Needle-toting bandit holds up restaurant TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A restaurant worker acted prudently in complying with a robber who waved a syringe and said he had the AIDS virus, police said.

The man, described by witnesses as about 20 years old, escaped with an undetermined amount of cash.

He entered the restaurant Sunday night and asked >to fill out an employment application, detective Bill Ward said. The man then passed a note to a worker saying he was HIVpositive and asking to be taken to the safe.

"That's when he showed her the hypodermic needle," Ward said.

"That's the first time we' ve ever heard of that as a weapon."

Elephant runs amok PALM BAY, Fla. (AP) — An 8,000-pound elephant went berserk at a big top, running out of the ring with five children and a woman on its back and trying to trample a police officer before being shot to death.

The elephant knocked down a highwire platform in the ring as handlers tried to regain control at the Great American Circus on Saturday. Panicked spectators in the crowd of about 500 fled the grandstands.

The elephant continued running amok outside the main tent, and was shot more than 25 times and finally killed near a cluster of circus trailers.

The University of Central Oklahoma Student Senate leaders decided to delay their regular meeting time Monday in order to become more in touch with problems facing "regular" students.

Carole Crawley, senate speaker, said the members canvassed students at several campus locations and received valuable input that will help the senators formulate new legislation.

"Instead of old business we will be having small group discussions," Crawley said.

"This is to utilize the ideas provided to us by the students.

"I feel that the students of this university have many wonderful ideas, and the senate, as representatives of the student body, should turn these ideas into reality," she said.

Senator Joacquin Stevens said he talked to a number of students Monday who were very receptive, and provided valuable insight.

"It went really well," Stevens said. For a lot of students the big issue was parking, and some were concerned about where student activity fees go. People mentioned more afternoon classes and thought that might help the parking situation."

Stevens said that in all more that 200 students were surveyed. The student senate plans to use the results to help formulate new legislation.

"It's important to feel the pulse of the student body," he said.

Concerning the resolution that an earned doctorate should not be a requirement for the presidency, Crawley said she received

Driver DWI twice WYANDANCH, N.Y. (AP) — A man was arrested on drunken driving charges twice in one day, the second time after his car veered across a median and collided with another car in an accident that killed the other driver, police said.

Clarence Scales, 43, was arrested at a hospital in Long Island Sunday and charged a second time with driving while intoxicated, Detective Sgt. James S. Shields said.

He was first arrested and charged at 2:45 a.m. Saturday, and released on his own recognizance—a standard procedure for first-time offenders police said.

Parking garage would benefit all

z

I

n the Feb. 4 issue of The Vista, on page four, University of Central Oklahoma Police Chief Bob Roberts said there was plenty of parking space available east of Wantland Stadium that was not being utilized. He also mentioned that it was a five to seven minute walk to the middle of the campus from that lot.

This is true, but there is one point the chief overlooked.

Students, like most Americans, live in a fast-paced world and want close, quick parking.

In the same issue of The Vista on page six, new Director of Auxiliary Services A.K. Rahman said he wanted to build a parking garage on UCO's campus. Students would save money donating to this cause, as opposed to the amount they pay for parking tickets, and everyone would get what they want.

Japanese attack fuels anger

I

n the face of recent anti-America statements from members of the Japanese government, "Buy American" is agai n becoming popular bumper-sticker philosophy.

When a high-ranking official said America had become "Japan's subcontractor" and 30 percent of U.S. workers can't read, it raised America's hackles, and rightly so.

When Japan's prime minister said U.S. workers are lazy, Americans were justifiably disgusted.

The citizens of this country have every right to strike back with all their economic might. But, excluding Japanese products and buying American may not be as easy as it seems.

Citizens in Greece, N.Y., voted to buy John Deere excavating equipment for $55,000 even though they could have purchased a competitor, Komatsu, for $40,000. Imagine their surprise when they learned the John Deere engine was made in Japan and the Komatsu was made in the U.S. Auto manufacturers constantly urge Americans to buy domestic cars, but many vehicles with American labels are actually made in Japan. And no cars produced today are made exclusively from American parts.

Someday, if righteous indignation prevails, people may be able to "Buy American," but it may cost more than anyone can afford to pay.

Grooviness radiates from editor

M

ark Lewman is just about the grooviest boy in the galaxy, not counting my dad. In the 23 years the universe has been graced with his presence, Lew has edited four— count 'em, four—magazines.

Since I have always been such a Jane Pratt wanna-be, I nearly passed out when I heard this. Editor of four magazines? Somebody pinch me.

For those of you who, unlike me, don't place magazine editors up there with David Letterman on the Cool People Scale, never fear.

Even if Lew didn't have the fabbest job around, he would still fry my bacon. Allow me to quote from his brilliant short story, "Rain, Trains and Pain."

As the products of the greatest industrial nation on the earth were pulled across the country towards awaiting K-Marts, Roger unzipped his hip pack and pulled out what remained of his bankroll. $102.00. It was curious how much more in tune one become' s with one's financial situation as the money begins leaving, first in glorious fisulls, then in sporadic bursts. He folded the bills several times to give the wad an appearance of thickness, the same way a balding man might comb his hair over the receding hairline to convince himself that he wasn't so bad off; really.

The way Lew writes sends this gal straight to Goose Bump City.

Even if you don't usually groove on this type of writing, it's hard to deny that this guy's oozing with literary talent.

So, when I was told I had an interview with a magazine editor, I dove for the phone and called Lewwums. Even though I've already made it obvious I worship this magazine god (little g), I will totally try my darnedest to be unbiased in this interview with the hippest man alive (O.K., so it's not working yet—sue me.)

On a chilly Friday I picked up the phone and, after making sure I didn't have lipstick on my teeth,

called Mark Lewman, editor of Dirt magazine, a new publication aimed at teenage boys. Teenage girls have Teen, Seventeen and Sassy to help guide them through the teen years from hell, but what do boys have? This void in magazineville was noticed by three enterprising young fellows (enter Spike, Andy and Lew) who decided to do something about this el problemo. They came up with the concept for Dirt and with a little bit of help from their friends at Sassy, the bible for boys was born.

"The staff is a real close-knit group. I kind of act as staff writer more than editor because the entire staff consists of myself and my two friends, Spike and Andy. Our equivalent to a staff meeting is us just sitting around throwing out ideas and brainstorming—real laidback. We then run our ideas by a secondary group of friends and get their input," Lew said.

Lew, Spike Jonze and Andy Jenkins pretty much singlehandedly created the first issue of Dirt; copy, graphics and photography were produced with minimal help from anyone else. As an aspiring magazine journalist, I fmd this mighty amazing. And even though Lew had loads of experience, he had never dealt with such a broad audience before.

"Dirt is a lot different for me because Go (the magazine Lewman previously edited) has what's called a vertical audience. That's two lines going up and down— within those lines are teenage boys who like to ride bikes," Lew explained. "The broader your audience is, the harder it gets. We're trying to satisfy kids in Ohio who listen to Warrant and kids in Minnesota who listen to Slayer...We're dealing with a total mix."

The fact that they're dealing with such a variety of teenage boys was confirmed by the results of the survey which appeared in the first issue of Dirt. One of the questions asked what other publications the boys regularly read.

No publication rect..ived a wide majority of votes. Instead, a whole gaggle of magazines was mentioned. Lew explained that this info told the staff and publisher there was not a magazine out there which met the needs of the male teenage majority.

The title "publisher" sort of threw me off. Altho, gh I have heard the word countless times before, I have never quite grasped what publishers do, exactly. Like if Lew wanted to print something, did he have to get the publisher's approval? At risk of sounding brainless, I asked Mr. Magazine what was up with those mysterious publishers. To my delight, Lew didn't act like I had just asked the stupidest question on earth.

"The publisher gives us a lot of freedom but does have guidelines.

Sometimes they say things we don't agree with. They're worried we'll offend someone," he answered. "Like they'll say we can't put the word 'shit' in there because then advertisers won't put their ad in the magazine. We argue that we didn't say 'shit,' the person we interviewed did. We don't want to censor that. But the publisher does provide balance. It's kind of like the separation between church and state."

Yowza. And not only is this dude profound, he's also mucho polite. On the phone, Lew was very nice and not snobby at all, even though he had no recollection of our first meeting and had no idea who I was (boo hoo).

When they were in Oklahoma for the BMX Nationals last November, I met Spike and Lew at a club in Norman. Even though I didn't know who he was at the time, I could tell within the first five minutes of meeting him that Lew was the coolest boy I had ever encountered. He kept asking irresistible, off-the-wall questions like "What's your favorite action verb?" and "Do you know what

Convenience store comes to campus

By Shene Murphy Staff Writer

Willie Maxwell thinks that eating is a big part of academic life, and gets satisfaction when he gets compliments from the students about the food service. He now waits for the input he will receive when the campus opens their first convenient store, The Central Express.

"Instead of students going off campus to get supplies, why not supply them with a facility on campus," he said.

A.K. Rahman, director of auxilary services, came up with this idea to open a convenient store on campus, Maxwell said.

Maxwell has been appointed manager of the store, and he also holds the managerial responsibilities of Central caferteria.

Maxwell said he has spoken with the students to get ideas on what to have in the stores."Student output is very essential, because the item list will change with a demand from the students," "We will try to offer what a Circle K, or a 7-eleven has to offer, but closer to the residence halls," Maxwell said. "Something which will be helpful to the stu-

dents who do not have the transportation to go and get these items."

The items which will be offered are: snacks, health and beauty aids, food, microwavable food, school supplies, such as paper, pens and pencils, and folders, he said.

"The more business we get from the students, we can increase the hours, employment, as well as the items," he said.

"I have tried to employ as many students who live on-campus as well as off."

Maxwell said they try to supply these things for students, because they would not be able to get them after the cafeteria or the bookstore closes.

"This will also benefit the students on Sundays, because there is not any food services open."

Store hours will be from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, the store will be located between West hall and on the northside of Central Cafeteria, Maxwell said.

"I enjoy my job and working with students," he said. "The hours I spend with the store will not bother me, because I try to do everything I can to please the students." V

Artist returns to New York

By Pam Thurman Staff Writer John Bishop left the University of Central Oklahoma Wednesday to return to New York where rehearsal begins this month for his play, "Empty Hearts."

Bishop recently won the New American Play Award, and received a $60,000 grant from the Fund for New American Plays established by the American Express Corporation. The money was issued to the Circle Repertory Theatre where his play will be produced.

Bishop is an artist-in-residence at UCO.

"Any kind of award is an affirmation of a writer's work, and an encouragement to keep doing it," Bishop said.

The production, which will open at the Circle Repertory Theatre, April 25, will star Mel Harris, best known for her role in "Thirtysomething," and her husband Cotter Smith, star of "Equal Justice."

His new play is one of many things keeping Bishop busy.

He has completed a film, "Tonight We Ride," about the Texas Rangers for Turner Network, Bishop said. He is currenty working on a military movie about the Navy Seals for Simpson/ Bruckheimer films, and is also

writing a screenplay with his oldest son.

Although he may not be able to return to teach for a while, Bishop said he has been very impressed with all the writers at UCO, especially the screenwriters.

"I'm so encouraged by the quality of writing that I've organized a small development company here in Oklahoma," Bishop said. "It's still a good three to five years away from ever doing anything...but people are interested and something could happen."

"I always like to come to Oklahoma," Bishop said. "Teaching focuses me, and I get a lot done." V

Celebration planned for sports week

Director runs a 'well-oiled machine'

By Penny Owen

Staff Writer

By Pam Thurman Staff Writer To celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports Week the University of Central Oklahoma will honor its current and former women athletes with two events on Saturday, Feb. 8.

A landscape bench will be dedicated to all past UCO female athletes and coaches at 4 pin. in front of Wantland Hall, said Dr. Virginia Peters, professor of health, physical education, recreation and dance.

The history of women's sports at UCO will be the focus of a special half-time program during the UCO Lady Bronchos basketball game against Fast Texas State at 6 p.m. The program will pay tribute to all women athletes including UCO's All-American women athletes and former coaches, Peters said.

For more information contact Peters at ext. 5234. V

Lining the office shelves of the University of Central Oklahoma's new physical plant director are a smorgasboard of model airplanes, baseball caps and coffee mugs he has collected over the past two decades as a public administrator in Kansas City and Dallas.

But, as a native of Claremore, Okla., he said he still considers himself just a small town boy trying to make a living in the city.

Don Powers stepped into the directorship position last December after physical plant director David McClellan resigned. His job is to ensure that his 105 full-time employees, 75 student employees and 20 Department of Correction employees keep the mechanical systems working across campus.

"We've got a ways to go before I can say this place runs like a well-oiled machine," said Powers, who has an MBA in Economics from the University of Tulsa. "But the staff here is excellent, and the facility, for its size, age and

Powers said he will do what he does best to get the campus in top running order. He said he plans to develop a team approach to tackling problems, and apply his technical and managerial skills to gett;n a things done.

Powers said five items are currently at the top of his list: • To improve the below average condition of the infrastructures and roofs on campus; • To devise fire evacuation plans for all buildings; • To computerize the preventive maintenance plans for the plant's 107 service vehicles; • To devise a master plan for all utilities, and • To instill more preventive maintenance overall.

Another of Powers' concerns is the handicap accessibility on campus. In December, at the suggestion of New Horizons Unlimited, a

"The accessibility on campus is fair," he said. "But I think that in two to three years it could be viewed as excellent with completion of some projects."

Those projects include building elevators in the Home Economics Building and Old North, installing $40,000 in automatic doors and adding more curb cuts for ramps.

Powers said that one of his strengths is to pinpoint problems before they get out of hand. He told of one time, however, when, while working at Love Field in Dallas, the power at the terminal was out for five days.

His job was to keep the airport open in spite of no power, which he said he did by stringing wire and generators across the airport.

Program targets drunk drivers

By Roger Groce Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) is beginning a drinking and driving prevention program called "Drive a Friend," said Peter Regan, chapter president.

The program will initially target resident students and then the entire Greek system at UCO, Regan said.

"It is a pertinent issue that affects the whole student body. If successful, we plan to work with other clubs and organizations on campus and expand the program to all students," Regan said.

ATO Social Chairman, Rob Breintenstein, said that beginning

in mid-February, Thursday through Saturday nights, from 9 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. a UCO greek or resident student can call the ATO house, and be driven home free of charge.

"If the call comes from an area far outside Edmond we will ask for a small contribution for gas," Regan said.

"The good thing about the program," said ATO Alumni Advisor, William Ramos, "is that when you call there are no questions asked."

Ramos tried to begin the program last semester, but was unsuccessful, he said.

The current program was created because of an accident last semester involving two Sigma Tau Gamma members and three Sigma Kappa members. The accident claimed the life of Holly An-

derson, Ramos said.

"It happened once," said Breintenstein, referring to the accident, "and affected everybody on campus. It will never be forgotten and we want to learn from it."

"What has happened, happened. And we're trying to progress positively through that and get this off the ground," Breintenstein said.

Toby Simpson, Sigma Tau Gamma president, expressed enthusiasm for the program.

"I completely respect them for doing that," Simpson said. "We would do a lot better if we had people supporting the same cause."

For information regarding the "Drive a Friend" program call the ATO house at 341-9831. V
