Volunteers exemplify King' s dream
Students, faculty, community members lend a hand to others
By S A R A STANGLIN
Staff Writer
•
While many students were
sleeping in and enjoying a day
off from school on Monday, a
special group of student volunteers decided to make something of their holiday.
These students, along with
faculty members and members
of the surrounding community,
got together to celebrate the
birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.
To this group it was not just a
day off, it was a day on. It was
their chance to show that
King's dream did not die with
him.
The day began with a ceremony, which included a slide
show and floral tribute, honoring the life and work of King.
Erna Childress, campus landscape, was asked to create a
memorial to honor the late civil
rights leader.
ful range of responses from the
crowd, from "amen" to laughter.
A first for this year were the
Martin Luther King Jr. Day of
Service awards.
Three students received these
awards. Each student was given
a plant that represented a different aspect of King's goal.
Recipients were Keenan
Williams, Dignity; Regina
Johnson,
Freedom,
and
Kimiywi, Peace.
• Following the rally, the group
headed down to the Magnolia
Apartments, a married housing
unit recently placed under the
control of Southeastern's residence life office.
There the volunteers spent the
rest of the day beautifying the
complex.
After being broken off into
groups, the workers scraped
chipping paint, raked and gathered leaves and trash, as well as
cut back hedges.

Gloria Kimiywi, master of
ceremonies for the service,

With the economy in its worst
shape since the days of the Great
Depression, it's no wonder that
enrollment at the nation's colleges
and universities has increased.
Because not everyone receives
scholarships upon graduating high
school ~ and a number of these new
students may be older, more experienced people looking for a career
change ~ some of them may find
that the very economic downturn
that has driven them to college also
threatens their ability to complete
their chosen degree program.
Like many other universities,
Southeastern has a plan for students
who, for one reason or another, may
need a little financial assistance the Southeastern Foundation, Inc.
According to their W e b site, the
"(Southeastern) Foundation exists
for the sole purpose of supporting
the activities of Southeastern
Oklahoma State University by providing private funding, scholarships
and other assistance which will benefit the university and our students."
In the process of fulfilling this
mission statement, the Southeastern
Foundation offers 280 different
scholarships, with approximately 90
percent of them being for current
students.
In actual dollars, the Foundation
disbursed $244,315 in scholarships
for the 2001 -02 school year.

Dr. Randy Prus 745-2582.
After earning his bachelor's
degree, Tigner served in the
military before earning his
master's
degree
from
Pepperdine University in
Malibu, Calif.
H e then served as a public
school teacher for 25 years, but
"I always wanted to write," said
Tigner. "I thought I wanted to
be a poet. I never dreamed of

years ago."

Secrets of Craig Street," is a
strong seller in Central Texas

on Craig Street, which he used
in the novel.

For instance, his novel took
place between World War I and
World W a r II, so he had to
research that time period. Also,
he tried to visit each of the
places he wrote specifically
about.
H e suggested that all novels
need suspense, a touch of history and especially romance. " A
novel needs romance. Romance
is a part of life," he said.
H e personally needs three
things in order to write: a yellow legal pad, his Cross pen
and a dictionary. Then he can
write wherever he is.
H e writes his novels one
chapter at a time, editing it and
typing it on his electric typewriter before moving on to the
next chapter.

said, "It is necessary to have a
story in mind."
H e stressed the importance of
having some generalized plot
but to keep it flexible. "Feel
free to modify the plot if it
helps the story," he said.
His second piece of advice
was to have believable characters. It is important to consider
the setting and world events of
the time.
and he doesn't share them with
anyone until they are completed.
After his first novel, he spent
one full year seeking a publisher.
"Your first novel is a risk for
any publisher," he explained.
Finally he located one in N e w
York and went into a partnership with that publisher.
Looking back, he said, "I
don't think the book is perfect
technically."
Critics gave mixed reviews,
but "the majority state that I tell
a good story that keeps the
reader interested," said Tigner.
In closing, he said, "I really
believe that what w e expect in
life w e will achieve and what
w e think will occur, so keep
good thoughts."

Department of Health has confirmed the first case of
Influenza Type A in Oklahoma
this year. The agency's Public
Health Laboratory performed
the virus typing and reports the
case is from Oklahoma County.
The O S D H is alerting the
public of the potential for a second wave of influenza to hit
Oklahoma this season.
Back in December 2002,
O S D H reported thefirstcases
of Influenza Type B, H o n g
Kong-like strain. Numerous
cases of Type B flu continue to
be reported, especially in children, with levels apparently
peaking in mid- to lateDecember.
Individuals w h o have not yet
received a flu shot are encouraged to do so. Influenza vaccine is still available and can
offer protection for the newly
identified Type A strain.
"It is possible for someone to
get the flu twice in one season.
I would encourage those people
w h o have not yet been vaccinated to consider getting the flu
shot,' said State Health
Commissioner Dr. Leslie
Beitsch.
Because the flu virus is transmitted from person to person,
health officials urge good
hygiene practices to decrease
the chances of getting the flu. If
you have a child with the flu,
the American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends doing
the following to prevent its
spread.
Avoid kissing your infected
child on or around the mouth,
although hugging is O K .
Teach your child to cover his
or her nose and mouth with tissues when coughing or sneezing and to put the tissue in the
wastebasket.
Wash your hands both before
and after caring for your sick
child.
Wash your child's eating
utensils in hot, soapy water or
in the dishwasher.
Don't allow others to share

h o w one can love someone

have no romantic feelings for
that person. M a y b e m y case is
a bit extreme, but the basic

However, as with any relationship issue, there are exceptions to every rule. After talking to a few people on campus,
I learned that although no one
looks at the matter in exactly
the same light, almost everyone has a distinct opinion on
the subject, usually a lot less
cut and dried than the poll
revealed.
Freshman Cris Molina's
well-thought-out answer was,
"I believe that males and
females can function as friends
as long as both sides understand their meaning of the
word 'friend.'"
This answer gives m e hope

First, there is no such thing

this subject called race, gender

This can be a very ethical
dilemma on your part, too, The

W h y would or should anyone read these opinions, any of

M y young naive, Juliet. H o w

Might it have helped if
you'd k n o w n you were simply
being prejudice and that race is
only a social construction.
Racism entails prejudice and
power exerted over an ethnic
group to discriminate against
them what is equally theirs.
Even more, I advise that you
understand that skin color is
not the only form of racism in
this country.
Ethnic groups are not merely
composed of dark- and lightcolored skin tones. N o . They
share beliefs and languages
and other cultural similarities.
In opinion, there is no middle ground.
These opinions are shallow
and murky, like a puddle of

E n r o l l m e n t increases not necessarily
/
This semester, Southeastern experienced another increase in enrollment.
This time last year, S O S U had 3,000
students populating its classrooms.
This year, that number has escalated
to 3,380 students. That is a 12.7 percent increase in enrollment.
This comes after a smaller but also
impressive 2 percent increase in
enrollment from fall 2001 to fall
2002. President Johnson attributes it
to the great faculty, wonderful academic programs and affordable costs
S O S U provides.
This m a y indeed be the case. But,
while I also believe this increase is
good for the success and reputation of
our school, and is a statistic w e
should all be proud of, I don't believe
it should be the end-all-be-all barometer of the wealth of a university.
Don't get m e wrong, I a m as excited about this achievement as the next
person. I just don't think w e should
get ahead of ourselves and begin to
praise the greatness of Southeastern
from the rooftops just yet. A n d since
this growth is happening, is it necessarily a good thing?
First off, there is an increase in
enrollment nationwide, not just here
at home. A n d this is directly attributable to the downtrodden economy w e
have experienced within the past couple of years.
Dr. Robert Henderson, an English
professor of 20 years at S O S U , has
seen this phenomenon more than a
few times during his tenure.
"The bad economy is more than
probably a factor in this,increase,"
said Dr. Henderson. "Increases in
attendance are like a roller-coaster
that goes up and down with the economy;"
This is because when it becomes
tougher to find worthwhile jobs without college degrees, more people
begin to flock to colleges and universities in order to better secure a financial future. A n d this is occurring
throughout the nation.
Dr. Jeff Hale, assistant vice president for academic affairs, enrollment
management and marketing, confirms
the nationwide trend.
"Throughout most areas of the
U.S., this enrollment increase is defi-

nitely occurring, but in Oklahoma,
high school graduation rates are dropping," he said.
This could suggest that the increase
is coming more from outside areas,
such as Texas, Arkansas and maybe
even other countries altogether. It
could also come from high school
dropouts w h o then get their highschool equivalency later on.
OK, so Southeastern is growing. Is
this completely a positive movement?
O n one hand I would say "yes," and
on the other I would say "no."
O n the plus side, government funding will increase as attendance does
the same. Dr. Hale says this will help
the university immensely.
" W e can use the extra funding to
provide computers in every classroom
and to renovate some of the more

'Our B and' offers entertaining, Williams set to kick off
inspiring look into '80s underground scene S O S U Coffee House
By J O E M c C L O U R
Managing Editor
After a few years of writing
crappy songs and playing
(albeit briefly) in a
country/classic rock cover
band, by 2000 I was pretty
much fed up with everyone
and everything having to do
with music.
Over Christmas break, however, I discovered a reason to
try and play music again Michael Azerrad's brilliant
book, "Our Band Could Be
Your Life: Scenes From the
American Indie Underground
1981-1991."
With "Our Band," Azerrad,
w h o has also written wonderfully about Nirvana and the
Seattle music scene, shows
how 13 incredibly talented
bands were able to exist outside of the framework of the
corporate music industry.
While some of the bands
Azerrad profiles, such as The
Butthole Surfers and Sonic
Youth, did make the leap to
major labels, the book focuses
on their pre-major careers, and
how they became established
within the underground.
And, with bands like
Mission of Burma and Big
Black mentioned, Azerrad
makes sure his book never
becomes merely a "Who's
W h o " of early '90s alternative
rock.
Using his own flexible, yet
accurate, definition of punk
rock, Azerrad is able to group
all of these seemingly disparate bands together and
show how they fit.
Be it the hardcore, straightedge pose copped by Minor
Threat's Ian MacKaye or the
drunken rabble-rousing of The
Replacements, these bands are
all true punk for two reasons:
they did it themselves and they
didn't care what everyone else
was doing.
B o o k review
The thing that really makes
Azerrad's book so appealing,
however, is the exhaustive
number of primary sources.
With direct quotes and anecdotes from major players such
as MacKaye, Henry Rollins,
Steve Albini and Thurston
Moore, "Our Band" is the
indie-rock tell-all many people
have been waiting for.
While the stories range from
the disgusting - Mike Watt's
chronic diarrhea on one
Minutemen tour and the rather
unorthodox way he chose to
deal with it ~ to the disappointing — hearing MacKaye
and others recount how upset
they were when they discovered their heroes from Public
Image, Ltd. were nothing more
than "f***ing a**holes" —
every single one is necessary
and enlightening.
Beyond the bands, the fact
that this music, all lumped
together for Azerrad's purposes as punk, actually had serious ideals and principles
behind it at one time instead of
being merely a catchphrase for
obnoxious teenagers w h o
hated their parents, makes the
book worth at least one read.
Considering everything, I
guess the only real problem I
had with the book was that it
was too short.
By the time I'd finished the
Epilogue, I'd read 501 pages
in just a few days, and I still
wanted more.
More bands.
More music.
More inspiration.
W h e n it's all said and done,
that's really the secret to
Azerrad's success.
By profiling several key
bands for 30-50 in-depth
pages, he makes sure you

never get tired, but also never
feel like you're not getting the
whole story.
And, by constantly reiterating the principles, excitement
and sense of community present in the early underground
scene, he makes the younger
generation long for the ' 80s in
a way the older generations do
the '50s or '60s.
In the end, Azerrad's book
manages to be entertaining and
inspiring in the best possible
way.
Anyone who can read this
book and not wish they could
go back in time and have the
members of Fugazi sleep at
their house or attend the eraending International Pop
Underground convention in
Olympia, Wash., has obviously
given both their wallet and
heart to the corporate machine.
"Our Band Could Be Your
Life" can be purchased at
www.amazon.com in either
hardcover or paperback for
$18.17 and $11.17, respectively.
Michael Azerrad's criticallyacclaimed Nirvana biography
"Come As You Are: The Story
of Nirvana," is also available
in a paperback edition for
$13.97.

Williams, a native of
Abilene, Texas, discovered
his penchant for music during his senior year in high
school.
Though he and his family
had to move many times to
places where his father could
gain employment, Williams
said he developed an adoration for the simpler things in
life, like being outside and
playing with animals.
After being uprooted at
least twice, Williams and his
family moved to the West
Coast, where he spent his
high school years bodysurfing, playing Hackey Sack

Top offense meets top Savages fall to rival
defense in Super Bowl
By CURTIS D O B S O N
Staff Writer
This Sunday, Super Bowl
X X X V I I will be held at
Qualcomm Stadium in San
Diego, Calif. Colliding in this
pinnacle of sports contests will
be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
and the Oakland Raiders.
In preparation for the game,
The Southeastern would like to
take this opportunity and provide you with an in-depth preview of the most-hyped and
most important game of the
year, along with information
regarding the two teams participating.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs are coached by Jon
Gruden, in hisfirstyear with
the team. The 38-year-old
Gruden, the NFL's youngest
head coach, had a 40-28 record
in four seasons as the Raiders'
coach.
H e led the team to the A F C
title game two years ago, losing
to eventual Super Bowl champion Baltimore. The fact that he
coached Oakland will definitely be a thing to watch and a
great storyline supporting the
game on the field.
Overall Offense Analysis
This is definitely the weakness of the team and
rightfully gets overshadowed by the ferocious defense. The
Bucs use a pretty conservative
offense
which does not contain
too many star players.
Their
QB
Brad
Johnson rarely makes
many mistakes and has
a good, accurate arm.
His
receivers,
Keyshawn Johnson,
Keenan McCardells
and Joe Jurevicius are
generally slow-footed
and cannot outrun most secondary defenders.
Their running game could
also be a potential Achille's
heal because both of their runners, Michael Pittman and
Mike Alstott, are inconsistent,
although Alstott is a bear to
bring down. They will need to
run with more of. a purpose if
they are going to have success.
Quarterback: During the regular season, Johnson completed
62.3 percent of his passes. H e
had 22 touchdowns and only
six interceptions. H e finished
the season with a 92.9 Q B rating.
Running backs: Pittman
gained 718 yards during the
regular season on 204 carries.
H e had one touchdown and
three fumbles. Alstott had 548
yards on 146 carries with two
fumbles.
Receivers: Johnson had 76
catches during the regular season for 1,088 yards and five
touchdowns. McCardell had 61
catches for 670 yards and six
touchdowns. Jurevicius, the
team's third receiver, had 37
catches for 423 yards and four
touchdowns. Tight-end Ken
Dilger will also catch passes
from Johnson. H e had 34 for
329 yards and two touchdowns
during the season.
Overall Defense Analysis
Tampa Bay features one of
the best and most dangerous
defenses in the N F L . The
swarming speed of the defense
makes facing it a nightmare. It
led the league in fewest yards
allowed per game and employs
a highly aggressive style.
Defensive end Simeon Rice is
a speed rusher w h o creates
havoc in the backfield, and
defensive tackle Warren Sapp
is a huge force in the middle
who also has the quickness to
shed blocks and make stops on
the exterior.
Linebacker Derrick Brooks'
speed allows him to cover a lot
of thefield,and the entire
defense has forced a lot of
turnovers and turned them into
points. T h e secondary is led b y
