UCO's AIDS Awareness Week is currently under way.

This piece is the first of a two-part story exploring the impact and prevention of the disease.

dd, flat, circular cloud formations ringed the top of Mt. Shasta.

Like the clouds in a Jetson's cartoon, they sat in distinct layers climbing to the top of the fabled Northern California mountain, one of the world's renowned spiritual destinations.

Weary from the 250-mile car trip after arriving from New York via San Francisco, the two friends searched the mountain for the perfect place. Disconcerted and confused, they finally found a place they deemed suitable—to inter their friend Tim's ashes.

The mountain had special meaning to Tim. An international model in his early 30s, pulling down a healthy six-figure income annually, Tim had seemed to be living a glamorous fantasy life. But that was before he was diagnosed with AIDS. The year was 1985, when the ramifications of the deadly virus were beginning to cut a swathe through the gay male population.

n 1994, much more is known about AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). But that hasn't seemed to dent many popular myths and misconceptions about the diseases and the prevention of them.

As of June 1994, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) cited 396,015 cases of AIDS in the United States. Of those, 240,323 have died. And its estimated nearly one million more Americans are currently infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). arrowing the numbers to Oklahoma, AIDS cases reported as of Oct. 31, 1994 number 2,125, with 58 percent of those, or 1,225, having died.

Bill Pearson, chief of the HIV/STD service for the Oklahoma State Department of Health, said the idea that AIDS only affects large metropolitan areas is incorrect.

"Of Oklahoma's 77 counties, 56 report two or more cases of AIDS," said Pearson. "And it takes a minimum of two

cases in a county before that county is counted."

In a 1992 Roper study, more Americans cited AIDS as a major prob-

If you think about it, it only takes one person per generation on the planet to carry on the disease.

In a Nov. 11 Associated Press (AP) story, new Clinton administration AIDS chief Patricia S. Fleming said half of all HIV infections occur before age 25 and one in four who become infected contract the virus before their 20th birthday.

One of Fleming's first jobs as AIDS boss after being tapped for the job Nov. 3, was to prepare a detailed report on the rapid increase in AIDS cases among adolescents.

In the AP story, Fleming expressed alarm that young people are increasingly tuning out the prevention message.

Although latex condoms have been the only contraceptive labeled by the FDA to be effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, use of condoms in sexually active adults and adolescents has been difficult to achieve.

• n a spring 1993 survey of sexually active Boston University undergraduates, 72 percent said they engaged in unprotected sexual intercourse. This, in spite of knowing about the disease and being afraid of infection.

David, a UCO senior, said, "I was a wild man until I met my fiancee."

The highest risk groups in the U.S. include intravenous drug users and male homosexuals with multiple partners.

But elsewhere, AIDS is a heterosexually transmitted disease. The World Health Organization estimates more than 3 million people have developed AIDS worldwide, and more than 14 million people have been infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Bob, a gay male and HIV-positive for six years, blames part of the worldwide spread of AIDS on: "747s and the sexual revolution."

"If you think about it, it only takes one person per generation on the planet to carry on the disease," said Bob.

`Safe sex never hurt anyone'

L

ast year they had sex. "They" were a couple, any age, anywhere. They could have been homosexual, they could have been heterosexual, it doesn't matter. They had sex without protection.

Last night one of them had sex with a new partner, and this time they used a condom. That condom had a leak. The new couple gave each other all their love, and one of them gave the other HIV. In today's constantly changing relationships it may not be long before one of them, or someone who has had sex with one of them, is introduced to you.

HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS, can be present in the next person you meet, and what can you do?

You can step away and hide from reality until they find a cure, assuming that there is a cure, or you can learn about AIDS and how to prevent it.

Of course, you could also go out and party, and live carefree not really caring whether or not you wind up with AIDS. Abstinence is not necessary to avoid AIDS. Partners can each take an AIDS test, allowing the proper time between sexual activities, wait for the results, and if the results come back clear then a monogamous relationship will be AIDS free in most cases.

Still, there are other ways of getting AIDS. Sharing needles comes to mind.

But then, drugs aren't considered safe anyway. Most people using drugs intravenously are aware of the risks.

Everyone has a measure of control over their destiny and with the information available on AIDS there are very few excuses for anyone contracting the virus.

Ignorance and apathy are not on the list.

Safe sex never hurt anyone.

Also, I would like to see weekend classes offered yearround to accommodate students who would take advantage of the courses offered. I feel it would help many students pick up more classes and still work.

Also, having weekend classes may help many students to complete their degrees earlier than expected.

Many students attend the university and classes tend to fill up fast, so offering weekend classes

could help many students.

I do see a positive outcome in offering weekend classes and I hope it works out and is a great success.

Job search help given through UCO services Stories By Susan Reger Student Writer Mid-December, many new UCO graduates will be taking the first steps toward finding a job.

Some students may take one last holiday to enjoy those final days of youth and innocence. Others, however, may need to get right down to business.

The first thing to do is focus on what your own personal goals are." said Dr. Kathryn Gage, director of Career Development and Placement Services (CD&PS). "Then, use available resources such as books, libraries or computerized programs."

Free to UCO students. the computerized systems called SIGI Plus and DISCOVER, located in the CS&PS office, offer in-depth information about occupations tailored to a student's personal profile, said Gage.

CD&PS, located on the third floor of the University Center, also has up-to-date reference books with names and literature about companies all over the nation. Career counselors are available and walk-ins are 1,velcome, said Gage.

As a general rule, Gage recommends that students register with their office at the beginning of their senior year.

Because the typical job search will last six months, Gage said students must consider their finances. This may be a time to move home or find a roommate.

Temporary jobs may offer a paycheck and valuable experience, said Gage. Part-time employment allows more time for the big job search.

"Students must ask themselves key questions to save time and avoid frustration," said Gage. "What kind of environment would I like to work in? What kind of companies hire people with my major? Am I willing to relocate?"

Put together a job search kit, said Gage.

This will include a good current resume, cover letter, business cards, transcripts, refer-

ences and possibly portfolios and videotapes.

She then recommended several things: ✓ "Then set goals about how many employers you will contact each week," said Gage. As job leads come in, don't get complacent. Having an interview does not assure you a job." ✓ Gage also recommends keeping a filing system of contacts and important information. ✓ "Networking is extremely important, - said Gage. - Use friends, family, professors and CD&PS staff. Employers have huge investments in employees and want to find someone who comes recommended." ✓ Students who register with the CS&PS office are eligible for on-campus interviews and have access to our job notebooks, said Gage. ✓ Also helpful are professional organizations and journals, Internet and state employment agencies. ✓ "Find out who does the hiring at each organization," said Gage. "Usually it will be someone in the human resource office or head of a specific department." ✓ Always follow up on important leads, which Gage said is as important as the initial contact. ✓ Gage said she believes preparation is the most important element in finding a job.

She recommends that students be tenacious and thank people along the way.

"Expect some rejec0.0 • tions and don't take it personally," said Gage. •• ■ •• "Patience and a good atti- ••• ■ • tude will serve students well."

Whether students start their job search now or after the holidays, a wellorganized plan will lead to success.

Dishonesty within academia addressed by administrators

By Julie Dye Staff Writer What should the university do with students who are less than honest in class?

A task force that will determine a university wide policy on academic dishonesty met Nov. 17 to answer that question.

Dudley Ryan, vice president of student services, said the task force of about 20 students, faculty and staff members will research various policies of other colleges in the state to compare with UCO's.

"Because we have so many transfer students, we need to be in step with the rest of the state," Ryan said.

Once the task force "comes up with something that is satisfactory for our campus," Ryan said, they will compose a proposal.

If Nigh approves it, the proposal will

4,

become policy on this campus.

The task force idea was born from a 1993 Faculty Senate proposal requesting a change in procedure for academic dishonesty.

The proposal states; "Currently the university has no procedure to follow in cases of academic dishonesty other than expelling the student. "...Sometimes the appropriate sanction is a less severe action."

The 1993 proposal called for written notification to, and response of, the student who is charged with academic dishonesty.

It also recommends a panel of faculty and students hear the case to determine if an offense occured and recommend punitive action.

Ryan said the task force may elect to use what other colleges are doing in concert with what is already in place, or choose to make no changes in current policy at all.

Students need to pay their tuition by Jan. 6 to avoid paying late penalties for the 1995 spring semester.

Students can pay by mail, use a drop box on campus or pay in person.

Paying by mail is the easiest way for students because they don't have to stand in a line, said David Koehn, controller of buisniness affairs at UCO.

Drop boxes are located next to the payment counter and outside of the Administration Building, and are available anytime. Payment must be paid in full.

Finally, Koehn suggests that students try to pay their tuition at least a week earlier than the due date if paying in person.

Looks like a Vivarin night.

Annual 'Pakistan Night' held

By Nicki Cormier

America recovers soldiers' remains HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A U.S. military honor guard escorted home No . 29 what are believed to be the remains of six to nine American servicemen killed in the Vietnam War. The remains were recovered by Vietnamese and American teams working together in a series of joint search operations.

The United States hopes improved relations with Vietnam will progress the learning of the fate of 1,624 Americans still missing from the war.

The teams also found bone fragments and teeth at three excavation sites where U.S aircrafts crashed, said Air Force Major Roger Overturf.

Six servicemen are missing in the three crashes. but the remains may not have come from all of them. said Overturf, a public affairs officer for the U.S. military unit investigating missing-in-action cases.

Vietnamese officials formally handed the remains over to the Americans in a ceremony at Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport. They were being flown to the Army's Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii for examination and possible identification.

Chinese party ends in fatal inferno BEIJING (AP) — Fire engulfed a dance hall during a party in northeastern China, killing 233 people and injuring 16, a local official said today.

Authorities were investigating the cause of the fire, which broke out Sunday afternoon in the town of Fuxin in Liaoning province, a woman at city hall said today. Identifying herself only as Ms. Jiang, she also provided the death toll.

Press reports said five of the 16 injured suffered serious burns.

Kyodo News Agency of Japan, quoting local journalists, said the fire was caused by an electrical malfunction and that it burned for over two hours before being extinguished.

Many of the victims. most of them students at a dance party, were trapped inside the hall, the report said.

Local officials could not confirm those reports. No other details were immediately available.

Staff Writer International students from Pakistan and Asia spent an evening enjoying food and entertainment as they celebrated Pakistan Night held at UCO's University Center Nov. 20.

Sponsored by UCO's Pakistan Student Association, Pakistan Night is an annual event honoring Pakistani organizations throughout the community.

A dinner of Biryani, a Pakistani dish consisting of meat, rice, spices and yogurt was served in the main cafeteria. The meal was provided by local Pakistani families and members of the Pakistan Student Association.

After dinner the Pakistani rock band Rivage entertained in the third floor ballroom.

As the band rocked, most of the men danced a native Punjabi dance while the girls sat with their families singing and clapping to the music.

"My family comes here every year," said Fatima Haleem. "We always have a good time."

Many of the participants were dressed in national costume, the men wearing "Lacha" and the women wearing colorful "Saris."

"This is a chance for Pakistani and Asian people to celebrate their culture and enjoy an evening of entertainment together," said Mohammed Masood, a member of the Pakistan Student Association.

Killed 6/23/93

V.W. bringing Beetle to Americas FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Hoping to cash in on American nostalgia, Volkswagen plans to produce a new version of its legendary Beetle for sale in the United States, Canada and South America.

VW has previously indicated the new Beetle might be built in Mexico, with production beginning in 1998 or 1999. It is to be priced at about $12,000 to $13,000.

The car is to keep the classic Beetle's round shape, but will have a front-mounted engine, unlike the rear-mounted, aircooled engine of the old Beetle. It will also have modern safety features, such as airbags and antilock brakes.

European production of the Beetle, which Volkswagan was created to build, stopped in 1978. The model was pulled from U.S. auto showrooms after costly air pollution and safety requirements made it obsolete, although it is still produced in Mexico and Brazil.

With some 21 million Beetles having rolled off the assembly line, it is the world's best-selling automobile.

China wants houses, not Big Macs lecl

HONG KONG (AP) — McDonald's has asked for urgent talks with Chinese authorities on the eviction order against its restaurant in central Beijing.

Reneging on a 20-year lease, Beijing authorities said last week that McDonald's must give up its prime location on the capital's Wanfujing shopping street to make way for a commercial and residential complex planned by Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing.

"We have contacted the city government of Beijing and asked for a meeting to discuss the matter as soon as possible," McDonald's said in a statement today.

The fast food group has not decided whether to take legal action, said Lianne Ng, marketing manager of BursonMarsteller, McDonald's publicist.

The 2-year-old restaurant, two blocks from Tiananmen Square, is one of 22 McDonald's outlets in China.

Sex, gender issues presented by professor at national convention

The distinction between sex and gender issues was the topic of a presentation made by Dr. Lewis Irving, UCO sociology professor, at the Nov. 11 National Gay and Lesbian Task Force convention in Dallas.

The theme of the convention was "Creating Change 1994."

"There's a distinctive difference between the concepts of sex and the concepts of gender," said Irving.

In the workshop, Irving gave the group data containing pictures of a very effeminate man dressed as Uncle Sam, making fun of the way the military is seen by some members of society.

Irving explained to the group that gay men are not any more effeminate than straight men. Society dictates that gay men are effeminate and therefore, they put on an act, he said.

"Gay men don't want to be women or have their genitals cut off," said Irving.

"A person with a gender issue is a completely different story. Sex is biological. Gender is socio-psychological.

Sex is born. Gender is taught," said Irving.

There is also a difference between a "drag queen" and a "female impersonator," said Irving.

Drag queens are gay and female impersonators are usually straight, he said.

Irving also confirmed the difference between a transvestite and a transsexual.

A transvestite is a man who dresses in women's clothes; a transsexual is a person who has undergone a sex-change operation, he said.

"We've got to distinguish between these people," Irving told the group.

At the convention, things did not go as planned, however. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Irving only had 15 minutes to present material that takes a week to present in class.

Irving attended the convention on behalf of UCO's Gay/Lesbian Alliance for Student Support (GLASS).

. Library 'triples' paper conservation by reverting to 'manual' system

By Cynthia Chung

Student Writer Date-due slips, which have been relegated to back drawers for the past four years, will be making a comeback this spring semester at the UCO library, said Carol Barry, assistant director of public services.

Barry said that by reverting to the former system, the library hopes to save both paper and money.

"We're figuring it's going to save us a minimum of $1,500 a year, and one of the big savings will be in the reserves collection," said Caroline Mahin, head of access services.

A single slip can be used approximately 64 times, Mahin said.

For Good Eating Try

That is triple the average a library book gets checked out within a year.

Under the existing system, for every book that gets checked out, the computer dispenses two slips of paper, one of which is blank.

The library and the computer

center tried to find ways to cut down the paperwork, but their efforts were in vain, said Barry.

The solution: to return to the previous system, whereby librarians check out each book by manually stamping the due date on the slip.

* AWARENESS continued from front page Part of the problem in spreading the virus lies in the fact that persons infected with HIV frequently remain asymptomatic for a number of years, and do not know they are infected with the HIV virus until health problems present themselves.

"I'm going to tell you something," said a healthy-looking woman in her 20s.

"Nobody ever knows I have AIDS unless I tell them. I could walk into a room, and nobody would ever know."

Contrasting the heterosexual and homosexual populations

ecause AIDS was first idetttP fied with the gay popti lation, gay men wer among the first to modify their: sexual practices, with the resul that the rates of AIDS and of sexually transmitted diseases declined in this group.

The danger for hemophiliacs0 contracting AIDS through .trans f sions was not recognized in)* ately; consequently, man s sexual partners were also An before safe sex practiceSW ommended for them.

Heterosexual adults have been slow to recognize risk and protect themselves through safer sex behaviors. But from 1985 through 1993, the proportion of people with AIDS acquired through heterosexual transmission increased from two to nine percent.

“ t he straight community has not been bombarded with the information about sexually transmitted diseases, especially diseases like hepatitis A and B, HIV, AIDS, herpes," said Dr. Lewis Irving, UCO professor teaching human sexuality.

"They develop this attitude that it's not going to happen to me. It's not a big issue. It's not impacting me...I don't know anyone that's died, or I do know maybe one that's died."

Irving contrasts that with the gay population.

"Having someone close to them die...and having someone they've been sexual with (die)...and knowing a large number of their age group peers (with the HIV virus)...is not something the heterosexual community has seen. So consequently they don't understand the dynamics of the disease."

But, Irving warns, the younger gay male does not seem to be heeding safe sexual practices.

"Unfortunately, I think that we're seeing the young gay male being less likely to use safe sex than his older counterpart... because I don't think he's seen the

death and destruction of HIV. "The older gay male is very concerned about it and is more likely to use safer sex techniques and practices," said Irving.

"The younger gay male is not as aggressive on that issue. But the gay community is very aggressive. And so the young gay person does have good role modeling that we don't see in the hetero population."

Statistics show the largest incidence of contracting the HIV virus happening in the late teen years and early 20s.

Because of the long incubation period of the virus, the disease shows up as AIDS heaviest in the 25 to 44 age group.

n 1992, AIDS became the second leading cause of death among persons ages 25 to 44, and the leading cause of death in , men; in

ing invasive cervical cancer.

Other conditions now being associated specifically with HIV are pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), genital warts and ulcers, severe herpes and yeast infections and cervical dysplasia (abnormal changes in tissue that precede cancer).

Yet women with AIDS may often be overlooked. In a recent study by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, HIV-positive women were three times less likely than HIV-infected men to be identified correctly in a New York City emergency room.

Numerous studies show women are more likely to initiate the use of condoms f fifty percent of the diagnosed in a sexual relationship.

"What do I say to a guy who won't use female AIDS cases in 1992 could be traced to heterosexual a condom? 'Goodbye?' Yeah.

Another problem seen in the gay population is termed "AIDS envy."

The relatively new phenomenon in the gay population has HIV-negative persons actually trying to be infected with the virus, Bob said.

Because of support groups, therapy and other services offered to those with AIDS and HIV, some gay persons feel left out and alone.

"Being gay can be a lonely thing in itself. When you are HIV-positive, you become part of a group. You have people you can express your feelings with," Bob said.

Not enough guns for UCO Broncho cagers finish 6th at Denny Menholt Shootout

Lady Bronchos get smothered at tourney

By Rachel Schnitzer Sports Writer

The Lady Broncho basketball team is off to its worst start since the 85-86 season, and it doesn't get any easier.

Entering the Missouri Southern Tournament with an 0-2 record, UCO squared off against host MSU Friday.

The Lady Lions breezed past UCO 111-48, as the Lady Bronchos shooting woes continued.

Shooting a mere 13.8 percent from the field and missing all three-point tries, the Lady Bronchos fell behind 54-16.

A disappointing first half led to a less disappointing second half of play.

Hitting 14-40 from the field, UCO improved its scoring output from 16 to 32.

Three-pointers were still a problem for the Lady Bronchos,

By Scott Moore Sports Editor

The Central Oklahoma basketball team gunned down one team but was out-gunned by two others at the Denny Menholt Shootout at Billings, Mont. Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The Bronchos compiled a disappointing 1-2 record at the tournament but lost those two games by a combined total of just five points. UCO was edged by California-Riverside 83-82 in the opening round but rebounded with a 96-91 victory over Colorado Christian. UCO then dropped the fifth place game 110-106 to Montana State-Billings for a sixth place finish.

The rough tournament featured four nationally ranked teams with 18th-ranked UCO facing two teams in the top 20.

"The competition level was excellent," said Head Coach James Seward. "The fact that we were playing top 20 teams and we were competitive with those teams and certainly could have won makes me feel good about this basketball team. I don't think we are playing the way we are capable of playing but we've proved that we are competitive."

The Bronchos were out shot 48-41 percent for the tournament.

UCO was led by senior guard Zoderick Green and senior forward Junie Sanders who averaged 24 and 20 points per game respectively. Green shot 44 percent from beyond the three-point arc hitting

unable to sink any in the second half they finished 0-13.

UCO was also plagued by a poor performance at the freethrow line.

In the first half, they sank 811, but made only 4-10 in the second, giving them a 57.1 freethrow percentage.

Saturday, the Lady Bronchos tipped off against Pittsburg State.

UCO fell behind in the first 35-24, with another poor shooting performance, only 25 percent.

The Lady Bronchos were slowed in the second by two players fouling out, and fell to the Gorillas 83-53.

The Lady Bronchos were led

by Emily Hoffman who scored 12 in the game and 21 in the tournament.

UCO opens its home season this weekend with the Central Oklahoma Classic. The 0-4 Lady Bronchos will play Lincoln at 8 p.m. Friday and Missouri Southern at 3 p.m. Saturday.

UCO wrestlers shine at Vegas Melchiori wins title; Bronchos finish 11th among division I foes

By Jimmy Hyde

Sports Writer

Any questions about whether the three-time defending NCAA Division II national Champion Central Oklahoma could compete with the Division I schools, were laid to rest last weekend at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, a tournament made up of mostly Division I teams.

UCO senior 126 pounder Brian Melchiori led the Bronchos, winning a 12-3 major decision over Wyoming's Tom Hickenlooper in the finals, becoming UCO's firstever Las Vegas champion.

Melchiori is only the second Las Vegas finalist for the Bronchos, the other being Benny Coleman in 1983.

Melchiori defeated Boise State's Chris Ward in the first round, won a 16-6 major decision over Jessie Shaffer of Colorado School of Mines in the second round and won his quarterfinal match versus Cal Poly's Dan Long 11-4.

In the semifinals Melchiori pinned Oregon's Jeremy Ensurud at 1:27 in the first period.

Melchiori went 5-0 in Las Vegas, upping his record to 11-2 on the season with two tournament titles on the year.

"Obviously we were pleased with our showing in Las Vegas,

Brian Melchiori said Head Coach David James.

"Anytime you have an individual champion in a tournament of this caliber it's a feather in your cap," said James.

UCO racked up 49.5 team points en route to their best ever showing in the tournament finishing 1 1 th and setting a school record with four wrestlers placing at the tournament.

Mike Keim, 134, took fourth, after rebounding from a second round loss winning five straight matches, including wins over the third and fourth seeds, before losing in the consolation finals to Steve Schmidt of OSU 6-3.

Also placing for UCO were Jerry Best,142, sixth and Keith Kizarr, 118, seventh.

Defending NCAA Division I national champion Oklahoma State won the tournament for the second straight time with 116.2 points.

No SGA spring election to be held for 'seats'

December 1, 1994

UCO Freshman Queen elections to be held after break

By David L Hanigar Staff Writer Those that took the time to complete an application and attend a mandatory meeting will be Student Government Association (SGA) senators for the spring semester— simple as that.

No election will be held for spring seats in the SGA senate this semester. By 5 p.m.

Tuesday, only 21 applications were submitted for the 22 seats available.

"Because there are less people than there are seats available, there is no need for an election," said Adam Harwood, student body vice president and election committee chairman.

In addition to general information, the senate applications also required 50 signatures from UCO students. Senators must be enrolled in six hours and are required to maintain a 2.0 GPA. The additional seat will be open. Those interested should pick up an application from the SGA office on the fourth floor of the University Center, Harwood said.

Although applicants do not need the 50 signatures, they must meet the other requirements and undergo a series of interviews with the SGA President Ben Harris and the continuum committee. The senators for the spring are: David Tackett, Brian Spence, Jon Jarboe, Dustin Gregory, Amber Guthrie, Jonathan Klein, Subrata Debnath, Michael Dunbar, Michele Baskin, Muhammad Feizal, Mohammed Masood, Donna Whinery, Igbal Butt, Scott Davenport, Kamran Azim, Matt Keyworth, Miguel Oquendo, Douglas J.

New prof brings unusual hobby to UCO

lutter decorated the room as boxes filled with memories grew from the floor of the small office in the Safety Education Annex Building. Book shelves faced with glass housed a peculiar item.

From a distance it resembled drift wood. A closer look reveals leather, shaped to form a lifesized face.

Dr. Richard Braley, a new assistant professor of industrial safety in the occupational and technology department at UCO, loves to spend his spare time making leather masks on live models.

"I don't think anyone could buy what I have learned," Braley said. "It can't be shown. It's one of those love relationships that exist rarely in our lives."

Braley explained that the art is created by soaking vegetable tanned leather in chemicals, then forming it to a model's face. The leather remains in place for 15 to 30 minutes while the molding takes place, and a mask begins to form.

Before UCO, Braley attended East Texas State University working on his doctorate degree, working a grant, teaching school and pastoring his church.

Braley has 25 years of experience in the industrial safety industry. He worked with two major corporations, food Machinery and Chemical Corporation, as well as being a systems analyst for Kearney Trecker Corporation.

Braley, in his wire rimmed glasses and casual attire, reclines in his chair as he tells stories of spending vacations with his family, probing and investigating in the world of electronics. His hands fluttered frantically as he dug for an antique electronic board, kept locked away where it was safe from damage or thieves.

Two of Braley's daughters are attending The University of the Ozarks in Arkansas, both on full scholarship. His youngest is a sophomore at Del City High School.

When time permits, Braley spends time with his family and church. He also enjoys tinkering with electronics and finds technology amazing. As far as the future goes, Braley said he is happy where he is, but would like to learn a foreign language.

The students attended a minority business leadership conference at Oklahoma City Community College Nov. 10.

Local minority business leaders spoke at the conference giving tips on how to survive in the business world.

"The BSA was well repre-

rented with eight students in attendance," said Barry Lofton, coordinator of multicultural student services.

'Tokens of Taos' student art exhibit winners announced

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer The Donna Nigh Gallery will present awards to three photographers when it hosts a reception for the Tokens of Taos II exhibition Dec. 6.

The display features photographs taken by a group of UCO students and alumni who traveled to Taos, N.M. during fall break. It runs through Dec. 15.

The winning photographers are Dagmar M. Peery, Susan Lively and Tom Huber.

The pictures were judged by Dr. Jo Ann Adams, director of the Donna Nigh Gallery.

Peery won the $100 Purchase Award for "Hammocks," a photo of colorful hammocks hanging in a shop in Taos.

"You'd think a lot of people would have gotten the picture, but she was the only one who took it," said Adams.

By winning the Purchase Award, Peery's photo will become part of the gallery's permanent collection.

The $50 Merit Award in black and white photography went to Susan Lively for "Passage of Light."

Tom Huber won the $50 Merit Award in color photography for "Three Peppers."

By Jennifer Sanders Student Writer

EFD 'burns down the house'

By Susan Reger Student Writer Just west of the UCO campus, Edmond firefighters set a small house on fire Monday as part of a practice session.

"Occasionally, a homeowner will call us about a property they need torn down," said Major Arnie Postier, assistant training officer for the Edmond Fire Department.

"We agree to burn the house down, which gives us an opportunity to give

our firemen real live training and help our homeowner at the same time."

Onlookers watched as firefighters practiced rescue operations on the home at 213 E. Edwards.

The firefighters were dressed in full gear and practiced rescue technique in several locations of the home.

"The training sessions also offer firefighters a chance to practice distinguishing fires using different blowing methods and equipment," Postier said. "We may start and stop a fire from five to 10 times in one session."

UCO and the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce will hold the Third Annual Town and Gown Dinner and Dance Dec. 6 in the University Center Ballroom.

"President Nigh started the Town and Gown to bring the University and the community closer together," said Ed Pew, executive assistant to UCO President George Nigh.

Guest entertainer for the event will be 1940s recording artist, Kay Starr. Starr is known for performing songs such as "Wheel of Fortune" and "Sidg by Side."

Nigh will award the Kay Starr Scholarship and the Ralph Blane Scholarship to two UCO students performing at the event.

"A Christmas medley will be performed by the UCO choir, jazz band and music theater students, " said Tamara Long, professor of music and theater at UCO. The evening will begin with a reception at 6 p.m. in the Donna Nigh Gallery in the

Kay Starr

University Center. The Gallery will feature "Tokens of Taos" photographic exhibition, comprising the work of 25 UCO students.

The dinner and dance will begin at 7 p.m.

The event is open to the public and is expected to be a sell out. Tickets can be purchased through the president's office for $17.50 each.

KCSC to begin holiday programming Dec.7

By Deanna McMahan

Student Writer UCO's own radio station KCSC 90.1 FM will begin a holiday programming series at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 .

The first selection will be "The Chanukkah Story with Theodore Bikel," said Kent Anderson, program director for the clasSical station.

The series will feature sixteen different programs.

Some of the programs are taped from a satellite and played back at a more convenient time for listeners, Anderson said.

Three "live" broadcasts will air on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. The featured holiday specials are distributed by Public Radio International, said Anderson.

The second musical special "Handel's Messiah with

Christopher Hogwood and the Handel and Haydn Society". will air from 12:10-3:09 p.m. on Dec. 15.

Due to the length of this production, there will be three brief breaks for station identification, he said.

"The third selection in the series will feature a combination of Native American and Hispanic influences," said Anderson.

"A Southwestern Christmas" will air Dec. 16 from 9-9:59 p.m.

The featured choir, the Bach Choir from Phoenix, Ariz., will sing some selections in Spanish.

Subsequent holiday programs will feature storytelling and vocals.

If you are tired of 'Jingle Bells' and 'Frosty the Snowman,' tune in to 90.1 for something new and wonderful," said Anderson.

Plans in action to install student computers with Internet-accessible systems The computer center at UCO is looking into the feasibility of installing at least 20 Internetaccessible computers for students by the end of 1995, said Maithreyi Manoharan, computer center director.

"We are taking under consideration...plans to let every student (at UCO) gain access to the Internet," said Manoharan.

Orders for two computers with Internet access have been placed and are scheduled to

arrive sometime in the spring semester.

The computers will be located in the UCO library, next to the CD-ROM terminals.

Manoharan said the two computers have only research facilities and cannot be used to send or receive electronic mail.

Because of budget constraints and space limitations, priority must be given to students who need the computers more, said Manoharan.

Alumni honors non-traditional students with reception tonight

By Sherrey Crabtree Student Writer

U

CO's Alumni Association would like to recognize students who work all day and take night classes at "Alumni After

Dark" 6-8:30 p.m. today in the Max Chambers Library.

Alumni board members will inform students about the activities and services of the UCO Alumni Association.

"We feel that most of the activities accommodate day students and we needed something to accommodate night students," said Heather Nakonezny, coordinator of alumni special events.

Donna Peters, university alumni director, said those students who take classes during evening hours comprise over

half of UCO's student population.

"One of the most often repeated compliments paid to UCO by its alumni is that a degree can often be obtained by attending evening classes," Peters said.

Refreshments will be served by members of the UCO Alumni Association Board of Directors during "Alumni After Dark."

For more information about "Alumni After Dark," call 3412980, Ext. 2775.

By Rome Shubert Student Writer

A classic tale is coming to UCO. Hansel and Gretel will be performed by the UCO music department Dec. 1-4.

Melanie Maltsberger, music department publicist, said approximately 100 UCO students will be in the production.

The director, Carveth Osterhaus, said it is a wonderful opera about the classic tale.

"Hansel and Gretel is really composed for adults and children," said Osterhaus.

Osterhaus said children enjoy the tale of Hansel and Gretel, as told in an opera format.

The producer, Kay Creed, is

going to Raleigh, N.C. in December to sing in the national opera of the character, the witch, said Osterhaus.

Another actress in UCO's opera, Lisa Carrier, will be going to Raleigh to sing the part of Gretel, said Osterhaus.

The opera will be shown at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

A special performance for area high school students is scheduled for 10 p.m. Thursday.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mitchell Hall Theater Box Office from 1:30-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Each book will include a short biography and the writings and speeches of a noted Oklahoman.

The first book in the series, Lyle Boren: The Distinguished Congressman, will include a foreword by his son, David Boren, former U.S. Senator and current president of the University of Oklahoma.

Subjects of the books are selected by a committee of Oklahomans who have shown a true interest in Oklahoma's heritage.
