UCO students participate in nationwide service day

Memorial marathon to honor bombing victims

by Heather Warlick Staff Writer

Hundreds of UCO students joined together in the spirit of community service for the Big Event, April 8, an annual opportunity for students nationwide to volunteer for various non-profit causes.

Nearly 30 groups of students from various campus associations gathered in Plunkett Park to start the Big Event with a speech from movie actor and activist Danny Glover.

Glover and Steve Kreidler, UCO's executive vice president engaged in a question-andanswer session after Glover's speech.

At about 11:30 a.m. the students broke off into their groups and traveled to the various sites where they volunteered. More than 400 UCO students participated in the many service projects of the day.

About 40 students worked at Martin Park Nature Center, 5000 W. Memorial Road, maintaining the 3.5 mile trail. They picked up debris and spread dirt and clay over the gravel trail to help prevent erosion.

At Northwest Classen High School, volunteers gave the front office, the Little Theater and the courtyard a make-over.

UCO's international sorority, Sigma Lambda Gamma members, Natalia RiverOs and Alex Castellano painted the stage a bright shade of purple while other UCO students, faculty and staff installed a new counter in the office, new lighting in the theater and benches in the courtyard. UCO donated an old sound system from Mitchell Hall.

In two Oklahoma City neighborhoods, student workers teamed up with Habitat for Humanity to help build homes for low-income families.

UCO's Greek community performed its night of step routines April 5 in Constitution Hall in the Nigh University Center as part of Greek Week.

Step dances are rhythmically synchronized routines, with mostly percussive sounds of clapping and stomping, that incorporate drill-team moves and loud chants.

This is UCO's second year to perform a step show, said Norman Markland, recreation management senior, Greek Board member and Alpha Phi Alpha member.

"We started last year to combine different Greeks together to create Greek unity and a better community," Markland said.

"We started practicing about three weeks ago," said Chelsea Ross, nursing

sophomore and Sigma Kappa member.

"The purpose of Greek Week is that we come together and compete and get to know each other," Ross said.

Ross said each fraternity and sorority has one member in each of the 15-member teams. Four teams performed their step routines.

Ross said they have tryouts for Greek members who want to perform.

"We actually all contributed to the steps, and each house came up with steps," Ross said.

Greek members helped with the promotion of the blood drive on campus, April 6-7. They also participated in the Big Event, a national community service day held on college campuses, April 8.

OPINION: HEALTH

oking 101: Throw out your coffee maker and spice up your daily Java fix Decaf or regular. Triple mocha or just black.

Morning, noon or night. You crave it. You can't start your day without the delicious aroma. And there are now more choices than ever regarding its selection. No matter when or how you take your coffee, an option is readily available for every palate these days with the blended concoctions that crop up around campus and over the lunch counter.

There's nothing like a steaming mug of joe to restore your enthusiasm for springtime after a rainy afternoon. Owning a coffeemaker may seem like a lifetime necessity from high school on, but instant varieties in charming modish canisters suffice for the appliance-deprived.

Lack of counter of space shouldn't keep you from regularly enjoying a steamed cappuccino, which can quickly become an expensive habit at local coffee bars.

Try a just-add-water assortment from the growing array that now include powdered milk, hazelnut and just about any favorite ingredient you'd normally order. You can also reduce fat content, control the quantity of any flavored extracts and add extra whipped cream, all without the jargon and pretentiousness of a cafĂŠ environment.

For the perfect cup of coffee, choose a blend from geographic areas known for its extraordinary production, like Colombia or Costa Rica.

Store ground beans in an air-tight container or freeze for later use. Regardless of whether you're preparing instant or brewed, boil the milk or cream first to condense its flavor. Use skim for a low-fat latte, or gently spoon away the smooth layer that forms over the surface of 2%. Add any syrups, extracts or sugar to the hot mixture, and stir thoroughly. Enjoy immediately with a cozy wrap as you watch the rain fall.

The following recipes feature coffee as the

main ingredient in beverages and desserts, quick pick-me-ups for espresso enthusiasts and occasional indulgers alike.

His tutoring experience inspired Glover to go back to school, and he graduated from San Francisco State University.

While at college, he was inspired by a poet that came to his school who was a part of the black arts movement. The poet and other performers who visited his university were unpaid and offered free admission.

Glover said because of his epilepsy, he considered himself a closet introvert, but the first time he stepped onstage, he knew he was of some use, and that feeling transformed him.

"It was my first involvement with art, my first involvement with acting," he said. "I was really situated in a place where what I was doing had a direct impact on a group of people.

Performing does that."

He said he thinks his political activism came long before that, while growing up during the civil rights movement.

Chirac Announces Divisive Youth Jobs Law Will Be Replaced PARIS (AP)—After weeks of protests and strikes, President Jacques Chirac announced plans Monday to "replace" a law that would have made it easier for companies to fire workers under age 26.

The deal represents a defeat for Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, who had insisted on the law as a means of reducing high unemployment rates among young people.

Chirac's office said the president decided to "replace" a key provision of the law with a measure aimed at "youths in difficulty."

A somber Villepin then made a brief statement on national television.

"I wanted to act quickly, because the dramatic situation and the despair of many youths demanded it," he said, explaining the original legislation.

Many youths and unions feared the contract would damage coveted job security, but Villepin said he had sought a "better balance ,.. between more flexibility for the employer and more security for workers."

"This was not understood by everyone, I'm sorry to say," he said.

But a breathtakingly close battle for second place left unanswered whom Humala would face _ pro-business former congresswoman Lourdes Flores or Alan Garcia, a center-left ex-president.

Peru's elections authority said official results with 52.7 percent of the vote counted did not accurately reflect national will. Analysts put greater trust in an unofficial vote sample from the respected election watchdog group Transparencia. It gave Humala 29.9 percent, with Flores barely edging Garcia with 24.4 percent to 24.3 percent, respectively.

Since no single candidate won a majority on Sunday, the top two finishers will meet in late May or early June in a runoff

Not only are interest rates climbing, but Phil Mickelson won the Masters carrying two of them in his golf bag.

If you think the left-hander wearing a green jacket for the second time in three years went over big with the lords and patrons of Augusta National, imagine the wild celebrations late Sunday in the living room of any CEO lucky enough to be in the business of selling clubs.

They were just granted a second license to steal.

The last somebody to play a major with two drivers in the bag was Ian Woosnam in the final round of the 2001 British Open. He was trying out both at the range and his caddie forgot to leave one behind -- a mistake that cost the Welshman a twostroke penalty, a shot at winning, $300,000 in prize money and the chance to lock up a spot on Europe's Ryder Cup team.

Mickelson, on the other hand, never, ever does anything accidentally.

In the same way that he used spreadsheets and graphs of his past performances at Augusta to plot his strategy in winning in 2004, he began planning for this one several weeks ago.

Mickelson hatched the idea of carrying two drivers while mulling over how to counter the additional length Masters chairman Hootie Johnson tacked onto the course, not to mention bigger bunkers and a forest of pine trees, that sprouted up all over the place.

So last weekend at the BellSouth Classic, Mickelson put both in his bag and took

them for a test-drive -- one to draw the ball left to right, with a maximum distance of about 310 yards; the second to fade it right to left, with a limit of 290.

He complied with the 14-club limit by leaving the sand wedge in the car trunk, then finished 28 under par and won by a staggering 13 strokes.

"I needed it to combat the added length at Augusta, but this is probably the only course that I'll do it," Mickelson said afterward. "I don't know where else I'll end up needing to do it."

But Mickelson might want to rethink that, based on what he did at the beefed-up Augusta layout. Mickelson won the long-drive contest, averaging 297.5 yards per drive, nearly four yards farther than his closest pursuer and Sunday playing partner Freddie Couples.

His accuracy wasn't nearly as impressive -- he hit 35 of 56 fairways, or 62.5 percent, a AP number that tied him for 36th.

Even so, he launched even way- Phil Mickelson, right, embraces Fred Couples after winning the ward drives far enough to take 2006 Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga. April 9 the heat off his approach shots.

He tied for fourth in reach- tactic. Bombers like Couples ... pros to stitch the company's ing the greens in regulation -- and Ernie Els sounded almost name and logo on the bag ...

Right.

What all that added up to same swing.

'Lucky Number Slevin' has it all, even Bruce

•

by Nathan Winfrey

Senior Staff Writer

It seems that making a good American ensemble crime caper without Bruce Willis is like trying to make a cake without eggs. With "Pulp Fiction," "The Whole Nine Yards" and "Sin City" on his resume, the "Die Hard" veteran seems to always pop up when the body count is high, plot twists abound and the cast looks like the guest list for Quentin Tarantino's birthday party.

With more twists and turns than a snake trying to do Pilates in zero gravity, "Lucky Number Slevin" is the story of a man named Slevin (Josh Hartnett) who everyone thinks is someone else. This is very bad for Slevin, because this person owes money to two of the city's most dangerous crime bosses: the Rabbi ',Ben Kingsley) and the Boss (Morgan Freeman). With relentless cop Brikowski (Stanley Tucci) on his tail and mysterious hit man Mr. Goodkat (Bruce Willis) playing both sides, Slevin must navigate the seedy criminal underworld with the help pf Lindsey (Lucy Liu) and somehow make it out alive.

This situation would probably be stressful for most people, but instead of fearing for his life like he should be, Slevin saunters around a borrowed apartment as nonchalant as "Office Space's" hypnotized Peter Gibbons, cracking jokes and pursuing the pretty girl across the hall.

It's hard to talk to people about "Lucky Number Slevin" without them thinking you've mispronounced

something. That's because most people haven't heard of it and the title's clever play on words is lost on them.

Something is wrong with a marketing strategy when the names "Freeman," "Willis" and "Kingsley" top the acting credits and people aren't clamoring to get in the door.

They should be.

Not since Guy Ritchie dominated the genre with his British crime flicks "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch" has such gruesome subject matter been so much fun to watch.

The comedy is well-placed and the plot keeps you guessing, the characters are interesting and quirky, and you never feel the need to check your watch. Missing even five minutes of this movie will likely mean missing out on several key pieces to the puzzle, so go easy on the large cokes or you'll be in for a painful final half-hour.

Though witty and enjoyable, "Lucky Number Slevin" doesn't hit the high notes like "The Usual Suspects" or even Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." Granted, those movies are far grittier and have a drastically different tone, but elements are similar and solid laughs are no excuse for a weak dismount. The ending is shocking even though it shouldn't be; the clues are in plain sight and you'll kick yourself when it's over for not noticing them sooner, but I must admit that parts of it are a bit contrived, as much as' I' would like to have nothing bad to say about this movie, and there is a running gag or two that gets old after

In a case of mistaken identity, Slevin (Josh Hartnett), right, finds himself under constant surveillance by the infamous assassin Goodkat (Bruce Willis) in 'Lucky Number Slevin.'

a while.

It might take some convincing to rally your friends to see this one, especially with the other good movies out right now, but you must. "Lucky Number Slevin" is a great movie for someone entering with moderate expectations, and a decent offering for someone expecting another "L.A. Confidential."

Liu's bubbly, so-annoying-she's-cute character is portrayed perfectly and is my favorite in the movie.

Her character is like night and day compared to her "Kill Bill" Yakuza boss or her "Domino" lesbian police interrogator, but her importance seems to lag near the third act. Hartnett, also a "Sin City" alumnus, is unexpectedly - gq0*,,the. lead,r0eand doesiVtlade away when he shares the screen with the cinema legends working on

the same set. Their chemistry is believable and their scenes together are as entertaining as the shootouts and more than just a parenthesis between which bullets fly, necks snap and things explode.

"Lucky Number Slevin" offers a satisfying night at the movies, while what's showing in the rooms to the left and to the right are likely huge cinematic disappointments. See this one before you forget about it, and don't let someone tell you it stinks.

Chances are those people are overly critical or just didn't understand what was going on. My money is on the latter.

JAPAN from page 5 enjoy our performance," said Aya Kogiso, 2-D studio art senior, who will perform nichibu, a traditional dance.

"The usual version is performed by only women, but this is includes one man. We hardly do this, so I hope a lot of people come and see our rare performance," Kogiso said.

The tickets are $3 which includes food. But Japanese food is $1 for anyone who does not have a ticket.

Kimoto said he hopes the event will be held annually at UCO, but he said the first

event's success is key.

TENNIS: Women collect two in ACU Spring Classic from page 10 all three matches," head coach Francis Baxter said.

"We outplayed New Mexico, and we were a bit better than McMurry," Baxter said.

"Abilene is just very good, but we didn't play like we were the underdogs."

Domi Kovacikova, freshman, said the team didn't stress about the outcome of the matches like they usually do, and they were able to enjoy playing their matches.

"I felt really good playing my matches, and I think the other girls did too," she said.

AgainstAbilene, UCO picked up a three-set singles win from

freshman Amy Cabato.

Cabato held on after a tough first set to defeat Sandra Vucic 1-6, 7-6, (10-4).

In doubles, freshmen Dasha Titkina and Julie Vo defeated Sarah Drummond and Lana Pavlin 8-2.

Cabato and Kovacikova lost to Holly Lindloff and Elizabeth Korinek 5-8 but thought they could have come back if they played smarter.

"We could have changed the outcome of the match, but I think we were not prepared to play them," Kovacikova said.

She said their initial strategy was to keep the ball away from

one of the ACU players who constantly goes to the net. But after seeing her continue to go after balls, they decided to go for their shots.

"Once we started powering our shots, she was a lot more tentative to poach the shots," Kovacikova said.

The Bronchos are now 3-11 on the year.

The Bronchos return to action April 14-15 when they host the Broncho Tennis Festival. UCO will face Southwest Baptist, Drury and Emporia State.

Kristen Limam can be reached at klimam@thevistaonline.com.

GOLF: Golfers going strong into conference tourney from page 10 "This team made the shots that we needed at the end," said Mitch Boles, sophomore from Marlow. "We knew that we could win this tournament, just like we know we have a great shot at winning all of our tournaments."

Boles, a sophomore from Marlow, Okla., has finished in the top eight of all five tournaments played this spring.

Next for both the men's and women's teams is the Lone

Star Conference championships April 17-18 in Trophy Club, Texas.

"We really want to play well in the conference tournament," Kelley said. "All of us have to approach this like it is like any other tournament and take it one shot at a time."

Dayton also understands the importance of playing well at the conference tournament.

"Winning the conference is our first goal," he said. "We

haven't won this tournament in two years, and we look forward to playing for it."

After the conference tournament is the national tournament, which is made up of 20 teams. Each of the top-four fmishers of the regional tournaments will compete for the 2006 NCAA Division II National Championship.

SWEEP: Bronchos continue to pull in wins at home from page 10 goal. When we pull it off it keeps the flow of the game in our favor," Simmons said.

With the game 5-1 in the bottom of the forth inning, Bacon doubled into centerfield and scored Yost. The Redmen committed two errors allowing the Bronchos to have a big threerun inning and open up a 8-1 lead.

The Bronchos continued scoring runs with two in the fifth inning and one in the sixth.

Good defense and solid pitching prevented NSU from mounting a comeback.

"All of our pitchers turned in good performances, " Simmons said. "If you add up the runs allowed in this series, few of them were earned."

In the second game of the doubleheader, the Bronchos again opened up a big lead early. A seven-run second inning and a four-run third inning put the game out of reach for the Redmen.

Tim Sullivan's two-run, twohit and four-RBI performance led the Bronchos. Sullivan, junior from Leedey, Okla., is a transfer from Eastern Oklahoma College and was named first team All-Conference as a sophomore after leading the Mountaineers in batting average (.381) and runs batted in (44) while tying for the team lead in home runs (5).

Marcus Lara pitched a full seven-inning game and only allowed two hits and zero runs.

The win brings his overall season record to 2-0. Lara, junior from Wichita, Kan., is a transfer from Butler Community College.

"Our regular pitcher was hurt," Lara said. "Coaches wanted me to step into the role of a starting pitcher. I am a closer (pitcher) so the goal was to keep the pitch count low and just- try to get outs." -With the wins, the Bronchos remain second in the LSC North Division, a full game behind Cameron. The two teams meet in a doubleheader 2 p.m. April 12 at Bronchos Field.

Bronchos sweep series against NSU

by Teddy Burch

Sports Writer The UCO baseball team improved to 26-13 and 8-2 in Lone Star Conference play with a three-game sweep over Northeastern State April 8-9 in Edmond.

The Bronchos won big in all three games, scoring 11-1, 15-5 and 12-0. The wins also bring head coach Wendell Simmons his 500th career victory.

"I am pleased with the milestone," Simmons said. "It speaks a lot about the players and coaches that have been at this university."

In the third game of the weekend, the Bronchos recorded 15 runs, 17 hits and 13 RBIs. Brandon Blackburn, junior from Seminole, led the team with two runs, two hits and two RBIs. "We all just relaxed," Simmons said. "It makes all the difference in the world when the bats just start rolling and the hits start adding up. It takes a lot of the pressure off the pitchers."

The Bronchos got off to a fast start with five runs in the
