Streets need cleaning up, better planning

T

he theme for the University of Central Oklahoma's 1993 homecoming is "UCO — it keeps growing and growing...The university does keep growing, and so does the city of Edmond.

Unfortunately, Edmond' s street department has not kept pace.

At certain key times of the day, most notably early morning, noontime and afternoon "drive time," Edmond streets are choked with traffic, and accidents — albeit mostly "fender benders" — are frequent.

A certain degree of planning could be used. In fact, a certain amount of advice from every day commuters would probably clear up a lot of confusion on what should be fixed.

For instance, large and heavily traveled streets should all have turn lanes. Danforth is a good example.

A couple of weeks ago, a UCO student was attempting to turn into the Food Lion parking lot. Having no turn lane to use, she remained in the left hand lane. Facing her in their left hand lane were other cars trying to turn into the opposite parking lot. As soon as the student saw it was clear, she eased out. Unfortunately, a car switched lanes suddenly, racing into the lane she was crossing. She slammed on her brakes and her car was hit from behind.

A turn lane would have helped.

The intersection of Ayers and Boulevard is another nightmare for drivers, especially during busy times. A four-way stop may work for less traveled intersections, but not this one. A stoplight would work better. How many cars have banged into each other because they were unsure of who goes first.

Potholes aFe another street trap. Drive down any street in Edmond and a pothole will be found. Of course, cars always seem to hit them.

A little more consideration and attention needs to be given to the streets in Edmond. Next time the city plans to fix the streets, maybe they should ask the people who have to drive on them.

Editor's Note The Vista would like to thank the Communications/Publications Office for the help it provided on the front page graphic.

Reader says pure comes from God n the April 19 issue of The Vista, Terri (of "Terri's 2 Cents") was upset over the use of the word "pure" to describe virgins. She claims that it comes from the "bad old days when women were a man's property."

How thoroughly incorrect.

It comes from the word of God (which, however, does not call a woman a man's property, but his blessing who he should love as much as Christ loved us— enough to die for her. Ephesians 5:25).

Terri, all too often you mention the Lord in your articles when it is

i

extremely obvious that you haven't taken your article matters up with him. You see, virginity is not jag "something we are uncontrollably born with," it's a blessing. We're given many other blessings, too; many of them uncontrollably, also.

The fact is this: Everything on Earth — including blessings — has a purpose for use. When you misuse them, it's called sin, defilement, impurity, etc. A person can dislike those words all they want, but they are still the words of God. Get used to it, because God's word will never pass away.

By the way, nobody is "a bicycle accident away from deflowerment." Deflowerment is a choice. Take responsibility for your actions now and go through life under God's blessing. Ask the Lord for guidance and help in understanding.

Don't just sit there and grovel about things being accidents! They are opportunities to make a decision to serve, bless and glorify your Lord.

am writing this letter in response to the editorial, article and cartoon that appeared in The Vista April 14 concerning the Kappa Sigma bathtub push for the Edmond Hope Center.

When we asked The Vista to cover this event, we were looking to bring attention to the Edmond Hope Center and the many services that it provides for the Edmond community. This is an event that has been a project of ours annually for five years now that we and the Hope Center look forward to every year. By getting together radio and TV coverage, a long procession of cars with a bathtub in the lead, we hope that people notice the event and remember the Edmond Hope Center in the future. We were not aware, however, that the whole event (and the Hope Center itself) would be eclipsed by a few trivial

incidents. The editorial made references like, "...under the guise of a fund-raiser" and other statements that sought to discredit Kappa Sigma and the Greek system as a whole, and also cast a bad light on the Edmond Hope Center.

The Edmond Hope Center provides services to the needy in the Edmond area. As college students, we are pretty insulated from that side of Edmond, and it is easy to take for granted the relative ease in which we live our lives. Although I knew the Hope Center provided things like food and clothing, I really didn't know what else they did until I had first-hand knowledge from a friend of mine.

This friend of mine was married, and he was working on his degree at UCO when his wife had become pregnant. They were just starting out and didn't have much money and didn't know what to do. The Edmond Hope Center helped to

make sure that their child arrived healthy by helping the mother obtain regular prenatal health care.

This may not sound like much, but in a time when abortions are so common, it is exciting to see parents meeting their responsibilities and an organization like the Hope Center that will go out of its way to make their dreams come true.

This should have been the real story reported last week, but I'm sorry to say that it was swept under the rug (or at least off the front page) in favor of a more attentiongrabbing headline. After all, who really cares about civic responsibility anymore?

Just as services are rendered to the community year round, the Hope Center accepts donations year round. Their number is 3481340.

Special Olympics volunteers sought for reunion Stan Wagnon Student Writer

Oklahoma Special Olympics (050) officials are looking for athletes, coaches and volunteers who were involved with the first OSO State Games in 1969 as part of the organization's 25th anniversary.

The OSO wants to recognize these participants during this year' s Opening Ceremonies of the Silver Anniversary State Games on May 11-13 in Stillwater, according to Bonnie Williams, OSO associate director.

"We are trying desperately to find those who participated in the first State Games in 1969 because this event has grown so rapidly

since then," said Williams. "We feel that their courage to start the program is a major reason for the recent growth."

In 1969, the State Games were held at Skelly Stadium in Tulsa, with approximately 200 athletes competing.

The event moved to the University of Central Oklahoma, before eventually outgrowing UCO

and moving to Oklahoma State University in 1985. Currently, about 4,000 athletes along with 1,800 coaches and 6,000 volunteers are participating in the State Games, Williams said.

A total of nearly 1,000 people helped make the first State Games a success, according to Williams.

Despite the large number, Williams hopes the OSO will hear

"The school sends a proposal to the agency, and the agency selects the one that is best prepared. The better the proposal is written, the better the chances of receiving funding," Avellano said.

The grants are used to fund special projects or programs for laboratory and other research expenses, salaries (which often are paid to college students) for required travel, materials, supplies and other expenses.

The funding covers certain periods of time, such as a year, and when that period expires, the programs must submit to the usual bureaucracy of verifying expenditures and outcome of the program(s), Avellano said.

If continued funding is desired, the institution must justify additional funding through a new reouisition.

Workers to extract asbestos before building laborato ry

By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer The absence of ceiling tiles in the hallways of Howell Hall Science Building at the University of Central Oklahoma has opened a view of the pipes, wires, conduits and other mechanical systems as workers prepare to remove asbestos in the ceiling.

As part of the Capitol Improvements Plan, UCO will build a 60,000 square foot laboratory wing on the south side of Howell Hall.

But, before construction of the new wing can begin, asbestos must be removed from the construction areas, said Don Powers, director of the UCOPhysical Plant.

"The missing tiles are in preparation for asbestos abatement," said Powers.

"There won't be any classes conducted in any areas where we (asbestos removers) will be work-

ing," said Powers.

Areas where "gross removal" of asbestos is scheduled will be sealed off from the environment with special plastic, and the area will be contained with negative pressure, pressure that is less than the outside barometric pressure so that a slight vacuum is created, said Powers.

"You (students and staff) will not be able to get in there to do anything," said Powers.

Asbestos abatement will begin in Howell Hall at the end of the spring semester, said Powers.

"Construction of the new lab wing will begin when the abatement is completed," said Powers.

As a precautionary measure, the air will be monitored before, during and after the completion of the project to ensure the safety of persons working around the asbestos, said Powers.

Upon completion of the new wing, classes and staff offices will

be moved from Howell Hall into the new wing. Howell Hall will then be renovated and the remaining asbestos will be removed, said Powers.

The university has three hazardous materials specialists on campus who will be responsible for maintaining the safety of persons involved in the project, said Powers.

"They are highly qualified experts who have done this type of work for the about 10 years," said Powers.

The asbestos removal required for the construction of the new lab wing will take around two months.

The entire project including the asbestos removal, construction of the new wing and renovation of Howell Hall is projected for completion in the spring of 1997 at an estimated total cost of $5 million, said Powers.

"I guess they (administration) are waiting for someone to contribute a significant amount of money to the project fund, then they'll put a name on it," he said.

"I think the Capitol Improvements Program is probably the greatest thing to hit the university in a long time," said Powers. "It's not going to be vary comfortable for people during the next two to four years around here. We have a great campus now, but when we get finished we'll have a super campus."

Members of French Club participate in charity walk for MS Paul Eddy Student Writer

On April 9, six members of

the University of Central Oklahoma's French Club took part in the 1994 Walk for Multiple Sclerosis. For one of them, it had a special significance.

"I was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and when I heard about the walk, I proposed it to the French Club," said Linda Winn, French Club member.

Winn and five others walked 9.3 miles on a cloudy Saturday

afternoon, collecting $450 from pledges.

The walk is held in more than 400 cities nationwide, said Winn.

There were more than 560 walkers in the Oklahoma City walk, and together their pledges totaled more than $45,000.

The funds generated by the walk are used to further the cure, prevention and treatment of multiple sclerosis.

The other walkers from the French Club were Leslie Bailey, Nicole Hill, Suzanne LeMasters, Elaine Paparonis and Monica Treece.

Man gains custody of rich toddler ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) — A cousin won custody of a 2-yearold orphan who was the sole survivor of a boat explosion that could make him a millionaire.

Three other couples had sought custody of Charles Hoffman II, called "Baby Chuckie" during the dispute. The 1993 explosion killed his parents, Charles Hoffman and Marla Moss Hoffman, his maternal grandparents and his uncle.

Domestic Relations Judge David Basinski gave custody Monday to Patrice McMonigle of Golden, Colo. The decision, which came after 15 days of hearings, probably will be appealed.

The Hoffmans had no will. Their estate was valued at about $25,000, but lawyers say a wrongful death lawsuit might someday make Chuckie worth about $10 million.

Investigators believe gasoline fumes ignited, destroying the Hoffmans' 33-foot cabin cruiser while it was docked on the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland. Chuckie was rescued from the burning boat.

Lawyers for Mrs. Hoffman's estate in January sued the boat maker, Chris-Craft Corp., and the maker of the on-board generator, Onan Corp. The case is pending.

Israeli soldiers arrest 500 activists JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli soldiers and undercover agents arrested up to 500 Islamic activists linked to the armed organizations that have carried out a series of suicide attacks that killed 13 Israelis, the army reported Tuesday.

Scores of senior leaders and younger activists were rounded up overnight throughout the Israeli-occupied territories, more than 200 from the Gaza Strip and more than 200 from the West Bank, the army spokesman said.

The army said those arrested were from every level of the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, its armed underground units called the Izzedine Al-Qassam brigades, and the Islamic Jihad organization.

The groups, opposed to the Israel-PLO autonomy plan, claimed responsibility for bombing and shooting attacks against public buses and bus stops this month that have left 13 Israelis dead and 77 wounded.

Prof pleads guilty to molestation SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) -- A former professor and his girlfriend, who were arrested after snapshots of them fondling a 4-year-old girl were found on the street, pleaded guilty to molesting the youngster.

Ronald Ruskjer, 44, and Evelyn Bacilio, 33, pleaded guilty Monday to sexual abuse of a child and photographing a child for sexual purposes.

The photos were found Oct. 1 in Los Angeles. They had been thrown out the window of Ruskjer's car after it was stolen, police said.

Ruskjer was a professor of public health at Loma Linda University from 1988 to 1991. Bacilio was a secretary for the girl's mother and occasionally baby-sat the child.

Teacher of Year helps homeless WASHINGTON (AP) — Teacher Sandra McBrayer's students live on San Diego's streets, some of them abandoned, others abused. She offers them food, clothing and an education.

But most of all, she offers them love.

"My life had no meaning until Sandy taught me that I am important and I am lovable," said former student Christina Knapp.

For her work educating — and caring for — homeless children in San Diego, McBrayer has been named the 1994 Teacher of the Year.

McBrayer, 33, founded the Homeless Outreach School for homeless and unattended youth six years ago. Some 300 to 400 children ages 12 to 19 attend the school each year.

ust about everybody's heard that it means bad luck if a black cat crosses your path, but how many people know that it's also bad luck for a black cat if you cross its path?

This comes up 'cause Bubba Sue and me are cruisin' past some farm houses on 285 when this big fat black tom decides to make a dash for the other side of the road.

He sees me at the last second and darts uproad `til I go by, then tries to make it across, again.

Apparently he doesn't see the '94 Mercury Cougar tailgating me.

They say cats have nine lives, and I guess this was his ninth, 'cause the Cougar squashes him.

For a minute I think it must be the Cougar's ninth life, too. It swerves from one shoulder of the road to the other, and almost ends up in a tree before the driver regains control of the car.

Anyway, I say something about the "bad luck" thing with cats to Bubba Sue, and that starts her talkin' about all these superstitions she's heard of.

Like, it's bad luck to put your left sock on before the right one, and the devil will get you if you don't cover your mouth when you hiccup, and

never ever feed them after midnight .. .

I think this last one comes from a movie, but Bubba Sue just says no, and giggles.

The whole thing gets me thinking about superstitions in general, and why we have them.

I mean, some probably had a practical value, at one time. Others probably evolved from some coincidence, or another.

And some were probably created by religious and political leaders just to keep the masses in line —I mean, it is bad luck to exceed the posted speed limit if there's a trooper anywhere nearby.

I glance at my speedometer and ease the Mere down to 70. The '94 Cougar roars past me and disappears ahead.

Bubba Sue asks me whatt my superstitions are, and I say, "I never felt the need for any, knock on wood."

She crushes her empty Busch can, throws it at me and mumbles something under her breath while she "heads for the mountains" on a fresh one.

That's when I see the trooper, light bars flashin' , parked on the side of the road behind the Cougar.

Existence of God debate set for Friday Sheila Nunnelee

Student Writer The question of whether or not there is a God will be debated by Dr. Gordon Stein and Dr. Doug Miller at 7 p.m. Friday in the Oklahoma Room in the University Center.

Dr. Gordon Stein, editor of the American Rationalist, will argue against the claim that God exists.

He has published 200 articles and book reviews. He has also published many books on the subject of atheism, said Dr. Eva Dadlez, doctor of philosophy at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Dr. Doug Miller, a professor of philosophy at Rose State College, will be arguing for the claim that there is a God. Miller specializes

in ethics, and he wrote his dissertation in opposition to ethical relativism, Dadlez said.

The debate is sponsored by the department of humanities and philosophy and is supported by the Symposium of Philosophy, which is the Philosophy Club, Dadlez said.

"This is a fascinating topic, and it will be interesting to hear when both points of view are argued by people who do this well," Dadlez said, "This will be an intellectually rigorous debate."

The debate's moderator will be Dr. Joseph Bessie, a professor of philosophy at UCO. The audience will be able to write their questions down and give them to the debaters to save time, so that more questions can be answered, Dadlez said.

BACK ON THE WINNING TRACK Bronchos respond to 3-game losing skid by winning 5-straight games

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer A losing streak, even if it's just three games, is unfamiliar territory for the Central Oklahoma baseball squad.

So after the Broncho' s 19-17 heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma City University April 13, UCO responded by winning five straight, taking four games from West Texas A&M over the weekend before dumping Oklahoma City on Monday.

The Bronchos downed West Texas 19-2 and 3-1 in Friday's twin-bill before clobbering them again 12-0 and 10-0 in Saturday's two contests.

The Bronchos then defeated Oklahoma Christian 11-7 in Monday's single contest.

The 14th-ranked Bronchos raise their record to 30-9 on the year

Sports Writer The Central Oklahoma women's tennis team fmished third at the Lone Star Conference championships held at the University of Central OklahomaFriday and Saturday.

The Lady Bronchos collected 19 points to fall just behind Texas Woman's University, who finished second with 24.

Tournament favorite Abilene Christian University finished far ahead of the pack with 42 total points to win their 10th straight title.

Sophomore Joanie Schlunt led the Lady Bronchos by making it to the finals in the No. 2 singles before losing 6-1, 6-1 to Charlotte Burgess of Abilene Christian.

"I played hard, but I was impatient," said Schlunt. "I was always trying for winners instead of playing consistent with my opponent."

Jennifer Crowe picked up UCO's only other singles victory with a 6-0, 6-0 first round victory over Maryrose Murray of West Texas A&M University in the No. 4 singles slot.

UCO's No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 doubles team's advanced to the second round before falling to the eventual champions.

Powerful Abilene Christian won all six individual titles and two of three doubles titles.

The Lady Bronchos' scheduled match with Southern Nazarene in Oklahoma City today at 2 p.m. was cancelled. The NCAA Division II Championships at Pamona, Calif. will take place May 6-12.

The Bronchos will hit the road to face Oral Roberts University tomorrow in a 7 p.m. contest. The Bronchos will then return home to face Cameron Saturday in a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. at Broncho Stadium.

The Bronchos have picked up their first 30-win season since 1986. UCO has four 30-win seasons in its history and won a school-record 39 games in 1984.

Zac Robinson leads the Offensive charge with a batting average of .459. Junior Rodney Foster is second with an average of .424.

Foster has hit safely in 34 of the 38 games he's played this season and has 22 multi-hit games. Foster has taken sole possession of second place on UCO's single-season hits chart with 61 and needs just five more to break the school record.

and improve their conference record to 9-3. UCO's four victories over WTAMU put them in first place in the Lone Star just ahead of 8-4 Texas A&MKingsville who took three of four from the Bronchos earlier this month.

The Bronchos outscored West Texas A&M 44-3 in their foul game series and out hit the Buffaloes 54-6. West Texas committed a total of 14 errors, including six in Friday's first game In order, senior Kaleb Schroeder (6-3), junior Zac Robinson (1-0), freshman Greg Hall (6-1) and sophomore Chris Perkins (2-2) were the winning pitchers in the B roncho' s four wins against WTAMU. Senior Mark Berglan (1-1) picked up the win against Oklahoma Christian. The Bronchos used three different pitchers and allowed 13 hits. The Bronchos

Central Oklahoma returned to Nebraska again this past weekend to nab a third-place finish in the Nebraska-Kearney Classic.

The Lady Bronchos began the tournament with a win over Southern Colorado 2-0.

UCO claimed the victory with single runs in the third and seventh innings. The Lady Bronchos were powered by MI-American April Bradley who went 2-3 with one RBI while left fielder Sissy Laffoon clubbed her sixth double of the year.

The Lady Bronchos then defeated Regis 6-0.

For the second weekend in a row, UCO rolled past Regis with a power surge at the plate. The Lady Bronchos were led by catcher Misti Shipman who batted 1.000 for the game including a triple. Bradley and Rachelle Green went 2-4 for the game while driving in one each.

Central then fell to Morningside 2-3 for the second time in as many

meetings .

After scoring one in the first, UCO fell into a tie in the third at 1 1. Then in the fifth tied at 2-2 Morningside took the lead 3-2 and held the Lady Bronchos to clinch the win.

UCO bounced back to post a 10 victory over Wayne State.

The Lady Bronchos were led by a 2-3 performance by Shipman who claimed the game's only RBI. The Lady Bronchos then fell to Nebraska-Omaha 1-3.

The Lady Bronchos jumped out to a 1-0 lead but saw it slip away in the top of the fifth when UNO scored two.

Bradley led the team at the plate, hitting .500 for the tournament to

improve her team-leading average to .379 and her slugging percentage to .534. Also hitting .500 for the tournament was sophomore catcher Shipman who brought her average up to .274 while smacking her sixth extra-base hit.

UCO's Best Buddies hosts games, food in afternoon meeting

Stuntman teaches falls, fights to acting students

By Dayna Poarch

Staff Writer

By Janet Runge Staff Writer Sunday the Best Buddies chapter at the University of Central Oklahoma hosted an afternoon of games, food and fellowship on the lawn north of the University Center.

Best Buddies is a university sponsored student organization that began in 1987 by Anthony Kennedy Shriver at Georgetown University. Students from universities and colleges around the country are matched with persons from their communities who have mild to moderate mental retardation.

JunaEilers, director of the UCO chapter of Best Buddies, said their event was attended by students and their buddies from Tulsa University, Oral Roberts University and UCO. "It's great having a buddy," said Eilers. "It's a learning experience for both people."

The event included a hot dog cookout, volleyball, croquet and horseshoes.

Shelly Conrad, southern regional director for Best Buddies, was on hand for the event.

"I have eight states that I'm in

charge of, and this is my fifth week on the road," said Conrad.

Conrad visits each of the chapters in her region to see how their programs are working and to lend national support to the branch chapters.

Conrad said that Best Buddies is a good way for people in the community who have mental disabilities and aren't afforded the opportunity for social activities to develop leadership and social skills.

Eilers said most of their organization's student volunteers meet with their "buddies" 2-3 times a month on an individual basis.

Best Buddies has also hosted football game outings and a Christmas party for their members.

"We will be here next year, and our organization is open to anybody on campus who would like to volunteer," said Eilers.

Best Buddies has 185 chapters across the United States, one in Canada and eight in Greece.

Next year's director for UCO will be Kirsten Vogt.

For more information on Best Buddies call 340-6891.

And students think fighting is not allowed in school.

Banzai Vitale, a professional stunt coordinator, was hired by the University of Central Oklahoma theater department to show the actors in "Hamlet" how to fight and fall safely.

"Last year was the first time I really started working with theater," he said. "Everything is really on a professional level."

Vitale, whose wife is a UCO music education major, is also responsible for designing and blocking stunts in previous UCO productions, including

"The Balcony Scene," "Tales of Hoffman," "Can-Can," "Noises Off' and "Hair."

"This ("Hamlet") will be by far the most intense I have had to work on any production," he said.

The stunts Vitale blocked for

the production include a complex fight between Hamlet and Laertes and Hamlet' s fall from a tower, said Vitale.

It's hard to differentiate the hardest stunt in "Hamlet," because if the stunt is not done right, people can get hurt, he said.

Before the designing and blocking of stunts began, Vitale met with Dr. Roberta Sloan, director of "Hamlet." Vitale determined how many hours he needed to train the actors and block the stunts.

Vitale said he always stresses this to any director he works with—he has to have the amount of time he thinks is necessary to pull off a stunt safely.

"It can't be the same gag one way and set it up the same way for another show because the situation is always different," said Vitale.

The fight scene between Hamlet and Laertes took hours of preparation.

"For rehearsal, we spent about 12 hours training and blocking the fight, and then we spend about an hour before every rehearsal every day running it and cleaning it up," he said.

"What we're asking them to do is stuff probably they would never get asked to do in the professional world without getting paid a whole lot of money," said Vitale.

The students are receiving experience that will be beneficial once they enter the professional world because they will know how things work and won't put themselves in a position to get hurt, he said.

Vitale has already been hired by UCO as stunt coordinator for "The

Banzai Vitale Three Musketeers" in the fall.

This summer Vitale will be performing stunts as the mayor of Gotham City in the Six Flags Over Texas Batman Stunt Show.

Vitale, who has worked on more than 45 motion pictures and television shows, began his career as a stuntman by attending a stunt school in California where he eventually became an instructor.

One of the most difficult stunts Vitale has done was a 70foot back fall for "Eyewitness News." The world record at the time fora back fall was 100 feet.

Vitale said he loves his work, especially the rush he gets from working. He also likes fooling the people and making them wonder how the stunt was done.

"I guess it's being able to do something that nobody else can do."

Class teaches driving skills to handicapped students Jason Webb Student Writer A certain uneasiness fills the air as a dozen strangers file into a strange office in a strange building. The people have never met, nor will they probably ever meet again. Their only common bond is that they are all handicapped in one way or another, and they are going to learn to drive.

The University of Oklahoma South Central Safety Education Institute Handicapped Driver's Training class was offered this month and will end tomorrow at the UCO Safety Education Building to the 12 cliRabled people.

The class, which is offered four times a year ( once a semester and twice in the summer), has the objective to teach or re-teach people with disabilities how to drive a vehicle with the required, state approved equipment and has been doing so for about 20 years.

"You see, we •e had people actually drive here to take the class, using broomstick handles and canes to work the gas and break," said John McGivern, organizer for the Handicapped Driver's Training class.

Usually, people in wheelchairs use hand controls and a steering knob. A hand control is a metal contraption attached to the gas and break pedal and is extended up to the steering column. A driver pushes down to accelerate and forward to stop.

A steering knob allows the driver to control the steering wheel with one hand.

Not everyone enrolled in the class is in a wheelchair. The disabilities can range from learning disabilities to spinal problems.

Class sessions are from 1:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday.

The driving instructors are John McGivern, Stan Dowers, Mark Howard, Ryotaro Tillman and Lonnie "Doc" Gilliland Jr. Students drive twice, at 20minute intervals and then spend time in a classroom watching safety films and learning driving maneuvers, such as legal stopping points and parallel parking.

Once the instructor feels that the student is ready to test, he will schedule a testing day, and the student goes to the Department of Motor Vehicles to take the driving test.

Bob Hansen, UCO liaison to Vocational Rehabilitation, explained that the success rate of the class was very well.

"Approximately 85 percent get their license immediately. We don't know how many don't get their license immediately but get it later on, so the success rate is probably higher," said Hansen.

Once the student passes the test, he is free to go home and doesn't have to attend the class anymore.

Each student is unique, some pass their test in a week, and others require the entire four weeks.

The Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in charge of the training course, Bob Hansen, was unavailable for comments on the program.

For more information on the Driver's Training Program, contact Bob Hansen at 340-4017.

Student in disabled driver's class shares experiences Jason Webb Student Writer

The past three weeks have been exciting ones for me. I've been taking a driver's training class.

Now, I know the first thing that popped into your head, "Driver's training class, man, this guy must have gotten too many tickets or something." Well, just hold your horses, it's not like that at all.

Let me explain.

I'm in a wheelchair and have been all my life. My disability is Arthrogryposis, stiffening of the joints. It causes my left arm to be frozen straight, my right arm to t and my legs to be frozen bent.

The driver's training class is for the handicapped (Whoops!

Physically challenged). The instructors teach us how to drive with special equipment— hand controls, steering knob, pedal extensions, etc.

Last semester I had the opportunity to take the class. I spent about two days there and had to go home because they didn't have the necessary equipment; they were building it.

Finally, I was able to attend the class this semester and stay!

The first day of class was testing —peripheral vision, reflexes, eyesight and so forth.

On the second day, they put us on the streets. Cars went in all direction, some on city streets, some on the driving range and some on the college campus.

Since I have to drive from a van because of my disability, I had to learn from the van they

provided me. This was no ordinary van. This was the van directly from my nightmares— a full size, extended wheel base, blue Chevy van, and all I could think of was parallel parking in the beast!

Once I drove for a few days, my fears slowly dissipated. As my nerves calmed, my driving improved, save the occasional stupid mistakes I made, like running a red light and almost hitting a trash can.

After two weeks, I found myself in the waiting room of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

The closer it came to my turn, the faster my heart would pound. Just when I didn't think I could take the waiting any longer, the instructor called my name. Everything worked, and we were on the road.

Left turns, right turns, downhill and even parallel parking, it all went great! Then came the lane change.

The instructor asked me to make a right lane change, so I did...Or so I tried. I had about four or five cars pass me, one right after another.

About two blocks down from where I was asked to make my lane change, Ifmally succeeded.

I made the righ t lane change and drove back to the DMV. As I pulled into the parking lot, I turned to my instructor and asked the inevitable question, "How did I do?"

"You made a 94."

I made it!

Finally.
