State legislator backs potty parity OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A state legislator wants to create bathroom parity by requiring builders to provide twice as many toilets in women's restrooms as men's. Rep. William Paulk, D-Oklahoma City, has prefiled a bill that would require city, county and state governments to use public money to remedy the bathroom situation. Paulk's bill would not affect buildings already constructed. "Most architects are men, and they never stop to think about the difference," Paulk said. "It takes women longer to use the restroom.
Court grants delay for Parks' execution OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appears ruling delaying the execution of death row inmate Robyn Leroy Parks has drawn unusually harsh criticism from the state's attorney general. Attorney General Susan Loving on Thursday described the 4-1 opinion by the appeals court as "a frivolous delay" and an example of why people are frustrated with the death penalty. The appeals court held that an execution date set by an Oklahoma County judge was premature since Parks had a last-ditch appeal pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Parks had been scheduled to be executed Dec. 6.
Guardian Angels arrive in Dubuque DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — The leader of a Guardian Angels' contingent sent here to combat racism after months of cross burnings says local residents have issued a warm welcome but police have been much cooler. "People have already invited us in for dinner," said Thomas Hunt, the group's national coordinator. Two crosses were burned last weekend, bringing to 10 the number of such episodes since last July an. Of Dubuque's 58,000 residents, only about 330 are black.

Student senate may meet less By Larry Rogers

Some may blame student apathy, and some say meetings are held too frequently to fit busy schedules, but it's anybody's guess what it will take to jump-start the University of Central Oklahoma's "sluggish" student senate. In a recent address at the weekly student senate meeting, UCO president Bill Lillard suggested that the group might be more effective if it did not meet as frequently. "The faculty senate meets only once a month, and most of the other campus organizations also meet about once a month," Lillard said. "I've heard students talk about being interested in getting involved with the the student senate, but they don't have the time to make a meeting every week. Bart Binning, faculty senate president said that body does not have any position concerning the internal operations of the student senate, but he felt the group might accomplish more by meeting less often because it would allow more time between meetings for the committees to confer on issues at hand. "Work done in a committee atmosphere
can help resolve any conflicts before the issue is taken to the larger body," (senate as a whole). Four to seven members is an ideal group size, Binning said. "Any more, and you lose interpersonal dynamics. Any fewer, you lose diversity." Binning stressed that the faculty senate was not trying to "meddle," but that he and Peter Regan, student senate president did meet occasionally and had discussed the topic of meeting frequency. Regan said he likes the idea of meeting twice a month, but does not foresee a change until at least next semester. "I'm going to push for it," Regan said. "By easing the time constraints on ourselves, we can get more students involved in the decision-making process. Regan said 75 percent of UCO students attend school full-time, and 48 percent work over 21 hours per week. Nearly one third are over 26 years old and 27 percent are married. "The status quo is archaic and it is vital that we align our ideology with reality," Regan said. "I strongly believe that a bimonthly meeting would not only increase membership, but allow us to cater to the students more effectively.
Carole Crawley, student senate speaker said she doesn't see a reason to change things. "It's not what we need right now," Crawley said. "If we're supposed to be a governing body for student organizations, we should be meeting more often." Crawley said the weekly meetings also allow the student senate to act quickly to resolve any problems student organizations bring to them. Rebekah Zahn, student senate historian said weekly meetings are called for in the senate bylaws. Senate committees have not been meeting as often as they should, Crawley said, and as a result, the student senate this semester has been less active than in the past. "Maybe we're not getting the most accomplished right now, but you've got to look at the potential we have," Crawley said. "We're starting out fresh this semester. Most of the group is new to the senate." Todd Dealy, deputy student senate speaker said he supports the suggestion that the student senate meet every two weeks. "I don't think it would hurt," Dealy said. "Let's make Lillard happy. We might need a favor from him sometime." V

Politically correct stifles freedom he old McCarthyism of the 1950's is alive and well in the 1990's—but its new name is "the politically correct" and it threatens to unravel the flag of freedom. The new McCarthyists are patrolling all ranks and files for smokers, drinkers, meat eaters, fur wearers, overeaters, anti-semitics, and racists. And all of this intolerance is supposedly for the good of scoeity. But some of this selfrighteousness threatens to sabotage even the best of intentions. Last week the City of Tulsa was called on the carpet by the NAACP because of opinions of City Councilman John Benjamin, who had earlier called for the resignation of retired Police Chief Drew Diamond. An official at the NAACP took exception to Benjamin's conduct in office and called for a boycott of Benjamin's employer, Western National Bank. Fortunately the NAACP took no action but, still, the situation went too far. McCarthyism is all dressed up and ready to play blackball when special interest groups threaten to boycott employers because of employees' political viewpoints. And if employees are city officials, the end result could be that politically-correct employers ban employees from seeking public office. What then? Democracy thrives on the free flow of differing opinions and ideas. If any person or persons interfere in that exchange, freedom is in danger. V

Visitation hours challenged
H
ave you ever wanted to have a study group composed of members of the opposite sex? Have you ever wanted to play cards or socialize with men and women after 11 p.m. on weekdays or 1 a.m. on the weekends? Most of the time students go to the Kettle. What is the Kettle? It's a restaurant that is open 24 hours a day. To study there, you must purchase at least a cup of coffee. We are highly concerned about the visitation hours on UCO's campus. There is not
one place on this campus that has a 24-hour visitation period. We believe that we are being persecuted for living on campus. OBU, a Baptist private college, has longer visitation hours than our state-run school. At St. Gregory's Catholic college, lobbies are open 24 hours a day. However, UCO's visitation hours end at 11 p.m. Sun-Thur and at 1 a.m. Fri and Sat. Other state run public schools such as OU and OSU have 24-hour visitation periods. As the third largest state-run university, we need to catch up
with the times. For the past five years, a petition has been submitted to extend visitation, and each year that request has been vetoed. We cornmend those leading this fight and we ask official to remedy this situation. UCO is renovating our campus at a remarkably high cost, yet it would cost nothing to renovate UCO's visitation hours. 35 UCO students signed the letter

owards the end of the semester, the word procrastination haunts me. Thinking of deadlines for term papers, projects and assignments has already stressed me out. Furthermore, plotting out my final exam schedule on the calendar and finding that I had a greater number of chapters to cover than the number of days left has driven me to the point of burnout. This time of the semester reminds me of my August resolution. Remember the day you let go of your 'new semester' resolution just before your midterms? Being high on my resolutions but not determined enough to follow through, I regretted signing up for those 7:40 a.m. classes Mondays through Fridays, especially towards the end of the term. Procrastination causes fear, worry and anxiety, but once all these elements have been named,
they become less threatening. Of course the 1000 page text at hand generates enough fear. What I need is to choose different tasks until I have regained control and confidence. Worry, as I have discovered it, is only a habit. It is a projection which causes one to lose perspective; it makes me view the totality of the task I need to do as overwhelming. I regard worry as nonproductive and regain control over my thoughts by reducing tasks to manageable components and taking them one at a time. On the other hand, anxiety causes dread as it paralyses one's study. Do you remember the last time you sat down to study and you got up uncountable times for visits to the refrigerator, twisted your paper clips into interesting patterns and daydreamed before you could even get through the next page of your text?
Sometimes, I suffer from chronic procrastination due to excessive sleeping, 150 minute phone calls, TV addiction and prolonged daydreaming. Strangely, this kind of compulsive behavior only sems to appear towards the week of the finals and I always why. Stress? We all have fallen prey to procrastination the same way we fall prey to Parkinson's Law: if you want something done, ask a busy person. Didn't you notice that student athletes perform much better academically during the season they are most active in sports? Almost every semester, I find myself becoming the King of All Nighters and taking an entire semester's course on a single day-cram night. —Julian Morais UCO student

Julie Burgess sophomore speech pathology
A familiar face and a guiding hand to many students, James Noley, is retiring in June from the University of Central Oklahoma. Noley, multicultural student services coordinator, said he has decided to take an early retirement and perhaps seek employment in the private education area. "I've enjoyed the experience here. The past 13 years have been very successful," Noley said. As multicultural student services coordinator Noley fullfills many tasks, among them traveling to high schools for recruitment purposes, setting up study skills workshops. He also works closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to obtain scholarships for students with at least one-fourth Indian blood and assists the Black Student Association.

"It' s just my mom, dad, my two sisters and me. It's casual, we relax and eat pumpkin pie."
He said he will miss the students at UCO most of all. He has seen many of them graduate, enter the job market and lead productive lives. "I've seen former students go on to work in Washington, D.0 and others have gone to work for major oil companies," he said. Shon-Dae Rahman, First American Student Association president, said Noley will be missed. "Mr. Noley has really done a lot for us. He really gets the job done," Rahman said. Noley is a graduate of Wilburton High School and received his Bachelor of Science and Master's degree from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Before he began his work at UCO in 1979, Noley was employed by Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton as an Outreach counselor, BIA Outreach counselor, coordinator of veterans affairs and parttime business instructor.

Over $13 million was awarded by the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant program fiscal year 1990-91, Oklahoma State Regents For Higher Education reported at their Nov. 15 meeting. OTAG received 63,122 applications for the program and approved 16,294. Of those, 910 were approved from University of Central Oklahoma students. "Basically, OTAG is a state grant set up for eligible state residents," said Sheila Fugett, UCO financial aid director. She said most students who qualify for a Pell Grant are usually eligible for OTAG, however, they should apply as early as possible because funds are offered on a first come, first served basis.
"If the student received OTAG the previous year and applies by April 30, there is a good chance they will receive it again," Fugett said. Regents also announced four UCO students received the Paul Douglas Teacher Scholarship for 1990-91. Those scholarships went to Janet Easley, elementary education major, Jeffrey Edmondson, Math major, Christine Robertson and Gina Tinker, also elementary education majors. The Paul Douglas program provides scholarships up to $5,000 to help outstanding high school students who show an interest in teaching to pursue careers in that area. Recipients were selected by a seven member statewide panel. They selected 60 approved recipients and 23 alternate recipients if more funds become available later. V

Usual sounds, unusual concert By Marcia Benedict
Staff Writer 4171,M1i1MOS
Eleven music students at the University of Central Oklahoma have "ventured into new sonic landscapes," to create original experimental computer music compositions, said Dr. Sam Magrill, assistant professor of theory and composition at the UCO department of music. At an upcoming concert, the compositions will be performed for the first time by the composers, Magrill said. Music students in Magrill's electro-acoustic music course have taped sounds developed in a computer music studio and have added a line of live instrumental music to the computerized sounds.
"They have taken sounds of speech and sounds of cars on the road, for example, and ai-e adding instruments such as the flute, piano and trumpet to the pieces," he said, Because of the difficulty involved in arranging a large orchestra, Magrill said performing a solo with a taped accompaniment has become more practical for composers. "A lot of things now are very regular, very mundane, so something different sounds nice," he said. Magrill has also written a cornputer music composition entitled "Music for Mira," which he will perform at the Dec. 5 concert, he said.
"Mira's my daughter, and I wrote that piece for her when she was eight months old," he said. Magrill, who has taught at UCO for four years, recently attended the 1991 National Conference of the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in Illinois and performed yet another original composition, entitled "Strands of Time." "Since the conference was held at the university where I graduated, it was exciting to go back and see people who I had studied with and perform one of my works," he said.

To cheat or not to cheat? That is the question as final examinations draw near. An inquiry to Dr. Dudley Ryan, vice president of academic affairs, revealed that there is no university-wide policy for disciplinary action against a student caught cheating on an exam. But before those minds start reeling about ways to hide the answers to finals, weigh the decision with the possible repercussions that may occur. Individual instructors are allowed to handle situations of cheating as they see fit, Ryan said. An informal survey of faculty members shows that disciplinary action can range from receiving a zero on an exam or paper to an automatic failure in the class. Dr. Frank S. Wert, dean of the College of Business, said he and his staff take cheating very seriously.
Magrill will direct the "Face the Music" concert, at 8 p.m., Dec. 5, in the Mitchell Hall Theater. V
RESUMES
"In recent cases the student was either failed or asked to drop the class," Wert said. Dr. Thieron P. Harrison, biology department chairperson, said he has advised instructors to call the student in, tell the student that some action will be taken, and ask the student what he feels his punishment should be. Harrison said in most cases the student will suggest taking a zero on the exam. Harrison said several of the reports of cheating in his department have come from students. "In one case, a student actually took a cheat-sheet away from another student and gave it to the instructor," Harrison said. Even though situations of cheating are dealt with on the department level, if students believe they were wrongly accused, they can follow the appeal policy outlined in the student handbook, which is used when students have grievances wth an instructor or grade, Ryan said.

Singaporean students at the University of Central Oklahoma participated in a "career day" of their own last Wednesday. Puvan Ariaratnam visited the UCO campus on behalf of the Singaporean embassy to share information about job opportunites with UCO's 38 Singaporean students and 37 of those students showed up to participate. "We're really delighted to have such a guest here on campus," said Dr. Ronald Paddack, director of UCO's international office. A large percentage of Singaporean students return home upon completion of their degrees, Paddack said, so it is important that
is happening back home. "The students here seem very enthusiastic," Ariaratnam said. Around 1,700 jobs were available last month in Singapore, a nation of 3 million people, Ariaratnam said "Singapore welcomes people from all over the world," Ariaratnam said. "We are a very international city." Engineering is the top profession in Singapore, Ariaratnam said. Khalid Awang, a Singapore national, has attended UCO for five semesters. Majoring in finance, he said he will go home after he finishes graduate school. "He gave us the latest economic update," Awang said. "He serves as an link between Singaporean students." V

He brings a vast amount of experience and knowledge to the department of economics. He has a varied background, ranging from manager of Industrial Studies at the National Foreign Bank (Mexico) to coordinator, Captial Goods Project at Nacional Financiera (Mexico). He was also the economist at the National Trade Bank (Mexico) and responsible for authorship of chapters six and seven of "Mexico: The Metalworking Industries."
Accomplished in economics, De Los Santos chose teaching. "You get to see the big picture, rather than one specific aspect of economics," he says. He makes it clear why Oklahoma is now home. "I applied to several universities, but chose UCO because it offered what I like," he says. "Oklahoma is relatively close to Mexico and this state offers a lot of promise and opportunity." His interests are cultural and international affairs, short-wave radio, organ music, chamber music and Mexican traditional music. He and his wife Jacqueline have two boys, a five-year-old who is bilingual, and a one-year-old.

Many feel Magic's revelation will enlighten public By Kathy Karr Staff Writer "It can happen to anybody."
A nation was stunned two weeks ago when a much admired sports figure announced he had contracted the HIV virus, the virus that causes AIDS. "Even me, Magic Johnson." At a press conference at the Forum in In-
glewod, Calif. Magic Johnson, power forward for the Los Angeles Lakers who had led the team to five national titles in his 12-year pro career, was calm when he had announced that he had contracted the virus. He found out when he went in for a routine test for an insurance policy. "I'm gonna deal with it, and life will go on." Later, it was announced that Johnson's
infection occurred through heterosexual contact, and that his wife and unborn child had both tested negative, but would have to be continuously monitored.
"I wanna say that safe sex is the only way." "What I hope with this announcement is that it will reach urban core children," said Dr. Lewis Irving, sociology professor at the University of Central Oklahoma. "I don't know that it's going to have that strong an impact on the heterosexual community as it's going to have an impact on minorities," Irving said. Doug Longino is a junior at UCO, majoring in family and child development. He is getting married Dec. 27 in New Orleans to a woman he has been living with for the past year. Longino was diagnosed two years ago with Kaposi's Sarcoma, one of the diseases that manifests itself during the course of the AIDS illness. "My life has changed tremendously," Longino said. "I never thought that there was any way in hell that I would ever get AIDS."
Since his diagnosis, Longino has been active in the fight against AIDS, speaking at engagements in Oklahoma City. "I think it's my obligation to help prevent this from happening to someone else," Longino said. Longino said that as an AIDS activist, he held a small measure of resentment over the manner in which Magic's announcement was received. "The other night he came out with the Lakers for the first time, and the crowd response was incredible," Longino said.

"and have been working very hard. All Magic had to do to receive support was announce that he had the virus." "I just think sometimes about all the little people who do all the work, and it seems unfair," Longino said. "It's not about recognition, it's about solving a problem," he said.
But, Longino said, he hopes that Magic's announcement will help Americans rethink their views on the AIDS crisis. "I'm sorry as I can be that this happened to Magic," Longino said."But God just kind of picked the right person." "As far as what it's going to do for America," Longino said. "the impact will be tremendous." Longino said he hopes that the mind-set of the average American will change with the announcement that a heterosexual national celebrity has the HIV virus. "I hope that people will be more understanding," Longino said. "All these macho type guys who believe it's a gay disease, or have that 'Oh, you must be a junkie attitude' will understand that it can happen to anybody." "I hope this really enlightens the heterosexual community," Longino said. Magic Johnson has been asked by President George Bush to head the President's Commission on AIDS. The outpouring of love and support from fans and teammates, and the fact that all the corporations that employ Magic as a spokesman have announced that they will keep him on and make contributions to the fight against AIDS, have made Johnson a national hero. The question is, how much does the fact that next year is an election year, and the fact that Bush's support has been dropping in the polls, have to do with Bush's invitation? "Oh, of course, that has everything to do with it," said Irving. AIDS activists charge that the last two republican administrations have done a minimal amount of work for the fight against AIDS. Reagan didn't even say the word during his eight year administration. But when Magic made his announcement, Bush decided that he cared "very, very much" about the fight against AIDS.

Oklahomans are taking precautions, action about AIDS By Penny Owen • Staff Writer The bad news is that more heterosexual people are testing positive for the HIV virus and AIDS than this time last year. The good news is that Oklahomans are taking more action to find out about AIDS. Since Magic Johnson announced his fate this month, several Oklahoma testing centers are reporting as much as a 50 percent increase in HIV and AIDS testing. Initially the AIDS hotline doubled their normal number of
MAGIC
Continued from page 6 "Magic has been very picky about which AIDS group he's gonna go with," said Longino. "I think he should stay out on his own. For him, finances would be no problem, and he would be much more effective alone." "George Bush is a screwhead," Longino said. "What he wants is Magic Johnson to cure America of AIDS, and that's not gonna happen." "This disease is gonna tear this country apart," Longino said. Irving said he didn't think Johnson's joining the president's AIDS commission would effect the fight against AIDS either way. "Maybe if Johnson starts looking at the way the Bush administration is handling AIDS research, we may see him turn against the commission," Irving said. "But I don't see that his being on the commission would be detrimental." "Johnson is a major celebrity and he will attract a lot of media attention," Irving said. "While the work lesser-known individuals have done in the fight is important, I think Johnson's announcement will help us to be much more effective in the work that we're trying do." Whatever Magic decides to do, the spectre of AIDS is looming over him. He's had to give up a profession he loves, and the fact that his wife and unborn child may become infected will be a constant threat. But, as former Laker coach Pat Riley said, "We don't want to eulogize him." Magic Johnson is not dead yet, and the most optimistic projections give him ten more healthy years. "You try to live with AIDS, not die with AIDS," Longino said. "If you let your head go, that's just not the answer. You're just gonna go down twice as fast." V

calls, but after a couple of weeks the calls tapered off, said Yacob Karmid, an AIDS hotline representative. The trend is gradual, but clear: The number of heterosexuals testing positive for AIDS and HIV is climbing, while the number of ho mosexuals with positive test results is declining, said Earnestine Hill, Reach-Out Specialist for the AIDS hotline. In fact, within the last three months, Oklahoma heterosexuals reported to have AIDS has increased by three percent, Karmid said. Hill said the fact that homosexuals took the initiative to practice safe sex and submit to

testing when AIDS first broke ten years ago has helped their figures decrease. On the other hand, many heterosexuals have been reluctant to admit that they could get AIDS, much less get tested or practice safe sex, Hill said. AIDS victims are getting younger as well, said Hill, who revealed that five years ago the average age of AIDS victims was 30
years old. Today more AIDS victims than ever are in their early 20s. "This means people are getting infected in their teen years, and that's pretty serious," Hill said. So far, the majority of Oklahoma AIDS victims are homosexual, with nearly 80 percent of the 879 reported AIDS cases being homosexual, said Mark Turner, Staff Epidemiologist at the Oklahoma. State Health Department. Although all positive AIDS tests must be reported to the State Health Department, names are not necessary. Oklahoma has eight anonymous testing centers, where results are filed by number only.
But in order to receive any Department of Human Services benefits, which an AIDS patient can be entitled to as a disabled person, test results must have a name and social security number attached. Confidential testing is available at 37 sites statewide. A name is attached to test results, but any positive tests are turned into the State Health Department by number only. Another way to get tested for AIDS and the HIV virus is by giving blood. Although the Oklahoma Blood Institute discourages anyone defined as 'at risk' for AIDS from donating, every donor 'V See AIDS, back page.

Native Oklahoman nabs national crown Coed wins title Miss Indian USA By Penny Owen Staff Writer When University of Central Oklahoma junior Laura Sigwing decided to take a break from college, she had no idea how demanding it would be. At the suggestion of a friend, the 21-year-old Otoe-Missouria Indian entered the Miss Indian U.S.A. pageant as Miss Indian Oklahoma. She traveled this month to Washington D.C. and spent a week with 29 other contestants under the judges' microscope. The week ended with a new title and crown for Sigwing and a slew of prizes and scholarships. As the 1992 Miss Indian Oklahoma, Sigwing was given $20,000 to spend for appearances related to her title; a $12,000 grant; a $7,000 scholarship to the college of her choice; a $5,000 wardrobe; a trip to Bermuda with her parents; a VCR; ball gown; jewelry and more. In addition, she is placed on staff with the pageant's sponsor, the Indian Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C., as a full-time employee. Her job description includes writing letters, giving out awards to high school children, encouraging them to finish school, and fulfilling any obligations her reign may require.
Miss Indian U.S.A. Laura Sigwing
One of those obligations will be to ride on a float in the Rose Bowl parade in January and to travel to Japan in February, said Sigwing, who is unclear as to where she is scheduled after that. Sigwing, a native of the tiny community of Red Rock, said she attributes much of her success to having an Indian mother and an American father. Her parents, Darrell and Lor-

raine Sigwing, raised her to absorb the traditions of her tribe, but at the same time to function in an everchanging society. "I think that's why I might have won," Sigwing said. "Because I knew a lot about my traditional ways and also how to be in the modem world." Many of the other contestants lacked that well-roundedness, and many tried too hard to fulfill an
image, Sigwing said. The pageant theme of "Walking Girl As She Walks In Two Worlds" reveals the diverse qualification sought by the pageant officials — one which Sigwing said she fulfills. The pageant also judged contestants on traditional and modem talent, interviews, ball gown appearance, and how the contestants handled themselves during the week of the contest. Sigwing performed an Eagle dance, then sang a country song by the Judds. "I just tried to be myself," said Sigwing, "To be friendly and say what I feel." Working with youth as Miss Indian U.S.A. is a task that Sigwing said she welcomes and has plenty of experience to apply. Sigwing spent a few summers in Red Rock supervising a youth program for high school children and one summer as a youth employment counselor for tribe members. Once her reign is over, Sigwing said she plans to finish her degree in elementary education. "After that, I want to work on my masters and become a counselor," she said. Pageants are also something Sigwing has experience with. She previously reigned as Miss Red Earth in Oklahoma City, and twice as Miss Indian Oklahoma. "When I graduated from high school, my mom asked if I would like to enter Red Earth," she said. "Everything just fell into place from there. V

Cagers rout Ozarks 139-118 in opener
Lady cagers split openers down South
By Bill Kramer Sports Editor
• •
Alex Wright scored 36 points and was one of seven Bronchos who scored in double figures as Central Oklahoma routed the University of the Ozarks (Ark.) 139-118 in the season opener Saturday in the Broncho Field House. The final tally for UCO marked the second-highest scoring game in school history, falling just short of the Bronchos' 141-96 outburst against Abilene Christian in the 1989-90 season. UCO (1-0) shot 52 percent from the field, compared with 45 percent for the Eagles. The Bronchos also out-rebounded the Ozarks 65-45 and grabbed 13 steals. Senior guard Reggie Evans added 22 points, including four 3-pointers. He also had nine assists and four steals. Teammate Robert Wilson scored 18 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. Junior forward Fred "Breeze" Tyler collected 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, to go along with four blocks and two steals. Ron Shields contributed 17 points and James Morris had 13 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out midway through the second half. Shawn Robinson scored 10 points and had nine rebounds. "The tempo went the way we wanted it," said coach Jim Seward. "We just have to continue to improve defensively. It's tough going hard both ways — offensively and defensively. "I think we need to improve our mental concentration. We fouled way too much in the first half. Offensively, though, I thought we played well." The Bronchos trailed 8-6 early on but took a 9-8 lead on a Wright 3-pointer with 17:11 left before intermission and never trailed again. UCO built a 17-8 lead less than a minute later, but the Eagles rallied with an 8-0 run to pull within one, 17-16. The Bronchos responded by outscoing the Ozarks 50-35 over the final 14:30 of the first half to post a commanding 67-51 lead. The Eagles (2-1) quickly cut the deficit to 72-65 with 16:03 left to play, thanks to a 14-5 run, but UCO stormed right back. The Bronchos increased their lead to 25 points with 10:06 left. UCO led by as many as 34, 115-81, following Evans' pair of free throws with 8:15 remaining.

2 crowned champions for UCO in mat open From staff reports
Central Oklahoma turned in another solid tournament performance Saturday, placing nine wrestlers at the Nebraska-Omaha Open. The Bronchos, who crowned three champions at last week's Central Missouri Open, had two titlists in Omaha — 134-pound Ryan Martin and 142-pound Todd Drake. No team scores were kept in the 25-team event. Martin, a sophomore from Tuttle placed second a week ago and capped his romp through this week's bracket with a 6-1 win against Augustana's (S.D.) Shane Blake. Drake, a junior from Andover, Kan., made it two tourney titles in a row because of North Dakota's Chris Pressler's injury default in the finals.

Bobbi Hardy scored a careerhigh 22 points as Central Oklahoma's women's basketball team hammered Concordia-Lutheran (Texas) 94-74 Saturday to earn a split in the season-opening twogame Pioneer Classic in Denton, Texas. In Friday's game, Southwest Baptist (Mo.) staved off UCO's furious last-minute rally for a 63-60 victory. "I thought the girls did an outstanding job both days, and I'm really pleased with how we played overall," said 12th-year coach John Keely. "We had a chance to win Friday night and just couldn't pull it out, but we didn't hang our heads about it and came back Saturday and really got after it." Ton'Nea Cox had 30 points and 24 rebounds in the two games, with 14 points and 13 rebounds in Friday's loss and 16 and 11 in Saturday's rout as the (1-1) Lady Bronchos recorded their fifthhighest scoring game ever. Concordia-Lutheran stayed close early, but UCO surged to a 45-36 halftime lead before breaking the game open early in the second half. Hardy, who was scoreless in Friday's loss, was nine of 14 from the field, including three treys. She also had six assists. Teammate Jana Flanagan added 19 points, while Kim Martin bounced back from a poor shooting game Friday with a 14-point outburst Saturday. Friday's nail-biter was just opposite of Saturday's rout. Southwest Baptist had a seemingly insurmountable 62-54 lead with 56 seconds left before the Lady Bronchos unleashed a lastditch comeback that fell just short. Cox ended a five-minute scoring drought for UCO with a pair of free throws with 41 seconds left, then April Stocksen turned an SBU turnover into a 3-pointer from the wing that cut the deficit to three, 62-59, with 28 seconds left. The Louisville, Ky., junior made one free shot with 25 seconds left to make it 62-60, but SBU added a free throw and a shot at the buzzer was off the mark for Sabrena Whittler. The Lady Bearcats appeared on the verge of a blowout after taking a 40-31 lead early in the second half, but Lisa Lowden scored six points in a 20-8 run that gave UCO a 51-48 lead. The Lady Bronchos had threestraight opportunities to up that lead, but turnovers thwarted those chances and SBU regained the lead to set up the wild finish. UCO shot just 29 percent (20 of 69) from the field, including a mere 24 percent (five of 21) from 3-point range. V

Fort Sill, made up of former high school, college and professional standouts, was led by Carl Curry, a former New Jersey Net of the NBA, who scored 35 points and grabbed a game-best 14 rebounds. The 6-8 forward also had two blocked shots. Earnest Mathews assisted Curry with 29 points, including a game-high eight 3-pointers on 14 attempts.

It took Galileo 16 years to master the universe. You have one night. It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the dreaded astronomy exam. On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp.

Smuggler stows cash in stomach
is routinely tested and notified of positive results.
NEW YORK (AP) - A woman was arrested trying to smuggle $53,000 out of the country, including $6,000 in 12 balloons she swallowed, customs agents said today. Vivien Mensah's arrest appears to be the first for attempting to smuggle money by swallowing it, a method more often used by drug traffickers, said U.S. Customs agent Arthur Stiffel. Customs officials asked Mensah how much money she was carrying as she awaited a Nov. 14 flight from Kennedy Airport to the African nation of Ghana, Stiffel said. She said she had $9,000. When a search of her bag turned up $24,000 concealed in bed sheets, Mensah admitted she had swallowed several balloons stuffed with money, customs agents said. An X-ray confirmed she had ingested 12 balloons. She also carried a balloon vaginally, Stiffel said. It is illegal to take more that $10,000 in cash out of the United States without reporting it.
The Oklahoma Blood Institute testing is unique in that it is the only test site in the nation to test for the HIV-1 antigens. Most other AIDS tests look for the antibodies, but this test can detect the actual virus.
Soviets claim Oswald U.S. agent WASHINGTON (AP) - Soviet intelligence officials concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald couldn't have acted alone in the Kennedy assassination, ABC News reports. Oswald's 10-inch-thick KGB file shows that Soviet authorities thought he was a U.S. agent during the years he spent in their country, ABC says in a "Nightline" program to be broadcast tonight. Today is the 28th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination in Dallas. ABC correspondent Forrest Sawyer spent a day reviewing Oswald's KGB file in Moscow with assistance from a Soviet translator and a KGB case officer. The KGB had second thoughts and withdrew its access. The network wasn't allowed to make copies of the file. But during the two months ABC spent on the story, KGB officials who were thoroughly familiar with the Oswald file said it was their view that the American defector wasn't sophisticated enough to have carried out the assassination by himself. Oswald was an ex-Marine who defected to the Soviet Union in September 1959. While there, he married and returned to the United States in June 1962 with permission from the Soviets and the U.S. State Department.
AIDS information not increasing ATLANTA (AP) - Despite increasing publicity about AIDS, the percentage of parents who say they discuss the disease with their children didn't significantly increase over a two-year period, a federal survey suggests. Another federal study found that common misconceptions about AIDS persist. Of more than 8,000 parents of children ages 10 to 17 surveyed., 62 percent said they had discussed AIDS with their children, the national Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday.
North Korea agrees to checks SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea will permit U.N. inspection of its nuclear facilities if the Pentagon allows simultaneous visits to its weapons sites in South Korea, a U.S. defense analyst said today. The proposal was made public a day after Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said the United States will delay withdrawals of U.S. troops from South Korea to pressure Communist North Korea to abandon nuclear arms development. Some reports claim North Korea is close to building the bomb. William J. Taylor, vice president of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, said he received the written offer from North Korean leaders during discussions Nov. 13-16 in Pyongyang. "I think we ought to accept it," said Taylor.
Although the antigen testing is still experimental, it is expected to close the "window" of time it takes for the AIDS virus to show up after being contracted. For AIDS testing sites or information about the AIDS virus, contact the AIDS hotline at 271-2444 24 hours a day.
