Behold Miss UCO...
Enrollment slides UCO's enrollment declines in two consecutive years By Rob Gallavan Staff Writer The Oklahoma economy might be one of the reasons UCO's enrollment has dropped in the past two years. A nationwide survey conducted by the American Council on Education (ACE) stated that a good economy and fewer students of traditional college age contributed to the declining enrollment at nationwide colleges and universities. "When the economy is good, the enrollment drops," said Jerry Legere, registrar and assistant vice president for enrollment management. "When the

economy is bad, it rises. Oklahoma has a good economy this year." UCO suffered a 4.4 percent drop in enrollment from Fall 1994 and Fall 1995, said Laura Tyree of the Institutional Research and Planning Office. The enrollment for Fall 1994 reached 16,039 compared to Fall 1995's enrollment of 15,334. That drop continued through Spring 1996 with enrollment peaking at 14,513. However, international student enrollment has been rising the past two spring semesters, said Legere. International student enrollment rose from 1,285 last
spring to 1,367 this spring. Legere said the reason for the international student increase might be due to UCO's reputation outside the country. "A lot of international students hear about UCO by word of mouth," he said. "We're very multicultural." The ACE survey revealed that Oklahoma suffered a 0.2 percent drop in enrollment Âśrom Fall 1994 to Fall 1995. Despite the current numbers, the U.S. Department of Education is predicting that enrollment will rise slightly this year.
Student nabbed for extortion By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer "Do you remember what happened downtown?! You can't stop the wrath of God!" Those words, uttered by a man - in the UCO student accounts office, led to his arrest one week after the incident. Kary D. Pace was arrested Jan. 31 for attempted extortion. The UCO and Warr Acres police arrested Pace at his home in Oklahoma City and transported him to the Oklahoma County Jail. At approximately 8 a.m. Jan. 24, the "irate" 38year-old student threatened the accounts office personnel, said Ted Jones, assistant chief of UCO police. Pace was upset with the instruction he was
receiving in three of his classes and wanted to drop them and add another class, said Drew Duke, UCO burser. Pace wanted a full refund on the classes he wanted to drop, but the deadline for full refunds had been the previous week, said Duke. When accounts personnel told him that was impossible, Pace began making threats that personnel took as references to the April 19 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building. "I felt like it was a personal threat and I asked him if it was. At that point he had the opportunity to recant on it and he didn't," said Duke. Jones explained that Pace was charged with extortion because he was trying to get money from the university by means of making a threat. V See THREAT, Page 3

hat's to stop a professor from having sex with his or her students?
Well, saying no in the first place usually helps. But what if the relationship is between two consenting adults? Now that becomes interesting. A consensual relationship between a professor and a student, even if both of them are adults, is hardly equal. Putting sex in the equation renders the equation null and void. It's more like a power play between one who's game for extracurricular activities and another who'd like to earn some extra credit. No guesses needed as to who wields the clout (or the grade book) in this relationship. Doctors swear by the Hippocratic Oath, attorneys observe this unspoken law about not mixing business with pleasure...what code of ethics then do professors uphold themselves to? By inulging in flings with their students, they're betraying the unconditional trust that students have entrusted to them. They are keepers of the students' faith—don't rob them of their religion. It's time we have an active Ethics Committee on campus to watch and censure any professor who chooses to deviate from his or her sacred calling—to educate. That's not to say a swift whack over the knuckles and sending them to their clasrooms without chalk ought to do it—it doesn't. We need action that is harsh enough to deter or at least discourage such aberrant behavior. To those who have a penchant for sweeping things under the carpet and pretending the problem does not exist, here's a radical thought: try a vacuum cleaner instead. Suck up all that dirt and grime and blow it out in the open. We like it better that way.

Student questions the tolerance of marijuana One of the few safest qualities of THC, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, the primary psychoactive substance in marijuana, is the natural limit the body places on the drug's effects. It has long puzzled scientists how most individuals can consume enormous quantities of of marijuana with few or no obvious ill effects. Early researchers were alarmed by this, believing that this tolerance was a warning sign of dependance or addiction. Tolerance generally describes the condition of requiring larger doses of a drug to obtain consistent effects. While tolerance to marijuana has never fit the classic definition, some form of tolerance to pot does develop. Regular users of
marijuana claim that this tolerances reduces troublesome side effects, such as loss of coordination. They also claim that tolerance to marijuana develops without risk of dependence. Cynics have argued that tolerance to marijuana is proof that the drug is too dangerous to be used safely and responsibly. Scientists argue that they have proven otherwise. They believe that tolerance to marijuana is not an indication of danger or dependence. Drugs of abuse such as heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, alcohol and nicotine affect the production of dopamine, an important transmitter which chemically activates "switches" in the brain that produce extremely pleasurable feelings.
Dr. Miles Herkenham of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and his research teams have made discoveries behind these findings. Now Herkenham and his associates have proven that marijuana has no direct effect on dopamine production in the striatum, and that most of the drug's effects occur in the reletively "new" region of the brain, the frontal cerebral cortex. According to Herkenham, there is now biological evidence that far from being the gateway to abusive drugs, marijuana is instead the other way to get high, the safe way. —Mark Hanby

UCO to serve as hub site for new communication system
A
new addition to the OneNet communication system that will affect UCO directly was a topic of discussion at the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Jan. 26. OneNet has been active at UCO since 1992 through the talkback data network. The university will be a hub site for a new telecommunication system. The system will link participating colleges and universities in the state through a video link-up. Classes can be broadcast from one college to another and information from different libraries can be shared as well, said Dr. Albert Lynd, associate vice president for academic affairs "If a course is needed and we offer it and it needs to be delivered down in Weatherford or Cameron (University) or Elk City or wherever, then through the OneNet we can deliver it," said Lynd. The new ,OneNet system will be installed at the Greater Oklahoma City Higher Education Consortium. The consortium allows people who work or live in the downtown area a chance to receive credit from higher education institutions, including UCO. UCO doesn't have the video connection for the network but it is scheduled to be installed by June, said Maithreyi Manoharan, director of the computer center. The system is scheduled to go on-line in August with hub sites located at the University Center at Tulsa, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Northern Oklahoma College, Cameron University, Southwestern Oklahoma State University and the Enid Higher Education Center, said JoAnn Hudson, telecommunications specialist at the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

Jones said people often get upset about tuition, but "they all don't make bomb threats or attempt extortion. "The investigation went well and we feel it will be successful in court," Jones said. Pace was arraigned Feb. 2 and bail was set at $10,000. A
preliminary hearing will take place next and Pace will have the right to a jury trial. Jones said that although it was a week between the inital incident and Pace's arrest, the warrant had actually been processed quickly. The district attorney's office is so overwhelmed with warrant
requests that it often takes several days more to process one than it did in Pace's case. Jones said he felt this was a "serious incident" and he followed up with the district attorney to speed up the process. Despite an article in the Jan. 31 issue of The Daily Oklahoman, Pace did not know
that he had been charged with extortion. "He thought we were there to arrest him because he hadn't paid his tuition," Jones said. Jones added that the campus police does not arrest people for unpaid tuition.

UCO to stake claim on more state funds By Gayleen Langthorn
Staff Writer Professors are trying to do their part to alleviate UCO's financial woes. The UCO chapter of American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is currently discussing plans to request more funding for UCO from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. "AAUP is committed to bring to the attention of the legislature and the regents that UCO needs more funding," said James Bidlack, president of the UCO chapter of the AAUP. The AAUP plans to do this by talking informally to higher
Defensive Arts,
regents about how the university is underfunded. "(UCO) students pay more as a percentage than almost any other university in Oklahoma," said Bidlack. Tuition and fees account for 42 percent of UCO's operating expenses, said Laura Tyree, research analyst for the office of institutional research and planning at UCO. The average for operating expenses paid by tuition and fees is approximately 27 percent throughout the entire state system, said Dr. Tom Guild, state president of the AAUP. The state chapter of the AAUP is also working to increase funding for higher
education. Guild recently met with the chairpersons of the education subcommitees of both the State House of Representatives and the Senate. "We Aced about funding for higher education. They (the House and Senate) are both supportive of a $90 million increase in funding for higher education," Guild said. If the intended legislation passes, tuition would remain unaffected, but it could mean a 4.3 percent increase in salaries for faculty members at UCO. The increase would be mandated by law and could not be altered by administrative officials, said Guild. Executive assistant to the
president, Mike Shirley said, "I'm confident that the president will welcome anyone's attempt to bring to the attention of the regents and legislature that UCO needs more funding. "As president of the university, he will make clear the need for increased funding." Shirley also said that "if the state appropriates more money to the university and if enrollment stays constant, then students' share of cost would go down." Students who wish to participate in the effort can call their state legislators at 5212711 for house representatives or 524-0126 for senators.

Lady Bronchos struggle to lose their fifth straight By Jeff Packham
Sports Writer The Lady Bronchos continued their shooting problems by hitting only 36-percent from the field in losing to Eastern New Mexico, 67-58, at Hamilton Field House Saturday. UCO came into the game shooting only 41-percent from the field and the shots didn't fall against the Zias. The Lady Bronchos were flat in the first half, shooting only 30-percent compared to 50percent by the Zias. UCO took a 2-0 lead on a layin by Angela Flynn for the Lady Bronchos' only lead of the game. The game was tied at four, but it was all ENMU after that. The Zias were ignited by a three-pointer from Nicole Maxfield that eventually led to a 10-4 lead with 17:31 left in the first half. UCO stayed within ten points of ENMU and were down only 30-23 after a Shama Lott threepointer with 3:46 left in the half. However, the Zias scored the last nine points of the half to open the game up. The result was a 39-23 lead for ENMU. The Zias used a jumper by Wende Fraze to increase the lead to 59-41 with 7:36 left in the game. UCO then made a run, scoring the next seven points to cut the
lead to 59-48 with 5:04 remaining. However, ENMU scored eight consecutive points to ice the game, grabbing a 67-48 lead with 2:32 left in the contest. UCO scored the last ten points of the game, but the rally fell short. Flynn was a bright spot in the game for the Lady Bronchos (812, 3-9), who lost their fifth straight game. Flynn hit seven of ten shots en route to 15 points to go along with 12 rebounds and three assists. The other four starters combined for 10 of 38 (26%) shooting, including 4 for 19 (22%) by guards Mary Rhodes and Christy Bailey. Mandy Carlson scored 13 points and Christy Heavin had eight points and eight rebounds for UCO. The Zias (9-10, 6-4), who swept the season series, were led by Fraze's 18 points. Tabithe Shewmake scored 12 points and Leigh Dalluge added 11 points and a team-high six rebounds for ENMU. UCO, who came into the game averaging 21 turnovers a contest, committed only 14 against ENMU, just two days after turning it over 29 times in a 40-point loss to eighth-ranked West Texas A&M, 100-60. In a game that was decidedly over at half-time, as evidenced
by a 59-28 deficit for the Lady Bronchos, UCO had 19 turnovers in the first 20 minutes. For the game UCO combined their 29 turnovers with 43percent field-goal shooting, including justt 33-percent threepoint shooting. WTAMU (18-1, 9-1) helped themselves by hitting 51-percent from the field, including 59percent in the first half.. The Lady Buffs also nailed 16 of 27 (59%) three-point shots, setting a Lone Star Conference record for three-pointers in a game. Rhodes had 12 points, Bailey scored 10 points and Flynn added 10 rebounds and eight points for the Lady Bronchos, who lost a 112-57 decision to WTAMU earlier in the season. Lori DeShields poured in 23 points, Stephanie CotterWilliams added 21 points, Natasha Taylor scored 19 points and Paulita Murrell hauled in a game-high 12 rebounds for the Lady Buffs. The contest was a home-coming of sorts for Murrell, who was originally from Oklahoma City. The Lady Bronchos stray away from conference play tonight when they host in-state rival Cameron at 6 p.m. The UCO men follow with a game against Cameron to start approximately 8 p.m. The Ladies then go on the road to take on Midwestern State Feb. 10. 4D
UCO men split road games, stay in the conference hunt By Richard Tortorelli
Sports Writer PORTALES, N.M. — Tyshon Fisher scored 16 of his careerhigh 29 points in the final 10 minutes of the game as UCO defeated Eastern New Mexico 92-85 Saturday. Fisher, a senior swingman from Macon, Ga., also grabbed a career-high 11 rebounds. Fisher previously scored 29 points vs.
Broncho Bits Wrestling The UCO wrestling squad pulled out a 40-3 domination of New Mexico, despite two of the Bronchos' top wrestlers not making the trip. UCO, 8-5 and ranked number-one in Division H, did not bring All-American's Keith Kizarr at 118-pounds or 142-pound division wrestler Jerry Best. The Bronchos' only loss in the lopsided match against the Division I Lobos was a decision in the 190-pound division. UCO countered with four pins in the match. The Bronchos next wrestle Friday, February 9, at Hamilton Fieldhouse against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.
Men's Basketball The Bronchos host in-state rival Cameron tonight at approximately 8 p.m. in a non-conference game. Cameron (1010) defeated UCO in Lawton earlier in the season, 114-97, giving the Bronchos their first loss of the season and one of only three non-conference losses this season. The Bronchos are led by Tyrone Hopkins, DeWayne Rogers and Scott Sanders. Hopkins, who has seven double-doubles this season, leads the team in scoring with 23,3 points a game. Rogers is averaging 17.1 points and Sanders adds 15.1 points per contest for UCO. The 13ronchos, who are 6-5 in the Lone Star Conference, are in fifth place with three games remaining. They need only one more win to clinch a spot in the conference tournament, which fields only the, top six teams.
Women's Basketball UCO play outside of the conference tonight at 6 p.m. when they attempt to sweep the season series from Cameron. The Lady 13ronchos won earlier over Cameron, 74-6g, in Lawton, with Kelly Seikel scoring a season-high 23 points. UCO is 3-9 in the LSC and are currently seventh in the conference.

UCO's first black professor recalls the past By Judy Simpson Staff Writer During the '40s and '50s in Oklahoma, there were separate facilities and schools for blacks and whites. "I remember when we sat in the back of the bus," said Dr. Paul R. Lehman, professor of English at UCO. In 1971, Lehman became the first African American teacher at UCO. He was also the first African American television news anchor in Oklahoma, with KWTV-9. With the trained and polished voice of an anchor, he reflected back on a time in Oklahoma history when segregation was a way of life. Lehman grew up in a time when there were only two boxes to check under race: black or white. "You were either one or the other," he said. "There were no boxes for Asian or Native American because they were considered white." African Americans had difficulties advancing at that time not because of their culture but because of socio-economics, said Lehman. They were not allowed to buy real-estate north of 8th Street in Oklahoma City, he said. "We lived in small pockets in the city designated for the colored." The educator doesn't look back at those times as a negative experience for African Americans; rather, he views them as a challenge. Lehman was born in Louisiana but was raised in Wichita, Kan. and Oklahoma City. He came from a long line of teachers and Lutheran ministers who placed strong values on education. In his family, it wasn't a question of if one goes to college, it was a question of when.
Christians on Campus'
Bible Study will be held Thursdays at 12:30 in the University Center, 4th floor, Osage Room.
Four of his five siblings have received college degrees and two have doctorates. Lehman joined the Navy and traveled extensively throughout the world, including Japan, China, Europe and Alaska. He moved back to Oklahoma and graduated from Central State College in 1969 with a double major in English and speech. Lehman said there were few African American students on the campus at that time. "I was in class for two weeks before anyone would sit next to me."
You were either one or the other (black or white). There were no boxes for Asian or Native American... they were considered white. —

In many of his classes, the texts didn't reflect minority perspectives, he said. Occasionally, his professors asked him to add a minority view to the topic of discussion even though they didn't always agree with what he said.
Lehman returned to Lehman t h e classroom to teach literature in 1988. "I felt I could make more of a contribution in the classroom," he said. He is listed in Who's Who Among Black

Americans, Who's Who in American Education and Who's Who Among American Teachers. Lehman said teaching is rewarding and challenging. He tries to give his students a multiculural view of the contributions of minorities. One of his goals as an educator is to give the complete picture of education, he said. Lehman has moved beyond a pocket in the metro and the back of a bus to educate others about the contributions of African Americans.
