Enclosed habitat project underway ORACLE, Ariz. (AP)—Eight environmental pioneers will be sealed inside a 2.25 acre terrarium which duplicates the Earth's ecosystem for a two-year period beginning September. The project is intended to develop solutions to problems from pollution to waste management and pest control and will serve as a prototype for future space habitats. A glass and enameled steel frame with high-tech apartments, offices, labs, a library and recreation room will support four men and four women. The crew will share a rain forest, savannah, fresh and saltwater marshes, desert and an agricultural plot with 3,800 species of plants and animals.
District Attorney says system failed OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—An 18-year-old burglary suspect shot by a 71-year-old Muskogee woman less than a month after being released from a detention center is an example of the state juvenile justice system's "total failure," said Oklahoma County District Attorney, Bob Macy. Tommy Cunningham and two other men are charged with a Muskogee County burglary after Geraldine Brown shot Cunningham when she heard her door being kicked in. Cunningham was 13 when he was placed in detention for the 1986 clubbing death of an Oklahoma City man.
Fall activity fees climbing By Jeanette McAmis
Staff Writer
With the 1991 fall enrollment at the University of Central Oklahoma, inflation will hit student activity fees for the first time since 1982. Student activity fees are being increased to $4 per credit hour in order to cover increased budget requests by campus clubs and organizations, said Joyce Mounce, administration vice president. The State Regents for Higher Education
approved the increase in June, after reviewing a UCO committee report. "We have projected $265,000 as an expected increase in budget, from the additional student activity fees," said Mounce. The UCO budget for campus activities listed expenditures of $928,983 for 1990-91. For 1991-92 it lists projected expenditures at $1,101,693. "This is the first year we've had a committee to go over the various organization budget requests and give us reasons to justify the fee increase," Mounce said. The committee was made up of student
and faculty representatives. Dr. Deanna Land, student services, served as committee chair. The fee increase was greatly needed according to Mounce. "We were in such a crunch three years ago that many things, like wages and such, were being paid for out of the E and G (education and general) budget," Mounce said. To justify the increase, student organizations and clubs submitted formal requests for budget money. After the budgets were V See Fees,

Dentist with AIDS loses practice SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP)—A dentist infected with the AIDS virus had his license suspended after a colleague told state officials he was too sick to practice. The Georgia Board of Dentistry voted Thursday in an emergency meeting to suspend the license of Dr. Ronal Marasco of Savannah on grounds he was too sick to practice, not because he has AIDS. The board had received a letter from a Savannah physician Wednesday detailing Marasco's condition, said Deputy Attorney General, Stephanie Manis. A full hearing is scheduled for Sept. 10, when the state will decide whether to warn Marasco's patients, Manis said V See World Wrap, back page.

Justice is losing
I
f George Bush is against quotas and opposes affirmative action, why then did he nominate Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court? He nominated him because he is black. Which is the right thing to do, there should be black representation on the Court, but replacing Thurgood Marshall with a conservative like Thomas is a travesty of justice. If Thomas is appointed he will instantly become one of the most powerful men in America, and it cannot be said that he has shown the aptitude or experience to wield that power. There must be other, more moderate black candidates with higher qualifications. Thomas is simply the person Bush could find to best further his own cause. He is a clone of all the other conservative republican Supreme Court appointees. Thomas was not a great scholar or a long-term lower court justice. When Bush called him "the best person for the job," he must have been joking. It seems odd Thomas is now the prime candidate and was not even on the list of alternates when Bush selected David Souter. Thomas is a product of timing. He is conservative, black and politically correct. The Court would be better served if a black who is more liberal, was nominated. Thomas has openly opposed civil rights. He once said, all civil-rights leaders ever do is bitch moan and whine. He has accused black leaders of creating a cult mentality that has hypnotized black Americans into a mindless political trance. He has attacked affirmative action as more hindrance than help, and he sees welfare as an unnecessary encumbrance. The beauty of the American system of justice has always been its checks and balances. If the pendulum swings too far left it will move back to the right. The fear is if another conservative justice is appointed to the Supreme Court we will move too far right to ever come back. If that happens, then the freedom and liberty this country was founded on will be lost.

Separating 'young' from 'old'
By Jo Pydynkowsky
Guest Columnist
It's the same old song, just when you start getting your stride, right around 40, someone comes along and infers you are "old." It makes me wonder. When is the break-off point between young and old? You are "young" when: "mommy" is the largest word in your vocabulary; you look up at someone's face and forget what
they're saying because you are counting the hairs in their nose; candy is your main desire; and when you are terrified to go home because you received a "D" on your report card. That's "young" with a capital "y". But, there is another young, with a lowercase "y". This state of mind is unfathomable and still under study. You are this when: the most valuable item in your pocket is your comb; your car is an extremity and necessary for catching girls; night time is party time and day time is a bummer; creative writing becomes a survival tool (writing excuses takes genius); and when you believe your parents are the hardest responsibility you'll ever have to handle. I love the last one.
I know what "old" is, and I am not there yet. I think you are "old" when: the things you did as a child are being taught in history class; the kid you used to hang out with is now president of the largest corporation in the world and doesn't remember your name; sitting still for longer than five minutes puts you to sleep; people ask you about "the good ol' days"; and when you have to plan ahead to take a walk because it takes all day to get around the block. There is one more thing. I think "old" is when you close your mind to new ideas because they don't fit your idea of proper. You have then become what you hated about your parents and it is over, and you are "old."

Students help the homeless By David Meadows Student Writer Students involved with the Baptist Student Union at the University of Central Oklahoma did more than talk about helping the homeless when they engaged in their two-week summer mission program in Jefferson City, Tenn., May 20-June 1. Three UCO and seven other state university students went to assist with the Appalacian Mountain Outreach project, said Janay Moody, associate BSU director. The project is sponsored by Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tenn. Laura Holland, a UCO senior speech/language pathology major, said she learned to see the needs of others.
"We ate our meals in the Samaritan House with the homeless people," Holland said. "We got to build some real relationships and learn about those who had nothing." Half of the group helped a fam ily who could not afford to fix their house. The house was uninhabitable by any standard, Moody said. The other half of the group helped run the shelter and do repairs there, Moody said. "Rural poverty is different than inner city poverty," Moody said. "They're hard working people who didn't want to go on government assistance. It's not that they didn't want to work, the opportunity just hasn't come around." The BSU group paid for the materials they used for repairs on the project with money from fundrais-
Concert remains UCO tradition By Kathy Karr Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma students and the Edmond community can take part in two summertime traditions at 7 p.m. tonight at the free Ice Cream and Watermelon Concert held on the south lawn in front of the University Center. The concert tradition began 41 years ago. The show used to be in conjunction with Edmond High School until 1969, when the high school decided to put on their own summer concert, said Dr. Melvin Lee, UCO music professor. UCO's Summer Band and Summer Choir will perform musi-
ing projects last year, Holland said. Holland said that 12-14 groups from across the nation will help with the outreach project throughout the summer. V
cal selections such as "You're a Grand Old Flag," "America" and "Gershwin On Broadway." The concert will last approximately an hour. The band consists of anyone who wants to sign up, Lee said. Past summer bands have included alumni, high school and college students and professional musicians. Band members have even brought their children to perform in the band, Lee said. The audience is welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Last summer's turnout was estimated at 500 people. The ice cream and watermelon will be served after the concert. V

ERTAINMENT The Screaming Jets debut album By Kathy Karr Staff Writer Throw away your preconceptions of Australian music as the type churned out by INXS or Air Supply. The Aussies are taking the first step in cornering the barband, hard-rock market with the album debut of the Newcastle band, The Screaming Jets. The band, consisting of David Gleeson, vocals; Grant Walmsley, guitar/vocals; Paul Woseen, bass/ vocals; Richard Lara, guitar/ vocals; and Brad Henney, drums, formed in 1989. The band signed to the Australian label, rooArt and went straight into the studio to record their first album "All For One."
The Screaming Jets laid down 15 songs in 18 days, which ac-
counts for the great live sound this album has. It could have been recorded in any small club anywhere in the world. The album has a great, satisfying guitar-grunge sound. The album kicks of with the headbangers "C' mon" and "Better." The Jets then rock into the angry-sounding "Needle" a first-person lament about heroin addiction.
REVIEW "Shine On" is a slow-tempo, bluesy track. Other album highlights are "Blue Sashes," "Sister Tease" and "The Only One." The band shows a songwriting flexibility rarely seen in music today. Lyrically, the band touches on subjects of love, sex, drug addiction and Vietnam. V

Student wins nationwide contest By Kathy Karr Staff Writer University of Central Oklahoma graphic design senior, Steve Disney, won first place in a nationwide competition for scenic and costume design with his set design for UCO's musical "Chicago." It was the first time Disney had ever designed a set for a theatrical production. "It was a definite thrill," Disney said. The competition took place at Wichita State University and was open to all undergraduates, he said. Disney's prize-winning design will tour the nation and become a permanent part of the University Theatre collection at Wichita State.
"That's great!" Disney said. "I'm hoping that someone in New York or L.A. will see it and keep an eye on me, or maybe someone will offer me a scholarship." Disney said he had always wanted to be involved in design. "I was interested in designing for movies, animation and theater," he said. Disney said last spring he had the opportunity to enroll in a course in individual study in set design. The course was taught by Matt Aston, oral communication assistant professor. "It's a lot of fun," Disney said. "For one thing it's very artistic and it also involves graphic design. It's also great seeing something you've designed actually built." The process of creating a set design is complicated, Disney said. A designer has to do everything
from choosing props to designing buildings. Research has to be done on almost all aspects of the period in which a play is set. "You have to check out a lot of books," Disney said. Disney, will be designing the set for UCO's spring production of "Biloxi Blues". An aspect of the theater Disney appreciates is audience response. "It can be instant gratification or instant letdown, depending on the audience reaction," he said. Disney, who will graduate from UCO in the fall of '92, is looking at several colleges for graduate school, among them New York University and Yale. He would like to pursue a career in the theater. "It's really what I want to do," Disney said. "I would also like to teach." V

The U.S.S.R. is facing a major economic crisis, and some people say a possible revolution, said James H. Brewster, University of Central Oklahoma management associate professor. "They have horrible problems. I stayed there for one week and I was glad to get out," Brewster said, after returning from a 15-day vacation of seven different countries, including Russia. "They have made a lot of progress in some areas, such as engineering," Brewster said. "They have put their people in space, but they still have a long way to go to improve individual lifestyles." In Russia the government owns almost everything, Brewster said. The people just don't have the incentive we have here in the United States. "Personally, I think they are not going to work until they gain something," he said. "At the moment, whether you work or not, you get the same money." That is the problem with a phi-

For the first time, new student orientation at the University of Central Oklahoma is taking on a different focus, it is changing from an enrollment orientation to a university orientation. "Orientation Expedition: Trekking through the Jungle," will attempt to answer questions and concerns of incoming students and their parents on Aug. 24, said Susan Thompson, UCO student activities director and orientation organizer. "Our main goal is to make them feel comfortable and to help them meet other students," Thompson said. Thompson researched orientation programs at the University of Arkansas, Wichita State University, Cameron University, Tulsa University and Rose State University to gather ideas and concepts. "All the universities were different," Thompson said. "We took what works for them and combined it into a successful program for UCO."
The majortiy of ideas came from Cameron University because of their extensive student participation, Thompson said. "Their campus leaders are involved in orientation," Thompson said, "We've contacted about 30 of our leaders and they're excited about helping." Students may choose to attend the informational sessions that best fit their needs. Topics include study skills, financial aid, date rape, the UCO health center, ROTC and others. A separate program will introduce parents to administrators and campus resources to help make the transition as easy as possible for them. Thompson said it is important for parents to know what resources are available for their children. She said the student orientation is scheduled in conjunction with the housing orientation weekend since school begins the following Tuesday. For more information, contact the student activities office, Ext. 2363 by Aug. 8 for reservations. V

Jones' final remarks: "I've fallen and I can't get up." ■ Russian pole vaulter Sergei Bubka will still be attempting to hit record heights, because someone forgot to tell him the Berlin wall has been removed. ■ The University of Tulsa football schedule coordinators will join Jones in the ranks of the unemployed after scheduling games against the likes of Texas A&M, Miami (Fla.) and Louisville. ■ New UCO president Vince Orza will convert Broncho Field House into a much-needed classroom facility. ■ OSU football coach Pat Jones will be hired as scheduling coordinator at the University of Tulsa. ■ UCO officials, still arguing over the spelling of "Broncho" will compromise and decide to follow the sports editor's wishes and change the name of the school's mascot to the "Commuters," replacing the Broncho on the field house lawn with a Yugo.

Contracts limit fun for players NEW YORK (AP)—Wayne Gretzky can't lift a lacrosse stick. Roger Clemens can't join a jai-alai game. Jose Rijo can't play polo. Will Clark can't crawl in caves. As baseball athletes' salaries increase, their contracts become more confuting, forbidding as many as 54 activities for one player. Teams don't want their high-priced property getting hurt. "They put in literally anything you can think of said agent Doug Baldwin. If you were to read this literally, you'd come to the conclusion:they don't want these guys doing much of anything in the off-season." "The risk is so much greater," said Boston Red Sox General Manager Lou Gorman, who stopped outfielder Mike Greenwall from driving a race car. When you guarantee that contract for two, three, four years, it's a tremendous risk."
Food leftover from war finds few WASHINGTON (AP)—The Pentagon is finding few takers after trying to, give away millions of the highly criticized Meals Ready to Eat left over from Operation Desert Storm to starving people across the globe. Political, religious and bureaucratic snarls have prevented MREs from going to southern Sudan, Kenya and the Horn of Africa, where 15 to 17 million people face starvation. One million MREs have gone to Ethiopia, which will be given to stranded soldiers left hungry by the fall of the government in May, U.S. officials said. Even U.N. relief agencies are reluctant to take the food, although transporting it would be free, because they lacked storage or means to distribute the meals, U.S. officials said. "We're really disappointed that the relief agencies won't take the food," said the U.S. Committee for Refugees director. "When you're hungry, you'll eat anything."
"Horror show" image misleading WASHINGTON (AP)-Displaying oddities such as a Union general's amputated leg, President Lincoln's skull fragments, mummified Siamese twins, a dissected human ear and a gangrenous human foot have given the National Museum of Health and Medicine the image of a freak show. This reputation has clouded over the museum's 129-year history of breakthroughs in medical research led by doctors on staff at the parent Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. It was here that Walter Reed conquered yellow fever, allowing construction of the Panama Canal, and here that the world's first vaccine against typhoid fever was produced to protect American soldiers in World War I. In 1896, it took one of the first full-body X-rays. Contained within are 350,000 historical objects, 20,000 specimens and 2.2 million documents and photographs.
Loose ape frightens neighbors LARGO, Fla. (AP)—A resident's ape escaped and got into a neighbor's house, terrorized the homeowners, ran after their dogs and left the place a mess. A three-foot Celabese ape escaped Sunday from its cage a few streets away and entered Shirley and Norton Craig's home. "It just blew by me," said Craig. "He was a mean-looking thing. He looked like King Kong in miniature." By the time police arrived, Roscoe was racing from the mantle to chairtops to behind the TV and to any other place that seemed safe. Wildlife Rescue Director Vernon Yates corralled the ape behind an aquarium.
Birth control a luxury elsewhere WASHINGTON (AP)—Condoms, birth-control pills, intrauterine devices and sterilization are priced as a luxury item in much of the world, said a report by the Population Crisis Committee last week. An average woman in Chad would have to pay nearly threefourths of a year's income for an intrauterine device, and even condoms are priced out of reach for couples in 59 countries, the study said. Estimating that the average couple needs about 100 condoms a year, the report recommends the cost of birth control not to be more than one percent of the average per capita income. In six countries, it exceeds 25 percent.
reviewed, the various groups had an opportunity to address the committee. "Each organization had to do a lot of work to justify their request," Land said. Many of the requests were for travel money, food, scholarships and operating expenses. There were, however, a number of sizable requests and awards. The Midwestern Summer Choral Institute, a new campus organization, received about $10,000. "The institute will bring in high school students and give them intense musical training," Land said. "It's also used as a recruiting tool." The Ebony Choir is receiving a $1,400 increase over last year's budget to cover the cost of drums, cymbals and increased travel expenses.

Listed, in the UCO 1991-92 budget, under athletics, tickets and events was a $6,500 increase labeled administration. "That additional money will go for various increases," said John Wagnon, athletic director. "We didn't really add anything new." Those increases include $300 for travel, $500 for office expenses (pencils, paper, etc), $100 for office furniture and $900 for miscellaneous administration expense. Wagnon said the miscellaneous will cover the cost of officials for the games and campus food service for the athletics. This year the budget for football went down by more than $13,000. Wagnon credits the decrease to the team being on the road only three nights this season. Overall, men's sports received more money than women's. "Traditionally there are always more men participating in sports than women." Wagnon said.

Wagnon also pointed out whenever the men and women travel together, the cost of travel expenses come out of the men's budget. Listed in the budget under athletic scholarships were increases of over $25,000. "Those increases didn't include any new scholarships," Wagnon said. "All it covers is the increase in room, board and tuition." Student activity fees also cover interscholastics on the UCO campus in the spring when high school students compete in a scholastic meet. This meet is also used as a recruitment tool. Not all of the activity fee money is going to the groups, just yet, Mounce said. "We want to create a bit of a reserve fund for any emergency that might come up," Mounce said. "Sometimes an association will over extend itself, then we'll be able to bail them out." V
