state House recently passed a bill permitting advertising on school buses. It's about time the legislature proposed a worthwhile and lucrative bill such as this.

Not only would this proposition provide schools with additional funding for programs and supplies, they could also use the increased revenue to hire the additional staff they desperately need.

The bill would allow each local school district to decide if they want to use the advertising. And, why wouldn't they—it's a great idea.

Some may argue that this leaves room for suggestive or unfit advertising to reach our children. Not so. The bill will prohibit signs promoting the use of drugs, alcohol, tobacco and firearms or the use of anything deemed obscene.

Lawmakers opposing the bill argue that prohibiting tobacco companies from advertising on the buses could cause a lawsuit. But, common sense says that a tobacco company suing a school board is probably the worst kind of publicity the company could ask for.

Other school districts have used school bus advertising and it works. Fourteen school districts in Ontario, Canada have approved the advertising on their school buses, and have more than 3,000 advertisers with many more eager to sign on. So far they haven't had any problems with lawsuits or keeping a reign on advertisers through stringent guidelines. So, what's the problem?

The opposition also argues that rubberneckers could cause accidents by looking at the signs while driving. Obviously they've forgotten that public buses have advertising plastered all over them, and they don't cause accidents.

Once again, closed-minded legislators may prevent a good idea from becoming a reality, but they probably rode the short bus to school. <

I didn't see sororities of this university should take heed to the charity events for under-privileged children during above sentences. Since their intelligence and rush week. Instead, every night, I saw under-aged maturity level is only as high as stealing student drunks stumbling from party to party in search of a newspapers and shouting four lettered words (and boy or girl to pass out with.

Was it properly done with journalistic writers in The Vista office who dare try to explain integrity? Who the heck cares?! The big that appalling cartoon, their attention was probably controversy has now been turned from the "accident" to the cartoon. Everyone around lost after the first few words.

LETTER Continued from Page 2 pelvis. That cartoon did not keep driving and flee the scene drunk after it ran over a critically injured human being That cartoon is just that. Just ink on paper.

If one would look at all the political cartoons in the paper one could say they are in bad taste. But we are not throwing around four-lettered words in the New York Times' office after we see our president portrayed as a fat sexaholic hick from the back woods of Arkansas. We are not throwing thousands of copies of the Chicago Tribune into dumpsters when we see a cartoon of an injured war hero, Bob Dole, shown as a confused geriatric man misquoted and misrepresented .

You know why? It is called the First Amendment, my Greek brothers and sisters. Whether I agree or not with what George Will says in this week's Newsweek, I will fight and die for his right to write it or say it. I wonder if any of you frat guys' or sorority gals' grandfathers did just that.

The fraternities and sororities may have a gripe with a controversial cartoon, but put it all in perspective. Instead of writing letters to The Vista without any real substance, they should take this time after such a senseless tragedy to do some introspective thinking of what they are really about.

Webb, Brisch request more money for higher ed

By Lisa Tatum StarMtliff aculty and administrators from UCO joined other advocates of higher education at the state capitol Tuesday for a show of support that will hopefully encourage legislators to increase funding for the state's 25 colleges and universities.

UCO President Roger Webb met last week with Gov. Frank Keating and 21 other college and university presidents to request additional funding for higher education.

After that meeting, Webb asked faculty, deans and administrators to show their support for an increase in higher education funding that will

ultimately benefit not only higher education, but also the state of Oklahoma.

The decisions legislators make in the next two weeks will determine how much additional money UCO and other schools will be appropriated for the 19981999 fiscal year.

Last week, Chancellor Hans Brisch of the State Board of Regents for Higher Education proposed a $90.6 million increase in state appropriations citing the critical role higher education plays in Oklahoma's economic future.

Brisch said the state needs to increase its proportion of college graduates to be a national and global economic contender.

Webb said the support state lawmakers-have shown for

higher education in the past two years has been encouraging, but agreed with Brisch that the funding needs to continue inorder to assure Oklahoma's economic growth.

Webb joined other college presidents and their colleagues again Tuesday at the Capitol to ask the lawmakers to invest in higher education.

"This is a critical time to let members of the legislature know we thank them for the last two years of very good support," said Webb.

"But it is imperative we keep the momentum and continue to attempt to move support for education in Oklahoma to at least the equivalent of this region of the United States." -4

Crowder charged with several counts

By Sheri Tacker StaffWile,'

K

evin Scott Crowder was formally charged April 15 in the incident regarding the injury of fellow Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) member, Stacy Aldridge, according to the district attorney's office.

The Carter County District Attorney, Gary Henry, charged Crowder with leaving the scene of the accident, driving under the influence, reckless driving

and failure to pay state taxes due.

According to the sheriffs report, Crowder was arrested April 11 after running over Aldridge in another fraternity member's car. Crowder said he was trying to leave a sneak event where he was "kidnapped" and taken to a remote site near Ardmore, Okla.

Aldridge was admitted April 11 to Mercy Memorial Health Center in Ardmore, Okla. He was later transferred to

University Hospital in Oklahoma City with chest injuries, a crushed pelvis, and other injuries, said hospital staff.

There is currently no record of Aldridge at University Hospital, said hospital admissions personnel.

A representative from hospital administration said that patients sometimes are not listed at the request of the family.

Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice

president for student services, will be conducting UCO's investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, said President Roger Webb.

The chapter is suspended from all activity except meetings dealing solely with the incident, said Wynn Smiley, executive director of the national ATO fraternity.

The national investigation was completed on April 21, but any action that might be taken

is postponed while ATO officials speak to UCO officials, said Smiley.

He said that national ATO will probably act prior to UCO's investigation completion date.

"Dr. Gage's review, conclusions, and recommendations should be completed by May 1," said Webb.

Crowder's preliminary hearing will be July 13 at 9 a.m. in the Carter County Courthouse

Organizations ready to help move 1998 grads into jobs

S

pring is here and many college graduates will soon face a harsh reality—they have to find a job.

But career counselors at UCO and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission say the job market is strong and the outlook for 1998 graduates is good.

"There is a definite increase in the job market," said Sheryl Simpson, a career counselor for the UCO Career Development and Placement Services (CDPS).

"We're getting more companies at our job fairs because the demand for personnel exceeds the supply," she said.

Dr. Gage, former director of CDPS, said, in an open letter to students, that the fall 1997 semester saw a record number of businesses coming to campus to interview.

"We also had more corporate guests on campus to interview students," she said.

Simpson said education and computer-related jobs are in demand now.

"One thing we have noticed is that they are screaming for teachers in Texas and California," she said.

"We are also seeing a lot of computer companies come in.

It is definitely the number one

demand right now."

Last year, over 90 employers provided There is a definite employment opportunities to increase in the job over 800 students interviewed, market. according to the CDPS website.

"Not including the teacher —Sheryl Simpson education job fair, which had counselor for the UCO 67 schools, we've had 117 Career Development employers come on campus and Placement this year," said Simpson.

Services According to information from the Oklahoma MEN, SA,,larAMMIRMORW,;:4,05::Ramoae-,.; , : In the Midwest, the Employment Security Commission (OESC), regional unemployment rate for March and state unemployment rates 1998 was 3.7 percent, with Oklahoma's rate for March at are down.

3.5 percent.

Some of the fastest growing occupations requiring a bachelor's degree, as listed by the OESC, are computer engineers, occupational therapists, systems analysts and special education teachers.

Many of the companies that visited UCO are in these fields. They included companies such as Fleming Companies, Arthur Andersen LLP, Cerner Corporation and Yukon Public Schools.

Although a lot of companies are coming to UCO, others are also using services that don't

require them to come to campus.

The CDPS office offers a resume service for UCO students and alumni who are looking for a job. The service includes helping students write a resume, and then sending resumes to companies that have requested employees.

The cost for the service is $20 for enrolled students and $30 for alumni.

For more information about resumes and job searching, call the Career Development and Placement Office at 341-2980, Ext. 3346.

Dr. Suzanne Quillen Lomax of the National Gallery of Art, will be speaking on the "Application of Chemistry to Examination of Works of Art." Lomax works as a chemist at the National Gallery of Art and specializes in the authentication of paintings and sculpture, said Dr. Cheryl Frech, associate professor of chemistry at UCO.

"Every year we have a meeting designated as spouse night, so the talk will be less technical and designed for the public," said Frech.

A 6 p.m. social hour will precede dinner at 7 p.m., and Dr. Lomax will begin speaking at 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 7, at Cattlemen's Steakhouse, located at 1309 S. Agnew in Oklahoma City. Dinner tickets are from $19 to 23 for members and guests, and from $16 to 19 for students.

Second Internet system designed for university research

By Mark A. Schneberger Stalllittita f you feel that researching information on the Internet at UCO is difficult, you should hold on to your browsers. It's likely to get a little more complex in the near future.

Professors from universities across the nation have banded together and are pushing for the development of an additional Internet service called Internet 2. The service will be more research-oriented and have fewer sites for entertainment and general interest.

Access to the Internet 2 service will first be offered at a select number of universities to professors and instructors who want to use it for research papers and presentations.

Later, the new 'Net service could be made available to the general public, including UCO students who want to use it for research papers.

UCO has not been chosen as one of the first to try the new system, but will likely be added to the list at a future date.

/

The effort to link universities across the nation to a second information superhighway dubbed "I2" is being spearheaded by U.S. Vice President Al Gore. He unveiled the project at a press conference last week.

"The Internet is revolutionizing our lives---every aspect of our lives," he said.

"It is connecting people together and opening new avenues of communications, commerce and learning."

Once fully operational, Gore said 12 will enable faculty and students the capacity to transmit information comparable to the entire 30-volume set of the Encyclopedia Britannica to each other in one second.

"It will be a remarkable achievement," Gore said.

Describing "I2" is similar to comparing cable television channels.

Where there is an HBO 1 movie channel in many cities, there is often a similar HBO-2 channel—each one is separate but serving a similar function.

Regarding the Internet, Gore said he's hopeful that the Internet 2 system will be used for more serious research.

-

He said it will offer far fewer sites for entertainment, pornography and chat than does the original Internet.

Over 120 universities which specialize in research are already bidding to be the first to try out the new technology, when developed.

Twelve have just been named, including the University of Nebraska and the University of Missouri at Columbia to test-run the fledgling system. No southern state universities have yet been chosen.

UCO, because it is not a researchspecific institution, is also not included in the trial run. However, the university will likely receive access to the technology shortly after being tested.

The recent Internet 2 developments have intrigued many UCO professors and administrators who said they welcome any tool which could make their jobs easier.

Dr. Wayne Stein, English professor, said he was very interested in the 12 system.

Stein recently developed and manages the English department's Web site, which offers tutoring and a host of other educational services

Stein said he thought the specialized version of the Internet would seem more inviting to some professors who would normally shy away from the current technology.

"Something like this would be good because when I introduce the Internet to faculty they don't always see the need of it," Stein said.

"The Internet is not always what everyone says it is. But something like this would be better."

Stein said he feels that if the Internet 2 system is a success, that students should be allowed to access it as well.

"They need to be able to do research on every topic. This would help," he said.

Dr. Judith Coe, education department assistant dean, said she also was eager to see Internet 2 reach UCO. She said the benefits to professors in all departments would be measurable "Any additional resources that faculty and staff have to assist them for research or teaching or servicerelated activities is great," she said.

"It will be interesting to watch it (develop) as the system becomes available to more institutions."

Webb reviews progress, UCO's SIFE wins $3,500 cash looks to UCO's future

By Lisa Tatum StaffWriler

year ago this month, President Roger Webb ntroduced himself to UCO's Faculty Senate with an outline of his plans for the university.

Thursday, Webb stood before the same group of faculty representatives at their final meeting of the year to reflect on the past twelve months.

Webb commended the leadership of the faculty while reminding them of his expectations for the future.

"It bears repeating that the relationship between Faculty Senate and the president doesn't have to be adversarial," he said.

"That's not to say we won't always disagree . . . but we are going to get along fine."

He said he was pleased that one of his initial concerns about the faculty-administration relationship hasn't happened.

It takes too much time and energy to deal with trivial and petty issues—life is too short to

Ai .

spend grousing around, Webb said.

"That hasn't happened. We got off on the right foot."

Webb said he will continue to be a decision maker and that he is still concerned about how long it takes to make decisions at UCO. "Sometimes a quick no is better than a long delayed maybe," he said.

The president addressed UCO's financial situation as another ongoing concern.

"Last year I acknowledged we had financial problems," he said.

"We still do, but we're working on them. We're going to get past them."

Webb acknowledged that there are layers of administration and programs that need to be cut, but assured the senate that every program that is viable and working well will continue.

"We've got to start pruning limbs," he said. "We can't continue allowing any more tired or dead branches to exist on this tree.

"Any one of you, if you were president, would think this." <

ut of 40 teams competing, UCO's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) was judged a regional champion at a recent competition in Ft. Worth, Texas.

The team's cash awards totaled $3,500.

"We have done several projects throughout the year," said Dr. Billye Hansen, professor of general business.

The group won $1,000 for winning the regional championship for their league.

SIFE made a 24-minute Powerpoint presentation relating to the many projects they have done for the year.

The group won another $1,000 for the Jules and Gwen Knapp Foundation's Half the Deficit/Reduce the Debt competition. The criteria for the competition was how effective the SIFE team was in educating their community on the federal budget deficit and national debt.

"With the outreach on the social security reform we think we have reached approximately 518 million people with our story," said Hansen.

According to the UCO SIFE

1997-1998 annual report, the group wanted to educate the public on the over $1 trillion deficit the country will face in 2040 without Social Security reform. As part of that education, the group has held bimonthly educational meetings with interested citizens since June.

An additional $1,000 was awarded through the Kraft Foods Success 2000 competition.

The criteria for that competition was effectiveness of

the team in tutoring and mentoring economically disadvantaged youth and/or under-educated adults to develop skills to compete in the global market.

Many projects were developed for this competition, including Suited for Success, a group which collects donated business clothing suitable for wearing to a job interview.

Athletes win right to work from NCAA •

By Chris Harry MIlegeloressSeivice

ORLANDO, Fla. — More than a year and countless passionate arguments later, the NCAA officially has signed off on a controversial rule that will allow studentathletes at its roughly 300 Division I institutions to hold part-time jobs - even if the jobs are arranged by school boosters.

"We are delighted to give student-athletes the opportunity to work in thisway," said Syracuse Chancellor Kenneth Shaw, who chairs the NCAA Division I Board of Directors. "We are pleased with the patience of the student-athletes as they allowed us time to work out the implementation details."

A similar right-to-work rule originally was passed in January 1997, during the final days of the NCAA's old governance structure. But the board, in its first major act as the new governing body, suspended it just as it was about to take effect last August.

The rule was passed Wednesday during the board's quarterly meeting in Indianapolis.

"It's about time they did something for us for a change," University of Florida sophomore defensive tackle Derrick Chambers said. "I think it's great because

it provides an opportunity for those individuals who need financial help." Said Bridgit Niland, a former University of Buffalo runner and head of the NCAA's student-athlete advisory committee: "It was a piece of legislation that was really thought through. They really did consider the welfare of the student-athlete, instead of just saying they were."

The rule, dubbed "Prop 62," will: — Permit $2,000 earnings over and above the value of a full scholarship.

— Permit athletic departments or athletic interests to intercede on behalf of student-athletes who have completed their first year of school.

— Exempt the $2,000 from counting as institutional aid and being included in the team limitations in the sport, unless the earnings are from employment in the athletic department. Recreational department work is exempt.

"We said we were going to do this, and we're doing it," Shaw said. "Now we monitor the effects."

And there will be "effects," according to opponents of the rule.

"It's going to be a disaster," said Tom Asbury, Kansas State men's basketball coach.

The great fear among coaches and administrators is

the potential abuse in which some athletes will be given money toward working. "(The NCAA) spent so much time trying to separate athletes from boosters and others in the business community," said Kirk Speraw, University of Central Florida men's basketball coach. "Now, this seems to open that door again."

UCF Athletic Director Steve Sloan concurred: "We usually question legislation that requires a lot of monitoring but is.borderline unenforceable."

Many fear that allowing boosters to line up jobs for athletes willlead to cheating. Another concern is that some schools will have advantages in recruiting.

Example: There are more job opportunities in Miami or Los Angeles than in Knoxville, Tenn., or Stillwater, Okla.

"Another fear of coaches is that those who want the extra money may be many of the same ones who need the extra time to study," said Chuck Neinas, the retired executive director of the College Football Association who heads a sports consultant firm. "Many coaches wanted to establish a minimum grade-point average of 2.5 before a student-athlete could work. But the NCAA said no."

Alcohol-related incidents may force Public relations students win PRSA Zenith Awards changes in national Greek system

By Steven Wedel gaffeIfa

F

raternities and alcohol.

The two words have seemed inseparable, at least since Animal House was released in the late 1970s.

Several recent events, including one involving UCO students, would apparently back up the stereotype.

Tragedies involving alcohol and members of the Greek system at large have brought the drinking problem to the national forefront, said Todd Colton, a UCO student and Sigma Tau Gamma member.

Just last week, Ernest L. Harris, 23, a student at Kansas State University (KSU) and pledge of Kappa Alpha Psi, was admitted to a Kansas City hospital with kidney injuries after a hazing incident. At the time he was admitted, his condition was serious but stable.

Jaimee Demby, Harris' fiancee, said the hazing got out of hand because some of the fraternity members were drunk.

Reports indicate Harris was beaten with fists, paddles and canes.

Harris, who was also injured before dropping out of the initiation process last year, will have to undergo dialysis to treat his injuries this time, said Dr. Ben Cowley of the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Kappa Alpha Psi has only four members on the KSU campus.

Nationally, Kappa Alpha Psi

has been linked to hazing incidents at two other universities, including one where a man died after being beaten, according to the AP story. That incident resulted in a $2.25 million lawsuit filed against the national organization.

The other incidents involved multiple injuries to inductees.

The injuries included cuts and infections to the buttocks caused by daily spankings, authorities said.

Other examples of this problem abound.

Earlier this month, an underage, intoxicated Alpha Tau Omega member from UCO was run over by a car driven by another underage, intoxicated member. The injured student is still recovering from serious internal injuries and the driver is facing several criminal charges.

In January, Indiana University (IU) police confiscated more than 100 cases of beer from the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity house. That fraternity has been suspended from all social functions, according to IU officials.

At Oregon State University, the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity is facing misdemeanor charges stemming from a November party where the fraternity provided alcohol to minors. The party left one member dead and two others crtically injured after a one-car accident.

Last September, both Phi Mu Delta and. Chi Phi fraternities at

1 POCKET MONEY

Penn State University were cited for furnishing alcohol to minors. A Phi Mu Delta member was found urinating in public and a Chi Phi member fell down a staircase. The week before, Penn State campus police cited 20 minors for underage drinking at the Kappa Delta Rho fraternity.

A letter provided to The Vista reflects what may be a national trend among many Greek organizations.

Brad A. Bartels, the Sigma Tau Gamma national president and author of the letter, refers to a resolution adopted at the National Interfraternity Conference in December that would encourage all member fraternities to "pursue alcoholfree housing."

According to Colton, that would mean there would be no alcoholic beverages allowed into the Greek houses. The members would not be barred from drinking elsewhere, however.

On the national level, Sigma Tau Gamma will consider alcohol-free housing at their 1998 Grand Chapter meeting in Norfolk, Va. "This issue may foster passionate debate," Bartels' letter stated. "The outcome is sure to impact the social atmosphere of every chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma."

Bartels went on to say that "when the dust from the debates settles...the Greek system as we know it may never be the same."

Private donors give money to the UCO Foundation specifically to award students with scholarships based on financial need, grades, and campus involvement, Hughes said.

"The beauty of dealing with the UCO Foundation is that some private donors do not want high honor students. They want to give their money to students who need financial help and are trying hard to succeed in school," said Hughes.

Hughes strongly recommends that each student attach a personal letter telling about themselves, their personal goals, and financial needs.

About 300 students receive a foundation scholarship every semester. "We are only allowed to award one-third of those students a scholarship," said Hughes.

UCO Child Study Center raising funds for new play equipment

By Mark A. Schneberger StafrAla CO students, regardless of major, U like to see young children happy.

That's what UCO officials are counting on in kicking off a fund drive to raise money for new playground equipment to be purchased for the Child Study Center.

The university hopes students and members of the general public will dig deep and help raise $25,000 for a very large piece of playground equipment to be placed outside the center.

The play piece will have slides, tubes, climbing areas and a myriad of other childcentered activity posts, said Sue McCauley, Child Study Center director. She has spearheaded the fundraiser.

It will replace the metallic dome-shaped piece of climbing equipment currently at the center of the playground.

"Because of the important impact made by maintaining a model program for children, we hope that the public will seriously consider supporting this program," she said.

Approximately 50 children per day visit the Child Study Center and play on the

Their playtime gives UCO students who major in child development and related areas the chance to work directly with young children and practice supervision skills.

But McCauley said the current playground equipment is in "critical need" of being replaced. Most are 10 years old or older and some don't meet federal guidelines for safety.

"They're outdated and have to be replaced," she said. "The children and students deserve better play equipment."

The replacement play piece eyed by the university has been tested for safety and sturdiness and comes with a 100-year warranty, McCauley said.

"There are very few things built today that will last a century," she said.

"This new equipment will make it possible for us to continue to create a world of wonder and discovery for all the children who pass through the doors in the years to come."

Donations in any denomination will be taken now through summer. Checks should be made payable to The UCO Foundation.

"We are deeply appreciative of any and all donations," said McCauley. "And if student (organizations) want to set up their own fund drives, that would be great too."

For more information, call McCauley at 341-2980, Ext. 5788. -4(

Writing assistance available through WAC

By Mark Lube StudentMiler

S

tudents who need assistance in writing skills can go to the Writing Assesment Center (WAC) in the Learning Resource Center located in Thatcher Hall Monday through Friday.

Karen Maltby, Director of Institutional Assesment and Academic Support, says the

WAC tries to help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and improve in their weak areas.

WAC does not proofread or edit students' assigments or papers, said Maltby.

Rather, WAC assists students, in critiquing their own papers, said Maltby.

Jeff Puckett, a WAC tutor, said every student is different and must be helped accordingly.

"You have to tailor it (tutoring session) to the person," said Puckett.

The WAC's hours vary during the day from Monday to Friday. On Monday and Thursday , the WAC closes at 7 p.m.. Tuesday and Wednesday, it closes at 5 p.m. and Friday, it closes at 3 p.m., said Maltby.

Students wishing to see tutors should contact the LRC at 341-2980 Ext. 2520 to set up an appointment.
