`Good news' if you have a fear of flying

If recent air crashes—which claimed the lives of 264 people in 1994—has fueled your fear of flying and made you forgo "taking to the skies" this spring break, here may be some good news. A spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Alan Pollock, said in an article in Mademoiselle magazine (April 1995) that flying is still one of the safest ways to travel. It is estimated, reported the magazine, that one out of every 250,000 Americans is killed annually in an airplane crash, while one out of every 5,000 dies in an automobile accident. Larry Laudan's The Book of Risks supplied the statistics.

Science department looking for options Professors discuss redesign of science buildings, look for funding alternatives By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer Having been told that they would be high up on UCO's fund-raising list, the faculty of UCO's science department is upset that the responsibility for finding money to finish off the lower floor of the new science annex has been left up to them. According to current guidelines, construction on the building will be started in the fall. The science department will try to obtain a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to complete a certain number of the laboratories, said Dr. Darry Carlstone, professor of physics. About $9,000 is needed to finish each laboratory. Approximately six to eight labs will need finishing, Carlstone said. "The department knew from the beginning
there was not going to be enough money to complete the building, which is being financed by the state bond issue," Carlstone said. Last week, professors from the physics, biology and science departments met to discuss writing a proposal for the grant. "We put in a proposal to the NSF last year, however, one of the mistakes we made was trying to put the original plans together over the 1993 Christmas break. We were much too rushed and the proposal was turned down. "One of the reasons (the proposal was turned down) was that the architectural firm did not have good prices for us. We were highly criticized because our architects came across as not knowing what they were doing," Carlstone said.

UCO needs to fix present needs first, then look to future All of the mud, fences, wooden walkways and construction hoopla are supposed to be designed to improve the campus and prepare it for future growth and improvement. However, the university doesn't have the funding to complete the project. President George Nigh said. Inflation and increases in costs above what was predicted have resulted in a strained budget and lack of funding. Several projects are suffering from the inadequacy. The education building has already taken a square-footage cut, professors are having to raise money on their own to finish something the university promised them. KCSC is looking at ways to make it with a budget cut, driving instructors are recuperating from layoffs and faculty morale is low because of the lack of pay raises. WHAT'S NEXT? Funding is a problem because not enough money was allotted for each project. Who planned this and why is he not losing his job rather than UCO instructors? If funding was not a problem at the time, then why were projects held until it was? The university is not ruled by a king and therefore Nigh cannot be blamed entirely. But with so many heads together in the planning, it is hard to imagine the university plagued with unpredictable crises. Effective planning, kept promises and a little consideration are not too much to ask from an employer or a university. People know this. They tell othersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's called a reputation. If a university can't meet the needs of the people now, it may not need the space in the future.

Students gain `vested interest' with home-ec Some students in the home economics department at UCO have a "vested interest" in the basic clothing construction class taught by Dr. Tana Stufflebean. A collection of vests sewn by students is on display at the second floor of the Home Economics Building. One of the reasons students' work is put on display is that it shows them what looks good on mannequins and what looks better displayed by the hanging or pining method, explained Stufflebean, assistant professor of home economics. "Fifteen of those students had never threaded a sewing machine before and I'm really proud of them. "A lot of people can sew but don't know basic clothing construction," Stufflebean said. "We try to show in clothing construction how it is related to quality, how to buy and what the consumer is going to buy. "People in fashion merchandising need to take this class, it helps them as a fashion buyer to be able to know the quality of the garment. They need to know if the cost price of the garment is worth it, and most of all, will the customer think it is worth it," she said.
Writer raises questions about decisions made by Student Government Association By Cynthia Chung
Staff Writer In a letter to The Vista (March 9), SGA President Ben Harris writes that his job description as a student-elected official involves making many decisions on our behalf.
Column He has tried his best to represent us, he says, with "integrity and honesty." I trust he means what he says and means it well; nevertheless I have a few questions that are begging to be answered. To date, SGA's coffers are brimming with $23,000 of student activity fees (this amount does not include current fees received), with another $3,000 bestowed by President Nigh in the name of "community service and education." This is what I want to know: How will our money be spent—on who, or what, where, when and why? The last I've heard, SGA has three projects in the works: the de-regulation of parking, the installation of
electronic voting machines and a more accessible SGA office (The Vista, Jan. 26). I applaud the move to revise existing parking policies—we all know changes of some sort are long overdue. Yet I question the necessity of implementing an electronic voting system which may cost us up to $20,000. Come Election Day, voters will be drawn more by the qualifications of the candidates—and their track records as promise keepers—than state-of-the-art technology. The old system of manually-manned ballot boxes works well enough as it is— as the saying goes: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And what exactly does Harris have in mind when he said he wanted the SGA office to be a "more accessible" one? Does he mean a physical extension of the office at the University Center or a mental projection of it in our minds? Will our money be used in SGA's effort to reach out to us? Is that not then a mere euphemism for interior redecoration? How about the latest pro-

r
and other financial-aid programs, but there is always someone whose need has not been met—and the money will help greatly. SGA, PLC and the Presidents' Club call the decisions they make representative of the entire student population. But are they? How can decisions that are made without our knowledge and our approval be done on our behalf? Are these student organizations (and their leaders) working towards "the greatest good for the greatest number," or are they only looking out for Number One? I will not deny that a fountain gracing the campus front will look nice, especially if I, too, have my name inscribed on it (as the clubs intend to have theirs.) But it will do little to rouse the "community" spirit or lift the shallow morale of the students, staff and faculty at UCO. What may do the trick, however, are better plans— with us , the student body, in mind.

ject on SGA's agenda—the erecting of a fountain before the flagpoles that front the campus? SGA, along with the Presidents' Leadership Council (PLC) and the Presidents' Club, have slated $7,000—out of the $9,000 given to them in support of student activities (The Vista, March 9)—to go towards the fountain. The project has been heralded by Harris as a "community service"—one that has the support of "five or 10" UCO students and a few friends of the senators. That is hardly an adequate sample size, Mr. SGA President. Applying the standard five- percent margin error for research, one has to interview at least 384 UCO students to obtain a fairly accurate picture of what we, the student body, think about the fountain. Contrary to what Harris may think, $9,000 is an awful lot of money to some of us— it can pay a full semester's tuition for at least eight financially-needy students. It may be true the campus already offers scholarships

Parking changes approved By Farzana Razak Staff Writer In a meeting held March 13, the Student Government Association (SGA) passed and approved a resolution to change the policies and procedures of the University Parking Services in an act referred to as the Parking Reform Act of 1995. The act, written by the parking reform committee, states that students should have ample access to as many parking spaces as possible within reasonable limits. The different distinctions between types of parking
spaces, such as resident and commuter parking, leads to confusion and a decreased number of spaces available, said Keith Weber, a member of the committee. The resolution also stated that the number of parking spaces currently allocated for each group is disproportionate to the needs of the respective group. It was stated, as part of the act, that the confusion between resident and commuter parking will be resolved with the creation of parking spaces for an all-student parking. Also discussed was that sticker decals be eliminated
and all parking decals be made into "hang tags." Because of the current confusion, the committee suggests the proposition of a Mulikin Rule, allowing students to get out of one parking ticket per semester, said Weber. Another issue in the resolution was the establishment of some form of division of parking decals for full-time and part-time students without increasing the price. It was also resolved that the faculty and staff parking lots be accessible to students at 4:30 p.m. instead of the current 5 p.m. for those with 4:40 p.m. classes.

Edwards said they taped the show in two parts. "The first was a 10-minute segment on the end of the show that aired before the program I was on. The second taping was the actual show," he said. Edwards used his middle name "Renado" as a stage name for the taping of the show. Oprah's staff thought it sounded `cooler' than his first name, he said. Edwards explained the theme for the program. "Well, basically she (Oprah) was going to take some nice, attractive men and present them to certain girls. The girls had to send in videos and the guys then chose who they wanted to go out with," he said. Edwards said because his date and he lived so far apart (she lived in Washington, D.C.), they just had their date in Chicago after they taped the show. "We went to a really nice restaurant, all 18 of us (nine men and nine women). We had lunch and exchanged phone numbers," said Edwards. "I'm going to try and keep in touch with everybody...I don't think that she (Oprah) expected everyone to make a serious love connection," he said. Edwards said he was really nervous about being on "The
my aunt for my Oprah Winfrey grandmother Show." I wouldn't go on who was cook"I mean at the moment it was like, Rikki Lake or ing neckbones and wild `I'm in the Oprah Geraldo because onions, a deliWinfrey studio. the topics they cacy in the What am I doing here?'," he said. choose are too South," he said.

"I wouldn't go on Rikki Lake "On the video Oprah mistook

"They treated me like royalty. I stayed in a nice hotel and a limo picked me up for the show," he said. "They didn't pay me to be a guest on the show, they just paid for my expenses. The only thing I had to pay for was a souvenir at the airport," Edwards said. "Right now I haven't felt any impact, like doors opening for me, quite yet. However, it has been a good conversation piece," he said. "It's nice to get a little publicity and I can see how it is with movie stars just by the little bit I got," said Edwards. Edwards talked about the attention he received here at home in Oklahoma. "My mother is eating it up. She is the envy of a lot of her friends. She's got more miles out
of this than I have...I'm trying to be more modest with it and that's why people say to me, 'Why didn't you tell me you were going to be on the Oprah Winfrey show?,"' he said. Edwards commented on the future and how being on the show changed his life. "I don't know what kind of career I want, I just want to get my degree. I'm taking an acting class... and I've been in contact with Fullerton Modeling and Casting Agency in Oklahoma City," said Edwards. "This (show) made me see that those people (famous people) are just normal people. I expected Oprah to be a superwoman, but she's just like everyone else and that made me think anyone can accomplish anything if they go for it," he said. "I have a feeling I'll be on TV again. I don't know what for, hopefully it's a good topic...I think it's my calling," Edwards said.

Decorated veteran weds at age 102 LONDON (AP) — A World War I veteran won the heart and hand of a woman nearly half his age by telling her about his adventures. George Brumwell Jameson, 102. and Julie Robinson, 53, were married at a registry office near their home on the Devonshire coast southwest of London, British newspapers reported. Robinson saw Jameson appear in a BBC television documentary about the war in 1993, wrote to him seeking more information and eventually traveled to his home. "George is the funniest and kindest man I have ever known," the Daily Mail newspaper quoted her as saying. ''He is a darling." Jameson is believed to be one of only nine surviving members of the British Expeditionary Force sent to France in the opening days of the war in 1914. He rose to the rank of captain and fought in some of the worst battles of the war: Ypres, the Somme, Cambrai and Vimy Ridge. He won a Military Cross, one of the British army's highest honors. during action on the Piave in Italy.
Bus company will end segregation MONSEY. N.Y. (AP) — A commuter bus catering to religious Jews agreed to remove a curtain separating passengers by gender after a woman refused to give up her seat so that men could pray. The Monsey Trails bus company had hung the curtain in the bus aisle so the men would not be in sight of women during prayer. Sima Rabinovicz, who is Jewish but not Orthodox, chafed at the centuries-old religious dictate. After months of meetings between her lawyers and the bus company, a settlement was reached. The curtain will be removed and there will no longer be segregated seating. Rabinovicz complained after an incident in December 1993, when a group of men praying was so large they wanted to use part of the women's side. They asked her to move and she refused.

China will reuse fuel for plutonium TOKYO (AP) — China plans to begin reprocessing nuclear waste into plutonium within five years, a Japanese official said. The official, a member of Japan's Energy and Natural Resources Agency who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Tokyo supports the plan, though it would run counter to U.N. policy. Plutonium, highly radioactive, can be used to make bombs. China already has nuclear weapons, and said last year it expected to conduct a few more tests before joining an international ban on experimental nuclear blasts. China will complete construction of a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant by the year 2000, a senior official in the China National Nuclear Power Corp. told a Japanese delegation in February.
Castro declares "apartheid' over PARIS (AP) — Greeted with fanfare at the presidential palace, Fidel Castro declared his groundbreaking visit to France marked the end of the "apartheid" the West had imposed on Cuba for 36 years. "This morning, touching French soil, I said to myself, 'This is it. Apartheid is over,"' Castro told President Francois Mitterrand during a luncheon at the Elysee Palace. The Cuban president received trumpet-and-drum fanfare as he arrived at the palace and reviewed Republican Guardsmen. It was the first time he had been a guest of one of the major Western powers. Mitterrand clasped Castro's hands for several moments as photographers and TV crews recorded the encounter between two of the world's longest-serving heads of state. Castro, 68, took power in 1959. Mitterrand, 78 and ailing with cancer, will end his 14-year presidency in May.

The architects are the ones that are currently being used on campus renovations, he said. In February, Dr. Carlstone and Dr. Ronald Miller, chairman of UCO's physics department, attended a NSF seminar in Washington, D.C. The seminar encouraged institutions to be innovative in the science field in order to meet and enhance research goals for undergraduate students, Carlstone said. The NSF wants the applicants to show they know what they are doing in terms of supporting undergraduate research projects. They want scientific innovation, Carlstone said. "This campus has never really supported faculty to be innovative, so we are crippled when we go into these things. "Our academic structure does not allow or encourage us to do or be the kinds of faculty members we ought to be," Carlestone said. "I go to these seminars and I see so many institutions that are far ahead of us because they have academic leadership and we don't. I'm fed up with the way this institution is run and I don't care who knows it," he said. Faculty members come back from these seminars realizing they do not satisfy the basic requirement for competing for these grants, Carlstone said.
We need a faculty development program that means something. One that makes you feel like they care, and they're out there to support you instead of letting you dangle. —Dr. Darry Carlstone UCO Professor "What we need is real institutional support, not just lip service. "We need a faculty development program that means something. One that makes you feel like they care, and they're out there to support you instead of letting you dangle. There is little evidence of that kind of cooperation here," Carlstone said. The department has met with Joyce Mounce who wants to proceed with another proposal. The next grant period will be about a year away so there will be
lots of time, he said. Carlstone said it is not unusual for departments to raise money through a grant program. The department was told several times that raising money for this building would be the number one priority of the institution, he said. Carlstone said he feels that if the
department is going to compete for a NSF grant, the building needs should be curriculum driven. "We have met with architects who have designed science buildings and they are so far ahead of the architects we have here on campus. They (the other architects) really know what they are doing; they have ideas," he said. "We were promised that we would be high up on the list as far as fund-raising goes and are disappointed that we are not getting the money that we had hoped for," he said.

Baseball team looks for road wins By Scott Moore Sports Writer

Bronchos grab honors Seward, Sanders recognized as LSC's best By Mike Erwin
Sports Editor Honors came in abundance for the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team on Tuesday when the Lone Star Conference announced its postseason awards. Broncho forward Junie Sanders was named the LSC Most Valuable Player after averaging 21.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. The Brooklyn, N.Y. native was second in LSC scoring and first in rebounding. After being selected as the preseason MVP, Sanders lived up to expectations by having the fourth best single-season scoring mark in school history with 601 points. Joining him on the All-LSC first team was point guard

Zoderick Green, a 6-0 senior from Duncanville, Texas. Green scored 20.3 points per game and averaged 7.0 assists. He holds the UCO single-game assist record with 17 and sank at least one three-pointer in 36 straight games. He also tied the school and conference record in career three-pointers made with 212. Sanders and Green were coMVPs in the LSC Tournament and both were selected to to the all-tournament teams for the LSC and also the South-Central Regional. Both are candidates to be AllAmericans after being chosen for the South Central All-Region Team by the NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches) and CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America).
Junior guard Jason Ervin and junior forward Tyshon Fisher were honorable mention selections on the All-LSC team. Ervin netted 14.2 points per game while Fisher added 14.1 for the 23-7 Bronchos. UCO's Jim Seward won LSC Coach of the Year honors for the second time in his eight years with the Bronchos. During that time, his teams have compiled a 143-87 record. After a rocky three years, the Bronchos turned the corner in the 1990-91 season and have since gone 113-35, including a trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight during the 1991-92 season. This year, UCO advanced to the finals of the South Central Regional before being eliminated by Central Missouri State, 117-112.
The road swing that seventhranked Central Oklahoma began last weekend will continue today and run through spring break, interupted only by a brief homecoming tomorrow. Today, the Bronchos (8-3) travel to Pittsburgh, Kan. for a 1:30 doubleheader against Pittsburgh State before hosting Nebraska-Kearney in a 1 p.m. doubleheader on Friday. The Bronchos will then spend their spring break on the road with six scheduled games in four days. UCO will face Delta State (the team that eliminated the Bronchos in last year's regional tournament) for a 2 p.m. game in Cleveland, Miss. on Monday before traveling to Clinton, Miss. for 1 p.m. doubleheader with Mississippi College on Tuesday. The Bronchos will then travel to Livingston, Ala. for a 1 p.m. contest with Columbus on Wednesday and a 2 p.m. doubleheader against West Alabama on Thursday. UCO will return home Tuesday, March 28 for a 1 p.m. doubleheader with Fort Hays State. The Bronchos will be looking to improve their road record, as their first taste of the road this past weekend was a sour one. The Bronchos produced a 1-3 record at Hays, Kan. in a fourgame series with Fort Hays St. and Central Missouri State Saturday and Sunday. It was a crucial early season test for the Bronchos, but UCO dropped 6-2 and 7-2 decisions against FFISU and a 3-0 blanking against defending Division II national champion CMSU. "Against Fort Hays, we didn't play well and they played great," said UCO Head Coach Wendell Simmons. "They
played like world champions against us but against Central Missouri they commit 10 errors and lose. People are probably going to have their best games against us." UCO entered the weekend with 83 runs on 75 hits in seven games but was limited to just eight runs on 21 hits over the weekend. The Bronchos hit just one homerun during those four games after amassing 11 in a 7-0 start. "We hit the ball hard but they were making great plays against us," said Simmons. "We faced some good pitching and plus, when you have 40 and 50 mile per hour winds in your face it's tough to hit effectively anyway." Pitching remained strong at Hays, however. The Bronchos received solid performances from Brian Nichols, Greg Hall, Loan Dollins and Justin Bernard. As the Bronchos only winning pitcher of the weekend, right-hander Nichols (3-0) hurled a four-hit complete game in a 4-3 victory over CMSU on Sunday. Nichols struck out seven and walked two. Left hander Hall (2-1) struck out 10, walked five and gave up three hits in a 3-0 loss to CMSU Saturday. Hall leads the team in earned run average with 1.50 and strikeouts with 24 while Nichols is second with and ERA of 1.96 and 13 strikeouts. Opponents have a batting average of .129 against Nichols and .155 against Hall. "We had great pitching performances in all four games at Hays," said Simmons. "This past weekend was good for us. We went 1-3 but every time you lose it's a learning experience. The positive is that we went on the road for the first time this year and players have to learn how to play on the road."

UCO students, faculty get few hours of weight room, swimming pool use By Rachel Schnitzer
Sports Writer Student activity fees and tuition money are being used to fund the swimming pool and weight room in Hamilton Field House despite them only being open to the students and faculty for a combined four hours a day. The money for the upkeep of the pool comes from the physical education budget. With classes scheduled from 8:40 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., open recreation begins at 2:30 p.m. and ends at 3:45 p.m. Fitness swimming, consisitng of laps around the pool, is from 3:45 to 5 p.m. "We only provide lifeguards and open it up to the faculty and the students from 2:30-5 p.m." said Dr. Karen Dowd, chairperson of the health, physical education and dance department. The pool is used by an outside organization for the remaining two hours of the day. "I believe that it is rented to the Kerr McGee Swim Team,"
Dowd said. "But, that's done through the athletic department. I am only responsible for that swimming pool during the classes and when we open it up for open swim and lap swim." Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon said the team is charged $25 an hour for use of the pool. "This is their competitive swim team, they are not in there for recreational swim," he said. Students also pay for the weight room, but it is open for students and faculty for only an hour and a half a day. This year's budget shows that the athletic department received $310,899 from the campus activity budget, which is collected from student activity fees. "All the weights that we have purchased since I have been over here have either come from either one of the athletic budgets or from a special appropriation," Wagnon said. Pumping iron can only be done from 7 to 8:30 a.m. daily except Mondays and Wednesdays due to classes.
Classes are also scheduled from 8:40 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and from 5:30-6:20 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. "In the midst of the basketball and wrestling season, if we had open evening hours, they would have been canceled many different times," Dowd said. "The athletic department prefers that there not be any open facilities during athletic contests." The football team has the room reserved from 12:30-5:30 p.m. daily until spring practice begins after spring break. Assistant football coach Duane Dirk runs his team through their afternoon workout. "Even though it's set up for us, it's kind of athletic time," said Dirk. "We have players from every sport in there and a few faculty." The football team will move outside after spring break and the physical education department will amend the weight room hours to 1:30-5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. A

While the rest of us enjoy spring break, the UCO golf team will be swinging into action at the Bear Creek Intercollegiate, Mar. 20-21. Returning All-American Dustin York will lead the No. 10 Bronchos into the spring season. Last season, York finished in the top ten in ten of 15 tournaments including two tournament titles and finished 18th at the NCAA Division II Tournament. "He's the leader," said Skip Wagnon, UCO coach. "He's the guy that kind of keeps things going." Junior Jason Freeman will fill one of the top spots after starting throughout his career.

season with a pair of sixth-place finishes and a 74.1 average. Junior college transfer David Hines will fill the last of the top three spots this year. Hines has been a pleasant surprise for the Bronchos with consistent play and all-around skills. Two redshirt freshmen, a senior and a true freshman will battle it out for the remaining two spots. Senior Sean Lee has been a part-time starter throughout his career at UCO and will probably
see some action this spring. Duncan Burke and true freshman Jon Lee will vie for one of the remaining spots. Redshirt freshman Joe Mann should also see action. "We've got four guys that are going to play for that spot," Wagnon said. "We're going to play four more rounds this week to determine who those other two guys are. They're all real

FEAR continued from front page That places traveling by car far more dangerous than going by air, although Pollock said he was not surprised there are more fearful fliers than there are terrified drivers. "When you're at 30,000 feet in an aluminum tube, you feel you don't have control," stated Pollock in the article. The NTSB's 1994 accident tally—published in the Feb. 17 issue of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)—indicated that US Air, with three mishaps, chalked up the highest number of accidents. Northwest Airlines and TWA, with two accidents each, follow closely behind. Based on the tally, Delta Air Lines is the safest aircraft carrier in 1994, reporting zero accidents and incidents. An
incident is an event in which safety was threatened without injury or damage. Spring break-ers looking for a good time on a tight budget may be pleased to know that Southwest Airlines offers the lowest fares. On a national average, one-way fares on Southwest Airlines begin from $79, compared to $367 on American Airlines, $287 on Delta Air Lines and $202 on Continental Airlines (WSJ, Feb. 17, 1995). One can also secure lower rates by booking air tickets in advance, said Shirley Calvert, owner of Genesis Travel Agency at UCO. For example, a trip to Dallas on either Southwest Airlines, American Airlines or Delta Air Lines will cost $67 if tickets are reserved 21 days in advance, said Calvert.
AROUND TOWN She said regular prices for the same tickets can he as high as $108 on weekends and $158 on weekdays. If you have factored an airplane trip into your spring break plans, here is a tip on how to cope with a disconnected or delayed flight: • Rule 240 of the Domestic General Rules Tariff states that most airlines have to reschedule a passenger for the next available flight, even on a competing airline or in first class, if that would help him or her arrive earlier at the destination (WSJ, March 3). • Ask to see rule 240 when stonewalled by the counter clerk—each airline has to carry a copy of the regulations (WSJ, March 3). —By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer
Scholastic tournament to be held More than 2,000 high school students will test their brain power potential in various topics at the UCO Scholastic Tournament March 31. The event is the largest high school meet of the year. The competing schools are divided into three classes. Class I consists of schools with 1,000 students or more, Class II consists of schools with 400 to 999 students and Class III
consists of schools with 399 or less students. Students will compete in academic topics such as English, foreign languages, mathematics, natural sciences, business and social studies. The tests will be held in buildings around the campus, depending on their topics. For example, the English and foreign language tests will be held in the Liberal Arts Building. The series of tests will run
from 12:40 to 5 p.m. Students will take the tests in every subject and will be ranked according to their score. Once the tests are completed, instructors will turn the results in to the registration department to be tallied. Each school has its own sponsor for the event. For more information, call Peggy Foster at 341-2980, Ext. 2215.
