"Even drugs that aren't physically addictive can be psychologically addicting," she said. Jan Chapel, coordinator of counseling services at UCO described the effects that addictions can have on students. "They become isolated, they don't want to go out with friends unless they are using friends," said Chapel. "They are generally more unhappy than other students," she said. "They don't socialize— they don't join clubs or become active on campus." In addition, many addicts have relationship problems, money problems, legal problems and work problems, she said.

A six-step plan designed to keep Oklahoma graduates working in the state was recently unveiled at the.capital. Gov. Frank Keating, working with Corporation Commissioner, Ed Apple, created "Project 1000" to curtail the migration of 40 percent of the state's college educated work force after graduation. The education proposal would
benefit the state in two major concerns, Apple said. "'Project 1000' will not only keep those educated in Oklahoma working in Oklahoma, but will help to raise the state's per capita income which is currently at 81 percent of the national average." He said the plan will saturate the state's lackadaisical economic level by generating one billion dollars lost per year as Oklahoma's college graduates search for employment outside
the state's boundaries. "Project 1000" works as the middle man between Oklahomabased businesses and college graduates. As outlined in the plan, students will have to file an application at their university's job placement office or at the local state employment agency. The applicant would then register for employment at the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC). The V See PROJECT, Page 4

nce upon a time, there lived a ruler of a certain nation not so far away. He was a good ruler, but a little on the strict side. He had rules and regulations against drugs, illicit sex and weapons, and actively discouraged heavy drinking and smoking. The people bristled under what they deemed to be excessive control and mutinied. They chose one from among themselves and made him lord over them. "We want the freedom to ogle at demeaning photos of women prancing around in the nude, to own guns that we can take random potshots with, to mainline crack into our viens if we so choose, to lure unsuspecting juveniles online into the clutches of pedophiles, to have the babies of serial killers and the clones of Disney and Einstein, to starve ourselves for the sake of vanity and others for the thrill of it," the masses chanted. The new ruler wanted very badly to be popular and so gave the people what they wanted. "I will give you the desires of your heart, for the days of government as Big Brother are over!" And the people of the nation ran amok with delirium, intoxicated with the freedoms granted them. They pumped their fellow men with lead and those who were not killed died a slow, festering death from a horrible, loathesome disease. And the nation not so far away was a nation no longer. The end.

solution to _those problems was "The War on Drugs." It has been a focal point in American politics for over two decades. In 1995, the federal government spent $13 billion on drug control. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, this included drug treatment, education, law enforcement and international activities, Drug abuse costs the U.S. $60 to $100 billion in lost productivity each year, it said. Some European countries' have eased their legislation regarding drugs rather than pumping money into fighting its distribution. In Amsterdam, the government has made a lawful distinction between "hard drugs" (heroin, cocaine, etc.) and "soft drugs" (marijuana). Possession of marijuana for personal use is a misdemeanor rather than a criminal offense
and no express efforts are made to detect the possession or sale of less than 30 grams of "soft drugs." According to Amsterdam officials who developed the policy, the goal of this tolerant approach is to prevent users of
99 There may be some pluses, (to legalization) but I think the minuses would outweigh the pluses. --LaBette Wallenmeyer, director, UCO Student Health Center relatively less dangerous "soft drugs" from having to rely on illegal circuits. They believe that if "soft drug" users had to obtain
marijuana illegally, it would put them in contact with the dealers of "harder drugs," therefore, increasing the risk of use and crime associated with illegal drugs. Statistics from the Public Relations Department of the City of Amsterdam show that there has been a drop in the percentage of heroin addicts under the age of 22. It dropped from '14.4 percent in 1981 to 2.5 percent in 1991. Amsterdam officals attribute this decline to fewer Amsterdam youths trying "hard drugs." Closer to home, there were five drug related arrests in 1995 at UCO, said James Roberts, chief of campus police. All five involved marijuana. During the same year OU had 30 drug law violations and OSU had 14. Dr. John George, professor of political science commented on the country's drug problem and
possible solutions. "I don't believe we'll ever come close to solving the problem without taking the money out," he said. "I can't think of another way to take the money out except by the state selling it. "Because of the large sums of money involved people are willing to take incredible risks," he said. Both Wallenmeyer and Chapel worry that if drugs were legalized there would be more addicts. "Some people don't try it because its not legal," Wallenmeyer said. "There may be some pluses, (to legalization) but I think the minuses would outweigh the pluses." Jay Lackey, primary counselor at Drug Recovery Inc. in Arcadia, works with addicts everyday. "Drug use among college students has always been
prevalent—it's the first time away from home and people want to try new things," he said. The most common drugs Lackey sees among his collegeage clientele are alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and amphedimines. Students who are worried they may have a drug problem can begin by seeking help at the UCO Counseling Center. When students seek help at the center, they are given a short test called a SASSI (substance abuse subtle screening inventory) to test for chemical dependency. If they are determined to be chemically dependent, then a complete history of usage is done. This is to determine what type of recovery would be most appropriate. "Recovery is the rest of your life," said Chapel. "Its not just recovering from drug usage, its learning new life skills."

OneNet online service to provide students with new tools for learning By Judy Simpson Student Writer
Students from UCO and thoroughout Oklahoma can expect easier access to information when OneNet goes online this year. OneNet is a statewide telecommunications and information network slated to go into effect by Summer 1996. In Debember, members of the Contingency Review Board, including Gov. Frank Keating, approved $8 million in allocations to expand Oklahoma's present telecommunication system. The allocation is part of a statewide bond package approved by voters in 1992. A press conference was held Jan. 22 in OKC to announce the newest advantages and advances of OneNet. UCO will be proposed as one of 33 regional network hub sites. Each hub site will provide a technical link for 3,000 user sites such as libraries, public schools, colleges, universities and vocational-technical schools. The State Regents office is exploring services OneNet can provide students such as:

Hopkins professes a love of kids. Seward said that when Hopkins first came here, Hopkins participated in UCO's basketball camp for children ages 7-16. "We had heard nothing but positive things not only about his basketball, which we could see, but about him as a person, and they were all true," said Seward. "He helped us out at camps here prior to the start of school, and the kids loved him. On the floor with the youngsters you could tell he took a keen interest in what w_ e were teaching, and then when he applied it to them, he was also learning himself." Hopkins hopes to someday be a child psychologist, and his love of kids coupled with his personality should help him. "(Hopkins) has a really good personality," said Seward.

Number one Bronchos host NCAA Division ll Showdown Duals in Hamilton Fieldhouse By Jeff Packham
Sports Writer The top-ranked Broncho wrestling squad hopes to continue a couple of streaks this weekend when they host the NCAA Division II Showdown Duals in Hamilton Fieldhouse. UCO (3-5) has a 40-match winning streak against nonDivision I competition since 1991 and has also defeated 42 straight non-Division I opponents at home, a streak that dates back to 1986.
The Bronchos will be led by Shawn Bateman at 150 pounds, Jerry Best in the 142-pound division and Mark Cunningham at 158 pounds. Bateman has been UCO's hottest wrestler, winning his last 10 matches, including three this past weekend at the Cliff Keen National Duals. Bateman is 20-5 on the season. Best has won nine of his last 10 with the only loss coming to the ninth-ranked wrestler in Division I, Phil Judge. Best, a two-time national champion, is

The Bronchos (10-7, 3-4), who are fifth in LSC standings, look to sweep the season series against Abilene Christian (8-9, 1-6) and Angelo State (4-13, 0-7) at home, having already defeated ACU, 102-97, and ASU, 92-84, on the road. Tyrone Hopkins, Scott Sanders and DeWayne Rogers lead the way for the UCO men, who snapped a four-game slide by winning Saturday night at Tarleton State. Hopkins, a junior forward, is averaging a team-high 23.5 points a game and also 8.1 rebounds a contest. Sanders has turned it up the last eight games, scoring almost 18 points per game.

Two If By Sea sinks to the bottom Reviews are rated on the five star scale. Five is the best possible rating and one is the least.
Two If By Sea can be likened a blue floater, or in layman's terms, a dead fish. The movie, starring Denis Leary (The Ref) and Sandra Bullock (Speed, The Net), reeks of stale ditchwater and is just as dull. Leary and Bullock are two art thiefs who pull off a $4 million painting heist—supposedly their last. They take off to picturesque
to
Rhode Island to lie low and wait out the heat. Predictably, things do not go as expected, and the lovers find themselves dealing with the proverbial seven-year itch, among other things. Bullock, with her impish smile and nonplussed expression, is hardly acting. The role seems to be tailor-made for her, right down to the perfunctory antics. Bullock can do better than this—she is more than capable of straining beyond the confines of dramatic stereotype. Leary is a big let-down, especially if you caught him in The Ref. The wicked wit and biting satire that made him shine
in the former is conspicuously absent in Two If By Sea. Instead, Leary chooses to waste his talent acting like a klutz and staging those little "tripping over my feet" scenes, which begin to wear thin when they're done once too often. The movie is not without its saving graces, however, and they assume the unlikely f6rm of four bungling villians, who make their clumsy way to Rhode Island to seize back the painting from Leary. Along the way, the cozy foursome, led by nasal-voiced Beano (Wayne Robson), steals a police car, a Mercedes, an icecream van and a cement truck, promptly leaving hot clues for
the coppers to follow up on. "This is way too easy," exclaims the dectectiVe on the case, a James Earl Jones clone. The movie's climax is as flat as Bullock's chest. Instead of culminating into a crescendo, it ebbs pleasantly away at low tide. Boy loses girl to villian, boy proves how villianous the villian is, boy wins girl back, yawn! Whether by land or by sea, this movie's a tad too trite and a mite too pretty.
