Bond election may bring classrooms Improvements hinge on vote GOODWELL, Okla. (AP) — A proposed $350 million capital improvements bond issue would create an estimated 15,000 jobs while making possible the upgrading of campuses statewide, state education Chancellor Hans Brisch said Friday. "On some campuses, academic buildings have been completely closed due to unsafe deterioration, other campuses are wrestling with severe space deficiencies made worse by growing enrollments and still others are forced to prepare students for the 21st century workplace using outdated equipment," Brisch said.

Passage could bring 15,000 jobs, pump $350 million into state coffers By Tami Watson

Staff Writer

A recent Edmond sales tax election left the University of Central Oklahoma without a new performing arts center, but an upcoming capital bond election may bring UCO funds to build new classrooms. On Nov. 3, Oklahomans will vote on State Question 649 and 650, a $350 million bond issue for capital investments in projects across the state. SQ 649 authorizes the state to issue the bonds and SQ 650 sets up part of the funding

mechanism required to retire the bonds. For the bond issue to go forward, both state questions must pass. Three-fourths of the monies collected from the bonds will go to education. The money designated for higher education would go towards new lab and classroom equipment, classroom and lab renovation, new building construction and renovation, computing equipment and health, safety and access projects. "These are some of the most critical capital needs of Oklahoma," said Peter Regan, UCO student. "And UCO would be a direct recipient of some of these funds."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — If the dog eats your homework, that's one thing. But if your excuse is that you forgot it, then forget it — one school will accept it by fax. The principal of Barret Traditional Middle School gave out the school's facsimile number during an open house last week. Since then, Donald Matlock said, parents have taken him up on the offer about a dozen times, mostly faxing homework or medical forms.

Lawyer lashes legislatures DETROIT (AP) — A prosecutor who has been unable to make murder charges stick against Dr. Jack Kevorkian because of a gap in the law lashed out at legislators after the suicide-machine inventor helped a fifth person kill herself. "I think it's just a disgraceful disregard of their duty," Oakland County Prosecutor Richard Thompson said. "They'd rather deal with simple things like the state insect, the state flower." See World Wrap, page 4

Why it's needed Almost 25 years have passed since the State last received funds from a capital improvement bond, said Jeanie Edney, communications director of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. "We have not received system-wide funding for repairs and renovations of facilities," said Edney. "The enrollment in our colleges has doubled in these 25 years and we have run out of space to hold classes and laboratories to teach students."

Benefits to UCO Out of the monies designated to higher education, UCO would receive approximately $9.3 million, said Edney. "The bond issue will make available $6.4 million for a classroom building, $2 million for renovations of Howell Hall and approximately $825,000 for campus networking," said Edney. "I'm sure the money we receive won't cover the costs for the building, but it will be a good start," said Joacquin Stevens, UCO Student Government Association president. The money designated for campus networking would greatly increase communication among departments, faculty and students, said Edney. "UCO is very over-crowded," said Stevens. "We've even had to resort to portable buildings to accomodate students. A new building would greatly alleviate these problems."

Oklahoma benefits The bonds would also bring an immediate boost to

Oklahoma's economy, said Edney. "Economists have estimated that the issue will bring approximately 15,000 jobs into the state," said Edney. "We will help the state by enhancing campuses and facilities and we will also be preparing students for economic success. "If the bond issue passes, it will immediately pump $350 million into our economy. This will encourage other businesses to come into our state, escalating economic growth," said Regan. "All of the needs we are trying to meet through the bond issue are academically oriented," said Edney. "When businesses see that academics is a priority, it will attract them to Oklahoma." "Our No. 1 priority is to prepare the students to be successful," said Edney.

Source of money "This does not require a general tax increase," said Regan. "The only one paying higher taxes will be those who play pull-tabs and charity bingo games." Existing cigarette tax revenue, revenue from Indian smoke shops and a one-half cent tax on bingo and "pull-tabs" will provide the funds. "Colleges and universities are the key to new jobs in Oklahoma," said Regan. "If the bond passes, we would most likely get the much needed classroom building. If it doesn't pass, we most likely won't." The SGA is planning to have information tables set up around campus to further educate students on the bond issue, said Stevens. For more information contact Stevens at ext. 3337.

Ruffled feathers •Candidates squawk about format, times and places for traditional debates Chickens. Lots of people who look like chickens. Some unidentified supporters of Democratic Presidential Candidate Bill Clinton have been following the Clinton camp dressed in chicken mascot costumes to demonstrate President George Bush's attitude toward the 1992 presidential debates. "Fowl" rumors have been flying since Bush began ducking the traditional debates in August. Feathers were ruffled after the Commission on Presidential Debates scheduled three fall confrontations which would have begun Sept. 22. Clinton agreed. Bush did not. The commission again scheduled talks for the two sides to schedule debates. Clinton again agreed. Bush again did not. Bush squawks that he does not agree with the debate format. The Republicans have said debate negotiations should be made between the two campaigns without the commission. These are the two reasons given for the alleged "ducking." On the other hand, Clinton and his supporters are flocking to the debates. Clinton even visited the site where the first debate would have been held. Clinton upholds that Bush is scratching the debate because of his record as president. Though Bush struts his expertise at foreign affairs and crows about family values, the United States economy is still fast asleep. "If I had the worst record of any president in 50 years, I wouldn't want to defend my record either," Clinton said. But Bush said he has agreed to debate — just not at the specified locations or specified times or using the commission's specified format. "I've debated every time we've had elections, and we'll probably have debates. We're not going to do it on his terms alone, but we'll have debates," Bush said. The American people have only a month to decide their vote. And there may be presidential debates before the sky begins to fall. But Mr. President, when?

Media feeds public its beliefs; quit complaining, clean house am writing this letter in response to all the Bush bashing that is currently going on in the liberal media. I find it extremely sad that the American people have come to rely solely on the media to base their political beliefs. After recently watching the evening news, I learned that all of our social and economic problems are President Bush's fault. This just the perfect way to take the

blame away from where it really lies, and that is with we, the American people. We are a people with one of the greatest democracies in the world and half of us don' t even take the time to vote. Those who do, choose time after time, the same senators and congressmen they complain about on a regular basis. If you as a taxpaying citizen are not seeing the kind of legislation coming from Washington you

want, then I say it is time to clean house, not the White House but the houses of Congress. Last time I checked, it was Congress that writes the laws, not the president.

Clinton: Would raise taxes on the wealthy while reducing them for the middle class, but the cuts would be less than originally promised. Focuses on job training and upgrading skills as central to growth and competitiveness.

Bush: Emphasizes capital-gains tax cut as key to economic growth. Supports a temporary tax credit for first-time home buyers, wider use of IRAs and higher exemptions for children.

Clinton wants four years to cut deficit by half BALTIC, S.D. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bill Clinton says he wants to reduce the federal budget deficit, but not too quickly. The Arkansas governor has vowed to reduce the federal deficit by half over the next four years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a pace not satisfactory to some critics of federal red ink, including Ross Perot. Clinton says he hopes to convince the critics that doing more would be a mistake.

President Bush also sent a delegation to the Perot camp. Clinton said he remained confident his position would win favor with followers of the Texas billionaire. "If you compare Perot's plan to mine and to Bush's, he's much closer to me than he is to Bush" on a wide range of issues, Clinton said. But on reducing the deficit, he said he didn't favor the more aggressive

Poll shows close race Governor Bill Clinton won a close race in a Sept. 23 straw poll sponsored by the University of Central Oklahoma chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha. Exactly 383 votes were cast in the unofficial poll, which was held in the liberal arts building. Clinton received 175 votes for 47.7 percent, George Bush won 165 votes for 43.1 percent and Ross Perot received 43 votes for 11.2 percent. Pi Sigma Alpha, a political science honor society, sponsored the poll.

"We are holding the straw poll to challenge other universities to have polls so we can see how college students feel," said Craig McVay, Pi Sigma Alpha member. "The turnout has been great and the student interest has been very positive," said Pam Rails, poll attendant. There were no requirements to vote. The political science forecasting class will conduct a formal poll later in the semester.

measures backed by some. "We should get the economy growing before we risk a recession by overdoing deficit reduction," he said. At a weekend rally in South Dakota, Clinton said: "We didn't get into this mess overnight, and we won't get out of it" quickly. The budget deficit is expected to be around $340 billion next year. Bush supported a failed constitutional amendment this

year that would have required a balanced budget â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although he's never submitted a balanced budget to Congress. Even if the amendment had been approved, it would not have become effective until after 1997 at the earliest. Clinton spent last weekend visiting mostly small states, at least when it comes to electoral votes, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Iowa and

South Dakota. After spending Monday at his campaign in Little Rock, the Arkansas governor headed out with an ambitious schedule through some of the states where Bush's campaign has been working hard to catch up. He planned to campaign in Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Missouri, Louisiana, North Carolina and the District of Columbia.

'There will be debates,' both candidates promise The presidential debate commission urgently told the Bush and Clinton campaigns today they must quickly resolve their impasse if there are to be debates this year. The commission stuck to its singlemoderator format, which President Bush has rejected. The bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates said it would have to cancel the debate it has scheduled for next Sunday in San Diego unless it heard from

both sides by 5 p.m. Tuesday. Democrat Bill Clinton said he was ready to debate under the commission's recommended format but "if they want to have a discussion we'll send somebody there to discuss it." Bush's only comment: "I don't know what's in the commission letter but I've always said there will be debates." Spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said he assumed there would be a campaign response to the letter today.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Mary Barton and Gary Lawson, photographers at The Tulsa Tribune, began a new life by getting married in the newsroom of a newspaper that had three days left to live. Sunday evening's ceremony took place between the Tribune's sports department and photo editor's desk. The aisle cut a path between video display terminals and the publisher's desk. "We've been nothing but happy here and we wanted to share this with you," the new Mrs. Lawson, 26, told about 100 Tribune employees, family and friends after cutting the cake. The Tribune ended 73 years of publication Wednesday when its joint operating agreement with the Tulsa World is dissolved. "The reception will be held immediately following the ceremony in the newsroom before the newsroom is no longer there," the invitation read. "The happy couple will honeymoon in the unemployment line in beautiful downtown Tulsa."

Law school practices prejudice SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a throwback to the Allan Bakke case, a Bush administration civil rights office has found that the prestigious law school at the University of California at Berkeley discriminates against whites. The U.S. Education Department said Monday a program that set goals of 23 percent to 27 percent minority enrollment at Boalt Hall School of Law amounted to a racial quota. Boalt Hall is the first law school investigated by the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights. Bakke, a white man, successfully challenged an admissions program at the University of California at Davis medical school that was reserved for poor minorities. The high court ruled that a public university's strict racial quotas violated civil rights laws but that some preferential treatment of minorities, to promote diversity, could be justified.

Joe's comin' home Country music newcomer Diffie will play to home state crowds By Tami Watson Staff Writer

Country music fans may notice something different about Joe Diffie. He's slimmer, trimmer and looking spiffier than ever. But his body is not the only thing he's been working on. Diffie's second album, Regular Joe, has already produced two number one singles, "Is It Cold In Here" and "Ships That Don't Come In." And a third single, "Next Thing Smokin" is currently climbing to the top of the charts. With all the current success he's experiencing, and a nomination for "Male Vocalist of the Year" by the Country Music Association, it's hard to agree that Diffie is just a "Regular Joe", but success wasn't always something the 32year-old country boy knew. Diffie worked nine years in an iron foundry in Duncan, Okla. punching the clock and operating a machine that made metal castings. "I've been a regular guy, busting my butt forty hours a week in a foundry," said Diffie. "Standing on concrete eight hours a day, doing hot, hard work is as basic as you get and you build friendships that last. So, I know about the needs, wants, desires, hopes and dreams of normal folks--and I think if I sing about the things I feel, they've felt all those things, too." While working at the foundry, Diffie started dipping into the music scene by joining a gospel group called Higher Purpose. He later hooked up with Special Edition, a bluegrass band, and played clubs around Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Diffie also operated his own

Burchardt graduated from Central State College in 1938, received the Distinguished Former Student Award in 1963 and served as president of the UCO Alumni Association Board of Directors in 1972. Dr. Clara Chavez Burchardt, the donor of the library, and UCO President, George Nigh will be guests at the dedication.

Exhibit focuses on photography By Steve Curry

Student Writer A tribute to the history of the photographic archives will be on display in the Evans Hall Special Collections and Archives during the University of Central Oklahoma's Homecoming weekend Oct. 2 and 3. The exhibit will emphasize the school's photography and the teaching of photography, which includes the glass plate series circa 1911-22. Glass plates were used in early-day cameras instead of film. "Over 1700 plates were inventoried with many dated around 1913," said Mary Bond, curator of the Evans Hall Special Collections and Archives. "A renovation of the glass plate series was started in the mid 1950's by Reba Collins," Bond said. "The plates were found in an old wooden casket-like box in the Old Science Building basement by Collins' 15-year-old daughter, Rebecca," Bond said.

"Max Chambers, president of the school, hired Rebecca for 15 cents an hour to clean the plates," she said. John Davis, assistant professor of chemistry and physics from 1909 to 1919, is believed to be the first person to teach classes in photography at Central State Normal School, which was the first to offer classes in teaching photography to other teachers, Bond said. "The most exciting thing to me is the tribute to John Davis," Bond said. "A number of the photos we have of the classes and of the campus of that time have John

Davis in them," she said "Davis left the school in 1919 and moved to Texas," said Bond, "Ernest L. Howell took over teaching photography for the school." "Anyone who has taught or that took photography here at the university was invited to display their works at the exhibit," she said. "The exhibit will be available for viewing throughout the month of October," Bond said. The exhibit will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct 2 and from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 3.

Central Oklahoma received it's first-ever NCAA II ranking in the coaches Top 20 poll, debuting at No. 14 on Monday. The undefeated Bronchos (4-0) were last ranked in the Sept. 25, 1986 NAIA poll. UCO has been an NCAA Division II member since 1987. "It's a nice honor to be ranked because of the recognition it brings the program," said veteran head coach Gary Howard. "The players have worked hard to have some success, and this is a reward for that, but we can't slack up now." Lone Star COnference rival Texas AS.:.1 is ranked at No. 5 in the poll.

The second annual UCO/Lake Arcadia Challenge looked to be a promising meet for the Central Oklahoma Lady Bronchos cross country team. One week after finishing in the runner-up spot at the Oklahoma Christian Invitational the Lady Bronchos figured to do at least that well at the Lake Arcadia meet. Led by sophomore Ashley Mathis the team did just that, and came within one point of winning the meet. Mathis raced to a first place finish in the women's three mile run, posting a winning time of 21:55. Teammate Mylissa Hall was the second UCO runner in, finishing third with a time of 22:25. Other Lady Broncho placers were Ursula Wabaunsee who ran the race in 22:59 and finished in fifth place. Jody Callaway placed ninth with a time of 24:21 and Stephanie Collins came in tenth with a clocking of 25:54. Brea Lingenfelser dropped out of the race early

with a sprained ankle. The Broncho runners also performed well. Sophomore Shawn Johnson led the men once again, finishing the six mile course in 35:53. Not far behind Johnson were John McIntosh and John Mills who placed 11th and 12th, respectively, with times of 36:07 and 36:18. Todd Smoot managed a 17th place finish, while Russ Warrington placed 18th. The Teams next travel to Stillwater on Saturday to compete in the Cowboy Jamboree, one of the toughest meet's in the nation. "Saturday, we'll be facing our best competition of the year, and I hope we have a good week of practice," said UCO coach Paul Parent. "I don't think the teams are as far along as I'd like them to be for various reasons. Shawn (Johnson) and John (McIntosh) are about where I expected them to be, and Ashley (Mathis) and Mylissa (Hall) are doing pretty well, but we still need to improve." The Cowboy Jamboree is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday.

All aboard,this spot's on track • By Angela Mitchell

Staff Writer Hop aboard this eating express and experience a zesty meal at an affordable price. Interurban, located at 1301 E. Danforth, offers food choices from appetizers to steak and chicken. Whether you're in the mood for a quick burger or a romantic rib-eye, Interurban deserves a second look. Try the Santa Fe Potato Skins ($5.95) for an appetizer with a little kick. It's prepared with fresh Idaho potato wedges, cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses, grilled fajita chicken, sliced jalapenos and it's topped with sour cream, pico de gallo and green chili sauce. Another savory salad is the House Salad ($3.25). For the south-of-the-border in us, the Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas ($6.25) are incredible! It comes with two enchiladas filled with chicken and sour cream. It's topped with cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses, green chili sauce, shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. It's also served with a side order of Mexican rice and refried beans. The Theta Burger ($4.25) with a side order of fries ($.75) is a totally tasty item. The burger is made with fresh ground beef and can be ordered rare, medium or well done.

It is topped with cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and dill pickles. What a treat! Another burger worth bragging about is the Bacon Burger ($4.35). It adds spice to an ordinary burger by adding hickory smoked bacon strips and cheddar cheese. The Italian in you will appreciate the pasta Interurban has to offer. The Fettucini Alfredo ($5.95) is enough to make you scream "Mama Mia!" It comes with a large bowl of fettucini noodles combined with cream and fresh parmesan cheese. It also includes garlic toast and the vegetable of the day. The I.U. Club Sandwich ($4.95) provides a mound of bacon, Virginia ham, breast of turkey, sprouts, Swiss and American cheese, lettuce and tomato on whole wheat toast. A lighter menu is also available for those of us watching our weight. All the items on the Urban Lite Menu have less than 17 grams of fat and less than 500 calories. The Fresh Vegetable Plate ($4.50) offers an array of steamed vegetables available in season served with honey mustard and bread. The Cajun Chicken Salad ($5.25) is another diet entree including Romaine and iceberg lettuce, Cajun chicken, chopped tomatoes, red onions, and served with a Cajun dressing. Wow!

Steaks are also on the menu at Interurban. By far the Rib-Eye ($11.95) is the best. The steak is a center cut certified Angus Beef Sirloin grilled and prepared with a garden salad, baked potato and a dinner roll.

If all of this isn't enough, how about a dessert? Try the Hot Fudge Sundae ($2.95). It's wonderful! With a chewy chocolate brownie, French vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream and a cherry, it's mouth-

watering. Interurban hours are Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Enjoy the exquisite taste and pamper yourself with the friendly service!

A Vietnamese man has been in prison for more than 10 years for the crime of writing poetry. A man and woman in South Africa are also in prison for speaking their opinion. In some countries, the government kills more of their own people than wars do. These issues are among the many Amnesty International (AI) deals with. Amnesty International was formed in the early '60s and in 1977, the organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The mandates of AI include: 1) the release of prisoners of conscience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; men, women and children imprisoned for their beliefs, color, sex, ethnic origin, language or religion, provided they have neither used nor advocated violence; 2) fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and 3) an end to torture and executions in all cases. To attain their goals, AI "adopts" prisoners, then members send letters to heads of state, dictators and ministers of justice urging them to release political prisoners. In addition, members have also visited prisoners in jail to offer moral support. "Prisoners have said they know when the letters are coming because the torture stops," said Dr. John George, University of Central Oklahoma professor of political science who, along with Dr. Ron Beeson, is advisor of the UCO Amnesty chapter. In fact, of the prisoners Amnesty "adopts," two-thirds have been released. George said Amnesty has a high success rate. The UCO chapter of Amnesty held its first meeting Sept. 15 since being recognized as a campus organization. "We'd like to make people think about what's going on," said Amnesty member Perry Fatheree. The next meeting of Amnesty International will be at 3:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the Oklahoma room of the University Center. Those interested can contact Fatheree at 521-8412 or Deepa Narayanan at 751-2525 .

The University of Central Oklahoma Student Government Association will participate in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) Nov. 4-8 at the State Capitol:

OIL is a mock government conference which is organized as closely as possible to the State government, said Rebekah Zahn, UCO delegation chairman. "We have a mock legislature and a mock supreme court," said Zahn. Students are able to try their hand at being lawyers, as well. "Students can bring test cases or they can get cases from the Supreme Court," said Zahn. "Whoever argues the case best wins." About 19 schools from around the state attend, said Zahn. "The conference gives us a forum to talk to other students from across the state about current issues," she said. "It really helps students improve debate skills and get a feel for how the system works." Those interested in attending can pick up an application in the

Student Government office, University Center, 424E and return by Oct. 1, 1992. For more information contact Zahn at Ext. 3337.

Student Writer A $120,000 dollar grant was awarded to two University of Central Oklahoma professors recently by the Federal Aviation Administration to evaluate a new flight dynamics system the FAA hopes will result in safer, faster air travel. The Universal ProceduralDevelopment Simulation System (UPDSS) verification project will be headed by Dr. James Yates, professor of mathematics and statistics, and Raymond Beasley, assistant professor of mathematics and statistics. The project will take two years, and will test ways to safely increase air traffic at large airports. The FAA will use the system to evaluate triple parallel approaches, allowing three runways to be placed alongside each other. If the system proves to be effective, Yates says it will enable runways to be placed closer together, and take off and land at the same time. This will save time, space and money without increasing danger, Yates said. The computer and software, made by IME Aerospace Corporation in Houston, is designed to help further development of those systems currently in use. The system will also be used in conjunction with those already in place at airports around the nation. One of the arrangements, Global Positioning Systems, can pinpoint the location of an aircraft by using satellite triangulation, and Microwave Landing Systems (LLS) replaces the older Instrument Landing Systems. The LLS, first used in 1945, is being replaced because it uses radio waves to transmit information. The system is no longer effective, because powerful radio stations are causing what Yates calls "frequency inundation. The new MILS will use microwaves which eliminate the interference currently experienced, he said. The system will be more efficient than current testing procedures because it will use data from aircraft simulators around the country instead of using actual planes to evaluate the system. "We can use data from the FAA, American Airlines in Dallas, Boeing in Seattle, and other companies," Yates said. Instead of using a Boeing 737 which costs about $3,200 an hour to run, this system can receive and transmit data using telephone lines, and evaluate the effectiveness of the systems, Yates said.
