Organizations give away free condoms

by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer Free condoms and lubricants will be distributed by the Democratic Socialists and Association of Women Studies throughout the week: "What will you give your Valentine?" asked Tre Ronne, a member of the Association of Women's Studies.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day this week, a booth will be set up in the Food Court of the Nigh University Center for "National Condom Awareness Week."

"People need to be informed and protect themselves no matter what their sexual beliefs are," said Timothy Brown, a member of both organizations.

Planned Parenthood provided the items at the booth for the 22nd annual "Week."

"Through Planned Parenthood, Valentine's Day and National Condom Week, there is a terrific opportunity to educate people about the importance of

prevention and responsible condom use while dispelling the myths," said Terry Dennison, director of educational services for Planned Parenthood of Central Oklahoma. "Condom awareness and the promotion of responsible choices and behaviors, including abstinence, are all part of our continuing strategy of prevention."

As well as having condoms in all different sizes, colors and flavors and the water based lubricants in 12 different flavors, there will be a "guess the number of condoms in the jar" contest and "Just Wear It" bumper stickers at the booth.

"Through our activities during National Condom Week, we hope to show that it's OK to talk about condoms, and that condom use should be the norm rather than the exception," Dennison said.

For National Condom Week an Internet poll, called "Condomania," was taken.

One of the questions asked, "Have you ever chosen to NOT

have sex because you didn't have a condom?"

Seventy-five percent responded that they had.

"It sounds like people out there are hearing the critical safer sex messages we're trying to convey — to make smart choices and protect themselves every time they have sex," said Daniel Bao, director of the Condom Resource Center.

When asked, "How embarrassing is it for you to buy condoms?" most men said that it wasn't a big deal.

"Gone are the days of embarrassing drugstore horror stories," said Adam Glickman, president of Condomania. "Today, men and women are becoming proud customers of condoms."

Students can also buy 12 condoms for $1 at the Student Health Center throughout the year.

For additional information on National Condom Week, call Planned Parenthood at 5280221.

OPINION February 10, 2004

uote of the day "Everything has been figured out, except how to live."

- Jean-Paul Sane

Today in History 1837 - Russian poet and novelist Alexander Pushkin was killed in a duel. Regarded as Russia's greatest poet, his works include the historical tragedy "Boris Godunov."

1840 - Queen Victoria of England married Prince Albert of SaxeCoburg.

1841 - The Act of Union, uniting Upper and Lower Canada, came into effect.

1863 - Two of the world's most famous midgets, General Tom Thumb, who stood three feet, four inches high, and his bride, Lavinia Warren, who was two feet, eight inches tall, were married in New York City, in front of 2,000 of their closest friends.

1920 - Representatives for major league baseball outlawed pitches that involve tampering with the ball, including using sandpaper or emery paper. It may be a baseball law but, it is often broken like others. Many umpires have the nail files to prove it.

National Condom Awareness Week not to be taken lightly Just wear it.

The slogan is emblazoned on bumper stickers everywhere.

Hopefully, the message will make its way to you this week if it hasn't already.

Once a year, in the month of February, student organizations here on campus set up a booth for Condom Awareness Week and pass out free condoms.

Monday, the first day of Condom Awareness Week, two members of the Association of Women's Studies and the Democratic Socialists manned the booth. The turnout during their two-hour stay was less than par, and they said that most of the visitors to the booth were female.

It is ironic that the free products attracted more attention from

the women and that the men seemed to shy away.

People were even given the opportunity to guess how many condoms were in a jar for a chance at winning the jar's contents. Free condoms, and a guess-the-number game — what more could students want?

So, why the poor turnout?

The handful of people who showed up on Monday surely do not equate then number of condom consumers at the university. These consumers should take advantage of the free condoms, and if not the free condoms, then at least the abundance of informative pamphlets and brochures at the booth.

Perhaps the annoying old saying, "Better safe than sorry," is what fits best here.

Letter to the editor

Mr. Houts also writes that Israel and Palestine have been at war since thousands of years before he was born, and that the Israelis have thrived under the oppression due to their refusal to -live in the past.Israel did not become a nation until 1948. It becamea , nation,, ultimately, because Britain decided to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, an Arab region that had been under Ottoman rule during World War One. The PLO was formed by people who did not agree with the fact that hundreds of thousands of Islamic Arabs were suddenly forced to live under Jewish rule. I am not in any way condoning or justifying terrorist acts committed by either side of this conflict, but let's get the facts straight before we model ourselves after the noble, "oppressed," Israelis who have "conquered racism." Conquered racism? Of course they've conquered racism. They have successfully removed almost every Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese person from what is now called Israel. Racism is not hard to conquer when you're really good at it.

Finally, Mr. Houts contends that, "For decades, our nation has been falling in a downward spiral" and that "it is time that America takes a side in this war." He contends that we need to take a side in the war between Israel and Palestine? We've been on Israel's side since 1956. Or is the nation on a downward spiral because of Jesse Jackson

Dear editor, I am writing in response to Kyle Houts' "article" in the Feb. 3 issue of The Vista. I am sure that Mr. Houts checked his facts before he wrote that the D-Day invasion occurred at Normandy in 1944. He should have checked his facts before writing anything else, because, unfortunately, these facts are the only part of his whole letter that are accurate.

Mr. Houts writes that, at Normandy in 1944, "we first fight Hitler's Nazi Germany and seek to protect those who have been mercilessly attacked and cannot protect themselves." He then complains that people can see the justification for World War II but consider the war in. Iraq unjust. Actually, U.S. forces first fought German forces in North Africa in 1942. And the reason the U.S. entered the war was because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, not out of pity for the Jews in Europe. So what exactly is the similarity between U.S. involvement in WWII and the recent war in Iraq? Even if the sole justification for the war had been Saddam Hussein's slaughter of his own people (and it most certainly wasn't), it would still bear little resemblance to WWII. •

and the NAACP and their refusal to say "Forget racism and just move on. Stay in oppression and let it keep you going." Is Mr. Hours, seriously suggesting that if we ignore racism it will go away? Tharwhen African Americans, or Arabs, or Native Americans, or any other person is discriminated against or harassed or treated unfairly because of their race, they should just move on and pretend like it didn't happen?

Is he suggesting that it would be better if they just went about their business and made the best of it instead of asking for fair treatment?

Funny, that sounds an awful lot like Nazi Germany for the Jews.

In conclusion, I am thoroughly confused by Mr. Houts' positions and contentions. I see no connection between the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict, the holocaust, racism in America, and the war in Iraq.

Ironically I am neither Jewish, German, Palestinian, Israeli, nor African American. I wouldn't say I understand where any of these groups have come from and how we should learn from them.

However, if I were going to write a letter to the editor pretending to understand them, I would at least check my facts.

Cadet Olympics test Broncho Battalion

by Megan Pfeiffer Broncho Battalion Sunshine fell as UCO's ROTC cadets converged on Wantland Sradiwn for their first ever Cadet Olympics. The Broncho Battalion gathered for an afternoon of competition ranging from sand bag and five-gallon water can relays, fireman's carry and first aid litter relays, to a football "punt pass and kick competition''.

Tammy Whitsett, Senior Psychology major said that the cadet Olympics were a "great way to show the younger cadets that leadership and teamwork are what we are about, mixed with a little bit of fun."

The Games soon were underway with the first test of teamwork, strength and coordination - the stretcher relay. Each team was to carry a "casualty" on the stretcher and sprint to the opposite goal line and back twice, in total two hundred yards. Casualties cheered on their fellow cadets as they stormed the filed.

There was a "Fireman's carry" event which tested even the strongest trust among participants. Cadets carried fellow teammates over their shoulders and raced out the 30-yard line and

back in what resembled a scene from Forest Gump. Later, cadets were given dummy grenades with which each class threw as many as they could into a circle radius forty yards further down the field.

Perhaps most memorable is the American classic Dizty Bat Relay'.

Dizzy cadets were running every which way, falling on the ground and laughing as they tried to make it back to their line to allow another competitor to go. One MS I cadet remembered, "It was a weird feeling.

I got turned around somehow and ended up in the stands instead of the end zone."

All in all, the games were a fantastic way for Broncho Battalion to start off their spring semester. Cadets had a great time while working on trust, team building and physical fitness.

The games concluded with the BI-annual awards ceremony, which honors those cadets, which have distinguished themselves as scholars, athletes and leaders. The cadets gathered in a box formation at the 50 yard-line, but before the Olympic winners were announced, other awards were presented. Captain Western awarded patches for Physical Fitness Excellence and tabs to the

members of the elite Ranger Challenge team to wear on their uniforms.

"The awards ceremony following the Olympics gave cadets something to look forward to in the funire," said Rikki Opperman, general studies senior.

Although ARMY ROTC is known for producing strong, physically, fit individuals academics is also a major part of the program and recruiting process. Some of UCO's outstanding students were rewarded for their excellent academic achievement.

Three MS IV cadets were honored as U.S Army Distinguished Military Graduates for excellence in physical fitness, academics and effective leadership experience. These top cadets include Cadet Brandon Motte (Armored Cavalry), Cadet Nicolas Guillet (Infantry), and Cadet James Dailey (Aviation). This award will follow them throughout their careers as they are commissioned as army officers this May. The Seniors' MS IV class was announced the winner of the First Annual Broncho Battalion Cadet Olympics.

Oklahoma State improved their record to 17-2 overall and 7-1 in the conference. Their only conference loss came courtesy of the Red Raiders from Texas Tech.

OU's next opponent is a Texas Tech team who was able to thump them earlier in the season.

Bob Knight is building a solid ball club down in Lubbock; they have a pretty good shot at success in the tournament this year. Despite the controversy that looms around Bob Knight, he has been given a bad rap over the years. The man throws a chair one time and everyone goes to his games expecting something big to happen. The man has a temper. SO WHAT? The most recent topic of discussion was his argument with the chancellor. Now there's a great deal of speculation about him continuing his tenure at Texas Tech. It would be a shame for Tech to lose such a great coach because he and the chancellor aren't on the best terms. What is of greater importance? Winning or clashing personalities?

Just so everyone knows, I'm a huge Texas Tech fan. So, plan on reading a lot about the Red Raiders if you want to read this column. If you like OU this probably isn't the column for you unless you enjoy me berating them. If you're an OSU fan give it a read. I have sympathy for you. I know what it's like to be the often forgotten school in the state. Anyone else, just tune in for a good read.

Have you ever noticed the overwhelming preference for the University of Oklahoma rather than Oklahoma State? They even put the tune to Boomer Sooner in the song "Oklahoma". It's true, just listen to the end. Every car commercial is using the Sooners to peddle their product. It amazed me to see all the OU flags that were everywhere when they won the 2000 National Championship.

It just so happens that the Cowboys are having a pretty good basketball season so far. OU, on the other hand, is having a bit of an up and down season. Sunday's loss to Texas was a bit of an embarrassment to the Sooners. Texas throttled the Sooners by holding them to 20 points in the first half, and just 17 in the second half. OU was just 1 of 21 from beyond the arc for the game and only 26 percent shooting from the field. Texas held the edge in nearly every statistical category.

OSU had a very productive day Saturday against Iowa State. They defeated the Cyclones 88-67 and put on a shooting clinic hitting 63 percent of their shots throughout the game.

UCO drops to 0-6 in LSC North

by Brandon Chatmon

Woods cut the lead to two at 65-63 with another lay-up with 1:46 remaining but the Bulldogs pulled away down the stretch taking the 77-69 win.

"Turnovers down the stretch made the difference against Southwestern, we had two turnovers late in the game (which they scored off of)," said Keely.

Woods led UCO with 25 points, while Brown dropped 15 and added 5 assists.

Central dropped to 0-5 in the LSC North on Feb. 5, losing to Cameron 70-58 at Aggie Gym in Lawton.

The contest was close early as the score was tied at 12 with 13:37 left in the first half after a lay-up from Lindsey Smith.

UCO went on a 6-0 run to grab the 18-12 lead after a trey from Smith with 11:54 left.

CU fought back to tie the score at 20 after two free throws from Kimberle Woods with 9:14 remaining. Over the next four minutes of play, the Aggies went on a 9-0 run to grab the 29-20 advantage.

The Bronchos scrapped their way back, going on a 7-0 run to cut the CU lead to 46-43 after a Lindsey Wilson trey with 13:54 remaining in the contest.

The Aggies refused to give up the lead, going on a 12-2 run to extend the lead to 58-45 with 9:26 remaining.

UCO responded cutting the lead to six at 58-52 after a Kari Edge jumper with 7:50 left. That was as close as the Bronchos would get, as CU regained control of the contest pulling away to take the 70-58 victory.

UCO had a rough shooting night, hitting 35% (21-of-60) from the field. The Bronchos were outrebounded 43-31 in the paint.

"Our 35% shooting decided the game, we had only eight turnovers. It has been shooting most of the year for us. We have gotten good shots, we just haven't made them," said Keely.

Smith paced the Bronchos with 23 points, while Edge was the only other Broncho in double-figures with 10.

Central travels to LSC North-leading East Central (118, 5-1) with a record of 6-15 overall and 0-6 in the LSC North.

The Central women's basketball team's losing streak continued last week, as they lost to Cameron and Southwestern Oklahoma.

"We'll need to play the full 40 minutes to help us start pulling these games our down the stretch. We've had some games that we didn't play the full 40 minutes and lost in the last few minutes," said Head Coach John Keely.

In a back-and-forth affair highlighted by 12 lead changes, the Bronchos couldn't come up with the big plays down the stretch as SWOSU (8-10 overall, 2-3 in the North) defeated UCO 77-69.

Neither team came out hitting shots, resulting in a 10-6 Lady Bulldog advantage with five minutes elapsed.

UCO rallied cutting it to two at 16-14 with 10:48 left after a three-pointer from Lindsey Smith and a trey from April Woods.

The game remained close throughout the first half with the score tied at 22 with 4:49 remaining. SWOSU grabbed the slim 29-27 advantage at the break.

Bronchos tied for 2nd in North

by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor With a sweep of two LSC North games last week, the Central men's basketball team improved to 4-2 in the division and moved into a tie for second place in the North title race.

In a critical LSC North battle, the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team defeated Southwestern Oklahoma State, 72-64 on Feb. 7 at the Hamilton Field House.

"They are ranked fifth in our region, a possible playoff team and our guys felt like we should be (up) there (with them) so they came out with a purpose," said Head Coach Terry Evans.

Calvin 011ie set the tone on the first SWOSU possession of the game as he pinned LSC player of the week Jamaal Shell's dunk attempt against the backboard.

011ie continued to control the lane in the early minutes making his territory "where layups go to die", with multiple rejections of Bulldog lay-ups in the first five minutes.

011ie's effort sparked a 7-0 Broncho run to start the game, leading to a 12-6 UCO lead with 14:50 remaining in the first half.

"He did a good job of post doubling on (Lee J.) Kirkpatrick and his blocks were big, his five blocks probably saved us 10 points," said Evans regarding 011ie's performance.

The teams played even over the next five minutes as UCO maintained the six-point advantage at 20-12 with 9:45 left.

UCO's defense turned up the heat, using great doubleteam pressure on Kirkpatrick.

Forcing the Bulldogs top post threat into several turnovers in the first half.

Keeping a consistent sixpoint lead, UCO held the comfortable advantage until the Bulldogs went on a late first half run cutting the Broncho advantage to one at 31-30 heading into the locker room.

UCO still held the narrow advantage at 38-37 with 14:11 left in regulation after two Deshone Henderson lay-ups.

Realizing LSC North positioning was at stake, both teams turned up their physical play in the second half of play. The referees let both teams play physical gaining both coaches wrath throughout much of the half.

With 9:25 left and a 47-45 Broncho advantage, Terry McVay began to go to work on the Bulldog defense. McVay broke down SWOSU's defense off the dribble several times creating lay-ups and free throw opportunities.

McVay's strong play helped UCO to a 61-56 lead with 3:24 left after a Craig Wrice threepointer.

Kentrell Gaddis followed with a trey of his own to extend the Broncho lead to 64-56. The Bronchos hit their free throws down the stretch to cement the

UCO's defensive was stellar score at 76 following two Wrice forcing 17 turnovers and 33.9% free throws.

With the score knotted at shooting, while blocking nine shots (five by 011ie).

"We played good defense, we held them to 34% from field.

Even though it was a slow tempo, we forced 17 turnovers," said Evans.

On Feb. 5, the Bronchos rallied from a 22-point deficit in the first half to beat Cameron, 87-81 at Aggie Gym in Lawton.

"We had a little motivational talk at half. I felt like we weren't playing hard. We came out in the second half and stepped up our intensity defensively and held them to 27.3% shooting in the second half," said Evans.

The game was knotted at 13 with 16:13 left in the first half after a trey from Wrice.
