RHA on hold; funds frozen Court rules poster not obscene OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—An attorney for a doctor found innocent of an obscenity charge filed because of an explicit poster in the window of an AIDS clinic says the posters may not go back up immediately. "I would say that prudence says we not put those posters back up until we get some input from the city," said Micheal Salem, the attorney for Dr. Larry Prater. Prater was accused of a misdemeanor obscenity charge because of two controversial safe-sex posters that were displayed at the clinic in northwest Oklahoma City.

Tinker in running for new Air Force computer center OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—The U.S. Air Force may select Tinker Air Force Base to be home to a new regional computer center that would create about 100 jobs, officials say. Sens. David Boren and Don Nickles jointly announced Thursday that Tinker has a "very good chance" of being selected by the Air Force as one of five new regional computer centers for the nation. While no official announcement has been made, the senators said conversations with Gen. Merrell McPeak, Air Force chief of staff, convinced them that Tinker will be chosen as the new Midwest Regional Computer Center.

Resident Hall Association was informed during an emergency meeting that it was operating under an invalid constitution, said Kay Zoellner, president of RHA." Because RHA needs a quorum to make any decisions, the group has been currently put on hold as a campus organzation. Hall residents have paid activity fees for RHA activities. "We are not allowed to sponsor any of our planned events scheduled for this semester, and we are totally cut off from using any funds, students may be asking for a refund," Zoellner said. The RHA was formed to improve residence halls, initiate programing, uphold and recommend hall policies, promote retention, and instill pride, said Zoellner. Because Murdaugh Hall did not hold a general election for hall representatives and Thatcher Hall is without a constitution, both halls are in violation of RHA's constitution. Article IV, section 4C of the RHA constitution reads: "There shall be four representatives chosen at large for each residence hall ... Each Residence Hall shall then choose its representatives in a general election for that respective Residence Hall by a simple majority vote." There was a lack of communication with the faculty and dorm concerning last years constitution, because of that we have confiscated the constitution, Austin Avery, Thatcher Hall resident said. "The reason we (Thatcher) are involved in RHA's problem is because of our advisors making final decisions for the hall," Avery said. We are making changes in our constitution at Thatcher, said Richard Bellotti, Assistant Head Resident. "It is going to take us two weeks to post our proposed constitution, one week for it to be approved by Dr. Ryan, one week to elect new representatives, and one week for organization," said Bellotti.

BSA plans Black Culture series

Study shows sex training needed WASHINGTON (AP)—A new study shows that teaching girls about sexuality and helping them be more assertive can reduce teen pregnancy. A report by Girls Inc., a leading youth organization, based its conclusions on a three-year study involving 750 girls ages 12-17 who participated in the educational programs. The study was conducted at Girls Inc. affiliates in Dallas, Memphis, Omaha and Wilmington, Del., where girls are at a higher than average risk of becoming pregnant. Girls 12-14 who participated in a program promoting parent-daughter communication aimed at delaying sexual activity, were half as likely to have sexual intercourse as girls who did not participate.

Afrocentricity' to be discussed By Pam Thurman

Student Writer

In order to inform African-American students about themselves, the Black Student Association is sponsoring a Black Culture Night every Wednesday this semester. Bruce McGill, owner of Positive Images bookstore, will speak on the book "Afrocentricity" by Dr. Molefi K. Asante. BSA Vice President Kenneth Haynes read an article McGill had published in Ebony Tribune magazine concerning afrocentricity and decided to invite him to UCO. Haynes and BSA President Jeanette Smith located him through his bookstore. "We want to get away from the stereotype of one day in Africa, one or two days on the boat, and the rest of the time slaves in America," Haynes said. McGill, whose father was part of a nationalist organization that began in the

1960's, was brought up with an awareness of his heritage. "I was shocked at the number of AfricanAmericans who had little information on who were the African-Americans who made history in this country," McGill said. "The service that I am offering to the students is knowledge concerning their cultural perspective. I don't pretend to be an expert. I'm here to do what I can," McGill said. "What I am doing is a foundation laying exercise. This reading ("Afrocentricity")

will begin to give us some historical perspective from an African centered perspective," McGill said. The public education and university systems teach history from a European point of view and it is held as the only reality that exists, for example Columbus' discovery of America. This is an insult to the millions of people who were indigenous to this part of the world. There is also evidence that the Africans traded with the Natives (American Indians) in 300 B.C., McGill said. "This is about the resurrection of a culture that the western civilization system of education/history has totally ignored," McGill said. Everyone is welcome to attend. "BSA is here for everyone, we don't discriminate," Haynes said. The discussion of "Afrocentricity" will be held in the Comanche Room, 414, of the University Center at 7:00 p.m. For further information contact the BSA at Ext. 2580. V

Election is lost

1n the recent student senate elections, the campus ' showed symptoms of terminal apathy. But who cares? Not the students. Only 141 students cast, their ballots in the election during three days of voting. See "Campus Quotes" on page 3 for excuses from some of the 14;000 students who didn't vote. But poor turnout can't be blamed solely on the students. The polls never opened during morning and afternoon hours on Tuesday—the students and faculty who were to staff the polls were noshows. Not the faculty or staff who support the Student Government Association either. Staff member Susie Goddard, who manned the polls on Tuesday evening, admitted she was a last resort. She said she agreed to supervise voting only when the senate couldn't find anyone else to do it. Not the administration. Dr. Dudley Ryan, student services dean, and Dr. Deanna Land, associate student services dean, said they found no violation of student elections guidelines. Not the student senate representatives themselves. Grey Blevins, election committee chairman, had a nobody-showsup-anyway attitude. He said voter turnout is traditionally low so results would not be affected. And Carole Crawley, student senate speaker, denied any irregularity, stating as far as she knew, the polls were open. One person who cared is Conny Ford, director of academic affairs for SGA. Ford formally questioned the validity of the election results. After only 15 minutes of deliberation, Blevins and the student election committee, denied Ford's grievance. Ford resigned her position. Blevins said he based his decision on a discussion with "a lady" at the state elections board who told him no election had ever been declared invalid. Why start now? Besides, as Blevins put it, "Human error can exist, and should be allowed for." And in the wake of the controversy The Vista has learned that one candidate forged signatures from a class sign-in sheet to - accumulate the required 50 names on the petition. The student was caught and., as punishment, was not placed on the ballot. That's pretty mild punishment for forgery, but it is in line with the prevailing mindset. In light of the forged petition, the closed polls, the lack of supervision, and the denied grievance, Deans Ryan and Land should hold Blevins and his organization accountable for the conduct of the election. And every student needs to plug in the life supports before the student body dies. The SGA has been criticized for its excess and abuse of power, yet the students have given it more by their failure to act or to react. Apathy is death to the democratic process. V -

Writer questions data in editorial 's letter is in response to the "Movers and Shakers" editorial regarding the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. College is a learning experience and as a journalism student at UCO I have learned to get the facts correct before the story is printed. The Turnpike Authority receives no tax money. The people who use the roads pay for them. It is a business and is operated like one. One of the decisions made by the Authority was to install a radio frequency device to effectively collect the tolls. This system, named PikePass, is 99 percent accurate. It reads vehicles at every entrance and exit of every turnpike and charges them accordingly. Turnpike travelers are offered this service free of charge. The travelers open a pre-paid account with $40, which goes entirely toward their tolls. If at any time they wish to close their account, all of the remaining balance is refunded.

Repealing the educational reform bill would kill a program that's already working, said Vince Orza, former University of Central Oklahoma marketing professor—while David Schulman, a UCO graduate and 20-year public school teacher, said that discipline, not more money, is the answer to better education. Both Orza and Schulman were panelists at an open forum held Tuesday at Edmond's Washington Irving Elementary School, where citizens and politicians embraced both sides of House Bill 1017. The fate of the massive educational reform bill will be determined in a 'statewide vote Oct. 15. Orza, who was a tenured UCO marketing professor from 1971 to 1983, said he quit his $25,000 per year teaching job because he couldn't make a living at it. Other teachers may leave the state for

higher paying jobs elsewhere if H.B .1017 is repealed, he said. Under the bill, teachers receive a $1,500 pE r year pay raise for four years and the minimum salary for first-time teachers will increase from $15,060 to $24,060. But more money is not going to solve problems in the classroom, Schulman said. After 20 years, Schulman said he quit his job in the Midwest City-Del City School District after becoming fed up with the lack of discipline and respect instilled in students. "You can do all the things 1017 says, but all those things are null and void if you don't start with the atmosphere and make it conducive to discipline," he said. Discipline is addressed in the bill, said panelist Steve Lewis, former Speaker of the House and author of H.B. 1017. Parent training, smaller classes and more teachers and counselors are some of the items the bill has to help curb discipline problems.

Enforcement of truancy laws and more time required in class are also needed, said Schulman, who cited that action was taken against only 14 out of 1,000 truant students last year. Longer school days, more homework and more emphasis in math, science and reading also need to become part of H.B. 1017, said Orza, whose two daughters attend Edmond Public Schools. The bill is not perfect, but the solution lies in changing it, not repealing it, he said. The cost of H.B. 1017 comes from raising sales tax by one-half percent; raising personal income tax from 1 to 16 percent, based on income; and, raising corporate and bank tax by 1 percent. "It was a bloodbath to get this far—it took eight or nine months," Orza said. "But no matter what side you're on, for the first time in a long time everybody is talking about education. There's nothing bad i n that." V

TBTV educating prisoners By Penny Owen

Staff Writer

The most unconventional classroom run by the University of Central Oklahoma isn't in Edmond. Instead, it's situated along the row of government institutions on Martin Luther King Avenue in Oklahoma City, next to the Department of Public Safety, behind a 12-foot, razor-wire fence. Inside, female prisoners at Mabel Bassett Correctional Facility join their regular classmates at UCO in three history courses, via the Talkback TV system (TBTV). Rehabilitation is the idea behind educating inmates, said Dr. Richard P. Rettig, UCO Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice Chairman, who has taught TBTV classes for the last seven years. "I believe there are various areas in our lives that can be touched, even though we may have slipped into patterns of criminal life," said Rettig, himself an ex-offender. "One way is through our mind." Although two-thirds of Oklahoma's inmates haven't finished high school and one-third of them can't read past the fifth grade level, the demand for TBTV is high. "There's a special kind of inmate that goes into this program," said, Bill Chown, Department of Corrections Planning and Research Administrator. "It's someone who's in there on a long sentence, so most likely they're violent offenders who are older, with some tendency for them to be white females. The inmate who's going to college is not a typical inmate." Rosemary Jetton was one of

those who entered prison without her high school diploma. Today, while at Mabel Bassett, she spends from 1:30 p.m. to 2:50 p.m. in Principles of Accounting I, offered by Oklahoma City Community College. "Women have a way of feeling like they can't go nowhere and can't get a job," Jetton said. "When my husband and I separated, I went to work at Hardees. Most of that money went to the babysitter." Jetton, a slender, dark-haired mother of six with a butterfly tattoo on her wrist, is serving life for murdering her husband. "My breaking point was when he started abusing my child." Most women in prison have been abused in some fashion, and most never considered going to college before, said Lynn Barnett, Mabel Bassett TBTV coordinator. In the last 10 years, about 30 Mabel Bassett women received college degrees through TBTV. Since June 1990, 140 inmates altogether have gotten their associates or bachelor's degree through Talkback TV. Aside from class, most women have jobs within the prison and put in an eight-hour workday before hitting the books, Bamett said. At Lexington, however, a current job shortage means a lot of idleness, said Donna Diaz, Lexington TBTV coordinator. An onsite trailer provides two classrooms for 50 inmates, but she said they still need more to keep up with the demand. * * * * * * **** ** *** * DONOVAN'S BORDER CAFE GREAT FOOD! 4

Jerome Pace, who is taking 12 hours of classes at Lexington, said he's one of the lucky ones. At 23, he is one of the program's youngest, but already has 45 hours toward a business degree. "One of the main reasons I'm here in the pen is financial reasons," he said. "Hopefully, what I learn here will make me want to make money as a true, lawful capitalist." If good grades show accomplishment, then TBTV can claim success. Most TBTV students earn high grades. "They'll blow you away with a term paper," Rettig said, handing over a 93-page paper turned in by a student inmate. "I mean, they'll do everything you ask and require." Equally important is the selfworth that learning instills, Rettig said. Low self-esteem is rampant among prisoners, but mastering college-level work tempers those feelings of worthlessness. Supporting this theory is a study done by the DOC in June 1990. After five years, 60 percent of the inmates who used TBTV stayed out of prison after being released. In contrast, 60 percent of those not using TBTV ended up back behind bars. V

Lights flashed and smoke swirled as University of Central Oklahoma students braved a chilling wind Thursday night to witness the visual and audio storm presented by jazz and rock guitarist Robin Crow. Crow's stage was set up on Centennial Square in front of the home economics building, and the unique light set-up and smoke effects proved an effective background to the ethereal sound of Crow's playing. An army of guitars stood guard behind Crow, acoustics, 12-strings, double-necks, and one mutant guitar that had seven strings.

Review Crow is a self-taught guitarist who has released five albums. When finished with his fall tour, Crow plans to spend five months in the studio working on his new release for RCA. Crow performed at UCO last year, and in this year's performance, sponsored by the UCO Student Senate, Crow mixed unique original tunes with a few well-known covers. The show was mostly instrumental, with the exception of a couple of originals, "Runnin' Wild" and "Lady Blue," on which Crow displayed his vocal ability. Crow played almost the entire show alone, with only the help of percussion tracks on tape. At one point, however, Crow brought to the stage a percussionist, and they per-

formed two new tunes that will be on Crow's next album. Crow just signed with RCA because of a demo he recorded with covers of well-known songs. During Thurday's show he brought out "Pinball Wizard" by the Who, "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2. Crow's version of "Dust In The Wind" did not have the acoustic straightforward edge of the original, and there were no vocals. But the tune became something new and different in Crow's hands, and his reworking of the song was nothing short of remarkable. The small crowd spread out in Centennial Square seemed to enjoy Crow's playing immensely, and Crow himself exhibited a good-humor, especially about the weather, which threatened to destroy the lighting set-up. But the stage set-up prevailed, and so did Crow, giving his audience a pleasant evening of loud and exceptional music. V

Bat man's adventures enlighten biology students By Roger Groce Student Writer Dressed in jeans, shirt, boots and an "authentic Guadalajaran sombrero," the bat man embarks on another mission. This venture, however, does not begin at a batcave, but will culminate there. And the stars of this adventure are not the caped crusader and his sidekick, Robin. They are, instead, Dr. William Caire, assistant dean of the College of Mathematics and Science and 12 University of Central Oklahoma students. Armed with flashlights, nets, bat-tackle box and a sack lunch, the group left the UCO parking lot on its excursion Saturday afternoon. The destination, a batcave outside of Mooreland, Oklahoma, in the northwest portion of the state. A professor at UCO for 15 years, Caire began his first semester as assistant dean this fall. Aside from teaching a large number of biology courses, Caire often includes field trip research in his studies. "Its more than just textbook,"

Caire said. "Its smelling, seeing, hearing and touching."

Ruling slows store's business By Marcia Benedict

Mercedes Graham

UCO employee 'cooks' when it comes to work By Misty Pace

Student Writer

Occasionally, if the wind is right, a student walking past central cafeteria will catch a whiff of freshly baked bread. Not many are aware that the University of Central Oklahoma has its own bake shop; not many are aware that for the better part of 23 years one woman has been responsible for most of the desserts and pastries served around campus. "I'm just like one of the fixtures," said Mercedes Graham, supervisor of the bake shop. The reason she has worked there for so long is that she really enjoys her job and every aspect of the food service industry, she said. The bake shop prepares all the breads, rolls, biscuits, cookies, cakes and pies for most of the campus. "The Redbud Room, the Oklahoma Room and the 89er Cafeteria get all of their baked items from the campus bake shop," said Willie Maxwell, assistant director of food service. Other campus functions depend on the bake shop also. Orders are filled for staff meetings, parties, receptions, and guest speakers for various departments, said Maxwell. Graham has had a hand in all of

it, she said. She was hired to work on the food line and has labored her way through most of the other areas in the cafeteria. She has also served as interim manager three different times. She said the reason she doesn't qualify for a management position is because she lacks a college degree. "I am fully aware of the food service industry, I just don't have the piece of paper . . .I stress to kids to get that piece of paper." Graham is in charge of coordinating all the orders that come in, she said. Her day starts at 5 a.m. now and she's at it until 2 p.m., making sure that all the necessary items are on hand and judging how much of each item to bake. Over the years she said she has discovered what the students will go for and what they won't. "If it's chocolate . . . these kids are chocoholics . . . brownies, by far, are our greatest seller," said Graham. Graham said she gets excellent help from two other women who help her out, Georgia Graham (no relation) and Wilma Hollis. "We're kind of the grandma's club," said Graham. Although they work behind the scenes and many students never know where all those baked goods come from, they work very hard giving UCO the best they can. V

A recent United States District Court ruling banning photocopied anthologies without copyright permission has caused a dramatic decrease in business at an Edmond copy shop. For the past two years, Kinko's, at 109 E. 2nd, has averaged 240 photocopied packets each semester, but this fall only 25 packets have been copied, said Todd Reagor, manager of the Kinko's store. "We've lost between 75 and 80 percent of our business. That's costing us tens of thousands of dollars," Reagor said. After the courts ruling, the Kinko's corporation hired outside sales representatives to proofread individual anthologies and ask publishers for permission to reprint each article, he said. "Our infrastructure is dealing with the judge's order," Reagor said. The approval to copy material

<be -rA

from books can require two to six weeks notice, he said. "Most of the professors don't want to wait that long for permission, so they go somewhere else and break the law," he said. Publishers have pre-approved the copying of approximately 700 tides, Reagor said. "MacMillan and MacGrawHill have already said it's okay for us to reprint any of their articles, so there's a lot that is approved," he said.

Reagor said even when permission is given, publishers sometimes require a royalty fee for copied articles. "Royalties can range from a quarter a page, to a quarter a book, there's no standard right now," he said. Reagor said because of the quality of Kinko's anthologies, he expects his business to double by next year. "I think professors will come back to us, because we can offer them a really nice looking packet with quality paper and design," he said. "Every copyright violation costs us $100,000 a page, so if a four-page article slips by us, we have to pay the publisher $400,000," Reagor said. Reagor said in order to protect his business he has purchased anthologies at various copy shops in the area. "We're checking up and letting the publishers know who is breaking the law," Reagor said.

Benecict tackles gang violence I and drug abuse By Kathy Karr Staff Writer e)

Stopping the spread of gangs throughout Oklahoma City is the responsibility of not only government and law enforcement, but the responsibility of ordinary citizens, said Pat Benedict in a recent lecture at the University Center Ballroom C. Benedict is a retired Navy nurse who lectures frequently on drug and alcohol abuse and the spread of gangs through the country. The whole situation is a matter of supply and demand, she said. "Every time you buy any illegal drug, you are supplying the gangs," Benedict said. "Life means nothing to them," she said. "They are recruiting kids as young as 4 years old through 8," she said. "Some kids are flashing Crip signs as early as age 8." "Unemployment breeds crime," she said. Benedict said she has no definite solutions to the problem. "If I had solutions, I'd have the Nobel Prize," she said. But she does have suggestions, she said. "Our schools need to suppress all gang identity in schools," she said. "Things like hats and colors. If you suppress this, you send a statement that we aren't going to have it." "My opinion is until we get the senate and the congress involved, we're not gonna get it solved," Benedict said. "The purpose of my being here is to try and educate you, to get you to realize the problem," she said. "Denial is not a river in Egypt. This wasn't a scare tactic, this is reality." V

Lions devour UCO 51-21 ETSU compiles 627 yards total offense

Reserve East Texas State quarterback Mike Meador replaced All-Conference starter Bobby Bounds in the first quarter and completed 15-of-22 passes for 340 yards and four touchdowns as the defending Lone Star Conference champion Lions blitzed Central Oklahoma 51-21 Saturday in Commerce, Texas. The high-octane attack of the Lions accounted for a UCO opponent-record 627 total offensive yards, including 385 yards passing and another 242 yards on the ground, while compiling the most points against a UCO team since a 57-0 loss to Angelo State in 1976. The Bronchos did, however, have their best offensive outing of the year behind junior West Texas State transfer quarterback Mark Reiland, who started in place of regular Ben Morrison, and completed 7-of-16 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns. UCO also rushed 35 times for 119 yards, but the season-high 254 yards offense was no match for the Lions. Nevertheless, the Bronchos remained within striking distance throughout three quarters, trailing only 24-15 late in the third quarter, but Meador retaliated with three quick offensive drives that put the game far beyond reach.

"East Texas has a great offensive football team and Meador hurt us in a lot of ways," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. The Lions scored first in the ball game on a 40-yard field goal by USA Today Offensive Player of the Week Billy Watkins, but the Bronchos countered behind the passing of Reiland, who guided UCO 65 yards in seven plays for the go-ahead score. Reiland aired out a 22-yard scoring strike to Texas A&M transfer tight end Derek Ware, and Lee Stamper added the point after to put UCO on top 7-3. UCO trailed 17-7 at the half but appeared on the verge of pulling within 17-14 early in the third quarter after a 61-yard pass from Reiland to John McGuire, which moved the Bronchos to the ETSU 7. But, on third-and-1 from the 1, Reiland bobbled the snap from center, and the Lions recovered on the goal line. UCO appeared to have ETSU stopped on third-and-8, but Meador found Billy Minor for 15 yards and a first down at the Lion 18. ETSU traveled the distance of the field in 15 plays for the score, capped by Gary Perry's 1-yard touchdown run. That made it 24-7, and ETSU got the ball back right away, but Tony Loud intercepted a Meador pass at the Lion 39 and returned it

to the 1 to set up Tyrone Jones' 1-yard scoring blast. Reiland then hit Ware for the two-point conversion to pull the Bronchos within 24-15, but it was then that Meador really went to work. The Irving, Texas, senior guided his troops for drives of 81 yards in seven plays, 43 yards in one play and 37 yards in one play for a 21-point blitz in a fiveminute span that made it 45-15 and turned the game into a rout.

A commentary

Wish they all could be Califomiamteams By Bill Kramer

Sports Editor

While most NCAA II women's volleyball teams are enjoying successful seasons, despite being shunned by the national rankings, teams like UC Riverside (9-5) and Cal State Bakersfield (7-5) are milking California volleyball tradition for all it's worth. The best hitting percentage in the country belongs to the unranked University of Central Oklahoma volleyball team, according to a press release issued last week by the NCAA. The top individual blocker and the nation's sixth-best blocking team also belong to UCO. However, despite these facts and a best-ever 14-1 start, the fledgling

Killer Instincts Senior outside hitter Heather Devine (Edmond) had 32 kills, 43 digs, 13 aces and 11 blocks last week to lead UCO in wins against Oral Roberts, Adams State and Eastern New Mexico.

It's also too bad teams like 13th-ranked Missouri-St. Louis, who sports a 17-8 record, is allowed anywhere near the top 20. And what about 1 1 th-rated North Dakota, who is 7-6 or 12th-ranked Minnesota-Duluth, who is 9-6. Get real! At least the NCAA has ranked some good teams at the top. Portland State, ranked No. 2 at 13-1, and 16-1 North Dakota State, ranked No. 3, are well deserving. However, undefeated Tampa (Fla.) and New Haven (Comm.) are underrated. Tampa is ranked 15th at 8-0, and New Haven improved to No. 18, despite a 14-0 record. But, how can the NCAA justify seven teams with five or more losses in its top 20, despite the fact the season is only a few weeks old?

Lady Bronchos have failed to attract the attention of national pollsters serving on the NCAA II Women's Volleyball Committee. Former Lone Star Conference foe West Texas State is 11-0 and likely deserving of its No. 1 national ranking, but the Lady Buffs rate second to UCO in attack percentage (.342-.339). Middle blocker Kristin Vincent, a 6-0 sophomore from Arlington (Martin), Texas, was leading the nation with 2.84 blocks per game. As a team, the Lady Bronchos averaged 3.84 blocks a game (sixth-best in NCAA right behind second-ranked Portland State. Azle, Texas, outside hitter Amy Parten, a second-team All-LSC choice a year ago for UCO, was ninth in the country in kills per game, with a 4.46 average. Granted, the Lady Bronchos have yet to play a top-rated NCAA II foe thus far, but on Saturday, they did play two-time Division II playoff qualifier AlaskaAnchorage and honorable mention top twenty contender AlaskaFairbanks. UCO also soundly beat 1Pthranked NAIA power Southern Nazarene last week, in addition to Division I Tulsa and Oral Roberts (twice). Maybe the reason for UCO's absence in the rankings is due to the lack of tradition in the program. It's too bad NCAA voters are relying on tradition rather than performance.

Wild Marijuana harvesting popular in West Virginia .MOOREFIELD W.Va. (AP)-A grand jury has indicted 47 people on charges of harvesting a bumper crop of marijuana growing wild in a valley that has attracted people from far out of state. "They came here to get it and sell it," Hardy County Prosecutor William Moomou said. "You don't come here from ... North Carolina or Alabama to get it for you own personal use." Marijuana was introduced to the area after World War I as a commercial crop, producing fiber used in rope. Officials believe 500,000 plants sprouted this year in the South Branch river valley. Severe flooding in 1985 apparently spread seeds from hillsides throughout a 20-mile stretch of the valley. "Mother Nature handed us a load that we'd rather not have to carry," said Phoebe Heishman, publisher of the Moorefield Examiner.

Woman wins Nobel in literature STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP)-Nadine Gordimer, a white South Aftican novelist whose denuciations of apartheid caused her works to be banned in her homeland, won the 1991 Nobel Prize in literature last week. She was the first woman in 25 years to win the prize. The Royal Swedish Academy, which awarded the prize to Gordimer, 67, said her "magnificent epic writing" has been "of very great benefit to humanity." The prize is worth about $1 million. Gordirner's works, including 10 novels over a 38-year span and more than 200 short stories, have in the past been banned by South Africa's white minority government. She said she sees Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo as her leaders and accepted the guerrilla movements decision to use

RHA Continued from page 1 Dr. Dudley Ryan, student services vice president said each organization has a set of roles which gives them all the same opportunity to operate under an elected body. "The constitution is an insurance policy for the school, and they need it valid if RHA ever wants to charter as a school organization," Ryan said. This delay might give the students time to thoroughly look over their constitution, and make the changes that are needed, Ryan said. The students might even realize that changes are needed, Ryan said.

Former First Ladies mount breast cancer campaign DALLAS (AP)-Former First Ladies Nancy Reagan, Betty Ford and Pat Nixon are campaigning to persuade women to get mammograms. Capital Council for Early Detection, whose honorary chairwoman is Marilyn Quayle, wife of Vice President Dan Quayle, said Wednesday it will tape public service announcements about early detection of breast cancer. Mrs. Reagan and Mrs. Ford are breast cancer patients and Mrs. Quayle's mother died of breast cancer. "Having a mother who died of breast cancer, I know what a family goes through in the last days of the illness and what a true loss it is to a family," Mrs. Quayle said.

‘Scariett' goes to number one NEW YORK (AP)-The "Gone With the Wind" sequel "Scarlett" has swept to No. 1 on the best-seller list and carried the original on its coattails. Despite scathing reviews, roughly 500,000 copies of the Alexandra Ripley book have been snapped up since it went on sale Sept. 25, a Warner Books spokesperson said. "We knew it would be a best seller, but even the original didn't sell this well at the start," said Laurence Kirshbaum, president of Warner Books. The sequel will be No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list of Oct. 13, and the 1936 original will be No. 14, the newspaper said.

DETROIT (AP) Go to work or get out of Michigan. Those were the words one Michigan lawmaker had for 90,000 people who lost their welfare benefits under a leaner, meaner state gov ernment assistance program that took effect last week. "They can move to sunny California, to stylish New York; if they like winter sports, to Minnesota. If they don't like winter, they can move to Arizona.," Rep. David Jaye said Wednesday. On Tuesday, Michigan joined a handful of states that deny welfare to employable, childless adults. Cutting the payments, which averaged about $145 a month, is expected to save $246 million a year. "Get a job or hit the road, Jack," said Jaye, a Republican from Shelby Township.
