WORLD WRAP Test tube goats pave way for new genes, species ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Willy and Nilly look like any two baby billy goats, munching on hay and gazing wide-eyed at the scientist examining their budding horns. However, Willy and Nilly are the world's first test-tube goats. Their birth represents the next chapter in barnyard biotechnology, in their case, altering genes to breed goats with better milk. "The sky's the limit," said Dr. Benjamin Brackett of the University of Georgia, cuddling a squirming kid. "If we could alter the composition of goat's milk just a bit, instead of nature's most nearly perfect food it would be perfect. Or people could get their medicine from milk. We have all sorts of ideas," he said. Although Willy and Nilly, born in August, are not transgenic, Brackett's technique clears the way for faster, easier reproduction of transgenic goats, he said.

Comedy couple pay for beating up photographer

•

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Roseanne and Tom Arnold agreed to pay $20,000 to a paparazzo who said Arnold beat him up and broke his camera equipment when he snapped the couple's picture at an airport. A lawsuit filed by photographer Gary Aloian said he was taking pictures of the pair on Aug. 5, 1990, at Los Angeles International Airport when Arnold got him in a bear hug, punched him repeatedly in the back and broke his equipment. Mrs. Arnold, according to the lawsuit, egged on her husband. Aloian said in court papers that he suffered extreme back pain and emotional damage and had trouble working because he feared another assault. Arnold denied striking the photographer but admitted disabling his equipment. The Arnolds agreed to settle on Aug. 9, but it was not widely known until Friday. VSee

Pay raise for faculty, staff on agenda for Regents meeting By Roy Howe Staff Writer

A proposal for almost $1 million in pay increases to full-time faculty and staff at the University of Central Oklahoma will be presented for approval to the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges who meet on campus this week. Due to a reduction in state appropriations, no salary increases were granted to full-time faculty or staff this fiscal year. An exception includes teaching faculty whose contracts offer pay increases based on years of service, rank or graduate hours of credit. For this scale UCO had already budgeted $202,000. The proposal states that effective Jan. 1, 1994, if approved by the regents, the university will implement a $400 increase to both faculty and non-faculty full-time positions. This excludes the president and full vice presidents. A longevity plan for non-faculty fulltime employees will provide a single payment on their anniversary month based on years of employment at the university. Effective Jan.1, 1994, the longevity plan will pay $200 yearly during an employees first five years and increases in five year increments by $50. Employees at the university more than 15 years will receive an annual longevity payment of $350. The proposal also calls for increasing the minimum 12 month salary for full-time non-faculty employees to $13,000 effective Nov. 1, 1993 and to $13,400 effective Jan. 1, 1994. Nigh said he plans to increase this amount yearly. To bring an employee's earnings compatible with those at the same level or job classification, Nigh's plan includes equity and classification pay adjustments for nonfaculty personnel. These alignments are expected to total $339,135 and, if approved

Curiosity killed the cat, many other animals too Across the United States, biology departments everywhere will at one time or another have their halls filled with the smell of formaldehyde as the annual required dissection begins. Fetal pigs and stray cats will be laid spread legged with their tongues hanging out as scalpels split their soft bellies. Their guts go on display. The insides of animals and how their equipment works are very important in the field of biology as well as other professions, but the act of dissecting is becoming outdated. It isn't necessary in this day and age to kill animals for the purpose of dissecting. There are alternative ways to study the insides of a creature. An abundance of computer programs, video discs, models, self-study modules, charts and manuals are all available to students without harming any animals. Throughout America, a movement has started concerning the welfare of the environment and treatment of animals. However, animals used for college courses seem to be forgotten. Does an education justify the gassing of unwanted cats or the bleeding out of a mother pig? Some classes even open up live frogs so their still working insides can be studied. Other options can be utilized in classrooms to teach anatomy. Students have a right to refuse dissecting an animal. The only way to utilize more civilized methods of instruction is to speak out again dissection. Most students wander through college apathetically instead of actively effecting their chosen college. Instead of quiet unspoken doubt, students need to speak out against the archaic practice of mistreatment and slaughter in the name of education.

CORRECTION In the front page article in the Oct. 7 issue of The Vista, the AAUP was wrongly defined as American Association of University Presidents. It should have been the American Assoiciation of University Professors.

LETTERS

Fraternity president stands up for Greek system at UCO

his is in response to the letter that was in the Oct. 5 edition of The Vista, that was sent in by K. Parvez Murshed. I would like to say that the voting process on campus is not perfect, but doesn't deserve to be put down by anyone. With an 80 percent commuter population, it has always been a difficult task to get anyone to vote. The voting process has been getting better over the years and will continue to improve. Also, as a fraternity member, I find the remarks made toward fraternities completely unfounded. As someone unlike Mr. Murshed, who knows something about fraterni ties, I would like to state some

facts: 1. Three of five of the UCO fraternities surpass the All Men's Average on campus on a regular basis. 2. Fraternities and sororities make up over half of everyone who takes part in campus activities. 3.Fraternity members of today are tomorrow's leaders. Over 50 percent of all Fortune 500 companies are run by fraternity men. 4. Fraternity numbers on the UCO campus are larger than ever, and continue to grow. 5. Fraternities give thousands of dollars a year to local charities. The days of "Animal House" fraternities went out in the '80s, and have stayed out. Sure, we have

our share of fraternity parties, but we also run our own student organizations without any monetary assistance from the University. We build our own fraternity houses, collect rent, pay bills, and handle thousands of dollars a year in dues and fund-raisers. Why badger and put down the students all over the UCO campus who are trying to improve things? It doesn' t make any sense. Unless I'm mistaken, I haven't seen the name K. Parvez Murshed on any ballots or anywhere on campus until the letter. So, just get involved and quit whining. —Mark McMahill President, Kappa Sigma Fraternity

Student explains purpose of letter

, our members of the Greek system got offended by reading my letter in The Vista on Oct. 5 which expressed my concern about lack of participation of UCO students in elections. First of all, I want to say to those people that I respect their opinion. In America, everyone has a right to express their vies and this freedom of expression makes our society unique. The intention of my letter was to point out that only 1.3 percent of the student body participated in

the last election and democracy cannot survive without 99 percent of the population. The purpose of the letter was not to hurt the feelings of the fraternity members. If I have hurt their feelings, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to them. However, in the second part of their letter, which is extremely insulting to the 15,000 non-participating UCO students. Here, the writers said, "It is not that difficult to walk up, hand someone your ID, and put an X on a piece of

paper. It just goes to show you who cares about our campus—the ones who vote!" So aren' t they trying to say that 98 percent of UCO students do not care about our campus? Is that the kind of opinion you hold about the majority of UCO students? Keeping the majority of the students outside, no one will be able to achieve anything on this campus. If 98 percent of the students do not care, then why do the candidates ask them to vote? —K. Parvez Murshed UCO student

Governor appoints director for disabilities center By Joyce Kirtley Staff Writer

Gov. David Walters recently appointed Dr. Mike Hopkins, director for the Center for Disabilities Study at the University of Central Oklahoma's Nigh Institute, to the Oklahoma Developmental Disabilities Planning Council. "The Council is mandated by the Federal Government and agencies on developmental disabilities. Each state is responsible to establish a council," said Hopkins. "Appointments are made based on recommendations to the governor and qualifications," said Hopkins. "The Council has a responsibility to develop a state plan in collaboration with state agencies and consumers (disabled people)," said Hopkins. Prior to his appointment, Hopkins submitted a grant on aging and developmental disabilities to the Council.. Dr. Margaret Whittemore, UCO professor of gerontology will implemen t the grant, said Hopkins. Hopkins said the Council increases personal productivity for the developmentally disabled and helps them gain independence. "The disabled have been limited to opportunities to be involved in the community. We want them to be direct advocates for themselves," said Hopkins. Hopkins also served on the Council when UCO President George Nigh was governor.

Student responds to letter, defends Greeks

have a couple of questions and some comments in re sponse to Mr. Murshed' s letter of about a week ago. What are your qualifications? What election does express the views of the majority? The people who vote are the people who are involved! How can you say anything about the qualifications of Aaron Montgomery? Who are you?

In a time when different groups of people are fenced in by fear and prejudice, you seem to do everything to promote those divisive and socially corrosive ideas. If you believe the views of the majority aren't expressed, then convince the majority to vote (or maybe take some responsibility yourself and run for an office). As for your assault on Greeks: Greeks do run this campus, for the

most part. Nearly every major activity on this campus and many citywide activities are planned and executed in part or in whole by Greeks. Greeks are the people who care about campus life and are actively trying to improve it. As for your view on Greeks as individuals: I will graduate this may with a B.S. in Physics (3.48 gpa), I work 35 hours a week to support myself, am a volunteer at

Baptist Medical Center, a SP4 in the U.S. Army Reserve, am listed in "Who's Who Among Students in America's Universities and Colleges," and am a former chapter president of the Kappa S igma Fraternity at UCO. These are a few of my qualifications, what are yours? —Guy Terry UCO student

RAISE Continued from front page "I'm asking you to take this information to people with whom you work," Nigh said. With a 3 percent reduction in state funding to higher education this fiscal year compared to last, Nigh said pay increases could not be foreseen in June when the university's budget is submitted and approved by State Regents. "We were faced with the question from the legislature which asked, 'What would you do if we give you less money,' Nigh said. "This is the only university that responded with, 'we will let no one go, we will reduce no classes because of a reduction in revenue, we can accommodate this for the year.'" Nigh explained that he wanted to see what the financial shape of the university at this time would be before letting any money go towards increased salaries. "It made sense to me that we see first what we have got, what the enrollment was and what the revenue fund was. "There were people who came to me and said, 'well, we ought to

have salary increases all across the campus, — Nigh said. "I told them, 'not until I see the budget, not until I see the books.' That's why we waited until this time." With the university currently involved in a $50 million Capital Improvements plan, Nigh said that these monies are targeted for university improvements and cannot be released for salaries. "...We may get it (money) through a vehicle that does not allow us to put it towards salaries, such as the bond program, we can' t put any of that in salaries." Nigh told Faculty Senate members that he realizes state employees are poorly compensated and that this can reflect on the quality of a faculty. "I would like to emphasize that most public employees are underpaid, period," he said. "My commitment is to maintain the highest possible standards to this university and do the best that we can for all of our employees, particularly realizing that an outstanding faculty can only be attracted and retained when they are paid appropriately."

Illustrators to speak on panel at Graphics Communications Society meeting By Carol Cole Mills Staff Writer

Nationally-known, Oklahomabased illustrators Cameron Eagle, Mike Wimmer and Tim Jessel will speak on a panel at the first meeting of the Graphics Communications Society (GCS), Oct. 14 on the City Arts Center. Artist representative Suzanne Craig will also participate on the panel. The illustrators will talk about what they're doing now, show examples of their work, answer questions about how they got where they are and where illustration is heading. Cameron Eagle is known for his cartoon-style illustrations. One

of his recent projects was a logo/ i.d. spot for TNN. Eagle describes the spot as "an animated globe with cartoon icons flying around— anvils, chattering teeth and other funny things." "It pays to be insane," laughs Eagle. Other recent Eagle projects have been a Coca-Cola ad for Sports Illustrated for Kids, the cover for Art Director magazine and some of the characters for Carmen

Sandiego. The grinning KATT Radio billboards are an example of Tim Jessel's work. Jessel's work has been seen in Rolling Stone magazine and other national publications. Mike Wimmer's collage illustrations were seen on a recent Oklahoma City telephone book

cover for Southwestern Bell. Suzanne Craig will speak about marketing artists and illustrators. She will address the business side of graphic design. Doors open at 6:30 p.m with the program beginning at 7:30 p.m. The City Arts Center is located at 3000 Pershing Boulevard in the northeast portion of the Oklahoma City state fairgrounds. Membership dues for the year are $20 for students, $40 for professionals and include four scheduled events, complimentary subscriptions to three professional magazines and a GCS directory of members, sources, suppliers and sponsors. Admission for non-GCS members is $15 per event. For more information, contact Dr. Jim Watson at Ext. 5212, or call the GCS Hotline at 948-6405.

Applications for Miss Black UCO 1994 now being accepted of Girbauds at Parkway...and getting a free Girbaud shirt (up to a $60 value). By Terri King Staff Writer The Miss Black University of Central Oklahoma pageant, which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary on the UCO campus, is accepting applications from contestants through Oct. 29 in the office of Multicultural Student Services. The pageant which will take place Feb.6, 1994, is jointly sponsored by Multicultural Student Services and the Black Student Association. The winner of the Miss Black UCO pageant advances to the Miss Black Oklahoma pag eant and may have an opportunity to represent the state of Oklahoma in the Miss Black America pageant. Sonya Carter, the student director of Multicultural Student services and formerly Miss Black UCO 1992, explained that an applicant for the Miss Black UCO pageant must be a full-time UCO student and maintain an overall 2.25 grade point average or better, must be a single female between the ages of 18 and 25 or reach the age of 18 before Jan. 1, 1994; must never have been married, separated, divorced, annulled, cohabitin e. conceived or had a child:

must never have been arrested and convicted for any type of civil or criminal offense and must meet Oklahoma residency requirements. The reigning Miss Black UCO must be available for all personal appearances, speaking engagements and all commitments made on behalf for the Miss Black UCO pageant as well as maintain the required grade point average. The pageant winner will be awarded a full one-year Oklahoma Fee Waiver Scholarship (OFWS) with a one semester OFWS being awarded to the first and second runners-up. Black pageants were created during the time when state, local and national beauty pageants were closed to Black participation. Though participation in established pageants is now open to Black women, the Miss Black pageants continue as a way of honoring a uniquely AfricanAmerican perspective. The objective of the Miss Black UCO pageant is to provide a wider opportunity for African-American female students to compete in a local pageant and to honor and recognize African-American women for their scholarship and talent.

It's a great idea to come by the store before this select group runs out.

UCO police make arrest Thursday outside West Hall By Joy McNutt Staff Writer A 21-year old El Reno man was arrested outside of West Hall on the University of Central Oklahoma campus early Thursday morning for possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute, said Sergeant Ted Jones. While doing dorm checks, UCO Police Officer John Peoples saw Anthony Lloyd Aaron coming out of West Hall. He then conducted

a field interview of Aaron while running a check on him, Jones said. He found Aaron was wanted in Canadian County on a similar charge. Peoples placed Aaron under arrest. Subsequently, Peoples found about 2-1/2 ounces of marijuana and $1,031 in Aaron's possession and charged him with possession, Jones said. Jones also said they plan to try to seize the cash and will charge Aaron with failure to attach tax stamps to the plastic bags containing the marijuana in accordance

with Oklahoma Statute 68 Section 450.8. The statute states in section B that "Any dealer manufacturing, distributing, producing, shipping, transporting, importing or possessing any controlled dangerous substance without affixing the appropriate stamp, upon conviction, is guilty of a felony punishable by not more than five years or by the imposition of a fine not more than $10,000, or by both such imprisonment and fine." Aaron was placed in Oklahoma County jail, Jones said.

UCO joins Alzheimer's Association for 1993 walk By Bobbi Beldon Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma has joined with the Alzheimer's Association as a sponsor for the 1993 Memory Walk at 8 a.m. Oct. 16. Volunteers for the walk raise money through sponsor pledges. Walkers can solicit neighbors, coworkers and corporations for sponsorship to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. The Memory walk will follow a two-mile paved path through Hafer Park, Edmond. Shannon Miller, winner of the 1993 World Champion gymnastics and five Olympic medals, will be the local hostess. According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that attacks the brain and

results in impaired memory, thinking and behavior. It can render its victims incapable of caring for themselves. Alzheimer's disease is the fourth leading cause of death among adults. The Alzheimer's Association is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the research for the prevention, cure and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and provides assistance to afflicted patients, their families and caregivers. "I encourage students, staff and faculty to participate in this first Walk to make it successful" said Chalon Anderson, department of psychology.

The Oklahoma Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program (OSLEP) will begin its 1993-94 academic year on Oct. 13 through 19 with its first of eight seminars. The first seminar will cover the origin and significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls. OSLEP is an intercollegiate, interdisciplinary program sponsered by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and administered by the University of Oklahoma. Twenty colleges and universities statewide participate in the program. Students who attend these seminars have the chance to study with a scholar in the subject of that particular seminar. They also have opportunities to study with students from other participating universities. The five-day seminar, "The Dead Sea Scrolls and Judeo-Christian Thought," will be led by P. Kyle McCarter Jr., William Foxwell Albright Professor of Biblical and Near Eastern Studies at Johns Hopkins University, according to OSLEP. The seminar will be held on the OU campus. The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in caves near Khirbet Qumrum in the Judaean Desert, an event that has been described as the greatest archaeological discovery of all times. The chief purpose of the seminar will be to examine the content of the scrolls and their importance in the history of Judeo-Christian thought. Special attention will be given to the main ideas about the

origin of the scrolls, according to OSLEP officials. McCarter will also present a free public lecture called "The Mysterious Treasure of the Copper Scroll." The lecture is at 7 p.m. Thursday Oct. 14 in the forum building of the Oklahoma Center for Continuing Education, 1704 Asp Ave. in Norman. The Copper Scroll was found with the Dead Sea Scrolls but is written in a different language, script and on different material, according to McCarter. McCarter holds degrees from OU, McCormick Theological Seminary and Harvard University. He taught at the University of Virginia, Dartmouth College and Harvard before joining the staff at Johns Hopkins University in 1985. Dr. Ronald Fleming, University of Central Oklahoma campus coordinator for OSLEP said four of the 25 students accepted for the seminar are from UCO. "UCO has usually ranked second to OU in the number of students participating every year, not necessarily each seminar, but for the whole year," Fleming said. According to an informational brochure about OSLEP, admission to these seminars is by special application only. Juniors, seniors and graduate students with at least a 3.0 GPA are encouraged to apply. The cost is $128 for two credit hours at OU that can be transferred to UCO. Books, meals and housing will be provided at no extra cost. For more information about OSLEP, contact Dr. Fleming at 341-2980, Ext. 2824 or contact the OSLEP main office at (405)325-4309 or 1-800-5220772, Ext. 4309.

Nobel prize winners to speak at 'Salute to Education' By Scott Curry Student Writer Two Nobel Laureates whose research has played a large role in the development of new drugs will visit the University of Central Oklahoma Oct. 13-15 to lecture and visit with students and faculty as part of the Salute to Education program, said Dr. Narasinga Rao, director of faculty research. Dr. Jerome Karle and Dr. Herbert Hauptman received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1985 for their work involving the mathematical methods for solving the structures of molecules. "They developed an equation that allows us to arrive at the position of atoms in space from X-rays of crystallized molecules. This process has been essential to the design of many new drugs," said Rao, a former student of Hauptman's and organizer of the three day event. "We still use the techniques they developed." Nobel Prizes are awarded each year to persons who have made outstanding achievements in six fields: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, world peace and economics. Karle and Hauptman, who received their Nobel Prize while working together as a research team, will spend their time at UCO lecturing and visiting with students and faculty, said Rao. Hauptman, a professor of biophysics at the University of New York at Buffalo and president of the Medical Foundation of Buffalo, has visited UCO three times in the past; once to participate in the opening of the Nobel Gallery in Howell Hall, once as a keynote speaker at the Conference for Applied Mathematics and last year for a physics open-house during which he met with Edmond students ranging from high school to

elementary age. Karle, chief scientist and head of the Laboratory of the Structure of Matter at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., will be visiting UCO for the first time, said Rao. Karle will open the proceedings at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 13 with a public lecture, said Rao, and will also be presented with a key to the city of Edmond by Mayor Randall Shadid. "I consider it an honor to have two Nobel Prize winners visit our

Dr. Herbert Hauptman

city," said Shadid. "The key to the city is a symbol of our appreciation to them for making themselves accessible to our students." The lecture and presentation will take place at the Pegasus Theater in the Liberal Arts building. At 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 14, a gathering in honor of Karle and Hauptman also will be held at the Pegasus Theater, and on Oct. 15, graduate and research assistants will meet with Hauptman at the Nobel Gallery in Howell Hall from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m..

Dr. Bill Franklin will speak at 11:30 a.m. Oct. 14 in the Pegasus Theater. He will also speak at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 15 in Pegasus Theater. Franklin is the Executive Vice President of the Texas International Education Consortium. Dr. Rebecca Halyard will speak at 3 p.m. Oct. 14 in Pegasus Theater and at 10:30 a.m. Oct. 15 in Howell Hall Room 201. Halyard is president of the Society for College Science Teachers. The exhibits will include 29 covers from "Oklahoma Today" on display in the Donna Nigh Gallery and items from the State Archives Collection. The "Oklahoma Today" display will include covers from the first issue in 1956 up until the present. The state archives collection will display a variety of documents on

land runs, such as photographs from the 1889 run, prohibition and World War II memorabilia, said Gary Harrington of the Oklahoma Department of Libraries. Harrington said there will also be documents on the capitol dispute, such as an actual returned ballot on the location of the capitol, a ballot from the very first election in the state and a proclamation calling for the first legislature. "It' s going to be a real quick run through history," said Harrington. The archives collection will be moved from the Department of Libraries to UCO upon compledon of the David L. Boren State Archives Library. "About three years ago we reached capacity and could not accept any more records," said Harrington. He said by moving part of the archives to UCO it would give them more space and allow them to start accepting records again.

UCO runner treads quietly By Scott Moore Student Writer

If you were to walk up to UCO freshman cross country runner Jason Larabee and ask "Can I get a few words?" a few is all you' 11 get. Lots of direct no's, yeses or "yeah's" are frequently uttered and every once in a while, an "I guess so" is thrown in for color, but that's usually all the elaboration he'll give. As far as the season is concerned does Larabee have any goals in mind? "Not really," he replied. A direct, honest answer but a little lacking in information. But then again, when you run as well as Jason Larabee you can make your points on the course. Larabee is quickly emerging as a bright young talent on the University of Central Oklahoma cross country team. He currently runs in the shadow of senior Gary Hamer who is the team leader, but Jason quietly shares the spotlight. Through four meets so far this

year, Jason has shown obvious potential. In his first ever cross country meet as a Broncho, he placed in the top ten finishing ninth at the Fort Hays meet Sept. 11 at Fort Hays, Kan. He followed that with another ninth place finish at the Oklahoma Christian Invitational Sept. 18. The following week, at the UCO/Lake Arcadia meet Sept. 25, he placed sixth and, in his best outing so far this year, he finished third at the Cowboy Jamboree at Stillwater with a time of 27:04. Four meets and four top ten finishes— not bad for just a freshman. "Jason really has run well this fall for a freshman," said UCO track coach Paul Parent after the Stillwater meet. "And I'm confident that he will continue to improve." And what does Jason think? "I'm enjoying it," he said, very directly. A non-talkative 18-year-old from Putnam City North (graduated Spring of '93), Jason gave short answers to most all the ques-

tions. What made Larabee decide to attend UCO? "It was close," he said. Does he enjoy UCO? Does he like the campus? "Yeah," he said. Did Larabee tour the campus before deciding to attend? "No," he replied. Just went huh? "Just went," he said. An honor student at P.C. North with an exceptional grade point average of 4.2, Jason said he's not doing quite as well academically. "It's not tougher," he said. "I just get kind of lazy." "College is about what I expected," he added. "You just have to be a little more disciplined." Jason carries a course load of 17 hours. Add to that cross country workouts everyday, plus weight training three times a week and you can have some pretty busy days. But Jason isn't concerned. "I can balance it out," he said. "It's difficult, but I just have to remain focused."

Rubber blubber makes for Fair fun Once a wrestler was down he or she required the assistance of the ring officials to get up due to the weight of the cumbersome outfits. Balance was the biggest obstacle of competitors. Besides dodging an opponent and withstanding the force of gravity, a large majority of participants also had to fight off the effects of all the frosty 3.2 beverages they consumed during the hour-long wait in line. Fans cheered on as: wives got even with husbands for years of leaving the toilet seat up; quick little brothers finally got a chance to show fat big brothers what it feels like to be suffocated under a massive fat roll; men were treated to the difficulty pregnant women feel trying to struggle to their feet from a prone position and grown-ups got a chance to wear a diaper in public. Aside from the obvious benefits, who wouldn't enjoy making a fool of themselves in front of 200 people and getting applauded for it. Hopefully, the tent will become a Fair regular. The crowd loved it, the participants loved it and MillerLite loved it. All in all it was a sumo sensation.

By Justin Harper Vista Sports Editor

The Great State Fair of Oklahoma has come and gone, and with it went one of the greatest spectatorparticipation sports fair-goers have seen in years.

COLUMN Obviously I'm not referring to the Rodeo competition. Nope, I'm talkin' Sumo wrestling. Located at the far north end of the fairgrounds, the Miler-Lite-sponsored tent housed the most fun and laughs available on the midway. For $5 people could crawl into a 35-pound rubberized body of blubber and bump bellies with buddies. The idea was novel, the results were hilarious. At least 200 rowdy spectators hovered around the tent at all times to witness the pseudo sumo's. Willing participants, after adorning the latex lard, lumbered onto a 15-foot by 15-foot mat and proceeded to pounce on one another for three twominute periods.

Economist speaks on NAFTA

By Susan Anderson Student Writer

By Joyce Kirtley Staff Writer

Dr. William C. Gruben, senior economist and policy adviser at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, rolled up his sleeves and loosened his tie to tackle truths and fallacies of NAFTA in front of University of Central Oklahoma students, faculty and staff Wednesday. NAFTA is an agreement that, if passed, will give free trade between Canada, the United States and Mexico. In his speech, Gruben gave the history of the Mexican economy which led to NAFTA. "Mexico had serious economic trouble in the '80s, and they had to Dr. William C. Gruben, senior economist and policy adviserat the borrow a great deal of money.

Pumpkin carving, hayrides, storytelling and scarecrow stuffing are only a few of the activities planned for the First Annual Ham Homestead Museum' s Harvest Festival. The turn of the century farm museum located at 313 N.E. 16th Street, just Southwest of the Oklahoma State Capitol, houses five authentic turn of the century structures; the Harn home, a schoolhouse, farmhouse, working barn and the Shepard house as well as a display barn. Visitors to the festival can expect "tons of fun and games for kids and adults both," said Brenda Peck, Harn Administrative Assis-

tant. The festival will include a bonfire with marshmallow and wiener roasting, contests for pumpkin jumping, apple eating and corn shucking. A "territorial band playing authentic instruments and turn of the century tunes" will also be there, said Peck. Admission to the festival is a $10 tax- deductible contribution per family or organization up to 10 people. Proceeds go to support the museum's non-profit educational programs. The event is open to the public, but a reservation is suggested to provide a rough head count. To make a reservation of request more information, contact Brenda Peck at the Harn Homestead Museum (405) 235-4058.

Former governors join anti-lottery group; disagree with Walters TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Former Govs. Henry BeLimon and Raymond Gary, who opposed lotteries during their administrations, have joined an anti-lottery group's efforts. Oklahomans Against Lotteries also said Wednesday that eight state lawmakers, mostly Republicans, were named to its Tulsa County steering committee. The group opposes an initiative petition led by Democratic Gov. David Walters to bring the lottery to a statewide vote. Walters said in a statement he disagreed with Bellmon if the former governor suggested the lottery' preys on the poor. "A study by the University of Wisconsin indicates the most frequent lottery player is between 26 and 30 years old, has attended at least two years of college and earns between 530,000 and S40,000 a year," Walters said. "Governor Bellmon certainly has a right to his opinion," Walters said. "The people of Oklahoma have a right to their opinion, and we'll support their right to vote on the issue." Walters estitnates the state would earn about S64 million, or 35 percent of the total S182.7 million raised by the lottery. Half the state's share would go to the Oklahoma Center for Advancement of Science and Technology. Thirty-five percent of the state's share would go to equipment and facilities for education, mostly hi2her education. The rest would go to general equipment and facility purchases.

Tanya Tucker injures tailbone in tour bus shower mishap BOISE, Idaho (AP) Tanya Tucker rested Friday in a hospital after slipping in the shower and cracking her tailbone. The country singer had to cancel a show at the Western Idaho Fair because of the accident Thursday night. About 9,000 fans were in the stands when the show was canceled. Tucker, 34, fell in the shower of her tour bus and was taken to St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center. She was in fair condition, a hospital spokesman said. Dixie Pineda, Tucker's publicist, said she was resting comfortably and "she's fine, except obviously that tailbone."

Biologists explore Black Mesa Janet Runge Student Writer

The barren trees stood in silhouette against a brush of pink blush in the dawn sky. Directly overhead, the planet Venus hung fat and heavy, its icy glow an ancient maritime marker. The smell of damp earth and musty vegetation rose from the serene water that cut its way across the sheltered arroyo, filling the wind with its potent scent. An occasional fish jumped from the water in hopes of obtaining a juicy insect, the catch of the day. As the sun began to disintegrate the velvet darkness, a chorus of coyotes pierced the morning silence with mournful howls. The chorus was joined by other coyotes, until the hills echoed with their sharp cries. One by one, birds began to awaken and start their morning songs; a cry like a colicky child, another like Donald Duck with a raspy cold. A beaver, paddling down the creek leaving gentle ripples in his wake, seemed annoyed by the calliope of sounds. He slapped the water with his tail, and to the resulting crack that sounded like a .44-Magnum, he slipped beneath the glassy water. Morning had arrived on the Black Mesa. Located in the far northeastern corner of the Oklahoma panhandle in Cimarron county, is Black Mesa

State Park, the remains of an ancient volcano. This was the site of the University of Central Oklahoma's Biology Club's camping trip Sept. 18. The trip was held in conjunction with the Oklahoma Academy of Science's annual meeting. The Biology Club sponsors three to four trips per year for its faculty and student members. Their next trip, scheduled for Oct. 17 at Devil's Den State Park in Arkansas, will be geared more toward recreation, although no biologist can enter the field without observing the nature around him. "Everything we do has an educational component to a biology major," said Dr. David Bass, biology professor at UCO. "Our upper level courses may offer 20 to 30 different field trips per year, averaging anywhere from one day to a weekend." The field trips have included everything from bats to wildflowers. "You can only study in the laboratory so much, then you have to go out into the field," Bass said. Camping with a collection of biologists, mammalogists and assorted students of the scientific arts is an eye-opening experience. While most campers would chase off or kill a spider that had staked out their pavilion, the campers were delighted with her presence. They watched studiously as she stopped her weaving long enough to capture a call insect that had flown into her web, then empa-

thized in chorus as a fat moth caught in the sticky weaves broke free, leaving a gaping hole. The spider, oblivious to their observations, repaired the hole and continued her weaving. The students discussed their plans for the next morning, deciding which field trip they wanted to participate in. One camper lamented the fact that she didn't bring her plaster of paris to use on the dinosaur tracks. Another discussed the light trap he had set up on the creek bank in hopes of collecting some unusual insects. They exchanged amoebae jokes and bandied about genus and species names like other people talk about the weather. It was not unusual to see one of them take a stick and break apart dried scat to determine what kind of diet the local animals ate. Nothing went unnoticed. From the smallest insect that fed on the leaves of a spiny plant to the variety of birds that flew across the blue dome of sky. The scientists have a different way of looking at life- a way that is full of wonder and respect for the environment around them. When night fell, a distant lightening storm raged across the horizon. The clouds looked like a brain, the lightening like synapses firing across the surface, one camper remarked. A shooting star is not a star, but a meteor. But that fact didn' t stop the campers from lying on their backs in the grass, and watching the brilliant flames streak across the ebony sky.

'Rudy' premieres in South Bend liMes

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The last time a movie premiered here, 30,000 people packed downtown to see the stars. It was "Knute Rockne: All-American," starring Ronald Reagan 53 years ago. This time around, things were a little calmer. About 2,500 people turned out Wednesday to see "Rudy," another inspirational story about another Notre Dame football great. "This goes beyond football," Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger said on his way into the crowded theater. "It's about hopes and dreams and success." His own hopes and dreams and success, in fact. Ruettinger was the Notre Dame player sent in for the final 27 seconds of the last home game of 1975. He spent two years on the scout squad. When coach Dan Devine finally put him in, he sacked the Georgia Tech quarterback. The movie, filmed last fall on the Notre Dame campus, was directed by David Anspaugh. lie and writer Angelo Pizzo, both Indiana University graduates, also created the 1986 hit "Hoosiers." Sean Astin plays Ruettinger, who lives in Joliet, Ill. Ned Beatty is Ruettiger's father.
