Response low for Reba's ticket offer TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Reba McEntire's gun-for-tickets offer drew only six guns its first day, including two from women who traded in their husbands' pistols. Ms. McEntire, an Oklahoma native, decided to offer up to 100 tickets to her Feb. 19 concert after hearing similar programs offered by the Dallas Cowboys. She was hopeful the exchange would cut back on violence, said her publicist, Jenny Bouler. Police Cpl. Michael Ault said six people brought five handguns and a rifle to the property room Tuesday. "Most of them are inexpensive guns," Ault said.
Van with students crashes on highway DENVER (AP) — A van carrying ROTC students and advisers from the University of Oklahoma crashed on an icy Colorado highway, injuring eight of them. Bryan Briggs, 19, and Ryan Hoyle, 19, were in serious condition at University Hospital in Denver after the accident Thursday afternoon. Five others in the group were in fair or good condition, and another person was treated and released. The van was one of two taking OU ROTC students to a competition in Colorado Springs. The van carried 11 people, including the driver and two advisers.

Porter, 63, had retired to Oklahoma City where he was publishing a weekly newspaper, the South Leader. Porter is a native of Cape Girardeau, Mo., and a graduate of the University of Missouri.

Time management a problem for students with children
Role conflict of student parents may cause added stress, worry The same discussions can be heard on campuses throughout the country. What's your schedule, who' s your professor, how many hours are you carrying, did you get any financial aid? Most college students would agree that the academic world can be frustrating and stressful. But for students who are also parents, the role of studen tbecomes much more complicated. "The average student at our university is 28-years-old," said Dr. David A. Ford, assistant professor of sociology YSee STRESS, Page

Before she knew it, she was deep in depression; the prescribed treatment was worse than the illness, and she suffered from debilitating side effects. It was time to make some tough decisions.

The administration has no statistics on the actual number of students at the University of Central Oklahoma that have children, but for students who do, they may find themselves challenged in ways that the traditional student is not. "When parents go to school, they have to find time for their spouse, their children, then if you're lucky, yourself," said Patti.

THE VISTA EDITORIAL
Jackson thriller could prove dangerous to all Society never seems willing to learn that, when it comes to moral attitudes and tolerance, no matter who has the money, we all pay the price. While Michael Jackson and his attorneys are betting that a multi-million dollar payoff in his child molestation civil suit will help him beat it, criminal prosecutors are still trying to figure out who's bad. Meek as a lamb when not performing on stage, the shy, softspoken pop star has denied any wrong doing. But in the harsh light of media scrutiny, his denials are like inter-twined fingers casting wolf-like shadows against a bedroom wall. Potentially damning testimony from the 13-year old plaintiff, ex-employees, and even one of Jackson's sisters help trigger a Pavlovian response from a society whose hunger for lurid details is never satiated. Regardless of Jackson' s alleged guilt or innocence, the moral conduct of others in this circus of the bizarre should be illuminated, as well. A former maid at Jackson's Neverland Ranch told reporters that she thought her son was being molested, also. Yet, she continued to work and allowed the boy to associate with Jackson. Janet Jackson, Michael's superstar sister, says she knew what was going on, and "couldn't remain silent about it any longer" because she cared about the children. How could she have remained silent at all? And what of the parents of Jackson's alleged victims? They saw nothing unusual in allowing their young to spend the night alone with an adult who wears make-up, talks to animals, and grabs his crotch in videos and concert performances,? Apparently not. Especially when he was so financially and materialistically generous to them. When individuals in a society judge one of its member's actions, they must also judge their response to those actions, and their own actions, at the same time. To point the finger of blame at one, without first examining the feelings and motives of all, can only lead to the continued decay of the very code society has sworn to live by.

Reader explains college, light bulb
I
n response to the letter of T. C. Shane in the Jan. 25 issue of The Vista, only two words are appropriate —
Lighten up! It is amazing that a single cartoon, subject to the artistic discretion of its creator, disrupted the routine of Mr. Shane. It is only a cartoon, for crying out loud. Mr. Shane is more than entitled to his own opinion, but so is the cartoonist. Even more than that, he apparently has no appreciation for spiritual literature, be it the Bible, the Koran, or any other sacred writ. Mr. Shane's views are indeed quite rational, but they are not original. The great philosopher
David Hume articulated such ideas over200 years ago. However, it is unlikely that Hume's ponderings were triggered by an editorial cartoon in a campus newspaper. Mr. Shane argues exclusively on the basis of natural law. He dismisses the Bible for its inclusion of unnatural (God forbid "supernatural") events within its pages. It must be nice to live in a world where everything is explainable in rational, scientifically sound terms. Unfortunately, many happenings in our world baffle and even defy rational explanation. You don't even have to believe in a Supreme Being to recognize such phenomena. Besides, if "fairy tale" books
like the Bible aren' t worth believing, why worry about it? No one said you have to believe it. Please demonstrate a little toleration of our right to be "fools" in your eyes. UCO is not a "backwater bible college," (a tired cliché), it is a university. In such an institution, free exchange of ideas is paramount, whether it be you, me, or the cartoonist. That is the true joy of the educational experience. Yes, Mr. Shane, the light bulb has been invented. (Thomas Edison, 1879). But, a light bulb only illuminates what is or is not there in the dark. You have to turn it on first. — Brad Duren UCO graduate
Response argues against legal drugs hat if airline pilots were allowed to fly you and 64 others from Dallas to Phoenix while smoking grass? What if your child's teacher could snort a few lines of cocaine on his lunch hour? What if a neurologist could legally shoot a little heroin before performing surgery on your mother's spine? What if construction workers could smoke a few grains of crack cocaine on break? By legalizing illicit drugs in the United States, we would be encouraging and promoting so-
W
ciopathic behavior and counterproductivity. Sure, we could tax the sale of drugs, hereby raising our national tax base a minuscule fraction of a fraction of a percent — now that really sounds like the answer to our nation's economic distress. What The Vista's editor fails to note is that the use of illegal drugs is confined to a vast minority. How could the taxation of a product used by such a small number actually contribute any notable amount to national revenues? It can't. Anti-drug laws were established to protect the majority and
discourage the self-destruction (not to mention the destruction of others) that is inseparable from drug use. Why cater to the ranting s of an irrational minority to further endanger the lives of the majority? The argument for the legalization of currently illicit drugs is one that hardly retains any semblance of credibility. My dear editor, put down your bong and check into rehab. — Matt McClintock UCO senior

Social impact of sports to be discussed at seminar Stacye Koch
Student Writer
-
A group of University of Central Oklahoma students will be attending a seminar Feb. 23- 27 at the University of Oklahoma regarding the social impact of professional sports. The seminar is sponsored by the Oklahoma Scholar - Leadership Enrichment Program (OSLEP). OSLEP, a state wide program supported by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, is designed to bring students into contact with distinguished scholars, to enrich higher education opportunities and to generate intellectual excitement. Richard ELapchik, founder and director of the Center for the Study of Sport in Society at Northeastern University, Boston, will speak at the seminar. Topics will include what has happened to athletes involved in sports, the myths and realities of athletics, what has gone wrong in the sports world, what has been done to correct it and what still needs to be done. Students were selected from all over the state and eight UCO students were accepted, the largest group coming from one school.
Elaine Kumin, coordinator for Student Services at OU, was excited by the response this year. "UCO students seem very responsive to the seminars and always do very well. We are pleased to see that so many UCO students will be attending Dr. Lapchik's seminar," Kumin said. This seminar is only one of many that OSI.EP offers each year to Oklahoma students. Students must have a 3 .0 GPA, be ajunior, senior or graduate student and must have three letters of recommendation, two of which mustbe from faculty members. Students who meet these qualifications are invited by campus representatives to apply for these seminars. OSLEP coordinators review the applications based on the student's academic and leadership abilities, major of study and preference of topic, then select who will attend which seminar. Once students are selected, registration packets are sent to the campus representative. Students are required to read the books sent before the seminar, as well as write a pre-seminar paper and hand it in the first day. Kumin says there is no better way to stretch a student's mind than in these seminars. "Students get to come and listen to these imminent speakers, meet
new people from all over the state and have a lot of fun while they learn so much," Kumin said. OSLEP seminars cost $125 and include a five-day seminar, lodging, meals and books. Kumin said there is a little scholarship money but not much. "If money is the only reason they are not able to attend, we try to work something out. If that doesn't work, each speaker gives a free public lecture that we encourage the students to attend," Kumin said. Some of the other seminars offered this year covered the Dead Sea Scrolls, astronomy, mathematics, family matters, unification of Europe and robotics. Kumin said that students don't have to have a background in the subjects, just an interest. "Students really like the idea of stretching their minds and learning something completely new. I have had some students tell me that the seminar changed their life, and they were going to go to graduate school now," Kumin said. OSLEP is not accepting any more applications for this year, but for more information about next year's seminars, contact the Office of Student Affairs at OU at 325-4309.

Playwrighting class to present "Oklahoma Voices" Feb. 11, 12 Jason Webb
Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma's Playwright's Craft class will hold its annual "Oklahoma Voices" at 8 p.m. on Feb. 11-12 in the Liberal Arts Building's Pegasus Theater. Students from the theater department auditioned for "Oklahoma Voices" from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Jan. 27 and 28 in the Communications Building, Room 213. "Oklahoma Voices" is two nights ofreading students' work from the semester before. It
began eight years ago when the department decided to reward those students who did exceptional work in the class, and it has become a tradition. The class consists of college studentslike David Rust, who is currently working towards his master's degree, to Maya Sloan, a high school student from McGuinness High School. Linda McDonald, director and instructor of the class, said the readings will be "very light pieces, and also pieces that are very gripping and deal with some life issues."
Costa Rica trip open to students The University of Central Oklahoma biology department is planning its second annual workshop in Costa Rica to study its natural history and ecology early this spring. The trip to Costa Rica, located in Central America just northwest of Panama, will include visits to two tropical rain forests, a seasonal "dry" rain forest, two research stations, and students will be able to see an active volcano, said biology professor Dr. Donna Zanowiak.
The workshop also counts as two hours of college credit for graduates and undergraduates. The trip, scheduled for May 23 to June 5, will cost students about $1500, and is currently open to anyone interested. However, if reservations fill to capacity, they will give preference to biology majors first, she said. Students interested can contact Zanowiak at the university at 3412980, Ext. 5782, or Dr. Clark Ovrebo at Ext. 5783.

Health fair opens opportunities By Jimmy Hyde
Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma's Pre-Med Health Professions Club presented its fourth annual Health Professions Opportunity Fair last Wednesday at the University Center Ballroom. Representatives from UCO's pre-med colleges and other premed colleges across the state met with students to discuss opportunities in health professions and health care. "I think it went well. We saw
the people we needed to see, and we get quite a few people off this campus, and we are happy with the results," said Kevin Avery, assistant dean at the University of Oklahoma's College of Dentistry. Discussed at the fair were the admission policies of many of the colleges and the opportunities the field offers. Literature on each college was available to those who attended. "This is the best way to find out if you are interested in health care," said Nasrin Haji-Sadeghi, vice president of the Pre-Med/Health
Professions Club. "We got a lot of questions answered, but the fair was not as big as we'd like it to be. I would say not anymore than 150 persons came, and I did not see many firsttimers," said Peggy Guthre, UCO professor. "The fair is a great opportunity for anyone interested in health care. We will see an increase in health-care positions, because people are living long enough to get chronic diseases, and we are more active and apt to physical injuries," said Guthrie.

UCO's Wild Campus:
UCO police attend OCLEA meet; skunks, amendments discussed
In search of Oklahoma's wild College Senior By Joe Umbarger
Column
Managing Editor (Continued from last issue) We finally find our herd of College Seniors at a watering hole known as Wolftrap. Our presence does not seem to alarm them. In fact, they pay us very little mind at all as they eat, drink and engage in mating rituals. Two-point and I take up a position near a Wild Turkey nest and ready our equipment. It is not known for certain why, but Wild Turkey and College Seniors are often found together.
A single young bull wanders beneath the Wild Turkey nest. Two-point aims the gun, and fires a tranquilizer dart into the male's rump. He bellows with surprise, stamps about in a circle, then tries to run. Suddenly, the bull charges directly at Twopoint and me. He is drowsy from the tranquilizer drug, but not out, and the sudden stinging pain to his rump has angered him. (Continued next issue)
Lt. Hayes Forbes and Sgt. Ted Jones of the University of Central Oklahoma's campus Police Department attended the bi-monthly meeting of OCLEA, the Oklahoma Campus Law Enforcement Association. "OCLEA is a way for campus law enforcement and security forces from across the state to share information and promote professionalism on campus and security law enforcement departments," said Forbes. "It lets people know we're a
profession and not a technical trade," he said. Problems discussed at the meeting ranged from how to trap a skunk on the campus of the University of Oklahoma then remove the odor from the patrol car, to legislative amendments that will toughen the laws for possesion of weapons on campus. The meeting was held at the Meridian Technology Center on Jan. 26 in Stillwater. UCO will host the meeting of OCLEA in May.

UCO clubs gathering donations By Anthony Tompkins
Staff Writer supplement her family income. "My biggest problem is finding time to study. After classes, I have errands to run, bills to pay. Then the kids come home from school needing help with their homework, then on to dinner, and before you know it, the evening's over," said Patti. "Our house is too small to study, there's always noise from the TV or stereo, and I like to read out loud at times. They frown on that over at the library." Patti is married and has two children ages 10 and 13. Her decision to return to school was discussed with the entire family, because they all knew that they would be affected. "I decided that if I was going to work the rest of my life, then I might as well do something I enjoyed," said Patti. "And to be honest, until recently I wasn' t sure what I really wanted to do for a career." For Sherrana Sadler, an applied communications major at UCO, school has been a lot of hard work. "I was 29, divorced with three kids and no high school degree," said Sadler. "I worked 70 hours a week and carried 18 hours at school. I had to, so I just did it." Finally the day came when her kids put a picture of themselves on the refrigerator with anote saying, "This is what we look like," she said. "They made me promise that I wouldn't work, so now I'm on school loans and scholarships," said Sadler. Sadler said that going to school has affected her children in a positive way. Her oldest daughter earned a nursing scholarship through the ROTC and is attending UCO, her 16-year-old daughter is in high school and a vo-tech school and her 12-year-old son is planning to become a meteorologist. "My children don't want to have
to do without," she said. "They want something better." "I've gone back to school for them, myself and my mother. My father died when I was only six, and mom had to work hard to take care of us. She never had the chance for a formal education," she said. "My kids are my best friends. We believe that you help each other and do the best you can. I believe you can get everything from a college education," she said. Julie Ginter is a psychology major and the mother of a 4-yearold son named Jeffery. "Going to school has made my life a lot more difficult," she said. "But I want to get a master's degree, and it's too hard to get a good job without school and a degree." In addition to being a student and mother, Ginter also works on campus. She said that it is hard to make ends meet but occasionally gets child support from her son's father. "I manage to spend time with my son every day, and I always read to him every night. For now I can do my studying when he's playing, but I think it will be harder when he's older because he'll be in school and I'llhave to help him with homework and outside activities," she said. Ginter said she has no regrets about going to school but that if she had it to do all over again, she would go to school before having children. All three women agree that being a student and a parent is timeconsuming and difficult, but the long-term benefits of both roles will be worth the long hours and hard work.

The University of Central Oklahoma chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association (ACJA), the Criminal Justice Club (CJC), is sponsoring a charity collection challenge with President Nigh's office, the L.A. Building staff, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol training division and the Ponca City Police Department. Donations of non-perishable goods and money are being collected on behalf of the victims of earthquake devastation in California. A donation box will be located in the L.A. Building, and other boxes are expected to be placed around campus, said Shawn L. Shirley, regional vice president of the ACJA and treasurer of the
UCO CJC. "The ACJA is a professional fraternity which provides its members with opportunities to meet people, make new friends, network to find jobs, and compete in various competitions," said Shirley. "Even though I am a new member of the ACJA, I placed third in the upper division regional marksmanship competition. I also had the opportunity to meet some very interesting people," said William Goode, a CJC member. The ACJA offers many workshops and conventions pertaining to the many aspects of law enforcement. This year's national conference is called "American Prisons: The Crossroads of the American Justice System," and will involve discussions of crimi-

nology and aspects of penology, said Shirley. Dues for ACJA and CJC memberships are $32. This covers both the national and local membership fees. There are currently 13 members of the CJC, and we encourage more people to get involved, said Brad Royster, UCO CJC President. "Our former president is now employed with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation," said Shirley Checks for the donation drive should be made payable to the Feed The Children Foundation, a nonprofit disaster assistance and missionary organization.

at UCO. "If she is a single mother she will have many roles; that of mother, student, maybe employee. For each status, she has a role set. As a mother, she may be chauffeur, cook, housekeeper. The list goes on and on; as a student she attends classes, does library research, studies; as an employee she must be at the job certain hours and then fulfill whatever responsibilities that go along with it." Ford said that although each of the roles is demanding and potentially stressful, it is the role conflict that usually causes the stress. "The person has to fulfill all of these roles, and there are only so many hours to do so," he said. "If your kid gets sick, you can' t work or go to school, immediately you have conflict." "A person needs to compartmentalize, keep the roles separate. At home don't think about school and at school don't think about things at home," he said.

"I've had frantic students come in that are having problems with academic load, work, marriages. They have role overload. People have bitten off more than they can chew," he said. Ford, who teaches the course "Family" at UCO, said that there are ways to reduce role conflict. People need to prioritize and maybe drop a role, cut hours and make compromises. Some of the stress is controllable, students just have to make some hard decisions, he said. "You have to control things, not let them control you," he said. "The more organized and the more disciplined you are, the more you're on the right track." "Start your projects early and
work ahead, don't let things log jam at the end of the semester," he said. To reduce role conflict, it may become necessary to break things down to a micro level; carry a calendar, lay out due dates on a day-to-day level and break things into smaller task units, he said. "Students who overload themselves may find that they're always trying to catch up, may turn in inferior work, cheat or just give up," he said. Learning the skills in college such as utilizing time, writing, reading and synthesizing information are skills students will use in any profession...they stand students in good stead out in the work world, he said.

Lone Star misery for Lady Bronchos By Scott Moore
Sports Writer It was a trip that the Central Oklahoma women's basketball team will soon try to forget. The Lady Bronchos traveled to Texas and dropped two Lone Star Conference contests by an average margin of 33 points. Angelo State thumped UCO 96-72 in San Angelo on Jan. 22, and the Wild-
cats of Abilene Christian crushed the Lady Bronchos 88-46 in Abilene Jan.24. Angelo State senior guard Nicole Collins led all scorers with 33 points in their victory. Collins, along with East Texas State's Andrea Hines, lead the LSC in scoring with 24.7 points per game. UCO senior forward Tammy Cummings led the Bronchos with 12 points.
"We simply didn't play well," said head coach John Keely. "We weren't executing well, and we were forcing our shots. We should have been finding our shots instead of our shots finding us." Abilene Christian's 42-point victory was the second-worst loss by a UCO women's team in the last 10 years. UCO dropped a 49point decision to West Texas A&M during the 1987-88 season.
UCO was out rebounded by Abilene Christian 62-33 and combined for 51 turnovers in both defeats. "Our players won' t get down on themselves," said Keely. "I don't worry about them, because they'll rebound." UCO falls to 7-9 overall and 32 in the conference, falling to third place. Angelo State (11-4, 5-0) sits at the top.
The road trip continued for the Lady Bronchos as they traveled back to Texas to take on LSC foes Texas A&M-Kingsville Jan. 29 and East Texas State Jan. 31(both game reports in Feb. 3 edition). UCO returns home for a twogame-home stand as they face East Texas State Saturday and Texas A&M - Kingsville Monday. Both games begin at 6 p.m.
Tarleton joins Lone Star league By Rachel Schnitzer

proved for membership by the LS C Council of Presidents and by the NCAA at its annual convention in mid January. Their acceptance makes the Texans the ninth team in the conference. The Texans will not begin conference play until the 1994- 1995 school year. They will be competing in seven men's sports and six
women's, including baseball, basketball, football, track and volleyball. Other schools in the LSC are Angelo State, Abeline Christian, East Texas State, Eastern New Mexico, Texas A &M- Kingsville, Texas Women's, West Texas A&M and UCO.

Debate on abortion presented at UCO debate," he said. "We have a clashing of two different parties claiming rights; one, the right to liberty and privacy, and the other, a right to life." "The right to life is not the right to be kept alive by someone else, the right to life is not the same as the right to get what you need to stay alive," said Dadlez in her opening statement. If the state cannot compel people to donate organs or submit to certain health procedures, how can it compel a woman to act as a life support system for a fetus, she said. "This argument about abortion turns very simply on the question...whether or not an un- Dr. Doug Miller, professor of philosophy at Rose State, and Dr. Eva Dadlez, humanities professor born baby, a fetus, is human and at UCO, debate the moral issue of abortion Jan. 27 in Pegasus Theatre.

By Janet Runge Staff Writer Abortion is immoral in a majority of cases and hence should be prohibited by law. This issue was the topic of a symposium debate presented by the University of Central Oklahoma's Philosophy Club Jan. 27 in the Pegasus Theatre. Dr. Doug Miller, a professor of philosophy at Rose State College affirmed the resolution and Dr. Eva Dadlez, an assistant professor of humanities and philosophy at the University of Central Oklahoma, argued against the resolution. Michael Greerson, a UCO student, acted as moderator for the debate. "Please keep in mind that neither speaker is to be indisputably identified with either position. Their personal views are not necessarily at issue," said Greeson. "Let me make one thing perfectly clear. This is not a debate that will degenerate into emotive mud-slinging, this is to be a philosophical, rigorous examination of the abortion controversy," said Greeson. Miller opened the debate with a 10 minute presentation. "If you have rights and I have rights, what happens when our rights clash.

Housing cost to increase Continued from front page

Magazine chooses Dennis Byrd as Oklahoman of Year for 1993 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma Today magazine chose former pro football player Dennis Byrd as 1993 Oklahoman of the Year over a field that included Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman. Byrd was chosen for his recovery from a severe neck injury and his refusal "to let what life doled out defeat him mentally," the magazine said Tuesday. Byrd was paralyzed in a collision with a New York Jets teammate during a game in November 1992. Doctors told him he might never walk again, but he was walking within months of the accident. "Without question, Dennis Byrd best represented Oklahoma in 1993," magazine editor Jeanne Devlin said. "Even at the height of his career, he never forgot who he was and where he came from. And after his accident, he leveled the same quiet determination against his injury and situation he applied to every other obstacle he faced in his life." Byrd, who grew up in Mustang and attended the University of Tulsa, lives in Owasso with his wife, Angela, and two daughters.
University of Central Oklahoma students living on campus can expect to pay higher rates for their room and board. The Oklahoma State Board of Regents for higher education suggested and approved an increase in housing tuition for on-campus living centers, said A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services at UCO. "I've managed to hold housing costs down since I first came here
in 1991, but operating costs continue to rise, and I have no other alternatives," said Rahman. Auxiliary Services provides college students with low cost student housing and also provides the salaries for the staffs of the Campus Bookstore and the Campus Gift Shop. "We are self supporting and nonprofit, we receive no state funding, but we are bound by the policies set forth by the board of regents," said Rahman. Auxiliary Services also pays for
the upkeep of living facilities between semesters, said Rahman. "We try to insure that the walls are painted, the carpets are cleaned, and that the living quarters meet with all public safety codes," said Rahman. "We have a waiting list a mile long." Rahman said the exact amount of the increase is still in question. For further information about student housing, contact the Auxiliary Services office at 341-2980, Ext. 2737.
Oklahoma statutes prevent 2 men with felonies from taking office TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Felony records will keep two men from taking office, even if they win in upcoming city elections. Charles Daniel Bradley, 28, is running for city council on a platform to reduce crime. "I know what a lot of the people's needs are, so we can keep crimes from happening," he said. Records show Bradley has four felony convictions, starting in 1983 with two counts of armed robbery and one of attempted armed robbery. He pleaded no contest in 1988 to unauthorized use of a car. Charles S. McKinnon, a Republican running for mayor, also is a convicted felon. Records show he was convicted of third-degree arson 13 years ago. "I'm willing to work with law enforcement to better their programs," he said. "I have more or less known both sides of the fence." Both men said their criminal histories were history. But the city attorney said Oklahoma statutes will prevent them from taking office if they were to win. City Attorney David Paulin said former felons cannot seek or hold public office until 15 years after the completion of a sentence.

Research shows women who drink coffee need to eat more calcium CHICAGO (AP) — Women who drink coffee ought to drink plenty of milk as well to keep their .bones strong, researchers say. Previous research showed that caffeine increases urinary excretion of calcium. A lack of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, a thinning of bones most common in postmenopausal women. In a new study, researchers from the University of California at San Diego looked at the coffee- and milk-drinking habits of 980 post-menopausal women ages 50 to 98 years and measured the density of their hip and spinal bones. "If you're going to drink your coffee, eat your calcium," concluded Sharon Edelstein, co-author of the report in today's Journal of the American Medical Association. Women who drank two or more cups of coffee a day and at least one glass of milk a day for about 40 years were found to have bone density 6.5 percent higher than women who drank two cups of coffee each day and didn't drink milk. A decrease in bone density was seen in women who drank as little as one cup of coffee daily and no milk over the same period.

"Entertainme nt Day" entries due Feb. 1 By Michelle Peller Staff Writer
The deadline for submissions of applications by student organizations sponsoring local talent for the University of Central Oklahoma Student Programming Board's "Entertainment Day" is today. "Entertainment Day" scheduled for all day Feb. 24 will consist of artists, clowns, jugglers, musicians and other performers who will be performing at various locations across campus, said Susan Th-
Teres 2 cents It's been interesting to watch the rats run. Religiou sly practicing the currently popular trend of in-yourface protest practices, abortion foes like Operation Rescue and similar groups who routinely conduct everything from disruptive harassment campaigns to violent acts of terrorism in an attempt to force abortion providers out of business, have discovered the weak link to their avowed lust for life. The Supreme Court, in sanc-
ompson, advisor, student programming board. This is the first time that this has been offered at UCO, she said. It is primarily for the "commuters to become more involved," Thompson said. The student talent will be paid for their entertainment which will be negotiated by them and the organization, she said. Thompson said that they would like events like this to continue at UCO. The student programming board is bringing in three comedians: Willie Barcena, Ed Marquez and
Jackie Guerra who will perform from 8 to 11p.m. in the University Center Ballroom , she said. The student programming board prepares five or six events each year that consist of jugglers, comedians and other performers, but they just decided to have "one big day," Thompson said. Information regarding entertainers of this area will be available in the Student Activities office, Thompson said. For any questions or more information on sponsorsip, contact Susan Thompson at 341-2980, Ext. 2363.
tioning the use of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to bring the full force of federal law down on the heads of those who terrorize for Jesus, have done something that 2000 years of Christian teaching (you know the stuff about love thy neighbor, give blessings not curses and cast not the first stone) could not. If found in violation, abortion clinic protesters could be ordered to pay triple damages and attorneys fees into the millions of dollars. This type of action is seen by the anti-choicers as a lot more serious than merely being dramatically dragged off by police in front of news cameras. It has been established in law precedent that "speech" may violate some sensibilities, but we should be careful to not allow the definition of "speech" to include
harassment, stalking, destruction of property and violence. It's interesting how they are publicly conceding that terrorizing women and their caregivers at clinics is all of a sudden not worth the cost. Of course they are squealing to high heaven about it. About how the Court's decision is an affront to God while all the time refusing to acknowledge the stench of their own inconsistencies. Perhaps it would do those who try to cover their hatefulness with quotes from the Bible some good to read it once in a while. And while they're at it, they should study the life of the man who changed the hearts of sinners by treating them with kindness and respect and by understanding their very human dilemmas, saving his anger for the hypocrites.
Powers invited to university I school commission as special evaluator By Michelle Peller Staff Writer Dr. G. Kay Powers, dean of the College of Mathematics and Science at the University of Central Oklahoma, is one out of 118 that has been invited to serve as a consultant-evaluator for the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. Powers, along with other North Central ConsultantEvaluators, make up the visiting teams who review the information upon which the North Central accreditaition process is based, Powers said. "In order to be accredited, a school musthave clear and publicly stated purposes, as well as adequate resources with which to accomplish those purposes, and the schools must be accomplishing those purposes with the intent to continue accomplish-
ing them," she said. Powers said that she had never applied before for this position. Though Powers has never been a team member, she has been involved at an institution in the preparing process for the evaluators visit. "I will get to know a great deal about that institution," said Powers. "I hope it will benefit UCO and the schools I visit." "I am very honored to be selected," she said. "I hope I can learn something that will be of benefit to my college and UCO," said Powers . "It is an honor to represent UCO in any capacity and I'm pleased to do so." Powers' service will consist of two visits or three years, whichever comes first. When this is successfully completed, she will serve a five-year term. Powers will attend a training session March 26-27 in Chicago.

The University of Central Oklahoma's Nigh Institute of State Government, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Heritage Association, will publish a set of bound books containing biographies, essays and articles of famous Oklahomans, beginning later this semester. The 12-volume set, called The Oklahoma Statesman Series, will be comprised of sketches of each individual, including
memorable speeches during their lifetime. The first volume will be dedicated to Lyle Boren, father of Senator David Boren. The elder Boren was a member of the U.S. Congress during World War II and the Roosevelt Administration. Others to be included in later volumes are Robert S. Kerr, Mike Monroney and Dewey Bartlett. "We feel there us a great history of Oklahoma that people need to know about," said Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh
Institute of State Government. Reherman said the subject matter of later volumes will be determined at a later date, but each volume will be priced under $20. The distribution of the set will be over a four-year period, with two to three volumes published each year. Target date for the first volume is April 22. They will be published by the University of Central Oklahoma press, the first books ever published by the press.
Organizational/Informational fair being held tomorrow By Roy Howe
Staff Writer
Ordinarily offered during the fall semester, the first Spring Organizational/Informational Fair takes place tomorrow to familiarize students with activities, organizations and other services available at the university. Sponsored by the Student Government Association and the President's Club, the fair offers two sessions for students. One will be held 11:30 a.m. until 1
p.m. and another from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom. The fair is aimed at commuter students that are not aware of the services available to them, said Jennifer Darter, President's Club member. "We find a lot of students don't realize exactly what they are paying for with their student fees, and this shows them," Darter said. The University of Central Oklahoma offers 120 active organizations. In addition, students can enter a drawing for a certificate worth
$100 in free gasoline. Food and prizes will also be available. "It should be a lot of fun," said Aaron Montgomery, Student Government Association president. "If students have any interests in being involved with organizations on campus they should be there." Students can also find helpful material relating to campus services at the fair. "If students have any questions concerning departments such as financial aid, library, housing or anything, they can find the answers there," Montgomery said.
