Depending on their degrees, many students may find jobs easily or without luck.
by Stephanie Johnson
Staff Writer Despite the tough economy, some May graduates are finding that jobs are not hard to come by. Dr. Sue Lynn Sasser, assistant professor of economics, said unemployment filings are down, and job growth is increasing. Shannon Wilguess, director of Central's Career Services, said that many graduates from the College of Education have reported their job status. "It's up to students to selfreport," she said. "The College of Education is graduating a little less than 140 students and at least 70 of them have jobs."

Student Writer Nineteen graduating art majors will display their artwork in an exhibition show. The show will open at 2:30 p.m. May 8 at the gallery on the second foor of the Max Chambers Library. "It is the culmination of an art major's career at the university," said Julia Kirt, executive director of the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition and adjunct professor at UCO. "It is really their capstone project." Kirt co-teaches the Senior Exhibition Presentation class. All students participating in the show are senior visual art majors. Jewelry, ceramics, fiber, painting, photography, printmaking and mixed media will be displayed in the show. "There is a variety of work in this show," said Anndrea Ploeger, a formation art senior. "I am very proud of my friends and fellow artists." The Art Department expects a 200 to 400 people at the opening. "I am really looking forward to the the opening because many of these artists have never shown their work to the public before," Kirt said. "I think their family and friends and other attendees will be excited to see their skill and creativity." The art will be displayed at the gallery until mid-June. "Art is a tough major, which many people don't understand," Kirt said. "These students have poured their time, energy, slcill and, many times, emotions into their work."

by Lauren Pulsinelli Staff Writer Producing music and signing bands are just part of a day's work for Central students Joe Bosley and Bucky Dodd. Crimson Studios is the production company, and Ebony & Ivory Records is the label that Bosley and Dodd opened in Edmond along with Mike Pullin and Antonio McGlothin, a.k.a. Minister Kaine. "We have a production team that's good at catering to all types of music,"Bosley said. The original production team met at a Christian praise and worship group. They followed through on their idea to start a production company and named it Crimson Studios because, "Crimson is the color of Christ's blood," Bosley said. The company was started two years
ago with state and government grants "Anything that has to do with music, for businesses and loans. this kid can do," Bosley said.

The Presidential Partners at UCO held its annual awards luncheon April 13 to recognize students for leadership and academic achievement. The Julian and Irene Rothbaum Student Achievement Awards are sponsored by the Presidential Partners. Students from each of the five colleges at UCO received a certificate and a $500 award. Kevin Pargeter, a biology major, received the Julian and Irene Rothbaum gold medal award. The gold medal is endowed by Julian and Irene Rothbaum and is presented to the top academic achievement student at UCO each year. Pargeter also received an additional award of $1,000. The John and Eleanor Kirkpatrick Awards are also sponsored by the Presidential Partners. Eleven students were chosen for the leadership and public service award, and each student was presented with a certificate and a $500 award at the luncheon. The individual awards are endowed in the names of Oklahoma civic and political leaders. Brooke Wilson, an interpersonal communication major, recieved the John and Eleanor Kirkpatrick gold medal award in addition to receiving the Stephen Gragg Award.
Vehicle damage common, but not reported to police by Desiree' Treeby Student Writer Many students experience vehicle vandalism at some point while at UCO, although reports are usually never filed with officials. UCO Department of Public Safety did not have a number of reports and incidents that occur each semester. But officers said it does occur, and it can be a problem.
"Many of my friends have had their cars keyed because of jealous ex-girlfriends," said Eugene Cato, a UCO student. "I think resorting to property damage is completely unnecessary." Another student's vehicle was keyed April 26 at Henry Hudson's Pub. "Property damage is a current everyday issue, from car vandalism

OPINION April 29, 2004
Quote of the day I can't believe our baby is final graduating from college! The job market sucks, honey. He's probably going to sleep on the couch.
Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others. - Albert Camus

Letter to the editor
Cartoon by Eric Osbom
A bumpy road ahead? Maybe not after all. What a great time to graduate. When this graduating class entered college, there was no special significance attached to September 11. The only contention point between the United States and France was over who had the better food and wine. Afghanistan was a place where people made rugs and grew poppies. Martha Stewart had not ever considered great ways to spruce up solitary on a budget. When this class started college, Anthrax was just a band. The term WMDs had not entered the national vernacular.
And Saddam Hussein was little more than a South Park caricature (maybe that hasn't really changed). During the time these students were striving to finish their degree, the national debt has quietly crept up about 2 trillion dollars. Employment rates have plummeted and the stock market has taken more twists than a bronco at the Lazy E. That's okay, though, what does't kill you only makes you stronger, right? There is hope in sight, according to the labor department last week; unemployment claims peaked at 353,000 for this month.
One year ago, the high was 444,000. That means 91,000 unemployed people have gone back to work this year, or died. Graduation at UCO is up with 130 more people graduating than last year, representing a 7.8 percent increase. While it may be a little more difficult to obtain a job now than it was a few years ago, today's graduating class has hopefully learned resilience from all these insane national events. We at The Vista, wish all the graduating class of 2004 the best of luck and hope you're moderately successful in your life.
On behalf of the entire staff of the 2004 Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, I'd like to thank everyone from UCO--students, faculty, and staff--who ran in or volunteered with this year's event. Your participation was an important part of our success. At least 16 of the 168 who died in the Murrah Building bombing had ties to UCO. They, too, were students, faculty, staff or alumni. Among the hundreds who were injured and the thousands more whose lives were changed forever were more people with UCO connections. By participating in the marathon as a runner or volunteer, we honor the memory of those who died and support and encourage those who remain.
That's why "Runner's World" magazine recently named this run the "Most Memorable" marathon in the world. Next year's marathon will be held on Sunday, April 24th, 2005. The Marathon is a great opportunity for individuals and campus groups to show their support for the community and honor the fallen from UCO. I hope you'll join us next year to make some memories of your own and help the 2005 Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon live up to its motto: "A Run to Remember." Ross Lampert UCO Graduate Student Course Marshal Coordinator, Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon
Letter to the editor Reminder:
Letter to the editor Little remains to remind people of the land that is called Oklahoma. Many people have had their way with the state in the past. As more and more time passes, our state has grown to resemble every other metropolitan area. We are now faced with the decision that will bring about a complete erasure of what this city once was. The prairie dog, a rodent of the genus Cynomys, has survived the hardships of the environs for centuries. Developers want to take creatures with no voice and relocate them to a distant location, because it does not fit their business plan. Former president Andrew Jackson (18291837) once thought this way. This act was called the Trail of Tears and will forever be stigma to this nation and a chagrin to its citizens. Prairie dogs

With the proper marketing, the indigenous wildlife can be an asset to any medical conference held at Integris hospital, as well as future business at the proposed hotel/shopping center on Lake Overholser. The colleagued Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, pending approval of the tribal council, were quick to join with the P. Doggie preservation effort. Seeing the devastating similarities, other tribes will surely follow.
posed the question, "What are we fighting for?" After the Gulf War, the United Nations passed regulations from Iraq to prevent similar
kinds of Iraqi aggression in the future. After 9/11, the United States developed a `no tolerance' policy towards persons with military grade weapons and ties to terrorists. Saddam Hussein repeatedly violated the U.N. regulations and rejected U.N. inspectors. The war in Iraq was justified based on Hussein's violation of
U.N. regulations. The U.S. didn't leave immediately after removing Hussein because that would result in a leaderless anarchy. Our troops are temporarily stabilizing Iraq until elections can be held. Iraqi religious leaders wanted elections sooner, so the deadline was changed. So what are we fighting for? We're fighting to keep terrorists from using Hussein's military class long-ranged weapons to kill tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of U.S. citizens. Jason Sosnowski General Studies freshman

Hog Wild for Hunting
■
UCO professor follows family tradition of wild boar hunting ■ Dr. Kole Kleeman spends much of his spare time wild boar hunting in Oklahoma. by Chad Crow Copy Editor You could say UCO journalism professor Dr. Kole Kleeman leads a double life. When he isn't grading papers, lecturing or performing other scholarly tasks, Kleeman more often than not will be pursuing wild boar. Neatly attired in the uniform of the college professor, slacks and a button up shirt, some might never imagine that Kleeman's weekend wardrobe largely consists of camouflage. For Kleeman, hunting is a continuation of family tradition, which he does in memory of his uncle, Carl Sutton, who took Kleeman small game hunting for the first time when he was 8 years old. Having been a hunter since he was a little boy, Kleeman discovered wild boar tracking and hunting while teaching in Tennessee. " I hunted wild boar for the first time in the 'Smokey Mountains and the Big South Fork Natural Forest. It was really rough hunting terrain," he said. " Once, I came face to face with a bear while hunting in the Smokeys. It didn't bother me...it was just really scary." Hunting in Oklahoma is much easier than in Tennessee, Kleeman said, because the terrain is much more navigable here. Kleeman's trophy hog is a 278-lb. pure Russian wild boar he shot last October. He Photo by Gavin Elliott dropped it at 2,00 yards with a single shot. " It took five guys to load it in the truck," Dr. Kole Kleeman, UCO journalism professor, stands with the head of his trophy hog, a 278-lb. Russian boar. Kleeman killed the wild Kleeman said. What Kleeman said he enjoys most about boar last October. He started hunting when he was 8 years old. hunting wild hogs is the challenge.

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.

Thousands march on Washington for abortion rights â– UCO students react to the April 25 rally. by the Associated Press
and Vista Staff WASHINGTON — Energized by a turnout of hundreds of thousands on the National Mall, abortion-rights activists are looking to the November presidential elections to reverse what they see as the gradual chipping away of women's reproductive rights. From across the nation and from nearly 60 countries, women marched Sunday with their daughters, mothers, husbands and others in support of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that made abortion legal. That ruling, they say, is under attack by the Bush administration. So too, they worry is a broader scope of women's health issues, including equal access to birth control and sex education. The rally stretched from the base of the U.S. Capitol about a mile back to the Washington Monument. While authorities no longer give formal crowd estimates, various police sources informally gauged the throng at between 500,000 and 800,000 people. That would exceed the estimated 500,000 who converged on Washington for the last major abortion-rights rally in 1992. UCO marketing senior Steven Meyer said it depends on the circumstance. "If it saves the life of the mother, then it's necessary," Meyer said. Another UCO student,
Amara Lett, a theatre education senior, said her sister marched at the rally, She said she was proud of her sister and wished she could have gone. "Women should have the right to do what they want with their own bodies," she said. "It's their own choice, and they have to live with that choice." Kara Zawrotny, a vocal performance freshman, said she believes it's a person's decision. "Some people use it as birth control," she said. "I think that's sick." Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York urged marchers to vote in big numbers on Nov. 2 to evict an administration "filled with people who disparage sexual harassment laws, who claim the pay gap between women and men is phony ... who consider Roe v. Wade the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history: , From women's rights to the environment and other issues, feminist author Gloria Steinem accused the administration of squandering the outpouring of international good will after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. "This government is the greatest danger on earth," she declared. Organizers set up voter registration tables, and supporters of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry handed out stickers. Stirring anger and fear among abortion-rights supporters are two pieces of legislation President Bush has signed into law in the
past six months. The first is a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortion; the other is the first federal law to endow a fetus with legal rights distinct from the pregnant woman. After opening speeches near the Washington Monument, the crowd marched along Pennsylvania Avenue, and then looped back to the Mall near the Capitol. A much smaller number of anti-abortion activists lined several blocks along the march route. From behind steel barricades and under the watchful eye of police, they prayed and chanted "shame on you" as they waved giant posters showing a fetus at eight weeks. Another UCO student, Elizabeth Goett, a musical theatre junior, is anti-abortion, but she said her friend went to the march. "I don't agree with her, but it won't stop me from being her friend," Goett said. Goett said it shouldn't be done unless the mother is harmed or raped. Ashley Judd, Allison Janney, Susan Sarandon and other Hollywood celebrities shared the stage later with politicians, diplomats and leaders of the prochoice movement. Holding a white hanger, Whoopi Goldberg told the crowd: "Never again will this be the choice of any woman in our hemisphere." "There is a war going on," she said. "It's not the war we see on TV. It's a war on women."

- Some words to close the semester with... The following is a poem from an vintage Vista, titled "Central State in 1915," by James W. Huff.
The boys are strong debators, They always win the day; And when the Coach says, "Footbag" They're always there to play. The same is true of baseball, And basketball you know; And with this noble spirit Old Central's sure to grow.
There is a school in Edmond To each and every pupil That's noted far and near, . It is very dear. They call it Central Normah In Oklahoma state, `: And throughout all the nation, There's hardly one so great. ‘:Dame Fortune's hand has led us In this most prosperous year Because we marched to victory ..Without a thought of fear. 7 The championship at reading
T
In happy to relate, Is always won by Central• She leads the entire state.
We hear at every track meet, Soon as time is up, The happy cheers of Central For she has won the cup. This year; with loyal efforts, Responding to the call,
The faculty and students Budded Central Hall. The summer term is coming Tis welcome by us all. For in that happy season Comes our Stannley Hall. And there is Dr. Jordan, His name is David Starr, He'll make old Central famous By coming from afar. And there are many others, I haven't time to name, Who will be here to lecture And lead us on to fame. Evans Hal/i upon the campus, Soon will rise in state, For it we're truly thankful
To those who legislate. We'll always love this normal, The buildings old and new, The president and faculty So thoroughly tried and true. A beacon light is Central, With bronze and blue unfurled Because she leads all others Around the entire world.
VANDALISM, from page 1 to repots of houses being toilet papered," said Glynda Chu, Edmond Police Department spokesperson. "This morning we had a report of someone's car window being broken, and no reason was known." Many students said that
keying a vehicle is often an act of revenge. "My car has been keyed this year, but I do not know of any reasons why someone would have keyed my car," journalism major Cooper Ross said. "The person who keyed my car needs to be scared if I ever find them."

The Central men's basketball team added four recruits for the 2004-05 season and will add a former starter who sat out last season. Joining the Bronchos for upcoming season are freshmen Chase Sandburg and Jeff Stover, transfer Joe Kennerly, junior college transfer Jason Greene. B.J. Raney will rejoin the team after a year off. Greene, a 6-foot, 170-pound guard from South Grand Prairie, Texas played at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M last season. Greene will join former teammate Deshone Henderson in the Broncho backcourt after snatching 83 steals at NEO last season. "In my opinion, Jason's greatest attribute on the court is his speed and quickness. He utilizes his speed in transition extremely well, by getting the ball pushed up the floor and being able to blow by defenders to get to the basket. Jason's quickness comes in handy when he is playing defense. What he lacks in size, he more than makes up with his ability to cover. There are not many guards that are able to beat Jason to the basket," said NEO Assistant Coach Ron Arthur. "I believe Jason really matured as a player. He was a great person coming in to NEO but he is leaving here a proven leader. Last season as a walk-on, Jason came off the bench to provide a spark. This season, as a starter, Jason was forced to take a major leadership role.
