Worker's wages rise faster than inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — American workers' wages, salaries and benefits rose 3.5 percent in the year ended March 31, slightly faster than the rate of overall inflation, the government said Tuesday.

The Labor Department said the increase in its Employment Cost Index, considered one of the best gauges of wage inflation pressures, slowed from the 4 percent increase a year earlier.

Consumer prices rose 3.1 percent during the 12 months ended March 31.

Monday's ceremony came days before the United Nations takes full control of the country from Washington.

The U.S.-led coalition came ashore Dec. 9 to help in the distribution of aid to the starving and sick caught in the country's civil war. Some 350,000 people died last year in Somalia from famine and disease.

Next week — possibly Tuesday — the United Nations is expected to assume overall operational control, and start the mammoth task of rebuilding war-torn Somalia. More than 4,000 Pakistani troops are in Somalia.

Crayfish endangered LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The cave crayfish, known to live in only two caves in northwestern Arkansas, was officially listed as an endangered species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

It was not immediately known what effect the listing, published in the Federal Register Tuesday, would have on plans for a $145 million regional airport near the Benton County town of Highfill. The airport' s master plan is under review by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The federal Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure that activities they fund, authorize or carry out do not jeopardize an endangered species.

Library named for Boren

By Kelly Hochenauer Guest Writer U.S. Senator David L. Boren is part of Oklahoma's history.

As governor of Oklahoma and as a United States Senator, Boren has served Oklahoma with pride.

In an effort to recognize Boren's efforts and accomplishments, the Nigh Institute of State Government at the University of Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries will name the planned archives library at UCO the David L. Boren State Archives Library.

UCO President George Nigh said, "We wanted to name this library for Sen. Boren because he has been a major player in Oklahoma's history. He is respected throughout the state and the country as a public servant and a scholar. He and his family have given greatly to our state. This is one

small way to say thank you."

"Sen. Boren has been a teacher, Rhodes Scholar, State Legislator, governor and now a U.S. Senator. It is very fitting that we recognize his commitment to Oklahoma," Nigh added.

The new library will house state archives currently stored in the crowded state library near the capitol.

Nigh Institute Director Carl Reherman said the new 40,000 square-foot library will be the state-of-the-art with temperature and humidity controls.

"All the historical documents dating back to statehood will be stored here. Among those are papers from governors, attorney generals and the Oklahoma Supreme Court," said Reherman.

The library will be staffed by employees of the State Department of Libraries and a rental contract has been negotiated.

Reherman said the library will be part of

The Nigh Institute of State Government, to be built south of the existing University Center.

"We wanted the documents on campus.

It is an important research center and will play a major role in our proposed master's in public administration program."

Reherman said the proposed MPA program would be one of only a handful of MPA programs in the country focusing on state and local government.

"We would be the only school in the country to have a state archives library at our fingertips for students to use in research."

Construction is scheduled to begin in March 1994 with estimated completion in March of 1996.

Working on the building will be HTB/ Glover, Smith, Bode, Inc., MNT Architects, Inc., White Engineering Associates, Inc. and Persons-Howell Engineering Inc.

EDITORIAL

Student honor code seems shallow; should be stricter University of Central Oklahoma students who aren't sure what cheating is better learn quick.

The UCO Faculty Senate's proposal, which was approved unanimously last week, will require students to sign an "honor code" on the application for admission form and the enrollment form.

Kevin Blankenship/The Vista

The honor code, which clearly states what is considered cheating, is designed to help curb the incidents of cheating at UCO. "It was found that schools with honor codes have less cheaters," said David Bass, chairman of the UCO senate's committee of academic affairs.

The honor code sounds like a good idea, but how effective will it be? Even if they sign a piece of paper swearing not to cheat, some students will do it anyway.

Students caught cheating will be punished according to the severity of the act.

"It's up to the professor," Bass said. "They could ignore it, they could penalize the student on the exam, or if they wanted to pursue it, they could ask that the student be removed from the class or removed from the university," he said.

This seems somewhat unfair. If one student commits a severe act of cheating and has an apathetic professor, he might get away with it. Another student who commits a weaker act of cheating may face more severe punishment under a stricter professor.

Although the proposal has good intentions, it seems somewhat sketchy and unfair. With stricter guidelines, however, it could be quite effective.

AIDS topic, not homosexuality

T

his is in response to Evan Cook's letter in the April 22nd edition of The Vista.

I'dlike to comment on some things he said. First was the "Baptist Church" teaching on sexual relations, that isn't their law. It's God's. Second, Christians don't make jubilation of a disease. They make jubilation of Christ. Third, Mike, nor the Baptist Student Union ever said AIDS is only from homosexuality.

It just so happened that was how Mike contracted AIDS . AIDS doesn't discriminate. Homosexuality as sin was addressed, but it was not the main focus of Mike's speech. That was his example because that was one of the big temptations in his life. The theme of his speech was that whatever the sin

is lying, adultery, slander, or gossip it can be overcome through the cross of Christ.

Mike has AIDS. There is nothing he can do about it. So, should he stop living and be depressed?

No! If you have any life threatening disease should you just quit? It is natural to be sad and angry when you are diagnosed with AIDS. But where do you go from angry? Do you spend the remainder of your life bitter? What kind of life is that? Mike found hope. If you are sick and dying and you can't turn to God for comfort and hope, then why go on? Why get up in the morning if you have no hope? "I'll live for family and friends." They can be gone in an instant. I know from experience.

Everything on earth is temporal.

God is eternal. "I don't believe in God" Well, why live in your pain and disease.

When I read the letter I was saddened for you Evan. Your heart has been so wounded by pain, anger, and disappointment that when hope is laid in your lap you can't even accept it. You are right the BSU is hoping that the testimony of a once misguided individual will cause others to acquiesce to the hope of Christ. You see that is what god does. He draws the misguided unto himself. Evan, I wish you could know the love and joy that Mike and I have. It is eternal and glorious.

realize I cannot respond to every stone that is thrown at the Baptist Student Union.

However, for the sake of those at the University of Central Oklahoma who are homosexual, I feel I must respond to Evan Cook's letter that appeared in the April 22nd issue of The Vista.

I have also lost a friend to AIDS, and am in the process of losing another. That other friend is Mike Hawkins. When Mike shared with us at the BSU, he was sharing his story. I believe Mike. He has nothing to gain by lying to us. His HIV virus has become full-blown AIDS, and he has come close to death already.

There is much that I do not understand about homosexuality.

I know not every person's experience is the same. Mike, in a very loving way, shared his story. He did not discover that he had the HIV virus until after he had left the homosexual life style. Mike wants to live. There is no celebration of disease and death. I cannot believe anyone who witnessed the

attitude of Mike or the atmosphere of the BSU the day he spoke could make such a comment.

I know not everyone will agree with our stand on homosexuality.

I would hope that our intentions are not misunderstood. God loves homosexuals. I would not allow gay bashing in the BSU. Jokes about homosexuality aren't funny.

Years ago I was studying with a fellow seminarian. He was an ex-marine with two beautiful children. He told me he was once a practicing homosexual and that he was still tempted in that way.

Looking past my shock, he told me that he was a victorious homosexual, and everyone is tempted in different ways. He also said that temptation is not sin, and reminded me that Jesus was tempted in all ways yet without sin.

That was 25 years ago. I am no longer shocked. The truth he taught me is evident in the Scriptures.

Not every desire we have is profitable and we do not have to yield to them. The Bible is clear. Sexual desire has appropriate expression

and inappropriate expression.

Homosexuality is one form of adultery. It is no better or worse than any other. The theme of the Bible is that God is for us and not against us.

God wants the best for us. He doesn't look short term. He wants fulfillment not just for us but for everyone, and not just now but when we are 50, 60, 70 and forever.

God does accept us the way we are. We sing the song "Just As I Am" in celebration of that fact.

But, He loves us too much to leave us just as we are. When a person asks Jesus to be his or her Lord and Savior, He begins to work on that person's life creating within them a new heart.

God doesn't want us to be something that we are not. We are already that. He wants us to be everything He created us to be.

"What is unique is when (UCO) students enroll in classes in the schedule, they'll have an opportunity to work with the teachers in Edmond and with the artists-inresidence," said Adams. "This is a little different blend of faculty for the children and a really good learning experience for the university students."

Annette Pate, art coordinator of the Edmond Public Schools and organizer of the events, contacted Adams to see if she was interested.

"I'd wanted more association between the university and the public schools," Pate said.

The State Arts Council of Okla-

homa had an interest in bringing the three together, too, she said.

"We will offer further lessons in the grammar of imagination and study the languages of dance, music, drama and art. Children, along with teachers, artists and university students will explore the creative process as they invent a learning environment," said Pate.

Adams called the Children's' Summer Art Classes a study in the pleasure of working, playing, talking, thinking and making art .

The classes, partially funded by the State Arts Council of Oklahoma, costs $50 per session and the first 200 children with paid registration will be accepted.

Honor society reads to children

By Joyce Kirtley

Student Writer

University of Central Oklahoma's Gamma Omega, a chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, an International Honor Society for Education, participated in the ninth annual "Reading Is Fun Week" April 21 by reading to children in the Oklahoma City and Edmond Community.

Members read to approximately 205 students, mostly kindergar-

ten through third grade, at schools that included Northern Hills Elementary and Will Rogers Elementary in Edmond, and Pierce Elementary in Oklahoma City, said Shereen Rasor, chapter historian/reporter.

Some of the members buddied up with a child who needed extra reading help, and others read to whole classrooms. Also, some read to after-school groups who had nothing to do after school, said Rasor.

"We did this to promote reading and to encourage kids to read

more," said Rasor.

In addition to reading, the chapter donated books in honor of certain children to Northern Hills Elementary's Media Center.

"The books are put into circulation for everyone, but the kids who the books are honored to get to be the first ones to check them out," said Rasor. "Members worked great with the kids, and the kids had good reactions."

"Reading Is Fun Week" was part of a national project by Reading Is Fundamental, Inc. out of Washington D.C.

UCO students visit Washington; symposium

By Terri King Student Writer

More than 500 college students descended upon the nation' s capitol over spring break to attend the "Democracy in Transition" 24th Annual Student Symposium.

Among them were University of Central Oklahoma students Paisley Basham, Deborah Meek, Greg Pollard and Donald J. Smock.

The symposium is presented by The Center for the Study of the Presidency, a non-partisan organization.

"They bring students from a variety of universities together to meet with and to listen to people that work directly in the White House and with scholars who study the White House," said Bob Funston, associate director of the Nigh Institute and professor of political science, who attended as faculty advisor to the UCO stu-

dents. "It was a good opportunity to meet with people who make things happen. I think it gave the students a good picture of how complicated the presidency really is."

Smock found the exchange of ideas with students from all over the country beneficial.

"It's always good to get in the beltway and see what people are thinking," Smock said.

"I think we did very well addressing issues of interest and I can see UCO sending people very year. Our preparedness for government study was excellent through this university. We can compete very well with other universities," Smock added.

Basham said people interested in a career in government should attend to see if they would like that kind of life. Basham said UCO should send people every year.

The UCO students attending this year's symposium paid their own fees and expenses. Basham said that in the future, the university should send students to the symposium who are majoring in political science and should fund the trip.

"The university should fund it and have it based on merit," Basham said.

Funston, Smock and Basham all agreed that the one drawback

of the symposium was that some partisanship was expressed by some of the speakers, but that overall, it was a good learning experience.

"I learned a lot about how the world works outside of Oklahoma, Basham baid.

"I think it gave the students a good chance to see as close to the top level of how government operates as they probably ever will see," Funston said.

Tournament.

The Bronchos, 14-27 prior to single home games Tuesday and Wednesday with Oklahoma City and Oklahoma Baptist, will play four LSC games in Abilene.

UCO opens the tourney against Cameron on Thursday, plays Texas A&I and Eastern New Mexico on Friday and then finishes up against Abilene Christian on Saturday.

UCO's Dave Miller has moved into a share of the LSC lead in home runs with 10, needing two to set a singleseason school record. Miller has hit .375 in the last twelve games with six homers, two doubles, two triples and 17 RBI. While Ryan Melton has hit .414 in the last 12 games to up his average to .371.

Professors to retire Energy secretary pumped about CNG BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — U.S. Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary said she wants to convert the federal government's fleet of cars and trucks to run on natural gas in the hopes that states — and eventually citizens — will follow suit.

O'Leary, who uses natural gas in her personal car, said Monday it would be the first step to establishing a market for alternative fuels. "We have to create a marketplace for the products that are important to your state," she told a joint session of the Louisiana Legislature.

But the funding to convert the cars was killed along with the President's stimulus package, she said.

Hundred days spread president thin WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton's plans for the economy, aid to Russia and free trade with Mexico are all in trouble on Capitol Hill, his budget director says in a dose of candor reflecting political realities as Clinton hits his 100th day in office.

Budget Director Leon Panetta and House Speaker Thomas Foley, D-Wash., say Clinton might want to hold off on his plan to make health care services available to all Americans and stem their skyrocketing costs.

And Clinton, himself, following a week in which his $16 billion jobs-stimulus package disintegrated in the Senate, said over the weekend that he may have spread himself too thin.

The sobering reflections came as the administration moved toward its 100-day mark today.

"Mockingbird" author ducks attention TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Publicity-shy Harper Lee, author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," let down her guard long enough to be honored by the University of Alabama but didn't sound thrilled about all the attention.

"Good Lord, child!" Lee good-naturedly scolded an autographseeker carrying three copies of her novel.

Lee, 66, won a Pulitzer Prize for her only published book, which was turned into an Oscar-winning movie starring Gregory Peck in 1962. The novel explores racism in a small Southern town through the eyes of an 8-year-old.

The book drew heavily on the author's youth in Monroeville.

She now divides her time between Monroeville and New York.

Decision cast in artist's 'private' battle LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge awarded ownership of 23 bronze casts of rock stars' genitalia to pop artist Cynthia "Plaster Caster" Albritton, who made the original plaster molds.

Albritton had sued music publisher Herb Cohen, alleging he refused to return the bronze casts in 1988, years after she gave him the plaster molds for safekeeping in 1971 when her apartment was burglarized.

Cohen said that he had a contract with Ms. Albritton to produce diaries about her experiences with rock stars and that it included rights to the casts.

Albritton testified she made the plaster casts in the late 1960s as a way to meet rock stars. Her subjects included Jimi Hendrix, Lovin' Spoonful co-founder Zal Yanovsky and Young Rascals lead singer Eddie Brigati.

Three University of Central Oklahoma Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance professors have announced their retirement at the end of the spring semester.

Dr. Phil R. Ball will retire after 29 years of service to UCO. Ball came here as the head football coach in 1964. He coached for 13 years and then in 1980 received his doctorate from Oklahoma State University. Ball said his only plans after retirement are to catch up on

some odd jobs and to do some volunteer work. He said he plans to stay in Edmond and will still be involved with various activities on campus.

Dr. Homer L. Coker will retire after 24 years at UCO. Coker came to UCO in 1969 after 12 years at the University of Tulsa.

In 1980, he became chairperson of the HPERD department, where he served until 1992. Coker said after he retires he plans to take some of his hobbies such as woodworking, reupholstering, and leather working more seriously.

He also plans on traveling a lot, and said that on June 12, his 61st

birthday, he is leaving on a 34-day trip that will take him all the way to Fairbanks, Alaska.

Dr. Joan E. Bottger came to UCO in January 1970 and will retire after 23 years at UCO. When aced why she was retiring she said she just thought it was time. " I'm not real sure what I'll do, but I'm sure I will have fun," when asked what she planned on doing after her retirement, Bottger said.

These professors, along with other retiring UCO professors in the College of Education, will be honored at a reception from 1:303 p.m. on Wednesday in the Home Economics living room.

UCO students build laser for research; experiments

By Carol Cole Student Writer

Formerly the stuff of science fiction novels, lasers have moved to the forefront of modern technology, and University of Central Oklahoma students are on the forefront.

Under the guidance of physics professor Dr. Baja Jassemnejad, UCO physics students built a laser that was completed early this semester.

"We basically made something out of nothing," said Jassemnej ad.

"It all costs money, and we had to get very creative to do this. I'm very proud of our students."

Jassemnejad and his students started with a small laser that can be purchased commercially for about $700 called a He-ne. It took about a year to finish the more powerful student built laser that now is being used in research and experiments.

"It's like sitting in a car in a driveway, and trying to get out of it for the first time," said Jassemnejad. "We're st'll working on it — to make it a good quality beam."

Another first in the laser lab is the creation of the school's first hologram by student Mark Zimmerman.

"Mark was basically a photography student who was very interested in lasers," said Jassemnej ad.

"He came to me and asked if he could enroll in the laser class. You see, you don' t have to be a science major to be interested in science.

It works with all different kinds of studies."

Zimmerman created a hologram of the comic-strip character cat, Garfield. The hologram took about two months to complete, and he has started on other holograms.

Holograms may be thought of as one of the "fun" ways of using a laser, but holograms have useful applications too, according to Jassemnejad. They are now being

used to check for flaws in airplane tires.

More and more ways are being discovered to utilize the vast capabilities of the laser. The way we communicate through the technology of fiber optics and the use of lasers in medicine are examples of the primary uses of lasers.

"It's very important that we know how lasers interact with human tissue," said Jassemnejad.

"We must know how to select the proper laser for the use."

Jassemnejad's work in the field of laser technology has been widely recognized. Earlier this semester, he was awarded the Distinguished Scholar Award from the UCO chapter of the American Association of University Professors. His research has been published in 15 articles in national and international journals in his field.

June is the projected date of the ground-breaking to build the new math and science building that will have more room for the currently tiny laser lab. Jassemnejad is looking forward to moving into the new facility.

"Right now, we've even got students doing experiments in the hall, " said Jassemnejad, gesturing to a work area outside of the room that contains the lasers.

Jassemnejad's goals for the future of the laser lab include finding a way to purchase a flash-lamp dye laser that costs $20,00030,000. The laser would be much more flexible with more wave length selectivity to do basic research and spectroscopy (the study of lasers). Although that amount sounds like a lot, said Jassemnejad, lasers can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Jassemnejad doesn't know where the money will come from to purchase the laser at this time.

"We'll have to beg," he laughed.

"And then we shop very carefully for the absolute best prices."

"You have to be creative," said Jassemnejad.

UCO may get elite masters in public administration

By Kelly Hochenauer Guest Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma may soon join the ranks of an elite group of universities in the country to offer a master's degree in public administration.

The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges voted Friday to approve UCO' s proposed program. The proposal will now go before the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

UCO President George Nigh said the MPA program will meet a long-standing need to train administrators in state government.

"This will be the only program in the state focusing on state and local government," said Nigh.

"There are only a handful of schools in the country offering this type of degree. We feel very fortunate to be in a position to offer such a highly-regarded program."

The MPA students will have an extra research edge they will find nowhere else in the United States,

said Nigh. The state archives, which will soon be relocated to the UCO Nigh Institute of State Government, will offer the students a unique opportunity, he added.

The state archives will be housed in the newly namedDavid L. Boren State Archives Library at the Nigh Institute.

Nigh Institute Director Carl Reherman said the MPA program will be a 36-hour master's program. He said the program is expected to start with 50 students and three full-time new faculty members.

Reherman said he hopes to build the faculty to eight with up to 200 students enrolled.

"We will utilize statesmen in residence and visiting professors," said Reherman.

Subject areas of study will include disabilities management, archives and record management, city and state administration and more.

Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs at UCO, said the program is designed to meet

"Traditional students with a wide variety of backgrounds will want this degree. Also, people already involved in state and local government will want to use this degree to enhance their credentials as well as increase their career opportunities and marketability."

"Being in a metropolitan setting combined with the state archives library puts us in a unique situation to offer an outstanding program," said Jacob.

UCO students wanted as counselors for MDA University of Central Oklahoma Students that like to help people can do so by becoming a counselor for the Muscular Dystrophy Association's annual summer camp.

"Students that would like to be a counselor need to fill out an application and I will do an interview, if they are accepted then they go through our training program May 22," said Amy Anderson, patient service coordinator for MDA.

There are two summer camps, one from June 13-16, and one from July 11-16, Anderson said.

The camp is located at the Central Oklahoma Christian Camp Ground near Guthrie, and is offered free of charge to children ages 6-21 with any of the 40 neuromuscular diseases covered by MDA. Anyone interested should contact Anderson from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 722-8001.

Court rules against child LOS ANGELES (AP) — Universal Pictures has put its 11-yearold problem child, Michael Oliver, in his place.

A Superior Court jury ruled Monday that the child star of the movie "Problem Child" unfairly pried an extra $420,000 out of the studio by threatening to walk out on the eve of filming "Problem Child II." The jury said the new contract was unforceable because Univer-

sal signed it under duress.

Michael, a red-haired moppet who was 9 at the time of the dispute, had demanded and received a raise from $80,000 to $500,000. In both "Problem Child" films, he stars as a devilish child. John Ritter plays his father.

Oliver's attorney, Robert DeMarco, argued the boy is a "money machine" and deserved higher pay.

Representative goes on hunger strike WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Tony P. Hall says he lost 23 pounds during a three-week water-only fast to draw attention to world hunger and to protest the dissolution of his House committee on starvation.

"I'm going to enjoy putting back every pound," the Ohio Democrat said Monday after ending the fast.

He was 180 pounds when he started.

Forty celebrities, including Susan Sarandon, Andy Garcia, Sam Waterston and Carol Kane, gave up food on Friday to show support

for Hall.

The House abolished his Select Committee on Hunger to save money.

Hall said that as soon as his system can take it, he plans to eat "some fried chicken, maybe a nice steak, maybe some blackberry pie, mashed potatoes and gravy, shoo-fly pie, some pasta."

Aides said he started out Monday with some vegetable juice, a slice of dry toast and part of a banana.

KCSC gets back up power

By Heide Brandes

Staff Writer The new stand-by power generator for the University of Central Oklahoma radio station KCSC-FM 90.1, was made operational April 21.

The generator, located at the transmitter site on the UCO campus, will provide back up power for the station should the original power fail.

"If the electricity goes out, typically because of severe weather, or if someone runs over an electrical line, this unit will automatically provide the power," said Larry Iverson, KCSC chief engineer.

The generator is run on natural gas which was a big consideration, said Iverson.

"We chose natural gas for obvious reasons," he said. "It's a real clean fuel. We didn't want to store gas or diesel fuel because of the proximity to the football field and the tennis courts. Our concern was a good deal due to the environment."

The generator cost approximately $54,000 and was paid for

by KCSC members and listeners.

"That included the generator, the natural gas, the electrical work," said Iverson. "A big thank you goes to our listeners and supporters. It's the community who deserves the credit.

The generator has a computer to monitor and control the system as well.

KCSC is in the planning stages for other changes, said Iverson.

Relocating the station in the "new"

April 29, 1993

CNG gets second look at Earth Day

By Paul Brown Student Writer

University Center and installing a second transmitter are plans for the future.

"We've had a lot of cooperation with the administration on campus," said Iverson. "Joyce Mounce, Phillip Arnold- they did

a super job. David McClellan.

David did a hell of a job."

The system was installed by Clifford Power Systems, Inc. and is designed to provide power for up to 15 days before requiring maintenance.

April 22 was set aside to observe the Earth and for people to do their part in preserving it.

The Earth Day celebration at the University of Central Oklahoma last Thursday was no exception.

The event, that was sponsored by the Earth Day Committee and was complete with food and information booths and volleyball nets.

In addition, four bands performed for the Earth Day crowd The bands included The Wobblies, Peace Museum, Burden and Uncle Bill.

Others took in the food, fun, information, sunshine and, of course, the earth itself, as it rose to great heights during periods of strong winds. On some occasions, people could see "the Earth" (a rather large inflatable ball painted and decorated ) move about in its roped- off galaxy.

The booths provided an array of self-knowledge, from disposing of waste paper and plastic bottles, to tree seedlings and toxic waste. One of the booths that was sponsored by the UCO physical plant talked about compressed natural gas (CNG).

"CNG is put into tanks at the back of the vehicle, and most tanks hold about the equivalent of 30 gallons of gasoline," said

Don Powers. "You can get from 130 to 150 miles on one tank."

Powers said that there are about 400 to 3,000 pounds of pressure in the tanks. The hookup also comes with a gas gauge that reads like a regular gas needle in a car. A control is also installed in the vehicle so it can change from gasoline to CNG. A pressure regulator is put underneath the hood, and the CNG is fed into the carburetor by atmospheric pressure.

"CNG is a more efficient than gasoline," Powers said. "It's a higher octane (130 vs. 92 for premium unleaded), it' s a cleaner burning fuel, it has no carbon monoxides, sulfur oxides, and no particular matter, so the insides of both the engine and emissions are clean."

Powers added that the spark plugs will last up to 75,000 miles, and the vehicle can go up to 10,000 miles between oil changes.

"There are incentives for using CNG. The State of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG) will participate to reduce the cost of the conversion, so if someone is interested they need to contact them.

The cost of the conversion will be between $1,200 and $2,400 depending on the vehicle, but you can get a pay back on them from 12 months to 36 months, depending on how you drive," Powers said.
