Former McVeigh attorney says government knew of bomb By Rhonda Bowden Staff Writer
i
n his first Oklahoma appearance since the murder trial ended in June, former counsel for Timothy McVeigh, Enid attorney Stephen Jones, spoke Tuesday to an audience of local public relations professionals and students, some from UCO, about his personal experiences while defending McVeigh in the $45 million "trial of the century." But the questions that seemed to be on the minds of most audience members were about Jones' belief that the federal government had prior knowledge of the bombing and that government officials are actively covering up this information. "There are about a dozen people who tell a consistent story" of seeing bomb squad trucks and sniffer dogs at the Murrah Building the day of April 19, said Jones. He Stephen Jones, former lead attorney for Timothy McVeigh, answers questions during PRSArs said these are responsible people meeting Tuesday. (Photo by Jill Kelsey who do not know each other and
have no motivation to lie. "I know and believe that there was a substantial factual basis to these claims," he said. Jones described his visit to the New York Times to tell them what he knew of the government's prior knowledge. "I had decided that I would not be a party to this (the cover-up)," he said. After being met at the door of the Times building by the publisher, and the editor in chief, Jones spent several hours with them Jones' opinion is that officials knew of the threat and did check it out—if only superficially—then they left the scene. He said that our government has repeatedly shown a remarkable ability to lie, and added that the possibility that the government had prior knowledge has never been seriously investigated by an independent agency. Jones then told of how the government persuaded producers of the 20/20 news show not to run a 20-minute segment that investigated
claims that the government had prior knowledge. He said there will never be an Oklahoma trial despite what District Attorney Bob Macy promises. He reasoned that the government would never release McVeigh for trial here because they would anticipate being asked by an Oklahoma judge to release documents or permit testimony pertaining to their prior knowledge, information that the government was able to suppress during the trial in Denver. Jones said that during the trial, the U.S. Justice Department was leaking information "like a sieve" in an effort to damage his case. Jones said the worst day of the trial for him professionally was when the Dallas Morning News ran the story citing alleged confidential defense documents wherein McVeigh admits his guilt.

UCOSA Town Hall meetings help rally student support By Lisa Tatum Editor in chief
I
n an effort to raise student participation in campus government, the UCO Student Association (UCOSA) held the first of four scheduled Town Hall Meetings yesterday in Howell Hall. Approximately 25 students
attended the meeting in which UCOSA House Speaker Dale Archer and President Sean Ridenour addressed concerns such as student apathy and involvement in university financial decisions. Ridenour said he has noticed a general apathy among students and hopes events like the Town Hall Meeting can help "liven up
the student body." He also encouraged students to communicate with their UCOSA representatives. "We want your ideas," he said. Archer explained UCOSA's three-level government structure and the affect enrollment has on student representation. He said the association is
focusing on more student representation in the distribution of student activity fee money among student groups. Archer said the $4-percredit-hour fee each student pays should entitle them to a say-so in where the money goes. He said UCO should "model up" to the University
of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, both of which give student government more control over the activity funds than UCO does. Archer said UCOSA representatives will continue to seek input from students by periodically holding Town Hall meetings in each of the four colleges.

Every little bi e ps
he UCO United Way campaign is gearing up again, and for the first time student organizations have been asked to join the 40 percent plus of our faculty and staff that contribute a percentage of their pay every year. While many students find it difficult just to make ends meet, every little bit helps, and when even the smallest of contributions are combined, together they can make a significant difference in the lives of many Oklahomans. With 99.9 percent of all donations staying in the area where they are raised, some of the contributions from UCO will actually benefit people right here on campus. UCO's volunteer United Way coordinator Terry May said over 300 campus employees will receive support from agencies supported by the United Way, and somewhere between 12 and 20 thousand Edmond residents also benefit from United Wayfunded programs. The United Way funds wholly or in part over 60 agencies devoted to providing assistance to area residents who need it. Programs like the Sunbeam Family Services, where care for abused and neglected children and services for the frail elderly are provided, rely on United Way contributions to help people who otherwise may have no where else to turn. Sometimes you may have to economize a little to do it, but without those small sacrifices made by people like you and me, the very real large difference made by the United Way every year would not be possible. 40

Internet, research instruction available at library By Ryan Dannar Staff Writer
U
CO students who feel lost when searching the library for a book or navigating the Internet for information can find assistance in four different instructional programs offered throughout the semester at the Max Chambers Library on campus. The library offers a general introduction class to familiarize students with the library's setup, course-specific instruction to help students with more specialized types of research, and basic and advanced Internet training, said Abbey Warner, instruction librarian. The library classes, with the exception of Internet training, are currently available to UCO instructors who wish to sign up one or more of their classes for them, Warner said. The Internet classes and open sessions of the general introduction class will be added later this semester, she said. Warner described the general introduction class as "a basic orientation" to the library. This class teaches students how to use the library's collection of CD-ROM databases when searching for a newspaper or magazine article, she said. This includes a discussion on Boolean logic, a method of narrowing a database search by using connector words such as "and," "or," or "not," she said. Students in the general introduction class are also taught to use the Library of Congress classification system.
"A lot of people only know the Dewey Decimal System. This library uses the Library of Congress classification system on books and periodicals," Warner said. In addition to being taught how to locate a book or article on a catalog or index, students are shown the steps from finding the record to finding the book or article, she said. Course-specific instruction helps students in specific colleges learn to use the tools they need to find information pertaining to their discipline, Warner said. For example, a political science class might be taught how to use the law books, she said. The library will soon offer basic and advanced Internet training classes to any students who wish to attend, said Warner. The classes are hands-on, since the library has enough computers to accommodate a large number of people, she said. Rather than having fixed curriculums, these classes will build from the prior experience of the students, she said. "Each group of students is different, so each class is geared to the group," Warner said. Generally, the basic class is for people who are intimidated by computers, while the advanced class is for people who already know how to use a search engine and their e-mail, she said. Topics covered in the classes include: 'Definition of the Internet— what you can use it for and what you can't 'How to use a web browser
'How to do a simple search on a search engine 'How to save information to a disk or to e-mail 'How to get and send e-mail 'How to evaluate information you find on the Internet 'How to cite Internet sources in a paper 'How to dial up to the library from home to get on the catalog or online databases, or to get on a text-only version of the Internet. Students should sign up for e-mail in room 171 of the Math and Computer Science Building before attending one of
the Internet classes, she said. Dates of the Internet classes and open sessions of the general introduction class will be announced as they draw near, she said. "Look for announcements in The Vista and postings in the library," said Warner. All the classes the library offers are less than an hour long, she said. "We keep them short because people can only take in a certain amount of information in one sitting," Warner said. Instructors interested in signing up one of their classes for a general introduction class or course-specific instruction should call Don Gilstrap, instruction librarian, at Ext. 2979.

Free seminar offers tips on preventing child abductions By Jim Hulsey Staff Writer
T
echniques to prevent child abduction will be taught at 7 p.m. Oct. 16 in the Constitution Hall of the UCO University Center. The program, called Escape School, will be offered free to the public. It will provide ways to identify problem strangers by how they act and steps to take to stay safe.
RESUMES Interview Training SPECIAL STUDENT RATES
Call 525-5063 Career Management Services
The program was developed by former California police officer, Robert Stuber, whose experience in searching for missing children led him to develop Escape School. "I got to thinking, what if that was my child, how would I deal with it? What should I do to keep it from happening to my own children," said Stuber. "Getting parents to address the issues of abduction quickly replaces fear with constructive ideas and proactive
r
attitudes," said Stuber. Stuber has written a book called MISSING! Stranger Abduction: Smart Strategies to Keep Your Child Safe, to help parents teach children to prevent and avoid a dangerous situation. According to statistics from Street Sense for Parents, Berkley Publishing Co., 1995: 'Approximately 125,000 attempted child abductions happen each year. 'Approximately 4,600 children are
abducted by strangers each year in the U.S. The majority of these children are beaten, molested and traumatized before being released. 'Approximately 400 of these children will never be seen alive again. Escape School is presented in cooperation with the Oklahoma Funeral Services Inc. and their affiliate HahnCook Street & Draper and television station KWTV-9.

Professors' association promotes funding increase
CAREER DEVELOPMENT & PLACEMENT SERVICES Fall 1997 Interview Schedule As of October 6, 1997 check with CD & PS for current listing -
national AAUP has been lobbying Congress to raise the maximum amount allowable in a Pell grant, Guild said. "Congress and President Clinton are both in favor of raising the maximum amount to $3,000," he said. "We should see that legislation in a few weeks." Guild said that access to education by all deserving students is a key part of the AAUP philosophy. The AAUP is also urging the Oklahoma State Legislature and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) to devise a long-term plan where each undergraduate student at public higher education institutions would pay at least one-third of the costs of their own education through tuition within five years. The AAUP wants the state legislature to pass a law authorizing OSRHE to determine tuition increases. "This would have the effect of depoliticizing, to a great extent, this issue," Guild said. Under the AAUP plan, the legislature could delegate the authority to the OSRHE for a period of time and then renew the grant of power on a periodic basis, Guild said. Meetings to discuss the AAUP proposal are tentatively scheduled with key legislators in the near future.

T
he Oklahoma State Conference of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has adopted a programto promotefmancial aid for students and require students to pay a higher percentage of their tuition. The AAUP is promoting a $71 million increase in funding for higher education in the 1998-99 academic year. "Oklahoma is still underfunded when compared to national and regional averages," said Dr. Tom Guild, UCO business professor and state AAUP president. "An increase of this magnitude would inch Oklahoma closer to the day when her system of higher education is adequately funded,"he said. Guild said another key part of the AAUP agenda is to more fully fund the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG) program. "The OTAG program is funded at slightly more than 50 percent this year," he said. "We want a $2 million increase as part of the $71 million legislative package we are asking for. This would help more moderate and low-income students to gain access to the Oklahoma higher education system." A committee from the

Bronchos face first division contest By Chad Willming Sports Editor
The Central Oklahoma football team will play it's first ever Lone Star Conference North Division game this weekend against East Central in Ada. UCO comes into the game atop the north division standings with a 2-1 record. East Central has an 0-3 conference record, 0-5 overall, and 0-1 in division play. "This is the start of the remaining games that count towards our winning the conference," said UCO head coach Gary Howard. The Bronchos have won three straight games, winning by an average of 29 points a game. The Tigers come into Saturday's game winless, having only scored two touchdowns all season. East Central has played two teams comparative with UCO.
UCO defeated Northwestern 23-0 in the first game of the season while East Central lost to Northwestern 27-0. East Central also lost to Abilene Christian 20-7, Central Oklahoma defeated ACU 28-0 in their third game of the season. The Bronchos will be playing the Tigers for the first time since 1983, a 34-17 victory. Central Oklahoma has dominated the series, winning 47 while only losing 16. "We're sitting pretty good as far as controlling our posistion,"said Howard. We have to be ready every week, we will get their best efforts , in terms of preperation, upsets can happen, said Howard. Last week, the Bronchos rolled over Langston 51-0, scoring their most points since 1983. After two consecutive road games the Bronchos will return to Wantland Stadium next week at 2p.m. to play Harding.

Saturday. Gruver, a 6-2, 235pound senior from Westmoore High School in Moore who switched from linebacker to end this season, was a driving force behind UCO's dominance
of the Lions last week. Gruver had seven tackles, including two for loss, and forced three fumbles, two of which UCO recovered to set up touchdowns, as the Bronchos held Langston to 83 total yards. -from UCO sports information

Promise Keepers promote families, not sexism
I
If I were a woman, I think I would have been thrilled to see the spectacle of hundreds of thousands of men gathered in Washington, D.C. last Saturday, hugging, crying, and condemning the way they have been living. What woman wouldn't have been happy to hear their menfolk promising to be better fathers, husbands, brothers, friends and church-goers? That's just what the Promise Keepers, an organization of Christian men founded by former Colorado University football coach Bill McCartney, did at their rally in Washington. No more hitting the bottle and then hitting their women for these men. No more hanging around long enough to make some poor woman pregnant, then running away before the baby comes. They now promise to put the needs of the children and mothers before their own. They'll go to soccer games, to recitals, they'll help with homework and be there, ready and willing, to help with the housework. Such promises should make any woman happy. The Promise Keepers gathered in Washington, D.C. to search their own
Why would men vow to be better husbands, brothers and fathers at a rally that was opposed to women? -
Steven Wedel Columnist
souls and pray for a way to be better humans, and better men. They demonstrated peacefully and caused no problems more serious than crowding the hotels. Yet, some fringe factions of our society criticize them and hate them for who they are and what they stand for. The Promise Keepers did not gather to learn how to better subjugate women and minorities. They did not gather to plan a way to force women out of the workplace and back into the kitchens and bedrooms. They did not go to Washington for any of the negative reasons far-left activists like the National Organization for Women President Patricia Ireland would have the public believe. Ireland claims the Promise Keepers
came to the rally, checked their wives and daughters at the door, and conspired to strip away women's equality. While it's true this was a rally for men, it was not anti-woman. Why would men vow to be better husbands, brothers and fathers at a rally that was opposed to women? Only a fanatic with a narrow agenda like Ireland's could conjure up an answer for that question. I don't remember Ireland calling for equality for women during Jesse Jackson's Million Man March of 1995. I don't recall Ireland agreeing that the national Bring Your Daughter to Work Day was sexist when many companies refused to honor the day because sons were not included; or when the companies told workers they could bring their children of either sex. Why is that? Could it be that any group of mostly white heterosexual males is the enemy, and any group that does not fit all three of those criteria is an ally in the cultural war? It is a war. At this point it is still primarily a propaganda war. People like Ireland are at the forefront, trying to mold public opinion to conform to their warped, narrow vision of what the world should be. The Nazis took over Germany
STEVEN SAYS... by starting that way. Both sides of the American Civil War began that way. Al Ross, executive director of the Center for Democracy Studies in New York, called the Promise Keepers rally an "extreme, right-wing political movement." If the themes of the rally, responsibility and brotherhood, are considered extremist ideals today, the foundation of American thought must already have crumbled and vanished beneath us.

UCO Student Association reviews, revises campus election rules By Colby Grieser Staff Writer
T
he Student Association passed a new resolution ecently to revise campus election rules. Previously, the election rules only pertained to the student association elections, but now they have incorporated
the rules for Homecoming Queen/King elections as well, said Dale Archer, speaker of the House. The Student Association revised and broadened the House election rules to include all campus elections. Then, they took the rules that the Association for Women Students (AWS) created for the Homecoming Queen/King elections and
combined them with the Student Association's rules, said Archer. The new rules will be implemented in time for the spring Student Association elections and will be used for every campus-wide election in the future, he said. The new rules were passed partly because of the recent Homecoming

Adjunct instructor honored by national book publisher

By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer
J
erry VanCook, an adjunct instructor in UCO's creative studies department, has been named October Author of the Month for Paladin Press. Every month Paladin Press, a book publisher based in Boulder, Colo., chooses one of their authors for special promotion. "I didn't ask them to do it," VanCook said. "They just picked me. I didn't ask why, but I'm glad they did." Paladin is promoting VanCook's first non-fiction book, Going Undercover. The book, released in 1996, is about VanCook's experiences in law enforcement. VanCook has worked for the Garfield County Sheriff's Office, the Multi-County Intelligence Unit, and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI). He has also taught unarmed combat to various law enforcement agencies, police and air force SWAT teams. At the age of 35, VanCook finished his law enforcement career to pursue a new career in writing. "I resigned from the OSBI and told everybody my father was sick and I had to help with the family business," VanCook said. "You just don't tell a bunch of cops you're quitting to become a writer—you might as well say you plan to be a rock star." VanCook enrolled in UCO's creative writing program, devoted himself to writing, and taught self-defense classes to make ends meet. "Fear was my motivation," he said. "I knew if I didn't make it as a writer I'd end up some small town city marshal or teaching freshman comp at some junior college for half the salary I made at OSBI." VanCook wrote two novels while working toward an M.A. in English, with a special emphasis on creative studies. Five days after he finished his M.A. he was working on a resume for a teaching job when Gold Eagle Books called to say they wanted to buy his third novel. Since then, VanCook has published 28 novels, one non-fiction book, and several short stories and magazine articles. He said Going Undercover was the most enjoyable book he's written. "Since I was no longer in law enforcement, I could freely tell undercover officers exactly what they needed to know without worrying about my supervisors reading it," he said. VanCook wants to write another Paladin book soon. "I want to do a realistic book on staying alive and out of jail in the violent society that the 21st century promises to be," he said. VanCook has written a short autobiography that is posted on the Paladin Press web site at http://www.paladin-press.comlhome.html .
Queen/King election. "It brought about a lot of inconsistency ... Rules were broken because people didn't have a clear understanding of them," said Sean Ridenour, president of the Student Association. Now there will be the same rules and guidelines for all the elections to help with misunderstandings, said Ridenour.

Horsing around Bronchos tamed during single parents' meeting
M
embers of the UCO football team volunteered their time to provide child care during the Single Parents on Campus meeting Monday night at UCO. The single parents organization meets on the first Monday of every month to assist single parents with completing their education. The group provides child care during the monthly meetings so members can attend the
meetings. Single Parents on Campus was founded last year to provide support, information, services and activities for single parents and their families. The organization sponsors speakers and forums to bring information about issues related to single parenting to students. For more information, call Denise Benham at 340-9602.
