Cameras creep up for campus safety By Lisa Tatum Staff Writer

Spirits haunt around the world f trick or treaters wanted to reclaim the roots of the harvest-time tradition, they would venture out into the streets in costumes constructed of animal heads and skins. However, most of today's kids would probably rather stick with the more subtle white sheet with eye holes or a black hat and faux mole. But that wasn't the fad 2,000 years ago, and no one was opening doors to offer candy.

Many history books say the modern-day celebration of Halloween sprang from a Celtic festival call Samhain (pronounced "sow in"). Samhain, rooted in areas near Great Britain, Ireland and France, celebrated the end of the summer season and the beginning of the Celtic new year. Huge bonfires were built and gruesome V See HALLOWEEN, Page 4

hey're lurking over your shoulder at the bank. They watch you meander through the aisles of the grocery store. They know everything you buy at the 7-11. And now they are coming to UCO. Video surveillance cameras. will become a part of UCO's high-tech future this spring. In the first of a two-phase project, a remote controlled video camera will be installed on a pole north of Broncho Lake. The camera will provide a 270 degree view of the lake and surrounding area to be monitored by personell in the university's department of public saftey (DPS). "This camera's primary purpose is to provide a safety net over the lake area," said Jim Roberts, chief the UCO DPS. Dr. Cornelius Wooten, vice president of administration, said the idea for camera surveliance on campus has evolved over the past months but became urgent with the completion of the lake. "The lake is to be enjoyed," said Wooten, "but it could be hazardous." "We're concerned with safety but we don't have the manpower

to make sure people are obeying the rules," he said. The cost of the initial camera and video system will be $12,800, to be funded through the university's general fund, said Wooten. Cameras added in Phase II of the project will cost approximately $5,000 each. Funds should be available to launch Phase II by July 1, 1997, he said. Within two years, Wooten said a total of 11 cameras will monitor the campus. At a total cost of approximatley $80,000. officials believe the saftey benefits will outweigh the costs. "What's it worth to prevent one assault?" said Roberts. "We have a responsiblity to make our campus safe," said Wooten. "We feel this investment will give us good mileage for our money." He said he thinks the cameras will be easily accepted. "Society has come to accept that video cameras are a part of our daily life." Wooten appeased concerns for those who feel cameras impose an invasion to their privacy. â&#x20AC;˘ "This university will be committed to making sure such invasions don't take place." 4

omehow it's appropriate that we run our election issue on Halloween.

Being a voter is a little like passing out candy for the holiday—you stand at the door and try to decide who it really is under that facade. We have to look past the face candidates put on to see what is really underneath. How can we do this? By looking at the candidates' stands on the issues rather than catchy slogans schemed up by an advertising manager. In our media-rich age where an actor can be elected president and most of our information comes from soundbites, finding the truth can be hard—but it's not impossible. Resources abound to help us decide who we should vote for on Tuesday. On pages six and seven The Vista has provided a place to start with answers from the candidates running for U.S. Senate and House in this district. Also listed is a summary of the state questions that will appear on the The Vista got the information from the Oklahoma League of Women Voters. They have an Internet site with these questions and answers from candidates running for all state offices. The address is www.oklahoman.net/connections/lwvok If you're not on the Internet, their phone number is 236-5338. It's important to vote on Tuesday, but it's also important to have an informed vote. The Vista hopes this issue will help you discern the tricksters from those who deserve your vote Nov. 5. Pujan Roka /The Vista

Message in Angels in America deeper than homosexuality

fter the front-page story in the Oct. 24 issue of The Vista, I find myself amazed at the under sight of the "Student Voice Since 1903." Concerning a show of such monumental importance as Angels in America (winner of three Tony Awards and two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama), I believe there might be more to report on this work than, "a man showing his lesions to a doctor," and "a man being sodomized behind a bush in a park." As I myself told staff reporter Telannia Hytche, the subject matter of "Angels" goes well beyond issues of sexual preference and AIDS into issues of religion, gender and social politics, family relationships, career ethics, racial inequalities,

struggle for self-actualization in the modern world, the decline of western civilization, and ultimately the question of whether or not there is a god in heaven. I think these issues far outweigh the mention of "man being sodomized behind a bush..." This one scene is just a small element of the much larger and more meaningful experience that is Angels in America. Am I to assume that this journalistic negligence is sensationalism or merely oversight? Copies of the script are available for check-out in the Theatre Office for closer examination. —Allen Brawner UCO Theatre Student and Prior Walter in Angels in America

off the evil spirits believed to return every Oct. 31. These traditions, which have evolved into Jack-O-Lanterns and Disney costumes, were brought to the United States by immigrants, particularly the Irish. However, a less gruesome Christian tradition was also observed Oct. 31 to remember and honor saints of the church, dead and alive. "All Hallow's Eve" was a holy day, and still is in many parts of the world. In Mexico on Nov. 1 and 2, mourners recall loved ones in the celebration of "El Dio de los. Muertos," known by many as "The Day of the Dead." "It's not a morbid thing at all," said Dr. Marcia Hakala, chairperson of the foreign language department. "People believe that the souls of the departed return to earth to visit loved ones." The holiday, which has been commercialized in larger cities of Mexico, Hakala said, is now only celebrated in the traditional manner in smaller villages. The immediate as well as extended family members begin the celebration with a special mass. Then together they visit the cemetery where loved ones are buried and decorate the graves with flowers. "Much like we do on Memorial Day," she said. Keeping with tradition, food

"When the soul comes back it will be hungry," Hakala said of the traditional beliefs. Cookies and candies in the shape of skeletons are also a part of the celebration for the living, children and adults alike. However, the American tradition of gathering sweets door-to-door is not customary in Mexico, she said. Everyone is involved in the celebration, said Hakala. "Grandparents come, Uncle George comes," she said. "They have a very strong familia bond." The "family" is the center of a similar holiday celebrated in China, Japan and Korea. The Chinese celebrate "Memorial Day," to honor the dead, on or around April 5 according to the lunar calendar, said Dr. Mike Xu, assistant professor of foreign language and humanities. Although the holiday shares a name with one in the United States, the celebrations are very different, said Xu. "It's a very serious occasion," he said. But it's not celebrated in any specific way. Altar vigils for family members are held in a temple or at home, and public services with hundreds or thousands of people participating are held in places like Tienamen Square to remember the students who died there.

The rituals of the holiday, however, have changed through the years. In ancient worship, Xu said, many people felt the only way one could communicate with the dead was through the blood of self sacrifice. Worshippers would offer their blood, in some type of container, as a "contribution to the dead."

The custom of self sacrifice is not often practiced anymore, Xu said, but the tradition of wearing black and white for worship has remained. "White symbolizes purity," he said, "to worship the ghosts." And black reminds mourners of the seriousness of the occasion. Despite the traditions which have been lost or altered, like

celebrations of holidays in various cultures, Xu believes that one of the holiday's traditions has survived. Memorial Day "provides another opportunity for a family reunion in the name of worshipping the dead." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

Second, I will be working to reform government, by reducing burdensome regulations, by lowering tax rates and by establishing term limits.

We must have a system that insures full disclosure and does not include taxpayer funding of campaigns, government mandates to private broadcasters, or free mailing perks to politidians as some have proposed." •Boren "Expanding educational opportunity at all levels.

They fuss and fume, but because of their own self-interest they never questioned how or why Congress has the power to grant special favors in the first place.

Tax relief, especially for working families with children, and to help businesses provide more jobs. Halt government's strangling of jobs via excessive over-regualtion. Halt government programs which undercut-the values of America's families. Get tough approach to crime." • Independent Ava Kennedy: "I advocate economic growth through substantially lower taxes. A balanced budget by 1999 is possible by implementing cost-effective, scientifically-proven, prevention-oriented programs. Preventive health and natural medicine programs can cut our health care budget 50 percent while providing better health. Consciousness-based education will develop the full creative potential of every student at every level. The Natural Law Party endorses those programs proven to increase learning ability, memory and IQ, while at the same time dramatically reducing substance abuse and violence. These same programs are known to reduce recidivism, (the rate at which released prisoners return to prison) by 40 percents, saving $400 billion..."

Do not subsidize candidates with taxpayers' money, and do not force others (such as broadcasters) to subsidize them either. Whenever wealthy candidates spend a fortune of their own money trying to "buy" an election, permit their opponents to raise additional private funds to address this."

•Kennedy: "The NLP is in favor of publicly funded campaigns for those candidates who have demonstrated a certain base level of support.

Hand over the chocolate... Columnist trick or treats down memory lane

here's a haunting trend among many churches and church going families—the abolition of Halloween. The anti-boo faction laments that "Halloween is a pagan ritual that plays on the darker side of the human psyche," and they are right about that. And therein lies the fascination and allure that makes Halloween so beloved by American children. Socially sanctioned badness is the escape valve for the pinstriped offspring of the overgrown crop of yuppies that sprang up in the last decade or so. Spooky images that are transparently pretend are the antidote our kids need more than ever to balance the real tricks today's world hands out. An ordinary looking gelatin capsule that hemorrages in the

mouth of a six-year-old is therapeutic for both parent and child. Cross dressing between the genders is to be encouraged if we want our sons to understand issues like cleavage and panty lines. If a daughter is to understand why her banker daddy is a little cranky in the evenings, she needs to wear a suit and tie for eight hours. Most of today's kids worry about perfection so much that they now make Rolaids for kids. Kids need costumes anymore in order to be silly, or scary, or bloody, or, heaven forbid, childish. I'm not talking about the plastic and rayon mass produced Caspers and princesses. I'm talking ghosts made out of sheets and hobos fashioned from Dad's outcast clothing.

Lady Bronchos curb Texas Woman's win streak By Ryan Haley Student Writer

The Central Oklahoma volleyball team defeated No. 23ranked Texas Woman's University to break the Pioneers' 11-match winning streak Tuesday night at Hamilton Field

House. TWU entered the match with a 12-1 Lone Star Conference record, tops in the conference. "This is one of our biggest wins in a long, long time," said coach Mark Herrin. Central put a full match together which they had a hard

time doing when they had a 1-3 record this weekend, said Herrin. UCO split the first two games by scores of 15-12 and 9-15. Central took the third game 15-6, led by Kate O'Neill and Stacey Schwartz. Each had five kills. After dropping the fourth

game 8-15, UCO rallied to win the fifth game 15-12. O'Neill, a junior, led the team in kills with 26 while Schwartz, a senior, added 21 kills and 15 digs. Adriana Crovador also had 19 digs and 12 kills on the night. Arwin Schneider added 15 digs and broke her personal record of

ike a drill sergeant, .UCO wrestling coach .4 David James barks at his troops sparring on the practice mat. "Switch to offensive drills!" he commands. James describes his coaching style as "old school," saying that actual competition should be a relief from practices that are an ordeal. He pushes his wrestlers to go harder. He must uphold a tradition of 12 wrestling national championships. "Hey, if your guy doesn't resist, just throw him down! Get at it now!" James has coached the Bronchos to nine national titles and four runner-up finishes during his 15-year tenure at UCO_ Coming off one of those runner-up finishes last year, James says he faces a challenge to lead his team back to the national championship this year. UCO entered last year with a streak of four straight NCAA Division II national titles. The Bronchos spent the entire year

Broncho Profile: David James ranked No. 1 in NCAA II. When the national tournament came last March, third-ranked PittsburghJohnstown (Pa.) edged UCO 86.5-81.5 for the national title, snapping UCO's string. UCO qualified only seven of their 10 wrestlers for the nationals at the regional tournament, while PittJohnstown had 10 qualifiers. "We fell a little short of our goal. Not that we didn't have success, but not what we want," said James. "We've got to give credit to a program that brought 10 kids and had eight make AllAmerica." UCO had six wrestlers place to grab All-America honors, with three individual champions, the most of any team in the field. But then-junior Keith Kizarr, No. 1-seeded at 118 pounds, suffered an ankle injury, The Central Oklahoma wrestling coach David James talks with junior 126-pounder Mark injury hampered him during the Goodson during play last season.

early exit after a third-place finish the year before. James described Kizarr's injury as just a break that happens in sports, but he said that the team had no margin for error because they had only seven wrestlers in the field. "We didn't get three guys through. We need to turn that around. That's our goal, to get 10 guys through to the national championship," James said. "Just in case something like that happens again, we might have some other individuals pick up the slack, and we didn't have the numbers to do that, and that's frustrating. take responsibility for that." James said seeing PittJohnstown knock off UCO must have motivated several of the Bronchos' top competitors, making it more of a challenge for UCO to win it again. At the same time, James said that last year's runner-up finish should motivate his team. "Hopefully what happened last year will make us hungrier, much more committed and we'll hopefully work towards that goal." •••

Back in 1990, Portland State (Ore.) edged UCO by four and a half points for the national title in their first year competing in NCAA Division II. The Bronchos had won the NAIA national title the year before, James' fifth title as a coach. Seven UCO wrestlers took All-America honors, three made it to the finals and three more won individual titles that year. "In 1990 when we finished second, I was concerned and guessing, 'What does it take to win at the NCAA Division Ils?"'

James said he was proud of that team although he would have liked to have won a title. When asked about last year's team, James said to Kizarr's injury and the performance of some of his wrestlers were a disappointment to him. James said he blames himself sometimes, thinking that maybe he was complacent. He said he is trying to be much more aware when he is teaching because he's afraid to leave anything out. Meanwhile, James said that he knows athletes are the ones who must perform. He has harped on his wrestlers about evaluating their performance after a contest, then rededicating themselves. "I've been telling our kids athletic achievements live short. You savor the moment when it happens, then you get back focused, dedicated and disciplined for what you have to do to get ready for the next year. If not, then you're subject to a lot of different results. "We've been good about that, maybe we weren't last year." UCO has five starters back from last year's 11-5 team, and James said that they will need five other wrestlers to contribute. "Hopefully the successful people will rub off on everyone to be successful." ••• talk to Coach James r and ask him about how last year's team turned out. He tells them how his team finished second. "Any other team, any other program, they would have loved that," James says. "We're almost having to apologize for that."

David James have placed either first or second at the national tournament in 13 straight years, James said. The program started in 1921 and was shut down in 1947. Then-Central State University revived the program in 1972 under coach Jimmy Rogers. He led the Bronchos to a fourthplace finish in NAIA his first year, then claimed a runner-up finish the second year. "For a program first starting, that's pretty remarkable," said James. "It's just kind of taken off and built from there." Rogers stepped down in 1978 after leading Central to a fourthplace finish, making way for new head coach Eddie Griffin. Central claimed their initial national title in Griffin's first year coaching at CSU, defeating Adams State (Colo.) by a 33 1/2point margin. The Bronchos beat Adams State two more times under Griffin in 1981 and '82. While Griffin guided CSU to its first team title, he also led a 134-pound wrestler named David James to the first of backto-back individual national titles. James became the first four-time All-American for CSU, recording the eighth-best record in school history. James also coached as a graduate assistant under Griffin

for the 1981 championship team. "(Rogers and Griffin) were both good, excellent coaches," said James, who played for Rogers his freshman and sophomore seasons. "They demanded success and did the right things to give the team the opportunity to be successful." James took the CSU coaching reins in 1982 after spending one season as an assistant at Edmond High School. In his second year, the Bronchos romped to the NAIA national title by 33 points. Since then, James has seen the program's budget and number of participants increase. Twenty wrestlers were on his first team, but 64 wrestlers showed up at the first practice this year. That number is down to about 40 now. Also, Oklahoma has only three collegiate wrestling programs, meaning that UCO gets a good pick of athletes, James said. State high school coaching is excellent, he said. "I've been around to see a lot of things and experienced all of the levels as an athlete, assistant coach and head coach. We have come a long ways in terms of how the program has grown." ••• ile James describes himself as an "old school" coach, he also calls himself a- "players' coach" in the next breath. "When I met him, I knew he was a dude that I wanted to win for," says student assistant Jerry Best, who was a three-time national champion for James. "He's a real good motivator." James said that he likes to get close to his players, much like he did to his two coaches. Having two coaches allowed him to see two different styles. Since James became a coach

himself, he has chosen their best qualities and used them. "They were two special friends that made a big impact on me to get involved in the coaching profession. They were my coach as well as my friend." James says that it is important for his team to be a tight-knit group. He says that the team calls themselves a family. "Believe me, there's a lot of truth to that, the things we go through in the year—the ups and downs, the personal problems— guys are human beings." Another of his wrestlers called him "intense." James said he calls himself a competitive person who thinks hard work and consistency in preparation is the key to success. "I believe in going in and preparing; going 150 percent, where when you compete, it ought to be a relief. It ought to be 'Okay, here's my opportunity to compete, to test what I have prepared and done.' Some call that 'old school,' but I still believe in that. "Anybody can get dedicated for a week or a month. Can you do it for six months? The guys who are able to do that on a consistent basis in this sport are going to be rewarded." The 5-foot-7-inch James still carries a lean, yet muscular frame like in his wrestling days. He began to wrestle in elementary school. James credits his parents, coaches and the competitive nature of sports for teaching him his theories and values. "I still believe in that theory of preparing, working 150 percent and staying consistent. If you do that, I just believe you're going to be rewarded for that. "So far that's a pretty good formula."

Sig Eight' wins ATO tourney By Keri Jensen Student Writer

A team called "Big Eight" won the Second Annual Alpha Tau Omega Flag Football Tournament Saturday Oct. 26 in front of Hamilton Field House. Eight teams, composed of ten players each, participated in the event and many ATO alumni, parents, family and friends came out to support them. The "Big Eight" received individual trophies, championship T-shirts, free meals at Metro Dehli, and threemonth passes to Gold's Gym. Some of the players on this team included former Dallas Cowboy and OU Sooner Charles Franks, former OU Sooner Charles Johnson, and former Missouri Tiger Terrance Mathis. "The Thunder", a team including ATO alumni Chad Guest and Brian Lockhart, placed second in the tournament. UCO's ATO chapter took third place, receiving medals. Terrance Mathis, of the "Big Eight" team was named Most Valuable Player.

A portion of the tournament's proceeds went to the American Red Cross. "We are all glad that this tournament was as successful as last year's, and we hope to do it again," said Matt Little, member of Alpha Tau Omega.

State Question No. 674- Rights of Crime Victims If approved, State Question 674 would establish certain constitutional rights for victims of crime or for family members of victims of crime. These rights would include: 1. The right to know the status of the prosecution and investigation. 2. The right to know the location of the defendant from arrest through the serving of a sentence. 3. The right to be present at proceedings where the defendant has a right to be present. 4. The right to be informed when a defendant escapes or is released. 5. The right to be heard at sentencing and parole hearings. State Question No. 675- Assessment Ratios If approved, State Question 675 would change the range of assessment ratios for tax purposes. The range of assessment ratios for locally assessed tangible personal property would be set at 10 to 15 percent. The range of assessment ratios for locally assessed real property would be set at 11 to 13.5 percent. The ratio for property assessed by the State Board of Equalization would be set at 22.85 percent for public service and 11.07 percent for airline and railroad property. If approved, these ratios could not be increased except upon approval of the voters and could not be increased within the constitutional range by more than one

percentage point per year. State Question No. 676- Valuation Cap If approved, the fair cash value of real property could not increase by more than 5 percent in any taxable year. This 5 percent cap would not apply in a year when the property is transferred, changed or conveyed to another person or when improvements have been made to the property. If improvements are made to a property, the increased value to the property will be assessed and added. If a county is not in compliance with laws governing the valuation of real property, that county would not be permitted to apply the 5 percent cap.

Commission candidates answer leagues' questions

he Oklahoma Corporation Commission was set up to supervise the activities of all public business whose services were considered by the legislature to be essential to the public welfare. The Corporation Commission regulates transportation and transmission companies, mainly railroads and telephone and telegraph companies along with oil and gas pipelines. The Corporation Commission also regulates the water, heat, light and power rates. The Corporation Commission is composed of three commissioners who are elected by statewide vote to serve six-year term. The terms are staggered so one commissioner vacancy occurs every two years. The League of Women Voters questioned both candidates. The question was: Other than utility rate making, what do you consider the most important function of the Corporation Commission? , Republican Ed Apple responded, "It is crucial for Oklahomans to continue to have affordable, reliable utility services. This is critical as we experience the deregulation of telecommunications, electric and gas services which will afford Oklahomans with choice of providers and services. The Commission will be guardian of the rate payers rather than regulator to be certain that those who are competing for business comply with all rules and provide the utmost in quality services. As a Commissioner, I will play a vital role in insuring Oklahomans a prosperous and productive future by working with the rate payers and providers." Democrat Wanda To Peltier responded, "Oil and gas are among the state's most valuable resources. The Corporation Commission regulates 91,000 active oil wells, 29,000 active gas wells and a multitude of inactive wells. A commissioner must be concerned about the causes and effects of the depressed price of oil and gas at the wellhead—not only on producers but also on the mineral owners and Teachers' Retirement System. Safeguarding the market position, financial strength, and product price especially of out small and medium-sized independent producers will move all of Oklahoma forward. Relatedly, the commission must abate pollution of the environment (protect our water)." A —By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

Professors, cupcakes show all elements of Chemistry Week By Joanna Owen-Clouston Staff Writer

CO students and faculty will celebrate National Chemistry Week with a variety of events for kids of all ages. The fifth annual Chemistry Week will be held on campus and in Norman Nov. 2-9. Cheryl Frech, professor of chemistry, said an effort is being made to bring public awareness to the positive contributions of chemistry to everyday life and to the nation's economy. The event starts Nov. 2 at Sooner Fashion Mall in Norman. UCO professors and students along with individuals from industries will be manning a table at the mall. There will be interactive chemistry shows and information about chemistry and science from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Frech said. The week's events will continue with element day Nov.

4 in the UCO chemistry department. Professors will be dressed as their favorite chemical elements and parade through classrooms in Howell Hall. The Chemistry Club will be selling cupcakes decorated with symbols for each element Monday in Howell Hall. On Nov. 6, middle school and home-schooled students will come to UCO for an open house. The students will participate in a number of hands-on activities and see two interactive chemistry shows put on by UCO senior Paul Langevin and UCO chemistry professor, Mike Hellwege at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Pizza and informational handouts will be available to the students. Frech said she thinks_ this event is especially important to the female students. "There is some strong evidence that girls drop out of science at this middle school age much more rapidly than boys,"

Frech said. Although she doesn't know why the girls drop out she thinks that exposing them to the different aspects of science may help keep them interested. She said many people don't realize the amount of chemicals they are around everyday. "The young students will be given stickers to place on something they think is chemical free, but nothing is," she said. On Nov. 7 demonstrations will take place in the UCO Child Study Center. "We want to stimulate the smallest scientists," she said. The 3 to 5-year-olds will be shown simple demonstrations on science and how it works. The last day of events will be a career day Nov. 8. Four UCO chemistry graduates will give short presentations on their experiences in the "real world" to the current chemistry students.

Angels: A

ngels in America will be performed for the next three days at 8 p.m. in Mitchell Hall. This is a three part series on Angels in America and its main characters. The first story was a summary of the play. Insight was given into Prior Walter and Louis Aronson, two of four main characters in "Angels," in the second story. This is the third and final story in the three part series on Angels in America..

Rob Gallavan as Joe Pitt When is it the right time to come out of the closet? For Joe Pitt, a main character in "Angels," there was no right time to come out of the closet. The right time came after Pitt developed a relationship with his co-worker, Louis Aronson. In order to conform to society, Pitt hides his homosexual desires from the public. As a Republican lawyer who is married and a Mormon, who would suspect that Pitt would be gay? Rob Gallavan's character , Joe Pitt, presents an ideal person to prevent being ostracized. With his six-foot frame and arms resting on a table top, Gallavan said, "He

Actors attempt to identify

(Pitt) is a really good guy, with good intentions." During the play, Pitt leaves his wife, Harper, to be with Aronson. Aronson finds out that Pitt publicly opposed legislation pertaining to homosexuals and tells Pitt that he should return to his wife. Upon returning to his wife, Pitt discovers that she has left and he is alone. Gallavan said that he is the character that has no one at the end of the play. Although Gallavan and Pitt are opposite in character, Gallavan said he can identify with Pitt's tension. "Joe is married, gay and Mormon. I'm single, straight and Catholic," said Gallavan. Gallavan researched his character in the play. He said talking to gay friends and a staff member who is a former Mormon is what helped him prepare for the character. Gallavan was a journalism major before changing his major to theatre arts. Last spring, Gallavan was a staff writer for theTheVista. After completion of St. Gregory's

Veterans programs, benefits, topic of discussion A team of Veterans Affairs representatives will be presenting a program for anyone at UCO interested in obtaining information on the full range of VA benefits and services. Ken Young, UCO director of degree certification and veteran's affairs, said anyone who is currently drawing benefits should attend along with anyone interested in finding out more about VA programs such as: home loans, school loans, National Guard and Reserve benefits, service connected and non-service connected pensions/compensation and spouse/children benefits. The VA team from the VA Regional Office in Muskogee will have pamphlets and brochures available and will have a computer link to files that will help them to answer specific case questions. "They (the VA team) will talk about veteran benefits and different things then break things

up to answer individual questions," Young said. The program will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 6 in Room 308 of the new Education Building.

college, Gallavan transferred to UCO. He is a senior. Gallavan's first play was "False Admissions" where he played the lead. He said he "chickened out at first" and then decided to try for a part in the play. A published poet in the National Library of Poetry, Gallavan said he plays the bass guitar as a way of relaxing. Renee Krapff as Harper Pitt Where do you find the courage to conquer agoraphobia? Renee Krapff, who plays Harper Pitt in "Angels," said her character development from agoraphobia to independence is not shown in the play. Pitt is a mild valium addict, agoraphobic, Mormon and married. Krapff's clear blue eyes widen as she said she identifies with her character's fear. Krapff said her character's main focus is to be safe. Harper considers her husband Joe as a protector against her fears instead of a companion. During the play, Joe does not give any attention to his wife's needs. Any sexual advancement Harper presents to her husband is rejected.

KCSC starts fall fund drive

"I had a lot of compassion for Harper when I read the script," said Krapff, pressing her hands to her chest. In part one of "Angels in America," Harper's fear and addiction is displayed. In part two, she finds the courage to leave her home and husband to fly to San Francisco. San Francisco is where heaven is located in the play. Before deciding to become a theatre art major, Krapff wanted to be a professional golf player. Krapff recalled an incident while she was golfing as a young girl. She had her hair tied under a cap and without a second look, Krapff could have been mistaken as a boy. After completing a swing, a passing man said "nice swing young man." Krapff's goal began to change while participating in high school plays. "When I got in a play in high school, I couldn't wait to go to rehearsal," said Krapff. Singing and dancing are two activities Krapff enjoys in her spare time. Krapff is a senior majoring in theatre art. ,01%) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By Telannia Hytche Staff Writer

KCSC 90.1FM, UCO's classical radio station, needs to raise $110,000 during its annual fund raiser being held Nov. 1 - 10, Brad Ferguson, KCSC's general manager said. Even though the station receives funding from the UCO ($25,000) and the Corporation of Public Broadcasters ($85,000-90,000),

KCSC has to raise the rest to support their operating budget. Ferguson said "KCSC is the most listened to of all public radio stations with approximately 50,000 listeners, four or five times the number of people that attend UCO." For more information, call 4605272. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;By Shawn Goudy
