The Student Voice Since 1903

SGA president steps down after a week in office

By Julie Dye Staff Writer After spending most of last spring campaigning for and winning the president's seat for the Student Government Association, Colin Martin is resigning his post to take a position in University of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh's office.

At a meeting in Nigh's office Monday, Martin announced to Ben Harris, vice president of SGA and Amy Melvin, a representative standing in for Doug Redus, speaker of the Senate, that he will be taking the job of Student Liaison to the President.

"I'll do the grunt work in the president's office like filing, answering phones and driving the presi-

dent," Martin said.

"But I'll also attend student organization meetings as the president's representative. It's my responsibility to keep him up on what's going on around campus and the students' concerns and progress."

The meeting addressed the concern that students may question Martin for giving up his presidency.

Nigh said it was a stipulation that Martin give up his post to work in the office, to avoid a conflict of interest.

"It would not have been appropriate for me to hire the students' spokesperson," Nigh said. "But I did want to take a recognized student leader and put him in this office."

The big rush: from Alpha to Zeta

By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer Go to class, study, work, more study.

This is college — who has time to party?

Party may be a harsh word, but several fraternities and sororities at the University of Central Oklahoma could offer a social environment that may be the cure to the onset of the school-time blues.

Of the Greek organizations, eight houses on campus began their open rush, a period in which students of the university are encouraged to visit the houses, meet the members and possibly pledge their membership to their favorite fraternity or sorority.

The fraternities (organizations for men), will host one party each Wednesday

• •

evening for the next four weeks. These parties will allow young men that may be interested in joining a fraternity, to socialize, meet members and enjoy any refreshments that are available.

In alphabetic order the fraternities are: Acacia, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon.

The sororities (organizations for women) have two rush periods, a closed rush and an open rush. The first, closed rush, happens a week before classes start.

Girls interested are divided into groups and visit each sorority, choosing their favorites and listing them in order.

Afterwards, alumni from each sorority and Panhellenic officers, the sorority alliance, separate and decide the pledge-

ships.

Each sorority then has an open rush, normally offering a rush party on the first official day of rush.

ACACIA While most fraternities are named after letters of the Greek alphabet, Acacia takes a different approach.

"Acacia is a Greek proper name," said Toby Dixon, Acacia rush chairman. The translation means strength in distinction, said Shaphan Parker, Acacia president.

The fraternity however, is over 100 chapters strong, with the strongest emphasis in the north, particularly Indiana, although they are otherwise well

distributed, Dixon said.

At two years old, Acacia is the newest house on campus. It is located at 217 E. Ayers.

Their rush theme, displayed on their Tshirts, is: Forget what other people think of you. You are people. What do you think of yourself?

"We're down-to-earth," Dixon said, describing the group. "Our rush theme is just mainly to be yourself."

Wednesday's rush party offered music from the band Toe Jam. Future rush includes: Sept. 7 — Stand Up Comedy Night featuring comedy from Marty Johnson from

nce upon a time, students were told they'd be given priority parking on campus. And naively, we believed what we were told and went merrily on our way.

Once upon a time, students were told every tree possible would be saved. O000h, whoops — there went another whopper.

Once upon a time, students were told there would be temporary walkways constructed to help students through the construction. Haven't seen any? Gosh, we haven't either.

We students sure are a patient lot. We slog along, enduring professors who think basic humanities courses should be the university's "washout" courses. We labor in long lines only to be told there's a financial hold to be taken care of in an equally long line, so you can go back to the first long line, then back to another line. We are a tenacious bunch.

Students persevere the trials and traumas necessary, and four (maybe) years later have our coveted degree that may or may not help us get a job.

But that's okay. We'll carry on with nary a whimper as long as we're treated with a modicum of respect and dealt with honestly.

All we ask is not to be patronized, talked down to or lied to.

Pretty easy stuff ...

Just tell us the unvarnished, unfettered truth — however unfun that might be.

Because regardless of how much we might not like whatever bad news we get about trees or parking, we can deal with the truth lots easier than fiction.

And the administration and the students lived together respectfully forever (or at least until graduation.)

Wonder drug' making a comeback in Brazil

R

afael das Dores never had a chance.

He was never able to clap his hands, hug his older brother, or put his fingers to his mother's face. He could never learn to run, walk, or even crawl.

Rafael was a thalidomide baby.

His mother, Luciene, 23, a barely literate cleaning woman, had taken the potent sedative for morning sickness during the second month of pregnancy, unaware it could hurt her unborn son.

Thalidomide left Rafael with no arms, no legs. He weighed barely 2 pounds at birth. His heart was too small, his lungs undeveloeed.

Rafael lived 72 days. He spent his last hours gasping for air, his head flopping back and forth.

Shortly after 6 a.m. on June 29, his torso stiffened and he went cold in his father's arms.

But for Eliane Soares, 24, a patient at the Santa Isabel leper colony, thalidomide brought hope, not horror.

Yellow sores covered her body, letting out stinking air when they burst. Her knees swelled the size of melons. The light touch of a bedsheet on her joints gouged her nerves.

Like thousands of Brazilians with severe leprosy, she took thalidomide to soothe the inflammation and lesions that withstood the only alternative treatment, corticosteroids.

Now, there is new promise that thalidomide may be effective in a number of stubborn conditions that involve the immune system, from tuberculosis to AIDS, from lupus to rheumatoid arthritis, from cancer to organ transplants.

In the 1950's thalidomide was billed as a "wonder drug" by its maker, Chemie-Grunenthal of Germany. The company recommended it as a sleeping pill and, later, as a sedative for morning sickness.

Then horror struck: Thousands of mothers who used thalidomide during their pregnancy gave birth to children with no limbs, serious facial deformities and defective organs.

It was proven that Grunenthal had tampered with test results. In 1962, thalidomide was banned worldwide. The company pulled the drug from the market and, later, agreed to compensate victims.

By then, about 12,000 "thalidomide babies" had been born in 48 countries — largely in Germany, Japan and England.

Roughly 4,000 died shortly after birth.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration never approved the use of thalidomide. The drug claimed a few victims during tests in the United State.

Thalidomide proved highly effective in relieving fever and painful skin irritation caused by medication that killed leprosy bacilli. Encouraged, Brazil's military regime reintroduced the drug in 1966 to treat leprosy only.

Researchers say thalidomide keeps the body from producing a substance called tumor necrosis factor, or TNF, which fights infections and cancerous cells. If too much TNF is produced — as happens in people with AIDS, tuberculosis and leprosy —the body makes itself sicker.

At least 10 other babies not in the survey died as a result of thalidomide-caused deformities, and

activists know of eight women who chose to have clandestine abortions when sonograms revealed deformed fetuses.

Though the actual number of cases is impossible to determine, activists estimate there are at least 4,000 thalidomide victims in this nation of 155 million people.

"The horror was hushed up so long and the drug was so widely • distributed that we figure 4,000 victims to be a conservative estimate," says Rosangela Nascimento, president of the Brazilian Thalidomide Victims Association.

Confined to a wheelchair, Nascimento travels the country to find victims and warn parents about the drug.

"When we hear of victims and go to look for them, their neighbors and families often clam up," she says. "The poor and illiterate are in the greatest danger, but they fear punishment if they talk."

For Nascimento, born in 1961 with no legs and deformed hands because her mother used the drug, it is especially painful to see the emergence of a new generation of thalidomide babies.

"The worst part is that many parents still think it's God's punishment for something they did wrong, or a side effect of leprosy," she says.

The health ministry denies that • any birth defects were caused by thalidomide. It says the drug is tightly monitored and available only through the public health care system with a doctor's prescription.

`Russian Avant Garde' features rare glimpse of contemporary art

By Jason Webb

Staff Writer The Central Museum of Art will host the works of six Russian contemporary artists, including Igor Koutsenko, a part-time professor for the University of Central Oklahoma art department.

According to Bill Wallo, director of the art museum, the show, "Russian Avant Garde," will run from Sept.

4 - Oct. 11, and will feature the talents of Gennady Goncharov, Igor Koutsenko, Alexander Kudryavtsev, Inal Makeev, Boris Pak and Yuri Ryzhik.

Koutsenko, who teaches drawing I, will enter small pen and ink drawings into the show, said Wallo.

"My favorite piece," said Koutsenko, "is a picture of a

little girl standing on a street in the winter with a duck in her arms."

The show will consist of 68 works on paper, which includes painting (water and oil), printmaking (etching and lithography) and drawing, said Wallo.

Wallo explained that this is a rare opportunity for the people of UCO to view these works.

"These are major contemporary Russian names," he said.

Wallo also commented on the show by saying, "You don't have to speak Russian.

You can read them (the works) by eye."

An opening reception will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 4 in the museum.

Students can 'retreat to new Catholic center, $150,000 donated avoiding the crunch of college distractions to ig 'sPresident's Partners program

Staff Writer

4,

Edith Gaylord Harper, secretary emeritus of the Oklahoma Publishing Company, donated $150,000 to the UCO Foundation to participate in the President's Partners program.

The President's Partners is a program made up of contributors who give $1,000 or more yearly to the university.

The funds will be matched by the university and the $300,000 will be endowed, said President George Nigh.

The annual interest from the contribution is the only part of the money that will be used. The interest will be applied to faculty and staff development, said Nigh.

The interest will be used for scholarships, conferences

a

and equipment for faculty and staff, said Nigh.

The contribution is called the Edith Gaylord Harper Development Fund for Faculty and Staff Development, said Nigh.

Harper's attorney called and said that Harper thought UCO was on the move, and she wanted to help, Nigh said.

A committee will be appointed to decide the exact areas within the faculty and staff that the money will be distributed to, Nigh said. A

Running with the pack: Satisfaction guaranteed?

By Paul Eddy Staff Writer Belonging — it's a state of being — and for many incoming freshmen it may seem like a state of survival.

As young bewildered freshmen step into their first rush party, what do they see? A bunch of cool people hanging together, or a group of lost souls clinging desperately to the same thrown life preserver while being pulled farther from the shores of sanity?

Freshmen may often rush fraternities and sororities in crowds trying to belong. This can however, turn on them causing them to drop classes which may offer the chance for

Column friends.

But fraternities and sororities are not the only available organizations. Campuses often deluge their students with a plethora of clubs to join. These clubs are often geared to a more specific variety of people providing a more concrete set of common interest between

members, and this may or may not be more beneficial to those in search of friends.

Fraternities and sororities are often involved with community projects and school functions, and of course these take time and money, two things which most college students must keep careful track of.

When freshmen join fraternities or sororities, they should look past the weekend parties to the hangovers of the morning after, past the hours of fun spent hanging around at the chapter house to the lost hour of study, past the climb of their social life to the corresponding plummet of their academics.

So if you're a freshman, or just new and feeling lost, the fraternities and sororities may welcome you, but other clubs and prospective friends can be just as rewarding.

And hey, do you really need to belong to any one group, or are you ready to circulate amongst the different crowds and explore your possible futures, this, after all, is college and we should all try to get the most experiences possible out of the time we have to spend here.

"We're the largest fraternity in the state," said Shawn Bronchurst, co-rush chairman.

Although Bronchurst stressed academics, claiming eight out of 12 semesters with top grades among the Inter Fraternity Council, he said brotherhood was the strongest trait of the chapter.

"We have our share of parties and get rowdy and all that, but we have a real strong alumni association and our house is really tight," Bronchurst said.

The fraternity is strongest in the central U.S., particularly in Texas and Arkansas, said Shawn Feancarney, Sig Tau vice president.

The fraternity prides itself on intramural sports and scholastics.

Rush for the fraternity will be in a relaxed atmosphere, Feancarney said.

"It's mainly a laid-back theme saying 'Just come hang out and get to know us."'

Wednesday's rush was "Grillin' and chillin.'"

Their national philanthropies are for Alzheimer's, National Sea Coast mission, and gerontology.

Other houses on campus include Christian fellowships, such as Chi Alpha and the Baptist Student Union.

Tlingit Indians face exile by tribe EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — Two Alaska Native teen-agers have left jail for a different kind of punishment from tribal judges who could banish them to uninhabited islands.

Adrian Guthrie and Simon Roberts. who had been jailed since shortly after attacking and robbing a pizza deliveryman in August 1993, were released Wednesday to tribal judge Rudy James.

The youths will be judged by a traditional tribal court in Alaska. James said each youth would likely be banished to a remote island for a year with the hope that the experience would spiritually cleanse them. They would be given tools and wilderness training before leaving.

Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jim Townsend said he would appeal.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A television news anchor was suspended for two weeks without pay because he served as master of ceremonies at a political rally.

Mike Snyder was suspended Monday after The Dallas Morning News asked officials at KXAS about the newsman's involvement in Sunday's rally for Republican gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush, said news director David Overton.

Snyder is co-anchor of the KXAS evening and late-night newscasts.

"He apparently did make some comments that raise some pretty serious issues in terms of his position as the anchor on Channel 5," Overton said.

The News said Snyder told rally-goers that he had voted for Republican candidates and described Bush as "the next governor of Texas."

TORONTO (AP) — Researchers have begun to unravel the complex links between genes and obesity with the discovery of about 20 spots on human chromosomes that may influence people's weight.

"We're well on our way," said Claude Bouchard of Laval University in Ste-Foy, Quebec. He said he is involved in studies that have identified 10 to 12 genes related to body fat content or to the body's response to overeating.

Janis Fisler and Craig Warden at the University of California, Los Angeles have identified six locations in the genes of mice that are likely to harbor genes related to obesity.

All of thor,e genes have counterparts in humans, they said.

Other research has suggested other candidate genes, so the current total of specific genes or genetic regions linked to obesity is now about 20, Bouchard said Wednesday at the Seventh International Congress on Obesity.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Charles and his estranged wife will battle it out in the bookstores in November, with new accounts from opposite sides of the fractured fairy-tale marriage.

Tabloid newspapers reported today that Diana is the subject of a new book by Robert Morton, author of a previous book that gave her side of a disintegrating marriage.

Michael O'Mara Books confirmed that it will publish "Diana: Her New Life" on Nov. 8, just five days after Jonathan Dimbleby is to publish his biography, "The Prince of Wales."

Dimbleby has already scored the royal scoop of the year by getting Charles to admit he had not always been faithful to his wife.

Charles and Diana formally separated in December 1992.

In the interview with Dimbleby broadcast in June, Charles denied rumors that he had been unfaithful from the start of his marriage in 1981. He insisted he had kept his vows until the marriage "became irretrievably broken down."

After extensive travels, new instructor will 'settle in' at UCO nursing department by teaching at hospital

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

Lynn C. Kennedy (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith)

U •

After traveling and working in as many as six states and living as far away as Japan, the new nursing instructor for the University of Central Oklahoma seems to have found a new home.

Lynn C. Kennedy, new instructor of general medical and surgical classes, has been a nurse for 16 years after receiving her master's degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis. In the spring she will teach general obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) and pediatrics.

Kennedy will have 8-10 students assigned to her and will take those students into a clinical facility at a local hospital.

"During this time the students will learn basic nursing skills, these skills include morning care which consists of a bed-bath, setting a patient up for meals, and learning to physically assess the patients condition," said Kennedy.

A native of Allentown, Pa., Kennedy arrived in the Oklahoma City area after her husband of 16 years was transferred to Tinker Air Force Base.

"It has been difficult as a military wife to keep a 16-year nursing career. We have been stationed in about eight different places and I have been a licensed nurse in six different states," said Kennedy.

"Fortunately, all states have a reciprocity agreement. I usually pay a set fee in each state to have my license transferred," she said.

After graduating with a bachelor's of science degree in nursing from Wilkes

University in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. in 1978, she took her state board exam to become a registered nurse.

"When I finished graduate school in 1986, my husband was assigned to Kadena Air Force Base at Bothom, Okinawa, Japan for three years. The only facility for me to work there was Lester Naval Hospital, which is pretty much manned by air force personnel," said Kennedy.

"There were quite a few dependent wives with nursing backgrounds over in Okinawa who wanted to be active in their profession, so we got together with the Red Cross and formed two programs."

"The first was at Kadena Air Force Base where we did visiting nurses with new moms and their babies," she said.

"The other program was in Lester Naval Hospital," Kennedy said.

"This was a medical/surgical program where we volunteered to work in the surgical wards. We had our own nurses association on Okinawa which helped keep us up to date in the profession," Kennedy said.

"One thing about being a military wife is that I have practiced my profession and met so many different people over the years," said Kennedy.

Kennedy said that when Christmas arrives, the people she has come into contact with over the many years of nursing and being a military wife, bring back fond memories of times gone by.

"Memories are very close to you at this time of year," she said.

"And I think of many of the nurses I have been close to in Okinawa and other places, and it truly has been a wonderful experience." .01)

Mesa State poses as no pushover

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer Saturday night the Central Oklahoma Bronchos will open the '94 season against a veteran Mesa State squad at Wantland Stadium.

The Mavericks bring in a team that returns 65 lettermen, including 20 starters from last year's 55 team.

Leading the Mavericks will be senior quarterback Jake Logue, 62, 210. Last season Logue passed for 1,558 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Also returning are Mesa State's three leading tacklers from last year, linebacker Troy Funk, free safety Mike Parisi and strong safety Barnel Fail.

"They've got a lot of players back from a team that was playing pretty well at the end of the season and that experience concerns us," said UCO Head Coach Gary Howard.

"Mesa's got a good quarterback who can throw the ball and they've got several of their best receivers

back, so that will be a big test for us," said Howard.

In last year's meeting the Bronchos rushed for over 300 yards, finishing with 423 yards of total offense. The Bronchos took a 9 -7 halftime lead before amassing a 28-point explosion in the second half, routing the Mavericks 37-7 in Grand Junction, Colo.

The series is tied 2-2.

The Bronchos are currently riding a 10-game non-conference winning streak that began with the final non-conference game of 1991.

Under coach Gary Howard the Bronchos are 10-7 in season openers, winning three of its last four opening games (1990, '92, '93).

The Bronchos and the Mavericks will kick off at 7 p.m.

The Central Oklahoma volleyball team won't be able to just ease into the 1994 season. Instead, UCO must take a test, a tough test that should answer some questions about the '94 Lady Bronchos.

What makes it a tough test?

First, UCO must open on the road, heading to St. Louis, Mo. to take part in the Red and Gold Classic Friday and Saturday. Second, three of four teams in the tournament had winning records last year and third, the UCO volleyball team is almost brand new. "(The Red & Gold Classic) will be a good test for us," said UCO Head Coach Mark Herrin. "Three of the four teams had good records last year and all of them return quite a few players. We're anxious to get starterd to see where we're at and what areas we most need work on."

On Friday, UCO will face Alabama-Huntsville at 4:30 p.m. and Eckerd at 8:30p.m. Saturday, the Lady Bronchos will meet Colorado-Colorado Springs at 2 p.m. before facing host MissouriSt.Louis at 4 p.m.

Missouri-St. Louis (26-10), Alabama-Huntsville (27-17) and Colorado-Colorado Springs (1915) finished with winning records last year while the fourth team in the tournament, Eckerd, finished 9-22.

The Lady Bronchos will enter the tournament with a team that

has only two starters returning from last year's 23-14 team. Senior returning starters Angie Schoof and Carrie Hare will lead a UCO team with seven newcomers on their 12-player roster.

Final go-round for Hare

By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer Senior Carrie Hare is set to lead the University of Central Oklahoma volleyball team for the last time.

Entering her fourth season, the 5-10" outside hitter is poised to lead the Lady Bronchos on to victory and hopefully a Lone Star Conference title.

After leading her Norman High School Tigers to a 50-0 record and the 1990 state 5-A championship as a senior, Hare came to UCO as a two-time All-stater and team MVP. In 1991, Hare started at setter as a true freshman.

place in the LSC. Hare also earned two spots on the single-match records books.

Serving seven aces against Tulsa earned her second place in UCO history. Also, fourth-place on the assists record belongs to her with 66.

1992 was a season of big changes for Hare, she changed from setter to outside hitter.

Having played all 41 matches, Hare found herself leaving her mark on the record books, again.

Her kill and attack totals for the year ranked third on the singleseason charts.

Finishing second on the team in kills, attacks, aces and digs was enough evidence to prove that the transition did not effect her playing and she has stayed at outside hitter since.

liner. This is the first season that she is Carrie Hare, having married John Hare in July.

Ending the season with 392 digs and 418 kills, Hare was once again one of the best in UCO history ranking third in digs and fifth in kills in the single-season record books.

Her total number of digs, an average 10.6 digs per match, also ranked 10th in the conference.

Her stellar junior season, leading the team in kills, attacks, aces and digs earned her honorable mention All-LSC honors.

The versatile athlete enters the 1994 season with her name in the top three in five career categories, second in assisted blocks and third in kills, attacks, assists and digs.

New professors teach 'write' angle

By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer "The major question in my writing is when to give up hope," said Stewart O'Nan, previously an adjunct professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. This fall, he will teach the classes: "Writing the Novel," "Advanced Novel Writing" and "Short Story Writing."

Three new staff members were added to the University of Central Oklahoma's creative studies department this fall.

O'Nan, already a published novelist and short story writer, hopes to gain recognition as a screenwriter, with one screenplay currently under consideration with an undisclosed source in Hollywood.

"In comparison to my short stories and novels, screenplays come easier for me, they deal more with mainstream characters," he said.

O'Nan won the 1993 Drue Heinz prize for short-fiction from his collection of 12 short stories, In the Walled City, published by the University of Pittsburgh Press.

The book, described by O'Nan as being "in vain of Hemingway's Men Without Women, are stories about men from several age groups trying to cope with their perception of life.

O'Nan's newest novel, Snow Angels, winner of the William Faulkner award in 1993, will be

out Oct. 20. The book is being handled by David Gernert (John Grisham's The Firm ).

O'Nan describes his writing as grim and violent, dealing with subjects such as death, divorce and questions of faith in everyday extremes.

Irene Martin, adjunct professor and graduate of UCO, will be teaching the class, "Inspirational Writing."

Martin wrote the novel, Emerald Thorn, a fictional depiction of a woman's survival after missing the rapture of the church. She is currently working on its sequel, expected to be finished by late fall, presently entitled Crystal Perceptions.

Martin will also be speaking at the Creative Studies Writers Institute's first fall meeting Sept. 10.

The class, "Writing the Political Novel," will be taught

by Leonard Scott, although he winces at the name.

"It is really 'Writing the Historical Novel, — Scott said.

Four of Scott's six books are Vietnam War novels. Scott used real events and battles, from both history and his personal experiences in Vietnam, and put characters into them.

"I just put people there (in his books) that you would know.

My job as a writer is to make this person someone that you can relate to," Scott said.

Scott said his Vietnam novels stemmed from his inability to find books for his son that accu-

"I didn't like what I read. I thought 'Hey, these guys missed the point.' So I just sat down and wrote my own book," Scott said.

Scott said his first book was written longhand on 1,400 pages of legal-length paper with very little experience in writing.

Scott also wrote The Iron Men, an action-adventure about the fall of the Berlin wall. His newest book, due out next summer is Forged in Honor.

Currently, Scott is working on the first book in a series about the Civil War entitled Duty Calls.

cal science and a master's in education, Scott said he feels English and writing are not necessarily related.

"A book is not about English, a book is about people — and people talk. It's dialogue," Scott said.

Scott's books are available from Random House Publishing.

His Vietnam War books include: First Charlie Mike, The Last

Once in a lifetime UCO professors journey to Mexico, observe controversial election

By Matt Williamson Staff Writer It was the first real election in 60 years. Mexico's future was hanging in the balance, it was a chance to change the political and economic outlook of the government, and two professors from the University of Central Oklahoma were there.

"People were talking politics in the home and at work for the first time in a long time," said Dr. Paula Smith, associate professor of economics at UCO. Teaching at UCO's sister school, Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estada de Puebla gave Smith a unique opportunity to listen to the local population.

"There was an excitement in the air, a mood. Everyone realized it was a very important election in the history of Mexico," said Smith.

Smith and Dr. Lou Furmanski went to Mexico City as unofficial observers from UCO. Furmanski, an associate professor for the department of political science, became ill and was forced to remain in the hotel for most of the trip.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) has run the government for the past six decades and the people often think of it as the government, said Smith.

The PRI squared off against the more conservative pro-business National Action Party (PAN) and the leftist Democratic Revolutionary Party.

"Some of the students at de Puebla

Being badges and they whisked inside and up unofficial observers, there were things to the roof," said Smith. we could do that the officials could Once on the roof, newly installed not," said Smith. phone cables were found leading down One of the smaller infractions Smith into a clandestine computer operation. observed was the posting of political Neighbors reportedly saw the man

While standing outside a local PAN polling house, a man asked her if she knew what was going on only a few streets away. On the way to find what the man was talking about, Smith joined KWTV 9 reporter Deborah Lauren and her cameraman.

self and eventually left," said Smith.

Downstairs, the group of gathering press and several area residents found what they believed was a government car, but no proof of identification was discovered.

"The last elections, in '88, were about economics, particularly macro economics. This election was about politics," said Smith.

Smith spent last spring teaching business courses in Mexico at UCO's sister city, and ended up staying through the summer, observing lifestyles and teaching while touring parts of Mexico.

At least seven other UCO staff members have visited the Puebla university.

Dr. Kenneth Elsner, dean of the college education; President George Nigh; Don Powers, director of safety and environmental management; G. Kay Powers, dean of the college math and science; Donald D. Paulsen, executive-in-residence with the Nigh Institute, Dr. Frank S. Wert, dean of the college of business and Dr. George P.

Students can get kicks participating on indoor, outdoor soccer teams

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer Students who want a kick in the grass are needed for the University of Central Oklahoma soccer club.

Currently, both the men's and women's teams are playing in an indoor soccer league at Chico's Soccer Villa.

Plans are also being made for the club to play an outdoor schedule beginning in mid-September, said Jalal Daneshfar, club spo nsor and Immigration Adviser/Activities coordinator of the International Office.

The teams will possibly compete in the Central Oklahoma Adult Soccer League (COASL), which is comprised of area recreational teams, said Daneshfar.

"This will not be as competitive as our spring league, when we play college teams. Many of those teams are playing varsity soccer in the fall," said Daneshfar.

The club encourages membership because it will be playing in both an indoor and outdoor league.

The best players will be selected to play in the games, but others are needed for practice

c:›

and organizational purposes, said Daneshfar.

"Because we are not varsity, we cannot obligate the students to their responsibilities.

"If the same top players don't show up, then we go down the list and the ones that are available get to play," said Daneshfar.

"We don't lock ourselves to a roster and say good-bye to the others."

Besides the opportunity to play soccer, club members are also eligible to win a scholarship.

The club is given $500 per semester. At the end of each term, the club rewards the most valuable female member with a $200 scholarship. The two most valuable male members get $150.

"This is based on performance as a club member, not necessarily as a player," said Daneshfar.

The men play indoors on Sundays and practice from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays on the field in front of Hamilton Fieldhouse.

The women's team plays indoors on Thursdays and practices from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays.

The UCO soccer club has its monthly meeting at 5:30 p.m. the last Wednesday of each month in the Oklahoma Room of the University Center.

New computer courses offered

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer Dr. Phyllis Thornton, chairperson and associate professor of computing science at the University of Central Oklahoma announced changes to the computer science departmental curriculum at a social gathering held in the University Center Monday.

New computer courses are being offered and several math courses have been added to the degree requirements for students starting this fall, said Thornton.

New requirements for a computer science degree include, college algebra and trigonometry, desecrate math, and major calculus.

The additional math requirements were made in order to base the curriculum on a solid scientific foundation. The new requirements will make it easier for students to get into graduate schools.

"We realize that many of our students will not go on to graduate school, so our main goal is to prepare students for high levels of responsibility and expertise in the work place," said Thornton.

"The new program is designed to help students become good problem solvers with strong computer backgrounds," said Thornton.

Much of the computer equipment used today will not be used five years from now, and changes in the program were

designed to allow students to extrapolate skills into new situations, said Thornton.

"The old curriculum was causing students to fall behind," said Lester McCann, instructor of computing science at UCO. "We found that two computer language courses did not provide students with an adequate enough background for the higher level computer courses required for the degree," said McCann.

The new curriculum changed the programming I course to a three credit course rather than two, with an emphasis on the C language, which is a computer language.

The requirement of major calculus rather than non major calculus was added so that students would get more background in proofs and for improved practical experience, said McCann.

"Two motivations exist in this program. Either we prepare a student for grad school or we prepare the student for the work place.

The new courses offered by the computer science department include Visual BASIC and DOS BIOS programming.

Seminars being offered will cover the advanced use of the UNIX operating system, file structures and compilers.

For more information about these courses, consult the UCO catalog or contact Thornton at 341-2980, Ext. 5388.

Riding the 'tales' of Magic, new game sweeps stores

By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

Night has fallen and in the shadows of cities throughout the world, traces of blood spill from greedy mouths seeking to fill the hunger and emptiness. This is the world of the vampire, this is the world of Jyhad.

Jyhad is a card game similar to the popular game Magic. In fact, it is made by the same company. The main difference in the games are the genres from which they are based. Magic is taken from sword and magic-type fantasy, while Jyhad takes place in a darker present where vampires masquerade as humans and maintain rules which have kept them from being exposed for centuries.

Send art to photo show at sister school in Puebla

By Paul Eddy Staff Writer Would you like a chance to influence the way people will think of central Oklahoma? Then pick up a camera and start shooting.

The University of Central Oklahoma is sending a photo exhibition to Puebla, Mexico.

The theme of each photograph should deal with an aspect of central Oklahoma, such as seasonal events and landmarks, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, associate professor of visual art and design at UCO. The exhibit entitled "Images of Central Oklahoma," came about due to the efforts of Adams, and Carl Reherman, director of the Nigh Institute of State Government at UCO. "This is the first cultural

exchange that we will have with Puebla, and I think that it is exciting and important.

"We had been exploring the possibility of such a show for about a year, and this is what came about," said Adams.

The show will be exhibited in the Donna Nigh Gallery upon its return from Mexico, said Adams.

Forty-five to 50 entries will be accepted for the show, said Adams.

The deadline for entries is Sept. 15. There is a $5 fee for the submission of up to three entries.

A cash award will be given for best of show.

There will also be an award for the best color, and the best black and white photos.

Sam's Club recalls undercooked wieners

Multicultural Student Service sponsors tasty musical treat: strolling Mexican Minstrels

PAGE1:7-1

THE VISTA

If a little Mexican music with your lunchtime taco adds spice to its' flavor, the central cafeteria on Sept. 6 is the place for you.

The University of Central Oklahoma's Multicultural Student Service is sponsoring "The Strolling Minstrels," 25 students from Benavente College, Puebla, Mexico.

The Minstrels will entertain from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the cafeteria and 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the Oklahoma Room at the University Center.

They will perform at the University of Oklahoma (OU) later that day, said Barry Lofton, coordinator of multicultural student services.

The Strolling Minstrels evolved from the Spanish Mariachi musicians.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP)- Ohse Foods voluntarily recalled on Sept. 29 about 14,000 pounds of Ohse Gold Label Bun Size wieners that had been distributed exclusively through Sam's Club stores in nine states.

Ohse spokesman Ken Ward said the recall applies to only boxes containing 16 of the three-pound packages of wieners sold in Sam's Club stores and no other Ohse products.

The wieners were distributed through stores in 29 cities in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South

They will entertain by singing songs and playing a variety of Spanish instruments including the requinto, which is similar to a guitar but is held in a horizontal position, said Larry Garza Medina, assistant director of student support services at OU. "The costumes worn by the students are similar to the costumes worn by medieval Spanish minstrels," said Medina.

They are unique by the fact that they are decorated with colored ribbons representing the school colors and the school crest is embroidered on the cape, Medina said.

The students will make several appearances in the Oklahoma City area between Sept. 1 and 7.

Two of the most significant performances are for the governor and at the state capitol, Medina said.

Staff Writer Diane Busch, Joyce Gilchrist, Charles Lamb and Edwin Nall will be honored Sept. 23, at the University Center Ballroom, for the Distinguished Former Students award.

Donna Peters, director of development and alumni affairs, said that an alumni, in order to be qualified, had to be nominated by another person with a letter of recommendation and a resume'.

The winners were then chosen by the University of Central Oklahoma Alumni Association Board of Directors.

Describing why these four out of 50

A USDA statement urged consumers who bought the wieners to return them unopened to the stores where they purchased them. It said two Sam's Club stores advised the company that "red purge" in some packages indicated the wieners may have been undercooked.

recipients won, Peters said Busch is a professor at South Western Oklahoma State University, Nall was a "pioneer for FM radio, Lamb is "involved in everything in the Edmond community and Gilchrist is a "leading forensic scientist in the United States."

The winners are required to attend the awards ceremony at 6:30 p.m., Sept. 23, where they will receive recognition and a trophy, and will ride in the Homecoming parade on Saturday, said Peters.

The Alumni Association have given between 350 and 400 awards since 1952, said Peters.

"As long as there is a man around, I'm gonna have me one," are words that came from the lips of the Oklahoma legend Belle Starr, said Linda McDonald, creative studies lecturer for the University of Central Oklahoma.

McDonald recently completed the first "Tough Trip draft of her screenplay Through Paradise, the story of Belle Starr " "I'm in the 'letting it sit in the drawer stage,' " said McDonald, referring to a stage in which a writer lets a piece "cool off" before undergoing the editing process.

McDonald said she has been interested in Belle Starr for many years and decided to make her the subject of a screenplay.

She plans to concentrate on building the relationships between Belle Starr and her daughter and son in the second draft,

she said.

Her first screenplay, "Higher Empowerment," was co-written with Karen Sharp and is about the dark side of a grass-roots spirirual leader.

McDonald is still working on the fifth draft of her second screenplay, "Out Of The Blue," which she feels the strongest.

It is a story about. extra-terrestrials and native Oklahomans, she said. "Tough Trip Through Paradise" is her third screenplay.

"They say to have at least two screenplays you're really proud of before writing the agents," McDonald said. "This is about where I'm at—it's what I've been striving for."

McDonald has written, directed and acted in several plays, some of which have been staged in New York and Dallas. She holds master's degrees in Theater and in Creative Studies.

McDonald is teaching the Screenwriting and Playwriting classes this fall for the UCO Creative Studies department.

Avian conservation center Sleep disorder, brain damage possibly in Bartlesville is taken off `endangered' list for now linked to obesity

By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer

T

he American bald eagle, once listed as an "endangered - species, is being reclassified as a "threatened" species by National Wildlife Federation (NWF).

Now, the non-profit avian research center that helped to save the eagles struggles to remain off the endangered list.

The Sutton Avian Research Center in Bartlesville, Oklahoma was under a financial crunch that could have forced it into extinction. But due to the financial support of local businesses and concerned citizens. the center will remain open, said Steve Sherrod, director of the center. $250,000 was raised for the center by the mid-August deadline, allowing it to continue current research projects, such as the bald eagle surveys and prairie song bird studies, said Sherrod.

"We are by no means home free.

"The center has the funds to operate for the rest of this year, but there is a goal to raise $5 million so that the center can operate on the interest," said Sherrod.

W

ith the interest amounting to $400,000 a year, the center can reinstate some of the programs it has been forced to end and rehire the additional personnel necessary to keep up with the projects, said Sherrod.

Some projects such as the center's education program for schools and the general public and the breeding of California condors have been curtailed until additional funding can be established, said Sherrod.

The largest contribution to the center came from Don Henley, lead singer for the Eagles rock

group.

The rock singer contributed $100,000 to the center, and is continually active in eagle preservation, said Sherrod.

"It was purely coincidence that we fell into financial trouble during NWF's reclassification of bald eagles.

Unfortunately, with funding still needed, we have been forced to tighten our focus on current projects at the expense of others," said Sherrod.

The center was responsible for the release of 275 bald eagles. The birds were hatched from eggs collected from nesting pairs around the nation, said Sherrod.

There are currently 15 nesting pairs in Oklahoma. That is beyond the recovery goal of ten for the state," said Sherrod. espite the center's financial problems, it continues to perform research into the problems birds are having with human territorial expansion.

The center was chosen as the fourth national site for the breeding of California condors, but the program is temporarily on hold until additional funding can be found, said Sherrod.

"We are researching the reduction in prairie songbird populations," said Sherrod.

Out of 135 species of songbirds including the Scissors-tail Fly Catcher, Whippoorwill, Meadowlark and other perching birds, roughly 47 species are suffering declines in population, said Sherrod.

"Birds are 'environmental barometers.' They tell us when there is a problem with the ecosystem, but many times peo-

The finding that this is happening in obese adolescents is potentially very important, he said.

Rhodes described her work as a preliminary study. She and her colleagues studied 14 adolescents, five of whom had what's suffered temporary cessation of breathing during sleep. The episodes last 10 seconds or more, until the sleeper awakes and resumes breathing, she said.

TORONTO (AP) — Obese adolescents are at risk of developing sleep disturbances that can cause learning disorders and a significant drop in IQ, a study found.

The study was done on severely obese adolescents, but it's possible the same thing is happening in some moderately obese adolescents, researchers said.

"There's a decrease in oxygen to the brain and it leads to a type of brain damage," said the study's principal author, Susan K. Rhodes, a psychologist at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.

Because adolescents' brains are still developing, putting obese adolescents on diets could

ple just don't listen," said Sherrod.

Because of the pesticide DDT, bald eagle eggs were forming too thin. When the roosting birds sat to warm their eggs, the eggs were crushed, and the eaglets would die, said Sherrod.

"Unfortunately, DDT was not banned until 1972 because women were getting breast cancer from vegetables tainted with the pesticide," said Sherod.

"Scientists knew the birds were being affected for years before the ban," he said.

"The center accepts volunteers, but the bottom line is we need money," said Sherrod.

At present the center is continuing its research efforts on a minimum budget, said Sherrod.

"Frankly, we are overwhelmed by the encouragement and support we have received from the public and business community. ollowing our call for help, Kenneth Adams, a Bartlesville rancher and businessman extended a substantial challenge grant," said Sherrod.

Other contributors who helped the center meet its financial goal include the Phillips Petroleum Foundation, the Tulsa World, the Kerr Foundation, Public Service Company, Creek Nation Gaming, the John Steele Zink Foundation, the McCune Foundation, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, and the U.S. Fish and wildlife Service.
