hat is going on? When I saw the breaking news story of the shooting in Jonesboro last week, instead of shock and outrage, all I could do as I read the details is shake my head. I thought, "Not another one. Why is this happening?" And now the nation wonders. Why is one of the most technologically and economically advanced nations in history failing at something so fundamental as raising happy, healthy, non-homicidal children? Since 1992, there have been six shootings by students in schools. If current trends continue, the FBI predicts that the number of juveniles arrested for murder will increase 145 percent by the year 2010. The National Association for the Prevention of Child Abuse reports over 3 million children in the U.S. were victims of neglect and abuse last year. Clearly we, as a culture, are not valuing our most precious resource—our children. The nurturing, teaching and protecting of our young is one of mankind's most basic responsibilities—one that is critical to our survival as a species. Hope this is a lesson we learn—soon. —Rhonda Bowden, Editor in chief

Student attacks columnist's humor, writing competence

S

core another point for Oklahoma-style blanketed hatred and generalized ignorance! Steven E. Wedel goes beyond disgusting in his article "Coming Out" (March 31 issue of The Vista). What is masked as "humor" takes misguided jabs at the already too-often targeted and well-hit subjects of abortion, homosexuality and, in unbelievably poor taste, AIDS. Mr. Wedel, yours are not new opinions in this state. In fact, you merely regurgitate the hate-filled rhetoric that has been around in Oklahoma for decades with your approach to these subjects. I find it both irresponsible and damaging that The Vista allows you to contribute this type of uninfomed "journalism" in an educational environment, even if

the writing is intended to be merely "entertaining." University training should allow for and guide students towards educated and openminded opinions, both in their thinking and in their writing. You display neither of these skills. It is also the responsibility of a university to promote understanding of different cultures and beliefs, to provide a well-rounded concepts of the human race and the world in which we live. Someone has seriously dropped the ball where you are concerned. As for the context of the piece, the fact that something is written with the intent of being humorous does not preclude if from having harmful effects,

both upon the subjects of the "jokes" and the joke-teller's intended audience. In other words, it's not okay to verbally attack any group in the manner that you did in your article and then stand back and say, "What's the matter, can't you take a joke?" Some things simply aren't appropriate to communicate in any format. As for your future plans, I'm sure the Daily Oklahoman would be happy to employ another narrow-minded, bigoted journalist who will only write what the conservative and religious-right groups want to hear. Again. And again . . . and again.

Punishment doubtful for ambitious Broncho Lake anglers By Mark Schneberger NsMaim'

S

tudents spotted fishing at Broncho Lake probably won't be stopped by campus police or be disciplined for their actions, campus security officials said this week. They said they have been given no authority to stop ambitious anglers from casting from the shore. Which, in essence, means anyone can fish the small watering hole which sits between the University Center and the Communications Building "I guess we could call in a game warden to issue a citation (for fishing at Broncho Lake), but we have to have some sort of regulation against it first," said Captain Christopher Wooldridge, of the Department of Public Safety.

"But right now there is no (policy) against fishing at the lake. So there's nothing we can do." Wooldridge's statements may contradict warnings issued by Auxiliary Enterprise department representatives recently about fishing Broncho Lake, however. Last week, officials there said casting for fish at the lake is against school policy and will not be permitted because of possible damage to the lake's liner. They said they are fearful that barbed hooks may tear a hole in the vinyl liner at the bottom of the pool and cause thousands of dollars in damage. However, no department representative could quote a policy which specifically prohibits fishing. Fishing at Broncho Lake is not covered

in the student handbook, and there are no signs near the lake which address the practice.The lack of policy may be good news for all students and faculty who want to try dragging fish from the lake's waters. It is especially comforting for Bob McDowell, who has been fishing the area for two weeks. He said he has caught several kinds of fish there, including bass. "I did it then and I do it now strictly for relaxation," he said. "And why stock the darn thing if you're not going to let people fish?" McDowell, a junior and student worker in the grounds department, said he decided to fish Broncho Lake after he realized there was no policy which prohibited it. He said he searched the student handbook, talked to

representatives of UCO's Department of Public Safety and spoke with grounds department officials about fishing before he began. "If they (want) to make that a nofishing area, they need to comply with the law and post signs," McDowell said. He also said he understood that fishing may damage the lake's liner, but felt there was already something wrong with the plastic tarp, because water seems to be continuously draining from the lake. He noted that the university recently was forced to open the fire hydrants near the lake to refill it after water levels dropped sharply. And they did so after a week of heavy rainfall. "I understand that they don't want their vinyl liner damaged, but their liner has been suspect since day one," he said. . 4

Bronze and Blue Fridays Contest, discounts designed to promote UCO school spirit By Sheri Tacker S7affiWita

S

tudents may notice a colorful change on the campus Friday that has nothing to do with paint or construction. UCO Bronze and Blue Fridays start tomorrow as a result of a new program developed by Student Services. Every Friday, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to dress in UCO's school colors, which are bronze and blue. Joe DiBello, special projects coordinator, said he decided a day like this was needed to boost school spirit. "I noticed that we don't have enough school spirit. I thought, 'What a better way to get school spirit than to wear the school colors and UCO apparel?" said DiBello. "I just don't see enough of that around here." "As a student at UCO, I am aware of the need for new traditions on our campus," he said. DiBello feels that pride is the most important quality missing from our

to participate. Flyers are also being sent out to all the main campus offices encouraging faculty, staff and administration to participate, he said. "We figure if the students see the

faculty do it they might think, 'Hey, its kind of cool," said DiBello. "We are trying to get some sort of incentive program to get people into it," he said. There will be volunteers roaming the campus on Fridays in major traffic areas looking for people participating. Those who are stopped could be awarded with a prize, said DiBello. "We might give them a coupon or something for a drink in the food court," said DiBello. "We are (also contacting) restaurants around town to see if they would be willing to donate a meal." The University Bookstore will be offering a 10 percent discount on regularly priced UCO apparel every Friday, said Bob Campbell, manager of the bookstore. "We're excited to participate in anything that will increase the UCO school spirit," said Campbell. For more information on UCO Bronze and Blue Fridays, call Joe DiBello at 3412980, Ext. 2361.

ixteen current and former UCO art students will be participating in a fiber arts exhibition in downtown Oklahoma City through May 28. The weaving exhibition, titled Connecting Strands, is being sponsored by the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center. The opening reception is today from 4 to 6 p.m. Dr. Jo Ann Adams, director of the fiber arts program at UCO, is an organizer of the event. The exhibit will display weavings such as tapestries, blankets and throws created by former and current UCO students, said Adams. "In the show we will have everything from what we call pattern weaving to creative, eclectic kind of weaving," said Adams. "Some of these (participants) are students that I presently have in class," said Adams. "A few are teaching and a few are graduate students." Dawn LaFollette, a UCO graduate student, is one such student who submitted her weavings in the event.

"(The exhibit) gives the students a sense of accomplishment and pride," said LaFollette. An added advantage of the show will be the chance to invite potential employers to the exhibit, said LaFollette. One of the most beneficial things about the show is the exposure for the students. "There's no better way to give students positive strokes than to show their work," she said. Connecting Strands may also provide an opportunity for participants to sell their pieces, said Adams. "I've used the title Connecting Strands as a metaphor—not only for weaving and interlacing but also interlacing and connecting with the community," she said. The exhibit is unique to downtown Oklahoma City because there are not many galleries that include fiber arts, said Adams. The weavings will be displayed in offices, hallways and a conference room at the Small Business office, said Adams. The exhibit will be open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m at the Oklahoma Small Business Development Center, 115 Park Ave, Oklahoma City. 4

Committee searching for UCO's best secretary By Lisa Tatum NWWHEW

441 don't know. Ask my secretary." It's a pat answer around most any place of business. They're the ones who make the ship sail smoothly—fielding phone calls, procuring paperwork and budgeting everything . from buttons to gigabytes for their befuddled bosses. They need little recognition, but neglect them this one day a year and you may find yourself sinking quicker than the Titanic. Secretary's Day is April 22 and it's still not too late to nominate your favorite office administrator as UCO's Secretary of the Year. Applications are being accepted until 5 p.m. today in the University Center Programs and Promotions Office. Secretaries who have worked full time in their current department at UCO for at least six months are eligible for the title and the $150 cash prize that accompanies it. The competition, sponsored by the President's Office and Auxiliary Enterprises, will be

judged by members of the Edmond Chamber of Commerce, said Emily Trowbridge, director of the University Center Programs and Promotions Office. Trowbridge said the winner will be recognized at the university's Secretary's Day Luncheon April 22. The luncheon, which begins at 11:30 a.m. in the University Center Grand Ballroom, is an annual event designed to honor UCO secretaries. Trowbridge said professors are encouraged to bring their secretaries to the luncheon to show their appreciation of them. The theme for this year's luncheon, she said, is "Whistle While You Work: A Stress Management Luncheon for Secretaries." M.C. Smothermon, an Oklahoma congressional candidate, will be the guest speaker. Tickets for the luncheon are $8.50 and can be purchased at the Housing Counter on the third floor of the University Center. For more information about nominating a secretary or attending the luncheon, call 3412980, Ext. 2245.

Child murderers Who's to blame for the lack of values in today's youth? By StevenE. Wedel StaffWeill

L

ast week, four precious children and one pregnant teacher were gunned down, apparently by two adolescent brats. Twelve others were wounded when the alleged shooters, ages 13 and 11, opened fire on a crowd of classmates in Jonesboro, Ark. The dead are buried. The nation has picked over the details of the shooting and made comparisons to similar incidents in the all-too-recent past. And the blame game has begun. If the two boys accused of this crime are found guilty, who is responsible for what they did? Some will blame the guns. A television news show aired footage of home video showing the youngest of the two boys receiving toy guns as gifts—then a real shotgun when he was six years old. The implied message seemed to be that owning guns make a person a killer. Owning a hammer does not make a person a carpenter anymore than owning a gun makes a person a killer. Still, there will be those who advocate stricter gun laws as an attempt to prevent this kind of crime. If every gun in the world could be destroyed, and the

No, I am not saying women should be shackled to kitchen appliances. I am saying we have to remember that we, as individuals, are not as important as the whole. We have to stop thinking only of what is good at the moment and think on a larger scale. We have to look at the values of the next generation and realize they know only what we are teaching them. We are teaching them that marriage vows are not necessary and certainly not as binding as they sound. We are teaching them that killing people on a computer screen is really not good, but we don't care enough to explain to them how it's different than killing a real person—real people can't get up to play again when someone hits the reset button. We are teaching them that we really don't care about anything unless it inconveniences us. We cannot legislate morality. We cannot force families to stay together and we cannot force parents to raise their children to respect the rights, or the lives, of

others. I think we could, however, implement legislation that would make the parents, married or not, share equal responsibility for the crimes of their children. Perhaps the threat of fines, imprisonment or even execution would make people examine the values they are passing on to their children. How many more cities like Jonesboro, Paducah, Ky., or Pearl, Miss. have to be wrapped in a shroud of mourning before we acknowledge the problem? How many visions of school yards turned red with the blood of innocent children must we see before admitting we are the problem? How long before you, or your children, are in the sights of someone else's latchkey murderer?

Anti-s weatsop code for logo gear doesn t go fi zjr en-O-Uragh

D

uke University scored big media points with its bold antisweatshop initiative, and other players in the $2.5 billion business of college logo gear are lining up to follow suit. But human rights advocates and others say such codes must go further. "It's a really terrific first step," said Diane Bratcher, a spokeswoman for the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility in New York. "But the Duke thing has a couple of weaknesses." Duke - one of the hottest names in Tshirts, sweat suits, caps and such - has about 700 licensees, who manufacture around the world and ring up $20 million a year selling Duke items. Under rules introduced Monday, Duke licensees risk losing rights to the valuable name if they use prison or child labor, allow unsafe working conditions or fail to pay at least the minimum wage. In a first for universities, Duke's code also requires licensees to allow outside monitors in their plants. Duke's plan won kudos from U.S. Labor Secretary Alexis Herman. "No matter what the outcome on the college basketball courts during March madness, one thing is for sure, Duke University is the national slam-dunk champ in the fight against sweatshop labor," Herman said. The anti-sweatshop movement is taking hold as apparel manufacturing increasingly moves to low-wage countries, where working conditions are often poor and labor laws lax. Universities recognize a serious threat to their image if they profit on goods made by young children or adults laboring for pennies in unsafe squalor. But universities, especially those with hot sports teams, also want to continue cashing in on lucrative logo

Duke's university's guidelines also are similar to those devised U.S. Labor Secretary code and others call for paying at least the last year by a presidential NONAMAVAM task force of human rights groups, labor minimum wage or the prevailing industry unions, religious leaders and some of the wage in an area. But those wages are nation's largest clothing makers - including sometimes so low that even working 80 some criticized for treating foreign hours a week might not yield a paycheck that covers such basic needs as food, employees poorly. Duke also has been talking with North clothing and shelter. "Typically, the prevailing or market Carolina State University, the University of wage is a starvation wage," said North Carolina at Chapel Hill and others. Interfaith Center's Bratcher. "If a UNC—whose licensees do $75 million a year in sales—expects to have an anti company is just paying that, it may be that their workers have to live in slums, have to sweatshop draft ready in a few weeks. "The design marks that symbolize the choose between food and rent." Interfaith, representing religious university also need to symbolize the principles of the university," said Rutledge investors with $75 billion in assets, is part Tufts, UNC's auxiliary services director. of the apparel code partnership. Within that "It's very important that the licensing group, Interfaith is pushing for tougher institutions ... are acting together. In the wage requirements. Duke should do the long run, we feel that will have a greater same, Bratcher said. "The workers that make the products impact." Critics say Duke's code and the Apparel with Duke's name should not be starving,"

she said. Jim Wilkerson, Duke's licensing director, said licensees should "recognize that wages are important to meeting employees' basic needs." He characterized Duke's plan as a first step. "We recognize that the potential exists for our products to be manufactured in abusive and exploitive labor environments," he said. "We want to be certain that our opposition to that is clear." Apparel contractor codes also are getting heat for being light on enforcement. "For it to be more than just a media-PR thing . . . you have to have monitoring, inspections and a sustainable living wage," said Lora Jo Foo, president of Sweatshop Watch, a small, nonprofit, watchdog group in San Francisco. "Otherwise, you're just monitoring to make sure sweatshops continue." Duke requires independent monitoring, but that isn't as straightforward as it sounds. First of all, Duke doesn't know where its licensees make goods. The university has licensees in 35 countries, including China and Indonesia, two nations criticized for poor working conditions. But licensees doesn't necessarily manufacture in their native countries. As part of its code, Duke requires all licensees to identify manufacturing sites, and they will be subject to inspection. Because this is such a new field, there isn't even agreement on who is best suited to monitor. Interfaith advocates for church groups and representatives. Duke says it might use accounting firms. Corporate supporters of the apparel partnership argue for using their own auditors, which sets up a potential conflict of interest. —From College Press Service
