City nixes church Christmas tree AUBURN, N.Y. (AP) — Plans to put up a 14-foot tall Christmas tree in a church sanctuary have been canceled after city officials said the evergreen posed a fire hazard.

The First Presbyterian Church received a fire safety notice last week from the Auburn Fire Department, said the Rev. Dennis Haines, pastor of the 400-member church about 35 miles west of Syracuse.

For years, city firefighters enforced the law only when someone filed a complaint, Assistant Fire Chief Patsy DiNonno said. But this year, after a training session in which Christmas safety was discussed, firefighters decided to remind the public about the law, he said.

Haines said he agreed with the safety issue. He just wished city officials had allowed more time for church members to get an artificial tree large enough for the sanctuary, he said.

"Why couldn't they let us know in June?" Haines asked.

Whoopi accused of anti-semitism NEW YORK (AP) — Actress Whoopi Goldberg was accused of ethnic stereotyping in a joke recipe she contributed to a Connecticut fund-raising cookbook.

Her "Jewish American Princess Fried Chicken" appears in "Cooking in Litchfield Hills," a cookbook sold to benefit the environmentalist Pratt Center.

Goldberg has a house in affluent Litchfield County in northwestern Connecticut.

Among the recipe's directions: "Send a chauffeur to your favorite butcher shop for the chicken," "Watch your nails," and "Have cook prepare rest of meal while you touch up your makeup."

"I don't think it's funny," Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League told the Daily News.

"It's totally insensitive because it raises all the ugly anti-Semitic stereotypes."

Goldberg's publicist, Brad Cararelli, said: "Maybe (the critics) are not aware that Whoopi is Jewish, so she is certainly not anti-Semitic." ♦ See WORLD WRAP, Page 10

UCO worker offers $100 reward for stolen property

By Janet Runge Staff Writer

A $100 reward is being offered for information leading to the recovery of property stolen from the costume shop on the UCO campus Nov. 18.

Mary Freeh, who works for UCO as a costumer is personally offering the reward.

Bed Hall, assistant technical director in the drama department discovered that a Singer sewing machine and a serger sewing machine were missing from the shop Nov. 18.

Both machines were bought in September of this year and are valued at $750.

Hall said it appeared someone loosened the bolts on the east side bay door to gain entrance to the building, then used a chisel to get into the locked costume shop.

"There was scratches and scarring on the latch mechanism and the door," said Hall.

In addition to the sewing equipment, a CD player and 10 CDs belonging to Robert Pittenridge, a guest designer, were stolen from the costume shop sometime between 4:30 p.m. Nov.15 and 12:30 p.m. Nov. 16, said Freeh.

"I have a feeling it was an inside job," said Freeh, "I'm hoping someone will come forward so we can reclaim our property. It's just not right."

Anyone with information about the theft can call 3412980, Ext. 5151, or 340-2369.

But, where do you hang the permit?

Now bicycles are not safe from the ticketers. Fortunately for the owner of this bike, he will find out that the wind had placed the ticket on the bike and not the police patrol.

`Innocent until proven guilty' does it really exist?

W

hen a high profile person is in the news, it seems as if they don't have the same right to being innocent till proven guilty as others do.

For instance, Michael Jackson's name is being splattered all over magazines along with the words "scandal" and "child molestation." This man, who was (and probably still is) a role model for thousands of children and adults, is now considered a monster due to a few well slung rumors and his own shyness of dealing with the press.

Jackson was going to be nominated fora humanitarian award , but no longer. The organization revoked the award because of all the scandal. People are hissing at his name and are gleefully saying "I told you so" when they hear of his alleged drug addiction.

Nevertheless, they have the right to say what they will and feel what they will. That is the way it should be. However, a trial has not yet been had and his guilt has not yet been proven. How cruel it is to take away a nomination from someone just because of what is now just rumors.

Jackson is considered guilty in the eyes of the media and the public until he proves himself innocent.

On the other side of the spectrum, John Demjanjuk is also a victim of the same sentence. He was going to be extradited to Israel to face charges of being a notorious Nazi war criminal. He returned to the U.S. after the convictions were overturned. For now, Demjanjuk is innocent by law.

He was charged with being Ivan the Terrible, a sadistic guard at the Treblinka concentration camp. It was decided he was not Ivan the Terrible, but was probably a guard at another concentration camp.

However, though his accusers found him not guilty, the U.S. State Department tried to keep Demjanjuk out of America, saying basically that if Demjanjuk isn't guilty of those crimes, then he is guilty of something. After all, he lied about his German military career when he came to the U.S., didn't he?

Both these men may be guilty of everything being said about them. But, in America, they are innocent until someone can prove that they are, after all, guilty.

UCO alumnus chastises those responsible for band "no show"

wish to write in response to last Saturday's conclusion for the 1993-94 football season of the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos.

UCO band members defend "no show" n behalf of a consider able number of Uni versity of Central Oklahoma band members, I would like to express — not defend — my response to Lloyd D. Noel's letter in the Nov. 23 Vista.

We respect Mr. Noel's opinions, but would like to point out a few conditions that have resulted in our "no shows."

First, in reference to the Nov. 13 football game, all band members received notice from our directors

O

Vol. 92, No. 23 (USPS 661-700)

for such action. There is no excuse why a university's band does not participate in the school spirit. Further, I feel that it is the responsibility of the band to help provide school spirit.

Sadly enough, this is not the only thing for which the band failed to appear this year. I was likewise saddened when the band did not participate in the Homecoming parade. In my opinion, failure to lead

only 20 minutes before we were to perform pregame, and then released.

The rain, as any band member knows, is detrimental to the pads, corks, and reeds of woodwinds and affects the performance of all instruments as well. The color guard cannot twirl accurately with heavy rain-soaked flags, and would have been forced into the stands throughout the game.

As far as away football games and basketball playoffs are con-

cerned, perhaps if we were in a higher college division such as Oklahoma University and Oklahoma State University, demanding more of our services, we would attend all appropriate functions.

In a final note, I would like to thank you for taking notice, Mr. Noel. If the UCO band had more avid fans and supporters such as yourself, we would have the flexibility to do more.

Tricia Canon, was crowned Freshmen Queen Nov. 18 at the 1993 Freshmen Queen Dance held in the University Center Grand Ballroom.

"I was really surprised because I thought all the candidates did a really good job.

Elections were held Nov. 10 and 11 in the Liberal Arts Building and the University Center.

Other candidates were Lori Word, sponsored by West Hall; Jennie Coker, sponsored by Alpha Gamma Delta and Christy Brown, sponsored by Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students (BACCHUS).

Buddist monks to perform sand painting

By Terri King Staff Writer A group of Buddist monks will perform an elaborate sand painting ceremony 10 a.m. — 6 p.m. Dec. 4 - 7, Room 109 in the Art and Design building on the University of Central Oklahoma campus as part of a benefit tour to raise money for refugee projects and to rebuild an ancient monastery destroyed

by Chinese Communists.

The monks are being sponsored in Oklahoma by the Oklahoma Metaphysical Society.

The dul-tsun-kyil-khor ceremony, which means "mandala of colored powders," is an ancient Tibetan ceremony lasting for several days or weeks.

As soon as the mandala is finished, a closing ceremony is performed and the "sand paint-

ing" is immediately swept up in order to symbolize the impermanence of existence.

The sand paintings, or mandalas, are made by using a small funnel with a fine point. A metal bar is rubbed along the top of the funnel to create a small vibration causing the grains to fall precisely into place.

Colored sand as well as powdered flowers, herbs, grains and stone are used to create the mandalas. In ancient times, powdered precious and semi-precious stones were also used.

The monks will visit 100 cities throughout North, Central and South America on their "Sacred Music, Sacred Dance for World Healing " tour and will perform only 12 sand paintings in the country during their stay.

"This is quite a rare event to be shared with this part of the country," said Pat Dillehay, sec-

retary for the Oklahoma Metrephysical Society (OMS).

Dillehay said OMS asked the monks to do a sand painting and asked the Art and Design department at UCO to host the event because no auditorium could be found in town.

"It will be a unique opportunity for students here to see something like this because it really is a performance art. It's never been done here before and may never be done again in Oklahoma," said Dr. William Hommel, chairperson of the Art and Design department.

Public television station OETA channel 13 will present a documentary about the monks Dec. 1 at 10:30 p.m. and Dec. 7 at 8:30 p.m.

For more information, contact the Art and Design department at 341-2980, Ext. 5202, or the OMS information line at 9469667.

Oklahoma regents consider hiring consultant,. former OU leader

By Roy Howe

Staff Writer

To help better evaluate university presidents, Paul Sharp, a former University of Oklahoma leader, is being considered as a consultant to the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges for its annual reviews.

Usually conducted about the first of the year, presidential evaluations are tools to familiarize the regents with the university president's visions for their universities.

Last year, regents evaluated the six presidents governed by the board in two days. Three presidents were evaluated per day with each gathering lasting two hours.

"It's really a planning time with them (university presidents)," said regent

Paul Barby. "So we can understand each other and where we're going. It's a positive tool for communication with our presidents," he said.

The regents established an ad hoc committee last September to determine whether a specialist is needed to help them establish new tools for their annual reviews.

The regents have not yet decided if they will enlist Sharp, Barby said, but he is expected to be present at their next regular meeting in January.

On Nov. 19, the regents went behind closed doors to discuss "evaluation, assessment, continued employment and other information relevant to the employment of the presidents.."

"As a result of the executive session, the board reconvened in public session and announced their intent to pursue further study of the evaluation process with the presidents," Barby said.

"When you hear the word evaluation people generally

RESERVE

jump to a negative conclusion—that something is wrong.

"They (university presidents) don't have to be evaluated," he said. "Although some say that we evaluate them everyday."

Barby said that evaluations are positive steps toward an understanding between the regents and the presidents.

He said that the position of president of a university is a very complex and diverse responsibility and that few people realize the pressures that they face.

As a consultant, "Sharp understands the role of the president and their tasks," Barby explained. "This is someone who knows the pressures presidents face."

Notification by the regents of intent to renew a president's contract must be made

by March 1. A university president's term runs from July 1 through June 30.

UCO professor to sign books at association's autograph party Dec. 5

Student Writer Dr. Diane Neal Kremm, University of Central Oklahoma professor of history and geography will be signing copies of the book she co-wrote, The Lion of the South: General Thomas C. Hindman, at the Oklahoma

Heritage Association's "Meet the Authors and Artists" autograph party Dec. 5.

Kremm is one of 50 authors who will be participating in the association's first autograph session since 1987.

"People don't write books, a new one every year, so it was hard to come up with different people or the same people with different books," said Stacy Alldredge, director of the Oklahoma Heritage Bookcenter and a UCO graduate.

The association decided to host another autograph party since it has been 6 years since the last one. The number of authors invited to participate has also been increased.

"We decided to make it even bigger and go with 50 authors

TR AINING

instead of the 20 or 30 they normally have," Alldredge said.

The theme for the party is "Give Oklahoma for Christmas." The authors are either from Oklahoma or have written a book related to Oklahoma. The purpose of the autograph session is to promote Oklahoma material, she said.

"That's basically what the Oklahoma Heritage Association does," Alldredge said. "They're trying to preserve the heritage of Oklahoma, trying to get people to buy things that are Oklahoma related so that the money can stay here, and people can learn more about the state."

Four artists will also be displaying and selling their work.

Roland Myers will display his wood sculptures. Austin Real Rider will display Natives American sculpture. Patrick Sawyer will be showing his wildlife paintings, and Nona Vance will display watercolor and acrylic wildlife paintings.

The party will be from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Christian Life Center at the St. Luke's Methodist Church.

Students to compete in kick boxing championship

By Joy McNutt

Staff Writer Two University of Central Oklahoma students will fight in the World Kick Boxing Association Championship Friday.

UCO back-up quarterback Brant Bertrand will fight against Rob Holloway of Albuquerque, N.M. and business sophomore Brock Boyd will fight Danny Zanniti for the Oklahoma Muay Thi Kick Boxing Amateur light weight title.

The competition will be held at 7 p.m. at the Zoo Club at 1508 S. E. 25th St., in Oklahoma City.

Kick boxing is more brutal than Tae Kwon Do competition, said Rafael Lovato, instructor at Martial Arts International in Oklahoma

r

City.

Muay Thi kicks are a little bit more violent, said Boyd who has practiced Thi kicking for over one and a half years. The kicking is done with the chin with no snapping action.

"It's like swinging a baseball bat—going all the way through the target," he said.

"The hand work is good oldfashioned American boxing: f

Fighters can kick to the leg or the rest of the body except the knee or groin, Boyd said.

"We don't let anybody get hurt," said promoter Buddy Albin. "Everybody is matched equally."

Muay Thi is the national sport of Thailand, Boyd said.

There will be 15 fights at the competition. Admission is $10, or $5 with a UCO-ID card, Albin said.

UCO takes first step in establishing medieval club

By Terri King Staff Writer A first step was taken in the task to get a new medieval club off the ground at the University of Central Oklahoma with a meeting that was held Nov. 23 in the Liberal Arts building.

"We are putting together the requirements we need to be officially recognized on cam-

pus," said Dr. Stephen Law, humanities and philosophy chairperson who, together with Dr. Margaret Flansburg, will be a sponsor of the club.

Law said there has been a great deal of interest in the medieval humanities class he has taught in the past and many students have for a long time shown an interest in a medieval club.

At the meeting, students and

faculty from the English, foreign language and philosophy departments discussed preliminary plans for the club.

"We hope to attract other disciplines inside and outside Liberal Arts," said Law. Law said many students are attracted to the study of Medieval times by the allure of castles, knights and revels.

Law points out that the Middle Ages are a source of

many of our religious convictions; the hierarchical nature of our political and academic systems and the structure of feudalism that has been carried over to the present day.

Law said the concept of the university was created in the Middle Ages as well as the seven liberal arts as the core of education.

A primary focus of the club will be scholarly and members

hope to be able to give presentations and bring scholars to the UCO campus the give lectures, said Law. "Our goal is not to recreate the past, but to understand it, but I believe theoretical knowledge without application is undesirable.

"Right now, we are putting together a constitution and our numbers are likely to be growing as word gets out.

Kappa Phi receives charter

By Terri King

Staff Writer

The Beta Delta chapter of the Kappa Phi club, a nondenominational Christian women's service organization, received its national charter this year and is now a recognized campus organization at the University of Central Oklahoma.

Kappa Phi has been meeting regularly for two years at the Wesley Foundation, located at 311 E. Hurd. The organization has successfully completed a one-year probation period required by the national organization before it can receive its charter.

Kappa Phi incorporates and encourages worship, study, service, fellowship and sisterhood into its parties and activities, said Kappa Phi

member, Candace Spitzer.

"Kappa Phi is a sisterhood, not a sorority. It's more like a club. We want anyone who wants to join, to join," said Spitzer.

Spitzer said pledges must be women enrolled in classes at UCO, but do not have to necessarily be Christians and may be members of other campus organizations.

"You don't have to be a certain religion or a certain age to be in Kappa Phi. We don't discriminate against anyone who wants to join.

Our main aspect is to do service to the community," said Spitzer.

The Department of Visual Arts and Design is presenting its annual Fall Graduating Student's Art Show Nov. 28 through Dec. 14 at the University of Central Oklahoma's Museum of Art. The show, entitled "Limelight, — features the work of artists Denise Eley, Nevah Foster, Shefuga Haubrich, Mary Knox, Elizabeth Muller, Shawna Ronald, Gina Achaupabach, Adrienne Sulzucki, Linda Wick, Jennifer Wise and Layla Vanderslice.

Students must matte, frame

and hang their own work for the exhibit. They must also prepare a written thesis statement providing an overview of their artistic philosophy to the faculty of their work.

Museum Director, William Wallo, said the show gives the students an opportunity to assess their own artistic vision.

"Many times students haven't appraised and seen their own evolution. As a faculty, we think it's important for students to come up for air and look at their own work," said Wallo.

Wallo said the faculty regards

the show as a capstone event for the students.

"It's an opportunity for graduating seniors to show what they've done over the years," said Dr. William Hommel, Chairperson of the Visual arts and Design department.

The show is free to the public and is open 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.

- 8 p.m. Thursday and 1 - 5 p.m.

Sunday. The opening reception is Sunday, Nov. 28 1- 5 p.m. in the Central Museum of Art. For more information, call 341-298, Ext. 5209.

Guest speaker stresses importance of community colleges in students' education

By Dayna Poarch

Student Writer

Dr. David Pierce, president of the American Association of Community Colleges, said more people use community colleges to enter higher education than any other form of institution.

Pierce, a guest speaker in the History and Philosophy of Community Colleges class at the University of Central Oklahoma Nov. 29, said community colleges are the institute of choice for minorities, veterans and women who are returning to the work force.

"I think community colleges are the principle access institutions into higher education for the country," he said.

Pierce said he believes students who start at community colleges will perform just as well as those who start at universities.

"I think there are many instances of students who, if a community college were not there to provide them that access, would not be involved in higher education," he said.

The future of community colleges is positive. At this time there are approximately 1200 community colleges nationwide and 13 in Oklahoma, and the system is continuing to grow, Pierce said.

"Right now, approximately half of all students enrolled in higher education are enrolled in community colleges," he said.

Eventually, a demand for community college teachers may be possible since many instructors who began with the program in the 1960s will be retiring, he said.

Pierce said he believes the program at UCO is a successful program that's filling a "very real need."

"They (UCO) are literally trying to produce teachers for community colleges that have an understanding of community colleges...and are strongly based in instructional methodology and instructional technology and learning practices," he said.

The State Regents for Higher Education approved the deletion of the Master of Education in Corrimunity/Junior College Education Aug. 13. Under the Academic Planning Resource

Allocation system (APRA), institutions must prioritize and shift available resources from the low-priority programs to the high-priority programs. (The Vista, Aug 26, 1993) Pierce, an Edmond native and Bethany High School graduate, helped start a community college in California and one in Illinois. He has served as the president of AACC for two and a half years.

AACC is the organization that serves as the national voice for community colleges. It represents community colleges with the executive branch of government, national media and the national corporate structure, he said.

"We react to and testify on legislation that we have an interest in," Pierce said. "We respond to...and try to influence regulation that is put out by the various departments."

AACC is an information-driven leadership organization. It attempts to be the main source of information about community colleges, he said.

"If we're anything, we are learning and teaching institutions," Pierce said.

Woman accused of starving baby lost rights to two other children FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP) — A woman accused of starving her baby to death lost parental rights to two other children a year earlier in Oklahoma.

According to an Aug. 28, 1992, order filed in Sequoyah County, Okla., Cassie Inez Gregory did not participate in parenting sessions, pay child support, or contact, support or visit her two oldest children regularly.

Ms. Gregory, 21, faces one count of second-degree murder in the Oct. 25 death of her youngest child, Jessica Renee Haag.

Authorities say the 6-week-old girl died of malnutrition and dehydration.

The baby's father, Frederick Joseph Haag, also is charged with second-degree murder.

The 1992 order said Ms. Gregory's oldest children, Amber and Allysa IvIcLernore, were judged on June 4, 1990, to be suffering from parental neglect. The girls' father, Rodney McLemore, lost his parental rights May 28, 1992.

Survey reports consumer confidence up, better times ahead NEW YORK (AP) — Consumer confidence rose sharply in November, reflecting greater optimism about the job market and the economy in general, a widely followed survey reported today.

The Conference Board, a New York research group that tracks sentiment through a monthly poll, said its consumer confidence index registered an unexpectedly strong gain of 11 points to 71.2, up from a revised 60.5 reading in October.

Such a rise in the survey of consumer sentiment "has occurred only rarely in the 25-year history of this survey program," the Conference Board said.

The index, calculated on a 1985 base of 100, is derived from consumer responses to questions that range from home-buying plans to local job conditions. It is considered a useful barometer for gauging the economic outlook.

"The impressive magnitude of the November gain strongly suggests that better times may well be on the way," said Fabian Linden, executive director of The Conference Board consumer research center, which conducts the poll of 5,000 U.S. households.

Dutch legislation to give doctors liberal policy on mercy killings THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — After weeks of debate, Parliament's upper house narrowly approved legislation today that will give the Dutch the industrialized world's most liberal euthanasia policy.

While it does not formally legalize mercy killing, the legislation sets a reporting requirement and guidelines that will virtually guarantee physicians immunity from prosecution if followed.

The bill, which was approved by the lower house in February, cleared its last legislative hurdle 37-34. Four members of the upper house did not vote.

The measure was expected to go to Queen Beatrix for signing within 24 hours, and becomes law after it is signed by Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch-B allin. That final ministry review is expected to take about 10 days.

The Bible is true and is to be taken literally.

This topic was debated Nov. 22 at the University Of Central Oklahoma by John Bjorlie of the Gospel Folio Press in Michigan, and Dr. John George, UCO professor of political science.

George was against the literal interpretation of the Bible, while Bjorlie favored it.

Bjorlie used testimonial, documentary and eyewitness evidence from the Bible to support his claims.

"Matthew, John and Peter were actual eyewitnesses of His (God) glory," said Bjorlie.

"We are talking contradictions here," said George.

According to George the Bible contains many contradictions, some of which he used to support his position.

George said that there are contradictions about how long it took for Christ to rise from the grave and how He was crucified.

"Was He hanged on a gibbet (forked stick), or was He crucified? I'm simply pointing out to you contradictions and absurdities," said George.

In response to George's statements, Bjorlie said, "...the gibbet could have been lifted up to a crossbar," and that the scripture "does use figurative language."

George brought up four contradictions from the Book of

Matthew about the story of Judas and his death. He questioned how the land Judas hung himself upon came to be known as Blood Acre?

"I don't believe these are the kind of things where we say, `hey, let's throw this thing out.'

"Some things we accept on faith," Bjorlie said.

Bjorlie, who often speaks on college campuses was denied a permit to speak at UCO. In

order to avoid controversy the debate format was chosen.

Dr. Doug Miller, a professor at Rose State College, was the mediator for the debate. He also applied for the speaking permit for Bjorlie.

"I was satisfied with the debate and believe John Bjorlie was as well," said Miller.

The debate was sponsored by the UCO Philosophy Department.

"Mosquitoes were so bad at Palo Verde that they followed us like a cloud," said Foster.

"Those who remembered mosquito netting wore it all the time."

Leaving the marsh and forest near the research station, the UCO group then stayed a night at Tamarindo Beach, to relax and swim. The next stop was Monteverde.

"The nicest area was Monteverde, a mountain cloud forest," said Foster.

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, elevation 5,100 feet,

has cool temperatures and perpetual cover of dense, low clouds, and is a popular place for ecological research, said Ovrebo.

Monteverde community is located at the foot of the mountain and is known for dairy farms and cheese manufacturing.

"The rain forests were spectacular, but going from areas of lush vegetation to areas devastated by deforestation was kind of hard to take," said Shackelford.

"It was the absolute saddest thing; the areas in which rain forests had been cut down in

order to provide pasture land had dead stumps, very little grass and a lot of skinny cows," she said.

"It's like seeing a person with anorexia," she said. "It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up."

"Basically, the students came away with a better feeling about just how fragile the rain forests are," said Zanowiak.

Ovrebo said he hopes tore offer the two-credit upper-level undergraduate or graduate level workshop for UCO biology students and professors in May 1994.

Break out the basketballs

By Justin Harper Vista Sports Editor It's that time again at Central Oklahoma. Time to run-and-gun, shoot-and-score and jump-anddunk, among other things. Quite simply, it's time for hoops.

UCO has already tipped the season off and its teams are up and running.

The Bronchos are expecting nothing short of an exceptional year. Lone Star Championships, 20-win seasons and scoring titles have become the norm for coach Jim Seward's troops. Now the Bronchos want more. If everything gels for the Bronchos this year the club could make a run at the national title.

Seward will have virtually an all newcomer team. Only one player (Darrell Gibson) returns from a year ago as 10 new players make up the Broncho roster.

The Bronchos have a lot to live up to as the last three UCO men's teams have: /1-- Recorded 20-win seasons.

Last years squad went 23-6 and the team has notched a 73-18 record over the last three years. >- Won LSC titles and are heavy favorites to claim their fourth straight. >- Led the league in scoring.

Last seasons' 113.6 points pergame was the best in NCAA Division II. If the Bronchos are to match or exceed the success of years past Seward will have to do a good — and quick—job of meshing all the talented newcomers.

"We're looking forward to see-

ing what this team is made of."

Seward said. "We've got some quality players and a chance to be very good."

The Bronchos are already off to a good start with their 4-0 record and their Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Classic title they earned last week in Miami Shores. Ha. The Bronchos next compete in the Jaycee Classic in Emporia, Kan. starting. Friday.

Big things will be expected from UCO's women's team this year as well. The Lady Bronchos are corning off an 18-10 season and return just two starters from that club.

Kim Priddy and Tammy Cummings will lead the Lady Bronchos as they hope to continue the success that saw them: >- Lead the LSC in free throw percentage last season with a mark of .753, which also was an LSC record.

Lead the league in threepoint shots in the last two years.

The Lady Bronchos averaged 5.7 in 1992-93.

Newcomer Shauna Tubbs is a legitimate All-American candidate to fill the shoes of departed AllLSC player Ton'Nea Williams.

Tubbs was a two-time All-American at Trinity Valley (Texas) averaging over 20 points per game in her career.

"I think we've got the potential to be pretty good," said 13-year veteran UCO coach John Keely.

"We have a long way to go, but we've started to come on."

The Lady Bronchos have gone 2-3 so far this season and will host the Central Oklahoma Classic starting Friday at Hamilton Field House.

Eight Bronchos land on All-LSC football team

By Justin Harper Vista Sports Editor

Ooohhh, Yeah!

Central Oklahoma's football team didn't have a shortage of talent this year. That's made apparent by the Bronchos 7-3 record -- the schools best since 1985. It was made more apparent early this week when eight players were tabbed on the Coaches AllLone Star Conference Football Team.

UCO had four players selected on the first team and four players named on the second team. Two other players were cited on the honorable mention list. Overall, six offensive players were recognized, while fOur defenSive players were selected.

Making the first team were tailback Tyrone Jones, center Flo Gonzales, defensive tackle Ira Richards and linebacker Jason Melkisetian.

Second teamers were tailback Glenn Starks, offensive lineman Bill Lancaster, tight end Ryan Orton and defensive back Elton Rhoades. Receiver Chad McCoy and defensive tackle Darren Cooley were honorable mention choices.

Jones grabbed first-team honors for the second-straight year after leading the LSC in rushing. The 5-foot-10, 215-pounder rushed for 1,108 yards on 233 carries.

Gonzales manned the middle for the offensive line and helped the Bronchos lead the LSC in total offense with 364 yards per game. Gonzales made the All-LSC second team in 1992.

Melkisetian, UCO's all-time leading tackler, recorded 133 tackles to lead the team and finish with 420 for his career.

Melkisetian was an All-LSC second-teamer last year.

Richards claimed first team honors for the third time in his career even though he battled through injuries for most the season. Richards made 37 tackles in '93 including seven sacks despite missing two full games.

Number of males raped increases, report says

By Rodney Gordon

Student Writer When rape comes to mind, it is often thought of as the rape of females by males. Although most people do not even consider rape happening the other way around, this crime does happen.

It may sound somewhat unbelievable , but the rape of males by females is an increasingly occurring event according to numerous reports from the FBI. "Rape can be any kind of forced sexual pleasuring of another individual ... of forced sexuality on another person," said Dr. Lewis Irving of the University of Central Oklahoma sociology department.

Rape does not have to happen through physical force to be rape, he said. Believable threats of violence or coercion can also be considered rape.

"Primarily...at an adult level, we have to talk about more genital touching and genital intrusion," Irving said.

In 1982, the magazine "Gentleman's Companion" interviewed four women convicted and sentenced for rape.

Sally, one of the four, said, "I-le kept drunkenly saying, I can't do this, I'm a Mormon,' and, 'I have to save myself for marriage.' We all thought it was hilarious to take this little religious guy home and show him what he was missing."

"At this point in time, most men don't even think they can be raped by a woman and if they are, it so totally shocks them that who are they going to tell? Men don't talk to men about emotional issues, they talk about air head level issues," Irving said, "So for a man to go to another man and openly open up a very deep wound, being raped by a woman, it's not going to happen," Irving said.

A report in 1982 suggests that this is part of the reason men do not report rape when it does happen—they don't realize what has happened to them.

Authorities estimate that only one in 10 rapes of men is ever

reported.

A thought that may come to mind is the size and strength difference between males and females and how it is possible for a female to overpower a male.

"We think of men your size or my size (above normal), we don't think of men that weigh a hundred pounds, we think of women weighing a hundred pounds. We don't think of women weighing 150, 175 pounds and being six feet tall."

People stereotype males and females, Irving said, and everybody has to consider that there

When a man who has been raised to be aggressive and overpowering his entire life has been taken control of by a woman or women, it can devastate him, Irving said.

"They're (men that do report being raped) going to be laughed at by the police, then they are going to be laughed at in court. And they've got to talk about their past sex lives and `why are you letting a woman take control of you, etc., etc.," Irving said.

Some people may say that they have never heard of this crime and some might certainly

rence of love," Irving said.

Adults all know how an erection occurs, Irving said. In situations of fear, blood and adrenaline are rushing through the body which can, in turn, cause an unwanted erection, he said.

"It's very physiologically understandable," Irving said.

This is why men can be forced to perform through physical violence or the threat of it, Irving said.

"Often times, threat of physical violence and oral sex combined will cause an erection," he said.

Irving said he is aware of three

are extremes in both sexes.

Although society has been taught to believe that males need to be sexually excited to get an erection, sexual excitement is only one reason why erection can occur.

"The myth is that the only time a man can get an erection is when he is sexually excited," said Irving, "Well, I think any man will attest that they have had an erection when they were not excited or turned on but the dad gum thing just decided to stick its nose out ... they've got to understand that erection doesn't mean sexual excitation."

An example of this is the number of men describing getting erections while witnessing gory scenes in the Vietnam conflict. These men also reported having sexually related problems after returning home.

"What we've had to do with these men is to help them understand that the erection was an occurrence of fear, not an occur-

of his colleagues that have been forced to perform sexual acts that they would not otherwise do.

"One person told me that as a young boy he was a gas station attendant and four women came up in a convertible and they forced him to go out into the woods and perform oral sex on all of them," Irving said.

He never reported the crime, Irving said and it caused him to have sexual problems for more than 20 years.

According to a 1988 report by Cindy Struckman-Johnson, researchers have found that male victims of sexual assault, like female victims, "experience significant emotional trauma during and following the episode."

What little research has been done suggests that men can be emotionally scared by such crimes just as women are.

say nothing is being done about it. Most who do here about it only laugh and joke about the whole thing, Irving said. Look at television sitcoms and how we are taught to laugh at situations that are in reality, no laughing matter, he said.

Not much publicity has been given to the topic because so few are actually reported and therefore little research has been directed toward male victims, according to the report by S truckman-Johnson.

Sarrel and Masters were among the first to research the crime in their 1982 report in which 11 male victims of female sexual assault were interviewed.

In this report, it was noted that previous sex researchers had only focused on males as the assailants, not as victims.

People are unaware that this occurs which is why so little is

being done about it, Irving said.

In 1980, 270 women were arrested and convicted for the rape of males, according to the F131, but this tends to be misleading.

"Rape laws often times say — `the forced insertion of the penis into the vagina.' What we've got is the forced assertion of the vagina on the penis, the law doesn't count that way," Irving said.

The FBI has reported the number of males and females arrested for forcible rape since 1976. On the flip side, this agency only defines rape as an act which can only be committed against women, according to the report by S truckmanJohnson.

For example, Sally, one of the four women mentioned earlier, said, "The cops thought the whole thing was pretty funny.

They weren't sure they could make a rape charge stick, so they booked us for 'lewd and lascivious behavior.' " "What we are trying to do now is to raise male consciousness, and also women and maybe we can get enough of an outcry going to change the law so rape is uniform, regardless of sex," Irving said.

Irving said that in doing something about this phenomenon, he is telling both men and women in the classroom about rape and that it does happen both ways.

"I don't see a lot of things happening in local, state or national government with respect to men's issues," Irving said. "I see a lot of negative issues in masculinity, but I don't see the corresponding positives.

"It's unreasonable to think women can't rape men."

`The best may not be the first,' says foreign language professor

AMPUS CRIME The University of Central Oklahoma Police logged the following incidents from Nov. 15 to Nov. 28

By Toni Chism Student Writer

Nov. 15 Larceny -Between 12:30 p.m. and 12: 45 p.m. a stereo and speakers, compact disc player, television and several compacts discs were taken from a room in east hall. No forcible entry was made.

University of Central Oklahoma professors come in a variety of dimensions, dispositions and volume. Some have migrated from the Far East or the Old West, while others have strayed from the Twilight Zone or journeyed from the outer limits of Hell.

Their teaching methods vary and are as diversified as the subjects they teach. Some are kind and thoughtful and gladly accept apples. Others check for poison.

Emerging on the scene is a new breed of professor. He's a straight shooter and he gives his students an A the first day of class.

His name is Dr. Mike Xu (pronounced "shoe"), a new assistant professor in UCO's foreign language department.

Xu teaches Chinese Language, Oriental Humanities and Oriental Philosophy. But before rushing out to be the first in the enrollment line, consider one of the Oriental philosophies that he teaches.

"The first bird will get shot first. The flying birds, all of them, the first one will get shot first.

"The fattest of pigs will get killed first to be eaten up. I don't want to be the first, but I like to be the best. But the best may not be the first."

Xu appears to be a calm, confident man. The strong silent type, yet gentle in nature and at peace with himself and his world.

"I dream in English sometimes," said Xu. "I either dream

Larceny -Between 8:35 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. a commuter decal was taken from a vehicle parked in the V-4 parking lot.

A UCO resident' s vehicle was taken from campus sometime between 10:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. The vehicle was stopped for a traffic violation and two youths fled from the scene. One youth was apprehended and arrested. The resident was not aware that the car had been stolen until notified by the UCO police department.

Arrest-Steven Barthold of Edmond was arrested for speeding and driving under suspension.

Larceny-Between 7:30 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. a mountain bike was taken from Murdaugh Hall.

Nov. 19 No crimes reported.

are the same. They have the same likes and dislikes, hopes, and the same kind of expectation for the future and the same kind of nature- peace loving.

He said everything that people do can be accomplished in a different way.

Xu practices his philosophy of doing things differently in his own life and in his classroom.

"I give all students an A the first day they come to the semester. If they don't have an A, they don't mind not having an A. If they do have an A, they're afraid of losing it. If they're afraid of losing it, they work hard and keep it. If they don't keep it, by the end of the semester, they lose it."

Students dreaming of a professor who plays it straight straight As that is- may not want to be the first one to enroll in one of his classes. But as Xu said... "... the best may not be the first."

in English or I dream without a language. It's amazing to me."

His native language is Chinese and English is Xu's second language. Xu also speaks French, Japanese and seven or eight different dialects, he said.

Xu said he finds the verb changes most interesting about the English language. Chinese verbs don't change and the grammar is simpler, but the characters are more complicated than English.

He earned a BA in English at the University of Shanghai in China then came to Oklahoma for graduate study.

Xu completed his Masters in Foreign Language Education at East Central University of Oklahoma.

In 1989, Xu started to teach at UCO as an assistant instructor of Chinese.

"Life is never what you have planned for. Every little step gathered together becomes a bigger development," Xu said.

"Hope for the best and expect the least," is Xu's philosophy for avoiding disappointment in his life.

Xu takes that philosophy to heart, about the heartland.

"I never expect anything.

That's why I don't feel it's bad or I don't feel it's too good either. I just take it for what it is instead of judging it. I work on it."

"At least I please myself because I don't expect anything, and that's the way it should be.

"I learned a hard lesson," he said, concerning Americans.

"I was told that all Americans are aggressive, ambitious imperialists. But people everywhere
