U.S., China, Taiwan:

Spinning political web of rights, relations By Susan Reger Staff Writer Some suggest the reason U.S. relations with China are strained today is that both countries have lost the threat of a common enemy, the Soviet Union, which forces both to take a closer look at each other. Relations between the two vastly different cultures is at a low point today due to problems with human rights violations, nuclear arms buildup and trade deficits, said Dr. Xiao-Bing Li, UCO's assistant professor of history. With elections scheduled next year in both countries, Li believes this is a critical period in history and that both sides are being very cautious. The Associated Press reports that plans for a fall presidential summit is an attempt to repair the problems that have plagued

relations between the two countries over the last few months. However, Li said he believes the move for a summit is more "for show" for upcoming elections and that little will be accomplished. Clinton, whose international relations record has been weak during his term, could win or lose during the summit because many Athericans are down on China, Li said. He said he also believes Harry Wu, the human rights activist who was recently deported to America from China, is not happy that his release appeared to be a bargaining chip. Li said Wu and others believe the release came about so Hillary Clinton could attend the United Nations Fourth _ World Conference on Women in Beijing in September. The United States claims no

deal was made. According to a recent Reuter report, many people will have their eyes on the conference, and there is a possibility that demonstrations will be staged. The report said a school sports field near Beijing will be set up for protests during the U.N. conference, another welcome decision by the White House. A New York Times report said the worst nightmare in Asia would be a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. "The Taiwanese feel threatened, especially after recent Chinese missile exercises off the waters of Taiwan," said Li. Li said he believes the aggressive efforts of Taiwanese President Lee Teng Hui to establish diplomacy with the United States has angered China,

Library to close for four days By Mike Gustafson Staff Writer Students should be prepared for the temporary closing of the library, beginning 6 p.m., Friday, Sept.8 to 8 a.m., Monday, Sept. 11. The library will be closed for asbestos abatement in the basement, in order to connect it to the new Central Plant system, said Carol Barry, assistant director of public services.

"When you renovate, you must remove asbestos from the area," said Barry. "After the process is finished, the area will be inspected to make sure it is safe before it is reopened." Barry expressed her concern for students who will be affected by the closing. "Our goal is to have as little down-time as possible," said Barry. "We hope students will not be inconvenienced by the closing. The Edmond Sun, along

with deans and department chairs, will be notified as soon as possible." The library will remain open as often as possible, but because of construction, it may be closed again in November or December, said Barry. "We may shut down when the new heating and air system is installed," she said. "Hopefully it will be when students are away for Thanksgiving or Christmas."

When aspirin meets acupuncture

hat is it about the East, with its "mystical" practices like acupuncture, reflexlogy, palmistry and herbal medicine, that draws the West irresistibly to it? Is it the intoxicating aroma of burning incense? The mesmerizing touch of a masseur's hand? Or the rhythmic lull of soft chanting? Whatever it is, the West is embracing it like a lost child. In this era of cold calculations, faceless facts and impassionate figures, it is interesting to witness the phenomenon of civilized and rational people flocking in droves to ancient remedies. We are so used to pegging things neatly in their respective holes, labeling them and putting them aside for future reference. So how does one categorize age-old beliefs? They say time is the litmus test for truth, and if this is so, then the recent influx of Asian healing practices may well smack of authenticity. Their popularity is a challenge to the traditional tenets of the medical profession, and forces modern science—with all its pat theories on the whys and wherefores—to take a long, hard look at itself. It's almost as if people are turning away from rationalism to experiment with the ethereal. Western doctors have criticized the logic of penetrating needles into one's skin to alleviate pain, or eating certain, "healing" foods to harmonize body fluids. They -claim it's only a placebo effect, that it's all in the mind. Yet practitioners of Eastern medicine defend it both as a science as well as artform. Until more conclusive evidence can be presented for or against either side, there isn't any harm dabbling in both or none at all. Like the case of monosodium glutamate— whatever works for you, keep doing it. A

Study tips offered in workshop By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

It's the third week of classes and if you are already having trouble finding the time to study, relax— "Study Skills Workshop I" will be offered at 6 p.m. Sept. 12 in the University Center's Seminole Room. Sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Student Services, the workshop will be presented by UCO's director of career development and placement services Dr. Kathryn Gage. Barry Lofton, coordinator of multicultural student services, said the workshop will be one of four free workshops they are planning to have this year. The next workshop is scheduled for Oct. 10. "Each month we will be doing some kind of study-skillscollege-type survival workshop," said Lofton. This is an opportunity for freshmen and transfer students to become accustomed to studying at a major university. "A lot of times, freshmen don't know how to study—they bring their high school studying habits to college. That's not going to work. We are going to teach them how to study and take a test in college," Lofton said. Sometimes, transfer students from junior college enter the university and they are not quite ready for a four-year school. The workshop gives both freshmen and transfer students a good idea on how to handle college life as far as academic study skills are concerned, Lofton said. "The workshop is open to everyone, including the public. We do have continuing students come to the workshops as well as high school student," he said. "This is one of the many services we put on throughout the year and is always well attended." For more information call 341-2980, Ext. 2580.

Black Student Association plans new activities for fall By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer

All summer long, newlyelected officers from the Black Student Association have been planning new activities for the fall, said Jamie Lynn Nichols, vice president of the association. "We have a whole new cabinet who are willing and able to do things for African

Americans here on campus," Nichols said. "Future projects include a social dinner, a singles convention and a craft show, as well as trying to get President Nigh to let us start a mentor program for African American students." The association plans to cook, sell and deliver soul food dinners to students, staff and faculty, said Aaron Givens, president of the

club. "We will be doing this in October or November from the Baptist Student Union," he said. Givens said he will do a little cooking along with other members. There are also plans in the works to attend local high schools and talk to the African American students there about UCO so as to increase recruitment and retention of

UCO students and faculty display their works in exhibition By John Clanton Staff Writer

An exhibition featuring works made out of wool, felt and paper by UCO students and faculty will be on display through Sept. 15 in the Donna Nigh Gallery, on the fourth floor of the University Center. The exhibit, entitled "Expressions: Papermaking and Feltmaking" is part of a class taught last summer by adjunct professors Janet Duffer-Shepard and Pamela Husky. The last time this class was offered was in 1993 and will probably not be offered again for

two more years, said Dr. Jo Ann Adams, director of fiber arts at UCO. The class was started to point out other aspects of the fiber arts, said Adams. "We're really excited, the quality of this exhibit surpassed the 1993 exhibit," she said. Karen Kirkpatrick and Ginger Freeman won Best of Show Awards. There were also awards given for Juror's choice and Honorable Mention. Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

who still believes it has unfinished business with Taiwan. China regards Taiwan as a renegade province, while many Taiwanese now hope for a country of their own, he said. "President Lee is now changing many policies in a new move towards independence," said Li. China became angry with the United States over the summer when it invited President Lee to attend his school reunion here in the states, said Li. "Although the United States and Taiwan broke relations during the 1970s after the Nixon/Kissinger talks with China, the two countries do share cultural and economic relations," said Li. "The two countries share a similar ideology which embraces democracy and freedom." Tina Yeh, president of the UCO Taiwanese Student Association, said immigration from Taiwan to Australia or the United States has been high this

year because of threats from China, who wants control of Taiwan. Yeh said she agrees with Li that the two cultures are vastly different. "In China, one has to share everything with others, but in Taiwan we own our own homes and cars," said Yeh. "There are no freedoms in China." Yeh said she believes the relations between Taiwan and the United States are good. "There are so many opportunities to meet other people in America," said Yeh. "It gives me a chance to learn about other cultures." A New York Times report said the underlying problem for all three governments is the oldest one in diplomacy: how the international community can manage the ambitions of a rising power—and there has never been a rising power quite like China. Li said he believes China is putting big dollars into its military because it is still a

"In previous years, China has focused so much on problems of the land," said Li. "Now it is changing direction and wants to be one of the powers in the Pacific."

Li said he believes China and the United States needs to put more effort into mutual understanding through cultural and educational programs. "Both sides need better understanding of each other and

foreign policy decisions, said Li. "We need to look for solutions from ourselves, not Washington or Beijing, but through our own efforts."

Cross country team to compete in first invitational tournament By Mike Gustafson

Staff Writer Graduate assistant Brian Callaway dl make his coaching debut as the men's and women's cross country coach Sept.9, when the teams go to the Oklahoma Christian Triangular meet in Oklahoma City. Brian Callaway, filling in for long-time coach Paul Parent who is recovering from heart surgery, thinks this year's team has a lot of potential. "We have a very talented team and we are looking forward to a good finish," he said."Most of all, I want everyone to know that this is Parents's team, I am glad that he had enough faith in me to take over as coach." The men's team has a chance of winning the Lone Star Conference because of an experienced group of upper classmen, said Callaway. Quendell Miller, a stand-out junior from Moore, finished seventh in the league meet to earn All-LSC honors and had five top 10 finishes in 1994. Darnell Jeffries, a junior from Moore, had five top 12 placings last year for the Bronchos, who won two meets during the season. Shawn Johnson, a senior from

Duncan, and Josh Gingrich, a sophomore from Moore, each had a number of top 20 finishes last season. Newcomers Frank Simon, a sophomore from Oklahoma City, and Abel Kahuni, a sophomore from Zimbabwe, are expected to make a big impact on the team, said Callaway. Simon was a junior college cross country All-American at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas last year and Kahuni was a mid-season transfer to UCO. Kahuni qualified for both the NCAA Division II indoor and outdoor national meets last year in the 800-meter dash and should be even more of a threat in cross country this fall. The Lady Bronchos are

expected to do well, but are young and inexperienced. The women's team finished fifth in the LSC last year, said Callaway. Kate Jenkins, a sophomore from Dale City, Va., had a wonderful rookie season last year. She had five top five finishes, won two meets, and earned All-LSC honors with a t‘POW.W4J, fifth-place league finish. Jenkins woox< tryor ,:, is also expected to return to the national finals for the second straight year, said Callaway.

Three Bronchos rush for century mark By Scott Moore Sports Writer In 1986, Eddie Goodlow, Reggie Smith and John Sterling each rushed for over 100 yards in a Central Oklahoma victory over Eastern Washington. Nearly 10 years later, three Bronchos duplicated that feat by rushing for over 100 yards apiece in a 27-0 victory over Mesa State Sept. 2 at Grand Junction Colo. in the season opener for both teams Jubarko Gains led the way with 146 yards on 15 attempts while Tyrone Baker had 119 yards on 14 carries and Zack Leonard had 103 yards on 16 attempts. Baker is the only one of the three with Broncho playing

Leonard transferred from Northeastern Oklahoma Junior College and played for their national runner-up squad last season while Gains is a transfer from Pittsburgh State (Kan.). With the victory, UCO extends its record over nonconference foes to 14-1 in the last four years. The Bronchos look to increase that record in this Saturday's 7 p.m. nonconference clash with Southwestern at Wantland Stadium. UCO owns a dominating 48-19-3 record in the series with the Bulldogs and have won the last three contests including last year's 38-6 victory at Weatherford.

Alexander Astin, director of UCLA's Higher Education Research Institute, said his agency's annual survey of about 300,000 incoming college freshmen has found that in recent years, students increasingly are interested in courses dealing with quality-of-life issues. "It tells us that students are interested in things outside themselves, in society and community action, in environmental concerns and helping people in need,"

*Certain exclusions apply. Available in most areas.

Students at Florida State University are drawn to courses that make them think in new ways, says Elisabeth Muhlenfeld, dean of undergraduate studies. "We have a course called `Death and Dying' that fills up very quickly, and so do our Black Studies courses," she says. "The reason these fill is that they are intriguing topics offered in only one section." "Human Sexuality" also is a big draw at the University of Illinois, as is "Drug Use and Abuse." At Boston University, "The History of American Humor" is a big favorite. But by far the most sought-after seats are those in lectures taught by visiting professor Elie Wiesel, a 1986

Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Wiesel has devoted his life to describing the horrors he witnessed during the Holocaust. "Courses taught by Elie Wiesel fill up a year before they're held," says spokeswoman Kirsten Lewis. Educators also say courses that take advantage of new technology are attracting crowds. "Students really enjoy the incorporation of technology into some of our more traditional courses," says Sally Bryant, assistant director at the division of undergraduate services at Arizona State University. Another hot course at Arizona State is its Discovery Tour, in which tenured professors take turns to explain to freshmen some cutting-edge research

taking place at the university . Students'' quest for understanding has created a demand for courses in race and gender issues. "Back in the '60s and '70s, St. Mary's was a center of student activism. After that period of activism, the ethnic focus faded away," says Gerald Poyo, associate professor of history. "When I came to St. Mary's three years ago and offered this course, I was surprised at the response. A lot of students 'have a rising ethnic consciousness. The debates of today about immigration and affirmative action are making students come alive again," says Poyo. Although some non-Hispanic. students enroll, Poyo says the course mainly draws Latinos,

who make up about 60 percent of the university's student body of 4,000. Personal interest helps make "Marriage and Family Relationships" a top course at Louisiana State University and A&M College in Baton Rouge. "This probably is the single most sought-after class. One student was trying for four semesters to get into this course," says spokesman Jim Crain. The course, which is taught in four sections of 150 students, brings together single and married individuals to discuss how families can handle real-life situations.

Romancing the novel with early writers By Susan Reger Staff Writer

Taking a sip of wine as she turns the page, the student is eager to find out if Jay Gatsby can buy back the love of Daisy Faye. Her bedside table is stacked with The Sun Also Rises, The Moveable Feast and Tender is the Night. She is one of 20 students attending one of the newest creative studies classes called "Fitzgerald, Hemingway and the Ex-patriates," taught by Dr. Lynette Wert, chairperson of the creative studies department. The end of World War I and the beginning of Prohibition marked a period when many American artists were seduced by the cafe life and open style of living available in Paris, said Wert. The coursework centers around Paris in the 1920s— from fashion to art to fine wines, with a major focus on American writers—F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, who had left America for life on the shores of the Parisian Left Bank, she said. Although they were known as expatriates because of their flight from America, they were not expatriates in the literal sense, said Wert, who defines an

The literary world was due for changes from the flowery, overdone writing and repressed Victorian influences of the last 200 years. —Dr. Lynette Wert Creative Studies Chair expatriate as one who denounces citizenship and leaves home forever. "Paris in the 1920s was an inexpensive place to live, which was another attraction to these writers who did not make a great deal of money at that time," said Wert. Wert said one third of the generation of artists then was alcoholics, whose deaths were related to excess.

"These artists ate badly and lived in run-down dwellings, but spent their money freely on a fine bottle of wine or a quality piece of art, said Wert. "They repudiated America and were cynical with a sense of ironic detachment." Wert said the writers had little connection to family and wrote of pain, death and defeat, which were portrayed in both setting and story characters.

The books of Fitzgerald and Hemingway are filled with images of flappers, bootleggers, and jazz-filled cafes, she said. "The literary world was due for changes from the flowery, overdone writing and repressed Victorian influences of the last 200 years," said Wert. These writers set the ground rules for the rest of the century by changing the writing

emphasis to a chronicling of the times, vivid use of detail, and using realism in characters and setting, she said. Wert said the stock market' crash was part of the reason the expatriate period came to an end. A few artists remained abroad, but most eventually returned to America. "It is amazing how many references are made today to Hemingway and other writers of this period, Wert said. "These were the lovers of intrigue, scheme, scandal, complexity and moral victories."

BSA offers night out for singles

t won't be hosted by Jim Lange, but UCO's Black Student Association's (BSA) version of "The Dating Game" will keep in tradition with the original by matching up two strangers and sending them on a date. The BSA is inviting everyone from campus and surrounding universities to join in their 1995 Singles Convention, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Sept. 8 in the University Center Ballroom. Door prizes such as Tshirts and movie and dinner certificates will be awarded. Jazz music will play in one room to serve as a place for mingling among the students, and another room will have dance music provided by a disc jockey. The convention will be laid back, said Jamie Lynn Nichols, vice president of the BSA. Because UCO is a commuter college, students don't have many opportunities to meet new people, said Nichols. "We (BSA) thought a big event would be a good way to let people know we're on campus and give everyone a chance to meet more students," she said. Profits from the event will benefit the BSA's scholarship and mentor program funds. The group hopes to fill the ballroom to its capacity of 350 people. . Tickets are available through the Multicultural Student Association office in Room 116 of Thatcher Hall. They are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. The price of a ticket includes food and chances at door prizes. ,k)

Acupuncture: A prickly, (w)hole-ly experience By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

•

An ancient Chinese healing practice called acupuncture is gaining popularity in America. Acupuncture, from the latin words acus (needle) and punctio (puncture), is the stimulation of nerves through points on the surface of the skin. The practice is based on the popular Yin-Yang symbol, said to have been created in 3000 B.C., which is often seen on jewelry and clothing in America. Yin, which is dark, and Yang, which is light, represent the opposites which must exist side by side to maintain perfect balance. Like the balance between the sun and moon and the male and female, the body too must maintain a balance for good health. "The basic philosophy of the Chinese is that the body is a whole intricate unit; it all flows together," said Dr. Bruce J. Heng, a chiropractor in Edmond. Heng, who received a master's degree in adult education from UCO in 1990, is a certified acupuncturist from the Fellowship of the Acupuncture Society of America. Heng described the human body and its operations in terms of mechanical parts. "We have electrical energy in us. For example, your brain is a battery and your heart is a generator. "Every time your heart beats, it produces energy. This energy

People are looking for alternative ways of treating conditions or symptoms rather than just popping a pill. —Dr. Bruce J. Heng Edmond chiropractor flow maintains the body's healthy balance," he said. "If the flow of energy to a particular organ is disrupted, the organ will not perform properly, causing problems to arise with the organ," said Heng. An acupuncturist attempts to send energy to an area by stimulating nerve points on the skin's surface, using needles or low-voltage electricity. The restoring of energy allows the area to function normally and regain balance in the body, said Heng. Speaking from pexsonal experience, Heng said he has found that acupuncture is not traumatic to the body. As opposed to medication,

where the body has to react to a foreign substance, the body accepts acupuncture easily, he said. Heng said he often uses acupuncture in his chiropractic practice to treat soft tissue injuries and chronic conditions such as arthritis. If acupuncture is to be successful with a patient, it will produce results within two to three weeks, he said. The needles are only two inches long and as thin as a strand of hair, but Heng still finds that people are intimidated by needles. Because of people's fear of AIDS and hepatitis, Heng said he offers to treat his patients via NNW

electrical stimulation or the use of disposable needles. Both procedures are painless, but most of his patients prefer electronic acupuncture because it is non-piercing. "It's just as effective and you don't have to be as precise when stimulating the nerve point," he said. Heng said the growing acceptance of acupuncture is because "people are looking for alternative ways of treating conditions or symptoms rather than just popping a pill." There are some health problems associated with acupuncture, however, and some of the more common ones are collapsed lungs and punctured

kidneys and bladders. Heng said he believes those things occur because the acupuncturist does not have proper training or experience. Some doctors have expressed concern about the hygienic aspect of needles being used on more than one person, possibly spreading disease. But Heng is quick to point out that the practice of recycling needles may soon be a thing of the past. "That form of acupuncture (using needles and cleaning them after use) is going away because of AIDS and hepatitis," he said. The average cost for acupuncture treatment in the Edmond and Oklahoma City areas is $20-$40 per session. Most patients require nine to 12 sessions, said Heng. Oklahoma does not require a license for those who perform acupuncture.

With the new movie Desperado on the big screen, I thought it appropriate to take a look at its predecessor, El Mariachi.

Set in a small town in Mexico, El Mariachi is the story of a young musician mistaken for a vengeful member of the local organized crime ring. The movie combines humor, love, suspense, drama and nonstop action, making it an amazing film. It becomes even more amazing when you consider that the film was shot on a $7,000budget and that director/ producer Robert Rodriguez used mostly friends and family members to fill the cast. Rodriguez is obviously talented, but he doesn't go overboard with the effects. As a result, the movie never gets old

or slows down. For example, take the growing love between the mariachi and Domino, a bar owner. The audience knows they are in love but Rodriguez doesn't kill the effect by putting in a big love scene. Another reason the film is so good is that Rodriguez really knows how to manipulate the audience. Have you ever sat through a movie where the audience is always one step ahead of the film? Then, when the moment of suspense or drama arrives, the audience is screaming "Get it over with!" because it already knows what is about to happen? In El Mariachi, however, the audieftce is totally in the filmmaker's hands. The suspense tactics work, the drama feels real and the fear and anger in the faces of the characters are evident.

Rodriguez also grabs the audience's attention with his innovative and brilliant camera work. By simply using the camera and no dialogue, Rodriguez completely controls the audience's emotions. El Mariachi leaves the audience wanting more when the movie is over as it has a wellthought-out and entertaining plot. It is ironic that a low-budget film, shot in a single location, is more effective than most films with multi-million-dollar budgets. Considering this, I'm curious as to how the "new and improved" version, Desperado— which uses big stars and big money—will hold up to the original. I won't say until I've seen it, but Desperado will have to do something special to top E/ Mariachi.
