Hill comes home NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Professor Anita Hill looked forward to returning to her law classes this week while Clarence Thomas waited in Washington to see how the Senate would vote on his Supreme Court nomination. "What has sustained me through all of this has been knowing that I could return home, back to my way of life, back to you," Hill said at a news conference Monday. "Words simply cannot express the kind of anguish that I have experienced over the past several days." Hill said her goal is to get back to her normal routine.

Future of Foxx's series in question NEW YORK (AP) — The death of comedian Redd Foxx, star of CBS' "Royal Family," puts tine future of that Wednesday night sitcom in doubt. On Monday, CBS spokesman Michael Silver said "Royal Family" would not air on Wednesday. Instead, CBS will air two episodes of "Te,ech," which follows it on the schedule "Royal Family" will return Oct. 30, Silver said. Whether the show will be reogranized around co-star Della Reese remains unanswered.

Unemployed man finds $55,000 cash OICEMAH, Okla. (AP) — An unemployed man who found $55,00 in cash and returned the funds to their owners says the reward was lousy but he's pleased with himself. George Ferris, 21, said he saw Freeland Unah's name inside the box and decided to return it. He said the $100 thank you was "kind of lousy, especially when you're dead broke and out of job." Ferris was on his way to check on a job application at a clothing plant Friday when he saw a green tacklelike box on the side of the road. "My only regret was that I could really use the money," said Ferris. "But I had to turn it in. That's just the way I was raised."

Students, faculty reflect on old experiences, new attitudes By Penny Owen

Staff Writer Hypersensitivity by men about their behavior toward women may be the lasting result arising out of last week's Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings, said two University of Central Oklahoma professors. "I think we're going to see sexism come out of it," said sociology professor Dr. Lewis Irving, who fears that the general public will perceive sexual harassment as something men do to women rather than the full variety of sexual harassment possibilities. Beyond the standard policy of men harassing women, there are incidents of women harassing men, members of the same gender harassing each other and even persons being harassed because of their marital status, Irving said. But it was the alleged sexual harassment of a man against a woman which maintained the limelight for about 27 million viewers last week during the Hill-Thomas hearings. Some men are confused about the boundaries and that angers them, said oral communications professor, Dr. Majorie McGregor.

"Women are drawing new battle lines now and men don't know where they are yet," McGregor said. Another confusing item for many Americans is the exact definition of sexual harassment. McGregor said that in some instances, flirting in a business situation can be considered sexual harassment. The key is knowing when it is offensive to the other party. McGregor said she experienced a mild form of sexual harassment about 30 years ago by her boss, who repeatedly complimented her inappropriately. Although she did not believe he was aware of the offensive nature of his comments, she found the situation uncomfortable. Not having any legal recourse back then, McGregor said she tolerated it until another job opportunity came along. Her decision to change jobs was not solely influenced by her bosses' unwanted comments, but she said his behavior was a factor. Today there is legal recourse under Title VII of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), but the complaint must be filed with the EEOC within 180 days after the alleged incident occurred for action to be taken. UCO also has a sexual harassment policy

which covers several possible relationships, including those Irving said are often overlooked, such as marital status and same gender harassment. Under the policy, the victim is told first to ask the person causing the harassment to stop. If that fails, then a written complaint should be submitted to UCO Vice-President Joyce Mounce, who will then prompt an investigation. Often, however, the situation can be resolved by demanding that it stop, said Irving, who used that solution when dealing with the several serious sexual advances made toward him in the past. "I've never really had to go aggressively past that point," he said. It appears that most people are at least aware of somebody having been sexually harassed, if not having experienced it themselves.

KCSC can break new ground he sweet strains of Bach and Beethoven greet callers every time they are put on hold when they dial the University of Central Oklahoma campus. Regrettably, this is the only time many people hear UCO's radio station, KCSC. KCSC has a format of classical music, played 24 hours a day. Is this programming really serving the student population of this university? It is true that KCSC is the only classical station in the metro area, and certainly there are classical music buffs that tune into the station on a regular basis. But it's safe to say that most UCO students don't cruise with Tchaikovsky on the boom box. KBLZ, UCO's cable radio station, offers a progressive alternative, but is only available through a special cable hook-up. It is not necessary to completely obliterate KCSC's present format. A combination of many music formats, ranging from country, rap, jazz, blues, and metal with talk show and news formats would be welcome. There are so many exciting options that a station stuck in the groove of a classical format seems a waste of time. Also, what about local music? There are so many great local bands with self-financed and self-produced C.D.'s that never get any kind of radio play. Local talent shouldn't be forced to seek out the musical refuges of Seattle, Atlanta, Nashville, New York and L.A. Local bands would give up their Ernie Ball guitar strings to get any kind of publicity, and it would be great for students to know who is playing what type of music, and where they can be seen. Local commercial radio stations already have ground their formats into the dust. KJ103 has the endless repetition of top 40, KRXO has a death-grip on late '60s and '70s guitar rock, the country stations have their own triedand-true playlists, and the easy-listening and adult contemporary stations don't even bear mentioning. They use the excuse that untried music doesn't draw listeners, but listeners can't tell what they want if they don't have the opportunity to hear it. The public is not composed of idiots, and doesn't need to be dictated to. Give them a chance, and their open-mindedness may be surprising. This is the option that KCSC has open to them—the opportunity to expose a whole university of potential listeners to new, untried formats. Yes, there is the possibility for failure, but KCSC can be used to draw the university population closer together by giving students what they want and it can be pushed to the forefront of cutting-edge college radio in Oklahoma.

SGA is overworked, underpaid; pleads for helping hands

wish to express my thanks for your bringing to light a very important characteristic that is prevalent on this campus— the symptom of apathy. I write "symptom" because the apathy is simply a sign of the crux of the problem—selfishness and poverty. The poverty can be expressed as a lack of an annual advertising budget for the Student Government Association. The SGA is given the responsibility for putting on not only SGA elections but also for purchasing and promoting entertainment for the student body each year. The SGA's '91-92 budget is somewhat disproportionate in that most of it must be used to cover the costs of student activities, which leaves little for the publicity of such things as elections. Which brings us to the selfishness. Only four SGA members receive any form of monetary compensation for the time they put into SGA. It is solely in the form of a partial tuition waiver and is distributed as follows: President - 70% Vice-President - 60% Speaker of the Senate - 50% Historian - 40% No one else receives a dime. All senators are required to be present at all general meetings from 12:40 to 2:30 every Monday, must attend committee meetings from 12:40 to 2:30 Wednesdays and Fridays, are required to attend one-half of all SGA-sponsored student activities, and serve one office hour a week. These are the requirements. In addition, all senators also attend classes, complete homework, and belong to

their place of worship and other campus organizations. Most of them also work part-time and are making their way through college on some type of financial aid— loans, grants, or scholarships which have to be worked for pretty hard. With all this, you would think no one had time to do anything else, right? Wrong! The more dedicated senators, and there are only a handful of them, find the time to do a lot more. They do not only attend all the meetings, they also research and write resolutions that they hope will pass the Senate, be signed by the SGA President, be signed by the President of UCO, and actually be implemented the following year with some degree of success. They do not only attend SGA-sponsored activities (and find time to sit at the polls), they actually do the work of finding the acts, setting them up, scheduling with the University, getting them here, publicizing their coming presence, making sure they fmd the place, setting up the equipment, encouraging students to attend, greeting students at the door, staying for the performance, striking the set, cleaning up, taking down the advertising all over campus (it's a long walk, I assure you), and doing the same thing for the next event which is only two weeks away—all of this with a LIMITED number of HANDS and with a LIMITED influx of MONEY. Therefore, at next Monday's meeting at 12:40, a resolution will be presented to the Senate which, if passed, will establish a special merit award called the Students Assisting Students Award (SASA).

This award (not worth a dime), if established, would be given to any student who, regardless of poverty or selfishness, voluntarily gives his or her time to helping the SGA to put on and publicize all of their events for one full year. Senators and other SGA officers would not be eligible. If you think this is a good idea, please drop us a line of support (via postcard) to: SGA in re SASA 100 N. University Drive Box 112 Edmond, OK 73034. If you do not think this is a good idea, please write up a detailed alternative and submit it to the same address. Any and all students may attend the Monday 12:40 Senate meetings at University Center, 4th Floor, Senate Room. As for the paper, if you would see fit to perform a much needed public service by printing all election poll times and whereabouts, I'm sure this invaluable service would be most sincerely appreciated by all concerned students of UCO. As for the editor, I expect you to be SGA's first SASA volunteer, but, of course, you're as busy as the rest of us. As for the students, make the time, get involved, and learn to read bulletin boards. As for me, I remain

Steven Pratt Question, 'Is He or She a Real Indian? "The aspect of a permanent element of all culture is language. There are over 150 definitions of culture and language is in all of them," Pratt said. Language becomes the way members of a particular group identify each other. It becomes essential in a culture to know who

the members are. The chapters get into usage and not symbiotics, he said. "One of the problems among Indians is what constitutes an American Indian. The government has one definition and there are other definitions," Pratt said. Pratt interviewed Indian people from all tribes during his travels in New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma. He said the information is generalizable to all contact Indians, or Indians who live in urban areas as opposed to reservations. During his research he worked in several categories such as public speaking, uses of humor, uses of silence as a communicative code and notions of obligations and responsibilities. The award will be presented to Pratt in Atlanta next month. V

Student appears on '48 Hours' By Patricia Mahir

Student Writer INV

Case advocate for the YWCA Crisis Intervention Center, Laurel (Tina) Mitchell, appeared recently on the television show 48 Hours to address domestic violence. Mitchell, a student at the University of Central Oklahoma, is working on a degree in psychology. She answers the 24 hour crisis hot line at the YMCA and holds domestic violence education groups at the women's shelter. "We get phone calls as far away as New Jersey dealing with one family member abusing another and other abuse-related problems," Mitchell said. "We don't give advice, we give choices." Abusive behavior includes hitting, pushing, slapping, namecalling, intimidation, threats, and other actions used to control the behavior of someone else. Mitchell said the violence cycle has three phases. The first is "tension building" in which the victim will placate the partner to keep things calm. It's always something external that provokes violence. For example: getting a traffic ticket, a bad day at work or stress. The second phase is "acute battery" either by violent temper or silent scorn including physical, emotional, or spiritual abuse. An example would be a perversion of the Biblical reference, wife submit yourself to your husband, or that women are not supposed to

get a divorce. This is spiritual abuse because it is not giving the victim free choice to find the God of their own understarxling, Mitchell said. "Honeymoon" is the third phase of abuse, which is a calm and loving period, welcomed by both parties, though not productive. For example, the abusive partner says I'm sorry, I promise I'll never do it again, I won't drink again, I won't go out. "The cycle excalates, it's not going to get better without help," Mitchell said. "The inevitable will occur: one day it (the abuse) will go too far. In group therapy one advocate acts as a moderator for a ten minute time period while clients deal with expressing their anger. Some examples in therapy are learning to separate the behavior of the abuser from the person, teaching them not to say the words they can't erase and learning not to take anger out on themselves. "I want the women in the groups to gain control of their lives, and increase their selfesteem, to learn to deal with anger and stress," Mitchell said. "Healthy anger is doing something positive; writing or sharing with someone, not repressing anger."

Drugs are a factor in 85 percent of all abuse cases. Even the most successful men can be abusive, but abusive behavior is learned and can be unlearned, she said. Usually, abused women are intelligent, but caught in the violence cycle and brainwashed, Mitchell said. They can regress to a childlike state of learned helplessness. They want attention and can become over-dependent on the system and the advocate. "The judicial system needs to know that emotional and sexual battery is, in fact, worse than physical battery," Mitchell said. "As far as the Oklahoma City court system goes, husbands can't rape their own wife." Mitchell recommends support groups. "Learn you aren't the only women going through this pain." October is declared "Domestic Violence" month by Gov. David Walters and Mayor Ron Norrick of Oklahoma City. Women eighteen and older meet every Wed. 6:30 p.m. at YWCA. Battered women can call 24 hour at (405) 949-1866 for a safe place to go and for someone to talk to. They can stay in the shelter for up to 60 days and there is legal advice available. V

Nursing school adds qualified professor to staff Career decision is 'child's play' for Oklahoma University graduate By Melissa Travers Student Writer A University of Central Oklahoma Department of Nursing sticker decorates the skinny window beside an office door containing a single poster. Confetti-like squiggles in pastel colors surround three hearts enclosed in squares and the words, "Nursing: A commitment to caring." Above the poster, a nameplate tells the office's occupant: Karen E. Corff. The simple decorations contrast sharply with neighboring doors cluttered with posters and scraps of paper, yet that simplicity reflects the character of this new addition to the UCO nursing staff. Clad in a white lab jacket with a blue nametag pinned on the left, the petite brunette smiles brightly and gestures with her hands as she speaks. Her big grey eyes, containing just a hint of green, light up with a spark of interest and curiosity as she discusses the major interest in her life: taking care of children. As Corff warms to her topic, her eyes stray to a black filing cabinet beside her desk. A glass jar of Jolly Ranchers occupies the top of the cabinet, along with a gold clock, a silver bell, and photo graphs of family members. Her gaze, however, comes to rest upon several pictures stuck to the cabinet's side. Her white chair squeaks as she rises and takes a ballpoint pen from behind her ear to point out a picture of a man and wife holding a tiny child. Corff, who worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children's Hospital of Oklahoma from 1988 until 1991, cared for the child for five months after its birth before the parents were able to take her home. Her voice quivers for a brief moment as she recalls the event. "It was tough and she was never going to be a normal child, but they could love her and she would at least grow to her full potential. She didn't live but about a year, but that was a real special year for her," Corff says. Corff, who earned her Master of Science degree in nursing from the University of Oklahoma earlier this year, says she made her decision to work with children before -

she completed her undergraduate work at OU in 1972. After graduating, she began working in the adolescent unit at Oklahoma Children's Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City, but the following year, she and her husband Bob moved to California when he was accepted to graduate school at Stanford University Medical School. She worked in the infant and toddler unit at Stanford for a short time, but quit in order to begin and raise a family. After returning to Oklahoma in 1983, Corff held various nursing positions until 1988, when she began work at Children's Hospital of Oklahoma. Her job there as a clinical specialist in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit included tasks such as coordinating staff/parent relations and education, developing special projects and acting as a "change agent" for the staff.

g g

Nursing has been seen fora long time as a kind of `hand-maiden' to the doctor, but it has a lot to offer side-by-side with medicine -Karen Corff Nursing instructor

"My biggest problem after graduation was which job to take— you can do so many things with a master's in nursing. You can be an administrator, you can stay in the clinical area, you can do research." Or you can teach. Corff decided to apply for the teaching position at UCO for personal rather than professional reasons—she wanted to spend more time with her husband and their three sons, Justin, 16, Brian, 14, and Eric, 11. "I wanted the flexibility of time and I had always felt that I would enjoy teaching," she says. "A large part of my other job was teaching; it was teaching staff, it was teaching parents. Sometimes that was very challenging, especially when the parent was 13 and unwed and on drugs or something and they had a sick child." Corff's ties to her own children are strong and her love for them is apparent as she looks at a large, framed watercolor hanging over her desk. "This picture is of my boys when they were babies," she says, a look of wistful remembrance stealing across her face. "I took a picture of them walking through the woods and a friend of mine who's an artist took that picture and drew this." In the picture, three small boys file through a forest of tall, threatening trees, seeming to signify a much larger theme—that of rising to face new challenges.

Karen E. Corff

Corff has had to adapt to meet the challenges of her new job. "I now need to know a little bit about a very large area. Before, working in an intensive care unit with neonates, I needed to know a whole lot about a little tiny bit. I've had a readjust into more of a generalist instead of a specialist." . One of Corff's main objectives in her new position is to instill in her students a feeling of excitement for the field of nursing, which she says is constantly gaining respect in professionalism. "Nursing has been seen for a long time as a kind of "handmaiden" to the doctor, but it has a lot to offer side-by-side with medicine," she says, with an air of de-

termination. "It's time for nurses to act professional, to be professional, and to pursue research to progress this profession as more than just the doctor's righthand man. It's going to take a long time." "One of the most important things I can give to my students is an excitement for what they can do in nursing—an excitement that they can make a difference in other peoples' lives," she says. "If I can instill in them the importance of that other person being a human being and somebody's dad or morn or child, then I think that I've done a good job."

History prof tells of Russian college By Marcia Benedict •

Staff Writer Students who were once taught courses in communism and atheism in Soviet colleges and universities will now have a greater sense of academic freedom since the failed coup attempt in August prompted the beginning of the end of communist authority. "Before the coup attempt, a loss of academic freedom existed. They were taught with the expectations that they would work for society and politics and nothing else," said Dr. Jere Roberson, a University of Central Oklahoma professor of history and geography. Roberson said he believes the Russian universities will struggle with the transition from the old socialist school of thought to a new ideology. "In the past, it was an attempt to politicize and socialize students under the political regime. Professors could not stray from the prescribed curriculum, so the big thing now will be the academic freedom in the institutions," he said. In addition to curriculum restraints, students in Russian universities were not free to conduct

research experiments before the coup attempt, Roberson said. "It will be difficult to get the institutions to leave intellectual pursuits free," he said. Roberson said Soviet universities have not differed dramatically from American universities in some areas. In Moscow, students leave classes for one month to help harvest potatoes. At the University of Georgia, students also work in the fields for a short period of time. "It teaches the elite how a common man works and gives the students a purpose for their knowledge," he said. Roberson said school officials in the Russian education system select students strictly on the basis of academic superiority and political acceptibility. "Education will continue to be for relatively few, but the political restrictions should loosen up. A student can no more attend Moscow University now, than a student here can go to Harvard or Yale," he said. Roberson said in the near future the schools would cease to em phasize politics. "Soon, they'll become as complacent as American students," he s aid. V

Five candidates compete for homecoming honors The 1991 homecoming queen will be selected by a schoolwide election and polling areas will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at University Center. Here's a look at the candidates.

I have a lot of pride in the university and I've always supported hot only the athletic events but also other events the school holds.

I've shown my outstanding accomplishments and have already spoken on recruitment to students to attend UCO. Jenny Parton

Jennifer Davis

<< It will also help people see that anyone can run for homecoming queen or any other office. Kristy Blackwood

Kristy Blackwood, a senior marketing major, is currently reporter for the Ad Club. She is also active with the Baptist Student Union, President's Leader Council, and the Kappa Tau Alpha National Journalism Society. Blackwood was awarded the Outstanding 1991 Advertising Student and the Outstanding 1990 President Leader Council Woman. She is also president of Murdaugh Hall. Blackwood said electing someone who is on campus alot will help support campus activities. "It will also help people see that anyone can run for homecoming queen or any other office; the key is getting involved and getting to know people."

Jennifer Davis, a Senior and an Elementary Education major, is involved with the Student Oklahoma Education Association, the Panhellenic Association, the Association of Women Students and Sigma Kappa sorority. She is vice president for Kappa Delta Pi (an honor society) and is a member of the High School College Relations Board.

FASA prepares activities for 'Year of the Indian' By Barbara Dewailley

Staff Writer

With Gov. David Walters proclaiming 1992 as the Year of the Indian, the First American Student Association at the University of Central Oklahoma decided to celebrate the honor with positive activties. FASA plans to have one of the largest powwows in their history during Indian Heritage Week March 23-28 in conjunction with this. "During Indian Heritage Week we are planning an Indian Education seminar that will focus on what we feel are the hot topics affecting Native Americans today. They are soverignty, religion and verification," Shon-Dae Rahman, FASA president, said. Rahman said tribal soverignty or self-government is an issue Sen. Kelley Haney may want to talk about on campus. "Tribal laws, how do they correlate with civil laws? This is something Indian people want to address, " Rahman said. Terry White, FASA vice president., said he would like to see more Indian students participate in Indian Heritage Week.

They also want to have an exceptionally large powwow and perhaps some special workshops. Oklahoma has named 1992 the Year of the Indian to differentiate itself from the rest of the country as it celebrates the 500th anniversary of Columbus arriving in the new world. Gov. David Walters said it is a good oportunity to point out the uniqueness of the state's Indian history and culture and the need to preserve it. Wilma Mankiller, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, said the arrival of Columbus brought a period of incredible devastation for native people throughout this continent. "We need to focus on the fact that a great deal was already here before Columbus arrived and we need to make sure everybody in this country knows that, going into the Quincentennial," Mankiller said. She said the Year of the Indian can be used to educate and dispell some misconceptions about American Indians. "Oklahoma's proclamation will give schools the chance to do something with Indian History and talk about tribes in their area," Mankiller said. V

I feel I meet these standards. I hope to be the next UCO homecoming queen. Lisa Goodwin Lisa Goodwin's major is Elementary Education. She is a sophomore who is active in Alpha Lambda Delta, the Hall Council, Resident Hall Association and Toastmasters. Goodwin is the director of public relations for the Student Government Association and is on the President's Honor Roll.. Goodwin feels a homecoming queen should be a person who is active in a variety of different campus and outside organizations; someone who is a good role model. "I feel I meet these standards. I hope to be the next UCO homecoming queen."

Jenny Parton, a marketing major and senior, is active in the Delta Zeta sorority, the Association of Women Students and the UCO Collegiate DECA. She is the secretary for the President's Club, president for the Panhellenic Council and Whiterose sweatheart for Sigma Tau Gamma. Parton was UCO's Outstanding Greek Woman for 1990 and is active in intramural sports. Parton feels she is the best candidate to represent UCO. "I've shown my outstanding accomplishments and have already spoken on recruitment to students to attend UCO."

This whole thing is very overwhelming and exciting. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Joanne Wong

Joanne Wong, a junior majoring in Applied Piano, is involved in the Malaysian Student Association, the Association for Women Students, and is on the Dean's honor roll. She enjoys travelling, dancing and listening to music. Wong said she hasn't really thought about actually being homecoming queen. She was excited just to be selected as one of the finalist.

Arizona profs pessimistically await 1 the outcome of Biosphere II project

By Marcia Benedict

Staff Writer

•

The earth's atmosphere has been recreated inside 2.75 steel and glass-enclosed acres in Arizona. The project, composed of an authentic desert, rain forest, savanna, ocean and farm, is Biosphere II. Dr. William Radke, a University of Central Oklahoma biology professor, recently visited the University of Arizona while on sabbatical leave. Although Radke's research did not pertain to Biosphere II, he said professors at the Arizona university who played a part in the development of the $150 million project were "pessimistic" about its outcome. "The project was not proposed by any well-known ecologist and it's just so complex, I think it would be hard for it to work," Radke said.

Approximately 75 students, professors and economists gathered Oct. 6 in the Council Room of the University Center to hear Nobel Prize recipient, James Buchanan, tell how he developed the economic theory of public choice. Buchanan said an interest in how government spending decisions are made led him to investigate the theory of public choice economics. "Public choice economics provides an intellectual substructure for why, what the general public observes, happens," he said. Public Choice Theory explains how government officials make decisions that affect the nation's economy, he said. "It (the theory) has entered

the university curriculum, more or less as a standard wisdom in economics, but it has hit harder in political science courses," Buchanan said. Buchanan, who currently serves as the advisory general director for the study of public choice at George Mason University, said a Swedish economist inspired him to create the economic theory. "This economist and the period of the 60's had a great impact on my thinking and development of this subdiscipline," he said. Buchanan said current world events have encouraged his theory to be emphasized in more basic economic courses. "It's difficult to recognize, but public choice economics is shaping the public and private decision making world," he said. V

Of course, we wanted first place, but with such a big book we were glad to get the Medalist Award," said Taylor. The Bronze Book recently cut its individual student photograph section, due to a lack of student interest. Out of about 14,000 students, only 400 students had invidual pictures taken last year.

Punter 'breezes' to 40.6 average By Ray Dozier

Sports Information Assistant

The Oklahoma wind sweepin' down the plain can be a punter's nightmare. And Central Oklahoma's Paul Irland is Irland well aware of the affects of a strong breeze on the kicking game. "I ,gust pray that the wind doesn't blow too hard," Irland said. "One week you might have a 50-yard average and the next week you might have a 25-yard average, depending on what the wind's doing. I've been lucky so far." Irland, a junior from Grapevine, Texas, is among the best in the country, ranking tenth in NCAA II with a 40.6 average per punt. Two weeks ago, Hand was second in the nation after dropping six punts inside the 20 and booting 11 kicks 45 yards or further. He now has 12 punts of 45-plus yards this season, five of 50 or more and has downed eight punts inside the 20. Irland's longest punt of the season was a 59-yarder against East Texas State. Those statistics make NFL scouts sit up and take notice. "I'm not going to pay attention to the stats right now," Irland said. "There's still a long way to go in the season. I just need to concentrate on the business at hand." Irland said he has his sights set for the NFL two years from now. "Any team would be fine with me," he said. "Just so I get a chance to play. It's my goal to be in the NFL, so I'll try hard to get there." Irland said he'll be content to wait for that day, having learned the value of patience at UCO. He redshirted in 1988 then spent the last two years as back-up to Waymon Potts. "I knew I was a good punter then, but I never got a real chance," he said. "I went to a kicking camp last summer and it helped me. It helped me on techniques, such as two-stepping instead of three steps. That and a lot of practice have helped. "The camp also showed that

you can still learn something and there's a lot of room for improvement." Inland punted just 10 times last year, averaging 37.6 yards a kick, but has already been called on 37 times this season. "I'd much rather the offense do well, but sometimes they don't," he said. "I'd much rather have them score than go out there and kick. Whenever it's my turn to out there and do it, I'll do it." Irland began punting in the sixth grade when a high school coach showed him how to do it. Irland said he never had trouble learning how. "I just kept working at it after the coach showed he how," he said. "It felt good getting some of those 'oohs' and `aahs.'" If he continues his current pace, Irland will get plenty of those. V

Prosecutors charge arson suspects OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Prosecutors have charged two Oklahoma City men with arson, burglary and stolen property charges in connection with fires at two Oklahoma City churches. The men, Russell D. Corley and James Fleming, are in jail in Seminole County, where they are charged in the burglaries of three Seminole County churches. Two of the three churches were burned. Corley, 21, and Fleming, 20, were charged in Oklahoma County District Court with two felony counts of seconddegree burglary, and two felony counts of concealing stolen property. Law enforcement officers from Oklahoma City, Del City, Seminole County and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said they found numerous items in Corley's house and Fleming's house that were believed to have been taken during church burglaries in several cities.

Twins born to own grandmother ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - Twins born to their grandmother were doing well but likely will be hospitalized for another two weeks, a hospital spokeswoman said. "That's par for the course with twins or preemies (premature babies)," said Patty Kirkpatrick, spokeswoman for St. Luke's Midland Hospital. Chad Daniel Uchytil and Chelsea Arlette Uchytil were delivered early Saturday to Arlene Schweitzer, 42, who served as a surrogate to her daughter and son-in-law. The daughter, Christa Uchytil, was born without a uterus. Eggs were taken from Mrs. Uchytil's ovaries, fertilized with her husband's sperm and implanted in Mrs. Schweitzer's womb. Mrs. Uchytil was with her mother when she went into labor, five weeks early, said Rory King, the family's attorney.

Principal facing drug charge quits PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP) - The Pauls Valley High School principal, recently charged with drug violations, has resigned, school officials say. Jack Hester, who was arrested in Bryan County on Oct. 9 after allegedly trying to buy two pounds of marijuana, resigned in a letter received Monday, said Pauls Valley School Superintendent Terry Simpson. Simpson said he received letters of resignation from both Hester and Hester's wife, a third-grade teacher at Pauls Valley's Jackson Elementary. "The letter was non-incriminating," Simpson said. The Pauls Valley School Board is to meet Monday to consider accepting the resignations. Hester was charged with conspiracy to deliver marijuana and was released after posting $5,000 bond. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 12.

Supreme Court requires warrant to search homeless person WASHINGTON (AP) - The Supreme Court this week let stand a ruling that police need a warrant to search closed containers homeless people leave under bridges or in other public places where they live. Police arrested Mooney, and then went to his home under a bridge abutment in New Haven where they found a closed duffel bag and cardboard box. Without a court warrant, they opened the containers and found $700 in coins apparently taken from the victim, a pair of blood-stained pains and a belt the same size as the victim's waist. But the state Supreme Court said the evidence should have been suppressed because police violated Mooney's Fourth Amendment protection against illegal search and seizure. Mooney reasonably believed that the box and duffel bag, closed and in a secluded location, were his private property, the state court said.

HARASSMENT The woman quit about two

Continued from page 1

Three years ago, UCO junior Chris Jennings said he was harassed by his homosexual manager while working at Pizza Hut. He made a complaint to a another female manager, who spoke with the violator. The harassment then stopped. While employed at a manufacturing plant in Iowa in 1980, KCSC Chief Engineer Larry Iverson said he worked with a woman who was told indirectly by her boss that if she didn't sleep with him she would lose her job.

weeks later but took no legal action, Iverson said. She did, however, address the issue in a letter to the newspaper editor. "I would suggest that probably every person has had some type of touch or innuendo that has made them uncomfortable," Irving said. "Sexual harassment is not just the word or the touch," he added. "It's a continuation of the word or touch after the individual has been told to cease and desist. That is the key." V
