Nigh asks for input on fifth college

Blood labs agree to pay millions over false claims WASHINGTON (AP) — Two of the nation's largest independent blood testing laboratories have agreed to pay S39.8 million to settle allegations they submitted false Medicare claims for unnecessary blood tests. The agreement announced Monday by the Justice Department settles claims with MetPath, a division of Corning Lab Sefvices headquartered in Teterboro, NJ., and MetWest, headquartered in Tarzana, Calif. Assistant Attorney General Frank W. Hunger, who heads the department civil division, said the two labs manipulated doctors into receiving medically unnecessary test results for HDL (high density lipoprotein), total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and protein bound glucose (PBG) whenever doctors ordered certain basic, automated blood tests. In similar cases earlier this year, National Health Laboratories Inc. of La Jolla, Calif., agreed to pay $111.4 million and Med-Chek Laboratories Inc. of Pittsburgh agreed to pay $2.4 million to settle accusations of overbilling,
Mitterrand blows chunks in Korea SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — French President Francois Mitterrand became ill and vomited into a handkerchief today during a guestbook signing ceremony at South Korea's presidential mansion. The incident was similar to that of former President Bush, who vomited and fell under a table while dining with Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa in January 1992. Bush had flown to Japan from Korea. Mitterrand was rushed by aides and security guards to a restroom in the mansion, aides told reporters. He vomited and remained in the restroom about 20 minutes, Korean presidential aides said. 1, See World Wrap, Page 10

A move to receive input about adding a fifth college, the College of Fine Arts, is little more than tossing around an idea and seeing how it flies, said George Nigh, University of Central Oklahoma president. "It's not even proposed," Nigh said. "It's a review as to whether or not that is something that we want to do—it's a consideration," he said. The idea calls for dividing the College of Liberal Arts and adding two departments from the College of Education to form a College of Fine Arts. Schools of Music, Theater, Visual Arts and Communications would make up the college. Nigh said he will consider all concerns by faculty regarding the break-up of the Liberal Arts college to form the new college. "I say 'let me know what you think. Let me know if it's a good idea that we have a Fine Arts College.' "It's a pretty simple issue," Nigh said, "either yes it is. or no it isn't." "I met with the Chairs from all of the colleges two weeks ago," Nigh said, "and told them that we were talking about makSee NIGH, Page 7
Administration welcomes new faculty members By Steve Sager Staff Writer "Welcome to the University of Central Oklahoma," said Clyde Jacob at a reception for new faculty on Tuesday. Jacob, the vice president of academic affairs, was the first speaker at the reception
held in the University Center Ballroom A. The new faculty received refreshments, cookies and fruit along with the opportunity to meet several of the administrators and faculty on campus. "The intent of this function is to socialize, to mingle and to get to know one another," said Jacob. Jacob said that one of the problems on
campus was that, with the growth, often times faculty stay within their department and don't get the opportunity to meet other faculty on campus. UCO President George Nigh was also on hand to welcome the new faculty. Nigh also spoke of the expansion and some of the problems that have come about V See FACULTY, Page 7

Thinking big not necessary for donations, care Though donations to world causes like flood relief, hurricane relief, AIDS research and starving children are essential and worthy of attention, it is important not to neglect smaller local organizations. When highly publicized disasters occur in America or in other countries, it is easy to forget local organizations who need donation money as well. However, in the face of catastrophes, the homeless still starve, the animals still suffer and children still get sick. It is possible to split donation money. How the money is split is not so much the issue as the fact that some of it goes to local charities. For instance, if a person should desire to send $50 to flood relief, he could instead send S40 and donate S10 to a local organization. Starving children in Third World countries is a tragedy; however, children are starving in America, too. Every town has a charity to help hungry kids here. Most people donate to causes that help the homeless around Thanksgiving and Christmas. What is sometimes forgotten is that the homeless are hungry or need shelter year round. Even as AIDS kills hundreds every year, other diseases like leukemia, muscular dystrophy and cancer build a death toll as well Non-monetary donations like food and clothing are needed locally as well as nationally. Nearly all communities have a Goodwill that accepts donations of clothes and other miscellaneous items. Another worthy donation that can be used locally is blood. Several times a year, the Red Cross and other organizations hold blood drives that do not cost donors a penny. Every day, hundreds, even thousands, of dogs and cats are destroyed because local shelters cannot feed them or have them adopted. Although education doesn't compare with world disaster, donations to a local scholarship fund helps everyone. Sending a student to college ensures the future of America and the growth of knowledge. Donations can help all charities if split up right. Though it is necessary and kind to give to the larger causes, the smaller ones need help, too.

Reader complains about 'biased reporting'
R
egarding the two recent Vista articles concerning Elmer Lee Miller's administration problems atUCO, I'm sorry, but I just couldn't let this one pass. I would first like to address the Sept. 2, 1993, article written by Heide Brandes and Joe Umbarger concerning Elmer Lee Miller's admission problems at UCO. I couldn't help but notice the charming (NOT!) skill of biased reporting they employed in said article for our reading enjoyment. If they hone this skill to a finer edge, maybe when they graduate they can go to work for The Daily Oklahoman. I am intrigued by the proMiller/con-administration slant presented, illustrating the all-powerful UCO administration putting a stop to a previous student's desire to further his education. Admission denied!, here is your money back, please exit the dorm now. Almost convincing when you first read it, one student, trying to make it, but cut down by "the bad guy" UCO administration. Like the UCO administration doesn't care. They 1 care. That is why his enrollment was canceled. They are enforcing the policy quoted on Page 19 of the UCO student handbook. I support this policy. I surmise that UCO was concerned over the safety of the student body more so than a convicted felon's desire for a master's degree. As stated in the 8-31-93 edition, "Mr. Miller was a UCO student in 1985 when the rapes were committed." I would
be very upset if they didn't consider the safety of the students first. Consider the situation if the school allowed Mr. Miller to live in the co-ed dorms. If /lived in the residence halls on campus, knowing the school allowed a convicted rapist to also live there, it would concern and upset me very much, to say the least. Now, about the second quote from the UCO student handbook, Page 42, about the administration's approach towards students, it's in the same paragraph as the first quote. Note these two quotes used to show a "two-facedness" as far as school policy goes. EXCUSE ME! I was not aware that it is University policy to rehabilitate criminals. This is a University, not therapy. Recognize the difference. Learn it. Remember it. I would also like to ask Dr. Richard P. Rettig, Sociology chairperson, a question or two. Having read your favorable comments aboutMr. Miller's academic work, "superior to work by average students." Well, that's nice, but its NOT THE POINT, IS IT?! Mr. Miller's intelligence is not the issue. We know he' s intelligent. We know he does his work. He has FOUR degrees from here, and is seeking a fifth. Not bad, considering most of us are still working on one. I acknowledge Mr. Miller's academic accomplishments during his incarceration. He's proved his smarts. Four degrees is nothing to sneeze at, but its not like he didn't have any free time. At the
same time, I support Mr. Miller's desire to help others overcome their obstacles, and use his experience in his plans to work in the criminal justice field. I read the Campus Quotes secdon, 9-2-93 also. I would like to ask Melissa Breeden, John Carson, Cindy Joy and probably Jeff Alldredge some questions. When you were asked this question, were you aware or informed of the person in question's specific crime? Would you feel different about this if the crime had been arson? Child molestation? Murder? What would have been your answer if YOU had been one of Mr. Miller's victims, or if it had been a member of YOUR family, YOUR best friend? Would it still be "ridiculous?" And at four degrees, I think he's been allowed his education. How much would that "skeleton" in the closet bother you? Would YOU consider the time served enough? Would he ever be able to serve enough time to make up for what he did to you? Think about it. Rape is not like a candy bar you lift from a store. You can't take it back and everything's soon okay, again. It's not an "accident," or "I didn't mean to do it." It's a very serious mater. I've known rape victims. It affects your life profoundly, and I don' t mean in a four degree way, either. But you should already know this. I know this letter is long, but I just couldn't let this one pass. —

Student disagrees with sports editor about UCO intramural sports This letter is in direct reply to the article published on Page 10 of the Sept. 14, 1993 issue of The Vista. Justin Harper, the writer of "Intramural Arguing isn't name of the game," should take time out from pointing out the bad aspects of competition and focus on informing new students and freshmen about the possibilities that Intramurals offer. I believe that if I was a new student/freshman and I read this article that I may have got a negative outlook on I.M. sports before they have even begun. His focus is on telling us that our "Natural Instincts" as men and women human beings are wrong. Competition is what our country and society is based upon. Intramurals allow hesitant and shy students to form new friendships with others and get involved in something on Our campus. In direct reply with the author's reference to the fact that "the fault lies with the participants" and that the "wanna be's" and the "ornery fraternity club" ruin the game is preposterous. First of all, the fault will of course lie mostly with the participants because there are 20 of us on the field and two student referees. And who says that intramurals isn't for "wannabe' s"? I believe the whole reason for I.M. sports is for those who wanna be involved, wanna be interacting with fellow students, wanna be competitive, and wanna be tested within themselves, and so of course there will be "wanna be's" out there. And finally the reference to what he calls "ornery" fraternities. I believe calling fraternities on the campus of UCO "mean in disposition and temper" is uncalled for. The Greek system on our campus is growing very rapidly right now. They provide many service projects for the community and campus such as fundraisers, charitable donations, and being very involved with activities on campus. Being very actively involved in a fraternity myself, I believe that I can speak for most all the Greek system in saying that I.M. sports not only allows us to have competition with each other but focus on a common goal. We all have great respect for each house and what others do. Intramurals allows us to take down our guards and compete in an organized way. I am sure that not everyone shares the same views or opinion on what they get out of competition from I.M. But for some students these gatherings may be the only things that they get involved
with on campus. Putting negative rible.

Student Writer A man is talking to you in a soothing voice, telling you to relax. You think you're talking long distance to your best friend, tellincl him everything about the date you had last weekend. You reach over to hang up the phone and realize you're been talking into your shoe! Is this mind control? According to R.E. Bellows, Ph.D of psychology and hypnosis, the answer is "No!" Bellows came to the University of Central Oklahoma last Thursday to demonstrate the power of the mind and to show that hypnosis is not mind control. "You can not make a person say, do, see or act out anything against their morals just because they're under hypnosis," said Bellows. Hypnosis is an altered state where the mind relaxes and the subject allows themselves to react to suggestions. Bellows said the myths of hypnosis are incorrect and he attempted to break down the myths through his demonstrations. "There's been so many myths and false concepts produced by the media about hypnosis; that it's the occult, that it's sorcery, witchcraft, Satan-demon possession, satanic powers; it's none of these things, " Bellows said. "It's a very valid science of the mind." During the performance, Bellows stiffened a young lady's body, put her between two chairs and stood on her. She did not fall, move or scream out. "It's her mind doing it," said Bellows, "not the power in me. I don't have any power over anybody." Other willing participants vol-

Bellows said that not everyone is going to be able to relax at a certain time, under certain pressures. If the mind is preoccupied, then it can not reach a relaxed state called hypnosis, he said. Hypnosis is currently being used by army field surgeons and dentists. Every major hospital has a member on staff able to perform hypnosis.
Bellows has practiced in the Edmond area since 1973 and has traveled the country with his demonstrations for 27 years. Bellows no longer does clinical work with the exception of emergencies due to his work with getting kids off drugs.

The Psychology behind the Citibank ClassicVisa card, and the emotional security of the Photocard. The Citibank Classic Visa instills in students feelings of safety, security, and general wellness not unlike those experienced in the womb. Therefore, it is the mother of all credit cards. 91Some experts attribute these feelings to the Citibank Photocard, the only credit card with your photo on it. A voice inside says, "This is me, really me." (As opposed to, "Who the heck is that?"—a common response to the photo on one's driver's license.) It's an immediate form of
ID, a boost to your self-image. 91 Of course if your card is ever lost or stolen and a stranger is prevented from using it, you'll feel exceptionally good (showing no signs of Credit Subject suffering from Credit Card Theft Nervosa.

From chickens to Comedy Corner, UCO alumnus finds success By Carol Cole Mills Staff Writer
Acting like a chicken with it's head cut off led to big things for comedian and University of Central Oklahoma alumnus Kuff Blue. He was only eight — but he knew he was funny. Growing up on a farm in Spivey's Corner, N.C., "an intersection," Blue had lots of opportunities to mimic a chicken that had just met his maker. Blue would flop around on the ground — with the chicken — while onlookers roared with laughter. "You can just imagine what a mess that was," laughed Blue. "That chicken blood was everywhere." Blue recently opened for Bob Kubota and Deborah Swisher at Bricktown's Comedy Corikr‘ Admitting "Kuff Blue" is not his real name, Blue sug-
gested that students and faculty might remember him from his stint on UCO radio, KCSC. "Just thumb through the yearbook," says the 1990 UCO graduate, grinninil mischieviously. Blue said he adopted his stage name from a much-loved uncle named Kuff. Although that uncle has been dead for several years, Blue said he knows he would be proud. Appearing in clubs from Dallas to Indianapolis, Blue has performed with NightCourt's Marsha Warfield, In Living Color's A.J. Jamal, Kozak, Sam Gutman, Steve Harvey, Captain Rowdy and Dave Cusamano. Blue said he draws his inspiradon for his act JM talking and watching peor He said he has always adm:: _A old movie comics, particularly Milton Berle, Ernie Kovacs and Lucille Ball. "We all have so many things in common as people," said Blue. "What I look for is the humor in any situation, and believe me there's lots."
Blue said his degree in oral communications from UCO prepared him for his career as a comedian. "You have to learn to communicate when you're a comedian," said Blue. "I learned so much about stage presence and how to project to people when I was getting my degree." Blue' s first stage experience was at Oklahoma City's Good Times Club in 1984. That club no longer features comedy. He indicated that he started out scared and he is always scared when he performs. "If you start to get over it," said Blue. "You're probably done as a comedian." Blue credits Oklahoma City's Comedy Corner with providing his biggest break so far. "The chance to perform at Comedy Corner is great because of the exposure and the quality of comedians they bring in," said Blue. "All of the comedians (headliners) have been on HBO, Showtime or one of the late night talk shows. Plus they treat you right here."

Kuff Blue And tongue in cheek, Blue departed for his performance by saying he's glad Jesse Jackson didn't get elected President of the United States. "One of the first things he'd do is change the national anthem," said Blue. "To something like that little M.C. Hammer tune—Too Legit' to Quit." Blue said he is happily making a living these days as a comedian. Rating his act "G", he said even grandma can enjoy his style of comedy.

UCO karate club fights for existence By Joy McNutt Staff Writer
*
The "Wild Bunch," the University of Central Oklahoma's karate club, recently lost its meeting place in Wantland Hall, said Sam Murray, president of the club. The karate club was cited for non-compliance with the organizational guidelines stated in the University of Central Oklahoma's student handbook, said Susan Th-
ompson, student activities director. The club will undergo a review after homecoming, she said. "Maybe they have gotten out of touch with the rules and regulations required," she said. Anyone who is unsure of the rules regarding clubs on campus can check the student handbook. UCO still offers the beginning karate course but, since there is no sparring in the class, students remain white belts, said Bret Bryan, karate instructor. "This is not a self-defense class,"
he said. "It teaches you the most basic of karate and it gives you options for self-defense." He said they teach some of the things that are easily learned, but in a self-defense class, one would learn proven self-defense techniques that work in different situations. "The only way to remain current on those is to constantly work," Bryan said. "If you learn techniques, but you're not working them all the time, then when something happens, and you need
it, it's not there." Club members are now searching for a new place to work out, Bryan said. Temporarily, they are working out in a park to keep current, he said. Until this fall, students had the option of moving up in rank in UCO's karate club once they had learned the basics in the academic karate class. Karate student Matthew Fithian said he took a fencing course at UCO and in the fencing club he was able to further his skills and
get individual attention. "It operated under the same guidelines that the karate club does. And now because rules are being enforced, or being found to be enforced, I'm definitely missing the quality that I got through fencing, taking the karate class," Fithian said. UCO's karate club originated in 1983 when Dr. Homer Coker helped set up the charter and bylaws and satisfied the sponsor requirement, said Tim Nagode, instructor for the club.

ing some changes and that I would appreciate anybody making any suggestions to me that they had. "I told them that the regents are meeting in October and it is my desire to go to the regents with the concept of whether or not we would look at creating a fifth college," Nigh said. "If we do decide to go in October, and they (regents) give us permission, then well spend from October (`93) to next September (`94) putting it together." Nigh has to make a decision by Oct. 7—the last date to have a proposal placed on the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges agenda before their Oct. 14 meeting. Monday, Clifton Warren, dean of the college of liberal arts, collected suggestions from faculty about the plan and submitted them to Nigh for input. In a meeting closed to the public, Nigh met again Wednesday with department chairs to seek their input. Nigh said Fine Arts colleges are located at other universities and offer many benefits.

IRONICALLY, THE TIME TO START SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.
C
an't afford to save for retirement? The truth is, you can't afford not to. Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 30 years or more. You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax-deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 3o and you can accumulate over $172,109* by the time you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you'll have to budget $219 each month to reach the same goal.
Even ifyou're not counting the years to retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF to help you build the future you deserve— with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal service that spans 75 years. Over a million people in education and research put TIAA-CREF at the top of their list for retirement planning. Why not join them?

Noises Off to begin season for UCO performing arts By Rodney Gordon Student Writer Michael Frayn's play, Noises Of will begin the University of Central Oklahoma's performing arts season Sept. 23 in Mitchell Hall Theatre. Roberta Sloan, director and assistant professor of Oral Communications, said the play portrays backstage fiascoes during rehearsal and production of the play itself. Noises Off premiered in London for the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 1980s, has been performed on Broadway and was made into a movie with an all-star cast headed by Carol Burnett, Sloan said. The ensemble cast at UCO includes Darren Park as Selsdon, Renee Krapff as Poppy, Steven Schroder as Fredrich, Presly Morton as Dotty, Matt Boethin as Garry, Laura Harpence as Brooke, Fawnda Mc Mahan as Belinda, Kevin

The main trade agreement would eliminate tariffs and other barriers to the movement of goods, services and investment among the three nations over a 15-year period. Congress must approve the agreement but the White House, hoping to build support for the troubled pact over time, will not submit the necessary legislation until later this fall.

Edmond, UCO police buckle down on speed zone violators By Shelly Clark Student Writer

Do motorists pay attention to flashing warning lights indicating a speed zone? If not, someone in a black and white car or on a motorcycle may be. The fines for speeding in a school zone differ throughout the state. As reported in the Sept. 3 issue of The Daily Oklahoman, the lowest fine for speeding is $40, and the highest fine is $209. The fine for speeding in a school zone in the City of Edmond is $122, no matter how many miles over the speed limit the driver is going. According to GeraldDixon, public information officer for the Edmond Police Department, the officer does have discretionary power as to the number of miles over the speed limit they will let pass. "You have to enforce school zones strictly because children are involved", said Dixon. Doug Walker, Accident Investigator for Edmond, said the only reason citations are written are to "reduce accidents and injury accidents." "You have to slow people down, and sometimes, to get their attention, you have to take bucks out of their pocket," he said.
The speed limit is 30mph north of 3rd Street and 25 mph from 3rd to Ayers. At UCO, the speed limit is 25mph around the perimeter of the school with the exception of Ayers which is 20 mph. The speed limit in parking lots is 10 mph. The fine for speeding at UCO

is $87. Percentages of the $87 goes to CLEET (Council on Law Enforcement, Education and
Training), victims witness program, LINC ( a computer system that links the UCO Police Department with the Department of Corrections), court costs and the Public Defenders Office, said Sergant Ted Jones of the UCO police. After a citation is issued at UCO, the ticket goes to Oklahoma County where the fine must be paid or an appearance in court is made. Failure to pay the fine or appear in court results in the suspension of the motorist's drivers license and a bench warrant is issued. If the driver is pulled over again, he or she will be taken to the county jail, said Jones. At UCO, approximately four tickets are written per clay. "Running traffic depends on how many officers are on the shift and what shift it is," said officer Coy Gilbert. UCO will receive two new radar guns this semester. The campus police is warning people to "watch out."

and keep it, Iverson said he didn't mind as long as he gave the kitten a good home. As for the future, Iverson said he expects more kittens. "Where there's two kitties, there are going to be kittens."
Humans are not the only residents on the University of Central Oklahoma campus. In addition to a wayward skunk or two, UCO has a small population of cats who call the university home. "There has been cats on campus for years," said Larry Iverson, KCSC radio engineer. "Some student probably brought one on campus or a stray wandered in. They've been here since I've been here and I' ve been here since 1981." Recently, however, the cat population has grown. One of the cats had kittens. Five kittens make up the new family. "The mom kitty is only a couple of years old," Iverson said. "We think this is her second litter." The mother cat and her kittens move around a lot. They have been seen by the satellite dish by the Communications building, in bushes and under a transformer on the north side of the Communications building. "Mom takes them around where she thinks they'll be safe," Iverson said. One of the new black kittens Mommy? now lives with Iverson at his home.

MacArthur statue may be moved because of foreign status of hero SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A statue of U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur overlooking the site of the amphibious landing that turned the tide of the Korean War may be relocated because MacArthur is a foreigner, an official said today. A statue of a Korean independence fighter may be put in MacArthur's place, the official said. "Some people now feel that a statue of a foreigner in Inchon's foremost park is inappropriate and shows a lack of pride," said the city official, who declined to be identified. The 20-foot bronze statue shows MacArthur with his left hand on his hip and his right hand holding binoculars as he gazes seaward. "Such a relocation ... would certainly be reflected in the eyes of the people all over the world as an act of ingratitude and betrayal," warned writer Kim Byong-kuk in today's Korea Times, a national English language daily. MacArthur proposed landing troops at the western port against the advice of most of the military establishment. He saw it as a way to decisively break the stalemate and push back troops that had overrun most of the peninsula.
Las Vegas shrink says elderly gambling away golden years LEDYARD, Conn. (AP) — Two or three times a week, Leonard and Lorena Parracino hop on a bus and head for the Foxwoods casino where they join hundreds of other elderly gamblers at the slot machines and blackjack tables. "You should see this place on check day," Parracino said as he surveyed the white-haired crowd on a recent Friday afternoon. "The old folks can' t wait to cash their Social Security checks and come to the casino." Like the Parracinos, thousands of elderly gamblers — many driven by loneliness and boredom — are now making regular visits to gambling casinos around the country. Gaming observers and psychologists say the growing phenomenon of elderly gambling is eating up the pension checks, and in some cases even the life savings, of many retirees. Rob Hunter is a Las Vegas psychologist who runs the nation's largest inpatient clinic for problem gamblers. He says more and more elderly people are trying to combat their boredom and feelings of uselessness by turning to slot machines, which are becoming more available as legalized gambling spreads across the country.

Starting new businesses can be easier than originally thought, say experts By Joyce Kirtley Staff Writer Information from the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public Accountants (OSPCA) stated a good business plan, marketing savvy and sufficient capital is needed in starting a new business. Doris Kendrick of the Small Business Development Center, which is affiliated with the University of Central Oklahoma and seven different counties in Oklahoma, agreed that a plan is needed. The center offers advice and information to existing and new businesses free of charge. "Dull is better when starting a business," said Tom Bergman, instructor of finance at UCO. "A plain business is better than a novel business. The less understood about a business, the more risky it is. The key is to emulate other successful businesses," said
Bergman. Bergman suggested that future business owners should work in several businesses that they are interested in starting. "For the first try, the business should be something you are
99 A plain business is better than a novel business. The less understood about a business, the more risky it is. —Tom Bergman UCO finance instructor knowledgeable about. It is more important to understand than enjoy," said Bergman. After having a plan and finding a location, raising the money needed is the next step.
"The SBDC does not loan money, but we do have lists of certified and preferred lenders," said Kendrick. "The best way is to go to your bank if it offers commercial loans," said Kendrick. "It is a misconception that obtaining money to start a business is difficult. The lenders look at how adequately the business plan is pu t together. If the person knows what he is doing, the money is no problem," said Bergman. For present or future business owners, Bergman teaches three classes entitled S tarting Your Own Business, Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship. Brochures with advice from CPAs on starting a business can be obtained by contacting the OSPCA at 800-522-8261. We do this to inform the public. It's to enhance their financial well-being, said Karl Knapp, public relations coordinator at OSPCA.

UCO dropped the opener in three games to Northeast Missouri on Friday, then came back to dump Cameron 15-13, 155, 15-12 and Missouri Southern 16-14, 15-13, 15-8 on Saturday. UCO coach Mark Herrin was pleased with his teams tournament performance. "I thought we played well both days," Herrin said, "especially against Missouri Southern because they've got a good team and we lifted our game up a notch.
