Governor to honor Liberal Arts dean By Joyce Kirtley

Staff Writer

$2,000 discovered to help bury penniless man TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A man many thought was penniless will be buried without any debts. Edward Hammond, known around Sand Springs as "the man in the hole," was buried Dec. 2 at the Fort Gibson National Cemetery. Hammond died two weeks ago at a Tulsa hospital. He was 83. As news of his death spread, dozens of people reached into their pockets to buy funeral flowers. Hammond's body has been at Ninde Garden Chapel and Funeral Home since his death because relatives could not afford to pay for his funeral. But the money was found when a friend located nearly $2,000 in a bank account under the reclusive man's name. Willie Ray Dunn said he learned of the account Friday after going through some Social Security paperwork that Hammond left at his home. For years, Hammond lived in an earthen hole in order to separate himself from what he called a morally bankrupt society. He also was known to area residents as "Hammerman" because he always carried a hammer to crush aluminum cans, his main source of income.

City youth wins national art award OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A 9-year-old Oklahoma City girl has received $1,000 for winning a national art contest. A company called The Associates sponsored the drawing contest to come up with art for its 1994 calendar. Christina Contreras, an honor student at Wiley Post Elementary School, is one of 14 winners, chosen from 10,000 entries. Christina's entry is a drawing of a family camping trip last summer. It shows the whole family standing around a camp fire beneath the moon and stars. A tent is in the background. Christina says her prize money is going into her savings account. She plans to spend it some day, either on college tuition or a shiny red convertible. • See WORLD WRAP, Page 6

Nigh answers questions in open forum Thursday By Roy Howe Staff Writer

In a continuing effort to facilitate communicadon between the university's administration and the faculty and staff, George Nigh, University of Central Oklahoma president, fielded a number of questions Thursday during an open forum. Sponsored by the Faculty Senate, more than 30 professors gathered to question, present ideas and air concerns to UCO's top leader. "What is the status of the construction?" asked Bart Binning, UCO professor and former Faculty Senate member. "I'm tentatively looking at April," said Nigh referring to the $50 million Master Plan's ground breaking ceremony. The plan calls for classroom buildings and additions, renovations, expansions and fiber optic systems. Nigh has said that he wanted to break ground the first of the year. "The reason that we are having the delay is not money," Nigh said. "The reason is that we keep changing the architectural designs." Nigh said he would like to have the design plans final soon and the groundbreaking ceremony April 22 which is 89er Day. Concerns about where the administration is on the completion of the updated Faculty Handbook was also raised. The last time the handbook was revised was in 1985. v See FORUM, Page 4

The long and often loud battle over the bill and its questionable effectiveness at keeping guns from getting "into the wrong hands" was enough of a warning for most people who were thinking about getting a gun, or even if they weren't, to go out and do it immediately, in case the bill became law. They've had months to get lots of guns, if they wanted to. And even if someone hadn't thought of it before, and now finds it certainly will become law early next year — well, duh —

they still have three months to pick and choose the handgun of their choice before the five day waiting period takes effect. What the Bardy B ill has done is force more guns into the hands of Americans than before, as people flocked to gun shops, pawn shops, and gun shows to buy before deadline. And those gun buyers paid a heavier price than they would have before, as gun merchants, anticipating the flood of buyers, jacked the prices of weapons up. When the bill does finally become law, gang members and

professional criminals will still be buying stolen guns ou t of a van somewhere, and many law-abiding citizens will continue to buy their guns from other private individuals, where paperwork is seldom required. Nothing much will have changed. Outlawing guns, or even certain types of guns, isn't going to work either, for the same reason. Crime is a problem. As citizens, we should help our law makers and law enforcers find ways to stop the killing in the shops and streets of our towns. But the Brady Bill, or similar fluff legislation, isn't going to do it. It's an unloaded gun, and every responsible gun owner knows how dangerous unloaded guns can be.

taff writer Roy Howe's misquotes of my remarks during the Nov. 18 meeting of the traffic appeals board would have better served in the National Inquirer or some other scandal rag than on the pages of the campus newspaper. Howe misquoted me as saying to the board, "It appears to ine that you are going around and writing a bunch of tickets, accepting the bond money and getting the interest on it." He also quoted me as saying, "Why bond money when you have a hold on me through enrollment and graduation?" These simple sentences, taken out of context, managed to convey a plethora of misconceptions to the casual reader. And, in addition to being taken out of context, they are not direct quotes, but paraphrases of what I actually said. The first misconception is that it sounds as if I had gone before the board angry with the system and displayed an aggressive belligerent manner. Nothing is further from the truth. I was somewhat frustrated at the delay in obtaining a hearing on my citation, and I did question the need to secure a bond from alleged student offenders when the university has control of student transcripts and other records which prevent the student graduating without satisfying all legitimate debts to the institution.

These remarks, however, were not accusations of wrong doing by either the parking authority or any other university department. The comment about writing tickets, receiving bond money and collecting interest on it was an observation of the impressions of not only myself but a number of alleged offenders I had overheard expressing them in the hallway during the two and a half hour wait for my name to come up on the docket. In short, I was not accusing, but was informing the board members of a potentially serious problem with the system they had designed. Had Mr. Howe bothered to report my entire comment, he would have quoted my exact words as, "I will tell you how it looks to me and to many of the others out there in the hallway. It looks like you are going out and writing a lot of tickets, collecting bond money and holding it until it draws interest. I am not accusing you. I am just saying that is how it appears, and even the appearance of such a thing is bad for the institution." At no time were voices raised, nor was there any animosity between myself and the members of the board. Neither from me to them, nor from them to me. Secondly, the reporting of stLtements such as mine, without proper clarification, leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many student. It casts doubts in their minds as to the moral integrity of the adminis-

tration. Many are probably walking around campus believing that they are being cheated, in some manner, by the administration of the University of Central Oklahoma. It was never my intent to create such an impression. Furthermore, I assure you, if I had any inclination that the thought I gave voice to were in any way true, I would not have voiced it to that body. I would have called the office of the State Attorney General and demanded an investigation. Next, I would have hired an attorney on my own to file a civil suit against the university for wrongful misappropriation of funds. If the university or the parking authority or any other department were actually guilty of doing those things, it would be criminal activity, and I would not tolerate it for one minute. Finally, it is customary and common courtesy to inform your subjects of you intent to quote them in a public forum. Had I known that Mr. Howe was lurking in the recesses of the room, I would have been much closer with my words. I don't know what Mr. Howe's ambition is in life, but if it is journalism, and if this is the best he can do at making a dull subject interesting, I wish him no success. There is already too much yellow

- Christmas time brings depression to many By Terri King Staff Writer

The television and radio stations blare the news of the latest and most recurring story: It's Christmas time and that fact will not be ignored. The excitement that lends itself to the holiday season is expressed in a sparkling palate of colored lights and Musaked hymns straining over mall P.A. systems. Catalogues and advertisements choke mailboxes and Christmas shoppers clog stores and parking lots in anticipation of the holiday that the season celebrates. But in all the frenzy of planning parties and dinners and Christmas shopping lists, are the people who see the swirl of holiday activity as a time of sadness and depression. "I think the holidays are depressing, disappointing and tension producing," said Bob Cook, a 31 year-old customer service representative for an Oklahoma City company. "You have very high expectations of what it's going to be like and it's always disappointing. You have time off from work which gives you more time to think about depressing things. And it's near the end of the year; another year gone by without accomplishing what you had hoped to," said Cook. Dr. Susan Waller, a sociology professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, said holiday depression is something that happens in the modern world and is often times media driven. "We often compare what we have with what others have. In

`Toys for Tots' takes donations By Jimmy Hyde Student Writer

"Since 1947 the U.S Marine Corps Reserve "Toys for Tots" program has collected and delivered over 100 million toys to needy children," said Bert Luallen U.S. Naval Reserve. The USMCR "Toys for Tots" campaign will be taking contributions at the University of Central Oklahoma through next week. Those wishing to donate should bring an unwrapped toy or make a cash donation, in the form of a check payable to "Toys for Tots," to one of the two donation boxes at UCO located outside the Graduate Office, Lillard Administration Building Room 216 or outside Dr. Bill Parker's office, Liberal Arts Room 104. Cash contributions should be given directly to Parker or to Luallen at the Graduate Office.

earlier times, people would compare themselves with their immediate neighbors and the people around them and their neighbors we're likely to be like them in many ways, wear similar clothes and have the same kinds of things. But today, because of media images, people are comparing their situations with images of people they do not know and will never meet or be like," said Waller. Waller said often times people will give gifts to each other instead of giving of themselves. "It's helpful to count all the blessings we do have. We must remember to keep the material aspect (of Christmas) in perspective. Christmas doesn't change who we are or who our family is," said Waller. Edmond psychologist, Dr. Richard Swink, said the holidays bring out a tendency to be more emotional. "There is a tendency to dwell on feelings about family and security, and those feelings will be intensified for anyone already has a latent depression," said Swink. Swink said he thinks the modern holiday experience is molded primarily by retailers and the media, but the good outweighs the negative. "The holidays create a ritual for people to express warm feelings to each other. One aspect of our pluralistic society is that we have an absence of meaningful rituals. Holidays tend to cut through most lines of division between people," said Swink. Swink said the people who are most depression prone are those who are socially disarticulated— those people who are

socially isolated and are not connected to a social network. Wesley Foundation director, Rev. Cooper Ames, said he finds holiday depression is especially prevelent in students who are away from home. "It's common; I expect it. Often it seems to be the case with people who don't have a good home life or good relationships with their families. The holidays are supposed to be a time of joy, but for many people, it often brings to the surface all that's wrong with them and their families," said Ames. Ames said it is good to remember that depression is a natural and healthy thing in order for a person to give focus to some problem in their lives. Ames said that to cope, a person should write in a journal or talk to someone they trust like a friend or pastor. "Once people get their feelings out in the open, those feelings are not as powerful as we imagined them to be," said Ames.

Ames suggested that a shortterm solution to feelings of sadness or depression around the

holidays could include perhaps participating in a community sponsored holiday dinner for the

poor. "It helps to re-focus your attention onto someone else and off of yourself during the holidays," said Ames

There is a special burden during the holidays for someone who has a loved one who has recently died. at% Dr. Kenneth Curl, a licensed professional councilor and a professor in the funeral science department at UCO, said the first set of holidays leading up to the first anniversary of the death is most often the toughest time for the bereaved. "The holidays do intensify the feelings and you cannot escape it; with the T.V., radio and newspapers, it comes at us. Home, schools, businesses and everything are all guilty of building it up, and the first year is extra stressful. Many people

would just like to sleep through the whole holiday period," he said.

"Everybody needs to give the bereaved a lot of space and allow them to express their grief in various ways that are helpful to them and they should be given open-ended invitations with the option to back out at the last minute if they need to," said Curl. Curl said one the best things for the bereaved to do during the holiday season is to find a way to change the holiday routine. "They need to think ahead and think about their options and how they can do something that would be different and meaningful for them. "If they think just a little bit ahead to the holiday rather than just roll up to the day and let whatever that day does to them happen, they will come out of it feeling much better, " Curl said. People need to just take time out and take a break to kind of reassess, re-do and get it back together.

Oklahoma storyteller gives tips to feature writing students By Janet Runge

Staff Writer

Her voice is like mist over the ocean. It floats gently, almost hypnotically in the air, soft, yet pulsing with a rhythm that is as ageless as the sea. The voice belongs to Lynn Moroney. She is a storyteller. Dressed casually in a denim skirt and shirt, hair pulled back loosely in a pony-tail, Moroney's petite form exudes dynamic energy. She engages her audience without flashy costumes or elaborate props, only a few subtle hand gestures and her captivating voice. "I never knew I had a good voice," she said. "I was in my 40's before I knew that people liked to hear my voice." Moroney said storytelling is an ancient art form and was originally a method of adults speaking to adults to keep alive the values, traditions,and beliefs of a culture. Moroney became interested in storytelling when she told stories to children about astron-

omy to make the subject more interesting to them. "I kept making lists of things that interested me like stories, teaching, healing, and I realized that I wasn't following where I needed to go," she says. In June of '89 she quit her job to pursue storytelling full-time. Moroney said she considers stories healing because they take the listener to a special place inside of themselves. When a person is in that moment they're not grieving about the past or apprehensive about the future, she said. "As a storyteller I have to be centered, and if I am I can take people to that place," she said. "It's a way of touching other people. It's gift-giving and very enriching. "The first thing to remember is that stories are never about what they are about. We all know that the story of the three little pigs is not about little pigs." Moroney believes that stories are like oracles and that each time a person hears a story they learn something different depending on where they are in

Lynn Moroney

life. "A good story teller becomes invisible. My job is to help you see the images, not see me. `If people leave a session taking about my stories and not my manicure then I have done my job," she said. Moroney said she believes that storytelling is almost like evoking a hypnotic trance; people are conditioned to the fact

that when they hear, "Once upon a time," they know they're going to a certain place. "Their body language changes, sometimes heads go down, jaws go slack, they're relaxed. "If I put people to sleep, that's O.K.The object is to take them to a place of dreams," said Moroney Currently, Moroney is retelling traditional lore,"but I'm a revivalist storyteller, I take things off the book shelf and on to the ear," she said. To prepare the written word for transformation to oral form Moroney begins with research, she says. After the research, she builds a storyboard and lays the story out graphically, noting what happens in each scene. "Some people advise that you practice telling your story in front of a mirror, but I don't ever do that," said Moroney. "What you do is learn the story, then get out of the way, just tell it," she said. She said one of her most memorable places to speak was

the Smithsonian. "I really enjoyed that," she said. In addition to storytelling, Moroney teaches workshops and writes children's books. Moroney said she hopes to use her storytelling skills as an advocacy for non-violence. "I'm very concerned with violence in America. "The storyteller is this little box in our house and it's telling us horrid stories. "I've been a witness to gang violence, and when you're there, a reality sinks in." "I know you can engage kids without violence because I do it all the time," she said. Moroney said that while some people may point to childhood traumas as a cause for violent behavior, at some point people are responsible for their own form of storytelling. "We have the power to change and we can change our own personal stories," she said. Moroney will be speaking at the 13th Annual Wintertales Storytelling Festival Feb. 18-19 at Stage Center.

"Our goal has been Nov. 1, we're not reaching that, but it is done," Nigh said. He explained that the updating process involves making sure that the university's Mission Statement and other procedures parallels that in the Employee's Handbook and the Student Handbook. He said that the new handbook will be available by January in loose leaf form so that pages can be removed and updated as needed. After the new handbook is released, Nigh said that he would review the 10 proposal that the Faculty Senate has forwarded to him for his approval, disapproval or demand for further study. If approved, the proposals will be added to the handbook. Another professor said that she recently caught a student blatantly cheating and then found UCO had no academic dishonesty policy. Nigh said that he wanted to follow other institutions in the placement of dishonesty statements and that a policy was something that should be consistent in all handbooks. He also questioned where it would be placed in the handbook. The Faculty Senate forwarded

a Student Honor Code proposal to Nigh last April. This proposal included expulsion as an option of recourse. Poor living conditions with the dormitory at Old North was also questioned. "We don't have any money to improve Old North," Nigh said. "That is not in the Master Plan. That is something that we will look to our alumni for," he said. Also, to raise money for the building, Nigh said that the bricks outside of Old North could be pulled up and replaced with gold bricks inscribed with the names of the individuals who purchase them. Faculty research, a night administrator, shared vision for information technology, standards for UCO graduate students and the status of the proposed College of Fine Arts were also topics informally discussed by Nigh and faculty members. The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges recently gave UCO permission to begin planning for a college of Fine Arts. Nigh said that he has no preconceived ideas for the division of the College of Liberal Arts to form the new college and said that he didn't want to design it. "I've turned it over to Academic Affairs and said, `do it, â€” he said.

Rehabilitation counselor comments on handicap accommodations By Anthony Tompkins Student Writer

Since the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, the University of Central Oklahoma has made many changes to buildings and walk ways to accommodate students with disabilities, said Lynn Holdsclaw, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for UCO. Students confined to wheel chairs have access to buildings on campus through sloped curbs, automatic doors, ramps, elevators and hand railings. Unfortunately, not all disabilities can be dealt with in such a manner, said Holdsclaw.

"I was invited to one of the meetings concerning UCO's adaptation to the ADA guidelines, but I have not been invited since," said Holdsclaw. "The biggest problem to work on at UCO concerning disabled students is administrative attitudes," she said. The administrators make proposals and decisions without understanding all of the problems faced by disabled students, said Holdsclaw. Students with other disabilities (blindness or deafness) who transfer from other more "well equipped" facilities often feel as though they have been overlooked or forgotten all together, she said. In regard to inequalities of attention to other disabilities, UCO Equity Officer Richard W. Dimit said the university has

had no "formal" complaints from students or the Department of Education concerning un-met needs of disabled students, though we do take suggestions and complaints. If a student needs something from the university, such as special reading equipment for a visually impaired student or a table of a specific height for a student confined to a wheel chair, that student must communicate his needs to the university, said Dimit. "We often deal with individuals, in order to meet their specific needs," said Dimit. "The adaptation of the UCO campus is an on going, continuous process." "I am pleased with the amount of improvement on the UCO campus, but there is still

much to be done," said Holdsclaw. When asked if the campus had reached an acceptable level of accessibility, Muhemmad Ranshad, a math and computer science graduate student who is confined to a wheel chair, said "Yes, almost all of the buildings on campus are accessible." Ranshad said he is pleased that UCO is preparing handicapped accessible apartments for students. "I know they are trying, but improvements that have been made are still a far cry from completion," said Donna Ford, a graduate student studying psychology who is also confined to a wheel chair. Both made comments concerning the need for better accessibility to the computer lab

in the Math and Computer Science Building. "They locked the front door where the automatic door is located, making it a nightmare to get out," said Ford. Ford said her wheel chair was damaged when she attempted to leave the Math and Computer Science Building through its east exit. Ford and Ranshad also expressed concern with the accessibility to bathrooms. "The only accessible bathroom in the library is on the first floor," said Ranshad. "I have been here since '91, and only recently have the bathrooms in Old North become accessible," said Ford. "I hope the new psychology building is more accessible, the ramp on Old North is like a Frontier City roller coaster."

economist Craig Knutson, president of the South Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Governor's Council of Economic Advisors. "Our generation will bear the brunt of the incredible debt that's building up. The federal government spends 12-times as much on the elderly in this country as it does on younger people. We are just asking for an equitable distribution of federal money," said John Wolf, who with Bruce Shortnacy are coordinators for Lead or Leave Oklahoma. Wolf said that the generation

of young people born between 1961 and 1981, also known as Generation X, needs to be aware that, because the nation's debt ceiling is raised every year, 1/3 of the money the government takes in each year goes to service the national debt. That number is estimated to increase to 2/3 by the year 2000. "It's going to be difficult to get people our age to think about the future, but the United States has always been a nation that's looked ahead. This generation is larger than the "baby boom" generation, and if we mobilize, we can get what we want.

RESERVE OFFICERS'

"If we don't, we will become like a third world country; we will be in so much debt, we will be at the mercy of those who hold our debt," said Wolf. Lead or Leave Teach-Ins have been held at colleges and universities nationwide and is part of the organization's "Get Real" national education campaign. Lead or Leave has over 80,000 members and 100 chapters nationwide. For more information, contact Wolf at 525-5020 or 9427878 Ext. 514 or Shortnacy at 366-8498 or734-5236.

Local woman fasts 28 days, is featured on "Donahue" NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — A woman who has been fasting 28 days to get her mother to stop smoking appeared on the "Donahue" television show last week. Kim Basham, 28, was featured on the ABC show, which was broadcast in Oklahoma at 4 p.m. Dec. 2. She said her mother has finally stopped smoking. But Ms. Basham is continuing her fast until Sunday. By then, she will have gone 32 days without eating. She fasted for 31 days in 1985 to raise awareness of famine in Africa, and she wants to top that record. Ms. Basham expected to be questioned on the TV show by smokers' rights advocates. But she has an answer ready for them.

State denies former OU football players appeal in rape trial OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The state Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld the rape conviction of former University of Oklahoma football player Nigel Clay. The court rejected Clay's appeal Dec. 1. He was convicted in 1989 of first-degree rape for his role in a gang-rape at the university's athletic dormitory. Clay was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined $10,000. In his appeal, Clay claimed evidence was insufficient to support the conviction and that the trial court erred by denying his request for a separate trial. He was tried along with two other Oklahoma football players. One was acquitted and the other, Bernard Hall, was convicted. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed Hall's conviction in June.

UCO, Nigh honors fall graduates By Bobbi Beldon Student Writer

"We are one of the true growing universities in this state," said University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh Dec. 2 at a breakfast honoring the fall graduates. President Nigh and his wife Donna were the host of the breakfast held in the Grand Ballroom. Chris Henthrone, president of pre-law club, was the master of ceremonies. Kim Dempewolf, Sigma Kappa Sorority, gave the invocation. Judie Tennell, President's leadership council member, gave the class address highlighting the college career and future of seniors. President of the University of Central Oklahoma Alumni Association and Vice President of Union Bank, Jane Haskins gave a speech inviting all graduating to join the alumni association. Her theme was "The best of tunes and the worst of times" and she wanted all seniors to remember the best of times. "This university is on the cutting edge," said Nigh. "for we are going a different direction and the opposite approach to some universities, we are expanding our graduating ceremonies to include fall, spring

Kevorkian fasts in Michigan jail while awaiting prosecution PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — Dr. Jack Kevorkian wants to stay in jail and starve himself while the state tries to prosecute him for violating Michigan's law against assisting in suicide, an attorney said Thursday. Kevorkian, 65, was jailed Dec. 1 after Oakland County District Judge Daniel Sawicki set a $50,000 cash bond, which must be paid in full before he can be released. His lawyer, Michael Schwartz, said he had received a telephone message indicating a New York man wants to post bond. Kevorkian objects, but if bail is posted he will have no choice but to go free, Schwartz said. While jailed, he will take vitamins and fruit juice but no solid food, Schwartz said, They can't force him to take sustenance," Schwartz said That will be a horrible thing ... people strapping him down, putting tubes down his mouth, torturing Dr. Kevorkian." The judge scheduled a Dec. 10 hearing to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to try Kevorkian in the Oct. 22 death of Merian Frederick of Ann Arbor. Frederick, 72, who had Lou Gehrig's disease, died by inhaling carbon monoxide gas in Kevorkian's Royal Oak apartment. Twenty people have died in Kevorkian's presence since July 1990, including five since the Legislature enacted a law specifically to stop him. While the law is under appeal, Kevorkian awaits two trials under it in neighboring Wayne County. If convicted, be could receive four years in prison. Increasingly defiant in court, Kevorkian muttered "Go to hell" under his breath while Sawicki set his bond, and he called a police detective a liar. Kevorkian went on a hunger strike in which he took only • uice, water and vitamins during a three-day stay last month in the Wayne County Jail. He was bailed out by a lawyer who thought the doctor was getting too much publicity.

a Teams replay College . Bowl, 'Serial Piranha' wins By Michelle Peller

Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma had eight teams replay in a single elimination tournament for a first place team in College Bowl, a game of academic knowledge, Dec. 1 in the Home Economics Building Living Room because of a rule violation in the original tournament last month. The first place team of the original game had one too many members and two members not officially registered who played, said Dr. Gayle Kearns, assistant professor of occupational and technical education and director of College Bowl. The first day of the original game, the team had played with the four that were officially registered, she said. The team members names were marked off before the first game and not checked on any of the other games, Kearns said. She said that they didn't think that something like this would happen, so that is why the names were only checked off for that first game. The illegal substitution was noticed after the team had won first place because the winners were not the original members that were signed up, said Kearns. All teams had a list of the rules and some members on the original first place team had played before, Kearns said. The team captain withdrew the team from first place, she said. "The team is not happy," said Kearns. "I hate that this happened," she said. "It's too bad it happened, but they broke a rule."

The team captains met together and decided to have a rematch for first place, said Kearns. The second place team had a chance to try and win first place, she said. If the original second place team had lost in the rematches, they were still guaranteed second place, Kearns said. The rematches were concluded by "Serial Piranha" (original second place team) winning first place consisting of Paul Kennedy, Linda Luna, Peter Wertz and Dan Johnston. "Emilee and the Lawn Boys" finished in second place consisting of Emilee Truelove, Robb Hibbard, Russ Tallchief and Clovis Conley. Each member of "Serial Piranha" will receive a fall tuition reimbursement and spring tuition fee waiver scholarship, said Kearns. "Emilee and the Lawn Boys" will each receive a fall tuition reimbursement, she said. The Varsity Team, which consists of the "top 10" scorers, has not yet been contacted, said Kearns. The Varsity Team will go to the Regional Championship Tournament in February 1994 at Kansas State University, she said. "We have a great All-Star Team (Varsity Team)," said Kearns. "If UCO (Varsity Team) wins at regionals, then they go to nationals." "Today went great," she said. "It was such a positive day today." "Everyone was just happy they had a second chance," said Lane Whitesell, adjunct instructor of chemistry and moderator for the tournaments. Kearns said that next year, all teams will be checked to make sure a problem does not arise.

Student Writer Any Faculty, administrators, student service personnel and computer staff interested in technology-based, student-centered services are invited to attend a workshop at noon Thursday live via satellite in the Communication Building Annex , Conference Room 0 The program, satellite-

delivered from the institute for academic technology, offers discourse and technology demonstrations exploring multimedia uses, technology trends, instructional technology facility design and distance learning. "Basically it focuses on multimedia television transmission in the classroom and across student campuses," said Maithreyi Manoharan, who works in the media center and helped to sponsor the event. " It was brought to UCO from the University of North Carolina

and a sub-organization of the college called IAT, a nonprofit organization," Manoharan said. The program gives tips and insight into how information technology can streamline campus services and show how other universities have implemented the use of more advanced technology. Seating is limited, and anyone interested in making reservations can call UCO at 341-2980, Ext.5581 , said Manoharan.

Native American organization elects UCO students Four members of the First American Student Association (FASA) from the University of Central Oklahoma were among the officers elected to the Native American Collegiate Council of Oklahoma (NACCO) during a three-day conference held on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman. The NACCO is a new intercollegiate lobbying and net-

working organization for Native American college students. UCO students elected to NACCO offices are Bob Monroe as Chairman; FASA president Mechelle Aitson as Legislation Committee Chair; Carlita Robison as Resource and Research Committee Chair and Administratrive Assistant Lei Rumley as Public Relations Committee Chair .

Aitson said the purpose of the NCAAO is to help Native American students build leadership skills, to lobby for policies of interest to Native Americans and to serve as a clearinghouse for information. "Our emphasis will be on seeing students finish their education and getting them involved in their Indian culture," said Aitson.

Professor lectures on UCO math, science history By Rodney Gordon

Student Writer

Dr. David Hart, University of Central Oklahoma professor of Chemistry, lectured on his new book, "A Centennial History of

Science and Mathematics at Central State University ", last Tuesday in Howell Hall. Hart, former UCO Dean of the College of Mathematics and Science, discussed his research for the book, thanked his many sources of information and presented a slide show of some of the photographs he has acquired since beginning the project in the spring of 1989. About 50 friends and colleagues attended the presentation. "The fundamental purpose of the history (the book) was to commemorate the achievements in science and mathematics of our faculty and students for the first 100 years of Central State beginning with the Normal School," Hart said, after battling the microphone for a few moments. Information for the book was retrieved from The Vista, published continuously since 1903, The Bronze Book, published since 1913, personnel folders from the presidents office, old campus directories and old class directories, Hart said. He also thanked Mary Bond, head of the UCO Archives, for her assistance in recovering photographs and other various

information. "I was interested in, first of all, the faculty ... I wanted to know who they were, where they came from and what kinds of qualifications they brought to the profession," Hart said. Also included in his research were the histories of the curriculum, facilities provided for mathematics and science, equipment and student organizations. Hart also said that he decided to write the book in a chronological format, beginning with what is now known as Old North. In beginning the slide show, Hart explained that he used as many photographs in the book as possible, although some of the slides are not used in the book. The slide show included photographs of important faculty members (some of which had buildings on campus named after them), the insides of class rooms and labs, various build ings in which the mathematics and science department were housed throughout the years and a couple of aerial shots of the university in the first half century of service. One slide was an early photo of Richard Thatcher, the first "principal" of what was then called The Normal School for Oklahoma. "He (Thatcher) also built some of the furniture ... and I have no doubt that some of it is still used," Hart said, causing the audience to laugh. -

UCO chemistry professor Dr. David Hart talks about the history of the UCO Math & Science to students and faculty Tuesday at Howell Hall department. (Photo by Bill Ball) He also showed slides of Clyde Howell, Cliff R. Otto, who sponsored the science club for a number of years, Edgar Wax, S.J. Payne, Marval D. Evans, Warren Smith and many others. Other slides included were photographs of a Civilian Pilot Training class in 1940, two aerial photos of the entire university in 1922-1923 and 1934-1935, and numerous photos of early science classes.

While the slide show was being presented, Evans discussed the history of student organizations dedicated to science and mathematics and the establishment of different departments as the population of the school rose. As the slide show moved into the 1950's and 1960's, audience members again laughed among themselves as photos of some of the current staff were shown as students.

When the slide show was over, the Dean of the College of Math and Science, G. Kay Powers, presented Hart a clock with his name engraved on it and a gift certificate to Greystone Restaurant on behalf of the department for his dedication to the college. Immediately following the presentation, Hart held a reception where he signed free copies of his book for members of the audience.

Hey, who's that?

New faces, new places add intrigue to cage season

Bronchos hit the floor with 10 unfamiliar players

Lady Bronchos replace one All-Star with another

By Justin Harper

Vista Sports Editor

It may take a while, but eventually Central Oklahoma's basketball players will become familiar faces. Then again, if they are as good on the court as they look on paper, maybe it won't take that long. There is just one recognizable name for Broncho fans to spot on this years roster. Darrell Gibson is the lone returnee from last seasons' 23-6 ball club that claimed a third-straight Lone Star Conference title. The Bronchos have lost the services of the best player in school history with the departure of 199293 NCAA II Player of the Year Alex Wright. But, that's not all they lost. Five seniors are gone from last years' club, but so are seven other players who were underclassmen last season. Reasons for the seven players who fell through the cracks are many. Regardless, they're history. In their place ten newcomers - seven junior college transfers and three NCAA I transfers. Despite not signing a single high school player, the Bronchos signed a top-20 recruiting class. Leading the way will be Johnny Tyson, Zoderick Green, Joe Hooks, Andre Jackson, Artie Taylor and Will Scott. Tyson is a 6-foot-10 junior center who comes from Trinity Valley College (Texas) where he averaged 22 points per game and 10 rebounds. Green, a 6-0 junior guard, averaged 29 points per game last year at Brookhaven Community College (Texas). Hooks is making a comeback after sitting out last year. The 6-8, junior forward averaged 15.6 points and 8.3 rebounds two years ago at Trinity Valley. Jackson transfers in from Louisiana Tech. The 61, senior guard started 17 games for the Bulldogs last season. Taylor, a senior transfer from Arkansas State, will probably handle the point guard spot for the Bronchos. Scott will miss the first semester, but will be ready No. Name Ht., Class, Pos. to go in the spring.

How do you replace a two-time All-Lone Star Conference performer who was also one of the most talented centers to ever don a Central Oklahoma Lady Bronchos jersey? It's easy. At least it was for UCO coach John Keely. The personable Keely didn't spend any time fretting about the loss of his star player, Ton' Nea Williams, he simply signed another standout center. Shauna Tubbs takes the baton and the 6-foot-2, junior has plenty of talent to fill the void. "Shauna is the difference between us being mediocre and real good," Keely said. She's the real thing a tremendous player in every aspect." Tubbs comes to UCO from Trinity Valley Community College (Texas) where she was a two-time AllAmerican. Tubbs averaged 26 points, 16.5 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game as a freshman and 22.9 points, 14.5 rebounds and 3.1 steals per outing last season. As Keely said she can do it all - she's even dunked a ball in practice - but she's far from a one-woman show. Senior g uard Kim Priddy and senior forward Tammy Cummings are returning starters who will help Tubbs with the transition and could help the Lady Bronchos exceed last seasons 18-10 record. Priddy averaged 8.9 points per game and led the LSC in free throw percentage at .836. Cummings racked up 10.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest in 1992-93. Seven other letter winners return for the Lady Bronchos. Forward Penni Kime, forward Kara Kessler, forward Junae Elsberry, forward Tammie Barker, guard Jennifer Don't fake the funk... Garrison, guard The names have changed, but the results haven't as both UCO April Taylor and basketball squads hit the court with a variety of new players in guard Stephanie 1993-94.
