Center's goal: expanding condom use Blaze sweeps store; 79 dead, 53 injured BEIJING (AP) — Police believe welders ignoring safety regulations touched off a huge blaze in a department store that left 79 dead, and they have detained five people, an official report said today.

The fire Sunday afternoon gutted the three-story Linxi Department Store in Tangshan, a city in northern China's Hebei province, the China Youth Daily reported.

The reports said 53 people suffered burns, including six who still were in danger of losing their lives. The dead ranged in age from 3 to 45 years and most were women,

Child dies after party becomes beer bash ST. PAUL (AP) — A 16-monthold boy who was sleeping in a chair after a birthday party apparently suffocated when a drunk cousin passed out on top of him, police said.

Tino Zimmerman was found by his 7-year-old sister Saturday morning, the unidentified woman still on top of him, Sgt. Keith Mortenson said Monday. Family members said the cousin is about 5-foot-4 and weighs as much as 200 pounds.

No immediate arrests were made.

Family members had gathered Friday for a party for a 6-year-old girl, and it turned into a beer bash, police said.

Bush takes cruise SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — To the folks aboard the Regal Princess, he's the guy out jogging on the deck at 7 a.m., the fellow in the bar before dinner, the man who hugged the couple renewing their vows on Valentine's Day. The love boat seems to have drawn George B ush out of his post-inaugural shell, and many of the 1,500 passengers sharing his Caribbean cruise are enjoying rubbing shoulders with the ex-president.

"He's a nice guy. We met him in the bar one night," Paul Needham, a telephone technician from Jackson, N.J., said Monday night as the cruise ship was docked at Pier 4 in Old San Juan.

Condoms will get more attention than usual this week as they are honored during "National Condom Week."

The Condom Resource Center is hoping to expand the use of condoms while stretching the publics knowledge about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases by sponsoring the special week, said Daniel Bao of the Condom Resource Center.

"Feb. 15-21 has been declared National Condom Week," said Bao. "This week is important because information about condoms is lacking."

The goal of condom week,which began in 1978 at the Berkley campus of the University of California, is to increase awareness of condoms and make them more accessible, said Terry Dennison, director of educational services for Planned Parenthood in Oklahoma City.

State legislature OKs UCO bonds

By Roy Howe

Staff Writer

After first being completely rewritten and then shuffled back and forth from the House to the Senate for clarification, Monday the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges was given the goahead by the state legislature to issue bonds not to exceed the amount of $37 million.

The bonds are to be sold by the regents and their revenue targeted towards the University of Central Oklahoma's $46 million Master Plan.

The Senate Concurrent Resolution 5 was authored by Edmond Republicans Senator Mark Snyder and House member Ray Vaughn and was introduced to the Senate Feb. 1.

The resolution was first approved by the Senate Feb. 9 after being completely rewritten by the Senate Education Committee.

From there, the resolution passed the House unanimously after several sentences were inserted to assure that the state would not be obligated to repay the revenue bonds or the interest that they generate.

"It's a good plan," Snyder said. "It provides finances in a reasonable manner without obligating the state in any way."

The proposal now goes to the State Regents for Higher Education for their OK. The next step would send it to the state Building Bonds Commission for final approval.

The bonds are backed by student fees.

This includes a new $2.50 per credit-hour library fee and $25 per year parking fee.

Sources to retire the 30-year bonds also include an existing $2 per credit-hour facility fee, annual rental fees and profits provided by the University Center and section 13 monies which are divided between the state's colleges and universities by revenue from state owned lands.

The only question on the House floor

prior to approval of the resolution was from a member wanting to know if this is creating a new precedent in Oklahoma?

"It is," said Vaughn. "The University of Central Oklahoma should be quite proud. It's an innovative way to finance," he said, "it's not costing the taxpayer a dime and it's sure going to make a difference on the campus."

Projects targeted from the bond's revenue include $5.5 million going towards extra parking spaces, landscaping, lighting and safety. Library expansion will receive $8.7 million, $15 million is allotted for expanding the University Center, Nigh Institute and Archive facility and $4.4 million goes towards classroom building projects.

Financing and reserve expenses for the bonds are allotted $3.5 million.

Vaughn said that selling bonds to be repaid by university fees is a concept that will spread.

"I anticipate other universities to follow once they see how successful UCO is in doing this," he said.

EDITORIAL

Clinton shows his true colors, campaign promises look blurry The old saying, "don't believe a politician's promise," holds true after President Clinton's first televised address to the nation. All through the Clinton campaign the promise of protecting and serving the middle class was just a promise.

Clinton's address was somewhat despairing. Where is the hope now that Clinton is in office and talking tax hikes and reduction of services. It had to come sooner than later.

Clinton's proposed broad-based tax on energy will ultimately affect the middle class the most. Medicare is being considered as an entity to be cut to control the deficit. All totaled, bad news for the middle class and the elderly.

What was Clinton trying to say when he said every American should sacrifice and bear the pain of economic recovery? Pain and sacrifice weren't mentioned during Clinton's campaign. Maybe Clinton gets sacrifice and change mixed up.

Clinton claims that the economic whirl wind taking shape will help America in the future. Middle class citizens are "hoping" it will after all the sacrifice and pain.

The sacrifice and pain will be tolerated OK, but what is to be expected? Middle class citizens can hold on and tolerate so much for so long. Clinton should realize that if it's squeezed too hard it might break.

The Democrat's theory of tax and spending looks a lot like Clinton's economic plan. Clinton campaigned on a pledge, promise or whatever of cutting income taxes for the middle class and raising taxes on wealthy. Also, Clinton promised to cut the federal deficit in half by 1997. That's a whopper, the federal deficit is beyond cutting. It's like a fire that is immune to any extinguishers.

Unfortunately, middle class citizens will be paying higher taxes in the form of a new energy tax. Clinton never mentioned an energy tax during Campaign '92.

Reader scornful of D&D critic have restrained numerous temptations over the years to pen a retort to the ignorance I have often observed in this column, but fmally I must protest Mr. Page's Feb. 9 Dungeons and Dragons bashing. I recall last year's D&D story in The Vista and the subsequent inevitable letters from outraged closed-minded Christians.

Children's book writers discuss profession

By Joy McNutt Student Writer

"Always write from the child's perspective and use the child's language, keeping in mind the age of your reader," was the unanimous advice of the seven children's book business professionals at the 15th Annual Conference on Writing and Illustrating Children's Books held last weekend at the Pegasus Theater in the Liberal Arts Building on the University of Central Oklahoma campus.

About 76 people were present at the conference sponsored by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Oklahoma Chapter and the UCO Liberal Arts creative studies department according to Cindy Knox, SCBWI regional advisor.

"Don't preach to kids--just play with it and have fun," advised Chris Demarest, children's book writer and illustrator.

Ginger Knowlton, agent for Curtis Brown Literary Agency in New York, said some common mistakes in writing for children are a lack of respect for a child's intelligence and stories written for the sake of teaching without entertaining first.

"Start your story in the moment that is different to catch the reader's attention," said Stephanie Tessler, children's book writer and senior editor for Boyds Mills Press, children's book publisher. She also advised writers to keep stories in the present tense by using meaningful and forward-moving dialogue and action for description to retain the reader's interest.

Tessler also suggested that writers give the reader something to figure out and end chapters in a hook to make them want to keep reading. Be sure the child protagonist works out the problem in the story without the assistance of an adult; better yet, keep the adults out of the book completely if possible, she said.

Demarest said picture books have to have action; they need to have a climax and a hook which are an abrupt but logical transition.

"When you finish a manuscript, don't mail it to a publisher right away, put it away and don't think about it for a week or longer, then re-read it and revise it, "Knowlton said.

Tessler suggested writers ask themselves if they would be willing to pay money for publishing before sending a story to a publisher.

Children's book author Lee Wardlaw said be persistent, citing that it took her 12 years to publish her first book.

Knowlton recommended that if a manuscript is rejected a lot, the writer should try to rethink it for a different age group.

"When you send out a book and wait, you're killing yourself.

You're saying there's just one book in me," Demarest said.

Children's book publishers are looking for Russian and Middle Eastern storybooks; non-traditional or unique stories; books that attract boys to read; picture books; books about friendship, ancient cultures, biographies, and Korean Cinderella stories, Knowlton said.

Sonja Fowler, owner of A Likely Story Children's Bookstore in Oklahoma City, said writers should read what is

being written in their genre to get a feel for what is selling in the current market.

SCBWI will be offering a workshop for children's bookwriters April 29 but the location is undetermined at this time. Kent Brown Jr. , Publisher at Boyds Mills Press, children's book publisher and publisher of Highlights for Children magazine, will speak and answer questions in an informal setting.

Anyone who wishes to be put on the mailing list for SCBWI can write to SCBWI, 9304 Weeping Willow Way, Edmond, Ok. 73034.

Foundation pays Reagan library note SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Four years after President Reagan left office, a private foundation has paid off the mortgage on his nearly $60 million presidential library.

The final $2 million payment on the hilltop complex was made earlier this month, said John J. Midgley, executive director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation.

The 153,000-square-foot library, 45 miles northwest of Los Angeles, was built with private donations. It is the largest of the various presidential museums.

Morrill refused to give a motive and would not disclose how Kay was killed except to say that no guns or knives were involved.

Broncho flash-n-dash causes Greyhound crash Wright pops for 45 points

By Justin Harper Sports Editor ".01.11•111111.

Led by Alex Wright's 45 points, Central Oklahoma's basketball team took a major step toward a third-straight Lone Star Conference title with a heart-stopping 111-109 victory over league leading Eastern New Mexico Monday inside Broncho Field House.

The Bronchos took a four-point, 111-107 lead on a Spencer Wright bucket with 19 seconds left in the game and held on as the Greyhounds could only manage a lay-up before time expired.

The Bronchos are now 8-2 in the LSC, while ENMU drops to 92. The Greyhounds still hold a half-game lead in the conference standings by virtue of their nine wins, however the Bronchos have accounted for both ENMU losses.

UCO trailed by a point, 59-58, at the half despite Wright's 31 points at intermission. The 45-point outburst by Wright offset the Greyhounds triumvirate of Mark Baugh (28 points), Anthony Sullen (24 points) and Shonteau Joshua (24 points). UCO's Darrell Gibson fired in 16 points to aid the Bronchos.

The Bronchos had an excellent shooting night scorching the net at a 55 percent clip from the field and shooting 44 percent from threepoint land.

Central, now 19-5 on the season, will look to continue it's quest for the LSC crown on Saturday, playing at Abilene Christian.
