Democratic candidates Brad Carson and Carroll Fisher faced off July 18, and the Republican candidates Bob Anthony, Kirk Humphreys and Tom Coburn debated July 20.

The debates were hosted by KFOR-TV, news channel 4. Coanchors Linda Cavanaugh and Kevin Ogle hosted both portions of the public debate.

Candidates outlined their platforms and answered questions from audience members.

To kick off the Democratic debate, Carson and Fisher were given a minute each to answer the same questions. At first both seemed to agree with one another.

Both said they will fight to keep Oklahoma military bases open.

Both said they believe in strong support for the U.S. military and its funding, and both said that they will work to improve our school system.

Humphreys responded to an audience question about the conflicts between Israel and Palestine.

"I think Israel is our best friend in the Middle East. I think the U.S. needs to support Israel, and I think it's appropriate to donate foreign aid dollars to friends like Israel," Humphreys said.

Humphreys also responded to a question about Medicaid and Medicare. He suggested moving toward free market solutions. He said he thinks citizens should move awayfrom the federal health care system.

Office warns students of financial aid scam ■ UCO official says she knows of no UCO students targeted Vista Staff Report The Office of Financial Aid issued a warning last week to students about a scam targeting them and their bank accounts.

Students nationwide have received telephone calls by a person claiming to be a representative of the U.S. Department of Education. The imposter offers grants to replace student loans and asks students for their bank account information so that a processing fee can be charged to them.

The office instructs students to contact Sheila Fugett, director of student financial aid at UCO, at 974-2300 if they have received such calls.

Becky Garrett, assistant director of technology services at Financial Aid, said she is not aware of any UCO students being targeted by the scam.

"No one has gotten through to me," she said.

Representatives from the financial aid office remind students that they should never give out their bank account or credit card information over the phone, unless they initiate the call.

The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators issued an elec-

tronic announcement July 14 about the scam.

The announcement states that students who have been targeted should take the following steps: 1. Immediately contact his or her bank, explain the situation and request that the bank monitor or close the compromised account.

2. Report the fraud to ED's Office of Inspector General hotline at 1-800-647-8733 or oig.hotline@ed.gov.

3. Report the fraud to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC has an online complaint form at www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscams and a hotline at 1-877-382-4357.

4. Notify the police about the incident.

The announcement also states that students should also provide detailed information about the incident when filing a complaint The electronic announcement also states that impersonating a federal is a crime, as is identity theft.

For information about identity theft prevention, students should visit www.ed.gov/misused. For information about financial aid scam prevention, visit www.studentaid.ed.gov/lsa.

State sees $10.2M increase in aid

by Caroline Duke Editor in Chief

The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education recently announced a $10.2 million increase in student assistance programs across the state for the fiscal year 2005.

Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of UCO University Relations, said UCO will receive a proportionate amount of the increase.

"I'm fairly confident that the increases of

the Regents were calculated to cover increased costs, and ours will be proportionate to that," Wiseman said.

He said a formula is involved in determing the amount of financial aid allotted, and it is designed to cover the increased costs for UCO students.

"There's a formula involved, and we're getting a proportional amount of those

OPINION

July 22, 2004

Check out this funk soul brother MOVIE REVIEW

by Eric Osborn

Director: Jared Hess Starring: Jon Heder, Jon

Gries Independent films rarely have a place in summer cineplexes. But after watching "Napoleon Dynamite," you'll come to realize it couldn't have come at a better time.

Like "The Big Lebowski" before it, "Napoleon Dynamite" is a lesson in anti-storytelling.

The events just sort of happen, without you really noticing.

This is mostly because Napoleon himself is such a compelling figure that you'd be foolish to take your eyes off of him. What we are left with is one of the funniest, strangest and most entertaining character studies I have ever seen. It's a stellar first step for a bunch of Mormon filmmakers who refuse to play Hollywood's game.

That's right, Mormons. No cursing, no nudity and definitely no rock and roll. There isn't a bit of it in this film either, but it still manages to be the funniest movie of the summer.

Napoleon (Jon Heder) is a kid in high school forever damned to be an outsider.

Equipped with a red Afro, tucked-in thrift store shirt, handed-down jeans, and wornout snow boots, he really doesn't have a chance. It also doesn't help that this good-natured kid is somewhat socially stunted; telling tall tales about hunting wolverines in Alaska while stuffing tater-tots into your pockets aren't good ways to climb the social ladder. But to the audiences, these odd characterizations come across as both humorous and endearing.

Eventually Napoleon finds a friend in Pedro (Efren Ramirez), a Hispanic kid with more nerve than Napoleon (but just as odd). They both meet a "babe" (Tina Majorino) whom /4apoleon falls for or at least

seems interested in.

Things seem to be on the up for Napoleon, but things get worse when his uncle moves into his house. His uncle, needless to say, is just another weirdo in a family of weirdos. His conversations never stray from football, Tupperware or bust enhancers. Uncle Rico (Jon Gries) inadvertently sabotages Napoleon's love life, as he saves up money to buy a time machine.

When Pedro decides to run for class president, things get even more difficult for Napoleon. How is Napoleon going to help Pedro win if he runs against the most popular girl in school? How is he going to feed his pet llama if his Uncle keeps on eating all of the steak?

Can his brother's girlfriend help in his dancing exploits? Will his delicious bass really be that delicious?

Of course, this film sounds truly preposterous. It is. But everything is delivered with sincerity and without irony, allowing you to forget you are watching a movie and completely buy into Napoleon's world. The film is highly reminiscent of Wes Anderson's "Rushmore," without the drama and more jokes.

The acting ensemble believes in their characters, never allowing you to separate them from their dialogue.

But don't be mistaken — Napoleon is the star of the show. Actor Jon Heder chews up the screen with his quips and memorable one-liners so well that you'll be quoting him for weeks. While things do begin to drag at the end of the first act, it all picks up nicely, leaving you with one of the greatest dance breaks ever put to celluloid.

Go see this film, there is even a free viewing July 22 at Cinemark Tinseltown in Oklahoma City. Go to the _ Napoleon Dynamite Web site to RSVP. Sweet.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Give yourself a break T minus 32 days until it starts all over again — the insanity of another school year. Prepare to welcome the year known as 2004-2005 and say farewell to another long year that passed too quickly.

While a great many college students spent their summer on the lake or inebriated — or on the lake and inebriated — a more impressive number sacrificed their summer for academia.

And, of course, the summer semester has not yet wrapped up. And students are surely studying doubly hard for next week's final exams.

There is no trick to cramming eight weeks — or, in some cases, four weeks — of lectures and reading into one two-hour exam period.

Possibly the best way to overcome the end-of-summer finals anxiety is to look to a new semester. Remember that if a summer semester can be survived, a student can survive just about anything in his undergraduate collegiate career.

Regular semester finals? A piece of cake. University physical science? Definitely. The financial aid office? Hopefully, but the chances aren't that high.

Some students are simply (this word is used lightly) finishing up that last general education requirement before they can receive their degrees. When July 30 ends, they will add to the long list of UCO alumni. And to them, The Vista wishes them luck.

Others are catching up where they have fallen behind, tak-

ing that stubborn college algebra again or picking up the slack they allowed themselves in the past.

Regardless of the reason, summer school is a sacrifice, although being at school all day does give good reason to turn up the thermostat at home and milk the school's energy resources. Surely students already pay some kind of air conditioning fee.

So, 32 days left ... 22 after finals.

What will you do with it? Remember you have to buy books, so leave some room open for that.

And don't forget to leave four or five whole days to deal with the financial aid office. You may even consider leaving a few extra back-up days for that. And don't let your guard down — just when you do, you'll realize it's far from over.

Above all, don't forget to let loose and have fun during the time that that leaves.

Come the first or second week of August, the newness of the break will have long worn off, and the time will have arrived to start packing that worn-out backpack. Sharpen those pencils and label those spiral-bounds. You might even make a checklist. You'll probably even arrive 30 minutes early to all of your classes on the very first day.

But when the first of September rolls around, the free days in August will only be a pipedream, so make the most the time you have now.

HEART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

The burning question of the century: Ninj as or samurais... he struggle of the samurai vs. the ninja. Noble vs. mysterious.

Forget good and evil...this one's for real.

The philosophical battle between these two martial figures is universal

T

GAVIN D. ELLIOTT COLUMNIST and well worth the consideration.

If we were to judge this duel on romanticism, the samurai would win hands down. For that is where most of the fascination with the samurai comes from.

The samurai's chivalrous code of living has earned him respect from movie producers and feudal Japan geeks alike.

They say he exhibits beauty in his extremely focused movements and his sense of honor is matched by none — all

Campus Quotes

easy things to make a blockbuster out of. Especially if you throw Tom Cruise in the mix.

But romanticism isn't quite the rock to build your beach port bungalow on.

More like sands through the hourglass.

Bushido is the soul of the samurai and instills power into his every action.

Honor is the name of his game, and a life without honor, to the samurai, is a life not worth living.

Honor, honor, honor...

This can't be stressed enough.

However, this strict chivalrous code, which led the samurai and earned him such veneration, left no room for compromise. No "buts" and no "ifs." Bushido has no patience for exceptions.

Aside from a stiff, unchanging view of reality, the samurai was a tool.

Yes, I said it — a tool — plain and simple.

The samurai's model code of ethics came from the emperor. Which, when it comes down to it, isn't as romantic as first thought. If his code of ethics came from within, it might be a different story. But not so.

The samurai inherited the cause of

screams, "Cheater! That's not in the samurai manual." To which the ninja responds, "I'm not a samurai. Stupid."

Then bows and walks off.

The ninja stays open and is flexible.

Which is why he can accomplish on his own what 10,000 stampeding samurai can't.

The samurai is the stone, the ninja is water.

Where a stone may make a few ripples in the water, water eventually overcomes, turning granite into dust.

Thus is the way of the ninja. The dogmatic assassin.

This little analogous duel can also be likened back to the American Revolution. The Empire vs. the Revolutionaries.

The Redcoats followed a strict code of battle, too. Line up in rows like bowling pins with bullets and bayonets and rely on a numerical value to overcome the enemy.

It was silly. Seriously. And why the troops of the British army agreed to these terms is beyond me. Perhaps they were promised virtue and straighttoothed women when they returned?

At any rate, the American

Revolutionaries would have none of this. And if they had adhered to the British law of combat, they'd have been crushed.

But they re-wrote the rulebook as well.

Instead of falling into easy-to-hit rows of sitting ducks, our forefathers opted to duck behind trees and prop their guns against barns for a surer aim.

The Brits yelled, "Hey! You can't do that! Come out from behind that tree!"

And the 'deserters' yelled back, "Screw you, buddy! I'm harder to hit behind this tree. But you keep standing in rows. Save bullets."

Yes, the Brits called us cowards for using our noggins instead of sticking to ridiculous "rules of combat." As I'm sure the samurai said of the ninja.

But look at the scoreboard.

I'm sure there is a moral in there somewhere. But if all you get out of it is that you're going to start wearing black jumpsuits and disappearing into a cloud of smoke from class, then so be it. Because ninjas are the coolest thing to ever walk the planet. Followed by Reebok Pumps.

the emperor whose service he was indebted to. The emperor, knowing this, need only flick his wrist to exercise the use of this feudal killing machine, however corrupt his intentions may be.

The samurai made the corrupt desires of the emperor his own virtues.

For shame...

And now, the ninja. The stealth. The outlaw. One-hundred eighty degrees away from the samurai resides the ninja.

Where the samurai memorizes a discipline of combat and fights within it, the ninja re-writes the rulebook.

And keeps re-writing it.

The ninja acknowledges that every situation, whether on the battlefield or in the face of a moral dilemma, is unique and should be faced as such.

Not every situation is going to fit itself into a nicely prescribed plan.

The samurai expects the blade to come from the right, since it is described in detail in the samurai manual as such. The ninja thinks, "This stubborn samurai assumes my blade is coming from the right." So he lobs off the samurai's left arm. And the samurai

DUBLIN, Ireland — Famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking'said Wednesday that black holes, the mysterious massive vortexes formed from collapsed stars, do not destroy everything they consume but instead eventually fire out matter and energy "in a mangled form."

Hawking's radical new thinking, presented in a paper to the 17th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation in Dublin, capped his threedecade struggle to explain an elemental paradox in scientific thinking: How can black holes destroy all traces of consumed matter and energy, As Hawking long believed, when subatomic theory says such elements must survive in some form?

Hawking's answer is that the black holes hold their contents for eons but themselves eventually deteriorate and die. As the black hole disintegrates, they send their transformed contents back into the infinite universal horizons from whence they came.

WASHINGTON — Kmart Corp. is recalling some 38,600 pool pump water guns because the nozzle can unexpectedly come off and can be propelled, which could lead to injury. There have been four reports of injuries to children including cuts and bruises to the head and face, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.

The water guns, made in Hong Kong, are 15 inches long and are shaped like large syringes with a coneshaped nozzle and either have an orange tube with green handle and nozzle or a yelloN;v tube with blue handle and nozzle. When placed in a pool, they fill with water when the handle at the top is pulled and they shoot water when pushed. There are no inscriptions on the guns.

Watkins not likely to face jail time for traffic accident TULSA, Okla. — Former U.S. Rep. Wes Watkins, who has pleaded innocent to two counts of negligent homicide in a fatal traffic accident, should not face any jail time, the district attorney said.

"Not only did Wes not intend to kill anyone, at worst he was inattentive for a few moments. That type of case would be probation," District Attorney Rob Hudson said Tuesday.

Watkins, 65, was driving his minivan south on twolane U.S. 177 south of Stillwater just before 9 a.m. April 19 when it rear-ended a car that was waiting to make a left turn, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. This car was pushed into oncoming traffic and the couple in the vehicle, Brian and Ardith Cullen, were killed. Two of their daughters, Meagan, 4, and Lindsey, 3, were injured.

Hawking resolves black hole paradox: matter doesn't disappear

WASHINGTON — President Bush on Wednesday signed legislation to develop and stockpile vaccines and other antidotes to chemical and germ attacks, saying the measure will "rally the great promise of American science and innovation to confront the greatest danger of our time."

The legislation, called Project BioShield, provides the drug industry with incentives to research and develop bioterrorism countermeasures. It speeds up the approval process of antidotes and, in an emergency, allows the government to distribute certain treatments before the Food and Drug Administration has approved them.

"We know that the terrorists seek an even deadlier technology, and if they acquire chemical, biological or nuclear weapons we have no doubt they will use them to cause even greater harm," Bush said.

Behind the Gate with Harry Gatewood

SPORTS UCO, TSU, TAMUK among

It's that time again...

With the temperature rising from 90 to 105, only athletes have the strength, endurance and mindset to go outside and prepare themselves for battle — the big game! Be ready to take the field at any moment.

I look at athletes today and say wow, that's commitment!

To work days on end preparing your mind, body, and soul. I would say its like marriage but the only difference is there's no true penalty if you take the walk and say good-bye.

Football, Soccer and Volleyball set the standard for the school year. You can feel the intensity if you're a true sports fan. Fall sports are what give the push. It's the big momentum! It brings the UCO

Bronze and Blue Spirit (Yes, even the Cheerleaders). Every year around this time, people start complaining, saying... it's almost time for school.

But for sports fans, we're saying... let's go Monday Night Football, Friday night under the lights, and Saturday's big college showdown!

For all the others, yeah, it's time to go back to school.

This is what I look forward to... the punishing hits fullbacks give to those little defensive backs. The Bronchos getting prepared to go and stomp all over Mesa.

Volleyball preparing to win the LSC, and the soccer team doesn't just go out there and

kick soccer balls, they kick tail also if you know what I mean.

This time right here is when champions are born. The dog days of summer are when everything should be put on the line. It's time to do or die!

Because when the season is here it's already too late to prepare!

That's why it's so hot outside... even God's a sports fan, he knows that now's the time that everything heats up.

Day in and day out. Every day getting closer and closer to the big finale. The crashing of helmets! The shouting of goal!

The big spike in the face! This is what it's all about!

The true American past time... Sports!
