Welfare chief goes undercover NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's welfare chief went undercover as a welfare applicant to get a look at the bureaucracy from the bottom up and found herself being scolded. misdirected and "depersonalized." Sabol used a fake identify and wore jeans and a sweatshirt as well as a wig or scarf to keep from being recognized. An aide said she spent at least 23 days posing as a welfare recipient between February and October of last year. Sabol, who went undercover with the knowledge of Mayor David Dinkins, said she has discussed what she found with the executive in charge of income-support programs so employee training could be changed.
Uninsured's cars may be impounded TULSA, Okla, (AP) — Drivers and car owners without auto liability insurance could have their cars and trucks impounded if the vehicles are involved in an accident, under a bill introduced in the House. Rep. Larry Adair, D-Stilwell, said he wanted to do something about what he said is the growing number of drivers without liability insurance. State law currently limits the Department of Public Safety to suspending the license of an uninsured driver. Rep. Shelby Satterfield, D-Tulsa, arguedagainstit, noting many people could not afford to get their car om of impoundment and buy liability insurance at the same time.
Hillary gets letter CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Egypt's women writers are appealing to Hillary Rodham Clinton to speak out against rape and other war crimes being committed against Bosnian women in former Yugoslavia. In an open letter, the Association of Egyptian Women Writers urged Mrs. Clinton to "come out strongly in support of the international condemnation of the atrocities being perpetrated against the women of BosniaHerzegovina ..."

sion . Twenty-five percent of enrollment in the funeral service degree program at the University of Central Oklahoma are women. Women are often viewed by the public as natural caregivers said many funeral directors. Dr. Kenneth Curl, chairman of the college of mathematics and Science at UCO said many students studying funeral service are young people recently graduated from high school. But increasingly many more are older people studying for a second career. The funeral service program was started at the university in 1964 and was the first degree program in funeral service offered in the world. The degree in funeral service at UCO is one of only three offered in the nation and is considered a model for funeral service education in the nation, said Curl. Many funeral directors see their profession as one of caregiving. Their job is to help guide the bereaved through the necessary stages of grief so that they may come to terms with the death of a loved one in a healthy way. "The purpose of the funeral ceremony is to get people to face the death and work out their grief," said Curl. "A person may spend two to three years to fully work through the five stages of grief which are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance," said Curl. Asa Smith is funeral director and owner of Asa Smith Funeral Home in Harrah ;a small town in central Oklahoma. Smith began working in a funeral home when he was 15 years old to make extra money. He emptied trash, swept floors and answered the telephone after school. When the assistant of the funeral director he was working for died, Smith became more and more involved with the business. He received his embalmers license before he was 21 years old and has been a funeral director for more than 31 years. "It is a ministry working with grieving people. Not just anyone can do it," Smith said. "It's been very rewarding. We've been able to help so many people over the years and people don't forget that."

Use Operation Safe Walk, don't be a victim A crime occurs, the victim reports it, and the respective law enforcement responds. That's the way it usually happens. The officers may solve it and they may not. It's impossible to predict when a person will become a victim. But measures can be taken to prevent the probability of being one. The University of Central Oklahoma Police Department must be applauded for its attempt to decrease that probability by developing Operation Safe Walk. The volunteers who make OSW a success should get a pat on the back as well. OSW is one of many preventative measures that the campus police have initiated to make this campus safer. Call boxes located around the campus have greatly increased the safety of students, faculty, and staff.
Kevin Blankenship/The Vista The campus police budget has problems keeping a positive ratio with the number of students it has to serve. OSW is a measure that enables the campus police to keep up with the growing student population effectively within its budget. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to use OSW. Call boxes are located in nearly every building on campus. All it takes is a push of a button to significantly cut the chances of being a victim. In 1992, 608 individuals were escorted and 2,219 welfare checks(security patrols) were performed. That's a small number in relation to the student population which means funding for the program will not be high on the agenda. UCO police say there hasn't been any donations for the program. They say they would gratefully accept shirts for the escorts. This is wrong. Funding from the university should cover eight shirts. When the master plan puts parking lots on the outer perimeter of the university, escorts are going to be the only preventative measure against being robbed, raped, or assaulted on the less than 10 minute walk to an individuals vehicle. OSW will be an important factor in the master plan and now is the time to get it on its feet. In the mean time, OSW volunteers should be paid. They should have uniforms. Crime is costly. Preventing crime is costly as well. Funding is needed for OSW. UCO will be a safer campus for it.

Students warns others about D&D his is in response to the Jan. 28 article about playing Dungeons and Dragons. Kevin Williams commented, "It is an escape. College students work up a lot of stress." That is fine, but subjecting the mind to the amounts of violence involved isn't. D&D contains violence not even allowed on television. There is hack and slash murder, rape, thievery, pillaging, and terrorism. A character must murder and rob just to survive. Darren Molitor, a former D&D player accidently killed a girl while playing and now is carrying out a life sentence in prison. He says the effects are both mental and physical. It is very possessive, addictive, and evil. D&D is much like drugs.

Based on definitions in the American College Dictionary and in Webster's Dictionary, D&D can be defined as an occult. There is even a hardbound book entitled "Dietis and DemiGods" for the sole purpose of informing you of the "gods" that are involved in the game. It expects you as a player character to pick a god to worship, pray to, sacrifice to, and obey.
Travis, if the people you play with are true Christians, I pray
they might re-evaluate what they are doing. How can a Christian worship another God? The dangers of D&D are real, you can't expect the influences of D&D to be just stored away in the subconscious. We all can see just by watching the news it can become a reality very easily. I'm not condemning Travis Clark said most of the people using D&D, I just want to people he plays with are Chris- warn them and those who have tians. As a true believer in Jesus, I read articles like the one written resent my faith being used to 'OK' by Heide Brandes that play it off involvement in D&D.

Mayors hold meeting at UCO Nigh Institute By Tim Linville
Staff Writer
Mayors from around the state recently congregated at the University of Central Oklahoma for the 2nd Annual Oklahoma Conference of Mayors. The conference, held Jan. 27 at UCO's Nigh Institute, was a forum to discuss current issues
involving towns and cities in Oklahoma. The conference was sponsored by the Oklahoma Municipal League, a non-profit corporation that provides information and lobbying services for its member municipalities. "This meeting allowed the municipal league to talk about legislative issues that will come up in the next legislative
Issues discussed included: "How Can Business and Government Work Together To Get Better Tax Equity and Improve State and Local Revenues?," "Impact of the State Fiscal Condition on Cities and Towns" and "Specific Municipal Issues at the 44th Legislative Session."
he sees the funeral as a special day to pay hommage to a life that was lived. "The bereaved desire a ceremony to make the departed person special. Everybody wants acknowledgement. It's satisfying to hear kind words (for the dead). When my dad died, people said kind things about him and I felt better," said Manship. Tammy Bruce is also a senior at UCO working on her degree in funeral service. She currently works for Smith Funeral Home in Guthrie. As a child, Bruce liked to watch the show Quincy on television and wanted to be a doctor. She
later became a candystriper and at the age of 14 was allowed to watch autopsies being performed when the pathologist discovered her interest in medicine. By the time Bruce was 18 years old, she was assisting with the autopsies. Bruce later became interested in becoming a funeral director because she preferred the famiy contact of a funeral director. She found it rewarding to help people get through a time of grief. Bruce says that funerals are as much about life as they are about death. "Most funerals are a celebration of life. Most are like family reunions. At a funeral, people

Speakers included state Sen. Glen D. Johnson, speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, state Sen. Butch Hooper, chair of the senate tourism and recreation committee, and Gary Rader, mayor of Weatherford and president of the OMC. "These conferences fit well with the Nigh Institute's mission as a support service for the state of Oklahoma and our academic
mission. Many of our students are currently involved in municipal management," said Funston. The conference was attended by 88 people, about two-thirds of whom were mayors, said Funston. "We've doubled attendance over last year. This will be a meaningful relationship between the university and the OML," he said.

Manship worked for several years as a police officer in Texas before becoming a funeral service student. He sees the role of a funeral director as a way of serving people, much like his job as a police officer. "Being a cop prepared me to be in this business," said Manship. Manship sees the importance of the funeral as a way of letting the bereaved come to grips with the reality of their loved-one's death. As do most funeral directors,
importance of life. "You learn to value life more. When I talk to relatives, I always say 'I love you'," said Bruce. Funeral directors view their work as a service to, not only the dead, but also to the living and to the community. The funeral is necessary to the bereaved in order to truly cope with the fact that a loved one has died, said Curl, and most funeral directors agree. "Seeing is believeing," said
need to see the body and participate in the funeral ceremony in order to truly let go of the person who has died: Curl said that when someone is working through grief, the time to deal with death is when it is apart of your experience; the grieving process should not be delayed and the funeral helps to get the grieving process started. Most people try to deny death by ignoring it most of the time. The funeral director does not have that luxury and therefore has a unique understanding and expectation of life.

Operation Safewalk escorts boost Molly Drew Student Writer
A 1991 magazine article highlighting an Ohio University's campus escort service sparked the interest of the University of Central Oklahoma police department. "We felt it was a good public program," said Lt. Hayes E. Forbes, Jr. of the UCO police department. This lit the torch for Operation Safe Walk, a program which escorts students around campus at night and makes welfare checks (inspections of a parking lot or buildings to insure the student's safety) to all areas of the campus. Eight escorts work in the UCO Police Department for Operation Safe Walk's two shifts which run seven days a week from 7 p.m. to 11p.m. and five days a week from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. The escorts that assist students are actually students themselves. Forbes said they look for outgoing students with good communications skills and currently, there are both male and female student officers employed. Escorts do not carry weapons but rely on their field training,

Health Care Fair provides UCO students information By Joyce Kirtley
Student Writer
The 3rd Annual Oklahoma Health Care Career Fair, which was held Feb. 3, offered University of Central Oklahoma students information on health care professions from various educational and medical institutions. The event was sponsored by the UCO Pre-med/ Health Professions Club. "We do all of the organizing for it and contact the schools," said Ed Henslee, member of the Pre-med/Health Professions Club. Each booth had a sponsor from the institiution who talked with students and provided them with brochures of the field of medicine in which they were interested.
"We're here to provide information on optometry and recruitment to our school is also an aspect of it," said Mary Stratton, Northeastern State University's professor of optometry. Some universities and hospitals that participated in the career fair included Presbyterian Hospital; Baptist Hospital; University of Oklahoma's College of Dentistry; Oklahoma State University's College of Veterinary Medicine; Langston University's College of Physical Therapy; and Northeastern State University's College of Optometry. "I came here today to get information on OU," said C.W. Melton, a pre-med student at UCO. "I found something out about OU that I didn't know before."

The contest was conducted the last two weeks of January and the Alumni affairs office received five entries, Peters said. The theme will be the basis for all of this year's homecoming activities, said Peters. Other themes entered included: "UCO... Leaders of the 21st Century," and "These are the Days."

Funeral service answers questions By Jessica Danker Copy Editor Last week's episode of NBC's Dateline exposed corrupt funeral service schools and mortuaries from around the country and may have raised questions about the funeral service department at the University of Central Oklahoma. Dateline reported that some mortuaries were allegedly allowing funeral service schools to embalm bodies without the families' permissions. The funeral services, however, were allegedly still receiving the payment for the embalmings. "We get our bodies from the State Anatomical Board, which is a state agency," said Dr. Kenneth Curl, chairperson of the UCO funeral service department. The cadavers from the State Anatomical Board are people who donated their bodies to

Deja Vu... History repeats itself as Sooners win controversial one-point dual By Justin Harper
Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's women's basketball team upped their winning streak to six in a row and the men notched their 18th win of the season with a sweep of East Texas State's basketball squads Saturday in Commerce, Texas, Bobbi Hardy scored a career- high 24 points in leading the Lady Bronchos to a 95-91 Lone Star Conference victory. While Alex WriiIht tallied 29 points in the Bronchos 113-82 rout of the Lions. In the Lady Bronchos game UCO used very balanced scoring to overcome a three-point, 49-46, halftime deficit. The Lady Bronchos outscored ETSU l a count of 49-42 in the second halt behind Hardy's 24 points. Jana Flanatzan's 21, Too'Nea Williams 14 and Tammy Cumming's 13. For the Men Fred Tyler tossed-in 25 points to go along with Wright's 29 and the two combined for 21 rebounds to propel] the Bronchos to their sixth LSC win of the season. UCO had a 20 point lead at the half, 55-35, and never trailed in the second stanza. ETSU's Ricky Gomez scored 28 points to lead the Lions. The Lady Bronchos now 14-6 on the year and 6-2 in the LSC. While the Bronchos raised their record to 18-4 for the season and a conference leading 6-1. The teams played at Texas A&I on Monday and the Lady Bronchos will play at Texas Woman's on Thursday.
The definition of "Bedlam" is: Any place or condition of noise and confusion. And when the words "Bedlam Wrestling" are uttered in the state of Oklahoma the annual Oklahoma-Oklahoma State match is what immediately comes to mind. However, with the antics surrounding the OU-Central Oklahoma matches of recent years the definition of bedlam has escalated to new heights. For the second year in a row the Sooners defeated the NCAA II No. 1 ranked Bronchos by a single point, 20-19, in a hotly controversial filled match Saturday at Broncho Field House. Oklahoma overcame a 19-7 deficit in the final three matches with a major decision at 177, a fall at 190 and a decision at heavyweight to notch their 22nd straight win over UCO. The Bronchos lost last year's dual with OU 17-16 when the Sooners were granted a default in the heavyweight bout to tie the score, then given the match when UCO was deducted a point

"That's six," expounding on his number of victories over Zellner. Refferee David Kincaid incorrectly deducted a point from Jourdan sending the match into overtime. In the ensuing tiebreaker Zellner escaped from Jourdan after 13 seconds and consequently won the match.
Kincaid made an error in deducting a point from Jourdan. The rules state that in event of an unsportsmanlike penalty a team-point will be deducted, in which case Jourdan would have still won the match but only received two team-points. With Zellner's win and subsequent three team-points Kincaid's error turned into a five-point turnaround in favor of the Bronchos. OU coach Stan Abel failed to bring the mistake to the attention of the scorer's table until before the final match, when OU was trailing by two-points, but by then it was too late to make an adjustment. Abel made no bones about the way he felt about Kincaid. "Kincaid's a headhunter, he's hired to do the job he does," said Abel. "He was hired for this match here, to disrupt the match, to change the normal outcome of it." UCO coach David James retaliated by saying " Stan Abel will never, ever, dictate who the University of Central Oklahoma hires to call a match." The Bronchos are now 6-4 on the year after falling to Missouri, 21-12, in the second dual.

"Howard's End" a hit By Travis Clark Guest Writer What is needed to see the best movie of the year: a car; enough gas to get to Dallas and back; directions to the Inwood. Theatre in Dallas; and the ability to sit through a two-and-a-half hour masterpiece without having to use the restroom. The movie, Howard's End, which cannot be seen in Oklahoma, is a masterpiece in all forms of movie making. Starring Anthony (Silence of the Lambs) Hopkins, Emma (Dead Again) Thompson and Helena Bonham (Hamlet) Carter, End is not only a surefirewinner at the Acadamy Awards but has already racked up several Golden Globe awards. Thompson's shining performance takes the role of Meg Schlegal of E.M. Forster's novel and pushes it to the limit. Hopkins, as usual, gives a stunning performance and Carter is every bit as convincing as she was as Ophelia in Hamlet. Directed by Frank Ivory, Howard's End is flawless in every point imaginable. The directing, the acting, the plot, the dialogue; all of these are perfect.

THE VISTA
The problem with a movie such as this is that movie distributors fail to realize that people in states like Oklahoma would enjoy this movie. They consider it a "classic" and so above the heads of citizens of a state like this. Not only are they wrong, they are dead wrong. This movie would do as well as Steel Magnolias and Used
People.
REVIEW Howard's End is written and performed better than both of those. Movies such as Tous Les Matins du Monde, and Gas, Food and Lodging will probably never make it to Oklahoma either. And these are the movies that you will hear the critics choose as the best films of the year. Unfortunately, a reputation preceeds states like this and marketing experts suggest that these movies should not be sent to this state. If you're ever in Dallas, go by the Inwood. It's on 5458 W. Lovers Lane. It's got a bar and coffee shop for intermissions. While you're there, check out Howard's Ends, it's the movie that deserves Best Motion Picture of the Year.
Archives exhibit shows heart By Michele Soh Staff Writer "Love Handed Down" is a collection of antique valentines, sheet music and books on display at the University of Central Oklahoma Archives. The oldest valentine on display was received in 1905, by Alma King, a Central State graduate, said Marilyn Bachus, library technician at the Archives. On one valentine card, a verse titled "Constant Love" reads: Noon and twilight do but tell of the friend I love so well; Leisure, work or reverie, All are filled with thoughts of thee "She must have been pretty young when they received the card, said Marilyn Backus. The card has a lacy cut-out of cream flowers which stands away from a background of colorful tulips. The card looks handmade, said Backus. Some of the valentines on display were received by the sisters when they were teachers, said Backus. The King sisters, Lelia, Beatrice and Alma, graduated from what was then called the Central State Normal School in 1914,1915 and 1919 respectively.
UCO student Falesha Parker is rearranging the Valentine exhibit from the King-Howell collection on display at Evans Hall. Valentines dating back to 1905 are included in this collection. (Photo by Wes Hale)
Also on display, are sheet music from the 30s to the 50s, like "Star Dust" by Hoagy Carmichael, published in 1929. The exhibit can be seen through the month of February in Evans Hall, Rm. 103.
Backus said the items on display are but a small selection of what the Archives were given. The collection was donated by David L. William, grandson of Lelia King.
New business provides help for financial aid woes By Connie Price Student Writer To help with the rising costs of a college education, students at the University of Central Oklahoma now have another option for financial aid in the form of a scholarship-matching program. A new business in Edmond, Scholarship Locator Service, represents a computer service with access to a database containing information on more than 250,000 non-governmental scholarships, grants and loans.

According to a report from the National Committee on Student Financial Assistance, as much as $6 billion in student aid from corporations and organizations has gone unclaimed. Most people do not know the funding exists or how to apply, said Bobbi Deaton, local representative of Scholarship Locator Service. For an $89 fee, the service matches applicants with financial aid sources. To start the process, a student requests an informational packet which includes an application form. The completed application is returned to Scholarship Locator Service for forwarding to the computer service.

Regents plan 7 to 10 percent tuition hike
By Rebecka Slaughter
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Officials with Oklahoma's colleges are fearful that thousands of classes could be canceled and hundreds of professors could be laid off if cutbacks proposed by Gov. David Walters are enacted. The governor's proposal to cut state agency budgets by 9 percent would mean a funding cut of $51,3 million for higher education, which had sought a budget increase of $65.1 million Such a significant shift in revenues will "impact our ability to continue to deliver quality programs and services to an evergrowing student body," Chancellor Hans Brisch said Thursday. To deal with the budget cuts, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education unveiled a plan to raise tuition at the state's colleges and universities each year for the next seven years. The increases proposed for 1993-1994 range from 7 percent to 13 percent,

Judge orders Jesus off the wall GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A student's lawsuit has resulted in a judge's order to remove of a portrait of Jesus from a high school wall where it has hung for 30 years. The 2-foot-by-3-foot framed print of artist Warner Sailman's "Head of Christ" violates the First Amendment, which prohibits government from establishing a religion, a federal judge said Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Benjamin F. Gibson gave Bloomingdale High School administrators until March 1 to remove the picture, which is bolted to a wall outside the principal's office. Eric Pensinger, 17, a senior at the school in rural southwestern Michigan, contended in his lawsuit that the picture implied the school's endorsement of Christianity. School officials defended the picture as historically informative, just like a picture of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in a social studies classroom.
Lesbians run greater breast cancer risk NEW YORK (AP) — Lesbians run a two to three times higher risk of breast cancer than heterosexual women because they are usually childless, smoke and drink more and have poorer access to health care, a study concludes. All those factors are known to raise the risk of breast cancer, and they combine to give lesbians a 1-in-3 chance of the disease, said the study's author, Suzanne G. Haynes, an epidemiologist at the National Cancer Institute. Nothing is known about the actual incidence of breast cancer among lesbians, Haynes said. Rather, she computed the theoretical risk by examining all available studies of factors known to increase the chances of breast cancer. All the risk factors she looked at were more common in lesbians than in heterosexual women.
Couple jailed after trying pregnancy FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — The mother and stepfather of a 15-year-old girl are accused of trying to impregnate the teen-ager so that the couple could have a child without having to adopt. The girl agreed to have a baby in exchange for permission to marry her boyfriend and had sex at least twice with her stepfather while her mother watched, police said. But the girl apparently never got pregnant. Francisco Carrillo, 30, and Gail Quistain Carrillo, 42, were arrested Tuesday and charged with sexual battery. They were jailed on $80,000 bail each. Mrs. Carrillo had undergone sterilization but wanted a child.
UCO Political Science Professor Dr. John George
Dr. John H. George, professor of political science and sociology at the University of Central Oklahoma, recently released his newest book "Nazis, Communists, Klansmen, and Others on the Fringe: Political Extremism in America." In the book written with Laird Wilcox, who founded the Wilcox Collection of Contemporary Political Movements, George's selfproclaimed belief that everyone is entitled to free expression of their beliefs is evident. The book deals with groups such as the Black Panther Society, the Communist Party USA, and the Spartacist League, as well as the John Birch Society, the LaRouche Network, several different Neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan. George doesn't agree with violence and believes that the solution to obnoxious speech is more speech. "Most extremists are more a danger to themselves than to the rest of us," George said. The authors say their interest in political extremist movements began in the 1950s and 60s.
Aerobics workout to be held By Robin Scott
Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Association of Women Students will host "Dance for Heart" to raise money for the American Heart Association, during heart awareness month. The two-hour aerobics workout will be held from 7-9 p.m. Feb. 22 in Wantland Hall's Broncho Corral room. Last year, AWS raised nearly $2,500 in their "Queen of Hearts" campaign and, though there is no set goal for this year, they would like to surpass last year's contributions. "We'd just like to raise as much money as we can for the American Heart Association. It's such a worthwhile organization," said Robin Ropp, president of the AWS. Mary Anne Shrode, regional director of the Heart Association, will be there to accept donations. Anyone wishing to attend is welcome. The AWS meets at 4 p.m. every second and fourth Monday in the Administration Building, Room 226 and all female students are eligible for membership and urged to participate. The AWS schedules a different activity each month.

Child Study Center serves dual purpose By Shirley Taylor
Student Writer
The Child Study Center at the University of Central Oklahoma, part of the home economics department, serves a dual purpose by providing real-life experience for students and a half-day preschool program for full-time faculty, staff and students. Students enrolled in "Guidance of the Preschool Child" receive three credit hours for their successful academic performance and participation at the center. The course is a requirement for the Early Childhood Education, and Childhood Development degree programs, said Sue McCauley, director of the center. The primary philosophy of the center is that children learn through play. The children are given the option to experiment with their developing skills by playing with puzzles and blocks, painting, and even using a computer. "They really have a lot of opportunities to learn and it's not
forced on them. They learn a lot just being together," said McCauley. There's also a rack of clothes for both boys and girls to play dress-up. They can play the piano and with the macaroni and water tables. The children are especially fascinated with the rice table, McCauley said. The children get to play outdoors for 30 minutes during each of the morning and afternoon sessions. Parents provide nutritious snacks based on suggestions from the instructors. Children between the ages of three and four years old are enrolled in the morning session from 9 to 11:30 a.m., and those who are four and five years old are enrolled in the afternoon session from 1 to 3:30 p.m. There are 20 children in each Five-year-old Andrew Mock enjoys the recent of the University of Central Oklahoma's Child session which meets Monday sunny weather while playing in the playground Study Center.

Faculty art show opens this month
THE VISTA
Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma Museum of Art will hold the opening reception for its annual UCO Art Faculty Exhibit from 2 4 p.m Feb. 14 . "This is the one show where we have a prime time reception opening," said William Wallo, museum director. "We are expecting about 600 to 700 people." Included in this year's show are the newest additions to the art faculty Keith Bowden, computer graphics, Eagle Cameron, illustration, Debbie Langston, drawing, David Phelps, sculpture, Joan Phillips, art therapy and Gael Sloop, jewelry. "My work is figurative and usually large scale, " said David Phelps, new sculpture instructor. "I am going to have a few models of my work in the exhibit. I have one piece that is a foot sticking up out of the water." Gael Sloop, jewelry instructor, will present a sterling silver and 22-karat gold box necklace and a mokume (an old Japanese process of forging metals together) of a 16 layer copper, bronze and brass pendant with freshwater pearls, 22-karat gold and sterling silver all handmade with a spring loaded clasp. Also included in the exhibit are journalism faculty members Woody Gaddis, Terry Clark and Charles Simmons with photographic works.
By Teri Harzheim Two University of Central Oklahoma students, Irene Long and Suzanne Jones, were awarded the Liquitex Excellence in Art University Awards for 1993. The recommendation for the awards came from Bob Palmer, assistant professor of visual arts and design. "The award could have been given to any of my students in any of my clasess,"said Palmer, who teaches photography,
airbrush and serveral painting classes. "I had close to one hundred students. They had to meet all deadlines on time, turn in about eight to ten paintings and be involved in the oral critiques." Irene Long, 70-year-old undergraduate, won the award with only one semester in school. "I had no idea," said Long. " He called me one day and said he was going to enter me into this award." "It was like I don't believe this. I loved it," said Long. The Liquitex Awards offer
the students national recognition and only 100 awards are handed out nationwide once a year, said Palmer. "That fall they were my best students. To my knowledge they are the only ones that were awarded in Oklahoma this year, " Palmer said. Both students will receive a
Liquitex Excellence in Art award and a selection of Liquitex art materials. The Liquitex award, given out by Binney & Smith Inc., them makers of Liquitex art products, are awarded to about two students per state, totaling over . $75,000 in awards and materials to students.

Oklahoma native to speak for black heritage month By Paul Brown Student Writer
The Multicultural Student Services will continue its observance of Black History Month with a guest speaker at 3 p.m. Feb. 10 in the University of Central Oklahoma's University Center Dogwood Room. Donkor Khalid, equity coordinator of human relations at the Oklahoma State Department of Education, will be discussing "Multicultural Education and African Americans in Higher Education."
A native of Anadarko, Okla., Khalid attended Oklahoma State University and Langston University before receiving his bachelors. He went on to UCO to get his masters in counseling psychology. His first job was in Tulsa working as a boys' physical education teacher at Skelly Junior High School.
After a three-year stint, his family moved back to Oklahoma City and he began counseling with inmates in prison under the Counsel and Re-organization of Ex-Offenders (CREO). He later worked with young people in the OKC school system for eight years.
