UCO to replace health insurance company Jan. 1

By Roy Howe Staff Writer

'Bert and Ernie' pair to split up WASHINGTON (AP) — It's been a long, lonely summer for Mark Shields, the pundit-partner David Gergen ditched for a White House gig. Come Labor Day and maybe even Halloween, says Shields, "I'll still be at the singles bar."

The Democratic columnist has been matched with a string of aspiring commentators on PBS' "MacNeil-Lehrer NewsHour" since Memorial Day weekend.

That's when the Clinton administration offered Gergen a job as White House counselor and broke up a commentary team often compared to another PBS pair, Bert and Ernie.

Gergen & Shields' six-year run took them through three presidents, two national elections, four party conventions and a two-year separation.

The company carrying health insurance for full-time employees at the University of Central Oklahoma will be replaced Jan. 1.

MassMutual and GroupAmerica will supersede American Fidelity Assurance who has been with the university for the past seven years.

This move affects the health benefits of

940 full-time employees at the University of Central Oklahoma.

In addition, the switch will affect more than 2,000 employees from the other five regional colleges governed by the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges.

Jeanette Patton, UCO employee benefits specialist, said the move to another insurance company "has nothing to do with service."

"It's strictly economics and flexibility,"

she said. "We're just trying to get as much as we can for our dollars."

Patton said that all of the rates were not available at the time The Vista went to print, but said the deductible for the health insurance will decrease $50.

Full-time employees at UCO will see a few new core and optional benefits with the new companies, but the basic coverage will not vary with much significance.

FCC asked to look at Cable (AP) -- General Richard Blumenthal filed petitions Wednesday, the first day complaints could be filed, asking the FCC to review the rates established by each of his state's cable franchises.

"Incredibly, rates are going up in many cable systems across the state," Blumenthal said.

"The FCC should take a close look at the rates that are being charged and at their own regulations to make sure that federal law is being implemented as intended by Congress."

Birds return from extinction LONDON (AP) — The sea eagles which were hunted to extinction to satisfy Victorian collectors are slowly returning to the coastal skies of western Scotland.

The sea eagle, with a wingspan of up to 11 feet, is one of Britain's rarest breeding birds. It is similar to the American bald eagle, the national emblem of the United States.

Gil invited members of the Society for Scientific Study of Sex (Quad S) and the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors & Therapists to be delegates, Dr. Irving said.

"I hope also that the future will allow more interchange of faculty, Chinese to America and Americans to China. I hope we can do a lot more cooperative research, so what we're really doing is starting the groundwork for a future exchange effort V See Irving Page 18

Baby-sitting' service not a government thing What kind of thing is this?

A motorist, shot while attending Eskimo Joe's anniversary party, sues the city of Stillwater, alleging officials did not warn him of the danger.

Oh, really.

Since when does any rational, conscious adult need to be warned that planet Earth is an unpredictable and dangerous place? And even so, we are assaulted daily by newspaper headlines and lead television news stories that give ample evidence of that danger and unpredictability.

People get shot. They die in traffic accidents. Trains run over them. They overdose on drugs. They drown. They get burned, get stabbed, get diseases. Bombs and mortar rounds drop on them from the skies. Floods, tornadoes, avalanches, hurricanes and earthquakes claim lives every year.

How much warning does one need?

The sad truth is Americans have abandoned the tenets of independence and self-sufficiency. They have allowed federal, state and local governments, under the guises of protection and service, to define what morality, patriotism and family values should be.

They actually believe, however foolishly, that the government can and will take care of them. When the government fails, they whine and cry foul, and try to get money for compensation in another belief that the government courts will take care of them. In so doing, they help make fools of us all.

Government agencies cannot be their citizens' baby sitter, watching them every moment, nor would most of us want them to be. We are each responsible for our own well-being, just as we are each accountable for our own actions. When our actions place us in danger — when we face the world's unpredictable nature — we have only ourselves to blame, and only ourselves to escape that danger.

It's not a government thing. It's a people thing. It's an individual thing.

In the Sept. 2 of The Vista, a headline may have caused some

confusion. The headline read Math/S cience Dean to marry Physical Plant director. The term physical plant director was used to describe Don Powers as a director at the physical plant, but was not to be confused with Dave McClellan, the UCO Physical Plant director. Don Powers is the director of safety and environmental management at the physical plant.

Student Association director asks for change

C

hange is the new catch phrase of the '90s and the Black Student Association must not be the exception.

In our time where we as a nation have reached a pinnacle in our society where for the first time a generation will start off worse than their parents.

As an African-American living in this "new world" we see in our communities the highest unemployment rate, the highest suicide rate among its youths, and lastly a judiciary and prison system that if looked at rationally you can not help but notice a sea of black people surrounded by land whose natives look on with amused cnn-

tempt and pity.

Each and every one of us have a responsibility that we either have yet to recognize or simply have ignored. We as individuals must be the instruments of change. We cannot longer relegate in the past nor can we sit idly by as another youth decides to choose dope over hope. We can no longer pray for change until we ourselves change.

To put it simply: don't complain about the course of the march unless you're in it.

I am asking that you become a part of the legacy that will be remembered as the catalyst of change. I am asking that each and every individual reading this ar-

ticle join me, and side by side we as a group will once again assume the role of speaking for the voices that do not have one.

In closing I would like to impart with you words of wisdom from James Baldwin: "But in our time as in every time the impossible is the least that one can demand, after all one is emboldened by the spectacle of human history in general, and an American Negro history in particular, for it testifies to nothing less than the perpetual achievement of the impossible.

—Robert Lee Page Executive Director, Black Student Association

Graphic Communications Society rejuvenates club

By Carol Cole Mills

Staff Writer The Graphic Communications Society (GCS) invites University of Central Oklahoma students to participate in the newly revitalized club.

Dr. Jim Watson, UCO professor and president of the club, said the club has been streamlined to help more students become involved. One of the ways that is being accomplished is by lowering the dues to $20 annually for students.

Watson said the club's vision is to provide name speakers giving insights to their creative problem solving abilities and local artists and writers in how-to and panel discussions about the specifics of working in this market.

GCS members will receive three design magazines free and a GCS directory featuring members, sponsors and suppliers.

Upcoming programs will include the Oct. 14 Illustrator Forum featuring three nationally known, Oklahoma-based illustrators and an artist representative.

Illustrators to speak include

Cameron Eagle and Mike Wimmer.

The club has commitments from Micheal Manwaring for the November meeti ng, McRay Magleby for January and Joe Duffy in

April.

"GCS is one of the few clubs that is structured to include both student and area professional members," said Watson. "We see that as a real advantage for the

students — to be able to have contact with working professionals in their fields."

Meetings will be held at the City Arts Center on the Oklahoma City state fairgrounds. GCS mem-

hers are admitted free, and the charge is $15 for non-members.

To join GCS , contact Watson at X 5212. For more information on programs, call the GCS Hotline, 948-6405.

Educational conference set for fall University of Central Oklahoma administrators and faculty are invited to submit presentations for an international education conference. Entries will be accepted through Sept. 30.

The International Education Industry Conference on Harmonization of Industry-Sector Voluntary Standards and the Impact of Education and Training will be held for the first time Dec. 8-11. It will be held at the Hotel Hilton Palacio Del Rio in San Antonio.

Others invited to attend include education policy-markers, vocational educators, trainers, business and industry leaders.

The inaugural conference will address processes for developing and implementing voluntary industry-sectors standards; the harmonization of voluntary standards in the United States, Canada and Mexico; the education industry sector's role in this effort; and the impact for the trilateral harmonization of voluntary standards.

"This information will be essential for keeping curricula and programs up-to-date and will result in creating a global sensitivity to the implications for the education and training sector in the standardization and harmonization processes," said F. Leroy Walser, director of the Center on Standards and Quality at the University of Oklahoma.

The conference is sponsored by the Center on Standards and Quality at OU. For more information, call Walser or Twana Hobbs, 1(800)-522-0772, Ext. 1711.

Author to visit campus, host workshops Sept. 10

By Steve Sager Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma will offer a series of three workshops Sept. 10 hosted by Dr. Lynn Quitman Troyka.

The workshops will be entitled "Relations Between Reading and Writing in the Composing Process," and will demonstrate how "the process of making meaning from a page of print needs to be an integral part of the composing process," said Troyka.

Troyka said, "My theoretical constructs are drawn from psycho linguistics," a branch of linguistics that draws upon psychological theory.

Troyka is the senior research associate for the City University of New York.

She has also been the chair of the Conference on College Com-

position and Communication, chair of the college section of the National Council of Teachers of English and chair of the division of teaching and writing for the Modern Language Association.

Most students though should remember her name from their freshman English book if they took it at UCO. Troyka's book is used in all freshman level English courses at UCO said Dr. Sandra Mayfield, chair of the English Department.

"We're really excited she's coming," said Mayfield, "she's a pretty big wheel in college English.

The three sessions will take place at 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 am. There will also be a ro undtable discussion from 2-3 p.m., a reception at 3:15 in the Will Rogers Room and a talk on critical thinking in the teaching of writing at 3:45 p.m.

Dr. David Webb, Dr. James Baker, Dr. Dianne Kremm, graduate assistant Brad Duren and Herman Fullgraf admire a copy of Kremm's book "The Lion of the South." A

reception was held last week to honorKremm and her husband who recently had their book about General Thomas A. Hindman published. (Photo by Daniel Smith)

Invasion of ants returns to plague state Capitol building OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The pharaoh ants are back at the state Capitol.

After a five-year absence. the ants have invaded every floor of the Capitol building, "I have not seen any but I know they're all over the fourth floor," said Paula Hearn, secretary of administration. "I've heard this from (Clerk) Larry Warden on the House side. It's just like, 'They're back.' " Exterminator Harold Sheer got rid of the ants in 1988, and the current exterminator does not seem to be able to smite the pests, Ms. Heam said.

"Harold is the only one that I know of that really specializes in ants," she said. 'We have alerted our guy and said, 'Look, you've got to do something besides spray because ants are a different animal.' " She said if the state's current exterminating contractor cannot get rid of the ants, "we are certainly not above going out and doing something supplemental because ants are so hard to get rid of. –

Christ returns as Ms. Jesus in college professor's new book .

JACKSON, Miss, (AP) — Baptist preacher turned college professor Clayton Sullivan has written a book about a surprising Second Coming — Jesus returns as a woman, "Jesus and the Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church," has a female Christ returning to earth in the company of a female Simon Peter, one of the key disciples in the Bible. They come to heap prosperity on members of a black church in rural Mississippi during the peak of the 1960's civil rights struggle.

Sullivan, a religion and philosophy professor at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, says casting Jesus as a woman came from a dream his wife Mae had.

The 62-year-old author says he chose a black congregation as a way of showing how minorities are usually excluded from the economic mainstream.

Sullivan said the movie rights to the book have been bought

by American Filmworks, in Hollywood, and there has been discussion about of a theater production.

Organizations from the area universities and communities are being solicited to get involved in Oklapalooza '93, an outdoor concert and festival promoting awareness for animal shelters.

Oklapalooza, Cause for Paws, will be held from noon to 8 p.m., Sept. 12 at the Duck Pond in Norman on the University of Oklahoma campus.

The Raunchy Katts, house band for 100.5 FM KATT, set up the festival.

"So many people are getting on the band wagon today for all these benefits and all these causes," said

Dan the Man, Raunchy Katts drummer and 100.5 FM KATT radio personality. "The Raunchy Katts and a band called Sweet Envie, well, we wanted to do something to help the animals, but we didn't want to do it in the same way."

In addition to a concert featuring seven local bands, Oklapalooza will include comedians, fencing displays, bike displays and hot air balloons, to name a few.

"And it's all free," said Dan. "We wanted to create public awareness for Oklahoma's animal shelters."

Journalism department offers students advisement-enrollment sessions Sept. 28, 29 UCO Journalism majors will take part in the department's first advisement-enrollment sessions, meeting with faculty members Sept. 28 and 29.

The Journalism Department scheduled the sessions as a preliminary to enrollment for Spring, 1994, semester, said Dr. Terry Clark, chairman.

Classes will be dismissed during both mornings, and students will be required to sign up to attend one of the sessions. Roll will be taken from the sign-ups. The sign-up forms will be passed out during classes in the next few weeks. The only students exempt from the sessions are graduating

seniors.

The advisement session will be held in Rooms 211-214 of the Communication Building, and students will meet with professors in their majors. Career advisement will also be available during those times, Clark said.

"The Journalism faculty voted unanimously to have the session, because we believe it will directly benefit every student. We've scheduled it for two days so that everyone may attend," he said.

"This is meant to supplement— not replace—the work of UCO' s enrollment advisors. With increased enrollment, they are swamped. The journalism faculty

Menopause society addresses 'fighting words' at conference SAN DIEGO (AP) — Menopause has become more than a health issue. It is a political one. And feminists say the way menopause is treated says a lot about society and how it deals with women and their bodies.

"We're trying to bring people together and get them to communicate about this thing that women universally experience," said Dr. Wulf Utian, of the University MacDonald Womens Hospital in Cleveland, "And part of that involves getting the doctors to stop poohpoohing the concerns that women have, and getting the therapists to acknowledge there might be some medical issues," said Utian, who founded the North American Menopause Society four years ago.

During menopause, some women experience hot flashes, vaginal dryness, or emotional changes. Others do not.

But menopause also has a reputation for causing violent mood swings, depression or the loss of sexual desire. And that's just not the ease, both doctors and therapists insisted.

When Dr. Fred Naltolin, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine, stood up to insist menopause was a "deficiency disease" and nothing more, the room exploded in groans.

"Those are fighting words to many women," said Marcha Flint, anthropology professor at Montclair State College in Upper Montclair, `N.J. Doctors should carefully choose the terminology they use, she said. Women should not be made to feel one-third of their lives are nothing more than a disorder or disease.

ment for Oklapalooza.

"We hope to get Amnesty International and Greenpeace out there," Dan said. "Actually, we do encourage clubs from UCO. We are strongly encouraging that this is a city wide event."

Clubs interested in getting involved can contact Dan the Man or the Blade Runner, vocalist and 100.5 KATT radio personality, at the KATT. Numbers to call are 848-0100 or 460-KATT. Clubs must supply their own tables and vendors mus t meet certain requirements.

Though donations are not being solicited, people can bring canned pet foods and pet supplies to donate to the area animal shelters.

The shelters will be represented.

Copies of the tentative Spring schedule are already available on the department bulletin board, A frequency chart of when courses are offered is also available, and students are urged to pick one as they plan their future enrollments.

Refreshments will be available during the sessions. More details will be announced in classes in the next few weeks.

Baptist Student Union honors late UCO student with program

By Dayna Poarch Student Writer Promise, a music/drama group from the Baptist Student Union, will perform a program based on the life of Fronie Brennan.

Brennan was a University of Central Oklahoma student who was killed in a head-on collision last January.

Promise will use drama, contemporary Christian music and slides to show the impact of one person's life, said Charles Lillard, BSU director.

Lillard said he hopes that telling Brennan' s story will help people think about the purpose of life.

"Her story is unique because her story was short. Her college years were her last years," Lillard said.

The script, written by Lillard, focuses on the time Brennan attended UCO. Slides of the person portraying Brennan will be shown, and music selected by Marcy Free, Promise student director, will be performed by the group.

"I hope the program makes people realize the impact their lives have on other people," said Free.

Promise will begin performing in October in churches in the metropolitan area. They will perform the same program during the'spring semester.

Brennan, 24, and an Edmond teenager were killed when their cars collided on a road north of Edmond. The teenager was drag racing at the time of the collision.

For more information about Promise, contact the Baptist Student Union at 341-1232.

UCO's MBA program largest in state

Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma's Master of Business Administration had the largest program in the state during 199293. More than 600 students were enrolled, which is more than a 4 percent increase in enrollment over 91-92.

Due to the increase in graduate enrollment, UCO appointed Gloria Auth as full-time director of the program in January 1993. Prior to that, Auth was an undergraduate advisor for 12 years.

"The job market is competitive today. Students find that they need an advanced degree to enhance their career opportunities," said Auth.

"The program offers more flexibility than before. Students can attend full-time or part-time and can take day or evening classes," said Auth.

Students do not have to have a bachelor's degree in business to

"Students with no business background used to have to take 39 hours of foundation courses,

but now they only have to take 24," said Auth.

Students can enroll in courses from accounting, economics, finance, management, decision sciences, marketing and general business.

The program requires 36-60 hours of graduate study depending on the undergraduate's credit hours.

Students must have a bachelor' s degree from an accredited college or university to be admitted to the graduate college. Admission is based on academic records, and students are required to take the Graduate Management's Admission Test (GMAT).

UCO has the only business school in the state that is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.

Bronchos bust Mavericks in opener

By Scott Moore Student writer

For a season opener you really couldn't have asked for much more.

With a solid defensive effort and a potent rushing attack, the University of Central Oklahoma football team opened it's 1993 campaign with a decisive 37-7 triumph on the road Saturday night against the Mesa State Mavericks.

"It was a great win for us, especially because we were able to overcome some adversity early on," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. "I was extremely proud of the way our offensive line, as young as they are, was able to control the line of scrimmage."

The victory sends the Bronchos into next weeks home opener versus Fort Hays State with a 1-0 mark. UCO will kickoff against the Tigers at 7 p.m. at Wantland Stadium.

That young offensive line, with three sophomores and one redshirt freshman starting, paved the way for an offensive thrust that gained 418 total yards and picked up 23 first downs. AllAmerica candidates Tyrone Jones and Glenn Starks both had 100-yard-plus days. Starks gained 131 yards on 22 carries and Jones picked up 113 yards on 26 attempts. Both Tailbacks

scored one touchdown each.

The Broncho defense, with only five returning starters, held Mesa St. to only 198 total yards.

The Mavericks were never able to establish a running game and could generate only 48 yards on the ground.

Mesa St. struck first in the contest when junior Fullback Darin Robidoux scored on a 1yard run. Then UCO got on the board when senior Quarterback Terry Payne scored from 1 yard out. Chris Petterson's extra point was blocked but he made up for it late in the first half with a 37-yard field goal to give the Bronchos a slim 9-7 halftime advantage.

The second half belonged to UCO. Starks' 3-yard run in the third quarter set the pace for the UCO blowout. A 1-yard run by Jones and a 20-yard burst by Joe Aska made the score 30-7. Junior Elton Rhoades' 27-yard interception return for a touchdown closed out the scoring.

Despite the victory, there were a few areas of concern.

The downside: 14 penalties for 139 yards; three lost He's a winner fumbles, all inside Mesa's 15 yard line and two possible UCO quarterback Terry Payne, shown here tossing a pass in season-ending injuries to starting practice, made a successful starting debut in the Bronchos center Flo Gonzales and back-up 37-7 win over Mesa State on Saturday.

Judge slaps evangelist Tatu highlights Great EscApe with $81,742 in fines at city zoo DALLAS (AP) — Televi- Wright said, the documents are sion evangelist Robert Tilton avoided jail but was slapped with $81,742 in fines Friday after sending a convoy of trucks and vans full of documents to the attorney of a woman suing him for $50 million.

Although Tilton met Friday's deadline for handing over the papers, state District Judge Eric Moye hit him with the sanctions for taking so long.

The documents were due a year ago, Moye said.

Tilton was smiling as he left the courtroom, apparently happy that he avoided a contempt of court order and jail time.

"I was always prepared to go to jail. I came prepared to go to jail today. But, thank God, I'm not going to jail, I'm going home."

The sanctions were sought by attorney Tony Wright, who is representing the widow of a former member of Tilton's Word of Faith World Outreach Church.

"This is the perfect case where they ought to be sanctioned severely," Wright said.

"They costme $150,000 in time in 15 months."

And by waiting so long,

almost worthless as the lawsuit against Tilton is scheduled for trial in 30 days.

"Who knows what's in there," Wright said of the five moving vans and other trucks that filled his office parking lot. "It's kind of like the needle and the haystack, and we've got several haystacks. ... Our problem is that if we find something in 25 days that leads to other information, how are we going to get it and use it?"

Wright is representing Norma Smith, who has accused Tilton of soliciting money from her husband after he had died.

She claims she was harassed and suffered intentionally inflicted emotional distress.

Although Tilton had vowed to never surrender the papers, his attorney, Bob Wellenberger, said Tilton changed his mind after church members convinced him that "it's in the best interest of the church if he comply."

Tilton has for mon ths fought Moye's order to relinquish the documents, which include identities of those who claimed miracle healings on Tilton's television program.

See him through the mist, poised regally, watching every move.

His name is Tatu and he is free to roam in meadows, clearings and rest in the shade of a tropical forest.

Tatu, a Western Lowland gorilla, is the Hillside Troop silverback at the Oklahoma City Zoo's newest exhibit, Great EscApe. Since its opening on July 31, response to the new primate exhibit has been overwhelming.

"Everybody loves it," reported zoo keeper, Janet Waird.

Great EscApe contains three different species of primates: Western Lowland gorillas, (like Tatu), Sumatran orangutans and chimpanzees.

The apes' new habitat , a simulated tropical foprest, spreads three and one-half acres, complete with clearings meadows and streams. The new environment is a far cry from the old exhibit that

previously housed the apes.

"Before it was small, with no natural trees" said Janet Waird.

The apes now have the ability to forge for their own food from the watermelon,squash and other vegetables and fruits planted in the exhibit.

Within the gorilla center, visitors can get within one and onehalf inches of gorillas, separated by layers of safety glass.

"They are watching me," said seven year old Chris Lee. Available are many educational facts that explain primate anatomy, behavior and show the differences between the great apes. An activity loop where children can climb

and swing like a bunch of monkeys has also been installed.

"I am so impressed" said visitor Jody Marione "They ought to do the whole zoo over."

According to public relations director, Tara Henson , plans for a natural environment large cat exhibit are expected to begin some time in October.

The Oklahoma City Zoo is open daily 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Exhibit buildings close at 5:45 p.m.

Visitors may remain on grounds until dusk.

UCO offers Fulbright, Rhodes scholarships

By Michelle Peller Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma is once again offering the Fulbright and Rhodes Scholarships to students for the 1994-95 year.

Both scholarships have many benefits, according to Dr. S. Heit, Fulbright program advisor. Heit said that both President Clinton and Senator Boren are Rhodes Scholars.

The deadline for the Fulbright Scholarship application is Oct. 15, 1993 while the Rhodes Scholarship application is due Oct. 18.

The Fulbright and Rhodes Scholarships honor outstanding students by providin,g, them with a quality graduate study in another country.

The Fulbright grant is offered for graduate study abroad and for professional training in the creative and performing arts.

Heit said 909 grants are available worldwide but approximately 600 grants will be awarded to U.S. citizens to study in a variety of fields in more than 100 countries.

The competition is for all U.S. citizens who have attained a bachelor's degree (or its equivalent) by next June and are fluent in

done academic work at college or university.

The final 32 scholars will be judged upon literary and scholastic attainments; fondness for and sports activity; truth, courage, dedication, compassion, kindliness, unselfishness; character; morality and fellowship.

The Scholars need to be physically, intellectually and morally capable of leadership, said Heit.

"Rhodes is not open to everyone. The highest form is Rhodes.

It's a very prestigious award, prestigious that one can get," said Heit.

Once chosen, the candidates are then assigned to selection committees throughout the country, which is then taken to a District Committee.

"In this district there is Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma," Heit said.

The best qualified students are then chosen by this committee. In this, the personal interview plays an important role according to Heit.

To his knowledge, no one from UCO has gone in the past, he said.

"It's demanding but it's an honor, " said Dr. S. Heit.

All seniors or graduate students are encouraged to apply for these scholarships. For more informadon or applications, contact Heit in LA 205-B.

Each candidate must be unmarried U.S. citizens, 18 or over but not yet 24 on Oct. 1 in the year of application.

Candidates are eligible to enter the competition either in the state in which they are legally resident or in the state in which they have received two or more years of college or university training.

Couple gets hitched on cattle drive 99 ENID, Okla. (AP) — With the longhorn cattle bedded down for the night, cowhand Darrel Arrington and Karen Curtis got hitched in a prairie wedding on the Chisholm Trail Centennial Cattle Drive.

Friends and relatives were brought in on horse-drawn coaches and wagons and about 20 of the cowhands taking part in the drive left camp to watch Monday night's wedding.

About 100 people attended the brief outdoor ceremony southeast of Enid.

Bosnians cheer for water,lights SARAJEVO, BosniaHerzegovina (AP) — A splash of running water and the intermittent glow of electric lights are creating a bit of cheer in Sarajevo after a hot summer of deprivation.

But with politicians blustering about more war as a second winter approaches, no one thinks the relatively good times will last.

The coming winter "will be more difficult than last winter, for sure," said Muhamed Zlatar, the city official trying to make sense of Sarajevo's torn electrical system and shattered water pipes.

"I am not an optimist at all."

Essential utilities have been a weapon of this war. Sarajevans burned all available trees, old furniture and parquet floors last winter. No one knows what has happened to the natural gas supply.

It's already too late to stockpile coal like Sarajevans used to do, Zlatar said. A Serb siege makes it difficult to bring anything into the city, let alone sufficient amounts of coal.

As they did last year, U.N. officials are warning of impending catastrophe in a war in which already up to 200,000 people are dead or missing and 2 million have been forced to flee their homes.

Fears that the fighting could drag on into the winter were sparked after peace talks in Geneva collapsed Wednesday over how much land the winning Serbs and Croats were willing to cede to the Muslim-led government.

After spending much of the summer with neither electricity or running water, a monthlong lull in fighting around Sarajevo has permitted some repairs. Every little hit of electricity and water is a pleasure.

—

Arrington' s brother played a piano on a grain wagon. The wedding cake and a cake with an iced map of the trail were served from another wagon.

Arrington and his bride rode on horseback to the site.

Arrington works on grain elevators, but he also has 16 wagons and usually is driving the

horsedrawn carriages for weddings and special events.

"We had talked about getting married and we said, 'Let's just do it on the drive, — Arrington said.

The honeymoon had to be postponed. The cattle drive to Caldwell, Kan., resumed Tuesday.

The Oklahoma Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Oklahoma will be moving to downtown Oklahoma City this week.

"We're excited to be increasing the University's out-reach to the Oklahoma business community," says S usan Urbach, director of the center. "We will be in the Journal Record building downtown in the middle of the Oklahoma City busi-

ness distrist."

The OSBDC, which is a part of the College of Business at UCO, serves businesses in Oklahoma City and surrounding cities from Moore to Stillwater.

It will be "open for business" on Sept. 10, said Urbach.

Urbach stressed that there still will be excellent internships available for UCO students at OSBDC that offer hands-on business experience.

The Nigh Institute will be expanding into the University Center space currently occupied by the OSBDC.

PRINCIPLES of SOUND RETIREMENT INVESTING

IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS EXPENSIVE, TRY PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RETIREMENT.

T

hink about supporting yourself for twenty-five, thirty years or longer in retirement. It might be the greatest financial test you'll ever face. Fortunately, you have one valuable asset in your favor. Time.

Time to take advantage of tax-deferral.

Time for your money to grow.

But starting early is key. Consider this: if you begin saving just $loo a month at age thirty, you can accumulate $172,109* by the time you reach age sixty-five.

Wait ten years and you'd need to set aside $219 a month to reach the same goal.

At TIAA - CREF, we not only understand the value of starting early, we can help make it possible—with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal service that spans 75 years.

Arafat continues to bargain with Palestinian leaders TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Yasser Arafat appeared poised Friday to win the approval of key Palestinian leaders for a landmark accord with Israel despite anger over his secret bargaining.

The Central Committee of Fatah, the PLO's backbone, was meeting for a second day Friday behind closed doors. Officials said a small minority of its 18 members remained opposed to the plan that would give Palestinians selfrule in the Israeli-occupied Gaza Strip and the West Bank town of Jericho.

Many members castigated Arafat for jumping over their heads to reach agreement with the Israelis, but only a few argued against the actual contents of the accord, PLO officials said. That indicated the PLO chairman eventually would get the backing he needs to continue with the peace process.

Israeli officials have said the accord could be signed within days. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said Friday the deal could be a catalyst for other talks with Syria, Jordan and Lebanon.

"We are very near to complete peace," he said after three-hour meeting with French President Francois Mitterrand. "It is the only way out for the Arabs, for us and for the world."

But violence was still the rule in some places.

Shiite Muslim guerrillas who oppose the 22-month-old Mideast peace process exchanged machine-gun and mortar fire with Israel's surrogate militia in south Lebanon.

No casualties were reported.

But the hostilities kept tension alive on the only active Arab-Israeli combat zone despite the optimistic climate.

In Gaza, the radical Muslim group Hamas — the Palestine Liberation Organization's main rival in the occupied territories — claimed responsibility for killing an Israeli soldier and wounding another Thursday in the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said that such "terrorism" wouldn' t affect the agreemen t with the PLO. Fundamentalist opponents of Israel-PLO peacemaking also clashed with Israeli troops Friday.

Israeli soldiers moved in after stones were hurled at their vehicles by youths emerging from the al-Qassam Mosque in Gaza.

Soldiers fired some shots over the heads of 200 protesters who shouted "we don't want peace."

The soldiers shouted back: "We don't want peace either."

In Lebanon, about 1,000 Palestinian refugees demonstrated against the accord in the southern

refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh, where about 70,000 people live.

They burned portraits of Arafat.

But in Jordan's Baqaa camp, home for 100,000 refugees, a call for a anti-peace demonstrations attracted only 400 protesters.

The Shrinking number of protesters suggested that more Palestinians are beginning to accept the limited opportunity offered to them after the initial outrage and

astonishment.

PLO officials said the heaviest criticism of Arafat in the Fatah meetings came from Central Committee member Abbas Zaki.

He objected to the deal for ignoring key issues such as Israeli settlements in the territories and the status of east Jerusalem, which the PLO wants as a capital of an independent Palestine eventually including all the occupied territo-

I silb

vuta—A. A

ries.

Zaki also complained that Palestinian leaders were embarrassed to find out about the deal through the press, without being informed

by Arafat beforehand.

After Fatah, Arafat must submit the accord for approval by the PLO Executive Committee and the Palestine National Council, or parliament in exile. Fatah and independent supporters of Arafat

make up the overwhelming majority in that parliament.

One top Fatah leader urged the Palestinians to accept the accord as "opening a new and important stage in their history."

Mahmoud Abbas told the Tunisian daily Al-Rai al-Aam in remarks published Friday that the deal would "give back to the Palestinians their identity, stability and homeland."

UCO business dean conducts management seminar in China

By Jojo Takyi-Micah Student Writer "The transition of the Chinese economy into a market assisted economy promises to be a major economic event of the last part of the 20th century." said Dr. Frank Wert. dean of the College of Business.

Wert recently returned from a three-week trip to the People's Republic of China. Wert said the trip, a collaboration with Oklahoma City and Haikou, was in keeping, with the global initiative and increased cooperation with Oklahoma City business conrununity, as the college integrates international concepts and ideas into the business curriculum.

Oklahoma City and Haikou formed a sister relationship a year ago.

Wert, accompanied by Dr. Steven Blythe, assistant professor of management, participated in conducting a "Free Market Management Training Seminar" for upper level managers in Haikou,

the capital of Hainan Province.

Hainan Province, a special economic zone in China, has been in the forefront in bringing Chinese economy to a market assisted economy. A market assisted economy places a greater reliance upon the market in directing the growth of the economy.

The seminar provided an overview of how a market economy works, latest management techniques. modern marketing principles and a brief look at issues relating to public administration.

Wert also gave a lecture at the invitation of Mr. Tong Zhiguang, Vice Minister of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade, on Sino-American Economic Linkages, in addition to trade and investment.

"Issues discussed included China's economic policy and the recently signed Memo of Understanding between United States and China on Market Access and Intellectual Property Rights Agreement, which is expected to increase trade between them," said \Vert.

Dr. Frank Wert The trip also gave Wert the opportunity to visit with UCO Taipei Alumni Association made up of industrialists, businessmen and government officials to work out mutually advantageous programs to the alumni and the school.

Wert was a visiting professor in China in the fall of 1988 and has published and presented papers on the Chinese economy.

Biology Club to camp at Black Mesa

By Joy McNutt Staff Writer

University of Central Oklahoma Biology Club members will camp at the Black Mesa State Park to attend the Oklahoma Academy of Science fall field meeting Sept.

17-19.

Usually about 200 people interested in biology and some geology attend the OAS meetings, said Dr. Thomas D. Bass, associate professor of biology. Primarily, students and faculty members from Oklahoma colleges and universities will be there, he said. But, some Federal employees from the National Wildlife Federation, and some high school biology teachers and their students also attend.

Spouses and friends also come, he said.

Participants will choose areas of study and then go on half-day field trips guided by an expert in the field, he said.

Areas of study offered are plant classification and ecology, fishes, aquatic ecology, birds, reptiles and amphibians, natural history and geology.

Bass said UCO campers need to bring their own tents and camping gear. Bass will bring the food, he said, and attendees will prepare it and eat it together.

"It forms a tighter group to cook the food together," Bass said.

Rest room and shower facilities will be available at the camp, Bass said.

Registration forms are available

from Dr. Bass at 341-2980 Ext. 5772. The cost for the trip is S6.

Those interested in going to the field meeting with the club need to contact Dr. Bass by Sept. 15, he said.

The club will have a van to transport UCO students only, if transportation is needed, said Bryan York, president of the club.

The van will leave about 1 p.m.

Friday, and will return Sunday afternoon, York said.

The club is open to anyone who is interested in biology, natural history or environmental issues, York said.

No dues are required for the club, Bass said, but members are encouraged to purchase membership in the Oklahoma Academy of Science at S5 per year.

University of Central Oklahoma President Gerge Nigh, center, is in agreement with building owners Mayor Randel Shadid and Stephen Schaus that the historical granite marker noting the location of the first classes held at The Territorial Normal School, now UCO, will stay at its currect home. The time capsule, removed from under the marker, will be opened at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 18 in UCO's Evans Hall.

Anyone associated with the capsule, as well as the general public, is encouraged to attend. Schaus, a CPA, and Shadid, an attorney, are having the building, at 19 N. Broadway, remodeled for office space. (Photo by Daniel Smith)

No other activities or personnel are there.

Other Options, a non-profit organization operated by volunteers, provides the counselors and does the testing. They are certified by the Red Cross and the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The lab work is done by the Department of Health and takes two weeks for results.

Educator and program director at Other Options, Ken Wallace, said that many people who are tested for HIV do not come back for their results "'There is still a lot of fear (about AIDS) because of early scare tactics by the government. People need to deal with their own fear." said Wallace.

Studies say condoms provide safe sex if used correctly, consistently

By Jimmy Hyde

Student Writer Two recently released studies present strong evidence that latex condoms are highly effective in the prevention of HD/ and sexually transmitted diseases when used correctly and consistently.

The studies, outlined in the Aug. 6, 1993 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, monitored couples in which one person was uninfected and the other HIV-positive.

The couples were repeatedly exposed to HIV during the studies and the condoms proved highly effective at prevention of the virus.

"With the latest CDC studies, we now have the science that proves the effectiveness of latex condoms in preventing the transmission of HIV and STD," said Val Schott, service chief for HIV/STD in Oklahoma.

Of 123 couples studied from 1987 to 1991, where one partner was infected, none became infected when condoms were used correctly and consistently.

However, 10 percent of 123 couples became infected when condoms were not used consistently.

"We find the problem not with the effectiveness of condoms, it is that they are not used consistently and correctly, and that is the key. They must be used consistently and correctly," said Schott.

Edmond/Guthrie Hospice needs students to volunteer time

By Todd Smethers

Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma students have an opportunity to help. The Edmond/Guthrie Hospice at 3324 French Park Drive is looking for volunteers.

"We are looking for quality people who genuinely care about other people," said Warren Wiard, director of Community Education

and UCO graduate. "People from 18 to 90 would be wonderful . We can use volunteers from office help to Ph.D.s."

Orientation for volunteers will be held on Sept. 10, 11 and 12.

"Volunteers will be exposed to the overall hospice philosophy.

They'll get to know what a hospice does as well as learn effective communication with patients who are terminally ill and their families," said Waird.

"The hospice basically services Logan County to Edmond, Midwest City and Del City. We have a second office in Norman and our third office is in Pauls Valley.

Volunteers can help in those areas as well," Wiard said.

Shelley Hartwick, a UCO student in the Medical Counseling Program, works at the Edmond/ Guthrie Hospice as the bereavement coordinator.

"On Sunday we will talk to the

Insurance Irving continued from front page

"We are going to be providing a core of benefits for the employees which will not change from the past," Patton said.

Aside from the current health, life and long term disability package employees receive, MassMutual provides vision insurance as a core benefit.

The new companies will also provide employees with some new options which are not currently available such as dental insurance, vision insurance for the employee's family and a dependent life insurance policy in which a certain amount per month can

cover the entire family.

Another change in services includes the waiting period for longterm disability eligibility.

"We presently have a 180 day waiting period for long-term disability benefits," Patton said. With the new coverage, "employees can buy-down to 90 days."

Representatives with MassMutual will be available through group sessions at UCO Oct. 27, 28 and 29 to discuss their policies. Patton said that employee packages with rates and enrollment material will be distributed to employees prior to these sessions.

between these two countries."

Irving will leave Oct. 12 and return Oct. 27. He will travel to Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu in Szechwan province of central China.

Irving, a professor of sociology, will attend different sessions, present, take notes, do reports and interact with various professionals, professors, sexologists, physicians and colleagues of the Chinese Sexological Society.

"We will be involved in meetings all of the time in this trip. We will be part of the Chinese Medical Association's annual conference, so this is not a vacation for us. This is a very aggressive work program. We present papers in China. We will have to develop a program of things that occurred with us while we were in China," said Irving.

The People to People program in Seattle, Wash. is developing the exchange. People to People was created during Eisenhower's presidency to get cultural exchanges going between countries, Irving said.

"China has only started opening its doors aggressively within the last decade. Sexuality in China has really been a kind of closed topic, almost like what we've seen in America during the Victorian time period. Just of late, we had the first cultural study of Chinese sexuality of 20,000 families released. This was done in '91 or '92, so, in essence, the Kinsey

Report of China has just been published. Now that, along with my colleagues from Quad S who have gone to China to set up this exchange process, is why I've chosen to be involved," said Irving.

"I think Chinese culture, in general, is a much more reserved culture in terms of displays of affection and in terms of exhibiting emotional behaviors. As a result, China has never been a society in which explicit types of behavior between members of society is exhibited outside of the family," said Dr. Frank Wert, dean of the College of Business, who returned from his second trip to China Aug. 20.

"After the reforms of 1978, China moved toward integrating its economy with the global economy. Some of society's constraints that worked by the socialist regime began to break down, so there has been somewhat of a liberalization. Given the familyoriented values of Chinese society, liberalization is never likely to equal that of Western society," added Wert.

Dr. Mike Xu who teaches Asian Studies at UCO is from China.

China, a nation of 1.2 billion people, is in a transitional period to opening up, Xu said.

"Government officials have lost control. Old way does not exist, but new way does not exist either. They are at crossroads.

They cannot hide or cover up.

They must realize the issues," said Xu. Chinese are conservative about sexuality and regard it as a private

thing, Xu said.

"We are ashamed to let anyone know about how we behave sexually. Parents will not talk about sex to children, and kids will not talk about sex to each other," said Xu. "Things have changed. With all the economic and political changes, (Chinese) society has moved from silence to a different direction. It is becoming more diversified as far as sexuality is concerned," said Xu. "Sex clinics are newly opening in China, but that never happened before.

Never."

Irving may be surprised at how receptive and willing the Chinese are to talk about sex, Xu said.

"One of the classes I'm teaching will cover sexuality and male/ female relations. When Lewis comes back, I hope to invite him to class and introduce what he saw and discovered," added Xu. The United States may be more culturally advanced than China in regard to human sexuality since sexologists have been permitted to study sexuality here for decades, Irving said.

"It's definitely been an aggressive fight. We still have people batter us daily on trying to gather research and on trying to teach," said Irving. "Still in 1993, I'm getting people contacting the president, threatening lawsuits because of information I disseminate in the classroom or because of methodology and techniques I employ.

Are we any more advanced than they are? I don't know, but I'm really interested in finding out."
