College golfer wins Porsche

TULSA, Okla.(AP)—Duane Davis never thought that skipping his accounting class at the University of Arkansas to play in a charity golf tournament Monday would create such a financial dilemma.

Davis now must decide what to do with the $52,000 Porsche he won with an ace on the 13th hole at the Paradise Valley Country Club in Fayetteville, Ark.

He said he cannot afford the tag, title and insurance, therefore he'll likely sell the car and invest the cash. "It's probably the most unbelievable feeling that anybody could ever have," Davis said.

Cars were offered on two par-3 holes. At his first try, with a Pontiac Grand Am at stake, his tee shot landed five feet from the hole. "I said then that was as close as I would ever get to a hole-in-one for a car," Davis said. "You know, you're 21-years-old and you're looking down the road and saying 'I might get a job for $25,000 or $30,000 a year,' and all of a sudden you come into that much in five minutes."

AIDS anniversary seems bleak

ATLANTA (AP)—Last week marked the 10-year anniversary of the discovery of AIDS, a disease experts said was grossly underestimated in 1981 when it turned up as a mysterious cluster of rare pneumonia cases among male homosexuals in Los Angeles.

Today the U.S. AIDS epidemic claims more than 179,000 victims, with six out of ten dead, the national Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday.

Although AIDS-reported cases among gay men and drug abusers has slowed, the overall number in the U.S. has increased by 23 percent since 1989, said director of the CDC's AIDS-HIV division, Dr. James Curran. AIDS is now growing fastest among heterosexuals and Southerners.

AIDS in the South has increased by 30 percent, compared with 27 percent in the Northeast, 17 percent in the Midwest and 13 percent in the West. "All of us working on AIDS in '81 knew that this was a much bigger problem than was being appreciated then," Curran said. "But no one—I repeat, no one—could have predicted that 10 years later we'd have a worldwide pandemic with 157 countries reporting AIDS."

Research ban reconsidered

WASHINGTON (AP)—A Bush administration ban on using federal funds to finance research using fetal tissue from induced abortions was voted down by a House committee Tuesday,

The ban, originally imposed by the Reagan administration, has "stumped promising research" into treatments for Parkinson' s and Alzheimer's diseases, among others, said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif. and chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health.

The Bush administration continued the ban because officials said they feared fetal tissue research could result in more abortions.

Supporters of the ban said researchers have access to enough fetal tissue from spontaneous abortions and abortions performed as treatment for ectopic, or tuba', pregnancies.

Waxman said spontaneously aborted tissue is often defective and therefore unusable, and ectopic pregnancies are often emergency procedures, making them an unreliable source.

Administration officials have indicated they would recommend a veto.

More Nixon tapes revealed

WASHINGTON (AP) Out of the echoes of long-ago conversations, taped by an undiscriminating robot system, come more revelations from Richard Nixon's White House.

Some 60 hours of recordings used by Watergate prosecutors against Nixon were made public Tuesday. About one-fourth of them had yet to be heard by the outside world.

Here is the president of the United States, vintage 1973, talking with H.R. Haldeman about John Dean, his chief accuser in the then-erupting Watergate scandal. "I think he's out to save himself. He's going to play every card that he can and, a desperate man, he may want to bring the president down, too...there's no other choice (than) to fight like hell. This is an evil man."

Another point in the same conversation reveals Nixon saying, "I always wondered about that taping equipment, but I'm damn glad we have it, aren't you?"

Tuition increase awaits approval

By Kathy Karr Staff Writer

Pending approval by the State Regents for Higher Education, Central State University students may expect a 7 percent increase in general enrollment fees and tuition this fall.

Oklahoma's college and university presidents have already unanimously approved a state legislative package, which calls for a $92 million increase in funding, improvements, increases in general enrollment fees, tuition and special fees. The regents meet June 13 to decide on the proposal.

The increase will be in effect in the fall of 1991, if approved. At CSU, the cost of lower level courses will be $41.75 per credit hour, compared to the present $38.65. Upper division courses will rise from $39 to $42.50 and graduate courses will rise to $54.50, from the current $49.85.

A fee which will go into effect in January of '92 is an application fee of $15, which students will pay when they first apply to CSU, said Joyce Mounce, administration vice president. Student activity fees will increase to $4 a semester hour, and official transcripts will cost $3 per copy.

If the Regents approve the package, students enrolled for the fall semester, who have paid their tuition and fees, can expect additional bills in the mail, Mounce said. V

Section 13 funding, which comes from the federal government. "Funding has already been approved for an elevator and a ramp for the handicapped in Old North which will cost $125,000," Mounce said. "There is some unfinished space on the top floor of the music building which we are going to try and convert into classrooms and offices," Mounce said.

While Section 13 funding certainly helps with capital expenditures, it will not be enough to help with the most pressing needs of the institutions said Jeanie Edney, Oklahoma State Regent Of Higher Education communications director. V
