FlaTire Burgers located at Ayers and University will open July 2.
UCO design students 'pump up' Edmond eatery by Trisha Evans Staff Writer
The public will see the work of two sets of UCO design students when a new Edmond restaurant opens on University and Ayers on July 2. Students working for Charles Evans Studio designed the interior of the restaurant while two students in UCO's ClockTower Studio did the graphic design work. Michael Jones, the owner of FlaTire Burgers, heard about ClockTower Studio from a former manager who worked for him. Jones, who also owns Lottinvilles Woodgrill with his wife Lori, said he
contacted ClockTower to help him design a restaurant that would cater to college students. Jenkin Hammond and Jeff Mains designed everything from the menus, which offer burgers and beer, to letterhead and business cards. Jones said he gave the students 9095 percent leeway. He only needed the restaurant to be functional from an operations standpoint. The students picked the lighting, paint, tables, chairs and other inside and outside decor. Hammond, a spring 2005 graphic design graduate, and Mains, a graphic design senior, worked for ClockTower Studio under the direction of Dr. James Watson.
Hammond described the restaurant as "a vintage tire repair shop with a modern edge to it." He said there wouldn't be used tires or license plates hanging on the walls but, they hired a biker to bum some rubber on the cement floor to give the restaurant a garage feel. Hammond and Mains both said the design of Chipotle Grill, a chain of burrito restaurants, was a major influence on them. "We liked the interior textures, the contemporary industrial feel of sheet metal and cement," Mains said. Traditionally the design agency works for non-profit organizations where the budget isn't as large.
FlaTire Burgers is the first for-profit client they have had. Hammond said he was familiar with designing logos and menus from his graphic design classes. "There were some new challenges," Hammond said. "But by the time you are in ClockTower, you are flexing the muscles that you should already have." Jones said he was very pleased with the professionalism and followthrough that they put into the job. "You have to think on your feet, right here right now, they are making financial decisions and they count,"

THE TOSS-UP
Commentators: Conservative, liberal or otherwise. Do we need them? Why or why not? This week Jonathan Nazari, political science junior and president of the UCO Iranian Student Association weighs in on last week's. topic. If you were to go home right now and turn on your television, chances are that you would come across some sort of newscast. News has grown so prevalent in today's society that entire networks are dedicated to broadcasting it non-stop, and this is not always good. Simply put, news companies are out to make money, and they do so by selling ad time. The product companies that buy that ad time are targeting a certain audience, (i.e. conservative,
liberal, young, etc.) and this means that the networks must try to cater to one side or the' other so that product companies will continue to buy ad space. This vicious cycle continues without end with both the prod- Jonathan Nazari uct companies and the news corporations making money. As long as this occurs, we will always have biased newscasts. I turn to public broadcasting and international sources that have a track record of being fair and unbiased for
my news. When you invest your time in watching public television, you do not have to worry about the news corporations catering to one side or the other because public television is sponsored publicly, not privately. A few good public news sources that I monitor are OETA (Channel 13) and National Public Radio. (KROU-FM 105.7) Both of these are excellent news sources that provide in-depth and unbiased news coverage. In the end, the choice you make as to what news source you use is strictly up to you. Make the smart decision and choose public broadcasting. The Toss-up can be reached at editorial@thevistaonline.com .

The Oklahoma City County Health Department (http:// Collins www.health.state. ok.us/program/ imm/) provides excellent overall service for personalized instruction from conscientious nurses who serve to explain the latest governmental positions on the health status of foreign nations, as well as general travel advisories for specific cities and rural towns alike.

Getting immunized in time for the vaccine to become effective or to finish a series that must be given over time, usually a month or six weeks apart, may become an issue if you are planning to visit a rural area, but individual requirements depend on the specific circumstances. At an average of $60 or more per dose, your travel budget may also require some adjustment. Many immunizations are rare, such as cholera, and remain unavailable within the U.S., despite prevalent issues in developing countries that often require tourists to submit to the injection upon arrival to assure re-entry into one's native country.
Take advantage of those currently offered and heed professional advice against other illnesses with a proactive stance on hygiene. The prospect of an exotic vacation or returning home to a foreign country sustains many students during the school year. International travel can be one of the singularly most enlightening experiences of a lifetime if you're healthy enough to see and do it all. The inside of a foreign hospital isn't anyone's idea of a tourist attraction, although medical care in other countries can prove satisfactory for minor injuries and ailments. Enjoy your stay by planning ahead, and avoid anything that might keep you from coming back next year.

Debate coach Duke not calling it quits just yet by Courtney Bryce Staff Writer
Debate coach Doug Duke, was honored by 65 alumni debaters June 11 at the UCO Debate Reunion. Students from as early as the 1960's made their way to Ballroom A in the Nigh University Center to reminisce with Duke, 65, one last time before his retirement in Spring 2006. "These debaters are more like family. They still call me 'Daddy Duke," Duke said. "I keep up with the debaters. It's very personal." The alumni circulated the room laughing, joking and looking at old debate trophies, which were being silently auctioned off. One group of debaters from the early 1990's said their fondest memories were taking road trips with Duke and tossing playing cards out the van windows when he wasn't looking. "You are very important to me. You are very important to UCO," Duke said to alumni. "We are too important to each other to lose our relationship." Dr. Pamela Washington, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, asked alumni to help launch a future campaign for upcoming debate students as a tribute to Duke. "He's a valuable friend and I often looked to him for advice," Washington said. Duke had originally planned to retire Photo by Naomi Takebuchi in spring 2005, but the Oklahoma State Board of Regents decided to make fundamentals of speech an undergraduate Doug Duke, assistant professor of communication, seen here teaching a summer 2005 class, has been requirement in the fall of that year. teaching students speech and debate for more than three decades. Duke plans to retire next year. Duke will stay for one more year as director of fundamentals of speech to make adjustments to the course so it can accommodate a larger enrollment. Duke said when he does retire, the thing he will miss most is the relationships he formed
with his students. "I love to teach. I love walking into the classroom. I love teaching kids," Duke said. UCO's debate team had many successes under Duke's leadership. In 1990 the team won the National Debate Tournament against schools like Harvard and UCLA. "Any coach's goal in a competitive career is to win the National Debate Tournament," Duke said. One important debate student in Duke's life is his son Drew Duke. Drew was on the debate team in 1989 when they finished 3rd in the National Tournament in South Carolina. Drew said he enjoyed doing debate with his dad. "We just had to learn when the relationship was student and instructor, son and dad, or both," Drew said. Before the reunion, Duke won the Fred Tewell Outstanding College Communication Educator Award from the Oklahoma Speech Theatre Communication Association. He was also given a special award from the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association for his 37 years of teaching at UCO. Duke was a member of the 1994 National Cross Examination Debate Association and two-year president of the Oklahoma Speech Association. After retirement, Duke said he plans to volunteer his time at a nursery or animal shelter. He said he has too much love to give to waste it on material objects. "My goal is for you to continue to push for your goals," Duke said to past and future students. "Don't let people stop you. Don't let difficult tasks stop you."

Library archive holds Edmond, UCO history by Nathan Winfrey Staff Writer
The University Archives and Special Collections office, housed on the second floor of the Max Chambers Library in Rm. 215, contains records and artifacts spanning from the first years after UCO was founded to the present. "We serve as the institutional memory," said Nicole Willard, director of the archives, which was founded in 1981. She said their materials include files on UCO presidents and vice presidents, an extensive photograph collection, issues of the Vista from its start in 1903 to the present and Bronze Books dating back to 1908. "We don't have things Charles Evans Studio was formed in 2002 from the very first few years," to expose interior design students to the same real-world environment. "Having designed a restaurant right out of college is unheard of. It was a fantastic opportunity," Hammond said. "It was one of the best classes I took." Hammond said ClockTower kept him busy during the spring semester. ClockTower worked on three other graphic design projects for Acousticadia, The College of Arts, Media & Design's dance festival and Character Council, a non-profit organization.
Willard said, though she said they do have Edmond newspapers from that period. "The oldest thing we have is a bulletin from 1896." Willard said the archives contain the most extensive collection of Oklahoma Townsite Case files from the Land Run in 1889, and contains manuscript collections of family histories and various book collections including the Dale McConathy Collection, which originally contained 6,000 books. UCO was able to obtain 3,500, which students can read but not check out because, "some of them are very rare and very expensive," Willard said. The archive website, library.ucok.edu/archives, contains over 600 photographs available for sale and information about the his-
tory of the university. "In August, it will be a year since we've launched the website," Willard said. "We've gotten orders from all over the country for our images." In addition to the pictures, Willard said the website includes biographies of past UCO presidents, a record of UCO's six name changes, a timeline featuring 100 interesting facts about the university and information about the history of the buildings. Archive clerk Sheila McPherson, senior forensic science major, said the archives are important because "You have to know where you come from. It shows where we started from."

Community College, finished second at nationals at 125 pounds. Heath Jolley of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, a former Broncho football player, will sport a wrestling singlet instead of a jersey this fall, adding to his high school record as a two-time state champion at Skiatook high school. UCO's eight high school recruits are: Jeremy Bagby of Midwest City, Ryan Mattox of Glenpool, Kenny Meredith of Murfreesboro, Term., Daniel Morrison of Ponca City, local standout Colby Robinson of Edmond North, Cody Rowell of Duncan, B.J. Shaw of Kellyville and Zach Sikes of Perry. "I'm excited about this class. They could be the best team since ten years ago. They all will be an attributing factor to getting us back to UCO standards," James said. "It's refreshing to see a class that has such a crew that will shake up the group, these are the type of freshmen where we can have two or three of them in the starting line up. I wouldn't count any one of them out. We have to have guys that get competitive," James said. Bagby is projected to compete in the 133-141 weight class for the Bronchos and was a three-time Class 5A placer for the Bombers in Midwest City. Bagby received a thirdplace state finish his sophomore year and won the state title at 130 pounds as a junior following a runner-up conclusion . in the 2004-2005 state tournament. Two-time finalist Mattox, a Glenpool graduate, finished second as a sophomore and captured the state title at 189 pounds in 2005. 189-pound Meredith was
the only out-of-state high school recruit. He had a streaking 2005 season at 430 and was named Wrestler of the Year by The Tennessean. A proj ected 165-74 pounder at UCO, Morrison is a two-time finalist at Ponca City. He wrestled at 171 pounds in Class 5A, earning a runner-up finish his junior year. Morrison took the title outright as a senior. Robinson was a two-time state finalist for Edmond North High School and will compete at 141-49 pounds for the Bronchos. Robinson took third as a junior and won the Class 5A state title last year, earning All-State Honors. James said, "Colby has a chance to be in there real quick, he has passion to be in the mix." Former Demon from Duncan Rowell is a projected 157-165 pounder for the Bronchos. Rowell was a three-time consecutive class 4A state champion. He wrestled at 152 pounds his sophomore and junior year, earning the title both years and in 2005 stepped up to 160 and took the title again. Rowell was the Class 4A Outstanding Wrestler as a Junior and an All-State selection in 2005.. With a record of 108-24, Shaw earned All-State recognition in 2005 and won the state title at 125 pounds for Kellyville. Sikes, the small-town Perry high school graduate, was 84-3 in the last two years and won back-to-back state titles with a perfect record of 43-0. The 160-pound freshman was also selected as an All-State pick.

Classical trio helps raise funds for KCSC/KBCW at Jazz Lab benefit by Latasha Ellis-Cobb Staff Writer
KCSC 90.1 FM held a benefit concert June 23 at the UCO Jazz Lab featuring Viva Trio. Development Director Susan Clark said they were able to book Viva Trio because Barbara Hendrickson, membership director, had previously met the group at a public radio conference in Savannah, Georgia. Viva Trio, a classical music group, consists of guitarist Tony Morris, host of Classical Guitar Alive!, flutist Renata Green and violinist Jennifer Bourianoff. "The goal of the fundraiser was to raise money for the KCSC Foundation while bringing our listeners great live music," Clark said. Clark said she organizes fundraising events about twice a year. Junior Bahara Golesorkhi said, "I came to the concert because I had to for a class. This is my first time at a classical concert and it definitely won't be my last." Bradford Ferguson, general manager, said most
LIBERTY FEST from page 1 ings. The public is welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets. The fireworks show will begin at 10 p.m., following ParkFest. Jeff Harp, director of the UCO Department of Public Safety, said beginning around 12:30 p.m. the parking lots surrounding the Liberal Arts and Business Buildings will be closed until the firework show is finished. All other campus lots are free and open to the public. Harp said a 1,000-foot diameter circle encompassing the two buildings will be marked off with yellow police line and barricades. "Nobody will be allowed inside," Harp said. He said the UCO DPS and the Edmond Police Department will patrol the area. Also, the Edmond Amateur Radio Society will provide "civilian" patrol around the marked area. Harp said the Fire Department requires that a 500-foot zone be marked off for spectators' protection due to the type of explosives used.
funds the station receives by fundraisers and from government grants are governed by the rules and regulations of the university. "The KCSC Foundation is made up primarily of money that was designated by deceased donors," Ferguson said. He said the purpose of the foundation is to build an endowment and use the interest to pay operating costs. Ferguson said this will allow more flexibility in spending money on special projects such as the Viva Trio concert. Clark said no money was spent on advertising, but they were able to advertise in the Photo by Justin Avera `Gazette' and 'Edmond Life & Leisure'.

CAR SHOW Classic and novelty cars abounded in the UCO parking lot near Seco0 Street June 25 at the 5th annual LibertyFest Car Show. Every car from a 1931 Ford Model Coupe A to a 1976 Dodge Aspen covered in about 1,500 Pez dispensers was featured. Bob Meinders, 5.-year chairman of the car show, said about 80 cars registered this year. "It's about the same as last year," Meinders said. It grows every year a little bit." He said the turnout depends on other car show competition. "(There were about) five shows competing in the metro area (this year), so it's
pretty good," Meinders said. Nick Gray, business communication junior, said he has attended the car show for a couple of years in support of his father's '28 Ford Roadster. Even though Gray said he liked some of the tricked-out cars, he admitted he is "more of an older car kind of guy." Although Nick said his father, Jerry, has competed in the car show for several years, this year was the first time he took home a trophy for his Roadster.
PAGEANT
Arrow, her hometown, where she received the fourth runner-up position and "Miss Congeniality." Blankenship, who said she's been dancing for 17 years and who's been a UCO Kaleidoscope dancer, performed to "Feels Like Home" during the talent portion of Miss Edmond LibertyFest. The contestants competed in casual and evening wear, interview, on-stage question and physical fitness. The pageant served as a preliminary competition for the 2006 Miss Oklahoma Scholarship Pageant. Diane Emmons, pageant chair, said she wanted a pageant to be represented in Edmond and thought LibertyFest was the perfect time to feature one. "We're hoping to (make the pageant a tradition)," Emmons said. Incoming UCO students who placed second and fourth runner-up were Tiffany Tolbert and Natasha Alikhani. Other UCO contestants included Natalie Fisher, Bridget Jamie, Kelly Johnston and Jaclyn Strahorn.
Sixteen contestants vied for the first title of Miss Edmond LibertyFest June 25 in Mitchell Hall. Although no UCO contestant took home the crown, one was awarded the title of first runner-up. "I was shocked, to be honest," Cara Blankenship said. "I'm excited." Blankenship, a speech language pathology junior, received a $500 cash scholarship and chose a $1,200 UCO tuition waiver.

Theater professors play many roles by Courtney Bryce Staff Writer
Hal Kohlman and Sue Ellen Reiman, part time theater instructors, chose not to let their students do all the acting when they joined Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park. Artistic Director Kathryn McGill said she met Reiman when they were students at oU, where Reiman earned a BFA and MA in theatre. Reiman became an actress for OSP in 1986, one year after McGill created it. Two years later, she was hired as
the managing director. "She does all the unpleasant work," McGill said. Along with her role at OSP, Reiman teaches acting and improvisation at UCO. She said she has taught here for about ten years. "We are trying to teach that Shakespeare is fun and entertaining," Reiman said. "He would be appalled if he knew people had to study it." Reiman is also the cofounder of an improvisation company, Everybody and Their Dog. She said she recently took
eight UCO students from the company to Chicago, the home of improvisation, to attend workshops and shows. This summer Reiman can be seen performing in OSP productions of The Merry Wives of Windsor and Romeo and Juliet. Reiman played the role of Mistress Quickly in Merry Wives under the direction of Brenda Williams. "She is one of my favorite actresses because you give her the slightest hint of what you want and she runs with it," Williams said.
"I got to be mean and physical," Reiman said. "It was a good time." Reiman will also be touring for Oklahoma Children's Theatre in a 'Library Near You' in June and playing with Everybody and Their Dog in July. Kohlman joined Reiman as an OSP performer about eight years ago after he auditioned for the company. Kohlman said he continues to play for OSP as a form of community service. "It enriches the community," Kohlman said. "It gives me a good feeling."
Kohlman has taught acting and script analysis at UCO for about seven years. Theater student and OSP performer Susan Riley said Kohlman was the reason she began acting for the company. "He directed a show that I was in at OCU and told me I should try out," Riley said. This summer Kohlman can be seen in OSP productions of The Merry Wives of Windsor, Love's Labour Lost, and Romeo and Juliet. Williams said Kohlman is a classic actor. "I was a little nervous
to work with him because he really knows his stuff," Williams said. Reiman and Kohlman can often be seen at OSP playing opposite roles. They were love interests in Twelfth Night and were married in Winter's Tale. "Both have the equipment to act in a realistic manner in outdoor theater," McGill said.
