The Student Voice Since 1903

`Buffalo Soldiers' honored at UCO By Paul Eddy Staff writer February may have been Black History Month, but as those attending "Salute to the Spirit of the Buffalo Soldiers" found out, African American history is not something that can be packaged into a month and put away on the shelf the rest of the year. The ceremony began shortly after 7 p.m. March 6 in the UC University Center Ballroom. The program was a joint effort by Langston University and UCO with support provided by various multicultural, military and student organizations. An estimated crowd of over 300

filled the ballroom as Barry Lofton, coordinator of multicultural student services, began the evening by welcoming the audience. The keynote speech was given by Maj. Gen. Russell C. Davis, commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard. Davis began by filling in the history of the African American in the military history of the United States. "Throughout our history, African Americans have fought in every war," he said. There have been several times when the African American has had to fight for the right to fight, said Davis.

Scholarship established in memory of student

Christopher Williams

A memorial scholarship will be given in honor of late UCO student and Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) fraternity member, Christopher Samuel Williams. Last December, 24-year-old Williams was killed while cleaning his rifle. Williams struggled with finances when he went to UCO, said Britt Williams, Chris' father. He said the scholarship will give someone like Chris the chance to pursue an education. 'See ATO, Page 13

Student wins 'Publishers Clearinghouse' By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Ed McMahon was nowhere in sight when Janice Hull opened the envelope proclaiming she was a third place winner in the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. "I have been getting these things through the mail for almost a year and the last one said I was a finalist," said Hull, who is a business graduate student at UCO. "My husband told me, 'Janice, I have this really good feeling that you're going to win this

time. Send it back. — "Well, lo and behold, I got this thing back that said, 'You're a winner! You're a winner! — "When I opened it, I saw it was a check and I thought, 'No... it can't be...,"' she said. As Hull began to open the check, she thought there was going to be some kind of a catch. "When I looked, I saw it was 31 cents. I laughed and said, 'Well this is cheaper than sending me a stamped addressed envelope. — Hull said she thought she would at least frame the check: "It will make a good conversation piece."

SGA president coordinates 'draining' of student fees on fountain By Leslie Wakulich Student Writer Three organizations on campus will spend $7,000 of student activity fees to fund the construction of a fountain at the corner of Second Street and University Drive—a move

that has been questioned by some students. President George Nigh gave $3,000 each to President's Leadership Council (PLC), Presidents' Club and Student Government Association (SGA) to spend on community service and education. Nigh said the money was set aside

from the administrative budget to support student activities. "A certain portion of the student activity fees is distributed by the president, he distributed them to us, and we could do \vith it what we wanted," said Ben Harris, SGA president and coordinator of this project.

"We (the clubs) decided to pool our money and focus on community service with the idea being that next year we will focus on education," said Harris. He said the fountain will benefit the entire community because it will be so visible. Y See FOUNTAIN, Page 13

he days of "let the best (hu-)man win" are over, at least when it comes to affirmative action hiring practices. Feelings of "reverse discrimination" and helplessness are overriding the confidence of applicants who once had the attitude: "Yes, I'm qualified. I can (and should be) hired for this job." It's now: "Yes, I'm Hispanic/female/African American/Puerto Rican/Jewish/disabled...or able to contact my lawyer if I'm not hired." Even, "Yes, I'm Caucasian. Got any openings?" is occasionally heard. At least that's how a growing number of job applicants feel their "credentials" are being assessed. Affirmative action contributes to the appearance of minorities in workplaces they deserve to be included in (and should be included in). But, it also lends itself to meeting "quotas" set by companies or governments that could actually be forcing employers to judge solely on color or creed instead of ability. It often focuses too much on WHAT the person is, not WHO the person is. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is even encouraging a "boycott" of 7-Up and Dr Pepper products, claiming that there are not any African Americans in the companies. Dr Pepper and 7-Up, however, deny this claim, citing that African Americans comprise over 12% of the work force. The NAACP claims otherwise, calling out "discrimination." Affirmative action is positive in many ways, but we all must remember, also, the PEOPLE doing the job. First of all, it's bad enough that an applicant's future is reduced to a resume—a piece of paper. But now applicants' abilities are being looked at in light of their color or ethnic creed, too. As graduates go into the working world, they must stress that they are PEOPLE, not a quota or merely a "position" to be filled. These are the only ways affirmative action will be "affirmative" in reducing racism and segregation for all Americans.

SGA president 'runs afoul,' offers apology

his letter regards events that transpired last semester. As student body president I was appointing senators and reviewing applications for senate positions. The applications contained the GPA (grade point average) of the student, the Social Security number, the first and last name, activities and offices held and a signature. I had questions as to whether or not a student's grade point average was correct, so in order to verify the application I went to the administration building and entered the last name of the student along with his Social

Security number into the enrollment computers in order to access his transcript information. It was at this point that I had unknowingly run afoul of university policy. For that error I apologize to the student body, the Student Government Association and especially Mr. Charlie Harjo, whose transcript was accessed. I would like to stress the importance of knowing university policy on the issue of confidentiality as referred to in the Student Handbook so that other students will not make the same mistake. As your president, I have made many decisions on your

behalf because that is what you elected me to do. I have tried my best to represent you with integrity and honesty and feel that I have done that. You deserve to know exactly what transpired and that I am sorry for what happened. As a 19-yearold involved in the educational process I made a mistake and I apologize for that. It is an honor to serve as your president and I appreciate your support and understanding of this apology. Thank you. —Ben Harris Student Government Association President

Student says debt threatens Social Security n Thursday, March 2, 1995, 33 democrats and one republican declared war on future and past generations of Americans. By a final vote of 35 to 65, the Balanced Budget Amendment was defeated in the United States Senate. Many democrats stated they would vote for the amendment if it contains language which prevents Social Security from being used as a method of reducing the budget deficit. If these democrats were truly interested in preserving the integrity of Social Security they should have drafted separate legislation to make Social Security part of the Constitution. It is reprehensible to attach to a constitutional amendment language

that disallows usage of a fund that in itself is not validated as a constitutionally protected item. The Social Security Act required a majority vote for its passage, while the Balanced Budget Amendment required passage by two-thirds of both houses of Congress as well as three-fourths approval by all 50 states. The democrats were attempting to put before the American people not one, but two constitutional amendments. These items must be treated as separate entities because they are not in any way necessarily dependent upon one another. It is estimated that every American's share of the national debt is approximately $20,000. In fact, the greatest threat to

Social Security is the runaway national debt because our government borrows money from Social Security to supplement its deficit spending. If the budget is not brought into line we will be unable to repay the Social Security trust for moneys borrowed. The deficit is devouring a great deal of the money that could be used to fund infrastructure, education and many more worthy programs. Please write to those senators who voted against the Balanced Budget Amendment and express your discontent.

Administrative employee says discussion on raises is 'scatter-gunned'

, and many of my colleagues in the Administration Building, enjoy your paper. I was a bit puzzled when I read the article, editorial and certain points in an accompanying letter in the Feb. 23 edition concerning administrative, management and "professional" raises. I have been at UCO for almost three years now and I have yet to get a raise. I have realized salary increases through advancement in our particular department and once my position was "reevaluated" by the personnel office. Ah, but I digress. I find comfort in the fact that I can only render my assigned duties on the 2,640-odd students whose files I personally manage, one student at a time. The fact that I am unencumbered by the task of setting my own office hours or being able to post new hours on my door is a source of great pride for me. Actually, being able to play "musical office hours" on my door might be fun except for the fact that my office hours are set by the administration at 8-5 p.m. and I do not have a door on my office (my walls extend up to six feet, but I'm only dealing with fairly insensitive interviews and confidential student information so I try not to let it bother me.) I do not pretend to speak for N

N N Q CI.

members of the staff in my department, the Administration Building or any other building on campus, but I would appreciate it if the next time someone who is represented by their very own Senate and chapter of their very own professional trade organization or the editorial staff of this publication wish to discuss the perceived difference in administration and faculty fund-

ing, they would choose their shots more carefully. The scatter-gun method of pinpointing a target is at best ineffective and misleading. According to UCO Foundation figures, 56.1 percent of the university's income is spent on instruction while only 6.5 percent is spent on student services. Of course you can always say, "Oh, we didn't mean

that part of the administration." Sarcasm aside, it would be great if members of the faculty received a raise. It would also be nice if the staff received a raise. There are many of us here on staff who perform our assigned duties consistently, eight hours a day, five days a week and usually only receive attention when things go wrong.

We would enjoy receiving the pay of some on the other side of the aisle who do not. When it comes down to which end of the "stick" I'll end up with, I do not know. I'm just trying to keep the splinters from affecting my attitude.

Whoever said the best things in life are free" probably had a trust fund.

Only the city has sufficient supplies to handle such a heavy snowfall, said Mounce. "What we have to do is rely on a combination of opening a little bit later, plus doing what we can for the entrances of the buildings," said Mounce. Classes that started before 9:10 a.m. were closed on Tuesday due to another unexpected bout with bad weather. The UCO Physical Plant was called to the campus at midnight in order to get the sidewalks clean enough to hold classes after 9 a.m. "It's a timing thing as to whether to call it off or not," said Mounce.

WORLD Petitions begin to protect women LONDON (AP) — In a 135-page report, Amnesty International, a human rights group, accused governments of ignoring violations of women's rights. The group announced a year-long campaign to lobby gov ernments to try to combat the abuse of women and said it would circulate petitions demanding that governments make specific commitments to protect women's rights. Women around the world are denied human rights because of deeply rooted discrimination, wars and civil conflicts, and repression of political or social activism, it said. At the U.N. Conference on Women in Beijing in September, governments should formally recognize their responsibility for all human rights violations against women by their security forces and propose concrete action for promoting and preventing such abuses, the group said.

New York approves death penalty ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Gov. George Pataki, using the pen of a slain police officer, signed legislation to make New York the 38th state with a death penalty. "Our state has traveled a long and arduous road to arrive at this point in history ... That long road is now over. Justice will now be served,' Pataki said at a ceremony attended by relatives of murder victims. "For too many years, too many New Yorkers have lived in fear of crime," Pataki added. "This law alone won't stop crime, but it is an important step in the right direction." The Legislature had approved capital punishment bills for 18 straight years, with Democratic governors vetoing the measure every time. Republican Pataki ousted Gov. Mario Cuomo in November. The law is to take effect with crimes committed on or after Sept. 1. The method of execution: lethal injection.

Panel to search for records on JFK WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to dispel notions that the government is concealing information about President Kennedy's assassination, an independent panel is gearing up to launch a nationwide search for records. After a slow start, the Assassination Records Review Board, with a 1995 budget of $2.15 million and $2.4 million proposed for 1996, is seeking out new materials related to the assassination and reviewing records that government agencies would rather keep secret. To uncover materials that might he in the hands of private citizens, it is counting on getting leads from experts, documents and a series of public meetings. Created by Congress in 1992 with the hope of squelching public unease that the government has not divulged all it knows about the Nov. 22, 1963 assassination, the board was not appointed until President Clinton took office.

Longer gestation could save lives CHICAGO (AP) — Whether babies survive depends more on how long they have spent in the womb than their birth weight, according to a study that contradicts earlier research. Efforts to lower the U.S. infant mortality rate, which is worse than 21 other industrial countries, have focused on efforts to bolster birth weight, such as programs urging pregnant women to eat right and not smoke. But the study's findings suggest researchers should focus on preventing early births rather than increasing birth weights. Low birth weight, defined as less than 5.5 pounds, can be caused by early birth, but only about 40 percent of low birth weight babies are born early, said the study's lead author, Dr. Allen Wilcox, chief of epidemiology at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Preterm deliveries may occur from rupture of the membranes that surround and nourish the fetus; uterine contractions that start early for unknown reasons; illnesses in the mother, such as pregnancy-induced diabetes; and the presence of multiple fetuses. Smoking also increases the risk by about 50 percent, said a representative of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

UCO takes 4th straight title By Scott Moore

Sports Writer What was old hat for the Central Oklahoma wrestling team as a whole was a new experience for some of the individuals involved. But for their first time around, they made a big impact and for UCO it meant another dominating performance at the Division II National Championship Tournament. The top-rated Bronchos walked away from Kearney, Neb. Saturday with their fourth straight Division II national championship while crowning three individual champions and placing five others. But for champions Brian Melchiori (at 126 lbs), Mike Keim (134) and Jerry best (142) and placers Mark Cunningham (2nd at 158) and Chad Humphrey (3rd at 190) the experience factor of having wrestled at the national tournament before was thought to have given them an edge and their success was to be possibly anticipated. So the main concern for UCO Head Coach David James before the nationals was whether or not those wrestlers who had never been to the nationals would perform well. The answer was a definite yes. "They responded outstanding," said James. "There is no other way that I could put it." UCO had five newcomers to the national tournament with Keith Kizarr (118), Shawn Bateman (150) and heavyweight Jeff Pease all placing for UCO. Bateman and Pease finished second and Kizarr placed third. Bateman, a surprise runnerup, was seeded seventh and entered the tourney having just cracked the rankings at seventh. He upset the No. 2 seed in the quarterfinals but lost in the finals to top-seeded Brian Zanders of Nebraska-Omaha 13-7.

tournament history. UCO, the pre-season favorite to win the championship, won its 12th national wrestling title in 42 years of wrestling and its ninth in James' 13-year tenure. "One of my main concerns before the tournament was hopefully that our wrestlers would go out and wrestle at their top level with no distractions and that's exactly what they did," said James. "They didn't get caught up in the hype or the media expectations of the people around them. The best thing that they did was to set all that aside and go out and do what they needed to do to win a national championship.

Sports Writer

The 6th-ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos continued their fast start to the 1995 season by breezing to two victories over South Dakota at home Monday and improving their record to 60. The Bronchos allowed just five hits and one run in two games against the Coyotes, tak-

ing the first contest 7-0 and the second 9-1. With a strong pitching performance by Greg Hall, the Bronchos used defense instead the offensive explosions that were characteristic of their first four victories to down South Dakota in the first game Hall (2-0) pitched six innings giving up two hits, walking two and striking out 11 in tossing UCO's first shut-out victory of

the young season. The Bronchos tallied 12 hits against South Dakota pitching in the second game and used a fiverun sixth inning to break open a 4-0 game. Brian Nichols (2-0) picked up the win in the second game, giving up no runs, one hit and striking out three in six innings. The Bronchos begin an eightgame road swing Friday when they travel to Hays, Kan. for games against Fort Hays State and defending national champion Central Missouri State. UCO will face Fort Hays St.on Friday and Saturday and take on Central Missouri State on Saturday and Sunday.

Lady Bronchos' season ends with tourney defeat By Rachel Schnitzer

A second half rally fell short as the Lady Bronchos ended their season by falling to East Texas State 68-63 in the Lone Star Conference Quarterfinals. UCO jumped out to a three point lead at the 16:04 mark, but the Lady Lions rallied to take a four point lead, 15-11. The Lady Bronchos were in front for the last time at 17-15 with 7:31 left in the half. ETSU slowly increased their lead to 12 before ending the half with a 10 point lead, 34-24. "We shot very poorly the first half," Head Coach John Keely said. "We shot 26 percent, but

were only down 10 at halftime." In the second, the Lady Lions stretched their lead to 21 with the clock showing 7:49. The Lady Bronchos then went on an 18-4 tear to pull to within five with 3:03 showing, but fell short despite outscoring ETSU 39-34 in the half. "We went to a half court press and, really, we were back within five with three minutes to go," Keely said. "We had a chance to win, missed a couple of easy shots and we felt like we had an opportunity and just didn't get it done." UCO was led by Freshman of the Year candidate Christy Heavin with 13 points and three rebounds. Seniors Regina Rehl and

UCO works overtime for title Hoopsters rally overtakes Texas A&M-Kingsville in LSC tournament final By Mike Erwin Sports Editor Central Oklahoma clinched an automatic bid the NCAA Division II national tournament by nipping Texas A&MKingsville 96-93 in overtime for the Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament championship Saturday night in Hamilton Field House. The 15th-ranked Bronchos had to rally to win their first-ever LSC tournament title. UCO trailed for almost the entire second half before senior point guard Zoderick Green hit a jumper to pull the Bronchos to within 81-79 with :54 remaining in regulation. Then, with :34 left, Tyshon Fisher nailed an eight foot baseline jumper to pull the Bronchos even at 81-81. The Bronchos led by as many as five points in the overtime

period, but the Javelinas had a chance to tie the score when Tyerone Washington drew a foul on UCO's Ed King with :09 remaining in the game. After hitting his first freethrow, Washington dribbled the ball off his foot and into the lane while preparing to shoot his second. The referees ruled it a lane violation and the ball belonged to the Bronchos. Fisher, a junior forward from Macon, Ga., then converted two freethrows to ice the title for the Bronchos, now 22-6. "It's special, from the standpoint that for some reason this group was picked to win the conference," said UCO coach Jim Seward. "For the guys to then go out and do that and win the tournament, that just makes it really special." Broncho senior forward Junie Sanders enjoyed the fact that this is the first UCO team to win the

regular season championship along with the tournament. "It feels great, knowing that when UCO was winning theconference two years ago, they never won the tournament," said Sanders. "This way, I go out with a bang." The Bronchos were led by Green's 21 points. Jason Ervin and Al Segova each added 13. The Javelinas were paced by Washington's 24 points. Green and Sanders shared the tournament's Co-Most Valuable Player honor. Joining them on the all-tournament team was King and TAMUK's Washington and Johnny Estelle.

Bronchos never trailed again. UCO led by as many as 20 points in the second half before the Lions got within 88-78 with 2:50 remaining. "East Texas had a good gameplan and they executed it better than they did against us previously," said UCO coach Jim Seward, whose Bronchos

Student career fair coordinator `very pleased' with attendance By Cynthia Chung

Staff Writer The turnout for the multicultural student career fair on Nlarch 1 at the University Center Ballroom has left its coordinator, Barry Lofton, "very pleased." Despite the unexpectedly heavy snowfall, 48 companies participated in the fair and over 200 UCO students showed up for the event, said Lofton. Students came armed with resumes and questions, and quickly made their way around the booths. Karen Wright, recruiting coordinator for American Express Financial Advisors, said this was the second year the company sent a representative to the fair. "It's better this time—about two-thirds of the applicants are MBA holders, and that's what we're looking for," she said. Wright said students who brought their resumes along to the fair stood to benefit from the company's reviewing and selecting process. Lisa Velez, human resources manager at The Waterford Hotel, said the hotel's first time at the fair provided "great exposure. "Recruiting is a big part of what I do and it's important to get the right people the first time," she said.

Velez said she would like to see more minorities in the hospitality industry, and the fair was a good place to start. "I try to bring about diversity (in the workplace)—to challenge the stereotypes people have of minorities," she said. Velez maintained that the front desks of most major

"Right now, the foundation and the parents are trying to gather enough donations to make the scholarship and endowment," said Hughes.

HONOR continued from front page

African Americans fought in the War for Independence, the War of 1812 and the Civil War, said Davis. After the Civil War congress voted to form four regiments of African American soldiers—two cavalry and two infantry—those regiments became known as the Buffalo Soldiers. Where or why the name originated is unknown, although many believe the Native Americans bestowed it upon the African Americans because of their dark complexion and tightly curled hair which resembled that of a buffalo. The story of the Buffalo Soldier was told by Ronald H. Bush. Bush has spent three and a half years travelling throughout America, Mexico and Canada telling his stories, the stories of a fictional

buffalo soldier he created and named Sgt. Nathaniel Harris. As Bush stood with bales of hay and a discarded wagon wheel at his back, the yellow kerchief of his uniform contrasting with the blue of his shirt, it might have been easy for the crowd to imagine that the man in front of them was indeed Sgt. Nathaniel Harris stepping out of time to tell his story. "Come with me back in time and hear the story of truth and honor of the men called Buffalo Soldiers," the soldier said. It all started in 1866, he said. Congress then ordered the formation of these four regiments: the ninth and 10th cavalry and the 24th and 25th infantry. These regiments were manned by African American soldiers, also.

They were promised $13 a month, food, equipment and shelter. The Buffalo Soldiers came west protecting settlers who often resented them, fighting Indians and building forts, he said. Supplied with inferior equipment, the Buffalo Soldiers were also expected to "just make do, and take on tasks that other regiments shunned." One of these tasks was keeping settlers out of Indian Territory in accordance with treaty terms. Buffalo Soldiers fought not only the Indians, but the resentment and racism of settlers and the discrimination within the army itself, said Bush. The Buffalo Soldiers helped to clear the way for an integrated military and society, said Bush.

FOUNTAIN It would replace the brown stalks in the center of the flower bed near the flagpoles. The fountain would have a water spray of about seven feet with three-color lights on it, he said. Harris said the quote for the fountain itself was a little less than $5,000. The campus has the water capacity for the fountain but some electricity will need to be added, he said. "It's going to cost at the very maximum $2,000," said Harris. The university groundskeepers will maintain the fountain and the flower beds. "The maintenance on it will cost virtually

nothing," he said. Tawni Corwin, president of the Presidents' Club, said, "I think it (the fountain) is a great idea. Right now we don't have much to look at." When asked about the student body's opinion on the fountain, Harris said he did not receive any negative responses. "I asked five or 10 people what they thought of it (and) the senators asked some of their friends," he said. However, when The Vista asked 10 UCO students randomly what they thought of the decision, none of them had heard about the fountain. Eight were against the idea,

one thought it was "okay" and one didn't care. Most of the students who were opposed to the idea said they believed the money could be better spent on repairs, scholarships or parking. Kawsar Salam, UCO freshman, said, "In terms of an investment I guess it's okay because it will inspire fund-raising." April Coleman, UCO senior said, "I think it should go towards scholarships; it's impossible to get financial aid at this school." Harris and Nigh said they feel the decision was well represented because SGA is made up of elected officials and the Presidents'

Club represents all campus organizations. Harris said the fountain could open up great fund-raising potential for the university. Organizations are more generous with their donations when they have the support of the students, he said. Harris said he believed the fountain could inspire potential President's Partners. President's Partners is a fundraising program in which pledges of $1,000 a year are made for a specific number of years. The company that is building the fountain, Davis Pipe and Supply, has recently become a President's Partner, said Harris.

They will take $1,000 off the price of the fountain and pledge for five years. Some details about the construction are still under consideration, said Nigh. The fountain will only consume $7,000 of the allotted $9,000. The remaining $2,000 will be spent at the discretion of the organizations. SGA put $1,500 of their $3,000 towards their "big event," which is an Edmond community service project. This project involves many campus organizations and will be held later this semester.

—Reviews By David L. Hanigar/ TheVista Movie Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: +

+ 4 4 4

The following is a list of events taking place in the metro area for the weekend of March 10-12.

Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.

Concerts/Music:

Another King short story is 'mangled' Director of Poltergeist Tobe Hooper and star of A Nightmare on Elm Street Robert Englund have gotten together to make a movie based on a short story by Stephen King. Their final product is entitled The Mangler

Rating:

The advertisement for the movie reads "From the three masters of horror, the ultimate tale of terror is about to begin." Don't let the names fool you.

Viewers are more likely to be laughing than screaming in this picture. The movie is about a mangle (a machine for smoothing and pressing cloth, especially sheets, through heated rollers) that is possessed by an evil, bloodthirsty spirit. As the movie progresses, however, it becomes obvious that the demon does more than possess the mangle. The story follows the actions of the town detective as he investigates the laundry company and falls victim to the price the owners pay for power. With a name like Stephen King behind a movie about a

machine being possessed, many might expect something similar to Christine. However, The Mangler falls more into the category of a "slasher flick" with lots of blood and cheap acting. Yet even under the classification of slasher, the movie is a joke. The movie has so many problems, it would be hard to find a place to begin. Even "the shower scene," so common with movies of this nature, isn't worth a darn. For Tobe Hooper and Robert Englund there isn't much help. But for Stephen King, lets hope the book was better.

Friday • The Oklahoma City Philharmonic Pops Concert will feature David Byrne on March 10 and 11. Call 842-5387 for more information. Jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty will perform with the • Oklahoma City Philharmonic Orchestra at 8:30 p.m. on March 10 and 11 in the Civic Center Music Hall. Call 842-5387 for more information.

Hideaway 'reincarnates' suspense thrillers Many who experience neardeath experiences come back talking of bright lights and long tunnels. Some say they saw deceased loved ones and experienced feelings of peace.

Rating: elb fel• Sound neat? What if they went to Hell instead? Hideaway, directed by Brett Leonard, takes that thought a bit further. The main character, played by Jeff Goldblum, dies and is brought back to life by a doctor known for his resuscitating capabilities. However, because he was dead for such a long period, Goldblum suffers certain "side effects" when he returns—like supernatural

forces and visions of murder. The efforts he makes to save his sanity, his wife (played by Christine Lahti) and his daughter (Alisha Silverstone) from a killer keep the audience gripping their chair. The movie plays like a cross between a good suspensethriller such as Cape Fear, and a spiritual fantasy such as Poltergeist. But the result isn't quite as good. Goldblum fits the part and Lahti and Silverstone portray convincing characters. Even the directing meets a desirable standard. Nevertheless, their performances are bruised by the screenplay and the music. Although the scenes of the movie are put together in a way that demands the edge of the viewers seat, several questionable events and happenings make the story light and hard to swallow. A

psychic (Rae Dawn Chong) that can't spot a killer when he's staring her in the face and magical poltergeists battling each other in fantastic forms are such examples. In some cases, the viewer may even find himself wondering if he bought a ticket for a science fiction thriller. Music is critical in any movie, especially a suspense thriller. Yet, Michael Bolton both adds and subtracts from the movie. Although some scenes are enhanced by an equally suspenseful soundtrack, other scenes become lost in it. On the whole, the plot could have been much better. However, not everyone questions details and the reality of events, otherwise several movies would have never made it to the box office. For those people, the movie is outstanding.

Seminar 'opens eyes' to violence By Leslie Wakulich Student Writer

Taking steps to avoid a violent confrontation with her ex-husband, a UCO student attended a self-defense seminar sponsored by UCO's Association of Women Students Feb. 28 in Wantland Hall. "Michelle" asked that her name not be revealed. She is planning to leave the state after graduation. "Michelle" is also taking her seven year-old daughter and is afraid of what her ex-husband might do. She said she wants to know

how to defend herself if a confrontation should occur. Michelle said, "I'm afraid that if he (her ex-husband) were to catch me in the act of actually loading up the truck and getting ready to leave the state, that he would become violent." "I'm not going to have that happen..." she said. That's why she came to the self-defense seminar at UCO, taught by Matt Niles, a selfdefense instructor in Cushing. Eight other women also came to learn how to defend themselves from an attacker. Niles taught the women basic

self defense such as how to free themselves from chokes and bear hugs. He tells his students to, "go for the eyes and throat." Niles also teaches how to help prevent a possible attack. He says, "prevention is the key." He gives tips such as checking under your car as you approach it and varying your routine because, "an attacker will usually case his victim and learn her habits," he said. He said, "the main thing is a reality check... it opens people's eyes and they think, "Oh my God, that could happen to me." A
