Plans in place to make WIFI available on campus by spring '06

'Passport' to focus on India this fall Program will expose students to customs and traditions of Indian culture

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer-

Students and faculty will soon be able to log onto wireless Internet at the Max Chambers Library. The $95,000 project was supposed to be completed by the fall semester, but has been delayed a couple of months said Bonnie McNeely, executive director of the library. Bill Elliot, director of Enterprise Services who's in charge of the installation, said they are almost done setting up the wireless fidelity, or Wi-Fi, but they are waiting on more equipment to arrive. McNeely said the library had $65,000 from student technology fees, which is usually spent to fix and upgrade the library computers. "This year the computers Please see WIFI, page 5

Webb welcomes faculty, staff at fall meeting

This fall, the Passport study program will introduce India's culture to UCO through films, classes, special events and a study tour. "The point of Passport is to expose students to aspects of that culture," said Dr. Narasinga Rao, dean of the Jackson College of Graduate Studies & Research. "It will give a good understanding of India." Dr. Brent Wendling, Passport committee chairman, said the program began last fall when Dr. Don Betz, former vice president for Academic Affairs, asked him for ways to help the UCO community become more aware of the world as a result of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

THE TOSS-UP Evolution versus intelligent design. Should both be taught side-by-side in our nations schools?

RIGHT

LEFT

Toni Kennard chapter chair UCO College Republicans

Tre Ronne member of UCO Democratic Socialists

This October, the Kansas Board of Education will vote on incorporating "intelligent design" and "scientific" criticism of evolutionary theory into grade-school science curricula. FYI, intelligent design (ID) is the theory proposing that nature's complexity would require a supernatural cause. ID'ists look for evidence in nature of a Creator, which for most Americans implies the Christian God. While the 'ID' movement may include non-Christians and even non-creationists, and while 'ID' claims to be non-religious, its founding think-tank, the Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture, has explicitly stated that one primary goal is "To replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and human beings are created by God." Of course, religion and science are not inherently opposed; many believe evolution etc. is God's mechanism. But whether nature is divinely designed is not an appropriate subject for any science class.

Teachers should say neither that nature's complexity proves God's existence nor that natural processes prove God's absence. Moreover, although ID'ists may try to paint their theory as scientific, it simply isn't. As President Bush's science advisor admits, "intelligent design is not a scientific theory [nor a] scientific topic." And as Phillip Johnson (another ID'ist) says, "This isn't really, and never has been, a debate about science. It's about religion and philosophy." Funny then that Bush voiced his support for teaching 'ID' beside evolution, particularly in light of the First Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids state-establishment of religion. Sadly, presidents are rarely constitutional scholars. But it bothers me most that, at least in Kansas, one of the most demonstrated natural phenomena (evolution) may be overcome by a theory based on weak arguments, unscientific methodology, and no supporting empirical evidence.

When posed the question of whether or not intelligent design should be taught in public schools I believe President Bush said it best last week when he commented to a reporter, "Both sides ought to be properly taught...so people can understand what the debate is about." Bush added: "Part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought... you are asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas and the answer is yes." I couldn't agree with the president more. Taking intellectual design completely out of textbooks is just as much an injustice as banning evolution from being taught in the 60's. We should never try to push any certain religious belief or scientific theory on students, but on the same token we should never make our schools systems so censored that we are inhibiting free thought. The purpose of going to school is to

be educated not indoctrinated. And by presenting only one side of the spectrum, regardless of which side you may agree with, administrations are taking away the student's right to make up their own minds. The only logical approach is to teach both sides and teach them as they were intended. Unless, of course, reason and critical thinking are what you are trying to eliminate.

The Toss-up is a weekly forum where various topics are presented by two students with varying opinions. If you are interested in suggesting a topic or participating, e-mail editor@thevistaonline.corn.

Palmer said this was the tallest project he's ever worked on though not the largest. He said he also painted a mural 500 feet long

in Muskogee. Palmer began painting murals in 1995 and has painted over 600 across the state, ten of which are located in downtown OKC. He said he has worked with 200 to 300 students over the years and began hiring them as aids to give them experience in the field. "Everything I do has an educational twist," Palmer

said. "I wanted my students to experience it also." Work will begin on phase two of the mural August 29, which will be an American flag on the opposite side. One to two weeks will be spent painting clouds and signage and an equivalent time will be spent on the flag. The side of the mural with the Oklahoma flag can be

"This is one of the oldest civilizations in the world." Organizers also hope the program will attract more students from India to attend UCO. Rao's interest in Passport to India is targeted at recruiting international students to UCO. He said he has been collaborating with several universities in India to try and set up a program abroad where students can earn a degree by studying the first two years at a university in India and the last two at UCO. "I'm hoping this is the beginning and we will attract more students to our graduate programs," Rao said. One recruit, Vijay Viswanath, will be attending UCO in the fall as a graduate student in political science. Viswanath was recruited by such institutions as the London School of Economics, but said he chose to come to UCO because Rao was in India last year and was able to meet him in person and help simplify the admissions process. "I think it's an excellent program and it offers what I'm looking for in terms of what I'm doing," Viswanath said. "Any university would grab him but he chose to come here," Rao said. "Our goal is to attract a pool of highly and academically qualified students to the graduate program." Rao said Naifeh proclaimed August 15, 2005 as "India Day" for the city of Edmond because India became independent of British rule Aug. 15, 1947. Events, times and places will be posted on the Passport to India Web site. Direct any questions about the program to Dr. Rao at 974-2524. Courtney Bryce can be reached at cbryce@thevistaonline.com.

BCLI retreat thriving in third year I 53 students take part in leadership activities camp by Latasha Ellis-Cobb Vista Staff Writer

Student Affairs held the Broncho Corral Leadership Institute Aug. 1213 at Camp Canyon in Hinton, Okla. "The program is designed to enhance the leadership skills of student leaders on campus," said Emily Overocker, assistant director of Campus Life for new student and leadership programs. "It also gives them a chance to make a connection with each other off -campus." Overocker said the intent of the

program was to focus on the three C's: character, community and civility. The activities included a ropes course, labyrinth and various miniseminars. "It was awesome, amazing for both the students and the staff," Overocker said. Bridget Jones, assistant director of Campus Life said, "BCLI is a holistic approach to leadership with an emphasis on balance." Jones, who gave a presentation on conflict resolution, said this was her second year attending as an advisor. "This year was wonderful," Jones said. Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of Student Affairs, welcomed the

students to the camp and gave a speech entitled "Realizing Your Full Potential." "It was exhilarating," Gage said. "It was one of those moments that remind me of why I do the work I do." Although registration is usually capped at 50 students, Overocker said 53 students attended this year. Overocker said this is the third year for BCLI.

New program designed to offer freshmen leadership roles U Webb wants UCO to be a leadership university with commitment of incoming freshmen by Latasha Ellis-Cobb Vista Staff Writer

A new UCO leadership program, designed for incoming freshmen, is set to begin fall 2005.

Bridget Jones, assistant director of Campus Life, said the B.R.O.N.C.H.O.S. Leadership Certificate Program stands for Belonging-Readiness-Outreach-Networking-CultureHealth-Opportunity-Spirit. Jones said the idea for the program came from a conversation she had with UCO President W. Roger Webb in which he said he wanted UCO to be "the leadership university."

She said she could think of no better way to produce student leaders than to offer the leadership program to all students. "This year is the pilot program," Jones said, "We have two sections of 25 each. It is the first 50 that signed up." Current student leaders including members of the President's Leadership Council, will conduct the program, Jones said.

"There will be four student facilitators and four assistant student facilitators," Jones said. She said student leaders will be able to give incoming freshmen a glimpse of UCO from a student's perspective. Jones said the program is designed to grow with students and offers guidance all four years, including helping them to register with career services their

senior year. Jason Hines, assistant student facilitator, said, "We went through a workshop last week to help us get prepared." "I am pumped up about the program," Hines said, "UCO is taking a step in the right direction to become one of the top leadership schools in the nation." Hines said the program will give students the chance to become outstand-

She said the library was originally only going to equip the first and fourth floors, but Information Technology suggested they equip the whole building with Wi-Fi and provided the money. "It would save money and time if we did the entire building at once," said Dr. Cynthia Rolfe, vice president of IT. McNeely said the library will have 20 laptops that students can check out for library use. Students and faculty will also be able to use their personal laptops in the library.

The , Nigh University Center and the Broncho Lake area are the next in line to get Wi-Fi, Rolfe said. "We have in our long range plan to make the entire campus wireless," Rolfe said. "We are doing it building by building." Rolfe said several committees, including a student advisory committee, determine the order that Wi-Fi will go into buildings.

Eddy system adds new 'Broncho Bus' to serve Central Plaza by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

Students living at Central Plaza will be able to catch the new Broncho Bus in time for classes this fall. The bus will replace the smaller Eddy trolley that UCO used last year, the first year for UCO to offer students public transportation. "It's a little bit more efficient and we wanted our own look," said Karen Ock-

er, director of Transportation & Parking Services. The bus has been routed to run past Central Plaza every 30 minutes, beginning at 7 a.m. and running until 2 p.m. Ocker said the new routes will be convenient for students going to and from classes. Antonio Pete, incoming physical therapy freshman, said, "Gas is like $2.50. Why spend money on gas

and run the Broncho Bus," Ocker said. The Broncho Bus will be painted with a bronze and blue insignia once the new design is decided. Ocker said students who ride the bus will save money by not having to buy a parking permit, which will help ease parking shortages. Students will still be able to purchase the green resident parking permits. However, only one parking lot

Charges dropped for pair accused of unauthorized computer use Students thought to be viewing pornography on university computers could have faced fines and prison. by Nathan Winfrey

Vista Staff Writer

Charges filed by UCO against accused computer criminals Harry Motter and Sarah Wall were dropped June 21, six days before they

were set to appear before a jury for alleged misconduct that took place Sept. 15, 2004. Motter, 34, and Wall, 26, were arrested last fall for unauthorized use of a computer, defined as a criminal misdemeanor in court documents, after lab monitor Wesley Powell reported they were viewing questionable material. There was uncertainty about whether they had a right to be using the computers in the first place because their status as students was in question.

In the police report, Powell said he witnessed Motter and Wall viewing photographs of naked females every night of that week, but he did not find it odd because UCO offers nude modeling drawing classes. The report stated that when the police arrived, it appeared that Motter and Wall were closing down windows on their computer screens, and they did not open any new windows while the officer was present. They had a box of 50 to 100 CDR disks sitting between them that it looked

like they had been using. "They said that we were downloading pornography. Now, we've never seen this pornography. No one ever said exactly what this pornography was. There was never any porn produced and the people who said they saw it were really hazy on what they saw," Motter said. Motter said they were in the lab working on a project for their senior exhibit class, which they have postponed taking until spring of 2006 because of the incident, as well as pictures from Wall's trip to France earlier that

summer. "The official charges were unauthorized use of a computer," said Motter. Wall said that they were released after about two and a half hours, but then two weeks later the police put out a warrant for their arrest. She said. "We were arrested and then released with the trespass warning, and then they issued the warrant that we found out about through The Vista." "The charges have definitely been dropped as far as the pornography and the use of the computer," said Motter.

"All along they were having trouble with evidence. Also, we heard they were having trouble with witnesses." Wall said, "If we would have been found guilty of a felony we would have gotten up to a $100,000 fine and/or up to 10 years in state prison." Both Motter and Wall attended class at UCO during the summer semester.

Former Vista editor faces charges

Two students detained by DPS

Four-day Week

Bradley Chase Pemberton, a 2001 UCO journalism graduate, appeared in court July 13 for a pre-trial conference on complaints of driving under the influence, sexual battery and murder for hire. Pemberton was recorded on audiotape offering between $4,000 and $5,000 to have a former co-worker killed after she had accused him of sexual assault. He will appear at a jury trial February 6 on charges of sexual battery and solicitation to commit murder. On July 27, Pemberton was found guilty of a February 2005 driving under the influence charge and was sentenced to a five-year suspended sentence, with the first six months to be served in county jail.

Two UCO students were detained by police with a gun drawn at 10:15 a.m. June 30 in the Nigh University Center. Latasha Ellis-Cobb, journalism sophomore, and Justin Aver, a photojournalism junior, were stopped by police outside Citizens Bank. The two officers, Brian Maloy and James Porterfield, were responding to a silent alarm from the bank. DPS said they responded because of a miscommunication with the bank about an alarm test.

A new four-day schedule for students was created for summer 2005 classes. The plan cut electric costs since most buildings were closed by noon on Friday.

'Vigilante' has his day in court UCO journalism student Brian Bates was charged with three counts of pandering February 23, 2005. Bates was charged with two more counts of pandering at his preliminary hearing June 14 after Renee McCullough, an admitted prostitute, testified that Bates paid her to lure "johns" to specific locations so he could film them.

LibertyFest The third annual LibertyFest was held in Edmond June 25 through July 4. The festival included a car show, Concert in the Park, a rodeo, KiteFest, a Taste of Edmond, a road rally, parade, ParkFest and fireworks show. New events included Miss Edmond LibertyFest and Miss Edmond LibertyFest Teen Scholarship pageant. Cara Blankenship, UCO speech and language pathology junior, won first-runner up in the Miss Edmond LibertyFest pageant. She received $500 in cash and a $1,200 UCO tuition waiver.

Memorial park planned UCO president Dr. Roger W. Webb approved plans for a memorial park for late UCO professor Terry May in late July. The memorial will be built beside Thatcher Hall near the Broncho Lake waterfall. Of the $5,000 needed, $4,300 has been raised. Completion is set for November 11, 2005.

Oklahoma Shakespeare in Park UCO's Plunkett Park was the temporary home to Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park this summer after the OSP stage at Ilafer Park burned April 30. This is the 2n" fire OSP has experienced. The first stage was destroyed in 2001 by an arsonist. The new stage will be available for other UCO depaitinents and possibly to host concerts.

Tuition hike across the board This fall UCO students can expect an in-state tuition raise of 9.3 percent, around $195 per year. The money from the increase will go toward scholarships and grants. UCO has the fifth highest increase in the state. Steve Kreidler, executive vice president, said UCO costs about 15 percent less than similarly sized schools in surrounding states.

ART OBSERVATION BY STAFF WRITER RADINA GIGOVA

Art chair Daun does extracurricular art show over summer It was a hot summer afternoon. I drove into downtown Oklahoma City, searching for, the brick building at 1NE 3i d. The red brick was just visible behind the bridge. Once the metal doors were unlocked for me, I could see the interior of the one-time auto parts manufacturing company and sewing factory for army uniforms. Now, everything was transformed into magic. The old factory, now called UNTITLED [Art Space] is the place where Joseph Daun, chair of the UCO Art Department since 2003, placed the product of his artistic creation over the last two years, unified under the title "Fear and Apathy." Daun transformed the place even more by adding his personal messages and-

and gallery director at Georgetown College, he also taught at Texas A&M, New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred University in New York, and others. In 2003 Daun was hired as chair of the Art Department at UCO. He was shown in many art galleries across the U.S., including a prestigious residency at Art Pace in San Antonio, a one-person exhibit at Hollwalls Contemporary Art Center in Buffalo, NY, a one-person exhibit at 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, and others. "I've always been attracted to different teaching situations," Daun said. For him, UCO had the potential to be a cradle for art. "There was a period of my life when I didn't have time to create art," Daun said.

He began working on the pieces when he started at UCO. Some students helped him to build them. He became a real role model both for students and faculty in terms of doing research and practicing his "craft." "The exhibit really creates an experience. You are actually participating and you have to interact," said UCO graduate Klint Schor, who also helps in the maintenance of the pieces. "I hope my exhibit can be a starting point to help motivate people to go seek art," Daun said.

FILM REVIEW: THE SKELETON KEY

'Skeleton Key' billed as horror flick, actually more of a thriller Ben suffers from a suspicious paralysis. His wife delivers cryptic warnings and bestows Caroline with a skeleton key that unlocks every door in the house except one. Violet's cryptic warnings couple with bumps in the night and doors that close by themselves to lead their new houseguest to delve into the secrets of the black magic "hoodoo," a secular form of voodoo, much to the dismay of the Devereaux family lawyer (Peter Sarsgaard, "Garden State"). All of this sets the scene for one of the most shocking supernatural thrillers in years. In the vein of "Rosemary's Baby," accomplished horror screenwriter Ehren Kruger ("The Ring," "Scream 3") delivers a masterful adventure that plugs along like a slow cruise through the bayou, building steam and nerve-splitting suspense until it

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer

Kate Hudson broke free from her cutesy romantic comedy routine to plunge into the world of sphagnum moss and witchdoctors in "The Skeleton Key," a Deep South mind-bender unfairly being promoted as a horror movie. The plot starts off like a standard haunted house film: Caroline Ellis (Hudson, "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days") replies to an ad in the newspaper seeking a live-in nurse for stroke victim Ben Devereaux (John Hurt, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"), supposedly placed by his wife Violet (Gena Rowlands, "The Notebook"). Caroline moves in with the elderly couple in their rundown mansion with a dark past in the marshlands of the South.

Sense." Visually stunning, the intense camerawork and inspired set design build the perfect mood for an eerie summer escape to the dark side of Louisiana without becoming sticky or over-produced. Such a rich environment needs little dressing up, and some of the most effective shots are of derelict houses and beached shrimp boats that look as if they were cut and pasted from "Forrest Gump." In this macabre tone, even something as harmless as a statue of the Virgin Mary can send a chill down your spine. The soundtrack almost exclusively features traditional Kate Hudson is entrusted with a Louisiana tunes and creepy most unsavory key in the Universal incantations that set the mood Studios release "Skeleton Key." and complement the historic scenery, and may even inspire a craving for crawdads and gumbo. film of this type since "The Sixth

This visionary tale, while perhaps not completely original, delivers well above what is currently to be expected from the PG-13 horror genre. It's not quite Hitchcock, despite what the previews would have you believe, but it certainly stands out strong on a bleak landscape that's only other recent blips are the sub-par "Hide and Seek" and "Dark Water." If you want a good scare long before Halloween, and want something more than a man in a costume jumping out of a closet, do yourself a favor and see this movie before your well-meaning friends ruin it for you.

'40-year-old Virgin' in tradition of 80's sex comedies by Christy Lemire AP Movie Critic Sex is easy, comedy is hard. A sex comedy that's not just a raunchy, moronic romp seems downright impossible. That's what makes "The 40-YearOld Virgin" such a great ride. The title harkens to those single-minded slapstick-fests of the early 1980s, like "Porky's," "Spring Break" and "Private Resort." But don't let that throw you. In following the adventures of a man who has yet to do the deed at age 40, "Virgin" offers a mix of surprisingly

subtle humor, inspired writing, meticu- elaborate collection of sci-fi parapherlous details and a fabulously eclectic nalia. He wears an argyle sweater to play cast led by Steve Carell from "The Daily Show," utterly charming in his poker with the guys, all of whom are tossing back beers while he sips an first starring role. More importantly, it is hysterically orange Fanta. But Apatow, executive producer of funny we're talking frequently laughout-loud funny even more so than the short-lived but critically adored the summer's other R-rated comedy, TV series "Freaks and Geeks," depicts "Wedding Crashers," which looks pret- Andy as neither a freak nor a geek.

Apatow (who co-wrote the script with Andy is a truly good person, someCarell and makes his film directing thing all the women he meets quickly debut) clearly has genuine respect recognize. He's just a little immature and affection for this character. True, and unsure of himself. Carell's Andy Stitzer is obsessed w,itik Meanwhile, scene-stealer Seth video games and fastidious about 'Ito-gen5Milaracter, the goateed, pot-

smoking Cal, is far more direct in his advice. He tells Andy to go out there and do it with whoever he can and just get it over with so that when he does connect with someone special, as he does with Catherine Keener's Trish, she won't think he's such a loser. Don't worry, kids, the movie does have its share of gross-out jokes. In one awkward attempt at getting lucky, Andy instead gets a face full of regurgitated strawberry daiquiri from a willing but hammered blonde. But "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" isn't really even about Andy fumbling toward ecstasy. It's about how he grows up and gains confidence, and the unexpected relationships he forges

in the process. Andy can't share himself with someone else until he finds out who he is. And he can't find out who he is without the help of his friends. So for a movie that's about going all the way, "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" is really more like a warm hug at the end of a great date: sweet, heartfelt, and leaving you longing to call the next morning, just to say thanks. "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," a Universal Pictures release, is rated R for pervasive sexual content, language and some drug use. Running time: 116 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

Broncho Football

■ UCO head football coach Chuck Langston discusses the upcoming season with Vista senior sports writer Harry Gatewood III

Photo by Naomi Takebuchi

UCO head coach Chuck Langston may have his best team since arriving at UCO. The Bronchos were picked to win the Lone Star North Division Championship in a preseason poll of LSC coaches, SIDs, and media representatives.

Compared to the past two years you have coached UCO football, what is your vision for this year's team? This should be our best football team. We're very experienced on defense. We returned a lot of players that have played a lot of football here. They've had a lot of success. On offense we have playmakers, Justin Allgood, Ced Jones, and some recruits that we brought in. But it's not about the most talented team you have. It's if they can come together, if they can respect one another, if they can be unselfish players. It's all the intangibles that go along with being a team. Football is a team sport. So the question is, can we mesh all these different characters together and mesh all these different backgrounds to make a team? What kinds of transitions has the team made offensively and defensively in game-play formations? I think we will -lot& a lot" similar to what we have done (in previous seasons). There won't be a whole lot of changes. I think we just got to know what we're doing, don't make mental mistakes. Just have everybody in the right place. We're not going to change anything. We have had a lot of

success with what we have done.

good unit.

What players do you expect to step up defensively?

With the absence of former kicker A.J. Haglund, who will fill his shoes?

Our secondary returns two All-conference players (Bernard Moore and Fred Shaw). Anthony Byrd has been an All-American and AllConference player as well, we got capable guys at corner and our linebacker core should be really good. With Tyler Ellis, Turquoy Riggs, and Uriah Matthew. So you know we have a lot of stellar players on defense.

We signed Jason Dixon out of NEO, who has an extremely strong leg. But A.J. is the most accurate kicker I've been around. He's hard to replace.

What players do you expect to step up offensively with the loss of three players from the offensive line? I expect big things from Bobby Brooks. Sam Owens had a great spring; he's a freshman, a young guy from Putnam City West. Big Kito (Talbert) played a lot for us last year, Matt Compton, had a great spring practice: Palk) Prado had 'a' great spring. We signed •some- guys, Kory Pitre and Josh Elmore - they'll be in the mix. I don't expect anything to fall off as far as our offensive line goes. It's hard to replace experience but at the same time they're going to gain experience and I think they're going to be a

SHAW from page 16 "I knew from the get-go - if I were to ever leave 0-State where I was going," Seymour said. "Just like in high school;' I love playing with Fred, and he loves playing with me. I can say a couple of words to him and he is going to react. We are at UCO together and I love it." Coming out of Shawnee High School, Seymour originally signed with the University of Oklahoma as a partial qualifier': But the Sooners later opted to designate tight end James "Bubba" Moses as their partial qualifier instead. Seymour then transferred to Oklahoma State. Now, Seymour has laid down the cowboy hat and saddles up to become a Broncho. He said he fits in well with the team. "I've always been a Broncho, because my brother has been a Broncho," Seymour said. "I fit just like [Fred] fits."

Are there any newcomers or transfers that will have an immediate impact to this season? You know, I think if those guys handle their business this summer they will. Charles Elix should have a tremendous impact as well as Kenneth Shelton on offense. They just have to finish up and go ahead and do what they need to do to get eligible and get on the field and help our football team win games. With the addition of Calvin Miller to the UCO football :coaching staff, what stood out about him compared to others qualified for the position?

instant credibility to himself, to our players, to our coaching staff. But more importantly than anything is the character he has and the integrity that he has. He can minister to these young men. He's a leader. We're just blessed to have him. He's big time. How do you think Coach Miller will fit into the UCO coaching staff, and what do you look for him to do personally? I think he will be invaluable to us. He will be doing more than on the field coaching but off the field as well. The impact that he is going to make on young people's lives, that's the key. You know Coach Miller is a man of integrity and he _ brings credibility and demands respect from the players. I believe our players are in for a treat to have a guy of his caliber coaching. I'm extremely excited about him and having an opportunity to coach with him and to just be around him as a man, because he is a difference maker. He is a difference maker in young people's lives, a: difference maker in my life, to the coaching staff and a great added benefit to this University.

Calvin will be a great asset to our program. Just his experience and experience on all levels of football. He was an NFL player and brings

UCO quarterback Justin Allgood said Seymour's presence alone will have an impact on the Bronchos. "I think he'll have a huge impact," Allgood said. "I think people are a lot more confident coming in here having a guy like Seymour, given his caliber and what he's done at Oklahoma State." Seymour will compete for playing time with the Bronchos' deep stable of running backs. UCO returns senior Kevin McKenzie and has signed junior college transfer Charles Elix from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M. A starter has not yet been named. "My vision for this year's team is to go undefeated," Seymour said, "all the way to the national title. That's the bottom line."

ALLGOOD from page 16 feel any added outside pressure as a result of all the preseason accolades. "I don't feel there's a lot of pressure on me," Allgood said. "It's a team sport. I feel like there's pressure on us as a team, . because the goal is to win championships, not awards." Langston believes the preseason hype only helps his quarterback. "I think it gives Allgood confidence," he said. "He knows we expect big things out of him, but he expects them , out of himself as well. It's a great honor, but he still has to play the season." The 2005 Bronchos return 15 starters and 22 lettermen from last year's 8-2 squad that won a share of the Lone Star Conference North championship. They are the clear-cut favorites to win their division this year, according to a preseason poll of LSC North coaches,, sports information directors and media representatives. The Bronchos open their season on the road Aug. 25 against Missouri Western. Their first home game in the newly . renovated Wantland Stadium will be Sept. 10 when they host West Texas A&M.

NCAA bans 'offensive' mascots Ruling will affect two LSC schools by Harry Gatewood III Hsta Senior Sports Writer

The NCAA has outlawed the use of exploitative Native American imagery for mascots in postseason tournaments. A total of 18 colleges across the country will be affected by the ruling, including two members of the Lone Star Conference. The NCAA executive committee met in Indianapolis and said they would not allow hostile or abusive mascots or nicknames on team uniforms or clothing during postseason play. The release was distributed on Aug. 5 by Bob Williams,

the NCAA's managing director of public and media relations. Stan Wagnon, director of media relations for the LSC, said using Native American imagery includes the spears, shields, Indian heads, etc., that appear on helmets and uniforms. Additionally, any music or crowd participation activities that are seen as offensive (like Florida State's "tomahawk chop") will be prohibited. NCAA officials said they have no right to ban these mascots in the regular season or at schools. But once the postseason begins, teams like the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savages and the Midwestern State University Indians, both of the LSC, will have to consider change.

"Southeastern and documentation it is difficult to Midwestern are affected say how this will affect us. It because they continue to use is not our intention to alter `Indian' logos, like the spear our nickname. However, if in SOSU's logo and on MSU's the legislation actually goes helmet, etc.," said Wagnon. into effect next year we will Alan Burton, SOSU's direc- do whatever is necessary to tor of public information, said remain in compliance."

NSU officials say they said. "Once we receive this have no intention of following information, we will review it up on the situation. thoroughly and will certainly comply with the directives of the NCAA on this issue."

picks? Since you know how I feel from page 16 about the Patriots, I guess the obvious choices to take their spot atop the AFC would be the Steelers or Colts. But I'll take the Baltimore Ravens, and here's why: They upgraded their offense enough (with the signing of Derrick Mason, the drafting of Mark Clayton, and the renewed health of Todd Heap) that Kyle Boller should be at least as effective as, say, former Ravens quarterback Trent Dilfer. And we know what happens when you combine a competent offense with the rock-solid Ravens defense. The scary thing is that this Ravens defense might be as good in 2005 as their record-setting 2001 unit. New defensive coordinator Rex Ryan is

switching the team back to the 4-3 scheme, after a two-year experiment with the 3-4. Ryan, the son of former Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, will also run a fair amount of his father's signature "46" scheme (the same one that made the Bears of the mid-80' s the best defense ever). In the Ravens' new schemes, Ray Lewis will return to his natural middle linebacker position and Terrell Suggs will return to his natural defensive end position. I believe this constitutes an upgrade that will return the Ravens to the Super Bowl. As for the NFC, I honestly believe it's as wide open as I can ever remember. If Terrell Owens plays for the Eagles, and if he and Donovan McNabb can still have a productive on-field relationship, the Eagles are the clear choice. But such a scenario seems less likely every

day. Given the uncertainty in Philly, I'll go ahead and jump completely aboard the Carolina bandwagon. The Panthers are a grind-it-out team that lives by the idea that all you have to do is keep the score close, then make the plays that make the difference. Last season, four of their nine losses were by three points. If they make four or five more plays this season, they're looking at 11-5 instead of 7-9. And we've seen what they're capable of in the playoffs. Not only do I love the Panthers this season, I would even go as far as to predict they'll oust the Eagles as the perennial favorites for the NFC crown in the near future.

Former OSU tailback joins Bronchos for 2005 season Seymour Shaw intends to make the most of new opportunity. by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer

Photo by Naomi Takebuchi

Former Oklahoma State running back Seymour Shaw gears up for practice Wednesday. Shaw transferred to UCO for his final season of eligibility.

Seymore Shaw, who was projected to start at running back for Oklahoma State University this season, transferred to UCO in early August. Shaw's decision to transfer followed OSU head coach Mike Gundy's announcement that Shaw would be suspended indefinitely from the team. Shaw was suspended in June after he was charged with felony counts of first-degree burglary and larceny, and misdemeanor counts of domestic abuse and malicious injury to property. Shaw and UCO head coach Chuck Langston met Aug. 5 to discuss the conditions for Shaw's joining. "Coach Langston wants me to conduct myself how I am supposed to conduct myself," Shaw said. "Coach

Langston told me to just be myself, don't try to be anyone I'm not, just come out and show everybody what I can do." Shaw, a partial qualifier who earned an additional year of eligibility by graduating in May, will have one season of eligibility at UCO. Since he is transferring to a lower division, he will be able to 'participate with the Bronchos without any setbacks. Shaw, a Shawnee native, rushed for 1,238 yards and nine touchdowns in his three-year stay at OSU. Last season, although he wasn't the starter, Shaw played in all 12 of OSU's games and rushed for 377 yards and two touchdowns on 81 carries. Shaw is the older brother of UCO senior safety Fred Shaw who was second in team tackles in 2004 with 68, including 31 unassisted stops. Fred also recorded four interceptions and six pass break-ups. "Just a year ago we were saying how we wished we could play together, now it's a dream come true. It's about to happen," Fred said.

Eyes on the prize

Broncho QB prefers championship trophies to individual honors by Matt Cauthron Vista Sports Editor

Make no mistake, Justin Allgood wants to win the Harlon Hill Trophy. He wants it bad. But it's not personal glory that fuels the UCO quarterback's desire for Division II football's highest honor. Rather, he realizes that such awards traditionally go to players on championship-caliber teams. "I honestly think if we win championships — a conference title or a national title — there's a good chance I could get it. And that has a lot to do with how I feel about it," Allgood said. "All the stats, all the awards — they don't mean anything. I've never won a championship, and that's my main goal: to lead this team to a title." Allgood, a native of The Colony, Texas, began playing football as a kid because of his father. "My dad played football for the Marine Corps," he said. "It's one of those things, I always wanted to play football because my dad did." But early in his football career, Allgood's talent for quarterbacking wasn't immediately apparent. It wasn't until his sophomore year in high school that he even got a shot at playing the position. "I never was a quarterback," Allgood said. "I was always a receiver, always on the Bteam." One day during practice for the sophomore team at The Colony High School, Allgood's coaches saw him throwing and offered him the chance to try his hand at quarterback. The rest, as they say, is history. After his senior year at The Colony, during which he earned an honorable mention on the All-State team, Allgood

was recruited to Trinity Valley Junior College in Athens, Texas. He was recruited by UCO head coach Chuck Langston, who was Trinity's head coach at the time. In two seasons at Trinity, Allgood threw for 4,056 yards and 32 touchdowns, earning All-Conference honors in 2003. After Langston came to UCO, he recruited his young star yet again. "[Allgood] has everything you look for in a quarterback," Langston said. "I think his talent level is tremendous. He's got a quick release, he's a mobile kid, so he can make plays in and out of the pocket. He is very smart and really understands the game well. He knows where to go with the ball and makes quick decisions. He has all the intangibles you look for." Although he didn't begin the 2004 season as the Bronchos' starting quarterback, Allgood said it was only a matter of learning the offense, then he was off and running. "The guy who started before me, he knew the system," Allgood said. "He had been here, and he's a real smart guy. That was the main thing that hurt me in the beginning — not knowing the offense yet." But it wasn't long before Allgood found his grasp of the offense, and from there he began adding his name to the UCO record books. Allgood, despite not starting the first two games of the season, passed for 2,556 yards in 2004, the second-best passing season in UCO history. He completed 63.5 percent of his passes, tying a single season school record, and threw 16 touchdowns with nine interceptions. He was also the first quarterback in UCO football's 99-year history to pass for 300 yards in three consecutive games. In recognition of his efforts, Allgood was one of 26 finalists for the Harlon Hill trophy in 2004, the Division II equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. He was also named a preseason All-American and Lone Star Conference North preseason' offensive player of the year for 2005. Allgood, a relative unknown corning into last season, said he doesn't

One Guy's Opinion by Matt Cauthron Vista Sports Editor

ince the NFL season is right around the corner, and since I refuse to write about the Terrell Owens soap opera, there's only one thing left for me to do: preseason NFL predictions! So, without further ado...

S

This year's Bill Callahan Award (for the team that will go from the playoffs to the cellar in just one year) goes to the mighty New England Patriots. I know, they've been a great team. In the age of free agency and the salary cap, what they've done has been incredible. But even though they've had consistent success finding replacements after losing key contributors, they have never suffered near this many off-season departures. They lost the heart of their

NFL FORECAST formidable defense with the retirement of linebacker Ted Johnson and the decision by linebacker Teddy Bruschi to sit out the 2005 season following a stroke. But, perhaps most importantly, they lost offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennell. Maybe I'm just wearing blinders because I'm a Sooner fan, and the loss of Mike Stoops was probably more devastating to the team than the loss of any single player in the last five years. But I firmly believe that coordinators are far more valuable than many head coaches would like to admit. After all, football is about executing the plays that are called. When a team is as successful as the Patriots have been, credit must be given to the guys calling those plays. Maybe "cellar" is a bit of a

stretch, but I won't be a bit surprised if the Pats have some free time come January. The Bill Parcells Award (for the team with a losing record in 2004 that will turn it around and make a deep playoff run in 2005) goes to the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers posted a disappointing 7-9 record in 2004, after taking the Patriots to the wire in Super Bowl XXXIX. But they have since retooled their offensive line, signing Pro-Bowl caliber left tackle Mike Wahle away from Green Bay. They also upgraded their secondary, their only questionable defensive unit, with the singing of Seattle cornerback Ken Lucas. And yes, they lo t wide receiver Muhsin M med to free agency in the off-season, the 2004 league-leader in receiving yards. But the younger, faster Steve Smith, wr suffered

a broken leg in the first game of last season, will be back and fully healthy. Plus, they acquired veteran Rod Gardner from Washington to shore up a solid receiving corps. And while it's true their tailbacks have proven injury-prone, the Panthers certainly aren't hurting for depth at the position. And, as always, quarterback Jake Delhomme will be his steady, consistent self. These Panthers are not the Indianapolis Colts; they won't especially impress anyone this year. But they have a solid defense, a relatively favorable schedule, and a battle-tested team who (forgive the cliché) has been there before. I'm betting they can get there again. And, last but not least, what Photo by AP NFL predictions column would be complete without Super Bowl Will Tom Brady and the New England Patriots be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy again this season?

Welcome Back! Welcome one and all to another exciting semester at the University of Central Oklahoma. The Vista staff has been putting this issue together for the last couple of weeks, but only in the last few days have we really started to notice the buzz of activity and the realization that thou-

sands of people are about to pour onto the campus. Gone will be the summer days when we could take our pick of parking spots, gone are empty food lines and the leisure of getting new I.D.s and permits whenever we feel like it. Today the halls will be choked with milling bod-

ies, the parking lots will be jammed with displaced cars, and our minds will be filling up with the new things we are supposed to learn and digest and put to good use. If you're new here, it'll be exciting, and for a while, you might feel like you're having fun. Then you'll

find yourself parking a mile away by the football field on a day when it snows, and the honeymoon period will be over. But that's okay. You'll get used to it. People will drop out and parking spots will become more plentiful. Cramming for tests will become sec-

and nature. You'll learn what your limit is when it comes to Ramen noodles. You'll learn how to navigate the world of college, and by doing that learn how to navigate the rest of the world. So we at the Vista wish each and every one of you the best of luck, and offer

Despite understandable concerns voiced by parents about safety and security, the biggest ehallenge you are likely to encounter at UCO is not having your laptop stolen or finding a parking space — the biggest challenge is finding time to enjoy all that UCO has to offer. That said, it doesn't mean that you should leave doors unlocked, your backpack unattended or engage

in poor safety practices. The challenge for the UCO Department of Public Safety (DPS) is to help all community members feel safe and to be safe while encouraging an active and fulfilling academic experience. UCO provides locks, exterior lighting, alarms, emergency phones in buildings, police patrols, safety escorts, environmental health and safety programs and crime preven-

tion programming to help everyone at UCO engage in activities that are safe and reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of crime. We need your help to be successful. Taking time to exercise caution in unsafe weather conditions and properly handling hazardous materials in campus science laboratories reduces the likelihood of injuries. Locking your residence or car reduces the likelihood

of property theft which is UCO's most frequently reported crime. Letting people know where you are and when you will be home, trusting your instincts and looking out for the interests of your friends helps further reduce the unlikely possibility of crimes such as sexual assault. Safety and security are everyone's business. We ask for your help in continuing to make UCO a

safe community for everyone. If you have questions about campus public safety operations, give us a call at 974-2345. We are here twenty-four hours a day to serve you.

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 Poopon mustard, and my homemade red wine vinaigrette and real guacamole.
