IT seeks students for task force ■ UCO in planning stages of establishing a wireless network on campus by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer The Information Technology Department at UCO is seeking students to participate in a planning and adviser task force. This task force would help keep the IT department current with what students would like the university network to offer. UCO is in the planning stages of adding wireless capabilities to the universities' network, said Cynthia Rolfe, vice president for IT. Wireless technology would allow users with laptop computers and personal digital assistants to access the university network and the Internet. "We don't want to just add the latest technology. We want to add technology students actually use," Rolfe said. Kassie Long, an early childhood education senior, said she thinks a stu-

Phi Eta Sigma, a strictly male freshmen honor society at UCO, inducted 32 students this year, but the organization's sponsor said, because of a lack of interest by members, money has gone unused. Dr. Robert Epstein, the organization's sponsor, said joining Phi Eta Sigma can enhance students' resumes, which is the primary reason they join. Incoming students who maintain at least a 3.5 GPA during their freshmen year are eligible to enter. .

Indifference plagues UCO honor society by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer

political science major Craig Fleck, whose vote for best band went to A Better Tomorrow. Buffy and Kevin, from UCO's radio show "Naked in the Morning," hosted the event. Contest judges Jason "Crazy J" Kretchmar of Crazy J Records in Edmond, Michael Ross of okcrocks.com and Sean Ridenour of Vox Magazine critiqued the bands on sound, originality, presentation and professionalism.

In the past, people inducted into the honor society have used their higher academic skills to help others by tutoring, according to Epstein. However, for the past three years, society members have shown no interest in doing this. It appears members no longer want to get involved in helping the community, despite Epstein's motivational efforts, he said. The honor society is "like several honor societies, but some may be more active," said Epstein. This society's members' lack of interest left the organization with unused money.

Epstein decided to place the money in an endowment fund that provides for the Herbert S. Dordick Outstanding Mentor Award. The winner of the award is selected from UCO student nominations. Students are asked to write essays about why they feel their UCO mentor is most deserving of the award, and one winner is selected. Dr. Jeffrey Plaks, associate professor of history and geography, was awarded Aug. 17 at the annual faculty and staff meeting. Epstein established this award in 1999 in honor of his mentor, Herbert S.

Dordick a professor at the University of Southern California, who died in 1998. Currently, more than 100 Phi Eta Sigma members are enrolled at UCO with about 650 past inductees. People from the foundation will either call or send letters to the qualified students. Students then fill out an application along with a $30 fee. 'All get accepted that apply," Epstein said. Alpha Lambda Delta is the UCO female freshmen honor society. To become members students, must meet the same qualifications.

MOVIE REVIEW

Zach Braff's Promising Debut What "The Graduate" was to a generation coming of age in the corporatizing, socially simmering climate of the 1960s, Zach Braff's "Garden State" is to twentysomethings grappling with life and young adulthood in the pharmacologically fueled days of a new millennium. Written, directed and starring Braff, and set to a pitch-perfect pop score featuring music by the Shinns, Nick Drake and "Graduate" veterans Simon and Garfunkel, "Garden State" features a dream cast of performers, including Ian Holm and Natalie Portman, with cameos by Ron Leibman, George C. Wolfe and Jean Smart. "Garden State" begins as Braff's alter ego, Andrew Largeman, a fledgling L.A. actor, is summoned home to New Jersey because his mother has died. The film follows him over the next few days, from the gravesite burial to the moments leading up to his impending flight back to Los Angeles. But if Andrew's days at home are filled with the average twentysomething stuff — the weirdness of grief rituals, hanging out with family and friends, driving the hometown streets, more hanging out with friends, making an important new friend and even falling in love — there is nothing at all average about Braff's cinematic storytelling. From the get-go, Braff sets a tone for his film that veers from tragic to hilarious to serious. One moment Braff's Andrew is dealing with a psychiatrist father (Holm) who has kept him dulled on Lithium and antidepressants for more than a decade in the aftermath of a family tragedy. The next moment Andrew is getting stoned with friends, popping Ecstasy and playing spin-thebottle, and then he is sitting in a doctor's waiting room, where a blind woman's dog begins humping his leg. BrafFs aim, eventually put into words by Sam, seems to be to gather up all the stuff of life and get it all in — the parts that suck, the parts that make you laugh and the parts so fine, they make you want to cry. The marvelous thing is how well he succeeds. The young writer has a terrific eye and ear for life's absurdities, from the funeral singer who belts out "Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady" with a thick Jersey accent to the high school friend who made a fortune by inventing "silent Velcro" and now lives in a mansion with a

pool to another high school chum who became a cop and is eager to sound intimidating. Some of the film's funniest bits are dialogue-less, cleverly edited visual gags — a shot that reveals the degree of Andrew's distraction with the proof of a gas station mishap, a shot of Andrew in a shirt made specially by his Aunt Sylvia (Jackie Hoffman), a shot of the contents of Andrew's medicine cabinet. But beneath all the goofball stuff are weightier and more tender issues involving Andrew's family history, his relationship with his father, and the relief of finding and falling in love with someone who makes you feel, as Andrew says, "calm." Lanky Braff with his intense, sensitive and sometimes deadpan gaze is a revelation as the Candidian innocent who watches life as it unfolds around him and gradually, by rejecting the medications provided by his father, reconnects himself to his feelings, those he buried after a childhood accident in which he caused injury to his mother. Portman gives one of her best performances ever as the smart, over-wound Sam, the young woman who listens to the Shinns on her headset, lives with her mother in a house full of hamster cages, sometimes wears a soft helmet on her head, and is inclined to run on at the mouth. In the role of Andrew's father Gideon, Holm manages, in only a few minutes of screen time, to convey the world of a physician and a bewildered, estranged parent whose only son caused an accident that forever changed the course of their family life. Peter Sarsgaard is appropriately scruffy and wasted as Andrew's stoner friend Mark, a guy who works as a grave digger, steals jewelry from corpses, and collects things like the Iraq war deck of cards for investment purposes. The ace casting continues in cameo roles, with Leibman memorable as a neurologist who attempts to solve Andrew's problem with headaches and Wolfe as a clock-watching L.A. restaurant manager. Braff is a rare and exciting talent whose fertile "Garden State" graduates him to the leading edge of his generation's filmmakers.

STAFF EDITORIAL

UCO should get moving with needed technology In this day and age, students not only consider academics and atmosphere when choosing a college. Technology is an important determining factor. Every year, the technology at UCO surpasses that of the previous year. Students are quickly finding out that their floppy disks are of little use in some buildings on campus. But how does UCO compare to other campuses in terms of technology?

It doesn't. Aside from sitting outside of Murdaugh Hall, students with laptops and PDAs often have difficulty finding a wireless Internet connection on campus. Sure, that hinders the efforts of those certain students who choose to set up their laptops during class with the sole purpose of downloading "Girls Gone Wild" clips or hitting the online social circuit on Friendster.-com.

But most students could actually use such wireless technology for school purposes — to follow along in an online syllabus or study online between classes. With the technology fees students pay every semester, a campus-wide wireless network should not be a pipedream of the future. UCO students should have the same access to the Internet as students at other Oklahoma universities.

THE BODY POLITICK

Are these really our choices? With every article I read and every sound byte my ears capture, I am further led to one conclusion. My vote should go to John Kerry. Sure, I get a little anxious when people start discussing how comfortable they are with compromising civil liberties. I am not a fan of library JOSEPH WERTZ records COLUMNIST being examined, and I find President Bush's disdain for open communication with the press and public frightening. But that's not why I feel like my vote should go to the Kerry/Edwards ticket. I would really just like something new to hear about.

I don't think I can take another four years of heated debate in which people just argue over basic ideology. There are issues that need to be examined, and I'm growing weary of President Bush being one of them. I just want to take him out of the discussion so we can move on to tackle the long list of issues that we as Americans must come to terms with. I don't think we can move on with Bush in office. Many Americans just can't debate issues without debating Bush's legitimacy. We as a nation can't even come to a consensus if we elected him or not. It's hard to have a decent national debate in public forum over real issues if we can't even agree definitively if he is our elected representative. I am not all that impressed with John Kerry, and I get the impression he doesn't have much to say. But not being George Bush might be the only platform he has to stand on. John Kerry is an alternative, and even if he wins in a landslide victory, it could take me a while to be convinced that he is a winner.

by Lacy Pack Staff Writer President W. Roger Webb opened his "Lessons in Leadership" course to all faculty and students this semester. The lecture series, normally open only to members of the President's Leadership Council, is at 9 a.m. Mondays in Constitution Hall. The one-credit course features discussions, theories and concepts of leadership from Oklahoma business and political leaders. "I felt that it was time that UCO bring leadership into the forefront and make it central to the lives of all students," Webb said. Webb said the class will not transform students into leaders overnight, but he said he hopes to teach students to think like leaders and about leadership. He also said he encourages faculty to discuss leadership situations in the classroom. "We don't do enough, I believe, in preparing students to become leaders after graduation," Webb said. He said he has spoken with employers who hire UCO students, and the employers said UCO graduates need more self confidence, better communication skills and more responsibility. Speakers in the lecture series include Attorney General Drew Edmondson, Sonic CEO Cliff Hudson, Eateries CEO Vince Orza, U.S. Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange, Mercy Health Center CEO Mike Packnett, University of Oklahoma Athletic Director Joe Castiglione, Lt. Gov. Mary Fallin, Lasso Corporation CEO Linda Lambert, Joe Anna Hibler of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges and Judge Robert Henry of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Each presentation will be followed by a question and answer period. Webb said he hopes to offer more leadership classes in the future. For more information, contact Renee Larochelle at 974-2626.

Government to re-outfit military personnel ■ UCO ROTC to see new uniforms by October of next year; current uniforms to become obsolete nationwide by 2007 by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer The U.S. Army is in the process of outfitting its soldiers with a new, all-purpose uniform. This will mean an update for ROTC students at UCO in the next year and a half. "Everyone wants a change; they think we need a change," said UCO Military Science Chairman, Lt. Col. Stuart Jolly. "This uniform is appropriate for both jungle and desert environments." Jolly, who has been at UCO for one-year, said his students should be outfitted in the new attire by October 2005, at the earliest. Soldiers in combat will be the first to receive the new uniforms and should be outfitted by April of next year, Jolly said. An article on the Army Web site quoted Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Myhre, one of the designers, as saying: "There are 20 changes made to the uniform, to

include removing the color black and adapting the digital print from the Marine Corps uni"This uniform is form to meet the needs of the Army." appropriate for The Army also both jungle and reported that 10,000 of the uniforms have . desert environbeen field tested on ments." soldiers in Iraq. — LT. COL. STUART JOLLY Practicality was Military Science Chair the main reason for the redesign, along with the convenience of having just one uniform to maintain, according to the Army Web site. "There's no need to starch them." Jolly said. "Just wash them, dry them and put them on." Uniforms will be provided to students by the Army, however they must be returned upon completion of ROTC, unless the student becomes a

commissioned officer. "If they get commissioned they get to keep them," he said. Upon delivery of the uniforms to UCO, ROTC students will wear them to most of their classes, labs and field training exercises, Jolly said. Jolly said one major benefit of the new uniform is that patches will be affixed with Velcro, rather than being sewn on. The ability to easily remove and replace patches will save military personnel a great deal of money. "It costs $2.50 to get one patch sewn on," Jolly said. And on a uniform that often requires more than 20 patches, the cost to individuals can reach upwards of $50 or more. Jolly said he likes the idea of having one, allpurpose uniform. "Everyone was in the mindset of having two uniforms for the desert and jungle," he said, "so I never considered having one uniform for both environments."

Another element of the uniform that will be noticeably missing, is the shiny black boots. They will be replaced with a sandy brown desert boot. The way the Army went about designing the uniform was through a contest, where ideas were voted upon. Jolly said that the final version is a combination of several different ideas, incorporating the best of each. For purposes of uniformity, Jolly said he and his staff will update their uniforms at the same time the students do. Motioning to his current camouflage BDU (battle dress uniform), Jolly said, "By October 2007, we can't wear the old ones at all." Jolly said the update will not be a major task, and the only change he feels is not as welcome among he and his colleagues, is the replacement of buttons with zippers. "We prefer the buttons to zippers," he said.

Committee awards faculty members by UCO News Bureau

UCO faculty Dr. Wei Chen and Dr. Kevin Hayes were recently named as "gold award" winners as the university named a number of its faculty for merit-credit awards, ranging from $1,100 to $400, to be used for teaching, service, or scholarly/creative activities. Chen and Hayes, of the UCO Department of Physics and Engineering and Department of English, respectively, each were awarded $1,100 as "gold award" recipients. The awards are to be used in a way that furthers a professor's professional activities and are not salary supplements for personal use. Hayes said he will use his merit-credit money to help fund research toward completing his latest book. "Currently I am reconstructing the library of Behjarnin -Franklin," he said.-'`Dtspitettre

length of this new book, 1,300 pages, I am under some pressure to complete it soon so it can be published in time for the Franklin Tercentenary in 2006." "I will be using my Gold Faculty MeritCredit Award to help finance a research trip to Philadelphia, where I will do research at the Library Company of Philadelphia and the American Philosophical Society," he said. Chen said he is grateful for the support he continues to receive from the UCO College of Mathematics and Science, its Department of Physics and Engineering and the university's Joe Jackson College of Graduate Studies and Research for their continued support in his activities in laser cancer treatment and his other related areas of research. "My research has also been strongly supported by many students working in my research laboratory," he said. "I plan to use the $1,100 award money to purchase some needed equipment and supplies for my research and to attend professional conferences."

Each fall, the UCO Faculty Merit-Credit Committee encourages faculty members to apply for the merit-credit awards. The faculty's achievements throughout their past two years in either teaching, service or scholarly/creative activities are then reviewed. The program is the result of a 1994 Faculty Senate proposal to then-President George Nigh, who raised the money to fund it from the university's President's Partners program. The committee overseeing the awards is comprised of three representatives from each of UCO's five undergraduate colleges and includes a member of its faculty senate. This year, the committee funded 22 of 29 requests and allotted $12,400 to recipients. "As a group, the applications were very strong and competitive, and showed that some truly outstanding work is being done by the faculty at UCO," said Dr. Patricia LaGrow, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs.

Staff Writer For theIrt time, the UCO Wellness Center will host the did annual "Festival ';of Hope" from 8 a.m. to 5 fin. Sept. 10.

The festival is free to the public and will have exhibits, short presentations and demonstrations throughout the day. "I think the taboo on mental health is changing," said Jan Chapel, UCO's Counseling Center coordinator.

She said many students take advantage of the Counseling Center. The UCO Student Counseling Center will conduct free depression screenings the day of the festival as well. "Last October, the UCO Counseling Center screened 40-45 students for depression," Chapel said. "This is the first year the Festival of Hope has been on UCO's campus, so there is the potential to screen more." Chapel said, historically, more women seek help than men, generally because women are more accepting. She said UCO students' attitudes are becoming more accepting toward counseling. "We go to a lot of classes and try to get across to the students that we see clients for all kinds of reasons, not just mental illness," Chapel "I think the taboo said. "Maybe they on mental health are harboring a lot of stress or they just is changing." need a pick-me-up. Sometimes it just helps to talk to somebody." - JAN CHAPEL Misha Mowdy, Coordinator, UCO a registered nurse Counseling Center and BACCHUS adviser, said BACCHUS will showcase Fatal Vision goggles at the Alcohol 101 display. "The goggles simulate what an intoxicated person's vision would be like," Mowdy said. "While wearing the goggles, one is supposed to walk through a cone-marked path without tripping on any cones." Mowdy said she hopes to have the Fatal Reaction Helmet there as well. The helmet's microphone system distorts the speech and audio reception of the helmet wearer. This experience simulates how communication is different when one is intoxicated, she said. Timed with the National Suicide Prevention week, Oklahoma is ninth in the U.S. for death by suicide. The festival will focus on the three dimensions of health: physical, mental and spiritual. Coinciding with the Festival of Hope will be an all-day lecture series by Bill O'Hanlon inside the Wellness Center. O'Hanlon has been on Oprah

and the Today Show. The therapist and author will speak on practical methods for renewing the body, mind and spirit. Twenty-five outside venders and at least 16 UCO organizations will be there. Some of the UCO organizations are the Moroccan and Japanese Student Associations, the Student Health Center, Kaleidoscope Dancers Company, UCO Counseling Center, Student Dietetics Association, BACCHUS, Department of Funeral Service and Education and the UCO Fencing Lecture Schedule Club.

Staff Writer OK, it's the first week of school and you have to turn in a paper on Chaucer, explain the molecular make-up of something or another and find out who invented Spam lunch meat. Where do you go? According to a finding by the Electronic Publishing Initiative at Columbia University, which recently appeared in The New York Times, a three-year study concluded that students, particularly undergraduates used the Internet as their primary research tool. Kyra Young, a freshman early childhood education major said that for a research assignment she would first visit the professors Web site, then one of the online search engines on her home computer before ever setting foot in a library. When asked why, Young answered, "It's in my room; the library isn't." With many students able to access the Internet without leaving home, more and more are doing research without ever scouring the stacks at the local library "I would probably search online first. because it's easiest," said business management sophomore Kory Osborn. "I've got it right there. Then I might go to the library and read something about it." A report issued by the U.S. State Department, and conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project concluded that 86 percent of college students have gone online, and that 85 percent own computers, many of which are used daily to retrieve e-mail. The study also found that computers and the Internet have greatly impacted the way students navigate through their academic careers. "Available Internet access on college campuses is changing the academic experience for today's

NEWS IN BRIEF Scorpian woman strives for world record locked in glass box KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A Malaysian woman who's trying to reclaim a world record by living in a locked glass box with more than 6,000 scorpions has been stung once, is suffering a fever and scarcely sleeps because the creatures keep crawling over her. Nur Malena Hassan, 27, said Wednesday she has a "50/50 chance" of reaching her target of being cooped up with the poisonous arachnids for 36 consecutive days to set a new record for the longest stay in a room full of scorpions.

Royal son charged with aiding plot to overthrow Guinean governement CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Mark Thatcher, the son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, was arrested Wednesday and charged with helping to finance a foiled plot to overthrow the government of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea. Thatcher, a 51-year-old businessman who has lived in South Africa since 2002, was arrested at his Cape Town home shortly after 7 a.m. and taken before the Wynberg Magistrate's Court, where he was charged with violating South Africa's Foreign Military Assistance Act. "We have evidence, credible evidence, and information that he was involved in the attempted coup," police spokesman Sipho Ngwema said before the arraignment. "We refuse that South Africa be a springboard for coups in Africa and elsewhere."

Democrats labeled 'secularist' for reliance on non-religious voters After years of talk about the centrality of conservative Protestants and Catholics in the Republican Party coalition, an opposite factor is gaining wider notice: the Democrats' reliance upon non-religious voters. Seculars have become an increasing portion of the Democratic electoral coalition and especially of the party's activist base," says Geoffrey Layman of the University of Maryland, author of "The Great Divide: Religious and Cultural Conflict in American Party Politics." The trend originated in 1972 and had become obvious to political scientists by 1992, he says. A religiously linked values clash is redefining U.S. politics, according to Louis Bolce and Gerald De Maio of City University of New York. And if Republicans are labeled the party of religious traditionalists, they assert, "the Democrats with equal validity, can be called the secularist party."

Justice Department cracks down on Internet file sharing WASHINGTON — Moving against Internet crime, the Justice Department on Wednesday disrupted a network allegedly used to illegally share copyrighted files and was engaged in a series of arrests against purveyors of e-mail "spam." In the copyright case, search warrants were executed by the FBI in Texas, New York and Wisconsin targeted at computer servers that allowed users to illegally share music, movies, software and games. The case marks the first federal criminal copyright action taken against a peer-topeer, or P2P, network in which users can access files directly from the hard drives of fellow users' computers. The search warrants targeted the operators of the networks, rather than the users, and criminal charges are likely in the near future, according to the FBI. An FBI affidavit filed in support of one search warrant said that agents used covert computers to infiltrate and obtain copy-

righted material from a series of P2P hubs connected to the "Underground Network," including copies of new movies made from legitimate advance screeners' copies. The network, according to the affidavit, has about 7,000 members. Attorney General John Ashcroft scheduled a news conference later in the day to discuss details of the copyright case. The Direct Marketing Association, which has put up $500,000 to help the FBI and Justice Department with the probe, said in a statement that the spam arrests stem from a yearlong investigation intended to engender greater trust and comfort in legitimate e-mail communications." Details of "Operation Slam Spam" were expected to be announced Thursday, according to the marketing group and a federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Justice Department officials declined to comment. The investigation involves more than

100 arrests, search warrants and other enforcement actions, such as subpoenas. Many of the cases involve "phishing," which are e-mails that appear to be from financial institutions and other legitimate businesses but are actually fraudulent. They are used to induce people to provide credit card numbers and other personal information. Other cases in the crackdown involve pornography and use of spam, or unsolicited e-mails, to infect computers with viruses that can obtain personal data or be used be a hacker to further spread the virus. Congress last year passed a law making fraudulent and deceptive e-mail practices a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. Industry groups say spam e-mail accounts for almost three-quarters of the email in the United States and costs consumers and businesses as much as $10 billion a year.

Edwards works to gain black votes CLEVELAND — Vice presidential candidate John Edwards on Wednesday sought to assure black supporters that he and John Kerry have "fought for this community our entire lives" on a day devoted to reaching out to the base in the Democratic stronghold of northeast Ohio. Edwards briefly mentioned the "false, negative attacks" by a veterans' group assailing Kerry's Vietnam war service and again blamed President Bush for being behind the group, a claim the Republican's campaign denies. However, Edwards spent much of the nearly hourlong event at a Cleveland community center talking about jobs, housing assistance, small-business funding, predatory lending and post-incarceration programs, salient issues among blacks.

Later, Edwards was heading east to Warren, a Rust Belt bastion of union faithful hit hard by unemployment. Then he was traveling to Oklahoma City for a fund-raiser. Bush won Ohio by 3.6 percentage points in 2000. With its 20 electoral votes, the state is considered one of the top prizes this year. At the Cleveland event, Edwards accused Bush of not helping troubled young people. "With this administration, they're completely content to spend $50,000 to house a young person in prison for the rest of their lives," Edwards said. Instead, he said, the country should spend $10,000 to help a person get a job after being released. ''How about a little job training? How about a little education for these folks?" he asked.

Edwards said 42 percent of blacks in Ohio don't have health insurance, the high school dropout rate among blacks in the state is 40 percent, and one out of 117 houses are under foreclosure, many because of predatory lending. Referring to the economically prosperous 1990s when Democrats controlled the White House, Edwards said, "We were lifting people out of poverty, not putting millions of people into poverty." Brian Jones, a Bush campaign spokesman, called Edwards' claims "false and baseless." "John Kerry and John Edwards' negativity and pessimism can't change the fact that homeownership is up, the economy is growing and opportunity exists throughout all segments of the population," Jones; said.

NAJAF, Iraq — Iraq's most powerful Shiite cleric returned to the country from Britain on Wednesday and his aides called for a nationwide march to Najaf to end nearly three weeks of fierce fighting between U.S. forces and Shiite militants in this holy city. The announcement came as heavy fighting persisted in Najaf s Old City. U.S. warplanes fired on the neighborhood, helicopters flew overhead and heavy gunfire was heard in the streets, witnesses said. Iraqi police sealed the area, preventing cars from entering, and Najaf's police chief, Maj. Gen. Ghalib al-Jazaq ri, said radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia was on its last legs.

Narrow vote leaves Logan County without funds needed for new jail OKLAHOMA CITY — Voters in Logan County narrowly rejected a bond issue that would've funded a new jail, while Garber residents proved the adage that every vote counts. The 96-year-old Logan County jail, which state Jail Inspector Don Garrison has threatened to close, will have to wait to be replaced, Sheriff Randy Richardson said Tuesday night. Proposition 2, which would have raised the county sales tax by a half cent to fund a new county jail, was narrowly defeated, 2,862, or 49.4 percent, to 2,928, or 50.6 percent.

42 assists and Jenny Anderson led the defense with 35 digs. Junior Kim Morgal paced the Bronze team with a matchhigh 36 kills. Penny Wascovich had eight kills, 20 digs and five service aces, Stephanie Ball set up 46 assists and seven kills. Lacie Allen had seven kills, 23 digs and four aces. "The team is competitive, we owe that to our new strength and conditioning coach, Jared Kaaiohelo," Boyland said. "We come out with a tough schedule. We face six teams that placed in the top 25 beginning with our season opener Aug. 27-28 at the NebraskaKearney Classic," said Boyland.
