FBI grills graduate after OKC bombing

By Marta McCloskey Exclusive interview to The Vista A UCO graduate who was suspected of the April 19 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building said the ordeal has left his family hurt and his rights violated.

Abraham Ahmad, who graduated from UCO in 1990, said the FBI questioned him for five to six hours in Chicago the day of the bombing.

"After they had questioned me, apologized to me and let me go—I was arrested later in London and detained for another five to six hours," he said.

During his detainment in London, the authorities handcuffed Ahmad, then publicly walked him through the airport and refused him food.

Early retirement included in cost-cutting ideas

By Marta McCloskey

Staff Writer Cost-cutting options being considered by a campus task force would encourage senior faculty to retire early, replacing them with less experienced, lower ranking teachers.

The early retirement incentive program and the creation of a lecturer position, similar to an instructor, were just two of the 60 to 70 ideas being discussed by the Academic Management Task Force, said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs.

"No decisions have been made, and I don't anticipate any decisions to be made in the near future," he said.

Jacob said his role in the committee was that of an adviser, and the ideas would be evaluated before any recommendations to President George Nigh were made.

"These will simply be recommendations for the president to review. I will not make recommendations that we do this... I will simply give him a list of ideas and the implications of those ideas," he said.

Jacob said the president does not want to

act on the retirement incentive program yet.

"A retirement incentive program was one of the items that we've discussed and in fact, I've also discussed it with the president, who's suggested that we put a hold on it— primarily because we haven't been able to do a full cost-analysis...." he said.

Nevertheless. Jacob said the retirement incentive idea will remain on the list.

The idea of creating, a lecturer position had been suggested, but that is on hold too.

These ideas had been "kicked around, but were essentially a dead issue and

However. to some, these ideas are significant.

"The desire the administration seems to be expressing with kicking this idea around is that they can trim the cost of employing teachers at our university," said Dr. Stephen C. Law. chairperson/associate professor of humanities and philosophy.

Former reporter criticizes news coverage

Bad ideas...

T

he list of 60 or 70 cutback ideas under evaluation by the Academic Task Force includes suggestions that could cut the quality of education offered at

UCO. Two of the ideas on the list would offer senior faculty early retirement as well as replace seasoned faculty with faculty without doctorates who have had little or no experience.

Is this right?

When businesses start cutting corners by cutting out their experienced employees and replacing them with uncultivated ones, they have higher turnover, little room for advancement, bad morale and communication, eventually resulting in failure.

Just like a good business, the Academic Management Task Force should strike these ideas from its list.

The committee has not recommended anything to Nigh yet, but is still keeping the ideas on the list for evaluation.

Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, said Nigh does not want to act on the ideas yet because the committee has not done a full cost-analysis of the ideas.

Simply put, these are bad ideas that would tear down morale and reinstate the negative reputation UCO once. had. (Remember "Broncho High?") Maybe that is the real reason why Nigh wanted to put a hold on it...

Charles D. Johnson, assistant vice president of personnel/payroll, said early retirement and the lecturer position were dead issues and would not take place next year.

If these are dead issues (and bad ideas), then why is the Task Force keeping them on the list?

Would the administration act on them in the future?

Dr. Stephen Law, professor of humanities, said the market for getting quality professors is promising because there is an abundance of PhDs looking for a good home, like UCO. Why should students pay more in tuition and receive less in quality?

The Academic Management Task Force should start looking into different ways to cut. For instance, they could trim costs at the administrative level as the Regents have ordered.

s a former news reporter, I have usully admired The Vista university newspaper— until recently when I was appalled upon reading your recent page-one "news story" about the state proposal to legalize the carrying of concealed firearms.

One of the canons of journalism is to be objective in news reporting, and the story was a classic violation of that principle. For the most part, it was blatantly partial and unfair, reading nearly as much like an editorial as the text on page two that was under the proper heading.

For one thing, the first few

paragraphs of the story, in effect, said the proposal was causing commotion and debate among both employees and "students" in UCO—yet these statements were totally unsupported in the entire report, as not one student was quoted anywhere in the story.

The story would at least have had the appearance of an impartial report if it had said something like, "according to an informal survey of both faculty and students . . . ," and then given some quotations from both groups, regardless of which side the quotes favored.

It's your right to take whatever editorial stand you wish on

this or any other issue, of course, but it's your journalistic duty to keep your opinions out of news stories—but surely no students at UCO have been told this by their teachers already.

It's understandable how such a story could have been written by some naive little girl who believes guns are evil carte blanche—but I believe any editor of a university newspaper should know the difference between news copy and editorial copy.

—Jim Etter UCO student

Student stresses importance of timeliness

A

s a student of UCO, we have a lot of ights and duties. I am writing because of one of our duties, which is about lateness.

During school hours, we can see some students who are always late for the lecture. I do not want to take care of those

late students, but I want to take care of the lecture.

Unfortunately, late students may interrupt the lecture. I think we have a duty to be on time for the lecture, and we also have a right to protect our lectures from late students' interruptions.

Therefore, I hope all UCO

students are on time for the lectures, and I wish to make a rule to late students for protection of our lectures.

Construction, parking woes lamented bout two weeks ago, the issue about lack of unds struck UCO. In The Vista, it is stated clearly that UCO has been rated the only higher education school that received the lowest funds from the State Legislature. Everybody started to grunt with dissatisfaction and planned to fight for an increase.

However, if we are willing to inspect our own school, we will be likely to find out the least possibility of getting an increase in funds due to a few obstacles.

Let's take a look at our construction, which is supposed to polish up the school into a beauty with extra buildings. However, instead of making an improvement, it added to the gloomy scene of the school with all the rattle noises that occur because of the vehicles and equipment at the construction site.

Also, during the winter, small ponds have evolved and the ground was completely covered by mud.

As a result, students and staff had difficulties getting to the

buildings; thus, they had no choice but to step their feet into the wet and sticky mud.

Subsequently, we noticed mud sprang all over the university's buildings like a germ; especially the ones near the construction site.

As if it is not enough, the construction added to the problem of inconvenience. Last time, we used to walk from one building to another in a comfortably short time. Now, under the construction, we were forced to make a detour which was sometimes twice as far and took a longer time. Also, the issue about the hiring freeze had been a bothersome problem.

On top of all that, parking problems had occurred, mainly the one at the Lillard Administration Building, which was still under construction.

Students were confused to find parking spaces. It's crowded, especially during this week of enrollment.

People tumbled down to enroll; then we were forced to park the car illegally at the nearby stores such as Thompson Book

Store, Pizza Time or along the roadside with the fearful feeling of being towed away and getting an additional gift—a ticket. Yes, there are student parking spaces, but they are very small and barely enough to absorb enough cars. We tried to wait, but found out numbers of cars already lining up for the spaces. A few took the chance to park at the faculty staff area with the risk of being gifted with tickets.

In fact, we had no intention to do it, but it was due to the desperation only.

So, before we start to lodge a complaint, we should first try to inspect ourselves wisely and fix everything. Then, we will be eligible to complain. However, I took notice that the Bronchos had been sleeping a lot during the wintertime.

Fortunately, summer season is just ahead of us, and it is definitely time for us to wake up and recover.

Construction projects 'wrapped up' soon?

By Cynthia Chung Staff Writer Students, staff and faculty may welcome the news that when they return to the university this fall, they are less likely to have to navigate their way through mud and puddles to get to classes or work.

"Nobody likes the mud, dirt and the fences, but I think the students, staff and faculty—the majority of them, at least—are pretty understanding. They know that in the end it will be something unique and special, and they all just want to get through. I just want to get through," said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president of Administration/ Special Projects.

Here is a list of construction projects (completed or pending completion): Central plant loop wrapped up by August 15 "The ditches will be covered, new sidewalks will be in place and there will be new lighting," said Widener.

An extension will also link the Communication Building to its annex. Bids for these two buildings will be open to contractors in a couple of weeks, said Widener.

The absence of signs to redirect pedestrians and drivers from a construction area is an issue that has been addressed.

Widener said the revised bid specifications now require that advance notice be given to the administration so it can inform the school body in time.

"It will be the contractors' responsibility to put up the signs," said Widener.

Nigh, Clinton fight to keep student loans UCO President George Nigh agreed with President Bill Clinton's statement that student loan defaults were wrong.

Clinton told educators that the Republicans in Congress are trying to eliminate in-school interest subsidy (student loans), because of the large amount of defaults at the 77th Annual American Council on Education Feb. 14 in San Francisco, Calif.

"This Department of Education (under Clinton's administration) has gotten tougher on enforcing laws against default ... and the default rate has

dropped by one-third," said Clinton.

Clinton said the Republican proposal would mean paying higher interest rates for 4.5 million college students.

According to a document prepared by the White House Press Secretary's office, ending this subsidy would add $3,150 in interest to a $17,125 four-year loan.

This strategy would add 20 percent to the average cost of going to college for some of the nation's poorest students, Clinton said.

The White House Press Secretary document stated 78,788 Oklahoma college students would be affected by the increase in the student loan interest.

"We should not be looking at ways to discourage people from attending college," said Nigh.

Clinton said he would not endorse the Republican proposal; in fact he would fight it every step of the way.

"The fight for education is the fight for the American dream. It is the fight for America's middle class. It is the fight for the 21st century," said Clinton.

smoke, there's a fire—and the media, 'How would they know about me?' Someone must have said something," he said.

"The media started all of this...

I can't believe the stuff they wrote about me like, 'It (terrorism) must be something from the Middle East,"' he said.

Ahmad said all the media attention has affected his family emotionally.

"My wife had to go into hiding after it came out on the news.

There were people driving by the house shouting obscenities."

He said no one here in Oklahoma has provided counseling for his family.

"My wife always tells me to be careful before I leave the house, because she worries that someone may not have watched the news when they announced it wasn't me," he said.

Ahmad in Washington Ahmad said he went to Washington D.C. last week to testify against a bill that, if passed, would deport foreigners who were suspected of terrorist activity.

Ahmad said if it had not been for the fact that he was a citizen, he

could have been deported.

"If I didn't have citizenship, I would be deported from this country just because they questioned me about what happened," he said.

Ahmad said he is consulting with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Washington D.C. about his violation of rights.

ACLU has also provided him free legal counsel and have advised him not to talk to anyone about the incident, he said.

"I'm a U.S. citizen. That is why they are interested in my case. But it shouldn't matter what citizen you are, you are human. However, it is even more insulting to me because I'm a U.S. citizen."

Community Response Ahmad said CNN broadcasted a public apology by Gov. Keating to him, and he recorded it.

He also said the community has supported him by sending cards and flowers and stopping by the house.

"You know, it's not important for me to hear an apology. What is important is that we learn a lesson from this, because what happened to me could happen to anybody from the Middle East. 24 Hour Number 560-0388

Muslim student also questioned by FBI Over 900 jailed in anti-crime raid LONDON (AP) — Police raided 1,500 homes and arrested more than 900 people Tuesday in what London's chief called one of the largest anti-crime crackdowns ever in Britain.

The sweep involved about 5,000 police officers throughout England and Wales.

"What we are trying to show today is that there is no hiding place for the burglar," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Condon told a news conference at Scotland Yard.

The police chief said officers seized a trove of stolen property, "everything from firearms through to garden gnomes," the elfish figurines that many Britons use as outdoor decorations.

Officers also took DNA samples from many suspects, using their hair, saliva or cells scraped from inside their cheeks. The information will be stored along with that of other suspects nationwide, and police believe the databank may turn up links to unsolved crimes.

Officer given death by firing squad GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A Palestinian court sentenced a policeman to death by firing squad after convicting him of killing a fellow policeman.

It was the first death sentence handed out by a court in the self-rule area since autonomy began in May 1994.

Maj. Ibrahim Hajhoucl, who headed a three-member panel of police officers, passed the sentence on Sgt. Taher Fares. 28.

He has two weeks to appeal the sentence to a higher court.

Fares pleaded guilty to killing Sgt. Nasser al-Dughma. 25. in the Sheik Ijlein area south of Gaza City last Saturday. He said he killed him because he wanted to take his weapon to use the money to pay a debt and get married.

"If we do not start controlling our military, how will we be able to control the civilians?" said Col. Saeb Kuudra, the head of police courts. "They have to be punished so they can be a lesson to the others. -

Publication offer may 'save lives NEW YORK (AP) — Magazine publisher Bob Guccione said he would publish the Unabomber's manifesto and put his public relations team behind the effort - in order to save lives.''

Guccione. chairman of General Media International, which publishes Penthouse and Omni magazines, urged the mailbomb terrorist in an open letter to "contact me at your earliest convenience."

In a letter to The New York Times last week, the alleged bomber promised to stop his 17-year reign of terror if a major media outlet published his 29,000-word plus manifesto.

"I am making one or several of my magazines available to publicize your message," Guccione wrote in his open letter, which was faxed to The Associated Press. "We could publish your entire manuscript at one time, or as you suggest, we could serialize it over two to three months.

"Furthermore," Guccione said, "I would dedicate our entire public relations operation to help publicize your message. Officials say the Unabomber has killed three people and wounded 23 others with package bombs in attacks dating back to 1978. He struck last on April 20, killing a timber industry lobbyist in Sacramento, Calif.

Met opera sued for discrimination NEW YORK (AP) — A former assistant stage director has sued the Metropolitan Opera, claiming she was fired because she is a heterosexual woman over 40.

Martha Ellen Brennan accuses the Met of permitting a hostile work environment to develop while she worked there from 1990 to 1993.

Brennan said Met executives permitted numerous pictures of nude young men to be displayed in the offices. Her lawsuit alleges that David Kneuss, the Met's executive stage director, discriminated against Brennan "because she was over 40 and not homosexual or bisexual and was a woman."

Brennan, 48, was hired in 1986. She was fired by Met General Director Joseph Volpe after she protested the display of the pictures in February 1993, the lawsuit claims.

Met spokesman David Reuben would not comment.

The lawsuit was filed last week in federal court in Manhattan. Brennan is seeking reinstatement to her job, back wages and unspecified punitive damages.

When he heard about the bombing downtown, UCO student Syed Alam, a Muslim from Bangladesh, never thought he would become an FBI suspect.

"I wasn't afraid until later that night when the FBI came to my house and asked me many questions," Alam said.

Earlier that day, Alam said he and three friends drove into Oklahoma City to see the darnaged building and to offer help.

However, they had to leave because the police had already put up road blocks, and they couldn't get near the building.

Alam does not know how the FBI found him, but thinks they may have tracked him by his car

license plate.

The FBI arrived around 9 p.m., said Alam. "They were banging the door real hard. I was really afraid and shaking."

Although he was really afraid,

Alam said there were no hard feelings.

"I didn't mind, they were really nice. I realize it is just part of their job.

"My main complaint is that they should have come up with something more positive.

"In this country, Muslims are a minority person. We know that we have to face these things...all I ask is they should find out first what really happened," he said.

COST-CUTTING continued from front page

Negative consequences would result if these ideas were ever put into policy, he said.

"The creation of the lecturer position is perhaps cost expedient and would be an attempt to solve our economic problems in a way that has long-term implications," Law said.

"The vitality and worth of our programs is dependent upon having the best minds available for students," he said.

However, bringing lecturers instead of assistant professors to replace retiring UCO faculty

would be undercutting the most important reason why the faculty exists—providing not just a good education to students, but a better one, Law said.

The university should be doing the best it can, in terms of the services it provides to the students of Oklahoma, and not merely trying to get by, he said.

Also, if students have to pay more tuition, then they should receive a quality education, Law said.

The political science department would not benefit from the lecturer position, said Dr. Drew

Mason, professor of political science.

Jacob said he is apprehensive about the faculty jumping to any conclusions regarding early retirement or the lecturer position.

"My only concern is that I would not want to mislead people to think that this is something that's eminent," Jacob said.

"You have to look at a lot of things and then look at the potential negative implication on the university and academic programs, and then you weed out those issues that have negative implications."

In UCO's final game, the Lady Bronchos lost to Mankato State 10-2 the day before they were scheduled to play in the Morningside Invitational in Sioux City, Iowa last weekend.

The ninth-ranked Bronchos are hoping to be one of 17 teams invited to the four-day, 72-hole tournament to be played May 16-19 in Aiken, S.C. UCO has finished in the top five in seven of 10 tournaments during the 1994-95 season, winning one title and finishing second in three other tournaments.

Netters host regional UCO men seeded 2nd; women snubbed

By Rachel Schnitzer

Sports Writer The Cenral Oklahoma men's tennis team will host and play in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional at KickingBird Tennis Center this weekend.

The Lady Bronchos were not ranked high enough to be invited to the Regional Tournament but will host the women's Midwest Regional, also at KickingBird.

The sixth-ranked Bronchos, 7-7 in duals, head into the regional as the second seed, and square off against the third-seeded Buffaloes of West Texas A&M in the first round on Friday.

"The last time we played West Texas we beat them 4-3, so that will be a very close match," head coach Francis Baxter said.

"I think we can win it."

The Bronchos' Charles Bornman, a 6-foot-5 freshman from Bloemfontein, South

Africa, is the top-ranked men's player in the region and half of the UCO's second-seeded doubles team.

"Our number one player (Bornman) has taken over the number one position in the region," Baxter said. "He is considered to be the best player, the best individual."

Junior Brown teams up with Bornman in doubles and is UCO's No. 2 singles player.

"Our doubles team is considered to be number two in the region, so that's quite good," said Baxter.

Freshman Alan Harris is UCO's No. 3 singles player and teams with junior college transfer Thomas Park for doubles competition.

Daniel Akin, the only returning player from last year, will be the No. 6 singles player and team up with Sean Stuart in doubles.

"We'd play Southern Illinois, probably, in the finals of the regional," Baxter said. "They are ranked ahead of us. I think we have the talent to certainly compete and be right in the match with them."

Bronchos disappointed with '95 baseball season

By Scott Moore

Sports Writer

The pressure of being a pre-season champion is a tough burden to bear, just ask the 1995 Central Oklahoma baseball team.

With 11 starters, including seven first-team All-Lone Star Conference players, back from last year's 39-14 team, the Bronchos were tabbed as pre-season favorites to repeat as LSC champions with even greater glories on the horizon.

But the 1995 campaign is now in the books, and a 27-25 final season record and a 12-13 conference record (third) spells out disappointment.

"We've had some rough times and had some heartaches and some injuries this season," said head coach Wendell Simmons. "A lot things didn't go right for us and some situations didn't work out right. But a lot of

those things are uncontrolable.

"And as close as this group was and all the success that we had last season, in those respects it has been a disappointing season."

Last year, the Bronchos won the LSC title and advanced to the final of the South Central Regional tournament before being eliminated by Delta State. The '94 Bronchos left their mark in the UCO record book and Simmons was named LSC coach of the year.

The '95 Bronchos started out in the right direction by posting a 7-0 record and being ranked as high as fourth in the nation. But in their next eight games the Bronchos went 4-4 and then a road swing through Mississippi and Alabama during spring break saw the Bronchos lose five of six games, dropping their record to 12-9.

A 1-4 showing against Texas

A&M-Kingsville to open LSC play at the end of March followed by a 0-5 performance against Tarleton State sunk the Bronchos to their lowest point at 15-20.

"We just aren't displaying any heart or guts at this point," said Simmons after the Kingsville series.

"I think our guys are feeling the pressure of trying to repeat last year's success and their scared they're going to lose. We've got all kinds of talent but we're choking it up."

The Bronchos finished up strong, winning 12 of their final 17 games to finish with their third winning record in the last four years.

"I'm proud of the fact that even though we were struggling and had a losing record and a couple of key pitchers hurt we were able to pull together and avoid something even more disastrous and accomplish a winning record," said Simmons. X D

Women recruits sign with Central Oklahoma

By Scott

Moore

Sports Writer Spring is the beginning of recruiting season and several Central Oklahoma teams have signed some standout high school and junior college talent.

Women's head basketball coach John Keely, looking to improve last year's dismal 10-17 finish, signed four high school players and one junior college transfer.

The Lady Bronchos signed 61 center Alisha Bright (El Reno), 5-3 guard Shanna Lott (Plano, Texas), 5-9 forward Mary Rhodes (Moore), guard Kelly Seikel (Yukon) and 5-8 guard Christy Bailey (Medford) of Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College.

Bright led Class 4A in rebounds with 10.7 a game last season. She also averaged 15.6 points per game. Rhodes led

Class 5A last season with 150 steals while averaging 16.0 points per game. Lott averaged 10.1 points per game and 6.0 assists while Seikel averaged 16.5 points per game. Bailey averaged 11.7 points and 5.4 rebounds as a sophomore at Coffeyville.

Volleyball head coach Mark Herrin, coming off a 32-5, Lone Star Conference championship season, has signed four high school standouts.

The Lady Bronchos signed Adriana Crovador (Jenks) and Arwin Schneider (Oklahoma City) and middle blockers

Amber Bateman (Sherman, Texas) and Nikki Wash (Arlington, Texas).

With the loss of Angie Schoof, the Lady Bronchos top priority was to sign replacements at the middle blocker position and they were able to get their top two choices, Bateman and Wash, said Herrin.

As a senior. the 5-11 Bateman was the Offensive Player of the Year in her district, averaging 10 kills and five aces a match.

The 5-10 Wash had an attack percentage of .333 as a senior and led her team at Martin High

Crovador and Schneider, both 5-7, were both Oklahoma AllState picks while Schneider earned Little All-City MVP honors at Christian Heritage Academy. Crovador collected 249 kills as a senior.

Wash. Schneider and Crovador are expected to redshirt their freshman seasons.

UCO softball coach Gerry Pinkston inked four Oklahoma products.

The Lady Bronchos signed second baseman Nikki Collins (Bartlesville), catcher/outfielder Staci Dickerson (Sperry), shortstop Chasidy Horton (Prue) and catcher Ericka Stout (Ponca City) from Crowder (Kan.) Community College.

Dickerson and Horton were All-State selections last season while Collins was All-Conference and an All-Region pick.

Stout was an All-State selection in 1993 and has started the last two years at Crowder.

The following is a list of events taking place in the metro area for the weekend of May 5-7.

Music Ratings: Reviews are set up on a five-point rating scale: * Five is the highest rating possible and one is the lowest.

Rhino releases 9-year-old soundtrack Almost 10 years ago, Sonic Youth was hired to write the entire soundtrack to a movie entitled Made In USA.

Rating:

The movie was released in 1986, but the CD was just released on Rhino Records.

The CD, appropriately entitled Made In USA, is a 23-track CD with songs from the movie, as well as songs that were written for the movie but were not used.

Most of the songs move rather slowly and sound eerie, as songs from a movie should.

There are very few songs that even contain words.

Without the slightly off-key

Sonic Youth Made in USA

singing by Thurston Moore, which is such a big part of the Sonic Youth aura, the record just isn't the same as the other S.Y. CDs. However, this CD does have its advantages.

Some songs on this CD such as "Tuck N Dar," bring out the best of Sonic Youth.

Sonic Youth demonstrates that they can still play the driving songs they've always played, but in a laid-back manner and with just the right amount of feedback.

Predictably enough, this CD doesn't sound like most Sonic Youth CDs. Yet, it was obviously approached in a more musical and more mature manner.

Fans of S.Y. will more than likely enjoy it, as will people who enjoyed the movie.
