Teenager faces third court trial for prof's death By Roy Howe Staff Writer Testimony began Thursday in Oklahoma County juvenile court for the state's third attempt at a murder and first-degree arson conviction of Shariell Brisby, 13. Two mistrials were declared after first a juror and the only alternate became ill and then a jury could not agree on a verdict. Instead of a guilty or not guilty verdict, in juvenile court a six member jury's decision is returned delinquent or not delinquent. Brisby is accused of abetting the recently acquitted Jacqueline Latrice James in the fire-related death of University of Central Oklahoma German professor Gerhard Kallienke last April. If found delinquent "there are no penalties," John Foley assistant district attorney said regarding Brisby. In a worse case scenario a person would be placed in the Department of Human Services' custody and sent to the Lloyd Rader Center in Sand Springs until the day of their 19th birthday," he said. The Lloyd Rader Center is a secure "lock-up lock-down" institute, Foley said. Authorities involved with the prosecution of Brisby said that testimony will be heard by the same witnesses that participated in James' trial and the two previous Brisby hearings. Some of the 18 witnesses include detectives and lieutenants with the Edmond police department, Edmond fire department personnel, a handwriting expert and a prostitute Kallienke would solicit.

car and was grabbed from behind by an unknown white male as she opened her car door. The victim said she struggled with the assailant and was hit on the left side of her face. She was cut on her left hand with what appeared to be a carpet knife and thrown to the ground, receiving injuries to the tips of her fingers. The victim said the man was scared off when a car drove into

the parking lot. She said he ran toward the Administration Building and then west in the alley next to Thompson's Book Store on University Drive. The victim said she reported the assault to the police department about 30 minutes later. She was then taken to the UCO Health Center to be treated for her injuries. The victim described the

assailant as a white male between the ages of 21 and 23. He is about 5-feet-11 inches and approximately 200 pounds. He has dark hair and was wearing blue jeans, a dark, Docker-like jacket and tan or brown leather deck shoes. The UCO police have no suspects and asks anyone with information to contact Roberts at ext. 2345.

'People are the key to business By Tami Watson Staff Writer Stanley K. Clark, owner and founder of Eskimo Joe's, Stillwater Bay and Mexico Joe's restaurants, as well as Joe's Clothes, was the featured speaker for the College of Business Administration's Career Day last Wednesday. Clark addressed the audience of more than 500 students, faculty members and professionals, giving them advice on how to successfully

run a business. Clark's interest in business began when he was a small child. "My father taught me about entrepreneurship when I was a child," said Clark. "He instilled in me the entrepreneurial spirit." Clark had his first business experience selling OU and OSU hats. "I bought 100 dozen 'Cowboy' hats and 100 dozen 'Go Big Red' hats for $2.40 per unit and sold them for $5.00," he said. "I bought a football ticket and went to the games and sold the hats."

Stanley K. Clark addresses the audience at the Career Day luncheon . The luncheon was sponsored by the College of Business Administration last Wednesday.

Clark said at that time he didn't know that it was illegal to sell the hats on state property. "It's a whole lot easier to apologize than to get permission," joked Clark. Clark grossed $12,000 from the hat sales during the 1974 football season, which he used to finance his senior year of college. In 1975, two weeks after graduating from OSU with a bachelor of science degree in general administration, Clark and his friend, Steve File, came up with $10,000, some of which was left over from the hat sales, and opened Eskimo Joe's. In it's first week of business, the "Jumpin' Little Juke Joint" sold more than 72 T-shirts sporting the infamous grinning eskimo with his buddy, Buffy, a slobbering eskimo dog. In 1978, Clark gained sole proprietorship of Joe's and by the 1980s, business was growing by leaps and bounds. In 1984, Eskimo Joe's survival was threatened when the Oklahoma Legislature changed the drinking age from 18 to 21. "Our primary business at that time was 3.2 beer and 18 to 21year old college students were the business," said Clark. "This forced us into food service so we could keep what had been a great business for nine years growing." After beginning food service, the business flourished and what began as a small hole-in-thewall bar that sold 3.2 beer to college students is now a business employing more than 400 people.

"In all businesses, people are the key," he said. "It always boils down to people."
