Regents' decision: Nigh Don't read his lips yet

Institute due new leader

By Penny Owen

Staff Writer

Former Gov. George Nigh will resign from the Nigh Institute of State Government when he steps into the University of Central Oklahoma presidency on July 1, but the Institute will not cease. Plans now exist to hire a new president and expand the Institute's on-campus functions.

Nigh would not reveal who the candidates are for the Institute presidency, however, he confirmed that some UCO staff and faculty members are being considered.

A decision for the position should be made within the next two weeks, said Nigh.

The Institute, which mainly sponsors government-related events on and off campus and provides lectures to the UCO College of Liberal Arts, will now expand to other UCO colleges and use broader topics, Nigh said.

"We are trying to enlarge the Institute to cover all college areas," said Nigh, "And have it involve someone (in charge) on campus."

Senate seeks painless polls

By Sam Powell

Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma's student senate elections have been marred by a myriad of allegations ranging from apathy to fraud, but senate officials say that is a thing of the past.

During Monday's regular meeting Speaker Carole Crawley said the senate has taken steps to ensure that this semester's elections come off without a hitch. She said they even went so far as to place an ad in The Vista listing the polling places and times.

"We had a big problem with it last semester," she said.

This term students will be able to vote for the candidate of their choice at various locations during a threeday election period. Polling times are set for 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday.

Deputy Speaker Jason Cambell addressed what some senators had termed a parliamentary abyss after the senate became bogged down with procedure during last week's meeting.

"I agree that parliamentary proce-

dure is important, but if we are going to have time to discuss all of the issues that are brought up, then you have to lighten up," Cambell said while presenting his deputy speaker's

report. "We all need to work together to make sure everything is done properly." V

Elections for student senate positions are being held next Monday through Wednesday. What follows is a listing of the candidates and polling places and times.

President: • Chris Folsom • Joaquin Stevens Vice president: • Jason S. Campbell • Carole Crawley Senators College of Liberal Arts • • • •

Kimberly Morales Romona Starback Jo Waddle Dewayne Holford

Senators College of Education • Debra Ross • Dian Eck

Former Gov. George Nigh said Tuesday that when the time comes to don the mantle as the 18th president of the University of Central Oklahoma, he wants the guard to change smoothly.

Although some changes are in the works, Nigh said he could not elaborate on his specific plans right now.

"There are some things I want to do, but am I going to tell you — No," he said. "I want to have all my ducks in a row."

Nigh said he feels it is too early to announce any specific plans because his situation could change by the time he takes office, and he does not want to get caught with a quote like "read my lips."

"It would be inappropriate to say what I'm going to do until I look at the budget," he said. "It wouldn't be appropriate to say you are going to build a building or pave a parking lot until you know how much money you've got."

Nigh did say he had worked out some details concerning personnel. Lillard's personal secretary will retain her current position, and one of Nigh's two secretaries will go with him when he becomes UCO president.

He said that when he takes the helm as UCO chief he will relinquish the compensation he receives from the Nigh Institute, and will be paid only the president's salary.

He said he has someone in mind to replace him as head of the Institute, but he reiterated his wish to not yet mention anything specific.

He said he wants to work with the current administration and better learn what the role See Nigh, page 4

Where are we going? e slowly walks along the stretch of highway bundled up in an old army surplus blanket. His hair is gray and tattered, and his salt-and-pepper beard is unshaven. The tips of his faded black shoes can just barely be seen from underneath his untailored black pants.

He probably didn' t expect it to be so cold. An unexpected cold front blew in last night and now the weather, which has felt more like California weather than the traditional 40-degree March temperatures, is back to normal. "The wind chill is now 3 degrees below zero," the radio weatherman announces.

Traffic is at a stand-still, but the 60-something man keeps heading south. Where is he going? Does he even know where he is going?

Commuters who travel Oklahoma's highways to get to work and school each morning will almost always see people like this abandoned man. Maybe he just doesn't have transportation, or maybe he's homeless.

Do people care about this man with all his possessions stored in one raggedy back pack? Should people begin to care?

In 1990, approximately 31,000 Oklahomans were identified as homeless. And many more are not accounted for.

Some don't feel compassion for the homeless. These people say the homeless deserve their bad fortune, and are probably receiving money from hard-working taxpayers through the state's welfare program.

But in reality, only 10,000 of the 31,000 homeless receive food stamps. Approximately 1,000 of the homeless people receive Medicaid. And less than 100 families receive money from Aid for Families with Dependent Children.

Eugene Daniels, director of Oklahoma's state-run homeless shelters, said even though drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and job lay-offs contribute to the growing numbers, the major cause for the increase in the number of homeless people is the lack of affordable housing in the state.

Even though Oklahoma is supposed to be one of the cheapest places in the United States to live, more than 118 state-run homeless shelters are currently filled to capacity. And Daniels said there are plans to build even more shelters because of the growing number of homeless people.

People call them bums, drunks, hobos and vagabonds, but no matter what they are called, the homeless are still ordinary people who need ordinary things to survive.

Oklahoma commuters need to do more than speed by the wandering, tattered man who walks down miles and miles of concrete to an unknown destination, and the many others who increasingly inhabit the state's highways and bridges.

A simple solution to the homeless problem may not be as visible as the vagabond, but instead of relying on temporary shelters to take care of the homeless, Oklahomans must begin searching for a more permanent answer. Like the vagabond, the problem can no longer be ignored.

Older student offers advice

u

niversities should not allow non-traditional students into class. It's not

fair.

First of all, we older students are a lot smarter than the freshout-of-high school set. We've experienced life with its unforgiving capital "L." My employment in a nondegreed, going-nowhere position made me crave that piece of sheepskin. The bitter-tasting reali zation of "this is it" gave me an edge the traditional student doesn't possess.

This has been displayed over the past weeks with several wellwritten letters on topics ranging from racism (the pros and cons on the Miss Black UCO pageant) and morality (condom distribution on campus). Great names such as Magic Johnson and Dr. Martin Luther King have been tossed around until you can't remember if Magic once ran for Miss UCO or if Dr. King played for the Lakers.

Well, fellow students of UCO, I have scoured the Vista for another timely and controversial topic for you news monkeys to debate: crocheted swimwear. What the hell is it?

Each time I eagerly open a new Vista to peruse the always timely, often cheesy letters to the editor, I am accosted with some anorexic Pocohontas in a doily with feathers on it.

Those of you not in favor of Miss Black UCO, or those in a moral paradox such as I've found myself in, run for the damn title. I think it would be cool to have an Asian, male Miss Black UCO. On the condom topic, for those of you not in favor, the damn machines never work anyway; just ask any woman who's tried to rip the feminine protection models off the wall during "that time of the month."

VIEWPOINTS

Don't whine vote arking garages. Classroom space. Condoms on campus. Blah, blah, blah. Many issues seem to concern UCO students today, as letters to the Vista indicate.

But sniveling and whining about what students want means nothing unless students take action.

How many students know who their student senators are?

How many know what issues are before the senate?

How many students care?

It seems that the student population bothers to voice an opinion only when they are being inconvenienced. If a student has to walk seven minutes to avoid a parking ticket, then parking becomes a life and death issue which must be resolved at any and all costs. Unless students are directly effected, the welfare and operation of the university is a burden being carried solely by faculty and administration.

Elections for the Student Senate are being held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. If past elections are any indication, voting will be minimal. Last fall, of a student population of 14,000, only 141 students cast ballots. If UCO were a country, the school would have been overthrown by commies long ago.

Some have accused the student senate of failing to represent the student body fully. But senators cannot represent their constituents if the only time students speak out is when someone is morally outraged at the thought of birth control devices on campus.

Obviously, if students don't know the issues, or which senators support which issues, then it would seem that students don't know a whole lot about the issue in general, and should therefore keep their mouths shut.

Such issues as condoms and parking are secondary concerns right now, with economic problems and tuition increases looming over the picturesque UCO campus. Students should look at the problems that concern the campus in general, and give student senators the third degree on how these issues should be handled.

Voting in student senate elections ensures an active legislative body, working its hardest to provide what's needed for every UCO student. A student population with a voice means a student senate with a purpose.

Gutsy journalism

I

have no doubt he drugged me. I have no doubt he raped me. * * * It starts subtly with a hug on the shoulder.

Kissing on the forehead ... Eventually the hand comes up around your armpit and grabs your breast. * * These quotes, from unidentified sources in a story recently printed in The Seattle Times, hit Washington Senator Brock Adams like a wrecking ball on a condemned building, sending the walls of his political career tumbling down.

Eight women accused the senator of everything from sexual harassment to plying them with a mixture of drugs and alcohol to rape. Each of the women refused to reveal her identity.

That alone would have scared many newspapers away from the story, but not The Seattle Times, which conducted an intense three-and-a-half-year investigation.

The cases dated back to the '70s and '80s. None of these women filed complaints with the police. But the newspaper did acquire signed affidavits from seven of the eight women involved stating they would testify in court should the paper be sued. The publication also interviewed others who had worked for Adams who said they knew of what was commonly referred to as "Brock's problem."

While many people say newspapers are wimps and use a "prissy" approach when covering controversial issues, The Seattle Times sent a different message.

Michael R. Fancher, executive editor of the paper, weighed the threat of a lawsuit, and possible losses in advertising, against the public's right to knOw about their senator's alleged misconduct. They had, Fancher noted, an abundance of testimony from a variety of sources and they refused to sit on it just because they couldn't add the certainty of 8 x 10 glossy photos.

Many papers would have considered the risk too great, but not The Seattle Times.

The story ran March 1, 1992.

At a time when a majority of American journalism quietly tip toes around intricate issues, that took guts.

King lived and died for rights / n response to Martin Luther

King deserving a holiday, I personally don't know what constitutes a person being worthy of this honor, but I do know this person has changed all of our lives in one way or another. As a result of his efforts, along with many others, I can sit where I want to sit, I can eat where I want to eat, and I can choose to attend any academic institution I please.

In regard to his sainthood, I pose this question, who has labeled him a saint? Did he? Indeed he was just a man, an imperfect man as we all are, for I know of only one perfect man that has walked the earth, and this is Christ

Jesus. In the words of my Saviour, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone..." John 8:7.

In regards to leadership, your morality affects your philosophy.

If a man can convince a group of people not to fight back with physical force no matter how much you're hated, no matter how often you're spit on, no matter how badly you're beaten and oppressed, but to love your enemy back more and more and to pray that their blindness may be removed, I consider this person a great leader. Not many have the

Strength to Love.

It was (Norman) Schwarzkopf's job to lead, it was King's life. He did not choose this role as a career move, he was chosen by the creator of time. If Martin Luther King had lived the life I live, he would probably still be with us. If he had not spoken up, if he had not lead, if he had not fought non-violently, he probably would not have been assassinated.

Because he took a stand and brought about a change that many were not ready for, his life was taken. A martyr dies for the cause, Martin Luther King lived for it.

Letter draws more response

I

'm writing in response to Tom Chasteen's letter that appeared in the Vista on Feb. 25, "Condoms promote perversion, dorm resident says."

Tom stated that the people who would benefit the most are homosexuals (gays) in the male resident halls. He forgot to mention how it would effect the other two groups that reside on campus, lesbians in the female halls and the heterosexuals in all the resident halls.

Tom, gay males are not the only ones who need to use condoms. It is true that gay males do make up a large portion of the AIDS cases only in the United States, but heterosexual and lesbian cases are rapidly rising. HIV is an equal opportunity infector. It knows no bounds or morals.

In several places, Tom made it sound as though only gays have "unauthorized overnight guests" and with condoms easily available, this would turn into an orgy.

To follow this frame of mind, would I be correct to say that when the heterosexual man or woman has a "guest" in their room after visitation hours and condoms are easily available, this would also turn into an orgy?

I ask the question, what are the consequences of gays getting together to be roommates? Don't heterosexual men request to be roommates also? I would rather have a friend as a roommate that I could talk to and understands how I feel, than a stranger who I don't know.

Yet again, Tom made it seem that only homosexuals break the rules with "overnight guests."

Then by saying if the resident halls went coed the heterosexuals could also take advantage of the condoms and break the rules. Please, Tom, don't make me think that the heterosexuals of the male and female resident halls have never had "overnight guests." Was studying the only thing on their minds?

Another question might be, what is considered a coed hall? Men on one floor and women on another, men in one room and women in another — same floor, or men and women together in one dorm as roommates? I have never seen men and women roommates (strangers) together in one room in a coed hall.

Just because the dorms are not going to become coed is no reason not to have condoms available.

HIV isn't the only thing you can

catch from unprotected sex, but also unwanted pregnancies, herpes, gonorrhea and other types of sexually transmitted diseases.

Tom ended his letter with a statement saying that if condoms were easily available on university grounds that his resident hall would become a haven for homosexuals. Tom, is it a haven now? I think not!

It appears that GLASS got put into Tom's letter as a postscript to help his argument. But how he mentioned it appears to show that Tom has never been to a GLASS meeting to see what their views and goals are. At this point, Tom, I extend an offer to you to attend a GLASS meeting and see what it's all about.

As a final postscript, it appears that the prevailing wind of Tom's letter is severe homophobia.

Thank God, homophobia is a socially learned response, meaning this type of response is corrective through education.

Pageant-bashers pooh-poohed

I

n regard to Mr. Watson, Mr. Medawattage, Mrs. Redding and definitely last, "the great" Dr. John George, I'm sure you've been applauded for stating your opinions. But, you have my word that I as well as many other minorities and "Grab a hold to your seats" whites frown on and despise your efforts to express your mis-informed and mis-educated ignorance randomly on an issue you have yet, if ever, to understand.

The question "What if there was a Miss White UCO pageant?," is as stupid and hypocritical as anyone who has asked it. First of all, the phrase "what if" usually is the

response of an individual trying to contradict a truth.

Secondly, for how many years since the founding of this "great institution" has it been in every aspect a Miss White UCO (CSU) pageant? Oh yeah, something my four fellow colleagues forgot (or chose not) to mention. Besides, they ought to be glad there is a Miss Black UCO pageant, because if there weren't, I am most certain that in the years to follow, many of the Miss UCO crowns will be donned by beautiful and talented black women of which UCO has an abundance of.

It's an inevitable reality anyway! Imagine this ... Miss UCO of

Edmond, Oklahoma ... AfricanAmerican, First runner-up African-American, Second runner-up ... African-American.

You get the picture.

Quote this, "You can change the name of the pageant, but you CAN'T TOUCH the advancement, pride or endurance of the African-American race."

I personally challenge you to research the origin of your forefathers and mine, then be man or woman enough to come tell me of which continent they originated.

Nuff' said!

Time was nigh for future UCO president

By Kelly Flanagan

Guest Writer

Last week's announcement that George Patterson Nigh will become president of UCO this summer brings a man who was governor of Oklahoma for eight years and two weeks, and lieutenant governor for 16 years back into the field of education.

In the 1940s, he was delivering groceries to the home of Carl Albert.

In the 1950s, he was working as a school teacher, state legislator and grocer at the same time.

In the 1960s, he spent nine nights sleeping on a roll-away bed in the Governor's Mansion.

In the 1970s, he became the first three-time governor in the history of Oklahoma.

In the 1980s, he was re-elected governor by a landslide, despite opposition from personalities as diverse as Edward Gaylord and Frosty Troy.

Now, in 1992, one of the state's most unique political and education careers begins a new era at the University of Central Oklahoma.

The 64-year-old statesman-inresidence at UCO's Nigh Institute on State Government sees his new position as a blend of three of his previous four occupations.

"It's a combination of public relations, government and education," said Nigh, who worked for a public relations firm in Oklahoma City for four years during the `60s.

The former governor said the UCO presidency was not a longtime career ambition of his, but a recent decision.

"When I was in Georgia, I called my office and someone told me that Mr. Lillard had announced his impending retirement," Nigh

of president entails.

"President Lillard has called and I have met with him as we look toward July 1," Nigh said, refering to the date he is to take office. "He has been very cooperative in providing information and keeping me briefed.

A University cannot function with two presidents, Nigh said, and he wants everyone to be aware that Lillard is still the official leader of UCO. Nigh discussed faculty salaries and said they should be a priority at any university. It should be the goal to always pay the staff well in order to retain good teachers and bring in new ones.

"I used to teach high school in McAlester and I got mad whenever a speaker would come in and say 'the best teachers have gone to California,"' he said. "I was there teaching."

The first duty of a university is to serve the students, Nigh said. In the past UCO's mission was to educate, but things have changed.

Now the mission is not only to provide students with an education, but to train them to go out in the real world and obtain a better way of life.

Nigh said the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, whose nine-member panel selected him unanimously for the UCO presidency last week, supports his decision to retain the Institute.

Through the Institute, many prominent individuals have become acquainted with UCO, which has helped it gain recogni-

"Our mission is to prepare the student to do better for themselves," Nigh said.

Nigh said that because UCO's student body is comprised of both traditional and non-traditional students the mission has changed and must constantly be redefined, which causes confusion.

Nigh said his primary goal is to provide a constantly improving academic environment for the students.

"I want always for the agenda to be to serve the students," he said.

"I want to bring recognition for this university's programs and its graduates." V

said. "I thought about it while driving home from Georgia. That was like spending two days in a think tank."

"I believe the university has some needs that I can address," he added. "Mr. Lillard did a good job, and I would like to build upon that foundation."

After graduating from McAlester High School in 1945, Nigh went on a tour of duty in the Navy.

He returned to southeastern Oklahoma to Eastern A&M Junior College in Wilburton (now Eastern Oklahoma State College.) He received his bachelor's degree at East Central State Teachers College in Ada (now East Central University.)

During his senior year in college, Nigh filed for his first public office. His graduation was immediately followed by a campaign to become the youngest member elected to the state House of Rep-

tion Nigh said.

"I told the regents I will put in more than a 40-hour week as president, but I want to keep my other activities as well," said Nigh. "I'm a workaholic. I work a lot of nights and weekends."

Nigh sits on the board of directors for J.C. Penney's, Boatmen' s Bank, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce and the Edmond Chamber of Commerce.

Grandma's house yields war treasures, family history

By Pam Thurman Staff Writer Last summer when the family was moving things out of Grandma Zimmerman's house, after she entered a nursing home, they discovered that their son, Vista photographer Mark Zimmerman, isn't the only family member who has been interested in recording history.

Zimmerman, a sophomore at the University of Central Oklahoma, found a wooden box filled with letters and other memorabilia dating from 1861.

"I started opening them —the letters— and I saw the dates; 1861 and 1870 were some of the dates, then I started reading them and realized they were from the Civil War. I was amazed," Zimmerman said.

The letters were all addressed to John Zimmerman, a resident of Bristol Eckhart County, Ind. at the time of the war, he said. Many of the letters are from friends and family telling about every day occurences, but others were from his sons and a cousin reporting on battles and war life, he said.

"I think my great—greatgrandpa was the one in the Civil War. This is his dad. I don't know if that's it exactly, I might have missed a great," Zimmerman said.

One of the letters from the cousin, Abner Smith, was from Camp Kirk, Tenn. dated Aug. 20 but without a year.

1862 he describes it as the mienes place 1 ever saw. The mud is knee deep and it is raining all the time.

Zimmerman said many of the words were misspelled by today's English, like "git" for get, "reble" for rebel, "mienes" for meanest.

Different spellings may be due to changes in the language, but Zimmerman said others may be because "some of them were probably not fully educated" and wrote the way they spoke.

UCO Archivist Mary Bond told Zimmerman the materials are in amazingly good condition, possibly due to a "high rag content in the paper." One piece she described as in excellent condition was a newspaper page printed on wallpaper.

It was taken from the July 2, 1863 issue of The Daily Citizen, a Vicksburg Miss. newspaper. A note added on July 4 before the paper went to press stated that this would be the last issue printed on wallpaper. Two days earlier Gen. Ulysses S. Grant had arrived with 20,000 Union troops and forced the surrender of 40,000 Confederates and gained control of the Mississippi River.

This would seem to be a serious matter, but the unnamed reporter wrote of the capture in a sarcastic tone.

General Grant has caught the rabbit. He has dined in Vicksburg and he did bring his dinner with him.The Citizen lives to see it. For the last time it appears on wallpaper. No more will it eulogize the We left Nashville on the 16th luxury mule meat and fricasseed and got here the second day, and kitten; urge Southern warriors to found the bridge destroyed by the such diets nevermore. rebles.

Zimmerman wants to and run as if the very devil was af- make sure these heirlooms last ter them. even longer, he said.

I think that we will soon have "I want to do something with them in the Gulf of Mexico or in them, I want to preserve them. We hell soon for our motto is 'Victory have a museum that we're putting or Death.' together in Hennessey and there In another letter Smith wrote might be some of this that I want to from Camp Wood, Ky. on Jan 18, put on display," Zimmerman said.

Heirlooms dating back to the Civil War were among the items found in a UCO student's grandma's house.

(Photo by Mark Zimmerman) He said he had never known any of his family history until now and wants to see that it will be passea down to future generations.

"It's really been a shock. It feels great that I have some family history that I can show my grandchildren when I get old and gray.

When they learn about the Civil War in history class, they'll be able to say 'My family was involved in it."'

Letterman chooses new home office TAHLEQUAH (AP) — "Late Night With David Letterman" has a new home office in Tahlequah, thanks to some Oklahoma visitors to the television show.

David Letterman made the change in his talk show's home office, last week.

Court won't revive Do you believe in magic? Tornado Buster bombs Penthouse pressure suit BLOCKER, (AP) -- Something can be ENID (AP) — Oklahoma officials say WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court today refused to revive a lawsuit that accused a federal anti-pornography commission of pressuring convenience stores to stop selling Penthouse magazine.

The court, without comment, let stand a ruling that shielded former Attorney General Edwin Meese.

The publishers of Penthouse said their free-speech rights were violated when Meese's commission tried to intimidate stores from selling the magazine.

In fact, when a dog uses that sense to find his way home — over miles of strange territory, according to Everett Gibson — it could be said a little Magic is involved.

Magic, in Gibson's case, is a black and tan coon dog that gave cross-country travel a new meaning.

Magic traveled at least 75 miles in less than three days, as he returned to Blocker from Mansfield, Ark.

Bellevue

OKC's hot new band The life of local bands consists of many nights playing many songs in many clubs, and for the guys in Bellevue it's no different.

Bellevue, hailing from the Oklahoma City area, has been gigging at area clubs for the past year with its mixture of cover tunes, originals and a sense of humor that rivals Letterman and Monty Python.

The band consists of Neil Taylor, guitar and vocals, Lance Dierker, bass and vocals, Darrell Wilson, guitar and Darren Buck on drums. Bellevue is planning some studio work, and will record a couple of originals for a demo soon.

Covering everything from Johnny Cash ("Ring of Fire") to Cheap Trick ("I Want You To Want Me") to Spinal Tap, and also offering up originals ("Holiday," penned by Taylor), the guys cover every facet of entertainment necessary to bring about a full evening's enjoyment. Especially eye pleasing is the neat-o lighting and smoke effects.

So check the guys out. Bellevue can be seen tonight at the Upper Deck in Stillwater. V

UCO student snags role Acacia revived Fraternity nets 14 pledges; on TV crime docu-drama Seeks more 'guys with drive'

By Sam Powell Staff Writer

One student of the theatrical arts at the University of Central Oklahoma has resolved the riddle of how to get his face on television.

Criminal justice major Todd Haworth was recently selected to appear on a segement of the NBC docu-drama series, "Unsolved Mysteries." The program is set to air April 8.

He said the opportunity came as a shock and the whirlwind of activity that followed was stimulating, as well as a little overwhelming.

"A week ago my agent called and said there was an audition at the Hilton Inn, and to be there at 3 p.m.," he said. "When I got there they talked to everyone and picked me to come back at 7 p.m."

Hawarth said he returned at the appointed time, talked to the show's producer and director, and was chosen from a final field of four. The segment featured approximately six people from the Oklahoma City area.

Money available for 92-93

Even though he is offically a criminal justice major, Hawarth said he hopes to pursue a career on the stage or screen. He is realistic about his future and said he knows becoming a star is a lengthy process.

"I'rri very serious about my acting but I'm not majoring in drama," he said. "I love it and all, but just in case it doesn't happen right away I want something to fall back on."

Hawarth said the show deals wth a medical supply scam based in Oklahoma City that was recently shut down by the FBI. It was located in a warehouse at 7205 N. Robinson and was being used to sell nonexistent medical supplies to overseas customers, he said.

"They scammed over $2 million, or that's what the FBI agents told me," he said. "They had their own limo to pick up clients. They had their own pamphlets and a warehouse full of boxes, but all the boxes were empty."

Hawarth is cast as one of the warehouse workers.

According to Hawarth the proprietor of the bogus firm refused to take checks. It was a cash only business, and while the FBI agents

were raiding the place one of the clients showed up with $30,000.

He said the business appreared to be legitimate and had even been registered with the Better Business Bureau. He wasn't sure what the featured mystey is going to be, but said he supposed one of the perpetrators is still .at large.

"They would't tell me much," he said.

The role in "Mysteries" was not the 20-year-old's first brush with fame. He was also cast in a pilot for Showtime, has been featured at Jokers in Oklahoma City, and the Cabaret, a comedy club in Los Angles.

His plans do not include relocation at this time. He said he wants to be well known locally before embarking on a career in Hollywood.

"I have a cousin who is an actor in L.A. and he said that there are thousands of people who show up for auditions," Hawarth said. "It's better to be established regionally and get something set up out there, and have some credentials."

He said he knows he is going to have to work very hard and long, and the most important thing in his life is getting an education. V

The University of Central Olclahoma financial aid office has scholarships available for the fall and spring 1992-1993 semesters, said Lori Perry, a financial aid assistant.

"We would like to let students know that scholarship applications are available and the deadlines are quickly approaching," she said.

Some schlolarships with deadlines nearing are the National Federation of the Blind, National Right to Work Committee, William B. Ruggles Journalism Scholarship, and the Regents' Scholarship.

The Regents' Scholarship is available to any undergraduate student who plans to enroll in at least six hours in the fall and spring of 1992-1993.

The scholarship will pay up to $500 per semester and can be used for tuition and fees only.

■ 6

Last year the scholarship had about 1,300 applicants, of those, 300 were awarded scholarships, Perry said.

Also students who are applying for financial aid need to return their applications by the May 18 priority deadline, she said. V

18 to Enter

By Allen Norbury Staff Writer "Human service" is their motto and they are back at the University of Central Oklahoma after being inactive for almost nine years.

Acacia, which means distinctiveness in leadership, held pledge ceremonies March 7 and had its first official meeting March 8.

The fraternity had 14 pledges join Saturday, said Andrew Jee, Acacia consultant.

"The interest was high and the quota was met," said George Levesque, Acacia consultant.

Acacia came to UCO in 1963 when it colonized with the senate club and became inactive in 1983.

"It had low membership for two or three semesters in which it rocked along and then got into financial difficulties," said Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president for student affairs.

The Inter-fraternity Council

on campus had been pondering bringing on campus another fraternity and Acacia was looking to reactivate . at UCO, Ryan said.

Since Acacia had an inactive status on campus it was given first choice by the council, Ryan said.

Levesque said that Acacia came back to UCO because of growing enrollment, alumni interest and because it was on the expansion schedule.

"We are looking for guys who have a lot of drive and are involved in campus activities as well as being scholastically focused," Levesque said.

Drawing up a constitution and starting the seven to eight week pledge are the first orders of business, he said. Recruitment will continue.

"We are very much looking forward to coming back to UCO," Levesque said.

Acacia was started in 1904 at the University of Michigan by 14 men. It now has 50 chapters in the United States and Canada with 50,000 initiates.V

Printing shop partners plead guilty in play- money plan

Restaurant pays employees to do their homework RENTON, Wash. (AP) - For 17-year-old Mike Lucas, work at McDonald's is more than just taking orders for Big Macs and french fries. It's an opportunity to hit the books.

Lucas, a senior at Kentridge High, takes advantage of an unusual perk offered by his boss: study at work and get paid for it, too.

He and other employees in high school can come in an hour before or stay an hour after their regular shift to study or do homework. They get paid for that hour just as they would if they were flipping hamburgers.

"I love it. It's great. I get my homework done because they make sure you do it. Otherwise, I'd be home watching TV or something," Lucas said.

The dining-room study hall is the brainchild of Pat Newbury, a 51-year-old ex-Marine who started the program a few months ago at his four McDonald's restaurants in suburban Renton, south of Seattle.

Growers guffaw at government BANGALORE, India (AP) - When angry protests don't work, try laughter.

That's what 20,000 farmers did for two hours Monday in this southern capital to express their scorn for the state government.

"We want to laugh this government out," said M.D. Nanjundaswamy, leader of the Karnataka Farmers Association as supporters howled and guffawed outside the state legislature building.

The farmers' association often holds violent rallies to protest policies it considers anti-rural.

About 2,000 armed policemen did not intervene.

"There's no law against laughing," said Police Commissioner R. Rarnalingam.

Disney exec cuts actors' pay LOS ANGELES (AP) - Things are tough all over, even in TV land. One worried executive is trying to save money by limiting the pay of a lead actor in a new series to $25,000 per episode.

Richard Frank, president of Walt Disney Studios, said last week that he was not imposing an ironclad edict. "I do not have a rule that no human being in a lead role shall earn more than $25,000," he said.

That would be impossible. Talent salaries are all over the map in Hollywood. "Cheers" star Ted Danson reportedly earns more than $400,000 per episode for his hit series.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Two partners in a printing shop have pleaded guilty in a plea bargain to conspiring to counterfeit $175 million.

William Schraegle, 38, and Ronald P. Miller, 33, entered the pleas just before they were scheduled for trial Monday.

The former partners at Graphic Reproductions in South Salt Lake each pleaded guilty to three counts: conspiracy, manufacturing a plate for the bogus currency and printing the counterfeits, mostly $20, $50 and $100 bills.

They also agreed to help identify others who passed bills to merchants.

In exchange for their pleas, 44 other charges were dismissed.

The plea bargain does not call for the prosecutor to recommend a sentence and they could face up 35 years in prison.

U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins set sentencing for June 25.
