WRAP Prisoners slain; death toll tops 100 SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — The massacre of more than 100 inmates in a Sao Pau to prison has turned the spotlight on what human rights groups say is one oldie world's most violent police forces. Hon-or tales leaked out soon after riot troopers raided Carandiru prison, Latin America's largest, to put down a reboil Oil in October. Autopsies later showed that many prisoners were executed after they surrendered. Others were indiscriminately shot or torn apart by dogs. Officially, 111 inmates were killed. But human rights groups and inmates said the true number topped 200.
Prosecutors release Bush's testimony NEW YORK (AP) — Iran-Contra prosecutors have turned over to the White House videotapes of the 1988 interview President Bush gave investigators, the New York Times reported in Tuesday editions. Before he leaves office, Bush plans to make public the contents of the videotaped deposition along with a diary he had kept as vice president, the Times said, quoting unidentified government officials.
Company quirks,

"But since the recession, employers have gotten much more precise. There's no more, `Get us a warm body.

Plan means buildings, bonds According to an agenda submitted to the Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, the additional $8.7 million needed to finance the Master Plan includes $7.7 million allotted to UCO from the statewide higher education bond issue voters approved in November and $1 million in UCO plant funds. "Although we were grateful for the $7.7 million, that's a drop in the bucket for our overall needs," Nigh said. "I asked the people who put together the master plan if there was any way we could do this ourselves," he said. "So we had two financial advisers to look at all of our income and to tell us what we could do with our own money." Nigh said the advisers explained the possibility of issuing bonds, but explained that it would require raising fees. "The student's first concern is parking," Nigh said. "We may be one of two universities in the state who have no parking fees. And we have no library fee and we need library space," he added.
By Roy Howe Staff Writer
In an effort to finance the University of Central Oklahoma's $45 million Master Plan, student fees could jump from the current $2-per-credit-hour cost to $4.50 per credit hour as early as next fall, said UCO President George Nigh. The per-credit-hour fee increase will go towards an $8.7 million library expansion. In addition, a $25-per-year parking fee is also being considered to add extra spaces, landscaping, lighting and safety to the university's parking areas. "If everything goes well, we should have major parking improvements by the beginning of the next fall semester," Nigh said. "That's my goal.", The increase in fees will help contribute to the retirement of $37 million in revenue bonds UCO hopes to sell in the near future. Section 13 money that the university receives annually and rental fees and Nigh also explained that the money profits from the University Center are also sources that are targeted to pay off marked for parking and library expansions will be used for nothing else. the 30-year bonds.

"All the money raised for the parking fee will be used exclusively for the parking lots and its safety," he said. "The same is true with the library fees. The library fees will go only towards the library and no where else," he said. Nigh explained that the idea to sell revenue bonds to finance building needs and equipment is untried with other universities. "After we saw what our needs were and we saw that we couldn't meet our needs we said, 'lets sell our own bonds, - he said. "Nobody else has done it the way that we are going to have to do it." Projects targeted for the $45 million master plan include the $5.5 million parking project, $8.7 million for library expansion, $15 million for expanding the University Center, Nigh Institute and Archive facility and $4.4 million to go towards classroom building projects. Financing and reserve expenses for the bonds will cost $3.5 million. Money from the state bonds and UCO plant funds will finance a multi-purpose office and classroom building for the College of Education and the addition

.UCO plans to hawk $37 million in bonds When former University of Central Oklahoma President Bill Lillard retired last year, President-elect George Nigh couldn't say enough about how Lillard left this university in such great financial shape. Now, Nigh is the President and he is looking to tap in the university's excellent bank account. Nigh and his staff plan to put this university in hawk for a cool $37 million if all the dominos fall the right way. UCO revenue bonds make up the $37 million hawk and they can make or break this university or both. The bonds will provide the money that UCO desperately needs to keep up with the fast pace growth it has and continues to experience. In addition to the $37 million UCO revenue bonds, $7.7 million state bonds will be thrown into the pot. UCO has a nest egg of its own totaling a whopping S1 million coming from UCO Physical Plant funds. The dizzying numbers come to a grand total of S45.7 million. That's the cost of the exalted Master Plan. Now, the big question is who gets what and who gets it first. It looks like the College of Education is the winner with Math and Science coining in a close second. Nigh and crew have decided to build a brand new classroom building for the College of Education with a price tag of $3.7 million. For the science guys, $5 million provides for a renovation of Howell Hall. Overall, these are the best places to start. Things have gone beyond unbearable. Howell Hall doesn't have a nook or cranny that isn't stuffed with equipment, faculty, and students. The College of Education has to hit the streets and rent classroom space from outlying churches or buy tin cans to accommodate the students. These new classrooms and renovations of old ones are just a start on one need. More classrooms are needed in other UCO colleges. New equipment is needed everywhere. More sections need to be created. Old buildings need uplifting. And last but not least, parking lots need to built. Most students aren't griping because they have to walk to class from so far away, but for the lack of spaces. Build some new lots. So what if they're located by the fire station on second street, it's a place to park. This is America. Its in hawk, so why not just conform to the rest of land and its people. UCO should issue its own bonds and try to keep up with the natural growth of students and their needs. It may or may not have the resources to pay its debt. Wait 30 years and see

Fearful coed pleads for action egarding the recent attack and attempted rape of a female University of Central Oklahoma student, I have an extremely valid suggestion that I PRAY you will consider. Believe me, if you were a young female as myself, and had to live with the fear of being attacked at school, it would be very important to you that somebody did something to help andprotect you. While the police escort service is the perfect idea and I feel definitely would have prevented this attack, the service is definitely not publicized enough and students
usually do not have access to this service. For example, in the library and in Mitchell Hall, there are campus phones that students can use free to call the campus police and ask for an escort to their car. However, these phones are not necessarily labeled and most students probably don' t know that they are there or what they are for. All other buildings on campus, as far as I know, have NO such phone. For example, if a young woman whose night class is in Old North needed an escort to her car, she has no way to call and ask for one.
PLEASE place a campus phone in every building. If you have to raise student fees to pay for it, then by all means do so! You can't put a price on the safety of a human being! Place these phones near exits so young females will see them as they are leaving a building, stop and use them! Please, I don' t know if anyone will care about one young woman's plea, but this letter could have been written by any female enrolled at UCO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Edmond and campus police worked to stop northbound traffic on University and divert the traffic to other streets. "It was kind of a hectic first day, " said Roberts.

bonds will cost $3.5 million. Money from the state bonds and UCO plant funds will finance a multi-purpose office and classroom building for the College of Education and the addition and renovation of Howell Hall. Nigh commended the personnel in the office of Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration, for their ongoing efforts involved with the OK for UCO to sell revenue bonds. They worked their butts off," he said. The approval process involves four steps. Last December UCO was
given permission by the Regents of Oklahoma Colleges to proceed with the Master Plan and to approach the state Legislature for approval. The next step involves the consent of the state Legislature. "We've spoken with our legislative leaders and they have to introduce a simple resolution," Nigh said. "We feel comfortable with this resolution which will be ready when they (Legislature) begin their session in February." Next, the plan to sell revenue bonds will be examined by a bond oversight committee. This

committee will make sure that the dollar figures are accurate and that the bonds are not too burdensome for the university and can be re-paid. Finally, before UCO can begin selling the 30-year bonds, the plan goes to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education for approval. "We're several steps from reality, but we think we can do it," Nigh said. "We can't look to anyone else for the money so we have to do it ourselves. With this plan we can literally touch every corner of the campus," he said.

"Chaplin" charms movie-goers Movie highlights life of silent-screen genius By Travis Clark Guest Columnist
Richard Attenborough's "Chaplin," the life story of Charles Chaplin, the genius of the silent films, is one of the major films of the holiday season. Released Friday, Jan. 9, "Chaplin" stars Robert Downey, Jr. as Charlie Chaplin, Kevin Kline as Douglas Fairbanks, Anthony Hopkins as Chaplin's fictional editor, and Kevin Dunn as J. Edgar Hoover.

Fraternities plan spring rush By Bill Hamilton Staff Writer o
The fraternities on the mnpus of The University of Central Oklahoma are preparing for spring rush, the process by which fraternities look for potential members. This semester there are five fraternities on campus that will be holding rush functions. The fraternities are: Acacia, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon. The Acacia Fraternity will talk individually with people. They are not throwing any big parties because their house is not
completed," said Stan Flowers, Acacia president. The Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity will host their parties on Wednesday nights from 8-11 p.m. Their house is located at 319 E. Main. The theme of the party on Wed., Jan. 20 is ATO Rodeo, the party on Wed., Jan. 27 is ATO Ski Lodge. Their final party will be Feb. 4, said Mike Manchester, ATO member. The Kappa Sigma Fraternity will hold three rush parties on Wednesday nights from 8-11 p.m. The dates of the parties are Jan. 20, Jan. 27 and Feb. 4. The fraternity house is located at 700 N. Chowning. We are tired of the fraternity

reputation of being about parties only. Our house is growing and we think that a more personalized party will work better," said Mark McMahill, president of Kappa Sigma. The Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity will hold three more rush parties from 8-11 p.m. on Wednesday nights. The house is located at 911 Washington. The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity will have two parties on Jan. 20 and 27. The house is located at 303 E. Ayers. Students that are interested in joining a fraternity can do so by going to that particular house and asking for the rush chairman.

Oil still spilling in Shetland Islands SUMBURG11, Shetland Islands (AP) — Savage weather has tom the grounded tanker Bracr into at least three pieces, officials said today. But they were uncertain how much more oil had spilled. The Liberian-registered tanker was breaking up a week after it ran aground at the south tip of Mainland, the largest of the Shetland Islands. By Monday more than half of the Liberian-registered tanker's 24.6 million gallons of Norwegian light crude had poured into the North Sea, an official said. That amount was more than the 11 million gallons of heavy crude dumped by the Exxon Valdez into Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989, the worst spill in U.S. history.

Basketball teams have happy holidays By Justin Harper Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's men's basketball team celebrated the holiday season by taking a trip to Florida. The Bronchos weren't there for fun in the sun however, they were there to play a little basketball. Two games and a ton of points later the Bronch's were the champions of the Florida Today/McDonnel Douglas Holiday Classic. Along the way to the title UCO came up against a statistical rival. The Bronchos first round opponent was the 6th ranked and leading scoring team in the nation, Troy State. UCO, being the second leading scoring team, whipped the Trojans 123114 to become the undisputed king of the boxscore and advance to play Florida Atlantic in the finals. The Bronchos disposed of FAU 86-79 and laid claim to the title. Alex Wright was named the tournament MVP, the third time this season he has recieved such an award, and was joined on the
All-Tournament team by teammate's Fred Tyler and Malcom Leak. Wright was also named the Lone Star player of the week for the third time this year. A UCO player has won the award four out of the five times it has been awarded this year.
The Lady Bronchos also had a happy holiday season by treating themselves to two losing-streak-snapping victories over a couple of old adversaries. The Lady Bronch's put an end to a career of futility against West Texas State and Oklahoma City University.
Tyler also received a very prestigious honor being tabbed by Sports Illustrated as the national small school player of the week. Tyler is the first Broncho ever to receive the award.
The Lady Bronchos won their first ever game against WTSU ., defeating the Lady Buffaloes 8164. WTSU had held an 11-0 series lead over UCO. OCU had a similar streak versus the Lady Broach's, racking up a 13-0 record against UCO. The Lady Bronchos again ended the streak by posting a thrilling 64-62 win.
As a team UCO shot .416 percent from the field in the tourney and held a huge rebounding edge, out rebounding the two teams by a combined total of 102-71. The Bronchos are now averaging 114 points per game, a total which leads the nation in all divisions. The painfully thin UCO squad added some depth over the break when point guard Anthony Jones transferred in from Moberly (Miss.) Junior College. Jones played sparingly in the tourney and is expected to see more playing time this week.
Survivors of Incest/ Sexual Abuse or Assault
Ton'Nea Williams was named the LSC player of the week completing the UCO sweep of the award. Williams averaged 17.7 points and 10.0 rebounds in the Lady Bronchos three kvins last week.
