The Student Voice Since 1903
Women Hear them roar! By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Women's Suffrage Movement, the Oklahoma Women's Summit II was held at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 in UCO's University Center Ballroom. The event commemorated the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. "The passage of the 19th Amendment is one of the most significant achievements in American history," said Claudia Tarrington, chair of the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women. "The ratification was the culmination of a 72-year nonviolent strategic campaign to give half the people in this country
full citizenship," she said. UCO's first lady, Donna Nigh, was one of seven women inducted into the Oklahoma Women's Hall of Fame in a ceremony that was part of the celebration. "She (Donna Nigh) contributed over 30 years of public service to Oklahoma, not only as a spouse of a public official, but in her own right," said Kathi Goabe, senior vice chair of the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women. Nigh focused primarily on helping the physically challenged, said Goabe. Also inducted into the Hall of Fame were Nancy Goodman Feldman, Barbara J. Gardner, Ruthe Blalock Jones, Mona Salyer Lambird, Gloria Grace Langdon and Bernice Compton Mitchell.

UCO's student newspaper, The Vista has taken on a new look, beginning with the first issue of the fall semester. It will now be published off campus at The Edmond Sun. The Vista will be printed on newsprint instead of the previously-used heavy white bond
paper. The decision was made to save money, said Mark Hanebutt, the paper's adviser. The Vista is doing its part to streamline the university's departmental expenses in the face

Who wears the pants in your house? / f today's fashion is anything to go by, both men and women do. Judging from recent surveys of both sexes, the concept ' of equality in the household has never had it so good. This generation has seen the emergence of the New Man—one who cooks and cleans and changes diapers. So why are women still complaining? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that women are still earning a paltry 77 cents for every dollar men make. Or perhaps it's because in certain countries—even in those that claim to be 'developed'—women_ continue to be barred from federal elections. This is, however, not a call for women to suit themselves up in army fatigues and go prove it to the world that whatever men can do, they can do it twice as well. Yet if any good has come out of the Shannon Faulkner brouhaha, it's that the way has now been paved for other likeminded women to follow suit, if they so choose. What the women's suffrage movement boils down to, basically, is that women be given the freedom of choice: the freedom to vote, the freedom to work, the freedom to extend their influence beyond the threshold of the family. And especially pertinent to present times—the freedom to be different and to celebrate those differences. To illustrate at least one of those differences, here's a joke borrowed and paraphrased from C-SPAN: President Bill Clinton and presidential hopefuls Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich needed an edge over each other, so they manipulated foreign policy and procured a genie to grant them their wishes. "Make me 25 percent smarter," said Clinton to the genie. "Your wish is granted," said the genie, who did not have proper travel documents and knew it wise to please the President. So Clinton became 25 percent smarter. Dour-faced Dole decided that if Clinton could be 25 percent smarter, there's no reason why he couldn't be 50 percent smarter. And so it was—in the blink of an eye, Dole got his wish. Not to be outdone, Gingrich told the genie, "You have made Clinton and Dole cleverer than they were, although you had little to work with. Now make me 100 percent smarter!" The genie said to the Speaker of the House, "Are you sure you are ready for this?" "Stop asking so many questions. You are speaking to he who robbed children of their school lunches, took money away from college students and denied women the right to equal opportunity. Now do as I say." "Okay, but you asked for it," shrugged the genie. So with a poof and a puff and tons of hot air, Newt Gingrich /became a woman.

Building of pedestrian trails to begin on campus 4*P.M4t9
44,
By John Clanton
Staff Writer ;;; 1 41:3?1
A system of trails designed for bicycles and pedestrians will soon be constructed at UCO. The proposed trails will cross and connect with the emergency vehicle roads currently being built, said Jean Benson, executive assistant to the vice president for administration. The $546,000 project will be funded in part by a $350,000 grant from the Oklahoma Department of
Transportation, which will also be in charge of building the trails. The remaining $196,000 will be paid by UCO and the money is in the bank and waiting, said Benson. The original plans for the trails were to cost $778,000, but the project was scaled down because the grant from the Deptartment of Transportation was smaller than expected, said Benson. The trails are primarily for pedestrians, but altemate forms of transportation such as bicycles and rollerblades will also be allowed,
said Benson. The construction of the trails will have to be appropriately timed with the construction of the library and the new Education Building. The trails to be constructed on campus will serve as an integral part of the Edmond Greenway System, which will consist of bicycle and pedestrian trails around the Edmond community. The projected date for completion is Dec. 1995.

Campaign UCO to raise funds, reducing reliance on public funding
Dr. Nancy Hughes discusses the successful result of Campaign UCO, the first campus fundraiser of its kind. (Staff photo by Joy By Susan Reger Staff Writer

period which will reduCe the university's dependence on public funding and make it possible to offer more and better-funded scholarships, said Dr. Nancy Hughes, executive director of the foundation. The first phase, which began Jan. 1, 1995, was a commitment of $328,000 by UCO Foundation board members, said Hughes. Board contributions are unrestricted, which allows the money to be used where the foundation feels it is most needed, said Hughes. "The second phase, headed by Dr. Herb Giles, professor of marketing and Dr. Deanna Land, dean of students, generated a total of $194, 656 from faculty and staff as of Aug. 3," said Hughes. "The figures exceed the original challenge goals in both groups." We began the campaign by approaching people closest to UCO, knowing we could not recruit funds from outside businesses in the community without a show of

Hughes. "The final phase will continue with the support of alumni and a nationwide target of foundations and corporations." Hughes said targeting foundations nationwide through grant requests will be a very important part of this campaign. UCO is a 'cultural center in the metro area with an economic impact estimated at $130 million, she said. President George Nigh said the strengths of UCO include the fact that UCO is the university of choice in the metro area, has reasonably priced tuition, and an outstanding faculty. Another priority is the university's accommodation to students' needs for education with a variety of course times including weekends, said Nigh. Hughes said her personal priority is to increase the percentage of funds alloted to requests from students.

internal support, said Hughes. Land said staff loyalty towards UCO was exceptional and that faculty and staff donations could be designated to the area of choice, including specific or general scholarships, endowed funds, or a certain department. Hughes said she is hopeful to reach the halfway mark by Christmas 1995 and attributes much of the success to the leadership of President George Nigh. "President Nigh has given the university visibility," said Hughes. "The community can see things are changing and how much the university has to offer." The beneficiaries of Campaign UCO include four areas: faculty/staff development, technology/laboratory development, scholarship and program funding, and a general contingency fund, said Hughes. "The third phase will raise funds from Edmond and Oklahoma City businesses and UCO alumni, said

Long battle fought for women's right to vote Of combat boots and nail polish By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer On Aug. 27, 1920, Alice Mary Robertson, a teacher and cafeteria owner from Muskogee, Okla., told Tulsa World that "since the men forced the vote on us, we'll see if they mean it." Apparently, they did. By January of the following year, Robertson became the first woman elected to Congress. However, a recent poll by the U.S. News & World Report (Aug. 14, -1995) revealed that Oklahoma is now at the low end of women holding political office. Women's issues today have changed along with the times. The same issue of the U.S. News & World Report states that half of all women worry about making ends meet. Women still earn less than men. The majority of women who work outside the home earn less than $25,000 annually. They worry about gangsta rap, the school system and losing control of their children. This is in sharp contrast to the concerns of women 75 years ago, when the 19th Amendment was signed into law on Aug. 26, 1920, giving every woman in America the right to vote. "By the beginning of this century, women's argument for the vote was that they came in peace, were not pro-war and they had a moral and social responsibility that men (who could vote) were not likely to have," said Dr. Jere W. Roberson, professor of history at UCO. Women then were not only asking for the right to vote, but were also asking for the abolition of certain laws. These were laws that gave a husband sole custody of his wife and of all her personal
property, and exclusive control and guardianship of their children. "The state legislature that finally made the decision to ratify (the amendment) was the state of Tennessee. The resolution was carried 49 to 47," Robetson said. Women's fight for their rights began as early as the mid 1800s, with such well-known historical figures as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. It ended a generation later when the National American Women's Suffrage Association , organized by Carrie Chapman Catt, won women the right to vote. According toVictory, a book by the National American Women's Suffrage Association, the first Women's Rights Convention was held in October 1850. This was during the period of the Abolitionists, the early temperance movement and the building of the railroad. Without the aid of modern conveniences such as the airplane, car or telephone, women traveled the country encouraging other women to fight for their rights. They gained votes for the federal amendment and helped put it on the ballot in every state. Ten years later, New York and several other northern states granted women the rights to their own property, earnings and the guardianship of their children. Ironically, there are still many countries today in which women are second-class citizens and do not have the right to vote. "It's interesting that Switzerland to this very day does not allow all women to vote in federal elections. Although all women can vote in local elections, only a select few can vote in federal elections," Robertson said.
By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer I think of myself as a feminine feminist. Why? Because unlike Shannon Faulkner, I have no desire to put on a pair of combat boots and march around a parade ground when the heat index is around the 100 mark. That doesn't mean I don't believe in equal rights for
Column women. Oh no! If I were a big strapping gal of say 180 pounds, and I wanted to be a construction worker—I'd go for it, and if I
was doing the same work as a man, I'd expect equal pay. Fortunately, I'm not big enough to do what is still considered a man's job, and besides, wearing a hard hat would flatten my hair. I'm a feminine feminist because I love being a woman. I'm not interested in competing with men on a physical level. I compete at my own level. Some people think women are not equal to men. Not me! I think it's the other way around. Men are not equal to women. I expect a guy to open doors for me; it's a common courtesy. After all, I'd do the same for him—if his hands were full.
Most men are physically stronger than women. However, when it comes to emotional resilience, women win hands down. I look at Shannon Faulkner and I ask myself, why does this woman want to live and compete with hundreds of sweaty, grunting men? If she wants equality for women, why doesn't she compete as a woman? So Shannon, my advice to you is to thumb your nose at the Citadel, forget that old drab military uniform, get your hair done, paint your toe nails red and go tell the world—I am woman, watch me now.

She now owns and operates the Broncho Press Publishing Company of Edmond and teaches editing and publishing poetry at UCO.

College beginnings make strong impact By Pam McKeown Guest Writer
•
For many students, the first semester of college is one that either "makes or breaks" their chances of having a successful college experience. If loneliness or frustrations become constant companions too quickly, students might not return the second semester. The transition from high school to college can be eased, however, by taking a number of appropriate steps, said Peggy Foster, director of Student Support Services at UCO. Students from rural areas, especially, may benefit by choosing a smaller school—such as a junior or community college—for the first year or two of general studies. "In smaller communities, a large support system is usually available in the form of close family, friends or church alliances," said Foster. "By attending a small college first, rural students are more likely to build solid relationships that will meet their social needs." Making the transition from high school to college is one of life's more stressful events. With it goes all the expectations for achievement that parents may have placed on their child and, on the 'Child's part, fear of not meeting those expectations. Foster gave these tips for firsttime college students: • Get involved. "Getting involved is the key to 'fitting in' at college," said Foster. "Students must find social outlets to meet their needs, whether that involves joining a study group, an intermural athletic team, a church or simply visiting with others in class or at the dormitory."
•

Engineering students design, build better kaigs
H
ow many times have you been at a party and the keg splutters foam just when it's your turn for a beer? Those days may be over, now that a trio of engineering students at the Rochester Institute of Technology have designed a keg tap that shows how much fluid — down to the gallon — is left in the barrel. "I thought of this idea a few years back during my more social college days," said Ray Tesiero, 25, a fifthyear mechanical engineering student. "I joked around back then about making a tap that tells you when you're running on empty. I decided to take a more serious look at the concept for my senior design project." RIT's mechanical engineering Senior Design course, which lasts for two quarters, requires students to draft a project design and build a prototype. Other students developed an airbag to prevent injuries. The keg team reconstructed an ordinary tap by adding a gauge that measures two pressure levels and indicates the level of beer left. They made it easy to assemble and clean and resistant to banging and other abuse. Their prototype works equally well on halfand quarter-barrels and, best of all, doesn't create foam. The three students, Tesiero, 23-year-old Dave Kneale and 24-year-old Joe Daniels, anticipate that party hosts and bartenders will benefit from their design. "There is just no other accurate way to tell how much beer is left," Kneale said. "When we proposed the project in class I'm not sure that people took us seriously," said Daniels. "But we did and found a solution that meets a legitimate need. We succeeded in creating a marketable product that we're going to patent." on

lthough Carla Gomez has not taken her first law class yet, she's trying to piece together a defense strategy for the man who stands accused of the worst act of terrorism on U.S. soil. Gomez and other students at the University of San Francisco School of Law are fighting out the legal fate of Timothy McVeigh, who will stand trial next month for his role in the Oklahoma City bombings. The student's professor, Robert Talbot, is using the high-profile case to orientate his students to the workings of the U.S. legal system before they begin law school in the fall. Instead of filling his summer orientation class with legal case histories, Talbot says he prefers giving his students some hands-on involvement. Like the O.J. class before them, Talbot's current crop of entering law students has been split up into two sections— those who will defend McVeigh and those who will prosecute him. Each side is responsible for structuring a case, which is put together with the aid of background material provided by Talbot, and will battle it out in a mock trial before the school year begins. "We'll be saying that he is not sane, not mentally capable of what he did because he's not fully aware of his action," said Gomez. Gary Incs will be on the prosecution team, who will be seeking a first-degree murder conviction. -A bomb of that stature had to be constructed with knowledge of the damage it would do. McVeigh knew the difference between right and wrong and the ramifications of his actions," said Incs. Already, Incs says he views his future in law school in a different light. "We have an opportunity to see what law is like in a practical experience," Incs says. "Being a part of this trial makes you remember why you want to go to law school in the first place." on

O'Neill to play two sports By Michael P. Patrick
Sports Editor Last season, freshman Kate O'Neill amassed senior level statistics while starting for the UCO volleyball team. In 1995 she plans to take on yet another challenge—basketball. "I was recruited out of Blue Valley Northwest High School in Kansas City for both volleyball and basketball," said O'Neill. "It was just one of those situations where people expected me to play basketball because I was tall...it became a job, that's why I chose to play volleyball." By the end of her rookie season as a Broncho, O'Neill was second on the team in kills with 345 and hit .500 percent or better in 17 matches. She also had 11 matches with five or more total blocks and excelled during the LSC championships, helping UCO win its first-ever league title. O'Neill's success in the 1994 season resulted in her winning coFreshman of the Year honors and is the current pre-season pick as the 1995 player of the year by the LSC. She said her goal for the 1995 volleyball season is to live up to pre-season expectations. "From what I've heard, a lot of the people who have been Lady Bronchos' Kate O'Neill prepares for volleyball practice with nominated in the pre-season don't coach Mark Herrin. O'Neill will also play basketball this year. (Staff end the season with the award," photo by Joy McNutt) O'Neill said. "My intentions are to get it." O'Neill said she is excited for the challenge of playing two sports.
"I have always enjoyed playing volleyball, though in high school I felt as if was a better basketball player, "O'Neill said. Though O'Neill was not recruited by UCO to play basketball, an intramural game left women's basketball coach John Keely anxious to suit her up. "I was able to watch her play basketball during the intramural season and her playing ability impressed me. I proposed the idea of playing basketball to her and she accepted," he said. Keely said he is excited for O'Neill to become a part of the squad. "We plan on giving her a break, then would like to see her in a postup role and act as a rebounder," he said. O'Neill said the added pressure of playing two sports will be welcomed. "I played three sports in high school and I feel as if I perform at my best when I really have to watch my time," she said. O'Neill said the transition may prove to be difficult. "I haven't played in a year and expect to behind on skill level, but I think I can catch on.

Dr. George Avellano, dean of the UCO Graduate College and chairman of marketing, has been named UCO faculty athletic representative to the NCAA Division H and the Lone Star Conference. Avellano, replacing Paul Roach who retired as UCO assistant professor of marketing and faculty athletic representative, was appointed by UCO president George Nigh upon the recommendation of Skip Wagnon, UCO athletic director. "He is very interested in athletics and has been for a long time," said Wagnon. "He is very knowledgeable of what goes on in sports." As faculty athletic representative, Avellano is responsible for making sure that students qualify for the NCAA academic requirements. "We have a very strong athletic program at UCO," said Avellano. "I plan to maintain UCO's level of excellence in sports and to keep up its academic integrity."

Katana (a 10,000-year-old princess) begin to fall in love. One of the chief problems in the movie, however, was the way the directors tried to hold the audience in suspense, even though everyone in the audience knew what was going to happen. Video game buffs will be deeply disappointed in the quick demise of two of the best characters in the game, Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Equally disappointing is the fact that Scorpion and Sub-Zero are bitter enemies, yet they fight together as Shang Tsung's warriors. These two should have battled it out at some point in the
movie. Surprisingly, the only really exciting fight scene was the one between Scorpion and Johnny Cage. Obviously, there is no chance of giving away the ending as it is clear at the outset who will win. It is even more obvious if you have played the game. Overall, Mortal Kombat was a bomb—it is basically a bunch of mediocre fights set to upbeat rave music that will send the kids karate-chopping their way out of the theater and adults wishing they had spent $3 to rent the game instead.

Hypnotist brings fun and education to UCO through audience participation By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer With bright lights in their faces, _their eyelids growing heavy and their breathing becoming rhythmic, Dr. R.E. Bellows' soothing voice sends eight adults into a hypnotic state. Soon these UCO students became thumb-sucking, three-yearold children singing "the itsy bitsy spider." This was the scene on the evening of Aug. 22 in the University Center Ballroom as Bellows entertained students, courtesy of the Student Programming Board. Bellows, with his wife Ellen, visit almost 200 institutions a year, hypnotizing those who are willing. This silver-haired, Christian hypnotist uses his knowledge of psychology for more than entertainment. Bellows often assists people in physical healing through hypnosis as well. Bellows has helped people with everything, from kicking their 'smoking habits to controlling their weight. "I can't make a person do anything under hypnosis. I can help them, but they have to want to do it," he said. Bellows once hypnotized a 64year-old man in preparation for surgery. "We're not anti-medicine," said
Bellows. When a person has a bad heart, hypnosis can be a safe alternative to conventional anaesthesia, he said. The man suffered a serious hernia rupture and because he had a bad heart, he was unable to take a drug to alleviate his pain. He was in surgery for one hour and 47 minutes, said Bellows, and he felt no pain, only a tickling sensation. The patient was awake and aware of his surroundings throughout the operation, said Bellows. Ellen Bellows knows firsthand what surgery through hypnosis is like. A vivacious woman who has learned the discipline of selfhypnosis, she had a small cancerous tumor removed from her forehead, with only her mind to ease the pain. "You hear everything and you feel the doctor's touch," she said. "And when he cut me open, I could feel pressu,re but there wasn't any pain." Joanne Dobler, a nursing instructor specializing in psychiatric mental health at UCO, agrees that hypnosis is a safe alternative to traditional anaesthesia. "Anytime you put a drug into your body, it can be dangerous," she said. Despite his success in assisting
with surgeries, Dr. Bellows still considers his greatest success lies with his work in drug rehabilitation. While an addict is under hypnosis, Bellows gives suggestions to his brain that drugs are not a priority anymore and that his body no longer needs it. Since 1973, he has helped rehabilitate over 1,200 drug addicts. On April 5, Dr. Bellows suffered a severe stroke which left his right side temporarily paralyzed and unable to continue his work at the rehabilitation clinic. He is now devoting his time to regaining the use of his right hand and arm while visiting schools to teach drug prevention. With 34 years' experience in psychology and hypnosis, the doctor admits, "It isn't any power that I've got, it's their minds." OS

of budget cuts and increasing costs, he said. The Vista hopes to become self, • supportive and financially independent in the far future, he said. The paper has also been reduced
in dimension by five percent. Advertising, which determines the number of pages in each issue, is expected to rise from 25-30 percent to between 40-50 percent. However, the paper will still maintain its current columns. Previews and reviews of upcoming and new blockbuster movies will
be featured every Tuesday. "Around Town," a column highlighting events and activities for the week, and reviews on new CDs provided by Randy's M&M, will run every Thursday. A new column called "Kudos and Hard Knocks" will soon make its debut. This reader-oriented
column will feature comments of praise and/or criticism from students, staff and faculty regarding situations on and around campus. Letters can be submitted to The Vista, Room 107 of the Communications Building, or calls can be placed to Cynthia Chung, managing editor, at 341-2980, Ext.

Physical plant director selected to safety council By Mike Gustafson Staff Writer
Safety Policy Council (WSPC) by Brenda Reneau, state labor commissioner. Don Powers, director of safety As a member of the WSPC, and environmental management at Powers will represent all Oklahoma UCO, has-recently been selected to public schools; from elementary to serve as a member of the Worker higher education, in their effort to
develop safety as an everyday occurrence. The WSPC was started in 1994, by the passing of House Bill 1447, with the goal of increasing safety in the workplace. "This will enable businesses to
reduce the cost of worker compensation, business insurance, and medical cost, " said Powers. Powers, who is also the president of the Oklahoma Campus Safety Association, recommends that UCO students, especially
business management majors, enroll in safety education classes. "Every dollar invested in safety education can get four or more dollars in return for businesses," said Powers.

Walk-in enrollment available next year By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer. Next year, UCO students will be able to walk up to a self-service station and with a punch of a computer key, enroll themselves, drop or add classes, look at their student status and more. The technology fee, implemented this fall of $4 per credit liour, will pay for extra terminals, software and printers. These will create the selfenrollment system, said Jerry Legere, UCO assistant vice president of enrollment management. "In the technology fee plan we are committed to adding terminals as our first . step of the selfenrollment process," said Legere. Legere said software will be added to the existing system already available for student use. "When the self-enrollment system is up and running, we should have 26 terminals in all for
student use," he said. Legere said the new selfenrollment computers will be easy for students to use. "The computer screens will be menu-driven so that the student can follow along and make their selection," he said. "The_possibilities of different services in this system are endless. "It's something that we can build on as the need arises," he said. Legere said students will no longer have to go to just enroll. "We're looking at putting these terminals in different buildings that are convenient for student use," he said. Legere said self-enrollment was created to accommodate students. "This system will cut the students' time in half and make enrollment much more desirable and hassle-free."
pedestrians - who claim they have almost been hit by vehicles, said Lt. Hayes Forbes of the UCO Police Department. The campus police will be monitoring the area, making sure that drivers and pedestrians follow traffic laws. "At this point, we are looking for a new way to keep the area
safe," said Forbes. "Our goal is for drivers and pedestrians to respect each other." According to Oklahoma traffic laws, each of the following violations may result in a fine: -Failing to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. -Pedestrians failing to yield to vehicles not at a crosswalk.
-Pedestrians leaving a place of safety into the path of a vehicle. -Passing another vehicle yielding to a pedestrian. "Our main concern is that no harm comes to anybody," said Burpee. "Our goal is a safe campus."
