UCO updates home page with help of alumnus and company

Sculpture to reflect work of Liberal Arts

A UCO business administration graduate recently collaborated with UCO to create a new home page, for the university's Web site.

David Ahlgren, founder and president of Wave Media Technologies Inc., began his company as a UCO freshman in 2001 by taking out a small business administration loan.

Ahlgren said the company is the largest Web media provider in Oklahoma.

"I began this company after I realized that the market companies that were hiring consultants were getting ripped off left

This fall, a 16-foot metal sculpture will be placed on the east lawn of the Liberal Arts Building.

The artwork is called "Flight," and depicts a stack of books breaking their steel bonds. It was designed by UCO professor Christopher Domanski to reflect the College of Liberal Arts motto, "Freedom Through Knowledge."

Domanski said he got the idea by thinking of things that represent knowledge. He chose the flying books with the hope that it would convey the message, "You will fly farther with

Students at Central Plaza view historic photos that trace the history of the university. The photos were gathered by the chair and assistant chair of the Design Department and hung Aug. 15. The photos are from the Archives in the Max Chambers Library.

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer

Dr. Larry Heftier, chair of the Department of Design, and Assistant Chair Melinda Lyons touched up old photographs taken from the library archives and hung them in the lobby of Central Plaza Aug. 15.

Lyons said she was asked

by Director of Housing Josh Overrocker to choose, touch up and mount a series of past photographs of the school in the new residence hall.

Hefner said Lyons asked him to help because he has worked on prints taken from the archives before, including a

series of prints of Old North.

It took the two a month to sort through and pick the photographs that they felt best suited the project.

Hefner said three large photographs depict the first libraries, which were in Old North, Evans Hall and the Communications Building.

"We tried to pick photographs that had more to do with student and campus life," Hefner said.

"I think it's interesting to look at the use of the buildings then and the use of them now."

Hefner said the objective was to describe the history of UCO. "I think one of the things we haven't explored as much

as we can at UCO is our history and heritage," Hefner said.

"Everyone knows the history of OU and OSU. We've been around longer than they have."

Lyons said there will also be a panoramic view of certain buildings, including Communications, Business and Liberal Arts, hung behind the lobby desk that were recently taken and designed by Hefner.

"It's kind of a now and then thing," Lyons said. "We want to make a connection with the old and new. We hope it helps the students with a sense of belonging and understanding the history of UCO." David Kinney, psychol-

ogy sophomore and sixth floor Central Plaza RA, said he likes the photographs because they illustrate how much the campus has grown. _ "They really show how far we've come ," Kinney said.

"I don't think they could have chosen any better." " I love them (the photographs)," said Molly Smith, art education senior and RA of West Hall. "I think it's combining the old UCO with a new building."

Women taught to 'fight back' by self-defense expert, advocate

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer

Erin Weed, a speaker on women's selfdefense, taught about 60 women how to defend themselves at the "Girls Fight Back" seminar on Aug. 24 in Constitution Hall.

Weed started "Erin Weed & Associates" after her friend Shannon McNamara, an Alpha Phi sorority sister, was murdered in 2001 after a man broke into her apartment.

Weed said her way of dealing with the murder was to learn how to "kick butt."

She trained with professionals from across the nation, including members of the Navy Seals and the New York Police Department. Weed said she now uses this training to teach self-defense to college women.

Weed partners with Campuspeak Inc., a company that provides colleges with speakers on different issues.

"Campuspeak is the number one speaker's bureau," Weed said. "They refer my name to colleges."

Weed said describing her friend's murder over and over to college students is the most difficult part of her job.

"I tell the story because the number one problem with violence is that we're not talking about it," Weed said. "I'm not standing up here because it's my job. I'm here because it's my mission."

Weed said intuition is the best survival tool a woman has. She also said humans are the only creatures that dismiss intuition.

"Animals live in the moment. They trust their intuition," Weed said. "A deer would never ignore a warning by its instincts."

Weed said if a woman is attacked she shouldn't continue to dwell on it.

"Deer don't go home to their thicket and curl up after being chased by a mountain lion and say "I need to call my deer therapist in the morning"," Weed said. "They get over it and move on."

night and off-campus parties.

"People always told me whatever you do, don't walk alone at night," Weed said.

"This is impossible. My advice is be a bad victim."

Weed said a woman should stand tall and continue to pan her surroundings with her eyes. She said a set of car keys can be used to scratch an attacker and possibly draw blood. This way, if an attacker gets away, they've left behind DNA. Weed said a woman should arrive at and leave a party with her girlfriends. If a woman feels drunk after only one beer, she's probably been slipped something and should immediately get her friends to take her home.

Weed had the students stand up and learn simple selfdefense moves. She placed green dots on various parts of a male volunteer to show the vulnerable areas of his anatomy. Students were then taught specific techniques to use on different body parts.

STAFF EDITORIAL:

Cartoon by Roy Arthur

Oklahoman, where's the love?

Sports preview offers no mention of Bronchos, schedule or stadium One question for The Oklahoman: Where is its coverage of UCO football?

The paper brought out its 48- page 2005 college football preview Sunday Aug. 28 and there is no mention of the Broncho's at all. A teaser on the sports page features coverage of OU, OSU and fantasy football. Fantasy football?

The Oklahoman must be kidding. Sure, fantasy football is nice, but UCO actually exists, so where's the love?

To add insult to injury, several members of the Oklahoman sports depart-

ment are UCO graduates, including the sports editor. There is absolutely no reason not to include UCO in their coverage.

What stings even more is an article in the preview about Tulsa and several about OU's opponents that aren't even in Oklahoma.

The only mention of the Broncho's game on Aug. 25 was a brief story on Pg. 3C carrying the byline "From Staff Reports," which translates to mean `rewritten press release.' ,

Everyone knows that UCO isn't as big or mighty as OU or OSU, and people don't commit suicide if the Broncho's lose, but we are at least a large state school with a new stadium. And to pour even more salt in the wound, The Oklahoman actually devoted space to high school team coverage in the section, and gave UCO a miss.

Maybe it's the perception that UCO is still that little commuter school in Edmond, and therefore the Oklahoman

doesn't need to acknowledge its existence.

What do we have to do to be recognized as a legitimate institution with a sports program that warrants as much attention as high school programs? It's bad enough that the Oklahoma State Board of Regents routinely awards OU and OSU proportionately more funding than UCO each year, but do we have to be overlooked by the local media, too?

Maybe if the Broncho football team

performs to their expectations this year, we can get a little coverage. Even if it's buried on the back page with the elementary school hopscotch tournament results, we'll take' it. 'It'll be better than being treated as less important than a fantasy.

THE TOSS-UP

Is the separation of church and state argument still relevant?

Toni Kennard chapter chair UCO College Republican

Tre Ronne member of UCO Democratic Sod' lists

y does the separation debate rage so intensely among learned people?

The First Amendment clauses are clear: No state religion and No restraint on free exercise. The issue is not ambiguity in the clauses.

Rather, conflict arises for several reasons. First, it is incredibly difficult to define what constitutes Establishment, and the Supreme Court has judged largely on a case-by-case basis in light of intent and function, not on a blanket "exclusionary" principle as charged by theocrats.

The second source of conflict arises, as in many constitutional questions, from competing legitimate rights. So, ensuring

I' WORD

disestablishment to protect the free exercise of some religions may require restraining one aggressive religious movement from freely exercising itself to the point of establishing itself.

There may be other sources of Establishment conflict, but those above alone should show that conflict is inevitable and that the Supreme Court, as the final institution with authority to resolve competing constitutional claims, must inevitably get involved, no matter how much critics of "activism" hate it.

Furthermore, as Hershorin argues (and this is an extraconstitutional argument for Separation), laws reflect the values of a society and must evolve as societal values

evolve; rigid laws may deny progress of human rights, as State-Established Wahhabism keep the social norms in Saudi Arabia locked in the eighth century (think punitive dismemberment). But because laws based on religion cannot change without challenging the 'correctness' of religious laws and therefore the revelatory higher power, changing those laws calls into question the authority of that higher power.

Imagine, however, if we still relied upon Deuteronomic laws such as Deut. 21:10-14, which told Israelites how to lawfully enslave a female war captive, simply because it is divine law.

eparation of Church and State is a myth!

I find it extremely discomforting to know that that the majority of our society is so misinformed on this issue, that we have become so focused on being politically correct and so sensitive to the very mention of God that we would take such a timeless phrase completely out of context.

Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution dose it say the words "Separation ofChurch and State." The phrase was coined

by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 in a letter he wrote to the Danbury Baptist Association, a religious minority in Connecticut.

The group was concerned that their religious liberties weren't being seen as "rights,"

S

but rather "favors," granted by the legislators. Jefferson was writing to reassure them of the "wall of separation between the Church and the. State."

Meaning the churches do in fact have certain rights the government cannot interfere with.

His words were taken over the years and shortened into the Establishment Clauses we refer to today: "Separation of Church and State." People refer to the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment when actually it's in a letter, not anywhere in the Constitution!

Our society today has become so concerned with stepping on toes that we are even willing to strip our country of its own heritage. Most of our founding fathers were Christians.

Like it or not. They wrote documents referring to God. They built building with scripture engraved on them. And they prayed for our country.

That is our history. That is how this nation was formed.

We wouldn't dream of going into the Middle East and tearing down all of their beautiful temples and destroying their artifacts. That is their heritage.

Well, this is ours!

When we say we are "proud to be Americans," we should be proud where we came from.

When you try to take Church, religion, spirituality, what ever you wish to call it out of our society, our State, you hurting our heritage, our individuality, and you're killing our culture!

ON THE STREET: PARKING ON CAMPUS IS DIFFICULT AND STUDENTS WHO DON'T ARRIVE EARLY MUST OFTEN CIRCLE THE LOTS WAITING FOR A SPOT TO OPEN UP.

Have you had trouble finding a parking spot? What is the farthest away you had to park since school started?

"Yes, I have had trouble finding a spot. Once I had to park on Chowning across from the football field."

"Yes, I have. I got the very last spot one time in the Liberal Arts parking lot. I wish they would make more parking."

"I actually this morning could not find a spot, so I parked across the street in a neighborhood in front of a house."

woman could use her best asset, her rear end, to "booty butt" an attacker who is assaulting from behind.

"There's nothing more dangerous than a pissed off woman," Weed said.

Weed also showed how she uses everyday items in her purse as weapons. The bristles of a hairbrush can be raked across a face and a high heel can be used to beat a head.

Two resident assistants from West Hall, Robin Moehle, elementary education senior, and Elizabeth Paschka, forensic science junior, recruited women from their hall to go to Weed's program.

"I came to (to Weed's seminar) my freshman year in 2003 and I felt like I could kick-butt anywhere after I left," Moehle said.

Moehle said she and Paschka recruited about 30 women to attend by word of mouth and posting fliers.

Business grad wins bid to redesign home page

from page 1 and right," Ahlgren said. "Our purpose is to provide businesses with a quality product at a good price and helping companies achieve Web design."

Ahlgren said the company has seven full time designers, one of which is a UCO graduate.

Recently, Ahlgren's company worked with UCO to reprogram the home page and make sure it was compatible with all ranges of systems. This became available online a week before school began.

Dr. Cynthia Rolfe, vice president for Information Technology said the Web site had not been updated in about three or four years.

"So far we have primarily changed the design and navigation of the home page," Rolfe said. "This project will take about three years to complete."

She said the department interviewed many students to see what they wanted. The design team also surfed the Web for other university Web sites and non-university sites to ensure that the new Web site was updated and fresh.

Ahlgren said that his company was not given priority over other companies just because he was a UCO graduate.

"Our connection is we are a prominent Web design company in Oklahoma and we won the bid," Ahlgren said. "We only had a week turnaround to complete this programming that would normally have taken about a month."

Ahlgren said his company has received positive feedback from students and the university.

"Its always a plus to have a good front page," said Tiffany Elam, theatre performance senior. "The old one was not as flashy with its picture of Old North. It's good to have pictures of students who go here (on the Web site) with their quotes about how they like UCO." "It's pretty easy on the eye," said Matt Charnay, theatre performance junior. "The last home page took me forever to find UCONNECT and Broncho Central, this one is much easier."

Ahlgren's company has also completed projects for the Presidential Leadership Council, Army ROTC, UCOSA and housing.

Along with consulting local companies Wave Media Technologies has also worked with worldwide clients such as IBM, Target and Nextel.

A major project Ahlgren's company is working on right now is partnering with Target in an effort to provide an online interactive classroom with universities in China.

Ahlgren said that hopefully

by January his company will have their program up and running in two universities.

He said his company has also worked with the federal government on two projects.

"If it wasn't for some of the mentoring at UCO I wouldn't have been able to do government contracting," Ahlgren said.

During large projects, Ahlgren said his company often takes on UCO students. He says one of their focuses in the future is to provide a place where students can come for internships, since entering into media and design is one of the more difficult markets to get into.

Ahlgren said the future goal for Wave Media Technologies is to have a Web design super center in every major city by 2012. He plans to continue to help UCO with the development of the Web site and other projects.

New Orleans may face toxic contamination if water levels rise from hurricane NEW ORLEANS—As Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on Monday, experts said it could turn one of America's most charming cities into a vast cesspool tainted with toxic chemicals, human waste and even coffins released by floodwaters from the city's legendary cemeteries. Experts have warned for years that the levees and pumps that usually keep New Orleans dry have no chance against a direct hit by a Category 5 storm.

Katrina may drive up oil prices Crude oil futures briefly surged above $70 a barrel for the first time as Hurricane Katrina barreled Monday toward the heart of U.S. oil and refinery operations in the Gulf of Mexico, shutting down an estimated 1 million barrels of refining capacity.

The Category 4 storm advanced on an area crucial to the U.S. energy infrastructure _ offshore oil and gas production, import terminals, pipeline networks and numerous refining operations in the southern states of Louisiana and Mississippi. After slamming ashore, it advanced toward low-lying New Orleans with winds of 145 miles per hour and the threat of an extremely dangerous storm surge.

Light motion sensors installed around campus to cut down on energy costs

by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer Motion sensors were installed in light switches throughout the campus over the summer to cut down on electricity costs.

You have to be brave to pay for 'The Cave'

by Michael Robertson Vista Copy Chief

"The Cave" is a silly film, the latest in the current trendy string of horror/suspense films.

If you like silly films, this one's for you. However, if you're the least bit claustrophobic, you might want to stay away. True to its title, "The Cave" is mostly set in a cave, and caves are apparently very small, cramped spaces. The camera angles are extremely tight, sometimes to the point where it's almost impossible to tell what's going on. On top of that, it seems that the filmmakers have developed a new technique that might be called "Shakey Cam" that further disorients the viewer. The effect of this visual strategy is a sort of a queasy nauseous headache combo, with a dash of itchy skin thrown in for good measure.

The premise of the film is

simple, although implausible. Deep in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, there is a small, ancient chapel. In this chapel there is an entrance to a huge cave system filled with subterranean rivers. There are ominous mosaics in the ancient chapel that should clue explorers that they might not want to go into the cave, but you know those scientific types, they never listen.

Enter our heroes. The head scientist calls in a crack team of daredevil cave divers to do the Buchanan (Morris Chestnut) wonders if maybe law school or dirty work. They are the even alligator wrestling might not have been a better career kind of people that swill choice in "The Cave." beer and say that caves are "rockin'" and "totally movie is actually very sophis- nity to do some creative things sick." Naturally, they go into ticated and technically impres- with the shots, like shooting the cave thinking it's going to sive, even if the script itself the characters from odd angles be a cakewalk when, of course, seems like it was written by a to give meaning to the twisted, it's really going to be an exer- talented tenth-grader. Most of meandering shape of the envicise in being picked off one by the cave is underwater, giving ronment. On several occasions, one. the photographers an opportu- the divers squeeze through The photography in the

extremely small crevices to get into other caves, making it seem like only a matter of time before someone gets stuck. Most of the action and attack scenes, especially at the beginning, are almost pressed up against the subject's faces, creating a visual analog to their sense of panic and limited range of motion.

The Suspension of Disbelief meter is off the charts in this movie.

Without ruining it completely, let's just say that first of all, animals don't mutate that way. Secondly, wings are generally not good for both air and water.

By design, it doesn't work.

That being said, the monsters are actually pretty cool-looking (when they're actually visible) and at 97 minutes, the plot doesn't drag much. Still, it's a formula action/horror/suspense movie, so there really aren't too many surprises.

"The Cave" is entertaining enough, but it suffers from a severe imbalance of script and visual cunning, which seems to be a common problem with a lot of movies these days, a la "The Hulk," "Independence Day" and "Predator vs. Alien." It's sad that with seemingly legions of talented computer graphics designers hanging around the streets of Hollywood, there are only a few writers that can actually construct a coherent plot and believable, three-dimensional characters to go with the effects. It can be done, proven by the "Spiderman" and "Lord of the Rings" films, among others, though they're rare.

All things considered, "The Cave" could be much worse, but at seven or eight dollars a ticket, enter at your own risk.

Tahlequah band moves up with fresh, eclectic style

University of Central Oklahoma

STUDENT HEALTH iimi ADVISORY

_AICOMMITTEE where the pieces fit...

If anybody has the right to say they're not held down by a single musical genre, it is Tahlequah-based band Up from Under.

Their above-par first CD, Love &Do, features a delightfully eclectic style that works both for and against the prizewinning local band. With the exception of the consistent vocals of UCO junior English major Luke Rountree and OCU student Will Stucky, each song on the 12-track album could be from a different band. Its mix tape feel provides something for everyone, but may be worrisome to one who tries to pinpoint their style.

Part Seattle, part Southern in sound, Up from Under, (which draws their name from a song

by The Wallflowers) echoes R.E.M. and Weezer with a little Maroon 5 thrown in, but it never feels like a rip-off.

In addition to Rountree (vocals and guitars), the band features Arlis Moon (percussion and drums) and Stucky (vocals, guitars, piano, mandolin, and bass) and an almost endless list of additional musicians and others lending group vocals, claps, and presence, interweaving violin, cello, and other instruments into their already extensive catalogue.

The album gets stronger with each track, starting off in alltoo-familiar acoustic rock territory before evolving into nearly everything else under the rock

umbrella and beyond. Love & Do maintains a '90s alternative feel when possible before reaching its penultimate, tenminute track "Slaving Away," possibly the most catchy and memorable song of the bunch.

In 2004, the trio competed against several other local bands at "Up Your Mic Night" at the UCO Jazz Lab to win second prize to Tulsa favorite The Effects.

More than just a decent local band, Up from Under is a refreshing endeavor in a scene dominated by John Mayer cover bands and Dave Matthews clones, with much potential and plenty of time to achieve it.

College football 2005: Big XII preview

By JAIME ARON AP Sports Writer Regardless of their standings in the poll, Oklahoma has to be considered the team to beat in the Big 12 until Texas proves otherwise.

And this might be the year coach Mack Brown's Longhorns finally do it.

They certainly have all the components _ an offense led by junior Vince Young, the most exciting running quarterback since Michael Vick; a veteranfilled defense run by the coordinator who oversaw Auburn's perfect season last year and a Sooners squad that appears a notch below the ones that played in the last two national championship games.

"We're excited that people are excited about this team," Brown said, adding that his players go into the season brimming with confidence along with a No. 2 ranking, their best in the preseason since 1970.

"They're not afraid to hear as a team they're supposed to be good. That's a little different.

Some teams can't handle that.

This one knows what it takes."

Still, No. 7 Oklahoma has beaten its Red River rival five straight years by a combined 189-54. Last year, OU handed Texas its first shutout since 1980 and Sooners fans would love nothing more than celebrating the 100th edition of the rivalry with another victory.

"It doesn't really matter to me whether we are picked favorites or not," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "You know, we have been in both situations and we found our way in other years to championships, and other years where we have been picked favorites and not been."

But if the Longhorns can beat their nemesis, more rewards could await. Brown could win the first conference title of his 22-year coaching career and perhaps bring the first national championship to Austin since 1969. He might even win over the casual fans who feel he talked his way into the Bowl Championship Series last season.

Then again, beating OU is only one of several challenges facing Texas.

The Longhorns have an early game at No. 6 Ohio State, plus post-Oklahoma games against two other in-state foes on the rise _ No. 17 Texas A&M and No. 21 Texas Tech.

They also must replace running back Cedric Benson and linebacker Derrick Johnson, both among the top 15 picks in the NFL draft. And the reason Texas hired Gene Chizik from Auburn was to replace

two defensive coaches who left to become head coaches elsewhere.

Having Young under center makes anything seem possible, at least to anyone who saw him in the Rose Bowl. He ran for four touchdowns that had to be replayed in slow motion to be believed, threw for another and set up the kick that beat Michigan as time expired. His goal ever since has been getting back to Pasadena, the site of this season's final game.

Whoever wins the South will be a huge favorite over the North winner in the conference championship game in Houston on Dec. 3.

The North was the standard bearer when the league began 10 years ago, but Nebraska and Kansas State aren't what they used to be and neither is the division. Colorado and Iowa State tied for the best record last season at 4-4; that would've tied for fifth in the South.

Things are so out of whack between the divisions that there's been talk of getting rid of the structure and letting the two best teams slug it out in the title game.

That debate has quieted and it's just as well for conference commissioner Kevin Weiberg.

He has plenty of other things to worry about as head of the BCS. A capsule look at the teams in their predicted order of finish:

Freshman Lacy Williams scored her first collegiate goal in the 80th minute off a feed from senior Meleia Bacon to break the 2-2 tie and seal the game.

UCO stumbles in opener

■ Sluggish start, costly turnovers plague Bronchos as they begin the season 0-1

■ Broncho volleyball standout Katie Schult looks to continue the dominance she displayed as a freshman

by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer

Dominant, explosive and consistent are all words that describe sophomore volleyball sensation Katie Schult.

Schult was freshman of the year in the 2004 season, carrying the Bronchos to success with a booming 445 kills.

The Bronchos had a 21-9 season in 2004 and were runner up in the Lone Star Conference North.

Schult was named LSC pre-season player of the year for 2005.

UCO head Volleyball Coach Jeff Boyland could only describe Schult with one word, "dominant".

KATIE SCHULT

"Katie plays a position that demands consistency and vigor," Boyland said.

"She is constantly hitting the ball,. she is very consistent and she never backs down, she is rock solid. She is a force at the net and she does not make too many errors."

Schult, a native of Fort Collins, Colorado, said choosing a school wasn't easy.

"Deciding where I was going to go to school was the toughest decision I have ever made," Schult said. "It was difficult to choose where I would get the best education, where I could play and love the team, players, and coaches. I loved [UCO] when I came on my visit. The girls on the team took me in and made me feel welcomed. Our coach is also a big reason I choose to come here because he was friendly and he knew the game."

Schult, nicknamed "The Enforcer" by her teammates, ranked second in the LSC in 2004 with 4.4 kills per game and averaged 15.1 per match. Schutt had 10 plus kills in 25 of UCO's 30 matches and had seven outings with 20-plus kills.

Against Missouri Western University in 2004 Schult set a season high with a 26 kill performance. "I guess I didn't really know that I had that many kills," Schult said.

But I can tell when I am feeling really confident. When I ani feeling that way, I have no fear, I just play all out with emotion and passion."

Schult has played volleyball since eighth grade and is now 'entering her seventh year of volleyball.

Photo Services "My dad has always told me never to do something unless you have a passion for it," Schult said. "Why waste your Sophomore netter Katie Schult stretches out for a kill in a 2004 game. Schult was named LSC pre-season player of the year for 2005. see SCHULT, page 11

The nationally-ranked UCO football team was defeated 26-7

by Missouri Western University Aug. 25 at Pratt Stadium in St. Joseph, Mo. The Bronchos could not withstand the all-around barrage of the Griffons as they scored on offense, defense and special teams.

The Bronchos' offense started slow in the first half, only gaining 34 total yards.

Turnovers plagued the Bronchos as well.

The Griffons scored early with a 35-yard field goal after driving the ball 65 yards in an 11-play drive. Griffon running back Jeremiah White scored the first touchdown, running into the end zone from three yards out.

The score was 10-0 with 19 seconds left before halftime when Griffon quarterback Michael Burton connected with wide receiver Jarret Brooks for an eighteen yard touchdown.

Broncho defenders appeared to have Brooks contained at the 10 yard line after making the catch. But Brooks shook one tackle, blasted two more Broncho defenders and scampered into the end-zone.

The Bronchos headed to the locker room at halftime with

No pain, no gain

E

very now and then you see or hear something that causes you to sigh, scratch your head and ponder the age-old question: What has the world come to?

I read recently that Rod Moore, the head baseball coach at my alma mater, Edmond Memorial High School, was fired. It seemed odd because Moore led the Bulldogs to the state tournament last season and was named The Oklahoman's Big All-City coach of the year for 2005. According to reports, he was fired because of his "questionable" treatment of players.

Let me say first that I have no intimate knowledge of this situation. It has been quite a while since I attended Memorial, I don't know Moore, and I don't know any of the players. I only know what I've read in the paper and seen on television.

But from everything I've seen, it seems the majority of Moore's players are in his corner. In a special meeting of the

by Harry Gatewood III

by Matt Cauthron Vista Sports Editor

school board to review the firing, the room was filled with "I support Coach Moore" tshirts and many players spoke in Moore's defense.

Moore's most vocal detractor, as near as I can tell, has been Vicki Garrett, whose son Jason played for Moore. "[Moore isn't] a very truthful person," Garrett told The Oklahoman's Andrew Gilman.

"I can choose to believe what my child says or what Coach Moore says. My son is an honest person. He says Coach Moore said in front of all the kids that he didn't know the game."

And this brings me back to my original question: Just what has the world come to? Is she

■ The parents who ran Edmond baseball coach Rod Moore out of town should consider the lessons their children may now be missing serious? I hate to sound like my grandfather, but in my day, enduring verbal abuse from a coach was part of playing sports. And if that's the worst Moore said, it hardly qualifies as abuse.

I've seen coaches threaten their players with bodily harm.

I've been told I was the most worthless, no-talent bum on the field. And Moore got fired because he told some kid he didn't know the game?

This is just another case of over-coddling by parents. It's as if this vocal minority is trying to bring a home-school sensibility to organized athletics.

Home school may be able to teach you reading, writing and

`rithmetic, but it can't teach you the hard and fast lessons of life, the perplexing ins and outs of socialization. The only way to learn these is to get out into the thick of the world.

The academic is but one aspect of the education one receives in school. Likewise, teamwork 4 a strong work ethic are b one aspect of the education one receives on the playing field. By trying to remove the difficult or the humiliating from these endeavors, parents believe they're protecting their children. What they're really doing is depriving their children of experiences that will mold their character and teach them a thing or two

the scoreboard showing a dismal 17-0 deficit.

UCO returned from halftime with a six play, 59-yard drive to start the third quarter.

It was capped by a one-yard touchdown run by newcomer Seymour Shaw, who rushed for 87 yards in a game.

The Griffons connected on a 34 yard field goal after the UCO touchdown to make the score 20-7. The Griffons then attempted to run the ball, run out the clock, and escape with the victory.

Bernard Moore blocked a MWSU field goal try with 8:16 left in regulation and the Broncho offense made it all the way down to the MWSU 34 yard line. But Shaw fumbled a handoff and defensive back Greg Carbin of the Griffons and darted 66 yards for a touchdown that ultimately sealed the game.

UCO was ranked number 21 in the 2005 D2Football.com Top 25 National poll, which will be released today.
