Prisoners receive `shock' treatment McALESTER, Okla. (AP)—The first inmates of Oklahoma's new $11 million death row are only passing through, in a shock program that's meant to keep them from winding up there for good. The maximum-security unit, which opened Monday at Oklahoma State Penitentiary, was built to house Oklahoma's condemned men. But the first prisoners to sleep there are low-risk, non-violent offenders, said Linda Morgan, the prison spokeswoman. The idea is to work out any bugs in the new unit while giving the inmates a shocking view of prison life, Ms. Morgan said.
Madonna's bra brings $11,000 MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (AP)—An autographed bra worn by Madonna in her film, "Truth of Dare" sold for $11,000 at a Rotary Club fund-raiser. The new owners, brothers Marshall and Marco Chin and their sister, Margie Christopher, say they'll display the bra at their restaurant, Mon Jin-Lau, in Troy, Mich., about 10 miles south of Madonna's hometown of Rochester Hills. "We'd like Madonna to stop by for dinner, anytime," Marco Chin said. The siblings bought the pointy black and fuchsia bra at the Evening of Hope auction Friday, hosted by the Mount Clemens Rotary Club. It was among 400 items sold to raise money for charity.
Police find girl bound in chains NEW YORK (AP)—Police arrested the parents of a teen-age girl who they said was chained at the ankle in the family's apartment for about a year. "They didn't even unlock her to go to the bathroom," said Sgt. Tina Mohrmann, a police spokeswoman. "They gave her a bucket." The father, 44, and mother, 42, were arrested on charges of reckless endangerment, unlawful imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child. They told police the 15-year-old girl was shackled for her own good because "she was involved in drugs and ran away," Molumann said. V See WORLD WRAP, page 5

The Student Voice Since 1903
UCO lures new record By Marcia Benedict
Staff Writer
Sophomore, junior, senior and graduate classes at the University of Central Oklahoma experienced student increases, while freshmen enrollment dropped 7.1 percent for the 1991 fall semester. A revised admission policy requiring incoming freshmen to complete certain curricular requirements in high school contributed to the decrease in freshmen students, said Darrell Gilliland, UCO registrar. "Students must now decide at the ninth grade level in high school if they are college bound," Gilliland said. Even though 276 students were not admitted to the university due to curricular deficiencies, a record breaking total of 15,014 students are attending classes this fall. "We have always attempted to serve qualified students who meet the requirements at UCO," said Dr. Bill Lillard, UCO president. Due to a lack of classroom and parking spaces, Lillard said the university may not be able to accommodate the growing student body in future years. "With a growth of 1,602 students in the last five years and no relief in sight for our classroom situation, that may not be possible in the very near future," Lillard said. V

Charges will be filed in theft By Penny Owen Staff Writer
At least two of the seven suspects allegedly involved in the recent credit card theft at the University of Central Oklahoma will be prosecuted, said UCO Campus Police Chief, Bob Roberts. However, police want more evidence against the remaining five suspects before taking the case to the district attorney. The case has gained the attention of the U.S. Secret Service, who sent Special Agent Larry Kingry to UCO to assist campus police with the investigation. "Since this has become a nationwide problem, the secret service now becomes involved," Roberts said. The charges pending are forgery, fraudulent use of a credit card and obtaining mer-
chandise by false pretenses, all of which are felony crimes. Six of the suspects are UCO football players, said UCO Campus Police Lt. Ed Forbes. Charges should be filed within the next 30 days, Forbes said. "Hopefully, with the addition of the secret service expertise, we can move a little more rapidly," Roberts said. "But it looks like we'll have to do some handwriting analysis unless somebody decides to talk." The investigation began Sept. 4 when an attempt was made to purchase $1,700 in stereo equipment with a VISA Gold card from Falcon Electronics in Edmond. "The guy was acting real antsy and picking out the best stereo equipment," said Falcon Electronics owner, Steve Littleton. When Littleton asked the customer, whom he described as a black male in his
early 20s, for identification, the man said he had to go home to get it. When he left, Littleton said he called VISA for authorization on the credit card. VISA then called the cardholder, who confirmed the card was stolen. Littleton, who had written down the customer's car tag number, then called the Edmond police. By the time the two-day shopping spree ended, nearly $7,000 had been charged at 14 different Oklahoma City and Edmond stores. Sophomore Gabe Moulton had been given the VISA by his father to purchase school books. Moulton said the card was taken out of his wallet sometime over Labor Day weekend, probably while he was taking a shower at East Hall dormitory, where he resides. V See CHARGES, page 7.

Edmond is leader in legitimate fad
D
uring the last decade Edmond earned the reputation of being the site of a post office massacre, the PGA championship and a suitcase suburb of upwardly mobile, self-indulgent yuppies and their children. And if that wasn't enough notoriety, last week the city of Edmond passed what should be called the Granny Clampett law--an ordinance to allow residents to keep pigs as pets. But these aren't ordinary farm pigs any more than a Rolex is a wristwatch or a Mercedes-Benz is a grey sedan. Potbellied pigs are the newest craze among the Cole-Hahn crowd and Edmond is the first community in the metro area to recognize the trend. Pedigreed schnauzers and shelties are passe. Potbellied pigs are replacing the family pooch in upscale neighborhoods nationwide. While they are not as smart as Arnold on "Green Acres," potbellied pigs are supposedly intelligent, affectionate pets which can be trained to do tricks, play with the children, and scratch at the back door to be let out when nature calls. The over-privileged children of Edmond can learn responsibility by caring for a pet pig. They will get braces on their teeth, Fendi handbags and Gucci pooperscoopers. Cleaning up after pigs will certainly take the starch out of the Bugle Boys. To keep the community from going hog wild, however, the city council banned residents from owning pigs that weigh more than 75 pounds or are more than 20 inches tall. Residents are further limited to having no more than two pigs in their homes. That presents some problems about enforcement of the new ordinance. Perhaps the police have a plan to periodically hold neighborhood weigh-ins—for the pigs. If Petunia is a bit lazy one winter and porks out at 76 or 77 pounds, the owners could be cited or fined or both. And if they fail to trim the piggie down to size, she could end up on a hook at Homeland. When the craze goes out of style, though, what will happen to the pigs? There are always some people who are slower to catch on to the passing fancies than others—who buy their status symbols at the garage sales of the status-conscious—so there could be a secondary market for second-hand potbellied pigs. Fortunately fads don't last. A revival of backyard luaus, however, could create a new animal rights movement. Or Edmond could make headlines for the creation of pig shelters for unwanted pets. V

I
have been a student at this university for three years. During that time I have seen a lot of things change on campus. Some have been good and some do not make much sense to me. One of these decisions that does not make sense to me is the fact that I can no longer get a Coke
or Pepsi from any machine on this campus except in the Oklahoma Room in the University Center. While I understand about the cost of Coke and Pepsi and about dealing with vendors, I do not understand replacing Coke or Pepsi or other Coke/Pepsi products (which most of my friends
prefer), with RC. What is RC? I would be most appreciative if you could look into the matter or write an article concerning this issue. Thank you. —Sharon M. LaFave UCO senior

Test helps students find major By Marcia Benedict Staff Writer
A computer test offered at the educational information center at Evans Hall could help University of Central Oklahoma students determine a major field of study, said Jan Miller, coordinator of testing and correspondence. "This isn't going to decide their careers, it's just going to help them to make a decision," Miller said. The test, composed of three inventory examinations, is geared for all students who are
planning to enter the job market, she said. Demand for various positions and salaries for certain careers are also explained to the students, Miller said. A listing of all American colleges and universities is available on the Discover computer program for students who complete the test. "If we don't have a specific degree program, this will give the colleges and universities that have what they need," she said,"and it gives information on tuition, residential areas, the size of the towns and phone

"After the first test, if they feel they need more help we have some additional tests they can take," Miller said. In addition to the "Discover" test, a Strong Interest Inventory test is available to students. Tests are offered 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Students interested in taking the test can make an appointment by contacting Miller, at ext. 2951. V
A television program designed to keep viewers updated on university people and issues will air Wednesdays at 6 p.m., said Al Serradell, publications specialist at the University of Central Oklahoma.

"We try to get all the aspects of the university covered on the show and keep people informed about university events," he said. UCO President, Dr. Bill Lillard,
hosts each program, Serradell said. "It's something he (Lillard) enjoys doing, and has been doing for the past three years," Serradell said. After the initial broadcast, each show will be aired 13 additional times during various hours of the week. In the future such topics as financial aid, the nursing program, funeral service and foreign language departments will be featured on the show, he said. "We always begin each semester by interviewing the three vice presidents and then we introduce faculty members and different departments," he said. V

Residents, politicians resist toll Walters proposes idea of toll road By Penny Owen Staff Writer
It's 5:20 p.m. and once again you're progressing about five mph down the Broadway Extension toward your 5:40 management class at the University of Central Oklahoma. You clench your teeth when you remember what your professor said about the bad impression tardiness makes. But what can you do when you get off work at 5 p.m. and have no other route to drive to Edmond? Gov. David Walters recently suggested that the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority study a proposal to turn the Broadway Extension into a toll road. This suggestion has stirred up some heated concerns. "Absolutely not. I'm totally against it," said UCO nursing instructor Alma Rambo. "I would probably start going down 1-35, but it would inconvenience me greatly, both timewise and moneywise." "Candidly, I don't see why one segment of the population should have to pay for the use of their road and then subsidize the rest of the roads," said Sen. Mark Snyder (R-Edmond). If the state legislature approves a study of the proposal, the Turnpike Authority will consider whether or not a Broadway Extension toll road would be worth borrowing millions of dollars to build, said Richard Ridings, Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Chief Executive Officer. Cost effectiveness can be de-
monstrated in that the Turnpike Authority spent $100 million to build the Kilpatrick Turnpike, which accomodates about 4,000 cars per day. The Broadway Extension accomodates about 60,000 cars per day. Constructing a turnpike would mean creating jobs, Ridings said. Building the Kilpatrick Turnpike put 4,000 local people to work. Plus, the Turnpike Authority spends eight times as much on maintenance as the state highway department. The Turnpike Authority also found that about half the revenue generated from existing state toll roads comes from out-of-state drivers, Ridings said. Shadid said he is has no problem with a study being done if it could mean widening the road to eight lanes in 18 months. Most calls received by his office, however, are opposed to the idea. "There seems to be a mentality that everyone in Edmond has a lot of money and we can afford a toll road," Shadid said. "We have an affluent air about us, but there's a lot of people on minimum wage and a lot of college students, too." If the proposed toll road were to operate on a Pike Pass system, drivers would be charged six cents per mile driven. For someone making a six-mile trip twice a day on the Broadway Extension five days a week, the annual cost would be $187.20. "I'll fight it every time they bring it up, because it's just inappropriate," Snyder said. "But once an idea springs up, if the right people like it, it will get done." V
By Renae Romans Student Writer Commuters of the University of Central Oklahoma could be out some more money if the Broadway Extension is converted into a toll road? In a press conference on Aug. 29, Gov. David Walters said, "I think it's legitimate for us to be exploring the possibility of converting existing highways to toll facilities in order to free up additional state dollars to do more work and to make it all happen faster." Two of the roads being considered by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority are the Broadway Extension and the Broken Arrow Expressway in Tulsa. What does this mean to UCO, a commuter college?

The area studied extended south to Moore, east to Midwest City, west to Bethany and North to 114th," said Tyree. This means that 6,106 students use the Broadway Extension as their route, to and from school. "Fall enrollment for 1991 is only up 267 students from last year," said Tyree. "Whether or not I would support a conversion of the Broadway Extension or the Broken Arrow Expressway, after all of the analysis and proposal has been made, I really couldn't tell you, but it certainly is a legitimate prospective project to look at and to analyze," Walters said. "You might get some resistance from me depending on the final outcome of the analysis," said Walters. V

Meteorite lands near teenager INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Brodie Spaulding feels lucky. Not only did the 13-year-old find a meteorite, he actually saw it land. And it missed him. The youth was standing in his front yard in Noblesville, about 10 miles north of Indianapolis, when the fist-size meteorite fell about five feet from him on Aug. 31. "I was amazed," Spaulding said. "It just happened all of a sudden. I heard a real low whistling noise and saw a rock laying there." Purdue University chemistry professor Michael Lipshutz, who specializes in meteorite analysis, said Spaulding is a rare witness to such an event. "Only about one of these falls on every million square kilometers on the Earth's surface each year, and it's very rare to have one fall at someone's feet," Lipshutz said.

English chairperson starts writing lab for students By Misty Pace Student Writer
A new chairperson for the University of Central Oklahoma's English department has been working this semester to better the entire department. Dr. Sandra Mayfield replaced the retiring chairperson, Dr. Marie Saunders, in June. Mayfield has already accomplished the task of setting up a writing lab for students who need assistance with writing assignments. The lab has 16 computer terminals, volunteers from the full-time staff and teaching assistants to help the students, said Mayfield. "I'm excited about this .. . We already have over 100 students signed up for the lab, and this week is our third week," said Mayfield. In addition, Mayfield said she would like to see the installation of assessment tests for English skills and the introduc-

Lion of exit exams for graduating students to indicate their competency. "That's just kind of on the drawing board, but the whole university is going to be involved in a junior-level competency testing, and I would like us to do this.", said Mayfield. Another goal for the English department is to have more visibility on campus.
"We can offer a lot to our international students. We are trying to meet the needs of their language skills to improve their basic composition." said Mayfield. Mayfield, a native of Idabel, received her bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1964. She has a master's degree from Southwestem Baptist Theological Seminary, a master's and a doctorate from the University of Oklahoma. Before teaching at UCO, Mayfield taught at East Texas Baptist University and OBU. She was also a consultant for the department of education at Oklahoma State University for six years. Mayfield said helping to make a difference was the reason she applied for the position. "It seemed to me that our department was moving forward in progressive directions and I wanted to be a part of it . I felt that I could help lead it in that direction." V

Priest leaves it all with friends CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio (AP)—A Roman Catholic priest who died last month figured that as long as he couldn't take it with him, his fellow clerics might as well have a good time with his money. When Msgr. Thomas P. Campbell died at age 65 he left two fellow priests money to be used specifically on items such as beer and golf balls. To the Rev. Robert Donohoe, pastor of Mother of Sorrows Church in Peninsula, he left $1,000 "to replenish his supply of Harp Lager Beer and or Tullamore Dew." And for the Rev. John Neary, a retired priest, Campbell left his golf balls and tees and $100 "to replenish his supply of both each spring, in memory of my 1985 hole in one, which he has never been able to match of boast of, lest he ever forget."

John Bishop, artist-in-residence at the University of Central Oklahoma, wishes he had more time to teach, but writing, producing, and traveling from one coast to another doesn't leave him much extra time. Bishop will be at UCO for the next few weeks teaching play writing and scenario writing. He divides the semester with fellow play and screenplay writer, Jonathon Bolt. They are both from the Circle Repertory Theatre in New York City. "By teaching, you learn. It helps your whole writing process," Bishop said. Bishop was one of the first playwrights to teach at UCO when Dr. Warren added playwrights to the artist-in-residence program in 1984. "I like Oklahoma and I like the people, that's why I come back. I've formed some long lasting relationships here," Bishop said. He described play writing as a distillation of life and said it's very difficult to write.

better chance of selling poetry or a novel than a screenplay, but that's where the money is. "I write screenplays in order to pay for my play writing habits." Bishop said. Bishop, who grew up in Ohio, went to college, served in the marine corps, and worked in regional theatre before moving to New York City around 1969. "New York hones you and I'm grateful for that. It forces you to be as good as you can possibly be. You're there because you want to suceed, so you better get better. It's a very competitive city." His first play, "A Trip Back Down," was produced in 1976 at a tiny loft in New York. It turned out to be very successful and went on to Broadway. Two years ago a play of
Bishop's, "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940" opened in Oklahoma City at Carpenter Square Theatre and has since gone around the world. Bishop's latest play, "Empty Hearts," about the end of a marriage, is slated for Circle Repertory's spring schedule. Ken Olin from television's "Thirtysomething" is expected to star. He has also written the text for a musical version of Sinclair Lewis' novel "Elmer Gantry" that will debut at La Jolla Playhouse this fall. "We're lucky to have this published and practicing playwright who is an experienced director as well. He continues to come here because he likes Oklahoma and enjoys our students," said Creative Studies department chairman, Dr. Christopher Givan. V

Just trying to stay on the horse provides muscle coordination and balance; the children don't think of it as exercising like
they would in a clinical setting said Milligan. The center is in it's 15th year of providing free therapeutic riding. Students range in age from two' years old to 57 years old, said Milligan. Carrie Cloud, a 12 year old student at Sequoyah Middle School, is also a student at the riding center. She said, "I feel pretty good about it, especially the instructor. It's taught me how to ride and taught me to keep my balance better." Milligan said Cloud started out as a student but has done so well that she has also been helping as a volunteer. The center is funded by donations, both solicited and unsolicited, and is run by volunteers who get on the job training. Milligan said she began the center as a favor to her mother, Lucille Fancey, whose dream it was to begin with. Fancey, who owns the farm teaches riding and jumping. One of Fancey's jumping students had an accident 17 years ago and was paralyzed. She wanted to continue riding and Fancey helped her to ride again. This was the center's first student. Milligan also feels that it is something that God had an important role in starting. The UCO students are great with the children said Milligan but
the center can always use more volunteers. "One person with one hour a week can make a tremendous impact on our program." said Milligan. V

The card had a $10,000 credit limit. Although Moulton said he has not been harassed, he was advised to move to a different dormitory room. "After you get something stolen out of your room, you're not going to stay and let it happen again," he said. Moulton's father said he finds the idea of UCO football players being involved very upsetting. "These guys should be model students and citizens and then they go steal someone's credit card and run up $8,000 in bills," he said. "I think it should be automatic expulsion."
Immediate suspension is what will happen to any football player charged with a felony crime, said Sports Information Director, Mike Kirk. Football officials did not return The Vista's telephone calls. Forbes said about $2,700 worth of merchandise purchased with the VISA has been recovered. Names of the suspects will be released when charges are pressed. Meanwhile, William Moulton said his son is trying to carry on as usual.
"He's just going to class, going to work, and looking over his shoulder a lot." V

KCSC adds new equipment Digital recording improves clarity By Penny Owen Staff Writer
Even the best equipment is only as good as the people who operate it, which is why KCSC classical radio station at the University of Central Oklahoma invited an expert from the East Coast down last week to demonstrate how their new digital recording equipment works. David Glasser is owner of the recording consultation firm "Airshow" in Washington D.C. and an affiliate of National Public Radio. Upon KCSC's request, Glasser made a whirlwind appearance to Oklahoma City to assist KCSC technical personnel in recording the Oklahoma Philharmonic Orchestra. "He comes with some incredible talent," said KCSC engineer Larry Iverson. "He has some sharp ears." Prior to purchasing the new digital recording equipment, KCSC relied on near obsolete methods for taping the symphony perfor-

mances, which are played later on the air. With the new digital techniques, Iverson said the difference in clarity will be like the difference between a tape and a compact disc. But getting this clarity is a complicated process. "Recording a symphony orchestra is a real difficult proposition," Glasser said. "Just to get the
right sound takes a lot of real careful listening and understanding of the music." The session took several hours to accomplish, Iverson said. "What we did was find a good starting point," Glasser said. "Now, everyone expects the radio to sound like the CDs they buy in the store. This technique will provide that." V
Services held for graduate student Funeral services were held last Saturday for University of Central Oklahoma graduate student Miriam Wanjiru Munyenye, who died September 9. Munyenye, who was born in Kenya May 28, 1949, was majoring in elementary school administration. She had already received a bachelor of arts degree in education from UCO. Munyenye is survived by

Spikers second in MSU Pro-Am By Bill Kramer
Sports Editor
Central Oklahoma placed second in the Missouri Southern ProAm Volleyball Invitational Saturday with a 3-1 record in the five-team round-robin tourney, and freshman setter Carrie Peters (Norman), in only her fourth collegiate match, set a school singlematch record for assist percentage (.526). The Lady Bronchos defeated Pittsburg State in five games and beat Southwest Baptist in three straight before falling to Texas Woman's in five games. Peters also established UCO single-match records for assists with 66 and sets with 170 in the Lady Bronchos' loss to TWU. Head coach Mark Herrin said his team showed more consistency in the tournament, compared with the previous week's action. "I saw some good things, and I think we're still putting things together," Herrin said. "It's still early in the season, but I've been pleased with the way the girls have worked to improve and I think we've gotten better every time out."
Carrie Peters
Outside hitter Heather Devine (Edmond) moved up to second on UCO's single-match dig list, compiling 33 against TWU. Her seven aces in another match also ranks second. Sporting a 5-1 record, UCO continues its road swing this weekend, traveling to Magnolia, Ark., to compete in the two-day Southern Arkansas Tournament. V

Melissa Jones, a senior from Edmond, placed third. The UCO men placed third behind Oklahoma Baptist and Southwestn (Kan.). Kyle Skartwed paced the men's team, finishing fifth. Head coach Paul Parent said the teams performed much better than last week. "Everybody made great improvement over last weekend, especially Anita. She ran one of her best races ever," Parent said. "This is a good bunch of kids who will do what you ask of them." Both teams travel to Joplin, Mo., this weekend for the Missouri Southern Invitational with
the men scheduled to run eight kilometers and the women set to run a five-K course. "The Missouri Southern meet will be a real test for us," Parent added. "This is usually one of the best meets of the year, but I think we'll make a strong showing there." V

Braxton, a jock of two trades By Shene Murphy and Bill Kramer
Bo Jackson and Glen Braxton have several things in common. Among them, both Jackson and Braxton are professional athletes who have endured the bumps and bruises associated with playing both football and baseball, and both are at pivotal points in their respective careers. Jackson's story is wellchronicled. The Chicago White Sox outfielder and Los Angeles Raiders running back is attempting a comeback after a careerthreatening injury. Braxton, a 5-11, 225-pound junior from Idabel is a 24-year-old who played five years of pro baseball in the White Sox organization before giving up the sport to concentrate on his education and play college football at the University of Central Oklahoma. A high school All-Stater and All-American in both football and baseball, Braxton originally signed a letter of intent to play both sports at the University of Oklahoma but opted instead to accept a high-dollar baseball contract from the White Sox after being selected in the third round of the June 1985 amateur draft out of high school. After taking last year off for personal reasons, Braxton has re-
turned to UCO with dreams of someday being drafted to play in the NFL. "Football comes easy for me, and I can't get away from it," Braxton said. "But baseball is hard to me. It's more of a finess sport, but football is more of a physical sport." A pretty humble statement from a guy who hit .265 and was named Gulf Coast Rookie of the Year in
It might take some time for him to get used to not living a doublestandard life. Braxton, the high school baseball star, hit .618 in his senior year and blasted 18 homers and had 56 RBI and 20 stolen bases. Braxton, the high school football star, compiled 4,000-plus yards as a prep senior tailback at Idabel and was named Daily Oklahoman 'Back of the Year.' Now, back at UCO, Braxton has

his first pro baseball season at Rookie League Sarasota in 1985. Although he still continued to play baseball in the summers of his first two years at UCO (1988, `89), Braxton said he decided to give up America's pastime last year. "I didn't see anything in baseball or with the White Sox, because they were making changes with personnel," he said.

been moved to tailback after playing two years as a fullback, and he said he is just going to play the waiting game. "I'd like to make it (to the NFL)," he said, "but you never know what's going to happen. There's no way to tell where I'll be tomorrow or at the end of the season." Braxton said most people ask him why he gave up baseball to

"I want to be comfortable," he said. "I don't want to be rich. Money's just trouble. People don't really understand that. You have to worry about where it's going and who your friends are. I don't want that." As for regrets, Braxton said he has few, but signing the baseball contract at such an early age was possibly one of them, he admits. "What really hurt," he said, Glen Braxton
