Cable channel to feature civil rights documentary by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer To honor Martin Luther King Day, the Discovery Times Channel will feature Peter Gilbert's do'cumentary, "A Southern Town," Jan. 18 and 19. Sponsored by the American Democracy Project, Peter Gilbert visited Central Dec. 5 for a screening of the documentary and discussion. "A Southern Town" takes place in Jackson, Miss. and tells the stories of some forgotten names of civil rights activists. Gilbert said there are many other civil rights activists other than King and Rosa Parks. He said he filmed in Jackson because his parents were freedom fighters there and he had always heard stories about Jackson. The documentary cuts back and forth between present and past. It depicts the harsh realities
of what America was like in one but didn't know what to do. "People stood up and made a of the last American cities to huge change in our society," he institute civil equality. "Civil rights weren't like the said. "No one really knows about movie 'Mississippi Burning,"' these everyday people."

March to honor King A celebration and symbolic march will be held Jan. 15 to commemorate the life and death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "This is the 10th year that we've had the celebration," said MeShawn Conley, UCO multicultural organizations.

"These issues actually exist — we just don't talk about them as much," Gilbert said. "A Southern Town" film is scheduled to have a theatrical debut in May. When asked where the black race is at right now, Gilbert said that that is a very difficult question. "One way to approach that question is to get together all different filmmakers," he said. The only problem is that American filmmakers have to deal with what sells. Gilbert worked seven and a half years on the film "Hoop Dreams," and the studio came back and asked him to make a "real" film about Chicago. He replied, "I just did." "The problem we have is this whole fascination with deviancy," he said. "People need to be educated about how to watch TV these days." Gilbert said he is thankful that the Discovery Times Channel allowed him to make his film without controlling it. "Four companies will soon own the world — it's a scary thing. I think the more people that own companies, the better." Gilbert said it is possible to make a film for a small amount of money and encouraged the audience to go out there and do it. "It is important that we keep the freedom we have worked so hard to gain and vital to keep history alive." The documentary will air at 9 p.m. Jan. 18th and at 12 a.m., 5 a.m., 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Jan. 19.

Baha'i Center to host dramatist by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer Widely acclaimed dramatist Ladjamaya will perform at the Edmond Bahi'l Center at 7 p.m. Jan. 17. The special service is in honor of World Religion Day, a day of observance established in 1950 by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baldis of the United States. Ladjamaya is known across the country for reciting Balui'l prayers and writings. Ladjamaya's performance will be a collage of poetry, prose, drama and song. Her emphasis is on the need for racial unity and world peace. "I want to use my talents as an instrument of peace," she said. "I want to reach a little closer to the souls of humanity, fostering love, understanding and brotherhood." The Baha'i belief is the conviction that humanity is a single people with a common destiny.

Central's Volunteer Center will host a "Building Blitz" Jan. 19 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in conjunction with Martin Luther King Day celebrations. The theme for the event is, "Make it a day on, not a day off." About 30 students will be needed to build houses for the Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity project. Veronica Alarcon, coordinator for the Volunteer Center, said that she has fun and enjoys projects such as this one. "I've participated in several projects like this, and each one is very exciting," she said. After meeting at the Volunteer Center, students will travel to the Spencer and South Oklahoma City areas to begin work on the one-day project. In the past,
some projects have taken many days. "One day we would paint; the next day we would focus on carpentry, cabinetwork and restoration. Another day we might just do landscaping," Alarcon said. "Each day is a different project." Liliana Vargas, freshman Spanish major, is also a volunteer. She said that she enjoys working with other people. "Volunteer projects like this usually consist of a diverse group made of different classes [freshmen, etc.]," Vargas said. "It is exciting to be able to really connect with other people and be involved in a tight group," she said. For information about the Volunteer Center and any of its upcoming events, call 974-2621. For information on the Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity, visit http://cohfh.org .
In the words of Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i faith, "The earth is but one country, and mankind, its citizens." Baha'u'llah taught that there is
one god who progressively reveals his will to humanity. Baha'is believe that racism is the most vital and challenging issue facing America. Tom Dunn attends the Edmond BaU'i. Center and said, "The basis of the Baha'i faith is that you have to believe in equality of all races." It is also important that men and women are considered equal, he said. "You can't have religion until you have equality," Dunn said. The Band'is see World Religion Day as an annual effort to get all the religions together.
"Hopefully people will get out of this day the oneness of all religions," Dunn said. "Baha'is believe all religions are one." Most Baha'fs celebrate this day by hosting discussions and conferences. There is no charge and everyone is welcome to attend the 7 p.m. event. Normal devotion time is held every Sunday morning from 10 to 10:30 a.m. followed by breakfast at the center, 321 E. Campbell St.

Movie review Make this 'House' a home
Cartoon by Eric Osbom
In his own words: Martin Luther King, Jr. MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: "While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities `unwise and untimely.' Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statements in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view, which argues against "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Frequently we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago the affiliate here in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct-action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here I am here because I have organizational ties here. But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco-Roman world, so am I. compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds. You deplore the demonstrations taking place In Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative."
This is an excerpt from the letter sent by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from jail in April of 1963. It was sent to eight fellow clergymen from Birmingham, Alabama. The original writing was begun on the margins of a newspaper and paper scraps, for the jailers initially wouldn't permit King to have a legal pad. He was arrested after demonstrating in defiance of a court order. This letter was widely circulated and was heavily influential in the civil-rights movement. Only a few months later, on Aug. 28, 250,000 civil rights supporters attended the 'March on Washington D.C." It was then at the Lincoln Memorial that Martin Luther King Jr. gave his most famous speech, "I Have a Dream." On this Thursday, what would have been King's 75th birthday, let us all remember the sacrifices King and other brave advocates for liberty have made. Let us all remember his dream.
The fall is upon us, and now comes the films that actually have a chance at vying for an Oscar. Dreamworks's "The House of Sand and Fog" is one such film. While it is too early to know whether or not it has a chance at receiving a golden statuette, its quality is already evident. And, I have to say it is a fine film. Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly star in a film about fathers, loss and the pursuit of the American dream. Kathy Nicolo (Connelly) lives in the home of her long dead father, and due to some financial mismanagement, loses it to the county. The house is quickly sold at auction to an Iranian immigrant family. Colonel Behrani (Kingsley) and his family soon move into the house with the hope of starting a new life. But their new life interrupted the life of Kathy, and she doesn't take their transgression lightly. The film unfolds by telling Kathy and Behrani's two stories in parallel. On one side we have Kathy, who we at first pity but later begin to view in a more complex manner as her motives become clouded. "I'm good at making things complicated," she says to Lester (Ron Eldard), a married policeman who has fallen for her. As we watch her stability waver, we see that Kathy embodies the "lost woman," searching for the dream life she never had. Behrani is an ex-soldier trying to lead his family through troubled waters. As newly nationalized citizens, he and his family search to find a home from which they can build a future. He is something of a noble figure of repose, a strong and noble father figure trying to raise his son and give his wife a home. He is the protector, and when the threat of Kathy enters their life, he shows her little pity. Based on the book by Andre Dubus, "The House of Sand and Fog" can be interpreted as a depiction of colonialism and old-fashioned sexual politics. The immigrant family is viewed in a more positive light than that of the white characters; Kathy and Lester serve to be the anti-family. The role of women in the film is deserving of some personal analysis as well, as Kathy doesn't seem to function without a man in her life. Ben Kingsley is top form, as he delivers the top performance of the film. Never for a moment do we question that he is Behrani, soldiering on with his family in tow. Connelly is excellent as usual, portraying damaged goods reminiscent of her character in "Requiem for a Dream" (2000). To Connelly's credit, Kathy could have very well been a despicable character, but instead we empathize due to Connelly's deft control. Ron Eldard also does a good job of portraying the simple-minded Lester, but for some reason, it really doesn't seem like much of a stretch. "The House of Sand and Fog" is a good film with genuine
emotion. First time director Vadim Perelman pulled from his own experience as an immigrant, and he gives the story a sense of understanding. With good performances all around, a fine score by James Horner and a solid story combine to create a polished film.
`You could stand on his word.' A salute to an American patriot You could stand on his word. In a world of quicksand, he was a rock. My friend Terry May recently. I first met him over a decade ago at UCO, when I became chairman of journalism in a bureaucratic world of shifting loyalties and political turf wars. I soon learned who I could trust on campus, and he led a very short list. He was my age and had served as chair of the military science department before moving up as assistant vice-president in Academic Affairs, as one of my superiors. He was a no-nonsense leader with an eye to detail that saddled him with a lot of grunt work others on campus could not, or would not, do. As a retired Lieutenant Colonel, his military training in the U.S. Army, his organizational and leadership experience always got the job done, regardless of the competence or incompetence of those above or below him. Whether it was fine tooth detail on job description advertising, or on the minute timing for innumerable graduation ceremonies, Terry May could be counted on. More important to me was his confidence and friendship. I could count on him for accurate, solid information that cut through bureaucratic red tape and wishy-washiness. Whether I liked the news or disagreed, I knew I could rely on Terry. When we disagreed, it was always professionally, never personally. We simply agreed to disagree. We did agree on much. Some on campus demeaned him because he didn't have a doctoral "terminal degree," and he knew I despised that

attitude with him. In our books, experience, whether in the military or management or journalism, counts far more that a mere degree. Although the administrators improved over the years, the workload did not, and we shared the frustrations. His office was a testament to military precision, with neat rows of folders, files and other documents that baffled my messy journalistic mind. But his quiet office was a haven to sit and talk about the military or family or children or grandchildren or wildlife. I always left refreshed, with a smile on my face reflecting his easy laugh and smile. When he retired a year ago, I knew he was going to do what he loved most...spending more time with his wife and college sweetheart Rita, with his children and grandchildren, on his cabin on an eastern Oklahoma lake, and in writing. His writing bonded us more than ever. He started late in life and became one of the most prolific and inspirational writers I have known. His column in the Edmond Sun, "Patriots in Profile," recounted the stories of WWII, Korean and Vietnam veterans, with pictures of how they looked then and now. He called me "column coach," a name I now treasure more than ever, because he turned to me for advice and critiques and in the earlier works, and for understanding in the arcane world of journalistic publishing. I was astounded at his eye for detail, his organization and his passion for the work. His ethics in writing were just as honorable as in administration, or in the Army. If editing in the paper screwed up one of his articles, he

would agonize over it. He even called the story subjects and apologized, because he knew how much inaccuracy could ruin a story, especially for military people. I wish all my students could have his passion for accuracy. He became emotionally involved with his story subjects too, thanking them for their service to the country, helping others gain long-lost recognition. He started this year to put his columns into a book, and at his request, I wrote a blurb for it, comparing his writing to Ernie Pyle's. I meant it. His writing, and his life, is an inspiration to me, and to many others. He dedicated his writing to preserving the individual stories of aging veterans before they died. I've written about him, urging other journalists to do the same, using his guidelines, but nobody has written a profile of Terry May. Then he came down with acute leukemia, and fought it with faith, family, humor, courage, and solid rock honesty. But my friend, who survived. Vietnam and uncounted bureaucratic wars, couldn't defeat cancer. Friends, and people like Terry, are rare and we need them so much in America today.

The week in review CONCORD, N.H. (AP) _ Democratic presidential hopeful Wesley Clark swooped into Howard Dean territory on Monday, winning the endorsement of an American Indian tribe based in his rival's home state. Tribal leaders of the Abenaki Nation at Missiquoi, which claims about 4,000 members in Vermont and 2,000 in New Hampshire, acknowledged their support for Clark was also a statement against the former Vermont governor. Dean, as governor, opposed state and federal recognition for the Abenaki, saying it could lead to extensive legal battles over land claims and might allow the tribe to build casinos in Vermont. Chief April Rushlow said the tribe is seeking recognition for other benefits, including scholarships to state schools. "He didn't do anything for our native people," she said of Dean. "I hear him talk about education, but our children can't apply for scholarships earmarked for Native Americans." Matthew Gardner, a spokesman for the candidate, said that Dean worked closely with the Abenaki descendants to promote their
economic progress, education and cultural development. Clark, appearing with Abenaki leaden at the Museum of New Hampshire History, promised to help protect historical Indian sites, promote inclusiveness and provide more federal help to similar tribes. "Native Americans are the first Americans," Clark said. "I will not let you down."

BY THE NUMBERS: 16 — Percentage of Jews who consider themselves Republican, up from 9 percent in 2000, according to a new poll, the 2004 Annual Survey of American Jewish Opinion.
THIS DATE FOUR YEARS AGO: Texas Gov. George W. Bush prepared to air new ads defending his commitment to Social Security and accused Republican rival Steve Forbes of running a negative campaign. Arizona Sen. John McCain waded into the contentious issue of flying the Confederate flag in South Carolina, saying he viewed it as a "symbol of heritage." Democrat Bill Bradley dismissed as "not a big deal" a letter he wrote to the Commerce Department in 1994 urging a quick decision on behalf of a company whose top officers were political contributors.

Asked whether she thought the primary would help achieve those rights, she said no, because so few people are expected to
MONDAY'S ROUNDUP: A week before the Iowa caucuses, polls showed Dean and Dick Gephardt scratching it out for first place, with John Edwards and John Kerry battling for third. Dean had to defend his record on race after it was noted that, during more than a decade as governor of mostly white Vermont,
he never had a black or Hispanic Cabinet member. He promised that, if elected president, his Cabinet "will look like the rest of America." Kerry picked up an endorsement from Iowa first lady Christie Vilsack, whose husband, Gov. Tom Vilsack, doesn't plan to endorse before the Jan. 19 contest. Gephardt taped "Late Show with David Letterman" in New York. In New Hampshire, Kerry's campaign renewed criticism of Clark's praise for the Bush administration at a Republican fundraiser in May 2001. Polls show Clark and Kerry competing for second place, behind Dean, in the state's Jan. 27 primary Clark, who is bypassing the Iowa caucuses, campaigned in New Hampshire and planned to attend an evening event in Dallas. Lieberman, also skipping Iowa, traveled to Oklahoma and Arizona, which hold primaries Feb. 3. Edwards, Carol Moseley Braun and Dennis Kucinich stayed in Iowa, while Al Sharpton campaigned in Washington, D.C. Attending the Summit of the Americas in Mexico, President Bush sought to smooth
relations that were further strained by Mexico's opposition to the Iraq war. Bush also won crucial support from Mexican Pr es ident Vicente Fox for his recent immigration proposals.
TUESDAYS TRAIL: D.C. holds a nonbinding primary that most candidates ignore. Only Braun, Dean, Kucinich and Sharpton appear on the ballot. Edwards and Kerry travel around Iowa. Dean takes the day off in Vermont. Clark campaigns in New Hampshire and New York; Lieberman is in Delaware and New Hampshire, and Kucinich goes to North Dakota, site of Feb. 3 caucuses. Gephardt delivers a foreign policy speech in New York then travels west for campaigning in Seattle and a fund-raiser in Los Angeles.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Joe Lieberman reached out to middle class Oklahomans on Monday with a tax cut plan he said will give nearly all of them a break. The Connecticut senator stumped at a Tulsa breakfast on the same day his daughter, Rebecca Lieberman, campaigned in several smaller Oklahoma communities on his behalf: Health care premiums and high childcare costs are the most pressing concern of middle class Americans, Lieberman said Saying "a strong middle class means a strong America," he touted his plan to cut taxes for 98 percent of them and raise taxeson_wealthier Americans topay off the
national deficit. "I've never seen the middle class so stressed in my life," Lieberman said. A poll taken by the American Research Group in December of registered Democrats in Oklahoma showed Lieberman lagging behind Howard Dean and Wesley Clark But Lieberman called Oldahoma's Feb. 3 primary "undecided." He pointed to endorsements from leading Oklahoma Democrats, including Democratic Rep. Brad Carson and state Treasurer Robert Butkin, as proof of their confidence in his ability to beat President Bush. After the breakfast, Lieberman sat down with seven
people and outlined his tax cut plan. He cited as an example an Oklahoma City couple with a family income of $60,000 and two daughters in college. Under his plan, Adrian and Loretta Cooper would save $489 in taxes, compared with saving nothing under Clark's plan. He said Dean's plan would raise their taxes by $797. "It's very simple," Lieberman said. "I will give people money, Clark will not and Dean will take money away." But Clark spokesman Bill Buck said the Cooper family would receive $24,000 for their daughters' first two years of college tuition under Clark's plan. He also said Clark's plan would take more than 24,000 Oklahoma families of four making under $50,000 off the
federal income tax rolls. Another 400,000 would receive tax breaks, he said. Lieberman said Oklahoma voters share the same concerns over job security, taxes and terrorism as voters nationwide. Retired teacher Doris Williams left the breakfast still undecided about her choice but said she liked Lieberman's emphasis on funding medical research for finding cures for chronic diseases. She had also liked Dean until she learned after a recent debate that no blacks served in his cabinet during his 12 years as Vermont governor. She also said her vote would go to the candidate who best addressed her concerns on education.

Candidates: On the issues The Associated Press chooses an issue three times a week and asks the presidential candidates a question about it. Minimum Wage What increases, if any, do you favor in the $5.15 an hour federal minimum wage? Democrats:
Carol Moseley Braun: "The minimum wage should be a living wage. As president, I will raise the minimum wage by 14 percent over two years. I will help increase livingwage jobs in the U.S. by developing environmental industries and rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure, especially our nation's schools." Wesley Clark: "I will raise
the minimum wage in steps to $7 per hour by 2007 and expand the Earned Income Tax Credit to ensure that lower-income families are rewarded for their work. This increase will be enough to pay for a year of groceries for a full-time, minimum-wage worker and his or her family."
Howard Dean: "I favor increasing the federal minimum wage to $7 during my presidency." Sen. John Edwards: "When inflation is taken into
account, the minimum wage today is more than 20 percent below its level in 1979. I believe that low-income working people deserve better and support an increase in the minimum wage of at least $1.50."
Rep. Dick Gephardt: "I support an immediate increase in the minimum wage and I would index the minimum wage to inflation, so it rises each year. I was proud to lead the fight when we last increased the minimum wage — we had to fight
aRepublican-controlled Congress, but we succeeded. Every worker deserves a living wage, and I support local efforts to pass living-wage laws."
Sen. John Kerry: "I helped lead the fight to pass the last minimum-wage increase in 1997. If I am elected president, I will continue to support increasing the minimum wage and indexing it to inflation. To begin with, I support increasing the minimum wage by $1.50 over the next year."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich: '"I favor restoring the value that has been lost to inflation over the past 35 years, which would mean a minimum wage of over $8.50. I favor indexing this to automatically keep pace with the cost of living." Sen. Joe Lieberman: "One of the main reasons that the poverty rate is now higher than it was 30 years ago is that the minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation. It simply isn't possible to make ends meet at $5.15 an hour in most places in the country.
Workers need to make enough to have a decent life. We should raise the minimum wage to $7."
Al Sharpton: "Let me say I would campaign for a $2 raise in minimum wage. I think that the minimum wage at this point is unrealistic given the costs of life in America." Republicans: The Bush-Cheney campaign says President Bush will begin participating • in the weekly issues survey in February.
Death Penalty Do you support the death penalty? Democrats:
Carol Moseley Braun: "In the Illinois General Assembly in 1984 I proposed a death penalty moratorium, 15 years before one was enacted. The death penalty is racist in its implementation, and is too often a revenge response. As Dr. (Martin Luther) King once said, 'an eye for an eye will simply leave us all blind.' Over 50 percent of inmates facing the death penalty are African-American or Hispanic, despite the fact that these minorities together make up only a quarter of our entire population. As a United States senator, I fought to allow statistical data on race to be heard at death penalty appeals. As president, I will work to establish a
moratorium on the federal death penalty." Wesley Clark: "I believe the death penalty should be available for the most heinous crimes. At the same time, I am concerned about reports of mistakes on death row, and errors and unfairness in our criminal justice system. The death penalty is too often applied in a discriminatory and uneven way. If we are to carry out the ultimate penalty, it must be with the ultimate safeguards."
Howard Dean: "I believe the death penalty should be available for extreme and heinous crimes, such as terrorism or the killing of police officers or young children. But it must be carried out with scrupulous fairness."
Sen. John Edwards:
believe the death penalty is the most fitting punishment for the most heinous crimes, and I support it. But we need reforms in the death penalty to ensure that defendants receive fair trials, with zealous and competent lawyers, and with full access to DNA testing. I co-sponsored the original version of the Innocence Protection Act in order to advance these goals, and would consider additional measures to ensure that death sentences are imposed only on the guilty, and only after fair trials."
Rep. Dick Gephardt: "I support the death penalty for heinous crimes, but I also believe we have the responsibility to ensure that it is enforced in a manner that is fair and just. As such, I have opposed efforts to deny capi-
tal defendants access to appeals and the use of statistics on the race of death row inmates at trial. We must use the latest technology such as DNA testing, and we must provide the necessary funding to ensure that capital defendants have access to competent legal counsel. I have supported bipartisan legislation that would accomplish both these goals, and I will work to make it the law of the land in a Gephardt administration. I would also support a thorough review of the federal death penalty to ensure that its enforcement is free from discrimination."
Sen. John Kerry: ''I oppose the death penalty other than in cases of real international and domestic terrorism. We know we have put innocent people to death; 111 innocent
people have, already been released from death row. As president, I'll enforce the law but I'll also have a national moratorium on federal executions until we use DNA evidence to make sure those on death row are guilty."
Rep. Dennis Kucinich: oppose the death penalty and would ban it. Ninety-eight percent of defendants sentenced to death have been people who could not afford their own attorneys. One death row inmate is found innocent for every seven executed. African-American defendants are more likely to receive death sentences than others who committed similar crimes. And the death penalty does nothing to deter crime that can't be accomplished at least as well without it."
have long supported the death penalty for the most egregious crimes and terrorists, and I still do. I also believe that the death penalty must be applied fairly. That means we must ensure that people accused of capital crimes and subject to the death penalty have adequate legal protections, including the right to DNA testing and first-rate legal counsel, which is why am I a co-sponsor of legislation that would strengthen these critical protections."
Al Sharpton: "Unilaterally opposed and unequivocally under any circumstances." Republican: The Bush-Cheney campaign says President Bush will begin participating in the weekly issues survey in February.
Sen. Joe Lieberman: "I

Technology aids state economy, says report OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma is making progress in improving its economy through technology, a report said Monday. "Meeting Challenges in the New Economy" is the third edition of an ongoing study conducted by the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science Technology, with funding provided by the Noble Foundation and the Presbyterian Health Foundation. Dr. William. A. Sibley, executive director of OCAST, said Oklahoma had made improvements in average earnings, per capita personal income and percent of the workforce employed. "Our rankings have improved," Sibley said. "From 2000 to 2002, we improved from 43rd in the nation in per capital income to 40th. We rank 15th in the nation in high school graduations, with 77 percent of our students graduating, and Oklahoma is a leader in the number of nationally certified teachers per capita."
Campus Events
During the same period, he said, Oklahoma improved from 41st to 31st in the country in university research and development and from 30th to 28th in federal research and development. The state, however, slipped in the areas of industrial research and development from 37th to 40th. Recommendations in the report included: —Increased state tax credits and exemptions for receirch and development, at least to the federal level of 20 percent. —Increased funding for university research in sensors, biotechnology, information technology, weather technology and aerospace. —Increased focus on science education, including recruiting students with those interests to attend Oklahoma universities. — Establishing "centers for excellence" in such areas as weather, information technology, biotechnology and sensors. —Recruiting research and development companies.

Club opts to not put pit of alligators under dancefloor
ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Atlanta police said a man carjacked a woman's vehicle from Fulton County Jail property immediately after he was released early Saturday. Police believe that Nathaniel Lee Stanley, 20, threatened a driver and her passenger before taking the 1996 Ford Explorer from the jail parking lot. Fulton Sheriff's Lt. Clarence Huber said the truck's owner and her passenger escaped from the vehicle unharmed before Stanley sped away. Stanley was arrested Thursday on charges of violating the state's controlled substance laws, having a suspended driver's license and an expired tag. Huber said the charges were dismissed at a magistrate's hearing at the jail, and Stanley was released at 3:20 a.m. Saturday. He left the jail, walked into the parking lot and forced himself into the vehicle. The Ford Explorer was found several hours later a short distance from the jail. Atlanta police are still searching for Stanley.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A nightclub that had planned to put a pit of live alligators under a glass dance floor has scrapped the idea, after opposition from neighbors, animal-rights activists and government officials. "It was something that people were pretty adamant that they didn't want to see happening," said Jackie Gulbe, assistant director of community relations for Louisville Metro Animal Services, which received complaints about the proposal. Animal Services Director Eric Blow said he sent someone to the club to speak to its owners in November after receiving a tip about the alligators. Later, Blow said the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, became aware of the plan for the pit. After that, more than 100 complaints from all over the country came in, Blow said. Animal Services visited the site and told one of the owners that the alligator pit would be illegal. An ordinance prohibits the display of wild animals "for display or for exhibition purposes, whether gratuitously or for a fee." Mark Abrams, business liaison for the Original Highlands Neighborhood Association, said the owners of the planned Wet Willy's club hadn't been familiar with the issues. "They're not herpetologists. They're bar owners," he said. The owners of the proposed club could not be reached for comment. A note last month to Blow from Don Burns, one of the club's developers, said the planned alligator pit was being dropped.
Man steals vehicle from jail lot immediately after release
Two Japanese men arrested for electricity theft TOKYO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Police have nabbed two Japanese men for stealing electricity in heists worth about 1 yen (less than 1 U.S. cent) each, an official said Sunday. A 38-year-old company employee was caught red-handed by a patrolling police officer while using a power outlet intended for the neon sign of nearby restaurant to recharge his mobile phone last September, an Osaka prefecteral (state) police spokesman said on condition of anonymity.
The other culprit, a 22-yearold university student, was giving a street performance in, November when he unplugged a vending machine in order to , power his portable stereo. A' police officer was alerted after local residents complained about the noise, the spokesman said. Police said they could not let the incidents slide, although the: men are believed to have stolen' only about 1 yen (US$0.0094) worth of electricity. Both men confessed and have gotten off with reprimands, the spokesman said. .

Clam chowderlcondom suit resolved in California court SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) Four women have resolved their lawsuit against a restaurant where one of them allegedly found a condom in her clam chowder,, attorneys said Monday. The women had sued McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant, claiming negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress after one bit into an unwrapped,' rolled-up condom on Feb. 26, 2002. The case was scheduled to begin Monday in Orange County Superior Court but was canceled after the two sides' reached a resolution. Details were not released. "The case has been resolved in its entirety" lawyers for both; sides said in a joint statement Monday. "Both sides are happy with the outcome." The women said they were all: eating clam chowder when Laila Sultan, 48, bit into something rubbery. Defense attorneys previ-, ously said there was no evidence suggesting the Irvine restaurant put the condom into the soup, and were at a loss for an explana tion. McCormick & Schmick's, a privately owned chain that owns 42 upscale restaurants in 19 states, sued the company that supplied its clams. A judge ruled in favor of the supplier last _ ; September. . .

The No. 2-ranked Bronchos wrestling team continued their winning tradition sweeping two road matches in two days last week over ranked opponents. Central jumped on No. 18 Chadron State winning six of the first seven matches on their way to a 25-13 victory in Chadron, Neb. on Jan 9. UCO took a 13-0 lead after wins by Jared Henning, Cole Province, Wade Bramlitt and Jared. Goodwin. Henning defeated Seth Groff 7-4 at 125 pounds. Province earned his 13-4 win over Chase Francis at 133 pounds. Bramlitt beat Ryan Hoffman 8-2 at 141 lbs. The Eagles finally got on the board with a decision at 157 but the Bronchos rallied as Shawn Silvis and Jason Tapia took the next two matches. Tapia pinned Jake Schluckebier in 1:30 at 174 pounds in the most dominating performance of the contest. Chadron took the next two matches before Chris Finn finished the win with a 5-1 triumph over Cale Bickerdyke in the heavyweight match. On Jan. 8, the Bronchos visited Hays, Kan. to face No. 14 Fort Hays State. In a battle of ranked wrestlers, No. 3 Tapia conquered No. 6ranked Aaron Meister in a 11-3 majority decision. Silvia pinned FHSU's Phil Hart in 50 seconds to secure the lone fall of the match. Province overtook Brady Walter in a 10-2 decision early in the match.
