When push comes to shove By John Clanton
Staff Writer UCO Physical Plant employee, Antonio Acosta, was charged with interfering with a law officer in the performance of his duty and assault and battery on a
police officer after what witnesses describe as "a complete scene of physical abuse." The incident took place at the physical plant parking lot Wednesday, June 17. Parking services informed the police of a vehicle with an
excessive number of unpaid parking tickets that needed to be impounded, said UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts. "He was given ample opportunity, as I understand it, with the parking services director to clear this problem up before the
car was impounded," said Roberts. Acosta was standing in front of his truck trying to understand why he couldn't just move it, said John Hamilton, a physical plant employee.

According to the UCO Economic Impact Report, issued by the UCO Center for Urban Economic and Business Analysis, over $75 million of business assets in the Oklahoma City metro area can be attributed to the impact of UCO on local business. "As UCO spending leads to the provision of goods and services, it must also lead to the creation of assets," said Dr. Don Maxwell, professor of economics. UCO employs approximately 2,700 people producing an annual payroll of $30 million. Also, the implementation of Nigh's $52 million master plan, which began in fiscal year 1993, will generate $100 million to be spent in the metro area through 1996. The construction projects on the UCO campus will generate $34 million in payroll earnings, the report states.

Burpee, UCO vice president of development and community relations. Carolyn Wall, foundation administrative assistant, said interest from the money donated to the UCO Foundation will be used for scholarships. The newest is the Alfred P. Murrah Building Scholarship fund. Under this fund, children who were in the America's Kids or the downtown YMCA daycare centers during the April 19 bombing, or who lost parents in the bombing, would be eligible for funds, said Wall. "We're hooked up with the governor's victim data base so we can check in 20 years or so when they apply," said Wall. Also, funds for tuition, books and housing, are awarded one semester at a time, based on grade point averages and financial need, said Wall.

The balance of justice, freedom are in the public's hands
I
t's unfortunate when people see the iron fist of opression pounding on the average Joe. And it's even worse when they fear it will happen to themselves. Any abuse of sworn or lawful civic powers against the general public or the media strikes a devastating blow at our constitutional rights as Americans. Recently, the brutal arrest of Antonio Acosta pitched the weight of justice and freedom against apathetic public attitudes. When he and several witnesses failed to step on justice's teeder-todder, there was a definite imbalance of power. It's important for we the public, and our officials, to remain checked and balanced because it's a long way down when you're outweighed, outnumbered or outgunned. Every day, potential eyewitnesses and public whisleblowers watch for signs of civil disobedience, yet they see nothing at all. But tragically, when it really happens, they fail to act in a way that is appropriate to the situation. Coming forward with one's observations of public officials abusing the "powers that be" is a civic duty. An eyewitness called this office the morning of Acosta's arrest. Unfortunately, the same person, and Accosta himself, were later unavailable for interview. The words "off the record" and "don't print my name" only hurt those who hide behind their anonymity. The media can only use facts it can attribute. This protects its employees and the public from would-be wrongdoers who would use the media for their own agendas. Furthermore, facts of public record are checked and rechecked, while the media reaches out to all those known to be involved in a given situation. But, loose ends must be tied, and we as journalists want to get the facts right for all to see, hear and understand. Keeping you informed is the most important thing to any journalist and the media as a whole. And while we must do it right for the public's sake, keeping justice and freedom in balance is up to you.

Graduate student opens new channels to business opportunities in China By Heather Canann Staff Writer While creating an ideal business opportunity, a UCO student, with the help of Dr. Byung Jung, assistant professor of history and geography, opened channels to China for other students to follow. Charles Winwood, graduate student of history, left Sunday for China to teach American history, American culture, American language and possibly American geography at Jiamusi Teacher's College in Heilongjiang Province. Winwood will continue to work with the history and geography department to finish his master's program while he is in China. Winwood and Jung agree that the Chinese are going to become the largest economic power in 10 to 20 years. By developing a mutual understanding of U.S. culture, Chinese businessmen will be able to improve public relations and trade with the U.S., said Winwood. The Chinese want better transportation, communication and computer technology. They would

Oneizime, a 5-10 guard, was considered one of the top junior college guards in Texas while playing at Lee College, said Seward. Porter is a 6-2 guard from East Central (Mo.) JC whose rebounding and versatility was coveted by the Bronchos. The lone forward to sign is 67 Torrius Fisher of State Fair (Mo.) CC. Expected to be a defensive stopper, he is capable of guarding both perimeter and inside players, said Seward. Factor, a 6-0 guard from Edmond North, also starred in track and field and cross country. "I like his quickness and athletic ability, but he's really a winner also," said Seward. "We're still looking at five others. We've got to get a power player or two and another shooter, so we're probably three players away from filling our needs," said Seward

Five basketball players have already signed letters of intent to attend UCO, but the Broncho coaching staff is still looking to add three more prospects. UCO has received commitments from J.J. Moore, Marcus Oneizime, Eric Porter, Torrius Fisher and David Factor. Moore, a 6-3 guard who played at Indian Hills (Iowa) CC, comes from Bridgeport, Conn.—like former Bronchos Alex Wright and Malcolm Leak. "That's part of how he got here," said Seward. "He understands that we've been successful with some good players from his hometown." Moore's AAU coach claims he is better than Wright, the 1993 national player of the year, said UCO assistant coach Rod Wright.
Sports Editor With football season still more than two months away, UCO has been selected to finish fourth in the Lone Star Conference race this fall. "I'm pleased from the standpoint that it's a tough league and we're playing some awful good football teams," said UCO head football coach Gary Howard. "But the poll is kind of a fun thing and it really doesn't mean a whole lot." The annual pre-season survey of LSC coaches, sports information directors, journalists and athletic directors picked Texas A&M-Kingsville to win the conference for the fourth year in a row. The Javelinas received 29 of 32 first-place votes and 506 total points. "I don't know if anybody in the league is closing the gap on Kingsville," said Howard. "They've got a pretty good hold on some areas in south Texas in terms of recruiting so they're always a consistently good football team with a lot of great players." Behind the Javelinas, Angelo State was picked second with 438 points and East Texas State was third with 334. UCO gained 284 points and were followed by Eastern New Mexico, Abilene Christian, West Texas A&M and Tarleton State. The Bronchos open practice Aug. 9 in preparation for their Sept. 2 opener at Mesa State (Colo.). UCO returns 12 starters and 32 lettermen from last season's team that finished 6-3-1 and 23-1 (third) in the LSC.

"The female officer put her hands on his chest and pushed him," said Hamilton. "After he was pushed, he got into his truck." Police Chief Roberts said "the police officers used necessary force in order to subdue Acosta," who allegedly shoved one police officer and put up a fight during the arrest. "He refused to get out of his vehicle so we had to extract him," said Roberts. Hamilton said, "It was my assumption that he got in the truck to take it out of gear."
"As soon as his rear end hit the seat, the officers grabbed him and pushed his face into the concrete," said Hamilton. The police impounded Acosta's truck, and took him to the Oklahoma County jail, and charges were filed, said Roberts. Although Acosta spent several days in St. Anthony's Hospital, he only complained of a small backache when charges were filed. Acosta, who was reached at St. Anthony's Hospital, was unable to give an interview. "I believe in my heart that Tony was singled out to be har-
rassed," said Hamilton. In a letter to his employees, Physical Plant Director Larry Rankin, who arrived at the scene, said "it was impossible to bring calm to the area." Rankin also said in the letter, "Your actions were interpreted that you were insubordinate to the request I made and the police officers felt they were being treated in a threatening manner." Rankin was unavailable for comment. Acosta is currently on indefinite suspension with pay until a further investigation can be made, said Hamilton.
In addition to faculty and staff contributions, the foundation board raised $300,000 in cash and pledges this spring. The "Campaign UCO" goal is to raise $4.5 million in the next 18 months, said Hughes. The focus of the campaign has now shifted to the Edmond
community, Oklahoma City, the UCO alumni, foundations and corporations and friends of the university, said Hughes. "I think people believe in the university. We provide real value to the community," she said.
CAMPAIGN continued from front page are chosen by the departments, said Wall. Dr. Nancy Hughes, executive director of the UCO foundation, said funds earmarked for specific scholarships to be given away immediately will be placed in checking accounts.

Early detection key to cancer survival Studies show breast cancer risks can be controlled by knowing your body By Paisley Krout Staff Writer Second only to lung cancer as a leading cause of death among women, breast cancer cases have increased in the last 30 years, while the mortality rate holds steady. Increased political attention over the last five years put breast cancer into the spotlight and, as a result, has increased research, said Dr. Susan Love, author of "The Breast Book." Mammographies and selfexaminations are essential to early detection of lumps in breast tissue. Other preventative steps include eating a low-fat, well-balanced meals with lots of

combating breast cancer are first, doing self-breast exams monthly starting at 18. Knowing your own breasts is important so that you can spot any changes as soon as possible," said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, registered nurse and interim director of the UCO Student Health Center. "After 35 years of age, a yearly mammogram is absolutely necessary." According to the Oklahoma Foundation For Peer Review, Inc., it is estimated that at least half of the deaths caused by breast cancer could have been prevented through early detection. The chances of developing breast cancer increase with age. Most cases are found in women ages 35 and older. Other high risk groups include women whose close relatives have a history of breast cancer, women who have their first child after age 30 or have never had a child. Women who have a lump in their breast or nipple discharge should see a doctor.
