s this our first life, or have we had many?

Questions like that one prompted nearly 150 people to attend "Reincarnation from different perspectives" Friday night. The panel discussion was sponsored by the Buddhist Learning International Student Society, the Oklahoma University Buddhist Association and UCO's Symposium of Philosophy. Each panel member presented a brief perspective on reincarnation then questions from the audience were entertained. Dr. Lee Basham, a UCO adjunct professor of philosophy, presented the Western view.

he whole is greater than the sum of its parts, so goes the old adage.

While maintaining individuality is important, sometimes joining together can bring a level of greatness that couldn't be achieved alone. Four student organizations illustrated that last week when they joined other groups for events. Mortar Board took the children of the Single Parents on Campus to the zoo for their service project. The Buddhist Learning International Student Society and the Symposium of Philosophy joined together to sponsor a panel discussion on reincarnation. By pooling their resources these groups were able to accomplish together something that could've never been accomplished alone. With our university's limited resources, UCO should be doing this as much as possible. When a need arises instead of looking off campus for someone to take care of it, we should look inward. If departments, colleges and offices worked together, those budget dollars might just stretch farther.

Student enjoys Entertainment Pages

. eing a reader and a fan of The New York Times, I found it astonishing that they too have an entertainment section. After reading last week's submission from UCO student, Soham Dhakal, apparently he hasn't taken the opportunity to read through the N.Y. Times or any of the world's more lofty, journalistic publications. According to Dhakal, all movies currently being released should receive some sort of rating, but not to have a whole

page devoted entirely to one movie. Some weeks, there are only one or two movies worthy of public appeal. With a proper illustration, good headline and the review itself, the page is easily filled. Dhakal thinks he's found a way to make The Vista a more enjoyable paper. He believes The Vista doesn't advertise about functions being held at UCO. Granted, The Vista doesn't always advertise functions around campus, but every week there appears this wonderful

section called "Around Campus". These are not advertisements, but they are a helpful well-written reminder of what's going on around UCO. Unfortunately, Dhakal has been living under a rock and America doesn't realize that society and the latter part of the 20th century has become a group of mush-minded, spoon-fed adolescents that require their entertainment visually instead of nestling down with a good book. —

True story brings discrimination closer to home

iscrimination is a sensitive issue in the United States. Nobody wants to talk about it, and everyone avoids touching the issue. But it does not mean that discrimination doesn't exist. In fact, it happens in society, and it happens on our campus. And what is far worse is when the public and the school does nothing to stop it. Maybe someday it will happen to you. Once upon a time (except this is not a fairy tale—it really happened), there were four international students, one Hispanic American and 18 white Americans who took an art class together in the summer of 1996. Now the strange thing was that while a penalty for late work was clearly stated in the syllabus, the only students who were actually subjected to the penalty were not white. "Of course not," you say, "that would be discrimination." However the professor of this class saw nothing wrong with

practicing this form of discrimination. This instructor also saw nothing wrong with showing discrimination both verbally and nonverbally. Also strangely enough, when a nonwhite student provided a doctor's and a hospital's note to explain an absence, the student's grade suffered. On the other hand, a white student who did not provide any excuse for an absence managed to retain the same grade. There were many more incidents that showed that this instructor has a double standard. The white students also noticed it and felt sorry for these non-white students. In an effort to find justice, these non-white students collected all the pieces of evidence that showed that discrimination had taken place. They even have video-tape proof. They spoke with the chairman of the Liberal Arts, the International Office and the

Equity Office. And they have been waiting for justice ever since. After five months of waiting and calling the equity officer, the only answer they have received is, "I will call you next week." (or next month) These students are very angry, dissapointed. at this unfair treatment and feeling helpless. Americans have always been proud of America being the land of freedom and justice. Too bad this concept of justice doesn't apply to all students who pay tuition fees to UCO. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is supposed to protect people from being discrifiliftaied against color, race or sex. UCO has a responsibility to see her employees follow the law. These students are asking for justice. They want an apology and a promise from the professor that this will never happen to any student again. —Philip Wong UCO student

Shafer, who was teamed with three children, said, "It was a blast," though he admitted he went straight to bed once he got home. "The little girl in my group chased the peacock all over the zoo." Shafer said one of the parents presented him with a personal thank-you note at the end of the day. "Everyone was thanking us. It left me with a warm feeling." •

REINCARNATION continued from front page

Western thought usually holds that once the body has died, the soul either ascends to heaven or is tortured in hell for eternity. Basham said reincarnation challenges the basic tenets of Western tradition. He cited a question from his mother as an example: If you think you have all these lives, then you might not work as hard in this life. Basham said with the world moving toward a monoculture there might be room to knit together Eastern and Western beliefs. "I think it might be a good thing. We might move toward a richer world faith," he said. Dr. Xiao Bing Li, assistant professor of history, presented the Eastern perspective on reincarnation. Li said the Chinese and the East don't have the problems with reincarnation that Westerners do. He said Western religions are more concerned with the outcome; "what's on the other side of the river." Eastern religions emphasize the process; "how to cross the river." Dr. F.C. Lai, advisor of the OU Buddhist Association, presented Buddhist views on reincarnation. Lai stood and said, "didn't we have this discussion in our previous life?" Which drew laughter from the diverse audience. He went on to explain the Buddhist view of perpetual repetition of birth and death from

the past through the present to the future. Lai said Buddhists believe we pass through six realms: hell, hungry spirit, animals, fight spirit, men and heaven. He said the way to end the repetition is through enlightenment. "There's always hope—you can change everything," he said. "You do it with your heart." Mr. Archaryulu Vedala, adjunct professor of foreign language, gave the Hindu perspective of reincarnation. He said Hindu philosophy revolves around the search for the soul, asking questions like "what is the soul?" and "what is reality?" Vedala pointed out that sometimes just a small difference in words can change the meaning of a belief. "Man is soul" has a different meaning than "man has soul." He said the first means when man dies, his soul dies. The second means when man dies, his soul goes on, Vedala said. He said one in four Americans believe in reincarnation. Frank Paige, president of the Symposium of Philosophy, organized the event with Chiuyoon Pang, president of the Buddhist Learning International Student Society. Panel members were unable to offer any scientific proof of reincarnation, but Lai summed up the answer with a quote from the movie Land Before Time. "Some things you see with your eyes and some things you see with your heart."

Proceeds from Carnival Night go to the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation, benefiting Diabetes research, education, children's diabetic camps and other Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation projects. "Last year's carnival was a great success. Our sorority raised over $2,000, and I hope to do that again this year," said Varner. Games at the carnival will include bingo, a football throw, musical chairs, a golf game and face painting. Various prizes have been donated by businesses throughout Edmond. All donations are welcome.

Deadline for SGA senator election set for Nov. 20 By Jessica Halliburton Staff Writer The Student Government Association (SGA) will hold its senator election Nov. 20 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the University Center Food Court. All interested candidates can pick up an application in the Senate Office, Room 424J of the University Center. The deadline for applications will be at the mandatory candidate's meeting Nov. 18 at 4 p.m. in the Senate Room, Room 422 of the University Center. SGA Vice President Sean Ridenour said requirements for undergraduates to run for senator are enrollment of at least six or more hours and an overall GPA of 2.0. Graduate students must be enrolled in at least three hours and hold an overall GPA of 2.0. All candidates must also be available at 12:40 p.m. every Monday for SGA meetings. Ridenour said waiting on the fate of SGA's new constitution is the cause for such short notice on the election. "We've waited as long as we could to h_ ave the election because the new constitution would have affected the way elections'were run," he said. SGA is still waiting for President George Nigh to make a decision on whether or not to allow its constitution to go to a student vote. "We've had to sit on the election because the administration has sat on the constitution," Ridenour said. He said hopefully there will be a higher voter turnout for the one-day election compared to last spring. "If we get more people involved we can show the administration that students do care and we're not as apathetic as they think."

Sex in a bottle...

A magic potion for our personal problems? By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer wanted to know if it was going to rain in the morning, so one night last week I stayed up to watch the news. That's when I discovered "Sex In A Bottle." The expensive vials of ground-up rhinoceros horns and beetle gonads were selling like wildfire, said the straightfaced news anchor. The stuff didn't work, she said, but people had been hawking similar potions since the days of snake-oil salesmen. Some things people just never learn, it seems. We're always looking for a shortcut when getting there is half the fun. We think we can go to McDonald's and buy a Happy Meal. That we can reach out and touch someone by dialing a number. We are such dummies for the next quick fix to come down the pike that we often miss the trip. Here is how it works. The moment Donald Walters, 28, approached the vitamin counter, the clerk had him pegged. I know what he wants and I'll give it to him, but I might as well have a little fun with him first, thought Jane, the clerk. Like all potentially embarrassing products, "Sex in A Bottle" was kept under the counter, so that customers had to ask for it. Donald shifted from one worked-out, muscled thigh to the other inside his knee-high Ralph Lauren denims. He kept adjusting the thin gold frames that slide down his nose. A mustache of minute sweat beads appeared on his clean-shaven chin. Donald was as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. He had good reason for his case of nerves, too, having just come from the

bookstore. If one is to understand the atmosphere of romantic kismet facing the American male today, one should peruse the relationship aisle at Barnes and Noble. Women can pick from titles such as How to Drive a Man Wild, 100 Guaranteed Ways to Meet A Rich Man and How to Marry a Man, Any Man You Pick, Whether or Not He Picks You Back. If things don't work out, she can refer to Throw the Bum Out, How to Survive the Loss of Love or Maybe He's Just A Jerk. Men, forced to enter the battleground armed only with Field and Stream or Sports Illustrated, may well feel that they just don't have a chance. Donald knew his mate felt something was very wrong with their relationship. All the signs were there: the "headaches," the long silences, the books on the night stand. Some women get carried away with their wish for instant rapport and bombard their poor guy with self-help mumbo jumbo. They say things like "I can tell you need to go off in your cave for awhile," in tones usually reserved for dull children. Donald's wife, Karen, was one of these women and he longed for the old days. Sex, like life, back then was good. They had told each other what they appreciated about the other and what would make them even happier in the relationship. They delighted in pleasing each other and in being pleased. And they forgave each other for the little flaws, because it wouldn't be life if it were perfect. Once, when Karen had locked the keys in her car, she called Donald to bail her out of the mess, mortified at the inconvenience to him because of her

stupidity. He brought her the extra set of keys and he gave her flowers. One day he surprised her by making the bed, unasked. When she saw the mismatched sheets and that he had left off the bedspread, she knew he was the man she wanted to wake up with for the rest of her life. The trouble started when they began to tell each other only their good dreams and never the nightmares. It started when they forgot that happy does not always mean easy. Donald was thinking about all this as the check-out girl smirked at him knowingly. His voice cracked, but he asked anyway. "I want Se- Se-Sex," he said. "I want Sex." Shi blinked at him, relishing her effect. "You want what?" He swallowed, made his voice a little deeper and looked her straight in the eye. "Look, do you have Sex In A Bottle or not?" People were staring at them now. The wide-eyed clerk deadpanned "No sir, do thought. The only thing worse than empty you?" before she grinned and sex is empty Sex In A Bottle. relinquished a bottle. He put on soft music and smiled a little Donald tossed two twenties on the as he made the bed with mismatched counter and fled with his prized jug of sheets and no bedspread.

College of UCO breaks into Business commercials to gets promote enrollment corporate advice By Rhonda Bowden

Student Writer

UCO's College of Business is holding its first annual business advisory board meeting Nov. 18 at the Business Building. Ten senior-level executives from around the county will be on campus all day, said Dr. David Harris, interim dean of the College of Business. The purpose is to get senior-level corporate advice for the business program, Harris said. "We might be thinking we are offering the most wonderful curriculum but if we're not educating the student to what they need...when they graduate we're doing a disservice to our students," Harris said. The first part of the day is designed for business students only. From 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Pegasus Theater, the executives will be giving short presentations addressing factors that they feel contributed to their success. The presentations are open to the public. Harris said this part of the day is open to the public because he thinks everyone can benefit from these executive success stories. At 4:40 p.m. the Human Resource Society is sponsoring Dorthey Billinglee, managing director of DHR International who will talk about the corporate executive search process. Harris plans for this to be an annual event. "What we're trying to do is to establish long-lasting relationships with local, national and international companies with the ultimate goal of benefiting our students." AtD

UCO is going somewhere it's never gone before—into commercials. The first television commercial ever produced to promote enrollment at UCO was filmed last week under the direction of the communications/publications department staff. The general theme of the television and radio ads is to emphasize the improvements and additions to the UCO campus. "What we are trying to do is to let people know that we do have these new, beautiful facilities at our school," said Linda Jones, director of communications/publications. Unlike the past, UCO needs to advertise now because of the need to compete for students, she said. Fewer graduating high school students, along with a relatively stable economy, has created a shortage in enrollment for most of

the major universities in Oklahoma. UCO is no exception, said Jones. Things were different as recently as five years ago. "In the past, we have never spent money on enrollment because we had more students than places to put them," said Jones. "But now that we have new facilities, new classrooms (and) new library resources, we no longer have the space problem that a we did a few years ago." President Nigh provided the voice-over for the spot, and the publications department staff, along with student workers, served as the talent in the television commercial. The commercial was shot by a local company, Frontier Outpost Film and Video, at various points of interest on campus: Broncho Lake, the Education building and the Library. The television and radio spots are scheduled to air on multiple media outlets at various times throughout November.

OU pounds UCO in wrestling opener By Richard Tortorelli Sports Writer NORMAN — The Central Oklahoma wrestling team opened their season with a 33-12 loss to Oklahoma, but UCO head coach David James was encouraged by four victories scored by his veterans and a rookie. UCO closed to within 10-9 early in the match on three straight victories, capped by 1996 national champion 150pounder Shawn Bateman. The Bronchos' other defending national champion, Mark Cunningham, scored

UCO's final victory, while freshman Gabe Sullivan got UCO on the board first. James said he knew his team, ranked second in NCAA Division H, would have to fight hard for wins, and each of the UCO victories were close matches. Meanwhile, OU, llthranked in Division I, got four pins and two routs in their wins for their high point total. "I was proud of our two leaders (Bateman and Cunningham)," said James. "They scrapped and outgutted their opponents. It was important for those guys just on selfpride."

NEXT GAME Saturday, Nov. 23 To Be Announced NCAA Division II Playoffs

Bateman and Rodney Jones engaged each other head-on to begin their bout. Jones opened the scoring with a takedown with 0:25 in the first period and held a 3-1 lead early in the second. Bateman came back with a reverse, flipping over his opponent as Jones tried to get the hold on him. Then Bateman scored back points for a 5-3 lead and a quick turnaround. With Bateman leading 6-5 in the fourth period, the overflow crowd of 1,742 filled OU Field House with noise. Jones went for Bateman's leg to try for the takedown, but Bateman defended himself to preserve the

victory. Cunningham wasted no time taking the lead in his match, getting a takedown only 24 seconds into the bout. His opponent Michael Roller fought back with the next five points. Roller had a 6-4 lead in the fourth period, getting an escape at 0:47 on the clock. With only 31 seconds left, Cunningham tied the score with a takedown to force overtime. Cunningham grasped Roller with 0:24 left in OT, but failed to score on him. The match went to sudden death, and Cunningham had to escape Roller's bear hug in 30 seconds to win the match.

Cunningham struggled free at 16 seconds to win a 7-6 decision. "I wish it wouldn't have come to that to win the match," Cunningham said. Sullivan, a two-time state champion at Bristow High School, won UCO's first match with a 8-5 decision over sophomore Bo Eubanks. Eubanks scored two takedowns in the fourth period to close within 7-5, but Sullivan used an escape to seal the victory. James said Sullivan faced a challenge taking on an experienced wrestler like Eubanks. See OU, Page 11

UCO athletes pass random drug testing By Joanna Hafey

test given by the NCAA, said Jeff McKibbin, Assistant Director of Athletics, Results have come back Fourteen players were chosen negative for the UCO athletes randomly for the test that detects who took the mandatory drug anabolic steroids, diuretics and Student Writer

masking agents. "Athletes are tested once a year, either in the fall or the spring, now some schools have been tested more than once, UCO tests only once though",

said McKibbin. The athletes must be notified prior to the test and must sign a consent form. They have the right to refuse but consequently will be held ineligible for one

year, said McKibbin. As site coordinator, McKibbin gets three people to give the test. Results come back from the lab two to three weeks later, said McKibbin.

"We knew when we recruited (Sullivan), we got a good one. We think Gabe as a freshman has a lot of potential and talent to be successful immediately, and that's why he's wrestling for us right now." OU held a 10-0 lead, then UCO won their three decisions to draw within a point. After Bateman's victory, OU's Byron Tucker pinned former Sooner Jody Marple for the match's winning points and a 16-9 lead. The Sooners, who finished 17th at last year's Division I national tournament, swept the final three matches. OU's defending 190-pound national champion John Kading pinned redshirt freshman Jerome Adams, who was one of six Bronchos making their UCO debut. James said that last year's team was better at the time of the last OU-UCO match, but this team won two more matches. "I'm encouraged. It's early, and we've got to move on and get ready for the season, and we've got to have some guys grow up."

New movie sets women apart from the crowd T

he role of black women has changed dramatically since the beginning of film. From the one-line comedic maid to four educated women who were "waiting to exhale." Finally, Thelma and Louise meets Boyz 'N' the Hood. In Set It Off, four black women find themselves "exhaling" all the way to the bank. Four childhood friends are tired of working in a system that took away their dreams and decide to take from the system. Cleo (Queen Latifah), Stony (Jada Pinkett), Frankie (Vivica A. Fox) and Tisean (Kimberly Elise) test their friendship and try to get out of the projects by robbing the banks of Los Angeles. Unlike previous films about African-American women, Set It Off shows the effect of tragedies that occur in "the hood" from the woman's point of view. Even though Set It Off is filmed from the women's perspective, men (such as Blair Underwood) are shown as supporters, brothers, robbers and schemers. The film is much deeper than

Unplanned Pregnancy? Scared? Alone? Confused?

We Can Help. Supporting your choice for parenthood, adoption or abortion

the bank robbing image shown in the television trailers. Four black women strived to work the system before turning to robbing. Due to a chain of tragic events, the women's means of reaching their goal of getting out of "the hood" changed. A child was taken from his parent, an only brother was killed by police officers, and a bank fired a teller because she didn't follow company procedure during a robbery. For two hours and fifteen minutes, Set It Off included all the emotions the human body can take. From laughter to tears, Set It Off will have audiences laughing, cheering and crying. The action scences in the movie are hard-hitting, dramatic and spiraling. F. Gary Gray did an excellent job on directing the film. Each scene was as believeable as the first. The wide view shots of the robbing and get-away scences added realism to the intriguing movie. Originally written by Takashi Bufford (House Party 3) in 1991, Hollywood was not attracted to the black women robber story.

Ethan Hawke was recently at an Oklahoma City bookstore to give a private reading of his first fictional novel, The Hottest State. Over three hundred people were at Bollinger's to catch a glance, a smile, a hello, and an autograph from this famous actor/novelist. The story is a simple, straightforward look into the brief but passionate love affair of two young people—a slice of life. Hawke's writing style is poetry within prose, like Hemingway. Only Hemingway never wrote about love quite like this. Love is seen through the eyes of a man. A sensitive man. A man who falls utterly in love only to be rejected and hurt. A twenty-something guy hurt? From love? Is this possible? I had a chance to ask Hawke if this story was drawn from personal experience. "I wouldn't say this is taken exactly from my life. These are some of my feelings and thoughts, yeah," Hawke said. "It's no autobiography, but there is definitely a lot of 'me' in there." This boot may not be for everyone. It's a look into relationships, families, love... and sex. It is written with such simplicity and honesty, the reader will have no choice but to be drawn into this tale of first love. You will feel their love, laughter, frustration, anger, and possibly even be reminded of your own first "true" love. The book will leave you with a peaceful feeling...hopeful... hopeful for all lovers—even yourself. Hawke is best known for his roles in Dead Poets Society, Reality Bites, and Before Sunrise. He has two movies slated for release this spring. He is also the co-founder and artistic director of the Malaparte Theater Company, based in New York City, which produces new plays by young playwrites. —By Patrice Patterson Student Writer

Unlike some Hollywood production companies, Peak Productions found the movie intersting. Owners Dale Pollock and Oren Koules was attracted to the film from the start. "It was unlike anything I had ever read," said Pollock. After a re-write by Kate Lanier (What's Love Got to Do With It), Set It Off was off to the set for filming. Set It Off is a movie everyone can enjoy, but nudity scences and mature language makes it unsuitable for young audiences.

Seven P's keys to success: Purpose, passion and preparation all part of gaining personal success By Telannia Hytche

Staff Writer

n internationally known speaker presented seven P's to having success at an awards program titled "Asante Sana" (Swahili for "thanks a lot") in the Grand Ballroom of the University Center this past Friday. "Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality," said Les Brown, author and motivational speaker. Brown said the seven P's to having personal success is: 'Purpose 'Passion 'Preparation 'Performance 'People 'Perseverance 'Prayer Everyone has a purpose in life, a reason why they are here, said Brown. People say the Middle East is the

wealthiest place because it has oil, or Africa is the richest because of its diamonds. "The wealthiest place in the planet is the cemetery," said Brown. The cemetery is filled with songs that were never written, inventions never produced and dreams that will never be seen, said Brown. A person must pursue their purpose with a passion. Brown described the different jobs a person may take to figure out their, purpose. The person must tackle a new job with passion and a high level of performance. "It is better to be prepared and not have an opportunity then to have an opportunity and not be prepared." The library is full of free information for everyone. Everything a person needs to know is

in the library, said Brown. He said in regard to the "people" in the seven P's, remember the acronym OQPOnly Quality People. You must surround yourself with positive influences, said Brown. If you know someone is negative, just scratch them off your list. "Just ask yourself these two questions," said Brown. "Where am I going?" "Who's going with me?" In closing, Brown said that without prayer nothing is possible. After the speech, a painting by Synthia St. James, a black artist who painted the cover of Terry McMillian's book Waiting to Exhale, was presented to Les Brown.

Hotline for young adults seeks volunteers for the holidays By Amy Schrieber Student Writer

On the cutting edge... TransAmerica employee Kline Addington cuts pipe in what was the Oklahoma Room. The area is being remodeled and by next fall will house the enrollment and advisement centers. This will make the University Center a one-stop center for students providing enrollment, a bookstore and the housing office in one building. (Staff photo by John Clanton)

eenline, a statewide hotline for adolescents and young adults, is seeking volunteers. The hotline is operated by the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Volunteers are required to attend 40 hours of training dealing with mental health, substance abuse, human sexuality, gang intervention and other social issues. Teenline needs more volunteers for the upcoming holiday season. "We usually receive a rise in calls before and more importantly right after the holidays," said Sean Byrne, Teenline director. Many of the current volunteers are UCO students. Their areas of study range from psychology to education. Byrne believes that volunteering for Teenline gives students the opportunity for hands-on training while helping people. Jan Chapel, director of UCO Student Support Services, works with student volunteers on many campus activities. "The students know they are helping people deal with medical and social issues," said Chapel. The training seminar for Teenline volunteers will be Nov. 29-Dec. 1. For more information on becoming a Teenline volunteer, call 522-3835. 4

"Feed Your Tummy With Our Yummies," is the slogan of the UCO Graphics and Visual Arts Club, who sponsor a bake sale the second Wednesday of each month, at the north entrance of the Art Building. The fundraising bake sale is held from "8:30 a.m. until it's all gone." Home-made baked goods usually include: donuts, cookies, pies, cakes, rice treats and breads. All proceeds go to the club's fund which is used for general business and to fund museum tour trips to Dallas and Chicago. For more information about the club and events, call Dr. Bob Palmer, of the art department and club sponsor at 341-2980, Ext. 5201.

A gold card may not be great after all By Mary Reinauer Staff Writer

hen it comes to a healthy wallet, Randal D. Ice, UCO assistant professor in the department of finance, recommends a diet rich in greens. "I find it appalling that students with no income and no job can get a card with a very high limit," he said. Students often want the cards so that they can establish credit, said Ice, but in some situations, the plan backfires by establishing financial dilemmas they can't handle. "People associate credit cards with glamour, but it's a false glamour," he said. "True financial security is not a platinum card. It's the ability to pay cash." Most of the time,_ said Ice, using cash is money in the bank. But there are many reasons people equate easy credit with easy street. Rebates and giveaways are one way card issuers persuade people to borrow money at rates upward of 18 percent, he said. That free T-shirt many students got for applying for a credit card outside the bookstore might end up costing plenty. Ice said the practice exposes students to potential risk. He said there is a certain kind of personality who is more prone to plastic

abuse because of youth, inexperience or upbringing. Putting a card in the hands of those people can be disastrous. "People need to recognize that credit card abuse is one of the most dangerous financial decisions one can make. It is the number one cause of personal bankruptcy. It can cause the person to stay perpetually in debt all their lives," said Ice. Even if one doesn't use the card, frequent applications for credit can be bad on a credit record, he said. Too many inquiries "could temporarily (one year) make it impossible for him to get credit. " Potential employers, especially those whose business deals with money or medical care involving drugs, are the most likely to check credit reports, said Ice. If the job applicant has asked for a lot

of credit, "it makes you look desperate," he said. Ice said there are a few situations where plastic money is desirable, and some, like renting a car, where it is necessary. The credit account then gives the vendor a certain amount of security if something happens to his property. Ice also cites travel, better record keeping and having the use of money for 30 days before interest is charged as consumer advantages. Using credit cards for business related buying has advantages also, he said. An employee who is to be reimbursed for expenses has 30 days for the company to pay them back. Then the consumer makes his credit card payment with no interest and has never lost the use of their own funds

while still cashing in on any rebates that the card offers. True emergencies are a good time to cash in on cards also, but Ice cautions they must be "really true emergencies." For example if your car breaks down "you can't go to work. You can use your credit card and it makes sense, even though there is a high interest rate." Some card issuers penalize consumers for paying off the balance of their accounts every month by charging them a fee. They also frown on consumers who consistently leave home without their card. GE Capital Corps. GE MasterCard is an example. Robert McKinley, president of RAM credit card research company, said issuers are trying to figure out a way to get money out of card holders who save the plastic for emergencies. "How do you extract income... from people who basically freeload onto the system," he said. "They'll bring the annual fee back disguised as a penalty." Ice said that tactic will work "only if consumers allow it." He advises that people switch issuers if fees are tacked on for using the system wisely. Such fees are not necessary for the issuers to make a profit, he said. Ice said "That's like your banker telling you that just because you don't borrow from us, we don't want your business."
