Faculty discuss further exchanges with UCO 's sister university By Paul Eddy Staff Writer In a meeting held July 11, University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh and several college deans began discussing the probabilities of further exchanges with the Universidad Popular Autonomal Del Estado De Puebla (The Autonomous University of Puebla). The discussion went around the table as

the four UCO deans who visited Puebla explained what they had learned. "It was a very profitable trip from the standpoint of knowledge and information gained," said Dr. George Avellano, dean of the graduate college. Much of what was discussed was specifics on the transference of class credits. The programs at Puebla are highly structured and they do not have elective classes. The universities will have to work out the ability to transfer credits, said Avellano.

Physical Plant implements program on dangers of natural gas By Tonya Jones Student Writer
The physical plant at the University of Central Oklahoma is implementing a public awareness program on campus to inform students and faculty on the hazards of gas leaks, emphasizing the dangers of natural gas. Natural gas, in its purified state, is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and about one-third lighter than air. Oklahoma Natural Gas (ONG) adds a chemical called Mercaptan, so people can detect the smell. Although gas emergencies are rare, they can and do happen. Due to new requirement changes by the Corporation Commission, UCO is now classified as
a small gas distributor. This means more than one building operates on gas meters, said Don Powers, director of safety and environmental management at UCO. Although there have been no incidents in the past, it's important to make information available in an effort to prevent accidents, said Powers. Most gas emergencies occur from high and low-pressure lines, gas leaks and cut lines. Gas leaks may also arise from faulty appliances, loose connections and service lines, located inside and outside the residence, said Don Sherry, manager of communications for the Oklahoma City district for ONG. "In all situations, you should
always see a blue flame. A yellow or white flame indicates there could be a problem," said Sherry. This is really important to students and faculty, especially those living in campus apartments and in dorms, Powers said. "Our goal is simply to provide information to people to keep the risk down to a minimum and keep people from getting hurt," said Powers. Anytime a person smells gas, they should take precautions not to provide a spark or any source of ignition, such as turning off a lightswitch. Leave the location and report it immediately to the Physical Plant at 341-2980, Ext. 2401 from 8-5 and 341-2980, Ext. 2345 after hours.
How can you prevent gas emergencies? ✓ Keep all appliances clean, properly vented and serviced regularly, ✓ Make sure everyone in your family knows how to operate gas appliances and shut-off valves. Don't use or store gasoline or aerosols or other products with flammable vapors near gas appliances. ✓ Don't use an open gas oven for heating your apartment or drying clothes. ✓ Never cover fresh air vents that supply air to your gas appliances. ✓ Have all gas line alterations and appliance repairs performed by UCO Physical Plant. ✓ Write the UCO Police Department phone numbers and and Physical Plant emergency numbers in front of your phone book. If you ever smell gas, call UCO Physical Plant Ext. 2401

PUEBLA Continued from front page The faculty at Puebla are interested in coming to UCO for twoto-three weeks at a time and studying the programs here and they are receptive to visits by faculty from UCO along the same lines, said Elsner. "We talked in terms of, 'was there an interest.' said Elsner. "I think that we're only limited by what we want to do," said Elsner. Dr. Frank Wert, dean of the business administration college, said that he talked to his counterparts about arranging the business seminars, with both universities allowing each to learn about the business practices in Oklahoma and Puebla. Wert also mentioned that Dr. Paula Smith, associate professor of economics at UCO and the first

UCO ambassador to Puebla, had returned from her semester stay at Puebla and was already preparing to bring a group of students from Puebla to Oklahoma. Wert said he and his counterparts at Puebla discussed summer internships and the possibility of Puebla becoming involved in the Fulbright program, a program involving scholarships for international studies and faculty exchanges. The meeting then focused on proposals for the exchange of students. These included everything from scholarships to the "swapping" of students, said Wert. The swap would mean that a student from UCO who wanted to go to Puebla would enroll and pay for the credits at UCO and then take the classes at Puebla and vice versa. The students would be
responsible for their own housing. Some connected events include a visit to UCO from a group of Korean students from July 17-30. A group of Egyptian students will also be visiting the campus, said Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute of State Government at UCO. One reason that Puebla was chosen for UCO' s sister university is because Puebla and Oklahoma City are sister cities and UCO is trying to identify with Oklahoma City, said Nigh. Another reason is that the ambassador to Mexico is from Oklahoma and his first visit to the city of Puebla coincided with our first trip to Puebla, said Nigh. "I was extremely pleased with the continued progress we made in our sister university relationship," said Nigh.

Social Security may be bust for baby boomers on the typical pay stub is a depressing exercise. As the total mounts during the year, the feelings of futility increase exponentially. Incorrectly thought of as an entitlement program, Social Security is a universal contributory social insurance program. The original goal of Social Security was to provide retirees with benefits that depend on their contributions to a fund while they worked. Sounds pretty simple. We put money in a pot `til we're ready to retire, then it's doled back out to us.

gram. Many private funds actively compete in Chile for the right to manage the savings that workers are required to put aside for their old age. And when Becker visited Chile, he didn't find anyone who wanted to return to the old system, which taxed over 25 percent of earnings, still not providing sufficient retirement incomes. Perhaps privatization is an idea whose time has come in the Social Security System. Regardless, it's definitely time to be more creative with how we manage our precious funds for our older years. Some sort of action is needed before the buck, literally, stops here.
Wilson, Corn King meat companies recall thousands of hot-dog packages By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Grocery shoppers should be aware that the Wilson and Corn King processed meat companies are recalling thousands of packages of franks that may have been undercooked. The products under the recall include one and three-pound packages of "Wilson's Jumbo Franks" and "Corn King's Jumbo Franks." The related chicken and porkbased franks have the code "Est. P-13529 Sell by Aug. 21" stamped on the packages. "Shoppers are encouraged not to eat the products, and to return
them to the store from which they were purchased," said Kay Titchenal, spokesperson for Wilson Foods. The franks are being recalled because they may have been undercooked during processing, said Titchenal. "Hot-dogs should never be eaten raw, but some people like them that way. "People who eat undercooked franks could become ill, showing symptoms like fever, chills, headaches, backaches and sometimes abdominal pain," said Titchenal. "As long as they are cooked, there should be no problem with
them," said Titchenal. In a separate but similar incident in December of 1993, Wilson Foods recalled 40,000 pounds of hot-dogs because of possible undercooking, said Titchenal. One of the largest recalls in recent history involved the Campbell Soup Company in 1992. The company recalled 332,000 frozen dinners and 423,000 cans of soup due• to fragments of glass found in some of the products. For more information, call Wilson Foods at 1-800-868-9158, or call the Agriculture Department Meat and Poultry hotline at 1800-535-4555.

Student Writer If this summer's plans include a vacation at any Oklahoma state park for camping with the family or a round of golf with friends, be prepared to bring some extra cash. Camping and golf course rate increases, as well as fee increases for other services at Oklahoma state parks, went into effect June 13. The increases will fund minimum park services such as vehicle maintenance, ranger functions, and trash collection, but entrance fees for state parks will not be affected. "This increase will be permanent and will be used to maintain basic existing services. The state legislation appropriated money to build on Beavers Bend State Park, but this increase will not be used
for new buildings," said Media Coordinator Jolie Lipson. Golf course fees increased by 50 cents at seven of the nine stateope .rated golf courses, including Arrowhead, Lake Murray,

sites to serve park visitors interested in obtaining specific sites, like those with lake views or those accessible to marinas, beaches, boat ramps, and other park facilities. "A great deal of cost cutting has been done to keep these increases minimal," said Tourism Department Executive Director David Davies.

Student Spotlight: Dancer sets sights on New York City By Paul Eddy
Staff Writer "Mainly I like to have fun, when I stop having fun I'll stop," said Hui Cha, a liberal arts general education major. Before Cha started dancing, she was involved with cheerleading and pompon. "I like roller blading and other physical activities," said Cha. Cha became involved with the Cavalry Sundancers where she met
CeCe Farha, owner of Range of Motion Dance Studio and jazz dance teacher at UCO. Cha said Farha encouraged her to dance. "This will be my fourth year of dancing," said Cha. Cha said she was with the UCO Kaleidoscope Dance Company last year and will be returning for a second year. "My family came to America from Korea when I was eight. They brought me here so I could get an education.
"This year will be my second year at UCO. I graduated from Moore High School," said Cha. "I realized that I wanted to perform after being in Lyric Theatre this summer." Cha's favorite performance was in Peter Pan in which she played Princess Tiger Lily. Cha said she also teaches at college cheerleader camps throughout the nation. She will be teaching at the Nebraska camp where the UCO cheerleaders will be training.
The Kaleidoscope Dance Company is hosting the River North Dance Company from Chicago as this year's guest artists, said Cha. "I can't wait to watch Frank Chavez. Chavez is a great dancer. "I think that it is great that they (The River North Dance Company) are from Chicago. It helps to prove that you can have success somewhere besides New York," said Cha. "I think it's (The Kaleidoscope Dance Company) going to be incredible. The talent at the audi-
tions was phenomenal," said Cha. "There is a constant motivation for everyone in Kaleidoscope because there are so many good dancers here. "Dance is such a variety of movement that you get good at one thing but there is always something you can work on," said Cha. Cha said she wants to go to New York City and try out for as many shows as possible. "I set goals for myself, but I still want to work so I will go wherever there is a job for me."

Government buys land for peasants MEXICO CITY (AP) — A local government is buying private property for landless peasants in hopes of easing tensions from an armed Indian rebellion earlier this year, The Chiapas state government said Thursday it will turn over 7,100 acres, including 10 ranches, to about 570 members of peasant groups that have seized or claim private lands. Chiapas, one of Mexico's most impoverished states, is where Zapatista rebels launched a New Year's Day rebellion to protest conditions for Indian peasants. More than 145 people were killed before a Jan. 12 cease-fire. The Zapatistas cited land redistribution problems as a major cause for the uprising. Since then, land claims have surged and peasants have occupied some private properties. Government negotiators promised land redistribution in a March peace plan, but rebels rejected the plan last month. Chiapas will hold federal and state elections Aug. 21 that Zapatistas warn must be fair to avoid more violence. In another government effort to attack the rebellion's causes, a special task force met Monday in the state capital to coordinate government assistance throughout Chiapas.
Iraq cracks down on sale of alcohol NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Iraq is banning the sale of alcohol in clubs, hotels, restaurants and tourist facilities and has ordered the closing of bars and discos, state-run radio reported Friday. Saddam Hussein, who authorized the crackdown Thursday, is thought to be curbing extravagant lifestyles of the elite in an attempt to placate the suffering majority. U.N. sanctions imposed after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990 have caused economic hardship for most of the country's 18 million people. First-time offenders face prison terms of at least one year and repeat offenders will be sentenced to three years. according to the radio broadcast, monitored by the British Broadcasting Corp. Premises used for the sale of alcohol will be confiscated, the report said.
Travel advertisement angers nurses NEW YORK (AP) — A travel ad in a police journal promising more than 500 nurses on a cruise and showing a bikini-clad woman in an unbuttoned nurse's uniform got a big response — from angry nurses. In the advertisement published in the Fraternal Order of Police Journal, which has a circulation of 251,000, the woman holds a stethoscope and invites readers to "Come join our cruise," from Miami to the Bahamas. The ad prompted about 50 calls from interested officers, said Mike Ippolito, owner of A & M Cruises. But it also brought more than 200 calls of protest from members of the American Association of Nurses. "Clearly we were very upset," said Lisa Wyatt, spokeswoman for the nurses' group. "We were angry at the nurse in a stereotypical role and not being cast as a professional." Ippolito apologized to the nurses. He said he and a police officer had decided to advertise in the journal after learning that the October cruise included a shipboard nursing seminar.
Hyperactivity slays Tyrannosaurus? WASHINGTON (AP) — Tyrannosaurus Rex, the killer king of the dinosaurs, may have been a warmblooded meat-eater who was driven almost constantly by a rapid metabolism to seek out and consume other animals, according to a study published today. In a modern animal, said William J. Showers, leader of the NCSU team, such an animal would be called warmblooded. If this is so, then an animal the size of the six to 10-ton T. Rex would be driven by hunger to be an absolutely ruthless and constant hunter, he said. "Some have called it 'the roadrunner from hell,'" said Showers. "It was the largest land predator ever. If it was warmblooded, then it was active and eating all of the time. "It had tremendous teeth and tremendous claws and it looks like it could run very fast," he added. A warmblooded T. Rex, said Showers, "would be an extremely active animal that could operate at night (when it was cool) and at high latitudes (colder climates). And it would be a much more voracious predator than an animal with a coldblooded physiology."

Cadets attend camps across country By Matt Williamson
Staff Writer A small, concrete, parade deck sits just north of Thatcher Hall. The only sound on the deck is the howl of Oklahoma wind. No shouts of "attention" or "right `ace," booming out across the courtyard, from a tall slender man, dressed all in green. The cadets that would normally stand there in formation are scattered to the winds. From Washington to Kentucky, cadets are leading a very different summer than most. "It's (camp) a six-week pressure cooker. It allows the army to examine the cadets," said Maj. Brogden, chairman of military science, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) at the University of Central Oklahoma. "It's a big thing because, that,
along with my recommendations, decides what they, the cadets, do in the army and if they are active or reserve." The two camps most frequented by the cadets are, ROTC Basic at Ft. Knox, Ky. and ROTC Advanced located at Ft. Lewis, Wash. Basic is used to give the cadet a feel of military life before they commit themselves to it. The students attending Ft. Knox are usually freshmen or sophomores who can use the camp to help them determine ifjoining the army is right for them. Advanced camp, also six weeks, serves as a separate look for the army to make the final survey, said Brogden. Seven cadets from UCO's ROTC program are attending the camp at Ft. Lewis. A smaller class of five are in Kentucky this summer. Cadets at both camps are being
instructed in rifle marksmanship, land navigation, military weapons systems and leadership skills. "When they are commissioned as lieutenant, they must be trained as an officer," said Brogden. Several cadets will be attending secondary camps at Ft. Benning, Ga. and here in Oklahoma at Camp Gruber. Ft. Benning is army airborne training and Camp Gruber hosts an air assault school. The cadets will be reporting back to Brogden before classes begin in late August. Throughout the year cadets are counseled, by the ROTC staff, on their performance as students and cadets. Brogden has the final say as to the cadets being commissioned in the army. "If they do not have what I think it takes to be an officer," said Brogden. "Then I tell them to leave."
2 UCO students to attend crystallography course By Tonya Jones
Student Writer Two University of Central Oklahoma students will spend a portion of their summer conducting lab experiments with scientists from across the United States, during a summer school course in crystallography. Yu Sheng Chen and John Hamilton are among 38 applicants worldwide invited to attend the Third Summer Course in Crystallography, August 1-12 at the University of Pittsburgh. The only university in the nation that offers a degree in crystallography. "Actually it's a very big honor for our university, no other colleges from Oklahoma had students accepted," said Dr. S. Narasinga Rao, director of faculty research at UCO. Chen and Hamilton have re-
ceived full tuition waivers and will receive funding for lodging from Rao. "Not all of the applicants received full tuition waivers," said Joan Klinger, department of administration at the University of Pittsburgh. Grants were based on the students reason for coming, what they plan to do with the training and how they would utilize the course to further their careers, said Klinger. Lodging will be provided for through a $2,500 fund donated by Dr. Jerome Karle for crystallography projects at UCO, said Rao The United States has some of the best crystallographers in the world and some of the hottest topics in the world. "We will be working with people that have been in this field for over 40 years," said Hamilton.

There will be people from Argentina, England, Mexico, India and Russia attending this course, said Hamilton. "Learning is the whole thing here, we will be taught by top notch people in this field. The information and training that Chen and I bring back we can impart on other students," said Hamilton. Enraf-Nonius, Syntax and Phillips will provide supplies for students by moving equipment from their warehouses to the University of Pittsburgh, so that students may conduct research, said Rao. Being invited is an honor. This course will be helpful to the future and will aid in knowledge for when the time comes to start a Ph.D. program, said Chen. "If you want to learn, you learn from the best, and we've got the best," said Hamilton.

Skies to light up for Aerospace America By Keena Lucas Student Writer Each year, heads fall back and eyes squint against a glaring sun as the participants of Aerospace America '94 dance across the horizon. This year, Aerospace will be July 15-17, with gates opening at 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Some of the main attractions this year include the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds and Gene Soucy's "Showcat & Wingwalking." "We offer fast-paced entertaining air shows compared to other air exhibits," said Don Dennis, vice president and account execu-
tive with Smitha and Associates, the agency promoting Aerospace. The skies of Oklahoma City will light up Friday evening with "sky dancing," sparkling parachutes, music and a fireworks display. Saturday and Sunday will feature the Snowbirds, "wingwalking" and one of the largest Warbird performances in North America. "The Snowbirds are an aerobatic team that is like watching ballet in the sky," said Dennis. "They have tight precision and are pleasant to watch." Gene Soucy converted a spray plane into an aerobatic plane called the Showcat. Soucy is from Ft. Worth, Texas, said Dennis. A major sponsor of Aerospace
is KOCO-TV(Channel 5) who will broadcast "Aerospace America '94 Preview" from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. July 14 live from Will Roger's World Airport. The show will include interviews with pilots and 'performers, displays of aircraft and flybys by aerobatic and military aircraft. "People who attend Aerospace will need to bring sunscreen," said Dennis. "We will have extra water and refreshment fountains available." Ticket discounts are offered in advance at Homeland and 7-11 stores. Admission for children 612 is $3 in advance and $6 at the gate. Adult tickets in advance are $8 and $12 at the gate. Parking is free this year.

edge and writing skills, said Rao. As a result, Chen and Hamilton each received a travel award of $300 cash, free air tickets and free lodging while attending the ACA conference. Out of 90 students nationwide, only 20 received awards, two of them from UCO, said Rao. The conference gave students opportunities to interact with other doctors, scientists and students and
to possibly meet people with whom they would like to work, said Rao. "It was interesting to meet the people we had only read about in books or seen on papers," said Chen. Chen and Hamilton are currently working with Rao on their master's in physics and will also attend a summer school program for crystallography at the University of Pittsburgh in August.

Bronchos stay busy in summer Pre-season accolades for UCO's Gonzales By Scott Moore
Sports Editor
The 1994 Central Oklahoma baseball team had one of their best season's in school history this past spring, finishing 39-14 and advancing to the NCAA Division II regional tournament for only the second time in school history before being eliminated by Delta State. So it's time to take the summer off right? Wrong. The Red River baseball league is in full swing and the Edmond Jetta Mud Cats are in first place of the seven team league with a 28-7 record. Twenty-one players off UCO's Lone Star Conference championship team are playing in
the league with 13 playing for the first place Mud Cats. UCO's Ryan Melton, Rodd Melton, Kaleb Schroeder, Eddie Jeffcoat, Russell White, Chad Tredway, Shane Smith, Ford Dever, David Flick, Brad Rogers, Cam Carrier, Brian Nichols and Parrish Mathews are currently playing for the Edmond team whose home field is UCO's Broncho Diamond. Virtually the entire infield for the Edmond Jetta Mud Cats consists of UCO players. "Playing in this league helps us stay in shape and keeps the team playing as a group," said Rodd Melton of the Mud Cats. "Playing together will help us play more smoothly when the school season starts next spring." "Playing in the summer enables
me to work on my pitching and allows me to try out some new pitches," said Chad Tredway. Rodney Foster, Dave Miller, Zac Robinson, Jeff Chappell, Damon Green, Greg Hall and Bryan Adcock are UCO players playing for the Guthrie Senators, while UCO's Brent Nelson plays for the Norman Runner Wolves. The League is part of the nationwide National Baseball Congress (NBC) which consists of different leagues from around the country. The winners of each league will move on to the NBC national tournament held in Wichita, Kan. The two-week tournament starts in early August and consists of 50-60 teams. The semi-pro league was started last year by Rodd and Ryan Melton's father, Jack Melton.
Bronchos rank high in final NCAA statistics; set new team records The 1994 Central Oklahoma baseball team had one of the most explosive offensive teams in school history this past season and the recently released NCAA Division II final baseball statistics prove that success. UCO, who compiled a 39-14 season record while grabbing the Lone Star Conference title and finishing second at the South Central Regional in the NCAA Division II tournament, finished second in Division H in slugging percentage (.601), third in home runs (1.51 per game), seventh in doubles (2.28/game), ninth in team batting average (.348) and 23rd in runs scored (8.34/game). The Bronchos also broke or tied nine team records, five individual records and finished 10th in the final NCAA Division II rankings after the national tournament.

Flo Gonzales, Central Oklahoma's senior center was recently named to the NCAA Division II pre-season AllAmerican football team by The Sporting News. Last season Gonzales, 6'2", 250 pounds, was named firstteam All-Lone Star Conference and the NCAA Division II AllWest Region pick and will be the strength of the Bronchos' offensive line that returns four starters. The Bronchos led the LSC in rushing last year. "We are looking forward to his senior season and he has obviously impressed others," said Gary Howard, head coach. Other returning linemen include Chris Sumpter, Chance Nelson and Aaron Roberson, plus the addition of Mike Filson,

Public awareness of ozone alert increasing In recent years, a new environmental hazard has formed, hovering above many U.S. metropolitan areas like Tulsa and Oklahoma City. "Television weather reports have increased public awareness of what is known as an 'ozone alert' day," said Michael Dean, director of information services at the Oklahoma State Department of Environmental Quality. Ozone (03) is a pungent smelling, pale blue, unstable gas normally found in the "ozone layer" at high altitudes in the earth's atmosphere. The ozone layer serves as a protective sun screen which blocks dangerous ultraviolet (UV) sunlight radiation from striking the earth's surface, said Dean. The problem is that ozone forms at high concentrations at low altitudes where it acts as an irritant, and can damage plants and the health of animals and humans, said Dean. "Sixty percent of problem ozone comes from privately owned cars, light trucks and lawn mowers. "People typically see long-haul vehicles and heavy trucks as the
main source of ozone-promoting pollution, but diesel's soot-filled smoke is not the problem," said Dean. Diesel exhaust is a heavy particulate that quickly falls out of the air. Ozone is formed at the surface level when volatile fuels and aromatic solvents evaporate into the hot, dry air. "We urge the public to watch the five-day forecast for hot, dry, windless conditions. "When people see these conditions coming, they should fuel their vehicles ahead of time so as not to end up with an empty fuel tank on the day of the ozone alert, and on these days, we also ask that people not use their gasoline-powered lawn mowers," said Dean. An empty fuel tank is still full of fumes, and these fumes are forced out of the tank and in to the air when the tank is filled. When this happens on an ozone alert day, the vapors add to the problem by promoting the formation of more surface level ozone, said Dean. "The more volatile the fuel, the more it will evaporate causing more surface-level ozone to form," said Dean. The public is also warned not to use charcoal lighter fluid when cooking out on ozone alert days, and if necessary, to fuel vehicles
after sundown because the Oklahoma City Metro annual ozone levels 1983-1993 temperatures are lower and 0.20 the fuel will not evaporate yearly high as readily into the air, said Dean. There is an increased 0.15 probability of an excesO sive buildup of surface 0.12 level ozone on days when 0.10 the temperature is in the 90s or higher, the relative humidity is low and there 0.05 is little or no wind, said Dean.

Sounds of construction come from 'Y' Chapel of Song By Nicki Cormier Student Writer The "Y" Chapel of Song that usually sits serenely in front of the music department is being disquieted. Outside renovations for the chapel have been going on since July 5. The brick is being cleaned and the roof and all of the woodwork is being replaced. The doors will also be completely refinished and preserved during the
outside renovation. The entrance doors, called the "Doors of the Two Mothers," were dedicated by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Clegern of Oklahoma City to their two mothers after completion of the building in 1949, said Sue Ryan, secretary for the dean of students at the University of Central Oklahoma. The chapel is used for meditation and prayer only, which is why it has no resident minister. There are no regular services in the chapel. However, memorial ser-
vices are held there occasionally , said Ryan. "It is used quite frequently for weddings, not just for students but for faculty and local residents. On an average, two to three weddings a month are held there," said Ryan. The building has a unique history because UCO students were involved in the design of the building. The glass windows were designed by art students. When designing the glass windows, students realized that they couldn't compete with "old world"
artists, so they decided to design the windows based on songs with religious themes. For instance, the middle window, known as the "Brides Window," is named after the song "The Bells of St. Mary." The chapel obtained its name from the student's combination of
song themes and the fact that the YWCA and YMCA made a large donation to the chapel's building fund, said Ryan. "The renovations should be finished by August 1, " said Jennifer Darter, receptionist for the dean of students at UCO.

Newborns latest attraction at OKC Zoo 6-foot baby giraffe stretches onto scene By David Hanigar Student Writer Six-foot newborns aren't all that uncommon—at least not at the Oklahoma City Zoo. Considering the size of his mother however, the zoo's "baby boy" giraffe, born June 27, found the height an advantage. They have to be that size, said Fran Lyon, curator of mammals at the Oklahoma City Zoo, because the mothers give birth standing up and infants have about a five-foot drop before hitting the ground. The yet to be named baby giraffe, will be on display at the zoo until it is fully weaned and sold to another zoo, which should be about six to eight months, Lyon said. "We cannot hold on to offspring very long, because we can't have the possibility of inbreeding," Lyon said. The giraffe is the second born to the six-year old female of the trio of Rothschild species giraffes at the zoo. Students wishing to view the giraffe should attend the zoo during the early morning or late evening in order to catch the animal active, said Tara Henson, manager of marketing and interpretive services for the zoo. "When it's hot, that baby is going to be plopped-down taking a break," Henson said.

Baby sea lion swims into view By Keena Lucas Student Writer The Aquaticus Center at the Oklahoma City zoo has a new "water baby." A California sea lion pup was born to "Midge" and "Moe" June 3. Both mother and baby are doing fine, said Jo Ann Keirsey, manager of marketing and interpretive services with the zoo. The pup was born on land, but was able to swim after birth. The sex of the pup has not yet been determined, said Keirsey. Pups will nurse for 5 months, and are gradually weaned from their mother after about one year. They then begin a zoo diet of fish, said Keirsey. California sea lions may be found along the western coasts of North America. A male sea lion

may grow to be 87 inches long and weigh about 600 pounds. To move around on land, they tuck their hind flippers under their bodies. They are fast swimmers and have been clocked at going as fast as 25 miles per hour. The new sea lion pup can be seen on display in the pool outside the Aquaticus entrance.

News of natural disasters should inspire action By Anthony Tompkins
Staff Writer Try to imagine looking out at a blazing mountain range and knowing everything you own is in the path of the flames. Or, try to imagine the sensation of wading through three feet of water in your living room.
COLUMN It is hard to imagine what it must be like for victims of natural disaster. Their hardships are those
of uncertainty and despair, both of which are truisms without equal definition between one person and the next. Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and earthquakes have destroyed many homes and taken many lives. Survivors were left to pick up pieces of broken dreams and try to live with what little they have left. When one has not been touched by a traumatic event, one may feel secure, and believe that such a tragedy could not possibly happen. But, many times they do happen. Many parts of the country have
been lucky enough not to be touched by carnage of this magnitude. But, those that were not are enduring the pain of loss yet still carrying on, helping their neighbors. People will be called upon to send food, supplies and assistance to those in need. Hopefully, they will respond. It is extremely important for those who can help to do so. Remember, the coin can flip in the passing of a second, and a lifetime of work can be washed, burned, churned or blown away. Advances in meteorology, geology and other sciences can't stop 4: •
