Risk, demand down in blood self-donors RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Hospitals and health professionals are urging people to roll up their sleeves and donate a couple of pints of blood for their own surgeries. The procedure eliminates the risk of disease transmission, surgeons say. It also helps reduce demand on the nation's blood supply, which had critical shortages last fall. "Once the blood is donated, it's separated from our normal production facilities," said Laura Cameron, spokeswoman for the Virginia Blood Service in Richmond. The extra handling costs the donor about $25 per unit, she said.
Japanese mobsters suspected in death CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — Detectives say they are investigating whether the stabbing death of a Japanese real estate developer was the work of Japanese mobsters rather than a racial hate crime. Asian crime experts quoted in The Los Angeles Times said the two stab wounds to Yasuo Kato' s heart resembled an execution by the Yakuza, Japanese organized crime. Kato, 49, was slain Sunday in his garage while unloading groceries. Two weeks earlier, he had told authorities that a stranger blaming Japan for the loss of his job came to Kato's door, demanded money and threatened to kill him.
Jobless claims climb second week in row WASHINGTON (AP) — Jobless claims climbed in mid-February for a second straight week as 459,000 Americans made first-time trips to the unemployment office, the government said last week. The Labor Department reported that the seasonally adjusted total for the week ending Feb. 15 represented an increase of 7,000 claim applications from the previous week.

Senator prompts investigation By Pam Thurman Staff Writer
were to be confidential until the final decision was released, Schweizer said. The names of at least five candidates have appeared in Edmond Evening Sun stories during the past few weeks. "The process is confidential and rightly so, you want to have the process as unaffected by other people as possible. . . obviously someone violated the confidentiality," Schweizer said. There are privacy issues involved, he said. People applying may not want their current employers to know. Bart Binning, faculty senate president and advisory committee member, said faculty members are concerned that the leaks may be giving the university a bad image, but that in this case a leak may have been unavoidable. "Whenever you give that much information to that many people, it is inevitable that some of it will get out. We will have to deal with it in a constructive way," he said.
A resolution calling for an investigation of recent leaks identifying some of the University of Central Oklahoma presidential candidates was submitted to a faculty senate committee Feb. 14. Dr. Harald 0. "Otto" Schweizer, assistant professor of sociology and a faculty senator, said his resolution makes an ethical statement. The resolution states, "The UCO faculty senate recommends that the recent unauthorized release of information on the committee's activities to the public media, be vigorously investigated by the Board of Regents" (of Oklahoma Colleges). It also asks that the person, or persons, responsible for the leaks be "subjected to any and all available administrative and legal sanctions," and that their name, or names, be as widely publicized as the confidential information that was released. When asked about Schweizer's resoluWhen the search for a new president be- tion, Binning said, "That resolution is not gan, the regents set up a committee that was before the faculty senate, it is in committee. to report directly back to the regents. The re- It would be inappropriate of me to comment gents indicated screenings of candidates, on a resolution I have not seen the final draft and decisions made about those candidates of."
The Daily Oklahoman, last week, reported an unnamed source said he believed Tem Guild, an advisory committee member and associate business professor, to be the source of the information leaked to the media. Guild, the reporter-historian for the faculty senate, said, "Clearly, I feel that the issue has been blown out of proportion, and the professional thing to do at this point is to not comment further on this, or any other issue until the selection process is completed." Schweizer referred to the unnamed source saying, "A belief is not a fact. That's irresponsible, it's the same kind of gabbing that caused the problem. If someone can't give their name, I question the validity of the statement." "I don't believe in character assasination. I put this resolution in to, hopefully, spur someone into action to find out where the leak came from, and to take appropriate action," he said. "I don't know who the person is who leaked the information. It may be someone on the committee that is not on the faculty senate. See Leak, back page

The King returns to haunt mail
S
oon, postal patrons will be able to lick a hunk-a hunk-a burnin' love. Elvis Aaron Presley ("The King" to his friends) is being honored with modern-day sainthood. The U.S. Postal Service is giving customers the chance to vote on whether they want to see the "good" Elvis or the "bad" Elvis on a forth-coming commemorative stamp. What King-ly course will be taken? Will it be Elvis in his early, stone-cold fox days, or "The King" in his polyester wearin', karate-kickin', lyric-forgettin', peanut butter and banana sandwich eatin' years? Whichever pose is chosen, it's way past time to honor "The King." Elvis was a boozed-out, overweight hound dog when he died in 1977. But who cares? After all, the sheer vastness of his legend is almost impossible to understand. Besides being a great singer, good dancer, cheesy actor and one liquid-like lounge lizard, he was cool. And a man who can epitomize cool the way the King did and still be able to sell commemorative plates should have been recognized for his contributions to society long ago. In a time when people are worried about the economy and the lack of candidates for the upcoming presidential election, what could be more fun and, yes, trivial, than deciding what portrayal of Elvis will grace a 29 cent stamp. Citizens will render unto "The King" his due. And everyone will have a bit of Elvis to "return to sender."
Leaks protect free speech ecently a furor was raised by some members of the faculty senate concerning leaks to the media. It seems someone on the UCO presidential selection committee exercised his first amendment right to free speech and actually had the courage to let the people know what they should have been told in the first place. By keeping the names of presidential candidates from the public, the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges are practicing gestapo tactics and hiding behind a wall of secrecy. The regents' rational that the names should not be published because it could hurt the potential candidates in their current employment simply does not hold water. Although students and faculty members can't vote for a new UCO president they should have a voice, and the selection process should take place in the open, not in a smoke filled room.

Condom correspondence ometimes in life; you come across something so senseless and absurd that you have to read it twice to make sure you read it right. Well, baby, I read your letter twice and then once again to make sure you are as clueless as you appear to be. I have two things to say to your sorry and pathetic self: Numero Uno is that condoms are not being distributed on campus so your dorm can become "a haven where homosexuals are encouraged to become roommates and engage in safe sodomy." Since you have obviously been living under a rock for the past decade, I have a clue for you: homosexuals are not the only people who can get AIDS. There are plenty of heterosexuals with the disease (does Magic ring a bell, sweetie?) And I love the way you
S
insinuate that no resident has sex with their partners during 1 p.m. and 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and between 1 p.m. and 1 a.m. on weekends. Just because you can't get a date doesn't mean that no one else can. Numero Dos: You assume that every student on campus is a resident. Whassup with your logic? Only 10 percent of students choose to reside in the dorms. Because 24-hour dorm visitation will never be a reality, you say that condoms shouldn't be available. First of all, this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I think you are trying to say you don't condone homosexuality (which shows your closemindedness and stupidity) and if condoms were available, homosexual acts would be more rampant in the dorms. You are
very, very sad. I mean, if two boys wanted to have sexual relations and couldn't get condoms on campus, do you think they'd say "Well, we better not do anything since the school isn't giving out condoms"? Nope. They'd be heading down to the 7-11 to buy a box of Trojans. And the same goes for heterosexual couples. The student health center is offering a very valuable public service by handing out condoms and the last thing we need is misinformed, brainless individuals such as yourself griping about it. Do yourself a favor: Check out a book about AIDS and read it. Then go pick up some condoms, stick one over your face and shut up. Julie Taylor UCO student

Pageant necessary for heritage nce again there is ignorant animosity towards the Miss Black UCO pageant. Every year, there is someone who voices their complaint against the pageant. Given that it is every citizen's right in the United States to voice their opinions, I will also voice my opinion on the subject. The African-American race has already been stripped of their heritage and history by America. What little history and heritage most of us know about ourselves is mostly negatively biased and

false. We as African-Americans deserve to be recognized frequently as a separate entity, in order to maintain some type of identity in this country and university. We must have some means to identify our race and our culture. Apparently, Mr. Watson has not given much thought to the fact of how greatly African-Americans are outnumbered in this university and country. He apparently does not realize that we do not want to be "whitewashed" by the majority, but we need to maintain some type of identity of our race and
culture. Miss Black UCO is one of the means of achieving this goal. If we were not allowed to stage our own pageant, many of our young African-American women would be overlooked by the "official school pageant." There have been African-American women who have won the "official pageant," but the odds never change. I believe Dr. King and Rosa Parks would agree that we must keep a sense of identity.

Virginity isn't the worst thing in life Pageant criticized by student / 'm a virgin, I'm a virgin, I'm a virgin, I'm a virgin. Are you freaked out yet? If not, you are very unlike most of the people I've encountered in my 20 years on this planet. Not that I go around telling everybody and their dog about my sexual status or anything, but when it does come up, most people are like "Yeah, right — whatever." But I have never had sex, done the wild thing, made love, done the mommy and daddy dance or hid the salami. For real. The main reason I have kept my legs crosssed for over 7,300 days is because I have never really been in love. I have liked many fellows a whole heck of a lot, but never quite enough to wanna share something that monumental with 'em. And since most of the boys got ditched because they couldn't deal with not getting horizontal, I am very happy I refrained. The whole "No Sex Until Marriage" thang played a large part in my decision in my mid-teens. Being comfortable with my body and what I do with it is the main issue for me now. If someone doesn't feel comfortable having sexual en-
counters before marriage, then I don't think they should. When my happy and excited and in love feelings overpower my nervous and scared and is-this-the-right-guyand-place-and-time feelings, I will be ready to be sexually active. That just hasn't happened yet. The last thing that has made me "Just Say No" more times than Nancy Reagan is the whole AIDS/ STDs (sexually transmitted disease) issue. Just like practically everyone else, I am scared of disease and pain and tears and death. Sometimes my life is just like the "Beverly Hills 90210" condom episode; all pros and cons and statistics and explanations and tired speeches about morality. It's depressing. Sex is a very pretty and beautiful thing. I hope when I feel comfortable enough with a boy, it is free and trusting and lovely and right. But, until I am ready, I will just go on being a 20-year-old virgin for a little while longer — because it isn't such a bad thing to be. —Julie Taylor

"1 think he should. He sort of represents the American dream. I like both pictures."
"Yes, I think he should. I thought he made an important contribution to rock and roll. I like the younger picture."
ear! Hear! It's about time somebody notices the bizarre goings-on in the United States. I'm referring to the letter by Jim Watson in the Vista ("Violation of King's dream") on Feb. 27. What did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fight for? I believe it was to break the bars of segregation so that those being discriminated against could live like everybody else. His dream was to one day see all races live together in harmony, with no segregation. Black people of his time and before fought for equal rights for blacks. But has his dream been fulfilled? Do we see all races in this country blending in harmony? I'm sorry, but you're wrong! The answer is, NO!! What do you mean, you ask—this is America, discrimination is against the law,
isn't it? Well, let me know if I'm wrong, but these are some of the things I see as discrimination: 1. The Black Student Association—the BLACK in the name discriminates from anyone who is not of that race. If tomorrow an organization called the White Students Association was formed, there would be an uproar! 2. The Miss Black UCO pageant—from the name of this, a student who is asian, white or any other race would not feel comfortable taking part. Can you imagine if an Indian student took part and won? She'd be going around telling people she's the Miss Black UCO—But you're not BLACK!! Why can't we have just one student organization which will represent all students of all races and ethnic backgrounds?
Why can't we have just one UCO pageant in which all races can take part? It seems as though it is OK for black people to segregate themselves nowadays, but will lead to punishment if white people do. To me it seems like a double standard!! I know by now everybody reading this letter is sure that I'm a white person. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm an international student. I have lived in three different hemispheres of the world before coming here to go to college, and to tell you the truth, I'm pretty disappointed with the segregation I see. I thought minorities try to break the bars of segregation, not build more!!! —Shemal Medawattage UCO senior
Brown best candidate for job agree with the letter you printed last week about former California Gov. Jerry Brown, and it seems a fair percentage of the state of Maine does too, as Brown nearly defeated front runner Paul Tsongas in the democratic caucuses there Sunday night. Brown appealled to the disaffected voters of that state, the people who are dissatisfied with the political system and are tired of being manipulated. I've been following the campaigns rather closely, because I believe this is the most important election year of our lives, and I have a few points I think my fellow UCO students might find interesting: First, concerning the other democratic candidates, Senators Kerry and Harkin both voted themselves pay increases and accept large sums of Political Action Committee money. Clinton has accepted $2.5 million in PAC contributions, including money from the tobacco lobby and Tsongas still favors using nuclear energy, an energy source so ineffecient that there is still no effective method for the control and cleanup of even the smallest leaks, let alone a major life-threatening core meltdown.

Second, Bush has proven he is not the "education president." He is not the "enviorment president," nor is he the "health care" president, and he is definitely not "economy-fixing" president. He reneged on the very promise that got him elected, and since has only provided lip service to the public's interests while pandering to big money special interest groups, many of which he owns stock in (oil companies, etc.) He says he wants to "send a message that is upbeat and positive," which really means he wants to sit up there in his ivory tower with a plastic smile on his face yelling "everything is fine" while the world crumbles down around him. Well, we don't need that sort of "up with people" phony optimism now. What we need is someone who is ready to face the unpleasant truth with us. Third, Brown's career speaks for itself. As governor of California he balances seven budgets. He created two million jobs. He promoted energy alternatives, recycling and mass transit long before doing so became fashionable.
He refused all pay raises that he was offered as governor (perhaps this is why the Republicans refer to him as Gov. Moonbeam.) He refused a limousine and the Governor's mansion, opting instead to drive his own Plymouth and stay at his own $250 a month apartment, because he did not want to waste taxpayers money on the perks of political office. His campaign speeches stress the fact that the system is corrupt, and therefore is not working, an issue none of the other candidates seem willing to address. Brown accepts no corporate campaign contributions, only $100 or less contributions from individuals. For these reasons I also feel Brown is the strongest candidate. Because he's taking no PAC money, however his campaign lives or dies on the backs of all of us, so we all have to spread the word. I urge my fellow UCO students to think long and hard about this election, no matter who they wind up voting for on March 10th. Let's not be the first generation of Ameicans that does not give its children a better life than we had. —Mark Lewellen UCO English Education Major

one hand and various drugs, (both legal and illegal), on the other. No doubt Mr. Ball realizes that indulging in sex does not (often unfortunately) require a condom. Conversely, one cannot use alcohol without alcohol, cigarettes without cigarettes or heroin with heroin. Surely Mr. Ball doesn't know of a college that provides "free drugs." Many provide free condoms.

Epidemic plagues Padre CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — College students corning to the beach for spring break should include measles shots in their planning, health officials say. Since January, 191 measles cases have been confirmed, with 26 suspected cases pending confirmation, according to the Christi-Nueces County Public Health Department. "The most vigorous measles outbreak in the U.S. is, in fact., occurring in Corpus Christi," said Dr. William Atkinson, head of measles surveillance for the federal Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta. "It's an honor for which we're not honored to have," said Wes Hodgeson, an immunization division coordinator with the Texas Department of Health in Austin. "We're getting case reports every day. . .about five or 10 a day in the Corpus Christi area." Hodgeson said Texas and other state health departments will begin targeting the 150,000 students expected to descend on South Texas for spring break. Hodgeson said there may be little cause for concern among visiting students because many colleges require students to provide proof of immunization for admission. "We're not preparing to immunize any student who comes to Corpus Christi, but we recommend they be immunized two -weeks before arriving because it takes that long for the vaccine to take effect," said Annette Sultemeier, director of nursing at the County Public Health Department. Health officials in Corpus Christi said about 6,000 children and adults have been vaccinated at measles clinics and schools since Friday. But there is little hope the virus will be contained, Atkinson said. The virus began among Corpus Christi pre-schoolers and has been spread throughout the community, Atkinson said. Health officials said they expect the virus to subside by July or August, although similar outbreaks in Chicago and New York have lasted for more than a year, Atkinson said. V

Consumers may face longer wait for clear labels WASHINGTON (AP) — If you are anxiously awaiting the day when every packaged food in the grocery store has a nutrition label that you can understand and mist, prepare to wait longer. Food manufacturers want to extend by at least a year the May 1993 deadline for federally standardized labels, and the Food and Drug Administration has the wiggle room to grant the request.
Department, which regulates all food containing meat, is not bound to any deadline by the new labeling law. The extension is one of many changes food makers and consumer groups are seeking in the government's labeling proposals as the public comment period closed Friday.
The government has until November to read all the responses and publish final rules that will for the first time set specified definitions for descriptive words like "low" and "light," and standardize nutrition information.

Does TV influence you? By Sam Powell Staff Writer The "boob tube" has influenced the way Americans see themselves for more than 40 years, and many psychologists say that influence is far from positive. A task force appointed by the 108,000-member American Psychology Association said in a report last week that commercial television does not portray children, the elderly, minorities and women as they really are. Instead, television is fixated on appealing to young and affluent Americans, those with enough money to buy sponsor's products, the report said. Dr. Robert Doan of the University of Central Oklahoma psychology department agreed that the media is motivated by money, but said television does accurately represent Americans. "I would say television does portray them as they really are but not as they should be," he said. Hollywood operates wider a system of patriarchy, or maledominated society, Doan said. On television men are seen as being superior to women in many ways. They win most of the time and, usually, own all the property. "Patriachy can be seen even in the marriage ceremony," he said. "Nobody gives the groom away, met," the report said. The report acknowledged, however, that many researchers still can't agree on TV's impact. Some see it as trivial, innocuous and irrelevant. Others argue that television affects how people think and causes a passive, intellectually lazy approach to dealing with the world.
The report's authors said the most needed change is to increase non-commercial sources of funding to break television's dependency on commercials. Doan said television's seeming lack of social conscience comes from maintaining a money-first philosophy. "It is basically the bottom line," he said. "This whole country was founded on survival of the fittest, and does it make money?" "It's not isolated from the dominant story of our culture, which is called free interprise," Doan said. Recapping the findings of years of research, the APA task force report said: • The "model female on TV" is not like women. On television, she is "beautiful, dependent, helpless, passive, concerned with interpersonal relations, warm and valued for her appearance more than for her capabilities and competencies." • Constant portrayals of of sexual violence "lead to increased acceptance of rape and can instigate and the bride comes with a dowry. On television the female is what patriachy says she is." Doan also said he feels increasing violence in today's society is the result of male-dominated society, because the patriarcal hero is a warrior. Problems arise when society attempts to create warriors, and then teach them to be nonviolent. Doan said according to story teller, Michael Mead, in old cultures a man had to learn to dance and write poetry before he could carry a sword. Today, young American warriors operate without a system of responsibility, he said. Further-
more warriors who have shown responsibility and chosen not to go to war have been jailed. "I think with gangs there are bands of young men running around looking for male mentorship and trying to learn to be men and doing a lousy job," Doan said. "I think TV has been a portrayer of those patriarcal roles." The APA panel's report also said a major flaw in American broadcasting is that commercial television must generate revenue through programming that attracts large, heterogeneous, affluent audiences which do not represent the majority of viewers. "So long as the primary goal of programming is to lure audiences to advertisements, the needs of many ethnic minorities will not be anti-social values and behavior." • The average child watches three hours a day and witnesses 8,000 murders and 100,000 other acts of violence by seventh grade. • Violent incidents occur five or six times an hour on prime time and 20 to 25 times an hour on children's Saturday morning programs. • While blacks are now appearing in more major and positive roles on TV, ethnic minorities are "virtually absent" from the screen. Those who appear are stereotyped as criminals, dangerous characters or victims of violence. • Most "implied sexual activity" on television involves unmarried couples "with little emotional attachment or commitment to one another."

First minority fair a success By Penny Owen Staff Writer Employers loaned University of Central Oklahoma minority students an attentive ear Thursday during what was hailed as a successful first annual Minority Career Fair. The fair was open to all students, but focused on minority opportunities, said Multicultural Services Coordinator James Noley, who has been planning the event for two years. "Minority graduates have to be twice as good as their caucasian counterparts," Noley said. "I think you'll find statistically that there is greater unemployment among them. But I think this is a good start in the right direction." Altogether, 21 companies ranging from health care and government to pizza and retail screened curious UCO students for future job openings.
Some companies said their clientele dictates more need for minorities. For instance, C.R. Anthony's needs more minority retail managers to work in high-minority towns, such as Rio Grande, Texas. "If it is a black area that our store is in, we want to be sure we have black workers there," said Anthony's representative Donna Loudermilk, "so our customers will feel comfortable." The health care industry also responds to a need for more minorities. Some hospitals' clientele is 80 percent Hispanic, which requires Spanish-speaking employees, said Baptist Medical Center representative Janet Crehan. "We're trying to integrate the minorities into these professions because they're so viable," said Crehan, who stressed the overall high demand for nurses and "allied" health care workers, such as
physical therapists and pharmacists. Pizza Hut had stopped using career fairs to tap future managers, but this year started recruiting again. "We should never have stopped," said Pizza Hut representative Larry Acklin. "We've found some excellent managers this way." During a luncheon prior to the fair, Miss UCO Sonya Carter and UCO funeral service major Terry White spoke about the importance of recognizing minorities. Carter said more minorities are finishing their educations, which shows employers their sense of commitment. "It shows to companies that they have discipline and perserverance to go after their dreams and stick with them," Carter said. "It reminds me of who I am," White said. "I don't get arrogant that way." V

Matmen grapple with history, vie for ninth crown By Justin Harper Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's top-ranked wrestling team will try to add another chapter to its already storied history when it vies for its first ever NCAA II national championship Friday and Saturday in Greely,Colo. The Bronchos have won eight previous national championships in NAIA. Astoundingly, UCO has won or fmished second in the last eight national tournaments. The nine wrestlers who qualified for nationals were Randy Zenner at 118 (32-15-0); Travis Moman 126 (33-13-0); Ryan Martin 134 (30-9-1); Todd Drake 142 (35-11-0); Chance Skidgel 150 (29-16-1); Keith Cunningham 158 (39-9-0); Howard Moore 167 (20-2-3); Brooks Levonitis 177 (17-15-0) and Wayne Cole 190 (40-7-0). Zellner, Drake, Moore and Cole are all returning AllAmericans. "The thing I told our kids was I hope we can wrestle hungry and not defensive," said coach David James. "We have nothing to defend; we're trying to go get something and I think our guys have wrestled like that. V

UCO prof to retire in May
Dr. Kearns eyes goal By Angela Mitchell
Student Writer
By Roger Groce
Staff Writer Going for the gold will soon take on a whole new meaning for Tom Ford, an assistant professor of computer science at the University of Central Oklahoma. After retiring this semester, Ford plans to pursue his on-going career as a marathon runner and motorcycle rider and grandfather, he said. This year Ford has run in nine different races from five to 25K, taking first place in his age group in four of them, he said. Now at 51, the tall, thin athlete has been running for the past 12 years since some friends first introduced him to the sport, he said. Ford came to UCO in 1969 as one of two original computer science department members. The other left after the first year, he said. Even with the recent revolution in computer technology, Ford said the most significant advancements have been the intellectual inventions like "structured programming" and "object-oriented programming." Although he is not sure whether he is going to teach again or go back into the programming industry, Ford said he plans to take it easy for a while, he said. "I'm ready for a break. . seady for something different," he said. Admittedly excited about a change, he still expressed positive feelings about UCO students and faculty. "I'll miss some of my fellow faculty members," Ford said. "There are some pretty nice students here, pretty nice people to deal with." Ford, who has long enjoyed motorcycling, said he might get another road bike and ride across the country. Between marathons, motorcycles and grandchildren, Ford said he is in for an active, if not more busy, retirement. V

Muslims worship at mosque By Michele Soh
Student Writer The Masjid Al-Salam, the first mosque in Edmond, held an open house, Feb. 22. The Muslim Student Association at the University of Central Oklahoma and the Islamic Society of Edmond, Inc. organized the open house and said the event attracted about 300 people. The mosque is located at 525 N. University Drive. Dr. Riaz Ahmad, a UCO biology professor, said the open house was an opportunity for people from the UCO area, the City of Edmond and Oklahoma City to visit the mosque and learn about Islam. Ahmad is one of five people on the Board of Trustees for the Edmond Mosque. Ahmad, who is also the MSA sponsor and the Pakistan Students Association sponsor, said construction on the mosque began in March 1991. The first Friday congregational prayers in the mosque were held Feb. 7. The mosque will also be a daily meeting place for the members of MSA to pray, study and participate in other activities, said Ahmad. He said funds for the construction and maintenance of the mosque come from donations from Muslims in Edmond and Oklahoma City. According to Ahmad, before the mosque was built, the UCO Y Chapel was used for Muslim worship services. Gene Hellstem, who teaches history and humanities at UCO, said the mosque is a good thing for the hundreds of young Muslim students at UCO. Shahbiz Hassan, a graduate student and PSA president, said he hopes that other people will also get actively involved in the activities at the mosque and with the associations. A journalism freshman from Singapore, Norbini Mohammad, visited the mosque during its open house. She said since she is a Muslim, she is glad the mosque is so near UCO. At the mosque, other Moslems could teach and guide her in her faith and she would not feel lonely during religious festivals, said Mohammed. The followers of Islam are Muslims. They believe in God as the creator of everything. Their holy book is the Koran (Quran) revealed to the prophet Mohammad by Allah (God). Like Christians, Muslims accept the Old Testament and the Gospel, but they believe that Jesus is only a prophet like Moses and Abraham. V

KBLZ offers area exclusive format By Tami Watson
Student Writer KBLZ, 93.7 FM, Edmond's progressive rock radio station, is located on the University of Central Oklahoma campus. KBLZ is a cable radio station managed by UCO journalism and oral communication students. "Our main mission is to train the students," said Don White,
KBLZ program director. White said the advantages of being a cable radio station far outweigh the disadvantages. Although the station has relatively low listenership, it is not accountable to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the students do not have to have a
license to work at the station. White said the station plays more than progressive music. The music often ranges from one man singing and playing an acoustic guitar, to heavy metal. White said the station also avoids the additional costs of transmitters and towers.
"Basically, we play anything that we get in that isn't getting a fair shake or isn't getting played, that we think deserves to be played," said White. White said many bands make it big through college radio stations, and that KBLZ would like to play more from local bands. V
