SGA, regents combat tuition, 'lack of funds' At the Student Government Association (SGA) meeting held April 3, Jay Parmley, student relations liaison for the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, addressed the body on tuition and fees. "It is the only topic that affects the students statewide in a real way," said Parmley. In February, he said, Gov. Frank Keating stood before a joint session of legislature and cut the higher education budget by $13 million. One and a half months later, the governor said the $13 million would be restored to the higher education budget because the institutions would not be able to support a cut. "The cut would be spread out among 26 institutions and some may take it easier than others," said Parmley. "But next year, to open our doors to all the 31 campuses, we need $16 million more than what we did," he said. The money, called mandatory costs, is money that would have to be raised, Parmley said.

UCO rated lowest in school funding By Iris Knight Staff Writer Recently, the Faculty Senate conducted a study of documents from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and found a severe financial discrimination toward UCO. Where does UCO's money come from and why is it short of funds? President George Nigh said UCO was funded in three ways: from the state, from student tuition and from gifts, such as research grants and President's Partners. In order for money to be appropriated to the universities, it must go through a lengthy governmental process. First, an appropriations bill must pass both the House and the Senate and must finally be signed by the governor. It then goes on to the Regents for distribution. "The legislature appropriates to the Regents and then the Regents divide the money any way they want," said Nigh. In every case in the past, when the Regents divide money among the universities and colleges, UCO received proportionately less than virtually any other institution in higher education, said Nigh. "We want to work on the Board of Oklahoma Regents to be fair to UCO."

In the Faculty Senate study, UCO was ranked last in Oklahoma state funds paid per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student. The study showed an average appropriation of $2,831.31 per FTE student for Oklahoma senior colleges. UCO received $2,308.74 per FTE. If UCO received at least the average amount, there would be an overall increase of $6,399,085.30 in additional funds. VSee APPROPRIATION, Page 12

Should UCO follow Nebraska's 'suit' to demand funding? iscrimination is against the law. Or so it's supposed to be. But this is not so for UCO. The Faculty Senate conducted a study to determine UCO's level of state funding in comparison to other senior colleges. What they found was appalling. UCO ranked last in state appropriations. It even came in behind four two-year colleges: Connors, Tulsa Junior College, Redlands and Oklahoma City Community College. The average appropriations for each full-time-equivalent (FTE) student at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University was $2,955.63 more than what UCO receives. This is understandable. After all, these institutions offer students degrees beyond the graduate level. However, the average of the 13 two-year colleges was $2,403.50 per FTE, and the average for the 10 senior-fouryear colleges was $2,831.31. UCO, a four-year college, only receives $2,308.74 per FTE in state appropriations. Why does UCO continue to allow this sort of injustice? President Nigh has told the Faculty Senate that he would like to join with a representative group of UCO faculty and meet with the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to discuss this problem. The Regents are the government entity responsible for dividing the state appropriations among the colleges in Oklahoma. But is this enough? Perhaps UCO students could make a difference. But how? Maybe students need to take an active role in this scenario and file a class action suit against the Regents demanding the funding that is rightfully due, like one university in Nebraska has already done. UCO is a commuter college and has many valuable taxpayers. Why should the tax dollars paid by UCO students be given to other universities at an unfair percentage? Petitions could be circulated, a student delegation could be formed and legal action could be taken to right this terrible wrong. UCO should be angry by this blatant show of inequality. Stand up for yourself, UCO. Your quality education is at stake. A

Student argues 'fountain story' facts
E
verybody has a right to their opinion. That in itself is true, so here is my opinion. I believe that when a person with the title of "Staff Writer" for a newspaper decides to write a column expressing her opinions, she should make sure of the facts her opinion is based upon. Let me tell you about the facts (in my opinion). Cynthia Chung's column in the March 16 issue of The Vista was for the most part, opinion. Poorly researched, as well. When a person who holds the "power of the pen" reads only articles of the same newspaper she writes for and calls it research, I call it sensationalism. First on my list, the facts about the Student Government Association proposed voting machines. Back in January of this year, the idea was pursued. Soon thereafter, however, the $20,000 project was dropped due to outrageous cost and the soonto-be-in-effect university technology fee, which will provide kiosk machines, which can be programmed for campus-wide voting. Secondly, the fountain is to begin construction immediately. There are three campus organizations providing funding for the fountain: President's Leadership Council, President's Club, and Student Government Association. Ms. Chung criticized SGA President Ben Harris for his lack of student sampling in the matter. For the record, President's Club
is composed of the elected executives of the 132 student organizations on campus. Student Government is made up of 44 senators, who are proportionately elected and appointed from each of the four colleges on campus. So let's talk about sampling. Go to your club's meetings and tell your representative what is your opinion and why. Student Government has open meetings every Monday at 12:40 in the Senate Room of the University Center. Take some action if you are feeling overlooked or have a problem. One more fountain fact, Ms. Chung—the fountain may very well pay for itself in the coming years. In addition to the possible escalation in fund-raising due to the beautification, the company constructing the fountain, Davis Pipe and Supply Company, has made quite a deal with SGA President Ben Harris and UCO. Davis Pipe and Supply has agreed to give us a $1,000 discount on the fountain, and has made a five-year, $5,000 commitment to be one of UCO's President's Partners. President's Partners funds several campus scholarships and faculty development. What is basically going to be a fountain that will pay for itself will be built, and a commitment to more student scholarships is made. Scholarships—my next point. In case Ms. Chung's investigation neglected to come across it, money allocated to the Student Government Association cannot be given to other campus organi-
zations or individual students. Efforts are being made by certain student senators to create new scholarships for different talents and services for the upcoming years. If you or any of your readers have any questions or ideas, call or come by the Student Government office, 424 E of the University Center, Ext. 3337. That, by the way, is a more accessible SGA office. We are here for you. I agree with the need for more scholarships and assistance than campus beautification. The problem is, the people with the power to make those decisions are housed in the Administration Building. Student Government is trying its hardest to further the student body in the ways in which it is able. The student body makes up SGA. We do keep all students in mind in our projects and proposals. Unfortunately, there will always be a yea for every nay and an opinion for every fact. I admire your desire to boost campus consciousness with your column, Ms. Chung. It keeps SGA on its toes. Please note, however, that ours is a very dynamic group of senators and executives. When you take a proposal made in January and unfoundedly attempt to dissect it in March, you lose credibility. Also note that the members of SGA, PLC, and the President's Club are keeping up with The Vista. It would be greatly appreciated if The Vista would keep up with us. --Amy R. Melvin UCO Student

I wish we could find every person on campus a job... what we can do is give every student those job skills that will empower them during their job search. —Dr. Kathryn Gage
Director, Career Development and Placement Services within the past week increased by 60 students. "The growth has been amazing, and the program has taken a leap in size," said Gage. Although the growth over the past few months has been encouraging, Gage said not enough students are taking advantage of the services. "We have more jobs than people applying," she said. In the past, Gage has been forced to stand in hallways displaying a sign informing students of an excellent job opportunity. She said this had to be done because not enough students registered for the interview process. Gage recommends that sophomore and junior students register
for an internship. Internships provide valuable experience and greatly enhance a resume, she said. Seniors should register for fulltime employment early in the year. Gage said many employers begin hiring during the fall semester in anticipation of summer graduation. Gage also points out that registration alone is not enough. Students should return weekly to examine interview schedules and job notebooks, which change constantly, she said. "You don't just register and say, 'I'm done for the year.' You're not going to find a job until you begin an intensive search." Gage said she hopes all students will take an interest in their services during personal career development and job searching. "I wish we could find every person on campus a job. While we may not be able to accomplish this, what we can do is give every student those job skills that will empower them during their job search," she said.

Writer 'pops off' with unique scholarship opportunity Two drug lords extradited to U.S. ISLAMABAD. Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan has extradited two of its most notorious drug lords to the United States, where they will be prosecuted for more than 100 counts of heroin and hashish smuggling. officials said. Several other drug kingpins could soon be extradited as well. Pakistan has become one of the worlds major heroin producing countries in recent years, and the United States has pressed for a crackdown. Iqbal Baig and his top lieutenant Anwar Khattak together ran one of Pakistan's biggest heroin and hashish trafficking networks, according to U.S. and Pakistani officials. Both were imprisoned in Pakistan where they had been convicted of drug smuggling. They will face 102 counts of smuggling heroin and hashish into the United States. The trials are likely to take place either in Michigan or New York, where the offenses allegedly occurred, a U.S. official said.

The church's spiritual healing is protected by the Constitution, and the church did not act in "deliberate disregard" of Ian's rights. the ruling said. However, the court upheld S1.5 million in compensatory damages against Ian's mother and stepfather, Kathleen and William McKown, and two practitioners they hired to provide spiritual treatment. The McKow ns had a duty to protect the boy from harm. and the practitioners should have overruled the parents' wishes and sought medical help, the panel said.

Sports writer becomes 32nd to die ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — Suspected Muslim militants killed a sports journalist affiliated with the state-run television network ENTV by cutting his throat in front of his home, security sources said. Makhlouf Boukhezar became the 32nd journalist killed since fundamentalist militants fighting a three-year civil war against the military-backed government turned their sights on the press in May 1993. Eight reporters with ENTV have been killed, among the hardest hit of Algeria's media. The Armed Islamic Group, considered the most violent of the radical groups fighting the government to establish an Islamic state, has threatened to kill journalists from state-run radio and television. On March 21, the chief editor of the nation's oldest newspaper, the government-run El Moucljahid, was shot and killed in the eastern Algiers suburb of Oued Kniss. Mohamed Abderrahmani was ambushed as his car sat in traffic.

Recognition and reward for 40 years of work in physical education and health came to Virginia Lee Peters, professor emeritus of UCO, when she received the Honor Award from the Southern district of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD). The Honor Award is the highest award given by the 13-state district, said Peters. Peters first came to UCO as a student in 1953, when it was known as Central State College (CSC).

Peters came to Edmond from Drumright, Okla., with an interest in sports spawned by her having played basketball in high school, she said. Peters discovered and pursued several other sports while attending CSC, and after graduation began teaching at John Marshall High School in Oklahoma City. After about a year of
teaching high school, Peters returned to CSC and joined the faculty. As a member of the UCO physical education and health department, Peters taught everything from fencing to the psychology of sports. Peters also served as director of the women's athletic department until it was combined with the men's department. Although she officially retired from UCO in 1992, she still taught various adjunct courses until this semester, said Peters. "If you don't have your health, it doesn't matter what your major is or other abilities you have," she said.
Internet access helps students learn English faster By Robb Hibbard
Guest Writer All UCO students could soon find themselves racking up credit and mileage on the information superhighway. Last fall, UCO English instructors Mary Spelman and Wayne Stein decided to introduce "cyberspace" into the English as a Second Language (ESL) class. The international students who surfed the Internet did better and had less anxiety about using English than did students in traditional ESL classes, said Spelman. "Some of the students had to use the 'hunt-and-peck' typing method, because they hadn't

typed before, but other than that, having access to the internet provided the students no problems," Spelman said. "Their English language skills grew much faster than the skills of the ESL students who didn't have Internet class." "The link to Internet resources helped the students increase their research capabilities, improve their language proficiency and sharpen their computer communication skills," she said.

"The students use Internet access for communicating with their instructors and others with whom they're assigned to communicate," said Spelman. "They got to complete projects designed especially for students learning English as a second language by professors at other locations around the world." "For example, a project created to simulate critical thinking in the target language—Englishwas designed in cooperation with
a professor in Tokyo. Students from UCO, Tokyo, Thailand and City University of New York were assigned to discuss, negotiate and design a practical plan for the development of tourism in Sarawak, a part of Malaysia, with all interaction via Internet." Spelman believed Internet teaching is well-suited to native English speakers too. "I think the whole student body would benefit tremendously from Internet access."

The progress of Spelman's ESL class was compared to that of a traditional ESL class via preand post-testing. Writing samples from each class confirmed the results of the testing—students who had Internet access also had better English skills at the end of the semester. The ESL students who had Internet access absorbed more English, said Spelman, because they had to use it in situations requiring critical thinking in the language.

CSWI meets, names plans for April, June By Iris Knight Staff Writer Members of the Creative Studies Writers Institute (CSWI) gathered April 1 to listen to M.J. VanDeventer give advice on local opportunities in the writing field, as well as hear Gwynne Hunter announce several upcoming events. M.J. VanDeventer, editor of the magazine The Persimmon Hill and UCO adjunct journalism professor, spoke to the group of writers about local opportunities in publishing. VanDeventer listed several things editors look for when choosing stories to print, such as lively and wellwritten leads, strong time elements in the story, colorful photographs to accompany it and about 1,500 words in length. The meeting was then turned over to Gwynne Hunter, founder and director of UCO's New Plains Review. Hunter announced the Seventh Annual Crosscurrents, a liberal arts student symposium to be
held April 19 in the Liberal Arts Building. The symposium will be a day-long event featuring over 200 students from the UCO English, art and theater departments, said Hunter. She also announced the April 15 deadline for the new issue of the New Plains Review, "Miscellany," a poetry anthology. She said it was not just for students, but poets from everywhere could submit poems for consideration. Hunter next told the group about a call for writers' work for the National Women's Studies Association 16th Annual Conference to be held June 21-25 at the University of Oklahoma. For more information on "Miscellany" and the National Women's Studies Conference, contact Hunter in Room 105 G-H in the Liberal Arts Building. The next meeting of CSWI will be at 7:30 p.m. June 9 in the Pegasus Theatre of the Liberal Arts Building. Charlie Cahill, cowboy poet, will be the guest speaker.
50-year alumni swing into action with homecoming celebration By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer As a salute to those students who graduated from UCO between 1939 and 1951, UCO's Alumni Association will present "Swing Time Again," a reunion celebrating the alumni of the 1940s, April 7-9. Every year at homecoming, UCO honors the 50-year class. During that decade, the classes were small due to the war, which prompted the association to make this a celebration for the decade, said Donna Peters, director of development and alumni affairs. "I have found that they are a loyal group of people, not only to themselves, but to the university," Peters said. "During the time these students attended this university, it was a traditional college, not a commuter school. "All the students lived on campus. They knew each other well and they had a sense of camaraderie. The whole atmosphere was quite different than it is now," said Heather Nakonezny, coordinator of alumni special events. UCO has an active group of
The association is hoping for an attendance of about 200 alumni. —Heather Nakonezny Coordinator of alumni special events alumni out in California that is expected to attend, Nakonezny said. "We also have alumni from several other states, including Colorado, Ohio and Washington State. "The association is hoping for an attendance of about 200 alumni," she said. The weekend will begin with registration, welcome gifts and a tour of the campus, Peters said. This will be followed by several seminars and a round-table discussion titled "The Way We Were: Life in the Forties." The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Richard Peters, UCO history professor. The day will end with a visit to Mitchell Hall Theatre to see Cy
Coleman's musical, "City of Angels." Saturday will also be a busy day for alumni, with planned visits to Coffee Creek Golf Course and Remington Park Racetrack, as well as The 45th Infantry Division Museum. The highlight of the day will be "Swing Time Again," held at 7 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the University Center, said Peters. "This will be an elegant sitdown dinner featuring music of the '40s as performed by the UCO Big Band. All alumni have a chance at winning several grand prizes. Gifts will be awarded to those who attend the most reunion activities," Peters said. The weekend will close with a memorial service held at 9 p.m. in the Y-Chapel of Song. The funds for the chapel were raised by the students, and it was built during the '40s, so it is special to this group of people, Peters said. "Many of the men that they started school with didn't live to see the end of the decade because of World War II, so we knew we had to do something special to end the weekend," Peters said. A

Bronchos rally past Cameron 10th-inning run lifts UCO By Mike Erwin Sports Editor

Central Oklahoma broke out of a recent slump to post a 6-5 10-inning victory over Cameron Tuesday afternoon at McCord Field in Lawton. Senior first baseman Eddie Jeffcoat drove in Russel White for the winning run in the top of the 10th. After being outscored 52-18 while losing four of five games to Texas A&M-Kingsville last weekend, the Bronchos were at an "all-time low," said UCO coach Wendell Simmons. "We sat in the dug-out for a long time and just talked, " said Simmons. "We did a lot of soul searching because we really couldn't do any worse." The Bronchos responded well, said Simmons. "The guys had fun today. They were more relaxed and made up their mind that they
were going to win." To get the victory, UCO had several stellar performances at the plate. Center fielder Clint Cowan went 3-4 at the plate while third baseman Shane Smith went 3-5 with one run batted in. Second baseman Rodd Melton added two RBIs while hitting 2-2. As a team, UCO pounded 17 hits off of Cameron pitchers Tony Gonzales and Tim Newville. Broncho reliever Chad Tredway picked up his first win of the season while pitching the final one and two-thirds innings. The senior right-hander from Wichita, Kan., struck out one, allowed two hits and no runs in relief for UCO starter Justin Bernard. Bernard struck out four Aggies and gave up five runs on 10 hits. With the win, the Bronchos' record improves to 15-14.

dual record to 3-7. OCU, ranked 11th in NAIA, drops to 13-9. UCO's number one player, Monica Wirthova, led the Bronchos with a 6-4, 7-6 victory over Carolyn Barker. Wirthova led 5-2 in the second set but Barker staged a furious late rally to take a 6-5 lead. Wirthova then staged a comeback of her own to tie the match and then win the tie-breaker. "She's a good player and I feel fortunate," said Wirthova. "I was tired for this match and I feel lucky to have been able to hold on."

Wirthova is ranked ninth in Division II and is the Lady Bronchos unquestioned team leader. In the only three-set match of the day, UCO's No. 3 player, Kristi McPherson, won a third set tie-breaker to put away Erika Callaway 6-3, 0-6, 76. UCO received straight-set victories from Andrea Bailey (6-

Direct loans put to test in 104 national schools
17 initiated into honor society By Elizabeth Hew
Staff Writer Seventeen new members were initiated into the 1995 TIARAS Honor Society March 29. TIARAS, which characterizes truth, integrity, aspiration, responsibility, action and service, is an organization limited to women, said Lori Pratt, treasurer. Membership is based
upon students' academic performance, which is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and above, and students' involvement in campus activities. TIARAS represents the highest of women's roles, said Patty Taylor, president. The organization holds monthly community projects, like visiting children in the married housing, caroling at nursing homes and organizing Easter celebra-
tions at the Home Economics Building. The new members are Heather Aston, Carrie Cook, Tina Curtis, Wendi Dawkins, Amy Gillian, Sharon Kennedy, Kristi McPherson, Amy Miller, Lajuana Pierce, Melissa Presnal, Lisa Rollins, Angela Smith, Leslie Wakulich, Elizabeth Hew, Ritchie Westfall, Whitney Wheeler and Denise Wynia.
Although it may not affect UCO for several years, the Clinton administration has begun a test on direct loans in 104 schools across the nation. Direct loans cut out third party lending agencies from the student loan process. This eliminates extra paperwork and cuts down the processing time so that students receive their loan money faster. Currently, student loans pass through the state, a lending agency and the UCO financial aid office before being received by the stu-
dents, said Kenda Henthorn, associate director of financial aid at UCO. While UCO probably won't be involved in the program for another five years, Oklahoma State University is participating in the program, said Henthorn. Even though direct loans are being tested, there is no guarantee that the program will be put into effect, she said. Direct loans, if successful, will be enforced through legislative measures at all colleges and universities, said Henthorn.
APPROPRIATION continued from front page
Dr. Charles Rickman, Dr. Herb Giles and Dr. Russell Jones, Faculty Senate senators, circulated a letter to the UCO faculty discussing the financial inequality among the universities. "If we really want to make a difference and have money for academic programs, let's join together with students in a class action and demand that UCO receive equitable funding," the letter said. "Apparently, in other states such as

Nebraska, legal actions were undertaken by students to rectify this kind of situation. It did not take very long for the system to make the reallocations of the monies," said Jones. The Regents have said they want all universities to be funded like their peers
in surrounding states, said Nigh. "If we were just funded like our peers within Oklahoma, we'd be okay," said Nigh. "We're the most underfunded of the underfunded," said Nigh. According to the Faculty Senate study,
UCO was state-funded by three revenue categories: state appropriations, Section 13/New College funding and capital bond issues. UCO ranked lowest in all three categories. Besides recommending steps to be taken in a class action suit, the Faculty Senate encouraged Nigh to meet with the Regents to discuss this problem. "I would like, at an appropriate time, for us as a group to make an appearance before the board of Regents to address our frustration," said Nigh. An

SGA continued from front page "That is the highest amount that we have ever had to face," he said. One reason for this lack of funding is the cost of the state's teachers retirement system. This system is funded by every institution, faculty and staff across the state, as well as the state of Oklahoma. The state determined that its contribution would be made through oil and gas tax revenues, said Parmley. The problem lies in the low revenue, he said. They were so low that Oklahoma did not have what it was going to need to pay for the retirement system."
Estimates indicate that the state falls about $25 million to $50 million short of what is needed, said Parmley. This situation can be dangerous to everyone, because in four years a quarter of statewide faculty and staff will be retiring. The legislature consequently came up with a solution to make up for the lack of money. Higher education and common education would have to come up with $8 million and $19 million respectively, said Parmley. "The problem is higher education doesn't have $8 million in new money," he said. "We can cut it out of the budget, but it's not a gift. We'd have to come up with $8 million to keep a stag-
nant budget." Three additional factors that bring the amount to $16 million are normal fixed costs, which covers electricity and maintenance contracts, and copy contracts totalling $4 million. Second, a $2 million budget is also allotted for faculty promotions statewide, said Parmley. Last, $2 million tis for new buildings on all campuses. "UCO is outdoing everyone else on that," he said. "If we do not come up . with $16 million and new money from state appropriations or tuition, we'll cut the budgets," said Parmley. Each campus will be told how much to cut, and the presidents
and their administrative bodies will make the appropriate cuts. "These cuts will be proportionate to enrollment, to the amount of full-time students and budgets and so forth," Parmley said. One evident cut will be that the retiring faculty members' positions will not be filled. As a result, course sections and class offerings will be affected, said Parmley. Quality is defined according to class size, faculty and staff ratios and the availability of course sections, she said. The State Student Government Association showed its support in February by proposing a 6 percent increase in tuition.
The increase will amount to a total of $12 million statewide, which is apparently not sufficient to cover the $16 million mandatory costs, said Parmley. "But at least it would be easier to cut $4 million instead of $16 million out of the state budget," said Parmley. With this increase, tuition fees for a semester of 15 credit hours at UCO would go up by approxiComparatively, mately $35. tuition fees at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University would increase by $45. —By Farzana Razak

REDLANDS continued from front page UCO student Beverly Smith, who formerly attended RCC, said Dr. Larry F. Devane (president of RCC) told her he could not have people saying things that could cause trouble for the college or that did not appropriately represent the college. "I think that this is to keep people from saying anything in the name of RCC without Dr. Devane's input. This, however, is a little bit different, and will be harder to fight because of the way it's been written. I'm sure it was written with legal aid," said Smith. RCC Director of Public Information Donna Spain said this would not be an attempt to censor the newspaper if they had one. She said the college currently does not have a paper because of the lack of enrollment. Spain said the policy would only direct the media to talk to the "right" person(s).

+ 44 • In Lord Byron's novel, Don Juan is portrayed as a great adventurer and lover of women. DeMarco uses this character to escape problems in his own life, and fools the psychiatric hospital's reluctant staff into thinking he is crazy. Mickler convinces the hospital's staff that he can cure DeMarco. However, through listening to DeMarco's imaginary ventures, Mickler concurrently finds what he is missing in his own life. With this realization, Mickler then begins falling in love again with his own wife, Marilyn (Faye Dunaway). The film was written and directed by Jeremy Leven. Even though its dialogue is crisp, the pace of the movie in the beginning is a little slow. As the movie continues, the dialogue and scenes get more complex and interesting. The light-hearted humor in the dialogue of Don Juan seems to come naturally to its actors, and the Latin music by Michael Kamen enhances the overall

— Review By Iris Knight/ The Vista Book Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.
Crichton's new novel a medical nightmare Was it murder or someone's screw-up in surgery that killed Karen Randall?
Rating: ckL Michael Crichton's national bestseller, A Case of Need, shocks the reader with old family secrets and mountains of medical jargon. Dr. Arthur Lee, pathologist at a Boston medical center, was wrongly accused of having performed an illegal abortion on Randall. Lee's co-worker, Dr. John Berry, believed in his friend's
innocence. Berry knew Lee held progressive ideas about abortion, but he also knew that his friend would never commit murder to support them. In an attempt to clear Lee's name, Berry also uncovered adultery and falsification of medical records woven among the lives of the staunchy Bostonians. However, Berry found Lee's road to freedom blocked by a long line of distinguished surgeons in the Randall family. This old Bostonian family had always carried tremendous weight with the police department and continued to use it. Crichton's skillful ability to throw the reader off with countless red herrings and colorful
characters produced a novel of breathtaking suspense. Everyone appears to be a suspect before the story ends. A Case of Need is a winner of the Edgar Award, a national award for mystery fiction. Crichton's other works include Disclosure and Jurassic Park, which was produced for the movie screen and won several Oscar awards. Crichton is a graduate from Harvard Medical School who has turned full-time writer. A Case of Need is well worth the $6.99 to purchase and add to your collection of thrillers. It is available at Waldenbooks, B. Dalton's and the University Book Store.
✓ "City of Angels" will be presented at 8 p.m. April 6-8 and at 2 p.m. April 9 in Mitchell Hall Theatre on the UCO campus. Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for senior citizens and $2 for children, high school students and non-UCO students. Admission is free for UCO students and faculty who present a valid I.D. Friday ✓ "The Pajama Game" will be presented by the OCU Opera and Music Theatre Company on April 7-9. Friday and Saturday performances will be at 8:15 p.m., with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday. All performances will be in the Kirkpatrick Auditorium on the OCU campus. Tickets are available by calling 521-5227 from noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Sunday • "The Festival of Spirituals" will be presented at 7:30 p.m. April 9 in the First Presbyterian Church, 555 S. University. The event is open to everyone. Call 364-8962 for more information.
Dance: Friday • "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be performed on April 7-9 in the Civic Center Music Hall by Ballet Oklahoma. Performances are at 8:15 p.m. April 7-8 and 2 p.m. April 9.
