Freshman orientation draws record numbers
VP nominee to face Senate ■ April Atkinson accepted her nomination as UCOSA vice president Aug. 30. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer
■ Freshman attribute new friendships to week's events by Lacy Myers Staff Writer More freshmen attended Freshman Orientation this year than in any other past year, said Blake Fry, director of Campus Life. A record-breaking 1,046 freshman attended the event during Stampede Week. The attendance broke the previous record high of 921 and shattered last year's attendance of 839, Fry said. Orientation included addresses from Dr. Don Betz, UCO provost and vice president of Academic Affairs; Dr. Kathryn Gage, vice president for student services; and Stacy McNeiland, executive director of the Office of Alumni Relations. Keynote speaker for the event was Professor Joe Martin, founder and president of Real World University, a resource center designed to help students succeed in school and life. Students were offered "It warmed me sessions about up to meeting personal finance and new people." smart" partying. Other activities included — Liz Honeyman campus tours, a Nursing freshman speech by Ethan Zohn of "Survivor Africa," a barbecue dinner and a casino night. Several students said their favorite part was 'Thyfair," a fast-paced icebreaker full of games requiring students to interact. "I know half of the people in my classes now because of the Playfair,". said Cortney Florence, a forensic science major from Pond Creek. Several freshmen said that orientation helped them meet people and become familiar with the campus. "It warmed me up to meeting new people," said Liz Honeyman, a nursing major from Broken Arrow. One of her biggest fears about attending college was being by herself, she said.
April Atkinson was nominated by the University of Central Oklahoma Student Association to be its new vice president. UCOSA President Lane Perry made the announcement at a joint session meeting at 1 p.m. Monday, in Constitution Hall. There must be a two-thirds majority vote by the stu-
dent senate to confirm the nomination. "April Atkinson is the most qualified for UCO, and is fully capable of the vice president position," said Dan Ross, speaker of the house. There were eight applications submitted and five applicants were called for interviews. "We were pleased with the turnout, students only had four days to turn in applications," UCOSA President Lane Perry said.
"In the past, the vice presi- April Atkinson is dent was nomi- the vice presinated by the dential nominee president, but I for UCOSA. With wanted to do it a two-thirds vote differently and of the Senate, more diploshe will become matically, vice president. because I wasn't going to be the only one that will work with the new vice president."
April Atkinson is a broadcast journalism senior and was an Orientation Team Leader. Team leaders plan events focused on new students such as Stampede Week. Approximately 60 people attended the joint session meeting.
On a Roll ■ The latest addition to campus is the sushi bar in the Nigh University Food Court. by Emily Rothrock Staff Writer

The University Center Food Court's newest addition is the Southern Tsunami sushi bar, located between the submarines and the hotdogs. Before you scoff at the thought of eating raw fish, know that the Japanese, as a group, are healthier and live longer that any other demographic. Sushi and rice are a staple part of their diet. The sushi bar's first day in operation was Aug. 17. It was a soft opening but when the students came pouring in Aug. 23, the sushi bar's sales exceeded officials' expectations. "Monday we were just shocked at the positive response," said Valerie Wolf, the director of Campus Dining. Wolf is the person who helped get Southern Tsunami on campus. She said faculty, staff and students drove the addition of the Sushi Bar on campus. "With our international student population, we wanted to offer something that they would enjoy," said Amber Taylor, the administrative assistant of Auxiliary Operations.
"The Advanced Fresh Concepts cooperation brought the idea of Southern Tsunami to Chartwells and UCO as an addition to the food court," Wolf said. Southern Tsunami is a trademark of AFC and is based out of California, she said. Chartwells is the company in

charge of all the food on campus, from supplying tator tots for the cafeteria to securing contracts with Chick-fil-a and Pacific Rim. Southern Tsunami is the same company that brings fresh sushi to the Edmond Super Target daily. Many different sushi dishes are made fresh every morning by the sushi bar's chef and placed in the reach-in cooler.

NO SMOKING Within 25 Foot of Entrance Is10.0 fine)
Fraternity to raise supplies for students ■ UCO fraternity Omega Psi Phi will hold a fundraiser to benefit students of local elementary school. by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer

Sarah Lamb, sociology major, places a smoking regulation sign on the Communication building August 26. The regulation requires smokers to be at least 25 feet from the entrance of all buildings or risk a $100 fine.
Smoking policy to be enforced by officials by Vista Staff Campus officials will soon begin enforcing a smoking policy that went into effect last year. The policy prohibits smoking within 25 feet of public entrances to buildings on cam-
pus. The misdemeanor is punishable by a $100 fine, and citations will be issued. Decals were placed on doors at the affected entrances last August and more prominent signs were put up last week.
School is in session and many students have spent their money on books and school supplies. Complaining about money already spent won't improve matters, and there are students who can't afford needed school supplies at all. Omega Psi Phi, a UCO fraternity, decided to slightly ease some financial burden for the schoolchildren at Martin Luther King Elementary in Oklahoma City by showcasing two fund-raising activities. One is a fashion show at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 1 in Constitution Hall. Tickets are $3 with a school supply donation and $5 without. A talent show will be at 7:30 p.m. the next night at Constitution Hall. The cost for entry is $5. "We found a cool way for people to come out and enjoy themselves, and at the same time raise money for school supplies," said Jason Phenix, Omega Psi Phi off-campus advisor. Phenix graduated from UCO with a business management degree. Phenix was there last year when the organization donated $600 worth of supplies for the first tune to Martin Luther King Elementary School. "It was a good feeling, and we got to take pictures with the kids," Phenix said. This year, he said, the organization is hoping to raise enough money to donate school supplies to an additional school, North Highland Math and Science Elementary School.
Omega Psi Phi was founded in 1911 and became the first fraternity founded on a black campus. The fraternity started its first year at UCO in 1998. Members include Bronchos football captain of defense, Anthony Byrd. Phenix said more students are showing up to prospective membership meetings. He said it is clear that interest in the organization is growing. There is no limit to the number of students allowed in the fraternity, but there are requirements. Students must have a 2.5 minimum G.P.A. and be of sophomore standing. Though, not required community service experience is a plus and something the organization looks for. Members include recognizable names, such as Langston Hughes, Jesse Jackson and Steve Harvey. Through the organization, Phenix said, "I learned more about African American history and was able to network with people who shared my same goals, like community service." Another scholarship given by the organization is for $250 in books to two UCO students. Asia Thompson and. Kathryn Tishner were this year's winners and the only people who applied for the scholarship. The winners were required to write a onepage essay, be of at least sophomore standing and involved in community service projects. Thompson and Tishner will be presented with certificates at the fashion show. Phenix said Mary Eriven of the Financial Aid

Quote of the day Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. — George Bernard Shaw
Today in History On this day in 1870, Maria Montessori was born. Montessori was the first female of doctor of medicine in Italy and the first woman to attend medical school. She developed the unique educational method known as the Montessori method, for which Montessori schools were named.
MOVIE REVIEW By Andrew Nuth Rocky Mountain Collegian (Colorado State U.) raining to watch someone who had such amazing skills than something that obviously comes from a computer. Many of the fight scenes in "Hero" look more like interpretive dance than battle. Some of them are downright funny. Every battle scene featured at least one of three things: Flying, ignoring gravity or excessive spinning. All of them featured an impressive amount of slow motion. Maybe that's why the movie seems so long. There is a large amount of symbolism mixed into the movie, but it will be lost on most viewers because most viewers won't care. In the movie's previews, Quentin Tarantino's name is flashed in the trailer, but he didn't write or direct the movie, leaving his fans feeling deprived. Don't expect a plot as complex as a Tarantino movie, any of the witty dialogue or even the hilariously artificial fight scenes. Tarantino's only involvement in the film was as a producer. "Hero" is a stereotypical modem martial arts movie. The actors fight, but the computers make it look cool. It does answer one of the age-old martial arts movie questions: How many dancing ninjas does it take to fend off and army of archers? The answer? Two. If you want something more than a martial arts movie, "Hero" probably isn't for you. If you enjoy computer-generated fight scenes, then this is your movie.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (UWIRE) — Unfortunately, the flying ninjas and the over-the-top, computer-generated fight scenes did not come to an end with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Zhang Yimou's "Hero" proudly carries the tradition over. "Hero" is the simple story of Jet Li's character, Nameless (sonamed because his parents died before they gave him a name) and his adventures as he plans to assassinate the King of Qin, played by Chen Dao Ming. We know that Li's family was killed by the Qin army and that he is seeking revenge against the king. The movie begins with Li being escorted into the palace and hailed as a hero for killing assassins who had been trying to kill the king. From this point onward the plot could not be any simpler. Li and Ming talk about how Li killed the assassins and whether he actually did it. This dialogue is interspersed with flashbacks of Li's story and Ming's interpretation of it. As far as a martial arts movie is concerned, this plot is complex, it has more than one twist and does keep you wondering. Still, many parts of it seem like an excuse to show more fight scenes. Fight scenes are entertaining in general, but what happened to people like Bruce Lee? He actually did everything that was in the movie. It was much more enter-

New York City protests exemplify democracy
T
he protests at the Republican National Convention in New York City this week are a testament to the democracy upon which this country was built. Regardless of partisan ideology, the differences at these demonstrations should be celebrated, not denounced. Protests are paramount to a democracy, especially at a time when the nation could be facing another neck-andneck presidential election. In the midst of such. an intense campaign season, demonstrations like these are what will tip the scales Nov. 2. Truth and falsehood should be able to grapple in an open marketplace. The Constitution allows American
citizens to discuss, weigh out and determine what truth is. Our society depends on this fact. , The Associated Press reported Aug. 29 that more than 100,000 people gathered for that day's march past Madison Square Garden. Some reports Monday said as many as 400,000 people may have turned out. Like him or hate him, protests against President Bush are as American as it can, get. Especially when the political beliefs of today's youth are so lukewarm, it is reassuring to know that some people care enough to take the effort to organize.

Another reason is Barnes & Noble. Bookstores have slowly taken the place of libraries in the department of leisure book browsing. Namely because people don't like being shushed, but also because Starbucks has become just as important, if not more so, than having actual books. I have yet to see a vending machine, let alone a Starbucks, inside a library. My advice to future libraries, for what it's worth, is to add in cocktail lounges next to the e-card catalogs, and make thee library card an accepted form of payment. I believe this would loosen Barnes & Noble's and Border's grip on the market. At any rate, I am now the proud owner of a Metropolitan Library System library card. We'll see how long it takes to wash this one into oblivion. The new downtown library is a hip
replaces Barnes & Noble in my eyes. The library is no longer just about books. It's about free Internet access and the means to print information from Web sites wantonly. Yeah — screw Kinko's. It's about checking out music CD's and movies, and the moment I saw that, I knew I was in trouble. Huge fines and librarians with battle-axes banging on my door alongside the landlord — both wanting money that doesn't exist. I resolved to be a better checker-outer and return my selections on or before their due dates as I made the sign of the cross over my chest at the thought of rabid librarians and bill-collectors. At New Year's, I also resolved to start working out, but that worked about as well as communism. So we'll see how this goes. In the end, the Metro Library may have to clear a space for my name

The architectural style of the Metropolitan Library dresses it up, making it look like Lenny Kravitz standing next to Bob Dole, as the blocky — but dignified nonetheless — courthouse sits across the street. Walls of windows and lush lounge areas flank rows and rows of prestigious, outdated, award winning, new-agey, poetic, logical and timeless books, stacked side by side like cereal boxes in a grocery store. Cap'n Crunch, Count Chocula and Cocoa Crispies; Kafka, Kierkegaard and Danielle Steele. Some breakfasts are healthier than others. Indeed, this new zoo of books

The only thing I see that would make this place not just great, but grand, is, as I mentioned earlier, a full-service cocktail lounge with as many different bottles from around the world as there are books. It's the next step in urban entertainment, replacing the bass-driven meat markets in Bricktown. If I were an investor, I'd invest in it. But there will be no tequila in the BAR-brary. There's no sense in running the risk of some yahoo getting tanked up on a bad bottle of tequila and running amok over in the fiction section, toppling over shelves of books. The risk is too great.

by Kenneth Reinbold Staff Writer The UCO ROTC recently introduced a program designed to reward nurses who join the military. Any nurse wanting to join the Army can join the ROTC program and become eligible for the GPA program. The UCO Army Nursing Corps offers scholarships and programs for students interested in becoming nurses in the Army. "The Army is short on nurses and hopefully this will be an incentive for more quality nurses to join," said Captain and recruiting officer Mike Loseack. The program has two phases, both with cash rewards for completion. The first phase is based upon the students coming into their junior year and having passed standard ROTC physical tests along with their cumulative GPA and can reward up to $5,000. The second phase depends upon the student graduating and passing the National Counsel of State Board of Nursing Exam for Registered Nurses or NCLEXRN, attaining the commission of the second lieutenant and being active duty in the military, earning the student $7,500. After becoming an Army Nurse Corps Lieutenant, the Army offers postgraduate courses including Critical Care Nursing, Emergency Nursing Course and a Community Health Nursing course. For more information about becoming a nurse in the ROTC program, contact Mike Loseack at 974-5166.

"We might do an `American Idol' show."
Students also credit the university with an overall warmness. "Every other university I have visited, the people will walk by you with their heads down, but here, they come up to you and introduce themselves," Honeyman said. According to Beverly Prosser, administrative assistant in Student Services, studies show that forming relationships
is why students remain in college. "The earlier that you make a friend on campus, the earlier you begin a connection that forms your relationship to UCO," she said.

CAMPUS EVENTS
Professor named head of state financial literacy organization by Lacy Myers Staff Writer Economics professor Dr. Sue Lynn Sasser was inaugurated in June as president of the newly formed Oklahoma Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy. The coalition is a national group that promotes the teaching of financial literacy concepts to young adults and students K12. In Oklahoma, however, the focus is on all ages and the national coalition is considering the change, too. The Oklahoma association will serve as an umbrella organization where groups with similar interests and goals can come together to promote financial education, Sasser said. The Oklahoma coalition's mission is to "educate and empower youth and adults with the information and resources necessary to make informed financial decisions." One top priority in reaching this goal is supporting legislation that would require high school students to complete financial literacy training before graduation. Sen. Daisy Lawler, D-Comanche, introduced a bill earlier this year that would have required 10 class periods of financial literacy training for high school students. The bill was rejected. Sasser and the Education Committee of OJC hope to
work with Lawler to help reshape and reintroduce the bill. "There is nothing shameful about being in financial trouble. It just means that we have never been taught," said Sasser, who hopes legislation and financial education programs will help raise the awareness level. "Recently, Oklahoma is consistently ranking in the top five in the U.S. in bankruptcy per capita and top 10 in credit card debt per capita," said Sasser. "If we are slaves to debt, we are only focused on ourselves and not focused on others or the growth of our state," she added. Sasser, a native of Lawton, has been an economics professor at UCO for 3 years and is director of the UCO Center for Economic Education. She is also president of the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education, a not-for-profit organization that provides teachers will free workshops and instructional materials to incorporate economic and personal finance education into the classroom. Sasser holds a bachelors degree in journalism, a masters in professional services from UCO and a PhD in consumer economics from Texas Women's University. For more information about the Oklahoma Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, contact Sasser at 974-5343.

FBI briefs, interviews high-ranking Defense, State officials in spy probe WASHINGTON - High-ranking officials at the Pentagon and State Department have been interviewed or briefed by FBI agents investigating a Defense Department analyst suspected of passing to Israel classified Bush administration materials on Iran. Among those briefed by the FBI was Douglas J. Feith, the Pentagon undersecretary for policy who is a superior of the analyst under investigation, said government officials familiar with the sessions. The officials spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the probe is ongoing.
Nine hospitalized after exposure to acid CLAREMONT, Olda. — Sulfuric acid spilled from a tank at a plant in Rogers County Monday, and nine people who were exposed to the chemical were taken to a hospital as a precaution, officials said. They were not critically injured, said officials at Claremore Regional Hospital. The spill occurred at the Valmont's Oklahoma Galvanizing plant off State Highway 266 near the Port of Catoosa shortly after 9 a.m. It was contained on the plant site. Plant manager Pete Smith said there was no risk to the environment or to the plant's neighbors. Wildlife officials hope deadly plant doesn't spread to other state lakes.
Bush tempers expectations on terror war WASHINGTON — President Bush says staying the course in the war on terror will make the world safer for future generations, though he acknowledges an all-out victory against terrorism may not be possible.

Jumping to cure breast cancer SHIOCTON, Wis. — Mart McClone had an up-and-down day over the weekend, but for a good reason. McClone jumped out of an airplane 100 times in 12 hours Saurday to help raise an estimated $14,000 for breast cancer survivors. That works out to $1,400 per jump for the Madison-based Breast Cancer Recovery Foundation — and one jump every seven minutes. If those numbers make your head spin, picture the 26-year-old skydiver leaping from an altitude of 2,500, touching down, then spending less than a minute on the ground before getting back into another plane. The 10 parachutes he used were repacked in a nearby hangar by fellow skydiving friends from across the country and even England. "The people here are keeping me energized and motivated," McClone said during a 10-minute break.

Bronchos manhandle Mavericks, again by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor With an 28-point outburst in the first half, the Central Oklahoma football team got their season off to a outstanding start with a 35-14 win over Mesa State (Colo.) at Stocker Stadium in Grand Junction, Colo. on Aug. 28. It was the Bronchos secondstraight season-opening win over the Mavericks. UCO opened the Chuck Langston-era with a 4216 spanking of Mesa in 2003. The Bronchos burst out of the blocks, scoring on four of their first five possessions. After the opening kickoff, UCO forced Mesa to go threeand-out on the opening possession of the contest. The Bronchos immediately drove the ball down the field on the Mavericks, capping an 11play, 60-yard drive with a 33yard touchdown pass from James Smith to Cedric Jones giving UCO the 7-0 lead. On the first play of the Mavericks ensuing drive, Uriah Matthew forced and recovered a fumble by Mesa RB Charles Dukes at the MSU 24. After a key third down catch by Jared Meers, UCO pounded the football at the Mavericks finishing off the drive with a 2-yard Darnell Sims touchdown run resulting in a 14-0 Broncho advantage. The Mavericks rallied in the early second quarter cutting the Broncho lead to 14-7 after a 1yard Jeff Mowry run. UCO responded to the Mesa score on their next drive. Smith hit Brandon Verrett for 41 yards down to the Mesa 33. After a fourth-down conversion on a 2yard run by Smith, Jarrod Manoy finalized the drive with a 4-yard run, giving UCO a 21-7 lead. The Central D forced another Mesa three-and-out and Allgood hit Edwards from 37 yards out
the give UCO a 28-7 lead that would never be threatened. Both teams added another touchdown to complete the scoring as the Bronchos grabbed the 35-14 road victory. The Broncho coaching staff had their squad well prepared for the road test, as UCO was stellar on both sides of the football, amassing 418 offensive yards while holding the Mavericks to only 225. The Bronchos' balanced offensive attack was in full display as they rushed for 195 yards and passed for 223. Broncho Quarterbacks James Smith and Justin Allgood were outstanding, combining for 223 yards on 17-of-25 pass attempts and 2 touchdowns. Receivers Zach Edwards and Cedric Jones were the main targets with 7 catches for 99 yards and 5 catches for 56 yards respectively. Both had touchdown receptions in the first half The Broncho defense was superb, holding Dukes to 12 carries for 34 yards and forcing him to fumble twice. Junior DB Fred Shaw starred in his debut in a Broncho uniform, recording 12 tackles including six unassisted. The 6-2, 217-pound Shawnee native forced one fumble and recovered another to earn LSC defensive player of the week honors. Central dominated the timeof-possession, controlling the football for 36:41 of the ballgame compared to 23:19 for MSU. The Bronchos ground attack was a main contributor to their ball-control as Manoy accounted for 89 yards on 24 carries, while Kevin McKenzie rushed for 49 yards on 5 carries, including a 24-yard gallop in the fourth quarter. UCO converted 10 of 15 third-down conversions, which was symbolic to the Bronchos
offensive dominance throughout the game. Mavericks LB B.J. Russell was their lone bright spot with 19 tackles, two tackles for loss and two forced fumbles.
The Bronchos will open their home schedule this Saturday as Abilene Christian visits Wantland Stadium at 6 p.m.

The Central Oklahoma soccer squad held their Blue/Bronze scrimmage on Aug. 28 ending with a tie of 2-2 at Wantland Stadium. "It was good, I'm happy with what I saw. We got in a full ninety minutes and we worked on a lot of things," Head Coach Mike Cook said. The Bronchos worked on their ball control, ball pressure, passing and positioning to see the ball. Heidi Kohbacher and Nicole Butler put up the deuce for the Blue team while two-year letter winner Traci Clifford and Audri Habibi, scored for the Bronze. Habibi, led the team in goals and points last year playing as a true freshmen. "Overall it was fairly matched up. Obviously, we have good girls and it will be a good season," said Gulisao, a strong defensive presence for the Blue team. Stephanie Finley, the senior defensive standout said, "It went great, it was good! We have a lot of potential and we're coming

together as a team." "It went well, the intensity was good, and we still have a week of practice and that will help," said Lindsey Hull, a sophomore midfielder from Tulsa. Cook said, "We saw some areas to work on but we had good results and we are glad to have another week of practice, the team is taking good strides." Lily Defee, the senior midfielder, was out this week due to a pulled hip flexor. Defee will return Monday and practice as scheduled. "It's helped, she's been able to sit down and watch film. It's good to sit and watch, it brings in the mental side of the game, to see and learn the game better at midfielder position," said Coach Cook, regarding Defee sitting out.. The Bronchos 2004 season will start Sept. 4-5 at the Central Missouri State Classic in Warrensburg, Mo. UCO is ranked No. 24 in the nation, according to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America NCAA Division II poll. The Bronchos have eight
