UCO Central Park ground broken By Heather Canann
Staff Writer Fences are going up everywhere, fields are becoming mountains of dirt, and this once beautiful campus now resembles a war zone. Behind the University Center (UC), fences block paths many students took to get from one class to another, or to the UC. Bulldozers will dig a large hole in the center of the deep field students dubbed, during the spring flooding, "Thatcher Lake." Students will never cross the center of that field again, unless they are swimming through. Digging of a pond is scheduled to begin after the summer semester to avoid interference between students and the trucks that will haul dirt away from the Cental Park area. After construction is finished, the pond, which is unnamed at this time, will cover a large portion of the area named Central Park. An ampitheater near the back entrance to the UC will face

Barbecue grills will be spread out around the pond for use by students, faculty, staff and organizations, said Nick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president of administration. A blue liner will be placed at the bottom of the lake to keep
the water clear and fresh looking, instead of looking like the typical red mud lakes of Oklahoma, said Widener Without disturbing the existing foliage, new trees and grasses will be planted around Thatcher Lake. Short Bermuda grass and

This year, Rao said, it was not listed because these grants cost the university nothing once the reimbursement is received. Rao said he is not concerned that the regents might not pay. "They have done it for three years," he said.
he American Red Cross, in conjunction with Oklahoma City businesses and fire stations, is offering metro area residents free certifying CPR classes during the "Big Push. "There are a lot of good reasons to know CPR," said Cathy Garrett, public relations director at the Oklahoma County Red Cross chapter. "You never know when you'll have to put it to use. It is usually someone close to you," said Garrett. Classes will be taught at five metro area fire stations and will be offered mornings, afternoons and evenings, Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursday evenings through the month of July. "As a CPR instructor, I can't emphasize enough the importance of knowing CPR," said Suzie Anderson, UCO student and "Big Push" instructor. "I think knowing what to do in an emergency empowers people to act when they may not otherwise. You can save someone's life, just by spending four hours of your time to learn some basic skills," said Anderson. To join, call the Baptist Careline at 946-CARE. A,

Higher tobacco costs could save many lives

magine a drug cartel moving in on your street. Imagine those individuals selling illicit drugs to your children and neighbors all the while knowing how addictive they really are. Most of us would strongly object, yet that is exactly what the tobacco industry does when it sells tobacco products to the American public. Nicotine, the drug in tobacco, kills nearly 500,000 people in the U.S. each year. Its use kills more Americans than illicit drugs, auto crashes, homicides, and suicides combined. This insidious drug is said to be as addictive as heroin or cocaine and its use is recognized as a serious drug problem by both the World Health Organization and the U.S. Public Health Service. Yet, tobacco remains the least taxed and regulated drug ever to be sold. Tobacco-drug dealers such as Phillip Morris and RJR/Nabisco have become powerful constituents in U.S. politics because their legislative lobby, the Tobacco Institute, uses public relations and advertising campaigns to consistantly contradict known scientific fact regarding smoking and desease. In an Internet document related to tobacco products, Michael Pertschuk, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission said "there has never been a health hazard so perfectly proven as smoking, and it is a measure of the industry's success that it is able to create the illusion of controversy in what is so elegantly a closed scientific case." The tobacco lobby continues to use misinformation and financial clout to develop what Representative Michael Synar of Oklahoma calls a "stranglehold over Congress." One solution to a drug problem points to lessening the number of drug users. It is proven that a substantial increase in tobacco product prices is the most effective way to reduce tobacco use, especially among youths. But recent anti-tobacco lobby attempts to raise taxes on tobacco have been nixed by the industry's stronger opposition. Despite the proven effectiveness of increased taxes on reducing smoking rates and saving lives in countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom, tobacco-related taxes in the US, as a precentage of the retail price, fell to under one-fourth in 1990. Currently, U.S. cigarette excise taxes are the lowest among the 19 most industrialized nations, according to World Health Organization reports. A

CBA contributes to Relief Fund OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Continental Basketball Association has given a $15,000 check to the Mayor's Disaster Relief Fund for bombing victims. "The Oklahoma City community has been an important part of the CBA family for five years," league commissioner Tom Valdiserri said Thursday. "The people of Oklahoma City have been avid supporters of the CBA over that time, and hopefully this gift will, in some way, show our appreciation by helping the children who were affected by this terrible incident." The fund has distributed nearly $400,000 to pay a variety of expenses, including counseling, medical costs, housing and auto losses. The payouts of $391,227 leave the fund with a balance of $982,234.

UCO French Club celebrates Bastille Day in Hafer Park By Heather Canann Staff Writer Le Club Francais celebrated Bastille Day, July 14 at Hafer Park with dinner, songs, conversations and a game. The French celebrate Bastille Day to commemorate the destruction of the Bastille, a state prison in Paris that was destroyed during the French Revolution. The French Club began their celebration by singing La Marseillaise, the French national anthem. Those who didn't know the words sang the Beatles song All You Need Is Love, which begins with the same tune as the anthem. French Club members, families and friends gathered around
the picnic table to share a small potluck dinner. Waving their hands over their plates to keep swarming flies away, they feasted on different ethnic foods. After dinner a few people played "les boules," also known as "le petanque" in southern French regions. In the game, each player throws two colored balls, which normally weigh about five kilograms. A small white ball, which resembles a ping-pong ball, is placed in a level area on the ground. Players take turns throwing their balls until one player's ball remains touching the white ball for an entire turn. Hassan Elmouni, a native from Morocco, instructed the other players on the rules of the game.

Journalism chair objects to Vista editor's front page news judgment strongly object to your news judgment in the last issue of The Vista. A multitude of departments on campus have new faculty coming here this fall. There are a multitude of people on this campus—all of whom have stories to tell—who have never even had their names in the paper. To take the hiring of a journalism professor and make it your top story is wrong journal-
istically and ethically, because it gives unfair treatment to this department. To be fair, you must now put the hiring of every new professor for this fall in the same spot— that ought to take care of your fall front pages. The Vista is not the official publicity organ of the journalism department—it is the
voice of the students and the campus. Get out of the building and cover the campus. That said, we are extremely pleased to have Mrs. Kelsey on our staff this fall—she fills a critical need as a top professional in the public relations field and is an excellent teacher. The story—although prema-
ture since it should have run this fall—was well-written, and the accompanying photo was the kind we need more of. It just did-
n't belong on the front page. —Dr. Terry M. Clark, chairman, journalism department

Genetic research relates homosexuality to 'gay genes' same eye color or shoe size or any other obvious characteristics," as stated in TIME maga-
By Heather Canann Staff Writer Homosexuality is a part of world history dating back as far as 2355-2261 B.C. in Egypt when the earliest pair of homosexual lovers were recorded as stated in Homosexuality in the
Ancient World. Ancient Greece encouraged older men to take younger boys as lovers. However, acceptance in Western civilization is slow because of the religious overtones in the American society as stated in Homosexuality in the Ancient World. Now, recent scientific studies suggest homosexuality is genetic. Questions have been raised about the sociological impact such findings may have on our culture. What effects will proof of a gay gene have on the gay community? What effects will it have on the heterosexual community? In 1991, studies showed it was more likely for identical twins to have the same sexual orientation than other pairs of siblings, said TIME magazine, June 12, 1995. "Families of 76 gay men included a much higher proportion of homosexual male relatives than found in the general poplulation," as stated in TIME magazine, July 26, 1993. "A seperate study of the DNA from 40 pairs of homosexual brothers found that 33 pairs shared five different patches of genetic material grouped around a particular area on the X chromosome...The sequence of genes varies greatly from one brother to another," as stated in TIME magazine. "Much overlap between brothers who also share a sexual orientation is unlikely to be just coincidence. The fact that 33 out of 40 pairs of gay brothers were found to share the same sequences of DNA in a particular part of the chromosome suggests that at least one gene related to homosexuality is located in that region. Homosexuallity was the only trait that all 33 pair shared; the brothers didn't all share the 141 Schoolhouse Shirt Worksl (Across from the library, just behind the 7-Eleven.)

zine. But Dr. Suzan Waller, professor of sociology and humanities at UCO, said the percentage of twins studies is too small. If there is a slight genetic influence, you've still got many sociocultural opportunities to engage in homosexual relationships. "Even if there is a genetic basis, it's probably not going to be a major portion of anything," said Waller. Many gays are wary of the genetic studies because it may implicate homosexuality is "a `defect' in need of 'fixing,'" as stated in TIME magazine, June 12, 1995. "While many gay leaders welcomed the study, some are queasy. Its very existence, they fret, implies that homosexuality is wrong and defective," as stated in TIME magazine, July 26, 1993. Moreover, gays worry precise identification of a gay gene might prompt efforts to play with the genetic code of gay adults, or to test during pregnancy and abort potentially gay fetuses, stated TIME magazine. "In 1978, experiments on male primates found that lesions
in the hypothalamus left the monkeys' sex drive vigorous but they lost interest in females. Studies that followed human twins seperated at birth concluded that identical pairs are more likely to be gay than are nonidentical pairs, notes Scott Mendelson of Rockefeller University, 'suggesting it's because to of similarities in the brains and not simply X the way they're raised"' stated TIME magazine, September 9, 1991. Neurobiologist Simon LeVay of the Salk Instutute in San Diego won wide publicity for his analysis of differences to the brain anatomies between straight and gay men. He reported that one tiny section in the brain of homosexual men is less than half the size of that in heterosexual men, stated TIME magazine. But Levay "acknowledges that the brains he studied were of AIDS victims, and he that can not be sure what he saw was genetic rather than the result of disease or some aspect of gay life. LeVay ruled out the disease as a confounding factor: he found homosexual men had smaller hypothalamic bundles than straight men who had died of AIDS, suggesting it is not AIDS that shrinks the clumps of neurons," stated TIME magazine, July 26, 1993. "He analyzed brain tissue from only 41 cadavers (16 straight men, 6 straight women and 19 gay men—LeVay was unable to obtain brain tissue from lesbians). He found that one bundle of neurons in the hypothalamus was nearly three times as large in heterosexual '''')

men as in homosexual men and heterosexual women," stated TIME magazine, September 9, 1991. "Says LeVay: 'This new work and the studies of the twins are two lines of evidence pointing in the same direction. But the DNA evidence is much stronger than the twin studies,"' stated in TIME magazine, July 26, 1993. As long as there is a potential for discrimination, some people will try to keep their homosexuality a private matter, said Waller. With genetic evidence, some people will be more open-minded and say that it's natural, genetically based and something to except, she said. Discrimination has happened with physical diseases and with men versus women in the work place. It is doubtful the process is going to be any different in dealing with homosexuality, she said. Diseases like schizophrenia have not increased public acceptance of them, so it is unlikely that proof of a genetic link would improve social acceptance much, she said. The social response will be a mixture, because people will still say, "They're different from us" and be critical, said Waller. "I think that it will shake up a lot of people, because they have encorporated it into their faith," said Charlie Harjo, senior sociology major and member of the Gay Lesbians Association for Student Support. "Some religions say that people are black because God punished them. That hasn't helped people with black skin tones at all," said Waller. "You're still going to have those people who will say it is God's punishment for something," said Waller. There are a lot of different sets of morals out there. One day, we may get to the point
where we care less about someone's orientation and more about his behavior, she said. "It's also important to differentiate orientation from overt behavior. There are many people who have a particular orientation, but their behavior is just the opposite of that because of social disapproval," said Waller. "It's so easy for parents of homosexuals to feel that they made a mistake because we don't have any real evidence that it is something natural," she said. Cherie Garland of Ahland, Oregon, mother of a 41-year-old gay son, stated in TIME magazine, July 26, 1993: "The first thing any parent of a gay child goes through is guilt. If homosexuality is shown to be genetic, maybe parents and children can get on with learning to accept it." Harjo says that although his mother accepts his homosexuality, his father does not. Finding a genetic basis may allow people who are fighting their homosexuality to accept it and break the myth that it is a choice, said Harjo. In addition, genetic evidence would probably affect many private relationships. Parents might be more relaxed about allowing children to have gay teachers. Some people fear homosexuality will be modeled when their child has a homosexual teacher. This does not happen as often as some might think, said Waller. Heterosexual molestation of children is far more frequent, than homosexuals molestation, she said. If homosexuals are deemed to have a foreordained nature, many of the arguments now used to block equal rights would lose force. "As long as that split happens in this society, there will be people to critcize it, fight it, shame people for it, and I don't see the genetic research altering that," said Waller.

Acting student activities director makes her job official after spring graduation By Paisley Krout
Staff Writer Tawni Corwin, a recent UCO graduate, officially became the director of University Center Activities/Marketing/Summer Conferences this summer. Corwin has been with the University Center Activities office since the summer before her sophomore year. Last November, she was given the chance to be acting director. Since that time, Corwin has graduated from the UCO oral communications department with a degree in public relations and was advanced from acting director to the full-time position. "When you work on the student side, you learn about how to handle the funds and who you need to talk to," said Corwin. "The transition wasn't too difficult, because I'd been watching someone else do it for a while and because I'd had the chance to be acting director." Sponsoring the University Center Activities Board (UCAB), coordinating all University Center activities, Laff Olympics and Homecoming are just some of her responsibilities. Corwin is also responsible for all conferences and camps held on campus. "I generally make sure that all their housing, food and miscellaneous needs are met. If they need a platform or refreshments, I take care of it," said Corwin.
DUI SCHOOL State Certified
As a student at UCO, Corwin was very active. She was president of a student organization every year of her four years at UCO. "I've always been very active. I started out in junior high, just because it was fulfilling for me to give to others," said Corwin. Her activities range from Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) president to Murdaugh Hall council president. Her favorite memory as a student at UCO was the Presidents' Club Christmas Party for Underprivileged Children. "The last two years I was president, so I didn't actually get to adopt a child," said Corwin. "But it's always been my favorite activity on campus." Receiving the President's Leadership Council Scholarship brought Corwin to UCO from Carl Albert High School. "I came to UCO because I
received the PLC scholarship," said Corwin. "I also felt that it was a place I could go and be on my own. It was close enough to home, but it was still far enough away." With all her student activities experience, Corwin looks forward to working with students. "I did some work with students last semester as acting director, but this will be a different role for me," said Corwin. "Many people still see me as a student and I'm trying to break away from that attitude." This fall, Corwin will pursue a masters in speech communications at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. Eventually, she hopes to teach at the university level. "I'd like to teach a class about conference planning and organization," said Corwin. "Helping students learn in a course like that would be one way I could put my experience to good use."

Man freed on bail for killing four LONDON (AP) — A frail 84-year-old man charged with murdering four Jews in Nazi-occupied Belams during World War II was freed on bail Thursday in Britain's first prosecution of its war crimes act. Szymon Serafimowicz, a police commander accused of killing the Jews in three villages over a five-month period in 1941-42, was not asked to enter a plea during a 20-minute hearing at Epsom magistrates' court south of London. He was ordered to remain in Britain and to appear in court , again on Oct. 5. Fifteen police officers in two vans escorted the white-haired Serafimowicz from his home in Banstead, near Epsom, for today's court appearance. He was granted bail on condition that he does not leave Britain or apply for a passport. He cannot leave his house without inforining police.
German-China relation blooming BONN, Germany (AP) — While U.S. relations with China sour over Taiwan, human rights and other issues, Germany is doing business with the Asian giant and winning major deals over American companies. A few hours before China President Jiang Zemin arrived Wednesday at Mercedes' headquarters near Stuttgart, the luxury caiuiaker said it had been chosen over Chrysler Corp. and Ford Motor Co. for a $1 billion joint-venture contract to build minivans and engines in China. The German automaker, a unit of Daimler Benz AG, said it has formed another joint venture to build buses in China with Yangzhou Motor Coach Manufacturer. Other German companies, including Siemens, Porsche and Robert Bosch, signed six more deals with China worth about $430 million. Dresdner Bank and the Bank of China signed an agreement on credits for German exports. The governments themselves signed agreements on economic aid for China and opening consulates in Munich and Canton.
Spanish bull run kills American PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — A 22-year-old American died after being gored in Pamplona's famed bull run Thursday, the first death in 15 years. Matthew Peter Tassio, from the Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn, died at Navarra Hospital shortly after one of six fighting bulls gored him in the abdomen. Injuries are frequent in the bull runs, held each morning during the eight-day San Fermin festival in honor of Pamplona's patron saint. Tassio's death is the first since 1980, when two Spaniards were gored during the frenetic 825-yard sprint down cobbled streets from the corral to the bullring. At least 27 people have been injured in this year's bull runs, including five Americans. There have been 12 fatal gorings since 1924.

$138,659 to UCO for grant matching. However, if they pay that amount this year, it will still leave the research budget $142,341 short of last year's $757,000 total. The difference is in the payment for release time for faculty to do research, Rao said. Normally, if faculty receives release time, an adjunct will teach those hours at a lower rate of pay, Rao said. With release time funded by grants, the university saves money, which is the goal UCO President George Nigh said he is working toward. But, Rao said even the
National Science Foundation and other agencies do not usually allow release time to be funded under their grants. If the grant does not fund release time, faculty must do their research on their own time, Rao said. The UCO 1995-96 budget lists expected receipts of gifts and grants for research at $150,000. Grants contribute funds to three types of research, Rao said. Basic research, usually in science and education, is for long term effect. Curriculum development, in education, liberal arts and business, is for modern course research. Creative activity covers any research not
included in the other two categories. Since the fiscal year began July 1, UCO has already received two grants totaling $129,802, Rao said. Sharon L. Martin, UCO budget director, said 81 faculty members from 27 of the 32 departments, got research funding this year. Each dean, except the graduate dean, gets $2,100 in research funding each year to use at his discretion, Rao said. Also, travel money is provided for faculty members if they are presenting papers on research they have done at UCO, he said.

Herbal remedies may do more harm to users than good By Paisley Krout Staff Writer Feeling tired or stressed? Need to lose a few pounds? Before reaching for one of those "all-natural" energy boosting herbal remedies, check the facts. Although few experts dispute that some supplements offer benefits, it is important to remember that herbs are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have not undergone large clinical studies to verify safety and dosage information for consumers. "One concern is the assumption that these products are safe, simply because they're natural," said Lori A. Love M.D., Ph.D., director of clinical research and review staff in the FDA office of Special Nutritionals. "Arsenic and strychnine are also natural substances. Even if a substance is okay at a low dose, it doesn't mean it's safe with chronic use." Too much of a good thing can be hazardous. "Even with vitamins, if the dose is too high, they start acting like drugs," said Dr. Victor Herbert, professor of medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Save A Life GIVE BLOOD
"Single amino acid supplements can produce an imbalance in the amount of amino acids in the blood and prevent critical, food-derived amino acids from being absorbed in the proper amounts," said Herbert. One danger is that people will decide to take an herb or a supplement, without knowing anything about it, because a friend recommended it, said Dr. Valerie Knotts, associate professor of home economics at UCO. Knotts listed several specific herbs that can be dangerous. Comfrey, used in teas and pills; Ma Huang, used for weight loss; and coltsfoot, used for coughs and congestion, can all be dangerous. "Comfrey contains a chemical toxic to the liver. Ma Huang is not only ineffective, but also

acts on the central nervous system. This can cause high blood pressure," said Knotts. Above everything, consumers must learn to protect themselves and use common sense. "The best place to start would
be to talk to your pharmacist or physician," said Knotts. "A physician has access to patients records and background and could tell a patient if a particular herb could harm them or if it could interfere with other

Soccer club looking for new players By Scott Moore Sports Writer Students who are interested in playing soccer while attending the University of Central Oklahoma can sign up to play on UCO's men's and women's club teams which play indoor and outdoor seasons beginning in September. Students can sign-up early by attending the UCO fall semester new student orientation between 2-4 p.m., Aug. 19 at the University Center ballroom. Subsequent sign-up dates will be determined when club officers have their first meeting after school starts Aug. 21. There will be a sign-up fee of five dollars. "The soccer clubs are student organizations with their own budgets that allow students to have the possibility of playing soccer while attending the University," said Jalal Daneshfar, Activities Coordinator for the International Student Office. "We encourage people to sign-up. Only 18 people can make the roster for a team but those players who don't make the roster can still play and practice with the team but will not be able to make road trips." There is no varsity soccer program at UCO but a women's team may be in the school's future, said Daneshfar. "I think there are plans in the works to create a women's soccer program here at UCO," said Daneshfar. "Because of the gender equity audit by the U.S. Department of Education (in the spring of 1993), this school is supposed to add a women's sport to the athletic program. When that will happen I don't know." "There is no immediate plans at this time to create a soccer program," said UCO Athletic Director John "Skip" Wagnon. "It's probably a long-term goal and if we did create a program, it would probably be a women's program."

Freeman falters at Busch Classic By Mike Erwin Sports Editor After claiming a first round lead, former University of Central Oklahoma golfer Robin Freeman slipped well back into the pack at the PGA Anheuser-Busch Classic at Williamsburg, Va. last weekend. Ted Tryba fired a finalround, three-under-par 68 on Sunday to claim his first victory on the PGA Tour. After a late challenge, Scott Simpson finished one stroke back in second place. While Tryba was inching his way to the top of the leader board, Freeman was gradually sliding into a six-way tie for 34th place. Freeman, who played for the Bronchos in the mid-1980s, opened the four-day tournament with a six-under-par 65, leaving him tied for first with Richard Zokol and Dudley Hart. Each of the next three days, however, Freeman shot rounds of 72 on the River Course of the Kingsmill Golf Club. He eventually finished with a total of 281, three strokes under par and nine strokes behind Tryba. With his performance, Freeman netted $5,555 in prize money.

Broncho recruits satisfy team's needs By Mike Erwin Sports Editor With a star running back and a defensive back in NFL training camps and two starting linebackers also graduated, UCO head coach Gary Howard had a pretty good idea of his football team's recruiting needs. The departure of former Broncho Joe Aska, a third-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders, leaves a gaping hole at running back. Elton Rhoades is trying to make the New York Jets' roster and fellow defensive back John McGuire has also used up his eligibility. On top of that, Brian On and Eric Brinkley, two of last year's starting linebackers, have graduated. The needs were clear, said Howard. The Bronchos were after running backs, defensive backs and linebackers. UCO signed players at each of these positions, but Howard is somewhat cautious in predicting their immediate contributions. "We've lost a lot of talent from last season, but our recruiting should help build some depth at those positions," said Howard. "The freshmen will have a chance to come in and play but it's usually an exception when one comes in and beats someone out for a position." Zack Leonard, a 6-foot, 213pound tailback from Northeastern Oklahoma J.C., enrolled last spring at UCO and earned the number one spot on the depth chart after a strong showing at spring practice. The other newcomer at run-

Craig Dorn, a 6-1, 230pounder from Chickasha, has joined the team after spending a red shirt season at Oklahoma. Other linebackers signed are
freshman Brandon Moss and junior Terry Bell. Moss is a 6-2, 210-pounder from Stillwater and Bell is a 6-3, 225-pounder who is transferring from East Central University. "I'm a little reluctant to say a whole lot about him (Bell) because he wasn't here last spring and I'm not absolutely certain he'll be here this fall," said Howard. "He's a pretty good player, though." The recruits will provide much-needed depth for the Bronchos, said Howard. "Most of them are going to be in top back-up roles. Things could happen, though, and some of them might end up starting for us or having bigger roles on the team."

By Mary Reinauer Student Writer Clint Williams said he thinks his wife has one of the most stunning soprano voices he has ever heard. When the sophisticated audience at the Brevard Music Center heard the Ardmore native sing Mozart's opera The Magic Flute, they agreed. UCO graduate student Noel Graves-Williams was one of twelve sopranos chosen from a field of hundreds of professionals and students who applied for the prestigious Brevard Opera Workshop in Brevard, N.C. On July 2, she distinguished herself in the traditionally difficult role of The Queen of the Night, said Pamela Green, UCO assistant professor of voice. The Saturday-night performance was the highlight of Graves-Williams' workshop experience.
Graves-Williams, a UCO music and German student received "a very nice scholarship for the workshop," said her husband. In addition, Williams received the Sigma Alpha Iota Honor Award as a senior at UCO. Graves-Williams transferred to UCO from Tulsa University to study under Green, who she credits her success . Green credits GravesWilliams, saying a teacher would be lucky to have a student like her come along every thirty or forty years. "I knew from the beginning that Noel had a very unusual instrument," said Green describing her student's voice. Green said "I hoped Noel would have the discipline. I knew her to be a gifted and dedicated student, so I had high hopes."
That faith paid off for GravesWilliams when she literally stopped the show with the dimension, power and size of her voice as she performed the Vengeance Aria. The piece is legendary in opera circles for its difficulties, said her husband, Clint. "This audience is very knowledgeable about opera. They wait for this piece, and will let the performer know if she is less than perfect," Graves-Williams said. "People have actually booed. If your good, you might get a smatering of light applause." Having passed this litmus test, Graves-Williams could go on to do a lot more, said Green. "Noel's quiet, unassuming personality and capacity for hard work will enable her to build on the quality of her craft as her voice matures and her dramatic range increases."
UCO student offers comic relief By Susan Weir Student Writer Cathrine Johnson, UCO student and grandmother, makes no joke about her night life. The junior general studies major is also a veteran stand-up comic, known on stage as Kari Grant. In June, Johnson spent 10 days touring New York.

taught. The students encountered an imaginary trip through customs. One student was busted for trafficking "cocaine," a bag of sugar. Another student helped him with his bag and planted a bag of sugar on him. The purpose of planting the sugar in his bag was to teach students the importance of not allowing other people to handle their bags. Drug traffickers will often use an unwitting person to carry their drugs, said Dr. Marcia
Hakala, chairperson and associate professor of the foreign language department. The students communicate in Spanish day and night. They sign a contract that they will use no English at any time during the immersion, including going down there and back, said Hakala.

and approximately 20 students come to correct their English there on an ordinary day, according to Joel Mitchell, writing lab tutor. Mitchell, a graduate student and English major, has been working at the UCO Writing Lab as a tutor since Fall 1993. He enjoys this opportunity to teach English and to communi-
cate with students because he wants to be a composition professor after graduation. According to Mitchell, the biggest problem international students have in English is verb tense because their native languages have less verb tense variety. In order to become familiar with confusing expressions,
Mitchell suggests watching TV (news, movies, etc.) to learn how to speak, make natural and modern oral sentences and pronounce the words in English. Most students who work with him gradually improve their English. To join the Writing Lab, students must take a diagnostic test. Students can then use com-
