Effect of Zapatistas on sister city vague By Jennifer Palmer Staff writer
Although rebellion is popping up around Mexico, University of Central Oklahoma officials seem to be unafraid of possible damage to their new "sister city" program starting with a local university in Puebla, about 50 miles southeast of Mexico City. The Zapatista Indians of southern Mexico, who are fighting for government reforms and electoral reforms, have been setting off conflicts and rebellions throughout the southern Mexico regions. Sparked by the government's elimination of the Mexican Constitution's promise of land for all peasants, the Zapatistas have exhibited their anger with a series of guerrilla-style incidents with the brunt of attacks in Chiapas. Puebla is "not involved or threatened at all," said Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute. Reherman and UCO President George Nigh plan to visit the Universidad Popular Au tonomal Del Es tado De Puebla (Autonomous University of Puebla) in the city of Puebla during the week of spring break. "This is a rebellion of the peasant class for basic freedoms. The conflict is over 100 miles away, through mountainous regions. The (Mexican) Embassy officials have said
nothing to us about this conflict," said Reherman. "This reminds me of Pancho Villa who led a Mexican rebellion over a hundred years ago. There has always been unrest, and conflict seems to travel slow," said Dr. Marcia Hakala, chairperson of the UCO foreign language department. "S ubcomindante Marcos," an estimated

He writes daily letters to newspapers and has invited "virtually the entire press corps," "The Dallas Morning News " reported Feb. 11 But college students in Mexico are "much more active politically" than many U.S. students seem to be, said Hakala. "College students take very firm posi-

tions on these issues in Mexico," said Hakala. "These Zapatistas... have written to the
major universities asking students for moral support. They want help learning to read and write," Hakala said. The Zapatista rebels announced their anger with an attack in the southern Mexico state of Chiapas on New Year's Day, threatening to march to Mexico City and overthrow the president. "The Dallas Morning News" reported last Thursday that about 70 armed men were seen in the southern state of Oaxaca, about 50 miles southeast of Puebla. Possible armed bands in the nearby state of Guerrero, bordering Puebla and Mexico City on the southwest, have also been sighted. In addition, a group of about 300 sympathizers in Puebla are calling themSee PUEBLA, Page 3
UCO offices present satellite conferences Matt Williamson Student Writer
Three campus offices are working in concert to bring satellite conferences to the University of Central Oklahoma. The office of Academic Affairs, the UCO Media Center and the UCO Computer Center have combined efforts to present another satellite conference Thursday at noon in Conference Room No. 1 of the Commu-
nication Annex. The theme for this session is "Classroom Design with Technology in Mind." This session is the third that has been held on campus. The previous two were last semester and focused on maximizing multimedia for campus use and technology across the campus. The program originates from the Institute for Academic Technology (IBM/University of North Carolina Partnership).
Designing classrooms that best meet curricular requirements and configuring classrooms to address the technology shift in teaching and learning models are two subjects slated for discussion at the conference. Terry May, from the office of Academic Affairs, urges faculty and administration to attend. "It's no longer a question of chalk and blackboard," said May. "It's now CD-
ROM and we are trying to become as informed as we can about technology." The UCO Computer Center is funding the satellite fees for the campus. The cost of receiving is $295 for each session and include the right to tape the session for reference materials. Maithreyi Manoharan, director of the UCO Computer Center, said her department funded the sessions because they are service oriented.

Tulsa shooting raises questions of control
I
n the wake of the Feb. 15 shooting of three high school
students at a fast-food restaurant in Tulsa, school officials there are considering a move that would not allow students to leave the campus during school hours. The idea is also being considered state-wide. While no sane person wants a repeat of the kind of tragedy caused by the lone gunman last week at the Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers restaurant, closing school campuses is not a viable response, nor an effective safeguard. In fact, it makes as little sense as restricting all horses to the barn because a few horses were viciously spurred by one rider. Those three students were not shot because they were allowed to leave campus for lunch. They were shot because one disturbed individual acted irresponsibly. As far as keeping kids away from any potential "line of fire," Tulsa school officials might consider checking the lockers and waistbands of students in the school halls before deciding where gunfire is most likely to erupt. Too much control over the affairs of private citizens, and especially of children, exists now, without a random incident, regardless of how disturbing, giving officials an excuse for more. Instead, why not restrict the movement of those who have a proven history of shooting people, as was the case with the man arrested for the Wendy's attack? That will save a lot more lives.
In the Feb. 15 issue of The Vista a story about a UCO time capsule contains several errors. It was reported that Mary Bond was director of archives and the Chambers Library. Bond is head of the university's archives. Dr. John Lolley is director of libraries. Also, it is not the Archives Chambers Library, but the Special Collections and Archives, which is affiliated with Max Chambers Library, but located in Room 103 of Evans Hall. Also, the date of Nov. 19, 1915 for the placing of the original fourth UCO time capsule is erroneous. The original first capsule was place Dec. 20, 1915. The fourth time capsule was buried May 2, 1952 to replace the first capsule, the contents of which were destroyed and unable to be salvaged. Also, the Methodist Episcopal Church was destroyed by fire in 1927, not 1923. A number of miscellaneous inaccuracies also occur in the story. We regret the errors.

Reader educates about drums, outfits When I read the Vista's Feb. 10 edition, I read a couple of words about the Benefit Pow-wow that need to be corrected. Playing the drums - this is something sacred that one never "plays" with. Try: singing at the drums. Costume - this is not Halloween. We are not pretending to be Indians. Try: outfit. I am not trying to be over-critical. I am trying to educate. My husband says, "Don't say anything." But if people don't know, then how will they know when there is a mistake? -S. Franklin UCO Freshman Editor's note: The Vista regrets the misuse of terms, and sincerely apologizes for any offense caused by the inadvertent error.
Woman enjoysstudent-motherarticle As a gradutate student working on maybe a second master's in special education, I loved the article today (Feb. 1 issue) about the lady with three children who is coming to school on student loans and scholarships and now can spend time with her children. I think the "me first" generation of the '70s has contributed to the decline of parents spending quality home time with children. I am offended by people like my inlaws who never went to college accusing me of "living off the government" going to school forever on student loans. Another factor is that some of us over 40 had elderly parents in nursing homes to spend time with before it was too late. We are not "living off the government." A person who gets a scholarship deserves it because they worked for it. And those of us going to school on loans are going to pay the loans back when we become teachers, or school media specialists in my case, doctors and professionals. My first husband, a gifted inventor who had a dream of doing
great things with science and inventions since he was a small boy, took his own life when my son was seven. Widows raising children on social security are not living off the government, our husbands worked and paid into the system. I've always felt if I had been home more in the '70s instead of working and almost living at the community college, I could have spent quality family time with him and my small son. He might be alive today, following his dream as I'm following my dream to work in a special needs school or children's library with the children's books I've learned to love in Dr. Hill's Children's Lit. class. The past week, I've been very offended by class discussions of welfare mothers and how hard some superhuman mothers work 80 hours a week while getting their degrees. What happens to housework during this time? It seems the times I've taken the most hours and worked were times when things at home fell apart the most. I hope that if Clinton is
going to give everyone two years to "get off welfare," he will create more programs and opportunities for women to attend vo-techs, community or four-year colleges and maybe work part time so that when children are older, the mothers will have jobs that pay enough, and that they enjoy. I feel that it is just as bad to get locked into a boring job you hate for 20 years and never be able to be creative or learn on the job as it is to be on welfare. I've seen quite a few older women unhappy with jobs they are locked into. I don't want to end up sending my son to college next year on that kind of job with my master's, plus 60 hours going to waste. Let's make things easier for mothers (and fathers) who have children and attend UCO. I would love to see an interdenominational religious group for women over the traditional college age who have families and come to school, because church groups on campus seem to only reach out to traditional college-age students. -Virginia Brooks UCO Student

This would allow UCO professors, faculty and alumni to work with the Puebla university on an exchange program with staff, faculty and alumni from Autonimous University of Pueblo. The exchange program is being represented by the office of the Mayor, the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce, the State Department of Commerce, Oklahoma
City Public Schools and UCO. In Oklahoma City, there are currently similar programs set up with the Peoples Republic of China, Taiwan, Israel and Mexico, Reherman said. "Our goal is to achieve an exchange program that will involve students, faculty, administration and alumni to bridge this international commitment," said Reherman.
UCO broadcast students win 29 awards in OBEA competition By Michelle Peller Staff Writer
Several awards were received by the University of Central Oklahoma broadcast students at the fourth annual Oklahoma Broadcast Education Association (OBEA) competition Feb. 6 in Oklahoma City. The competition was held in conjunction with OBEA and Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters' statewide Student Day. This year' s finish brings UCO' s
total number of top honors to 41 since 1990, leaving only 44 for all other Oklahoma colleges and universities combined, said Gerald T. Howard, instructor of oral communication. UCO students finished with 12 first-place awards, eight secondplace awards and nine third-place awards, Howard said. The judges for the competition consisted of 27 broadcasters from the metropolitan area, said Dr. Jack W. Deskin, oral communication professor.
At the competition, there were 23 categories, he said. "Each year we' ve brought back more than all the schools combined," Deskin said. "I think it proved once again the strength of UCO' s broadcasting program in the state." UCO' s KCSU-TV, Cable Channel 29, received first and second place in the TV Newscast category for "The Edmond Report" and first and third in the TV Public Affairs Program category for
"About Edmond."

Nigh, SGA discuss budget By Michelle Peller
Staff Writer
Women suffers setback in son's adoption case with gay couple SEA' ILE (AP) — A woman fighting to block theadoption of her 3-year-old son by a gay couple suffered a setback 'hen her husband filed for separation. In the filing, 'Wade Lucas accuses Megan Lucas of death threats, suicide attempts and mental instability. The development makes it "extraordinarily unlikely" that Megan Lucas will be able to get her son back, said Dennis Kole, an attorney for the state Deparunent of Social and Health Services. The boy is staying with gay foster parents in Seattle. The state is opposing the Lucases' attempt to adopt the boy. Mrs. Lucas voluntarily gave up her parental rights to her son in September 1992 after a history of child neglect, drug and alcohol abuse. She filed the petition to adopt after finding out her son was with gay foster parents, Ross and Luis Lopton. The same sex couple have filed a competing petition to adopt the child. Wade Lucas filed for legal separation Monday in San Juan County Superior Court. Judge Alan Hancock issued a restraining order barring, Megan Lucas, 22, from entering the couple's home on Orcas Island. Hancock acted after Wade Lucas, 32, testified that hiS wife in a telephone call said she had a gun and threatened to kill him and their 22-montli-old daughter. Megan Lucas testified she didn't own a gun and denied making the threat. The Lucases' adoption attorney, Richard Kimberly of Bellingham, did not return telephone calls Tuesday.
New House bill to require briefing parents on sex education courses OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Schools would have to brief parents on their children's sexual education courses under a bill approved by a state House subcommittee. The normally sensitive issue of sex education was upstaged Tuesday by one equally sensitive to GOP legislators — legislative politics — after Democratic members of the common education subcommittee refused to consider Republican proposals to amend Rep. James Hager's bill. Rep. Dan Webb, R-Oklahoma City, accused Democratic colleagues of playing "Mickey Mouse games" before becoming one of several Republicans to walk out of the subcommittee meeting. Hager, D-Pawhuska, said his bill was in reaction to a survey circulated among children in a school district in his area. Some parents were surprised and displeased by the survey, which dealt with sexual topics, he said. His House Bill 1879 would require school districts to brief parents on the material and topics scheduled for instruction on sexual behavior. It also would let parents pull their child from the courses, and would require school boards to review and approve any instruction material used on the topic. Voices started hitting higher registers and fists started hitting tables when Democrats ignored a proposal by Rep. Ray Vaughn, R-Edmond, to amend the bill so as to specify sexual education classes must not condone homosexual behavior. Republicans said it was symptomatic of a Democratic disregard for proposals by the minority party.
Prisoner found crushed to death after escaping in garbage truck IMMOKALEE, Fla. (AP) — A prisoner who apparently escaped in a garbage truck was found crushed to death in a landfill. Authorities identified Anastasio Figueroa, 41, of Miami through his fingerprints, said Jesse Jenkins Jr., assistant superintendent at Hendry Correctional Institution. Figueroa was serving a life sentence for attempted kidnapping. Prison officials discovered he was missing Monday, about 45 minutes after a garbage truck left the prison. Guards found Figueroa's body at a landfill. He had apparently been crushed in the truck's compactor, Jenkins said.
President George Nigh of the University of Central Oklahoma addressed the StudentGovernment Association at its meeting Feb. 14 where discussion involved circulating a petition to keep the budget the same as last year. SGA is helping by having petitions signed to not have a budget cut for higher education or to keep the budget the same. The signed petitions were submitted at the Higher Education Day at the capitol Feb. 8. The deadline for petitions has been extended until Friday. He said they need "several hundred more or so."
"We still have some time," Nigh said. "We need a thousand to be representable." Nigh said all they want to say is "please don't cut us, just give us the same amount." "If we get the same amount of money as last year, we'd be happy," he said. Nigh said he is grateful for the efforts that SGA has done. "I'd appreciate it very much if student senate would continue its efforts," Nigh said. Nigh also addressed the groundbreaking day to be held on campus April 22. Nigh talked about having a landrun theme. "We'd want as many students as possible (to participate)," he
said. Nigh talked about having different groundbreakings over the campus, then everyone would "converge to Thatcher Lake for the big groundbreaking." Nigh said he would really appreciate it if SGA agreed to be a part of this day. "We're very excited about this," he said. Nigh said there is to be $52 million in renovations on the campus. "It's bigger than anything this campus has seen in history," he said. "It will never look the same." "We're very excited...I hope you all will be too," Nigh said. "We're looking at a lot of changes."
Career Fair set for Feb. 23 Sheila Nunnelee
Student Writer The Multicultural Student Services will sponsor the Career Fair from 1 - 4 p.m. Feb. 23 in the University Center Grand Ballroom. The fair will provide opportunities for students to speak with and give out resumes to representatives from over 50 companies.
This fair will benefit students, because they are building contacts and are given the chance to speak with companies about job openings, summer jobs and internships, Barry Lofton, coordinator of Multicultural Student Services, said. Booths will be set up by representatives of various companies that will allow students to interact with the people who are doing the hiring, Lofton said.
Some of the companies coming to the Career Fair include State Farm Insurance, Federal Reserve Bank and the Tulsa Police Department. Last year, over 400 students attended the fair, and people definitely did find jobs and internships afterwards, Lofton said. The fair is open to everyone and no registration is necessary.

Students audition for Central Follies By Michelle Peller Staff Writer Auditions for the annual University Center Activities Board (UCAB) Central Follies took place Wednesday night at the University of Central Oklahoma in the Lariat Room of the University Center. Nine acts, compared to last year's 15, auditioned for the Follies. The acts involved singers, dancers and guitarists. Last year, singers were the only acts that auditioned, said Missy UCAB sponsor and director of activities for University Center.
"We have a more variety this year," Hunter said. The acts were judged by members of UCAB on costumes, originality, difficulty, stage presence and entertainment value. Hunter said the faculty were the judges for the Follies last year, but this year UCAB would like the Edmond community to be the judges. Currently, UCAB is going through the Chamber of Commerce and the Edmond Arts and Humanities Council to find judges for this event. The performances for the Follies will not have a time limit. First, second and third place and a people's choice award will be given for the performances.
ATM machines do double duty NEW YORK (AP) — Tens of thousands of New Yorkers who withdrew money from Chemical Bank automatic teller machines had their transactions doubled by a malfunctioning computer
program. If a customer withdrew $100, the machine gave $100 and a receipt showing a $100 withdrawal, but noted the transaction as a $200 withdrawal in the bank's computer records. The glitch affected about 150,000 transactions made between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, spokesman Ken Herz said.

" 'The Family' is an intriguing, eye-opening collection of short stories, essays, poetry and art which reflect today's families from the traditional to the totally unique," Tami Watson, managing editor of the New Plains Review, said. "But instead of just focusing on the traditional family, we try to also look at gay and lesbian marriages and also gay

Watts speaks on state of AfricanAmericans, racism, education By Jimmy Hyde Staff Writer
"I have the opportunity to visit many college and high school campuses across the country and I'm delighted to be about 45 minutes from home, here in Edmond," said J.C. Watts, the Black Heritage Keynote Speaker. Watts, Corporation Commissioner of the state of Oklahoma, came to the University of Central Oklahoma to speak to faculty and students about education, racism and the state of African-Americans. "Blacks as a whole have moved from a position of utter destitution, in terms of wealth, education and human rights to place along side of their ethnic counterparts. Although none have had to come from so far back to join the race," said Watts. Before Watts took the podium, the "BlackNationalAnthem" was
sung and former Miss Black UCO 1992, Sonya Carter, delivered a dramatic monologue entitled
"Our Destiny." February is designated Black History Month in the United States and activities have been slated throughout the month at UCO. "There is a downside to the

The downside is we should not have to celebrate black history just in February. Black America has made a viable, valuable contribution to the growth and prosperity of this country," Watts said. Watts spoke at lengths about the concerns and difficulties fac-
ing African-Americans today. "The challenge that meets the black American is the same as it has always been; not to go through life as a victim, but to live life victorious," said Watts. "Racism and discrimination, they do exist and they will probably remain constants, but they should never be an excuse for your lack of developing. They should never be offered as a reason for your failure to dream, to strive and to press forward," said Watts. Watts stressed the importance of "old fashioned family values" throughout his speech, and in closing he urged those in attendance that if they see an injustice against any race, to stand up. "It is not a black or a white struggle. It is not a man's struggle or a woman's struggle, it is our struggle," said Watts. In 1990, Watts became the first black to hold a state office for either political party in Oklahoma. Watts defeated a nine-year incumbent to become Corporation Commissioner of Oklahoma.

My friend Carol said she hates it when people drop by her house without calling first or fail to use their turn signals. You can ask just about anybody what their pet peeve is, and you are likely to get a pensive pause followed by a big gush of grievances.

ROTC cadets learn CPR, aid
Debate team places high in tournament
Carol Cole-Mills
Guest Writer In six to 10 minutes, you could drink a cup of coffee, walk from one class to another or call a friend. You could also become brain dead. Deprived of oxygen, the brain becomes seriously damaged in as little as six minutes. And that's if you live. University of Central Oklahoma ROTC cadets recently became certified in cardio-pulmonary resusitation (CPR) as part of several first-aid courses they are taking. Tech. Sgt. Sam Mitchell from Tinker's Red Cross unit volunteered his time to instruct the cadets. The training can save the life of a victim suffering from a variety of problems ranging from heart attacks to obstructed airways. With heart attacks the number one cause of death in adults 40 years old and older, Mitchell stressed the importance of knowing CPR. "The first thing you do when coming upon a victim is the ABCs," said Mitchell. The ABCs are assessing the scene, checking the victim's breathing and circulation. After checking the victim, Mitchell advised choosing an onlooker to get help, telling them specifically what the problem is such as the victim not breathing to relate to 9-1-1. Mitchell showed a film depicting how a heart attack scenario develops. The most significant symptom abore. . TImbers of Edmond igy Apartment Homes

of a heart attack is chest pain in the center or left side. Other symptoms include indigestion, nausea, trouble breathing, disorientation, sweating and a general ill feeling or appearance. "There are no cut and dry answers to symptoms of a heart attack," said Mitchell. "The victim may suffer from any or all of the symptoms." Mitchell said many victims deny their symptoms and try to find other reasons for how they feel. But the most important factor for surviving a heart attack is early

action. An unconscious victim may be helped immediately, said Mitchell. But he said according to Oklahoma law, if the victim is conscious, consent must be obtained before helping. Good samaritan laws differ from state to state. "It's a lot to remember," said UCO freshman Kelly Cornman. "Every situation is different." But she said she was happy to be trained in CPR. "You never know whose life you might save," said Mitchell.

The Psychology behind the Citibank ClassicVisa card: The emotional security of the Photocard, now with No Annual Fee. The Citibank Classic Visa instills in students feelings of safety, security, and general wellness not unlike those experienced in the womb. Therefore, it is the mother of all credit cards. 91 Some experts attribute these feelings to the Citibank Photocard, the first credit card with your photo on it. A voice inside says, "This is me, really me." (As opposed to, "Who the heck is that?"—a common response to the photo on one's Student ID.) It's an immediate form of ID, a boost to your self-image. 910f course if

Hot- shooting Bronchos hold off late Indian uprising 118-113 Stan Wagnon
Student Writer

Central Oklahoma avenged a home-court loss to Midwestern State by defeating the Indians on their home court Thursday as the Bronchos shot a blistering 51percent from the field and raced to a 118-113 victory. UCO, 15-8 prior to the games with Abilene Christian and Angelo State, connected on 46 of 91 field goals, including 25 of 45 (56 percent) in the second half. The Bronchos used a 10-2 scoring run to sieze control of the game midway through the second half before a furious MSU rally tightened the game down the stretch. Zoderick Green drained a pair of 3-pointers during that span as the Bronchos took a 94-83 lead with 7:42 remaining in the game.
Johnny Tyson added another 3point bomb one minute later, and UCO appeared on its way to an easy win. Midwestern State's Jason Paty then nailed back-to-back 3-pointers to start the Indian rally. Paty was fouled on the latter of his treys and sank the free throw to make it a 106-103 ballgame with 3:31 remaining. UCO' s Junie Sanders made an easy layup to give the Bronchos a 108-105 edge with 2:41 remaining, but E.J. Collins netted a 3pointer on the ensuing possession to tie the game at 108-108. After a pair of free throws by Sanders, Collins again connected from long range to give the Indians a 111110 advantage at the 1:49 mark. Back-to-back treys by Andre Jackson and Green provided the Bronchos with more than enough for the win, and Jackson and Pechone Stepps each added one
free throw in the final seconds of the game. "It was a big, big win for us," said Head Coach Jim Seward. "The guys played extremely hard tonight, and this should give us some momentum as we close out the regular season." UCO ends the regular season at Cameron this Saturday before entering the Lone Star Conference Post-Season Tournament on March 1. In the first half, Joe Hooks led the Bronchos with 18 points on seven of seven shooting, and UCO led by as many as six points in the opening 20 minutes. However, MSU rallied in the closing minutes of the first period and took a 55-53 advantage at the intermission. Sanders scored a game-high 32 points, including 21 in the second half, while Hooks finished 11 of 13 from the field with 26 points.
Track season off and running; Larabee, Schlinke lead way By Rachel Schnitzer
Sports Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma track teams are off and running, with three meets under their belts. Both the Bronchos and Lady Bronchos ran in the Sooner Invitational on Jan. 29. The men were led by freshman Jason Larabee who broke the 10-year-old school record in the mile run with a time of 4:13.35. His record-breaking
performance earned him second place at the meet, as well as qualified him for the NCAA Division II Indoor Championships in Fargo North Dakota on March 11-12. Joe Aska, who finished fourth in the 55 meter- dash with a time of 6.31 seconds, was among other Bronchos who placed in their events. The tracksters then went to Lawrence, Kan. for the Jayhawk Invitational. The Bronchos were led by Aska who won the 55 meter dash in 6.23 seconds.

Larabee had another good meet and finished second in the 800meter run and fifth in the mile. Freshman Heather Wilson led the Lady Bronchos with a ninthplace finish in the 400- meter dash.
