Priest-killings net suspects 30 years SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — A judge on Friday sentenced an army colonel and a lieutenant to 30 years in prison for their role in the 1989 massacre of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter.

Judge Ricardo Zamora of the 4th Criminal Court also imposed suspended sentences of three years on three other officers, including a lieutenant colonel he found guilty of destroying evidence.

Those sentenced to 30 years were Col. Guillermo Benavides and Lt. Yusshy Rene Mendoza.

The priests and two women were killed on Nov. 16, 1989, at the Jesuitrun Central American University, where they lived. The slayings took place on the sixth day of a huge urban offensive by leftist rebels.

By Shene Murphy Staff Writer Marcie Barrett was very skeptical about entering pageants and never expected getting involved in one would be so much fun, but she said Saturday night at Mitchell Hall proved her wrong.

"People stereotype pageants all the time.

I used to, but if you just use everything you have it's a great experience," she said.

"I was very scared, but excited, and it is such an honor to win, but I'm most happy about winning the Director's Award," Barrett said.

The first person to inspire Barrett was Kay Creed, and she said she has many people to thank for supporting her.

"My family, my coach, Cheryl Mock, the music theater, and all my friends who stayed up until 4 a.m. asking me questions," she said.

Barrett is majoring in Music Theater, she also teaches beginning music theater at OnChore productions located in Edmond.

"I have been involved with music since I was ten years old," she said. "I would like to get my masters in music education, but I would like to pursue a career in theater before teaching.

Barrett received a $1000 tuition waiver, a diamond necklace, a hot air balloon ride, a $400 cash scholarship, a three-month membership at Strictly Fitness, a three-month membership at the YMCA, and a year of free hair care.

As Miss UCO of Edmond, she will receive a wardrobe allowance, and expenses to the Miss Oklahoma competition.

Student cases tried, verdicts reached

By Penny Owen Staff Writer Several Oklahoma County District Court cases which involved University of Central Oklahoma students have been resolved.

Following are the outcomes of those cases as given by the Oklahoma County Court Clerk's office: • Former UCO football quarterback Ben E. Morrison, Jr. pled guilty to two counts of assault and battery and one count of resisting arrest on Dec. 2.

Following a sentencing investigation, which took into consideration his background, Morrison received a one year suspended sentence with 30 days of that sentence to be served in the Oklahoma County Jail. Jail time was to begin Jan. 3. Morrison mist also pay $448.50 in court costs and fines.

The case stems from an Edmond arrest last April when Morrison was charged with striking two females with his fists and resisting arrest.

• Two students charged in the Labor Day credit card theft, which resulted in a twoday $6,900 shopping spree with a UCO student's stolen credit card last September, have submitted their pleas: Former UCO football player Clarence R. (Chuck) Sanders pled guilty on Jan. 8 to one count of forgery II and one count of posses-

sion of a taken credit card. He was handed a two-year deferred sentence, 40 hours community service and must pay $2,468.35 in restitution and $274 in court costs.

A deferred sentence means the case will be dismissed after the prescribed time if all court obligations are fulfilled and no other law violations are committed.

Former UCO football player Elton Rhoades pled not guilty to four counts of forgery II and one count of possession of a taken credit card. His pretrial is set for March 27.

• Two former UCO students who were arrested last October and November in an Edmond police drug sting operation have been charged as follows: Gregory Joseph McDaniel was charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance (CDS) with intent to distribute; maintaining a house where CDS is kept; and possession of drug paraphernalia. He has pled not guilty and awaits trial. Bonds posted were $10,500 on Nov. 7 and $10,500 on Nov. 21.

In a separate case filed Oct. 10, McDaniel was charged with distribution of CDS and posted a $5,000 bond on Oct. 22 and another $5,000 bond on Nov. 21.

A third case against McDaniel carries charges of conspiracy for unlawful distribution of CDS and distribution of CDS.

McDaniel pled not guilty and trial is set for April 4. Bond posted was $15,000 on Nov. 21.

Also charged in the drug sting was Eric Skidgel, who faces one count of distribution of CDS, but has not entered a plea. Skidgel was released from jail on Nov. 14 with a $5,000 bond.

A separate case against Skidgel charges him with one count of distribution of CDS. Skidgel posted a $10,000 bond and awaits a preliminary hearing on Jan. 30.

• After pleading guilty at a Dec. 17, 1991 preliminary hearing on charges of embezzlement by an employee or in the alternative grand larceny, Miss Black UCO 1991 Leonie Calhoun was handed a two-year deferred sentence and paid $152 in court costs.

• Miss Black UCO 1991 first runner-up Sherita Montgomery pled guilty to felony larceny of merchandise on Sept. 6, and was handed a two year suspended sentence and 40 hours of community service.

• Former UCO track team member James Earl Powell pled guilty to one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on Jan. 17. Powell was handed a threeyear deferred sentence. He was also sentenced to 40 hours community service and must pay $227 in court costs.

Powell's case resulted from the Oct. 10 shooting of former UCO football player Jerome Muckle at an Edmond apartment complex. V

GPA's for SGA should not fall

W

hile many campus organizations and colleges are raising their grade point average requirements, the Student Government Association was presented with Resolution 91-204 on Monday, which proposed to lower the minimum GPA requirement of its executive officers from 2.5 to 2.0.

Considering the SGA members are labeled as "the best and the brightest," it is only logical to assume the SGA officers are "the best of the best and the brightest." It is ridiculous that the GPA requirements of these individuals should be lowered. They should, if anything, be raised.

At press time it was revealed that the continuum committee gave the resolution a "no pass" vote and SGA President Peter Regan said, "not only do we have the responsibility to lead in the senate and our social lives, we must also lead in the classroom. I am against 91-204."

Hopefully, the authors of this resolution will respect the opinions of the continuum committee, their president and The Vista, and let Resolution 91-204 die the quick death it deserves.

Is there life after college

I

n the face of today's recession, which feels more like a depression, many students at the University of Central Oklahoma may be wondering "Where do we go from here?"

If they think the answer is the UCO placement office they may be terribly mistaken.

The placement office director has said that the mistake many students make is beleiving the office functions as an employment agency and can actually help them get a job.

It cannot.

The sad fact is, when someone graduates from this institute of higher learning they are on their own. All the placement office provides is a set of books with the names and addresses of companies who might, and the operative word is might, have a job opening.

The time has come when the university administrators, should realize the students need help. If a student finishes four years, graduates, and can't find a job, the student has simply wasted his time and lined the pockets of the administration.

What is needed is a course titled, "Life after college.

What are you going to do now?"

Protest of possible sexual policy fter reading the sexual coduct article in the Jan. 21 Vista, I felt cornpelle to write regarding the reference to a "rule" limiting romance between supervisors and their subordinates.

While I agree that such a relationship is difficult to foresee, I would like to say that I don't believe any supervisor (or faculty member, for that matter) purposely sets out to "fall in love" with his/her subordinate. Ro-

A

mance is not something one decides to do as if deciding to wear a particular dress or suit for the day.

It develops on its own and in its own way and time. Further, what goes on in the privacy of one's own home is not the business of UCO administration. If two such people have a relationship AND are able to keep it out of the workplace, then it should be the concern of no one. UCO's authority should not extend beyond the conduct in the workplace.

Such situations can be difficult to handle properly, but two consenting adults should be adult enough to conduct themselves with discretion, decency and respect for others.

I would like to respectfully suggest that UCO administration, however well-meaning, please not pry into the private lives of its faculty/staff members. This smacks of unconstitutionality.

Male responds to charges

I

would like to respond to the individual who compla fined about the school being sexually discriminatory in their hiring practices.

You said that you could do a "little typing" and that you knew a few computer languages. That characterizes not only most of the Computer Science students on this campus, but also a good portion of the Math and Business students as well. Those skills, my friend,

don't single you out. Since nearly all of the jobs on campus require little more than knowledge of WordPerfect, you don't seem to be a worthy candidate since you have already stated that your typing skills are limited.

You also said that you feel you didn't get the job because you are male. I don't know about you, but the rest of the world would choose a female with quick fmgers over a man that can do a "little typing."

It's very simple: The jobs you applied for are secretarial, so the quick fmgers are going to win out every time. It doesn't matter what sex you are. I know. I'm the secretary for the Safety Education Department, and I'm a male.

Have a nice day!

—Damon Aaron —Secretary, Safety Education

Charges off-target, student says

I

would like to submit my following response to the person who feels that there is sexual discrimination in the hiring practices of this university.

In response to "Male sees sexual discrimination."

I don't know all of the factors that have led you to believe the way that you do, but I feel that your accusation may be unfounded.

During the summer session of `91, I responded to an ad in the Sunday Oklahoman's classifieds.

It was not until I talked to the Personnel Office that I realized that the position was for morning, and not afternoon, which would not

work out with my class schedule.

The staff of the Personnel Office were very pleasant and polite.

They didn't turn me away, but instead suggested that I apply for regular student employment. Before that day I thought that the only student employment was for the work-study program.

I looked at the list of available positions that were business and clerical oriented. Because I was already prepared to apply and possibly interview--professional appearance and resume in hand--I proceeded to respond to the positions of interest to me.

The first one I answered had me to take a typing test and to speak

with the person who would be my superior. As I spoke with that person, they were impressed with the number of skills and experiences I had acquired in comparison to my age of 18.

I was approved for the position and have been working here since the beginning of the fall semester.

I have been very satisfied with the treatment I have received. This is the first time that I have ever heard of any student who was sexually discriminated against while applying for employment at this university.

ATO's get around

By Sam Powell

Staff Writer The Alpha Tau Omega Chapter at the University of Central Oklahoma has made community service a part of their credo.

ATO President Peter Regan said that as part of Help Week, which ended Friday, the Greek's gave a helping hand to five community organizations.

"Help Week has been done nationwide since 1954," Regan said.

"We went to the HOPE Center and sorted food, we adopted a street, adopted Mr. Taylor from the Oklahoma Christian Home, and we're going to give blood and visit the Edmond Association for Retarded Citizens."

On Friday, ATO members helped add a little joy to the life of Arnold Taylor, a spry, articulate man who is 79 years young.

Arnold was born March 20, 1912 in Elk City. He said that as a boy he spent his summers in Ed-

mond working at Van's, a restaurant formerly located near McCall's downtown. He retired as a real estate broker in Oklahoma City and still owns property near Memorial Road.

Betty Alters, communications director at the Oklahoma Christian Home, said Taylor was a welcome addition although he did not receive many visitors.

"He hasn't been here very long, but he's a delightful man," she said. "He is so precious."

As the nearly 20 ATO members escorted Taylor through the halls of the center, one of his friends asked if they were all his sons.

"No, but they are going to make me president of their club," he said with a laugh.

Regan said they hope to make Taylor's social life more active by continued, frequent visits. On Friday they took him to a movie. He asked to see "JFK," and to dinner at Braum's. Next week ATO will initiate him as an honorary member. V

Breast implants to heighten Fair

By Roger Groce

Staff Writer Human brains and breast implants are only a few of the exhibits the Second Annual Health Fair is bringing to the University of Central Oklahoma campus, said Health Fair Committee Chairman, Craig Murray.

Sponsored by the Pre-Med Health Professions Club, the fair will feature about 33 exhibitors from almost every area of the health profession, Murray said.

"If anybody is considering a ca-

reer in medicine they can explore every avenue with this," Murray said.

Last year approximately 26 schools participated, Murray said.

The Health Fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Jan. 29, in the University Center, Ballroom C. A few of the health professions represented this year are veterinary medicine, nursing, forensic science, dentistry and chemical dependence.

The club's sponsor, Dr. Peggy Guthrie, is expecting a good turnout, she said.

"It gives students a chance to see what health professions are available in our area and find out about requirements and applications," Guthrie said.

Area hospital and university administrators will be available to answer student questions about careers in health and medicine.

"Anything that deals with the body, life and death," will be covered, Murray said. "We want to provide a network of friends, kind of a support group.

Math, science dean doubles as ballroom dancer, model

By Marcia Benedict

Copy Editor

Chemistry department to hold annual program for future scientists

By Roger Groce

Staff Writer In the center of the immaculate, gray office in the old science building, Dr. G. Kay Owens sits wearing a black and white striped dress with a cherry red, silk scarf wrapped around her neck and silver jewelry dangling from her ears. "My modeling helps me to stay up to date with clothing and styles," she said, in a very distinct manner.

Owens, dean of the college of mathematics and science at the University of Central Oklahoma, said she never takes her work home with her, but instead models and dances after a full day in her small, but comfortable office.

"Keeping concerns and demands of the office, at the office, is important to me," she said.

Fashion modeling and ballroom dancing currently occupy her spare time, she said.

As she sat in her chair with a posture as straight as an ironing board, she described her experiences at different modeling agencies.

"I have done ramp shows at various malls, and have participated in the Red Earth fashion show at the festival," Owens said. "I like to be a mannequin."

When she is not acting as a mannequin, Owens said she is learning the art of ballroom dancing.

"Ballroom dancing is new and exciting for me. I usually spend at least two nights each week as a student," she said.

After growing up in Caddo, a small Oklahoma town of about 1,000 people, Owens attended Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant and graduated with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. She then completed her master's and doctorate degrees at Oklahoma State University.

"For about three years, while I was completing my doctorate, I drove from my home in Marshall to Central State, which is about 45 miles, to teach my classes, then I drove 55 miles to go to school at OSU and then I would drive about 35 miles to go home. I loved being a student," Owens said.

"In today's society, a lack of good women role models exists, but I don't consider myself to be an oddity. I have been through all the ranks, served on many committees, and now am in my fourth year as dean," she said.

Although she is now a member of the administration, Owens continues her studies as a student.

Owens said she is currently researching women's areas of expertise and success in higher education administration positions.

"The research deals with issues faced by women, and shows that failure can be caused by not planning ahead," she said.

As dean, Owens supervises seven departments within the college: biology, chemistry, physics,

The economic factors that contribute to the less than 1 percent unemployment rate for industrial chemists will be one of the many topics discussed at the industrial scientist and engineering program, to be held at the University of Central Oklahoma, Feb. 6 and 7.

The UCO Chemistry Department will host the annual program, that will be held at Howell Hall, which gives students insight into the working industrial world, said Dr. Fred Grosz, department chairman.

Dr. Snehal Patel, a chemical engineer with the Shell Development Co., will be the guest lecturer, Grosz said.

The program is coordinated and sponsored by the Industrial Research Institute, Inc., a group of 260 member companies representing approximately 85 percent of the research and development expenditures in the private sector in the United States.

Topics at the conference will include chemists' responsibilities, various employment opportunities, employers' qualifications for employees, and extra needed skills, such as mathematics or marketing, Grosz said.

"I hope students will get, at the very least, an appreciation for the role chemical engineering plays in the preparation of chemical products on a commercial scale," Grosz said.

Tennis teams return with aces in the hole

By Justin Harper

Sports Editor

The Central Oklahoma tennis teams are having great expectations for the upcoming season.

The men are returning three AllAmerica candidates and begin the season ranked eighth in the NCAA-II south region. The women have five returning starters and two talented newcomers.

Leading the way for the men will be junior, Jong Demonteverde, who will come into the season ranked No.3 in NCAA-II. Alongside Demonteverde will be All-America hopefuls Steve Hedrick and Mick Evans. Evans will team with Demonteverde in doubles, which could be one of the top duo's in the country. The Bronchos' other players expected to contribute are transfer Alex Perea, who was the No.1 player at West Texas St. last year, Hank Pellegrini a national qualifier in

Steve Hedrick

doubles last season, Joe Vo and walk-on Quan Tran.

For the women, sophomore Amy Cohlmia returns and enters the season ranked No.14 in NCAA-II. Cohlmia will try and improve on last years exellent season, where she qualified for the National Championships.

Look on the court. It's bird. It's a plane. No, it's just Central Oklahoma's Alex Wright gliding in for another fast-break basket.

The mild-mannered Wright is on pace to shatter the scool's single season scoring record, in addition to picking up a few individual honors along the way. And while it's no secret that Wright has emeged as an All-Ameirica candidate, his tenacious attitude on the court disappears when he walks off the floor.

"I try not to make too much noise," sad Wright, a 6-2, 180-pound junior guard from Stratford, Conn. "I prove myself on the court, not in public by being cocky."

Wright said his soft-spoken manner wouldn't prevent him from wreaking havoc on the court, which he hopes will lead UCO to the Lone Star Conference championship and a national playoff appearance.

Fifth-year Broncho coach Jim Seward agrees that Wright's easygoing personality isn't typical of a player who dominates the sport as he does, but he said there is no questioning his ability.

"Alex has a sense of easiness about him," Seward said. "'Quiet' is a good way to describe him'.

Wright, in just 16 games with the Bronchos, is the first player in UCO history to score 35 or more points in at least four games. He set a school record with a 51-point effort on Dec. 18 against Panhandle State.

But Wright's accomplishments this season have hardly been surprising when compared with his past performances.

As a prepster, Wright led Warren Harding High School in Stratford to three consecutive state championships, earning All-State and McDonald's All-America honors in the process.

At Navarro (Texas) College, Wright garnered all-conference honors both seasons, averaging 25 points and seven rebounds a game last year on a team that led the nation's jucos with a scoring average of 116 points a game.

Now at UCO, Wright has become one of the country's top NCAA II players, averaging 25.8 points and 6.9 rebounds a game for the high-scoring Bronchos.

Seward said Wright's talent was never in question.

"Alex's performance has been no surprise," Seward said. "The surprise has been his effort. That's his number one asset. Obviously, he has a lot of ability, but he contributes in all phases of the game -scoring, rebounding, defense and his ability to get up and down the floor," Wright says he will pursue a coaching career if he doesn't get a shot at playing professionally.

"My first and most improtant concern is to get a degree," said Wright, who was named to the UCO Athletic Director's Honor Roll for the fall semester with a 3.46 grade point average.

Wright said he already knows what values he would instill in his players -- the same values taught to him by his parents and high school coach.

"I would tell them to always

Alex Wright

work hard in everything and give 100 percent," Wright said. "And although they may not succeed, if they have given 100 percent, then I feel like they've succeeded anyway, That's what I've learned."

Writer retraces 'trail'

By Pam Thurman

Staff Writer Jerry Ellis, a former student of the University of Central Oklahoma's creative studies program, has written an account of his two month walk from Oklahoma to Alabama retracing the Trail of Tears.

The book entitled "Walking The Trail: One Man's Journey Along the Cherokee Trail of Tears" was written because of Ellis' dissatisfaction with his life as a script writer in Hollywood, five years ago.

"Hollywood's rejection of a Cherokee script I had written drove me to search my heart and soul, and at that point I decided to walk the Trail of Tears," Ellis said.

"It just took me three years to get up enough guts to do it."

Ellis, who attended UCO during the early 1970's, commended Dr. Clifton Warren, now dean of the college of liberal arts, on his hard work in getting the creative studies program off the ground.

"It certainly helped launch me on my writing career," he said.

Ellis said he discovered his interest in writing when he met the woman who would later become his wife.

"I used to write her poems and send them by the mail instead of letters. It was then, I realized a lot of the things I felt could be communicated through words," he said.

The 900 mile journey was Ellis' effort to "honor the dead and celebrate the living," he said.

"After the first week the writing was so natural that I realized I could probably come close to covering what had happened," he said.

Ellis' book is filled with stories of the many people he met along the trail and the specific ways they influenced his life.

"The Indians that I have met in America, particularly the Cherokee, are truly very gentle, sensitive, intuitive people, both men and women," he said.

Kitten finds home at KCSC radio

By Pam Thurman

Staff Writer Scherzo is defined in the dictionary as a lively musical movement. At KCSC, a public radio station housed on the campus of the University of Central Oklahoma, Scherzo is defined as a lively, five-monthold, black and white kitten.

Scherzo is the third cat to belong on the staff of KCSC. Dusty, the original feline to make the station its home, came in 1985 and lived there until the summer of 1991 when he died from what Donna Nordgren, KCSC's secretary

believes may have been poisoning.

"We're not really sure, we think he was poisoned, maybe by some pesticide or herbicide or something in the grass. He became sick and died within the course of just a few hours," Nordgren said.

The next cat, Opus, disappeared after two and a half days. Nordgren said the staff called the Edmond Animal Shelter trying to locate him and were told there was a cat matching his description, black with white feet and white whiskers, and a very friendly personality.

"It was not Opus, but he

(Scherzo) had so much personality, and wanted out of his cage so desperately, we decided we couldn't leave him there," she said.

Scherzo is a cat with some unusual quirks, Nordgren said.

She described him as a very vocal cat with a penchant for berry flavored yogurts. He also likes to lick the insides of chewing gum wrappers and is very partial to bacon, egg and cheese biscuits from McDonald' s .

"He adds a lot to the life of the station. He makes even the most mundane job interesting," Nordgren said. V

Mystical spirit leads to inner identities

By Penny Owen Staff Writer Among the glut of support groups, feel-good advice and motivational talk about how to live happily ever after, there is one school of thought that exists in the shadows, often under ridicule and misunderstanding.

The mystical spirit — an ingredient within everyone — can lead the willing to peace and contentment, said Director of the Inner Peace Movement., Inc., Dorie Hansen, during an introductory seminar last week in Oklahoma City.

The goal is to find a balance between a person's intellect and feelings. With that balance comes self-confidence, leadership ability and, ultimately, inner satisfaction, Hansen said.

To achieve this a person must first grasp their inner identity, which means discovering their auras. An aura is an energy field surrounding a person which characterizes their personality type, Hansen said.

Auras also reveal a person's communication style, Hansen said. Four styles of auras exist:

• Intuitive: They are born leaders; their understanding comes by learning clear-cut facts rather than listening to feelings; they are hardworking and void of heavy emotion.

• Prophetic: Usually night owls, they are creative, artistic with a tendency to start many projects, but leave some unfinished.

• Visionaries: Perfectionists fall into this category. They are prone to focus on the appearance of people and things; they think in pictures and are organized with a good memory.

• Feeling: They have strong hunches, even premonitions.

They are patient, with an ability to get impressions of people by holding objects in their hands. They often need instructions to begin tasks.

Hansen said that people use all communication styles, but some emphasize one more than the other. Knowing what type of style fits whom means learning how to effectively communicate with that person.

By Shene Murphy Staff Writer The International Office will have a representative from the Social Security Office process applications for social security cards and will also sponsor an Immigration Seminar this week, said Jalal Daneshfar, activities coordinator, for the international student office.

In order to apply for a card a birth certificate or a driver's license is required. International students need to bring a passport and the 1-20 immigration form.

The seminar will deal with international students who are only allowed on-campus employment, Daneshfar said.

"The new law has changed since 1990, and it provides that international students can work off campus, according to their eligibility," he said.

The seminar will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, in the University Center, Room 404, in the Council Room.

The social security representative will issue applications from 1 to 3 p.m., Friday, in the Administration Building, Room 226, and the cards will be mailed within two to three weeks. V

Job growth beats national figures OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Manufacturers' and processors' announced investments in new and expanded plants in Oklahoma totaled $310 million last year, the state Commerce Department says.

Commerce officials said Wednesday that 2,424 jobs would result from the 45 new plants, and 2,526 jobs from the 80 plant expansions.

Job growth in Oklahoma, particularly in manufacturing, has surpassed the national average for three years, Commerce Director Greg Main said.

Cosell hears fat lady tuning up NEW YORK (AP) -- Howard Cosell will retire from ABC at the end of January after nearly 40 years in broadcasting, the ABC Radio Network said today.

Cosell, who left television in 1984 after quitting ABC's "Monday Night Football" in disgust, had done a daily sportscast "Speaking of Sports" and was host of a weekly half-hour interview program, "Speaking of Everything," on radio.

"Howard has done a tremendous job in a wide variety of roles in both radio and television," said Shelby Whitfield, ABC Radio Sports director and executive producer. He is a pioneer in broadcasting who deserves to be in every broadcasting hall of fame."

Cosell gave up a career in law to go into broadcasting in 1953 with ABC Radio. He was a commentator on "Monday Night Football" for 14 years before quitting with the words: "Pro football has become a stagnant bore."

DALLAS (AP) - The fight came long before any words did. The message was in the buttians.

Gay rights advocates, sporting "Equal Opportunity" buttons and fluorescent pink inverted triangles, sat for hours Wednesday night next to conservatives wearing "(No) Homo Cops" buttons at a Dallas City Council meeting examining Dallas Police policy of banning homosexuals from the force.

One speaker drew raucous applause when he challenged Dallas to "come into the 20th century" and change the hiring policy, He was one of several residents who went to the podium before testimony began - almost four hours late to record support or opposition to police policy.

Several speakers linked the struggle of homosexuals to the civil rights struggle of blacks and Hispanics, which at one point drew jeers from the audience.

Televangelist Tilton targeted in consumer fraud investigations DALLAS (AP) - Television evangelist Robert Tilton has been asked to provide state investigators with documentation of how some money mailed to his ministry is spent.

The office of Texas Attorney General Dan Morales said it has asked Tilton for dozens of financial records and other documents in its probe of consumer fraud violations at Tilton's Word of Faith ministry, based in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch.

The Consumer Protection Division asked for documents including tax and credit card records, canceled checks, property lists and promotions materials.

The office, in a letter dated Jan. 10, also requested testimonials or complaints from people who have sent money or anything else of value to the Farmers Branch church or to Tilton.

The state and federal governments began investigations of Tilton's ministry in November after the ABC news show "PrimeTime Live" aired a segment showing prayer requests discarded behind a Tulsa, Okla,, dumpster.

"All of this will depend upon what the city council decides concerning a bond issue of $18 million," he said. "We're looking at all kinds of locations."

But Eagle said management of the facility would have to remain under the city's jurisdiction.

"The fear is that the University has such a great need, that it would dominate it," Eagle said. V
