No high school, no driver's license OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A bill to require teen-agers to remain in school or lose their driver's licenses has cleared its first hurdle in the Oklahoma Legislature. The bill, which has been endorsed by Gov. David Walters, passed the Senate Education Committee on a 91 vote Monday and now goes to the full Senate for consideration. Sen. Keith Leftwich, D-Oklahoma City, said his proposal was an effort to combat the high school dropout problem. Leftwich said similar legislation has been enacted in 12 other states and has proven to be "a very valuable motivational tool to reach young people."
UCO senate rejects cCongr essmen new parking garage collegegcamo pus By Sam Powell Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma's Student Senate rejected a proposal calling for the construction of a multi-level parking garage on Monday. The proposal failed by a vote of 6-7. Speaker Carole Crawley cast the deciding vote. The bill was sent back to committee, Crawley said, to be rewritten and submitted to the senate again. She said the authors had included a parking permit price of $30 before they had researched the construction. "The price shouldn't be set by the stu-
dents, it should be done administratively," she said. One student senator said he objected to having to pay for any increase in parking fees. "Now we will have to pay for a license to hunt," he said. A proposal to make Martin Luther King Jr. Day a closed campus holiday, passed by a voice vote with only one objection. Senate President Peter Regan said he had talked to the regents and they will contact him soon concerning their position on the proposal. See Senate, page 4
Fowl filcher owns up after 15 years RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The city has received an anonymous letter and $80 to replace a pelican riding toy stolen from a playground 15 years ago. "I am striving to straighten up my life with God," the letter says. "At the time I took the toy, I did not think of it as stealing. B ut as years have passed, it has bothered me that I failed to get permission from whoever was in charge of the playground before I removed the toy. See World Wrap, back page
By Penny Owen Staff Writer Oklahoma's delegates addressed a myriad of issues including the 1992 presidential campaign, bickering among political parties, health care and education at the University of Central Oklahoma Friday, during the "Salute to Congress" banquet. Sponsored by the Nigh Institute of State Government, the evening offered a chance to rub shoulders with U.S. Sens. David Boren and Don Nickles, and U.S. Reps. Mike Synar, Dave McCurdy, Mickey Edwards and Glenn English. Also present were Gov. David Walters, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Carl Albert, UCO President Bill Lillard, Edmond Mayor Randel Shadid, Speaker of the House Glen Johnson, state Sens. Mark Snyder and Ben Brown and state Rep. Ray Vaughn. Hosting the event was former Gov. and current UCO presidential candidate George Nigh, who said the event, which served a sit-down dinner to 670 people at $25 per plate, was sold out by Jan. 10. After dinner, UCO students Sham Garbacz and Kim Hines performed the Invocation by singing and acting out the prayer "Our Father." First to speak was Edwards, who condemned the bickering among party members in Congress, citing it as the reason there is so much obstruction in getting things done. Edwards said that often the sole motivation for passing a bill in Congress is simply to hurt an opposing party member's reputation with their voters.

Students need help not rhetoric his year an intelligent Valentine's Day gift list for that significant other person might include cards, flowers, candy and condoms. After all, National Condom Week, an attempt to help promote the practice of safe sex, begins Feb. 14. This year it has special meaning because, according to Student Health Center Director Susan LaForge, reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases have reached an all-time high at the University of Central Oklahoma. But awareness among UCO administrators seems stuck in what some students have called an 1800s attitude. LaForge said the health center once distributed condoms on request, but that policy has been revoked. The practice was halted when President Lillard refused to sign a student senate proposal that would have allowed the health center to pass out condoms as a matter of university policy. If UCO administrators really care about the students, they should realize that a policy of "just say no" does not work. Students are going to be sexually active and deserve to have protection. The solution to a growing problem with sexually transmitted diseases is prevention, not moralistic rhetoric.
Who else made the final cut of 11
W
hy has the selection process of the new university president been shrouded in such secrecy? Information concerning the candidates from UCO has been spoon-fed to the press, but what about the other nine potential presidents? Should this not be classified as a matter of public record? It is doubtful that their lives would be put in jeopardy if their names were released to the public. Moreover, this would allow the people to research the background of the prospects and support a person they feel is best qualified. It is time the regents remember they are accountable to the people and release nine other names and allow the people to make an informed choice of the next UCO president.

Student says King not worthy r. King does not deserve a special holiday in his honor. According to Ralph Abernathy, one of Mr. King's closest advisors and friend, Mr. King was not a saint, he was just a man. Read his book. If you want a holiday to honor the ideal that Mr. King espoused, namely "equal" civil rights for everyone no matter what their race, fine. Lets have Civil Rights Day, and commemorate the day the 1964 civil rights bill was signed.
The second point I wish to make is that Martin Luther King was not a "great" leader. F.D. Roosevelt was a great leader, although I disagree with many of his policies. Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-Tung were great leaders even though they were evil incarnate. Some great moral leaders were Jesus of Nazareth, Gautama Buddha, Mahatma Ghandi and possibly Lao-Tsu. Some of the world's great military leaders were Alexander the Great, Geng-
his Khan, Hannibal of Carthage and Norman Schwarzkopf. Martin Luther King does not in any way measure up to any of these people. The final point I wish to make is this! Martin Luther King was not a martyr for his cause. He was murdered not because of what he believed, but because James Earl Ray was a red-neck jerk with a rifle and an attitude. —Michael Ball

Nigh brings politics to UCO by does George Nigh want to be Dr. Lillard's replacement---the real reason? And, he is being considered. Does having been governor qualify a person for this responsible position? What background in higher education does Mr. Nigh have that qualifies him for the position he seeks? Does he have his doctorate? Perhaps the student government would like to be more enlightened, with the circumstances surround-
W
ing this issue. Students are the schools; without students there would be no schools. Why are political interests being brought into your school? Schools are not corporations, and why are schools being politicized? What is behind these kinds of moves? This is sad and shameful and I'm embarassed. Were other more qualified individuals, in need of a job, interviewed for this position? Was there a search committee?
University of Central Oklahoma needs a person who is familiar with higher education and is aware of the needs of the student, someone who has raised student test scores. C. J. Wahf —
Editors Note A search committee was formed to evaluate dozens of applicants from across the nation. After narrowing the list to 11, the decision is now up to the The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges.

Our lives and times at UCO Student life at the University of Central Oklahoma takes on many faces. Whether relaxing in Centennial Square under the guise of studying, or taking part in such activities as sports or talent shows, students express their individuality in varied ways. What follows are scenes from a day in the life of a student at UCO.

Page 4 Continued from Senate, page 1 A resolution calling for the lobby areas in residence halls to be open 24 hours a day passed by consent at the meeting, as did a resolution calling for the establishment of new senate budget reporting procedures. The resolution also passed by consent, and officially defines what constitutes a quorum for the student senate. Neither the constitution nor the student senate bylaws set a number for a quorum. According to the resolution, a quorum is now set at 50 percent plus one of all active senators currently on the role. Before the weekly session began, Student Health Center Director Susan LaForge gave a presentation concerning the Health Center's mission and role. The senate voted to skip the
usual committee reports and not go into legislation until after LaForge's presentation. LaForge said she wanted the students to understand what the Health Center is, and what it isn't. "Don't get the idea we are over there curing cancer," she said. The Health Center used to be open 24 hours a day, but LaForge said the hours were cut because almost no one took advantage of it. "There weren't enough people using the facility to warrant having a nurse there baby-sitting the building," she said. "If a student is sick enough to need to stay in the Health Center overnight they should be in the hospital." She said the Health Center is designed to handle minor illnesses, and the doctors, who are available between noon and 12:30 p.m.
The reason there are more cases of sexually transmitted deseases reported now is because students are aware they can be tested at the center and treatment is inexpensive, LaForge said. V
recipients. Oklahoma's educational re form bill 1017 was complemented by Nickles as a move to free schools of drugs and violence and improve learning skills. Boren met with several rounds of applause as he cried out for tax credits for student loans, more American industry and students abroad and the need to make welfare recipients more productive. "We are not doing anyone a favor by mailing out $210 billion a year to people who do nothing. We need to stop it," Boren said. "We need to give everyone a rea-
son to get up in the morning and feel like a productive part of society." Walters took the podium to a standing ovation. He then remarked: "I notice how whenever I approach the microphone, people get a little tense. Relax, I'm in a good mood." Concluding the evening was Lillard, who pointed out that the Oklahoma delegation one of the most educated in Congress. After thanking the Nigh Institute and the delegates, he added: "This is truly the highlight of the academic year at UCO." V
daily, are there to give quick diagnoses only. "We can take care of your flu and minor lacerations," she said. "We have a pharmacy, but we don't have any big expensive medications." Although LaForge said she has seen an increase in reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases at UCO, the Health Center can no longer make condoms available to students.
Continued from Congressmen, page 1 As for Oklahoma, Edwards said there is a dire need to diversify the economy if it is to survive the recession and future defense cutbacks. English said America's health care increased 11 percent last year, costing $817 billion, and added that three out of four of those surveyed in his district said they were dissatisfied with their present health care. English said President Bush's health care plan doesn't go far enough in solving the problem. "It doesn't do much about malpractice, and it does little to cap the escalating costs," said English. Synar was 28 when he was elected to Congress, and now works with Boren on the "Campaign Finance Reform" program, which he said will try to subdue the skyrocketing costs of supporting a congressional seat. McCurdy, who openly supported Bill Clinton's presidential candidacy, spoke of using caution in making defense cuts, fighting crime in schools and repairing America's roads and bridges. In response to the Gennifer Flowers scandal, McCurdy scoffed: "I don't believe the people of New Hampshire care what the supermarket tabloids say. Heaven forbid if you're ever the frontrunner." Nickles, who at age 31 was the youngest Republican elected to the U.S. Senate, first applauded Edward's message of bi-partisan cooperation. He then attacked welfare dependency, calling for conditions to be set for welfare

Need for parking garage addressed By Sam Powell Staff Writer Many students at the University of Central Oklahoma say the current parking situation is a nightmare they cannot seem to wake up from. But., Auxiliary Services Director A.K. Rahman and members of the student senate are trying to change that. Student senators Todd Dealy and Carole Crawley said there has been a move afoot to build a multilevel parking garage. "We have been meeting for some time concerning parking on campus," Dealy said. A committee was formed about two months ago consisting of student leaders Peter Regan, Joacquin Stevens, Dealy and Crawley along with administration officials Joyce Mounce and Rahman, he said. If and when a new parking facility is built, it will be up to auxiliary services to raise the funds, Rahman said. Dealy said they had discussed several funding alternatives including a flat fee, or an increase in the per credit tuition rate. But increasing tuition or fees on a per credit basis might cause an unfair burden on some students, he said. A student taking sixteen hours would be forced to pay a
much higher fee than someon, taking only five hours. "Most people we have talked to have said they would support a fee of some sort," Dealy said. "I think they would be more in support of a flat fee." Dealy said he is optimistic although there is a big difference between talking about something and acting on it. "Adminstration very much wants to do something, but it's not something they can do over night," he said. Concerning size he said that because the university's land is limited it is better to build up than out, and the larger the better. A three story garage could hold approximately 1000 cars and a 4 story could hold about 1500. UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts said there are approximately 4900 parking spaces currently available on campus counting faculty, staff, resident and commuter areas together. Rahman said they are considering two locations, one east of University Center and another at the corner of Ayers and Bauman, but access will be a major factor in site selection. "What's the use in building a parking garage if it takes 20 to 30 minutes to get out of it," he said. V

New condom kits come personalized By Traci McKnight
Student Writer The Dimension Corporation, of Arlington, Va., is offering a new safe sex kit with a twist. Pro-Safe is a new condom carrying case that can be custom printed with a logo or message, and is small enough to fit into a purse or a toilet kit. The safe sex package contains three condoms, two packets of lubricant and complete instructions on proper use. The package is limited in distribution to the promotional and mail-order markets. The kit is shipped in neutral packaging to provide the customer with discretion and a convenient way to avoid the embarassment of purchasing condoms at a retail outlet. "Pro-Safe was designed to be unisex, and appeal to heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual individuals. The kit provides a convenient way for those who are sexually active to protect them-
selves against sexually transmitted diseases, as well as undesired pregnancies," said Sylvie P. Platre, president of the Dimension Corp. Dimension Corp. will donate a portion of their proceeds from the sale of Pro-Safe to organizations involved in AIDS research. V
Washington, D.C., is a private, non-profit agency that accredits teacher colleges across the nation. King said OSU seeks the accreditation voluntarily for the outside evaluation it provides. Among other things, Oklahoma State was cited for having professors who teach too many credit hours, and for failing to recruit enough minority faculty members and students. V

After hours of planning and months of waiting, the University of Central Oklahoma Public Relations Club has finally been named a national chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). Dennie Hall, Public Relations Club advisor, said the club had to be approved by the Oklahoma City Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America and had to submit bylaws along with descriptions of public relations courses offered at the university, biographies of faculty members in the public relations department and profiles of student enrollment. After meeting these requirements last fall, the club submitted their application to the PRSSA headquarters in New York, where it had to be approved by each PRSSA board member. The word of approval finally came at the beginning of the spring semester. Club members have opportunities to meet public relations practitioners in the Oklahoma City area by attending monthly meetings with the Oklahoma City Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. "By attending the monthly meetings, students will have the opportunity to meet public relations practitioners and start networking. This will give students an opportunity to get internships and get to know professionals who are already established in the public relations field," said Chad Richison, club president. Members will also be eligible to attend national meetings, compete in national competitions and apply for various scholarships and awards. The UCO chapter meetings are held every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., room 215 of the Communications Building. V

Persons infected with AIDS and the people who are intimately involved with them will make up a panel of guest speakers at the Gay Lesbian Alliance for Student Support meeting at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 13, in the Liberal Arts Building, said Dr. Lewis Irving, a University of Central Oklahoma sociology professor. "In the meeting, we'll have a panel of persons with AIDS and significant others, ones that are in love with each other and ones that live with them that are not infected but still are intimately involved." Doug Longino, a UCO human development major, has AIDS but his wife Robin does not. Both will be guests on the panel. The GLASS organization was organized in the fall of 1990 to examine sexual issues concerning not only gays and lesbians, but sexual issues that relate to others, he said. GLASS is currently trying to educate the community about sexually transmitted diseases. "Some of my human sexuality students who come to the GLASS meetings are going to heterosexual bars distributing safer sex information and condom packs," Irving said. "What we are doing is not only educating ourselves but attempting to educate the community through programs that we're developing," he said. Irving said GLASS meetings are open, and anyone interested in sexuality is invited to attend. "A person's sexual orientation generally is just like everyone else's once you understand the issues at hand," he said. V

Fast food: What are Americans really eating? By Penny Owen
14 grams for women daily.
Staff Writer
• Cholesterol should not exceed 250 milligrams daily.
This story is the first of a fourpart weekly series concerning new American eating trends. Eating healthy is one trend gaining ground in society today. Every week, more information is dished out attacking the evils of a fatty diet and pleading with Americans to eat their fruits and veggies. But another trend is eating on the run. Americans — especially hurried students — simply don't have the time to plan a wellbalanced meal. They must leave the cooking to someone else. In fact, 50 million Americans a day leave the cooking to fast food joints run by the Colonel, Ronald McDonald or some greasyaproned character around the corner. Just what is it Americans are eating? First, here are some basic facts about eating out as given by Dr. Michael F. Jacobson and Sarah Fritschner, authors of "The FastFood Guide": • Calories recommended for men age 19 to 50 are 2,900 per day; for women age 11 to 50, 2,200 per day. • No more than 25 percent of a diet should be fat. This means no more than 16 grams for men and
• Most fast foods contain 40 to 50 percent fat. • Mayonnaise is the fattest topping offered for a sandwich. Tartar sauce is second, and both ketchup and cocktail rate lower in fat and calories. • Salad dressings generally add 300 calories to a salad. • Cheese on a burger adds about 100 extra calories. Fast food restaurants have responded to the health trend, however. For example, most places have replaced their lard-heavy frying oil with a lighter, no cholesterol vegetable oil. So although french fries still have about 300 calories per regular order, they have little or no cholesterol. McDonald's now has milk shakes with 80 percent less fat, and has stopped adding chicken skin to the nuggets, reducing the calorie content by 20 percent.

Dairy Queen came out with a line of non-fat frozen yogurt products in 1990 — a regular size claims only 170 calories. DQ also has a low-cal BBQ sandwich and chicken fillet, both under 300 calories and 25 percent fat. But consumers should beware of the 590 calorie Quarter Pound Super Dog and the 610 calorie vanilla malt. Arby's boasts of three sandwiches under 300 calories and 30 percent fat. Potato cakes are also generally lower in calories than french fries. But the Roast Chicken Club has a deceptive 513 calories — about the same as a Big Mac.

Just passin' through Cage teams intent on riding Greyhounds to LSC title By Bill Kramer Staff Writer Lady Bronchos on top Sporting a 13-7 record, Central Oklahoma's women's basketball team has emerged as a surprise national contender. The Lady Bronchos, picked seventh in the pre-season Lone Star conference poll, took sole possession of first place in the league Monday, after an 83-75 win over Texas A&I, combined with Abilene Christian's loss at Fastern New Mexico. But UCO travels to Portales, N.M., Saturday to defend its league-best 8-1 LSC record against the third-place Greyhounds of ENMU (13-7 and 5-3). Then, on Monday, UCO treks to Denton, Texas, to play Texas Woman's (6-11, 4-4), winners of two straight. The Lady Bronchos defeated both teams at home, knocking off ENMU 82-71 and TWU 71-70.

. Grungemeisters wake up pop listeners By Kathy Karr Managing Editor Whatever it is, it sure as hell doesn't smell like Teen Spirit. Seattle-based grunge rock masters Nirvana have hit it big with their recent release "Nevermind." It seems the lackadaisical, spoonfed pop audience is finally waking up to the glories of guitar and rageridden rock-n-roll. Nirvana's blast onto the Top 40 charts with a clearly alternative collection of rockers and spooky ballads bodes well for the future of the Sesame Street generation. The phenomenal success of the band's first single "Smells Like Teen Spirit," is a wonderfully dysfunctional foray into the apathetic attitudes of the under-30 generation. Ah, to be able to hum along with the socialization problems of an average college-going Joe. Of course, contributing to the single's success is the video mixmonster, MTV, the channel usually repsonsible for the success of such frightening monsters as Paula Abdul and New Kids On The Block. But, in this instance, the lords of the video playlist have chosen correctly. The dark video, appearing as if it were shot in CBGB's in hell, fits the song perfectly, with psychotic cheerleaders and moshing fans. But Nirvana isn't a band relying on it's video power. The band, a rare power trio set-up with guitar, bass and drums conjures up the intense wall of sound so suited to rock radio. The album is consis-
tent, with the anger and weirdness evident lyrically from the hardest rockers, like "In Bloom," to the soft maniacal ballads, like "Polly." Other highligts include such neat-o compositions as "Come As You Are," "Lithium," "Lounge Act" and "Drain You." Nirvana is a band with a sharp instinct for spiffy song titles. Cool, cool, cool. A group of guys with a troubled view-point, Nirvana is breathing new and odd life for the strange, strange world of rock-n-roll. Taking into consideration the recent revival of cheeseball guitar rock (sorry, you Van Halen and Poisonheads), Nirvana's weirdo attitude and lack of balance sure do make a lot o' sense. Put the platter in the player and annoy the neighbors. That's what this music was meant to do. V

Smart drugs promise to enhance American minds o By Roger Groce
Staff Writer Like a familiar refrain from the '60s, promises to expand the mind are beginning once again to entice mainstream America through socalled "smart drugs." If a combination of nutrients, amino acids and semi-legal prescription drugs promised to make you smarter, would you take it? Considering the growing popularity of smart drugs, the more appropriate question might be, "Who wouldn't?" According to the Jan. 17 episode of "Nightline," estimated smart drug users in the United States numbered zero in 1980, 40,000 in 1985 and may climb to 100,000 by 1992. John Morgenthaler, author of the book "Smart Drugs and Nutrients," appeared as a guest on the "Nightline" episode and classified smart drugs into three catagories. The first, smart nutrients, are simple powdered drinks sold in health food stores, and are said to improve brain functioning. Smart drugs are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for distribution in the United States, but can be legally imported in limited quantities. Prescription drugs are the third category of smart drugs. These are legal in the United States, but not for enhancing the mind. "The idea that you are born with a given level of intelligence and you are stuck with that for life is obsolete," Morgenthaler said. Ingredients in popular smart nutrient drink mixes include choline, methionine, folic acid, vitamin B-6, L-Glutamine, LTyrosine and phenalinine. Kevin Buggy, nutritionist and plant manager for Natures Plus, a national vitamin and health food manufacturer in Longbeach, Calif., strongly dissociated his company from any of the smart drug companies springing up around the country. Many of these companies are under investigation by the FDA because of their claims, Buggy said. "One cannot make a claim 'Fuel for Thought' increases your memory. By making those claims, in the FDA's eyes those products are drugs, Buggy said. One ingredient in Natures Plus'
"Fuel for Thought," is raw pituitary concentrate, Buggy said. The pituitary gland is taken from a cow's brain, defatted and made into a powder. Public health may not be the only concern of smart drug researchers. Forbes magazine said the first company to get FDA approval for smart drugs will earn $1 billion in its first year alone.
"It's going to backfire," said Dr. Roger Brumback, professor of pathology and neurology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. "It's the same thing that Timothy Leary said, that you can expand your mind by taking LSD,"
Brumback said. Brumback explained that nerve impulses are coded messages which are translated by the brain. When someone takes a product that increases the quantity of a neurotransmitter such as acetylcholine, the coded message is altered and misread by the brain.
The brain, to restore its chemistry, will consequently shut down, the opposite of what the user is trying to accomplish. Smart drugs interact with the brain's signaling capacity and throw off normal functioning, Brumback said. "I think smart people would stay away from them, actually," Brumback said. V

Gene found to idle AIDS virus OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Culture tests at an Oklahoma City research foundation have pinpointed a gene that idles the AIDS virus, foundation officials say. "In cell culture, the gene works. It stops the growth of the virus," said Shari Hawkins, spokeswoman for the private, non-profit Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. Foundation researchers presented their findings recently in San Diego at the Frontiers of HIV Therapies Conference, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. The gene appears to thwart the human immunodeficiency virus by rerouting a protein usually present on the HIV cell's surface to the cell's lysosome, where viral material is destroyed, said Dr. Jordan Tang, head of the foundation' s protein studies.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey's runny egg ban, ridiculed by everyone from the governor to Johnny Carson, is headed for the compost pile of state culinary history. The state Public Health Council voted Monday to relax the infamous ban on undercooked eggs in restaurants that the state imposed Jan. 1 because of concerns about salmonella poisoning . Louise Chut, the council's chairwoman, voted for the change after lambasting politicians and the media for making light of those concerns.

Check -out scanners amaze Bush WASHINGTON (AP) - It made headlines: President Bush visited a grocers' convention and seemed amazed at the hightech supermarket checkout equipment. Pundits and cartoonists seized upon the incident as evidence that Bush was out of touch with everyday life after 11 years in government mansions. But the White House and the systems engineer who showed Bush a checkout stand scanner cried foul Monday. "He's seen those (scanners) many times. This is a story that is totally media-manufactured and maintained," said White House Press Secretary Marlin Fitzwater. The scanner Bush viewed at the National Grocers Association convention in Orlando last Tuesday had special capabilities that set it apart from ordinary checkout machines, Fitzwater said.
