OIL applications available Earthquake rocks Hawaiian islands HONOLULU (AP) — An earthquake shook Hawaii early Tuesday, prompting curious residents to flood police departments with telephone calls. But there were no reports of damage or injuries.

The earthquake, at 12:01 a.m.

(5:01 a.m. EST), measured 5.2 on the Richter scale, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center reported.

Mike Blackford, the geophysicist at the center, said a tsunami (so-called "tidal wave") was not generated by the quake and no damage was reported.

The three-to-five-second quake occurred 20 miles beneath the Kilauea crater in Hawaii Volcanos National Park, on the island of Hawaii, and was felt around the state.

Bus crash injures driver, children DURANT, Okla. (AP) — A 16-year-old Bryan County girl was hospitalized overnight after a school bus accident that injured the driver and 15 children.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said a bus belonging to the Allen School District hit a guard rail shortly before 10 p.m.

Monday while exiting U.S. Highway 69 a mile north of Durant.

The accident occurred when the driver, Lora Lee Glover, fell out of her seat while making a sharp turn, troopers said.

Ms. Glover and 14 passengers were treated for minor injuries and released from Medical Center of Southeastern Oklahoma in Durant.

EDITORIAL

February 3, 1994

THE REAL ReAsoK) LOU15IPWA Is H E MOST GANGEROuS sTATe.

Going for the gold equals going for the jugular for top athletes The world of amateur sports is a dangerous world to live in. The Harding-Kerrigan incident is not an isolated one. It merely illuminates the ugliness lying just beneath the pristine surface of grace and beauty associated with Olympic competition.

Whether or not Tonya Harding knew of the attack on Nancy Kerrigan in advance matters little. A recent network TV program quoted future Olympic hopefuls as saying that they didn't care or think about the other skaters — only of themselves. And they admitted that backstabbing, in the form of stolen outfits and programmed music tapes represent a constant threat to their quest to be the best.

And Dorothy Hamill told People magazine that in 1976 she was almost run over by a car driven by one of her competitors and that skater's coach.

That dark side has been glimpsed before. The steroid issue of a few years ago involving Olympic athletes serves as another example of what it means to "go for the gold."

It should surprise no one that money is the root of this perceived evil.

Multi-million dollar rewards in the form of product sponsorships are the real gold in sports competition, especially today.

A face on a cereal box is nothing, anymore, compared to the high-tech, high-budget, high-profile TV commercials available for winners. The amount of money an Olympic champion can earn for one 30-second endorsement makes the average annual salary of most Americans look like pennies in an organ grinder's cup, by comparison.

There are, perhaps, a few who are not prompted by greed and fame, who wish their competitors well, and always play fair, and who skate or run or play solely for the love of the sport. If so, then they are champions, indeed, for not only must they overcome the physical challenges of the competition itself, but also the criminal and unsportsman-like conduct of those around them.

CORRECTIONS The editorial in the Feb. 1 issue of The Vista inadvertently printed that Janet Jackson said she knew what was going on, in regards to Michael Jackson's alleged child molestation. The editorial should have read LaToya Jackson said she knew what was going on. We regret the error.

LETTERS

Reader spends own 2 cents worth 'm sure Terri (of 2-cent fame) is a nice person, but her "column" proves to show little creativity and a lot of ignorance. Her stream-of-consciousness articles leave me thinking she's a few sandwiches short of a picnic. To use the word of our proverbial guru, it is " interesting" that she be given the almighty spoon to mix her weekly stew of gripes. Do you want to hear my gripes...every week? I have $25

i

worth of gripes to her "2 cents."

I'm sure those columns could be used for constructive journalism, not a personal journal. I suggest using her column space for facts... and as I understand it, that's what most newspapers have. However, you can rest assured that her work is of some use to me. Since her debut, I have carefully cut out each of her columns and placed them in a box...marked kindling.

Whether she tries to paint a

picture of a college freshman or wave the pro-choice flag, most of us don't really care to read her gripes. Terri, please tell us something we don't know. A while ago, I read an article that stated the federal government has pondered the idea of eliminating the use of pennies. Well, I know two we can start with...

Art show featured in Donna Nigh Art Gallery Paul Eddy

Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Art Scholarship Exhibition was formally opened this past Friday in the Donna Nigh Art Gallery.

The Kunc Award was given to Nina Head's oil painting titled "In Search of the Perfect Cup." "Oil painting is more forgiving and more sensual," said Head.

"Art was part of my life, my father was an architect, and my mother was an interior decorator. I hope to teach and open my own studio," said Head.

Two other artists were also honored. Dianne Adams McMahon for "Lap Throw" and Ginger Freeman for "Above and Below the Surface" were awarded the Juror's

Merit Award.

The main reason for this show is to show appreciation to our art students and to spotlight their talent, said Donna Nigh, who has been active in helping artists for several years. "I appreciate people who have the talent," said Nigh.

The opening was from 4 p. m.6:15 p. m., with many of the art students attending. Also in attendance were President Nigh; his wife, Donna and Mrs. Kathryn Kunc.

Among the works on display are a newsprint collage of Jim Morrison, by Daniel Van Buskirk and "Chalice" by Nancy Matheson.

The exhibit will be on display through Feb. 25.

Several of the works are still for sale, with prices ranging from $15 -

$645.

Jason Webb Paul Eddy

Student Writer The Oklahoma Anthropological Society elected Gene Hells tem, a retired history professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, as its president this past April.

Hellstern is serving a two-year term.

"The society has many needs, and we are currently busy with setting up and running commitees to deal with those needs," said Hellstem.

"We are trying to publicize the services that we can provide, and we are revising one of the point guides," said Hellstern.

Point guides are used in identifying types of arrowheads.

Many of the society's members, including Hellstern, visit schools and civic clubs throughout the state, bringing information about the effects historical cultures have had on this region.

The Anthropological Society consists of both professionals and non-professionals. They often

assist the Oklahoma Archaeological Survey which is Oklahoma's professional group.

The Anthropological Society has approximately 550 members.

The seminars range from digging techniques to the classifying of research.

Through these seminars many of the non-professional members become skilled excavators, said Hellstern.

The University of Central Oklahoma is forming a Student Homecoming Steering Committee to coordinate all Homecoming activities.

Anyone interested can fill out an application, which can be found in the Student Alumni office, and submit an essay focused on the following points: previous expe-

Olympic handball tryouts held at UCO

By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer Ask yourself what is the second most popular sport in the world.

Baseball, football? Wrong, it is team handball, a sport yet to reach the popularity in the U.S. as it has in Europe.

"Around the world people know what it is. But here...," said Jim Miller, volunteer coach.

Last weekend team handball came to the University of Central Oklahoma campus. TeamU.S.A., the Olympic Team Handball squad, held tryouts for the '96 Olympics to be held in Atlanta.

"Oklahoma is one of four or five handball states along with New York, Colorado, California and North Carolina," said Pat Querry, UCO instructor and Women's South Olympic Festival coach.

"The sport is like soccer with your hands, and it is high scoring," said Querry.

"We are trying to recruit new players for '96," said Vojtech Mares, Team U.S.A head coach.

"Under the conditions of the program it is not so attractive.

Players are not paid for their training and have to work, also there is little support from the Federation," said Mares.

"We are looking for tall guys

with good throwing strength to join our training team. We've lost many players over the years, it is tough keeping them together," said Mares.

Mares spent Saturday running the Olympic hopefuls through scrimmages, drills and going over video footage stressing offensive strategy to the players, all from Oklahoma.

"You have to be patient because this is something new to them," said Mares.

Before coming to the U.S., Mares coached the Kuwait Olympic team and the Czechoslovakian team. The Czech-born coach retired from competitive play in 1972 and has coached Team U.S.A. since 1989.

The object of team handball is to throw a number three soccer ball through a goal to score a single point. The field of play is 133 feet by 70 feet and is played on turf or a court. The player is allowed three steps before and after a dribble but can only hold the ball for 30 seconds while stationary.

The game is played in two 30 minute halves.

Mares believes the women have potential to place in Atlanta and the men have potential in the year 2000.

Miss Black UCO pageant Feb. 6 features 4 entries

By Michelle PeIler

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma's Mu tic ultural Student Services is sponsoring the 1994 Miss Black UCO Scholarship Pageant at 5 p.m. Feb. 6 in Mitchell Hall Theatre.

The contestants are Carla Mayes, Edmond, accounting major; Kristi Talton, Seminole, elementary education major; Tausha Walker, Lawton, political science major and Kyra McCoy, Tulsa, criminal justice major.

The winner of the 1994 Miss Black UCO title will receive a one-year tuition fee waiver scholarship, a wardrobe allowance, flowers, trophy and will represent UCO in the Miss Black Oklahoma pageant, said Barry Lofton, coordinator for Multicultural Student Services.

First and second runners-up will receive a one-semester tuition fee waiver scholarship and flowers, said Sonja Carter, pageant administrator for Miss Black UCO Pageant.

"There will be a personal interview, swimwear competition, tal-

ent competition, evening gown competition and on stage interview," Carter said.

This year's theme is "Diamonds are Forever."

"The reason why we have a Miss Black UCO pageant is to pay homage and remember those who at one time could not enter into the pageant system because of their race," Carter said.

"The pageant is part of our black history month celebration," Lofton said. "We do invite the entire UCO population to attend the pageant and the other activities during Black History Month."

The University of Central Oklahoma's music and opera theater division will present Jacque Offenbach's opera, "The Tales of Hoffinann", at 8 p.m., Feb. 24-26, and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 27 in Mitchell Hall Theatre.

"The Tales of Hoffmann" is a French fantasy opera loosely based on the life, work and misadventures ofE.T.A. Hoffmann. The English translation was produced

by Ruth and Thomas Martin and will be performed by a double cast

of UCO students and alumni. Featured guest appearances are alumni Jim Henline, Jim van Hemert, Kassey Gage and Don McDonald as Hoffmann himself, said Kay Creed, a vocal instructor at UCO. "The production will consist of a prologue, three acts and an epilogue. Hoffmann appears in both the prologue and epilogue, and the production will last about two and a half hours," said Creed.

Robert Pittenridge, costume designer for Shakespeare in the Park, is designing the costumes for the production cast of 72 members. The orchestra will feature students from the UCO orchestral department and will be led by Dr.

Man escapes from jail, uses stretch limousine as getaway car CLEVELAND (AP) — A man awaiting trial on bad check charges spared no expense on a getaway car after escaping from jail.

Jonathan L. Merino ordered a black stretch limousine, gave the driver $100 for the S45 fare and told him to keep the change.

Police searched for the 37-year-old native of Rochester, N.Y., Tuesday.

Merino walked out of the minimum-security Medina County Jail while on kitchen duty Saturday and called a limousine service from a gas station.

A gas station employee who found Merino's jail bracelet alerted police, who learned from the limousine company that a car was headed to the airport with a rider picked up two blocks from the jail.

The driver slowed to 50 mph after he was alerted by cellular phone that his passemzer was most probably a fugitive. But Merino asked to be dropped off in downtown Cleveland before the driver spotted a police car.

Authorities said they don't know how he got the cash and a change of clothes.

Sheriff L. John Ribar said Merino escaped through a gate left open for his department's cars.

No criminal charges filed against shop teacher for shocking students KEOTA, Okla. (AP) — Prosecutors won't file criminal charges against a Keota wood shop teacher who taught students the dangers of electricity by having them hold exposed copper wires that were plugged into an electrical outlet.

Children held hands as one held the wires to show how electricity could be passed through people, authorities said.

One student suffered minor burns on his fingers but did not require medical attention.

The Keota school district disciplined the teacher.

District Attorney Monte Brown said the district's action was a factor in the decision not to file criminal charges.

"I just felt like it was an exercise of very poor judgment, and not a criminal act," he said.

Principal Royce Rainwater said a letter of reprimand was placed in the teacher's file. He said the teacher wouldn't hurt anyone intentionally.

Brown said he decided against filing charges after interviewing nine students and talking to some parents.

Asked if any parents were upset about his decision, Brown said, "Not the ones I've been in contact with."

Court rules government must pay to remove tattoos from 4 women NEW DELHI, India (AP) — The government must pay plastic surgeons to remove the word "pickpocket" tattooed on the foreheads of four women, a court ruled Monday.

The women alleged that police scarred their foreheads because they refused to help an officer searching for Sikh separatists in Punjab. The police say citizens tattooed them as a warning to potential victims of pickpockets.

The case comes at a time when Indian courts are increasingly critical of police officers for violating human rights while investigating crimes.

Judges A.P. Chaudhury and G.C. Garg of the Punjab High Court asked the women to meet with doctors Thursday to schedule surgery, their lawyer, H.S. Grewal, said in an interview.

The judges said a report by three doctors indicated the tattoos could be removed, Grewal said.

The women were arrested in the Sikh holy city of Amritsar in December for allegedly stealing a tourist's purse. They women say they are innocent.

They claimed that a police officer used a ballpoint pen to write "pickpocket" on their foreheads, and a tatooist then used an electric needle to make the mark permanent.

The women petitioned the Punjab High Court for compensation to pay for surgery and for punishment of the two police officers they accused of ordering the tattooing.

The court has not issued a ruling on the officers.

In search of Oklahoma's wild College Senior

By Joe Umbarger

Column

Managing Editor (Continued from last issue) We have found a small herd of College Seniors at Wolftrap, and Two-point has attempted to shoot one of the bulls with the tranquilizer gun.

The bull charges us, however.

College Seniors have an unusually high tolerance to drugs, and one shot was apparently not enough to work on this particular male. Twopoint must try to get another dart into him before he runs us down.

Two-point aims a second time. The bull charges again, snorting angrily, but before he can get far, his eyelids droop, his legs buckle, and he falls.

Two-point and I rush over to him. We know we have to complete our work before the drug wears off, and with Seniors that could be any moment.

After making sure the bull College Senior is completely out, Two-point measures the bull's feet, teeth, hair, and so on, while I secure the electronic tag to the Senior's ear.

The tag will not harm the Senior in any way, and once the initial itching sensation wears off, the bull will forget all about it. He will neverknow it's there.

The tags that we have placed on the bull College Senior will not only allow future scientists to keep tabs on the individuals, but also migration patterns and eating and drinking locations.

A more modem, though some scientists claim less humane, way of obtaining this same information is to sting the Senior with an endless array of forms and questionnaires, but in the primitive wilderness of Oklahoma, ear-tagging is still the best method available.

Based on the information these tags provide, it may someday be necessary to relocate some of these college Seniors to other campuses in order to avoid over-crowding here and allow proliferation in other areas.

Rising costs, sluggish bureaucracies and a soft job market also contribute to the demise of the College Senior. Mankind must learn to correct these situations and others before it is too late, so that the College Senior can survive in its natural habitat for future generations to enjoy.

If something isn't done soon, one day the only places we might find College Seniors is in pictures, public zoos and unemployment offices.

AIDS cases increase in Oklahoma, OSBH reports

By Dayna Poarch

Staff Writer The increase in the number of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases in Oklahoma indicates the possibility of an epidemic in Oklahoma—an epidemic that can be prevented.

"Whatever one's religion or moral beliefs, there's plenty of room to teach about the danger of AIDS and how to prevent it, for AIDS is a preventable disease.

Every school, church, workplace, union hall and prison offers an opportunity," said Joseph Califano Jr., former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary.

Oklahoma was ranked third in the percent increase in AIDS cases in the United States in 1992. The number of people diagnosed with AIDS in Oklahoma reached 1,767 byJune 30, 1993, and 1,477 people tested positive for HIV antibodies, a statement released by the State Board of Health reported.

"Another frightening aspect of HIV is that because of the almost leisurely pace at which the disease progresses, many individuals will never know they are infected until they actually acquire the symptoms of the disease itself," said Thomas Peace, Commissioner of Health.

A study conducted in 1993 of college freshmen from across Oklahoma found that over 76 percent of the students had engaged in sexual intercourse.

Nationally, 19 percent of high school seniors surveyed have had four or more partners, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

Education, here, means more than talking about it. It must result in change away from behaviors that put a person at risk.

-Oklahoma State Board of Health

veyed attended public schools during the years following mandated education in Oklahoma.

People who do not consider themselves as a high risk, like heterosexual teenagers, will not realize they have been infected until they become sick, the State Board of Health reported.

Peace stated, "Because of its long incubation period, outbreaks of HIV infection follow rises in gonorrhea and syphilis by several years, but with such a high STD (sexually transmitted disease) rate in our younger population, we are gravely concerned."

The gonorrhea incidence rate for young people in Oklahoma aged 15 to 19 was 976 of 100,000 people compared to the rate for

the general population of 197 of 100,000 people.

Evidence shows that chlamydia affects more teenagers than any other group in Oklahoma.

"Education, here, means more than talking about it. It must result in change away from behaviors that put a person at risk," the Board of Health release stated.

The Oklahoma State Board of Health's priority is educating the public, specifically young people, about STDs. "The scientific evidence presents a reality—when teenagers choose to be sexually active, appropriate counseling to enable them to know the consequences and implications of their behavior must be readily available through community organizations, health departments and other social institutions that have access to teenagers during this important formative period," the Board of Health stated.

The Wesley Foundation, which provides confidential AIDS testing, examines approximately 150 students a year, said the Foundation director, Cooper Ames.

Ten to 30-minute counseling sessions are held to discuss the individuals risk behavior and condom use, he said.

UCO English prof brings humor to class

By Rachel Hacker Student Writer

The Roman Catholic Priest, with an eye on his target, glides to the center of the rink. Wearing his traditional black suit, he slams the hockey puck into the net as a spray of ice explodes into the air.

For Dr. Amy Carrell, a new English professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, this was a normal occurrence. A native of Gary, Indiana, she grew up a Protestant child in a Catholic church run by "ice hockey -lovin" priests.

Hockey led her to sports, writing and English. Carrell graduated from Purdue University with a Ph.D in linguistics, a M.A. in rhetoric and composition, and a B.A. in English. She brings to UCO not only experience in English but in sportswriting and research humor.

Recently a memberof the Board of Consulting Editors for Humor: International Journal of Humor Research, she has written two books dealing with research humor. However, don't expect to see her performing stand-up on

the Letuznnan show anytime soon.

"I will probably not be on the Letterman show unless someone wants to find out why David Letterman is funny," she said.

But her students think Carrell is funny.

"Every now and then. I'll get a good one, and they'll laugh."

Carrell laughs when she recalls how she got the job at UCO. While in a New York hospital, she argued with her doctor to release her in order to answer a phone interview for the job. She was in labor at the time. Carrell

Campus Earth Summit will focus on environment Stacye Koch

Student Writer

Students are tired of environmental problems and have decided to do something about it, starting with their schools.

The Campus Earth Summit being held at Yale University Feb. 18 - 20 will be the first time students, administrators and environmental leaders will work together to produce a set of guidelines about the environment and universities.

"From solid waste to radioactive waste, campus policies reflect society's poor environmental practices," said Jeff Courey, chair of the 1994 Campus Earth Summit and the Yale Student Environment Coalition.

The Summit will be focusing on the decrease of solid waste, energy use, toxic chemicals and water use by universities, as well as making environmental education a top priority.

The University of Central Oklahoma also has programs geared toward the environment.

David Bass , biology professor at UCO and co-chairman of the

1994 UCO Earth Day, is gearing up for this year's celebration to be held on April 20.

"It will be very similar to last year's celebration," Bass said.

Some of the suggestions to be given at the Summit include recycling programs, decreasing building temperatures and using fluorescent lighting instead of incandescent lighting. These suggestions have proven to save thousands of dollars and decrease landfill space by 15 percent.

Steps are taken at UCO to conserve water such as recycling water and using valves that decrease water flow in restrooms. A paper and aluminum recycling program, even though not organized, is underway.

"As a university, we need to be recycling as much as possible," Bass said.

Debbie Frank of Fenton Cornmunications in Washington, D.C. is putting together a "how-to" packet so schools that aren't represented at the Summit can still get started on their own. Fenton is handling publicity for the Summit.

Student Writer Freshman Lometa Woods won the title of Queen at the annual Miss University of Central Oklahoma Pageant last Saturday night. Heather Geery, Miss UCO 1993, handed down her crown so Woods could serve as Queen for the upcoming year.

The other eight contestants were Danielle Janney, Michelle LaZure, Tanae Pearson, Lisa Poling, Whitney Zeka, Sherri Johnson, Brandi Chambers and Kelly Barnes.

The contestants participated in swimsuit, talent and eveningwear competition. Woods' talem, which consisted of 40 percent of the total score, was a tap dance called "Lullaby ofBroadway."

Poling won several awards at the pageant as well, including the People's Choice, Director's Award and first-runner-up.

Miss Oklahoma Elizabeth Moseley served as master of ceremonies for the pageant and provided part of the entertainment for the night.

At Purdue, she remained a sportswriter for four years. She was also a staff advisor and coach of Purdue University's Ice Hockey Club.

Carrell is happy about her decision to travel to UCO. "I think the students are terrific.

They are more interested and motivated."

"Prepare yourself as widely as you can. Be flexible."

Allowing herself to be flexible has led Carrell from ice hockey to a career in teaching English.

New position means more networking Stacye Koch

Student Writer

Plans for networking the campus together have given Dr. Maithreyi Manoharan the opportunity to coordinate two University of Central Oklahoma departments.

Manoharan has recently been promoted from director of the UCO computing center to assistant vice-president for computing services and telecommunications.

Manoharan said she was an obvious choice for the promotion since she was already doing the job.

"It was more of a title change than a position change," Manoharan said.

She said that with her title change, it is going to be much easier to do her job.

"Before, I could network the computers, but I would have to write a job order for the electrical lines," Manoharan stated. "Now, I have the ability to write up one order for everything, and it will get done."

Most of her time is spent meeting with different department heads and putting together plans to network their buildings.

Manoharan said that they call her and tell her they have some money and want her to come over and see what they are going to need.

"I try to make sure that my plans are adaptable to their plans of where they want to be in five years," she stated.

"Some of the older buildings are going to take a lot of time," Manoharan said. "Those buildings are simply not wired for that much expansion."

Manoharan is also getting ready for a new project involving the phone lines.

"The campus is growing so quickly, the phone switches can't handle the expansion," she said.

"For right now, we are getting separate switches and putting them together. But we hope to put the whole campus on one switch soon."

Manoharan said that she has more responsibilities with her new position, but she doesn't mind.

"The networking is a project that will be on-going but I am looking forward to having the whole campus linked," she said.

UCO to sponsor "Call for Abstracts" Jason Webb Student Writer

The Annual Graduate College Colloquium will sponsor a "Call for Abstracts" on April 26, to share results of the research carried out by the faculty at the University of Central Oklahoma. Although the location is not yet de-

termined, the Liberal Arts Building is being considered.

The research, conducted by the graduate students and their respective professors, varies from college to college.

Dr. George Avellano, dean of graduate students, said that there were 104 participants in last year's colloquium, and he expects up to

125 entries this year.

In conjunction with the colloquium, Dr. Charles W. Latham will conduct a workshop on grant writing from 1:30 p.m. 4:30 p.m.

Latham, who holds workshops all over the United States, has experience in grant writing, as well as success in acquiring funding.

Cunningham breaks record, UCO sweeps duals

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

Keith Cunningham became the University of Central Oklahoma's winningest wrestler this weekend while leading the team through four dual victories.

Cunningham broke the record of four-time national champion Johnny Nimmo, who was 131-381 from 1987-90.

"I don't have to worry about people talking to me about that part of the season. Now I can concentrate on the rest of the sea-

son and nationals," said Cunningham.

Cunningham, a two-time defending national champion, is 274 and has a 17-match winning streak and a career total of 132-40.

Against no. 20-ranked South Dakota State Friday night the Bronchos breezed through the lower and middle weights. SDSU came on strong at the end getting victories at 177, 190 and heavyweight to make it look respectable as UCO cruised to a 26-16 victory.

"We looked tired and flat. Give South Dakota credit, they wrestled hard. We need to be winning

those types of matches this time of year," said Head Coach David James.

At the NCAA Division II Showdown Duals in Wichita, Kan., UCO sailed to a 46-6 blasting of Fort Hays S tate in their first round of the duals. UCO went on to route No. 9 Adams State 35-10 and No. 5 Southern Colorado 32-6 in the finals as the Bronchos keep a 25 -match winning streak overNCAA Division II opponents.

The Bronchos go to New Mexico Feb. 3 and return home to wrestle SIU-Edwardsville this Saturday.

Johnny Tyson, the 6-10 junior college transfer, had a school record- tying 8 blocked shots and leads NCAA Division II players with an average of 5.1 blocks per game.

In Monday's game, UCO scored 56 second-half points to race past the lions of East Texas St. 100-80 after trailing 45-44 at the half.

The Bronchos opened the second half with a 23-8 scoring burst.

UCO was lead by Junie Sanders

with 22 points and 11 rebounds while Zoderick Green scored 16.

Tyson had another outstanding game scoring 11 points, pulling down 12 rebounds and blocking seven shots.

could do more," Jojo says.

Jojo qualifies as an actor and play director in his home town of Accra, which is the capital of Ghana. He and Doreen both graduated from the University of Ghana in Legon where she received her law degree, and he got a degree in the performing arts.

Before leaving Accra, Jojo appeared in a weekly production called "Thursday Theater," as well as numerous plays.

"I'm going to go back to Ghana once I get my degree. I'llbe better off, because I'llhave a wider base to offer in the arts. Here I have a disadvantage because of my accent. I can go back to the following I had before I left," he says.

In addition to school, Jojo works about 60 hours a week, working odd jobs here and there. Some jobs include cleaning, sweeping and washing cars, as well as his public relations duties at The Vista.

With all this, he seems to be almost too busy to think about his wife. But he does.

"It's not easy having such a pretty wife and being far away.

The other day, a woman walked by, and my heart jumped. For a moment, I thought that it was my wife. She looked very much like her. She walked like her, she was short like her, she wore glasses like her," he says.

Jojo met his wife at church one

Copy Editor Jojo Takyi-Micah wears a coat of many colors, sort of like a chameleon. He is a student, a storyteller, an actor, a play director and an African dancer, to name a few.

But perhaps the coat he rarely gets to wear is that of husband.

Jojo, an international student from Ghana, Africa, came to Oklahoma without his wife over a year ago to further his education, and he hasn't seen her since.

"We were expecting that she would come home for Christmas, put the American embassy did not give her a visa. The problem is that if we are both here, they think we will like America so much that we will stayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;wrong," he says.

Jojo and his wife, Doreen, literally lead separate lives. With his youthful appearance and personality, Jojo looks like a typical international student, rather than a 33-year-old-married man. He keeps busy with school functions and work, while she leads the life of a branded woman.

"Ghana is a very interesting country. My wife cannot go out by herself. She cannot do anything because the whole society will look down hard on her, knowing she is married. She goes places with her parents, but if I were there, she

Saturday morning about eight years ago, where, according to him, it was love at first sight.

"I was taking the youth group on a beach trip that day. I walked in and knew most of the people, except for this lovely lady in a red dress," he says, remembering as if it were yesterday.

"I began playing my guitar and sang a song, directing it toward her. We then went to the beach and had a wonderful time together.

One week later, I proposed to her.

She didn't say no, but she said she thought I wasn't ready. We dated for six years and finally, on Dec. 28, 1991, we were married," Jojo says.

They were only married four months before Jojo left Ghana to attend his brother's wedding in Edmond. At his brother's coaxing, he decided to stay and attend college here.

"Leaving was hard," he says. "I called her and told her what I was doing. I haven't seen her since then, so I really don't know how she felt. But I heard her reaction over the telephone, and it was loud.

However, she understands," he says.

Jojo plans to graduate in a year and a half and doesn't expect to see his wife anytime before then.

All he says he needs is $1,800, and he would be more than happy to go if even for the shortest visit.

"I would have left Oklahoma a

long time ago if I hadn't put my shoulder to the wheel. Once I start something, I have to see it through.

My biological clock is ticking, though," he says with a laugh.

Surely his wife's clock is too.

But for now, they are ticking on different clocks in different time zones.

Night Flight allows visitors to fly combat Matt Williamson

Student Writer

At 29,000 feet above the earth things just don't look the same.

Clouds have height, water becomes a mirror and mountains shrink to become mole hills.

Add in the fact that you are moving at speeds greater than a thousand miles per hour, and someone else wants you blown out of the sky, things take on a different feel all together.

The Oklahoma Air Space Museum wants visitors to experience just that in its newest interactive exhibit, Thrustmaster Air Combat Room, during Night Flight Night Flight will be from 6 - 9 p.m. beginning March 1 and con-

g-)- eiefict

timing every Tuesday through March.

"This is the very first time in the history of the Air Space Museum that we will be open to the general public at night," said Mike Berkeley, museum program developer.

"We wanted to make the museum available to those whose daily schedule conflicts with normal business hours."

The Thrustmaster Air Combat Room is Phase II of a three-phase plan.

"Phase I was the Cimarron Field Room," said Berkeley.

"Thrustmaster is the second phase and the Clarence E. Page Flight Simulator which will consist of 25 or 30 computer flight simulators will be the third and final

phase."

The Air Space Museum raised $50,000 for the Thrustmaster Air Combat Room. Half of the monies came from numerous private donations, and the rest came from Harold Stewart of Tulsa "Visitors can strap themselves into one of the cockpits in the Thrustmaster Air Combat Room," said Berkeley. "And experience the thrill of dogfighting in a headto-head confrontation simulating flight in some of today's most exciting aircraft."

Admission costs for NightFlight are $3 and an additional $3 for 30 minutes of flight.

For more information call the museum at 427-5461.

The Prevention Marketing Initiative includes a series of public service announcements for radio and television targeting sexually active men and women between 18 and 25 who are at a higher risk for HIV infection.

"B y age 20, 86 percent of young men and 77 percent of young women report having had intercourse, according to the CDC. Our duty as public health officials is to save lives," said Donna E. Shalala, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary.

"Young people need to know that the surest way to prevent AIDS is to refrain from having sex, but we also need to be realistic," she said.

Two-thirds of the 12 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases each year occur in people under 25, said CDC Director Dr. David Satcher. The campaign is focusing on young people because AIDS has become a leading cause of death for this age group.

Study tour in Europe offered to students Paul Eddy Student Writer The Treasures of Central Europe Study Tour is planned from May 15 to May 29. The tour may be taken for either graduate or undergraduate credit during the summer semester.

The tour is limited to approximately 25 participants, and the first deposit of $400 is due by Feb. 11. Northeastern Oklahoma A &

M will also be participating in the tour.

Dr. Siegfried Heit, a professor in the department of humanities and philosophy at the University of Central Oklahoma, will be in charge of the tour.

The cost of the tour is estimated at $1800-2000. The tourprice does not include the cost for the credit hours.

Currently planned are visits to Berlin, Munich, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg and other well-known

cities. Activities include tours of the Pergamum and Egyptian Museums in Berlin. There will also be lectures at the universities given by professors there.

Heit has studied at German universities and has conducted study tours since 1970. He is also involved with the Fulbright Institute on campus.

"This is the first organized tour of Central Europe sponsored by the Humanities Department," said Heit. "The first trip is always the

hardest to get organized."

"To actually see the art and architecture of the historic cities of Central Europe makes Humanities come alive and become real," said Heit.

Annette Crutchfield is one of the students taking the tour.

"I'm mainly taking it because Heit is the tour leader, and I've learned so much in his classes, he has broadened my intrests. I want to see as much as I can," said Crutchfield.

Wes Watkins switches party to run for governor

By Michelle Peller

Staff Writer Former Congressman Wes Watkins dropped his party affiliation from Democrat to Independent Jan. 7, making his way easier to run for governor in November.

"In the past I have always been an independent Democrat, but today I've become an Independent in our democratic society," he said.

"I never have and never will be owned or controlled by a political party, political boss nor special interest group."

Watkins said by dropping his affiliation with the Democratic party he can represent the public, not a political group.

"I think truly as an independent, the people would know I'm only obligated to the people," he said.

"I will put the people first. They won't have to question that."

Watkins said that as an Independent his advantages would be to give people a chance to vote their heart.

"It will give more independentminded voters in Oklahoma, whether they're Democrat or Republican, the opportunity to win technically over one third of the vote," he said.

Watkins said that recent surveys show that 82 percent of Oklahoma voters will vote for the person instead of the party.

"I think it's an obvious fact that we're an independent state," he said.

Watkins won the Democratic gubernatorial primary in 1990, but lost to David Walters in the runoff.

"I lost only about 1 percent in the run-off to David Walters," said Watkins.

Watkins said that if he is elected, Oklahoma will see the most competitive pro-industrial job market for this state.

"I want to build the most proindustrial job growth I can for the future of our people," he said.

Advantages in running as an Independent, Watkins said, include bypassing costly and divisive primary elections.

A second advantage is that running only one campaign for the general election "will cost half the amount" of running separate races for the primary, run-off and general election, he said.

"This will be a historical election that will change politics as usual in Oklahoma," he said.

"Let my motive and purpose be clear to every Oklahoman," he said. "I want to pull together the best of Oklahoma—both Democrats and Republicans—to reform and to lead Oklahoma out of the darkness of partisan bickering and

political scandals."

Watkins said that if elected he would bypass political standstills and put the issues before the people to resolve.

"I will be positive and constructive in my relationships, but let there be no mistake," Watkins said.

"All my life I have cared deeply about this state, and before Okla-

homa sinks deeper into partisan political gridlock, I will take issue after issue directly to the people by initiative petition.

Watkins said that after filing in 7

July, he will automatically go to the November election ballot.

The campaign will begin in early summer, possibly June or July, Watkins said.
