SGA candidates hold election debate By Michelle Peller

Staff Writer The Student Government Association at the University of Central Oklahoma held a debate between the presidential and vice presidential candidates at 5 :30 p.m. Wednesday in the Senate Room. The presidential candidates are Colin Martin and Joacquin Stevens. Ben Harris, Jenny Thompson and Abid Khawaja are the

candidates for vice president. Each candidate had five minutes to tell their experience, why they were running for office and what they would do different to improve the university. Martin said that often SGA is misperceived as a president government association or senator government association, but he made it clear that SGA is a STUDENT government association. He made a comment on UCO having a large percentage of commuter students and

they come to school, go to their classes and then leave; therefore, they do not get involved with the university because they are not aware of what is available on campus. He said that they need to increase publicity, student awareness and student government participation. As president, Martin will have an open door policy. Anyone with questions or complaints will be welcome to come in and talk to him. He commented on the budget of SGA,

which is not their money, but the students. "Students need to know where their money's going, why it is going there, and they need to be benefactors to them," he said. Martin said that he has a student directory plan drawn up and all it is going to take is some hard work and initiative but with administrative agreement, it can be done. Martin is a junior who has been involved with SGA for two years. V See DEBATE, Page 5

FAcing 4U*. pain: the fight against rape Rape convictions lack consistency in punishment By Janet Runge

Staff Writer

This is part three of a four-part series about rape. The series is featured in the Tuesday editions.

Rape: The punishment for the offenders.

Women who report rape may face interviews with the police, the medical profession and the District Attorney's (DA) Office, and it is within the sex crimes unit at the DA's Office that the justice system begins its long and winding course. Ray Elliott, director of criminal division at Oklahoma County's DA's Office, said that any large district attorney's office has a specialized unit that deals only with sexual assault crimes. Elliott said that each of the assistant DA's go to special state and national seminars where they receive sensitivity training in dealing with victims. "It's an extensive type of training before and during the time they enter our unit," he said. In addition to the four prosecuting attorneys, the crimes unit also has a victim's advocate that works for them, he said. "The advocate in our office has the first initial contact with the victim," said Elliott. "The advocate has a self-contained office on a separate floor so the victim can be interviewed in a private setting." Elliott said that recent developments in DNA has

helped tremendously in prosecution of sexual assaults. "If we have a DNA characteristic that is found in only 1-in-500,000 people and then indict a person with those characteristics, it's exciting evidence," he said. Elliott attributes the wide range of sentences that convicted rapists receive to the fact that most cases go before a judge or a jury. Elliott said that plea bargaining is rarely used in prosecuting sexual offenses. "There would be a more uniform sentencing in plea bargaining, but we don't like to plea bargain in sexual assaults," he said. "We try to convict on maximum sentences in many of our cases." Elliott said that while the DA's office may prosecute a sexual assault even if the victim doesn't press charges, it's rare if they do. "Once a rape is reported to the police, it's the state of Oklahoma vs. the bad guy, not the victim vs. the bad guy," he said. Elliott said the victim is asked by their advocate if they are willing to pursue a case. "The only way to break the cycle is for people to come forward and let the system work." When doors close: Offenders behind bars. Dr. G. Richard Kishur, is a behavioral therapist. V See RAPE, Page 7

Info-highway should kill evil, not people

April 19, 1994

INS-7- 6AD o F WRR, LEI I HEM PLPy f A'q LE S.

he world needs to build more "on ramps" to the "information Highway." Greed, ignorance and intolerance are not justifiable excuses for the atrocities committed in today's supposedly well-informed world. Rwanda, Bosnia, South Africa, the Middle East, Korea, etc. The list continues to grow like weeds in an unkept yard. Even in the United States, people still take up arms in fear because they lack understanding of one another. People must learn that the information highway exists. They must learn that it leads to knowledge and an intellectual understanding of the cultural identities, ideologies and beliefs held by others. People must learn that if we promote and support the construction of the information highway, in time it will connect us all. Today, television, radio and print journalism promote the construction of the information highway and initiate the "flow of knowledge." They have made more knowledge available than ever before. Computers add to the flow of knowledge by making information instantly accessible to anyone who wants it. All of this information flows into the senses, and yet people continue to torture, maim and kill each other in response to long dead attitudes, fears and misunderstandings. People fear change. Fanatics and fundamentalist radicals continue to act as gatekeepers by squelching the knowledge that threatens the boundaries of their ideological influences. Certain leaders in today's world maintain the view that "knowledge is power" and "might makes right." Thus, they act accordingly by oppressing the ignorant masses and forcing them to take up arms for the purpose of dividing the common ground on which all must stand. Intellect and knowledge must be used to conquer ignorance, intolerance, famine, poverty and disease, rather than each other. A great deal of effort has gone into providing us with access to the information highway. No one should sit idle and allow the socially ill to destroy it.

SGA president encourages voting today

tudent Government elections are today and to morrow, and I want to encourage you to vote. Your vote will determine the effectiveness of your Student Government for the coming year, and in order to insure SGA's effectiveness, I would like to encourage you to vote Colin Martin as your new

Student Government president. Colin has been in Student Government for two years and has impressed me with his hard work and determination. He possesses the ability and drive to get things done for the students as well as the experience needed to do the job right. As the current Student Government president, I am confident that

Colin will continue the positive growth of SGA for the University of Central Oklahoma and its students. First and foremost, I ask that you vote today or tomorrow. When you do vote, remember Colin Martin for Student Government president. Aarron Montgomery President, SGA -

Please allow me to introduce you to who I believe are the best candidates for the titles of president and vice president. As an active Student Government senator, I personally witnessed the actions and attitudes of all of the candidates, and I must say that Colin Martin and Jenny Thompson are two of the most dedicated, hard working people I have ever met.

'Disorders' no excuse for criminal acts

nother example of a "nation of crybabies." The accused is being defended by is parents as having "attention deficit disorder." I can understand his parents defending their son. Maybe this will cure his "disorder" and get his attention as well as the rest of the world. I have a hypothesis: Could it possibly be that Mr. Fay has a

criminal disorder?! Oh no! I said it! I can hear the voices of outcry by the women jurors of the Menendez trial: "He is so cute! He didn't commit those crimes! He is not a criminal!" Despite his own confession of "I did it." Well, it is about time that someone (Singapore) has finally put their foot down, and I hope that the sentence is carried through. Maybe

the United States will learn someday that the reason for laws is so people will be protected from spoiled, wimpy brats who act out on their anger because mommy didn' t buy them the Snoopy Snow Cone Machine when they were five! Criminals mustbe punished! Trent Coe UCO Student -

LETTERS Frat president comments on article

am writing today to comment on the fraternity bath-

tub push story in the April 14 edition of The Vista. I only have a few comments on how the story was reported on and then written. On April 12, I was interviewed by a reporter named Michelle for about 30 minutes. I learned through the interview that Michelle had followed the push all day Saturday. After repeatedly asking her if she had any more questions, she said no. Not one question was asked about any alcohol consumption or on the topic of members urinating in local yards. A couple of hours later, while at work, I was contacted by another reporter who then told me about the allegations made by local residents. When I was asked for a statement, I explained to her that there were 20 cars in the bathtub push, and since I was in front of the mile line, I couldn't see everything. I then made the statement, "Without further investigation into the allegations, I can only say that I have no prior knowledge to any alcohol consumption or of the members urinating in local yards." It is sometimes funny how certain words can be left out of a quote to make it sound like something completely different, isn't it? Concerning the allegations made by local resident Lila Pledger, they are being looked into by the fraternity. After reading the article, I contacted Mrs.

Pledger myself and discovered not the only college students who some items The Vista failed to drink alcohol, or get involved in mention. Mrs. Pledger told me certain unfavorable incidents, but that The Vista came to her on two by The Vista reporting, you would different occasions to ask her about think they were the only ones. the event.

Gorrell and Leonard performed with UCO' s Jazz Ensemble #1 last summer on a two- week European tour, which ended with a concert at the North Sea Jazz Festival, the world's largest indoor jazz festival. "My first thought upon learning about the job was that I would finally be able to pay all my bills," said Leonard. "I learned of the job through Dr. Kidwell (chairman of the UCO music department). Dr. Kidwell' s brother was put in charge of finding some of the band members.

This was a case that if I hadn't known the right people, I wouldn't have known where to send my resume and audition," said Gorrell. "I wanted to play the saxophone, but the sax section had already been filled, so I spent two weeks without sleep putting together a demo tape on the piano," said Gorrell. "I am honored to be a part of an organization that nearly everyone in the world has heard of at some time," said Leonard. "Brian wanted to be roommates, but my wife (Katie) wasn't too happy about that," said Leonard. Leonard has been married for almost three years and says that

while his wife is happy, she is also sad about leaving Oklahoma and her parents. "I want to dispel the misconception about our show, it is going to have a lot of variety. We may play Stevie Wonder between some of the older songs," said Gorrell. "If everything works out we may be shown on national television in 1995," he said. "The first two months of the show are already sold out," said Gorrell. "I hope that this will bring recognition to the musicians of Oklahoma and the music program at UCO," said Gorrell.

Stevens had four key areas. He would like to bring a major entertainer or artist to the campus. Most people do not know where the student activity fee goes toward; therefore this money would help pay for this entertainer, he said. Stevens made a comment about the scheduling difficulties of the weight room because of athletes or classes that are using the facilities. He proposes the idea of building a new weight room so that anyone can use the facility and would not have a problem of athletes or classes using it. He made the point of teacher evaluations and how they should be available to the students when it is time to enroll for classes. He said the home economics department offers this, and he feels that all departments should do this, so that the students could see how and what other students thought of the instructor. His last point was to have a focus on SGA. Most people do not know about the association and have questions and ideas and suggestions. He proposed choosing people randomly from each college and have them give a problem and

have them come up with a solution. "A lot of times students have better ideas than your leaders do," he said. Stevens said that this would get students involved, and they would know who SGA was because the students are the main constituents of this campus. Harris commented on the university expanding, and that it is going to be better equipped to compete with the large universities such as the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. He said this would help the enrollment and the university, as well as helping SGA. "That means that SGA can really make a difference," he said. "The good leadership on the SGA will create a stronger voice for student government," he said. His first goal is to recruit new quality people into senate. He said that there needs to be people who will stand up and voice it strong for the organization they are representing. He wants a representative from each organization to be in senate who will voice their opinion. He said participation needs to be increased in the senate by going out and talking to the people.

X-rays show portraits painted over AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) — Two newly discovered Van Goghs may be portraits of his ex-lovers, since the Dutch Impressionist was as unlucky with women as he was at selling his paintings. The Van Gogh Museum announced Wednesday it had Xrayed about 130 early canvasses and found 19 works that had been painted over including portraits of two women. "It could be that these are lovers who spurned him," museum spokeswoman Rianne Norbart said "Sometimes people don't want a photo of a lover who's not in the picture anymore so they throw it away. Van Gogh's way was to paint over it." The X-rays were done because several of the early works showed signs of having other compositions underneath. The Impressionist misfit — who sold only one painting during his lifetime — was known for his ruthlessness with works he didn't like. And with little money for new materials, he often painted over or cut up old paintings to make space for new projects.

Priest pleads guilty to buying coke BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest pleaded guilty to buying cocaine but denied through his lawyer that he paid for the drugs with church money. Monsignor Stanley Ropelski, 62, of Lackawana is to be sentenced on July 13. Prosecutors agreed to recommend probation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Guerra said Wednesday that Ropelski used an intermediary to buy hundreds of dollars of cocaine at a time sharing the drugs with young men he befriended. "That money comes in in buckets. There's no way to trace that," Dillon said. Ropelski resigned from St. Michael the Archangel Church in suburban Buffalo in August.

Wal-Mart strikes nerve in Canada MONTREAL (AP) — Wal-Mart, the huge U.S. retailing chain opening its first stores in Quebec, has stubbed its toe on French-Canadian sensibilities and aroused the ire of unions and business. Its biggest faux pas: putting out an advertising flier last month in English only. There's nothing like a linguistic snub to get the back up on a few million French-speaking Quebecois. The company, with $67.3 billion in sales last year bought 122 Woolco stores from Woolworth Canada in January in a first foray north of the border. The purchase price was undisclosed. Twenty of the Wal-Mart stores are to be opened in this province of 69 million. Wal-Mart tried to recover quickly from the English-only stumble by issuing a statement in French from its headquarters in Arkansas.

Grandma to serve prison sentence HOUSTON (AP) -- An 82-year-old woman who authorities say ran a "major league" drug operation was sentenced to two years in prison. Sally Evans Hubbard, a great-grandmother known as "Big Mama," leaned on her walker Wednesday as she pleaded guilty to drug possession and delivery. Ms. Hubbard, who has diabetes and high blood pressure, could have gotten 20 years. She was accused of selling marijuana and anti-anxiety tablets to an undercover officer in July. A search of her home turned up 30 pounds of marijuana and more than 2,000 painkiller, anti-depressant and muscle relaxant pills. Ms. Hubbard, who has more than 70 grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, operated a "major league candy store when it comes to drugs," prosecutor Bill Hawkins said.

Terrils 2 L_Aii cents Ideas about virginity need cleaning up I was reading one of the advice columns the other day where a guy was asking for counsel. He was a virgin and wanted to marry a woman who was also a virgin . His problem was, he said he couldn't find any, virgins that is, and he wanted to know if he should "lower" his standards to marry someone who was not a virgin. B ut it was the answer that really irked me; or, more specifically, a word in the answer. The word the columnist used to describe virginity was pure. Pure. As in clean, fresh, unsullied, pristine, unspoiled, spotless, free from dirt, free from stain, free from pollution. These are words that are routinely used to describe virgin. I have always found this to be a curious way to describe something that everybody is uncontrollably born with. These words describe something that is the converse of nonvirginal which is considered dirty, stained, spoiled, polluted, filthy, defiled and, well, you know the rest. This all reminded me of an article I read in amagazine a couple of years ago entitled, "Virgins with Attitude," all about the modern virgin. In the article, many of the same adjectives were used to describe virgin-hood and non-virgin-hood. In the article, the neo-virgins

Agra 19, 1994

described the various forms of sexual fantasy, heavy petting and oral sex they engaged in to ward off temptation and keep themselves pure and virginal. They assured the interviewer that, to them, sex was not a villain, but that they wanted to be pure when they married and not all defiled when that day came. And then it occurred to me that every maiden out there was just a bicycle accident away from deflowerment. What is the purpose of all this strange language to describe two very natural states of nature? Such language reveals something interesting about our culture and about the way women in particular are viewed in it. It goes back to the (bad old) days when women were a man's property and therefore needed to

be pure in order to produce property in the form of children. Although men and boys can technically be virgins, in that thc) may never have had coitus, they are never physical virgins in the way women and girls are, because a female has a physical barrier that causes her virgin status. Purity (ergo virginity) is a state of mind. I find it hard to believe that God considers everyone just one push away from being either clean or dirty. Virgins are not pure, they simply have not yet had sex. How can you claim a certain kind of morality for something you didn't do ? We need to stop using virginity as some standard for what purity is because something as powerful and easily misused as sex is in more need of something closer to ethics and responsibility.

RAPE Continued from front page

In 1989, in response to a legislative mandate, Kishur was hired to develop a sexual offender rehabilitation program for the Department of Corrections. Kishur said that the variation in sentencing rapists is incredible. "I bumped into a kid that just turned 16 in prison, so he was 15 when he was convicted, and he was doing 90 years, first offense," he said. "I've bumped into people on the third conviction doing 15 years." The program that Kishur developed is aimed at behavioral habilitation. "The starting point is to get them to take responsibility for their behavior," he said. "If they can't take responsibility for their behavior, then there is no treatment." "Once they're to the point of responsibility then the interventions are a very simple task." "Most rapists will not get to that point of saying, 'Yes I did it, I did it because I wanted to, I did it because I enjoyed it, I did it because I wanted to be in control and I wanted power." Kishur said that a lot of group programs can be a distortion of treatment because they become a multi-problems group where offenders sit down and complain about the judge who persecuted them by giving them a long sentence or the DA or the police officer who was mean to them. "I think treatment works exceptionally well, but it's got to be done right," he said. "These are people (sex offenders) who don't have appropriate boundaries, the idea of 'I want that and if you just get out of my way so I can take that, then you

79%-Not arrested

16%-Described & arrested later

- 68%-Named & arrested later

Rape Suspects

-16%-Arrested at scene

Arrested Suspects won't get hurt,' that's a boundary problem, that's the way they think." "Group therapy helps them begin to interact a little bit differently and understand that other people are human beings; secondly, I don't know if there are therapists who are good enough or smart enough or intuitive enough to know when this guy's being honest or when he isn't, but 12 other rapists in the room know whether he's being honest or not." Kishur said he has seen success in the behavior of offenders who have completed the program. Emotional abuse: A common factor in offenders.

Kishur said that emotional abuse is more common in sexual offenders than physical or sexual abuse. "There is a pretty consistent identification as young children

that they are neither valuable, nor wanted, nor appreciated. Most of that for the rapists came from women and rather than an indictment of women, I think that it's because they had no relationship with their father," he said. "It's that sense of inadequacy being compounded somewhere around puberty with some sexual experience that offered them an outlet for those frustrated or bad feelings that they had." Kishur said that when a rapist cannot recognize someone else as being human it becomes easier for them to assault that person. "The sexual part of the assault for a great many rapists is about pleasurable feelings, being in control, being powerful, being sexual, and they don't see it as a big deal." "Something tells them sex is a way to feel good when you feel bad, and away they go." Kishur said that although prison

is an effective way to protect the community from the rapist, he doesn' t feel that prison is a deterrent because, in a rapist's mind, rape is not a crime. "Prison tends to reinforce the characteristics that are necessary to be a rapist," he said. "Anger, male-dominated hierarchy, strong preying on the weak, dehumanization and resistance to authority, so all it does is essentially make him worse, plus it adds an extra measure of anger." Some programs use aversion therapy. A sexual offender's genitals are wired for response, then the rapist watches videos of women being beaten. If genital arousal is registered, ammonia is shot up their nose. Kishur said he primarily uses imagery aversion rather than an external stimulus like ammonia or electrical shock. "It's not about the sexuality of it as much as the distortion of reality," he said. "You don't want to just fix the symptom or reduce the symptom, long term, something else has to happen." Kishur said that for the most part, many sexual offenders don't want to be rehabilitated. "People generally enter the program thinking they could con their way through it, then they could get out of prison, neither of which happened," he said. "Then somewhere 2-3 years into treatment they would say something spontaneous like, 'well I just figured out what you were saying two years ago. — Kishur said that people who stay in the program for 3-4 years do so because they want the treatment for themselves and want to live

their lives differently. Kishur said he left the program with the Department of Corrections because he felt they wouldn't allow him to do treatment properly. "Part 'of what happened was, I think, that if treatment is done well, it creates an uproar," he said. "Prisoners don't like it because it's intrusive, it makes them unhappy, they feel put upon; they'll go find somebody and say, 'gee, he's being mean to me,' the bureaucracy tends to respond to people who are unhappy." Kishur said he believes that he was undermined by the administrative bureaucracy. "I was told to be nicer to them, told not to create so much of an uproar, and so what happened was pieces of the program were removed in order to make the administration happy and the bureaucrats happy," he said. Kishur said that the program became so watered down that he felt like he definitely did not want his name associated with it anymore and went into private practice. "This sort of watered down version does not work," said Kishur. "What concerns me is that it needs to be done effectively if it is done at all, or we just need to say 'forget It' s unfortunate, I think we have one of the leading programs in the country here and it's essentially been taken apart in the last couple of years." "

Next week, the healing of the victim begins.

By Scott Moore Sports Writer It came down to a 2-2 pitch with two out in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded when Oklahoma City center fielder Allen Thompson sent the ball over the wall for a grand slam to push the Chiefs past Central Oklahoma in a wild 19-17 slug-fest Tuesday at OCU. "It was a great game for spectators," said UCO Head Coach Wendell Simmons. "When the wind is blowing 40 miles per hour and you have two good offensive teams matched up with each other, you're going to have a lot of runs scored." OCU scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to turn a 17-14 deficit in to a two-run victory. The Chiefs scored one run with two outs to cut the lead to 17-16 before loading the bases for Thompson's homer. "They're the best team we've played all year," said Simmons. "They're probably better than anyone we'll play in our conference." The 24th-ranked Bronchos fall to 25-9 on the year. Oklahoma City raises its record to 27-15 and is ranked 11th in NAIA. The Chiefs had lost to NCAA Division I power Wichita State 86 the night prior to beating UCO. "It's hard to play someone that good," said Simmons. "But we need to play a game in the middle of the week td keep our rhythm going. You can't take the week off and expect to play well against the conference opponents on the weekends." Junior Chad Tredway picked up his first loss of the year for the Bronchos, dropping his record to 3-1. Tredway pitched the last 1/3 of the game as the Bronchos used up five pitchers total. Offensively, the Bronchos outhit OCU 21-20 and nailed six homeruns to OCU' s three. Junior outfielder David Flick broke UCO's single-season homerun record of eleven by hitting his 12th round-tripper of the year. The Bronchos hit the road to play Oral Roberts University in a single contest at 7 p.m. Friday and will then return home Saturday for a doubleheader with Cameron University beginning at 1 p.m.

Legere signs as new assistant vice president of enrollment Paul Eddy Student Writer Jerry Legere is moving, moving from home to home and career to career. Now, Legere is the newly appointed assistant vice president for enrollment management at the University of Central Oklahoma. Legere was formerly the registrar at Northern Kentucky University and lived at Highland Heights, Ky., where he served on the city council. Over spring break, Legere returned home to resign his seat on the council. Legere began his career in 1972 at the University of Kentucky, where he earned his bachelor's degree in political science and his master's degree in education. Legere left the University of Kentucky in 1980 and went to work for the Systems and Computer Technology Corporation. "The most valuable lesson I learned from working in the private sector was that of building a business plan," said Legere. Legere left the company in 1985 to become registrar at Northern Kentucky University.

Broadcast Education Association elects professor as chairman Paul Eddy Student Writer Dr. Jack Deskin, professor of oral communications at the University of Central Oklahoma, was elected as the chairman of the Student Media Advisors Division of the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) for the 1994-95 session. The Student Media Advisors

Division has 125 members from around the country and is the newest division of the BEA. Its purpose is to help the faculty advisors of college broadcasting deal with the unique problems with which they may have, said Deskin. Deskin helped to create the division. "There was no organization that addressed these unique problems that advisors face," said Deskin. The main objective right now is

to define some of the problems that the advisors face, he said. At the next convention we will have a session on the advisor's role with sexual harassment, said Deskin. Deskin has been teaching since 1973. "My overall goal is to provide first-rate lab facilities for students to practice what they are taught in the classroom," said Deskin.

Jerry Legere

"As registrar at Northern Kentucky, I was able to implement programs which centered around one central theme: improved service for students," said Legere. "I sent only one application out in 1993 and that was to UCO, I had never seen an ad where the registrar was so connected to the enrollment as it was at UCO," said Legere. UCO and NKU are very similar in many ways such as the large commuter population, relatively low campus population and the older age of the average student, said Legere. "The main difference that I've seen between Oklahoma and Kentucky is the weather," said Legere.

First Mr. UCO contest held; Armstrong wins competition Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer The first Mr. University of Central Oklahoma contest held Thursday night in the University Center Ballroom selected Greg Armstrong as Mr. UCO, who will receive a $300 book scholarship at the University Center Bookstore. The seven contestants who entered the contest were j udged based on a talent competition, a sportswear and formal competition in which they were asked an on-stage question. "I feel like it went well, it was

good competition," Armstrong, a senior, said. The men who entered the contest were Joacquin Stevens, Phuoc Pham, Jacob Jeffrey, Greg Armstrong, Kelly Collyar, Victor Armstrong and Colin Martin. The second runner-up selected was Colin Martin, the first runnerup was Joacquin Stevens. The award for congeniality was given to Joacquin Stevens, and the People's Choice Award went to Greg Armstrong. The guest entertainers for the evening were Shawna Armstrong, Stacy Weber and Lomita Woods, the current Miss UCO, who was also the co-master of ceremonies

for the evening. Missy Hunter, the other co-master of ceremonies, said, "I'm really impressed with how professional the contestants were throughout the contest." "All of the contestants did a great job, this took a lot of courage," Hunter said. Hunter said that they are looking into the possibility of having a Mr. Oklahoma contest for the winner of Mr. UCO to be able to continue to compete. Colin Martin, second runnerup, said that he had a ball, and the possibility of a Mr. Oklahoma pageant would be worthwhile.

Oklahoma receives 1 of 3 cabins accessible to disabled people Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer One of the only three cabins in the nation that is accessible to people with disabilities is being constructed by the Oklahoma Telephone Pioneers at Greenleaf State Park near Muskogee. The Oklahoma Telephone Pioneers Association (OTPA) is an organization that consists of volunteer active and retired employees of Southwestern Bell and AT&T, said Willie Shales, OTPA

administrator. The cabin, valued at $75,000, will be handicap accessible in many ways such as showers, cabinets and fireplaces. Trails and a picnic area will also be near the cabin, Shales said. The Oklahoma Telephone Pioneers will raise the money by having bake sales and raffles, Shales said. A fishing dock is also being constructed so that guests at the cabin can fish. A ramp will allow the disabled to get into a boat, Shales said.

Wisconsin was the first state to build a cabin of this type, and after the first week of its opening, it was booked for a year, Shales said. The cost of the cabin is $50 per night, and the profits will go to other state parks around the state to be able to build more handicap accessible cabins, Shales said. The cabin will be the 15th cabin at the park, which also has a 900acre lake, campgrounds, a swimming beach and pool and a 16mile Greenleaf Trail. For reservations call 1 -800-6548240.
