General gets fake bloodbath KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) — A former Green Beret who turned peace activist splattered retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf with fake blood as the Gulf War commander promoted his autobiography. "All the revenue you generate from the sale of this book is blood money, general," Michael Gayler, 43, of Seattle, said Monday as authorities held him to the floor. He was charged with assault and released without bail.

Grandma has buns in oven ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — A 53-year-old woman became pregnant with twins through in-vitro fertilization, and a doctor said she had the same chance of a successful pregnancy as a younger woman. Mary Shearing, who has three children and two grandchildren from a previous marriage, was going through menopause when she became pregnant. The twins were conceived using her husband's sperm and eggs donated by a woman in her 20s. The donor's name was not made public.

Pope ripped NEW YORK (AP) — Spokesmen for the Roman Catholic Church accused Sinead O'Connor of promoting hate after the singer tore up a picture of the pope on "Saturday Night Live." Near the end of the show early Sunday, O'Connor sang "War," written by the late Jamaican superstar Bob Marley — also a critic of Catholicism.

The Student Voice Since 1903

Metal buildings ease crowding Temporary structures house education, liberal arts students By Roy Howe

Staff Writer

Due to a larger enrollment than administrators anticipated, some University of Central Oklahoma students Tuesday found their class located where only asphalt lay a month ago. Two pre-fabricated buildings containing classrooms and faculty offices were constructed last month to accommodate the ever-growing student population. Joyce Mounce, administrative vice president, said 10 class sections are now scheduled to be located in the portable buildings with the possibility of more to be added this semester. "I'm still working with faculty," she said. The classes to move into the portable buildings are primarily from the College of Education and include classes from the College of Liberal Arts, Mounce said. The relocation is based on oversized classes and takes into consideration the State Regents for Higher Education's space utilization standards which address fire code rules. "We moved them (classes) over there with the expressed anticipation to make the class sizes more manageable for proper classroom instruction and to • address the fire code situation," said Dr. Clyde Jacob, academic vice president. Behind the need for the portable buildings lies the university's late enrollment process which allowed additional students to take the faculty and administration by surprise. "The whole issue arose as a result of the surprise record enrollment increase," Jacob said. "It's a pleasant surprise for us, but along with record enrollment comes additional problems that we have to deal with such as

space and facilities for the students. "Because of late enrollment, we did not realize this problem until two weeks into the semester," he said. Through the efforts of Mounce, who worked through the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges, UCO received emergency authorization to obtain the buildings. "They were purchased and delivered in a very short amount of time," Jacob said. Mounce said the cost of the two buildings complete with air conditioning, heating and carpet totaled $70,000. Some classes were rearranged to solve the overcrowding problem, but others were faced with no alternatives. "In some cases we could simply switch classrooms," Mounce said, "but there was no place large enough to accommodate the classes that were relocated," Mounce said. "Some colleges were able to make some adjustments to get their classes down to a manageable size," Jacob said, but other colleges were just not able to do that." Portable buildings are a new alternative to overcrowding at UCO. "This is the first time we've used portable buildings," Jacob said. "We've had to go to other measures because of space in the past," he said. The First United Methodist Church and Dayspring Church of Christ were utilized for extra class space in 1989 and 1990. "Several years ago we received national coverage by the press when we used a casket room to hold a class," Jacob said. Classes to be held in the portable buildings are already being scheduled for the spring semester, Mounce said. "I've had 15 requests for the spring — and anticipate more."

Accreditation team finishes UCO study By Roy Howe

Staff Writer A seven member on-site reaccreditation team, touring the campus to verify the University of Central Oklahoma's self-study report, wrapped up its examination of the campus Wednesday. In order for UCO to remain accredited with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools it must periodically submit a self-study of itself to be confirmed by a visiting team. The team arrived Monday to verify the university's self-study which explains what the university is doing, how it is organized to do it, how it is accomplishing its duties and

what the university will do to continue its services. "We've had several weeks prior to arriving here to review the information that the institution has provided us," said Dr. Warren Armstrong, team chair of the on-site North Central team. We're here now to see if it's consistent with what we find," he said. Armstrong said it was not appropriate for him to comment on the team's findings at this time, but explained that the people attending UCO have made a good choice. "It's been a very interesting visit," Armstrong said. "This is a dynamic university. I think the students at UCO shouldn't feel unhappy about their decisions to enroll here," he said.

A portable campus? •Lack of classroom space forces college administrators to resort to temporary buildings to house students

Where what once was a bare piece of asphalt, now stand two white-painted metal buildings. The buildings rise out of the used-to-be sidewalks, clearly visible to all who pass by. The mobile-home like structures, sitting on four concrete blocks, are now home to some College of Education and Liberal Arts students. An increase in enrollment caused the University of Central Oklahoma administration to buy the buildings for about $70,000 — complete with heating, air conditioning and carpet. UCO is the largest regional university in Oklahoma. Enrollment this fall passed last year's enrollment by 825 students. And next fall, about 16,000 students are expected to walk the campus. And still, students are being forced to attend classes in small, temporary metal buildings. The situation is truly pathetic. To a first-grader, moving into a portable building may seem exciting and different — but to a college senior there is nothing exciting about it. And the stagnant lack of money to build a real classroom building remains. The frightening part of this situation is that higher education in Oklahoma must really be hurting if one of their largest institutions must resort to temporary houses for the students. This university may not be filled with traditional college students, but it should be filled with traditional permanent buildings. If voters approve the Nov. 3 bond issue question, UCO could gain $7.7 million — and the blueprints for a new classroom building. Something basic that UCO desperately needs.

The Perot paradox

he presidential election is beginning to insult the intelligence of many United States voters. Ross Perot has now officially entered the race and many people are excited about his decision. But why? Why is he better than Bill Clinton or George Bush? The name Ross Perot is already well-known in the U.S., so what's his motive? His company certainly doesn't need free advertising and his book

Perot is not a politician, so congressional support would be minimal. The country would be run like a business, but is that how it should be run? So Perot' s abusinessman.

Family values becoming cliche n response to the letter by Loretta Thomas — if one more person goes on about "family values" I may scream. The catch phrase of "family values," fast becoming cliche, is just an excuse for those who feel morally superior to others to put the blame off onto the "undesirables" of our country. The fact that we can't pray at school functions comes from problems inside the religious sect itself, not a decay of morals. The Methodists are offended if a Bap-

tist leads prayer and vice versa— and what about the Catholics? The Jewish sect? Buddist? Muslim? Just because Christianity is common doesn't make it right. Our country's problems don't lie in the fact that everyone's morals are going to pot, but thatno one really cares about anyone except for their own personal interests, values and points of view. I remember reading that Christ said "Love thy neighbor as thyself," not "Love thy neighbor as thyself unless he be different than you."

What this country needs is some unity and understanding, not preaching and hate-sowing moralizing. Our founding fathers wanted life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now some want to take that away from those of us who don't fit the mold in the name of "family values" — George Washington is probably turning in his grave. —

UCO student

Why isn't there a fall graduation?

lease note, before I begin,

that this is not a complaint; I would merely like to ask the "powers that be" a question. My question is as follows: Why is there no commencement ceremony for students graduating in the fall? I imagine there ja a reason for this; I simply don't know what it is.

As you might imagine, I am scheduled to graduate upon the completion of this semester (God and my professors willing). When I received my approved application for graduation in the mail last week I was so excited! Then, I noticed at the bottom of the form that my commencement date/time was May of 1993. I cried.

I realize that this letter will not result in UCO' s policy of not holding a commencement ceremony in the fall to be changed, but I hope to at least cause some of the members of the UCO administration to question this policy in their minds. —Staci L. Bobbitt UCO student

Seattle sound scores yet again By Kathy Jo Karr • Entertainment Editor

The spiffiest soundtrack to grace the airwaves since "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is the recent release of the "Singles" soundtrack, a powerhouse combination of the greatest rock talent around. Set against the backdrop of damp Seattle, the film features, of course, the latest bands riding the crest of the recent Seattle wave. Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone all make appearances on the disc.

"Would?", a song thrown in your face by Alice In Chains, blasts out of the speakers with a typical Alice-like ambience. Dark and powerful, smooth and ominous, the tune kicks off the "Singles" disc with a bang.

Music Review AOR divas and Seattle natives Ann and Nancy Wilson, usually of Heart but in this case claiming the name Lovemongers, cover Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore." Older sis Ann has often made clear her devotion to Robert Plant, and

the vegetation influence comes through loud and clear in this faithful reading of the acoustic ballad.

Pearl Jam, current gods of the Seattle scene, appear in the film and contribute two songs to the The catchiest tune, though, comes from a Minneapolis native. "Dyslexic Heart," which insinuates itself into your brain, is written and performed by former Replacements front-man Paul Westerberg. The song offers love-weary lyrics and a sing-along chorus, which director Cameron Crowe used to help the film flow. Also appearing on the sound-

track is Soundgarden's Chris Cornell with a solo tune, Jimi Hendrix's "May This Be Love," and offerings from the Screaming Trees and Smashing Pumpkins. All in all, a great package put

together by producers Danny Bramson and Cameron Crowe. A variety of music from basically the same town, the "Singles" soundtrack gives a perfect overview and feel for Seattle and its music.

`La Mancha' opens tonight The University of Central Oklahoma Music Theatre will present the musical "Man of La Mancha," directed by former UCO assistant professor of music Tamara Long and produced by Carveth Osterhaus. Long, who performed the role of Aldonza in a touring production of "Man of La Mancha," has performed over 3,000 times on Broad-

Theatre Preview way. Osterhaus is an assistant professor of oral communication at UCO. The show will be presented at 8 p.m. October 8 through October 10, at 2 p.m. October 11 and at 8 p.m. October 23 through October 24 at 8 p.m. in the Mitchell Hall Theatre.

Sculptor doesn't loaf at story time Teri Harzheim

Student Writer His hands shape little ovals of clay in colors of red, brown, white and black. He dips into a jar of Vaseline every time he handles the clay. He rolls the clay in his hand. It's soft and malleable like bread dough. In his hands, the clay takes the shape of the little Indian boy Mowgli from "The Jungle Book." Nick Xu Yi, a 32-year-old Chinese student at the University of Central Oklahoma, is a sculptor in the ancient art of dough molding, better known as miniature sculpture. Xu came to UCO from Beijing to study computer science, but changed his mind to a degree in visual arts. His decision to change his degree came from his desire to teach others about miniature sculpture. "I want to use art form to tell a story of human history," Xu said. As he rolls the brown clay into shape, Xu explains that the dough is really good material for sculpture. Soft and easy to make, the clay made out of flour, water, salt and honey is not dangerous in long term exposure as is regular clay. There is also no firing as the clay dries.

Eyes twinkling, he recounts cash selling his figures for about the history of his skills.

Student Writer Stock exists for pork-bellies, wheat and IBM. Now on the University of Central Oklahoma campus, there is stock for each candidate in the presidential race. In the intermediate finance classes of Instructor Stephen Black, the students were sold 300 shares of each candidate to be traded among themselves. "The students are selling and buying stock of the candidates and using their own money to buy it," Black said. On Oct. 1, stock pnces were Clinton 50 cents, Bush 42 cents, and other 8 cents. On Oct. 2, stock prices were Clinton 42 cents, Bush 40 cents and other 15 cents.

Other is now considered to be Perot since he officially entered the race Oct. 1, Black said. The reason for the increase in Perot stock is due to his entering the race and the students feel he will do well in the three debates, he said. "The University of Michigan and the University of Iowa have done this before and their prices were actually closer to the percentage of the poll at the time

of the election," Black said. The University of Iowa is currently doing a statewide stock sale and has licensed it with the Securities and Exchange Commission, he said. The SEC is the governmental body that regulates trading and enforces trading laws.

Debate involving debates sees finale WASHINGTON (AP) — Presidential campaign debates between George Bush and Bill Clinton are scheduled to begin next Sunday night in St. Louis. Independent candidate Ross Perot was invited to participate and will attend, his spokesman said. The announcement on Saturday set a compressed, nine-

day timetable for the three presidential encounters and one vice presidential debate — a series of confrontations with the potential for shaking up the race for the White House. Each debate will be 90 minutes long, take place before a live audience and be open to all subjects. A variety of formats will be employed.

The presidential debates will be Oct. 11 in St. Louis, Oct. 15 in Richmond, Va., and Oct. 19 in East Lansing, Mich., according to the joint statement by Robert Teeter and Mickey Kantor, chairmen of the Republican and Democratic campaigns. The vice presidential debate was set for Oct. 13 in Atlanta.

Volleyball players attack record book By Justin Harper Sports Editor Central Oklahoma's volleyball team struggled to a 1-3 record in last Saturday's tough Missouri Western Tournament, but improved team play and several stellar performances by key players have the Lady Bronchos optimistic. "We really didn't play all that bad last week but just ran up against some good teams," said UCO coach Mark Herin. "We're still making progress and the girls are battling hard, but we're not good enough to just go out and beat anybody without a struggle. But we keep getting better and that's what you like to see." Amy Parten was named the Lone Star player of the week and put forth a great tournament per-

formance in what has become the norm for her. The senior outside hitter committed just 10 errors in 96 attacks and had an attack percentage of .427 in the tourney. Parten also added a whopping 51 kills and seven aces over the weekend. Parton needs 204 more kills this season to break her own UCO single-season record of 507. Kristin Vincent had a milestone tournament as well. The junior from Arlington, Texas surpassed Heather Devine as the Lady Bronchos all-time leader in assisted blocks upping her total to 249. Vincent, in all likelihood, will become the career leader in solo blocks in the coming weeks, needing just 12 more rejections to overtake Devine in that category. Outside hitter Carrie Peters continued to rack-up impressive numbers last weekend as she

blasted 44 kills and had only ten errors in 90 attacks. Rachel Price, another Lady Broncho closing in on the UCO record books, lofted 136 assists over a four match span last week. The Edmond junior now ranks third on the UCO single-season record list, and needs 217 more to move into second place. With 408 more assists this season Price would surpass Shawna Clark's 1,165 1990 single-season record. However, Price went out last week with a knee injury and is questionable for this week. The Lady Bronchos boasted a 13-8 record going into Tuesday's match with intra state rival Cameron. UCO will now travel to Plainview, Texas to play Wayland Baptist tomorrow then stay on the road to do battle with Eastern New Mexico on Saturday.

Biology dept. gets new lab equipment

TA RO A , 0 1 MMAR IBOR LIVE BUX@ ATIMES B ENE I D Ev1cr Ma G 1A N

By Will Andrews Student Writer

The University of Central Oklahoma will have a new addition to the Biology department next spring. The department will receive a new spectrophotometer. The National Science Foundation has approved $6,724 for the equipment which will "study the spectral qualites of biologic molecules," said Dr. Jim Bidlack, assistant biology professor. The remaining $8,248 will be paid out of the university's funds. The NSF will require progress reports on the program, and Bidlack hopes that successful reports will "open the door" for future funding from the foundation. The department is presently using a 26-year-old spectrophotometer that is less accurate than the new one. The old one measured to the first decimal place, and the new one will measure to the fifth decimal place, he said. Bidlack said the new $14,972 system will be harder to use, but will make it easier for students to find jobs after graduation. Bidlack said that almost any interview will include questions about using a spectrophotometer. He said he hopes knowledge of the new system will keep prospective employees from "getting laughed at" because of the outdated equipment they learned to operate while in school Additionally, the system will be connected to a microcomputer that will provide easier to understand displays of data "that students wouldn't normally have time to work out."

Women's club offers students scholarships By Bill Hamilton Student Writer
