Nichols' bombing trial begins jury questioning By TIM TALLEY Associated Press Writer McALESTER, Okla. (AP) — Jury selection resumed Tuesday for the state murder trial of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols' as prospective jurors were called into the judge's chambers for questioning. An initial panel of 42 prospective jurors was culled from a group of about 150 people Monday as attorneys started the lengthy the task of picking 12 jurors and six alternates to decide Nichols' guilt or innocence on 161 counts of first-degree murder. Fifteen of the 42 were excused Monday and 19 passed the prescreening process conducted privately in District Judge Steven Taylor's chambers. The remaining eight in that group were brought in for interviews Tuesday, and more prospective jurors were expected to join the process. Jury selection is expected to take about two weeks, and the trial will last four to six months. Although most questions were posed behind closed doors, an initial line of questioning in open court revealed one of the trial's biggest obstacles: whether Nichols can receive a fair trial in Oklahoma. When Taylor asked for a show of hands, all 42 people selected for the initial group Monday indicated they knew something about the case. Nichols, already serving a life
sentence on federal charges for the Oklahoma City bombing, could get the death penalty if convicted on state charges. Defense attorneys have argued that pretrial publicity about Nichols and the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building make it impossible to find impartial jurors anywhere in the state. "The fact that all of you have heard about the case will be the basis for a lot of questions," Taylor told the jury panel. "Can you set aside what you saw and heard?" Some prospective jurors who were excused indicated they could not. "I didn't feel I was a fit juror," said Jeffrey Duane Smith, 41, of McAlester. "He was found guilty of his charges federally." "I had already formed an opinion about his guilt. And I stated that," Charles Battles, 54, of McAlester, said as he walked away from the Pittsburg County courthouse after being excused. "I was pretty solid about it." One prospective juror was arrested and charged with public intoxication after appearing unsteady and groggy when he returned from lunch, said Richard Sexton, Pittsburg County chief sheriff's deputy. Nichols, a native of Lapeer, Mich., •was convicted on federal involuntary manslaughter and conspiracy charges for the deaths of eight federal law enforcement
UCOSA Minutes March 1 The General Conference Committee on Appropriations (GCCA) had their first meeting Feb. 29 at 3:00. Their next meeting is going to be Friday 3:30 in the UCOSA office.

officers in the bombing that killed 168 people. Now Nichols faces 161 counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of the 160 other victims and the fetus of one victim. Nichols' case was moved from Oklahoma City to McAlester, about 130 miles away, to help ensure a fair trial. Prosecutors say Nichols helped co-conspirator Timothy McVeigh acquire components for the fertilizer-and-fuel-oil bomb, helped McVeigh build the bomb and robbed an Arkansas firearms dealer to finance the attack. McVeigh was convicted on federal murder charges and executed in 2001.
Central launches new technical degree program by UCO News Bureau The University of Central Oklahoma, in partnership with several two-year colleges and— CareerTech Centers, will initiate a pilot program to offer a bachelor's degree for people working in technical professions . The program, recently approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, will enable individuals with an Associate's of Applied Science degree working in professions such as allied health, information technology, graphics commu-
nications, as well as other technical areas, to earn a Bachelor's of Applied Technology degree through UCO. The program will initially involve UCO, Rose State College, Oklahoma City Community College, as well as Francis Tuttle, Metro Tech and Moore-Norman technology center schools. "This innovative degree process will reduce college costs to Oklahoma by eliminating the need to take duplicate courses," said UCO President W. Roger Webb.
"We are proud to be a part of this team effort and look forward to enrolling the hundreds of new students seeking to improve their lives through higher education." In 2002, Sen. Jim Maddox, D-Lawton, began a study to encourage cooperative agreements between higher education, career techs and business. That study resulted in the new bachelor's program at UCO. UCO will inaugurate the new program beginning in Fall 2004.

Quote of the day There are two kinds of people who never amount to much: those who cannot do what they are told, and those who can do nothing else. - Cyrus Curtis
Today in History 1992 USA Today, a publication of the Gannett media empire, was published for the first time. The paper was called "The Nation's Newspaper," USA Today has changed the shape of newspapers everywhere. Many have imitated the fast-reading format pioneered by USA Today in an attempt to revitalize the suffering newspaper industry.

opt out of having student information released to military recruiters. *Respect our Civil Liberties Provisions that violate youth and students rights in the Patriot Act must be revised, and school student unions and administrations should pass resolutions to oppose its implementation on campus.
Books not Bombs Agenda: *Funding for Education, Not Empire We demand the immediate restoration of all funds for public schools and universities cut from local and federal budgets over the last three years, and the reversal of all tuition hikes in the same period. We demand dramatic increases in assistance to low-income youth through Pell Grants, TRIO, and all programs for students in need. We demand the repeal of the No Child Left Behind Aces high-stakes testing regime, and of the Higher Education Aces denial of federal aid to drug offenders. And we demand that Congress pass legislation (like the DREAM Act) to extend educational opportunities to all immigrant youth. *No Military Recruitment in Our Schools College administrations should support the ongoing legal challenge to the Solomon Amendment, and both colleges and high schools should make it campus policy to prominently advertise the rights of students and parents to
*Campuses for Peace, Not War Campus administrators must publicly disclose all military-related research and all financial relationships with weapons manufacturers. Campus administrators must pledge to work towards severing these relationships and agree to a freeze on any new military research or additional dealings with weapons manufacturers. *Schools not Jails College administrators must divulge all university business relations— including contracts and investments--with companies that profit from or finance prison construction or operations. College administrations should set up recruitment and retention programs for communities adversely affected by incarceration, specifically low-income youth and youth of color. Lastly, state governments must invest more money in education and rehabilitation programs instead of prioritizing incarceration.
'Turntablism' establishes scratching as legitimate instrumentation By Zachary Franklin Daily Trojan (U. Southern California) (U-WIRE) LOS ANGELES -Ever since Grand Wizard Theodore invented the scratch (manipulating a playing vinyl record back and forth), the turntable has never been the same. Now groups such as the Beat Junkies and X-Ecutioners as well as artists including DJ Q-Bert and Mix Master Mike have made careers of blending, beat-juggling and cutting up records. But could the turntable, a machine that has traditionally been used to play records ever be considered a musical instrument? The Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., thought so, and this spring, heralded a class on the subject of "turntablism." The course, "Turntable Technique," will be taught by Stephen Webber, 45, who is a musician and producer and has been teaching at Berklee since 1994. Berklee's decision to institute a class on turntablism is just another milestone in the history of the
school's tradition of challenging the musical establishment. In the 1940s, Berklee was the first college to offer a course on jazz as part of its curriculum. And later, in the 1960s, it became the first college to recognize the electric guitar as a musical instrument. Regarding the turntable and turntable artists, Webber says, "Turntablists are musicians. Many of them, like DJ Q-Bert, are virtuoso musicians who practice hours a day and constantly strive to push their art further." After Gary Burton, the executive vice president of the college, conducted a study that analyzed Webber's course proposal, the school eventually agreed that turntablism could be taught in an educational setting. "We knew that there was serious interest in turntablism from many of our students," Burton said, "but we had serious concerns about how this emerging mode of music-making could fit into a college music curriculum." Webber's class is among many milestones in the academic acceptance of hip-hop culture. Todd
Boyd, a professor of cinema-television at USC, blends hip-hop ideas in his cinema class. Professor Michael Eric Dyson at the University of Pennsylvania teaches a class on Tupac Shakur and his lyrics. Similarly, Harvard University and Temple University both offer courses dealing with the analysis of rap lyrics. The Scratch Academy in New York City was founded in 2002 and currently teaches a six-week program for aspiring DJs with classes taught . by world-renowned turntable experts such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, Mista Sinista and DJ Kay Slay. Although Webber's class is not the first to teach turntablism, "Turntable Technique" is the first formal teaching by any institution on the basics of scratching as well as the representation of scratching in musical notation. President of USC's Hip-Hop Congress Rahman Jamaal said, "For a school like Berklee to teach a class is a big step forward in legitimizing hip-hop as a creative form as a useful endeavor. Having hip-hop
accepted into education shows that it can be used as a beneficial tool." "I would expect many more elements of hip-hop to used in education as means to motivate kids in schools and to organize it as training grounds for other purposeful activities.'' DJ equipment companies quickly expressed interest in contributing to a class on turntablism. Numark contributed their TTX hybrid analog/digital turntables, cartridges, analog and digital DJ mixers as well as some CD turntables. Vestax also gladly supplied turntables, workstations and mixers. Calzone Case Company provided protective cases for all DJ Components and created custom rollaway cases that enable tables and mixers to be rolled into the classroom from adjacent storerooms for both class and practice times. Korg also supplied Webber's class with KAOSS Pads, which allow users to incorporate complex sampling and effects.
This past Sunday I went to see the much hyped movie, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST. Now, I am not a religious person in the least, I have to stress that. But I was raised in the church, I still believe in God, and a part of me wanted to see this movie just to see what all the commotion was about. I have to say, first and foremost, this is not a good movie, with "good" being used in the sense that THE COLOR PURPLE and FINDING NEMO were "good" movies. No. This movie is powerful. It is an experience unto itself. Regardless of your religious beliefs, this movie tries to present the theme of love in most Christians' view of its most pure form. As quoted from the Bible, John 15:13, "No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends." I don't want this to sound like a Bible-thumping message. (In fact, I picked up a Bible for the first time today in three years to get that verse out. And even then it was an online Bible.) Also, this is not the type of movie that will knock you over with a "Jesus" moment like the ones you flip through as quickly as possible that you see on TV. In my experience, it made me step back and say, "Wow. Sad that anyone ever went through that." In an attempt to completely avoid reviewing the movie, let me get to my point. As I left the theater, drained of all emotion and nearly all thought, I began to ponder (I said nearly all thought) the real meaning of friendship and what it means to be, not just a friend, but a good friend. I have been through many a struggle in my life. At some points in the past I didn't think I could sink any lower. But the things that were always consistent were my friendships. They never left. There were times when my friends should have left me high and dry, but they didn't. For that, I am grateful and humbled. I am very fortunate to have four people in my life who know the ins and outs and ups and downs of what make me, me. Hell, they help make me, me. Two of them are from Florida, one is from Oklahoma City, and one is from Venezuela. I don't always get to
see them, but God love Cingular for having free nationwide long distance (Except when they charge me outlandish roaming charges and then Cingular and its people can rot in hell). They each have different histories, different stories to tell, different experiences and beliefs, but they all have two things in common. They love me and I love them. In the movie, there is a scene where Mary Magdalene is about to be stoned to death but Jesus steps in and stops it. She then proceeds to crawl toward him lying flat on her stomach, reaching for his foot. I'm not quoting this because I only saw it in passing, however it struck me. But in an interview with Monica Bellucci (the woman who played Mary Magdalene) she sums the scene up by saying that she didn't think Mary was so much relieved that Jesus had shown her she was a sinner or prostitute, she was just happy to have a man, any man, look at her in a way that no man had ever looked at her before. She was not a prostitute to him. She was a friend. That, right there, is the essence of love and friendship. Friends look past the flaws, past the shortcomings, past the lows. True friends look to the person that is within. They help build you past your faults. They mold you, shape you, love you into someone new, yet someone uniquely your own. My friends have opened ire up, torn me apart, and put me back together to make a new but familiar person who does the same for them. Most importantly, I know that I would die for them and they would do the same for me. One of my favorite quotes by Marcel Proust states, "Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy. They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." But no one puts my thoughts about my friends to words like Ralph Waldo Emerson. "I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new." My advice, go see PASSION OF THE CHRIST. Take it in. Be moved. Be thankful for your friends.

Its more an art than a science, says Bob Burgess, associate director for housing and dining services at KState, who says even matches that look good on paper _ or roommate pairs who select each other, for that matter _ can go wrong. Burgess' own wife had difficulty when she was in college with a roommate she hand-selected, not realizing their study habits would clash. But w-u-esolvable conflicts don't occur that often at K-State, Burgess says. Of the approximately 2,700 new students moving into campus housing each year, less than 100 request room changes, he says.

For Laura Fearey, a KU freshman from Wichita, that miss came early in her college career. Her first semester in Ellsworth Hall, she ended up with three roommates who partied and stayed out late and seemed to have little respect for her quieter lifestyle. One of the girls once left a bowl of soup sitting on the kitchen counter for three weeks. Fearey finally ended up cleaning it out, "which was interestmg. Toward the end of last semester, Fearey was in bed and heard one of her roommates throwing up after a night of hitting the bottle. She heard another roommate say, 'Wait, let me get Laura's towel." "I just picked that towel up and put it in a bag until I went home and did laundry," Fearey says. She moved out a few weeks later.

infant believed to have died in a 1997 fire actually was kidnapped and raised by a woman who set the blaze to cover her path, authorities said. Now, the child's mother _ who recognized the girl at a party by a dimple _ is eagerly awaiting a reunion. Police issued an arrest warrant for Carolyn Correa, 41, of Willingboro, N.J., on charges of arson, kidnapping and conspiracy. She remained at large Tuesday, authorities said. "This child, now 6 years old, who has been raised by Carolyn Correa as her own, is not her own," police Capt. John Darby said. The biological mother, Luz
Cuevas of Philadelphia, saw the girl at a birthday party in January and recognized her by a dimple on her face. At the party, she told the girl she had gum in her hair and pulled out five strands for DNA testing, Cuevas told The Associated Press on Tuesday. She said she folded them in a napkin and placed them in a plastic bag, which she locked in a safe at home, and contacted authorities. "Because of TV, I knew they needed hair for the DNA (tests)," Cuevas said. The girl, Delimar Vera, was placed in state custody in New Jersey. It was not clear when she would be reunited with her mother. "When I see her I saw that she was my daughter," Cuevas said. "I want to hug her. I want to run with

by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor Despite shooting 50% from the field for the game, the Central Oklahoma men's basketball team lost in the Lone Star Conference tournament to Texas A&M-Kingsville 8576 on March 2 at the Steinke Center in Kingsville, Texas. Each Javelina starter scored in double-figures for TAMUK as they shot 28-for-55 (50.9%) from the field. The score was tied at 12 after two Kentrell Gaddis free throws with 14:26 remaining. The Javelinas went on a 172 run over the next six minutes, taking a 29-14 lead after free throws from Robert Hamilton. UCO cut the lead under
double-digits at 35-26 following a Gaddis layup with 3:53 left in the half. TAMUK pushed the lead back to 11 at the half behind a Remi Yusuf three-pointer just before the buzzer which made the score 43-32. The Javelinas exploded coming out of the locker room, extending their lead to 22 at 59-37 following a Will Brown steal and three-point bucket with 14:27 left in regulation. The Bronchos rallied, cutting the lead to 63-51 with 8:07 left as Terry McVay buried a trey to make the deficit 12 points. But UCO couldn't get the lead under double-digits as Kingsville refused to relinquish control of the game. The Javelinas dashed
UCO's postseason hopes seizing the 85-76 victory to advance to the LSC Tournament semifinals. Kingsville forced 22 Broncho turnovers whi'e shooting 42.1% from beyond the arc. Gaddis was grand off the bench scoring a team-high 17 points in 24 minutes. Nick Graham added 15 including 4of-5 from beyond the arc. Deshone Henderson matched Graham's 15 while grabbing a team-high 9 rebounds. Jamaal Ramey was the only other Broncho in double-figures with 10 points. Brown scored a game-high 23 points for the Javelinas, while Hamilton added 18. UCO finishes the season with a 11-17 record.

IMO captures 15th straight regional title by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer UCO finished with four individUal champions in capturing its fifteenth consecutive NCAA Division H Regional wrestling championship on Feb. 29 at Hamilton Field House. "Our guys stepped up to the challenge," said Central head coach David James. "Winning the regional championship was a goal we had set before the season that we wanted to achieve and I'm real proud of our guys." Shawn Silvis (165 pounds), Cole Province (133), Jason Tapia
(174), and Kevin Lochner (197) each won championships for the Bronchos who qualified seven individuals for the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships set for March 12-13 in Mankato, Minn. "I'm disappointed that we didn't qualify all 10 guys," James said. "We've just got to move forward with those seven and we're excited about the seven we're taking." Several of Central's wrestlers placed high but only the top four finishers at each weight will advance to the national tournament. Jerod Goodwin finished sec-
and at 149, 141 Wade Bramlitt and 184 Jason Tapley were fourth, 157 Shea Timothy and Hvy Chris Finn fifth and 125 Chris Saferite sixth. According to James, Goodwin finished impressively having made a strong comeback from knee surgery performed a week before the regionals. "Jerod hardly had any time to practice after coming back. The way he wrestled is a true testament to his character." Province became UCO's first ever four-time regional champion arid Silvis was named Midwest Regional Wrestler of the Year after capturing his third straight regional crown. - "We're real excited for Shawn. Those honors are well deserved. He had a great season." "Cole's already in an elite group and we're fortunate he's at UCO." Three-time national champion Province had a dominating finals performance jumping out to a 7-0 lead en route to a 12-2 major decision over Findlay's Jack Scott while two-time national champion Silvis defeated Findlay's two-time 149-pound national champion Waylon Lowe 3-2. "Shawn wrestled a very good, smart match. It was anticipated as a big match going into the finals." The Bronchos edged two teams, Ashland and Findlay, that are new to the Midwest regional having moved over from the East regional in a preseason realignment. Central finished the all-day tournament with 128.5 points with No. 4 Findlay only 10 points behind followed by No. 6 Ashland finishing third in the nine-team field with 106 points.
