Regents offer assessment plan Policy to focus on students' academic successes Bush decries ad WASHINGTON (AP)—President Bush on Wednesday decried a slashing TV ad that attackes liberal senators expected to oppose Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, calling it "offensive" and totally counterproductive." Administration officials contacted Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy, Joseph Biden and Alan Cranston, whose ethics were questioned in the 60-second commercial, as the White House sought to blunt comparisons with Bush's 1988 Willie Horton campaign ad controversy. Officials telephoned the senators "and expressed our concern over the ad," which was sponsored by two groups, Conservative Victory Committee and Citizens United, said White House spokeswoman Judy Smith.
By Barbara Dewailley Staff Writer Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education recently announced a proposed policy for systemwide assessment of colleges and universities. The policy is to assess students and survey the alumni. The main focus will be academics, but counseling, financial aid and student services will also be examined and is to increase student success, said Regent Chancellor Hans Brisch. Plans ere for student assessment to be evaluated at three levels: when they enter college, during the sophomore or junior year, and again as seniors.

Suburban mother receives 15 years HOUSTON (AP)---A jury Wednesday sentenced a suburban homemaker to 15 years in prison and fined her $10,000 for trying to hire a hitman to kill the mother of her daughter's rival for a spot on their school's cheerleading squad. Prosecutors had asked for the maximum life prison term for Wanda Holloway, 37, of Channelview, who was convicted Tuesday of solicitation of murder. Mrs. Holloway was convicted of solicitation of capital murder in attempting to hire a hitman to kill Verna Heath. The crime carried a possible sentence of five years to life in prison and fines up to $10,000.
Dottie West dead NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Country singer Dottie West died Thursday morning of injuries suffered in a car wreck last week on the way to performing at the Grand Ole Opry. The 58-year-old singersongwriter, who won country music's first Grammy for female vocalist, died at 9:43 a.m. CDT, said Barbara Cramer, spokeswoman for Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She was probably best known for the hit song "Country Sunshine" and duets with Kenny Rogers, who praised her as someone who "sang emotions" rather than words. Her career spanned more than 25 years and yielded solo hits like "Here Comes My Baby," the 1964 hit that won the first Grammy for country music performance by a female. See WORLD WRAP, back page.

One president on another president he lead article in Thursday's Vista quoted Bart Binning, president, UCO faculty senate, regarding the presidential selection process. If the committee chooses a "fast track option," a new president could be chosen by February or March. However, Benning stated that selection would probably be limited to "locally known personalities" such as those listed recently in the local media. Why the vague reference? Binning could have said in plain English "advertising celebrity" or "automobile huckster" or "former governor." Or could Binning have meant Argus Hamilton? He's a locally-known personality who could probably do as good a job as the jokers OU and OSU chose from their national presidential searches. V

Feds need to state case on Walters Student complains about letter
he FBI and the IRS have been digging around the capitol long enough to know if there is any dirt on Gov. David Walters. Both investigations have been dragging on since January and it is hurting Oklahoma. The governor has weak executive power at best—the result of the populist mindset at statehood—but he serves as the state's leader, personal hero and public relations pitchman beyond state lines. But the clouds of suspicion hanging over the capital city dim Walters' and the state's credibility. Until the next legislative session convenes and takes some of the spotlight from him, the governor is a conspicuous one-man show. For the time being he appears to be trying to earn his salary. He holds weekly press conferences and thinks up oners like the Broadway Extension tollway and dollar-a-gallon gasoline tax hikes. Meanwhile, the G-men play cloak and dagger games, "undisclosed sources" make hints and allegations, the media catches an occasional crumb to throw to the public, and Walters is left at the mansion guarding his back. The FBI and the IRS have had plenty of time to decide if Walters is a crook or not. The only substantial evidence presented against the governor concerned campaign financing irregularities and patronage appointments. But those are matters of poor judgment, not a lack of integrity. It's time for these agencies to present their findings to a federal grand jury or get out of town. V

hile this letter is a rebuttal of Donald I. Paquin's letter to the editor supporting the death penalty, it is not a letter which opposes the death penalty. Rather, it is Mr. Paquin's illconsidered rationale that I wish to refute. I strongly suspect that the letter in question contained exaggerations, half-truths, and perhaps untruths. Certainly, it was chock-full of assumptions, unsubstantiated statements, and emotional lan-
W
guage. Hardly a scholarly discussion of the topic. And frankly, the paragraph that mentioned America's "acceptable level of death" did not even seem to make sense. Therefore, I am compelled to suspend judgement about his claims. It is my hope that readers who were exposed to Mr. Paquin's letter were rational about his argument. In contrast, he attempted to rationalize his view of the death penalty.
I would never begrudge anyone their opinion. However, people are often persuaded by an irresponsible one. It is in light of this that I write this letter. As an individual that is always in search of the truth, I welcome credible information regarding support of the death penalty, but just the facts, sir. Only the facts. —Shelley Hiestand UCO student

UCO prof visits fitness summit By Patricia Sarren
Student Writer University of Central Oklahoma's Dr. Karen J. Dowd recently heard Arnold Schwarzenegger open the first four day "National Youth Fitness Summit" in May at the Washington Sheraton. "There is a crisis with the physical condition of our youth in America," Dowd said. "This is the first generation of adults in the history of America to be in better health than their children," she said. According to Dowd, "Children are showing signs of heart disease with symptoms of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and bad eating habits." "We have got to make the
school administration, the local Board of Educaton, the State Education officials and the parents aware of the problem," she said. A balanced child needs quality daily physical fitness at least 30 minutes five times a week for elementary and 50 minutes for secondary. Balance enchances the childs self image. "The quality comes from teachers who address the individual needs of the children by blending motor skills, sport skills, physical finess, dance, and rythmn," she said. "Programs need to be made possible for all children to participate;from handicapped) to the very poorly skilled. Filling these needs opens challenges," said Dowd. "All 50 states developed a plan with the 250 representatives in at-
tendance. Oklahoma sent a combination of six from the Governors Council of Physical Fitness and Sport, public schools, colleges, and universities both private and public. It has to be a team effort," said Dowd. Arnold opened the summit with "The State of Youth Fitness," an update on the 25 state visits he has made since his appointment by President Bush as Chairman of the Council. "We will get a 30 day notice when Arnold visits an elementary school either this fall or spring,"said Dowd. "It is motivating and exhilerating to be there with people who care as much as you do," said Dowd, "It keeps the kindred spirit alive,helping people make things happen." V

"Operation: Safewalk" designed to enhance UCO students' security By David Spillers Student Writer

Recruiters selective in filling positions By Penny Owen Staff Writer
With military cuts now in full swing, the Army ROTC program has gained a seller's edge in choosing candidates to fill their sharply downsized quotas. ROTC will commission 35 percent fewer lieutenants nationwide this year to save the Army $23 million. At the University of Central Oklahoma, this means. quotas are down from 15 commissions per year to ten, while competition to secure those coveted slots will rise, said Professor of Military Science, Lt.Col. Eugene W. Heintz. "We're not turning any qualified individuals away, but we're making it real clear they may not go on active duty," said Heintz. This year, of the 6,600 cadets commissioned nationwide, 2,800 were given active duty tours. The remaining 3,800 were assigned to the National Guard or Army Reserve. The ROTC at UCO has 21 cadets contracted in the ROTC program and room for ten to go on active duty upon graduation. Some normally drop out because of academic, physical and other
RE FOR LE --`41 ■
reasons. Those remaining must depend on their performance in ROTC summer camp, grade point average and overall attitude to cinch an active duty invitation. ROTC also plans to trim personnel, with some positions being eliminated once they become empty. "I've lost some slots," Heintz said. "But I haven't lost any people yet." "Congress has detennined they will not pay for the military at it's current size," Heintz said. "The threat has changed. This is not unusual after a war. Americans don't like large, standing armies, especially their own." ROTC produces about 70 percent of the military officers and is one of the largest providers of scholarships. They pay 80 percent of the tuition or $7,500, whichever is more, plus money for books and equipment and an additional $1,000 per year for other expenses. Among those from the ROTC system are Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Lou Holtz, football coach at Notre Dame; tennis pro Arthur Ashe; four Army chiefs of staff and more than half of the Army's current generals. V
Feeling safe on campus is a priority of all students attending the University of Central Oklahoma. Attempting to fill that task, Chief Bob Roberts, eleven full—time and several student officers make up the campus police force. "It is the job of all officers to make our campus safe for all students and faculty," said Lieutenant Hayes Forbes of the UCO Campus Police Department. "All parking lots and buildings, including the dorms, are patrolled 24 hours a day, by both car and foot. Officers are required, by state statute, to attend and
pass courses at the state police academy and additional training is required each year. Teamwork and cooperation with the police will make the campus as safe as possible," Forbes said. Existing programs such as "Operation: Safewalk" do just that. "Operation: Safewalk" provides an escort to students walking the campus at night. "Anyone can be a victim, and preventive measures are the best way to keep from becoming a statistic. Use common sense, be aware of your surroundings and the people in them," Forbes said. Escorts can be requested, for any reason, by phoning the campus police non—emergency line at 341-2980, ext. 2345, anytime Monday through Thursday, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. In the event of an emergency, call 341-9111.

Teachers missing in specialized fields By Pam Thurman Student Writer
Some Oklahoma colleges do not offer enough flexibility in allowing teachers to be certified in specialized fields, a state Board of Education member contends. As a result, the state has experienced a shortage of speech pathologists, librarians, and counselors, Burl Bartlett said. He said the shortage could worsen under mandated reforms of House Bill 1017. Bartlett said one problem is that specialized teaching certificates such as speech pathology require master's degrees and courses that are offered at only a few schools in Oklahoma. "We've built some high fences around some positions," Bartlett said. Kenneth Elsner, dean of UCO
College of Education, said that student numbers have been growing significantly in the libray/ media field and in guidance and counseling. With HB 1017 mandates requiring certification for school accreditation, many part-time school staff are returning to college to attain the proper credentials. Classes leading to certification are offered at UCO year-round during late afternoon and evening hours, and during the summer, with record enrollment the past five summers, Elsner said. "Our classes are filled. The requirements (of BB 1017) raise the quality of the program and with the increase in enrollment it's evident that people are meeting those requirements," said Dr. Frances Alsworth, the director of the library science program on campus. Oklahoma Regents for Higher
Education have launched a comprehensive evaluation of teacher education programs at 12 state colleges and universities including UCO. The regents review is independent of a teacher education study being conducted by the Oklahoma legislature. "The regents review supports and furthers the goals of HB 1017 by ensuring that teacher programs prepare prospective teachers to help their students reach required levels of performance," said Hans Brisch, Chancellor of Higher Education. Bartlett said both the Board of Education and the Regents for Higher Education will attend an education summit next month during which the certification problems will likely be on the agenda. V

Dr. Terry M. Clark, University of Central Oklahoma journalism department chair, was awarded a fellowship to attend the American Press Institute's Journalism Educators' Seminar Oct. 6-11 in Reston Va. "Selection to the seminar will primarily benefit our students and the UCO journalism department, because it will help us stay abreast of the rapid changes in journalism education," Clark said, calling his selection an honor for the UCO journalism department. "Much of the material discussed will be immediately helpful in my classes, and directly applicable to our curriculum reform," he said. Clark is one of 20 journalism professors from across America
Seminar sessions are "Newspapers in the '90s," "News Content—the Struggle for Readers," "The Employment Outlook," "Harnessing the New Technology," "Selecting Today's Content—a Workshop," "Approaches to Improved Writing," "Design and the Visual Elements," "Expanding Reporters' Information Sources," and "Building and Maintaining Credibility.

Campus police defend sparse parking The lot will hold 300 cars, but currently is used by 25, Dunn said.
By Larry Rogers Staff Writer Though many complaints may be heard about parking at the University of Central Oklahoma, campus police chief Bob Roberts said he believes there is adequate parking. "I think the difference is in terminology," Roberts said. "There is parking, there's just not convenient parking." Campus police Sgt. Doris Dunn said one commuter area not being used is located on the east side of Wantland Stadium on the north end of campus. "I think the reason is either the students don't know the lot is there or they think it's too far from their classes," Dunn said.
Roberts said any building on campus can be reached from the lot in 10-15 minutes. University police have issued roughly 500 tickets and nearly 6000 warnings since the fall semester began, Dunn said. "One question students ask is `how come we get tickets, and staff/faculty don't get tickets, — Dunn said. "Well, if you talk to staff/faculty people, they'll say `Wrong,' because they do get tickets, sometimes just as often as students do."
year's pictures have been taken, but proofs have not yet been made available to campus police, Dunn said. "The pictures help give us an overview of any problems we may or may not have," Dunn said. "Administration hears complaints about parking every year," Dunn said, "but as far as developing close-in parking, what students want, I don't see where they can do it. If they do develop another area, it's still going to be away from the buildings." V

UCO in compliance on admission policies By Marcia Benedict Staff. Writer A review of admissions policies at Oklahoma colleges and universities conducted by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education showed that the University of Central Oklahoma is in compliance with requirements for admitting first time freshmen to the university. Misinterpretation of regents' policy caused 95 cases of inconsistencies at the two comprehensive and ten regional universities, said Robin Hamilton-Folks, coordinator of publications and special projects for the state regents. "Some institutions may have been too lenient and some could have had more restrictions, but none of the cases were intentional," she said. The Oklahoma Constitution gives the state regents the ability to make standards for the
public universities to follow, Hamilton-Folks said. Darrell Gilliland, UCO registrar, said the requirements for admitting freshmen vary annually. "Students are admitted after an evaluation of their performance and curriculum requirements. If curricular requirements are not met, then a student cannot attend a four year university," he said. Performance criteria include ACT and SAT test scores, ranking in an individual's graduating class and a student's grade point average. Curricular requirements include completing four years of English, three years of math, two years of history and two years of lab science before entering a college or university, Gilliland said. "I think the review was just a reminder to the different schools to go by the regents' policies," he said. V

Students earn plastic credit By Penny Owen Staff Writer
ting the applications are made easier by offers of a cruise or computer sweepstakes to those applying.
When sophomore Stefan Daniel first enrolled at the University - of Central Oklahoma last year, he planned on getting credit for classes; but not for spending money. Yet when his first VISA came a month later, he found he had both. Daniel said he got a call from Associates National Bank in Calif. offering him a VISA application. "I thought it was a fake deal. I didn't think it was for real," he said. "She said it was a real national VISA. I thought, my God, a VISA! I'm just 19-years-old!" With his major credit card, parttime job and slight credit history, Daniel became one of over two million students nationwide who found that getting a credit card, or two or three, is far easier at school than out there in the real world. Credit to college students is big business. So big, in fact, that the Sears-sponsored DISCOVER card hires On-Campus Marketing Concepts to gather completed ap-

when he needed to buy books. Within weeks after receiving his card, he was sent several invitations to apply for other credit cards. "I'm not even using it right now," Bradford said. "I could make the payments, but they charge such ridiculous interest." After getting his VISA, senior Payton Dunham was able to get other credit cards, including an American Express. When VISA raised his limit to $1,500, Payton said his payments almost got out of control, but then he landed a well-paying summer job. "If you can't maintain them, you're going to get in trouble." V

cuses more on faculty research and publications, Wert said. The ACBSP, founded in 1988, was chosen because of its "emphasis on educating the students," and "student oriented objectives." The primary goal of the ACBSP is to strengthen business education by improving the quality of teaching. The UCO College of Business Administration currently has about 3,500 undergraduate students and 600 graduate students enrolled-the largest college of business in the state. V
nistration was first accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools in 1947. The recent ACBSP accreditation, however, represents national recognition for meeting strict academic standards.

Spikers thrash Titans in inaugural match
Arbuthnot leads cross country team to ninth
By Ray Dozier Sports Information Assistant
By Bill Kramer Sports Editor
Central Oklahoma swept Oral Roberts 15-8, 15-10, 15-6 Thursday night in the Broncho Field House to open the 1991 volleyball season for the Lady Bronchos. UCO never trailed in the first or third game but had to overcome a 9-6 deficit in the second game. Junior Amy Parten and senior Heather Devine each had 12 kills in the match for the Lady Bronchos. UCO had a .371 attack percentage while holding the Lady Titans (0-7) to .041 attack percentage. Leading the way defensively for UCO was Kristin Vincent, who had five solo blocks. Central Oklahoma, 1-0, is on the road tonight in a meeting with NCAA I Tulsa. The Lady Bronchos then travel to Joplin, Mo., Friday and Saturday to play in the Missouri Southern Tournament. Coach Mark Herrin said the team must improve in order to do well during the long road trip ahead, which ends Sept. 28 in matches with Adams State and Eastern New Mexico. "Tulsa is going to give us a tougher battle than ORU did, and there are some tough teams in the Missouri Southern Tournament this weekend." V
Sophomore Doyle Arbuthnot finished 25th overall in the men's four-mile run, pacing Central Oklahoma's cross country team to ninth place Saturday in the Wichita State Invitational. Arbuthnot ran the course in 21:45, ahead of teammate Jeremy Kie, who finished 33rd in 22:03 and Kyle Skartwed, who placed 34th in 22:08. Junior Anita Stuffelebeam placed 39th (20:54) to lead the UCO women to an eight-place finish in the three-mile course. Melissa Jones was 43rd in 21:05. Ashley Mathis was 45th in 22:02. V
Northwest Missouri overcame five lost fumbles and a 7-0 deficit in the first half to spank Central Oklahoma 38-14 in the season opener for both teams Saturday before about 1,500 fans at Wantland Stadium. The Bearcats, 2-8-1 a year ago, scored 21 fourth-quarter points and racked up 455 yards total offense in the game. Bearcat senior fullback Ed Tillison made the most of 12 rushing attempts, compiling 148 yards and a touchdown, and senior quarterback Jeremy Wilson completed six of 14 passes for 123 yards and two scores. The Bronchos, who lost for the first time in a home opener in Wantland Stadium's 27-year history, drew first blood in the game with a three-yard touchdown run by sophomore Tyrone Jones in the first quarter. The score was produced following a fumble by each team near NW Missouri's 20-yard line. UCO recovered the second one at the Bearcat 21. Five plays later, Jones carried the ball in for the score, giving the Bronchos an early 7-0 advantage with 3:04 left in the first quarter. Barely four minutes later, Wilson found split end Ralph Hinds over the middle for a 59-yard touchdown pass, tying the score at 7-7 with 14:02 to play in the second quarter. The Bearcats added another score before the half when Wilson hit split end Ray Massey for a 34-yard touchdown pass. With the successful point after, NW Missouri was on top 14-7 with 51 seconds left in the half. Following a 39-yard field goal by NW Missouri's Robert Godard

with 9:56 left in the third quarter, UCO went to work in an attempt to rally from a 17-7 deficit. The Bronchos drove 44 yards in 10 plays and scored a touchdown with only nine seconds expired in the fourth quarter as Jones scampered in from a yard out to pull UCO within three, 17-14. NW Missouri took that cue to go on and score three more times. Halfback Reggie St. Romain ran the ball in from 47 yards out to put the Bearcats up 24-14, and Tillison followed with a 50-yard score three minutes later, giving the visitors a 31-14 lead. Bearcat halfback Joseph Johnson sealed the Bronchos fate with a two-yard touchdown run with 5:25 remaining. The Bronchos remain at home next week to play host to Southern Utah, who is coming off a 33-14 loss to Weber State. 0 14 NW Missouri 7 0 Central Oklahoma First Quarter

Bronze Book eliminates mug shots, Lagging sales cause 50 percent cut By Kathy Karr Staff Writer
Students will lose face in the University of Central Oklahoma's Bronze Book this year, as the yearbook undergoes a 50 percent reduction. The student section with individual photographs of students is being cut from the Bronze Book, said Julie Taylor, Bronze Book editor. "The main reason is because it's not really representative of our school," Taylor said. Out of about 14,000 students, only 400 students had individual
pictures taken last year, Taylor said. The entire book has been cut by 200 pages, Taylor said. Last year's centennial edition was 400 pages. All sections have been cut by about 50 percent, Taylor said. Other than the reduction in size, the format of the yearbook will basically be the same, Taylor said. "It will be magazine style," Taylor said. Candid shots, group photos and a faculty section will make up the `91-'92 year book. "Our main goal this year is to get more people in the book so that more people will buy the book," Taylor said.
Out of 1,400 books printed last year, only 516 were bought prepaid, and less than 100 were sold to walk-ins, said Virginia Dodson, Bronze Book office manager. The sale of books has been steadily decreasing since 1986, Dodson said. "The number of books bought has steadily declined," Dodson said. "I don't know if it's because we're a commuter college, or be cause we didn't publicize it enough." Yearbooks can be purchased for $14 by checking the box on the enrollment form, or students can visit the Bronze Book office and purchase a book for $16, Taylor said. V

Cyclists streak through OKC on Lake Hefner Trails By Penny Owen Staff Writer
"It's mainly a support program for the minority groups, but we don't limit our services just to minorities," Noley said, "anyone is welcome to use our services." The Black Americans, American Indians, Hispanic Americans and Asian and Pacific Islanders each have a student staff to help provide social, financial and academic help to university students. The Black American Student staff helps to promote black culture on the campus and acts as a

In cooperation with Oklahoma City Beautiful, Lake Hefner Trails, Inc. plans to circle the lake with jogging and cycling trails. One and one-half miles of trails has been completed so far. The effort is supported by volunteers, private funding and proceeds from running and cycling events. V

liaison between the university administration and the black student body. Students who staff the American Indian peer group serve as liaisons between the Tribal Scholarship Administrator, the university and the individual students. Noley's office advises Hispanic-American, Asian and Pacific Islander students. Dr. Ronald Paddack, UCO international student adviser, said international students can receive assistance with personal and academic matters at his office in the Administration Building. "Our office serves as the admissions office for those (international) students, we answer all inquiries about admission policy and process all immigration papers," Paddack said. The office also handles currency transactions for foreign students. "Many countries will only transfer money to the university not to the students, so we assist them with their finances," Paddack said. V

Music lovers could face a $100 fine if officers feel that the Skid Row or Public Enemy album blasting from a car window is too loud. The Edmond City Council passed an ordinance last month prohibiting noise amplification if it can be heard within 50 feet of a car or house. "We usually do not do anything about it unless we receive a corn-
plaint," said Captain Ben Daves of the Edmond Police Department. Whether or not officers give citations on the street is left up to the officer's judgment, Daves said. Sergeant Joyce Dunn of the University of Central Oklahoma's campus police said that students are subject to the ordinance only on the city streets that run through campus. The campus policy is that if music in the dorms or in cars is too loud or disruptive, campus police will ask students to turn it down, Dunn said. V

Business picking up on death row
WORLD WRAP continued from page 1
Processing plant fire kills 24 HAMLET, N.C. (AP)-Fire broke out last week at a chicken processing plant, killing 24 people and injuring more than 40, authorities said. Employees and witnesses said one exit was locked and one was temporarily blocked by a truck. "They were screaming 'Let me out!'" said passer-by Sam Breeden. "They were beating on the door." Witnesses said a fryer at the Imperial Food Products plant caught fire about 8:30 a.m. The company makes chicken nuggets and marinated chicken breasts sold at fast-food restaurants and grocery stores. The interior of the building was gutted.
TULSA, Okla. (AP)-State prosecutors say Oklahoma may hold three more executions in the next two years and begin working through the remaining 119 in buisnesslike fashion, after Charles Coleman's death a year ago shook the cork out of the deathrow bottleneck. "A lot of the major philosophical points have now been decided," said Robert Nance, chief of the attorney general's federal division. "We have a system that has been upheld. We'll always have to defend how it's carried out." The execution that Olclahomas have been anticipating perhaps even more than that first one could come within the next 18 months, Attorney General Susan Loving said. Mass-murder Roger Dale Stafford has almost exhausted his appeals, Ms. Loving said.
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-Police and fire officials joined local church leaders last week to denounce recent vandalism against churches and publicize rewards being offered for information leading to arrests. Fires that began within about an hour of each other destroyed one Oklahoma City church and heavily damaged another. Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Roger Wagnon said rewards for information about the fires have been set up through the arson unit of the Fire Department in trying to curtail further vandalism. The department has recommended five things-involvement in a neighborhood watch program, the prompt reporting of any suspicious activity around churches, the use of the department's arson hotline, making sure churches are locked, and lighting the inside and outside of churches at night.
Tulsa fire department suspends Scouts pending investigation TULSA, Okla. (AP)-An 18-year-old in Tulsa's Fire Explorer program apparently took a fire department vehichle out on a call without supervision, ran a red light and rammed the back of a city truck, officials said last week. The accident sent five Explorers and two city workers to the hospital and caused an estimated $19,000 in damage to the city vehicles, officials said. The Tulsa fire department has suspended the roughly 20-member post of the Explorers, a program that gives teen-agers a taste of real-life firefighting, until an investigation of the accident is fmished, Fire Chief Tom Baker said.
Family pets running cancer risk WASHINGTON (AP)-Homeowners who spray with weedkilling, herbicides may get good-looking lawns, but they could give their dogs cancer, a federal study says. National Cancer Institute researchers reported Tuesday that dogs whose owners use a herbicide containing 2,4D have up to twice the risk of developing cancer. And the study said research is needed to determine whether household use of the plant-killing chemical could also pose a risk to humans. The study said when homeowners sprayed their lawns with 2,4-D herbicide four or more times a year, dogs that played on the lawns were twice as likely to develop a cancer called malignant lymphoma. Earlier studies on farms in Nebraska showed that agricultural workers who mixed and sprayed the herbicide more than 20 days per year were up to three times more likely to develop lymphoma.
