WORLO WRAP Japan surplus jumps TOKYO (AP) — Japan's trade surplus with the world jumped 24 percent in June, the 18th straight month the gap was bigger than a year earlier, the government reported today. The surplus with the United States was up 18 percent from a year earlier, to $3.14 billion, the Finance Ministry said. For the first half of 1992, Japan's total trade surplus was a record $49.03 billion, up 52,4 percent from the same period of 1991. Japan has been under increasing pressure from its trading partners to increase domestic consumption as a way to boost imports.
Gulfstream plans jettison of 225 jobs OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gulfstream Aerospace Technologies says it will layoff about 225 positions at its Oklahoma City plant over the next six to nine months because of the recession and downturn in the industry. The company, which has a current payroll of 750, announced the cuts this week. They will be phased in as subcontracts end. "We've spent five or six years now developing work from other subcontractors, and what has happened is, in the last 12 months or so, the climate has changed so drastically that it is no longer possible to do that," said John Podger, company president.

The Student Voice Since 1903
Coalition creates goals By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer Aluminum can laws and the Earth Summit were among the topics discussed at the University of Central Oklahoma Environmental Coalition meeting held July 14. The coalition's agenda consisted of a number of items that will hopefully better UCO, said Dr. Ed Cunliff, director of Institutional Research and Planning. The meeting began with a recap of events such as the annual Earth Day celebrations, Biology Club recycling efforts and the educational activities which have taken place
on campus for the past two years. The agenda of the meeting dealt with forming an environmental newsletter, a follow-up to the Earth Summit to be held this fall, participating in the "Festival of the Child" in cooperation with "Keep Edmond Beautiful," and working toward the formation of a "can law" in the state of Oklahoma. "The newsletter will help to keep everyone better informed on our progress here on campus," said A.K. Rahman, director of
Auxiliary Services. "A follow-up to the Earth Summit is something we hope to put together. But, it will all depend on the resources," said Cunliff. The group is planning on helping "Keep Edmond Beautiful" with recycling activities during the "Festival of the Child," Oct. 10 and 11. Volunteers are needed from all

`Jungle' trek new adventure for students By Traci McKnight Staff Writer Students new to the University of Central Oklahoma will be led through the "jungle" of university life, Aug. 22, when they participate in this year's freshman orientation, "Trekking Thru the Jungle." The program will allow each individual to choose which programs and sessions they want to attend, said Susan Thompson, director of student activities. Thompson said a new section has been added for parents of students new to UCO. This section will be from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and will include lunch and information from administrators about key issues on the campus. The program for parents will also include helpful hints on "Letting go," and will give parents time to ask questions. Thirty UCO students will act as guides for the new students. Along with answering questions about the university the program will also provide new students with packets containing information about facilities. services and opporV See Trek, page 7

Headless horseman or Casper? The haunting of Mitchell Hall continues By Allen Norbury Staff Writer An unexpected clang above the stage in the catwalk is startling, a quick glance to see what it is reveals nothing. Odd, because there is no other person present in the theater. Sounds like a ghost story. It is. It comes and goes like a wisp of wind. No one has ever seen the face of this rumored ghost, but strange things are happening in Mitchell Hall. Drama students, the Mitchell Hall manager and others claim ropes fall from the ceiling, props disappear and reappear and lights flicker for no reason. Pea size gravel drops
45 feet to the stage when someone walks underneath the catwalk, they say. Several years ago, the rumor goes, a maintenance worker fell to his death from the grid above the stage, said Jim Poe, Mitchell Hall manager. People say he is now the ghost in Mitchell Hall. His name is Thornton and he's been described as an apparition clothed in a dark trenchcoat sporting a fedora hat. Thornton goes back to pre-1970s, Poe said. "He was here when I was a student." "He's not supposed to be a bad ghost," University of Central Oklahoma student Jennifer Morgan said. "He's friendly," said Laura Hartpence, UCO drama student. Thornton unfortunately gets a bad rap,
but he can be mischievous though. "The deal is when anything goes wrong we blame it on him," Hartpence said. Things have gone wrong, and Thornton did it. "During a dress rehearsal of Pirates of Penzance, the fly system that holds the back drops came off of the balcony structure. The drops flew into the rafters so the person holding them went with it," Hartpence said. Lights did strange things as well. "We would put the lights up, and they would flicker and there wouldn't be anyone around," she added. During Biloxi Blues, props must have grown legs and wandered around, or ThornV See Casper, page 7

Political incorrectness occurs only when it's 'us' and 'them'
R
oss Perot referred to blacks during the NAACP convention as "your people." This was not to confuse them with his fellow Texans — "them people" and his supporters — "dork people." He has since apologized but is still feeling the backlash. Was Perot's comment an unconscious slip or just a statement of fact? If Rev. Jesse Jackson had referred to the convention as "my people" would we have batted an eye? Perot was commenting on the job market and on the fact that when jobs are lost, blacks or "your people" are affected first. It would seem that Perot was attempting to speak to the convention in the first person, "Jes you and me talkin" mode that presidential candidates pride themselves on. Comedian George Carlin has often received flack for using, ethnic, racial and sexual slurs. When answering these accusations, Carlin posed this example, "Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor are allowed to use the word 'nigger' any time they want. Why? 'Cause they're niggers!" Homosexuals are allowed to call themselves "queers" and "fags" but then feel they're rights are violated when they are portrayed as "queers" and "fags." Women often call themselves "bitches" among each other, but God forbid a man let the word "bitch" pass his lips unless he's calling a dog. Oh the agonies of being politically correct. Living in a society where people are often offended because they've offended someone can become a colloquial conundrum. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a good rule of thumb; as long as others would have done unto them what you would do unto you. The solution? End the double standard. Blacks, women and homosexuals should set their own standards and eliminate the words "nigger," "bitch" and "fag" from their own vocabulary or expect others to emulate their example. When "your people" becomes a slur, "We, the people" becomes a joke.

Happily ever after Petunia and the prince fight the knight woke up and found myself in a place I did not know. An eerie emptiness came over me, as if I did not belong. How I got there, I did not know. I remembered being hit over the head from behind. I remembered pain. I could still feel my head cry out in pain as if someone had split a piece of wood over it. I knew I was still Princess Petunia. I stood up and brushed off my long satin gown and smoothed out my soft chocolate brown hair. I knew it was time to find out where I was and how I got there. I began walking down a long cement sidewalk. It was a beautiful summer day. The sun smiled down on me, promising its protection until nightfall. The wind hugged me briefly, then ran off to comfort someone else. The little town was so beautiful, yet so empty. After walking a bit, I finally noticed a large building in the near distance. I came closer and realized it was some kind of castle.
I
cc Petunia! Petunia is that you my precious love? Oh! How did I recognize that deep bellowing voice! It was my Prince. Towers stretched out to the sky on either side. No one was home, so I continued my mysterious journey. The large green trees along the lane waved to me in excitement as I passed by. The grass tickled my feet. Finally, I came to another building. I found myself in complete awe. I knew in a glance that this building was important. It was history. Its large red rocks proudly
supported the structure, showing no signs of tiredness after the many years of harsh weather. The most breath-taking feature was its large clock, reaching boldly into the heavens. This clock was obviously the guardian of the small town, keeping the town ticking with its loud, gong-like chimes. I called this building "Old North." In front of "Old North," stood a fountain of stone. People in park benches stared blankly into the fountain, watching the murky water giggle as it gently trickled down the stone structure. As I continued, I passed a large mansion with billowing black windows, an A-frame chapel and flowers of yellow, red and purple. Everything looked so familiar, yet I could not remember where I was. Suddenly, I saw a large, black forest. The eerie trees stretched out their rickety branches, casting grotesque shadows, trying to pull me into their evil hiding place. I ran. I ran and ran until I could run no more. Finally tumbling to the entrance of the largest building my eyes had ever seen. I walked in and noticed a dining room and a billiard room on either side. I climbed two flights of stairs and was suddenly stopped by a woman wearing a long yellow shawl. She bore into me with her dark mahogany eyes, then yielded me permission to continue to the next floor. I was stopped once more, this time by an old Indian Chief, years of hardship and pain etched in his leather-wrinkled skin. He too glanced at me and yielded me permission to the next floor--the grandiose floor of art. As I looked from one painting to another, I suddenly felt at home. I knew I had been there before. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice,
a human voice. "Petunia! Petunia is that you my precious love?" Oh! How I did recognize that deep bellowing voice! It was my Prince. "Where have you been," exclaimed the worried, fretful Prince. "I have had all my knights and peasants alike searching for you for hours!" My precious Prince took me in his arms and put me in the large wooden bed. He told me what had happened and how miraculously I had escaped death.
cc I had been been kidnapped and attacked by the Black Knight. He had a vendetta against my Prince and was going to settle it by taking me hostage and blackmailing my Prince. It turned out I had been kidnapped and attacked by the Black Knight. He had a vendetta against my Prince and was going to settle it by taking me hostage and blackmailing my Prince. He planned to milk him for all he was worth. I, however, had fought so ferociously that I scared the Knight, but not before he could wack me over the head with a large side of beef he found hanging in the freezer. I was out cold, they thought I was dead meat. The Black Knight and his motley crew left me for dead on a road outside of town. I woke up with amnesia and somehow found my way back home. My Prince and I lived happily ever after in the land of Central.

Discovering I'm okay a relieving, learning experience for me fter 21 years of living, breathing and existing on this great planet, I was recently told that I was not a person. I am a mold, a creation, made not in the image of God, but in the image of my own best friend. Or so I was told. I always thought I was my own person, but I began to wonder. Am I just a mirror image of someone else? Who am I? So I set out to discover myself and find the true me hidden deep in the depths of my soul.
A
Column The first thing I did was dig an old, dusty book out of my parents' bookshelf. The thing was obviously written in the '70s, a period when no one knew who he was and everyone was trying to discover himself. The book was titled, "Discovering Ourselves." I got to Chapter 5 and realized I was never going to understand all the Freud stuff,
so I chose another book entitled, "I'm Okay, You're Okay." I haven't read it yet, but according to the title, I'm okay, therefore I don't need to read the rest of the book. After realizing I wasn't going to find myself through a stupid book, I began to really look at myself. I realized that just because I have the same interests, attitudes and opinions as my best friend, that doesn't mean that I am her. Although we do agree on most things, we are two separate people, and I do have thoughts and ideas that are my very own. So just because we seem to be alike and it seems that she influences me, which she doesn't, that doesn't mean that I'm "her creation." All it means is that we have common interests and ideas and enjoy being together. And that's what makes us friends.

Television news: clever toys or needful usable information
B
eing a journalism major, it really upsets me when I watch those annoying little promos for the news anchors on television. They sit there with their makeup and wardrobe and call themselves journalists when what
Column they really are are actors playing a part every night for their local audience, telling them what they think they want to hear. I realize sometimes real life isn't the most joyous thing to hear about, but a journalist's job is to report the news, impartially and truthfully. A real journalist isn't supposed to interpret what the news means, he is simply supposed to report the news so the reader, or viewer in this case, can make their own decisions based on the truth. However, if you watch the local nightly news to get unbiased facts, good luck! How can you make your own decision about an issue when you spend all of your time sifting through the opinions and interpretations of the reporters to get to the truth?
Hey Oklahoma, what's up with the weather wars going on in this state? I realize there is a lot of great technology out there, but every time a weatherman gets a new piece of equipment it's just like a little boy with a new toy, he has to show it to everybody a thousand times. We have NexRad, Doppler Radar, vans standing ready at any moment to chase a tornado and even traveling weather schools. I'm sorry but, I think Gary England interrupts my favorite television programs just as fast and just as frequently now that he has his new equipment as he did before. Of course here in Oklahoma it's hard to complain about television news broadcasts being biased when the best example of a local newspaper is The
Daily Oklahoman. As a free people we are guaranteed freedom of the press. We also have the right to choose if we will read or watch it, believe what it tells us or care enough to educate ourselves in every aspect of an issue so we can make informed decisions. But we do not need special promos or equipment to tell us how to think.

Editor's note: Terry Clark's Feature Writing class took a "nature walk" last week as part of an assignment. The conversation was heard during their trek.
An unrealized summer ummer's sultry promise is once again ending with all of the pizzazz of a Harlequin romance. Every year I dream of finding my own "American Grafitti" or perhaps a watereddown version of "Grease" and at best attain a rather witty episode of "Full House." Life may be a highway — but I'm driving a moped. I'm not even sure what's missing. I've found God, rock'n'roll and love, but part of me is left saying "this is nirvana?" Smells like malarkey to me. Last summer found me pontificating today's problems, trying to diet and tan and all that summer hygiene we put off until June, and

I always thought the grinning goobers who said "I'm married, not dead" were too cliche for words, yet I've caught that thought loitering around my brain too many times for coincidence. My husband and I tried to run amok as often as possible this summer, but unfortunately employers and professors alike refuse to accept "amok" as a disease. Next summer, I'm sure will be another painful exercise in unrealized ambitions. Youth is wasted on the young and financially challenged. I suppose I could drop out of school and join a traveling sorority tanning club, but my God man, I can't support that!

Free John Gotti!
S
o he kills a few people, big deal. Now they're holding it against him for the rest of his life! Is John Gotti really such a bad guy? I think not! I mean, can't a person make a few mistakes without having his butt slammed in jail? See, Gotti is the mob boss for the well-known Gambino family and the FBI have stated that on Dec. 16, 1985, he masterminded the mob hit on former Gambino boss, "Big" Paul Castellano and that's how he got his position. But wait a minute, that's not all. They're charging him with four other counts of racketeering. Wasn't one enough? After hearing this I wondered where the justice in this country had gone. I wondered if I was the only person in the free world that thought he got a raw deal. Well, the following day I picked up a copy of The New York Times and much to my suprise there was an article that went into detail of how 1,000 people stormed the streets of New York
City to back Gotti. And get this, the person heading this angry mob of supporters was his own son, John Gotti Jr. It brought tears to my eyes! Then to ease my suffering even further, I was overwhelmed by the statement from his friend and prison confidant Frank "Frankie Locs" Locascio. He told the judge he was guilty, but of being a good friend of John Gotti, and if there were more men like John Gotti on this Earth, we would have a better country. Now why didn't I think of that first? That was a tremendous cluster of words! After reading and weeping all the John Gotti articles in all the major newspapers, a revelation hit me...It was my destiny to start a "Free John Gotti Club and Crusade." I pondered on the thought for hours, but knew I was pressed for time since he had already been sentenced to life in prison and would be transported there soon. I couldn't bear to see him in those
prison uniforms. He was born to wear charcoal gray suits and matching ties and pocket squares tucked neatly at his breast. Just sit back and take a good long look, at this man. He has such charm, class and striking features. Face it, he's too damn good looking to be behind bars. He carries himself with such style that his presence illuminates the room. I just don't understand it. Doesn't this country believe in a person being rehabilitated or changed? Maybe John has seen the darkness of his crooked ways and has really really changed. It could happen! So why not give him a chance? Come on...do it! Stop this madness! Free John Gotti immediately! If not for him, do it for me! Must I beg? I will if you want me too! But for now I will wait patiently and hope he is released. I will continue my crusade and fan club until my work is done!

Some children don't even have a father. Many of the kids look to me as a male role model." Many parents were reluctant when they found out that their children had a male teacher, but once they got to know Hendricks they loved him, said Karen Rawdon, director of the center.

He eats graham crackers and juice, plays with blocks, enjoys the company of four-year-old children and goes to day care every day. But Tommy Hendricks is not a kid. Hendricks, a junior majoring in advertising at the University of Central Oklahoma, just acts like one. The 21-year-old has been working at the Weekday Early Education Center at the First Baptist Church in Edmond for almost a year, a job he says is quite unusual for the typical college male. When it came time for him to find a job to help supplement his income, he knew he wanted to do something he enjoyed. He knew he loved children and decided to pursue a job in the day care business.

The children love him too. "I am a human jungle gym," remarked Hendricks. Hendricks entertains the children by playing piano, juggling, doing magic tricks and doing "stupid human tricks."

"I can go to school all morning and then in the afternoon I can leave my stresses behind and go play with the children —do something I enjoy," said Hendricks. Although Hendricks is majoring in advertising, he would someday like to go to seminary and become a youth director, and he thinks the experience he gets working in the day care center will help him in that area. "I'm getting experience working with children while having fun," said Hendricks. He said the most rewarding benefit about working with the kids is being treated like part of their families. "They bring me birthday and Christmas presents. They even invite me to their birthday parties," he said. Hendricks loves his job, and the fact that he is the only male teacher at the center doesn't bother him. "I was brought up in a day care center," Hendricks said. "I just want to give back to the children what I got when I was a child." V
Through the Blues, through the booze, and back By Kathy Jo Karr Editor-in-Chief The day he was born, October 3, 1954, to Jim and Martha Vaughan, nobody had any idea the heights the little Texan would achieve in his lifetime. Upon his death 35 years later, the world of music and its fans deeply felt the loss of his amazing
talent and dedication to the blues. On Aug. 27, 1990 while on his way to a show in Chicago, Stevie Ray Vaughan's helicopter crashed due to inclement weather and he was killed. Stevie released six albums with his group, Double Trouble. The first, "Texas Flood," hit hard with it's bluesy riffs and "here-I-amdrunk-in-a-barroom" lyrics. The second album, "Couldn't Stand
the Weather," was another pleasing punch-in-the-gut effort. But Vaughan's next two efforts, "Soul to Soul" and "Live Alive," smacked of laziness, dependency on overdubbing and overall sloppiness due to Vaughan's alcoholism and drug abuse. However, during his musical journey, Stevie laid down riffs for such notables as Bob Dylan, James Brown and David Bowie
Although Stevie's career was flowing beautifully, his personal life was a shambles. His drinking and drug abuse increased, making for sloppy peformances and embarrassing backstage incidents. Finally, Vaughan sought help. Once on the wagon, Stevie released the first album he ever recorded without being under the influence; "In Step," which was a healing chronicle of his trip down the road to ruin and back. But Stevie's best work, the album with the most humor and just
Foreign idea real for foreign students By Traci McKnight Staff Writer To help international students meet other students and communicate their problems and needs, the University of Central Oklahoma Counseling Center will be holding an International Student Support Group every Wednesday afternoon in Evans Hall. The group was formed to provide students with information about campus resources and activities, said Jennie Hau, coordinator of the group. "A lot of students don't know what is available to them here on the campus," she said. Along with providing international students with academic assistance, another main focus of the group is to help them with social problems they experience due to their differing cultural backgrounds, said Hau. "The concept of a support group
is foreign to most of them because they don't have support groups in their countries," said Hau. She said she counsels the students on any kind of problem they may be experiencing, from how to use the library to how to meet people and socialize. Hau, who first came to America from Vietnam 12 years ago, said she can relate to some of the problems the students have. "Sometimes we will just talk about problems they have with

Director sets sail for Germany UCO international sponsor to attend foreign education seminar By Tami Watson Staff Writer Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of the University of Central Oklahoma International Office, has been chosen to attend the 1992 Baden-Wurttemburg Seminar in Baden-Wurttemburg, Germany, October 20 through 27. The seminar is sponsored by the German Ministry of Science and Art and focuses on the German exchange system, GermanAmerican academic equivalencies and student exchange between two countries. Those attending the seminar
will attend lectures, discussions and visits to different schools in the German state of BadenWurttemberg. "I am most pleased to have been selected for this opportunity," said Paddack. "The German educational system is one of the world's strongest educational systems, and I welcome this chance for indepth study." Ten other universities have been invited to attend the seminar including the University of Indiana; the University of Connecticut; Cornell; the University of Oregon; Kansas State University; the University of Kentucky; the University of Tennessee-
Knoxville; the University of Minnesota; the University of California-Davis; and the University of Texas-El Paso. "I am pleased that we are smaller than many other universities, but we were invited to this important seminar," said Paddack. The differences between the U.S. school system and the German school system are quite broad, Paddack said. "Germans want to establish more common ground between their educational system and ours," he said.
Dr. Ronald Paddack
"They want U.S. educators to understand their school system so that exchange students from Ger-

Interior decorators invade presidential suite By Allen Norbury Staff Writer There was furniture that hadn't been moved in more than 17 years. After all the desks, file cabinets and bookshelves were moved, the commercial grade blue-and-gold school color carpet reaffirmed the fact that former University of Central Oklahoma President Bill Lillard is truly gone. The two month remodeling of
the president's office got underway July 1 with the moving of the presidential office to the president's conference room. Assistant to the president, Ed Pugh's secretary, Kati Schmidt, said the moving process went well under Pugh's direction. "It went very smooth. We all wore our grubbies and started in," she said. Schmidt did have a few surprises however. "We found things we didn't know we had. Also, we
Nigh focuses attention on equity for students, employees at UCO After months of keeping plans under cover, University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh has announced that his number one priority is student equity. "Oklahomans have long supported access to education," said Nigh. "Once the student gets to our campus it's our job to make certain that no barriers stand in their way for access to their classes." Nigh said the university has a similar responsibility to make sure its employees have equal opportunity for employment, and once employed, are treated fairly. "In that spirit, my very first official act of duty is to ask for approval from the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges to create at UCO a new position of Equity Officer," said Nigh.
According to Nigh, the new officer will be responsible for coordinating all fairness issues, such as access for the disabled, equal opportunity employment and sexual harassment. "Under President Lillard's dynamic leadership we have made great strides in accessibility. I am also asking the regents to approve spending from our existing funds an additional $1.2 million to put on a fast track the effort to make the entire campus accessible," said Nigh. The new expenditures will allow UCO to continue installing ramps, elevators and power doors in order to remove structural barriers. Additional projects will include improving access to lavatories and offices, signs and classroom and study aids. V

Put the DAN back into DAVE and... By Justin Harper
Sports Editor
When Dan O'Brien fell to the mat after failing to clear his third and final attempt at a 15'9" high pole vault at the U.S. Olympic Trials, more than the bar came down with him. What descended to earth on that the 27th of June was the world's greatest decathlete and America's best chance of tasting decathlon gold in Barcelona. O'Brien, who gained fame in Reebok's Dave and Dan commercials, faulted in the pole vault after building a huge 512 point lead and finishing the first half of the decathlon with a record total 4,698 points. As a result, instead of representing his country as the event favorite and possibly etching his name in gold into the history books, O'Brien will meanly be an observer to the culmination of the very thing he has devoted the better part of his 25 year-old life to. Dave Johnson, the other half of Dave and Dan, went on to win the competition and a first-class ticket to Barcelona as the "new" favorite in the decathlon. Johnson is an excellent decathlete but he is not of the stature of O'Brien. That America is not sending their best performer in any particular event is a travesty. Granted that's why they hold the trials, but it says here
that some how, some way Dan O'Brien should be competing at the 1992 Olympics. There is no real acceptable way of making the exception, but I still say make one any way. There may be other athletes who came close and just did not quite make it, but none of whom have the impact of O'Brien, who is the reigning world champion. Will the U.S. bend the rules and let O'Brien compete? Not a chance. Would any of the worlds other countries in the same predicament? Damn straight. Not to say the rest of the world has a better way of handling the selection of their Olympic squads, far from it, but it just seems ridiculous that everyone else does whatever it takes to supply the games with their best athletes and we don't. The fact some other countries go as far as to cheat, use performance enhancing drugs and lie about qualifying performances (do the words "East German woman" ring a bell?) leads me to believe we have a flaw in the system when one of our truly dominant participants watches his event on cable T.V.'s Olympic triple-cast. There's always the argument that O'Brien isn't as great as advertised, and that his pole vault blunder proved that. Could be, but tell me this, would Michael Jordan be left off the U.S. basketball team if he chunked up an air-ball?
Would Jim Courier be cut from the tennis team if he double faulted? Would Butch Reynolds not be allowed to compete if he tested positive for steroids...well, O.K. let's forget about that last one, but you get the point. Besides O'Brien had cleared 16 feet in warm-ups 10 minutes prior to the competition. Another reason for my plea for the impossible inclusion is because of the length of the decathlon. I'm not going to campaign for Carl Lewis to be in the 100 meter run, in which he finished an atrocious sixth place at the trials, even though he's the world record holder in the event. Why? Because that's a one shot deal, it's one event, the decathlon is TEN events. Come to think of it though I wouldn't argue about sending Lewis either. The O'Brien ordeal is the most heart-breaking Olympic fall since Mary Decker's fatefull plummet to the track at the heal of Zola Budd. However it ranks behind the U.S.'s boycott of the 1980 games in Moscow, one man's misery doesn't compare to the pain of 110 athletes with star's in their eyes and flags over their hearts. Regardless of my ranting and raving O'Brien won't be going for that Olympic glory until 1996 in Atlanta. Here's hoping when he vaults into that Georgia sky he'll come down with a golden reason to never look back. V

Bird and Stockton cleared for games Associated Press
(AP)—Larry Bird, whose status on the U.S. Olympic basketball team was uncertain because of back problems, appears ready to go. "I would say he's Barcelona bound." said Ed Lacerte, the Boston Celtics and Team USA's trainer. Bird, who played in just two of the six games the United States had in the recent tournament of the Americas, will accompany the team to Europe on Saturday. "This is something that he really desperately wants to do, and it looks like he's on track to do it," said Dave Gavitt, the president of USA basketball and senior executive vice president of the Celtics. Utah Jazz guard John Stockton, who sustained a fractured right leg in the tournament, said last week that he probably will be ready to play too.

"He was a campus policeman and was making his rounds when he saw Thorton standing by a window north of the stairway looking out," Poe said. Other people around the theater have noticed Thornton as well, he said. At the same time, Poe said, in a large building when the lights are turned out people get apprehensive, some get the "willies."

The drops flew into the rafters so the person holding them went with it," Hartpence said. Lights did strange things as well. "We would put• the lights up, and they would flicker and there wouldn't be anyone around," she added. During Biloxi Blues, props must have grown legs and wandered around, or Thornton did it. Hartpence believes the latter. "A lot of props like hats would disappear and reappear. One hat disappeared and reappeared in the orchestra pit. It was in the green room.

`But what about Erica, and the woman in the well, and... By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer
It never really hit me how silly and socially disabled I seemed watching daytime drama until I took a moment to study my deranged behavior.
Column After "my" soaps were over I analyzed the characters jobs and their lifestyles. For some strange reason I realized we all had nothing in common. They either own a high-fashion cosmetic company, received a really large inheritance or just don't bother to work at all, but still live a better lifestyle than Ivana Trump. They spend their time throwing masquerade balls, journeying across the country to find themselves or scheming to overtake a rival company. Now wait a minute, I never have time to do any of these things! That's no fair! The children, oh the children, how fast they grow up. They are almost always born to a couple invovled in a love triangle and seem to age from two to eighteen within
three months of dialogue. Once they come of age, and sometimes a lot younger, they play like-mother-like-daughter and start drinking alcohol and sleeping around. Get real...this surely can't happen to every teenager on the soap opera circuit! But of all the humor and all the knee-deep-in-dog-doo, the coming-back-from-the-dead storyline is definetly my favorite. I've learned not to mourn for anyone that is bumped off in TV land. See, once they die, it's fun to guess how creatively the producers bring them back.
The final things I noticed about daytime drama is that the characters never eat, sleep, use the restroom, enjoy being outside unless it's a weekend love fest, wear outfits that cost less than $100, get sick unless it's a incurable disease, or order a coke instead of a margarita or wine. I guess these things are what make soaps s000 intriguing! We know we don't live like they do, act like they do, or look like they do, but we can for a brief hour Monday-Friday!

Mary has no Hart, neighbors say KALISPELL, Mont. (AP) - Mary Hart and husband Burt Sugarman have angered some of their Montana neighbors with plans to fence off public land for extra privacy. The couple bought 130 acres last summer on Whitefish Lake, 14 miles north of Kalispell in northwestern Montana. Neighbors John Rooney and Jelly Garrott said that Hat, cohost of "Entertainment Tonight," and Sugarman, a TV producer, plan to build a milelong fence and lease about 50 acres of adjoining state land for more privacy. The split-rail fence would block some small dead-end roads and the land has been used by the public for years, Rooney and Garrott said. The fence, they said, would ruin the atmosphere. "We're very much opposed to it," Rooney said. The lease has not yet been granted.
Poll puts candidates in dead heat WASHINGTON (AP) - Bill Clinton is in a statistical dead heat with President Bush, and both are ahead of Ross Perot, according to a new nationwide poll of likely voters. The New York Times-CBS News poll, published in today's editions of the Times, shows Clinton trailing Bush by 3 percentage points, 33 percent to 30 percent, with undeclared candidate Perot coming in at 25 percent. The Times-CBS survey was based on telephone interviews with 1,032 registered voters Wednesday through Saturday. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Things not rosy for a busted Axi NEW YORK (AP) - The law finally caught up with Axl Rose. The lead singer of Guns N' Roses was arrested recently at Kennedy International Airport on year-old charges stemming from a riot at a St. Louis concert. Rose already had told St. Louis authorities he would surrender this week to face four misdemeanor assault counts and one count of damage to property, Bridenthal said. Rose, 30, of Los Angeles, was released on S100,000 bail after spending almost 11 hours in custody. Wearing a Guns N' Roses T-shirt, he left by limousine after his arraignment and sped off without speaking to reporters.
Bra a bargain at $14,000 BETHESDA, Md. (AP) - If Marilyn Monroe were alive today, what would she make of "Norma's Jeans," a new mailorder catalog of celebrity memorabilia that sells one of her old bras for $14,000? The bra, which Monroe wore in "Some Like it Hot," is one of several pricey items in the extensive catalog, along with a silver and turquoise belt of Elvis Presley's and the green velvet costume Greta Garbo wore in "Mata Hari." Movie buff Richard L. Wilson says he's sold over 100 items since he launched the catalog three months ago. Someone snatched up a large selection of Jodie Foster's costumes from the movie "Little Man Tate." And a $900 outfit Jennifer Beals wore in "Flashdance" also didn't last long.
Watch who you follow in Illinois ELMHURST, Ill. (AP) - A new law makes it a felony to harass or repeatedly follow people in Illinois. The law bars judges from releasing without bond people suspected of stalking. Those who threaten someone, then follow them or wait for them outside their home, school or workplace face up to three years in prison. Legislators pushed for the law after two people were stalked and killed in this Chicago suburb in February. Before Jan. 1, only California had such a law, said Donna Hunzeker, manager of the criminal justice program at the National Conference of State Legislatures in Denver. Since
then, 21 states have enacted anti-stalking laws.
By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer Residents of the state of Oklahoma were urged on July 6 at the State Capital grounds to "complete the loop" as "Project ReDirectory" kicks off a month-long drive to recycle old phonebooks.
Dick Dugan, president of OKC Beautiful, said the project has continued to grow each year. He attributes the growth to the cooperation between the cities and their organizations throughout the state. The phonebooks will be taken
The University of Central Oklahoma is also doing its part by making available in each building a designated area to drop off old phonebooks, said June Stone, central receiving. Phonebooks may be dropped off until July 18 on campus. The books will then be taken to a recycling facility. In 1991, Oklahomans recycled over one million pounds of phonebooks. That is equivalent to 12,506 trees and 1,908 yards of landfill space.
