Fund equity for UCO top priority

A Lion's Welcome to the Year of the Rat...

Interim vice president appeals to students, staff, faculty for support By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer A presidential brainstorm and resulting change of heart has brought a new team player to UCO. Dr. Warren Armstrong was appointed interim vice president for administration Feb. 19. Less than two weeks earlier, President George Nigh said he had decided not to appoint an interim. The decision was based on the wish to avoid his implied endorsement for the permanent position, he said. Shortly after that, Nigh reflected on UCO's unfinished construction and his pledge to have it done on his "watch." The scope of the remaining project made him reconsider doing it without a vice president for administration to assist him. Armstrong's name came to

remembered meeting Armstrong, who was then part of an accreditation team evaluating UCO. "I wonder whatever happened to Dr. Armstrong," thought Nigh. He remembered that Armstrong had planned to retire at Oklahoma's Grand Lake. The call was made. Armstrong thought about it for a week or so and called Nigh back to confirm the deal, said Nigh. When he announced Armstrong's placement, Nigh stressed that the appointment was only for three months. The search committee will continue to field candidates for the permanent spot, he said. Armstrong is former president of Eastern New Mexico State University. Wichita State University, where he still teaches history, extended to him the

Senate ballots call confidentiality into question By Mary Reinauer

Staff Writer An oversight on the ballot for the general election of UCO's faculty senators might cause some voters to question its confidentiality. Ballots were sent Feb. 19 via campus mail to teachers in the four colleges and to staff in administration, advisement and the library. Each ballot is numbered and labeled with the recipient's name and campus address. The labels can't be removed without obscuring the vote. Dr. Sam Magrill, associate professor of music and

senate parliamentarian, said the numbers are used only to validate the ballots and do not correspond to any names. Magrill is one of eight candidates up for the position of senator for the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Terry Clark, chairperson and associate professor of journalism, said he questioned both the confidentiality and the validity of the vote because voters are instructed to send completed ballots to Magrill, who will oversee the tally. "That was an oversight that the labels were where they couldn't be removed," said Magrill. Although an imperfect system, campus mail is standard for ballot distribution and return, he said.

Magrill added that it would be hard to protect unmanned boxes from being tampered with. When counted at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 27, each ballot will be read along with its number. The numbers were assigned randomly and are checked off on the tally sheet to ensure official ballots are recorded, said Magrill. "In the process of counting ballots, we are not looking at the names (on the labels). No one is keeping track of who is voting for what." He said the ballots have instructions for those who have a grievance. According to those instructions, Magrill will handle any grievances.

EDITORIAL

Senate election runs afoul of rules

et's say Clinton, or Dole or Buchanan or Forbes or another one of those faceless presidential candidates out there decides to man a ballot, just to see how he's doing and to find out who his friends and foes are. You'd raise a ruckus, wouldn't you? Well, what if a similar situation is happening right here on our campus, one involving our very own faculty senate? The faculty senate is having its elections and have sent forms of nomination to the faculty. In the noble name of confidentiality, these forms are encoded with secret numbers, all in keeping with the lofty ideal of preserving the intergrity of the respondents' identities. The trouble with these forms is that the faculty members' names are plastered right next to their "secret" codes, which makes them not so secret after all. The kicker is that one of the nominees up for elections is the one who counts the votes. Let's just say that this person, with the best of all intentions, resolves not to look, nope, not even a peek. But as he flits through the responses, his eyes may come to rest accidentally on the names (they are, after all, somewhat hard to miss). Imagine how he will feel if he comes across who he'd thought was his friend but who did not cast a vote in his favor. It may well be the deciding vote. He may say to himself,"Hfffg...I thought this guy was my buddy. Just shows how much you know someone. Well, I'm gonna strike him off my Christmas list this year." And a friendship is reduced to naught, all in the name of a democractic election that isn't very democractic after all. Nations have been leveled to the ground for less. To play the game well, one need to stick to the rules. 43

or fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are tax-deferred annuities designed to help build additional assets—money that can help make the difference between living and living well after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pretax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on federal and, in most cases, state and local income taxes right away. What's more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax-deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year.

East meets West in celebration of the Year of the Rat By Judy Simpson Staff Writer

The head and tail of a large Chinese lion bobbed like a kite to the beat of a drum through the fog-filled dance floor. A crowd of about 100 students, faculty and staff watched as the lion danced around a bowl of fruit. The colorful lion, which was operated by two men, batted its eyelashes and flapped its wide jaws as it grabbed apiece of fruit from the bowl and hurled chunks of it into the crowd. In a combined effort, the Malaysian and Chinese Student Associations

At the other end of campus in East Hall, the Japanese Student Association held a food party.

UCO squads make LSC tournament By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer Central Oklahoma women's basketball players Christy Heavin, Mary Rhodes and Mandy Carlson celebrated their birthdays by knocking off Texas A&M-Kingsville 78-77 Saturday in Hamilton Field House to clinch a spot in the Lone Star Conference Tournament. The trio combined for 52 points, led by Heavin's 19 points as the Lady Bronchos upset the then third-place team in the LSC on Carlson's short field goal with 29 seconds left. "The birthdays were a wonderful situation," said Keely. Heavin, Rhodes and Carlson each turned a year older on successive days Feb. 22-24. "(The Lady Javelinas) beat us by 25 (75-50) the first conference game and we beat them by one the second time so we've made a lot of progress." The Lady Bronchos finish sixth in the conference with a 412 record (10-16 overall) and meet third-place Eastern New Mexico in Portales, N.M. Tuesday in a first-round tournament game. UCO. led 39-36 at halftime, and the two teams traded the lead 11 times throughout the second half. The Lady Javelinas took their largest lead at 77-72 with 1:58 left in the game. The Lady Bronchos would

follow with Angela Flynn's basket and Carlson's two made free throws to draw the home team within one point at 77-76 with 46 seconds left. UCO then forced TAMUK to turn the ball over with pressure on the in-bounds pass, and Carlson gave the Lady Bronchos the lead with a three-foot jumper with 29 seconds left. The Lady Bronchos got a defensive stop to sew up the win. Rhodes had 18 points on five three-pointers and Carlson had 17 points and a team-leading eight rebounds in the victory. The Lady Bronchos finished the regular season with a 77-69 loss to Texas Woman's Sunday afternoon to make up a game that was postponed Thursday. UCO trailed only 62-60 with 5:26 to go in the game after an 11-3 run, but Texas Woman's guard Kim Woolridge scored seven of her 12 points down the stretch to give the Pioneers the road win. Heavin led the Lady Bronchos with 17 points, and Mandy Carlson a n d Christy Bailey Christy Heavin added 14 and 10

points, respectively. Rhodes, who led the LSC in three-point shots made with 63 coming into the game, had none in six attempts to end her 23-game streak of treys made. Texas Woman's was originally scheduled to play UCO in Hamilton Field House on Thursday, Feb. 22, but their bus broke down just south of Ardmore. Another bus was sent to take the players and coaches to Edmond that night, but that bus broke down too, forcing the Sunday afternoon game. In men's play, UCO closed out the season with a 109-86 loss to Texas A&M-Kingsville as six Javelina players scored in double figures. The Bronchos, who host Eastern New Mexico State Tuesday night, were led by DeWayne Rogers' 19 points while Tyrone Hopkins, LonDaryl Perry and Al Segova each added 16 as UCO finishes 8-6 in the LSC and take a 17-9 record into the LSC tournament. The Bronchos won it last season. TAMUK, who shares the conference title with East Texas State to earn a first-round tournament bye, was led by Tito Alvarez, who came off the bench for a game-high 26 points. UCO leads NCAA Division II in scoring with a 101.8 points per game average and look to lead the nation in scoring for the fifth straight season.

Men's tennis boasts depth, strength By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma men's tennis team begins the season tonight boasting its "strongest and deepest team ever," in UCO tennis coach Francis Baxter's words. "This is the strongest and deepest team that I've ever had here and maybe in the history of the school," said Baxter, entering his 26th year coaching the Bronchos. "We have eight very good players at every position and two backups and that's unusual for tennis." The team enters the season-

opening 6 p.m. contest at Oklahoma City University ranked 23rd nationally in NCAA Division II after a 7-8 campaign last spring. "We are currently (ranked) fifth in the region, and we have three of the four teams (in the Midwest Region) above us on our schedule, so we're going to find out," said Baxter. Charles Bornman, a 6-foot-4, 199-pound sophomore from Bloemfontein, South Africa, will start this season at No. 1 singles and is ranked fourth nationally. Bornman placed sixth in singles at the Division II National Championships in Boca Raton,

Ha. this past October and owns a 31-3 career singles record. Bornman teams with Junior Brown, a 6-0, 160-pound senior who starts at No. 2 singles, to form a third-ranked doubles team that won the Midwest Regional before placing third this past fall at the national tournament. Filling out the probable starting lineup for the Bronchos will be junior transfer Matt Thompson, a former AllAmerican at McLennan (Texas) Junior College, sophomore returning starter Alan Harris, freshman Bobby Armstrong and junior Steve Lynam.

Baseball team avoids sweep with 6-5 win By Jeff Packham Sports Editor After an 0-4 start the UCO baseball team rallied to pick up their first victory, a 6-5 defeat of then 24th-ranked Central Missouri State Sunday at UCO Field.

Brandon Bagwell scored from second on CMSU's shortstop Daryl Jefferies' throwing error to score the winning run for the Bronchos (1-4). Bagwell, who had reached first on an error by CMSU (3-5), went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Clint Cowan.

The Bronchos had rallied for two runs to tie the score in the bottom of the ninth off Casey Castrop (0-1). Pat Koerner's two-out two-run single plated Greg Ireton and Cowan to send the game into extra innings. Mitch Willingham picked up the win with 4 1/3 innings of

Roberson, African American history professor at UCO. McCoy was an African American inventor who received 57 patents in his lifetime. People didn't want imitations of his inventionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;they wanted "the real McCoy." Born as a Kentucky slave in 1843, McCoy's parents fled with him to Canada through the underground railroad. When McCoy was 15, his parents sent him to engineering school in Scotland to learn a trade. When he returned to North America, the best job he could find was that of a railroad fireman in the United States. He began working for the Michigan Central Railroad in the early 1870s. Locomotive lubricator While working, he observed men pouring oil on the steamdriven engines to keep them lubricated. McCoy felt there had to be a safer system, so he designed a way for the engines to lubricate themselves. In 1872, he received his first patent for the locomotive lubricator, a device that feeds oil to steam engines. A number of everyday items were invented by African Americans, said Barry Lofton, director of Multicultural Student Services at UCO, but many didn't receive recognition for their inventions. Most pre-Civil War industry was built and worked by slave labor, so they (the slaves) created methods to ease their workload, he said. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, or did he? He received credit for the invention but he first saw the original design used by a slave named Sam. According to the book 9 African American Inventors by Robert C. Hayden, mechanical industries in the South used slave labor and many of the tools used were designed by slaves. At that

time, slaves couldn't own the patents to their inventions because they were not considered U.S. citizens. Shoe-lasting machine One African American who did receive a patent was Jan E. Matzeliger. He invented the shoe-lasting machine which sews shoes together and tacks them to the soles. His invention revolutionized the shoe industry

and led to lower costs for shoe manufacturers and consumers. Gas mask An explosion in an underground tunnel of the Cleveland Waterworks trapped 30 workers in an area filled with toxic gases, smoke and debris. Rescuers were unable to get to the workers because of the gas. Someone at the scene had seen Garrett Morgan, a local

inventor, demonstrating a device which allows rescuers to breathe clean air while working around toxins and gas. Morgan was summoned to the scene with his invention. He and three volunteers entered the tunnel and rescued 32 people. Soon after, Morgan's gas masks became a regular piece of equipment at fire stations all over the country. Morgan was

also credited with inventing the three-way traffic signal.

An artist with a divine touch Take a drive past where the Alfred P. Murrah Building used to stand, go on down to 8th and Robinson and there on what used to be a blank wall is the work of UCO Professor Bob Palmer. Palmer, who teaches various art courses, was commissioned by area businesses to create a mural in remembrance of the April 19 bombing of the federal building. The 130 feet long, 30 feet high "Rethinking Michelangelo" is a rendering of God creating Adam from the Sistine Chapel. "Rethinking Michelangelo" isn't Palmer's only work in the city. In Bricktown China, one block east of The Spaghetti Warehouse, his work brings life

to the walls. Most recently, Northpark Mall commissioned Palmer for a mural that depicts what the mall will look like after renovations. The only problem with murals is that they "eat up a lot of brushes." Palmer said he enjoys working on murals and large scale projects because there is more room for details. It's sometimes harder to work on smaller projects and get the same type of detail, he said. However, Palmer doesn't just paint around town; he also teaches students at UCO about many different mediums. Palmer came to UCO in 1988, answering an advertisement in The Daily Oklahoman. Since his

arrival, he has taught photography, oil painting, mixed media and many other mediums. Next fall, Palmer will be offering a new course: "How to Make a Living as an Artist." Palmer has also created a new style of painting called the "Wrinkle Technique," which he has taught in class. Basically, it's painting on a canvas that is wrinkled, he said. This summer, Palmer will head north to Canada to display his work at the Dabrowski Conference, where the "Wrinkle Technique" will be studied for uses in art therapy. —By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

Rerouted bombing trial elicits mixed reactions at UCO 99 By Gayleen Langthorn

Staff Writer

Closed circuit television for victims' families is being discussed as an alternative to attending the bombing trial in Denver, Colo. But Marsha Kight, a former UCO student, said she felt that watching the proceedings on television would not be enough for her. Kight's daughter, Frankie Merrell, 23, was killed in the April 19 bombing, leaving behind a daughter who was two years old at the time. "I imagine if you ask any parent out there if their daughter had been maliciously murdered, would they be satisfied with that or would you want to be there?" Kight said. Dr. John George, political science professor at UCO, said he thought the closed circuit television for victims' families was a good idea, even though he is generally against the media being in the courtroom. Carl Stern, spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office, said it will be holding meetings this week to explore the possibilities. "Our appellate division is looking at what do the rules permit in regards to video transmissions from the courtroom," Stern said. Stern cited Criminal Procedure Rule 53, which prohibits broadcasting from a

It breaks my heart that after all we've been through, we're denied the right to go based on economics when there are millions of dollars here. —Marsha Kight Former UCO student who lost her 23-year-old daughter in the bombing federal courtroom as the law in question. George said there were good reasons for moving the case. "At the most basic level, you do everything you can to keep a lower court decision from being overturned." He said that would be the first thing any lawyer would raise on appeal: that the trial was held in Oklahoma and it wasn't a fair one. George said as far as he knew, there is "no constitutional right to attend a trial." Kight disagreed with the moving of the trial. "All of us feel that we want to insure that there is a fair trial, (but) I have my doubts that moving it to Denver is going to change things," she said. She offered alternatives to moving the trial proceedings, like bringing in a jury from out of state. "That's not going to happen, sometimes life's just not fair, it doesn't

seem like," Kight said. Now Kight is concentrating on finding ways to financially enable victims' families to attend the trial in Denver. Requests to the American Red Cross by the families for travel assistance have been rejected. "American Red Cross is for disaster relief in a period of crisis—I feel like we're still very much in crisis," she said. "This was not a hurricane that blew through here. This was mass murder and that needs to be taken into consideration." Nancy Retherford of the Oklahoma City Red Cross Chapter said it has organized a subgroup to coordinate the community agencies that are helping victims' families, but it won't be helping them travel to Denver. "The U.S. Attorney's Office has taken responsibility for handling those funds," Retherford said. "We will be providing the mental health support that we've been

providing all along...We expect the need for that assistance to intensify as the trial proceeds." Stern of the U.S. Attorney's Office said it is exploring a number of avenues and may use money from the Office of Victims of Crimes to finance the travel costs. "We are also looking at using a mixture of private and public funds," he said. Kight has made requests to use proceeds from the sale of Kathy Keating's book In Their Name to assist the victims' families with expenses associated with attending the trial. "The book was put into bookstores; people purchased the book with their money..." she said. Kight said she wondered why the money was raised if it wasn't going to be used to help the victims' families in their time of need. "My daughter was murdered; it was not for fund raising. "It breaks my heart that after all we've been through, we're denied the right to go based on economics when there are millions of dollars here," she said. It may not matter if funds are released for the victims' families to attend the trial. Stern said the Denver courtroom will only seat 150 people. "Hearings will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday and we will ask the judge how many seats he will reserve for family members," Stern said. Illustration by staff cartoonist Sean Ashby.

FUNDS honorary title of president emeritus after his retirement in 1993. Armstrong said he was impressed with the progress on campus and that his priority is "to enable the university to accomplish its academic mission," he said. Armstrong said he is at UCO on a consultant basis and not as a state employee. One of his biggest responsibilities is to ensure the fiscal integrity of the university, he said. Specifically, Armstrong said he wants to achieve a better balance for UCO on the appropriation scale weighed out by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE). "I want to help others in this university make their case for equity in the way funds are disbursed."

Armstrong points to the tally sheet for state appropriations per student in 1993-94. Twelve Oklahoma colleges are listed in order according to how much the state chips in. At the top is Oklahoma State University with $5,402.31. "Look down here and you see UCO," he said, as his finger rests at the bottom of the column, indicating $2,418.42 for each UCO student—a difference of 45 percent. Armstrong said he wants to find out how OSRHE decides how to cut Oklahoma's state tax pie in determining allocations. But he said he needs help in ensuring UCO students get their fair share. "I will make my best effort, (but) one person can't do this. It's a team effort," he said. Armstrong said he wants students, faculty, staff and alumni on the team and has a

strategy for each position. "As students become more educated to the fact that there isn't funding equity, they have legislators they may wish to contact." Armstrong, a member of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), has scheduled a meeting of the local chapter in March for the purpose of developing a case for equity in state funding. UCO staff can strengthen evidence of inequity by

assembling supportive data, he said. As for UCO alumni, he said, "What we're. really after is political support. That's the bottom line." Preparing the fiscal budget request is another of Armstrong's responsibilities. In the past, as university president, he had always passed that job along to the vice president. He now acknowledges that UCO's buck stops with him. When Armstrong was on the

r New Menu

accreditation team in 1992, one of the concerns then was "the size of the facility in regard to the enrollment." Now, as part of UCO's home team, he can watch the play in progress. "That's why we have a major building program," he said.
