Accident on campus injures 2 workers

By Jennifer Palmer Staff Writer In a near-fatal accident, a 2,500-pound drum fell on two construction workers the

morning of March 21 as they worked to complete Phase II of the University of Central Oklahoma parking project.

The two men were doing subcontracting work for BearCon, Inc., which was hired to help rebuild the parking lot south of the

Liberal Arts building, said Lt. Ed Forbes of the UCO police department.

Edmond resident John Dahlgren, the construction company co-owner, and Larry Been of Guthrie were trapped when a safety mechanism pin on a hydraulic lift was stripped, causing the 2,500 pound drum to fall on top of them, said Chuck Dahlgren, John's brother and also a co-owner of BearCon Inc. "The accident broke every bone in his head but his lower jaw... He was in reconstructive surgery for over eight hours," said Chuck, "...and his jaw will be wired shut

for about five more weeks to heal."

John was admitted Monday in critical condition to Edmond Memorial Regional Hospital, the Edmond Evening Sun reported last Tuesday.

At the scene of the accident, the injured John Dahlgren "stood beside a nearby piece of machinery," as firefighters from the nearby firestation (just south of the parking lot on Second Street) and co-workers attempted to free B een, the Sun also reported.

Been was taken to the Edmond hospital • See ACCIDENT, Page 13

Eight candidates for governor meet, give platforms at UCO secondary school in the state. He said he received his graduate degree in business from the University of Tulsa and has worked in every facet of business from engineering to financing to marketing.

"Next to the American Indian," Lay said, "I'm as native as they come."

Frank Keating, with plans to run on the Republican ticket, explained that he has acted as the Deputy Secretary on the General Council of Housing and Urban Development where he said he feels responsible for that agency's clean-up.

"It is a fact that the next governor of Oklahoma is going to have to address very thorny, very sensitive issues of municipal finance in relationships between the state governments and municipalities," Keating said.

"I feel very strongly that municipalities should have the maximum flexibility and discretion to handle their own affairs," he told city leaders.

Keating was a member of the state House of Representatives and Senate. He said he is in the oil and gas business out of Tulsa, a former agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a former federal prosecuV See CANDIDATES, Page 11

In a forum designed to provide the state's mayors, council members and city managers insight into the their campaign platforms, eight gubernatorial candidates met Monday at the University Center where they addressed city leaders from across Oklahoma.

Five republicans, two democrats and one candidate with the intention to run for the state's top position on an independent ticket explained to city leaders and the media their intentions as governor.

Republican candidate Thomas Lay said that he will run his campaign on integrity.

"I thought that the people of Oklahoma were looking for someone who could represent them—a person of character, integrity and proven leadership," he said.

"I promise you, as governor of the state of Oklahoma, I will never embarrass you.

You will never have to worry about what I was doing last night," Lay said. "I promise to bring back the honor that you want done for the governor's office."

Lay, age 38, said he has lived in Oklahoma 33 years and attended primary and

ook up in the sky! It's a bird. Its a plane. It's Nigh Man! While not literally a superhero perhaps, traits such as being available when needed, offering a kind word or sendin g a short note of thanks or encouragement can make University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh seem pretty super.

Since becoming president on July 1, 1992, Nigh has made many changes to the university such as his open-door policy and of course, the Master Plan.

Nigh is the only Oklahoma governor to serve back-to-back terms, and served16 years as lieutenant governor. In addition, he started the Nigh Institute of State Government, the first Oklahoma institute for higher education dedicated to the study of state goverment.

Surely Nigh is a busy man, yet that does not stop him from talking to students in passing or sending out short notes of encouragement or thanks. Many faculty and staff, including those at The Vista, have been at the receiving end of these notes.

Nigh once said the first duty of a university is to serve the students, and so far, he has succeeded.

Chain reaction to breaking chains of tobacco addiction

N

ewton's Third Law of Motion says that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Politicians, as well as physicists, might do well to learn that this law applies to ideas that are set in motion as well as objects.

Devout followers of that false god, Political Correctness, have recently descended in a feeding frenzy on cigarettes and their addicted millions in media, legislative and popularity campaigns.

Not content with merely having certain sections of restaurants and other buildings designated as "no smoking" areas, they now lead the crusade to have cigarette smoking banned in all buildings and all public places, and, in fact, banned everywhere.

On the medical front, strategists have launched a flanking maneuver aimed at having cigarettes declared an illegal drug, and thus outlawed.

What will the probable equal and opposite reaction to all this be?

One scenario is that tobacco will be outlawed. If that happens, America might well suffer the dubious benefits of another black market item to be bartered over with high prices, and more screams and gunfire in the nation's streets.

Newton was an intelligent man far beyond his time. We should all learn the lesson his Third Law of Motion has to teach.

Prof says attendance no laughing matter, students choose to attend university

N

ietzsche observes that homo sapiens has entered the doldrums of its ethical evolution: What is needed, he says, is a will to selftranscendence, a kind of austere intellectual discipline that has no place for self-serving mediocrity.

In spite of this, Nietzsche asserts that "gravity" is the greatest vice of all — one must learn to laugh at foolishness if one expects to remain sane! Dulce est desipere in loco! While indeed it may be "sweet to be foolish in the right place" class attendance is no laughing matter (Vista March 17). Attendance policies at publicly funded universities shouldn' t have to cater to the "lifestyles of the nineties" (whatever those may be), but rather should be reasonably committed to making sure students come to class.

First, the administrative logistics. Your editorial says that "administration has no set guidelines for attendance." However, as stated in the 1993-94 University Catalog, "a student's presence at the University of Central Oklahoma is taken to signify willingness to attend every class and laboratory for which they are enrolled." That doesn't mean just a few (or just enough), or just those that a student wants to go to. It means just what it says: a willingness to attend every class. By comparison,

the university I graduated from did have a stated policy: Six absences and a professor can give you an "F' (even in the "nineties").

Second, although instructors do have certain latitudes for setting attendance policies (and they are obligated to put those policies in their syllabi), we are responsible for keeping track of the students in our classes — it is an issue that the State of Oklahoma calls "accountability."

Third, and of related import, the taxpayers of the state of Oklahoma expect reasonable assurance that they are getting their money's worth from your attendance at their institution: In spite of your editorial assertion that an injustice is being perpetrated on the student who "goes to a university, pays his tuition and passes his test but doesn't attend class every day," you have ignored the fact that the taxpayers of this state are the major underwriters of your education. A student' s tuition pays for one third of his or her education, and Oklahoma tax dollars pay for the other two thirds. Are you suggesting that you don' t have a responsibility to the taxpayers to attend the classes that they have paid for?

And this is what it comes down to: developing a sense of responsibility. Your editorial claims that

attendance policies deny students their right to exercise "choice of free will." Without egressing into an argument on existentialism, this is false reasoning. You always have a choice. You chose to go to the university. You chose to take a class from a particular professor, and by remaining in that class, you tacitly agreed to play by the rules expressed in the syllabus. If you didn't like the attendance rules because it interfered with your "lifestyle," nothing kept you from dropping the class and picking another. Don't complain when you actually encounter a professor who cares whether you come to class or not.

We all have the complexities of "children, jobs, marriages... a life," but that does not excuse us from the responsibilities we willingly have agreed to take on. No professor expects every student to be an "Uberstudent," but a reasonable attendance policy is not an undue burden to expect from responsible citizens attending a public institution.

And as for your accompanying cartoon, Mr. Benson: No milk and cookies for you! You misspelled NIETZSCHE! But of course, you probably skipped that day...

Chairman disagrees with editorial, says attendance should be required

y

ou accuse those of us who require class atendance of being infantile. I say your editorial and your reasoning is infantile. Here's why I require attendance: 1. There's more to education than a book. If you want to read a book and take a test, enroll in correspondence study and get a cute little certificate saying you memorized the contents. But if you want to learn, to mature, to change, to learn to think, I suggest coming to class. There you will find access to a wealth of material not found in books. What? Professors' planned activities, learning exercises, notes, knowledge and experience, which you can only get in class. The exchange of opinions, ideas and facts with fellow students and professors, also available only in class. I contend that these elements are just as important—perhaps more important—to your education than what you can memorize from a textbook.

2. Excuse me for coming from

the "real" world where I also had a "life," but in my life, attendance was, and is, crucial to getting and keeping a job, and to excelling in a career. I view collge as a job, and I recommend you do too. I've fired employees for not showing up regularly. Some journalist said, "90 percent of life is showing up."

You either make a serious error if you don't. think college is the "real world," or you have misplaced sense of value for paying tuition and fees for something that isn't "real." Attendance is a vital part of any education course that teaches more than just rote facts.

3. I'm often asked by students to be references for them. Do you know what employers want?

Knowledge, yes. But also dependability, and if you think I'll recommend someone for a job who can' t bother to come to class, you're out of touch with reality.

Attendance is a key indicator of a student's maturity, commitment and dependability. And in your "lifestyle of the 90s," employers put a premium on those character-

istics more than ever before, because they' ve become rare. I demand high standards from students—including attendance— because I believe you come to college for more than just an easy time. A college degree without high standards is worthless.

4. Many of these wonderful students you speak of aren't always so mature. Many are just out of high school. Others are just here. Just the other day we had a student who didn't want to schedule a class because it interfered with her suntanning time. Real mature—about as mature as wanting a college education without attending class.

5. I've noticed however that the really mature students—the ones who really learn, who earn the good grades, who will be successful in their careers—rarely complain about attendance. They're in class getting an education.

Student hopes to keep luck with attendance

T

agree with the March 17 editorial regarding class attendance. Students should not lose a letter grade for absences.

This fall I managed to have perfect attendance becuse the two or three days my young child was sick coincided with my husband's days off from work. Therefore. he was able to remain at home with her.

This spring semester, I dreaded the flu and cold season.

To prevent absences, all three of us got a flu shot in October Despite this precaution, my daughter was sick with the flu for five days. Her illness just

happened to be during Christmas break. Once again, I was spared from missing any UCO classes, but how long can my luck hold out?

I can make myself go to school when I am sick, but I cannot in good conscience send my child to school with a fever. If I am given a grade for attendance, my final grade would suffer because I was being a good mom. Is that fair?

It's time for the professors to stop penalizing us for absences we cannot control.

Young Democrats to attend convention in Stillwater The Young Democrats at the University of Central Oklahoma have the opportunity to attend the annual Young Democrats of Oklahoma State Convention April 1517 in Stillwater, Okla.

Elections will be held at the convention for all the state officers, said Tami Watson, secretary of Young Democrats at UCO and state secretary of Young Democrats of Oklahoma.

Watson said they are trying to get the movie "The War Room" to be seen Friday night of the convention.

Workshops will be held at the

convention and on that Sunday, there will be a candidate's forum where several state and federal candidates will speak, hand out campaign literature and tell why they are running, Watson said.

A banquet will be held that night where James Carville, President Clinton's campaign manager in the 1994 Clinton/Gore campaign, will be the keynote speaker.

Carville is currently a political advisor, said Watson.

"We're very excited," she said.

Watson said the Oklahoma Democratic Party couldn't get Carville, so they (Young Demo-

crats) are very happy.

"We're very, very lucky and very, very proud," she said.

With the help of Ashley Andrews, convention director and Torun Leek who works in Gov.

David Walter's office, they were able to get Carville to come and speak, said Watson.

Any interested UCO Young Democrats can attend the convention with a $25 registration fee.

Those interested in going or joining the Young Democrats can contact Amy Fludson at 557-0605.

Watson said those interested in going need to contact Hudson as soon as possible.

UCO's TV station wins in sports show category The National Association of College Broadcasters recently awarded the University of Central Oklahoma television station, KCSU-TV, a finalist award in the ESPN College TV Sports Show category.

"We sent the tapes in, and when we didn't hear from them for so long , we thought we didn't win ," said Keith May, sophomore sports anchor.

KCSU-TV submitted two sportscasts in the competition last

semester.

"It's good to see the sports award, because our awards are pretty balanced, winning at both the state and national levels in news, production and now sports," said Jerry Howard, UCO oral communications instructor.

"Some of the universities in the competition hire professional help and one is even an NBC affiliate," said Keith Swezey, oral communications instructor at UCO.

UCO professor receives teaching fellowship

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Dr. Sherri D. NV. Massey, an assistant professor of journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma, was awarded a teaching fellowship to Indiana University where she will attend a one-week journalism education workshop during the summer.

"I call the teaching fellowship an award because I consider it an honor to be chosen for it," said Massey.

"I was nominated for the fellowship to represent UCO by Dr. Terry M. Clark, professor of journalism at UCO," said Massey.

Fifteen professors who are rela-

tively new in the field of journalism education are selected from around the nation to represent their colleges, said Massey.

The seminar is aimed mainly at teaching journalism professors how to teach their courses, said Massey.

"When I heard about the workshop, I was very interested because when you're working on your doctorate, they don't teach you how to teach," said Massey.

"They teach you the subject matter, and you have to learn to teach on your own."

The seminar is a mixture of classroom-style lectures and hands-on projects. It allows the professors to interact with one another and meet people from

Couple gets married in UCO's Y-Chapel

By Janet Runge Staff Writer

"To love and to cherish as long as we live."

With these words Cate Redding, senior theater major at the University of Central Oklahoma, married Lace Dickerson March 26 at the Y- Chapel.

Redding, who will graduate in May, said she has always loved the Y-Chapel.

"I liked the stained glass windows and the charm of the building," she said.

A few months ago, Redding had no idea that she would be married so soon.

"Lace proposed to me on Valentine's Day, and I thought it would be nice to have my married name on my graduation diploma," she said. "So we set the date in advance of graduation ceremonies."

Redding said that her fiancee hadn't seen the chapel before the day of the wedding.

"He knew it was important to me that we get married in the chapel, so he agreed to the wedding being held there," she said.

"When he first saw it, his reaction was 'awesome' ."

Redding works in the costume shop on campus and made her own wedding dress.

"The dress was from an authentic 1930s pattern and was made from velvet and chiffon," she said.

She also made the dresses for her sister and daughter.

Redding said it took her about a month to finish all of the dresses.

Robert Pittenridge, a guest designer at UCO, designed her hat and veil and also designed and put together the floral arrangements of calla lilies, bridal wreath and English ivy.

Mary Freeh, costumer for UCO, catered the food and made the three-tiered wedding cake.

She also sang before the wedding ceremony with her sister Joanne Trombley and Eric Key, a music-theater major at UCO. Doug Getzoff, associate pro-

fessor of oral communications at UCO, took photographs of the wedding.

"I have a lot of close friends in the theater department, and they all offered to help me with the wedding," said Redding. "I couldn't have done it without their help and support."

The Rev. Dick Fisher from Oklahoma City performed the ceremony.

He cautioned the couple to remember three principles of marriage.

Always communicate, always take the blame in an argument and never yell at each other unless the house is on fire were the rules, said Fisher.

The reception was held for the wedding guests at Mitchell Hall.

"I feel the wedding was special because I was married on the campus of the same university that I'm graduating from," she said.

Redding, now Dickerson, said they plan to take a late honeymoon next summer and canoe down the Illinois River.

The story was, of course, about "Baby Jessica," a child who was given up for adoption by her mother who then attempted to reclaim the child after it was found out that she had lied about the identity of the child's father and gotten another man to sign away parental rights.

We need to make it easier to revoke the parental rights of people who abuse or neglect their children.

We need to stop worrying so much about the feelings of irresponsible people and start worrying about the children who are often at the mercy of someone else's irresponsibility.

Some of this may sound a little hard. But taking care of our children is a good place to start.

Roadkill Conversations

By Joe Umbarger Managing Editor

AIDS to leave 80,000 motherless NEW YORK (AP) — AIDS will leave more than 80,000 American children motherless by the year 2000 — most of them in just six cities, researchers say.

By the end of the decade, the researchers said AIDS will have killed the mothers of 30,000 children in New York; 7,200 in Newark, N.J.; 4,900 in Miami; 4,200 in San Juan, Puerto Rico; 1.900 in Los Angeles; and 1,400 in Washington.

The report was done for The Orphan Project. which is run by the Fund for the City of New York, a private organization.

The study calls the children "orphans," explaining that while some may have living fathers, the fathers of the vast majority already will have died of AIDS or will not be living with them.

With just 275,000 residents, Newark will have almost four times as many orphans as Los Angeles, population 3.5 million.

Newark "has had a heterosexual epidemic from intravenous drug abuse from the very beginning," said Carol Levine, the project's executive director.

Clinton's approval rating increases WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton's approval rating jumped 10 points after his prime-time news conference last week, according to an ABC News-Washington Post poll.

Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed March 25-27 approve of Clinton's job performance, compared with 47 percent in a March 22 poll and 52 percent in a March 8 sampling, Forty-one percent disapprove, down from 45 percent on March 22, but still slightly higher than the 40 percent level recorded March 8.

The latest poll found 56 percent believe the Whitewater affair is not an important issue and 40 percent believe it is.

The survey showed that 69 percent believe the Whitewater affair is distracting the federal government from important work, and 71 percent believe it has been over-reported by the news media.

Cookies help man survive storm ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- He had eaten his only sandwich, smoked his last cigarette and munched his last Girl Scout cookie, so horseman Bill Flatt was glad to get home from the range where he was trapped by a two-day snowstorm.

Flatt, 48, rode his horse to safety Monday after being holed up in an abandoned cabin in snow-covered mountains near Ocate since Saturday, when he said he was caught by the storm around 1 p.m.

He said he had brought several Girl Scout cookies with him as part of his lunch for Saturday, and they lasted until he left the cabin Monday morning.

Flatt, just beginning as a rancher, said the storm hit while he was looking at grazing land he hoped to lease this summer.

When the storm lifted around 9 a.m. Monday, he and his horse headed out from the cabin, but they still had to contend with four-foot snowdrifts en route home. About 18 inches of snow, not counting drifts, had fallen in the area by late Sunday.

"I didn't think the horse would make it as deep as the snow was today," Flatt said.

Sitter gives kids tumble in dryer FORD CITY, Pa. (AP) — A baby sitter was accused of giving two toddlers a tumble in a clothes dryer to scare them.

Neither youngster was seriously hurt Friday, Toshina Jack, 5, suffered burns and bruises, and her 3-ye,ar-old sister, Ashley, received unspecified injuries, state police said. They were back home from the hospital by Sunday.

No immediate charges were filed against the 14-year-old sitter.

The children's grandmother, Goldie Jack, said the sitter had admitted putting the children in the dryer.

"She told me that Toshina wouldn't go to bed, so she thought she would put her in the dryer and scare her," Jack said.

very once in a while Bubba Sue says something that really astounds me, considering it's her that says it.

It's a bitchin' day, hot and sunny. Me and Bubba Sue are cruisin', havin' a good time.

I light up a Camel and take a long, relaxing drag, and that's when this bug splats the windshield in front of me.

I hit the wipers to try and get rid of it, but that only smears the splatter into green paste across my whole field of vision 'til the wash finally dissolves it.

And Bubba Sue takes a quick philosophical gulp of Miller Lite and says, "Y'know, sometimes it's hard to figger out which is worse — bein' the bug or bein' the windshield."

Now, that's pretty deep for Bubba Sue. I mean, she's my good buddy, and I love her to death, but the woman's mind ain't exactly an information super highway. It's more of a . . . well, a two-lane blacktop, like the one we're on — a little rough in spots, reminiscent of simpler times and kind of narrow by modern standards.

But her statement is the kind of true, gut-

level wisdom usually reserved for bumper stickers and lyrics of country songs, and I think: Y'know? She's right!

Problems come up in our lives, and sometimes we're strong, rigid -- like a windshield when a bug hits it. We might get dirty, but nothing a little soulful washintwipe can't fix.

And then there's times when we're caught in life's draft, thinking we're cool 'til we get slapped against something we can't handle, something unforeseen, something terrible that causes us to crash and spill our guts.

And then Bubba Sue takes another gulp and says, "Y'know what the last thing that goes through a bugs mind when it hits the windshield is?" then answers before I have a chance to say anything. "Its butt."

Now that's the Bubba Sue I know.

Bubba Sue giggles at the joke, belches real loud, then giggles at that.

I giggle, too. Windshields are just windshields, I guess, and bugs are just bugs, and they got nothin' to do with anything else, or each other, except on those occasions when one meets the other in the air over some road.

Writers sought for Disney Studios

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer

University of Central Oklahoma students have the opportunity to work with Mickey Mouse through the Walt Disney Studios Fellowship Program in its feature film and television divisions.

The program is designed to let people concentrate on developing their craft, said Mary Nell Clark, director of the Oklahoma Film Office.

"We felt like it was a good opportunity for talented Oklahoma writers," she said.

The program is open to all writers but focuses on African Americans, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans and women, Clark said.

Students interested in feature writing must submit a completed motion picture screenplay or a fulllength, two-to-three act play, she said.

Those interested in television writing must submit a full-length, 45-paged, half-hour television script like "Mad About You," "Roseanne" and "Seinfeld' or a full-length play including one acts of more than 24 pages, Clark said.

Students must submit their material by April 15. Finalists will be selected in July.

Approximately 15 people will be chosen from across the country, she said.

"Those chosen for the Disney Fellowship will be paid $30,000 for a one-year period beginning in mid September," she said, "and those chosen from outside the Los Angeles area will be provided with airfare and one month's accommodations."

For information on how to enter, contact the Oklahoma Film Office at 1-800-766-3456.

SGA sponsors Easter egg hunt

By Janet Runge Staff Writer The Easter Bunny is coming to town.

At 10 a.m. April 2, the Student Government Association of the University of Central Oklahoma (SGA) will sponsor its third annual Easter egg hunt.

Sen. Scott Davenport, chairman of the student activities committee, said that the event is a way to get the university involved with the public.

"We are hoping for a higher turnout of children for this event than last year," he said. "Last year we had over 200 children participate in the Easter egg

hunt."

Over a thousand plastic eggs filled with candy will be hidden across the field south of theUCO fieldhouse, said Davenport.

Sen. Amy Melvin will be dressed in an Easter bunny suit, and the Edmond Fire Department will have a fire truck at the event for the public to see, he said.

SGA is asking that children bring their own Easter baskets to gather the plastic eggs in.

"We want to have a fun and exciting time," said Davenport.

"We hope to see a lot of the community there."

The Easter egg hunt is a yearly event for SGA. The event is free and open to the public.

Untamed Bronchos running wild Baseball team wins two in Missouri, pushes winning streak to 9 games

Tennis teams fall; Medonos remains undefeated

By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

The ball just did not bounce in the University of Central Oklahoma's favor Monday as the men's and women's teams fell to East Central Oklahoma.

The men were led by numberone singles player Marek Medonos. The undefeated sophomore brought his record to 12-0 by defeating John Morris 6-1,6-1.

The only other men' s singles victory came when Roberto Coronado beat Steve Lynam in three sets.

True freshman Daniel Akin lost a close match in the straight tiebreaker third set. After dropping the first set 6-7 he came back and took the second set 7-5 before dropping the tie-breaking third set 6-7. "I lost the tie breaker in the first but then in the second I got on a role," said Akin.

The only other bright spot for UCO came when Medonos and Coronado teamed up to win their ninth doubles match and remain undefeated. They rolled past Lynam and Ross Osborn 6-4 in the first set and then narrowly edged them out 7-6 in the second

to seal the win.

"We were coming off spring break in which we had no organized practice, so the basic overall game was down a bit," said Head Coach Francis Baxter. "They took time off like I wanted."

Joanie Schlunt came up with the first win of the day by eking past Kelly Diehl 7-5, 7-6.

The ladies' only other victory came when sophomore Kristi McPherson drilled Chasta Dry 60, 6-2.

An outstanding performance was added by true freshman Ana Damjanovic at number-one singles. She dropped the first set 3-6 and then came back to take the second 6-4 but could not pull out the straight tie-breaker third set and fell 6-7. "She played a straight tie-breaker in the third," said Baxter. "It was a tainted loss. I think Ana would have won if we played the third."

In doubles competition, Ashley Davis and Dia Dexter provided some excitement before falling in the third set 2-6, 6-2, 2-6.

The men and women play today as UCO hosts the Midwest Regional Duals. The women begin play at 9 a.m. and the men at 1:30.

About this time last year the University of Central Oklahoma baseball team had compiled a 618 win-loss record and were, without doubt, a struggling baseball team.

This year the Bronchos currently have an impressive record of 20-4 and after winning two contests Friday at the Missouri Southern Festival in Joplin, Mo., they have amassed a winning streak of nine games and have won 15 of their last 16 contests.

At that festival, the Bronchos used their red-hot bats to down Nebraska-Omaha 8-3 and then survived a pitcher's dual to nip Arkansas Tech 1-0.

UCO collected 10 hits against Nebraska-Omaha pitching, with five of those hits coming in the third inning, including a three-run homer by senior Dave Miller which allowed the Bronchos to 'N

.

,

jump out to a 4-0 lead.

The Mavericks responded with two runs off five hits in the fourth off UCO starter Brian Nichols which cut the lead to 4-2.

Junior David Flick gave UCO a four-run cushion with a two-run blast in the fifth inning off Nebraska-Omaha starter Chris Infeld extending the lead to 6-2.

The Mavericks scored one run in their half of the sixth, but the Bronchos scored two insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth to secure the win.

Sophomore right-hander Nichols pitched all seven innings for the Bronchos, allowing just three runs on seven hits while improving his record to 4-0 on the year.

For the Bronchos, Miller went two-for- three with three RBI with one double and a homer. Flick also put in a two-for-three effort with a triple and a homer and two RBI. Junior Eddie Jeffcoat chipped in with a two- for- three showing with two RBI.

Against Arkansas Tech, freshman lefty Greg Hall raised his record to 4-1 on the year by pitching a shutout victory. Hall struckout 11 and allowed j ust four hits and one walk in the seveninning contest.

Arkansas Tech pitcher Kevin Crafton was also impressive, striking out eight UCO batters and giving up only one run on just three hits, although the one run was enough for a UCO victory.

The Bronchos are ranked in NCAA Division II for the first time landing at 17th. UCO is batting .359 as a team with five players batting over .400.

Junior Zac Robinson leads the Bronchos with a .474 batting average. Flick tops the team in homers with seven and in RBI with 25. He is second in hitting percentage with .462.

Hall, Nichols and senior righthander Kaleb Shroeder are the Broncho's top hurlers. The three have combined for 86 of the team's 140 strikeouts.

tor. He was also appointed as the senior Oklahoman in Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush's administration.

Republican candidate Jerry Kobyluk said that one benefit to his being elected as governor would be that he understands what it takes to meet deadlines.

He told municipal leaders, "I understand what cities and towns have to come in contact with as far as regulations. And as your governor, I'd want to make it easier on cities and towns."

Kobyluk said that he is from Oklahoma County where he is a farmer, involved in the oil ; -.1u gas business and, "I pay my taxes regularly."

Vince Orza, running as a Republican, explained that he also tried for the governor's seat during the last election "because it was nothing but bureaucrats and lawyers" in government.

"None of them had ever been responsible to constituents because they get their job and they keep their job no matter what they do.

"I got into the race because I'm a business man," Orza said. "I suggest to you that my interests are in building the finest public school system anywhere in America in Oklahoma," he said, "and we are doing it in a few places.

"My intent is to de-invent government, to reduce red-tape , to be quick and make responsive answers to people so constituents get where they want to go."

Orza is a former associate professor at the University of Central Oklahoma and news anchor and reporter at a local television news station. He has a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. Orza currently owns a chain of restaurants and operates an advertising and marketing research firm.

Republican Jerry Pierce who has served 24 years as a state leg-

islator told municipal leaders that he will touch on many issues this campaign.

"First and foremost is the simple fact that I'm the best friend the taxpayers ever had at the state capitol. And that's an absolute proven fact that nobody can deny," he said. "Because of my experience in the legislature, I know how state government runs. I know how politicians play the game," Pierce said. "The good side is, I never joined them."

"What I intend to do as governor," Pierce said, "is uphold a conservative agenda based on individual initiative, self reliance and free enterprise. I intend to take a lot of issues away from the legislature and go directly to the people of Oklahoma."

Pierce said that the state's welfare system is his number one priority where he said 40 percent of those in Oklahoma on welfare are "playing the system."

Pierce said he has also served as a Tulsa police officer where he arrested a number of burglars and other felons at gunpoint.

"I know what it is like to fight the war on crime," he said.

Democratic state Senator Bernice Shedrick explained that most city leaders know her as a person who has helped reform public schools.

"I think that it is important that we take the reform that we have been able to implement and expand that to all of state government.

"I can pledge to you that I will be working with you as mayors in your community to do just that," she told the city leaders.

"I pledge that we will have a person in our office so that when we walk through that door (governor's office), all of Oklahoma will go through that door with me, including the mayors to meet the needs of your district."

On campus, there are nine official storm shelters available to the public. The shelters are in West Residence Hall, East Residence Hall, Communications Building, both Business Buildings, Art Building, Home Economics Building, Evens Hall, Lillard Administration Building and the Liberal Arts Building.

Tip 3:Find the lowest level to seek shelter in.

Shelter may be sought in a basement, closet, bathroom or interior hallway that is located away from exterior walls and windows.

Tip 4: If you are in a mobile home or automobile and a tornado is approaching, get out.

Find a low-lying ditch or ravine in which to seek shelter.

The following are terms to be familiar with: Watch: A watch is issued by the NWS for specific areas or regions when the atmospheric conditions are right for the formation of severe weather.

Warnin g: A warning is issued by NWS when severe weather has been spotted either by RADAR or human spotters. Many local Civil Defense Services will sound sirens and open public shelters when warnings are issued.

Professor, students exhibit papers at MPA conference A University of Central Oklahoma English professor and four graduate students presented papers at the annual conference of the Missouri Philological Association March 4 and 5 in Warrensburg, Mo. Dr. Kurt Hochenauer, assistant professor of English, and students Timothy Morales, Shawnn B auermeister and Gwen Vickery were on one panel and Scott Bauman was on another, said Hochenauer.

Hochenauer's panel presented papers on modern British novels, while Bauman compared the stylistic techniques of authors

Jack Kerouac and W.B. Yeats, he said.

Hochenauer said he was pleased with Bauman's presentation and thought his paper was the most interesting.

Hochenauer, along with the students on his panel were invited to submit their papers for publication in the upcoming issue of the MPA journal, said Hochenauer.

"This is the type of scholarly activity among professors and graduate students that earns a lasting amount of respect for UCO in the region and across the country," Hochenauer said.
