UCOSA plans for active semester
UCO students and faculty braved icy parking lots and sidewalks Thursday after returning to school from a two-anda-half day ice storm break. "The driving conditions were really bad for me," Sophomore Racey Ballard said. "[I was] sliding on ice." Freshman Tyler Butler had morning and afternoon classes on Thursday. "At lo o'clock in the morning I thought it was a little slippery," she said. "But I
thought it was bearable." Butler also said she saw other people "slipping and sliding around" on campus. "I heard that the [Liberal Arts] parking lot wasn't ... cleared off," Butler said. Mike Sokoff, UCO's director of transportation and parking, said UCO does not clear parking lots unless the weather is severe enough to keep them unsafe many days at a time. "If it was going to be something

In a flash (drive), worm can infect computers
Stephani Tobin Copy Editor
With a new semester under way, the three branches of UCOSA have plans and aspirations for UCO's student body. Daniel Stockton, the president pro tempore of UCOSA Senate, said this semester there are a number of key items on their agenda students can look forward to. One major item is the Healthy Campus Initative, which will design, implement and evaulate policies to help make UCO a healthier place to study and work, according to the UCO website. On the UCOSA meeting Monday, Stockton informed members to get to work on the initiative and create legislation to make the idea into law. "This will be a heavily debated topic," he said, "and I imagine we'll see some big hitters come to bat for both sides." Stockton also wants to provide more organization for the various groups and organizations on campus, and implement new steps in the process. The steps will help UCOSA streamline the application process for new campus organizations, decreasing paperwork and setting criteria for stagnant and non-active student groups. Stockton hopes that removing stagnant organizations will help combat the decrease in funding they may see as a result. "All of these things will hopefully lead to less stress on both sides of

Windows users beware: Millions already impacted Caleb McWilliams sm014/ther
A malicious computer worm, affecting millions of computers worldwide, uses the college student's best friend to spread itself: a flash drive. Experts estimate that up to 15 million computers are infected with the worm, known sometimes as Downandup, Conficker or Kido. The worm primarily affects computers running Windows XP and Windows 2000, but has recently hit computers running Windows Vista and Windows 7 Beta. First discovered last November, the worm evolved in late December and has since exploded into an "epidemic," Panda Security Technical Director Luis Corrons said. "This is no doubt an epidemic and the worst may
still be to come, as the worm could begin to download more, malware onto computers or to spread through other channels," Corrons said. Symantec, publisher of the Norton AntiVirus software line, said on its website that "[t]he worm tries to take advantage of a problem with Windows (a vulnerability)... to quietly install itself. The worm also tries to spread by copying itself into shared folders on networks and by infecting USB devices such as memory sticks." Through shared folders on networks, USB devices and the Internet, Conficker continues to grow at an alarming rate. In another twist, the worm "guesses" passwords and uses vulnerable weak passwords to gain more access. Passwords such as "password," "admin" or "123456" are quickly guessed. Dr. Cynthia Rolfe, vice president for information technology at UCO, gave several tips to keep students, faculty and staff safe on their personal computers and

Former student's vision becomes reality Chase Dearinger StaffIVriter
Anyone who has walked through the Lillard Administration building in the last year and a half has noticed one thing: the new foyer. Nestled amongst traditional, collegiate design, stainless steel, Berber car- pet and fluorescent lighting is space that at once grabs your attention and invites you to „ come in and have a seat. This is the Leadership Lounge. The lounge, with its rich, wooden finishes and leather furniture, is as inviting and lofty as a space can be. The accessories, from smartly placed lamps and globes to : the books on the shelves, give one the feel that they could either be waiting for Thomas -• Jefferson in the front room at Monticello or Roger Webb in the foyer of the administration building. ▪ For one UCO graduate, the Leadership Lounge carries a special significance. Her name is Elspeth Brown. Brown, who graduated from UCO in 2007, designed the space. The lounge was • her first major project after graduating with a degree in Interior Design and part of her job as Project Coordinator I in Architectural and Engineering Services, where she works • with architects on design in both new con' structions and renovations on campus. "We wanted to create a space that was descriptive of how important leadership is," Brown said. "Leadership has always been required, so we wanted something without the boundaries of time." The goal was to create an elevated feel and provide a space for students to congre-
gate and study. The renovation of the foyer of the Lillard Administration Building was a complete redefinition of the space, Brown said. Flooring, wall finishes, ceiling, lighting, windows, furniture and accessories were all areas that underwent renovation. Design and construction went on in the spring and summer of 2007. Little did Brown know that her first major project would win awards. After completion of the foyer, she entered the project into the Association of University Interior Designersis (AVID) annual competition. The Leadership Lounge won third place for a renovation of $50,000-$100,000. Brown never had the competition in mind when the renovation was in process. "The competition was not something I thought about entering until the project was complete," Brown said. Leadership simply asked her to transform the space, and she did her job. The goal was to create a space for Leadership Central, a group that initiates leadership on campus through coursework and other activities. Brown received the award at the AVID National Conference in October 2008 at Ohio State University. Interior design has been an interest of Brown's since she came to UCO. "Interior design is just an interest that I picked up," Brown said. "I was interested in designing interiors and the artistic side of that." She began with a double major in interior design and piano performance but ultimately chose interior design. "I felt like interior design could become

a career," Brown said. "The piano was more of a hobby, and I didn't feel like I could dedicate the necessary time to it." Brown said she was drawn to interior design because of how you can relate to other people through it. "Seeing how a space can affect people is really amazing," Brown said. "One of the aspects of interior design I enjoy most is the ability to create environments in which people can thrive. If you change an area, people respond differently."
Now that the Leadership Lounge is behind her, Elspeth is looking forward to new projects. Currently, she is working with architects to design the interior spaces in the new Forensic Science Center and the Center for Transformative Learning, both of which are under construction. If you still haven't seen the Leadership Lounge in the Lillard Administration Building, stop by and take a look. You might end up staying longer than planned.
No longer "ok," UCO's domain name changed Ryan Croft Senior Reporter
One of the most wide-reaching changes to UCO in recent months is the dropping of the letter "k" from its Internet and e-mail addresses. One anonymous UCO student shared his beliefs on why the name change came about. "The company that used to have [the "uco.edu " address] [UCO] bought the Web site name from that company," lie said. The student also said he believes both the e-mail and Internet addresses were changed because it would be easier for both to match. He is almost correct. Stephanie Edwards, director of Internet strategy for UCO's Information Technology department, said the domain-name switch was a matter of simple practicality. "'Uco.edu became available," she said. "It was time to get it and it was the right thing to do for the university." Edwards said `.edu' domains, unlike other
Illustration by Kayleigh Adamek
domain extensions such as .com and .org, are regulated and relegated by one entity. They cannot simply be bought or created like normal Web sites. "It's not just a free-for-all for anyone to register,". Edwards said. EDUCAUSE is the company responsible for the `.edu' regulation. According to the EDUCAUSE Web site, "requests for new names in the domain are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis for eligible institutions."
The site also noted that schools using the `.edu' domain must use the EDUCAUSE site to manage their domains and route all of their domain contact information. The EDUCAUSE site also emphasized the importance of an applicant's eligibility based on its list of "eligible institutions." According to the EDUCAUSE site, the Department of Commerce first awarded EDUCAUSE a five-year agreement on Oct. 29, 2001 to manage all `.edu' domains. The agreement was extended another five years on Feb. 2, 2006. Edwards also explained why both the Internet and e-mail addresses were changed. "The e-mail address is based off the domain name," she said. "So, if the Web site address exists at `uco.edu' ... any e-mail addresses [must match that domain]." The domain change was part one of a three-part process that also included an updated look for the "top level" UCO Web pages along with full-time UCO faculty and staff upgrading to a Microsoft Outlook-run e-mail system, according to an informational handout from UCO's Information Technology department. All three changes were finalized on Jan. 2, 2009.

What's in a number? Can it hold any significance? The answer is a resounding yes if you happened to have lost millions thanks to Bernie Madoff or have several credit cards, all maxed out and behind schedule for payment. Yes, if you happen to be the 44th president, and the first presidential ethnic change in the White House in, well, forever. Who can forget the news about former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich when he tried to sell off President Obama's Senate seat? He will be the first impeachment of the year, though hardly the first corrupt politician. But how about number 52? Does this mean anything to anyo oe? It should for many reasons. On Monday, Feb. 2, the 52nd Oklahoma legislative session con vened, marking its own place in state history. For the first time in Oklahoma, the Republican Party controls both the State House and Senke. Celebration of this victory
will be short lasted, as the legislature has a bumpy road to lead the state through. You may be asking, how this might affect you, or students at UCO? With considerable budget shortfalls facing the state, lawmakers will address possibilities of raising tuition rates. Concealand-carry bills are also making a noticeable return that could alter campus security policies. These issues, plus more, await state politicians. Over the course of the legislative session, Vista readers can expect to read news and information on key legislation that can impact this university and state. There may be new firsts for our nation and our state this year. Hopefully for many, 2009 will be a year of firsts for Bronchos becoming engaged with their local and state government during this historic 52nd legislative session.

the ball when it comes to paperwork and efficiency," he said. He also anticipates the re-introduction of legislature to potentially allow students to carry concealed weapons on campus, if they have a license to do so. The resolution would be part of Oklahoma House Bill 1086, formerly House Bill 2513, which was introduced by State Representative Jason Murphey, R-Guthrie, in response to shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007. UCOSA President John Bobb-Semple said along with plans to streamline student organizations, he wants UCO to become involved with the Edmond mayoral race. He said students who live within three miles of campus can affect the election, due to low Edmond voter turnout in previous years. "We want to make sure these candidates care about what UCO students care about," BobbSemple said. Bobb-Semple said UCOSA will be working with the Junior City Council and the UCommute office at UCO to bring the Edmond candidates to campus and discuss issues and concerns toward UCO students. UCOSA will also work with Pi Sigma Alpha to organize an Easter egg hunt for local children and children of UCO students, Bobb-Semple said. David Harrison, UCOSA supreme court chief justice, said one of his goals for the semester is to help create new Supreme Court justice appointments. Harrison said although there may be a lack of interest in students seeking justice positions, he hopes that there are three students on campus who would be interested in the position and interested in having a strong role on campus.
computers at UCO. "The most important thing is for people to use common sense," Rolfe said. "Never give out your password, and never open something from a Web site or an e-mail from someone you don't trust." The Conficker worm has been silently creating a "botnet," the purpose of which is still unclear. The network has yet to be activated, but many believe such a sophisticated worm is unlikely to be just for intellectual pursuit or simple vandalism. The New York Times reports that researchers expect "within the next few weeks, the bot-herder who controls the programs will send out commands to force the botnet to perform some as yet unknown illegal activity." Rolfe suggested keeping your computer updated with Windows Update, running and updating an anti-virus software program and creating strong, un-guessable passwords to help keep your computer safe. Rolfe wants to remind students that UCO's contract with Symantec AntiVirus allows students to install the software for free. In addition to keeping student's personal computers malware-free, UCO has three levels of virus protection to keep computers on campus safe. Data coming into the network are tested for maiware software, as well as tests at the server. While it's unreasonable to ask people to not use their flash drives, experts recommend turning off the "autorun" features and opening flash drives manually. The worm can use the autorun feature to automatically patch the malicious software to important Windows processes. Running Windows Update and the Windows Malicious Software Tool, both available from Microsoft's website, will generally remove the worm once the computer has been infected.
