SGA president elected; grievances filed Jason Webb Student Writer

Colin Martin was elected as the 1994-95 University of Central Oklahoma Student Government president after two days of elections last Wednesday and Thursday; however, grievances were filed against one of the vice-presidential candidates The fmal ballot count showed Martin obtained 433 votes (52.99 percent), and Joacquin Stevens obtained 384 votes (47 percent).

The ballots for the vice president showed Ben Harris obtained 49.6 percent of the votes and Abid Khawaja obtained 36 percent, said Martin.

Facing tliâ‚Ź pAin : the fight against rape Counselors work to heal pain, anger of rape victims

By Janet Runge Staff Writer

This is part four of the investigative report on rape.

Rape: The healing.

"People come to my door through many different paths," said Ann LaFrance, adult crisis counselor at the YWCA crisis services.

LaFrance said their services receive referrals from rape crisis center calls, hospitals, police and paramedics.

"We get referral from other counselors." said LaFrance. "Sometimes in their work with individuals, they come across this issue and will refer clients to me for short-term intensive work on just this one issue, on rape or domestic violence."

"We are crisis intervention, we get in, do triage, stabilize and get out."

LaFrance said that many counselors find that at the root of their client's anxiety disorders like anorexia or bulimia is an unrecognized, unresolved, unreported, unacknowledged sexual assault.

"Starting with the time our advocates meet a victim in the hospital, the question is `do you even want us here,' if the survivor says 'no,' we back out," she said.

"You bring the survivor back choices, that sense of power and control."

"Sometimes the survivors will not want us in the hospital room and that's fine, that's their choice, but their family is sitting out in the waiting room going, 'what do we do,' so we may work with the families, she said. "The family support, or lack of, is going to be critical to the survivor."

The YWCA also has female and male volunteers who serve as advocates for rape victims.

"The volunteers receive over 46 hours of Counseler Jan Chapel talks with a student in the Counseling Service • See RAPE, Page 9 Office. The services are free to all students. (Photo by Chris Smith) V See related story, Page 8

Is a state lottery good for Oklahoma? Yes!

0

klahomans are being denied a privilege afforded the majority of Americans every day — unless they cross a neighboring state's border.

Thirty eight states now have lotteries, and it is estimated by Gov. David Walters' office that Oklahomans are spending at least $18 million a year buying lottery tickets in surrounding state lotteries.

"We're building a lot of schools, prisons and social programs and in these other states," Walters said at a recent luncheon.

Walters would like to see that money stay in Oklahoma, and on May 10 State Question 658: The Oklahoma Lottery Proposal will give Oklahomans a chance to decide whether to create a state lottery whose proceeds will be used to finance long-term job creation activities and high-tech research and development.

Despite fears to the contrary from David Vance, executive vice president and chief executive officer of Remington Park, Walters says that a lottery will not hurt the horse racing industry for two reasons: Some games will be designed based on the outcome of horse races, and, also, the race track would sell lottery tickets.

Many self-proclaimed Christians -- the very people who oncethe evils of thumped their bibles in an attempt to keep horse racing out of Oklahoma -- are now joining with their former devil against the lottery proposal, now decrying the evils of gambling.

But estimates released by the governor's office project a gross revenue of $180 million per year from a state lottery.

Half of those revenues — $90 million — would be awarded as prizes. A maximum of $27 million would be allocated for administrative and operating expenses, and the remaining $63 million dollars would be divided between the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST) and a trust fund.

Unlike other state lotteries, money from Oklahoma's lottery would not be used to fund ongoing budget needs, such as education, general government, corrections and social services programs, under the proposal.

Instead, the lottery proceeds would fund a savings account for new investments in research and technology, and education facilities and equipment.

The beauty of this is that there is no risk to taxpayers if revenues fall or the lottery fails. Worst-case scenario is that Oklahoma would have a nice little nestegg for future programs.

While they do not have the right to buy a lottery ticket now, if they choose to do so. Oklahomans can change that, and boost the state's economy, by voting yes May 10 on SQ 658.

Student says Cobain's death left void

T

he music world took a heavy toll when Nirvana's lead vocalist, Kurt Cobain, killed himself with a shotgun at his home in Seattle. Rock icon Cobain left us wondering as to how much music has molded from the days when the Beatles rocked our hearts with songs like "Hey Jude," to this present moment when household beliefs such as "music soothes a wounded heart" is no more than a mere cliché. There is no question as to how far music has helped us to remove the veil over our emotions and reveal our true human colors.

Over the high, flashy platform, amidst the crazy fans, we see an

artist sing with the heavy metallic beats. There is more fury and frustration in his voice. The pitch from the string of his guitar is more piercing and his voice is even more loud. All in all, we have come to appreciate more of these songs over those soft numbers.

Like it our not, this is the trend.

But have we ever contemplated as to how the road to rocking the hearts of all with corrosive songs like "Nevermind" is paved? Jamming the stadium and surfing the human wave with torn jeans is one thing, but to point a shotgun over your temple and pull the trigger is totally different.

The day when Cobain shot himself, like his millions of fans, I felt

a flicker of loneliness creeping in me too. The awe is still looming deep in the hearts of his fans, and the void that caused in the music world will remain for many years to come. Before his tragic death, we could read so much of his life.

Although he entertained us to the utmost, his married life with Courtney Love was on the rocks.

There were reports that his life was plagued with depression and frustration that besieged him. So much an irony to the person whose songs are so much cherished by our young generation. He has left behind his wife, his 19-month-old daughter and many more songs still unsung.

Reader gives views on health care

M

ost political analysts believe that before the year is over, Congress will pass a compromised version of the President's health care plan. The Presidents' plan calls for a socialized cure for "the health crisis." I personally believe that there is no health care crisis, but there is a serious problem.

If we mandate the employers to provide health care for the employees, there will be less jobs and decreased profit for the business, which would hurt the economy.

Moreover, we are already taxed too high and no one wants to pay

more for socializing health care.

In other countries, students can go to medical school right after high school. It saves time and creates more doctors. We need to break the monopoly of the American Medical Association (AMA), open more medical colleges and open the door of medical colleges to more students. By having more doctors, cost of health care is bound to go down. By cutting government waste, funds can be created to establish more hospitals and clinics. Above all, we need to give our nurses the authority to prescribe medicine. This would also help to pull the costs down.

If you talk about crisis, I believe we have a crisis in Bosnia, we need a maj or reform of the welfare system to put back the people to payroll from welfare, and we need to apply more resources to curb down crime in our society. But when it comes to health care, the last thing that we need is Hillary Clinton's prescription on how to reform health care, all we need is a little bit of common sense and knowledge of economics to fix the problem. The government is already too big, and no one wants to see it get bigger.

Signers at plays fill in what can't be heard

By Dayna Poarch Staff Writer

.

A hobby that became a career for Joan Blake is now benefiting the University of Central Oklahoma theater department by providing sign language interpretations for deaf members of the audience.

Blake, who has been doing sign language for 10 years, began interpreting UCO productions last spring after talking with Dr. Roberta Sloan, UCO associate professor of oral communications.

Sloan said, "I know there are hearing impaired people that enjoy seeing theater."

Sloan, Oklahoma chair for the American College Theater Festival and member of the regional committee, became interested in an interpreter after seeing a person sign at a theater competition in Plano, Texas, she said.

"With the university's sensitivity for physically challenged students and the physically challenged in the community, it would be an excellent idea to continue the program," Sloan said.

MHA honors May with baskets to hang on loved ones' doors Voncile Davis Student Writer

The Mental Health Association (MHA) will begin selling May baskets April 26-29 for S5 each at the association office, 5104 N. Francis, Suite B in Oklahoma City.

To celebrate May Day and to remind the public that May is Mental Health Month, the Mental Health Association suggests an old tradition of hanging a May basket on t!-!e door of loved ones.

"The baskets will be filled with begonias and will be ready just in

time for Secretary's Day," said Elizabeth Holmes, of MHA. The origin of May Day is uncertain. However, celebrations . supposedly originated with spring festivals of the goddesses of fertility of India and Egypt. In medieval England, it featured the Maypole, decorated with flowers and brightly-colored streamers.

During the 20th century, the most publicized May Day celebration has been within the Soviet Union. More than 100 years ago, the second Socialist International designated the first day of May as a labor holiday and so it has re-

Rape: Myth vs. Reality WORLD' WRAP Myth:

Reality:

Campbell Soup Co. changes label CAMDEN, NJ. (AP) — It's not just a soup can, it's a pop art icon. But Campbell Soup Co., boldly tampering with tradition, is changing the look of its red-and-white label.

The new soup label has a photograph of a bowl of soup in the center. The red panel on the upper half of the label is smaller, and the name of the soup variety is higher. The new cans will hit supermarket shelves this month.

"This is a pretty dramatic change," said spokesman Kevin Lowery.

A small box on the label reassures customers: "New look same great soup!"

Altering the label was no small matter to the 125-year-old company.

"We researched the heck out of this initiative," said F. Martin Thrasher, president of Campbell's 'U.S. Soup Division.

"We consider it a very premeditated and intelligent refinement of an incredibly fine and powerful equity."

The new design was to be formally unveiled Thursday at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

It could never happen to me

All kinds of people have been raped: any age, race, class, religion, occupation, education or physical description

Most rapes occur as a "spur of the moment" act in a dark alley by a stranger

Rape often occurs in one's home. Over 50 percent of the time, the offender is a relative, friend, neighbor, date or other acquaintance of the victim.

Rape is a sexual crime

A rapist is easy to pick out of a crowd

Rape victims range in age from two months to 106 years. Rape is an act of force, and the rapist seeks out persons that he/she perceives as vulnerable.

People who are raped "ask for it" by their dress or actions

Research shows that rapists look for available targets they perceive as vulnerable, not people who dress in a particular way. No person asks to be hurt or degraded, just as no one asks to be robbed because they carry money.

Most rapists are black men who rape white women

The overwhelming of rapes involve persons of the same race or culture. The myth of interracial rape is based on racism in society.

People secretly fantasize about rape

Some people fantasize about aggressive sexual situations. In fantasies, we control the entire series of events. In actual rape, the survivor is completely powerless.

Men do not have to be concerned about rape because it only affects women

People can work toward changing "rape culture" by challenging values and behaviors in themselves.

Also, men have friends, mothers, wives and daughters who may someday be faced with sexual assault.

Bad speller gets caught in robbery BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) — Spelling DOES count.

A bank robber gave himself away because he couldn't spell "thief," police said.

Robert C. Mercon, 19, was charged with two bank robberies Wednesday after police matched the handwriting on the two holdup notes to that on a note found in Mercon's pocket after he was picked up on shoplifting charges.

The biggest clue: In all three notes, the writer had switched the "i" and the "e" in "thief."

Witnesses later identified Mercon as the bank robber. He pleaded innocent and was released on bail.

A total of less than $2,000 was taken in the robberies by a man who handed tellers a note demanding money and warning he had a gun. The note in Mercon's pocket was to be used for robbing a store, police said.

Nude man 'delivers' door-to-door INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A man claiming to be a pizza deliveryman wore nothing more than a baseball cap as he went door-to-door at an apartment complex.

Chad Abrams, 21, was arrested and jailed on charges of public indecency and public intoxication Thursday.

Abrams injured himself in the groin while jumping over a fence as he allegedly tried to flee from sheriff's deputies.

Sheriff's officials said he was not a pizza deliveryman. They were uncertain whether he was actually carrying a pizza.

"Spring always brings this stuff out," dispatch supervisor Linda Wyland said. "You always get these guys trying to show off what they have."

Most rapists appear to be perfectly normal people.

Most are married or young, although they can be of any age.

Rape happens to only young women

Devotees pay respect to tooth relic RANGOON, Burma (AP) — A relic believed to be Buddha's tooth arrived in Burma from China on Wednesday and was carried by elephant-drawn carriage past thousands of chanting devotees.

The relic was immediately placed on a jewel-covered litter after it arrived at Rangoon's international airport. It was carried to the World Peace Pagoda on a decorated carriage drawn by an elephant, followed by four other elephants. Devotees heed the three-mile route, many sank to their Imes in homage.

The tooth relic from China is, one of two believed to have survived since Buddha's death 2,500 years ago. The other tooth relic is kept in Sri Lanka.

Millions of people are expected to pay their respects to the relic during its 45-day stay.

China's loan of the relic was considered a good will gesture by a close ally. Burma has been ostracized by Western nations because of human rights abuses. China is a major arms supplier to the country's junta and a major trading partner.

Studies of rapists have told that rape is motivated by a need to overpower, control and dominate another person. Satisfying a "sex drive" is not behind the act.

A person can't be raped if they don't want to

There is no way to protect oneself against sexual assault

The act of rape is a frightening situation. Fear of death, threat of harm or physical brutality can immobilize anyone, and make them unable succussfully fight back.

Although rape is the responsibility of the rapist, not the victim, there are ways to reduce the risk of assault and to increase awareness, sensitivity and learn safety.

"My personal belief is that one who has been sexually violated as a child is more vulnerable."

who were violated as children are more vulnerable.

Writer shares her thoughts on story

By Janet Runge Staff Writer

When I decided to write an article about rape, I had no idea

of the in-depth project I was about to undertake.

It is one thing to read statistics in a book, it is a frightening reality to talk to women who say, 'Yes, I was raped.'

I heard that phrase from more than just the two women I mentioned in my articles.

Women who knew about my investigation would seek tile out and say, 'Yes, I was raped,' Most of the women had never reported the crime, many blamed themselves, few had gone through counseling. While society and the system has made progressive steps forward in the

fight against rape, the battle is far from over I met with closed doors, urutturned phone calls, and hostility in my attempts to gain interviews.

I had people tell me that rape was a "dirty subject" and victims did something to "deserve it."

I also met with caring people, hard-working people, people who devote their lives to the fight against rape.

I met the victims. I heard their stories, I felt their pain, I admired their strength.

Look at the people around you The victims are there. Some healed, others are on the road to recovery.

The rest wait, buried under the silence of self-blame and social unacceptance.

Editor of prison paper visits with journalism class

By Terri King Staff Writer

The 50 or so students shifted sluggishly in their seats, seemingly weighted down by the hot, heavy air in the Communications Building. It was the last night of a two-week institute on community journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma taught by journalism Chairman Dr. Terry Clark.

The institute had hosted a variety of j oumalists, editors and publishers from different community newspapers from around the state, giving first-hand accounts of operating a newspaper in small towns and communities.

The last speakers to give presentations for the institute were from the William S. Key Correctional Center in Woodward Oklahoma.

Scott Satterwhite, who is an inmate at William S. Key serving a life sentence for murder and kidnapping, is the editor of Key Connections, the newspaper serving the community of inmattes at the William S. Kerr facility.

Satterwhite stood tentatively in front of the class with advisor and teacher, Beverly Holloway.

"The way I see it, we've got a community there," said Satterwhite."The warden told us we could print whatever we wanted to as long as it was truthful, accurate, and we could back up what we had to say with facts."

Satterwhite, who had never had any journalism training or instruction before becoming editor of Key Connections , now makes $35

a month as editor and works with an 11 -member staff of writers.

Holloway, a volunteer advisor and teacher of the prison newspaper, is an experienced journalist who previously worked for The Woodward News. Holloway said she had to get equipment and supplies donated in order to get the paper started and then started the men on basics of journalism.

"We have an ever changing population, so we go over the basics: the basics of ethics, basics of news value, how to write a lead, what's the inverted pyramid, everything.

"My philosophy as their sponsor and teacher is that this is a newspaper that just happens to be in a prison and these are professional writers who just happen to be inmates, and we run it as close to a street publication as we can.

Of course, there are things like inmate count that we have to stop for and things like that, and we do have the great editor in the sky called the warden, " said Holloway.

Key Connections is a bimonthly newspaper with a circulation of around 650 copies. It runs features, news, club news, inmate's art and poetry. It is entirely inmate produced and is paid for by the inmates out of the inmate welfare fund derived from profits made in the inmate canteen.

Gordon Smith, is another volunteer who travels to different correctional institutions. He is a former inmate, having served 22 years for armed robbery. When Smith was incarcerated, he was involved with Concepts, a prison magazine. Smith worked to get

the newspaper program started at William S. Key and said he understands what inmates are feeling when incarcerated.

"The biggest problem that we' ve ever had is telling folks that we're human beings and that's one of the things that this media has allowed us to do. When Scott and I first came to prison, we were angry, we were upset, we were paranoid. Now we've learned over the years as individuals in prison that we had to change that environment so that we could survive and

ately had an impact. In the (outside) community, you walk a straighter line when you know your misdeeds will be reported, and it's the same way on the inside," said Eike.

Satterwhite said the newspaper is one program that helps to motivate the inmates to behave better.

"The paper creates a reason to read. Inmates' behaviors are improving because there are things they want. They see their name in print and it will give them an incentive to read more. Later on, they might write a letter to the editor, and later on, they might come in and want to be a staff writer," said Satterwhite. " They (the staff) thought it was just going to be a bitch column for the inmates to throw their grievances at them. And when (the paper) came out, the inmates saw that it wasn' t going to be that and after two issues, I think the staff is starting to see that now," said Satterwhite Some of the obstacles of putting out a newspaper in prison include lack of proper equipment and supplies, restrictions on the movements of the inmate writers and considerations of safety.

"There are things you have to think about in a prison that you never have to worry about on a street newspaper, like getting a memo to stay late and work on paste up. We can't just stay in our office until we're through," said Holloway.

UCO celebrates Earth Day 1994 Stacye Koch Student Writer The Earth of yesterday, today and tomorrow, as well as food, games and music, were all featured at the fourth annual University of Central Oklahoma Earth Day celebration.

Nature Conservancy, Keep Edmond Beautiful, Backwoods, Sierra Club, Oklahoma Conservation Commission and Oklahoma Toxics Campaign were present Wednesday with information about their organizations, as well as information about environmental programs they are working on.

The Oklahoma Conservation

The Biology Club sold flowering plants and herbs for 50 cents a piece.

"We had a great day. We sold $360 worth of plants," said Bryan York, president of the Biology Club.

KBLZ did a live remote while the volleyball tournament was going on.

The top three volleyball teams were awarded Earth Day T-shirts and everyone that participated in the tournament was given an Earth Day Fnsbee.

One booth gave away Frisbees to anyone who could throw them through a hula hoop. Wildflower seeds and Earth stickers were also given away to everyone all day.

Commission (OCC) had a trunk stuffed with educational materials that they are sending to elementary schools all over Oklahoma.

OCC representatives said that they were trying to get the kids interested in the environment by using a little different approach.

To kick off the celebration, Dr. Tom Warren spoke Tuesday night about his adventures following the 4,000 mile westbound route of the Lewis and Clark trail.

The expedition has benefited scientists and conservationists and rekindled the hopes of many archeologists, said Warren.

Many campus organizations were also set up, handing out information.

Speaker follows in explorers' steps Stan Wagnon Student Writer Fulfilling a boyhood dream was as important to Dr. Tom Warren as finding the Northwest Passage was to President Thomas Jefferson. He proved that with his courageous trip in 1992.

Warren was the leader of the first expedition to follow in the footsteps of Capt. Meriwether Lewis and Capt. William Clark, the legendary explorers whom President Jefferson sent on the famed mission from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean.

Warren kicked off the Earth Day festivities at the University of Central Oklahoma April 19, speaking in the Oklahoma Room of the University Center. He talked about the trip and shared his ideas of conservation and environmental protection.

The trip was something that he had wanted to do since he was 9 years old, said Warren.

teacher who gave me a book about Lewis and Clark, and I took special interest in them because they did the things that I loved to do: fishing, hunting, camping and canoeing," said Warren, who achieved his dream with the help of long-time friend John Hilton.

The pair crossed the rugged terrain of the western United States using a 21-foot boat, a canoe, bicycles and horses. The expedition began June 1, 1992 and culminated on Aug. 13, 1992.

While on the trip, Warren was made aware of the daily damage being done to America's rivers.

Lewis and Clark described the Great Falls, a series of five waterfalls on the Missouri River, as the most beautiful sight they had ever seen. But for Warren, the Great Falls were anything but beautiful.

"The people of Great Falls have dammed the falls into a power plant," said Warren. "I was disappointed when we arrived there, because I had always pictured the Great Falls as Lewis and Clark described."

The expedition gained plenty of attention across the nation, and awareness of the environmental problems was the chief result, Warren said.

"People learned more of the damage being done to our rivers as well as their smaller local waters," he said. "The devastating floods that covered the Midwest last year are a good example of the struggle between mankind and nature. I think some people now realize that the floods were caused, in part, by humans trying to control nature."

UCO professor to read poetry at creative studies brunch Sheila Nunnelee Student Writer

Betty Shipley, a professor of creative studies and published poet, will speak at a brunch hosted by the University of Central Oklahoma's Creative Studies Writers Institute at 10 a.m. April 30 in the Will Rogers Suite of the University Center.

Shipley, a graduate from UCO, will read poetry that she has written.

"I will talk about where poetry

comes form and how good it is to suffer from it," Shipley said.

Shipley' s poetry is both humorous and serious. Her two favorites are "Even Hangnails Are Exciting in Fayetteville," which is about the winter she spent in Arkansas, and "Hello and Goodbye," which is about the suicide of her friend.

Shipley's first book, "Up Yonder," a book of poetry, sold out, and now her latest book, "Somebody Say Amen," will be published soon.

Shipley also has a publishing

company in which she publishes only poetry, called "Broncho Press" in which she recently published a work from a UCO graduate.

From 11:15 a.m. until noon, people can read their own poetry.

I don't believe that a person can't write a poem, Shipley said.

This chance to read and learn more about poetry and hear other' s poetry will be a good experience, Shipley said.

Those interested can contact 341-2980, Ext. 5667. to give the title of their reading.

UCO music students win 3 first prizes at singing competition

By Jimmy Hyde

Staff Writer

Three students from the University of Central Oklahoma music department won first prizes at the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) competition April 9 in Stillwater.

Lori Briscoe, a j unior music theater from Chandler, won the junior women's competition.

"NATS can be a great learning experience for young singers," said Briscoe. "It is not simply a contest to decide the first, second and third- place winners. It is a chance for students to gain performance skills and to be evaluated on their

vocal techniques."

Jason Dowty, a freshman music theater major from Edmond, took first in the freshmen men's competition.

"I think it is a great opportunity for people to get exposure for their talents," said Dowty.

Noel Graves-Williams, a senior music performance major from Ardmore, took first in the women's graduate competition.

"I enjoyed the competition.

UCO should be very proud of its vocal music department," said Graves-Williams.
