Audit uncovers problems in UCO's financial aid program By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer The UCO Student Financial Aid (SFA) department has lost or misfiled documents, given inefficient service to students and allowed unexplained employee absences, stated a recent special audit report. The audit and report prepared by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges (BOROC) produced 12 pages of problems and suggestions to correct them. It stated that students were inconvenienced by poor service and dropped from classes as a result of the university's policy of canceling classes if tuition is not paid in advance. Lost - documents threatened UCO's ability to receive federal funds. Therefore, two additional student workers were hired to help with filing, said the report. Auditors found fault with the
SFA policy of closing for two hours every Tuesday morning for meetings. The report said SFA discontinued the practice. Kendra Henthorn, associate director, said she was not familiar enough with most of the findings to comment on them. There has been no official meeting to discuss the audit, she said. However, the report states Henthorn reviewed it along with Sheila Fugett, SFA director and Richard Burpee, UCO's former interim vice president for administration. Henthorn said questions should be referred to Fugett , but Fugett had taken the afternoon off, and was not available for comment until Monday. In some instances recommendations were followed, according to the report. But in other instances, the report said the only management response
was to review the problem. Reported deficiencies in personnel policy that allowed employees to arrive late and leave early, unexplained absences and past due performance evaluations as late as four years were corrected, according to the report. A phone bank, staffed with temporary employees that had to be hired and retrained every semester had answered 55,000 phone calls for SFA in the 199495 school year. The audit said calls went unanswered and students were inconvenienced. Henthorn said SFA responded to the problem by starting installation of an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) that will start in August. Henthom said 99 percent of the problem of lost and backlogged files was due to requests for additional V See AUDIT, Page 3

Financial aid officers must live up to audit
F
rom the conversations around UCO, it's clear that students have a favorite word. That big, little word is JOB. It's what we want, what we dream of and why we are here. UCO is Oklahoma's stepchild in terms of state subsidies, yet we are rich in the work ethic. According to Laura Tyree, research assistant for institutional planning and research, over 50 percent of UCO students work more than 20 hours per week. Despite that fact, she said 40 percent of our GPA were between a 3.0 and 4.0 average. We expect excellence from ourselves as students and as taxpayers demand it from those who work for us in the administration of UCO. According to an audit of the Student Financial Aid (SFA) Department done by state regents, 46 percent of us receive financial aid. In one semester, Fall 1995, this, put $24 million (a figure disputed by SFA to The Vista, but not to the director of the audit) in the hands of a department plagued by an inefficient staff that often holds students' money four weeks longer than was necessary. That's a lot of money, honey, a lot of inconvenience and needless suffering for 7,108 students who deserve better. Sheila Fugett, SFA director, said the department has a sincere desire to do the best they can for their customers and welcome any suggestions for improvement. Granted, no department is perfect and these mistakes could be the result of a lax work ethics and not overt malice. . Employees m SFA are to be envied their good jobs. But the bottom line is that it's better to do a good job than to have a good job. Here's an idea for them: If the staff of SFA relishes its time off from work so much, why not give it a permanent vacation?

Black History Month sickens student
/
would like to voice a concern regarding Black History Month and Miss Black UCO. Truthfully, I am quite sick of hearing about Black History Month and of seeing notices about it all over campus. Almost every (if not every) Vista publishing this month has contained an article or articles regarding Black History and banners have been put up all over campus saying "Celebrate Black History Month." I think it is wonderful that McCoy received over 57 patents during his lifetime, that Garrett Morgan created the gas mask, and that Alice Parker invented a heating furnace, but what purpose does Black History Month serve? To inform the people, you say? My argument is simply this: we are taught history from kindergarten through college. We learn about the achievements of ALL people regardless of color or sex in our history classes and do not need a

separate month of the year to be told about black inventors and thinkers. I get rather disgusted with any group or race when they claim to want equality while they separate themselves from the rest of society. Hence, my problem with Miss Black UCO. According to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, universities and others who receive federal assistance are barred from committing acts of discrimination. Miss Black UCO is an establishment of the University of Central Oklahoma that discriminates against nonblack individuals. I am not stating a belief that Miss Black UCO is illegal, just that it is endangering the life work of many black men and women. Since before the end of the Civil War, black people have fought for and gained equality for themselves and others. Recently, however, the United States has seen a regression of equality
forced not by whites, but by blacks. Items such as Black History Month and Miss Black UCO do nothing but segregate blacks from others—the very thing that Martin Luther King Jr. and many others fought against for many years. What is next? Shall we now say that from this point forward black women may only compete for Miss Black UCO? And should we also say that from now on black individuals and achievements will only be celebrated during February, never again to be taught in History classes? How about declaring that blacks only be allowed to sit in the back of the bus? Perhaps we should look at the things that have been done in recent years to "further" equality. I think we'll find that instead of progressing, we are regressing. —Jason G. Bryan

CORRECTIONS In the Feb. 27 issue of The Vista, it was erroneously reported that the Chinese New Year party, Feb. 24, was a combined effort of the Malaysian and Chinese Student Associations. The party, whose turnout was about twice the reported 100, was organized only by the Malaysian Student Association (MSA). Hari Raya, the Malays' New Year, was incorrectly called the "Malaysian New Year." The Dynasty Restaurant sponsored only the lion dance but not the gifts. The MSA provided the gifts for the drawings. ✓

information from students. When students sent records, for instance their parents tax forms, they did not indicate the name of the student whose file it was intended for, said Henthorn. More confusion ensued when parents put their own name in blanks where the student's name should have gone, she said. The problem has gone on "forever," said Henthorn. However, no instructions such as the words "student name here"
were added to forms. The sign above the drop box that reads "To help insure faster processing and proper filing, please include YOUR name and ID# on ALL documentation" was moved next to the box. Another suggestion from the panel was to revise the poorly prepared instructions and the outdated procedures manual. Fugett said changing regulatory guidelines make that a difficult task, and review of the manual is ongoing.

definitive sexual harassment procedure. Jacob said the university needed something broader than the current policy on sexual misconduct or sexual harassment. "The new policy will have a process for review on campus before it gets into the legal system and lawsuits," Jacob said. The task force committee was formed last year and is composed of 15 people, including two students. "We feel that this could be one of the most important academic policies developed on this campus. That's why it's important the committee structure is well defined and the
task force takes time to thoroughly address this issue," Jacob said. In developing the new policy, Jacob said they looked at the policy of other universities, both in state and out of state. "We reviewed the policies and pulled out what was appropriate to this university," he said. He set Feb. 16 as a deadline for suggestions to the draft of the new policy. Jacob said he hopes to have the policy in its final form by the end of the semester. It will then be submitted to UCO's President who can make changes or approve it as is. The target date for implementing the new policy is July 1, 1996.

Internships provide students with needed experience This is the first in a series on internships and the job market.
By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer
So you've gotten a degree and now you're rady to get a job. The only problem is all the ads say "experience required" and you don't have any because you've been in school the past four years. How can you beat this catch-22? An internship.
"Internships provide work experience, allow for networking on the job, and gives the student the opportunity to find out if they really like the field," said Carrol McAllister Internship coordinator for UCO's Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS). With the competition today, having internship experience gives a graduate an edge in the job market, she said. CD&PS reviews internship positions offered by the employers to make sure they are
progressive learning experiences and not just grunt work. Most internships are for students who are juniors or seniors. The employers want students who have had some related classwork in the field, McAllister said. Academic credit is available for many internships, but it is awarded by the department, rather than the CD&PS. Students should check with both their department and CD&PS to find internships available in their field. Internships can be either
paid or non-paid positions. The employers currently offering internships are from both the private and the public sector. Students have been placed through CD&PS in internship positions this year with the Edmond Convention and Visitors Bureau, Grube George Advertisers, Pillsbury and TAXNET, Inc. To be eligible for an internship through CD&PS, a student must be enrolled during the semesters they will be
interning. Students must be registered with CD&PS and must have a minimum GPA of 2.0. McAllister encourages students to come in on a regular basis because there are always new employers listing positions with CD&PS. Some departments on campus offer internship coordination without the assistance of CD&PS. Requirements such as GPA and courses taken may differ from those of CD&PS. Atz
Placement service makes post graduation job search easier By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer There is a $15 fee for registering with Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS). But, by registering with the Disc Resume
system, your resume will be automatically referred to potential employers. When a student goes to CD&PS they are given a packet containing an IBM compatible diskette on which they are asked to enter information about their education and the job they
desire. "We refer 400-500 resumes on a monthly basis," said Carrol McAllister, internship coordinator at CD&PS. To be eligible for interviews that are being conducted by employers on campus, a student must be registered with CD&PS.
Teacher education students can maintain a teacher credential file with CD&PS which can be forwarded to school districts they request. CD&PS has walk-in appointment times when students can have their resume critiqued or talk with a career counselor:
Tues. 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. and Wed. and Thurs. 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. At other times, students need to make an appointment to see a career counselor. The CD&PS hours are 8:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Mondays and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday - Friday.

Bronchos knock off ENMU in conference tournament By Jeff Packham Sports Editor In what was expected to be a showdown between UCO's Tyrone Hopkins and Eastern New Mexico's Troy Anderson turned into a simple game of horse between the Bronchos' Scott Sanders and the Greyhounds' Mike Coleman. Coleman hit the most shots (hitting 13-22) and scored more points (32), but Sanders missed fewer shots (hitting 12-20 en route to a career-high 31 points) and hit the more timely shots in the second half as the Bronchos defeated ENMU, 100-94, in a first round Lone Star Conference tournament game. "Mike Coleman just did a great job," UCO head coach Jim Seward said. "He kept them in the game." Hopkins held up his end of the battle between two of the LSC's leading scorers by hitting seven of 11 attempts for 23 points for UCO, but Anderson was cold for the Greyhounds,
hitting only five of 15 shots for 12 points. The Greyhounds hit only 11 of 41 three-point shots, including one of six by Anderson. Stephen Hamrick, who came into the game leading the conference in both three-pointers per game (3.4) and three-point percentage (48.5) hit only two of 12 attempts from long range. "We did a reasonable job on those two guys (Anderson and Hamrick)," Seward said. "Coleman, we just didn't have an answer for." Tyshon Fisher contributed 18 points, Dewayne Rogers added 12 points and Al Segova had a team-high 11 rebounds for UCO. Those three seniors, in addition to Sanders, played their final game at Hamilton Field House as the remaining schedule will be at other sites. The Bronchos jumped out to an early 7-2 lead, but early turnovers assisted ENMU in jumping out to a 43-35 lead. UCO closed out the half wilha 14-4 run to take a 49-47

UCO wrestlers start trek toward 5th straight national championship By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer
Central Oklahoma's wrestling team begins their quest today for a fifth straight national title at the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional in Kirksville, Mo. UCO wrestling coach David James, in his 14th year coaching the Bronchos, says the season is at stake when first-round action starts at 9 a.m. today. "This is the most important tournament of the year, even more important than the nationals, because if you don't do well here, you don't even need to talk about nationals," said James.

By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma women's tennis team opens their season this weekend looking to mold a team out of underclassmen and newcomers. The Lady Bronchos, who play Northwest Missouri 10 a.m. Saturday at the UCO Tennis Courts, consist of all underclassmen, including three players who will be in their first spring season with UCO. UCO finished second in the Lone Star Conference to national power Abilene Christian with a 7-11 record last spring, and UCO tennis coach Francis Baxter says that the team's fortunes will depend on the newcomers' performances. "If they play some good tennis, we can at least be competitive with Abilene," said Baxter, who also coaches the men's team. "(The key to the season) is going to be some of our new players holding down
their position on the team and doing well." One of those new faces is Jana Vnouckova, who won the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional tournament and placed fourth at the national tournament in singles play during the fall season. The 5-6 freshman from Kolin, Czech Republic went 10-2 this past fall and enters the spring campaign ranked fourth nationally and first in the Midwest Region in No. 1 singles. Rounding out the team are Andrea Bailey, a sophomore returning starter at doubles and No. 2 singles, Jackie Jenkins, Shelby McGaughey, Christy Sarkey, a junior transfer from Southern Nazerene, and walkon Mild Kurahashi. The women will play Northeast Missouri Monday, March 4 at 1:30 p.m., also at the UCO Courts. The men's team plays the same opponents at the same places and times Saturday and Monday.

`If it bleeds It leads' Up Close And Personal Monday night I was privy to one of the most unique cinematic experiences I've encountered in quite awhile. It was called Up Close and Personal and it starred Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Up Close and Personal, as you've no doubt heard is about broadcast news reporters and how they fall in love. The reason it was so unique is because after the first ten
minutes I was ready to walk out, but by the end I was hooked. Up Close and Personal operated under the assumption that a crybaby wannabe journalist would be given a shot in the business simply because she has a nice figure and because she's "going to be a star."—See Pfeiffer. Mainly because of her figure she is taught the ropes by a tough, experienced newsman.—
See Redford. After a shaky start, several makeovers and a few nervous fits, Tally Atwater, as she is called, makes it in the business. Of course this only happens in imaginary newsrooms and never in real life, which is the biggest obstacle for the audience to overcome before they enjoy the rest of the movie. Once these preliminary shenanigans are over with Up Close And Personal becomes a genuine, state of the art love story, well worthy of at least $5 and a good date movie to boot. Up Close And Personal combines all the essential elements of a love story: sex, death, crying, action, and more than its share of subtle, quick witted humor. While watching the movie you can almost see it go from a one star journalism movie along the lines of To Die For to a three or four star movie
somewhere around the Broadcast News category. If you can get through the first half, you'll be glad you did, Up Close and Personal is the love story you'll love to love. The love story aspect wins Up Close And Personal four stars, but the first half knocks it down to three. Long-time Redford fans should Robert Redford And Michelle Pfeiffer star love this one, he in Up Close And Personal, a love story seems to have been directed by Jon Avnet. A Touchstone made for the role, Pictures release. while Michelle Pfeiffer acts alot like she always Reviews are rated on has. the five star scale.

It's an Unforgettable shame about Ray Last Wednesday night I went into Quail Springs Cinema hoping for the best. I was hoping that Unforgettable, a new movie starring Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Article 99) would wow me, knock me off my feet. Instead I got vanilla, bland, run of the mill and blah, mediocre, so-so and just OK. I like Ray Liotta as much as the next movie buff, which is probably why I was hoping for so much. Liotta was of course wonderful in Goodfellas and above average in Unlawful Entry, but in Unforgettable there wasn't much to work with because every aspect of the movie was so wonderfully mediocre. I'm not making excuses for Ray but frankly friends, Unforgettable wasn't really all that memorable. • Remember Color of Night, Jennifer 8 , Seven and those
Linda Fiorentino, Ray Liotta and Peter Coyote star in the not-so-memorable film Unforgettable. A Metro Goldwyn Mayer picture. other psychological thrillers that just seemed to take the pattern made by Manhunter and Silence of the Lambs and throw it right back in order to make a quick buck? Chalk up Unforgettable as one of those films. The story line was semioriginal, it scoots and sputters along for a while then a twist
(gee! what a surprise we've never seen it quite like this before.) Ray Liotta plays David Krane a medical examiner who was once accused of killing his wife but was acquitted because a rookie cop screwed up the investigation. At any rate, he's innocent of course and due to the
astounding work of Martha Briggs (Linda Fiorentino) Krane is able to inject the memories of his wife and her possible killers into his mind. And so, for the rest of the movie Ray walks around shooting up memories like a madman, getting all freaked out, and eventually finding the killer, which the audience identified twenty minutes before he does. Incidentally, the dream sequence which closes out the movie should be put up for some kind of award. I can see it all now: "And now to present the award for `Lamest Ending in a Movie' the stars of Sliver Sharon Stone and William Baldwin." Applause, applause, roll credits, fade to black.

Everybody was Kung-fu fighting Rumble in the Bronx is Jackie Chan's second major attempt at infiltrating the hallowed halls of Hollywood-dom (some may argue it's his fifth, but then who's counting?). So will the bridge draw on him the way it did Cannonball Run, his first American effort? Well, not having Burt Reynolds as his co-star this time should help his chances at attaining that long-elusive cinematic knighthood. Chan stars as Keung, a decent, average boy-next-door kind of guy who comes to Ainerica to attend the wedding of his uncle, Bill (Bill Tung). Shortly after his arrival in Bronx, New York, he receives a rude introduction into the ways and manners of the
local gang there. As Bill and his new wife take off for their honeymoon, Keung stays behind to smooth out any kinks the new owner of Uncle Bill's grocery store, Elaine (Anita Mui), may have. For Mui, who has bagged a Golden Horse Award (Asia's equivalent of the Oscars), her appearance in Rumble is merely a courtesy call to Chan. Her impressive acting skills go sadly untapped, reduced to mere facial contortions in a few comic scenes. A twist in what passes as a semblance of a plot (yes, it's that flimsy), two gangs—one in leather jackets and the other in suits—collide for a cache of stolen jewels. Flying balls of
A story best left untold Well, it's out now. The untold story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. They call it Mary Reilly and it is the most disappointing movie of the year. Mary Reilly seemed intriguing at first, but, believe me it really isn't worth the two hours you'd spend watching it. John Malkovich (Of Mice and Men, In The Line Of Fire) stars as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Julia Roberts portrays Mary Reilly, complete with Kevin Costner Syndrome. That is to say, she speaks without an English accent throughout the movie. The first annoying apect of the movie is that it is so incredibly slow that getting up to visit the concession stand every now and then isn't a bad idea to break up the monotony. The movie takes place in one house and on the rainy streets in England. The plot is as slow as the directing and the story revolves around a scientist who obviously adores his houskeeper. Who, while making medicine creates the unsavory Mr. Hyde who acts out what Jekyll wants to do. Unfortunately, none of this
becomes clear until the last twenty minutes of the movie. As near as I can figure, the "untold" part is added because never before have we seen how thisaffected the poor, overworked housewife. But who really cares about that? We don't fully understand the transformation between Jekyll and Hyde until the last five minutes of the movie, we just know that it happens. By the way such a thing has not been seen since Quato took center stage in Total Recall There is no climax, no excitement and as we all know a movie needs both of these to be considered decent. Mary Reilly is the most boring movie of the year. By the way did you know: Malkovich's head is twice the size of Robert's, there are 4,000 tiles on the ceiling, the people sitting next to me are having marital problems and YLLIER YRAM is Mary Reilly spelled backwards? —By John Clanton

lead, liberal spurts of blood and minced human meat erupt form the impact. Keung, the kung-fu meister in shining armor, goes chop, chop, chop and the madness stops. "I hope the next time we meet (instead of fighting) we'll be drinking tea instead," he beseeches those punks who almost killed him once and beat him to a bloody pulp twice. In a matter of a minute and two lines shot out in rapid-fire Cantonese, Chan actually made converts out of these hard-core gangsters. Talk about a religious experience! If Chan should ever decide to leave the acting industry, tele-evangelism is a promising second career. Chan is responsible for such cheesy lines—"This is Chinese kung-fu" —that one would think he hails from Wisconsin instead of Hong Kong. The movie's saving grace are the well-choreographed stunts,

UCO's new equity officer faces old problems By Gayleen Langthorn
Staff Writer
UCO Equity Officer Brad Morelli attends to his paper work. Moreffi's office is responsible for the equal and just enforcement of university policy. (Staff photo by Laurette Graham)
UCO's Equity Officer has gotten a lot of attention lately, considering he administers the university's sexual harassment policy. Brad Morelli, a 1977 UCO graduate in political science, has worked for the university for three and a half months. In that time he has handled complaints on ethnic harassment, sexual harassment and misunderstandings about applying rules in departments. One of the major problems that he's found in dealing with these situations is that sexual harassment tends to be gender biased. That is, what a reasonable woman might find offensive might not offend a reasonable man. Morelli would like to have a standing committee to hear sexual harassment cases so those hearing the cases could receive special training and understand what sexual harassment is. The university's current
THOMAS EDISON NEVER LIT UP.
policy clearly defines what sexual harassment is, but doesn't define a procedure for how complaints will be handled once they are filed. A task force for developing a new faculty conduct policy has been formed, with Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs as its chairman (see story on page one). The committee has sent a draft policy to faculty representatives and to Morelli. Morelli said the draft of the new professional conduct policy is "good as far as it went." But it breaks down because it is not specific as to what happens after the rule is broken. There should be guidelines about how hearings and investigations should proceed, Morelli said. As far as the departmental misunderstandings, he said they stemmed from communication breakdowns within the departments. Morelli said he would like to
start a mediation program at UCO so more of the problems could be handled internally. "There aren't a whole lot of problems in life that you can't solve by talking about it," he said. By bringing in an independent third party it helps to open up people's eyes and work out their problems. "We need mediators to take care of those things so the deans don't have to," he said. He hopes to get the mediation system in place by the fall semester. Aside from handling complaints, Morelli also advises the screening committees who recommend candidates for all professional positions. They grade the applications and determine who should be rejected, he said. "Certain things can be considered and certain things can not—like sex, race and national origin." The equity officer also makes sure the university is in
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and handles equal employment opportunity complaints. Morelli is also responsible for overseeing minority recruitment for both staff and students. "As I learn the job I'll have more time to get involved with that," he said. Before he was advising screening committees and discussing sexual harassment, Morelli practiced law for 15 years in Guthrie and worked as a part time administrative law judge for eight years. He said that working at UCO is challenging in its own way. "I thought this might get too routine, but there have been surprises." Morelli enjoys being back on campus. "It's a totally different atmosphere... You meet real interesting people on campus— everyone has a story to tell, but the stories here are more interesting," he said.
