Broken record: enrollment up By Traci McKnight
Intruder shot by policemen BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Police today shot and killed a knife-wielding woman who broke into the campus mansion of the chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley. Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien and his wife, Di-Hwa Tien, were warned by police that an intruder was in their home and were unhurt, authorities said. The woman, identified as 19-year-old Rosebud Abigail Denovo, was shot by a police officer after she "made some threatening movements," said school spokesman Bob Sanders.
Staff Writer Tuesday morning the University of Central Oklahoma beat last year's record enrollment of 15,014. "We had our 15,015th student
enroll this morning," said Suzanne Martin, director of admissions and records. UCO enrollment has been making a steady increase every year since 1987. According to figures provided by the enrollment office, there
were 14,214 students enrolled in fall 1989, 14,501 in 1990 and a 15,014 student record last year. Students will still be enrolling until Sept. 4. Even though The University of Oklahoma has decided to cap
its enrollment, Martin said limiting students is not an option at UCO. Providing afternoon and night classes, more than other colleges, allows us to continue to serve a growing student population, she said.
Joy of sex for everyone now ST. LOUIS (AP) — Erica Levy Klein and Ken Kroll are trying to knock down more private barriers facing the 36 million physically disabled Americans with their book "Enabling Ron-lance," a sort of "Joy of Sex" for the disabled. Levy Klein, 35, said she saw the need for such a book after she began dating Kroll, a paraplegic, who is now her husband. In bookstores, she found poignan t accounts of how people learned to live with their disabilities or overcame stereotypes, but none sufficed as a "how-to" manual for sex. See World Wrap, back page

Regents approve plans Nigh wants theater, university center expansion By Tami Watson
Staff Writer The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges recently approved a building plan for the
University of Central Oklahoma amounting to nearly $22 million, said George Nigh, university president. The proposal includes $4 million for a performing arts
center on the university campus for the city of Edmond. "We desperately need a performing arts theater," said Nigh. "Mitchell Hall, the Pegasus Theater and the
ballroom are all very heavily booked." See Expansion, page 8

THE VISTA EDITORIAL
Provoking emotions • The Vista defines a new mission for the coming semester Tears stream down her face as she reads about the professor's death. . . A hearty laugh explodes from his gut as he sees the cartoon on the back page. . . An angry grimace slowly appears on her face as she realizes the bleak future after graduation. . . A sigh of relief washes over his face when he reads that tuition won't escalate again next year. . . An informed public. An emotional student body. In 1903 The Vista was established as a forum for public opinion and debate at The Territorial Normal School. And, today, The Vista continues to be that forum for students at The University of Central Oklahoma. As the student newspaper, The Vista's primary mission is to inform students, staff and faculty of news that affects them — and the UCO campus. But The Vista also has a mission to make people laugh or cry or get angry or get upset when they read the stories, see the photographs or look at the regular cartoons. If The Vista editors fail to provoke student emotion, then the "student voice" is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper filled with black ink. Through letters to the editor and columns and stories submitted by students, staff and faculty, The Vista strives to remain an outlet for people to vent their frustrations and express their attitudes about issues and possible solutions to problems they see. The First Ammendment assures us that we have a right to free speech and a free press. Students should not neglect this right nor the right to express their opinion via The Vista. During this fall semester, Gov. George Nigh will make his first changes to the university as the new UCO president. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and President George Bush will continue to fight for the title of Commander-in-Chief of the United States. The U.S. may soon go to war with Iraq once again. All the while diverse opinions concerning these issues are circulating on the UCO campus. With a new semester starting, The Vista editors want to encourage all students, staff and faculty to keep the student voice alive and talkative and open for debate on the UCO campus.

President addresses new students This promises to be an exciting school year. For the first time in many years, the University of Central Oklahoma is embarking on a building program that will have far reaching effects on the students of this institution. First, and perhaps the most significant, the Board Regents of Oklahoma Colleges has approved the spending of $2.2 million to make our campus totally accessible to the disabled and special needs students. We have already made great strides in improving the sidewalks and buildings to make maneuvering a wheel chair an easier task. Our new emphasis will extend our services not only to those students, but to the blind, the deaf, and those with other physical disabilities that hinder their education. Rather than approach the remodeling and installation of adaptive aids on a piece-meal basis, we are going to go full stream ahead and make our campus a model for the rest of the state and the nation. This includes hiring an adaptive needs coordinator to work with students and determine how the university can best meet their needs. We also are in the process of hiring an equity officer who will work with the disabled as well as seeing that the rights of all students, faculty and staff are addressed by the administration. The Board of Regents also approved the expansion of the
University Center. Plans call for the building to be doubled in size with many special features including meeting rooms, a theater type conference center, bigger ballrooms, and best of all, a new and expanded bookstore to meet your needs. At the Nigh Institute, plans have been approved to greatly expand its mission and scope. These include not only new educational programs, but also the request to the State Regents for Higher Education to approve a master's degree in public administration. A new direction for the Institute also includes a building of its own and an archives dedicated to government documents and the papers of former public servants and office holders. We cannot forget our first priority, and that is the classroom, fifty one new teachers have been added this year, and the university is one of those institutions that will benefit from the proposed capital improvements bond issue to be voted on in November. The University of Central Oklahoma desperately needs this bond issue in order to take the first steps toward building a new classroom building. Although we did not receive the funding we need or requested, nevertheless passage of the bond isssue will make great strides toward meeting our classroom needs and higher education
George Nigh needs in Oklahoma. It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the campus and wish you success as a student. It will be a beginning for both of us: for me as your new president and for you as another step on your path to continuing your education. As we take that step together, let us always have pride in our university, and what it stands for. For the past 101 years we have been known for our accessibility, our dedication to quality teaching and our public service. As we enter our second century, let us continue that legacy. The university can only be what we make it! —George Nigh UCO President

Campus police push programs preventing crime against coeds By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer
Crime and personal assault can happen to anyone at any time. Safety and security specialists say that no one is immune to these situations, but steps can be taken to lower the risks. They also say that students and faculty members, on college campuses, are at a higher risk than people in other environments. "Univerisities have the potential of being high-crime areas, but UCO has an excellent record, having very small numbers of crime," said Bob Roberts, university police chief. "But that doesn't mean a person shouldn't be careful. Take precautions and help to make yourself more safe." At UCO, the police department sponsors a crime prevention program in which officers speak regulaly to students and faculty.

Sentries hope to ease parking By Angela Mitchell
Staff Writer Beginning with the 1992 fall semester, the University of
Central Oklahoma Police Department will offer parking assistance in many of the mainstream parking lots. Due to the crowded conditions of the parking lots,
officers will be placed at the entrances and exits of most student and faculty parking lots to direct traffic and inform motorists if and when the lot becomes full, said Bob Roberts,
Following is a list of safety tips provided by Chief Roberts and designed to help UCO students and faculty:
Keep dorm rooms locked at all times. Walk in well-lighted areas. If out walking, bring someone else along. Be alert to your surroundings at all times. When out, wear clothes that are easy to move quickly in. When approaching your car, look in the back seat and underneath before unlocking the door. Walk heavily traveled paths. If a problem arises, yell and create a commotion. Carry an emergency signalling device or protector. Familiarize yourself with your campus and know where to go if a problem arises.
UCO police chief. The service will only be offered the first week of classes, but if enrollment is high officers will remain in the lots for an additional week. "It will depend on the demand of the services. If many students are still uneasy about the parking situation after the first week, we will definitely stay a while longer." said Roberts. "With it being our first semester to try this, we aren't sure what's going to happen." The officers will be in thelots from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. during the weekdays. "These times will hopefully catch the bulk of the students. We know how busy the parking lots are in the mornings, therefore we think these hours will help," said Roberts. A total of eight officers and eight physical plant employees will be stationed at the lots. The idea for the services came from the Administrative Vice-President, Joyce Mounce. "She thought it would be a good plan in helping solve the parking problems we have here on campus," Roberts said. "She really does care about the students and the problems they have here."
The officers give tips, show film strips, distribute brochures and perform seminars to residence hall students, new employees, and representatives in resident halls.
University installs alarming convenience on campus
They speak on subjects including alcohol awareness, rape awareness and crime and safety prevention, said Roberts.
While walking to her car, a women is attacked. Jogging across the university, a man hears a strange noise. Hurrying to catch a class, a person witnesses a crime. What do they do? Thanks to the new emergency call boxes, reporting a crime is fast and easy, said Bob Roberts, University of Central Oklahoma police chief. "The emergency call boxes are the first of their kind in the
"The statistics from 19891991 show UCO is a very safe campus. We don't have any problems with violent crimes," said Roberts. "The only problem we have is vandalism around the Liberal Arts Building. It usually doesn't happen elswhere on campus."

state of Oklahoma. We are very proud to be installing them for the fall semester." said Chief Roberts. "We looked into the boxes and were shocked that we were the only university to consider them. After several meeting, we realized how important they would be to our students and faculty." The call boxes will installed on the light poles of outer campus parking lots. The parking lots are: the east (graveled lot) and the southeast area of the Liberal Arts Building, Broncho Field House

lot, Health Science Building lot and the Cl east lot located in front of the University Center, he said. "Whenever a person activates the call box, it immediately rings the dispatcher at the police station and interrupts all frequencies on campus police radios." Roberts said. "This enables the officers to pinpoint
which call box is going off." Each call box cost $1,500. Five will be installed this semester and three more have been ordered for installation next year. Funding for the boxes comes from the campus police operating budget.

Rush preparation takes more than hair bows Sorority songbirds dedicated to the quest for the perfect presentation By Lisa Barclay Guest Writer
It is 6 o'clock of the second week in August. The parking lot is filling up after being empty for the last two months. The door stands open wide to greet the girls like a mother who greets her child who has been absent from home. The friendships come rushing back as old friends reunite. It is time once again to begin the rebuilding. "Let's go girls! It's time to start," the alumnae "Janet" bellows at the girls outside. Janet is the rush advisor. She is the alumnae in charge of making this rush better than any other house on campus. The girls race into the house to begin work for the week on the most important time of their sorority. Inside, work week begins. This is the week before rush
where the members concentrate on preparing for rush. Each of the four nights has a specific theme. The first of these is "Open House," with the theme such as a radio show featuring the house. Second is "Theme Night," possibly consisting of a play. Next is the most important "Pref Night." There is not an actual theme, but there are specific props that are used. The last night is "Bid House," consisting of a cookout. As work week begins, the girls think back to the semester before when they spent two Saturdays thinking of new ideas for rush. They used this time to begin work and gather supplies. As the week moves on, the props and decorations begin to take shape and color. Each night the rushees will be divided into three groups. Each group goes through the house at a different time, but the parties will be the same for each group. As the decorations for the walls, ceilings and doorways are being hung, it starts to look like
a celebration is about to take place. After hours are spent on the decorations, they begin with the music. All of the songs must be sung to perfection. As the rushees enter the house they will be met with songs of the sorority. The songs must be enthusiastic and sound like they are being sung by a professional choir. This means long hours of practice. "Sing that line over! You girls can do better, and you know it. I don't care what time it is, you girls can sing just as good at 6 o'clock as opposed to midnight. You are young. You have lots of energy," Janet yells as the clock strikes midnight. "Yelling seems to be Janet's main job around here," says one member. "She does a good job with rush, but the last thing any of us wants to do at midnight is sing a sorority song — or any other song for that matter. When she yells at us it just make it worse," says another member.
Walking by the house at 2:30 in the morning, a person might think the people inside were crazy. Voices pour out of the house as the songs are sung. The music is slowly coming around to the perfection the rush advisor wants. Each night is spent on the singing no matter how well the girls do the night before or how late they stay there. During the evening, time is also spent on memorizing the names, majors, hometowns, faces and whatever else comes in on the rushees rush forms. At least 75 girls will go through the house, and the names of each girl must be known by every member. The object is to make the girls feel like they have just stepped into a room full of friends — not strangers. They want the rushees to feel like this house cares more than any of the others. As the week progresses, the girls begin to lose energy from the lack of sleep, and they also

lose enthusiasm. The girls become grouchy and sometimes become a little mean to each other. "We get angry at each other, but with a lot of patience and tolerance, we make it through," the president says. It is the job of the rush chairman and rush advisor to prevent this from happening. As the week comes to a close, the final touches are put on the props and decorations. Everything is stored in a safe place until rush begins. The hope of a good rush is evident in the eyes of every girl. With the weekend off, the girls file out of the house and head home to relax and prepare for the next week, rush week. On the first night of rush, when the first group of rushees enters the house, everything is abuzz. There is excitement in the air and the girls seem to be ready for the days ahead of them. All the props are in place. It is time to find out if the work put into rush will pay off.

Enrollment lines staggering By Traci McKnight
Staff Writer Just like Joacquin Stevens, University of Central Oklahoma student government president, many students walked into the University Center this week thinking that somehow they had just stepped in line for Garth Brooks tickets. But in reality they had just stepped into one of the many lines associated with late enrollment. Whether they had forgotten to pay their tuition on time, were just enrolling for the first time or had some strange, unexplainable mix-up with financial aid (like Stevens), they still had to wait in a seemingly unending series of lines. In Steven's case the mix-up with his financial aid left him
with no classes even after preenrolling. So while hanging out in the Administration Building, getting everything fixed for his schedule, he took the opportunity to talk to other students to find out what they thought would help the situation, he said. Stevens said he came up with about three ideas to present before the senate which he hopes might relieve the long lines of late enrollment: • Stagger the lines at late enrollment like regular enrollment. • Provide more staffing in sectioning. • Promote more telephone enrollment. Suzanne Martin, director of
admissions and records, said sometimes mistakes, like the one in Stevens' case, happen. "I have to give credit to the students. This is the most I've seen in the five years I've been here. At four o'clock one of the workers came over and told me that no one was abusive to them all day long," she said. As far as the suggestions made by Stevens, Martin said she will cooperate and work with the students as much as possible. Martin said staggering enrollment on the first day after dropped classes would probably be a little unfair and could cause hard feelings among some students. Increasing telephone enrollment poses the same problem, she said.
ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia is one of nine Southern states raising college tuition this fall, but a survey found education in the region still costs less than the national average. The Southern Regional Education Board reports colleges and universities are charging from 3 to almost 25 percent more this fall than last year. Colleges need the extra money because states are trimming their budgets and allocating fewer tax dollars to colleges, said board spokesman Joe Marks. "But 20 percent of a small amount still isn't much," he said. "They still have lower tuitions than the national average." The national median tuition for a full-time, in-state student was $1,915 in 1990-91, the board said. In the South, the figure was $1,586. Tuitions will rise between 7 and 24.7 percent in Virginia, 20 percent in Texas and between 5 and 14 percent in South Carolina, the board said. Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland and Oklahoma are standing pat. The South also lags behind the country in faculty salaries. In the 1990-91 school year, the average faculty salary nationally was $49,020. In the South, it was $46,522.
Mississippi posted the region's lowest average, $39,171, and Maryland had the highest, $52,763. This fall faculty salaries will increase only slightly, the board said. "One reason our tuition increase is fairly low is that we've had record enrollments in Georgia in the last five years. With more students, the extra money certainly comes in handy," said Michael Baxter, spokesman for the Georgia Board of Regents, which sets tuitions for the state. "But when tuition increases are low, so are faculty salary increases. Eighty percent of the cost of education goes to salaries." The board said only eight states planned to raise faculty salaries this fall. Mississippi planned a 5 percent increase and Tennessee 4 percent, but the others ranged from less than 1 percent in West Virginia to 2 and 3 percent in Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia. "Faculty salaries lost a lot of ground to inflation in the '70s," Marks said. "There has been a major effort on the part of college and university administrations to close that gap."

International students adjust to customs By Michelle Li-Peng Soh Guest Writer
Early one winter morning, when the sun's rays had yet to warm the earth, Sam Lau arrived at the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City. As Lau waited his turn to disembark from the plane, a wave of emotions washed over him. He was relieved because he had reached his final destination after traveling some 30 hours from Malaysia. At the same time, he was anxious as this was his first time in the United States of America. While he waited for his luggage to appear on the conveyor belt, Lau took the opportunity to look around for a familiar, yet strange, face. The International Office at the University of Central Oklahoma had arranged for someone from the Malaysian Student Association (MSA) to meet him at the airport. An Asian approached Lau with a smile, introduced himself, and said that the MSA had sent him to meet Lau. Lau was so glad to see a friendly face in a foreign land. Lau slung his bulky hand luggage over his shoulder and grasped the handle of his suitcase. Cautiously, he walked
through the automatic revolving doors of the airport, towards icy winds, gray skies and the great unknown. He expected many things to be different from his home; he knew he would have to adapt to the language, climate, food, customs, practices and people in Oklahoma. Lau is typical of many Malaysians and Singaporeans who come to America to study. They come to UCO in pursuit of an acadmeic degree, but they also learn to make major adjustments.
A foreign land UCO has an enrollment of 1,010 international students with about 160 Malaysians and 45 Singaporeans, which is increasing as more and more Malaysians and Singaporeans desire a university degree. Although Malaysians and Singaporeans can speak English, language is the first adjustment. These students were educated under the British education system and were taught British English, not American English. Their usage, spelling and pronunciation of English differ from that of Americans. Jane Lim, a Singaporean who has been here for two semesters, pointed out some differences in
English usage. She said that it is the trunk of a car and not the boot, a line and not a queue and an elevator, not a lift.
A foreign tongue To communicate with Americans, many Malaysians and Singaporeans have to learn a whole new language — American English with its accents, slang and unique expressions. "I learned to pronounce words the way Americans do, so that they can understand me, and I won't feel so self-conscious when I talk to them," Lim explained. She said watching MTV helps her to listen and understand Americans better. The climate is another adjustment for Malaysians and Singaporeans, as Lim found out the hard way. During her first winter in Edmond, she slipped on an icy patch. From then on, Lim has learned to walk gingerly and to take her time when there is ice on the ground. In contrast to America's four seasons, Malaysia and Singapore are hot and humid all year round. Food is also an adjustment. Singaporeans and Malaysians find American food convenient and economical, but they still yearn for the foods of their
countries. Lau always looks for ' the currency and the right-ofopportunities to cook Chinese way. Every American dollar note food or eat at a Chinese is the same color and size, restaurant. "We have to condition our remarks Lim. But she adjusted taste buds to handle cafeteria quickly to the currency after she food," Lim said with a laugh. for gave a $5 note instead of the many people, this is probably expected $20 note. "Back home, we drive on the their first taste of Mexican food, added Lim.

Because of a lack of available space, many students are unable to get adequate training, Nigh said. The 1,200 seat auditorium would belong to the city, yet the university woul d be able to rent it for various activities. "This is a great opportunity for us to have something we desperately need at no cost to the university," said Nigh. "It's a win, win situation, a good deal for both the university and the city." The center will be up for voter approval in a city sales tax election on Sept. 15 which includes several issues concerning the city of Edmond. If approved, Edmond residents will face a $.O1 sales tax increase for a period of 57 months. The proposal also includes $18 million for building projects throughout the campus, such as expansion of the university center.

ACACIA FRATERNITY "Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders"
....to strengthen the ties of friendship, one with another....
What is Acacia? Acacia is a general national college social fraternity much like other Greek Fraternities. However, like it's name that sets it apart, Acacians set themselves apart by being leaders in the community and on campus. As a national organization Acacia is committed to preparing tomorrows leaders.
Why don't you use Greek letters like everyone else? When Acacia's founders started the fraternity back in the early 1900's they wanted to create a unique organization, based on sound principles and beliefs. Thus, they chose a name that embodied positive aspects of a fraternity (i.e. distinctiveness, leadership, brotherhood, and excellence). To this day Acacia stands as a name that signifies these ideals in the fraternity world.
Why should I join Acacia? The Alumni of the University of Central Oklahoma Colony of Acacia Fraternity, and Acacia's International Headquarters, have a renewed initiative to return the UCO Colony to it's place as the premier fraternity at the University of Central Oklahoma. To accomplish this goal, Acacia is currently looking for quality men who strive for excellence. Joining Acacia at this time gives you the opportunity to enter our fraternity in a position where you will have an immediate influence in the affairs of the chapter. You will also have the chance to take on a leadership role and help guide the UCO Colony in the direction that you would like to see it proceed. Do not miss this opportunity to join a quality fraternity that continues to strive for excellence.
• Brotherhood - Acacia offers its members the opportunity to form close friendships that lasts a lifetime.
• Academics • Social
Acacia emphasizes high scholarship and every effort is made to insure that every Acacian achieves his maximum academic potential.
- While the academic side of college life will take up a great deal of your time, it is also important that each person take advantage of the "after hours" time.
• Human Service • Athletics -
The motto of Acacia Fraternity is Human Service. This phase of fraternity life is something in which all Acacians take great pride.
Participation is the key to any athletic program and whether you take sports seriously or not, there is a place for you on one of Acacia's teams.

Tracy Dye enjoys the cotton candy. By Tami Watson Staff Writer The sounds of Dixie pouring from the horns of "Harvey and the Wallbangers," and the smell of roasting hot dogs filled the warm, humid air as Edmond residents flocked to Edmond's Hafer Park. Families, faculty and friends gathered at the park July 30, in a carnival-like atmosphere, to cordially welcome new University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh to the university, and to Edmond. Bright yellow and blue flags billowed in the warm breeze,
lining the roadway leading to the large pavilion where the guests gathered. A large purple and white banner which read "UCO Welcomes the Nighs," hung loosely from the pavilion roof. Lawnchairs and quilts littered the lawn as hungry participants eagerly took advantage of the free hot dogs and pop. Other guests simply sat and visited with friends. "It's a great turnout," said Suzanne Lillard, co-director of UCO's Baptist Student Union. "It's so good to come out here and see friends you haven't seen in awhile. It's a time for getting
reacquainted with the old, and getting acquainted with the new." Lillard's son Matthew had a differing view as he whined, "Can we just go home now?" Although Matthew wasn't having a great time, other small children ran frantically from one clown to the next, collecting balloons twisted into animals and objects of their choice. One little girl jumped up and down, showing off the flower shaped balloon clenched tightly in her fist. The "Tall Clown" seemed to be everyone's favorite, towering several feet above the crowd,

Texas A&1 tops pre-season LSC poll; UCO fifth 6 With 19 returning starters UCO looks to the future in hopes of restoring the glory of the past By Justin Harper Sports Editor The more things change the more they stay the same. In fact as far as the Lone Star Conference pre-season football outlook is concemed things stayed exactly the same. This years pre-season poll predictions are identical, top to bottom, to the 1991 poll. The repeat picks are surprising considering the '91 poll was way off the mark. Eastern New Mexico, which was picked fourth in the poll, won the LSC with a 5-1 conference record, while Texas A&I, the pre-season favorite, finished in fourth place with a 4-2 LSC mark. East Texas State and Angelo State tied for second place with 4-1 LSC records and Cameron, Central Oklahoma and Abilene Christian occupied the sellar, all tieing for fifth with 1-5 conference marks. Texas A&I is hoping this years poll is more on the money, however with every other team out to up their place in the poll it should be quite a challenge. Here is how the pre-season LSC outlook shapes-up. 1.Texas AM— Head coach Ron Harms enters his 14th season at the A&I helm with a glittering 100-46 career record. Offensively the Jays will be led by sophomore quarterback Wesley Whiten. The 5-11, 160 pounder returns after a good freshman season in which he gained over 6.6 yards per carry. Receiver Ed Lewis also will be a force. The 6-4, 200 pound senior

led the team in receiving last year with 22 catches for 290 yards and two touchdowns. As for defense A&I looks to linebacker John Stevens. The All-LSC selection averaged 9.5 tackles per game in '91. 2.Angelo State— The Rams retum quarterback Wilbur Odom, who could be one of the most exciting players in the LSC this season. Odom, a transfer from Michigan, led ASU to a 4-0-1 record in their final five games of '91. The senior QB led all ASU rushers with 318 yards and six touchdowns and threw for 1,300 yards while playing only half the season. The defense is very solid, returning eight starters from last years 10th rated defensive unit in the country. The Rams have finished in the top two in the LSC in each of the last five seasons, qualifying for the playoffs in three of the last six years. 3.East Texas State— Senior DB Eric Turner returns for his final season at ETSU which is good news for everyone concerned. It's good for the Lions because Turner
is one of the premier DBs in the country and it's even better news for ETSU's opponents because after this season he wont be around to disrupt their gameplans. Turner is a two-time All-American, LSC defensive back of the year in '91 and a candidate for this years Harlon Hill award which is given to the outstanding player in NCAA II. The offense however is not quite as stable, with only four starters returning. The Lions best returning offensive threat is placekicker Billy Watkins, who led NCAA II in field goals last year with 15. 4.Eastern New Mexico— After surprising everyone with last years LSC championship season the Greyhounds received little respect in this years poll. ENMU returns 17 starters from '91. AllLSC running back Landrum Hale is back for his senior season after piling up 1,108 yards rushing last year. However with no clear candidate for quarterbacking duties the Greyhound offense is still a question mark. The Defense also
was slightly depleated, but the defensive backfield returns intact and linebacker Steve Hill looks to have another stellar year after leading ENMU in tackles last year with 103. 5.Central Oklahoma— The Bronchos are looking to get back to the form that made them an annual power in NAIA. UCO has had trouble adjusting to NCAA II status but look to be headed for bigger and better things. Coach Gary Howard has 19 returning starters from last years 3-7 team plus two former starters who return from injuries. On the offensive side of the ball tailback Tyrone Jones looks to have a big year. The junior was the second leading rusher in the LSC last season with 901 yards. QB Mark Reiland returns but is involved in a battle with Cal-State Fullerton transfer Terry Payne for the starting nod. Nose guard Ira Richards leads the defense which returns ten starters and DB Mart Leming who comes back after missing all of the '91 season with a knee injury. The
kicking game is a bright spot for the Bronchos with the return of second-team All-LSC punter Paul Irland and Honorable Mention All-LSC place kicker Lee Stamper. 6.Cameron— The Aggies are looking to improve on last years 3-7 season and appear to have the talent and schedule to do it. At quarterback Alex Pugh returns after breaking the school record in passing throwing for 1,383 yards and 12 touchdowns a year ago. Multi-threat receiver Michael Ivory, the 1989 LSC freshman of the year, will be a high profile player for the Aggies. The 5-9, 180 pound senior scored seven touchdowns last season, five coming through the air. The defense is a major concern. With only four returning starters CU will have many holes to fill. 7.Abilene Christian— The Wildcats are perrenial sellardwellers who are looking to find a way, anyway, to get into the upper echelon of the LSC. ACU has posted two-straight 1-9 seasons, with last years lone win coming against UCO. Offense was a real problem last season as the Wild-
r.
cats managed only 7.3 points per game. ACU does return 16 starters which will make for a more experienced team. Tight end Hurley Miller is a potential star for ACU, having received second team AllLSC status in '91. Another bright spot for the Wildcats is receiver Ethan Sheffield, who was the leading pass catcher in the LSC last season with 44 grabs for 384 yards. V

UCO leads in improvements Renovations for disabled to be finished before spring; two staff positions created to oversee developments By Traci McKnight Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma is leading the regional colleges in their efforts to comply with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), said Scott Tarrant, president of the Horizons Unlimited club and advocate for accessibility for the handicapped. Tarrant has been working with the administration for the last year not only to improve handicapped accessibility in accordance with the ADA, but also to increase awareness of disabilities to students on campus. Tarrant said that to solve this problem he believes he can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. "I went in with the attitude of 'let's make people aware, let's educate and inform them, let's see what we can teach each other'," said Tarrant.
He said this approach has made a major difference in his effectiveness in getting things done. "The attitude of the administration has made a 180 degree turn. They're not reluctant now," said Tarrant. The ADA specifies that all construction for accessability was to begin by mid-July. However, UCO officials began their efforts about eight months ago, said Nick Widener, director of special projects. Tarrant said many of the smaller renovations such as wider doors in some buildings, have already been completed. The commitee formed to oversee the renovations has just finished a survey of the campus to determine what is still left to be done, and the most costeffective way to carry out the plan.

Music and television: What's in store? Local music scene flourishes, television same as always By Kathy Karr
Entertainment Editor TELEVISION Oh, what will the wacky world of television bring to us next? Well, let met tell you.
TOO MANY SHOWS WITH ADDRESSES IN THEIR TITLES, ALL PRODUCED BY AARON SPELLING. What began with "Beverly Hills 90210" is continuing with "Melrose Place" (a show with little plot, but with some nice-looking people), the upcoming "The Heights," and, targeted for those who desire programming just a little more sleazy, "2000 Malibu Road" (Blechhh.) If you prefer your T.V. really unrealistic, these programs are a must-see. If not, stick to "Sein-
feld" and "Northern Exposure"... PICK 0' TH E WEEK...Speaking of "Seinfeld," what a great show! Jerry Seinfeld has been a hit on the comedy circuit for the past several years, and with his crack writing staff, has managed to convert his stand-up act into a great sit-com. Nothing is lost in the translation, and the casting is above par. Check out "Seinfeld" Wednesdays on NBC... `TOONS..."Ren and Stimpy" are back, finally, with some new shows... NEWSFLASH..."Wheel of Fortune" is moving from channel 9 to channel 5. Oh, God, could our lives possibly improve any more?... VELVEETA...Just a brief reminder that for pure cheese, locally, nobody beats Butch and Ben McCain. They're so goofy, they're cool! How can you dis
somebody who was actually on "General Hospital?"... WHASSUP?...At this point, the only thing we have to look forward to is "Saturday Night Live" and finding out how the "Murphy Brown" writers handle the Dan Quayle fiasco.
MUSIC LOCAL...Head (yes, that's the name, Head) is a spiffy band from the area. Almost impossible to describe, all I can say about them is that they are the ultimate party band. Check 'em out, you won't regret it...
THOSE IN THE KNOW...Teresa LaBarberaWhites, Regional A&R Manager for Sony Music, said last week that she really dug the music scene in OKC. "I don't know what
everybody's whining about," she said...
DISAPPOINT MENT..Sources report that the recent Cool Aid jam at the Zoo Amphitheatre was less than expected...
DANGER ON THE CLUB SCENE...Stephanie Hugo, a UCO journalism student, was forced to drop out of the fall semester after a nasty incident at Rome` 90 in Norman. Hugo was present at the recent filming of the Chainsaw Kittens video when an overenthusiastic fan decided to mosh on Hugo's head. Hugo's neck was broken, but she is recovering nicely. The Kittens, much to their credit, made sure Hugo was bombarded with flowers and visits while she was in the hospital... NATIONAL...Tourwise, look for the Black Crowes, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Lollapalooza and
GN'R+Metallica+Faith No More to come around soon (Not here, exactly, more like Dallas). Ozzy, though, will actually be in the OKC area with Slaughter and Chili Peppers rip-offs Ugly Kid Joe. The Oz-man is calling his middle-aged rampage the "No More Tours Tour." This is truly the end of an era..."Under the Bridge," by the Chili Peppers, was fine for a while, but isn't it about time to take it off the playlist?..."November Rain" has also worn out any welcome it might have received... Does anybody else think that Bono has, albeit in a good way, completely lost his mind?...Damn, I wish Sophie B. Hawkins would fade away!...
OH STOP, YOU'RE KILLING ME!...Dave and Brian. Brian and Dave. Mornings on the KATT. What more needs to be said?
ENTERTAINMENT What'd he say? by Suzanne Gert
Guest Writer As long as there have been lyrics, there have lyrical blunders. You remember. Those were the boo-boos made with one ear pressed to the the stereo speaker and one hand on the pause button; trying to discover if Def Leppard was saying "Old Jim Beam, mountain rollin'" or some other mind boggling statement.
Column One possible reason for rampant lyrical blundering is the advent of drug induced creative writing during the '60s and '70s. Lyrics no longer had to be coherent or make too much sense. When you have the Beatles singing "I am the egg man, woo, they are the egg men, koo koo kachoo, koo koo kachoo," it's easy to go around singing "We all live in a yellov tambourine." The 90's have seen their share of lyrical faux pas with godsends Nirvana and Pearl Jam. However, the 70's and the golden age of classic rock gave us some of the best. L
"Jet Airliner", by the Steve Miller Band "Bingo jet got a light on", is correctly sung "Big ole jet airliner, don't carry me too far away." It was a shock for me, too. "Blinded By The Light", by Manfred Mann This has got to be the Big Kahuna of lyrical blunders. One more time: "Revved up like a duece," not "Wrapped up like a douche." The song is inspired more by auto mechanics than feminine hygiene. And last, but definitely not least: Nirvana. The words "smells like teen spirit" are mentioned nowhere in the song, please stop trying to sing them. The chorus goes, and I quote, "A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido." The best garbling of this teen anthem has got to be, "El dorado, big ole rhino. Smell my feeto, a burrito." The song ends with the refrain "My denial, my denial," no matter how much it sounds like "Bloody Nile, put an eye out, with a file." Koo-Koo Kachoo.

Crates of apples, oranges, new potatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, peaches and corn are stacked around Les Bell at his produce stand like children gathered around their mother. Bell, a vendor of 21 years, peddles not only his produce but the history of Edmond as he has observed it over the years from his corner. The 85-year-old vendor, who has lived in Edmond since 1910, is large in stature, with gray hair and fuzzy eyebrows and sideburns. He twists slightly as he maneuvers around the boxes of fruits and vegetables. His white, long-sleeved shirt with faded red pin stripes protects his arms from the sun while his straw hat shields his face from the glare. Seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Les sets up his livelihood at the corner of Hurd St. and Broadway in Edmond. Large scales hang from the side of his truck, jiggling slightly in the wind, as if anxiously awaiting their next job. A large oak tree shades Les' corner and what used to be the Methodist Church.
"In 1925, the top burned out of the old church and afterwards it was converted into apartments which are now abandoned. Recently, it has been reduced to some kids vandalizing it," he said. Les helped the current owner board up the windows to prevent further vandalism. Just as the old Methodist Church suffered some damage over the years, Les also has suffered. In 1971, Les had a stroke, which forced him to retire from the construction business and into the produce business. "I didn't want to just sit down and quit. Safeway used to be across the street (from Hurd St. and Broadway), and I saw the many vendors with their fresh produce, so I started selling small amounts. Now I'm the only one left," he said. "In those days, if a vendor made $10 a day, it was a great day, but now $200 a day is average," he said. Over 20 different kinds of produce are sold with Les' guarantee. During the hottest days of summer he loses some of his produce due to the heat, which cuts into his profits. He throws out all produce that he doesn't deem worthy of his guarantee. He insists that if his customers ever take home a

History: The 'fruit man' remembers Edmond's glory days and more piece of unfit produce, they should return it, and he will replace it. He says he understands how important it is to his customers to take home quality produce to their families, because it is important to him to take home quality produce to his family. "When I go home after work, I like to snap four or five pounds of green beans and add bacon, some red onion and new potatoes and let it simmer most of the night until it's just perfect," he said. His family expresses concern for him since his most recent accident, when he fell and broke three ribs. His family includes his wife Alice, five children, 15 grandchildren and his dog, Crystal. His standard of quality has fostered many friendships and long-time customers, which are what he enjoys most about his business. Bell also enjoys being able to tell his customers about the history of Edmond through his earlier experiences as a concrete contractor.
One such tidbit he recalls is the Interurban train that ran from Guthrie to Oklahoma City during the 1920s. "I rode on its first run and it jumped the track," he said. Now, there is no Interurban, just cars -- many cars that whiz past Les' corner. Most of the time he is busy, but during slow periods he passes the time by playing with his dog or visiting with his new assistant, Martin. After 21 years in the business Les now has to have help. Martin alleviates some of the strain from working long hours and lifting heavy crates. With Martin's help, he can also take more frequent breaks. Martin, like Les, is a disabled veteran, and this job still allows him to work. Even though he receives assistance, Les still tries to remain active. He is proud of the fact that time has not altered his business practices. Genuine hospitality still remains the key. He personally greets every customer and tries to give them the best deal possible.
A typical work day for Les Bell includes watching for prospective customers (far top left); putting the produce out for sale (far bottom left); weighing a customer's choice fruit (above); and, loading and unloading his crates full of food (at left).

Candidates will debate at schools EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP)—The presidential candidates will square off in three fall debates at college campuses, the first Sept. 22 at Michigan State University, a panel arranging the debates said recently. The other two televised confrontations-90 minutes each like the first—will be Oct. 4 at the University of San Diego and Oct. 15 in Virginia at the University of Richmond.
All aboard! International students try out the new metropolitan transit system. The new leg of the service travels a route around Edmond and connects with Oklahoma City buses. (Photo by Wes Hale).
A single vice-presidential debate is scheduled for Sept. 29 in Louisville, Ky. The Clinton-Gore campaign has agreed to the schedule, the Commission on Presidential Debates said. Clinton said he was looking forward to the debates. "I don't expect there'll be any stunning developments in them but I think the American people are entitled to hear us talk about the future of the country and the problems of America," he said. "So I accepted the debates and I hope that he will and we'll just see what happens."

Mandated education tests begin OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Freshmen entering Oklahoma's colleges and universities this fall have three new assessment tests in front of them before they graduate. The schools, as well as the students, will be judged on the outcome. The mandated student testing and assessment "will give faculty members information on ways to improve instruction, and give students specific information about how they are performing," said Cindy Ross, state regents' vice chancellor. State Regents for Higher Education mandated the fourpart assessment system, which starts this year. Students will be tested as freshmen, again sometime between 45- and 70 credit hours in their college studies, and then as outgoing seniors.
Disaster officials escape Andrew OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The nation's top disaster officials gathered in Oklahoma City for a weeklong conference on disaster relief, but Hurricane Andrew turned the talk into action. "We virtually had all the key people from all the federal agencies right here," director Thomas Reutershan said Monday. The system is a network of the federal departments of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs and Defense; the Federal Emergency Management Agency; and the private sector. "We've been quietly building this system for eight years, but we haven' t had to use it much, fortunately," Reutershan said. A 35-member teams of nurses, doctors, medical technicians and others will help overworked, local medical workers, he said. Reutershan said the choice of Oklahoma City for the convention was a lucky one. Last year's conference was in Tampa, Fla.
Bush's baindaid won't cover cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush's proposed $10 billion job training program is a "Band-Aid" that lacks sufficient funds and doesn't guarantee new jobs to replace lost ones, say critics. Bush proposed tripling the amount of federal money available each year to retrain unemployed workers, those with jobs being terminated and those threatened by company cutbacks or reorganization. The plan, called New Century Workforce, would combine new and previously proposed programs with several existing ones. It requires congressional approval. "Between 20 and 30 million Americans will be unemployed some time this year and he proposes a program for 1 million," said a statement by the labor federation. "For them, he offers no direct training and no new income support, just a $3,000 voucher.
Hillary says picture distorted ERIE, Pa. (AP) — Hillary Clinton, in an interview broadcast Monday, said Republican attacks on her were preposterous. The wife of Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton said on NBC's "Today" program that Republican politicians were "looking for ways of blaming people again and preying on people's fears." "It's a real unfortunate and sad distortion of what I' ye stood for and tried to do for families," Mrs. Clinton said in an interview taped on Sunday.

Getting Around By Tami Watson Staff Writer
I.D. cards hold uncommon uses
Although college students proudly display their student I.D. cards on key chains and in wallets, flashing them at anyone who will take notice, many University of Central Oklahoma students do not realize the many uses of the card, said Diane Frank of the UCO enrollment center. In some cases, the card is necessary. In order to check out books from the UCO Max Chambers Library, students must have a validated I.D. card, said Frank. Frank also offered that the card is necessary to pick up grades and transcripts, to utilize bookstore services and to participate in senate voting. Students who work on campus need an I.D. card to pick up pay checks, and students who live on campus need the card to eat in the cafeteria. Besides its necessary uses, the card also has a few advantages that may be more appealing to the average college student -cheap dates. For example, many students
do not realize that many restaurants in the Edmond area, such as Goldie's and Wyatt's Cafeteria, offer discounts to students with UCO I.D. cards. The Kickingbird and AMC theaters also offer discounts to UCO students who present their I.D. cards at the ticket window. After a discounted meal and movie, a UCO couple may want to prolong the date by attending one of the many UCO campus events. The I.D. card can be used for free admission to campus sporting events, such as football, basketball and volleyball games. The card also gets UCO students into musicals, plays, instrumental concerts and theater productions free of charge. The UCO I.D. card is not just a piece of plastic to throw carelessly into a handbag or wallet and fish out at the end of the semester when it's time to pick up grades. It is a valuable instrument that can be used to utilize many services on and off the UCO campus.
Library helpful, not scary By Tami Watson Staff Writer Its big and it's scary. It is enough to make a freshman call home crying. Whether a first year or fifth year student, that first trip to the library can be quite overwhelming. The library, however, does not have to be a frightening experience. "We have people on all four floors willing to offer assistance to students who need help," said Vicki Wainscott, head of library access services at the University of Central Oklahoma's Max
Chambers Library. For those students who are too stubborn to ask for help when they need it, there are library information handouts located on the first floor in front of the reference desk which explain what is located on each floor. For example, in the lobby are chairs and tables which can be used for gathering with fellow students or studying. The lobby also has vending machines, public telephones and computer terminals for students in certain classes. After leaving all food and
drinks in the lobby, students can then enter the first floor. The first floor houses the new CD-ROM indexes, which allow students to complete research at a much faster rate than before, and BRONCHO, an on-line catalog that helps students find where materials they need are located. A reference collection is also located on the first floor and there is usually someone located at the reference desk to help students if they get in a jam. The circulation/reserve desk on the first floor is where students go to check out books.
University of Central Oklahoma Library Hours Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Schedule subject to change during holidays and semester breaks.
The second floor contains books with call letters: B,H,K,L, a childrens collection, a curriculum collection and law reference. Government documents, periodical indexes, a microfilm reading/copying room and periodicals and newspapers are located on the third floor.
The fourth floor is where most books are located, including all books with call letters: A to Z (except B,H,K,L). A map collection and special microfiche collections are also located on the fourth floor. BRONCHO (the on-line catalog), copy machines, elevators and stairs are located on every floor.

Baptist union invites all to 'Howdy Week' activities
Catholic group plans events
By Traci McKnight Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma Baptist Student Union is gearing up for the fall semester by planning events to help students meet new people and have a fun in the process, said Suzanne Lillard, BSU associate director. Every day during the fall semester the Baptist Student Union will host a noonday workshop at 1 p.m. "This is an encouragement time for students to share with each other their experiences with God in their life," said Lillard. Along with the daily sessions that will continue throughout the fall, the BSU has planned a Howdy week of events and activities for the first week of school. On August 25, the BSU had a "Howdy Day" to welcome students to the campus. "This is to let the students get acquainted with each other and to let them know there's someone new on campus besides them," said Lillard.
Thursday there will be a "Howdy Party." "Any denomination can come. We've even had some atheists come. All we ask is that people respect our beliefs," she said. Aug. 28, there will be a "Welcome to America" party for the International Students at the First Baptist Church. The party will be free. Also on Friday, there will be an "Involved on Outward Beauty" seminar for women only. This is in coordination with local cosmotologists, and is to improve the women's outward appearance, as well as work on what's good about them inside, said Lillard. Saturday, the BSU will have a night of drama, music and comedy. Their own music and drama group "Promise" and their comedy group "F.L.U.S.H." will perform. The BSU is supported by the Southern Baptist churches of Oklahoma and offers students many conveniences. Membership to the BSU is free. Students just need to walk in the door, said Lillard.

Sept. 7 in UCO's Y-chapel, and Small Faith will be held beginning at 9 p.m., Sept. 9 in the Y-chapel. The organization plans to start new programs this fall including a Bible study at 8 p.m., Sept. 13, and the Rosary at 9 p.m., Sept. 21, both in Y-chapel. "Last semester we really concentrated on the spiritual aspects and kind of let the social functions go," Sligar said.
Lutheran church assigned minister By Allen Norbury Managing Editor
After six months of interim pastorship by Rev. Harold Kamman, the St. Mark Lutheran Church of Edmond was assigned a new pastor Aug. 5. The Rev. Peter Heckman, a spring graduate of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, replaces Rev. Glenn Whooton to be the third resident pastor of the 13year-old church. The church is located at 321 E. Campbell.
"This year we plan to include many more social activities." "It doesn't cost to be a member, and it's a lot of fun. Campus Catholic Ministries is a place where students can meet with a group of people who understand school," Sligar said.

Stained glass adorns place of meditation By Traci McKnight Staff Writer
Walking toward the Administration building, through . the southwest end of the campus, it looks as if there's an "L" shaped chapel in the middle of the University of Central Oklahoma campus. Taking a closer look, there are large stained glass windows, almost too large for the tiny church, covering the outside of the building. It's the Y-chapel of Song. The 56 x 56 foot chapel was built in the late 1940s by faculty and friends of the university, as a place for meditation and prayer.
The art work, and some of the construction on the chapel itself, was done by Central State College students, said Sue Ryan, secretary to the Associate Dean of Students. The 14 stained glass windows incorporated into the chapel were designed and built by Central State art students who attended the college when the chapel was built. The design of the five windows on the right (south) side of the chapel are of male figures, and the figures on the left of the chapel are female. The students designed the chapel this way because when weddings are
performed in the chapel the groom enters from the right side of the chapel to await his bride. "We have about one or two weddings a month here," she said. "The money from the weddings is what we mainly use to keep the place up." Ryan said the chapel holds about 125 people and costs $50 to rent for a wedding. The chapel can also be reserved for organizations to use for functions. For more information about the chapel, or to make a reservation contact Ryan at ext. 2364.
Stained glass windows remain a trademark of UCO's Ychapel in the center of campus. The 50-year-old church has been a place for meditation, prayer and weddings for UCO students. (Photos by David Lee Smith)

Sports
Back to school a drag? Sports come to the rescue By Justin Harper Sports Editor Just about the only thing that's good about the summer ending is that it means football is beginning. During the hectic and crazy days that always seem to accompany the fall season and the start of school, football is a saving grace. It's the one constant that keeps sports fans from going over the edge. I have no idea how non-thinkers, oops, I mean non-sports fans make it through September, and I know if you're reading this you can relate because you're a sports fan. If you can't relate you're not a true sports fan and why are you reading a sports page? Anyway, back to the football, for those of you who do rely on the gridiron to get you through, you're in luck because there is plenty to be played and watched in the coming months. Add cross-country track and volleyball to the mix and UCO fans have a veritable plethora of athletic events to attend to see and be seen. The UCO gridders begin their season on the road traveling to Maryville, Mo. to play Northwest Missouri. The Bronchos have a long wait before they make their home debut in '92. Cal State-Northridge comes to Edmond on Sept. 26 for UCO's first game at Wantland Stadium. The volleyball team takes to the court on Sept. 1 for their opening match of the season. They too are going to be away from home as they play Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. The Lady Bronchos open their home season a week later, Sept. 8, inside Broncho Field House versus Southern Nazarene. The UCO men's and women's cross country teams, in staying with the trend, also start their season many miles from home. The harriers will travel to Wichita, Kan. to compete in The Shocker Invitational on Sept. 11. UCO's only true "home" meet will be on Sept. 26. The Bronchos and Lady Bronchos will host The UCO/Lake Arcadia Challenge, to be held at Lake Arcadia at 8:30 a.m. All UCO students with a validated school I.D. can attend any UCO sports function for free. The home football games are held at Wantland Stadium which is located at the far north end of the campus behind Broncho Field House. The Home volleyball games are held inside Broncho Field House on the basketball court. The cross-country team does not have an official course. The teams will compete in Edmond at Lake Arcadia Challenge, and even though that is their only home meet, most of their away meets are close with dates at Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma State in Stillwater and Oklahoma Baptist in Shawnee. So if the thought of being back in school is enough to drive you insane, take in some of these sports events and watch plenty of football. You'll come out all right. V

Cure moving madness By Tami Watson Staff Writer Once again it's time to pack the bags and head back to school for another semester. Whether a student lives in the dorms or in an apartment, he still has to face the tedious task of moving. With some preparation and a little thought, the difficult task can be made quite simple. First, plan ahead, said Jim Jones of Jones U-Haul in Edmond. "With all of the college students moving back and forth, the beginning of August through Labor Day is our busiest time and truck demand is very high," he said.
Sam Brown, vice president of Hertz Penske, said the increased demand for trucks has forced his company to expand its truck fleet by 32 percent. "Moving is a seasonal trend. We always add more trucks for the peak time between April and September," said Brown. Once a reservation has been made early to beat the college crowd, it is important to evaluate the items to be moved in order to determine if a trailer or truck will be needed and what size will be needed. "Trailers are more economical, yet they do not have as much room," said Jones. "Trailers are more economical, yet they do not
have as much room," said Jones. Jones also added that the size of the car determines the size of trailer you can pull. Jones said that if a trailer is chosen, you must have a trailer hitch on your car. "If a car doesn't have a hitch, sometimes a temporary hitch can be attached. It just depends on the model and make of the car," he said. If the number of items to be moved is quite large, a truck may be needed, said Jones. "In order to rent a truck, a student must be at least 18 years old and have insurance," Jones said. U-Haul offers additional insurance to cover the truck.
Both trailers and trucks can be rented one way, which means you do not have to return the truck to the town from which you rented it. You can simply leave the vehicle at the U-Haul rental facility closest to your new town. After the vehicle of choice has been rented, make sure you have necessary packing supplies. The most obvious items needed are boxes. Boxes can be found almost anywhere, but Hertz Penske offers strong, sanitized packing cartons which are sturdy. These cartons are available in a variety of sizes and make packing a lot easier. Packing tape and packing material are also necessities. It
is important to use heavy-duty packing tape (not masking) for cartons, as well as for taping things together. This will allow for easier loading and storing on the truck. Most rental places supply packing material. "U-Haul provides furniture pads for protection," said Jones. "Towels can also be used to protect other breakables." Once everything is packed and loaded into the moving vehicle, you're ready to go. Once on the road, remember to drive safe and friendly. Be cautious and use a little common sense, and you and your possessions should arrive at school safely, ready to begin a new semester.
Dorm life not prison experience 'Neat memories' and 'long-lasting friendships' abound By Traci McKnight Staff Writer The resident halls at the University of Central Oklahoma are trying to make people realize they are not anything like the stereotypical, dreary, prison-cell-like dorms people think of when they picture oncampus housing, said Carroll Van Duyn, director of resident housing. The university offers students spacious rooms which include two desks, two dressers and two beds and closets. Resident halls are equipped with a phone line. Students have the option of renting a phone from the university for $15 (refundable at the time of check out), or bringing a touch tone phone of their own. UCO has four resident halls for single students: East Hall, Murdaugh Hall, Thatcher Hall and West Hall. East Hall is adjacent to Central Cafeteria, connected to it by a covered walkway. This hall is for men only and can hold about 445 students. The building is equipped with six bathrooms, a recreation and
lounge area, study rooms, a weight room, vending machines video games, personal computers and a microwave. Thatcher Hall, named for Richard Thatcher, the first president of the university, is located on the east side of Centennial Square and can accomodate 156 men. Thatcher Hall has a large living room with a fireplace, a TV, a microwave, a personal computer room, a study room and laundry facilities. The women of UCO have two halls: Murdaugh Hall and West Hall. Murdaugh Hall, named for the fourth president of the university, E.D. Murdaugh, is located southeast of the library. Murdaugh can hold 280 women. It offers a large living room with cable TV and a laundry facility. A sun porch is also available for entertaining visitors. West Hall can house 432 women and is located next door to the library. The hall provides six bathrooms, four laundry facilities, a recreation room with cable TV and a card table, a

large lounge area and an enclosed patio area for parties. Students wanting to live in the Resident Halls must apply before signing a contract and pay a $10 non-refundable application fee. When students sign a contract for their housing, they're also signing a contract for meals. Every payment plan is offered with a meal ticket option. Students living in the resident halls don't pay "rent" as they would in an off-campus apartment. What residents are actually doing is entering into a contract to pay a set amount for the allotted amount of time they will live in the dorms. Therefore, some students will still be making payments even

"College is a time for most kids to make long lasting friendships and neat memories, and to some, living on campus can help them do that," said Van Duyn.

Monthly payments for housing can cost anywhere from $238.75 to $139 a month, depending on how many meals a student requests and how many semesters the student signs up for. The cost is lower in the long run if the student signs up for two semesters at once. Graduate student housing provides residents with a one

Interesting food not far away Edmond eateries reviewed in new Vista feature By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer
Staff Writer Angela Mitchell recently surveyed some of the finer eateries in the Edmond area. The following is a list of reviews from her search. Look forward to the new "Edmond Eats" section in upcoming issues of The Vista.
The same old ball and chain? The same old ball and chain is defintely not the atmosphere or the taste experience you will find at City Bites, located at 3414 S. Boulevard in Edmond. City Bites offers a hip variety of cold and hot subs, soup, side salads and a fabulous bakery. The subs can be ordered in two sizes, half and whole, and the prices are $2.85 and $4.50 for cold subs and $3.35 and $5.25 for hot subs. For the Italy in everyone, the Italian sub is mouth watering, but the cold sub that tops them all is the California Club. It's made with turkey, bacon, provolone cheese, avocado, alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, Miracle Whip and seasonings. It makes me hungry just thinking about it. Another plus to City Bites is the pasta salad. It is well worth the $.85. In fact, if you're really hungry go ahead and order two, but don't forget to save room for the I-want-one-of-everythingbakery. The cookies, breads and the
cake slices are awesome, but none can compare to the cheesecakes ($1.95). These come in praline, chocolate chip, chocolate mousse and strawberry. Wow! In the cookie department, the Lemon Squares ($.90) and City Snickers ($1.25) are the best. The Lemon Squares have a graham crust, lemon flavor and powered sugar on top. For a richer and more filling flavor, the City Snicker is a brownie with Snickers candy bars crunched up inside. It definitely satisfies!
Don't forget to save room for the I-wantone-of-everything bakery. The entire eating experience at City Bites will keep you coming back again and again. The staff is friendly, the service is wonderful and the food is out of this world!
Finger-licking good Imagine a platter of barbeque ribs, beef, hot links and bologna and top it off with a side order of the sweetest baked beans this side of the Mississippi. Sounds too good to be true huh? Well at Leo and Son's Barbeque, located at 1824 E. 2nd in Edmond, this menu is a reality. The meals can be ordered in dinners, orders, sandwiches and pounds.
The dinners come with one of the meats, macaroni salad, baked beans and bread. The dinners range from $5.25 for bologna to $6.75 for ribs. But, the Leo's Special includes ribs, beef, hot links, bologna,
...
top it off with a side order of the sweetest baked beans this side of the Mississippi. baked beans and potato salad for $8.00. This dinner is wonderful and filling for two people. Orders come with a portion of meat and two slices of bread. The prices range from $4.75 to $5.65. Sandwiches are basically the same as orders except they have smaller meat portions and the prices range from $3.25 to $3.75. Buying by the pound is perfect for a party or to split between several people who may want different side orders or no side orders at all. Pounds of meat range from $7.25 to $8.25 and come with slices of bread. To top off this finger-licking good dinner, Leo and Son's offers a homemade banana strawberry cake. This is the best part of the meal. The cake is divine and is certainly finger-licking good. Each slice is $1.30 and a whole cake is $14.95. Well worth the money! Leo and Son's is open Mon day through Thursday 11
a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. Give it a try, I think you'll enjoy it.
History found at bar and grill Stroll with me down memory lane in this fascinating and history filled restaurant, Pump's Bar & Grill, located at 617 S. Broadway. The walls are full of memorabilia from the '40s, '50s and '60s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from old Firestone, Valvoline and GoodYear Tire signs to glass carvings of old model cars on the booth dividers. The food is just as intriguing as the environment. For starters, the cheese stix ($4.25) are the best around town. They are deep fried and served with mustard sauce. For the New Yorker in us all, the M.I.P.S. (Manhattan Island Potato Skins) are considered living life in the fast lane. They are potato skins with bacon, cheddar & Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream and chives and go for $4.25.
The food is just as intriguing as the environment The Chicken Delight ($4.75) is a broiled boneless chicken breast served with cream cheese and ham served on wheat bread. Chips and picante sauce also come with this.
The Nacho Salad ($5.49) is everything it sounds like; cheese nachos with chili, beans, lettuce, tomato and guacamole. Yum! If a burger is what you're craving, the Roadster is for you. The Roadster ($3.79) is a burger with mushrooms, sour cream, American cheese and sliced tomatoes. Add an order of french fries ($1.50) and the meal is complete. For the entree eater, the chicken fried steak dinner ($4.95) is no laughing matter. It's a chicken fried steak with french fries, counrty gravy and Texas toast. If all of this sounds good and you're having a hard time choosing an entree, wait until you get a load of the desserts. The Fried Ice Cream ($1.99) is great! It is topped with caramel sauce, whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Another favorite is the 1/4 Acre Brownie ($2.49). It consists of two scoops of vanilla ice cream with a choice of chocolate or caramel sauce or strawberries and whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Pump's is open Monday through Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10:30 a.m. to midnight and Sunday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Edmond has some fine restaurant choices avaliable. So go out , eat and be merry!
Mystery meat's not on the menu By Traci McKnight Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma food service is dispelling the myth that institutional food is all mystery meat and soybean by-products by giving students a variety of inexpensive, convenient food services here on campus. UCO has four eateries on campus, the Redbud Cafeteria, 89er Cafeteria, Central Cafeteria and the Oklahoma Room, each offering a different kind of food and atmosphere for students. The Redbud Restaurant, located on the first floor of the University Center, gives faculty
and students a place to dine affordably in a nice atmosphere. "I think sometimes students think it's only open to teachers, or they always see their teachers in here. Since they see them enough in class everyday they don't want to eat with them," said Debbie Jackson, assistant food service director. The Redbud Room is a full service restaurant offering cafeteria-style eating and daily lunch specials. It is open for breakfast and has a lunch buffet for $6.99, 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Sunday. Jackson said most people don't realize the Redbud Restaurant is open to the
general public for banquets. She said that George Nigh, before he became president, always used the Redbud Room for Nigh Institute banquets. The 89er Cafeteria, located on the first floor of the University Center, across from the bookstore, gives students a more relaxed atmosphere and food variety in cafeteria-line style. The 89er Cafeteria is open for lunch Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. A continental breakfast is served at 9:30 a.m. each of those days. Boarding students on campus eat their dinners in the 89er
Cafeteria every Fri day through Sunday since Central Cafeteria is closed those days. Daily lunch specials are available for $4.50 and dinner specials for $4.75. Central Cafeteria is a food service outlet offered for students here on campus, but is usually utilized by the boarding students. However, the cafeteria is open to the public for an allyou-can-eat buffet Monday through Thursday at $4.50 a person. The Oklahoma Room, located on the bottom floor of the University Center, is more of a snack bar for students. Jackson said the main goal of
the Oklahoma Room is to offer students a fast food style of eating on campus. The Oklahoma Room gives students choices of donuts and danishes, baked fresh daily, in the morning hours and pizza, hamburgers and sandwiches in the afternoon hours. Jackson said along with giving students a variety of traditional foods to choose from, the food service directors are also aware of the growing number of vegetarians, and provide them with a variety of choices as well.

Listenership reaching crescendo By Tami Watson Staff Writer After 26 years of broadcasting from the University of Central Oklahoma campus, classical radio station KCSC-FM 90.1 is still improving. The station is nationally ranked 17th among public radio station listeners, as well as 5th in the Oklahoma City market among listeners in the 12-plus age group. "We are very pleased with our national rankings, and our local rankings are pretty good," said Brad Ferguson, KCSC-FM general manager. "Usually only 2.5 percent of listeners listen to classical music and we have 3 percent. More people listen to classical music in this area," he said. KCSC is still trying to improve the station, said Ferguson. "We are bringing in a new program director soon, and we recently installed a new software program," he said. Ferguson said he would eventually like to see the station acquire more space. "We're a little crowded down here, he said. KCSC is primarily funded through its listeners, Ferguson said. "Although we receive some funding through the school, we receive most of our money through membership drives which we hold twice a year," he said. Ferguson said he has high hopes for the station, and hopefully the station will continue to receive national recognition. "We're going to keep on doing what we are doing, and I would like to see the station uplink some local programs nationally," he said. "I would really like to see KCSC become a premiere fine arts station."

Majors and Minors SGA eager to lend students hand `We might not be able to change the system, but we can help understand better how it works' By Traci McKnight Staff Writer
Joacquin Stevens, president of the Student Government Association at the University of Central Oklahoma, said he and the other elected officers are determined to make this year the best ever by becoming more in tune with the student body. Stevens said the association plans to inform students about what the student government can do for them. One thing the SGA tries to do is help students through the university system, said Stevens. "We had a student come to us last year because he was trying to graduate and there was some misunderstanding about his transcript. We went in and talked to the counselor and just kind of helped him to understand the system better. We might not be able to change the system, but we can help them understand better how it works," said Stevens. Another power of the SGA is the legislative power given to it by the university president. This gives the government some say in the decision making
process of the university. Stevens said the SGA has used this power to change the process of enrolling to shorten the lines and to not require the president of the university to have a doctorate, said Stevens. The SGA also coordinates student activities such as
Centennial Square so students can familiarize themselves with the community and get to know people on campus. "It helps the organizations get members and is a great community activity," said Stevens. "We had approximately 1,000 people

turn out last year." Along with the back-toschool events, the SGA plans to continue working throughout the year on various projects, said Stevens. He said they will work on encouraging students to vote on campus as well as in the national election. Stevens said he thinks students would vote more in student government elections if more polling places were available. On the national scale, the SGA will be getting involved with the "Vote America" campaign, he said. "The contact with other universities makes me rejuvenated, gives me new ideas, makes me more receptive to different avenues and keeps me motivated," said Stevens. Stevens said the SGA will have five main goals for the coming school year: develop a clear relationship with fellow organizations; improve visibility; improve internal and external communication; enhance community service programs and network with the community.

City Life
Nightlife isn't far away Head-bangin', be-boppin' or two-steppin', area night spots offer variety of styles By Traci McKnight Staff Writer School's in session. It's time to hang up those partyin' shoes, get serious, and hit the books! Or is it? Just because school is starting, who says students have to give up their social lives? Well, certainly not Oklahoma City's night spots. OKC offers University of Central Oklahoma students a not-so-far-away haven for fun, music and maybe even a
Review little dancing. If you're in the mood for a good live band, you can find all the best live music right on north Western Avenue. The T-Bar, located at 5701 N. Western, is a "rock'n'roll, classic, fun-time sports bar," said Shannon Ryan, manager. The T-Bar host many of OKC's hottest bands, in a sporty kind of atmosphere that can be relaxing and fun for people of all ages.
"We have a live music format, and cater to ages 21-50," said Ryan. The T-Bar is adjacent to the Split-T restaurant, which has been in business since 1953. The Split-T offers classic sports bar munchics like burgers, fries and nachos. The T-Bar has been giving OKC some of its best new bands for 12 years and will continuing the tradition this year as well. Tonight, the T-Bar will host A2Z, with specials from 7 to 10 p.m. and a S6 cover. On Friday and Saturday, KGB will play. There will be a S6 cover. VZD's, located at 4200 N. Western, is OKC's "live music showcase." When one walks into VZD's, they can be reminded of the bygone days of James dean and Elvis. Of fast bikes and loose women. The bar's look is that of an old 50s drug store, and the club even has a juke box for patrons to enjoy between bands. "We have a very eclectic crowd. All different kinds of peo-

plc. It's a very relaxed, easy-going atmosphere wll all ages and all kinds of people," said Amanda Bleakley, owner. VZD's not only offers a wide variety of local talent, but also
cc The T-Bar, located at 5701 N. Western, is a "rock'n'roll, classic rock, fun-time sports bar. —
T-Bar manager
hosts many out-of-state, widely recognized bands. However, the cover is not always the lowest at VZD's. When the bar hosts a well-known band,
The Baja is a great jeans and Tshirt kind of bar, for relaxing with friends and enjoying a good band.
The Street People, a popular reggae band, will play tonight. Tomorrow, Aug. 28, Reverend Horton Heat will take the stage, and Saturday the gig belongs to Little Sister. Along with live music, VZD's also offers lunch and dinner. Even though summer's almost over, there's still a place in OKC where you can get "a remnant of summer," said Kurt Ameringer, manager of The Baja. The Baja, located at 1 E. California in Bricktown, features live bands on Fridays and Saturdays with alternating drink specials. Ameringer said The Baja will be renovating the interior of the bar, but will be keeping its name this year. In previous years, the name was changed to the Butte Ski Lodge every winter.
If a good two-step is what you're lookin' for, the place to be would be In Cahoots, located at 2301 S. Meridian. In Cahoots, a country and western bar, is also one of OKC's best spots to see a good, believe it or not, rock band. In Cahoots has hosted some of rock's best classic rockers, like Kansas and BTO. But In Cahoots also offers the best of country music. It has a twolevel layout with plenty of room for wanderin', and a large ovalshaped dance floor with a bar in the center. So, just because summer's over doesn't mean you can't party. OKC offers UCO students plenty of night life, just a hop, skip and stumble down the road.

MUSIC AROUND TOWN; LOCAL SCENE GROWS

By Kathy Jo Karr Entertainment Editor
OCT 8-11 Oktoberfest George Strait Concert 31
LOCAL BANDWATCH The scene in OKC just keeps on growing, with bands breaking up, changing names and changing members faster than George Bush can say "Read My Lips." Speaking of lips, Oklahoma's own Flaming Lips is receiving rave reviews on the club circuit. Some have said they're the next Janes's Addiction. Could it be true? Check 'em out at the next available opportunity. The Chainsaw Kittens, Oklahoma's own, have also been buzzing around town. The Kittens have also been getting national attention, with blurbs in "Rolling Stone" magazine and "Seventeen." Dependable sources say they're cool. Try 'ern out. And then there's Bellevue. (At least, at press time they were calling themselves Bellevue. The guys are considering a name change. Among the witty suggestions for alternative names are "Joe Cocker Spaniel," "Elton John Denver," "Mariah Karaoke," "Misled Zeppelin" and "Taco Bellevue.") Bellevue, hailing from the OKC area, are just a really fun band to see. Beside the beaucoup musical talent they posess, they can also tell a good joke. Set highlights include Neil Taylor's impersonation of Robin Zander during the Cheap Trick tunes, Lance Dierker's rendition of the Violent Femmes, Darrell Wilson impassioned guitar maneuverings and Darren Buck's impression of John Bonham. Also keep an ear out for the originals, especially "Johnny Be Dead." A night with Bellevue means a splendid time is guaranteed for all. Also making the rounds on the club scene are those long-haired Nixons, the Wake, A2Z and jillions of other bands. It would take years to check everybody out, so ask around. Word of mouth is pretty dependable when it comes to rating the music scene. Whatever your musical preference, there's a band somewhere in the city that can provide it. So call, ask friends or read the local tabloids, and support local music in OKC.

Transportation 1-35 holds surprises; Care for your car Area service centers can help keep you in the driver's seat By Suzanne Gert Guest Writer
Commuting can be a vehicular version of hell. Getting to school on time becomes a race against the clock when Mr. Car decides he doesn't really feel like making it to that 8:40, thank you very much. The red oil light flashing in your face becomes a corporate plot designed to make car owners feel like incompetent goombahs. One way to combat potential car suicide is to be familiar
with where you can receive efficient car care. Service stations and convenience stores seem to run amok in the Edmond area, but a few offer extra services that can make gasing up a little less painful. Texaco, 1308 N. Bryant Offers a brushless car wash for $1 with a gas purchase. Conoco, 1414 E. 2 Offers a free car wash with any purchase (limited time only)
Conoco, 1500 S. Broadway Offers a quick oil change (10 to 15 minutes) and will take personal checks.
Jiffy Lube, 130 E. 2
Offers a 14 point service oil change for $25.99 — plus tax. Specials include: Ladies Day on Tuesday $2 off Every fifth visit is $2 off

Transit system planned Van route will run from hospital to Walmart; Two new Edmond/OKC round trips added By Tami Watson Staff Writer
University of Central Oklahoma students and Edmond residents without transportation will soon find it a little easier to get around town. UCO, in cooperation with the City of Edmond and Metro Transit System of Oklahoma have established the first ever public transit system for Edmond, said Jalal Daneshfar of the UCO International Office and city council transportation committee member. "The system will provide a limited van service for Edmond residents which will connect to Oklahoma City through Metro Transit," said Daneshfar.

it would squelch the cruising problem in Moore. I'll run that one by the city council, but back to UCO commuters. We have a treacherous drive everyday, the room to be late to class increases with the length of the drive. We arrive only to find an empty parking space available in the north 40. That's a the clincher after 30 to 40 minutes of driving through morning traffic. Stop and go. Stop and go. Can you guess what interstate? A clue, there is
construction in progress. Sorry, bad clue. Where isn't there road construction in the Oklahoma City metro area? 1-35 north bound to the downtown area holds a wealth of suprises in morning rush hour. Traffic coming to an abrupt stop to suprise curves that the construction guys build to amuse themselves are two that I find annoying. But once I've made it to the downtown area and hit 1-235 I'm doing fine. It's easy sailing to UCO and Edmond. Thank goodness for the break, because now I have to fight the Edmondites for the right lane so I can turn on to 2nd street. After that harrowing experience, it's time again to jockey for position for the turning lane on to Godfrey. "I'm here, " I say to myself narrowly missing a student with backpack and binoculars. It's time to find that elusive parking space, you know, the one that's real close. Well that didn't work out so off I go to the great white north to park. As I amble to my 8:40 class, recapping the highlights of the morning drive, I wonder if I turned off the coffee pot.

Whether a student needs personal, academic or career counseling, or just someone to talk to, the University of Central Oklahoma Counseling Center provides it all. The counseling center, located in Room 101 of Evans Hall, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is available to any UCO student free of charge. The center consists of five divisions which include counseling, testing, correspondence, education and information guidance and multicultural student services and Co-Safe substance abuse counseling which work together to serve the students, said Peggy Foster, counseling center director. The center provides services for personal, academic and career issues. All sessions are performed by staff and graduate student counselors. "Personal counseling provides help for individual students as well as group services. When someone comes in, we provide them with a counselor and they talk one-on-one to determine what direction is needed," Foster
said. "The amount of counseling is also determined by the counselor and patient." Academic counseling offers help with learning skills, time management and other such services that will improve overall academic performance, she said. "Coping with tests," a test anxiety reduction program developed at Stratford University, is a main source used in the counseling center. It tests a person's level of anxiety and reports the scores in comparison to other students. Career counseling offers a variety of tests to help increase a person's awareness of interest, value and personality traits, she said. This service is performed by the computerized "Discover" comprehensive guidance program. After personal values and traits are established, the "Discover" system will match the person with an appropriate career. It also helps develop job-seeking skills, provides information on financial aid programs and selects specific schools to fit the career. Substance abuse counseling, Co-Safe, is another division of the counseling center. Co-Safe
is a campus-wide organization that promotes prevention to UCO students, faculty and staff, said Jan Chapel, substance abuse counselor. The organization provides educational training, assessment of substance abuse and co-dependency, individual and group counseling, social activities, literature on substance abuse, consultations and referrals to off-campus services. Co-Safe also promotes the "Designated Driver Program," which is in cooperation with BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), to help students avoid drinking and driving. "The 'Designated Driver Program' works with local restaurants and bars to provide free non-alcoholic drinks to the designated drivers," Chapel said. "More and more people are taking advantage of the substance abuse services. Approximately 60 students per semester come over and use the counseling center," she said. For more information contact the counseling center, at ext. 2215.

Health Is it insanity or stress? Health center cures more than sore throats
By Angela Mitchell Staff Writer
A sore throat is not the only thing treated at the University of Central Oklahoma Student Health Center. The center, which has been on campus for about 45 years, is located east of the library between Murdaugh Hall and West Hall. "The campus has been here for many years, but most of the student body is unaware of our services," said Susan LaForge, R.N. and student health center director. "If they do come over, it's usually for a sore throat." The center is open to any UCO student with a valid I.D. card. However, families of UCO students are not eligible. Two doctors, John Hackney, M. D., and Ronald Legako, M.D., are on staff part-time and can be seen Monday through Friday at 12:15 p.m. Other services include influenza injections, allergy shots, tuberculosis testing, throat cultures, pregnancy testing, birth control, PAP smears and sexually transmitted diseases. The health center also sells over-the-counter medicines which are cheaper and available in smaller quantities. The student health center is open Monday throught Friday, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Students who need medical attention after hours can call the center, and a nurse will be notified. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call ext. 2317.

and getting away from the situation temporarily or relaxing by visualizing a peaceful place. Ask yourself is this worth getting upset over and make a list of things that must be completed right then and put aside the rest. Long term ways of managing stress include keeping expectations realistic, accept what you cannot change, think positive, make your own decisions, manage your time, live in the present, take time for yourself and learn to anticipate stressful situations. LaForge said stress affects parts of our bodies that we are unaware of. The immune and nervous system, the heart, metabolism, hormone levels and recovery rates after an illness are often at risk.

Scholarships in for internationals By Tami Watson Staff Writer
If you are an undergraduate international student at the University of Central Oklahoma with a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, you may be eligible to apply for the new Ambassador Scholarship. The UCO International Office recently received funding from administration to offer the scholarship, said Jalal Daneshfar of the UCO International Office. The scholarship will be awarded to one female and one male international student each semester. "Students must have completed at least one full spring or fall semester at UCO prior to applying," said Daneshfar. The scholarship will pay state tuition for up to 15 semester hours for spring or fall and up to
nine hours for the summer semester. The International Office is also offering a one-time-only scholarship for the Spring '93 semester. The scholarship is for international graduate students who have a grade point average of 3.75 or above and who have completed at least one fall or spring semester of graduate school. "Students who are receiving any other type of scholarship will not be eligible," said Daneshfar. The scholarship will pay outof-state tuition for up to 12 hours of graduate credit and will be awarded to one female and one male student. Applications for both scholarships can be picked up in the International Office, Room 210G of the Administration Building .
Money Easy money? Direct access line makes process shorter By Traci McKnight Staff Writer
Students receiving financial aid this semester may have noticed a slight improvement on the amount of time it has taken to get their paperwork processed this year. This is because of the new direct line computer system, which directly links the University of Central Oklahoma Financial Aid Office to the computer of the A.C.T. headquarters. Since the installation of the computer system during the summer, the financial aid staff has been working to use
and understand the system and to serve the students receiving financial aid in the fall more quickly. "The computer has been very successful. There have been a few surprises, but they have been minimal," said Kenda Henthorn, assistant director of financial aid. However, Henthorn said the switch-over has not gone quite as smoothly as she had hoped. Even with the delays, the financial aid office is ready for the fall semester on time. "That's pretty much a first," said Henthorn. Assist slips can be picked
up through Sept. 8. Assist slips are for students to buy books, pay housing and use for other general financial purposes until their loan checks become available. The amount of money students spend before actually receiving their financial aid check will be subtracted from their final award amount. Henthorn said the financial aid office is hoping to have grant funding available for students by Sept. 29. Money available will include Perkins loans, SCOG, PELL and OTAG grants.

Freshmen: keep balance, get involved By Tami Watson Staff Writer
After months of waiting in anticipation, it's finally time to leave high school behind and enter the wide-open world of college. The next four plus years at the Univeristy of Central Oklahoma will be an experiment — a time to do new things and meet new people. It will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. College however, should not just be one big, huge, never-ending party. If it was, goals would never be achieved and nothing would ever get done. There must be a balance.

So when classes start to get stressful, find a healthy way to get rid of the tension. Find an interesting hobby, get involved in intramural sports or meet a neighbor. A few minutes of "me time" can also help you clear your thoughts. Joining a club or an organization is also a good choice. Groups, whether it be through the Greek system or through your major, allow you to meet other students with similar interests. They can also give you support through those rough times. Most likely, someone has been in the same situation at some point in their life and will be able to help pull you through. UCO offers a variety of
clubs and organizations — something for just about everyone. Information about those clubs and organizations, including information about seminars and other activities can be found on the many bulletin boards across the campus. Crisp fall nights can be spent watching the Broncho football team play at Wantland Stadium. Students can also catch volleyball and basketball games inside the Broncho Fieldhouse. Whatever your interests, UCO offers something for everyone. So as you enter what will become the best years of your life, keep one thing in mind — get involved.

It's Time for a New Angle, Don't You Think? The stock graphic icon in The Bronze Book 60 years ago was (you guessed it) Old North Tower (at left). Same angle, same lifeless symbol you've seen a hundred times since! Perhaps it's time we looked at Old North from a fresh point of view. This is the year for many exciting changes at UCOnew pres, new educational aspirations, probably a new record enrollment even. The Bronze Book is experiencing change too. We begin this school year with a new sense of purpose and objectives (the old scrap book concept is no longer relevant on most college campuses, in case you haven't heard); we're in the process of selecting a new staff; the Magazine Editing classes in the Journalism Department for the first time will assist the paid editors; new adviser; and new production hardware (Macs, scanners, printers—all the neat stuff to work with). •_

Old North Tower as it appears in the 1932 Bronze Book.
But to achieve our objectives we need your help. You can join us on our new adventure by applying for one of the six paid positions (editor, writers, photographers, advertising/marketing reps) —but no later than week's end; by enrolling in the magazine class; by taking special assignments as a volunteer; by contributing your ideas as we research our audience in the next few days; or by signing up for your copy of the '92-'93 Bronze Book (limited number of copies will be available next spring, naturally).
We'll be exploiting The Vista to inform you throughout the year as to what you can expect in May. But a few things we can promise now: 1. Cliche's will be minimized in picture and word content. 2. It'll be a quality publication, one you'll be proud to show your friends, relatives, or future employers. 3. The new book will be produced primarily by students, about students and for students. 4. And we will be working especially hard to reflect fairly on all individuals, groups and organizations.
So here's our first promotion. We'll reserve a free copy of the '92-'93 Bronze Book in your name (a $16 value) if you can submit the most improved shot of Old North Tower, b&w or color. Bring your best effort to 107C Communications Bldg.
not later than Oct. 15. And make sure you get your copy of the excitingly different '92-'93
