Youths arrested for vandalism spree EDMOND, Okla. (AP) — Police say two 16-year-old boys face juvenile misdemeanor complaints following a night of vandalism in which dozens of windows were shot out with a BB gun. "They started in the northwest and worked their way all over the city," Lt. Mike Wooldridge said. Wooldridge said police received about 50 complaints from Edmond residents in a four-hour period Sunday night. The vandalism caused between $5,000 and $10,000 damage, he said.
Feminists chastise Tubbs' show locale NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — University of Oklahoma President Richard Van Horn says he will encourage basketball coach Billy Tubbs to make different arrangements next year for his weekly radio show, but the university cannot interfere with an existing contract. Feminists had complained to the university because Tubbs does his weekly radio show from a restaurant that features chesty waitresses in skimpy outfits. Setting the talk show at Hooters in Oklahoma Ci ty is "unprofessional and it's sleazy," said Judith Lewis, a history professor and director of the school's women's studies program.
Aerospace giant to scrap 13,900 jobs HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — United Technologies Corp. announced Tuesday it will eliminate about 13,900 jobs and report a $1 billion loss for the year in a major restructuring. The job reductions amount to 7 percent of the aerospace giant's worldwide work force of 186,000. The company is eliminating 12 percent of its executive jobs. It said it would also close or consolidate more than 100 facilities worldwide.

Student senate rejects tuition payment bill By Sam Powell Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma's student senate took action Monday by swearing in new senators, observing Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and rejecting Resolution 91-201, a bill calling for the establishment of a tuition payment plan. The senate almost reached its 39 member limit when 13 new senators were approved, bringing the total number of members to 34. After being sworn in, two members, Larry Rogers and Todd Dealy, were appointed committee directors. Senate President Peter Regan said that Monday was a day to honor an individual who dedicated his life to promoting unity and equality among people. "Martin Luther King, through his peaceful protests, made a significant impact upon society, and I consider him an individual who was truly dedicated to a high purpose," Regan said. "As a direct result of his leadership this country has experienced meaningful changes," he said. Regan said he was reactivating the student senate's Race Relations Committee on
a permanent basis. The committee will serve as an avenue for students to voice concerns to other students, he said. "A primary function of the committee will be to promote racial harmony and cultural diversity at UCO," Regan said. Regan also commented on Resolution 91-202, a bill stating that the student association does not feel an earned doctorate should be a requirement for the office of university president. "There is dissension among the faculty concerning the requirement of an earned doctorate for the next president," he said. "It seems highly evident that students do not perceive an earned doctorate as a prerequisite." Regan said several members of the faculty had told him they do not feel an earned doctorate should be a requirement. Jason Campbell, student senate deputy speaker, said requiring an earned doctorate would be an insult to the entire student body. See Senate, page 3
Fortunately, when Susan Harlow got stuck in the Communications Building elevator last week, there were plenty of people around to hear her yell for help. But what if it had been a Friday night, when she was all alone? There are 13 operating elevators on the University of Central Oklahoma campus, nine of which have no emergency telephones. And some of which have no emergency lighting. Regulations do exist for elevator companies installing new elevators and for municipalities to govern local businesses' elevators. Both the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code and the Building Officials and Code Administrators Intl, Inc. Code dictate the standards for elevator operation in commercial buildings. And both mandate having a form of twoway communication and emergency lighting in elevators. Local building inspectors in most Oklahoma towns and cities annually inspect elevators under their jurisdiction, said Oklahoma City Chief Building Inspector Eddie Monarch. If they do not comply with the above codes, the inspector can shut the elevator down until improvements are made. But state-run buildings, such as UCO, are not regularly inspected by an outside party, nor are they required to maintain any type of standard, other than those they set themselves, said Monarch, and other state and local regulatory officials. UCO Head of Communications Harold Elston confirmed the lack of government regulations over UCO. "We have no requirements to provide for safety measures except what we decide for our own satisfaction and security," Elston said. Emergency telephones are a feature that UCO has installed in its elevators in the past, but each time the phones have been stolen, said Joyce Mounce, UCO vice president. Mounce has given authorization, however, to install what is called a "ringdown" telephone in all existing elevators, plus the elevators being built in Old North and the Home Economics Building. The "ringdown" telephone has no dial and a handset not adaptable to conventional telephones, so stealing it would be futile, Elston said. They will ring directly to campus police and the caller will have two minutes to communicate before the telephone goes dead.
Each telephone will cost about $125 each, not including wiring and installation, said Elston, who added that he will do the installation himself. "I would certainly hate to think there's a possibility of someone getting stuck in an elevator on a Friday night," Elston said, "and not be able to get out until the custodian gets there at 6 a.m. Monday morning."

For your sex life: Consult officials hose in power at the University of Central Oklahoma are considering enacting a policy which would allow them access to the bedrooms of faculty, staff and students at UCO, making it a violation for any figure of authority to have sex with any other person on this campus. "1984" has come at last. Presumably, the accusations of Anita Hill against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas and recent allegations of sexual harrassment leveled at two UCO faculty members have prompted administrators to devise a plan to regulate the sexual fraternization of UCO employees with supervisors, students and other faculty members. Not only would this insult the judgement and professionalism of staff members, it would infringe on their right to privacy. Where does policy end and just plain nosiness begin? The idea that administrators of UCO have the right or authority to regulate the sexual activity of anybody on this campus is supreme and utter idiocy. The very notion that administration has the right to dictate the sexual actions of any member of the campus populace contains Orwellian overtones. Instead of "Big Brother," we will have the Bedroom Police, who will be certain to tell us when the sexual behavior of mature adults oversteps the bounds of "appropriate sexual conduct." One of the first questions we should ask is; where exactly are all of these sexually inappropriate actions taking place? Two incidents of alleged sexual misconduct do not an orgy make. Secondly, if the policy is passed, how will it be enforced? What about the professor whose husband is taking her third hour class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday? And what administrative lackey will receive the unenviable duty of sexual monitor, destined to follow of-age employees into their bedrooms to ensure lewd and licentious acts are not occurring? Our esteemed administrators seem to be reacting to recent headlines with a Chicken Little attitude. Contrary to what they seem to believe, the sky is not falling. Administration must drop the entire idea of any type of sexual policy that would structure the sex life of the campus populace. We, as members of the UCO community, do not deserve the condescension and dictatorial attitude that the administration has deigned to adopt. The average age of a UCO student is 28 and parental authority ceased at the age of 18. Most of us grew up long ago and nobody asked or wanted UCO administrators to take on the role of mommy and daddy.

Prof calls for social justice n a free United States of America there are lingering signs of discrimination because of race, origin, color, culture, sex and religion. Outright underdevelopment is evident in all our major cities. In the 1980's old social problems have been recreated—a new loneliness, alienation, crime and poverty. Millions of "new poor" have been created out of the politics and economics of the 1980's. The elderly, the handicapped, the ethnic minorities have all become further disadvantaged and marginalized. These are the very injustices that Martin Luther King, Jr., stood up for and gave his life to redress. Injustices against migrants and refugees, against blacks, hispanics and women, range from unemployment and impoverished living conditions to human rights violations and torture. Those who suffer injustice are voiceless. We should speak in their behalf. Both Capitalism and Marxism
I
fail to address the problem. Both systems foster a strong tendency to treat human beings as mere instruments of production. In many cases, the urban poor are as bad off politically, economically and socially today as were the plantation slaves in the USA one hundred and fifty years ago. • Inequalities of income, consumption, privilege and power must be examined. • The poor and excluded need an investment of wealth, talent and energy and should be allowed active participation in the economy. • There is a dire need to actively create new jobs. The poor have a right to employment. • All barriers to equal employment should be removed, and training should be provided free of charge. The poor unemployed and underemployed should be supported through a reasonable training period. • The health-care system
should be re-evaluated to correct for fee ad price gouging and enable reasonable health care services for all citizens. • The justice system should be re-evaluated to ensure fairness and equity across the board and among all social classes. • Every American is entitled to an education at the level of their choosing and their ability to attain. In combatting social injustice we need to focus not only on political and economic action, but on personal, moral and ethical reformation as well. Everyone of us must model fairness, concern, good financial management and responsibility, and a sincere ethical investment in social life. To do otherwise makes us part of the problem, not part of the solution. —Dr. Richard P. Rettig

Think green, not mean his being an election year and all, one of the most upfront issues being directed by the silver-tongued politicians is the environment. And well it should be. The environment is one thing in this state that we do not have to pay for. It's free, it's ours and we're killing it. Now, we have done a lot to help the environment in the last decade, but there is still plenty more we can do. I am glad to say that UCO has made a start. Around the campus you can see several paper and aluminum can receptacles in different buildings. I applaud the administration to this beginning. You see, it has to be a beginning. There are so many different things that can be done. First things first, we need to get rid of the styrofoam. I know that certain styrofoams can be recycled. But, I have never heard of a styrofoam recycling plant in Oklahoma. It would be better to re-
place the styrofoam cups that many offices use with the heavy paper cups that are used in the vending machines. The Biology Club has put up receptacles (What can I say? I like the word.) for aluminum cans. And I think that's great. But if you ever visit New York state or a national park, you would find that they charge a five-cent deposit on all aluminum cans. And to expediate the process of recycling, they have machines that will take the can and give back the deposit. Neat idea, huh? I bet our governor would seriously think about it if we all wrote in to demand such a program. Glass. Glass is another thing that can and should be recycled, but seldom is. It would be nice to have a receptacle for those, also. Plastic. Despite what you've heard, plastic is hard to recycle. The substance can be re-used, but the same amount of chemicals are used again to mold the shape, making just as much damage as it
did to begin with. Have the book-
stores use paper bags instead of the plastic ones. These were some suggestions. I'd like to applaud the Biology club for doing what they've done (planting trees, recycling aluminum, etc.) I'd also like to suggest to everyone to consider carpooling. Not only does it save gas, it reduces pollution. Remember, it's a great start, but each of us has got to do our part to heal this planet of ours. A few more ideas before I go. When you buy paper or any other recyclable products, buy those already recycled to show your support. Write your congressman, governor, president or whomever and urge them to get serious about laws on recycling. Also, most of this information came from a book called "The Recycler's Handbook." You can pick it up at Waldenbooks. Peace, folks T. A. Clark UCO student —

"I think it's a slap in the face for our faculty to tell us that someone who graduates from our university is not qualified to run it," Campbell said. "Our university does not offer an earned doctorate." Dealy introduced the tuition payment bill, Resolution 91-201, saying it had become necessary for most of today's students.

lieved a payment plan was a good idea, but several wanted to see more research on the project. One senator expressed fear: that implementing a payment plan would further strain a system already mired in red tape. The proposal failed by a vote of 11-6, and was returned to committee for further research. Five proposals had been scheduled on the senate agenda, but only the tuition proposal was acted upon. Four other proposals were returned to committee: • Resolution 91-202, states that an earned doctorate should not be a requirement for the next UCO president. • Resolution 91-203, would request the university to establish a bad weather policy. • Resolution 91-204, would amend the student association constitution requirement that all student government officers maintain a 2.5 grade point average, to one requiring all officers maintair_, a 2.0 GPA. • Resolution 91-205, would amend the student association constitution by changing the number of elections held from one each semester to one each year.

U.S. journey costly 'affair' for Asians
Student challenges able-bodied officials By Audra Frantz Guest Writer For many, Feb. 23, 1990 is not significant. However, for University of Central Oklahoma student, Scott Tarrant, it was the day that changed the rest of his life: A motorcycle accident left him paraplegic. "It didn't really sink in that I was paralyzed until the doctor stuck a tube through my side, without using anesthesia, and I didn't feel it," he said. From that moment on, Tarrant's life would never be the same. After a month in the hospital and six weeks at the O'Donoghue Rehabilitation Institute in Oklahoma City, he moved into subsidized housing. Now he lives in a dormitory on the UCO campus. Tarrant is a junior majoring in special education with a focus on learning disabilities. He is also president of the Horizons Club, an organization primarily focused on the disabled. As club president, Tarrant has begun his mission to improve the way for those who are mobility impaired. On Dec. 11, 1991, UCO hosted reporters, photographers and cameramen from Channel 5, "The Daily Oklahoman" and "The Edmond Sun" as Tarrant decided to show, instead of tell, the UCO administration what problems the handicapped face. That day, Nick Widener, executive assistant for special projects, and Don Powers, physical plant director, were issued wheelchairs. That morning they were living the life of a disabled student. "We felt it was the best way to get a feel for what the handicapped students needed. You can talk about it all day long but until you experience it, you don't really know," Powers said. Experience it they did. With Tarrant as their guide, the two men faced obstacles encountered while going to class, getting food and taking a trip to the restroom. "We found out there's not as good of access across the campus as we thought and that many areas, like the restrooms, doors, ramps, etc...need to be examined and improved," Powers said. Improvements already being attended to at UCO include the installation of approximately 29 automatic doors and elevators in two buildings, relocation of a few
handicapped parking places and adjustments to curb cuts and sidewalks. Over $200,000 has been spent this year on such improvements. While that may seem like a lot to someone who is not disabled, Tarrant said the cost benefits everyone, because a person never knows when he could end up in the same situation, whether for life or temporarily: from a broken leg or sprained ankle. The men didn't just see the physical side, however. They also obtained a glimpse of the psychological aspect of being handicapped. People's attitudes towards the handicapped is something the disabled are constantly confronted with and for many the physical obstacles are much easier. "I'm finding that physical barriers aren't as hard to overcome as attitude barriers," Tarrant said. V

Campus radio, TV stations increase air time, newscasts for students By Kelly Flanagan Student Writer A jump in news air time is underway at both University of Central Oklahoma electronic media outlets, according to station officials. KBLZ, UCO's cable radio station, has increased their news load from two four-minute spots a day to six four-minute spots a day, while television station KCSU is adding Monday to their schedule of nightly 30-minute newscasts. Both faculty supervisors, KBLZ's Keith Swezey and KCSU News Director Jerry Howard, said the changes will increase student participation, but this advantage was not the reason for the change at KCSU.
"We were going Tuesday through Friday last semester, only leaving out Monday because another class was using the studio that day," Howard said. "We increased the news time to give more students a chance to get on the air," Swezey said. "This gives them an outlet they cannot get at any other university in the state." Howard added that the increased workload for his students makes the newscasts "sharper and more professional." Swezey said the student-run radio station is not only accessible to students, but also to musicians. "Most mainline stations are so tightly formatted that they only play what people have heard of," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're good. If they haven't heard
of you, you're not on the air." "A lot of bands first get their exposure by sending their work to college stations," Swezey added. This exposure is increased when KBLZ mails a periodic report to publications such as Bill-
board, The College Music Journal and Radio and Records. CMJprovides a list in which the station can list their top 35 songs, top five songs and "Adventure Picks," which is where the new groups and their songs apply. V
The University of Central Oklahoma's South Asian Student Association held its elections last semester. Elected as President was Shakeel Khader; Vice-President, Asim Abrar, General Secretary, Syed Mukhtar Gillani; Public Relations Officer, Shahed Shafi. The organization represents students from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Khader said. "It's basically a service organization," Khader said. Whenever a student from one of the represented countries enrolls at UCO, the association immediately begins correspondence to prepare them for moving to the United States, Khader said. Because of high health care costs in the U.S., international students are encouraged to take care of any foreseeable health needs before leaving their country, Khader said. "Coming to America is an expensive affair," Khader said. The cost of the move, a weak money exchange rate and a higher tuition make the transition difficult for many international students, Khader said. Khader said the association also instructs the men to learn how to cook before leaving their countries. In their culture, women do most of the cooking. Aside from providing support, they also encourage the students to bring traditional costumes and "handicrafts" in order to participate in the International Night Culture Show held every year at UCO, Khader said.

Search begins for 5 new business profs
culture seminar By Roger Groce Staff Writer
By Allen Norbury Student Writer The search has begun for five new faculty members in the University of Central Oklahoma's College of Business for the 1992 fall semester. "We are currently seeking to hire five faculty positions that closed Jan. 13 and we are beginning the search committee process Jan. 20," said Dr. Frank Wert, dean of the college of business. The positions to be filled are in the areas of marketing, finance, decision sciences, and business communications. "That's the first round we call phase one, and we expect to have a phase two beginning in the early part of the 1993 spring semester," Wert said. Wert said the second phase will occur after the college reconsiders the needs of the different programs. "When we make a decision to seek a new faculty member, it may be caused by different reasons. A faculty member may retire or there may be a need to replace a faculty member. In all cases in making those assignments, we take into consideration the needs of programs to fulfill students demands," Wert said. "All the positions we hope to fill are at an assistant professor level. We would like to hire new faculty with a doctorate in their required business field," Wert said. "We prefer faculty who have teaching experience, and actually have had business and industry experience, we prefer a mixture of both," Wert said. "Although we aren't always able to get all the characteristics that we want, our big emphasis is on good classroom teaching and the contribution that the individual can make to the discipline," Wert said. Wert also said the college is interested in good teachers, good researchers and people who make positive service contributions to the university. V

Freshman accepts music award By Barbara Dewailley Guest Writer Alicia Mears, a University of Central Oklahoma freshman, was recently awarded the 1991-92 Henry F. Foth Scholarship for proficiency in vocal music. "I'm very excited about the scholarship," Mears said. "I can have funds for school and make it easier on my parents at the same time." In addition to her studies at UCO, and the continuation of private voice lessons, Mears said she finds the time to also model for Dilliard's Department Store. Mears said she plans to get her bachelor's degree at UCO, then complete a master's degree, and
possibly a doctorate. Her ultimate goal is to become a music teacher, she said. "This is the first time the Foth Scholarship has been given to a college student. Previously, it was awarded to high school students, but they seemed to have trouble passing the theory test," Mears said. "Henry Foth, for whom the scholarship is named, was the music coordinator for the Oklahoma City Public Schools for many years," said Jean Amick, secretary for the Foth Scholarship Foundation. Foth's friends proposed naming a scholarship for him, Amick said. "He was delighted and even helped us draft it," she said. The Foth Scholarship Commit-

The University of Central Oklahoma Department of Foreign Language will offer an evening seminar on the Maya and Aztec Indian cultures this spring. Ann Phillips, chairperson and professor for the foreign language department, will teach the course every Thursday, from 5:30 to 7:20 p.m. "Each group's evolution in what are now areas of Mexico and Central America will be covered," Phillips said. "Every time we're teaching language we're kind of teaching culture, and every time we're teaching culture we're kind of teaching language," she said. Evidence of the Mayan and Aztec cultures is still evident in Mexico's estimated 1,100 ruins, Phillips said. During the course, Phillips will also discuss the Indian cultures of ancient times, including ball parks and Aztec and Mayan games dating to before the time of Christ, she said. Phillips said every year she leads a trip to Central America for intensive study of the ancient Indian cultures. The next trip is planned for the Mayan ruins at Copan, Honduras

Jinx lifted in wild finish Morris' last-second tip falls; Bronchos escape, 83-82 3-point attempt with three seconds left, leaving Morris to perform the heroics.
By Justin Harper
Sports Editor West Texas State finally met its match from a Central Oklahoma men's basketball team. James Morris' tip in with 1.1 seconds left gave Central Oklahoma a thrilling 83-82 victory over the rival Buffaloes Monday night in Broncho Field House. The win snapped a seven game losing streak to the Buffaloes, dating back to the 1988-89 season, and sparked a pandemonious celebration of UCO players and fans of 800 plus who poured onto the court to revile in the Bronchos 13th win of the season and 14th straight at home. WTSU held a lead of 82-81 with 11 seconds to go and guard Andre Brown at the free throw line for a one-and-one opportunity. Brown couldn't convert and Morris snatched his game high 12th rebound and stormed upcourt where he dished off to Chargles Craine, who hit only iron on his 22-foot
Hopeful Pioneers can't tame wild Lady Bronchos By Bill Kramer

Central Oklahoma's Kim Martin and Jana Flanagan each conveted clutch free throws in the final minute, and Texas Woman's University's Michelle Biffle missed two of three free shots with time expired, allowing the Lady Bronchos to escape with a 71-70 victory' Monday in thrilling women's basketball action at Broncho Field House. UCO, now 8-5 overall and 3-0 in the Lone Star Conference (tied with Abilene Christian for the lead), has won three straight games and six of its last seven. Down 23-21 with 6:20 left in the first half, the Lady Bronchos went on a 12-0 run, which elevated them to a 33-23 lead with 4:40 to play. UCO maintained the margin of 10 at the half, up 41-31. TWU, now 2-10 and 0-2, rallied to take a 56-55 lead on a pair of free throws with 8:15 remaining in the game. Martin canned two free throws to tie the score at 69 apiece with 40 seconds left, and Flanagan followed with a pir of charities with six seconds to go. UCO seemed assured of a win with a 71-69 advantage, but Flanagan fouled Biffle on her 3-point attempt, sending the Pioneer to the line for three free shots. Biffle made the first but missed the last two, allowing the Lady Bronchos to equal thier best league start since the 1988-89 season. V
Robinson added 13 points and Adrian Sanders provided a defensive lift with eight rebounds and three blocks in only 12 minutes of play. The statistics were virtually even in every category. At the half the Buffaloes held a one point lead 42-41, with both teams shooting 50 percent or better. The biggest lead of the game came in the first half when the Bronchos held a 23-14 lead with a little more than four minutes into the contest. The lead changed hands 10 times over the course of the game.
And he did as he has in the past. Just a year ago, Morris earned Lone Star Conference Newcomer of the Year honors. This week, after averaging 17.2 points and 9.2 rebounds in his last five games, Morris was named LSC Player of the Week. Teammate Alex Wright continued to shine, scoring 22 points in 22 minutes of action. Shawn

King honored, burnt cross found OKLAHOMA CITY—Hundreds of Oklahomans marched to the State Capitol in Oklahoma City Monday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and reaffirm their commitment to his message. The rally was the latest in a series of candlelight vigils and rallies planned in cities across the state. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City firefighter investigators were examining the charred remains of a cross that was burned at the intersection of Interstate 44 and Martin Luther King Boulevard in northeast Oklahoma City. Li Bill King of the Oklahoma City Police Department said an Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer found the burned cross about 7:30 a.m. in a grassy area at the intersection. The rallies and vigils began Sunday. "He bled and he died for us on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel," the Rev. Lawrence Lakey told a packed Tulsa church Sunday evening. "That blood will be wasted if we do not pick up the cross." Events were scheduled statewide Sunday and Monday in observance of the King holiday. The day commemorates the Jan. 15, 1929, birthday of the civil-rights leader, assassinated April 4, 1969, in Memphis, Tenn. Students and teachers at Oklahoma S tate University in Stillwater planned a candlelight march for peace and nonviolence, followed by a program and reception. A King birthday reception was scheduled at the University of Oklahoma, followed by a candlelight vigil on the campus south oval. King's birthday was designated a state holiday in 1985.
Car deal called target, not promise TOKYO (AP) — Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa and the chairman of Toyota Motor Corp. said Monday that Japan had made no commitment to buy U.S. autos and parts during President Bush's trade summit. Miyazawa and Toyota Chairman Eiji Toyoda sought to dispel expectations that Japan was bound to meet auto purchasing targets set Jan. 9, when Japanese negotiators agreed to trade concessions to help relieve the U.S. recession. Miyazawa told NHK television the summit announcement that Japanese auto makers would try to import nearly 20,000 Big Three vehicles and $19 million more in auto parts was "a target rather than a firm promise." Toyoda, chief of Japan's largest auto maker, told reporters in a separate interview that Toyota "will study and consider the possibility of selling GM cars. It is too much to say we will actually sell them," During the four-day summit that ended Jan. 10, Toyota announced it was setting a target of selling up to 5,000 General Motors vehicles a year through its dealerships. Japan's other four major auto makers — Nissan, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi — separately set targets totaling 15,000 more vehicles. But in the aftermath of a chilly meeting with their U.S. counterparts, the so-called Big Five expressed doubts about whether Japanese consumers will buy U.S. cars. Some critics said the administration lost face and betrayed its free trade principles by demanding Japanese auto makers help their weakened Big Three competitors.
