State auditor wants Cudjoe case reopened WORLD

Officials suspend Tulsa principal after explosion TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Officials will not discuss why they suspended the principal of a high school where a pipe bomb exploded last week. John Thompson, superintendent for Tulsa Public Schools, said the suspension on Tuesday of principal James R. Sharpe was a personnel matter and declined to discuss it. Sharpe was principal at Will Rogers High, where a pipe bomb exploded Jan. 11 during the lunch hour. It broke a window but caused no injuries. Three students were suspended after the blast, and they have since been arrested. Sharpe has been principal at Rogers for two years. Before that he served as principal and assistant principal at East Central High School. He has held various teaching positions within the district since 1967.
A request has been made by State Auditor Clifton Scott to re-open the case concerning the alleged misappropriation of funds by the University of Central Oklahoma. Brenda Cudjoe claimed that, as a graduate student last spring in the College of Education, she was hired as a research
assistant but paid with UCO grant money working in a private clinic owned by three faculty members. The investigation conducted by UCO resulted in one professor being sanctioned, but additional work is needed, said Scott. Assistant Attorney General Vic B yrd said he is not satisfied, based upon what he has seen, that a thorough job was done. "I think someone with the board of regents needs to sit down with her," Byrd said in an article in the Edmond Evening

Master plan construction to begin in 2 months By Roy Howe Staff Writer A complete overhaul to the University of Central Oklahoma now has a timeline with construction beginning in two months and completion targeted at two years from this August. "They are talking about reinventing government, we are going to be reinventing the campus," said George Nigh, UCO president, to several hundred faculty and staff members last week."
The $52 million Master Plan began as a vision for Nigh this time last year and has since traveled through numerous stages of approval. Sources to fund the plan include revenue bonds, physical plant funds, money from a 1992 statewide higher education bond issue and Section 13/ New College funds which are administered by the Oklahoma State Land Commission for areas set aside for education. Also helping fund the Master Plan are two new student fees: parking and library fees which are pledged exclusively to those sources. Cost sharing with the Department of Transportation and the City of Edmond may help fund the plan as well. The Master Plan involves classroom building expansions, renovations and additional equipment. It includes parking, lighting, landscaping and safety. More than 900 parking spaces were created under the plan last August. In addition the plan calls for an expansion to the University Center, a new multi-purpose classroom and office building and the expansion of Howell Hall. "We're going to do it (renovations) cover to cover, it's not going to just be a building," Nigh said. "It's going to be from cover to cover. It will never be the same again." Nigh said that he would like to see the university operate as routinely as possible during the construction. "What we have to make sure of is that the classes continue, that the services continue, that the education continues during all of this. "
ACLU challenges new curfew law in Dade County MIAMI (AP) — Dade County is ordering young people off the streets at night in a crimefighting effort that civil libertarians fear will be selectively enforced against blacks. "This is the imposition of martial law on a targeted population ... without any accusation of wrongdoing," said Robyn Blumner, executive director of the state American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU plans to challenge the law passed by the county commission in a 10-3 vote last Tuesday. It says people younger than 17 will have to be off the streets from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight to 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday. Violators' parents can be fined up to $500. Metro-Dade Commissioner James Burke, who sponsored the ordinance and is black, acknowledged inner-city youths are the likely targets. "The people who are dying are young black men," he said.
Sun Jan. 9, 1994. "They need to look at the documents she has." Scott said Cudjoe brought him transcripts of tape-recorded phone conversations she had with Dr. Malcolm Coby, Dr. Wanda Johnson and Dr. Charolette Myles-Nixon, the faculty members involved. Scott contacted the Board of Regents and the internal auditor after he was approached by Cudjoe last summer, he said.

U.S. should legalize drugs for sake of children, society.
O
ur elected leaders of "government for the people" never seem to be in step with what we, the people, want. Nor do they understand that the reason we want it is because we know what works. We deal with it every day. They don't. Les Brown, President Clinton's chief adviser on the nation's drug control policy, said that the President and he are "unequivocally opposed" to any legalization of drugs, as suggested by U.S. Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders, recently. Appearing on NBC's "Meet The Press" S unday, Brown acknowledged that drugs and the nation's "crime problem" go hand in hand. Yet he, and others like him, such as U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, talk as though they don't understand why. It seems they can't see the forest for the tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Sure, drugs and crime go together. There are people on the streets supporting $200 a day habits, and selling drugs and stealing are the only ways they have of coping with it. If possession of currently illegal drugs were to be legal, the government would be cutting the legs out from under the enormous profit involved in drug trafficking on the black market. If there's no profit, there's little incentive to deal. The second thing that would happen is that the government would tax and oversee the production of drugs — much the same as they now do with alcohol, America's legal drug. And of course minors would certainly be prohibited from buying drugs. Then the American government could take a portion of the $10 billion a year spent on waging its "war on drugs," and use it for the rehabilitation of anyone who has a drug problem, rather than the three cents of every drug war dollar spent by the government on prevention and rehabilitation today. Legalizing drugs isn't a cure-all answer for what ails the nation. America would still have people with drug dependencies, of course, but with one less strike against them — they wouldn't be criminals because of their addiction. We need government visionaries to establish the following guidelines. Teach awareness of drugs and the dangers of abuse and addiction at the grade-school level. Increase funding for rehab centers so that people who are addicted and wish not to be can get immediate help. Legalize drugs, and guarantee uniformity in potency and safety. Then get on with the next problem.

Terri's 2 cents Column
She tugs at his lapels navigating him toward the sofa through the dim, chalky light coming in through the open windows. He surges toward her, releasing the tension from her insistent pulling on his shirt to press his lips against hers in a probing kiss punctuated by impatient gasps and assuring moans. "Did you bring it?" she demands. "Uh, no. I forgot it," he reluctantly concedes. "Then forget it!" she says as she promptly turns on the light, and one presumes, turns him off and out of the house. The ad is part of a new public service advertising campaign from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encouraging condom use to prevent the spread of AIDS. What makes this, and similar public service announcements (PSAs) currently making the rounds on radio and television, is that this is a government PSA.
That's right; the government of the United States of America, not to be outdone by the usual proponents of rubber stoppers like Act Up, Queer Nation and the redribboned hoards of celebrities who populate awards ceremonies and late-night talk shows , is trying to make it hip to stay zipped. Supporters of the campaign urge the need for such ads brecause of the risk to the public health that AIDS presents as evidenced by the fact that 200,000 Americans have now died of the AIDS virus, and they cite the success of past public health campaigns in raising public opinion against smoking and drunken driving. As can be expected, conservatives oppose the ads because they believe birth control to be a tool of promiscuity (conservative gadfly, Rush Limbaugh points out that no mention of marriage is made in this commercial). And there is no disputing the fact, that in the American mind, the lowly condom is the ultimate symbol of backseat, back-street slutting around. B ut the main problem with these ads is that, in an open society as hip and sophisticated about sex as we pretend to be, we don't need them because we live in an information culture that has taken the cause of AIDS and condom use to its heart and to the airwaves for years.
Today there is more awareness and less ignorance about the subject, but the AIDS-public-awareness blizzard has yet to overcome the cult of invincibility that young people on the make are involved in. The government's heart is in the right place with its PS As, but it needs to remember what country we're in and what the facts of life really are. Condom manufacturers have wanted for years to advertise on television. So why is it suddenly OK for government to promote condom use, but it's not deemed proper for the manufacturers to advertise their own product? The grossness quotient has already been surpassed by hemorrhoid cream and douche bottle commercials, so it is clear that the problem with condom ads has more to do with issues of "morality" and "image" than with anything else. If the makers of prophylactics are allowed to advertise, it will save the taxpayers money that will otherwise be used for the federal PSAs, and it will provide this media driven consumer society with a greater and more realistic awareness of the function and uses of the multi-faceted condom as one of many options in the control and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.

"Y" Chapel of Song houses memories of past By Janet Runge
Staff Writer
Nestled in the heart of the campus is a quiet solitary building. No classes meet within its empty room, no professors lecture within its wall, no whispering students exchange study notes. The triangular shaped building covered with peeling paint appears neglected and disused. The building is the "Y" Chapel of Song, built as a sanctuary for meditation and prayer for the students of UCO. "The history of the building is really unique," said Sue Ryan, secretary to the Dean of Students. "The chapel was built in the 40s by former students of UCO." In April 1941, the Young Women's Association passed a motion authorizing $1,500 to fund construction of the building. Shortly afterwards, the Young Men's Christian Association took similar action. Original plans for the chapel were based on a Work Projects Authority grant providing labor and some of the materials. The grant was canceled in 1942 when the government canceled all nondefense projects. It wasn't until 1948 that ground for the chapel was finally broken. Using donated funds and labor from faculty, friends and students, the chapel was completed in April 1949. Although the exterior of the chapel is worn and faded, the interior of the building reveals the hours of thought and labor that went into the building of the "Y" chapel. Vibrant-red carpeting covers the floor. Hand-carved pews with red cushions line both sides of the sanctuary. All of the furniture was made by students of the industrial arts department at UCO. The iron-lace organ grill was made by the metal work department. Tan tiles on the lower interior
walls are covered with patterns of crosses and winged halos that were applied by art students. Yet the true triumph of the chapel seems to be in the stained glass windows that adorn every wall. The windows of stained glass were designed and executed by former university art students. Songs of the "Y" and songs from daily worship services were selected and voted upon by students, then passed on to student artists. Each artist then studied the words of the songs and designed their interpretations. On the entrance doors to the chapel are two windows entitled
"Doors of Two Mothers." One window displays lightning and watery storms, representative of the refuge of God during troubled times. The other window shows stalks of wheat and sunshine, representing the bread of communion. The north and south walls carry a series of five windows each; female figures on the left, male figures on the right. The side was determined by the fact that the groom enters the sanctuary on the right to await his bride. The north panel is a complete life cycle representing infancy, childhood, marriage, maturity and immortality. The south panel represents the five fields of activity in a wellbalanced adult mal e; armed forces, civic interests, religion, intellectual accomplishments and labor. An interesting aspect of the stained glass windows is the representation of all races of mankind. The religious panel is a figure of a Native American in native attire. This panel was the first stained glass art work in Oklahoma to feature a Native American. Smaller figures of different cultures are also included in this window. The "Window Of Civic Interest," also called the "The American Window," was designed to reflect the song,_ "America The
Beautiful," by Katherine Lee Bates, and is dedicated to Dr. Richard Thatcher, the first president of Normal School. On the west wall of the chapel is the Narthex Windows; three windows that illustrate the scripture, I am the vine; ye are the branches, John 15:5. Above the altar of the chapel is around window named "The Rose Window." This window illustrates the song, "Blest Be The Tie That Binds." The wing adjoining the chapel formerly housed a choir room and study. Every year, scholarships were awarded to two young men of high character who would live in the study area and care for the chapel. Now the study has been remodeled into abride and grooms dressing rooms, and the chapel is the responsibility of the administration. Ryan is in charge of scheduling events that take place in the chapel. "It's used pretty often," she said. "Two-three times a month for weddings, memorial services or some student organization function." Although the chapel was built The Narthex Windows, three windows that illustrate the scripture by the students, for the students; ' I am the vine; ye are the branches,' were created by UCO its sheltered sanctuary now stands students.

Journalism fellowship being offered By Michelle Peller
Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma's graduate students of newspaper journalism or liberal arts majors have the opportunity to apply for the 20 Pulliam Journalism Fellowships that are being offered June 6 to Aug. 12, 1994 either for Indiana or Phoenix newspapers. The competition is open to students who have received their undergraduate degrees between August 1993 and June 1994, said Russ Pulliam, editor of the Indianapolis News. The applicants should show a commitment to newspaper journalism as a career, Pulliam said. The program consists of report-
ing, editing and writing for 10 weeks. Editors of other newspapers will come and speak to the fellows twice a week, said Pulliam. It gives "interaction with them and the fellows," he said. The fellows will have a writing coach who will work closely with them with individual and group writing sessions, said Pulliam. They give a "more detailed critique than from editors," he said. The fellows will receive a $4,000 grant, $400 a week, said Pulliam. Fellows are responsible for his or her own housing and must provide transportation, both to Indianapolis or Phoenix and during the Fellowships, he said. Along with the application, students need to send samples of their best published writings, a college transcript, a recent photograph,
three letters of recommendation and a400 to 600-word editorial on any subject, said Pulliam. The applicants may choose on the application a preference of either state to have their internship, he said. The seminar gives "credential as well as a training," he said. The program helps the fellows find jobs after the seminar, he added. "They getout of it what they put into it," said Pulliam. "It opens doors to people in the future. We think it's a great program." The deadline to apply for the Fellowship is March 1, 1994, and applicants will be notified April 1, Pulliam said. For more information, contact Russ Pulliam in Indianapolis at (317) 633-9121 or Paul Scha

The program will include learning how to be a good listener, how not to give advice, how to be congruent when listening, crisis intervention and the principles of "gentile confrontation," said Darcie Harris, development director for Contact. To sign up for the training program, attendance of at least one of the information sessions is mandatory. For those who want to be helpline volunteers, the program costs $50. For those who want to train to be better listeners, but do not want to be helpline volun-
teers, the cost is $200, said Harris. "The Contact helpline is Oklahoma City' s best kept secre t," said Harris. "I believe the helpline is a vital service for the citizens of OKC." The Contact helpline has now been in operation for 22 years in the OKC area. It is estimated that 27,000 calls were taken during 1993, said Harris. "Helpline volunteers must have open minds and must not give advice," said Harris. "People know what is best for themselves." For more information about Contact or Contact's helpline service, call Harris at 840-9396.

Surging Lady Bronchos nip WTAMU; push streak to 4 By Scott Moore Staff writer The red-hot Lady Bronchos picked up a key road win Monday night (Jan.17) nipping West Texas A&M 69-68, pushing their winning streak to four straight and landing themselves atop the Lone Star Conference standings tied with Angelo State University. Senior forward Tammy Cummings nailed a free throw with 0.8 seconds remaining to give UCO the one-point triumph. Cummings finished with 12 points and led all players with 10 total rebounds. "When I got to the line I had it in my mind that I could possibly win it for us, so I was feeling the pressure," said Cummings. "My teammates were keeping me calm, giving me confidence." The victory improves the Lady Bronchos record to 7-7 overall and 3-0 in the conference. Jan. 22 marked the showdown day as UCO traveled to San Angelo, Texas to battle with Angelo St. for sole possession of first place in the LSC (Game report in Jan. 27 edition). ASU is 9-4 and 3-0. "Right now we're playing about as well we are capable of playing," said head coach John keely. "This was an emotional win(against West Texas A&M), but I don't think there will be a letdown, because we're really excited about where we are. 3-0 (in the conference) is a heck of 2 jumpstart."
The Lady Bronchos shot 44 percent from the field, and all five UCO starters scored in double figures. UCO junior guard Kayla Bogges led all scorers with 18 points. The Lady Bronchos also hit 53.8 percent of their threepoint shots, drilling 7 11. "That's the key to our offense, good field-goal shooting," said Keely. "We're not big enough to use a power type offense, so we have to rely on good outside shooting and good shot selection. I was real pleased with our shot selection against West Texas." The streaking Lady Bronchos are 4-0 since the dismissal of star Shauna Tubbs from the team during the Christmas break. Tubbs was dismised for not returning to practice sessions after the Christmas holiday. "I support our players but we can't wait around on a player to show up when it's time to practice," said Keely. Keely said an effort was made to contact Tubbs after the holiday but she failed to return phone calls. Tubbs was averaging 20.4 points and 13.0 rebounds in UCO' s first 10 games. "We're a different type of team without Shauna," said Keely. "She was a great player and I think because of that the other players would hold back just a little, maybe wait to let Shauna take the shot instead of taking it themselves."

West Texas A and M was buffaloed by the Bronchos on Jan.17 with a final score of 86-81. The boys in bronze got off to a slow start shooting a mere 35 percent in the first half. Hitting only 1-8 from the free-throw line, they fell to a 44-30 half-time deficit. In the second, the Bronchos came charging back to take the win and move them to 2-0 in Lone Star Conference play. Led by Andre Jackson who had 19 points and 3 rebounds, the men outscored West Texas 56-37 in the second. While nailing six treys and shooting better than .500, they played amazing defense. Johnny Tyson and Eddie Bolton led the defense with eight boards each. The Bronchos also got a lift at the line hitting 73 percent in the half and from the 6-foot-3 junior guard Junie Sanders who scored 15 and pulled down 10 rebounds.

Project "She (Cudjoe) dj oe) came to me back last summer when it first became a concern," he said. After both investigations were completed, Scott's office was asked to look at the final report. An audit manager in the State Auditor and Inspector office reviewed the report and said it was good, but interviews hadn't been done so additional work was needed, Scott said. Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the College of Education, said Cudjoe had been interviewed twice with
her attorneys and a representative of the Attorney General's office was present. Byrd said an investigation by an independent party needs to done. The investigation should be "completely detached" from UCO. Scott said he wants to "get this resolved in the best interest of the University." UCO Equity Officer RickDimit said he had no knowledge of the possibility of a new investigation, and UCO President George Nigh could not be reached for comment

He explained that it is important for the student attending the university today to benefit from the Master Plan. "I want to do it all, rather than string it out over 20 years," he said. "I want to do it so that the students who are here now can enjoy it while they're here now. I don't think this should take 20 years, it's going to take two. " Regarding the period of time during the construction, Nigh told faculty and staff that cooperation
is key to keeping the university successful. "It's going to take two years of working together, understanding each other, supporting each other and encouraging each other," he said. "I hope that we concentrate on what pulls us together and not what pulls us apart. We need to be patient and understanding with each other. We need to be supportive wherever possible."

Johnson to miss all-star team due to infection with AIDS virus JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — American basketball star Magic Johnson will not be allowed to enter Indonesia as part of an all-star team because of his infection with the AIDS virus, a top immigration official said today. "I will block his visit, because of his AIDS disease," Roni Sikap Sinuraya, director general of immigration, told a news conference. He said a 1992 immigration law permits the government to deny entry to people with contagious diseases. Although Johnson is infected with the virus that causes AIDS, he has not developed symptoms of the disease. Johnson was scheduled to arrive in Jakarta on Feb. 24 along with an all-star team for three days of exhibition play at the invitation of Indonesia's basketball association. The health minister, Sujudi, said he does not oppose the visit, but the case has created a dilemma for the Indonesian government. He said Indonesia, as a member of the World Health Organization, has an obligation to treat AIDS victims in a humanitarian way.
Choctaw farmer announces intent to run for govenor of Oklahoma OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A Choctaw farmer, who vows to put families first, has announced his intentions to run for governor of Oklahoma. Jerry Kobyluk made the announcement Wednesday, "The issue in the 1994 race for governor will be who best understands where we are and why, where we must go and how, and who is willing to find answers and then get the job done," Kobyluk, 40, said. "I believe we need a brand new commitment of honesty in government and its elected officials." A Republican, Kobyluk predicted a long and difficult campaign but said he is confident of victory "because the people of Oklahoma do not want the same old tired political leadership." Top priority would go for "jobs, long-lasting jobs, that utilize our state's God-given natural resources, oil and gas, agriculture, the horse industry, educational opportunities for people, and jobs for our young people who want to stay in Oklahoma," Kobyluk said. He said he is promoting a "family first" philosophy for all of state government, which "translates into streamlining bureaucracy and making services more user-friendly for families."
Police arrest parents for neglect after leaving children home alone CHICAGO (AP) — Behind the white lace curtains of a tidy South Side graystone, police found three children alone with nothing but potato flakes, ketchup and salad dressing in the refrigerator. Police said the parents had walked out of the apartment on Saturday. A clerk at the corner grocery caught the youngsters — ages 4, 5 and 6 — shoplifting doughnuts Tuesday but didn't report them. It was not until Wednesday that police, acting on a call from a neighbor, found them. Sandra Brandon, 26, and Elvie Holmes, 27, were arrested when they returned home later that day. They were charged with child neglect and could get up to a year in prison. Derrell Brandon, 6, Kristen Brandon, 4, and Myeshia Holmes, 5, were placed in state custody, dirty but healthy, Capt. Ben Weyforth said. Ms. Brandon denied neglecting her children and said she would fight child-welfare authorities' plans to put them in a foster home. "It's not like I don't care for my children," she said, wearing a marijuana-leaf sweatshirt under a down jacket as she paced the spartan dining room of her sweltering apartment. She said she had been "under some pressure." The unemployed woman said that she left on Saturday after Holmes became abusive and that she thought he would care for the children. Ms. Brandon said she was only two blocks away and had called the children several times. Holmes remained in jail.

UCO's Wild Campus: In search of Oklahoma's wild College Senior By Joe Umbarger
Column
Managing Editor (Continued from last issue) Two-point thinks he has spotted a small herd of College Seniors in the distance, and we race over the campus to intercept them. However, as we get near we see that they are really Juniors. It is difficult to distinguish College Juniors from College Seniors. They look almost identical. But, although they share the characteristics of slightly pointed heads and broad, flat feet, Juniors are a different species, and not suitable for our purposes. The only other natural wildlife we find on the campus are Study Bugs. A long line of them head toward their lair called the Center. So single-minded of purpose are the Study Bugs they pay little attention to their surroundings, and thus fall easy prey to the Faculty Lizards lurking nearby, who find the Study Bugs an irresistible and delicious treat. Just as we are about to abandon our search for the day, Two-point and I run across a small tribe of native Freshmen, dressed in their primitive garb and bizarre hair and face paint. Their leader tells Two-point that they
have seen many College Seniors as recently as yesterday evening at a watering hole in an area known as Wolftrap, which is not far from our present location. We thank the primitive tribesmen, and part company with them. Two-point is disturbed by the Freshmen's report. He tells me that, although Freshmen do not eat the meat, they will often hunt College Seniors just for the sport of it. On the verge of extinction as the College Senior is, this is, indeed, alarming
news. Two-point says the Wolftrap area is only a few minutes travel to the southwest, but I point out something to the east — several Financial Aid Vultures circling high above the plain. Financial Aid Vultures differ from other carrion eating birds in two respects: they are much more powerful than most, and they don't always wait for their victims to drop before they attack. We decide to check it out.

Students need to take steps to avoid eye strain, doctor says By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer
Classes have begun and reading material will be assigned. As a result, many students may develop eye strain. "College students tend to be rather hard on their eyes," said Dr. Stanley Pearle, optometrist and founder of Pearle Vision, Inc. "Long hours studying and late nights often take their toll, even on the most physically fit." Students who study late at night should take certain precautions to prevent stress on their eyes. One step to relieving eye strain is reading by a good, bright light. The bulb should be at least 75 watts, Pearl said in his "Ask Dr. Pearle" column. Students should also keep their reading material at least 16 inches away from their eyes, which is generally the distance from the eyes to the hand when the elbow is at a 90 degree angle, Pearle said. Pearle also recommended taking frequent breaks and looking into the distance to reduce stress on the eyes. For students who work on a computer for several hours a day,
Pearle recommended wearing special glasses prescribed by an optometrist that will relieve eyestrain caused by video display terminals. Students should have their glasses coated with ultraviolet and anti-reflective coatings. Pearle also recommended using a screen that fits over the computer monitor to reduce glare and eye strain. Pearle does not recommend using over-the-counter eye drops to treat bloodshot eyes because these drops only hide the problem and can sometimes make it worse. He recommended using over-thecounter artificial tears or lubricants. Pearle also said a person should remove contacts when they begin to feel tired, so they will not fall asleep wearing the contacts. If this does happen, a person should flood their eyes with saline solution and make sure the lens can move before attempting to remove the contacts, he said. A person should use artificial tears or saline after removing the contacts. The contacts should not be worn again until the person's eyes have recovered, Pearle said. Annual eye exams are critical so any vision changes can be detected, he said.

Noted author speaks on self-improvement at UCO By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer
Dr. Stephen R. Covey, an internationally acclaimed author and speaker, hosted a "sold-out," two part self improvement seminar on Jan. 19. During the morning session of the seminar, "First Things First," Covey discussed his books "Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People" and "Principle Centered Leadership." The books are based on Covey's techniques for increasing motivation and building self esteem, said Heidi Nakonezny of the University of Central Oklahoma Underwriters. For the afternoon session of the seminar titled "Total Quality Management," Covey discussed new management techniques and better ways to motivate people in business. "Quality is in the balance, and balance is in the system," said Covey. Financial accounting is incomplete when looking at the efficiency and effectiveness of a person, family or business.

Placement offers disc resume package for students By Jimmy Hyde
Staff Writer
Last semester the University of Central Oklahoma Career Development and Placement Services implemented a program to help students and potential employers meet. For a $10 fee, the student can go to the placement office at the University Center Room 312 and pick up a disc resume package. The cost is $20 for alums. Included in the package is a computer disc and information about campus interviews and resume referrals. The disc has two parts. The first contains demographics, name, G.P.A., major and what the student wants to do. The second part of the disc is for creating a resume. "With this disc, we can have a copy of your resume on hand and match your qualifications with an employer and mail or fax it to them that day," said Kathryn Greenlee director of Career Development and Placement Services
at UCO. Before the new program, the placement office just filed the information away and hoped a student answered the request for employment. Now the office has easy access to information and a data base to put the student and employer together. "I got the idea to do this, because I knew we needed to move into the twentieth century as a placement office," said Greenlee. Greenlee estimated that 200 discs have been registered, but only about 40 have been returned. "I can't stress how important this is, it is never too early to start this. We can match your qualifications with employers," said Greenlee. "This makes us competitive with other universities, and as a placement office, we are here to serve all majors," said Greenlee. "This is a golden opportunity, and I hope students take advantage of it. With minimal effort and employee calling, you are ahead of the game," said Greenlee.
