rapes were cow eyeballs, lukewarm clumps of animal liver were passed around at parties, and dunking for apples was still in style...

Halloween has changed.

Dr. Kenny Brown, assistant professor at UCO, has seen a few spooky seasons in his 44 years.

"I had a fairly typical 'trick or treat' routine. I always pieced together an outfit that would keep me from being recognized," said Brown.

"There were no door to door problems then. No razor blades in apples, that sort of thing has ruined the fun tradition," said Brown.

Bill Deering, director of teacher certification at UCO also remarked on the change.

"It was a neighborhood affair back then. You could go through the backyards at will. And you didn't have to worry about being run over (on the street)," said Deering.

Dr. Tom Turner remembers a slightly more, well, a different Halloween.

"The last Halloween I went, I think I was about 12, I went in drag. Mom's dress and a big blue flowered hat," said Turner.

"It has simply gotten to be a lot more dangerous," he said.

Brown takes a tough stand on the issue.

onday night, children across the nation will don costumes of goul and gore. Of course there will be the usual "Barbie and Barney" wannabe kids, but for most youngsters, the mummy, a vampire or the black cat are the mainstay.

Halloween has its beginnings many centuries ago, in varied places around the globe.

According to Compton's Online Encyclopedia, via America Online, Halloween originated in the British Isles. The Celtic festival of Samhain was observed by roving bands of Guisers, young people in fiendish masks. The groups walked from village to village carrying lanterns carved from turnips.

Ancient Druids danced in the orange glow of giant bonfires to scare away the roaming dead. The last night of October was the time the dead could return to gain their vengeance. If these evil spirits were not frightened off by the fires and skyclad dance routine, they had to be appeased. Prayer and sacrifices were believed to be demanded by the apparitions.

Sweet food worked best to quell the evil undead.

During the same time of year the ancient Romans honored Pomona, the goddess of fruits and gardens.

Roasting nuts and apples over open flames in honor of the winters food store. But, a more sinister side also existed.

Ghosts, goblins and fairies (not all fairies are of the Tinkerbell variety) would come into the cities to cause mischief and mayhem. After the celebrations, the paranormal creatures were once again banished to the forests.

Today, the pagan rituals have been overshadowed by the Christian rites.

The last day of October is the Christian All Hallows Eve, hence we get the word "Halloween," and the day after is All Saints Day. The children of today perform many of the same rites, but hopefully for different reasons.

The masks harken back to the Celtic Guisers, jacko'-lanterns are the mutated children of the carved turnips. The treats in the 'trick or treat' are the sweet food of the Druids.

The sinister side of the occasion is kept in the shadows. The western Judeo-Christian attitude is that the darkness can be outshined.

The Druids still dance, the guisers still walk, and perhaps the dead do roam.

nce upon a time, in a land not so far away, there was a blacktop prairie where students and faculty alike could park at their own leisure, without fear of repercussions from the elders.

But no more. The land became tainted with the smell of money and the discordant ringing of a cash register, while the peacefulness of the blacktop prairie was stripped away.

The land was invaded by the dreaded, evil ticketeers, whose job was to pilfer through the pockets of the once docile dwellers of the blacktop prairies.

The dwellers of the peaceful land fought back, but without the knowledge needed to recapture the peacefulness of the land, they were destined to fail.

Where did this fairy tale start?

The University Center parking lot.

Auxiliary Services purchased the 468 space lot from the university to provide parking spots for visitors to the school.

The pay lots' advantages may not be immediately apparent. After all, every time a scheduled event comes about, the University Center parking lot has the appropriate number of spaces marked off, so that shouldn't be considered a problem.

It would seem that Auxiliary Services doesn't find enough complaints on parking coming in to suit their taste and have decided to serve students and faculty another cold-handed slap in the face.

The idea of a pay lot is not new, and UCO certainly needs a place for visitors, customers and prospective students to park. The placement of the pay lot is also centrally located for the convenience of these occasional wayfarers, who, in the midst of their state of affairs, visit our lovely campus.

The intent behind the idea is rational, but perhaps a pay lot more logically sized would benefit everybody.

But in reality, 468 spaces is in excess of the number needed for accommodating visitors to the UCO campus.

However, one advantage is clear: when parking in the lot, one won't have to deal with tickets over petty little things, like misplaced parking decals, and uncertain parking zones.

But alas, visitors to this portion of the blacktop prairie may find it a lonesome place to stay, fenced off and alienated from the docile dwellers of AD UCO.

In the last issue of The Vista, Miss Black Oklahoma was incorrectly identified as Miss Black UCO. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Activity fees spent unwisely, student says

H

ow is your student activities fee being spent?

The student activity fees need to be spent in such a way where students can develop leadership and or organizational skills. As long as students are individually, or as a whole, benefitting from these funds, it is in the interest of UCO. But on Oct. 12 at a Student Government Association Budget Committee meeting, President

Ben Harris proposed that we, the SGA, give $300 to a certain member of SGA to fly to a conference in Baltimore, stay for three nights at the cost of $139 a night. The balance of the total expenses for the trip would also come from Student Activities funds, but not from SGA. My question was, why do delegates have to fly down there and stay at such an expensive hotel? Other students have been to conferences before, taking a

Greyhound bus to Florida and staying at cheaper motels and commuting to the various meeting locations.

To this, President Harris argued, "We don't want our representatives to stay at seedy motels."

Well, my argument is that this money belongs to students and we have to learn to be more responsible and less image conscious.

T

he vice presidential elections for the Student Government Association have really drawn our attention.

Adam Harwood, a current senator and a vice president at the Baptist Student Union, seems obviously to be the better choice.

He has proved to us in the past, that he is not afraid of taking a stand. He took up matters against President Harris in his committee, the SGA senate and even with the administration.

His main concern for this election is that the students of UCO need to be better served.

We have a $23,000 yearly budget and Harwood promises to see that this money is well spent.

SGA president endorses V. P. candidate

I

am writing this letter in regards to the upcoming Student Body VicePresidential elections.

As your former Student Body vice president and current president, I would like to say that we have two men that are very wellintentioned running for vice president this year, but in my opinion one candidate far outshines the other as far as qualifications, production and sincerity are concerned.

The candidate I am speaking of is Senator Scott Davenport.

Scott has been a senator for the students for two years now, and in only his first year he received the coveted award of Most Outstanding Senator. Scott has definitely served his time in the trenches and I think he is very well prepared to take the next step in student service.

I have seen very few people work as hard as Scott Davenport does in fighting for what the stu-

dents want and deserve. Scott Davenport cares about his constituents, which I think is a quality that is absolutely vital to the student body.

I urge you to support Scott Davenport, not for Ben Harris or Scott Davenport, but for yourself. I hope you vote for him, I know I will.

Student 'blows smoke' back at writer's column about 'coolness'

I

am writing in response to the article in the Sept. 27 issue of The Vista entitled "Columnist Blows Smoke at Nonsmokers." If Mr. Eddy's purpose for writing this article is to persuade nonsmokers to leave smokers alone, I feel that he has missed his mark—missed by a country mile. Not only did his column not make me sympathetic to his cause, it merely infuriated me. I quote "Smokers aren't the problem, paranoia is the problem." I agree that paranoia is a problem—paranoia on Mr. Eddy's part. He appears to have a classic case of 'Everyone is out to get me' paranoia. As a person who smoked for fifteen years and then quit two years ago, I can relate to the plight of both smokers and nonsmokers and thus do not normally take sides in this controversy.

However, I feel obligated to respond to the arrogance and

total lack of respect for nonsmokers that Mr. Eddy shows in his column.

"Gathering courage," Mr. Eddy writes, "the timid masses pass through, resenting the damage inflicted upon their healthy virgin lungs; lungs which would never inhale the vile nicotine laced smoke(sic)." I find this entire statement to be both sarcastic and offensive. Students are forced to politely push and shove their way through, continuously uttering "excuse me" or "pardon me," as they check the

time to see if they need to run across campus to make their next class on time. Because of this traffic jam, nonsmokers are forced to pause amid the smokers blocking the doors, surrounded by the inescapable cloud of cigarette smoke. I know of several nonsmoking students that find this area so offensive that they attempt to hold their breath during their transit through.

Some people may find this behavior somewhat extreme, but Mr. Eddy, please understand that there are students that do find

your habit offensive and would really rather not inhale your smoke.

Yes, it is true that smoking has been around longer than the U.S. (and many, many years before that), but it has only been in the last several years that the dangers of both primary and secondary smoke have been found.

Again, you are correct when you say "Remember it wasn't too long ago that the cigarette was a symbol of coolness." Yes, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and many others did smoke and were

considered sex symbols, but your theory is outdated. It would take too long to name all of the people who were killed by your so-called "symbol of coolness," but I am willing to bet that every one of them, given the chance to start over, would have chosen not to smoke.

True, one of the reasons I used to smoke was to relax, but I have since found alternative, non hazardous methods.

an't afford to save for retirement?

The truth is, you can't afford not to.

Not when you realize that your retirement can last 20 to 3o years or more. You'll want to live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that takes planning.

By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax-deferral and give your money time to compound and grow.

Consider this: set aside just $100 each month beginning at age 3o and you can accumulate over $138,209* by the time you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you'll have to budget $203 each month to reach the same goal.

Minority students targeted for portion of $1 million in grants, scholarships

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

Minority students interested in studying science are now being actively pursued at UCO due to a grant of almost $1,000,000 received by the Oklahoma Alliance for Minority Participation (OKAMP).

The grant from the National Science Foundation is intended to increase selected minority participation in the designated science programs by 15 percent, said Dr. D.S. Carlstone, chairman for the Campus Coordinating Committee.

Targeted minorities are AfricanAmericans, Hispanics, Native Americans and Pacific Islanders, said Carlstone. Asians are excluded because they are not under rep-

resented in the science field.

To increase the percentage of minorities, the program will provide funds for scholarships and for summer internship programs.

The designated areas of study are biology, chemistry, computing science, mathematics and statistics, sociology, physics, psychology and majors in secondary education with specialties in the previously mentioned areas.

The program will not include health science, clinical psychology, social work and chemical dependency in sociology and computer science programs related to busi-

ness applications, said Carlstone.

"There may be many gray areas. In these cases, students are encouraged to apply and let the Coordinating Committee determine eligibility," said Carlstone.

Students interested in applying for OKAMP scholarships should contact the faculty representative in their area of study.

The representatives are: Dr. Chalon Anderson, psychology; Dr. Cheryl Baldwin Frech, chemistry; Dr. David Boliver, mathematics; Dr. Lamona Evans, English; Dr. John Guthrie, physics and Dr. Donna Zanowiak, biology.

SGA delpates legislative-assistant program

By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer A program is being considered • by the Student Government Association (SGA) that will allow potential senators to participate in the student senate meetings. How it will happen, however, is in debate.

Rules governing the initiation of a legislative-assistant program perked opinions among members of the student senate in the session held Oct. 24. The program, if enacted, will offer an assigned assistant to student senators to help them with their duties and representation.

Although few senators showed disagreement to the concept, many versed their opinions on the details. The hour-long meeting entertained mostly questions about the privileges and member status a legislative assistant would receive. ✓ Under the proposed UCO legislative-assistant program, non official members would be given speaking privileges and would not have to serve office hours or meet an attendance quota

meeting and then brought before the senate without further inspection.

The senate moved into a cornmittee of the whole to consider the proposal. In other words, the entire senate acted as a committee to decide the specifics of the program, a step Redus said should piece of literature and have been gone to a committee, avoided.

The program was ✓ modeled after a similar program from Texas A&M University, a university that Student Body President Ben Harris said had "one of the best SGA chapters in the country."

"It's a very poorly written piece of legislature and that's why it should have gone to a committee, so they could have re-written it," Redus said.

"All we're doing now is going through and tightening it up...it's very vague."

One main objective was to get the program going as soon as possible," Weber said.

It was brought into committee of the whole to speed up the initiation, he said.

"It took 3 committee meetings before we (SGA) finally estab-

lished a working budget. We needed to get this enacted because we have a waiting list," Weber said.

The program is ✓ designed to maintain interest in SGA, help train those involved in parliamentary procedure and SGA processes, offer a larger voice to represent the students and provide a tool for increasing competition for senator seats in the future, Weber said.

Weber said he doesn't care if it overcrowds the senate, or causes more controversy and differences in opinion. ✓ "One of the things we tend to overlook in the SGA is that discussion is often the best way to resolve issues. To get the best out of legislation you have to be willing to let everyone be heard. We have over 16,000 students at this campus and only 45 people make decisions for them.

That's not right," Weber said.

The issue was "tabled," or postponed, until Monday's meeting.

Leadership Council to hold campus-wide retreat Saturday in UC

By Emilee L. Truelove Guest Writer Student leaders on the President's Leadership Council at UCO are hosting a campus-

wide leadership retreat from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 29 in the University Center Grand Ballroom.

"PLC students attend a leadership retreat in the summer. We

decided it would be beneficial to UCO if we offered all campus leaders such an opportunity," said Carrie Cook, coordinator.

Cook said several PLC students will lead small group ses-

sions. The cost is $15 per person and $25 for two people.

The cost includes an activity workbook which participants can take back to their organization.

She requests that organizations

send no more than five students.

Registration deadline is today.

Fire kills 25 people in South Korea DANYANG, South Korea (AP) — The fire that killed at least 25 people aboard a sightseeing boat spread so quickly that many passengers were overcome by toxic gas before they could jump overboard, rescuers said.

"I feel like I escaped hell," said Kong Hae-kyong, 38. who survived Monday's fire on the 54-ton Chungju No. 5. "I saw people dying in front of me."

After nearly suffocating from the smoke, she crawled through a broken cabin window and was rescued.

The fire broke out on the rear of the ship as it traveled down a scenic lake in central South Korea with 134 people on board.

Navy divers found five more bodies today, bringing the death toll to at least 25 people. Thirty-three were injured. many seriously, and 70 were rescued by local fishermen.

As weeping relatives tried to identify the charred remains of victims, divers today searched the murky river for the six people still missing.

Thieves steal 7 Picasso paintings ZURICH, Switzerland (AP) — Thieves have stolen seven Picasso paintings worth more than $40 million from an art gallery, police said today.

Zurich police said the break-in occurred over the weekend through the cellar of a neighboring house.

A police statement said two works, "Seated Woman," and "Christ of Montmartre" were the most valuable of the paintings stolen. Both paintings were stolen in 1991 from a Zurich gallery and were recovered the following year.

Police did not immediately name the gallery where this weekend's theft occurred.

In the past year, works by Spanish master Pablo Picasso were stolen from museums in Stockholm, Athens and Chicago.

Oil filled dam collapses in Russia MOSCOW (AP) — A dam containing oil from a broken pipeline in northern Russia collapsed after heavy rains, sending the oil gushing into two rivers, authorities said today.

While Russian officials said there was no serious danger to the environment, U.S. authorities quoted in today's New York Times called it a major spill that was eight times the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster.

The newspaper said the broken pipeline dumped about 80 million gallons of hot oil onto frozen ground near the Arctic city of Usinsk, about 1,000 miles northeast of Moscow.

Alexander Avdoshin, a spokesman for the Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations, told The Associated Press today the pipeline burst in February in the Russian Arctic.

He said he had no figure on the size of the spill, but said it was "considerably smaller" than the Times reported.

A 25-foot-high dike built to contain the spill collapsed after heavy rains on Oct. 1.

Avdoshin said the oil spilled into two rivers that flow into the Pechora River, which empties into the Arctic Ocean.

Sri Lanka government lifts curfew COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Shops reopened today as the government lifted a curfew imposed after a suicide bomber killed the top opposition candidate for president and 51 others.

Still, policemen and soldiers armed with automatic weapons patroled the streets of the capital and stopped cars at scores of checkpoints throughout the city today.

The candidate, Gamini Dissanayake, and three other party leaders were among those killed early Monday when a bomb packed with metal pellets exploded at an election rally less than three weeks before the Nov. 9 elections.

In a radio message to supporters, Tamil rebel leaders denied responsibility for the killings.

Tamil rebels have been fighting for 11 years to win an independent homeland in the north and east of Sri Lanka.

Halloween horrors reflect eerie . outlook on life's value, meaning

By Paul Eddy

Staff Writer Bricks, bats and sacrificed cats seem to be more and more the traditional fare of Halloween. Of course, most of us have committed some type of creative mischief during the witching hour.

But now, there seems to be a growing trend of violence and multiplying threads of demonic spell craft in the air on a darkened Halloween night.

It used to be safe to let children run about in their colorfully splayed costumes, never a passing worry spent on what might be hidden in each candy. Yet Halloween seems to bring about the evil in society.

Perhaps society is ever so gently relaxing its self-restraint and flooding the celebrated night with its repressed sins.

Column After all, Halloween used to be a time of vile sacrifices and evil spirits. But it has also been held as a day of holiness. Is evil overcoming the purity of good, is it mankind sinking back to a time before morality, a time of superstitious evil, or is it simply the fact that life has

lost much of its meaning in modern society?

Could it be that modern society has become so computerized that violence is the fastest way to access the humanity which is ebbing from us. Is the id all the humanity left in society's collective conciousness?

Halloween is on its way and with it comes the excuse to release our stranglehold upon our darker sides. Perhaps this year our twinges of evil can subside to pure mischief and harmless mayhem.

UCO wrestlers prepare for another title

By Jimmy Hyde

Sports Writer

Once again, the three-time defending national champion Central Oklahoma wrestling team is preparing to make another run at a national title. The tradition-rich program is coming off possibly its' best season last year, going 122 in duals and climaxing with the school's 11th national title since 1979.

The word tradition comes up quite often when speaking of Broncho wrestling.

"We are rich in tradition on the simple fact that in the last 11 or 12 years we have been first or second in the national tournament and more first," said Head Coach David James. "I think that pretty much speaks for itself."

This season, the Bronchos will be led by five returning All-Americans, including senior leaders 126pound national champion Brian Melchiori, 134-pound national

runner-up Mike Keim and twotime All-American 190-pound Chad Humphrey. In addition to the above trio, the Bronchos return 142-pound national champion Jerry Best and 158-pound Mark Cunningham.

"I think when you have five All-Americans returning and some individuals that have done some things in the national tournament, you are obviously excited about the," said James.

The Bronchos will need help at five weights this year: 118,150, 167,177 and heavyweight.

The odds-on favorite at 118 is sophomore Keith Kizarr, who gained experience last season behind Randy Zellner.

At 150, it is wide open with letterman Shawn Bateman, senior Richard Holland, SIUEdwardsville transfer Matt Surber and newcomer Brad Simpson battling for the top spot.

If two year starter and 1993 national qualifier at 177 Chris Griffin can make the move to 167, he will be the favorite. Freshmen

Chad Beeson, Ryan Provence and Ryan Neasbitt will also contendfor the starting position.

Like 167, if Griffin should decided to stay at 177, he would be favored there, although junior Kyle Vandruff could be a factor as would Chad Beeson he should move up.

At heavyweight, Denny Kennedy, a juco All- American last year, should be the starter with juco transfer Jason Zubieta presently out with injuries. Zubieta could possibly move down in weight class upon returning.

The starters will be finalized after the Nov. 10 Bronze-Blue Intrasquad match.

"I am happy with everybody as far as effort, as far as attitude, I think we're all positive," said James. "We are all working together, we are not there yet but we are working on it. I think we have to take it up a notch."

UCO opens the season with

two tournaments, the Central Missouri Open Nov. 13 and the Nebraska-Omaha Open Nov. 19, before wrestling in the Las Vegas Invitational Nov. 25.

"Those tournaments will hopefully prepare us as we head to Las Vegas Thanksgiving weekend, where I know the competition will be very good," said James.

This season, the Bronchos will host the NCAA Division II Showdown Duals. This elite event features 16 teams representing four of the five Division II regions.

"We decided to make a bid or a presentation for it because of our tradition and we got a lot of people that would support it as far as teams in Division II that I think are high profile programs that

wanted tocome to this part of the country, where wrestling is good and hopefully it will be supported," said James of the Showdown Duals.

With the exception of hosting the National Showdown Duals Jan. 28, the Bronchos have only two home duals this season.

"I'd obviously like to have more home duals," said James. "I guess it is a situation where if you are doing well it is hard to get people in your division to come in and wrestle you."

"Our athletes are intelligent enough to know who we have and what is expected of them," said James. "They always year in and year out have high goals and I don't think this year is any exception."

Tradition indeed.

Playoff picture grows dim for Bronchos

By Scott Moore Sports Ed itor What once was a team on a roll has now become a team at a temporary standstill.

So goes the story of the 1994 Central Oklahoma Bronchos who, before Oct. 15, was once a team unbeaten at 6-0 and ranked as high as ninth in the Division II top 20.

But after two consecutive defeats, UCO finds itself 6-2 and ranked seventeenth. In their last two games the Bronchos were manhandled by Texas A&MKingsville 34-0, Oct. 15 and Angelo State 22-3, Oct. 22.

What's worse, the Bronchos now find their once promising playoff hopes greatly dimmed by the losses and a 2-2 conference record that has placed them on the

sidelines of the Lone Star Conference title race.

"I still think we have a chance at the playoffs," said UCO Head Coach Gary Howard. "It's not over yet. Obviously we will have to win our last two games. Also, a lot will depend on what the other teams do."

Sixteen teams are selected for the Division II playoffs. The top four teams are selected from four regions. The Bronchos are in the West Region and are currently tied for fifth.

The Bronchos were not only beaten in those losses, but were beaten up as well. UCO came away from the A&M game with six starters suffering injuries during the contest and were forced to play against Angelo St. without four offensive starters.

"We don't have the type of depth that allows us to sustain a lot of

injuries," said Howard. "The people we lost were experienced players and it was hard to replace them."

Split end Tony Bryson (ankle), strong safety Richard Norman (knee), offensive lineman Chance Nelson (knee), offesive lineman Mike Filson (concussion) and defensive tackles Chris Prestegard (shoulder) and Travis Hildebrand (elbow) were all injured during the A&M game with Filson, Nelson, Bryson and tight end Lewis Griffin missing the Angelo St. contest. Starting defensive tackle Joe O'Neal suffered a knee injury against Kingsville and will be out for the rest of the year.

The Bronchos will be off this Saturday and should be at full strength (except O'Neal) when they play host to NebraskaKearney Nov. 5.

UCO to host tennis championships Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer UCO, KickingBird Tennis Center and Oak Tree Country Club will host The Rolex Small College Tennis Championships starting today and running through Sunday .

For the second straight year, UCO will host the elite tennis players from four divisions. The tournament will feature 175 players from 96 schools.

Players will compete in men's and women's singles and doubles.

The annual tournament pits the eight regional winners against each other to determine the division

champions for the NCAA II, NCAA III, NAIA, and the National Junior College Athletic Association.

Once each division has crowned its champion, the four divisional winners will enter the "Super Bowl". The "Super Bowl" portion of the tournament will have the four divisional champions vying for the title of Rolex Small College Tennis Champion.

This year, unlike last year, there will be a representative of UCO

fighting for the ultimate prize.

Freshman standout Monika Wirthova, from the Czech Republic, qualified for the tournament by capturing the NCAA II Midwest Regional title Oct. 2.

The four divisional finals will begin at 9 a.m. Friday with the NCAA II women's singles final at 1:30.

"Super Bowl" competition takes place Saturday and Sunday at Oak Tree's indoor facilities. Play will begin at 9 am.

After a five-game road stint, the UCO volleyball team will returned home Tuesday for a six game homestand to finish the season before the Lone Star Conference Tournament Nov. 11-12 at Portales, N.M.

FASA celebreates native

By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer The steady, pulsating rhythm of the drum they call the Grandfather accompanies the songs that tell the stories. The gourd dancers, dressed traditionally in tribal dress, celebrate silently in the language of the dance.

The gourd dance, a traditional dance, celebrates in a graceful and honorable way the return of Indian veterans from all wars, said Michael Whitecloud, a member of the Cheyenne tribe from Oklahoma City.

The fall benefit powwow held this weekend in the ballroom at the University Center was an event that celebrated the crowning of LaDonna Nero, the First Americans Student Association Princess.

Nero, a senior majoring in business and finance, is a member of the Oklahoma Seminole Tribe.

Nero wore the traditional patchwork dress of the Seminole women.

"The patchwork is traditionally made up of strips of fabric representing both your parents and your own clan," said Nero.

The cape, part of the traditional dress, dates back to the Florida Seminole women who used it to prevent mosquito bites on their arms, said Nero.

"The ribbons I'm wearing signify a girls age. In the slot dances they have a ribbon dance. Seminole girls are not allowed to perform that dance until they reach a certain age and have their ribbons."

Bead wearing is also a tradition with Seminole women. One strand of beads is worn for every year of a woman's life.

"When a woman feels she is too old to wear so many beads, she will take them off one year at a time and give them to a young girl on her birthday," said Nero.

Nero has been attending powwows for many years. She says she enjoys the dancing and considers it a great honor.

"A lot of the songs that are sung are family songs. They are sacred and passed down from generation to generation," said Nero.

"There's also a lot of gift-giving at powwows. Gifts are given to the head singer and dancer and to people that are special to you."

As UCO's First Americans Princess, Nero said she hopes to represent the organization by making students aware of the Indian culture. She also intends to visit other powwows as a representative of UCO. "If people are aware that there is a strong Indian student organization on campus, it may draw more First Americans Students to UCO," said Nero.

Nigh Institute, president honored with citation from National Guard

By Lynda D. Poe Guest Writer UCO President George Nigh and the Nigh Institute of State Government have been named recipients of the Patrick Henry Citation, presented annually by the National Guard Association of the United States.

UCO was nominated by Maj. Gen. Gary Maynard, adjunct general of Oklahoma, and the National Guard Association of Oklahoma for its "Salute to the 45th" April 12.

The Patrick Henry Citation is in recognition of local officials and civic leaders who provide exceptionally strong support for the National Guard.

UCO and the Nigh Institute were nominated for the "salute," which commemorated the 50th anniversary of World War II by honoring the accomplishments of the 45th Infantry Division.

The Distinguished Service Medal was awarded to a Medford native, Gen. Dennis Reimer, commanding general of the United States Army Forces Command, for his out-

standing service to the United States, the Armed Forces and the National Guard. Reimer was the keynote speaker for the "salute."

Nigh will be presented the award at the Veterans' Day ceremony, Nov. 11, at the State Capitol, when an etched glass memorial to "The Spirit of the 45th" is dedicated.

"To memorialize the 50th anniversary of World War II and the role of the 45th, the Nigh Institute and the Edmond Evening Sun commissioned an etched triptych which depicts the 'Spirit of the 45th,"' said Carl F. Reherman, executive director of the institute.

The memorial has been approved by the State Arts Council and will be installed on the fourth floor of the Capitol. The $10,000 project was funded by private donations.

Marrilynn Adams, an artist at Draegon Gate Studio, was able to depict the eight major campaigns of the 45th during the 511 days of combat.

"Each scene is a symbol for people and events, encompassing an entire war," Reherman said.

Sigma Delta Pi reactivated last year on UCO campus, elects new officers for '94

By Nicki Cormier

Staff Writer Sigma Delta Pi, a national Spanish honor society, has been on campus for many years but has not been active since 1986.

The society was reactivated last year due to the fact that the foreign language department has grown by leaps and bounds this past two years, said Kati Schmidt, the society's reporter.

"There are so many more Spanish majors now and the attendance in the activity department has been excellent."

Sigma Delta Pi also sponsors

the Los Amigos club, a social club for anyone currently enrolled in Spanish.

The goal of Sigma Delta Pi is to further promote the knowledge and understanding of the Spanish culture, as well as the literature, said Schmidt.

"One of the prerequisites of membership is you have to have taken a Spanish literature class, also you must have a 3.0 GPA," said Schmidt.

"We have got lots of activities in November which includes the `Day of the Dead,' a Spanish holiday similar to Halloween that will be celebrated Nov. 2."

The University of Central Oklahoma Police logged the following incidents from Oct. 17 to Oct. 23,1994.

Also, Los Amigos will join the French Club and Sigma Delta Pi, hosting the annual foreign language department bazaar, Nov. 29-30, said Schmidt.

These events are open to anyone interested in learning more about the Spanish culture. For further information, contact Tessa Cook at 359-3326.

Sigma Delta Pi, has elected its officers for the 1994-95 school year. They are: Eric Winkle, president; Susan Waite, vice president; Nuri Creager, treasurer and Kati Schmidt, reporter.

Professor presents his views on race, politics at conference in Minnesota

By Sheila Nunnelee

Staff Writer "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," said Santayana, an AmericanSpanish philosopher from the early 20th century.

Dr. Jere W. Roberson, professor of history and geography at UCO, presented a paper on race and politics in the early 20th century at the 29th Annual Northern Great Plains History Conference Sept. 29 in St. Paul, Minn.

The five-day conference that Roberson's paper was selected for was titled "On the Edge of the Abyss: Racial Affairs in Oklahoma City, 1914-1919."

People across the country came to hear well-known and up and coming historians, said Roberson.

Roberson, who has taught at UCO for 26 years, has presented papers at the conference for the past 10 to 15 years.

The research is getting better because records are more available and can establish communications, said Roberson.

The time Roberson's paper discusses was a time he says people could not handle the responsibility of racial progress.

At the end of this period when the riot situation was calmed, attitudes that were created were not eliminated, they came back again and again, said Roberson.

Many of our attitudes come from ancestors, but students now should stand on their own, said Roberson.

The papers for the sessions are selected by a committee if

they are interesting and wellwritten, and if they like it they build a session around it, said Roberson.

The commentator for the session was Howard Beeth, a professor of history from Texas Southern University.

"Beeth offered good criticism," Roberson said.

By Rachel Schnitzer Staff Writer Baseball players from Edmond North and Edmond Santa Fe High Schools will showcase their talents at UCO Oct. 29.

The Edmond North-Santa Fe American Legion Baseball Club is sponsoring a 100-inning baseball game to help raise funds for seven local teams for the 1995 season.

Players from both schools will participate in the fund raiser.

The game will be played at the UCO baseball field at 8 a.m.

The club will not charge admission, but donations and pledges will be accepted at the game.

In case of rain, the game will be rescheduled for Nov. 5.

Concessions will be available at the field.

UCO, United Way kick off annual campaign UCO President George Nigh hosted a kickoff luncheon on Oct. 11 in the Grand Ballroom in the University Center for 75 United Way ambassadors and supporters.

United Way programs assisted 19,146 Edmond citizens, including 795 UCO employees last year. The United Way has many different assistance programs including homes for battered and abused children, delivering meals to the home-bound elderly and literacy training.

"I see it as a way of neighbor helping neighbor or employer helping employee," said Philip Arnold, Assistant Vice president for Fiscal Operations, one of the coordinators of the United Way program at UCO. Donations for as little as $1 to $2 per pay period will help to make a difference, Arnold said.

The United Way is a locally

incorporated charity. Of the money raised, 99.4 percent of it stays in central Oklahoma.

UCO has about 45 ambassadors who are responsible for giving out pledge cards to the staff and faculty and bringing them back.

"The pledges are pretty much coming in the same as they did last year, which is good," Arnold said.

Arnold said that he would be glad to give students pamphlets, show them videos or just tell them a little bit about the program.

UCO's annual United Way campaign runs through Nov. 4.

For more information, call Philip Arnold or Frankie Lauderdale at 341-2980, Ext. 3321.

Tulsa officer attacked by pit bull Tuesday TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A police officer was recovering Oct. 25 after being attacked by a pit bull dog.

The dog's owners turned it loose as the officer approached their house, said Lt. Randy Orndorff.

Sgt. Buck Gardner was knocked to the ground and bitten several times before other officers could get the dog under control. They fired sev-

eral shots at the dog but missed, Orndorff said.

Gardner was treated at Hillcrest Medical Center.

The couple were arrested on a complaint of assault with

UCO graduate travels to help get Cambodia 'on-line'

By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer An Oklahoma City based information technology firm recently received a contract with the Khmer Journalists Association in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for assistance in training journalists and constructing an on-line communication network.

Matthew Driskill, president of Global Information Resources Inc. (GIR), will travel to the country to establish a network to connect all of the country's 18 provinces with its capitol, as well as the "information superhighway."

Driskill graduated from UCO in 1986 with a degree in journalism and is a former Vista editor.

"Anytime you travel in a country that has been torn apart by civil war, you are at risk," said Driskill.

He started GIR in 1993 after leaving a locally based news wire service, where he served as vice president of international operations. He has won awards for his reporting and photography.

"Throughout the course of my career, I have developed a combination of international travel, journalism and computers," said Driskill.

GIR provides on-line database and consulting services to foreign and domestic companies around the world.

Woodward woman reunites with 'daughter' via Unsolved Mysteries OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — DNA blood tests indicate otherwise but a Phoenix woman says she still believes she is the person who disappeared as a little girl after a Woodward tornado in 1947.

Jean Randall Smith told The Woodward News she is encouraged by information she has received from a Texas woman,

who remembers seeing a child who fits Joan Gay Croft's description in 1947.

Croft was the 4-year-old girl who survived a devastating tornado in Woodward in 1947 that killed her mother and injured her father. The child disappeared after being taken to the basement of the Woodward hospital by rescue workers.

After the "Unsolved Mysteries" episode aired last year, family members still living in Woodward received many calls, but Ms. Smith seemed the most likely of the telephone calls.

Ms. Smith said that while under hypnosis, she had flashbacks that linked her to an event resembling the tornado.

Ms. Smith traveled to Woodward

last summer and visited with relatives of the Croft child.

A family member said a genetics testing laboratory reported there is only a 256-to-one chance that Ms. Smith is indeed the Croft child.

But Ms. Smith is not satisfied.

Ms. Smith said the Texas woman, who was not identified, told her that she remembers a

couple and a young girl with a shaved head had moved in next door to her family in 1947.

Ms. Smith said she has a picture of herself as a child with her head shaved.

Marvella Parks, Croft's cousin, said she has been in contact with a South Carolina woman who also believes she is the missing child.

Greasepaint 'roars' without a glitch

By Paul Eddy

Staff Writer "The Roar of the Greasepaint! The Smell of the Crowd!" played this past weekend. Nearly 750 people attended the three shows.

The casting scored a direct hit when they placed David Bewley as Cocky, his performance was brilliant, and almost outshone the other worthy efforts.

The show was well put together as evidenced by the fact that the performance was void of any marring flaws and blessed with outstanding performances by all cast members.

The theme consisted of a game being made of life, with a winner (Sir) and a loser (Cocky).

An interesting aspect was added in the form of six screens above and behind the stage upon which pictures of various faces

and objects were shown at intervals.

The performance of the evening was dealt out by David Bewley and Eric Key, Sir, in "Where Would You Be Without Me?" the singing and movement fit together in near perfection.

"Saturday night was definitely my best night," said Bewley.

The next performance in Mitchell Hall Theatre will be this weekend as The Kaleidoscope Dancers Company and The River North Dance Company provide two evenings of dance.

Next is The Three Musketeers, Nov. 10-13, followed by Hansel & Gretel Dec. 1-4.

Merry Christmas The Vista is sponsoring a drive to help make Christmas happen for several Edmond Hope Center families!

STARGATE more than stereotypica `sci-fi' flick

T

he wait for Star Trek: Generations is nearly at its end. However, if a break is needed in the monotony, one might want to sample the new Roland Emmerich film STARGATE. Emmerich had an idea for a film set inside the Great Pyramids and co-writer Dean Devlin had an idea for a desert epic set in space. STARGATE is the combination of the two concepts, according to Devlin in a press release from the studios.

Two very different men set out to explore the mysteries of an esoteric artifact. One, Colonel Jack O'Neil, (Kurt Russell), is the head of a top secret team investigating the artifact. The other, Daniel Jackson, (James Spader), is an Egyptologist who identifies the artifact as a StarGate, a portal

between worlds.

The two step through to an alien world, Abydos. They enter the city of Nagada, and encounter the ruler, a godlike being named Ra (Jaye Davidson).

Ra discovers that the portal can be reopened and devises sinister plans concerning Earth.

O'Neil and Jackson must work together to defeat Ra. The film presented some unique problems. Because it was filmed in the Yuma Desert, a constant supply of water was needed, according to the producers in a press release.

The main chamber of Ra's palace was filmed in the same room which had held the infamous Spruce Goose.

STARGATE resulted in the development of a new language.

Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith, a research associate at the Institute

of Archaeology at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History, was asked to reconstruct what ancient Egyptian might have sounded like if it had developed over thousands of years.

Ten wind machines were used to recreate the effects of desert sandstorms. Some of the most exciting footage was filmed during a real sandstorm.

STARGATE is a great journey, but in the end, it is a very human story. That is to say, simply, that you can travel to the other end of the universe, but whatever life form you encounter, you are still going to have to deal with your own humanity," said Russell in a press release from the studios.

STARGATE is rated PG-13 and will be shown in selected beginning Oct. 28.

Squanto has realistic twist It's 'seen' from a Native American standpoint

I

Adam Beach stars as Squanto

t seems that films dealing with the Native American culture draw audiences, and perhaps this is the motive for Walt Disney Pictures cinematic adaptation of the well-known story, Squanto.

SQUANTO: A Warriors Tale is the story of a young Eastern Massachusetts Native American warrior and his adventures.

Most of America's children have heard the traditional Thanksgiving tale of Squanto, helping the Pilgrims through the winter, and the subsequent Thanksgiving feast and celebra-

tion. Writer Darlene Craviotto tells the traditional story with a twist. This time it is from a Native American viewpoint, according to a studio press release.

SQUANTO: A Warriors Tale is one of the few films to use a Native American actor as its principal character, Adam Beach. The film also stars Eric Schweig, Uncas from The Last of the Mohicans, as Epenow Squanto's friend and fellow abductee.

The filming took place throughout Canada, including Nova Scotia where Squanto's tribe, the Patuxets are locat-

ed. The crew had help from the Eskasoni, members of the same tribal nation as the Patuxets. The Eskasoni were used as extras. They also helped to authenticate the reproductions of Native American ceremonies and helped with the Mi'kMaq language used by the tribal nation.

The Native American attire used were sewn by hand using many of the same materials that were used originally.

SQUANTO: A Warriors Tale is rated PG, and will hit the area theaters soon.
