Students and sponsors of the University of Central Oklahoma's widely recognized Student Academy of Forensic Sciences will attend the 56th annual meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) Feb. 15 through 21 in Dallas. There, future forensic scientists from throughout the nation will meet with criminologists, engineering scientists, psychiatry and behavioral scientists, toxicologists and other scientists who work in laboratories, institutes and universities from around the world. The gathering is a tool for forensic students to meet with experts and peers. "As club sponsor, I recall the times my mentor introduced me to leaders in my chosen field and helped me to
get to know them as colleagues," said Dr. Robert Bost, professor of chemistry and director of the UCO Forensic . Science Department. "I now have the opportunity to introduce UCO's Student Academy of Forensic Sciences, members to specialists in this discipline and to help usher our students into the collegial fellowship of our profession." During the event, students will attend the specialists' presentations and poster sessions, meet with the professionals for informal discussions, share concerns and ideas with fellow students from throughout the U.S. and meet with potential employers. Students also will meet with authors of text and other publications from which they use as refer-
ence material in class. "Attending this meeting is an important growth from student to forensic scientist," Bost said. UCO has graduated numerous forensic science students who have gone on to achieve greatness in the discipline, including former Oklahoma City Police Captain Tom Bevel. Retired in 1996, Bevel received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the UCO criminal justice program and was eventually named commander of Homicide, Robbery, Missing Persons and Major Unsolved Cases. For more information about UCO's criminal justice program, contact Bost at 974-5519.
Recent deaths bring state war toll to nine AP—The death of two Oklahoma soldiers overseas last week has brought the state's reported fatalities up to nine since combat in Iraq began. Communities from the tiny Panhandle town of Hooker to the eastern Oklahoma town of Poteau are coping with the loss of their hometown heroes. Army 2nd Lt. Luke James, 24, of Hooker, and Army Sgt. Kyle Seitsinger, 29, of Oklahoma City, are the state's latest deaths. James spent his last few hours at Fort Bragg, N.C., with his 6-month-old son Bradley and his wife, before leaving for Iraq on Jan. 15. The last picture of the father and son show the infant smiling cheerfully and his bright blue eyes shining as he sits on James' lap. James was killed Jan. 27, when a roadside bomb exploded near Iskandariyah, south of Baghdad. Seitsinger, once a journalism student at Oklahoma Christian University, was killed Thursday when mortar rounds and rifle ammunition exploded in Afghanistan, about 90 miles southwest of Kabul. At Fort Sill, an Army installation in south central Oklahoma, 18 of its soldiers have died since combat in Iraq began.
Nationally, 1,013 soldiers have been killed in Iraq and the Middle East, according to the Department of Defense. Six slain Fort Sill soldiers were among the 15 killed Nov. 2, when their helicopter was shot down in Iraq. Another soldier died a few days later from injuries sustained in the crash. Twenty-six others were injured, including Army Specialist Scott Parks of Lawton. Parks, who escaped the wreck with a spinal injury that limits movement in his neck and right arm, is expected to receive a Purple Heart and was in recognized during Gov. Brad Henry's state of the state address on Monday. Most of the soldiers killed in the helicopter crash, including Sgt. Ross A. Pennanen, 36, of Shawnee, Okla., were on their way home to spend time with their families before returning to Iraq. So far, Pennanen is the only Fort Sill soldier from Oklahoma to have died in combat, said Marcello Bruni, a spokesman for the Army post. Deaths from the war in Iraq are the first casualties the post has seen since the Vietnam War. "I would say it's been a pretty bad year, not only for Fort Sill, but for the Army," Bruni said. "It's been a bad year, but they are determined
and driving on." Wartime deaths haven't slowed the pace of recruits, said Army Staff Sgt. Carlos Ayala-Pagan, a recruiter in southern Tulsa. "When most people come into the office the first question they ask is what are their chances of being sent somewhere," Ayala-Pagan said. "It's usually the parents that ask if there's a chance they could be killed." As communities mourn the loss of servicemen who were once star athletes or the class clown of the local high school, recruiters say they are seeing a different group of recruits. "It used to be that people would come to the Army as a last resort. People who had graduated high school and were stuck at Wal-Mart or McDonald's and wanted something more," Ayala-Pagan said. "Now we're seeing more college students who have graduated with a four-year degree and want to become part of something, want to serve their country." Wartime deaths are tragic and horrible, but a part of combat duty, Ayala-Pagan said. "Giving your life is the ultimate honor," Ayala-Pagan said. "It's sad that somebody has to give their life to make the world change, but the sacrifices they make today are going to shape the future."
Colorado loses recruit, quarterback arrested AP _ With national signing day looming, a recruit has backed out of attending the University of Colorado, which is grappling with allegations that it lured recruits with sex parties. A recently ousted player has also been arrested for allegedly molesting a fellow student. Tavita Thompson, a 6-foot-6 lineman from Honolulu who had said he was leaning toward Colorado, has decided instead to sign with Oregon State, university officials said. Thompson told the Boulder Daily Camera he was concerned the scandal could result in changes in Colorado's coaching staff, though he was reassured by the staff it would have no affect. Thompson also said relatives in Oregon and its Pacific 10 Conference membership were the deciding factors. A message left at .
his home Tuesday was not immediately returned. Colorado athletics spokesman Dave Plati declined comment until Wednesday, when universities can officially sign their recruits to scholarships. Meanwhile, Boulder police said former Colorado quarterback James Colt Brennan, 20, was arrested Monday by university police on charges including unlawful sexual contact for allegedly entering a female student's dormitory room and exposing himself. Brennan was cut from the team last week after he was accused of sexual misconduct. Campus police did not immediately return a telephone message. The university was plunged into scandal last week after the sex party allegations surfaced in a deposition given by Boulder County District Attorney Mary
Keenan. Football coach Gary Barnett and university administrators have denied encouraging such activities. At least two university investigations are under way and Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman this week said she was forming an independent panel to look into the allegations. The university's Board of Regents will also meet Friday to discuss the scandal sparked by civil lawsuits in which three women say they were raped at or following a December 2001 football recruiting party. In a deposition for one of the lawsuits, Keenan said recruits were led to believe they would have sex with women at the parties _ and that the university ignored her demands to crack down. Gov. Bill Owens has told the university to clean up its act.

The Shirelles finished their first week at #1 on the music charts with "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." The song spent two weeks at the top spot. It was the group's first #1 song and the first #1 hit for the songwriter. She became a star in her own right, having many #1 singles and albums in the 1970s. Her name was Carole King. 1997 Switzerland's three biggest banks, galvanized by international pressure, said they had created a 100 million Swiss franc Holocaust memorial fund as a gesture of good will toward their critics.

Letters can be e-mailed to ticovista@hotmail.com . To the editor: My life is guided by the unseen hand of God. When I am troubled or doubtful, I turn to God and find the answers I seek. My God is omniscient and omnipotent, but my God is not the "only holy and true" God of Kyle Houts. My God is a china teapot that revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit between the Earth and Mars. Although this teapot is too small to be revealed by our most powerful telescopes, It created the universe, and all power emanates from It. These are the "only holy and true" words of Bertrand Russell. Upon the revelation of these words I have based all my personal ethics. I read these words daily, and I pray to Teapot every night before I sleep. It gives me great comfort to know that Teapot has a plan for my life and is watching over me. Mine is "the only holy and true" faith, as opposed to Kyle Houts' "only holy and true" faith. But... If Mr. Houts can prove to me that Teapot does not exist, I will drop Teapot like a bad habit and bow to his fearsome deity. To convince me, he must use logic and avoid all unsupported assertions (such as the idea that, since many people believe something, then it must be true—didn't people once believe the moon is cheese?). However, if Mr. Houts cannot disprove my personal faith, I will ask him to admit that his faith is no more legitimate than mine, nor more tenable than any of the other myriad faiths that he calls unholy and untruthful. I won't even bother responding to Mr. Houts other assumptions. OK, maybe just one. But which? They're all so scandalous. Did he have a point at all? His letter revolves around the experience of Jews during the holocaust and their enslavement in Egypt and even implies that America should step in (militarily, I assume) to defend
the Israelis from "suicide bombers," just as the U.S. entered Europe in WWII to save the people in concentration camps. I thought we finally (after ignoring the invasions of Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and France) went to war with Germany because we feared they would eventually attack us, a situation similar to Iraq. Weapons of Mass Destruction, right? Our main concern wasn't the plight of oppressed Iraqis but our own hides and economic interest. Now the Bush administration is backtracking. More like Weapons of Mass Disappearance. And anyway, if the U.S. is now employed fulltime to save oppressed people, why don't we move to save the Palestinians from the occupying Israelis? The holocaust certainly was terrible, and now Israeli settlers are moving onto Palestinian land illegally, taking all they want, bulldozing Palestinians' houses, while the Israeli military erects walls between the Palestinians and their employment, imposes strict curfews, kills any resistors, and assassinates anyone they can't bulldoze. On 16 March 2003 an Israeli bulldozer driver murdered 23-year-old American peace activist Rachel Corrie by driving over her as she tried to' stop him from bulldozing Palestinian homes. I challenge everyone reading this to check out her story: htttp://www.rockhawk.com/american_kille d_by_israel.htm I apologize in advance for the disturbing pictures you will find, though maybe the driver and the Israeli government that encourages such activity should apologize, not me. Do past grievances justify any aggression, any oppression? I'll stop here, though I could keep going ad infinitum. Tre Ronne English
To the editor: He seems to propose that all it would take to end the violence is for Yasser Arafat to just stop all those suicide bombings and learn to get along with the Israelis; if that could just happen, Israel would have no reason to bulldoze an entire refugee camp in retaliation. His observation of Israel's thriving society is an apt one, however: he states that Israel has forgotten about their tragic past and that they live in the here and now. What he doesn't understand is that if both sides sat down, examined their pasts (rather than forget them), and worked out their problems, the entire area would eventually be thriving. Regardless of how we Americans feel about the conflict, or even if we care about what's happening over there at all, Houts seems to be telling us to just take Israel's side and support it 100% without knowing the facts, the history, or the cultural aspects of the area and people involved. At the same time, he seems to be sending a message to those here in the United States that still feel as if they are marginalized by society to just "get over it and move on." Kyle is absolutely right about one thing, though: it is about race. It's about gender and sexuality, too. Kyle's argument that' Reverend Jackson's message of "You are where you are because the white guy is keeping you down and don't forget it" pretty much rang true for the first 188 years of our country's existence. It still rings true for some Americans today. And telling us to "just move on and forget it," rather than stopping and facing the problems and trying to work out effective solutions, is exactly what's going to KEEP it about race. Slavery was abolished, women were allowed to vote, and children were pulled out of factory jobs because people refused to "just move on. In reference to his comparisons between Bush's invasion of Iraq and the Nazi extermination of 6 million Jews, he speaks of not being able to figure out how people can't understand the similarities between Hitler and Hussein. Easy:
Hitler invaded 24 countries in Europe and Africa; Hussein ruled only Iraq. And even though both men brutally murdered many thousands of people, the moral imperative that is generated by their atrocities is not the argument used in challenging the unjust execution of this war; the argument is focused squarely on the method used in doing so: unilateral invasion without international support. Slobodan Milosevic, Charles Taylor, and Eduard Shevardnadze can attest to the many ways to dispose a brutal dictator without invading and destroying his country's infrastructure in the process. Finally, I'd like to counter Kyle's assertion that "those who can tell what sacrifice, honor, and fighting somebody and something other than yourself is, those are the people who fear God..." His insinuation that sacrifice, honor, and fighting for a cause are characteristics solely exhibited by religious people is insulting. My sense of sacrifice or honor is not because of a deity. It comes from my own identity as a human being, my sense of duty as a citizen, and my pride in being an American. I don't feel the need to use my religion as a disclaimer; I am not a Jew, either. Nor am I a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, or an atheist. I do not believe in only one holy and true scripture, and not doing so does not dinilliish my social status or my civic duty to question my government and its policies. I do not feel compelled to classify myself as belonging to any race but the Human kind. And though Houts professes that we should all "forget it and just move on," I believe the humanity's inherent (albeit often suppressed) ability to recognize, remember, and effectively work to accept cultural, social, and religious differences is what makes us civilized and progressive in the first place.

OPINION
Letter to the editor Dear Mr. Houts, President of the College Republicans, After reading your letter to the editor published in the February 3rd issue of The Vista, I am disappointed in you, sit Beyond all of the typos, grammatical mistakes, and non-sensical sentences, the absence of valid historical facts essentially undermines any of the blurry arguments you were trying to make. I think I am in the same boat as many readers when I ask, "what exactly are you trying to say or prove?" Basically the letter seems to chant "I love and respect Jews" over and over. At other times you confront racism, and in the end provide a call to arms regarding our invasion of Iraq. But few of these arguments are related, much less capable of being expressed in the same breath. Your arguments are scattered and blubbering at best. But, I am not here to question your position on your admiration of the Hebrew faith, I am here to correct the historical inaccuracies littered throughout your attempt at a letter to the editor. Rir the record, the Palestine/Israel struggle has only existed since WWII. We created Israel as a gateway to provide stability in the Middle Fast, thus alienating large amounts of Palestinians. Therefore this "Family Feud" has not existed for thousands of years, but many decades. And by the way Israel is not synonmous with Jews. You cannot use the two terms interchangebly. One is a country. The other is more or less a spiritually based culture. Notice I identify Judaism as a culture, NOT a race, as you often refer to it. This would be the equivalent of identifying the Muslim race, which does not exist. People of any race can follow the Muslim or Jewish faith. Most surpising is your absence of knowledge concerning WWII. The D-Day invasion was not when we "first [fought] Hider's Nazi Germany." We had been fighting the Axis Powers since the attack on Pearl Harbor at the end of 1941. Again, Israel did not lose nearly six million Jewish lives in the war. Israel was not yet in existence. In addition, America did little to help the sufferings of the Jewish people. Our government had learned of the oppression Hider was waging on Judaism, but did little to rectify the situation for years. Also, as Jews poured out of Eastern Europe, American was quick to prevent extensive immigration of these people, casting them back into the war torn lands of Europe. We provided no help to these people, nor did we enter the war to save them. A peculiar term you mentioned "the greatest generation," in reference to the generation of veterans of WWII immediately caught my eye. Are you not familiar with the antiGerman and ant-Asian propagana that this generation was drowned in? To this day, numbers of the "greatest generation" hate people of Asian decent because of "facts" and films produced at this time. This the same generation that stood on the sidelines and protested during the civil rights movement. And yet they are praised in the same letter that you condemn racism?
Somehow you try to tie Hider to Saddam together, and compare the atrocities the two men committed against their own people. Again we did not enter the war to save the Iraqis, but to find non-existent weapons of mass destruction. Of course Bush adminstration was quick to save face by changing directions of the campaign and sacrificing American lives for Iraqi freedom. Perhaps you should do some research concerning the sanctions placed on Iraq following the original Desert Storm. Therein lies a national tragedy. Ironically you end your letter identifying yourself as "somebody who understands where the Jews have come from." Unfortunately, through your misinformed ramblings you have proved the exact opposite. And for the love of the Constitution don't praise Jesse Jackson, the NAACP and Yasser Arafat ("the Forgotten Terrorist") in the same sentence. Please read up before you put more of this nonsense to paper, and get a proofreader while you are at it. As a president I'm sure it will come in handy. C. M. Rodriguez Journalism
by Shawna Parks Film Critic Starring: Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson, Giovanni Ribisi, and Anna Faris. Directed by Sofia Coppola. For a film touted as a "comedy," this movie definitely surprises the viewer with a unique genre of film — the perfect mix of comedy and drama, belonging in neither category. Lost in Translation makes you laugh but still offers a sense of authenticity that Hollywood is usually lacking. Hollywood veteran Bill Murray plays Bob, the aging movie star who is on location in Tokyo for a commercial shoot. Rising actress Scarlett Johansson plays Charlotte, the lonely wife of a photographer (Giovanni Ribisi). Her husband is gone on shoots, while she sits in her room at the Tokyo Hyatt.
Bob and Charlotte meet in the hotel bar one evening. Their commonality lies in the empty relationships with their spouses. Their friendship grows into something that neither of them can have. This film has an art-house aesthetic with amazing cinematography. There is an austerity to the film that will remind you of Punch Drunk Love. This is because not every scene is bombarded with soundtrack as in most movies, and all of the scenes are very "clean" or streamlined. You will feel the tension, the pain, and the yearning of Bob and Charlotte. Every touch and every look have you in the scene, truly caring about the characters. Much is "lost in translation" between the Japanese and Americans, but more is lost in the struggle to keep their marriages intact. This film is perfectly acted and is the perfect movie to go see this weekend.

The Denver Post, on changing NCAA rules for Olympians: The NCAA is being hypocritical in the unique case of athlete Jeremy Bloom. The National Collegiate Athletic Association says it wants to preserve amateurism in college sports. Yet it lets college football players sign professional baseball deals and basketball players to go pro in South America. The NCAA says its rules apply to all college athletes equally. But it waived the required one-year waiting period when a University of Colorado football player transferred to Colorado State. The NCAA insists it can't make rules for any special group. However, unlike other college athletes, Olympic team members can take a few correspondence classes and remain NCAA-eligible.
Clearly, the NCAA can show flexibility when it wants to. Its bylaws plainly say the association can make exceptions when exceptional circumstances arise. And Bloom, a 21-year-old University of Colorado sophomore, is an exceptional case. He's more than a receiver and punt returner for CU's football team. He's also one of Team USA's best hopes for skiing gold at the 2006 Olympics. But to reign supreme in international freestyle skiing, Bloom needs to hire personal coaches and get specialized training _ which cost up to $100,000 a year. Bloom can't afford that kind of dough unless he gets paid to endorse products. To do so, and stay on the CU football squad, he needs the NCAA's permission. But after granting many

Other upcoming events: PRSSA will hold its February meeting at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 10 in Room 203 of the Communications Building.

Next week the Association of Women's Studies will sponsor Condom Awareness week. They will have a booth set up in the University Center.
exceptions to other rules, the NCAA has gone into institutional rigor mortis. Despite CU's appeals on Bloom's behalf, the NCAA has rejected any of several compromises that would let Bloom play college ball while endorsing products to further his Olympic dream. Recently, Bloom put the NCAA on the spot, announcing he'll seek endorsements even while remaining on CU's team. It was a bold move by a young man whose dream is to hear the Star Spangled Banner played at the freestyle course in two years. Now it's up to the NCAA to force CU to kick Bloom off the college team, a move certain to make the NCAA look heavyhanded. The NCAA's fear _ that such an exception would open a Pandora's box _ is vacuous. The truth is, the NCAA could craft an exception so narrow it wouldn't set a worrisome precedent.
Since the NCAA already made one exception for Olympians, it also could let college athletes accept endorsements, but only to pay for training for the U.S. Olympic team. The NCAA could even stipulate that the Olympic sport not be one played in college competitions. Bloom also could limit his endorsements to skiing-specific products. He did, in fact, offer to put his endorsement money into a trust, ensuring it would be spent only on Olympic-related activities. To date, though, the NCAA has been hard as frozen molasses. By spurning all suggested solutions, it has exhibited an extraordinary depth of hypocrisy _ and a serious calcification of thought. It would be a shame if the NCAA's inflexibility cost the United States a gold medal in the 2006 Olympics.
Iowa woman fiinds missing high school ring after 30 years A woman who lost her high school class ring more than 30 years ago said she was shocked when it was returned _ she thought it was gone forever. Helen Broeg, the youngest of nine children, considered the $17 ring her parents gave her in 1951 a symbol of honor. Born Helen Irene Weeks, she was only one of three children in the family to earn a high school diploma. Broeg realized the ring was missing in 1973, when she and her first husband left the Seaton, Ill., farm where they had been living. "Even though I never wore it very much, I still felt bad that it was gone," she said. Recently an unidentified woman found Broeg's ring while going through a box of pictures. The woman's father worked for the farmer who bought the farm Broeg moved from in 1973.
Noticing the tiny initials "HIW" etched into the ring band, the woman found a copy of the 1951 Aledo, Ill., High School yearbook. Helen Irene Weeks was the only person with those initials. A friend recognized the maiden name of Becky Maynard, one of Broeg's children. Maynard received her mother's ring several weeks before Christmas, had it cleaned and put it in a basket of goodies for her mother. "I opened it and there that was," Broeg said. "I knew immediately. I thought where did that come from? I started crying ... It's just something that I never thought I'd see again." The ring still fits. She said the only time she takes it off now is to show off the engraved initials that led to its return.

Bronchos picked to win LSC North by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer With their first game right around the corner, the UCO baseball team is gearing up for what the experts say will be another championship season for the Bronchos in 2004. The defending Lone Star Conference North Division champs have been picked by coaches and various media representatives from the LSC to win their fourth straight division title receiving 12 of 14 first place votes in a preseason poll announced Jan. 20 by the league office. The Bronchos, after three consecutive appearances in the national tournament under 13year head coach Wendell Simmons, are ranked No. 10 in a preseason NCAA Division II poll released Dec. 24 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Despite the loss of record-setting power sluggers Barrett Whitney, John Rogers, and Mike Hill, who resided in the meat of the batting order last year, the Bronchos look to get the job done with improved depth, speed, and versatility in 04'. "Well, we've got a lot of
depth and our overall speed is better than it was last year," said Simmons. "We're probably two deep at every position and we've got guys that can play in the outfield or infield which gives us a lot of different combinations." "We'll just see who has the hot bat and then decide on a line-up," he said. Seven starters return from last year's 44-13 team including four All-LSC North picks in senior pitchers Kyle Nevels and Ray Wood, senior centerfielder Nolan Randolph, and junior catcher Blake Deen. Simmons expects another solid pitching staff despite the graduation of his ace hurler Skip Weast who recently signed with the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Nevels looks to become the new ace in the rotation with Wood set to pick up where he left off handling the closing duties after' saving a schoolrecord eight games in 03'. Central returns two seniors Layle DeVilbiss and Jeremy Leeper to the pitching staff this year after each received medical hardships last year to retain another year of eligibility. Randolph should head up this team's increased speed after
stealing a league-leading 34 bases last year while Deen looks to step into this year's power hitting role along with shortstop Drew Bowers, and Josh Odell. "We've got several of them that are capable of hitting for power," said Simmons. "We've just got to find out where they're going to fit in the line-up. Nothing's set in stone yet." And not much will be set in stone as far as the line up is concerned according to Simmons who isn't even counting on being able to play the season opener on Saturday with Panhandle State. "Right now, we're not where we should be because the weather has kept us from doing the things we need to be doing. We're not ever going to turn into a descent team until we can get some consistent weather so we can get some consistent play." The spring 2004 baseball schedule is full of excitement this year with the biggest games coming when the Bronchos face defending National Champion and preseason No. 1-ranked Central Missouri State Feb. 2122, Tarleton State in an LSC crossover game March 16-17, and LSC North rival Southeastern on April 7, 24-25.

Chattin' around the cooler with Brandon Chatmon
LeBron & Melo, MIA It's NBA All-Star time. And you know what that means! Time to talk about the all-star snubs. Nobody cares who's in the game but everyone cares who's not! We all know who the biggest snub was: That's right, LeBron James Lay-UP! LeBron James has lived up to and surpassed the hype. ENOUGH SAID. Never has their been a player come into the league with this type of hype and what does he do? He instantly becomes a league-wide attraction and one of the best players in the league. He's the Cays go-to guy in crunch time and he makes the big plays with the game on the line. And he just turned 19. Jamaal Magloire is an all-star but he isn't?? Yeah, and P. Diddy was the best part of the halftime show last Sunday.
We know Melo can score but we didn't know he'd make this bi a difference, the Nuggets were HO BLE as Bill Walton would say. True enough, Marcus Camby, Earl Boykins and Andre Miller have been just as important, but Melo brought a winning attitude to the Mile High City. Ray Allen over Melo?? Yeah, he's got ame but he must have thought he was Jesus Shuttlesworth again, he's only played 30 games this year. This ain't high school, shouldn't you have to play the majority of the year to be an all-star? Melo is a rookie go-to guy, leading scorer for a team with a better record than Allen's squad. No reason to be surprised though, they're rookies. The NBA probably thought: "They'll still be the main attraction in the rookie game. This way people will watch both the rookie game and the all-star game." Who wants to watch Melo and LeBron dominate their fellow rookies? We wanted to see them among the best.
Next snub: Carmelo Anthony. Now there's no reason to tune in at all!! Lay-UP!

Looking the halt their twogame losing skid, the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team will head to Lawton tonight to face Cameron University at 8. "Heading into this game with Cameron, I'm concerned with our level of discipline. We have practiced hard but when we got in the game, we didn't do what we were supposed to do. We missed shots, missed lay-ups and just didn't make good decisions," said Head Coach Terry Evans. "This week in practice our emphasis has been on blocking out and rebounding." The Bronchos are 6-11 overall and 2-2 in the Lone Star Conference Northern Division. UCO will be lead by junior Deshone Henderson, the fourthleading scorer in the LSC, at 18.2 points per outing. Point Guard Terry McVay has been instrumental in the Bronchos conference success adding 16.3 points per game
since joining the squad during Christmas Break. Sophomore guard Kentrell Gaddis is the only other Broncho averaging double-figures with 10.9, while leading the team in assists at 2.5 apg. Cameron is 5-14 overall and 0-4 in the LSC North. The Aggies are 2-6 at home this season, 0-2 in the North. CU has lost 13 of their last 14 games with their last win coming on Dec. 20 against Missouri Western. "Our goal is to hold people under 60 points. Right now we are last in the league in points allowed. We have been fouling too much and teams have hit their free throws," said Evans. The Bronchos defense will have to focus on Marcus Girtmon, the 6'5" junior from Dallas averages 14.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists for the Aggies. UCO will have to keep an eye on Jeremy Amos, the Norman native puts up 6.4 three-point attempts per game, hitting 43.8% of them.
to Tarleton State, 75-64. Leading Scorer: Deshone Henderson, 21
"We have nothing special planned, we'll play our solid man-to-man defense, but I think the key against Cameron will be rebounding," said Evans. The Aggies dropped their last game, a 76-63 loss to Southeastern Oklahoma State on Jan. 31. UCO fell in their last outing as top-ranked Tarleton State snuffed their upset attempt, 75-64. UCO returns to the Hamilton Field House on Saturday when they host Southwestern Oklahoma at 8 p.m. SWOSU is lead by reigning conference player of the week Jamaal Shell. The 6'4" junior from Fort Worth averaged 28.3 points in games against Southeastern and East Central.
