The Oklahoma Lottery: Windfall of change Oklahoma is now one step closer to having a lottery. Last week a group supporting, the lottery turned in a petition with more than 200,000 names. To be considered for the ballot, the petition needed to have only 111,229 valid signatures. This, however, does not necessarily mean the question will be put before voters any time soon. The petitions must make their way through the court systems and have the required number of signatures verified. This will be the easy part. Then come the protests. There are those in this state who feel that they must protect the masses from such an obvious evil influence. Pulpits across the state are sure to be brewing with the sermons of holier-than-thou preachers attempting to save the souls of those whose money could be better spent on prostitutes and legal counsel for preachers. The main argument against the lottery is that people who can not afford to invest will do so more than anyone else. According to lottery opponents, it is the poor who will spend more money on the minuscule chance that they will become rich. If these people wish to spend money that would otherwise be spent on food on lottery tickets, that is their prerogative. Perhaps it would placate lottery opponents if a mustard packet were given out with each ticket. Then, if that ticket proves to be a loser, the proud owner could eat it. The lottery, which has the full support of Gov. Walters, would result in an estimated $182.7 million in gross income for the state. Walters' proposal calls for 35 percent of that, nearly $64 million, to be used for "long-term investment in Oklahoma' s science base and for our educational infrastructure." The remaining 65 percent would be used for prizes and administrative costs. According to the current proposal, 35 percent of the state's share would be used for educational equipment and facilities. At least 70 percent of that would go to higher education. Fifteen percent would go to state agencies like the Department of Corrections, perhaps enabling us to construct a jail that would actually hold prisoners. Obviously, we can not have such an amount of money going for the economic and educational welfare of our state. The result of such a blatantly uncaring attitude could be a population that could be educated enough to read something longer than a beer can. Thirty-eight states already have lotteries, among them Texas, Kansas, Missouri and Louisiana. Why should Oklahoma money go for the welfare of neighboring states? With the state in economic disarray, one group is making a clear and concerted effort to put us back on solid economic ground. If this state continues to shoot itself in the collective foot each time a new idea is put forth, our only future consists of a mass exodus to states that are concerned with the welfare of the population.

"I've lived in two states that had them, and the money never seems to go where they say, or is as much as they say. If they can solve these problems, it will be fine."
"Sure. I don't see anything wrong with it, if the money goes for important things like education."
"I think it's a pretty good deal. It has worked in other states. I think it could work here."
Patricia Corrente Junior/Elementary Ed.
Timothy Morales Senior/English
Kim Jong Senior/Management
"Quite frankly, Pm for it. I'm studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses. They're against it, so I don't gamble, but I think it's OK"
"I think it's a good idea as long as the money is used for the right purposes."
"I agree on that. There is no money in Oklahoma now, because the economy is slow. I think it's good."

Group will meet on campus to discuss future of Oklahoma Central Oklahoma 2020, a citizen-basedregional group designed to help enhance the quality of life in central Oklahoma, will hold its first community meeting at 7 p.m. July 27 in the University Center at the University of Central Oklahoma. The purpose of the meeting, which is open to the public, is to create a vision of central Oklahoma in the future and create goals on how to reach that vision. "We're in phase one," said Zach Taylor, executive director of the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments. "Our goal now is to have a very broad based definition of what this region would like to be in the future." Central Oklahoma 2020 began in the fall of 1992. An initiating committee, along with the National Civic League, began searching for ways to develop a growth plan for the region.

"Why we need to do things differently is that there are fewer overall public dollars," said Taylor. "If improvements are to be made, it has to come from within. But we have to have an ability to have a large diversity of people representing the region that can begin to articulate what is said to us about needs, wants and dreams." The meeting will be an open forum in which everyone will have a chance to make comments. In addition, the following hypothetical questions will be asked of the audience: 1) For central Oklahoma to be the most wonderful place for you to live in the year 2020, what would it be like? 2) How will people be learning in 2020? 3) How will you be spending your spare time? 4) If you meet a person from New York and tell him or her you are from central Oklahoma, what image would you want the New

Yorker to have in mind? 5)What will you value most about your community? 6) How will people get along with one another? "One of the things I'd like to emphasize is that this is increasingly an interconnected regional community," said Taylor. "Edmond to Norman, Yukon to eastern Oklahoma county pretty much function as a single community. We have yet to put all the connections needed to make it work."

Jack In The Box lawsuit settled SAN DIEGO (AP) — A laws uit accusing a fas t-food restau rant of negligence in serving tacos smeared with hepatitis-tainted human blood was settled, an attorney said Friday. Steve Anania and his wife, Kate, sued San Diego-based Foodmaker Inc., the parent of the Jack In The Box restaurant chain, after they said they found congealed blood on tacos they purchased. Attorney GaroMardirossian, who represents the Ananias, said the case had been settled, but the terms were not disclosed. Foodmaker spokeswoman Sheree Zizzi also declined to comment Friday, except to say the case was settled. The lawsuit had sought unspecified damages for product liability, breach of contract, general negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress and medical expenses. Steve Mania said he bought the tacos Nov. 5, 1990, at a drivethrough window at a Jack In The Box restaurant in Bonsai!, and ate one on the way home, inside his darkened car. Kate Anania said she realized the tacos were smeared with blood after they arrived home and she took a bite. The couple said they returned to the restaurant that night and found a cook working with a hand wrapped in blood-soaked toweling. Later, blood tests showed he had Hepatitis A, Mardirossian said. Neither of the Ananias contracted the disease. Foodmaker has been the target of more than 40 lawsuits this year after hundreds of people in the Pacific Northwest were sickened by Jack In The Box hamburgers tainted by a bacterial infection. Two children died from the infection in Washington state.

UCO hires new staff member By Roy Howe Staff Writer The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges approved the hiring of a consultant at the university Friday to assist with development efforts, help foster partnerships with the private sector, develop relationships with the global community and to provide periodic classroom lectures regarding his expertise. Donald D. Paulsen was retained to assist Richard Burpee, vice president for development, with fundraising and community relations. "Paulsen has the contacts and the networks in the private sector and also in government," said Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president for academic affairs. Paulsen's appointment was effective Friday and runs until
June 30, 1994. He is to receive a retainer fee of $25,000. Seeing that UCO is both globally aware and involved is one responsibility of Paulsen said Jacob. "The global marketplace is a reality," Jacob said. "Every opportunity the university has to enhance its involvement with global initiatives should be done, for the good of the students and the staff." Paulsen served more than four years as Secretary of Commerce for the state of Oklahoma, working with both Gov. David Walters and former Gov. Henry Bellmon. Currently, Paulsen serves as President of the Oklahoma Business Roundtable, a nonprofit private sector organization which supports the State Department of Commerce in increasing business investments and creating jobs in the state.
