Study on fifth college begins next week By Roy Howe Staff Writer A steering team overseeing the possibility of dividing the College of Liberal Arts to form a fine arts college is set to organize and begin its study next week which will determine if the idea is feasible and, if so, what form should the proposed college take.
The reasons behind the split involve strengthening the fine arts programs and fund raising. Fifty-four faculty and staff members from the University of Central Oklahoma will comprise eight teams to prospect the idea. The teams' members were chosen according to their interests expressed through a 10-question survey distributed to fulltime faculty and administrators in December.
"Six functionally oriented teams will look at such issues as budget, personnel, physical plant and curricular/program implications," said Terry May, assistant vice president for academic affairs, who will chair the study . A "reader panel team," comprised of deans and faculty, is also being formed to oversee the team' s findings. "...To provide review and comment on the results of the structured team's efforts," May said.
December's survey sought the faculty and administration's views regarding a fifth college. "On that survey, they had the chance to tell us what they thought the principle advantages or principle disadvantages would be for establishing a College of Fine Arts," May said. "They also had a chance to reflect their views on what departments or programs • See Study, Page 9
Noted poet Brooks reads to full audience at UCO The aisles were full, the seats had filled up long before as University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh led a petite, motherly figure down the stairs, toward the stage of the Pegasus Theatre. The woman received a standing ovation, one of several of the afternoon. That figure was noted poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Gwendolyn Brooks. Brooks was at UCO for a poetry reading that concluded Black History Month. "I can't remember when I've had so much applause," said Brooks. She seemed
overwhelmed by the turnout. She said she spends a lot of her time traveling around the country speaking at colleges and universities, as well as high schools, prisons or anywhere else young writers or ordinary people want her to be. "Whoever asks," she said. For nearly an hour and a half, Brooks read her poetry, mostly from her recent book, "Children Coming Home." Brooks, who speaks with a womanly V See BROOKS, Page 6

The University of Central Oklahoma wrestlers capped off another stellar season this weekend by running away with their third consecutive NCAA Division II National Championship in Pueblo, Colo. The Bronchos finished with four individual champions and a school recordtying eight All-Americans. UCO wrapped up the title Saturday finishing with 127.25, doubling the point total of runner-up Mankato State 65.5. Brian
Melchiori, 126 pounds, won the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler and Most Falls trophy. Melchiori upset unbeaten Chris Nelson of Northern Colorado with a fall at 1:46 in the finals to give UCO its first championship of the day. Also winning titles for the Bronchos were Ryan Martin, 134 pounds; Jerry Best, 142 pounds and Wes White at 158 pounds. Senior Keith Cunningham, 167 pounds, was denied his third consecutive championship. Senior Randy Zenner at 118 pounds also placed second at the tournament.

othing seems to be more disheartening than seeing a patient suffering from the AIDS virus. What is even more disturbing is the fact that, while college - age students generally hold high levels of knowledge about AIDS and AIDS prevention, they behave in ways that contradict such knowledge. Education of preventative measures, especially in schools, is widespread, and efforts have been generally effective in distinguishing "safer" and "risky" sexual contact. Perhaps the most far reaching vehicle for this was the Surgeon General's report on AIDS in 1987. Yet, a 1990 University of Maryland study surveyed 3,394 students to discover that 30 percent of sexually active students reported they never used condoms. Over one-fifth of those who didn't use condoms (23 percent) had been previously diagnosed with at least one sexually transmitted disease. In another example, a Sociology and Social Research article reported similar findings of a random sampling of college students(mean age 22), with 21.2 percent never using condoms, and 20.5 percent of college students reported they always used condoms. Also, in a group sampled in nightclubs (mean age of 29) for the same study, 42 percent admitted never using condoms, only seven percent reported always using condoms, and 5 percent of the nightclub group reported being monogamous. Undoubtedly, many are going to argue that much of the safer sex education (including abstinence) is irrelevant for themselves. In fact, almost 40 percent of students agree with this point, according to the Sociology study. They cite using other methods of AIDS prevention such as spermicide lubricants and "knowing" a partner's sexual history. The major argument for many, however, is that the condom does not "fit the moment." The truth is that college-aged students (especially 19-to-25 year-olds) are the most rapidly growing group acquiring the AIDS virus. In such a well-educated community like the college class, the answer is no longer education. Mortality is a part of life, and so is AIDS. The answer now is action.

Student expresses opinions of Vista usually don't write to a newspaper to express my views, because as we all know, everyone has an opinion. I couldn't just sit back this week though, thinking my personal thoughts of the paper, because there was just so much in there that I disagreed with. The cartoon of Beavis and Butthead was the first offensive piece. As adults, I feel that this kind of humor is below our "seeming" intelligence. Your cartoonist doesn't have a unique sense of humor, as you state. He is merely copying someone else's bad taste. I also believe that it is an infringement on the copyright law of the band Metallica or AC/DC to reprint their names as part of the Beavis and Butthead cartoon. Actually, I do believe it is an infringement on the copyright law of the artist to reprint them without permission. You say that you checked this out, I just hope you are right. The second offensive piece was on page three of the same Vista. I viewed a picture of a person waiting to speak at a lecture on crossdressing. Why is this picture in the paper? There is no accompanying article. Did you put the picture in just for shock effect? I was expecting the article near the picture to address the meeting, maybe even informing a homophobic society
/
about something that may somehow affect them. Maybe even an articleihat would help bridge the gap between gays, lesbians, heterosexuals and all people thatmay have "different" fetishes. Instead, the article was about "Changing Face of Medical Education." I have no complaint about the article, but why not feature a picture of the speaker of that meeting? Didn't he look odd enough for you? Quite frankly, who really cares about "Terri's 2 cents?" I have been quietly disagreeing with her opinion about almost everything she writes about, allowing her to have her own opinion, but this week was just too much. I personally don't care about what a garter belt feels like on her body. Yes, we all know that a majority of men find them sexy, and we women who wear them know how they make us feel, but do we really need an article explaining this? I thought I was reading a softporn magazine. So what does it feel like to have a Slinky in your pants? And who cares how Terri's boyfriend reacted when he heard that she had it on? Terri, you aren't really funny, so could you please stick to some serious reporting? No offense, but please... The last thing I wanted to discuss is the Around Campus section of the paper. It seems that I
miss a lot of things to do, because they are not publicized in a timely manner. For example, under "Today" you listed a meeting for the UCO Medieval Society which took place at 2:30 p.m. The Vista doesn't even get out to all the campus stands until after 4 p.m. a lot of times. What good does this do? The meeting is over. I realize that this meeting was published in a previous issue, but many times this doesn't happen. It's aggravating to get a paper on Wednesday, read it and find out that the things that sound interesting are already over or taking place right then. This campus has a real problem getting the word out about events. Just last week, my friend and I were walking through the ground floor of the University Center. There were a couple of guys on a stage in the middle of the cafeteria singing, and singing well, I might add. Both my friend and I kept asking, "What's going on?" No one knew. Later, a couple of days later, I read in The Vista about the carnival that was going on. Thanks for allowing me to express my opinion. I would really like to see The Vista become something more than just something to read in a boring class.
-Maria Martin UCO Student
Editor's note: The paper does not come out after 4 p.m. In fact, the paper on average comes out the night before, or, at the latest, by noon on the paper's date. In addition, a note on Around Campus specifically requests that all notices be in one week in advance. Two stories about Entertainment Day were printed-- one on Feb. 1 and one on Feb. 24.

Reader gives different perspective on firearms / am writing in response to the gun-control letters that have been written in the last few weeks. I unfortunately missed the letter that started the controversy between Mr. Shultz and K. Parvez Murshed, but I think everyone is missing the point. Guns are the only group of consumer products that are not regulated. The Federal Bureau of Al-
cohol, Tobacco and Firearms lacks the same regulatory powers as the FSA, CPSC or EPA. Also, all the letters are concerned with criminal activity. By looking at statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Victimization Survey, criminal activity only encompasses 10 percent of firearm-related deaths. (Source- Rolling Stone) What
about homicides, suicide and the fact that a person owning a gun is more likely to kill someone they know or love than someone breaking into their home? It's insane to justify the right to bear arms because it is an outdated and impractical misconception in our modern society! I think all the letters did have some worth. Why not address the problem directly by
eliminating the monetary influence of the NRA and create a federal agency to regulate firearms and deal with criminal activity? A good compromise would be eliminate all firearms except hunting rifles and not just slap the hands of violators, but use them as examples to stop violence.

ongratulations Terri! Yourcolumn on March 1 has to be the biggest piece of journalistic trash that The Vista has ever published. What do your garter belts have to do with anything that even remotely concerns the students at UCO or anyone else for that matter? No one wants to know about , your garter straps pulling and snapping against your bottom with every step, nor does anyone care about what turns your boyfriend on. What makes you think that the campus newspaper is a forum to express your wants to remember ( or will soon forget) the mental images you conjured up in your column? Your article does not help the image of The Vista , and if some• thing like that can be published, then I would like to see every student on this campus be allowed a similar opportunity to publish something like it. If journalism is your, maj or, consider another field. Leave the writing to those who can write about something relevant to this campus.

Teres cents Lying down in the middle America is a vast country, but it apparently has no middle ground. People either command the breathless heights of the mountain top, or they wallow in the excremental pit of the gutter. We have forgotten what a shade of gray looks like. The extremes of black and white wrestle with each other over a little thing called truth in this industrialized plugged-in, information -,;oggt.'l landscape, where we have judiciously replaced dumb superstition with three-second sound bites. Nobody seems to notice that life does not come in one big complementary block of black and white— totally right or totally wrong. Instead it is baked up in a mish-mash of multiple layers of gray. (That's right, life is a croissant.) The problem with an electorate that can only think in extremes is that it makes for bad and regrettable laws. It also makes for slippery "public servants" who know they don't ever have to answer any of the complex concerns of their constituents; they merely have to look good on videotape. Life is complicated and those interest groups who wish to inform us on their positions need to start treating it like it is. If we don' t start demanding this, we will continue to be informed without really knowing anything. Before we all become roadkill on the information superhighway, we need to remember that there is a beginning, an end and a yes ,but in the middle of every argument.

Kremm receives scholar award Hindman be executed before their
Jason Webb Student Writer Dr. Diane Kremm, history and geography professor at the University of Central Oklahoma, was awarded the 1994 Distinguished Scholar Award Thursday at a ceremony in the Home Economics Building. Kremm presented her speech, "History is Fun." She also talked about her and her husband's biography, "Lion of the South: Gen-
eral Thomas C. Hindman." Kremm said she experienced, through her research, everything that Gen. Hindman did. She experienced from when Hindman was a boy to how the family had to move from state to state. Kremm concluded her presentation by telling of the pain she and the Hindman family went through as they watched Gen.
very eyes. Dr. Thomas Guild, president of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), stepped up again and presented her with a plaque recognizing her achievements for the award. Her name was also put on a larger plaque along with the other Distinguished Scholar winners from the previous 13 years. Guild also commented on some of the achievements of UCO's AAUP chapter. Guild said the criteria for winning the award was that the recipients must have a publication with either national or regional recognition published within the last five years and bring local attention to the university. Guild said the deciding factor for choosing Kremm over the other six nominees was that she was a co-author of a book to be published nationally.

Recruiters visit UCO in search of graduating students for peace work China trying to keep trade status BEIJING (AP) — China knows what it has to do to keep its favorable trade status with the United States: clean up its human rights record, a U.S. envoy said today. John Shattuck, assistant secretary of state for human rights, said he had "detailed and in-depth" discussions with Chinese officials on the human rights conditions President Clinton has attached to this year's renewal of China's most-favored-nation trade status. "I have no doubt that there is a very clear understanding on the part of the relevant Chinese officials about what precisely is meant and what examples of progress could occur. That has been the fruit of this most recent discussion," Shattuck said of his meetings Feb. 28 and March 1.
L.A. teacher threatens colleagues LOS ANGELES (AP) — A kindergarten teacher threatened to "mow down" his colleagues after they told police he had taken a loaded handgun to school, a prosecutor said. Raymond Jett Jr., 36, caned a substitute teacher to threaten revenge after his arrest on charges he had a loaded gun in his car in the school parking lot, Deputy District Attorney Tia Fisher said Tuesday. "He was very specific about sawing off his shotgun to mow down and cut down the teachers in the lounge," she said at a bail hearing. "He made very concrete threats. He named names. He had the firepower to carry it out." She said Jett then planned to commit suicide. Jett's lawyer Robert McDaniel said his client would plead innocent.
Man impersonates Navy test pilot PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A man who admitted he impersonated a Navy test pilot and wore a patch from the "Top Gun" flight school pleaded guilty to additional charges, delaying his sentencing. Michael Jacobus was arrested on a charge of impersonating a federal employee in October, ending a decade-long charade in which he charmed women with his uniforms and bluffed his way into Navy officers' quarters. He has never been in the Navy. He pleaded guilty in December and was to have been sentenced Tuesday. However, sentencing was delayed because he pleaded guilty Feb. 24 to additional charges of stealing documents and making a false statement. Jacobus, 38, of Willoughby, Ohio, will be sentenced on the original charge and the six new counts at the same time but no date has yet been set, Assistant U.S. Attorney Pamela A. Moine said Tuesday.
South Africa split over elections CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — The leaders of a coalition of conservative blacks and pro-apartheid whites announced Friday they might participate in the nation's first all-race elections if their demand for foreign mediation is met. However, members of the Freedom Alliance indicated they wanted the historic April vote delayed, something both the white minority government and the African National Congress (ANC) have rejected. The Freedom Alliance held an emergency meeting Friday after a key member, Inkatha Freedom Party leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi, indicated he might take part in the vote. Alliance members, including Inkatha, the pro-apartheid Conservative Party and the government of the nominally independent Bophuthatswana homeland, fear their desires for self-determination would be ignored by an ANC government. The ANC, South Africa's largest political group, is expected to win the April 26-28 election, making its president, Nelson Mandela, the country's first black leader. Members of the Freedom Alliance have threatened civil war if their demands for regional autonomy are not met, and they could seriously disrupt the vote. Already, more than 3,000 South Africans have died in political violence over the past year, much of it linked to an Inkatha-ANC feud.

Staff Writer Recruiters from the Peace Corps visited the University of Central Oklahoma in search of graduating college students who are interested in being Peace Corps volunteers on Wednesday. The majority of Peace Corps recruits are college graduates, because most of the programs require college degrees. Volunteer programs include agriculture, business administration and skilled trades such as carpentry, home economics, health care and education, said Robert E. Hains, Peace Corps recruiter. The Peace Corps is looking for people who have strong backgrounds in mathematics, chemistry, physics or biology who can teach science in a developing country, said Hains.
"Graduates with teaching certificates can be used as 'teacher trainers' in the developing country," said Hains. The Peace Corps is also looking for people with degrees in dietetics, nutrition, public health and business management, said Hains. People with degrees in agriculture are urged to volunteer, because most developing countries have agrarian based economies, said Hains "The developing country sends requests for volunteers who meet the standards they set and most require college degrees," said Hains. "We travel to universities looking for persons who are graduating soon, and who are interested in becoming Peace Corps volunteers," said Hains. The recruiters were invited into classes by a number of UCO pro-
fessors. They informed the students about the Peace Corps and talked about their personal experiences as Peace Corps volunteers, said Hains "We have had an excellent response here at UCO," said Ava Castanuela, Peace Corps recruiter. "We hope to schedule next year's visit to coincide with the Multicultural Job Fair," said Castanuela. "We recommend that a person submit an application from nine months to a year before they plan to volunteer," said Hains. The Peace Corps is an agency of the federal government started in 1961 under the Kennedy administration. Since its inception, 140,000 people have volunteered to work in over 100 countries around the world. Presently, there are 6,400 volunteers in over 90 countries, said Hains.

Mission destined for Cuba
Peace House sends supplies, buses to needy By Michelle Peller
Staff Writer Nathaniel Batchelder is set on breaking the law, and he wants everyone to know about it. Batchelder, a staff member of Peace House, a nonprofit organization, left Oklahoma City Thursday destined for Cuba. His mission, along with Pastors for Peace, a project of the Interreligious Foundation for Comm, nity Organization, is to deliver humanitarian aid and 10 buses without applying for or accepting a license from the U.S. Treasury Department. The consequences might be to pay a fine of $1 million and jail terms of 10 years for delivering • aid to churches in Cuba. The Peace House deals with public education and advocacy, environmental sustainability and peace and justice issues. According to Pastors for Peace, the U.S. government imposed an economic embargo against Cuba in 1963 when it realized that the Cuban revolution was committed to independence and socialism. The embargo is more accurately called a "blockade," according to Pastors for Peace. Besides impos-
ing a ban on all aid and trade with Cuba, it also pressures governments and businesses in other countries to withhold aid, trade, and technology from Cuba and uses its clout in international lending institutions to make sure Cuba gets no loans. Batchelder said this is his first time to join Pastors for Peace in going to Cuba. Their stay in Cuba will consist of eight days. Some of the items that are being taken are bicycles, Bibles, some food, medical supplies, prescription drugs, school supplies and buses. At these presentations, the Pastors for Peace speak about the policy between Cuba and the United States, what they will be doing, and why they are going, he said. On their last attempt to travel to Cuba, a school bus was held up at the border by U.S. officials. The officials told them they could not give the bus to Cuba. After three weeks of fasting by caravan members, they were finally permitted into the country. Pastors for Peace hope that this caravan will go smoothly, but they do not know what to expect. "We could be held up again at

the border or some of our relief goods could be held back," said Stan Pamkratz, volunteer for the caravan that went last August to Cuba, as well as the current one. If the trip is successful, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center, along with the Cuban Ecumenical Council . will distribute the buses throughout the island. The buses will be used for the Sunny School Educational Program of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, said Pamkratz. Last year, a bus went to a home for retarded children. "Mexico is cooperative because they have good relations with Cuba," Pamkratz said. "The people of Cuba need help. They need relief," said Batchelder. "What we are advocating is a policy of free and open trade." Batchelder said that they can easily file for a license but they do not want to because they think this law is "unjust." They have Cuban visas and passports, and it is a possibility that the U.S. officials might confiscate the passports when they return. Pamkratz said the group feels comfortable with the consequences of going to Cuba illegally.

The Anatomy of the Citibank Classic card: a body of services and peace of mind for students, now with No Annual Fee.
For years, scientists could only
theorize about the Citibank Classic Visas card. unable to actually observe anything below its epidermal surface (i.e. the plastic). Surely the highly intelligent services were evidence of an advanced brain. But with the latest advances in x-ray technology. and when the light could catch the various parts just so, it was confirmed: the Citibank Classic Visa card is head to toe more evolved than ever imagined. ¶ At its backbone are 3 services to cover the purchases you make on the card. Starting at the Lower Costal
Spine, we see Citibank Price Protection can assure you of the best price. All you have to do is discover the same item advertised in print for less, within 60 days, and Citibank will Scientists theorize that the mind of the Citibank Classic.

So if you ever buy a walk man, a stereo. whatever. it will be reassuring to know that Citibank can bend and be flexible while still lending support. 4. The backbone is then connected to the cranium or headbone. Look at the bottom of the page. The Citibank Photocard has the head of the cardholder, as well as his or her own signature, right on the front. That way, it will help prevent fraud. It will also make a good form of ID, since you get to choose your own photo. ¶ But what about the Nervous System? The fact is, it doesn't have one, not in the spinal cord nor in the brain. What it has is the Very Calm System. Because even if your credit card gets stolen, or gets lost, an involuntary muscle called the Extendus Anewcardeus activates the Lost Wallet- Service which can replace your card usually within 24 hours. ¶ As suspected, there's another involuntary muscle: the heart —a beating and caring heart, big enough to give students special discounts and savings. You'll receive a $20 Airfare Discount on domestic flights', savings on mail order purchases, sports equipment, magazines and music; a low variable interest rate of 15.4°V; and, No Annual Fee. (In other words, the card itself doesn't cost a forelimb and a hindlimb.)
11 Naturally the
heart of the Citibank Visa card pumps life and personalized customer service into all its parts, 24 hours a day. So no matter what the question you might have concerning your card, you need only call the 800 number. You'll find Citibank has a neck they are eager to stick out for you. They will always lend an ear. Or a hand. They will keep an eye out for you. They will put their best foot forward. Etc. ¶ So call to apply. You don't need a job or a cosigner. And call if you'd like your photo added to your regular Citibank Classic Visa card. The number

should comprise the proposed College of Fine Arts." Of the 128 questionnaires returned, May said there is a twoto- one margin in favor of creating the new college. Approval for the university to begin the planning process for a College of Fine Arts was granted by the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges during its regular meeting last October. The planning stage must be completed by the close of this semester where, if agreed upon, the university will again seek additional approval before beginning the move. "As you can see, this is a very complicated issue and we've put
together the structure and methodology to accomplish our mission," May said. He has said that the feasibility study is simply to determine if there is a need for a College of Fine Arts and, if so, how it should be structured. From there, the committee' s recommendation will go to UCO President George Nigh for his approval. "I assure you that we are starting this study with absolutely no forgone conclusions," May said through his initial survey. The 11 department chairs within the College of Liberal Arts unanimously voted that Nigh go forward with the planning process last September.

Wildcats close door on Broncho season UCO bows out in first round of Lone Star tournament By Scott Moore Sports Writer
The Lone Star Conference tournament came and went for the University of Central Oklahoma men's basketball team as the Wildcats of Abilene Christian University stepped into Hamilton Field House as an underdog and stepped out with a 103-96 victory. ACU, seeded sixth in the seven team field, used a 12-0 scoring run midway through the second half to break a close contest and then dominated the final 12:30 to upset the third-seeded Bronchos. UCO trailed the Wildcats for the first 8:13 of the first half before forward Junie Sanders' slam dunk gave UCO a 20-19 lead with 11:47 left in the half. The Bronchos held the lead for the remainder of the half and took a 45-43 advantage into the locker room. The Bronchos kept the lead in the second half until Wildcat center Tim Spurlock' s layup with
12:29 left gave ACU a 67-66 lead, igniting the 12-0 run. After the scoring spurt, the Bronchos found themselves down 77-66 with 10:50 left in the game. UCO chased the Wildcats for the remainder of the game but could get no closer than five points at 79-74 with 9:16 left. The Bronchos trailed by as much as 14 points in the last seven minutes of play. "When we got behind, we started forcing a lot of our shots," said guard Andre Jackson. "It seemed like we weren' t able to get an offensive rhythm going." "I thought our shooting was bad, real bad," said forward Darrell Gibson. "Our shooting was off, and we started playing sloppy in the second half." The Bronchos shot 40 percent (33-82) for the game and put up 32 three-point shots hitting 11 (34 percent). Guard Zoderick Green went 6-11 from behind the threepoint arc and led the team with 24 points. Forward Junie Sanders chipped in with 19 points and 12
rebounds. Center Johnny Tyson scored 17 points and collected a game-high 14 boards. The Wilcats took control in the second-half, shooting 50 percent (21-42) after shooting just 37 percent (16-43) in the first. ACU used a strong inside game to break the Bronchos' defensive pressure. Twenty one of the Wildcats 37 field goals came from high percentage, under the basket shots. "They were beating our defense and getting a lot of layups," said Jackson. "We would get mixed up on defense. It seemed like we had trouble picking up our man, who's guarding who, that type of thing. Then all the sudden, they'd be wide open under the basket for a layup." The Bronchos finish the year 17-10. It was the final game for seniors Andre Jackson, Artie Taylor and Darrell Tyson. Sanders finishes the season as the Bronchos leading scorer with 21.3 points per game. Tyson finished as UCO's top rebounder, collecting 9.0 boards per game.
Fast-pitch season starts slow
Lady Bronchos bounced out of Lone Star tournament
Lady Bronchos lose four in a row
By Scott Moore
By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer
The Lady Broncho softball team began play Friday in the University of Central Oklahoma Classic. The ladies played six games winning two, while dropping four. The season started out on a bad note with a tough lose to Southwest Baptist 4-3. Then UCO fell to the Lopers of Nebraska-Kearney 3-1. The Lopers had the Lady Bronchos crying UNKIe after the first inning, in which they batted around and scored three. Friday then ended on another UCO loss. Washburn burned the Lady Bronchos in the seventh with a three-run homer to take the victory 10-7. UCO then dropped its first game on Saturday to the University of Nebraska-Omaha 2-0. The Lady Bronchos finally got their first win 5-0 over New Mexico Highlands. The Lady Bronchos were powered by a four-run fourth highlighted by a double by junior outfielder Stephanie Cook.

Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma women's basketball team's season came to an end Tuesday night in Kingsville, Texas as Texas A&M University (Kingsville) slipped past the Lady Bronchos 71-63 in the opening round of the Lone Star Conference tournament. The Lady Bronchos hit just 10 of 24 shots in the first half and trailed at the break 33-27. UCO maintained a 41 percent shooting average for the game but was outrebounded by TAMUK 38-29, 15-7 on the offensive boards. The Lady Javelinas hit 50 per-
cent of their second-half shots and hit 85 percent from the free-throw line. Center Kristin Ciborowski led the Lady Javelinas with 18 points and collected 7 rebounds. UCO's leading scorer, forward Tammy Cummings, was held to just 11 points in the game but grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. Guard Kim Priddy led the Lady Bronchos with 15 points. The Lady Bronchos hit 7-17 (41 percent) from three-point range with five players hitting at least one three-pointer. The game marked the final appearence for Tammy Cummings, Jennifer Garrison, Kara Kes sler, Penni Kime and Kim Priddy.
