CO seniors, who are traditionally allowed to take first pick of classes during the Spring enrollment period, will lose that perk next Monday. For the first time in recent university history, the seniors will have to stand in line behind hundreds of graduate students and wait for their turn at the counter, UCO enrollment officials said this week. "This is a different way of doing things, but something we felt was a long time in coming," said Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for enrollment management and registration. "We feel this will be easier for our department in that we can conceivably accommodate all the graduate students in one day." Beginning Monday, Nov. 10, all graduate students will be allowed to enroll- for the Spring semester. The admissions department will be open 8 a.m. -
7:30 p.m. The department is located in the lowest level of the University Center, just south of the Bursar office. Enrollment officials note that graduate students should plan "to wait a while" in line. They expect 900 or more students to converge on the department throughout the first day. "I fully anticipate that we will have a really long line on that date, so students should get there as early as possible," Legere said. "It will definitely be an interesting challenge." Last semester, and in former years, seniors and other students with 90 earned credit hours were allowed to enroll for Spring courses during the first enrollment day. Now they will enroll Nov. 11-13. Students whose last names begin with letters H 0 may enroll the first day, P-Z named students the second, and A-G named students on the third day, respectively. Officials said the department -
changed the enrollment date schedule in response to a request made last year by a graduate student and urgings from a department dean. Legere said the change should prove beneficial for all students, and assist the department in "warming up" for the thousands of undergraduates to follow. Students with 60 or more earned hours will enroll Nov. 14 and Nov. 17, with M-Z named students scheduling first and A-L students following. And those with 30 or more acquired hours will schedule for courses Nov. 18 and 19. Students will follow the same alphabetical assignment as those with 60 hours. Any student unable to register for classes on their assigned day, due to conflicts, may enroll on any subsequent day after 1:30 p.m. They may also schedule classes on any day that the alphabetical breakdown includes their last names. The final scheduling day is Nov. 21. OD
UCO narrows the field for new custodial service By Phillip Roder
Staff Writer
U
CO's Custodial Services Committee met on Friday to discuss the potential field of candidates for cleaning UCO and narrowed the field from seven to
three. The committee decided that Witt, Fila, and Flannery (WFF), Unico, and Southway were the best choices after extensive research on the references provided by the companies. The committee has invited WFF and Unico to an interview on Friday, Nov. 7. The third
company will be interviewed only if the first two fail to meet standards set by the committee, said Lennis Pederson, facilities management director. The companies will have 30minutes to "present their best shot," said Pederson. Following their presentation, they will have approximately a
30-minute question and answer period. During time the committee members will be able to ask questions that they feel haven't been answered, or still need to be addressed to make a decision, he said. WFF is based in St. Louis, Mo. and has been in business since 1974. Unico is based in
Boston, Mass. and has been in business since 1949. Southway is based in Oklahoma City and has been in business since 1986, said Ron Mattingly, co-chair of the committee and director of purchasing and business affairs. The new company will have a five-year contract with UCO, said Pederson.

I'M COMMITTED I'M COMMITTED 100 THE SOONERS. TO THE COWBOYS.
A
nyone who has watched the news lately has heard about 21year-old Nushawn Williams who allegedly had sex with between 50 and 75 women without disclosing that he is HIV positive. Now, 11 of those women have been diagnosed with the deadly disease. Because of this HIV privacy laws are being closely examined by health officials and the general public. The Chautauqua County health commissioner released Williams' name to the media ,and many health officials are saying this was a violation of his rights. What about the rights Williams violated?The current HIV privacy laws say that the only responsibility health workers have is to tell people who test positive for the disease that they should notify sex partners or needle-sharing partners that they've been exposed to HIV. Beyond this, health workers have no obligation and neither do those diagnosed. Those diagnosed with HIV should be required to provide health officials with a list of names of their sex or needle-sharing partners so the health officials can ensure the exposed partners will be notified. Health officials argue that this would discourage people from being tested—that it would trample on privacy rights or generate false information. But, the health worker doesn't have to tell who the originally infected person is, they'll just let the person know they were exposed. Officials should also impose penalties on people who refuse to give a list or give false information. Maybe this could be a start in preventing another person like Williams from spreading HIV. On

Warnings prompt changes at Food Court By Mark A. Schneberger Staff Writer In response to warnings from health officials who said uncovered desserts in UCO's Food Court Express could cause salmonella poisoning, managers have begun cooling and covering the confections.
LETTERS
Reader disagrees with Vista editorial, dictionary / am writing this letter in regard to the article printed in The Vista on Oct. 28. I am very offended about the fact that human beings have not progressed enough to realize that words that degrade entire races of people have absolutely no business appearing in the dictionary. After reading this article, I looked up the `Nword.' The definition appears this way: "a black person," then as an afterthought states "usually taken to be offensive." The dictionary is a tool to define acceptable words in the English language, it is not a history book. Therefore, the appearance of this and other derogatory words in the dictionary validates their usage. There is no appropriate definition of such dehumanizing words unless the history of how they came about is included A as well. —Ronneal Walker UCO student
"We've been made aware of the concerns and corrected the way we handle the (confections)," said Rob Archuleta, Food Court manager. This week the pastries were placed in the refrigerated food cooler, near the milk and fruit items. They are available in individually wrapped pieces.
The desserts formerly sat uncovered at the front of the food court, near the cash registers and only inches away from passing students and staff. The placement exposed the items to the possibility of foodborne and environmental contaminants, health officials said.
"Consumers could get very sick from eating uncovered food," said Russ Morrison, senior environmental health specialist for the Oklahoma County Health Department. Cashier Debbie Lyles said the change has slowed dessert sales to a crawl. She said she used to sell "a pie or cake in a day or
more, but I only sold one piece of pie yesterday." Managers also moved the potatoe bar in response to health regulations regarding keeping items warm enough for safe consumption. The potatoes are available at the Pizza Gusta window and are no longer self-serve.

Fiber optics to light new campus sign By Phillip Roder
UCO will pay about $196,000 of the project and the Department of Transportation will fund $350,000 of the "Campus Trail" Hurd said. The campus trail will be approximately one mile long, and will include side parks complete with park benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, and lighting. The trail will begin at Second Street and Garland Godfrey Drive, from there it will wind over the southern part of the campus into the west side where it will lead to University Drive and Campbell Street intersection. The City of Edmond's master plan, if approved, will link their trails to UCO at Fink Park. Edmond would like to link a pathway from Mitch Park to the downtown area, through UCO, said Stacey Trumbo from the City of Edmond. The Campus Trail will be covered by high topped trees, and low shrubs, Hurd said.

he fiber optic technology that has enhanced the learning process in UCO classrooms will now enhance the beauty of the campus. Phase III of UCO's construction included pocket parks around campus, furnishings for the pocket parks, and underground irrigation systems for the areas. One of the last projects of Phase III is a new sign at Second Street and Garland Godfrey Drive. "The sign will be illuminated by fiber optic cables that can have the colors changed for things like special events, and holiday seasons. The fiber optic lights are a really nice addition to the sign, and are planned to be installed in several places around campus," said Scott Fairbairn of Howard Site Design, the company constructing the sign. "The area south of Broadway and Thirty-third Street is using this type of lights, and they really make the buildings more attractive," he said. Construction crews are working to complete the sign, and should finish in

Mike the Mailman UCO employee picks up friends, delivers smiles during 14-year career By Steven E. Wedel
Staff Writer
E
mmitt Smith may not always carry the football into the end zone, but one of his biggest fans, Mike Fenner, will always take what he's carrying right where it needs to be— and he almost never fumbles. Fenner, 40, has been delivering mail on the UCO campus for the last 14 years. He's a jolly man, easily recognized in his blue UCO shirt and black leather Dallas Cowboys cap. Delivering the mail has given him a chance to make a lot of friends. "I like about everybody here," Fenner said. "There's really no one I don't enjoy seeing." His job lets him slip in and out of offices in every building on campus, making friends as he delivers letters and packages. "I go from building to building, office to office, taking the mail and picking up what they have going," Fenner said. About a year after he started working for UCO, Fenner picked up one item and decided to keep it. Brenda Finney was working in the
Ashley. "She gives me quite a bit of trouble," Fenner chuckled. "So I like hanging around, playing with her." Family is important to Fenner. He said some of his best memories are from growing up on a farm near Spencer, Okla., playing ball and riding motorcycles with his brother. "He's younger than me, so I had to kick him around and keep him on the defensive all the time," Fenner said. After graduating from Star-Spencer High School, Fenner decided he was tired of country life and moved to Oklahoma City, though he still has a house in the country he keeps rented. Fenner went to Oscar Rose Junior College, called Rose State College today. He went to work for Coca-Cola as a delivery driver, but when offered a job at Mike Fenner, UCO mail carrier, makes his daily stop at the Central State University, Fenner took it Communications Building to deliver mail.

Free health screenings available to UCO employees By Mark A. Schneberger Staff Writer
U
CO employees concerned about maintaining good health, or those who simply want to save a few bucks on medical bills, are encouraged to attend this week's annual free health screening, said members of UCO's nursing department. The health screening will be 7 a.m.-12:30 p.m. today and tomorrow at the Coyner Health Science Building, located near the Computing Science Building. The screening will not be offered again this academic year.
Dr. Patricia Lagrow, UCO chairperson for the Association of Nursing, said the goal of the screening is to "educate employees about what is going on with their bodies in regard to their diets." The screenings are a battery of tests which help employees monitor their height and weight ratio, blood pressure, complete cholesterol levels, blood glucose level and other blood values. Nursing department faculty will administer the tests. Dr. Patricia Lagrow "I've seen employees come in for the past four years who have "It has really changed their used the tests to monitor their attitudes about living more life status," Lagrow said. (healthful) lives and helped them
modify their life styles." The tests are free to employees and their spouses who have selected HealthChoice as their primary insurance carrier. All other employees and spouses will be charged $20. Other lab tests such as the PSA test for prostate cancer and a complete thyroid profile can also be requested for an additional $20 and $10 respectively. Lagrow said low fees for the tests should be an enticing factor for all employees interested in undergoing the process. "All they have to do is compare the (on-campus) costs
to those they'd have to pay at a doctor's office, and it's easy to see why having it done here is better," she said. "It beats paying $80 or more for the same thing you can get for free or for $20." Because several of the tests require employees to fast 12-14 hours prior to blood drawing for an accurate reading, the nursing department will provide refreshments after the tests. Employees should bring a self-addressed campus envelope for campus mailing or a business-size self-addressed stamped envelope to have results mailed to their homes.

UCO's Creative Studies Writers' Institute hosts professional speakers on autobiographies Author to discuss autobiography use in fiction writing
Artist-in-residence will speak about storytelling sources
By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer
By Steven E. Wedel Staff Writer
n Saturday, the Creative Studies Writers' Institute (CSWI) will host UCO's 1997-98 artist-in-residence, Dr. Johnny Payne, in Pegasus Theater in the Liberal Arts Building at 10 a.m. Eric Bishop, CSWI president, said there will be refreshments available at 9:30 a.m. Payne's lecture is entitled "The Sources of Storytelling." He said he will discuss elements of autobiography in fiction writing. "A lot of people start with autobiography," Payne said. "I've used my own experiences in my writing, along with archival research. "I want to talk about the different places to draw material and inspiration to tell the story," he said. Kentuckiana, Payne's most recent novel, was just released by Northwestern University Press. Payne taught at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.- for seven years before coming to UCO. He has also given lectures about American poetry at the U.S. Embassy in Peru. Payne's first novel was Chalk Lake, published earlier this year. His next novel is called Baja, and he is working on a new book titled Dope. His class at UCO is called Fiction Experience. He said

Eric Bishop, CSWI president, said the number of books straddling the line between fiction and autobiography make this a current issue. Skeen is a faculty member of the English department of Michigan State University. She has published several volumes of poetry, including Portraits and Each Hand A Map. Other poems by Skeen have appeared in periodicals and anthologies such as Ploughshares, Kansas Women Writers and The Atlanta Review. Short stories written by Skeen have been published in various journals and anthologies, including, Ghost Ranch Journal and The Romantic Naiad. Skeen has also contributed chapters to several more volumes of non-fiction and has won numerous honors and awards. Unlike most CSWI meetings there will be no admission charge to non-members. OD

I like seeing the changes on campus, seeing the school grow." Though he likes his job, Fenner believes in the American dream of owning his own business, times two. "There's a couple of businesses I've been thinking about," he said. "My wife and I are thinking about a daycare business. My wife's a teacher now, she likes kids and we think there's good money in it. I think I could help her and we could be together and help each other out." Fenner also works part-time for a local janitorial service, cleaning office buildings in the evenings. He said he is interested in starting a similar business for himself.

Fenner seems willing to do the work. He drives himself to do the best job he can and feels he has let himself and his employer down if he can find fault with some aspect of his performance. "I consider it a good day or week if I don't have to go back and do something over again," he said. "It kind of aggravates

I like it at the end of the day or at the end of the week when I can look back and say I kicked butt." "Mike's always been interested in taking care of people's needs," said Arthur Robinson, director of the University Center. "I think everybody on campus likes Mike." People along Fenner's route confirm what Robinson said. "Mike's my buddy," said Nancy Brown, secretary for The Vista. "We always talk about the Cowboys and he's always got something good to say, even when Dallas loses." "I just try to treat everybody nice," Fenner said. "I try to treat them the way I want to be treated. I've always dealt with nice people here, and it's important to me that there's not too many places where I don't want to go back."
Flu shots protect not infect, say health professionals By Penny Hubbard Student Writer our body aches, your head hurts and there is no way you can get out of bed this morning. You just got your flu shot, but you now have the flu. Many people experience flulike symptoms, or even the flu after getting their yearly flu shot, but experts say one doesn't cause the other. "Occasionally you'll have a tired feeling after the shot, but any flu-like symptoms are usually coincidental," said Labetta Wallenmeyer, Director of Student Health Services. Despite the rumors, a person can not get the flu from the vaccine itself, states information provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Every year scientists develop a new vaccine using inactivated (killed) influenza viruses. About 10 years ago people might have been able to get a
y
mild case of the flu because the shots given used live viruses, but now the viruses are killed, said Wallenmeyer. The vaccine is based on strains of the flu in circulation as well as the common A and B viruses expected to circulate each winter. Even when a person has been inoculated with this vaccine, a new strain of flu may have broken out that is not included
in the shot, and the flu results, according to the department. Another reason people still get the flu even after inoculation is the antibodies in the vaccine may not have taken effect in the person before he was exposed to the virus. The dead virus takes approximately two weeks to begin to protect the individual. If, during that time he is exposed to the flu virus, he may contract the disease. The National Institute of llonday Night Football %1' I'(
Allergy and Infectious Disease reports that there are side effects from the flu shot itself, but they are not actually the flu. The effects include a sore spot on the arm where the shot was given, tiredness and possibly a fever.
The prime time to get a shot is from mid October through early November. Any later and it may be too late to protect the individual from the virus, any sooner and the shot may not last the entire flu season, said Wallenmeyer.

National magazine publishes UCO student's thesis By Jim Hulsey
Staff Writer
D
iane Jones, UCO funeral service senior and member of Sigma Pi Sigma honor society of physics, turned her interest in molecular and archeological biology into a 50-page thesis, published last month in a national magazine. "Ms. Jones is the first undergraduate student in the history of the department (funeral services) to be se cted for publication in a national periodical," said Dr. Kenneth Curl, chairperson and professor of Funeral Services. "I'm thrilled to have one of UCO's students published in this journal." Her undergraduate research in biology
will be printed in the Journal of Funeral Service Education. The article entitled "Molecular and Archaeological Biology: Ancient and Modern Human Remain Preservation, Burial Rituals and Processes, and Extraction of Mitochondrial DNA from Disinterred Human Remains." The publication is distributed to the 44 funeral science programs in the nation and currently has a select circulation among educators, said Curl.

UCO art group sponsors bus trip to Fort Worth museums this month he Art and Design Group of UCO is sponsoring a museum bus trip to Fort Worth, Texas on Nov. 22. The trip will include an opportunity to view Impressionist and Modern works from a private Swiss collection, as well as African art and works by George Bazelitz. The trip includes access to three different museums; the Kimbell Art Museum, the Amon Carter Museum, and the Modern Art Museum, Dr. William Hommel, art department professor, said he is personally looking forward to the African art from the Belgian Museum of Central Africa. Hommel describes the works of George Bazelitz as very expressionistic, and said it should be an interesting show. There will also be works by such artists as Gauguin, and many of the works would be ones that "people would recognize," said Hommel. On Nov. 22, the bus is scheduled to leave at 7 a.m. from the Department of Public Safety parking lot, and will return at about 10 p.m. In order to sign up for the trip, payment of the $20 transportation fee is due by Nov. 12.

or the past several years, Dr. William Hommel, art department professor, has sponsored a summer trip to a foreign country to experience its art and culture. Past trips include journeys to countries such as Italy, Greece, and Spain. Dr. Hommel is now sponsoring a trip to Egypt May 18-27, 1998. Highlights of the trip will include the Egyptian pyramids, touring the Bazaar, and visiting the Egyptian Museum, said Hommel. The price for the trip is $2,262 for people under 25 and $2692 for people 25 and over and these prices determine accommodations. Hommel explained that the price for people under 25 means there will be three or four people in a room. The price for those 25 and over provides for two people in a room. A person

"When Dr. Curl took a significant interest in my work and approached me about publication, I was astonished," said Jones. "I am most grateful for Dr. Curl's support and confidence in my abilities." Curl was especially helpful when the publishers requested the work be edited down to 15 pages, said Jones. Jones is completing another project concerning "synthetic chemical contamination"—the exposure to manmade chemicals and its affects on wildlife and human populations. She said she plans to submit the research for publication at the end of the year. Jones has been serving an apprenticeship with Bill Eisenhour Funeral Homes, Inc. in Oklahoma City, for the past seven months.

Prices include transportation, hotels, an overnight train to Aswan, a four-night Nile cruise, three meals a day while on the cruise, and two meals a day the rest of the trip. A $90 fee is due at the time of registration. One month later another $400 is due. The rest of the balance is due 90 days before departure, said Hommel. Registration is now underway and is not limited to students, said Hommel. Anyone interested may register for the trip. Graduate or undergraduate credit of two hours is being offered for the trip. A paper about works of art seen in Egypt is the requirement, said Hommel. For information, call Hommel at 3412980 Ext. 5202.

`Revealing' retro Boogie Nights takes stylish, authentic look at '70s adult film industry By Brian Kyle Student Writer
L
eaving the theater after seeing Boogie Nights, I realized that I had two opinions of the new film from director Paul Thomas Anderson. Boogie Nights is a cinematic masterpiece, graced with a flawless cast and some of the most stylish and dazzling footage seen in any American film in the past few years. It is also a brutally frank and sexually explicit look at our country's questionable moral values and fame-at-any-cost attitude, not intended for mainstream audiences. Boogie Nights is an authentic snapshot into the adult film industry of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Burt Reynolds plays Jack Horner, a big-time porno producer, who discovers a bright young star in Eddie Adams, played superbly by Mark Wahlberg (of Marky Mark fame). Adams, who changes his name to the much sexier Dirk Diggler, has a special asset that makes him an instant superstar. Dirk, who seemed somewhat of a social outcast at the beginning seems right at home with his new occupation. "Everyone has one special thing," Dirk proclaims in reference to his magnificent manhood. The Entire first half of Boogie Nights .s about the communal bonds that form between Dirk and Jack's extended porno family. .julianne Moore plays Amber
enough violence, skin, and drug use to put a smile on the mug of any "indie" movie fan. Although I thought that Boogie Nights was one of the best movies I have ever seen, I can't recommend it to the great unwashed masses. This is, after all, Oklahoma; and The Tin Drum is still banned around these parts. If your weekly dose of NYPD Blue has you squirming in your seat, save your money. There are some scenes that are very hard to watch. One scene in particular stands out. Without giving too much away, it involves a drug deal gone awry and a little Asian man with a handful of firecrackers. Overall, I thought Boogie Nights was a great film that lived up to all the hype. I highly recommend it to anyone that has 2 1/2 hours of time on their hands and a hell of an open mind. Oh, and ladies, if you rushed to see The Full Monty this fall Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg) awaits the announcement of the best actor award during the Second Annual Adult Film Awards with his mentor Jack Homer (Burt Reynolds). and came away disappointed, look no further.

Bronchos in "must win" situation By Chad Wiliming Sports Editor Heading into the final two weeks of the '97 football season the Central Oklahoma football team finds themselves looking up in the conference standings for the first time. After Saturday's 33-17 loss to Southwestern, the Bronchos are tied with Southwestern for second place in the Lone Star Conference North Division standings with a 3-1 record. Northeastern leads the LSC North with a 4-1 record. A win over last place Southeastern this weekend in Durant would set up a matchup for the North Division crown against Northeastern Nov. 15, in the Bronchos final home game of the season. Coming into Saturday's game the Savages are currently in last place in LSC play with a 0-4 division record. Central Oklahoma holds a 43-12-2 series advantage over Southeastern. UCO defeated the Savages, 14-7, in their last meeting in 1990. In order for the UCO-Northeastern matchup to be for the division title, the Bronchos must get some help from division rivals East Central and Harding. Central Oklahoma needs either winless East
Central, or Harding, 4-4, to give Southwestern their second divison loss. If the Bronchos and Southwestern both win out and finish with 5-1 conference records, the title would go to Southwestern due to head to head competition. Northeastern plays their final non-conferecne game of the season Saturday against Southern Arkansas before traveling to Edmond to play the UCO Nv. 15. The Bronchos also find themselves out of the NCAA Division II football poll for the first time in eighteen weeks. Dating back to the second week of the 1996 season. After Saturday's loss to Southwestern, the Bronchos dropped out of the poll after being ranked tenth for the second straight week. Saturday's loss to Southeastern also ended three streaks. UCO' consecutive game winnning streak on the season was ended at six while their home winning streak end at 11. Junior running back Ryan Logan gave the Bronchos their seventh 100-yard rusher of the season gaining 103 yards in a losing effort. Previously the Bronchos were 6-0 when they had a back with over 100 yards. Kickoff for the Southeastern game is set for 2 p.m. Saturday at Paul Lewis field in Durant.

Broncho hoopsters to play Slovakia Defending Lone Star Conference champion Central Oklahoma will hold its final tune-up for the 1997-98 season Sunday, Nov. 9, when the Bronchos host the Slovakia Select Team in an exhibition game. Tip-off is 2 p.m. at Hamilton Field House and admission is free. UCO, ranked 13th in the pre-season poll by Division II Bulletin, has five players back from last year's 24-5 team that won the LSC regular-season and tournament titles en route to qualifying for the NCAA Division II national tournament for the fourth time in seven years. The Bronchos are the unanimous pick to win the inaugural LSC North Division championship this season. Leading UCO's returnees is second-team All-LSC senior guard Joe Newton, who averaged 18.0 points a game last season. Senior forward Michael Mims averaged
13.4 points and 6.0 rebounds and junior guard David Factor averaged 7.0 and 4.4 assists while starting every game last year. The Bronchos held their annual Bronze-Blue intrasquad scrimmage on Oct. 28 with Newton and junior forward Eddie Robinson leading the Bronze to a 123-93 victory. Robinson, a 6-8 junior colege from Brown Mackie (Texas), had 41 points, 13 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots, while Newton added 32 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds.

Cloning issues, abortion issues related
B
ased upon their success with a frog, scientists in England say they will be able to clone humans for the harvest of organs in about 10 years. One catch—the clones won't have heads. According to the articles I've read, the clone would have a circulatory system, a heart, and the internal organs intended for harvest. Supposedly, not putting a head on the clones will bypass the ethical problem of creating living beings to be slaves or organ factories because, without heads, they aren't really alive. In a legal sense, life is determined by brain activity. If there is no brain activity, there is no life. So, if a doctor ruins a clone trying to remove a kidney for an operation, it's no worse than tearing the box trying to get to the Crackerjack prize.
British law adds another interesting twist to the whole situation. The frog mutation created by the scientists had to be destroyed before it was a week old—after one week, it was considered alive, head or no head. The U.S. currently has no laws governing non-human cloning, but it can be assumed such laws, when created, will be similar to those of England. I contend that this plan to clone human body parts will force us to re-evaluate a very controversial topic in our society—abortion. A fetus has brain activity. So, if clones are not alive because they don't, it follows that an unborn child is alive because it does have brain activity. Almost never is a human pregnancy detected and verified in less than a week. So, if the human fetus lives past a week, it
must be determined to be alive, just like the headless frog, with at least as much right to remain alive. Since the fetus has brain activity and is more than one week old, a doctor who destroys a human life in an abortion should now be charged with murder. We cannot say the clones are living humans because we will not condone creating a living species to be slaves, even slaves of science. I say legal definitions are not really the criteria we're using to make dtermine life. With no head, we don't have to look the clone in the eye and tell it we're going to kill it to harvest its organs. That's the same reason we can justify killing the unborn—we can't really see them. They're usually nothing more than a positive sign on a home
pregnancy test strip. They can be removed and disposed of like a tumor, or tonsils gone bad. We have legislators and abortion rights people who believe we should allow partialbirth abortions—the kind where the baby is out except for the head. But, let the head slip out and suddenly you have a real person and it can no longer be killed. Why? It's only a matter of seconds between the womb and the doctor's hands. But if we can't see the head, we can pretend it isn't there. Forget brain activity and heartbeats. Forget legal and scientific explanations. The criteria we're really using to determine if something is a living being or a tissue mass is the face. A face humanizes the victim of our actions. We are a society of cowards, willing to kill those

who cannot voice opposition to our will, those we cannot see. I believe we will have advocates claiming rights for clones. Whether or not the clone advocates will fare better than the pro-life defenders of today remains to be seen. I just want to know how we'll explain our actions when we decide to start harvesting eyeballs from the clones?

`Kick the National Debt' contest set for UCO halftime By Yulia Mineeva Student Writer CO's Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) will join with the Southeastern Oklahoma State University SIFE chapter to sponsor a $1000 "Kick the National Debt" contest on Nov. 8 during halftime at the UCO Southeastern football game. UCO SIFE members are selling tickets for $1 to get a chance to kick a football from the 35-yard line through the goal post. Kicking a field goal will be symbolic of kicking the national debt, said Dr. Billye Hansen, SIFE advisor and associate professor of general business. The purpose of SIFE is to educate the public about the national debt, which is now $5.4 trillion. SIFE will have balloons released at the kick-off and inside each of them will be a message about the national debt or social security reform. The game will start at 2 p.m. at the Southeastern Oklahoma State University's football stadium. UCO students interested in participating and riding with the SIFE team are welcome to come. The departure to Durant will be at 7:30 a.m. from the Thacher Hall parking lot. For more information, call Hansen at 341-2980, Ext. 2483. 4D
