UOSA Today, a twice-
a-semester bulletin, will
continue next year, but
under a different funding
arrangement.
Student Congress has
been listed to receive
$2,000 from the student
activities fee fund for the
bulletin.
Anona Adair, vice pres-
ident for Student Affairs,
said last year the money
for the bulletin came from
Student Affairs budget.
“So this year 1 thought I’d
see i. —-
come from the student ac-
tivities fee fund,” she
said.

informs students of ser-

the typing service in the

Winter said the bulletin
also tells students ot spe-

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The state Su-
preme Court has declared public the financial
information filed with the state Department
of Human Services by nursing-homes partici-
pating in the federal Medicaid program.
The ruling was made in a lawsuit tiled last
October by The Tulsa Tribune Co. against
DHS Director Robert Fulton.
The high court upheld a ruling by Oklaho-
ma County District Judge Joe Cannon that
directed DHS to open for public inspection
cost reports filed by 362 nursing homes partic-
ipating in the Medicaid program and certain
DHS audit reports on some ot those homes.
The cost reports and audits were filed with
and maintained by DHS under federal
lions governing the Medicaid program, the.
SUKmTHbUUneSsaid the reporu should be
made public under Oklahoma s open records
'a DHS contended it had promised nursing
homes to keep the information c9|nf‘d^"t*^ •
The Oklahoma State Nursing Home Associ-
ation argued that disclosure would reveal
trade secrets, thus depriving it and its mem-
bers of property without due process.
The supreme court said that the assertion by
DHS that confidentiality was needed to obtain
the reports from nursing homes is belied by
the federal regulations requiring the reports it
nursing homes are to receive reimbursement
under the Medicaid program.
DHS also argued that the reports vvere sen-
sitive financial information <hat, under state
law might be excluded from public scrutiny.

Mosquitos regulated

The city uses malathion to kill the
mosquitos, the pesticide used to kill the
California fruit fly. . .
Nature does its share ot taking care of
the mosquito problem via the birds, f ish
and other insects who dine on the the
mosquito larvae, Thomas said.
“Nature does a pretty good job ot
controlling mosquitos,’’ he said, in
fact, mosquitos are an integral part ot
the environment.”

say L-X of recent heavy rainfall. “We prefer tor nature
didn’t have to do any fogging,
said.
Mosquitos themselves have a role to
play in environmental control. Hopla
said, since they give diseases to the ani-
mals that feed off them.
“If it wasn't tor the animal diseases
that mosquitos carry, then we might
have more birds than we would know
what to do with,” Thomas said.
As for this summer's expanding ilea
and tick population, Thomas and Hopla
only offer advice.
“Fleas and ticks are the individual s
responsiblity,” Hopla said. “The city
does its part by mowing the land it
owns.”
“It is the individual’s responsiblity to
keep his or her pet dusted, the pet’s
bedding clean and use yard application
for fleas and ticks, if necessary , Hopla
said.
Thomas advises Norman residents to
be particularly careful about the disease
rocky mountain spotted fever, which is
transmitted by licks.
Several cases of rocky mountain spot-
ted fever have been reported this year in
Oklahoma. Thomas said.

A swat patrol is prowling the city at
night this summer, flashing a light to
attract the attention of as many mosqui-
tos as possible.
If 40 or more mosquitos fall tor tne
light trap three nights in a row, city pest
controllers say it means mass extermina-
tion for the pests — death by malathion
foRginc.
Norman has already fogged once tor
mosquitos, and may have to fog again in
bad summer for mosquitos, experts
y, because of recent heavy rainfall.
However, the pests have not been too
pesky so far, Rex Thomas, w ho is charge
of the city’s mosquito surveillance pro-
gram, said. • K

Dealing with complaints is part of
Thomas’ job, along with keeping the
diVtt pu^fdations »hieh
involves explaining and educating peo-
ple about this problem,’ he said.
Thomas said most mosquito problems
are caused by carelessness. Mosquitos
consider any pool of standing water to
be a candidate home for their young.
Mosquitos have been known to take
up residence in fountains, buckets, and
tires, Thomas said.
City areas prone to heavy mosquito
infestation are the Sherwood F°rest
neighborhood and a trailer park on the
Canadian River flood plain, he said.
When logging is necessary, Thomas
said the city is careful about how much
pesticide is used, to avoid harming the
environment.
“We use such an ultra-low volume ot
the pesticide that the mosquitos can not
