UCO awaits disabled act Impact substantial, some say AIDS-infected man buys sex from boys PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The alleged fetishes and sexual desires of "UncleEd" were common knowledge on the street long before police accused the AIDS-infected man of paying for sex with boys and young men, AIDS counselors say. Edward Savitz was also known as "Fast Eddie," or "Dr. Feel Good," according to counselors who canvassed neighborhoods af ter his arrest. Police believe the 50-year-old businessmen paid hundreds of boys and young men for sex, underwear and feces over the past decade. District Attorney Lynne Abraham said he used a pay scale for sex acts and paid for referrals. Police found 5,000 photographs of boys in his downtown apartment. More than 500 calls flooded local AIDS hotlines after his mug shot was released Friday. Savitz was held on $20 million bail Sunday.
By Allen Norbury Staff Writer Discrimination against disabled persons at the University of Central Oklahoma can no longer be ignored when the Americans with Disabilities Act goes into effect July 26. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, ADA gives civil rights protection to individuals with disabilities that are like those provided to persons on the basis of race, sex, national origin, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities trying to gain employment in business or industry with 25 or more employees, the report showed.
Also covered under ADA are public accommodations, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications, the report showed. "I believe it's going to be a motivating factor for the recognition of handicapped persons on the campus," said Scott Tarrant, president of the Horizons Club. The Horizons Club is made up primarily of disabled UCO students. There are 43 million Americans with one or more disabilities. The ADA is being called the "Civil Rights Act" just for them, according to a report by Laura Corter, advisory committee chairman for the Oklahoma Safety Council. "Various legal experts and industry tabloids speculate that ADA's impact on employers will be great, the report showed.

Clueless about career choices? By Penny Owen Staff Writer
After learning that nearly 700 University of Central Oklahoma students are clueless about their career choices, the Counseling and Testing Center decided to bring professionals to UCO to talk about options in the job market. The First Annual Career Discovery Fair will have several UCO graduates and other professionals available to discuss careers ranging from law enforcement and the FBI to hotel-restaurant management and communications.
Citizens settle strip-search suit NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Twenty people strip-searched after being jailed on minor traffic citations will share a $280,000 settlement from Cleveland County. County commissioners unanimously agreed Monday to pay $10,000 to the 12 men and $20,000 to the eight women in the lawsuit, which covered strip searches in 1989 and 1990. The women received more money in the settlement because it was assumed the searches were more humiliating for them, said Terisa Simmons, an attorney for 18 of the former inmates. Sheriff John Walsh said the lawsuits have forced him to drop his across-the-board strip-search policy. Jailers noted 53 incidents of contraband smuggling since the policy was dropped in April 1990, all of which strip searches probably could have prevented, Walsh said.
Law students already are gearing their curricula to specialize in this area, the report added. "What it's going to do is undoubtedly invoke hardship on some companies," said Dr. John Samaras, a UCO management professor. "We have hundreds of thousands of companies that are categorized here," he added. A report in the March 1992 issue of Technical & Skills Training, a trade magazine, said ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of an individual, a record of such an impairment or being regarded as having such an impairment.
The fair will be held between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8 in the basement of Evans Hall. Admission is free. "It's not for people looking for jobs," said Testing Coordinator Jan Miller. "It's for people looking for careers to go into."

The fair will also have the DISCOVER program available, which outlines in great detail most career paths. For instance, DISCOVER can tell the best (and worst) geographic locations for a particular career, the salary ranges (some of which break them down by men and women) and compatible careers to switch over to. Once students decide on a career, counselors are available to direct those students toward the next step in meeting their goal, Miller said. "College is too large of an investment to waste on indecision," Miller said. "We have a lot of older students who come in and want to change midstream and go back to school. So much of this would be unnecessary if the See Career, page 7

t began with the usual lame Barbara Walters special. An hour of the rich and famous exposing various childhood traumas and sobbing floods of tears on national television in order to show the rest of America that money and power have not made them completely inhuman. Then the long-awaited festivities began. And everything said in the special went right out the limousine window. The announcer's voice echoed grandly as the semi-posh and the posh-posh marched double file out of their black-patent cars and into the majestic auditorium. The men as always were dressed in their penguin suits. (Thank God marshmallow shoes went out of style years ago.) And why can't they get some variation in these black suits. Like maybe a nice black-and-white paisley pattern. Would that be such a change? And then came the women, most of whom looked like they were permanently attached to the arms of their male counterparts. How disgusting! And as though it were not enough that they were leeching onto these men like Bounce dryer sheets stick to the laundry, most of the women were barely dressed. (With the exception of Susan Sarandon, who is definitely very pregnant.) The stars committed a royal display of fashion faux pas at its highest. Geena Davis, who was up for the best actress award, looked like a giant white flamingo who had lost her way out of the opening scenes of "Miami Vice." And Sally Field, who announced some award or another, looked like she had a gob of violets growing out of her armpits. The thing that is most irritating about the awards is that you know these women spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on these limp pieces of mostly unironed material. Why, if these famous people want the public to know that they are just plain old hometown folks do they commit this sacreligious act each and every year. The point being is that if you want people to think you are an average person, then don't display yourself as high and mighty royalty. Even if it is for only one night.
Correction In the March 26 edition of the Vista, a quote was attributed to student senate candidate Jason Campbell, concerning the marketing of UCO. The quote should have been attributed to Chris Folsom. The Vista editors regret the error.

Hollywood Hokum Silicone snickers, Jack jokes; Barbra gets snubbed once again ooray for Hollywood! Yes, it's that time of year for the first annual Clark awards, based loosely on the Academy awards. And the first winner on the agenda is the Academy's Best Supporting Actor — Jack Palance for "City Slickers." Jack has won the honorable award of the Best Supporting Actor whose Character Dies in the Middle of the Movie. Unfortunately, Jack wasn't here today to pick up his award, which sort of looks like a dead cocker spaniel. In fact, none of the winners decided to pick up their awards. I'm hurt guys. Is it my breath? Second up is Mercedes Ruehl, the Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress in "The Fisher King." She has won the Clark award, let's call it the `Okie,' for Coolest Name that I Might Use to Name one of My Kids. Winner of four Oscars and only one Okie is "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." It won Oscars for Visual Effects, Sound Effects Editing, Sound and Make-Up. "T2" gets the Okie award for Yeah, Right, Real Hard Make-Up. It was mostly done by computers. Winner of the Okie for Most Cool and Radical Acceptance Speech, and the Oscar for Documentary on a Short Subject, is Debra Chasnoff. She was the brain behind "Deadly Deception: General Electric, Nuclear Weapons and Our Enviroment." Ms. Chasnoff really dogged GE, and urged us to ban the company. I usually don't ban things, but I was impressed. George Lucas, the innovative mind who brought us Ewoks, Indiana Jones and "Willow," won the Irving G. Thalberg Award for
directing and producing. He receives the I Hope Yoda Goes to A Speech Pathologist award. Tom Hanks, the star of "Big," "Splash" and the classic "Joe vs. the Volcano," did not win an Oscar. But he does receive an Okie for Most Inventive Way to Insult Half the Audience. The escorts for the stars from the podium to backstage won the Okie for Wearing Dresses that Prove Tom Hanks Right. Oliver Stone, an Oscar nominee for Best Director, gets the Okie for HA! The Ever-So-Controversial Director Doesn't Get Jack Crap. Kevin Costner, the presenter for the Best Film, receives the Okie for Overused Sex Symbol Gets Zilch This Year. Billy Crystal, the emcee for the evening, received not even a nomination. But he does receive several Okies. He is the recipient of the Milking the Jack Palance Joke For All He Could Get, the Most Impressive Impersonation of Paul Tsongas Does Hannibal Lecter, Thank God for Billy Crystal, If Not For Him the Oscars Would Be a Drag and the Please Billy, Please Billy, Don't Sing Again awards. Barbra Streisand was not nominated for the Best Director award for her work on the "Prince of Tides," and many people complained about the fact. But she is the lucky recipient of the Oh God, Barb, Please Stop Kissing Up to the Camera. The organizers of the Oscars get a special award this year. They receive a special Okie for Please Let These Excellent Actors Speak Their Own Minds and Forget the Damn Teleprompter. Dana Carvey and Mike Meyers presented the award for something
or other. But they get the award for "Wayne's World" is Cool, But Please Save it for Saturday Night Live. Now we get to the main part of the Okie awards. That's right. Step right up Jodie Foster. She was the Academy winner for Best Actress for "The Silence of the Lambs." She is a recipient of the Okie for the Thank You Jodie for Wearing Something Tasteful this Time award. The Best Director winner was Jonathon Demme for "The Silence of the Lambs." And I can't think of anything witty to say about this guy. So onto the next Demme category. For Best Actor of the year for "The Silence of the Lambs," was Anthony Hopkins, whose earlier works include "The Elephant Man," "Magic," "The Bounty" and numerous others. He gets an Okie for Genuine Gratitude for Winning, Unlike Last Year's Costner. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for. No, the end of the column is the next paragraph, this is the Academy's Best Picture. "The Silence of the Lambs" pulled this and four other Oscars, Monday night. They get two Okies, also. Numero Uno, the movie receives the Psychopathic Psychiatrist Sinks Incisors into Several Oscars award. And the Picture Waiting for a Sequel so They Can Rake In the Big Bucks award. So here it is, the end of my tireless wit. I have more, but I can't stay. Yes, I know you could read this forever, but I do have to go. You see, I'm having an old professor for dinner. —T.A.

Glamour gone after too many $.39 tacos hen I was about seven years old, the concept of being poor was sorta cool and romantic. The whole starving artist image seemed very glamorous and high fashion. After eating macaroni and cheese for the past 37 days in a row, however, my views on poverty have slightly changed. I no longer view a dollar as 100 pennies—a buck now represents 10 packages of Ramen noodles. A night on the town is not the ballet and champagne; it's Boone's Farm and Super Saver Cinema. Instead of being cutting edge, I'm cutting coupons. And, because of my major lack of cash, they now know me by name at the Plasma Alliance Center. Is this glamorous or what? Being poor has also made me appreciate the finer (translation: cheaper) things in life: a walk in the park, a good book, a piping hot taco from Taco Bell's 39 cent value menu. Price comes before pleasure. Since I have zero dinero, my boyfriend and I have had to improvise in the dating department—last week our hot date consisted of eating frozen pizza at my pad (89 cents), living it up at Flamingo Bingo (5 bucks) and watching "Studs" and "Married...With Children" (free). I'm sure Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere never had it so good. There are some positive aspects to living in the lean lane. I know all of the best thrift stores in town. I spend more quality time with my cat, Elvis. I have tried every single variety of Campbell's Soup. I haven't missed an episode of "In Living Color." And, after listening to it a zillion times, I know every word on the new Red Hot Chili Peppers tape. All these things make me a much better person, I'm sure. Being poor reeks. But, at risk of sounding a little on the Velveeta side, my life could be a lot worse. I could have icky disease or not know how to dance or not have a car or really, really like Garth Brooks. And that would suck way more than being poor ever could. —Julie Taylor

He's hopping mad... beer's getting trendy
0
ne of the first signs that a race has evolved into a culture is the advent of a process designed to make beer. Brewing equipment has been discovered in the earliest civilzations of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Beer making devices have even been found in primitive locations like New Guinea and Texas. But something has happened to this once noble elixir that I find quite disturbing. In America the character of beer drinking has changed from the honest pursuit of the common man into a disgustingly trendy art form. In the old days beer was a bitter, strong-willed libation consumed in mass quantities by the Average Joe. He would quaff his potation for a variety of causes ranging from salutations to martial challenges. But, the reason for tossing down the magic brew was always the same, to once again experience that joyous, funning feeling that only beer can so cheaply provide. These days the pseudo-neuvo riche sop up all manner of concoctions pretending to be beer, and for all the wrong reasons. They pretend to receive social gratification not from the effect of the beverage, but from the cuiltural experience of swilling down some designer brew. It's completely revolting. And the choices available in the market place are completely mind-boggling. In the '50s and '60s it was simple. Beers had names like Schlitz and Blatz and Falstaff and it was just called beer. Now beers come with names like Extra Gold, Draft, Dry and Lite. The beer I grew up drinking was already golden in color and didn't need anything Extra. Calling beer in a can Draft is simply a lie. Draft beer comes from a tap pulled by a squinty-eyed middle-aged fat guy with a cigaretter dangling from his lips. Now they make something called Dry beer. Is that like powdered beer you take on camping trips? And, what is a Lite beer anyway, and why would anyone want to waste their time drinking it? Shouldn't getting filled up and numbed out be part of the process? It's a real shame. The once grand act of getting bombed on a good honest beer is gone forever. V —Sam Powell
Ethnic groups not so ethnic
T
wice in the past week, I have come face to face with the opinions of people who feel they are being left out because organizations, groups and pageants may have a related ethnic group as part of the organization name. "WAKE UP PEOPLE, PLEASE!!!" Consider the facts: 1. For hundreds of years blacks and other minorities were forced to be separate. (This is America.) 2. After asking, protesting and demanding to be allowed into white organizations, groups and pageants, blacks and other minorities were denied entry. (This is America.) 3. Eventually access into white organizations, groups and pageants was granted, however, blacks and other minorities were not then nor are now being treated fairly. (This is America.)
I would like to ask Shemal Medawattage and other concerned students if they have ever tried to become a member or apply to be part of any ethnic based organization. Better yet, how many nonethnic groups are you a member that helps promote unity among the races. If they had, they would know that these groups deal with the interest of the people they represent. And who better to represent the interests of an AsianAmerican community than an Asian-American from that cornmunity, who better to represent the interest of a Black-American community than a BlackAmerican from that community. White communities do not commonly elect minority leaders to represent them. Maybe that is a better place to start to seek change. (We are like children and our pa-
rent is the government — It's hard to do as they say and not as they do.) This does not mean help and support is not wanted or needed from all ethnic groups. Finally, I would like to say that I can understand the desire of those people who want to see more unity on this campus as well as in the world, I want the same, but don't take away from a group of people that has been forced to be the essence of their pride to deal with your own feelings of insecurity about racism. There are other ways to feel more comfortable about ethnic groups and organizations. Try being a friend and get involved first before you judge and make conclusions. It's not as hard as you think. —Celia O'Dell UCO student
English major sounds off; defends traditional students pon reading the letter by Debbie Weinbel in the Vista March 26, I felt it couldn't go without response. I will countersuit each and every allegation seperately. First of all, lady, 'you older students' may be older in years, but who are you to say that you've experienced more in life than the fresh-out-of-high-school students? You don't know what each student has been through in life! Secondly, you think that the traditional students hate your guts? By the sound of you (sic) attitude, it's probably you they hate, not older students in general. Students are required to attend class as set by each professor seperately. I don't think that one can distinguish who skips class as
U
younger or older. As for the homework. Any student concerned about their grades is going to do the required reading, assignments and anything else asked of them as students. You make it sound as if you are the only one in the class who turns in the homework. Thirdly, lady, if any student didn't openly appreciate the education being offered to them, they wouldn't waste time or money. College is not something that is forced upon us, it is a choice that each one of us can make. Lastly, you have no right, whatso-ever, to make any rash generalization. If your basing your haggish views on your own personal experiences years ago, then you're definetly way off base. You need to get a clue!!
You sound like an analretentive hag who found herself at a dead-end job and tried to salvage what was left of her life. Here's some free advice to you, you may choose to call it opinion—being a wanna-be' with a million options open to us, is a hell-of-a-lot better than being a 'has-been' with nothing better to do than sit around, pass judgement on those around you, and envy the younger generatibn. But, yes, you are probably right about one thing. I don't know you personally, and I think I can safetly (sic) say that I hate your guts too!

Condoms at cost, not free
I
n response to Julie Taylor's letter (March 3, Vista Letters, "Condom Correspondence") I would like to illustrate a few points. First, I have no qualms with condoms being made available on campus to UCO students. The problem with a program which provides free condoms is that my
tax dollars, which support this university and part of my tuition and or fees, are being used to support this "valuable public service." Condoms should be available, but at cost. Why should my taxes and fees be used to pay for someone else's social deviance when they could be used to offer additional classes or expanded
parking? I perfectly understand the facts about AIDS and expect that any other educated student should also. Any educated person should be willing to pay for condoms to protect themselves, or risk paying the ultimate price for their actions. —Tim M. Lloyd Political Science major

Degree not enough now Today's job-hunters need hands on experience By Tami Watson Student Writer Just a college degree may not get a student a job these days. Students must have experience, said KWTV 9 News Director Tom Newberry. Newberry spoke to University of Central Oklahoma broadcasting majors at an Oklahoma Broadcast-
ing Education Association meeting last week. Emphasizing the importance of knowing how to do several jobs well for success in the broadcasting field, Newberry said many news stations are consolidating and employees are required to have more than one skill. For instance, a reporter may also be required to be a skilled
photographer. He said there is not much turnover in the business, so experience is what is going to land one qualified student a job over another. Newberry also stressed the importance of hands-on journalism courses, the ability to write and listen and the importance of keeping up with current events. V

`A candle is lit...comfort flickers' UCO student loses battle with AIDS; vigil held in memory of Doug Longino By Penny Owen Staff Writer
On December 26, 1991, Doug Longino was married. Less than three months later, Doug Longino died. Doug, a University of Central Oklahoma senior, becomes another chilling statistic to the disease of AIDS, the incurable and indiscriminate killer that, by the end of February, claimed 213,641 victims. Helplessly, Doug's survivors and friends gather in awe and disbelief, searching, if not for a solution to what is fast approaching epidemic levels, for a flicker of comfort and understanding. A candle is lit. Then two, then fifty. The room is so quiet that the teardrops crash to the floor. Choking back a sob, someone speaks. "There is no sign on the horizon for any kind of cure or vaccine,"
said an emotional Dr. Lewis Irving who, as Doug's sociology professor and friend over the last few years, watched Doug go from a highly motivated human development major to a prisoner of AZT injections and certain premature death. "The only way we can prevent this is to get people to listen," he continued, now angry. "We have to take command of our voices and scream, because if we don't scream, we don't win." On the left side of the circle in the candlelit room, a young boy innocently holds his mother's hand. The boy has Doug's eyes, and definitely Doug's smile. The boy is Jordan, his six-yearold son. Nearby stands Doug's mother, sister and grandparents, together for the first time in a long time. And his wife, Robin, who clutches a tissue to capture the gasps from her open wound. Someone across the room, with
a perspiring brow illuminated by the candle he holds, describes the gamut of emotion he has experienced since testing positive for AIDS. If nothing else, AIDS is a motivator, he said, for it wasn't until he realized he was dying that he really began living. Doug only had a little cough when he checked himself into the hospital six weeks ago. But AIDS doesn't allow even the simplest infections to heal. While rapidly losing 50 pounds during his last days, Doug seized the chance to send personal notes to those he held dear. Goodbye notes. "When I hugged him for the last time, he was burning up," recalled Irving. "I wish this was the last memorial service we had to do," he released a defeated sigh. "But it's the first of many." V

Fund started By Shene Murphy Staff Writer Although Douglas Ray Longino has died of AIDS, his example and voice will continue on at the University of Central Oklahoma campus through a special fund being organized by Dr. Lewis Irving, UCO sociology professor. The Longino AIDS Awareness Fund (LAAF) will be a way to extend education to the population, Irving said. Irving said the abbreviation of the fund—LAAF—has a very significant meaning behind it. "Doug was a positive and aggressive man, and he laughed at AIDS," he said. "The fund will be carried on as a serious matter; the beauty of it as well as the horror." Anyone interested in donating to this fund may do so by writing a check to UCO, including the funds account number and enter LAAFs in the bottom left hand corner of the check. The money donated to this fund is a tax deduction, he said. For more information, contact Dr. Lewis Irving at 341-2980 ext. 5276 at 528-4556. V

Doctor doubles as writer Reading by author to be followed by question and answer session
By Pam Thurman Staff Writer Pre-med students and creative writing students will have a chance to have their questions about both professions answered at 9:40 a.m. Monday, April 6, when Ethan Canin, doctor and author speaks in Pegasus Theater at the University of Central Oklahoma. Carlin currently teaches at the Writers Workshop at the University of Iowa, where he graduated in 1984 with an M.F.A. degree. He sold his first book, a collection of short stories, in 1988 while a student at Harvard medical school. It spent two months on the New Y orkTimes best seller list and was translated into ten languages. He completed his M.D. degree at Harvard last fall, said Susan Spencer, UCO English instructor. Also during the fall, Canin's latest book was released. Blue River is the story of two brothers, one seemingly good, one seemingly bad. In an article that appeared in January in the New York Times Canin said, "I wanted to write a book where at the end you didn't know who the good character was."
The article stated that advance copies of his new book had "made him one of the most talked about writers at last spring's American Bookseller's Association meeting in New York." Spencer said she invited Canin to give a reading of his work at UCO after she read the article about him. "He's from California and I'm from California, I contacted him...and told him we're really, really crazy about him here...and I talked him into coming out," Spencer said. Canin told her he loves commuter schools. He said the mix of the older and younger students, and the community feel appealed to him so much he was willing to make time in an already tight schedule to visit UCO, Spencer said. "Many of our students, especially in the creative studies department, are coming back to school. A lot of them are in their 40s and 50s and they're doing this for personal enrichment. Canin thought that would be kind of interesting—to get into that kind of environment," Spencer said. After Canin reads from one of his works, there will be a question
and answer session, she said. "I'm sure he gets tired of just answering questions about fiction," Spencer said, "and if somebody asked him about medical school, he'd love it." Canin's visit is sponsored by the English department and the English Society, a university organization founded last fall, Spencer said. Dr. Sandra Mayfield, chairperson of UCO's English department, is co-sponsor of the club along with Allen Rice. Mayfield said, "The cost of membership is $5. Anyone is welcome to join, whether English majors or not. The English Society is an organization that promotes writing and literature. This is the climax of their programs this year." She also said all English classes will be dismissed to attend Canin's reading in Pegasus Theater. For information on the English Society and Canin's visit, contact Mayfield at ext. 5632, Rehban at 348-5987, or Mellodie Pride after 5 p.m. at 340-7079. v

Coed wins Truman scholarship; $30Gs waiting By Angela Mitchell Student Writer A University of Central Oklahoma student was selected as the recipient for the 1992 $30,000 Truman Scholarship, an award received by only one other UCO student. Joycelyn Stevens is a junior with a double major in Spanish and political science and holds a 4.0 GPA. She said when the scholarship applications were first being handed out she was not going to apply. "It sounded interesting but I thought 'no way'," said Stevens. "But then one of my professors suggested I apply. He said I had a good chance of winning. Even that was a big honor because each university can only have four applicants." The application was very detailed. In it, she was asked to write a public policy, she said.

Stevens had to qualify by being in the upper quarter of her class, show leadership skills, be a fulltime student, and be committed to a career in government or public service.
The $30,000 goes towards the student's senior year in college and graduate school. It is given directly to the approved university or graduate school. Stevens plans to attend Georgetown University in Washington
"I didn't hear from them until I received a letter stating I was a finalist and had to go to an interview on Feb. 10 in Austin, Texas," she said. "It was scary. They got out

Disabled no longer applies to just physical disabilities. The law would cover such disabilities as dyslexia and color blindness, the report said. Two sections of employment are covered, one being the physical job site and the other being employment practices. The ADA makes it illegal for those with 25 or more employees to discriminate against a qualified applicant or employee because of the known or perceived disability. Employers must reasonably accommodate the disabilities of qualified applicants or employees, unless an undue hardship would result. At the same time, the law recognizes that implementation may cause undue hardship on some employers. However, the burden to prove that accommodation of qualified applicants with disabilities would cause undue hardship rests upon the employer. According to the Technical & Skills Training report, reasonable accommodation also applies to employment practices and decisions. A reasonable accommodation may mean restructuring jobs,
creating part-time or modified work schedules as well as reassigning the employee to a vacant position. Also included are appropriately modifying or acquiring equipment or devices and modifying examinations or training material, the report added. "In like manner, the company is not expected to go out of business though," Samaras said. The report also showed that ADA's intent is to provide opportunities to disabled individuals and to ask the employer to consider in greater detail whether a given disability really limits or precludes a person from employment. Also it asks if a reasonable change in the job description or job setting might enable a disabled person to perform the job, then mandate the employer to make the respective changes. In addition to accommodations, ADA will make a difference in hiring practices. All medical exams must occur after an initial job offer has been made, Samaras said. Questions that can be asked during an interview or on an application have changed also.
A question about a disability or a condition that could affect job performance are no longer allowed, Corter said. Inquiries about workers compensation and injuries on the job are banned as well, she added. "I feel there has to be some stipulation after a person is hired that says once a person is hired and something happens similar to an event that has occurred once befored, the company should not have to pay for it," said Dr. Gayle Kearnes, a UCO occupational and technology professor. "There are people out there who are waiting for accidents to happen," she added. ADA also sets new standards for public accommodations, transportation, state and local government as well as telecommunications relay services. Public accommodations such as hotels, restaurants, doctors offices, theaters and private schools are all places that cannot discriminate against the disabled. However, private clubs and religious organizations are exempt, according to the justice department. Transit authorities must provide comparable paratransit or other special transportation services to disabled persons who cannot used
fixed route bus systems, unless an undue burden would exist, the report added. Companies offering telephone service to the general public must offer telephone relay services to individuals who use telecommunications devices for the deaf or similar devices, the report said. Remedies would include alteration of facilities, monetary damages and civil penalties, Samaras said. Richard Sullivan, a UCO professor of occupational and technology education, said, "I realize that for some industry this requires quite a bit of change, but I think that's good." "It appears to me that it is asking business and industry to do what we in education have been doing for years: to accommodate the disabled in the work force," he added. "I've been at UCO for 10 years and I think we have always tried to
We have failed to use them as adequately as we could have, he said. "The reason we haven't done this is we feel there is something wrong with people that are handicapped," he said. It's regrettable that business as a whole has not seen fit to try to employ as many handicapped persons as it could, he added. "The thrust of the whole thing is to get people to quit discriminating against handicapped persons," he added. However, Tarrant said that ADA doesn't have any teeth. "It's not very hard for an employer to prove a hardship would occur." V

Golfers repeat Van Horn finishes second By Bill Kramer
Staff Writer
Craig Van Horn finished second with a 5-over-par 218 to lead Central Oklahoma to a 13-stroke victory and its second-straight UCO/ KickingBird Invitational golf championship Tuesday afternoon in Edmond. All five Broncho golfers placed among the top 20 individuals in the 84-man field of finishers. Van Horn, who shot a meet-low 3-under-par 68 in the second round, was four shots off the pace of Texas Wesleyan's Chris Flores, who won medalist honors with a 70-71-73=214. TWU failed to gain ground on the Bronchos after Monday's two opening rounds, in which it trailed by the same 13-stroke margin, 583-596. UCO's Randy Keck placed fifth individually, finishing with a 3-overpar 75 Tuesday to total 222. Teammate Craig McClain was one stroke better in the final round but wound up seventh at 223. Kirk Freyer and freshman Sean Lee tied for 20th with identical scores of 229. Freyer shot a one-under 70 Monday afternoon and was sixth overall but fell 14 places after his final round score of 82. Lee moved up from 22nd after his final round of 75. Fellow Lone Star Conference foe East Texas State was third, 21 strokes off UCO's sizzling pace. Southwestern Oklahoma State placed fourth at 911, followed by Oklahoma City at 912 and the other LSC entry, Cameron, at 914.

Broncho hoopsters rewrite record book By Justin Harper
Sports Editor
Whoever it was that said "records are made to be broken," must have been a Central Oklahoma basketball fan. However if that were true he should have used a more precise word than "broken", obliterated is more like it. The 1991-92 men's hoops team broke or tied 40 school records, seven Lone Star Conference standards and three NCAA II marks.

The Bronchos 3,566 points, 23 one-hundred point games and 353 three-pointers are all UCO, LSC and NCAA II season records. The Bronchos set school and LSC season records for field goals made (1,321) and scoring average (111). UCO's 367 steals, 571 free throws made, 1,477 rebounds and 686 assists were also school records.
Superior pitching hurled Central Oklahoma's softball team to a 5-2 record in the Kansas Wesleyan Invitational over the weekend, claiming third place for the Lady Bronchos. The injuries of standout pitcher Genny Honea (shoulder) and AllAmerica catcher candidate Amy Douglas (eye) forced younger players into pressurized situations, especially on the mound. But the youngsters responded positively. Sophomore hurlers Christy Burcham and Jody Galbraith each picked up two victories, and so-

phomore teammate Lisa Oliver recorded a win in her first collegiate pitching outing. UCO, now 15-10, beate Doane (Neb.) 1-0 in the opener as Burcham pitched a three-hit shutout. Galbraith then responded with a three-hit, 4-1 win over Kansas Wesleyan. Burcham absorbed a 4-0 loss to Northeastern. Then, Galbraith shut down St. Mary's of the Plains 7-0, before Burcham hurled UCO past Northwest Iowa, 6-1. Oliver followed up with a fivehit 2-1 win over Bethany College.

Does he "have a bird" or is he just "blue?" Translated from German, this expression means "is he crazy" or is he just "drunk?" Understanding foreign slang is tough, but a new University of Central Oklahoma course intends to clear up a lot of confusing everyday German expressions. The course, called "Idiomatic/ Colloquial German," will explain typical German phrases, proverbs and words so the German student can understand native `streettalk,' said Assistant German Pro-
A group of students at the University of Central Oklahoma are re-establishing the Circle-K Club and ratifying its constitution. The Circle-K Club, affiliated with the Kiwanis Clubs, was once an official student organization on the UCO campus. It became ineffective in 1969, said Jalal Daneshfar, activities coordinator at the International Office. "The Kiwanas Club is an international club that's involved in community services," Daneshfar said.
fessor Gerhard Kallienke, course instructor. "Slang and idiomatic expressions are usually ignored in textbooks," said Kallienke. "So we will try to bridge the gap between the higher-class German taught in textbooks and the real German spoken in Germany." For instance, although German students may understand the meaning of every word, they have no way of interpreting an expression like "Who says A must also say B." (Which means "one must finish what they start"). "There's nothing more frustrating than to know every word in a foreign language and it still not
make sense," said Kallienke. The class is offered this summer to both undergraduates and graduates. Permission is required for undergraduates with less than one year of German. Graduate students must have completed 18 hours of German. It will meet from 10:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m., Monday through Thursday, from June 1 through 24. The class is not listed in the summer catalog, but students can enroll by using course numbers 3992, section 4634 (undergraduate) or 5912, section 4635 (graduate). Two German courses currently listed in the summer catalog have
been cancelled: "German Skills Proficiency" for undergraduates and "German Skills for Teachers," said Kallienke. Unique sayings exist in other languages as well An example is the English expression "He drives me crazy," which makes no sense when interpreted literally, said Kallienke. On the other hand, an American in Germany may find statements such as "You make an elephant out of a mosquito" or "No finger bent makes" ambiguous. Curious of the interpretation? Enroll in the course. V
PRINCIPLES of SOUND. RETIREMENT INVESTING
"Once we become active as a club, we'll also have communication with the other Circle-K Clubs around the country. There are over 700 Circle-K Clubs in various schools in the United States," Daneshfar added. The group meets every Tuesday at 5:10 p.m. in the Conference Room of Evans Hall. Those interested in becoming involved are encouraged to attend. V

• GRUNGE..On the tide of bands flowing out of the new, hip rock town Seattle comes Pearl Jam, one of the hardest rocking and most lyrical bands to raise head above water lately. Ten, the band's latest CD offering from these long-haired hunks o' manhood, offers a sweet alternative to music fans sick of John Mellencamp repeats and "Stairway to Heaven" one too many times. Especially rockin' with a soaring chorus is the third track on the disc, "Alive"... • PARTY TIME!..Also out and selling like hot cakes is the "Wayne's World" soundtrack. This disc offers the best of the `70s opera rock with "Bohemian Rhapsody" (imagine, a new generation of music fans being exposed to Freddie Mercury). Also excellent is the Gary Wright remake of his we've-taken-too-many-halluci nogenic-drugs tune, "Dream Weaver." However, the disc does have it's weak spots. At all costs, avoid the lame-o Bulletboys attempt to be sexual, "Rock Candy." Also skip over Cin-
unknown band and songwriters extraordinaire, trip the pop fantastic with their latest offering "Vinyl." The band, previously known to a select few for tunes such as "Scenario," shines bright on the new disc. Highlights are "Haven't Got a Clue" and "Until the Next Time"... • CITY ROCK..Bryan Adams has cancelled, ("Oh, the humanity!), but hey, who cares, Axl's comin' to town! The gods of guitar and psychosis, Guns n Roses, will be hitting the Myriad hard Monday night. Notice if you have your tickets that the show is scheduled to start "around 9:30." Given Axl's penchant in the past for showing up late, the promoters probably were wise to keep all bases covered in case he once again pulls a latewait... Speaking of GNR, Slash has signed on to endorse "Black Death" vodka, a liquor sold in a flask shaped like a casket. The brand and Slash himself have already been slammed by health groups and the Surgeon General for supposedly marketing the vodka to young people. Apparently, those wacky kids really go for that death

Monday was the big night, and, as usual, Billy Crystal was the only saving grace.

"Silence" swept all the big categories, taking Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins, Best Actress for Jodie Foster, Best Director for cool dude Jonathan Demme, and the big one, Best Picture. A truly novel happening, that a horror film could receive such adulation. "Silence" deserved it. V

Oklahoma gets B- for protection of individual's sexual rights OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A national advocacy group has given Oklahoma and Kansas higher scores than five other regional states for their efforts to protect the sexual rights of individuals. Oklahoma and Kansas both scored a B- in the survey conducted by the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States. Missouri received the worst grade, F; Arkansas, Colorado and Nebraska were somewhat better with Ds; and Texas received a C. The New York City-based organization gave Oklahoma a B- because it is a state that has mandated AIDS education in the public schools, and it is a state that doesn't have restrictive laws on abortion and gay rights, officials said. States are docked grade points if they have specific restrictions in the areas of abortion, sexual behaviors, sexually explicit materials and sex education. Only Connecticut and New Jersey received the highest grades of A-, while Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee joined Missouri in the failing-grade category.
Woman awakens to find intruder sleeping next to her in bed BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — A mother whose husband was away on business woke up to find an intruder in her home — and asleep in her bed. The 32-year-old woman first heard someone breathing Sunday morning, and then opened her eyes to find a man with his back to her under the covers of the king-size bed. She picked up her baby daughter asleep beside her and crept away to call police. After leaving the second-floor of the rented house, the woman alerted a renter downstairs, "I said 'Quick, there's somebody in my bed, and I don't think it's my husband,'" she recalled. Officers arrived at the Burbank residence to find Robert Charles Waddell, 41, of Los Angeles still asleep, clad in underwear and a shirt. Waddell told officers he had been drinking and could not remember entering the house or getting into the bed..
Man arrested after toting gun that killed Oswald to Capitol WASHINGTON (AP) — The gun Jack Ruby used to kill Lee Harvey Oswald, sold at auction last year by Ruby's brother, now sits in a police evidence locker after a man was arrested over the weekend for carrying it onto the grounds of the Capitol. Capitol Police confirmed Sunday night the arrest of Robert Luongo, whom The Washington Post described as a representative of the $220,000 gun's owner. Luongo was quoted as saying he feared the .38-caliber Colt Cobra would wind up being destroyed — the common fate of all firearms seized in the District of Columbia. The paper quoted Capitol police as saying that Luongo was standing on the Capitol's east plaza Saturday afternoon when House Speaker Thomas Foley entered the building. The officer told Luongo who Foley was and Luongo reportedly said, "I bet he'd like to see the gun I have in my case." The officer became concerned and asked to look in Luongo' s case, the Post said, adding that police said the man was arrested immediately afterward and did not have a chance to speak to Foley. Luongo contended he waited about a half hour until Foley left the Capitol and approached the speaker, introduced himself and after a brief conversation walked away without opening the case, the Post said. Luongo said he was arrested moments later.
