerk met our every question with her stock answer: "Ask Dave." I swear this seemed to be the only phrase this woman could muster. "Ask Dave"!?!? Who was this Dave, and why would he know whether or not you had a new price guide any better than you would? I could just imagine this woman, who seemed to be Invisible Dave's wife, buying a car or calling to wish her mother a happy birthday, only to refer them to her spouse with her every statement. Finally, as I settled on a pair of Superman gems, we departed the Invisible Dave's store. For the rest of the day, every question we asked of Grandma was met with that same response, eliciting more and more laughs each time. It's been some time since I've been in a comic book store. At that, I haven't been back to Ponca City in several years either, since my grandparents now live in Midwest City. However, I've thought of going back, if only to track down the Shop o' Dave. Oh, I'd find him all right, and I know exactly what I'd ask him: "Man, have you got any new issues of The Flash?" Next week: more inane fun from a man who can't find his keys! •

Dating doctor doles out tips BY SARAH DAVIS Staff Writer
tudents with dating dilemmas and relationship woes were encouraged to heal their troubles at the Creative Dating workshop, "The Cure for the Common Relationship." The workshop was held Sept. 19 at Constitution Hall in the University Center. Guest speaker Judson Laipply appeared. The program has appeared at 1500 colleges nationwide and has received national exposure from The New York
S
Times, Glamour, The Washington Post, Mademoiselle and USA Today.
Students who attended the program found out options and tendencies regarding dating and relationships and what inhibits or enhances their relationships. The workshop covered about 12 topics, including the following: what impresses men and women, basic differences between men and women, the five stages of a relationship, Rohypnol the "date rape drug," five characteristics of a healthy relationship, why people repeat poor relationships and breaking up and rejection lines. The workshop was an activity intended for UCO's Stampede Week, but had to be rescheduled due to a flight delay. • Junior Brandi Douglas and senior Jeff Winchester listen to the dating doctor on Sept. 19. During the program, audience members shared their views on dating and filled out questionnaires regarding dating.

RecI ED Bear goes to State Fair
CORRECTION
I
n the Sep. 14 edition of The Vista, it was incorrectly reported that students could park in the faculty/staff (F/S) parking lots after 3 p.m. on weekdays. Students can only park in the F/S lots that are NOT 24-hour lots, said Leon Fourcade,
Staff Bear ast weekend, I braved that glorious annual event that can turn anyone into a champion mullet hunter — the State Fair of Oklahoma. I witnessed the Yanni mullet, the ultra mullet/rattail combo, the Big Silver mullet, the classic Billy Ray Cyrus mullet and many other variations on the 1986 hairstyle. If you plan to play Slug-Mullet at the fair, prepare for some massive bruises. Because this was the first weekend of the fair, the state's most enthusiastic fair fans were all present, in full fair regalia. Never have I seen so many exposed, bloated midriffs and so much acidwash denim in one place. Did you know you can buy a complete hillbilly costume at the fair, right down to the authentic polyester hunter camo lingere? I found an especially rough looking fringed leather vest, but it was a size 2 in toddlers, and that was just a smidge too big for me. Darn. Classy items for sale included Tshirts screen-printed with a cartoonish image of a bikini-clad torso, wearing a thong-tha-thongthong-thong, of course. If I saw a woman wearing such a shirt, I would surely be convinced that was her natural shape. Speaking of shape, it's a good thing this is only an annual event, because I would be a much bigger bear if I could eat fair food on a regular basis. Such culinary wonders as Cheese on a Stick, giant turkey legs (where do they find giant turkeys?) and strawberry crepes are a vital part of the State Fair Experience. If you're a carnivore, you will be thrilled with all the free samples of barbecue and beef jerkey available in the Made in Oklahoma Building. Free Stuff enthusiasts will also enjoy the credit card booths, just like those at the University Center. Plenty of organizational tables offer free literature and one even gives away yardsticks! Free cooties are available at the pseudo-petting zoo. Adorably obnoxious baby goats climb on sleeping sheep and jump as if the sheep were a trampoline. A camel, hairy chickens and a baby kangaroo wait in this tent, wishing they weren't there. Admission is free, but moist towlettes and sanitizer will cost you, as will a handful of feed. Barnes & Noble had a semitrailer with computers on the side
manager of university parking services. About 50 percent of all the F/S lots are 24-hour lots, Fourcade said. Students can park in all other F/S lots after 3 p.m. on weekdays with a valid parking permit. The Vista regrets the error. •

of it for checking e-mail. I found that pretty surreal. Pubescent singers, hoping to get discovered, strutted in red vinyl outfits and sang covers of pop country songs. Hey, wasn't Elvis discovered at the State Fair of Mississippi? Don't quote me on that. Since I paid $5 to get into the fair, I opted not to buy any ride tickets. I think I'm too short to get on the rides, anyway. I did stand staring at the Mega Drop for about 15 minutes, watching fools get dropped 135 feet, by choice. I am frightened of such machinery that is assembled and unassembled hundreds of times. I just don't trust it. But hey, if that's your thing, go for it. Cool international wares were for sale, from Peruvian sweaters to Australian leather hats. I chose to
spend my money on Nepalese handmade paper and a paper lantern. Strolling down the midway, that inescapable call haunted me. I think it was that carnie voice, saying, "Hey, Red, come here — show me what kind of bear you are." Ever notice how all carnies have the same gravelly voice? Prizes to be won at the midway games included foam-filled copyright-infringing stuffed animals, screen printed mirrors, and other bits of junk you'd never spend money on unless your manhood was at stake. The State Fair ends Oct. 1, so take about $20, some pepper spray, and your sense of humor. Remember that no matter what any carnie say s , you are still an intelligent, attractive person. Or bear. •
