Grads prepare for life after UCO by Tynesia Omopariola Staff Writer
The future plans of graduates vary. Some people have plans after college and some don't, but UCO's graduate will cross the stage May 6 or 7 to begin the next phase of their lives. Brad Butler is a general studies major at UCO. Butler played football at UCO and has been a student at the university for more than two years, since his transfer from Southwestern
State University. The 22-yearold from Austin, Texas_said he can't wait to graduate. "UCO is fun and has a great college atmosphere for students, but I'm ready to move on," Butler said. Butler said he wants to hang out with his friends and celebrate after commencement. Butler plans to spend two months in Hawaii with his best friend, return to Austin in October and join the police academy.

The UCO Student Association held its end of the semester banquet April 25 in Ballroom C in the Nigh University Center to bid farewell to outgoing officers and induct officer elects. Outgoing UCOSA Senate Pro Tempore Dallas Strimple opened the ceremony by presenting outgoing Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Don Betz with a copy of a bill passed in the senate designating April 25 as "Dr. Don Betz Day." "We want to try to celebrate his time here and give him a send-off," Strimple said. "This man has done amazing things for this campus." "I've been called a lot of things, but I've never had a day named after me," Betz said. Betz talked about his college experiences in student government and how difficult it was to realize the goals he set out to accomplish. He said he thinks the current UCOSA officers have done a good job reaching their own goals. "In the six and a half years

Job hunt not as bleak as it seems ■ Director of Career Services has an optimistic outlook for 2005 graduates by Callie A. Collins Staff Writer
"Caution: College graduate flipping burgers." "Caution: Living in a van down by the river." T-shirt slogans from UCO's Career Services Department echo a tongue-in-cheek warning as part of the "Where Will You End Up?" promotional approach adopted this past semester. For most college graduates, neither of the above
options represent the proposed actuality of their future roles in the labor force. Shannon Wilguess, director of Career Services, sees 2005 as a banner year in the regional job climate. Although Oklahoma has followed the so-called "recession trend" in the recent past, she remains optimistic and insists that opportunities abound for those who are adequately prepared. Wilguess cites the UCO Fall Career and Internship Fair as an example of employers' willingness to recruit prospective staff members through university sources. The event will be repeated for the first time in UCO history on Feb. 1, 2006 for the spring semester.
Located on the third floor of the Nigh University Center, Career Services offers advice for students including counseling, coaching for interviews and resume preparation assistance. It hosts a variety of how-to books, videos and pamphlets about various aspects of the employment odyssey, including posted job opportunities and internships. Wilguess notes that UCO students have the advantage of already having ties to the metro area, a definite plus for Oklahoma City and Edmondbased businesses whose supervisors may themselves be former student& Chesapeake, for example, revealed in 2004 that more than half of its degreed workforce is
made up of UCO graduates. She insists, however, that students should be flexible, willing to relocate and to give small towns with large industry a try. Rather than naming a specific major most likely to succeed this year, Wilguess defined key traits of flourishing graduates: polished writing skills, good grammar, eagerness to learn and a strong resume. Acing interviews also ranked high on her list. She said the interview is a chance to "build a relationship so that the recruiter remembers that special candidate." Graduates are requested to report their newly acquired positions to the Career Services
The "Walk This Weigh" program held its final weigh-in on April 25. The Student Health Advisory Committee-sponsored program, which started on Feb. 28, encouraged students, faculty and staff to increase their physical activity through walking over an eight-week period. The ultimate goal of the program was for participants to walk 10,000 steps in a day, which is about five miles. Of the 127 participants, 63 completed the 10,000 step challenge. "That is 50 percent of all participants, an improvement over last year when we had 40 percent," said Danielle Dill, assistant director for the Wellness Center programs and services. To have successfully met the challenge, participants had to

Students make professional transition with exhibit ■ Design seniors to showcase work in gallery exhibit 'N Transition' by Trisha Evans Staff Writer
Thirteen graduating students from the Department of Design will exhibit their work April 28 through May 13 at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds' City Arts Center.
"N Transition" is free and open to the public and opens with a two-hour reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. Payten Woolf, a student whose work is exhibited, said the title of the exhibit reflects their transition from college to a professional job. "But the designs in and of themselves also are a transitional process—showing the initial concepts to the finished products," Woolf said. The students design work runs the gamut from CD covers
and T-shirt designs to salsa bottle labels, said Jenkin Hammond, a student whose work is featured. "It's our portfolios on the wall," Hammond said. Larry Hefner, associate design professor, said the exhibit is predominately print media, but will also include some multi-media and pure illustration. Every semester, the Department of Design sponsors the senior design exhibit which has helped students obtain jobs
in the past, Hefner said. Hammond said the students sent invitations to businesses in the design industry. Students with work also featured in the show are Tammy Aderhold, Megan Barnes, Chad Bianco, Rusty Eldred, Lisa Hoang, Mirlinda Kadriu, Ross Morley, Mikael Paparisto, Keisha Pratt, Terri Shires and Cary Stringfield.

WHO:
I've been here I've seen a tremendous evolution in the UCOSA," Betz said. "You're at a public university, paid for with public money and part of what we do here is create the public good." Strimple and Barrett Dye, outgoing president pro tempore, gave a "Most Outstanding Senator" award to Ty Reidenbaugh, UCOSA senator for the Tri-Beta Biology Club. Strimple said the award was being given for the first time this year. Outgoing Speaker of the House Dan Ross then gave the "Most Outstanding Representative" award to Christina Petty. The outgoing officers then made short farewell speeches, starting with Ross. "I'm proud of our house, I'm proud of UCOSA," Ross said. "There's a fire in each and every one of us, now go burn this place down." Strimple then took the podium and said while he was sad he wasn't elected student body president in the recent elections, he would have been sadder if he hadn't been elected to his position as the senate president pro tempore. "As you guys know, the senate has meant everything to me my whole time here," he said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor: In his Column of April 21, Joseph Wertz criticized the Ford Motor Company for hawking their Mustang at the Earth Day festivities. He suggested that the under performing hybrids would have better fit the spirit of the occasion. The market that FMC was courting clearly prefers Mustangs over hybrids, as a short observational stroll through UCO's parking lot will demonstrate. I question the Planned Parenthood exhibit.

THE BODY POLITICK
When it comes to religion, people need common ground he Bible is the most contested piece of literature in existence. What many see as historical fact and religious instruction, others simply interpret as poetry and prose. Still others see the Bible as subversive or irrelevant and don't understand the significance it has to so many here in America. While it's true that our country gleans many structural, cultural and social elements from the Bible, its presence is contested with increased frequency. The Bible's merit as a document comes from the people that follow its
T
JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST doctrine, not the words that fill its pages. The religious debate represents an issue that is splitting our country into desperate factions. The Bible can easily bring out the worst in people, because no one wants
to find a common ground. The middle ground is the easy way out, so why are few people choosing it? This country is in desperate need of moderate zealots. With every political issue, parties take sides and push the radical extremes. For some it isn't enough to have the Bible mentioned in history class, an entire curriculum must be based around it. Others think that any mention of the Bible is divisive and its mere existence should be erased from textbooks. No one wants to give an inch, because they see a slippery slope with
every issue. The characters in too many debates here in the United States become larger than the issue itself could ever be. The people that incite the most change are the ones that make the most noise. But having the loudest issue doesn't mean you have the most relevant one. The majority of Americans fit comfortably in the middle ground, but we are largely silent. Maybe we don't all have issues we are passionate about, but the loudest speak for everyone - and they rarely speak to issues that real Americans care about.
After an entire school year of weekly submissions, this will be the last Body Politick. I appreciate the countless comments, critiques, letters and threats that I have received. It was always the intention of this column to point out inconsistencies, oddities and often times the obvious of political debates and issues. Thanks to everyone who has written or called, your feedback has been invaluable. UCO is your school. The Vista is as much your paper as you want to make it. Sincere thanks,

Al-Jaafari submits cabinet plan BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq's prime minister-designate presented his proposal for a broad-based Cabinet that draws in the country's main ethnic and religious groups to the presidential council on Wednesday in a step toward ending a crippling political stalemate. The announcement came hours after an Iraqi legislator was shot and killed by militants who stormed into her house in a middle class neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, underscoring fears that the political impasse has emboldened insurgents to step up deadly attacks in recent weeks, after a lull following the Jan. 30 elections.

BLAGNAC, France — The world's largest passenger plane, the Airbus A380, took its maiden flight Wednesday, cruising over the Pyrenees mountains in an aviation milestone that Europe's jetliner maker hopes will give it a leg up in its battle with American rival Boeing Co.

Dr. Terry M. Clark was named chairman of the new Department of Mass Communication April 21. The new department will house the communication and journalism departments when they merge July 1. "I am excited and concerned at the same time," Clark said. "The size of the department, in terms of faculty and majors is daunting. I know it's the right thing to do, and I've worked for it." His first task is to mold the existing departments into "one in spirit," he

As for fall 2005, Clark said he is planning a forum where students can have the opportunity to voice their concerns about the new department. Dr. Pamela Washington, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, said the faculty of the combined departments will vote April 28 to decide the assistant chair of the Department of Mass Communication. The professors running for the position are Dr. Keith Swezey, associate professor of communication, who was the only other opponent who ran against Clark for chair; Rozilyn Miller, communication instructor; and Dr. Steven Pratt, communication professor.

Coach Carter speaks to students, athletes on campus ■ Subject of 'Coach Carter' movie, released earlier this year, visits campus by Kelley Chambers Managing Editor
Ken Carter, better known as Coach Carter, the subject of a recent movie, spoke at the university April 26 at the Nigh University Center to about 60 students and student athletes. Carter came to fame in 1999 when he locked his high school basketball team in Richmond, Calif., out of the school gym and canceled games in the midst of an undefeated season. The reason for the lockout was that some students were failing classes, and he penalized the entire team. In the film "Coach Carter," released in January,, Samuel L. Jackson portrays Carter. As for the real Carter, he has taken two years off from coaching to make the film and bring his brand of motivational
speaking to students around the country. In the speech "Average is not good enough. PERIOD!," sponsored by the UCO Speakers Bureau, Carter touched on issues ranging from success in sports, to success in life and achieving personal goals. Carter entered Constitution Hall at 7:30 p.m. and spent a few minutes shaking hands and talking with those in attendance before being introduced, followed by the preview for "Coach Carter." "The only people in the U.S. who make money, work at the U.S. Mint," Carter said. "The rest of us have to earn it." Carter would not say what he was paid for the film, but assured the crowd that, "when I took my check to the bank, the bank bounced." He shared his experiences being a part of the movie, but told- the crowd--that when Paramount Studios first called him about the movie idea, he hung up on them. When he did decide to go ahead with the film, he said he

oversaw every aspect of casting and production, personally choosing Jackson to portray him. Carter, who worked with the cast training and rehearsing for four months, said, "Hollywood didn't take any liberties with the movie." Carter talked about his impoverished childhood in Macomb, Miss. and growing up with eight siblings. He said he told his mother at age eight that someday, someone would make a movie about him and he would in turn make her dreams come true. "I grew up in the hood," Carter said. "But the hood didn't come into our house." Carter said his family is still close, and all of his siblings live within a 10-mile radius of their mother.
Carter stressed the need for education and strong family bonds. He implored student athletes to make education and hard work a priority and to not rely on the prospect of playing professional sports in the future. "There are less than 5,000 jobs in pro sports," he said. Carter also stressed aiming high in every endeavor one undertakes. "If you think you can achieve something, you're right," Carter said. "If you think you can't achieve something, you're right." Carter answered questions from the crowd, then spent time meeting those in attendance, signing autographs and posing for photos. Afterward, Carter, who said he speaks on various motivational topics, said his speech at
UCO was tailored for student athletes. Carter said he wants athletes to understand that a good life is not dictated solely by how much money one earns. He said he wants students and athletes alike to be "thankful for the gifts they have." Carter said he will return to Richmond this fall to coach junior high basketball. "We need to catch these kids earlier to get them on the right path," Carter said. DeMario Gay, senior criminal justice major, said he saw fliers for the event and wanted to hear Carter speak, and was pleased with the result. "I think it was very informative and very entertaining as well," Gay said. Joe Murchison, junior exercise fitness management major,

said he has seen the movie about Carter and described it as an excellent movie. "I recommend everyone see it," he said. Janae' Brown, junior premed biology major, and Chez Redmond, junior international trade major, both waited nearly 15 minutes to meet Carter after the speech. "I loved his speech," Brown said. "It's amazing to see how blessed he is and how much he's given back to his community." Redmond said she had not heard of Carter prior to publicity for the movie, but said she found the speech inspirational. "If he could do it, I could do it," she said.

`Hitchhiker's Guide' successfully lands on earth by Eric Osborn Cartoonist/Reviewer
FILM REVIEW "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
Director: Garth Jennings Starring: Sam Rockwell,
Martin Freeman, Alan Rickman Could a sci-fi action adventure in space and time, crossing galaxy after galaxy with comedy and romance in a specialeffects extravaganza succeed in Hollywood? They have been succeeding for years already. In fact, for some studios, that's their bread and butter. And with the impending release of "Star Wars" this summer, there will be a definite interest in that very genre.
Fortunately, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" isn't the average sci-fi fare. The books on which the film is based have been required reading in classrooms for years, so interest in a faithful adaptation is significant. Fortunately, it has been translated to the big screen with few hiccups, and likely won't disappoint fervid fans of the series. For those of us with a tepid knowledge beforehand, be prepared for a funny romp through space that exercises your imagination from time to time. The film begins by telling the audience that humans are the third most intelligent species on the planet, preceded by dolphins that have been trying to inform us of earth's impending doom. Our ignorance of the dolphin's language is damning, and they eventually
fly away (literally) leaving us with the message, "So long, thanks for the fish." Arthur (Martin Freeman) is your average bachelor trying to deal with the recent bulldozing of his home when his alien friend Ford Prefect (Mos Def, who seems alien anyway) quickly grabs him and takes him aboard an alien ship moments before the entire planet earth is completely destroyed. No time is wasted on melancholy, however, because Arthur and Ford are subsequently captured by the Vogons, a species of mammoth drones that revel in bureaucracy and , bad poetry. A chance dialing on a cell phone saves the lives of both wanderers as other space rogues quickly scoop them up. On the ship we meet the lovely Trish (Zooey Dechanel), the manic depressive robot Marvin
(Alan Rickman) and Zephod, the President of the Galaxy (Sam Rockwell). Then, at the press of a button, we begin traipsing throughout the galaxy in search of the meaning of life. Sort of. What follows could be described as a cross between "Ghostbusters" and "The Fifth' Element." It is on these misadventures that we learn about Arthur's timid nature and Trish's need to explore new territory. Sam Rockwell plays Zephod as an intergalactic "Dubya" trying to satisfy his ego, southern accent and all. Unfortunately for Rickman, Marvin is barely utilized in the story at all, not even as a sight gag. The real laughs in the movie come from the narrator who frequently chimes in to describe technology or intergalactic cir-
cumstances. They mostly consist of punch lines taking a literal, physical form and seem to be directly lifted from the novels. This might be bad form, but they are completely necessary in order to hold the film's preposterous nature intact. Mos Def seems to enjoy his character in the first half, but is woefully devoid of dialogue in the final act. Rockwell's characterization is understandably overthe-top, but somehow lacks the charm of Mos Def's Ford. The films weak points are Arthur and Trish. Bland as ever, these two supposed lovebirds rarely grab your interest. Their romance contains no chemistry and seems banal the instant Arthur says she's "the one." Mos Def isn't given nearly enough screen time or dialogue, and Marvin comes across as completely unnecessary.

The film is strongest when it aims to be a sharp criticism of society and politics. Its religious parody is silly, but be damned if it doesn't make you chuckle. The humor miraculously sidesteps being pretentious or preachy, even when addressing war or humanity's destructive nature. "Hitchhiker's" has a kind of "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it as well. All the characters and designs hold up pretty well, but the planets could use a little bit more imagination. The film stands as an entertaining and lighthearted adventure story that consistently keeps your attention.

100 YEARS OF FOOTBALL
Photo by Justin Avera
Head Coach Chuck Langston speaks to the crowd at the "Century of Football" event April 25.
â– The University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos celebrated 100 years of football with a present for Wantland Stadium by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer
The UCO football tradition was celebrated at the "Century of Football" event April 25 at Wantland Stadium. The event included a preview of the construction Wantland Stadium is currently undergoing after 100 years of Broncho football. The first phase of the project was an estimated $2 million, said News Bureau Director Charles R. Johnson. The first phase of the project began in 2003 with a facelift.. Wantland Stadium was furnished with artificial turf, new lighting and a state-of-the-art scoreboard. The stadium is now in the second phase of construction, which will cost about $15 million. This phase will include the installation of new seats on the east and west
side of the stadium and a three-level press box. The top section of the press box will be used as the camera mezzanine, the mid section will be the standard press and coaches section and the bottom section will be used for V.I.P and club seats. "To have a stadium like this and come in here and play is exciting," said Head Coach Langston. This gives us a lot of momentum going into the off-season to be out here working and look up and see the development of our_stadinm. and watchit grow. I think construction means good things are happening." Flintco Construction Company is in the process of adding 2,355 seats on the west side of the stadium in addition to 1,500 on the east side. The second phase will increase seating capacity to 12,000.
Money to help renovate Wantland Stadium has been allocated from students and others bills passed to generate funding after UCO passed the $3 per credit hour student referendum in 2002. President W. Roger Webb said March 2002 was the first time our students voted online in a 48-hour yes/no referendum that passed by 70 percent. The referendum put the transformation of Wantland Stadium under way. "The new stadium will hold several events being the hot spot for Edmond,"according to Athletic Director Bill Farley. Wantland Stadium is the home field for all three Edmond High School teams, Memorial, North and Santa Fe. "With the new stadium, UCO will look to have our own Bricktown Ballpark here, with stratic panel siding, lighting, great scoreboards and
other venues that add to the eminence of the game. We're excited about bringing all that in to Edmond," Farley said. "This is an added item in recruiting," Langston said. "This will probably be the first thing you showcase when you bring new recruits in. "You can only do so much as a coach. It's really up to the administrators and them believing in what you are doing and having a vision. We have a Cadillac, so to speak, as far as selling the University," Langston said. The stadium is,..ach,eduled to be completed some time in mid-August before the Bronchos take the field on Sept. 10 for the season opener of the 2005 football season against West Texas A&M University. "I think the stadium itself will lend itself to a lot of marketing opportunities, which will lend itself to more cap-
ital. Obviously, we need about $5 or $6 million worth of capital improvements," Farley said. "We are really not a school that is going to generate a lot of private dollars at this point, but we think corporate support will come our way." Wantland Stadium was named after Head Coach C.W. Wantland. The Bronchos began play in Wantland Stadium on Sept. 18, 1965 with a 31-0 romp over the College of Ozarks from Ark. President Webb said, "This is just a taste of what is happening. UCO will have the finest small-college stadium in America."

FROM THE SPORTS DESK
A final farewell from The National Sporting Desk... This is not a sports column, it's a farewell column. That's right. The Heart of the American Dream gurgled its last nicotine and caffeine-laden squirt through the campus veins last semester and come Friday, From the National Sporting Desk will shut down as well. *Wipes away a tear* I'm a senior and next Saturday is Reckoning Day for my college career. I'm pretty sure I'm still going to graduate, though in my mind, I've been out of college for quite some time now. I think my grades probably show that... But nevermind that. Now is a time of reflection for anybody who is in my same position. So, like a sparkling pool of fresh urine on the street in front of a big end-of-the-year house party, reflect I will. My columns, as you may or may not know, were never meant to sway or alter opinions or even argue for or against facts. They rarely had facts in
GAVIN D. ELLIOTT SPORTS EDITOR them, and if they did, I probably made them up. They were meant solely as humor pieces, which, gauging from some of the letters I received, people need...a lot. Some may call me a defeatist or a cop-out for not writing on "pressing issues." Not true. I just don't think a personal column is going to change the world, or even a community, so why pretend? A columnist could write until his wrist wiggled off at the joint about
how much Republicans suck or viceversa. But it still wouldn't change the fact that they both suck. Instead of allowing my voice to fade amongst the millions of columnists shouting through bullhorns about change or no change, I opted for the higher road of fart jokes and obscure metaphors that sometimes made even myself cringe. I'm not a defeatist. I just choose not to shout when those who listen only listen so they'll have something to agree or disagree with — never to listen for something as a catalyst for change. I wrote my columns to make people laugh, and if just one person laughed out loud while reading one of them...well, I wasn't writing them funny enough, now was I? One of my favorite authors, Tom Robbins, said in one of his books, "Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious
UCO aewptle,24, 14;4
and immature." Right now, humanity is indeed uptight and sober and it is clear that this uptightness is detrimental to us all. The only cure, as I see it, is fart jokes. But that's enough editorializing. I have to say my thank-yous. Because for every' scathing letter I received, either threatening me or chastising — I received both kinds — I got many more compliments. Most of them in person, which is much more rewarding. People telling me the only reason they picked up The Vista was to read my column, curious about what I'd ramble about next, which was flattering and simply re-enforced my belief that for every stick-in-the-mud, there were five more people who knew how to have a good time and still function in a working society. To those people out there — thank you. To the sticks-in-the-mud — I stick my fingers in my ears and...TttHhhppPt...rapidly blow air over my tongue in your general vicini-
ty. Yeah. And so much for that... So in closing, I will say that I'm a sentimental guy. I spent many hours here in the halls of The Vista, pounding on keys and downloading and editing photos, and I've loved every minute of it. I've also kept every draft of every column I've written here, all marked up and bloody red with the harsh pen of my editor. Memories...all memories. I get teary-eyed each time I look over them. But they are for sale. That's right. If anyone wishes to purchase any of these authentic first drafts, bloody red ink an all, contact either Caroline Duke or Lauren Pulsinelli at ext. 5548. Tell them you want a piece of history. Thanks UCO.
