Three proposals became bills in the Feb. 20 meeting of the Student Government Association.

The first bill proposes every building, except for the University Center to have a designated smoking entrance.

A meeting will be held between the College Caucus and the university administrators to determine which entrance of each building will be designated.

"Instead of having every entrance where smokers can use, we're limiting it to one entrance," said Ben Harris, SGA president.

This way, people who walk through

the entrances won't be affected by the smoke, said Harris.

The smoking area would probably be the least used entrance in the building, but it will have to be discussed with the administration before becoming a UCO policy, said Harris.

Another bill establishing the addition of an American flag, an Oklahoma flag, the UCO flag and the pictures of President Bill Clinton, Governor Frank Keating and UCO President George Nigh to the student senate chambers was also passed.

The last resolution offered to extend the hours of Wantland Hall and turn it into a Student Activity Center.

Metered lot to close tomorrow, temporary lot to open Some faculty, staff, visitors and students may have to hike a bit further this week due to the scheduled closing of the metered parking lot north of the Lillard Administration Building.

Due to construction, the lot will be

closed for approximately 30 days beginning tomorrow, stated a report from Nick Widener, executive coordinator of special projects.

To cushion the parking loss, a temporary lot will be opened at the corner of

Ayers and University Drive, the report stated.

Faculty, staff and visitors of Old North, Lillard Administration Building, Max Chambers Library and Evans Hall are encouraged to used this lot.

Otherwise in the UCO master plan, the completion of the Central Plant project is scheduled for August 1995.

Widener said he will continue to provide construction updates as new events occur.

Career placement office 'practically begs' students for resumes

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Although the number of companies coming to UCO to recruit staff has increased, the career development and placement office has to "practically beg" students to sign up for job interviews, said Kathryn Gage, director of the department.

"We have deadlines today for six or seven companies that are coming to campus later on this month to do interviews and we don't have enough resumes on file," she said.

The placement office is placing students in Fortune 200 companies in and out of state, she said.

Gage said she runs advertisements in The Vista and posts the interview schedule all over campus.

"Another thing that bothers me is there is a perception on campus that a student has to have a 4.0 grade average to find a job through the placement office," Gage said.

That is not so.

Students, not paper, to blame for OU vandalism NIGGAZ. This phrase, which stands for Never Ignorant. Getting Goals Accomplished Zestfully, was used by guest columnist Marco Columbus in the University of Oklahoma (OU) newspaper, The Oklahoma Daily. Even though it is a positive way to use an often negative word, this "word" could have started a riot.

The column, written by an African student. denounced the "injustice ." put upon his race, citing: "America. by definition, means prison...We've waited long enough. Real NIGGAZ want more.

America should consider this: Reparation for the black man!"

NIGGAZ, used in context, is acceptable. The acronym was defined several times in the column. It was not used in hatred or in a racist manner.

It still, indirectly, resulted in a somewhat unjustified public outcry. A letter to the editor was run in a following issue that used the NIGGAZ acronym—without defining how it had been previously used, thereby turning the word into what some believed to be a caustic, racist comment.

Out of context, the phrase incited students into threats of a riot, and over 3,400 copies of the campus paper were stolen.

The response also resulted in an African American student's car being spray-painted with the letters - KKK, - and a noose. The vandalism was estimated at a cost of over S800. The vandalism was also unnecessary.

A mistake—along with students that did not research or even attempt to find out why the phrase was used in the letter—resulted in a melee of unjustified hatred.

The Oklahoma Daily is to be commended for opening its "mouth" to print the concerns of the - other" voices on campus. Not every news publication has the confidence to do so. The Daily does not "lack racial sensitivity," as one reader of the Daily wrote.

It is the student body as a whole that will not accept other people's points of view. Not the paper. The paper simply presents facts (or in this case, opinion) . and the public responds to it. It is a forum of discussion and thought. Whether the paper made a mistake or not, it was the student(s) that stole, desecrated and reacted with hatred and contempt. Part of belonging to a university is learning to get along on a higher level. This is not occurring. (And we all hope that the African American community would NEVER become as racist as the KKK is. Hopefully it was not African American(s) that cornmitted these acts.)

For anyone (students or press) to try and stifle another point of view for any reason, it could, ultimately, be considered a racist act.

We, as students, are not ignorant.

In higher academia, it is absolutely inexcusable to behave as if we are. Stop and think.

Reader argues 'sexist' language claim

C

ome on. Does anyone really associate the word "freshman" with males only?

The word has transcended the gender specification. It has mutated into a word with no sex attached.

Choosing the word "fresh-

man" is also a bit misguided. If we have to change "freshman" to "freshperson," does this mean we have to change "women" and "females" to "wo-persons" and "fe-people"?

I just want to understand the thinking. Maybe we are a little out of focus, and we need to

direct our anger to things that need it, instead of displacing it.

I agree with changing some of the language. I believe "mankind" ought to be "humankind," but not "hu-being kind."

—Robert Cotton UCO student

Letter defending First Amendment argued

T

he letter from Dr. Terry Clark of 2/21 is certainly to be applauded for its defense of the first amendment. There is, however, a serious flaw in its reasoning which cannot go unchallenged.

Its flaw is to regard opinion and fact in the same light.

The First Amendment is not a shield to spread blatant falsehoods. The "veracity" of the holocaust is not open for debate. It happened! There is no debating this fact. How this tragic episode is interpreted can, and should be, the subject of debate—but not its reality.

It is the responsibility of those of us who cherish the truth to denounce those who seek to deny it.

It is important to remember that with free speech comes a responsibility—to speak the truth!

—Dr. Louis Furmanski Political Science department

U.S. budget woes fixed by 'mom and sis'?

T

he budget battles in our congress haven't changed...special interest groups, members' pork projects, etc.

Let me offer a suggestion: A coalition of housewives to manage the federal budget.

I personally know two housewives who have done nothing short of miracles with their household budgets—my mother and my sister. Both have three children, limited resources, large expenses and have managed to always stay one step ahead of the creditors, bill collectors and (I

hope) the tax man. I have the greatest respect for both, they continue to do a wonderful job.

Our congress should take note. These fine ladies put incredible food on the table, paid the bills, saved money for education, kept a family together and worked some long, hard, stressful hours at home, an eight-plus hour a day job.

This only covers a small portion of the gratitude I have for both...maybe congress needs round two of "Throw the Burns Out" (that chance will come in Nov. '96).

Business as usual must come to an end.

The American people want change, they want less government, and they want congress and our leaders to face the same music we do as citizens if laws are broken.

So, shape up ladies and gentlemen, we are watching and keeping score for '96. So, make a difference, or move over for someone who can.

By the way...thanks mom and sis. I'm darn proud of you both.

Elliot will speak about the legal issues involved in protecting your home and family with a firearm, said Mason Goode, vicepresident of Delta Tau Chi. The seminar is open to the public, Goode said.

"A lot of people are living away from their families when they're away at college. . . we want to show them how to protect themselves, not necessarily with a firearm," said Goode.

A multicultural career fair featuring over 50 companies and colleges will be held from 1 to 4 p.m.

March 1 at the University Center Ballroom.

Barry Lofton, coordinator of UCO's multicultural student services, said he was expecting at least 500 students to attend the event.

"The representatives will talk about career opportunities, job openings, internships, summer jobs and graduate programs," he said.

Lofton said his advice to stu-

dents would be to bring along their resumes and to "dress appropriately."

"Men should come in a tie and jacket (while) women should wear business suits," he said.

UCO's multicultural student services, co-sponsor of the event, caters to the needs of Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, African Americans and Native Americans.

"But we offer assistance to nonminority and international students as well," said Lofton.

SCEC donates time, 'packages' to children

By Leslie Wakulich Student Writer

UCO's Student Council for Exceptional Children (SCEC) continually donates their time for those with disabilities.

Faculty sponsor Karen McGrath said, "We want to play a positive role in the lives of as many special needs children as our time and funds will allow."

Earlier this month, members collected items from various businesses to use in care packages for foster youth.

The care packages are distributed by Citizens Caring for Children (CCC), in Edmond.

CCC volunteer director Diana Harboldt said that the money and goods donated by SCEC helps foster children in college and vocational schools.

"Some of the students are physically disabled and many have learning disabilities because of physical or emotional neglect," said Harboldt.

All of the students in their program at CCC are from DHS, she said.

With the help of student donations, CCC pays for students' allowances and things that the state doesn't provide, said Harboldt.

Committee formed by educators to `ease transfers' between schools

By Iris Knight

Staff Writer UCO faculty joined professors from 24 other Oklahoma public colleges and universities at the regular meeting of the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education Feb. 21.

The college educators formed a committee to review freshman and sophomore general education and business courses in an effort to ease transfers between schools.

"The committees' work is important because students want to be certain they will get credit for completed course work if they transfer to another college or university," said Chancellor Hans Brisch from the Regents.

The committee will also scrutinize the eontent and skill level of the English, humanities, mathematics, physical sciences, psychology, social sciences, biological science, fine arts and business courses.

"The committee will establish minimum standards to be taught in each course," said Brisch.

The committee is expected to complete their work this summer.

The UCO professors involved in the study are Dr. Sandra Mayfield, Dr. Stephen Law, Dr. Donald Boyce, Dr. Darry Carlstone, Dr. Michael Knight, Dr. James Baker, Dr. Randall Jones, Dr. Terry Harrison, Dr. Karen Carter and Dr. Ann Gleason.

UCO walks away with 3 medals, 2 `Addys' in annual Ad Club awards

By Elizabeth Hew

Staff Writer The staff and students of the Communications and Publications Office (CPO) at UCO and several other graphic design majors won five medals, including two gold Addys during the Oklahoma City Advertising Club's 29th Annual Addy Awards Feb. 11 at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center.

In the "Public Service: Local Campaign" category, CPO won the Addy for its Salute to the 45th Campaign, which was co-sponsored by the Edmond Evening Sun. "This campaign was a total group effort, and everyone in the office should be commended," said Linda Jones, communications and publications director.

"Although we were unable to officially recognize each team member at the ceremony, we should all take pride in the fact that we competed with the professional advertising agencies and won."

In the "Public Service: Outdoor" category, Zhi Qin Zhang, a UCO student and CPO student designer, won the Addy with his entry Chinese Art Exhibit, which was designed for the Donna Nigh Gallery as an invitation to the event.

"I am especially proud of Zhang," said Jones.

"A student winning in one of the professional categories is truly a testimonial to his talent and abilities."

CPO won a silver in the "Brochure: 4-Color or more" category.

The director of art and design was Scott Horton, with the photography provided by Dan Smith, UCO director of photographic services. Jones also worked as copywriter with UCO alumni Jeff Conkin.

The UCO Clocktower Studio also won a silver for their Computer Central Logo and a bronze for Big Brother and Big Sisters Logo in the "Student: Corporate Logo/Symbol" category.

The winners were UCO graphic design majors David Moore from Del City, Jeremy Disbrow from Guthrie and Russel Benson from Oklahoma City.

The winners of the Addy award will go on to compete in the district level and will continue to compete nationally if they win.

"We had two district winners in the past, which is a major accomplishment, considering our district includes such major advertising markets as Dallas, Austin and Houston, said Jones.

Painting the dirt Ford Co. to join Vietnam's market

One professor 'finds' unique painting style,

HANOI. Vietnam (AP) — Ford Motor Co. joined:the rush into Vietnam's tiny automobile market, signing a S102 - million deal to assemble cars and trucks.

If approved by Vietnamese authorities. the agreement would make Ford the first U.S. autormiker to invest in the country since Washington lifted its l9-year economic embargo a year ago. Ford also would become the biggest U.S. investor in Vietnam.

The joint-venture with the state-run Song Coni:,, Diesel Co. is to assemble vehicles from imported kits at a plant to be built 35 miles east of Hanoi.

Ford would hold a 75 percent share in the venture. with staterun Song Cong owning the rest.

Industry analysts say Vietnamese bought no more than 4.000 new vehicles in 1994. and some investors wonder whether Vietnam's backward economy can support all the foreign interest.

Vaccine approved for Hepatitis A WASHINGTON (AP) — There's good news for travelers, soldiers and others at risk for the serious symptoms of hepatitis A: There's now a vaccine to prevent the liver virus.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the vaccine. called Havrix. Americans should be able to buy it within a few weeks. said manufacturer SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals.

Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection that hits between 100,000 and 150.000 Americans a year. Typical symptoms are flu-like: including diarrhea. vomiting and occasionally jaundice. These symptoms can last a month. Unlike its more severe cousins. hepatitis A doesn't cause chronic infection and only 1 percent of patients suffer life-threatening complications.

The Vaccine will (give long-term protection. ch said A study of 19.000 children in hepatitis-plagued Thailand found Havrix was at least 84 percent effective in preventing hepatitis A, the FDA said.

`Space junk' could cause problems NEW YORK (AP) — Clouds of junk orbiting the Earth are made of radioactive debris leaking from dead, nuclearpowered Russian spy satellites, The New York Times reported.

Experts say the atomic debris offers no danger to humans but could damage working satellites and force engineers to add more shielding to new spacecraft.

The episode shows the dangers posed by dead satellites, shattered rocket stages and millions of other bits of manmade debris that speed around the Earth.

What's leaking from the nuclear reactors is a radioactive and highly corrosive coolant, a mixture of sodium and potassium in liquid metal form, but the danger is the speed at which the drops are traveling.

The clouds threaten to wreak havoc in the most crowded orbit, roughly 600 miles up, which is packed with satellites for navigation, surveillance, weather tracking and observation of the Earth's natural resources.

`Harsh' deserts aid studies of Mars TAYLOR VALLEY, Antarctica (AP) — Antarctica's dry valleys are the coldest, most brutal deserts on Earth, yet even at the limits of survivability, there is life.

Conditions in the Taylor Valley and the other dry valleys are so relentlessly harsh that they are more Mars-like than any other place on Earth — which is why NASA is co-funding research into the living rocks there.

Imre Friedmann, a biologist and now director of the Polar Desert Research Center at Florida State University in Tallahassee, felt that if similar organisms could be found in Antarctica's dry valleys, they would be the sort of life form NASA should be looking for on Mars, an equally hostile environment.

Scientists believe conditions on Earth and Mars were similar some 3.5 billion to 3.8 billion years ago; then Mars became colder, drier and apparently sterile. If there was Martian life, it probably never evolved beyond micro-organisms, and then died out.

forms 3-D art technique now taught at UCO

By Kelley Beard Student Writer Thousands of people look at Oklahoma dirt everyday, but to one UCO professor, during the orange glow of a sunrise, it was the spark of a new invention.

Bob Palmer, assistant professor of visual art and design, created an art form known as "wrinkle painting. When Palmer was an undergraduate, he worked during the summer at an oil field drilling company.

One evening he was asked to spray paint a drilling rig that was laying on the ground.

The next morning he noticed the baby blue paint had drifted onto a field nearby and onto red dirt clods that were on the ground.

The combination of the paint, the red dirt and the field gave Palmer the idea of dimensional painting.

"I developed the current wrinkle painting technique here at UCO," he said.

"You paint on crumpled material. When it's restretched, the wrinkles and folds seem to remain, creating a wonderful illusion of depth," he said.

Palmer has demonstrated the painting throughout the state of Oklahoma and displays and sells his work every year at the Arts Festival.

The speed of this project works well for public demonstrations and is always a crowd pleaser, he said.

Palmer teaches this art form to his students and also received a faculty research

Bob Palmer with his wrinkle art. (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith) grant to produce a video.

Saturday was Senior Night for the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team in more ways than one.

First, UCO's senior trio of Junie Sanders, Zoderick Green and Ed King were honored before their final regular-season home game. Then, they showed it truly was their night by leading the Bronchos to a 136-98 rout of Tarleton State.

Green set a school record with 17 assists, Sanders pumped in a team-high 26 points and King grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds as UCO won for the 11th time in 12 games.

Green, a 6-0 guard from Duncanville, Texas, dished out eight assists in the first eight minutes to spark the Bronchos to a 31-16 lead over the Texans.

With 2:56 remaining in the second half, he tied the assists record of 15 in spectacular fashion on a heave from mid-court to Sanders for an alley-oop slam dunk.

Green's new record breaks the old mark shared by David Foote and Kevin Pierce.

"It was a lot of fun at the end.

Coach was getting mad at me because I kept shooting layups.

He wanted me to pass it off so I could get the record," said Green, who also scored 23 points.

Sanders, a 6-3 forward from Brooklyn, N.Y., led the Bronchos in scoring for the 12th time this season as he hit a variety of turn-around jumpers, driving layups and rim-rattling dunks while also snagging nine rebounds.

"Zoderick and Junie are guys I like to talk about together," said UCO coach Jim Seward.

"Obviously they've both scored a lot of points, but Junie with his rebounding and Zoderick with his assists have meant so much to our team."

King, a 6-3 guard from Chicago, scored 10 points and had three assists to go along with his rebounding performance.

"He's a winner and he's assumed a role as a team player," said Seward. "He's done everything we've asked him to do for us—pass, rebound, play defense and score—so he's been a big factor in our success."

While it was the seniors' night, UCO's juniors certainly had their moments as well.

Guards Jason Ervin and Scott Sanders each nailed four threepointers and center Al Segova scored 14 points and had 11 rebounds.

Ervin scored 24 points in only 20 minutes of action. In a span of less than three minutes in the first half, he scored 15 points on three treys and three layups as the Bronchos took a 31-16 lead.

Besides his outside shooting,

Scott Sanders ended the Bronchos' offensive blitz with a thundering slam at the buzzer.

Forward Tyshon Fisher was the seventh Broncho to score in double figures, hitting five of 12 shots for 13 points.

The Bronchos led 59-45 at the half and then steadily built their advantage in the second.

"I was really happy with our effort overall. Our defensive intensity was lacking at times, though," said Seward. "Part of that is because Tarleton surprised us by playing an uptempo game. They normally don't do that and I think it might've thrown us off a little bit."

The victory improved UCO's record to 19-6 before Monday night's game in Lawton against Cameron.

TSU ends their season at 1114.

Taylor sets record as UCO nips Tarleton State, 64-62

By Rachel Schnitler Sports Writer The Lady Bronchos' April Taylor broke the school and Lone Star Conference record for three-pointers made in a single season during UCO's 64-62 win over Tarleton State Saturday.

In the last home game of the year, UCO racked up an 18-6 lead by the 11:37 mark.

After a few missed freethrows, Taylor hit the recordbreaking trey to push the Lady Bronchos' lead to 14.

"I feel great. I taught her everything she knows," UCO graduate assistant and former record holder Shawn Williams said jokingly. "If it's going to be broken by somebody I'd rather it to be broken by somebody on our team."

The game was stopped and Taylor was awarded the game ball for her efforts.

"I couldn't have done it without my teammates, though, all their passes and support," said Taylor.

The TexAnns used the break to regroup and went on a 17-2 roll to take the lead 28-27. TSU led 32-29 at halftime.

and half, the TexAnns had pulled in front by five, 50-45.

55 seconds later, the Lady Bronchos again tied the game on a Bogges trey.

Two key free-throws were made by Mandy Carlson to stretch the UCO lead to four with 2:50 showing.

TSU sank a jumper to pull to within a pair and held the Lady Bronchos to regain the ball with

six ticks left on the clock.

With one second remaining, Mary Ann Isom put up a threepointer that rimmed out, ensuring the Lady Broncho win.

The Lady Bronchos bid farewell to six seniors before the game. Saying goodbye are: Bogges, Taylor, Joy Dugan, Tammie Barker, Regina Rehl, Junae Elsberry and Michelle Williams.

UCO hammers opponents in 4-0 start

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer UCO 19, Indianapolis 10 At least three things remained consistent after Central Oklahoma's game with Indianapolis Sunday afternoon at UCO: The Bronchos stayed unbeaten, Indianapolis remained winless, and the Broncho bats stayed hot with double-digit scoring for the fourth straight game.

The Bronchos used a 12-run fourth inning to blast the greyhounds 19-10 and push their record to 4-0 on the year with a seven inning victory.

Indianapolis drops to 0-4.

UCO pounded Greyhound pitching for 14 hits, seven in that decisive fourth inning. Starting pitcher Bryan Schuler picked up the loss for Indianapolis, giving up nine hits, nine runs, walking one and striking out two before being relieved halfway through the bottom of the fourth.

Justin Bernard (1-0) earned the win for UCO going five innings while giving up five hits, three runs and striking out five.

UCO was never in trouble after the third inning when the Bronchos scored four runs in the bottom of the third to break a 33 tie.

UCO increased their lead in the bottom of the fourth when Eddie Jeffcoat blasted a solo home run to left field followed

by David Flick's shot to right center giving UCO a 9-3 lead with one out.

Seven runs and a new pitcher later, Ryan Melton nailed a three-run shot to right center, giving the Bronchos a commanding 19-3 advantage after four innings.

The Bronchos kept Indianapolis at three runs until the top of the seventh when the Greyhounds erupted for 10 against UCO's substitutes.

Broncho catcher Ryan Melton blasts a solo home run in the second inning of UCO's seasonopening 20-3 win over Washbburn on Friday. (Staff Photo by John Gilmore) Indianapolis proved to be a match for the Bronchos. But strong defense and Broncho consistency at the plate prevailed for a 12-4 UCO win at home.

The Bronchos (3-0) led 5-4 going into the top of the fourth.

But as the Broncho bats kept getting hotter, the offense of Indianapolis fizzled as the Greyhounds posted zeroes on the scoreboard for the final four innings.

Broncho starting pitcher John Dollins (1-0) allowed four runs on six hits in five innings in picking up the win. Reliever Martin Andler finished up, allowing just one hit.

"I wanted to go with Dollins for as long as I could to see what he's got," said UCO Head Coach Wendell Simmons. "He got up around 100 pitches for us today.

"When it's early in the season you don't want to keep a guy in there too long, though. I kept Dollins in there because he's new to our team and I wanted to see what he can do.

"Andler is in control of his pitches and knows the strike zone. He can start for us or he

can relieve for us," said Simmons.

Indianapolis hitters did not reach second base for the final four innings.

The Bronchos however, had little offensive trouble, rapping 10 hits off Greyhound pitching.

Designated hitter Rodney Foster led the Bronchos with a threefor-four effort at the plate with three hits (a single, double and a triple) and two RBIs. UCO 10, Washburn 7 Having maybe learned a thing or two from a 20-3 drubbing the day before, Washburn returned to UCO Saturday and gave the Bronchos a much tougher battle before falling 10-7 to complete the two-game series.

The Bronchos (2-0) collected 11 hits and broke a 7-7 tie in the bottom of the sixth when Eddie Jeffcoat blasted a two-run home run followed by David Flick's solo shot to give UCO the seveninning victory.

Brian Nichols (1-0) relieved Perkins in the first and picked up the win for UCO by giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and striking out three. Chad Tredway relieved Nichols for the final two innings and picked up the save.

"It's early in the year and our starting pitcher (Perkins) is a little tight," said UCO Head Coach Wendell Simmons. "It's his first time on the hill and his stuff wasn't working today. Nichols came in and did a good job."

UCO rallied in the bottom of the first to pull within one at 5-4 but remained behind until the bottom of the third when Russell Cowan's triple to right field scored Shane Smith from first to tie the game at six.

last year's record-setting 39-14 squad, the Bronchos used a 10run eruption in the first inning and some strong pitching by Greg Hall to win their seasonopener.

The Bronchos fell behind early when Tavis Desormiers blasted a two-run to put the Ichabods up 2-0 in the top of the first.

Ichabod pitching suffered in the bottom of the first however, as hurler Scott Dial walked four of the first five UCO batters (one hit by a pitch) and threw three wild pitches that resulted in three runs for the Bronchos giving them a 3-2 lead. Dial was replaced by Chad Jury as UCO added two more runs to their lead before Eddie Jeffcoat belted a grand slam directly over the center field wall to give UCO its 10-2 advantage.

Jeffcoat led the Broncho attack with a three-for-three effort at the plate with two hits and five RBIs. "That game was kind of a fluke deal," said UCO Head Coach Wendell Simmons of the Bronchos 20-3 win. "Washburn is a good team, maybe a top 30 squad. Their pitcher (Dial) just wasn't in a zone and couldn't throw strikes."

"I was really pleased with our players for not chasing all those wild pitches. Last year we would have been swinging at that stuff. But this year, we're a little bit more mature and experienced," said Simmons.

The Bronchos added runs in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh innings while keeping the Ichabod bats cooled until the top of the ninth when they added a run.

Hall (1-0) picked up the win for UCO, going six innings and allowing two runs off six hits while walking three and striking out three.

Dial picked up the loss, allowing five runs, one hit and three walks in less than an inning pitched.

The Central Oklahoma women's basketball team dropped their third Lone Star Conference game in a row Thursday, 77-63 at Texas Woman's University.

The Pioneers racked up a seven point lead by the end of the first half, 44-37.

In the second, UCO dropped another seven points behind, ending the game 14 back.

The Lady Bronchos were hampered in the second half by foul trouble as two players fouled out and two more had four fouls apiece.

UCO hit a mere 31 percent from the field as their shooting woes continued.

Poor outside shooting also hurt the Lady Bronchos, as they hit just five of 26 from threepoint range.

Senior guard April Taylor hit all five treys in leading the Lady Bronchos with 21 points and five rebounds.

The Lady Bronchos' duo of freshman forwards teamed up for 22 points as Christy Heavin sank 12 points and Mandy Carlson bucketed 10.

The Pioneers were led by Kim Woolridge's 18.

The loss dropped the Lady Bronchos to 6-8 in conference play and 8-16 overall before Saturday night's win over Tarleton State.

Annual Medieval Fair at OU scheduled April 7-9 For the past 19 years. spring at the University of Oklahoma (OU) has offered craftsmen, performers and those curious about medieval times a chance to travel back in time.

This year the OU Medieval Fair will take place April 7 - 9. and UCO will be represented by members of the recently formed UCO Medieval Society.

The society is planning to set up a booth, with various presentations like chain-mail armor construction, sword sharpening and other historically documented activities and events, said Noel Carney. seneschal of the Medieval Society.

The fair offers the UCO Medieval Society an opportunity to raise funds. said Carney.

There will be costumes available for fair-goers to borrow and have their picture taken in, for a small fee, she said.

"We will all be in costume.

It's a requirement that we set on ourselves, and all the costumes have to be documented," said Carney.

Seminar scheduled to help educators avoid contact with blood-borne infections

By Colin Martin

Student Writer People dealing with children in education are at high risk of being exposed to infected blood, said Karen Killackey, coordinator of school nurses for Edmond Public Schools.

The UCO Student Council for Exceptional Children (SCEC) is hosting a seminar with Killackey speaking about general awareness of bloodborne pathogens, or diseasecausing micro-organisms, at 4 p.m. March 9 in the Will Rogers room of the University Center.

"Studies have found that Hepatitis B and HIV are the two most dangerous infections in blood. So OSHA (Oklahoma State Health Administration) has

established very detailed guidelines on how to handle blood spill or contact with other people's blood," Killackey said.

"One must always assume the blood is infected with disease.

Until everyone takes these precautions, we will continue to have unnecessary mishaps with infected blood in the workplace," said Killackey.

Gay Washington, UCO special education instructor and faculty sponsor for the SCEC, said legislation was passed last year to train public school teachers to handle student health incidents.

"We want our students here at UCO to be knowledgeable of the new regulations," said Washington.

OKLAHOMA BRIEFS Five Small Earthquakes Reported in Garvin County LEONARD, Okla. (AP) — A series of small earthquakes struck near Oklahoma's most active fault line, the Oklahoma Geological Survey said.

Parts of Garvin County felt the quakes' vibrations Thursday morning.

The largest of the five quakes had a magnitude of 2.5. which released only a fraction of the energy of the Jan. 18 earthquake that measured 4.2.

The first quake was reported at 9:23 a.m.. and the last one hit at 11:29 a.m.. said James Lawson, head of the Geological Survey.

Lawson said only a few people reported feeling the temblor.

Garvin County. located about 40 miles southeast of Oklahoma City. has had more earthquakes than any other county in Oklahoma since 1977. ,"?)

Insurance Commission Revokes License of Insurance Agent OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Insurance Commission has taken away the license of a Tulsa insurance agent after he allegedly failed to fund IRA accounts his clients purchased. Commissioner John Crawford made the announcement Thursday regarding Ebi F. Ehre.

Crawford alleged that Ehre, a Northern Life Insurance Co. representative, convinced a Tulsa couple to rollover more than 547,000 held in Individual Retirement Accounts into IRA annuities he was selling through Northern Life.

Wiley Sparkman died Thursday after a long illness. He was 89.

He is survived by two daughters, two sons, 10 grandchildren and six grandchildren.

New Orleans merchants willing to give up Mardi Gras for Lent?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — In the 10 years he's been in the French Quarter, Earl Bernhardt has seen it all at Mardi Gras. Now lie's seeing too much of it — and wants some of it covered up.

"We're not prudes," said Bernhardt, co-owner of three night clubs and a restaurant. "It's just that now people are committing acts in the street that heretofore you had to rent an X-rated video to see.

son that begins Jan. 6 and builds to an orgy of self-indulgent excess with Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday"—the last day before Lent (which is today).

This year, the Bourbon Street Merchants Association posted Mardi Gras guidelines on their balconies and in their clubs. Baring breasts is still OK under the guidelines, but "nudity below the waist, public sex acts, grabbing or groping people or public urination" are not.

SGA continued from front page Currently, students do not have access to the hall as a student activity center. Therefore, to compete with other universities, alternative recreation facilities should be open to students during all times, the resolution stated.

"We're proposing mainly to extend the hours and this will mean hiring more staff to watch the gym," said Harris.

It will be more convenient for students who want to use the gym in the evening after classes.

This will also be more beneficial to residents on campus, said Harris.

The final resolution by the SGA suggested Wantland Hall be opened for weightlifting from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and the basketball court be available from 2:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. every Monday through Friday. On Saturdays and Sundays, the hall would be open for both weightlifting and basketball from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 1 to 10 p.m. respectively.

JOBS continued from front page "I won't pretend that employers don't hold a GPA in high regard. They are often looking for the cream of the crop, however, I never hear from an employer 'GPA is my only criteria."'

Companies tell Gage that if a student has worked their way through school and been involved in campus activities, even with a 2.75 GPA, he or she has as good a chance of a job as anybody else.

Gage said she has also been told that many students at UCO feel they may not have a chance of a job with a large cooperation because of competition from The University of Oklahoma (OU) and Oklahoma State University (OSU).

"They (students) tell me, 'why would a company bother to come to UCO when they (the company) can recruit at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University?'

The placement office is telling the business community in Oklahoma that UCO has a great faculty and student body.

"I am not going to put down other universities, but I have had companies tell me 'We have been to other universities in the state and your students were the best."

"Our professors are committed to teaching. We emphasize instruction, and our students graduate with great content knowledge. We can compete with anybody out there who is looking for a job," she said.

`Give me a break,' says new governor OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Gov. Frank Keating says legislators should cut him some slack in the budget process and come up with specifics of their own on where reductions in state spend ing can be made.

"Give me a break, I've only been here a month," Keating said Thursday in response to a senator's attack on the governor's budget.

Sen. Kelly Haney, DSeminole, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, blasted Keating's budget as "vague and out of balance" and called on the governor to give specifics on where he would cut higher education and other areas.

"The governor has talked about things like eliminating programs or even closing colleges," Haney said. "You just can't make statements like that without offering some specifics.

"If that's what Gov. Keating really wants, he needs to tell us which programs he wants to eliminate and which colleges he wants to close."

Keating said legislators, regents for higher education and others know more than he did at this point about where cuts should be made and should come up with specifics.

Keating's budget, released earher this month, called for $55 million in spending cuts to be accomplished mainly by an across-theboard 2.5 percent reduction in the budgets for higher education and most state agencies.

On a related subject, he said the fact that revenue figures had been reduced by $30 million by the state Equalization Board was no reason for him to abandon his proposal to cut taxes by $137 million.

If anything, he said, the revenue drop points out the need for

The governor has talked about things like eliminating programs or even closing colleges. You just can't make statements like that without offering some specifics.

—Sen. Kelley Haney Chairman of the Oklahoma Senate Appropriations Committee tax cuts that will "grow the economy."

Returning to the budget controversy, Keating said he will be providing leadership on specific cuts after his government reform commission returns its report later this year.

On other subjects at a wideranging news conference, Keating: Plugged hard for a right-towork law, saying he still wants a vote on the issue in the House and Senate. He repeated assertions that absence of a right-to-work law is a big reason Oklahoma is falling behind surrounding states in recruiting manufacturing jobs.

Defended his effort to furnish the Governor's Mansion

from private donations, saying one of his critics "must be a member of the Flat Earth Society."

Announced that Ed Cook, former Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce director, is his choice for tourism director.

Keating said it was "amusing" that lawmakers were criticizing his budget since "this is the crowd that brought us all the way to the seventh poorest state in the nation."

He said his budget was "a call to arms to grow" and that if legislators do not like his tax-cut plans, they should provide alternatives and "let's debate that."

Keating did say he was pleased that many of his programs had survived this week's deadline for action in House and Senate committees.

House Speaker Glen Johnson, D-Okemah, told a news conference Thursday that House committees had approved some 18 major bills in Keating's agenda.

Two key parts of Keating's tax plan were killed in House committees, however. One bill would have cut taxes on the pensions of wealthier retirees and the other eliminated the corporate franchise tax.

Johnson said Keating should recognize that he is "not the only person elected in this state to decide public policy. He should forget about campaigning."

Johnson also said he anticipates an effort will be made on the floor to pass a right-to-work plan as an amendment to other legislation.

Keating stopped short of saying he would support an initiative petition for a right-to-work law.

Keating said he did not consider it particularly significant that House Democrats who voted

against right-to-work in committee had received donations from labor unions. He said organizations normally donate money to people who support their programs.

Keating was asked about reports of financial problems at the state Insurance Fund. He repeated his position that there needs to be "an immediate house cleaning" at the agency, including replacing the commissioner.

He added, however, that he unfortunately does not have control over the board that oversees the fund.

MUSIC REVIEWS Music provided courtesy of Randy's M&M's, 400 S. Bryant in Edmond —Reviews By John Clanton/ The Vista Music Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: TAZ TAZ TAZ Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.

Dragons deliver 'foot tapping rock and roll' The Soup Dragon's Hydrophonic is far and away the best album of the year.

Rating: T^z The listener won't play spotthe-influence with The Soup Dragons, instead he'll play spot how many bands use The Soup Dragons as an influence.

Soup Dragons play a wide variety of music ranging from hummable. foot tapping rock n' roll to funk to a soulful Motown sound.

The variety goes beyond song-to-song differences.

During some tracks. the styles change drastically within the song.

Soup Dragons even use record scratching in a semi-rap type song entitled All Messed Up." "Mother Rinker, - a seven

minute song. is graced by the presence of Boots), Collins, the legendary funk bassist of Parliament and Funkadelic.

The guitarist of the Soup Dragons plays some great guitar lines. He doesn't play with an inyour-face style. Most of the guitar lines are subtle and quiet, but listeners who listen carefully to Guitar lines will get a kick out of The Soup Dragons.

The Soup Dragons play an addictive, loose style of music that hooks the listener.

Why are enrollment numbers dropping?

It seems it's not so cool to stay in school—at least not at UCO. Last spring, 15,537 students were enrolled at UCO. This spring, that figure is down by 3.5 percent to 14,980.

Jerry Legere, assistant vice president of enrollment, gave his views on the following questions.

Why do you think enrollment is down?

Muses beats Belly, Hole & 'MN over-hype' Throwing Muses is the light at the end of the tunnel for women led rock bands.

Rating:

Originally formed years ago, one member left the band to join Belly.

Judging the differences between Belly and Muses, she would have been better off staying with Muses.

Recently reformed, this threemember band plays a plethora of great original music on their newest CD University.

One of the greatest things about Throwing Muses is that there is finally a singer who doesn't sound

like she's trying to imitate somebody.

Throwinc,, Muses' lyrics aren't mindless or boring like some bands (i.e.

Cranberries. Hole, etc.)

The lyrics on this CD are original and come from the mind of lead vocalist Kristin Hersh.

The different styles of songs on University show off the abilities of the different members of the band.

Throwing Muses seem to be living in the shadow of such senselessly over-hyped MTV phenomenon such as Veruca Salt or Hole.

Throwing Muses show that

Throwing Muses

University they have much more talent and experience than the before mentioned bands, and should soon work their way out of the shadows.

Sons of famous musicians are 'rock solid' Bloodline, so named because all of the members, save one, are the sons of famous musicians, play a tight and clean style of rock n' roll.

Rating:

Bloodline's self-titled debut plays loud, in-your-face grooves that more often than not feature some terrific bass and guitar solos.

Fender bending guitarists Waylon Krieger and Smokin' Joe Bonamassa do an outstanding job during the entire CD.

Bonamassa's solos are precise, clean and interesting enough to keep the audience's attention.

Vocals and lead bass are covered by Berry Oakley Jr. Oakley's singing isn't bad and is recognizable when heard. But, given a choice, his bass playing is much more enjoyable than his singing.

Bloodlines melodious grooves, and especially the bass lines sound like a combination between Morphine, The Spin

Bloodline

Bloodline Doctors and the late, great Mother Love Bone.

I think it is a combination of things. One thing could be that the construction makes it venient for students to take classes.

Also, some class numbers have been cut in size. In the past, courses were allowed to exceed the allotted number of students per class. This time, enrollment was held strongly to class size. If the only class a student needed was full, they likely had to wait until the next semester.

The College of Education is going to come up for accreditation next year. Because of concerns, they have had to reduce some of their class sizes.

"Enrollment is actually up from spring 1993. I think last spring's enrollment was unusually high," said Kathryn Gage, director of placement at the Career Development and Placement Services Office at UCO. A difference of about 1,000 students usually exists between fall and spring.

"In the fall of 1993, we had 15,900 students, in the spring of 1994 we had 15,537. This was less than a 400 student difference.

I recently heard that since David Boren's elec' tion as president of The University of Oklahoma (OU), enrollment is up by 2.5 percent. Do you think that last year's increase in enrollment was because former Governor Nigh became president?

"I think he has championed the idea that this is a good place to learn, and has encouraged the institution to grow.

"Generally, people don't attend because of who's president of a university, they come because of the quality of the academic program, the quality of the faculty teaching the courses, affordability and whether they think the campus environment is something that they would like to go to school for, " Legere said.

"I don't think that any major individual has any xp impact."
