Bosnia Professor offers perspective on conflict that won't go away

By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer

To understand the cauldron of hatred and violence in Bosnia-- a difficult task for Americans half a world away-- one must first grasp the significance of a host of cultural, religious, ethnic and historical problems.

This is the advice of Dr. Louis S. Furmanski, assistant professor of political science at the University of Central Oklahoma, who offered his prospective this week on the conflict even as the cease-fire shattered and Serbian shelling once again gripped Sarajevo.

The latest round was in retaliation for the downing of four Serbian light ground attack aircraft by two U.S. F-16 fighters.

The Serbian planes were shot down Monday for violating the NATO controlled nofly-zone over Bosnia Herzegovinia, said British Sky Television Correspondent Aernout Van Lynden.

The Serbian aircraft were said to be on an offensive bombing run into central Bosnia, said Van Lynden.

"The Serbian pilots were given two warnings to turn back or surrender. They did not, and they were shot down," President Bill Clinton said.

"This is the first time since 1949 that NATO has fired shots in an act of aggression," said Van Lynden.

Fighting persists in the Bosnian cities, though the Serbs are still trying to remove heavy artillery from the exclusion zones around Mostar and Sarajevo, said Van Lynden.

There are concerns that the heavy weapons withdrawn from the exclusion zones will be used in other parts of the country, Furmanski.

Snipers and other armed military personnel continue to roam the hills inside the NATO exclusion zones, said Furmanski.

UCO Health Center confirms case of rubella on campus

By Roy Howe

0 Staff Writer One case of the disease rubella was confirmed on campus late last week with others pending, said Susan LaForge, Student Health Center director.

So far, LaForge said, the extent of the disease's presence at the Universi ty of Central Oklahoma is to a group of males in their 20s who, except for the one confirmed case, are awaiting the results of blood tests.

She said students who share a class with the infected person were notified, but others could be vulnerable if they have spent time in a closed area with the infected pupil.

"Righ t now, it's not widespread if we can

keep it to this group of students."

The person who tested positive and those students awaiting blood tests do not live in campus residence halls, LaForge said.

The disease, also known as German measles, requires two weeks to diagnose and carries symptoms which resemble a cold's, she said: "A runny nose, cough, sore throat and a rash that starts at the head or arms and travels to the trunk or the legs."

Although a person can get pneumonia from the disease, most people recover after the cold symptoms, during which treatment can require up to five days of isolation.

"The most danger of rubella is to pregV See RUBELLA, Page 4

n Feb. 28, 1993, 100 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents raided the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in order to arrest the cult's leader, David Koresh . What resulted from the "botched" invasion was a 51-day standoff, a second assault lead by the FBI and eventually the deaths of Koresh, 50 adults and 25 children in the compound and four ATF agents.

One year later, in only a four-day deliberation by the jury, 11 Branch Davidians, all of which were charged with murder and murder conspiracy, were acquitted of murder.

An interview in Parade Magazine with Koresh's attorney Dick DeGuerin shows that many contradictions arise between what was reported by the ATF and what actually was said and done by Koresh.

Could the 51-day standoff have been avoided?

DeGuerin reported to Jeffrey Jamar, the FBI special agent in charge of the Branch Davidian standoff, that Koresh and his followers would leave the compound voluntarily in approximately two weeks. But five days later, "in a secret plan already in the works," the FBI attacked the compound.

After the deaths of the four agents, DeGuerin told Koresh he would be charged with conspiracy to murder. According to DeGuerin, Koresh replied "I don't care who they are. Nobody can charge into my house with my babies around without a gun back in their face. That's the American way, isn't it?"

This is not the David Koresh the media let the public see.

The article in Parade also stated that during the first raid by the ATF, Koresh said, "Wait! Go back. Women and children are in here. Let's talk!" In addition, he wanted to set up a trust fund for the children at the compound in case something happened to him.

Attorney General Janet Reno justified the attack on the compound by saying that a "major reason for authorizing the assault was that she had been informed that children in the compound were being physically and sexually abused."

However, the FBI reportedly backed off, saying it had no "contemporaneous evidence of child abuse" at the compound.

Reno then admitted she "misunderstood" the child abuse situation.

It's one year later, and the severity of the Waco fiasco is forgotten. But after a year, the situation can finally be put in perspective. The public doesn't just see the absurdity of Koresh but can now see that there were two sides to the story. It's not to say neither Koresh nor the ATF were justified in their actions, but a new light is shed, especially with the acquittal of the 11 Branch Davidians.

LETTERS

Student fires back on gun letters

F

irst shot, ouch! Poor Mr. Murshed, still hiding behind your door. Upand-corning gunslinger Mr. Newsom slapping leather and throwing lead my way. Just say no! It's my policy, Mr. Newsom.

First Mr. Murshed, if my letter offended you, please forgive me.

My letter wasn't intended to make fun of or degrade your intellect, manhood or whatever. My point was, if you're going to go around in life in fear, then you should either give up or hide away from society. Mr. Murshed, I live in the same dorm as you do. I was won-

dering, are you an American citizen and do you want to go to Wendy's for lunch? My advice to those students in Tulsa, go to Wendy's, enjoy life. Don't hide like Mr. Murshed. Mr. Murshed, no one said life was going to be easy.

Quick-Draw Newsom knows a lot of information but doesn't know squat about obtaining a weapon. What do you want?

Assaultrifle? Pipebomb? Pistol?

An assault rifle will take about a week to acquire, a pipe bomb will take a few days to make for you, a pistol is same-day delivery, cash

or charge. It's not what you know, Mr. Newsom, but who you know.

Yes, I took great offense in your little flaccid remark about me being on drugs. I don't do, nor do I condone the use of drugs.

Contradict myself, no! What is being said is, favoring of a waiting period, even on shotguns and rifles, but REALITY is the factor in this message. Laws or no laws, weapons will and can be obtained no matter what. Maybe you need to open your door and look out into the real world, Mr. Newsom.

UCO police issue 1993 crime report

By Janet Runge

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Police Department released its end of the year crime report for 1993.

Crime reports totaled 299, compared to 290 in 1992, reflecting only a slight increase, said Li Hayes Forbes of the UCO police.

Violent crime is on the decrease with no homicides, rapes, robberies or aggravated assault charges filed last year, he said.

"Seventy-sixpercent of our time is spent on crime prevention," said Forbes "Some of the things we do in crime prevention include followup investigations, welfare checks and building checks," he said.

Last year over 44,000 miles were logged by police officers either in cars or on mountain bikes.

"We have a high visibility and one- on -one contact with the public, he said.

"We've gone back to some old tactics that work," said Forbes. "I think we're riding a very good trend, and the worst crimes are

declining."

The police department has ex-

nant women," LaForge said.

Those who may have come in contact with someone infected with rubella are probably safe from contracting the disease if they have been vaccinated.

"If you have documentation of having the vaccine at 15 months or prior to kindergarten,"LaForge said, "you have a very small chance of catching this."

The Student Health Center is now giving free vaccinations to students who are interested.

George Nigh, UCO president, and other university administrators met with the UCO health clinic staff and city and state health department officials soon after the confirmed case and secured the vaccination needed to prevent catching rubella.

At-risk groups for receiving the vaccination include pregnant women, those planning a pregnancy and someone running a fever, LaForge said.

The Student Health Center is giving the vaccinations weekdays from 7 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. The center is also open on weekends.

History, geography scholarship to be awarded in honor of UCO professor Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer The History and Geography Emeritus Scholarship will be awarded in honor of University of Central Oklahoma retired professor Russ Goodno and will be funded by donations from the professors in the department.

The professors who are retiring

decided that instead of the other professors taking up collections for typical gifts for them, they would rather be remembered for helping a student receive an education, said Dr. James Baker, chairman of the department of history and geography at UCO. Russ Goodno taught for 29 years and was a professor of history.

Goodno said that the scholarship is a nice gesture and that he is very happy to see sufficient funds available to students.

Nominations by the department have been made and the student who will be awarded the scholarship will be announced in April.

The scholarship will be awarded based on need, achievement and merit.

Tornados are better than earthquakes

By Carol Cole Mills Guest Writer I think I like tornadoes better.

Oklahomans have been comparing our natural disasters with

Column those that have befallen other parts of the nation, and most everyone I've talked to prefers the relative predictability of tornadoes to the across-the-board destruction of earthquakes and hurricanes.

Monday morning, Jan. 17 about 7:30 a.m. Oklahoma time, 5:30 a.m. California time, my phone rang. On the phone was a very shaken (pardon the pun) brother who lives in Los Angeles.

Standing in one of his doorways weathering aftershocks, he called to tell me he was all right—sort of.

His apartment had sustained minor damage, he had no power,

but the phone worked. Most of his news at that time was coming from his family around the nation.

And he thought of me because just the night before he fixed a supper of scrambled eggs and andouille sausage I had given him when I saw him over the holidays.

All these years, and he thinks of me because of andouille sausage.

You know andouille sausage.

The rather hot Cajun sausage that is almost extinct in Oklahoma City except for Pearl's Oyster Bar, a New Orleans style restaurant that continues to flourish because of their terrific food.

I suspect my brother was missing Oklahoma, family and Pearl's a whole lot that Monday morning.

That Monday evening when I stubbornly called until I reached him on about the fifteenth try to get through, he was realizing how lucky he was to only sustain minor losses.

And in the subsequent days, an aftershock caused his major corn711,■•••••■11MI.

plaint.

Never take a shower during aftershocks, he advises.

Nothing like getting all soaped up and then sent tumbling during one of the major aftershocks. The result was a back injury and reinj ury to a knee still tender from a bad fall while snow skiing during the holidays.

He wasn't too happy about that.

Plus his regular physician is out in Sherman Oaks, a locale much closer to the epicenter of the quake and one continuing to suffer much worse aftershocks.

After seeing his doctor and acquiring the requisite knee braces and anti-inflammatories, he decided to purchase a soft drink to enjoy on the return trip. An attractive, fit-looking woman was in front of him in line.

I think Oklahoma looked a whole lot better at that moment.

The University of Central Oklah om a President's Leadership Council elected officers at a meeting held on Feb. 15.

The newly elected officers are Chris Elerick, senior, president; Shannon Davidson, junior, vicepresident; Sarah 011ar, junior, secretary; Angela Hudson, sophomore, treasurer and Ben Harris,

sophomore, historian.

The five incumbents will take over their respective positions in the April meeting, which is usually held in the Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal Arts Buidling.

The President's Leadership Council participates in summer retreats, takes trips, interacts with professors and people of the

community and does all other sorts of things, said Susan Thompson, director of Student Activities and President's Leadership Council advisor.

"It's a prestigious organization on campus," said Thompson.

Class representatives were also elected at the meeting.

Walters says settlement at GM plant is good for state OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — With a strike looming hours away, Gov. David Walters said a negotiated settlement at the Oklahoma City General Motors plant would be in the state's best interest.

"It's a great help to this state to be able to tout our very low work stoppage numbers," Walters said Monday at a meeting of the United Auto Workers Council.

Union leaders at the GM car assembly plant delivered a notice last week of a Wednesday strike deadline as negotiations continue on a new local contract.

Talks have been under way for eight months on a three-year contract for the nearly 4,500 workers at the plant where the Buick

Century and the Cutlass Ciera are produced.

"Although I don't expect there's much we could do, we are certainly prepared to act in any kind of form ar any kind of role that would be helpful," Walters said.

"It is certainly in the best interest of the state of Oklahoma that a good, fair negotiated settlement comes to fruition and so I wish you Godspeed in making that happen."

GM negotiates local issues separately with unions around the country while wages for United Auto Workers members are set in a national contract that has already been finalized.

A master's degree is important.

Artist hides name in new stamps WASHINGTON (AP) — Stamp collectors can get out their magnifying glasses to look for the name Nina hidden on the new stamps due out in April honoring stars of the silent screen.

Artwork for the set of 10 stamps was drawn by New York artist Al Hirschfeld. Since the birth of his daughter in 1945, Hirschfeld has hidden the name Nina one or more times in each of his works.

Normally, he includes a number next to his signature telling viewers how many Ninas are in the drawing. But since stamps don't include the signature of the artist, fans won't have that clue, postal officials pointed out.

The stamps will be released April 27 at the San Francisco International Film Festival, Silent screen artists being honored on the stamps are Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Lon Chaney, Charlie Chaplin. John Gilbert, Buster Keaton, the Keystone Cops, Harold Lloyd, Zasu Pitts and Rudolph Valentino.

Driver blames pot for accident WASHINGTON (AP) — The truck driver responsible for an interstate bridge collapse in Alabama last year probably was using marijuana and fell asleep before his truck crashed into a bridge support, federal investigators say.

The driver, Norbert Gunter, 48, of Milton, Fla., was injured in the May 19, 1993, accident and two people died when their vehicles crashed into the bridge span after it fell across Interstate 65 near Evergreen, Ala. Gunter has not been charged with any drug or traffic violation, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Merritt Birky said at a hearing Monday that every urine and blood sample taken from Gunter in the hours following the accident tested positive for marijuana.

"I would suggest based on my best judgment that he was probably smoking in the truck just before the accident," Birky said.

Another investigator, Mary Eastwood, told the board evidence suggests that Gunter was asleep at the wheel when the accident happened.

Man guilty of murder by AIDS MIAMI (AP) — An HIV-positive man was found guilty of attempted murder for raping a boy, with the jury concluding that his AIDS virus was a lethal weapon. A Dade Circuit Court jury on Monday took less than an hour to convict Ignacio A. Perea Jr., 32. He also was found guilty of kidnapping, lewd and lascivious assault and sexual battery.

It was the first prosecution of an HIV-positive rapist for first-degree attempted murder in the United States, according to Allan H. Terl, an attorney who studies AIDS issues.

"I know there were some people who thought we were criminalizing a disease," Assistant State Attorney Susan Dechovitz said.

"All that we ask is that people act responsibly, be it with a gun or if they have a deadly virus," she said after the verdict.

Woman knew of husband's spying ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Alleged CIA turncoat Aldrich Ames and his wife were paid "well beyond $2.5 million" by Moscow, and she has admitted knowing of her husband's espionage, federal prosecutors say.

In a court filing opposing her motion to be released on bail, prosecutors said evidence seized by the 1 4131 since their arrest a week ago has raised the estimate of "their ill-gotten gains" by more than $1 million above the $1.5 million estimated then.

The government said the additional money was stashed in foreign bank accounts throughout the world, "many beyond the reach of the government in this case," but available to Mrs. Ames "from a home telephone should she be released on bond. – John Russell, a Justice Department spokesman, said Monday that more than one government witness would present "fairly colorful" testimony supporting the government's contention that the Ameses, if allowed out on bail, would be an unacceptable risk to flee the country.

e and my good buddy, Bubba Sue, are in my 15-year-old Mercury cruisin' it up and down the road (I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury).

Bubba Sue is big and beautiful and redneck as hell, and can drink beer or slam dunk shots of Wild Turkey with the best of them.

Anyway, we top a hill and I have to swerve to miss a dead skunk in the middle of the road.

I feel a little sad. Despite their reputation, skunks are good people —nature's garbage collectors, keeping the world free of scraps and excess waste.

The world would be a rotten place indeed, if not for skunks, and I tell Bubba Sue that.

"Yeah, well, all I know is there's one varmint ain't gonna mace nobody no more," she snorts.

I don't answer her, because for some reason what she said makes me think about the little hand-held mace dispenser I gave a friend for Valentine's Day. Actually, it wasn't mace, but pepper gas. It's supposed to stop bears in their tracks, and such — my friend often walks alone at night, and the world is a dangerous path. I wanted to give her something that showed I care.

Survival of fittest fits UCO drivers The snow floated languidly to the earth in big, white curds last Tuesday, frosting the University of Central Oklahoma campus in a fleeting, wet glaze.

That's when things got ugly.

The bad weather didn't seem to

Every day the news is full of fresh reports about people who are raped, robbed, stomped, spit at, set on fire, or run down on the highway, and usually for reasons that don't go much beyond "just because," leaving everybody wanting an answer to "what can we do?"

I don't know what the "big" answer is, but I think the "little" answer is some kind of weapon or fighting skill that will allow us to stay alive until somebody figures out the "big" answer.

"Y'know," I say to Bubba Sue, "it's a sad commentary on the condition of the world when pepper gas is considered an acceptable present to give someone for Valentine's Day. "Where the hell' d that come from," Bubba Sue wants to know.

"I was just thinking about all the skunks in the world."

"Yeah, well there's sure a lot of bad people out there, I reckon," she says.

"I meant the good people. The ones who just want to get across the road."

"Yeah, well, whatever," Bubba Sue says, and pops the top on another Schaeffer's.

Whatever.

keep from bringing out a certain ruthlessness in people as they trolled in their cars for a closer parking spot.

They either will not stop or they will not move when on the hunt for decent parking. They cruise endlessly around the parking lots waiting for a space to open up, circling like sharks on the prowl.

The same strange dance is played out in nicer weather too. It is survival only of the swiftest and craftiest among us as pedestrians aimlessly wander in front of harried drivers, trusting the fact that it is against the law for the drivers to actually run over them.

But no matter if the weather is good or bad, the fact remains that there is no such thing as "good" parking for students at UCO. Students have been griping

about the lack of parking on the UCO campus for years, but that is not altogether true. There has always been parking; there has just never been good parking.

There are places on this campus that are a good 10-minute hike from the place you have to park to the building you need to be in.

Commuters ought to get a P.E. credit for the trip.

I hope that when the renovations called for in the Master Plan come into effect, that the traffic problems here will finally be addressed.

Traffic flow is a cutthroat and unsafe affair for both drivers and pedestrians.

UCO is growing and this parking thing is going to have to be solved in a more satisfactory way than it has been if it is going to continue to grow.

Editor of administration magazine to speak at UCO on government

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer Dr. David Rosenbloom, distinguished professor of public administration at American University and editor of Public Administration Review, will be speaking at the University of Central Oklahoma at 7:30 p.m. March 3 in the Will Rogers Room at the University Center.

Rosenbloom, hosted by the political science department, will

discuss trying to apply practices from other types of organizations to government, said Dr. Stephen Jenks, associate professor of political science.

Health Department warns Oklahomans of hantavirus

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma students should take precautions when dealing with mice and rats because they appear to be the natural host for hantavirus, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health.

The UCO mammalogy course taught in the fall was changed because of the threat of hantavirus.

The students didn't work with any

wild rodents, and they didn't collect any mammals, said Dr. William Caire, the assistant dean of biology.

Hantavirus effects the respiratory system, but there is not a lot known about it, he said.

Hantavirus infection in humans begins with a flu-like illness and results in Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) which can cause death.

No cases of hantavirus infection have been reported in Oklahoma, but there have been cases

reported in surrounding states, the Health Department reported.

People should be careful when disposing rodents and their wastes.

The Health Department recommends never touching or disturbing the rodents or their droppings so that particles of matter may be suspended in air.

People can prevent and control rodents in and around their homes by cleaning up food and dishes, removing pet food and using spring mouse traps, the Health Department stated.

Art students to represent UCO at student art show Fifteen University of Central Oklahoma art students have been selected to represent the university this month, in a showing of student art sponsored by the Individual Artists of Oklahoma Gallery located at French Market Mall, upper level.

UCO at IA0 will feature jewelry, sculpture, photography, printing and graphic designs.

"Every year the non-profit gallery invites a school to show students' top works," said Gael Sloop, curator and UCO adjunct jewelry instructor.

"It is presenting the work to a more widespread audience. Usually students just show on campus, but this exposes them to the whole community,"said David Phelps, adjunct sculpture instructor.

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer The Donna Nigh Gallery will sponsor an exhibit of political memorabilia March 7-31, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, associate professor of visual art and design.

"We'll have everything from bumper stickers to pins," she said.

The exhibit, "Art of Politics," will consist of memorabilia donated by Oklahoma political trivia collectors, she said.

The Oklahoma Mayor's Con-

ference will be held at the University Center March 28, and Oklahoma legislators and mayors will be special guests at a reception from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. March 28 at the gallery.

Nutrition may be linked in 5 of 10 causes of death

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer Five of the 101eading causes of death in Oklahoma may be associated with diet and nutrition, the Oklahoma State Department of Health reported.

Heart disease, strokes and diabetes are some causes of death that can be associated with nutrition, said Carol Walvogel from the Health Department.

"It's important for everyone to eat healthy," she said.

A person should reduce total fat intake to 30 percent or less of

calories per day, and fatty acid intake should be less than 10 percent of calories each day, she said.

The new labeling law that will take effect in May will be helpful in determining a healthy diet because product packages will have nutrition facts printed on them that are more specific about how much fat the person is getting, Walvogel said.

The new food-guide pyramid can also help a person determine a healthy diet. A person should eat 6- 11 servings a day of bread, cereal, rice and pasta, 3-5 servings of vegetables a day, 2-4 servings of fruit, 2-3 servings of milk, yo-

gurt and cheese and 2-3 servings of meat, poultry, fish and eggs, she said.

Fats, oils and sweets should be eaten sparingly, Walvogel added.

A person can improve his diet by eating nutrient-dense foods such as milk and eggs, she said.

"You're getting better quality calories," Walvogel said.

A regular excercise program is also recommended by the Health Department. A person should exercise for 20 minutes at least three times a week. The exercises can be walking, jogging, swimming, bicycling or aerobics. The heart must reach its target zone.

Execptional Children's spring meeting to feature speech from UCO professor

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer Dr. Donna Kearns, a University of Central Oklahoma professor of curriculum and instruction, will be speaking at a session of the Oklahoma Federation of the Council for Exceptional Children's (CEC) spring conference March 3 and 4 in Oklahoma City.

Registration begins at 8 a.m. on March 3, and sessions will take place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The student organization will meet at 11 a.m., said Linda Wolfe, president elect of CEC. UCO students will be attending

the student organization meeting from 11 a.m. to noon March 3, Kearns said.

Publishers will also have exhibits where teachers can learn about new materials, Wolfe said.

The major topic of the conference will be inclusion in regular classrooms and how to modify the curriculum for children with disabilities. Gillet will be conducting a session on inclusion March 4, she said.

Other session topics will be violence, legal issues for special education and autism, she said.

In one session, a speaker will discuss what personality traits are

and what traits certain people have.

The speaker will also discuss how to use this information to improve relationships in the working environment, Wolfe said.

The Maurice T. Walraven award will be given during a luncheon on March 4, she said.

The award is "given in recognition for someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the Federation of the Council for Exceptional Children," Wolfe said.

Kearns and Gay Washington, a UCO instructor of curriculum and instruction, will also be speaking at the national CEC conference in April in Denver, Kearns said.

UCO men, women cagers split with Cameron Bronchos fall in regular season finale

Lady Bronchos prevail 81-67 Stan Wagnon

Student Writer

Stan Wagnon

Clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch and the fine inside play of Tammy Cummings and Penni Kime enabled Central Oklahoma to finish its regular season on a high note Saturday as the Lady Bronchos outdistanced Cameron 81-67.

UCO, 11-15 before Tuesday's Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament game at Texas A&MKingsville, connected on 23 of 31 free throws in the game, including 11 of 15 in the final 3:52.

Student Writer Cameron University made a school-record nine 3-pointers and held a 53-32 rebounding advantage as the Aggies handed Central Oklahoma a 98-83 setback Saturday to end the regular season.

Cameron connected on 43 of 82 field goals while holding UCO to a 27 of 70 performance and its lowest offensive output of the season. The Bronchos, 17-9 prior to Tuesday's Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament game with Abilene Christian, went into the game averaging 56.2 rebounds per game, but CU controlled the boards from start to finish.

UCO enjoyed its only lead of the ballgame with 19:37 to go in the opening half after a Junie Sanders jumper. The Aggies responded with a Devron Davie 3-pointer to take the lead, and CU never trailed from that point on. Cameron held a 58-47 edge at the half.

In the second half, CU opened a 15-point advantage before the Bronchos cut the Aggie lead to five points, 70-65, on a Zoderick

tage at halftime, 45-30. Cummings and Kime led the way in the opening period as the duo combined for 24 points and 11 rebounds.

Cameron battled back in the second half, cutting the UCO lead to four points, 53-49, with 13:33 remaining, but the Lady Aggies would get no closer as UCO pulled away at the free-throw line. UCO scored its final 11 points from the charity stripe in picking up its third victory over CU this season.

Cummings finished with 20 points and seven rebounds to lead UCO, while Kime had 18 points and seven boards. Tammie Barker scored 13 for the Lady Bronchos, and April Taylor added 11.

Green layup with 12:40 remaining. The Aggies then returned to their dominance on the boards and pulled away from UCO down the stretch to end a seven-game losing

skid against the Bronchos.

Darrell Gibson led the Bronchos with 18 points while Sanders scored 16. Andre Jackson added 14 points for UCO.

Both the men's and women's track teams displayed some fine performances at the Last Chance Indoor Open held in Norman Saturday.

Freshman Jason Larabee shined for the men's team, grabbing first place in the 1500-meter and 3000meter races with times of 3:58.7 and 8:38.1, respectively. Senior Gary Hamer finished second in

the 1500 with a time of 4:01.4.

Larabee has already qualified for the NCAA Division II Championships March 11-12 in Fargo, N.D. Sophomore Joe Aska picked up a first-place finish in the 55-meter dash with a time of 5.9 seconds.

Aska also grabbed a second-place finsh in the 200 meter with a time of 22.56. Nathan Schlinke, who has also qualified for the championships, finished second in the shot put with a distance of 51'10".

Bronchos sweep Rangers, split with Washburn

By Rachel Schnitzer

Staff Writer TheUniversity of Central Oklahoma baseball team started the season in grand fashion, winning two over Regis College and splitting a pair with Washburn University.

The first game of the season was a close call against Regis, with the Bonchos winning the first game of the double-header 6-5 on Saturday.

The Bronchos scored three in the fourth, but Regis came back with two in the fifth off UCO pitcher Kaleb Schroder. In the top of the fifth, Regis came back to within one, scoring two off starter Kaleb Schroder.

UCO kept the pressure on by scoring three more in the fifth, stretching their lead to four.

The Rangers then got a break when reliever Chad Treadway threw three walks. Mark Berglan came in to save the game by pitching one and two-thirds of an inning.

The Broncho offense was led

by Eddie Jeffcoat, who went 2-3 with one RBI and two runs scored.

Dave Miller and Shane Smith both went 1-2, hitting doubles.

The second game was all UCO. The Bronchos came out swinging.

They scored five in the bottom of the first and went on to a 9-3 victory.

Regis was held scoreless until the third, when they scored three off starter Greg Hall. The Rangers were silent from then on, as Hall pitched superbly.

Jeffcoat and Gordon Hockett both hit doubles to help the team, while Smith had four RBIs On Sunday, the Bronchos played a double-header against Washburn at Broncho Stadium.

The first game slipped away from UCO. The Bronchos jumped out to a4-1 lead, and then watched it slowly fade to a 5-4 deficit. The Ichabods would not let the game go and kept putting points on the board. Washburn scored one in the first and fourth, three in the fifth, one in the sixth and two in the seventh to give them an 8-7 win.

DOMINO'S was an extra inning, high- scoring slugfest that ended in a 12-11 victory for the Bronchos.

Once again, the Bronchos jumped out to an early lead and saw it slip away. This time the Ichabods were down 8-0 when they came back in the fifth.

Washburn scored five in the ninth to tie the score at 10, but UCO prevailed 12-1 in the tenth.

Custody case moves inside after 3 hearings GUTHRIE, Okla. (AP) — The wind no longer swept through Logan County Associate District Judge Penny Howard's courtroom.

And rain wasn' t a problem, either.

In a closed juvenile hearing Monday, the judge's bench consisted of nothing more than a folding chair and table — but at least they were inside.

Three previous hearings to determine if Bill and Rebecca Van Hautan's three daughters should remain in their home had been held on the sidewalk outside the Logan County courthouse because Mrs. Van Hautan has active tuberculosis.

Howard moved Monday's hearing to the education building on the county fairgrounds after the Van Hautans' attorney complained about the outside location.

The cold weather and rain had caused scheduling problems for the outdoor court, Howard said.

"It was so windy we had trouble holding our papers down."

She had planned to rule Monday on where and how the jury trial the Van Hautans are seeking should be held, but instead continued the hearing until a later date.

For the upcoming trial, the judge is considering using closed-circuit television or audio systems where the defendants speak on the other side of a glass wall.

"We want the jurors to feel their personal health and safety is not at issue so they can focus on the facts they are faced with," she said.

Attorney James Blevins Jr. said having a closed hearing in the middle of a public sidewalk simply wasn't fair to his clients. But he didn't like the new location much better.

"This whole thing is being handled in a medieval fashion," he said. "Look," he said, pointing to the Van Hautans as they sat in their pickup awaiting the start of the hearing, "my clients don' t have horns."

Howard said she acted upon the advice of state health officials when she moved the hearings outside and to Monday's isolated lo-

cation.

In the courthouse, "there were concerns the germs could have moved through the ventilation system and we would have had to shut down the whole courthouse," she said.

The judge wore a surgical mask during the three outdoor hearings and planned to wear one indoors as well. The Van Hautans are under a court order to wear masks during the hearings.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that most commonly affects the lungs. The germs spread when someone with the disease coughs, sneezes, laughs or sings, state health officials said.

"But you have to have prolonged intimate contact with someone who has it," said Dr. Patricia Quinlisk, acting state epidemiologist. "You can't get it by sitting next to a person who has it on a bus."

"But," she added, "our job is to make sure the risk of spreading it is as low as possible."

The likelihood of transmission is reduced to "virtually zero" in a room where windows can be opened six times in an hour, she said. Being outdoors also exposes TB particles to ultraviolet rays that kill the bacteria.

Monday's hearing was held in the fairgrounds building because it could be sealed off for 24 hours afterward.

A major test next year will require at-risk high schools to meet standards of the Department of Education that in some instances

She said HB 1017 is really a 10year plan and some of its benefits will be realized more slowly than others.

Martin Park Nature Center spurs interest

By Janet Runge Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma's Biology Club hosted speaker Steve Thompson, assistant naturalist at the Martin Park Nature Center, at its meeting Feb. 24.

"We have 140 acres and two miles of hiking trails," said Thompson.

The trails are gravel and packed soil, with one trail being wheelchair accessible.

"We do ask people not to go in the corner areas of the park," he said. "We like to keep them quiet for the wildlife, which includes white-tail deer, coyotes and raccoons.

The park, located at 5000 W. Memorial Rd., is operated by the Oklahoma Parks and Recreation Department and is home to a wide variety of native plants and animals.

Thompson said that the park used to be free of bagworms which he contributed to the abundance of yellow-bill cuckoo birds which spent their summers in Oklahoma and ate the bagworms.

"The bagworms are back, and I think it's due to a drop in yellowbill cuckoos, butI'm not sure since we don't have time to research it," he said.

"We're always looking for volunteers that could teach a course or lead a tour. I've turned away twice as many people as I've signed up for programs," he said.

"We have good attendance, the public desires more programming and I'd love to increase it."

Martin Park Nature Center receives over 50,000 visitors a year.

Their hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. year-round and are open Tuesday through Sunday during the months of March through November.

BOSNIA rather find more diplomatic solutions to the conflict, said Furmanski.

Unfortunately, western nations have, in the past, neglected the Russians during the planning of U.N. actions. This has been the source of some diplomatic tensions. But they have continued to press for the withdrawal of Serbian forces from inside the NATO exclusion zones, said Furmanski.

"The Russian role in B osnia has always been in support of NATO and the west," said Furmanski.

"The United States' role in Bosnia would not be very different if the war ended," said Furmanski.

"We are there to give humanitarian assistance. But if peace comes to Bosnia, we will probably join with the European community in sending funds to rebuild it," said Furmanski.

Continued from front page was once a pristine part of Eastern Europe. The country's citizens included Croat nationals, Bosnian Serbs and Muslims.

Sarajevo was also the sight of the 1984 Winter Olympics.

Following the collapse of the communist government in Yugoslavia, the diverse communities began to narrow their interests and the Yugoslavian state decayed into the warring factions of today's Bosnia, Herzegovinia, said Furmanksi, "It will not be an easy task to bring peace and stability to Bosnia Herzegovinia," said Furmanski.

Solutions Wars rooted in national identity don't end until the parties involved become exhausted or if there are outside forces willing to step in and keep the fighting factions apart, said Furmanski.

"The Bosnian conflict is analogous to the fighting in Northern Ireland," said Furmanski.

In Ireland, there are two communities with very little distinction between them. A conflict exists because they feel threatened by the mere existence of one another, said Furmanski.

One solution to the conflict in Bosnia provided for a united federal state to form between Bosnia and Croatia. But after two years of civil war and genocidal atrocities (ethnic cleansing ) it would have been difficult for the embattled ethnic groups to unite, said Furmanski.

Another solution, the VanceOwen plan, was developed by Cyrus Vance, former secretary of state under the Carter administration, and David Owen, former head of the British Liberal Democratic party, said Furmanski.

The plan would have divided B osnia into 10 separate areas. The

idea was to place the areas under the authority of the ethnic majorities within them, said William E. Schmidt in a story in the New York

Times.

"The Bosnians want to be independent of any other group," said Furmanski. "The plan would have essentially created a patchwork of Croatian, Serbian and Muslim territories."

U.S. Involvement The United States was not supportive of the Vance-Owen plan because it rewarded Serbian aggression, said Furmanski.

"We (the United States) did not want to be part of the dismemberment of Bosnia Herzegovinia," said Furmanski.

A hands -off position was maintained until very recently, when it became increasingly clear that the Europeans were not taking care of the situation in Bosnia, said Furmanski.

What Does It All Mean?

"From this, we as Americans can learn that it is better to think of ourselves as a 'corporate whole' as opposed to 'pursuing our own very narrow set of objectives,' " said Furmanski.

"We should all think of ourselves as Americans rather than Oklahomans or members of a particular social, ethnic or economic group," said Furmanski.

"Local democracies are representative of constitutionality rather than distinct identities. They are what bind people of distinct identities together," he said.

Study shows not every condom offers protection

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma students may be using condoms that do not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), according to a study conducted by the Mariposa Education & Research Foundation in Topanga, Calif.

The Mariposa Foundation ranked 31 brands of condoms by composite test scores on a scale of one to 100. The scale consisted of points for a water-leak pinhole test, tensile strength, elongation and defects such as blisters, wrinkles and faulty package seal.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the study is flawed because too few condoms were sampled to be able to generalize any brand, possible deterioration due to improper storage conditions or age was not considered, and not enough condoms were tested for adequate comparison.

The 1-DA also stated that "no studies have shown conclusively that the better a condom performs in a laboratory test, the less likely it is to fail in actual use."

"It's (the study) not perfect, but it's a start," said Frances Larose, a spokesperson for the Mariposa Foundation.

"The purpose of the study is to generate quality control," she said.

"It's a top-quality study," she said. "It was funded by two reputable organizations."

The research was funded by the National Institute of Health and the American Foundation for AIDS Research, she said.

The tests showed that the condoms providing the best protection against STDs and HIV-1 were Mentor, Ramses Non-Lube, Ramses Sensitol, Gold Circle

Coin, Gold Circle and Sheik Elite.

The condoms with the lowest level of protection were Contracept Plus, Trojan Ribbed, Trojan Naturalube Ribbed and LifeS tyles Nuda.

Following the Mariposa study, Mentor was bought by Carter Wallace which manufactures condoms that appeared in the lower half of the rankings. The numberone-ranking Mentor condom is no longer sold, and the new Mentor condom is being sold in the form that is very low on the Consumer Report ranking, the Foundation reported.

The FDA stated that the Mariposa Foundation did not conduct a clinical trial, but Larose said a clinical trial was conducted.

The FDA report stated that a sample of a few hundred condoms from a batch of a million might provide adequate information if it is done in a scientifically random fashion, but it can't establish the performance of an entire brand.

The Foundation study reported that the data consisted of test results from approximately 600 individual condoms from each of the 31 brands.

The Mariposa Foundation study conducted in August of 1993 was performed to confirm or discount the results of a 1988 test conducted by the Foundation. The

Foundation wanted to evaluate viral leakage more thoroughly by testing a large number of similar condoms.

"We were trying to put across an apples-to-apples test," Larose said.

The FDA conducts condom testing by filling a condom with 300 milliliters of water. Generally, 99.6 percent of condoms selected from a batch of condoms must pass the water-leak test before the manufactured batch is acceptable for sale.

Larose said, "We're just trying to say there is a difference."

A report from the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health stated, "Latex condoms are highly effective in preventing the transmission of HIV when used correctly and consistently."

"However," a spokesperson for Mariposa said, "not all brands of condoms are alike or offer the same degree of protection."

The FDA does not recommend using natural membrane condoms for preventing disease. The FDA reported that studies have shown that natural membrane (lambskin) condoms leak more beads and virus than latex condoms.

The Mariposa Foundation is a non-profit organization that conducts research on S'I'DS.
