Equity officer to field questions on rights

Up, up and away!

Dimit discusses purpose on campus

By Roy Howe Staff Writer Rick Dimit, now in his second year at the university as an equity officer, will answer questions at 2:40 today in the Seminole Room at the University Center regarding balanced hiring practices, evaluations, promotions, tenure and dismissals.

Dimit explained his purpose at the university to the Faculty Senate last week where he fielded questions regarding students' testing rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and his role in faculty tenure complaints.

"Unfortunately, in our society today, we are facing a lot of complaints and lawsuits," Dimit said. "I handle internal complaints primarily from two different agencies: The Department of Education and the Office of Civil Rights."

He said these two agencies are vehicles that students use to process complaints.

During his employment at the university, Dimit said he has dealt with three separate civil rights cases at the University of Central Oklahoma.

"We have had the Office of Civil Rights

here on campus on three separate occasions," he said. Two cases involved complaints against faculty members and the other is an on-going gender equity investigation dealing with the mens' and womens' sports programs.

Dimit investigates these matters internally and issues an opinion.

Dimit said he also works with complaints by employees through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and to assist with issues that deal with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

"Part of my job is to work with the students who have disabilities and need to have accommodations in the classroom," he said.

Faculty Senate member David B ass, with the College of Math and Science, told Dimit that he had recently approached UCO President George Nigh inquiring about guidelines for students qualifying for special needs in test taking. Bass said that he understood this to be a "gray area."

Dimit said the question of reasonable accommodation and guidelines for students who qualify for ADA assistance is an area See

uppose a person g, ' into a restaurant, pays for his meal and doesn't eat his peas. The management refuses him dessert.

Suppose a person goes to a university, pays his tuition and passes his test but doesn't attend class every day. The administration refuses him a grade.

Sound ridiculous? Every semester professors hand out syllabi that say two or three absences and drop one letter grade. If a student's sick, he must bring a note from his doctor, no excuses accepted.

The average age of students at commuter colleges is 28 years old.

Many of these students have children, jobs, marriages...a life.

When are universities going to accept that they have injected infantilism into the adult educational system by mandating attendance and update their policies to fit in with the lifestyles of the nineties?

After all it is the students who are supporting the university throu2h tuition and fees. Do students only get what they pay for when they allow their lives to be controlled and dictated to?

Even if a student is in class every day, attendance is no guarantee he will pass the course. Pass or fail, it is ultimately the student's responsibility.

An 18 year old is considered an adult in the eyes of the law. He can go to war, get married or CIO to jail, but he can't cut a class.

If a student can skip classes and still pass a course, why shouldn't he be allowed to do so?

Universities tend to use a certain percentage of adjunct teachers-teachers who usually teach at high school levels.

Maybe no one told them that the students at universities h: ',., graduated from high school. Maybe no one told them that many o ° them have moved away from home and are responsible for their ow I decisions.

Administration has no set guidelines for attendance. In mw t cases, an attendance policy is set by the department or the individual instructor.

Fortunately, there are some professors who realize that university students are people too. They have no policy of enforced attendance.

Maybe they don't need a rapt, trapped, audience for the edification of their saggin g ego.

They have the maturity to realize that everyone is responsible for their own decisions and give each individual the choice of free will.

Maybe for otners there is life during the semester, but students will have to wait for a note from their mother to find out.

Popular 'kill the messenger' syndrome surrounds militant leader Farrakhan

By Voncile Davis Student Writer

B

mare of those who seek to suppress the fredom of speech.

That is the overt message lectured in journalism classes at the University of Central Oklahoma.

But people have challenged that freedom since the dawn of America.

The New York Times, for example, seems to be engaged in propaganda to further defame the "notorious" Louis Farrakhan, president of the Nation of Islam and the militant leader who was recently accused of killing Malcolm X . But contrarily, it is drawing more attention to this infamous man by printing entire pages about him, as was done in the March 3rd edition.

In an editorial on March 8, the Times all but called the leaders of the NAACP stupid for inviting Fan'akhan to a leadership conference this spring by saying that "...the civil rights organization is playing into Mr. Farrakhan's hands," "...its leaders are oblivious to how they are being squeezed," and that "...they are making a mistake in not stiff-arming Mr. Farrakhan..."

Also, in keeping with the "kill the messenger" syndrome, the Arsenio Hall show was threatened with cancellation last month if he brought Farrakhan on as a guest.

Well obviously, the leaders of the NAACP and Arsenio have exhibited considerable knowledge about the contents and meaning of the First Amendment by allowing Farrakhan to speak; and the author of that editorial is oblivious to its contents.

Farrakhan, like every other American citizen, has a right to speak. No one will be influenced or abide by his teaching unless they want to.

There is no harm in wanting to convert criminals to constructive citizens or wanting to liberate downtrodden people, as Farrakhan attempts to do. But sometimes there is harm in the way one goes about doing it.

On the other hand, perhaps Farrakhan will be influenced by the conversations of other black leaders at the conference. It is possible that he could be swayed to change his way of thinking.

After all, the one whose footsteps he treads in, Malcom X, originally taught in the same manner that Farrakhan now teaches. But someone's conversation channeled his (Malcom X's) hatred into positive thinking. It's not too far-fetched to think that Farrakhan cannot also be changed.

If there is to be unity among blacks and other races, there must first be unity among the leaders of the various races. Farrakhan is a leader, and he is black. Therefore, he is a black leader—whatever his cause.

Maybe Farrakhan does preach "hatred," but what is it that he hates, evil or evildoers? One might infer that he preaches hatred against a particular race, but perhaps it is racist actions that he opposes and hates only those who carry out those actions.

Maybe he does fight bigotry with bigotry and hate with hate.

That certainly is no way to accomplish harmony, but which hatred is the greater evil, the original or the latter?

There is no harm in wanting to convert criminals to constructive citizens or wanting to liberate downtrodden people, as FaiTakhan attempts to do. But sometimes there is harm in the way one goes about doing it.

So far Farrakhan's mouth has been his biggest enemy. When delivering the message to his followers, he mustbe careful that it is taken in the right light. If it is not, it could result in the deaths and destruction of many, as has been done in race riots throughout American history.

If his messages are conceived wrongly, then others, such as The New York Times, will indeed seek to "kill the messenger," perhaps justifiably so.

The realistic still life watercolor paintings by Ferguson will be displayed in a onewoman show at the historic Overholser Mansion through April 15.

"It's the first time we've had an art show in the mansion," said Bill Fullhart, Overholser site administrator.

The paintings are displayed throughout the man sion, blending with the authentic and historic decor. They feature delicate magnolia blossoms and cheery pansies, roses, iris— even turnips.

A recent trip to Arizona and New Mexico inspired Ferguson to add southwestern watercol-

ors to her repertoire.

The show came about through the efforts of UCO history student and Overholser docent, Terry Griffith. A former student of Ferguson's, Griffith felt Ferguson's paintings would compliment the ambiance of the mansion. He suggested the possibility of a show to Fullhart.

The Overholser show adds to Ferguson's credits, having shown in several galleries, most recently in the Donna Nigh Gallery at the state capitol.

Ferguson received her B.A. from the University of Science and Arts in Chickasha and her master's from the University of Central Oklahoma. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from both institutions.

She has been listed in "Who's

Nigh Institute to host 'Train the Trainer' workshop to equip students as trainers Jason Webb

Student Writer The Nigh Institute of State Government will host a "Train the Trainer" workshop in April at the University of Central Oklahoma Home Economics Building.

The training program was designed to equip people to be train-

ers for the Department of Human Services and other state agencies, said Lynda Earls, administrative assistant of the Nigh Institute.

Some types of training that the universities and state agencies are requesting are management, skills, time management, customer service, team building and computer training, said Earls.

After completing the first round

of workshops in February, officials of the Nigh Institute decided to begin the second round and open it up to the general public for a $295 fee.

Dr. Rick Sullivan, UCO professor, will lead the workshop.

Sullivan has presented at the American Society for Training and Development for the past four years and is currently writing a book called "Trainers Guide."

Voncile Davis Student Writer I-le wears a wild, multi-colored wig as he jumps around on stage making baseballs crumble and liquids disappear. They are part of his act to capture the attention of young students while he demonstrates physics phenomenon at the three sciences institute scheduled this summer at the University of Oklahoma.

"Dr. Stewart Ryan is a world renowned physicist whose passion is to enthuse young people about physics in a way that is fun, exciting and interesting," said Dr. Linda Norton, director of continuing education academic programs at OU. Better known as "Dr. Indestructo" because of his wild sense of humor, he will instruct the "Properties of Matter: Physics by Inquiry" institute, a threeweek program designed to accommodate 24 to 30 science teachers, beginning June 6.

This program will provide teachers an opportunity to develop curriculum and classroom activities in math and science through field studies, laboratory exercises, lecture and hands-on experiences.

"We try to accommodate all teachers," said Norton. "Our programs are for minority audiences,

Norton said this is the eighth year that OU has held similar institutes.

"We have touched the lives of more than 10,000 students in Oklahoma," said Norton. "Hopefully we can change their lives by giving them more choices."

"Also, we will be hiring minority mentors to accompany teachers during the workshops," Norton said. "These students will act as role models to other students and, during the fall, these same role models will go into classrooms and work with students one-onone."

Participants for the institutes will be selected by competitive application and will be analyzed according to their field of study and the audience they serve.

Those selected will receive a weekly stipend to help defray expenses. They may also receive a college credit.

o, me and my good buddy Bubba Sue are on our way back from the Lazy E Arena, where Bubba Sue was practicing some new bronc bustin' techniques, and I've got the Mercury pushin' 90, 'cause we're trying to get back before dark.

Bubba Sue says something that I don't quite catch. I look over and ask her, "What," just in time to see her eyes go wide, staring straight ahead.

I turn my attention back to the road, but it's too late, and I smack a raccoon!

I see it in the rearview mirror, still twisting around on the pavement, balled up and bloody, and I wonder if the animal's in pain, or if it's dead and the wriggling is just muscle spasms.

And then Bubba Sue says, "Stop the car! Let's go back for it!"

"No way, " I tell her.

We've been through this before.

Bubba Sue will actually pick up, cook and then eat critters she's found on the road.

"C'mon," she says. "Go back for it!"

I just keep on drivin'.

Bubba Sue tries to bribe me as she guzzles down another Milwaukee's Best.

"I'll make you a coonskin cap," she coos.

"I don't want a coonskin cap," I tell her.

"Aw, c'mon."

"You can't eat dead animals you find on the highway," I say finally.

"You can if they're fresh," she parries, "and that coon is as fresh as they get."

"That's gross."

"No it ain't. Wastin' meat is gross."

Aw, Jeez, here we go! She's gonna try and make me feel guilty now by telling me how the American Indians used every part of the buffalo they killed: Bone, muscle, sinew, intestines—all of it; while white hunters slaughtered thousands and thousands of them for nothing but the hides, leavin' the carcasses to rot on the ground.

What I hate most is that it's starting to work.

I'm thinking: Hell, I slaughtered that fully little masked guy back there, and I'm not even gonna use its hide for a coonskin cap!

It is wastin' meat to just leave the coon there . . . but still . . .

An instructional booklet containing warm-up activities and discussion questions accompanies the video to provide an overall class lesson, Simonds said.

She sent the authors of the textbook a copy of the video, and they showed it to their editor at Houghton Mifflin. The publishing company will distribute copies of the video to the colleges and universities who adopt the text, she said.

She also signed a contract with UCO to market the video and give the university a percentage of the profits to go toward the upkeep of broadcast equipment since Simonds and the students used UCO' s facilities, she said.

Simonds is the producer and moderator, and Robin Ropp, a UCO senior oral communications/ public relations major, directed the video and adapted the script from the textbook, she said.

She said she was pleased with the level of cooperation from both OU and UCO. "It was a very well-organized, collaborative effort on the part of both universities to produce the video," Simonds said.

New litter of maned wolf pups born at zoo

By Janet Runge Staff Writer

The nursery walls gleamed softly under the fluorescent lights.

A nursery attendant in surgical greens rocked and cuddled one of her charges while the newest additions to the nursery took an afternoon nap.

Moments later eyes opened, four mouths yawned, and eight pairs of legs stretched.

The maned wolf pups were awake.

The nursery at the Oklahoma City Zoo takes care of the four wolf pups who were born Jan. 23 and an infant gorilla named Nia who was born Dec. 21.

Fran Lyon, curator of mammals, said this was the first litter of pups for the four-year-old female maned wolf named K.C. The wolf cubs, two male and two female have black wispy fur that will turn golden-red as they mature.

"Maned wolves are rare and endangered animals, so it was recommended by the Maned Wolf Species Survival Plan (SSP) that we hand-raise the pups to help insure their survival," said Lyon.

"We place monitors in the dens to see how the pups are being cared for by their mother," said Lyon. "It appeared she could take care of them, so next time she will be allowed to raise the pups herself."

"SSP recommends keeping males with the females, but we pull the males so there won't be aggravated circumstances," she said. "The female wolves are quite capable of raising the

pups on their own."

When the pups arc older the SSP will decide what approved institutions the pups will be moved to, Lyon said.

"They have the best interest of the species in mind when they make their recommendations," she said.

Lyon said that the wolf pups imprint on people easily so they limit their handling by humans.

The pups were bottle fed a milkdog replacer formula when they were born but are now being weaned onto Puppy Chow, she said.

"As they get older they will be fed a meat and fruit diet. They are omnivores and in some seasons, eat fruit almost exclusively," she said.

Maned wolves are named for the mane which encircles their neck and are native to South America.

"They are endangered because of the destruction of their habitats," said Lyon.

Adult maned wolves mark their territory with a skunk- like smell, said Lyon.

"They look like a cross between a fox and a wolf," said Lyon.

Lyon said that the long legs of

the maned wolves enable them to see over tall grasslands and help them to pounce on prey.

"They look awkward when they run, but they are not pack hunters," she said. "They live

solitary lives."

Lyon said the wolves are subject to the same diseases as dogs, so they are vaccinated for Parvo and distemper.

There are hybrid wolves that

people keep as pets, but wolves can never be dogs, said Lyon.

"They are more aggressive than dogs."

The maned wolf pups will be on display daily in the nursery of the Children's Zoo.

Bronchos sweep series with Antelopes

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma baseball team started with strong pitching and ended with powerful hitting in a three game sweep of Nebraska-Kearney over the weekend.

Senior right-hander Kaleb Schroeder pitched a four-hitter as UCO captured the first game of Saturday's doubleheader 2-0. The Bronchos followed that with a 7-3 victory in the second game, taking advantage of seven hits and fine pitching performances from Greg Hall and Brian Nichols.

UCO then outlasted UNK 2316 in Sunday's game as both teams combined for 34 hits.

UCO improves its record to 8-3 on the season.

"We've shown signs of good offense and we've shown signs of good defense," said Head Coach Wendell Simmons. "I think we just need some consistency. We haven't had much practice time lately so it's hard to perform on a consistent level."

Schroeder improved his record to 2-1 for the year with his shutout victory Saturday. Schoeder struck out eight in the seven-inning contest and didn't allow a runner to reach third.

"He's our number one guy," said Simmons. "He's capable of shutting people out. We haven't

being able to score many runs for him to back him up. But he'll go out and give you a good performance on the mound every time he goes out there."

The Bronchos scattered eight hits and got a two for three effort

Lady Bronchos place third

By Rachel Schnitzer

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma softball team went 4-1 and came in third in the Missouri Southern Classic last weekend.

The Lady Bronchos began the tournament by defeating Central Iowa 2-0. UCO scored both runs in the first when April Bradley hit a two-run homer.

Senior pitcher Jody Miller shut down Central Iowa throwing a four-hitter and giving up one walk.

Miller also recorded seven strikeouts in the victory.

Game two saw the Lady Bronchos run-rule South Dakota State 7-0. UCO was led by Rachelle Green botfi on the mound and at bat. Green pitched a twohitter and went 2-3 at bat. Lynda Thomas and Bradley also shined at the plate.

UCO then rolled past South-

west Baptist 10-0, powered by 13 hits.

Bradley went 3-4 and scored two, and Jennifer Daggs was 2-4, scoring twice and driving in one.

Tammy Thomas went 2-3 while driving in one and scoring one.

Lisa Oliver added to the pounding with a solo home-run.

Kristi Kimbrell improved her pitching record to 2-2 with an outstanding performance from the mound, allowing only three hits in five innings.

Game four saw UCO beat Missouri Western 5-2.

Center fielder Stephanie Cook went 2-2 with a triple to lead the offense. Kimbrell went 1-2 with a double, as well as picking up the win by pitching five innings and allowing only one run. Miller started the game but came out at the end of the second.

The Lady Bronchos then dropped their last game of the tournament 4-2 to host Missouri Southern.

After four scoreless innings the Lady Lions pushed one across to give them the lead. UCO came back in the bottom of the sixth, scoring two and taking the lead going into the final inning.

Missouri Southern came back in the top of the seventh to tie the game and send it to an extra-inning. The eighth saw MSSC score two and hold the Lady Bronchos scoreless to seal the victory.

Oliver led the offense going 23 while Bradley, L. Thomas and Cook went 1-4.

The Lady Bronchos improved their overall record to 7-6 with their performance.

UCO will travel to Pittsburg, Kan. to compete in the Pittsburg State Invitational Friday and Saturday. It will be the third tournament of the season for the Lady Bronchos who have a combined 6-5 record in tournaments so far this year with one third place finish.

Another Faculty Senate mem ber Herb Giles, with the College of Business, asked Dimit if he involves himself in tenure complaints.

"No," Dimit said, "But I do know of problems involving that.

Some faculty members have come to my office and indicated that they feel like they have been discriminated against in the tenure process."

He said that faculty members are welcome to file a complaint in his office, but he does not replace the Faculty Grievance Procedure.

Dimit said three separate cases regarding discrimination issues within the tenure process have been raised through the Faculty Grievance Procedure since he has been at the university.

He said that any individual on campus, whether it is a faculty member, a staff member, a student or a visitor is welcome to come by his office and "raise those issues," but "I am not involved in the grievance procedures," Dimit said.

Dimit's office is located in the Lillard Administration Building in Room 202.

Scholarship entries available for fall

-

By Jojo Takyi-Micah Staff Writer

Applications for fall 1994 University of Central Oklahoma Foundation scholarships are available now at the Foundation offices, Room 102, Evans Hall. Deadline for submission is April 29, 1994.

"Most of the scholarships that we have are available to students with a grade point average of 2.9 or higher," Carolyn D. Wall, office manager for theFoundation said.

"Financial need is even greater, we look at that first," she said.

An applicant is required to write a letter in the application packet explaining why the money is needed.

The other thing that the committee takes a look at is on-campus activity, but they also keep in mind that a lot of these are commuting students and they are parents and they work, but if a student has the opportunity, they look to see if they have joined something that supports the university.

The UCO Foundation was founded in the early 60s as a branch of the alumni. In the 80s, it was run part time by its executive board on a volunteer basis. In October 1991 the first full time executive director was hired.

The Foundation is to provide

academic money for students out of donations, Wall said.

There are three types of donations, a one-time spendable account, which normally comes from individuals goes out just as it is. Then there is the rotating spendable account, which is never enough to make a permanent trust out of, but will come every year.

This normally comes from banks and other institutions.

The third type of donation is the $10,000 or more. The money is invested, and the scholarship spins off the interest, she said.

"One of the most emotional things about the foundation, and one of the strongest, is that all the scholarships are created, and all these kids go to school because somebody lost someone they loved."

"This is the place where we try not to let students fall through the cracks. It's the one thing we believe in and the most strongly.

This office is the place where academic dreams come true," Wall said.

In addition to the scholarships, the foundation also supports a number of campus activities. The foundation is currently supporting the placement office and a number of other departments with various programs.

New repayment options open to loan borrowers

By Michelle Peller Staff Writer Student loan borrowers can lower initial monthly payments and reduce their overall borrowing costs through several new or enhanced repayment options offered by Sallie Mae, a private financial services corporation.

"Today, borrowers have much more flexibility in the amount they pay each month—and even in the total amount they will owe—so that they can better manage their budgets and avoid delinquency or default," said Lydia Marshall, Sallie Mae executive vice president.

Sheila Fugett, director of financial aid at UCO said, "I think the more options a studen t has...I think there is less chance of default."

Sallie Mae's new 'Select Your Terms Service" provides borrowers with a guidu comparing all repayment programs available. It also offers personalized telephone counseling to help borrowers choose the repayment program that best accomodates their needs.

The "Select Your Terms" guide informs borrowers who are having problems making payments that they may also be eligible for a deferment (a temporary suspension of loan payments for those unemployed, disabled or return-

ing to school or the military) or a forbearance (a temporary postponement or reduction of payments for an agreed upon time).

Standard Repayment Plan: This allows borrowers to make monthly principal and interest payments that remain level throughout their repayment term.

Select Step Account: This allows borrowers to make lower payments in the first two or four years and still pay off their loan within the standard 10-year repayment term. Initial, interestonly monthly payments are more than 40 percent lower than payments made with a Standard Repayment Account.

Smart Loan Account: This allows borrowers to combine all eligible loans, including loans not serviced by Sallie Mae, into a single, consolidated loan with a single monthly payment.

The Smart Loan Account gives borrowers the lowest monthly payments for the longest period by offering initial, interest–only payments that can be as much as 40 percent lower than standard level payments and by extending the repayment term.

Great Rewards Program: This enables Stafford Loan

borrowers who make their first 48 scheduled payments on time to reduce their interest rate by two percentage points for the remaining term. This is available to borrowers who began repayment on or after July 1, 1993.

Smart Rewards Program: This enables loan consolidation borrowers who make their first 48 scheduled payments on time to reduce their interest rate by one percentage point for the remaining term. This is available to borrowers whose Smart Loan Account enters repayment on or after July 1, 1993.

Direct Repay Plan: This allows borrowers to authorize an electronic transfer of money from their bank account to Sallie Mae for their monthly student loan payments. Borrowers with Direct Repay will automatically receive a 1/4 percent interest rate reduction on their loans, beginning May 1. Because Direct Repay helps borrowers keep current with payments, it can help those eligible for Great Rewards or Smart Rewards achieve those benefits.

Borrowers whose loans are serviced by Sallie Mae can call 1800-643-0040 for assistance in selecting the plan that works best for them.

Raising hybrid wolves is a howl for UCO professor Burglar to pay for scaring parrot STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — A court has ordered a burglar to pay $370 in damages for scaring a parrot by breaking into a house.

Since the burglary last year the parrot has been afraid to stay at home alone and its owner is forced to drive it to relatives when he leaves his house in Arboga in southern Sweden, the national news agency TI' said.

The court in Koping ruled Monday that the thief, who was not identified in line with Swedish press regulations, should pay the transportation costs as damages.

Explosives disrupt rail travel SEVENOAKS, England (AP) — Rail travel between London and its southern suburbs was disrupted Tuesday morning after police found an explosive near the tracks outside the Sevenoaks rail station.

British Transport Police said the device was found on an embankment under a bridge. Bomb disposal experts secured the explosive and no one was injured, police said.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for planting it, and a police spokesman said no warning was given.

Train travel was halted through the busy station, 21 miles southeast of London.

Prom goes on without principal

By Janet Runge

Staff writer Dr. Allen Bird, assistant professor of journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma owns and raises hybrid wolves and thinks they make better pets than dogs do.

He's been raising wolves for six years and his first was a female he bought in Arkansas.

"We got the female about six years ago, I saw an ad in the paper that said hybrid wolf pups, so I drove over and looked at them," said Bird.

"I saw this little female pup and shejust looked up and said, 'I like you,' so we bought her and took her home.

Bird said that he would take the wolf with him when he hunted.

TB declines; first drop in 10 years NEW YORK (AP) — New cases of tuberculosis dropped for the first time in a decade last year in New York, the nation's most-infected city.

"It's not the end of the battle but in many ways only the beginning. We recognize that this may just be a blip on the radar screen," city Health Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said Monday.

In 1993, New York City's TB rate of 44 per 100,000 people was four times the national average. But new cases fell 15 percent from the year before to 3,325, the first decline since 1984. Nationwide, new cases dropped 5 percent.

The city has relied on expanded use of monitors who make sure patients take their medication; a special four-drug regimen to counter drug-resistant TB strains; and forced detention of patients who refuse to cooperate in treatment

Together the two females had 19 pups. Bird sold all but one of the pups and one of the females.

Bird said his male wolf, Toby, is more affectionate than a dog.

"Other dogs will wag their tails, but Toby lets you know without a doubt that he's glad to see you," he said.

"Regardless of what's happened during your day he likes you and appreciates you. That unconditional love is there with him more than with a dog."

"When the word wolf comes in, people immediately go back to their old fears," he said.

WEDOWEE, Ala. (AP) — The high school prom is on, and the principal who talked of banning interracial couples is out, at least for now.

Hulond Humphries was suspended Monday by the Randolph County School Board while it investigates complaints he told a mixed-race student she was a "mistake" and said there would be no prom if blacks and whites showed up as dates.

Humphries' supporters said his comments were misinterpreted and were a result of his frustration with racially motivated fights at the 680-student school, which is 62 percent white and 38 percent black.

Many blacks at the hearing said the episode was just the latest in a long history of biased acts by Humphries.

NEW YORK (AP) — Inmates attacked guards with weights and benches in a melee at a jailhouse gymnasium. Thirty-one guards and prisoners were hurt.

It took 35 officers about an hour to control the 77 inmates in the gym at the city's overcrowded Rikers Island jail Monday night.

Sixteen officers and 15 inmates were injured, Correction Commissioner Catherine Abate said. The most seriously hurt was a guard who was hospitalized in serious condition after being hit in the bead, Abate said.

The melee began when two inmates attacked another prisoner. A guard intervened and tried to confiscate a homemade knife but was outnumbered, officials said. It took two waves of reinforcements to end the fighting.

Wolves have a bad image from stories like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs," he said.

"There is no record of an unprovoked wolf attacking a human here on the North American continent," he said.

"People do things stupidly," he said. "There are cases where a parenthas been silly enough to put a child into a situation where it could be harmed by the wolf hybrid."

Bird said that if a family with children want to own a hybrid wolf they should be willing to use some common sense.

"Wolves have strong jaws and sharp teeth, but I don't think they are any more dangerous than a large dog," he said.

Bird said that wolves are proud animals, they're extremely loyal to their pack and people who raise a wolf from a pup becomes that wolf s pack.

"This is goOd in some ways, but it has its drawbacks," he said. "If I decide I can no longer maintain my wolf because of a different environment, I may not be able to sell that wolf or give him to someone else. My wolf may not accept them because he's bonded to me and my wife."

Bird said that his wolf may be shy around some people and hide in his pen, but be friendly to other people as long as he is with them.

"I keep my wolves penned but it's more to protect them from people than to protect people from them," he said.

He is also listed on the President's Honor Roll.
