Committee drops charges Professor finds fax cheaper than stamp WASHINGTON (AP) — Sending a few pages by fax is faster and getting cheaper than using first-class mail, calculates a professor who has bounced tidings from one coast to another in time-and-cost studies.

Richard B. McKenzie, a fan of the fax who teaches at the University of California's Graduate School of Management at Irvine, sent missives by fax between Irvine and Washington, D.C., to calculate the costs.

He found that a single page can be faxed in 35 seconds and at a cost of 10 cents, at the lowest available night and weekend phone rates, or a maximum weekday daytime charge of 25 cents.

Either beats the cost of a 29-cent first-class stamp.

A Special Task Review Committee of the University of Central Oklahoma's Student Senate rescinded 10 of the original 12 charges facing the Senate's Election Committee after last month's special vice presidential election.

After reviewing the evidence from the Special Task Committee, the Special Task Review Committee (STRC) recommended, and the Senate accepted, that the election be declared null and void.

The members of the Election Commit-

tee, except Lori Fox who resigned, were removed from that committee and received a formal written reprimand for irresponsibility in conducting the election and enforcing the election rules.

Candidate Bobby Stem was disqualified from the election for posting multiple campaign posters in classrooms in the Liberal Arts Building.

"Our committee had a lot more cooperation from those involved and we got to hear both sides of the issue," said Samuel C. Cannella, chair of the STRC. "We needed to show the student body that something was done. If integrity doesn't start at insti-

Advertising students set to compete

Students from the University of Central Oklahoma are among the entrants in

Citibank' s Third Annual College Advertising Awards competition. The 1993 awards program wil focus on student-created advertising campaigns promoting anew credit card that features a cause-related donation

Although Citibank has sponsored the advertising competition for three years, this is the first year UCO has entered.

Nine groups, each containing three students from Robert Midge's "Advertising Campaigns" class have entered the competition for the class project.

The Citibank competition will provide good advertising experience for the students, he added.

The students will be competing with students from 57 other colleges for a grand prize of $5,000 and a summer career opportunity in marketing at Citibank MasterCard and Visa in New York. Matching grants are made to the colleges of the first, second and third-place winners.

"Each year the class works on an ad project, but this is the first year that I know of that UCO entered Citibank's competition," Midge said.

BEIJING (AP) — China is preparing to order $200 million worth of oil prospecting and development equipment from U.S. companies, official news reports said today.

The China Daily said a series of contracts and purchase agreements will be signed next week when Wang Tao, president of the Chinese National Petroleum Corp., visits the United States .

WASHINGTON (AP) — House approval of a bill to lift restrictions on abortion counseling offered an emotional preview of the bitter legislative fight yet to come over abortion.

"This vote will mark the dawn of the abortion era," Rep. James Inhofe, R-Okla., declared Thursday before the House voted 273-149 to approve a bill authorizing spending for family planning clinics.

First, the House beat back a Republican-led effort to require parental notification for young women seeking abortions. The bill writes into law President Clinton's lifting of the Bush administration's virtual ban on abortion counseling at federally supported clinics.

tutions of higher learning, where will it start?"

The letters of reprimand the members of the election committee received are not part of a permanent record and will not follow the members past their student senate careers, said Cannella.

"The members of the election committee were removed because we think it' s in the best interest of the student body to have new management for the upcoming general election," he added.

The general election for Student Government Association president, vice president and spring senators will be held April 1-2.

This year's program challenges students to develop an advertsing campaign that consists of a television commercial, a print ad and a direct mail package. Advertising and direct mail components within the campaign are to be created to emphasize the cause supported by the card as well as the benefits of choosing to use a Citibank card when making purchases with a credit card.

Each of the colleges taking part in the program will have a campus competition open to all undergraduate students regardless of their major.

On April 5, UCO faculty will select one group as a finalist. This team will then advance to the national finals where a panel of marketing and advertising executives will select the winning team. Winners will be announced by Citibank MasterCard and Visa in May.

Punishment for crime is decision of judge; not jury The recent decision in the Christopher William Brosky case is another example of how screwed up the American judicial system can be.

The 17-year-old skinhead, convicted of murdering a black man, was spared from prison after the jury "inadvertently" gave him probation when they intended to send him to prison.

"The way it came out, the punishment was not what we agreed on," said juror Lora Elizabeth Smith in a recent article in the Dallas Morning News. "We talked for a long time, and we intended him to go to jail."

Whether it was a mistake or an act of prejudice doesn't matter. The point is a jury has no business deciding what punishment a criminal should receive.

Criminals have the right to a jury trial as stated in the Constitution. The jury should decide whether a person is guilty or not guilty. And if that person is found guilty, it should be left up to the judge, not the jury, to decide the appropriate punishment--after completing a thorough background check on the criminal.

"I understand how citizens could see this as insensitivity of a jury to a black victim. I see it instead as one more instance in which a jury has had this inappropriate function placed on them and has been swayed by the emotion of the moment," said Marvin Collins, assistant district attorney in Tarrant County (Texas). "They have made what amounts to a tragic mistake. I have seen it happen in all types of cases."

Only six states, including Texas and Oklahoma, continue to allow this jury-assessed punishment. It's about time we stop hanging on to this old way of doing things. It's time to make a change.

As long as inexperienced jurors who know nothing about the defendant, nothing about the victim and nothing about what a punishment means are allowed to decide the punishment, criminals will continue to face uncertain, lopsided and sometimes completely unfair sentencing.

Jury-assessed punishment is unfair to jurors, a joke on the public and an injustice to criminals, victims and ordinary citizens alike. The six states who are still allowing jurors to make these decision should stop put the power back in the hands of the judge where it belongs before the American judicial system totally falls apart.

In the article that ran March 11 about the Alumni Association, the numbers the association wanted to raise should have been a total of $10,000 $3,500 for the bust, $3,500 for the lettering and the remaining for the endowment. /// ///, ' " A " / •

Correction

March 30, 1993

While I was talking with an acquaintance of mine the other day, I was disturbed to find that she had strong prejudices toward the black community. I'm no angel, mind you, but I just didn't expect to find that she had such a profound and deep hatred for someone of another race. I have also noticed that the graffiti on the bathroom walls in most of the buildings that I have classes in are racist-based. Not only white vs. black, but black vs. white, Native American vs. white, black vs.

Asian, white vs. Asian, white vs.

Native American and so on. I have heard racist remarks from all sides and favoritism expressed by faculty because of color and sex.

I personally find this action appalling and would like to point out that no matter what color, sex, religion, or political conviction someone has, we all are alike. All

of us, unless by a physical deformity or accident, have two hands to work together and hold another's when they feel down; two arms to reach out and hold our loved ones or to support someone who is in need of help; two eyes to see the accomplisments of others or shed a tear pain, joy, or pride for your's or other's truimphs or down falls; two legs to hold ourselves upright and walk with dignity and courage to face life one day at a time so that we can support ourselves and others when needed; one heart to pump the blood through our bodies; one brain that we are filling with the knowledge of the mistakes of the past so that we won't make them agian; and last., but not least, a consious of which was provided for us by a power greater than ourselves that I choose to call GOD, which tells us the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, just and unjust.

It was once said, "When the bullets begin to fly over our heads and the pressures of war are all about, there are no colors separating the men in the trenches. " I believe that the bullets have been flying too long and too many men, women, and children have lost their identities and lives over the war of prejudice.

I am running for the presidency of the Student Government Association for the 1994 term and would like to surround myself with competent persons willing to cooperate with each other to achieve a common goal to serve the student body, and to listen to the students for their needs. I don't care what color you are or where you come from, or even if you backed Clinton or not. I want quality people to serve the students and to give them what they deserve. I would also like to be able to see more student participation and fun recreation for the students and their families.

We have a long way to go, but as I read on one of the walls somewhere, someone misquoted Malcom X by saying that Dr. X had stated, "Anarchy is the only way to bring about a solution to the Black struggle." Anarchy, like apathy, have no place in this school and if you who are acting like infantile individuals cannot refreain from defacing others property with such pompous bigoted statement, they you have no business attending an institute of higher learning for you are stuck and need treatment.

Students who make the Dean's honor roll will receive a certificate for 10 percent off merchandise in the Corner Store.

"I think it is a neat deal," said

Walker. "Students deserve some sort of award for their accomplishments."

According to A.K. Rahman, director of auxiliary services, the students will be notified through the mail and their names will be placed on a roster at the Corner S tore.

The certificate will be good for a one time purchase only, Rahman added.

Viruses more of a nuisance than anything else, says UCO liberal arts lab director

By Joe Umbarger Student Writer

White Rabbits, Viruses and Trojan Horses.

What do these three things have in common? They are all programmed pieces of code that are commonly lumped together under the term computer viruses.

Reid Webber, who runs the University of Central Oklahoma's Liberal Arts computer lab, explains their differences.

"White Rabbits are codes that can't do any damage," he said.

According to Webber, an example of a White Rabbit might be the computer playing, "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" over and over whenever the power was turned on to the machine.

"A virus is a code that alters other pieces of code, and causes things like all the letters to fall off the screen," Webber said.

The booth will be selling human rights stickers, baked goods and a mixed tape of different artists performing human rights songs.

They will also be displaying profiles of prisoners being held for their beliefs in different countries. The procedes from these sales will be used to buy stamps and postcards for letter writing to government officials and for the Amnesty magazine which contains profiles of prisoners in urgent situations.

'Best and Brightest' debuts in May

By Rebecka Slaughter Student Writer

The 79th edition of the Bronze Book, the University of Central Oklahoma's yearbook, will be released in May. This year's theme will be "UCO's Best and Brightest" focusing on outstanding students and faculty from each department.

As well as the Activities, Organizations, Sports and

Departmental sections, this year's book will include a section from the creative studies department featuring poetry and prose, and a section from the UCO Studio featuring graphic designs that students have done for clients.

"I think we had a lot of talent here, but I was surprised that people were so hesitant to submit work," said Pam Thurman, editor of the Bronze

Book .

Thurman believes this year's staff faced several obstacles.

Injectable form of birth control now available

By Heide Brandes Staff Writer

The first injectable form of birth control, Depo-Provera, is now available to women as of January.

Depo-Provera, a prescription contraceptive administered in shot form, is more than 99 percent effective and lasts for a three month period.

Progesterone, the same hormone used in the Norplant contraceptive implants, is the key chemical in Depo-Provera.

"It is more effective than the pill," said Elaine Abernathy,

patient services director for the Oklahoma City area Planned Parenthood. "Depo-Provera and Norplant are just about identical in effectiveness. The only things more effective are sterilization and abstinance."

The contraceptive, issued by the Upjohn Company, is administered in the upper arm or buttocks in three-month intervals.

Depo-Provera is available at the Planned Parenthood offices and costs approximately $50 for each injection.

Abernathy said she has five clients so far who are using Depo-Provera.

The University of Central Oklahoma Student Health

Center is not yet carrying DepoProvera, but Susan LaForge, director of the UCO center, said the contraceptive may be perfect for some people.

"This is a nice form of birth control, especially for people who forget to take their pill, teenagers or women with heavy periods," she said. "It's nice because you don't have to take the pill every day. Another nice thing about it is after awhile, you get into a situation where you have no period-amenorrhea."

LaForge said the reason the UCO Health Center doesn't have it yet is due to time.

"It's only because we haven't had the time to discuss whether or not we want to carry it," she

said.

Like all hormonal medications, Depo-Provera has possible side effects which include irregular menstrual bleeding, accidental pregnancy, weight gain, dizziness, leg cramps and others.

However, studies done by Upjohn showed that there was no increased overall risk of developing cancer.

Studies do show that women who use Depo-Provera have an average weight gain of 2.75 pounds per year.

"Well, a lot of it is real subjective," Abernathy said.

"Some of the things mentioned will happen anyway. Collegeage women usually gain weight

anyway. It's not uncommon to gain weight, but it may just balance out."

With any hormonal method of contraception, the body has to take time to adjust, said Abernathy.

In addtion to weight gain, users may experience amenorrhea or, in lay terms, a missed period.

"Actually, amenorrhea is not a serious side effect," said Abernathy. "It is a normal side effect."

Depo-Provera is available for contraception in over 90 countries, including Germany, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom and has been in use since 1969.

I'm just going to go out and play my kind of basketball."

WORLD WRAP Continued from page 1

Boren filibusters over jobs bill OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Sen. David Boren spent five hours trying to talk his colleagues into adopting a proposal that would delay about half of President Clinton's $16.3 billion jobcreation and economic stimulus package.

Boren wants the package tied to a guaranteed deficit reduction.

The senator took control of the Senate floor Thursday afternoon. Others joined in his filibuster while the White House spent much of the day lobbying Democrats to oppose Boren' s propos al.

Sen. Robert Byrd, the bill's chief sponsor, chided conservative members of his own Democratic Party today for trying to delay parts of the plan.

Boren has said the stimulus package might not have enough votes to pass without his amendment. He said he would probably not vote for it without the linkage to deficit reduction.

Take your daughter to work,' Steinem. urges NEW YORK (AP) — Gloria Steinem wants parents to take their daughters to work next month to help boost the confidence of young girls.

Steinem, founder of Ms. Magazine, celebrated her 59th birthday Thursday with a pep rally for the Ms. Foundation for Women's "Take Our Daughters to Work" campaign.

The Ms. Foundation hopes at least 500,000 girls will participate in the program, set for April 28. They suggest people who don't have a daughter bring another relative or young friend to the office, factory or shop.

Research has shown that girls in adolescence suffer loss of selfesteem to a greater degree than boys, said Marie Wilson, Ms. Foundation's president.

Policeman's puppet praised, pooh-poohed SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —Officer Bob Geary knows that his former beat partner is a real dummy. But he says his friend has calmed many a tense crime scene, broken up fights — even directed traffic. And he wants him back on the beat.

The 24-year police veteran said Thursday he had gathered 15,750 signatures in support of Brendan O'Smarty, a custommade ventriloquist's puppet Geary took out on patrol until a captain ordered him to leave it at home last September.

The signatures, if verified by election officials, will put the question on the city's November ballot.

Geary hopes a favorable vote will get 0' Smarty off the shelf and back into his tiny, tailor-made uniform.

Not everyone supports puppets on duty, he admits.

"One sergeant said, 'You're stupid and the idea of the puppet is stupid,"' Geary said.

FTC weighs facts about diet companies WASHINGTON (AP) — Some of the nation's most popular commercial diet plans are being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission for possible violations of advertising laws.

Diet Center Inc., Jenny Craig Inc., Nutri-System Inc., Physicians Weight Loss Center of American Inc. and Weight Watchers International Inc. are among more than a dozen diet companies the FTC is investigating, the agency said Thursday.

Among the sales pitches being investigated for the diet plans were claims that dieters who completed a particular program would remain at a lower weight for a long period of time the FTC said. The agency has sought documentation for those advertising claims.

Have you ever wanted to visit a foreign country, but quickly dismissed the idea because of the cost? Students at the University of Central Oklahoma had an opportunity to learn some cost-effective ways to travel abroad when Gil White, an international speaker, shared his travel expertise recently at a lecture held in the Pegasus Theatre of the Liberal Arts Building, sponsored by the UCO Student Government Association.

"See Europe and the World on 84 Cents a Day" was the theme.

White said the title of the lecture was one way to illustrate that traveling abroad does not necessarily have to be expensive.

Originally from Ontario, Canada, White had his first travel adventure at age 16 when he went to Australia alone. He learned two important concepts from this trip - be frugal and traveling is the best education a person can get.

He advised traveling before mar

riage or a career. Students can also take advantage of the many discounts available.

White distributed a handout which contained key information for travelers about air travel, accommodations, passports, money exchanges and customs. From his personal experiences, he offered more than 25 ways to obtain free rides in foreign countries such as hitchhiking, leaving notes on car windows, yacht-hiking, ride boards at universities and even advertising on the radio.

Good grooming is an important element for success in getting rides, said White. When traveling, a person is an ambassador for his country, so it is important to make a good impression. He always carries a large Canadian flag which he displays while hitchhiking.

Cycling is one way to see the countries of Europe. Bicycles can be rented at train stations in one country and returned in another country. White said cycling pro vides a great way to see the countryside and learn about different cultures.

White also gave 16 ways to obtain free accommodations and food. These included staying in private homes, renting rooms at universities, Youth Hostels oreven pitching a tent in the countryside.

He stressed that it is important to repay people who help with lodging or food by doing odd jobs or offering a small gift in return. Tshirts and U.S. postage stamps are popular gift items. White always carries a supply of these when traveling.

White said some important items to take if planning a trip abroad are travelers' checks, a backpack, a sleeping bag, a small tent, dress clothes, a camera and a good supply of film, a student identification card and several snapshots to be used for visas.

White ended the lecture with a slide presentation of his travels.

Joacquin Stevens, president of the UCO SGA, attended the lecture and said, "It was very beneficial. Mr. White gave new insights as to how to cut the costs of traveling anyplace. He made traveling practical."

Center adds 2 to support team

By Andrea Voss Student Writer

Two new faces have been added to the University of Central Oklahoma department of student support services.

John Mallone has been added as coordinator of Correspondence and Testing Services and Dr. Kathryn Greenlee has been hired as director of Career Development and Placement Services.

Mallone previously worked at UCO as an admissions officer, and Greenlee came to UCO from Oklahoma State University where she was the Director of the Annual Fund for the OSU Foundation.

As the Coordinator of Conespondence and Testing Services, Mallone is responsible for helping students set up correspondence classes and departmental exams.

RESUMES *Maximize Your Degree*

He also coordinates tests such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE for high school and graduate students.

"One thing I do is work with the mid-level assistance program where people are assessed to see how they are progressing in their area of study," Mallone said.

"All you need are 50 or more hours in your major and you can be tested to see if you have the skills needed at that point in your studies."

Mallone said that he loves his new job, even though he had only been in the office for two days.

His office is located in Room 4 of Evans Hall.

As Director of Career Development and Placement Services, Greenlee's office, in room 312 of the University Center, helps students in deciding which major is students with employers after best

for them, and tries to connectgraduation.

"We have files listing job openings that are available for student use, and we hope to get them put on computer for quick reference and to cross reference with students looking for jobs in a certain area," Greenlee said.

"We also hold career fairs in different areas like the one were having from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. April 8, for teachers looking for jobs.

Teachers from across the state will be there along with alums from UCO," she added.

When asked how she likes her job, which she started March 1, she said, "I love it! It' s a challenge and lots of work, but I absolutely love it. We're going to make things happen."

Make money, donate plasma Kim Terry Student Writer

University of Central Oklahoma students who need a little extra spending cash, but not willing to do hard labor, may want to check into donating plasma.

Plasma donations range from $15 to $20 fora first time donation and from $17 to $20 for subsequent donations, said Casey Fine of the Plasma Alliance.

"The amount we pay for plasma is determined by how much you weigh," Fine said. "A person who weighs between 110-149 pounds will get $17 for each donation after the first visit."

Donating plasma isn't just for anyone. Prospective donors must go through an intensive screening process by a physician to determine if they are physically able to donate. Prospective donors must

make sure it is useful. Hepatitis A, B, and C; HIV; syphilis and gonorrhea are just a few diseases the plasma is tested for.

The plasma is then shipped to pharmaceutical companies where

The bus fare is $27 and the exhibitions are free for students with a valid student ID. Reservation forms and checks made payable to "UCO Art Exhibition Trip" must be in by April 13.

An expected 750 projects from across the country and internationally will be judged at the International Fair, Caire said.

A total of 26 prizes were awarded for first, second and third places in each category and each division. The students were excited about their projects, said Caire,

assistant dean of the College of Mathematics and Science.

Judges of the science fair were faculty, retired faculty and graduate students from UCO's College of Mathematics and Science. Winners of the nine categories of competition will advance to the Oklahoma State Science & Engineering Fair April 13 in Ada, Okla.

Among the special awards donated by 21 organizations were a $200 savings bond from the Oklahoma City Geological Society, calculators from the army and navy, Sierra Club books and scientific books.

The savings bond was given to a project with a geological focus, said UCO Biology

Professor Dr. Donna Zanowialc, director of special awards for the fair.

A book titled "Amphibians of Oklahoma," from the Department of Wildlife, was given to the best wildlife project.

Edmond is one of 11 sites hosting the regional science fairs, Caire said. Other cities include Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Miami.

Exhibits in the fair are categorized into botany and zoology; biochemistry, medicine and health sciences; physical science; earth and space science; behavioral and social science; engineering; mathematics; environmental science and computing science.

PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT . INVESTING

Skunks can be counted among the denizens of the University of Central Oklahoma campus, though there is no way of knowing exactly how many.

"They all look the same to me," saidDavid McClellan, UCO physical plant director.

McClellan said that skunks are nocturnal, so they usually stay holed-up during the day. He said that people are a more common sight to the skunks than the skunks are to people, thus people are the more scared party in an encounter.

Skunks spray only when they are scared, McClellan said.

"I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt by them, except maybe some of us (physical plant workers) trying to get away from them," McClellan said.

The UCO Police Department had no record of a person-skunk scuffle.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING TOO MANY RETIREMENT DOLLARS,

McClellan said that the skunks move onto the UCO campus from nearby wooded areas, and that they probably are not breeding on campus.

"I haven't seen any young ones," McClellan said.

McClellan said that if the skunks become a problem, they would be trapped alive and released in the country.

very year, a lot of people make a huge mistake on their taxes. They don't take advantage of tax deferral and wind up sending Uncle Sam money they could be saving for retirement.

Fortunately, that's a mistake you can easily avoid with TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs not only ease your current taxbite, they offer a remarkably easy way to build retirement income—especially for the "extras" that your regular pension and Social Security benefits may not cover. Because your contributions are made in before-tax dollars, you pay less taxes now And since all earnings on your SRA are tax-deferred as well, the

money you don't send to Washington works even harder for you. Down the road, that can make a dramatic difference in your quality of life.

What else makes SRAs so special?

A range of allocation choices—from the guaranteed security of TIAA to the diversified investment accounts of CREF's variable annuity—all backed by the nation's number one retirement system.
