Kelly clears up credit problems Non-profit agency's president talks to UCO sorority Oklahoma killer appearing on `Most Wanted' OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Authorities who have been unsuccessful the past six years in trying to capture an escaped murderer are hoping that a spot on a nationally syndicated television program will bring them results.

David Gordon Smith walked away from a minimum-security prison in McAlester on Oct. 28, 1985.

A segement on Smith will be shown this fall on an espisode of "America's Most Wanted" on the Fox Network.

Smith was brought up before the state Pardon and Parole Board in 1984 and the parole board voted unanimously to reject his bid for release. A year later, Smith disappeared.

Uganda silences condom reports KAMPALA, Uganda (AP)—Uganda, which has the highest number of reported AIDS cases in Africa, has ordered state-run media to stop announcements about condoms and their role in preventing the spread of the disease, a paper reported Saturday.

Paul Etyang, the minister of information and broadcasting, issued the directive Friday without explanation, according to the state-run newspaper New Vision.

The order follows strong criticism of the government's anti-AIDS campaign from Christian and Islamic religious leaders.

Gloria Kelly decorates her office with jars containing pieces of 55 cut-up credit cards in them. The contributor, who came to Kelly after unsuccessfully fighting off the creditors at his doorstep, was $150,000 in debt when he handed them to her and asked for help.

Kelly is president of Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS), a non-profit agency which helps people solve their credit problems. Having recently opened an Edmond office, Kelly spent time Monday talking to the University of Central Oklahoma's sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta.

"There's nothing wrong with using a credit card," Kelly said. "If you know you can pay for it."

However, about 64 percent of the consumers are in over their heads with credit cards, she said. That doesn't mean they're not paying their bills, but should an unexpected expense arise, those consumers would most likely default on their payments.

She said about 10 percent of all credit card accounts are now delinquent.

Kelly said most of her clients are people with good-paying jobs, like the newly married couple who used an excessive amount of credit to decorate their new home. The husband took on a part-time night job to catch up on the bills, which worked -- until the wife got pregnant and was told by her doctor to quit her job.

After the husband got a second part-time job, the couple began quarreling. Kelly said

the story did not end happily, neither for the couple nor their credit rating.

Several CCCS clients are college studentz, Kelly said.

Getting credit is made easy in college, which creates quite a temptation to spend money they otherwise couldn't spend, she said.

Often a student in a financial bind will marry another in the same situation, Kelly said. This only compounds the problem.

When using a credit card, the ideal option is to pay the full balance when the bill comes, Kelly said. This will reflect good payment on your credit report and avoid finance charges.

"According to a national survey, the average consumer with credit cards spends about two and one-half month's salary each year on finance charges," Kelly said.

Kelly gave the example of a consumer who owed a local merchant $2,800 for a refrigerator. The monthly payments were $112 per month. Of that, $49 went to finance charges and five dollars to credit insurance to cover the debt should they die.

The remaining $58 went to principal, which meant that each month the consumer paid $112 to reduce the debt by $58.

When choosing a card, shop for the lowest interest rates and fees, she said. And when taking out a car loan, avoid payments that are strung out over five or six years, because the payments may outlast the car.

Consumers can also invite trouble by having too many credit cards.

Kelly said that some loan companies look at the number of credit cards a person holds to determine the potential credit that consumer can be extended. Too much credit po-

tential may scare that loan company away from extending more credit.

"Very few people just have one credit card," Kelly said. "They don't stop to think that it's $20 a month for each one. They don't add up the monthly payments, they aren't making a budget and they don't see what they can afford to put out."

A budget comparing income with living expenses is crucial for good money management, Kelly said. A consumer should not have to pay more than 20 percent of their income toward credit card payments.

Some symptoms of credit card abuse Ownership of more than one credit card and one charge card that must be paid in full each month.

Card payments prevent regular payment of rent, utilities or car loans.

Cash advances or checks written on one credit card are used to make payments on another.

Balances are at the credit limit, making cards unavailable for emergencies.

Credit is used to pay for meals with friends who reimburse in cash, which is then regarded as "found" money.

Gay couples get marriage benefits SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP)—Boosted

by Lotus Development Corp.'s decision to extend benefits to gay and lesbian couples, Silicon Valley groups said Monday they would press their fledging civil rights movement for homosexual workers.

On Friday, Lotus announced it would allow workers with same-sex partners to qualify for benefits offered to employees' spouses, such as medical and dental care, vision and hearing coverage, and bereavement leave. The extension does not apply to unmarried heterosexual couples.

The Cambridge, Mass.-based software maker became the first large U.S. company to offer benefits to gay partners.

On the horns of a dilemma

ew Supreme Court nominees have had all sides squirming in the hot seat like the nomination of Clarence Thomas. If approved, Thomas will create a "nobody wins" situation for both his proponents and opponents.

When the court's only black member, Justice Thurgood Marshall, announced his retirement due to failing health, no one questioned the need, albeit wisdom, to replace him with a minority of similar legal scholarship and liberal politics. So Bush nominated Clarence Thomas and the agony began.

Judge Thomas has an admirable poverty-to-prominence tale to tell and it's simply considered un-American to not pull for the underdog. But Thomas' conservative position on abortion rights, affirmative action and other constitutional issues will do little to temper the high court bench already leaning perilously to the right.

While Thomas does not have the support of the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus and other similar interest groups, failure to approve Thomas' nomination sends a mixed message. A vote against Thomas could be interpreted as a racist stance and could alienate black constituents more than a vote in his favor.

If Thomas does not get a seat on the bench, Bush has stated he will probably not name another black nominee and has alluded to Hispanic alternate.

So when all is said and done, Thomas' legal ideology may play second fiddle to race and the losers will be those seeking fair interpretation and relief through the American system of jurisprudence. V

is often the case, Donald aquin's letter in support of the death penalty (August 29, 1991) displays a clear lack of knowledge regarding convicted offenders and penology. First, the criminal justice system is no more a joke than is the society in which it exists. Criminal justice problems and issues are societal problems and issues. Since rehabilitation has often been effective with serious criminal offenders (over 50 percent never return to prison) it is no myth. The problem here is that correctional successes are never heard from again, while failures always come 5

back to haunt us and are forever newsworthy.

Moreover, felons do not "view a few years in prison as a rest and relaxation period." No prison that we are familiar with allows the "Playboy Channel" and many are without any air conditioning in the summer.

The first signer of this letter has spent over fifteen years in maximum security prisons and has nothing but gratitude in his heart for the exemplary corrections officers, prison teachers, and other staff he encountered on his lengthy rehabilitation journey. Both writers are social scientists committed to

the rehabilative idea and have been involved with Oklahoma inmates for many years in higher education.

Mr. Paquin could benefit substantially from the masters program in Criminal Justice Management and Administration. His brand of popularistic diatribe contributes little or nothing to academic discourse nor to solution of our societal problems.

Guinn original Oklahoman to participate in fellowship

By Misty Pace Student Writer

Workshops on project development, leadership and "get acquainted" activities were part of a two week seminar in June at Washington D.C. for the Partner's of the Americas Fellowship in International Development.

University of Central Oklahoma Academic Advisor Dr. Donna Guinn was selected as Oklahoma's first participant in the fellowship.

"The way I got into it to begin with, was probably my language skills. It gives me the opportunty to use the Spanish language ... alot," said Guinn.

The fellowship, sponsored by the Kellog Foundation, has representatives from the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. The representatives are from various professional backgrounds who work together exchanging ideas and skills in areas such as agriculture, community development, education, health care and rehabilitation, economic opportunities and environmental concerns.

Dr. Donna Guinn

Other seminars will be held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, San Lucia, Brazil, and Costa Rica during the next two years, said Guinn.

These seminars will add to each participants understanding of political, social and economic conditions of each country represented.

"You develop these interpersonal relationships with people from all over the world," Guinn said.

Guinn said she will also take advantage of grant funds available to her through the fellowship to attend courses to improve her language skills before the next seminar. V

Elsner predicts changes after task force evaluation

By Marcia Benedict Staff Writer

Teacher education degree programs could be changed at Oklahoma universities after a task force evaluates teacher preparation throughout the state, said Dr. Kenneth Elsner, Dean of Education at the University of Central Oklahoma and a member of a recently appointed task force.

"Without a doubt the programs will change, it's just a matter of time," Elsner said.

The "Task Force on Teacher Preparation" is composed of 21 members. It was created when the state legislature passed the alternative certification bill last April.

Elsner said the task force is required to complete 11 tasks before meeting with the state legislature on Nov. 30.

The assigned tasks include re-

viewing teacher preparation in neighboring states as well as in Japan, England, Germany, France and Sweden, he said.

Elsner said the force will also hold community hearings so parents, teachers and students can voice personal recommendations to the members.

"We have a lot of work to do in a short period of time," he said.

No recommendations to alter the programs have yet been made by the committee, Elsner said.

Revamping teacher preparation programs could emphasize the state's efforts to better educate elementary and secondary students, he said.

"Schools are changing, society is changing and teachers need to be changing to keep up with other states and countries and accomodate the students' needs," Elsner said. V

Rhonda Walters alleges media coverage unfair TULSA, Okla.

(AP)—Reporters' unfair coverage of Gov. David Walters has blighted his first eight months in office for his family, first lady Rhonda Walters says.

"Probably the only surprise that we've had to being in office is that the media is so unkind," Mrs. Walters said. "I didn't expect it ... I expected it, but not to this extent."

Mrs. Walters, 39, blasted reporters' handling of the campaign-finance allegations against her husband, and of the federal probs into the allegations, in an interview with the Tulsa World,

Federeral authorities have subpoenaed Walter's campaign finance records and some who were involved in Walters' campaign say they have been questioned by the FBI. The first lady has been told, she said, that one television reporter boasts that covering the rumors about Walters is the reporter's ticked to a bigger market, whether the rumors are true or not.

"We don't watch television," she said.

But she does attend her husband's weekly news conferences so she can draw her own conclusions about the goings on.

"The reporters sit around giggling and passing notes," she said.

"But the minute someone

asks a question about new rumors or allegations, the lights and cameras come on. That's what makes the news."

On Aug. 15 reporters came to the news conference keyed up by rumors that Walters would resign. The governor would step down to save himself and his wife from federal prosecution, one rumor went.

Mrs. Walters called allegations that she is a target of federal investigators absurd, and said the FBI has not contacted

her.

"Those things are just bizarre things and that's really how you do keep your perspective," she said. "They're so farfetched that they're unbelievable, when it gets to be that bizarre, the people that are spreading those rumors must be very, very desperate."

Although she would not name names, Mrs. Walters said she knows who is starting the allegations.

"It's the same people that he fired and his friend," she said.

J.B. Bennett, a former campaign aide whom Walters had fired as state tourism director, has been the most constant and public source of the job-selling allegations against Walters.

Mrs. Walters said Walters came in office as an outsider, and said that made him the natural target of Oklahoma's political insiders.

"He doesn't have a record

like some of his political opponents have so they can't attack him on that, so the next thing they attack is his integrity," she

said.

And he does have integrity, she said.

"David is the type of person who does what he thinks is right," she said. "He's almost obsessed with doing what's right."

Mrs. Walters, who had a career in real estate before her husband took office, said her two youngest daughtersfifth-grader Kristen and kindergartner Elizabeth—have largely been shielded from the bad publicity about their father.

The two older children— University of Oklahoma junior Shaun and high school junior Tanna—may become disillusioned, she said.

"The fact that you can be out there working you heart out and get blasted ... it's been tough," she said.

The Walters are inclined to ride out the criticism, she said.

"It gets to a point where you say, we're going to do this no matter what and prove everyone else wrong," she said.

"Are the television stations going to run the same sensational stories saying nothing has been proven?" she asked.

"Are the headlines going to be as big on the front page to restore our reputation? I don't think so."

Woman battles gang violence Native Oklahoman and retired Navy nurse ventilates problems and pressures of gangs to UCO students

By Kathy Karr Staff Writer Gang violence will be discussed September 25, as Pat Benedict, a naive Oklahoman and retired Navy nurse tells of her experiences with gangs and her determination to keep young people away from them.

Benedict's appearance on UCO's campus is timely, with gang activity on the rise in Edmond and a shoot-out this past weekend related to gang activity.

An Oklahoma city man was shot Saturday at the Armory community center last Saturday morning after a fight broke out at a party in the armory, said Captain Ron Calvin of the Edmond Police Department. Several party goers, who were Bloods, began shouting "He's a Crip!". Scotty Lynn Sherman, a 19-year-old student a Rose State College, was classified in critical condidtion in the intensive care unit at Edmond Regional Medical Center.

The incident is not as isolated as many citizens may believe. According to Cavin, gang activity has recently been on the rise in Edmond.

"Our gang problem began really several years ago. We began to notice an increase in contacts with gang members," Cavin said.

"We arrested several auto thieves that we later determined to be Crips."

The gangs present in Edmond are branches of Los Angeles gangs, the Bloods and the Crips.

A number of crimes committed in Edmond over the past few years have been attributed to gang members. Auto burglary, car theft, stabbings, shootings and drug sales have all been determined by police to have been committed by gang members, Cavin said.

"The sale of crack cocaine has really been on the rise," Cavin said. "There have been more arrests for that than ever before in the past two or three years."

"About six months ago, we shut down an individual producing quite a bit of crack cocaine in his house, about half a mile southeast of the high school," Cavin said.

"What usually happens is that a member of a gang in L.A. will basically open up his own branch and enlist young people usually from the age of 15 and up," Cavin said.

Perhaps surprisingly, Cavin said that he has not had many calls

from concerned parents or citizens.

"When I was working undercover, we had a drug information hotline, and the only time we would get any phone calls was after we had had a raid and it was brought to public attention," Cavin said. "Then the phone calls would drop off. I don't know if it's lack of concern or what."

"I would get phone calls from parents whose kids were hooked on drugs," Cavin said. "At that point it was too late for me to do anything. At that point they need to seek drug counseling or rehabilitation."

The gangs are making it very attractive by offering a kind of fellowship, a brotherhood and with that comes the violence and the killing.

—Capt. Ron Cavin Edmond Police Department "It's a shame that it got to that point before I was contacted," Cavin said.

Members of the Bloods and the Crips apparently are now living in Edmond and have staked their claims in the city.

"It's my understanding from our intelligence officers that the turf has been decided here in Edmond," Cavin said. "They have cordoned off their own territory.

You can tell by the graffiti what group is claiming what territory."

"We've had prior experiences, but now it seems we have gang members living in Edmond," Cayin said.

Cavin said that several suspects arrested in the past few years have been determined to be gang members, and that there is a prevalence of graffiti on walls and storefronts in Edmond.

Cavin said that gang members r

have their own ways of identifying themselves. Bloods often wear red, Crips wear blue, and members of both gangs have been known to brand themselves with heated wire coathangers shaped into the gangs insignia.

Cavin said that the gang members in Edmond came from gang branches in Midwest City, Del City and Oklahoma City.

It's not easy to understand what the gang appeal is to young people, Cavin said.

"It's difficult to say what attracts gang members. The gangs are making it very attractive by offering a kind of fellowship, a brotherhood, and with that comes the violence and the killing."

Gang activity has increased in the Edmond area, but the incident Saturday was only the second in the past few years of gang on gang violence, Cavin said.

Cavin says that the Edmond police devotes as much manpower as possible to avoid a serious problem.

"We have intelligence officers that continuously gather information in reference to the gangs," Cavin said. "It's a continuous task."

The Edmond police keep in touch with police departments in larger cities who have more experience with the gang problem.

"We've had contact with larger' cities, L.A. and some in Texas. We want to see what problems they've experienced and a what rate the gangs grew," Cavin said. "A lot of the graffiti, only a trained expert can say what that means."

Cavin says that if Edmond citizens suspect gain activity, they can notify the police.

"We keep their name and the information confidential," Cavin said.

Benedict will be speaking from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Ballroom C of University Center. The visit is sponsored by the Campus Organization for a Substance Abuse Free Environment. V

DOE gives schools more drug support

By Barbara Dewailley Staff Writer

The Department of Education will provide $945,865 over the next two years for Oklahoma programs designed to keep students in school and off drugs, Senator Don Nickles said at a recent press conference.

Canadian, Kiowa, Haileyville and Indianola Public schools will receive $297,453, and Central Area Vocational-Technical School at Sapulpa will receive $261,253 for dropout prevention programs.

The University of Oklahoma will receive $143,390 for drug prevention. Cameron University will receive $123,544 and Rose State College will receive $120,225, also for drug prevention.

"We cannot expect our children to become responsible citizens and productive members of society if we cannot provide then with a suitable learning environment,"

Nickles said. "These programs are designed to provide the guidance and skills needed to succeed in the classroom and in the workplace."

Dr. Dudley Ryan, Student Services vice president, said the University of Central Oklahoma received a Department of Education grant in the amount of about $200,000 also for drug prevention programs. It was a two-year grant.

Nickles said he challenges every Oklahoma community to rid its classrooms of drugs and violence and reach out to at—risk students.

The Gainsborough Trio received two standing ovations from the full-house crowd at Mitchell Hall Sunday.

The concert was the first of the 1991-91 University of Central Oklahoma Concert Series sponsored by the Chopin Society of MidAmerica.

The trio, which formed in 1990, includes William Wolfram, piano, Kim Scholes, cello, and Frank Almond, violin. They chose selections by Haydn, Ravel and Brahms for their program.

Wolfram, who lives in Manhat-

tan, graduated from The Julliard School of Music.

Scholes, who has been a featured UCO performer in the past, is assistant professor at the Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University.

Almond received his master's degree from the the Juillard School of Music. From 1989-1991 Almond was artist-in-resident and faculty member at San Diego State University department of music.

The three remaining concerts include Romanian pianist Julien Musafai on October 18; the Singing Boys of Pennsylvania; January 12, and Canadian pianists Nemish and Morel on May 1.

SOUND RETIRF:M IN\'ESTING

rock house

By Kathy Karr Staff Writer

Hundreds of partying University of Central Oklahoma students crammed into the Kappa Sigma house Wednesday to mix,mingle and enjoy the hard rocking sounds of one of OKC's hottest bands, the Dirt Poets.

The house was full to overflowing as the party goers spilled onto the lawn and Ayers Street. The Dirt Poets stuffed themselves and their equipment into the tiny front room of the house and played for three and a half hours, much to the enjoyment of the dancers on the small dance floor.

The band and the dancers didn't seem to suffer from the lack of space.

But everyone enjoyed a good time, as students met fellow collegians and potential Kappa Sig's got to know their future brothers. V

Leming lost for season

By Bill Kramer Sports Editor

Central Oklahoma not only lost 38-14 to Northwest Missouri Saturday but also lost pre-season All-America corner back Leming Mart Leming for the entire year.

Leming left Saturday's game in the first half with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

He'll undergo surgery Tuesday,

according to Sports Information Director Mike Kirk.

The 5-10, 175-pound senior from Sulphur came to UCO as a walk-on in 1988 (playing without a scholarship) and led the team in tackles last year.

Head coach Gary Howard said the loss of Leming will greatly affect the UCO defense.

"He's a great player," Howard said. "Any time you lose a player of his caliber, there's no question it will hurt your team."

Leming earned District 3A-6 Defensive Back of the Year honors and Class 3A All-State recognition as a prep senior at Sulphur (J( 0

She stands above them all. In two words, Shannon Hallahan.

Hallahan, a 6'3, sophomore from Fremont, Calif., is expected to make a big impact for Central Oklahoma's 1991-92 volleyball squad, according to head coach Mark Herrin.

"She's very talented and she fits in well with the whole team," Herrin said.

The 20-year-old talented transfer from the University of Oklahoma has great size for position of the outside hitter, Herrin added.

Hallahan was recognized out of high school by the Unversity of Oklahoma and given a basketball scholarship.

"I was recruited by Valerie Goodwin-Colbert, (former head women's basketball coach) to come to Oklahoma and play basketball for them," says Hallahan.

Seeing limited action at OU, Hallahan said she decided to transfer to UCO to play volleyball. She was a three-year starter in volleyball at Mission San Jose High School and earned All-League honors and team MVP as a prep senior.

An interior design major, Hallahan said the classes offered in her majoring are very interesting "I'm very excited about coming to play here, and I really like my classes," she said.

Younger sister Colleen, fellow outside hitter for the Lady

Bronchos followed her older sister to UCO in pursuit of playing alongside her.

"We get along on the court and off the court," said Colleen.

The 6'0 freshman said she is happy to be playing along with her sister for such a quality team as UCO's.

"I think all the girls are very talented and very nice, and we all get along as a team," Colleen said.

The sisters agree that the only thing they have in common is their last name.

Shannon said she enjoys shopping and loves to read Sidney Sheldon and Dean Arkins books.

In contrast, Colleen said she is more of an outdoors type. She enjoys art and loves to ride horses and would someday like to raise them as well as breed them.

Being so far away from home, Shannon saishe takes pride in caring for her sister, but she tries not to let it get out of hand.

"I try to push my sister a little on the court," she said. "But I try not to be like a parent."

The Hallahans and the rest of the UCO volleyball team have begun a three-week road trip, which winds up Sept. 25 at Oral Roberts.

During the road stint, UCO will also compete in the Missouri Southern Tournament Friday and Saturday and will then travel to Magnolia, Ark., Sept. 20-21 to defend its Southern Arkansas Tournament championship. . The Lady Bronchos (1-0) do not return to Broncho Field House un til Sept. 28. V

Lottery software:small odds to win

Money draws fools like manure draws flies.

And when there's a big pile of money-as in state lotteries-some of the fools are tempted to computerize.

For anywhere from $10-$50, the software suggests-it never actually promises-that reaches abound if only you follow the system. The system being hustled is usually based on the frequency of numbers selected for each week's jackpot.

If you succumb, you're ignoring the most important Law of Computing: TANSTAAFL.

Although it sounds like an AfriUlmer law firm, it can show you why these programs should get a skeptical look.

TANSTAAFL (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch) always asks "Who paying and why?"

If the software company's product did all it suggests, it could have all the money it wanted without selling the hardware.

Lottery software can be fun.

The danger is in believing the hype, so beware. V

Diver dies after shark attack ADELAIDE, Australia (AP)-A 19-year-old diver died Sunday after being mauled by a shark at a popular underwater reef, police said.

The attack occurred about 350 yards off Aldinga Beach, where there had been previous shark sightings.

Seven of the man's fellow divers were in the murky water when the shark attacked, but said they realized they could do nothing except scramble into their boat and fire a flare to summon help.

Police did not release the name of the victim, an Adelaide student.

But many do, and when it becomes unmanagable, some find themselves escaping bankruptcy by seeking the free counseling available at CCCS. If CCCS sees a way to resolve the debts, they can then set up a debt management program in which they contact the creditors and arrange for lower payments.

The consumer then pays a lump

sum to CCCS to disburse to the creditors. This service will cost up to $20 a month, depending on funds available.

Not all CCCS clients have financial troubles, Kelly said. Some will come for help in setting up a budget, or for advice on money management.

But most come with notices from creditors and that is what keeps Kelly in business. V

Woman ordained as priest WASHINGTON (AP)-A dissident black Catholic group ordained a woman as a priest Sunday and appointed her head of the Imani Temple in west Philadelphia.

About 800 people attended the ceremony where Rose Vernell, 50, a former nun and school administrator from New Jersey, was elevated from deacon to priest by Bishop George A. Stalling Jr., who founded the African American Catholic Congregation after leaving th.?, Roman Catholic Church in 1989.

Stallings, 43, also was elevated to archbishop of his Church Sunday.

Immediately before the service, Stallings spoke for about 45 minutes, condemning the Roman Catholic Church and giving his reasons for breaking away.

"We could no longer afford to worship white gods in black houses," Stallings said.

Danny Partridge gets probation RACINE, Wis (AP)-Former child star Danny Bonaduce, best known as the wise-cracking son on "The Partridge Family," doesn't believe his troubles of late will get in the way of his career.

"I have yet to see any doors I couldn't knock down," he said Friday.

If people don't take him seriously, so be it. "I don't do it for anyone's acceptance. It's a business. I do it for the money."

Bonaduce, 32, was placed on three years probation for attacking a transvestite prostitute in Phoenix on March 31. He pleaded guilty in July to endangerment and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault charges. It cost the red-haired, freckled Bonaduce his job as a disc jockey on KKFR-AM in Phoenix.

"I thought it was appropriate," he said. "Anyway, I don't like to stay in one place too long, and I don't like to quit."

Prosecutors obtain conviction from Oklahoma heroin bust OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)-Federal prosecutors have won a conviction in what they say was the largest heroin bust in Oklahoma history.

Kamran Ross, 30, of Houston was convicted in Oklahoma City on Friday on 14 drug and drug-related charges alleging he tried to smuggle 26 pounds of heroin through Oklahoma to New York City.

Authorities say Ross sent couriers to Singapore to obtain the heroin. He and two other men were arrested at LaGuardia Airport in New York City in May as they waited for the herion, which federal agents had seized at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City.

Another defendant, Michael Pearson of Houston, pleaded guilty Friday to a possession charge. Pearson was arrested at Will Rogers when the heroin was seized.

Freddy going to his final rest LOS ANGELES (AP)-"I swear on my mother's honor, this is it," declares actor Robert Englund, right hand raised, about the nasty character he portrays on screen. "There is no more Freddy Krueger. This is the fmal one."

It's hard to believe, but the title tells the tale: "Freddy's Dead:The Final Nightmare." For the sixth time, the evil dreamstalker cuts a murderous swath through Elm Street, Springwood, U.S.A. "We've taken out all the stops," assures Englund. "I don't think New Line will ever spend as much money as they did on this one.

We did it in 3D, we've got actors like Yaphet Kotto. I knew when I read the script that this is the last one."

At this stage in his career, Englund has a love-hate relationship with Freddy: loves what the razor-clawed maniac has done for his career, hates assuming the character.
