Southeastern and several area

Tuesday, September 26, and ran
through Wednesday, September 27.
"We're just trying to let people

( U - W I R E ) S A N D I E G O — It takes thousands of dollars to get
through college, but a recent national survey found students don't
think they're getting their money's worth.
The survey, conducted by the Foundation for Academic Standards, concluded that 68.7 percent of college students want to be
challenged more by their professors. About 1.000 college students
nationwide were randomly interviewed on the phone for the survey.
A philosophy sophomore at San Diego State University, Hurbert
Vigilla. believes that it should be in the best interest of professors to
intellectually challenge their students, not to let them get off easily.
"For the most part. I guess in some entry level classes — (of
which) I won't name names — I felt it was just worth B.S.," he said.
"Some of them were a waste of time; a waste of money. It felt like
I was in high school again."
For business junior Steven Rodriguez, some classes are more
difficult than others.
"Certain classes are obviously tougher than other ones, but most
of m y classes are structured where it's strictly based on lectures and
exams.'' he said. "I've taken a few business classes that definitely
have been challenging; whereas, the electives are lecture-based —
they're not really that challenging at all."
Rodriguez said he prefers classes that base grading on tests only.
Lectures, a midterm and a final — to him, those are the most
challenging.
"The one's (with) the most quizzes, more homework involved,
more point accumulation are hard because they're more of a
workload, but at the same time, it's a little easy to pass the class,"
Rodriguez said.
The survey also revealed that students are generally satisfied
with their education and professors. A whopping 90.2 percent rated
the quality of their education as good or excellent.
Rhetoric and writing siuJics professor Linn Bekins said she
knows her studeni want to be challenged. She said she finds the
student mind to be very active and that people naturally ask a lot or
questions. "I think that's a virtue of students wanting to be
challenged.'' she said. "I want students to be challenged and I also
want them to know that I'm here to support them on that."

The International Student Association (ISA) is a student organization that represents all international students at S O S U .
O n e of the main goals of ISA is
to help international students adjust to a new culture.
" W e really want to make them
feel comfortable here at Southeastern," Camille Phelps,
multicultural coordinator, said.
This semester ISA is made up
of about 30 members, which represents a total of 21 cultures.
"One of the reasons I joined
was to get to know other international students," Milan Smado,
ISA member, said.
Members recently traveled to
Dallas to see a major league soccer game. Plans are being made
to attend the upcoming Texas
State Fair as well.
There are no fees or requirements to join ISA. In fact, students do not have to be an international student to become a
member.
ISA meets at 9 p.m. every
Monday in the Russell Building.
Rules help overcome anxiety
Lance Lester
Newswriting Student
Almost everyone on campus
gets a little nervous when it is time
to take a test. It usually means a
late night studying, cramming,
getting prepared for the big test.
T try to study, but I would
rather be playing m y X - M e n
game," said Frank Carter. S O S U
student.
This is the reason a lot of students suffer from test anxiety.
There are several ways to beat
this anxiety. Taking notes in class
.
is the one of the best ways for
students to retain what has been
taught.
This is where students usually go wrong: not taking proper
notes.
Another thing that will help
with studying is to use study
groups.
Remember, the best way to
know the material is to read the
textbook. This is the best way of
knowing the material.
Along with good notes, there
is no grade that can't made.

"Aztlan is m y land. M y land belongs

Dressed in full traditional Aztec

The resolution was brought forth
by the Native American Student Alliance Sept. 6. They say the mascot is
"dehumanizing, demoralizing, and blatantly racist" and that S D S U is exploiting their culture by using it as a marketing tool to make money.
The public forum featured two panels: N A S A ' s A.S. representative Rey
Soto and community member John
Hood on one side and Athletics Marketing Director Steve Schnall, senior
Dennis Cisterna and alumnus Fred
Pierce on the other.
Soto, w h o is not an Aztec descendent, tried to "erase any misconceptions" about the issue by explaining
w h y he and N A S A are fighting to
change the mascot.
"This is about m e fighting lor

of Sigma Tau G a m m a , said.
"Each year, thousands of young
men enter the working world with
the competitive advantage of a fraternity experience or alumni contacts," Mike Jenkins, Sigma Tau
G a m m a member, said.
A fraternity provides a unique
combination of a family away from
home and also acts as a business.
The opportunities for leadership are
unlimited and principals of leadership are learned through experience,
fraternity members said.
"Every young m a n entering
Southeastern should at least take
time out to review each fraternity
and make a decision whether this
type of program is suitable for themselves," Paul Keys, m e m b e r of
Sigma Tau G a m m a , said.
Recent studies show that 80 percent of top executives in Fortune
500 companies are fraternity m e m bers.
Newswriting Student
A first-year university student,
either as a freshman or a transfer, is
surrounded by a sea of new faces,
names and challenges. And the enormous change can cause a student to
feel lost.
"Fraternities can help easy the
transition," Chris Ward, representative of Sigma Tau G a m m a , said.
Southeastern has four fraternities to choose from. They are Sigma
Tau G a m m a , Phi Sigma Kappa,
KappaSigma, and Delta Tau Delta.
"Nationally, fraternity members
have an overall higher graduation
rate than non-Greeks," Ryan Wood,
Delta Tau Delta member, said. "Seventy-one percent of all fraternity
men persist to graduation, while
only 51 percentof all non-fraternity
members graduate."
It is certainly no surprise that
today's college and university students express a keen interest in the
Greek system.

Starting next week. Southeastern
will see the re-birth of one of its clubs
that has been inactive for the last
couple of years.
That club is the Circle K International. The C K I is a collegiate chapter of the Key Club that many high
schools have as well as the Kiwanis
club that is present in most c o m m u nities. The C K I is a service based
organization that will work closely
with the Office of Student Life to
serve the university as well as with
various community service projects.
O n e project that the C K I coordinated in the past wa1- the blood drive.

xample of

Charles Coley, senior communications major, had the idea to revive the club after it had disbanned
due to lack of membership.
H e began the process this summer and contacted the national
office and found out that it could
be easily reinstated. H e has also
been in touch with the local chapter of the Kiwanis Club.
"I think that volunteerism is a
great thing and I think that apathy
is a problem a m o n g people our
age and that getting involved is a
way to avoid that,"Coley said.
Other students are also looking
forward to the opportunities that
the club has to offer.
-*-ktel4y> Tay-ter-plans^Jo-get in-
volved with the Kiwanis club and
sees this as a great opportunity to
do that.
"I a m excited to see the Circle K
organization be reinstated on campus," Taylor said. "It is nice to see
a good civic organization getting
involved on campus,"
The club plans to get right into
campus involvement by taking part
in Homecoming.
They held their first meeting at
noon, September 25 in the Fine
Arts Building room 202.
Anyone w h o is interested in
more information about the club
can contact Coley at 745-7357.

The Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savages dropped a41 -0 shutout to the Texans of Tarleton

306 yards to Southeastern's six completions for onl\
66 yards. Steve Kelly controlled the game with his
choice of receivers, throwing to a total of 10 receivers
to Southeastern's three.

The SOSU cross country is full of new faces and
new outlook on this years season.
With coach Lanny Pettit at the helm, the harriers
have started off the season with hard work and dedication.
" W e run a lot more in college then w e did in high
school and the challenges that 10 girls and I have been
faced with I enjoy," Rachell Riddle, a freshmen from
Lindsay, said.
"It has been a learning experience with coach
Pettit's work ethic," Lauren Stump, a freshmen from
Westmore, said.
a
The team has had three second-place finishes and
finished third once. The Lady Savages finished second by one point at their last meet.
With no less than a third-place finish in any meet,
Southeastern is well within reach of a strong performance at the conference.
" W e will win conference," Riddle and Stump said.
If they keep improvn g they will be a force to be
reckoned with.

Southeastern's
cheerleading squad started
2000 off strong with high
goals and a second place
win in the Universal
Cheerleading Association
competition.
With a first-year coach
and team half full of rookies, the squad is young.
"This hindered things in
the beginning, but their talent definitely made up for
it," ChristinaGrider, S O S U
cheerleading coach, said.
"There is a lot of talent
this year, and the stunting
and tumbling is of greater
strength," Valerie Denise
Ford, a squad member, said.
"And with a coach so experienced in the sport, it only
makes the team that m u c h
stronger."
Grider was acheerleader
for S O S U during the fall
semester of 1999. She said
she loves cheerleading so
much that sometimes it is
difficult to put herself in
the coaching position during games.
The team has already accomplished a successful

If change is m a d e Southeastern needs cool mascot
A round of applause goes out to the university
completing a project without creating several problems. This is refering to the n e w l.D. system the
university has installed. Every student is required to
have a new one by January.
As of now the new process seems to be working
well, unlike the telephone system that was installed in
the Spring 2000 semester.
The new l.D. will be used for several things, and due
to the high technological standard of the l.D. S O S U
officials can bring up information on any student or
faculty in just a few seconds.
Not only are the I.D.s flashier and more fashionable
than before, they are also thicker, more stable, and
now there is no need to worry about the glue holding
it togother melting in the sun, which is known to
happen on this campus.
Along with the new I.D.s is yet another small
convenience. All pictures put on I.D.s will be saved
and used in the campus yearbook, The Savage. This
helps out the staff at The Savage, and students know

the tool for liberation of this unconscious racism. Subjective feelings,
such as inferiority, are an integral
part of consciousness and work together with the objective reality of
poverty and deprivation to shape a
young person's world view.

Tradition should
not interf er with
student rights
Dear editor,
Regarding the editorial letter published in the Southeastern paper, tradition does not justify racism. Just
because the mascot is nearly eighty
vears old does not mean it should
stay; if anything it demonstrates h o w
outdated it is.
The article states that "the mascot
does not single out one ethnicity of
people." H o w is this true when there
are copper plated "Indian" faces in
front of the bookstore, and on the
Gymnasium, when w e have a spear
and feather on our new logo and on
the front page of the student paper'1
W h y do people "tomahawk chop" at
football games, etc.?
It is absurd to argue that the mascot brings "unity" among all students when some of us feel that it is
derogatory and insulting.
It is hard to imagine that the Savage nickname is perceived as a "great
compliment."

Did they have aspirations of

Perhaps some have and some have
not, but the transition from a high

is usually quite stressful.
Eddie Karch, freshman and

"I came here for the Theatre
Department, hoping for a good
program," said Karch.
It has been exactly one month
and five days since he first came to
the college town of Durant,
Oklahoma and it doesn't seem to
have changed him a bit. H e is even
busier with his major, but still
seems to be making the grade.
"When I first came here I thought
it would be cool to meet a lot of

the students and faculty have all
