Phillips handing out 1,100 pink slips BARTLESVILLE, Okla. (AP) — Phillips Petroleum Co. said Tuesday it will cut an estimated 1,100 jobs by the end ofinne as the energy company tries to save money. The cuts will affect 850 employees and 100 full-time contract personnel in Bartlesville, where the company is based. About 150 employees at the Houston office and several field locations also will be laid off. Employees will be notified of layoffs beginning in early March. The notification will be complete by the end of the month.

Oregonian

banishes Indian monikers PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —Indians have disappeared from the sports pages of Oregon's largest newspaper, along with Braves, Redmen and Redskins. The Oregonian has declared the nicknames of those sports teams offensive and will not print them. "We do not expect the rest of the journalistic world to fall into line behind us, nor do we presume that our action will change any team names," Managing Editor Peter Thompson said in a statement. "But we have concluded that we will not be a passive participant in perpetuating racial or cultural stereotypes in our community — whether by the use of nicknames or in any other way."

Trucker charged in sewage dumping

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Norman is negotiating with a sewage removal company whose driver allegedly was caught dumping sewage on the ground. Randall Speer, 39, of Oklahoma City was arrested last week. Speer was charged with two misdemeanor counts of discharging sewage without a permit after a Cleveland County Health Department investigation linked him to raw sewage dumped at another location.

Assessments set to begin for students in fall '92 By Pam Thurman Staff Writer Assessment testing set to begin in the fall at the University of Central Oklahoma will benefit both students and teachers, said Karen Maltby, director of Institutional Assessment and Academic Support Services. "Neither the departments nor the students need to be worried," Maltby said. "The assessment program is not geared toward evaluating individual students, but by using assessment activities to measure student's academic progress we are able to determine the effectiveness of the university's programs." The program will be designed to provide feedback to the departments regarding the academic programs they have designed, Maltby said. "It will also give students an idea of how well they are doing, and they can decide what they need to work on for their own personal growth," she said. Eventually students will be assessed four times in their college careers: when they enroll to decide placement in appropriate courses; when they complete general education requirements; before graduation; and one last time to determine a student's satisfaction with the university's programs and services, Maltby said. Maltby said exams for incoming freshmen, and students who have completed general requirements are expected to be ready for the fall semester, but not all students in these categories would be assessed.

66 Students may not recognize the value of their degree until later, or vice versa, students may not discover until later that their education program didn't meet their needs. —Karen Maltby Assessment Director The last test will be given initially at graduation, Maltby said, but she hopes that as the assessment program builds its resources they will be able to assess students three and six years after graduation. "Students may not recognize the value of their degree until later, or vice versa, students may not discover until later that their education program didn't meet their needs," Maltby said. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, said the assessment policy was approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in the summer of 1991, and is financed by a $1 per-semester-hour fee that was included in a tuition increase last fall.

Who should pay to repair the inadequacies

EDITORIAL

in the Oklahoma City jail?

Builder's burden

lahoma County voters passed a bond issue in 1990 to provide the county with an "escapeproof" jail. A month after the jail was in operation, two prisoners had escaped and another was on the verge of escaping when county officials called Standard Testing and Engineering Company to test the glass blocks and mortar used in the construction of the jail. Standard found faulty workmanship and inadequate equipment were the major causes of these escapes. So who will end up paying for these mistakes? According to the district attorney's office, primary contractor Manhattan Construction Company will be asked to pay for the repairs, but in the past, taxpayers have been billed for similar situations. It is up to county officials to make sure the people at fault foot the bill for this screw up, and taxpayers are not, once again, left holding the bag.

Dahmer sane

hen a jury found Jeffery Dahmer sane Saturday it proved the American judicial system, flawed as it is, still works — sometimes. In Dahmer's case the jury may not have acted so much in support of the system, but in reaction to the horror that someday a monster might once again stalk the streets. At first glance it's hard to see how anyone who kills 15 people, has sex with their dead bodies, and eats the leftovers could be sane. This case was also unusual in that during a normal murder trial all jurors must render a guilty verdict. Dahmer's hearing only required that 10 jurors agree. Also, the burden of proof was on the defense. Some lawmakers may argue that the insanity defense itself is lunacy. If Dahmer had been judged insane he could have petitioned for release within six months. He now faces 15 life sentences. Regrettably, Wisconsin has no death penalty. Just be thankful 10 jurors chose not to let Dahmer hide behind the law, and made an attempt to make him pay for his crimes.

Brown has presidential potential ontrary to popular opinion, there are substantial differences in quality of ideas and political theory among the presidential candidates. A close look at the Clinton candidacy reveals that a vote for Bill Clinton is a vote for the policies of George Bush. (A kinder gentler version of Bush?) So if you value the relatively valueless politics of the Bush administration you can either vote for Bush or Clinton. (Two candidates for the price of one!) But don't believe for a second that Clinton is a viable alternative to Bush. I've heard far too many people say they will vote for Clinton because "he's the only one who can beat Bush." That's how you bet on horses, not how you pick candidates. Clinton is not

running against Bush in the primary, he's running against other Democrats. Until all voters choose their candidates based on ideas, voting records, political integrity and such, we will continue to be inundated with candidate like Michael Dukakis, George Bush and Bill Clinton. A 30-second ad is no way to choose a candidate, nor is nightly news coverage, which, until recently, was obscenely biased in favor of Clinton. We short circuit our democracy when we cast uninformed votes or choose not to vote for the best candidate because he or she is a long shot. I am writing this letter out of frustration. Our state officials seemed to endorse Bill Clinton as if it were a natural reflex. There is

an alternative. Despite the news media's repeated attempts at character assasination, Jerry Brown's campaign remains the campaign of new ideas, reforms, openness, cultural understanding and knowledge. True, he can be coarse, a bit raw in the debates, but he is telling truths that have been ignored by virtually all the other candidates, Democrat and Republican. I'd like to tell everyone more about the Brown campaign. I'm running the campaign in Oklahoma. Anyone interested can call 359-7438. You have until the end of February to register to vote in the March 10 primary.

Counting calories contradicted rease-gobbling on-therun students need information about their fastfood habits, the subject of Penny Owen's series on eating trends. There is useful information there. However, some important numbers cited in the Feb. 13 initial installment fall short of accuracy and medical soundness. Correcting those figures could save someone from following unintentionally bad dietary advice. Ms. Owen quoted Dr. Michael F. Jacobson and Sarah Fritschner as having recommended an oddly high daily intake of 2900 calorties for men and 2200 per day for women, each within broad age parameters. But worse, after suggesting that fat account for no more than 25 percent of those daily calories Ms. Owen submitted a translation of those calories into

fat grams which was extremely far from correct. The 14 and 16 grams in the article, in fact, represent not 25 percent of those respective men's and women's daily totals, but only 6 percent. Each gram of fat should be valued at 9 calories which certainly leads to higher allowances of fat for those rather high calorie consumptions. In truth, an individual should consider with caution those recommendations that don't take into account his or her personal variables such as height and activity level. One should get wellinformed to get the most benefit from adjustments to one's lifestyle. Even so, some more reliable guidelines follow below. Dr. Kenneth Cooper, in "Controlling Cholesterol," said that women require 1500 to 1700 calories per day to maintain proper

weight, while men need 2000 to 2500. Twenty-five percent of those daily calories from fat falls within a moderate category of maintenance diet in Cooper's book, while the strictest weight and cholesterol reducing diet outlined therein provided for 10 to 15 percent of calories from fat. Twenty-five percent of 2000 calories equals 50 grams of fat. Ten percent of 2000 calories equals 22 grams of fat. Twenty-five percent of 1500 calories equals 41 grams of fat. Ten percent of 1500 calories equals 17 grams of fat. Please accept these corrections, respectfully and humbly submitted in the spirit of service to readers whose welfare may depend on having useful and accurate data on this subject.

Americans eating healthier; fat, cholesterol out of style By Penny Owen Staff Writer

This story is the second of a four part weekly series concerning new American eating trends. Not long ago, passing a fast food restaurant without getting a whiff of grease was like having Fourth of July with no fireworks; it reeked of treason. But with the spotlight on fat and cholesterol today, some fast food chains are peeling the skins off their chickens, switching fried foods to ovens and skimming off the fat in everything from milk to beef to mayonnaise. Americans are realizing that too much saturated fat and cholesterol in a diet can kill — or at least make a long, healthy life improbable. Although progress has been made in the fast food industry, most fast food items are still 40 to 60 percent fat, which is over twice the recommended amount. Fat intake should not exceed 25 percent of the diet. That equals 14 to 16 teaspoons daily for a man or woman within their average height and weight. Each gram of fat contains nine calories, said Dr. Kenneth Cooper in his book "Controlling Cholesterol." To get an idea of an ideal fat

intake, multiply the number of daily calories by the recommended fat percentage, then divide that number by nine. For example, 25 percent of a 2,000 calorie diet equals 500 calories. Divide 500 calories by nine and that equals 55.5 grams. However, most fast food patrons aren't likely to carry a calculator when eating out. But a general awareness of what contains fat, and what doesn't, makes a healthy choice easier. Saturated fats hide in items like butter, lard, whole milk, ice cream, cheese, red meats such as bologna and hot dogs, fried foods, nuts, chips, chocolate, donuts and pastries. The New York Bagel Shop, at 15th and Broadway in Edmond, serves a variety of bagels, all with less than a tenth of a gram of fat. They also serve turkey breast and ham that are about 95 percent fatfree. In addition, the New York Bagel Shop makes an albacore white tuna salad and a breast of chicken salad with low-fat mayonnaise. Two tablespoons of regular mayonnaise equals nearly 200 calories, 97 percent of which is fat. Most Subway Deli sandwiches contain 30 percent fat. The meatball sandwich has the highest fat

and calories, with 429 calories and 16 fat grams, or 34 percent fat. Still, it has half the fat of a McDonald's Big Mac. Because of the high fiber content., the pintos and cheese at Taco Bell tops the healthy list. It has only 200 calories and 9 fat grams, but is still 43 percent fat. Taco Bell has also switched from fatty coconut oil to corn oil for frying, and has taken the lard out of their beans and tortillas. Long John Silvers now offers a baked fish dinner, with rice and a tossed salad. The entire two-piece meal has only 320 calories and 4 fat grams, and only 11 percent fat. But, Long John Silvers' fried foods still are high in fat and calories. For instance, a three-piece Homestyle fish dinner, with fryes, coleslaw and two hushpuppies, equals 830 calories, 42 percent of which are fat. Long John Silvers' chicken planks contain 130 calories, and 42 percent fat; a piece of Homestyle fish has 125 calories, and 50 percent fat; and a piece of battered fish is 210 calories, and 51 percent fat. As for french fries, Long John Silvers has the lowest known calorie count in fast-foodland. An order of "fryes" has 170 calories and 32 percent fat.

Senate circulates library petition By Roger Groce Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Student Senate is collecting petition signatures to encourage the passage of a bill extending campus library hours. Passage of the bill would change the library's Friday evening closing from the current 5 p.m. time to 10 p.m., and from 6 p.m. Saturday nights to 10 p.m., said Elaine Paparonis, Student Senate

Commuter Affairs Committee chairperson. The library computer lab hours will also be extended to 9 p.m. both Friday and Saturday. "It's been passed by the senate by unanimous consent. We're shooting for 5,000 signatures," Paparonis said. Over 90 percent of UCO students are commuters and work on weeknights. Many need Friday and Saturday evenings to catch up on library research and study, Pa-

paronis said. The University of Oklahoma library is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Oklahoma State University has library hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m Saturday. The senate will be gathering signatures until March. Anyone interested in signing the petition can go by the Student Association Office, in the University Center, room 424E. V

13 Bronchos left stranded in 11-10 loss Brian McGee's three-run homer ignited a four-run eighth inning for Central Oklahoma, but the Bronchos stranded two of 13 runners in the ninth and lost an 11-10 slugfest in the season opener for both baseball teams Tuesday afternoon at Oklahoma Christian. Broncho starting pitcher Ward Chase left the game after four innings, striking out five and allowing four Eagle runs, but right fielder Brian Wood homered to give UCO a 5-4 lead that stood up until the bottom half of the seventh. OC hitters retaliated, however, scoring four runs in the bottom of the seventh to take a commanding 11-5 lead. Broncho relief pitcher Brian Collins struck out the first and third batters he faced but gave up five hits, including back-toback home runs. Eagle reliever Donnie Harde allowed the bases loaded in the ninth but allowed just one runner to score. Harden struck out pinch hitter John Huff to start the ninth, then hit Jon Edwards and walked Mike Ledbetter. Scott Howard then blooped a pinch-hit called error past the shortstop, loading the bags with just one out. McGee's sacrifice fly scored Edwards to pull UCO within 11-10, but Steve Henderson flied out to deep left field for the final out.

A promising Central Oklahoma softball team launches it's '92 season and it's hopes for an NCAA II playoff spot Tuesday when it plays host to NAIA power Oklahoma City in a 3 p.m. double header. The Lady Bronchos return six starters from last season's 25-15 squad, including All-America candidates, pitcher Genny Honea and catcher Amy Douglas. Junior Sherry McIntosh (1B), sophomore Tammy George (2B), junior Shelly Williamson (OF) and sophomore Christy Burcham (P) also return to claim their starting positions. Honea 14-5 last year with a 0.74 ERA, doubles as the shortstop when not pitching. Douglas hit .336 in '91 and drove in a school record 27 RBI's, and McIntosh batted .258.

HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) - A 25-year-old man died after he lost control of his car, crashed into a cemetery and was hurled from the car into a headstone, police said. Marshall Gambrel' died of head injuries in the crash Sunday. He lost control of the car, crossed a grassy area, went through a hedgerow into Beaverdale Memorial Park and was thrown into the marble headstone, police said. Gambrel, from Alexandria, Va., had been visiting relatives in Connecticut.

Giles said he agreed because the purpose of having an internal auditor is that they operate independently. "They blow whistles whenever necessary," he said. An emergency clause was added to the proposal that called for the resolution to be put in effect immediately. V

One senator asked who would conduct the bookstore investiga-

TOKYO (AP) - Two Americans protested the fur business Tuesday by stripping down to their underwear and marching through a crowded shopping district carrying a banner reading "We'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur." Ignoring the nippy winter chill - it was 46 degrees - Dan Matthews and Julia Sloane of the Washington-based People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals walked for an hour outside Sunshine 60, Japan's tallest building. "By showing some of our own skin, we hope to save some animal skins," Matthews said. Sloane said they chose the site because 101 furriers from around the world were opening a four-day event - the Fur and Fashion Tokyo Messe 1992 - inside the 60-story building.

Continued from page 1 Also during the meeting, the senate passed a resolution calling for a study of bookstore and supply room operations. Several senators expressed aggravation concerning textbooks, and said they have not been able to properly conduct their classes because the texts are not available.
