Grid players suspects in credit card theft Journalists find public relations people annoying NEW YORK (AP)—Two thirds of journalists surveyed don't trust public relations people—most consider them downright annoying and seven in 10 liken them to weasels— but 81 percent admit they need them. Those are some of the fmdings of a mail survey of 2,432 journalist by a New York public relations firm relations firm that had long wondered whether journalists' relationship with PR people was longer on love or hate. Sixty-eight percent said they don't trust public relations people. And given a list of whom they'd least like to spend time with, journalists ranked PR people as more desirable than dentists and IRS agents, but less desirable than ex-lovers, in-law and former New York Mayor Ed Koch.

Cuba criticizes soviet pullout MEXICO CITY (AP) Cuba is angrily criticizing Mikhal Gorbachev's plan to withdraw thousands of Soviet troops from the hard-line nation, accusing him of "inapproapriate behavior" for failing to discuss it beforehand with Havana. Swiftly reacting just hours after the Soviet president's announcement Fidel Castro's government also disputed the number of Soviet troops Gorbachev said were in the Caribbean island nation. It is another blow to Castro's 31-year-old government, which has stepped up rationing of consumer goods this year after sticking to hardline Communist policies despite losing billions of dollars in Soviet support in recent years.

Golf cart thieves strike warehouse

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP)—Theives stole scores of motorized golf carts from a warehouse, then used them for a demolition derby on city streets, police said. Someone broke into a warehouse early Sunday and word spead quickly that it was filled with the carts, Sgt. John Carraro said. People "all went and got one," he said. "They were doing crashmobiles into cars going down the street." Police estimated 50 to 100 carts were stolen. No injuries were reported and no arrests were made. V See WORLD WRAP, back page.

The football season may seem a lot longer at the University of Central Oklahoma this fall if charges are filed against six as yet unnamed members of the football team for using a stolen credit card. The UCO campus police reports show that on or around Sept. 1 a student's VISA card was stolen, and almost $7,000 was charged to it. Campus police allege there are presently seven suspects in the case, six of whom are members of the UCO football team. UCO Police Lt. Ed Forbes said the case broke last week. "This all culminated on Sept. 4," Forbes said. "We took the information and contacted the district attorney then." A suspect was attempting to use the card at a local store and it failed to clear, Forbes said. The store called the cardholder and determined the card had been stolen.

Forbes said no one had been taken into custody, but arrests may be forthcoming. "I definitely expect some prosecutions out of this," Forbes said. Police records show the suspects charged almost $7000 and only $2,700 in merchandise has been recovered. The card had a $10,000 limit. Forbes said the victim did not feel he was in any danger, but moved from his dorm room because his father expressed concern. "Nobody's made any threats," Forbes said. It may be some time before the paper trail can be traced and charges filed, Forbes said. "It will probably take two weeks, but it could take 30 days depending on the businesses involved," Forbes said. UCO Sports Information Director Mike Kirk said the players involved could be cut from the team. "No charges have been filed to this point," Kirk said. "If and when felony charges are filed that will be cause for immediate suspension."

Financial aid blames understaffing for delays on grants, loan money By Marcia Benedict and Larry Rogers Staff Writers

Enemies seem to be made every semester at the University of Central Oklahoma when financial-aid personnel and college students battle over deadlines and applications for federal grants and loans. Employee turnover and the lack of adequate staffing during June—the busiest time of the year for the department—are blamed for some of the delays, said financial-aid director Sheila Fugett. "There are a lot of students who are experiencing delays through no fault of their own," Fugett said. Assistant Director, Yvonne Maxwell left the department in late May, and counselor Marilyn Schwarz left in mid-June, said a spokesperson for the personnel office. Schwarz was responsible for the processing of the social security numbers from 0-441, or approximately one fourth of the 8,000 applications for aid the department receives each year. Four counselors handle all the applications received, and they're not enough, Fugett said. "I'd like to have six, but there isn't enough money or space," she said. The department has been notified that the area currently occupied by sectioning will be converted into more office space for financial aid. Sectioning will be moved to another part of the administration building, Fugett said. Plans are underway to update the computer system in the department, she said. "What we have now is primitive compared to what some schools have."

We have a huge stack of documents that we can't do anything with because we don't know who they're for. —Sheila Fugett Financial Aid Director

Another problem students have with financial aid is "a fear of letting go of their paperwork," Fugett said. "They're afraid to put anything in that drop-box for fear it will get lost." Students do have a legitimate concern, Fugett said. In past semesters paperwork was lost, but a tracking process has eliminated a lot of that type of problem. The box is emptied three or four times a day. The paperwork goes to a staff member who sorts and dates the materials, and is then given to a clerk for computer entry, Fugett said. She urges students to make sure their social security numbers and addresses are on every document they turn in. "We have a huge stack of documents that we can't do anything with because we don't know who they're for." Fugett said even though her department writes instructions for students to follow, most students don't seem to read the material. "We spend a lot of time writing procedures for students to read, and it's =fortunate when we hear, 'Why didn't you tell me?' and we did, they just didn't take the time to really read it," Fugett said. Students also need to be aware of financial aid deadlines and meet them, she said.

"Some of our students waited until the 17th of May to mail it, and even though they did mail it, funny things can happen at the post office," she said. Fugett said approximately 1100 students applied for federal grants and loans in January, and received award letters in May. "We started communicating with those students in April and they received their award letters as early as May, so if students could just finish the paperwork earlier, so could we," Fugett said. "Keep in mind, as we start processing a new year, we're still processing the current year which doesn't end until the summer session," Fugett said. Alice Strong, director of the Guaranteed Student Loan Program in Oklahoma, said when students fill out financial aid applications and estimate their income, inconsistencies can occur. Fugett said financial aid applications require concrete information, and a student should not leave any line blank. "The financial aid process is very complex and some components seem unnecessary, but it all must be done because of federal requirements. If a student doesn't provide us with the correct information, the process is stalled," Fugett said. Fugett said the financial aid office receives letters and complaints from students and realizes the need for some improvements. "I'll admit there are problems, but our job isn't to see how much money a student cannot get, it's finding out how much a student can get," Fugett said, "without the students, there would be no need for us." Fall disbursement of grants is scheduled for Oct. 2, Fugett said. V

Oklahoma needs H.B. 1017

klahoma made good news last week. In a national survey which compared states' spending for elementary and secondary education this year compared to last year, Oklahoma emerged 9th with a 9.9 percent increase. After years of finishing in 46th or 48th place in similar polls, the money generated by House Bill 1017 put Oklahoma near the top. Among neighboring states, Oklahoma was third behind Arkansas and Texas, but that position is hanging by a thread—er, lever—and is dependent on the voters' retention of House Bill 1017. The Associated Press survey revealed that of the 50 states and the District of Columbia only 20 states will increase spending 5 percent or more on education. New Jersey led the way with an increase of 23.5 percent. Another 20 states will increase spending by less than 5 percent and seven states will actually spend less than the previous year. Massachusetts finished last with funding for education cut by 22.2 percent, which will generate pink slips to 3,000 teachers. Oklahoma's $229 million school reform and tax program pushed state appropriations to $1.2 billion this year. The additional funds will increase teacher salaries across the board and hire new teachers to reduce class sizes. In Arkansas a recent sales tax hike boosted Arkansas' spending 15.7 percent to provide pay raises for teachers and add remedial and adult education programs. While Texas followed close behind Arkansas with a 15.5 percent increase in funding, it is up to its elbows in fiscal crises with a $4.8 billion state deficit. The education system is under court order to divvy up the money and resources more equitably to minority districts. And in other neighboring states, Missouri public education funding is up 1 percent but more than one-third of Missouri's school districts were operating in the red last year and 16 were on the verge of insolvency. Only Kansas finished on the minus side. Gov. Joan Finney vetoed a sales and income tax increase which left schools with 4.9 percent less in state aid this year. Local school districts are begging voters for property tax hikes but the voters may rebel. The thread that holds Oklahoma above the others in this survey can unravel and snap on October 15. Oklahoma traditionally has held the forty-something position when stacked against the rest of the country. This survey shows how much Oklahoma has gained from a single proposal and retention of the reform package is a first step toward getting out of the bottom of the barrel. V

Inmate tells other side of story

am responding to the letter that appeared in the August 29 issue of The Vista from Mr. Paquin. Some items in Mr. Paquin's article disturbed me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I respect Mr. Paquin's opinion on the death penalty. However, I do take exception to Mr. Paquin's approach. I am an incarcerated student of the University of Central Oklahoma. I am serving time for a violent offense. In his article, Mr. Paquin promotes the death penalty for all violent offenders. His rationale being that this will make the streets of Oklahoma safer. Like others, he uses sensationalized statements about crimes currently in the news to impassion his readers and sway them to support his cause. Never mind that the statements are oversimplified half-truths, just rest assured that Mr. Paquin KNOWS that killing Willie Coakley and Emil Young years ago, would have made our streets safer today. Where is the rationality in this statement? Do we kill everyone convicted of violent crimes? According to Mr. Paquin, we do. What he is asking you to support is legalized, wholesale murder. Violence to prevent violence. Does that make sense? I do not condone the actions that Willie Coakley and Emil Young are accused of committing. These crimes are detestable. If they are convicted, these men should be severely punished. Research has shown that capital punishment has little, if any, deterrent value. Perpetrators of violent crimes seldom think rationally, nor do they consider the ramifications of their actions. That does not suggest the crimes should be trifled away, but it does not justify another crime either. Lock them up and throw away the key, but don't murder them and call it justice. Another issue is Mr. Paquin's reference to inmate housing and recreation. The place with the

Playboy channel, air conditioning,

and heaters that keep me warm in winter. The place where rehabilitation is a joke, and people who live there sit and relax. That place sounds neat, but it also tells me that Mr. Paquin has never zet foot inside a prison door and that his opinion is not founded in fact. I wonder if Mr. Paquin would like to live here? He says the average law-abiding citizen would not want to spend time in this luxurious paradise. Why? Because Mr. Paquin undoubtedly knows prison is not a resort. We do not access the Playboy channel. Summer cell temperatures are 100 plus degrees 24 hours a day, and 65-70 degrees in winter. Inmates in Oklahoma do have a better standard of living than in-

mates in other states, but that does not suggest that anyone here views his time as relaxation time. Ask them! We do not enjoy the life of leisure that Mr. Paquin would have you believe. He knows not of what he speaks. What is the solution for the criminal justice system? The system that hands out 100, 200, 300, even 1,000 year sentences. The system with the fourth highest incarceration rate for men and the highest rate for women in the nation. The system filled to overflowing with criminals from your state, your neighborhood, your family, and your friend's family. They all contribute to this phenomenon we call violent crime. These are not a bunch of crazed

maniacs from some other planet;

they are but citizens of the great state of Oklahoma. You say the crimes they commit are reprehensible. Agreed. Mr. Paquin suggests the murder of "a few hundred thousand career criminals in order to regain control of our streets." When talking about this number of people, it stands to reason that eventually we will be talking about someone you know, Mr. Paquin. Will it be all right to kill that person too? Wholesale murder in the name of justice, and Mr. Paquin wonders where people get these sick, violent ideas! I believe the answer might lie somewhere within the realm of common sense. There are reasons why people do what they do. We need to find the causes of crime and treat them. Mr. Paquin's approach is the easy way out. Let the criminal come forward and identify himself, and then kill him. Just like that. Let's spend our time identifying the causes of crime and treat them. Ultimately, we will reduce the body count on both sides of the issue, and we will enjoy the safer society we all seek. Mr. Paquin's approach promotes recidivism on the part (of) our released offenders. By eliminating programs, treating offenders like lost causes, and conveying to them the attitude that they are inherently bad, anger and hate will be instilled in them which cannot be extinguished. Let us then mete justice with temperance. Don't let our criminal justice system become a group of vigilante murderers trying to exact justice on those they perceive to be beyond hope. Give a man a ray of hope, and you have given him determination to succeed. Condemn him to death for his mistakes, and you create a man who will do what he must to survive. —Michael M. Hustad, Inmate UCO Undergraduate Student

Campus is at risk without AIDS testing

find it deeply disturbing that the funding for AIDS counseling, education and testing has been cut at the Student Health Center. AIDS among teenage girls has increased 67 percent since last year and thousands have died from the disease in 1991 alone. Of course, at a time when AIDS is spreading like wildfire, the state health department's brilliant response to the situation is to make it even harder for university students to get tested.

I guess this means the state department of health is telling us in a roundabout way that none of us are at risk and no one who attends UCO will ever, ever get AIDS. Doctors have been searching for a cure for the deadly disease for years, but now we've fmally found one: Enroll at UCO and you shall be AIDS-free! Once the secret is out, I'm sure I really won't be able to find a parking space on campus. Julie Taylor UCO student

Wheels turn slowly for student his letter is written in response to a build-up of over a month of frustration, associated with the Financial Aid Department. For the past month or so I have been trying to receive both information and help from Financial Aid but have received neither. I have been waiting for an award letter for a Pell Grant that will come, according to Financial Aid, in "two-to-five days." When I checked with them on August 26, they said my grant had already been mailed. It is now Septembver 11 and I have yet to receive it. This is hardly two-to-five days. I can no longer purchase books in the bookstore using my grant. Thanks to the delay I have missed the dead-

line there. It is now almost the fourth week of school and I have not been able to purchase books and will not be able to purchase books until midsemester when the grant will be released in the form of a check made out to me. My grant application was mailed relatively early, was not late and before the (Financial Aid) deadline. I understand that there is a large number of applications to process. Although I would appreciate it if the Financial Aid Department would stop trying to use the "#two-to-five days to process" line as a standard response to any and all my questions. —Aaron W. Mongold

California band goes national By Kathy Karr Staff Writer

If Van Halen and the Red Hot Chili Peppers ever had an illegitimate son, his name would be Ugly Kid Joe. A combination of funk, metal, glam and thrash, Ugly Kid Joe, a five-man band out of Isla Vista, California, has been destroying the hearing of their legion of local fans since 1989. Now the rest of the world can share in the Southern California phenomenon. The band plans to release it's first EY., "As Ugly As They Wanna Be," on New York's Stardog Records, in upcoming months. The first two tunes on the 6 song

EY., "Madman" and "Whiplash Liquor," are heavily reminiscent of Faith No More and Fishbone, if Brett Michaels were singing lead. On the third song, "Too Bad," the Ugly Kid's abandon the funk, if only for a short while. Riffs sounding like old Van Halen fight to be heard over the hard, Zeppelinesque drum beat. Midway through the tune, the Ugly Kids go back to the funk beat they're familiar with, making the combination of ancient-sounding metal and funk, sound almost new. This is not a band with a social or political consciousness. These guys obviously don't care a great deal about the environment or politics, with titles like "Whiplash Liquor" and "Madman." The song "Everything About You" prom-

ises to be a romantic ballad, until the narrative kicks in, stating "I hate your mother/I hate your father's guts too," and "everything about you", hence the title. This really isn't a band to take too seriously. According to the press release, the formation of the band pretty much started as a joke, and as such the whole thing is rolling along quite nicely. A definite good-time party band, these guys may have to clean up their lyrics if they wish to get any radio play. But with fans such as Metallica, L.A. Guns and Megadeth on their side, it would probably be a good idea to keep an eye out for these bad boys on guitar. V

Tempest shakes drama group By Kathy Karr

Staff Writer

Theater enthusiasts will be witness to a storm onstage as the University of Central Oklahoma's theater department presents Shakespeare's comedy about magic and revenge, "The Tempest." Dr. Donald Bristow, associate professor, oral communications, will direct the play, to be presented September 26-28 at 8 p.m. and September 29 at 2 p.m. Bristow has prior experience with Shakespeare. He directed "The Tempest" 20 years ago at UCO, as well as "The Taming of the Shrew," and designed the set for "Hamlet." Bristow said he is very positive about this production.

" The Tempest' is probably my favorite Shakespeare work," he said. "And the audience will probably find it the most accesible of Shakespeare in a lot of ways. It's probably the last play he wrote, and the verse is the best." Capturing lead roles were Ben Hall, junior, "Prospero;" Laura Hartpence, sophomore, "Ariel;" Sean Gutteridge, senior "Caliban;" and Lesa Cheever, senior, "Miranda." Reheasals began the first week of school, and this production of "The Tempest" will be the first time Shakespeare has graced UCO's stage in a great while. "I would say it's been at least five or six years since we've done a work by Shakespeare, and we thought that it certainly was time to do it again," Bristow said. V

New Plains Review offers variety of works from students nationwide By Roger Groce Student Writer

The New Plains Review magazine, a publication of the Liberal Arts College, is gearing up for the release of its seventh issue this spring, New Plains Managing Editor Shawna Cleary said. Fiction, non-fiction, art, photography, poetry, and even music, are among the categories of work published in New Plains Review. "Officially, its the magazine of the Liberal Arts College, even though it is published in a book format." This issue will be focusing on the environment and ecology. "Although issue seven is emphasizing the environment, we are not limiting the submissions to environmental issues. All work will be given equal consideration," Cleary said. The staff of New Plains consists solely of University of Central Oklahoma students directed by Gwynne Hunter, founder and executive editor. The New Plains staff begins planning for each issue twelve to twenty-four months in advance. A general theme is chosen, around which the search for material is centered. "We send out a call for submissions to colleges and universities nationwide," she said. Obtaining submissions can be very difficult Cleary said. "People usually procrastinate." All writing submitted to New Plains is considered for publication. "All that students have to do is

follow the directions on the submissions cover sheet. There are stacks of them outside our office. It is anonymously juried by the New Plains Review staff. Then those accepted go into the magazine." The Liberal Arts Student Scholarship Symposium, held every spring, is planned and sponsored by New Plains, as well as Forum, a topic oriented public deliberation. The publication began in the fall of 1985. Six regular issues and a full length book have followed since that time, Hunter said. Distribution includes colleges, universities and libraries all over the United States, and an increasing number of bookstores, said NPR secretary Deann Adams. Where issues of New Plains Review end up can be described by an event that occurred with Deep Fork Anthology, NPR's full length book, said Hunter. "We had a woman call from Denver and order twenty copies. She had seen Deep Fork in Portau-Prince, Haiti." An article published in the latest

issue of NPR touched on a topic of growing interest, Hunter said. The Orphan Train Museum, in Johnson, Ark. remembers the plight of over 150,000 orphan children during the depression that were shipped from the streets of New York City to new homes in the Midwest. "That is just the kind of contribution we make to scholarship. Oklahoma Today Magazine is also doing an article on the Orphan Train," Hunter said. "New Plains Review is considered one of the foremost literary magazines in its field. And for a young writer trying to get published, being published in New Plains Review is quite prestigious," Cleary said. NPR is continually accepting submissions for the publication.

Edmond Report focuses on local happenings By Marcia Benedict Staff Writer

Broadcasting local news is the primary function of "The Edmond Report," a newscast produced by the communication department at the University of Central Oklahoma. Last spring, two newscasts were produced each week. This semester four newscasts are taped each week, said Dr. Jack Deskin, UCO associate professor of oral communication. "Doubling the newscasts has been a goal for about two years," Deskin said. The report now airs Tuesday through Friday at 6:30 and 10:30 p.m., on channel 29 of the Edmond cable network. A weekend edition also is broadcast Saturday and Sunday nights. "We cover mostly what the other stations do not, with an em-

phasis on news that happens in Edmond," he said. An increase in broadcasting students led to the recent increase in aired newscasts this semester, he said. "We have a growing number of students to use to gather the news," Deskin said. The program has gradually been expanding as more students anticipate careers in broadcast journalism, he said. "Last year we had close to 200 broadcasting majors, and I imagine we'll have at least that many this year," he said. Anchors for the news program are selected each semester according to how many required courses have been met, and how much reporting experience a student has obtained, Deskin said. "We make the anchors report the news, not just read it," he said. John Paul II, Kris Dunn and Andy Irwin are co-anchors for this fall semester. V

Bloodhounds sniffing for donors By Barbara Dewailley Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma's first blood drive of the school year is set for Sept. 24-25. The blood drive hours are 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. in the University Center Ballroom A, and is sponsored by the, UCO Bloodhounds. Susan Thompson, campus activities director, said the blood drive will be conducted by the Sylvan N. Goldman Center Oklahoma Blood Institute. "Our goal is to try to get 300 units of blood dur-

mg this first drive. That's up quite a bit from last year. We had three blood drives during the 1990-91 school year with a total of 424 units donated," Thompson said. Each donor will get a free cholesterol and miniphysical that includes checks for blood pressure, anemia and blood type. Deneice Cunningham, Oklahoma Blood Institute communication coordinator, said each donor will answer a number of health questions, however, it ill be on an individual and confidential basis. Thompson said travelling trophies will be given to organizations who have large donor participation. V

The league, sponsored by the Wellness and Positive Lifestyle program, included over 80 staff and faculty dependants, said Grosz. The Friday during Chemistry Week there will be a career day, featuring speakers from the business community discussing career opportunities related to chemistry. Many speakers will be former graduates from UCO, who now have successful careers in the business community, Grosz said. The Chemistry department has undergone many changes in the last few months, Grosz said. The Hewlett Packard Corporation recently donated thousands of dollars worth of equipment. "It has given us new and stateof-the-art analytical equipment for the exclusive use of undergraduate students." mistry

The University of Central Oklahoma chemistry department will set out to prove to students that "chemistry is not a dirty word," said Dr. Fred Grosz, UCO chemistry department chair. The department will be hosting National Chemistry Week November 4-9, presented by the American Chemistry Society. Included in the week will be exhibits, demonstrations and guest speakers. Daytime activities will extend from 9 am to 5 pm, with an occasional nighttime lecture ending about 10 pm. Grosz said he wanted to dispell the common misconceptions about chemists-that they are dirty and unkept, or nerds. "We find that a lot of people are suprised to find out that the Che-

Grosz believes that these advances have made the UCO chemistry program one of the best in the state. "OU has more sophisticated equipment, but the undergraduates can't touch it. Here, undergraduates don't just see the equipment, they get hands on experience. They have to use it," Grosz said. Chemistry Week is expected to attract hundreds of participants from the business and educational community. "To promote chemistry in a positive light," Grosz said, is the first goal of this year's Chemistry Week. "The second is to promote our department in the community and surrounding areas," he said.

An experienced musician is providing a new and different beat for University of Central Oklahoma students to dance to. Jahruba Lambeth is artist-inresidence at UCO. An Oklahoma native, Lambeth specializes in African drumming. "I've been hired to accompany the dancers of the top level modern dance classes," Lambeth said. "Usually, dance classes use a piano player." Lambeth was born in Little Axe, Oklahoma, an area with a large .Chickasha Indian population. "I've known how to do Indian drumming most of my life," Lambeth said. When Lambeth was a young man, he and his family moved to California, where he was exposed to the music of other cultures. "I lived among Cubans and Puerto Ricans and learned their drum style," Lambeth said. "I also heard African style drums." Lambeth joined drum bands that toured the California coast. "There are all these little pockets along the coast where they like drummers to play," Lambeth said. Lambeth was chosen along with several others as an artist-inresidence by the Oklahoma art council. "They have about 50 people on their roster," Lambeth said. "All types of artists and musicians. Public schools get grants to hire these artists-in-residence to come to the schools and teach the kids." Lambeth said he enjoys the work with children. "I come and bring them history," he said. "But the important part is the drums. They get to play

and it enhances their ability and their self-esteem." "These kids just kind of shine," Lambeth said. "They feel pretty good about themselves." Lambeth said his love for drumming goes back a long way. "My mom used to tell me I would beat on pots and pans on the floor of the kitchen with a rhythm," Lambeth said. "I couldn't even walk, but I was drumming." Lambeth said his desire to drum for a living came into focus when he was studying black history. "I knew how to play, but I didn't have any focus," Lambeth said. "I wanted to study who I was in relationship to white society and to my people." "I took this path that led me to Africa," Lambeth said. "In Africa they use drums for every occasion. Drums were used for every possible ceremony; rites of passage, weddings, funerals, births, visits from heads of state." Lambeth said he has enjoyed working at UCO. "I really like working here," he said. "This is the first time the dancers have been able to dance to live drums. It makes their movement more vital and alive."

Maria Rodriguez

UCO student spices up OKC television program By Barbara Dewailley

Staff Writer

Her travels have brought her from Columbia, South American to Oklahoma, but Maria Roderiguez, University of Central Oklahoma broadcasting/journalism student, said recently she has made an even bigger move, career wise that is. Roderiguez is one of the driving forces behind a new television show in the Oklahoma City market,"Aji Picante", a variety show for the Spanish speaking community. The show airs every Sunday night at 11 p.m. on channel 34. "We realized there was a need for such a show in this city and we knew we wanted to put one together," she said. So, with a little money and a lot of hard work Roderiguez and Lulu Rincon, her friend and business partner, put together R. R. TV Production Inc. and planned the format for their television show. Roderiguez produces, hosts and helps edit the show. Shaion Gonzalez, a former Miss Teen Puerto Rico, is the show director. "Cottrell Dawson, owner of Planet Earth Studio helps us a lot. We tape the show there and he does most of the editing," Roderiguez said. Roughly translated "Aji Picante" means hot pepper in Span-

ish, and Roderiguez said is a way of letting the public know the show is very "now". "We have a format with guests listed for the month. Usually the week begins with contacting the guests for that particular weeks' taping. Taping is done Saturday," Roderiguez said. She said Sunday is usually spent planning the show for the following week, Monday night is the production meeting and then editing until about 2 a.m. "We apply any finishing touches to the show on Tuesday, then on Wednesday at 11 a.m. we have the show delivered to Channel 34," Roderiguez said. "Aji Picante" features singing, dancing, comedy, interviews, and periodically, an information and cooking sequence. The show is in Spanish now, but in two weeks will begin using English subtitles. "We are getting very favorable responses for the show, and beginning Sept. 29 the show goes from a 30 minute to an hour format. Actually, I think the longer show will be easier to do. As it is, we end up having to cut so much out," she said. Roderiguez came to Oklahoma five years ago. She had her own clothing store by the time she was 21 years old. She began attending UCO two years ago. Roderiguez is currently planning a bilingual beauty pageant for November. V

College seniors are now eligible for federal money that would enable them to attend universities in countries throughout the world. Dr. Siegfried Heit, assistant humanities and philosophy professor, said he received a Fulbright Grant and studied his graduate courses at a German university. "The grants give American students a chance to study another country's language and culture," Heit said. The Fulbright Grants pay for a student's round trip transportation, housing, meals, tuition and insurance during the usual one year stay in the host country, Heit said.

"A student applies for the grant during the fall semester of his senior year, and then leaves after he receives his bachelor's degree," he said. Students can apply foreign courses to American graduate programs, if an advisor is consulted, Heit said. "I've seen students get as few as six hours of credit, and as many as 12 to 14 hours of credit for doing their graduate work overseas," Heit said. While studying at the universities, students are not required to complete the tests given in the courses, he said. "They can take the examinations and receive a certificate from the university, but the primary function of studying in the different countries is to learn about

foreign cultures and languages," Heit said. Approximately 3000 students applied last year for the 670 grants available for foreign studies, he said. "It really is a prestigious award and truly enhances your background if you are chosen," Heit said. A former Arkansas senator named Fulbright created the grant program after World War II, Heit said. "He thought that if students learned more about foreign countries, there wouldn't be any more wars," Heit said. The deadline for students to apply is Oct. 14. Applications are available in Dr. Heit's office, Room 105B in the Liberal Arts building. V

UCO yearbook staff captures Medalist Award By Barbara Dewailley Staff Writer

The Bronze Book, University of Central Oklahoma's yearbook, is the 1991 recipient of the College Scholastic Press Association Medalist Award. Lu Hollander, yearbook advisor, said they received the certificate last week. "I was very excited about this honor. I thought we would probably win a first place

award. Medalist is just above the first place rating," Hollander said. First place winners are put together and critiqued a second time. About five to ten percent of them become Medalist winners. Hollander, who became yearbook advisor in 1988, said this is the first time they have entered the competition since then. Julie Taylor, yearbook editor-in-chief, said she also is

pleased with the results. The 1991 yearbook was their centennial edition. The yearbook scored high in theme development. Last year's theme was "Sale of the Century". Taylor said other areas highly praised were design, sports copy and photography. Both Hollander and Taylor said they will enter the competition again this year and hope to do even better. V

Bronchos shock T-Birds 24-21 By Bill Kramer Sports Editor Things may be looking positive for a change for Central Oklahoma's football program, following a 24-21 come-from-behind victory Saturday against favored Southern Utah before 1,175 fans in Wantland Stadium. The Bronchos (1-1) made some obvious improvements on both sides of the ball, compared with last week's 38-14 embarassment against Northwest Missouri.

UCO has a good chance this season to rid a five-year jinx, in which its best record was last year's 4-6 mark. After the first 16 minutes of Saturday's game, however, it looked as if the Bronchos would continue their losing trend. But thanks to 24 unanswered points, including 17 in the second quarter alone, UCO gained some much-need confidence (not to mention a victory) and can look forward to the Lone Star Conference race with anticipation. The Thunderbirds of SW con-

trolled most aspects of the game, including total yardage. Southern Utah outgained the Bronchos 390-183 but committed five turnovers, compared with only one for UCO. The difference? Sheer poise and confidence. Despite a 14-0 deficit, following two touchdown passes from T-Bird quarterback James Armendariz to popular targets Ryan Maynier and Bob Stookey, the Bronchos countered with three consecutive scoring drives to pull ahead for good at halftime. Following a 39-yard scoring

strike from Armendariz to AllAmerica wide receiver candidate, Stookey, Broncho kickoff returner Keith Martin ran the ball back 30 yards from the UCO 3, and a 15-yard personal foul gave the hosts the ball at the T-Bird 48. UCO senior quarterback Ben Morrison then guided his team 48 yards in six plays, and sophomore tailback Tyrone Jones carried the ball in from 11 yards out to decrease the deficit to 14-7, with 10:53 to go in the first half. Another 15-yard penalty stiffled the next Southern Utah drive, and the T-Birds punted from their end zone, giving the Bronchos good field position again for another scoring drive. UCO drove to the T-Bird 16 but elected to allow place kicker Lee Stamper boot a 33-yard field goal, rather than gamble on fourth-and five. With the successful kick, the Bronchos still trailed 14-10 with 4:22 to go in the half. The turning point of the game occurred on Southern Utah's very next possession as running back Zed Robinson fumbled the ball after a four-yard gain, and Broncho strong safety Jason Stubbs recovered at the Thunderbird 37. Six plays later, Jones scored again, this time on a one-yard plunge, to put the Bronchos on top for the first time, 17-14, with 1:46 left in the half. UCO's defense rewarded the offense for a job well done early in the third period. Junior free safety Maurice Davenport blocked a Thunderbird punt and chased the ball 16 yards into the end zone for a touchdown, and Stamper added the point after to give the Bronchos a 24-14 cushion. Southern Utah responded in the

final quarter as back-up quarterback Brett Barben directed a 15-play, 80-yard drive to pull within 24-21, but the Thunderbirds consumed 6:14 on the clock and left little time for another score. Despite getting the ball back, following a UCO punt with 3:25 to go, Barben's second effort at being a hero was cut short. His pass on second-and-eight from the SW 46 was intercepted by junior corner back Tony Loud, and the Bronchos held on for the win. Jones led the Broncho offensive attack with 62 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He also caught three passes for 34 yards. Stubbs led a parade of defensive standouts with 13 tackles (five unassisted), two broken-up passes and a fumble recovery. Sophomore linebackers Jason Melkisetian and Byron Mooney added 11 and 10 tackles, respectively. V

Humble start fuels spiker By Ray Dozier

Sports Information Assistant Central Oklahoma's Kristin Vincent has come a long way during her volleyball career, from a self-professed "awful" beginVincent ning to a starting sport as a college freshman since last year. "In the eighth grade my track coach told me I should try a volleyball camp because I was 5-10, so I went to the camp, tried out for the team and was awful," Vincent said. "But they put me on the team anyway, and I've been playing volleyball ever since." Vincent, now a 6-0 sophomore, was All-District and a Dallas Metro All-Star as a prep senior at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas. Upon arrival at UCO, Vincent missed the first seven matches with an ankle injury but finished the rest of the year as a starting middle blocker. Despite missing those early matches, Vincent broke the school record with 71 assisted blocks last year, and her 49 solo blocks is third best in UCO history. Vincent also had an impressive .249 attack percentage last year, proving she can put the ball away and score points. "You have to be real quick, and you have to have a lot of agility, because when you're on the front row you constantly go back and forth blocking," Vincent said. "And you have to hit as well." Vincent's rookie season performance helped the Lady Bronchos win a school-record 25 matches. "It was great to be a part of the

record-breaking team, especially being the only freshman," Vincent said. "I felt honored to be able to play last year, because I came here and didn't think I was going to play as a freshman. I thought I was going to be farther behind everybody." This year the Lady Bronchos have more experience, and Vincent said the team should have another record-breaking year, de; spite a rugged schedule. "We've got a lot of height, and we've got five returning starters," Vincent said. "We've got a freshman setter (Carrie Peters) this year, and she lacks collegiate experience, but she's talented and is doing an excellent job in practice. "We have a hard schedule ahead of us, but we're just going to try our best and not get down. We've got to realize we're playing better teams this year. The conference is going to be wide open, except for Angelo (State), who is favored. We can do no less than our best this year." Vincent agrees it's easy to give her best to a sport she loves. "I like it all because it's realy fast-paced and an exciting sport to play," she said. "If you enjoy the game, it's hard to get bored watching it." UCO head coach Mark Herrin said he is glad he has Vincent's talent for three more years. "She's a better all-around player compared to last year, especially on defense," Hen-in said. "I think she'll continue to improve and look for her to have a great career here." In her latest UCO effort, Vincent recorded 11 attacks and was third on the team with six kills as the Lady Bronchos rallied from two games down to deafeat the University of Tulsa, their secondstraight victory against an NCAA I opponent. V

Volleyball team rallies for 3-2 victory at Tulsa Central Oklahoma lost the first two games but rallied to win the final three and the match Tuesday against NCAA I foe Tulsa University. The Lady Hurricanes of Tulsa won the first game 15-12 and the second 15-8 and seemed sure of victory, but UCO outscored them 15-6, 15-11 and 15-10 in the final three games for the match win. The victory meant the secondconsecutive win against Division I competition for the Lady Bronchos, now 2-0 for the year. Senior Heather Devine (Edmond) led UCO with 11 kills and added 20 attacks, and junior Amy Parten (Azle, Texas) added 10 kills and 26 attacks. Parten's attack percentage was a dazzling .192. Sophomore Kristin Vincent (Arlington., Texas) had two unassisted and six unassisted blocks to aid the Lady Broncho cause. Freshman setter Carrie Peters (Norman) recorded seven service aces, and continues to perform' well in her first collegiate season. The Lady Bronchos remain on the road this week and compete in the Southern Arkansas Tournament Friday and Saturday, before returning to Tulsa to face Oral Roberts University in place of a cancelled Missouri Western home game Sept. 26.
