Pollution: new spermicide LONDON (AP) — Sperm may be a casualty of pollution, according to a new report that the average sperm count in healthy men has dropped by half in the past 50 years. Dr. Niels E. Skakkebaek of the University of Copenhagen directed the review of 61 studies around the world that looked at 14,947
men. "I think there is cause for concern," said Dr. Richard Sharpe, a respected reproductive biologist at the University of Edinburgh. "If there is something in our environment having an effect that is drastic enough to decrease sperm count by 50 percent, we should know what this factor is."
Iran buys nuke power WASHINGTON (AP) — China and Russia, rejecting strong appeals from U.S. officials, have decided to sell Iran nuclear reactors and technology. They argue that Iran's sole aim is to produce electricity, but the Bush administration is concerned that Iran intends to use the technology to produce weapons. See World Wrap, back page

Enrollment jumps; classes crowded By Tami Watson Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma is growing by leaps and bounds as fall enrollment reached an all-time high of 15,839. With 852 more students than the previous year, the figures show the largest increase since 1973 when the Vietnam War brought a large number of students back to class. The 5.5 percent increase is the biggest percentage jump since 1983 when oil patch problems brought students back to campus. "We are extremely pleased with the enrollment figures," said University President George Nigh. "I think these figures validate what we already know: that we have superior teaching, relevant programs and convenient scheduling to meet the needs of our students." Nigh addressed the problem of finding enough classroom space to meet the enrollment demands saying that "good news brings bad news." The University plans to combat the problem by stressing afternoon and evening classes. "This fall's offering of afternoon classes in a wide variety of subject matter is the greatest effort yet in our strategy to best utilize classroom space which is now at a premium, said Nigh. "Of the 284 afternoon sections now offered, half are

closed. Only 23 percent of the evening classes are closed." Nigh also added that offering weekend classes might help alleviate the crowded classroom situation. The University made available 252 additional parking spaces this semester, however with 825 additional students "we take one step forward and two steps back," said Nigh. With the added attraction of the Metro-transit bus service to the campus, Nigh hopes that more students will be encouraged to ride the bus rather than drive their cars. Carpooling would also help, he said. The total enrollment represents 75 counties in Oklahoma, 41 states and 67 foreign countries. "Although nearly 75 percent of our enrollment comes from the metro area, I think these figures reinforce the reputation that we are gaining for being a truly national and international as well as urban institution," said Nigh.

PERFORMING ARTS -77/EAra VOTE A win-win situation? • Edmond voters will decide the fate of a new performing arts theater in today's election
Yes 'em all? That's what a special committee in Edmond wants voters to do in today's election. And so do some University of Central Oklahoma administrators. If all 11 questions on today's ballot are passed, UCO would receive a new performing arts theater on campus. Well .. . kind of. The City of Edmond would actually own the theater located on university property, which would seat from 1200 to 1800 people per performance, and UCO could host theater and music performances there — for a small fee to the city. "It's a win-win situation," said UCO President Gov. George Nigh, "a good deal for both the university and the city." If voters approve the questions, a one cent sales tax will go into effect in Edmond for 57 months. After the first 57 months, the tax would then decrease to one-eighth cent. A new theater on campus could allow for more fine arts performances since Mitchell Hall is consistently booked. The theater could also help to create a good union between the university and the city of Edmond. But the blueprints for the theater are on hold until election results are announced. And Edmond voters should announce their approval, or disapproval, today.
CORRECTIONS Due to incorrect information provided to The Vista, an article in the Sept. 3 issue about the installation of condom machines was in error. Dr. Bill Lillard, president emeritus, did not approve a student senate resolution permitting the sale of condoms in residence halls.

his letter is in response to Neil Kerr' s comments on George Bush's "family values" platform (The Vista 910-92). The author states that George Bush supports family values, but everyone does not have a perfect family. I am sure that Mr. Bush realizes this. If everyone had a perfect, functioning family, then there would be no need for an emphasis on family values. I am sure that most people would agree that one's family has a serious effect on them.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)— An even dozen legislative races will be on today's runoff ballot, but only three of them will involve incumbents in a year that many had predicted would be particularly difficult for officeholders. Six of the runoff victors, five of them in the House, will win election because there is no party opposition. They will join the nine senators who have won re-election and the 47 incumbents and one newcomer who already have been elected to the House. Half of the 48 Senate seats were up for election this year while all 101 House seats were up. Sen. Rex W. Chandler, DIdabel, is the only Senate incumbent who faces a runoff. His opponent is Jack Bell, an Idabel CPA who led Chandler by 447 votes in last month's three-man Democratic primary. The winner will capture the Senate District 5 seat because there is no Republican opposition. Reps. George Vaughn, D-Big Cabin, and Chester Dusty Rhodes, D-Checotah, are the only House incumbents who have a runoff opponent. Vaughn is challenged by Joe T. Eddins, a Vinita cattle and real estate man. The winner will be elected to the District 6 seat without Republican opposition. In District 15, Rhodes faces Deborah K. Kelsoe of Eufaula, a nursing home administrator who trailed Rhodes by only 39 votes in the primary. The winner here also is elected without a GOP opponent. The other runoff races in the House are all for vacant seats. One runoff race in the Senate involves a vacant seat while the other is between two Democrats for the right to challenge the Republican incumbent. In Senate District 23, where Sen. Ray Giles, D-Pocasset, did not seek reelection, agribusiness man Bruce Price of Hinton and
teacher Beth Barnett Reigh of Chickasha are seeking the Democratic nomination. The winner will run against Republican A.L. "Ace" Jenkins in November. The other Senate race is in District 47, which is represented by Sen. Mike Fair, R-Bethany. The Democratic runoff opponents are James Morgan of Oklahoma City, an electrician, and James Bollinger of Edmond, a farm manager. In House District 18, where Rep. Walt Roberts, DMcAlester, did not run again, the Democratic runoff opponents are Lowell Buddy Cable and Lloyd
L. Fields, both of McAlester. Randal Lee Erwin of Nashoba and Danny Hampton of Hugo are seeking the Democratic nomination in District 20, where Rep. Bart Bates, D-Boswell, did not seek re-election. The winner will face Republican Patrick K. Miller of Snow in November. Both Democratic and Republican runoffs are set in House District 56, which is vacant because of the death of Rep. Tom Manar, D-Apache. Democratic candidates are Arthur Linville of Cement and Ron Langmacher of Carnegie. Republican runoff opponents are Pat Hayes of Anadarko and
Raymond M. McPherson of Cement. Minette Page and Ron Kirby McConnell, both of Lawton, are seeking the Democratic nomination and the election in District 64, where Rep. Sid Hudson, D-Lawton, stepped down. There is no Republican opposition. The final House runoff race is in District 100, which Rep. Ernest Jim Istook, R-Warr Acres, vacated to run for Congress. Bill Conner of Oklahoma City and Richard Phillips of Warr Acres are the candidates in the challenge for the winner in November.

A University of Central Oklahoma political science class and KOCO Channel 5 teamed up to sponsor a debate last Friday night between Republican Party candidates Bill Price and Earnest Istook, who will face each other today in the runoff primary for the Oklahoma Fifth District Congressional Seat. A panel of four news journalists, along with four UCO political science students joined together to ask the candidates questions. Political Science Class President Rebecca Zahn said approximately 40 UCO students showed up for the event. UCO student Chris Vickrey, who organized the event with Channel 5, said he did so to let college students know that politicians are interested in their vote and that their vote is important. When asked what they would do for college students if elected, Istook said it is a great opportunity for students to get involved in politics, and said he would work to influence leadership. Price said he would work to make it easier for middle income students to get loans for school.

Music Television: Awards offer sparkling performances, ego clashes and gossip ... By Kathy Jo Karr Entertainment Editor
The MTV video awards were exceptional this year. No longer dominated by the pop genre, the show offered up little talk and lots of live music. The Black Crowes, God's salvation for rock n' roll, kicked off the show in high steppin' style with a rockin' "Remedy," and a deliciously manic Pearl Jam offered up their moving tune "Jeremy." The Pearl's Eddie Veddcr is king vocalist this year, although for the most part unintelligible. Nirvana gave a typically Whotype performance with a surprisingly clear-eyed Kurt Cobain. According to crack MTV newshounds Kurt Lodcr and Tabitha Soren, some words were exchanged backstage between mem-
tiers of Nirvana and Gunner frontman Axl Rose (according to rumors, Axl made remarks about Kurt Cobain's and wife Courtney Love's alleged heroin abuse, to which Nirvana's bassist responded during their performance by screeching, at a really high and irritating pitch, "Hi, Axl! Hi, Axl!"). Wow, with each year that passes, Axl just gets more and more mature. Why, by the time he reaches emotional adulthood, Axl might even be allowed to cross the street by himself! Howard Stern, usually crass but at least halfway amusing, managed to humiliate himself by appearing, with Luke Perry no less, as "Fartman." According to Sammy Hagar: "Howard Stern is a jerk." As host and witty one extraordinaire, "Saturday Night Live" alum Dana Carvey kept talk to a minimum. The remarks he did make
were always on target and a refreshing change from last year's (and the year before and the year before) host, Arsenio Hall. The classis comic moment of the evening was Canvey's appearance with U2 sporting his Garth persona. U2 were performing in Detroit and hooked into the awards show in L.A. via satellite to perform "Even Better Than The Real Thing." Carvey was patched in through
Column the band's many large video screens at the venue in Detroit, much to the delight of the concertgoers. (Some sample dialogue: "Gee, I'm talkin' to Bono! I think I'm gonna hurl!" says Garth. "Come on, Garth," responds Bono, "We wouldn't want to to blow chunks all over Kurt Loder, now would we?").

Ozzie's still on his way, but the openers have changed. The legendary Motorhead and Seattle's Alice In Chains are taking over warm-up duties.

And speaking of "Singles," if you still haven't had enough of the Seattle scene, guess where the movie is set? The film stars Matt Dillon as a struggling Seattle musician, and members of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden will be making their acting debuts as members of Dillon's on-screen band.

This year's MTV Music Awards were a rock n'roll junkie's wet dream. Four of the greatest bands in rock—Van Halen, Metallica, Guns n'Roses, and U2—were on hand to exorcise the ghosts of previous performers Mariah Carey, Michael Bolton, and Wilson Phillips. I had a vision of love, but thanks to MTV's time, love, and tenderness we don't have to hold on for one more day for rock to reclaim its throne. One of the most deserved but big surprise awards went to Arrested Development for Best Rap Video. "Tennessee," the band's poignant depiction of the trek south in search of black America's roots, proved once and for all that rap is one of music's purest and most honest art forms. Baby may got back, but she also has depth. The majority of live performances were rock or heavy metal and more or less, I hate to say it,
WHITE (although Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was doing his darnedest to look like Flavor Flay of Public Enemy). Rock and rap were also in agreement within the lyrics of two of this year's hottest songs. Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" offered the plaintive "I'm goin' hungry" which was answered by "Tennessee's" stoic "But I am still thirsty." MTV has finally established itself as a different life-form compared to the usual staid award show format. The 'Chili Pepper's stage full of moshing fans during "Give It Away" was testimony in the flesh, so to speak. Flea's free "Look, I wear Hanes His Way" ad was enough to obliterate the family values of anyone watching. Kiedis then thanked Satan upon winning the Breakthrough Video award. I'm not sure what happened after that. Satan called to make sure I was videotaping it for him.

The 13-song debut offers originals, some high points being "Death and Comedy" and "The Only Hope."

Question: What ethereal lead singer of a local band frightened his fans by almost killing himself while climbing the rafters in Enid? Answer next week!
All in all, the program had very few low moments, and a lot of great music. The only performers to really disappoint were Michael Jackson and Bobby Brown. Brown sounded hoarse and unable to strain to keep up with all those people who were "Humpin' Around." But the show was funny and the music for the most part was great. Good job, dudes.
Even better than the real thing was Garth asking Dublin's pride and joy if he ate Lucky Charms. "Only the blue stars, not the green clovers," Bono responded.

Barb-borrowing big in arena WASHINGTON (AP)—The political air is crowded with the other fellow's discourse these days and its getting harder to tell the candidates apart, at least by their rhetoric. When Bill Clinton used Ronald Reagan's famous 1980 line—"There you go again"—the other day, he wasn't the first Democrat to abscond with it. Walter Mondale did in 1984, while debating Reagan. Reagan used the line to great effect in his single campaign debate against Jimmy Carter. Fending off Carter's attacks, Reagan questioned one figure, said another remark was a "distortion," another a "misstatement," another "just not true." Then, with a genial thrust, he added, "There you go again." The rest is history. Clinton revived the line before the Detroit Economic Club. He recalled Reagan's economic pledges, but said the national debt had quadrupled in 12 Republican years. He cited President Bush's new campaign pledges and said, "These promises, too are false, and they, too, will betray us if we follow them. In the words of the man who started all of this, there they go again." Kathleen Hall Jamieson, an authority on the language of politics, says lifting an opponent's adages is an old trick in politics. "It's classical rhetorical appropriation," says Jamieson, dean of the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's a form of rebuttal. It's a way of capturing discourse which once worked for someone else and now works for you. It's a way of turning the table. "Jamieson said "there you go again" passed into common currency the moment Mondale stole it. The same thing has happened to Sen. Lloyd Bentsen's gift to the Rhetorical Hall of Fame—the "I knew so-and-so, so-and-so was a friend of mine, and, senator, you're no so-and-so" structure. Now everyone uses it, every chance that comes along. Quayle, however, made it audacious by turning it on himself during the Republican National Convention. "Now listen to this," he said, "in an attempt to establish credibility in foreign policy, Governor Clinton recently compared himself to former Governor Ronald Reagan." Then: "I know Ronald Reagan. "Ronald Reagan is a friend of mine. "And, Bill Clinton, you're no Ronald Reagan." Audacity is hardly enough to describe Labor Secretary Lynn Martin's act of plagiaristic tableturning.
In nominating Bush at the GOP convention, she brazenly stole Reagan's question, used against Carter in 1980—"Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"—a question one would think that no Republican would dare ask in these recession-scarred times.
Maybe she thought by using it first, it would seem "no longer fresh or interesting" as Jamieson put it, when the Democrats get around to it.

The temptation will be great and getting around to it, you can be sure, the Democrats will be.

A dream . . . or a nightmare: In vitro fertilization a possible alternative for infertile couples By Debbie DeGeer Guest Writer
She lay quietly on the examination table, studying the ceiling in the dark, cold room. She tried to focus on a spot on the ceiling and concentrate on something so the pain would disappear. She clinched her hands so tight that her fingernails made deep indentions in her palms. The Valium and Demoral the nurse gave her did not induce the promised calming affect. She whispered in her mind repeatedly: "This is worth it. I will eventually forget the pain. This will work." The doctor warned her that she would feel a "little stick" before he continued the procedure. The last stick resulted in a punctured blood vessel. She felt the warm, sticky blood flow from her body as she began to hemorrhage. The nurse attempted to joke about how messy the doctor was. She said that she mopped the floor in her house last night and didn't want to mop this floor today. They continued to use humor to cover-up the seriousness of the situation. But, she knew she was in trouble. The two-hour procedure turned into a ten-hour nightmare. The doctor stopped the external bleeding; but, she still bled internally. The doctor monitored the situation closely. Her husband paced outside the room, he prayed hard. He swore to never put her through this again. At 2:30 p.m., six hours after the procedure started, the doctor allowed him to see her. He comforted her and stroked her hair. He told her he loved her over and over. By 5 p.m. the bleeding stopped and she escaped surgery. She sipped a Ginger Ale, her first drink in 19 hours. The doctor released her to go home. Unfortunately, the loss of blood combined with the lack of food and fluids weakened her. She fainted twice as she tried to leave the doctor's office. The medical staff made her drink more Ginger Ale and eat graham crackers with peanut butter. She finally left the office
at 6:45 p.m. The couple, professionals in their early 30s, tried to start a family three and one-half years ago. The procedure which caused so much trauma and pain was in vitro fertilization. It was not successful. She said quietly: "It is amazing what couples do to have children. Although the pain is forgotten, I will never forget that experience. I was scared. I really thought I might bleed to death." Fifteen to 20 percent of couples are unable to conceive. Many couples seek infertility treatments for as long as five to 10 years. The want-to-beparents pursue an almost impossible goal to reach. A couple who walks into an infertility specialist's office have a 50/50 chance of getting pregnant. The odds can decrease drastically after a battery of expensive tests are performed. Few insurance companies provide coverage for infertility treatments. Couples find themselves financially destitute unless they possess an unlimited supply of money. Costs can escalate above $50,000 depending on insurance coverage and procedures performed. This couple's insurance coverage is good. However, their out-of-pocket expenses are above the $5,000 mark and will surpass $8000 after their next procedure. Costs are not the only major problem — the emotional side of infertility is devasting. Infertile couples are on a monthly roller-coaster. Their emotions fly through highs, lows, optimism and disappointment. The ride is rough and it is difficult not to become too emotionally battered. A high percentage of couples do not continue treatment because they cannot take the stress. She said: "I became obsessed with having a baby. I spent the second infertile year in a frenzy. All I could concentrate on was the fact I couldn't get pregnant. I was frustrated and desperate. It effects your work, your marriage, your life."
Implementation success rate at 15 percent in OKC By Tami Watson Staff Writer
The ability to become pregnant and bear a child is often taken for granted by women. For some, however, pregnancy is a difficult, sometimes impossible task that many women would desperately give anything to attain. In vitro fertilization is a method many women resort to when other fertility methods fail. Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City usually does around 50 of these surgeries per

She said people automatically assume a childless couple in their 30s don't want to have children. Strangers can make could, insensitive remarks. A new neighbor told her it wasn't right for her to drive a Volvo because she doesn't have children. This couple also receives alot of free advice. Some people who know they are trying to conceive, but without success tell them how to get the job done right. They agree the comments are those expressing pity. People tell this couple how unfulfilled life will be without children and offer their sincere sympathies. They take these statements in stride. "We're pretty lucky," she said. "We love each other, we have a strong marriage and we agree that we will be happy with or without children." One of the most difficult decisions to make is when to stop treatments. Doctors allow patients to continue until there are no other options or there is no more money. He said they take a pragmatic approach to treatments. "We will do what we can medically, within reason. But, when it comes right down to it, the big guy upstairs has total control. You have to have faith." They are currently seeing a doctor who suggested GIFT instead of in vitro fertilization. both GIFT and IVF require the woman's ovaries be stimulated with various hormonal inducing medications. The distinction is GIF1' entails a one step procedure instead of four and fertilization occurs in the woman's body, not in vitro in a laboratory dish or incubator. Their doctor told them the success rate for G11-"1 is higher than a normal, fertile couple. The major difference is that fertile couples don't have to pay $10,000 a month for the chance to conceive. "If we don't get pregnant, I guess we can retire early, drive nice cars, travel and see the world. People with children are horrified when we talk like this. In a way we are kidding; but, we have to look at all the positive angles of a possible negative situation," he said.
Stress Management Support Group Presented as a service of the UCO Counseling Center We all experience stress of one form or another in our daily lives, and it has become increasingly apparent that failure to effectively cope with life's stressors can lead to physical, psychological and academic difficulties. This group is designed to bring together those students wishing to more fully develop effective stress management skills, as well as to address stressful issues in a confidential and supportive setting. A few of the key areas to be addressed include: • Stress and the body • Stress and the mind • Techniques for coping with life stressors • Stress and the college student Some of the techniques to be used include: • the group counseling process • coping exercises • group discussions • presentation of informative material The stress management group will meet once a week, is free of charge to students and will be led by Jim R. Keller, an advanced graduate student completing an M.Ed. in Community Counseling. The leader and group will be supervised by the University Counseling Center and a licensed psychologist.
All prospective group members must participate in a brief and confidential screening interview with the group leader prior to attending the first session. For more information and to set up an interview, contact the

Bronchos tag Tigers in explosive thriller By Justin Harper Sports Editor Late in Central Oklahoma's game versus Fort Hays State the Bronchos found their offense, found the endzone and found themselves on the positive end of a 2-0 record for the first time since 1985. UCO, trailing 9-0 at the half, exploded for 17 points in a span of two minutes and thirty seconds to down Fort Hays State 17-15 Saturday in Fort Hays, Kansas. After 43 minutes of scoreless play the Bronchos finally dented the scoreboard when Lee Stamper booted a 26 yard field goal which made the score 3-9. After the ensuing kickoff the the Tiger offense fumbled the ball, and Tony Loud recovered for the Bronchos on the UCO 27. After Tyrone Jones hauled in a 15 yard pass to put the Bronch's on the 11 yard line, UCO took the lead at 10-9 when quarterback Mark Reiland hit Keith Brown with an 11 yard touchdown pass with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The Broncho defense snuffed the FHSU offense once again and prepared to add to their lead. As it turned out that feat took about eight seconds. Cornerback Cleveland Phillips retreated to the UCO 17, fielded the tiger punt, then blazed 83 yards down the sideline into the endzone. After Stamper's PAT completed the scoring binge, the Bronchos had rung up 17 unanswered points to make the score 17-9. From that point the Broncho defense took over. The Tiger offense mounted a drive down to the UCO two yard line where it was first and goal. The Broncho defense would not budge however and stopped Fort Hays on four straight plays to preserve the lead. Late in the game the Tigers did manage to get into the endzone to make it 17-15 and lined up for a two point conversion attempt to tie the game. Then the staunch UCO defense shone again as DB Mart Leming picked off the two-point try pass with 3:01 remaining in the game. The excitement did not end there however as the Tigers again mounted a drive to win the game. Fort Hays marched down to the UCO 38 yard line and sent in kicker Roy Miller to try a 55 yard field goal with 28 seconds left, and as the saying goes "close but no cigar." UCO came away with their second victory in as many tries, their best start in seven years, and a head full of steam heading into next weeks showdown with Southern Utah. V

UCO Soccer Club future looking bright By Tami Watson Staff Writer
The University of Central Oklahoma Soccer Club is facing a brighter future after receiving a long-awaited $3,000 budget from the University.
"We are so excited," said Jalal Daneshfar, club sponsor. "This is the first time we have officially received funding from the University." In past years, the club, active since 1987, relied on its members to provide funding, said Daneshfar. "The new budget will ease the financial pressure on the students," said Daneshfar. "Now they can just enjoy playing without worrying about money." Daneshfar said that as a result of the new budget, both men and women's teams will be actively involved in weekly practices. "We will have practices for both indoor and outdoor teams and we will also be involved with
the the Oklahoma Indoor Soccer League and the Central Oklahoma Adult Soccer League," he said. The club has also had various sponsors throughout the years to help with expenses. Daneshfar said that although soccer is only a club sport, he hopes it will become a varsity sport in the near future. "Administration has not had the money to add another varsity sport to the University in the past," said Daneshfar. "I hope that when they do decide that they have the money, soccer will be at the top of the list." For more information on the soccer club, contact Daneshfar at 341-2980, Ext. 2377.

Staff Writer In uncertain economic times, sound financial investments can make the difference between living comfortably and living on the street. Stocks, bonds, Treasury Bills and Money Markets, while perhaps great investments, may seem out of reach to the average college student.

Irwin Guide to Personal Financial Planning, investments generally fall into four major categories: 1) Money markets, 2) long term bonds, 3) common stock and 4) real assets. "Companies issue stock to raise money," said Douglas Sease, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, "and basically what the investor who buys that stock or share is doing is buying a piece of the company." "The primary market, is where a company issues stock for the first time in order to raise money," Sease said. The company's initial sale of stock is usually to large underwriting

Investment grade and speculative grade. In investment grade, AAA is the highest rating a company can receive, being called a "prime credit risk." BBB is the lowest in the investment grade category. Below investment grade is speculative grade, which carries a greater risk to the investor, but generally yields a higher interest rate. The most commonly owned bonds are municipal bonds, or "munies," said Alexandra Peers, a reporter for the New York Times. Municipal bonds are a way for local governments to raise money for city improvements, repair and education and fund operations. "It's the investment, other than mutual funds, most often owned by individuals. It's the real building block of the investment market," Peers said.

"I'd start by taking a class in the area," Ice said. "A broker is not always the best way because they're selling a product like anyone else."

Bricktown pub brewing now OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma's first brew/pub is taking shape in the historic Bricktown area of Oklahoma City, a mini-brewery that will provide the golden draft for diners in the pub's restaurant. But Bryan Jester, managing partner of the Bricktown Brewery, says he foresees the operation as being much more than just a restaurant with its own brands of beer brewed just feet from the bar. "I think it will promote tourism to Oklahoma City, and especially to Bricktown, - says Jester, a political science major in college. We will offer tours and show people just how a handcrafted beer is made."
Foreign trading saves U.S. jobs WASHINGTON (AP) - Campaigning in South Dakota, Bush announced a billion-dollar program of export subsidies to help U.S. wheat farmers compete against subsidized European grain, although the administration had opposed trade subsidies. Bush said that since the Europeans wouldn't drop theirs, he wanted foreign governments on notice that he'll fight for American exports. In Texas, he announced a S6 billion jet fighter sale to Taiwan, blocked for a decade because of administration policy on Ch ina and arms sales. That translates to defense jobs in Fort Worth, and also at plants in Connecticut and California . Another jet deal with Saudi Arabia could save defense jobs in Missouri and Oklahoma. Clinton supports both sales; he said the Saudi deal could not be at the expense of Israel's military edge. Bush has said it wouldn't be.
