NI Increase also brings parking woes

by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer

This fall UCO is seeing record enrollment per credit hour.

Jerry Legere, assistant vice president for Enrollment Management said the number of hours students are enrolled is up almost 5,100 from last fall.

"Our objective for this year was to grow about two percent. We are just slightly over that at this point," Legere said.

He said the university doesn't know exactly how many more students are enrolled at UCO from last fall, but he estimates around 300 more students.

"It seems a lot busier this year.

Parking is horrendous," said Janna Norman, corporate communication senior.

Spase Ivanovski, management information junior, said he is glad the number of faculty members is also growing to help ease class sizes.

Legere said Enrollment Services has extended the UCONNECT enrollment date through the weekend, making midnight Aug. 28 the last day to add or drop classes.

Many students will find new plagiarism statements in their syllabi this semester because a program designed to curb cheating has been expanded on campus.

The university has purchased a oneyear site license for www.Turnitin.com, a plagiarism prevention Web site that the English Department has used the past four years.

Students will submit papers by their class code and Turnitin.com will check the paper for originality against articles published online or in a database.

Unoriginal phrases and paragraphs are marked in red and matched with the original source.

"I have personally seen my plagiarism cases drop in the last two years or so," said English professor Dr. Kurt Hochenauer. "Turnitin.com catches

The UCO Student Association will meet in a joint session to address new business at 1 p.m.

Aug. 29 in Constitution Hall in the Nigh University Center.

The UCOSA constitution states that every student enrolled at UCO is a member of UCOSA. Anyone can attend the UCOSA House and Senate meetings, said Nathan Woolard, student body president. However, he said speaking and voting privileges are granted only to senators or representatives.

"We have a two-house legislature," Woolard said. "It's set up just like the Oklahoma State Legislature."

Woolard said the Senate is made up of nearly 200 student organizations. However, only about 80 organizations come to the Senate meetings and are allocated funds.

Woolard said one of the Senate's biggest responsibilities is allocating the more than $350,000 in student activity fees to student organizations.

Senators are elected by and represent various organizations, while the House of Representatives is made up of students who represent the different colleges.

Jill Sallee, speaker of the House, said she plans to make the House a more effective body.

"We are • making sure we follow the House rules—In the past the ball has been dropped," Sallee said. "I would like it to become a

difference if you copy your Comp I term paper from the Internet or "borrow" a few critical points for an essay on Viking burial rituals? It's a lot of difference, unfortunately. It's the difference between knowing what you're talking about and being a weasel that can read.

The fact is the university isn't doing this to go on a witch-hunt for overworked students. They want us to do our job, which is to be studious, conscientious and sincere in our efforts to learn, the way they are in their efforts to teach. The least we can do is meet them halfway.

So here are a few suggestions to keep you from running afoul of the plagiarism police:

Read over the text you are using as a basis for your research. Get the gist of the text, take a breath, digest the information and then summarize in your 'own words. It might take a little time, but you really will live if you skip this week's episode of "Big Brother."

Familiarize yourself with plagiarism rules in your department. Some professors require MLA, some Chicago, and some APA. Get a book and figure out what they want from you. That way, when you stay up all night and finish your paper an hour before class, you'll hopefully have saved enough time to take a shower instead of formatting half asleep.

Citing obscure text may seem like

a safe zone, but with the advent of Google and other search engines, your crimes are only a click away. No matter hoW randoin or unknown you think your `botroWed" source is, it can be found somewhere. If you're not smart enough to write your own material, you're probably not smart enough to fool your professor, much less the Internet.

For better all-around health take time for breakfast ou've seen research studies pinpointing higher test scores in students who eat breakfast.

Statistics aside, not even the whole "fuel your brain" logic can rouse you more than 15 minutes before your first class just to eat.

According to the American Dietetic Association, breakfast does indeed "improve cognitive function related to memory, test grades, and school attendance."

Less than half of the adult U.S. population reports consuming something (other than coffee) before lunchtime, a surprising statistic given the overall health benefits of starting your day with a tangible source of energy on those sluggish mornings.

Americans who head for their daily destinations on an empty stomach are five times more likely to develop obesity.

y

The American Heart Association has concluded that individuals who regularly eat breakfast are half as likely to develop coronary distress and the high cholesterol that causes it.

Recent research even notes significantly lower rates of heart disease and diabetes mellitus among breakfast eaters because they tend to consume less overall calories throughout the day.

Rather than eating a large lunch and a larger dinner before pursuing sleep or other sedentary activities, breakfast allows the body a chance to properly utilize calorie intake.

Attempting to cram an entire day's recommended diet into only two meals is nearly impossible, and national food requirements are based on a daily three-meal plan.

Insulin helps to improve

concentration, not just for work or study, but also for driving and making simple decisions, always a plus when you're still slightly drowsy.

Limiting an occasional meal to one or two eggs and three pieces of turkey bacon can be the solution to maintaining good blood cholesterol levels. The

Contrary to popular opinion, a homestyle breakfast with eggs doesn't have to be obliterated from the breakfast menu.

foods with which these favorites are typically served such as hash browns, cheese grits, or biscuits with gravy are often far

more problematic than the eggs themselves, which serve as an excellent source of protein and Vitamin A. Go light on the salt and fry eggs with nonstick spray rather than oil, and pair with toast and fruit instead.

Whole grains are the ideal breakfast, a key component in the diets of "naturally" slender people. Wheat or bran based cereals were voted the best breakfast food for the prevention of diabetes by the American Dietetic Association's panel of dietitians due to their bolstered fiber content, which also serves for colon and gastrointestinal health. Oatmeal and similar hot cereals available in microwaveable or instant single servings may be just what

you need on a chilly Autumn morning. Don't have time to sit down with actual silverware? Grab an English muffin and spread on peanut butter with jam before heading for your commute.

Low-fat granola bars are also a decent source of dietary fiber entirely more convenient than hauling around a brownbag breakfast.

Even if food doesn't look good to you in the morning, try drinking some juice and packing a midmorning snack. A little yogurt with apple slices, a prepared shake, or a cheese stick will stay with you until lunchtime and just might keep you from reaching for those 10 a.m. Krispy Kremes.

Economics prof, Oklahoman honored

by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

A UCO economics professor won a first place award last April for a series of articles published in The Oklahoman over the past year.

Dr. Susan Sasser published 26 articles that were awarded first place for "best original in paper content for Newspapers in Education or literacy over 150,000 circulation," from the Southern Newspaper Publisher Association.

"This was a huge project, and the award was really confirmation that we are doing the right thing," Sasser said. This is

the first time The Oklahoman received the same award in this category.

Sasser said she was approached last year by Chase Bank officials, who asked if she was interested in partnering with them and writing educational articles for The Oklahoman.

She said, as a sponsor, Chase bank purchased ad space in The Oklahoman for the articles.

"We really appreciate the support of Chase, and without them this all wouldn't be possible," Sasser said.

Rope course opened, safety top concern Assistant director of recreation discusses ups and downs of campus obstacle course

OKLAHOMA CITY—The Base Closure and Realignment Commission decided Wednesday to move air defense artillery units at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, to Fort Sill in Lawton, a move that could bring significant economic benefits to Oklahoma.

Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and whose district includes Tinker Air Force Base and Fort Sill, has said such a move could bring more military and private sector jobs to the Lawton area as well as millions of dollars in construction activity.

Towering 35 feet above the ground on the southeast side of the UCO campus stands the UCO Ropes Course, which opened for students Aug. 1.

The ropes course is operated by the UCO wellness center as part of their "UCORE" program that focuses on learning through outdoor activities.

Building team unity and helping students overcome physical obstacles is the goal of the UCO ropes course.

"It really helps students see

they can accomplish any obstacle," said Fred Fieth, assistant director of recreation services.

"Most students are just happy when they get through."

The ropes course has been under construction since January.

Fieth said the high elements were completed first and the low elements are still under construction.

"The high elements were constructed with large telephone poles that are a 55 feet tall and are planted in the ground eight feet deep," Fieth said.

At such heights, Fieth said safety is always a concern.

"Records are taken at the end of the day, but recently safety factors have played a role in the course," Fieth said. He said harnesses are routinely checked for security and other procedures are in place to ensure the participants' safety.

The course is rented to outside groups and organizations interested in building teamwork and leadership skills in a recreational environment. To participate you must have a minimum of 10 people, and the course takes several hours to complete.

"Several groups have taken the UCO ropes course chal-

lenge - members of the UCO Baptist Collegiate Ministry, a UCO leadership group and even Edmond Memorial High School," Fieth said.

Construction for the ropes course was approximately $60,000 and was funded through the UCO Wellness Center budget. UCO is currently the only university in Oklahoma with a stationed ropes course on the immediate campus facility.

WEEK: Concerts, contests and speakers welcome students back and focus on success in college from page 1 inform people and make freshmen upbeat and positive," said Kristin Jones, nursing junior.

"It's also a chance for them to meet students."

Jones, along with about 70 other returning students, were paid a $50 stipend to act as orientation team leaders for the Week.

Spirit Coordinator Brooke Wilson said the OTLs were hired to provide direction to new students, be energized, make connections with the freshmen and set up, facilitate and tear down events. Wilson said the $40 each freshman paid for registration covered the cost of food for the events throLighout the week, a folder of helpful materials and a t-shirt.

Emily Oven-ocker, assistant director of new student and leadership programs, said about 1,000 freshman were herded into the ballroom of the Nigh University Center Aug. 19 to listen to different speakers and presentations.

Students laughed as they were introduced to plagiarism through a short comedy skit performed by UCO graduate Lisa Lasky and OU graduate Peter Young.

Lasky said the school bought the royalty rights for $25 just to show that credit must be given when using someone else's words.

"We need to teach lessons about academic integrity," Lasky said.

Stacy McNeilarid, director of Alumni Relations, entertained students with an upbeat speech on UCO traditions.

"If you do one thing in the fall, go to Homecoming," McNeiland said. "This has been a tradition that has been going on since people wore long skirts and bloomers."

McNeiland stressed to students the importance of joining clubs and making traditions of their own.

The morning's activities ended with a speech by Ethan Zohn, winner of Survivor 3: Africa.

Later that afternoon students were sent on the Amazing Broncho Challenge, a scavenger hunt, and then ended the

day with an evening of tacos, karaoke and video games.

"I think Stampede week makes it a bit easier," Carissa Agler, from Deer Creek, said.

"You get to see new faces and get familiar with the campus so it's not so hectic the first day."

"It's overwhelming at first, but you get used to it," Stephanie Gonzales, from Purcell, said.

"I like UCO. It's very homey," Juliana Gutierrez, from Hennessey, said. "Everybody's nice. I'm still a little scared but not as much."

"I'm not worried about the people," Daniela Orozco, from Hennessy, said. "I'm worried about the teachers now."

Students had a free day on Aug. 20.

UCOSA

The "Back to School Bash" proved to have a bigger turnout Aug. 21, since it was open to all students. There was free food, a bungee race, boxing and volleyball. The Cutthroat MC's, a rap group, and country singing brothers Cody and Chance Vignal were the entertainment for the evening.

The biggest event was the free concert on Aug. 22 starring "Jars of Clay," with "Raining Jane" as the opening band.

"JOC" lead singer Dan Haseltine said the band has been together for 12 years and has toured colleges from the very beginning.

"We like playing at colleges because the people here are in a pivotal time in their lives where

world views are concerned," guitarist Steve Mason said.

Future activities for the week include the Volunteer Opportunities Fair, Mission Improvable, ROTC Welcome Back Picnic, International Orientation and country line dance.

"We had a great turnout at the events and everyone's been having fun," Overrocker said.

working body, not just a once a week meeting that people come to."

Although the application process for representatives is still going on, Sallee has arranged for the representatives to meet the deans of the colleges they represent.

Sallee said she wants to see the House reach maximum capacity, going from 30 members to the 45 members currently allowed in the constitution and amend the UCOSA constitution to allow 68 seats.

Sallee said the constitutional amendment will have to pass the House and the Senate, followed by an online student body vote.

Woolard said he wants to see UCOSA raise the money needed to paint the water tower near Ayers and Bauman streets on the east side of campus this year, which he said has not been painted since 1987.

Through UCOSA last year, the Freshmen Representative Council was implemented to better serve the freshmen class and a task force was organized

to lobby for the $500 million capital bond issue passed by the state legislature in March.

Similar task forces are written into the UCOSA constitution, said Michael Goodman, student body vice president. He said he hopes to utilize them more this year.

Goodman said a task force organized by UCOSA meets once a month with Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president of Student Affairs.

"The goal is to address issues and then make them known to Dr. Gage," Goodman said.

Goodman said students have voiced their concerns and received solutions about un-tuned pianos in the music building and the waffle machine being out in the cafeteria on the weekends.

"The small details are what a lot of students care about on campus," Goodman said.

'Broken Flowers:' Is that an Oscar in your pocket?

by Kelley Chambers Vista Editor in Chief

Jim Jarmusch, that crazy director with the wild shock of white hair, responsible for such independent film classics as "Stranger than Paradise" and "Dead Man" is back with "Broken Flowers."

In his most mainstream film he has recruited indiefilm poster boy Bill Murray to continue what he started in "Rushmore," and carried through to some of the best films of the last decade, i.e.

"Lost in Translation."

Murray is more "Lost in

Translation" than his Steve Zissou in last year's "The Life Aquatic," in his reserved portrayal of Don Johnston (not "Miami Vice's" Don Johnson), a wealthy, aging lothario.

In the film Murray uses his droopy face to give one expression, which is no expression, and the result is brilliant.

He is joined by Jeffrey Wright, ("Basquiat") as Winston, a devoted family man and wannabe gumshoe next door who is the antithesis of the eternally single Don. Don receives a mysterious letter, unsigned, from an old flame informing him that not

lazy "Dude" from "The Big Lebowski."

Before "Rushmore," Murray would probably have finished his career in the comedies he had been doing since leaving "Saturday Night Live." Instead, he signed on with Wes Anderson in 1998 and that relationship has so far produced three films, which led him to "Lost in Translation," directed by Sofia Coppola, and now his second for Jarmusch.

Murray appeared in Jarmusch's 2003 "Coffee and Cigarettes," a series of unrelated vignettes where Murray, as himself, is moonlighting in an all-night diner.

As far as performance in

only does he have a son, but the boy is en-route to find him.

Winston intervenes and assembles a trip for the reluctant Don that will take him to the door of each woman that could possibly be the mother of a 19-year-old and sends him jetting across the country to investigate his own past.

Left to his own devices it is clear that Don would be content to stay put in front of his big screen television and doze on the couch.

Don doesn't appear to be a ladies man but apparently is. He rather behaves more like a man who would be in good company with the

previous comedies, Murray's by Julie Delpy ("Before actually pot doing that much Sunset") as Don's latest girldifferent. Of course there friend who is leaving him, were some zany stops along though he barely seems to the waY ala "What About care.

The ending may leave Bob," but Murray's gift is some unfulfilled, but this is restraineid comedy.

One hangdog look from not standard Hollywood fare. that doughy, pockmarked face The open-ended finale is in can bring the same laughs as the same vein as Richard any sight gag or potty joke Linklater's 2004 film "Before Sunset" that also featured by any other comedian.

Jarmusch has crafted Delpy.

This just might be a sirnpl tale of one man searching for something he the film that finally earns vaguely pares about, goaded Murray an Oscar after being by a friend who is dying for robbed for his performances some action but content to in Rushmore and Lost in live vicariously though his Translation. friend.

'Romeo and Juliet' comes back in from the rain

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer

Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park made a comeback Aug. 18 after their production of "Romeo and Juliet" was canceled Aug. 12 to 14 because of the weather.

The company performed for the second time Thursday after a week with no practices or performances.

"It's hard to take a few weeks off," Shane McClure, director and adjunct teacher, said. "We kind of had a re-opening."

House Manager JoLynn Lair said the storms the week before destroyed the box office and technical tents. The box office tent had been destroyed in a storm once before at the beginning of the summer during the run of the "Merry Wives of Windsor."

W4' NM .4072.

"My box office tent blew into the art building at four. It probably flew about 30 to 40 feet," Lair said. "We canceled Friday as early as five to keep our actors from having to drive out to Edmond, since some live in Norman and Moore."

Lair said the Friday and Saturday shows were canceled before the performance began, but they decided to attempt the show Sunday night.

"The rain came at 8:30," Lair said. "Fifty-three people were in the audience, and they were given rain checks."

In addition to bad weather, Rich Bailey, who played the Prince of Verona, got a job at the last minute in Los Angeles, leaving McClure only a week to find a replacement. Wil Rogers, music theatre arts senior, who originally played the Chief Watchman, took over the role.

"It was crazy. It was fun

though," Rogers said. "It was kind of improvisation with the reactions and mannerisms. It gave the illusion of natural life because it wasn't rehearsed."

Rogers said it was a big distraction thinking about his lines, but he only messed up once.

"In the opening prologue I repeated a line, but it gave me time to remember," Rogers said. "It looked like it was just emphasized."

Jimmy Pike, theatre arts sopohmore, was called in by McClure to fill in for Rogers as the Chief Watchman.

"I came in fresh. They called me last Saturday and I had six days," Pike said. "I learned the lines and blocking backstage during Act One for the scene right after Tybalt is killed."

Dr. Robert McGill, Theatre, Dance and Media Arts Chair, said more students than usual had parts in the OSP perfor-

mance.

"I think it complements both programs, both UCO and OSP," McGill said. "It's a nice marriage."

Daniel Gilbert, theatre arts senior, played Romeo and Susan Riley, theatre arts major, played Juliet.

"I actually played the role of Juliet before I played Romeo in "Shakespeare's R and J," Gilbert said.

Gilbert said despite a break in rehearsals and performances he wasn't nervous about the performance.

"I was prepared. You only really get nervous if you haven't done your homework and you're not prepared," Gilbert said. "As an actor, it's part of your job to review your script."

Gilbert said his favorite part of the show was the stage fights.

"I love stage fighting,"

Gilbert said. "There are only a handful cff Shakespeare's plays that you get to fight in."

McClure taught and choreographed Ale sword fights. He said he ii5s studied and taught stage combat for 15 years.

"I first teach a basic combat class to te actors to see their abilities, and then choreograph accordingly," McClure said.

"Daniel had worked with me a couple d times before."

In order to teach combat fighting for the stage, McClure attended two workshops in Oklahoma City and a three-week workshop in Las Vegas hosted by the Society of American Fight Directors. He has choreographed for shows like Othello, Macbeth, and Julius Ceaser. McClure also teaches combat fighting classes for UCO. The show successfully brought in an audience of 127 and will continue to run every weekend at 8 p.m. until Sept. 4.

will attempt to set the NCAA Division II single game attendance record from page 12 for soccer. The game will begin at 6 p.m. and fans are encouraged to "bring a chair, break a record."

The current attendance record was set at the Washburn-Missouri Southern game Sept. 10, 2004 in Topeka, Kan. The record stands at 1,848 fans, a record Cook believes can be easily bested by UCO soccer fans.

"It's just a great chance for us to add to UCO," Cook said. "It will bring excitement to the game, add improvement to an already great school. Edmond is a big soccer town and there are no football games in the state [Saturday], so it's a great opportunity to support UCO soccer and help us set a record," Cook said.

On the national scene, defending national champion Metropolitan State University of Denver tops

the national pre-season poll. UCO is scheduled to meet the Roadrunners Sept. 2 in Denver.

The Bronchos are the only LSC team in the national rankings, and they have two other teams on their schedule ranked in the top 15 nationally.

UCO opens the season at home against No. 4 Nebraska-Omaha and takes on No. 11 Regis Sept.

4 in Denver.

"We are just hoping we can cope," Cook said.

"Playing good teams make us better. It's a good test for us, so at end of the year we can come out prepared," Cook said.

"Our goal is to get better, play hard, not get intimidated, win the conference and play in the conference championship."

Herrion played only in the final minutes of

the 26-21 loss to Denver. He was on the field for San Francisco's 14-play, 91-yard drive shortly before the fmal whistle.

"He reminded me of myself in college - just a raw talent, eager to learn," Jennings said. "He was really coming into his own. He just had one of the best drives of his life, right before his life was taken."

Women golfers interested in joining the two-time defending Lone Star Conference champion UCO golf team will soon have the opportunity to try out for the team at Kickingbird Golf Course.

This will be the first open tryout held by UCO head women's golf coach Patty Coatney. Tryouts will be held at Kickingbird, though an official date has not been set.

"We had a lot of players not return, so we might have room for one extra player," Coatney said.

"I thought there might be someone attending UCO that might be qualified to play on the team."

"Dax [Johnston, UCO head men's golf coach] held an open tryout one time and had a good turnout, and came out with some good golfers," Coatney said.

"So hopefully I can get the same results."

Coatney said women interested in walking on for the Bronchos must have an established USGA handicap of 12 or less.

Senior All-American Ashley Kelley and sophomore LSC champion Emily Kirk are the only players returning from last year's conference-champion squad. The 2004 Bronchos captured three tournament titles and finished runner-up in four other tournaments.

Everyone in the organization is expected to attend a private memorial service Tuesday night in nearby Mountain View - but the team also must move forward in the relentless NFL preseason.

The 49ers host the Tennessee Titans on Friday night in their third exhibition game.

Herrion's funeral will be held Saturday in his native Fort Worth, Texas, with NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, coach Mike Nolan and team owners John York and Denise DeBartolo York expected to attend.

"It's a time that we have to be reflective," Tagliabue told reporters in Massachusetts. "(The NFL must) try to sort out what happened and try to carry on in a way that is sensible, but takes into account a tragedy. ... At this point, we don't have any answers."

The 49ers will wear a black decal with Herrion's No. 72 on the back of their helmets this season, and Herrion's locker near the door to the practice fields will remain unchanged.

Bring a chair, Break a record

IMO ranked no. 23 nationally

by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer

The UCO soccer team will begin the 2005 season with soaring expectations. The Bronchos are ranked no.1 in the Lone Star Conference pre-season poll and no. 23 in the nation, according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Adidas NCAA Division II pre-season poll.

But UCO head soccer coach Mike Cook says his team doesn't pay much attention to pre-season rankings.

"Rankings really don't matter right now," Cook said. "We just downplay them and know that all that matters is where we are at the end of the year."

The Bronchos will begin their season Aug. 26 in the Carl's Jr. Classic at Thompson Field, just south of Wantland Stadium on the UCO campus. The Bronchos open against the no. 4-ranked University of NebraskaOmaha at 4 p.m.

"I'm just looking for my team to come out and play hard. We really can't be prepared mentally and physically until we play a real game," Cook said. "I just want my team to come out - play tough, compete, battle and win."

All UCO students are urged to come out to Thompson Field Saturday, Aug. 27 to support the nationallyranked UCO soccer team. The game will begin at 6 p.m.

The Bronchos will attempt to break the NCAA Division II single-game attendance record for soccer.

"There's no reason we shouldn't be able to break this record," head coach Mike Cook said.

"With the soccer fans we have at this school and in this town, this record is well within our reach."

49ers regroup after death of teammate III Team returns to practice, but shows little enthusiasm for football

by Greg Beacham AP Sports Writer

AP

San Francisco 49er offensive lineman Thomas Herrion collapsed in the locker room and died Saturday. Authorities are still unsure of the cause of death.

Less than 48 hours after their teammate collapsed and died, the San Francisco 49ers gathered together, discussed their grief and somehow went back to work.

The team held a light afternoon practice Monday after several hours of meetings and mourning for Thomas Herrion, the popular offensive lineman who died Saturday night after a preseason game in Denver.

Judging by the subdued atmosphere at their training

AP

With heads hung low, the San Francisco 49ers returned to practice Monday, less than 48 hours after teammate Thomas Herrion collapsed and died following a pre-season game with the Denver Broncos.

complex, Herrion still was on the players' minds four days before their next preseason game.

"It was a waste for me," left tackle Jonas Jennings said of the hour-long workout. "Mentally, I wasn't there.

But you've got to be a professional. You've got to do what's expected of you."

Authorities might not know the cause of Herrion's death for weeks, but no answer will seem logical to his teammates. His fellow offensive linemen got another sobering reminder of their profession's risks and the physical extremes required to play it well, though no link has been established between Herrion's weight - well over 300 pounds - and his death.

"It's something you don't like to think about every day," center Jeremy Newberry said.

"I think the life expectancy for offensive linemen isn't great, but it's part of your job. ... (A player could) try to play at 200 pounds, but that isn't going to happen.

"I've always been big, since I was 9 or 10. I guess I'll pay more attention to blood pressure issues."

There were flower arrangements in the complex's lobby, and grief counselors were available to the players when they arrived at work. The 49ers, who had a regular day off Sunday, canceled their Monday morning practice and closed their locker room to reporters.

Team physician Barry Bryant briefed the players on what they saw in the locker room in Denver, where Herrion collapsed shortly after the team recited the Lord's Prayer. The team chaplain and a crisis expert also addressed the players, who still were clearly shaken

by Herrion's death.

"I knew it wasn't good when it happened," said guard Justin Smiley, who was kneeling next to Herrion. "It's
