UCO graduate `strikes back' by serving in Peace Corps

By Robb Hibbard Guest Writer Six years after a bolt of lightning almost killed him, UCO alumnus Reggie Bennett endured culture shock as a new Peace Corps volunteer.

In a few tough weeks of intensive training, he learned the culture, hisReggie Bennett tory and language of Palau, the Micronesian republic he was assigned to serve.

But during the first of his two years there, he had to bear an outsider's loneliness.

Palauan customs, Bennet learned, made it hard to form close relationships over a short period of time.

"Palau's culture is based on the group and not so much on the individual, like in the United States," said Bennet. "If someone succeeds above the group, the person is made fun of and knocked back down into the group. Someone who falls below the group is helped back into the group."

But that did not last long. One day, while Bennett was cleaning his room, he noticed mold on his leather suitcase.

"So I cleaned it and thought I'd take it to the Peace Corps office a few miles away where there's an air-conditioned room," said Bennett.

"So there I am with my suitcase, walking down the center of the village. Suddenly, all these people started emerging from their houses, saying, 'No, don't go, don't leave us.' From that point on, everything turned around."

A desire for travel, a little extra money and the need to feel productive impelled the Elmore City native to join the Peace Corps.

Gun control Concealed weapons bill may be passed Sept. 1 in Oklahoma

By Elizabeth Hew Staff Writer Questions overcame employees and students at UCO when a bill allowing citizens to carry concealed handguns was passed Feb. 27 in a ratio of 43-to-4, with one absent vote, on the Senate floor in Oklahoma City.

Entitled the "Oklahoma Self-Defense Act," the Senate Bill Three will bring changes that may result in a commotion from opponents as well as supporters of the bill.

The bill was scheduled for a hearing in the House of Representatives. If it is passed and is signed by the governor, it will be enacted Sept. 1, said a representative for the Senate.

Even though weapons have to remain concealed and are not allowed in public places, including campuses, much debate is going on around UCO concerning the bill.

"I would be surprised if it (the bill) became law," said Dr. John George, professor of political science.

"If it did become law, I would feel no safer than I feel now."

Director of the criminal justice department, Dr. William D. Parker said, "I don't think we need to carry concealed weapons. It will create problems for the police, the guy carrying the gun and the community at large."

THE VISTA EDITORIAL

-

Concealed weapons a threat to all society Guns. They're common in Oklahoma, from shotguns to .22s, gun ownership seems to be as much of an American dream as apple pie.

But the right to bear arms does not extend to casual usage and concealment.

The right to bear arms was granted to Americans to protect themselves against intruders—to guard against militia cornmon during the founding, of this country.

The right to carry concealed weapons is not something that deserves to be given to citizens.

With the possibility of the "Oklahoma Self-Defense Act" being passed. Oklahoma citizens could he given the right to carry concealed weapons. While the legislation would restrict carrying of weapons in public places. "competence courses" must also be taken to assure the person knows how to handle a gun.

The courses are a good idea for anyone who wants to purchase any weapon, and perhaps should be applied to all firearm purchasing requirements.

Applicants must also apply for the right to carry a concealed weapon. This is also a good idea that should be applied to ALL gun purchasers—NOT to JUST those who want to hide them. Let's enact legislation for ALL gun owners. it doesn't make much sense why the state wouldn't—except that the lobbyists would quit doling. out moneys to make our congressmen "decide" what's best for OUR society.

What are the benefits of carrying a concealed weapon?

Well, most police would agree firearm force is rarely appropriate for any situation. Firearm use is an absolute last resort.

Period. It should never be encouraged as otherwise. There are lives being destroyed at the receiving end of every bullet.

This bill being passed could indeed encourage more people to use deadly force instead of acting more reasonably.

Students, staff and faculty will not be able to carry firearms to school if legislation is passed, because it is public property: Concealed weapons are a threat to the safety of everybody.

Many shootings are by an assailant using the victim's own gun. Children misuse guns because they are easily available.

Children take guns to school. We should never leave an open door—under any circumstances—that would allow any person to be wrongfully wounded or murdered. Society should opt for another alternative—any alternative—first.

Gun violence, or even the threat of it, is not the proper way to "protect" anything. It may be the easiest in many cases, but it's not the best.

UCO's musical performance lauded

A

s we listened to the superb performance of the University of Central Oklahoma's Wind Ensemble and Concert Chorale Feb. 6 at the State Capitol, it seemed to evolve into a grand celebration of Oklahoma's talented young people and the Capitol building in its beauty...a reaffirmation that Oklahoma is indeed a great state.

Spirits rose and an awe enveloped the audience as the music filled the great rotunda,

much like a chorus and orchestra in one of the world's great cathedrals. The audience was so moved that many were mistyeyed as they heard music such as the Battle Hymn of the Republic in a splendid arrangement by Wilhousky. The talented musicians of the University of Central Oklahoma rank among the finest.

Our state officials were honored not only by the Nigh Institute but by the musicians.

In the Salute to the Leadership of

Oklahoma, President and Mrs. George Nigh exemplify the true spirit of Oklahoma...a caring couple who believe in uplifting the very best in our state. By choosing the State Capitol for the celebration, they shared the newly-lighted art and architecture of the building that belongs to every Oklahoman.

—Betty Price Executive Director State Arts Council of Oklahoma

Student upset over upkeep of parking lots

I

am a concerned com-

muter at the University of Central Oklahoma. Due to the recent weather we have had, I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the University of Central Oklahoma is primarily a "commuter school."

First of all, shortly after this semester began, we had some winter weather move through and it caused some concern about road conditions. As I began my hesitant drive to school, the roads in Oklahoma City and Edmond were surprisingly clear.

To my amazement, when I got to the UCO campus, I found that the parking lots were a solid sheet of ice, the sidewalks were impassable and the stairs next to the Student Union had ice all over them as well. It was real nice to see the facility and parking fees going toward a worthy

cause (ha ha ha). As for the most recent winter weather we experienced, I feel the university had the commuters put their lives in the hands of the weather once again.

It began snowing Wednesday afternoon. It did not stop until early Thursday morning, only to begin again later in the morning.

The temperatures were not rising but were remaining below freezing. Thursday morning I, among many other students, called Ext. 3601 to see if classes were canceled, only to find that they had been delayed to 9 a.m. I was not real anxious to venture out into the weather, especially not knowing if once I got to the campus I was going to he able to park in the parking lots or even if the sidewalks or steps around the university would be free of the icy conditions I experienced the last time.

Given the previous informa-

tion, don't you think classes for Thursday and Friday should have been canceled either late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning before commuters made an attempt to drive on the icy roads? Instead the university waited until commuters had an opportunity to drive in these hazardous conditions before canceling classes around 11 a.m. on Thursday! 'Some commuters had 9:10 classes, so some were already on campus, not knowing that they were going to have to turn right hack around and try to get back home.

Come on guys, someone needs to start thinking about the students! After all, aren't we the ones that keep the university going? Without us, you don't have a university! Please, think about us!

This is because if customers go into a store to buy something but do not find it, nine out of 10 times they will look somewhere else in the future, he said.

Howard. who got a degree in psychology from Marshall University. W. Va., first ventured into business 30 years ago. After graduating from college, he was about to accept a job offer in personnel with another firm. Getting into JC Penney Co. Inc. was a mere coincidence.

"The placement director called me one day and said 'Ed, I need you to take a minute to take an interview with the JC Penney Co.,' and I was very impressed with the individual doing the interviewing," said Howard.

"But unlike I should have done. I had not really studied the company he fore hand because I was only taking the interview as a favor to someone else. I had no interest."

H owever, H oward was so impressed with the interviewer that he went to the library afterward to study the company.

Finding Out the company was doing a mass expansion, he felt it was an opportunity to work there.

Howard started the training program working in every branch and level of the company.

Today, Howard is the highest ranking minority in the JC Penney Co. Inc. He complimented the company for playing a part in his success.

"The company, I think, has been very forthright and also very aggressive in minority hiring. Minority suppliers and I think that we have done a tremendous job, especially within the last five years, advancing and educating our entire popula-

tion of minorities," said Howard.

"It just feels good to be in the position, regardless of whether you are a minority or not. It's a goal that I have had in the past and it is just a good feeling to have accomplished that."

JC Penney started a major restructuring program in 1983 and finished it in late 1989. Prior to 1983, the company had a philosophy of one-stop shopping in their stores but a different approach is adopted today because customers have changed.

"Customers of the '80s wanted brands and were very brand conscious," said Howard.

"Today's customers are more value conscious, more so than the brand. If the brand happens to give them that value, that's fine, but they're not loyal to brands as they once were." /2:a

It is a reciprocal agreement, which means if the license is issued in one state it will still be recognized in other states, with all the laws applicable. This act does not apply to law enforcement officers.

One of the reasons why the bill was passed is that stories of gun crimes created by opponents of the bill have proven not true, said Sen. Frank Shurden, D-Henryetta.

Opponents are fearful this bill will result in more violence and petty arguments settled by gunfire. But research conducted in Florida shows the rate of crime dropped after a concealed weapons bill was enacted.

On the other hand, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Washington, University of British Columbia and the University of Tennessee indicates that restricting access to guns may reduce a community's homicide rate.

The study shows the risk of being killed with such firearms is almost five times as high in Seattle as it is in Vancouver, British Columbia, a city with stricter gun laws.

Twenty-one states are practicing the concealed weapons act currently and such proposals are under consideration in several states, including Texas, according to the Associated Press.

Based on a survey conducted by the National Association of Chiefs of Police, 86 percent of U.S citizens responded that they should be allowed to carry handguns for emergencies; 90 percent believed banning private ownership of firearms will not reduce the number of crimes; 86 percent agreed the main cause of crimes is the inability of the police to seize/arrest criminals.

However, despite the controversy, Shurden said this bill will save lives if criminals know they are facing an armed citizenry. Criminals know they are not as safe with weapons in the hands of citizens as they would be if the weapons were in the hands of law enforcement, since police are "trained not to shoot," he said. .4D

WORLD` Patient receives donation for bills LONDON (AP) — A 10-year-old girl who was denied statefunded treatment for her leukemia has accepted an anonymous offer to pay her medical hills and will probably start therapy in a few days, her father's lawyer said.

The case has attracted national attention — underlining, the moral quandaries of doctors and health administrators and the effective rationing of treatment in Britain's cash-strapped National Health Service.

The Appeal Court upheld a local health authority's decision to deny the critically ill girl a second hone marrow transplant and chemotherapy costing S120.000.

Nlichael Sinclair. lawyer for the girl's father. said the family has accepted an anonymous offer covering treatment for the girl. known publicly only as B to prevent her learning how ill she is.

Britain now spends S54 billion a year on its National Health Service, where most medical treatment is provided free by government-paid doctors.

Russia signs deal for $6 billion loan MOSCOW (AP) — The head of the International Monetary Fund and Russia's prime minister signed an agreement that paves the way for a 56.25 billion loan that is expected to boost confidence in the government of President Boris Yeltsin.

The signing by IMF managing director Michel Camdessus and Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, reported by the governments press service, came after Camdessus met With Yeltsin.

The government is counting on the loan to help finance the 1995 budget deficit and to bolster the government's plan for reducing inflation. which \\ aS 16 percent for January and 11 percent for February.

The IMF deal could also boost Russia's chances for a S600 Million World Bank loan to rehabilitate its oil industry.

Stolen Picasso painting discovered CHICAGO (AP) — A stolen Pablo Picasso painting worth 5650.000 was discovered in the back seat of a car by police officers making a traffic stop.

The 1928 oil-and-acrylic painting. titled "Tete. was stolen from an art gallery last January. It appeared to have a small scratch on it, but otherwise seemed none the worse for wear. said gallery co-owner Paul Gray.

The two men in the car were arrested and charged with felony theft.

The Picasso had been consigned to the gallery by the estate of a collector. Gray said he wasn't particularly surprised that it was found.

"It may be worth a lot of money, but the potential market is very small and very sophisticated and very hard to reach„ - Gray said. "So. it's a misguided effort to steal these kinds of things."

Witch's foster children taken away EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A woman whose three foster children were abruptly removed from her home says the action was motivated by religious discrimination — against witches.

Jessica Spurr, a licensed foster parent since 1991, says a case worker made an unannounced visit and removed the three toddlers — four days after a newspaper article detailed her induction as a high priestess in a pagan coven.

The state child welfare agency said the children were removed because she was a bad parent.

Joanne Lehrer, Department of Children, Youth and Families chief of staff, said confidentiality laws prevented her from speaking in detail about the case. A DCYF letter said "the children were eating food off the floor," and Lehrer said she was told the children were found unattended and in unsanitary conditions.

Spurr had cared for the children — a 2-year-old boy, 1-yearold boy and 1-year-old girl — for months. Spurr has asked the American Civil Liberties Union to intervene. She expects to defend herself at a DCYF hearing.

UCO Counseling Center to hold group sessions for depression

By Farzana Razak

Staff Writer UCO's Counseling Center is hosting a service group gathering for students suffering from depression, .3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. every Tuesday, through May 2 at the University Center.

The group will be led by Anita Sweetland, an advanced graduate student who is currently completing her practicum in community counseling.

The session is open to all without a fee. Those interested will have to contact the Counseling Center for registration. Participants will go through a screening that tells them what the group is about.

The first session was held March 7 and Sweetland said the response was good, although many people who called to regis-

ter did not show up.

"This is a learning group where people can learn more about depression," said Sweetland. "The objective of this group is to understand moods and feelings."

Depression is an emotional state characterized by intense and realistic sadness, she said. It affects a considerable number of individuals in our society.

Statistically, from three to six percent of all people will eventually have a major depressive episode in their lifetime.

When you get it (depression) depends on life situations, grief, loss of loved ones, change of lifestyle and even age and the changes that coincides with it," said Sweetland. ''It might also occur due to a person's genetic component," she said. "If anyone in your fam-

ily has a history of clinical depression, you'd probably get it too."

When extended over a long period of time, it is a disorder, she said. Participants will learn ways to defeat depression.

"They'll learn what are the types of depression, what are the effects and the techniques to cope with it," she said.

The session will include exercises where participants learn coping skills and the cognitive restructuring of how people feel and think.

There will also be group discussions and participants will be presented with informative materials such as different exercises they can do at home.

For more information, call Anita Sweetland at 341-2980, Ext. 2215. ,

Physics lab receives grant to surf Net With a little help from friends in UC0's math department and a S75.000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Dr. Weldon Wilson, assistant professor of physics, has been able to hook 20 computers in the physics lab onto the Internet.

We got the grant through NSF's laboratory instrumentation program," Wilson said.

The computers are set up in two labs for upper and lower level classes.

The idea initially was that the students would be able to analyze physics data they collected during an experiment, Wilson said.

However, the network has been set up so that all physics classes can be taught with the aid of Internet, he said.

Before departing the United States in July 1992, Bennett founded Open Territory, an Edmond-based wholesaler and mail-order company which specialized in products of interest to outdoorsmen. Bennett also worked as headwaiter at Garfield's Restaurant and Pub in Edmond.

He earned his bachelor's degree in marketing from UCO in 1991.

Bennett's experience in the business world led him to co-establish the Palau Community College Small Business Resource Center as part of his Peace Corps project.

"We began with a country-wide survey, then developed workshops and seminars based on those needs.

We offered one-on-one counseling with small business owners, help with putting accounting systems into place and advice with marketing decisions." ccording to Bennett, Palau's present customs and values make running a business difficult.

"Traditionally in Palau, material stuff has no value. People were always coming into my room and

A

taking things, and it wasn't stealing.

Material things belong to everybody," he said.

"What's valuable is information because it's rarely shared. Since (co-volunteer) Greg Lally and I were outsiders, it. was easy for Palauans to tell their business problems," Bennett said.

"If they were to tell another Palauan about their business problems, it would be seen as an extreme weakness."

Due to its proximity to the Philippines, Palau's past is colored

by German, Spanish and Japanese occupations. In October 1994, the republic was granted autonomy by its final foreign sovereign—the United States.

"There are a lot of different influences on Palau," said Bennett. "For example, although there are a lot of Spanish last names, Palau's culture most closely resembles Japan's.

"In Palau, I realized for the first time how important touch is," he said. "The culture didn't really touch among the adults. Relations between men and women also were strictly governed by Palauan customs," said Bennett.

"If a man and a woman are seen walking together in public, they are considered a married couple," he said. "Dates are never even discussed in public and are always done privately."

Bennett learned Palauan rules of

courtship through firsthand experience.

"There's a Palauan girl I'm going out with still—she's flying here in a

couple of weeks—and she's distantly related to my Palauan family, the family that 'adopted' me," said Bennett. "It's taboo to have any dating between two related people, no matter how far apart they're related.

"One of my Palauan sisters went and talked to my girlfriend and told her, 'You guys are related, you'd better be careful,"' he laughed. "I'll be a son in their family for the rest of my life." eadjusting to life in the U.S. has been almost as traumatic as adapting to life in Palau was, Bennett said.

"Getting used to Palau was hard.

I had to eat fish and rice three times a day. The kids looked filthy to me," said Bennett.

"Then I thought, 'Everybody's lived here, no one's had a problem, these kids have been dirty all their lives and before they were around, there were other dirty kids.' I just blew it off, eventually," he said.

"Being back in the U.S., I feel like I've filed for bankruptcy, lost everything, and never left the States," he said. "I was really alone in Palau for a long time and there were a lot of times I would've liked to have left my Palauan family. But same as you do at home, you just stick it out."

Peace Corps recruiter speaks with students

By Iris Knight Staff Writer Students received information about serving in the Peace Corps during a question and answer session March 8 at the University Center.

Bob Kirby, recruiter for the Peace Corps stationed in Dallas, fielded questions from students interested in fighting world hunger, disease and poverty. Kirby also handed out brochures and showed a video of several volunteers in action around the globe.

"The Peace Corps is a world-wide symbol of how our nation cares about people," Kirby said.

More than 140,000 Americans have been Peace Corps volunteers. Six thousand are currently serving in over 90 countries.

Kirby said the assignments are two-year commitments in community level fields. such as small business and cooperative development. Other areas of service include agriculture,

forestry, environment, fish culture, health and nutrition, education, engineering and industrial arts.

During their service, volunteers will receive a monthly housing allowance, free medical and dental care, transportation to and from overseas sites and 24 vacation days a year.

Student loans will be deferred during service in the Peace Corps, as well as partial cancellation of Perkins loans.

Upon returning to the U.S., volunteers will receive a readjustment allowance of $5,400 and job hunting assistance. Kirby said employment with the federal government is on a noncompetitive basis for Peace Corps volunteers and can often lead to jobs in the Foreign Service.

For more information on Peace Corps eligibility, call Kirby at 1-800-527-9216.

Brochures can be picked up at the UCO Career Placement Office on the third floor of the University Center.

Matthew Sweet. author of several solo albums. just released /00(7c Jim on BMG Records.

Pre-spring break shape-ups Rating:

How many would really consider themselves physically fit?

Different instructors will have different opinions on the type of exercise that best fits a certain body part. The exercises below are recommended by Chuck Bailey, UCO physical education instructor for weight-training and running aerobics, and assistant football coach.

How does Bailey tone and build firmer thighs?

To build the ham' string and quadriceps, squats are rec-

Matthew Sweet 100% fun smoothly.

His music stirs emotions inside the listener.

The slow and thoughtful songs combined with the upbeat grooves

take the listener through a range of emotions throughout the CD. Fans of Matthew Sweet will enjoy 100% fiin as it is one of :4z his better albums.

Garth's 'Hits' stereotype western style Garth Brooks, the country music star from Yukon, Oklahoma, just released a "greatest hits" album.

Rating:

Entitled The Hits, this CD

comprises 18 songs, compiled from Brook's six previous albums.

Garth plays a variety of country music.

The Hits has everything from two-steppin' dance tunes to barcured blues to country-style drinking anthems.

Some listeners may be surprised to learn that Brooks is rarely the sole writer of his pop-

ular songs.

Brooks is the stereotypical country-western singer.

His songs are often "twangy" and the speeds of the songs vary from easygoing country swing to slow acoustical melodies.

Although Brooks is capable of playing semi-technical guitar lines, the people who will enjoy his album most are only fans of country music.

Del Amitri's muse 'twisted' to fit audiences As far as understanding where they are coming from and what they are trying to say, Del Amitri is the most allusive band around.

Rating:

The influences that are recognizable on their new CD, entitled Twisted, are amazingly varied.

Among the noticeable influences are The Black Crowes, The La's, The Beatles and maybe even a little Stone Temple Pilots.

The music Del Amitri plays is hard to describe, much less classify.

The music, although full of influences, does not sound like remakes of old songs.

Del Amitri's music changes drastically from track to track, which makes Twisted a complex CD.

Twisted is the type of CD that the first time it is played, the listener sits there and doesn't know what to think.

After the second time, however, he will decide whether or not he likes it.

The hand comprises the usual instruments in a rock hand.

The band jams through its entire CD in its own "twisted" way which fans of rock n' roll, folk, country and alternative should try for themselves.

A

ommended.

Squats are done with thighs horizontal with the ground, that is with the knees facing front. Three sets of 25 repetitions are recommended.

How does he tone and get shapelier calves (lower legs)?

Calves can also be built and toned by doing the squats, or if preferred, toe raises can be done in 25 repetitions.

How does Bailey build strength in the arms (biceps and triceps)?

To build triceps, push-ups are recommended.

Arms should be close together, and females can do the push-ups with their knees on the ground.

Push-ups also work the chest. Twenty-five repetitions are sufficient.

For biceps, curls are recommended with the use of dumbbells 12 to 15 times. The recommended weight for both males and females vary depending on individuals.

"Choose the weight by how many times you can do it," Bailey said.

How does Bailey recommend strengthening the abdominals (stomach muscles)?

Crunches are a good way to build the abdominals. Lie on the floor and support the head with your hands. Make sure the neck is supported and your eyes are looking at the ceiling, then lift the upper body in repetitions. Do them for 25 times.

Leg-lifts can also he done. Lie on the floor with arms rested on the chest. Lift both legs together to mid air and hold for two seconds. Repeat 25 times.

How do you firm your chest (bust) and increase your cleavage?

To build the chest, push-ups are recommended ''' for both males and females.

According to Mademoiselle magazine, females can increase their cleavage by lying on the floor with arms spread to the sides. Hold on to a five to six pound dumbbell in each hand and lift them close together in the air in front of the chest. Repeat eight times.

Se an As hby / The Vista

Sweet plays alternative rock music that is as good or better than most bands around.

100% fun is a colorful mixture of slow, thoughtful songs and quick-paced rock and roll.

Sweet plays bass guitar and lead guitar and is complemented by two sets of musicians that alternate on each track.

Sweet's soulful, fluid guitar lines, along with his lyrics and singing voice, are the main attraction in this CD. All Sweet's songs have melodies that flow peacefully and calmly.

Sweet never gets too rambunctious, even the fast songs flow

And-a-one, two, three... (pant), eight... One more... ugh...
