tudents from the College of Arts, Media and Design were chosen to paint murals on the temporary walls surrounding the Oklahoma Capitol dome construction site. Dr. Bob Palmer, professor of Visual Arts and Design, and seven students are painting four murals on the 4th and 5th floors at the capitol. The project, which is a perspective design, represents the original view before the walls were erected. Begun June 18, it could take up to a month to complete. "We are painting it as if you could see through the rotunda. The construction people wanted something that would take less time, but would be flat. Our design will add more depth," Palmer said.

companies, approved Palmer's plan. Capitol Dome Builders are supplying all the necessary materials and equipment as well as paying the students. John Jamison, project executive for Capitol Dome Builders, said, "We had scheduled some decorative painting to be put on the walls. We knew if we wanted to upgrade the partitions, we were going to have to do something different." Betty Price, executive director of the Oklahoma Arts Council, suggested Palmer do the work after he approached her with ideas for other murals in the entry tunnels. His plan involved taking photographs and scaling the images to the walls. "The reputation that Dr. Palmer has, with the work he has already done in the House Chamber and around the state, made him a good choice," Price said.

nce again, UCO gets the short end of the stick when it comes to state funding. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, in their infinite wisdom, approved UCO a below-average increase in funding for the 2001-02 budget. At this rate, the university may have to hold classes on the lawns because we do not have enough money for building repa irs. - Or we may have to go to an online teaching format where students teach themselves because we cannot afford to
pay for endowed chairs, forcing interested professors to look elsewhere for a better place to work. UCO is not even considered in the Regents' $11 million endowed chair plan. The Regents gave us $350,000 to help offset the under-funding based on the full-time student formula they use to distribute money to all state universities.

Trek Expo 2001 attracts thousands of fans to Tulsa TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Some actors may resent being always associated with a particular role, but James Doohan doesn't seem bothered by it. "'Beam me up, Scotty!' That's what the fans always shout at me," Doohan said as he signed autographs and posed for pictures Saturday at the Trek Expo 2001 in Tulsa.
"I don't mind at all," he said with a smile. "That phrase is what I'll forever be identified with. They also like 'We need more power!'" Thousands of fans in search of science fiction collectibles and a chance to meet their favorite stars like Doohan stood in line for autographs. Among them were Tulsans Sean and Diana Henry. Diana Henry was
hoping to add Doohan's signature to a Star Trek china plate already filled with the signatures of cast members William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and George Takei from previous events. Although the Henrys divorced 14 years ago, they still attend the Trek Expos together. "Sean is just the best person to come to one of these things with

fans sought. Actor Kevin Sorbo, formerly of TV's "Hercules: The Legendary J ourneys" and now starring in "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda," said female fans ask him to take off his shirt."I don't, usually," Sorbo said. Adam West, star of the "Batman" TV series from the 1960s, said people ask him to do the "Bat dance." "I can, too," he said. "I've still got it in me." For the fans who didn't get enough on Saturday, Trek Expo 2001 wrapped up Sunday with actor Avery Brooks, formerly Capt. Benjamin Sisko of "Deep Space 9." ♦
Improv class to perform BY SARAH ROBERSON
U
Staff Writer
CO Theatre Arts Department will be hosting a live half-hour performance by the Beginning Improv Class at 2 p.m. June 29 in the University Center. According to Roberta Sloan, chairman of theater dance and media arts, improvisational acting is done without a script. "We offer the course because it really helps increase the creativity and imagination of the actor," Sloan said.
Saturday Night Live (SNL) is an example of improvisational acting in modern day television, said Sloan. SNL reflects the type of performance being held at the University Center and characterizes sketch comedy. Students being featured at the event are Laura Daub, Cindy Dugas, Gravelly Finley, Paula Lockmann, Trey McCurley, Angie Nelson, Jason Seitz, Takashi Yoshida and Travis Kirkpatrick. The performance is the final project in the class. For more information, call the UCO Department of Theatre Arts at 974-5511. •

because he's like a kid in a candy store," Diana Henry said. "We've stayed friends because we have a lot of things in common, like this." Instead of autographs, Tulsan Brooks Powers found a bit of notoriety. People gathered around the 17-year-old for a look at his homemade Borg (part human, part robot) costume. "I made the face out of an old `Phantom of the Opera' mask," Power said. "I just glued on some old toy and VCR parts and wired in some lights. People keep coming up to me wanting to take pictures, which I think is cool. It's like I'm a celebrity." For those who are celebrities, autographs weren't the only thing

Houston mother accused of drowning children; says she chased oldest son through the house HOUSTON (AP) — The mother who allegedly drowned her five children one by one in a bathtub told police the oldest one tried to escape but she chased him through the house, the Houston Chronicle reported Friday. In the taped interview with police, Andrea Yates described how she methodically killed the children Wednesday, the newspaper said. It quoted an unidentified police investigator as saying she spoke in a "zombie-like fashion." Yates, a former nurse, told police that 2-year-old Luke was the first child to be drowned, followed by Paul, 3, and John, 5. After each child died, Yates recounted on the audiotape, she carried their bodies into a bedroom, put them on a bed and covered them with a sheet. She said 7-year-old Noah
walked into the bathroom and saw her holding the youngest child, 6-month-old Mary. "What's wrong with Mary?" Noah asked his mother, according to the account. Yates told police she chased Noah through the house, dragged him back to the bathroom and drowned him next to Mary, the investigator told the newspaper. Noah's body was found in the bathtub, the others in a bedroom. The 36-year-old mother was charged late Wednesday with one count of capital murder, but that could change after more investigation, Assistant District Attorney Joe Owmby said Friday. No decision has been made about whether to seek the death penalty, he said. "It is possible that we could prosecute just that case or charge other cases or charge different

he Department of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) is starting a new program in northeastern Oklahoma County to help people with disabilities find jobs. The Oklahoma Jobs Creation Program (OJC) encourages companies to hire employees with disabilities by helping them purchase equipment needed for business expansion, said J ody Harlan,
administrator of the Pubic Information Office at the Oklahoma DRS. OJC has a $250,000 budget for businesses wishing to get involved. "It's kind of an alternative to bank financing," said Harlan. "We're looking for about five to seven businesses. It doesn't matter what type, just businesses that want to start up and expand." Companies participating in the program agree to provide a certain number of jobs to

clients with disabilities. In return, DRS will pay for 78 percent of the needed equipment and the company will pay the other 22 percent. Title to the equipment is released to the employer at the successful conclusion of the contract period, which is typically five years, said OJC Coordinator Karen LightfootSmalley. The OJC targets businesses in Arcadia, Choctaw, east Edmond, Harrah, Jones, Luther, Nicoma Park, Spencer, and northeast Oklahoma City for eligibility benefits and services. Metro Technology Center screens potential employers, and DRS selects potential applicants qualified for jobs created by the business expansion. The $250,000 agreement was finalized with Metro Technology Center in March. DRS first launched a Muskogee project in 1999. This pilot project currently employs 63 DRS clients with five local companies. "It's been pretty wildly successful. No employers have dropped out," Harlan said. Four of the five of them have returned seeking additional contracts. DRS, which separated from the Department of Human Services in 1993, has schools and field offices throughout the state. The agency provides a range of services, including vocational rehabilitation, employment, education, independent living services, and determining eligibility for medical assistance.

Nearsihted Starazin BY DAVE THE GREAT, STAFF MYSTIC I love vacations, but nobody seems to understand my choice of locations. One year I went to Iowa after it was submerged in floodwater, another time I went to the Caribbean, after it got leveled by a hurricane. This year I am going to Croatia, and I am dragging my girlfriend along. I am not alone in my insanity, this year my brother is going to Granada, Nicaragua for his vacation. Croatia will be just one part of my trip, which also includes Berlin, Paris, London, Dublin (and maybe North Ireland), and Trieste. I think I have to go to a class or something while I am there too. Anyway, here are your horoscopes, complete and accurate as always. I know I promised to actually buy Stargazing for Complete Idiots at Borders, but I have been too busy teaching my cat to play fetch. It was a lot easier to write advice columns for The Vista, and in retrospect the lawsuits were not too frequent. In the mean time, send your questions on sex, drugs, Pokemon, Playstation 2, booze and stereos to davegotbored@collegeclub.com . I know nothing about any of these things, but do it anyway in case I decide to start writing advice columns again.
ARIES : ( MARCH 21 - APRIL 19 ) Your stars have something vital to tell you, but I used too much space at the top of the column to include any of it.
TAURUS : ( APRIL 20 - MAY 20 ) Spending Saturday mornings in front of the TV in your underwear is normal for a college student. But when you decide to spend those mornings in front of the TV at Henry Hudson's Bar, you may get some funny looks.
Saying "I didn't inhale" only works for democratic presidential candidates. The Edmond police will not buy it.
You have seven days left until Independence Day, which is coincidentally exactly how much time you have left to enjoy the use of your hands.
LEO : ( JULY 23 - AUG 22 ) I apologize for the error in last week's horoscope. It should have read "don't operate a train near NW 63rd and Western Ave." I hope this caused no inconvenience.

"I think Redner's either thinks I'm very brave or very stupid," said Mattox, 68, who works at Redner's Quick Shoppe. "It was a big relief when they called and told me they got my guy." The suspect, Christian A.
McDade, 25, of West Reading, was arrested May 4. State police said he admitted to the robberies and told investigators he needed the money to buy drugs. During the first holdup on Dec. 12, Mattox refused to open the cash register and hand over money until the robber threatened to hurt him, state police said. After that, Mattox did exactly as ordered.
By the fourth holdup, the suspect had learned how to open the cash register and would just reach over and do it himself, troopers said. "After the first three times I wasn't too worried about him doing anything to me," Mattox said. "But it made me a little apprehensive, because after three or four times I knew he was going to keep coming back." •
