Four-day class schedule debuts IN University tries out 4-day week to cut costs and offer schedule flexibility

by Latasha Ellis-Cobb Staff Writer

A UCO executive committee implemented a new fourday schedule effective for 2005

Guardsman, former UCO student drowns at Tenkiller

The schedule will condense classes from the original schedule of Monday through Friday to Monday through Thursday.

Steven Kreidler, vice president of Finance and Administration, said the plan originated with a dual agenda.

He said the four-day week will give students schedule flexibility while allowing more availability for short classes that usually run on Fridays and

Saturdays.

"The four-day schedule will also free Fridays for administrative paperwork," Kreidler said.

Dr. William Radke, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, said the plan started when Dr. Don Betz, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, noted that other institutions were going to four-day summer schedules.

Radke said there will be a

slight savings on electricity costs because most buildings will close at noon on Fridays.

The lights will be turned off in these buildings and the air conditioners will be turned to higher temperatures.

"A few buildings will remain cool for various reasons," Radke said. These will include Howell Hall, which houses animals. He said many Saturday classes will be moved there.

"I think it is great that the administration is giving us the flexibility to try it out," said Dr. Donna Kearns, special education professor. "Gas prices are high right now and it will give students one less day of travel to the campus."

Kearns also said the new schedule allows professors the capability to give students more breaks throughout lectures.

Disabled athletes to compete in Edmond at Endeavor Games

by Ashley Romano Senior Staff Writer

Photo by Justin Avera

UCO Student Matt Nicolin, Music performance sophomore, gears up for the premier of "Star Wars": Episode Revenge of the Sith" in his C-3P0 attire.

The movie took in $50 million in it's first 24 hours, shattering the previous single day record of $44.8 million set by "Shrek 2."

Nearly 300 physically disabled athletes from 24 states and three countries will compete in the 6th Annual Endeavor Games June 9-12 at UCO and Edmond North High School.

"This is the largest multisport, multi-event for disabled athletes in the nation," said Katrina Shaklee, assistant director for UCO's Disabled Sports and Events.

The games are a result of The Sports Group a non-profit organization that provides sports programs to physically disabled athletes in Oklahoma, which Shaklee said she helped create in 2000. She said UCO absorbed the group in December 2004.

After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in August 1998, Shaklee said she saw

the potential for the Endeavor Games.

"It (the disease) enabled me to know more people with physical disabilities," she said.

Shaklee, who has been in remission since 1999, said it's important for athletes to participate in the games because "it's a chance for them to get out and compete, because they don't really have that many opportunities."

Conducted by UCO's Disabled Sports and Events, this year's Endeavor Games will feature events like archery, bocci, power lifting, shooting, table tennis, tennis, junior and adult 3-on-3-wheelchair basketball and wheelchair softball, all of which will be in or around the Wellness Center. The swimming competition will be in Hamilton Field House while track and field will be at Edmond North

High School.

Athletes ranging in age from six to 70 will participate in the games, Shaklee said.

Jason Vick, an occupational therapy sophomore, will be a first-time competitor this year.

He said the games will provide "morale" and "spirit" to athletes, especially if they've been laid up in the hospital for a while. "It will give them some exercise," he said.

Vick, who is paralyzed from the chest down, will compete in tennis.

Shaklee said this year the Endeavor Games has partnered with Disabled Sports USA and the Wounded Warrior Project to fly in 16 physically disabled U.S. soldiers who served in Iraq.

One of those soldiers, John Jones, an Edmond Memorial High School alumnus and an

injured Marine Corps staff sergeant, is also a first-time competitor. He said he's looking forward to being active and competing again.

"It should give good support for other amputees in the hospital so they can say, 'see, look, here's a guy who was hurt five months ago and he's doing something,"' said Jones, who will compete in archery and shooting.

Shaklee said a "Wounded Warrior" fund has been created with a fund-raising goal of $25,000 to go toward the soldier's housing, travel expenses, meals and passes to all of the events.

Holly Murphy, director of major gifts and grants for the UCO Foundation, said about $7,500 has been raised so far.

Also, Shaklee said an extra

OPINION

June 9, 2005

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR with former Vista Associate Editor Lauren Pulsinelli and off we went.

In person, Woodward fit the image we had seen of him on television; a stodgy, aging newspaperman and author from The Post. He took the stage as a confident, serious- minded speaker who joked with the audience that he was in Bush country.

Over the next hour or so, Woodward shared tales of his years at the Post and mused about time spent with the current President Bush while penning his latest book, "Plan of Attack," about the administrations' lead-up to the Iraq war.

met one of my heroes recently. No, it wasn't a rock star or movie actor but a journalist. And not just any journalist, but Bob Woodward from the Washington Post. Yes, the same Bob Woodward who, together with Carl Bernstein, wrote the Post's articles about Watergate that helped bring down a president and earned them and the paper a Pulitzer Prize.

Woodward spoke in Tulsa in April at a bankers convention, which was little more than wealthy white men handing each other awards. What Woodward was doing there, as the keynote speaker, is anyone's guess. But I snagged an invitation along

/

of secrecy himself just a month later.

After the captivating and inspiring speech, Woodward answered a few questions, one from a man who simply wanted to brag that he had rounded up some illegal immigrants with his hunting buddies, much to Woodward's chagrin. However, the veteran journalist kept his cool while the man went on and on, then he addressed immigration briefly and thanked the crowd.

After the meeting, Woodward headed for the exit as a few people came up to shake hands.

Woodward didn't stop walking; he had a plane to catch.

Kelley Chambers - Editor in Chief

However, Woodward gave no hint as to the identity of the famous Deep Throat, his anonymous source who was a key player in helping with the Post's Watergate articles. I'm quite sure he had no idea that Deep Throat, a.k.a. W. Mark Felt, would remove the cloak

I knew it was a 'now or never' situation so I jogged up next to Woodward, looked him in the eye and reverently said, "maestro." Woodward turned and I introduced myself and we shook hands. He Muttered something about it being nice to meet me then said, "where's the elevator?" and then he was gone.

Woodward is a man who has inspired a whole generation of journalists and made us proud to be in the news business.

I hope that at some point, in your college career or beyond, that each of you get to meet a hero one day. Not a matinee idol, but a person whose work

has inspired you personally or professionally.

Woodward won't remember me, but I will remember our brief encounter and know that I too should aspire for greatness.

Not to win prizes or acclaim, but instead to be a better person and a better journalist. And maybe someday I too can inspire just one person to enter journalism for esteem of the written word, investigation, telling the story of the news and above all a love of newspapers.

most of them; but I am registered Independent and hope that one day we may have more than two (some would say one) ballot choice.

While labels help us simplify our complex world, they also obscure reality. In fact, rather than strictly socialist, UCODS is a diverse group: socialists, democrats, greens, independents, etc. Though we all come to the group with similar concerns, we probably disagree on solutions. But we are united against (sexism, heterosexism, racism, 'corporatism, militarism, environmental destruction, etc., and united in the celebration of diversity and the promotion of human and global benefit over rapacious business practices

and regressive ideologies.

I primarily identify as feminist with socialist leanings. I apply feminist theory to all forms of oppression because I see racism, sexism, etc. as interrelated, and requiring similar solutions.

I lean socialist because I believe laissez-faire corporate capitalism allows extreme inequality through monopolies of wealth and power, provides no social safety net for those it disenfranchises, and fails to protect the environment and society.

Pushed by liberal, progressive, and radical feminist, socialist, and civil rights activists, the U.S. has progressed in human rights and social justice, far beyond many other nations.

But we have miles still to go.

We have not achieved equality of opportunity for groups traditionally denied access to education, etc. Inequality of wealth has been increasing recently.

Corporate welfare is .vast and nonpartisan.

Manufacturers dump tons of toxins in our air and water. Most of our clothes were made in overseas sweatshops (so called _ free-trade zones).

Because I see these things, because I believe I have a moral duty (based on the Golden Rule) to promote positive changes, and because other people will oppose every step of progress, I will probably be an activist as long as my gears turn.

n case anyone on campus doesn't already know, UCO has gone to a four-day schedule this summer. In the midst of the first week of school, people seem positive and upbeat about only having to show up for class Monday through Thursday.

The Public Relations Student Society of America functions as a gateway into the PRSA, to which many professionals in the

public relations field belong.

Fite said the awards ceremony gives students in the PRSSA the opportunity to form acquaintances with public relations professionals, which is beneficial when looking for future career opportunities.

Broncho spring wrap-up

The official 2004■2005 school year is

over. Sports at the University of Central Oklahoma has been full of raging routs, romps and rousing rallies.

MEN'S GOLF UCO men's golf stayed among the leaders in all categories.

Coach Dax Johnson earned Coach of the Year honors in the LSC and the Division II South Central Regional.

Johnston was named NCAA Division II South Central Region Coach of the Year.

Johnston has earned the award three times in his fouryears as head coach at UCO. Johnston has led the Bronchos to six tournament titles in the 2004-2005 season, including the South Central

Regional Crown.

The men's golf team bustled to their third national tournament appearance in four years.

UCO captured the NCAA Division II South Central Men's Golf Regional in Savannah Ga. As Todd. Dayton earned a third place finish and UCO followed with a 13th place team finish.

Three players earned recognition on the All-South Central Regional team: junior Dayton, sophomores Matt Ellis and Chris Hutson were also selected for the 10-player squad.

Dayton had the second-lowest Division II national finish in school history behind coach Johnston's tournament winning 1996 season.

Dayton also earned first-team All America honors. Dayton, only a junior, won four tournaments this season and finished in the top 10 of 10 events.

Three UCO golfers were named to the NCAA Division II All-American team and Dayton once again shined as a first team pick.

ONE GUY'S OPINION

Matt Cauthron - Sports Writer & Columnist

T

he vote for the 2005 NBA Most, Valuable Player Award ultimately came down to two players. Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash edged out Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal by just 34 points, and controversy arose over whether the right guy got the hardware.

The truth is, the right guy didn't win the award, but it's not O'Neal who deserved the trophy. Although Shag has been robbed before, Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson is the one whose mantel is unjustly under-crowded this time.

The reason for this is not value; it's perception.

The Suns, despite their immense talent, bumbled to a lowly 29-53 record last year without a solid point guard.

After signing Nash in the offseason, they made a 33 game improvement and finished atop the Western Conference.

It's a great story, but misleading with regard to Nash's value.

The Suns didn't necessarily need Nash, they needed any true point guard.

Last year, the Suns struggled to find offensive rhythm under the leadership of Stephon Marbury, the prototype of the new-age "me first" scoring point guard. With such formidable scoring threats in Amare Stoudemire and Shawn Marion, all the Suns needed was an unselfish point guard who could slash through defenses and dish them the ball. They needed

were named honorable mention All-Americans.

Dayton was also named LSC player of the year with a 71.9 average.

Ellis had a 73.8 average for the year and four tournament finishes in the top 10.

Hutson has a 74.1 average for the year, winning first place in one tourney, while having four other top 10 rankings.

WOMEN'S GOLF UCO women's golf earned their second LSC title in addition to Emily Kirk winning the LSC Individual title.

Ashley Kelley won the regional Individual title going on to take 10th in the NCAA Division II Women's Golf Championship.

Kelley was UCO's first-evernational tournament qualifier.

The National Golf Association selected UCO head Coach Patty Coatney as the NCAA Division II West Regional Co-Coach of the Year.

Coatney, who took the reins Delta State."

Leading the way for the Brouchos this season was senior first baseman Beau Sullivan, who capped off a long list of individual awards by being named to the first team of the Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association All-America Team. Sullivan is the first Broncho to receive that honor since 2001.

someone who would reward the big guys on fast breaks, but who could also score when needed.

It's true, point guards with those abilities seem to be a dying breed, but they do exist. A much rarer kind of point guard is one whose scoring ability can carry a team for quarters at a time, but who can still elevate the play of marginally talented teammates. In fact, Allen Iverson may be the only one.

This brings us back to the question of perception. Nash was the popular pick for MVP because one could quite easily see that the Suns were much worse off without him. But I'm sure we could all agree that the Sixers would be much worse off without Iverson, right?

That's why the perception of value shouldn't be a question of whose absence would cause his team the greatest suffering.

The question should be this: which player would be easiest to replace? After all, that is the nature of value, is it not? I mean, if Steve Nash disappeared into thin air, the Suns could find another serviceable point guard.

Just ask the Dallas Mavericks.

They lost Nash to the Suns in the off-season, replaced him with Jason Terry, and won six more games this season than last.

On the other hand, if Iverson disappeared, the Sixers wouldn't have the option of reassigning his role to another player. There are simply no other players who can do what he does.

This season, Iverson averaged 30.7 points and 7.9 assists per game. If you count an assist as a basket, he accounted for about 46 points a game for the Sixers, who averaged 99 points

per game as a team. That's nearly half the offensive production coming from one man.

And that's no fluke. The Sixers organization has been quite content to ride on Iverson's back. They surround him with the likes of Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodala because they know that Iverson alone can sell out the arena and keep the team in playoff contention. Halfway through this season, they threw him a bone by signing a hobbled shell of the formerly great Chris Webber, but it was too little too late.

Unfortunately, what the voters fail to consider is that this kind of thing shouldn't work.

One player shouldn't be enough to drag a sorry team into the playoffs. Kobe Bryant couldn't do it this season with the Shagless Lakers. Tracy McGrady could never do it in Orlando.

There's only one player in the league who can do it, and do it so consistently.

And that, ladies and gentlemen of the voting panel, makes Iverson special. And the MVP should go to a special player, a player who is totally irreplaceable. It always has. In my lifetime (which began in 1980), only four guards have won the NBA MVP: Magic Johnson (1986-87, 88-89, 89-90), Michael Jordan (1987-88, 9091, 91-92, 95-96, 97-98), Allen Iverson (2000-2001), and Steve Nash (2004-2005).

Sure, Nash had a great season, but if the above list were an SAT question along the lines of "Which one doesn't fit?" the answer would be Steve Nash.

On a list of the great guards, Nash just doesn't fit. I for one think the honor of MVP should

• UCO softball team makes history

by Matt Cauthron Sports Writer The UCO softball team made history this season, winning a school-record 41 games and capturing their first-ever Lone Star Conference North Division title.

The Lady Bronchos also won the LSC postseason tournament and earned their second appearance in the NCAA Division II National Tournament.

But despite the record-setting year, the Bronchos' season ended in disappointment.

Entering the NCAA Division II tournament ranked no. 13 in the nation, the Bronchos fell 5-0 to no. 16 Angelo State University in the first round of the South Central Regional.

UCO finished the season at 41-14, a 20 game improvement from last season.

Next season the Bronchos will look to replace three departing seniors from the record-setting 2005 squad: Catcher Tommie Mitts, pitcher Jamie Scheidt, and first baseman Lauren Moore.
