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
