Trees, t-shirts on schedule for Earth Day 1992 I ill"' By Angela Mitchell Student Writer Activities for Earth Day '92 will begin at 9 a.m. and continue throughout the day, April 22 at the University of Central Oklahoma Centennial Square. In honor of Earth Day, 200 trees were donated to the Farth Day Committee and will be given out to the first 200 people, said Andy Boatman, committee member and organizer. "Last year the event was a big success and the trees went fast," said Boatman. "This year we hope for even a larger crown." The activities will consist of volleyball, a sidewalk chalk drawing, a six-foot Earth Ball, display booths and T-shirt sales. Boatman said the chalk drawings will take place on the sidewalks around the Centennial Square and the chalk will be provided. The Earth Ball is a replica of the planet Earth. It was purchased by the committee and will help bring awareness to the planet, he said. Display booths will be set up with spokespersons from Keep Edmond Beautiful and the Department of Transportation. Additional information will be available from other organizations such as the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife, National Department of Wildlife and the Sierra Club, said Boatman. Earth Day T-shirts, sponsored by the UCO Biology Club, will be available outside the Oklahoma Room in the University Center, said John Peeples, biology club president. The T-shirts are only available in XL, $12.50, and XXL, $13.50. The proceeds will go toward planting new trees on campus, said Peeples. Boatman said he plans to help the university continue its annual Earth Day celebration. It not only provides entertainment, but it educates the campus on environmental issues that concern everyone.

Campus forest made from aluminum cans •

By Angela Mitchell

Student Writer Earth Day is everyday for the Biology Club at the University of Central Oklahoma. The club has established an aluminum can recycling program with all proceeds going for new trees to be planted on campus. The Biology Club first established the program in the spring of 1989, said John

Pepples, biology club president. He said the program was started as a joint effort to recycle aluminum and purchase trees for the campus. The aluminum is collected by the biology club members once a week. The members sign up to help and are rotated on a weekly basis, he said. The collection containers, donated in the spring of 1989, are located at Howell Hall, the Communications Building, Old North and the library.

"We originally put one inside the Liberal Arts Building but everytime we went to pick up the cans, all we got was garbage. So we moved it to Howell Hall," said Pepples. "We hope to get one inside the Administration Building, but we have to have another one donated first." The proceeds from the aluminum goes for the purchase of trees to be planted on campus. Since the program started approximately 20 trees have been planted, said Pepples.

The money is given to a commitee in the Administration Building which purchases the trees, he said. The trees are purchased from the Oklahoma Tree Bank and cost approximately $18 each. "The program has been very successful and will hopefully continue," said Pepples. V

Grand cathedral should be restored • The restoration begins for a Paris landmark. But when will the restoration begin for a more ancient monument?

he once majestic sanctuary now stands as a silent mass of rock and mortar. The flying buttresses, which gave the church a strong foundation, continue in their everyday ritual of decay. The wing-spread gargoyles, symbolizing man's fear of the unknown, fear for their own future as they sit upon the crumbling arches. With muted beaks and no ears with which to hear, the gargoyles wait as their faces turn from smooth stone to acne-scarred, wrinkled likenesses of what they once were. The sanctuary is the 800-year-old monument to the Roman Catholic faith in Paris, France — The Cathedral of Notre Dame. Sulfuric car fumes, heating oil and factory smoke have reduced the church from a place of glory to a dingy tourist attraction. While camera-clicking tourists and emotionless cyclists have most recently traveled its aisles instead of repenting followers, environmental pollution is more than a symbol for the cathedral's corrosion. Another sacred monument is also deteriorating in much the same way as the grand cathedral. Its pure and clean, blue streams, which once were homes for fish, turtles and other reptiles, are now deadly passages for the disposal of aluminum cans, styrofoam cups, plastic containers and toxic waste. Dangerous and deadly chemical fumes now compose its air, rather than oxygen alone. And deep beneath its dark, moist soil, nuclear weapons lie undetonated. The 4.6 billion-year-old cathedral — the Earth — is being destroyed each day by the people who inhabit it. A ten year, $20 million project is underway to restore the cathedral to its grandeur. The Roman Catholic cathedral will be returned to its original majestic and revered stature. But when will the salvation of the Earth begin?

How now Brown skeptic Bathing beauty basher's basher bashed big time; candidate's supporter invites discussion of issues n response to Craig King's response to Julie Taylor's letter on the "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue: Mr. White, you ask Ms. Taylor if she's a member of the Brown campaign due to her raising "non-issues." Need I remind you that it was you who felt a need to take time to write a letter regarding the "Sports Illustrated" swimsuit issue? Would you like to see Clinton and Brown debate the pros and cons of one and two piece swimwear? Is this worthy of your interest? Frankly, you seem to have trouble recognizing bona fide issues. Let me tell you about one of them: 1. Since you are not a Brown supporter, your candidate of choice is being funded in part by special interest groups, PACS, and the like. How do you like the fact that the tobacco lobby has dumped $2.2 million into the Clinton campaign? How do you like the fact that our president's campaign is funded almost entirely by special interests, oil companies and supporters who rank in the top 1 percent earning bracket? The issue becomes apparent. Most of us are left behind in this process. Politicians respond to those who make contributions. Do you remember George Bush say-

ing he wanted to be the environmental president? Has Mr. Bush done anything to show us he gives a damn about the environment? Could it be that hundreds of thousands of dollars from big oil companies have swayed his judgment? Could it be that thousands of dollars and free plane trips from the Tyson Company caused Bill Clinton to overlook pollution problems in Arkansas? (Arkansas has the worst environmental record in the U.S.; Oklahoma is second. Perhaps that is why Bill Clinton did so well here.) The main point is that when campaigns are primarily funded by groups and not individuals, the politician tends to shift his attention toward the groups and large amounts of money. At that point, he is, essentially, "bought." Brown's campaign allows only individual contributions of no more than $100, because the power of office is too important to be in the hands of anyone but "the people." Jerry Brown, like all of us, is a flawed human being. The difference is, he doesn't wait until he gets caught to admit his flaws. As he often says, the campaign isn't about him, it's about him taking a

savagely wounded nation in anew direction. President Bush has free rent, free transportation, free food, free airfare and free medicine. Do you? The only interest the incumbent party (Democrats and Republicans alike) has is to preserve power and to keep the Haves at a safe distance from the Have-nots. This is where you come in Mr. White. I invite you to call me at 359-7438 to discuss the issues. As a normal American taxpayer, you are among the majority who would benefit from a Brown presidency, and it's imperative that we bring back the nation of government service as opposed to selfserving government. We can do it, Mr. White. And I will close by saying that I understand your skepticism. Believe me, I never expected to vote for Mr. Brown, let alone run the state campaign. You're not seeing the whole story in the evening news. This is not just a campaign, this is a movement. To find out what we stand for, call. And once again, I urge all my fellow UCO students to register and vote. It's your country too. Let's keep it that way. —

Asimov remembered T

. A. Clark's editorial on the great Isaac Asimov was on the mark, but more could be added for Asimov wrote on a myriad of subjects. His Guide to Mark Twain and Guide to Shakespeare received critical acclaim from specialists in those fields. His Guide to the Bible

was favorably reviewed by Biblical scholars, and his books for children and writings on scientific topics have been lauded. Raised as a Jew, Dr. Asimov became an unbeliever early in life and died as a self-proclaimed atheist and secular humanist. He was also a strong exponent of hu-

man rights and individual liberty and, according to those who knew him well, a very decent and caring fellow. Isaac Asimov, hail and farewell. You will always be remembered. —

People drinking up the ponds

_ arth Day 1992 is this month — a day to pause

l and reflect what the human race has accomplished en-

vironmentally in the last two decades. It hasn't been a lot. On the contrary we've managed to create a hole in the ozone; we're destroying acres of tropical forest each week and we've completely obliterated many species of wildlife from our planet. Then, of course, there's Chernobyl and Three Mile Island nuclear disasters, not to mention the ecological tragedy caused by the war in Kuwait. Our planet is approximately five billion years old, with the human race existing only in the last three million years. During this relatively short period, we have created many beautiful and enduring works. At the same time, we've also managed to create environmental disasters that have forever destroyed a large portion of our planet's resources. While we stand in awe at Michaelangelo's David or a painting by Picasso; pay hornage to our grand monuments and skyscrapers and take great pride in our technological advances, we have little regard for some of the most beautiful natural gifts on earth and perhaps in the universe — our waters, our forests, our air. Native Americans have an old saying, "A frog does not drink up the pond in which it lives." Every day it is more evident that our greed and ignorance in taking and never giving back to the earth has clouded our perception of what's really important. While victimizing the earth, we are ultimately becoming our own victims. We are thinking up the pond. As it was in primitive times, the creative and problem solving capacity of the human brain is, for all practical purposes, infinite. We CAN resolve the problems of population, pollution, war, hunger and famine. We CAN educate ourselves in ecological responsibility for oneself, for others and for the earth. The following is a portion of a speech given by Chief Seattle in 1855, after whom the city of Seattle is named. Though he spoke of issues concerning his people and the era he lived in, the meaning of his speech applies to issues facing all of us today. "...if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart and sacred as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers. Will you teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know. The earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web he does to himself. One thing we know, our God is also your God. The earth is precious to Him. And to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator. Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when all the buffalo are slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent with many men and the view of the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone. Where will the eagle be? Gone. And what is it to say goodbye to the swift pony and the hunt, the end of living and the beginning of survival? When the last red man has vanished with his wilderness and his memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the prairie, will these shores and forests still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of our people left? We love this earth as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat. So, if we sell you our land, love it as we have loved it. Care for it as we have cared for it. Hold in your mind the memory of the land as it is when you receive it..." I think Chief Seattle would be very sad if he were alive today and could see the mess we've made of our beautiful green planet. We haven't been very good caretakers. My hope is that when the year 2000 comes around, we won't look back on the `90s as only a coined phrase "Decade of Environmental Awareness" and not place any real meaning to it. We do not have the time to be ideological or politically motivated in our quest for a cleaner environment. A genuine effort to change must begin NOW in our thoughts and behavior as individuals and collective members of the human race. —

Program MISsing at UCO CO has proposed the setting up of a BBA (Man agement Information Systems) major since last year. But up until now, rumours have been spreading since last year that it is going to be set up, but no one knows when. The latest is that we will know about it after the Board of Regent's meetng in April. What I am puzzled about is why the delay in setting up of the BBA(MIS) major? How come students are not told the reasons for its delay? It is very ironical that UCO has a Master's program in CIS but does not have a similar Bachelor's

program. A business university like UCO cannot ignore the setting up of such a popular program as it has everything to gain with the existing computer facilities. Through feedback from other students, I have discovered that many American students as well as international students too are in favor of a BBA(MIS) course. I believe that UCO has many things to gain from setting up the course. The microcomputer industry is booming around the world as well in the U.S., and the demand for graduates with MIS majors is rising.

Most universities in the U.S. have already set up either MIS or a CIS (computer information systems) major as the course is very popular. Many countries around the world have a high demand for graduates in MIS. Many friends from my former college choose to go to other universities because UCO does not have an MIS major, even though their first choice is UCO. I hope that UCO can set up this BBA(MIS) major soon and I am sure it will make many students very happy. Thank you. UCO MIS student —

Facility hours show poor sportsmanship

s a student of UCO, I like to do a lot of sports such as swimming, badminton and basketball. To do such activities the only facilities available are in Broncho Field House and Wantland Hall. As you know, as a sportsman and a student, the most suitable and convenient times to do the

sports activites are on Saturday and Sunday. I believe each and every student at UCO will agree with me. But according to the schedule Broncho Field House and Wantland Hall will open 2 to 5 p.m. weekdays and close on Saturday and Sunday. Through this, I want to give my suggestion on behalf of the UCO

students to ask for opening the Broncho Field House and Wantland Hall during Saturday and Sunday. I hope that the administrative department would consider our plight and extend the times on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you for the attention. —

World Wrap needs Asian news

he Vista is a great student newspaper. It is not only a great forum for students to express their opinions, but also gives students the opportunities to voice their feeling or disagreement. Besides, the Vista covers almost everything that happens on campus. That is why I always read the Vista every Tuesday and Thursday. As an international student, after I have read some of the inter-

esting articles in the paper, I never miss reading the World Wrap column. News that is in the World Wrap column is always interesting to me. However, I find that Asian news is seldom being published which makes me a bit disappointed. I have been reading the Vista since I enrolled at UCO three months ago, yet I have never come across an article concerning Malaysia or any southeast Asian countries. In fact, the foreign news

mostly comes from Europe. Looking at the increasing number of Asian students who seem to like reading Vista, I hope that the Vista will publish more Asian news in the future. This will not only benefit UCO Asian students, but it also will make the Vista more rounded in its coverage of foreign news. —

Liang Yang Cheah UCO student

Student is jumpy about flipping pages wanted to bring something to your attention that I have noticed in most of the issues of the Vista. For months, I have enjoyed reading the articles and stories in Vista but my reading is always interrupted by words like

"See page-;back page; continue on page—;" this format sometimes aggravates me. Flipping back and forth while trying to read in inconvenient. Please reduce the use of this format by putting a whole story or ar-

ticle up on a single page rather than breaking and joining it on another page. This will definitely make reading smoother and easier. —

Dorm brouhaha disturbs resident

have been of the residents in East Hall for almost two semesters, and I want to see our RAs have more power in the way of enforcement, because of my right to study. The reason why I stay in East Hall is to study, and have a room to sleep and live in. I do not need to be awakened at 2 o'clock in the morning by some of the students yelling down the halls to their friends, nor do I need to be kept awake by the yells and laughter of

my neighbors playing video games at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. I still think that those people who want to be treated as adults in East Hall don't deserve it because the first sign of being an adult is caring about other people's feelings. Many times I have seen residents, warned about excessive noise, return to their room, and turn their music back up to obnoxious levels again. I am in favor of fines. Sometimes I wonder if $10

is enough! At East Hall, the hall council recently helped RAs and staff by voting into record a clarification. At East Hall, if your noise can be clearly heard 10 feet from the door to your room, you can be fined $10. Now if we can just stop people from yelling, singing and screaming in the halls after hours, maybe we can sleep and study, the main reason we have rented a room at the university.

A smelly situation: Texas fights sludge SIERRA BLANCA, Texas (AP) — An Oklahoma City firm trying to find a place to dispose of New York City sewage sludge is running into some of the same opposition in Texas that it met in Oklahoma. Hudspeth County commissioners asked Gov. Ann Richards in a resolution Monday to temporarily halt sludge dumping in the county. The resolution, passed on a unanimous voice vote, came in reaction to plans by Merco Joint Venture of Oklahoma City and two other companies to dump sludge near Sierra Blanca, about 75 miles east of El Paso. Commissioners want Richards to declare a moratorium or issue an executive order prohibiting the Texas Water Commission from approving such projects. The resolution asks that the prohibition remain in place until the county can hold public hearings and draft regulations. "We of course deplore this ac-

tivity," County Judge Bill Love said. "There is no permit involved in this. The only requirement is registration and approval...so there's no requirement for public hearings."

By Traci McKnight Student Writer Nine art galleries and over 50 artists from across the state of Oklahoma participated in a "gallery hop" Saturday in downtown Oklahoma City to celebrate Earth Day and promote environmental awareness. Seven months ago, artist Larry Pickering and gallery owners Jeanette Koenig and J. Don Cook began thinking of a way to have an art exhibition dealing with the environment and from their efforts this year's first environmental "gallery hop" was born. "The concept of earth awareness through the leadership of artists, who have always been the forerunners of ideas, makes this event the perfect forum for progress for the environment and the art community in Oklahoma," said Koenig.

The nine participating galleries were: The Galleries at Stage Center, Individual Artists of Oklahoma, Hulsey Gallery at the Norick Art Center, Artisan 9 at Shepherd Mall, Route 66 Gallery at 50 Penn Place, Pickard Gallery, Paseo Artists Association and OCAM at ArtsPlace. "We would have liked for more people to have shown up," said Shauna Lawyer, a representative for the event. Lawyer said about 500 people showed up for the "gallery hop" which was good considering all the other things that were going on last weekend. "We hope to do it again next year at a better time when not as many other things are going on. We'll just have to get with the galleries and find out what worked and didn't work with this one so we can make the next one better," said Lawyer. V

Parks, not animals, endangered By T.A. Clark

Guest Writer Last summer, I spent my time in Glacier National Park, Montana. It was a cool deal where I worked my tail off in a kitchen during the week, and spent the weekends with the wildlife. Animals I had seen in the wild before were moose, deer, elk, chipmunks, mountain goats and bald eagles. The ones I had never seen before were grizzly bears, black bears, bighorn sheep and the everendangered extreme liberal. It was a blast and I could tell you how it was so beautiful and

make it sound like heaven on Earth. And I believe it is heaven on Earth. A Native American called it "where God kissed the Earth." That is the most accurate description I can give you of Glacier. I personally believe that is how this world should be: Man and Nature hand in hand. Not Man with a knife stabbing Nature in the back. So I made a mistake. (Yes, halt the presses. T.A. Clark made a mistake. Mark it on your calendar folks!) My mistake was thinking I could only go to a national park in another state. Wrong!!! Oklahoma, that grand old state, has a national park of its own. Located near Sulphur, the Chickasaw

National Recreation Area has 10,000 acres for tourist enjoyment.

Column This and other national parks have been set aside by our forefathers so that we may enjoy Nature as it should be. But alas, as Earth Day is around, it's time to point out some of the dangers to these wonderful preserves (the parks, not plum jam) by we, the human population. Believe it or not, the major problem facing the national parks is litter, says Beth Martin, chief interpreter for the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. "The old saying 'take only pictures and leave only footprints' is

still the best creed for tourists," Martin said. Which leads onto the next problem, people taking things. My first thought on this one was a bunch of old people smuggling chipmunks out of the park. But according to Martin, it is punishable by law to take anything out of a national park. Besides, what if everyone took one rock or leaf or plant? There wouldn't be a national park left. Another problem is feeding animals. Everyone thinks of Yogi Bear in Jellystone trying to steal the picnic basket. Wrong. Think about it. Give a bear one peanut butter and jelly sandwich a day for a month, he comes to expect a peanut butter and jelly sandwich each

day from you. Then one day, deny him the sandwich. What happens? There won't be enough of you left to bury. And now the big problem. The national parks need volunteers. Approximately 75,000 volunteers a year go to different parks all over this country. The work is too much for the rangers to handle, they need help. If you have a summer and you wanna do something worthy, check out Yellowstone, Glacier, Chickasaw, Grand Canyon or many of the other national parks. Oh, yeah, I'm going back to Glacier this year. Maybe I can snap a couple of pictures of some Grizzlys. With a telephoto lens. A long, long, long telephoto lens. V

Preserving biodiversity prime concern By Penny Owen

Staff Writer Biodiversity — a word referring to the variety of mammals, reptiles and insects that make up the ecosystem -- is the new buzzword floating around biology circles these days. And preserving the earth's biodiversity is fast becoming a prime concern among biologists and conservationists. In Oklahoma alone, many oncecommon species of mammals are now endangered or extinct, said University of Central Oklahoma Biology Professor William Caire, author of Mammals in Oklahoma.

For instance, both the grizzly bear and two types of wolves have disappeared in Oklahoma due to their lack of compatibility with man and natural habitat. Three species of bats, the Texas kangaroo rat and the jumping mouse have also vanished from the Oklahoma landscape. Lax hunting laws may be attributed to the endangerment of antelope, elk and bison. Otters nearly disappeared, as did beavers during the earlier fur-trapping days, but efforts have been made to reintroduce these animals to Oklahoma. Caire compares the deletion of these animals to an airplane wing

losing its rivets one at a time. Although a few may not make a difference in the way the plane flies, removing enough rivets will eventually make the plane crash. "All those species are interrelated and interdependent on each other," said Caire. "The consequ-

ence of losing these species is unknown, but we may be wiping out future sources of vaccines that we don't even know about yet." Although the ecosystem seems to be fine without certain species today, it still may have a long-term negative effect.

"We need to look further down the road," said Caire. "It may take 100 years to know what the effect of losing grizzly bears will have. You have a politician say 'Look, we moved the wolves and nothing happened.' Maybe we just won't know for another 50 years." V

CNG: future fuel isting gasoline cars, but the cost is around $1500, she said CNG pumps can be installed at the car owner's home. The gas then comes from the local gas company and the car owner pays the bill directly to the company. This service will allow the car owner quick access to CNG, she said.

By Angela Mitchell Student Writer Compressed natural gas (CNG) automobiles was the topic April 14 in the Problems of Today's Consumer class at the University of Central Oklahoma. Teresa Scott, Oklahoma Natural Gas spokesperson, spoke to the class on the benefits of using compressed natural gas instead of gasoline. "In many large populated cities across the United States, alternatives to gasoline are being used due to the pollution," said Scott. "Compressed natural gas(CNG) has so far been the best choice." "Many countries, such as Japan, have already switched to CNG," said Scott. "Our country is a little behind, but slowly we'll get there." • CNG costs approximately 79 cents per gallon and is estimated to go even lower. "CNG is not only more economical, it is more environmentally safe than gas," said Scott. "This is the greatest issue concerning CNG." Many car manufacturers are building cars that run on CNG. They are estimated to be on the market by 1993, she said. The CNG car will not cost any more than gasoline powered cars. CNG tanks can be installed in ex-

In many large populated cities across the United States, alternatives to gasolin are being used due to the pollution. Compressed natural gas (CNG) has so far been the best choice.

Green tag special New license plate to be designed By Tami Watson Student Writer Students concerned about the environment may soon be able to state their position on a new license tag. The House recently approved Senate Bill 933 authorizing the state to issue special "Environmental Awareness" license tags. The tags will cost motorists an additional $25 and are expected to bring $700,000 to the Department of Pollution Control.

The funds will be used to provide environmental education for the State of Oklahoma, including a resource guide, scholarships for teachers, grants for classrooms and nonprofit organizations for environmental education activities. "This program will provide a mechanism whereby environmental education resources can be made available to educators and organizations wishing to promote and stimulate interest in environmental awareness and pollution prevention," said Cheryl Cohenour, Oklahoma Environmental Education Task Force chairman.

"Oklahoma has a vast supply of natural resources and it's up to Oklahomans to protect and preserve those resources as a heritage for future generations." A contest will be conducted throughout the state to develop an Oklahoma Environmental Awareness license plate design. The winning entry will be determined by a panel of judges and will be reproduced by a professional artist. Anyone interested in entering the contest should contact the Department of Pollution control at 271-4468. V

The CNG can also be purchased at any ONG plant or participating gas station. "Many CNG cars have both a gas and CNG tank," said Scott. "This assures the motorist that if CNG is not available, gasoline can be purchased in emergency situations. This is usually most people's greatest fear." V

Pitcher perfect day Honea, Burcham shackle Aggies Softball standouts Genny Honea and Christy Burcham sparkled in Tuesday's twin bill sweep of Cameron as Central Oklahoma's offense run-ruled the rival Aggies and continue a late-season push for an at-large bid into the NCAA II playoffs. Honea (10-4, 134 K's in 103 1/3 IP) struck out 11 and allowed just one hit during a 9-0 shutout in the opener, while Burcham (8-5) shined equally as bright with a two-hit, eight-strikeout effort in the closer as UCO beat Cameron 8-1 and improved to 26-11. UCO rallied from a 1-0 second-inning deficit in the second game, with Williamson collecting the game-winning RBI in the third, scoring Tracy Willis. Honea not only starred on the mound but went 5-for-6 at the plate, driving in three runs and scoring five more. She also took over the team batting lead, improving from .423 to .447 and has 13 doubles, four triples, three home runs and 23 RBI for the year. Teammate Shelly Williamson was 4-for-5, with two RBI and two runs scored, and Lisa Oliver and Tammy George each collected three hits on the day. The Lady Bronchos wrap up the home portion of their season at 3 p.m. today in a doubleheader against Oklahoma Baptist. The season finale is Wednesday at Northeastern in Tahlequah. V

Ecology society sprouting Earth Day planners set sights on monthly meetings; student wants observance expanded to Earth Week By Traci McKnight

Student Writer

Andy Boatman, a student at the University of Central Oklahoma, is currently working to further the cause of environmental protection on the UCO campus. Boatman is one of the key organizers of the Earth Day celebration this year at UCO and is also trying to organize an ecological society to work all year long on projects to help the environment, he said. "A couple of years ago they had a beautification on-campus project which worked for a while, but they disbanded it because of the physical plant," said Boatman. One of the things the new ecology club would be involved in doing would be planning for Earth Day every year, said Boatman. "I would like to see a whole week. Like this year, Earth Day is on Wednesday, and we'll prob-

ably only do things that day. But I would like to see a whole week of activities planned next year, with speakers and slide shows," said Boatman. "It would be real nice if people would get active because it is hard for me to find a lot of time to spend on it personally," said Boatman. Boatman had a meeting to discuss the Earth Day festivivties Thursday April 2, with many representatives from the different buildings and departments on campus. The participants also discussd plans for the next academic year and set another meeting for April 15, to discuss further plans for the next academic year that will hopefully involve many more organizations on campus, said Boatman. "I just want students, administration and everyone just to get together once a month," said Boatman.

The American Cancer Society will once again collect used metal from communities in Oklahoma during the month of April in honor of Earth Day. Since the program started, it has raised more than $1,100,000. "We would like to offer the cities and towns in Oklahoma the capability of helping with a city cleanup," said Jim Crim, chairman of the American Cancer Society's Auto Action. "This will help the American Cancer Society's program in any community across the state and help clean the environment." The program began in 1982 in Oklahoma and the proceeds go toward cancer research, education and service, Crim said. V

Boatman will have a place at the Earth Day celebration this year for people to sign up for the new ecological club on campus. "I'll have poster boards up and papers that you can leave your permanent address or possibly were you'll be next year, so we can do a letter telling you where we're going to meet next year at the beginning of the year and try to get organized so that by the time the semester is over we'll have some things done.Then, the next semester we can just focus on Earth Day," said Boatman. Because UCO is a commuter campus Boatman said that it was often harder to recruit people. "It's real hard to get people on this campus because everyone has work and school and family and everyone is always running everywhere," said Boatman.

The BSU at the west end of the UCO campus, across from Mitchell Hall. Chris Forbes, director of internationals for the First Baptist Church, said the Jesus film festival was a chance for international students, both Christian and nonChristian, to find out what Easter is and learn why Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The film presents the story of Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke. Genesis Project, producer and distributor of the movie, has made the film historically accurate and Biblically true, said Forbes. The words that Jesus spoke in the movie are taken directly from the Bible. Urdu is the language of Pakistan; Mandarin is spoken by many Chinese; Farsi is the Iranian lan-

A buzzed Boz gets bagged SEATTLE (AP) — Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth has been charged with drunken driving, a King County Prosecutor's spokesman said. Bosworth will be arraigned April 29 in Shoreline District Court on one count of driving while intoxicated, spokesman Dan Donohoe said. He was charged Monday. Bosworth's Ford Bronco was stopped by a Washington State Patrol trooper at about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday on Highway 520 east of Seattle. He was taken into custody and given a breath test, then released to a relative, State Patrol Lt. Dick Smith said. Bosworth was a two-time All-America linebacker at Oklahoma. He had a brief, injury-riddled career with the Seahawks after being picked first in the 1987 NFL supplemental draft. Bosworth signed a 10-year, $11 million contract with the club. He played in only 24 games over three seasons, and was released in July 1990 after failing a physical because of an injured shoulder. Since leaving football, Bosworth has gone into acting. His first film was a biker-detective feature called "Stone Cold."

Flood blows through windy city CHICAGO (AP) — City workers struggled Friday to plug a hole in the Chicago River's retaining wall, hoping to stop floodwaters that kept the downtown Loop virtually shut down for a second day. Mayor Richard M. Daley said city employees knew days and possibly weeks ago about a leak that may have cause the breach in the wall. The break caused river water to flood old rail tunnels and bring downtown to a halt. "These people will be held accountable," Daley warned. Workers were pouring cement into the hole in the retaining wall this morning. The break sent millions of gallons of water into the basements of downtown buildings on Monday, shutting power and shuttering businesses. Despite reports late Monday that the hole had been sealed, Dave Mosena, Daley's chief of staff, said at a morning news briefing that some water continued to flow into the tunnels.

BOSTON (AP) — Little League baseball players often dream of hitting a home run to win the World Series, but there's one part of the game league officials would like them to forget — chewing tobacco. With studies showing more youngsters dipping into smokeless tobacco, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis Sullivan announced a campaign Monday to discourage kids from the habit. Little League officials joined Sullivan in announcing the program, which will distribute brochures to boys ages 10 to 12 who play in the baseball leagues. The brochures will describe smokeless tobacco as both unattractive and unhealthy. Similar brochures will be given to girls who play in Little League baseball's softball divisions. Studies show girls don't use smokeless tobacco as much as boys, but the brochures will ask the girls to speak to the boys about their habit.
