SGA constitution in limbo By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer
The projected date of a student vote on the new Student Government Association constitution is two weeks overdue, stuck in administrative limbo. Dudley Ryan, vice president of student services is currently reviewing the constitution. Ben Harris said that when he projected the date students would vote on the constitution, he assumed Ryan would only be reviewing it for correct constitution format and structure. "I thought that there would be three channels the constitution would take: Dean Ryan would be in charge of structure and format, students would be in charge of approving content from their point of view and the president would be in charge of approving content from an administrative point of view," said Harris. Ryan said that because this constitution is so important, more revision by his department is needed.
"Anything they change in their constitution has to be in harmony with university," he said. "My office has authorization to make sure this happens." Ryan acknowledged that usually the constitution would not be reviewed for content until it reached the president, but he said an extra step is being taken in the process because this constitution will dramatically affect all campus organizations. "The president wants to make sure this does not change what he's doing with students," said Ryan. Harris said that he expects Ryan to give him an idea of changes that need to be made in the constitution by Friday, so those changes can be made and prepared for a student vote. Ryan would not say if he found any content problems in the constitution. He only confirmed that he found minor clarity and grammatical problems. "I regret that it takes this much time, but I don't know how else I can alleviate that."
Job Search Week set for Oct. 14 - 18 By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer
You can dot your i's and cross your t's but a perfect resume is only the first step toward finding that perfect job. The ins and outs of successful job hunting will be the focus of UCO's Career Development & Placement Services' (CD & PS) first annual "Job Search Week."
Various free sessions will be held Oct. 14-18, including mock interviews, resume critiques and job search help sessions. The week will begin with a job hunting forum Monday. Employers from local businesses will give job hunting advice and answer career questions, said Carrol McAllister, career guidance specialist. "They can offer valuable
information since they are the people who do- the actual hiring at their companies," she said. Half-hour job search sessions will be held Tuesday that will cover trends in resume writing, job searching and interviewing. Students are encouraged to bring questions to the sessions. Mock interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday

THE RIGHT TO DIE: Decision or privilege: The Vista explores both sides EDITORIAL
EDITORIAL
he Declaration of Independence states that man is endowed with certain inalienable rights, among these is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This right to life our forefathers talked about is inseprable from our right to make decisions regarding our life. We are free to decide where we will live, what college we'll attend and what job we will take. Shouldn't we also be free to decide if we want to end our life? This is not a decision that should be made lightly—once it is acted upon, it can not be undone. Some say that allowing people to make this decision will devaluate life in our society, putting us on a slippery slope leading to a culture who discards the handicapped and the aged. But for that to happen, our society would have to change drastically. We value life now and that's not likely to change anytime in the near future. Death is a part of life and something we will all have to face eventually. Euthanasia is a uniquely personal decision, more so than any other decision humans face. Each individual must decide for themselves if quanity of life outweighs quality. It's easy for someone who is young and healthy to say, "It can't be that bad." But the truth is, we don't know. Only the person experiencing the pain can know how bad it hurts. Compassion and decency demand that if someone freely makes the decision to permanently end their pain, we must respect it. We can't, as a society arbitrarily deny them that option simply because we're afraid that the decision won't be made with enough forethought. Agz
ext year the Supreme Court of the United States will decide whether or not Americans have a constitutional right to assisted suicide, although most states have already decided that we don't. And for good reason, there are grave dangers involved in the issue of letting patients and even more dangerous, family members decide how and when a person should die. Putting aside the fact that physicians are bound by the hippocratic oath NOT to take lives, but to save them, the most glaring danger is that the value of human life will forever be graded on a bell curve of sorts. For example: If anyone with some physical drawbacks and even more deadly in some cases, a severe case of depression, decides to end their lives, then the public could start to view severely ill people as "ready." And why not? As soon as a person is "suffering" or can't act like they used to the Supreme Court will have given them the right to end their lives. This kind of interaction by the courts could have more impact than we can see. People, especially healthy ones don't like pain no one does. But there are also problems inherent when family members are allowed to choose whether or not their relatives should live or die. Are they ending the person's life for the patient's good or to stop the suffering of grieving family members? No matter how the circumstances are twisted a life is still being taken and that is not a choice we are granted No doctor or second opinion or suffering family member should be allowed to say when the patient's time is up. Life is a gift... the ultimate gift. We did not choose to be who we are and we should not be able to choose when to end it. God giveth. Let God taketh away. 4

Electoral College robs Oklahoma of power-packed vote I am writing in response to the article printed in the Oct. 3 issue of The Vista entitled "Poll Position: Fewer generation Xers vote in Presidential Elections,"... and why should we? Why should anyone in this stae bother to worry about who we vote for? The plain fact of the matter is that when it comes to the
presidential election, your vote doesn't count, unless you happen to live in California, Texas, Florida, New York, Michigan or Ohio. There is an obstacle that prevents true democracy from being achieved in America and it is the Electoral College. Simply put, the Electoral College

dictates how much "pull" your vote has based on the number of Congressman that represent the state you live in. A presidential candidate could win the election despite the fact that the popular vote could have elected the opposing candidate. What form of democracy is this?!
It's the form that rapes us of our individual right to choose effective leadership! But we here in Oklahoma and those in some other states have a reason to take pride in our democratic system. The state question balloting system is a prime example of how well the direct vote works for the
individual and his/her tax dollars. Granted we have a small population, but one would think that the technology we have today could invent a direct vote for the people and by the people. Hmmm, where have I heard that before. -Rob Gallavan UCO student

Liberal Arts gains use of fiber optics Faster than a speeding bullet. Lasers, lights and computer bytes. And it's all here at UCO. Five more computers in the Liberal Arts Building have graphical access to the Internet, thanks to some very expensive glass which resembles spaghetti. Fiber optics is made possible by strips of glass cut so thin they have to be colored in order to see them. It's because of these strips of colored glass, through which light waves travel, that UCO students have faster Internet service in some of the buildings on campus. "When they laid the fiber optics cables," said Keith Bowden, director of liberal arts technologies, "it basically blew the door off for possibilities for students." Movie, television and sound clips are all accessible on the Internet for research or entertainment, said Bowden. And by the end of the 1996 school year, the remaining 12 buildings should be connected through fiber optics, said Lee Kessinger, interim director of the computer center. Fiber optics are not funded by the student technology fee, but were budgeted into the $54 million Master Planproject.

Shock treatment:
Writer encounters chilly problem
L
ast February my then 7-year-old son Michael gave me quite a shock. I pulled into the driveway at 6:30 p.m. My heart had been thumping in my throat during the 25-minute commute from Edmond as a recurring image chipped away what remained of my confidence. You see, we live in front of a lake. My boys fish in the summer and in the winter they have but one desireâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to skate across that frozen lake. It doesn't matter to them that in Oklahoma it practically never gets cold enough to freeze to safe depths. They don't have skates, either. I ran to the backyard and there it was. A two-foot jagged hole in the ice about ten feet from shore. Nicholas, my black lab, was running along the fence line, frantically moaning in a hoarse bark. That was my image, at least.
In reality, Michael was sitting on the dark oak rocker that was pulled as close to the TV as he could get it. As a parent, I know that danger is everywhere. I spend a lot of time in needless certainty that one peril or another has caught up with one of by brood. But we can't protect them from everything, and that's the most terrifying and easily forgotten lesson of all. Michael's older sister had tried to teach me long ago. Fresh from the bath tub and wearing her favorite yellow Dr. Dentons, Lisa, 3 years old, snuggled in my lap. Her wet, blond hair smelled of Johnson's baby shampoo as we rocked the night away watching The Muppets Take Manhattan.
I was very careful about what Lisa watched on TV those days. I didn't want to take any chances with her tender psyche. I had cable and movie
stations, but I made sure that I monitored what Lisa saw. Consummate and all-powerful mother that I was, I had no qualms. Then came the night that she fell asleep to the sweet images of Kermit and awoke to the horror of Miss Piggy gone amuck. That's when I learned just how powerless I was. That night she woke me at 2:30 a.m. screaming hysterically. "Mommy, Mommy! The piggies are killing people! It's all bloody!" She led me down the stairs and into the den to witness a decidedly un-Jim Henson variety of pig-masked killer take apart a family with a chain saw in a classic called Motel Hell. She had gotten out of bed after everyone else was asleep and turned on the set. It was still turned to the movie channel. It took two more hours of rocking and talking ("No more
movies, no TV, Mommy!) to comfort her back to sleep. I removed the movie channels from my home soon after, but now, I've come to realize The Dichotomies of Parenthood. That we can't be everywhere, all the time , but that we must. That sometimes the more we try to protect them, the harder it is to succed. That now, 13 years and two little boys later, my children are subject to still more threats. No matter how hard I try, I am even more powerless to protect them from exposure to unspeakable violence and mean and meaningless sex. That if you give your children a rich environment and encourage them to explore the fertile bounds of their imagination, they will, more than anything else, want to watch Beavis and Butthead. That the only way to get then to stop talking like Beavis and
CONTRARY TO MARY Butthead is to talk like them yourself. That Cher was right when she said that as parents we must remember that when we teach our children to question authority, we will be the first authority they question. Scary stuff. Recently the cable company offered a special introductory offer where I could have gratuitous sex and violence brought into my home for pennies a day. Just what I need! With cold weather coming up, I'm thinking that would be just the ticket to keep my boy's inside until I get home.

will offer students the opportunity to practice interviewing skills with employers from their field. Representatives from school districts, insurance companies, accounting services, the Federal Reserve Bank and America Online will conduct interviews geared towards students in their field. The interview should be treated as if it were for a real job, said Stephanie Green, career counselor. "Students should dress professionally and bring their resume," she said. Following the interview the student will receive a short critique and receive advice on improving interviewing skills. Due to limited openings for the mock interviews, students are required to register in the CD & PS office by Oct. 10, said Green. Resume critique sessions will be conducted Tuesday through Friday The importance of a perfect resume should not be overlooked, said McAllister. "It is very important to have correct grammar, no typos or inconsistencies," she said. For more information about Job Search Week, call CD & PS at 341-2980, Ext. 3346. Budget

SGA passes proposal to encourage college involvement By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer
espite the importance of technology in the College of Business Administration, it has the smallest student representation on the Student Technology Fee (STF) Committee. The College of Liberal Arts with an enrollment of 50,356 students, has five student members on committee. The College of Education with an enrollment of 45,148 students, has eight members. The college of Mathematics and Science with an enrollment of 26,375 students has seven student representatives. The College of Business with an enrollment of 27,246 students, has two student representatives. The Student Government Association (SGA) unanimously passed a senate resolution Monday encouraging business students to become more involved. The resolution passed with an amendment that not only encouraged the College of
D
Business to have more than two students on the committee, but at least be equal to the number of faculty members on the committee. Sen. Derrek Belase, an author of the resolution, said that it seemed to him that the College of Business would want more student representation since technology is such an important aspect in business fields. "To me it's ironic that they have the least in representation, and the most degrees in the field of technology," he said. "We (SGA) feel like the students are paying money and they deserve to have representation on those committees," said Belase. "We don't have the power to make them do anything about it. We're requesting this from a student point of view." Belase said at one point last year, the College of Business had no student representation at all. "They've come a long way in the fact that they have two now, but I don't think they've gone far enough."

Golden Oldies evening Department seminar evokes `beneficial' exchange of ideas sparks memories By Telannia Hytche
Staff Writer
Baptist Student ,Union members got "golden" knowledge and established relationships with senior citizens at the "Golden Oldies" evening last Thursday at the Carriage Inn. "I think that there is a great need for students to be tied to an older generation," said Suzanne Lillard, associate director of the BSU. For an hour a week, BSU members sing hymns with senior citizens at Carriage Inn. The group meets every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. "Golden Oldies" represents the golden times of life and the singing of songs, said Lillard. Lillard started the- program when the retirement center was built on Ayers four years ago.
The evening consisted of group singing, a solo by Alison Davis and a group discussion over harvesting. BSU members passed out green paper apples with scriptures to remind residents of God's love. During the discussion, senior citizens from New York, Texas and Oklahoma talked about how they harvested tobacco, vegetables, cotton and wheat as children. When Lillard asked if anyone else had raised anything as a child, an Oklahoma City woman said, "I raised cane." Over the years, BSU members have met many residents with interesting lives, Lillard said. Last year, there was a man who fought in World War II and a woman who played on an allstate basketball team.

T
wice a month faculty members in the Liberal Arts department get together to meet and exchange ideas with new faculty at the Brown Bag Seminar. Dr. Clif' Warren, dean of Liberal Arts, said he thinks the meetings are beneficial to faculty because they get to know each other better and everyone is free to express their ideas. Dr. Kole Kleeman, professor of speech and communications, spoke to the faculty Oct. 4 about his ideas on what makes a classroom experience good for both the professor and students. Kleeman said he believes in the student-centered learning
environment, where the student has an active role in the learning process. "I think students get upset when they don't feel they have a voice," he said. He said he tries to recognize and get all of his students involved so they feel comfortable in his class. Kleeman said he thinks the lecturer is a thing of the past. School is not dead time, he said, but a place where the students are activity involved in the learning situation. After Kleeman spoke to the faculty, the floor was open for other professors to express what they believe works best in the classroom. Most said they agreed with Kleeman, but in some instances the classes are too big or do not lend themselves for open discussion.
A discussion of how to handle large classes centered around the class being divided into teams so everyone feels they have the chance to get involved. Warren said he thinks there will be larger classes in the future and professors must work to find a way to give the students a chance to participate. Kleeman said in the postmodern period society is in, students are expecting a democratic liberal arts based education. "They want to be included, they know that they are getting voices and they expect to be included," he said. Kleeman said he thinks complaints are going to increase if students are not included in the learning process.

UCO bids farewell to campus right-hand man By Roy Howe Guest Writer
ick Widener, executive assistant to the vice president for administration, has been the University of Central Oklahoma's front-line person for its current, two-year, $54 million campus-wide construction overhaul since the plan's inception. He also was responsible for setting up the university's accounting, purchasing, budgeting and central receiving software system that streamlined UCO's accounting process while he served as comptroller. After assuming these titles, as well as director of purchasing and other duties as assistant to the vice president for administration, Widener is leaving UCO Oct. 11 to fill a vice presidential position
N
at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha. Widener is directly involved with the revamping of almost every building and outside area on campus. The construction is being financed, in part, through $29 million in revenue bonds that were sold in less than a day in 1993—an idea initiated by UCO President George Nigh. During this construction, Widener has worked with architects, contractors, UCO employees and students to help the plan progress smoothly and to keep those who will be affected satisfied. "It's been rewarding to see these dreams become reality," Widener said. "At first, we weren't sure if it would really happen or not, but with President Nigh's dramatic leadership, our dreams are becoming reality." Widener's day-to-day commitment to
the master plan's dozen or so on-campus construction sites consumes much of his time at UCO. "I'm either on the grounds going through the projects or in meetings with contractors, architects or engineers, or I'm sitting down with building users to either design their buildings or plan their relocations." Widener said the UCO faculty and staff have provided valuable input toward the construction projects. "The faculty and staff have spent countless hours beyond their normal duties to help design functional and student friendly buildings, and they deserve a lot of credit to put up with the construction while teaching. There have been very few complaints," he said. Vice President for Administration Dr. Cornelius Wooten said Widener's
achievements at UCO are appreciated. "The university is grateful for the services he's provided, particularly the outstanding oversight he's given the past couple of years with the campus construction." Widener said he believes he'll be comfortable in Chickasha, but will miss UCO. The enticement of a vice presidential position, however, was one that Widener couldn't pass up. Nigh's June 1997 retirement also was a factor in his decision to leave UCO. "It was my hope and desire to stay at UCO until these construction projects were finished, but they are well under way and I know that the people here will see that they are completed," Widener said.

Bornman wins regional final By Joel Reagan
Sports Editor
Central Oklahoma junior Charles Bornman earned a berth into the ITA/Rolex NCAA Division II National Tournament Monday with a 6-3, 6-1 win over teammate Alan Harris in the Midwest Region_ al Finals at the UCO Courts. Bornman and Harris were among four Bronchos who made it to the semifinals of the tournament last weekend in Maryville, Mo. "The first half was beautiful tennis," UCO tennis coach Francis Baxter said. Baxter noted that Bornman's
Charles Bornman
win did not diminish the ability of Harris, originally from Johannesbrug, South Africa. "This weekend (Harris) just played exceptionally well," Baxter said. However, Bornman is "high-
caliber player," Baxter said. Bornman next plays in the ITA/Rolex National Tournament Oct. 24-27. The UCO women improved to 3-3 after defeating Cameron and Eastern New Mexico. Saturday. The two wins were sweet revenge for the ballclub, Baxter said. Cameron beat UCO two weeks ago and the Zias bested UCO three weekes ago. "Everyone stepped up and played with a lot of intensity," Baxter said. Sophomore Jana Vnouckova and junior Melina Martinez were the only players to win both of their matches during the day. 4

14 win in the third game Tuesday night at Hamilton Field House. UCO volleyball coach Mark Herrin said his team needed a morale boost after a three-game loss to Lone Star Conference leader West Texas A&M Saturday. The loss was UCO's first on their home court this
season. Herrin said his team drew extra motivation from trying to stop CU's school-record streak. Cameron, now 14-7,-came to Edmond with what Herrin thinks is their best team in years. "I think we enjoy being the underdog," said Herrin, who is longtime friends with CU coach Kim Vinson. "We came in here kind of low. . . . To come back and beat them, that's a big victory for us." The third game win came after the two teams split the first two games in convincing
fashion. The game was even throughout, featuring seven ties. UCO (11-4) threatened to draw away when junior Kate O'Neill slapped a kill off of CU freshman Shawna Sears' hands to make the score 12-9. Cameron battled to a 14-14 tie when CU junior Stephanie Hillstrom nailed a kill off of Arwin Schneider's dig attempt. Senior Stacey Schwartz answered with a soft tip over the net for a kill to give UCO the ball. She stopped CU from taking the lead at 13-13 in the V See CAMERON, Page 11

he Central Oklahoma football team has sung this song with their hands over their hearts four times so far this year after each of its four wins. Saturday's win was an important win to open conference play. Abilene Christian may not seem as an imposing foe but the Bronchos shouldn't take the Wildcats lightly. If the Bronchos want to win a national title, strong efforts are needed in the next three weeks with Abilene, Texas A&MKingsville and Angelo State (Texas) looming.
Catawaba? Top-ranked Carson-Newman couldn't and the fell out of the top spot Saturday. The North Carolina school took advantage of CarsonNewman turnovers and held the Eagles to a field goal.

Indiana (Pa.) moved up to the top spot becoming the fourth team to sit on the throne. Would somebody like to take charge of the No. 1 ranking? It could be UCO.

Unstuck in time: ll right my little Science fiction droogies, let's get things nice and sparkling clear. SF film was born in 1926 and since then Hollywood has given us about 700 films ranging from silly to serious and from frightful to frightening. The goal of SF films is to present an imaginary view of the future. They enlighten, teach, warn, and entertain. The best ones do all this at once. Take A Clockwork Orange or 2001: A Space Odyssey or 1984 for example. With that in mind here are a few guidelines to bear in mind when the SF (video) invasion hits. One: Excercise caution when renting anything that boasts "great" or "spectacular" effects.
A
Otherwise you'll end up with or Robot Wars, besides the truely great ones don't need to brag too much. Two: Never rent a SF flick that has the words "exotic" or "nudity" anywhere on the cover because your going to end up with too much of the old in-out that's wrapped up in a looselyknit SF plot. See films such as Hardware or Millenium. And three: Stay far away from action-star packed SF like Timecop and Demolition Man and Total Recall because the SF facade fades dismally in comparisson to the gun-toting, ultra-violence with no point other than that it's violent (and it sells). That said we are left with upwards of 600 films that are worth renting. To make these as easy as Robot Jox
A look at SF film's VIDEO finest and its fiascos
possible for you, my so-called droogs, I've broken these down into two categories. Great and Good-but-corny. Films in the great column include: Aliens I and II, 2001, Slaughterhouse V, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Abyss, Star Wars and Co. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, E. T. and A Clockwork Orange and all the classics, The Fly, Tarantula, THEM and The Thing
just to name a few, Oh my brothers. And in the Good-but corny column Dune (too hard to understand), Buck Rogers, The
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the Eighth Dimension, Outland, Phase Iv, Battlestar Galactica and all remakes of
afore mentioned films. Over the past several weeks I have discovered a few jewels
that you may consider on your next visit to the video store. Cronos, or Kronos is a mexican film that won the 1992 Cannes Film Festival Award for best picture. A bit slow and wordy but all in all a fine piece of work about eternal life and the price to pay for it. And Shock Waves. A cheaply edited, circa 70's film starring Peter Tarkin (Governor Tarkin from Star Wars) about genetic engineering that sends chills down your spine simply because of the direction. In the future look for The X Files movie, Alien IV and the newest voyages of the Enterprise in First Contact. Right-right?

007's Goldfinger remains best spy-thriller
I
t's my impression that phenomenons do rarely exist. But, what about the phenomenon which set the standard for hollywood as we know it today? In 1962, Ian Fleming, author, and Albert "Cubby" broccoli, producer, joined together to create the most intriguing and world-renoun character, James Bond (Secret-agent 007). Goldfinger was Fleming and Brocoli's glimpse of what they had wnted to achieve. With some help from superb acting by Sean Connery (Bond)
The Wall Street Journal
Goldfinger exhibits the malacious villians and cliffhanging suspense that has made the James Bond adventures so popular. In Goldfinger, dashing Agent 007 pursues ruthless millionaire Auric Goldfinger (Gert Frobe) suspected of criminally tampering with america's gold reserve, so his own gold supply will increase in value. The excitement never faltered. This film shows the continuing of Bond's womanizingfrom the opening scenes to the uncontrollable

Grades-by-phone available to UCO students starting Oct. 16 By Lisa Tatum
Staff Writer
UCO's "Grades-by-Phone" system will allow students access to their midterm grades beginning Oct. 16. By dialing 1-800-599-2144, students can hear their grades 24 hours a day until Nov. 15, said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment. The touch-tone activated system will prompt students to enter their personal identification number (PIN). Following a 60second advertisement, a recorded message will then state their midterm grades. A PIN corresponds to a student's birthdate unless the
student has changed the number at one of the campus' terminals. Legere said students who intend to use the system should not change their PIN number after Oct. 14 because a new PIN number would only allow terminal access on campus but not phone access, he said. "Grades By Phone" has been available for final grades since the end of the 1996 spring semester. "This is the first time midterm grades have been available," said Legere. Midterm grades are not mailed to students but copies can be obtained from the Records Office in Room 102 of the Administration Building.
Political forum planned By Cynthia Chung
Staff Writer
The final installment of a three-part political forum series begins at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 14, at the University of Oklahoma campus. The series is sponsored by The Daily Oklahoman's continuing election coverage for "It's Your Decision '96." The forum will revolve around the theme of "Education and Other Issues," but Linda Lynn, The Oklahoman's community editor, said she may narrow it down to a more specific topic. Dr. Chris Markwood, asssistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts at UCO, will
moderate the forum. The forum is a two-hour session at the Oklahoma Center for Continuing Education, Thurman J. White Forum Building at 1704 Asp Ave. The panelists are 4th Congressional District candidates Norman Republican J.C. Watts (incumbent) and Democrat Ed Crocker, Robert Murphy, Floyd Coppedge, state education secretary and Nancy L. Mergler, University of Oklahoma senior vice president/provost. For more information, call Lynn at 475-3332.

Student aid makes unexpected gains in spending bill WASHINGTONâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Just weeks before the election, President Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress have approved far-reaching gains in student financial aid that exceeded even the most optimistic forecasts of education advocates. "The budget we agreed to...contains the biggest increase in Pell Grant scholarships in 20 years," the president said Sept. 30 after the White House and congressional leaders reached the end of marathon negotiating sessions. The agreement provides a maximum Pell Grant of $2,700, an increase of $230 above the - current level. The White House first proposed the $2,700 level six months ago in a budget most lawmakers called "dead on arrival" at its introduction. The figure also is significantly higher than recent Republican student-aid proposals. The House proposed a $2,500 grant and the Senate Republicans countered with a $2,600 maximum only 10 days ago. Overall, the final agreement contains an additional $3.5 billion for education above the budget for fiscal 1996, which expired Sept. 30. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By College Press Service
Dumpster dilemma He said the company should finish their work by Oct. 15 or 16, weather permitting. After they are done Kaaichelo said the men would clean up around the building. Even the company who owns the dumpster haS no idea who ordered it from Waste Management of Oklahoma. Christy Krapff, a Waste Management employee, said she has received calls about the full dumpster but nothing can be done until they find out who is responsible for it."We empty it when the person who ordered it calls and asks for a pick up, but no one has called us," Krapff said. "We can't come out and empty it until we know who to send the bill to." She said her company was going to do a sight survey some time this week to try to solve the mystery of who ordered the dumpster.

No one seems to know when or by whom the dumpster outside of West Hall and Central Cafeteria. was ordered. Farrell Rosson, Physical Plant assistant director, said the dumpster is not theirs. He said the city of Edmond empties the other dumpsters twice a week and the Physical Plant takes care of all the trash bins on campus. Rosson said he thought the construction crew working on the roof of West Hall might have ordered it. Kenny Kaaiohelo, vice president of Southwestern Roofing, said the dumpster was not ordered by his company. "We use our own truck to take away our debris," Kaaichelo said.

Opinions varied around campus about the first presidential debate held Oct. 7. "I was disappointed that Ross Perot was not allowed to debate. I thought there was too much posturing and blaming of society's problems on the other candidate. I think each candidate took credit for what the people of the U.S. did for themselves," said Ruth SYNDICATE Eppison,a junior at UCO. It was the people who pulled themselves out of the recession and not politicians. There was no credit given to grassroots organizations that helped improve condition in this country over the last few years, she said. Mel Spera, a junior at UCO, thought overall the debate didn't swing anymore votes but it did confirm her vote for the candidate of her choice. "Dole was underhanded, he said he wouldn't make personal attacks then he did," said Spera. Senior Barrett Huffmyer, isn't a Clinton supporter but thought he presented himself will. Dr. Jan Hartd, UCO political science professor, said although CNN presented Dole as the winner she thought both candidates were equal. Out of her class of 40 students, the eight or nine who watched the Vi debates all thought the candidates fared equally. "I learned something new about the candidate I am voting for and it reconfirmed my choice," said Hartd.
