ast week UCO officials told members of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) to scrap their campus assistance project—centered on providing a laundry pick-up and delivery service to dorm residents— because the project violated a contract the university has with an on-campus washing machine provider.

So the SIFE students offered their services to Oklahoma Christian University, who welcomed the students with open arms, and several loads of laundry, according to Ryan Ezell, SIFE member.

"It really hurt us when (UCO) said we couldn't do this to help students here," Ezell said about his group's project, which he wanted to implement this semester.

"We were so energetic to serve (UCO) with this, but I guess they don't want us to help the students in the dorms. Good thing Oklahoma Christian was there for us The student project would have provided a service to all on-campus residents in which they'd have paid a modest fee to have their dirty clothes picked up, shuttled to a local laundry, cleaned and returned within 12 hours.

Ezell said his group wanted to offer the service as an inexpensive and time-saving alternative for students who regularly do laundry on-campus. .

nce again it seems that enough money and connections can buy just about anything, even life.

Recently, the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Human Services, Donna Shalala, announced her plans to change regulations for the organ transplantation allotment system. This comes after years of debate and despite the bitter opposition of an estimated 95 percent of professionals in the national transplant community.

The reason Shalala gives for the change from a local preference system to a national system is to compensate for the inequity in waiting times for recipients in different parts of the country—the sickest patients, she reasons, should get first shot at the organs, regardless of where they live.

The reality of the situation is much more complex than to say it can be fixed by a "sickest first" policy.

Proponents of change in the regulations are a small but prestigious and well-connected minority of professionals in the transplant community. They are

March, 5, 1998

affiliated with centers whose business has fallen off in recent years due to the competition of newer centers.

These proponents say the changes will help cut mortality rates. What they don't say is that more organ availability for them is sure to benefit their centers financially.

Officials at the Oklahoma Organ Sharing Network (OOSN) say the changes threaten the very existence of smaller transplant centers, even good ones like the one in Oklahoma City.

The indigent, and those who simply cannot afford to travel and live in another city while awaiting transplantation, will become the ones who pay the price.

In effect, the only thing that will change will be the address of those who die.

Another consideration is that organ donation occurs loCally. Successful donation results from a Jot of hard work at the local level. Much of the difference in waiting times is a reflection of the success or failure of

local efforts. Attempts to equalize waiting times would punish the successful programs, the places where the appropriate steps have been taken to insure a good donation rate, and reward the failures.

Sending organs out of state also reduces the incentive and enthusiasm for donation. Helping someone locally "hits home."Routinely bypassing local patients and transferring organs out of state will also increase tlae cost of transplantation.

Most importantly, as hard as it may sound, the sickest patients are not the best candidates for transplantation. Transplanting only the sickest patients would likely increase, by several percentage points, post-transplant deaths, increasing mortality rates and further exacerbating the organ shortage, say OOSN officials.

With the growing need for transplants, the real problem is the growing disparity between organs donated and organs needed. And the real answer, the only answer, is to convince more people to donate. <

LAUNDRY Continued from front page He said his group's project was a service that was not being provided anywhere on campus and felt disheartened that UCO students were kept from benefiting from it.

"I can't believe Oklahoma Christian University will let us do this, but our own school won't," he said. "It doesn't make sense."

A.K. Rahman, director of Auxiliary Services, said SIFE was not allowed to carry out its laundry project at UCO because the service would violate a contract the university has with the local providers of on-campus washing machines.

"We already have a contract with a provider. I cannot authorize (the SIFE service) unless the power is given to me by the administration," he said.

Ezell said he understood UCO's decision to ban the project was due to the contract, but felt it also may have been prompted by fears that his group's project could take money away from the school if dorm residents started choosing the SIFE service over campus machines.

"But we're not threatening their business," he said. "We are just trying to make things easier for people like me who take 17 hours in school,

work 30 hours a week or more and don't have time to do laundry."

Some dorm residents said they felt the university was doing them a disservice by banning the laundry project.

They said they wanted UCO officials to re-examine their decision and make a choice based on student needs.

"They've been talking for a while about making the campus more friendly for students, but this shows that all they really care is about their money," said Jennifer Kendall, a sophomore and former dorm resident.

Ben Carrington, freshman, said he wished the university would allow the service to be offered as a timesaving option.

"People are too busy with their majors and work and don't have time to do their own laundry," said Carrington. "Something like this would really help."

And Johannes Wolff, freshman, said the SIFE service was needed for reasons of sheer practicality.

"I hate doing laundry because I ruin my clothes when I try," he said.

"I wish someone would do it for me.

It would definitely be worth the cost."

Arson expert to speak at UCO-hosted event

D

r. Wolfgang Bertsch, an expert in forensic science, will be the featured speaker at the Oklahoma section of the American Chemical Society meeting, hosted by UCO chemistry faculty and staff.

A board-certified forensic examiner, Bertsch will speak on "Chemical Analysis of Fire Debris in Suspect Arson Cases: Triumphs and Pitfalls," following a buffet dinner at 7 p.m. March 13 in the Carl Albert Room in the University Center.

Results from actual case studies will be presented during his presentation, which will focus on the role of forensic chemists in analyzing fire debris.

Bertsch is president of Investichem Laboratories, Inc., a laboratory that specializes in fire debris analysis by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. He is also an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Alabama and is a member of the International Association of Arson Investigators, Dr. Cheryl Frech, an associate professor of chemistry, said it is important for students to hear a speaker like Bertsch because he is an expert in his field.

"We have a large number of students who are studying forensic science," said Frech. "It is one of the few degree programs you can get your degree and go work in the field for the Federal Bureau of Investigation or a crime lab."

The dinner cost is $11 for the public and $5 for students. All events are open to the public.

To make dinner reservations, please contact Dr. Cheryl Frech at 341-2980, Ext. 5476.

New UCOSA egislation affects elections, membership

By Lisa Tatum StattiWiter

U

CO's Student Association passed two bills and a resolution at their weekly meeting Monday.

The first bill resolves some problems UCOSA met when it tried to pass a bill regarding how students would be selected to serve on the Residence Hall Council court.

This court rules on problems that occur inside the residence halls.

When the bill was first proposed, Nicholas Harrison, Residence Hall Association (RHA) vice president, didn't feel RHA was properly represented. " RHA didn't have a voice in the selection. The president could just select any person," said Harrison The bill was amended so RHA can propose seven students for each council seat. The president will choose from those.

Harrison said he thought students from the residence halls should have a voice within the RHA. With the

No other selection. The president could just college is represented in this way, said Derrek Belase, select any person. deputy speaker.

In addition to obtaining the title of Mr. UCO, the winner will be granted a $250 scholarship supported by The UCO Foundation. Contestants will also be competing for the People's Choice award and the Most Congenial award.

But the benefits aren't only money and titles, said Trowbridge.

Abortion Celebrating the freedom to kill during Women's History Month

By Steven E. Wedel Columnist

W

ell, it's Women's History Month, or the month when every creature with a testicle to his name should prepare to be blamed for all the evils of the world.

It's true that a lot of women have done great things to promote the advancement of the human race—Florence Nightingale, Amelia Earhart and Harriet Tubman, to name just a few—and I salute those women.

However, I want to discuss an issue that many modern feminists see as a high point in women's history, but that I think is an albatross on the neck of human progress. • .

It was 25 years ago that women were given the right to murder their unborn. Some will say I'm being too harsh, even unrealistic, when I call abortion murder. Many argue the fetus is

not a human, but only a piece of tissue being scraped from the womb.

The poets aside, aren't we all just a mass of tissue?

I want to invite you into a world of make-believe. Since mbst pro-abortion people are liberals, it won't be hard for you to leave reality for another minute...you won't even need your LSD. Just come with me...

In a bed in a hospital in our imaginary world is, oh, say Hillary. It could be anybody— the name doesn't matter.

Hillary is iri a coma. She's a vegetable, completely unable to live without external life-support systems and constant care. She's a real drag to the doctors, nurses and family members who have to care for her.

Nobody's really sure why Hillary's in this coma, but there is good news. The doctors all agree that in nine months she will wake up and be perfectly healthy. Oh, she'll have to learn

to walk, talk, feed herself and use the restroom like a proper lady, but she'll be as good as you or me when she learns that stuff.

But her mother isn't sure she wants the hassle of teaching Hillary how to use a spoon or how to stand, much less how to walk. In fact, she begins to think Hillary will be a major intrusion on her way of life. So, Hillary's mom pays the doctor to pull the plug on Hillary. Poof, she's gone, no more problem. Drop the tissue in the bio-hazard disposal.

Now ask yourself if Hillary's mom committed murder? What about the doctor? They all knew Hillary would be fine in only nine months. In nine months she could have been a functioning human being on her way to becoming an important person— maybe even the first lady of our country. You never know. _ Abortion is the same thing. In nine months that blob of tissue living inside a woman's womb will come into the world as a

normal human being.

A Planned Parenthood survey shows that 75 percent of all abortions performed in 1992— the most recent year for which they have information—were done because the pregnancy would interfere with work, school or other activities.

That same year there were 1,528,930 abortions performed in the United States. Only 16,000 of those were performed because of rape or incest. That figures to just barely over one percent— meaning rape and incest are not the overwhelming reasons for abortion, something many advocates would rather we didn't know.

I think the abortion question is really one c of personal responsibility. We want what we want when we want it, and we'll hide, or abort, the consequences when the time comes.

Abortion isn't a gender issue.

It isn't a special power men kept from women to increase our own

power. It isn't anything to be proud of.

Women have contributed to history, and, granted, most often have not received credit for their efforts. That isn't right, but it can be fixed by emphasizing positive contributions of women.

However, the right to infanticide is an accomplishment that should not be celebrated. <

—By Gene Siskel (RATINGS: The movies listed below are rated according to the following key: 4 stars — excellent; 3 stars — good; 2 stars fair; 1 star — poor.)

OUR FLICK OF THE WEEK is KISSING A FOOL, in which the aerial photography of Chicago — particularly a helicopter shot up Michigan Avenue — is more compelling than any character in this oversized TV sitcom. As I watched its yuppies banter, I missed the laugh track.

David Schwimmer of Friends, plays a Chicago TV sportscaster who's a bit of a playboy and, naturally, afraid of making a commitment to anyone. When he does fall for someone, a cute editor (Mill Avital) who works with his best friend (Jason Lee), Schwimmer's

character is afraid she will cheat on him.

That is transference, of course. But he persists with his paranoia and devises a perverse test that fuels the story.

He tries to make a match between his friend and the editor to see if she will go for him and be unfaithful to Schwimmer. You can predict the banter and most of the story situations.

With As Good As It Gets, Helen Hunt proved how one can properly make thetransition from small to big screen.

You forget about the character you play on TV and try to work with the best movie talent you can. Hunt worked with no less than Jack Nicholson and James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News). David Schwimmer does not stretch or challenge himself at

all with Kissing a Fool. R. 1-1/2 stars.

DARK CITY. A moody, futuristic thriller about an extraterrestrial force that invades a town and begins altering reality in order to study its subjects more clokly. Itls a sober Men in Black, in a way, presenting some truly creepy characters in long, dark coats called The Strangers. Actor Rufus Sewell plays the Everyman who has his emotional underpinning removed when he awakes to find himself accused of a murder he does not remember. This premise has been used in other films, but through art Kiefer Sutherland with The Strangers in direction and silence, we feel his pain. New Line Cinema's sci-fi thriller, Dark R. 3 stars.
