Jill Kelsey, APR (Accredited Public Relations) is the newest addition to the journalism department . at UCO. Kelsey will be teaching Introduction to Advertising, Principles of Public Relations, and Public Relations Case Studies in the fall. Kelsey isn't a stranger to UCO. She has been an adjunct professor at UCO for the last five years. Kelsey taught Public Information Methods her first year and Principles of Public Relations for the last four years. With her Kelsey brings vast experience from the public relations field. She has been involved in everything from print journalism and to non profit freelance public relations.

enthusiasm. "There is a great commitment between the students and the faculty at UCO. The professors are on-campus and are accessible to students," said Kelsey. "There is such a wide range of ages here at UCO. Every single class develops its own personality." In addition to real-world experience, Kelsey's educational background is strong. She has a masters in both Journalism and Mass Communication and Educational Technology, plus a bachelors degree in Journalism from the University of Oklahoma. "I knew I wanted to teach journalism and that desktop publishing was the way journalism was heading, so Educational Technology fits in very well," said Kelsey. So far, she will not formally
be sponsoring any organizations in the journalism department. However, Kelsey is currently secretary of the Oklahoma City PRSA (Public Relations Society of America). She is also active in IABC (International Association of Business Communicators) and is looking forward to getting students interested too.

Dating: Double standards on the decline among the sexes By Jonathan Koelsch
Guest Writer Do double standards exist between men and women regarding dating? Many men and women seem to think so. For instance, is it socially unacceptable for a woman to ask a man out? Dr. Kaye Sears, professor and coordinator of the family and child develpoment program at UCO stated that many people in her marriage class think that standards are changing. Though, the majority of students in her class are single. "Many of the women say they wouldn't have a problem asking a man out,"

Sears said. "Women are paying for the date in some cases." Whitney Wheeler, a senior psychology major at UCO asked an acquaintance out on a date during high school. "I really enjoyed it. I took him out and paid for everything," she said. "I think sometimes a guy needs a girl to take control....When a woman experiences asking a man out, she can sympathize because she realizes what a man goes through."

Philips University in Enid, and a summer UCO student, was asked out by a girl recently. "I liked it. For once, it was nice to know all I had to say was yes or no," he said. Dr. Robert Doan, professor of psychology at UCO said that there is a double standard to some degree. "Some call an outgoing man `assertive' and an outgoing woman a 'bitch,'" he said. "The social double standard puts

men in a superior position. In the 80s and 90s those issues have been brought into question with movements like feminism. " Another relative notion is the belief that men who sleep around are considered "studs", but women are considered "sluts". Streets was familiar with this notion. "I don't agree with it, though. I think men can 11 be sluts too." 3 "In the society we live in we've formed this image...of what the ideal
male or female should look like, act like and be like and we try to squeeze ourself into that mold," said Wheeler. "For men a symbol of the ultimate 'maleness' may be the number of notches on his bed post, while for a woman that is considered a `slutty' action. We (women) are supposed to be sensitive, reserved and not get dirt under our fingernails." Streets said, "Why don't women treat promiscuous men with the same disgust as they do other promiscuous women? Girls are perpetuating the double standard on their own sex," Doan agreed. "They (women) do perpetuate the standard. I don't think they do it willWee STANDARDS, Page 4

THE VISTA I EDITORIAL
Relational rebound no answer to a happier life when romance fails good friend of mine got a divorce last summer and remarried a couple weekends ago. I alked to her after the wedding and noticed her voice lacked passion. The image of a runaway bus in the movie, "Speed," reminded me of my friend. The only way she could forget her pain was to find a new man, a replacement as fast as she could. My friend is an attractive, successful businesswoman who believes she has failed many times in matters of love. It is true that when we hurt, we aren't as rational. Our feelings are raw. But, until we are over the last relationship, we probably won't make very good decisions or be a good partner to someone new. Psychologists believe that when we talk about a relationships, good and bad, and think about it without bitterness or sadness, we are ready to move on. To avoid falling for someone on the rebound there are tell-tale signs. If they discuss the relationship on a first date and express anger or still look starry-eyed, you can bet they are not over the last relationship. Psychologists also say those on the rebound may sabotage a new relationship in an effort to be back with their old mate by making comparisons and proving no one is equal to their "ex." Also, relationships that end without closure are bound to leave both partners with intense pain and unfinished business. Psychologists recommend that new singles use this time to do things they enjoy or have never tried. I think my friend wishes she had done just that.

New book sheds light on the dating scene By Joy McNutt Staff Writer I feel like I have butterflies in my stomach, my heart flutters and I can feel myself blushing whenever I'm near him. He takes my breath away. Does this mean I'm in love? How can I be reasonably sure I've found the right mate? Why does everyone I meet seem to be on their second marriage? No subject seems to be so fraught with confusion and misconception as love and pairing. In his new book The Ultimate Way to Match People With People, UCO Psychology Professor Charles M. Whipple provides some clarity to questions about love. "Falling in love is a physical phenomenon," Whipple said. "Nature wants to create babies." Whipple's book states that for those who are inexperienced or unaware, any emotion whether positive or negative is effective in inducing "love," because it induces physical arousal. He mentioned that anthropologist Helen E. Fisher stated in her book "Anatomy of Love," the chemical responsible for attraction is phenylethylamine (PEA). People can easily misinterpret this physical arousal as love if romantic cues are present, such as a full moon, Whipple's book stated. Sexual attraction gets people to sit down long enough to talk, Whipple said. The second step, called social penetration, is getting to know each other including inadequacies and worries. "Social penetration is kind of like peeling an onion back," Whipple said. "...eventually you get down to the core of the person . " If the individuals still accept and like one another, this creates emotional dependence and perhaps love, he said. In that case, the individuals have probably found they are alike in some ways: socioeconomic class, education, intelligence, aesthetic preference, interests and values. This similarity promotes emotional security because it makes people feel good about

themselves, he said. However, ultimately the choice of marriage partner is more likely to be based on opposite personality needs, Whipple said. For example, someone who has a strong need for dominance would be likely to choose a partner who has a need to yield. Whipple said psychologists define romantic love as the emotion felt toward another who meets important needs or manifests highly valued characteristics. "If love is based on needs, the person needs to know what the needs are," Whipple said. Included in Whipple's book is a compatibility test on a computer disc which can assess those needs. Whipple said many Americans believe in the romantic myth of an ideal marriage. However, research indicates real marriage is not necessarily an unbridled, happy, emotionally fulfilling experience, except perhaps during the first few years. During this "honeymoon" stage, Fisher's book stated that couples are sustained by an infatuation high for two or three years. After that time, either the brain can no longer tolerate this continually "revved-up" state, or the nerve endings become exhausted, and exhilaration wanes, Fisher said. Citing psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz's 1983 study, Fisher stated the brain then kicks in endorphins which calm the mind and induce attachment. Fisher theorized that at some point, the brain becomes overloaded or desensitized to endorphins, and the attachment wanes leading to separation and divorce. Do couples give up too easily? Whipple said that some psychologists insist that terminated marriages do not differ substantially from those that are lasting. Approximately 50 percent of first marriages in the United
States end in divorce, Whipple said. Also, 60 percent of second marriages and 70 percent of third and subsequent marriages are dissolved. Another popular myth is that of the romantic divorce. Whipple said divorcing couples mistakenly expect to enjoy new-found freedom, self-discovery and new relationships. Often they experience trauma. Whipple said in his book that most people find the singleagain lifestyle disappointing. Five out of six men and three out of four women remarry within three years of divorce. "America is very polygamous," Whipple said. "We just have our spouses one at a time." "People are genetically programmed to divorce every four years," Whipple said, referring to Fisher's book. Debunking the "seven-year itch" myth, Whipple said in the United States, it is more like two and one half or three years. "There is very little social resistance to that (divorce) anymore," he said. Another reason people get divorced is that their needs or values change over time. Whipple gave an example of a couple who were both altruistic when they were young. But after they were married several years, the man became increasingly interested in money. They grew apart because his values changed. So the outlook seems bleak for long marriages. However, a closer look reveals that as people age, they become less and less likely to divorce. Of the 50 percent of first marriages that end in divorce, 40 percent stay married their second time around. Also, of those who divorce again and remarry, 30 percent stay married, raising the numbers of people staying married.. Fisher noted in her book that in America the divorce risk is highest during peak childbearing

She also noted that across the world, the more children a couple have, the more likely they are to stay married. Whipple teaches a psychology course spring semesters called Loving and Liking. He has taught at UCO for 26 years, and holds doctorate degrees in theology, psychology and litera-
ture. His 1972 doctoral dissertation was on marriage compatibility counseling. He has published ten books, three on pairing behavior. Married once and divorced, he has grown children and grandchildren who live in Edmond. Whipple said he has never remarried. "I haven't found the right opposite, yet," he said.

STANDARDS continued from front page ingly or men either," Doan said. Streets believes women have more at stake biologically because of pregnancy. "If I were a woman, I would treat sex with more seriousness than as a man," he said. Sears also agreed, "There is still a double-standard in relation to it being okay for a woman to sleep around and not a man. "Dating has changed compared to my time. Women are more sexually expressive today," Sears said. "Some men feel threatened by sexually assertive women. Sexual assertiveness in women has been linked to impotence in young males." Why do we have these double standards, you might ask? In the past men were expected and encouraged to take the initiative. Sears said, "They wanted to marry a virgin. But if all the men were sleeping around, where are they (virgins)?" Doan agrees. "Our culture is the product of a patriarchal plan in which anybody that was not a male was inferior." Is this simply because males were stronger in the past? Streets believes that women had more "accessories" in the old days. Women's clothing may have given rise to a need to have things done for them. He mentioned examples of these helpful gestures like a man giving a woman a hand out of the carriage, pulling up her chair while she would hold her dress, or opening a door while she gathered her dress. Sears agrees with him. "It (men being stronger) could be where it (the standard) came from but today doors just aren't that heavy," Sears said. Just today a journalism professor opened a door for a woman and didn't receive a thank you. He was a little surprised. Should we expect this in modern times?
Oops.
Dr. Doan further elaborated on dating today. "I think it (the double standard) has outlived its usefulness. Both genders today are confused about what it means to be a man or a woman. Divorce rates today are 50 percent, and this is part of the reason. In the past couples stayed married much longer," he said. Are sex roles the problem then? A recent study report by Peplau, Hill, and Rubin in the Fall 1993 Journal of Social Issues tackled this issue. Spurred by the rapid entry of women into the paid labor force and by the modern feminist movement, many Americans have been rethinking traditional rules for malefemale relations.... Should the man take the lead in couple decision making, or is an egalitarian balance of power preferable? Two basic themes are central to traditional sex role ideology. One theme emphasizes a gender-
based division of labor. In marriage, for instance, homemaking and child care have traditionally been defined
"women's
employment "men's work." A second theme is male dominance, the report stated. The report survey summarized, first, sex role attitudes were not related to couple satisfaction. Traditionalists, moderates, and egalitarians were all able to create rewarding dating relationships. Second, the report stated, sex role attitudes were linked to qualitative differences in the nature of dating relationships. Traditionalists were less likely to have sexual intercourse or to live together, and more likely to perceive their relationship as male dominant. For individuals endorsing traditional or moderately liberal views of malefemale relations, having a like-minded partner was associated with relationship stability. contrast, when either (Yr-1, 6( ?ne or both partners work" and paid rejected traditional sex roles, the

likelihood of staying together was reduced, stated the report. Fully 43 percent of traditionalist women married their college boyfriend , and not a single one of these marriages ended in divorce. In contrast, only 26 percent of egalitarian women married their boyfriend, and half of these marriages ended in divorce. "There is less questioning about what to behave like in traditional relationships. It's not a matter of right or wrong," Doan said. Can we get away from double standards? Is society then our guideline and our problem? "Society is your best approximation to make a judgement about somebody up front. Everybody's going to use it," said Streets. Streets went on to say that regarding women calling men, he wished more women would overcome the double standard fear and ask a prospective man out.

50 ways to leave your lover Beijing flood threatens city, lives BEIJING (AP) - Millions of soldiers and civilians are bolstering river banks in a southeastern region where flooding has inundated poor areas and threatened a large city, officials and state-run media said Wednesday. About 600 people have reportedly died in recent weeks since heavy storms began pounding provinces already saturated from early summer rains. Waters roared tlu-ough mountainous parts of eastern Zhejiang province, ``with a terrifying force, a provincial government official said. Seven million soldiers and civilians were dispatched to the province to keep loss of life and property to a minimum, People's Daily, the Communist Party newspaper, said.
Queen's tomb to open to public LUXOR, Egypt (AP) - Tucked in a mountain for 3,200 yeais the tomb of Queen Nefertari will soon open to the pub-
lic, with visitors required to wear masks and shoe-coverings to protect the vivid yet delicate paintings. But the imminent arrival of tourists has set off a debate between those eager to rejuvenate Egypt's sagging tourism industry and others who worry that exposure to the masses will destroy the queen's legacy. Nefertari, or "the most beautiful," was the wife of Ramses II, who reigned over Egypt from 1304 B,C. to 1236 B.C,, one of the greatest periods of ancient Egyptian civilization, Italian archaeologist Paolo Mora, who with his wife, Laura, headed the restoration team, recommended that fewer than 10 people be allowe,d in every hour to keep the humidity down. He also suggested draping transparent curtains across the paintings once tourists arrive in November.

Flirting Staff Writer
Their eyes meet across the room. She looks away. Later, he introduces himself. She smiles. He tells a joke, she laughs and gently touches his arm. Each of the two parties are perfecting the art of flirting. "Flirting is acting a certain way to let someone know you're interested in them," said Clint Shore, UCO senior. Flirting is part of the human courtship process. Homo Sapiens use verbal and non-verbal signals to attract and approach a mate, said Dr. David Givens, an anthropologist in Washington. This suggests that flirting is an instinctual mating behavior. "I flirt to be adventurous and have fun," said Sharon Kennedy, UCO student. Shore agreed that flirting is fun. "Making someone be attracted to you is challenging. It's the whole basis of love." The initial look or signal used to attract someone begins a series of negotiations at each step of the relationship, so the very first flirtatious encounter is very important, said Given. Studies have found that the ways people flirt are closely related to the rest of the animal kingdom. Humans, like most animals begin to flirt by broadcasting a "notice me" message, said Given. This is accomplished body language.

great scores.. .
Along with body language, eye contact is important. "Eye contact is very important. When you look into someone's eyes, you can read their heart," said Vanessa Flynn, sophmore. Christopher Sullivan, a junior, agreed, "Looking a person right in the eye lets you know what they're thinking." A gap in the flirting game exists between the sexes. According to Harper's Bazaar, men tend to use sexual innuendo when flirting. Many men also use a sense of humor to make themselves more attractive when trying to attract a mate. On the contrary, when women flirt, there is a tendency to listen closely and very agreeable with what the man is saying. Women also give many compliments and make an effort to say things the man will like to hear. UCO students support this statement. "When I flirt I just try to compliment and tell him things I

know he'll like to hear," said Vanessa Flynn, sophomore. "I listen very carefully to everything they say. I pay a lot of extra attention to them," said Kennedy. Shore supports the humor tactic. "I use a sense of humor. I wouldn't be attracted to someone without a good sense of humor." Men and women once again miss the mark when it comes to interpreting signals. "When you ask men what it means for a woman to smile at them in a social setting, they interpret it as a sexual invitation, while women say it indicates that she just wants to get to know him better," said Given. All differences aside, being an object of desire is almost always a compliment. "Letting someone know you're attracted to them is the biggest compliment of all. It takes a lot of guts to flirt," said Shore.

According to Coping with Romantic Breakup by Allen J. Ottens, Ph.D, some ways to get over a breakup are: • Plan ahead to engage in some diversionary activity in order to break the focus of thought on your ex. • Make sure the activity provides enough distraction. You probably don't want to take a walk by yourself, knit, or play solitaire because those simple activities make it too easy for you to think about your ex. 110 Remember your sadness is an honest, legitimate emotion. Treat yourself with tender loving care. 400 It's often helpful to engage in your diversionary activity with someone else. Go shopping at the mall or go to a baseball game with a friend. • Now is the best time to improve a skill. Figure out how to work your VCR or improve your golf stroke.

Hall of Fame-bound Softball coach takes place among elite
UCO softball coach Dr. Gerry Pinkston will be inducted into the NCSA Hall of Fame in December.
Veteran University of Central Oklahoma softball coach Dr. Gerry Pinkston has been selected to the National Softball Coaches Hall of Fame in Columbia, Mo. Pinkston, who will be in her 21st season with the Lady Bronchos in 1995-96, will be inducted into the NSCA Hall of Fame on Dec. 2 in Scottsdale, Ariz. during the NSCA National Convention. "This is a great honor and one I'm very humbled by," Pinkston said. "There are so many great coaches around the nation that to be selected for this award is something I will always cherish."
Williams promoted to full-time hoops assistant By Scott Moore Sports Writer Central Oklahoma has hired it's first-ever full-time assistant women's basketball coach in former Lady Broncho standout Shawn Williams. Williams, a native of Garland, Texas, played point guard for head coach John Keely from 1988-90 and has been a graduate assistant at UCO for the past four years. Williams said her promotion to full-time assistant was prompted by the issue of gender equity promoted by the U.S. Department of Education. "Coach Keely and I talked about me being a full-time assistant two years ago," said Williams. "I didn't think I would get hired. I thought I would probably coach at a junior college. "But within the past year, the gender equity issue made it mandatory that they hire a fulltime women's assistant because we already had a full-time assistant men's basketball

coach (Rod Wright)." "We were audited at random in the spring of '93 by the office of Civil Rights of the U.S. Deparment of Education in Dallas," said UCO athletic director Skip Wagnon. "Basically, because we already had a men's assistant coach, we had to hire a women's assistant coach." Wagnon said that a lack of funds prevented the hiring of an assistant women's basketball coach sooner, but is happy to have Williams as a full-time member of the coaching staff. "Shawn has worked for us a number of years as a graduate assistant and we know her capabilities," said Wagnon. "I'm personally excited to have a person of Shawn's qualities on our staff." "It has been a goal of mine to be a full-time coach ever since I acquired my masters degree (in physical education) in December of '94," said Williams. With that masters degree, Williams will also be the 1.11LA_NO'S

strength coach for the entire UCO athletic department. As a player, Williams' name appears in UCO's record books in single-season assists (second with 154) and career assists (fourth with 274). Williams earned honorable mention AllLSC honors in her junior and senior seasons at UCO. "Having Shawn as a full-time coach will be a big benefit to the program ," said Keely. "Shawn is a very loyal and dedicated individual who really makes an impact on the student-athletes at our university." Williams said the promotion won't change her duties much, but having completed her masters degree will give her more time to devote to the team. "I will probably be doing the same things that I was doing as a graduate assistant," said Williams. "The only difference is that I am no longer in school now and so I will probably be able to go on more road trips and be more involved in recruiting."

UCO media guides earn national honors By Scott Moore Sports Writer The UCO Sports Information Department raked in the awards at the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Convention in Denver on June 29. The 1994-95 Central Oklahoma Wrestling Media Guide, for the fifth straight year, won best in the nation among wrestling media guides for Division B-C (NCAA Division II and III). The media guide also won the award for the best cover. The cover, titled "The Untouchables", depicts UCO wrestlers Jerry Best, Brian Melchiori, Chad Humphrey, Mike Keim and Mark Cunningham dressed in 1930's clothing while standing around a 1939 Chevrolet Coupe and the Bronchos' three Division II national championship trophies.

The covers are artistic renditions of UCO players Tammie Barker and Junie Sanders and were designed by Mike Morkes of the UCO Communications Department. Also, the 1994 Volleyball media guide earned a sixth best award in Division B. All UCO media guides are written, edited and designed by Kirk and student assistant Stan Wagnon.

UCO moves Homecoming football game to October A request by the UCO Student Organizing Committee has resulted in the Bronchos changing the date of their 1995 Homecoming football game. UCO was originally scheduled to host Fort Hays State on Sept. 16 for Homecoming, but the Bronchos will now face three-time defending Lone Star Conference champion and 1995 NCAA Division II runner-up
Texas A&M-Kingsville on Oct. 14. Game-time will remain 7 p.m. for the TAMUK Homecoming contest. The Homecoming parade will be at 10 a.m. in downtown Edmond and UCO's defending LSC champion volleyball team will host Angelo State in a 2 p.m. contest in Hamilton Field House. "The Student Organizing
Committee asked to change the Homecoming date to later in the year and we agreed to it," UCO athletic director John "Skip" Wagnon said. "They felt they needed more time to better prepare for Homecoming and we made the change. "Texas A&M-Kingsville had already made travel arrangements, so we had to stay with a night game."

KOKC to air Broncho football The University of Central Oklahoma Athletic Department has signed a three-year contract with Guthrie radio station KOKC (1490 AM) to carry live broadcasts of all Broncho football games beginning with the 1995 season. UCO, whose games had been heard on campus station KCSC (90.1 FM) the past eight years, will retain veteran radio and television voice Chris Needham as its play-by-play announcer. Needham, who also does play-by-play for the Oklahoma City Cavalry of the CBA, will be in his ninth year of calling UCO football games and will also host a pre- and post-game show for all games. "We're pleased to start an association with a different radio station and look forward to a great association with KOKC," said UCO athletic director John "Skip" Wagnon. "We look forward to being broadcast on a commercial station and see this as an opportunity to generate additional revenue for the department through the sell of commercials." "We're very, very excited to have the chance to broadcast UCO football," said George Griffith, general manager and program director of KOKC. "We feel the Bronchos are going to be a formidable team and we're excited to have a football team on the air that nobody else has." The Bronchos open the season on Sept. 2 against Mesa State and will play an 11-game schedule this fall.
LSC honors top coaches Ron Elston, Vince Jarrett and Wes Kittley have won Coach of the Year awards for the spring sports of tennis, golf and track and field in the Lone Star Conference. Elston, head coach for men's and women's tennis at Abilene Christian, was named Coach of the Year after the ACU teams won league titles and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II team national tournaments. Jarrett, also from Abilene Christian, was named LSC Coach of the Year in golf after his team won the LSC title and advanced to the NCAA Division II national tournament for the ninth straight year. Kittley, head coach for men's and women's track and field at Abilene Christian, won the award for his sport. His teams finished first in the women's division and second in the men's division at both NCAA Division II indoor and outdoor national meets in 1995. The LSC Coach of the Year awards are selected by a vote of the league's head coaches and sports information directors.

A comic book comes to life et another comic book come to lifemovie hit the box office this summer. Judge Dredd, the newest action packed movie out this summer, is a lot better than most movie goers might expect. The story is based on the idea that in the future the judicial system has fallen apart, and in its place are the judges. The judges have the right to try, convict and sentence criminals within two minutes of the arrest. The plot thickens when Rico, Dredd's evil brother frames Dredd for a murder and plans to take over the city. And of course, it is Dredd's job to stop him. This idea made an excellent movie except for a couple of drawbacks. First of all, the sets weren't believable. They looked like a cross between Back to the Future II and Total Recall. Second, it starred Sylvester Stallone as the emotionless Judge Dredd the toughest and most respected judge to ever walk Mega City One. Granted, Stallone is the only actor in Hollywood who looks

In a fiendish plot to overthrow the judicial system in Mega City, One Dredd (Stallone) is framed for murder by Rico (Armand Assante). (Photo by Richard Blanshard, Cinergi Pictures) like the comic book character, but it is evident that Stallone took too many punches during the Rocky movies. Judge Dredd also stars Dianne Lane, who does a superb job as Dredd's colleague, Judge Hershey and Armand Assante as Rico, the demented evil-doer. Of course the movie wasn't all bad. In fact, other than a few minor weaknesses the movie was quite enjoyable. Some of the costumes were
original and the movie even had a few interesting and original characters. Although the movie is sickeningly predictable, Judge Dredd has the most complex plot in an action movie since Total Recall. The highlight of the movie was Rob Schneider, who starred as a white collar criminal that tags along with Dredd and provides some much needed comic relief.
A real romantic film for us all
T
he Bridges of Madison County is a love story about a middle-aged Iowa farm wife and an older National Geographic photographer. A chance encounter leads to a brief passionate affair. However, the ensuing love-bond spans the rest of their lives. The movie, based on Robert James Waller's best seller of the same name, portrays a mature message about valuing family stability over personal fulfillment. Meryl Streep's performance brings to life the Italian-born war-bride housewife, Francesca Johnson, who sets aside personal dreams for her husband and children. Clint Eastwood plays the unmarried international photog-
rapher, Robert Kincaid. His assignment to photograph Iowa's covered bridges brings him to Francesca's door for directions. From there, the couple develop a passionate relationship magnified by emptiness in their lives and the limited time they have to share. Despite intense temptation, Francesca chooses not to destroy the stability of her family members' lives by running away with her lover. Whenever vows of love are broken someone suffers pain, but the heroine of this story chooses to suffer silently for the loss of her lover. A mother of teen-age children, she considered what effect leaving would have on them.
Also, while life with her husband was dull, she could not bear to break her his heart and subject him to the shame of neighborhood gossip. Some may feel the story is unrealistic, but the plot is possible given the level of maturity of the characters. Real people sometimes get caught up in passion, and run away with lovers. But with years of marriage behind them and children at stake, they are more likely to stay married out of commitment, regardless of their level of personal satisfaction. This was a five-hanky film for me. Two hankies did the trick for my friend. A touching story with a rarely expressed perspective on an old subject, Bridges is a treat for an open mind.

Blind dates make friends not lovers
Dating: By Paisley Krout Staff Writer
She looks nervously in the mirror as she decides which outfit to wear. He watches TV until he decides that it's finally time to get ready. On the way to pick her up, he tries three places before finally finding some flowers. They both wonder what the other will be like, will they like each other or will this date be just a nice onetime thing. By the end of the evening, they both realize that they have met a wonderful person who they would love to have as a friend. There were no sparks and certainly no fireworks. The blind date, known to all singles throughout the ages as one of the most strained dating situations anyone can encounter. John Clanton, a 19-year-old UCO sophomore, and Maris Lobdell, a 21year-old UCO sophomore, ventured into blind date territory on July 5.
L
"Before the actual date, I figured out who he was," said Lobdell. This gave her an advantage over Clanton who did not know that she was his date. "I had no idea that it was her. I knew who she was and I had talked to her before, but I didn't know she was my date," said Clanton. Lobdell was supposed to recognize Clanton because he would have a red rose. As the time for the date drew closer; this quickly became a problem. "I went three different places looking for a red rose. My roommate suggested that I draw one on a piece of paper. I finally ended up at 7-11 and they had just sold out," said Clanton. "I told the guy I was going on a blind date and I had to have one. He said 'You're going on a blind date and you're dressed like that?!'" "I said, 'Yea.' So he finally let me have a red carnation." Lobdell also had her share of predate difficulties.
"I had to go to the bank before our date. I only had 20 minutes and since I had no car, I had to walk, so I was about five minutes late," said Lobdell. The couple started off with dinner at Don Pablos. Next, they headed to Golf World. Finding it empty, they opted to rent Quiz Show. "We went to her room, watched the movie and just hung out with her roommate," said Clanton. After that, the two said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. "He's a wonderful guy, but it was really just a friendship thing," said Lobdell. Clanton shared her view of the relationship. "She was really nice, we just didn't have any interests in common." Still, both of these singles were undaunted by once again finding only a friend through their date. Both agreed they would continue to go on blind dates and will keep looking for their one true love.
