LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
UCOSA representative questions leadership ome of the things that I admire most about Dale Archer (Speaker of the House) are his vision, diligence, creativity and emotional maturity. However, I find most unfortunate that he employs these valued traits in an effort to further develop and maintain a technocratic monarchy. But what is worse, it is disguised in the appearance of democracy. Mr. Archer has set up a student government that reflects the U. S. House of Representatives in many ways. He has acquired the powers of House speaker and has appointed people who meet his standards to positions in house leadership (UCOSA H.R. 6-11, 6-21, 7-5). These positions include Deputy Speaker of the House, Floor Leader, and all standing committee (Ethics, Election, Rules, Campus Affairs and Budget) chairpersons and committee members. Mr. Archer can also create and/or eliminate any type of committee at will (UCOSA H.R. 7-1, 7-2). He also has the power to remove all individuals in house

leadership roles from office at will and without cause (UCOSA H.R. 6-7). It is my .opinion that this is too much power in the hands of one individual. My greatest criticism of house leadership is in how the power is used. The system is not "user friendly" to all members. Leadership's weapon of choice is the abusive use of parliamentary procedure. For example, although there is a house rules committee, final interpretation of all rules rest in the speaker (UCOSA H.R. 1-7). Yes, the chair's decision can be challenged and referred to the rules committee (UCOSA H.R. 1-8), however, there is no provision or maximum time limit for committee ruling. I believe that campus organizational leaders should have more input in the design and creation of their house of the legislature. —Rep. Kenny D. Freeman
Reader defends minorities, criticizes columnist remain surprised by the conservative slant from which this paper and Steven E. Wedel choose to report. In the "traditional" America Mr. Wedel describes, Tiger Woods would be unknown. Walt Whitman's poetry would be banned (due to his lack of "moral character") and Rosa Parks would be sitting at the back of the bus. Do we want to be "traditional" America again? I am not asking anyone to disregard their personal values. I am asking that you allow others to have values different from your own and discontinue

Women's reproductive rights not Wedel's business, student charges
I
n his column entitled "Abortion: Celebration the Freedom to Kill During Women's History Month" in The Vista (March 5, 1998) Steven E. Wedel marginalizes the advances of the Women's Movement in the United States. He also fails to establish one key point: How are the reproductive rights of women any of his business? He alludes to the fact that women are celebratory over the right to have an abortion. In contradistinction to Mr. Wedel's thesis, I would guess that few decisions in a woman's life are more troublesome than the decision to abort a pregnancy. Women in this situation need our support and our compassion. Ostensibly to support his position, Mr. Wedel offers a rambling de-ontological argument involving a coma patient which has no nexus with the abortion debate and which would better be served in an essay on euthanasia. Columnist Wedel may not remember when abortion in this country was illegal, but I do remember. Women' had to leave the United States
to have a safe abortion in a sterile, clinical facility. This meant that abortions were available to the wealthy, while disenfranchising poor women who had to seek an illegal abortionist, induce spontaneous abortions, or carry unwanted children full term. Many women died while performing invasive procedures to end their pregnancy. I agree wholeheartedly that abortions are no reason to celebrate, however, giving people safe alternatives in their options is a step in a positive direction. Mr. Wedel also asserts that the issue of abortion "is not a gender issue." Oh really? Many men see themselves in the role of moralist in a debate to which, unless specifically invited, they play no role. In the biological phenomenon of birth, men play the passive role and women play the active role. I might suggest that his juxtaposition is what is central to the whole abortion issue. Many men still continue to view women as subordinate and in need of their guidance. If we were living in a society of "Real Men" who could be counted on to provide for the care and raising of their children, this would not be as V'

Fred Drasner Chief Executive Officer
An Open Letter to Students Planning to Attend Law School from
U.S.News & World Report Dear Student:
DON'T YOU JUST HATE TO BE GRADED? Well, by their shrill protests about LLS.Ncws & World Report law school rankings, so do most of the deans of the law schools you are considering. However, as a law school graduate with both a J.D. and a LL.M. degree, I can tell you that these same deans will subject you to rigorous grading. You will be required to endure lectures from tenured professors who have not changed their class notes since the Battle of Hastings. Then, after attending class for a full semester, you will be given one exam to determine your grade.. One exam, one semester, one grade. One roll of the dice to measure your performance. At U.S.Ncws & World Report we are far more equitable (to use a legal term). We have a multi-faceted, multidimensional, sophisticated ranking system developed and evolved over many years to give you guidance on what may be one of your largest financial investments and certainly one of the most important choices for your career in law and perhaps beyond. While our law school rankings should not be the only criteria in your choice of a law school, they should certainly be an important part of the analysis. Get your copy of U.S.Ncws & World Repot Cs Bcst Graduate Schools guide on. newsstands now Or, to make it easier for you to see the book that 164 law school deans would prefer you not see (notwithstanding their commitment to the First Amendment), call 1-800-836-6397 (ask for extension 5105) and I will arrange for a copy of the book to be sent directly to you at $1 off the newsstand price.* This will also ensure that you have a copy of these important rankings because, as a result of publicity surrounding the deans' determination to have you ignore the rankings, they are a very hot item. -
These law school rankings are a small part of our philosophy of Ncws You Can (Lc: information we bring you in each issue of the magazine to help you manage your life. Good luck in law school and good luck on making the right choice. Kindest Regards. Sincerely,

HACKER
Continued from front page who may have done it and we're keeping the UCO police informed about anything we learn." If found, the hacker could face a host of local and federal charges, Kessinger said. He said the school will likely prosecute anyone found in direct connection with the incident. Kessinger would not speculate about how the hacker could have gained access to the server or made the changes. He said only that he was worried that news about the incident would encourage others to repeat the feat. "They've proven they're very clever, but they need to put their efforts into something more productive," he said. University Information Technology officials said little real damage was done to the Internet site, which is the first contact many prospective students have with UCO. Kessinger said the only true losses were ones of time, effort and reputation.
"This is very embarrassing," he said about the incident, which he claimed was the first one of its kind to happen at UCO. Kessinger also noted that only the main home page was altered, though he knows several rumors are being circulated, including one about all UCO web sites being linked to pages filled with pornographic pictures. "Those are not true," he said. Michael Morkus, University Relations spokesman, said he repaired the damage by reloading 75 university-related web pages and several graphics. His department is responsible for overseeing all content on the UCO school sites. "It took some time but it's back to the way it was before this happened," he said. "The (hacker) obviously knew what he was doing." In addition, the university has implemented stronger safeguards to prevent similar incidents from happening. Kessinger would not offer specifics about the security measures, however.
State regents redesign web pages with updated, added information By Lisa Tatum staff
one are the days of poring over pamphlets to find information about college. Students can now find information about Oklahoma colleges and universities on the Internet. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education recently redesigned their web pages to give students "one-stop" access to information on topics like admission standards, financial aid and transfer policies. "Oklahoma higher education has been providing information to students in numerous publications distributed to Oklahoma high schools and colleges and universities," said Chancellor Hans Brisch. "Posting the information at one location on the Internet is another way we can conveniently provide information to students, as well as to their parents, and ensure that Oklahomans have
access to the latest information," he said. The Information for Students site, located at .www.okhighered.org, targets junior high and high school students, college students, transfer students and adult students. The four web pages include a link to an Oklahoma map with locations of public and private colleges and universities. Information on the individual institutions can be accessed through the web site. The web pages for college, transfer and adult students also link to the Oklahoma Electronic Campus, which provides information on more than 600 undergraduate and graduate courses offered electronically by Oklahoma's state colleges and universities. Access is also available to an electronic course transfer guide that lists approximately 3,800 courses that can transfer from one Oklahoma state college or university to another. -

Liberal Arts student symposium registration ends tommorrow By Sheri Tacker SINWriter
M
arch 27 is the deadline for participation in this year's College of Liberal Arts Symposium. The 1998 College of Liberal Arts Symposium will be held April 15 in the Liberal Arts Building. Six hours of presentations will begin at 8 a.m. and last until 2 p.m. Classes in the Liberal Arts building will not be held during the symposium so students can attend the presentations. The symposium is an opportunity for students to present their work to faculty as well as fellow students, said Dr. Jan Hardt, chairperson of the symposium. Work 'presented could be papers students have written, a musical performance, or a multimedia exhibition. In previous years, student activity groups established debate panels, said Hardt.
"Students in the past have danced, created Internet exhibits, and used multimedia for their presentations," said Hardt. Some of last year's topics included: "Censoring the Internet," "Women in International Culture," and "The Challenge of Interpreting History." "There are no requirements to give a presentation," said Hardt. "In the past we have had 500 to 600 students participate," she said. The College of Liberal Arts Symposium is conducted like a professional conference, she said. About 75 panels will participate with 10 to 20 presentations being given an hour. "It is an event where the focus is on the undergraduate and graduate students alike," said Hardt. The theme for this year's event is, "The Millennium—the Technocultural Interface for the Future." Anyone interested in doing a presentation should call Hardt at 341-2980, Ext. 5840.
Students make up story to star on Jenny Jones
D
on't believe everything you see on television, because a 21-year-old Ohio State University journalism major, along with his roommate, scammed an all-expense paid trip to Chicago to appear on the Jenny Jones show. Nathan Collins and his roommate, Frank Munyon, made up a story after watching an episode of the show that requested viewers to call if they had bullied someone during grade school but wished to apologize for it. To be considered for the show, Collins spun an interesting yarn. "I told them that I held him down and shaved his nipples, `de-pantsed' him and threw food at him," he said. To really lay it on thick, Collins told the operator he had picked on Munyon because Munyon had a chipped tooth. Collins said he empathized with Munyon years later because he also had wound up losing one of his front teeth. "I also told them that Frank dropped out of school and that I
thought it might be because I was so cruel to him," he said. The ruse worked. Collins and Munyon were the first set of guests booked for the show. Collins took notes on what he had told the show's producers so he and Munyon could keep their stories straight. It was a smart move, Collins said, because the producers called both men several times to corroborate_ their stories. On March 4, the roommates were flown to separate Chicago airports and had limousines waiting for them when they arrived. Collins said they were driven to separate four-star hotels and given $40-a-day bar and restaurant tabs. The taping was March 6. While in Chicago, Collins said he and Munyon went out together and called each other regularly. A spokeswoman from the Jenny Jones show was unable to answer questions regarding how guests are chosen, how stories are validated and who pays for guests' travel costs. —College Press Service

Remembering Let h UCO junior lives on in memories of friends and family By Bill Whisman ShiffWM& Even though Leigh Blackstock, 21, a junior psychology major at UCO died from injuries sustained in a car accident in December, Amber Fields and Jennifer Vails are still trying to deal with the loss of their best friend. On Dec. 11, Blackstock went to a bar with her best friends, Fields and Vails, who are both 21 and UCO students. "One of Leigh's pet peeves was driving. She hated to drive. We always had to drive her everywhere," said Vails. "We would drive her car. That's kind of what happened that night. Somebody else was driving her car to drop somebody off and she never showed back up, so Leigh had to ride home with somebody else," said Fields. At approximately 1:45 a.m., Fields and Blackstock left the bar with a friend, said Vails. "We were driving home. Leigh was on the passenger side and I was in the middle. I was asleep and I don't know what

Before we came to UCO, Leigh and I were roommates at Oklahoma State University. Leigh hated it because she missed her mom," said Fields. "Leigh's dream was for her and her mom to move to Vermont, where Leigh could be a psychiatrist," said Vails. Aside from her mom and Vermont, Leigh loved animals, especially her pet pit bull terrier named Baby Girl. "That's one of the reasons Leigh wanted to go home that night. She was going to stay with me but she wanted to be with her dog. Even her dog's vet came to the funeral," said Vails. "If I could talk to Leigh one more time I would tell her what a good friend she was and I would tell her how much I loved her," said Vails. "We were like sisters. We fought like sisters but Leigh understood that I loved her. I think I would ask her what it's like (in heaven), how is it, are you having fun?" said Fields.
In the sixth, grade Fields wrote a poem about Leigh on a tattered peice of wide-ruled notebook paper. Fields has kept the poem for almost ten years. Printed in faded pencil is the poem she wrote:
Leigh and Me This is a poem about-me, And my best friend Leigh, We always do homework together, And we will be friends forever, When people think about me, They usually start to think about Leigh, Mr. Harlen thinks we're twins, Because we always act like friends.

ABORTION Continued from page 2 large an issue as it is. Unfortunately, we live in a society where too many "Real Men" emerge only for about four hours per week on Silver Coin Beer nights at Incahoots, Angles or Mardi Gras and then revert back to their former selves after their conquests, leaving the women alone to deal with the consequences. In closing, it distresses me to see The Vista broach the topic of Women's History Month with such a narrow focus and in such a negative light, when it should have been an opportunity to showcase the accomplishments of women.
There is vastly more to the success of the women's movement than the issue of abortion. Women, including and aside from the handful named in the article, have made very significant contributions to all aspects of society. I hope that this broader focus is the topic of at least one positive article in The Vista during Women's History Month.

They lost to West Texas A&M in a 10-4 game at the Lone Star Conference FirstPitch Tournament in Abilene, Texas. The Bronchos again fell to the Buffaloes on March 21, when West Texas defeated them in a 6-1 contest held in Canyon, Texas. The Bronchos also fell to Mankato State at Canyon, when the Bronchos went down in a 11-7 game. The Bronchos tried to recover from their losses to the Buffaloes the next day, but West Texas dropped them for a third time in a 8-4 victory. The Bronchos have lost five of their last six outings. Central Oklahoma has an overall record of 15-6, with a LSC North Division record of 2-0.
The Bronchos will try to break their losing streak this weekend, when they go to Ada, Okla. to face East Central in the first of a four-game home-and-home series on Friday. Broncho Notes • UCO is batting .388 as a team, averaging 10.1 runs and 12 hits a game but the Bronchos have scored just 16 runs in their four-game losing streak. • Junior Zac Zanowiak was moved to first base last weekend after splitting time at designated hitter and second base. He's batting .492 on the year, having hit safely in 18 of 20 games played. • Third basemen Wes McSwane has moved back to third base, the position he stared the second half of last season, after starting out this spring at shortstop. He's riding a nine-game hitting streak and is batting .437 with 10 doubles, three home runs and two triples. • UCO has stolen 64 bases in 73 attempts.

John Travolta, as presidential candidate Jack Stanton, with Emma Thompson as his wife and Adrian Lester as Henry Burton, part of the Stanton team, star in this not-so-subtle parody of Bill Clinton and the U.S. political system. (Photo courtesy of Universal Studios) (RATINGS: The movies listed below are rated according to the following key: 4 stars — excellent; 3 stars — good; 2 stars — fair; 1 star — poor.)
OUR. FLICK OF THE WEEK is Primary Colors, which is a shocking indictment of the private behavior of candidate William Jefferson Clinton during his first presidential primary campaign, as well as our national political agenda that has become more preoccupied with scandal than with social policy. Indeed, it is significant in the Mike Nichols' film of Elaine May's treatment of Joe Klein's novel of that campaign that absolutely no political ideas are even debated. Some scare-tactic allegations are exchanged between the candidates and older voters about whom is more likely to cut Social Security payments, but that's it when it comes to our leaders and public policy. We see the enemy in Primary Colors, and, as Pogo said, "It's us" as much as any candidate with sleazy morals.
first is the idealistic AfricanAmerican grandson of a legendary Civil Rights leader, who has to be talked into joining the campaign. His thoughts about the candidate, warts and all, are intended to mirror the general public's ambivalence. And Oscar-winner Kathy Bates (Misery) could take home another in the supporting role of an old friend of the candidate who serves him as a selfdescribed "dust-buster," who is paid to research and knock down any old or new allegations of sleaze thrown at him. If politics today is hardball, Bates' character is the equivalent of strike-out king Randy Johnson, the so-called "Big Unit." Primary Colors is even more cynical about our political system than "Wag the Dog," and I suppose we can thank Mr. Clinton for triggering that. R. 31/2 stars.
Before long, a sex scandal has its tentacles wrapped around virtually everyone in Blue Bay, from uppercrust lolita Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards, left) to brooding society outcast Suzie Toiler (Neve Campbell) after Ryan accuses her college instructor of sexual assault in Wild Things.

MR. NICE GUY. Jackie Chan, grinning and running about like a top, wears out his welcome as a TV chef who can chop bad guys as easily as a salad. Chan is known for doing his own stunts, and a regular feature of his films is a series of comical outtakes of him slightly injuring himself during the film's action sequences. Look at him go! PG-13. 2-1/2 stars. WILD THINGS. Yet another film about sex and murder and double-crosses, this time with a younger, hard-body cast including Neve Campbell (Scream) and Denis Richards, as two high-school students who accused their guidance counselor (Matt Dillon) of rape in their wealthy South Florida town. There's an investigation and a series of surprise revelations. Only a fresh cast makes this material work as well as it does. R. 3 stars. © 1998 TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES, INC.

T E CLASH OF ACCENTS: Costumes, sets can't rescue lukewarm performance of cast By Farzana Razak CuestWriler onsidering the stellar cast, I went to see The Man in the Iron Mask with a reporter's notebook in hand and somewhat high hopes of seeing a summarized and advanced version of the 1977 miniseries of the same name which starred Richard Chamberlain. Instead, I came out of the theater with the disturbing image of Gerard Depardieu's unflattering butt. Despite that, The Man in the Iron Mask, which opened March 13, almost tied with Titanic its first weekend at the U.S. box office sales with $17.3 million. Based on Alexandre Dumas' classic 1850 novel, this is the fourth adaptation and last installment of the daring escapades of the Three Musketeers. It takes place in 1660 when France is on the verge of destruction and its people dying of starvation. The king, whose throne the Musketeers served, dies and is succeeded by his arrogant and cruel heir, Louis XIV (Leonardo DiCaprio). With French peasants threatening to revolt, Aramis (Jeremy Irons) comes up with a solution.. The Musketeers must embark on their most dangerous mission ever—to free the mysterious Prisoner 64389000, who has lived at the Bastille encased in an iron mask for nearly a decade, and unlock his secret identity. The cast is filled with actors with clashing accents. The musketeers list like a NATO panel, with a vaguely Irish Gabriel Byrne's D'Artagnan, an elegantly British (and my personal favorite) Irons' Aramis, and the mumbling American John Malkovich's Athos. Playing dual roles as King Louis and Phillipe, DiCaprio is as French as chow mein. The only true Frenchman, Depardieu's Porthos, makes the rest of them seem out of place. -

Leonardo ThCapno stars in the dual role of King Louis XIV and Phillipe. So what do I really, really think about this whole swashbuckling, melting pot adventure? Well, DiCaprio fulfills his acting challenges, both royal and incarcerated, just fine. They say, in the movies, bad guys have more fun (at least until the ending). This is true as DiCaprio gives his royal character the belief that Louis' meanness is his birthright to do whatever he wants. "It's good to be da king." As Louis, "Mr. It-Guy-of-the-Moment," may be risking his status but it shows he can handle the deviation from the typecasted tragic romantic hero roles. He does his intense best at times but with his porcelain features and "boy-next-door" look, he was somewhat Unconvincing as a regal and powerful man. The man in the mask, Phillipe, comes off a little bland. You'd think someone who has lived in such hellish conditions would have to be a little more vindictive and crazier. Instead, he emerges from the mask with an annoyingly sunny disposition. Phillipe is sensitive, with a fragile femininity, emphasized by the flowing mane which may occasionally mistake him for a lost Hanson brother. As graying musketeers, the other four veteran actors are the film's true triumph as they go "all for one and one for all" one last time. They reminded me of the Rolling Stones, putting the band together and hitting the road.
Aramis has hung up his sword in favor of priesthood. Athos has devoted his life to raising his son, Raoul, and is filled with revenge when he is killed. The lusty Porthos is, well...portlier than ever, and has lost his joie de vivre and long-gone days of youth. D'Artagnan, now the king's adviser, bodyguard and captain of the Musketeers, intercedes on behalf of Athos and the French public, failing in both. Each of them bring into this movie his own personal trait. Depardieu, a genuine buffoon with a nose to prove it, gets the most laughs. Irons and Malkovich portray more intellectual roles, while Byrne gives a real poignancy to his role. Aside from the cast, the costumes and make-up are gorgeous, from rouged faces to artfully grim peasants. The sets are beautiful on ,the large screen, complete with horses, muskets and swords. The scenes were shot in a French palace called Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, and the amazing scenes of Bastille made for an amazing backdrop. Generally, I saw fairly moderate performances from all actors, with exception- of John Malkovich. His lines were stilted and it's hard to tell if it's his fault or simply a bad script. It was Malkovich at his worst. Writer, director Randall Wallace did not give this large scale adventure the pacing it required, with sluggish swordfights and uninspiring moments. So, to sum it up, The Man in the Iron Mask is a slowpaced drama, lacking in the expected swordfight excitement and, at times, poor dialogue. But it had its odd comedic, touching and thrilling short moments in spite of it all. You can visit the movie's official website at http://www.ironmask.com . The Man in the Iron Mask is rated PG-13 for violence and sexual innuendo and the unsettling sight of Depardieu's derriere. No one should ever have to see that. RATING: 13-11- * out of a possible five
