New restrictions affect international students

by Kristen Armstrong ka@thevistaonline.com The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has levied new restrictions on international students in the form of a new registration program, the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS).

These restrictions were outlined at the National Association of Foreign Students Advisors, Nov. 4 - 8 in Oklahoma City, said Glenn Freeman, UCO immigration advisor.

"These new regulations are so important because they affect so many students," he said.

According to the International Office website,

this registration program requires all citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan or Syria who entered the United States prior to Sept. 11 on nonimmigrant visas, including student visas, to register with INS before Dec. 16. The penalties for missing this deadline are arrest and deportation.

Male citizens of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen between the ages 16 and 45 entering the United States with non-immigrant visas must register with INS upon entry.

Those citizens of the same countries who entered the United States prior to Sept. 11 will be allowed to register with NSEERS the next time they re-enter the United States, according to the website.

"They will be fingerprinted,

photographed and have their U.S. address verified. They will be asked why they are in the U.S. and what they are doing while they are here," Freeman said.

INS has stipulated that any country can be added to the NSEERS registration program, according to the website.

"They can also add people on a case by case basis. If a person has a shady background or any sort of military or weapons training, they will be asked to register under NSEERS as well," Freeman said.

"The purpose of this program is national security," he said.

Freeman said UCO students are positive about regis-

UCOSA passes dead week plan

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline. corn Students will have fewer exams and more study time the week before finals if administration adopts a resolution passed Nov. 11 by the UCOSA Senate.

Several senators objected to the "Dead Week Resolution," which likely would not go into effect this semester even if UCOSA President J.P. Jordan and administration approve it, said House Speaker Jake Winkler, the resolution's author.

Kate Thrift, Senate president pro tempore, said, "This resolution is more of an opinion than a law."

If the resolution is adopted, no tests of any kind would be administered during the week before finals, Winkler said.

Section two of the resolution would prohibit new assignments being made at that time.

With the professor's approval, no rescheduled or make-up exams would be administered during the week before finals. A professor could still introduce new material at that time as long as it was not included in a prefinals week exam.

"What I'm aiming to do with this bill is to get everybody a lot of study time," Winkler said.

Senator Jared Childers said the professors were more than able to set their own policies.

"This is a bad resolution," Childers said.

"By doing this we're really lirniting the professors' choices."

Senator Dallas Strimple said that administration might view the resolution as an attempt by students to have more free time for partying. Other times during the school year could be more productive, like Homecoming Week, he said.

"Yes, there will be students who will party," Winkler said.

"But this is to help students with their studying."

Creating more study time would be more conducive to a student's learning experience, said Sen. Tyler Tully. Presently, students' options for activities during the week before finals already are limited, he said. UCO senior Abdalla Khalid said that for him it is a time issue.

Some students have full-time jobs. He said he thought it would

The UCO Debate Squad is ranked third in the nation as of Oct. 28 above over 100 universities including Dartmouth, Cornell University and Pepperdine according to the Cross Examination Debate Association Ranking Report.

Michael Stroud, political science freshman and UCO debater, said this is the highest the squad has ever been ranked.

He said at the end of the year the squad will participate in the national debates of the Cross Examination Debate Association and the National Debate Tournament.

Each debater is given a different evidence assign-

"I don't know how we make time for it honestly," Stroud said. "Most of us have been doing this for a while so we've learned how to make time for it."

Stroud has been a debater since his freshman year of high school and said he can't imagine a life without debate.

Jason Stone, director of debate believes the squad's success is a result of the high quality of debaters.

"We've got an outstanding group of freshman," Stone said.

Stone said UCO has some of the top debaters in the state because it is one of the only schools that does policy debate. Policy debate is the type practiced by students who want to be high school debate

Special session will overlook education issues

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen relations director, said the ms@thevistaonline.com State legislators will convene for a special session Nov. 18 to deal with Department of Corrections furloughs caused by the budget crisis, ignoring funding issues concerning higher education officials.

Education officials have been pressuring Gov. Frank Keating to include higher education and common education in the special session agenda. But legislators have said there is not enough money available to fix the problem.

Harve Allen, State Regents for Higher Education media

regents will continue to urge Keating and the Legislature to take action on education issues.

"The state regents along with the other state agencies would have liked to have been included in this, especially considering the budget situation and the announcment yesterday that more cuts will he forthcoming," Allen said "The regents do understand that public safety comes first."

Under state law, Legislators could withdraw only half of the $72 million in the state's Rainy Day Fund.

"What's the answer?" said Dan Mahoney, Keating's press

secretary.

"Everyone that's complaining doesn't have an answer."

DOC spokesman John Thompson said to free up money beginning Dec. 1 the agency will furlough 4,850 employees for 23 days. A wide variety of personnel including prison guards will be furloughed, he said Mahoney said legislators would likely delay the furloughs until after the new Legislature convenes Feb. 3.

House Media Division Director Mike Ray said the Legislature has unofficially been in an ongoing special session since May 2001. Keeping it

ongoing makes it easier to convene subsequent sessions.

Keating last called for a special session in March.

Keating crafted the agenda for the session, limited to the issue of Department of Corrections furloughs. Once the agenda is set, the Legislature cannot veer from it, said Thomas Larson, press secretary for Governor-elect Brad Henry.

Henry mentioned education often during the gubernatorial campaign. Larson said that after Henry takes office, higher education would be addressed.

"Education is his first priority," Larson said.

Revenue generated by a lot-

tery, supported by Henry during the gubernatorial campaign, could not solve the short-term education-related problems, Larson said. It would take some time to make a lottery a reality, culminating with a vote of the people, he said.

Under Henry's plan, a portion of the lottery money would fund college scholarships.

Some special sessions deal strictly with emergencies like the situation affecting the DOC. The lottery is not an emergency, Larson said.

"In Oklahoma, until the Legislature passes bills, all you can do is talk about issues," Larson said.

Oklahoma politicians speak of the importance of educating our population, making a more rounded, qualified and better prepared state. They spend millions of dollars advertising on television stations, radio and newspapers in the elections leading up to potential seats in their respected positions with corporate money given to them for future promises.

They speak to the public, kissing our babies that soon will be a part of state's education system equation, telling us that our education will be top notch and that we have nothing to worry if elected.

They have elaborate plans for boosting teachers pay, making sure that high school students are prepared, giving families cuts in tuition or all together eliminating tuition; but in most cases their children are attending private institutions.

And when they get elected the promises disappear, the agendas change, the corporate businesses start reminding them of where the money came from that their campaigns ran on for so long. They start getting paid more than the mentors that shaped their drive to make and change, that taught them, that guided them through the most important years of their lives.

There are now economic problems in the state as well as the nation, problems that have been a long time coming and will affect students, faculty and administration for years to come.

Budgets are being cut across the board and education is being hit hard. Tuition hikes are expected, supply closets will run low and class size will

increase as faculty will decrease.

On Wednesday, Governor Frank Keating decided to return the elected officials to a special session to discuss the budget problems; a move that could have helped higher education's budget woes, instead he chose to discuss the cuts in the Department of Corrections.

That one decision shows how high on the list education really is to our state government.

In the 2002 election education was the top platform hopeful politicians targeted to sway voters. What they should have said in their attack commercials is, "In Oklahoma education is second to other issues, we care more about criminals that have done harm to society rather than your children's education."

How long winded can our officials be, how long can they talk about the problems without having any solutions, how long will the citizens of the state listen?

Our sockty has lost the drive to speak their mind, to address problems that are directly affecting them. We have elected people to represent us and then left them to decide for us.

We need to hold our representatives accountable to the promises they have made to us. We need to quit being apathetic about social issues and problems that face our state and nation.

There is a saying that history repeats itself, but maybe instead what needs to be repeated is regression in the voices' of the masses. Protests, sit-ins and picketing, until issues are addressed in a prompt and effective matter.

International students are used to abiding by different standards than U.S. students, however, the government regulations may be going too far. It seems as though some measures are to provide comfort to other Americans citizens while going overboard with some of our best students.

Here's a news flash, America is full of their own home grown terrorists. By the time all this is over, the government will have a complete list of all the International students, along with their fingerprints, tracking and other personal information. Meanwhile, dis-

gruntle students harbored in high schools across the country plot to make a statement and destroy their senior class.

The government should spend more time with programs that help students work out anger issues, than keeping inventory of our visitors.

International students not only have a language barrier, but they devote more time to studying than many American students. They have to work hard not just to make good grades, but because everyone, including Big Brother is watching them.

UCAB showcases Hanging of the Green despite budget shortfalls

by Timber Massey tm@thevistaonline.com Laura Free, University Center Activities' Board (UCAB) Hanging of the Green and Central Follies vice-president, said applications for Hanging of the Green are due Nov. 15 in the Campus Life Office, Room 424 in the Nigh University Center (NUC).

Hanging of the Green will be at 7 p.m. on Nov. 22 in the Grand Ballroom of the NUC. Free said, "During this event each organization is given the chance to recognize their sponsor. They make a wreath for them and give a speech on how they have made a difference in their lives."

UCAB, which was started in 1968, had been on a five-month hiatus after being phased out during summer budget cuts.

Gina Gianfilippo, UCAB treasurer, said starting over also means starting out without a budget.

UCO junior Jenni Breshers said since students help pay for professors' salaries, they should have a say in the issue. Students already have enough stress, she said. She urged administration to adopt the resolution.

Freshman Yasser Errafay said he didn't mind taking tests the week before finals, as long as the material covered was to be included on a comprehensive exam.

Winkler said in the resolution there were no set penalties for violations. Thrift said ultimately President Roger Webb would either approve or disapprove the resolution.

UCO international students have mixed reactions to these new regulations.

"They can have all the information they want," said Ramesh Subedi, accounting freshman from Nepal.

Surij Shrstha, computer science freshman from Nepal, said, "If you are the right kind of person, you don't have to worry about giving them the information."

Imad Mrani, computer science sophomore from Morocco, said, "The U.S. has the right to worry about everyone and everything since Sept. 11. If I have to register, then it's OK." Jack Hoo, computer technician for the College of Math and Science, agreed that the United States has a right to enforce restrictions on foreigners, but said students should not be forced to have such high limitations.

"We have come to the U.S. to study. They should make it easier for those wishing to study to come here," he said.

Amir Siddique, computer science junior from Pakistan, also agreed the United States should check into the backgrounds of foreigners attempting to enter, but said the checks should be more widespread.

"It's a kind of discrimination.

fees to fund Hanging of the Green. It will be our first event since the reformation of UCAB." Rachel Clarkson, UCAB president, said she was stunned to find out that the group was no longer in existence and did not understand why UCAB was not told that the organization was no longer together.

"UCAB has been at UCO for over 30 years. The events that we do are important to the university and we feel like if we were not here to do them then they may never get done. I found out what had happened when I called our sponsor to set up a meeting time to discuss events for the fall semester. She told me that she was no longer employed at UCO because of auxiliary cuts."

Clarkson, who has been active with UCAB for the last four years, said she was given the run around from several people before finally turning to President Roger Webb for help.

"President Webb was very positive and he encouraged us to start over from the beginning.

We have rewritten our constitution and submitted it to Dr. Kathryn Gage in Student Services. As soon as she signs the constitution UCAB will be an official student organization."

The next UCAB meeting will be at 4 p.m. on Nov. 21 in Room 318 of the NUC. UCAB will implement Central Follies and The Mr. UCO Pageant in the spring semester.

Paul Kilsch, UCAB Homecoming and Laff Olympics vice-president, said, "The Mr. UCO Pageant is a scholarship pageant. Rules and regulations regarding student activities fees have said that the money cannot be used for scholarship events. So we are going to have to find others means to fund the pageant this year."

Kilsch said this will not be an easy task due to the UCAB's lack of a budget.

"We have come a long way since the budget cuts over the summer, but we still have along way to go," Clarkson said.

by Fawn Porter fp@thevistaonline.com Flu shots are available from 9 - 11 a.m. and from 1 - 4 p.m. daily at the Student Health Center, said LaBetta Wallenmeyer, director of the center.

"If you get a flu shot now, it should last you through flu season," she said.

The Center for Disease Control web site said that even though flu season reaches its height during January and February, a shot is suggested in October or November for prevention.

David Hendricks, experimental psychology graduate student, said he has gotten a flu shot each year for the last three years, and he has yet to get the flu.

"When I haven't got the shot is when I got the flu," he said.

Brant Davison, business sophomore, is getting his first flu shot this year.

"They are free for athletes, and I am getting one to prevent the flu," he said.

Aside from the flu shot, other methods of prevention include: washing hands often, keeping in good health by eating right, exercising, getting enough rest

Confirmed cases of West Nile approaching 1000 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Confirmed cases of West Nile virus in Oklahoma's horse population are approaching 1,000, with 126 deaths, but only about half the horses in the state have been vaccinated against the disease, veterinary experts say.

The vaccine, with each dose costing about $15 to $25, is 93 percent to 95 percent effective.

Public health officials, fearing that 2003 could be the same or even worse for the West Nile virus, are urging horse owners to give every animal a two-dose regimen of vaccine and give a third "booster" shot if necessary.

Some horse owners apparently are reluctant to give their animals the vaccine.

"I've gotten a barrage of negative excuses from customers who think the vaccine's too new and too experimental, that it won't work, or its too expensive. I humorously kept track of all of those excuses, but they

aren't humorous anymore," said Dr. Gerald Radde, a veterinarian in Marietta.

Cases of equine West Nile have been reported in all 77 Oklahoma counties, with horse deaths in 52 counties. Horses have been infected by mosquitoes that carry the virus.

Radde said that since late September, he has vaccinated more than 1,000 horses. Two horses that died at his practice weren't vaccinated.

"People thought that since the mosquito season was over, they didn't need to get protection for their horses," he said.

"But they've got to know that freezing weather doesn't necessarily kill mosquitoes, and mosquitoes even can pass the virus to their offspring."

The disease can progress rapidly in an infected animal.

When Logan County horsefarm manager Jeff Garretson saw his prized mare "Shotgun Romance" staggering and react-

ing skittishly, he knew the symptoms meant trouble.

The dark-brown, 14-yearold mare had always been a sure-footed, robust thoroughbred "the cream of the crop" at Trout Stables north of Edmond, according to Garretson.

She could fetch up to $200,000, and among her offspring is "Maysville Slew," a fleet 6-year-old whose 2002 race earnings could reach $1 million.

Recognizing the warning signs of the West Nile virus, Garretson rushed the horse to an Oklahoma City large-animal clinic, where veterinarians gave the animal potent doses of antiinflammatory medicine and intravenous fluids.

Within 72 hours, "Shotgun Romance" was down and thrashing helplessly, her head thumping against a wall in the clinic's stall.

She had to be euthanized.

"It's hard to tell your boss that his best broodmare is fixing to die," Garretson said, recalling his conversation with owner C.R. Trout.

In southern Oklahoma, West Nile killed a prominent Love County stud worth an estimated $3 million, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry reported.

That horse, 18-year-old "Grays Starlight," had sired 641 foals whose race earnings total more than $7 million, said Susie Reed, manager of the Polo Ranch in Marietta.

Public health officials said the West Nile problem in Oklahoma was exacerbated by a wet summer and wet fall, leading to higher-than-normal populations of "culex" mosquitoes that spread the disease.

International Army kills 15 rebels in northern Uganda KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) Ugandan soldiers killed 15 rebels in a two-hour battle northern Uganda in which two soldiers were also killed, an army spokesman said Monday.

The battle began Saturday when the military attacked the Lord's Resistance Army in Lira Palwo village, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) north of the capital Kampala, spokesman Major Shaban Bantariza told reporters.

The information could not be independently confirmed and it was not possible to contact the rebels.

The LRA fighters are leftovers of a northern rebellion that began after President Yoweri Museveni, a southerner, seized power in 1986.

Led by Joseph Kony, who claims to have spiritual powers, the rebels have abducted thousands of children in northern Uganda to use as fighters or sex slaves.

Fighting in the conflict has increased in recent months after Ugandan troops moved into neighboring southern Sudan and destroyed the rebels' bases, causing the insurgents to flee back to Uganda.

In March, Sudan allowed Uganda to attack LRA positions in southern Sudan. The agreement was renewed on a monthly basis until Sept. 14. The two governments are negotiating a new agreement, Uganda's Defense Minister Amama Mbabazi told reporters Monday.

Mayor survives gun attack in northeast Guatemala GUATEMALA CITY (AP) Gunmen riddled the car of a mayor and local leader in Guatemala's largest leftist political party with bullets Friday, but the mayor escaped unharmed, police said.

Police and party officials had said earlier Friday that Miguel Maldonado was killed in the attack. They later said he was not hurt and was able to flee to safety on foot.

The body of an unidentified shooting victim was found about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from where the mayor's car was attacked. Police originally identified the body as Maldonando's, but later said that they had been unable to identify it.

Maldonado is mayor of San Idelfonso Ixtahuacan, 210 miles (340 kilometers) east of Guatemala City, the capital. He is also head of the Guatemalan Association of Mayors and Indigenous Authorities and a local director of the National Revolutionary Union of Guatemala party.

He was traveling between the towns of Ixtahuacan and Huehuetenango when a car pulled up beside his vehicle early Friday. Two men inside the second car opened fire, but Maldonado escaped, said Pedro Garcia, a spokesman for Huehuetenango authorities.

"The mayor is here, save and sound. We don't know who provided the information that he had been killed," Garcia said.

"He was attacked by unknown assailants, but he is fine now."

Police believe the shooting victim may have been a relative or office associate of Maldonado who was riding with him in his car, but they had yet to confirm his identity late Friday.

A National Revolutionary Union spokesman had joined police officials earlier in telling reporters that Maldonado had been killed. Late Friday, National Revolutionary Union Sen. Pedro Ceto admired that party officials had made a mistake.

"The first reports we had said they had found his

from Debate, page 1 (Maldonado's) body," Ceto said, adding that Interior Ministry officials later confirmed the body they found belonged to someone else.

Police have no suspects and have not determined a motive for the attack.

Government to seek new powers to prosecute people accused of murdering Australians abroad CANBERRA, Australia (AP) Australia will seek new counterterrorism powers from Parliament to prosecute people accused of murdering Australians overseas, the justice minister said Monday.

The minister, Chris Ellison, said the law would be retroactive to Oct. 1 so it can be used, if needed, to prosecute any suspects in the Oct. 12 bombings on the Indonesian island of Bali that killed nearly 200 people, including about 90 Australians.

The proposed amendment to the Criminal Code would include a provision for "overseas murder" of Australians, he said.

None existed before.

Last week, Indonesian police made their first breakthrough in the investigation of the Bali bombings, arresting a suspect, who admitted owning the minivan used in the attack.

About 110 Australian federal police are working with Indonesian police on the investigation.

Two police injured as hundreds of anti-nuclear activists' protests waste shipment DANNENBERG, Germany (AP) Anti-nuclear activists staged a parade through this north German town near a nuclear

waste dump Monday, and two police officers were injured in a skirmish with demonstrators.

Police said most of the roughly 1,000 protesters demonstrated peacefully against a shipment of 12 containers of atomic waste that are expected to arrive in midweek after traveling by rail and road from a reprocessing plant' at La Hague in France the biggest shipment yet to the dump at Gorleben.

Yet about 100 radicals clashed with police, who responded with truncheons.

Two officers were injured, police said.

The site at Gorleben, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) southeast of Hamburg, which has long been a traditional focus of Germany's anti-nuclear lobby.

Over the weekend, farmers and anti-nuclear groups symbolically set up at least 12 "villages," with camp fires and bales of hay, near the route and several thousand people demonstrated at Gorleben Authorities have banned protests within 50 meters (about 150 feet) on either side of the final stretch of the convoy's route.

This week's shipment is the

first since last November, when demonstrators repeatedly defied some 17,500 police to stage sitdown protests along the route through Germany.

Those protests were smaller than demonstrations that marked the previous transport in March 2001, the first in three years. The previous German government had suspended shipments after radioactive leakage was discovered in some containers.

Last year, the government and power companies signed an agreement to phase out nuclear power within about 20 years.

"We're the only opportunity for students in Oklahoma who want to be high school debate coaches," he said.

Stone said the reason UCO trains students to be debate coaches stems from UCO's roots as a teacher's college.

Citizens Bank goes the extra mile for their customers. — Bob Palmer Professor of Art, Chair Department of Art at UCO

"When I moved here I used to bank at a bank that lacked in customer service. So I walked over to Citizens Bank and I've been with them ever since." Says Jim Watson, Professor of Design at VCO. "They treat you right like you're important to them. I appreciate their customer service."

"Citizens Bank has great people. Their people greet you personally. I think that many banks have lost sight of customer service." Watson says.k"Having the branch at UCO is so convenient, I'm in the building every day."

"I met my wife at Citizens Bank 29 years ago and we have banked at Citizens Bank for a long time." Says Bob Palmer, Professor of Art at UCO. "It was love at first transaction." Bob laughs.

"We have banked with other banks, but Citizens would always work with me. They go the extra mile for their customers. Their convenient and friendly service is what I value most. I appreciate the way the employees treat you like friends." Says Palmer.

Volunteer opportunities available through Coffee Creek Riding Center

by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com Numerous volunteering opportunities are available in Edmond and through the UCO Volunteer Center.

Upcoming events with the Volunteer Center include planting trees with Keep Edmond Beautiful and decorating Christmas trees at the Myriad Gardens in Oklahoma City, said Brenda Hammons, Americorp VISTA liaison with the UCO Volunteer Center.

A recent activity with a local nursing home made a strong impact on many of those whom participated, Hammons said.

"It really opened their eyes to a lot of things," Hammons said.

Volunteering is one of life's most rewarding experiences whether it's through the Volunteer Center or a non-UCO organization, Hammons said.

Edmond's Coffee Creek Riding Center would be a natural fit for anyone that likes children and horses, said Joy Milligan, cen-

ter director and instructor.

Usually, several UCO students volunteer there, she said. None did this fall.

At Coffee Creek Riding Center volunteers work with children and adults who through interacting with horses receive mental, emotional, physical and social therapy, Milligan said.

Some of the children have been undergoing therapy since shortly after they were born, she said.

"So by the time they're five, they've had therapy for five years and they get really tired of it in a clinical setting," Milligan said.

"The horse is a motivator that makes it fun. There's that relationship with the horse and then that carries over into the reason for making them want to go ahead and participate in the therapy."

Milligan said the center serves about 140 students each year.

Some are age two and a half. A few are teenagers. And at any given time there may be four to five adults. Last week a single class from Mustang contained 10 children, age two and a half to five, Milligan said.

"The students get a lot of personal attention," Milligan said.

"It's friendships made outside of their family unit. It builds confidence, self image, self esteem."

"The volunteers are what makes the program possible."

- Joy Milligan Coffee Creek Riding Center director

Volunteers are asked to cornmit one to two hours of time per week, Milligan said. During the fall and spring semesters opportunities exist weekdays from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. In summer, class times are weekdays 8 a.m. to noon.

For each student three volunteers are needed, one to lead the horse and two to walk on either side of the horse, Milligan said.

The horse leaders usually have experience working with the students and have a horse background.

Volunteers help with safety, encouragement for the children and they assist with game playing, Milligan said. New volunteers usually begin as a sidewalker, she said.

"The volunteers are what makes the program possible," Milligan said.

"Volunteering in any community service setting is going to be extremely rewarding."

Milligan said anyone interested in volunteering at Coffee Creek Riding Center should first check out the website (www.coffeecreek.org) and then call for a class schedule. The phone number is 340-8377. f Milligan, who has a medical background, started Coffee Creek Riding Center along with her mother, Lucille Fancy, center founder and president. The services are provided at no charge.

The center receives funding from community groups.

NOVEMBER 14, 2002

BRIEFS Priest serves despite groping allegation DALLAS (AP) A Roman Catholic priest at a high-profile downtown church has been allowed to continue serving despite an accusation that he groped and propositioned a worshipper in 1991, according to correspondence and interviews.

Coadjutor Bishop Joseph Galante, a spokesman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and one of the nation's most outspoken prelates on abuse issues, said in Monday's editions ofThe Dallas Morning News that he has been unable to persuade Bishop Charles Grahmann to remove the Rev. Ramon Alvarez.

The case raises questions about whether the diocese is following its sexual misconduct policies, which were toughened in the wake of clergy abuse scandals that cost more than $30 million in legal settlements.

Alvarez, head priest of the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which has more than 50,000 registered families, is accused of assaulting a worshipper who asked him for help with severe back pain.

The allegations against the priest surfaced in May, when 58year-old Garland Melancon told the diocese that, after the priest agreed to perform a pain-relief blessing, he pulled down Melancon's jogging pants, groped him and propositioned him.

woods in Gordon County around 4 a.m. Sunday. They saw three teenagers leaving the scene in a pickup truck and started to chase them.

The driver of the truck lost control and got stuck in some mud. But before officers reached the vehicle, the two teenagers in the front of the pickup truck turned their guns on themselves.

They were identified as 17year-old Norman Lee Anderson and 18-year-old Joshua Timothy Brewer, both of Resaca.

A third passenger, Thad Johnson Baldwin, 18, was not injured.

Local police, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources are investigating the deaths.

Monday for a student missing since he left a party Saturday night.

Josh Guimond, a junior at St. John's from Maple Lake, was reported missing after he failed to show up for an event Sunday. He was last seen about midnight Saturday as he left a party at Metten Court to walk back to his room at St. Maur House, school officials said.

The slough runs in an open area between the two buildings, and Metten Court is about half a block from the edge of the water.

A search dog led officers to the slough area after it was given a scent of Guimond's clothing.

A State Patrol helicopter also searched the campus area from the air Monday, and searchers on horseback assisted officers.

Friends told officials it was very unusual for Guimond not to keep people notified of his whereabouts. Guimond's car was found on campus, St. John's spokesman Michael Hemmesch said.

Senior soccer players Lisa Hansen and Kim Brown were named to the Verizon Academic All-District VI College Division Women's Soccer Team Nov. 8, said Mike Kirk, UCO assistant athletic director-media relations.

Kirk said Hansen, a fullback from Broken Arrow, earned first-team selection and Brown, a forward from Norman, made the second-team.

Brown said, "I don't think it could get much better since we just won the conference."

Kirk said selection was based on a minimum 3.2 GPA and athletic performance voted by

college sports information directors from NCAA Division II and III and NAIA institutions from Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas.

Hansen carries a 3.9 GPA as an Elementary Education major and Brown has a 3.3 GPA in Biology.

Brown said, "It (academics) is very important. Cause after athletics what are you gonna do?"
