The Student Voice Since 1903
Redlights signal go for car thieves LOS ANGELES (AP) —Kimberly Horton was waiting at a red light on the way home one July night when some young men decided they wanted her car. The 21-year-old college student ended up on the sidewalk, shot in the head and dying. Her Honda Accord was pulled over two hours later, 35 miles away. Instead of breaking into parked cars, thieves increasingly are resorting to forcing the driver out at stoplights, freeway ramps or parking lots, and then speeding away. Police recommend rolling up windows, locking doors, driving in the center lane, taking freeways rather than streets through highcrime areas. "The most important thing is, be aware," Newton said. "If you see someone get out of a car behind you with a gun, drive off. But if they've got their gun barrel 6 inches from your head, do what they say."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ross Perot's small army of die-hard supporters insist their maybe-again candidate is still a potential powder keg in the presidential race. The latest spark ignited Friday with his name being certified on the 50th state ballot — Arizona.

PRAYER
Simple words •A few simple words have ignited a fire on college campuses; and it continues to burn
A few simple words. A few simple words have ignited a debate on American university campuses. The debate is prayer at campus sporting events. A few simple words that were traditionally said before a game may now lead a university to court to fight the American Civil Liberties Union for that right. A few simple words were once said to wish goodwill and safety to the team's players, but now it has become a fight of rights — not of goodwill. A few simple words have led some to believe their right to freedom of religion is being taken away. And some believe their right to freedom of religion is being impeded. A few simple words have spawned confusion in the courts and in school administrations. Are those words so powerful that court cases must be tried? Or do Americans just like a good debate? A few simplewords have gone from soft-spoken to shouting matches. A few simple words are no longer ignored, but instead stir passions for and against those words. A few simple words may cause someone else to convert to religious ways. No one wants that. A few simple words may worship a god that not everyone believes in. That's not fair to those who don't believe. A few simple words are supposedly too loud for people to cover their ears. A few simple words mean more in this land of the Bible belt than in some other states. Or do they? A few simple words will continue to be fought and most probably outlawed at events. But could those words really ever be silenced?

We don't all live like George
I
would like to write a short response to the letter written by Brian Houston in response to the letter written by Neil Kerr. I would like to believe your philosophy that B ush' s "Family Values" stance is going to take us somewhere, Brian, but I just can't. The truth of reality is cold, filled with AIDS, poor education, poverty, unemployment and an everfalling economy all of which are being ignored by Bush and replaced with antics like "Family Values." Who can say what "Family Values" are anyway, and what
would he do to implement them Outlaw Murphy Brown? It is historically proven tha t morality cannot be legislated, and if by taking the stance of his mo rality and values (i.e. prayer M school, the abortion issue, etc.) and legislating them into our judi cial system, he is breaking the constitutional claim of the separa tion of church and state. He is also excluding the large percentage of the population tha t doesn't live the same lifestyle that he does. The separation of church and state gives us the freedom to believe or disbelieve anything we wish, the very reason the first set-
Hers from Europe came here. It is now being threatened. We all want a quick and easy solution, but a politician stating his moral beliefs is not going to change our nation. Take a really good look at our country and our issues and then look at what he's saying. Do they coincide? Our beautiful country is in severe economical trouble; this is the President's concern. My personal lifestyle decisions are mine. -Daphne McCoy UCO Student

t would appear that "The Student Voice Since 1903" has finally been silenced. The blame can't be placed on government dictates, anti-democratic oppression, or even some obscure computer virus. The affliction which led to this premature demise was self-induced. It was a prolonged illness, but the prognosis never changed: UCO students were neither for, nor against apathy. The Editor's Note in the Let-
ters to the Editor section of last Tuesday's Vista should have been a portent of things to come. The white void glaring from the students' contributions section is a fitting eulogy. In retrospect, the intellectual death of UCO students is a reflection of what is happening to our communities-at-large. Extra-curricular activities and "busy work" have replaced personal involvement and commitment. Reaping the fruits of our
forefather's toil without replenishing their sacrifices, contributions, and involvement have depleted the soil in which Democracy grew. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap" – and the harvest looks pretty thin. "If it is to be, it is up to me." These words I have tried to live by. To make dreams come true, it is now up to you. Do SOMETHING, don't let freedom die. -Jodi Waddle, Senator Liberal Arts College
Hell no, she won't shut up R
ecently The Vista has run letters about "family values." Personally, I feel that this partisan game of the government picking and choosing whose family to validate and whose to condemn is disgusting in a time in our history, when people don't know what's going to happen to them next, or to our nation.
No one in this argument has been able to tell me exactly what these particular values are. If by values you mean being, fair, good, kind, honest, not stealing from or killing each other and raising our kids with enough self-esteem and purpose in life to do well in this world, then that's great. I'm for it. Unfortunately, some of those screaming loudest about family
values don't practice many of those things. (Here's where George Bush would probably cut in to tell me to shut up and sit down.) This is an election year and I'm registered to vote, and hell no I won't sit down and shut up Mr. President! -Terri King UCO student

Captain Ron docks in local theaters By Suzanne Gert Guest Writer A tempestuous tale of human will overcoming awesome odds to be number one. A man and a woman discovering their long denied desires amid a stormy wind-tossed sea. Arising victorious oh, sorry that's "Wind." This is a preview for "Captain Ron." I'm always confusing Jennifer Grey and Kurt Russell. Go figure. Martin Short (he was good in "Three Amigos", but can he live down "Pure Luck?") is Martin Harvey, a shagged out corporate executive who inherits a boat from his favorite uncle. With visions of Bob Marley dancing in his head, Martin and his family are off to the Caribbean. Once there they discover the boat is more like the S.S. Minnow than the Pacific Princess. (Ah ha! Conflict!) Captain Ron (Kurt Russell) comes aboard to bail the family out of their nautical nightmare. Also staring are Mary Kay Place, Meadow Sisto, and Bejamin Salisbury as Martin's shiny happy family. "Captain Ron" is now playing in area theaters.
Kurt Russell stars in the new Touchstone Pictures release, "Captain Ron."

Cross country teams heat up cold meet By Justin Harper
Sports Editor
When the University of Central Oklahoma cross country teams cornpeted in Saturday's Oklahoma Christian Invitational, the Bronchos and Lady Bronchos ran into some unseasonably cold weather and ran out with a second place women's team trophy and a third place men's team finish. At race time the temperature was 63 degrees and cloudy, the fans might not have appreciated the chilly climate, but it was just what the doctor ordered for the runners. Sophomore Shawn Johnson led the Bronchos with a second-place overall finish, running the 8,000 meter race in 26:27, just 47 seconds behind first place finisher Wayne Strohman of Oklahoma Christian. As for the women sophomore Ashley Mathis ran the fastest time of the Lady Bronchos, clocking a time of 21:12 which was good for a fifthplace overall finish.
Laying it on the line UCO offensive linemen go through drills in a recent Broncho practice in preparation for Saturdays game against Southern Utah. UCO defeated the Thunderbirds by a score of 21-20 and moved to 3-0 on the season, the teams best start since 1984. In the game the Bronchos stopped a Thunderbird two point conversion to preserve their one point lead. Then the Bronchos forced the Southern Utah kicker to shank a feild goal with 13 seconds remaining. (Related story in Thursday's edition.) (Photo by John Lewis)

Both teams had several runners place high in the race. Senior John McIntosh ran a 27:08 to place second on the team and 11th overall. John Mills came in 15th with a time of 27:33 and Todd Smoot managed a 17th place finish with his 27:34 timing. Mylissa Hall ran the course in 21:53 which was good for an eighth place overall finish and second place on the Lady Broncho team. Just seven seconds behind Hall was Ursula Wabaunsce who finished in tenth place and third on the team. Jody Calloway finished the race in 13th place and a time of 22:59. Other runners competing for UCO were Chad Kubat who finished in 23rd place in a time of 28:09; Casey Twenter, 25th,28:15; Russ Warrington, 26th, 28:19; James McMahan, 29th, 29:01; John Brown, 33rd, 29:27; Brea Lingenfelser, 14th, 23:17; Stephanie Collins, 16th, 24:02 and Susan Henley, 17th, 26:52. The teams will next compete in their only official home meet of the season, when they host the second annual UCO/Lake Arcadia Challenge. The day will begin at 8:30 a.m. with the womens 5,000 meter race.

(AP) - Billy Crystal couldn't accept The Harvard Lampoon's highest honor without demonstrating why he deserved it-even at the expense of his hosts. "The level of humor at The Harvard Lampoon over the years has really been low, and for me to be a part of it really means a lot," the comic said at Wednesday's ceremony. Previous recipients of the Elmer Award include Bill Cosby, Robin Williams and John Candy.
Judge adds 2 years for rude attitude TULSA, Okla. (AP) - A woman who stared at the ceiling in court, dropped her head between her knees and ignored the judge got a lecture on respect - and two years tacked to her sentence. District Judge Clifford Hopper added two years to Marie Polaske' s three-year sentence Wednesday for what he described as her disrespectful attitude. "You better get your head screwed on right or you're going to have a long, hard life in front of you," the judge told Ms. Polaske, 23.
Can't quit smoking? Blame genes BOSTON (AP) - For those who try and fail to give up smoking, the problem may be more than a matter of willpower. A study today says genes may also be to blame. Researchers have known for some time that heredity plays a role in whether people smoke. However, the new work suggests that genes also influence the way they smoke, including whether they get by on a few cigarettes a day, develop pack-a-day habits, find it impossible to quit or shun cigarettes entirely. The study by Dr. Dorit Carmelli in the New England Journal of Medicine The work may have implications for how doctors treat smoking. Those who have a genetic tendency to smoke may need more help quitting. Carmelli is a researcher at SRI International, a non-profit research institute in Menlo Park, Calif.
