Suspect arrested in campus rapes BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP) —The husband of Bloomsburg University's new police chief is accused of raping a co-worker and is under investigation in four more attacks — one that occurred when he and his wife were in town for her job interview. Michael Recce Boykin blamed his arrest on racism, and a university trustee said resentment and suspicion have dogged the couple since the wife took over campus security. Boykin, 41, a university maintenance worker, is married to former Chicago police officer Margaret Boykin. They took their campus jobs Oct. 31. That afternoon, a student was raped in a gymnasium. Rapes on or near the campus followed on Nov. 27 and Dec. 11. On Dec. 18, one of B oykin' s co-workers was raped in a university pickup truck, and she named him as the attacker. He pleaded innocent to rape charges last week in that attack and was held on $75,000 bail.

can accomplish this through education," said Buchanan in his speech. People had many reasons for attending, but remembering the struggles our society has gone through in the last 25 years seemed to be a common theme. "This holiday means a great deal because it gives black students an awareness of what has happened in the struggle for civil rights. It gives people a chance to get together and remember his dream and keep striving to achieve it," said Andre Washington, treasurer of the Black Students Association. "This is a day to get together to think of what his struggle was all about and to think about how we can better ourselves and future generations," said UCO student Rhonda Byars. "We must carry the torch of equality through every city and every state until we can pass it on to the next generation," said Dunn.
Convoy responds to new death reports SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Hoping to stem a reported wave of deaths from cold and hunger, U.N. officials last week assembled a convoy for Zepa, the east Bosnian town cut off from aid since the 9month old ethnic war began. The convoy was in response to reports of new deaths in and around the Muslim enclave in Serb-held territory.
API chief discounts energy proposals HOUSTON (AP) — Presidentelect Clinton's proposed energy policies could derail economic growth, the head of the oil industry's largest trade group claims. American Petroleum Institute President Charles DiBona told Houston members Tuesday the "naive and disturbing" conservation and fuel preference measures espoused by many in the Clinton camp would stifle economic growth. • See World Wrap, page 4

Every student has been there. No higher educational facility could function without one and most have names honoring people who have passed on. They also require sizable funds to operate. The library at the University of Central Oklahoma is no different. Max Chambers Library is one of the most prominent landmarks on campus. Hopefully, as mentioned above, most students are aware of it. Some students even use it if they can bend their schedules around it. When students do use it, they often find problems and their complaints can be heard loud and clear. The big gripe is that the hours aren't flexible enough. The library isn't open late enough on weekends or such. The solution could be to keep the facility open longer hours on the weekend. Sounds easy enough to do but it costs money. In order to keep the library open, it must be staffed. Also, think of the utility bill. Another complaint is that there isn't enough computer terminals to search for research material or find a book. The solution could be to buy more terminals. That's really not the • solution because there isn't any space to put the computers, besides, it costs money. Students who use the library a great deal cant relate to the next problem of having to wait for the library to borrow a particular book or piece of literature that the library doesn't own simply because it can't afford it in the first place and if it could it wouldn't have the shelf space to keep it. So, how about adding on to the library ? Nigh and staff have proposed an expansion of the library with and estimated cost of S8.7 million. Nigh has proposed a S2.50 per credit hour student fee to help pay for it. Sounds good so far but do students have to start paying for the fee in the fall of '93 or begin paying when the expansion is completed and more books are on the shelf with enough computers to find them? The answer to that question should be after the students see the improvements. If a student has to pay for something, he or she wants something in return for that payment. New walls at the library should 20 up before the student's fees do.

Enrollment bothersome for students t is 12:30 p.m. and many University of Central Oklahoma classes are coming to the conclusion. Students rush to pay phones and call their employers, asking to be excused for the remaining hours of the day. The manager replies, "But why? How long could it possibly take you at the enrollment center." The student then explains, "There are 50 people ahead of me and I ran from my car parked two miles from the administration building." After waiting in the slowly moving line, the student finally reaches his destination, the en-
I
rollment terminal. Once the enrollment employee types the social security number she explains that the computer shows that the student has an unpaid parking ticket for failing to be between the lines in a non-marked gravel pasture and must start all over. Why does UCO have only three enrollment terminals when there are more than 15,000 students? Is the University lacking funds? The University plans to spend millions on the construction of new buildings and the renovation of others, so that more students will be able to attend UCO. Students might soon be calling
their employers, asking for three days to enroll. So, UCO will need more pay phones. UCO will attract more students that will never find a place to park legally, after all there are only 2,954 commuter parking spaces. So, the University will need more campus officers who will need extra citation forms. If a university is going to want the students to work through the system with understanding, then the university should be proficient when the students try to do so. —

Stone in Central Recieving at extension 2981 by 10 a.m. Friday and Receiving will begin picking up items at noon. All faculty and staff will have until Feb. 6, 1993 to look over items to see if there are any they might be able to use.

LAW TON, Okla. (AP) — A 12-year-old Lawton boy who kicked in a door and rescued four children from a burning apartment has been honored by the Lawton City Council for his heroism. "Please don't leave your children home alone," Brandon Abston said in a plea to parents Tuesday as he accepted the award from Police Chief Michael Wightman and Fire Chief Mike Carter. Abston told fire investigators he saw smoke and started knocking on the door of an apartment Dec. 1. No one answered, but Abston could hear children inside. He said he crawled through the dense smoke and found the children in a back bedroom. He grabbed each child and carried them out because they were too terrified to follow him. Another boy waited at the door to take the children from Abston. Abs ton' s stepfather, James Skinner, noted that while his son was performing all these actions, several adults were standing outside the apartments watching. "After hearing so many times of children doing wrong, it is a great pleasure to honor a 12-year-old who demonstrated heroism and courage, saving the lives of at least four people," Carter said in presenting the plaque.

First time in Oklahoma since 1986 By Heide Brandes
Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma will host the 1993 Society of Composers, Inc. Region VI Conference Feb. 46. The conference will be the first hosted by UCO and the first in Oklahoma since 1986. The Society of Composers, Inc. is an organization of composers that hold national and regional meetings consisting of concerts of the composers' works. The conference will include a festival of 20th century music comprised of 16 concerts. "The music festival will feature new music ensembles from all over the region," said Dr. Sam Magrill, assistant professor of music at UCO. Every year, the regional conference is held at different locations. The conference was held at Cameron University in Lawton, Okla. in 1986, the University of Kansas in 1990, the University of Texas at
Arlington in 1991 and Texas Christian University in 1992. Magrill said he was approached in 1991 about hosting the conference at UCO. "I invited a number of new music ensembles and performers for the state and the region to perform," he said. "We got a lot of positive responses." Included among the ensembles to perform at the festival is Trio Tulsa. Trio Tulsa, which consists of violinist Derry Deane, cellist Kari Caldwell and pianist Anna Norburg, won the David Bruce Smith National Competition and was selected to become Artistic Ambassadors for the United States Information Agency. The trio toured in the Caribbean, Central and South America and in the Gulf states of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, The United Arab Emerites,
Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait as Artistic Ambassadors. The group gave the first performances in the Gulf region since Desert Storm. Also included in the festival is the Quapaw Quartet of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, which consists of violinist Eric Hayward, violinist Lei Zhang, violist Timothy Nelson and violoncellist Elise Buffat Nelson. "Trio Tulsa, along with the Quapaw String Qrartet, are topnotch ensembles," Magrill said. "There will be many fine talents perfonning during the festival." The performances will run for three days in the renovated Pegasus Theater in the LA Building and is open to the public. For more information, contact Dr. Magrill at 341-2980, Ext. 5753.

Bronchos bury Warriors under a barrage of points By Justin Harper
Sports Editor "Put round ball in round hole from top to bottom." Such is the theory of Central Oklahoma basketball coach Jim Seward. However, it's doubtful coach Seward, the Broncho players or the sacrificial Warriors of Baptist Christian University expected UCO to practice the theory to such an extreme as was demonstrated Monday night. The ninth-rated Bronchos exploded for an incredible 16777 romp over BCU, setting school and Lone Star Conference records for points in a half (88), points in a game (167) and margin of victory (90). UCO All-America candidate Alex Wright led the Bronchos with 39 points, including eight 3-pointers, while James Morris threw down 35 points and snagged 17 rebounds.

Lady Bronchos spank TWU By Justin Harper
Sports Editor Led by Jana Flanagan's season-high 18 points, Central Oklahoma's women's basketball team ended a two-game Lone Star Conference losing streak by slapping Texas Woman's with a 85-66 loss Monday night. The Lady Bronchos, playing in their third straight LSC road game, used a balanced offensive attack to snap a 35-35 deadlock at half time and pull away from
on 5 of 6 shooting. Williams had a milestone week as the 5'11" center broke the UCO record for career rebounds. Williams broke former Lady Broncho Donna Miller's mark of 644 in Saturday's 89-77 win over UCO, and has now upped the mark to
660. Williams currently is the schools fifth leading scorer and needs 170 more points to surpass Kim Thomas' mark of 1,028. The Lady Bronchos will play host to LSC foe Angelo State Saturday at 6:00 p.m. inside Broncho Field House.
In addition to Wright's 39 points, the senior guard also dished out 9 assists. Morris shot a blistering 76 percent from the field on 16 of 21 shooting. The scoring binge also accounted for LSC and UCO records for field goals attempted (119) and field goals made (67). The Bronchos totals of 76 rebounds and 42 assists were also school marks. The win was the 10th in a row for the UCO squad, just four short of the school record 14 set in the 1963-64 season. It also
Wright is now averaging 30.3 points per game for the season and has 56 steals, an average of 3.5 per game. Tyler is averaging 19.4 points a contest and pulling down 12.9 boards. Leak and Morris are scoring 18.4 and 18.3 points a game respectively, while Morris is shooting .686 from the field. Spencer Wright is leading the team in assists dealing 5.1 per game totaling 82. The Bronchos are in action again Saturday when they host LSC rival Angelo State inside Broncho Field House at 8:00 p.m.

AMERICUS, Ga. (AR) — When black leaders here proposed naming a street after Martin Luther King Jr., the assistant fire chief suggested a section of the road be named for King's assassin. After a yearlong battle that also included death threats, demonstrations and a boycott of businessmen who didn't openly support the effort, a street has finally been renamed Mat- tin Luther King Boulevard.
For some blacks, the struggle dramatized how far they still have to travel on the road to equality — and what they can accomplish when they work together. "It has empowered people who have feltpowerless," said the Rev. Fer-Roll Malone, pas tor of the 133year-old Bethesda Baptist Church. Blacks are a slight majority in this southwestern Georgia town of 16,000, but some believed they had only token representation. Americus, about 10 miles east of Plains, former President Carter's hometown, has a history
of tense race relations. A black man was lynched in 1913 after being accused of killing a white sheriff, and the Ku Klux Klan controlled the the county from the 1920s to the 1950s, said Alan Anderson, a local historian. The street dispute began a year ago when the Martin Luther King Jr. Ministerial Association asked the City Council to name a road after King, who spent a night in jail here in 1961 after being arrested at a civil rights demonstration in Albany.

Malone and other black leaders believe the council acted only because of pressure from businesses hurt by the boycott. Black leaders surveyed abou t 600 businesses and published a list of supporters in December. With the battle over, the mayor has announced plans to appoint a 10-member community relations committee to help improve race relations.

council, which includes two blacks, never objected to naming a street after King but couldn't agree on which street. The council rejected Forsyth and Lamar streets, those first suggested by the ministers, because they were named for prominent families in the town's history. The council offered to rename Lee and Mayo streets in a predominantly black part of town, but the ministers said the street had to run through white and black sections.

Assistant Fire Chief Donnell Norton, 61, was demoted after telling a TV reporter that half the street should be named for King's assassin, James Earl Ray. A white businessman has started a legal defense fund for Norton.

"The churches are full of people on Sunday morning. You can think, 'Where is their Christianity?"'

in Eb Minor," Dussek's "Quintett, Op. 41 in h Minor" and Brahm's "Quartet, Op. in 6 Minor." "Chamber music is performed in a small space, " Magrill said. "It might be piano and a few strings. It's smaller than a large ensemble like a band but it's larger than a solo. The musicians have to listen to each other and work together." Magrill, an assistant professor of music at UCO, has received numerous awards and commissions from such organizations as the National Endowment for the Arts and the American Society of Composers, among others. A retrospective of his works, "Seven by Sam: Music of Sam Magrill, " was presented last year at UCO. Dr. Ralph Morris is a former member of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and has performed throughout Europe Volksoper and the Theater an der Wien. Theodora Morris, a native of Vienna, Austria, studied at the Hochschule fur Musik and played in the Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra in which she was featured as a soloist. Moore is a member of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic and has played with the Wichita Falls Philharmonic. He was featured as a soloist with the UCO Symphony Orchestra and teaches music in the Stillwater Public Schools. He is also an adjunct professor at UCO.

UCO joins Edmond in education By Roy Howe
Staff Writer
Based in part on last year's Legislative action, a pilot program beginning next fall will j see students from the University of Central Oklahoma's College of Education training to teach at Edmond's Central Middle School, formerly Central MidHigh. "It's going to be the first time students from the teaching college can really prepare to deal with middle grade students ages 10 through 14," said Sandra Brothers, director of student teaching. "It's really a first step in the state of Oklahoma."
Students from UCO's teacher preparation college are required to complete two 30-hour field trainings before attempting their 14-week student teaching. "We will be collaborating with the Edmond public schools and Central Middle School grades six through eight," Brothers said. "Hopefully after they complete this (field training at Central Middle School), they'll be ready to begin their student teaching which runs an entire semester," said Kenneth Elsner, dean of the college of education.

Somalian hopes for peace By Michele Soh Staff Writer
last week, U.S. Marines seized weapons ranging from antiaircraft guns to assault rifles from Somalia's biggest aims bazaar. The raid is an indication of the changing U.S. mission from guarding food shipments from bandits to seizing weapons, as requested by U.N. SecretaryGeneral Boutros Boutros-Ghali. "I think the belief that we can disarm Somalia is totally naive," said Marine Lt. Gen. Robert Johnston.
Famine-stricken Somalia is a country ruled by guns in the hands of warring tribes, looting bandits and private bodyguards. Last December, Operation Restore Hope sent United States troops to the east African nation of Somalia, to aid starving civilians, innocent victims of power-hungry dictators, a twoyear civil war and anarchy. Newly installed President Bill Clinton faces the problem of Somalia is awash in guns how to withdraw U.S. troops supplied by the former Soviet from Somalia as soon as Union and America during the possible.
