t could only happen here. Murderers have been acquitted of horrendous crimes by citing sugar highs, radioactive isotopes, talking TVs, abusive parents and an alienating society as the masterminds behind their killing sprees. A telepathic gogglebox apparently summoned John Hinckley to attempt the assassination on Reagan, but then to idiot savants the idiot box does indeed speak a special kind of language. Jeffrey Dahmer tried to get off by pleading insanity, after all, who in his right mind would copulate with corpses, much less those he'd recently dismembered or decapitated? No sane person would keep a human head for leftovers or body parts for finger food. It would then appear that the crazier or bloodier or just outright grossed-out your acts were, the more likely the jury would find you innocent of those charges. You'll be declared "mentally unfit to stand trial" and absolved of all guilt because you're as guilty as hell, but the atrocities of your acts would stain the red seas of Hades a darker shade of crimson, and our legal system daren't convict or constrain the devil's disciples. So now we have the mad cow disease, a probable addition to the repertoire of insanity pleas choking the legal kitchen sink. Oh, but let's label it with a loftier and more scientificsounding name, for the more bombastic it sounds, the more credible it is. So let's call it the bovine spongiform encephalopathological defense. From this day forth, we'll hear in courtrooms across America: "My client raped, plundered, ravished and butchered 30 families of six because he had BSE-laced beef for dinner that night. He couldn't help it, sir. It's the beef. It's what's for dinner." 41

LETTERS
Angels in America covers ground mortal men may fear to tread would like to begin this letter by applauding the cast, crew and everyone else involved in the recent production of Angels in America. Each person did a superb job in presenting this intriguing and emotional play. I really enjoyed the production and it definitely showed me a different side of life. I wish all UCO and other college productions were as professional. I noticed the opinion of D. L. Jenkins of Coyle, Okla. in the March 28 issue of The Vista. I am surprised at such a reaction, well, not really. After reading previous letters concerning other controversial subjects, I guess I did expect such a reaction. I do agree that the language and subject matter of Angels in America was not exactly rated PG, but I had expected that. I had read articles and bits about the production without knowing something about the play, especially one as publicized as Angels in America. Again, concerning the language content, I would like to point out that the F word was probably used less in this
/
production, which lasted about three hours, than by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon and a number of recent movies that are popular. If someone willingly attends these movies, then they should not be offended by what takes place on a college or university stage. Omitting, substituting other less offensive words or toning down the language so as not to offend someone would have detracted from the impact, the emotional flow and the realism of the play. The words are not grotesque or "barbaric" in the context of the production; they are real and if they offend someone, then I suggest that the person stay away from these types of productions. A performance should be judged on more than just the type of dialogue. A play should be judged on the acting, the style, tone and the impact of the play and its production. It took courage for the actors of Angels in America to get on stage and present a play dealing with topics most people want to ignore and forget about. Topics such as AIDS, homosexuality, drug abuse, mental illness and
even the fear of living and dying, should all be presented to the public and not shunned or dismissed. Angels in America dealt with each of these topics and they were presented in a way that could not help but draw the audience in and expose them to what it is like to live this way. The writers of Angels in America confronted many things people fear or know little about and they did a fantastic job of doing so, as did the actors and the directors. I conclude with my total support of the directors in bringing Angels in America to UCO and Oklahoma. Although the play is not for everyone, it is certainly worth seeing. I would also like to request that the UCO drama department consider presenting the second part of Angels in America in the near future. I would definitely like to see how the play concludes. Thank you for being daring to present the play in spite of all the objections. —Jeanne Malmberg UCO student

Earth Day activities to be held before Central Cafeteria
A
decision was made Friday by the UCO Earth Day Committee to hold the April 22 activities in front of the Central Cafeteria this year. In prior years, the celebration has been located in the Thatcher Lake area, which is currently under renovation. The Central Cafeteria is centrally located on campus, with easy access to restrooms and food service, said committee member Jane Byram. Other factors considered in the decision included parking and access to electrical power. Because music will be provided by a radio station, proximity to classrooms was also an issue. "We've had a couple of problems in the past with classrooms being unhappy about the music," said Byram. The Central Cafeteria is bordered on the east and west by student housing. The Earth Day celebration begins at 9 a.m. Volunteers are needed for booths and displays. For information, call Dr. David Elmendorf at 3412980, Ext. 5777. By Lisa Tatum Student Writer

"Parking is going to be a real challenge for everyone because we are going to close these lots down, but it is essential that we do close them down," he said. As always, weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited, Roberts said. "It would be the height of stupidity for anyone to be present bearing any type of weapon at this function."
Roberts also recommends that students attending the presidential address leave book bags, backpacks and purses locked in the trunk of their cars. Everyone will be checked with metal detectors and Secret Service agents will search all baggage. "The more you bring with you, the longer this (the line) is going to take," he said.
For security reasons, some areas will be cordoned off with rope and barrels and uniformed personnel will be present to help direct the people flow. "It is expected that those in attendance will respect these barriers and not enter into these areas," said Roberts. Due to the complexity of a presidential visit and Clinton's
busy schedule, it is difficult to predict exactly what will take place on those visits, said UCO President George Nigh. Nigh added that the dedication of the new Education Building, previously scheduled to coincide with Clinton's arrival, will not take place until another date.
He's Houdini. •
The great escape artist Harry Houdini vowed that his greatest fear would be to rise from the grave. He didn't deliver. But someone else did. That man claimed to be the God who created the universe. And said he would die and then bodily rise from the dead to prove he was God. Jesus Christ's resurrection from the dead distinguishes him from all other religious leaders. We invite you to find out more about what the resurrection of Jesus Christ means to some of the students, faculty and staff here on campus ...and what it can mean to you.

Women's restroom brews melange of tea and art more competitive. Perhaps opening up the women's room exposes men to some of the same social skills." By the frowns on their faces, others who came to use the restroom and found a party going on may have worried about a different kind of exposure. But not Barbara Ballina, a senior majoring in graphic design. Upon entering the restroom, she looked at the men and then at Ainu. "The dog has got to go," she said.
By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer Dogs and men may be unusual participants at a tea party, but on March 29, the really unusual element was the location of the event. The women's restroom in the Art Building was decorated with original art by Dana McBride, who also read her poetry for the event. In honor of Women's History Month, Gael Sloop, adjunct professor of art, and her friend, Ainau the dog hosted the event. McBride's vivid yellows, greens and purples featured the three stages of womanhood: the maiden, the mother and the crone. "We want to bring back the positive connotation of the crone," said McBride. Instead of viewing the crone as ugly and useless, we should regard her as "the wise elder woman." "Because of the baby boom (generation getting older), there is an increased need of and appreciation of the older woman," said McBride. The women's restroom was chosen as the site for two reasons, said Sloop. First, to illustrate "that it is OK to be a woman." The second reason is to give men a sanctioned peek at a place that appeals to their curiosity. "We are being inclusive," she said.
Stephen Hanes, a junior graphic design major, said he felt honored to be included. He came first as a member of Dean Hyde's class in 2-D design. He came back for a second helping of gentle rock music, scented herb tea, cookies and conversation. Another tea partygoer, Anthony Oliver Smith, teaches drawing at the Firehouse Art Center in Norman and describes himself as a women's advocate and activist. He came to document the event on video and show support. He commented that women seemed to have better social skills than men. "Women's games are more egalitarian. Men's games are

COWABON KERS! Research indicates possible link between mad cow disease and brain damage in humans sheep and cattle than from cattle to humans. One theory about how the disease is transferred is by affected protein molecules touching normal protein There's been a lot of talk in the media lately about the molecules and causing them to unfold and flip from their normal shape to the diseased shape. Amino acids are the "mad cow disease." What's the fuss all about? "Mad cow disease" is another name for bovine building blocks of proteins. The closer the amino acid spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). The disease affects sequences, the more likely the disease will be the cattle by causing holes throughout the brain. Thus transferred. the name: bovine = cattle, spongiform = spongelike, encephalopathy = brain disease. Holes in the animals' brains tend to make them lose coordination and become irritable, so they've been nicknamed "mad cows." However, the chance that humans could contract the disease by eating beef is rather low, said Dr. Stanley Prusiner in a Scientific American article in November 1995. Scientists have traced the BSE to a cattle food supplement that included meat and bone meal from dead sheep. In sheep, the disease is called Scrapie. The disease is transferred from one animal to another by way of proteins. Because the protein sequences of sheep and cattle are much closer than those of cattle and humans, the disease is more easily transferred between By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer

If you experience any unpleasant symptoms after any kind of accident, it makes good sense to get a chiropractic checkup. Most accidents are covered by insurance 100%.
Because all animals carry the genetic code for such diseases, another theory is that infected protein molecules enter the animal's body and switch on the gene and the disease follows, said Dr. Riaz Ahmad, professor of biology at UCO. On March 20, the British Ministry of Health announced the possibility of a link between BSE and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. The main symptom of CreutzfeldtJakob disease is dementia. It affects about one person in a million and usually strikes its victims around age 60. Creutzfeldt-Jakob can be inherited or spread through transplants from people infected with the disease. Scientists theorize it was originally passed to humans by eating poorly cooked sheep brains or eyeballs. Research on diseases of this type is especially difficult since they are slow developing and to perform experiments, the infectious material has to be present; it can't be grown in the lab like bacterial diseases, said Ahmad. The USDA has been monitoring cattle since 1986 and in samples taken from 2,660 cattle, all tests for BSE were negative.

I just hit it in the middle of the green and try to make some Dustin York sends a putt zeroing in on putts. "Fortunately I made some putts so the hole.

Country pseudo-star strikes out S White can sing. Let there be no doubt—the boy can sing. But it takes more than that, kiddo. There are basically three things that make a good album: originality, soul and music made from the artist's experiences. Bryan White strikes out. The swinging, knee-slappin' guitar lines and the sappy, slow love songs have precise guitar lines and a steady countrywestern groove that no doubt have little to do with White. And the album still doesn't amount to a whole lot.
White's music is the kind of voice-cracking, country drabble that has been pumped out of Nashville for years. You'll probably hear it someday while sitting in a Coney Island in Smalltown USA. You'll know it when you hear it, because you'll get your coneys to go. Two Bryan White CDs will be given away at 2:30 p.m. April 4 in The Vista. First-come firstserve basis only. See John Clanton for more information.

The Process; Skinny Puppy's bare-boned effort rThree years ago, rumors of a new album by 1 Skinny Puppy, one of the leaders in industrial music, surfaced, and then this year what may be Skinny Puppy's last album, The Process, hit the stands. The Process is definitely not the best effort by Skinny Puppy. Too Dark Park holds that space, with competition from 12 inch Anthology, but it is a good effort nonetheless. It is nice to hear what is basically the same dark sounds of distorted instruments and disturbing samples issue forth in relatively true industrial form as other bands turn away from the sound. Most of the album songs are driven by the key board programming of cEvin Key and D. R. Goettel, and feature the sometimes chanting, sometimes ranting vocals of Nivek Ogre. The Process is dedicated to the memory of D. R. Goettel who died August 23, 1995.
The only flaw with the album is that it features too much guitar. While none of the songs would make my list for a greatest hits, they are nonetheless adequately well-crafted. Skinny Puppy ranks as one of the most innovative bands ever, and although its style is not likely to appeal to the public, it needs to be recognized as an influence for the softer hard edge pop of popular bands like Nine Inch Nails. If you are ready for something harder that leaves a disturbance in the air, check out Skinny Puppy. If not, stay with the crowd of musical talents in the mainstream of "alternative" music.

everal weeks ago, I Oreceived two copies of Bryan White's promotional album, titled Between Now and Forever. It sat on my desk and I feared it would be lost forever in the hubbub of the vast entertainment center of The Vista. Tuesday, I popped it into the CD player and braced myself. For those of you who don't know, Bryan White is a country music "star." Apparently, through the use of widespread hypnosis (or some other technique), White managed to achieve gold record status with the release of his first album. But we, in the media, are on to his youthful tricks! Never again will the public be duped into buying a Bryan White album—not as long as I'm a critic. When I heard the album, I knew that the 21-year-old White couldn't have had much to do with the life experiences he sings about., I was right. Out of the 10 songs featured on Between Now and Forever, White helped to write only four. Of course, like all child stars,

Students promote consciousness for people with disabilities By Cory Miller Student Writer Over 40 consumer groups, non-profit organizations and several state agencies converged on the State Capitol March 28 for one purpose — to promote consciousness for people with disabilities. UCO student Shelly Stephens, president of Horizons Unlimited, and alumni Roy Howe, a adviser of the American with Disabilities Act for UCO, were among those in attendance at the second annual People with Disabilities Awareness Day. They were representing UCO with an information booth through Horizons Unlimited, an
organization for students and faculty promoting independence and campus-wide awareness for people with disabilities. Stephens and Howe used the, opportunity to make contacts and "see what services were available to take back to my group for people with special needs," said Stephens. "We have a lot to learn from each other. Where one person may have strengths, I have weaknesses and vice versa," said Stephens, who invites disabled as well as non-disabled people to their monthly meetings. Horizons Unlimited's next meeting is at 3 p.m. April 17 in the Comanche Room of the University Center. For more information, call Shelly Stephens at 650-3323.

Residence halls to give facilities permanent faceli By Rob Gallavan Staff Writer President George Nigh called a special meeting with the Residence Hall Association (RHA) to discuss repairs to East, West and Murdaugh Halls Thursday, but he didn't show up. Nigh was preoccupied with organizing a possible visit by President Clinton this week, said Colin Martin, student liason for Nigh. Martin, who spoke on Nigh's behalf at the meeting, said Nigh had just gotten off the phone with the White
House and had to head back to Oklahoma City. Martin said Nigh wanted the presidents of all three residence halls and the president of RHA to meet with Martin to discuss the design of the volleyball court in front of the Central Cafeteria, along with the possibility of installing a basketball court. "We've got a few dollars short of $736,000 toward repairs to be finished by the end of the summer," said Martin. "(Nigh) doesn't want to build them up just to say that `we built them up;' he wants to maintain them the way they are." The dorm bathroom facilities will receive a facelift

bovines getting all the publicity these days. Clumsiness, crankiness, holes in the brain. Out in West Texas, a cantankerous cow was serious business. Two hundred and fifty of them could bring economic ruin to a man quicker than flies on stink. Pete did what he always did when he had a serious problem. He set to whittling a small pile of fresh cut scrub oak, a real luxury item in Deaf Smith County. The more he whittled, the better he thought. He got to thinking about the similarities between this bovine behavior and the way his wife, the former Tilly Haney of the Deaf Smith County Haneys, acted on New Year's Eve, and before long the diagnostic pattern appeared. See, it wasn't only on the 4th of July that Tilly took to tumbling around and mooing irritably. My Aunt Tilly got mad cow disease every time she attended a Haney family wedding, funeral or christening celebration. Her daddy, old Jeremiah Haney, owned and operated the largest still in Deaf Smith County, right there on Pete's back forty. Uncle Pete put two and two together without all the Scotland Yard hoopla. Pete hollered "Shee-at!" (that's West Texas for Eureka) "I bet them cows has been rootin' in old man Haney's moonshine," he said. So he fired up the John Deere with the two-wheeled feed trailer hitched on back. Pete knew those cows would come running as soon as they heard it. Pete always was smart. Smart enough not to feed sick, ground-up sheep to a cow, or anything else for that matter. Sure enough, here they came, lurching and saying crabby things to each other. Pete thought they looked for all the world like a Haney family reunion. The smell alone clinched the diagnosis.

Clinton visit marks second time at UCC 73 In a speech made to UCO students eight years ago, then Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton told of three ways to maintain the. American ideal: ✓ The only way to preserve values is to keep those values ✓ We're all in this together ✓ The belief that the future is better than the present.
By Gayleen Langthorn Staff Writer Clinton coming to UCO may be the first time many students have been near the president, but it's not the first time the president has been to UCO. In February 1988, Clinton discussed education and trade at an "Evening With the Legislature" banquet sponsored by the Nigh Institute. Clinton was the first Nigh Institute speaker at UCO. The second was Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander. "I think it's interesting to note that the first two speakers we had on our campus, one Democrat and one Republican, ended up years later running against one
another for president of the United States," UCO President George Nigh said. Over 600 people listened to then Gov. Clinton propose his ideas for America, As quoted in the Feb. 23, 1988 edition of The Vista, he said: "America is an idea. It is a system of aspiration of will. It's not controlled by determinism. There are three ideas which can help us to maintain it. "First, the only way to preserve values is to keep those values. "Second, we are all in this together. "Finally there is the idea of future preference. "There is a belief that the future is better than the present.

Pond. Liz Langthorn, president of the society, said members will give presentations and direct discussions. Langthorn has been attending the fair for eight years and said the fair has grown, with many non-medieval artisans attending. Presentations will include medieval methods of brewing ale, the life and role of women in the middle ages and the arming of a Norman Knight. Possible presentations and
demonstrations still being discussed include a hands-on demonstration of medieval bread-making, the life and role of a squire and a presentation and discussion about the Heavner Runestone, a purported indication of Viking visitation as far west as Oklahoma. The fair offers visitors a great time, but the experience can be marred by sunburns and dehydration if precautions aren't taken, said Langthorn.

Some UCO students are already benefitting from the Heartland Scholarship program. The program will be the topic of discussion at President George Nigh and President Clinton's meeting April 5 at UCO. Twelve students enrolled for the Spring 1996 semester currently receive Heartland
Scholarships, said the program's coordinator, Margaret Howell. The program is designed to aid survivors and the children and spouses of victims of the April 19 Oklahoma City bombing. Funding for the scholarships total $50,378.62 for the 1995-96 academic year. Donations are been made through the UCO Foundation, Survivor's Fund, Marine Corp., United Way,
Oklahoma City Community Foundation, the Federal Employees' Education Association and a tuition waiver from the Board of Regents. The Heartland program provides money for tuition, fees, parking and books. Because some survivors and dependents are very young, "this is a 25-year scholarship program," said Howell.

The station sent audition feed of "Bravo Baroque" over the airwaves last month through DACS, a direct access communication system that allows stations to try out new material in order to test interest in the program. Within days, KCSC heard from 15 radio stations interested in hearing more samples. The positive feedback gave the station the final push it needed to expand the show for national syndication, said Anderson. Several other stations are expected to syndicate the program in the next few weeks, Anderson added.
