Our selflessness is uncut by terror

E

vil donned an unfamiliar form on April 19 in the state of Oklahoma. It assumed the countenance of domestic terrorism—and many who had seen its face did not live to tell the tale.

Those who did spoke of a horror so profound and a terror so ghastly that they are still reeling from the impact.

This act of terrorism has left in its wake bloodied debris, mutilated corpses and broken lives. People are forced by circumstance and calculated madness to share a common makeshift grave. The world learned last Wednesday that grown men do cry.

The blood will be upon the heads of the people who can be likened to, and may well be, Satan's henchmen.

Demonic forces around the world have been unleashed with a wantonness and a ferocity that forebode the prophesied Armageddon, blaming our governmnent while they murder defenseless citizens of their own country in the name of justice.

Yet in these moments of seemingly utter darkness, goodness prevails. Compassion can be found amidst the carnage, selflessness is uncut.

The act was spurred by men's most base instincts and was intended to cower the human spirit, to break it into subjugation by the solicitation of fear. Yet it did not.

We have not given these terrorists the pleasure of having their intentions met. Rather, we have discovered within ourselves a well of inner strength, resources we were not aware existed.

The tragedy will never be considered a blessing in disguise, but what is meant for evil has been turned into tremendous good as people came together en masse, and mourned collectively for the needless loss of lives.

We all have the potential for committing evil, yet we believe that people have a greater capacity for good.

The long lines at local blood banks, the tireless efforts of firefighters, medical staff and rescue workers, the endless flow of condolences and love from across the states and the world all bear testament. We have been put to the ultimate test, a worst-case scenario, and we have risen above it.

As we begin to work to regain our peace of mind, let us be thankful for those whom have survived this honor—and especially to those who died trying. In America, death is one price of freedom—but so is the ability to come together, to survive. For even those who did not live through the bombing, their spirit has survived in all of us.

UCO police say they 'can't do enough' pril 19, 1995 began like most days had begun previously when around 9 a.m. a sound was heard which was unidentifiable by some and readily recognizable by others in our department.

The secretary thought it reminded her of a sonic boom, yet to her, it wasn't possible it could be that loud or effective in moving the ground under her. To the officers who were more experienced, they began moving immediately out of the police station to see from which direction the sound had come and where the explosion occurred.

Within seconds, the dispatcher turned on the TV to see if there was news about the explosion and where it was located. No more than 15-20 minutes later, the dispatcher received a call requesting that our officers escort a crane belonging to the Boldt Construction Company to the downtown area where the explosion occurred.

Three officers immediately responded, escorting the crane down 1-35 and into the downtown area of the Murrah Federal Building.

During the hours which followed, nine of our officers were positioned around the Oklahoma City perimeter to secure streets and off/on ramps from 1-35.

Their responsibilities included keeping out sightseers and any-

one who wasn't needed to help with the disaster. On the inside of the city where the explosion occurred, several more of our officers were assigned various tasks.

When talking to the officers about what they had done, they seemed to collectively feel they hadn't done enough.

They were doing their duty, volunteering to help with whatever task they were given. They were willing to do anything to help ascertain, control or sustain the scene, while other members of our community were doing everything possible to remove the injured and even the dead from the remains of the Federal Building. f you are reading this article to find the gruesome details of what the officers saw or what they did, you won't get them.

The words they gave in describing their experiences were uttered in a look from their eyes, nodding of their heads, sighs, gazing eyes at the floor and even tears.

But words?

No, there are no words available to paint the picture of what

/

they saw or emotions available to tell you how they felt while they were doing only their jobs...public servants helping the public who at the time had no names, only injuries, needs, questions for which they had no immediate answers.

To get from them any particulars on what they did, they might say they gave someone a hug, listened while someone talked to them, lifted objects in the way of others doing their jobs, giving directions to one of the information centers, triages or places where they could get some food.

Our officers assisted, helped, listened, directed, lifted debris, worked...they gave of themselves in whatever capacity they could to begin and helped in providing systematic organization of control from the chaos around them.

We salute our officers, who ask for no public adulation, but who underneath their professional exterior, do appreciate our thanks.

After all, the UCO Police Department officers are just like the rest of us, who if we could have been where they were would have done what they did...at least 1 believe we would have.

Student shares feelings, experience of bomb's aftermath

W

ednesday, April 19, 1995 started out as a beautiful sunshiny day in Oklahoma. But it quickly turned out to be the most tragic sight I have ever experienced.

I arrived for my first class of the d a y (Business) at 8:30 a.m., prepared to take an exam. It was 9:04 a.m. when I Tracie Fowler felt the building shake and thought the windows were going to fall down on my head. But I put it out of my mind.

Only a few minutes later, I finished my test and was walking to the University Center to visit some friends. The Oklahoma Room was a mob-scene of students surrounding the only television in the room.

All I heard was "a possible bomb," and wondered why everybody was so interested. Then, I heard, "in downtown Oklahoma

City, the Alfred T. Murrah Building."

It took me by surprise. I was so shocked my knees just buckled out from under me, and I had to take a seat immediately. I did not want to believe something so drastic could hit so close to home.

I immediately wanted to know if they needed individuals trained in first aid. So after a mad dash to the phone, I called the American Red Cross. All the lines were busy.

I took some notes and decided to go downtown. On the way out, I heard an announcer plead for first-aid volunteers to come help.

Downtown was in total chaos.

People, cars and emergency crews were everywhere. Mothers were screaming and crying to policemen to let them go get their children. Men, women and children of all ages walked around half-dazed, looking at what had become downtown Oklahoma City.

After flashing my first-aid certification to anyone who asked, I finally made my way to where I needed to be. I was told to put on latex gloves and a surgical mask and was handed a full box of latex gloves with instructions to distrib-

ute them. I was then to follow the group to the command post for duty call.

At the command post, everyone was split into groups of professionals, students and volunteers, those with emergency experience, and so on. I was posted in the students and volunteers group.

Then, when everyone was settled, the emergency-experienced and professionals grouped with two students and/or volunteers into parties of four. When all was said and done, we headed for the scene of the explosion.

Within a few blocks from the accident, we were stopped for instructions of where to go and what not to touch. We were told to set up a triage on the south side of the building.

I was so scared, I kept wondering why I even came down. I had no idea what to expect. Thoughts of my training raced through my head all at once as I was looking around at what had happened.

I was getting a close-up view, and it was unbelievable. How could anyone do something like this?

Glass and rubble was everywhere. I could see up into the

building and see people moving around. I could not tell if they were rescue teams or if they were some of the victims. ut of a second-story window hung a manmade escape rope— made by tying some curtains together. I stood and wondered how many victims had escaped from that route—and how many had died.

I was not at the location for long due to another bomb scare.

After being moved back up and down again, they decided to only allow medical personnel with at least two years' experience into the scene.

I helped unload cars and trucks of food, blankets, water and other medical supplies. After things slowed down and it was obvious I was just getting in the way, I excused myself and headed for work.

It took a while for everything to settle in. When it did, I felt sick to my stomach and tired, like I hadn't slept in days. I remembered the devastation and thought of the lives lost and in danger.

I was scared and pretty shook up, but it was an experience I'll

never forget. I am glad I took the chance to go down and try to help.

The worst that could have happened is I could have been turned away. I am glad I was not and that I got to help in the way I did. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

UCO students present artwork at annual 'Crosscurrents' symposium

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

Over 200 students presented their artistic works and research papers to an audience of their peers at Crosscurrents 7, a student symposium held April 19 in the Liberal Arts Building.

Most classrooms and the second floor lobby in the Liberal Arts Building were used for presentations.

The creative studies department held a full program of short stories and poems.

In Room 122, Andrea Critchfield read her short story Marred and Misshappen, a story about a sculptor whose hands shook uncontrollably.

Critchfield said, "He used his handicap to become a good sculptor—it took me two years to write this story, I would be happy to get it published."

Judging by the laughter and applause coming from Room 116,

the humanities department's politically correct fairy tales were extremely popular.

Herb Eakers read two of his politically correct tales. The first story, The Elves, was about a shoemaker who made shoes of 100 percent pure dye-free and perfumefree cotton.

His second story, The Seven Kids, told about a time-enhanced woman who adopted seven kids, and jogged to the Farmer's Market daily to pick up Perrier water and fresh organic vegetables.

All-day exhibits in the second floor lobby consisted of arts and crafts.

Several students drew quite a crowd by demonstrating their skill with a potter's wheel.

Tammy Williams, a formation arts major, demonstrated how to use the wheel while making a decorative bowl.

Many pieces of pottery were on sale.

Williams said, "We have some

things that students are selling.

The money we make will be donated to the ceramic art department. We are trying to buy some new, needed equipment that we probably won't get from the university."

Also on the second floor was the sociology department's AIDS awareness room. The room was decorated with AIDS posters from all over the world, including Japan and the Netherlands. The posters are part of a 10-year collection by Dr. Lewis Irving. Safe sex information and condoms were free to all students.

Irving said, "I decorated the room in a visual way to get people to walk in. Once they got in, I thought they would at least find something to entertain them for a while.

"It's as much entertainment as it is education, and if we can take education and make it entertaining, we can definitely be more effective," he said.

State Representative Bill Graves and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Attorney Joel Carson will speak in a civil liberties debate scheduled for 2 p.m. April 27 at Pegasus Theatre in the Liberal Arts Building.

Pi Sigma Alpha (Political Science Honor Society) is sponsoring the debate, said Michael Greeson, UCO senior and the event's coordinator.

The topic of debate is, "How the recent conservative political wave can redefine our concept of civil liberties," he said.

Greeson defined a civil liberty as "a liberty guaranteed to you by law and, of course, they involve liberties that are encompassed in the Bill of Rights... like the right to free speech." he said.

The speakers will debate whether current American politics threaten this country's civil liberties, according to the liberal conception, or whether they enlighten the conception of civil liberties and bring them closer to the ideas of the founders of this country.

Some specific topics of debate will cover issues such as abortion, homosexuality, affirmative action and school prayer, he said.

Carson will represent the liberal view and Graves will represent the conservative view, Greeson said.

"There is a nice chemistry between these two speakers that will make the debate interesting."

UCO senior Angela Allen, president of Pi Sigma Alpha, encourages professors to give students extra credit to attend the debate.

The explosion occurred at a newly constructed three-story apartment building about 50 yards from the home of Ambassador Sheikh Abdullah Al Malhooq.

Police, however. would not speculate whether he was a target of a terrorist bombing. It was not known if the ambassador was at home at the time of the late afternoon blast. Many diplomats, politicians and business people live in the same suburb — Paleo Psychic°. north of Athens.

New art course added to fall schedule

By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer A course about symbols and how they often mean similar things in separate cultures is being offered in the fall.

"Multicultural Art" will be taught by Dr. William Hommel, chairman of the department of visual arts and design.

Concentrating particularly on symbols, Hommel will discuss Mother Earth and how her image is seen in different cultures.

"We will also talk about the ancestral image and the important part it plays in our culture.

This will deal with things like serpents and how they relate to similar ideas of rivers, rain and water in various cultures," he said.

Hommel believes art is one of the best ways for people to understand other cultures.

The course will focus mainly on American Indian, African, Oceanic and Oriental cultures, Hommel said.

Although he feels the course is already interesting, Hommel said he has "high hopes" for its future.

"I have been working to put together an interactive multimedia video that works on the computer via CD-ROM," he said.

This seminar will be offered from 10:40 to 11:30 a.m.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Its course number is 4913 under the Visual Arts and Design section of the 1995 summer and fall enrollment schedule.

Pig tissue may reverse Parkinson's BOSTON (AP) — For the first time, doctors have transplanted tissue from a pig into the brain of a man with Parkinson's disease in an attempt to reverse this debilitating illness.

If successful, the treatment will give doctors a limitless alternative to human fetal tissue, which is used now.

Previous attempts at cross-species transplants to cure human ills have failed. However, doctors say they believe there is a good chance this one will succeed, in part because the body's immune system defenses are weaker in the brain and thus less likely to reject foreign matter.

Between 500,000 and 1.5 million Americans have Parkinson's disease, which causes muscle rigidity and tremors and makes movement difficult. The disease results from the death of specialized brain cells that make dopamine, a chemical the brain uses to communicate.

Schumacher said it will take six to nine months to know if the transplanted cells will take over the job of making dopamine and relieve the man's symptoms. He will need to take a drug that suppresses the immune system to keep his body from rejecting the foreign tissue.

CNN executive vice-president highlights hall of fame activities

Cable News Network's Executive VicePresident, Ed Turner, speaks to journalism students while visiting campus last Friday. (Photo

by Daniel Smith)

Twelve journalists were inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame Friday, in a reception in the University Center at UCO. Cable News Network's (CNN) Executive Vice-President Ed Turner was the master of ceremonies. Turner, a former Bartlesville, Okla. resident, was visiting family in Oklahoma when the Oklahoma City bombing occurred.

At the front of most of the guests' minds, it was not easy to avoid conversation about it, and the ceremony began with a moment of silence to pray for the victims and survivors of the blast.

"I'm very proud of the Tulsa World, The Daily Oklahoman and the three news channels I've seen. I'm very proud of their work—it's really been a solid piece of journalism," said Turner.

Those inducted were: Milo Watson, publisher of the Perry Daily Journal;

Klina Casady Max J. Nichols

Donovan Banzett, who started the Edmond Booster, a paper which he originally printed in his mother's kitchen; W.P. "Bill" Atkinson, founder of The Oklahoma Journal; Klina E. Casady, the only woman inducted, who published the Cheyenne Star and continued the paper after her husband died and had been sold; Paul English, former capitol reporter, who has worked in journalism for over 30 years; Max J.

Before his senior season at UCO, Aska ran the 40 in 4.21 seconds, which made him the fastest college football player in the nation, regardless of division.

As a senior, Aska rushed for 1,629 yards, scored 15 touchdowns and finished third in ballotting for the Harlon Hill Award which goes to the best NCAA Division II player in the country.

The NFL draft was originally scheduled to include just the first two rounds on Saturday. Aska, however, was pleased that the third round was also completed on Saturday.

"I'm just real happy to have the draft over with," he said. "I'm glad I didn't have to wait another day to be picked. This is a big relief."

Next up for Aska is the Raiders' mini-camp, beginning May 4.

"I'm excited about getting out there and proving to everyone that I can get the job done."

Weather forces cancellation of LSC track meet

By Rachel Schnitzer

Sports Writer

Rain, lightning and high winds put a stop to the Lone Star Conference Track Championships Saturday at Central Oklahoma's Wantland Stadium.

The foul weather conditions limited the day's competition to just four men's and two women's events.

Kate Jenkins started the day for the Lady Bronchos with a second-place finish in the women's 10,000 meter race with

a time of 41 minutes 57.01 seconds, just 10 seconds behind the winner.

In the men's 10,000 meter race, the Bronchos placed three runners in the top five.

Darrell Jeffries finished second with a time of 34:53.01 with

teammates Shawn Johnson and James Minson coming in fourth and fifth, respectively.

The Bronchos only other topfive finisher was David Dickens who was second in the javelin throw with a toss of 157 feet, one inch.

The LSC coaches decided to put a stop to the event after the lunch break and will not reschedule the meet.

The UCO track teams next compete in the Drake Relays April 28-29 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Golfers driving for Lone Star title

By Mike Erwin Sports Editor

Central Oklahoma's No. 9-ranked golf team will be finishing competition tomorrow as they host the Lone Star Conference Championships in McKinney, Texas.

Tarleton State, East Texas State and Abilene Christian are the other competitors in the three-day, 72hole tournament that began Monday morning.

The Bronchos entered first-round action at The Ranch at Stonebridge Country Club having placed first, second, sixth and second in their final four tournaments.

At last week's Lost Creek Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas, UCO's Jason Freeman fired a three-round 209 to win medalist honors and propel the Bronchos to a second-place finish in the 11-team tournament.

Freeman shot rounds of 69, 71 and 69 to finish seven under par, five strokes ahead of the second-place finisher, Dean Hayhurst of East Texas State.

UCO's Dustin York finished third with a threeround total of 216.

UCO you ds Greyhounds

By Scott Moore Sports Writer

The Central Oklahoma baseball team continued it's late-season surge by winning four of five games from Eastern New Mexico over the weekend at Portales, N.M. and pushing their record above .500 for the first time since April 4.

The Bronchos won a single nine-inning contest on Friday 12-4 then swept the Greyhounds for two games on Saturday 8-4 and 6-4 before splitting a doubleheader on Sunday, losing the first game 6-4 and winning the second 7-4.

UCO raises its record to 24-22 and 9-11 in

the Lone Star Conference while ENMU drops to 27-22 and 9-11. The defending LSC champion Bronchos have won nine of their last 11 games and have one more conference series left when they hit the road to face Abilene Christian for five games beginning Thursday.

UCO's final home appearance will be tomorrow in a 3 p.m. contest against Cameron.

Broncho pitching was dominate against the Greyhounds allowing just 4.5 runs per game for the series and posting three complete game winners.

Chad Tredway (3-4) picked up the win in Friday's game going the full nine innings

while Justin Bernard (4-2) and Greg Hall (33) pitched UCO to back-to-back seveninning wins on Saturday.

The Bronchos blasted Greyhound pitching in those first three games by scoring 26 runs on 36 hits while allowing just 12 runs on 22 hits.

The Greyhounds rebounded in Sunday's first game behind the pitching of Steve Gill (4-2) who picked up the win while Brian Nichols (5-2) took the loss for the Bronchos.

In the second game, Mitch Willingham (1-0) picked up his first win of the year by taking over for Loan Dollins in the top of the third and pitching 4 2/3 innings.

Bronchos wrap up spring practice

By Scott Moore Sports Writer

The losses due to graduation were many for the Central Oklahoma football squad but the gains are substantial.

Many of the Bronchos' top performers from last year's 6-3-1 team have departed, but with 12 starters and 41 lettermen returning, UCO will retain some experience at key positions as the Bronchos close 1995 spring football drills.

"I think we had good spring workouts this year," said Head Coach Gary Howard. "Based on the fact that we graduated some good, quality players, I don't think we're at the strength level that we were at this point a year ago.

"But we have a lot of young, talented players for us this year and I think, if we work hard, then we'll have a definite chance to compete in every game."

Offensively, The strength of the Broncho attack seems to lie in the

passing game as UCO returns starting quarterback Stanley Pena and a core of talented and experienced receivers.

"We have an outstanding quarterback in Pena who I think is destined to become one of the best quarterbacks in the (Lone Star Conference) in the next couple of years," said Howard. "And I think we have the best receiving group that we've had in a while."

The Bronchos may take to the air more this fall as the loss of AllAmerican tailback Joe Aska leaves a huge hole.

"Obviously the tailback position was one of our main concerns this spring because it's hard to replace someone of Aska's magnitude." said Howard. "We have some quality players back there but at this point we really don't have a spectacular player at that position. But they are solid and have showed us a lot and will continue to improve."

The loss of two linemen in guard Mike Filson and center Flo

- Gary Howard Head Football Coach, UCO

Gonzalez provide reasons for concern on the offensive line. But the Bronchos will return starters Chris Sumpter and Aaron Roberson at guard and Chance Nelson at tackle.

UCO will be working senior Chris Cooke in at the other guard spot while freshman Dustin McNeal will be at center.

Defensively. UCO's main concerns are at linebacker and secondary due to the losses of starting linebackers Brian Orr and Eric Brinkley and starting cornerbacks John McGuire and All-American Elton Rhoades.

"We've got some talented young

players there who are going to have to step forward and have some big games for us early on for us to be solid there. But I don't know if we can be as sound there as we have been in the past.

"We have two strong returners in the secondary in Larry Nunn and Richard Norman. The other positions in the secondary are up in the air but freshman Hurley Tamer has shown us lot this spring.

UCO will have experience along the defensive. hosting returners at the tackle positions while twoyear starter Phil Sexton will anchor the line at left end.

"All they have to do is just call," said Nigh.

"It is a tragedy unimaginable, but pulling together our efforts to help is believable," he said in response to the disaster.

THREAT continued from front page

During a bomb threat on a specific building the campus police are trained to evacuate the building, and trained in crowd control.

The Edmond police are equipped with dogs trained to sniff out bombs, (and they are notified immediately) said Mounce.

The UCO campus received a bomb threat on April 19, as did the Edmond Police Department and Edmond public schools.

"Some type of international voice called in and said that a bomb was going to go off, and they wouldn't give us a location or a time. Somebody pulling a practical joke, I guess," said Lieutenant Ed Forbes of the UCO Police Department.

The UCO Police Department has issued an information sheet to every department on campus for the event of a bomb threat.

The sheet has questions an employee should ask, such as, when the bomb is going to explode, what kind of bomb and what time the threat was received.

If a member of the university staff receives a bomb threat, they are asked to fill out the information sheet after they call the police, so that they can respond and assist in filling out the forms if necessary, said UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts. ,/1)
