WORLD WRAP Clinton, Yeltsin set April meeting
By Tim Linville Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — President Clinton's decision to put a U.S.Ru ssian summit on a fast track reflec is an assessment that Boris Yeltsin urgently needs help among his political foes. Clinton and Yeltsin arranged Thursday to meet April 4 in a oneday summit designed to bolster Yeltsin and to emphasize U.S. support for "the cause of reform in Russia." The meeting will be held in a third country, still to be selected. Clinton had planned to meet. with Yeltsin later in the year, but after grim reports that Yeltsin was in danger of losing power, Clinton aides urged immediate attention.
FDA eyes deal on abortion pill WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration is working with a French company on plans to license and manufacture the controversial "abortion pill" RU-486 in the United States, an FDA spokesman said last week. The company previously has declined to seek U.S. approval, partly due to opposition from anti-abortion groups.
Clinton may seek tobacco tax hike WASHINGTON — President Clinton suggested he may propose higher taxes on tobacco and other products that pose a health risk to help pay for his national health insurance plan. "You do have to find some way to recover some revenues" to extend health insurance to the 37 million Americans who don't have it, he said. White House officials said Hillary Rodham Clinton' s task force on health care reform also is considering—although without much enthusiasm—a proposal to tax workers' health benefits as income. Clinton indicated his administration would look beyond the tax increases proposed for his economic program to finance his health-insurance program.

A special task committee formed by the University of Central Oklahoma's Student Senate is investigating the conduct of the Student Senate's election committee and candidates in the recent vice presidential election. Several formal grievances were filed by disgruntled students concerning the operation, conduct, management and maintenance of the election and those involved, said Joe D. Barclay, chair of the special task committee. "From what I understand, there wasn't a faculty representative present at all times," Barclay said . Barclay said other grievances had been filed, but the task committee had to review them before they could be released. "We're investigating from the time the election committee started until the end of the elections. We've got to determine if there were infractions by the election committee or the candidates," Barclay said. The task committee is made up of students who were not involved in the elections, Barclay said. "They didn't sit on the polls, they didn't run and they're not on the election committee," he said. "This investigation is of a sensitive nature and we will really appreciate the help of the students. Anyone with information can contact me through the Student Government Association at Ext. 3337," said Barclay. "They told me I won, but I put too many fliers up. I'm not really sure why this happened," said Bobby Stem, one of the candidates. "I haven't been advised of the election results," said Jodi Waddle, another candidate.
Greeks to hold volleyball fund-raiser By Jennifer Stipe Student Writer
What do pledges, volleyball, Kappa Sigma's and Alpha Gamma Delta's all have in common? If the guess is a fundraiser, then the ball is bouncing. The Kappa Sigma Fraternity and Alpha Gamma Delta sorority are teaming up for a volleyballathon that will be from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 7 at the Kappa Sigma house, 700 N. Chowning. The two groups are accepting pledges for each hour they play or donations for any amount, said Amita Peterson, Alpha Gamma Delta philanthropy chairman. This is the first time the two groups have joined together for a volleyball fund-raiser, said Ron Ragland, Kappa Sigma fund-raiser chairman. "We had an idea to do something as a group so it would be more fun," Ragland said.

UCO professors say wait and see regarding President Clintons's economic plan. Clinton's plan on energy could affect Oklahoma.
Since they will be playing against one another, the money each house raises will stay within that house. The Kappa Sigma's are raising money for a scholarship fund to be given to the undergraduate with the best grades, while the Alpha Gamma Delta's are raising money for improvements to their house. Anyone interested in pledging or donating to the Kappa Sigma's should contact Ragland at Ext. 4630. To pledge or donate to Alpha Gamma Delta, contact Peterson at 348-4710.

Future dorms under master plan are not co-ed Who would have thought that an issue such as men and women students at the University of Central Oklahoma living under the same roof would create such fury among male and female resident students? Under the proposed master plan, Thatcher Hall will be changed to a multi-use building. It is currently used as a men's dorm and for faculty offices. The guys in Thatcher will be moved to East Hall and West Hall , however opposite sexes will not be on the same floors. The issue prompted phone calls to The Vista with disgruntled people, mostly female, at the other end of the line saying they're not happy with the whole thing. On the other hand some students didn't care and others liked the idea. Men and women choosing to live in the dorms will be divided up by floors. The same sexes will not be on the same floor. So students should stand at ease. If that's not possible, write a letter to the administration voicing your concerns and contact your Student Government Association representative.
Watch where you park, respect the law A recent incident with a University of Central Oklahoma student with disabilities created a feeling that a reminder should be sent on a fact of life that shouldn't have been forgotten. A vehicle, driven by a disabled student with a visible disability decal, was parked in a marked and posted disabled space. The individual uses a lift and ramp to enter and exit the vehiclewhich requires several feet between another vehicle. This person was parked near Mitchell Hall Theater last week when some discourteous driver parked illegally next to his vehicle blocking the lift and ramp. The individual, freezing all the while, flagged down a passerby to move the customized vehicle to allow room for the lift and ramp. Finally, the individual, numb and late to an appointment, was able to leave. Remember that it's illegal to park in a disabled space without a decal. It's alarming to hear such a story. Where has common courtesy and obeying the law gone? In the future, watch where you park.

Communications important factor at UCO s vice president of the
A
presidents' club here on the University of Central Oklahoma campus, I am constantly encouraging organization presidents to communicate with each other. To be a strong university, the various components of the student body must work together; otherwise, we become a large body of individual parts, with no one limb knowing what the other limbs are doing. This presents confusion and disunity, and is detrimental to the well-being of the university as a whole. One way we strive to accomplish the goal of unity is through the presidents' club, where all university organizational presidents are invited to share and discuss upcoming events, past successes, and generally encourage each other. One of the key methods of communicating with the general student body in the past has been through articles and announcements in The Vista, advertised as being "The Student Voice Since 1903." Forms are filled out in advance for the section "Around Campus," and supposedly, clubs are encouraged to submit articles or request one of your reporters to do a story about an organization Editor's note: The Vista agrees that communication is essential for a united campus. However, it is not possible for The Vista to bare the total communication burden. Resources prohibit such a responsibility. The Vista relies on student reporters, as well as a staff of five part-time reporters. Four of which work only 10 hours a week. Student reporters
or event. This year, fall and spring semesters, there has been a big problem with getting anything printed. One president came to me and said when she asked at The Vista office why their upcoming meeting wasn't announced, she was told that there were too many activities to print them all, so only a few were selected for publication. My question is who is in charge of the selection process? What criteria are used in determining what is important enough to print? What good does it do to submit things "for the students" if the person making that decision isn't interested in it so he/she omits it anyway? Another incident that concerns me in a more direct way is the public relations person for Tiara's submitted information about that organization well in advance of the cutoff date for applications for membership on Feb. 3. We needed to let students know what the organization is so they could be well-informed and make a decision to apply or not. She was assured there was plenty of time and an article would be printed. Our president was called to get more information, and all was going
work to fulfill lab requirements for their news reporting classes. They work according to their own availability. The reason for the AP stories you were referring to was caused by a lack of copy. This lack of copy is often times a problem at The Vista. However, with more than 90 clubs and organizations on campus it is difficult to cover every event that
well. An article appeared however, only after the deadline. What good did that do any interested people? Other presidents have shared similar incidents. Now, when I suggest to organizational leaders that they use The Vista, more and more are snickering or asking if I am serious. In the Feb. 16 edition of The Vista, there are sizable articles about the U.N. embargo on Iraq, a couple in Los Angeles donating parts of a lung to their child, and gospel singer Sandi Patti revealing she was abused as a child. These are interesting articles, but I wonder what local university news was omitted to allow the space for these newsworthy events that we could have read about in any city newspaper? Or if there is a shortage of paper that says another page cannot be printed? I suggest fellow campus leaders that are experiencing these problems call the editor-in-chief, Allen Norbury, and make your complaints known to him. That phone number is 341-2980, Ext. 5914.
—Susan Lee UCO student happens with each one. Unfortunately, many times "Around Campus" forms are not submitted within the required one week advanced notice and are not published. The Vista likes to receive requests; however, some demand coverage. In reference to your comment about the possible shortage of paper being the reason additional pages are not printed, advertising dictates the size of the paper.

Multicultural Career Fair draws crowd of 375 UCO students By Paul Brown Student Writer The sounds of students and recruiters exchanging thoughts, resumes and business cards could be heard throughout the University Center's third floor during the Multicultural Career and Job Fair, held Wednesday at the University of Central Oklahoma.

about 375 students with a goal of entering their career field and company recruiters who have ideas about future employers. More than 30 organizations were in attendance, representing companies, graduate colleges and the military. Taco Bueno and Edmond Public Schools showed up at the last minute after hearing about the fair through word of mouth, said Barry Lofton, coordinator of the Multicultural Student Services. The focus of the fair included career opportunities, job openings, internships, summer
jobs and graduate programs. "I thought the career fair went real well," Lofton said. "The attendance was up, considering we had 200 students come by last year." Lofton said the next fair will be expanded. "We will probably need two ballrooms next year, since it did get congested and hot. Some of the companies used huge displays that took up space. We tried to make it as comfortable as possible, but more students came than expected, we will make it bigger next year." Many of the recruiters were

" In fact, I was told by recruiters that some of those students will be contacted. " Steven Kirklin, personnel "His speech hit home with director of State Farm Insurance everybody," Lofton said.

University of Central Oklahoma applied design students and the American Cancer Society (ACS) are joining forces to create invitations for the society's spring gala, "Le Masquerade", to be held May 8 at the Marriott. The class of ten is creating about 1,200 3-D masks that will be mounted on invitations. "Each student makes two to three molds," said Dean Hyde, professor of art at UCO. The molds are made of clay, styrofoam or plaster. The masks will be formed by placing two layers of gauze infused with plaster over the mold. After the gauze has dried, the masks will be cut out and sealed. The next step is to paint the masks. After the paint dries, the final step is to add feathers, sequins and ribbon to the masks. Hyde said no two masks will look alike. Because of the uniqueness of each invitation, it is sure they "won't end up in the trash," said Donna Nigh, co-chairperson for the event. "This is the first time for the applied design class to do anything like this," Hyde said. "If we have a good experience with this project, we might think about doing something similar in the future." Although the ACS is not helping with the construction of the masks, it is providing all the materials needed. "The estimated cost for the materials is $1,20 0$1,600,"Hyde said. The masks will be completed by March 15, he added.

somewhere there's a place for us! End apartheid! Free the... Ahem. Sony. The liberal pen doth oft times overcome the liberal mind. On to more secular ramblings. Eric Clapton accepted the first of six awards with "Tears In Heaven" winning Best Pop Vocal Male. Clapton then went on to garner Song of the Year, Best Rock Vocal Male, Best Rock Song, Album of the Year, and finally Record of the Year. Yeah, BUT WHAT YEAR 9 III I I I It had to be said. "Tears In Heaven" was responsible for most of the awards and is a beautiful and moving tribute to Clapton's deceased son, Conor. But "Layla" is the best rock song of 1993? Sure. And "The Graduate" is the best movie, "The Brady Bunch" the best T.V. show and so on. Come, on people! Clinton WON! It's the Republicans that have to live in the past now. Although I admit I had to force myself to remain glued to CBS thereby missing "90210" (and it was a cool Dylan episode), it was worth all of the technical glitches, inane oneliners about the presenters and that trash bag thing Natalie Cole was wearing to see Billy Ray Cyrus look like a total maxi zoom dweebie and then not win CRAP!! The live performance of his claim to fame was a hoot, too. Backed up by what sounded like Awards back page V
In ceremonies held earlier this week: All the cool people accepted their awards before the telecast and headed off to Spago to await the inevitable afterGrammy's - "words-were exchanged - backstage - by" brouhaha (this year most likely between Billy Ray Cyrus and Travis Tritt, as neither Sinead O'Connor or any members of Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue or Nirvana were available) and to tell Al Gore and oh-no-not-EricClapton-again jokes. The Grammy's have never been accused of pandering to the young or young-at-heart (that's why God created MTV) and this year was no exception. The recipients of this year's awards read like the adult contemporary section located between the New Age and music-with-no-lyricsby-dead-people sections at Camelot.
Column The show began with a Peter Gabriel extravaganza that borrowed so heavily from his MTV video that I expected Kurt Loder or that annoying "Burger King Guy" to pop up any second. With cheesy acrobats and dancers no doubt on loan from "Circus of the Stars," the number lacked only Paula Abdul sashaying with Gene Kelly and the TNN Club Dance country line dancers doing the Achy Breaky. Gary Shandling was the solo emcee for the festivities. Yes, he was charming, witty and quick on his feet. But when I look at Shandling the words "music appreciation" do not immediately leap to mind. He's just not, well, hip! This might not sound like a solid gripe to most, but when you've got the King of Hip living off the proceeds from the garage sale of his hip, southwest talk show set, it just tears your heart out.

Bronchos claim LSC title By Justin Harper Sports Editor After back-to-back coconference championship seasons, Central Oklahoma's basketball squad got greedy. No longer were the Bronchos in a sharing mood, so with a 129-88 romp past Cameron on Saturday and the resulting 10-2 conference record that followed, UCO claimed it's first undisputed Lone Star Conference championship.
was too much for the Aggies to overcome. Cameron is done at 10-16 overall and 4-8 in the LSC. Because UCO is ineligible
for the LSC tournament the Bronchos will not learn their fate until March 7 when the NCAA selection committee meets to pick the tournament field.
In Saturdays game Alex Wright notched his first career triple-double by scoring 29 points, grabbing 13 rebounds and dishing out 10 assists. The senior also recorded seven steals in the contest.

UCO will next be in action in the LSC tournament on 'Vial-eh 4-6 in Abilene, Texas, where they look to repeat as tournament champions. The LSC runner-up will receive a first-round bye in the tournament.
The win gave UCO a 22-5 overall record, which should be good enough to qualify the school for the NCAA II national tournament. It was also the Bronchos fourth-straight victory.

In addition to Flanagan's 19 points, Tammy Cummings popped for 14 points while Bobbl Hardy hit for 12 points as did Kim Martin.

album guy, Walter Ostnek, garnered the coveted Best Polka Grammy. The part I dreaded the most, the obligatory Michael Jackson section of the ceremony, turned out to be the most real, honest and poignant part of the entire evening.

Jackson said he hadn't realized until late that America perceived him as an enigmatic weirdo who looked too much like Diana Ross for mere coincidence. Jackson then pulled sister Janet too him, dispelling once and for all the rumor that they were the same person. (But what about LaToya?!)

So, to sum up: Clapton won big (he should probably rerelease "I Shot The Sheriff" to cash in the remnants of the "Cop Killer" controversy), Billy Ray got zip, rock'n'roll still not kosher, music industry still looking for the "Next Nirvana," Tony Bennett a lot shorter than Natalie Cole.
