UCOSA senate elects leaders for next term ■
Nazari, Dye to serve as president, deputy president pro tempore for 2005-2006 by Michael Robertson Staff Writer The UCO Student Association senate met April 18 in the Robert S. Kerr Room of the Nigh University Center to elect their new president and deputy president pro tempore for the next school year.
Jonathan Nazari, UCOSA senator for the Resident Hall Association and parliamentarian for the International Student Council was elected the new deputy president pro tempore. "I'm stoked," Nazari said. Barrett Dye, current deputy president pro tempore, was elected the new president pro tempore. "I've always felt the senate was my home," Dye said. To be considered for the positions, each person that wanted to run had to be nomi-
nated by a member of the senate and have that nomination seconded by another senator. There were three nominees for deputy president pro ternpore: Nazari, Cindy Munson, current senator for the Old Blue Crew, and Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature Senator Danielle Latimer. The nominees for president pro tempore were Dye and Public Relations Student Society of America Senator Jason Hines. Each candidate got a chance
to speak to the senate before the assembly voted. Candidate speeches started with those running for deputy president pro tempore. Latimer said she is heavily involved in OIL and thinks she has learned a lot about parliamentary procedure. She said she wants to use her knowledge to help those in student government become more familiar with the rules so they can be more involved. "I love UCO and believe UCOSA senate is a vital con-
nection between the students and administration," Latimer said. During her speech, Munson said as deputy president pro tempore she would have two priorities: to serve as a liaison between the senators and the president pro tempore and "because of enthusiasm and love for UCO." "I'm excited about this organization," Munson said, "but mostly about UCO." Nazari made his speech, emphasizing his roles as parlia-
mentarian for the International Student Council and his connection to the Residence Hall Association as ways he can further the interests of the senate if elected. He also talked about his love of UCO as a reason he should be elected. "I love UCO. I live on campus, and I'll live on campus until I graduate," Nazari said. Then Hines made his campaign speech. He said he was

Cadets wrap up semester with final competition
Republicans hold political barbecue
by Ashlie Campbell Staff Writer
by Nathan Winfrey Student Writer After months of planning, the UCO College Republicans held an "Animal Rights Barbecue" April 18 by Broncho Lake. The event drew organization members, KWTV News9 and curious passersby to the cookout, which featured speakers Brett Farley, Republican Party chairman of Logan County; Ron Black, host of the conservative "Ron Black Program" on WKY; and Republican State Representative Ken Miller, along with seventy-five pounds of meat, said Kyle Houts, president of UCO College Republicans.

The UCO Greek community celebrated its 55th anniversary this week with a series of events, which will conclude with a 5K race to benefit the United Way. The events are designed to, "promote and build unity in the UCO Greek community," said Daresa Poe, Greek life adviser. A presentation and reception on April 22 will showcase Greek history on campus at 5:30 p.m. in the Cherokee Room at the Nigh University Center. "Everyone is welcome to attend," Poe said, "and special
invitations will be sent to charter members of the first UCO Greek house and all other Greek alumni will be invited." Poe said UCO's first sorority, Delta Sigma Eta, was founded April 22, 1950. The Pi Kappa Sigma sorority was founded the next day. The two merged into one sorority, Sigma Kappa, in 1959. The first UCO fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon was chartered April 23, 1957. Poe said both are still active on campus. In recent years seven traditionally ethnic fraternities and sororities have joined UCO's eleven other Greek houses. "It's really cool to be a part of the Greek system instead of just promoting one house," said Nick Gray, Interfratemity Council president. "I think that's where we're heading towards."
Ten ROTC cadets will cornpete in the Ranger Buddy Competition April 22 — 24 at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. The cadets will pair up to form five "Buddy" teams and compete against about 50 other teams from around 22 universities. The ten UCO cadets attending are Michael Behenna, James Wallenfelsz, James Dougherty, Paula Williams, Jeremy McCool, Shelby Williams, Aaron Love, Ryan Rhodes, Christopher McWhirter, Joshua Hollman, Kyle Thomason and Cody
Willis. There will be seven different tasks for the cadets to complete, including knot tying, assembling and disassembling weapons, a physical training test and a timed road march. "Being a part of the Broncho

OPINION April 21, 2005
LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor, It was certainly interesting to hear the different opinions voiced on the issue of a smoke-free UCO campus. The problem is, I don't think that many of the people who voiced their opinion are smokers in the first place. People who smoke cigarettes are not stupid. They know exactly what happens with prolonged smoking, and most want to quit. No one likes to be forced, however, and people like even less to be lectured to by those who have no idea what they are talking about. It is a fairly sure bet that many of those writing in that survey occasionally (snicker) like to drink alcohol. There are many health problems resulting from alcohol as well, yet no drinker, social or otherwise, would like to be told that they need to quit "because it's bad for you." We know that, they know that, we all know that. Let's

have a little less sanctimony and a little more understanding. You don't want us to smoke in front of the doors? Fine, I understand. Then let's have a sheltered place to smoke. And here's an idea! Let's move those ashtrays more than 10 feet from the door! If you're smoking, you're going to tend to congregate around the ashtray! This article may never be printed, probably won't be printed, and it may be a little harsh, but to the girl with the grandmother who got emphysema? Maybe she should stay away from 50 smokers at once. That will cut that secondhand smoke problem at least in half. And the same to all the self-righteous prigs that start to fakecough as they walk by smokers in front of the much-mentioned LA building, give it a rest. Chris Nehls History freshman

STAFF EDITORIAL
Pope Benedict XVI: business as usual pondered the pontiff's words and advice. John Paul II achieved a sort of pop culture fame with nonCatholics and attained an almost celebrity status, putting aside the notion of a stodgy old pope. Then again some pope's have not been so popular. Pope Pius XII may have sympathized with Hitler and exhibited a reticence to treatment of Jews in World War II. But that was in the past. Since then, pope's have been on a peaceful mission. John Paul traveled the world spreading the message of love and peace, though on the more conservative end.
f individuals are Catholic or not, even those who are not religious, should pay attention to who is occupying the top spot in Vatican City because popes play a large role in society, world politics and policy making. U.S. presidents understand the role of the pope and are often likely to consider the pope's advice on a matter as much as that of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi when Italy weighs in on an issue. President Bush might have repeatedly called the last pope "sir" during one meeting and gone the opposite direction when facing war in Iraq, but you can bet he
I
Reports from around the world reflect Catholics who support the German pope, and others who feel his conservative doctrine will be more of the same in church policy. Some are speaking out that this new pope will stagnate the church rather than leading it forward. As the right hand man of John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI will probably push the church in much of the same direction as the former pontiff did. And so far it looks like conservative church doctrine will reign for the duration of the 78year-old pontiff's term. There is early speculation that perhaps an older pope was chosen
to keep things pretty much business and usual, then the church might be ready for some new blood in a few years. So Catholic or not, keep an eye on the new pope and watch his sway over world leaders, because while he might appear to be merely a figurehead, his influence will be felt and his legacy decided by his actions in an ever-changing world.

THE BODY POLITICK
Americans should celebrate Earth Day by switching gears
T
he UCO campus celebrated Earth Day on April 20 with a campus fair. There were booths from gardening organizations, and the vegetarian advocates, as always, were out in force. These events always cater to "event mongers," who use any gathering of people to push their club or organization. College students are used to this and can filter out legitimate clubs from ones just trying to use any opportunity to give a sales pitch. But the majority of the organizations, large and small made at least
JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST some attempt to adopt an "earth-centric" motif for the campus fair. Well, everyone except the Ford Motor Co. Brochures featuring the 2005 Mustang GT were being passed out to
students, talking to conservationists and standing at booths explaining principles of water conservation. The Mustang is a car that has a fuel economy of about 18 miles per gallon, and showcasing it at an Earth Day festival seems like a bad joke. And if that weren't enough irony, this took place on the same day that Ford officials reported that their first quarter profits fell by more than one third due to poor sales. Ford does offer fuel-efficient vehicles, such as their hybrid escape, which gets more than 30 miles per gallon. But the hybrid vehicle was curiously miss-
ing from the brochure that was handed out. What planet is this company from? The Mustang is Ford's centerpiece. They were redesigned this year to capture the look of early mustangs and appeal to their target market. But that target market is growing increasingly small. American consumers are ultimately concerned with the bottom line, and are starting to realize that worrying about your bank balance and the environment don't have to be mutually exclusive. Ford is having a hard time switch-
ing gears. In spite of consumer demands for fuel efficiency, they lag behind other car companies in offering alternatives. Hybrids and fuel-efficient vehicles used to appeal to a fringe market of those truly concerned with the environment. But saving money is starting to appeal to everyone. There is a great lesson in this year's Earth Day — Large companies can no longer afford to live in their own world.

NEWS IN BRIEF
UCO muralist to be featured on weekend TV
New pope vows to work to unify Christians VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI pledged Wednesday to work to unify all Christians and reach out to other religions as he outlined his goals and made clear he would follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, Pope John Paul II. Benedict, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, listed top priorities of his papacy in a message read in Latin to cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel for the first Mass celebrated by the 265th leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
More than 50 bodies found in Iraq river BAGHDAD, Iraq — The bodies of more than 50 people have been recovered from the Tigris River and have been identified, President Jalal Talabani said Wednesday. The bodies were believed to have been those of hostages seized in the Madain region earlier this month. In a separate discovery, another 19 Iraqis were shot to death and left lined up against a bloodstained wall in a soccer stadium in the town of Haditha, about 140 miles northwest of Baghdad, an Iraqi reporter and residents said.
Inflation surge is biggest in five months WASHINGTON — Consumer prices jumped 0.6 percent in March, the biggest inflation surge in five months, as the costs of energy, clothing and airline fares all rose sharply. The Labor Department said last month's increase in the Consumer Price Index, the most closely watched inflation gauge, followed a 0.4 percent rise in February and left consumer inflation rising at an annual rate of 4.3 percent in the first three months of this year. That was a full percentage point above the 3.3 percent rise in prices for all of 2004.
White House renews support for Bolton WASHINGTON— The White House renewed support Wednesday for John R. Bolton to be the country's representative at the United Nations, a day after unexpected cracks in Republican support threw the nomination into limbo. "We need to get John Bolton to the United Nations because it is an important position," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "We need to get him there sooner rather than later." — from The Associated Press

Wall art that is experienced by Oklahomans every day at the state Capitol and the Will Rogers airport will be, featured in living rooms statewide in a television program at 6:30 p.m. April 23. The UCO mural painting program will appear on the television program "Discover Oklahoma," which has been filming mural painting students on campus as well as a mural site in Norman.
UCO is one of few universities to offer a mural painting class, said Dr. Bob Palmer, art instructor. "This class is a unique one in the state and the nation," Palmer said. "Murals are very popular around the world, and bring a great visual element to any community." Palmer said, in addition to teaching mural painting techniques, students are given opportunities to work with clients. "Part of their grade is meeting the client and developing a working idea," Palmer said.
Palmer said understanding the location is critical to painting murals. "The project depends entirely on the location," Palmer said, "You have to look for certain things like the height of the wall, and how much room you have to work with." Two-dimensional art major Cara Davis has enrolled in the class for two semesters, and thinks mural painting has an effect on the community. "Murals really brighten up peoples lives," Davis said, "They can really help people." Davis said the class offers

We have come a long way and I know my individual team, as well as the rest of the Broncho team, will be very successful at the competition."

`Royal Family' to end 'Random Acts' series by Trisha Evans Staff Writer Two UCO theatre professors will star in the "Royal Family" which will show at 7:30 p.m. April 21-23 and at 2 p.m. April 24 in Mitchell Hall. Written by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber in 1927, the play is a parody of the then stage-reigning Barrymore family. Daisy Nystul, assistant theatre professor, plays the dramatic "Julie Cavendish," and Dr. Don Bristow plays the loyal manager "Oscar Wolfe." Occasionally, faculty members are required in plays because of the demand and maturity of the role, said Dr. Bob McGill, theatre department chair. "The complexity of character Daisy
and Don are able to evoke will no doubt force their onstage partners to a new level of response and interaction," McGill said. Sara Craig plays the aging "Fanny Cavendish," and Terren Wooten plays the notorious "Anthony Cavendish." "I have everyone from a delightful freshman to the senior member of the faculty on that stage," said Donna Dickson, director of the play. Dickson said the "Royal Family" is her favorite play and she has been waiting to direct it for 30 years. Dickson said she saw "Royal Family" on Broadway in 1975. That year, Ellis Rabb won a Tony Award for best director and Rosemary Harris won for best actress for their work in the three-act play. "It was like watching theatre history," Dickson said. "It's probably why
I am still doing this today—it was magic." Dickson said they have trimmed down the play for contemporary audiences. "The set design for this is unbelievable," Dickson said. The set was designed to project the actor's voices because the actors are so far upstage, sometimes standing on the balcony or the stairs of the set. Tickets are $4 for UCO students, $7 for non-UCO students, $7 for UCO faculty, $12 for adults and $8 for senior citizens. For reservations, contact Mitchell Hall Box Office at 9743375. The April 21 performance of "The Royal Family" ends the two-day series of events, "Random Acts of Arts, Media & Design." A percussion ensemble concert
played April 20 at the Jazz Lab as part of the series. The College of Arts, Media & Design will also sponsor an art festival from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. April 21 on the south side of the Art & Design Building. Displays will include ceramics, metal work, jewelry, drawing, painting, textiles and fiber arts. Interior design displays will be on the first floor of Evans Hall. Dance, theatre and music performances will also be scheduled from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. around Evans Field in front of the Music Building and at the Blue Tent Pavilion at Broncho Lake. "Laundry and Bourbon," a secondseason theatre production will take place at 5:15 p.m. on the back porch of the Alumni House. Trisha Evans can be reached at tevans@thevistaonline.com .

UCO will receive a bye in the first round of the six- team LSC Tournament next week in Irving, Texas, and UCO will not play until April 22. The other four teams in the six-team LSC tournament will get started the night of April 21. UCO nailed the North's top seed, clinching a first-ever outright divisional crown for the Bronchos with records of 36-12 overall and a righteous 20-4 in the North. The six-team field is set for the Lone Star Conference Softball Postseason

Golfers prepare for upcoming Regionals
„,... . . ..
by Harry Gatewood III
Sports Writer • The University of Central Oklahoma men's golf team had their lowest finish of the season April 19 in Southlake, Texas, earning fifth place in the Lone Star Conference Men's Golf Tournament. The Bronchos shot a final-round 294 to finish the, two-day, 54-hole tournament with an 889 total. Northeastern State won the team title at 867, trimming defending champion Cameron by three strokes, while East Central was third at 880 and Southwestern Oklahoma fourth at 884. Todd Dayton led UCO with a scorching threeunder-par 69 that tied as the low round for the tournament, Donnie Martin had a one-over 73, Chris Hutson a 75, Sam Proal a 77 and Matt Ellis an 80.
On April 19 in Southlake Texas, the University of Central Oklahoma claimed the Lone Star Conference North title. Emily Kirk sank a four-foot par putt on the 18th hole to capture the individual title to lead the Bronchos to their second straight LSC Women's Golf Tournament championship. All four title-holding golfers shot between 76 and 78. The Bronchos had a closing 306, and finished the twoday, 36-hole tournament with a 625 total, claiming a six-shot Emily victory over Northeastern Kirk capState University. Texas A&M-Commerce tured the was third in the six-team event individual at the 5,820-yard, par-72 Hogan Course at the Trophy title April Club Country Club with a 633. 19. Kirk's 20-foot birdie putt from just off the green on the par-4 18th slid four feet past the hole. Kirk kept composure and, like any captain, she led the par putt right into action to grab the individual title. Kirk entered the day with a two-stroke lead, and shot a final-round 76, earning medalist hon-
Dayton had three straight birdies on No. 9 and10 and 11 to get to three-under and then made a swooping 15-foot eagle putt on the 523-yard par-5 16th to get to five-under before hitting out of bounds and double bogeying No. 17. He tied for 13th with a 221 total. Martin overcame a double bogey on No. 6 to par the last three holes on the front nine and make the turn at two-over 38. He birdied the par-5 10th hole to get back to one-over then parred his final eight holes to finish off the 73 that left him tied for 20th at 225. Todd The upcoming NCAA Division 11 South Central Dayton Regional will be held May 2 led UCO, through 4 in Valdosta, Ga.
shooting 3 underpar 69. ors by a stroke over NSU Allison Toomer. UCO received 76s from Claire Sturdivan and Ashley Kelley and Stephanie Blan shot 78. Sturdivan had a pair of birdies, closing with 76 and tied for sixth at 156. Kelley shot two birdies and rebounded from an opening-round 83 with a 76, finishing 11th at 159. Blan birdied the par-5 16th en route to finish 12th at 160. The Bronchos faced adversity playing with just four players as defending LSC champion Kelly Callison withdrew from the tournament early April 18, mourning the death of her grandfather. Kirk, the recently named LSC Freshman of the Year at the pre-tournament banquet, made the turn at two-over-par 38 with good balance on No. 11 and 12 to stay there. A floating tee shot led to a double bogey on No. 13, allowing Toomer to pull within a stroke, but Kirk parred the final five holes to stay atop. The Bronchos now prepare for the NCAA Division II West Regional, set for May 2-3 in Bellingham, Wash.
