The Student Voice Since 1903
Better flight than fight, teaches selfdefense seminar By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer A Murdaugh Hall resident,and former police officer taught UCO men and women how to defend themselves from ,an attacker in the Women's SelfDefense Seminar Oct. 3 in West Hall's lobby. Date rape and assault are rising crimes on college campuses, said Rhonda Dyer, forensic science major and a second-degree black belt holder in tae kwon do. Dyer taught the participants how to kick, punch and twist their way out of an attacker's
grasp. She also stressed the most important defense manueverrun away. Dyer insisted that "no matter how small you are, if you know the techniques, you can take down your opponent." Michael Drummond, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds, said, "I figured they could show me something I didn't know—I have learned how to not be a target." "Anything can be used as a weapon, ladies," said Dyer. Most women's purses contain several weapons, she said. For example, pens, the glass from a UCO student Rhonda Dyer teaches other students helpful self-defense techniques. The Oct, 3 Women's Self- Defense seminar was sponsored by the West Hall Resident Assistant Program. (Staff V See DEFENSE, Page 5 photo by Bill Wilkinson)
Professors' visit spurs discussion of Mexican politics By Susan Reger Staff Writer Informal student lectures, indepth political discussions, luncheons and city tours were the agenda for two visiting Mexican political science professors who visited with UCO students and faculty as part of the sister university exchange program. Juan de Dios Andrade, chairperson of the political science department in Mexico, and Rodolfo Rivera arrived Oct.
1 from UCO's sister university, Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estado Puebla in Pueblo, Mexico for a weeklong visit. The visit gave students and faculty the chance to deepen their knowledge of the Mexican political system, said Bill Olson, assistant professor of political science. Reggie Williams, a political science major, interpreted for the professors when required during animated debate and exchange. Rivera said he believes the Mexican revolution in 1910 was the first democratically- oriented
revolution in the 20th century, a revolt that set a precedent for other countries. However, Rivera added that he believes the revolution was somewhat Of a legend. "Mexico was not totally democratized," said Rivera. "Democracy occurred in certain groups only and those who sympathized with those groups." Andrade said Mexico, China and Russia were all heavily influenced at the beginning of the century by the literary works of Hindu writer Manabendra Nath Roy who called for the
creation of a controlling oneparty system. Today, the Mexican political system is in transition as the Mexican government strives for more people participation, said Andrade. A central issue to current Mexican politics today surrounds the recent assassinations of three major Mexican leaders between 1993 and 1994 and the Chiapas peasant rebellion in the Yucatan Peninsula, which has created a tumultuous atmosphere in Mexico. Andrade said these events
occurred during a time when the Mexican government wanted to show stability to international investors. The present leadership in Mexico is the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which is supported by the dominant political group as well as large segments of the population who traditionally placed their hopes on this party. However, Andrade said other parties are emerging as some people have either defected or V See VISITORS, Page 5

ove over Barnum & Bailey's, O.J. Simpson's "Trial of the Century" is now "The Greatest Show on Earth."
Starring— Judge Lance Ito as "The Brave Lion Tamer" The defense as "The Fearless Flying Simpson Brothers." The prosecution as "The Bumbling Balloon Blowing Clowns." The media/cameramen as 'The Death Defying High Wire Act." And YOU, the United States, as "The Awe-Struck Audience," sitting on the edge of your seat. Whether you consider O.J. Simpson guilty or innocent, whether you consider the prosecution to have blown the case, or whether you think the defense won a triumphant victory, the case is now over. The spotlight has dimmed on the three-ring circus, and now the media extravaganza will be moving to a city near you. Get your tickets now. Before society considers O.J. a hero, people should not forget the fact that two people have been viciously murdered, and that even though Simpson was found not guilty, he was convicted as a wifebatterer. The parents of the victims feel that the man who murdered their children is now free to walk the street. Above all, two children have to be sent back to the man whom the grandparents believe have killed the children's mother. Everyone involved in the situation has had their lives turned upside down. Looming in the near future are the Oklahoma City bombing trial and the trials of Susan Smith and the Menendez brothers, all of which are top contenders vying for the dubious honor of being the next "Greatest Show on Earth." Let's hope all of us understand that this crime was committed by very evil, sick and disturbed individual(s) who were trying to make a political statement. They were not trying to boost the advertising sales of CNN and COURTTV, or the sales of "Timothy McVeigh is guilty/innocent" T-shirts and "Honk for the Victims" bumper stickers.

powder compact and anything plastic such as an audio tape or calculator can be broken and used as a weapon. Dyer also suggested wrapping one's purse strap around the fist
so that one can use it as a weapon. "The most important part of self-defense is not to be a victim," said Dyer. "Any time you're out, don't be alone," she said. "If you are alone, keep your head up, eyes
moving, ears open and know what and who is around you." Dyer suggested that anytime you pass someone (especially at night), always say hello and make eye contact with him or her. "If they are a rapist, they will
not victimize you because they don't want to be recognized," she said. Dyer said people who are quiet, bashful and shy are most likely to be a victim. "If you're walking down the street with your head down, not
paying attention, you're an easy target," she said. "I can teach them (the students) all the self-defense in the world, but if they're going to put themselves in a position to be a victim, it's not going to do them any good."
political office at the time of the assassination of candidate Donaldo Colosio, who was handpicked for office by the previous president, Carlos Salinas. "Zedillo's enemies criticize the president for having no plan for government," said Rivera. "Zedillo was simply the next most eligible candidate." The Mexican people hunger for a better economy and stability, said Rivera. Inflation, recession, depression, recent violence, insecurity and unemployment are major problems. Andrade said the three-day Chiapus revolution was a frustrated attempt by Mayan Indian rebels, who seized five cities in the state of Chiapus in an effort to draw attention to
their desire for better living conditions and representation in government. "The peasant rebellion was designed to take place at a time when the Mexican government was in the limelight," said Andrade. However, Andrade said he believes the rebellion was orchestrated by disenchanted members of the PRI who opposed the Salinas-Colosio program for Mexican economic development. "The violence concerned some international investors and the effect of the rebellion is still being debated." Rivera said the students back home are very interested in the study of political systems and the influence of the United States on Mexico.
Most of the students in Pueblo have career goals in social services, such as academic professions, public administration and political parties. Rivera said he believes the best way to help people in his country is through education. "Many professors at the university do not receive payment and volunteer some of their time to teach," he said. Because of this, tuition at the university is low. Rivera said he admired the Americans' sense of selfdetermination and independence. "In Mexico, this is difficult because the people are accustomed to the government making decisions for them, which creates a mindset of dependence," said Rivera.
"In America, congress acts as a watchdog while in Mexico, congress is dominated by the president." Rivera said Mexico's ultimate goal is to help realize democratic changes in the hope that such a political model can be in place by the year 2000. Both professors said they hoped fOr more interaction between UCO and their, university. "The world today is more integrated as our problems become your problems and your problems become ours," said Andrade. "If we don't learn to solve our problems together, no one else will."

have had differences with the PRI. Although some voters are intimidated by the PRI at election times, the middle clas and some poor people are looking for alternatives. "Many poor have no party at all because of ignorance," said Andrade. Rivera said although Mexico faced violent times during the period of the assassinations, violence is not common in general. "An ongoing problem, however, is corruption of the voting process," he said. Rivera said today's Mexican president, Ernesto Zedillo, who has held office since 1994, was not actually a candidate for

Sperm has more uses than procreation
m
By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer
any beauty products on the market today contain ingredients such as protein, vitamins and alpha hydroxyl acid. These ingredients are supposed to make the hair shine, the skin smooth and the nails strong. Now, a pharmaceutical company, Kevis of Beverly Hills, California, have gone one step further—they are adding male sperm to their products. And just in case you're wondering—the sperm is now
cloned in the laboratory from hyaluronic acid. Many Hollywood stars are using the products. This shouldn't surprise anyone in Oklahoma. The first product Kevis put on the market was a sperm based shampoo for dry hair and scalp problems. According to Brian Reichenberg, general manager of Kevis, the main cause of all hair problems in both male and female, is the male hormone testosterone that makes the hair dry and brittle. After several
uses, the shampoo removes the testosterone from the hair—oh boy! Users of the shampoo soon found that it had another benefit. It made their nails grow faster, thicker and harder. The company has now come up with a nail gel that combines the sperm formula with Mucopolysaccharides, a protein derived from sugar to strengthen the nail and fight most nail fungus problems. The water-based gel is rubbed into the nail twice a day, penetrating the cuticle and
feeding the nail matrix, promoting healthy growth. The company's newest product, is to be out on the market next week, is an anti wrinkle gel. Apparently the molecules in hyaluronic acid draw 1,000 times its weight in water into the cell. This causes the dry wrinkled skin to rehydrate, making it smooth and soft—what will they think about next? For females, the toll free number for ordering the products is 1-800-245-HAIR.

Blood and more: Not such a gory experience after all By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer If you've always been afraid to donate blood, a 17 year-old theater arts major may help you put your fears to rest as he gives blood for the first time Oct. 4 at the UCO blood drive. Because Jonathan Siler attended high school in Germany, he said he never had the opportunity to donate blood. "Now that I found out I could (donate blood), I feel like I'm doing something good," he said. With his curly red locks pulled tightly back in a ponytail, the lanky young man walked coolly into the University Center Dining Room, prepared to hand over a pint of his blood. The near-empty room with an expansive ceiling and a cold wooden floor may seem intimidating to a first-time donor. "I was really nervous earlier," he said. "I'm still kinda jittery." He signed in and awaited further instructions from the white-haired woman who volunteered to handle paperwork for the Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) "You don't have to do it if you
don't want to," she said to a woman who looked nervous. "We don't want to force you to do anything you don't want to do." Siler proceeded to complete several pages of personal information and reviewed the pages that outlined who cannot be a blood donor. His next step was having his vital signs checked. Siler's nervousness was quite apparent when the thermometer quivered in his mouth. The next stop was to confirm his confidential information and have his blood tested for iron content by pricking the tip of his finger. Here's the part that scares most people: actually giving the blood. Five long, metal tables are positioned in the far corner of the room. Siler laid down on the padded table and Doris Jones, a phlebotomist with the OBI rolled up Siler's sleeve. "I'm kind of nervous about needles," he said. "But I can handleit." The nurse doused his arm with iodine and they talked and laughed.
Siler winced as the needle went into his arm. "It only hurts for a second," he said. "It's like whenever you get a shot at the doctor's office." "I felt it when it first went in, then I couldn't feel it at all," he said. Squeezing a soft toy Jones gave him, Slier stared intently at the ceiling. The needle was in his arm for '10 minutes. "Normally it takes only five minutes, but his veins are pretty small," said Jones. Lying on the table next to him, UCO student Frank Page gave advice to the first-timer. "One day you might make a withdrawal—you need to make a deposit now," he said The whole procedure took less than an hour, from beginning to end. "In all honesty, you're helping three people when you donate one pint of blood," said Jones. She said the blood is later separated into red blood cells, platelets and plasma. Unfortunately, Siler's blood will not be able to save a life. His blood is not usable because he didn't produce an entire pint. The bags holding the blood

contain a pre-measured amount of anticoagulant (a solution which keeps the blood from clotting), said Jones. If a donor does not produce an entire pint, there is a higher concentration of anticoagulant and the blood is useless, she said. "I'm a little sad because I wasn't able to have my blood used, but at least I tried," he said. He said that won't stop him from trying again. He'll be able to donate again in 56 days. "Next time they come around, I'd like to give it a shot again."
Siler's advice to a first-time donor who may be a little nervous: •Go when it's not busy or visit the blood center where it may not be as crowded as a blood drive, he said. •Don't hesitate to ask those working the blood drive any questions. ""They were very up front telling me exactly what they were doing," he said. "It wasn't bad at all," said Siler. "Everyone should do it, at least to find out if they like it or not."

MOVIE REVIEW Ratings are based on a five star scale. Five is the best possible rating and one is the least.
To Die For something we can live without
I
f I wasn't required to sit through To Die For, for this review, I would have left the theater 30 minutes into the film.
Rating To Die For is a recently released movie starring Nicole Kidman, Matt Dillon and Joaquin Phoenix. The movie is about a ditzy, shallow, slightly deranged woman named Suzanne Stone (Kidman) who is obsessed with getting on television, no matter what the cost. After watching the previews
for the movie, I was expecting something along the lines of Natural Born Killers, but in a less tripped-out way. Unfortunately, the storytelling tactics used in the movie ruined an otherwise usable script. Most the movie takes place after the events have already happened via a series of flashbacks from the people involved and their families. Flashbacks ruin the surprise in the movie and when 8 to 10 people are telling the same story, some aspects are bound to overlap. For example, in the opening scenes they show the dead husband (Matt Dillon), so the
audience knows how the movie is going to turn out—no surprise, no tension. The parents of the newlyweds are on a talk show, telling their side of the story, a sister is telling her side, the kids Suzanne hired to kill her husband are telling their side and Suzanne herself is taping her side of the story in her living room. The kids Suzanne hired as hitmen rank the lowest on the evolutionary scale—they are incredibly slow hoodlums who have no clue what's going on. They provide the only source of comic relief that is spread paper-thin throughout the movie. From there till the end, the
movie unravels just as anyone would expect, since the majority of the movie is already given away in the beginning. At the end, the interviews abruptly come to a close and Suzanne Stone disappears. Then, in a failed attempt at a plot twist we find out what happens to her—another disappointment. Overall, the acting in the movie was one notch above mediocre. The lower-class degenerates—these bumbling hitmen—display the best acting skills. Nicole Kidman plays the role of a woman with no sense
whatsoever pretty well, but I was expecting a little more conviction. Kidman, with her bad makeup and cheesy outfits, parades and flaunts around so often overdoses on too much of her. To Die For was a huge disappointment The interrupting flashbacks and the relatively weak script makes for a dull movie that the audience can't get into.

Class scrutinizes face of American presidency By Susan Reger Staff Writer
Some Americans today view the presidency as the embodiment of all expectations for the future. "This is a very difficult expectation for any president to meet with our present system of balance of powers," said Bill Olson, UCO professor of political science. "The president is caught between public expectations that he can and should be able to accomplish anything," said Olson. "In reality, the power of the president to do everything is limited by our separation of powers system of government." Olson, who teaches the course "The Presidency," said he believes it is important that the United States has strong central leadership because of its prominent role in world crisis situations. Winston Churchill once said, "democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others." "The theory of American democratic government works for the use of minimum power
necessary to maintain political order while working to guarantee maximum freedom for individuals," said Olson. "Therefore, a democratic government moves slowly, everyone has a voice, and conflict is avoided to some degree." Olson said a well-run dictatorship may get policies passed quickly and efficiently, but the expense is the freedom of the people. "The Presidency" class explores the office of the presidency, not the personalities of the various presidents, said Olson. Current presidential politics, presidential models, concepts of power, long term effects of presidents and polls and campaigns are the central issues discussed in the class. Olson said the president and Congress today are locked in battle largely over issues that will control the 1996 presidential election, which is typical of American politics. "The opposing party tries to control the issue agenda to use in the next election and the resident tries to maintain and strengthen his own agenda."
UNQUC
The theory of American democratic government works for the use of minimum power necessary to maintain political order while working to guarantee maximum freedom for individuals. —Bill Olson professor of political science
The disadvantages to this system is that in the 1990s when we need domestic legislation for general welfare and legislations that addresses problems caused by the total national debt, the country is in gridlock as the two parties stand in opposition to each other, said Olson. The cost and impact of gridlock will be born by the average Anierican citizen, he said. "The advantages to this system are more long term as the republicans are getting the opportunity to experience the problems of leadership," said Olson. "Rather than being strictly a
minority opposition party, they are now in a position of forming American policy." Another advantage is that the democrats are being forced to reevaluate past policies and develop policy agenda for the latter part of this century and into the 21st century. "So, in the short term, the United States faces inactivity and chaos, and in the long run it is possible a workable agenda for American social welfare could result," he said. Olson said an effective president commands at least 50 percent approval by Americans on how well the job is done. "The president must know how to work with the media," said Olson. "The president must take initiative with the media, present programs clearly and defend positions of his programs." "One problem with Clinton's agenda is that times are more difficult in the 1990s than during previous presidencies, with a republican-controlled congress whose objectives are much different," said Olson. Olson said he believed the questions Americans face today have greater impact such as
whether to maintain or downsize government, the personal impact of those decisions and whether to delegate primary responsibilWes of national programs to state governments. "The ultimate implication of delegating power for national programs to state governments would be a return to a Confederation form of government, which the framers of the Constitution rejected as unworkable for administering to a country the size of the United States," he said. Olson said shifting national programs to individual states would mean great differences in the manner policies are implemented on a state by state basis. A review of the long-term effect of presidents since the Kennedy administration gives students an overview of why America is in the state it is in today. The class explored the outcomes and effects of civil rights legislation, social programs, the Vietnam War, presidential impeachment and national debt.

By Nicki Cormier If your reading assignments this semester seem endless and you're having trouble improving your academic performance, UCO's reading department has just the course for you. Developmental Reading 2302, a two-credit-hour course, is designed to improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling efficiency and the reading rate. It is being offered 11:40 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday from Oct. 17 through Dec. 15. "This developmental reading course is not just for people who have low skills;---we have a lot of students who want to learn speed reading," said Dr. Mary Montfort, professor of curriculum and instruction. The class is self-paced, students work at their own level and are not compared to anyone else in the class, Montfort said. It's up to the students to work at getting what they want out of the class. If they want vocabulary growth or better comprehension skills,, the course will definitely help them, she said "We have several computer programs as well as many computers in our labs to help the student with those aspects," Montford said. For more information, call the reading clinic at 341-2980, Ext. 5711.
"You can have up to four or five people in the video," said Mandi Caldwell, president of the University Center Activities Board (UCAB). Wanna-be rock stars can choose from many backgrounds—from motorcycles to water skis, said Caldwell.

UCO downs ACU By Scott Moore Sports Writer Central Oklahoma defeated Abilene Christian University. 13-7 Saturday night in Abilene, Texas. The Bronchos up their overall record to 5-1 on the year and 1-1 in the Lone Star Conference. Those are positive numbers. The win marked the first time ever that UCO had beaten Abilene Christian at Shotwell Stadium in six tries. UCO now owns a two-game winning streak over the 2-4 (0-2 in the LSC) Wildcats. These are also positive numbers. The win also marked the first Lone Star Conference road victory for UCO since a 35-13 victory over Eastern New Mexico in 1992. This is a positive. Through six games, the Broncho defense is still holding their opponents under 100 yards rushing per games, giving up just 88.8 yards. Overall, the Broncho defense is holding their opponents to 238.8 yards per game. The Bronchos also have a turnover ratio of +10 These are definitely positive numbers. The Bronchos have started each of the past four seasons with a 4-0 mark. Last year, UCO went 6-0 before losing to Texas A&M-

Bronchos split two on road •
Defense saves UCO By Scott Moore Sports Writer Former Oklahoma University head football coach Barry Switzer once said, "Offense gets all the headlines but defense wins games." Part of that quote could apply to the Central Oklahoma football team in Saturday's 13-7 triumph over struggling Abilene Christian in Abilene, Texas. The Broncho defense forced four Wildcat turnovers, including three interceptions. Brandon Carder intercepted an Abilene Christian pass at the UCO 3-yard line in the second quarter and Hurley Tarver intercepted another ACU pass at the UCO 10 as the first half ended.
UCO's Brad Dunlap picked off a pass at the UCO 30 to end a Wildcat drive vvitly4:44 left in the game and ACU trailing 137. Then Terry Bell knocked down a pass on ACU's final possession of the game at the Wildcat 46. The defense held ACU (2-4 overall, 0-2 in LSC) to just 230 total yards. The Bronchos entered the game allowing just 239.8 yards per game. Abilene Christian's only touchdown was a gift from the Bronchos when Kenny Evans fumbled a punt and the Wildcats recovered at the Broncho 23 in the second quarter. ACU scored one play later on a pass play from Ryan Smith to Angel Alvarez to give the Wildcats a 7-3 lead which

they would hold at halftime. The Bronchos only offensive spark of the night came in the third quarter when They drove 80 yards on 13 plays to score a touchdown. Running back Zack Leonard got the score with a two-yard run and UCO went ahead 10-7 with 2:24 left in the third period after Thomas Weaver's successful extrapoint. Weaver gave the Bronchos their only points in the first half when he booted a 42-yard field to give UCO a 3-0 lead with 1:24 left in the first quarter. Weaver struck again with a 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter after a Broncho drive stalled at the Wildcat 2-yard line. That boot gave UCO a 137 lead with 14:15 remaining. 43

VICTORY Continued from page 12 numbers. This Saturday, The Bronchos will face Texas A&M-Kingsville. The Javelinas are three-time defending Lone Star Conference champions and were pre-season favorites to win it again this season. Kingsville owns an 11-1 lead in the series and has beaten the Bronchos nine straight times. These are definitely not positive numbers. The Bronchos will face Kingsville at Wantland Stadium where it will be homecoming night. Will that be enough of a positive to push the Bronchos past the Javelinas?
