The Student Voice Since 1903

22 years of 'Roe v. Wade'

By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer Pro-life and pro-choice activists have condemned the violence against abortion clinics across the country, which has called into question the credibility of the pro-life movement.

UCO student Alan West said the violence was self-defeating.

"It's counterproductive and congeals public opinion against (it)," said the computer science major.

On Sunday, both sides staged rallies to

Local pro- and anti-abortion activists agree the current dissension could be less violent mark the 22nd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that gave women the constitutional right to abortions.

The 1973 ruling split the nation and nurtured a hostility that led to several acts of violence against abortion clinics and their staff.

At least two activists in Norfolk, Va., signed a petition justifying lethal force, cit-

became the latest victims of the violence.

Their assassinations came in the wake of Paul Hill's trial for the homicide of a doctor outside a Florida abortion clinic.

Many blarrie the "fringe element" of the anti-abortion movement for the surge in vio-

ing the lives of unborn children as their defense.

"These radicals are motivated by what they believe to be right, but they are substantially misguided," said West.

Connie, who declined to give her last name, said, "These people don't think with their heads."

Connie is a medical assistant at Choice For Women, an abortion clinic in Oklahoma.

"Most of them are men—what do they know? Ask them to ask their wives!"

Campus changes spur curiosity among students, staff & faculty

Update on construction UCO's Student Government Association (SGA) is bringing in the new semester with three major projects, Despite being plagued by internal conflict last tall SGA President Ben Harris said the organization is now prepared to serve UCO students better.

H irris said SGA plans to use the $23,000 from student activities fees and the $3,000 atloted by President George Nigh to improve services for UCO students. These services include de-regula tion Of parking, electronic voting machines and a more accessible SGA office.

In two and a half years, however, the exterior of our campus could give many schools something to talk about.

Students needlessly put in danger during inclement weather Temporarily disabled is what many UCO students are calling themselves after coming to school Monday and having to slip-slide to early-morning classes when a snowstorm left our campus an obstacle course of ice and snow.

The UCO police department reported only two injuries—a bruised arm and a twisted knee—but many, many more were not reported by students.

"When I slipped I went under a car," UCO student Iris Knight said. "I've now had my back worked on twice, my right thigh is bruised and I have a skinned knee.

"I had muscle trauma, and my spine was knocked out... I was out of school and work for two days.

"I'm going to be walking like an old lady for a while," said Knight.

Another student reported to The Vista falling twice on her way to one class, and a teacher told her classes of a broken arm and a broken leg suffered by two students on their way to an 8:40 a.m. class. Angry calls were made all afternoon to The Vista office, curious why administration had "let them down."

Literally countless injuries occurred on the UCO campus Monday morning.

The main problem, however, is that the campus should have done something to help prevent these accidents. While campus administrators cannot (and do not claim to) protect everybody, they still choose to hold class—primarily because they will lose funding if they don't. This puts student's grades in direct jeopardy if they choose not to risk going to school.

But for days after deciding to hold class at a college full of commuters, the administration loses many more students due to injury—but they still get their funding for holding classes.

The campus was clear Sunday, and workers could have put sand or salt down before everything refroze Sunday night. The workers could have even come out and done it (especially in the parking lots) early Monday. They didn't even attempt to pull out shovels to clear the snow and ice Monday.

Instead, they dispatched police and tow trucks to remove the damage after students started colliding with each other and the icy pavement.

Many took the absence of consideration as a snort down administrative noses toward the students, faculty and staff.

A call to UCO President George Nigh from the friendly neighborhood tort lawyer might just be in order. We'll check it out.

am writing in regard to the lack of exercise equipment and facilities the university maintains for its students. The Vista seems to be the only forum for the student to express concerns and grievances with the university and its operations.

I recently injured my knee and need to continue a rigorous regime of physical therapy.

Joining a health club would be appropriate, but the University has all the necessary equipment for physical activities.

This equipment, I assume, is purchased and maintained with student activity fees (for which I paid at least $60 this semester). I checked before the semester started for the times for the open recreation available for students.

I arrived to work out today at the Broncho Field House to find that the university football team ' has commandeered the Open

Recreation time for their spring training. The football team will have control of the weight toom until spring break.

In need of a stationary exercise bicycle I went to the suggested location at Wantland Hall. There, I found three exercise bikes all in a state of disrepair.

The swimming pool at Broncho Field house has posted hours for open recreational and lap swimming. Swimming is perhaps the best low-impact exercise next to walking.

After changing and showering for a swim I was notified by a coach that the pool was not really open and would not be open for student recreational use until January 27. To say the least, I was not pleased.

We are a university dedicated to the betterment of the individual and to society as a whole, yet we are not provided with the

proper facilities or equipment to maximize our bodies as well as our minds.

With all the improvements and renovations plaguing our university, I wonder what funds are being appropriated for the betterment of the school's physical education department.

An interesting side note here is the gym floor in Wantland Hall.

A leak in the roof has caused permanent damage to the basketball court floor. The university lets a leaky roof, which is relatively easy and inexpensive to fix, destroy a floor that is expensive and time consuming to replace.

Thank you and may you be healthy in the four ways that you are: physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual.

Student appreciates 'second chance' ou may not enroll or return to college. That was what I read in the mail from UCO. And with a GPA close to a negative number (0.07) who could blame them? For two semesters in a row I enrolled in classes and then just quit going. I spent my time socializing in the student union and worrying about which parties I was going to on the weekend. Education was the last thing on my mind.

I was every parent's nightmare— especially mine since my father had done his share of teaching English and journalism at Tulsa University. I could not return to school so what next?

Luckily I got into a medical laboratory technician program which was just being formed. They needed one more student and fortunately did not have time to look at my grades. I did well in the 12 month program and worked over eight years first in hospitals then in a private clinical lab.

College seemed like eons in the distant past. It was at this time I recall first regretting how I would never have a chance to finish college. After the birth of my first two children I quit work-

ing except to fill in occasionally.

Three years ago I had the opportunity to go back to UCO. I have always stressed to my four children the importance of education.

By impressing upon them the fact that they are fortunate to be able to go to good schools, I rekindled the urge to resume my own education.

Learning is the growth of thought and spirit which continues on even after school is finished—merely through our experiences in life.

But formal education is a privilege that is often not appreciated until leaving school for a while. I realized I wanted the structure and discipline college demands. I left the enrollment office line three times before I had the nerve to stay in that line and complete the enrolling procedure.

Doubts about my abilities kept coming to mind. If I could not do the work what would everyone think? Why should I even bother with college when my life was already hectic? And THEY (those people in the enrollment office) would see my grades which no one knew about, not even my family!

Now after three years of nearly all A's at UCO I know I am capa-

ble of learning. After every semester of my first two years I would receive grades of all A's in the mail and the next day a letter from the enrollment office which stated that I was still on probation and could continue only if I maintained a C average or better.

That kept me humble!

It took a lot of semesters (going part time) of As to offset twentyfive hours of F and WF! Grades from many years ago were haunting me. Soon I will graduate from UCO with a BS in Allied Health Education and a minor in psychology, and now I know I want to teach.

Learning is important but giving back to society what has been gained from education is equally important. Until recently I never thought I could be a teacher.

Since the beginning of this new semester I have grown to realize that teaching is the way I can be the most useful. Who knows, maybe I can inspire a student who does not want to learn or show someone that no matter how bad the grades-there is hope.

Hefty sentence given to pizza thief

First aid courses to be offered in conjunction with Red Cross

By Elizabeth Hew

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) — A man convicted of stealing a slice of pizza from a group of children faces 25 years to life in prison under the state's "three strikes" law.

Jerry Williams. 27, testified that he took the pepperoni pizza last July after a companion asked the children for it and some of them nodded their heads - yes.'

Williams has four previous convictions for various crimes, including two for robbery and attempted robbery, that make him eligible for the 25-year-to-life sentence contained in the "three strikes" law that took effect last year.

Attempted murderer to wed victim ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — A woman plans to marry the man accused of repeatedly stabbing her and breaking her arms with a hammer in an attempted murder.

Crystal Nicole Hutchins, 20, and Brandon Hampson, 23, the son of a sheriff's deputy, applied for a marriage certificate this month. Hampson is charged with attempted second-degree murder in the assault.

Hutchins was repeatedly stabbed with a screwdriver Oct. 19 in the home the two shared. Her hands and arms were broken with a hammer.

"He tried to stab my heart, but I moved and he got higher up," she told authorities at the time. "I pretended to be dead."

She also told police that Hampson kept saying "die" during the attack. Hutchins said she believed Hampson attacked her because she did not want to live with him any more.

Photos may prove em-bare-assing NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — The Smithsonian Institution is putting the wraps on a collection of photos that show generations of the best and the brightest at their barest.

The frontal and profile "posture" photos were taken beginning in the early 1900s as part of physical education classes. Later they were taken by W.H. Sheldon, a researcher examining the relationship between body shape and intelligence.

Among those who would have been subject to the ritual were President Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Diane Sawyer_ It is not known if their photos are at the Smithsonian, which has never displayed the pictures.

Previously, the photos could be seen by students and researchers only. The pictures will be off-limits to the public pending an internal investigation of how the Smithsonian acquired the photos and whether it has rights to them.

Woman leaves post-mortem mark GARY, Ind. (AP) — Maria Rodriguez, a 40-year-old nurse, was so fearful of one day being put on life support, she had a living will tattooed on her stomach.

The red and black tattoo features a red heart slashed with the universal "no" sign and the words "No Code." The will reads: "Pain and comfort only. Organ donor." It ends with her initials, "M.R." Rodriguez said the 'No Code' instructs hospital and ambulance workers not to resuscitate her or keep her alive by artificial means.

The will, however, may not be legally binding.

Indiana's living will statute requires the will to be dated and signed by the person writing it and two witnesses. Although her will doesn't meet those requirements, Rodriguez said she hopes it is respected.

Another quake; this time Indonesia JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.1 hit Sumba island on the southern edge of the Indonesian archipelago Saturday.

There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

The quake struck at 4:10 a.m. (7:10 p.m. EST Friday), jolting the town of Waipangu on Sumba Island, about 1,000 miles east of Jakarta, said Sariman, a government spokesman.

The quake was centered under the Savu sea east of Sumba, said Sariman, who uses only one name.

On Thursday, a quake of magnitude 4.3 hit the town of Maumere on Flores Island, northeast of Sumba.

Staff Writer UCO courses in emergency care may not be the best bargain for some students on campus.

Students have an option to taking a semester-long first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) course at UCO and earning three credit hours, or taking it at the Oklahoma County American Red Cross in one day for a lower cost.

Both courses award a certificate upon completion.

The first aid and CPR class offered at UCO provides students with knowledge and practical experience in the emergency care of injuries and sudden illness, said Bill Massey, UCO's assistant football coach. CPR for adult, children, and infant victims is also included.

Students will be taught the content of American Red Cross standards and will be given cer-

tificates when satisfactorily completed, said Massey.

The certificate for CPR is valid for a year while the certificate for first aid is valid for four years.

"The difference in taking the course at UCO is the number of students in each class," said Massey. "Due to the size of the classes, practical sessions take a longer time to complete."

Similar health and safety courses offered by the Oklahoma County American Red Cross include the Red Cross Standard First Aid class, which provides basic first-aid training with adult CPR. Also offered, the Red Cross Community CPR teaches rescue breathing, obstructed airway procedures for choking, and CPR for adult, children and infant victims.

These courses cost $30 each, and last for seven hours. Classes are limited to four or five students.

The Red Cross Adult CPR, also offered by the American Red Cross, teaches rescue breathing, obstructed airway procedures and CPR for adult victims, but does not teach first aid.

This course lasts four hours and costs $25.

For those who want to learn a little bit of ;t all the Red Cross Community First Aid and Safety course is also offered.

The nine-hour course costs $35.

Nursing students are required to complete this course at the campus for graduation.

Other courses offered by the American Red Cross include the Protect Your Back course, the ABCs of HIV Disease, Basic Life Training and several disaster services training courses.

ROE V. WADE continued from front page "Let's close the clinics for three months and see how many women would die without legal and safe abortions," she said.

Legislation against clinic-related violence failed to take its desired effect.

In May 1994, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act became law, making it a federal offense to obstruct, threaten, hurt or kill a person associated with clinics that provide abortions.

A month later, the Supreme Court ensured easy access to and from abortion clinics by ruling that an enforced buffer zone around them was legal.

Yet from Jan. 1993 to Aug. 1994, abortion facilities reported 11 incidents of arson, 12 acts of

"It's up to the woman to decide what she wants to do with her body," said Rupert.

Tony Lauinger, state chairman of the Tulsa-based pro-life organization, Oklahomans For

Life, said he opposed the kind of violence the extremists advocate.

Lauinger said most mainstream pro-life organizations like Life "unequivocally" condemned what President Clinton has called "urban terrorism."

He said Life believed in "lawful, peaceful and legal" methods of demonstrating their beliefs.

The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is planning to implement on the UCO campus wht they learned in a three-day conference at Texas A&M earlier this semester.

RHA President Chris Bruehl said the association is currently working on ways to run the residence halls meetings and plan fundraisers for the semester.

"RHA is planning a cookout some time in late March or early April, if the weather permits. All three halls will be participating," said Bruehl.

An egg-hunt for underprivi-

leged children in April, just before Easter, is also in the works.

"The halls will be going through a series of improvements on its furniture and so on," said Bruehl. "We're trying

to promote high spirits and interaction among the residents."

Also scheduled is a one-day conference with residence halls at the University of Tulsa regarding ideas for campus activities and ways to improve the RHA.

UCO outraces Greyhounds for 10th win

By Mike Erwin Sports Editor

The Central Oklahoma men's basketball team won their second straight Lone Star Conference road game Monday night, beating Eastern New Mexico 88-70.

The Bronchos fell behind early when ENMU's Mack Brown hit a three-pointer to cap an 8-0 run as the Greyhounds opened up a 15-9 lead at 15:35.

UCO responded with an 8-0 spurt on six points from Al Segova and a layup from Junie Sanders.

The Greyhounds managed to tie the score three more times before UCO grabbed the lead for good with 8:58 remaining in the first half on another layup by Sanders.

UCO took control of the game with a 13-0 run to build a 39-25 advantage at 3:48 and eventually went to the locker room leading 46-35 at halftime.

The Bronchos' advantage swelled to 19 points when junior guard Scott Sanders nailed a three-pointer to make it 72-53 with 10:48 left in the game.

The closest ENMU could get after that was 14, but the Bronchos built the lead back to

UCO to host wrestling showdown Division I powers. UCO lost to Iowa St. 20-15 and to Penn St. 26-12. They defeated defending NAIA champion Western Montana 31-9.

"At the NWCA it was a case where I felt that some of our individuals did not compete up to their potential and that was the most disappointing," said James.

"It's one thing to get beat because someone is better, but it's another thing entirely to get beat because you're not doing what you need to do to win."

James said that the level of competition might have intimidated some of his wrestlers.

"We're talking about some of the best teams in the country (at the NWCA) and to go out and beat them you're going to have to perform extremely well," said James. "Some of our wrestlers responded to the challenge and some didn't. That's what disappoints me the most because we had our opportunities."

Injuries also hurt UCO at the NWCA as the Bronchos were without defending national champion Jerry Best at 142

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer Saturday, the top-rated Central Oklahoma wrestling squad will get an opportunity to show why they have perennially been the elite of Division II wrestling when they host the NCAA Division II Showdown Duals at Hamilton Field House beginning at 9 a.m.

The Duals will feature 13 top Division II wrestling teams. Ten of those 13 are nationally ranked. UCO, three-time defending national champions and the tournament's top seed will receive a bye in the first round and will face the winner of the Portland State - Southern a Colorado match beginning at 11 a.m. Southern Colorado is ranked 16th while Portland St. is ranked 20th.

"They both have traditionally strong programs," said UCO Head Coach David James of his two possible opponents.

"Portland St. hasn't been as strong as they were in '90 when

Broncho grapplers Keith Kizarr and Mike Keim practice Monday in preparation for the NCAA Division ll Showdown Duals. No. 1-ranked UCO is the defending champion of the tournament. (Staff photo by Christopher Smith)

they beat us for the NCAA II title, but I'm expecting them to wrestle tough."

"Southern Colorado is well coached and a real solid program so either way we'll be facing a quality team," he said.

The Bronchos (4-2-1) are fresh off from facing quality teams, having just competed in the National Wrestling Coaches Association National Duals in Lincoln, Neb. UCO went 1-2 in a tournament dominated by

because of a broken nose that he sustained before the Southern Illinois-Edwardsville tournament. Best will not be able to compete this weekend.

"Best definitely won't wrestle for us," said James. "However, I have full confidence in Ryan Vratil who has done an outstanding job wrestling behind Best."

Vratil, 20-11, defeated the defending NAIA national champion at 142 against Western Montana at the NWCA. Mark Cunningham at 158 saw limited action at the NWCA because of a lingering ankle injury. He wrestled against Iowa St. and Western Montana but sat out of the Penn St. dual. He should compete this weekend even though he is not 100 percent.

"We'll put him out there and see how well he can go on that ankle," said James. "With Best out, we're going to need Cunningham in there to offset the loss. We'll evaluate Cunningham match-by-match, but he's definitely not 100 percent." 4.4E1

UCO band drops 'bomb' on music club

By John Clanton

Staff Writer

Student Jacob Staggs plays his guitar with the band Vicious Circle. (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith)

Vicious Circle, a talented group of young musicians, took the stage at the H-Bomb Diner Saturday night.

The Edmond band consists of high school students Kyle Martin on drums, Phil Green on rhythm guitar, Kyle Granger on bass, former UCO student Ryan Bellgardt on keyboards and vocals, and UCO student Jacob Staggs on lead guitar.

Introduced as "a real crowd pleaser," Vicious Circle played 12 fast-paced, thrilling songs.

The excited crowd, ranging from college age to high school and junior high students, packed into a crowded room, usually frequented by sporadic and shortlived mosh pits.

Vicious Circle plays well together as a group.

Through several technical difficulties, including a momentary black-out and excited, dancing guitarist Phil Green nearly jumping through the stage, the band kept their act going without a hitch.

Their songs, written by Circle, with lyrics by Bellgardt and Green, were well thought out and original.

During the show, every member of the band was featured, with drum, bass, guitar and keyboard solos.

However, by combining string-bending funk, fast-paced finger work and a wah-wah pedal, lead guitarist Jacob Staggs takes center stage during his solo sections.

Masterfully combining funk, hard rock and lyrics that beautifully compliment the song, Vicious Circle is a show-stopper worthy of note.

Today is the deadline for registration for the Focus on Faculty conference sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

Guest speakers will address important issues of both faculty and administrators with a panelled question and answer session following each topic.

The conference is divided into three sessions and will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 27 at the Moore-Norman Vo-Tech Center, Seminar Center, Room D. The $20 conference fee includes lunch and is open to the public.

For further information, call the State Regents' office at 5249120.

Computers: The final frontier?

Students realize the impact that technology holds on their future in their career field This is the conclusion of a three-part depth story exploring the technological advances in education.

Where students stand in the job market after college With the evolution of today's technology, employers are now pursuing college graduates with computer skills and the ability to adapt to new programs, said Kathryn Gage, director of the career developmental and placement office at UCO. "Right off the bat, I find it hard to think of any profession that isn't using computers in some capacity," said Gage. "I think the days when only the people in science and technological areas use computers are over. Those of us who have backgrounds in liberal arts, social science or education need to adapt to computers also."

Some say students can't be taught fast enough.

"The technology is changing so fast that even if students know the latest information, in a few year's time that same information may be obsolete," said Stephanie Denis, recruiting director for Met Life.

Gage said that adaptability is a high priority among the employers that contact her office.

"Surprisingly, a lot of them tell me...they want students to know certain computer languages. But the main thing they want is people that are openminded, receptive—quick learners that can go with the flow.

"To me, that means that employees must be able to roll with the changes," she said.

Chris Jones, multi-media curriculum specialist at UCO, agrees.

• "Students need the skills to adapt to change. What we need

to avoid is teaching them specific applications. Employers

want people who can come in and adapt to their system," he said.

However, Gage said a problem is that many students lack any computer skills.

"We get a lot of students up here saying, 'I don't know how to type my resume on this computer.'

"I'm wondering how these people are going to be able to write correspondence, or how they are going to be able to write their annual reports to their supervisors. How will they do memos?

"The reason that technology is the key is that you have to be able to communicate adeptly in most lines of business," said Gage.

• Gage recommends that students take a few computer courses to familiarize themselves with the computer and various software programs.

She also recommends that students mention their computer skills on their resumes.

"I think if I were a college student today that I would feel good if I had taken the time to take a lab or a class during intersession to learn the basics of computers," said Gage.

Among those basics are Windows, said Keith Gage, programming analyst for the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

Ruth Ann Hardesty, personnel manager at Federal Reserve Bank, said, "All new PCs come with windows. I'd also recommend a knowledge of Lotus 1, 2, 3 and Word Perfect and, basically, to be computer literate," she said.

However, students entering the job market will still need traits like leadership and hard work along with impressive grades and school activities, Hardesty said.

Where UCO stands technologically UCO may not be steps ahead of the rest of the country in educational technology, but it is not too far behind the lead.

Several colleges have taken visible steps toward offering technologically-advanced education.

California State Polytechnic University (CalPoly), for instance, has offered distancelearning programs for the last couple of years. With the program, students, through the use of video and audio methods, can attend classes taught from a location other than the university.

In January, they will test the

"The people we're going to have to reach are the people like myself...maybe around ten o'clock or so, I might have time to take a course, but that's not going to work in the current system. So, I think your going to see the ability for people to be able to do that at home," he said.

V

For the last 20 years, UCO has operated the existing talk-back television network. Although funding grants and appropriations have kept the present system updated, the future system of UCO will offer multiple channels of interactive television.

With this technology, a student at UCO might be able to enroll at an The technology is changing English class offered at so fast that even if students Princeton, know the latest information, in Erhart said.

enrollment where a student could walk up to a terminal, key in their request, see if that class is available and enroll themselves," he said.

These plans are just dreams until the funding becomes available, however, UCO President George Nigh said.

• "UCO is moving into the cutting edge in technology, but in funding we are way behind," said Nigh.

A $2 technology fee per credit hour, charged to students, is being considered by state regents to help achieve this goal.

Several out-of-state universities currently applying available technology have done so by forming partnerships with companies.

In some partnerships, such as one created between Jefferson Public Schools and a local machine company, the sponsor company provides computers or equipment for the school and the school develops instructional programs that train employees or future employees of the company.

"We have to be very careful on forming partnerships because of purchase laws," Nigh said.

Partnerships do exist, however, said Erhart.

"We certainly don't think the burden can always fall on the school or the student.

"Various technology companies have come in and are working with us as a system to implement this."

Another way of funding the technology is through agreements in which libraries and state or federal agencies are assessed a user fee, Erhart said.

Nigh releases 'OK' book sequel, plans signing at UC bookstore

By Iris Knight Staff Writer Not only is he president of UCO and former governor of the state of Oklahoma, but now he's an author, too.

George Nigh, together with award-winning photographer David Fitzgerald, released their new coffee-table book.

Oklahoma II , this month.

Nigh said this was his first book to be published.

"I hope it's not my last," he said.

Nigh has had several book signings for Oklahoma II and said he will have one soon at the University Center Bookstore.

The proceeds from the sales during the UCO signing may go toward a scholarship fund for writing or history majors, Nigh said.

Dick Tracy, co-owner and manager of Reed Moore Books, said people have been anxious for Oklahoma II and have been

UCO President George Nigh

waiting for something like this since the publication of Oklahoma in 1979.

"Many people buy books like this to send to relatives in another location or as gifts for visitors from foreign countries," said Tracy.

"Exactly where is Oklahoma?" asked Nigh's book. "...take the Twin Territories, throw in No Man's Land, take the South Fork of the Red River,

start on the far south bank. and go north till you touch Kansas, west till you touch Colorado, keep going west until you touch New Mexico, then turn around and go all the way back east till you reach Missouri, turn south to Arkansas and keep going to the Red River, and you've got OKLAHOMA...."

Nigh detailed the diverse cultures that comprised the founders of Oklahoma. He spoke of the evidence left by early Spanish and Viking explorers as they traveled through the state.

Fitzgerald, the official photographer of Aerospace America, published his first book, Oklahoma, in 1979. Oklahoma Today magazine named Fitzgerald Photographer of the Year for 1991, 1992, and 1993.

Oklahoma II can be purchased at Reed Moore Books, 3432 South Blvd. in Edmond for $39.95. The U.C. Bookstore will order copies from the publisher upon request.

Reviews By Iris Knight/ TheVista

Thursday

Book Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: ' CkL 'CkL Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.

Nigh's book shares state's 'rich tapestry' Oklahoma II by George Nigh and David Fitzgerald ranks near the top with other quality geographical coffee-table books such as Coastal Maine by Clyde H. Smith and John Gould, James Herriot's Yorkshire by James Herriot and Derry Brabbs and Ireland in Colour by Terence Sheehy and Noel Habgood.

Rating: (kL Oklahoma's own award-winning photographer Fitzgerald fills the volume with a rich tapestry of pictures from various areas around the state.

Reader's and lovers of nature photography can flip through this spectacular book and learn

many interesting things about Oklahoma and never leave their chair.

Former Governor Nigh lends depth to the photos with an original essay depicting life of the early settlers of Oklahoma and scenes of modern-day citizens.

Dick Tracy, a local Edmond book-seller said people often buy Oklahoma II to send to friends over-seas so they can learn about our state.

Fitzgerald, a photographer for 27 years, has received national acclaim with his work.

Oklahoma Today magazine named him Photographer of the Year for 1991, 1992 and 1993 and he has an exhibition as a part of the permanent collection in the University of Oklahoma's Museum of Art. Fitzgerald's other publications include Oklahoma, Ozarks, Israel and
