Faculty, staff meet to discuss finances ■ Annual spring faculty, staff meeting outlines the last year and future at UCO

by Michael Robertson Staff Writer

UCO faculty and staff gathered Feb. 23 in Constitution Hall in the Nigh University Center for the spring faculty

and staff meeting.

Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Don Betz welcomed the faculty and staff and introduced a video made for the recent 'Bella Notte' event that highlighted recent achievements and events at UCO. After the video, Betz introduced Steven Kreidler, finance and administration vice president, who talked about construction and improvement pro-

jects on campus.

Kreidler announced that the $850,000 project to convert the overhang on the southeast corner of the Max Chambers Library to office space is complete.

He said that over the last few months, donors have given money to the university to fund beautification projects. Kreidler talked about plans to build a park in honor of Dr. Roscoe Robinson, former UCO presi-

dent, on the west side of campus, and also a park honoring Irma Plunkett, former director of women's athletics.

Kreidler said the city of Edmond paid for the sidewalk that was recently installed along Second Street, and announced that there will be a large, bronze statue of a horse, by sculptor Harold Holden, placed along the sidewalk.

Kreidler then showed slides of the construction being done

at Wantland Stadium and an artist's rendering of what the stands will look like after it's finished. He said the stadium will hold about 10,000 people.

Kreidler talked about the upcoming Higher Education capital bond issue. He said if it passes, the first priority will be to remodel Old North. He said it will cost about $5 million to remodel the inside of the building.

Kreidler said the other main

by Tynesia Omopariola Staff Writer

Dr. Judith Coe announced.

Feb. 2 that she will retire as the Dean of the College of Education, effective May 31, 2005, after 34 years in the education system.

Coe has spent seven of the 18 years in the College of Education as the dean. Before taking this position, she was the assistant dean for five years and the department chairperson.

State colleges, universities seeing decline in remediation

Fewer first-time freshmen graduating from Oklahoma high schools are taking remedial classes at the state's public colleges and universities.

The 2003 to 2004 Annual Student Remediation Report stated that the remediation rate dropped from 37.3 percent to 35 percent between 1996 and 2004.

"We're certainly pleased to see that remediation rates are declining," said Paul GT RisSer, chancellor of Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

"It's important for our students to be properly prepared for college so that they can graduate in a timely manner."

Remedial courses are taken for no credit to eliminate one or more deficiencies from the areas of math, reading, English and science. Students scoring lower than 19 on the ACT must enroll in a remedial class or go through additional testing.

In a year 2000 study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, 28 percent of entering freshmen nationwide enrolled in one or more remedial classes as compared to about out 45 percent of UCO freshmen, said Leigh Smith, coordinator of the UCO Academic Support Center.

Smith said UCO "has made the decision to partner with Rose State College, a two-year community college, to teach all remedial courses with exception of a reading course."

Janie Henry, Rose State College coordinator for developmental courses and services, said that Rose State College offered 25 sections of math and English at UCO this spring.

Although the remediation rate for math decreased 0.7% from last year, the report revealed that more freshmen

priorities for the money are a classroom, a faculty office building and a forensic science facility.

Kreidler listed a number of other improvement projects, including work on the Art & Design Building, gates on faculty. parking lots, new signs around campus, exterior work on the library, botanical gardens, repairs to Hamilton Field

Coe was also an elementary teacher, school counselor, principal and a superintendent before she was a faculty member at UCO. Many important things have happened for the College of Education during her time as dean. The college was the first to adopt a 'guarantee program' that makes sure each teacher who graduates from the department will be competent in all standards of education or the college will remediate them.

This program was also adopted

by the state, requiring all higher learning institutions in Oklahoma to use that same guarantee.

"Education is such a huge part of the world today. We have a great responsibility as educators to prepare teachers for work in Oklahoma as well as in other states," Coe said.

Coe has also increased the internal and external funding for the department through grants, donations and fundraising efforts. The college has met all standards for the National

Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and has climbed to the first quartile of the Title Two Rankings, a state report card on the quality of teacher preparation.

Coe has also worked to recognize the college from six to eight departments to better group the programs for their specific purposes. The college has also opened a speech, hearing and reading clinic.

Dr. Don Betz, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, has known Coe since

he hired her in 1999. "She was the first dean that I hired," Betz said.

Betz said he was very fortunate to work with such a capable and professional person that knows how to communicate clearly with others.

"She is so knowledgeable about a wide variety of issues facing education...Dr. Coe has been very important to this college's growth and development," Betz said.

So, how about those Oscars?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor, I am not going to sink to calling you a liberal or conservative paper because it seems to vary day to day which means you must be fairly balanced. The only objection I have is the political Cartoon by Eric Osborn. I would like to see where he got the information that Toby Keith does , not support the war in Iraq anymore? I think you should be careful when you use names to make a point. If you have proof that he does not support the war than please print it because, here is a statement by Toby Keith last month: http://wvvw.contactmusic.c om/new/artist.nsf/artistnames/toby%20keith

Go ahead, you try doing politica

(Editor's note: The excerpt from the above Web site was omitted from this letter due to space constraints.)

I feel that if you are going to use a celebrity as a message you had better have the proof to back it up, otherwise you are misleading people. It is hard enough to believe a newspaper or a journalist as it is. Please do not prove that journalists are misleading and ruin your credibility when they can spend a couple of minutes to show the statement is not factual. You could say, "Well it is a cartoon not an article," but it makes a loud statement which is not factual.

Thanks for your time, • Thomas Ball Education Major

STAFF EDITORIAL

Academy winners recognized for performance, not race t the 77th annual Academy Awards Feb. 27 in Hollywood, the immediate hype leading up to and following certain aspects of the event were unfounded, outdated and bordered on racism.

In particular, the hype over two black men—Jamie Foxx and Morgan Freeman—taking the top acting honors is being served up as a novelty, a surprise even, and overlooks the fact that those two were the best actors of the last year of any race, color or ethnicity.

So why has the coverage after the event been so focused on race? They did not receive the awards because they were black or because of guilt from the motion picture community.

Simply put, they were the best. Just as with the top actress honors going to two white women, who likewise did

A

the best in their categories. But no one is saying that. It's considered the norm, but it's not.

The odd and degrading coverage and hype undermined the talented `black' actors by pretending perhaps that we are all different, dictated by our race. We're not. This isn't the Hollywood of the past and fortunately this country has moved beyond the horrible days of Jim Crow laws.

And for some reason I guess we were supposed to be shocked by a black host, Chris Rock. Has everyone forgotten Whoopi Goldberg?

It is almost as if Hollywood and the planners of the awards are trying to say, 'Let's shock them with some black people.' Rubbish.

The United States might not always lead the way when dealing with the

many races that make up our great country but don't expect us to act so shocked when non-white people dole out and receive honors.

And while Rock may not have been the best choice of host it seems like he was placed in the hot seat to ruffle a few feathers. It didn't happen.

Just when his jokes began to border on the obscene, he backed off, instead berating the Hollywood community as a whole. Rock also made several generic jokes about the abundance of black nominees and the caliber of black films. Did Rock feel that Foxx and Freeman were somehow sub-par to nominees of other races since many `black' movies seem to be predominated by comedians and rappers, and often carry one-word titles?

Foxx expertly channeled the trou-

bled but brilliant Ray Charles. In lesser hands the portrayal could have become comical and unrealistic.

Likewise, Freeman in "Million Dollar Baby" was not the stock 'black exfighter' character. Instead, he and Hilary Swank stole the show for their extremely believable portrayals; one as a fighter who never went all the way, and another who never would.

The message to the academy and the entertainment media is this: white America is not shocked by the sight of black people (and if they are, they need to step into the 21st century). We are all Americans. We live together, work together and are not shocked by the sight of those who do not look exactly like we do.

In days gone by, black actors such as Sidney Poitier were barrier break-

ers, when roles for black actors were few to non-existent but even acclaim for him was deserved, not the by-product of guilt. Nowadays actors are actors, despite race, and should be treated as such.

This country is moving in a positive direction, and we should be happy that actors of every race are honored in all fields.

Maybe the entertainment media needs to check its calendar. Votes for Foxx and Freeman were not sympathy votes, plain and simple. The best were honored at the Academy Awards; not the best white, black, purple or green actors, but simply the best of 2004.

MIKE'S GRIPES

Oscars: Superbowl of the movie world? guess this was a pretty decent year for the Oscars. It seemed like people were more interested in it this year, for some reason. A few of my friends actually had Oscar parties this year, which is a big switch. Usually they just gripe about how whatever indie movie they really liked got passed over or wasn't even mentioned, or how cheesy the whole production is in general.

I think the movies nominated this year were actually pretty arty. Rather than being nominated just for the amount of money they made, it seems like the content is actually the main concern, which is good.

At the same time, arty movies are more demanding to watch. I didn't see "The Aviator" or "Million Dollar Baby." I didn't see "Ray" either, and I

really like Ray Charles. For some reason, Jamie Foxx gets on my nerves.

I think part of it, for me, is the cost.

I just can't afford to go to the movies that often. I think I maybe went to see four or five movies this year, and the ones I did go see definitely weren't given attention by the academy. I watched the ceremony with my friend Ryan, who kept wondering why

"Napoleon Dynamite" wasn't nominated for Best Comedy or something.

Personally, I think they should have created a new Best Puppet Sex category for "Team America: World Police."

As I watched, it occurred to me that the Oscars are sort of like the Super Bowl for movies, but without the yelling and hitting. From the point of view of spectacle, the two events are similar, if not quite the same. The Oscars are a little more low-key, though they have the equivalent of the half-time show peppered throughout the broadcast. I laughed like crazy last night when Antonio Banderas sang a song with Carlos Santana backing him up on guitar. I don't know why it was so funny. I guess Banderas can sing, but it was just so weird, I couldn't stop laughing. It reminded me of that

"Saturday Night Live" skit Chris Kattan used to do where he impersonated Banderas, and kept tearing his shirt off because he was too sexy to keep it on.

And Santana had on a beret, sunglasses, and a Che Guevara shirt. I think unintentional comedy is the best comedy of all, but that's just me, of course.

So I wondered, in the midst of the spectacle, why don't the advertising people make as much of a big deal out of the Oscars as they do the Super Bowl?

I think some of the commercials were new, but for the most part, it was the same stuff they've been showing. I guess somehow movies don't speak to the obsessive consumer the way football does.

Is it because the Oscars are supposed to be more dignified and highbrow? If so, why was Chris Rock the host? Don't get me wrong, he was funny, and did a good job, but he's not exactly George Plimpton.

I guess in the end, the Oscars just have more actual content. Between the speeches, movie clips and performances, there's just not enough attention left to obsess over advertisements.

I think the Super Bowl has to rely on the commercials and the halftime show as selling points, because without them, it's just some guys running back and forth with a lot of clothes on.

Theatre to begin `second season'

by Trisha Evans Staff Writer Plans are in the works for what is being dubbed a "second season" for the Theatre Department. One play, "Tongues and Savage Love," is the combination of two plays and is already in production, set to open 7:30 p.m. April 1 in Pegasus Theater.

The brand new second season is designed to give theater students a well-rounded career.

The shows will be of a smaller scale, including some works that are experimental and perhaps more provocative than the depai talent's main stage shows in Mitchell Hall, said Dr. Bob McGill, chairman of the Theatre Department.

"There is nothing barred.

There are no rules at this point," McGill said.

Usually, four main shows are produced during the regular season. The second season shows are not lavish but they will give the people who did not get cast a chance to perform, McGill said.

"Not everyone will go to Broadway," McGill said.

"They learn what it takes to put a show on. The collaboration that is necessary."

Collaboration is exactly what Daisy Nystul's intermediate acting class is doing.

Sixty people are involved in the play, including two student assistant directors, original music by a graduate student, student designers, two student costume designers and an origi-

nal light design.

Nystul will direct two plays written by Sam' Sheperd, "Tongues" and "Savage Love," that she has fused into one play.

"Tongues and Savage Love" is more avant-garde. "It is edgy, not at all naturalistic theater," Nystul said.

"It has good humor, poetry, (and) some dark notes. It's very cutting edge—very New York," Nystul said.

"This is probably the most abstract piece I've done," said Missy Hays, junior theater major who is in "Savage Love."

The Theatre Department has a hands-on philosophy, meaning the students are engaged in all aspects of the theatre, McGill said.

"It's a way for them to encapsulate all aspects of theater into one production," Nystul said.

Hays said "Savage Love" is about different types of love relationships.

McGill said the second season is a direct approach to speak directly to the audience. He said he would like to see plays performed in the pavilion by Broncho Lake or on the balcony at the alumni house.

Other plays scheduled for the second season are "Laundry and Bourbon" and "Japanese Worskshop."

Times and dates will be announced at a later date in the semester.

The 40th International Congress on Medieval Studies, at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, will feature a historically accurate Viking warp weighted loom created by Chris Petty, UCO Medieval Society president.

Warp weighted looms were in common use during the Neolithic era. Fabric for items such as clothing and ship sails were weaved with the warp weighted loom.

Petty said the loom took about 350 hours to complete after several weeks of research.

"There is nowhere to learn this. I am the only one in the U.S. that has built one, that I know of." .

Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for non-students. Performances will be March 8, 9 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. in Pegasus Theater of the Liberal Arts Building. Proceeds will go to the OKC YWCA and the Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.

"There is nowhere to learn this," Petty said. "I am the only one in the U.S. that has built one, that I know of. If there is anyone else that has, I would love to meet them."

The loom is called a warp weighted loom because the vertical threads, called the warp, attached to the loom are weighted to keep them taut.

Petty said that Dr. Stephen Law, Humanities and Philosophy chair approached her to build the loom three years ago.

"Dr. Law asked me if I was interested in building a Viking warp weighted loom," Petty said. "He told me to do the research and he would help build it."

The loom is about seven feet tall, or "as tall as the weaver can reach," Petty said.

She also said the loom is made from ash and cedar and disassembles easily for transport.

Joe Kennerly goes up against Geno Odom of East Central on Feb. 24.

The University of Central Oklahoma became the 2004-2005 Lone Star Conference North Division Champions with a win against East Central University on Feb. 24.

UCO defeated East Central University in a 102-79 victory.

Head Coach Terry Evans said, "That's been our goal since the beginning of the year in preseason conditioning. Our guys worked hard and they earned it. They deserved to win the conference."

Leading scorer Terry McVay said, "It's just an adrenaline rush. I've been playing this game for a long time, and I'm just happy that tonight was my night."

No. 23 McVay blasted by the ECU Tigers, booming three threepointers in a row, leading the Bronchos with 20 points, one block, and two steals.

Deshone Henderson sparked a four-point play that ignited a lategame 22-0 run that carried the UCO past East Central University.

UCO was already assured of at least a tie for the LSC North title going into the game, using the late boom to make sure there would be no sharing of the crown.

ECU never led during the game, but the Tigers didn't go down without a fight, overcoming an early 10-point deficit to stay close until the final minutes.

"The key was being able to contain. We really couldn't contain them all night, that's why the game stayed close as long as it did so late in the game. Then we went zone and that cooled them off," Evans said.

UCO hit 8-of-10 shots — including • 4-of-5 3-pointers — and all four free throw tries in the final 5:15 while the Tigers made just one of their last 13 field goal attempts.

UCO ended up shooting 67.9 percent 19-of-28 in the second half,

including a sizzling 71.4 percent from beyond the arc.

ECU missed its next three shots and UCO converted on the other end, with Henderson canning a short jumper, Kentrell Gaddis a lay-up and Tyler Phillips a three-pointer to make it 89-77 with 3:26 left.

Jason Greene continued the blaze with five consecutive points to make it 94-77. McVay hit back-to-back three-pointers to end the 22-0 run and make it 100-77 with 1:05 remaining.

McVay led the Bronchos with 20 points, hitting 5-of-8 three-pointers in his best outing since scoring a season-high 23 on Nov. 26.

"We all want to win and everybody is pulling together and we're all a family. It's just a great blessing to us that we're number one, and we're fixin' to get our rings. I have never won a ring and I have been playing basketball my entire life," McVay said.

Henderson finished with 19 points, while Gaddis had a dazzling shooting night — 4-of-4 from the field and 4-of-4 from the line — in adding 13.

Sam Belt, who averaged 23.2 points a game over the previous six games, scored 13 second-half points after going scoreless in the opening 20 minutes and Greene ended with 12 points and six assists.

Deshone Henderson scored seven points in the first three minutes as UCO jumped to a quick 12-2 lead, but ECU battled back and trailed just 39-35 at halftime.

Both ECU and UCO had five players sore in double figures; ECU was without their leading scorer Darren Randall, who averages 16.2 points a game.

Randall was dismissed from the team due to disciplinary reasons, said Brian John, ECU Sports information director.

Southeastern beats UCO Southeastern Oklahoma State

University handed Lone Star Conference North Division champion Central Oklahoma a 79-75 set:back Feb. 26.

The Savages scored the last seven points of the game and used a 22-6 scoring advantage at the free throw line to ravage the Bronchos winning ways.

The Bronchos overcame a 15point first-half deficit to the Savages.

UCO then jumped to a 75-72 lead with 2:59 remaining on a three-point play by Sam Belt.

UCO missed its final four shots and wouldn't score again.

SOSU tied it at 1:43 on a Chris Valliere three-pointer, followed a UCO miss with a lay-up by Eric Babers at 0:52 for a 77-75 lead and followed another UCO miss with two free throws and a 79-75 lead at 0:15.

The Bronchos misfired on two three-point tries in the final seconds, and the Savages held on for the upset.

Booming Terry McVay made four three-pointers and scored 17 points to lead UCO, while Deshone Henderson also had four treys and 16 points and Jason Greene had 10 ,points.

"We need to focus on defense. We all know that we have 13 guys that can score any given night, so defense is the main thing we have to work on.

If we all play hard and play defense, offense is going to come," McVay said.

SOSU also had a big advantage at the free throw line. The Savages hit 22-of-32 from the charity mark while the Bronchos were a mere 6-of-8.

The loss in the regular season finale ended UCO's seven-game winning streak, dropping the Bronchos to 21-6 on the year and 10-2 in the LSC North Division.

The Savages improved to 17-10 and 6-6.

Tournament hope born

by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer The University of Central Oklahoma got their tournament spot in the Lone Star Conference North defeating East Central 82-71on Feb. 24, in addition to a 78-64 victory over Southeastern Oklahoma State University Feb. 26.

UCO took the Lady Tigers inside Hamilton Field House on senior night and demonstrated aggressive low-post play as senior Lindsay Young dominated, posting a career high.

Kent Franz, ECU head coach, said, "We spent too much energy getting back in the game.

We were down by 13 twice in the first half. I thought we played very lackadaisical."

Young had a career-high 23 points, added a team-high 10 rebounds and also blocked three Lady Tiger shots.

Young said, "We knew that we needed to get our post game established, and the team did a great job of getting passes in to me and I just scored."

UCO Head Coach Shawn Williams said, "I didn't think their post players could handle her. She did a really good job against them last game, so I decided we're going to go inside to her and try to get her off early, and that's what happened."

"We were more prepared for their outside game, but they just took it to us low early and we almost looked , like we were inviting the ball to come in low," Franz said. "We knew they were the leading three point shooting team in the league, everybody knows that.

We certainly knew."

Senior Laura Hamilton had four three-pointers, 16 points and two blocks and blazing Jackee' Brown scorched 10 points, five assists and two blocks.

Hamilton said, "We're not ready for our season to be over. We know we are better than a lot of these teams we have lost to already.

We just had to come out and prove that we could win, and that's what we did."

UCO led by as much as 12 twice, but the Lady Tigers continued to prowl back.

At halftime, UCO lead 36-30, but the Lady Tigers rallied to take their first lead of the game at 43-42 with 15:22 remaining.

Meghan Craig put the Bronchos on top to stay with two free throws to ignite a 9-2 run that ended with UCO on top, 51-45 at the 11:27 mark.

ECU stayed close with 7:25 left to play, when Craig and Young hit back-to-back short jumpers that gave the Bronchos a 61-53 advantage, and UCO coasted in from there.

Young was virtually unstoppable underneath in the early going, scoring UCO's first three baskets on lay-ups and scored 10 points in the opening 10 minutes as the Bronchos opened up a 21-13 lead.

ECU alternated freshman Kristie Dodgion and Teleah Hines during the game to try and slow down the blazing Young but Young could not be stopped.

UCO rolls Savages On Feb. 26, Lindsey Wilson dropped a pair of treys in an early 12-2 run that gave UCO the lead. The Bronchos stampeded past the Southeastern Oklahoma Savages 78-64 in UCO's regular season finale.

UCO improved to 17-9 as Coach Shawn Williams and the Bronchos earned the most wins since going 18-10 in 1992-93 — and finished fourth in the Lone Star Conference North Division at 7-5.

Wilson had 17 points, three steals, two assists and two blocks for the Bronchos. Meghan Craig nailed 14 points, five assists and three steals, as Laura Hamilton banked 11 points, eight assists and five steals.

UCO forced 23 turnovers in the Broncho stampede and shot a solid 48.3 percent from the field.

The Lady Savages jumped out to an early 9-5 lead, but Wilson hit a three-pointer to ignite a 12-2 spurt that dashed any hopes the lady savages had of coming any closer than 12.

Craig and Lindsay Young added lay-ups and Wilson ended the romp with another trey that gave the Bronchos a 15-11 lead at the 15:29 mark.

Jackee' Brown said, "Everyone was ready to play and we just came out, and we knew we had to win it. We had to win these next two games to make it to the conference playoffs, so we knew what we had to do."

The Bronchos earned a berth in the LSC Postseason Tournament and will go to San Angelo, Texas Tuesday to take on South Division champion Angelo State in a first round game. The Rambelles beat UCO 69-60 on Dec. 9 in Edmond.

The second-seeded and fourth-ranked Lochner, returning to action for the first time since Jan. 22, used a first-period takedown for a 2-1 semifinal win over Ashland's Ryan Kirst.

He will meet top seed and No. 3-ranked Plamen Paskalev of CMSU in the finals.

Top-seeded powerhouse LeadingFox had a pair of takedowns in a 7-1 semifinal win over CMSU's Daniel Moore and will battle No. 2 Aldo Campea of Ashland in the finals.

UCO lost four first-round matches to lower seeded or unseeded opponents.

The fourth-seeded Caruthers dropped a 4-1 decision to No. 5 Mitch Aring of Findlay, with No. 3 Goodwin falling 4-3 to sixth-seed Pete Carnabuci of Ashland on a late takedown.
