WORLD WRAP Tilton says requests got proper prayers TULSA (AP) — The attorney for embattled evangelist Robert Tilton says prayer requests found at a recycling plant in north Tulsa had been prayed over before they were discarded. Chip Hendrix, assistant manager of Cash for Paper, said that in the three months he has been with the paper recycler, he has seen many handwritten prayer requests among the ministry material sent to his company, which recycles high-grade office paper. But Tilton's attorney, J.C. Joyce of Tulsa, said he believes those requests already had been prayed over.
Indians say America lacking in respect BURLINGAME, Calif. (AP) — Saying theirs is the only race that is "used as mascots," Native American leaders have renewed their call for sports teams to drop Indian names and symbols.

A University of Central Oklahoma freshman was killed and four UCO students injured early Friday when the vehicle in which they were riding went into the center median on State Highway 51 west of Stillwater and rolled over four times. Holly Anderson, 19, of Mustang, was taken to the Stillwater Medical Center with head and upper body injuries sustained when she was thrown from the automobile and it rolled over her. She was pronounced dead at 7:30 a.m. Friday. The students reportedly were returning from the Tumbleweeds club in Stillwater. According to Lee Lamirand of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Anderson, who was driving, apparently lost control of the vehicle and veered into the center median. All of the vehicle's occupants were ejected; no one was wearing a seatbelt. The accident occurred at 2:15 a.m. about one-half mile east of State Highway 86. "Alcohol is suspected but not confirmed at this point," Lamirand said. "To say anything more would be speculation." However, no one has been cited in the incident, Lamirand said. Erin Shaw, 19, of McAlester, was taken by Lifeflight to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa. Shaw was in the Intensive Care Unit in serious condition with a head injury. Shaw is a freshman majoring in psychology at UCO. Joey Dunlap, 21, of Bartlesville, was also taken by Lifeflight to St. Francis in Tulsa and was admitted to the intensive care with a head injury. Dunlap is a freshman major.ing in history education at UCO. Brian Petree, 20, of Seiling, was in stable condition with a head injury at St. Anthony's Hospital in Oklahoma City. Petree is a freshman majoring in business. Kimberly Dempewolf, 21, of Enid, was taken to the Stillwater Medical Center then transferred to Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City. Dempewolf was listed in serious condition with internal trunk injuries. Dempewolf is a junior majoring in family and child home management. Anderson was a broadcasting major at UCO and a member of the Sigma Kappa sorority. V

What a difference a day can make. Central Oklahoma's men's basketball team seemed unbeatable heading into the John Lance Classic Friday in Pittsburg, Kan. It didn't seem to matter that the Bronchos were scheduled to play a stubborn 4-1 Missouri Southern team Friday and unbeaten Pittsburg State Saturday. UCO came in 4-0, averaging 131.5 points a game and were beating opponents by an average of 44 points. The school received word on Thursday that CBS planned to fea-

After Friday's 87-83 loss to Missouri Southern, CBS changed its mind and instead featured several surprising Division I programs. Things got worse for the Bronchos after a 93-72 loss to Pittsburg State Saturday. Suddenly, UCO was 4-2 and its scoring averaged had dipped to 113.5 and scoring margin to 31.
