Grid player suspended Bomb destroys anti-tax office

By Penny Owen

Staff Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—An explosive device that authorities speculated could have been a pipe bomb went off early Monday in the offices of the Oklahoma Taxpayers Union, a group active in efforts to repeal H.B. 1017. No one was in the office at the time of the 2:40 a.m. explosion and no one was injured. "They've done everything they can to keep us off the ballot—now they've bombed us," said Marie Gafford, a volunteer. "We might as well be in Russia. We'd get better protection."

Trump examines Miss America NEW YORK (AP)—Marla Maples told People magazine that her engagement to Donald Trump fissled not long after he ogled America's reigning beauty queen Carolyn Sapp. Trump, 45, and Maples, 27, were watching the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City, NJ., on Sept 14 when he demanded, "I want to see the bodies that won the swimsuit contest," People reported in its Oct.7 issue. Trump and his buddies "were sitting around saying, 'She's got a great body! ' and 'It's about time they got a good-looking one!'" Maples told People.

"He still thinks it's cool to act like a ladies' man, but I don't think it's very respectful," Maples said. "I deserve better than that."

Academic skills falling behind WASHINGTON (AP)—American children are about 20 years behind in their knowledge of math, reading, writing and science, educatiors said this week in a series of reports. The Education Department said that, regardless of age, pupils lost ground in achievement levels in math, reading, writing and science between the early 1970s and 1980s. By 1990, they were back at the same level as in the 1970s, it said. A report by the National Assessment of Educational Progress said just over 60 percent of children in grades four, eight and 12 can perform simple math problems using basic skills.

Nobel Prize winner to address students at Cherokee Room By Marcia Benedict

Staff Writer

Students will have an opportunity to hear a Nobel Prize recipient speak at the University of Central Oklahoma Oct. 6. James M. Buchanan received the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in 1986 for his work in the field of economic sciences. Buchanan also has developed the idea of public choice economics, a mixture of economics and political science. "We will benefit from hearing a nobel laureate speak, especially since he is the father of public choice theory," said Dr. Frank Wert, acting dean of the college of business. Public choice theory refers to how governments make decisions after reviewing the circumstances, Wert said. "His work bridges the gap between how private and public decisions are made," Wert said. "It is significant that Buchanan's work is influential enough to filter down into the basic Principles of Macroeconomics and Microeconomics courses," he said. "The Calculus of Consent," "The Limits of Liberty" and "Freedom in Constitutional Contract: Perspectives of a Political Eco-

nomist" are among the books Buchanan has written. Buchanan now serves as the advisory general director for the study of public choice at George Mason University. The lecture will be held at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 6, in the Cherokee Room of the University Center. V

A 17-year-old University of Central Oklahoma football player has been suspended from the team and faces felony charges for his part in the Labor Day theft of a UCO student's VISA and the two-day, $6,900 shopping spree that followed. The case against the player, whose name is beng witheld due to his age, was taken to the Oklahoma County District Attorney's office Tuesday by UCO campus police. Charges recommended are one count of conspiracy to commit fraud, which carries up to a 10-year sentence and three counts of unlawful use of a credit card, with up to a two-year sentence for each count. Campus police expect to press charges against four other UCO football players later this week. Police said they now have confessions by at least three football players, plus enough supporting evidence to prosecute on accessory charges. However, they will hold out for more proof in order to cinch felony charges against them. Any other football player charged with a felony will also face immediate suspension, said Sports Information Director Mike Kirk. "I've got enough to charge people and put them in jail," said Campus Police U. Ed Forbes. "I just need reports from The Gap, Champs and Wal-Mart." The delay in turning the remaining suspects over to the District Attorney exists because three retail stores have not filed a report with police; not because of a wait for football season to be over, Forbes said. Police want the store reports in order to make the forgery charges to stick. "I don't give a crap about football," Forbes said. "The issue here is somebody stole a credit card and charged $6,000. It don't matter to me if they play football or not, or how many games they win. It's being held off because of three stores." Nearly $2,000 was spent at the Wal-Mart in Edmond, but because the card cleared authorization at the time of purchase, the store did not lose money and therefore has not filed a report. A report from Wal-Mart is forthcoming, however, which will be added to the 315-page evidence report and taken to the District Attorney, Forbes said. Credit card owner William Moulton said he intends to press theft charges against the suspects. His VISA had a $10,000 credit limit, which was wide open when the card was taken from his son's dormitory room over Labor Day. If necessary, campus police will solicit the help of the U.S. Secret Service to secure the retail store reports needed, Forbes said. The Secret Service assisted in compiling case evidence, and is available if needed further. "I'm about two inches short of getting this thing over with," Forbes said. "People are wanting to see this filed, but I'm in a snag." V

THE VISTA EDITORIAL

Plan to disarm pays off at home esident George Bush may have crowned himself the

p eace president Friday with his announcement

of plans to disarm the U.S. battlefields overseas. Bush, who prides himself on his prudencol, but whom his critics call timid, made a daring first move toward elimination of the worldwide nuclear threat and challenged the Soviet Union to do the same. Bush stated in his televised address that an invasion of Western Europe by the Soviets without warning is unlikely. With the disintegration of communism and the victory of pro-democracy advocates in the recent coup, disarmament proposals once considered too radical for discussion are feasible in light of these political changes. The proposal calls for the removal and destruction of so-called theater weapons based mostly in Europe aimed at short-range targets in the Soviet Union, launched from land, bombers, submarines and ships. The immediate savings or the "peace dividend" of Bush's plan is projected to be about $500 million. But before the U.S. goes on a domestic spending spree, the big fiscal picture should be examined, especially the deficit which grows and gains momentum with each passing year. The U.S. currently spends 6 percent of the gross national product on defense with a budget of $291 billion. If that figure could be be pared down 15 percent or 5 percent of the GNP, Bush could make some strides in the national debt. The whole nation could enjoy lower interest rates, a more competitive edge in international markets and a higher rate of employment. And disarmament could be the best foreign aid Bush could offer. The military industrial complex there eats up almost one-third of their gross national product. If the Soviets will follow Bush's lead to eliminate some of their own nuclear bulk, they can develop domestic and international industry as well as a distribution system for their goods. The plan to disarm the stockpiles and silos can have a double impact—both overseas and at home. In addition to a safer "New World Order," Bush's plan could possibly earn him the title of economic president as well.

Inmate agrees/disagrees with letter took it upon myself to initiate a response to Donald I. Paquin's letter to the editor which appeared in the August 26, 1991, issue of The Vista. Being an audience participant in the realm of the corrections scheme, I was greatly concerned and humored by Mr. Paquin.

I have been incarcerated in the Lexington Assessment and Reception Center in Lexington, Oklahoma since March of 1988. My new living accommodations consisted of a cellrnate and a six-andone-half foot by eight foot cell. I must admit Mr. Paquin is correct when he stated three hots and a cot. I'll even concede that my cell is both heated in the summer and winter. However, each winter during the coldest part of the season I have noticed ice forming on the north wall of my cell (this is not the case with all cells). This is a give-me for Mr. Paquin: At this facility we are allowed to purchase both a radio and a television set,

but it has been my understanding that the Playboy channel was taken off the pay for view networks in 1987 or 1988. Mr. Paquin's views of the death penalty are his own. Personally, I have not made a decision concerning this subject. But, again, I would like to interject. Empirical evidence suggests that there is little deterrence in capital punishment. In fact, if criminals perceive the punishment of nonhomicidal crimes as death, they may be encouraged to kill victims and/or any witnesses to escape the risk of being caught. Would this be an acceptable alternative? Mr. Paquin's theory of killing a few hundred thousand to take back control of ours streets is beyond the liberal, and quite frankly his estimate is quite low. Probation (convicted felons) alone accounts for approximately 2 million people in the U.S. and it is estimated that over half are drug offenders (considered by Mr. Paquin to be a

violent act punishable with death). Is this within Mr. Paquin's and a just society's acceptabled level of death? Again it seems I am finding myself agreeing with Mr. Paquin, rehabilitation is a myth. First and foremost in corrections is security. It seems that rehabilitation grew in corrections until the early 70s. From that point it came under severe attack. Since the 70s corrections has focused on incapacitation (removal from society) and retribution (pay if you play). Mr. Paquin has presented his case with appropriate statements. His personal views show extreme prejudice and I commend him (or anyone) who voices thier opinion. This is a constitutional right I would not interfere with. It is my belief when writing the printed word, unless it appears as fiction, a facsimile of fact is required. Data can be manipulated, but facts will stand on their own merit. —Richard D. Gilbert

Highlights of House Bill 1017 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—Here are some of the key provisions of House Bill 1017, the education reform and tax law of 1990: • Raises the minimum salary for beginning teachers from $15,060 to $24,060 by the 1994-95 school year. • Makes it possible for the Legislature to appropriate sufficient funds to provide all teachers with a $1,500 pay raise each year for four years. • Requires elementary classes to have no more than 20 students each by the 1994-95 school year. Makes similar reductions in the teacher-student ratio for upper grades. • Requires all 5-year-olds to attend half-day kindergar-

ten, unless the school district determines the child is not ready. • Requires a new curriculum specifying what children should know at each grade level. Students will be tested more often to gauge achievement of those "competencies." • Requires high school seniors to pass a graduation test before receiving their diplomas. • Gives the state Board of Education power to close schools that cannot meet the law's requirements. High schools have until June 1995 to meet the accreditation standards. Other schools have until June 1999. • Allows professionals in

foreign languages, math and science to become teachers without having teaching degrees. • Raises the corporate income tax and bank tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. • Raises the sales and use tax from 4 percent to 4-1/2 percent. • Raises the personal income tax from 1-16 percent, based on income. • Abolishes the office of county superintendent of schools. • Requires school board members and candidates to have a high school diploma or the equivalent. School board members are also required to attend training workshops.

State scores inching toward average By Misty Pace

Student Writer

•

Information from the American College Testing program shows average test scores for high school seniors in Oklahoma 0.5 points below the national average. The difference in 1987, however, was 0.9 points. A news release from the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education shows education officials attribute the progress over the last four years to an increase in students taking required core curriculum classes.

Darrell Gilliland, University of Central Oklahoma registrar said he feels that counselors, teachers and parents are doing more now to encourage students to take the classes they need for entrance to a four-year college. "The first year for colleges to require core curriculum was 1988 so even though high schools were forewarned so that counselors could advise students that they would have to be prepared, it took awhile," Gilliland said. The ACT program requires four units of English, three un-

its of math, two units of history and two units of science. Oklahoma requirements are four units of English, three units of math, two units of history and two units of lab science. Regent officials, according to the news release, say that students are better prepared to meet the demands of college after having pursued a more challenging high school program. Gilliland said that the exposure to more information in high school, due to the new requirements, has had a big impact on the ACT test scores. V

No experience is necessary to become Miss Oklahoma USA 1992, where a fresh look and a little ambition can make a dream come true, said Miss Oklahoma USA Executive Director Frank Gentry. Girls ages 17 to 26 who have never been married are being sought as contestants in both the Miss Oklahoma USA and Miss Oklahoma Teen USA pageants. Competitions will include swimsuit, evening gown and interview categories. Those entering must secure a business sponsor to pay for room, board and other pageant expenses. Winners represent Oklahoma in the Miss USA pageant and are handed a $17,000 scholarship toward a two-year program at the An and Fashion Institute of Dallas. An evening

winner by designer Sherry Hill. Odds of winning with no prior pageant experience are good, said Gentry, with three of the top five winners in the Miss Oklahoma USA pageant last year being first-time entries. "Oklahoma has gotten pretty famous in beauty pageant circles in the last few years," he said. "Hardly a year goes by when an Oklahoma girl doesn't win a national title in something." University of Central Oklahoma senior and Miss Oklahoma USA 1991, Julie Khoury, was among the six finalists in the Miss USA pageant. Deadline for entering is Nov. 1. Those interested should contact Gentry at 843-5656. Last year, 21 contestants competed in the Miss Oklahoma USA pageant. "It could easily be a UCO coed who's our next Miss Oklahoma." V

Through three name changes and three official position shifts, Student Services Vice President Dr. Dudley Ryan has been working with University of Central Oklahoma students for the past 25 years. Ryan celebrated his anniversary last July, and a reception was held in his honor Monday. "I actually started at Central State College as a freshman in 1956," Ryan said. He graduated in 1960 with a bachelor's degree in Industrial Arts, and while working on a master's in student guidance and counseling at CSC, Ryan taught at Southeast High School, teaching woodworking. However, teaching was not what he set out to do, Ryan said. "To be truthful, as an undergraduate I was in the industrial educa-

tion program because that was what I liked," he said. "I had no intention of teaching. I thought I would go into business or industry." While working at Southeast, Ryan developed the Distributive Education program. "I loved it," he said. "It was fun. Some of those I taught at Southeast went on to get their bachelor's from this institution." Ryan worked for a year with International Harvester Company and was then offered a position at Central State as director of student activities. He then moved to the post of associate dean of student services, then to his present position of vice-president of student services. The Cushing native and his wife Annette celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last year, and their daughter Kimberly is a junior at the University of Oklahoma. Ryan enjoys the work he does here at UCO, he said.

"I find it very refreshing, corning into contact with new and different people every day," Ryan said. "I've learned much more from the people around me than they've ever learned from me." Ryan says he loves his work. "It's been my whole life," Ryan said. "I can't imagine doing anything else. This university is the only place to be." V

Warren documenting endeavors of innovative college educator By Pam Thurman

Student Writer

Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Dr. Cliff Warren has spent a portion of the past two summers in Berkeley, Calif. interviewing and taping 80-year-old Clark Kerr's reminiscences about his founding of the California multiversity system. Kerr, former president of the University of California at Berkeley, is internationally known in the area of higher education. Warren is currently writing a book about him entitled "The Moral Legacy of Clark Kerr." "While working on a second doctoral degree I did a paper on Kerr's book "The Uses of the University," a classic in education, and became totally fascinated by the man," Warren said. Kerr's multiversity system allows for a range of choices, from an elite campus that attracts the students with the highest SAT and ACT scores down to the community college system that is open to almost all who want to further their education, Warren said. Since the 1960's his system has become the plan that's been fostered across America, offering a place for everybody and the empowerment of everybody, women, minorities, and those with special educational needs, and continuing education for older students, Warren said.

"Kerr has been the spark behind the rise of a number of universities created in third world countries and has often been the keynote speaker at the inaugurations of these college presidents." Warren said. Kerr comes from a Quaker background which allowed everyone to express their opinion. Men and women have always been considered equal by the Quaker church; there was never a belief in slavery; and the Quakers always sought peaceful solutions rather than warlike ones. In 1969, during the free speech movement, Kerr clashed with then governor of Calif., Ronald Reagan, and was fired from his position as president of The University of California, Berkeley, but he was retained as head of the Institute of Industrial Relations, where he had helped solve many natural labor disputes. "The very next day he went on to become director of the Carnegie Foundation and produced, over a number of years, outstanding reports on the status of education in America at all levels," Warren said. He also became the leading la-

bor arbitrator in the world and was responsible for the labor decision that involved the most money of any throughout history, the 1985 postal dispute. "Kerr stands by what he believes in and I feel that what he believes in is right," Warren said. "This study of Kerr re-awakened my interest in research toward publication. Being interested in lifelong learning, I can't imagine a time that I would not be wanting to learn something new." This weekend in Washington, D.C., an educational conference, entitled "Equity in Education," will be held in honor of Kerr's 80th birthday. Warren plans to tape the tributes to Kerr to use them to end his book. V •

The elder Miller, sifting through a foot-high pile of newspaper clippings in his office, said he is very proud of his daughter. "We have been through something that is pretty major," he said. The event included 32 contenders, a maximum of three from each country, Miller said. During the week of competitions, Shannon took second in the world in compulsories, fourth in optionals, and sixth in the finals. The victory was the first medal the U.S. team has ever won in the World Championships.

straight-A student at Edmond North Mid-high, Miller said. Miller went on to say that many of Shannon's peers suffer in their education because of a lack of emphasis many parents place upon their children's academics. Shannon's coaches, Steve Nunno, owner of Dynamo Gymnastics in Oklahoma City, has worked with Mary Lou Retton, and Bela Karolyi, the famed coach who defected from Romania, have taught Miller since she was eight years old. Her assistant coach and choreographer is Peggy Liddick. Having Nunno, and being able to train locally is a great advantage, Miller said. Shannon's interests evolved from dancing to gymnastics when, "a deal was made with Santa to get her a trampoline," Miller said. "It seemed the usual kid interest until the summer of 1986." While testing in Russia, a Russian coach approached her mother and stressed how good she was, and that she needed to begin training - immediately, Miller said. Since then Shannon has entered

over 31 national and international competitions. The cost of supporting a young athlete in gymnastics can be staggering, said Miller. "When first beginning, the cost is okay." At first, the coaching and travel expenses are distributed between a large group of parents, relieving much of the cost. When a gymnast begins to improve, however, the cost changes dramatically, Miller said. "In other sports such as football or basketball, a system is set up to help the parents involve their children. But with gymnastics there is no system to help pay." Only as a member of a national team competing at an international conference will the U.S. Gymnastics Federation pay the cost, Miller said. The ideal situation is when talent is the only limit, not money, Miller said. V

AIDS increasing in prisons CHICAGO (AP)—A federal study of AIDS in prisons demonstrates an urgent need for ways to stop the virus, including handing out condoms and clean needles behind bars, its authors say. The study, conducted in Illinois state prisons by the Centers for Disease Control, confirms the long-held suspicion that inmates are becoming infected with the virus. The reasearchers found that 9 percent of inmates who were found to be infected after a year in prison had caught the AIDS virus, or HIV, behind bars. They were assumed to have contracted the virus largely through homosexual encounters or drug abuse. "It's a catch 22 situation," said Dr. Kenneth Castro of the CDC. Prison wardens say that if we distribute condoms, that means sex is going on and it's not supposed to."

Exxon agrees to new penalty ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)—Exxon corp. agreed to a $1 billion settlement of state and federal lawsuits over the nation's worst oil spill—$25 million more than a similar package rejected by a judge as too easy on the oil giant. The agreement announced Monday by Gov. Walter J. Hickel guarantees more money for restoring Prince William Sound, but otherwise closely resembles the plea bargain rejected in March by U.S. District Judge H. Russel Holland. Holland said then that the criminal penalty in the package was not severe enough to deter polluters. The legislature voted down the first deal, but Hickel said he wouldn't give it a chance to kill this one. "I think this is a good settlement," He said.

NEW YORK (AP)—Roseanne Barr Amold's parents again denied they molested their daughter and said today they are considering suing publications that continue to print her allegations. "Any allegations that say I molested her sexually and incestuously, I deny 100 percent," Arnold's mother, Helen Barr, said on "CBS This Morning." "I never touched my daughter," said Arnold's father, Jerome Barr. "I never had any incestuous relationship with her." Arnold said she only recently recalled being sexually abused as a child. She first made the accusations at a gathering of the Survivors United Network, a group of adult incest survivors.

Couple charged in children's drowning deaths in custody TELEQUAH, Okla.(AF')—A couple charged with manslaughter after their two daughters drowned trying to cross the Illinois River were in taken into custody this week. Robert Martinez, 25, and Nancy Jane Martinez, 31, have both been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the July 13 drownings of Dana Michelle Torres, 9, and Lisa Jay Torres, 4. An 8-year-old brother crossed the river safely. The couple allegedly put the children on a sand bar in the Illinois River below the Lake Francis Dam so they could be intimate in their car, prosecutors contend. District Attorney Greg Combs said the children crossed the river once and were put back on the sand bar.

MIDWEST CITY, Okla. (AP)—Authorities say a Midwest City police officer has been placed on routine suspension after fatally shooting an Oklahoma City man who reportedly pointed a gun at the officer. A passing motorist flagged down Officer Jerry Kennedy around 5:53 p.m. Monday and told him that a man driving a brown car possibly was driving under the influence of alcohol, said Maj. Brandon Clabes, a spokesman for the department. Kennedy spotted the car and pulled it over on a routine traffice stop. Kennedy said the man exited the vehicle with a gun by his side. Clabes said Kennedy shot the suspect once striking him in the upper chest. Kennedy was relieved of field duty, pending an administrative review board.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP)—A police officer fatally shot a 72-yearold man who was house-sitting for friends after a neighbor reported a burglary. The man shot at least twice at the officer, who crawled through an open window Sunday night to investigate. The house was burglarized Saturday night and the owners asked the man to watch the place, police spokesman Don Deckert said. A neighbor, unaware the man was supposed to be there, called police when he saw the man enter, Deckert said. Police surrounded the house, Deckert said. When they found the front door locked, the officer crawled through the window. The officer identified himself when he entered the house, but investigators weren't sure whether the victim heard, Deckert said.
