Nigh pleased with enrollment TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Enrollment is up for all but two colleges in Oklahoma, and Tulsa Junior College now has more students than the home campuses of the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma
State. According to the State Regents for Higher Education, nearly all colleges posted a gain in fall enrollment compared to the 1991 fall semester, from three more students at Murray State College to 825 more students at the University of Central Oklahoma. "We are extremely pleased with the enrollment figures, even though they do present us with the problem of finding space for all the class sections necessary to meet the demand," President George Nigh said. UCO has been offering more afternoon classes to alleviate the cramped classrooms caused by the record enrollment of 15,839 students.
Rec kless pilot not welcome in ex-1 oyes home EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — A love-sick pilot who buzzed his ex-girlfriend's neighborhood for nearly two hours was overwhelmed with emotion but low on fuel —and crashed into her living room when the plane' s tank ran dry. "I told him he wasn't welcome in my home," said the woman's father as he surveyed a living room filled with shattered glass and bits of aluminium fuselage on Wednesday. "I guess this is how he got in." The woman, Donna Lorenz, and her parents fled the house before the crash, which leftpilot Randy Mock with serious skull fractures and facial injuries.

The year of women in politics By Tami Watson Staff Writer
It's been said that "if women ran America, there would never be a war, just some intense negotiations every 28 days." That little joke may soon be laid to rest as more and more women jump into the political arena. With 150 women candidates (94 Democrats, 54 Republicans and two Independents) vying for seats in the United States House of Representatives, by far the largest number ever, 1992 has been coined the "Year of the Woman." Statistics show that women are running in record numbers, winning primary elections and bringing in campaign funds like never before. WISH (for Women in the Senate and House) raised $150,000 in its first two months and the National Organization for Women, which usually gains 2,000 new members a month, at $25 a year, signed up 13,000 in the two months following the Clarence Thomas hearings, which drew many women into electoral politics because they were disgusted by the behavior of the all-male Senate Judiciary Committee. "The press has just begun to recognize women, and women are just realizing that they can be elected and make excellect politicians," said Oklahoma Sen. Helen Cole. Women are starting to recognize that they have something to offer society, something new, she said. "I think people are looking for a new perspective, not just women, but any group who has not been represented in the past," said Laurie Williams, Democratic nominee for Oklahoma's fifth district seat in the House of Representatives. The increase in women running for political offices raises a question -- What if women ran America? If government was controlled by women would things really be different? A poll of 1,222 Americans taken by LIFE magazine to see what women want shows that
men and women agree that the economy, education and health care should come before foreign affairs. And, overall, men and women agree on abortion, saying it should be legal with some restrictions.
The following results of the LIFE poll show how women feel about important issues.
Family The majority of Americans, more women than men, support
programs that would help working parents. Eighty-four percent of younger women favor paid maternity leave; just half of the older men agree. Eighty-six V See Women, page 5

Women in Congress •More women than ever are chancing a trip to the nation's Capitol
A new Senate. A reformed House of Representatives. The 1992 elections could create some much needed changes in the United States Congress. Eleven women are in the race for seats in the Senate and 105 women are running for positions in the House. These numbers reflect a tremendous increase in the amount of women testing the male-dominated political waters — and not drowning. In 1990, eight women ran for the Senate — and two won. And 70 women entered the race for the House with 29 winning seats. Throughout the primary season, women overwhelmingly succeeded in capturing their party's nominations. But now these women must steal the voter's approval in November's general election. With the events of the past year, women should vote in record numbers. Women resent the outcome of the Anita HillClarence Thomas ordeal. Women were appalled at the verdict in the William Kennedy Smith trial. And women argue violently for the right to abortion. Maybe if the women are elected checkbooks will be balanced and the House bank won't be closed. Maybe arguments can be solved rationally without the male ego taking over. And tasks may be completed on schedule. The American people are pleading to the Democratic Congress to pass bills faster, to quit spiteing the president and to spend less money on frivolous items in order to give money to causes and people that need it. If the "I-need-to-take-classes-in-sensitivity" and the "Watch-out-it-may-be-that-time-of-the-month" remarks cease, if men forget about dominance and rely on cooperation with females rather than battles of the sexes and if the feminist jokes are retired — women will have a real chance of turning the country around and making the changes that need to be made in Congress.

Homosexuals are I
heard a professor just the other day refer to homosexuality as a fad. This professor had the audacity to say that "I don' t understand these guys who say they're gay. They're just doing it to be in style." What was that professor thinking? Would anyone consciously choose a lifestyle knowing full well that they will become subject to ridicule, degredation, and possibly bodily harm, simply to be rave? I think not. I realize we live
in the land of Garth Brooks & Color Me B add, but why must we hide reality? The enigma of our generation is our parent's generation, who would rather deny facts than answer the questions. I'm tired of hearing that homosexuals are immoral, that they shouldn't be recognized as humans in our society, and even that they don't really exist in our life and time. It's time that America and the World put aside our ethnocentric

I think we should throw out all that our parents and grandparents taught about human relations and begin again with at least a holistic effort to look at each other without a judgmental eye.

38-year-old man caught after asking UCO student ... vote ... vote ... vote ... for sex favors, underwear Vote ... vote By Tami Watson Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma police arrested a white male Thursday for allegedly soliciting sexual favors in exchange for money, said Lt. Hayes Forbes, campus police. William Mark Dendy, 38, was apprehended at approximately 11:20 a.m. on Sept. 24 at UCO's Max Chambers Library after trying to buy underwear from a 22-year-old white female UCO student. "The young lady reported that a man motioned to her at Sonic on the morning of Sept. 23," said Forbes. "He then offered her money for sexual favors and her underwear."

Portable buildings house coeds, not secret government agents
The large ominous portable structures sitting awkwardly in between the Liberal Arts and Business buildings have left many students wondering if the campus is under surveillance or possibly being investigated by the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.). Students can now lay these imaginative ideas to rest. The buildings will be used for classroom space, said Joyce Mounce, vice president of administration. The very large classes will move into the portables to gain larger classroom space, as many of the classes are creating fire hazards, said Mounce. "The State Regents set certain safety standards for the school and we were exceeding those standards," she said. Mounce said they split some sections into separate classes, but because of staff shortage the portables were necessary. "Classes from almost every building, all except the business and math buildings, will use the portables, " said Mounce.

`MST' offbeat and witty 'Mohicans' stays true to Cooper's classic saga
By Travis Clark Student Writer
One of the fads of college students is to stay up late, really late and watch really terrible movies and make fun of them. Why waste your energy? Making fun of movies takes
T.V. Review creativity, thought, and some sober thinking. So why not make a television show where people make fun of extremely bad movies (You know, like "Godzilla vs. George Bush" or
even the State of the Union address) and allude to archaic television shows (like "The Second Hundred Years'" or "Knight Rider"). Too bad. It's already been done. The Comedy Channel, which we can not get in Oklahoma, presents "Mystery Science Theater 3000" on Saturday nights. This show features four robots and one human. The human has been deemed as a subject of a heinous experiment in which he is subjected to bad movies and/or television shows. During these shows the human subject and two robots, usually Crow and Tom Servo (Tom Servo is
made of a bubble gum machine, Crow is rather sentimental about other robots being portrayed in movies), make remarks that every person wishes that they made. This may seem rather stupid to the populous of the unknowing, but "MST" as it is called by addicts, has quite a following. The July edition of Omni Magazine did a full review on the television show. As it is, Oklahoma does not have Comedy Central so that aspiring students cannot waste their brains away and laugh hysterically at this revolutionary new television show. Unless UCO acquires a satellite dish.

When first seeing the trailers of James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans," starring Daniel Day-Lewis, one thought of a Mel Gibson-meetsDances With Wolves-meets the Great American Novel. And how wrong can one be? Extremely wrong. "The Last of the Mohicans," directed by Michael Mann, is the first in a series of films to
Film Review try to depict the Great American Novel. Later on in the fall, "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck will be released and Martin Scorcese will release "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton. Amazingly enough, Mann does a fairly good job of directing. With Peter ("Dead Poet's Society," and "Witness") Weir-like scenes of the North Carolina mountains, and an almost disregard for the action scenes, Mann gives the audience a fair assessment of the book.
Day-Lewis' acting, though not on the par of his prior film "My Left Foot," is appropriate and in character as Hawkeye, the adopted son of the Mohican Chingachgook. He plays the part well, and with his solid features his performance is visually believable. He plays the part as if Cooper would have wanted him to play it. Madeleine Stowe does a good job playing Cora Munro, Hawkeye's love. She does not underact or overact, yet she brings the character to life. Though this movie may at first draw many people with the trailers, it may disappoint those who are used to the "Lethal Weapon"/"Die Hard" genre of movie. This is a real movie, where the story takes precedence over acting, action or visual affects. If giving a rating, this movie earns a 4 out of 5. The action is good, but underplayed. The reconstruction of the time period is excellent. The acting is superb, and the directing is perfect. Though no one can actually transcribe a book to a movie and do it justice, Michael Mann has given an excellent tribute to Cooper's Novel.

Garth's miles don't reach dying child NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A congressman's attack on country music star Garth Brooks for not meeting a dying child wronged an entertainer known for his generosity, supporters say. Rep. Dan Burton, R-Ind., criticized Brooks in a Sept. 10 statement on the House floor. He said Brooks failed to meet with Amanda Hubbard, a terminally ill 12-year-old from Fairmount, Ind., after a concert at the Indiana State Fair last month. The girl, whose last wish was to meet Brooks, died Aug. 26. "Garth goes the third, fourth and fifth mile. He does everything he can to fulfill fans' request," said Larry Jones, president of Feed the Children, a relief organization.
Bill and Barbara funnest mom and dad NEW YORK (AP) — It would be more fun to have Bill Clinton for a father, Barbara Bush for a mother and George Bush to babysit the kids, according to a poll of college students conducted by Spy magazine. The poll was released Thursday by tape manufacturer TDK and the satirical magazine Spy. One question involved cheating on college work. Among the four men on the two major-party tickets, Vice President Dan Quayle was picked by 55 percent as the most likely to have cheated in college. Clinton was second at 27 percent. A majority favored Hillary Clinton over Mrs. Bush for president, but 56 percent said they would prefer to have Mrs. Bush over Mrs. Clinton as their mother.
Fisherman feeds wife-eating sharks TOKYO (AP) — Police have arrested a fisherman and his cousin for trying to feed the fisherman's wife to sharks after an argument, a local police spokesman said on Friday. The fisherman threw his wife into a net and dragged her behind his boat in shark-infested waters for about half an hour, said police spokesman Yasuo Kikuchi in Iyo, about 425 miles southwest of Tokyo. "I will use you as a bait for the sharks," the 40-year-old fisherman, Motoichi Nishimura, reportedly told his wife, Rumiko, before throwing her into the water. She suffered only minor bruises, police said.

percent of women and only 58 percent of men want the government to help develop child care programs. This is largely due to the increased number of women in the work force. "More women are entering professions that weren't available in the past," said Cole. 'There are more women in the work force, not necessarily because they want to be, but it almost takes two incomes for a family to survive." "We don't have the family unit as we did in the '50s," said Williams. "We need to do everything we can to improve the family unit."
Poverty Forty-four percent of women and 29 percent of men believe the problem of poverty and homelessness should be an extremely high priority. However, 88 percent support laws that would require welfare recipients to work if they can. Ninety-one percent of men and women favor increased spending for child care so parents on welfare can work or go to school.
Abortion The legal status of abortion would not change if America
were run by women. The poll shows that men and women agree that abortion should be legal, with some restrictions. Overall, men were somewhat more supportive of legal abortion than women. Fiftythree percent of younger women favor access to legal abortion in most circumstances, while just 36 percent of women over age 45 agree.
Workplace Women take equality in the workplace much more seriously than men do. Women rated unequal pay for equal work, sexual harassment, discrimination in hiring and promotions and childcare as very serious problems for women. "If I'm going to play the same game, I can open my own door and carry my own briefcase," said Cole.
Crime Seven out of ten women favor making it harder to buy firearms, while half of the men agree. Views on capital punishment are somewhat cloudy, with 40 percent of women and only 33 percent of men choosing life imprisonment for murderers. Fifty-four percent of men and 46 percent of women prefer the
death penalty. Women more strongly believe that addressing social problems is a better way to reduce crime than increasing law enforcement.
Violence Fifty-five percent of women and 46 percent of men say the government should make fighting crime and violence a high priority. More women than men say the law is not hard enough on drug dealing, rape, sexual assault and wife abuse. Seventy-six percent of women and 58 percent of men say the system should be tougher on drunk driving offenders. If women ran America would it be a better place? Nearly six in ten people say it would not make much difference whether men or women ran the government. Still, one in three believe America would be better if women were in charge. "It's good to see more women involved, yet not all women," said Cole. "It's good to have a balance of men and women." Sixty-one percent hope to see a woman elected president in their lifetime. More women than men hope for a woman president, but more men than women believe it will happen. And with women currently voting in greater numbers than men, the chances seem good.

The Broncho express rolls on with big-time win over CSUN By Justin Harper Sports Editor Undefeated, unranked and unappreciated no longer applies to the Central Oklahoma football team. Well, almost. The undefeated part still stands after defeating Cal-State Northridge 14-0 Saturday at Wantland Stadium. The unranked part should change early this week when the NCAA II poll comes out. However the unappreciated part was the biggest misconception about the 1992 Bronchos, 4,527 fans made their way to the UCO game and all but the CSUN faithful left happy.

UCO again selected to host tennis finals From staff reports The University of Central Oklahoma has been selected to host the 1993 NCAA Division II Men's Tennis Championships. It will be the third straight year for UCO, the KickingBird Tennis Center and the City of Edmond to host the tournament, with the 1993 event set for May 14-20. "We're excited about returning to Edmond and the University of Central Oklahoma," said Dan Calandro, assistant director of championships for the NCAA. "The committee knows it's a lot of work to put on a tournament like this and we're real appreciative that UCO and KickingBird wanted us back for a third year. "It's been a good two years and there's no reason to think the 1993 tournament won't be even better. I think the committee would go back again for a fourth or a fifth year, but that's a decision that will be made later since there are other institutions that also want to host." Cal Poly-SLO and Hampton, VA also expressed an interest in hosting the 1993 tourney, but the bid went once again to UCO. "We're thrilled that the NCAA has decided to return the tourna-

"I think it's a compliment to the people at the university, the KickingBird Tennis Center and the Edmond Chamber of Commerce that the NCAA chose to return." Eight teams qualify for the team portion of the tourney, which will run May 14-16, with the 64-player singles bracket and the 32-team doubles bracket running May 17-20.
Tailback Tyrone Jones scored two touchdowns and the Broncho defense continued it's outstanding play as UCO improved to 4-0 for the first time in eight years. The staunch Broncho defense limited the Matadors to just 31 yards rushing and 83 yards through the air. Senior standout Mart Leming intercepted a school record tying three passes and brought his total for the season to Si x. "I think the whole defense dominated the game," said veteran head coach Gary Howard. "They were outstanding in beating a very good team." UCO got on the board with 5:07 left in the second quarter. The Bronchos marched 15 yards in two plays after a Leming oskie. Jones burst up the middle for six yards and six points. Kicker Lee Stam-

per's conversion made the score UCO-7 CSUN-0. The Bronchos again put points on the hoard mid-way through the third quarter. With 8:27 remaining Jones again shed-off would be Matador tacklers on a nine-yard jaunt to pay dirt. With the way the UCO defense has been playing the 14 points were plenty. However, the Broncho offense did have opportunities to pad their lead and came up empty. "We should've had more points on the board and our offensive players know it," Howard said. A 42-yard field goal attempt by Stamper just missed after the Bronchos had moved to the CSUN 25 yard line. Stamper also had a 47-yarder blocked. Later in the second quarter UCO had moved to

the Matador one yard line but failed to convert when Jones was denied the endzonc on fourth down. Late in the fourth quarter. after a seemingly endless number of consecutive runs by tailback Keith Martin, UCO attempted a fake field goal from the three yard line on fourth down, but holder Terry Payne's pass fell incomplete. The Bronchos did manage 291 yards total offense, 133 of which were Jones', and ate up the clock with long sustained drives. UCO held a time-of-possesion advantage of 37:50 to 22:10. The Bronchos will again play at home this weekend as they host East Texas State. The game will be UCO's Homecoming and their Lone Star Conference opener. Kick off is set for 2:00 p.m.

A Flute Fair hosted by the University of Central Oklahoma music department will be conducted at 9 a.m. Oct. 10 in the UCO Music Building. This will be the fifth year the fair has been held. It has been very successful in the past with an attendance of approximately 90 people, said Feodora Steward, music lecturer at UCO. Junior high, senior high and university flute choirs will also perform. The event is open to the public and admission is free.
The Circle K Annual Inauguration will be held at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 29 in the Ballroom of the University Center. The event is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Edmond.
Horizons Unlimited, an organization designed to build awareness of the disabled on the University of Central Oklahoma campus, conducted their first meeting recently. Discussed was the university's attempt to rid UCO of physical barriers. The university formed a committee of UCO students, faculty and staff last spring which set-out to oversee UCO's compliance with the newly enacted Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA requires that . businesses who employ or offer services to the disabled be accessible. "As a whole, the disabled students have had good things to say about what has already been done and what is happening to accommodate the disabled students here," said Scott Tarrant, president of Horizons Unlimited. Addressing the group's members, Nick Widener, chairman of the campus ADA committee explained that UCO will need about $2.2 million to eliminate the university of physical barriers. Funds for the project are to be allotted from three sources. "About 60 percent of the money needed will come from the section 13 monies the university receives, 20 percent from the university's ENG budget and 20 percent from auxiliary funds," Widener said. "A survey was conducted of all the 39 buildings and 1.4 million square feet on campus," Widener said. A contractor has been retained to complete the necessary architectural plans needed to make the campus accessible, Tarrant said. The drawings go from there to the bidding process. The club's next regular meeting is scheduled for Oct. 15 with a support meeting Oct. 1. Tarrant said no locations for the meetings have been arranged yet, but the areas will be posted.

hink about supporting yourself for twenty-five, thirty years or longer in retirement. It might be the greatest financial test you'll ever face. Fortunately, you have one valuable asset in your favor. Time. Time to take advantage of tax-deferral. Time for your money to grow. But starting early is key. Consider this: ifyou begin saving just $ioo a month at age thirty, you can accumulate $192,539* by the time you reach age sixty-five. Wait ten years and you'd need to set aside $227 a month to reach the same goal.
At TIAA-CREF, we not only understand the value of starting early, we can help make it possible—with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a record of personal service that spans 75 years.

Normal Oklahoma weather? Experts say hurricanes, tornadoes not unusual; influences caused components to work together By Roy Howe Staff Writer
If everyone talks about the weather, they should eat their words if they say this year's was normal. During the past year, Oklahoma has experienced a warm winter, cool summer, buckets of rain and tornadoes in September. Other states have been pounded by hurricanes, rattled by earthquakes and dusted with volcanic ash. Ronald Miller, University of Central Oklahoma professor of meteorology, and Gary England, an Oklahoma City meteorologist say there is nothing inexplicable about the weather that Oklahoma and the rest of the nation has seen this year. "The things that have happened this past year have happened before," England said. "The unusual thing is that they are all happening together." England and Miller explained that certain components have contributed to the irregular weather patterns Americans have seen this year. "All of the components work together to a certain extent — they influence one another," Miller said.
Warm Winter The unusually warm winter Oklahoma experienced was due in part to a condition known as El Nino, England said. "That is the abnormal warming of the waters in the Pacific Ocean along and north of the equator," England said. "Every three to five years the ocean begins to warm abnormally and that effects the jet streams in the upper level of the atmosphere. Although nothing is definite, we think the warm winter was due to El Nino."
Miller explained, "Volcanic activity can vary conditions in the atmosphere by putting enormous amounts of particles up above." "We know from satellite observations that since that eruption the northern hemisphere has cooled 1.5 degrees," England said. "It's taken 100 years for the atmosphere to warm 1.5 degrees and it has cooled that much in one year." Mount Pinatubo emitted sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere where it combined with water and became sulfuric acid. "That sulfuric acid doesn't allow as much radiation from the sun to penetrate the atmosphere so that contributed, in part, to the mild summer," England said. "We just didn't have as much heat from the sun."
Hurricanes September is the peak month for hurricanes. Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki both made their arrivals on time. Andrew
blew through Florida and Louisiana and about a week later Iniki jostled Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. Both were classified as level four hurricanes, level five being the most severe on the scale. "In terms of hurricanes, there is nothing uncommon at all with what's happened recently," Miller said. The storms were timely, and both packed a healthy punch. The two hurricanes were of incredibly rare strength, England explained. "Some believe that because of the atmospheric warming that hurricanes will start getting warmer, but the atmosphere is actually getting cooler. I can't explain why those hurricanes were that strong," he said. "I think that out of X number you are going to have some that are doozies," England said.
Late-Summer Tornadoes A secondary storm season arrives during the fall season.

"Although I have not heard any evidence, it is possible that we are in a two-year cycle of mild summers and cooler winters," Miller said. With the weather cycles differing from those typical to Oklahoma in the recent past, England said he keeps busy entertaining telephone calls at the television station ranging from the educated inquirer to the concerned paranoia. "I get the full range," England explained, "from the scientific astute questions and comments to some telling me I'm not following the Bible and that the Winter Forecast end is near. "I think that when we know things are in for a permanent According to the Farmers' change is when we wake up in Almanac, a warmer and wetter the morning and there is a big than usual winter is forecast. asteroid heading toward us," he England and Miller have their said. Miller explained that the own views. "You would think that with unusual weather Oklahoma and the cooling of the atmosphere the nation has recently received because of Mt. Pinatubo we is, in fact, not unusual at all. "There is no normal in would have a cooler than normal winter — that's what I think," weather," he explained, "just an average. England said.

Cool Summer A year ago last spring, Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted, filling the atmosphere with ash which acted as a screen between the earth's surface and the sun.
This secondary season brought a 500 yard-wide tornado to the city of Purcell earlier this month. "This year we have had a few more tornadoes than we usually have and they were a little more stronger than we usually see, but we are still within the normal range," England said. "Tornadoes can be spawned from the moisture that comes ashore with hurricanes," Miller explained. "We have seen a lot of hurricane moisture come to shore and that's not at all uncommon."

Pea-picks profs hope crop replenishes soil By Roger Groce Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma and the United States Department of Agriculture recently signed a five year research agreement designed to investigate alternative soil enriching crops for Oklahoma agriculture. UCO President George Nigh signed the agreement at a Sept. 8 reception featuring U.S.D.A. scientists from the Grazinglands Research Laboratory and UCO faculty and administrators. Dr. James Bidlack, assistant professor of Biology at UCO and co-principal investigator for the project, said that such joint ventures between UCO and the U.S.D.A. will prove a major asset to the university. "If there was a bottom line as to why we want to do this research, it's so that UCO and the U.S.D.A. can work together to gain additional funding, publish (research findings) and improve Oklahoma agriculture," Bidlack said. During what is termed the "fallow" season, farmers have to seek alternative crops to grow as they rotate their wheat fields, Bidlack said. Alfalfa has been a popular alternative crop, but it has to go through a two to three year growing cycle in order to significantly replenish the soil, Bidlack said. Pidgeon peas and chickpeas (better known as garbanzo beans), may have the potential to replenish soil in a two to three month growing season, he said. The research procedure includes initial purchase of the beans, importing a type of peat moss enriched with various bacteria called inoculum. This bacteria forms nodules on the roots of the plants and assists by converting other elements in the soil into nitrogen the plant and soil need, Bidlack said. The market for garbanzo beans is expected to increase because current Mexican production is planned to be cut back in place of the pinto bean, he said. Currently there is no production of garbanzo beans in the United States, he said. "There is no cash exchange," he said, "just an exchange of scientists, equipment and experience." Once the research is finished, the two scientists intend to publish their findings, Bidlack said.
