Birth control vaccine created NEW DELHI, India (AP) — Scientists in India have created the world's first birth-control vaccine for women, effective for an entire year with a single injection, according to preliminary tests.

The vaccine's inventors, who have conducted clinical tests for seven years, believe it is safe, effective and reversible. Butit will be several years before nationwide tests are completed and it can be sold in India.

The vaccine does not prevent pregnancy, but stops the fertilized egg from sticking to the wall of the uterus. Pregnancy is naturally terminated within a week.

Drugstores file suit against Wal-Mart CONWAY, Ark. (AP) — The nation's largest retailer may get an opportunity to explain its pricing policy if a lawsuit filed by three Conway drugstores goes to trial.

The lawsuit was to go on trial last week in Faulkner County Circuit Court, but it has been moved to Feb. 9.

The drugstores say WalMart Stores Inc. has violated the state's Unfair Practices Act by advertising and selling items at a price lower than the item's original cost to Wal-Mart. The owners of the drugstores have filed sworn affidavits saying they have lost customers because of Wal-Mart's pricing practices.

Hut hit with photocopied coupons

By Tami Watson Staff Writer

Tobey Simpson kicked a 25yard field goal and fed over 4,000 University of Central Oklahoma football fans free pizza.

But the Pizza Hut promotion turned sour when UCO students hit the Hut with copied coupons.

The promotion began a year ago. UCO game goers could enter their name in a drawing at home football games and whoever's name was called could attempt a 25-yard field goal. If the field goal was successful, every fan in the stadium would receive a coupon for a free medium pizza from Pizza Hut. Last year no one succeeded.

This year someone did.

During half-time at UCO's homecoming football game against East Texas State, Simpson, a senior public relations major at UCO and a former place kicker for

Westmoore High S000l, placed the pigskin between the poles and won the fans free pizza.

"We hoped someone would actually get the kick and we're glad they finally did," said Regina Miljanich, Pizza Hut area manager. "The problem was in the distribution of the coupons."

While each person was to receive one coupon, many students were coming in with 40 plus of the simple, black-andwhite, easy-to-copy coupons, said Miljanich.

"When I made the coupons, I wasn't thinking about how easy they would be to copy," said Mike Kirk, UCO sports information director. "I just didn't think about it."

Kirk said he made about 3,500 coupons and ushers handed one coupon to each fan exiting the stadium.

After losing over $41,000 and 4,028 pizzas later, Pizza Hut employees caught on to the copying caper.

"We started comparing the coupons," said Steve, the manager of the store at 921 E. Danforth. "A lot of times it's hard to spot a fake, but we can tell."

The stores are now taking down the names and I.D. numbers of coupon holders to spot duplicates.

"If anyone's name shows up more than once, we call the UCO athletic department and give them the student's name," said Miljanich.

"It's very disappointing that our students would abuse this privilege by making copies of the coupons," said Kirk. "It's really made some of our students look bad."

Pizza Hut said they will continue the promotion at least for the rest of the season and possibly again next year, but some changes will have to occur.

"The athletic department promised that if another kick is successful, they will make the

coupons in way that is impossible to copy," said Miljanich.

Pizza Hut crew members will also take over the responsibility of handing out the coupons, said Miljanich.

A rumor also surfaced that Simpson's friends stuffed the ballot box with his name knowing that, because of his background, he could make the kick.

"I filled out my name one time and put it in the box," said Simpson.

Kirk said he looked through the ballot box to see if it was stuffed.

"Tobey's name was in there more than once, but not a significant number of times," he said. "There were many other names in there too."

The positve aspects of the promotion definitely outweigh the bad, said Miljanich.

"It was a great deal. It was just abused," she said.

A pizza parody •Photocopied coupons and multiple Tobey Simpsons top the medium pizza controversy At last a scandal has hit the University of Central Oklahoma campus. Well . . . sort of.

Pizza Hut's deal with UCO for free pizzas has gone haywire — or that's what they think.

At the homecoming game Oct. 3, Tobey Simpson, Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity president and president of the Intrafraternity Council, kicked the half-time field goal (the first person ever to do it) and everyone in the crowd was awarded a black-and-white coupon for a free medium pizza, one topping only — to be redeemed before Dec. 1.

But almost everyone who received coupons has more than beat the deadline. Pizza Hut has already given away over 4,000 pizzas and only 4,108 people were at the game. In the first two days alone, Pizza Hut gave away over 3,000 pizzas.

And the company has lost over $41,000 in profit.

So now Pizza Hut is angry with the university students. See the black-and-white coupons are easily photocopiable. And Pizza Hut employees must now check the student's I.D. and write down the Social Security number on the coupon. Some UCO students seem to be getting A LOT of free pizza. And Edmond High School students have picked up on the counterfeiting ring too.

The UCO Sports Information Office created the tickets and passed them out after the homecoming game. So now Pizza Hut is reportedly angry with them too.

In addition to the counterfeit coupons, a controversy is brewing about how many Tobey Simpson's there really are.

Although Simpson has said he only registered for the drawing to kick the field goal once — rumor has it that other fraternity brothers registered as Tobey Simpson. Simpson played soccer and was a place kicker at Westmoore High School — a good bet to make the field goal.

So photocopied tickets are floating around the UCO campus and there may be more than one Tobey Simpson.

And some adults don't think college students are smart .. .

Writer needs a history lesson oretta Thomas' impassioned letter about the need for prayer in the Oct. 6 issue of The Vista resounds with a clarion call to action: "Wake up America! Did we not learn anything about the Roman Empire and its self destruction?" It is clear that Ms. Thomas needs to review Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, for there is a fundamental flaw in her reasoning: the Roman Empire that "fell" was a Christian Roman Empire.

When the emperor Constantine I issued the Edict of Toleration in 313 AD, Christians were permitted to practice their religion openly. A mere 82 years later, in 395, another emperor, Theodosius

the Great issued what might be called "the Edict of Intolefation": all religions other than Christianity were officially banned. The Olympic festivals were stopped and the Oracle of Apollo was silenced.

Enter the barbarians. A Germanic tribe called the Visigoths (pushed by even more barbaric Huns) crossed over the border into the empire. Wanting to be accepted, the Visigoths converted to Arianism (a branch of early Christianity), but were still looked down upon by the "Orthodox" Christians of Rome. Finally, the Goths demanded satisfaction and went on the rampage. Led by their chieftain, Alaric, the Christian Goths sacked Christian Rome in

410 AD. The Fall continued in the fifth century with subsequent invasions: Christian Vandals sacked the city in 455 with a violence that made their name a household word, and Christian Ostrogoths forced the abdication of the last Roman emperor (also a Christian) in 476.

Amidst all of the turbulence of the times, a great deal of praying was done on both sides. Romans and barbarians prayed to the same god for salvation or victory. Prayer, Ms. Thomas, may provide pragmatic solace to the individual, but it does not steer the direction of history.

More talk about 'moral values' becoming more exhausted

C

barley Harjo: I find it absurd that you fmd "family values" cliche. The phrase is a symbol of morals just as the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom.

The reason we can not pray in schools has nothing to do with trouble in the religious sect, it is

because we are no longer only a Christian state and to offer prayer for each and every religion would either squeeze out education or double the length of the school day.

You make a blast at people with high moral values, but in fact you are making light of those with

opinions other than yours, the same crime you accused them of.

"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" includes protecting the sanctity of the community' s moral face in order to ensure happiness for everyone else.

A reversal of thought?

In response to the letter by "right" in itself requires a "moral Charley Harjo in the Oct. 8 issue judgment," thus implying a of The Vista regarding "family "moral standard" on the part of values." I find it interesting that Mr. Harjo. his views reflect the very He pleads that "our country's mindset that he claims to problems... lie in the fact that no despise. While it is true that one really cares about anyone "family values" has become an except for their own personal ambiguous political cliche, the interests, values and points of use of the terms "morally view." This statement is also a superior" and "undesirables" is "moral judgment." Our country's just as cliche. By sarcastically problems apparently are due to a referring to some as feeling failure of meeting a "moral "morally superior," it seems that ideal." That ideal is Mr. Harjo's Mr. Harjo sees them as the true ideal, reflecting his personal "undesirables of our country." If interests, values and points of this is the case, Mr. Harjo has view. As to why he quotes made a judgment based upon a Christ after previously moral standard which he discrediting Christianity is believes to be right. unknown. After all, is not "Love By stating that "just because thy neighbor as thyself" a Christianity is common doesn't standard of morality in itself? make it right," he again is Hmmm... making a "moral judgment." If As has become "cliche" in our we follow this type of logic, we day and time, Mr. Harjo has to are led to think that because get our country's founding something is uncommon does fathers into the act. make it right, which merely begs Unfortunately, many of our the question. The use of the term founding fathers were

"enlightened" thinkers, which means they relied heavily on human reason. They made "moral decisions." (Read the Declaration of Independence.)

Human reason was the "moral standard" which shaped this country's Constitution.

Apparently, not all of us fit the mold that Mr. Harjo would have us to fit, but that is "freedom of choice" (America's favorite "moral" truth) at work.

While claiming that "what this country needs is some unity and understanding, not preaching and hate-sowing moralizing," his own comments demonstrate much of the latter, and little of the former.

This sounds like a case of "dogmatic open-mindedness."

Everyone MUST think as they wish because I say so. Ain't America great?

Hypocrites should move, writer thinks Webster's New Riverside Dictionary defines hypocrisy as: The feigning of qualities and beliefs that one does not actually possess or hold, esp. a pretense of piety or moral superiority.

It seems that this year's presidential election has brought out the best of these types of people. Here are my problems with such people: they believe, espouse and tout family values, yet who's values are they? Are their's more important than mine? And who appointed them spokespeople?

These are some of my values: I am the mother of an eightyear-old daughter. I love her, I help her with her school work, I teach her about the importance of loving everyone, being good to the planet and all the creatures that are on it. I try to let her know that we are not better than anyone else and we must try daily to be good people.

These are theirs: I have children. I love them, I help them with their school work, I teach them the importance of loving...but loving only those people exactly like us — those people should not be homosexual — or people of a different color, etc. I let my children know of my beliefs, morals and values and make them aware that eventually they must go out, as I do, and try to make other people believe and behave the same as us. I believe in recycling to help the planet because it is trendy, but I have no concept of the strain that the 5.5 billion people on this planet cause daily, yet, out of ignorance, I condemn those who wish to personally control the number of extra mouths they

would burden the filled-tocapacity planet with. I have a dog, and it upsets me that dogs are being put to sleep daily in animal shelters all over the nation, yet it is too expensive to have my dog neutered or spayed and when it has a litter or knocks up the neighbor's dog and I can't get rid of the puppies, I dump them in the country to die, because "they can take care of themselves." I take medicines, but call for all animals involved in medical research to be released because their treatment is inhumane. I make everyone around me aware of my belief in God and raise my children to believe that they are better than everyone else that doesn't share this belief. I wish my children to be the best they can, so long as they behave exactly like me and in the manner that the church dictates.

Who are you people and why, although many of you should know better, must you dictate to those people not like you, your way of life so we must become just like you? I'm sorry to say this, but possessing a belief in God, does not make you better than me, nor my dog, nor the spider on my front porch, nor gay people, nor people of color ... it makes you better than no one or nothing — it just makes you part of a religious sect.

In closing — I do not care at all what you people do so long as what you do does not affect me, just as I have no wish to impose my way of life on you. I do not wish to pray in school and I also do not wish to sit through a prayer in school, whether at a football game, commencement or other

function. I do not wish to have an abortion, nor do I care for women who are three months or more having abortions, yet I would like to have that choice for myself — it affects no one but myself and my spouse or boyfriend — it does not affect the zygote (a fertilized egg or ovum = a diploid cell resulting from the fusion of two haploid gametes. Please look the terms up and understand what they mean and how they are applied in mammalian reproduction.

You make mockeries of yourselves with educated people when you argue against prochoice without a complete understanding of reproductive physiology. And by the way, here's a kicker — look very closely at the fetus when you can actually begin to distinguish parts of it after several months, and you can see the remnants of the tail you used to have before you developed brains and began to think so much of yourselves.)

Please, do as you wish — I am happy for you to do so — but do not expect me to do the same, or impose your views and beliefs on me. If this is what people expect who believe in God do, I can't imagine (even if I could conceive of one) going to a heaven full of people so narrow/closed- minded, unforgiving and unloving of the rest of humankind — it would be hell instead of heaven. If you can't live and let live, as I believe the Bible is supposed to suggest, and as those others of us do, please go form your own state and just keep the rest of us "heathens" out.

Jenni Shackelford UCO student —

Okay, everyone, think about this. In four weeks, we have three choices. That's one more than two weeks ago. Never mind about the issues, the platforms, the past performances.

What if everyone decides to vote for candidate number three, the latest choice, only because there is a possibility he can win?

What if the non-voters decide to vote for him only to see if it's possible to elect someone,

anyone, at the last minute?

Does it excite you? Does it scare you? Does it make you want to go to the polls on November third and cast your vote?

Think about it. There may be enough people in this country who want to try it, to see if it will really work.

What about you?

Cate Redding UCO student —

'Great nation' prospers at humanity's expense As a champion for this "great United States of America," perhaps it is time to remember that before the white man built this nation on "religious principles," a spiritual people lived in harmony with this land, flourishing, content, endlessly renewed. White man came! We saw! We conquered! The skies became filthy, the earth became depleted, creatures became endangered. Our "great nation" prospered at the expense of humanity.

Belief in the bible is not synonymous with spirituality or morality. There was a time when the "civilized" world was governed by Demonology. A time when "moral" men believed if you could withstand torture to death that perhaps you were not possessed by a demon after all.

There was a time when the church was not separate from the state. The result was pompous, cruel atrocity against individuals

who did not behave in the prescribed manner.

This country was founded on freedom. If you wish to pray, I do not wish to stop you. I do not, however, choose to pray with you. Please respect my right to march to my own drummer without persecution. I am a moral individual; I am a spirtival individual. I believe, as did Laotzu, that there are three great treasures: simplicity, patience and compassion. The practice of these principles is neither inherent in nor limited to Christianity.

At the risk of being redundant, I will repeat myself: We all come from the same source, to this source we will all return. In the meanwhile, I share the dream that we can live in peace with respect for one another as human beings.

Nigh pushes bond issue Voters could OK new classroom building

By Tami Watson

Staff Writer Although the University of Central Oklahoma is using portable buildings to accomodate the growing number of students, things could improve if the capital bond issue passes Nov. 3.

The bond issue would give UCO $7.7 million that would go toward building a new math and science building, said University President George Nigh.

Nigh said the bond funds would not cover the cost of the $9 million building, but additional funding could be raised by the university.

"The building is our No. 1 priority," said Nigh. "We decided to take all of the funds designated for UCO and apply them toward the math and science building."

Fagg convicted for oral sex WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court last week left intact an airman's conviction in military court of having oral sex with his girlfriend in private.

Scott P. Fagg was an 18-year-old airman at Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma when in December 1990 he was tried in military court on charges of having sex with a 14-year-old girl and engaging in oral sex with a 16-year-old girl.

Fagg admitted having oral sex many times with his 16-yearold girlfriend, who was considered an adult in the court case. He said their interludes occurred mainly at a private home off the base. The girlfriend reported Fagg to the police after he left her for other relationships, including one with the 14-year-old.

Fagg pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to a badconduct discharge, seven months' confinement and a reduction in rank.

Student victimized on campus

By Heide Brandes

Student Writer A student at the University of Central Oklahoma was the victim of an abduction, attempted rape and aggrevated assault Oct.7 between 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m., UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts said Thursday.

Roberts said the victim was returning to West Hall from work and was entering the southwest door of the residence hall when two black men came from behind and grabbed her.

The victim said one of the men

choked her until she was unconscious.

The victim said when she awoke, she was in a muddy field near the campus. She was then able to escape the abductors.

"She is very skilled in martial arts," Roberts said. "She was able to put her skills to work."

The victim said she ran in a southeast direction to UCO. She went to West Hall and told friends about the incident.

The police were called and the victim was taken to the emergency room for treatment of injuries. Afterward, the UCO police took the victim to the Oklahoma Memorial Rape Crisis

Center.

"This was an attempted rape," Roberts said. "She was lucky."

Roberts said he believes there is no connection between the incident and the Sept. 1 rape of a UCO employee.

"This is different. There was no car scene in this situation," Roberts said. "The last incident involved two white males and a black male. This incident involves two black males."

At the present, the UCO Police Department has no suspects and asks anyone with information to contact the UCO Police at 341-9111, ext. 2850.

Student Writer A crime prevention seminar will be offered at 7:30 p.m., Oct. 14 at Murdaugh Hall by the University of Central Oklahoma Police Department as part of its crime prevention program.

The program will include a film titled "It Could Never Happen To Me" and a presentation about safety and safety tips by UCO Officer Brandon Berryhill.

"We're hoping for a larger turn out," Berryhill said. "This is very important."

Also being discussed are the call boxes available on campus and the Operation Safe Walk program.

The call boxes, a direct radio link to the UCO Police Department, are located on light

poles around campus and are provided for the use of students in need of help.

The Operation Safe Walk program is a service which provides an escort for anyone walking about campus at night.

Berryhill said he hopes students will take advantage of the services.

"We'd like more calls," Berryhill said. "It will eliminate some of the risk of walking

The UCO Police Department developed the program to teach students how to avoid being victims of a crime and how to protect themselves if a crime is committed.

"This is all part of our conscious effort toward crime prevention," said UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts. "It helps to try to prevent a crime instead of dealing with it afterwards."

By Justin Harper Sports Editor When you read over the stat sheet of the Central OklahomaAbilene Christian game the stats pretty much tell the story. UCO outgained ACU in total yardage 475-366, outrushed them by 221 yards 361-120, and had six more first downs than the visitors 21-15.

In fact the Bronchos led in almost every category. Unfortunately that includes turnovers. UCO turned the ball over eight times and found themselves on the short end of a 35-31 score as Abilene Christian won for the second time this season and the second-time in a row over the Bronchos.

UCO jumped out to a 10-0 lead when Tyrone Jones burst through the ACU defense for a 51 yard touchdown run early in the first quarter, and Lee Stamper added a 25 yard field goal at the beginning of the second quarter.

Abilene then answered when back-up QB Lance Landry hit receiver Darius Jones who made a spectacular finger-tip catch for a 39 yard touchdown.

UCO extended it's lead when reserve tailback Keith Martin ran for a five yard 'touchdown in the second quarter. However, the Wildcats hung tough and produced a scoring drive of their own, which culminated in a Landry four-yard '1D strike to Rickie Harris. The Bronchos went into the locker room with a 17-14 lead.

UCO came out for the secondhalf and promptly drove down the field, Jones again found pay-dirt on a one-yard run, and the Bronchos looked to take control with a 24-14 lead.

But, as had been the case all game, the Wildcats refused to wilt.

ACU moved the ball to the UCO 11 yard line and Harris ran it in from there to move back into striking distance at 24-21.

The following possesion could have been the game-turner if there was one. The Bronchos, looking to build-up their lead in the see saw battle, committed their worst faux pas of the game. Broncho QB Mark Reiland fired a pass that was intercepted by ACU lineman Taggart Williams, who then proceeded to loaf 34 yards into the end zone, and just like that the Wildcats were ahead by a count of 28-24.

The wild third quarter would not end there though. Back came UCO to once again take the lead when flanker Glenn Starks bolted for a 36 yard touchdown on a reverse.

The fourth quarter brought an end to the frantic scoring, when both defenses tightened and traded possessions. About mid-way through the fourth quarter the

Bronchos had the ball and were protecting their 31-28 lead when Martin coughed-up the football.

Abilene did not waste their opportunity to take back the lead.

Harris once again ran the ball for a touchdown, his third of the evening, this one from seven yards out.

The Bronchos had 8:09 left on the clock to try and put more points on the board. However, the offense couldn't get much going, the

Bronchos most serious threat came when UCO reached the ACU 26 yard line. But the Abilene defense stopped the drive when Reiland threw his fifth interception of the game.

One of the more positive things about the mistake-riddled contest was Jones. The Wagoner junior rushed for a career-high 215 yards on 33 carries. Jones now has 746 yards rushing on the year.

UCO flanker Glenn Starks outruns two Abilene Christian players on his way to a 36 yard touchdown jaunt. The Bronchos fell to ACU 35-31 and are now 4-2 for the season.

By Bill Kramer Guest Writer It's been a long road back for Central Oklahoma defensive back Mart Leming, but his remarkable return from a devastating knee injury is complete.

The fifth-year cornerback from Sulphur had enjoyed a standout junior year in 1990 and was a pre-season All-American last year when he went down in the first half of the 1991 season-opener with a torn anterior cmciate ligament in his right knee.

Leming was lost for the year, but college football wasn't through with this 5-10, 172 pounder. A determined Leming vowed to return in 1992, was granted a medical hardship by the NCAA and has come back with a vengeance this season.

"I went through a period of thinking whether or not it was worth it, going through all the rehab and then maybe not being back at full speed," Leming said. "But I realized I had to try and come back after traveling with the team last year on road trips.

"You don't know how hard it is to see your team down and not be able to do anything about it. So, I worked hard, and it seems to be paying off."

Indeed it has, for both Leming and the Bronchos.

The undisputed leader of a rugged UCO defense, Leming ranks second in NCAA Division II with six interceptions and has already been named Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Week twice. He was named National Defensive Player of the Week by Football Gazette and USA Today after intercepting three passes in a 14-0 UCO victory over Cal State-Northridge.

Leming's return to form has helped spark the Bronchos to a 4-1 start as they look to contend for the league title this year.

Leming's return from injury was indicative of his entire college football career. "Quit" is not a part of his vocabulary.

Despite earning All-State accolades as a prep senior for Class 3A Sulpher, Leming was overlooked by college scouts. UCO defensive secondary coach Chuck Bailey recruited a teammate of Leming's and was persuaded to take a look at Leming as well.

"I remember he told me that he couldn't give me any money, but if I wanted to walk on, I would be given a fair shake at making the team," Leming said. "And that's exactly what happened."

Leming was told, however, that he would be a punter. He never took a single deep snap. Instead, Leming moved from fourth-string free safety to the starting lineup his sophomore year and has been a key to UCO's growing reputation for outstanding defensive teams.

Leming's road to success has had its share of bumps and curves, but he's proving that perseverence overcomes them all.

A coach's voice Sportscaster teaches from experience; Love for broadcasting led to classroom

By Tami Watson Staff Writer

•

Walking by Jerry Park's sportscasting class, one might mistake it for an aerobics class.

"People walk by my class and say they hear me yelling. I'm just very animated," said Park.

Park has been teaching at the University of Central Oklahoma off and on for the past seven years as an adjunct.

"Dr. Jack Deskin called me after a teacher retired and asked me to come teach," said Park.

The Channel 5 Sports Director offers his students more than just textbook knowledge. He teaches from experience.

Park first became interested in broadcasting as a business major at Texas Christian University.

"My roommate was a broadcasting major, and I went with him to the campus radio station one day," said Park. "I instantly fell in love with all of the dials and machines. It was all so exciting."

Park soon changed his major to broadcasting and continued to work his way through school as a part-time disc jockey at a Ft. Worth radio station.

"One day I went in to work and the other disc jockey told

me he was leaving, and it had been nice working with me," said Park. "He said he was going to New York to try to make it as a stand-up comedian. His name was George Carlin."

After a period of time in the Army, Park decided he didn't want to go into broadcasting anymore.

"After I got out of the Army, I went to work as a sales representative for Texaco. It was something I could do for the rest of my life," said Park.

His job with Texaco took him to Lubbock, Texas where he decided to get back into the field.

Park landed a job with a small AM/FM/T.V. station.

"Duncan Ellison was the news director there. He gave me the ability to get back into the business and the opportunity to learn from the best," said Park.

After holding jobs at several other television stations in Texas, his career finally brought him to Oklahoma City in 1974.

"I always loved sports," said Park. "I came to Oklahoma City to be my own Sports Director."

Although he loves his job, Park says it isn't alway easy.

"The job is very stressful, it's hard to meet the daily deadlines."

The job is also hard on the family. Divorce rates in the business are very high, said Park.

"It takes a very special person to be married to someone in this business. After 28 years, my wife and I are still married," he said.

Park says competition is high among other stations, but the difference between him and other sportscasters is himself.

"People choose to watch me because they like my personality and they like my sportscasts," he said. "I'm friends with the other sportscasters in the area. I respect them and they respect me. But when we are covering a game or event, I do my best because I know they are doing their best too."

Homecoming queen a little different

By Michele Soh Staff Writer For the first time in almost 100 years, the University of Central Oklahoma elected an international student for homecoming queen.

Mandy Lim, a Malaysian from the state of Perak, has only been in the U.S.A. for one year.

With her face scrubbed clean of make-up, she shone with happiness when she talked about her win. On campus, she has a smile for the people she meets.

"It is wonderful," that an international has been named, said Dr. Deanna Land, associate dean of students. She said this shows that internationals are a vital part of the student body, and each year they are more active and hold positions of leadership on campus.

Dr. Ron Paddack, director of international student services, said that Lira's win of a campuswide contest, showed internationals are an integral part of the college.

The Student Government Association has received only positive feedback from students.

Joacquin Stevens, president of SGA, said he was impressed that students were open-minded, looking beyond color and nationality.

"We are very proud of Mandy," said the president of the Malaysian Student Association, Moong Thing Lor. Lim was the third candidate sponsored by MSA. Over the years, there have been other internationals who were candidates for homecoming queen, said Land, but none have won Lim is an active member of MSA, the Wesley Foundation and many other clubs at UCO; she is also on the Dean's Honor Roll. Lor said Lim is popular among their members and they A

were the ones who suggested Lim as a candidate. An acconting major, Lim has been studying in UCO for a year.

Lim, escorted by fellow Malaysian Lih Ping Lim, said for the first few seconds she was stunned when she heard her name announced over the loudspeaker. Then, she was overcome by emotion, hardly believing she had won.

Lim believed that teamwork played a vital role in her campaign.

A total of 1,172 students voted for homecoming queen, said Land, sponsor for the Association of Women Students

who organized the elections. The total student population of UCO is 15,839.

Although Lim said she feels the pressures of being the first international to be homecoming queen, she sees her reign as a learning experience, learning about Americans and other cultures.

She said she now finds it easier to take the first step to talk to Americans; they are friendly when approached.

Through her experiences as homecoming queen, she hopes to be more extroverted, more mature and increase her circle of friends. She encourages

internationals to come forward and participate in UCO campus activities and not just exist as a separate group.

"Lim is a great representative of her country and all internationals," said Paddack.

She will represent the school in various events like dinners and alumini gatherings, said Land. The actual number of activities a homecoming queen attends varies from year to year.

"To celebrate her winning, we are planning a party where the whole school is invited," said Lor. The celebration will be at 8 p.m., Oct. 16 in the Broncho Corral.

By Lisa Craddock Student Writer

Cash awards were made to competing University of Central Oklahoma organizations which participated in homecoming activities and in Laff Olympics, a series of games and competitions.

The University Center Activities Board awarded the Sigma Tau Gamma/ Sigma Kappa team the grand prize, $500, with their points totaling 775.

The second place $100 winner was Alpha Tau Omega fraternity with 650 points. Ten other organizations participated in the games such as elimination volleyball, the obstacle course, the wet sweatshirt relay, the egg toss, the pumpkin push, the chain relays, the book bag relays, etch-a-sketch, cheer competition and the 200 point pyramid game.

UCAB also sponsored the banner competition and awarded $200 to the UCO Porn Pon squad for their banner reflecting the school's spirit and the school's colors, said Kristy Blackwood, director of University Center Activities.

Seven other clubs participated.

The UCO Student Activities Office sponsored a spirit display competition and awarded $500 to the Sigma Tau Gamma/ Sigma Kappa team and it awarded $200 to the UCO Biology Club. Six other clubs entered the display competition.

Each club was reimbursed up to $120 for the cost of making the display by the Student Activities Office, said Susan Thompson, director of Student Activities.

The Campus Leader Scholarship will be awarded to 10 University of Central Oklahoma students who are involved on UCO 's campus, who complete the application and meet the criteria.

The scholarship is a full tuition waiver for the spring and fall semester and the deadline is Nov. 1. Students applying for the schoalrship must be active in campus clubs and organizations, must have a cumulative 3.0 grade point average, must have earned a minimum of 20 credit hours and must be a full-time Oklahoma undergraduate.

"The scholarship is only two years old and was designed to recognize students that are currently working to enhance the campus through planning programs in UCO organizations," said Susan Thompson, director of Student Activites.

All applicants which meet the requirements will be considered by the scholarship selection committee, which will review the applications and recommend the top applicants to the interviewing committee.

Only students who advance to the interviewing process will be considered for the scholarships, said Thompson.

All recipients will become automatic members of the UCO President's Leadership Council, which is also composed of recipients of the UCO President's Leadership Scholarship.

A yen for a foreign language?

Then consider the University of Central Oklahoma's new language course for next semester.

The foreign language department of the Liberal Arts College will be starting a new language class in spring — Japanese.

Chairperson of the department, assistant professor Ann Phillips, said the schedule has just been approved by the Dean's Office.

Beginning Japanese Conversation, a three credit hour course with no prerequisites will be taught by a native Japanese.

Phillips said he is experienced with teaching languages.

"It was time for a second language from Asia," said Phillips. She added that the United States has so many relations with Japan, knowing the Japanese language will help build closer ties.

"All manner of people from the Edmond community and Oklahoma City" will be likely to take the class, said Phillips.

People who are interested in traveling to Japan and who plan to do business with the Japanese should invest in the course, she said.

The foreign language department also conducts Chinese language classes.

These classes were introduced about seven years ago as suggested by the former president of UCO, Dr. Bill Lillard.

Halloween 'horror' at the picture show Re-live the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" at midnight showings

By Kathy Jo Karr

Entertainment Editor

Transvestites tricking and treating Sweet transvestites who sing and wear fishnet! Wicked aliens posing as domestics! Timewarping conventionalists! The Republican National Convention, you ask? No, just a few of the many singin' and dancin' characters in the biggest cult film of all time, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

A film which has truly become a classic in the 17 years since its release, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," is an onslaught of tongue-in-cheek humor and confused sexual

identity. The film experiences a revival every Halloween as "Rocky" groupies make the trek to theaters to do "The Time Warp."

"Rocky" made its film debut in 1975, but was quickly swept under the carpet by 20th Century Fox and theater owners who just didn't get it.

But after a few movie theaters decided to present the film on weekend midnight showings, a few "Rocky" fanatics decided to make the "Rocky" experience a weekly ritual.

The plot centers around Brad and Janet (portrayed ever-sonerdily by Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon), a newly engaged and hopelessly naive couple who decide to make a late-night journey to visit a beloved teacher.

On the way, a blown tire forces our fearless couple to take

Lack of leads puts rape case on back burner

SPECIAL NOTICES

The University of Central Oklahoma Police Department has put the Sept. 1 rape of a UCO Physical Plant employee on the back burner due to lack of leads, but intends to keep the case open.

"Because of the seriousness of the charge, the case will remain open, " Roberts said. "There is enough evidence available for the case, but no leads."

According to the victim, the alleged rape occurred on the morning of Sept. 1 . She stated that she was walking to the university when three men, two white and one black, jumped out of a blue four-door Ford sedan and abducted her near the corner of Thatcher and Washington.

She was supposedly taken to a ball field north of UCO and raped.

The woman said she was then taken to an unknown location north of the UCO campus and put in the trunk for 18 hours before being released.

"If any new evidence is presented, " Roberts said, "we will certainly look into it."

The Resident Hall Association (RHA) of the University of Central Oklahoma is conducting a survey of students concerning visitation hours in the residence halls and the possibility of coed dormitories.

Kristi Blackwood, RHA advisor, said if a majority of students decide in favor of the changes then the issue will be sent to the administration for consideration.

"We're one of the few universities that doesn't have coed dorms," Blackwood said. "I think this is a good idea. It's time to see what students want."
