Clinton wants date set for removal of troops in Somali WASHINGTON (AP) — President Clinton said Tuesday he wants a political strategy "that puts the affairs of Somalia back in the hands of Somalis" and gives the United States and other nations a fixed date to get out. The remarks signal the administration's shift away from the goal of capturing Somalian warlord Mohammed Farah Aidid, stressing instead its effort to isolate him and create a political structure without him. "The enforcement strategy has not changed, but what I wanted to emphasize at the U.N. yesterday (Monday) was that there has to be a political strategy that puts the affairs of Somalia back into the hands of Somalis, that gives every country, not just the United States ... a sense that they are rotating in and out," Clinton said. In a photo session with Democratic congressional leaders one day after addressing the United Nations, Clinton said nations involved in peacekeeping need a "fixed date for their ultimate disengagement in Somalia because there are so many other peacekeeping operations in the world that have to be considered."
Flood victims wait for river to recede MIAMI, Okla. (AP) — Ottawa County officials fear it may take much longer for the Neosho River to recede than it took for the river to crash over its banks and drive hundreds of people from their homes. The Neosho reached its crest of about 9- feet above the 15-foot flood stage at Commerce on Monday afternoon, but civil defense workers say it could be three days before dozens of residents can return home. Police Chief Bill Melton said water was dropping about an inch an hour in Miami and people were beginning to venture back to see how much damage had been done to their homes.

The open division, reserved for teams with collegiate debating experience, was dominated by UCO debaters. The team of Lea Farstveet and Jan Hoyden won second place. The team of Molly Hammond, and Tim Steffen took first place in the division. Four members of the UCO debate team received individual speaker awards. Hammond was named top speaker in the tournament, followed by Farstveet, who placed third, Hoyden, fourth, and Steffen, eighth. "The debaters have worked hard and dedicated themselves to excellence," said Josh Hoe, graduate assistant in the debate
program and member of the debate team that won the national tournament in 1990. "The long hours of research and the preparation made by the debaters are being rewarded with tournament victories," said Hoe. Doug Duke, director of debate at UCO, said that in debate there are no divisions so many of the teams they face are much larger schools. "I think we're doing tremendously well so far," said Duke. The topic for debate was "Resolved: that the national news media in the United States impairs the public's understanding of political issues."

EDITORIAL
Jail sentences for consensual crimes not jusified or needed One of the biggest problems in America today is the overcrowding in the jails and prisons. Murderers sentenced to 45 years to life sentences are being released in seven years due to lax parole boards and overcrowding. With such a problem in mind, is it really necessary to put people convicted of consensual crimes in jail? A consensual crime is any activity - currently illegal - that does not physically harm the person or property of another. Examples of consensual crimes include not using safety devices, religious drug use, prostitution and violations of marriage (adultery, fornication, oral sex, anal sex and cohabitation), to name a few. Currently, more than 350,000 people are in jail for consensual crimes. More than four million people will be arrested this year for committing consensual crimes, according to a study by author Peter McWilliams. With so many in jail for victimless crimes, taxpayers will lose $150 million in tax revenue. Most of the consensual crimes deal with crimes considered immoral. In the Constitution, the phrase "We the People..." does not mean "We the Religious" or "We the Atheists" or "We the Hypocrites." It means "We the People" which includes everyone from the religious to the Satanists to the homosexuals to the public. Who is deciding what actions, which have no victims, are wrong? Laws were made to protect others from harm from other people. Now the government is making laws that protect the public from themselves. Gambling and recreational drug use are the most popular consensual crimes. Granted, both gambling and drugs can be addictive, but the government has no right to forbid people from enjoying such activities. As an adult, a person should be allowed to do with his or her person and property whatever he or she chooses, as long as it does not harm anyone else. If the government did not convict "criminals" on consensual crimes, personal income taxes could be reduced by a thirc!.. Police would have more time to fight real criminal:, like murderers, rapists and thieves. The prison space would double. If Americans would sit and think about this issue, they w,-,uld realize how much the government is starting to control them. The public needs to be careful on how they vote on

Dallas economist to speak Oct. 6 on NAFTA By Steve Sager
Staff Writer Dr. William C. Gruben, senior economist and policy adviser at Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, is scheduled to give two discussions on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its effects Oct. 6. The University of Central Oklahoma Economics Club and the
Center for Urban Economic and Business Analysis will host members of the Oklahoma City Roundtable for a public lecture. The lecture will be given at noon by Gruben at Applewood's Restaurant, and entitled "NAFTA and the Oklahoma Economy." Dr. Joseph Johnson, assistant professor of economics at UCO, said the Roundtable meets once a month at Applewood's to discuss economic matters.
The lecture is open to the public and features a buffet for $8. The meeting is free for anyone who does not eat the buffet. Johnson said that many of the staff and faculty attend the meetings regularly, and host a speaker on economics once a year. Gruben will also give a lecture entitled "NAFTA: Truths and Fallacies" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6 in the UCO University Center Ballroom A.
Gruben has authored and coauthored several papers in professional journals and Federal Reserve publications on NAFTA, and has spoken widely on the subject in the southwest and New Mexico. Johnson said that because he is from this region, he hopes to show how the southwestern southern plains region will be affected by the agreement. Gruben received a Ph.D. in economics from the University of
Texas at Austin and served as a research associate at the university's Institute for Latin American Studies. He has also taught graduate courses in the University of Texas at Dallas' Department of International Management S tudies and in Southern Methodist University's Department of Economics. Johnson said that both of the lectures are open to everyone and not limited to students or faculty.

"We're extremely proud of her for her accomplishment." Priest's work was chosen by the MADN board of directors from about 50 works submitted, according to Jacobson.

Grandmother alleges violations during misdemeanor arrest SAPULPA, Okla. (AP) — A federal appeals court is being asked to dismiss a civil rights lawsuit by a woman who claims an officer roughed her up and humiliated her while arresting her on a misdemeanor. Former Sapulpa officer Barbara McCoy is appealing in the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals a federal judge's earlier ruling to allow the lawsuit to proceed. McCoy arrested Barbara Davis on Feb. 22, 1991, on a warrant alleging she was letting the family dog run loose. The charge later was dismissed. Davis, a grandmother of seven, says the officer burst into her house just as she was stepping out of the shower, manhandled her, handcuffed her wrists painfully tight and threw her in jail — all the time while Davis was wearing a seethrough robe she had put on after the shower. "At most. Davis' evidence would support a conclusion that officer McCoy may have treated her rudely and .„ may have been overly protective of herself and of Davis in handcuffing her and escorting her by holding her arm," McCoy's attorney said in court papers. McCoy currently is appealing her firing from the police department earlier this year.

Town is 'Brown' since bridge dedication by 'Godfather of Soul' S 1E,AMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Since the dedication of the James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge, merchants have cashed in with James Brown Roast coffee, James Brown Ale, James Brown T-shirts and even chewy James Brownies. Despite the controversy over naming the bridge for Brown, a convicted felon who had never been in Steamboat Springs before the Sept. 15 dedication, his appearance charmed many townspeople, inspiring food spirits in a receptive segment of the community. The bridge replaced a span across the Yampa River that had been used for cattle drives from ranches west of town to stockyards along the Rio Grand Railroad. Many old-timers wanted the replacement to be called the New Stockbridge — or at least a name that honors the community's ranching and mining heritage. The name James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge was proposed as a joke, but caught on and outpolled other names in a community vote.

OU football player suspended after being charged with burglary NORMAN, Okla (AP) — An Oklahoma football player has been suspended from the team after being charged with first-degree burglary. Gerald Farley, a sophomore defensive back from Groveton, Texas, was charged Sept. 20, Cleveland County prosecutors said Monday. Coach Gary Gibbs suspended Farley from the team Friday. "The action was taken in accordance with university athletic department team policies and rules based on charges pending against the student," a statement from the sports department said. "Any decision regarding future participation will be made after resolution of the pending matter." Norman Police Capt. Steve Cain said the incident occurred about 3:45 a.m. Sept. 18 when Farley allegedly broke into the residence of a female acquaintance. According to the report, the woman was in the bedroom talking on the phone to a friend when Farley came into the room, Cain said. The woman's report to police said Farley tried to grab her and she pushed him away and told him to leave. The friend on the phone realized something was wrong, hung up and called 911. When police arrived, the woman ran out of the residence and Farley was still inside, Cain said.

Professor discusses Clinton's health care plan By Anthony Tompkins Student Writer
A University of Central Oklahoma economist said he believes politics will effect the outcome of Clinton's health care reform program. "Employees will ultimately pay for health care insurance," said Dr. Micheal R. Metzger, chairman of the economics department and a professor of economics at UCO. If employers are mandated to pay large percentages of the cost of health care insurance for their employees, "low wage" workers will suffer rising unemployment rates, while "high wage" workers pay higher insurance rates to cover those who are less fortunate, said Metzger. Low wage workers will suffer rising unemployment rates, because employers will no longer be able to afford the rising cost of employee health insurance. This will benefit those who remain employed because employers can pay them no less than minimum wage, but this increases the expense of hiring low wage workers, making fewer low wage paying jobs available, said Metzger. w•

On the other hand, high wage workers will lose over a longer period of time due to rising insurance premiums and fewer pay raises over the next couple of years, said Metzger. Under the proposed plan, employers will pay 80 percent of employee health insurance costs; employees will pay the rest. Part time employees, such as those who provide in-home child care, are entitled to employer-based health insurance. Part-time employers will pay prorated amounts for health insurance, said President Bill Clinton "Many small business owners can not afford higher health care insurance costs for their low wage and part time workers," said Oklahoma Sen. David Boren. "Small business owners employing less than 50 workers will not be required to pay more than 7.9 percent of their total payroll," said Clinton during his address on health care reform Sept. 23. "Giving all Americans health care insurance that can not be taken away, that is what we must do." "A mandate on employers seems to be the means favored by the
Clinton administration," said Metzger. Other alternatives, such as removal of the tax exemptions offered to employers who provide health care benefits and a payroll percentage based health care tax plan have fallen to the wayside due to political concerns, said Metzger. Eliminating the tax exemption on employer-based health care benefits could generate $60 billion toward providing health care for all Americans, said Metzger. At present, the tax exemption reduces the overall cost of insuring large groups of employees to zero or even below, creating a "perverse over-consumption" of health care while others do with-

Clinton's proposed mandate, said Metzger. Critics of this sort of "employer contribution" correctly called it a "payroll tax," and the idea was then rendered politically unviable, said Metzger. All of the possible sources of health care funding deserve consideration, said Metzger. The differences between the various health care provision plans lie not with the placement of burden, but in the effects they will have on employment, said Metzger. "It is critical that politicians and health economists make this clear to the electorate before a costly mistake of national proportion is committed," said Metzger.

out, said Metzger. Elimination of the exemption would force employees to be more "cost-conscious" and allow reallocation of funds to uninsured citizens. Early on, this option was ruled out during the deliberation process, he said. Another victim of political concession is a mandate requiring employers to pay a percentage of their total payroll into a health insurance fund, said Metzger. Under such a plan, the cost of employing low wage workers would increase a mere 7 percent rather than the 20 percent to 40 percent under the proposed plan. A significan t n umber ofjobs would still be lost, but the numbers would be much lower than under

Toastmasters induct new officers at meeting By Rodney Gordon Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma chapter of Toastmasters International, an organization that teaches speech skills, formally inducted its officers last Thursday afternoon. The officers were elected in the spring semester of the 1993 year. Area Gov.

Health department offers free nicotine patches for UCO students, staff, faculty By Joyce Kirtley

University of Central Oklahoma students, staff and faculty wanting to quit smoking can receive the Prostep nicotine patch free of charge through Nov. 15. The patch, which is being offered by the City-County Health Department of Oklahoma, attaches to the arm and releases nicotine slowly through the skin.

tor," said Susan LaForge, director of the Student Health Center. "You must be over 18 years of age, weigh more than 100 pounds and smoke more than one pack a day to get a prescription," said LaForge. "Those with a prescription must first call and make an appointment with us (the City-County Health Department). We will give the patch and discuss side effects. We can issue a six-week prescription, but sometimes it only takes two to three weeks for people to get off the patch," said Debra Mahan, registered nurse with the Oklahoma City-County Health
Department. "Prostep gave a supply of free patches as a promotion to get people to stop smoking," said Mahan. "There is a limited supply, but we still have plenty left. Our priorities are heavy smokers, and young women who want to stop smoking before getting pregnant," said Mahan. Pharmacies in Edmond and the Oklahoma City area charge $26 to $57 for a week's supply depending on the strength of the patch. Call 425-4469 or 425-4406 to make an appointment or for more information.

Set 'em up and mow 'em down Bronchos rip Langston to up record to 4-0
Lady Bronchos score major win in capturing tournament title
By Scott Moore
News flash to Lone Star Conference pre-season poll electors: A recount is in order. Central Oklahoma's volleyball squad, a club that was picked to finish seventh in the eight-team Lone Star Conference, spent the weekend winning it's own Lady Broncho Invitational, and along the way sent a message to LSC prognosticators. UCO swept through the tournament without losing a single game. The four wins in 12 games added to the Lady Bronchos school record of winning 10-straight matches and 30-straight games. The Lady Bronchos defeated East Texas State and Fort Hays State on Friday, then came in Saturday and whipped Drury and 11th-ranked West Texas A&M. Dumping West Texas A&M not only catapults UCO into serious contention for the LSC title, but it also may very well have been the biggest win in school history. "I don't think there's any question but that's the biggest win in the history of the program," UCO coach Mark Herrin said. "This is something that will hopefully spring us on to bigger and better things." To understand just how big UCO's 16-14, 15-10, 15-10 win over WTAMU was, consider the following: > West Texas came into the contest undefeated and as the No. 11 ranked team in NCAA Division II. >- The Volleybuffs had won 29-straight matches against LSC competition dating back to 1989. > WTAMU won NCAA II national championships in 1990 and 1991, and finished third nationally last season. UCO had won only one game in eight previous matches versus WTAMU. The Volleybuffs were the overwhelming choice to win the LSC in the pre-season poll, collecting 10-of-19 first-place votes. In claiming the tournament title the Lady Bronchos ran their record to 12-3 and an early lead in the LSC standings. Upon further consideration a recount is not necessary. The Lady Bronchos got their point across loud and clear without one.
By Justin Harper Vista Sports Editor
Student Writer The University of Central Oklahoma football team resumed it's land run on the road Saturday night with a rushing attack that propelled the unbeaten, 11th ranked Bronchos to a 37-20 truimph over the Langston Lions. The Lions, who were previously unbeaten and ranked 6th in the NAIA poll, were at the mercy of UCO's second half defensive stand and the tailback attack of seniors Tyrone Jones and Glenn Starks. Jones, who leads UCO with 124 yards per game, carried the ball 23 times for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Starks picked up 138 yards on the same number of carries and had three scores. Of the Bronchos 363 total yards, 283 were on the ground. The Broncho defense, playing without two starters, completely shut down the Langston running game. The Lions were able to muster only 13 yards on the ground but Langston quarterback Ed Daniels made up for the stale rushing game with a terrific passing performance, completing 20 of 33 for 293 yards and two touchdowns. "We had a lot of breakdowns both offensively and defensively," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. "But this is a veteran team that knows what to do to win. Indeed, the defense did pull it together. After trailing 20-19 at halftime, the Broncho D came out for the second half and held the Lions scoreless, allowing the offense to explode by scoring 15 points in the third quarter. UCO took the lead for good

Saturday at 2 p.m. The Bronchos built an early 197 first half lead on short touchdown runs by Jones and Starks. Jones went in from 5 yards out on a drive set up by Starks' 62yard kickoff return. The point after tied the score at 7 apeice. Langston rallied in the second period by scoring two touchdowns in less than three minutes to take a 20-19 lead at the half. Langston rallied again late in the game, driving to the UCO 1 but Lion quarterback Daniels fumbled and UCO linebacker Brian On recovered.
early in the third on a 24-yard run by Jones and a successful conversion run by senior quarterback Terry Payne that made the score 27-20. UCO added to the lead on their next possession when Glenn Starks went in from 9 yards out. Chris Pattersons' extra point put the Bronchos up 34-20 mid-way through the third. Patterson hit a 22-yard fourth quarter field goal to close out the scoring. UCO takes it's 4-0 record on the road to Commerce, Texas to take on the Lions of East Texas State in aLone Star Conference showdown

Teaching Alternatives to Violence' lecture set for Saturday By Dayna Poarch Student Writer
University of Central Oklahoma students and faculty are invited to attend a lecture, "Teaching Alternatives to Violence," by Colman McCarthy, founder of the Center for Teaching Peace, at 8 p.m. Oct. 2 at St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. "We are a nation of illiterates when it comes to negotiating solu-
tions to conflict," McCarthy said. "At the highest levels, people do not seem to know that the purpose of negotiations is bring others to their senses, not to their knees. How can we expect our kids to behave differently?" Violence in society is a timely issue, said Pam King, a member of the committee responsible for planning the lecture. "We have found that there is a need here in our local area to deal with this issue," she said. McCarthy, an editorial writer
for the Washington Post, created a curriculum called "Solutions to Peace." He established the Center for Teaching Peace to provide information for people interested in his program which is similar to a correspondence course, King said. "In 10 years of teaching courses on nonviolence to more than 3,000 high school, college and law school students, I've discovered that people are hungry to learn other ways to solve conflicts besides fists, guns and armies," McCarthy stated in the center's
newsletter, Peace Times. King said she hopes those who attend the lecture will benefit from the information. "We are hopefully targeting local educators that have an opportunity to use this in their own classrooms, whether at the university level or high school or even elementary school," she said. Elementary, high school and college educators and administrators from across the state have been invited to have supper with McCarthy at the church before the
lecture. There is no charge to attend the lecture, but donations for the dinner are requested, King said. McCarthy is considered an expert on teaching alternatives to violence. He has appeared on Larry King Live, NBC News, Crossfire and the Today Show. He has also spoken at colleges and universities such as Notre Dame and Princeton. For more information about the lecture or dinner, contact The Peace House at 524-5577.
