Webb revives yearbook with administrative funds
T
hough it will be different, UCO's yearbook is back in business.Tuesday, UCO President Roger Webb met with Dr. Sherri Massey, Bronze Book adviser, and Dr. Terry Clark, chairman of the journalism department, about reviving the yearbook. "President Webb said he would provide the funding," Massey said. "But we'll still have to take some advertising and do some fund raising." Webb said the new funding for the yearbook would come from administration. "The money will come from the president's office," Webb said. The decision to eliminate the Bronze Book came earlier this year and was based on objections to funding coming from the student activity fund, said Dr. Deanna Land, dean of students and chairperson of the Campus Activity Budget Committee. The committee,made up of faculty, administrators and students, made the recommendation to discontinue the yearbook. The final vote to terminate the project came from former president George Nigh. "It was decided we could do a slick, soft-cover, Webb magazine-style book," Massey said. "It will be more of a senior book than a yearbook." Besides having a soft-cover, Massey said the new yearbook will be different than in years past. "It will be cheaper," she said. "We haven't established a price yet, but the book will only be about half the size it was." She also indicated the name of the book may change and that the university will be taking bids to have the volume printed locally. "We'll still have senior pictures, department pictures, feature stories, and will cover group activities on campus," Massey said. Massey More production details will be discussed in another meeting later this week. Webb said seniors who have a picture in the yearbook will be entitled to a free copy of the volume. "I think it's a nice gesture," he said. "You're only a senior once." No date has been set for publication, but Massey said she hopes the book will be available in the late spring or early summer of 1998. 41

Special Education faculty gets grant By Jim Hulsey Staff Writer
A
$20,000 grant was recently presented to the UCO Special Education faculty from the State Department of Education to develop new teaching programs that will benefit students with disabilities. The Collaboration to Improve Competencies in Education Grant was established to develop educational guidelines leading to new state certification programs. The program will be designed to meet changes made by the Oklahoma Commission on Teacher Preparation, —By Steven E. Wedel said Dr. Donna Kearns, assistant professor of Staff Writer curriculum & instruction.
"Ideally, this is what they would like the university to teach and students coming out of the universities to learn, so they may be more competent in teaching," said Retta Threet, president of Student Council for Exceptional Children. A representative for the National Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) met with special education faculty members and educators from areas around Oklahoma on Friday. To address areas of competence required by the CEC and discussed methods to provide new programs for students in special education, said Threet. "The whole idea is to collaborate between the teachers out in the field and the university professors, so we can get the best of both worlds," said Threet.

O
ct. 5-11 is National Newspaper Week and The Vista, like thousands of newspapers across the country, will be taking the opportunity to blow its own horn. Since 1940, Newspaper Association Managers, Inc. (NAM) has been promoting the week as a way of reminding readers and advertisers of the importance of a free press. Since we've expressed our views on freedom of the press in recent issues, we've decided to acknowledge all the people who make this paper possible. First there is the news/editorial staff. All of the articles, editorials and features in The Vista are written by our staff of journalism students. They keep up with campus, local and national issues to try to bring the reader stories that help simplify and interpret issues of interest to them. They also take photos to help readers put names with faces and look at college life from an interesting perspective. Our advertising department consists of sales people and managers who work with local businesses to help them attract customers and sell merchandise. Whether they are looking for a new job or a new place to eat, people rely on ads to help them make choices everyday. Our circulation people get the newspapers out to our faithful readers every Tuesday and Thursday morning—even in the rain. The Vista office staff answers the phones, coordinates our schedules and works with the budget. Our adviser answers our questions and gives us journalistic advice that helps keep us out of trouble while never comprising our right to make our own decisions. Without the cooperative effort of these folks, and the university that supports them, the paper might never come out.

Power outages create inconveniences By Jim Hulsey Staff Writer
S
elect employees of UCO were told to go home early Monday due to the power outage that left several buildings on the south side of the campus without power. The power outage, which was the second one within a week, was due to a failing metering transformer, located on Second Street. The report came to the attention of Edmond utilities services at 5:42 p.m. Electricity was restored at 11 p.m. said Charles Burgett, Edmond electric utilities director. Dr. David Bridge, chairperson for the college of math and statistics, said this is the second time within a weeks time they have lost power. The other
Vooti
outage was Sept. 11. "Other than the darkness and frustration, the students were elated for the opportunity to go home early," said Bridge. The two major concerns at the University Center Tuesday morning, other than the heat, were the status of computer data and the safety of refrigerated food storage. The food storage doors were kept closed shortly after the power failure to insure the food's safety. The cold storage containers will keep food safe for a period of 48 hours, said A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services. Although there were rumors of computer information data being lost, Rahman said he was unaware of any lost data from the power outage.
Evelyn Wilson, dean of Enrollment Services, and Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment, said they had received no reports of lost computer data due to the power outage. Paul Patrick of enrollment support systems in the University Center said that the UPS backup batteries allowed the extra 10 to 15 minutes of reserve power needed to prevent data loss. Vicki Addison, secretary for Dr. Patricia LaGrow, said no classes were in session at the time of the power failure. The only inconvenience was having to re-boot their computer system server. Buildings affected by the power failure were Howell Hall, Math and Computer Science and Coyner Health Science and the University Center. 4

Former Secretary of State speaks about U.S. foreign policy By Yulia Mineeva
Student Writer "We are still the most significant power, but we now find ourselves in an entirely different environment," said Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Kissinger spoke recently at the University of Oklahoma conference "Preparing America's Foreign Policy for the 21st century." Kissinger spoke primarily about America's role in the world. "America should develop further relations with all major and medium economic powers," he said. The U.S. economy makes 22 percent of the world's gross economic product and in the past it made 50 percent, Kissinger said. "Kissinger believed that the United States should look at countries as nations, not as ideological units." said Dr. XiaoBing Li, assistant professor of UCO's history and geography department, "He believed that the United States
should have to look at national interests growth is 10 percent a year and the gross of many nations in the world." added Dr. national product of the United States is James Baker, chairman/professor of 2.5 percent, China will not be stronger UCO's department of history and than the U.S. for many years, he said. geography, Kissinger came to the United States as China's president is coming to the a 15-year-old boy from Germany.

Even since he was involved in foreign policy though in China the current rate of decision making and maintaining the —
prominent position of the United States in relation with other countries, said Dr. Louis Furmanski, chairman/associate professor of UCO's political science department. He was an exponent of realism. But Kissinger has revised his theory of balance of power, which he created as a scholar, said Baker. The more economic and military power the nation has, the stronger influence it has in the world according to Kissinger, said Li. Power between nations is not distributed equally, and the balance of power should provide peace. According to Kissinger's theory, the United States could continue to fight in the Vietnam war, said Li. But Kissinger made his theory more practical by trying to stop the war by negotiating with the USSR and China, he said. He dealt with them separately as countries with their own national interests, not as a single communist camp, Li said. Kissinger's policy began to change relations between the USSR and the United States.

Repairs fall short of solving continuing Annual Career Day Set campus air conditioning problems By Colby Grieser Staff Writer
D
espite recent repairs, the continued lack of air conditioning in several buildings on campus has left many students and faculty questioning the efficiency of the new system. Facilities Management has been attempting to fix the problems and has made some progress. The buildings affected are: •the Communications Connection • the Library • the new Education Building • the Human Environmental Science Building • the Science Lab •the new additions to the University Center. The system that supplies the cooling and heating to these buildings, the central plant, runs on two 450-pound absorbers. The main problem with the system was that one of the absorbers wasn't working. Now, the absorber has been
fixed and Facilities Management is trying to keep it running on a constant basis, said Farrell Rosson, assistant director of Facilities Management. "We don't feel 100 percent that it will run consistently as it should," he said. They have been able to keep it running for 12 hours without failure. When it did quit running, the failures it had were minor, said Rosson. "We are very encouraged that the two absorbers will run consistently with each other. This will help reduce problems with the central plant output," he said. The question that remains is whether this will affect the heat this winter. "It's too early to tell, but if the other absorber works, that will help," said Rosson. Another problem Facilities Management had was with the design criterion of the project that was made available to the University by the design firm, PSA.
The university didn't forward the criterion to the various contractors that were hired to do individual projects within the buildings. The criterion was needed for all the buildings so they would have consistency within the system, said Rosson. The other problems they've been having include an intermixing of hot and cool water within the system that isn't allowing the air to get cool; and there is ground water getting into the various vaults and pits around campus which is heating the water needed to chill the air for the air conditioning, he said. They're still having problems with the intermixing of water and if they get the absorbers working together consistently, it may help, said Rosson. They have hired Matherly Mechanical to fix the problems with the ground water and they should begin the process within the next few days, he said.
S
tudents will have a chance to meet with future employers and get tips on finding a job at Career Day from 9 a.m.-I:30 p.m. Oct. 8 on the second and third floors of the University Center. Career Day is an annual event sponsored by the College of Business Administration and will be open to all students. Over 60 businesses will have booths set up to provide information about their company and to let students know what they're looking for in an employee, she said. "It's a great networking opportunity and there are more companies coming than we've ever had said Durant. To start the morning there will be a breakfast from 8-9 a.m. in the University Center. Robert J. Geresi, CEO and president of New York Bagel Enterprises, will speak to students about how he started his business as a college student, said Jackie Durant, special events coordinator. There will also be several rooms set up for interviews, students should be dressed in professional attire and bring their resumes, she said. Several major companies will attend including Red Lobster and The Wall Street Journal from Dallas, Xerox Business Services and Kerr McGee Corporation, said Durant. "A Dress for Success seminar will be conducted on what to wear to an interview and a workshop on resume writing will also be available for students. Tickets for the breakfast are $4.

Depression screenings offered at UCO to area residents By Jim Hulsey Staff Writer
F
ee screenings for depression will be offered to Edmond residents from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 9 in Room 312 of the University Center. For the third year, UCO will provide qualified mental health professionals to conduct the screenings. Participants will learn about depression, take a written screening test, review the test results with a clinician and receive a referral if appropriate said Jan Chapel, coordinator of UCO's Counseling services. "Nobody is immune to depression. It affects about 18 million people each year," said Chapel. Video presentations designed to teach students to recognize symptoms of drepression, will be shown during the day, on the first floor of the Education building and on the first floor of the University Center, said
Chapel. "Depression is a serious medical illness that can interfere with concentration, energy level, work performance and family life and which may become chronic if left untreated," said Chapel. It is a multi-faceted disorder, with biological, psychological and environmental factors, said Chapel. It involves body, mood, thought and behavior. Common symptoms of depression include: •A persistent sad, anxious or "empty" mood 'Feeling of hopelessness and pessimism 'Feeling of guilt, worthlessness and helplessness 'Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities once enjoyed, including sex 'Insomnia, early morning awakening or oversleeping 'Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain 'Decreased energy, fatigue 'Thoughts of death, suicide or

It doesn't cancer, but to have those things put in matter what we've done. If it hurts us, we your body just for cosmetic reasons seems absurd. have to find someone else to blame. People have smoked for decades But who is really to blame? We're afraid to point into the mirror despite evidence it is harmful to health. They get sick, and we have thousands of and accuse ourselves. Why should we? If we can put the class-action lawsuits filed against blame for our own mistakes on someone cigarette manufacturers. The tobacco industry did not light else, that's great. If we can make that someone else pay us a lot of money, that's every cigarette and force it into the mouths of all the smokers who are suing even better. Women who are dissatisfied with the them.

The silicone companies did not hunt class-action lawsuits.
American Home Health, Inc., the makers of fen-phen, did not put their pills in the mouths of people with weight problems and make them swallow. How can a person justify suing the makers of fen-phen when they chose to put a mind-altering chemical into their bodies? We wanted an instant cure to a health problem we ignored for years, and we embraced fen-phen as that cure. Common sense should tell us we cannot expect a chemical to solve a problem that developed over years. What's wrong with this picture? We are not taking personal responsibility for our actions. These "victims" who are filing suits did what they wanted to do and now they don't want to face the consequences for their actions. The solutions to most of these health problems are simple, but they won't bring us a windfall of unearned cash. We have to look at ourselves, at what we're doing, how we're living, and realize that we are responsible for our own behavior.

Research made easier through Internet Service
I
f you've ever tried to do any research on the Internet, you know it can be a time-consuming and tricky proposition. After surfing for hours and still not getting what you need or not finding a quotable source, usually you end up at the library (of all places). As a student in the journalism department, I frequently need background material or statistics for a story . I've researched topics like grade inflation, the dwindling rainforests, divorce rates, homeopathic medicine and even UFO's. I've tried both online and traditional sources. Overwhelmingly, the most information came from my trip to the library—until now.
A downloading network, JUMBO!, recently added a research section, Homework Heaven, to their web site. Homework Heaven was the brainchild of college senior Ed Tsigal. While trying vainly to find information for a paper, he realized what was needed was a site devoted to research for students. Tsigal's employer, JUMBO! Downloading Network, agreed, approved the idea and appointed him team leader of the project. It took a team of 14 high school and college students eight months to complete the programming of Homework Heaven. The site boasts some pretty impressive features such as access to: • Thousands of full text books,
magazines, documents and periodicals (including such well-known publications as Time, U.S. News and World Report, People...) • Hundreds of museums, special academic archives, government and university research sites (including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Art Gallery, the American Museum of Natural History...) • Interactive dictionaries • Continually updated maps • Up-to-the-minute news services (over 150, full text) •More than 40,000 pictures and images • Television and radio transcripts • Links to 70 different libraries, 63 dictionaries, 38 thesauruses and six
encyclopedias (including the General Vatican, the Library of Congress, Harvard Law and Duke University) Since the site was designed for all age groups, parents don't have to worry that their children might stumble onto something unsavory. Sounds great?- Mild on, there is a downside. The service is free for the first 30 days only. After that the rate for individuals is posted as $9.95 monthly. But, for the convenience of researching where and when you want, maybe it's worth it.
