WORLD WRAP • Fax now a medium for heavenly prayer JERUSALEM (AP) — God can now be reached by modem. Every day, hundreds of notes seeking divine intervention are stuffed into cracks in Jerusalem's Wailing Wall, Judaism's holiest shrine. Now, if one can't make the trip to the wall, a note can be sent by fax. Faxes sent to a number the national telephone company has set up will be taken to the wall by an employee, company spokesman Zecharia Mizrotzky said Wednesday. The fax number is 011-972-2612222.

Political appointees face unemployment WASHINGTON (AP) — After years of drawing a government salary, hundreds of George Bush's political appointees are eligible for a government unemployment check. And some are applying for it. "It's an insurance policy that's been paid for," said one outgoing official at the Treasury Department who said he was thinking of applying for unemployment insurance. "It' s something to tide us over until anotherjob comes along ... something to keep the groceries on the table," said the official, who asked that his name not be used. But the money won't come close to matching the salaries most appointees are leaving behind. The average benefit for out-of-work government employees is $173 a week for about 18 weeks.
IBM announces big loss for 1992 NEW YORK (AP) — IBM announced a $4.97 billion loss for 1992, the worst financial performance in U.S. corporate history, and forecast more bleak times during a farreaching restructuring. IBM's sales fell for an unprecedented second straight year, while job cuts totaled 40,000 and will reach nearly 100,000 over three years by the end of 1993. IBM's stock extended declines that have dragged it from above $100 a share last summer to levels unseen since 1975. IBM fell$1.12- to $48.37.. V See WORLD WRAP, page 6

Library expansion remains uncertain Students may pay extra fee to help finance project By Teri Harzheim
Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma students might be paying a $2.50 per credit hour library facility fee in the fall semester to help finance the $8.7 million library expansion proposal in UCO's master plan for future campus improvements. "The fee will help double the size of the library," said Joyce Mounce, vicepresident of administration. "It has to be approved by the State Regents for Higher Education and then by the State Legislature." The expansion project is a step toward
bringing the Max Chambers Library, built in 1966, back up to American Library Association standards, said Mounce. "American Library Association standards are based on enrollment. They recommend that we have a square footage of 211,060," said Carol Barry, library assistant director. Since 1966, UCO's fall enrollment has increased by 7,445 students and graduate enrollment by 3,048 students. The library is currently 102,703 square feet. Upon completion of the expansion program, UCO will have a library facility of 194,903 square feet. The $2.50 would provide for 83,000 square feet. "The money will go toward capitol
improvements only," said Barry. "The effort to build up our collection comes from enrichment funds." Improvements included in the plans are space for users, including individual and group study space, student instruction facilities, space for library materials, staff, service, work areas and equipment, and unassignable space including stairwells, elevators, hallways and restrooms. Expansion of the library will begin in the fall upon approval of the master plan and as soon as the bonds sell, said Mounce. "The legislature usually doesn't approve those fees until May," said Mounce.

The collection displays the varieties of paperbacks published in that era and the diversity of their cover styles and art. Some of the genres featured in the show are classics, westerns, thrillers, horror, science fiction and historical. "It represents popular culture. Things
that sink into your system unconsciously, and the artist sometimes remains more often anonymous," said William Wallo, museum director. "Because more thought and energy was devoted to it, the paperback cover embodies much more cultural information in a wider variety of ways than almost any other similar device," Pickard wrote in the exhibit booklet.
Exhibit displays 50-year-old book covers By Teri Harzheim
Staff Writer John Pickard's collection, "Paper Thunder II", an exhibit displaying paperback book covers of 1939-1959, is on exhibit at the University of Central Oklahoma Museum of Art now through Feb. 9. "The show deals with the covers and the relationship of the covers with the content of the book," said Pickard, assistant professor of humanities and philosophy at UCO. Although popular in Europe, paperbacks were not popular in America until the emergence of Pocket Books Inc., said Pickard. "I grew up reading those books. Several years ago they started becoming rarities, and I remembered how vivid the covers were," said Pickard. "The object was to sell these books anywhere but in a bookstore ... and make them available to the public." Pickard began putting together the show about five or six years ago tying in xo

And now, scenes we'd never thought we'd see at a Presidential Inauguration:
"ELVIS IMPERSONATORS" NEY Kia WHICH WAY TO THE PARADE(, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO LOVE PIE TEN DErAT 3:00.
Pomp and poetry usher in the 42nd president Every four years Americans have the pleasure of watching the presidential inauguration. Power changes hands, the band plays and speeches are made. In all its splendor, the inauguration ceremonies provide an outside view of the new residents of the White House as well as the old. The transition to the 42nd president of the United States was a smooth one. Its an awesome undertaking when such a high degree of power changes hands. Even more awesome is that the transition was smooth. No revolution broke out nor was there any blood shed. The smooth transition of power is one of many things that makes this country great. Another great thin; about this country are those exceptional speeches made by incoming, presidents. President Clinton's speech was no exception. Clinton said all the right things including this profound statement. We will not shrink from the challenges nor fail to seize the opportunities. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America." Certainly a mouth full of words but what does it mean? Does it mean health care for all or a better school system in your neck of the woods? A great speech indeed, but remember that's all it is and ever will be. Shrinking from challenges failing to seize the opportunities are the least of his worries. American voters put Clinton in office based on what he said. Its the voters turn now to see if he makes good on his promises. Clinton can stop talking and start working now. The time has come for the new president to get busy and manage damage control on broken promises that every new president breaks. Its time for change, any change and Clinton knows the word well but does he understand the reality of change? Clinton, in is inauguration speech, used the word "change" nine times. Is it an omen of things to come? If so, will it be good or bad change? It's safe to say that there will be a little of both. Hail to the chief and may his wheels begin spinning and his mouth stop promising.

Graduate disagrees with new curriculum s a graduate of funeral service at Central State University, now the University of Central Oklahoma, I am concerned with the apparent decreasing value of my degree. There were requirements that had to be followed to earn a degree in funeral service. The degree of difficulty of those requirements seems to have been lessened. If funeral service graduates want to continue as professionals in their communities, the minimum requirement for a degree should be upheld and strengthened, not lessened. According to Webster's New World Dictionary, practicum means 'course or group session emphasizing the practical application of theory, especially one in which a student gains on-the-job experience in a field of study.' Practicum is an upper level course required for funeral service students. It is similar to an internship by a student teacher.
A
As a graduate of the CSU funeral service department and a professional in the field of funeral service, I have completed the practicum requirement. This course required a minimum number of hours to be worked at a funeral home other than the one where you were employed. There was no compensation allowed for this course work. The education gained through this experience outweighed the expense incurred by the student. Practicum in any field is expected to be an educational experience. While serving at a funeral home, there is a preceptor to whom the student is responsible. The preceptor is a
teacher to the student for the duration of the course. The student gains knowledge in funeral directing, embalming, and learns how to conduct himself in a professional manner. The fact that we were not allowed to complete a practicum course at our place of employment had its purpose. It gave us exposure to different techniques of accomplishing tasks in the preparation room, funeral service, and in dealing with the public. We were not limited to completeing the task in the single way it was done at our place of employment. We were then able to make a comparison, analysis and a decision. Is this not education? If students are allowed to cornplete this requirement at theirplace of employment, several problems could arise. If a student does his practicum at his place of employment, how do you determine when the employee becomes a student? Duties of a student and the duties of an employee are not the same. Can a time clock separate the employer/employee relationship? When one student is allowed to complete this requirement at his place of employment, a precedent has been set and all students should be allowed this same opportunity. A problem could arise when the student's parents own the funeral home where he is employed. This student has been cheated of his education. His education has been curtailed. If funeral service students are to be professionals in the filed, why would we allow their education to be abbreviated? Some students could have a
position of authority in a firm. Even a position of authority over their preceptor. How effective could the preceptor be in a position of control over someone who has the authority to relieve them of their employment? This will deprive those students of the opportunity to learn. Is this education? Another point of concern is liability. If the student creates a situation where responsibility must be accepted, who will be liable? The firm or the university? When there is ambiguity as to the individual being a student or an employee, it will be difficult to assign liability. Other items of concern are the governing bodies of higher education. How do the accreditation board and the board of regents feel about undergraduates receiving payment for course work? There are many graduates of the funeral service department at CSU/UCO with whom I have spoken and are in agreement with this letter. We had rules and guidelines to follow to achieve our goal of professionalism in funeral service. To lessen these we feel would devalue our accomplishment at CSU/ UCO. Through all of this we must remember our final objective— education. According to Webster, education means 'the process of training and developing the knowledge, mind, character, etc., especially by formal schooling; teaching; training.' Can this happen when a student performs his practicum at his place of employment? —David R. Dick

onna Banks and Will Andrews recently submitted letters which verbally assaulted Candice L. Roy for her stand against homosexuality. Ms. Banks was out of line in calling Ms. Roy a bigot. Believing that an act is wrong is not bigotry. Most people believe that theft is wrong. They are not bigots. A bigot, according to Webster, is "an intolerant person, especially in matters of race, religion, or politics." It is an unwarranted animosity toward an individual or group because of a physical characteristic (such as the disabled), lineage (such as Jews or Poles), or a belief that does not contradict one's own morality (hating a Catholic rather than Catholic beliefs, as opposed to hating a sex cult.) If she exhibited encugh animosity toward gays to qualify herself as a bigot, then there was more than enough hatred of Candice to classify Donna Banks as one as well. Homosexuality has indeed been around for centuries; so
have alcohol and drug abuse, prostitution, rape, theft, and murder. Both she and Will Andrews seem to think that homosexuality is just fine because God made it possible. Does that mean it is also fine to kill a homosexual because had God "not wanted his creation to indulge in such behavior, he should not have made it possible?" God loves each and every one of us equally and unconditionally. However, He does not approve of everything we do simply because He made it possible. By the way Mr. Andrews — God, Allah, Yahweh, and Jehovah are all one and the same; Christ is the incarnation of God, a prophet to Moslems; Buddha was an incarnation of the Shiva; Mohammed was a prophet; and Satan is not a god. Granted, in a secular state, religion should not be the only reason for passing laws. However, since every religion has a great deal of cultural and moral influence, it should always be taken into consideration. Ev-

ery law deals with those cultural and moral norms and deviances a society finds so important that it must take extreme measures to enforce. Many "open-minded" people like to use the term "homophobe" to describe those who believe homosexuality is wrong. Do they believe in the right to have sex with children, or are they "pedaphobes?" Using words such as "homophobe," "bigot," or "redneck" to degrade people because they disagree with you is no better than calling someone a "nigger-lover" or an "Uncle Tom." I may not have the right to tell you with whom to sleep, but you have no right to tell me with whom to associate, to whom to rent an apartment, whom to employ, or what my children should learn in school. Keep your bedroom out from under my nose, and I'll keep my nose out of your bedroom.

Central Oklahoma's basketball teams, led by topguns Alex Wright and Ton'Nea Williams, beat-up on Angelo State's teams Saturday to gain Lone Star Conference wins at Broncho Field House. Wright scored 31 points in the Bronchos 104-84 win over the Rams, while Williams chalked-up 15 to lead the Lady Bronchos to a 79-72 victory over the Rambelles. Fred Tyler poured in 25 points in the game helping UCO to it's 11th straight win and a 152 record. The Bronchos also tallied their 25th straight victory inside Broncho Field House. ASU's Ed Wheeler had a monster game throwing in 43 points, however it wasn't enough as the Bronchos improved to 3-0 in the LSC and dropped the Rams to 6-10 overall and 1-2 in the conference. The Lady Bronchos trailed at the half by two points, but aided by Kim Martin's seven points in the opening minutes of the second half went on to notch their 10th win of the season (106). UCO used it's usual total team effort to wear down the Rambelles. Jana Flanagan tossed in 13 points, Tammy Cummings 12 and Martin 12.

Broncho wrestlers test their mettle against Div. 1 foes NCAA I national Champ's pin 40-6 loss on UCO; N.C. State rallies to take Bronchos 21-18 By Justin Harper Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's NCAA Division II national champion wrestling squad traveled to Lincoln, Neb. over the weekend to compete in the Cliff Keen National Dual Championships. Despite several wins over Division I opponents in recent years, including a victory over New Mexico earlier this season, the Bronchos had a tall order ahead of them going in against defending NCAA I national champion Iowa and powerful North Carolina State. In the first dual versus the Hawkeyes, UCO managed only two wins with 126 pounder Travis Moman earning a 12-5 decision and 167 pounder Keith Cunningham posting a 5-4 decision. Iowa racked up four pins, one technical fall, two major decisions and one decision in the 40-6 win. The Bronchos came painfully close to beating the Wolfpack, but dropped the final four bouts
to lose 21-18. UCO got things going with 118 lb. Randy Zellner's 2-0 decision win, Moman's 17-5 major decision at 126 and Mike Keim's 12-3
major decision at 134. N.C. State then got on the board with Mark Cesary's 7-6 decision over Todd Drake at 142. The Bronchos then won the next two weights with Biff
Jones' 10-7 decision at 150 and Wes White's 11-2 major decision at 158. tJCO had a seemingly comfortable 18-3 lead, but then things began to fall apart. At 167
Cunningham was decisioned 11-4. That was followed up by an N.C. State decision at 177 and back to back pins at 190 and heavyweight to close out the match.

Canada holds White Aryan Director OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The director of the White Aryan Resistance in Oklahoma is being
held at a Canadian immigration holding center pending a hearing to determine whether he can enter the country. Dennis Mahon of Tulsa, a former grand dragon of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma, was denied entry into Canada on Friday on grounds he
would likely commit an indictable offense, namely, inciting hatred, Canadian immigration officials said. Mahon was detained by immigration officers at a Toronto airport, said Wendy Bontinen, spokesperson for Canadian immigration. She said a hearing is to be held Monday to determine whether Mahon should be allowed to enter the country.
"An adjudicator (judge) will have to make a final determination about whether he is inadmissible to Canada as we allege," Ms. Bontinen said. Mahon is involved with a racist television series on Norman's community access cable television channel. The series, titled "Race & Reason" was broadcast for the first time two weeks ago.

Conflicts elevate at Roe vs. Wade's 20-year mark OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An abortion-rights leader in Oklahoma City called Friday's 20th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade a time of celebration, while a doctor's group took out half-page ads "in memoriam." About 13,000 abortions are performed in Oklahoma each year, the Oklahoma Physicians Advisory Council said in its advertisements in The Daily Oklahoman, Tulsa World and
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Organizers have used false information in their national fund drive to establish an endowed professorship in the name of Anita Hill, a University of Oklahoma official says. Ron Burton, executive director of the University of Oklahoma Foundation, said the campaign is distributing solicitation material that falsely claims law professor Anita Hill would be named to the endowed position. "You can't pick the recipient. That's part of the IRS code," Burton said Friday. "I'm not going to jeopardize my (tax) exemption for Anita Hill or anybody else." So far, the fund has collected $107,330 toward its goal of
Lawton Constitution. Supreme Court decisions since the first one legalizing abortion, Roe vs. Wade, "have allowed for the destruction of over 28 million preborn children in the United States during the past 20 years," the ad said. The ad includes a picture of an intact fetus and the names of more than 250 doctors under a demand that Roe vs. Wade be overturned.

The fund is being raised as a tribute to Hill, who gained national fame in October 1991 when she accused then-U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. The account is being managed by the OU foundation, but the fund-raising campaign is based in St. Paul, Minn.

Swank did say she deserves the post. "It would be my recommendation that Professor Hill hold the position," said Swank, who will step down June 30, before he will have the chance to recommend her to the regents.

Roe vs. Wade's 20th anniversary sends 300 to pray for Clinton WASHINGTON (AP) — Several hundred anti-abortion protesters gathered behind the White House last week to "pray for our president," while President Clinton prepared to undo his Republican predecessor's restrictions on abortion counseling. "Please God, give him the courage to do what is right," said Randall Terry, director of Operation Rescue, a militant group that targets abortion clinics. "He knows what is right, but he has been surrounded by wicked counselors." About 300 demonstrators gathered on the Ellipse behind the White House in advance of their annual protest march today. Tens of thousands of participants were expected for the march on the 20th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion. The protesters left after twice being warned by police they would be arrested if they did not move away from the sidewalk they were blocking. We are not here to Yet arrested," said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, leader of the Christian Defense Coalition. "We are here to pray. We are going to put our knee on that sidewalk and pray for our president." About 50 abortion rights activists also gathered nearby and engaged in a brief shoVing match with Park Police.
New York sanitation department searches for stolen garbage trucks NEW YORK (AP) — Police and the Sanitation Department are talking trash, though they can't explain the disappearance of 11 garbage trucks in the last five months. The police Auto Theft Division is investigating the thefts, the latest of which occurred Monday at a Sanitation Department lot in the Bronx. Eleven trucks taken from a fleet of 2,000 may not sound like much, but at $110,000 apiece, it will take $1.2 million to replace them. In the past, the department wasn't surprised to see two or three trucks a year go, south, temporarily. "Joyriders mostly," department spokeswoman Anne Canty said Thursday. "After a day or to the trucks would show up, sometimes with a load of garbage, indicating that maybe they were used for a job. "What is disturbing about these 11 is that they are not being recovered." "I don't know why someone would want to take a sanitation truck other than that they are in the business," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. "I don't know where you market them, where you sell them. Again this is New York City. Strange things happen." The stolen trucks needn't be kept out of sight to remain undetected. "They arc part of the fabric of the city. You see one and you don't think, 'My God, it's a hot garbage truck,'" Canty said
Shipping experts blame poor regulations for recent oil spills LONDON (AP) — Shipping experts blame poor enforcement of safety regulations for a series of disasters that left a supertanker ablaze and gushing oil north of Indonesia last week, and fouled waters off Spain, Scotland and Estonia. They acknowledge that bad weather, mechanical problems and human error figured in the disasters, starting Dec. 2, but insist each horror story might have been prevented had international tanker traffic guidelines been followed. "If the regulations are on the books but they are not enforced, they are meaningless," said Richard Golob, president of World Information Systems in Cambridge, Mass., which monitors oil spills. Golob said U.S. laws approved in 1990 after the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Alaska's Prince William Sound, spilling 11 million gallons, already have reduced oil spills in U.S. coastal waters. Tankers entering Prince William Sound and Washington state's Puget Sound now must be escorted by tugs. An escort is credited with preventing another tanker from running aground in Alaska in October, Golob said.

Plant workers labor over icy campus By David Farney Student Writer
Like returning students, snow and ice descended upon the University of Central Oklahoma campus during the first two weeks of the spring semester. The unusual amount of winter precipitation means unusual amounts of work for the UCO physical plant. "Sometimes people forget we have to get out and get here on the icy mornings too," said David McClellan, physical plant director. On icy mornings, the physical plant workers get started
anytime between 4-6 p.m. They combat snow and ice accumulation with a de-icing substance, not salt, so that the pavement isn't damaged. The ground crew, consisting of between eight and 12 workers, distribute the de-icer with fertilizer spreaders. "We've used approximately 12,000 pounds of de-icer this year," McClellan said. Despite the extra work, McClellan said UCO was fortunate in that no electrical lines went down under the weight of the ice. "This is the worst winter so far since I've been here," McClellan said. He has been with UCO for four years.

College Bowl extends deadline By Michele Soh Staff Writer
The College Bowl, orignally set for Jan. 22-23, has been postponed to Feb. 5 because only two teams have signed up for the tournament, said Student Government Association Liaison, Jodi Waddle. The deadline for signing-up has been extended to 5 p.m. Feb. 3, University of Central Oklahoma Professor, Dr. Gayle Kearns said students returning for the spring semester were limited by the earlier deadline. The winning varsity team will receive a fee waiver for both the Fall and Spring semesters and the runner-up will receive a scholarship for one semester, said Dr. Dudley Ryan, dean of student services. The UCO varsity team will advance to the Regional Championship Tournament, Feb.
26-28, at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. College Bowl is "The Varsity Sport of the Mind," said Kearns. Questions will cover all topics from literature, science, history, geography, religion, social sciences, multicultural topics and the arts to popular culture, sports and current events, she added. Waddle, who was part of last year's winning team, said College Bowl was a lot of fun, but also stressful. She said it is not just what you know but
timing also; it is like "Jeopardy." "If we cannot beat OU and OSU at football, at least we have a chance at the College Bowl," said Waddle, whose team came in fourth at the Regional Championships last year. College Bowl is open to all full-time UCO students. A team consist of a captain, three members and an alternate. Last year, eight teams competed.

Professional dancer to teach jazz class By Heide Brandes Staff Writer
Frank Chavez of the Hubbard Street Dance Company will teach an advanced jazz masters class from 12:45-2:15 p.m., Feb. 5 at the University of Central Oklahoma's Mitchell Hall dance studio, said Jamie Jacobson, health and dance instructor. "Hubbard Street is a highly acclaimed professional jazz company out of Chicago," Jacobson said. "They've traveled around the world. We (UCO's Kaleidoscope Dancer's Company) had an opportunity to see Hubbard Street perform at the American College Dance Festival in 1990 at the Texas Women's University. They were
phenomenal. I think they literally blew the audience away." Chavez has worked with Hubbard Street for six years and is now directing his own company, said Jacobson. The seminar will include lessons in jazz technique, wannup technique and jazz combination. Students will have an opportunity to study with a professional to help improve their technique and training, said Jacobson. The seminar is sponsored by the Kaleidoscope Dancers Company and the McGuiness High School dance department. The class costs $10 and is open to on and off campus students. The deadline for enrollment is Feb. 1 and anyone interested can sign up by calling ext. 5231.
New York Post may suspend publication NEW YORK (AP) — The credit-starved New York Post could suspend publication next week unless its unions agree to a one-month pay cut of 20 percent, its owner said. The nation's oldest continuously published daily, known for its blaring headlines and feisty reporting, has for years been struggling for profitability in a highly competitive market. Owner Peter Kalikow put the tabloid up for sale last Friday, saying it could close soon if the unions don't agree to the cutbacks. "If I could somehow get a temporary wage cut, as well as other revenue enhancements, basically we might be able to keep the paper going," he said in today's New York Times. "This would allow us a four-week period in which to identify one of the buyers." The newsstand price of the tabloid will increase a dime to 50 cents on Monday if the newspaper publishes, he said. "I see that this is the only way
to keep our jobs," said George McDonald, president of an umbrella group for eight Post unions representing 716 workers. Four unions agreed to Kalikow's proposal late Friday night. The others have until 6 p.m. Sunday to decide, said McDonald, president of the Allied Printing Trades Council. Martin McLaughlin, a spokesman for Kalikow, said the announcement was prompted when Post lender Bankers Trust cut off credit. Bankers Trust spokesman Tom Parisi declined to comment on the decision. Kalikow has "four or five people interested in buying the paper," McLaughlin said. Some of the deals would involve Kalikow keeping a percentage, while others would involve buying the tabloid outright, McLaughlin said. Sweet Nothings Coming on February 11th

Prison teacher finds dinosaur remains BOSWELL, Okla. (AP) — Stumbling across dinosaur bones in southern Oklahoma takes a I bit a luck, which is exactly how a prison teacher found the jawbone of a tenotosaurus, the curator at Oklahoma Museum of Natural History says. Jack Wilson, a heavy equipment instructor at the Howard McLeod Correctional Center vo-tech, found the fossil — believed to be 100 million years old — a few weeks ago while moving dirt after heavy rains eroded the surface. "That's how these things get found," curator Richard Cifelli said . "If you go out to the real
American West, where there's total exposure, you can walk around and look for dinosaurs. In southern Oklahoma, most of the discoveries are found by accident." Cifelli, paleontologist Nicholas Czaplewski and a halfdozen University of Oklahoma students plan to start digging at the site. Researchers also found near the minimum-security prison the skull of another tenotosaurus and the connected skeleton of a third dinosaur that has not been identified. It wouldn't surprise Cifelli if they found more remains in the area.
Dinosaur remains also were found in southern Oklahoma in 1908, three finds in 1940 and another one in 1990, also near the prison. "It's a major hot spot. This particular site is a couple of hundred feet by a couple of hundred feet, and the fact three discoveries were made leads us to believe we can find more," he said. "It could be a real graveyard." The tenotosaurus was a 15foot-long plant eater built along the lines of a tyrannosaurus but with a longer nose. Cifelli said it roamed the earth about 100 million years ago, later than the
Teen-ager's bond set at $700,000
1
ENID, Okla. (AP) — A high school freshman remains jailed in lieu of $700,000 bond after allegedly raping a woman and shooting her daughter after the younger woman resisted his advances, police say. Alex Moreno, 16, was charged last Friday as an adult with rape, attempted rape, shooting with intent to kill and two counts each of robbery with a dangerous weapon and kidnapping, District Attorney Cathy Stocker said. The attacks occurred Thursday night, after the teen-ager, who told authorities that he lived in Madill but went to Ardmore High School this semester, allegedly hid in a van at a local shopping mall. Moreno told police, according to a court affidavit filed Friday, that he got into the van and hid in the back with the intention of stealing the vehicle. But when the two women, 23 and 42, got
into the van, he said, "one thing led to another" and he forced the two women at gunpoint to drive out into the country. The van got stuck on the road and at that point, the teen allegedly ordered the women to take their clothes off, police Capt. Jim Hood said. Moreno, according to the affidavit, said he shot the younger woman in the chest with a small-caliber handgun when she fought him and then raped her mother twice. All three began walking back toward town and were picked up by a motorist, Hood said. After the teen was let out, the women told the driver what had happened and they were taken to a local hospital. The bleeding of the gunshot victim apparently went unnoticed in the car, Hood said. The wounded woman was listed in stable condition in the

intensive-care unit, and her mother was in good condition late Friday, a hospital spokeswoman said. The women said Moreno threatened to kill them several times, and robbed them of jewelry and cash. A police spokesman said most of the jewelry and cash were found on Moreno, but the handgun was not found. An intense search, which included help from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the sheriff's office, resulted in the teen's arrest about 2 a.m. Friday. He was found hiding in a shed in a northwest Enid housing addition.
brontosaurus but earlier than the tyrannosaurus. "Dinosaurs of this particular age are very poorly known worldwide," he said. "Even a scrap of bone is of interest. We've got a lot of knowledge of early dinosaurs and later ones, but we know very little of those in between." Cifelli says the skull might help scientists determine to which dinosaur the tenotosaurus was related or prove a belief held by many scientists that the tenotosaurus was a separate species. He said the connected skeleton — the forelimb, shoulder and
back — could be particularly important. "It's always exciting if we find the bones together instead of scattered because then you know how everything fits together," he said. Cifelli also said it would be interesting to study the tenotosaurus in relation to the evolution of vegetation on earth in that time frame, noting that caused dinosaurs to change their feeding patterns. He said the research team would spend two days at the site, even though that might not be enough time to finish the job.
Tourism department looks to increase advertising budget OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The state Tourism and Recreation Department is looking to increase its advertising budget, possibly by closing some parks and charging entrance fees to others, its director says. Director Jim Thomas told a House budget subcommittee last week that such a plan could generate $2.5 million more to advertise Oklahoma's parks. But one lawmaker wasn't impressed with the proposal. "Come to Oklahoma where we can rip you off," quipped Rep. Bill Widener, DWeatherford.
Thomas told the subcommittee that Gov. David Walters wants more advertising to publicize state parks. The department's advertising budget is $4.8 million. "Surrounding states are spending quite a bit more on advertising and (Walters) is trying to even up the playing field," Thomas said. The Tourism Department, like other state agencies, faces an austere budget next fiscal year. Thomas has proposed closing as many as 15 state parks and charging entrance fees of perhaps $2 per car to $10 per bus.

Faculty music recital to be held By Heide Brandes Staff Writer

A faculty woodwind recital presented by the University of Central Oklahoma department of music will be held at 7:30 p.m., Jan. 27 in the Recital Hall of the Music Building. The Euphonious Woodwind Quartet, consisting of faculty members Earl Hefley, Ron Howell, David Price and UCO
graduate student Joe Fine, will double on instruments during the concert. "We don't just play one instrument, "Howell said. "We all play four or five different ones." The instruments to be played include the piccolo, flute, clarinet and bassoon, as well as the soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones." "We try to do a recital yearly. It's entertaining and educational," Howell said. "I started it four or five years ago when I first came
so students and (the faculty) could learn to double on instruments. The job market now requires students to play different instruments." The quartet will perform "Double Trouble" by Dr. Bob Dillon and the Jerry Smith arrangement of "Four Mothers," as well as works by Walter Hartley, Harold Owen, Jack Marshall and Rossini. The concert is free to the public. For more information, contact the Music office at ext.. 5004.
