The bar stays open till May
From Staff and AP Reports
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Cheers" fans have just six more months to belly up to the bar. The NBC barroom comedy will air its final episode in May after providing solid ratings for 11 seasons, the show's producers said. "We are grateful to our loyal viewers over the years, but we feel it's better to end the series too early rather than too late," James Burrows and Glen and Les Charles, who created the show, said in a statement.
Hospital trash gets new life NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Two doctors seeking medical supplies for hospitals in developing countries have found that one hospital's trash may be another's treasure. Unused but opened surgical supplies that once were discarded after each operation are being collected and prepared for redistribution under a program developed by Drs. William H. Rosenblatt and David G. Silverman at Yale-New Haven Hospital. In 18 months, the doctors and their fellow volunteers have recovered nearly $200,000 worth of supplies for donation to charities. Most of the material has gone to Leon, Nicaragua, New Haven's sister city. A recent shipment was sent to Yugoslavia.

Edmond police are investigating an incident at an Edmond apartment complex near the University of Central Oklahoma in which two men were allegedly beaten by UCO student- athletes. The two men, Shane Redmon, 19 and Jay P. McGrew, 17, both of Blanchard, were treated and released at Edmond Regional Hospital early Sunday morning. Edmond Police Captain Ron Cavin said an assault and battery report alleged that five people jumped and beat the two victims in the face. UCO SpOrts Information Director Mike Kirk said he had no details, but his department is investigating reports that some of the school's student-athletes may have been involved in the disturbance.
Growth signals changes By Tami Watson
Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma experienced many changes this past semester including the arrival of a new
president, the passage of a bond issue giving the university $7.7 million and a record-breaking enrollment. To ease the growing
pangs, the university creatively came up with 250 additional parking spaces and utilized portable buildings to help eliminate the problems of over-crowded classrooms. But with another recordbreaking enrollment already in the works for the spring semester, the over-crowding problems are only going to get worse.
In an informal meeting Tuesday, University President George Nigh addressed some of these problems before the President's Leadership Council, the President's Club and the Student Government Association where ideas for improvement were discussed. Nigh said the $7.7 million obtained through the passage of the bond issue will go
towards improvements in the Math and Science building, especially new laboratories. Improvements in the college of education will soon follow. The university is tossing around several ideas for improvement and expansion and Nigh is expected to make a formal announcement regarding the Master Plan early next year.

Goodbye, UCO Tears stream down her face as she reads the outcome of the trial involving the professor's death ... A hearty laugh explodes from his gut as he realizes the meaning of the cartoon on the editorial page ... Anger emerges as she reads the editorial endorsing the democratic candidate for president ... Letters stream into the newspaper office
An informed public. An emotional student body. The fall term is ending and so is the final edition of The Vista for the semester. At the start of the term, The Vista staff set out to accomplish these two goals — to inform the public at The University of Central Oklahoma and to create an emotional student body. And the staff has accomplished these two goals. At the first of the semester, The Vista resorted to printing a blank white letters page because there was no response to anything going on, on campus or off. Since then students have written letters to the editor in record numbers. The Vista set out to inform students about the presidential and local elections — and students really went out to vote this year. Because of just one letter to the editor, a flood of letters was received from students and professors alike debating the role of prayer in the nation. An editorial cartoon about gays in the military provoked yet another flood of letters with various students and administrators voicing their opinions about the pros and cons on the topic. At any rate, the news and ideas presente in The Vista have informed the students, faculty and c pus and have provoked people's emotions enough to get them to write in to the paper. As editor of The Vista this semester, I can now leave knowing the First Ammendment is in practice on campus — and know students, faculty and staff exercise their right to freedom of speech and to the press. Goodbye, University of Central Oklahoma. —Marcia Benedict Editor in chief

Choose your weapon, sir It seems that some people are certain of the absolute truth of everything they believe. Due to this, such persons are unable to notice when they have been "nailed to the wall" with facts. Such appears to be the case with Rev. L.G. Parkhurst. This does not mean that Parkhurst is not a decent, patriotic citizen who truly cares for family, community and country, but only that he seems deficient in the areas of objectivity, logic and critical reasoning – as his use of ad hominem a n d irrelevant reason illustrate. My previous missive gave
opinions of two scholars, among many, who consider Francis Schaeffer neither scholar nor philosopher. These professors are not theological modernists but born-again Christians whom Parkhurst has seen fit to ignore, and this is unfortunate. He also missed the point of my reference to magic elves; Because some respected person makes a metaphysical claim means little. Simply put, metaphysical statements cannot be proved true or false, and are thus of small use except as an appeal to emotion. More important, however, is
how we might parlay this series of exchanges into an event of interest to our more inquisitive students. Perhaps Parkhurst or someone chosen by him or by a campus religious organization would enjoy a debate with Dr. Gordon Stein (editor of The American Rationalist) on the existence of God. This could take place on a Friday evening in mid or late April. This is the only time Stein can travel from his home in Rhode Island at no charge to us. Anyone interested please contact me at extension John George 5273. UCO professor

I am surprised and discouraged that The Vista would publish a letter that I feel is irrelevant to most UCO students. I was raised in Southern California, but I don't write to The Vista and gripe about racism, nor do I gripe about the massive budget mismanagement of the state assembly there. Homosexuals don't have tattoos on their foreheads to identify them. Housing and employment applications don't have boxes for sexual behavior either. Also, proof of homosexual behavior must exist before an applicant can be discriminated against. So, the only way employers and landlords can discriminate is by an applicant's behavior or selfproclaimed homosexual behavior. Oh, and if you are thinking of skiing Utah instead, sorry ... there are even more "right-wing charismatic" voters there. Merry Christmas Karne ... and I'll see you in Aspen! John D.

The Muppets take on Dickens By Kathy Jo Karr
Entertainment Editor After the death of Muppet mastermind Jim Henson, the fear was that the world and characters Henson had created would die with him. Rolf, the Swedish Chef, Ernie and of course, Kermit, were now left voiceless. But Henson's son, Brian Henson, has taken over Jim's production and voice duties. Brian will make his film debut
as Kermit the Frog this weekend in The Muppet Christmas Carol." The film is a musical adaptation of the classic Dickens tale and is the fourth in series of Muppet movies. The film also stars Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge. The film stars all of the old Muppet favorites, like The Great Gonzo, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and Animal. "The Muppet Christmas Carol" opens locally this weekend.
The Central Oklahoma Concert Series will present the Colorado Brass Quintet in concert at 8 p.m., Friday in the Mitchell Hall Theatre. UCO full-time students with valid ID will be admitted free of charge.

Staff Writer The University of Central Oklahoma Student Government Association is now taking applications for the spring semester Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature, said Perry Fatheree of the UCO SGA steering committee. The conference, which will be held Feb. 24 through 28 at the State Capital Building, will allow students to participate in mock courts and test cases, said Fatheree. "The students get to participate as lawyers, members
of the House or members of the Senate. We even get to use the real chambers at the capital building," said Fatheree. Fatheree said the legislature is good experience and gives students an inside look into the State political systems. "It's good for anyone who wants to see how things can get messed up in the system," said Fatheree. "You can see how the system really works." Applications can be picked up in the senate office, 4th floor of the University Center and must be returned by Jan. 20. For more information, contact Rebekah Zahn at ext. 3337.

10 Bronchos named to All-LSC football team By Justin Harper
Sports Editor
Central Oklahoma's 1992 football success didn't come to an end when the Bronchos routed Eastern New Mexico 35-13 in their season finale on Nov. 14. After going 6-4 and posting their first winning season in seven years the Bronchos had plenty to be happy about. The good news continued this week as 10 UCO players were named to the 1992 AllLone Star Conference football team. Three players were named to the first-team, junior TB Tyrone Jones, junior DT Ira Richards and senior OG Brian Key. Jones was the leading rusher in the LSC this season, finishing with 1,075 yards on 254 carries and 10 touchdowns. Key was a big reason Jones won the rushing title this year. The 6'2", 275 pound lineman was a three year starter for the Bronchos. Richards was named to the A11-LSC first team for the second year in a row. The 6'2", 265 pounder was an All-conference selection at noseguard a year ago, before being moved to defensive tackle this season. Richards totaled 63 tackles, 10 sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries over the course of the season. Six Bronchos were named to the second team. OT Mike Cizek, C Flo Gonzales, and punter Paul Irland were cited on offense. While LB Jason Melkisetian, CB Mart Leming and FS Maurice Davenport made the list on defense. Defensive tackle Clint Farlin was an Honorable Mention selection.

Parten named to All-LSC first team From staff reports Senior OH Amy Parten (Azle, Texas) was selected to the Coaches' All-Lone Star Conference first team last week, becoming Central Oklahoma's initial first-team All-LSC pick in volleyball. Parten enjoyed a stellar senior season, leading the team to a 24-17 record while setting singleseason school records for kills (624), attacks (1,568) and digs (1,491). She finished ninth in the league in attack percentage (.284) and was third in digs (3.7/game). A four-year starter who played in 151 of 156 matches during her career, Parten finished with 13

school records. She was a secondteam All-LSC pick as a sophomore and junior. Named an honorable mention All-LSC selection for the second straight year was junior MB Kristen Vincent (Arlington, Texas). Vincent led the Lady Bronchos in attack percentage for the second consecutive season, ranking third in the league at .310. She was also
third in blocks (1.4/game) and took over the UCO career lead in solo and assisted blocks this season. Vincent is one of five starters the Lady Bronchos will have back next season. UCO finished 3-5 and fifth in the league this season, losing out in the first round of the Lone Star Conference Tournament.
