The Student Voice Since 1903
Contruction woes continue to hinder campus commute By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer
I
One culprit responsible for continuing transportation inconveniences across campus is a 20 foot ditch sprawling across the university grounds. The main purpose of the ditch is to contain the heating and cooling lines for the university once the new construction is completed. The ditch will also contain fiber optic cables and plumbing lines. Recently, for a day, the ditch hampered transportation between the Business and Communication Buildings and areas north of the buildings. Wooden bridges and wire fences have since offered passage through the areas. Within the next couple of weeks, the ditch will extend west along that line, Nick Widener, executive director of special projects said. More walkways will be built if possible, he said. Eight large concrete vaults will also eventually be constructed, Widener said. The vaults will offer access to the heating and cooling line connections and water valves, he said. They will be placed strategically across campus so problems in buildings can be addressed easily. "If we spring a leak in the heating and cooling lines, then the vaults will allow us to just cut a valve off until we can fix the problem," Widener said. The nearest problem will occur within a couple weeks, Widener said. Construction for a vault will prohibit sidewalk transportation between the Old North and Max Chambers Library. Several parking spots in the lot northwest of Old North will be lost so a walkway can be provided between the areas, Widener said. Other transportation problems should not occur for the next month or two when another vault will be dug, Widener said. A

Students observe first UCO gay/lesbian 'Coming Out Day Student 'comes out,' has positive outlook When Charley Harjo began his freshman year at UCO in 1988, he had a secret. Two months later, in October, he was ready to share that secret with his friends. Tired of living a lie, Harjo began telling people he was gay. Now, for National Coming Out Day, Harjo shared his experiences of "coming out of the closet."

trike One!
With Major League Baseball (MLB) on strike and no end in sight, at least until 1995, one more major sports organization has let their fans down and threatened to strike for more money: the National Hockey League (NHL).

Strike Two!
The NHL has refused numerous offers from their owners to settle the impasse that has risen between the two sides. The season has been postponed until Oct.15 to try and reach a new labor agreement. The NHL Players Association refuses to agree to the owner's terms of a salary cap, ala the MLB, and wants a piece of the owners gate revenues. So far, both sides are as far apart as the litigants in the baseball disagreement. Strike Three!
Now comes word from the National Basketball Association (NBA) that a strike is looming over the hardwood floors of America. Commissioner David Stern believes the season will begin without a lock-out by the owners or an out-and-out strike by the players. The players want free–agency as in baseball, and the owners want a smaller salary cap than enforced today. The only professional sports organization not experiencing these problems (yet) is the National Football League (NFL). But the NFL went though a strike-shortened season just a few years back. Why are these men who play little boy's games worried about making more money? The multi-million dollar contracts they have could support a country like Haiti for many years. Yet the only people hurt by their tantrums are the fans and employees of each organization that survive because of these sports. The fans are the ones who end up paying for the problems in the form of increased ticket prices and concessions. Thank God for collegiate sports. No lock-outs, no strikes, no salary caps, no labor problems at all. We can sit back and watch more exciting games at very little cost. Plus, the excitement level is usually twice that of professional sports because the athletes play because they enjoy the game, not because of the money. We as fans should boycott the MLB, NBA and NHL until they sit up and take notice— You're Out!

SGA senator 'challenges' administration
p
lease allow me to introduce myself. My name is Amy Melvin. I am one of the SGA senators who voted in favor of impeachment proceedings for SGA President Ben Harris. I do not dislike or scoff Ben Harris, yet I am constantly referred to by fellow senators as one of the "13 who hate Ben Harris." Please allow me to clarify why impeachment charges were made and why they will not be forgotten or dropped. President Harris regards the charges as "personal bickering" in the Vista article featured Oct. 6, but allow me to remind the student body what rules were broken...what felony was committed by Harris. During accusations by the SGA continuum committee toward Harris on sexual (preference) discrimination, Harris admitted to taking a student's social security number to the enrollment center for the sole purpose of looking into the student's academic record in order to discredit the student's capabilities as a potential senator and campus leader. Secondly, Harris revealed to the press, Student Government sponsors, members of the Faculty Senate and an open group of students the exact grade point average, hours attempted and credited to the student in question was not qualified to be a member of SGA.
With Harris' personal views of the student aside, what Harris did was WRONG. No, there are not any signs or warnings near the computers in question about what a crime it is to get into another student's file, and yes, it is crazy to have all of that personal information accessible to anyone with a number in their hands or head. However, it is the opinion of the three lawyers and two law students that I have talked to, as well as the UCO administration in general that this act committed by Harris is in fact a felony and does violate the Privacy Act of 1974. If you are driving 55 miles per hour and are pulled over by a patrol officer and told that the speed limit is 35, are you not still breaking the law, regardless of your ignorance? Those with a glove compartment full of warnings throw the first stone. Ben Harris is an excellent president. I do not want to lose him as an executive or as a leader. However, for the purpose of consistency and fairness, he must be brought to trial...not ousted, but given a chance to defend his actions and to set a precedence. Right now, any student or person off the street can take YOUR social security number to the Administration Building and get the intricate details of YOUR academic life. I dare the administration to pun-
ish anyone who is caught. I dare the student body or the student being violated to demand justice. We are letting a student get away with breaking the law simply because of his title and his position. Ben Harris did not mean to break the law, and I will testify to that on his behalf, but I will not stand by and let him or any other student get away with the actions Harris has admitted to taking. I challenge the administration to post rules near the computers warning potential law breakers of the violations and punishments of taking such action. I will personally write legislation to get a password program installed in all fileaccessible computers on campus. I will, as well, continue to lobby and to vote for the impeachment of Ben Harris. "Personal bickering?" Call it what you want. What do you think of the attendants of the "altar of procedural correctness" at this point? Pretty nerdy sticklers of the rules, huh? Well, if you condone the breaking of laws and lack of punishment of such crimes, I encourage you to join Student Government. Apparently if the majority thinks you are cool, they obviously think that you are immune from the rules. Pretty neat what politicians can accomplish, eh? —Amy Melvin

Assistant ambassador speaks about NAFTA When NAFTA became a reality and new markets opened up, American businesses worked feverishly to expand into Mexico. Oklahoman Robert M. Anthony, assistant ambassador to James Jones in the American Embassy in Mexico City, spoke to UCO students Oct. 5 in the Pegasus Theatre about some of the ways NAFTA has affected American business. The lecture was part of class curriculum for students in geography of Mexico, the U.S. Presidency, international finance, international business law, introduction to world politics and Spanish classes. "Businesses are finding out it's not the same doing business in Mexico as in the U.S.," Anthony told the students. "Companies are finding they do better when they hook up with a partner." Anthony cautioned those interested in expanding businesses into Mexico. "If you have a business struggling in the U.S., going to Mexico will not solve your problems. It's difficult to open a business anywhere. "It's not a salvation for failure, it's an opportunity to expand," said Anthony. One of the product categories increasing exports to Mexico because of NAFTA is automobiles. However, some products need to be modified to meet Mexican styles before exporting to Mexico. An example of men's suits was

used by Anthony to illustrate, with Mexicans preferring a more European cut. Anthony gave advice for students Robert Anthony wanting to work for American companies in Mexico. "There are a lot of opportunities. I would encourage you to take a foreign language," said Anthony. "I'm partial to Spanish first, and then German." Anthony said persons coming in with experience in a particular field in the private sector or taking a qualifying exam have the best chances at employment. About 12,000 people take the foreign service written exam in about 200 locations around the country each fall, said Anthony. Of those that pass, about 2,000 proceed to the all-day oral exam given in about 20 locations. A background check is done on all applicants taking from six to nine months. Governmental department with good potential for employment include the Commerce Department and the Department of Agriculture, said Anthony. Previous to working for the U.S. State Department, Anthony was Oklahoma's assistant attorney general in the litigation department and worked as an attorney in the Norman law firm Pence, Housley and Anthony.
Chinese culture visits gallery Exhibit opening highlights unique customs, events By Mike Erwin Staff Writer Visitors from the Chinese consulate were in attendance as the Donna Nigh Gallery opened its latest exhibition with a reception Oct. 4. The Chinese Cultural Exhibition is on loan courtesy of the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China and will run through Oct. 14. Special guests at the reception were Shengyun Qiu, consul general; Lin Zuosen, head cultural consul; and Zhigang Wang and Zhao Haisheng, cultural consuls. Wang assisted Dr. Jo Ann Adams when she traveled to the consulate in Houston to select the works. The exhibition consists of 40 paper cuts, paper intricately cut with knives and scissors. The works are very symbolic, said Adams, director of the Donna Nigh Gallery. "They like to involve nature in their events and use different types of animals to portray different events," she said.

Call boxes serve many purposes day or night, says UCO sergeant By David L. Hanigar
Staff Writer
•
Wednesday, two workers from Virginia Beach, Va., spent their day attempting to make the university grounds safer to students. The workers, Larry Carter and Robert Watt, are installers for Call-Box Systems, a company that builds, installs and maintains call boxes across the nation. "We're the only one in the world that makes these type of boxes," Watt said. The boxes are two-way radios that, once the button is pushed, connect directly with UCO police radios. Seven boxes were installed Wednesday. However, before three resident students approached Student Body President Ben Harris with concerns for their safety, installation of five boxes had been scheduled several months away, Nigh said. The boxes were a part of the contract with Boldt Construction, a contracting company handling much of UCO's construction. "What I did was ask them, `Why don't we just leap frog the box installation,'" Nigh said. Two of the seven boxes were not a part of the contract. The university paid for them. "They cost about $2,700 each," said Farrel Rosson, project coordinator. The university spares little expense to insure the student's safety, Nigh said. Actions other than the call box installations have been taken. "We're trimming trees and putting up lights," Nigh said. Sometimes in all the con. struction, things like lighting are overlooked, Nigh said. All the students have to do is notify administration about it. The university now has a total of 16 boxes throughout the campus and parking lots. They are bright orange with blue lights that flash above the box once activated. Several are identified by blue striped poles. The boxes are tamper resistant, said Ruth Norman, CallBox Systems co-owner. "There's nothing that's 100 percent foolproof, but we have these all over the country and very seldom do we have a problem with them," Norman said. The boxes withstand winters in New York and tornadoes in other states, one installer said. The boxes are also mounted with uncommon screws, so they don't fit normal screwdrivers, and are attached to a tamper-alert sensor. A voice would tell the box number and that it was being tampered with, Norman said. Electricity and battery power
run the boxes. If a light pole only receives electricity at night, the battery runs the unit by day, Norman said. The battery also works when power to the unit has been cut. In addition to the tamper resistant features, a voice notifies police of the box number before anything is said. "If the person can't talk or something like that, the police already know there's something wrong," Watt said. Students use the box, said Sergeant Ted Jones of the UCO Police Department. The same
group uses them most of the time, although daylight escorts are seldom. "I think most people feel safe around here in the daytime," Jones said. People push the button for all kinds of reasons. Directions across campus is an example. They are most commonly used for jump-starts, Jones said. One officer fills her day almost completely with jump-starts and car problems. No matter the reason or the time, however, they can never cry wolf, Jones said.

You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning. By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax-deferral and give your money time to compound and grow. Consider this: set aside just $ioo each month beginning at age 3o and you can accumulate over $138,2o9* by the time you reach age gS.

And the winners are... Nuclear tests conducted in China BEIJING (AP) — China conducted its second nuclear test this year today, defying pressure to join an international moratorium on such blasts. The Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a statement confirming that an underground nuclear test had been conducted, the official Xinhua News Agency reported. The test explosion was China's third in just over a year. The first news of the test, which had been expected for weeks, came from Australia. Acting Foreign Minister Gordon Bilney said the blast in northern China was detected by the Australian Seismological Center in Canberra at 1 1:25 Jp.m. EST Thursday. China also conducted tests in October 1993 and June 1994. Unlike other major nuclear powers. including the United States. China has refused to join an international moratorium on nuclear tests. But it maintains that its tests have been limited in scope and says its nuclear weapons are solely for defensive purposes. "Among all the nuclear states, China has conducted the least nuclear tests," Xinhua quoted an unidentified ministry spokesman as saying. "It has always exercised great restraint on the question of nuclear tests and will continue to do so in the future.''
'R-rated' language ban suggested RARITAN. N.J. (AP) — In an R-rated world, officials want to keep this tranquil borough rated G by making it illegal to swear in public. To hell with that, says the American Civil Liberties Union. "You can't outlaw rudeness — half of our society would be in trouble if being rude in public was against the law," said New Jersey ACLU legal director Marsha Wenk. "What someone thinks is rude may not be rude to someone else." The proposed law would ban "profane, vulgar or indecent language" in public, as well as "insulting remarks or comments to others." The maximum penalty would be a $500 fine and 90 days in jail. All six members of the borough council support the proposal and are expected to adopt it Oct. 11. The ACLU swears it will fight the ban if enacted. Raritan is a 2-square-mile borough about 30 miles west of New York City, with spacious single-family homes and nearly 6,000 residents, many of them senior citizens. Mayor Anthony DeCicco said there have been no reports of rude behavior recently, and he wants to keep it that way. DeCicco and Councilman Michael Cringoli say they've received overwhelming support for the amendment.
Sailboat catches fire off Dominica SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Four people died and 28 were missing after fire erupted on a sailboat off the Dominican Republic. The Coast Guard planned to resume searching for the missing this morning. All on board the 38-foot wooden boat were Dominicans, said Alex Worden, a Coast Guard Petty Officer in Miami. The boat was carrying 117 people. "That's extremely overloaded," said Petty Officer Christopher Haley, spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard in San Juan. People on shore spotted the fire two miles off Point Nisibon Thursday and took boats out to try to rescue passengers, Haley said. A U.S.-flagged tugboat, Big Rhino, picked up 85 passengers and the four dead, said Haley. Many were later transferred to a coast guard cutter, and officials were deciding whether to bring them to Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital, or to Puerto Rico.

B rthday celebration to end with drawing, bell-ringing activities By Anthony Tompkins Staff Writer
Music, drawings for cash and prizes and the tolling of a bell will accent UCO's 103rd birthday celebration to be held from 12:20-12:50 p.m. Oct. 13 on the west side of Old North. Those entered in the contest must be present at the ceremony or have a representative claim their prizes on their behalf, and the representative must have an official notification letter from the student activities office, said Susan K. Thompson, director of student activities. "I think it's a wonderful event not only for the university but for the community, and we are happy to be involved," said Wanda Cantrell, executive vice president of the Edmond Chamber of Commerce. The 103 students chosen in Thursday's drawing and two UCO band members will receive a $20 gift certificate to the University Center Bookstore, said Cantrell. "The winner of the $750
scholarship will ring the bell that was used to summon students to class when the university first started," said Tawni Corwin, president of the President's Club. Students registered for the birthday drawings will have several chances to win. A list of 103 names was taken from the contest entries. From the list, drawings will be held for a $750 scholarship and 10 prizes donated by the Edmond Chamber of Commerce, said Corwin. Students not listed in the 103 names have the opportunity to win a $500 scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to the winning student by Chris Elerick, president of the President's Leadership Council. If after 10 tries an attending winner does not claim the $500 scholarship, the money will be held for a future program, said Thompson. The organization responsible for registering the most contest entries will receive $300 for use in future activities, said Corwin.

He had known he was gay for some time, said Harjo. "I was never confused. I always knew I was gay, but growing up in the Bible Belt, you learn real quick what the implications of that are." Nevertheless, Harjo decided to begin telling people. "I just started testing the waters with my friends and then I finally told them I was gay." He says the initial responses from the first friends he told were encouraging. "One girl I know laughed and said something like 'So that's why you didn't come on to me."' Six months later, Harjo decided it was time to tell his mother. Though she was supportive, she didn't understand her son's homosexuality. "She was willing to learn, though," he said. "We've worked very hard dealing

UCO uses a touch of Broncho magic Last minute bomb dooms ACU, 36-33
Central Oklahoma quarterback Stanley Pena eludes an ACU defender during Saturday nights 36-33 triumph over the Wildcats at Wantland Stadium. (Staff photo by Chris Smith)
By Scott Moore Sports Editor
It was as if Central Oklahoma had planned it. First you fall behind, throw a scare into the home crowd, and then when it seems that the game is completely lost you pull it out of the fire for a miraculous victory. Easy. And that's exactly what the UCO Bronchos did Saturday night at Wantland Stadium against Abilene Christian University. Almost according to a plan UCO fell behind late in the game 33-30. But with just a little over one minute to play and UCO facing a fourth-and-forever situation at their own 23, sophomore quarterback Stanley Pena threw a perfect strike to split end Tony Bryson who had beaten his defender along the sideline and headed for the end zone on a pass play that covered 77 yards. The point after failed and UCO clung to a 36-33 advantage. "Coach (Bill) Massey told me
before the play to throw it to Bryson," said Pena. "I went back into the huddle and told Tony to get open and go deep. And all I did was drop back and launch it. The line did a great job of blocking." For the record, Pena went on to say that the pass route was actually called "69", not to be confused with the street football play of "go deep". "It's no question that it was a wild affair," said UCO Head Coach Gary Howard. "You have to give our guys credit for hanging in there
and not giving up." Sparked by the play, the Broncho defense stepped up and took control when Abilene Christian started at their own 32 on their final possession of the game with just 56 seconds remaining. Wildcat quarterback Andy Newberry was sacked on the first play from scrimmage by UCO defensive end Troy Chitsey. It was the first sack of the game for the UCO defense on the night. After an incomplete pass, Newberry was sacked again, this time by defensive end Phil sexton. The Wildcat's hopes ended

son favorites Texas A&M University Kingsville. Abilene Christian outgained UCO in total yards 346-340. The Wildcats held UCO to 222 yards on the ground. UCO entered the game averaging 253 per game. ACU used a pressuring defense, putting as many as nine men on the line in order to stop the run. Pena was sacked eight times on the night and completed 12-of-23 attempts for 193 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. "I knew it was going to be a tough game tonight," said Howard. "They put nine guys on the line andthey were able to put a lot of pressure on us but at the same time that leaves them open for big plays against them." ACU was still pressuring the line and running man-to-man coverage when the Bronchos scored their game-winning touchdown. "I can't believe they were still putting eight and nine men at the end of the game like that," said Howard.

UCO hit a whopping .500 in game one while holding the Lady • Javalinas to nothing, literally. TAMUK hit .000 in 19 attempts and made four errors.
