GM worker now a fulltime student after layoff Taking advantage of labor union's safety net, jobs bank'

by Alex Gambill Staff Writer

A General Motors Corp. autoworker became a full-time student after Oklahoma City's plant closed Feb. 20.

Russell Dearing, industrial safety senior, 55-year-old exGM employee, has been going to UCO on and off since 1991.

Since GM is restructuring and laying people off, Dearing said, the United Auto Workers labor union and GM created a safety net program for employees called -jobs bank."

Jobs bank, created in the mid 1980s, gives union members the opportunity to go to school fulltime, do community service or just clock with no work to do.

"With the jobs bank program we are able to go to school and get paid for it," Dearing said.

Dearing said he is receiving 85 percent of his normal weekly pay through the program. Dearing said jobs bank will last until Sept. 2007, but he speculates it will be renewed.

Dearing worked for 27 years and only needed three more years to qualify for full retirement benefits.

"The reason that I'm going to school is to get a degree and to just improve my skills through education," Dearing said. "Like

Sen. Coburn attends town hall meeting at UCO

by Desiree Treeby Staff Writer

More than 100 people attended the town hall meeting and question-andanswer session with Sen. Tom Coburn Feb. 24 in the Nigh University Center.

"It shows students on campus care about our representatives," said Arnie Mitchell, student senator of the College Republicans.

"We're gearing up for the next election cycle," said Dustin Gabus, the College Republicans' public relations director. "We're trying to reach everyone, not just one political party.

"My purpose for you is to help me,

help you in Washington," Coburn said.

Coburn's plans include putting a stop to earmarks, because he believes politicians pass bills they wouldn't normally pass because they're receiving appropriations that members of Congress give for special projects.

"Earmarks benefit the politician," Coburn said. , On the issue of taxes, Coburn said he government isn't spending its money wisely.

"Three hundred billion dollars is from people not paying taxes that should... $1.6 billion is food stamps fraud... and $6 billion is

maintaining government buildings that we don't use," Coburn said. "I'm not going to cut taxes without cutting from our waste, fraud and abuse spending.

We're taking away from our grandchildren."

An audience member asked him about working immigrants, and one of the first things Coburn mentioned was need to seal the border.

"There are 11 million illegal aliens,"

Coburn said.

He did say he is for an immigrantworker program.

"If they're here illegally, how can they respect our laws?" Coburn said.

Coburn said Social Security hasn't been fixed because, "We haven't had great leadership for the last 20 years."

He also spoke about putting a floor

New York Times editorial writer visits UCO for Democracy Day

affiliated with the American Democracy Project, an initiative for civic engagement among students.

"I'm always impressed at how much people don't understand what liberties they're entitled to," said panelist Dr. Jennifer Barger, assistant professor of business. "It's important for you to know and understand the rights you have. . .that the law and the Constitution provides us."

Dr. Mark Hanebutt, professor of journalism said, "The media isn't doing their job."

He said the job of the press is to report the news and question and monitor everyone.

"The dialog that our country needs, is to be asking `what happens when the press is more concerned with making a profit'," Hanebutt said.

"People have fallen down on their job, in my profession," Hanebutt said. "We aren't questioning or saying, 'lets look at what's really going on.'"

Cohen said the government does have a system of checks and balances, and citizens need to be aware of that. He referred to President Bush and the government saying they have the right of eavesdropping and wiretapping, only because it's wartime. In reality, Congress and the Supreme Court have the final say.

Cohen said that we need to "remember our rights are up to the three powers," not one.

Eavesdropping brought up the subject of weblogs, commonly known as blogs.

Cohen said that blogs help keep people honest including the media, because they give everyone the opportunity to monitor everyone.

Hanebutt related blogs to John Milton's saying, "that truth and falsehood should grapple in an open marketplace of ideas," but he said the problem with

Textbook prices continue to soar with no end in sight

by Courtney Bryce Managing Editor

The price of textbooks increases each year, forcing students to stretch their pocket books.

Brenda Raimondi, manager of Barnes & Noble College Booksellers in the Nigh University Center, said textbook publishers increase their prices every other semester.

She said the bookstore marks the textbooks up 25 to 30 percent from those prices.

Raimondi said this might be higher than other bookstores because a percentage of the store's profit goes back to UCO. Bettina Sparks, textbook manager of Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, said certain textbooks are priced higher because it costs more to keep them in stock.

"We have certain publishers that are high risk," Raimondi said. "If we don't sell the books they charge a restocking fee."

"I pay $2,000 on tuition and then $500 to $1,000 in books," said Shane Bacus, criminal justice sophomore. "That's too much money."

Bacus said he has compared online book prices with those at the bookstore.

"Usually, they're $10 to $20 cheaper," Bacus said.

Raimondi said it's difficult for the store to order textbooks from online sources, like Amazon. com .

"They don't have enough books," Raimondi said.

She said online sources will not take back books the store doesn't sell.

Jim McFarlin, store manager .of Thompson College Stores Inc. at 101 N. University Drive,

DEMOCRACY from page 1 blogs is we don't know where or what perspective they are coming from.

Pamela Fly, the associate dean of the College of Education

said the store marks textbooks up 20 to 23 percent.

"Most publishers have a suggested selling price," McFarlin said.

He said many publishers sell textbooks to the bookstores for 20 percent less than the suggested price. He said, for example, a publisher might suggest selling a textbook for $100 after selling it to the bookstore for $80.

McFarlin said he's been in the bookstore industry for six years. He said Thompson's was once the only bookstore for students back when UCO was called Central State College, about 70 years ago.

"It is a very low market, low profit industry," McFarlin said: "Whatever you make has to be made off of volume."

McFarlin said one problem bookstores face when selling textbooks is that publishers come out with new editions of their textbooks about every other semester.

"Who's the only competitor of the publisher?" McFarlin said. "It's the used book industry. The reaction publishers are having to the industry is to do everything they can to stop it."

Raimondi said coming out with a new edition is the publisher's way of banning used books.

"They only make money off new books," Raimondi said.

Dr. Stephen Garrison, English professor and co-author of several writing manuals on campus, said publishing companies have to frequently publish new editions just to stay in business.

"One of the problems is the fact that students sell back," Garrison said. "Nobody gets a profit except the bookstores."

and Professional Studies, asked the panel, "How do you draw the balance of younger people to question but still respect institution?"

"Young people are just gullible," said Dr. David Webb history professor, referring to his students. "It's not until they get

Garrison said students are willing to sell books back for a penance of what they are really worth.

"When the booksellers resale, they are selling the creation of the publisher," said Dr. Gregory Scott, chairman of the Department of Political Science and co-author with Garrison. " Publishers don't get money."

Scott said it is necessary to come out with new editions.

"Things change," Scott said. "In a writer's manual, for example, • citing and formats change. They need to be updated periodically."

Scott said introductory textbooks for subjects like Political Science are useless if they are three to four years old because they don't address what's going on in today's politics.

Raimondi and McFarlin said the two stores buy books back for half of what students buy them for, if the publisher hasn't come out with a new edition.

"If we're going to buy and resell here we give them half," Raimondi said.

Sparks said, however, that if the bookstore is reselling the book to a whole seller, the students receives less than half of what they paid.

"It's a misconception that all buy backs go back on the shelf," Sparks said.

Raimondi said the store ends up losing thousands of dollars each year because once a publisher comes out with a new edition, whole sellers won't buy the old edition back.

"Bookstores want to buy back from students," McFarlin said. "That's our best source, but we can't buy back what we can't use."

Brooke McGee, communications senior, said she usually

doesn't even get half of what she originally paid when she sells her books back.

"If I like the book I won't sell it back because I won't get anything back," McGee said.

"I have quite a collection of old textbooks."

McFarlin said many publishers will often find a way to package consumable items with textbooks, including CD ROMs and Internet access codes. He said representatives will often call and market those items to the professors in hopes that they will make the items a course requirement.

"Professors care about their students and they halfway care about the price," McFarlin said.

"They're just not informed. I blame the (publishing) industry for that."

McFarlin said students get stuck with textbooks they can't sell back at the end of the year because UCO requires the use of many custom published books.

"They (professors) are all using books that are specifically made for UCO," McFarlin said.

McFarlin said many professors publish or put together a book for a specific course they are teaching.

"The only place they'll be able to sale is to UCO students," McFarlin said.

McFarlin said the reason for this is that UCO is the only college that uses them because they were specifically made for UCO classes.

Scott said professors use custom made books so specific material can be taken from other textbooks that focus on what will be taught in their classes. He said he used a custom made book called, "Brief

older that they become more cynical."

"Professors should give students a greater nudge toward becoming engaged," Webb said.

"Our children are used to having authority; they're used to having someone tell them what to do," Hanebutt said.

He said children play sports at an early age, and therefore,

Government by the People" for two semestens.‘ "It was convenient and easy to do," Scott said.

He said the custom made b Soks are sometimes cheaper for the students than the entire textbook. He said students can sell back the custom made books as long as the course requiring it continues.

Scott said he frequently requires and often recommends in his classes "The Political Science Student Writer's Manual," which he co-authored with Garrison.

He said between the third and fifth editions of the book, he took out material to make the book cheaper for students.

McFarlin said he wishes publishers would come down on their prices, but that's unlikely to happen.

Garrison said books rise in price because it costs more to frequently come out with new editions.

"If you ask me who is at fault, I would say the bookstbre that buys the books back," Garrison said.

A "Conceptual Physical Science" book at Thompson's College Stores Inc. costs $113.60 new and $85.20 used.

The same book at Barnes & Noble College Bookstores costs $125 new and $93.75. The book costs $116.60 used and 67.50 used at Amazon.com .

Symphony to give preview of Carnegie performance

by Heather Warlick Staff Writer

The UCO Wind Symphony will perform at 7:30 p.m. March 2 in Mitchell Hall to present a preview of the concert they will play March 13 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

The Wind Symphony, conducted by music professor Dr. Brian Lamb, is comprised of 49 student musicians and features Russian pianist, Dr. Valery Kuleshov, artist-in-residence for the Music Department.

The Wind Symphony will play Stravinsky's "Concerto for Piano and Wind" in three movements, the second of which will feature Kuleshov.

"I was a little bit afraid because this Stravinsky piece is very difficult, but after the first rehearsal, it was so great," Kuleshov said, "They played so well. Not perfect, but really well. I have a recording with a famous Russian conductor and a famous Russian orchestra... terrible sound. I think this group sounds almost professional."

The group will stay in New York City for four days. The trip cost the students about $450 each. Various donors, along with the College of Arts Media & Design, the UCO Student Association, Academic Affairs and student fundraisers contributed financially to make the trip affordable to students.

"One of the artistic directors for the Mid American Concert Series heard a recording of our group from a composer in New York who turned in a piece of music he had written for us in a composition contest for the New York Composers Guild Competition," Lamb said.

"There are over 200 classical concerts a week in New York.

We would have more here if we haci more performance space."

The group will have several days free to enjoy New York City's attractions.

Kuleshov said he will Jaei spending most of his spare tiler preparing for several upcoming' concerts. Shortly after the group returns from New York, he will be headed to Sacramento, Calif. for two evenings of recitals.

"I am not really a career musician, I only think about music," Kuleshov said. "I don't know how to do career. I never contact with people, I never call them. If they call me OK. I don't know how to do this."

Student percussionist, Doug Fallis, isn't sure what he will do with his free time in the big apple, but he hopes to catch some jazz acts, like Winton Marsalis or Cannonball Adderley.

"The only thing I am not looking forward to is sharing a room with three other guys," said Fallis, music education senior.

Fallis said he might get a little nervous before the performance. "I think it makes me concentrate harder and makes me get into it a little more," he said.

"They're the best group because they work the hardest," Lamb said. "They have great work ethic, and I'm really proud of that.

"We don't ever stop being students of great music and great musicians. Being here in academia is the closest you can get to always being a student. It bugs me that if I woke up every morning early and went to bed every night very late, and did this every day for the rest of my life, and lived to be a very old age, that I would die before I got to all the good music in the world."

the plant in Michigan. Starke said he expects many of the workers will go back to school.

"The corporations are leaving America for cheap labor," Dearing said.

Dearing said labor overseas is much cheaper for GM, because many of the overseas manufacturers are not unionized which means foreign workers get lower wages and no benefits.

"For every one GM employee that's lost their job at the GM plant here in Oklahoma City, there's another four people affected by it," Dearing said.

"Through our suppliers, from grocery stores to retailers, to parts suppliers. In other words it's a ripple effect."

Traveling exhibit chronicles history of terror

COBURN: Senator visits UCO from page 1

by Nathan Winfrey Senior Staff Writer "The Enemy Within: Terror in America," a traveling exhibit from the National Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. chronicles terrorism from the birth of the United States to the present and is on display at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum.

"We are actually the first stop on the national tour," said Nancy Coggins, marketing and communications director for the memorial, which is located in what used to be the Journal Record building across from where the Alfed P. Murrah Federal Building was destroyed in a terrorist attack more than 10 years ago.

"It was very badly damaged," Coggins said.

She said a men's restroom has been left as it was, a clutter of cracked bricks and concrete dust, in the wake of the explosion as part of the regular bombing memorial exhibit.

The first display of the traveling exhibit is a timeline that details 176 acts of terror and government responses spanning nine periods of American history.

"There was actually a plot to kidnap George Washington during the Revolutionary War," Coggins said.

This is one of the earliest attacks listed on the timeline, along with the British burning of Washington, D.C. during the Revolutionary War. "The exhibit is designed for people to think about not only the protection that we need to provide," Coggins said, "but the civil liberties."

Throughout the exhibit, there are stations where visitors can take Gallup bolls-and see results from throughout the eras.

"Most of (the polls) are asking you how far the government should go," Coggins said.

The exhibit includes things that people sometimes don't consider terrorism, like acts ofhatred by the Ku Klux Klan, Coggins said.

She said, "Many people didn't think of the word terrorism until April 19, 1995."

The next room of the exhibit is designed to look like a storage room for crates filled with explosives, and includes a porthole from the USS San Diego encased in glass. The ship was sabotaged by German operatives during World War I, a group responsible for many bombings of munitions plants and the boats that carried weapons.

Coburn also said the country needs covert operations to extract information about terrorism. He brought up the current issue about torturing prisoners for information.

He later defined this as not extreme torture, but torture "within reason."

Sunni politician says Sunnis 'on the way' to ending boycott of coalition b•S‘r-dasitiii' AP Writer

Sunni Arabs are ready to end their boycott of talks to form a new government if rival Shiites return mosques seized in last week's sectarian attacks and meet other unspecified demands, a top Sunni figure said Monday.

Four mortar rounds exploded Monday on a Shiite neighborhood, killing four and wounding 16, police Maj. Moussa Abdul Karim said. U.S. helicopters fired on three houses 15 miles west of Samarra and arrested 10 people, Iraqi police said.

It was unclear if the raid was linked to Wednesday's bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra that triggered the wave of reprisal attacks that shook the nation last week.

Meanwhile, there was no word on the fate of Jill Carroll, an American journalist seized last month. The Sunday deadline set by her kidnappers in a message this month to a Kuwaiti television station passed without any new message from her abductors.

The Sunnis walked out of the talks Thursday after the bombing of the Askariya shrine triggered attacks against Sunni mosques in Baghdad, Basra and elsewhere. The walkout threatened U.S. plans to establish a unity government capable of luring Sunnis away from the insurgency so U.S. and other international troops can begin

New Orleans gears up for Fat Tuesday

by Cain Burdeau

AP Writer

1--Toiirists arid— Tocais- stood side-by-side -- in some spots 6 to 8 feet deep -- as two of the Carnival season's biggest and glitziest parades rolled through a city struggling to reclaim some of its famous fun.

"It's very special," said Barbara Sykes, who flew in from Irving, Texas, where she's been living since Hurricane Katrina. "It's part of my heart, my blood."

The prelude to Mardi Gras -lor Fat Tuesday -- brought partyhungry crowds to New Orleans' traditional parade route Sunday, nearly six months after Katrina flooded 80 percent of the city and dispersed more than twothirds of the population.

Mardi Gras "is just a symbol of the fact that New Orleans

is going to come back," said Stephanie Hall, 28, a city resident. "New Orleans has always done what it wants to do and it's_ gonna come back whether the country wants it to or not."

A threat of thunderstorms Saturday prompted a one day delay of the Krewe of Endymion's parade, which followed the Krewe of Bacchus through the Uptown neighborhood on Sunday night. Three smaller parades were held in the afternoon.

Lori Caswell, 34, of Chesapeake, Va., said this is her first time participating in the festivities and she was surprised by the number of people involved., "It's a blast," she yelled, abov4 the screams of children seeking: beads. "It's like no other fun I've ever had."

Caswell's friend, Yvette

Hairston, said she was glad the parades drew so many people back to her hometown because it's a sign that people are putting money back into the economy.

"It's a sign there's life here," she said. "It's a rebirth."

The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, the predominantly black organization that puts on one of Fat Tuesday's most beloved parades, was scheduled Monday to hold its annual "Lundi Gras" party -- the start of the ceremonial arrival of make-believe monarchs Rex and the king of Zulu by boat on the Mississippi River.

While some decried the city's plan to hold Mardi Gras celebrations while tens of thousands of residents were displaced, Ebony Jenkins, who lost her home, car and possessions in the flood, was in a festive mood nonethe-

not there," Maj. Falah alMohammedawi said. "We are watching the situation closely."

Although sectarian violence has receded since the attacks last week, tensions remain high between majority Shiites and the minority Sunnis. Shiites dominate ranks of the government security forces and most of the insurgents are Sunnis.

less.

"My take on it is: Let it roll," she said as she waited for floats and masked riders to fill the street and shed a rain of doubloons and beads on the throngs.

Celebrities in town for the long weekend included musician Harry Connick Jr., actors Dan Aykroyd, Michael Keaton and Jim Belushi, and CNN's Anderson Cooper, who rode on a float.

Nearby, Mark Krasnoff and Monica Verdin sold boudin -- a type of sausage mixed with rice, onions and peppers -- to paradegoers.

"This is important to us, whether tourists come or not," said Krasnoff. "Every parade brings out the locals and lifts people's spirits. We can dance again."

More than 60 Shiite families fled their homes in predominantly Sunni areas west and north of Baghdad after receiving threats, said Shiite legislator Jalaladin al-Saghir and Iraqi army Brig. Gen. Jalil Khallaf.

Sunni-Shiite clashes have raised doubts about U.S. plans to begin withdrawing some of the 138,000 U.S. soldiers: this year.

A former British ambassador to Iraq predicted Sunday that increasing sectarian bloodshed would require the U.S.-led foreign military coalition to stay for some time to help keep peace among rival ethnic and religious groups.

"One could almost call it a low-level civil war already," Sir Jeremy Greenstock, who was Britain's envoy in Baghdad until 2004, told British television channel ITV 1.

Sunni and Shiite religious leaders have also called for unity and an end to attacks on each other's mosques.

Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, whose own militia was blamed for many of the attacks on Sunnis, repeated the appeal Sunday when he addressed followers in the southern Shiite stronghold of Basra upon his return from neighboring Iran.

He accused Americans and their coalition partners of stirring up sectarian unrest and demanded their withdrawal.

Governors seek answers on Guard, otherii issues from Bush

by Robert Tanner AP Writer

Governors crossing party lines are criticizing Bush administration policies on the National Guard, questioning a budget plan they say will cut Guard strength and leave states less able to respond to homegrown emergencies like hurricanes or a feared pandemic.

"We're getting ready for tsunamis. We're getting ready for earthquakes. We're getting ready for forest fires. Cut all that back and I think you're left with a really troublesome situation."

Gov. Chris Gregoire, Washington

Republican Gov. Dirk the standpoint of disaster

Kempthorne of Idaho said the administration has since signaled it would not push for that reduction in strength, but he questioned whether the cuts within the Pentagon's spending proposals wouldn't end up forcing reductions anyway. Those plans would cut $789 million next year, totaling $5.3 billion over five years, Kempthorne said.

"We're going to say 'Don't do this,"' he said.

All 50 governors signed onto a letter to Bush earlier this month that opposed any

cuts to the Guard.

"We're getting ready for tsunamis. We're getting ready for earthquakes. We're getting ready for forest fires," said Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire of Washington state. "Cut all that back and I think you're left with a really troublesome situation."

She and most other governors were quick to point out how critical the Guard was in helping resolve the crisis in New Orleans after Hurrickane Katrina.

They also complained that

the federal government hasn't moved to replace equipment that travels overseas when Guard units are deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and then are left there, leaving state units less prepared for their tasks.

While the Guard may draw the most unified response, governors also hoped to hear from Bush and his officials on his budget proposals on Medicaid and welfare.

They also are pushing for federal action on illegal immigration, which gover-

nors from border states and beyond say is long overdue.

"This is a national issue," said Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano of Arizona, where 500,000 attempts to illegally cross the border were turned back last year _ let alone those that get through. Nationally there are an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.

"We're absorbing through taxpayer dollars the incarceration costs, health care costs, education costs," Napolitano said.

In states as far from the Mexican border as Utah, Missouri, Tennessee and Vermont, governors say immigrants are costing states dollars and spurring state legislation. They say the answer lies in Washington and hope to provide a push as Congress weighs several competing bills.

"It's important to come together as governors with a single voice to give some direction," said Republican Jon Huntsman Jr. of Utah.

"We deal with these issues day in and day out."

Western governors have put together a multipoint plan that calls for tougher border enforcement that makes better use of technology; improved and speed the visa system; a guest worker program; and cooperation with Mexico and other Latin America countries to tackle the economic problems that send millions north looking for work.

Harrison Ford returns to action movie 'toots in 'Firewall'

by Nathan Winfrey Senior Staff Writer

Harrison- Ford returns to form in "Firewall," a movie that thankfully has nothing in common with most of his recent work, and much in common with Ford classics, "Air Force One" and "The Fugitive."

Family man Jack Stanfield (Ford) is forced to comply with a team of elite bank robbers when they hold him and his family hostage in their sprawling home. Under close surveillance, Stanfield must return to work like nothing is wrong while helping the robbers, led by Bill Cox (Paul Bettany, "A Beautiful Mind") steal $100 million from a digital vault. All seems to be going well for the robbers until Stanfield,

"Though the film may be smart and quick, 'Firewall' lags at times and misses out on some great opportunities for suspense."

AP

in true Ford fashion, turns the tables on them.

Truly a heist film for the new millennium, Stanfield uses modern gadgetry— everything from a camera phone to his daughter's iPod—to rig up devices that MacGyver and James Bond's Q could never have thogglit Though the film may be smart and quick, "Firewall" lags at times and misses out on some great opportunities for suspense. This film is tense, but it's unlikely that your nails will be chewed to the quick after this one.

More important than the quality of this film is what it means for Ford. The aging action star has made famous some of the most beloved movie characters of

all time, including rebel rabble-rouser Han Solo, adventurer Indiana Jones and Tom Clancy's, Jack Ryan, famous CIA analyst.

It is this nostalgia that creates Ford's fervent fan base,_ and with a fourth "Indiana Jones" movie on the horizon, a movie like "Firewall" comes as a relief, because it proves that the 63-year-old actor can still run, jump and beat down evil with the best of them.

The forgettable title is one of "Firewall's" major weaknesses. It was supposed to be called, "The Wrong Element," but that title was changed before its release.

I really don't see what the original title has to do with the movie, and "Firewall" is little more than a computer term that sounds cool.

The other major weakness _. is _the_ ending.. If you see it, you'll know what I mean. It ends very abruptly and leaves a lot of plot threads dangling. Another three minutes or just one more scene, could have made things right and let us leave the theater with a good taste in our mouths, but for all the technical wizardly and the super-cool cat-and-mouse third act, screenwriter Joe Forte just doesn't follow through.

We need Part Time Extended Day, Mother's Day Out & Super Summer Teachers When: 8-5:30pm (2-5 days per week w/multiple schedules available (Spring, Summer and/or Fall 2006)

I think business rival Gary Mitchell (Robert Patrick, "Terminator 2") suffers the most from this slap-dash ending. His character arc never really gets _ta complete itseff,_thesame. goes for a creepy, one-sided romance held by two minor characters.

With a different star, "Firewall" would have simply been another flashin-the-pan crime flick, and there's no proof yet that it isn't, but adding Harrison Ford to a mediocre suspense thriller is like adding a pirate battle to "Pride and Prejudice"–it makes things a whole lot more interesting.

from page 14 fast ball really well," Bacon said. "I was glad to get a hold of a couple of them and give our team momentum."

On Feb. 25, the Bronchos won both games, 5-4 and 3-2.

In the first game, Bryan Belford, junior from Tulsa, had two hits, one run and one RBI. His single to left field scored Bacon and began a four run inning that put the Bronchos ahead 5-3.

"All weekend we were focused on hitting the line drive pitches," Belford said. "We knew that if we avoided the fly balls, we would be able to get the hits and enough runs for us to win."

Belford scored on a Derec Norman single to left field.

"I knew that we needed a hit," Norman said. "I just got up to bat and was able to make the hit."

Jesse McGough, senior from Dallas, pitched five and onethird innings allowing five hits and three runs in his second victory of the season. David Nixon, Chris Elam and Chad Ashley combined to pitch the rest of the game allowing just one hit and one run.

In a close second game, the Bronchos got solid pitching from senior Jeff Morgan and junior Tory Imotichey. The two allowed four hits and two runs

The Bronchos trailed 2-0 going into the bottom of the fifth inning. Doug Yarholar's single into right center began a two-hit, one-run inning. The Bronchos then scored one run in the sixth inning and one run in the seventh to win the game.

Tim Sullivan, junior from Leedey, Okla., led the team with two hits and one RBI. "We just have to start being

consistent," Simmons said.

"When we can hit, pitch and field on a consistent basis, we can be a pretty good ball team."

The Bronchos were ranked No. 1 in the NCAA Division H poll after the first game of the season, then lost four in a row. Simmons said he doesn't believe that rankings mean much at this point in the season.

"It took us by surprise to be ranked that high. To be in

that number one position puts a lot of unneeded pressure on the entire team," Simmons said.

"We know that we have to be playing number one baseball to be ranked number one."

The Bronchos return to action at 2:30 p.m. March 1 against The University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha.

Tough time for UCO tennis

Bronchos tie SOSU for title

by Kristen Limam Sports Editor

A struggling women's tennis team ended the weekend with a 6-1 loss to Cameron Feb. 25 as UCO wrapped up the Broncho Quadrangular in Edmond.

UCO also fell to Northeastern State 5-0 and to Tarleton State 9-0, Feb. 24 during the two-day event.

Despite the losses, head coach Francis Baxter said the matches were beneficial.

"The thing that we needed was a weekend like this," Baxter said. "Playing three matches here in two days is actually better than five, six days of practice."

Redshirt freshman Dasha Titkina and freshman Julie Vo picked up UCO's sole win in the No. 2 doubles slot. Freshman Amy Cabato and redshirt freshman Domi Kovacikova fell to CU's Carolina Vera-Vera and Kim Romero 8-3.

by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer After winning its final game of the season against East Central Feb. 25 in Ada, UCO remains tied with Southeastern Oklahoma State for the Lone Star Conference North title.

SOSU lost its final game to Northeastern State.

UCO will host South Division third-placer Texas A&M-Kingsville at 7 p.m. Feb. 28 at Hamilton Field House.

Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students.

In its final home game of the season Feb. 22, UCO's bigtime plays made for a major game as the Bronchos defeated SOSU 90-83 to tie for first in the conference.

UCO was led by senior Audrae Grayson, who connected on five consecutive 3pointers, scoring a season-high 23 points. He shot six of nine from the field and five of six from long range with three assists and three steals.

"You know, I've always

The UCO baseball team got back on the winning side by taking three out of four against Lone Star Conference opponent Angelo State.

The Bronchos won both games in the Feb. 25 doubleheader, 5-4 and 3-2, and split the doubleheader Feb. 26 with the Bronchos winning the first game 6-3 and losing the second 12-4.

In the loss, the Bronchos managed just four hits in 24 atbats. The game was close until an eight-run sixth inning by the

Rams to take a 12-0 lead.

"I was pleased with the way we preformed in three of the four games," head coach Wendell Simmons said. "I feel that we approached the fourth game wrong, sort of like a young ball team. I think maybe we thought that they were just going to roll over and not play hard, and we were wrong."

In the victory, Brett Case pitched five and two-thirds innings, giving up four hits and three runs and picking up his first victory as a Broncho. Case, a junior from Preston, Okla., and transfer from Seminole

State, was a late addition to the team.

"We are pleased to have him," Simmons said. "He has the ability to perform big for us and give us some much needed depth in our pitching."

Brandon Bacon, senior from Tulsa, had two hits, two runs and an RBI. His single to left field in the fourth inning sparked a four-run inning and gave the Bronchos a 5-3 lead. In the sixth inning, he scored another run with a home-run over left field.

"They had some good pitching. They threw the slider and

Women's basketball wraps up

UCO missed its chance to win its final home game of the season, losing 71-69 to Southeastern Oklahoma State Feb. 27.

The loss officially eliminates the Bronchos from the Lone Star Conference Postseason Tournament, Only needing two points to tie the game with eight seconds remaining in the game, freshman forward Lizzie Brenner blocked a shot by SOSU's Sami Cotton-Black.

Brenner colleted the rebound, dishing it to senior

Lindsey Wilson who, plagued

by Savage defenders, squared up for a game-tying chance and missed.

"We didn't play well on defense, we didn't block out, and we didn't play full court basketball. That's the reason we lost," said head coach Shawn Williams.

"We have to want to play and we have to want to win," Williams said. "We didn't do that tonight."

UCO had only 31 rebounds on the night compared to SOSU's 41.

Southeastern capitalized by scoring nine points off UCO turnovers.

"We need to work on getting up to the net," Kovacikova said. "Amy's an amazing doubles player. We just need to fine-tune to get in sync."

Kovacikova said both doubles teams played well, but CU's team was more stable.
