Incident endangers electronic inmates NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Tony Palmer wasn't supposed to be dangerous. He was under home surveillance for drug violations when he removed an electronic monitoring anklet, left his home and allegedly killed a man. His escape has been blamed on a computer error, but the incident has placed home surveillance programs under scrutiny. New Jersey's program enables authorities to keep tabs on first-time, non-violent offenders at home rather than keep them in jail. They must be within six months of release. Participants must wear an electronic bracelet or anklet that is monitored by a transmitter in their home. Palmer, 21, had been on detention in his home since Oct. 30 after serving 18-months of a drug-dealing sentence. He told police that several times over four months he gained his freedom by using pliers to rid himself of the anklet. He said he reattached it using rivets from a hardware store.
Race-related fight upsets college OLIVET, Mich. (AP) — Joann Burch missed work to help her daughter move out of an Olivet College dormitory a week after black and white students got into a brawl. School officials have increased security and insist the campus is safe for black students. Still, rumors of Ku Klux Klan activity are frightening many of Olivet's 50 black students. Racial tensions flared April 2 after an argument between a white couple, police said. When the boyfriend returned with two black friends and knocked on his girlfriend's door, the woman telephoned a mostly white fraternity for help. Several fraternity members confronted the two black men. Others joined the melee until about 70 students wound up brawling. Two students suffered minor injuries. No arrests were made. Students said racial tensions had been building for weeks. See World Wrap, back page
"Youth gangs are the Wal-Mart of the drug trade. They buy in bulk and direct from the manufacturer," said Scott Rowland of the Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics. Rowland spoke at The Forum at last week's student symposium. (Photo by Mark Zimmerman)
Libertarians: On the outside, but closing in on campus By Sam Powell Staff Writer This election year it may be politically "in" to be an outsider, and members of the Libertarian Party in Oklahoma say their philosophy certainly falls into the later category.

Students and drugs an unlawful mixture Law prohibits aid for drug users By Penny Owen Staff Writer Convicted drug offenders can be cut off from federal benefits, including student loans and grants, but federal courts rarely use the law and state and municipal courts lack the authority to use it. Operating under the Anti-Drug Act of 1988, the program allows federal judges to deny an offender entitlement to any of the 450 federal aid programs available. Besides student aid, this includes professional licensing, small business loans and federal contracts. The denial becomes part of the offender's
sentence, and the offender's name is added to a nationwide "Disbarment List," published twice a month and distributed to those providing federal funds. However, the law is not applicable at the state or city level, where most "small-time" drug offenders are prosecuted. This means that most possession and even some trafficking offenses are immune to being denied federal benefits, said Oklahoma Chief Deputy District Attorney Patrick Morgan. "But we are looking for alternative punishments because of our prison overcrowding," said Morgan. "That may be a viable way to go about it. I would certanly like to look at it more closely." See Drugs, page 3
Rites of passage: Nigh introduced at senate meeting By Sam Powell Staff Writer A rite of passage took place at the faculty senate meeting Thursday, when University of Central Oklahoma President Bill Lillard introduced the man who will take his place, former Gov. George Nigh. Lillard said the best preamble is a short one and welcomed Nigh as both an honorable statesman in residence and presidential appointee. Nigh thanked Lillard for his brevity and said a good introduction can "make you or break you." See Senate, page 3

Poster board signs and empty classes • Students need to visually and vocally cry out against tuition increase
hat would happen if 170,000 college students walked out of class? Or what would happen if picket lines formed and students protested with poster board signs? Would these forms of civil disobedience send a clear signal to our government officials and college administrators? The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education are once again proposing a tuition increase for the next academic year. Tuition in Oklahoma has been raised during ten of the past 12 years. For the 1991-92 academic year, tuition was increased by 7 percent. And now, for the 1992-93 academic year, the regents want to increase it by another 4 percent. But where are the improvements from this past year's tuition hike? Students at Oklahoma's 25 colleges and universities now need to visually and vocally cry out against this increase. Voicing opinions at regent-sponsored public hearings is no longer a viable solution. Last year hearings were held and students spoke out against the increase, but the regents and the legislature forced the students to pay the extra cost. Governor Walters declared this past year as the "Year of Higher Education." But the money he promised for higher education has not been seen. If this has been the year of higher education, can we afford another year like this? Students need to get the attention of the regents, the legislature and Governor Walters. Instead of saying there should not be another increase, student governments at the various schools need to organize a school-wide walk-out, or picket on the steps of the state capitol. Then, officials and administrators would not be able to ignore student opinions. College students should no longer be the scapegoats for someone else's failure to keep a promise.

`Good grief, lighten up, have fun' ot more than five minutes ago, I finished reading Mr. Robert Dick's letter to the editor. Ha! I loved it! It was great! As a senior at our beloved business college, I (like all other col-
N
lege students) feel a great deal of stress most of the time. Mr. Dick's letter made me forget about my "troubles" for a moment and have
a chuckle. Good grief UCO students! Why do we hafta be so damned serious all the time? I realize that obtaining a good education is a very serious matter, but does that mean we can't have some fun while we're doing it? Look around here, UCO students. We've got well-written textbooks, cool professors (Dr. Stumbaugh, Prof. Clanton, the Terrills,
Dr. Behrens, Dr. Curley, Prof. Roach, Prof. A. Johnson, Prof. Miles-Scott, etc...), decent and clean classrooms and computer labs that are practically always open. What the hell else do we need? Let's all lighten up, learn as much as we can and laugh some while we're doing it. —Staci L. Bobbit

I understand that within the busy atmosphere of a university paper, run by students who have also many other obligations, it can happen having been editor-in-chief of my own college paper 500 years ago.

what it appears to be—public entertainment which is expected to earn a profit. However, I would not go so far as to place it in the same unflattering category as a "Midnight on Elm Street" body count movie. And, I have to disagree with your assessment that the film "pangyrized immoral behavior." On the contrary, Anthony Hopkins' remarkable portrayal of the sociopath, Hannibal "The
Cannibal," did a great deal to illustrate just how insidious and nefarious these serial killers really are and what a tragedy it is they actually exist. My sympathies were always with the victims and the FBI agents who tracked the criminals; how could anyone have taken the side of the killers? The cultural relevance of the Academy Awards have always been somewhat dubious in my view. However, I do not agree with your assertion to have named
the movie "Silence of the Lambs" the best picture of the year is a slap in the face of our nation's moral
values. You may have overlooked the principle redeeming characteristic which did make it one of the best films of the year. There are very few roles for women which offer opportunities for them to portray strong characters. Jodie Foster's character, an FBI trainee, is a pleasant departure from the usual incidental or superficial female role used to fill out the plot or the dialogue. I, for one, would like to see this take place more often in the future. —J.L. Bailey

In federal court, the Western District of Oklahoma has only used the law about five or six times, said Federal Probation Officer Debbie Marshall. "It's probably not perceived as being that punitive," said Marshall. "Of the type of people we prosecute, it really doesn't deny them that much." Most drug offenders who wind up in federal court are not students, professionals who would lose their license or small business owners, Marshall said, but are serious drug dealers. However, judges are reminded of the sentencing option in each case, because the probation department includes a standard paragraph informing them of it in their pre-sentence reports, said Marshall. Altogether, only 647 offenders nationwide have been put on the disbarment list since the program started two years ago, said U.S. Department of Justice representative Brenda Barrows. Any application for student aid is routinely sent to the Department of Education, which checks the disbarment list, said University of Central Oklahoma Assistant Financial Aid Director Kenda Henthorn. So far, there have been no UCO students rejected under this prog-
Community College and saw no rejections there either. "I don't think the judges are using it that much because I haven't seen a single case at either two colleges I've worked at," said Henthorn. Few imprisoned students using talk-back TV have been affected either. Mabel Bassett Correctional Center Educational Coordinator Lynn Barnett said none of their prisoners have been denied student aid under this law. But the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs is mounting a national awareness campaign throughout 1992 to inform the public and courts of the sentencing option, said Assistant Attorney General Jimmy Gurule. In particular, students are being targeted by the campaign, because one in three students receive financial aid and over half of all college students have experimented with illegal drugs, said Gurule. "We're convinced that the drug user is an important link in the nation's drug problem," said Gurule. "Simple probations or fines are not sufficient as punishment. We want the public to know that there are serious consequences for drug use as well as trafficking." V

Campus store opens Take a ride on the Central Express; UCO quick-stop schedules convenience By Shene Murphy Staff Writer It's what students have always wanted, a convenient way to get anything from a hoagie sandwich to laundry detergent without leaving the campus. The grand opening of Central Express, the convenience store makes those offcampus treks a thing of the past, said Willie Maxwell, store manager. Central Express is located between West hall and the north side of Central Cafeteria. The cafeteria will be open for those students who want to come in and study or socialize, said Maxwell. "This will be convenient for those individuals who do not have cars," Maxwell said. "And it would only take about five minutes to get what you need because of its location on campus."

"The prices are very reasonable, and the students will save money as well as time," said Maxwell. Maxwell said he is still planning the inventory. "I was very suprised when we sold out of laundry detergent," Maxwell said. "I expected that to be the last item on the shelf." Parvez Murshed, student and employee at Central Express said it's very convenient for him because he is here in school for four years and when he ever needed anything he would have to go off campus. "It's a great opportunity for international students who do not have a car. We would always go to Homeland if we ever needed anything," Murshed said.

eyes would sparkle, and a smile would spread across his face. "I love it when people laugh, it's such a moment of connection," Canin said. "'Genius' is sort of a funny version (of his book). I took all the funny things out of the novel," Canin said. When an audience member asked if the characters' relationships were based on family, Canin laughed and answered, "I hate to think what it all means, it would stop me from writing. It's very embarassing so I try not to think about being open to public psychoanalysis," he said. He said that all stories are autobiographical to some point. "You can find the writer in a book by looking for the character that is physically most unlike the writer," Canin said. Canin, who graduated from Harvard medical school, has never practiced medicine. Yet. "I might next year," he said, "the last two years of medical school you're basically practicing medicine, but I never have after that. My book came out and then I wrote another book." Canin's dual career is indicative of the dual influence of his parents. Canin said his goaloriented, practical side comes from his father, a classical violinist, and his romantic, dreamer skit comes from his mother, an artist and teacher. "I've always thought I was both, split right down the middle. I can't tell which I'm more like," Canin said. "My mother loves the fact that
I'm a writer, my father is pulling his hair out," he said. "I think it was the greatest day of my father's life when I told him I was graduating," Canin said. "He didn't care about the books — what are they — he was just happy to know that I was getting out of school." During his discussion with the audience, Canin talked about his writing. "I need to write, and no matter how hard it is, and no matter how much I hate it today, and how much I swear I'll never do it again, by tomorrow I'm gonna do it again," he said. "I think you have to be sort of in a manic explosive, half-crazy
mood. Do you feel that also?" Canin asked. Canin also offered advice to writers. "I think it is very important, if you want to be a fiction writer, to write every single day. It doesn't matter how much you write, don't worry about that, if you write a sentence that's fine. Another day you'll write five pages, but you've got to write that first sentence, that's the hard one," Canin said. Canin's visit was sponsored by the English Society, a campus organization for students and faculty interested in literature. V

Tornado season's whirling in! It's easy to avoid statistic status in "Tornado Alley;" but the answer, my friend, is not blowin' in the wind By Tami Watson Student Writer It is a beautiful spring day. The sun is shining, the sky is blue except for a few small clouds in the distance. Suddenly, these clouds rush in, blanketing the sky. Severe weather is not far behind. This is typical spring weather in Oklahoma and it is now the midst of tornado season. "Although tornadoes can occur any time of year, the majority occur in April, May and June," said Gary England, chief meterologist for KWTV. Because of Oklahoma's location, being near both the cool Rocky Mountains and the warm Gulf of Mexico, the state experiences more tornadoes per square mile than any location in the world. This is why Oklahoma is sometimes called "Tornado Alley." Because of today's modern technology, such as Doppler radar, there is much advanced warning before many of these storms hit. Although these storms are not as tragic as they once were, 120 people still die each year because of them. Common sense and a few helpful tornado tips will keep you from being one of these statistics. First, know the difference between a tornado watch and a tor-

Diamond corner Softball Torrential downpours forced the cancellation of the winners' bracket at the Central Missouri Softball Tournament Saturday but not before Central Oklahoma qualified for the quarterfinals. The Lady Bronchos (now 23-12) defeated Lincoln, Ill., 12-2 and host 1991 top 20 finisher CMSU 3-0 but lost 3-0 to Ferris State (Mich.) to enter winner's bracket play as the No. 2 seed from their pool. Jody Galbraith relieved UCO starter Christy Burcham (7-5) in the third inning of the loss to FSU. The pair combined on a six-hitter, but UCO managed just four hits. "The real UCO team didn't show up until the about the fourth inning," said UCO coach Gerry Pinkston. "We shut them down when we started to play our game." Genny Honea (9-4) got both pitching wins. Eight games remain on the schedule, and Pinkston said UCO needs to win them all to have a shot at the playoffs.

UCO keeps pace at OU By Justin Harper

The John Jacobs Invitational track meet, held at the University of Oklahoma Saturday, was unlike any track meet Central Oklahoma had seen all year. Despite the numerous NCAA I programs in attendance and besides the fact that it was the most talent laden field UCO had seen this season, it was the presence of Michael Johnson, the 1991 U.S. male track Athlete of the Year, that made this meet a rarity. Was UCO impressed? Probably. Intimidated? Not. The Bronchos were a small fish
in a big pond and it didn't help matters that they were without their top sprinter, Bill Shepard. UCO was undaunted however and proceeded to perform admirably, placing in several events. Mike Cheney roared to a first place finish in the 400 meter hurdles with a time of 52.15, finishing a full second ahead of the second place finisher. Kevin Nichols placed in two events, coming in fourth in the shot put with a heave of 47-8 and fifth in the discus with a 156-11
also a Broncho hoopster, managed a sixth place finish in the long jump with a leap of 21'11". The womens team did not make ithe trip to Norman and will stay home again when the men travel to Lawrence, Kan. Friday and Saturday to compete in the Kansas Relays. V
Broncho hurler James Garcia won his third-straight start as Central Oklahoma's baseball team split a twinbill Saturday against Abilene Christian. UCO, now 24-22, matched the slugging 'Cats with nine hits and overcame three ACU home runs for an 8-6 win to improve to 7-5 in Lone Star Conference play. Rival Cameron also improved to 7-5 in league play with a threegame sweep of Eastern New Mexico. The Bronchos dropped the nightcap 4-1 and lost 6-0 Friday as Wildcat starter Mike Morgan (8-1) scattered six hits over nine innings. "They had two outstanding pitching performances, and we
didn't hit the ball well in the first and third games," said UCO coach Wendell Simmons. The Bronchos have two key LSC series remaining. They'll play host to ENMU Friday and Saturday and Cameron April 24-25. The Cameron series will likley determine the league's first baseball champion. "We control our own destiny," Simmons said. "All our remaining league games are at home. We have to go out and play one game at a time. V Compiled by Bill Kramer

One in five high schoolers risk AIDS with multiple sex partners ATLANTA (AP) - One in five high school students are putting themselves at high risk for AIDS by having sex with four or more partners, researchers say. "The best way to explain it to kids is that it's like playing Russian roulette and not knowing how many live bullets are in the chambers," said Dr. Lloyd Kolbe of the national Centers for Disease Control. The CDC reported Thursday that 19 percent of U.S. high school students have had four or more sex partners; the percentage jumps to 29 percent by senior year. Male students were more likely than females to be that sexually active, 27 percent to 12 percent. For black males, the figure was 60 percent., compared with 21 percent for white males. Only a moderate number of sexually active students are protecting themselves against AIDS and other diseases, the CDC said. Of students who had engaged in sex in the previous three months, 45 percent reported using condoms.
American reduces air fares, other airlines expected to follow NEW YORK (AP) - Some travelers will find air fares sharply lower. American said last week its first-class fares will be 20 percent to 50 percent lower beginning yesterday, and unrestricted coach fares will be at least 38 percent cheaper. United, Delta, USAir, Northwest, Continental, Alaska Airlines and America West quickly said they would match the plan either completely or partially. Trans World Airlines, a frequent fare-chopper now in bankruptcy court, said it was studying the plan. American is betting the lower fares will encourage more people to fly, bringing bigger profits in the long run to offset a short-term financial blow. If the plan doesn't work, American Chairman Robert L. Crandall said, it might at least build good will among travelers angered by high fares and confused by the many restrictions put in place by the airlines.
Surgical procedure studied as alternative to breast implants ST. LOUIS (AP) A surgical procedure gaining attention across the country may provide a safer, more natural alternative to silicone gel breast implants. The procedure involves taking excess skin and fat from a woman's abdomen, buttock or thigh to mold a new breast or breasts, said Roger Khouri, assistant professor in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Washington University's School of Medicine. "The tissue is not rejected, sensation returns to the breast, which never occurs with implants, and you avoid the potential complication of leakage and disfiguring scar formation," Khouri said. The procedure is being used primarily for women who have mastectomies and those who have had problems with breast implants, he said. But as the technique, known as the microvascular free flap, is perfected and more surgeons are trained, it could be an alternative to implants for women who want to enlarge their breasts, Khouri said. More studies will be conducted, but the present information suggests this could replace implants as the cosmetic alteration of choice, he said.

BOSTON (AP) - A study found that booze makes the body burn fat more slowly, which helps explain those beer bellies, saddlebags and spare tires on heavy drinkers. The study, published in today's New England Journal of Medicine, tackled the question of alcohol's effect on the way the body uses different nutrients. Its conclusion: Alcohol throws off the body's normal disposal of fat. Any fat that is not burned is stored. That means flab in the belly, the behind and thighs - anywhere people tend to put on weight
