New smoker's heart ailments come to light NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Smokers' hearts are starved for blood during times of physical and eT110tional stress because of previously unsuspected damage done by smoking to tiny blood vessels, a study shows. Dr. Robert L. Minor of the Iowa Heart institute and his colleagues at the Uni, versity of Iowa found that life-saving blood flow to smokers' hearts through tiny blood vessels called arterioles falls well below the flow to nonsmokers' hearts at times of stress.

Seeking all 'global citizens' •• explore barriers at symposium By Michele Soh Staff Writer The Western Pacific Institute of the University of Central Oklahoma will be holding its inaugural country symposium tomorrow. The symposium seeks to "explore the barriers, relationships and issues existing between the U.S. and Japan," said Dr. Walter Jung, founder of the Western Pacific Institute. Jung added that the one-day conference was timely because of the on-going trade relation conflicts between the two countries. UCO President George Nigh will serve as master of ceremonies for the symposium's social functions, which will include the banquet and keynote addresses concerning diplomatic and commercial relations between the two superpowers. Dr. Clifton Warren, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, will preside over the academic functions of the conference. This international symposium serves to train "global citizens so
that we can work not just in Oklahoma, not just in the U.S, but all over the world," said Jung. UCO students, as well as the civic and business community of Edmond and Oklahoma City, are expected to attend the symposium, added Jung. During the day session, there will be academic presentations, a luncheon, film presentations and a panel discussion. The session, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., will be held in the University Center. After the luncheon, a panel discussion concerning the barriers and opportunities which exist between the U.S. and Japan is scheduled. The evening session, hosted by Nigh, will be held in the Marriott Hotel in Oklahoma City from 6 to 9:30 p.m. A keynote speaker, the Honorable Shojiro Imanishi, Consul General of Japan, will speak about "Evolving U.S. and Japan Relations." "He takes care of Japanese interest in the region: Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Mississippi," said Jung
about the Consul General, a high-level diplomat dealing with consulate affairs. The other keynote speech "Through a Glass Darkly: Reflections on U.S. and Japan Economic Relations" will be given by Ambassador S. Linn Williams, former Deputy U.S. Trade Representative and now partner-in-charge of the International Practice Group, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. During the banquet, traditional Japanese dances will be performed by the Cherry Blossom Dancing Team. The cost to attend the symposium, including the luncheon at UCO and the banquet at the Marriott is S45. Details will be shown to prove the extent of Japanese relations in Oklahoma. Oklahoma exports agriculture products like wheat and soy bean and processed food to Japan, said Chambers, from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. There are 32 Japanese companies located in Oklahoma, said Jung. The biggest is
Hitachi. He said Oklahoma's trade with Japan is slightly above the national average; Japan being the second largest market after Canada. UCO has 20 Japanese students. Oklahoma State University and Oklahoma City University have a greater number of Japanese students than UCO, said Jung; OSU has a branch campus in Tokyo. Next year, the Western Pacific Institute will be focusing on China, which has the potential to be the largest consumer market, said Jung. "The institute was set up to spearhead our efforts to understand the region and establish good working relations," said Jung. Other projects the institute is planning are a global study program emphasizing languages and cultures and the formation of sister relations with universities in the Western Pacific to give UCO students the chance to do internships overseas.

NEW ALTERNATIVES Fog 1-14E Cllub NEALT14 PROVIDE k TAX.
Stealing from the poor •Health care tax defeat could lead to less money for higher education Now since the much-heard-about state bond issue has passed, Gov. David Walters has suggested giving the $350 million to the state's health care providers instead of for higher education restoration. The idea is disgusting. Oklahoma's educators fought for that money for new laboratories, buildings and improvements in teaching technology. Now, Walters is proposing that money go toward something Oklahoma voters voted against. The health care provider tax, State Question 647 on the Nov. 3 ballot, called for a tax on hospitals, nursing homes and other health care providers. After its defeat, some nursing homes threatened to kick elderly and mentally ill patients out on the street because they would no longer be eligible for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. In an effort to keep the patients from being turned away, Walters offered money intended for higher education. After campaigning through most of the state's 77 counties lobbying for the passage of the bond issue, Walters suddenly is asking for it to go to something other than education. Higher education in Oklahoma has never been a priority. Oklahomans support high school football games and cheerleaders, but when it comes to a college degree hanging on a wall it is as irrelevant as an uncaught fish. Getting a high school diploma is seen as the greatest achievement an Oklahoma child can accomplish. Some parents don't consider a degre);., important mainly because they don't have one. But now some Oklahomans have realized higher education is important and that Oklahoma students who want to earn a degree should have up-to-date equipment and buildings to have class in. Buildings that don't have radioactive pipes in the basement or asbestos on the ceilings. After this struggle with the voters in the state, higher education has what it wanted . . . maybe. Colleges and universities could receive major improvements if Walters doesn't carelessly throw away the money and confidence educators worked to finally get from Oklahomans.

Entertainment tastes not for everyone his letter is in response to Brian Houston and his comments on the entertainment page of The Vista. He talks of bands such as the Chainsaw Kittens and the Flaming Lips. I just wonder if you realize that the average age on this campus is 28. It's not a traditional college and I'll bet most of the students don't even listen to "college music." I think the entertainment editor has done a fair job at having a variety of music on her page. She's had everyone from Expose to ar-
ticles on Joe Diffie, and yes even the Chainsaw Kittens (check the back-to-school issue). I love traditional college music and have for many years, but I
also like other stuff. Variety is great. Every page can't cater to your personal needs. Furthermore, Brian, you lost all credibility with me when you started calling names, saying she listened to ICT103 and implying that she was a bubble gum chewing teeny hopper. One thing I've noticed about some people in the "progressive" or "college music"
crowd is that they talk about people needing to have open minds and accept their kinds of music, but they're quickest to put down country or pop. It's like the old saying, "the only thing a nonconformist hates more than a conformist is another non-conformist who doesn' t conform to traditional non-conformist's ideas or values." In closing I have just one suggestion for the entertainment editor. Please try to cover more campus entertainment events. Mike Simons

The novel is wonderful. the characters; excellent. Inc story: classic. The movie? Well, there could be some improvement. Brain Stoker's Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the director of the Godfather movies, is a wonderful cinematic event. Special effects are not overdone, the directing is superb, as it always is. Yet something is lacking. There are two characters that stood out in this gothic love story. The first is Dr. Van Helsing played by none other than Anthony (TheSilence of the Lambs)) Hopkins. He was witty, eccentric and absolutely great. Secondly is Gary Oldman as the Count himself. He is truly a prince of princes and a monster of monsters.
Film Review
Music Notes
Unfortunately Keanu Reeves, Bill (TheRocketeer) Campbell, Cary (The Princess Bride) Elwes and Wynona (Heathers) Ryder played true stock characters. No true great acting feat there at all. Though Coppola did not capture all of the book inside the some two hours of the movie, he did a fairly representative portion of the honor classic. Dracula is an excellent cinematic piece, visually stimulating, but has too much red. Red background, red armor, a sexy red head in a red evening gown and a lot of red blood. Dracula will probably be the years biggest blockbuster hit. Until Robin Williams in Toys hits the theaters.

Goodyear CEO tireless in school support when incubator training of Goodyear personnel began at the vo-tech while the plant was constructed. The Lawton Plant takes 25 to 30 percent of its work force from Great Plains Area Vo-Tech and other area vo-tech schools. Goodyear also has provided staff time and more than $500,000 in automated equipment and simulators to the school. "But our efforts are but a drop in the education reform bucket," Gault continued.

Gault keynoted the Nigh Institute's "Salute to Oklahoma Vo-Tech" luncheon Nov. 12 at the University of Central Oklahoma. He stressed the strong relationship between the Lawton Goodyear Plant and Great Plains Area Vocational Technical He noted four key points vital School, also in Lawton. Their for reform, the first being relationship began 13 years ago organization.
"Operating control of the educational system needs to be removed from a supervisory bureaucracy and replaced at the community level. Parents, teachers, businesses, social service agencies and clergy all must play crucial roles in redirecting the education focus." School curriculum was the second area of reform Gault stressed. He said more time must be spent on core subjects; and tougher, more globally competitive curriculum standards are necessary in math, science, computer literacy and language skills. Third on Gault's "must change" list was teacher qualifications.
"To educate students for tomorrow's needs," Gault said, "teachers must be trained in more flexible, interactive methods and new perspectives ... This also suggests a shift of emphasis from the mechanics of teaching and back toward knowing more about the subject." The last of Gault's reforms concerned school funding. He said disparities must be eliminated between facilities and equipment available to inner city schools, by comparison with wealthy suburban schools. "Imagination, innovation and determination are the wood, bricks and mortar of which our nation's economy was built," Gault concluded. "Well, the

Butcher shops, garbage cans inspire writer By Travis Clark
Student Writer
The mice are running along the street; And up to my back door. They've come to chew holes in my garbage can. I can hear them running across the floor; Oh no what a drag This has happend to me twice before, And I'd rather save the money for a cooling fan; but now I gotta get a brand new garbage can. The words are his and so is the music. His voice is slightly nasal and reminiscent of Bob Dylan. He's a big man, and his gray hair deceptively makes him look older than 44. This song about a man and his garbage can is a part of the creativity of Dr. Edward Allen, artist-inresidence at the University of Central Oklahoma Creative Studies Department. Allen came here from Nevada, where he had just finished and received an advance of his second novel. And now he's teaching. His first novel Straight Through the Night was written after eight years in the meat business in New York and after
Allen watched two men in the butcher shop banter back and forth only to find out that all the people they knew were dead. "I then realized that I was the only one educated enough to write this novel, the weirdness and squalor of this business," said Allen. Allen's second novel, Mustang Sally is, the cover promises, a novel of "sex, gambling and higher education." The novel is set up in Las Vegas with a professor dealing with the censorship elements in schools, along with prostitute and former student Sally. And though the title comes from the old Rascals tune, Mustang Sally has some other meanings. "The Mustang stallions were associated with Nevada," Allen said. "Also, the first legal brothel in Nevada was the Mustang Ranch." His books have received remarks from Kirkus Reviews, The Library Journal, "The Chicago Tribune" and "The
Washington Post." He also points out that he's had some rather good local reviews. Allen's short stories have been published in GQ, The New
Yorker, The Southwest Review and Story. The short story in the Southwest Review was reprinted in Best American Short Stories of 1990. He has short stories forthcoming in the Mississippi Valley Review, GQ and The New
Yorker. After he spent time writing in Nevada, he sent out queries for work in higher education. That was how he got the job at UCO. "I like teaching," Allen said. "Like a lot of writers, I feel some tension between the time I spend writing and the time I spend teaching. In other words, there's not enough of either." Yet he does both, by teaching two classes, Writing the Novel and Short Fiction this fall, and he is continuing to write by working on an anthology of short stories.

THE VISTA Volleyball team looks to finish strong at tourney From staff reports Central Oklahoma will wrap up the 1992 volleyball season this weekend when the Lady Bronchos go to San Angelo, Texas for the Lone Star Conference Tournament. UCO, 24-16 overall, finished 3-4 and tied for fifth with East Texas State in the regular season LSC standings. The Lady Bronchos are the fifth seed in the two-day, single elimination tournament that determines the league champion, thanks to their three-game sweep of the Lady Lions earlier this season. Central will meet Eastern New Mexico (19-12) in Friday's first round at 6:00 p.m. The Zias beat UCO in five games in their regular-season match on Oct. 10. UCO split its final two LSC matches last week, losing to Angelo State last Friday before rallying for a five-game win over Abilene Christian Saturday. The Rambelles won in three straight, 15-5, 15-10, 15-9, then the Lady Bronchos came back from a 2-0 deficit to down ACU 7-15, 12-15, 15-12, 15-9, 16-14.

Expectations above the rim as UCO cagers begin season By Justin Harper
Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's men's basketball team begins it's quest for a third straight Lone Star Conference championship when they host intrastate rival Southwestern, Saturday at 8:00 inside Broncho Field House. With three starters back from last seasons 25-7 squad, which advanced all the way to the Elite Eight in the national tournament, expectations are sky high. There is even talk of a possible national championship. The Bronchos are the overwhelming choice to win the LSC crown, according to the pre-season LSC poll. UCO received 27 1/2 first-place votes out of a possible 31, easily outdistancing last years co-LSC champ Texas A&I, which received 5 1/2 first-place votes. Eastern New Mexico was picked to finish third, followed by Abilene Christian, Angelo State, Cameron and East Texas State. UCO guard Alex Wright was picked as the pre-season LSC Player of the Year, after making some All-American lists last season. Broncho teammate James Morris was the runner-up pick. Although the official NCAA II pre-season poll is not due to be released until December, the Bronchos have appeared in several sports publications as a top 10 pick. The late-surging Lady Broncho basketball team will also tip-off this weekend, traveling to Denton, Texas to play in the Pioneer Premier Friday and Saturday. UCO is picked to finish runner-up in the LSC this season, being edged out of the top spot by Eastern New Mexico, who recieved 12 first-place votes to UCO's 11. The Lady Bronch's had a brilliant late-season flurry, upsetting the top two LSC teams in consecutive games, to win the conference tournament. Abilene Christian was picked to finish in third-place followed by Texas Woman's, Texas AM, East Texas State, Angelo State and Cameron. UCO center Ton'Nea Cox was the runner-up in balloting for preseason conference player of the year to ENMU's Jennifer Goble, who won the award last year.
