Confusion deters Students pitch in to spruce up campus some student riders from Broncho Bus Lack of bus identification and late arrivals forces some to choose alternate transportation by Brett Deering Vista Staff Writer UCO administrators are addressing initial start-up problems with the Broncho Bus, which was added to the Eddy bus system this semester to service the new Central Plaza's residents. Some students have experienced problems like late buses and identification of the new line. "On the first day of school, I wanted to ride the bus and saw a guy getting picked up, but I thought it was a regular city bus so I didn't get on," said Mark Hays, marketing freshman. "Since it was raining, I just drove." Karen Ocker, director of Transportation and Parking Services, said even though the bus looks like a Metro Transit bus, "The bus itself has signage on the doors stating it is the route 34 or Broncho Bus." Ocker said she has been in contact with Metro Transit to have more recognizable markings put on the bus.
Ocker said her department is working with University Relations on a design concept to make the bus more distinguishable. Dr. Bill Wiseman, director of University Relations, said the committee had a meeting Aug. 29 about the design. "We have been working with the artist," Wiseman said, "And we are really hoping to have the design done in 30 days, maybe six weeks." Raymond Payton, computer science junior, said he had ridden the bus once, but said on several occasions the bus wasn't on time. Payton said he called the main UCO number to ask about schedule times but "I kept getting different answers from whoever I was talking to." Ocker said the new route will need some time to level out. "Traffic patterns fluctuate in the first two weeks of school and the drivers have been taking time to educate people about the line," she said. "When everybody figures out what works

The office of Student Affairs supplied gloves, trash bags, water and pizza for participants. "I wanted to come out and show support," said Dr. Kathyrn Gage, vice president of Student Affairs. "It is very important to take pride in our campus, so we dedicated today as campus clean-up day." "I saw the announcement on UCO Centralities," said Chris Snoddy, student conduct officer.

"We have to clean up after last week (Stampede Week)," said Tony Houck, graduate student. "Plus we get free pizza."

estimates the project will cost between $3,000 and $5,000. Woolard reported the current UCOSA budget at $20,247 for the year. He said $1,677 has been spent so far on such things as office supplies. Jill Sallee, speaker of the house, announced that applications will be taken until the 20 empty seats in the house of representatives are filled. Barrett Dye, president pro tempore of the senate, said he wants the senate meetings to more closely follow Robert's Rules of Order for parliamentary procedure.

Economics profs hope to spark informed debate Woolard, UCOSA meet, outline goals by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff WriterTwo UCO assistant economics professors are partnering this year to enhance policy debate in Oklahoma with the UCO Policy Institute. Dr. Mickey Hepner, director of UCOPI, said many students and members of the community may not know the truth about important issues. He said the goal of this organization is to break down confusing articles and statistics and provide real and objective research to the public. "I review very technical stuff and translate it on our Web site so the public and students can
understand," Hepner said. "We concentrate on topics like government spending, taxes, education, welfare and healthcare." Hepner said students might be interested to know that UCO receives less money per student than any other regional university in the state, about $10 million less than the average on a per-student basis. He said with additional money, UCO would have more advisors, councilors, student health employees and faculty to enhance learning. Hepner said this raises some serious policy issues.

UCOSA should keep organizing lobbying task forces. Last semester a group was organized to lobby the state Legislature to pass a $500 million bond issue. "We need to keep this going, we don't need this to be just a one year project," Nazari said. He said UCO will work with Clay Pope, president of the Oklahoma Student Government Association that organizes students to lobby at the state Capitol.

Binge drinking: a bigger problem than most students think Think back to the last party you attended. Your ability to . recall details such as who was ; present and how you got home probably summarize how much you had to drink that night. What may have seemed like a fun evening with a few beers to get back into the college groove could have actually been an episode of potentially risky binge drinking. Far less alcohol than the university crowd would consider a dangerous amount fits the textbook definition of compulsive substance abuse behavior: five drinks for a man or three for a woman within an hour. Some five million adolescent students annually engage in binge drinking, while half that number classify as "heavy drinkers" with excessive consumption more than four times monthly. This year's statistics by the Center for Disease Control predict that this year
alone 1,400 students will die of alcohol poisoning, 500,000 will injure themselves or others in traffic accidents, 110,000 arrested, and 70,000 sexually assaulted as a result of intoxication. The third leading cause of preventable death in America, alcohol abuse affects about 9 percent of the overall population, but that prevalence is highest among males aged 18 to 24 with a striking demographic in the 20 percent margin. Chronic disease as a result of prolonged alcohol abuse includes various cancers, liver diseases, and pancreatic inflammation, as well as psychological and nervous disorders. Birth defects and miscarriages can occur from a single drink at critical moments in fetal development. Alcoholism has been a component of virtually every antidrug campaign from the elementary school-based D.A.R.E.

of UCO junior Angela Abbit, 24, and OU freshman Blake Hammontree, 19, garnered national media attention, but also lent names and familiar young faces to a previously vague local problem. Both uni-
versities have since enforced alcohol bans on campus and during all related events, but private parties remain a social norm. As long as you're over 21, when and how much alcohol to drink remains your choice, but state limits restrict blood alcohol level to 0.08. Driving or disorderly conduct can easily land you in jail, have your license restricted or revoked, and will likely incur a variety of fines, processing, and legal fees prior to your arraignment in court, besides the obvious safety issues that could result in manslaughter charges. If you're planning on a social event where you know alcohol will be served, eat plenty before arriving and keep snacking throughout the night to balance your metabolism. Attend with
a group rather than alone, and select a designated driver. Even if you know fellow guests, don't leave your drink unattended. Be aware of the amount of liquor you're consuming, for example, a 12-ounce bottle of beer or a 5-ounce glass of wine has the same amount of alcohol as a standard shot. Although exact tolerance depends on body composition, three drinks should be a reasonable limit for an entire party. For more information about binge drinking, the risks of alcohol consumption, and practical tips, visit Boston University's "How Much is Too Much?" page at http://www.alcoholscreening. org/ to take a quick, confidential survey based on your own physical characteristics and drinking patterns.

ISC: elections scheduled for Sept.12 from page 1 ISC asked the university to help fund it. After balking on the part of the university and ISC, Daniels said they have decided to do it. "No matter what it takes we are going to make it happen for Oct. 1," Daniels said. Daniels also announced the monthly International Town Hall meeting, a forum for internationals students. It will start at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 14 in the Will Rogers Room of the NUC. Daniels said it was very effective last semester. Students voiced concerns about issues ranging from problems meeting American students to immigration laws. "It's a place you can speak up. A place where we all work together to make our experiences at UCO better," Daniels said. Daniels announced Sept. 12
as the date for the ISC elections. He said students interested in serving as treasurer, secretary or public relations officers can email their names, the office they are seeking and their banner I.D. number to international@ucok. edu. Dr. Bob McGill, chair of Theatre, Dance & Media Arts, announced the department will hold a vigil for Holocaust victims from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 14 on the stage in Plunkett Park. The event will coincide with the arrival of the National Holocaust Museum Exhibit that will be in Oklahoma City for a month. McGill also invited the different student organizations to participate in the vigil by reading prose or poetry, or singing songs from their countries. He also announced a country will be highlighted for the
International Theater Workshop. The Japanese performance of "Karucha Shokku," or Culture Shock, last semester was the first country highlighted for the workshop. "I think the theater serves no greater cause than to discuss the things that divide us," McGill said. Queena Ezeala announced the Black Student Association will open their annual homecoming fashion show to include fashion from around the world. She asked ISC to participate by modeling clothes from their different countries. "We want it to be a multicultural activity for everyone on campus," Ezeala said.
to release an article on sales tax next month. Hepner and Currier said they hope to begin having student interns in the spring to track legislation development. "I would love to have students interested in getting involved and helping with research," Currier said. Hepner said the funding for the program is very limited, only $3,000 per year from the university. He said they hope to receive outside funding. "In the past, the community has been very supportive," Currier said. Hepner said the university actually had an organization similar to UCOPI called the Oklahoma Center for_ Policy Research, founded in 1998 as
a collaboration between the economics and political science departments. He said that the founder of the OCPR program, Dr. Michael Metzger, died in January and since then they have changed the name and refocused some priorities. "What was done before was more professor- oriented," Hepner said. "Our reports are more accessible and easier to access to students, lawmakers and the general public." Hepner said there are only two official people involved at this point, but he expects other UCO professors will eventually contribute reports.

Faculty predicts bright future for versatile acting student by Courtney Bryce
Vista Staff Writer
UCO instructors have high hopes for a theatre arts senior who has distinguished himself both on stage and off. Dr. Robert McGill, chair of the Department of Theatre, Dance and Media Arts, said he has directed Daniel Gilbert on stage and taught him in academic classes. Gilbert played the role of Orlando in "As You Like It" under McGill's direction. "In every respect he is a dedicated professional," McGill said. "He's one of those students that has a terrific work ethic. Anything you suggest he'll take the time to do it." McGill said the script kept changing while he was directing Gilbert in the role of Orestes in "Agamemnon and His Daughter." "He was incredibly responsive to the re-changing of speeches," McGill said. "We were defining his role up to the last minute." McGill said Gilbert's strength is his drive. "On stage he's instantly credible and likable," McGill said. "He's a generous actor and person and it shines in the role he plays. He'll always play the good guy or hero." Gilbert said he decided to pursue acting his sophomore year of high school when a "screw-up" in his class schedule threw him into drama. He said one of his harder characters to play was "Cuda." "I played a heroin addict," Gilbert said. "That was a challenge as a high school student. I had to, play an addict that died on stage." Gilbert said he had great opportunities at UCO, even as a freshman. He said he looked at many schools, including Oklahoma City University. "I took a lot of classes and got a good feel about what UCO had to offer," Gilbert said. "UCO has always strove to do great theatre projects. OCU is more musically trained." Gilbert's leading roles in UCO productions include Valentine in "Two Gentleman of Verona" and Dewey Maples in "The Diviners." Gilbert said he has also performed with Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park for two winter seasons and four summer seasons. At one point this past summer, Gilbert was perform-

Daniel Gilbert as Valentine in UCO's Oct. 2004 production of "Two Gentlemen of Verona." said. "It can be difficult to cram new lines in but not let the old deteriorate." Gilbert said he hasn't really had time for other performances with everything he does for UCO and OSP. However, he did find time to play Truffaldino in "Servant of Two Masters" at the Civic Center. Gilbert said the concept of the play was to give each character an archetype. His character was the comedian and was based on the Marx Brothers. Gilbert said he doesn't have a favorite role. "The most enjoyable thing about acting is it's new every time," Gilbert said. "You pour so much of your emotion and time researching a character. The overall process is what I love more than any character I've done." Gilbert also competes in Irene Ryan Competitions. Each year the theatre department sends nine students chosen by teachers and judges from the plays done over the year to compete in a drama competition. Each competitor must prepare two duets, in which they pick a non-competitor to partner with, and one monologue. Gilbert said in the first round one duet is performed. If a competitor advances to the second round,
BEST ra147Cirr IN EDMOND, GREAT LOCATION 1 Bed $395 2 Bed $495 6 mo. leases
Great Parking
both duets are preformed. All three pieces are performed in the third round. Gilbert said he has advanced to the final round twice. Donna Dickson, theatre arts professor, said she recently cast Gilbert in the role of Dr. Cedric Seward, the 50-year-old uncle of the girl that is bitten in the upcoming production of "Passions of Dracula." Dickson said the role requires a northern English accent. "He's very adept with dialects," Dickson said. "I think he's a very versatile actor." Dickson said Gilbert usually plays the role of the young hero, except for the time he played the young heroine as Juliet in "Shakespeare's R & J", Joe Calarco's adaptation of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." "I thought he'd like the opportunity to play an older man," Dickson said. "He's got a remarkable imagination. You could put Daniel in any situation facing any conflict and he could create something remarkable that would surprise everyone." Gilbert said he is even growing a beard and cutting his hair for the role. "I also need to focus on how my voice needs to change, how I walk and what my mannerisms should be," Gilbert said. Gilbert can be seen in "Passions of Dracula" in Mitchell Hall at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 22-24 and 2 p.m. Sept. 25. Gilbert said he is not sure what he wants to do after graduation in May, 2006. "I see myself ending up in Los Angeles, New York or Chicago if I don't go to graduate school," Gilbert said. "I think he's ready to work, wh7ther it be film or Broadway," McGill said. "I think Danny is a theater actor because he has such range and passion, but he could handle film." Courtney Bryce can be reached at cbryce@thevistaonline.com .

'Brothers' script is actually pretty 'Grimm' by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer
Matt Damon and Heath Ledger star as fraudulent, exorcist brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm in "The Brothers Grimm," a fictionalized take on the early adventures of the publishers of some of the bestknown fairy tales ever written. The film begins with the siblings traveling from town to town, vanquishing supposed enchantments and goblins a la "Scooby-Doo." The only difference is the brothers know the supernatural occurrences are a hoax from the start. The ghouls the brothers slay are actually their dimwitted and constantly annoying cohorts in costume, and their flaming crucifixes and other "weapons" are actually carefully-designed props for the dramatic scenes they perform for desperate townsfolk. When the tricksters are called to a village plagued by a witch who turns out to be all-tooreal, the brothers have to find
the hamlet's missing children before the demonic queen uses them for her dubious purposes. Perhaps Wilhelm Grimm (Damon) summed up the movie best when he described his mirrored armor to their trapper guide Angelika (Lena Heady), "It's not magical, it's just shiny."
With famed director Terry Gilliam ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail") at the helm and the more than competent cast, which also features Monica Bellucci ("The Matrix Reloaded") and Jonathan Pryce ("Pirates of the Caribbean"), the tongue-in-cheek re-imagining of tales such as "Little
Carton byRoyArthur
Red Riding Hood and Snow White" mixed with a medieval "Men in Black" twist seemed like a sure bet. No doubt the producers were relying on the film's eclectic premise and heart-stopping imagery (most of which is strategically featured in the trailers) to fill enough seats before the
truth gets out: "The Brothers Grimm" is not only a disappointment of mythic proportions, but its total unfaithfulness to its own spirit is a crime against cinema and the beloved tales which is draws from. Painfully obvious computer effects and completely unnecessary characters like the unfunny comedic reliefCavaldi,playedby Peter Stormare ("Constantine") are only part of the problem. The true blame lies with screenwriter Ehren Kruger, who usually produces great work ("The Ring," "Arlington Road," and "The Skeleton Key"). The storyline is so unstructured and incoherent, not to mention rife with plot holes, that there is no focus to the movie. The few aspects that are actually interesting (like the villainous Mirror Queen (Bellucci) and nods to assorted fairy tales) are minimized in favor of useless subplots, wasted characters and totally blown opportunities. Gilliam does the best he can with the tools given, but this movie is not near as ambitious

as his hallucinogenic "Brazil" (1985) or as delightfully insane as his post-apocalyptic time travel film "12 Monkeys" (1995). Not even his eye for the bizarre and Tim Burton-esque bent toward the macabre could make up for what the script lacked. It takes part of what was good in the superb "Sleepy Hollow" (1999) and mixes it with everything that was bad in the nauseating "Van Helsing" (2004). To its credit, about halfway through there is a scene involving a cat, an angry Frenchman and a giant blender that has to be seen to be believed, but little else from this movie will be remembered the morning after. Maybe that's a good thing.

Bronchos regroup after upset by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer UCO head football coach Chuck Langston said only one word to describe this weekend's game-plan against Abilene Christian University: "Win." The Bronchos prepare for their first Lone Star Conference game of the year after losing 26-7 to Missouri Western University Aug. 25. ACU has yet to play a game and will face the Bronchos on Sept. 3 in Abilene, Texas. ACU had two players, Clayton Farrell and Daniel Manning, named to the NCAA Division II pre-season All-America team by d2football.com . Farrell, a senior defensive end, was the 2004 LSC South Division co-defensive linemen of the year. Farrell led the LSC in tackles per game with 18.5 and ranked no. 12 in Division H with 1.85 tackles for loss per game. Manning, a junior safety, was named to six All-America teams in 2004, either as a return specialist or a defensive back. Manning led the nation with a punt return average of 22.0 yards a return, returning two for touchdowns. ACU is led by first year Head Coach Chris Thomsen. "We just have to go out and execute and play better," Langston said. "We got to go win. We're on the road versus a new coach, going into a hostile environment. We're going into a hornet's nest. We got to go play to our capability. That's the key." LSC preseason player of the
year Justin Allgood struggled in the Bronchos' opener, completing 13 of 28 passes for 116 yards and an interception. Last year Allgood was 12 of 18 against ACU, with no interceptions, throwing for 192 yards and three touchdowns in the first half. Seymore Shaw leads the Bronchos in rushing after one game with 87 yards. Shaw averaged 5.4 yards per carry on 16 attempts. Kevin McKenzie averaged seven yards per carry on just four rushing attempts. "We got to make plays on offense," Langston said. "We got to play better at quarterback, and play better at receiver and we have to be able to execute offensively. The other night we didn't execute offensively. We kept our defense on the field too long so there are just a number things we have to do." Jake Morton leads the Bronchos in tackles with nine, followed by 2004 first team All-LSC safety Fred Shaw and four-year starting defensive back Anthony Byrd, who tied with eight tackles apiece. Cedric Jones leads the team with four receptions for 24 yards and averaged 20 yards on three kick returns. Fred Shaw has the team's only interception, and cornerback Bernard Moore owns the teams' only blocked kick and averages 18 yards per carry on two kick returns. "We have to play with enthusiasm, play with a lot of intensity and have a sense of oneness or togetherness," Langston said. "No

UCO Soccer team faces two ranked opponents by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer After opening the season 20, including a victory over no.-4 ranked Nebraska-Omaha, the UCO soccer team heads to Denver this weekend to face two more nationally-ranked opponents. The Bronchos will face no.1 ranked Metropolitan State, the defending Division II national champions, Friday at 6 p.m. They take on no.-11 ranked Regis University Sunday at 1 p.m. "It's a big test," UCO head coach Mike Cook said. "We're coming in to play no. 1 and no. 11. We're going to go up there and play hard, and we want to compare ourselves to the national champs." MSU had a perfect 14-0 record in 2004 and are projected to repeat as national champions. In their season opener the Roadrunners cruised by South Carolina Upstate with a convincing 7-0 victory.

The UCO cross country team will open their season Saturday at the Hurricane Cross Country Festival in Tulsa. UCO head coach J.D. Martin said the Bronchos are excited to compete despite intense competition. "We're stepping up out of our league a little bit this weekend," Martin said. "We'll be competing against a lot of Division I teams, like [the University of] Oklahoma and Tulsa [University]. I think we'll be the only Division II team there."
