University finishes first phase of construction on ropes course ■
The course is planned to be completed by summer. by Joseph Wertz Senior Staff Writer
Construction has begun on a ropes course on the southeast corner of campus. The ropes course is scheduled to open this summer and will be available to students and student organizations. Ropes courses challenge participants to use teamwork to overcome physical obstacles. The Wellness Center is operating the ropes course as part of their "UCORE" program, which focuses on outdoor programming. The campus ropes course will have both "low and high elements." The low elements are only a few feet off the ground. Participants must complete the low elements before they are allowed to attempt any high elements. The high elements require safety harnesses with much of the course suspended above the ground. "Many of the challenges are designed to help overcome certain fears," said Fred Fieth, assistant director of Recreation

Keelee Bright was crowned 'Miss UCO', winning more than $3,000 in scholarship money at the 29th Annual Scholarship Pageant Jan. 22 in Mitchell Hall. "This is one of the most
prestigious pageants in Oklahoma and has a bid each year in the Miss Oklahoma pageant," said Brooke Wilson, member of the Miss UCO Scholarship Pageant Board of Directors. Fifteen students competed for the crown. "Just for competing, they (contestants) received $100," said
Wilson. This is the first year each student has been given money because of fundraising and donations the pageant board was able to collect. "Miss UCO is a pre-qualifier to the Miss Oklahoma

The UCO Student Activity Board's first scheduled meeting of the semester was canceled Jan. 20. Lane Perry, student body president, said the meeting was canceled because no one submitted applications for SAB funds. "We have new senators every semester, and they don't always know about the paperwork," Perry said. The SAB distributes funds to student organizations each
month to cover activity expenses. Senators from student organizations must apply for the money in advance and provide information about why they need the money and what it will be used for. Perry said that the next SAB meeting is scheduled for Feb. 24. Applications for SAB fund consideration are available in the UCO Student Association office on the first floor of the Nigh University Center.

Taser use by campus police officers on rise ■
UCO Department of Public Safety is considering use of the non-lethal weapon. by Joseph Wertz Senior Staff Writer
Oklahoma College and university police departments are following a nationwide trend in law enforcement adopting "less than lethal" weapons and tactics, including the use of "Tasers." Tasers are hand-held devices similar in shape to handguns. They fire skin-piercing probes and immobilize subjects with strong electric currents. The UCO Department of Public Safety isn't currently using Tasers. "We are assessing the application of Tasers," said Jeff Harp dilector of Public Safety at UCO. "We have to assess our environment as well as budget concerns."
lasers can cost as much as $500 each, with each firing of the device costing around $25. Law enforcement officers must undergo special training to use Tasers. "Part of the training process involves firing the Taser four or five times at a target," Harp said. In addition to the target practice, police officers themselves are also shot with the taser as part of their training. The University of Oklahoma Police Department uses lasers, as well as the Oklahoma City Police Department. "We have been using Tasers for a couple of years now," said Sgt. Gary Robinson with the OUPD. "Anytime we use them we take the subject to the hospital because the barbs [probes] penetrate the skin." Pepper spray is another less than lethal tactic used by law enforcement.

OPINION
January 25, 2005
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Vista and its readers, It has come to my attention that this week has been declared by certain politically conservative minorities as "straight pride week." When members of the population majority, such as whites or straight individuals, hold rallies in support of themselves it becomes disturbing to those not represented. When members in the majority feel they need to show their dominance as the majority, frightening things happen, i.e. people in bed sheets burning crosses, fancy armbands and genocide. When minority populations conduct activities that are designed in nature
I don't know. Rehabilitate him?
to provide a positive experience, the minority populations in question experience a sense of empowerment and camaraderie. While activities such as "Gay Pride Week" do not exclude members of the population, the idea of a straight pride week appears exclusionary. Segments of the campus population would benefit from exposure to cultural diversity; therefore I am extending an invitation to the gay and lesbian community throughout the country: Please enroll at UCO, enrich our student body and make UCO the center of tolerance and inclusion in the United States.

STAFF EDITORIAL
Tasers would be a smart investment for campus cops hen a law enforcement officer is confronted with a dangerous situation warranting a weapon, the officer must use what is at their disposal, which is usually a pistol. But a new trend in law enforcement is moving into police stations around the country and enabling officers to do their job more efficiently without the possibility of a loss of life thanks to a
W
stun-gun manufactured by Taser International. The UCO Department of Public Safety is considering following the trend and arming officers with Tasers in the near future. This would be a wise move on DPS's part, even though UCO is a rather safe campus where the police blotter usually logs instances of
improperly parked cars and lost personal items. Officers must be armed, but a nonlethal alternative such as the Taser would give officers an option of temporarily disabling rather than possibly killing a violent or fleeing suspect. Opponents of weapons on campus and nationwide should rest a bit easier knowing that the trend nationwide
seems to be toward non-lethal tactics to restrain suspects. DPS does not have an exact date for introduction of the Tasers. One of the requirements for any officer to carry a Taser is that the device must be used on them. This experience should deter trigger-happy officers but still give them the means to protect themselves and
others in a heated situation. DPS is making a positive move introducing the Taser to their arsenal and the campus community should commend their decision in an effort to keep and maintain a safe campus for officers and students and faculty alike.

MIKE'S GRIPES
American media: conservative, liberal or just lazy? ver the Christmas break, about 60 students dragged themselves back to UCO for three credit hours in Dr. Mark Hanebutt's "Liberal Media" intersession. I was one of them. The idea was for us to research different elements of press theory and the way it's perceived by Americans, and prove or disprove the notion that the media as a whole pushes liberal views. So is the media "liberal" or "conservative"? I won't pretend that my esteemed colleagues and I found the ultimate answer. In fact I'm pretty sure we proved nothing concrete at all. The only thing I learned is that, in a sense, the news media is supposed to be both. We're supposed to find out what happened, and tell people about
O
MICHAEL ROBERTSON COLUMNIST it. It sounds simple right? Left, I mean, wrong. No matter how balanced a story is, a "conservative" will focus on the parts that go against his or her ideology, and a "liberal" will do the same. This is simply human nature. When a person picks a side, he or she wants his or her side to win. I suppose that since journalists are human beings, this rule
applies to them also. The problem I think, isn't a "liberal" or "conservative" media, but a "lazy" one. Last summer in Dr. Hanebutt's "The Press and Campaigns" intersession, Gary Jones and Jay Parmley, chairs of the Oklahoma Republican and Democratic parties, respectfully, shared their press strategy with the class. They said what they do is write very entertaining, action-packed press releases, accompanied by very entertaining, action-packed sound and video clips for the broadcast folks, and then feed them to journalists, who simply smile and say, "thank you." This isn't journalism, it's pandering to the entertainment dollar, and it's an
absolute scandal. Journalists, including broadcast journalists, are supposed to be watchdogs. It's all well and good if the viewers like to hear stories about the president jogging or playing with dogs, and that should be included, if that's what they want to see. But at the same time, if there are questionable policies being passed or conflicts of interest going on in the political realm, the public needs to be informed about them. "Liberal" or "conservative" should have nothing to do with it. These are meaningless labels partisan pundits apply to news that doesn't agree with what they believe in or should be true, and they've dragged the focus away from facts and onto emotional opinion.
And finally, I think it's important for us to be able to make the distinction between actual journalism and punditry An actual journalist would never accuse someone of being something so ill-defined as "conservative" or " liberal," because these terms are essentially meaningless and have nothing to do with actual events in the real world. I hate to say it, but it could be that the news media aren't the only "lazy" ones in the mix. It seems to me that by allowing themselves to be pacified by soft, entertainment-oriented "news," the public is just as much to blame as the reporters.

CAMPUS QUOTES: What wil remember most about Johnny Carson? "He was a pillar of TV. He has just always been there. I can't remember late night without him."
"I did my college homework watching Johnny Carson. We will miss him."
"He has different characterizations — all the different characters he dressed up as."
"Other than Carnac the Magnificent and funny animal skits, I will always remember him thumping the microphone and saying, "Is this thing working?" when his jokes fell flat." •

NEWS IN BRIEF Abortion foes stage protest of Roe v. Wade to mark 32nd anniversary WASHINGTON — Abortion opponents on Monday marked the 32nd anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion with a day of rallies, protests and other activities as the issue takes on new urgency with the likelihood of a high court vacancy during President Bush's term. Every anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision, prompts demonstrations by opponents and proponents of abortion rights. Activists on both sides of the abortion issue marched in demonstrations across the country Saturday, the actual anniversary of the Jan. 23 decision.

Long-time economics professor, former chair dies at age 51 by Ashlie Campbell Staff Writer A UCO economics professor passed away Jan. 4, after battling liver cancer for several months. Dr. Michael Metzger, who was 51, taught in the economics department for more than 13 years and served as chair of the department for 10 of those years. "He shaped the department and was the guiding light for the economics department as we know it today," said Dr. Joseph Johnson, chairman of the economics department. Metzger, a native Oklahoman, received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and masters degree in economics at the University of Oklahoma, and a Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University. Metzger worked as an economist for the Federal Trade Commission then at the Federal

Communications Commission both in Washington, D.C. before returning to Oklahoma to teach at UCO. "He was an unusually qualified professor for his field and he enjoyed his work" Johnson said. "He was very student oriented" said Dr. Sue L. Sasser, a colleague of Metzger's in the economics department. "(He was) the type of professor whose door was always open." While at UCO, Metzger was
the founder and director of the Oklahoma Policy Research Center. The O.P.R.C. works with the state government and public policy makers in finance in healthcare and education programs. "He stepped down from his position as chair to spend more time on the O.P.R.C." Johnson said. "It really helped engage the university with commercial affairs and off campus outreach." One of Metzger's goals for the department that he was unable to see to fruition was the addition of a masters degree program in economics. "To be true to his memory the Economics Department will have to try one again," Johnson said. "He is going to be hard to replace." Metzger is survived by his parents who live in Yukon.

On a Roll... The Bronchos extend win streak to four by Gavin D. Elliott

Joe Kennerly goes for a tip-in basket against Midwestern State.
The University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos battled top-dog, two-time defending Lone Star Conference North Division champion Tarleton State on their own wood on Saturday and commenced to wipe the floor with them. The Bronchos shocked and awed the Texans in a 59-46 rout that began in the first half and never loosened its grip until the end of the game, adding another win to the Bronchos' three game winning streak. UCO is now 12-4 overall and aperfect 2-0 in LSC North division play. Sam Belt and Deshone Henderson ignited the Bronchos' fire, with Belt adding four points and Henderson chalking up three at the 4:08 mark to bring UCO up from a slight 17-16 deficit to a 23-17 lead with 3:11 left in the first half. UCO went in at halftime with a 27-22 lead, only to have the Texans
bring the lead back down to three at the start of the second half. The Bronchos speared that comeback before it started by piling on eight unanswered points, including a threepoint play from Michael Currin and a Belt layup at the 14:46 mark, making it 35-24. The Bronchos kept TSU at arm's length. From then on, seven was as close as the Texans would get. The Bronchos shot a paltry 36:4 percent (16 of 44) from the field, just beating TSU's 31 percent (13 of 42). The Bronchos sunk 24 of their 29 free throws (82.8 percent), perhaps lending heavily to the significant division win, which ended a fivegame losing streak to Tarleton State. Both Belton and Jason Greene put up 12 points individually, helped by Henderson who added 11 and a game-high eight rebounds. Photo by Gavin D. Elliott

FROM THE NATIONAL SPORTING DESK
Tribute to a legend; doomsday drivel on the end of the NFL season; even football prophets can lose once in awhile... Since I have no flagpole or flag at my apartment, my mental flag is flying at half-staff for the passing of an icon, Johnny Carson. I have fond memories of staying up way past my bedtime, watching the Tonight Show and never really understanding the humor. But it didn't matter, because every once in awhile, Johnny would have animals on the show, and they would urinate all over the set. That, for a child at the age of seven, was as good as it got. Johnny, you will be missed. Al lright, so much for that nonsporting, secular talk. This is a sports column and we pride ourselves for knowing sports and little to nothing else. The end of January is a bittersweet time for those who buy tickets. It means it's Super Bowl time, and Super Bowl time means the end of another season. It's an impending, ominous time in which the fourth quarter acts as the executioner, severing the head of the season at the neck and the blood

bowl like lazy, jaded waitresses who've been stiffed on tips one too many times. Then, you realize it's over, and an empty void kind of feeling settles over you as you realize there's nothing to follow up a climactic Super Bowl other than NBA and NCAA basketball. Which are fine on their own accord, but couldn't carry the NFL's (foot)balls if they wanted to. I apologize. The end of the NFL season is very heavy to me. It's the only time of the •year when I feel this thing called "sentimentality," Chin up though. There's no sense in getting all doomsday yet. There's still football left to squeeze out of this season. ,
SPORTS. EDITOR flows like beer spilled in the stands, dribbling down to a cold, frothy puddle. It finally hits when you're sitting, watching the Big Game, and some of the women (or men) start consolidating the chips and dip into one bag and Tupperware
So I was wrong about the Philadelphia/Atlanta game. To be hon-
est, I was wary about that prediction anyway. My heart wasn't in it. I was blinded by the bright possibility of calling Super Bowl for the Dark Horse Falcons less than midway through the season — put all my Falcon eggs in the NFC basket and forgot to look at Philly's recurring role in the playoffs. I'd love to say Philly doesn't deserve it, but they do. They got Atlanta down and never let them back up. As a journalist, I'm trained to admit defeat where admission of defeat is warranted...then look for a loophole. My loophole is New England. In a previous column, I said the Falcons and the Eagles would be pecking it out only to see which one would get trounced by the AFC's champion. I put my marker on the Pats to trounce,

and trounce they did. The Terrible Towel-waving fans took their towels to the locker room as losers. They lost big and have no one to blame but themselves. The Patriots beat the Steelers at their own game...and beat 'em good. They left Ben Roethlisberger to his own vices and he couldn't handle the weight. Roethlisberger was 14-24 on the night with three interceptions. Come Super Bowl Sunday, I'll stick by my bet and the. Pats will come out of the fray on top and unscathed. The Eagles will hurt for what they did to my prediction. It's never safe to bet on anger or vindication, but this time at least, I think the numbers are favorable as well.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Jan. 22) — A spirited Central Oklahoma comeback fell short Saturday night as Nebraska-Kearney won the final two matches to top the Bronchos 21-15 in the consolation finals of the NWCA Division II National Duals. No. 6-rated UCO lost the first four matches, two by one point and another in overtime, falling into a 15-0 hole before roaring back to win four straight and tie it 15-all heading into the 197-pound match. The No. 2 Antelopes broke that tie with a win at 197 and used a controversial four-point move at heavyweight to win and secure the dual. "We lost some close matches early that really put us in a hole," UCO coach David James said.
"Some guys came through to get us baCk in it but we just couldn't quite get it done." The Bronchos went 3-2 in the two-day, 16-team tournament and is now 7-5 on the year. UCO returns to action next Saturday when it hosts Adams State. Jerod Goodwin started UCO's comeback with a gritty 4-2 win at 157, then No. 7-ranked Cort Petersen controlled fifth-rated Aaron Dalton 6-1 to pull the Bronchos within 15-6. Ryan Daniels continued his second-semester surge with a 5-2 win at 174 and Carson Kleinfeldt finished off the four-match streak with a third-period fall over No. 8 Caleb Young. Kleinfeldt dominated that match from the outset, piling up a 10-2 lead before scoring the fall. UCO was forced to put 174pounder Jared Hess in at 197

against defending national champion and No. 1 Jeff Sylvester due to the injury suffered early Saturday by No. 2 Kevin Lochner, with Hess battling hard in dropping a 6-0 decision. That gave LTNK an 18-15 lead heading into heavyweight, with UCO needing a win by No. 4 Josh LeadingFox over No. 5 Tervel Dlagnev to tie the dual. LeadingFox had a 2-1 lead in the final stages of the second period, but was hit with a questionable penalty point with eight seconds left and then Dlakrnev scored a controversial reverse and twopoint near-fall in the final two seconds. That gave Dlagnev a 6-2 lead and he held off LeadingFox in the third period to win 6-4 and seal the dual.
