Student trades places with president Meets with administrators, staff Budget proposals target lighter cuts OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) —State legislators started their budget-writing work with a draft proposal from legislative leaders that calls for lighter cuts for corrections and a few, select other agencies. The early draft before the budget subcommittees Monday laid out 10 percent cuts for most state agencies, in accord with Gov. David Walters' request for 9 percent budget cuts. But the preliminary proposals have higher education getting cut just 2 percent; corrections, mental health and the attorney general's office 2.5 percent; and courts and district attorney's offices 5 percent. The percentages are just "targets and what we're hoping to do," said Sen. Stratton Taylor, D-Claremore, and Senate Appropriations chairman.
Battering common, half of women say WASHINGTON (AP) -- One in three Americans have witnessed domestic violence, and 14 percent of the nation's women say they have been battered by men, according to a survey. The survey, released at a House hearing Monday, found that half of all women believe battering is not uncommon in relationships with men. One-third of Americans reported eyewitness knowledge of violence in the home. Esta Soler, executive director of the Family Violence Prevention Fund, said the survey showed more women are seriously injured by beatings than by car accidents, muggings and rape combined.
IBM posts losses NEW YORK (AP) — IBM said Tuesday it lost $285 million in the first quarter and revenue fell a sharp 7 percent, reflecting poor demand for core products in slumping world markets. International Business Machines Corp. said that revenues fell slightly in the United States and Asia while tumbling 13.8 percent in Europe. IBM derives nearly two-thirds of its revenue from overseas. The declines had been expected, See World Wrap, page 8

A trade and industrial education major from the University of Central Oklahoma, Jim Cash, was president of the university Monday, after winning the "President for a Day" contest sponsored by UCO's Home Economics Club. "I met with the vice presidents of the university and discussed issues that affect the school," said Cash. "It's a nice title and a nice office, but I never realized how much work is involved." "I think that students really need to talk with the administration to find out how it all works. They wouldn't believe the work these people have to do," he added. "I'm really impressed with UCO's staff," he said. Cash said President Nigh is a nice guy, and he's easy to work with. President Nigh will attend Cash's Jim Cash, winner of President for a Day, takes a seat behind the UCO classes sometime later in the semester. President George Nigh's desk. (Photo by Amy Johnson)
UCO hires firm to assess library needs By Roy Howe Staff Writer On the eve of offering revenue bonds to finance the university's Master Plan, a consultant firm to help assess the needs of the university's Max Chambers Library has been hired by the University of Central Oklahoma's design architects, HTB Inc. The consultants, Aaron Cohen and associates, were hired earlier this month to advise during the library's entire renovation and expansion. The library may pay the consultants up to $30,000, which will come from HTB's fee to the university, said library director Dr. John Lolley. "They will be here from start to finish," said Lolley. "We called the nations top five library consultants and the people that they had consulted for, and they (Cohen and associates) had the highest rating," Lolley said. According to the university's Master Plan, the current 103,000 square foot library will undergo a complete renovation with an 87,000 square-foot addition, all at a cost of $8.7 million. "They (Cohen and associates) are involved in the design of the building," said Stan Lewis, HTB architect. The consultant were on campus last month
to see the library and speak with students, faculty, library staff, college deans and administrators. "They (Cohen and associates) wanted to get a feel for the university," Lolley said. "They gathered data to put together what's called a 'needs assessment.' They told us to accept it or tear it up until they get it right," he said. Lolley said he wanted the new building and renovation completed for what he termed "20-20." "I told them to renovate this building to accommodate 20,000 students for 20 years," he said. Lolley's suggestions for the renovation of the current building and the addition to the library included that it be accessible to the physically challenged, that it be cornputer serviceable and that it serve the "in and out" commuter student. Lolley also said he would like to see the building designed with the possibility of staying open longer without having to employ additional staff. The four-floor addition with basement will be located on the south side of the library with an atrium placed between the two buildings, Lolley said. Construction is expected to begin this time next year.
Rotary Club offers scholarship By Terri King Student Writer Students from the University of Central Oklahoma may soon have an opportunity for world travel. A $20,000 scholarship is being offered by Rotary International in its "Academic Year Ambassadorial Scholarship" for the 1994-'95 school year. The scholarship will be awarded to one person and will fund the student for one year of overseas study in a foreign country of the student's choice. Applicants must be American citizens and a graduate or undergraduate student, said Jalal Daneshfar, campus and community activities coordinator for the UCO international office. The deadline for applications and all supporting documents is May 3. Daneshfar said such things as academic performance and major will be considered. How articulate and wellspoken the candidate is in a personal interview will be taken into consideration when selecting the winner of the scholarship. Knowledge of a foreign language is also helpful, Daneshfar said. Phil Arnold, president of the Rotary Club Edmond Central chapter and assistant vice president of administration, said Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is an organization of all Rotary clubs worldwide in 180 countries.

Mandatory pre-marital AIDS testing could help control spread of disease Out of a possible two million AIDS cases around the world, approximately 500,000 are children. Every year, more babies are being born with the virus that was passed on to them by their parents. What is even more frightening is the unknown number of people who carry the AIDS virus who don't know they do, passing it on to their lovers and spouses. And still, there are people who don't feel mandatory premarital YIN testing should be implemented. From 1935 to 1938, 29 states passed laws requiring premarital syphilis testing and prohibiting positive patients from marrying. The law was passed in an effort to control the epidemic of syphilis that plagued the country in the '30s. Kevin Blankenship/The Vista
Even with the discovery of penicillin as a cure, the law still stands. In fact, the law has become more effective because the disease can be treated. AIDS, on the other hand, has no cure. The proposed law by Senator Lewis Long will require pre-marital HIV testing, but does not prohibit HIV positive people from marrying. Whether or not the law would infringe on the rights of people is one argument against mandatory testing. Some would say testing is a direct assault against homosexuals. AIDS is not a homosexual disease. It does not discriminate. For couples who may unknowingly carry the virus, mandatory testing for the AIDS virus could save future lives, if not future problems. Knowing they have the virus may make them reconsider the possibility of children. Most people would agree that they would want to know if they have the disease. Some people may not want to know and continue passing the virus along. Mandatory testing for a marriage license would help in controlling the spread of AIDS. Marriage is the combining of two lives. The rights of one person stops when the safety and rights of another person begin.
'AIDS is a Treasure' speech disturbs family member/student
T
he Baptist Student Union's "AIDS Is a Treasure" devotional Thursday takes an odious stance against those who have and still live with AIDS. For the majority of those who have lost their lives, those who are now suffering and those of us who have lost family and friends to this Disease, AIDS has been no blessing as Mike Hawkins claims, nor have the attitudes and condemnation from the religious right which has resorted to guilt ascription and celebration of dis-
ease and death as a way of responding to a very real health crisis. Mr. Hawkins and the BSU apparently link homosexuality and AIDS as if it were a cause and effect relationship. The Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a biological phenomenon, not divine retribution for failure to follow Baptist Church teaching on sexual behavior. It is indeed regrettable that Mr.. Hawkins has concluded that God can not accept the way he is and
has sought to suppress something as natural as his sexuality in order to gain a feeling of love and acceptance from those who rejoice in the misery of the ill, but that is worse is the selfishness of one person with AIDS in making jubilation of a disease that has meant pain and loss for so many. The BSU is obviously hoping that the testimony of one misguided individual will cause others to acquiesce to their obdurate dogma. —

I
am an international student studying at the University of Central Oklahoma. I have been reading The Vista since I came here. I enjoy reading this newspaper, especially the article about computer viruses. I noticed that for the past few weeks, out microcomputers have been attacked by a computer virus called "Stoned." "Stoned" virus is the oldest virus around our campus. I catalogue computer viruses into two different types. The boot virus and the file virus. A boot virus is the most common virus. It is hidden at the boot sectors on any disk. These types of virus need a bootable disk, like a system disk, and hard drive, to be active. The "Stoned" virus is a boot virus. On the other hand, a file virus is hidden on one file which can be ex-
ecuted, like EXE and COM files. A very common file, "command.com," is likely to be attacked. Whether it is a boot virus or a file virus, its main intention is to destroy any data or programs on the disk. Although we can buy antivirus programs to stop and kill the virus, it is too expensive for students. So, I have some tips for those students who cannot afford the antivirus program: 1) Do not use any microcomputer which is on, because it may contain a virus. Turn it off for 5 seconds then boot up with a virus free desk; 2) Do not use any unknown disk; 3) Do not lend your boot up disk to a stranger; 4) Do not save all your important data into the hard drive. Do save it on two or more floppy disks and put them in two differ-
ent places; 5) Make backup daily and weekly for your hard drive; 6) Check your EXE and COM file sizes. If the file size is increased, it may contain a file virus. First switch off the computer and boot up with a virus-free disk; 7) If you find your computer boot up time is taking longer than in the past, it may contain a boot virus. First switch off the computer and boot up with a virus-free disk. Use file copy command to copy all the files from the injected disk to a new disk. Do not use DISKCOPY command. Then format the infected disk. I hope these tips will help you stop the virus infection.

Library installs new search system By Connie Price Student Writer
A system known as "keyword searching" has recently been inc._ stalled as an extra option available for researchers at the University of Central Oklahoma library. Keyword is now listed as an option on "Broncho," which is the computerized catalog listing of books available at UCO. Searches for books on Broncho are done by typing in either the author's name, title or subject. The computer then lists the holdings available atUCO. If a student is unsure about the order or spelling of words in the title, or does not have the author's name or does not know the precise subject heading to use, research might be limited. With the keyword option, a student can type in "k =" and insert a term or terms. The computer will then look for this term anywhere in the database record. Keyword searching enables a student to locate material that cannot be found through regular subject heading searches, said Melissa Cast, reference librarian at UCO. Regular subject heading searches can be limited because the subject typed into the Broncho computer terminal must be listed the same way as aLibrary of Congress heading in order for it to appear on the screen. With keyword, the computer will list everything available
at UCO on that particular subject. It does not have to be a Library of Congress subject heading. Keyword can be used for regular searches or complicated ones, said Cast. She has been explaining the keyword system to many students since it became operational in early April. "Itjustmalces things easier. You can get so many more titles than with just subject searching. Keyword makes it so much easier," said Cast. Jill Hudson, a UCO library science instructor, said she is excited about the installation of keyword. "I think keyword searching will add much to the research area. Researchers will be able to find things through keyword that they wouldn't be able to find otherwise. Many subject headings don't fit a researcher's topic specifically enough. But keyword searching can get much more thorough and specific. It gives the researcher many more sources of information," said Hudson. Keyword will also allow a researcher to limit or qualify a search in certain ways. For example, a researcher could find all materials available on his subject in French or Spanish. Installation of the keyword system was the responsibility of Maithreyi Manoharan, director of the UCO computer center. Manoharan said the system was purchased on software. Large amounts of disc space were needed
to accommodate the system at UCO. Installation involved indexing every word, leaving out stop words such as "a, an." Words were then separated into long or short categories, said Manoharan. When a count was last taken, the system had 22 million short words and 2 million long words, she said. In order to prepare for keyword, the computers at UCO were upgraded in December. The system is now very efficient, said Manoharan. Of the installation process, she said, "I had very few problems with it. I was very surprised. There were no major problems getting the system up." It will take time to acquaint UCO students with this new concept. A student can learn more about keyword by typing "exp k" on a Broncho computer terminal at the library. It gives a description of the system. Help is also available from UCO' s reference librarians. Charles Melson, an advertising major and part-time employee of the UCO library, said, "Keyword is one of the best things that's happened to the Broncho computers." Another student, Dalinda Cauble, a marketing major at UCO, had not yet used keyword, but she said, "It sounds very thorough, and it would probably save a lot of time. You could find things you couldn' tpreviously find by using the system."

UCO students win Drug Free powerlift By Bill Hamilton Staff Writer
Three students from the University of Central Oklahoma recently won the Oklahoma Drug Free Power lifting contest. Steve Rodenberg, Chad Brown and Charles Melson each won in their respected weight classes. Consisting of 11 weight classes, from 114 pounds to 275 plus, power lifting is a very competitive sport, Brown said. "Power lifting differs from weightlifting in that power lifting consists of three events and weightlifting consists of two," Rodenberg said, winner at 242 pounds. Power lifting consists of squatting, bench press and the dead lift. Weightlifting consists of the clean and jerk and the snatch, Rodenberg added.

UCO to offer Hindu philosophy for first time By Terri King Student Writer
Fast will once again meet West next fall when the University of Central Oklahoma offers a course in Hindu philosophy for the first time. Teaching the course will be Dr. Acharya Vedala, a Hindu scholar priest who sets up Hindu temples around the country; including one
near Coltrane and Wilshire in Edmond. "Hindu philosophy and religion cannot be separated. Philosophy and daily life are the same," Vedala said. Dr. Joseph Bessie, assistant professor of philosophy, confirms this philosophical distinction. "Western philosophy is very secularized," said Bessie, "In Western philosophy, every question is open for analysis and criticism and is rather more analogous
to science in many ways. By contrast, Hindu philosophy conceives of philosophical and theological questions as interconnected. Vedala said Hinduism is the world's oldest living religion and has no known founder but three main philosophers; Shri Sankara, Shri Ramanuja, and Madhya, have shaped its evolution. There are three main holy books in Hinduism that include the Bhagavad Gita that tells the story of the battle between good and
evil. The Upanashath teaches about soul knowledge and supreme soul (God) knowledge. And the Brahma Sutras relates Hinduism's philosophical rules, Vedala said. These books are written in Vedic that is old Sanskrit. Sanskrit is a "dead" or "academic" language and is used primarily in Hindu worship and is not in daily use or understood by the general population, Vedala said. Vedala said that the Hindu holy

Chinese handpainting part of Earth Da By Carol Cole
Student Writer
The natural images featured in Chinese hairbrush handpainting are being translated into T-shirt art as part of the Earth Week activities sponsored by the Chinese Student Association. University of Central Oklahoma artist Ruan R-Jun will handpaint
his original designs and calligraphy on T-shirts at the Oklahoma Room in the University Center from 1-5 p.m. through Friday. R-Jun was honored last July when the Shanghai Art Museum of China featured him in a show entitled "Ruan R-Jun: Selected Works of Calligraphy, Painting and Seal Carving." Since 1990, R-Jun's art biography and works have been listed in "The Grand
Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese Calligraphers" and "The Exquisit Works of Contemporary Chinese Calligraphers and Painters." R-Jun began hairbrush painting as a child. He drew inspiration when he was just eight years old studying under Li Ding-Long, a Chinese artist and teacher whose paintings now sell for $10,000 and up.
The delicate hairbrush handpainting techniques are accomplished with brushes cornposed of white wolf or goat hair. Seal carving is done by carving a stone with a knife. The desire to learn Western painting brought R-Jun to UCO. He began blending Western and Chinese techniques to develop his own unique style. R-Jun, who is learning to speak
English, was effusive about his love for Oklahoma. "I love the open spaces and the friendly people here," said R-Jun. "The art department here (at UCO) is a winner." Nick Xu, cooridinator of the Chinese Student Association booth, said there would also be Chinese poetry readings at the booth. For times of the readings, call Xu at 359-4892.

Bronchos sweep Aggies in twinbill By Justin Harper Sports Editor Just three days after getting swept in a doubleheader against Cameron, Central Oklahoma's baseball team decided to turn the table on their intrastate rivals. The Bronchos exacted their revenge by exploding for 21 runs in the opening game of the twinbill, a 21-4 win, and then backed that up with an 8-7 victory to complete the sweep. UCO came out of a seasonlong offensive slump and pounded Aggie pitchers for the 29 runs after managing just 5 total runs in the doubleheader on Friday. The Bronchos blasted seven home runs in the games. UCO's Dave Miller and Wagner Hicks
went deep in the first game for their 5th and 2nd homers of the season. Then in the nightcap the Bronchos had five batters swat clingers. Miller went out of the yard for the second time in two games for his 6th on the year and Mike Ledbetter cranked one out for his 5th on the season. Parrish Matthews and Eric Castle each tallied their 3rd homer of the season and Shane Smith garnered his 2nd. Greg Hamm was on the mound for the first game and improved his season record to 24, while Joel Heath took the hill for the nightcap and upped his mark to 2-1. UCO raised its record to 1121 on the season with the two wins and improved to 6-10 in the Lone Star Conference.

Committeeurges U. S. air strikes on Serbia WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Warren Christopher said Tuesday the "worsening situation" in Bosnia could require the use of force. A senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Conunittee urged the Clinton administration to order U.S. air strikes against Serbian forces. In an appearance before the foreign relations conunittee, Christopher said use of force "could be an option." But Christopher also reiterated the administration position against use of ground forces except as part of an international peacekeeping force. "The situation is desperate and air strikes could have a significant impact," Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., who returned recently from Bosnia, said on NBC's 'Today" show.

Prison sentencing system gets scrutinty OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Sen. Gene Stipe turned back a measure that would have done away with jury sentencing, after casting its supporters in with persecutors of Jesus Christ and George Washington. "If there'd been a jury in the day of the Messiah, he wouldn't have been crucified," Stipe, D-McAlester, said Monday in arguing against a key part of a sentencing revision act. "He would have been declared not guilty, and let go." Letting judges rather than jurors decide a sentence, Stipe said was like letting a king rather than citizens run a country — say, the United States. The act substantially revises Oklahoma's sentencing system, in large part by setting a specific range of sentences for each crime and replacing the state PardOn and Parole Board with a Truth in Sentencing Board that could consider letting inmates go only after they served 80 percent of their sentences.

Bronze book staff tour publishing plant By Rebecka Slaughter
Student Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma's yearbook staff recently toured the Taylor Publishing Company's processing plant in Dallas. Pam Thurman, Sabrina Miller and Lisa Dunn, accompanied by Dr. Terry Clark, left for Dallas Friday morning and returned Sunday. "The tour takes about one and a half hours and covers all parts of yearbook production, including photography, typography, and graphics. It (the tour) also shows
the library of all our previous yearbooks. Currently we have over 1,000 accounts from different schools throughout Oklahoma and Texas. We have three plants in the U.S.; the Dallas one covers 20 acres,"said Dan Vossen, UCO' s Taylor representative. "Considering the fact that one spread could go through as many as 20 steps, I was surprised how well organized everything was. We only had one picture misplaced out of all those that they (Taylor) processed," said Thurman. "The trip was a lot of fun. We saw how the books were printed, hopefully we can use that information to make next year's Bronze Book the best," said Miller.
Special quests invited to attend are: President and Mrs. Nigh, Vice President and Mrs. Dudley Ryan, Vice President and Mrs. Richard Burpee, Vice President Clyde Jacob and Vice President Joyce Mounce. The class marshals for the 1993 spring graduation are: Vicki Bailey, Mary Castleberry, Pati Jo Ficken, Karen Sue James, Janet Sue Jamison, Lori Kroll, Tuean Ahn Nguyen, Paul D. Stanley, Joycelyn A. Stevens and Jack Edward Taylor. The UCO Chamber Singers will provide the entertainment for the evening.

Dinner for graduates set Student Writer
DARWIN, Australia (AP) — Tourists fearing a curse are returning stones illegally taken as souvenirs from Ayers Rock. Ian Irvine, acting manager of the national park containing the popular tourist site, said today that some people thought the stones brought them had luck, marriage breakup and ill health. Ayers Rock is site to aboriginal people, who call the site by its traditional name, Muni, "The aboriginal people are not particularly happy about the rocks being disturbed," Irvine said. "Whether it actually causes the had luck or not, who knows'? But these (tourists) have had a run of back luck which they have associated with souveniring activities." Irvine said dozens of stones — 24 in the past week — have been mailed to his office. IVIost are accompanied by anonymous letters of apology.

Novelists discuss profession Say writing business is tough, nasty By Joy McNutt Student Write Reading over the last few lines of type, she smiles and weeps. She centers the paper and types "The End." "Want to celebrate?" she asks her cat. She puts tuna on fine china for the cat, lights the fireplace and candles and drinks a toast to Jesse, hero of her stories. The scene is from the movie "Romancing the Stone," an account of the adventurous lifestyle of the fictional romance novelist, Joan Wilder. Sara Orwig, one of the University of Central Oklahoma's teaching novelists, said the cat and the tuna scene was the only scene in the movie that she could identify with. She teaches Creating Mainstream Fiction. In the Fall, she will teach Creating Genre Fiction which includes glitz, glamour, historical, romance, and family. She and Dr. Edward Allen, also a novelist and Artist in Residence in UCO' s creative studies department who teaches Advanced Long Fiction and Writing Short Fiction, discussed what it is like to be a career novelist. Writing does tend to isolate a person, Orwig said. Caught up in

her writing, she said sometimes she doesn't go out of the house for weeks. The level of excitement and adventure may not equal swinging through the jungle on a vine with a huge jewel in her pocket, while narrowly escaping from bandits and crooked police. But Orwig said she does travel to do research before writing her novels. The enjoyment comes from writing itself, she said. She has published 39 novels since her writing career began in 1978. However, she said that if she had to go it alone, she would have a sideline. "It's like anything in entertainment. It's very chancy, like being a singer or an actress," Orwig said. Allen spoke to English Society members at their March meeting about "How to Be an Unhappy and Perhaps Promising Writer." He considers himself a somewhat accomplished writer, but to feel successful, Allen said, he would need more money, more recognition and more groupies. Also, he said, he would be completely solvent, generally well known and could work anywhere he wanted. Allen said he had his bachelor's degree and was working as a

It's tough," he said, but he added that he is not at all sorry he went into writing. Once he had one book published and two stories in The New Yorker magazine, he said agents started calling him.

about a college professor who gets caught with the daughter of one of his colleagues." The book also addresses the issue of discrimination against the white male in today's society, he said. Orwig's newest novel, titled "New Orleans," is featured on the cover of the April issue of Romantic Times magazine. It is about an Irish immigrant building his fortune after washing up from the sea in New Orleans in the 1860's. The writing life is satisfying, Allen said, as long as the writer has taken precautions against the worst of the risks, like being poor. And he said, "In the story you can be yourself, doing all the things you never had the guts to do in real life."

African storyteller performs for students By Susan Wright Guest Writer
Dressed in traditional dress and beating rhythmically on large African drums, Jojo Takyi-Micah captured the attention of the crowded classroom before beginning his animated tale of why Ananse, the spider, spins his web in a corner. He concluded the African folk tale saying, "This is my story. It is not to be believed, but it is to be accepted. Take from it what you can apply to your life." The University of Central Oklahoma senior grew up in Accra, Ghana, where school children are taught the community art of storytelling. Each story teaches a moral or lesson in life. "The spider's web personifies the human web," Takyi-Micah said. "You tell one lie, then more to cover up the first lie, until you tie it all around yourself and are caught in the web." Although Ananse means spider in Ghana, Takyi-Micah said it describes any storytelling. The spider is often a main character. Takyi-Micah entertained UCO students at the recent liberal arts
student symposium. Although, he has spoken to groups at local grade schools, it was his first time to entertain adults. Judging by the roaring laughter, the stories have lessons for all ages. "I never know what story I'll tell until I look at the faces in the audience," he said. "I read their faces and feed off their reactions, that's what gets me going." Takyi-Micah began telling stories for audiences when he came to the United States one year ago to attend UCO and live with his brother in Edmond. The International Office at UCO and several local black organizations schedule his appearances. He is a graduate of the Ghana School of Performing Arts, where he worked in the public relations department. At UCO, he is working toward a bachelor of oral communications in public relations. He said he hopes to combine careers in acting and public relations when he returns to his homeland. Although acting is his first love, it is difficult living in Ghana. For now, he expresses himself through his stories. And whether he's telling of Ananse, the spider, African storyteller Jojo Takyior other African folk tales, you Micah entertains UCO students can bet he is having a good time. at the recent Liberal Arts
student symposium. TakyiMicah is a native of Ghana. (Photographic Services)
