For one UCO student affected by cerebral palsy, being a co-host on the annual televised Easter Seals Network Celebration was an opportunity to share his story with others. Keith Weber, a junior

esident Clinton has been personally invited by UCO President George Nigh to the dedication of the new Education Building. Clinton is scheduled to be in Oklahoma City in early April for the anniversary of the Murrah Building bombing. If time permits, the president will visit UCO during his stay. Nigh invited Clinton to UCO when he was in Washington, D.C. last week for the Washington Leadership Institute, a hands-on political science course. If Clinton does visit UCO, it would be his second time on the campus. In February 1988, he was the keynote speaker at a banquet sponsored by the Nigh Institute.

disorders, speech/language, and Scoliosis screenings to Oklahoma children. Easter Seals also sends children to summer camps to experience activities like swimming and horseback riding "allowing them to do things other people might take for granted," added Weber. "I've been blessed with loving, caring family and friends and organizations like Easter Seals. Along with a firm reliance on God, those are the reasons I am where I am today," he said. Weber's long-term career plans are to serve as a public official, but for now he plans to work in public relations for a corporation or as a legislative liaison for a public official.

ADD testing center needs funds By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

Nigh invites President Clinton to UCO

political science/public relations major and Speaker of UCO's student senate, participated as an evening co-host in the annual celebration raising money for disabled people throughout the state. Weber, 21, became a "youth chairman" for the Oklahoma Easter Seals Society in 1980. "It gives me the opportunity to contribute to an organization and share my story by volunteering and co-hosting an event like the Celebration," said Weber. He has appeared on-air yearly since 1980 until he was asked to participate as a co-host for the morning segment of last year's event. The Easter Seals Society, which helped over 113,000 people last year, provides free vision, hearing, growth

Are you distractible, impulsive and given to mood swings? If so, the last thing you need is another test, right? Unless these problems have a medical explanation, like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). "The issue of adults needing a place for (ADD)

testing is a growing issue," said Dr. Mary Monfort, curriculum coordinator for reading studies at UCO. Because identification and documentation are the first steps in getting help, Monfort wants to establish a testing center for UCO students. Monfort said if money for the project can come from UCO coffers, the testing can begin in the near future. If she has to apply for a federal

grant it could be in place by this summer, she said. Monfort said she plans to negotiate with Brad. Morelli, UCO equity officer, about using money set aside for the university's students with special needs. ADD is a neurological disorder that may interfere with academic performance, said Kathleen G. Nadeau, Ph.D. in her Survival Guide V See CHADD, Page 3

EDITORIAL

Remember the Tiananmen

peace is a fragile thing. In this increasingly small global village we live in, where do we draw the line between sticking our noses where they do not belong and stepping into the affairs of others for the greater good of humanity? Technology has brought us so much closer to each other, for better or worse, that if someone were to sneeze in Lithuania another in Lisbon will say,"God bless you." Because of our proximity, our actions pack more punch now than they did in our forefathers' time. The IMOBY (In My Own Backyard) syndrome has been rendered obsolete. Because of the political implications of a then-imminent threat of war between China and Taiwan, the United States dispatched two warships to the Taiwan Strait, an action that has raised the ire of China and many Asian countries. They perceive the US as good ol' Big Brother flexing his muscles again. What they seem to forget is that the missles came from across the Strait, not the aircraft carriers. China played the intimidation card, Taiwan was stumped so the US pulled the defense ace out of its military sleeve. The communist threat is not new to the Americans. That's what Vietnam was about, at least at first. So why begrudge a nation its desire for independence? The days of colonialism and imperialism are over, passé. Taiwan has been separate from the mainland for almost half a century, but China will never consider it its equal. With one-fifth of the world population already jamming its shores, the Chinese government reclaims Hong Kong in 1997 and refuses to acknowledge Taiwan as anything more than a renegade province. It will do us well to remember the Tiananmen. Freedom is a right, not a privilege, and if the people have spoken, the powers that be should sit up and listen.

CORRECTIONS In the Feb. 29 issue of The Vista, it was incorrectly reported that the student financial aid department's phone bank handled 55,000 phone calls in the 1994-95 school year. The 55,000 calls were handled by the department itself. In the same issue, Kenda Hawthorn's name was incorrectly spelled "Kendra." The Vista apologizes for these errors.

Student questions The Vista's news judgment

he point of Mr. Pujan's cartoon accompanying the article about job interviewing in the March 12 issue of The Vista escapes me. The cartoon depicts what we must assume to be a job applicant who is being told by an interviewer, in an exaggerated tone and style of an evangelist, to learn to live with unemployment. Since this is the dominant theme of the cartoon, it appears that the cartoon has less relevance to job interviewing

friend invited me to see the play Angels in merica. She told me several prestigious awards had been bestowed upon the play. Furthermore, UCO was honored to be the first college permitted to put on the play. I enjoy theater and was excited that she included me in her evening plans. Apparently brilliance in today's theater consists of assaulting the audience with hours of barbaric and offensive -

language. I don't pretend to have grasped the plot or intended message of the play. The message I did get is that the homosexual lifestyle is hellish and not to be envied or desired. The title of the play seems irrelevant; it would more aptly be titled Fallen Angels in America or Ode to the F Word. It is reprehensible that UCO would even consider, let alone actually produce, such a morally decadent, senseless piece of drivel. In a rapidly declining

society, it is our responsibility to bring as much light and beauty into the world as possible, not encourage indecency. The memory of the grotesque dialogue and scenes from the play leaves me with a feeling of deep sadness. I pray that your university will obtain wise leadership that will bring it to greatness, thus making better choices regarding the ideals it will promote. —D. J. Jenkins Coyle, Okla.

for College Students with ADD or LD. She recommends behavior modification, medication when indicated and special adaptations to help ADD students optimize their education. Adaptive Needs Coordinator Lloyd Owsley said note takers tutors and readers are available, but students must have proof of their disability to qualify. Dr. Darwin Waterman, professor of special education at UCO said careful evaluation is necessary to avoid misdiagnosis. A careful review of childhood history, job concerns, interviews with other family members and office behavior during the interview are part of the diagnostic process, said Thomas W. Phelan Ph.D. in All About Attention Deficit Disorder. If test results show ADD, the person should be referred to a medical doctor to confirm the diagnosis and consider the use of medication, he said. The stimulants Ritalin and Dexedrine have the unexpected affect of slowing the ADD individual down, said Phelan. In addition, Waterman said certain standard intelligence tests can provide clues toward the diagnosis. Red flags that suggest ADD are " when an adult of normal or above normal intelligence has trouble with sequencing or short term recall," he said. Waterman stressed the need for comprehensive physical and psychological examinations to rule out other disorders that can mimic ADD. While the popular Connor's scale rates activities such as fighting with other children, an older tool, the Burk's scale is perhaps more useful for adults, said Waterman. Students who want to be tested for ADD should gather scholastic and medical records that might help solve the mystery of poor performance, said Monfort. For more information on ADD in adults and children, call Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (CHADD) of Central Oklahoma at 722-1-ADD (233).

or fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we 1' recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are tax-deferred annuities designed to help build additional assets—money that can help make the difference between living and living well after your working years are over. Contributions to your SRAs are deducted from your salary on a pretax basis. That lowers your current taxable income, so you start saving on federal and, in most cases, state and local income taxes right away. What's more, any earnings on your SRAs are also tax-deferred until you receive them as income. That can make a big difference in how painful your tax bill is every year.

As the nation's largest retirement system, based on assets under management, we offer a wide range of allocation choices — from the TIAA Traditional Annuity, which guarantees principal and interest (backed by the company's claims-paying ability), to TIAA-CREF's diversified variable annuity accounts. And our expenses are very low,* which means more of your money goes toward improving your future financial health. To find out more, call 1 800 842-2888. We'll send you a complete SRA information kit, plus a free slide calculator that shows you how much SRAs can lower your taxes. Call today—it couldn't hurt.

Less penalty for late time cards under new system Students reminded to turn time cards in 'on time' By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer A new method of calculating tax withholdings on late student time cards should reduce financial stress on students. As reported in the March 7 issue of The Vista, student time cards that were turned in late were classified as supplemental

income. Because of that classification, those wages were taxed at a flat rate of 28 percent for federal and 5 percent for state. The new method of withholding uses an aggregation system rather than a flat tax rate, said Charles Johnson, assistant vice president for administration, who oversees payroll. Therefore,

the tax is withheld just as if the wages were regular earnings. "We have no concerns that it won't work okay," Johnson said. He added that if a time card is not turned in on time, a student will still have to wait until the next pay period to get paid. "We hope everyone gets their time cards in on time," Johnson said.

Panel fields questions on rising cost of health care By Cory Miller Student Writer Wonder why health care costs are so high, or if you're getting quality treatment when you're sick? A panel of six health care professionals invited by the UCO chapter of the American Society for Quality Control (ASQC) met March 12 to discuss "Quality in Health Care" in the Will Rogers Room at the University Center. "We expect the best because we've gotten the best," said UCO student and panel member Mary Coffman, of the high cost of health care. One of the primary questions asked by the audience was "What are you doing to cut costs?" which drew concern from panel member LaRae Huycke. "Hospitals

are now using less skilled and the least educated people to care for patients," she said. The focus of questions included: the cause of high costs in health care, how consumers can lower them as well as how to detect when they are treated wrongly. Other strategies suggested for lowering the high cost of health care came from Dr. Mark Huycke of the OU Health Science Center. He said hospitals need to "educate the population" because most diseases in this country are caused by behaviors such as Mary Coffman, left, and Mary McCain, right, discuss "Quality smoking and drinking. in Health Care" at an American Society for Quality Control For more information on ASQC, call Dr. meeting March 12.

Lady Bronchos' softball team starting to round into form only ways her squad could earn a berth into the NCAA Division II National Tournament. Before the Central Missouri tournament, UCO split a doublehead6r with Oklahoma Christian on March 14. The Lady Bronchos dropped the first contest, 5-4, but came back to win the nightcap, 4-1. UCO opened the tournament with a 5-0 blanking of Northeast Missouri. Junior Lawanda Worthy, of Mustang, allowed only two hits to gain the win. Center fielder Kathy Wilkerson sparked the offense by going 2-for-4 at the plate. Worthy scored three runs in a 1for-2 performance. UCO routed their next opponent, Southern Colorado, 13-2. Sophomore hurler Stacey Dannels, out of Oologah, allowed only four hits in five innings to earn the win.

By Joel Reagan Student Writer Central Oklahoma softball coach Gerry Pinkston says her young squad is finally starting to play up to its potential. The Lady Bronchos (13-8) were riding a four-game winning streak heading into Wednesday after winning the Central Missouri State Invitational on March 22-24 in Warrensburg, Mo. "They played perfect," Pinkston said. "It just kind of all came together." "The offense was where it needed to be," Pinkston continued. "The pitching was what I was looking for." Pinkston stated that if the ballclub continued to play this well, a national ranking may loom in the future for the team. She said that would be one of the

Dannels drove in four runs. and third baseman Shawna Armstrong went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in for UCO. The offensive explosion continued in UCO's contest with Missouri-St. Louis. The Lady Bronchos scored four runs in the sixth inning Stacey Dannels to collect a 7-1 win. Central Oklahoma pounded out 14 hits in the contest. For the tournament, UCO outscored their opponents, 28-4. Armstrong went 3-for-3 at the

plate. Three teammates, Marina Cook, Lisa McCormick and Staci Dickerson added 2-for-3 efforts. Worthy (5-6) picked up the win on the mound, scattering eight hits. The win advanced UCO to the title game with nationally-ranked Central Missouri State. The Lady Bronchos were not strangers to their hosts. CMSU had beaten UCO three times earlier this season. UCO turned the tables, however, as Dannels belted a double in the seventh to propel UCO past the Jennies, 2-1. Darnels (8-2) got the job done at the mound, pitching a complete game. Stout added to Dannels' 1-for2 hitting performance by going 2-for-2 and scoring one run. Weather permitting, UCO was to travel to Ada for two games

with East Central on Wednesday. The squad then travels to play in the Emporia State Invitational on March 29-30. Pinkston foresees a tough field in the weekend tournament. Missouri Southern is ranked in the Division II top-20. Another possible opponent, Central College (Iowa), is a Division III power.

Wrestlers fall short in bid for fifth straight UCO wrestling squad finishes second by five points, losing to Pittsburgh-Johnstown in Division II championships By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer GREELEY, Colo. — Central Oklahoma's bid for a fifth straight national title fell short March 1516 at the NCAA Division II wrestling championships. Three Bronchos w o n individual titles, but Jerry Best PittsburghJohnstown took their first national championship while UCO placed second. UCO wrestlers Jerry Best, Shawn Bateman and Mark Cunningham each claimed titles before a sell-out crowd at Northern Colorado's ButlerHancock Hall. Best won his third straight championship at the tournament. The three individual champs were the most for any team in the field. Third-ranked Johnstown edged No. 1 UCO 86.5 points to 81.5 to end the Bronchos' string of championships at four. Johnstown placed eight of their ten national qualifiers. Six of UCO's seven qualifiers placed to earn All-American honors. Other placers for the Bronchos included 126 Matt Goodson, heavyweight Jeff Pease and 134 Ryan Vratil. UCO continued a streak of 13 years placing either first or second in the national tournament (six in NAIA and the last seven in Division II) with the finish. UCO trailed 39.5 to 30 after competition ended the first day, but UCO's No. 1-seeded 118pounder Keith Kizarr injured his ankle and lost his two matches to take an early exit. The Bronchos had to overcome obstacles all season, but UCO coach David James

said the loss of Kizarr affected the team's performance negatively. "In my opinion, it set the tone for us," said the 14-year coach. "We struggled Friday. We had to hang on (for) a lot of matches. Fortunately, we were able to keep ourselves in position for the next day of the tournament to have a chance to still win. "We knew going in we didn't have a lot of room for error. Things happen in sports, whether it is fair or not. Fortunately he's got another year and hopefully that will be a motivator for him next year." Best, top-seeded at 142 pounds, won his championship by defeating Pitt-Johnstown's Tony Albertelli 12-8. The senior from Chandler, Okla. totaled two takedowns, an escape and riding time in the third period. Best finishes his UCO career fifth in school history in Shawn Bateman winning percentage (.856). Best was 77-13 in three years, including a teambest 35-4 this season. The three-time All-American joined Johnny Nimmo and Ronnie James as UCO's only three-time national champions. He is the 11th wrestler to win three times in NCAA Division II history, and James said Best's commitment placed him among a select group. "You're in an elite group going for a third national championship," said James. "He was under some pressure, some stress. I think that just shows you the caliber of wrestler (he is) and the commitment he's made to the sport to be able to win three national championships." Cunningham entered the competition seeded sixth, but the junior from Tulsa surprised No. 1-seeded Danny Giammo of

Carson-Newman 8-6 in the the waning seconds of the match. finals. Cunningham broke a. 4-4 "Shawn might not be our tie with a four-point reverse and most talented near-fall in the final four seconds of the second period. "There were a lot of people "In my opinion, it (the that wouldn't give ankle injury suffered by (Cunningham) a chance in the Keith Kizarr in his finals against (Giammo), but opening match) set the Mark wrestled one of his best tone for us.

The junior from wrestler on our team, but I can Marlow, tell you this, he's got the biggest Okla. heart on our team," said the Mark Cunningham scored Bronchos' coach. "He's got great take- work ethic, he does everything downs in the second and third you ask and even more....I like periods but had to ward off for kids to pay the price and Reigstad's takedown attempt in hopefully get rewarded and that

is the case with Shawn Bateman this year." Goodson overcame a 7-2 semifinal loss to eventual champ Lee Schickel of Pitt-Johnstown to place third. The junior from Yukon, Okla. used five takedowns to beat Mankato State's Marc Shulze 11-3. Pease, a senior from Muncie, Ind., also placed third by decisioning Pitt-Johnstown heavyweight Scott Croyle 4-3. Vratil finished eighth by defaulting with a torn Achilles tendon in the seventh-place match. James said he hopes this year's experience will motivate next year's team. "We felt like we had a chance to win the national championship. I'm disappointed, (but) I've got to be somewhat excited for the individuals. We just fell five points short... hopefully we can get excited about getting it back next year."

Baseball team falls in opening road games By Jeff Packham

Sports Editor The UCO baseball team lost five of their seven games over the past two weekends, including all five games on the road. The Bronchos (14-9) came into spring break ranked in the Top 20 and sporting a 12-game winning streak in which they outscored their opponents by a 137-66 count. However, their first road games of the season ended in losses. UCO traveled to Washburn (Kan.) March 15 and lost a doubleheader, falling 7-4 and 43. The opening loss snapped a seven-game string of doubledigit scoring for the Bronchos' offense, who had averaged 15.2 runs a game during that streak. The Bronchos returned home to sweep a March 17 doubleheader from Missouri Western, winning 6-1 and 10-3. UCO followed up by losing their next three, all on the road. Top-ranked Delta State swept the Bronchos Thursday, winning 7-2 and 4-2. Arkansas Tech followed with a 7-2 victory Friday. Left-handed pitcher Greg Hall continued to struggle, having lost all three of his decisions this season. Hall, who has an earned run average of 8.40 and a teamhigh five wild pitches, has allowed opponents to hit .350 against him this season.

Right-hander Justin Bernard has been a bright spot for UCO, with four wins in six decisions. Bernard owns a 2.50 ERA and leads the team with 3 5 strikeouts. His 3-1 Anthony Cellers strikeouts to walks ratio also leads the UCO pitching staff. Hitting has been the strength of the Bronchos this season. The team owns a .332 team battingaverage and nine Bronchos are hitting over .300. Right fielder Anthony Cellars leads the team with a .413 average and is second in stolen bases with nine (in nine attempts) and first in on-base percentage at .526. Catcher Justin James has a .400 average and is third in slugging at .556. Pat Koerner, Clint Cowan, Shane Smith, Parrish Matthews, Greg Lawson, Brandon Bagwell and Zac Zanowiak are all also hitting over .300 for the year. Cowan, who is in the midst of a ten-game hitting streak, leads the team in hits with 29. Smith is the team leader with 24 runs scored. Lawson leads the team in home runs and runs batted in

A Family Thing redefines family bonding M

ovies that have something to say about race relations are fairly common. Movies that do it with taste, manage to touch the audience and can still get the point across without making anyone mad are not. A Family Thing is one of those movies about race relations with class. A barely publicized, almost unheard of movie, A Family Thing stars Robert Duvall,(Apocalypse Now, Rambling Rose) James Earl Jones (Hunt for Red October, Field of Dreams) as two halfbrothers and Irma P. Hall as the cantankerous old aunt who nearly steals the show. It is hard to imagine two more opposite characters than Ray and Earl (Jones and Duvall, respectively). Born a white man, Earl is raised in Arkansas. Upon his mother's death, he is

confronted with the fact that his mother is actually an African American. This is not an easy fact for the red-neck Earl to swallow. With this information, he travels to Chicago to find his half brother Ray. At this point the movie could have easily alienated the entire audience, but instead, it draws the audience in. Of course Ray and Earl are at each other's throats for the first half of the movie, but with the aid of extreme circumstances and the persistent Aunt T. (Hall) the two brothers become friends. Of course the movie isn't quite that simple, the two brothers deal with each other's family problems. As a result, the race relationship issue is addressed in a roundabout way by the two races living together and tearing down cultural barriers. A Family Thing combines

superb acting, average direction, and plenty of humor to make a fine, familyoriented movie. Movie-goers beware: A Family Thing is obviously far from action packed, except for a fight that breaks out between Duvall and Jones. It is however, a compelling drama worthy of four stars. a)

I have to be honest with you, I'm leery of local yocals who think they want to be rock and roll stars so they reproduce what they know is popular. They hope against all odds that they too can become as popular as Collective Soul or Filter. After one song on Methadone's 3-track demo album, I knew that this band was not just a bunch of guitar-strumming ya-hoos. They were different. Methadone, a three member band, plays tight, controlled, energy-packed music that could be described loosely as neo-metallic, rock with just a pinch of punk thrown in. Lead guitarist and vocalist Chap Watkins describes the band's sound as "noise explosion." They're the kind of loud, but not too offensive music that you hope to hear at a concert. Methadone plays well together as a group, with the right combination of guitar parts and rythm elements (provided by bassist Bill Thompson and Chad Rollins on drums) to back it all up. There is, however, one drawback—the lyrics. Methadone's lead singer, Watkins, belts out the songs lines with the delicacy of a bull in a china closet.

"Ciao!" is one of the album's standout tracks, and it is probably the best example of the album's anti-relationship tone. The singers put each other down and tell how much better off they are alone. Lush is one of 4A.D.'s best bands along with the Cocteau Twins, but the recent offerings have been below standard 4A.D. fare. "Lovelife" is not a reason to abandon Lush as a band, but their other three albums should definitely come first.

It is the oldest education building in the state of Oklahoma and the National Register of Historic Places listed Old North as a national historic site in 1972. Bricks are now being sold to pave a "Walk to Old North" from University Drive. There's a long precedent for a brick lane in that area.

bricks. , The walk is now flanked on the south by parking spaces and new trees on the north. The bricks are available in two sizes: four inches by eight inches with up to three lines of 14 characters for $100. A one-foot square with eight lines of up to 17 characters each is $250. The larger bricks may be engraved with a logo rather than just letters for $400, said Donna Nelson, Alumni Association director . Initially the Alumni Association asked individuals to purchase bricks, but now they are moving on to groups by sending letters to student organizations, Nelson said. Five student organizations have purchased bricks already: Sigma Kappa, Delta Zeta, the Baptist Student Union, Phi Upsilon Omicron and the West Hall Council. "All the proceeds from the bricks sold go directly to Old North," said Nelson. After the cost of materials and fund raising are deducted, each $100 brick sold nets approximately $81 to $87 for the renovation project. Old North has had at least four previous renovations; the first one was in 1911 and 1912. The first and second floors were remodeled in 1963 and the third and forth floors were redone in 1968. A fourth renovation took place in 1974, and in 1990 the building got a new roof. Old North has yet to be evaluated for specific changes, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president for administration. Areas that have been mentioned include the windows, floor coverings and the interior walls.

Speeding along highway to hell on hot wheels By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

For all her faults, my old buddy Christine is an important part of my life. I only hope her self-destructive ways don't lead us both to an early grave. The last time I drove her home from the treatment center, I scolded her. "If you were a cat, you'd only have five more lives," I said. But Christine's no cat. She's a red and gray Suburban, the special Stephen King edition, spawned in '86 by a vindictive crew of GM workers. I call her Christine because she tried to kill me. I met her the day I moved into a new house and tried out my garage door opener. There she was. "What's that?" I asked. My real estate agent tried to smooth it over. "Oh, look, the owners left you a housewarming gift!" I was ecstatic. Now this was a car! An urban assault vehicle that would safely transport my family on happy vacations around the countryside, easily accommodating a goose neck trailer holding our horses. I had forgotten that we had no horses and that our vacation budget wouldn't feed one for a week if we did. Fool that I am, I turned the key. After 12 futile attempts to start her, I began to suspect the worst about Christine. My real It'll take more than a copper with a blow-whistle to put the stops on Christine, Mary's killing machine.

estate agent was leaving. "It needs a little work and a new motor. Bye," she said as she slithered away with her commission. I had the car towed to the garage where they put in a new motor. Three times Christine ate them up and spit them out on the driveway. But I never gave up on my old pal. I made a game of it, calling the garage the "treatment center" and joking with the mechanics about her "drinking problem" (11 miles per gallon on the highway, thank you). That is the account of her first four lives, but I know you want to hear how she tried to kill me, so I will digress no more. It was the day before Christmas Eve and I was returning from shopping with my kids. Almost home, she started lurching and racing in a most unsettling way. Her dials were spinning and gyrating and I thought I heard laughter from under the hood. I managed to slow down enough for the kids to get out in front of the house. The image of their little faces as they tumbled about the metal strewn driveway, candy canes in their hands, motivated me to end the evil once and for all. There must be something about traveling down May Avenue on the day before Christmas Eve at 65, 70 and 75 mph that jostles one's long-term memory. I was reciting bible

People honked and shouted at me as I passed them by running up and over curbs. By alternately mashing the brakes until they smoked and putting the car in neutral, I made it to the garage and shut the motor off. The mechanics, Earl and

Tony, were sitting in chairs that demonstrated worn shock absorbers as opposed to new ones. For the edification of my young readers and those who were deprived of classic 1960s gas station/auto repair shop culture, these bits of molded plastic Americana resembled office chairs supported with large springs instead of legs. Earl and Tony were drinking eggnog from the carton and passing a pint of something. Tony was in the "worn" chair, so he rose first to help me. "Hey, little lady. The usual? Got a holiday special on new motors," he said, leering derisively. "No," I answered. It only has two speedsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;fast and faster. Please kill it. I'm going to lie down for awhile." It must have been the adrenaline that made me pass out. When I came to, I was curled up in the fetal position and Tony was holding a wet red shop rag to my forehead. "Hey, little lady. You were stuck in four barrel. It's a wonder you made it here alive," he said soothingly. I pulled him over where Christine couldn't see or hear me. "Tony, I don't have any barrels. It's the car. It's evil and it tried to kill me on the day before Christmas Eve." Tony eyed me suspiciously as if I were, well, a mechanic or

something. "That why you call `er Christine, after that spook movie?" I nodded, held my fingers to my lips and motioned to where Christine stood within earshot. "Please, you have to stop her. Cut off her head!" Tony's eyes grew wide and he smiled at me like one might smile at a dull child. "You're mixing up your spooks. Kujo is a dog," he said, proving he was more the literary type than I had thought. I squared my shoulders. "I'll do it myself. It's my car, I'll kill it," I said. Tony's face got squinty. "Now you got the wrong dog and the wrong director too. You sit here on the 'new' shock chair. Me 'n Earl are gonna give you and Christine back the spirit of Christmas," he said, picking up his wrench. That was a year ago. Christine has never again tried to kill me or eaten her own motor. I call her Christine because somehow it just doesn't seem right to call her "Christmas," even though that's when she was reborn. She still drinks a bit much though, and despite the miracle, I sometimes think I should trade her in for something smaller and more economical. That is, right after the vacation season is over.

Don't empty your pockets to dress for success It's not the cost of the garment but how it is put together that's important, experts say By Gayleen Langthorn

Staff Writer Looking professional can be a big plus when interviewing for a job. But that professional look doesn't have to cost a fortune. Dolly Wilson, owner of Eyes Limited Phase II, an image consulting firm, said it's not the cost of the garment but how it is put together that's important "I may wear a suit from Ann Taylor with a blouse from Wal-Mart or Target—well-made clothing is the key," she said. Jennifer Bryant, a graduate research assistant in the human environmental sciences department, had conducted the last interview dressing workshop for Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS) and suggests using clothing as a tool. Clothing can convey several messages: wearing little jewelry says you're a no-nonsense person, and wearing an expensive suit when you're on a limited budget could imply that you don't spend your money wisely, Bryant said. Trendy clothes say you're trying to fit in and impress others, while conservative suits show that you want to influence them. Casual, comfortable clothes send the message that you're approachable, she said. For the person who is not sure what color he or she should wear to the interview, don't spend money on color analysis. Bryant suggests wearing colors that have received compliments. She added that it's a good idea to research the company to make sure one will fit in there. For instance, don't go into a company who will make you wear pantyhose and heels everyday if you're a slacks person.

"Wear your style to the interview — the employer wants the same sort of employee that they hired on Friday to come in on Monday," she said. How does one know whether to wear heels or loafers, slacks or a skirt? Bryant suggests a "secret reconnaissance mission" before the interview. Go to the company and watch people go in and out and see how they dress, then dress similarly. A few tips from Bryant on dressing for success: lirs Men should always wear long-sleeved shirts. L Women should wear pantyhose, but they should

Faulkner keen to return to The Citadel By College Press Service WASHINGTON—The only woman to be accepted to the all-male Citadel said she wants to return to the military college, even though her experience there led to her breakdown. Shannon Faulkner, in her first public speech since withdrawing from the statesupported school last fall, told an audience of Georgetown University students that she would like to call The Citadel her alma mater. "I wish I could go back to the school, and if I could go back in

the fall, it will take everything I have inside and outside of me to walk inside those gates," said Faulkner, according to Reuter reports. Faulkner described her legal fight to be the first female cadet to be admitted to The Citadel as "two-and-a-half years of hell." Throughout that time, she was the only female student to attend day classes at the school. This fall, a federal court ordered the school to admit her to the cadet corps. After a few days of training, Faulkner withdrew from the

program, citing mental and physical stress. "I can't tell you that I'm totally well," she said. "Basically, I had a mental, physical and spiritual breakdown." Faulkner said none of the male cadets talked to her except upperclassmen, who had to giver her orders. When she spoke in class, students hissed. One male cadet who publicly defended her was later beaten. "I know a lot of people are disappointed in me, but I would not like anyone to go through what I did," she said.

stay away from the patterned ones. When in doubt, always wear natural-colored hose. *- The best makeup is a good night's sleep and good nutrition (Even men who have dark circles under their eyes should wear concealer). ow For men, socks should match the shoes (and make sure the socks are long enough so that skin doesn't show when you cross your legs). If you only have one suit and you get called for a second interview, get it pressed before the second interview. ow Women should never show their toes. Ar If the interview is in another city and you have to drive a long distance, hang up the interview clothes and change into them in a rest stop or a gas station restroom. U, Shoes should be compatible to the suit (don't wear a nice suit with old shoes). ir Women should take a second pair of pantyhose with them in their purses. ow Men with a pierced ear should wear a conservative earring rather than have a bare hole. lir Finally, check your whole outfit for static, strings, etc. There's nothing worse than having a great interview and then discovering that a sock was stuck in the middle of your back, Bryant said. CD&PS will hold its next interview dressing workshop at 2 p.m., April 2 in Room 315 of the University Center. The Edmond Library will sponsor a similar seminar for men from 7 to 8 p.m. April 4. For more information, call the library at 341-9282.
