America not too healthy WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The American Public Health Association says the United States lags behind other developed nations in public health with Arkansas bringing up the rear. "State governments across the country are cutting back on basic services, due in part to reduced federal support and a depressed economy," the organization said. The study listed Arkansas as the only state whose public health was ranked as consistently poor. The report considered such factors as access to care, environment, behavior, education, poverty and government spending. States scoring well in the report card included Hawaii, Maryland, New York, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. "Given the nation's poor performance in public health relative to other developed countries, however, even the highest ranking states may take little satisfaction in their performance," the organization said in its report.

Unsheltered faces By Tami Watson Staff Writer Homelessness, once a topic of great concern, has been pushed to the wayside. By ignoring the topic, the American public hoped the problem would go away. But it hasn't. In fact, it's getting worse, said Eugene Daniels, homeless representative within the Department of Human Services.

THE PROBLEM "Homelessness is slowly increasing due to the economy and other factors," said Daniels. Poverty due to the bad economy is the No. 1 factor, but the increase in the number of single-parent families, lack of affordable housing and high health care costs also add to the problem, said Daniels. "High health care costs can cause the wage earner of the home to lose a job," said Daniels. "Affordable housing is also a big problem. Oklahoma doesn't have a problem with available housing, like many states do; there is just not a large amount of affordable housing available." Daniels said the economy has also resulted in a decrease in donations to shelters and missions for the homeless. "Funding is always a problem," he said. "People want to help, but they can't. It's a domino effect." Christine Byrd, program developer for the Jesus House said the poor economy has hurt the five Oklahoma City area shelters that she supervises. "We have increasingly seen less funding from private donations," she said.

HOW THEY ARE FUNDED

Seniors keep growing WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A new Census Bureau study takes a look at the graying of America. The 1990 Census counted 31 million people aged 65 and over. Government projections indicate that group could reach 68 million or more by the middle of the next century. Better medical care has sharply increased the share of the population that reaches old age.

A survey taken last year by the DHS shows that most shelters in Oklahoma receive the majority of their money from churches. "We sent the survey to 106 shelters and 77 of them responded," said Daniels. According to the survey results, the shelters said they received 64 percent of their funding from church donations. "The majority of funding does come from churches. But, churches are also feeling the pinch of the economy. That means less donations from the largest donors," said Daniels.

WHAT'S BEING DONE DHS is currently looking for ways to provide low income housing, said Daniels. "We have also created task forces to better coordinate ways to provide more for less," he said. With the recent election of a new president, there is a chance of improvement in the economy. But if it doesn't get better, things are going to keep getting worse, said Daniels. "If we don't do better (receive more funds) and if the economy doesn't improve, we will see more struggling," said Daniels. "It will just keep getting worse." Photos by Mike Simons

Vanishing people •Season bring to mind the homeless — but afterward do the people disappear? She pushes her metal-mangled cart down the side alley, her glasses tilted on her face since one earpiece is broken. Her "Mary Poppins" t-shirt shows through under her dingy use-tobe white sweatshirt jacket. Her hair is being drenched by the sudden downpour and her generic, dirty ,white canvas tennis shoes are soaked, but that doesn't matter. She has a job to do. "I hate to do it, but it's the only way I can get a little bit of money," she says, with an optimistic, but sad chuckle lodged in her throat. She collects her aluminum cans — her collection includes Diet Coke cans, Barg's root beer cans and Sprite cans. In her clear plastic bags she takes them down farther to the recycling center. Maybe she'll eat tonight — but rnaybe she won't. In the part of downtown Oklahoma City most people try to avoid, live the people who live from shelter to shelter. Most homeless, some unemployed. They meander in and out of the Jesus House and from underneath doorways in old vacant office buildings and warehouses. Peddling any goods they can or collecting aluminum cans for money, they spend most of their time wandering the side streets of the city — unnoticed by the hectic downtown commuters. Most people try to forget about these people — put them out of their minds — except during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Though they may not be on the top of most people's list for what-to-do-to-get-ready-for-the-holidays list, it probably crosses everyone's mind to give a can of food or a few nickles and dimes to the homeless shelters, to the churches or to the Salvation Army people who ring the tiny bells. But why does it only cross people's minds for two months out of 12 months each year? These people exist all the time, even though Oklahomans seem to cast them aside for most of the year. More than 31,000 Oklahomans alone have been counted as homeless — and more continue to be uncounted. The numbers are rising with the latest economic recession. And funding is being cut to the state-run shelters because of the increasing shortage of funds. More and more people are being left homeless and less and less funds are available to help them. With all the food drives and the donations being collected for the people during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons — after the holidays don't forget these people.

Musical representation lacking

his letter is in regard to the entertainment department of The Vista. I hope I don't cause too much of a commotion in the old journalism department, but The Vista is a collegiate paper. Since it is a paper affiliated with a university, it seems its articles should serve, or be directed at its reader's interests. I don't know if anyone in room 107 is aware of this, but there is a strong part of the music world that is classified as "alternative," "progressive" or "college" music. There is even a "college radio" chart that depicts the popularity of certain music in "college radio." I'm not only talking about Nirvana, The Red Hot Chili Peppers or Pearl Jam either. There's more to it than that.

Let's take a look at a small sample of what The Vista has failed to review this year: 1. The Flaming Lips – "Hit to Death in the Future Head." They're a great band from Oklahoma on its Warner Brothers debut. 2. The Chainsaw Kittens – "Flipped Out in Singapore " Another band from Oklahoma on its first release for Mammoth Records. 3. Sonic Youth – "Dirty. Another incredible release from one of the pioneers of alternative music. 4. The Beastie Boys – "Check Your Head." A critically acclaimed release, and one of the

best albums of the year. What does the entertainment editor of The Vista think about these albums? Who knows? She's too busy writing so-called reviews of Rolling Stone magazine to concentrate on some really good new music. Come on people, there's more out there than Garth Brooks, Mr. Big and M.C. Hammer. There are some artists who are breaking new ground in musical technique. There are some artists who have3 more to say than "I'm in love, and gee, I love Pepsi!" Why don't you get someone on the staff who knows what's going on, and listens to something besides KJ 103? Brian Houston

Clinton wrong choice T

he votes have been counted and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton will soon be inaugurated into the highest position an elected official can obtain. As registered voters, we have just given the liberal Congress a liberal president and to borrow a Biblical phrase,"Forgive them, for they know not what they've done." Arkansas will soon share the secret of their well-known success with the rest of us. Were the tears in Arkansas from people upset about losing their governor — or were they tears of joy? A CNN/USA today poll revealed creating new jobs as one of the people's most important issues. Someone needs to explain to voters that presidents have very little influence in creating jobs. Private businessmen create the

new jobs. Economic growth comes from the entrepreneurs. Of course, Clinton took credit for the jobs created in Arkansas. We could give Sam Walton some credit — but of course, he's not a politician. And Clinton bragged about the improvements in the Arkansas school system. They couldn't get much worse than 50th. Clinton says he wants to cut defense spending. When Clinton makes defense cuts, many more Americans will stand in the unemployment line. Military officers may soon be pursuing different careers. The citizens of the U.S. have elected, by an overwhelming margin, someone who has dodged the draft, and they are proud of their

decision. We have sent a message

to young people revealing that character doesn't matter when electing the leader of a country. While our closest friends and relatives were fighting to the death in Vietnam, this man was passing out flowers in the Soviet Union. In time, we will have to support the new president, because he was elected by a majority of the U.S. population and we should respect the political process. But, in '96 it is important for registered voters to remember, if voters want real change don't draw the attention to the presidential elections, but to the House and Senate elections. Student Voice

Berlin Wall crumbles and communism By Michele Soh

Staff Writer A day of new beginnings — Nov. 9. On this day, 101 years ago, the University of Central Oklahoma began classes. On this day, three years ago, the Berlin Wall came crashing down. The Wall, a symbol of the Cold War; its collapse, a bench mark to the end of the Cold War. The Cold War is over between the former Soviet Union and the United States of America, said

UCO Professor of Political Science, Dr. Louis Furmanski. Democracy and capitalism won the Cold War, said Dr. Ron Beeson, another UCO political science professor. It is egotistic and egocentric to keep insisting the Americans won the Cold War, Beeson said. Countries like West Germany, England and Japan have all contributed to bring the Cold War to an end; it is just that the U.S. has always been in the forefront, said Beeson.

Following closely on the heels of the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War is the dismemberment of the former Soviet Union; all three events mark the demise of communism. But the Cold War still grinds on for several countries. One of the most bitter disputes between Tokyo and Moscow is the claim to a string of desolate islands north of Japan. Lingering remnants from the Cold War era, relations

between Tokyo and Moscow are as bad now as they were then, reported "Newsweek." Without economic and military aid from the Soviet Union and crippled by the U.S. trade embargo, Fidel Castro's communist regime in Cuba is fighting for its life. Awash with arms, Cuba is feeling the repercussions of the thawing of the Cold War, said Furmanski. Furmanski said for now, China and North Korea have managed to isolate themselves

from the effects of the melting of the Cold War. China may be able to adapt itself in the future, especially as it has not been close to the Soviet Union, continued Furmanski. Another reminder of the Cold War is the increased level of militarization around the world, said Furmanski. Many third world countries have received arms from the U.S. or the former U.S.S.R as the two superpowers struggle for control.

Famines, fighting contribute to devastation By Michele Soh

Staff Writer

•

From the leadership of a tyrannical dictator to anarchy and chaos, the people of Somalia seem to have always been the victims. The devastating effects of drought-caused famines and constant fighting due to clan feuds have reduced Somalia to mere survival. At the top of their needs list to survive is food. Taken for granted by many, food is desperately needed in Somalia. Relief workers estimate that several thousand Somalis are dying of hunger everyday and 4.5 million of Somalia's 6 million people need help. "Truly a hell on earth" was how Dr. John George, a University of Central Oklahoma political science professor, described the situation in Somalia. A Somali, Mohamed J. Essa, agreed that the situation is terrible. He said no food can be found, especially in the faminestricken southern region of Hawiye. Last month, the United Nations (U.N.) sent 500 troops to Mogadishu, capital of Somalia. The troops' mission is to protect ports and distribute food within the city.

Another 3,000 troops are expected to arrive in Somalia to protect other entry points for relief food. Previously, aid sent by the International Committee of the Red Cross, U.N. World Food Programme and other agencies were regularly looted. Young men who were supposed to be security teams at the docks and airport, would steal the shipments. Food on route to distribution centers in the city are routinely looted by its escorts: Men in jeeps armed with assault rifles and roof-mounted anti-aircraft guns. Somalia, a country in extreme East Africa, is bordered by Ethiopia, Kenya and the Indian Ocean. Most Somalis are Sunni Muslim and they speak the same language, so Somalia should be less divided than other African countries. But Somali clans have always fought over food, pasture and ultimately control of the land. In January 1991, the 21-year reign of dictator Mohamed Siad Bane, ended violently when the rebels of the United Somali Congress (USC) marched into Mogadishu and the city's inhabitants rose in revolt. Siad Barre was "a nasty, terrible dictator, sort of a Muslim Marxist," said George.

"He writes his own constitution" for the best interests of himself and his family, said Essa, who lived in Somalia until three years ago when he moved to the United States. After the overthrow of one of the worst dictatorships in more than 20 years, the situation in Somalia has degenerated even further, said George. Siad Bane had suppressed warfare with the harshest repression possible, played clan against clan, warlord against warlord. Now, clans fight for power amongst themselves. In November 1991, fighting broke out between two rival subclans, both belonging to the same Hawiye tribe. Mogadishu, a city of 1.2 million people, was divided into north and south. The northern part of the city controlled by Ali Mandi Mohamed, Somalia's "interim president" and the southern part of the city by Gem Mohamed Farah Aydeed, leader of USC. Aydeed claimed he deserved the presidency of Somalia and not Mohamed, a businessman. There was no central government, lawlessness reigned in Somalia, everybody doing their own thing, no one in control. George painted a dismaying picture of Somalia where the

ancient tribal tradition of female circumcision is still practiced. He describes the scene where young boys, who have just reached puberty, in groups of 400 or 500, walk to another village, miles away, just to keep from being recruited into one of Somalia's private armies. On Feb. 14 of this year, a ceasefire between the two warlords was arranged by the U.N. The ceasefire is holding for now. But it is shaky. Somalia has six main clans and uncounted sub-clans — the possibilities of fighting are endless. George sees no solution to the catastrophe Somalia is in, not with its "excessive population growth, incredible drought, political corruption" and a couple of authoritarian men who want absolute control. Although Essa's family lives in a region relatively untouched by the famine and fighting, he has had relatives killed in the civil war. Essa, who is now a U.S. citizen, said taking out all the guns in Somalia, from the hands of men, women and even children could bring peace to Somalia. The country is awash with weapons provided by both the U.S. and the former Soviet

Union, contibuting to Somalia's national suicide. These weapons were given to Somalia by the two superpowers when they were struggling for control of the Horn of Africa. Send in U.N. troops to help, increase Red Cross aid, said Essa, who is studying finance at UCO. Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs, John R. Bolten said the U.S. is the largest single contributor of relief aid for Somalia, providing more than $60 million in emergency assistance since early 1991. Relief workers, the commander of U.N. troops in Somalia, Pakistani Brig. Gen. Imtiaz Shaheen and Somali warlords can agree that Somalia will eventually have to solve its own problems. For now, the rest of the world can only send more food, medicine, doctors, tents and if necessary troops. Somalia is a country dependent on the outside world for its survival. In an article for "Newsweek," Jeffrey Bartholet suggested a tempting answer to Somalia's problems is intervention for humanitarian reasons, taking "precedence over traditional notions of sovereignty."

Deliere moved to Oklahoma in August 1975 to accept a position as an assistant professor of health administration at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. This same year he also began a career in entrepreneurship by starting a management consulting company. "I'm a hands-on manager, more of an entrepreneur," he said. He enjoys starting a business and nurturing its success, then selling it. This can be a lucrative method, bringing prices 2.5-to-4 times the company's gross sales. Some of the businesses he managed successfully before the sale failed after it. A new owner can wreck an establishment quickly "because they can't establish rapport with customers." Deliere's current consultant company, Professional Association Managers, has existed in Oklahoma City since 1987. By keeping resumes and names of professionals on file, he is able to supply organizations with personnel for troubleshooting. Planning, training and management are just some of their functions. Perhaps this business is

successful because others live by the same advice Deliere gives for prospective entrepreneurs and managers: "You have to know when to hire outside help." Deliere left OU in August 1982 to work as an assistant professor of management at Oklahoma City University. He taught there through 1984 when he began a six year hiatus from teaching to pursue entrepreneurship. In this period he started and sold a gourmet coffee store in Edmond, The Coffee Mill, Inc. He also developed five successful office building sandwich shops, called Take Ten, in the Oklahoma City metro area. One of his two sons owns a pair of them now. In addition to these businesses and the management consultant company, he owned a gourmet cooking store called Applefields, which he sold in 1982. One of Deliere's greatest passions is cooking. His latest venture is a joint one with his wife of 41 years, Antoinette. Together they are compiling a gourmet cookbook which caters to the everyday cook rather than the accomplished chef.

Management has filled his life in work as well as play. This experience conveys wisdom in the classroom, a classroom inside which there is nothing he would rather teach than management. He believes a manager's greatest virtues are honesty and integrity. When asked what the one thing was he wanted his students to learn about management, he said: "To question every decision. Who am I benefitting and who am I harming?" Deliere enjoys management because he finds his sense of accomplishment in it. He acknowledges opportunity for authority as a legitimate reason for going into management, through he concedes it is not without drawbacks. "Power is a double-edged sword," he added. For management majors seeking jobs, he recommends researching prospective employer s before the interview. Plan on job offers being entry level positions. The job search should be executed efficiently. "Hire yourself a headhunter," he said, grinning, because he is that, too.

Spikers take second in Volleyfest By Justin Harper

Sports Editor

Prior to last weeks match versus Oral Roberts and The MissouriSt.Louis Volleyfest Tournament, the Central Oklahoma volleyball team's record stood at 18-14. However, after spiking ORU in three straight games and placing second in the tourney, with a 4-1 match record, the Lady Bronchos are now 23-15 and are three match-wins shy of breaking the school record for victories in a single season. In the tournament UCO beat Northern Kentucky, Southwest Baptist, Alaska-Fairbanks and Ashland before falling in the finals to host Missouri-St. Louis. Amy Parten, as usual, played outstanding, slamming 96 kills with an attack percentage of .338 in the six matches. Parten also added to more school records to her already lengthy list, taking over the top-spot in single-season kills with 580 and attacks with 1,428. Amy Hammond and Kristin Vincent also had superlative efforts in the six match span. Hammond had a .313 attack percentage, 32 kills and 19 blocks. Vincent added 37 kills and an attack percentage of .384. Vincent also contributed an amazing 31 blocks.

Harvest gains 3,000 cans for needy area families Twenty-one University of Central Oklahoma student organizations participated in the UCO Harvest Food Drive, an effort that collected nearly 3,000 canned food items, which will set on the tables of the less fortunate on Thanksgiving Day. The UCO Public Relations Student Society of America ;sponsored the event which ended Nov. 6. The cans were collected by the Oklahoma City Food Bank, a non-profit organization which distributes donated food to Oklahoma food providers. The bank will distribute the cans to 35 emergency food closets throughout the metro area.

Many of the canned items will be distributed to the Edmond Hope Center. "UCO Harvest" was one of the largest university contributors to the Oklahoma City Food Bank. The Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity and the Kappa Sigma sorority collected a combined total of 1,500 canned goods. Murdaugh Hall Council, East Hall Council and the Pi Sigma Alpha political science organization collected approximately five boxes of food. "We enjoyed taking part in the UCO Harvest. We always try

to do our part in helping others, who might not be as fortunate," said Tobey Simpson, president of Sigma Tau Gamma. The Harvest Food Drive has distributed more than 3.3 million pounds of food in the last nine years. All organizations that participated in the UCO Harvest can help build a can sculpture in the university's honor at Penn Square Mall. KWTV-9 is sponsoring the event scheduled for Nov. 14. For more information, call 359-9737, 340-5805 or 3484575.

Hope Center helps Edmondites By Bob Mamer Student Writer The Hope Center of Edmond is always looking for student volunteers, said Amy Hann, center director. A social service organization, the Hope Center was started by 32 churches that pledge money and have food drives to support it, Hann said. The center, also run by four part-time employees and 150 volunteers, has an annual budget of $350,000. It receives one-third of funds from churches, one-third from private contributors and some from local businesses. Clients of the Hope Center

usually must be at or below food stamp cut-off income level. Clients also must complete a plan of action to improve their situation, such as job hunting or financial counseling. "It is really satisfying when you can help someone," said Hann. The center started a general medical clinic in 1990 operated by doctors and nurses who volunteer their time. "Of all the people that come to the center, 75 percent are young women with children," said Hann. The center met over 7,000 requests for help last year, said Hann.

Jerry Ellis, author of the book "Walking the Trail — One Man's Journey Along the Trail of Tears," will speak at the Creative Studies Writer's Institute meeting from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., Nov. 14 in room 206 of Old North. Ellis attended the University of Central Oklahoma during the early 1970s. He discovered his interest in writing when he met the woman who would become

his wife. He said when he was writing poems to her he realized a lot of the things he felt could be communicated through words. Ellis said the idea for "Walking the Trail" began when he was a script writer in Hollywood. When Hollywood rejected a Cherokee script he had written, he decided to walk the Trail of Tears. The 900 mile journey was Ellis' effort to "honor the dead and celebrate the living," he said. Ellis will speak about how he wrote the book, how it was published and how to write
