SGA budget ignites arguments, diverts dollars to 'start-up fund' By David L. Hanigar
Staff Writer
The new budget for the Student Government Association (SGA) created an "organization start-up fund" and raised an argument in a meeting Monday, an argument which, according to SGA President, is one of many to come. Ben Harris, SGA president, said he has made some radical changes in this year's budget and expects some disagreements. "In the past we've let that budget go to the cost of our government. "Basically I've cut down all the crap and tried to put as much money back to the students or make it available to the students as I could," Harris said. This year's budget cuts expenses in several areas to allow $1,500 for a new "organization start-up fund." The fund will promote the development of new organizations on campus by funding their start-up expenses. This would encourage and help student organizations to

become active, Harris said. Of the two arguments that fed the meeting, however, the creation of the fund was not one of them. "I'm really surprised there were not any questions on that," Harris said. The cuts raised the most attention. The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL), an organization dependent on funding from the SGA, lost $500 with the new budget. That money, plus $100, was divided between the Young Democrats and Collegiate Republicans. "I felt we were being partisan by giving all that money to one organization," Harris said. Even though the two additions are politically sided, by dividing evenly the amount given to each, it is fair, Harris said. By cutting the funding, it encourages OIL to form their own constitution, separating themselves from SGA dependency, and to begin their own fund-raisers, Harris said. V See BUDGET, Page 6

After allegations that some Oklahoma student publications are being censored, investigations to assure the First Amendment rights of three Oklahoma college newspapers are underway by their governing boards. The probes are in response to an Aug. 15 letter from the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ,) who claim the administrators at Southeastern Oklahoma State, East Central and Panhandle State universities are refusing pupils the freedom to control the content in their student publications. After first reading an article about SPJ's allegations in The Vista, Brent Wilcox, former editor of the Journal at Redlands Community College in El Reno recounted similar events happening at his school. SPJ's First Amendment Committee chair Mick Hinton claims that through administrative interference, students at these schools are not being "afforded the freedom the Constitution guarantees." "We're trying to help the students figure out what their current policies are and what they should be," Hinton said. "To see who's in charge." ✓ The SPJ's concerns about the universities' policies include threats of termination to student publication advisors, pressures to tone down and stop publishing "bad news" and refusal by administrators to publish studentwritten stories. In response to the allegations, the advisor to one of the publications has taken Hinton to task for not getting both sides of the story or being objective in his presentation of information.

Censorship an ugly disease, no one immune from grasp
A
nother one bites the dust. The assault on the First Amendment, one of America's most basic freedoms, continues with the story of Brent Wilcox, student editor at the Journal, newspaper of the Redlands Community College in El Reno. Since the publication of The Vista's story about three beleaguered university newspapers, Censored: Taking Words from the Mouths of College News Presses, reaction has ranged from indignation to surprise that the problem is not more widespread. Local media from the Daily Oklahoman to KWTV-Channel 9 to the Edmond Sun have joined the drumbeat publicizing the plight of advisors, editors and students who have dared to fly in the face of administrators across the state. It's not enough. Trouble is—when the First Amendment doesn't work on college campuses, it causes a lot more than just ignorance of what's going on around campus with administration, whether the subject is parking or raising fees. The cancer of eroding the First Amendment gives those in authority an imagined impunity—an idea that they are `bullet proof,' and don't have to answer to the public, students or anyone. And it's contagious. It starts at one level, then it grows legs. Moving to the "information stream," the cancer is carried along the currents until it pervades and completely destroys the host. The cancer travels from students to professionals, from administrations to public officials, from student newspapers to major newspapers, radio and television, from local government to the White House. We only have to look at the many examples around the world to see the costs of the loss of free journalistic expression—dictatorships, war, mass protests squelched as if they never happened. We commend the efforts of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Board of Regents for their continued investigation of allegations at the Journal in East Central in Ada, The Southeastern at Southeastern Oklahoma State in Durant, The Collegian at Panhandle State in Goodwell, and now the Journal at Redlands in El Reno.

Sports schedules on a 'different level'
/
recently enrolled in a course at UCO. While waiting in line, I noticed two separate stacks of fall sports schedules lying on the counter. Being an avid sports enthusiast and a collegiate athlete myself, I promptly picked up both the UCO football team's and the women's volleyball team's schedule. Although the two schedules are similar in size, they are very different in style. Sitting side by side, these two schedules reveal a sharp con-
tract. The football schedule displays a photograph of a team member running with the ball. The women's volleyball schedule, on the other hand, exhibits a cartoon figure of the stereotypical "dumb blonde" with an exaggerated bust and an unrealistically small waistline. This cartoon portrayal of women athletes as sex symbols shows a lack of respect not only for women athletes, but also for women in general. Women athletes devote just
as much time, energy and effort to their sports as their male counterparts, and they deserve more than a cartoon to announce their future dates of competition. I realize that it takes more money to have a photograph of a team member grace the front of a schedule; however, I believe that just the simple words "UCO Lady Bronchos Volleyball Schedule" would be much better than a demeaning cartoon. —Mallory Van Horn UCO student

Featured on the cover of the 1994 UCO Volleyball schedule card is an actual member of the Lady Broncho team, senior Carrie Hare. The drawing is of an actual action picture of Carrie and was done by Mike Morkes of the UCO communications department. There was no intent to depict Carrie as any-
thing but what she is—a volleyball player. The price of the volleyball schedule card was actually quite higher than the football card mentioned and Carrie, an English major who carries a 3.2 grade point average, had no objection to the drawing. —Sports Information Department

accepted as doctors, he said. Barstow's nursing specialty is in the psychiatric field with a primary focus on child abuse. "In the past I think males tended to gravitate towards psychiatric nursing, but not anymore. "Although it's not a major issue, I think there is still some discrimination in the obstetrician and gynecology field, not with the patients, but more with the administration who seem unsure about consumer acceptance of male nurses," said Barstow. Barstow first started teaching at UCO in 1980. He left in 1987 to work overseas, first in El Salvador for a year and then to the Philippines, where he taught health care and sanitation. He returned to UCO in 1990, where he now teaches medical, surgical and psychiatric medicine. Barstow believes that there are excellent career opportunities for men and women in nursing. Nationally there's a shortage of nurses and the projections indicate that the shortage will continue, said Barstow. A wide variety of positions are open such as administrators, teachers, and research, he said. "Twenty years ago nurses mostly worked in hospitals and direct care, but nursing these days is a broad field. "Nursing has been good for me, it has given me many opportunities I wouldn't have had if I had chosen other areas. I don't regret my decision to become a male nurse," said Barstow.

BUDGET Poll shows beliefs inGod, heaven NEW YORK (AP) - The overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God and heaven, but significant minorities of Christians do not believe in such tenets of their religion as the virgin birth, according to the Harris Poll. About 95 percent of those surveyed said they believe in God and 90 percent said they believe in heaven, according to the poll released Sunday. Of the four in five Americans who describe themselves as Christian, 99 percent believe in God, 89 percent in the survival of the soul after death, 87 percent in miracles and 85 percent in the virgin birth of Jesus. Slightly more than three-fourths of the Christians polled believe in the devil and hell. Surprisingly, many non-Christians in the poll ascribe to uniquely Christian beliefs. including 52 percent who believe in the resurrection, and 49 percent in the virgin birth. Belief in other supernatural phenomena is less widespread among Americans, the poll found. Among Christians and nonChristians alike, only 36 percent believe in ghosts. NonChristians are slightly more likely to be among the 37 percent of Americans who believe in astrology. The poll was taken by phone July 25-28 with 1.249 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Polar bear mauls teenage drinkers ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Binky the Polar Bear apparently struck again, mauling a teen-ager who trespassed inside the Anchorage Zoo with friends after drinking alcohol. Joshua J. Huyett, 19, was hospitalized in serious but stable condition with leg injuries after he got too close to the polar bear's cage and was mauled early Sunday morning, Alaska State Troopers said. "He was bleeding pretty bad," said a night watchman, Rodney Van Sciver. "And he was missing his pants and his shoes." Huyett and one of his friends were charged with trespassing and underage drinking of alcohol. Zoo director Sammye Seawell said she couldn't confirm Binky was the attacker. But the watchman said Binky was the only one of the two caged polar bears with blood on its face. It would be the second mauling this year for Binky. The male bear grabbed through the bars of its cage in July and mauled an Australian tourist who climbed over a fence and safety railing for a closer look.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Escalating its campaign to deify the late "Great Leader" Kim II Sung, North Korea has reported that cranes, swallows and bitterns are mourning at his statues. Swallows flocked to one of the statues, "twittering sadly," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in a report Monday. "Scientists and people said 'the swallows seem to be expressing condolences on the death of the fatherly leader before flying to the south,"' the agency said. Last Thursday, on the two-month anniversary of Kim's death, "three little bitterns, a rare bird well known to the world, stayed at the statue of the Great Leader standing at Kim II Sung University in Pyongyang for nearly five hours and a half," the agency skaid. "Watching this mysterious scene never witnessed earlier, scientists and people said 'the swallows seem to be expressing condolences on the death of the fatherly leader before flying to the south,"' the agency said. "Hundreds of white cranes flew to the statue of the Great Leader standing at Kim 11 Sung Military University and were reluctant to leave," the North said, adding that this news was spreading throughout the country as a "revolutionary anecdote."

Doin' what comes naturally Visitors welcome to explore wilderness wonderland By Paul Eddy Staff Writer
Arnik‘, •
Park Ranger Neil Garrison helps some elementary students load rocks onto a dolly. The rocks will be used for an erosion control structure which will keep the pathways from being washed away during heavy rains. (above) Bubo, a 16-year-old great horned owl sits motionless on a stump. Bubo is one of the many resident animals at Martin Park. (right)
A squirrel hurriedly eats food from the box by which it sits. The nature center employees provide handmade boxes, like seen here, containing food for certain animals in the park. (above) Elementary school students handle a live snake at the nature center's educational facilities. The center houses educational books, games, and hands-on exhibits. (right) All activities at the park are free of charge. Donations are accepted.
he snake was basking in the heat of the midday sun, paying no attention to the intruders on the bridge above it. It lay motionless on one of the logs that peeked up from the water like it was one of the surrounding turtles. They seemed to belong there, and they did. They live in Martin Park Nature Center, just west of Edmond. Traversing the bridge, the curious visitors continued their journey. Soon
they came upon an outpost, an outpost of learning. Upon entering, they beheld the sights and sounds of nature in relative safety, although the danger was present in the form of Bubo, a great horned owl. "...He's lost his fear of humans," said the rather tall, thin man who seemed to be in charge of the outpost (Steve Thompson, assistant naturalist and adjunct professor of biology at UCO). The sign by Bubo read "I Bite." Feeling ready, the visitors set off into the wilds. First they carefully approached squirrels feeding on offerings from the park, which were actually meant for the almost 200 species of birds that visit the park. They then peered into the water where other visitors were tossing in offerings to the approaching turtles. With around two-and-a-half miles of trails and 140 acres to choose from, the visitors wandered farther away from the outpost. They soon came upon an observation post from which they spied a town of prairie dogs, which they decided to investigate further.
Staff Photos by Christopher Smith
On their way to the prairie dog town, the visitors stopped at the edge of a stream and watched as several young visitors and their mothers frolicked in the water. From the edge of the stream, they continued on their way. Soon the visitors came upon a group of young children known as the Green Earth Gang, a volunteer group, and park naturalist Neil Garrison moving rocks. The Green Earth Gang helps with work at the nature center, and then goes hiking, fishing or swimming. Garrison explained that he and the Green Earth Gang were moving rocks to stop erosion. The visitors took a side excursion to a bridge which rose high over the water where fish and turtles partook of tidbits flung over the side to them. After viewing this display, the visitors set out and finally reached the prairie dog town. The prairie dogs were up in numbers, scanning for danger while the visitor hid behind a fence and observed them. After awhile, the visitors headed back towards the outpost. Along the way, they spotted a writhing mass upon a tree, curious...they approached, and discovered that it was, in actuality, a beehive in the making. The visitors slowly walked back to their car, stopping at the first bridge where the snake was still basking on the log below. Tours are available for groups, or one can traipse through the woods at random. For more information on Martin Park Nature Center, call 755-0676.

Rocky start puts Fort Hays State in 0-2 hole
UCO harriers head to Oklahoma Christian The Central Oklahoma men's and women's cross country teams head to Oklahoma City for their second meet of the young season, competing in the Oklahoma Christian Invitational Saturday at Oklahoma Christian University. The women begin the competition with the 5,000-meter race slated to start at 10 a.m. The men will follow with the 8,000-meter run at 10:30 a.m. Last week at the West Texas A&M Invitational, the men's team notched a third-place showing while the women finished fourth. "We weren't worried about how well we compared to other teams," said Head Coach Paul Parent. "We wanted to get a reading on how we measure up to our own expectations." The men were led by sophomore Darrell Jeffries and junior Quendell Miller. Jeffries finished in ninth place in the 10K with a time of 36:44 while Miller finished 10th with a time of 36:46. Both finishes were career highs. The women were paced by freshman Lezlie Zielny and Cherika Bartells in the 5K with 19th and 21st place finishes respectively.
Potent offense offset by lack of strong defense By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer
After last week's dominating defeat of Southwestern, the undefeated 16th ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos travel to Hays, Kan. Saturday to battle the 0-2 Fort Hays State University Tigers. FHSU is coming off an 8-4 season winning, the 1993 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championship. The Tigers return 17 starters off last season's team that fell to the Bronchos 30-0 in Edmond. "Fort Hays has gotten off to a bad start, but they have a good football team with a lot of talented players," said UCO Head Coach Gary Howard. On offense, eight starters return for the Tigers. Leading the cast of returning starters are senior quarterback Dustin McEwen and senior fullback Clint Bedore. McEwen passed last year for 1,550 yards and 10 touchdowns and was 118-of-254 passing. McEwen is 26-of-58 for 382 yards passing and two TDs this season. Moving from tailback to FB, to make room for former University of Oklahoma standout TB Ernest Williams, Bedore has only 59 yards rushing on 17 carries. Last season he rushed for 1,619 yards on 277 carries. Through two games Williams has rushed for 112 yards on 24 carries. In its 0-2 start, FHSU has averaged 313.5 yards a game in total offense but the defense is giving up 346. FHSU returns nine starters on defense, led by linebacker Jose Salcido, who has accounted for 21

Leading the Bronchos Saturday will be Lone Star Conference Player of the Week QB Stanley Pena who went 5-of-7 for 166 yards and three touchdown passes.

Chris Mahen scored twice and the defense turned in a strong effort as the University of Central Oklahoma soccer club's men's team won for the first time this indoor season, blanking Knights II 6-0 Sept. 11 at Chico's Soccer Villa. The Bronchos (1-2) took an early first-half lead on Mahen's first goal less than five minutes into the game. With 15:38 left in the first half, Mike Webber scored to give UCO a 2-0 lead. Greg Dinwiddie got the assist. Dinwiddie also set up the next goal, a shot by Hosteen Walsh that gave the Bronchos a 3-0 lead with 15 minutes remaining in the match. After being replaced by Kevin Townsend, starting goalkeeper Brian Colley moved out of the net and scored the fourth UCO goal. Mahen and Erik DeArriba scored the final two goals. UCO will face the Wolves in their next indoor match Sept. 18.
Off to the best start in school history at 9-0, the Lady Bronchos swept to a first place finish at the Lady Lions Pro-Am Invitational Sept. 9-10. UCO began play Friday facing a good team from Drury College. The Lady Bronchos dropped game one, 14-16, but weren't quite ready to lose just yet, wining game two, 15-10. Drury took game three 12-15, forcing UCO to win the next two games to remain undefeated. The Lady Bronchos took game four 15-8 and followed with a 1513 game five victory to give them the match. "The girls played fantastic," said Head Coach Mark Herrin. "We made a great comeback to win our first match and that kind of sparked us. Everybody contributed and everybody played well, but we can't afford to get complacent now." And they didn't get complacent, beating Pittsburg State 3-1 in their second game of the day. The Lady Bronchos came out on fire creaming PSU 15-1 in game

The Lady Bronchos lost game one 11-15 but came back to win the next three 15-8, 15-13 and 150 to claim their third win of the tournament. UCO then swept host Missouri Southern 3-0. UCO has moved within two wins of the longest wining streak in school history. But, there is a small problem. After meeting Oral Roberts Tuesday, UCO begins conference play. The first home game is Friday against Angelo State at Hamilton Field House and then Abilene Christian Saturday. Here's the catch: The Lady Bronchos have never beaten ASU in 13 tries. "We've played well, but now we get to the important part of the season with conference play," said Herrin. Herrin is just two victories shy of 100 victories. Friday and Saturday's games begin at 7 p.m.

"Neither I nor any of the students staffing the Journal were contacted as to the veracity of those 'facts, — said Rebecca Kennedy, advisor to the East Central Journal, in her letter to Hinton. The SPJ alleged Kennedy, also the public information director at East Central, ordered that certain press releases be used in the Journal. "...I have yet to discover a newspaper which does not use press releases as a part of its supply of stories..." Kennedy said. "The Journal selectively uses press releases...for providing information to its readers." SPJ's letter alleges that Kennedy told journalism instructor Mary Bishop the paper did not need student-produced stories. Kennedy said the asser✓ tion was "ludicrous." "If the Journal did not indeed have students writing the stories on its pages, there would not be a weekly Journal," Kennedy said. As a member of SPJ, Kennedy asked whether the organization had declared itself "judge and jury where the Constitution and First Amendment guilt or innocence is concerned." "While I feel personally wronged by the attack on the Journal, I am most enraged by the shadow this letter has cast on the exemplary students who labor long and hard to make the Journal a good newspaper," Kennedy wrote. "It's quite a lesson in journalistic objectivity and investigation, a lesson that should not have been made at their expense." Hinton said the SPJ is "not looking for a defense" from Kennedy regarding her practices at the university, but is simply trying to ascertain what is happening on ECU's campus.

Remembering homecoming: The way we were By Sheila Nunnelee
Staff Writer ooking through the faded Bronze books, seeing the years printed on tired pages, I was amazed by the difference in appearance of the classes from each decade. The classes in 1914 through the early twenties were small and the students extremely young. Waved, chin-length bobbed hair, framed faces with serious expressions on every page of the '20s yearbooks. During the next few decades, the pictures seemed warmer, the classes larger. Each class had its own style and attitude. Net skirts with hoops were slipping out of style, making way for cashmere sweaters and straight wool skirts to become the latest fad when Annette Ryan attended UCO in the early 60s. Annette, a worker in the Archives/ Special Collections in Evans Hall, pointed out her young frame among many ladies standing
staircase, each a picture of femininity and class. The women who attended UCO weren't allowed to wear jeans or shorts, so it was a special privilege to be allowed to wear slacks on Fridays. To celebrate any kind of good news, Annette's circle of friends would have pizza or go to the movie theater that was located where Garfields restaurant now sits in downtown Edmond. The movie theater where admission was a mere 35 cents was downstairs, and the hospital was upstairs. Going to the movies or eating out however, could not possibly come before homecoming. Football games were a highlight, with homecoming, the event of the year. Organizations would begin work a week before the parade was scheduled on the various floats that would represent their name. Some students would flunk their six-weeks tests because of working to perfect the float for their groups, instead of studying. The time spent building the floats at the County Fair barns was a time of socializing and getting to know other students better. Annette's sorority won first place with their float for Sigma Sigma Sigma. The whole town would turn out for the parade, and it was exciting for the groups to see their hard work being judged in the parades, Annette said. Living in the dorms was a completely different experience for students in the 60s. Today, residents want 24-hour visitation, when 30 years ago, they had a curfew of 10 p.m. during the week and 1 a.m. on the weekend, complete
with bed checks on each floor to make sure that everyone was in their MOM.
The night of homecoming, however, the curfew would be waived. The dorms would be filled with the excitement of girls getting ready for the homecoming game. Everyone would wear nice dresses and have their hair fixed for the game, even if it was hot, Annette said. They would go to the games dressed up because of the dance that everyone would go to afterward.
By the end of the night, Annete would be exhausted from the activities. She looks back at the years that she spent at UCO as a time of friendship and fun, and the homecoming events were a special time to see graduates returning. After looking through the old Bronze books and hearing about people my age in college, I realize each person makes history with the activities they are involved in and the things they accomplish. Homecoming will definitely be a part of history that will interest people in the years to come.

UCO graduate 'on guard' with remote tracking By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer These days law enforcement budgets are squeezed to the hilt and corrections officials are forced to find new ways for inmates to serve out their sentences. And with the growing population of non-violent offenders, often the alternative of building a new prison is not cost-effective, forcing the state to consider new possibilities. Technology now allows law enforcement officials to keep track of convicted felons as they serveout prison sentences on the preparole program at home in their own communities, said John Martin, a parole officer (PO) with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections (DOC) with a masters in criminal justice from UCO. ✓ From radio tracking devices that report when an inmate is AWOL to computerized monitoring systems that call the inmate at home to chat and make sure he's home, electronic monitoring programs (EMPs) have come to serve as the prison guard of the future.

Russian artist enjoys brave new life in 'new world' By Jason Webb
Staff Writer January, 1992 : High above the Manhattan Harbor, Lady Liberty stands tall—head erect and torch held high. She calls out her welcome throughout the whole world, beckoning for 'whosoever will,' to come. For about 100 years, a countless number of immigrants have answered her call, including a young, Russian artist finally fulfilling his dreams of coming to America. Igor Koutsenko had reached his destination. When Koutsenko reached America, he could speak very little English, but quickly found the help of strangers wherever he went. "When I came to America, all I could say was three words —yes, no and 'rock and roll,"' said Koutsenko as he laughed. "I learned to speak by listening first, and watching TV." After about two days in New York, Koutsenko made his way to Oklahoma, where he reunited with some old friends from Russia. Finally, Koutsenko heard about a job opening at the UCO art department, and applied. "I have a friend, Cameron Eagle, who used to work here," explained the artist in his newly learned language. "He told me about the position, and I apply, and I get the job," he said . Koutsenko is now an adjunct professor for UCO; teaching Drawing I. When he is not teaching, he still produces pen and ink art work. A husband and the father of ten year-old daughter, Sonya, Koutsenko completed his four–year school career and moved to Moscow, where he

lived for five years. Koutsenko described Moscow as being filled with good art schools and exhibitions, and being rich with traditions. He described working on Arbat street, a special street for free-lance artists. "If you feel bad sometimes— not in the mood to work, not in the mood to draw— you just have to go someplace, there are lots of different exhibitions all the time—hundreds and thousands of them." Fidgeting about looking for the right words, Koutsenko explained Russia is very old and filled with traditions, while America, being very young, does not have as many traditions. "Orthodox Christianity is the basic religion there, and long time ago, there were some artists there, some monks, they did great icons." Koutsenko further explained the icons with hand gestures, saying, "It is painting on wood, it was in churches everywhere, and traditional art in Russia was based on this very old religious painting." This native of Evpatoria in west Crimea currently has 16 pieces of art
work on display at the UCO Central Museum of Art. Koutsenko said inspiration for his art comes from life experiences. "You know, every person is trying to get some harmony. I'm trying to get this feeling, trying to explain myself." "Sometimes when I drive the car, the weather is perfect, the highway is very good. I have good feeling, I feel good. Then I push button and there is some music, it is exactly this music for this moment, or like, my favorite song or something, and sometimes, in this moment, I feel something in here," Koutsenko said pointing to his back. "Very best cases is when I draw, I have this feeling." Koutsenko said that becoming a full-time professor is not in his immediate plans. "I do not have this kind of plans yet. Of course, it is very interesting for me to teach. I'm enjoying this. But, right now I just start, so maybe it's a little bit too early to talk about it.
"It's always natural for people to get some more, to be somebody," said Koutsenko. "It's just natural."

Acting season comes alive by dealing 'lightly with death By Paul Eddy Staff Writer The two act play Shadowbox will open the performing season 8 p.m., Sept. 29 at UCO, said Don Bristow, director of theatre. The play was written in the late 1970s by Michael Christofer and deals with the affect that terminal cancer has on three different people in Northern California, said Bristow. "The play is definitely a serious play. It is not grim, and it certainly has some humor to it," said Bristow. The play is being held in the Pegasus Theatre because Mitchell Hall is being renovated.
September 15 , 1994
We picked Shadowbox because the set and play will fit comfortably in Pegasus," said Bristow. The play should run about two hours in length, and will have nine actors, five men and four women, said Bristow. "The actors have told me that the play isn't about death. It's -
about life and how these people are dealing with the last of their lives," said Bristow. There will be four performances of the Shadowbox at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and a matinee at 2 p.m on Sunday. For more information, call 341-2980, Ext. 5512.
