Religious Diversity Abounds Provocative Drama Presented by SOSU Theatre Department
Sarah Martinez, Misty Sherrick, and Melissa Thompson
The First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law,
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof..."
The Investigative Reporting class in the journalism pro
gram, taught by instructor,
Janet Reeder, came together in a joint effort to explore a
variety' of religions represented
on campus. The idea originated
during a class discussion ofthe
upcoming traditional western holiday - Easter. W e took the
idea of Easter and expanded it
to religion. What religions are
represented on our campus?
To begin our quest for infor
mation, one student contacted
the office of admissions, the
office of student life, and the
registrar's office. The search
revealed that there are cur
rently no statistics compiled on
campus regarding religious
beliefs among students.
Due to a lack of availability of
official student data, our re
search came from internet sites
and as many students as we
could find who were willing to
discuss their beliefs with us.
Southeastern Oklahoma State
University is made up of a di
verse student body that is
proud to express its beliefs. Many of the students inter
viewed were Christian. A Chris
tian generally defines his or her self as ' a follower of Christ, a
follower of Christ is one who does the will ofthe Father. The
will ofthe Father is believing in Christ. Believing is not merely acknowledging, but trusting
Christ alone for personal salvation. Personal Salvation is be
ing reconciled to God, having
the promise of spending eter
nity in His presence.' "Religion affects my life in
many ways as far as doing
what's right. I always try to be
humble to God and pleasing to
Him in every way that I can,"
DeAngelo Shanks, junior physical education major, said.
Shanks, a Non-denominational
Christian, feels that his religion
is important because it's a "24-
hour thing".
Besides Christians, we were
able to find other students who
did not attend Christian
churches or all of its beliefs, but
followed their own feelings. One
students is graduate technology student Huimin Lu. They
do not classify themselves as
anything in particular, but did
believe in something beyond this life.
"Even though I am not really
a Christian, I believe that if you
do good, good will come to you
and the same with bad, "Lu said.
"But I still have a Bible." Jasim Akhter, a junior com
puter science major, feels his
Muslim beliefs keep him motivated in working to get his edu
cation. "I'm ready for this semester
to be over, a lot of my time is devoted to school work," Akhter
said. Akhter also said that his
religion helps him keep his focus in his studies.
Akhter explained that Mus
lims have two celebrations
(Eid); namely, Eid of Sacrifice
and Eid of Fast-Breaking. The
Eid of Sacrifice is in remem
brance of the sacrifice to be by
Prophet Abraham of his son.
The Eid or Fast-Breaking
comes at the end ofthe month
of fasting, Ramadan. Ramadan
coincides with Christmas and
the starting of the new year,
starting December 8.
There are also those who have
alternate beliefs. They may
have been raised in a certain
religion, but have come to form
their own opinions separate
from those instilled in them.
"It's like God is a scapegoat,"
Marco Queiroz, junior communication major said. "I just
started thinking about it and
decided I didn't need that. If I
need to talk to someone, I'll talk to a real person."

Test Anxiety Can Be Relieved Annie fiowe
Scott Hensley of Student Sup
port Services thinks feelings of
overwhelming test anxiety might be more common than thought.
"It's a good idea to do every
thing you can to relax at test time," he said.
The first step to develop re
laxation skills is to make your
self more comfortable in class. Work at finding ways that will
allow topics to be interesting.
One good way to do this is to
get involved in class discus
sions. It's a great way to ex
change ideas and polish com
munication skills.
Getting the most out of read
ing is another key. Reading
skills for college studests is the
backbone to academic success. Many would say it is a diffi
cult habit to develop, but it's
always important to take good
notes. Clear, concise notes will
make the difference between a
fair grade and an outstanding one.
Another key to improving this
situation is to listen carefully in
class. Move closer to the front
so you won't have trouble see
ing, hearing or paying atten
tion. Also, focus attention on
what the speaker is saying, not
on the upcoming weekend, the
drone of the speaker's voice or
what your significant other
might be doing at that very moment.
Evaluate what is being said.
Think about what the speaker's
words mean and how they re
late to what you already know about a subject.
If a student does not under
stand something about a sub
ject, he or she should always
ask questions. Clearing up the
"loose ends" of a subject is an
other important key to gaining
an excellent exam grade.
As with the preparation pe
riod, there are helpful rules to
follow at exam time. When tak
ing objective tests, it's impor
tant to read the directions care
fully. Survey the test quickly to
find out how much time you
can spend on each section or
question. Write neatly, and for
multiple choice, read all of the
answers carefully before you choose an answer.
Students who need help can
contact Student Support Ser
vices which will arrange tutor
ing sessions in order to get
ready for final exam time. They
are located in North Hall, room
113.

Last night Kiss of the
Spiderwoman opened in
UC300. Kiss of the Spiderwoman, written by Manuel Puig, stars J. Clark
Bawcom and Christopher
Cariker. Bawcom, Molina, is a
drag queen in an Argentinian
prison. His cellmate, Cariker,
is Valentin, an Argentinian po
litical activist. Jose Luis
Sanchez and Kenneth Narvaiz play the warden and prison
guard.
"It's a racy play with a meaty'
love story behind it," Starr
Hardgrove, director, said. "They each make a journey, finding out about themselves and each other."
Molina and Valentin are tell
ing a story while television
screens play clips of Cat People.
"This show is two hours of
the actors giving it everything
they've got," Hardgrove said.
"Kiss of the Spiderwoman is a
different type of theatre than anything we've done here in the
last two years."
Hardgrove also directed Hidden in this Picture'last spring.
Kiss ofthe Spiderwoman was
an exceptional challenge because it's in the round, mean
ing the audience completely surrounds the stage.
"It's a challenge making the
show the same from every viewpoint in the round," Hardgrove
said.
Love Presents at State Capitol MelissaThompson
Undergraduate students
from 16 colleges and universi
ties in Oklahoma were recog
nized at the State Capitol for
their research achievements
April 17. Jerry Love, junior
chemistry major, represented
Southeastern at the event.
"This is definitely an honor
for me," Love said. "We made
a poster presentation that
broke down what we did."
Love's presentation analyzed
amino acids. With the help of
Dr. Tim Smith, Love separated
amino acids to try and identify them.
"The purpose was to let the
legislature of Oklahoma know
what our Science Department
is doing," Love said. "Dr. Smith
is the main person behind the
work that I do."
This event was sponsored by
the National Science
Foundation's EPSCOR and the
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
Greek Week Full of Events Lauren Moffitt
Greek Week was April 12-14
here on campus. "Greek week gathers frater
nities and sororities on cam
pus to come together and have
fun," Jana Haggard, graduate
assistant, said.
Tuesday night a scavenger hunt was held, and Wed. night
all the greeks met in the cafete
ria for lunch.
Thursday, the wacky games were held. Michaela Long of Alpha Sigma Tau won the
marshmallow eating contest, Sigma Sigma Sigma won the tug of war, and the Sigma Tau
Gammas won the taco eating contest, eating 128 tacos, and
the Alpha Sigma Taus came in second, eating 116 tacos.
The Relay for Life Cancer Walk
was held at Paul Laird field,
and all greeks were in atten
dance for that event. Each greek organization had a tent and
decorated it. It was important for the greeks to be at the Relay
for Life to support their community, loved ones, and friends.
"Greek week is a great way for greeks to come together," Kathryn Keenan, Alpha Sigma Tau, said.

To our readers... Editor Finishes First Semester
Well, this semester has been i great on° M \ first semester as Editor-in-Chief was both difficult and rewarding. I have learned to accept criticism; il helps m e to improve the newspaper. It has helped m e a lot that I have had a wonderful staff, and the news editor, Misty Sherrick, has been like m y right arm. Without Misty I couldn't have pulled off all these late nights.
I want to thank m y advisor, Janet Reeder. She helped m e learn design and student press laws outside of class time. She has also put up with calls at odd hours just to answer m y questions.
I also would like to thank the entire c a m p u s for your support. I have heard m a n y c o m m e n t s , positive and negative, about the newspaper this semester. I have taken suggestions from students, although s o m e changes cannot be m a d e until this s u m m e r . I will take on m y first big challenge of being editor w h e n I take the paper through a redesign while also attending m y s u m m e r classes.
I k n o w m a n y of you will not be at Southeastern during the hoi s u m m e r months, but w h e n you return I hope to have a n e w and improved Southeastern. I welcome any suggestions. In fact I would love to k n o w what all of our readers think the paper needs and what you would like to see m o r e often. The Southeastern is produced to serve students. I wish everyone to have a fun s u m m e r , even if you are stuck going to classes as I a m .
Sincerely,
Melissa Thompson off the mark by Mark Parisi

Tips For Students With Test Anxiety Misty Sherrick
M a n y students panic at the word "test." Students may know the material, but the amount of stress that can accompany a test causes the a he or she to forget what they would normally remember. There are several techniques that can be used to help students get over or at least lessen test anxiety. The first thing is to always go into a test with a good attitude. Write your name on the test as soon as you
receive it and immediately glance through the whole test. Plan the time you have for each question and begin to read the direction carefully. Answer the easiest
questions first and allow plenty of time for the hard questions. The day before the test can be a also be big part ofthe final grade. Sleeping well the night before the test
and eating a healthy breakfast can not do any harm, but may do good. Below are some tips that are step by step to help out with final test anxiety.
Preparing for the Test
Read as much as you can to improve your vocabulary on the subject. Be aware of all dates and deadlines. Practice taking the real test under test-taking conditions.
The Day Before the Test
Don't cram, don't panic, just relax - you've done your best! Eat a good dinner and get your normal amount of sleep. Set your alarm clock!
The Day ofthe Test
Eat a good breakfast. Get to the test center early so you can find out where the test is being given Bring all necessary items with you to the test.
During the Test
Fill out the answer sheet carefully and keep track of where you are in the test at all times. Keep an eye on the time. Don't spend too much time on any one question Guess wisely, eliminate choices Try to relax, keep things in perspective - this is just one part ofthe college admissions procedure.

Old Debate About the Rights ofthe Accused Rekindled Tom Vu The Guardian (U. California-San Diego)
(U-WIRE) LA JOLLA, Calif. — Recently, an old debate
about law enforcement and the
rights of the accused was rekindled by lawmakers in Washington, D.C. House Republicans,
once again split by party lines, have started a fight in an attempt
to be tough oncriminals. As a
result, they have forced the Supreme Court to reconsider an
important decision it passed 34 years ago and threaten to re
shape our justice system.
In a 5-4 majority vote,
the Supreme Court, under the
leadership of Chief Justice Earl
Warren, passed down the land
mark decision of Miranda v. Ari
zona (1966), siding with defen
dant Ernesto Miranda. Briefly,
the majority decision of the
Miranda case cited that any confession made by the accused is
automatically suppressed if the
accused was not informed of his
rights by the police or other law
enforcement agencies.
These rights, as de
scribed in the Fifth Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution, were
established to protect Americans from law enforcement agencies.
Basically, the accused has to be read his rights, commonly
known as Miranda rights, as he
is arrested or his confession is
not accepted in court. More pre
cisely, the Miranda decision pro
tects Americans from being co
erced into confessing to a
crime. The current contro
versy surrounding this case stems from this necessary procedure. Now, House Re
publicans, led by House Ma
jority Leader Dick Armey (R -Texas) and Representative
Henry Hyde (R - IL) are turning a normally nonpartisan
decision into a political
crossfire. In its attempt to portray Democrats as soft on
crime because of their support
ofthe Miranda rights, Repub
licans are threatening to
break this barrier of protec
tion, claiming it inhibits law
enforcement. Before delving into
why Armey and Hyde's as
sumptions are wrong and why the Miranda rights are critical
to our freedom and protec
tion, a quick summary of the
famous 1966 decision is in or
der. Miranda, a 23-year-old
man, was arrested on two
counts of robbery and two
counts of rape. The victims
were able to identify Miranda
from a lineup, and after ques
tioning by police, Miranda
confessed to the crimes.
Miranda was eventually
found guilty on those counts,
but his lawyers were able to
find a snafu during his arrest
— Miranda was not informed
Tommy Lee Jones Warns Harvard Students Against
Acting Parker R. Conrad Harvard Crimson (Harvard U.)
(U-WIRE) CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Tommy Lee Jones
'69 brought his brand of caustic Southern humor back to
Harvard Friday afternoon, advising a group of theatrically-inclined students Friday to avoid at all costs becoming actors.
Speaking at the American Repertory Theater on Brattle
Street, Jones, who roomed with Vice President Al Gore '69,
said he might not pick the performing arts had he the chance
to change careers.
"If you have anything else you can do other than acting, do it," he said repeatedly throughout the hour-long ques
tion and answer session, emphasizing that acting didn't have
the security and stability of other professions.
If he were a student today, he said, he would choose to
attend Harvard Business School upon graduation from College.
"I spend a ton of money on lawyers and agents," he said.
Throughout the afternoon talk, Jones characterized his profession as more of a business than an art form.
"It's called show business, not show art," he said.
Jones told the audience his favorite performance was "the one that appeared in the movie that made the most money. You'd just have to go back and check the numbers."
At one point, a student said he was offended by the
portrayal of Arabs and Arab-Americans in Rules of Engagement, in which Jones stars as a grizzled Marine lawyer de
fending an old friend on charges he ignored orders and murdered citizens.
Jones said he sympathized with the student but said his own celebrity status didn't translate into any special obligation for political conscience.
"Does it make sense for a motion picture actor to stand in front of a television audience and decline to accept an award because whales are being murdered?" he asked rhetorically.
Jones, who was an English concentrator and a resident of Dunster House, said he acted in about 20 shows during his undergraduate years.
"My education in the theatre was entirely practical, and most of it happened right here in this building, and in the Agassiz," he said.
Jones also played football. He was an offensive guard in the famous 29-29 Harvard-Yale game of 1968.
In Friday's talk, after some prodding by the audience, Jones agreed to talk about his experience rooming with Gore.
Jones recounted that "shortly before [Gore] invented
the Internet," the two of them purchased their first touch-tone
phone.
One day, when Gore was bored with his thesis, Jones
found him sitting at his desk, dressed in coveralls, teaching himself how to play "Dixie" on the touch-tone phone.
"I took it away from him, because I had to pay half the
phone bill, and I didn't know where he might have been calling," Jones said.
H
of his rights, as prescribed in
the Fifth Amendment, and as a result his confession to the
crimes was not accepted. The Supreme Court
sided with Miranda and his lawyers, setting him free, handing down the precedent that
unless the accused is informed
of his Fifth Amendment rights,
any confession is to be taken as coerced by the authorities and
is not admissible in court.
A s Chief Justice
Warren wrote in his majority
opinion, "Prior to questioning,
the person
must be
warned that he has a right to
remain silent,
that any statement he does ~mmmm
make may be used against him (in a court of
law), and that he has a right to
the presence of an attorney."
Furthermore, the
Miranda decision established
that the accused does not have
to answer any questions unless
he wants to and if he cannot af
ford an attorney, he must be
provided with one. Any deci
sion the Supreme Court hands
down is law, and is as legiti
mate as any passed by Con-
These rights, as
described in the Fifth
Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution,
were established to
protect Americans
from law enforcement
agencies
gress and signed by the presi
dent. It may be difficult for
some to fathom the release of this man who was clearly
guilty. However, the passing of such a ruling and the establishment of these rights is in
tegral to Americans' protec
tion against police abuse.
With the recent shootings of
unarmed suspects by New
York City police, it would seem like Ameri-
— — ^ cans still need all
the protection
we can get. As Democrats
warn, the cir
cumvention of
the Miranda
rights would re-
usher in a time
when police
were able to co
erce suspects —
by physical in
timidation, physical force or
bargaining for lighter sen
tences — into writing confes
sions. The Miranda rights put
the words ofthe Fifth Amend
ment into action, ensuring
Americans that our rights,
even when we are accused of
a crime, are not trampled on.
Perhaps more selfishly, the
Miranda rights guarantee that
citizens won't be punched in
the jaw or stomach if they
»
won't sign a confession.
Opponents to the Miranda rights claim it serves as a technicality that hinders
law enforcement. Bringing poli
tics into the mix, Miranda is claimed to symbolize soft-on-
crime liberals in our government today. Conservatives base
their efforts to roll back the
Miranda decision on a little-
used 1968 law that they say pre
empts the Miranda case. This
law states that a judge is given
the right to determine if a con
fession given voluntarily is ad
missible or not.
One has to recognize
that the Miranda rights assist
not only suspects, but also po
lice officers arresting those sus
pects. As The Wall Street Jour
nal ("Challenge of Miranda Law
Reignites an Old Debate," April
7, 2000) writes, "[The Miranda
decision] has helped make po
lice work more professional and
has given police officers a
simple standard to show they
haven't violated suspects'
rights." At the same time,
Miranda rights also help the
police by showing that, because
the suspect was read his or her
rights, the officers followed pro
cedure. This makes it difficult
to say that police violated a
suspect's Constitutional rights.
The Miranda rights are
not merely a convenient
method for criminals to abstain from confessing their
crimes. It is the Fifth Amendment fleshed out, working to protect all Americans, not just
criminal suspects, from civil rights violations by the police.
Furthermore, by cir
cumventing the Miranda
rights, only more confusion would arise. Steve Shapiro, di
rector of the American Civil
Liberties Union, said that re
versing the Miranda decision
would only"embroil the courts
again in needless and drawn-
out litigation" over whether
confessions are truly volun
tary.
James Madison and his
fellow Federalists wrote the
Bill of Rights to cover points
not in the Constitution: the
rights of the people of the
United States. While it gives
rights to the people, it also de
fines what the government
cannot do to inhibit these
rights. By rolling back the
Miranda decision, one of our
most important rights would
be inhibited: the right to not
incriminate ourselves when
arrested. That simply cannot
be allowed to happen and
hopefully, later this month
when the U.S. Supreme Court
reopens the stitches of the
Miranda case, it will not.
Media Coverage of Elian Crisis Demonstrates Intrusiveness, Tendency to Focus on Tragedies
Mark Passwaters The Battalion (Texas A&M U.)
(U-WIRE) COLLEGE
STATION, Texas - It is a very
rare day that Fidel Castro is
right on any matter. So rare, in
fact, that the NBA's Los Ange
les Clippers make the playoffs
more often than Comrade
Castro hits the correct button.
In that case, get ready
for prime time Clips fans. Un
fortunately, Castro was right on
the money when he said the
Elian Gonzalez case had be
come a prime example of how
intrusive the media has become
It is now far more interested in
coming up with sensational
ideas to increase ratings than
in telling the truth. The major
losers, as result, are the Ameri
can people, who have willingly
surrendered their rights to pri
vacy and to factual informa
tion.
The media barricade in
front of Elian Gonzalez's great
uncle's house is not new — re
member Camp O.J.? But the
broadcast media has still suc
cessfully reached a new low in
terms of class. Diane Sawyer's
two day stalking of Elian and
his family held absolutely no
informational value whatso
ever; it was merely a pathetic
attempt to make money off the
life of a confused little kid.
ABC News said that
Sawyer's farce was supposed to
be a "human interest" story,
and was newsworthy. Then
again, this is the same organi
zation that was willing to send
that news hound Leonardo
DiCaprio to interview the presi
dent ofthe United States. Any
organization willing to sacri
fice any vestige of profes
sional ethics to gain a few rat
ings points must have any
thing they say considered sus
pect.
If the American
people want this situation to
change, it is within their
power to see that it does. Af
ter all, they are the ones that
made it happen. The media is
simply looking for ways to in
crease ratings and will try
anything once to see how
fortunately, is to their own ca
reers. Currently, American so
ciety tends to reward those who
get the big, dramatic "scoop."
Whether that "scoop" is true or
causes increased pain and suf
fering for others is not an issue.
The nation must recog
nize that while the Diane Saw
yers and Jane Pauleys of the
world may be tearing up some
one else's life right now, they
could show up on their door
step at any time. The bonfire
collapse brought that stark re-
« »

»
popular it is; if people watch,
then more sensationalist gar
bage will filter onto the air. If
the viewing public decides
that enough is enough, then
TV news will go back to being
just that — news. It is a self-
fulfilling prophecy.
The first thing the
American people must recog
nize is that the talking heads
on television are not trustwor
thy. Most members of the
broadcast media today do not
believe that their primary ob
ligation is to properly inform
the public, as Walter Cronkite
and Edward R. Murrow did.
Their primary obligation, un-
ality to life at Texas A & M this
past fall. Suddenly, our ability
to privately mourn our dead
and put our lives back together
was gone; we were forced to do
these things in front of an au
dience of millions. Most
(though certainly not all) of
those covering the tragedy for
the TV media had no interest in
finding out the truth about the
incident or allowing us to pick
up the pieces. To them, it was
not "newsworthy." Only tears
and condemnations made the
evening news.
This, by definition, is
not news. It is garbage. People
that are in the business of gath
ering news should be inter
ested in findings of fact, not
trampling on pieces of already
shattered lives. The Nielsen
families do not seem to recog
nize this, however, and the
shameful trend continues.
It is time — frankly, it
is well past time — that the
American people recognized
that those "average Ameri
cans" that are being subjected
to media scrutiny are no differ
ent from them. The right to "be
informed" (if this warped
brand of reporting can even be
called "information") has
shoved aside a citizen's right to
live their own life without out
side interference.
If the viewers of Ameri
can television show their con
tempt for the current crop of
broadcast journalism by com
plaining, or, better yet, by
changing the channel, the
press will change in order to
survive. Then, perhaps, news
will once again become factual
information and not some gar
bage that should be recycled.
Freedom ofthe press is
a wonderful concept. The right
of an individual is even more
magnificent. Currently, the
two are at loggerheads with
each other because of the
media's view that what it wants
is more important that what
the public needs. The broad
cast media is acting like a
bunch of spoiled brats and
needs to grow up. As soon as
the American public does the
same, it can force the media to
do just that.

Surfing the Net Made Easier
Pagers Make Net Convenient Theatre Alumnus Succeed
Jennifer Nabors
With today's busy schedule,
the average person barely has time to keep up with family and
friends. However, like many other problems, the Internet
has a solution. This solution is the Internet pager. While you
are multi-tasking on the Internet, you can see when the
people on your buddy list are
online and have an instant link
to them. This phenomenon has caught on heavily with col
lege students as well as others.
"I use AOL Instant Messen
ger because that's what my
family uses and I can commu
nicate with them. But, I also
use M S N Messenger Service
which is easy to use because
anyone with a hotmail account
can be added to my list," David
Gibson, senior communication
major, said.
sible to see when friends are online and send them messages instantly," Christy
Tooley, senior communication
major said. A O L Instant Messenger,
M S N Messenger Service, Yahoo pager and ICQ are among
the most favorite of the
Internet paging systems. Pager users enjoy the features of real
time alerts, whether sound or
visual, as well as instant mes
sages and instant chat invitations. Some paging systems
such as ICQ offer users the op
tion to transfer files and URLs
through their servers. They
also offer games that users can
play using them. Many offer
the option of text or voice
chats.
Paging systems have auto-
detection functions that lauch
the pager when users log onto
then will run in the background
while users are surfing the net.
They use up very little memory
and thus do not slow users
down in other tasks that they are performing.
It is very easy to get started
with paging programs. The
files are easily downloaded and installed and then users
provide some personal infor
mation and choose their nickname. They can then use the
search function that each sys
tem provides to set up their
buddy lists. Each pager can be
downloaded for free. ICQ is available from
www.icq.com, and A O L In
stant Messenger can be found
on www. aol.com. You can get
M S N Messenger Service from
www.hotmail.com and

Blood Donors Needed at SOSU It's spring time and people
are out and about, therefore in
crease accidents on the lakes,
roads and outdoors are on the
rise as well. The Southern
Oklahoma Blood Institute
wants to ensure that if you or
someone you love needs blood
that it will be available - Y O U
can help by giving. Volunteer
blood donors are the only
source of blood for medical transfusion. Please give blood
and help maintain an efficient
blood supply. One person's
donation has the potential to
save three lives.
Of the approximately 3,751
students attending Southeast
ern Oklahoma State Univer
sity, approximately 3,563 will require a blood transfusion at
some point in time. Statistics
show that 95 out of 100 Ameri
cans will need a blood transfu
sion during their lifetimes, yet
only 5% of the healthy U.S.
population donate blood regu
larly and only 11% of Oklaho-
mans do so.
Students and faculty of SOSU
and the Oklahoma Blood Insti
tute hope to improve these sta
tistics as they host a blood drive
on Wednesday and Thursday,
April 26 and 27 in the Campus
Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
All donors wall receive a free T-
shirt and a mini-physical in
cluding checks on blood pres
sure, heart rate, temperature
and cholesterol levels. Every
one is encouraged to come donate!
Todd Fischer
The Theatre Department
here at SOSU has had several success stories. Some of which
are currently in big spotlights, such as Max Baker, Angelina
Phillips, and Glenn Veteto. Max Baker, from London En
gland, graduated SOSU in
1989. While here he took on roles in a number of plays in
cluding "On the Streetcar
Again," "The Beginning,
Middle and End," "Right Bed Wrong Husband," and "The
Time is Out of Joint." He also
wrote two plays here at SOSU, "Another Revolution" and "Mr.
Aluminum's Traveling Illu-
sionary Human Circus Troup."
He did his Gradwork at The
Hillberry in Detroit and went
on to do Several off Broadway
Productions and LA Produc
tion. Max has been a reoccur-
ring character in Third Rock
From the Sun as the professor
that doesn't speak as well as being in several pilots that
never made it or didn't last
long. Such as "The Secret Di
ary of Desmond Pfeiffer" in
which he plays the manservant
to a black nobleman who is
Abraham Lincoln's Valet.
"...waited upon by what one
script calls 'his white inbred
manservant" (played with
skin-crawlingly convincing
cretinousness by Max Baker),"
-Entertainment Weekly
Max is currently in a new
sitcom currently aired on ABC called "Talk to Me" in which he
plays a sound-effects guy for a
talk radio show. You can see Max in all his English flair on
Tuesday nights at 8:30 C on
ABC. Angelina Phillips, from
Denison, TX, played in a num
ber of rolls while here at SOSU including, "Arsenic and Old
Lace," "Hot L Baltimore,"
"There Goes the Bride," and with Max Baker in "On the
Streetcar Again" and "Right
Bed Wrong Husband." Angie, as she was called here
at SOSU, graduated in 1987 and went on to do her
gradwork at NYU. From there,
she found her way to Broadway
and began to take on opportu
nities with actors like Cherry-
Jones who has been in films
such as "The Horse Whisperer" and "Erin Brockovich." Jenni
fer Ainsley even wrote "Oleanna, Eye of God" with
Angie in mind for one of the
parts. She acted with Hal Hobrek as they took best Ac
tress and best Actor for these
roles. This play soon became a
film, but unfortunately Angelina didn't get to play the
part.
She later became a Fox Fel
low for 1999, in which she is
allowed the opportunity to
study in London, but she has
yet to have the time to get there
yet. Angelina is currently in a new play by Beth Henley,
Pulitzer Prize winner for
"Crimes ofthe Heart" in 1982.
This Broadway play is called
"Family Week*' and Angelina is
working with such actors as
Carol Kane. "Both Max and Angie have
visited with me about coming
back for a workshop. Max even wants to do a show with me
and Angie, but in this industry they have calenders that are
not their own," Del McLain, Director of Theater, said.
Perhaps this all came about
because of their experience together under the direction of
Glenn Veteto who graduated
SOSU in 1986. Glenn, from
Grand Prairie, Texas, served as adjunct faculty at SOSU while
working on his Masters. Dur
ing this time he directed "The
Beginning, Middle and End"
and "Right Bed Wrong Hus
band" which included Max
Baker, Angelina Phillips, and
Del McLain. Glenn has been
on Evening Shade a few times
and has done several commer
cials. One that maybe the most
memorable is the Got Milk
commercial where the pilot is
eating cookies and veers the
plane forward to let the cart
with the milk on it roll toward
him. He is currently on a na
tional Burger King ad and is
with the Screen Actors Guild,
which is the Motion Picture
Industry's union for actors.
The thing that can be learned
most from these alumni is that
hard work pays off, SOSU is a
good school for preparation for
the "real world," and always be
nice to your fellow students.
They may be famous someday.
Conservation Students Attend OAS Meeting in Ardmore Melissa Thompson
Members of the Wildlife
and Green Club attended the
Oklahoma Academy of Sci
ences meeting hosted by St.
Gregory University. The
meeting was held at Lake
Murray in Ardmore. After
introductions on Friday April
14, a professor from Okla
homa State University
opened with a presentation
about global warming and cli
mate changes.
Students spent the night
around the lake in tents and
cabins. Saturday morning began with a bird walk and other
field trips followed. "The highlight of the
[herpatology] trip was finding
a three foot copperhead under
a rock and seeing other
people's reaction to ft," Kelly
McDaniels, senior conserva
tion major, said.
According to McDaniels, it
was the only time people come
running towards someone yell
ing, "Snake!"
Another field trip SOSU stu
dents attended was icthyology,
the study offish. Students used
a seine, a wide net, to sample
fish in Hickory Creek. They waded down the creek about a
quarter mile to examine the fish population. They also used
gill nets in Lake Murray.
"The fun thing was wading in
the water, getting out there and
freezing," Stacy Faulkenberry,
senior conservation major,
said. "It's a good time to learn
new things in our area of
studv."

Savages Round-Up Bisons
Four Wins Over Harding Ryan Bass
The Harding Bison's came to
play and their herd was swept
by the Savages' this weekend. The Southeastern hurlers
Mark Milburn and Kendall
Prather had an outstanding performance in games one and
two on Saturday. They shutout
the Bisons for a 5-0 and 9-0
win. Southeastern's games against Harding on Sunday
were a little closer. Aaron Th
ompson recorded a win in the
first game where the Savages
won 3-0. Southeastern sur
vived a scare in the seventh in
ning of the second game to
complete the sweep winning 8-
7. The Savages are now ranked
seventh in the nation and are
28-9 overall and 12-4 in Lone Star Conference North.
Preston James started the
successful weekend in the sec
ond inning on a fielders' choice
and drove in Damon Lewis.
Preston James and Abby Glass
also had a double steal in the second inning to run the score
up to 2-0. That was all the scor
ing the Savages would need but
they added three insurance
runs in the fourth inning to
close the scoring for the day.
Matt Bales and Jeremy
McCarty scored on a catcher's
error and Jerry Don Williams
also scored on a wild pitch af
ter two stolen bases. Mark
Milburn gave up two hits in the
fourth and sixth innings and moved to a 8-0 mark on the
season.
day was pitched by Kendall
Prather. The Savage offense
gave good run support for Prather that began in the first
inning. Jerry Don Williams opened the hitting with a
double and scored after Kevin
Ferguson had a ground out to
shortstop.
Damon Lewis scored on a wild pitch and Abby Glass ran
the score to 3-0 after an error in right field. In the fifth inning
Damon Lewis stepped across
the plate on an error for the
second time of the day and Todd Stone scored for another run on a walk before Harding
had a pitching change. The new
pitcher fared no better than the
original giving up a home run to Todd Stone and allowing
two runners to reach home af
ter a Preston James home run.
The Savages closed the day
with fourteen runs on fifteen
hits and would continue their
winning ways the next day.
Aaron Thompson had his
sixth win and the Savages had
their third shutout of the week
end after Sunday's first game
of a doubleheader. Kevin
Ferguson started the scoring in
the first inning sending Jeremy
McCarty home on a single.
That would be all the Savages
needed, but why stop there?
Todd Stone made the score 2-
0 after a sacrifice fly to plate a
runner. The scoring ended in the third inning when Damon Lewis parked one beyond the
The second shutout of the fence.
Things were looking good for Harding in the last game ofthe
four game series.
The Bispns finally got on the scoreboard in the first inning.
They also managed to score seven runs before Southeast
ern decided that was enough and ended the game allowing
five runs in the seventh inning. Harding had the lead in the top of the first with on run but the Savages answered back with a three-run homer by Kevin
Ferguson. Damon Lewis had
two runs in the third inning and Preston James had an RBI
off of a sacrifice fly. Kevin
Ferguson's slaughter of Bison
pitchers ended in the fourth inning with a single.
Southeastern looked as if
they were in the safehouse but
almost ended up in the dog
house after the Savages scoring
ended. Southeastern took
starter T.R. Scott off the
mound and began to rummage
through the bullpen. Harding's
Mike Huebner got the best of
reliever Adam Cole with a
homerun in the fifth inning.
David Tice was called to the
mound in the sixth inning and
had a three up three down in
ning. Jeff Sellers was brought
in for the seventh inning and
the Bisons brought in two runs
before Jake Bruner was
brought in to make a save. Jake
Bruner did not have such an
easy time either. Harding brought in three runs only to
come up one short and the Sav
ages scraped by to win 8-7.
Lady Savages Clinch LSCN Ryan Bass
It has finally been done.
Southeastern's Lady Savages
are the Lone Star Conference
North Division champions.
The Lady Savages clinched
their fourth consecutive cham
pionship with a win at home
over rivals East Central Uni
versity. Southeastern won
three games against East Cen
tral last Thursday.
Annette Ropp pitched two
innings of a suspended game
on Tuesday and Starla Payne
finished the final five innings
to win the game 8-0.
Annette Ropp came on to pitch
six innings in the first game on
Thursday and Starla Payne was
brought in to pitch the final two
outs of the inning. The Lady
Savages got a late start scor-
ing in the first game not scor
ing until the fourth inning. Kim
Nichols broke the ice with a
triple to right and Tonya Mills
brought her home with a
single. Jenni Langford had a
sacrifice bunt that scored
Tonya Mills.
The Lady Savages scored in
the sixth when Jennifer Crase
singled to right to bring in a
runner. East Central loaded the
bases in the seventh inning
which was too close for com
fort and Starla Payne was
brought in to finish.
East Central gained the lead
1-0 in the third inning of the
second game. The Lady Sav
ages were not about to let East
Central rain on their parade.
The Lady Savages answered
back in the bottom ofthe third
with a two-run single by Jenni
Langford.
Kelly Baker brought
Langford home on a sacrifice
bunt to bring the score to 3-1.
Southeastern scored the win
ning run in the fourth inning.
Jennifer Crase took one for the
team, Angel Winston moved
her to second on a bunt, and
Cody Cook brought Jennifer
Crase home with a single. East
Central did not give up, scor
ing two runs in the fifth.
Annette Ropp took the mound
in the sixth inning allowing one
hit and no runs. Starla Payne
came back in relief for Annette
Ropp in the seventh to end the
game and another successful
outing by the Lady Savages.

Lady Savages Grip Panhandle Ryan Bass
Coach Ron Faubion's Lady Savages swept Oklahoma Pan
handle State this past weekend
at home 6-2 and 5-3. Starla Payne had another superb performance going the distance
allowing two runs on six hits and struck out four. Annette
Ropp started the second game going 6 1/3 innings before
Starla Payne stepped in for the last two outs. Annette Ropp
gave up three runs, on ten hits and had four strikeouts. The Lady Savages struck first
on offense in the first inning on
a Kelly Baker single that scored Tonya Mills. An injured
Adrienne Stoops came on to to hit and came up with an RBI
single to make the score 2-0.
Jennifer Crase and Kelly Baker scored on two different throwing errors in the third inning.
Jenni Langford had a single in the fourth inning to bring in
Tonya Mills. Cody Cook had a round-tripper in the fifth in
ning and crossed the plate a final time in the sixth on a Tonya
Mills single.
The Lady Savages had heavy hitting in the first game and
they did not stop in the second game. The Lady Savages were
on the board in the first inning
using the bunt. Kimberly Nichols scored on an error at
third on a Tonya Mills bunt.
Jenni Langford ran out a bunt and was brought in later by a
Kelly Baker single. Kelly Baker struck again hitting a homerun
in the third inning to score three. Annette Ropp ran into a
little trouble in the fourth and fifth innings when the Aggies
scrounged for three runs on four singles, a wild pitch, an
error, and a sacrifice bunt. The Lady Savages got out ofthe two
very rare sloppy innings and collected their 37th win of the
season.
R u n For Your Life and Others Ryan Bass
Walk for twelve hours? Straight? They have got to be
kidding. No that is not the way
it works anyway. The group
you are with takes turns walk
ing throughout the night That
is the way things roll at the
Relay for Life. The first annual
Relay for Life to cure cancer
was a success raising over $18,000 this past Fridy and
early hours of Saturday.
Over a dozen organizations
at Southeastern and around
town walked and walked and
when they thought they could
walk no more they walked
more from 7:00 P M Friday to
7:00AM Saturaday. Relay for
Life participant Tony Lehrling
summed it up best " This is
nothing, you just have to think
about the suffering so many
cancer victims and survivors go
through, and this is to help
those currently battling cancer
to become survivors."

The Southeastern Lady Sav
ages traveled to Ada Tuesday
to play rival East Central Uni
versity. The Lady Savages sur
vived a close one to win 5-4. At
# 1 singles Jennifer Johnson
overwhelmed Dara Wallace 6-1,6-0. Coach Pat Maudlin commented "Jennifer Johnson really played a fine match at the #1 spot. She simply aggravates you to death by returning ev
erything." Misty Scott gave
Sunny Swopes a gloomy day
beating her 6-0, 6-0. At # 3 singles Coach Maudlin said
"Cheryl Kidd filled in the gap
caused by the the substitution
and tried her best but came up
empty handed." Lisa Pollock
went three sets but came out
the victor 6-2, 3-6, 6-0. At #5
singles Carol Poore Maudlin
said " Poore always has to play
3-setters but today we won all
of ours which made the difference in winning and losing. She lost the first one in a tie
breaker after being up 4-1,
came back and won the second
and won the third handily." To
round out the singles at #6
Jennifer Beasly clobbered Ali Sacks 6-1, 6-3.
The Lady Savage doubles ac
tion did not have such a good
day. Jennifer Johnson and
Christina Justice teamed up
and lost control near the end
losing 9-7 to Sunny Swopes and
Dara Wallace. Coach Maudlin
said " At #2 doubles Jennifer
Beasly and Lisa Pollock did not show up at all for the match against Angeline Quillen and Krissy Helvey 8-0, they were on
the court physically but that's
about it." Carol Poore and
Misty Scott teamed up for the
first time and won 8-4 against
Kera French and Ali Sacks.
