Netherlands first to allow euthanasia for incurably ill THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Parliament voted Tuesday to permit mercy killing under strict guidelines, making this the first industrialized nation to officially sanction voluntary euthanasia for the incurably ill.
Euthanasia has long been tolerated in the Netherlands and laws against it have come to be seen as a restraint rather than a prohibition. The vote, after years of debate, gave the practice a degree of legal sanction. The measure does not formally legalize euthanasia, which is still officially punishable by up to 12 years in prison.
Serb rape victims killed by relatives WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of rapes has diminished in B osnia but more Muslim rape victims are now being killed by relatives who feel disgraced, an American relief official said Tuesday. "A sister who is raped brings shame to the family," said Karel Zelenka, in charge of the U.S. Catholic Relief Services office in Zagreb, Croatia. "Even brothers will kill a sister if she's been raped," he said. "And nobody really knows how to handle it because these women do not want to be contacted because of the shame." Zelenka said the number of rapes by Serbs has declined because of the world outcry but the killings of the raped women has increased as more pregnancies become evident. Ile provided no numbers on such deaths.
Radiation kills 3 BEIJING (AP) — Three people died and more than 90 became ill in Communist China's worst accident involving nuclear waste, an official report said Tuesday. The China Disaster Reduction News reported that cobalt 60 killed the three people late last year. Cobalt 60 is a radioactive isotope used in radiotherapy, metallurgy and materials testing. The report said more than 90 other people contracted radiation sickness.

Regents say tuition hikes may hit soon By Roy Howe Staff Writer With David Walters requesting a 9 percent cut in appropriations to public colleges and universities and state regents calling for tuition increases, figures indicate that University of Central Oklahoma students could pay more and receive less as early as this next fall semester. State regents' data shows that the student/taxpayer ratio in funding higher education in Oklahoma is less than peer institutions in other states. Students attending four-year universities in Oklahoma contribute an average of 27 percent towards education costs compared to 33 percent contributed by the students in other states. "Certainly higher education needs more money," said George Nigh, UCO president. "And certainly by comparing our state to other states the students do not pay proportionately as high a level," he said. Although Nigh said that he is supportive of the state regents in their attempts to fund higher education, he added "until the institutions know exactly how much they are getting from the legislature in May, it would be difficult to justify any amount of tuition change." Friday, the State Regents for Higher Education laid out a seven year tuition increase plan which would boost fouryear college's class costs by 10 percent the first two years. Beginning the fall semester of 1995, the increase in tuition for the four-year regional universities would average two percent per year for the next five years. If the proposed rate is OKed by the legislature, tuition next fall for UCO lower division classes would rise from $37.75 per credit-hour to $41.50. Upper division classes would see an increase from $38.50 to $42 per credit-hour and graduate level classes would rise $5, from $50.50 per credit-hour to $55.50. The proposed hikes will also bring the students' contribution to their education to approximately one-third of that v.40' 4.pr.

provided by the state. "State regents' long-range planning has always called for students to pay a fairer share of costs, with tuition increases targeted to enhance the quality of education students receive," said State Regents for Higher Education Chairman Donald B. Halverstadt. A Bill must be agreed upon by the House and Senate and signed by the Governor before the tuition ceiling can be raised. Along with the threat of a tuition hike, institutions of higher learning are also facing the possibility of receiving less money from the state than in the past. "In the past, tuition has been used to

ensure the quality of education the students receive," said Jeanie Edney, state regents' public relations director. "But this year we may have cuts in our state appropriations." "Then, tuition would be a very important source that could go toward meeting some of the critical needs that would go un-met because of the cut in state appropriations," she said. To prepare for the cut in state monies, public institutions are examining how a 10 percent reduction in state appropriations and no "one-time" monies from the state's "rainy day fund" would affect them.

Students should speak out about proposed tuition hikes Gov. David Walters has already requested a nine percent cut in public college's budget and now is requesting the state regents raise tuition. That means bad news for students, especially University of Central Oklahoma students. The projected annual two percent increase in tuition coupled with a parking fee and a library fee will be sending students scrambling for funds. One of the big factors in the tuition increase comes from the regents comparing Oklahoma's tuition cost to other peer states cost. Oklahoma students don't pay as much of their tuition as their peers do. The regents want students to bring their contribution to their education to approximately one-third of monies provided by the state.

How can Oklahoma's economy, students and higher education institutions be compared to another states? The regents shouldn't compare Oklahoma to other states. Comparing apples to oranges provides some very distinct differences with no connections. With higher tuition and more fees some UCO students won't be able to pay the bills. Enrollment could go down which could cause a potential UCO bond buyer to think twice. Money is tight everywhere including the state's budget. A cut here and a raise there is not always the solution to financial aches and pains. Tuition increases have come and gone. Most of which created little less than a ripple. There is some hope. Like Nigh said "A lot of things can happen between now and May," when the legislature votes on the matters. In the mean time, students should let their voices be heard. Students should inform their state representatives on how they feel. Also, a public hearing for state regents to receive input from students is March 24. Students, parents, and faculty should seriously consider attending this meeting to share their concerns.
CORRECTION In the Feb. 9 issue of The Vista the editorial incorrectly stated that Operation Safe Walk was not funded. The program is indeed funded.

D & D player claims the game is harmless, he's proof he claims It's just a game of fantasy and fun n response to your letter, Mr. Page, on myself and D&D. To quote your letter "It is very possessive, addictive and evil. D&D is much like drugs." I want to state something that the article didn't get to say. D&D is a game! That is all it is. It is an inanimate object, or a bunch of inanimate objects put together to make a game. There is no difference between D&D and a gun, a knife, or a baseball bat. What it depends upon is the person behind it. Calling an inanimate object "evil" is not only illogical, it is an act of incipience. It may be addictive, I'll concede that. But so is chocolate, Dr. Pepper and coffee. Yet not only I, but millions of people enjoy those. I defy you to call those evil. Yes, I know the facts behind all the "D&D crimes." The question is: was it the games that caused it? No. That's like saying "The devil made me do it." It has never held water and still does not. No one, no thing, can make you do anything you do not want to do. Things can be done to you with out your acquiescence, but you must make a conscious decision to do any-

thing. My friends who play role-playing games, the Christians, are
very set in their faith. They strongly believe in the Bible, God, and Christ. And yet they still play this so-called "demonic" game. Why? Because they know the difference between reality and fantasy. Because they know what is "true" and what is not. They have so firm a foundation in their religion, nothing will sway them. Then you ask me: "How can a Christian worship another god?" The word worship means, literally, "to bow down and kiss." To know the meaning of the word allows us to understand it better.

I have been in role-playing nine years. Adverse affects? Ask my friends. I may be a tad bit weird, but who isn't? But I am not deranged. This letter may seem to be an attack on you. But it isn't. You just speak of things you do not know. You call it "unbiblical." But so are video-games, action movies, and teenage ninja mutant

Financial Aid Awareness Week a success Director says participation up from last year By Connie Price
Student Writer Financial Aid Awareness Week came to a conclusion on Feb. 5 with an open house at the University of Central Oklahoma's Student Financial Aid Office. The open house was well attended and included visits from UCO President George Nigh and Michael Brown, a member of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. Gov. David Walters proclaimed Jan. 31 through Feb. 6 as Financial Aid Awareness Week for colleges and universities in Oklahoma. For UCO, it was an opportunity to emphasize the benefits and availability of student aid, according to Kenda Henthorn of

the UCO Office of Financial Aid. The week's activities began on Monday with a question and answer session conducted by the financial aid staff. Many students were not aware of the session due to a late mailing of invitations and attendance did not meet expectations. A session outlining changes in financial aid was held on Tuesday. These changes will be effective with the 1993 fall semester and will include such areas as independent/dependent status and the unsubsidized Stafford loan. This session will be offered again from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday in the Seminole Room, #402, of the University Center, said Alicia Smith of the Office of Financial Aid. A discussion of loans was

held on Wednesday by Doris Erhart from The Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program. She answered questions concerning who should get loans and the procedures involved. Also speaking was Misti White on UCO's policy for loans and Kelly Smith on the availability of Perkins loans. A budgeting seminar was offered on Thursday with a focus of how to use financial aid wisely. Offering advice were Dr. Candy Sebert from UCO's Home Economics Department, Drew Duke from UCO's Business Affairs Office, Alice Steger from CSC Collections, the Consumer Credit Agency, and Terry Williams from Stillwater National Bank. •••11/1/••
Sheila Fugett, president of the Oklahoma State Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, said, "We had more participation in Financial Aid Awareness Week than anything else this year. We are here to serve the students. We are even conducting an evaluation process of our service to give students the opportunity

to tell us how we rate." Fugett said that many of the activities held during Financial Aid Awareness Week will be offered again in April to give more students an opportunity to learn about financial aid.

Campus walkin maps available By Andrea Voss Student Writer
For those who don't get enough exercise walking to class, the Wellness Committee at the University of Central Oklahoma has maps available for anyone who wants to walk for fitness on campus. "There are four maps available and they range in length from one-half to two miles," said Nelda Taylor, who works in the reception area of the physical plant. "Each of the maps outlines a walking path around campus," she said. "The maps are new and so not many people are aware of them yet." Molly Drew, a UCO senior said, "I ran the one-mile path and I really enjoyed it. It's good exercise and I felt safe running on campus." Anyone interested in the maps can pick them up at the physical plant reception area which is located next to the drivers education range on Washington Street, or call Nelda Taylor or Don Powers at Ext. 2401.

Amnesty International shows concern By Andrea Voss Student Writer
While we in the United States take our First Amendment freedoms for granted, many people in other countries are being persecuted and imprisoned for their beliefs. These people are the concern of Amnesty International. According to its mandate, AI is an independant, impartial movement with more than halfa-million members worldwide. The group believes individuals must protect human rights when governments fail to do so. "Many people in other countries are being held without charge or trial because of their beliefs," said Julie Browning, co-president. Believing that public pressure can mean life and liberty for these victims of governmental repression, members of AI use publicity campaigns and letters to influence the release of prisioners. The newly formed University of Central Oklahoma chapter of AI met for the first time this

semester on Jan. 27, and members wrote letters to governments asking that certain prisoners be given their basic human rights such as proper medical care and the right to see a lawyer. "Our chapter is working on obtaining a national charter, but right now our goal is to create an awareness on campus and educate people about AI," said Dillon Hilbig, chapter secretary. The AI mandate defines its three objectives as: the release of all prisoners of conscience; those people detained for their beliefs, race, sex, language, religion, or ethnic origin; fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners; and an end to execution and torture in all cases. Amnesty sends out a magazine highlighting certain people being held in situations it considers urgent. One letter written by the members was on behalf of a student in China named Wang Dan. Dan was imprisoned for his non-violent participation in the Tiennamen Square uprising. He is being charged with counter-
revolutionary crimes. "One basis for the involvement of AI is that the prisoner never used nor condoned violence," said Deepa Narayanan, co-president. While Dan was a student in Beijing he arranged discussion groups on democracy for students. After Tiennamen Square, he was placed on the most wanted list and arrested. It is thought that he is being held in a prison in Beijing in solitary confinement, with both legs broken, blinded in one eye and not allowed to see his family. If found guilty, he could receive the death penalty. According to Julie Browning, AI claims a 66 percent success rate for releases. This is reason enough to get involved. By writing letters to the prison and government officials, it could put pressure on them to release him or at least let them know that the world is watching. Anyone interested in getting involved with AI can attend the next meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 8 at Garfield's in Quail Springs Mall or contact Julie Browning at 720-8973. ••••••••••••••••• • ••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Presents • • • • •

Gallery colored by practical joke MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The Manchester Academy of Fine Arts chose an abstract watercolor to hang in its annual show, unaware that it was painted by a 4-year-old. "Rhythm of the Trees," by Carly Johnson, was one of 150 paintings chosen from more than 1,000 works submitted for the six-week show at the City Art Gallery in Manchester. The academy's seven judges said the work displayed "a certain quality of color balance, composition and technical skill," The artist's mother, Helen, 28, said today that she submitted the picture as a joke. "It proves anybody can do modern art," Mrs, Johnson, a free-lance artist, told British Broadcasting Corp. radio. The academy president, Glenys Latham, defended the judges' decision, saying "often technical skill can get in the way of instinctive response."
Face-lift urged for unemployment WASHINGTON (AP) —President Clinton is proposing a face lift for the nation's unemployment insurance program that will line up retraining programs with jobless workers who most need them. The plan — an advance component of the economic program Clinton will unveil Feb. 17 —came as the administration backed away from one controversial option, a one-year freeze in Social Security benefits. "I think it's very unlikely it's something the president wants to do," White House spokesman George Stephanopoulos said Monday of the freeze in cost-of-living increases.
Auto insurance bill bumped OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A proposal to abolish the state's mandatory vehicle liability insurance has been defeated by the House Public Safety and Corrections Committee. The committee voted 9-6 on Monday against forwarding House Bill 1036 to the House. Rep. Gary Bastin, D-Del City, said he believes the compulsory liability requirement does little more than drive up the overall cost of insurance. He said some of his constituents cannot afford the coverage, which can be more than the value of the car. Proponents of liability insurance, including former Sen. James Howell of Midwest City, say those who have insurance would be penalized if the mandatory requirement is dropped. Bastin said he believes voters would approve halting the liability insurance requirement.

Foundation gives grants to disabled By Rebecka Slaughter Student Writer
The Donna Nigh Foundation, started in 1987, was moved here on campus in 1992. Named after Donna Nigh, the wife of University of Central Oklahoma's President George Nigh, the foundation was a gift for her birthday six years ago. The foundation's purpose is to serve the developmentally disabled (DD) people throughout the state of Oklahoma, said Lei Rumley, Nigh's administrative assistant. "We give grants to DD people. We have given equipment to the EARC and the Nova Center here in Edmond," said George Nigh , university president. "The foundation has helped with finances for lifts and other medical equipment in Enid, Duncan, Pauls Valley and Sand Springs," he added. As well as helping financially, the foundation also sponsors programs and
seminars for educators of DD. "We are trying to strengthen DD education programs here at UCO. It's a strong support for UCO," Nigh said. Currently, the foundation is
working on building a DD playground at an Oklahoma City school. The playground will have swings, teeter-totters, slides, and other toys that are all wheelchair accessible.

Jana Flanagan netted 13 points in the game to go along with reserve Kara Kessler's 13 points off the bench.

The Lady Bronchos also enjoyed their finest shooting night of the year connecting on 54 percent of their shots.

"X" team wins weekend battle of the brains By Michele Soh Staff Writer •
After 11 hours of competition, "Generation X" emerged winner of the University of Central Oklahoma 1993 College Bowl, and "Rude Awakening" came in second. The winning team goes on to the College Bowl Regional Championship Tournament, Feb. 26-28, at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. "It was a long and grueling exercise of the mind, said Jodi Waddle," organizer and participant of College Bowl. "Winning depends a lot on luck, on what sort of questions are asked," said Lane Whitesell, master of ceremony and previous winner of College Bowl. Questions asked during College Bowl ranged from Russian novelists and Native Americans to oysters and antibiotics. "We obtained packets of official questions from College Bowl Co.

"Last of the Mohicans" set to show on campus By Susan Wright Guest Writer
"Last of the Mohicans," a movie featuring the work of several University of Central Oklahoma students, will show on campus Feb. 16. The movie will play at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. in Ballroom C of the University Center. It is free to students and faculty with a campus ID, and their guests. Education senior John McIntosh, of Oklahoma City, acted a minor role in the movie as a Mohican Indian. The part of broadcasting senior Payton Dunham, however, was played behind the camera. Dunham, of Edmond, originally won a minor acting role, but was cast as production assistant after he arrived on the scene and crew members learned of his movie production experience. He was a production assistant for "Rainman," assistant publicist for "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" and worked in the art department for Brian Bosworth's movie "Stone Cold." He portrayed a store clerk in a television episode of "America's Most Wanted" and has acted in or helped produce several other productions. Filmed mostly near Asheville, North Carolina, "Last of the Mohicans" provided Dunham with insight into how big-budget, big-cast movies are made. He recalled one day when about 1,000 Indian extras decided they didn't want to work. "They all started rain dancing and chanting," he said. "It was so loud they had to stop shooting at the fort, about a mile away. It was really funny because it started sprinkling." The military fort built for the movie was the biggest set ever

built east of the Mississippi River, Dunham said. Construction workers built the fort in the exact way it was done in the 1700's. Trees were cut for logs and held together with a rustic form of cement. The entire film was made to look as authentic as possible, Dunham said, For combat scene, the actors were taught fighting techniques of that era, with actual powder guns firing. British and French military experts ensured that every detail of the soldiers' uniforms was authenticated. British buttons adorned British uniforms and French buttons adorned French uniforms. Indian experts determined how every last acting extra appeared, from dress to war paint to hair style. Dunham recalls the strange looks the crew received when first arriving in the small city of Asheville. "Word hadn't got around yet that a movie was filming there," he said. "With all the mohawks, the residents thought a gang had invaded Asheville."
Dunham said it didn't take long for the town folk to warm up to the crew and request autographs. He said he was surprised at the "down-to-earth" quality of lead actress Madeleine Stowe. She didn't like to be pampered or fussed over, Even when she wasn't in that day's scenes, she often would be on the set to watch Daniel (Day-Lewis)." Dunhan first spoke to academy winner Day-Lewis at a street intersection in Asheville. "There was a long-haired guy on a Harley Davidson stalled ahead of us at the street light," he said. "We honked and when he turned around, we saw who it was. So we helped him push his motorcycle out of the way and gave him a ride." Dunham said modestly that his star-mixing and production success hasn't gone to his head. Although he isn't taking classes at UCO this semester, he plans to return in the fall to complete his degree. He then hopes to attend film school at the University of California-Los Angeles and pursue a career in directing or producing. He admits, however, that the contacts he's made in the film industry thus far may be just the stepping stones he needs to a successful career.
