Today in History
By The Associated Press
Today is Monday, March 1, the 60lh
day of 1993. There are 305 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 1, 1932 the infant son of
Charles and Anne Lindbergh was
kidnapped from the family’s home
near Hopewell, N.J. (Remains identi-
fied as those of the baby were found
the following May.)
On this date:
In 1781, the Continental Congress
adopted the Articles of Confederation.
In 1790, Congress authorized the
first U.S. Census.
In 1864, Rebecca Lee became the
first black woman to receive a medical
degree, from the New England Female
Medical College in Boston.
In 1867, Nebraska became the 37th
state.
In 1872, Congress authorized crea-
tion of Yellowstone National Park.
In 1940, "Native Son” by Richard
Wright was first published.
In 1954, armed Puerto Rican
nationalists, firing wildly from the
gallery of the U.S. House of Represen-
tatives, wounded five congressmen.
In 1961, President Kennedy estab-
lished the Peace Corps.
In 1967, U.S. Rep. Adam Clayton
Powell of New York, accused of
misconduct, was denied his seat in the
90th Congress. (The U.S. Supreme
Court ruled in 1969 that Powell had to
be seated.)
In 1981, Irish Republican Army
member Bobby Sands began a hunger
strike at the Maze Prison in Northern
Ireland; he died 65 days later.
Ten years ago: President and Mrs.
Reagan treated Britain's Queen
Elizabeth II and Prince Philip to a
Mexican lunch at the president’s Cali-
fornia ranch. A freak tornado tore
through downtown Los Angeles,
injuring 33 people; another twister
touched down in Pasadena.
Five years ago: President Reagan
arrived in Brussels, Belgium for the
first NATO summit in six years. Iraq
said it had fired 16 missiles into
Tehran in the first long-range rocket
attack on the Iranian capital since the
Iran-Iraq war began.
One year ago: Sen. Brock Adams
abandoned his re-election campaign
after eight women accused him in a
Seattle Times report of sexual abuse
and harassment.

Shore is 76. Former astronaut Donald
"Deke” Slayton is 69. Former NFL
Commissioner Pete Rozelle is 67.

Actor Robert Conrad is 58. Author
Judith Rossner is 58. Actor Dirk Bene-
dict is 49. Sen. John Breaux, D-La., is

Thought for Today: “The punctua-
tion of anniversaries is terrible, like the
closing of doors, one after another
between you and what you want to
hold on to.” — Anne Morrow Lind-
bergh (1907-), from her diary entry on
the first anniversary of her son’s
kidnapping.

Activities keep Sapulpan young, fit
By KATHLEEN WALLACE
Lifestyles Editor
Beulah Burth likes the activities her
nursing home provides. She especially
likes to ride the van which picks up her
and others on Mondays.
“We go for a ride, to the park, the
skating rink, zoo — different places,”
she said. “I especially like going to the
zoo to see the bears in the wintertime.”
Burth was bem in Kollston, in east-
ern Oklahoma, and moved to Creek
County when she was 6 years old. She
finished grade school and high school
at Oakridge.
She went on to attend and graduate
from Langston College. She majored
in primary education and minored in
physical education. At age 85 she
keeps fit and trim by exercising in
front of an open window at Northside
Nursing Home every morning.
After college she taught at Newby
and then first and second grade at
Slick. “I taught 15 years before I
married and while I was married,” she
said.
While teaching school, Beulah also
coached a girls basketball team.
“It was coming into existence at the
time,” she said “We won a lot of
games.”

YOUR NEIGHBOR
Her husband, James, was employed
as a bellboy at a hotel in Tulsa.
During World War II Beulah and
James lived at Slick. James enlisted
and served during the war in Germany
under General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
in the infantry.
Beulah worked at Douglas Aircraft
during the war.
When James returned from the
service the couple lived in Tulsa for
three months before moving to
Oakland, Calif. There she worked as a
leader with the Girl Scouts. James
worked for the Southern Pacific Rail-
road and a watch repair shop.
She also worked as a cashier with
the Recreation Department during the
summer.
They lived in California for over 40
years. After James’ death, she moved
to Washington, D.C., to take care of
her older sister, .
“I’m tired of big cities,” she said. “I
love to get out and walk, to see the sun
rise is something else.”
Beulah is a member of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church. “I like it for the
warm fellowship,” she said.
She has many of her family
members still living. One sister lives in
Washington, D.C., one in Sapulpa and
a brother lives in Beggs.

Product researcher stalks shoppers
TULSA (AP) — When Roberta
Cunningham talks, corporate America
listens.
To get there:
—Cunningham walked door to door
in Ponca City asking residents if they
used condoms, and why.
—She convinced Tulsans to sip
cappuccino, try a new laxative, munch
low-fat chips and spit into a sack.
—She, inadvertently, had her
researchers mistaken by an irate pimp
as hookers interloping on his prime
street comers.
Ms. Cunningham is founder and
owner of Cunningham Market &
Research Field Services, Inc., a Tulsa-
based research firm that test markets
consumer products and other items,
including politicians, TV personali-
ties, radio formats and even court
juries.
Ms. Cunningham’s quarry is John
Q. Public. Her most consistent sulk-
ing ground these days is the malls of
America.
"It is simply the place where you
get the mainstream,” she said. “You
get it fast and you get it coming and
going.”
Students agree to
modest tuition hike
NORMAN (AP) — Oklahoma’s
college student associations say they
can support about half the tuition
increase being considered by state
regents, but only if regents try to lessen
the financial impact on students.
Student leaders typically either
agree or disagree with the tuition prop-
osals of the state Regents for Higher
Education. Meeting Sunday in
Norman, students representing
240,000 of their peers in the state
presented their own tuition plan — and
said what they wanted in return.
“We want the Legislature and
regents to address our proposals,”
said Bryan Begley, chairman of the
statewide Oklahoma Student Govern-
ment Association.
The association said it would
support 5- to 6-percent tuition
increases over the next two years, if
the sute Legislature limits cuts to
higher education funding to 3 percent
or less.
Student leaders said their support
also is contingent on increases in scho-
'arships and grants, discontinuance of
a student assessment fee, and promises
that tuition revenue be channeled into
“student-oriented items,” including
library books, computers and
laboratories.
Slate regents hold a public hearing
March 24 on a proposal to raise tuition
by 10 percent in each of the next two
school years, and by smaller amounts
each year after that until 2000.
Regents say the tuition increase for
next year would let stale colleges
scrape by despite the state’s budget
problems. Those problems have led
Gov. David Walters to propose 9
percent cuts for slate agencies, includ-
ing higher education.
Walters’ problems worst
in history, lawmakers say
TULSA (AP) — Two Democrats
with a combined 68 years in the sute
Legislature say Gov. David Walters’
troubles outdo those of any governor
in their experience, including
convicted Gov. David Hall.
“This is the biggest mess I’ve ever
seen,” said Sea Gene Stipe, a
McAlester Democrat who has served
under 11 governors in his 45 years in
the Legislature.
“I'venever seen anything quite this
bad,” said Rep. Howard Coiner, who
has served 23 years in the House.
The Tulsa World's Capitol tareau
reported their comments.
The multicounty grand jury is
investigating Walters’ 1990 campaign
finances. As of Friday, seven people
connected to Walters' campaign or
administration have been indicted; six
have pleaded guilty.
Hall, elected in 1970, was indicted
the day he left office and later sent to
prison for extorting bribes. Several
members of his administration w ere
indicted as well, although many of the
indictments were dismissed.
“It didn’t seem quite as bad then,”
Comer said. “They (the Hall admi-
nistration) dufci’t get in trouble until
his last year."

community.
Also, the two groups will exchange
faculty members. The agreement is for.
three years and was initiated by Smith,
through the inatinile.
It is that land of accomplishment.

young adults need to aspire to.
“And die is an inspiration,” he —id
Ms. Cunningham’s five-year-old
mal 1 -centered company is in the top 10
of field research firms in the country.
Last year, she grossed $5 million,
more than double the previous year.
That’s not bad, she noted, for a
homemaker with no college degree
who moved 15 times in her married
life to follow her husband's career as a
K man manager.
She began walking door to door
with questionnaires in Chattanooga,
Tenn. She was helping out a friend
who had a small marketing company.
“It got my adrenaline going. I
Amber

Love Mom, Tracy,

decided I could do it for myself,” she
said.
Today she has mall research sites in
13 locations ranging from Freehold,
N.J., to Los Angeles. Her employees,
including her husband, Paul, and two
sons, number 250.
