Dentists provide free care for elderly, disabled TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Dr. Richard Naught wants to put a dent in the number of developmentally disabled and elderly people who cannot afford proper dental care. So he volunteers his skills and know-how to a statewide program called D-Dent, an acronym for Dentists for the Disabled and Elderly in Need of Treatment. Dentists in the program provide free comprehensive dental care. "It's just a segment of our community that doesn't have availability to dental care," Vaught said. "This is our attempt to take care of people" who are not being taken care of by the public health system.
Alert waitress spots phony bills BOISE CITY, Okla. (AP) — Two Texas men were arrested and about $380,000 worth of counterfeit money was seized after an alert waitress tipped authorities that two men were trying to pay for their meal with fake money. Donald Francis Christian, 31, and Ronald Jay Lopez, 29, both of San Antonio, were charged with possession and passing of counterfeit currency, federal prosecutors said. The men were arrested Thursday in the Oklahoma Panhandle by the Cimarron County Sheriff's Department, said John Green, first assistant U.S. attorney. Joseph L. Gallo, special agent in charge of the Secret Service in Oklahoma, said authorities found about $380,000 in counterfeit money and photographic negatives used to make the phony money.

TheUniversity of Central Oklahoma will celebrate its 102nd birthday 12:30 p.m. Nov. 9 on the west side of Old North. Susan Thompson, director of student activities, said as part of the celebration, 102 students will be chosen to participate in a drawing for a full semester tuition waiver. All students chosen will be awarded a $20 gift certificate from the UCO B ooks tore. The names will be chosen at 12:45 Nov. 2 in the University Center breezeway. Students can sign up through Nov. 2.

Thompson also said UCO President George Nigh will be picking one name through today for a chance to receive a $100 gift certificate to either the UC Bookstore or The Corner. Students who are picked must be wearing UCO clothing when Nigh comes into the class or they will not be eligible to win the prize. The first 2,000 students to sign up will receive free UCO window stickers. Also, the organization signing up the most people will win $300, said Thompson. Thompson said students must have a validated student LID to sign up and students can only sign up once. "This is an opportunity for the university to give back to the students and also to promote pride on campus," said Thompson. Free cake and punch will be offered and all students along with the public are welcomed to attend.
Former UCO employee pleads guilty to sex crimes By Joy McNutt
Staff Writer A former University of Central Oklahoma bookstore employee was sentenced Thursday, for sex crimes against five boys ages 13-15. Ronald Junior Haney, 27, pleaded guilty to six counts of offering to engage in lewd acts and no contest to one count of kidnapping. The crimes occurred between Jan. 10 and Mar. 7. Oklahoma County District Judge Richard Freeman handed Haney two consecutive 20-year sentences, each, with the last 10 years suspended. "It may mean five years or it may mean eight or nine years depending on the parole board," said Lou Keel, prosecuting attorney. "I have already written them a letter asking them not to parole him," Keel said. "He was getting more violent each time out." Haney has been held in tlie county jail since March.

appy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, University of Central Oklahoma (/Central State University/Central State College/Territorial Normal School)! Happy birthday to you! Oct. 9 marks UCO's 102nd anniversary celebration. There's no one here that can tell us first hand about those first few years, of course, but we have photographs, and letters, and diaries and newspaper clippings from that time — words and pictures that show the hopes and wishes for the school's growth and success, as well as the concerns and fears of failure. Well, the school has grown, with neighborhood communities and new businesses popping up in the wake of that success — a sure sign of growth. And the school doesn't appear to be doomed to failure any time soon, although some of those same businesses and community neighborhoods were sacrificed to make room for classrooms and parking lots. Another sure sign of growth. With growth come changes, and often changes spark dissent. Dissent yields improvements. Improvements bring new growth and more changes. If it were not so, UCO would still be the Territorial Normal School — a lone building in a barren wilderness, its bell ringing across the vacant prairie, summoning those who would teach to come and learn. The present administration has tried to make this year's celebration a memorable one — with some students receiving birthday presents in the form of certificates and other giveaways, including one full semester's tuition. President George Nigh is participating in the festivities, drawing the names of winners and presenting some of the prizes in person. Perhaps President Nigh could take volunteer for one other event—being the recipient of the traditional birthday spanking. That's 102 licks, with a few extra for UCO to grow on, and grow on, and grow on .. .

Paper should go to daily to keep up with university, student says
T
he University of Central Oklahoma's newspaper, The Vista, is published every Tuesday and Thursday, right? Why can't it be published daily like most major university newspapers? "UCO, it keeps growing and growing..." Remember this quote? Well, the paper needs to grow. With the increased enrollment this semester, the paper, not to mention the advertisements, would
reach more people. This is exactly what advertisers like! Maybe The Vista could acquire more accounts. Being a senior majoring in Journalism, I understand how the system works. Surely there are enough people to make this idea work. Don't get me wrong. I'm not criticizing The Vista in any way. I think it's a well-designed paper with a lot of potential. I enjoy reading it. Many students I know only at-
tend classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. With a Tuesday/Thursday paper, every time they pick up a copy, it's old news. I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way! So let's do something about this. The student body deserves the best.

Students should not be forced to violate their ethical beliefs for an education
w
e should compare apples with apples, and focus on the issue rather than emotion. Human changes in education have been brought about by students who are sensitive to suffering. A student is entitled to an education that does not violate his or her ethical beliefs. Mandatory classroom dissection is not necessary, so it erodes a student's sensitivity. Classroom dissection has no connection to vegetarianism or to medical research. Vegetarianism is simply a dietary choice relating to cholesterol levels and fat content of meats. A reduction in the number of animals slaughtered, and any corresponding environ mental impact, appears to be secondary to the overall goal of better health for the individual. Most people regard medical research on animals as a neces-
nary evil, and it has given us many effective drugs. However, I wonder whether we might have developed more or better medicines, if we had used other methods for that research. Animal models are not so effective as we may believe. Digitalis, which saves countless cardiac patients, and chloroform, the anesthetic, remained off the market for many years because tests on dogs showed the two medicines to be very toxic. Penicillin kills guinea pigs, and aspirin is deadly to cats. There are many other examples. Animals and humans differ in medically important ways. Rationalization, made more palatable by drug company profits, leads us to defend customary but outdated methods. Full-sized plastic models exist, similar to the well-known CPR doll, so that students can learn about tissue and organs without
dissection. Many other alternatives already exist and more are on the horizon. Virtual reality is very promising for the future. At issue is the suffering which we should alleviate—reduce or eliminate—wherever possible. There are many occasions within reasonable bounds and limits where we can be more humane, at little or no cost to ourselves. As a society, we are becoming more and more desensitized to the pain of others. When psychologists interview violent criminals, they often find a history of child abuse and animal cruelty. Compassion toward humans and all other creatures is a respected quality of character and strength.

Universty of Central Oklahoma President George Nigh held an open meeting Oct. 26 to discuss the $50 million Master Plan aimed at reinventing the University of Central Oklahoma campus and design the campus around student functions. The Master Plan focuses on the theory of an urbanized campus, by moving parking from the center of campus to the outside. "People can either park by an old building, or walk to a new building," said Nigh. Creating architectural unity is a fundamental part of the plan, said Nigh. To ensure architectural unity among structures to be renovated and those to be built, Nigh
requested that one architect serve as overseer for the project. A n y new idea for building or renovation according to the Master Plan must go through the master archi-

lions come from bonds and combined funds. "The philosophy is, when you come to campus you've really come somewhere," said Keller. Priority buildings in the renovation are the science and education buildings and the library, while it was pointed out that all the buildings are important. The projected finish date for the campus renovations is some time within the next three years. Parking fees go toward nothing but parking, which includes security, lighting and landscape for the lots, said Nigh. Library fees, based on the number of hours a student is enrolled, go only for the library.

Euro Disney unpopular with British, package tours scrapped LONDON (AP) — British Airways is scrapping package tours to Euro Disney, the theme park in France. The carrier said Wednesday that it had hopedto fly 5,000 people to the park this year, but only 1,000 are expected to go, "British holidaymakers are giving Euro Disney the cold shoulder," the airline said in a statement. British Airways Holidays said it will continue to offer special rates to Euro Disney, but stays at six nearby hotels have been scrapped. "Demand for short stays by air to Euro Disney have been disappointing," said Nick Wood, a British Airways Holidays spokesman. The resort is far more attractive to the road and rail market and, in time, the opening of the Channel Tunnel will stimulate surface transport stays further."
Survey estimates 200,000 runaway children in China BEIJING (AP) — China has about 200,000 runaway children living on city streets, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, quoting a survey by the Chinese government and UNICEF. Government controls over travel kept China from developing the large populations of street people common to many developing countries, But travel has become much easier recently, and the re-emergence of a private sector makes it possible for runaways to find odd jobs. Xinhua said in a report late Tuesday that the Chinese Civil Affairs Ministry and UNICEF began their survey last year focusing on places where the problem is worst: Shanghai, southern China's Guangdong province, and Hunan and Anhui provinces in the east. Shanghai and Guangdong attract runaways because of their booming economies, while poverty in I I unan and Anhui is a factor in driving children from home. Xinhua quoted Wang Jiu' all of the Civil Affairs Ministry as saying China's problem with runaway children is not serious compared to other developing countries, but will take "a long time and great efforts" to resolve.
Tailhook trial delayed over Samples immunity consideration NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — The U.S. Court of Military Appeals granted a delay Wednesday in the opening of the first trial to result from the Tailhook scandal. The military appeals court in Washington agreed to consider whether Lt. David Samples was given immunity. Samples, 28, is accused of indecent assault on a drunken woman who was passed over the heads of a gantlet of men at the 1991 convention of the military aviators group. Capt. William Vest Jr., the military judge in Samples' case, was prepared to open the trial Wednesday. But Michael Kmetz, Sample's attorney, said his client was told by an investigator and two prosecutors that "as long as he was truthful and honest, he would not be prosecuted, period." Vest ruled that Samples was given immunity only for his testimony about the gantlet, not for any actions he may have taken that prosecutors could prove using the testimony of others. Kmetz said a ruling on the immunity issue could take a week.

Walters responds to questions on OETA Friday By Dayna Poarch Student Writer Gov. Walters responded to questions asked by University of Central Oklahoma students on "State of the State," an Oklahoma Educational Television Authority program that aired statewide Friday evening. A camera crew from OETA was on campus Wednesday to record questions from students and faculty for the program. UCO was the first place OETA
had visited to record questions for the program since the governor pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, said Bill Perry, producer of "State of the State." Trena Long, a UCO student, asked the governor if he would step down if a consensus of the people wanted him to step down. "No, I wouldn't," he said. "If we change presidents or if we change governors or senators based on the ups and downs of poles or popularity ratings, I think we would be changing presidents about once a month and probably
governors every week...These are tough jobs. All of these jobs are tough, and you have to make decisions sometimes that are not politically popular." Tom Guild, UCO associate professor of business, asked the governor if he felt he had defrauded the people with the way he financed and ran his last campaign. "Absolutely not," Walters said. "I stand by what I've done and the plea I have rendered and my expression of apology to the state of Oklahoma, but I certainly haven't defrauded the state."

BSA hosts 'Alcoholism and the Black Family' By Terri King
Staff Writer The B lack S tudent Association kicked off the BACCHUS Club's Alcohol Awareness Week by hosting a presentation entitled "Alcoholism and the Black Family." Rick Cartwright from Turning Point, a community based drug and alcohol outreach, intervention and prevention program, involved those in attendance in a roleplaying exercise to illustrate the effects of addiction on the family unit. Cartwright said that addiction is basically the same in any ethnic group, but that addiction must be re-defined for African American families within the context of culture.
"Addiction is addiction, but people don' t become addicted in a vacuum; they become addicted within a cultural context. Culture gives a person a design for living. You can't separate behavior from culture," said Cartwright. Cartwright said the processes that exist uniquely within the black family must be identified before a treatment strategy for the addiction can be made. Then the community and cultural sanctions can be used to deal with the addiction. Cartwright said the AfricanAmerican traditions of the extended family and the black church can be very influential and helpful to helping people recovering from
addiction. "Recovery must begin at the community level and deal with the person's environment. The community has to deal with issues of availability (of drugs and alcohol) and then to set cultural sanctions," said Cartwright. Cartwright said most current treatment programs were designed to meet the needs of middle-class white men. Black S tudent Union president, Robert Lee Page, said the BSA was happy to sponsor the program for Alcohol Awareness Week in an effort to educate and inform students at UCO and thanked the director of Bacchus Jan Chapel.

Big-play Bronchos take week off By Justin Harper
Vista Sports Editor After snapping a three-game losing streak and claiming its biggest win of the season — if not its biggest win of the decade — Central Oklahoma will take a break this week and let its high-octane offense catch a breather. The Bronchos were idle over the weekend as they prepared for Saturday's non-conference game at Nebraska-Kearney. UCO will head into that game with a 5-3 record overall and a 13 Lone Star Conference mark. A win over the 1-6 (prior to
Saturday's game with Northern State, S .D.) Kearney squad would do little for the Bronchos LSC title aspirations, but it would be a nice little boost heading into the season finale with Eastern New Mexico on Nov. 13 and would aid in a possible playoff berth. If the Bronchos are to earn a spot in the post-season, it could very well be the big play that delivers them there. UCO has made a living off of the big strike this season by notching 36 plays that have covered 20 yards or more. UCO has gained 1,202 yards on those 36 plays for an average of
33.3 yards. The big play has come on land and by air as UCO has 18 plays of 20-plus yards in the passing and running departments. That trend continued during the Bronchos 28-24 win over thenNo. 7 Angelo State on Oct. 23. The Bronchos had three plays that went for 157 yards and a 52.3 yard average. The biggest of those plays was reserve running back Joe Aska's 84-yard game-winning jaunt. Aside from the long gainer, a few other offensive aspects have led to the Bronchos success. Quarterback Terry Payne has revitalized the UCO air attack with his
1,079 passing yards this season. The senior signal caller is connecting on 56 percent of his passes and has six 'ID passes. Then, of course, there is the unstoppable Broncho rushing attack. Running backs Tyrone Jones (102.9 yards per game), Glenn Starks (89.5) and Aska (42.0) have combined for one of the most formidable ground games in the country. Powerful offenses usually equate to high scores, which usually equates to victories. The Bronchos could use both this Saturday.

Unselfishness makes UCO's Price right for spikers By Scott Moore
Student writer Central Oklahoma's Rachel Price can be described as unselfish. On the court, at the position of setter, Price has set records for being unselfish, owning the UCO mark in assists for a match, singleseason and a career to name just a few. Price's job on the court is to give, and when her UCO volleyball career is over, when it's all said and done, she plans to continuing giving - to the community. "I would like to open a sports physical therapy clinic here in Edmond," said Price. "There are a couple of clinics here but they are specialized clinics. I would like to open a general orthopedic clinic so people in Edmond won't have to drive to the city."
Price is a senior majoring in physical therapy. She plans to apply at the Physical Therapy school at the University of Oklahoma's Health and Science Center sometime this fall. "I've always been around althletics," she said. "And I love working with and helping people. It's something that I've always enjoyed and I thought it would be something I'd be good at." Price is currently carrying a course load of 12 semester hours and says her grade point average is 3.6. She stressed the importance of receiving good grades and the difficulties of maintaining a high GPA while trying to perform well on the court. "My GPA is very important to me," she said. "To get into physical therapy school you have to have a high GPA, and that's tough to do while playing volleyball.

Sometimes I can get stressed out trying to keep my grades up. I find that I don't have much free time but I balance it out by staying focused because I know it's important." As it turns out, she has a natural talent for balancing it out. After transferring to UCO from Southern Nazerene University in 1992, Price started all 41 matches last year and finished with 1,585 assists, setting anew UCO singleseason record. She also set a new single-season mark for sets with 4,477 and assist percentage with a
mark of .354. She also owns the single-match record for assists with 76. So far this year, she has set a new career assist record by amassing 2,768 and she currently tops the Lone Star Conference this season in assists with 1,183. She also found time to last year to make the Athletic Director's Honor roll for both the Fall and Spring semesters. That last accomplishment is the most important to Price. "This is my last year to play volleyball and I certainly want to do well ," she said. "But educa-
Lion comes first because I know that after I graduate it's pretty much over for me as far as volleyball is concerned." When it is all over, however, Price said that she will look back at volleyball as something that had an impact on her whole life. "Playing volleyball has taught me a lot of discipline," she said. "It's taught me to compete and be competitive, not just in sports but in everyday life. "I find myself working harder to try and improve at whatever I do."
