Central to begin globalization program

Student group offers whites-only scholarship BRISTOL, R.I. (AP) _ A student group at Roger Williams University is offering a new scholarship for which only white students are eligible, in a move they say is designed to protest affirmative action. The application for the $250 award requires an essay on "why you are proud of your white heritage" and a recent picture to "confirm whiteness." "Evidence of bleaching will disqualify applicants," says the application, issued by the university's College Republicans.

A globalization program will begin in the fall semester of 2004 to allow Central students an opportunity to expand their understanding of different cultures while attending UCO. "Each semester will be focused on a country or culture," said Brent Wendling, coordinator of the globalization program. Wendling said the first of the series will be an Italian semester in the fall with bi-weekly activities on earnpus. "There will be operas, plays, film festivals and lectures on culture, politics and architecture," Wending said.

"We got our ideas from Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, Missouri, who has a federally funded program," Wendling said. Dr. Don Betz, provost and vice president of AcademicAffais, initiated the program and modeled it after MSSU. "This program is a part of our overall commitment to preparing students to be in an interdependent globalized world," Betz said. Trips in the spring and summer semester to the cultures or countries that have been studied will also be an option, he said. "Students should look forward to

the activities and to talking with faculty about the cultures and ideas of the country," he said. The goal for this new program is "to help everyone be in an environment that focuses on a large picture of the world," Wendling said. As a part of the globalization program, Central's Biology Department is sponsoring a trip for students to study abroad in Costa Rica for four weeks this summer. Students will have the opportunity to study the rain forest, an active volcano, mountain cloud forests and tropical beaches, said Dr. Clark Ovrebo, the biology professor who

will be leading the trip. This summer intersession course fulfills the general education requirement for Biology 1214 and is set from July 26 through Aug. 20, 2004. "We're targeting the younger, non-major students," Ovrebo said. "Students with freshman or sophomore status in good standing will be given first priority." Students will live with a Costa Rican family and experience true Latin American food, music and culture, Ovrebo said. Central students will use the facilities of the Technological Institutes of Costa Rica in Cartago, Costa Rica.

Wellesley students pull all-tighter to read Shakespeare

by Stephanie Johnson

It could turn out to be "The Comedy of Errors," but "All's Well That Ends Well," and the Wellesley College Shakespeare Society is emphatically optimistic. The 126-year-old drama group with a soft spot for the legendary playwright William Shakespeare has organized a marathon to read the entire Complete Works of Shakespeare in 24 hours. Unabridged. Though the exact number of works in Shakespeare's canon has been disputed, the reading will include 39 plays, 154 sonnets and at least five poems from sunset on Sunday to sunset on Monday. "You look at all of those books for the Complete Works of Shakespeare. All of it in 24 hours, it just seems absurd but really fantastic that it actually can happen," said Rebecca Kayes, a freshman member of the society at the allwomen's college outside Boston. The group checked out more than 200 copies of Shakespeare books at a local public library. Members are soliciting help from professors, friends and any interested volunteers to help out.

College students common recruits for medical testing INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 19-year-old woman who committed suicide this month while participating in an Eli Lilly and Co. drug trial was among the hundreds of college students recruited to become human research subjects. Although it is uncertain how many college students offer themselves for the tests, they are exposed on their campuses to notices for the thousands of ongoing research projects via emails, Web sites, fliers and word of mouth. Traci Johnson, a former student at Indiana Bible College in Indianapolis, was one of 25 local healthy volunteers taking higher-thannormal doses of duloxetine, a compound developed by Lilly to treat incontinence and depression. She hanged herself Feb. 7 at Lilly's hotel-like research lab at the Indiana University Medical Center on the IUPUI campus. Some question whether college students, often short of money, are mature enough to fully understand the risks of such medical tests.

"Our goal for this trip is to learn basic biological principles, but to expand our ideas about the world and expose students to an intemational experience," Ovrebo said. Angela Cope, a speech pathology sophomore, said that she had tried to take biology in the classroom and the classroom setting didn't work for her. "I've always wanted to study abroad, and this would be handson," Cope said. "This trip will be a once-in-a-life'time chance, and it will help get me college credit," said Brandon Thompson, a forensic science freshman.

Arts education center to partner with county schools UCO's Oklahoma Center for Arts Education and A+ Schools will team with McCurtain County schools to combine arts with other classroom subjects. by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer Central-based Oklahoma Center for Arts Education and A+ Schools will join forces with the school districts in McCurtain County to increase professional development in its teachers and administration. Fourteen Oklahoma teachers with expertise in teaching arts integration will visit McCurtain County Feb. 16. Pre-K through fifth grade teachers and some secondary teachers, will work with over 375 classroom teachers, principals, superintendents and board of education members in how to implement an arts integration program in their schools. John Clinton, executive director of OCAE, said that the program is designed to merge the arts with other classroom subjects. Arts integration has been a hot topic for about 30 years

but has had a limited audience. One reason is because there was not enough sufficient research and proof that arts integration was one of the keys to learning. "Some teachers think, 'Why would I want to stop teaching my science class and teach art?' Well you wouldn't. You want to integrate these things," Clinton said. It takes a significant amount of training. for nonarts teachers to learn how to teach arts integration. Clinton said he expects to have a positive impact in helping teachers see how this process works. "We give ideas and collaborate," he said. Currently, OCAE has ongoing research with A+ Schools and will continue that process. "There will be some schools that latch onto this quickly and for some it will take two or three years," Clinton said. "I believe the arts have a

place in every aspect of life."' The Oklahoma Center for Arts Education is a statewide program established by UCO. Three . years ago UCO established the College of Art Media & Design and, at that time, the DaVinci Institute was trying to get A+ Schools started. "UCO stepped forward and said, "We would like to have a center for arts education." We think A+ Schools can work in tandem so let's put it here, said Clinton. A+. Schools was modeled after a program in North Carolina, an initiative of the Kenan Institute of the Arts, and currently' has 19 schools under the provost. So, UCO will be responsible for both of these programs. What OCAE is interested in is high quality high, standard arts programs. "If you go into a school and treat music, art, theatre or dance as a cute or clever thing with no substance, curriculum "

or skills to be learned you are going to get exactly what you put into it," Clinton said. OCAE is developing partnerships with the Oklahoma Arts Institute, Circle for Arts Education and the Alliance for Arts Education. The Circle for Arts Education is a non-profit organization that works with businesses of Oklahoma to help them understand the importance of arts education in public schools as it relates to economics. The Alliance for Arts Education is an advocacy group for arts education and associated with the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. OCAE and the three other groups work together to provide the best information and strategies for continuing and implementing arts education in Oklahoma. The advisory board meetings for OCAE meet once every three months. The members include art teachers, busi-

ness leaders, and members of the Oklahoma Arts Council and Department of Education. There job is to try and see OCAE provides the best professional development, what can be done to advocate for the arts most effectively, what can be done to develop arts education programs. Currently, a research learning center is being developed. People will be able to come and archive all of the best research through the center. OCAE has to raise money for all of the developing that should be done in a short period of time, but it's a critical part of the OCAE goal to help best serve art education. Clinton said, "We are becoming a place where people are saying, 'We need to go there to plug everything together'."

Language requirement just makes sense For years, we have heard about how necessary it is for students of ourgeneration to learn a second or even third language. As we walk around campus and through the Nigh University, we hear languages of each and every kind – languages from Africa, from Asia, from Europe, from Latin American countries... And for the past four years, the College of Liberal Arts and its dean, Dr. Tim Baughman, have worked to mandate two semesters of second language for all degree programs. And, finally, it will be included in the degree requirements for Liberal Arts majors entering the university. Americans are less likely than citizens of other countries to be fluent in more than one language. In other nations, students entering institutions of higher education are already fluent in multiple languages.

While implementing a program that will introduce second languages to such a large portion of our university is a huge step for this university, such a requirement should not be limited to students of the College of Liberal Arts. A second language is as fundamental, if not more so, for all students as the already required College Algebra 1513 and General Biology 1114 classes. With students on this campus representing 101 different countries, we are already in the most diverse classroom. But for those looking for a more traditional form of learning, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Sanskrit, Latin and Japanese classes are available to students of all backgrounds and majors. We should take advantage of the time we have on campus to learn these diverse languages and to celebrate them.

pushes it a little further than Pitt with his portrayal of gonzo journalists Hunter S. Thompson and drug runner George Jung. Ability and willingness to attack diverse characters – both good and bad – stacks up in the Cult of Cool Pitt's got "12 Monkeys," "Snatch," and "True Romance" under his belt to prove his versatility. The most versatile of all, though, is Depp. "Ed Wood," "Blow," "From Hell," and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Enough said. But the Cult of Cool doesn't define who is the coolest just by the movies these men are in. No, it looks at other things as well. For starters, Cruise loses cool points by being a poster boy for Scientology. The Cult of Cool might look past something like an endorsement for shoes or a mega-food chain. Key word is 'might.' But it's difficult to look past the endorsement of a sham whether it's intentional or not. He was married to Nicole Kidman, and made out with Kelly McGillis in Top Gun. Two thumbs up. Other than that, this old vanguard of the heartthrob actors lacks most of the qualities the Cult of Cool considers 'cool.' Detachment. Detachment is one of the things that makes these guys cooler than most of the people on this planet. Again, Cruise falls short. He seems too eager. Too eager to wear designer labels or too eager to act in epic

Heart of the American Dream

with Gavin Etriott The Cult of cool Tom Cruise vs. Brad Pitt vs. Johnny Depp Who wins? Who is the coolest? Back in '86 if I would've been asked this question, the winner would have been Maverick. Hands down. Nothing beats a loose cannon Tomcat pilot. But in '90, the gap between the cool had narrowed. Cruise with "Days of Thunder," and Depp with "Edward Scissorhands." Apples and oranges, I know, but there exists an empirical quality in both that rises above the rest. And what about Pitt? Well, he hadn't yet cut his teeth in the world of film until '92. Actually, before then...but nothing really worth mentioning until "Cool World" where he co-starred alongside hot cartoon women. That was cool. Cruise became somewhat typecast after "Cocktail," always the 'hero' in a sense – the one you're always rooting for and hoping he pulls through. Of course there are some exceptions, as is . always the case, but c'mon...is he too good for another movie of the same caliber as "Risky Business?" Depp and Pitt on the other hand, slide back and forth between roles, playing less than admirable roles. Depp

movies. Whatever it is, this eagerness detracts from his overall potential of cool. Depp's detachment has gone so far as to take him to live in the South of France with French pop star, Vanessa Pardis. Who's heard of her? And when he got arrested at the Mark Hotel for socking a vase across the lobby...yeah...that was cool too. And so, if it isn't clear who the coolest of the cool is, it's Johnny Depp. Tom Cruise seems too involved in playing the part, lost his roots. Brad Pitt just isn't detached enough. And Johnny lives by the aesthetic, "The weirder, the better."

Along with theory on children's development comes the studio component of the class, which the scribble drawings fall under.

"Through researching I have found that people are actually starting to teach young children -how to_ play. I don't know whether it's too Much technology or what, but there is merit in teaching children how to play," Cromer said. Cromer said values the importance of arts integration into the basic curriculum.

"Art can help teach history, and history can help teach art — it is a two-way street," Cromer said. All the students developed stories for the scribble assignment that were highly original, Cromer said, and some stories helped children learn how to count or learn the alphabet. The stories have a direct application into the classroom because the stories tie in with reading, children's literature, math and English. From this exercise students learned the application of an integrated curriculum., Cromer said, "Art is a separate viable discipline. It's not just a support for other disciplines — that's a strength it has. Done well, it's really quite impressive, and it's exciting to see the arts used in this respect."

`Living' lab to enhance sciences by Stephanie Johnson Staff Writer A new "living" laboratory will provide an opportunity for Central students to learn about astronomy, cave biology and archeology. The Selman Living Laboratory is a 334acre prairie land in Woodward County obtained by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Bill Caire, dean of the College of Math and Science, said that he wrote the grant eight or nine months ago and received the money to purchase Selman's land. From this grant, UCO received 320 acres of mixed-grass prairie surrounding numerous caves and an access road, Caire said. Four acres were also donated later for astronomy facilities and "an additional ten acres for future buildings," he said. The SLL is working with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to better preserve the lab's land. The Astronomy Consortium at the lab is among a high status of top universities like

the University of Hawaii, the University of California and Northwestern Oklahoma State University, Caire said. He said the astronomy lab received donations of an Observa-Dome from Oklahoma City University and a reflecting telescope from Leonardo's Center in Enid. Caire said that the SLL could be used for more than just science purposes. "One of the goals (for the living laboratory) is education through biology, art, photography, writing, community service groups and teachers work shops," Caire said. "This can be used for classes for anyone K-12 all the way to graduate school and universities," Caire said. "The SLL can be used for public groups too." The lab is open with no charge for "organizations and groups," he said. Cost waivers are set up at the dean's office. The lab's location is an advantage because it is "centrally located for visits from other parts of the country and has an absence of large city light pollution for sky watching," Caire said.

The weekly activities raised $400 dollars that will be donated to the House Ear Institute and Gallaudet University, which is also sponsored by the Delta Zeta Foundation. This is the first speech and hearing impaired philanthropy week, but it will become an annual event, Brooks said. "A lot of people came by to get information," Brooks said.

Caire said that the lab is environmentally different from all other outdoor living laboratories and field stations because of its different characteristics. "The SLL site was formerly part of the historic Selman Ranch, originally homesteaded in the early 1900s," Caire said.

His classic compositions include "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life?: "The Windmills of Your Mind," "How Do You Keep the MusicPlaying?" and the Academy Award-winning score from the movie "Yentl." "Michel Legrand's music is so distinctive and haunting...it has alwaysstuck with me," said White, who also heads the music theatre program atUCO.

"As I was making lists of songs I'd like to use in future Jazz Lab shows, I realized how many of his songs I had included in the mix. So, I decided to share his work through a tribute to his music." White's musical revues have quickly become a popular tradition at the Jazz Lab. Past revues include a tribute to Burt Bacharach's music along with the Lab's annual Christmas Show.

In the 165 lb. match, senior Shawn Silvis grapples with UNK's Aaron Dalton Feb. 6 in Hamilton Field House. The Bronchos won the duel 39-3.

Central wrestling dominates UNK

by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer The No. 2-ranked UCO wrestling squad steam-rolled No. 15 Nebraska-Kearney 39-3 after losing the first match of the night Feb. 12 at Hamilton Field House. Central started things off with a loss at 125 lbs. as No. 2-ranked Bryce Abbey defeated Chris Saferite 7-2 before the Bronchos rolled to nine straight victories and the win. "Their guy at 125 was ranked second in the nation but I just didn't feel like we did a lot to win that match," James said. The Bronchos, who split five • matches apiece with the Lopers in a 26-15 win at the NWCA National Duels on Jan. 17, managed to reverse four of those five decisions in the rout to improve to 14-3 on the season. "There was some concern going into this match after our last duel with UNK in Ohio," said James. "But we managed to turn four of

those five losses around and I was very pleased with our performance. It was really a great effort all around." Top-ranked and three-time national champion Cole Province turned the score around quick for the Bronchos at 133 getting two takedowns in the final 30 seconds to secure an 11-3 major decision over No. 6 Adam Keiswetter. It was Province's twentieth straight victory keeping him on pace for a fourth national title. Wade Bramlitt reversed his earlier season loss to Matt True at 141 with a takedown in the final five seconds to secure a 12-8 win: Bramlitt had lost 12-10 in the two teams' first meeting. Central's Jerod Goodwin had a first-period takedown hold up for a 3-2 win at 149 and Shea Timothy scored a 12-0 major decision after nearly six minutes of riding time in his first match back in the lineup after a month layoff.

Goodwin's major decision started the steamroller going followed by two-time national champion Shawn Silvis getting four • near-falls on his way to a 16-0 technical fall at 5:57. Jason Tapia pinned Caleb Young in only 1:27 at 174 for his fifteenth fall of the season and Bryan Tapley had three takedowns and three near-falls as he beat up on Zac Rice in route to a 17-2 technical fall at 184. No. 3 Kevin Lochner broke a 2-2 tie with an escape early in the final period before holding on for a 3-2 upset of No. 2-ranked Jeff Sylvester to reverse another loss from the Bronchos first meeting with UNK. The Bronchos' heavyweight Chris Finn then finished the steam-rolling by pinning Donnie Moravec in the first period at 2:42. Central wraps up its duel season Saturday at 2 p.m. when Southern Illinois-Edwardville comes to Hamilton Field House.

Bronchos win in OT by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The Central Oklahoma men's basketball team hit 5-of7 shots in overtime cap a improbable comeback to defeat Southeastern Oklahoma State 76-74 on Feb. 14 at Bloomer Sullivan Gym in Durant. The Savages (11-11 overall, 3-4 in LSC North) held a seven-point cushion with 1:05 left before Matt Bailey hit a three-pointer to cut the lead to four. After two SOSU free throws, Terry McVay buried a trey to cut it to 59-57. Deshone Henderson was fouled as he rebounded a missed free throw and hit both freebies to cut the lead to one.

SOSU's Eric Babers hit two free throws to give the Savages a three-point lead with 18 seconds left. Henderson came down and buried a threepointer to tie the contest at 62. Clint Baker was fouled as SOSU inbounded the ball and Baker hit two free throws that appeared to cement the win. But Henderson was fouled as he put up a three-point attempt with one second left. The 6'4" junior hit two-ofthree to send the contest into overtime. It was a close battle throughout as the lead changed 10 times and the score was tied six times in the game. UCO hit 50% of their shots in the first half as they

grabbed a slim 26-25 lead heading into the locker room. The Bronchos defense was solid, holding SOSU to 41.4% from the field. The Savages used 20 UCO turnovers leading to 18 points to stay in the contest. Freshman Jason Stampley lead the Savages with 21 points. McVay led UCO with 21 points while Henderson added 15. Reggie Paul snatched a team-high 9 rebounds while adding 9 points. Poor shooting hampered the Bronchos in a 77-71 • loss to East Central in Ada on Feb. 12. UCO hit only 23-of-67 field goal attempts and 7-of27 from beyond the arc in the game.

ECU's Darren Randall was stellar, dropping 30 points on 11-of-17 shooting while grabbing 10 boards. The Tigers shot the ball well hitting 50.9% of their shots and 33.3% from the three-point line. ECU hit 15-of-30 field goals in the first 20 minutes as they grabbed the 35-30 lead at the break.

Kyle Nevels leads the Bronchos to a 11-0 win over

Bronchos dominate USAO

by Micah Gamino Sports Writer Three-time defending Lone Star Conference North Division champion Central Oklahoma began its 2004 regular season with an 11-0 trampling of Science and Arts of Oklahoma Feb. 11 at Broncho Field. The No. 10-ranked Bronchos, who lost twice to USAO durihg the regular season last year, showed real determination in out hitting the Drovers 16-2 on their way to ending the game on a 10run rule in the eighth inning. Kyle Nevels, expected to lead this year's Broncho pitching staff, gave up only two hits and stuck out eight in the first five innings on his way to his first win of the new season while junior Jake Mays and sophomore Chris Elam spearheaded the offense. "I was really pleased with our pitching," UCO head coach Wendell Simmons said. "Nevels had a good outing and

Elam really had some good at bats:: Elam and Mays had three hits apiece while newcomer Trey Weaver went 2 for 3 with four RBIs to lead the offense. Nevels single-handedly saved a 3-0 Broncho lead in the top of the when he struck out two and forced out another with the bases loaded and no outs to get out of the inning. "We had some great defensive play for the first game," added Simmons. The Bronchos coasted to victory from there scoring four runs on six hits in the fifth to pull away to 7-0. Weaver, who started in left field, had a tworun single in the inning while Mays and Chad Fleming added RBI hits. The Bronchos added a run in the sixth before two homeruns in the eighth by Drew Bowers and newcomer Mark Williams, in his first at bat as a Broncho, completed the run rule.

Coaches Corner with 3o axon Are elite High School Football players ready for the League? Please... The National Basketball Association allows,High School players to skip College and enter the draft; the same is true about Major League Baseball. I don't agree with this rule because I feel that prep stars need a few years to mature mentally before they become "Role Models" of the youth of today. In the case of the NFL we have the Maurice Clarett rule and rumors of High School kids skipping college for the league? Don't be fooled! A 18-year old player isn't mature enough physically, or emotionally to take on a NFL player. Can you imagine a young man trying to block Warren Sapp, or cover Terrell Owens? GET REAL! WAKE UP! It is hard enough to play college football as a true freshmen, forget about the league. This topic was brought to me by several of you because you wanted to know if some of the freshman we signed would become instant starters? We as a staff feel we have signed some incredibly talented .

players who will be great players in the future, we just don't know if that future is now. For example, we signed two outstanding freshman tailbacks this year but look at our current tailbacks we have on the team going through spring ball. Jarrod Manoy (6'0" 2451bs) is the returning starter. Malloy rushed for 1304 yards with 15 touchdowns last season. With the additions of the bruising Darnell Sims (6'1" 2801bs) and the speedy Kevin McKenzie (5'10" 1801bs) we don't have too many questions as to who will carry the "Rock" in the fall. Football isn't a finesse sport; Football is violent and very physical. High School kids shouldn't try and become the LeBron James of football, just wait your turn and live in the weight room. Thursday we will talk about day one of spring practice, which is today. As always feel free to E Mail me jnixon2@ucok.edu and we can talk ball.

Just when we thought it was finally over, an Alex Rodriguez trade is once again in the works. The Red Sox are kicking themselves because their archrival Yankees have again dipped into the talent pool and pulled out one of the biggest trades in baseball history. The Yankees entered negotiations last week to acquire A-Rod to replace Aaron Boone at third base. The Red Sox had almost secured the upper hand against the Yankees. They have one of the best pitching staffs in the league, and easily one of the best offenses imaginable. When acquiring Kenny Lofton, the Yankees failed to pay enough attention to their own pitching staff and lost Andy Pettitte to the. Houston Astros. The Astros may actually gain the help of a retired Yankee that some may remember, Roger Clemens. The Red Sox were singing victory and the Yankees bring out this blockbuster trade. Not only will the Yankees get last year's MVP, but they also put an end to the singing in Boston. Now all that remains is regret for not keeping ARod for themselves and an overwhelming troubled silence. First they give New York "the Babe" and now they let them get hold of A-Rod. The trade also may finally give the Rangers a break. By starting the talk with the Red Sox they

Wagnon made it virtually impossible for Alex to come back and be happy in Texas. They were initially trying to get rid of him because he was a financial burden, despite his ability as a baseball player. After the Boston deal fell through they named Alex team captain in an effort to mend fences, but now he's gone and those fences don't exist anymore. Texas receives Alfonso Soriono and a player to be named later in the deal, as well as a little financial relief. The Yankees on the other hand, get Alex Rodriguez and take on most of his salary. I don't think the Yankees will lose too much sleep over his salary; they do have the highest payroll in the league. Did we really think the Yankees didn't have something up their sleeve in the battle to remain the "Evil Empire?" Oh yeah, what they have is a huge wad of cash and an egomaniac for an owner. Steinbrenner, the Yankees owner, was bound to try to pull off something huge to leave the rest of the league spinning. Oh yeah, by the way, the NBA All Star Weekend was last weekend. Who cares? Without LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony it wasn't worth watching. The All Star Game is for the fans. Let us see who we want to see! Well that's just how it is, and if you don't like it...write a letter to the editor!

Softball opens regular season against Langston by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer The UCO softball team hosts Langston today in a doubleheader to open the 2004 regular season on Broncho Field at 2 p.m. The Bronchos are looking to reclaim a spot atop the Lone Star Conference North Division as well as return to the NCAA Division II playoffs. A preseason poll released by the league office Tuesday Jan. 13 has the Bronchos ranked No. 2 in the LSC North having received 2-of- 16 first place votes and a comfortable 12-point lead over the third place team. "I think that No. 2 is a fair spot for us," said head coach Genny Honea. "With the new players we have and the veterans I think we should be a least in the top three." Eight starters return from last year's 17-29-1 team, which finished third in the LSC North with a .447 winning percentage. Honea, in her sixth year as head coach of the Bronchos softball program, returns as the only coach in Bronchos' softball history with an LSC championship (1998) and an NCAA Division II playoff appearance (2002). A trio of returning AllLSC North Division players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; senior outfielder

think that No. 2 is a fair spot for us. With the new players we have and the veterans I think we should be a least in the top three." â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Head Coach Genny Honea

baseman Lauren Moore, will anchor the Bronchos this year. Vandever returns as the leading hitter from a year ago with a .292 batting average. She was the only first-team All-LSC pick last year as the utility player after starting mostly at shortstop but is expected to move back to the outfield. Shortstop will be occupied by one of the program's star newcomers in Putnam City West standout Stacy Walden, who was a three-year starter at shortstop for the Lady Patriots earning Alternate All-State honors her senior year. "Stacy is going to be our shortstop and she brings a good speed to our lineup," said Honea.

Another rookie expected to have a big impact is Jodi Craig, who should take over starting duties at third base. "Jodi is an excellent hitter," Honea said. "She brings power and I expect her to hit in our three-hole spot, which is where I like to put our power hitter." Miller will be moving to second base, left vacant by honorable mention AllLSC Jordan Wheeler, after spending the past three seasons in the hot corner. "I think (Miller) will make an all-conference second baseman," said Honea. "I really think she will make the transition that well." Senior pitcher Falon Barnes, senior outfielder Kara Wentworth, junior pitcher Jamie Schiedt, sophomore pitcher Jordan Akin and sophomore outfielder Lindsay Tripp round out Central's returning starters. Honea believes, "Defense should be our strong point and our hitting is looking real good too, since that is all we have been able to do with the field being wet and under some construction." The Bronchos return junior catcher Courtney Cole who sat out last year after handling the receiving duties the previous two seasons.
