Bond first became interested in helping the Jesus House because of a sociology class he had been taking.

"We had to do a group project on groups and social behavior.

We chose the e Jesus House," Bond said.

The project was aphotographic essay designed to "get the students out of the classroom and into reality," said Dr. Bourdette, the sociology professor who assigned the project. "Any of us could become homeless very quickly."

In Bond's visits to the House, he talks with the residents and has made some friends.

Oklahoma rainfall tops average in '93 NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma recorded 38.66 inches of rain in 1993, making it the 25th wettest year in the state since 1892, the Oklahoma Climatological Survey at the University of Oklahoma said today.

The precipitation total was about 4.42 inches above normal.

A mild autumn and temperatures that were cooler than normal the rest of the year made 1993 the 11th coolest year on record for the state. The average temperature for the year was 59.2 degrees, 1.2 degrees below normal.

Dick Tracy's wife to file for divorce CHICAGO (AP) — After 45 years of marriage, Dick Tracy is about to face an occupational hazard encountered by many police officers: divorce.

In the Feb. 7 comic strip, the bent-nosed crime stopper will be served with divorce papers from his wife, Tess. She says that she's had enough of the lonely life of a police wife and that Tracy's true love is his career.

Tracy is about to return home from the FBI Academy in Washington to try to save his marriage when terrorists threaten to blow up a presidential monument if they don't get $1 billion.

Police hunt Tulsa for Ohio fugitive WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — Authorities are searching the Tulsa, Okla., area for a fugitive from the Ohio County Jail, a deputy says.

Irvin J. Rill, 35, escaped Jan. 10 by prying open two doors on the first floor of the jail.

He had three days left on a sentence for breaking and entering, grand larceny and failure to appear in court.

However, Rill was scheduled to be sent to Ohio to face charges there upon his release, police say.

Rill was spotted in Tulsa recently, Ohio County Li Harry Croft said Monday. ♦ See WORLD WRAP, Paie 8

Court's ruling on abortion protestors hurts everyone

W

hether it is "a new weapon against violent protests," as supporters claim, or "an action destructive of free speech rights," according to opponents, the U.S. Surpreme Court hammered a new wedge Monday in the ever-widening gap between abortion rights activists and those calling themselves "pro-lifers."

In a unanimous decision, the Court sanctioned the use of federal racketeering laws under the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) statute that block access to abortion clinics, if it can be shown that protesters engaged in a pattern of illegal acts.

RICO is a 24-year old statute originally giving law enforcement broad civil and criminal powers to combat organized crime The National Organization of Women calls the decision a "powerful tool to fight violence. " Operation Rescue leaders say it now means they can be "sued by the enemies of God." But in the end, it is all of us, regardless of which side we are on, or even if we take no stand at all on the issue, who are the losers in those kinds of decisions.

We have become such a nation of wimps, always looking to someone else to blame for our hardships and to fix things for us that are (or in some cases aren't) broke that the phrase "let's pass a law against it" has become like a battle cry in this country, albeit, a whiny one.

The legal and moral questions that face the world today, abortion among them, require serious discussion, careful thought, a throwing of the sacred bones, the gazing into crystal balls, chants and dances, prayers and meditation.

Cries of "let's pass a law against it," and "let's get them guys" are not answers. They are ingorance. They fall into the same category as "take away everybody's guns," and "well, bygod, then we'll just build more prisons."

One more law against the "bad guys" is one more law against the "good guys," also. And it is one more law too many.

When a law is broadened to include more people, the grip around freedom's throat tightens. And it becomes a little harder to breathe for all of us.

Terri's 2 cents Even real people are beautiful Americans are packagists.

We love packaging - any kind of packaging - and we rarely care what's in the package. I have heard tales of people marketing cow poop, and selling it. It earned its reason for being by being very well packaged cow poop.

Everything is packagable, and the hottest item currently on the market today is, well, us.

I have seen the product, and it is us.

Advertisers choose images that are supposed to appeal to us in order to sell us something.

The trouble is, what we're "buying" is a market researched, artificial image of ourselves. We need to remember that it's not just the soap we're buying.

"Sex sells" is the current media absolution for everything it puts forth. But there is something wrong with an industry that makes no attempt to reflect real people in any realistic way.

If you look at advertising images in the print and broadcast media today, you might come to the conclusion that every woman is a size four and none of them are old enough to buy liquor on their own. Many of the models hawking courtier for women are not yet old enough to drive.

Open 24 Hours

THE VISTA

So why do we accept such fiction when it comes to the imagery that is supposed to reflect us?

Some would say it is because these images are beautiful and people love beauty and beautiful people. That is true, but images of beauty are constantly being created and revised. What we are being sold is the notion of what is supposed to be beautiful ; in other words, 15-year-old girls who are size four are not in themselves inherently beautiful; that image has been eroticized and advertised to us as the very image of beauty.

The truth is that beauty does not reside in just one look. Many people and many different kinds of people are beautiful. Why can't advertisers eroticize what real people look like? Since the image itself is a creation, the industry should not be so restrictive in what it chooses to promote.

Just like everyone else, I too like to see beautiful people, but why can't I see beautiful people who are tall or short, fat, thin, black, white, old, young and everyone in between? It is possible; I see such people every day.

The thing we need to remember is that we vote at the cash register.

We too often complain about what the media has to say about us, but we need to understand that we have a say in the invention of ourselves.

In a culture where everything exists beneath a heavy veneer of cellophane or thigh cream, forever trying to keep it all fresh and firm for later, it is easy to lose touch with reality. And Madison Avenue does its part to help us forget that reality is there to keep us in touch with ourselves.

By Roy Howe Staff Writer

George Nigh, University of Central Oklahoma president, told more than 300 faculty and staff members last week that the students are the impetus of the institution.

University vice presidents and deans backed up Nigh's support for the students with statistics on growing enrollment and classes offered.

"We're here to serve the students," Nigh told the faculty. "And everything is designed for them and us to serve them."

He urged instructors to become involved with their pupils not only inside the classroom, but with their extracurricular activities also.

"I hope that you (faculty) will become more active in your support of student activities," he said.

"I encourage you to encourage our students. We need you at plays, at performances, at recitals, at games, at matches.

"We need you at the organizational meetings. Our students need to know you care far beyond the

classroom, far beyond the counter or far beyond the secretarial desk," he said.

Instructors should understand that they are educating students from around the world, Nigh said, that will be entering a workforce which may not resemble today's.

"We have to understand that we are a diverse student body—many cultures, many different backgrounds—as we look to the future," he said.

During the meeting, Vice President for Student Services, Dudley Ryan, told the faculty that enrollment totals have reached last spring semester's numbers, and there are still two weeks for students to sign up for classes.

Ryan attributed the continuing rise in enrollment to the high quality programs and faculty offered at UCO. "Congratulations for being super recruiters," Ryan told the faculty and staff.

He said students from 75 counties and 78 countries represented the campus population last semester.

Twenty-four percent of the stu-

dent body is comprised of graduate students, and that number is rising, George Avellano, dean of the graduate college, told the employees.

The graduate college currently offers 24 programs and is pursuing an OK from the State Regents to offer a master's degree in Public Administration.

The University of Oklahoma also offers a graduate degree in Public Administration. State Regents are considering whether UCO' s program would parallel OU' s. State Regents warn against duplicating programs.

"I see no reason why that program shouldn't be accepted," Avellano said.

Those also addressing UCO faculty and staff included Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs, Carl Reherman, Nigh Institute director and Richard Burpee, vice president of development and community relations.

Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration, also spoke at the gathering.

Student arrested after knife incident at UCO bookstore

By Janet Runge Staff Writer 1■111111•111

A UCO student was arrested Monday after allegedly pulling a knife on another student.

"The campus police had a 30second-respond time," said Lt. Hayes Forbes of the campus police.

At 4:57 p.m. on the afternoon of Jan. 24, the campus police department received a call from the University Bookstore reporting that a white male in a red shirt and jeans had pulled a knife on another student.

According to the police report, the suspect had returned some books and forgot one. When he returned to the building with the forgotten book, an argument ensued with another student about his place in the line. The suspect pulled a box knife which he threatened the other student with, then jumped on the counter and demanded his money. He pulled some money from the clerk's hands and fled to the east parking lot of the University Center.

Campus police blocked in the suspect's car, at which time he rammed one of the squad cars with his own vehicle.

The suspect was taken into custody and booked at the Oklahoma

County jail.

The police department is requesting the following charges: Three counts of assault with a deadly weapon after former felony conviction: One count of concealed weapon.

One count of public intoxication.

One count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Several pieces of computer equipment were damaged at the University Center when the suspect jurnped on the counter. There is no estimate at this time for the damages to the equipment and the police car.

"What used to mostly single men and a few women has turned into a lot of women and children.

It used to be the 'throwaways' like the elderly, handicapped, mentally disabled, and drug abusers. We still see an alarmingly large number of mentally handicapped, but more and more are single parentsmothers- with children," Lord said.

Dean Bond also worked for the state Health Deptartment, in the STD/HIV education department.

"Even when I worked at the state Health Department... one of the reasons our programs did not have that much impact on the community was because that they did not have money to advertise community health. Just like the Jesus House. You see a heck of a lot more beer ads, because they've got the money to advertise, than you do community health education ads," Bond said.

Often the House is crowded and dingy. At bed-down time, while preparing guests for bed, Dianna goes person-to-person dispensing vitamins, aspirin and cough syrup. Coughs echo down the long downstairs corridor and one could softly hear her murmur, "Doin' okay?" "I love you," or "God bless you."

"I haven't slept in over 36 hours," Lord mentions as she pulls out two sacks of medicine cups, like tiny shot glasses, to dispense cough syrup to those who need it.

"There's no telling. It's been pretty quiet so far this evening, but as soon as I get all these people bedded down, all hell could break loose."

About this time, a husky, bearded man that looks about 35 knocks on her office door. Arms tattooed, black t-shirt, and eyes heavy, he seems oblivious to Dianna's working.

Bronchos lose to Angelo, Abeline

By Rachel Schnitzer Staff Writer

UCO dropped two on the road, falling to Angelo State 86-85 and Abeline Christian 107-101.

The Bronchos, in the middle of a shooting slump, were toppled by Angelo State and preseason AllAmerican Ed Wheeler.

Despite a lack-luster first half, the Rams came back from a 43-34 hole. Early in the second the Bronchos added to their lead, taking the score to 50-38. Angelo State rallied behind Wheeler and took the lead with 11:19 left.

The Rams had a six-point lead when UCO fought back to reclaim the lead on a Johnny Tyson slam dunk. Angelo State again tied the score with :19 remaining, before Zoderick Green gave the Bronchos a two-point lead with 12 ticks on the clock. Wheeler then nailed a traditional three-point play with one second left to seal the victory for the Rams.

The Bronchos then fell to Abeline Christian in the men's first 100-point loss of the year. The Wildcats took a one-point halftime lead and never looked back.

Despite another outstanding performance by Zoderick Green and Junie Sanders, the men have fallen

to 2-2 in LSC play.

UCO once again could not break out of their shooting slump, sinking a sparse 38 percent. This slump has lasted for six games and has a lot to do with the Bronchos falling to 11-5 overall.

The men hit the road again for two more conference games at Texas A&M-Kingsville and East Texas State.

Due to the withdrawal of the University of Oklahoma, the NCAA II national champion Central Oklahoma Broncos drew sixthranked Penn State in the opening round of the NWCA National Duals in Lincoln, Neb. last weekend.

After a disappointing performance against the Nittany Lions, the Bronchos hammered Wartburg 37-2 in the first round consolations followed by the most shocking upset of the duals.

UCO shocked the No. 4-ranked Michigan, winning the first four matches and taking a 15-0 lead.

Keith Cunningham, 167, won a crucial decision over MU' s Cad Biggert 5-3 leading the Bronchos to a 24-13 upset, securing a topeight spot in the meet. Three time All-American Randy Zellner

got his first victory of the meet against the Wolverines.

"That was probably the biggest win since I' ye been involved with UCO, the fact that Michigan was ranked No. 4, and it enabled us to place in the top eight. Right now we are on a positive note," said UCO Head Coach David James.

UCO then dropped their next match to No. 11 Nebraska with a respectable 25-10. The Bronchos got victories from Brian Melchiori at 126, Keith Cunningham, 167, and Chance Skidgel at 177.

UCO came back to defeat the forfeit-happy, No. 10-ranked Fresno State and clinch seventh place in the duals. The Bronchos are the first Non-Division I team to finish in the top eight.

Next, the Bronchos come home to wrestle South Dakota State Friday night at Hamilton Field House.

If the Bronchos continue this way, they look set to claim their third national championship.

Rick James strikes deal, gets sent to drug rehab instead of prison LOS ANGELES (AP) — Funk singer Rick James, convicted of assaulting women and other offenses, will be sent to a drug rehabilitation center instead of prison.

Under the plea deal, approved Thursday by Superior Court Referee Laura Heimowitz, the singer could be free as early as September.

The deal came shortly after the district attorney's office revealed it was investigating the way James' case had been handled. The Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified sources. said a district attorney's investigator allegedly provided heroin to a key witness at James' trial.

Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, would not say if the deal with James was tied to the investigation. She said officials were under a court-imposed gag order and "we are not allowed to provide any information about the investigation."

James faced more than five years in prison after pleading no contest earlier this month to a charge that he assaulted a woman at his Hollywood Hills home in July 1991.

And he faced up to 14 years after being convicted in September of holding a 35-year-old woman against her will and assaulting her. He was acquitted of torturing. her.

"We're delighted," said Mark Werksman, James' attorney.

"This is the result we expected."

James is best known for his 1981 hit "Super Freak."

Madden to join Fox Brodacasting next year as lead football analyst NEW YORK (AP) — John Madden will join Fox Broadcasting Co. next year as its lead football analyst, Fox Sports president David Hill announced Monday.

Madden, who has spent the past 15 years with CBS, has signed a four-year contract, reportedly for $32 million. There was no announcement, however, about Madden's broadcast partner of 13 years, Pat Summerall, who remains under contract with CBS. Madden and Summerall helped CBS broadcast its last NFL game Sunday, Dallas' 38-21 victory over San Francisco in the NFC championship game.

CBS, the original network of the NFL, has been televising league games since 1956. But last month it lost the bidding for the NFC portion of the contract to Fox's bid of $1.58 billion over four years.

"I've spent 15 years covering NFL football, mainly the NFC, and that is what I enmjoy and want to be doing," Madden said in a statement released through Fox. "That's my life — the players, the coaches, the stadiums."

Madden said he met with Fox owner Rupert Murdoch and "was very impressed with his ideas and vision of television and football. I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of."

Arby's to implement no smoking in its coporate-owned restaurants FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Arby's Inc. will ban smoking in all of its corporate-owned restaurants this summer and hopes to install the smoke-free policy in all franchise outlets as well, company officials said today.

Arby's said it would be the first major fast-food chain to have smoke-free corporate restaurants nationwide. The chain, which features roast-beef sandwiches, has 2,248 restaurants in the United States, 257 of them corporate-owned.

Arby's said test markets will be set up next month in Phoenix and Pittsburgh. Each city has 24 corporate-owned restaurants.

By summer, Arby's plans to have a no-smoking policy in place at all corporate outlets.

The plan was expected to be outlined in more detail later today at the Multi-State Working Group on Tobacco, a forum being held in Washington, D.C., by attorneys general from 16 states.

In light of the steps the attorney general offices are taking, "Arby's wanted to move ahead on eliminating environmental hazards for customers and employees," Don Pierce, Arby's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement issued today at corporate headquarters.

UCO alum gets teacher award Matt Williamson Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma alum Jean Pantlik was recently awarded the American Vocational Association's Trade and Industrial Division Outstanding Teacher Award.

"I started CSU in 1985," says Pantlik. As a graduate of, then, Central State University, she finds it hard to say UCO.

"During one of my night classes, a boy remarked that I was too old.

I said, 'Yes, I am."'

During the late 1960s, she owned a hair salon in Bartlesville.

When her husband moved to Oklahoma City for his job, she followed and again set up shop.

Pantlik began the cosmetology class at Francis Tuttle Vocational Technical Center in 1985 with 22 students and a bare floor.

Now the program has a waiting

list and contains high school juniors, seniors and adult enrollment.

Pantlik says that teaching is not just numbers and budget, she believes it is her ministry in life.

"The Lord put me in a position to touch the lives of many, many young people in a positive way," says Pantlik.

"If we don't put time and effort into nurturing these young people, who is going to take care of us someday?"

Wilderness jobs offered for students

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer

University of Central Oklahoma students have the opportunity to volunteer for conservation work in areas such as the Grand Canyon, the Great Smokey Mountains, Alaska and the Florida Keys.

The Student Conservation Association (SCA), a national organization based in Charlestown, N.H., is offering approximately 1000 expense-paid positions in the Resource Assistant Programs. The 12-week program provides experience in conservation, resource management and environmental education, said Lesley Schuler, SCA recruitment director.

Duties are available for students who enjoy recreation or working

with the public. Students can also work in areas that compliment their studies, she said.

"It takes a variety of talents and skills," she said.

Good communications skills are helpful to volunteers who lead tours, and knowledge of biology and zoology is beneficial to people doing research and studies, Schuler said.

People who enjoy working outdoors have the opportunity to build sections of trails and patrol rivers such as the Colorado River, she said.

The program includes living and travel expenses, housing and onthe-job training. Students might also be able to receive academic credit for participating in the program.

"It is a fairly competitive program, so the earlier you get your application in , the better your

chances are," Schuler said.

To increase the chance of acceptance, students should submit applications by Jan. 15 for the March and April program, Mar. 1 for May and July and June 1 for August and September.

Students who are interested can call (603) 543-1700 or write P.O. Box 550, Charlestown, N.H., 03603-0550 for an application and catalog listing the positions available.

The Student Conservation Association was started as a thesis project in 1957 by Liz Titus, a student at Vasser. The purpose of SCA was simply to provide the opportunity for people to become environmental stewards, Schuler said.

Internships will also be avail- , able in 1995.

New insurance offers more for less at UCO

By Roy Howe

Staff Writer Health, life, dental, vision and disability insurance coverage for full-time employees at the university recently became less expensive while offering more.

MassMutual and GroupAmerica superseded American Fidelity Jan. 1. who had insured the University of Central Oklahoma for seven years.

This move affects the health benefits of 940 full-time employees at the university and nearly 3,000 additional people from the other five colleges governed by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges.

Jeanette Patton, UCO employee benefits specialist, has said that the move has nothing to do with service.

"It's strictly economics and flexibility. We're just trying to get as much as we can for our dollars," she said.

Although the core of benefits have not changed from the past,

vision insurance is now part of the employee's basic package.

It was not in the past.

Another advantage to university employees includes a $50 reduction in their deductible.

Health claims now carry a $200 deduction.

Other rewards include dental insurance which can be purchased by the employee.

The new company also provides employees with options for their family such as dental, vision and a dependent life insurance policy that covers the entire family.

Disability insurance was also improved with the new carriers. TIAA/CREF provides the university's disability insurance with an option to buy down the waiting period for long-term disability eligibility.

In the past, the university's long-term disability coverage required a 180 day waiting period for disability benefits.

With the new coverage, employees with long-term coverage can buy-down to 90 days.

College grads moving for jobs

By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer With graduation always in the back of most students' minds, many college seniors wonder how and where they will find employment. Students have said they would like to live and work close to their families, but would move to other states to find good paying jobs, said Kathryn E. Greenlee, director of placement services at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Companies used to practice "onsight recruiting," said Greenlee.

"Unfortunately many large companies are downsizing and no longer send recruiters to universities to find new employees."

Small and mid-sized companies are doing the most hiring these days, and people, especially college graduates, are moving to areas where these companies are located, said Jerry Rordan, president of Ryder truck rentals.

"Companies looking for personnel want information on potential employees quickly. By using our Computer Registration System, we are able to give employers an on-sight database of available graduates," said Greenlee.

"Ryder dealers report that people are moving to find increasing economic growth, lower hOUSing costs and, of course, better paying jobs," said Rordan.

The top three most popular cities listed by Ryder Include Boise, Idaho, Nashville, Tenn. and Springfield, Mo. The most popular small towns listed by Ryder are Grand Junction, Colo., Jackson, Tenn. and Billings, Mont.

"Most graduates from UCO find work in Oklahoma, but I do remember one who found employment in Washington, D.C. We just don't have data on where our alumni have gone," said Greenlee.

Police arrest student; gun found A routine traffic violation turned into a tense situation for campus police officer Coy W. Gilbert. On Jan. 17 Anthony Vu, a UCO student, was arrested for three traffic violations and allegedly transporting a firearm.

According to Lt. Hayes Forbes of the campus police department, Vu was stopped by Gilbert on a violation of an expired inspection sticker. When the officer ran a check on the car tag it was discovered that the year decal was regis-

tered to another vehicle and had been put on the license plate with a magnet.

The car was marked for impoundment because state taxes on the vehicle were not current. When a vehicle is marked for impoundment a routine inventory search is done to record the contents of the vehicle.

Before doing the inventory search, Gilbert asked Vu if he had any contraband to declare. Vu answered that he had a gun and

reached under the seat for it.

At that point Gilbert pulled his own gun and took Vu into custody. Vu was taken to Oklahoma County jail.

Job search help available now Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer

The Career Development and Placement Service at the University of Central Oklahoma is holding Job Search sessions throughout the spring semester to teach the skills necessary to find a good job.

The free, one-hour sessions are held in the University Center and are full of information, explained Dr. Kathryn Greenlee, director of the Placement Service.

Resume writing is the topic for one of the sessions. This session teaches the prospective employees how to showcase their abilities.

"The resume brings you one step closer to the job," Greenlee said. "And it sets you apart."

Interviewing, the topic of another session, teaches the skills in

presenting oneself to the interviewer.

"Tricks of the trade," taught by Greenlee, helps the individual become more polished.

The interviewing session helps "bring down anxiety" from the pressure of the interview process, Greenlee explained.

The Job Search session teaches how and where to begin looking for the job that is best for the individual's skills. The end of the sessions are reserved for a question and answer time for past experiences to be shared and discussed.

Greenlee said that she encourages everyone to attend these sessions.

"A bachelor's degree is very important. However, you have to be able to present yourself in a manner that will best show your skills for the job," Greenlee said.

For more information contact Greenlee at 341-2980, Ext. 2241.

UCO's Wild Campus: In search of Oklahoma's wild College Senior Column

By Joe Umbarger Managing Editor

(Continued from last issue) On our search for College Seniors to study, Two-point and I see Financial Aid Vultures circling to the east. We decide to check it out.

Soon, we see the subject of the vultures' interest. A hungry pack of Sophomores has found a small herd of College Seniors, and four of the scraggly predators have isolated a lone female from the rest of the herd. Cut off from the others, she is confused and uncertain about what to do.

Unlike many similar predators, Sophomores seldom go for the jugular vein right away, but rather wear their quarry down first by snapping at the legs and tail, and by demanding old notes and test papers from sociology courses.

There is, of course, a tendency on our part to save the Senior from the Sophomores' attack.

After all, the Senior is an endangered species and the Sophomore is not, and we have a natural affinity for the underdog. However, to interfere in the natural order of predator and prey would be unwise. In good conscience we can do nothing except observe and hope the female gets away.

She does not. Although the female is larger and more powerful than the vicious Sophomores, she is no match for all four of them. Eventually, she stumbles and they bring her down.

After witnessing the pack of Sophomores bring down the Senior cow, Two-point and I decide to follow the rest of the herd, who appear to be headed in the general direction of Wolftrap, our original destination.

Along the way, we discover we have company.

Two-point notices several Security Jackels stalking us along our route. Their sleek, black and white coats are easily recognizable against the drab Oklahoma prairie.

Security Jackels can often be dangerous — quite vicious, at times. But today, the scavengers seem merely curious. We ignore them, and they soon lose all interest in us.

At Wolftrap, we finally get lucky. There are quite a few College Seniors here, some of whom will make excellent specimens for our study.
