The Student Voice Since 1903
Student workers may get higher minimum wages By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
Six hundred and fifty UCO student workers stand to get a real Valentine's Day present this year. A motion before the Oklahoma House of Representatives would raise the minimum wage scale to $5 an hour, said the bill's author, Rep. Opio Toure, D-Okla. County, District 99. The bill will be voted on either Feb. 14 or 21 and has met no visible opposition from legislators, he said. - The wage increase would be the first in eight to 10 years, said Toure, when it went from $3.75 to the present $4.25, an increase of 56.5 percent. In contrast, tuition has increased from $15.30 a semester hour in 1985 to the
present $43, said Laura Tyree, UCO institutional research analyst. This indicates an increase of 281 percent. Blanche Washington, personnel services director, said almost all students employed by UCO make $4.25 an hour. Toure said the increase would improve the standard of living for "the working poor" and boost chances that they have the basic necessities. Although it's not his ultimate goal, Toure said long term tax gains are a likely bonus. He cited the situation of a family with two children and two minimum wage earners. Such limited income limits child care options. The raise would _help them afford better child care, he said. "I don't see anybody taking any exotic trips on $5 per hour. It's still a tight squeeze, but it's better," he said.

UCO seeks replacement for vice president By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
A top administrative position which oversees all matters relating to UCO's administrative and financial management was
recently vacated and a search has begun to fill the position. President George Nigh has named a selection committee of 11 people who will recommend candidates for the position of vice president for administration. Nigh will then select one
candidate, who will be approved by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges (BOROC). The only written policy for this process comes from the board of regents and it states that the president "is required to make recommendations to the
Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges on the employment of faculty personnel, administrative personnel at the vice presidential level." "When I became president three and a half years ago, I said publicly that I believe in the
community involvement. I believe in the committee process..." said Nigh. He said he has always taken the recommendations of the committee. Concerns have been voiced by V See SELECTION, Page 4

ave you ever seen a chicken running around with its head chopped off? It isn't a pretty sight. It plunges into a flurry of squawking activity for a few moments before it surrenders its decapitated soul to bird heaven. UCO can be likened to that poor headless chicken, for it's a fowl thing recent changes in administrative levels have thrust upon of us: Two (out of four) of our vice presidents have gone home to roost, and now that President Nigh is also flying the coop, what's to become of this bird cage we call school? A selection committee has been put together to screen candidates for the position of vice president for administration. Because the committee is not confined to a deadline, it can take as long as six months to six years for it to appoint a worthy peer to the coveted seat. And say, whatever became of the VP position for community relations/development? Apparently, it's not important enough to warrant a search for someone to fill it. We understand that sole authority lies upon the shoulders of Nigh, but crucial decisions such as these that conveniently leave the faculty senate out in the cold will serve only to undermine the relationship between the administration and the faculty (remember what happened to the "20 to make" rule the administration tried to implement without paying heed to student voices first?) Mind you, we're not telling those in the upper echelons of administration how to do their job, but it helps to confer with those who would be directly affected by its policies before dropping the bombshell on them, just so as to gain a new perspective on things. Who knows, you may well become friends.

Professor says 'try something else'
T
hanks for your headline story by Gayleen Langthorn, The War on Drugs, Jan. 25. One statement needs clarification and two deserve comment. First, possession of marijuana "for personal use" is called a misdemeanor in the Netherlands, but this is less serious than a misdemeanor in the U.S. and is similar to a violation such as running a stop sign or going 10 mph above the speed limit here. Second, the much-appreciated director of our health center, Ms. Wallenmeyer, expressed doubt as to the existence of "casual" drug users. Although such people are probably minority among users,
they do exist. The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) stated years ago that there are even casual heroin users—people who use on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, etc. (Strange, huh?) They even have a name: Bashers or Chippers. The majority of heroin users are, however, hooked, as are even higher percentage of cigarette smokers. Unfortunately, cigarettes are even harder to quit. Third, as to the surmise that the number of users would rise if drugs were legal, treated as we treat alcohol, and sold by the state at low prices (thereby virtually eliminating illegal dealers), this seems not to have
been the case in the 10 states where marijuana has been decriminalized. These states contain, incidentally, over 1/3 of the U.S. population. Our present policy has never even come close to working. It aids crime, both organized and not so well organized, provides untold opportunities for corruption in law enforcement, and contributes greatly to street violence and the spread of AIDS. Isn't it time to try something else? Think about it. —John George professor of political science and sociology
Student promotes Broncho athletics
T
his weekend, above all weekends, the UCO athletic department needs the support of the student body. With the winter sport season winding down, both UCO's wrestling and men's basketball teams will be hosting pivotal matchups. The action starts on Friday as the four-time defending national champions and top-ranked Broncho wrestlers take on thier feircest rival, No. 3-ranked Nebraska-Omaha. This in
annually one of the finest college wrestling duals in the nation, and the Bronchos will no doubt needa hearty home crowd to back them. On Saturday, the high-flying Bronchos will tackle the leagueleading Lions from East Texas State. UCO is the highestscoring -team in the nation and the good guys will be playing for a home-court berthin the first round of post-season play, so ther's plenty on the line. As always, admission is free
to all UCO students and faculty with a valid UCO ID card. If you need a ticket for family or friends that don't attend UCO, please call me at the UCO athletic department at Ext. 2142, and I'll be glad to accomodate you. Please set aside just one weekend for Broncho athletics. Be a part of our success; we need you in the stands. —Stan Wagnon UCO graduate student

faculty over the process of choosing the selection committee. "It's the president's prerogative to appoint a committee," Nigh said. There is no written policy regarding the selection of the committee. Dr. Gregory Scott, assistant professor of political science, commented on the advantages and disadvantages of the lack of a written policy. "A written policy protects the policymakers from charges that they have conducted the procedure unfairly: The advantage of a lack of written policies is that it gives the policymakers a lot of leeway to find the best candidate without being encumbered by rules and regulations," Scott said. Nigh said, "I just reach out across the campus and appoint people and try to take into consideration the job for which it is and appoint them...you try to pick representatives." He said the committee was larger than usual job selection committees because he was
trying to be more inclusive. "I appointed an unusually large number of faculty members even though that's not their area," he said. Nigh noted that two of the committee members are former presidents of the faculty senate. Two of the committee members are not employed by UCO. Alvin Alcorn is a retired vice president for administration from UCO and Steve Kreidler is the executive director of the Edmond Economic Development Authority. Nigh said he doesn't tell the committee who he wants for the position. "I've not seen the list, I've no idea who applied other than rumors," he said. "I have complete confidence in the committee selection process and my intent is to hire from those recommended by the committee," Nigh said. However, he is not required to follow its recommendations. "I would reserve the right to do whatever I thought was appropriate at the time, but that's my policy...
"I wouldn't give up the right-I don't think it would be fair to me or to future presidents if you just gave up the right and had no voice in it if you wanted it," Nigh said. In the interim period, Nigh has personally assumed all the responsibilities of the administrative vice president. "We'll hire someone soon, as soon as we find someone who is

No faculty senate representation in Nigh's selection committee By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer
It's not who's on the committee to select UCO's new vice president for administration , that alarms the faculty senateit's who isn't. President George Nigh's hand-picked team for selecting the second highest ranking administrator at UCO has no faculty senate representation, said Dr. Stephen Law, chairperson and associate professor of humanities. Nigh announced the eightman, three-woman search committee Jan 31. "All other official university standing committees have (faculty senate) representation. "It seems rather capricious to include faculty senate •
sometimes, but not others," said Law. Nigh defended the omission by saying the faculty senate was not the only representative body on campus who won't contribute to the hunt. "They're not the only ones that feel like they should've been on the committee...I'm sorry that they feel excluded, but that's the way life is," said Nigh. Law said, "The faculty senate is the representative body of the faculty, staff and administratiOn of the university." As the representative of most of the employees of the university, the faculty senate should have an active role in the selection of the vice president, he said. "There are no guidelines in our faculty handbook or in the regents' manual for picking a

vice president," he said. In contrast, Law said the selection process for deans (one step down) is very well-defined. "It includes input from the people who will be most influenced by the decision— those who work under them." A faculty senate resolution to grant them representation on any search committee has been submitted to Nigh. Nigh said he doesn't want to appoint an interim vice president for fear people might mistake this for an endorsement for the permanent position. He said the existing administrative staff is adequate until the position is filled.

UCO back to conference play By Jeff Packham Sports Editor The UCO basketball teams are going in different directions, but both have reason to improve their play. The Broncho men's team (158, 6-5) is currently tied for fourth in the Lone Star Conference. They face seventh-place Tarleton State (10-13, 3-9) tonight at 7 p.m. at Hamilton Field House, then host first-place East Texas State (18-4, 10-2) Saturday at 7 p.m. The Bronchos have won three straight and six of seven, including four of their last five conference games. UCO is coming off two non-conference victories over Cameron and Midwestern State this past week. Tyrone Hopkins continues to lead the Bronchos in scoring and rebounding, scoring at a 23.9 points a game clip and adding 8.4 rebounds a contest. He leads the LSC in scoring and is tied for fourth in rebounding. The Bronchos are far from a one-man team, however. DeWayne Rogers, who leads the LSC in field goal percentage at

65 percent, contributes 16.4 points and eight rebounds per game. Scott Sanders hits for 15.2 points a game and Tyshon Fisher adds 14.7 points per outing. Tarleton State lost the first game against UCO, 100-93, a game that snapped a four-game Bronchos losing skid. The Texans are coming a last-second one-point victory over thirdplace West Texas A&M that stopped a nine-game losing streak. "They are very athletic, have good balance and they shoot the ball well," UCO head coach Jim Seward said. " The win Saturday night (over West Texas) put them back in the right frame of mind.
Tarleton is using that to gain some confidence." TSU is led by guard Chris Givens, who averages 20.6 points a game. Givens, who led the Texans with 23 points in their win over WTAMU, scored 22 points in the losing effort against UCO. The Bronchos expect a tough game from East Texas State, who made a school-record 17 three-point shots in a 97-91 win over UCO earlier this season. East Texas has won 11 of the last 12 games and lead Texas A&MKingsville by a half-game. "East Texas is experienced and they've shot well," coach Seward said. "They've made teams play their tempo, and, obviously, we'd like to speed them up." ETSU is led by Jason Hall, who is second in the conference with a 22.4 scoring average and he also averages 6.8 rebounds per game. The Lady Bronchos finish their road trip with two games. against TSU and ETSU this week. Seventh-place UCO (9-13, 3-9) open with the fifth-place Texanns (9-13, 6-8) Thursday, hoping to avenge an 83-78 loss

at home earlier this year. The Lady Bronchos finish up this season's road schedule with the ninth-place Lady Lions (6-16, 112) Saturday. UCO beat ETSU 88-79 in the first meeting. Mandy Carlson is one of five Lady Bronchos scoring in double figures. She leads UCO in scoring with 13 points a game. Mary Rhodes, who leads the LSC in three-pointers with 54, adds 12 points per game. Christy Heavin, Angela Flynn and Kelly Seikel come in with scoring averages of 10.7, 10.1 and 10, respectively, for UCO.
Milestones for the UCO basketball squads include Hopkins, Flynn and Rhodes. Hopkins is currently 16th in single-season scoring for the Bronchos and also needs just 29 attempts and 31 made free throws to break William Cotton's single-season records from 196364. Flynn has tied Rochelle Ware's 1981-82 record for blocks in a season with 37. Rhodes needs just 17 more three-pointers made to break April Taylor's record from last season.

Jerry's the Best for UCO's Broncho wrestling By Richard Tortoreili Sports Writer UCO wrestler Jerry Best not only has the Bronchos' best record this season, but he has also provided leadership for the team. The four-time defending national champion Bronchos started out the season 3-5 in their quest for a fifth title, and UCO wrestling coach David James said that Best's leadership was key during that time. "I have noticed, being a fifth-year senior, he's become more vocal, he knows what's on the line," said James, who has coached the Bronchos to nine national titles. "We've had some trying times this year and I noticed Jerry stepped up and has vocally said some things he felt he needed to. UCO has won seven straight duals since then to improve to 10-5 on the season. The Bronchos take on third-ranked archrival Nebraska-Omaha 7 p.m. Friday in
Hamilton Field House in their regular-season dual finale. The two-time defending national champion and AllAmerican currently owns a team-best 28-4 record and leads the Bronchos in takedowns (100), near-falls (26), major decisions (8) and match terminations (6). He has also finished first in two tournaments this season. Best, a five-foot eleven-inch, 142-pound senior from Chandler, Okla., has a chance to finish his career in a select group. He'll gun for his third national title this season, an accomplishment only two other wrestlers, Ronnie James and Johnny Nimmo (who was a four-time champ), have done previously at UCO. "I feel it's a great opportunity for me and the program and I wouldn't be able to have it without Coach James and the coaching staff," said Best, who currently ranks sixth in career winning percentage at UCO (.843) with a 70-13 career record. "I want to end my career on a really good note. I don't want someone to say, 'He lost his last match.' I want to be considered among those other great
wrestlers who won three titles." Known for his ferocious takedowns, Best has a decidedly unorthodox wrestling style. "I work a lot on technique, a lot more than other wrestlers do," Best explains. "Other wrestlers around the nation will work on defense, but I'm all offense. I say the best defense is a good offense. Other guys worry about what their opponent will do but I think if you keep a guy moving, you're going to win. I'm not a physical guy, so I have to work mainly on technique." James is very high on Best and the Bronchos should have continued success with Best racking up the victories for UCO. "There's a reason he was a four-time state champ out of high school and now there's a reason he's a two-time NCAA Division II champ right now," James said of Best, who was 127-0 with four state titles at Chandler High School. "He's just a very fortunate, very blessed athlete and he comes each match to wrestle."

audience could tell. Enough about the Out-toLunch Bunch; it was obviously hired to make the crowd want Pavement (i.e. good music) even more. Finally, the piece de resistance: Pavement. Oddly, the band, who hails from California, looks less like the grunged-out kiddies at the concert and more like five guys who got kicked out of Harvard. No matter. The five members of Pavement put on the perfect show. Allow me to elaborate: First, the band didn't seem larger than life like bands tend to be. The crowd was crammed close to the stage (sans security) and Pavement was interested in seeing and talking to the crowd.
Second, there was minimal moshing to interfere with everybody's enjoyment of the show. And those who did mosh obviously didn't understand the wonderfully crafted, quickly moving art that is Pavement. Third, despite cries of "Cut Your Hair" and "Stop Breathing" by the crowd, Pavement gave a taste of its entire collection of CDs instead of regurgitating the newest one. Pavement mixed up lyrics and extended solo sections, challenging the audience to keep up with them. And, finally the girl next to me passed out cold—how much more do you need? Pavement IST rad. —John Clanton

Hope Chest rejuvenates Maniacs
H
was ope Chest released in 1990, but it contains the music from the beginnings of the everimpressive 10,000 Maniacs. 10,000 Maniacs will always have a place at college radio stations with its unique style and Natalie Merchant's raw emotional singing. Hope Chest is a collection of the first two recording sessions by 10,000 Maniacs. In 1982 and 1983, the band recorded two sessions at Fredonia State University. These were later titled Human Conflict Number Five and Secrets of the I Ching. While most of these songs are semi-obscure, there is no mistaking them for anything but the 10,000 Maniacs. Hope Chest provides listeners with a glimpse of Merchant at the age of 17, when she was still in the dawn of her career. The songs all hold true to the
10,000 Maniacs style. Right from the start with this album, 10,000 Maniacs proves it has always been the terrific band it is. There isn't really any need to compare Hope Chest with anything else by the 10,000 Maniacs. The only real difference is that the themes in the songs on Hope Chest sometimes seem to be little more surrealistic than other albums. Hope Chest is a musthave for any one who has listened to Merchant and said, "God, she's awesome!"

Those crazy Maniacs are at it again, this time with Hope Chest on a collection of rcordings from 1982 and 1983. Available on Elektra Music.

Mosque opens Ramadan celebration By Paul Eddy Staff Writer
The UCO Muslim Student Association and the Islamic Society of Edmond are extending an invitation for those interested to join them in their celebration of Ramadan at the Edmond Mosque, 525 N. University Dr. Ramadan is a month of the Islamic calendar. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from morning until sunset. Worshipers begin arriving at
the mosque around 6 p.m. Upon entering, they remove their shoes. The men and women gather in separate rooms where they are served dates and orange juice to break the day's fast. Dates are the traditional fare of holy prophets, said Mohammed Jouhari, a computer science major at UCO. At 6:20 p.m. the call to prayer begins and the men line up in four rows making sure there are no gaps between them. The lines must be very straight with no gaps to show strength in the community, said
Mohammed Siddiqui, a UCO student. The prayer leader chants passages from the Koran and leads the men in humbling themselves. The worshipers bow to the ground three times and then turn to look both ways. "We turn our heads to salute the two angels, one on the right shoulder and one on the left shoulder," said one worshiper. After the prayer, which is the fourth out of five for the day, dinner is served and the men talk amongst themselves.

The Smoking in Public Places Act, passed in 1987, defined Smoking is responsible for an where people could smoke and estimated 434,000 deaths every where they couldn't. UCO year, based on figures from the developed its policy based on National Cancer Institute. that law. The warning labels on UCO's smoking policy states cigarette packages have been a that, "No smoking is allowed on positive point for the tobacco campus except in designated industry. The label has removed areas." Those areas are outside the liability for health hazards the buildings, said Don Powers, from the company and director of safety and transferred them to the environmental management. consumer. In order to have a smoking "It was a major victory for the area inside a building, new tobacco industry," said Dr. ventilation systems would have Gregory Scott, political science to be installed to purify the
smoke filled air, Powers said. "To my knowledge there have been no disciplinary actions taken for smoking infractions," Powers said. The dangers of smoking are well known, yet people continue to smoke, said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the student health center. "Women are smoking more," she said. Statistics from the U.S. Public Health Service show that smoking has decreased among those over 18, down from 50 percent in 1964 to 26 percent in 1994. But smoking among Caucasian high school seniors was 35 percent in 1992 while only 10 percent among African American high school seniors, said the Office on Smoking and Health.
If those who smoke continue to do so, "odds are that you will get one of the many smokingrelated diseases like emphysema, heart disease, cancers and respiratory diseases," said Wallenmeyer. "It's more likely that they will than they won't." It can take many years for those diseases to develop and the exact number varies from person to person. In addition to the diseases often associated with smoking, smokers are more apt to catch colds than non-smokers, Wallenmeyer said. "Their respiratory track is more susceptible to infections," she said. Non-smokers who live with smokers also get more colds and are at higher risk for diseases, she said.
For those who would like to quit smoking but can't give up the nicotine just yet, there are products available that may help. Nicotine patches and gums deliver continuous small doses of nicotine that is absorbed into the skin or mouth. Wallenmeyer said these methods have worked well for some smokers. "The doctors here (at the student health center) have prescribed them." She said the best way to quit is just to decide that you're going to do it. Activities that can aid in quitting smoking include: exercising, taking up hobbies that keep your hands busy, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding activities that encourage smoking.
