he arrest of an Oklahoma man Feb. 11 may be linked to the disappearance of former UCO international student Mayuko Kawase.

Kevin Lee Cassil, 24, was arrested Monday on complaints of robbery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

G.R. Riggs said they are investigating a possible link and do not want to comment at this point.

Kawase was an OKCCC student who transferred from UCO. She was believed to have been on the OKCCC campus before her disappearance on August 21, 2001. Kawase's host mother Phyllis Switzer has lead teams searching for her. Before the arrest of Cassil, there had been no leads in this case.

"There have been no leads at

all, it's like she just vanished," she said.

Police spokeswoman Capt.

Jessica Cummins said Oklahoma City Community College student Tam Minh Tram, 21, was approached by Cassil on her way to her car after class. He attacked her with a stun gun and choked her.

He put her in her car and drove them out of the parking lot. Tram woke up and fought back at her attacker. A bystander noticed the struggle in the

vehicle and called the police.

When Officer Donald Drake arrived he found Cassil attempting to bind Tram with strapping tape and a black necktie. The man fled from the officer, but Drake chased and captured him.

Cassil is being held in the Oklahoma County Jail. • Log on to www .thevistaonline.corn 24 hours a day for campus news or to sound off on current issues.

o you look good in a tuxedo? Can you sing, dance or play an instrument? If so, the Mr. UCO 2002 pageant may be for you.

The Mr. UCO 2002 pageant is sponsored by the University Center Activities Board (UCAB) and will take place in Constitution Hall on April 6.

To be eligible, contestants must meet certain standards.

Kimber Schafer, director of Programs and Promotions and UCAB sponsor, gave a list of requirements.

"They must be students in the 2002 spring semester, at 9 hours undergraduate or 6 hours graduate," Schafer said. " They also have to have at least a 2.0 GPA, not be on probation, and not [be] convicted of a crime."

The pageant will consist of 5 competitions: evening wear, casual wear, formal interview, on-stage interview and talent.

Gingiss Formal Wear will be contributing to the evening wear portion of the event, providing contestants with tuxedos. The contestants will

D

wear slacks and shirts during the casual wear competition.

However, unlike the Miss UCO and Miss Black UCO pageants, there will not be a swimwear competition for Mr. UCO 2002.

"I don't know why we don't have one," said Schafer.

"We've never had one."

Contestants may perform any type of talent for the pageant.

"It can be anything in good taste," Schafer said, "like monologues, pantomime, reciting a poem, or playing an instrument."

Up to $1000 in cash and prizes will be awarded to the winners, including a $300 book scholarship for Mr. UCO 2002.

Awards will also be presented for first runner-up, second runner-up, people's choice, and Mr. Congeniality.

The last entry day is Friday, Feb. 22, at 5 p.m. Applications will be accepted in Rooms 309G and 309-D of the University Center. Anyone interested can contact Programs and Promotions at 974-2245. •

LETTERS Reader gives 'different perspective' on faculty pay card system

I

f I may, I would like to comment on a portion of the remarks made by Dr. Sandra Mayfield, President, UCO chapter of the AAUP, your in Feb. 5 edition.

First, I want to make it clear that I make these comments as an individual faculty member. I am not trying to advance the agenda of an organization like the AAUP. I am, rather, trying to give your readers a different perspective on the issue of the faculty pay card besides that of Dr. Mayfield who bases her argument on the concept of shared university governance.

Dr. Mayfield reports that a Faculty Senate survey shows the faculty "overwhelming" supports the faculty pay card, which determines faculty pay on two main factors, academic rank and years of service. A more accurate statement would have been that the faculties of Liberal Arts and Education overwhelming support

the pay card. The same survey shows that the faculty of Mathematics and Science had mixed feelings about the pay card while the faculty of Business had strong negative feelings about it.

The "overwhelming" support in this case appears to be in the eye of the beholder.

Two colleagues and myself recently spent an entire summer analyzing the faculty pay structure at all of the four-year state suppotted universities in Oklahoma. This study has been made available to the UCO administration. At the time of our analysis, UCO was the only university to use the pay card exclusively in determining faculty salaries. Southeastern and Southwestern used what they called a "faculty pay schedule" but both of these universities also used a market adjustment factor in conjunction with their "faculty pay schedule."

Our research clearly shows that at the assistant and associate professor levels UCO had the highest average salary among the four-year state supported universities in Oklahoma. At the professor level UCO had the third highest salary level. However when you break these figures down you find that the pay card, as applied at UCO, has resulted in a faculty pay structure that generally overpays the faculty in some colleges (Education and Liberal Arts) when compared to the state average salary for the same rank and discipline. It also generally underpays the faculty in other colleges (Business and Math and Science) when compared to the state average salary for the same rank and discipline. Perhaps the reason that the Education and Liberal Arts faculties "overwhelmingly" support the pay card is because it is to their economic benefit to do so.

Dr. Mayfield, a member of the College of Liberal Arts, and a hypothetical College of Business faculty member with the same rank and years of service would make the same salary under the UCO pay card.

Dr. Mayfield, however would receive 104.14 percent of the

state average pay for someone of her rank while the hypothetical College of Business faculty member would receive 90.68 percent of the state average pay for someone of the same rank. The UCO percentages of the state same

UCO to begin community service in The BIG Event project

BY SARA MUNN

I

Staff Writer

ocal charities met with UCO faculty and students on Monday, Feb. 11, to discuss UCO's participation in The BIG Event, a student community service project.

Started at Texas A&M in 1982, The BIG Event will allow UCO students and faculty to show their appreciation for local businesses by donating their time and energy to the Edmond, Guthrie and north Oklahoma City communities. This will be UCO's first time participating in The BIG Event, joining over 30 universities nationwide.

"By taking part in this special day, we are making a statement to our community," said Dr. Kathryn Gage, Vice President of Student Services. "We enjoy so many great blessings. There are so many

people who are less fortunate."

Gage also expressed her personal interest in The BIG Event and encouraged attendants to find a cause "you can be passionate about."

"For a child to suffer is an assault on my senses," Gage said. She added, "I am declaring war on the cigarette butts of Shannon Miller Park."

The informational breakfast also included a speech by Leslie Litton, chair of The BIG Event at the University of Oklahoma. Litton gave a personal account of her experiences with the community service event.

"It's great way for everyone to get together. It's a totally win-win situation," Litton said. "It's an opportunity to say 'thank you' to our community. There is such an array of things that need to be done. So many things can happen during [The BIG Event] that maybe

students will make a life-long commitment to community service."

The BIG Event will take place on April 6, starting with an opening ceremony with President Webb. The kickoff will take place at Broncho Lake and the University Center Ballroom on April 5. The theme of UCO's first BIG Event will be ."Saluting Service," and is sponsored by the Volunteer Center.

The BIG Event is only for UCO students, faculty and staff. Both student organizations and individual students are encouraged to attend.

"Our goal is 1,500 students participating," said Veronica Pena, coordinator of the Volunteer Center and BIG Event cochairperson.

Forms are available through the Volunteer Center, and the deadline for applications is March 13. Any interested students or groups can contact the Volunteer Center, at 974-2621. •

op ranked UCO wrestling broke the school singleseason win record with their 15th victory overpowering Southern—Illinois Edwardsville 36-7 Thursday, Feb. 14.

The Bronchos' eight individually—ranked wrestlers manhandled their opponents through two pins, one technical fall, and three major decisions.

"Number one, we're ready for the postseason. We finished on a positive note being the first team to win fifteen," commented

When is Kickboxing Dangerous?

Coach David James after his team's season ending 15th consecutive dual victory.

Shawn Silvis began the record-breaking night at 165 getting into position and riding his opponent into the ground with a 13-0 major decision.

Jeff Henning toyed with SIUE's 184-pounder allowing him to score only by letting him up for an escape just to take him down again. Henning easily took the 24-8 technical fall victory.

At 197, Muhammed Lawal roughed up his opponent in an awesome display of strength repeatedly lifting him off the mat and slamming him down for the takedown. Lawal won the match with an amazing pin in the first period.

Cole Province took his match by major decision 9-1 to put UCO up 24-7 in the dual. After a close first period and a near SIUE comeback at 141, Matt Dodgen fended off his opponent 8-4.

The Broncho's Michael Barreras got a takedown with nine seconds left in the third period of the 149 match to pull out a close 7-6 victory.

Nathan Gomez worked over Southern Illinios-Edwardsville's 157 man for ten points and 2 minutes and 17 seconds of riding time in the first period. Then Gomez ended it decisively pinning his opponent in the

second period putting UCO well over the top 36-7.

The shaky wins in the 141 and 149 weight classes are hopefully the last kinks UCO wrestling has this season. The 15-1, No. 1 seeded team is looking for their 13th consecutive Midwest Regional crown and several national qualifiers this year.

Coach James is confident in UCO's potential to do well in the postseason. "I've said it before and I'll say it again. When we go to the mat and wrestle, we do things well."

UCO is taking an extremely talented team to regional competition.

Cole Province currently ranked third at 133 is the returning national champion, and Muhammed Lawal ranked No. 1 at 197 is a returning AllAmerican and national qualifier.

Also returning as national qualifiers are No.5 Nathan Gomez (1571bs) and third ranked Shawn Silvis (1651bs). Chris Saferite ranked fifth and Jeff Henning fourth bring high hopes for the 125 and 184 weight class.

UCO is a major favorite in the upcoming, national qualifying NCAA Midwest Regional at Aberdeen, South Dakota Feb. 24.

If the Bronchos take the tournament there, they will be headed for the 2002 NCAA Division II Championships. •

Bronchos split double header

BY BRIAN HOSTETLER

U

Sports Editor

CO followed up their first loss of the season with a 10-5 come-from-behind victory over Lincoln University, splitting a double header Feb. 16 at Broncho Field.

"We didn't come to the field ready to play today and they (Lincoln) took it to us in the first game," said UCO coach Wendell Simmons. "We were out played in all phases of the game for about eight innings before we finally came around and started playing better.

The mighty Bronchos proved to be human after all as they dropped the opening game 9-3.

Ricky Belk (1-1) couldn't fool the Blue Tiger bats as they tagged him with seven runs in only 1 2/3 innings.

The start was reminiscent of Belk's last outing where he was hit early, but was able to settle down in the later innings for the win. Unfortunately, fate wasn't in the cards this time around as Belk couldn't make it out of the second.

The UCO bat's finally came uncorked in the fourth, scoring three on RBI singles by Barrett Whitney and Brian Coy and a sacrifice fly by Blake Harper.

The loss was Belk's first of his UCO career. He had previously series4 with. Central Missouri Feb. won his last 15 straight games

dating back to last year.

The Bronchos used five pitchers in the game. Despite the nine runs allowed, the Broncho arms combined for 13 Tiger strikeouts.

The nightcap started, out discouragingly similar. The Blue Tiger's posted four runs in the first off Blake Honeycutt (2-0), but the lefty was able to knuckle-down and hold the Lincoln offense to only one run the rest of the way.

UCO put two runs on the board in both the second and third innings to narrow the deficit to 5-4. The Bronchos were finally able to jump on top in the fourth off John Rogers' two-run single to put UCO up 6-5.

Another run was put on Lincoln in a bizarre fifth that didn't even involve a Broncho hit. Whitney started things out on the receiving end of a bean ball. He then proceeded to second on a sacrifice bunt and was moved to third on back-toback walks that loaded the bases.

Coy then knocked him in with a sacrifice fly.

After wrapping up their three game series with Lincoln, the Bronchos travel to Chickasha for a game with Science and Arts of Oklahoma on Feb. 21 at 2 p.m.

SPORTS UCO women oust SWOSU Bulldogs

BY DARA LAWLESS

Sports Writer

U

CO women's basketball ended a frustrating losing streak when they literally shot down Southwestern Oklahoma 78-66 Saturday, February 16.

The Bronchos's excellent performance was uncharacteristic of a team sitting at the bottom of their division.

Coach John Keely could have made the understatement of the year when he humbly remarked, "We've been practicing better, our confidence is better, and we're playing better."

Ken Smith getting the gameopening tip over Southwestern's 6'4 defender could have been prophetic of UCO overcoming the higher placed Bulldogs.

The Broncho's sizzling offensive shot nearly 51 percent from the field and 85 percent from the line during the game.

"Amy Guffy for three!" was the announcer's favorite phrase as she led the team with 27 points,

six accredited to the trey.

Smith made more of an impact than just getting the tip off, following Guffy with 23 points. Smith's sweet touch shot has made her UCO's leading scorer in 17 of 24 games played.

Smith also capped off a magical first half by taking Southwestern's big girl to the hole for two in the final seconds.

SWOSU didn't help themselves the second half by countering a poor offense attack with horrendous passing skills.

Add a totally ineffective half court press into the equation and Southwestern just didn't have what it took.

It was almost unreal how the Broncho shots fell, while Southwestern couldn't buy a bucket. An on the ball UCO defense certainly didn't make things easy for the Bulldogs either. • Log on to www.thevistaonline.com 24 hours a day for campus news or to sound off on current issues.

Bronchos fall to Bulldogs 108-104

BY DARA LAWLESS Sports Writer

CO came up short 108-104 losing a fast paced, nail biter to long time rival Southwestern State Bulldogs Feb. 16.

The Bronchos practically gave it all in the action packed first half to slide ahead 58-49, but left no reserves to fight off Southwestern's second half comeback.

There was no resting for either side in the first half of play. To blink watching this game was often to miss an offensive and defensive series.

UCO ran down the Bulldogs and shot around 56 percent from the field. The Bronchos also did a great job of drawing the fouls and capitalizing on them with flawless shooting from the line.

Unfortunately for UCO, the second half was a different story with a different ending. The game slowed down considerably as the Bronchos were unable to keep up the high pace.

Southwestern's offensive came out on fire shooting close to 62 percent to overtake UCO's ninepoint lead and didn't fizzle out in

the long stretch. The exhausted Bronchos with only three substitutes stalled out just enough to let SWOSU sneak by.

Having difficulties shooting off of tired legs and receiving no breaks from Southwestern's offense made it hard for UCO to make a comeback.

The final minutes proved a spirited struggle between two

For this I thank forced to offer to comply with the the treatment of hangnails, would them. This has not cured the pay card. Or departments in the College of Business are offering fewer and fewer sections (many of them taught by adjuncts) of a constantly shrinking number of ton courses to more and more students. This is not in the best interest of the university or our students.

My department is not one of those currently receiving a market adjustment but I feel no animosity for the faculty members in departments that are. My personal objection to Dr. Mayfield's position on faculty pay is not about money but rather it is about recognition of the problem the pay California has committed $53.3 billion card has caused, especially in the College of Business. I do not want to education, and we need you to fulfill to take any money out of Dr. our promise to students.

Mayfield's pocket, but I would like her to admit what the data says, that some UCO faculty are overpaid, compared to the statewide average pay, while many of her colleagues are underpaid.

This is utter nonsense. The market value of the skills of the two physicians would certainly be considered in setting their compensation levels.
