Migael Scherer reads from "Back Under Sail: Recovering the Spirit of Adventure" at a booksigning March 30 at Full Circle Books. Scherer spoke to journalism students this week on stereotypes in the media.

The University of Central Oklahoma Donna Nigh Gallery will open its exhibit "Candy Coated," featuring works by UCO graduates Alyson Atchison and Clint Stone along with UCO student Nick Bayer, with a reception from 5 until 7:30 p.m. April 8 at the fourth floor gallery, located in the Nigh University Center.

The reception will include finger-foods, drinks and music from The Matt Stansberry Band.

The exhibit features paintings, mixed media creations and more that express the artists' "candy coated" view of the world. Through their works, they explain that many of the world's "hard truths" are easier to accept if they are candy coated.

Atchison received a bachelor's degree in art in 2000 and her master's in education from UCO in 2002. She is currently an adjunct instructor in UCO's Department of Art teaching Serigraphy.

Along with running an

active art studio in the Paseo District, Atchison works full time at the Oklahoma City Arts Council as its director of the Community Arts Program and assists in the planning such events as the OKC Arts Festival and Opening Night.

Clint Stone, a 1999 UCO graduate, currently works as an arts and science educator at the Omniplex. He also operates an art studio in Oklahoma City where he develops four exhibits a year.

Nick Bayer will graduate this May from UCO with a degree in art. He is an accomplished muralist, having completed many "Mainstreet Murals" throughout Oklahoma as a part of Dr. Bob Palmer, UCO professor of arts, renowned mural team.

Web site makes life easy for students

by Chris Leonard Daily O'Collegian Oklahoma State University STILLWATER, Okla. - Life for a college student can be hectic and, quite simply, overwhelming. With so much to do and only four to five years to do it, students are sometimes pressed for time to get simple tasks completed.

Does college life have to be so vicious? Is there a place where students can go to get everything done at once?

Barrett Masso, CEO of ULife.com , and Andrew Clark, vice president of sales for ULife.com , said they believe

there is.

ULife.com , Masso and Clark's brain child, is a multiservice Web site whose single priority is to serve college students' every need.

The 'Web site is a nice mix between the hip college lifestyle and a well-organized professional setup, or, as Clark said, "If AOL and MTV had a baby."

ULife.com provides the student with almost everything the college life requires. Finding a date, downloading software and creating resumes are all capable tasks through ULife.com .

Buying and selling textbooks is always one of the more stressful duties of a college student.

Whether it is the price or the availability, something seems to always go wrong. But with ULife.com , this strenuous ordeal can be made a little easier.

Students can buy and sell 'cooks to other students not only locally but also nationally. And that is the point of emphasis on ULife.com -- Students everywhere communicating and collaborating with one another.

"The best thing about the site is you can do everything locally or nationally," Clark said.

"Everyone and anyone in school."

The Web site also provides artists, musicians and writers a

place to share their works and information.

To put it simply, there is not much that ULife.com does not provide for college students.

And for what their Web site does not provide, Clark and Masso implore students to give them feedback.

"We want to hear from students," Clark said. "We want to know what they want."

But even with all these capabilities, ULife.com still is trying to build its name recognition.

"We want • to get the word out," Clark said.

My Turn

Two of my friends, Trevor and Julie, have been datTre Ronne ing for several months. Although they seemed quite happy at first, and although they still act happy in public, Julie has complained to me several times. She says that after the first time they had sex she felt wrong, like they had gone too far too fast, and she wanted to slow everything down. But she says that Trevor does not seem to understand.

The first time she said "No" and explained herself, he pleaded with her. When she still refused, he suggested they break up. Because she liked Trevor otherwise – he is tall, funny, and popular – she didn't want to break up, and she submitted.

The last time she refused he didn't even respond verbally, but used his strength to force her, slowly. At first she pushed back but soon realized that he wouldn't quit.

She called me the next morning, very upset. When I asked Trevor about it, he said nothing had happened. He said he didn't realize it wasn't consensual sex.

I don't have any friends named Trevor or Julie, but I do have friends with similar stories. If the above situation sounds similar to your own experience, the following information may be emotionally painful.

Trevor's actions meet the legal definition of rape. It is acquaintance rape, the most frequent form. Neither Trevor nor Julie may call it rape. But it is just that, and the effects are just as devastating. Victims of rape – 90 % female, 10 % male – often develop posttraumatic stress, nightmares, and phobias, and many contemplate suicide. Rape has lifelong effects.

Victims must cope with not only the assault, which they may perceive as a life-threatening situation, but also with years of painful silence or of blame from themselves, authorities, friends, and family, who may not believe the victim in the first place. People often wonder why rape victims sometimes reveal the assault and the attacker after years of silence, but a brief glimpse at common rape myths and their effects upon individuals may explain.

Myth: Rape is the victim's fault. The victim encouraged it.

Even friends and family may believe erroneously that the victim is responsible for or could have prevented the assault.

Many believe that victims (who are usually women) agree to sex automatically by agreeing to a date (particularly when the man pays for her meal, etc.), by wearing certain clothing, by having a sexual history, by being physical such as kissing and even having oral sex, and/or by being sexually active prior to the rape (either with the rapist or with other people).

Reality: Saying that a person's sexuality encourages another to RAPE is exactly like saying that a person arguing or wearing combat boots is asking to be beaten. The responsibility for the crime still rests upon the criminal because emotions do not control actions. Being sexually aroused makes someone a rapist no more than being angry makes one a murderer. To say "I was aroused, so I forced her" is to say "I was angry, so I killed her." Responsibility for rape always lies with

the rapist and never the victim.

Nor does agreeing to a date or being physical in any way create a contract for sex. Every person has a right to refuse further contact at any point. If a woman kisses a man on a first day (or on any subsequent date, or after years of marriage) and if he accepts the kiss and returns it, he has not given her an•open invitation to every part of his body, because he may be comfortable kissing but not petting, or petting but not having sex, and because every minute of every day his sexuality may change according to his mood, his environment, and many other factors. Every person has the right to set their own boundaries, and crossing a boundary is a crime, whether reported or not.

Myth: The victim could have prevented the rape.

"Rape" to most people means "a stranger jumping out of the bushes at an unsuspecting female, brandishing a weapon, and assaulting her." Thus, people assume that people can avoid rape by simply dodging dark alleys and strange men.

Reality: Saying that a person could have prevented their own late-night mugging by walking down Ayers instead of Washington or by walking during daylight implies that muggers only hang out on Washington Street and only mug in darkness. Rapes, like muggings, can occur anytime and anywhere: one third occur between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.; over half take place in the home of the victim or in the home of a friend, neighbor or relative.

Nor are all rapists the stereotypical knife-wielding, masked stranger; only 7 % of attackers used a weapon, and at least 76 of attackers knew their victims. In reality most rapists are "normal" males. They can be attractive and popular.

Frequently, they are charming at first. A rapist may even have a reputation as a "stud." It is perhaps the most frightening truth, that friends, relatives, dates, and partners commit the vast majority of rapes. Most don't even recognize or admit they have committed rape.

A rapist's "normalcy" is one reason people, including judges, don't believe a victim's testimony, to frightening results: of the estimated 40 % of rapes reported to police, there is only a 50 % chance of arrest, only a 60 % chance of jail time for the convict, a 16 % chance of prison. Only 6 percent of rapists (one in sixteen) will ever serve jail time, the rest walk free.

Even if a rape case goes to trial, the focus of the investigation lies not upon identifying the attacker (because most victims know their attacker) but upon proving that the "sex" was not consensual. Predictably, the victim must reveal intimate aspects of their life for the scrutiny of a heavily biased judge and jury, who-decide for the victim whether or not s/he actually "wanted it" based upon "evidence" such as the sexual history of the victim. Imagine if all victims of crime received the same treatment in court. Imagine a mugging case during which the defense asks "Mr. Smith, we hear you're quite a philanthropist, that you just give money away...you are well known for your history of donations...yet you expect us to believe that you did not willingly give money to my client when he asked you for it?!"

Is it surprising that 84 % of rapes are not reported? We haven't even looked at the negative reactions (disbelief, blame, etc.) that survivors receive from friends and family members

Dear Student Body, Let me be the first to congradulate you on your overall disposition regarding the parking situation here at UCO. You have whined until I can no longer stand it. I have never heard a group of students complain about something so trivial.

Now, please do not misunderstand me. A parking problem is a serious issue...if there is really a problem to discuss. The amount of parking at UCO is really not the problem, since there is plenty, the problem is the overall student body's attitude toward the available parking.

Having transferred from the University of Oklahoma, I was accustomed to arriving almost two hours before class to secure a

parking space.

Here at UCO, I can arrive ten minutes before my scheduled class time, park OFF CAMPUS, and still make it to class on time.

There is no shortage of parking here at UCO, simply a shortage of patience in the student body.

If you really feel that you must park on campus to arrive at your class on time (since the campus in less than a mile across, even if you were forced to park off campus you should be able to get from one side to the other fairly quickly), then simply get here sooner. It's really that easy folks.

when they do speak out.

These myths serve as social defense mechanisms. By stereotyping rapists as psychopathic strangers, and by blaming the victim for the crime, people can pretend that rape doesn't happen to "good girls", that "nice boys" don't rape, and that rapes only occur in dark alleys late at night. Confronting the reality that our friends, relatives, dates, and partners might rape our friends, relatives, dates, partners, and even ourselveS, we lose all sense of control. If we can't avoid the dark-alley,' knife-wielding rapists, and if it doesn't matter what we wear or whether we act "loose", how can we avoid being raped?

It is important to remember that, though 99 % of rapists are men, not all men are rapists; in fact the majority of men are not. And, although nothing reveals a man's inclination to rape, many warning signs exist: degrading others such as calling women "bitches"; acting superior based upon his wealth, status, race, or gender; putting his desires before other people's welfare; trying to tell others what they think, regardless of what they actually say; using hostile language; subtly threatening retaliation such as humiliation; being quick to anger; dwelling upon revenge for real or imagined insults; obsessing over women, even those who reject him; having extreme mood swings; hitting inanimate objects, like walls or cars, in anger; getting angry when drunk; abusing drugs or alcohol; making rape jokes.

If you notice these red flags in someone else, trust your instincts, talk to other people, and above all avoid being alone with the person.

If you or someone you know has been coerced by physical or verbal force into an unwanted sexual act (this includes oral or anal penetration by the attacker's genitals, body parts, or an object wielded by the other person), many resources for help are available. Here is a short list: Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network (RAINN) 1-800-656-HOPE; National Domestic Violence Hotline 1-800-799-SAFE; Suicide Prevention Help line 1-800-227-8922. All calls are confidential.

If you are raped, don't blame yourself. It is not your fault.

It is never the victim's fault. Call 911. Seek medical help.

The YWCA Hospital Advocates are on-call 24 hours a day— call 943-7273.

For more information call the UCO Counseling Center 974-2215.

Rape is difficult to discuss, but silence keeps the truth about rape unknown, fueling the myths by which society shames and terrorizes rape survivors into silence. It is a vicious cycle that must be broken by awareness and education. In the time it took to read this article two people were raped somewhere in America, and every year 683,000 of our friends, relatives, and partners are raped.

Of the 12,288 at UCO, 7,127 are female. Statistically, of those women, 1,781 will be victims of rape or attempted rape during their lifetime. But we can fight this. We can overcome rape myths and revolutionize our society. And it's time to speak out against this widespread but largely ignored violence. It's time to educate ourselves and others. It's time to bring a rape education program to UCO. Now.

Participants will learn to understand the importance of assessing and treating stuttering from a multidimensional perspective using the CALMS Model and to develop treatment plans using the CALMS Model.

Implementing strategies for children who stutter who also have concomitant speech and/or language disorders, and to develop improved strategies for treating teens who stutter, also will be discussed.

To address the workshops will be Dr. Charles Healey, professor of speech-language pathology at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln where he has served for 26 years.

He is an American Speech and Hearing Association Fellow and has received many honors from the Nebraska Speech-Language-Hearing Association.

Healy has been a Board Recognized Fluency Specialist since its inception and was recently elected to the

Specialty Recognition Board on Fluency Disorders.

He has published many research articles in the area of stuttering and presented numerous national and regional workshops on the diagnosis and treatment of stuttering in children and adults. He co-edited the Proceedings of the Second World Congress on Fluency Disorders, and Stuttering Research and Practice: Bridging the Gap. Healy currently serves as an editorial consultant for the Journal of Fluency Disorders.

Conference workshops to be offered are "CALMS: A Multidimensional Model for the Assessment and Treatment of School-Age Children Who Stutter" and "Principles of Treatment and Benchmarks Relative to the CALMS Model."

Also to be offered are "Treatment Strategies and Case Studies," "Principles of Treating Stuttering with Concomitant Disorders," and "Guidelines for Treating Adolescents Who Stutter."

A question-and-answer session with Healey, also will take place.

Cost for professionals who preregister to participate is $30, or $50 the day of the conference. Students who preregister will be admitted for $15, or for $50 at the door.

The Inez Miller Conference is sponsored through the Inez Miller Endowed Chair in the UCO SpeechLanguage Pathology Program.

The Endowed Chair was established through a gift from Miller, a former Oklahoma teacher. Miller, who later resided in California, experienced hearing loss in her later years was sensitive to those who find communication to be difficult.

Her gifts to UCO and the Speech-Language Pathology program support the Endowed Chair, student scholarships, graduate research assistants, and the Inez Miller Conference on Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Students from University of Central Oklahoma's School of Music will bring "The Last Five Years," the latest musical by Tony Award-winning composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown, to the stage at 8 p.m. April 15 through 17 hi UCO's Pegasus Theater.

The show is produced by Jay Leland Krottinger, a junior from Broken Arrow, and directed by Ashlee Lynn Wood, a senior from Chandler, under the guidance of Greg White, UCO director of music theatre.

This two-person love story chronicles the romance of Jamie and Cathy, portrayed by Michael Dalke, a junior from Norman, and Wood, from their first date to their marriage's end.

But this is not a typical love story.

The story unfolds forward and backward, building toward the climax where the couple meets for a heartfelt duet, which brings many audiences to tears.

"It's so real and fresh—totally'different from what Oklahoma has seen," said Wood. "It's something that is rarely done."

"The Last Five Years" explores the boundaries of love through cultural differences that plague the young couple trying to make it in New York City.

'This piece makes you feel closer to your partner," said KrOttinger.

"The music keeps my foot tapping, taking me back to the times of Paul Simon."

Brown's contemporary rock-style, music and lyrics offers unique twists, mixing Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon, with Jewish and Irish themes pushing the complexity of contemporary to its limit.

"I like the concept," said Jason Hunt, guitarist for the musical.

"Almost immediately, I found the music very interesting."

The entire show will be a unique experience for Oklahoma audiences, as this production marks the statewide premiere for "The T act Five Years."

It also marks the first project for Leland Production, founded by Krottinger.

Admission is free, but taxdeductible donations will be accepted at the door. Pegasus Theater is located in the College of Liberal Arts Building on UCO's campus.

Since

Federation of America, Inc. and Back Up Your Birth Control, support the proposal in similar ways by reaching out to women and medical organizations to advocate Plan B. Despite the FDA's indecision, several states throughout the nation are taking action. The Illinois House Health Care Availability and Access Committee is just one of many that decided last month to allow the emergency contraceptive pill to be sold without a prescription. The only difference between this initiative and the proposal that the FDA is reviewing is that Plan B requests the pills be available on drugstore shelves, whereas the states' committees are only allowing them to be sold behind pharmacy counters.

Some students on campus said they are aware of the emergency contraceptive pill's availability and other birth control options.

Emily Volpini (freshman-hotel, institutional and restaurant management) voiced her opinion on the Plan B proposal.

"I think they should be sold over-the-counter because it's a good way to prevent teen pregnancies," Volpini said.

Steve Ayer (freshman-architectural engineering) agreed with Plan B as long as women do not abuse the OTC pill. "I personally don't ever have to worry about it, and I'm glad I don't.

But if I were in someone else's shoes, I'd want to have the option. As long as it isn't used on a regular basis, and other sources of birth control are used, I think it should definitely be legal," Ayer said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

ACLU backs Maryland student removed from forum

by Andrea Berry The Diamondback University of Maryland COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The campus ACLU will request the University of Maryland apologize, drop charges and erase the record of one of three students ordered to leave their seats during the Feb. 29 Brody Forum with Lynne Cheney.

A letter will be sent to the Office of Judicial Programs on behalf of Ryan Grim, a graduate student in public policy, in response to allegations that he was disruptive after he called out a question to Cheney, the forum's featured guest and the wife of the U.S. Vice President.

Michael Cawdery, a graduate student in social foundations of education, and Chuck DeVoe, a junior biology and government and politics major, were also referred for calling out a comment and a question, respectively.

BEST INGREDIENTS

My thick-sliced 7-grain whole wheat and authentic French breads are made from my own secret recipe using all-natural ingredients, then baked fresh right here in the store throughout the day, every day.

I personally select the very best meats available. That means no pressed, formed, or filled meats on my sandwiches. Only juicy white turkey breast, choice roast beef, smoked Virginia ham, and real wood-smoked bacon.

I use only the freshest, bestest veggies around. They're sliced daily in the store and never treated or bagged for use some other day. That means crisp, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, sprouts, and cucumber.

The world's greatest gourmet sandwiches call for the world's greatest ingredients. So I only use real Hellmann's mayonnaise, Grey Poupon mustard, and my homemade red wine vinaigrette and real guacamole.

cial proceedings are de facto intimidation of political speech," Grim said.

Cawdery shouted "bulls--" in response to an opinion Cheney expressed during the forum, according to a University Police report obtained by The Diamondback.

The report also said Grim shouted a question about reparations for slavery during a pause in the program and DeVoe called out a question about same-sex marriages near the end of the event.

However, Grim, DeVoe and a Diamondback reporter who recorded the event attributed the reparations question to DeVoe and the gay marriage question to Grim.

The ACLU letter said the Office of Judicial Programs charged Grim with violating Section J of the Code of Student Conduct's prohibited behaviors, which describes conduct that is "intentionally and substantially interfering with the freedom of expression of others on university premises or at university-sponsored activities" as subject to disciplinary action.

Annotations to the code elucidate on this clause, restricting disciplinary action to cases in which audience members have "shouted down" a speaker. The annotation protects minor heckling, booing and clapping, as long as it stops when a university official requests silence.

Stuart McPhail, co-president of the campus chapter of the ACLU, said Grim's actions were consistent with behavior protected in the code.

"He asked a question," McPhail said, adding that the ensuing judicial action "really has a chilling effect on people's rights."

The three students who were referred said they caused minimal disruption.

"It was a very temporary interruption, and the forum went on as planned, and we weren't dragged out kicking and screaming," DeVoe said.

The police report said a March 1 Diamondback article "erroneously reported" that DeVoe was "force-

fully removed" when instead he "tripped over a chair leg" and was steadied by a police officer as he was leaving his seat.

The Diamondback article was cited by University Police spokeswoman Maj. Cathy Atwell, who said the individuals were asked to leave their seats and identified, but were not removed from the premises.

DeVoe said he did not trip, although he could understand why an observer would think so.

"I guess they thought I wasn't walking fast enough, so they grabbed my arm and sort of pulled me along," he said.

"I wouldn't have tripped if they hadn't been pulling on my arm," DeVoe added.

Grim said he thought he and the other students were singled out before the event began because they were younger and more casually dressed than the majority of the attendees.

Atwell said she didn't think the police were watching the individuals beforehand.

"I have no indication that that was the case," she said.

However, the police report said an officer noticed the students because they were "20-50 years younger than the average attendee," "dressed inappropriately for the event" and "were also pointed out to me by Dr. Chaney's [sic] staff and by Dr. Chaney's [sic] U.S. Secret Service detail."

The officer who filed the report also said Grim and Cawdery, who are both of legal drinking age, had the smell of alcohol on their breaths. The report says wine was provided for attendees at a cocktail hour before the interview began.

Grim said he and Cawdery drank "a couple" of glasses of wine before the event, but they weren't drunk. Even if they were, he said; it would still be irrelevant because their behavior did not warrant judicial action.

"Sobriety has never been an essential qualification for the right to speech," Grim said.

Cornell researchers present `nano-flag'

by Eileen Soltes Cornell Daily Sun Cornell University

-

ITHACA, N.Y. - Research in the Cornell University Department of Biotechnology has proven that art can be infused with science to produce artwork the size of one-billionth of a meter.

On Tuesday, Cornell engineers and scientists presented the world's smallest, colored replica of the U.S. flag on a silicon chip to the White House to honor nanotechnology research. The chip was created by Madanagopal Kunnavakkam, senior biotechnology associate, and Scott Stelick, research support specialist, to honor the recently passed

Century 21st Nanotechnology Research and Development Act which provides funding for nanotechnology research beginning in 2005.

The chip was placed in a paperweight and presented

by Joshua Wolfe, a managing partner of Lux Capital firm specializing in nanotechnology, to John Marburger III, science advisor to President George W. Bush.

"We built this [chip] to commemorate the nanotechnology bill that was passed

by Congress last year," Kunnavakkam said.

"Another chip was also built for the Senator who introduced the bill."

An analogous paperweight will later be presented to Sen. Sherwood Boehlert, R-

New Hartford, chairperson of the House Science Committee,. for the introduction of the legislation last year.

Nanofabrication is used to store data in structures at one-millionth of a meter.

The process is commonly used by computer engineers to create memory chips and is also becoming more prevalent in the medical, military, and aerospace industries.

The silicon chip is an elaborate nanofabrication of six flags and 15 White Houses, refracting light to exhibit the colors of the design.

The nano-American flag stands at only 3 millimeters wide by 1.5 millimeters tall - if the flag were tinier, it would not be able to retain

color since its dimensions would be smaller than the wavelength of light.

In order to create the colors of the stars and stripes of the flag, Kunnavakkam and Stelick used diffraction gratings. The pair drew lines nano-width apart into the glass of a silicon wafer.

"We used a four inch silicon wafer ... [and] etched patterns on its surface," Kunnavakkam said. The lines diffract the wavelengths of red, white, and blue, coloring the flag.

Similarly, the nano-White House was produced using silicon-based technology.

The chip is composed of a larger White House, only 4.5 millimeters wide, surrounded by four smaller White Houses, only 510 microme-

ters across. Above each smaller White House stands an even tinier American Flag.

In fact, the stars on these American flags are so microscopic that Carl Batt, the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Biotechnology, estimates that three stars on the flag could fit into one red blood cell.

After infusing color into the design, the nanofabricated chip was formatted to about the size of a stamp and was placed into an engraved paperweight honoring nanotechnology research and the legislators who passed it.

"We were informed of the project in January, and it took us about two months to create," said Stelick.

The project was funded by

the Nanobiotechnology Center, the Cornell Center for Materials Research, the Center for Nanoscale Systems and the Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility.

All and all, Kunnavakkam and Stelick believe the chip is a success and are excited by the results.

"It uses well-known optical refraction [techniques] to produce something that is visually pleasing ... [and] we had fun doing it," Kunnavakkam said.

"We wanted CO build something that was colorful and fun, and we did with this chip," added Stelick.

Collegiate ‘eBay' use rising

by Tiffany White Daily O'Collegian Oklahoma State University STILLWATER, Okla. The symptoms are common.

Most tend to suffer from lack of sleep and overconsumption of coffee and diet soda.

They appear to have an alarming amount of facial hair and spend the majority of their time whining about shipping costs and "bad feedback."

Maybe they tried to hide their obsessions and fought to control their urges, but it is useless. They are hopeless.

They are eBay addicts. . Since eBay debuted almost a decade ago, billions of people have taken heed in the online auction site that allows people to find and purchase rare items for low prices.

It is a haven where people become immersed in the online, auction community, while evoking their inner shopoholic.

That rare handbag?

That discontinued sneak-

er?

That CD from the band who only made a thousand, original copies of their first record?

Name it and most likely eBay has it.

It is no wonder the number of eBay addicts is growing rapidly.

"I love eBay so much. I use it for everything, and everything is really cheap. I check it at least twice a day. I can't help it, I'm obsessed," said Becky Hucksoll, a freshman in graphic design at Oklahoma State University.

The eBay/online auction movement has done more than just give computer geeks another reason to avoid exposure to the sun, but it has also opened the door for the eCommerce generation.

The Internet is now filled with small, online businesses and auction communities where Internet cruisers can fulfill their shopping demands.

"My fiance uses it," said

Jennifer Wright, interior design senior. "He usually buys things like concert tickets and basketball tickets. It's also useful for computer parts."

With everyone now hopping aboard the eBay express, more people are falling into the category of the stereotypical, eBay junkie. This stereotype mostly consists of a slob living on coffee and Big Macs, in a home surrounded by empty Fed-Ex boxes. For some people, this stereotype is reality.

"I get so excited when checking the mail," said HucksolL "It's probably the highlight of my day."

This popular stereotype is given a humorous twist by a creative seller on eBay who created a "Hopelessly Addicted to eBay Barbie."

The Barbie comes with her own office compiled of Priority Mail boxes, countless of eBay junk and a purple computer that has an eBay page displayed. It also comes with a Ken and two of Barbie's children who are somewhere lost amongst the boxes. So far the current bid for the item is up to $157.50.

Unfortunately, like most situations that seem too good to believe, eBay has its down side.

Not all sellers online can be trusted and millions of buyers already have been victims of false advertising and credit fraud.

"Yeah, you should always be concerned when shopping with places like that," said Parnam Mohanna, physiology senior. "Credit fraud and the quality of the merchandise people buy is always something major to think about."

While shopping online does contain a threat, some feel intelligence and common sense can prevent a buyer from getting duped.

"You can tell the con artists from how they ask for

40 bucks for something that is really expensive or if they ask for the money up front," said Maggie Schoeling, biochemistry and molecular biology freshman.

Although the risk of threats on the Internet is something to worry about, the majority of Internet buyers feel the positive outweighs the negative.

It seems rare items for cheap prices are too good to pass over. The addicts are here to stay.

"If someone took away my eBay I would be devastated," said Hucksoll. "I just don't know what I'd do without it.

Bronchos split doubleheader with East Central Miller goes 2-for-3 in each game

by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer Central Oklahoma began a four-game Lone Star Conference North Division series with a 6-5 victory over East Central Tuesday, March 30 in front of a crowd of 75 at Broncho Field.

Courtney Cole broke a 5-5 tie with a double in the fifth inning to boost her team to victory in the first game of the doubleheader. The Tigers used two sixthinning runs in the second game to help them to a 5-3 win and a split of the doubleheader.

The Bronchos, now 15-12 overall and 4-6 in the LSC North, have won two of their last six games since having a fivegame winning streak snapped by Pittsburg State (Kan.) on March 25. Lyndsey Miller had a big day

for the Bronchos going 2-for-3 in each game while totaling three runs and four RBIs. Her thirdinning three-run double, along with Cole's RBI double, helped Central to a five-run lead in the first contest before scoring the winning run off Cole's double in the fifth.

Jamie Schiedt picked up the win in the first game pitching in relief of Falon Barnes. Schiedt struck out four in three innings while giving up three hits and two runs.

Starting pitcher Jordan Akin couldn't get any help in the nightcap as the Bronchos four errors in the field lead to four unearned Tiger runs.

Akin went the distance and picked up her seventh loss of the season putting her at 4-7 on the year.

The Tigers turned two errors into runs and a 3-1 lead in the third after Miller's solo homer offset the Bronchos' • first unearned run of the day in the first.

Central came back and tied things up at three apiece in the fourth after Lauren Moore's tworun double scored Nikki Vandever (2-for-3) and pinch runner Jenni Hinkel.

But ECU would eventually break the deadlock in the top of the sixth after a passed ball put two runners in scoring position.

Tara Wilson singled to give her team the lead and Melissa Andrews singled scoring another unearned run to give the Tigers the final 5-3 lead and the win.

A 1 p.m. twinbill Saturday wraps up the second half of the series with East Central.

with Micah D. Camino Time to break out the old lumber. The greatest American past time has begun once again... thank god! Well... it won't be official until April 5th.

Yes sir, it's gonna be like climbin' a mountain with a slippery rope for the old redbirds this year. And yet, Tony La Russa expects his team to be in the thick of the hunt... if they can stay healthy.

But wait, maybe I shouldn't be so happy.

My beloved St. Louis Cardinals shot themselves in the foot...once again...with some questionable off-season trades, while their bitter NLC rivals in Chicago and Houston look to be stronger than ever.

Hummmmmmmm, let me think... World Series... or new Busch Stadium. . . ummm. duh!

The guys in the Cards' top-dog office say we neec a new Busch Stadium.

No, what we need is pitching! My boys finished 14-25 in one-run decisions last season.

Well, I do like to be optimistic every chance I get...so I guess I should think about the return of several top-notch players. First and foremost...drum role please...one Mr. Al "Whinny the Pujols." Heck, he almost won the Triple Crown last year. And of course my personal favorite, Edger Renteria, along with three other Gold Glove winners from 03.'

Then again, the cubbies are loaded with stud pitchers Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, and Greg Maddux. And Houston will be a force to be reckoned with fielding All-Stars' Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and Jeff Bagwell.

And who can forget A-ROD, who can now be found alongside Derek Jeter with the NY Yankees? Yes this man can play... no doubt about that, but I can't help but have a serious problem with an individual player making enough money in one contract to pay off the national debt. So what if all the chicks dig his name...A-ROD. Well, at least he's a nicer guy than that jerk Barry Bonds...who is such a jerk that he wont allow his name to show up on MLB.com's Fantasy Baseball. Instead it says, "SF Left Fielder," and he is the only player whose name will show up like that this year.

That guy better stop juicing or go home.

Speaking of guys juicing, I was very disappointed to find out that good old Gary Sheffield is...or was a suspect. I guess everything is cool now because as far as I know he will be starting with the Yankees on April 5th.

Well, all you really need to know is that the Yankees are going to be a shoe-in for the World Series... aaaaagain.

Yaaaaaaawnnnnn...good job Red Sox...I blame YOU for screwing up the A-ROD trade! Thanks a lot!

Bronchos finish 4th in Kickingbird Classic

LSC North Standings 1. UCO 5-0 in North, 25-8 overall

Dayton, Hutson finish tied for 8th

2. East Central 3-1, 18-14

by Harry D. Gatewood

III Student Writer The Central Oklahoma men's golf team hosted the 18th Annual UCO/KickingBird Golf Classic Monday and Tuesday at the KickingBird Golf club in Edmond.

Overall, the Bronchos finished fourth in its two-day tournament.

Todd Dayton and Chris Hutson tied for eighth in the individual standings with 215 totals.

The Bronchos came out strong in the first round with a score of 283, right behind Northeastern State University, with a first round score of 282.

The Redmen brought a serious and steady attack in round two with another score of 282. The Bronchos finished round two with a solid score of 288.

With a total score of 571,

the Bronchos were seven shots behind the Redmen's total of 564, only one shot ahead of Cameron with 565, while St. Mary's in fourth with 572.

Todd Dayton and Chris Starke tied for eighth in the tournament's individual race after day one. Dayton finished with a score of 142, while Starke came through with a 146.

The Bronchos stayed fierce in the first round, but the second round of the tournament was a trail of adversity.

Dayton, Donnie Martin, and Starke each shot 73.

Dayton had a steady round with 15 pars, two birdies and only one bogey. He birdied the par- 3 sixth hole in making the turn at one-under 34, he gave that back with a bogey on No.13 and birdied the tough 466 - yard par - 4 finishing hole to finish off his 69.

Starke birdied Nos. 8 and 9 to make the turn at one-under 34, he fell back even with a bogey on the par 5-12th and

UCO Baseball Notes:

went back to one-under with a birdie at the par - 3 14th. The senior left bander then pared the last four holes for his 69.

Cruson was four-over on his last six holes, Dayton bogeyed his first four holes on the back nine and Starke double bogeyed his 17th hole.

Brandon Gainer, sparked UCO's Gold team with rounds of 70 -73, eagling the par 5 -12th hole in route to his even-par morning round.

The Bronchos received consecutive 73s from Matt Ellis, 71- 75 from Chris Hutson, 73 - 76 from Michale Vitale and 76 - 74 from Donnie Keim. David Fiegelman, shot 74 - 71 playing as an individual.

The 6,722-yard par course was good experience for the Bronchos.

Their next tournament is April 5th and 6th in Phoenix, Ariz. at the Grand Canyon/Thunderbird Invitational.
