Faculty queried on president

AIDS vaccine seen by end of decade

By Marcia Benedict

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush expressed confidence Tuesday in the federal doctors and scientists leading the research effort against AIDS. A top federal researcher told Bush they hope to find a vaccine against AIDS by the end of the decade. Dr. Louis W. Sullivan, the secretary of health and human services, told Bush that, "Except for cancer, in the federal budget we have more dollars allocated for AIDS than for any other disease."

Actor shot during local production OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An actor fired off a handgun in a local production of "Dead Wrong," but someone had replaced the blanks with real bullets and the director ended up in the hospital. The script called for the actor to shoot at a mirror during Sunday's matinee performance. However, the bullet crasheds through the theater set wall and hit director Kenneth Benton in the armpit, said police Officer Jim Hale. Benton was not seriously hurt and was in good condition at Baptist Medical Center, the hospital said. Benton and the actor both said they believed the .38-caliber gun contained only blanks, Hale said.

Tilton ministry faces more investigations FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ole Anthony, a Dallas minister who teamed up with ABC's "PrimeTime Live" program to investigate evangelist Robert Tilton, says the television ministry is nothing more than a high-tech marketing scheme. On Nov. 21, a "PrimeTime Live" report questioned financial practices at Tilton's $85 million ministry. The U.S. Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI, the Texas attorney general's office and the Dallas County district attorney's office have all announced they are investigating Tilton's ministry.

KCSC manager moves up By Penny Owen Staff Writer

After nearly six years of service to KCSC radio station, General Manager Tom Anderson is moving up to a new role as Manager of the Civic Center in Oklahoma City. Besides offering a substantial jump in salary, the Civic Center position will include promoting the Philharmonic, Ballet Oklahoma and other non-profit agencies as well as coordinating events ranging from symphonies to rock concerts to fashion shows. "It's a job where you're not necessarily stuck in an office all day," Anderson said. "I'll be able to get out and meet a variety of people." But the drawback of accepting the new position is having to leave KCSC, said Anderson. "The station really fills a void in this area," said Anderson. "I have gotten a lot of satisfaction from working here." Anderson began as a development assistant (a fund-raising position) with KCSC in

1985. He was then promoted to Development Director before assuming the General Manager position about two years ago. The University of Central Oklahoma has mixed feelings over Anderson's decision to leave KCSC. "I'm very happy for Tom. I think it's a big promotion for him," said UCO Assistant Vice President for Administration Phil Arnold. "But it's going to leave a big void for us." Arnold said that KCSC is being left in good shape after successfully raising money this fall and nearly completing a massive data base of KCSC supporters. The ideal successor will have both radio and marketing experience. Candidates from both the general public and within KCSC will be considered, Arnold said. Three other KCSC employees have been at the radio station longer than Anderson: Operations Manager has worked for KCSC for nearly eight years; Chief Engineer Larry Iverson has served a total of nine years; and Announcer Clyde Martin got his start with KCSC in 1969. V

Should he be a public relations whiz or a fund-raising expert? Should he have an earned Doctorate Degree or only a Bachelor's? Should he be 40 years old, 50 years old or over 50 years old? Should he be more concerned with faculty concerns and issues or student concerns and issues? Should he be a Chief Executive Officer of a large corporation or should he be experienced in public school administration? Approximately 385 full-time faculty members at the University of Central Oklahoma are answering those survey questions to help a search committee narrow qualifications for candidates applying for the job of university president, said Dr. Tom Guild, associate professor of general business at UCO and co-creator of the faculty survey. "The surveys will narrow down a profile for the new president and help us to determine what the faculty would like to see in him," Guild said. Along with Dr. Richard Peters, professor of history and geography, and Bart Binning, decision sciences instructor and faculty senate president, Guild created and distributed the questionnaire to the faculty members last week. "Basically, the search committee is trying to get a feel from the faculty as to what they would like the characteristics of the new president to be," Guild said. "For a number of years, Central has had a president with public school administration experience, for example. hi another area, a vast majority of the faculty would like the president to give promotions on the basis of teaching, some on the basis of research," he said. "We're trying to see what the faculty would like to see as requirements." Since the national advertisement for a new UCO president has already been published in various newspapers, initial qualifications will not be altered, Guild said. "We advertised for a wide variety of specialties. Now, we're seeing what specialties are most important," Guild said. The search committee advertised in publications such as, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News and The Daily Oklahoman.

The deadline for applicants is Dec. 27, and the search committee will meet Jan. 7 to rank the candidates. Guild said a public listing of applicants for the presidency will not be available until the search committee, as a whole, decides to release those names. "Theoretically, no one should know the identity of any of the candidates. The committee agreed to keep those names absolutely confidential," Guild said. V

Parting Shots 1991 in Review Here are the good, bad, ugly highlights of the past year: • The worst news of the year— The Persian Gulf War. • The best news of the year— The release of American hostages, especially Terry Anderson. • The worst continuous problem— The parking situation on campus. • The year's most misunderstood man/boyPaul Reubens a/k/a PeeWee Herman. • The year's most misunderstood woman— Tula. • The media's most pressing need— New photographs of Gov. David Walters. • The faculty's biggest failure— Defeat of Resolution FS92-5 which would have modified the UCO mission statement to view students as customers. • The UCO administration's best improvement— It's a tie between the hassle-free enrollment procedure and afternoon class offerings. • The year's biggest lie— George Bush: "We are not in a recession." • The year's worst (unsolicited) advice— George Bush: "Everybody go to the mall ... spend $26." • The lamest political ploy— The coup attempt in the Soviet Union. • The worst food on campus— New England boiled dinner in the Central Cafeteria. • The year's best tour to play Oklahoma City— Sting's "Soul Cages" tour. • Most controversial figure on campus— Gov. George Nigh. • The year's best album"Pornografitti" by Extreme. • The year's best dancing— Prince's video "Cream". • Laziest group on campus— Student Government Association. • The biggest hypocrite in the media— It's a three-way tie—Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Kennedy and David Duke.

Pageant head sets facts straight

would like to respond to the letter recently printed from Ton'Nea Cox. There were several points in her letter that were inaccurate. The first and most important is that Ms. Cox never submitted an application to the pageant committee and, therefore, could not have been denied admittance as a contestant. Secondly, the rules of the Miss Black UCO pageant that have been called into question are rules that are based upon the qualifications for the state and national pageants for which we act as a preliminary. Miss Cox's interest in becoming a contestant in the pageant had been brought to the committee's

attention and had she made application by the deadline, she would have been allowed to compete as long as she had qualified academically. No, she wasn't told this when she picked up the application, but had she taken the time to come to the office of the Multicultural Center and discussed this with the pageant director, she would have been told at that time we as a committee had addressed the issue in a meeting the day she picked up the application. As far as calling into question the issue of the difficulties of the present reigning court, the entire point of adopting the qualifications of the National Pageant

Committee this year is to make the screening process more thorough and to present the most dedicated, leadership-oriented, and successful black women this campus has to offer. If this description is an accurate one of Ms. Cox, then I invite her to enter the Miss Black Oklahoma pageant and offer my personal support as well as that of the Miss Black UCO committee. But I would ask that we all consider our own apathy before we hold others responsible for difficulties that we may experience.

Health center saves man's eye fter reading the Dec. 5 copy of The Vista, arti cle titled "Student chastises health center," I thought it would only be fair to write this letter in praise of the health center. About two weeks ago I was changing a flourescent light bulb

at the ROTC center when the bulb exploded in my face getting glass in my right eye. I was taken to the health center where Susan LaForge started treating me immediately. She washed out my eyes and put drops in them to ease the irritation . From there I went to the hos-

pital where doctors there praised the health center for their fast and professional treatment It could have very well saved my eye. I am very thankful to the staff of the health center and to Susan.

number of foreign students are studying with Americans at UCO. The internationals are studying their majors and English, also. Orientals are a little bit timid and keep to themselves, so UCO should hold

some parties or meetings so that we can know each other more. Most Americans want to know Orientals, also, therefore UCO is the best place to study English and for Americans to get to know Orientals.

Gov. Nigh no slouch, student says

icking George Nigh as the next UCO president is a smart move. Nigh is no slouch. He has intimate knowledge of this campus and its staff. Mr. Nigh has been accused of maybe having too many connections with too many public officials. For a university that screams

for more class rooms and more funding, who better to get it then Nigh? Mr. Nigh isn't the most qualified, nor is he the smartest, but he has the political clout to get the job done.

Foreign students need help

t is true that the shortage of colleges and universi ties in foreign countries drives international students to come to the United States. The other reason is the quality of education in the United States is better than in other countries. We international students think that we have made the right decision to study at the University of Central Oklahoma. Most of the international students chose UCO because it is not as expensive as

other universities, and it is still a very good university. Studying in the United States is very expensive, especially for international students who come from developing countries. Many of the students have to work to support themselves. In many developing countries, the average income per year is usually below $1,000 per person. In the Vista, Dr. Ronald Paddack said that most of the foreign students receive no financial aid.

International students are totally self-supporting. I think it will be very nice if UCO provides some financial programs will attract more international students to come to this university. I believe it will not only help international students, but it will increase the quality of our beloved university as well.

Students support Calhoun

remember when Leonie Calhoun was first crowned Miss Black CSU 1991. That had to be one of the most positive and joyful days of her life. I also remember the Vista coverage of the pageant along with Leonie Calhoun and her then present title never making the front page of the Vista. I also remember this summer when the Vista had an article about our Miss Black UCO pa-

geant and in the article it had listed Sonya Carter as being crowned Miss Black CSU when actually Miss Carter is the second runnerup in the pageant. Leonie Calhoun, who was crowned, was never mentioned in the article. Now, when being in the wrong place at the wrong time has brought her negative publicity to her and her title, not only does she make the front page of the Vista,

but at least 80 percent of that. This is a message to our Miss Black UCO, Leonie Calhoun. You have a substantial number of people who believe you and believe in you. We are standing behind you and supporting you. You are a beauftiful and thoughtful person. Keep believing in yourself, because once again you will prevail.

Cafeteria pork paid for, but not eaten eing residents in the university dormitory, we e have to take the meal plan in the cafeteria. Our daily meal depends on the food in the cafeteria. If the menu for a particular day is not suitable for our appetite, we will find nothing to eat. Especially as a foreign student without transportation, we have to cook instant meals to fill up our stomachs that do not get satisfaction in the cafeteria. I found that the reason most of the foreign students stay off campus is due to the food served in the cafeteria. I hope that in the future the cafeteria will serve more varieties of food. This will not only make the residents happy but also attract the foreign students to continue staying in the dormitory.

There is another problem with the food in the cafeteria. Some of the people, due to religious reasons, are not allowed to eat either beef or pork. Since I am a Buddhist, my religion does not allow me to eat pork. Sometimes I found that I have no meat to eat because the cafeteria only serves pork. This problem is also faced by the Islamic students, for they are not allowed to eat pork either. It is really frustrating, especially when you have paid the price to eat, and end up eating nothing. This is my hope and also all the dormitory residents hope that in the future the cafeteria will improve their food quality and also quantity.

International Christmases differ in traditional lore, celebrations UCO student, but the stores are full.

Presidents' Club holds party for area children By Misty Pace Student Writer

Santa and his helpers visited the University Center Ballroom Friday and passed out presents to almost a hundred small guests of the Presidents' Club annual Christmas party. Principals of Edmond elementary schools provided a list of children in their school who might not have much of a Christmas without this party, said Susan Thompson, director of student activities. The Presidents' Club sponsored 93 area children with over 40 campus organizations participating in the party. Thompson said the Presidents' Club has sponsored the party for more than 20 years. The Presidents' Club is comprised of leaders of various student organizations on campus, she said. The children participated in a variety of Christmas crafts, including decorating sugar cookies, making candy cane reindeer, and cutting contruction papr tree ornaments.

After the children finished their craft activities, they gathered around the Christmas tree. "The tree was huge, it must have been about 15 feet tall," said Marie Bigger, a representative for the Student Government Association. The children and their sponsors then sang Christmas carols and awaited Santa's arrival. Santa called each child by name and he and his helpers handed out presents. Each child received at least one article of clothing, a stocking filled with candy and one gift. Each child also had their picture made on Santa's lap. Bigger said the child the SGA sponsored kept catching her breath at every little thing. "She was breathless with excitement," she said. Marie Knupke, a representative of the public relations club, said the child her group sponsored was excited all day. She said the school reported that the children had been asking throughout the morning if their names had been called yet to be picked up by their sponsors.

Several place third in OU track meet

Matmen No. 2 in NCAA II poll

By Justin Harper Staff Writer

The NCAA has recognized the dominance of Central Oklahoma's wrestling program and has accordingly ranked the Bronchos No. 2 in the preseason NCAA II poll. UCO has placed in the top two nationally for eight consecutive years, and returns four AllAmericans and 13 lettermen from last year's 9-4 team that finished second to Nebraska-Omaha. The powerhouse Bronchos, winners of eight NAIA titles in the 1980s, play host Friday to No. 8 South Dakota State (3-0) and unranked Wisconsin-Parkside (1-1), who finished 18th in NCAA II and 15th in NAIA as dual members. The duals will be held in an ABC format on two mats, and match time is set for 1 p.m. in the Broncho Field House. V UCO placed 14th last week in the I as Vegas meet, finishing tops in NCAA II and ahead of 21 NCAA I schools.

From staff reports

The Central Oklahoma men's and women's track teams kicked off the indoor season Friday at the University of Oklahoma All-Corners Meet. The Bronchos did not have anyone first-place winners but had several individuals and relay teams place in the top three. Markeith Johnson placed third in the 55-meter high hurdles, with a time of 8.33, and Gary Hammer's 4:24 in the mile was good for a third place medal, while Kevin Nichols took third in the shot put with a heave of 47'7". The men's mile and two-mile relay teams also placed third in their respective events. The mile relay squad was made up of Greg Warlick, Mike Cheney, Mike Houston and Bill Shephard, while the two-mile relay was run by Warlick, Danny Walker, James McMahan and Jeremy Kie. The Lady Bronchos two-mile relay team who finished third with a time of 10:39, was comprised of Ashley Mathis, Anita Stufflebeam, Mylissa Hall and Sommer Hill. Rebecca Elmer took third in the shot with a put of 37'9 112". The teams will be back in action after the holiday break, traveling on Jan. 18 to Lawrence, Kan., to compete in the Kansas Invitational.

Broncho notes... 3 spikers earn All-LSC Three Central Oklahoma volleyball players have received postseason honors in the Lone Star Conference. Junior outside hitter Amy Parten was named to the All-LSC second team, while teammates Kristin Vincent and Heather Devine both received honorable mention. Parten missed four matches with an ankle injury but finished ninth in the LSC in attack percentage (.258) with 372 kills and 104 errors in 1,040 attacks. She added 300 digs and 40 blocks. Vincent, a sophomore middle blocker, was second in the league in attack percentage (.306) and blocks (1.8 a game). Devine, a senior outside hitter, was .204 in attack percentage with 365 kills and 146 errors in 1,071 attacks and led the league with 3.3 digs a game.

Accordingly, Central Oklahoma is forming a women's indoor soccer league team for competition beginning in January, according to soccer club vice president Monica Cooper. Five ladies competed in the successful coed intramural league this fall, and several students believe a competitive women's team can be organized, Cooper said.

Son-of-Sam law ruled improper WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court Tuesday struck down a New York state law that compensates crime victims by seizing profits criminals make from describing their misdeeds. By an 8-0 vote, the court said New York's so-called "Son of Sam" law violates constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, writing for the court, said the state failed to prove a compelling interest for enacting a law that "establishes a financial disincentive to create or publish works with a particular content." While the state has a compelling interest in compensating the victims of crime, O'Connor said, the Son of Sam law improperly singles out proceeds from books, movies and other published works describing criminal exploits. O'Connor said today's ruling does not necessarily strike down similar laws enacted by the federal government and other states to protect crime victims.

OU police pursue book bag thieves NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Campus police are placing siren equipped dummy book bags around the University of Oklahoma to try to dissuade thieves from stealing the real thing. Sirens in the backpacks go off about five seconds after someone picks them up, said Joe Lester, campus public safety director. Back-pack thefts are costing OU students about $10,000 a year, given the books, cash, computers and other expensive goods carried in the bags, Lester said. "Thefts of book bags represent the number one crime problem on campus," Lester said. "We recognize larceny as a real problem at this university, and we had to do something about it." While an innocent person conceivably could pick up one of the 10 to 20 specially rigged book bags by mistake, "They'll need a pretty logical explanation for a case of mistaken identity," Lester said.

Legislator alleges ticket slow down OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — One state legislator is promising that the full Legislature will investigate the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for not writing enough tickets. Sen. Ted Fisher, D-Sapulpa, urged the state Ethics Commission not to adopt a rule to bring charges against state employees who fail to do their jobs. Ticket revenues, which are used to run the state court system, have dropped by as much as half in some counties since this summer. Troopers reportedly are upset that a $13 fine increase was earmarked to pay attorneys for indigent people charged with crimes. Lt. Jerry Cason, public information officer for the Department of Public Safety, in August confirmed reports of a 30 percent drop in tickets issued in June as compared with the same month a year ago. Cason said there could be many reasons for the decline, including a new emphasis at the Oklahoma Highway Patrol on preventive measures such as seatbelt and vehicle inspection enforcement.

Former Beatle, Harrison sues tabloid LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Beatle George Harrison sued a supermarket tabloid that he claims depicted him as a Nazi sympathizer. The libel lawsuit filed Monday in Superior Court seeks $200 million from The Globe. An article in The Globe said Harrison paraded around his villa in England in a storm trooper's uniform and had a huge Nazi flag in his home, said his attorney, Bertram Fields. "George deplores Nazism and Hitler and everything he stood for," Fields said. Officials of the tabloid's parent company, Canada-based Globe Communications Corp., referred questions to the company's Chicago attorney, Paul Levy, who didn't return a telephone call Monday.
