WORLO WRAP OPEC may lower oil production; weak prices cited ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The president of OPEC Tuesday proposed reducing the cartel's oil production beginning March 1 to shore up weak oil prices. "All the countries I visited during the present tour stressed total support and deep understanding of the current situation on the market," Alirio Parra said after meeting with Yousef bin Omeir, oil minister for the United Arab Emirates. Parra, however, did not specifically say whether the UAE had accepted his call for the production cut.
A dropout by any other name ... JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A dropout by any other name — "early leaver," for example — is just silly, the state Board of Education says. The board Monday proposed abandoning the term "early leaver" to describe a student who quits school before graduating. "It's more education jargon," said Harry Gamble, an Education Department administrator. "The public knows what a dropout is." "Early leaver" was adopted four years ago to conform to what many other states and the federal government were using.
'Big 3' plan suit NEW YORK (AP) — Detroit's Big Three au tomakers plan to ask for punitive duties on all imported cars, a move that could boost sticker prices thousands of dollars, The New York Times said, today. The newspaper, citing unidentified sources, said Ford Motor Co., General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp. will file a complaint charging that foreign automakers are selling cars for less in the United States than on their own soil. The Times said the American manufacturers are amassing thousands of pages of evidence in support of a complaint they plan to file with the Commerce Department within three weeks.

Oklahoma regents want less spending and better services By Roy Howe Staff Writer While the State Regents for Higher Education praise Oklahoma colleges and universities for spending less on administrative functions than other public institutions throughout the nation, they are calling for the state's 25 institutions of higher learning to examine means to further cut administrative costs and improve services. According to data provided to the state regents, the University of Central Oklahoma's administrative costs totaled $4.8 million for fiscal year 1991-92. This amounted to 11.7 percent of the university's educational and general budget (E&G), the sole source for administrative money. Administrative expendatures comprise institutional support and data processing for institutional support. The E&G budget is created from student tuition, most student fees and state appropriations. Jeanie Edney, public information director for the state regents, said Governor David Walters recently addressed Hans Brisch, chancellor to the state regents, suggesting spending caps for the administrations of institutions of higher learning. For their study, the state regents placed Oklahoma institutions in three categories: comprehensive universities which include the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, the 10 four-year universities and the 13 two-year colleges. "...The Governor recommended administrative expense targets at ten percent for the comprehensive universities, twelve percent at the fouryear universities and fourteen percent at the two-year universities," Edney said. During FY '92, administrative costs for the comprehensive institutions averaged 10 percent of their E&G budgets with OU's at 9 percent and OSU's at 11 percent. On the average, 12 percent of the E&G budget was spent by administrations of the four-year universities during FY '92, while the twoyear colleges averaged 16 percent of their

E&G budget going towards administrative costs during FY '92. Oklahoma State University's administration topped the two comprehensive universities in 1992 with an 11 percent chunk out of their E&G budget totaling $13 million. Of the 10 four-year universities, The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma spent the highest portion of their E&G budget, (20 percent) towards administrative costs during FY '92. Southwestern Oklahoma State University ranked the lowest in administrative costs during FY '92 using 8 percent of their E&G budget.

Seminole Junior College topped the 13 two-year colleges, spending 24 percent of their E&G budget on administrative costs, while Rose State spent 13.30 during FY '92 for administrative costs, the lowest percentage of the two-year institutes. "Compared to their counterparts, our colleges and universities are holding the line on administrative costs, but we must do better," he said. "We must tighten up and pare down until we are absolutely certain that we are operating at the

This man's life forever changed America and its people A man that contributed to the freedom to the imprisoned died last Sunday. Some say he was a fighter. Others say that civil rights in this country would be much different. One thing can certainly be said for Thurgood Marshall, retired Justice of the Supreme Court, is he was a true champion of this country. He played a major role in its history with lasting effects that every person in some form or another comes in contact with Justice Marshall's work. The public schools system as we know it today is largely due to Marshall's work for desegregation. Marshall was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1967 and retired in 1991. His 24 year stint as a Supreme Court Justice gave him a reputation of a leader in the fight for desegregation of schools and advancement of civil rights for minorities and the poor. Marshall is better known for his work before becoming a Justice. As a lawyer, Marshall successfully argued in the highest court in the land the landmark case Brown vs. Board of Education which overturned racial segregation in public schools. In the 23 years Marshall spent as legal director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and his tenure as the federal governments solicitor general, he argued 32 cases before the Supreme Court. He won 29. Marshall was an excellent lawyer and champion for better things for all men and women. During his work for equal rights, Marshall faced many hostile courtrooms and angry crowds. He never faltered and stood up and argued for what he believed in. Only a few men in history can claim the perseverance the Marshall had. America was fortunate to experience Marshall and forever will be better for it. The great-grandson of a slave died at age 84. Although America lost a great patriot, Marshall lives today in many facets of our society.

Student discusses parking situation lease allow me to enumerate my concerns in regards to the proposed parking lots. To begin, other than the first two or three weeks of each semester, parking isn't really a problem here if we're talking strictly about the quantity of spaces. Yes you may have to park out in the east forty to find a spot but you will find one. As was pointed out in The Vista last semester during the scheduled grip fest, no building on campus is more than a ten-minute walk from any parking spot. If we are speaking of the distances or the lack of paving on those spill over lots, then I say they're just some of life's little inconveniences and similar problems await us each day. I would, however, be more than willing to pay fees to increase and maintain the police call boxes that are currently being implemented. Whomever came up with that idea gets and deserves my appreciation. Why do we wait until someone is harmed to consider safety? Next, I wish to call attention to the point of who pays for the proposed parking lots. In the Jan. 19 edition of The Vista, Teri Harzheim reports that Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration, says commuters will have to pay the fees to be levied. Campus police chief Bobby Roberts says that 80 percent of the proposed new spaces will probably be for commuters. Does anyone else see the problem here? Why just commuters? Staff, faculty, and residents will also benefit from the proposal, albeit not as directly since they already get the choice parking spots, shouldn't they also
p
share in the cost. Before the staff and faculty voice complaint about that, let me note that if you go somewhere like downtown Oklahoma City and you compete for a scarce resource, parking, then you pay accordingly. I do applaud any efforts to get the unessential cars from the interior quarters of the campus out into the exterior and convert those interior areas to building, landscaping, and pedestrian use. If parking here is getting scarce, why should some have to pay for a lesser service that others getting better service seem to get for free? In that same vein I even go so far as to question the reasoning behind the principle of the segregation of the parking lots. If America is a classless society, and who really believes that, shouldn't students, staff, faculty and administrators alike be served on an equal basis. Perhaps this is just one of our subtle ways to inform those who should know their place to keep it, and to reward those of greater stature with privilege. Of course this is not to say that handicap, fire, visitor, and loading zones should be r_1 _ with. Just apply more equitable treatment of all persons equally deserving and equally important. And finally here, shouldn't the structure of any fees levied for parking be on some type of per use calculation like so many other fees are? Perhaps some base amount that 'all' would pay and then an additional, if we must single out student commuters, fee tied to the number of class hours attending. That should seem fair to the working student only taking minimal
classes and to the full-load cornmuter too. Well, fair in the sense that division of the parking pecking order would at least pay equitably among themselves. For my last exception, I would like to take issue with some points in the editorial ofJan. 19. If we're going to compare the parking rates of other schools with ours then do we not have to relate that back to my earlier analogy about the scarcity issue? Student enrollment numbers do not indicate the number of cars that will be on campus at one time. Class scheduling probably has more to do with that than anything else. As any professor in the mathematics department could tell you, the figures rarely are clear in this type of subjective problem. (Dr. Chen is marvelous at showing how statistics can be used to skew a viewpoint.) No, I would not agree that landscaping is poorly lacking at UCO. Quite the contrary, I believe the grounds keepers do a superb job of making this a beautiful campus year round. Acknowledging that an editorial is just one person's opinion, do you not feel it's belittling, to those in disagreeement of a position,to imply that they are bellyaching and those who agree are cheering'? Had you been against the proposals, which would you say you were doing? Perhaps a more objective individual would simply have conceded that opinions will vary and would simply have welcomed that variety.

Which God are you talking about? f you can stand one more letter on homosexuality, I would like to respond to both Donna Banks and Will Andrews. First, to both of you, please curb your anger. While I didn't see the article by Candice Roy, it is obvious you were upset by her comments. As for me, I don't know, nor do I care what your sexual preferences are, but I would love an opportunity to sit down and have a rational talk with you about moral, and physical aspects of the subject. But please, in the future, look into the validity of a statement before you repeat it for wide public consumption. For instance Donna, before you suggest that someone read up on the medical information on homosexuality, do so yourself. When you do, you will find that the only thing the EXPERTS agree on is that they don't know. But, they do know that the sexual determination of all living things is in the DNA/RNA and that there isn't any evidence of human beings being born to prefer copulation with their own sex over the opposite sex. On the other hand, you are
I
partly correct in your surmise that God did not create homosexuality to punish people. In fact, He didn't create it at all. When Adam fell from grace, it was as a result of his treason against God, in favor of Satan. It was Satan who invented the sins that became an abomination to God and caused the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. As for your comments Will, it would appear that perhaps you read Donna' s article from the week before and decided to expand on what she had to say. At least you paraphrased her a couple of times, such as variations on the "your rights end where my nose begins" theme, and the idea that God invented sin to punish man. God created man, not a puppet. Sin is man's choice. But, the real problem is the taking out of context of the quote. You quote a half statement, "God gave them over to shameful lust.." This thought is reiterated several times in the Bible. The time that comes immediately to mind is from the 81st Psalm. The complete thought begins with verse 11 and says, "But, my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would have none of me. So I gave them up
unto their own hearts lust: and they walked in their own counsels." You did have a few thoughts of your own though, even if you were a bit lax in researching your subjects. But, the first thing you did was to try to group all the social and moral ills of the world under one banner and blame it on religion. Well, if I read correctly, Candice was not speaking of religion, but of faith in an omnipotent God. This brings us to your question; which God? You named several possibilities, but only four of the seven you named are Gods. And guess what. They are all four just different names for the same God. Yahweh, and Jehovah are two of the many forms of the name of the God of Abraham. Christ is another word for Messiah, or the promised deliverer of Israel, and according to the Christian faith, was personified by a man called Jesus. This makes him part of the triune Godhead, another manifestation of the same God. Of all the religions of the world, only one of the Christian faith would look at you with compassion. Think about it. —

MIS option now available for business majors By Joy McNutt Student Writer Spring 1993 is the first semester University of Central Oklahoma students will be able to graduate with a bachelor of arts degree in business, with a management information systems option. Previously, the closest option to MIS was a computer science option. MIS, however, is more than computers. It is computing and communications technology such as voice mail, optical readers, inventory, purchasing, accounting, networking, operating systems and other computer software and hardware technology. With the increasing importance of information in today's world, managing information becomes more complex, said William F. Morey, Ph.D. , assistant professor of decision sciences at UCO. MIS option is necessary to the business community because it bridges the gap between the computer people and the business people, Morey said. The gap exists because of the differences in perspective and personality traits of business and computer people. Computer people view information systems from the inside out. Their main concern is to turn out the best design, said Morey. Because of the intensity of focus required in writing computer programs, computer people tend to be more machine oriented and less people oriented, said Dr. Linda Behrens, associate professor of decision sciences at UCO. Business people look at information systems from the outside in, Morey said. They see the information system as a tool and are concerned with its use in their particular business. The job of the MIS person is, "showing people how to effectively use computers in respect to their particular business problem," said Morey. MIS is not just teaching software packages, Behrens said.
MIS people are supposed to understand what the business person needs and what system will fit those needs, said Behrens. The MIS person should also be able to tell the business person if what he visualizes is not feasable. "MIS people do program, but if the tool has already been invented, we definitlely use it," said Behrens. When questioned about what type of person would be a likely candidate for the MIS option B.A..degree, Behrens said, "Only the people that like change; only the people that have the ability to communicate regardless of the background of the other person." She also said they have to be adaptable and well-rounded. They have to have a sense of humor. And, she said, they need to be the kind of person who likes to get out, find and check. Starting salary in the MIS field in the Oklahoma City area is around $25,000 to $30,000 per year said Linda Garton, human resources manager for Applied Intellegence Group, an MIS consulting firm in Edmond. She said what they look for in a potential employee fresh from college is a high grade point average, leadership in school projects and knowledge of C computer programming language. MIS personnel in consulting can expect to work about 50 hours per week, sometimes more toward the end of a project. "Whatever it takes to get the job done," Garton said. An MIS career can mean being on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, Bob Austin, academic adviser at UCO said. The College of Business Administration considers MIS so important that all business majors are required to take the introductory course, Management Information Systems. The MIS option is an effort to keep abreast of changing need in business, Austin said. He said the MIS option is gaining popularity, estimating that a ball-park figure of 50-100 students are interested.

The album came about when Richard Walther, a long time fan of Urbach's vocal talent, decided that hearing her rendition of Ave Maria only occasionally in a church simply wouldn't do. Walther put up a portion of the initial backing necessary for the recording, and Urbach went to work on the original arrangements and orchestration. Urbach indicated that she felt good enough about the success of the album to start working on the next one, which will consist of Stephen Foster selections. "I'm going away next week to do the arrangements and working on finding a backer for the next one," Urbach said. Urbach said her next album should be due out later this year.

Bills and 'Boys to Battle in the Bowl LOS ANGELES (AP) — Less than two minutes into the third period of their first playoff game, the Buffalo Bills were history, not ready to make history. They were without hope and bound for an early vacation. Just ride out the rest of the rout, which had reached 35-3 in Houston's favor, Lmd disappear. No AFC title. No Super Bowl appearance. No way. Then something happened that stunned observers and maybe even shocked the Bills. They staged the biggest comeback in NFL annals and, improbably, are right back where they seem to belong. "Anybody who was in our position, down 35-3, there's no way you think you'll come back," Bills receiver Andre Reed said Monday. "You hope to make it close, respectable, not be run out at home." Buffalo won at home, won at Pittsburgh, won at Miami and won convincingly. The key, of course, was the turnaround against the Oilers. "We had to dig down deep, something I've always said we've been able to do, but some people weren't sure," added linebacker Darryl Talley. "We were sure we could do it," So sure that, as they crept closer, each of the Bills began to sense something different. It was maturity," Reed said "We came together as a football team. It took a lot of individual efforts and determination to win that game. "This team has been through a lot. We're not a team of destiny, just the Buffalo Bills trying to win some games and, regardless of how we win them, we're here."

So are the Dallas Cowboys, who can't point to any specific turning points on the way to their first NFC title since 1978. Or won't point to any. "I knew once Coach Johnson got there, things would get rolling and kicking and he would bring in the kind of players he wanted," said Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin, who played for Johnson at the University of Miami. "I knew we'd have a well-conditioned, disciplined team. "Even when we were 1-15 (in 1989), I could see we were on our way. It was a case of, `We've got to fill this or take care of this.' We just didn't have enough players to go through four quarters competitively. So that was when things turned around, Michael? When Johnson was hired, the Cowboys began their near-meteoric rise? "It was important," Irvin said. "But there were a lot of important things that got us here." There were 46 trades, dozens of free-agent signings, untolled back-room maneuvers. There were sacrifices. There was criticism from every corner of Texas — and America, for this was America's Team that had gone down the tubes. "We released some players that might have helped us win one more game or two more games. We traded our only Pro Bowl player (Herschel Walker). By knowing we were going to have a bad football team we were able to survive it mentally." Survive so well that from 115 came 7-9, then 11-5 and a playoff spot. And, now, the threshold of the NFL championship.

Monday night the ACU basketball team was in town trying to duplicate the feat of their gridiron brethren. Stated simply, close but no cigar. Spurred by three threepointers and a traditional threepoint play by James Morris, the Bronchos overcame an eightpoint, 113-105 deficit in the final 1:15 to stun the wildcats in a 119-117 comeback win. UCO overcame a 19-point first-half hole behind Alex Wright's 30 points and Lester Turner's 17. The 64-48 halftime deficit was the first time the Bronchos trailed at the half all season. It was the Bronchos 12th straight win and 26th straight victory at Broncho Field House. UCO is now 16-2 and 3-0 in the Lone Star Conference. The Lady Bronchos also dumped ACU, with a 98-91 win in which they drained an LSC record 14 three-point shots. Jana Flanagan scored a career-high 28 points in leading the Lady Bronchos to their third straight conference win. Flanagan had seven of the 14 trey's in the contest. The 98 points were the third most ever tallied by UCO and the 29 three-point attempts were also an LSC record.

Dungeons and Dragons take shape at UCO D&D players explain why they delve in the world of wizards, play with mythic monsters and hack trolls By Heide Brandes Staff Writer
The wizard says to you, "You have done well. I cannot pinpoint the exact destination of the portal, but I'll send you in the general area. Get close together." The wizard pours a glittering dust around you in a large circle. He opens a book and starts to chant, waving his arms in a rhythmic fashion . A blinding light hits your eyes. It gets brighter and brighter and suddenly it is very quiet. You open your eyes. The ground is black and you see something hovering in the distance. It gets larger and larger and you begin to discern the shape of allying castle made of black crystal. In times before television, tales of adventure and heroes were passed on by word of mouth or radio. Listeners did not need to see pictures, narration and sound effects created exciting scenes in the imagination. Role playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons, are much the same. However, instead of just imagining, players actually participate, creating their own adventures and heroes. Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is no longer just for the young. More adults play the game now and its popularity has spread to college campuses, including the University of Central Oklahoma. "I play with four or five people, " said Travis Clark, a UCO student. "One college student and the rest are professionals in the work place.

And most of the people I play with are Christians." D&D is a fantasy game where monsters such as dragons thrive and magic abounds. When a group of people play, one becomes the Dungeon Master (DM). The DM creates worlds and situations for the players. Nicknamed "G.O.D.," or Game Organizational Director, the DM plays as an omnipotent being and the main narrator. The rest of the party creates characters ranging from paladins (holy fighters), thieves, fighters and magic-users. Different races such as human, elven and dwarven are chosen, as well as alignments, ranging from chaotic good to chaotic evil. The players then act out their roles. "Role playing is very important," said Clark. "It's like being in a play. You can't play a thief that won't steal." People play D&D for reasons such as interest in legends and stress relief, but most agree it's for an escape from reality. "It is an escape. College students work up a lot of stress and once a week or so, you get together with a bunch of friends and go tromping through the woods," said Kevin Williams, a DM. "It allows you to do things you can't in real life. You can pick up a battle ax and go hack up a troll." Williams has played D&D for five years and has DMed for players aged 15 to 33. "It's a very imagination-based game," he said. "You have to visualize the situations the characters get into. For instance, in a dungeon, they might run into a group of ores (ape-like
Ancient helmets and swords are a few of the props used in role-play games such as D&D.
creatures) or they might stumble onto a treasure chest covered in strange runes." Bobby Stewart, who plays characters and DM, has played for 10 years. He said though violence is a large part of D&D, thinking is just as important. "If the adventure is set up where you're solving puzzles or riddles, then you can't hack your way through a riddle," said Stewart. "Parties need to plan strategies and come up with a good game plan. Then you can still have hack and slash but thinking is important, too." Part of the enigma associated with D&D is the negative attention the game generated. Murders by people playing a character, the movie Mazes and Monsters and claims of satanic and influential ties gave cause to D&D's bad reputation. "I think that the people they refer to are a small group," Stewart said. "It's a stereotype. It's like saying playing Scrabble will make you a Ph.D. and playing D&D will make you talk to demons and slay people in the evening." However, people who kill or commit suicide due to the game

is more than rumor. The National Coalition on Television Violence stated that over 50 instances of death were linked to D&D and the obsession it causes. Because of the negative press, D&D is kept mostly underground. Though every bookstore is well stocked with fantasy books and games, players said role playing games are not widely advertised. "There are a whole lot of us in Edmond who play, " said Williams. "But the same, there are a lot of parents who all they've heard about are the demons." Stewart said society's views are partly to blame. "If there was something you like to do and society put it down, would you go around announcing it?" he said. "It's like putting your head on the block waiting for it to be chopped off." Patricia Pulling, of the organization "Bothered About D&D," said D&D is a form of brainwashing and sacrilegious. "The number one reason, especially in Oklahoma, is it's played down as demonic and

While one player's adventure takes place on a desert planet, another might take place in a vampire infested city. Some games even take place in the future. Each game, though, deals with an escape to fantasy. "Everyone wishes they could do something magical," said Stewart.

New cartoon pokes at co-eds all sorts of problems, such as financial aid and parking tickets
By Teri Harzheim Staff Writer
The Vista's newest cartoonist, Beau Wade, is a recent transfer student from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Wade, a 21-year-old junior and graphic design major, creates a comic strip which represents students and the trials they encounter while in college. "It's kind of fun to poke a little fun at administration. I like to point out the obvious that goes right by administration officials," said Wade. The main character, a dog, poses as a student running into
Wade's experience in cartooning began at Southwestern. His move to the University of Central Oklahoma is due in part to his job with the Air Force Reserves. "It was easier to live in the city (Oklahoma City) and go to school here," said Wade. The only conflict with his cartoons came from administration itself.
Beau Wade
"I was once asked by the Dean of Men (at Southwestern) to tone down some of my comics that made fun of administration," he said. His goal is to graduate in 1995 and get some exposure through The Vista.

Auth appointed to direct new UCO MBA program By Tim Linville
Staff Writer Gloria Auth, former enrollment advisor at the University of Central Oklahoma, has been appointed to direct UCO's Master's of Business Administration program. "I'll be in charge of MBA advisement, coordinating the schedule of comprehensive exams and working with the department chairs and the dean," said Auth, who began her new job last Monday. "Mrs. Auth was chosen for
this position because she has outstanding experience working with our students. She also has an MBA from UCO and is in touch with the needs of our MBA students," said Dr. Frank Wert, dean of UCO's College of Business Administration. "This position is wide open for expansion and growth," said Auth,"We plan to work with business and industry to set up more internship and mentorship programs for our students." "Right now I want to be sure the students know that I'm here and I'm aware of their needs," said Auth.
Equity officer offers help for those harrassed By Heide Brandes Staff Writer
The biggest problems with sexual harassment are that people are unclear of what constitutes harassment, and it is not reported, said Rick Dimmit, the equity officer for the University of Central Oklahoma. Sexual harassment, as defined by UCO's Sexual Harassment Policy, is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment is hard to
define, Dimmit said. Harassment starts when a person continues to express sexual interest after being told that the interest is unwelcome. "Tell them you don't appreciate what they're doing and you expect them to stop," Dimmit said about facing harassment. "Be very direct." If sexual harassment is occuring, the victim should report it right away, Dimmit said. In the work place, complaints usually go to the supervisor, said Dimmit, but students should talk to who they feel comfortable with, whether it be an advisor,

feels harassed by someone else's behavior, then that is a hostile sexual environment." Though no harassment complaints have been reported to Dimmit, who became equity officer in September 1992, UCO has had complaints, said Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration. "Over a period of years, we've had every kind of harassment," Mounce said. "We've had student to student, co-workers and faculty to students. We have had only one case of
student to faculty." Sometimes students come in to complain and are not sure if they were harassed or not, Mounce said. UCO is working to educate students and faculty on sexual harassment, Dimmit said, and is urging students to report any harassment as soon as possible. "What is most devastating is that it is never reported," Dimmit said. Anyone wishing to report sexual harassment can contact Dimmit at ext. 2665.

the dean of students or the equity officer. Sexual harassment occurs in two types: quid pro quo and hostile sexual environment. Quid pro quo is basically something for something. For instance, if a boss offers a promotion for sexual favors, he is guilty of quid pro quo, said Dimmit. Hostile sexual environment is the gray area, Dimmit said. "It's all in the eye of the beholder, " he said. "You have to be specific. If someone

Market up in foreign language By Heide Brandes
Staff Writer With the growing unification . of Europe, courses in not only foreign language but in foreign business and culture also should be offered at the University of Central Oklahoma, said Dr. Hans Nollert, assistant professor in UCO's department of foreign language. Nollert, who has been teaching German at UCO since
the fall of 1992, said knowledge of European languages will become more important. "What will happen is with Europe unified, all businessmen of the USA will need to be able to look beyond English," said Nollert. "I think our department could offer general courses that address certain skills such as those that would come under the heading 'business German.' What I mean is, not just words,
Concurrent enrollment rises
but a sense of business culture and work on business practice," he said. Nollert added that in other universities, the courses are already part of the standard curriculum.

Student Writer Many high school seniors are getting a head start on their college education by attending classes at the University of Central Oklahoma. The number of high school seniors enrolled concurrently at UCO was 71 during the fall semester. This spring semester enrollment increased with approximately 45 students enrolled from Edmond High School alone. "It looks like the majority of the students come from Edmond and Deer Creek," said Laura Tyree, a UCO research assistant. Other high school students at UCO come from Putnam City North, John Marshall, Bethel, Guthrie and Enid. Most of the students are enrolled in the general education courses such as U.S. History, college algebra, English and humanities. However, some are branching out and taking basic photography, audio production, sociology and calculus. Concurrent enrollment
"We're (foreign language department) constantly reviewing the course offerings," he said. "I have the impression the administration is interested in adapting the curriculum in a progressive way."
Comedian to perform on campus By Tim Linville Staff Writer
Dave Cusumano, a junior at the University of Central Oklahoma and comedian, will perform at 8p.m., Feb. 8 in the University Center Ballroom on the UCO campus. Cusumano has appeared on television shows, such as Night Shift and Comedy Gallery Live: The T.V. Show, and has performed in comedy clubs in 40 states. Cusumano, a finance major, started doing comedy eight-anda-half years ago in Florida. "Comedy is something I always wanted to do, so I started doing amateur nights in local clubs," he said. "Comedy is a lot of fun, but it involves a lot of travel. I've sometimes been on the road 300
days a year and that makes it tough to have a normal family life," said Cusumano, who moved to Oklahoma when his wife joined Ballet Oklahoma.
Page 9
"In my act, I take stories from the news and everyday happenings and twist them into something funny," he said. "If you'd like to be a comic just get on stage over and over. The more you do it, the better you get. Attitude is the key," said Cusumano. This is Cusumano's first semester as a full-time student at UCO and he works at local comedy clubs and travels when there are breaks from school, he said. Cusumano will be featured at the Bricktown Comedy Warehouse in Oklahoma City March 8-14.
gives students the feel of college and the extra courses give them more of a challenge, said Marlene Schmidt, guidance counselor at Edmond Memorial High School. Edmond High School encourages concurrent enrollment by including the information in graduation requirement packets the students receive at enrollment time. "There seems to be an increase this past school year," said Schmidt, "it used to be only the brightest kids, now everyone is catching on." Jeff Young, another Edmond High guidance counselor, is concerned with the student's credits transferring from one college to another. "I tell the students to check with the receiving school," he said, " they need to get it in writing that the school will take the work from UCO." The students get no high school credits for being enrolled concurrently but "I consider it a benefit to us and the student," said Schmidt.

Energy use tax to be considered WASHINGTON (AP) — The prices of gasoline, electricity, natural gas and oil may be heading up, to bring down the federal deficit. President Clinton and his advisers are considering asking Congress to tax energy consumption — and perhaps boost taxes on tobacco and alcohol as well — as part of a share-the-misery plan to control the record deficit. The plan also is likely to include a higher income tax on the well-to-do and reductions in unspecified government benefit programs. "No decisions have been made," White House spokesman George Stephanopoulos told reporters Monday. "The president ... has continued to develop the options, and we'll have an announcement soon."
Frightened mom says she bought baby TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) — A 17-year-old who was too afraid to tell her parents that she had had a baby helped her boyfriend concoct a story about buying the infant for $10 from a man who offered to sell the child for drugs, police say. The tale worked for a day before the 18-year-old father, Robert Garcia, confessed on Monday that it was a lie, police said. "As most young people, they were simply afraid to tell their parents," said Doug Franks, police chief in this community 30 miles south of Los Angeles. The unidentified girl fooled her parents during her pregnancy by saying she was gaining weight, Franks said. She gave birth Saturday. Franks said Garcia would probably not be charged with any wrongdoing.
Former 'Funny Girl' whispers wish NEW YORK (AP) — Barbra Streisand's next big project might be "A Star Is Born on Capitol Hill." The singer-actress-director is considering a run for the U.S. Senate, the New York Post reported today. She has homes in New York and California, and it wasn't clear where she might run. Streisand 50, whispered her wish during last week's inaugural festivities in Washington, the newspaper said, citing a highly placed Democratic source it didn't name. Streisand was a major fund-raiser for the Clinton-Gore ticket and entertained at one of the inaugural balls. "Several people have approached me and I find it very flattering," she told the Post through a spokeswoman. "I enjoy being of service and helping to bring about change. Where that will take me, I don't know. But it is intriguing."

Chinese New Year celebrated By Michele Soh
Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma students from China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Pakistan and America came together Saturday evening at UCO's Broncho Corral to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a dance. Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year has been celebrated for centuries in Asia. The emigration of Chinese people world-wide has caused this season to be celebrated around
the world, from Beijing and Hongkong to San Francisco and Edmond. This dance is an opportunity for freshman students to meet other UCO students, said UCO Professor Jim Rogers. Rogers, sponsor of the Malaysian Student Association, said there are 45 new Malaysians this semester. When asked what they thought of the dance, OSU students, Barry Putnam and Polina Vong said "We like it , but it's different." UCO freshman, Patrick Hua
said he was glad he came to the dance, as it was enjoyable and lots of friends were there. The dance attracted 150 people, said Nikki Loo, one of the organizers. New Year's Day is the first day of the first moon of the lunar calendar. Traditionally, Chinese New Year lasts for 15 days, it celebrates new life and familytogetherness with reunion dinners, lion dances, firecrackers, the settling of debts and the hopes of a prosperous year ahead.
SGA president experiences dorm life By Michele Soh
Staff Writer Student Government Association President, Joacquin Stevens, experienced dormliving first hand when he lived for a week beginning Dec. 1, 1992 in the University of Central Oklahoma's East Hall. "I am interested in the students' input and want to bring their concerns to the executive council and maybe implement some practical solutions," said Stevens. Carroll Van Duyn, director of housing, said it was wonderful exposure for Stevens; and he
could experience hassle-free travel by living on campus instead of commuting. This is the first time such an exercise has been carried out, said head resident of East Hall, Doug Finley. Stevens would be able to give us a fresh outlook of living in the Halls, said Finley. Stevens said as a leader, he wanted to be visible to students living on campus and show that the Student Government cares and wants to make changes. As he walked the maze of fluorescent-lighted corridors, Stevens received several suggestions from the residents. One suggestion was that things
in East Hall could be fixed more quickly; another was to Lave paper seat covers in the restrooms. Stevens said he found his room comfortably furnished and that the cafeteria food was good, but he did say he wished there was more privacy in the showers. Special arrangements were made with the UCO Housing Office for Stevens to live in a single room and eat in the cafeteria for a week. The cost was $80, said Van Duyn. Stevens said his expenses were covered by SGA.
Miss UCO 1993 Scholarship Pageant "Night and Day"
Jesse Jackson 'ambushed' in Haiti NEW YORK (AP) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson says he feared Haitian soldiers were going to shoot him when he was detained during a weekend trip to the Caribbean nation. Jackson said Monday he didn't know whether the soldiers were going to "shake us down, or shoot us, or intimidate us, or all three" when they stopped his group for 45 minutes in Leogane, 20 miles west of Port-au-Prince. Soldiers frequently stop and question motorists on Haiti's highways.
