U.S. Surgeon General suggests legalizing drugs for safe streets WASHINGTON (AP) — Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, no stranger to controversy, was enmeshed in a new one today after suggesting that legalizing drugs could help make America's streets safer. The White House quickly made it clear Tuesday that President Clinton doesn't see eye to eye on that issue with the health crusader who accompanied him from Little Rock, Ark. "If the surgeon general has to have a study to see if drugs are hazardous to your health, we need a new surgeon general," Sen. Don Nickles, R-Okla., said today. "Americans must be wondering if the surgeon general is hazardous to our health," cracked Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole. U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet, a supporter of legalizing drugs, said on ABC the nation should learn the lessons of Prohibition and the crime that
Knife used in plane hijacking TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Brandishing a surgeon's, knife, a Chinese businessman and a female accomplice hijacked a China Northern Airlines passenger plane to Taiwan today. It was the eighth hijacking from China to Taiwan since April. State radio said Beijing scrambled four fighter jets in an unsuccessful bid to stop the plane from flying to Taiwan. It was the first time China was reported to have taken such action, and could reflect the Beijing government's frustration at the rash of hijackings. The plane seized today had been hijacked to Taiwan less than a month ago. To curb the hijackings, Taiwan plans to change its present policy of allowing hijackers to stay in Taiwan after they serve prison terms, and instead send them back to China.

proud of his role in the war. "If I hadn't gotten to go—well, I would have been really disappointed," said Lucas who comes from a "patriotic family." His father served 26 years in the Air Force. "It's a Marine tradition. We don't just enlist. It means something to have the opportunity to serve your country," said Lucas. Paul Bowman was also with Fox Battery in a different capacity. His job was as a radio operator for a forward observer team. He now suffers from frequent, intense headaches, chest pains and shortness of breath. Like Linville and Lucas, Bowman says he was in perfect health before the Gulf War with no family history of any similar problems. Split from Fox Battery, Bowman's job was providing support for infantry. Much of the time he spent time with "grunts," or infantry men assisting them in picking targets on the front. "I carried the radio on my back," said Bowman. "When the grunts go out, we were attached to vehicles. They'd drive us up to the point and let us out." Bowman remembers their biggest battle coming two days before the ground war started. "We went seven miles into Kuwait to check whether there was enemy in the area," said Bowman. "We would shoot off preparatory fire to soften up targets before the ground c. s. jennings✓ troops went The Vista in. We took sniper and mortar fire." V See SYNDROME, Page 6

The Vista says, `until next time...'

nother semester is coming to a close. More tests have been taken, more projects have been finished, more presentations have been given. Students' stress levels are stretched to the max as they prepare for finals week. Faculty rush to finish grading those last papers and making out the finals. The Vista staff hurries to finish the last paper of the semester. This semester the goal of the staff at The Vista was to cover the entire campus and inform the students, staff and faculty of the University of Central Oklahoma. In the process of doing this we made some people happy, sad and mad. We did our job. The students, staff and faculty should thank The Vista reporters, photographers and editors for covering the campus so well. As the editor in chief, I thank them tremendously. We, UCO journalism students, have put our work in front of the eyes of the campus to be judged. Hopefully, you think we have done a good job. Next semester a new staff will work together to accomplish the difficult task of trying to satisfy everyone. Well, everyone is never satisfied. I wish the upcoming staff the best of luck, and I give the rest of the students at UCO the best wishes for their pursuing education. So long...Goodbye...Sayonara...Adios...

Music department deserves recognition also
T
n response to both Mr. Noel's and Mr. Oswalt's letters concerning the band's lack of support at football games and parades, I would like to inquire about the lack of support from the football team for activities of the music department. Were there anya football players at the jazz band concert a few nights ago, or at "A Night Of Opera" weeks ago? I don't remember seeing any football jerseys at "Noises Off' or "Can Can." Why must everyone rally around and support the football team (or athletics for that matter) when there are many quality programs and events happening each week in the music department. No one seems to care. We are mentioned in the "Around Campus" column of The Vista, but that's about it. Every once in a while there might be a picture or a write up, but we
certainly don't get a whole page! We have a jazz band that was invited to perform at the prestigious North Sea Jazz Festival in the Netherlands last summer, and we have students who place in the National Association of Teachers of Singing competition (a major event) each year. We are also invited to perform at many school functions at the request of President Nigh. One of the reasons the band does not perform at many away games is not because they lack school spirit; it's because they are constantly involved in so many other activities on and off campus, such as paying jobs at clubs, contests, other university functions, recitals and community events. This is a quality music program - the best in the state according to many people! Perhaps the attentions should
be directed as to why the attendance was so poor at the game the band did not play at, or why there was only a smattering of people at the Homecoming parade (which, for your information, a pep band played at!) By the way Mr. Noel and Mr. Oswalt, were you at the Composers' Ensemble concert in Mitchell Hall? There are many extenuating circumstances that you do not know about, and I'm sorry that people do not have anything better to do than sit around and criticize a music program that is going places and doing many fine things for both the school and the community! Also, just for the record, I am not a member of the band.

Regents to vote on program deletions
EXAMINATION SCHEDULE Fall Semester 1993
DAY CLASSES Classwork will end Friday. December 10, 1993 at the close of evening classes. Final Exams will be conducted according to the follow ing schedule
By Roy Howe Staff Writer Four more University of Central Oklahoma programs are scheduled for deletion following approval by the State Regents for Higher Education at its regular meeting tomorrow. This brings the number of programs deleted at UCO to 11 under the regent's Academic Planning Resource Allocation (APRA) guidelines. The latest programs slated for cancellation include the Bachelor of Business Administration in Business Bookkeeping Clerk, Bachelor of Science in Education in Special Education Handicap and the Bachelor of Science in Education in Special Education Speech and Hearing. Also, the Bachelor of Science in Education in Education Liberal Arts and Science is targeted for deletion. "This action supports the APRA initiative and reflects the State Regent's commitment to
efficiency and excellence," the regent's agenda states. Mandated by the State Regents during the fall of 1991, APRA requires the state's 25 higher learning sites to evaluate their programs. Institutions are required to prioritize their programs and shift available resources from the low-priority programs to the high-priority programs. Programs at UCO are evaluated on the basis of their productivity and their program viability. Productivity involves the number of graduates, majors and credit-hours being taken in the program. Viability takes into account whether or not the program is central to the mission of the university. Vice President for Academic Affairs, Clyde Jacob, has said that programs at the university are not cut arbitrarily. "It's a very comprehensive process. We want productive programs that are central to the mission of the university."

Colorado database helps reunite adopted children with families By Bobbi Beldon Student Writer A computer database which can hold a million names has been established in Aspen, Colo. to help re-unite adopted children with their biological families. Named RE-UNITE, the database is used to match children looking for their families with families looking for children who were adopted. Independent databases are kept for adopted children and
families. A cross match of these two data bases is done using a variety of criteria looking for likely matches. The criteria can be different for every person but, usually includes the hospital of the birth, sex of the child, the birthdate and the birth name. "The best service we provide is to obtain the confidential transfer of birth family medical history, which can help the adoptee through their entire lives," said Bill Carpenter, ReUnite. This service is completely

non-intrusive into the lives of children who do not wish contact with their biological families and families who do not wish contact with their biological children. The service works only with those who have demonstrated a desire to re-unite. The charge for the service is $21 a month for a year and $11 a year after that to remain on the data base.

Police experience boredom, terror on job over to campus administration,
By Janet Runge
Staff Writer
"It's total boredom interrupted with moments of stark terror." Sgt. Joe Perry grinned after he summed up his job in one sentence. The fact that those moments of stark terror could end in his death didn't seem to bother him; it comes with the territory. Perry is just one of the law enforcement officers employed with the University of Central Oklahoma's campus police department. The department employees a staff of 32. All of the armed police officers are CLEET certified. CLEET, the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training, is a state run police academy for smaller municipalities. Seventy percent of the campus officers hold degrees and each year they receive an additional 38-50 hours of training. Police officers, student officers, dispatchers, secretaries and Safe Walk personnel blend skills and expertise with one unified goal: to provide a safe environment for the over 17,000 students, staff and faculty of the university. The first organized campus police department was established in 1961, and has matched the university in growth. Bill Bruce, the first police chief of the department remembers the early days. "We had a total of four officers at the time," said Bruce. "And of course we all had to show up for the ball games." The police department owned one police car then instead of the current four, but they were one of the first police departments in the state to own and carry battery operated radio handsets, he said. "The campus grew a lot while I was there," said Bruce. "They built the Broncho field house, the current math building, East and West halls, a new student union...there was construction going on all of the time." There even used to be an old farmhouse on the lot where the field house stands now, he said. "Our emphasis as campus police was to be of service to the students and people who worked there. We had a lot of students who locked their key in their car, that type of thing," he said. It was only recently that parking tickets and fines were turned 41'e

but Bruce remembers writing tickets. "Parking has always been a problem. "We didn't have a lot of trouble, we had a good relationship with the students; although once we had to stop a fraternity from initiating fellow students in the fountain late at night. They were waking up the President and his family who lived in the president's house on campus," he said. The current police chief is Chief Bobby Roberts. For almost ten years Chief Roberts has kept the long arm of the campus law flexing. His job is primarily administrative: scheduling, budget control, weekly staff meetings and liaison between the police department and other campus officials, but he reads the crime reports daily, keeping current with all the activity on campus. Roberts said that the department's primary concern is the safety of the students and faculty. "The students should be able to pursue their educational goals and not have to worry about safety," he said. "We can't have an element of fear on campus." Roberts credits President Nigh for a recent boost to the police department. "President Nigh has met all of our equipment needs, ensured that the campus has received excellent lighting and parking...I just can't say enough good things about him," said Roberts. Statistics show that a lot of good things are also coming out of the police department. According to . crime statistics compiled by the UCO police department for the past three years, campus crimes were under the projected forecast for 1993. There were no sex crimes reported for 1993, only four narcotic offenses and the number of traffic citations almost doubled, 2e/de--‘te--ey fi

a fact that Roberts attributes to less time writing parking tickets and more time for the officers to be on patrol. Currently there are five student officers that assist the campus police with their patrols. Brian Wilson, a student officer majoring in political science and criminal justice, said that he likes the dangerous element of the profession but respects the fact that requirements to be a police officer are so rigid, calling for physical, psychological, mental and common sense abili-

ties. Another example of student utilization within the police department is the Safe Walk program. Sunday through Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. students from Safe Walk services are available to escort students and faculty from building to building or to their cars. Safe Walk personnel carry radio handsets so they can cornmunicate with campus police. They also wear neon yellow jackets to increase their visibility on campus. Syed Zaki, who works for Safe Walk, encourages students to utilize the service. exceotee-ca-CeeLot

"Even if your car is close to the building don't feel strange about calling for escort, you never know," he said. SafeWalk is one way to cross the campus, but another mode of transportation is the bicycle. The campus police department has a mountain bike patrol consisting of two full-time officers, one day-shift, and one nightshift. "They provide one-on-one contact with the public," said Lt. Hayes Forbes. "Many times they can get across campus faster than a car unit." Forbes said that the Edmond police department recently studied the way the bike patrol was organized and are considering adding one to their own department. "I guess we're setting a trend with it," he said. The police department also uses modern equipment in their dispatch officer. Jeff Elston and Floyd Pryor are second shift dispatchers. Trained by OLET, the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Telecommunications system, they use the PSS 2000, and are able to access state or federal records from all over the country. They are a vital link between the public and the police officers in an emergency, dispatching officers to the scene or linking 911 calls to fire and ambulance services. While the police department handles a lot of ordinary calls such as students locking keys in cars, providing jumps for dead batteries, and flat tires, there are times when they face life-anddeath situations. Sgt Joe Perry, shift supervisor on nights, relates an incident that happened on campus several years ago. "I received a call for officer's assist at a fraternity sponsored dance at the University Center. "When I got there students were pouring out of the hitildinn

I checked out the building and found that everyone was moving in a group to the entrances so I followed them back down. "Once in the parking lot there was a lot of milling around. I noticed a student reaching into the trunk of a car and could sec there was a shotgun in the trunk. "To this day I don't remember pulling my gun, but there it was in my hand while my other hand was coming around to slam the trunk lid down, he said. Sometimes events are not as terrifying but just as dramatic. Sgt. Perry said that one night he and Lt. Forbes received a call that a student had passed out in the math building. "When we got there she was lying half-way on a couch. "We moved her to the floor and at that moment she quit breathing," said Perry. They began CPR until the ambulance arrived and medics took over, he said. "The gal was only 20-yearsold and had experienced a heart attack," said Perry "They had to shock her 11 times to stabilize her enough for transport." "We like things to be calm," he said. "But don't ever use the q-u-i-e-t word, everytime someone does we wind up working two or three hours over." "Never hesitate to call if you need help," said Perry. "That's what we're here for." One testimony to the type of work police officers do is summed up in the policeman' prayer posted on the bulletin board in the station lobby; it reads in part "...Dear God, protect these brave men and women, grant them your almighty protection. Unite them safely with their families after their duty had ended. Amen."

Former professor donates papers to UCO's Collections/Archives By Joyce Kirtley Staff Writer Former University of Central Oklahoma professor, Reba Neighbors Collins, recently donated her personal papers to the university's Special Collections/Archives research library. The donations include the final draft of her doctoral dissertation, titled "Will Ro\gers, Writer and Journalist," and galley proofs of Collins' book, "Will Rogers: Courtship and Correspondence 1900-1915." "It is an honor for the university and a compliment to the Special Collections/Archives to be the curators of Dr. Reba Collins' papers," said Mary Bond, UCO archivist. "Collins is a writer and is very well known for her expertise on Will Rogers. Although the main topic of her papers is Will Rogers, she has donated mancuscripts, publications, personal data and memorabelia and photographs related to UCO," said Bond. "Also significant in her papers is the notes from the
audio tapes taken during her interviews with Will Rogers, Jr. in 1990," said Bond. After graduating from UCO in 1958, Collins taught journalism at UCO and served as Director of University Relations for 17 years. Collins then became director of the Will Rogers Memorial Museum in 1975 and retired in 1991. She also received the Distinguished Former Student Award which is put out by the UCO Alumni Association in 1979. "This is just delightful material," said Bond. "The papers contain personal margin notes added to the manuscripts by Dr. Collins which increase the value for potential researchers." "If we don't know where we've been, then we don't know where we're going. The museum helps us know where we're going," said Collins. The papers are located in the Special Collections/Archives division in Evans Hall Room 103. For further information, contact the office of the archivist at 341-2980, Ext. 3322.

UCO to hold financial aid seminar Jan. 10-14 The financial aid office will hold a seminar Jan. 10-14 to instruct students on how to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 1994-1995 school year. Students will receive an application when they attend one of the seminars held in the
University Center where the financial aid staff will be using an instructional format to explain each section of the application, he said. "Those who show up to the seminar will receive the application, so we can walk through the process step by step,"
Rolison said. Instructors at the seminar will also discuss disbursement dates for excess funds and the deadline for applying for the 1994-95 school year, he said. The time and room of the seminar have not been determined, he said.
A Christmas Message for Students and Faculty
\ PEOPLE STILL SEEK HIM AS DID THE WISE MEN OF OLD! ,
1
Christmas is a time to share love with family and friends, a time to enjoy good things. But it's also a time to reflect and ask questions about one 's values, goals, and purpose for existing. Jesus Christ, whose coming is 'the reason for the season,' has spoken to these and other important questions mankind has raised over the ages. We have found that, more than just providing an answer to life's meaning and purpose, He IS the answer! We sincerely believe that the most wonderful gift any person could receive this Christmas—or any time—is new life in Christ. It's available to all who seek and accept Him. We encourage you to consider His offer. Merry Christmas!

Ringing of the bells remain tradition on campus By Janet Runge Staff Writer
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, the bells toll. They mark the changing of every hour; their vibrant timbre echoing across the campus of The University of Central Oklahoma in nostalgic echoes of one-room school houses and horse drawn buggies. The tradition of the ringing of the bells has changed over the last century. Instead of a cast iron bell waiting to ring with the pull of a coarse burn-your-hand rope, Old North Tower now nestles a complex computer system in its antiquated bosom. Max Redmand, electrical supervisor at UCO' s physical plant is like a modern day Quasimodo when it comes to the campus bells. He talks with enthusiasm about the Carillon system that he helped to install on campus. The Carillon system, a computerized clock system bought from the Simplex Time Co. in July of 1990, replaced the old mechanical Carillon system, said Redmand.
"The new Carillon clock was one of the first systems of its kind installed in the United States," he said. "The face of the clock is almost six feet in diameter. The clock had to be historically correct so if you look at the number four it is done with IIII instead of IV, the old way of writing Roman numerals," The Carillon system, is manufactured by Tony Hauns, Master Clockmakers, a company in Mass., and contracted out to Simplex Time Co. The system, called the "Quasimodo Bells," plays approximately 55 different songs. The songs stored on a computer chip range from jazz and rock, to various holiday tunes, said Redmond. The "Alma Mater, "The UCO Fight Song, and the state song "Oklahoma," are programmed to play at 8 a.m., noon, and 5 p.m. every day, he said.
Although the three metal bells from the old mechanical Carillon system are still in the tower, they are now surrounded by four p.a. speakers that face in each direction, he said. "We turn up the volume for graduation ceremonies while graduates go on the Old North Walk procession," he said. "It usually plays for 45 minutes although we can program the system to play for a minute or for however long you want to hear it." The Old North Tower clock is tied into the campus clock system which receives a signal via satellite from Ft. Colins, Co. The master control center on campus then transmits the correct time over phone lines to other clocks. More than 70 percent of the clocks on campus are synchronized to the master control system, said Redmand. "The clock automatically corrects itself once every 24 hours at 6 p.m. and minute correction

every 58 minutes," he said. Tracing a circular pattern in the air with his finger, Redmond said that when the time changes in the spring you can watch the clock tower at 6 o'clock and see the hour hand move forward. "The system located in the Old North Tower is a high secu-
rity area," said Redmond. "I go up there to change the songs and program it for special events like holidays and graduations." People don't realize that we're sitting in a city within a city. It's important to keep things running on time, he said.
Hospital donates equipment to help UCO students By Joy McNutt Staff Writer
Imagine slicing a single cell into several sections and looking at the structures inside. University of Central Oklahoma students will soon be able to do just that, thanks to a donation by Presbyterian Hospital in Oklahoma City. The hospital donated a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and a microtome. "The microtome allows us to take organ tissue and slice it into real, real thin slices a few nanometers thick," said Dr. David L. Elmendorf, assistant professor biology. The TEM can magnify 100,000X with a resolution of 1-4 nanometers, Elmendorf
said, whereas a light microscope can only magnify up to 1,000X with a resolution of 180200 nanometers. Resolution is the ability to distinguish close objects as separate, rather than appearing blurred together as one object, Elmendorf said. Dr. Fred Grosz, chairman and professor of chemistry, heard about the microscope which the hospital was trying to sell. Then he and Elmendorf looked it over. "One of the things about looking for used equipment is you want to make sure it's in good shape," Elmendorf said. They found that the microscope had not been used much, he said. Then they talked to Richard Burpee, UCO vice president of
OKLA. CITY'S LARGEST UNIQUE CLOTHING STORE
development and community relations, who in turn, talked to the hospital. A few days later Elmendorf said he heard UCO would be getting the equipment. "We greatly appreciate this donation," said Elmendorf. "I already have students saying `When are we going to set it up?' and 'Can we start tomorrow?'" Starting up will not be immediate. The TEM needs to be in a basement for a stable floor, Elmendorf said, and because Howell Hall is scheduled for remodeling and the addition of a new building beside it, it may be best to wait until after that is completed, Elmendorf said. Setting up will cost about
$4,000 and moving it would cost too, so Elmendorf said they want to set it up in a permanent place from the beginning. Some of the costs involve having the lens alignment checked, attaching water for cooling and making sure enough power is on-line so it doesn't cause voltage drops which could effect computers, Elmendorf said. The TEM makes it possible to examine internal structures of cells. Elmendorf said he has written for a grant from the National Science Foundation for UCO to acquire an SEM (structure electron microscope), which allows the observer to examine surfaces.

"When we get set up and get the grant from NSF for the SEM, we'll definitely be offering a course in microscopy," he said. In research the TEM is used all the time, Elmendorf said. For example, it makes it possible to study the effects of contaminants on tissue. The SEM is used in industry to ascertain the effects of the environment on surfaces, he said. "Any student who gets experience or skill in using a '1EM or SEM will benefit their education, and research, and possibly make them more marketable in finding a job," he said.

Police give UCO's 'monster' to parking services By William J. Harvey Student Writer
"It was a monster," said UCO Police Chief Bob Roberts. "It took 70 percent of our time on first and second shifts." Officer Rick Morales knows all about UCO's monster. He and 14 other officers took turns feeding it. Over 100 times a day. Every day. With almost 16,000 students, UCO is the fourth largest university in Oklahoma. More than 15,000 of those students live off campus and drive their cars to school every day. They help create the monster. The monster is parking. There are almost 13,000 vehicles registered on a campus that has less than 6500 parking spaces. This requires some ingenuity on the part of the commuter, and keeping this ingenuity from becoming excessive was one of the UCO police department's biggest tasks. "It was nothing for me to go out and write 75 parking tickets in one day," said Morales. "We didn't even have to look very hard. Violations were every-
where." Morales said he often spent seven hours of his eight-hour shift doing nothing but writing tickets. In 1992, he and his fellow officers wrote 19,970 of them. "That's a lot of time spent in the parking lots," he said. Chief Roberts agrees. He would much rather have his 15 officers out about the campus, either investigating cases or, preferably, preventing crimes from happening in the first place. Instead, much of their time was taken up with monster feeding. It had to stop. UCO President George Nigh wasn't happy with the situation, either. Both he and Chief Roberts had similar ideas about the proper place and functioning of a university police department, and none of them included feeding monsters. To solve the problem, President Nigh created the Department of Parking Services. Activated in this semester, it was assigned all parking-related responsibilities. It issues the new parking permits, it patrols the parking lots, it issues the parking tickets and
it collects the parking fines. It is one of two major changes affecting the police department. UCO Police Department Sgt. Bob Caldwell heads the new department, located in the Student Services section in University Center. He has two full-time employees and one student clerk. He also has ten

students who work four hours per day monitoring parking in their assigned lots. "The students were hired by UCO's personnel department," said Caldwell. "The application process is similar to that of any other job, although we do perform a background check for
these positions." Caldwell explains that all of the money collected for parking fees and parking fines will stay within the university. "Parking fees are used to pay off the bonds which financed new parking lot construction," he said, "and parking fines are used for maintenance of existing lots. The fines also pay some of the operating expenses of the department." Caldwell said that there is more construction planned, and some gravel lots will be paved and some paved lots will be resurfaced and repainted. Meanwhile, the UCO police department has been relieved from the chore of feeding monsters, and officers like Morales now have or time for investigations and follow-ups. Roberts said President Nigh also wanted to improve the partnership between the department and the City of Edmond police. A memorandum of agreement was drawn up between the university and the City of Edmond which, in effect, made the UCO department an extension of the Edmond police. "This has several advantages
for all concerned," says Roberts. "For one thing, traffic tickets cost less." Tickets processed by the county had the same cost structure as tickets written by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Roberts said the fines levied by the City of Edmond are generally less expensive. Another advantage is that a court appearance by an officer now requires only about onequarter as much time away from his primary duties. "The Oklahoma County Court is 16 miles from the campus," Roberts explains, "and an officer typically spent at least half a day away from his job, traveling back and forth and waiting for his case to be called. The City of Edmond Municipal Court is just a couple blocks down the street." "Stolen parking permits are a new problem," says Roberts. "If you're caught, there'll definitely be a fine, and we'll impound the vehicle to recover the permit." Roberts expects the impound fee and fine to be around $100. "It's a lot cheaper to buy a permit," he says with a grin.

UCO hoopsters closeout fall action By Justin Harper
Vista Sports Editor Both Central Oklahoma basketball clubs will close out fall semester action this weekend as the Bronchos host Paul Quinn — the team, not the man — at Hamilton Field House on Friday and the women take on Pittsburg State in the Southwest Baptist Classic in Bolivar, Mo. The Lady Bronchos also play Saturday against host Southwest Baptist. The Bronchos are 5-1 after splitting a pair of games at the Jaycee Classic last weekend. UCO got by Tabor 97-79 in Friday's first round before dropping a 113-99 game to host Emporia State on Saturday. Junie Sanders, the Bronchos first-year guard from Brooklyn, N.Y., scored 24 points in the Tabor contest and was backed by center Johnny Tyson's 17 points, 13 rebounds and six rejections. Tyson's six blocks kept up his pace of 6.3 per game. The 6-foot-
10 junior has swatted 38 shots in six games. Against Emporia State Sanders again was hot, scoring 20 points and pulling down 10 boards. The Bronchos loss to Emporia State snapped their 5-0 start which equaled the school record formost wins to start a season. The 195859 and 1963-64 UCO clubs also tot out to 5-0 starts. UCO is off to a good start to defend its NCAA Division II scoring title. The Bronchos are averaging 110.0 points per outing, tops in the Lone Star Conference. UCO notched 97 and 99 over the weekend but had a school-record tying 167-point outburst in the season opener versus Arkansas Baptist to pad the average. The Bronchos game with Paul Quinn will tip off at 8 p.m. inside Hamilton Field House. The Lady Bronchos were out to a 3-4 start prior to Tuesday's match up at Emporia State. The Lady Bronchos also split a couple of
games last weekend at their own Central Oklahoma Classic. UCO got by Cameron 66-65 in Friday's opening round then fell 79-58 to Missouri Southern on Saturday. In the Cameron contest the forward tandem of Penni Kime and Tammy Cummings led the Lady Bronchos as each tossed in 19 points. Kime's 19 points and 11 rebounds were career highs. Kime suffered a probable broken finger early in the MSSC contest and could miss this weekends action. Kime' s status will be evaluated this week. UCO center Shaunna Tubbs notched 14 points and 17 rebounds in the loss to MSSC. The junior stand out is leading the Lady Bronchos in scoring average (20.6), rebounding (12.4) and field goal percentage (.575). Tubbs has registered four games this season where she hauled down 15-plus boards. The Lady Bronchos play at 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

On my way out Its a fundamental rule of journalism that if you produce something people agree with nothing. will be heard from the readers. But, misspell a name, leave someone out or, God forbid, misquote someone and it's "off with his head." Well, I'm neither vain nor dumb enough to think the sports page I've put out for the last six semesters was perfect, far from it. Still, it's amazing the lack of feedback The Vista has received about the sports page during that span. Aside from a dedicated group, commuter schools' sports programs rate on a must-see scale somewhere between Jimmy Swaggares Up All Night Telethon and "It's a Brady Christmas." Nonetheless, UCO does have an audience that cares about its sports, deservedly so. If there are things you would like to see change, speak up. Otherwise you won't be heard. — Justin Harper

UCO personnel ordained as minister By Jojo Takyi-Micah
Student Writer
Notice The date for New Plains Review's book signing has been changed 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Dec. 17 in the Liberal Arts Building, Room 211.
University of Central Oklahoma's director of personnel, Blanche E. Washington, was ordained a Minister of the Gospel at a ceremony in Oklahoma City, last Thursday. Bernadette Foster and Michael Johnson were also ordained while Victor Driver, husband of Stephanie Driver, academic advisor at the enrollment center, and Yvonne Bolding were licensed to preach the Gospel. "The process is necessary to legally conduct the business that God has called us to per-
form. It is not the title but the responsibility that goes with it that matters," said Washington. Conducting the service, Rev. A.J.Thompson of the Victory Baptist Church, Las Vegas, Nev. said their responsibility is to be a "shepherd to the flock". "Preaching is not for everybody to do so if you don't have to preach don't preach," he said. "There is no life in me unless I'm doing what God has asked me to do," Washington said. "In my heart there is an aching for the church. I've got a vision of what is to come. If we as a church do not toughen up, we aren't going to make it." Washington is co-founder and director of Omega End-Time, an evangelism and teaching min-
Blanche Washington
istry, based in Oklahoma City. She is the author of "Life in the Blood' and co-authored "Hope
for a Lost Generation." "I am going to continue doing what I have always done ... to be a servant to the people," Washington said.
