Senate approves period of silence in public schools

Junior wins Miss Black UCO

By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer Carla Mayes, a junior accounting major, won the title of Miss Black University of

Central Oklahoma Sunday at Mitchell Hall.

The crown was passed down from Jeanette Smith.

The other contestants were Tausha Walker, Kyra McCoy and Kristi Talton.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Signaling a sentiment to bring some form of prayer back to public schools, the Senate Friday encouraged educators to allow students a brief period of silence each day for contemplation.

The 78-8 vote on a "sense of the Senate" resolution followed agreement Thursday to deny federal funds to state or local agencies that bar constitutionally protected prayer in public schools.

By approving the non-binding resolution, Sen. John Danforth, R-Mo., said the Senate merely would be making a statement "that it is a good thing to have a brief period of silence."

It would enable students to reflect on their religion, their values and "how they want to be good citizens of that school or what they want to accomplish during that day in school," he said Thursday.

Along with being crowned Queen, Mayes also won the People's Choice Award, Miss Congeniality and Most Talented.

This year a new award was given. Mayes became the first recipient of the Sonya Carter Award and received a quarter carat diamond tennis bracelet. The award is given to the winner of the pageant and will continue each pageant.

"The Sonya Carter Award is given to acknowledge her commitment to the pageant," said Barry Lofton, coordinator of Multicultural Student Services at UCO. Tausha Walker was third-runner up and Kyra McCoy second-runner up as well as Miss B usiness Woman of Tomorrow. Firstrunner up in the pageant was Kristi Talton.

The theme of the 10th annual Miss Black UCO was "Diamonds Are Forever," and former Miss Black UCO 1988 Sherrill Carrington was Mistress of Ceremonies.

Sen. David Boren supports tax relief for local farmers OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Farmers recovering from the floods of 1993 would get some tax relief under a bill supported

by Sen. David Boren, D-Okla.

Boren said many farmers entitled to disaster assistance in 1993 won't get those payments until this year He said in a news release from Washington that the farmers who would normally recognize income from 1993 diaster losses in that year will be forced to recognize substantially more income than normal on their 1994 forms. That could move them into a higher tax bracket.

Boren said the federal tax code doesn't address a situation where the payment is late and the taxpayer would prefer to take the payments as income in the year of the disaster.

A bill proposed by Boren and Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., would give the farmer added flexibility, allowing them to record the disaster payments in the tax returns for 1993 or for 1994.

The contestants were judged on talent, personal interview, swimsuit and evening gown competitions. Mayes performed a monologue entitled "Judgement Day" .

A technology education program has been approved and implemented this spring for the University of Central Oklahoma, in conjunction with Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) and Rose State College.

OCCC and Rose State provide the first two years of education, and then UCO provides the last two.

It's mandatory that all states provide technology education to their students, said Dr. Lou Ebrite, chairperson of occupational and technology education.

"The job market is great not only in Oklahoma, but Kansas and New Mexico is coming in and stealing our teachers," said Ebrite.

Dr. Duane Renfro, director of the program, implemented the program at Adams VSee PROGRAM, Page 3

Media's irresponsibility toward violence may be reason to shoot messenger

A

foreign exchange student knocks on a door to ask directions and is shot to death by the homeowner who claims he was afraid for his life.

In a seemingly unrelated incident, police surround.the Ellisworth Collings education building on the University of Oklahoma campus after reports that a man entered the building carrying a rifle. The man turned out to be an OU professor, Robert E. Shalhope, and the gun turned out to be a Civil War-era Springfield rifle used as a teaching tool.

"People are jumpy," Shallaope reportedly told The Daily Oklahoman, adding that, as a historian, he should have noted how the times have changed.

Times have changed. People are jumpy.

More than just jumpy, really. People are scared silly, and many gun owners more and more often are willing to shoot first and answer questions for the authorities later.

And who can blame them? Americans are besieged daily with TV, radio and newspaper reports of gang violence, drive-by shootings, forced entries at gunpoint, armed robberies and car jackings. People have reason to be jumpy, perhaps. The world has gone mad. It's total anarchy out there.

Or is it?

The news media — those whose job it is to keep the public informed — are always acutely aware of the ratings that keep them alive.

And violence and bloodshed make good ratings.

The majority of people go about their daily lives virtually untouched by drug wars, gun fights, or serious crime. They're not shot at, or robbed, or raped. Their cars aren't stolen out from under them.

B ut you'd never know that by the stories featured on network and local newscasts, which are often accompanied by alarmist graphics on the screen, usually in the form of a pistol aimed at the viewing audience.

No one is suggesting that the media not run stories of crime when it occurs. However, news program producers and newspaper publishers as responsible messengers, should make the effort to keep things in perspective, and inform their audiences that, while there may be reason to be aware, there is no reason to be alarmed.

Student suggests crackdown on guns hen I went to shop at Wal-Mart a few days ago, I remembered what happened a day before in Hugo, in front of the Wal-Mart store there. I felt insecure, helpless knowing that it could happen to me, and there is nothing that I can do to stop incidents like that. I am a man struggling to meet the basic needs of life, I don't have the knowledge nor the courage to speak in favor of a strict gun control law. But one thing that always comes to my mind, whenever I watch someone getting shot on TV, did our forefathers foresee these incidents when they talked

W

about the right to bear arms? A lot of things have changed in the last 200 years, shouldn't we at least review the laws to stay in touch with our time?

The right to bear arms is very important to many citizens, and we should respect their opinions.

However, being the free citizens of a free nation, we shouldn't be scared to shop at Wal-Mart, to ride a subway in New York or to go to the Edmond Post Office.

Freedom and fear do not go together. The same fire that is so important for our survival also causes houses to burn down. That doesn't mean we ought to do out

with fire, it just teaches us to be more careful. We have to be more careful about guns and gun owners. The last thing an employee at Chucky Cheese expects is getting shot by some fired co-worker. We have to protect the right to bear arms by protecting our right to live a fulfilled life. More police on the streets, more control on selling weapons, crackdown on illegal import and distribution of guns and on the criminals are essential. Above all, we need to build a national consensus on guns— that should be more far reaching than the Brady Law. -K. Parvez Murshed UCO Student

Columns about drugs disturb student

T

wice in as many weeks I have read articles in The Vista that disturb me.

That in of itself is good, it makes me think about what the authors said. However, I find it hard to comprehend that viewpoint expressed. The subject I am referring to is the editor's column and Terri's 2 Cents column on the legalization (rationalization) of drugs and why as a society we should allow this.

First,I would ask both of you to do more research before you print your articles. The UK did legalize heroin useage in the 1970s following the same logic both of you espoused—that useage would decline, that tax revenue would cover care of addicts, that others had no right to impose their will on others, etc.

Unfortunately, the reality of the UK's experience does not match the utopian solution you suggest.

Useage increased deaths, accidents and crime rose tremendously. At this point the UK reinstated the "old fashioned" laws on drug useage. Secondly, your utilitarian argument that an individual should be "free" to destroy their life is wrong in at least two ways (1) Mill made an exception in thathe said you could not do something that would deprive you of future choices—such as selling yourself into slavery (which in some ways is what drug addictions are). (2) Mill's maxims was "the greatest good to the greatest number." In other words what was "best" for the collective

group/society was the action that should be taken.

Both columns seem to assume that an individual's freedom to act as one pleases is paramount, and society has no place defining proper and improper behaviors if an individual wishes to remain part of the group.

Let me say one final thought. If you carry the premise of both columns far enough, you end up saying society has no right to condemn any action, by any person, for any reason, i.e. murder, rape, robbery, lying, etc. can't be punished because society, as a group, has no place in judging what choices "I" the individual does. Is this what we want? Please think about it.

UCO students to attend conference on women

By Michelle Peller Staff Writer

Three University of Central Oklahoma students have applied to participate in the "Women As Leaders" conference May 16-28 in Washington, D.C. Tawni Corwin, junior, president of President's Club; April Bergdall, sophomore, treasurer of Young Democrats and Lori Glass, senior, president of Toastmasters will have the opportunity of sharpening their leadership skills, examining their personal aspirations and exploring the impact of women's leadership on society.

Students will participate in a "Mentor for a Day" program which allows them to observe a profess sional woman throughout a typical business day, said Corwin.

A group of 200 will be selected. Each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico will be represented by three women. An additional 44 students will be chosen on a national at-large basis, said Corwin.

For two and a half hours each day, the students will have lectures, briefings and panel discussions given by The Washington Center faculty members.

Participants will attend workshops on career development, goal setting, leadership and conflict resolution.

Corwin said they will be as-

signed readings before the seminar and will have to write their experiences daily in a journal.

Tuition and lodging will be sponsored by Sears Merchandise Group. Students are responsible for travel and living expenses, Corwin said.

Along with the application, students need to have a signature of endorsement from their college or

must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

The nominees must have completed no less than one semester of their freshman year and must return to the campus for at least one semester after participating in the seminar.

Applicants must have demonstrated leadership qualities on their campuses and in their communi-

Students will be challenged to form opinions about complex issues, to articulate their views and make them heard.

-Tawni Corwin university president, three letters of recommendation and official transcripts from each institution of higher learning attended.

They also have to submit four essays on Women As Leaders de scribing themselves and their backgrounds.

The second essay should deal with important characteristics and qualities a woman needs to be an effective leader today.

Thirdly, they must identify the most influential woman in their lives and finally, what one will anticipate to be the most significant challenge they will face as a future leader.

In order to be qualified, students must be nominated by their college or university president and

ties.

Applicants who must be citizens of the United States, must confirm acceptance in writing if selected, on or before March 15, or their positions will be forfeited.

Participants to the conference are expected to discuss leadership with an organized group within four months of completing the seminar.

Applicants will be selected on the basis of proven leadership experience, recommendations, GPA, and the essay they submit.

Applicants will be chosen by a selection committee made up of educators, community and business leaders, former "Women as Leaders" participants, and staff members from The Washington

"They'll evaluate us on professional and academic performances," said Corwin.

"It seems like a real good opportunity," Corwin said. "It's too good to pass up."

"Students will be challenged to form opinions about complex issues, to articulate their views and make them heard," she said.

"It's going to be a real good experience...and give us insight on leadership," she said.

Bergdall said, "I've always been interested in the role women have in the future."

"I want to be a leader in my community...help women on women's issues [and their] roles in society," she said.

Glass said that it would help her in what she plans on doing in the future, which is teaching. She'd get to meet with people first hand and give whatever she learned back to her students.

"I thought it was going to be a wonderful opportunity," said Glass. "It's an opportunity of a lifetime."

When the college began to lean more towards the liberal arts, they cut back in other areas, including the technology education. Renfro has since come to UCO and said that he is excited to watch.

The program is a curriculum to introduce technological fields, such as robotics and computers, to j unior high students. It also teaches the four basics of technology, which are communication, construction, manufacturing and energy/power/ transportation.

BLACK HERITAGE KEYNOTE SPEAKER J.C. Watts J.C. Watts was elected to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission on November 6, 1990. His campaign and election hold great historic significance in Oklahoma.

He was the first African American nominee for statewide office for either major political party in Oklahoma history. His Black Heritage Keynote speech will definitely be motivational, inspirational and uplifting. His speeches build pride and confidence among his listeners. Prior to his entrance into elective office, Watts was best known as the U niversity of Oklahoma quarterback who led the Sooners to consecutive Big Eight Championships and Orange Bowl victories in 1980 and 1981.

CEO discusses health care in America

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer

Stanley F. Hupfeld, CEO of Baptist Medical Center and chairman of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce, spoke on changes in the health care system to members of the University of Central Oklahoma's Management Club at their first meeting of the semester Feb. 2.

Fifteen percent of the U.S . population has no medical insurance and no access to preventative medical care. They wait for problems to arise then come to emergency rooms for medical attention. If they could seek preventive care, costs would be less in the long run, said Hupfeld.

In the U.S., the health care system is "extremely wasteful." The "unique" system rewards specialist doctors who perform costly and often unnecessary procedures.

On the other hand, the family practitioner, the primary giver of preventive care, has been set aside as the "low man on the totem pole" in both economical and social structures, said Hupfeld.

"Hillary Clinton claims there are three villains causing our health care system to fail," said Hupfeld.

The first of the villains is "Fee for service medicine" which rewards the specialist for performing the costly procedures.

Clinton's health care proposals will result in a dramatic shift from specialization to general practice.

Under the plan, the family practitioner becomes a "gate keeper" who practices preventive procedures and refers the patient to a specialist when necessary, said Hupfeld.

Secondly, the insurance companies refuse to pay for mammograms or other preventive procedures. They wait for problems to arise then pay for high cost treatments after the fact, i.e. breast cancer surgeries and other

other countries," said Hupfeld.

"We often look at no- win situations and try to justify costly medical procedures. If my brother is brain dead, I can keep him on life support, and I will do so regardless of the cost. Of course, I am

ff People in the U.S. do not handle death in the same way as those in other countries. We often look at no-win situations and try to justify costly medical procedures. If My brother is brain dead, I can keep him on life support, and I will do so regardless of the cost.

- Stanley F. Hupfeld CEO of Baptist Medical Center medical treatments. Clin ton's plan seeks to remove the barriers to obtaining preventive care. People would be able to seek medical attention before the costly procedures become a necessity, said Hupfeld.

Finally, the tax system in the U.S. allows for the deduction of medical expenses. When a person is injured on the job, that person can abuse the system by accumulating costly bills and letting the insurance companies cover them.

Expenditures on meaningless procedures are the most costly part of health care in the U.S. Our society is obsessed with its own mortality and its love of technology. Three quarters of every dollar spent on health care is spent in the needless pursuit of "brain dead" life support, said Hupfeld.

"People in the U.S. do not handle death in the same way as those in

not responsible for payment of the cost, someone else is," said Hupfeld.

"What does society owe those without the means to search for a cure," said Hupfeld.

When a rich person finds out he has six months to live, he may go to the ends of the earth to find a cure. Where as, a Medicaid recipient given the same news has no recourse but to get his affairs into order, said Hupfeld. "We have never had an equal opportu-

nity health care system, and the politicians will never be able to provide us with one," said Hupfeld.

"It would be impossible for the government to provide every person with the means to search the world for a cure to a terminal disease, and inversely, it would be unreasonable not to allow those with the means to do so on their own accord, " said Hupfeld.

Administration is another costly function of the health care system in the U.S. Clinton's health care plan pushes for the consolidation of both billing for medical services. Consolidation of billing would remove much of the cost of administration.

"At Baptist, we have two floors of clerks who do nothing but collect bills," he said.

Other concerns deal with politically driven health expenditures.

The Veterans' Administration, military and Indian health services increase the overall cost of health care, said Hupfeld.

"If we did away with the politically driven health care services and moved those people covered by them into the civilian sector, costs would most certainly be reduced, and the same if not better quality of care could be provided," said Hupfeld.

One goal of Clinton's plan is to consolidate small businesses into

large health care purchasing groups. The goal is to remove the employer from the decision making process and allow the individual to decide on the plan that is right for him, said Hupfeld.

When large groups of employers merge into health care purchasers, the medical insurance companies will be forced to consolidate or drop out. The Etnas and Prudentials will survive, but the small firm broker will be forced out of the system, said Hupfeld.

Small hospitals will be forced to do the same, as the costs of overhead increase. Roughly half of what most doctors earn goes into overhead and malpractice insurance. The laws governing malpractice must change, said Hupfeld.

Following Hupfeld's presentation, Dr. Frank S. Wert, dean of the College of B usiness, presented Hupfeld with a token of appreciation and thanked him for his appearance.

Placement Services seeking applications for ambassadors Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer

Applications are being accepted by the Ambassador Program, which allows students to develop professional skills by representing UCO and interacting with future employers and other students.

The program is sponsored by the Career Development and Placement Services.

The professional skills that will be learned as a result of the program will come from the ambassador's duties. The ambassador will meet with employers

for information interviews held with a person in a certain field who can give insight on that particular career.

Stephanie Green, career counselor, said, through the process of interviewing, the ambassador is able to build contacts.

"Students can get valuable information and get employers prospective of the job search process," said Green.

The ambassador can attend jobsearch workshops, serve as a host, or operate a booth at career fairs to explain what the Placement Services have to offer.

Ambassadors can also conduct market surveys to see how the

students on campus feel about the Career Development and Placement Services, Green said.

"With this program students are able to get involved in companies coming on campus," and, "it looks good on resumes," Green said.

The application for the program must be filled out by a junior or senior, with one letter of recommendation from a professor or organization sponsor and attend an orientation session.

Applications can be picked up at the Career Development and Placement Office, 312 University Center. Deadline for applications is Feb. 14.

As a fraction of University of Central Oklahoma students

Column slid to class, many chose not to risk their well-being attempting to either drive or walk on the slippery stuff.

The robust few who piloted themselves and their vehicles successfully to campus lobbied their equally travel-weary professors for brownie points.

Surely it was worth something to show up they reasoned. And generally, they were correct.

Those that persevered shared their war stories. One related barely making it out the door before landing unceremoniously on his backside. Limping slightly, he figured he could nurse his bruises just as well at school and maybe double his aforesaid brownie points with his calamity.

After several female students volunteered to examine the injured part of his body, he looked for someone to kiss it and make it better. The ladies retreated sensing enough of a good joke.

Days later, the stay-at-home contingent returned to class swearing they spent the time catching up on reading assignments, and indignantly upbraiding their more hardy compatriots for showing them up and begging for copies of notes from classes that were actually held.

And the quest to curry brownie points continues.

Corporation Commissioner calls for modernized telephone service OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A member of the state Corporation Commission has called for minimum standards for telephone service in Oklahoma.

Commissioner Bob Anthony requested Thursday that an order for such requirements be prepared by Tuesday, at which time the commission is expected to sign the order.

The request by Anthony came at the conclusion of a threehour public hearing on the proposed standards.

The proposed minimum standards would require all telephone companies to modernize their telephone networks so that all Oklahoma customers have access to custom-calling features such as call waiting and call forwarding, emergency 911 service, single-party telephone service and the capability for high-speed data transmission.

Customers in 124 telephone exchanges in the state would benefit from the requirements, the Corporation Commission staff said.

"A few changes in the proposed rules need to be made to reflect some suggestions offered by the public during the hearing, but I think everyone is in general agreement that the proposed standards are realistic and will benefit the state in many ways," Commissioner Cody Graves said.

A spokesman for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. said Bell supports improvements but would oppose enforcement of the order as it pertains to Bell until several matters now on appeal to the state Supreme Court are resolved. The matters involve service upgrades.

New regulations to require alcohol tests for transportation workers WASHINGTON (AP) — New rules requiring alcohol tests for truck drivers, pilots, mechanics and other safety-sensitive transportation workers will provide strong incentives for employees to be sober and fit for duty, says Transportation Secretary Federico Pena.

But industry officials gave the rules mixed reviews, applauding their goal of increased safety but complainhng they will burden employers with the cost of testing.

Pena on Thursday outlined the new regulations instituting alcohol testing and expanding drug testing in the transportation industries.

"Taken together, this program of testing and deterrence will ensure steady progress toward an alcohol- and drug-free national transportation system," Pena said at a news conference.

The new rules will cover 7.4 million people — up from 3.6 million now subject to drug testing in the railroad, aviation, maritime, pipeline and interstate trucking industries.

"We are now extending these rules to cover mass transit employees and intrastate commercial driver's license holders, such as school bus drivers, who were previously exempt," Pena said.

Others covered by the new rules include air traffic controllers, flight attendants, train signal crews, mechanics and subway crews. But the bulk of employees affected — 6.6 million — are holders of commercial drivers' licenses.

University of Central Oklahoma Chemistry Club members had the opportunity to tour the serology and drug labs at the Oklahoma City Police Forensics Department Friday.

In the serology lab, students got to see the various tests they do on evidence, said Cindy Coleman, faculty advisor of the Chemistry Club.

"Evidence in the serology lab is going to be either blood or some other body fluid," she said.

Dr. Terry Smith, professor of chemistry who also went on the tour, said, they saw them use a comparison microscope. The microscope is a tool used to compare hairs and fibers from a known person with evidence taken from a crime scene.

Students also toured the drug lab which consists "primarily of using high tech or modern instrumentation to determine if a sample of a substance...is really an illicit

drug," said Smith.

UCO has the only forensics department in Oklahoma and the majority of people working at the Oklahoma City Police Forensics Department graduated from UCO, Coleman said.

"We have a unique program here," said Smith.

The Chemistry Club meets the first Friday of each month. The organization goes on field trips that are chemistry related, but it is mainly a social organization, Smith said.

By Appointment Only CHICAGO (AP) — Michael Jordan, saying he isn't worried about failure, agreed Monday to a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox and will go to spring training.

Jordan fielded questions after fielding pop-ups and grounders in front of about 200 reporters, photographers and camera operators at a gym near Comiskey Park in his first work out in front of media. He also entered the batting cage to hit some soft pitches from a White Sox scout and then some harder throws from a college player.

"I've never been afraid to fall," Jordan said. "That's something you have to deal with in reality. I think I'm strong enough as a person to accept failing. But I can't accept not trying."

Jordan agreed to a contract with the Nashville Sounds, the White Sox affiliate in the Class AAA American Association.

Jordan, who says he will try to make the major league club this spring, is willing to go to the minors if the club thinks he can make it to the majors.

"He'll have to earn it, nothing's going to be given to him," general manager Ron Schueler said. "We're going to go north with the best 25."

Benefit powwow full a

By Janet Runge Staff Writer ■•=1111.,

The Osage warrior stood proudly along the rim of the circle.

Dressed in ceremonial clothing, silver jewelry and a headdress made of deer hide and porcupine quills, he waited for the drums. He is known as B uffalo Chiefby some, Russ Tallchief by others.

From the center of the circle the drums began to pulse in ancient rhythms. The men playing the drums lifted their voices in vibrant song. It was time for the war dances to begin.

Russ Tallchief is a Broadcasting major at the University of Central Oklahoma. He is also a member of the Osage tribe.

Tallchief was the Head Man Dancer at the First American Student Association's Powwow held Feb. 5 at UCO's University Center.

"I've been coming to these all my life," he said. "All my family is here, and most of them dance also."

Tallchief said that it took about a year to complete his ceremonial costume and almost 30 minutes to put it on.

While parts of the costume are decorative, some of the accessories serve ceremonial functions.

His headdress of porcupine quills, called a roach, is topped with an eagle feather, he said.

"I was given the feather when I received my Indian name," he said.

"The feather is the symbol of a warrior,"he said.

When a person is around 12 they ask an elder to name them. It is an honor for both people, he said.

You have to ask permission to dance until you have your feather,

then you can dance anywhere you want to, said Tallchief.

"We do the gourd dance during the day, then at night we start the war dances," he said. "Usually they're over at 10, but if we're having a good time we might dance all night."

Mary Rogers a photojournalism major at UCO was elected Princess of FASA for the 93-94 year. She is a member of the Choctaw tribe, the American Indian War Dance Guild and secretary of FAS A. "I was raised mainly white, but I have gotten very involved with my Indian heritage in the past two years," she said.

"The purpose of the powwow is usually to celebrate something, but this one was a benefit to raise money for ourpowwow in April," she said.

"I like to be in the circle and be with my friends," she said.

"There are many traditions involved with powwows. We had four Giveaways, one for Russ Tallchief, Head Man Dancer, Jennifer Standing, Head Lady Dancer the Young Nations and myself," she said.

"A Giveaway is a marking of honor, a way of saying thank you for being here. We may give money or gifts," she said.

Some of the traditions are to always move clockwise within the circle, and women wear shawls as a form of respect, she said.

Rogers, who made her ceremonial costume herself said she was upholding a tradition of almost 200 years.

"I am a Choctaw woman. It makes me proud to put that dress on. I know who I am," she said.

Bronchos lose hook, line and sinker in overtime

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer The one that got away is always a popular story amongst fisherman, but the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team probably won't be doing any storytelling about the one that slipped through their grasp Saturday night at Hamilton Field house.

East Texas State managed to escape Edmond with a 120-116 overtime victory thanks largely to a furious comeback late in regulation.

UCO held a 10 point lead with 2:16 left in the game but Lion senior forward Jason Hall's steal with 1:29 left and subsequent slam dunk ignited a 12-3 run that

brought the Lions to within one at 104-103.

UCO senior forward Artie Taylor hit one of two free throws with :11.7 left to make the score 105103 but on the Lions next possession, Hall nailed a 10 foot baseline jumper with :1.1 left to tie the score at 105 and send the game into overtime.

ETSU took the lead for good in the extra period with Hall's short jumper with 2:43 left making the score 111-109. TheLions hit seven of eight free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

"There was no way they should have come back," said a dejected Junie Sanders. "Everything they did we worked on in practice. We just simply let them back into the game."

This weekend the Central Oklahoma wrestlers pushed their winning streak over Division II teams to 26 with a victory over No. - 13 ranked Southern Illinois Edwardsville Saturday at Hamilton Fieldhouse. Earlier in the week the Bronchos defeated Division I New Mexico 24-18 at N.M. The Bronchos got off to a quick start at New Mexico with falls from Randy Zellner, 118, Brian Melchiori, 126 and Ryan Martin at 134 building a big enough lead to win the dual with Keith Cunningham's 4-0 blanking of Axel Siverts at 167.

The No.1-ranked UCO racked up their fifth victory over ranked NCAA Division II squads Saturday in Edmond routing SIU-

Edwardsville 41-6.

Randy Zellner won his seventh straight at 118 pinning Anthony Bonati, 2:49. Zellner is ranked fourth in career wins at UCO. Keith Cunningham, UCO's alltime winningest wrestler, pushed his winning streak to 19 as UCO cruised through the middle weights.

Five falls were all the Bronchos needed to bury the No. 13-ranked cougars casket.

The last time UCO lost to a NCAA II team was Jan. 11, 1991.

The Bronchos were defeated 1912 by the University of NebraskaOmaha Mavericks.

UCO will end their dual season Friday night when the No. 8ranked Mavericks come to Hamilton Fieldhouse with hopes of repeating the 1991 results against the top-ranked Bronchos who are currently 11-2. Match time will be at 7:30 p.m.

Sanders, UCO's leading scorer with 21.8 points per game, scored 15 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Guards Andre Jackson and Zoderick Green chipped in with 22 and 17 points respectively.

But forUCO however, the night belonged to senior forward Darrell Gibson who led both teams with 13 rebounds and netted a career high 39 points. Gibson scored 26 of those points in the second half.

Gibson scored the first six points of the second half which sparked a 28-11 UCO run culminating in a 71-60 lead with 12:35 left.

ETSU(7-10, 3-4 in the conference) had five players in double figures and shot 50 percent for the game including a 12-14 (85 percent) effort at the free throw line in the second half.

TA&M Kingsville bows to Lady Bronchos

By Rachel Schnitzer Staff Writer

A late first-half rally propelled the Lady Bronchos past conference rival Texas A&M Kingsville.

The first half was a tough fight that saw 10 lead changes and two ties. The Lady Bronchos stayed close to -TAM'UK until the 10:06

mark when The University of Central Oklahoma went on a 14-2 tear. Tammy Cummings, the 5 foot 10 senior center, led the charge with five points and junior guard Kayla Bogges scored 4 during the run that made the score 3121.

The Lady Bronchos were perfect from three point land hitting 4-4 for the half and hit 46 percent from the field to give them a 39-30

half-time lead.

In the second the Lady Javelinas outscored UCO 48-47 but could not come from behind. The half was a close contest that was led by Cummings who had 19 points and five rebounds in the second to push her game totals to 28 points and nine boards.

In the upset victory by the Lady Bronchos they hit 47 percent from the field and 69 percent from the charity stripe.

Cafeteria employee steals hearts

By Dayna Poarch The University of Central Oklahoma Police logged the following incidents from Jan. 31 to Feb 6, 1994.

Staff Writer

Marsha is a name known by most of the University of Central Oklahoma students who eat in the Central Cafeteria.

"She's great."

"S he' s funny."

"She's nice."

These are only a few ways she is described by students, and Marsha Trompter, cafeteria employee, said she loves the students, too.

"The most important to me are my students," she said.

She asks the students if they want her to quit, and they say, "No way. We can't do without you.

We love you," she said.

Trompter, who lives in • Wellston, said she enjoys work- ing in the cafeteria where she cleans tables and picks up trays— and gives advice.

"Whenever you go out with a boy or girl...be careful because there are a lot of mean people. I don't want something to happen to you," Trompter said she tells students.

"Sometimes I tell them (students), 'Please don't do this. It's for your own good because I don't want you to get hurt,'" Trompter said.

Students are also familiar with Trompter's holiday outfits. She said she tells the students she wants to look nice for them.

"Every holiday they will count, I've got the clothes to wear," she said.

Students show how much they care for her by asking about her weekend, hugging her and giving her candy, which she shares with

UCO professor remembers life of adventure

By David Hanigar

Student Writer Many people dream of traveling to far away places, distant lands with contrasting cultures. Some drool at the thought of living in elegant cities with white beaches, mist-covered mountains, endless sights and fast-paced living. Others are drawn to excitement, searching for adventure and living with danger pressed against their plate-glass windows.

Dr. James Thomas Owens Jr. desires nothing of the sort. What others dream of, he remembers.

His youth is decorated in adventure. His past reveals a man living for himself, sure not of where he goes, but only that the wind has blown him there.

Now, a new challenge awaits him. Owens must accept his past as it was and concentrate on his future. He must now focus on being a husband, a father and teaching professional teacher education at the University of Central Oklahoma.

It is hard to imagine Owens blazing alongside a Florida beach straddling a Triumph motorcycle as he did in college. Owens is a full-figured man with medium brown hair of moderate thickness and length. A heavy but welltrimmed beard portrays possibly the only trace of an adventurous personality.

His image portrays a modest man. He doesn't wear expensive clothes, doesn't drive an expensive car and doesn' t regard money as the driving force of his life.

"You can spend your life trying to have more so you can be happy, or you can be happy with what you have," says Owens.

Owens' spare time finds him in a modest home on the outskirts of north Edmond. It finds him with his newborn daughter and wife from Puerto Rico, not just his family, but the reason he lives in Oklahoma.

"Why does someone move to Oklahoma? It is not because of

he talks of the beauty and the ancient cities and culture. He doesn't recommend it to many, but doesn't regret his time spent there.

An afternoon spent with Dr. Owens will be full of stories about boat lifts of Cuban refugees and a maximum security boy's prison.

It will offer a tour of a storage shed filled with antiques and Americana. But most of all, it will introduce a man who loves to teach, because he loves his family.

"That's the thing about teaching. It's predictable. It gives me time to spend with my family, and that's important to me," he says.

It could be called a rebel finding his cause, or a man escaping the chains of bachelorhood. To Dr. J. Thomas Owens Jr. however, it is simply the story of a modest man.

It is a story of a man who can be found huddled over a turkey-andrye wi th mu stard sandwich at lunch time. It is the story of an ordinary man doing his best to be happy... and although he says it may sound a little smug, he wouldn't change a thing if he had it to do over again.

"I didn't want a bachelor's...I didn't want anything. I did it for my grandmother. It was important to her," he says. His interest eventually bloomed however, and earned him a doctorate in Educa-
