Regents to discuss fifth college proposal at October meeting Woman forced to swallow cocaine at gunpoint MUSKOGEE, Okla. (AP) — The Muskogee County prosecutor is weighing charges after a Muskogee woman allegedly was ]Forced at gunpoint to swallow cocaine to hide it from police.

Trina Wilkerson, 24, collapsed Wednesday after a police chase of a van carrying her, her boyfriend and another man, police said.

Boyfriend Delbert Newton and Jerome Thompson bailed out, but Newton told police after he and Thompson were captured that Wilkerson had been forced to swallow several rocks of crack cocaine during the chase, Capt.

Tom Spriggs said.

Thompson, has denied making the woman ingest cocaine.

Wilkerson was not able to give a statement after collapsing.

She has not regained consciousness, is on a respirator and "is showing very little signs of anything," Spriggs said Monday.

Universe mostly 'dark matter,' say astronomers NEW YORK (AP) — Astronomers say they may have gotten their first glimpse of the mysterious "dark matter" that makes up as much as 90 percent of the universe.

In reports presented Monday in Italy, an American team and a French team said they have evidence that dark matter is made up of billions of objects the size of Jupiter or larger called MACHOs (massive compact halo onjects). They are stillborn or very dim stars.

Charles Alcock of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, said it is impossible to be certain that dark matter has been seen until more examples are observed.

University remains on censure list of professors

By Terri King Staff Writer

After 26 years, the University of Central Oklahoma still remains on the censure list of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). As a result of the censure, prospective professors who may be considering applying for a position at UCO are informed that UCO is under reprimand.

A proposal for a College of Fine Arts will go before the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges at its regular meeting Oct. 14 and 15, said George Nigh, University of Central Oklahoma president.

The plan would remove some departments within the College of Liberal Arts and place them in the proposed new college.

Last week, Nigh addressed questions and concerns from the 11 department chairs of the College of Liberal Arts.

"It was an informal meeting," Nigh said," "but the chairs voted unanimously to recommend to me that I ask the regents for permission to create a College of Fine Arts."

Nigh said that the Chairs voted for the new college with the understanding that, if approved, the faculty affected would have an input "as to what goes where."

Faculty members have expressed concern regarding their input about the new college.

"As you know, I think it would be helpful if there could be some kind of written outline of the general reorganizational plan so the faculty could better provide input..." said Christopher Givan, professor of creative study, in a Sept. 9 letter addressed to Clifton Warren, dean of the College of Liberal Arts.

Concerns also arose when initially faculty had only three days to express their concerns to Warren about the new college.

"No one should be overly concerned at this point," Nigh said. "I have an obligation to consider all suggestions."

According to Givan's letter, he understood the proposed College of Fine Arts would include Schools of Music, Theater Arts, Visual Arts and Communication.

faculty member at UCO ( because of the censure). We don't know who may have read it and didn't apply," said Dr. Thomas E. Guild, associate professor of business and president of the UCO chapter of the AAUP. The censure is the result of the firing without due process in 1967 of tenured professor, George A. Benz.

In a series of correspondence last summer between the AAUP and UCO president George Nigh, the AAUP presented guidelines for UCO to be removed from the censure list.

"Our principle concerns are... the soundness of the university's faculty regulations when measured against (AAUP) supported standards of academic freedom, academic tenure and academic due process; and redress for the faculty member, Professor George A. Benz," the AAUP stated in its letter to Nigh.

In Nigh's letter to the AAUP, Nigh stated that the current administration, faculty and staff of UCO were not accountable for what happened in 1967.

Edmond, UCO weather forecast: cold and bloody he shots that rang out at a Oklahoma City funeral should e rve as a weather update to Edmond residents, and the T dents, staff and faculty of the University of Central Oklahoma.

A storm looms on the horizon.

There are people in this city, as well as on this campus, who think that gang warfare is a big city problem, and that Edmond is not a big city, and therefore, it's not a problem for us.

But northeast Oklahoma City, where violence erupted at one teenager's funeral Tuesday, isn't that far to the south.

Gang warfare is nothing new. Rival "gangs" of one sort or another have been with us since the dawn of man. But that doesn't mean that there is any excuse for it, or that it is inevitable, or that it can't be stopped.

But the warning signs must be recognized first.

If a tornado touched down in northwest Oklahoma City, Edmond residents would want to know whether or not it was headed there way, but when the warnings of gangs, with their `drive-by' shootings, 'crack' dealers and battles over drugs or `turf,' are sounded, people turn a deaf ear.

There are no magic words, mystical boundaries or sorcerer's spell to protect any one area on the globe from another. Good and Evil cross back and forth daily in numbers that are too frightening to count. If gangs exist anywhere, they can exist in EdmonC, and if gangs exist in Oklahoma City — and we know they do — they surely know the way to Edmond.

Indeed, although officials are reluctant to admit it, some gangs have already found their way here.

Police can't stop the gangs. If they could, gang activity wouldn't be spreading as it is. If any of the measures used to date could stop it, we could all worry more about the weather, than being mortally or fatally wounded by someone's random slug.

That scenario might not seem like real Edmond, America life to some folks. But the winds are blowing a restless cloud of violence toward us, and with it the cold, bloody bodies of victims, innocent or otherwise.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma City, rain falls, a mother mourns the death of her teenage son, and a weary gang member turns greedy, opportunistic eyes to the north, and to Edmond, j ust a few minutes up the road.

Alumnus warns not to surrender Second Amendment rights

I

n and Aug. 27 article of The Sentinel-Record (Hot Springs, Ark.), the author blamed guns for all violence in the U.S. It is in fact, the liberal policies that have brought the country down the path of self-destruction.

There was once a time when reason and logic dictated public policy. A man puts a glass over a lighted candle and it went out. He reasoned that there was something inside the glass that was necessary to keep the candle burning.

But the new liberal policies that infest the minds of our leaders is based, not upon logic and reason, but upon wishful thinking. Liberals wished that unlimited welfare would make folks want to work— it hasn' t. They wish that the most vile of criminals would become ideal citizens if given enough love and understanding— they haven't.

They wish that drug addicts would quit killing and stealing if given treatment and counseling — they didn't. Mr. Bill wished that production would increase and sloth would diminish by punishing achievement and rewarding laziness — it won't. They wish that morals and ethics will soar by ignoring God — they won't.

It is with this same misguided logic that liberals think of guns.

Liberals, in their heart of hearts, wish that guns are the cause of crime in America. They disregard the lessons of the past and the present and simply shout for gun control. (We need that Brady

woman like we need a hole in the head!)

Thirty years ago, punishment for crime was swift and sure. Most of the public owned guns and the crime rate was low.

Everywhere, in this country, that there are strict gun control laws there is a high crime rate by guns.

For example, in Washington, C.C., it is illegal to own a handgun and handgun crimes are rampant.

Machine guns are now illegal in all 50 states and they are the gun of choice of drug dealers. Only the honest citizens don't own them.

Gun laws only disarm the good guys. In fact, the biggest supporter of gun control laws are the criminals that prey on the innocent. An unarmed victim is an easy target.

The only reason that we are not all casualties of the bogey-man is that they don't know which of us are armed. But personal self-defense is only a fringe benefit of our guaranteed constitutional rights.

The founding fathers, in the federalist papers, gave three very important reasons for gun ownership. If everyone disarmed the government must make at least an attempt to follow the Constitution. If the citizens were disarmed, the government would be free to do as they please. How could we stop them?

Also, we protect our government from the military. Many soldiers are furious about sexual deviants being allowed to join. If the public was disarmed, the military

just might be tempted to seize power. How could they be stopped?

And a final point, just because we have our name on the map doesn't mean that we'll be number one forever. If our military fails, as it almost did in Word War II, we will provide for our own last defense. It is downright difficult to invade a country that has 200 million armed and annoyed snipers. The Swiss citizens were armed to the teeth, ready to fight Adolf and his buddies, and they rode out World War II right next door to the beast and didn't lose so much as a sweep second hand.

The news media is very biased and always presents guns in the worst possible light. Whenever drug dealers shoot each other in a turf fight they are usually referred to as "innocent children" hurt playing with evil guns. Thousands of the law-abiding live each year simply because they were able to deter a bad guy by just showing him a gun. I know that it's true, I am one of them who stopped a burglar just by pointing my .44 Smith and Wesson at his chest.

If you surrender your Second Amendment rights, if you give up your right to keep and bear arms, you give up your ability to control your destiny.

FIFTH COLLEGE Continued from Page 1

In addition, two departments from the College of Education would be included in the proposed Fine Arts College.

Nigh said that no reorganization plan has been considered and this plan was arrived at erroneously.

"Dean Warren has presented me with seven unofficial recommendations," he said.

Discussing the seven proposed

The Oklahoma Arts Institute(OAI) is offering internships for fall 1993 and summer 1994 at Quartz Mountain in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma providing practical experience with fundraising, program administration, publication and marketing.

"Internships at the Oklahoma Arts Institute are designed so that both parties gain from the endeavor. The intern completes vital projects for OAI, and learns the steps required to complete the task.

It is an opportunity for them to gain working knowledge and experience that will forward their career, " said the President of OAI, Mary Y. Frates.

The interns will be asked to

breakdowns would only "confuse the issue" at this point, Nigh said.

"There is no decision that has been made as to what would go where," Nigh said. "We are asking for suggestions. We may end up with an eighth recommendation, none of the above."

If approved by the regents, Nigh' s goal is to have a College of Fine Arts implemented by September of 1994. He said a task force would be appointed to oversee the reorganization.

complete an application and an interview prior to acceptance.

"We have a very small staff right now. We need people who enjoy the arts, initiate and follow through, and we need someone who will work on their own," said Kelli L. McKinney, public relations personnel for the OAI. The interns would work mostly in the offices and, "... the institute is willing to work around school schedules, but interns are required to work at least 9 hours a week, " McKinney also added.

The fall camp is for educators and artists over the age of 21, and the summer camp is for artistically- inclined teens ages 14 to 18.

For more information, students and academic advisors should call the OAI at (405) 842-0890, or write P.O. Box 18154, Oklahoma City, OK 73154.

"We are a thriving, growing university of some 16,000 students with literally a waiting list of university professors who would like to apply here. If you want to tell them not to, that is your prerogative," Nigh stated.

In its letter to Nigh, the AAUP gave three actions that Benz has requested in seeking redress. His first request is that he be given the opportunity to visit the campus at UCO to meet with faculty members and officers of the administration to discuss the events leading up to his dismissal. His second request is that several tuition scholarships be established in his name

for students at UCO. And the third is that UCO's procedures for dismissing a faculty member be in accord with generally accepted standards of academic due process. The AAUP has informed Benz that UCO's official policies now achieve the accepted standards of due process.

This week president Nigh stated that no further action has been taken since last summer and it is not now on the agenda.

"It is difficult to discuss something that happened 20 years and three presidents ago. If we are in compliance (with AAUP standards) , then we are in compliance. Their argument is not with me," said Nigh.

Nigh said he has no intention of furthering this matter without knowing more details.

"A few simple things need to be done (to remove the censure). We want to work with Nigh to resolve this in the best interests of the university," Guild said.

Guild said the AAUP is a professional development organization concerned with ensuring faculty members are treated fairly and given due process, and allowing professors the ability to respond to any charges or innuendo that could hurt their careers.

The UCO chapter of the AAUP includes one fourth of UCO's full time faculty, about 100 members, on campus, Guild said.

UCO opens 40-year-old time capsule

By Todd Smethers Student Writer

A piece of the University of Central Oklahoma' s history came to light Saturday morning in Evans Hall.

Overshadowed by the Homecoming parade and festivities, a 40-year-old time capsule was opened before a crowd of alumni, President and Donna Nigh, members of the university's historical society, photographers and a few students.

Approximately three dozen people gathered on the floor of the Special Collections/Archives room to see the opening and the revealing of the capsule's con-

tents.

Before the opening, President Nigh spoke fora few minutes about the excitement of the past and looking to the future of UCO. This capsule was the fourth in UCO's history. It replaced the first capsule which was destroyed when the granite marker designating its site was moved.

The capsule was placed by Lucy Jeston Hampton, professor of history from 1910 to 1958.

"She was the history teacher's history teacher," C.H. Spearman said.

The small, copper capsule was made by Sam Webster, a member of the Industrial Arts department.

It was smaller than a hardbound college dictionary.

Buried near the Caskey Apart-

ments at 19 N. Broadway, the site of the original capsule, it was removed due to the building' s renovation.

The capsule contained a booklet about the Y-chapel, an Oklahoma Education Association convention program dated Oct. 1314, 1949, a partial copy of the school's catalog, a copy of The Vista from April 1952, a program for the memorial service of Cliff Ray Otto, a program for the Fourth of July Festival and a concert program for the Oklahoma Concert Orchestra for Feb. 4, 1946 to be held in the Mitchell Hall Auditor-Wm. "The contents are damp," said Mary L. Bond, archivist for the UCO Archives. "But they are in remarkable condition."

SGA vice president elections end today

By Joyce Kirtley Staff Writer

Voting continues until 5:30 p.m. today in the University Center for the vice-presidential election of the Student Government Association.

The candidates include Dwayne Holford, political science major, Shaye Samora, political science/ education major and Sean Leckie, mortuary science major.

"I'd like to get the organizations more active in campus life. There are 114 organizations, but they do not get involved," said Leckie.

Leckie said he will be helpful to the student government because he can work well with Aaron Montgomery, SGA president, and the rest of the student senate.

"I think that one of the big-

"I'd also like to close the gap between the non-Greeks and Greeks and with the commuters," said Samora.

Holford said that if elected, he wants to reduce or take away the parking fee for students who live in married housing or residence halls.

"I want to also implement a priority list of student's needs that is compatible with President Nigh' s Master Plan," said Holford.

Holford urges students to vote.

"This is the third largest campus in Oklahoma. We have approximately 16,000 students and only a small amount vote."

Dr. Christopher F. Givan, University of Central Oklahoma creative studies professor and chair of the department, has recently returned to UCO after teaching for a year at the University of Hong Kong.

Givan was awarded a Senior Fulbright Lectureship in American literature to teach there.

"I was especially interested to work in a multi-cultural university since the U of Hong Kong is a British style university but with a predominantly Hong Kong Chinese student body," he said.

He taught comparative literature and American studies.

The British approach literature from the perspective of cultural anthropology, Givan said. It is that perspective that he brought to his UCO classes since his return from Hong Kong.

"The British and Chinese have a more formal and private culture

than Americans and Australians do," he said.

The British style of instruction consists mainly of formal lectures, so he said he missed the intellectual stimulation from the students' questions and discussions that he experienced at UCO. The Fulbright Program is a United States Government scholarship program that enables U.S. students and faculty to study and research in participating foreign countries.

Givan said he received a $32,000 grant which included airfare and a rent-free apartment.

"The cost of living in Hong Kong is so high that I could not have done it without the sabbatical pay I received from UCO" he said.

"Two hamburgers with fries and coleslaw, two cocktails, and two coffees cost $65 U.S. at Dan Ryan's Chicago Grill in Hong Kong," he said.

"Hong Kong has old-fashioned gender attitudes," he said. "It's a very '50s place. It has a '50s feel.

"It is very affluent. It had no

recession, has very little unemployment and is very clean and modern."

Givan said he stayed at the University of Hong Kong in a twobedroom flat on the eighth floor overlooking the sea.

"There was no good swimming because the sea was polluted," he said.

Sailing is popular though, as is chartering "junks" for sea-going parties, he said. "Junks" are fishing boats that have been converted to pleasure boats.

"There were three great restaurants at the university," he said.

"They were like private clubs with a view of the ocean."

"Nobody had cars in Hong Kong," he said. "I missed driving and the open spaces of Oklahoma.

It's great to be back," he said.

Those interested in applying for the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Program should contact Dr. Siegfried E. Heit at 341-2980 ext.

5633.

The deadline for consideration for the 1994-95 program is Oct. 31, 1993.

Malaysian candidate wins 2 years in a row

By Steve Sager Staff Writer

"My first feeling was surprise.

Then I thanked God, because before everything was carried out I prayed that the one who won the contest was the one who loved God and people. I am sure God will use the other candidates in other ways," said Sabrina Chang, 1993 Homecoming Queen.

Chang was crowned queen at half-time of the University of Central Oklahoma football game on Saturday.

"When the announcer announced that it was me I was very surprised because I thought that all of the candidates had a very good chance of winning," said Chang.

Chang said she ran for homecoming queen because she wanted

to represent UCO and the Malaysian Student Association, but she also did it for herself.

"I am a very shy person and this was a very good chance for me to train myself," said Chang.

Chang is a senior majoring in management. She plans to graduate in the spring and move to Sydney, Australia where she will manage a friend's furniture firm.

She said that she had never actually been to Australia before but "the place sounds really good."

If she is unable to go to Australia, she would like to return to Singapore and work. She added that this is where her family lives.

"I have many people to thank, especially my escort Lee Yaw Long , my sponsor, Carroll Van Duyn (Director of Housing), the international students and American friends," said Chang.

"I would just like to thank everybody," said Chang.

University of Central Oklahoma police arrested East Hall resident Ramone W. Davis on a felony burglary charge Tuesday.

Davis was also charged with obstructing an officer and possession of a stolen credit card, said arresting officer, Lt. Hays Forbes.

After receiving a tip from an anonymous source that Davis was seen driving a car that the source didn't think was his, police found the car at the University Park Apartments at 300 S. Rankin.

They Tan a check on the car finding that it was reported stolen, Forbes said.

Police then called Davis and requested he come to the station to talk to them about the car. While interviewing him, they ran a check on him, finding that the Dallas Sheriff's office had a warrant for his arrest for residential burglary.

"He gave us a bunch of bogus information about his social security number and said he didn't have any identification," Forbes said.

When Forbes arrested Davis for the Texas warrant, he checked his wallet.

"We found several I. D.'s and a possible stolen credit card," Forbes said.

A check with the credit card company showed that the card was stolen by mail intercept, he said later.

Texas will extradite on a felony warrant, Forbes said.

UCO to offer ancient Indian language

By Steve Sager Staff Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma will offer a new course entitled "Beginning Sanskrit" for the spring 1995 semester.

Dr. Marcia Hakala, chair of the foreign language department, said the course is the first of its kind to be taught in Oklahoma.

"It's an educational experience that we have not had before and I believe that it will bring in students from other campuses.

Hakala said Sanskrit is an an-

cient language of India. One of its important aspects is that much of anc ien t history has been preserved in Sanskrit.

Dr. Vedala S. Acharya, who teaches a course in Hindu philosophy at UCO, will teach the class. Acharya has a Ph.D. in Sanskrit from Andrha University in south India.

Dr. S. Narasinga Rao, director of research at UCO, said that Acharya came to a temple in New York eight years ago as a Sanskrit and Hindu scholar.

He later moved to Chicago where he was responsible for constructing a Hindu Temple.

Acharya came to Oklahoma last

year as a scholar and priest to the India Cultural Foundation and Temple in Oklahoma City.

He has been conducting Sanskrit classes there on Sundays.

Tired of living in poverty, raising three children on minimum wage jobs and having virtually no future for herself or her children, Kathy Allnutt, University of Central Oklahoma freshman changed her life.

Allnutt began working with Denise Perrymore, a Project R.E.A.D. tutor, two years ago and, after three tries, recieved her GED (a high school equivelency test) she scored high enough to enter college.

"ProjectR.E.A.D. is a program that is designed to help adults become literate," said Shirley Conaway, director of Project R.E.A.D. in Edmond.

Allnutt is the first Project R.E.A.D. student to recieve her GED and attributes a lot of her success to her tutor .

"Whenever I would get depressed and feel like I wanted to quit, Denise gave me a lot of con-

there was a lot of homework.

"It's not like you just meet at the library for an hour and do nothing," said Allnutt. "You do most of the work at home and then you review with your tutor."

Perrymore said that Allnutt is the exception to the rule.

"She always, always did more

than I asked her to," said Perrymore. "She was always there and on time. She was totally committed."

Perrymore said that most people start the program but when they realize how hard it is and how much dedication it takes, they drop out.

Allnutt's experience qualifies her to be an advisor to young people.

"Don' t drop out of school. It's not what you think out there," said Allnut.

Allnut is taking sociology and English at UCO. She plans to major in journalism.

She is very involved in the Head Start program for children and was awarded "Volunteer of the Year" for her involvement in Edmond's Head Start program.

"I think the key to keeping children from growing up in poverty as I did, is to teach them selfrespect at an early age, "said Allnutt.

Allnutt will be one of the speakers at the Project R.E.A.D. dinner Sept. 30.

Health care most important issue, recent poll says NEW YORK (AP) — Americans overwhelmingly believe the nation's health care system is in trouble, but anew poll found them divided over whether President Clinton will be able to fix it.

Three out of four respondents said the current health system is headed for a financial crisis. And when asked to rate the most important problem facing the country today, 19 percent said health care, a larger number than named unemployment (16 percent), the economy (15 percent), or crime and violence (10 percent), according to a CBS News-New York Times poll released Tuesday.

Forty-two percent said the nation needs to "completely rebuild" the health care system, with another 48 percent calling for "fundamental change." The sentiment ran across party lines, with 85 percent of Republicans saying they supported change.

Four out of five people polled believe their taxes will go up to pay for the Clinton health care plan, and 61 percent said they were willing to pay more taxes for better health care.

Zonta awards offered to women for graduate study of aerospace

By Michelle PeIler

Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma is offering the Zonta International Foundation Amelia Earhart Fellowship Awards for women for graduate study in aerospace-related sciences and aerospace-related engineering for 1994-95 academic year.

The awards memorialize Amelia Earhart who disappeared over the Pacific in 1937.

It is anticipated that 33-35 grants will be made for the 199495 academic year.

"We didn't have anything from them last year," said Debbie Reed, assistant scholarship coordinator.

A woman must have a bachelor's degree in a qualifying area of science or engineering

which is closely related to advanced studies in the aerospacerelated sciences.

One must have a superior academic record and evidence of potential at a recognized institute of higher learning as demonstrated by transcripts, recommendations and acceptance or verification by an institution of higher learning with accredited courses in aerospace-related studies.

A woman must have completed a year of graduate school at a well recognized institution of higher learning or evidence of a well defined research and development program as demonstrated by publications or a senior research project.

The Amelia Earhart Fellowship Award is paid in two installments: $3,000 in Sept. and $3,000 in Dec. Other grants and scholarships may

be received by the fellow in addition to her Amelia Earhart Fellowship Award.

The award money may be used for tuition, books and fees for the program of study for living expenses while in the program.

Candidates are evaluated by a committee of Zonta educators and scientists.

Applications and recommendations must be postmarked by Dec. 1, 1993 and received by Dec. 7 to be considered. Award recipients will be notified on or before May 15, 1994.

For more information, students may contact the Zonta International Foundation at 557 W. Randolph St., Chicago, Illinois 60661-2206 USA (312) 930-5848 or receive an application at the financial aid counter in the Administration Building.

Yeltsin announces constitution elections MOSCOW (AP) — In what amounted to a coup against his longtime foes, Boris Yeltsin went on television Tuesday night and announcedDecember elections to a constitution, which he has been trying to replace, and was aimed at breaking the stalemate that has paralyzed Russia's government for more than a year.

Yeltsin warned that any attempt to block h im would be "punished by law."

Growing support came from President Clinton and other world leaders. British Prime Minister John Major today praised Yeltsin's "courageous efforts in the face of great difficulties."

German Chancellor Helmut Kohl said the promise of new elections "earns our full support" Yeltsin was gambling that he would win the backing of the rnilitary and the people and end up with a new parliament more receptive to his economic and political reforms.

The stakes were high. Yeltsin's move could determine what kind of government emerges from the chaos of the post-Soviet era. And it could finally settle the question

of who rules Russia: the president or parliament.

The Communist-dominated parliament, which has consistently blocked Yeltsin's initiatives and whittled away his power, has little popular support.

The gamble seemed to be paying off today. Lawmakers voted to replace the defense, interior and security ministers — a clear sign that Yeltsin had won the loyalty of the top leadership of the military, police and former KGB. But it was unclear which way the career officer corps would lean.

Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin said the entire Cabinet supported Yeltsin. But Foreign Economics Minister Sergei Glaziev submitted his resignation, calling Yeltsin's decree unconstitutional.

Yeltsin's main opponent, parliament speaker Ruslan Khasbulatov, indicated that lawmakers faced an uphill battle. He said the first task of their new defense minister, Col. Gen. Vyacheslav Achalov, "is very simple: It is to establish control over the armed forces."

Government Defense Minister

Pavel Grachev said Achalov tried to order military units to deploy around parliament "with their service weapons immediately." He said the military would not obey the orders.

Khasbulatov, looking haggard after a sleepless night, said today that local governments in some parts of Russia had denounced Yeltsin. "More than 20 regions have already condemned the coup d'etat and expressed support for the constitutional system," he said.

There appeared to be little public reaction to Yeltsin's action.

After Yeltsin's television appearance, about 150 lawmakers rushed to their headquarters at the White House and immediately voted to impeach Yeltsin and replace him with Rutskoi.

Rutskoi's first decree nullifed Yeltsin's action and ordered all government leaders to obey him and the parliament.

Constitutional Court chief Valery Zorkin told lawmakers the panel had found Yeltsin's move unconstitutional and there were sufficient grounds to impeach him.

The court's vote was 9-4 against Yeltsin.

Former Miss America dead at 75 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Henrietta M. Mider, Miss America of 1935, died Saturday of cancer. She was 75.

The former Henrietta Leaver of Pennsylvania was 17 when she won the pageant.

After her crowning, she posed for a sculptor in a bathing suit used for the pageant. But when the statue was displayed, the bathing suit was gone, making it appear she had posed nude.

Despite the controversy, she kept her title.

Clinton plans marketing gimmicks to sell health care package WASHINGTON (AP) — Fax machines, toll-free phone numbers, house parties, TV town halls, surrogate speakers: The Clinton White House plans to use every gimmick of modern communications to sell its health care package to the American people.

It's pure and simple marketing.

The goal is to take a proposal of mind-numbing complexity and reduce it to six warm, fuzzy principles that are bard to argue against: security, choice, savings, quality, simplicity, responsibility.

"Health care that's always there," will be a key slogan.

The audience is a public that is both hopeful and skeptical — anxious for more secure and affordable health coverage, yet worried it may end up paying more for less.

Teenager sentenced to three years for stealing ice cream bars ATLANTA (AP) — A teen-ager who got three years in prison for stealing $20 worth of ice cream bars from a school freezer won't have to do the time.

The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles granted Dchundra Caldwell probation Monday.

"Our job is to be the conscience of the state, to decide when a sentence is fair," chairman Tommy Morris said.

Morris said that Caldwell's sentence was unusually harsh but that he found no reason to suspect the 17-year-old was treated that way because he is black, as some had claimed.

Superior Court Judge Andrew Whalen, who is white, sentenced Caldwell after the teen-ager pleaded guilty Aug. 23, Caldwell served 10 days before being released on bail pending the board's decision.

Under terms of his probation, he must finish high school and tutor a fellow student. A burglary conviction will stay on his record.

Whalen said the case was handled properly.

The University of Central Oklahoma is seeing a higher number of international students enrolling each semester.

"UCO - It Keeps Growing and Growing and Growing...", the slogan goes and so it is with the enrollment of international students. The number of international students went up to 1,230 from 76 countries compared to 1,128 of Fall 1992.

Students from Bosnia Herzegovinia, Croatia and Macedonia were enrolled for the first time.

about our school, said Dr. Ronald L. Paddack, director of the international office.

The best recruiters for the school however have been former students who have gone back to their countries.

"In the 17 and a half years that I've been here I've seen younger brothers and sisters of former students," Paddack added.

Most of the international students have gone back to very prominent positions in their countries. Paddack mentioned a former minister of Uganda and a Secretary of Tourism in Taiwan as former students of UCO. He said all UCO alumni in Taiwan were well placed in government and business.

Paddack said he hopes more American students will realize that "by associating with our international students now, they might be friends with future leaders of other countries."

WASHINGTON (AP) —Military bases that escaped the 1993 round of closings could have a short-lived reprieve with both the Pentagon and Congress intent on a leaner post-Cold War defense.

Congress resoundingly endorsed the Pentagon's smaller-isbetter strategy Monday by agreeing to close 130 bases and scale back 45 others despite the loss of thousands of jobs.

The Senate vote was 83-12 to accept the recommendations of the seven-member Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The recommendations now go into effect, since negative votes by both houses of Congress are required to override the cornmission.

The next round of closings is set for 1995, and Defense Secretary Les Aspin said when he released the Pentagon's strategy in August that even more closings will be required.

Aspin's plan scales back the military to 10 Army divisions, 12 Navy aircraft carriers and 20 Air Force wings and reduces the ac-

tive duty force to 1.4 million uniformed men and women.

Cuts in the defense infrastructure has lagged behind the downsizing of the military force, and senators want to ensure that the reductions are commensurate.

Senate Armed Services Chairman Sam Nunn, D-Ga., warned

99 The Cold Warhas passed us. We're in a time of slowdown... we don't need all the bases, and basically we can't continue to pay for them.

—Sen. John GlendD-Ohio

that failure to close bases will return the military to the hollow force of the 1970s when the government "kept the bases and eroded the readiness of forces to fight."

Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio and a member of the Armed Services panel, sympathized with lawmak-

ers whose states are losing bases but said it was necessary.

"The Cold War has passed us," he said. "We're in a time of slowdown. ... We don't need all these bases, and basically we can't continue to pay for them."

Even senators whose states suffer, including John Warner, RVa., and Howell Heflin, D-Ala., backed the base closures.

"We have to support the process," Heflin said. "We have to downsize. We have to consolidate."

The bulk of the direct job losses will be concentrated in three states.

Hardest hit are California, slated to lose more than 40,000 military and civilian defense-related jobs; Florida, facing the loss of 22,000 jobs; and South Carolina, which is expected to lose more than 14,700 jobs.

Among the major installations on the list are Alameda Naval Air Station in California, the Orlando Naval Training Center in Florida and the Charleston Naval Station and Naval Shipyard in South Carolina.

Alabama train wreck kills 26 SARALAND, Ala. (AP) — An Amtrak -train jumped the tracks and plunged into a foggy bayou before daybreak Tuesday, trapping passengers in a submerged car and killing at least 26 people, authorities said.

Steve Huffman, public information officer for the Mobile fire department, put the number of confirmed dead at 26, and authorities said they feared it could go higher. One of the train's four passenger cars was completely submerged; the train had more than 200 people aboard.

"We do have fatalities, and it looks like it will be a large number," said Huffman.

Earlier, an Amtrak spokesman said 70 people were originally unaccounted-for.

All three engines and four of the eight cars on Amtrak's Sunset Limited derailed just after 3 a.m. in a remote, swampy area on the northern outskirts of Mobile, Amtrak spokesman Clifford Black

said in Washington. Two of the derailed cars were passenger cars, he said.

It was the deadliest crash in the history of Amtrak, created in 1970 to run the nation's long-distance passenger trains. Sixteen people were killed Jan. 4, 1987, in an Amtrak crash in Chase, Md. The Coast Guard used helicopters and boats to pull scores of people from the murky water, and sent divers in to look for others.

The cause of the accident was not immediately known.

The train was en route from Los Angeles to Miami, with about 200 passengers and 12 to 15 crew members believed aboard, Black said.

Coast Guard officials at the scene reported that some bodies were being recovered. Police set up a temporary morgue at a lumber company and dozens of ambulances were sent to transport the injured.

Volunteers in boats left from

area marinas to help bring the passengers to shore. Another Amtrak train was sent in to transport survivors.

One car was completely submerged and another was partially underwater, said Richard Hutchinson, a Coast Guard group operations controller in Mobile.

The accident occurred where a railroad bridge crosses over the Mobile River and Bayou Sara Creek.

At the Amtrak station in Pensacola, Fla., Terri Maddox awaited word of her mother, Shirley Anderson of Portland, Ore., who was on her way to Pensacola for a visit with her daughter. "I'm a nervous wreck," Ms. Maddox said.

She said her mother is afraid of flying. "It is still probably safer than flying," Ms. Maddox said. "I guess my mother will have the final say on that. I think she's flown before and she's had a few bad trips with turbulence."

Prevention added to health plan There's more than an ounce of prevention built into President Clinton's health care reform package.

For the first time, all Americans would be guaranteed no-cost physical exams and diagnostic screening for such things as breast cancer and cholesterol levels, according to a widely circulated draft of the Clinton plan. All childhood immunizations would be covered.

These basic benefits are a maj or selling point of the plan, since they are not included in most traditional health insurance policies.

Yet there are limits to the plan's reach.

Some doctors disagree with the rigid schedule set for physical exams, mammograms and Pap smears. Preventative dental care is provided for children but not for adults. The same is true for eye glasses. And it wouldn't be until 2001 that mental illness would be treated more on par with physical ailments.

The plan would give a National Health Board discretion to add benefits "if savings from reform and bu dg et resources permit." The first expansion is likely to be wider dental coverage.

Most preventive services would be provided at no cost. Other services require co-payments, with the maximum annual cost to the consumer set at $1,500 for an individual and $3,000 for a family.

Dr. Kathleen Weaver, an internist, said patients tend to have physical examinations more regularly if their insurance pays.

"You can catch things earlier, there are so many screening tests," she said. "you get to see them over a period of time so you can see if there are changes in their physical, behavioral or emotional status."

And that, she said should lead to healthier Americans.

Hospital services would be covered, as would use of the emergency room. So would hospices

and home health care. The plan also covers a portion of doctors' fees and prescription drugs.

Also covered are health classes: smoking cessation, nutritional counseling, stress management, skin cancer prevention and physical training.

The plan establishes a regular schedule for physical examinations: every three years for adults age 20-39, every tow years for those 40 to 65 and annually for those 65 and older.

Dr. J. Leonard Lictenfeld likes to see patients annually after they turn 50.

"An annual exam is a lot more than the laying on of hands," he said. "It's a chance to make sure the patient is getting counseling about risk prevention and family history."

For children, the plan allows for seven well-child visits for newborns to age 2, two for children ages 3-5 and five for those from 619.

College students score low on credit survey

By Rodney Gordon

Student Writer

In a recent survey to test the knowledge of college students in consumer and financial issues, participants scored only 53 percent correct on questions pertaining to credit issues when they could have scored 25 percent by guessing.

The survey, sponsored by the ConsumerFederation on America and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc., also indicated that students scored 58 percent correct for auto insurance, 53 percent correct on checking and savings and 43 percent correct on life insurance.

"Scoring low on questions about life insurance is not particularly surprising, since most students do not use those products. But when so many are uninformed about products they are using everyday like banking and credit — that is cause for concern," said Gail Wasserman, director of public affairs at American Express Company.

Only 22 percent knew that the annual percentage rate is the best indicator of the cost of a loan and only 30 percent knew that when a credit card balance is carried from month to month, the consumer loses the grace period.

On the other hand, 92 percent knew that when lenders are considering approving a loan, the most important factors used are billpaying records and income, and

68 percent knew that a collection agency is not allowed to discuss a consumer's debt.

The 38-question multiple choice test surveyed 2,010 students on 75 campuses, representing a sample of full-time juniors and seniors attending four-year colleges and universities.

credit considerably by learning how to manage their credit cards better and understanding all aspects of the cards they use," Wasserman said.

To help educate students on using credit cards wisely, the American Express Company has developed a brochure called A

Student's Plain English Dictionary of Credit Terms.

In addition to definitions, the brochure also includes 15 tips to assist college students in becoming financially responsible.

"Credit cards in our society today are more of a convenience than anything else, you don' t need a credit card," said Randal Ice, assistant professor of finance at the University of Central Okla-

institutions...In general, credit cards should be used and paid off immediately, do not carry balances on them. The reason is the cost is so high and there are several kinds of costs on credit cards," Ice said.

The two main costs are the annual fee and the interest charged on those that don' t pay the balance every month. The reason for high interest rates is because the default rate (number of people that don't pay their credit bills) is so high, Ice said.

"Let's suppose I give credit cards to college students, maybe there is a ten percent default rate for college students and I know I have to make eight percent on my money, I'm going to charge an 18 percent interest rate in order to

price...this

is to cover their costs, default and operating costs," Ice said.

Charge cards also make money by charging a high annual fee, he added.

"The average student will tend to become overextended because you're getting out there and you're starting a career and there is a lot of pressure for you to buy stuff, you think — I need clothes for my career, I need furniture for my house, I need a new car, a new computer...you can't get out of school and assume the standard of living that your parents have achieved by working 30 years," Ice said.

Ice added that the first step for students is a gas card and then a

department store card, eventually moving on to a bank card.

Once a student has a bank card, there is no need for the other cards, Ice said. Almost all gas stations and department stores accept bank cards.

"Too much credit is dangerous," he added.

If a student is in financial trouble and can't pay their bills, Ice suggested calling the Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS), a United Way organization, before students consider bankruptcy.

"They are very reputable and they will help you out of debt, they may chop up your credit cards, but some people need to have their credit cards chopped up," he said.

Ice warns those in trouble that this is the best alternative to bankruptcy, which can cloud a persons credit for up to ten years.

Applying for joint credit cards with other people is also dangerous, Ice said.

"If you're not married or related to somebody, I wouldn't get a credit card with them. " To obtain a free copy of A

Tobacco use among 18 to 24-year-olds continues to rise

By Bobbi Beldon

Student Writer

The use of chewing tobacco in Oklahoma continues to show a high amount of usage among males 18-24 years old and has risen from 22 percent in 1988 to 24.8 percent in 1992 according to data

obtained by the Oklahoma State Department of Health.

Spitting tobacco comes in two main forms. Chewing tobacco is large, rough cut strips of tobacco leaves, often cured with sugar.

Snuff is a much finer cut of tobacco.

Long-term nicotine dependence is only one of the health risks involved with regular smokeless

tobacco use, stated the American Cancer Society.

Elevated blood levels of nicotine, changes in heart rate and blood pressure are similar in magnitude to those experienced by cigarette smokers.

Because chewing tobacco often contains fine particles of grit, users tend to have greater tooth wear.

Snuff users often have problems

with receding gums creating a greater risk for tooth decay. " During the soft tissue exam, a dentist can target the chronic tobacco user. The gum tissue has a clear demarcation showing a rough, whitish area instead of the usually healthy gums, which are soft and pink in appearance, " said Mark Hanstein, Oklahoma City dentist. " The prognosis is higher

if the cells have not reached the base membrane because the epithelial cells in the mouth turn over quickly."

Heavy liquor intake can also affect the mouth tissues adversely by drying out the mouth. Therefore, the combination of tobacco and alcohol raises the risk of oral cancer according to the American Cancer Society.

Bronchos keep foe from making it's point

The University of Central Oklahoma football team walked over it's first two opponents, winning by a combined score of 67-7. But the Bronchos, appropriately enough, saved it's thriller for home c ommin g With 1:45 remaining in the game, the UCO defense rose to the occasion and stopped a potential game-winning two-point conversion by Sountern Utah to preserve a 21-20 victory in front of nearly five-thousand fans at Wantland stadium saturday afternoon.

The Thunderbirds drove 86 yards in 14 plays with a little over seven minutes remaining to pull within one. Southern Utah then decided to go for the win by sending tailback Daniel Harris, who led all rushers with 134 yards on 28 carries, on a short plunge into the line for no-gain.

"All I was thinking was stop them, just stop them," said UCO defensive end Ira Richards in referring to that play. Richards had UCO's Tyrone Jones runs against Southern Utah.

Spikers to host invitational

By Justin Harper Sports Editor

The Central Oklahoma volleyball squad needed just nine games to win three matches last week and up it's record to 7-3 overall and 2-0 in the Lone Star Conference.

UCO notched the treestraight wins by defeating Southern Nazarene 16-14, 15-5, 15-12 early last week, then dropped Texas A&M-Kingsville twice over the weekend in Kingsville, Texas. The

Lady Bronchos swept TAMUK by scores of 1614, 15-7, 15-3 and 15-8, 15-7, 15-7.

UCO, which is on a five-match winning streak, will host the Lady Broncho Invitational Friday and Saturday at Hamilton -Field House.

UCO will play four matches in the invitational, which includes 12th-ranked West Texas A&M, Cameron, East Texas State, Drury and Fort Hays State.

Coach Mark Herrin was pleased with his

clubs three wins.

"We continue to make good progress and are getting better, but we've still got a long way to go."

Just how far the Lady Bronchos have to go could be determined this weekend when they clash with LSC powers WTAMU and ETSU. "This will be a big weekend for us," Herrin said, adding that UCO "will be able to tell just how far we've come and just how far we've got left to go."

Seniors Gary Hamer and Ursula Wabaunsee each claimed top-10 finishes to pace the Broncho and Lady Broncho cross country teams in the 24th annual Oklahoma Christian Invitational Saturday at OCUSA. Hamer cruised through the 8K men's course in 26:57 to notch a second-place finish and came in just 12 seconds off the winning time.

Freshman Jason Larabee had his second straight stong race for the Bronchos, as his 28:03 time earned him a second-straight ninth-place finish.

Wabaunsee led the Lady Bronchos by coasting through the bland 5K course in 22:30 tc claim fourth-place.

Junior Ashley Mathis jogged in 14 seconds later to grab fifth place.

Meanwhile, Brea Wilson (7th), Francie B risco (9th) and Mylissa Hall (10th) all placed high for the Lady Bronchos.

The UCO runners will host the third annual UCO/Lake Arcadia Challenge Saturday at Lake Arcadia. The women will start at 9 a.m., followed by the men at 9:30 a.m.
