'Cadet Olympics' to test skills ■ Classes will compete against each other during the second annual Cadet Olympic games.

by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer The UCO ROTC will hold its second annual Cadet Olympics from 2 to 5 p.m. Sept. 9 at the soccer field on the southeast corner of campus.

Lt. Col. Stuart Jolly said that cadets will be split into classes (freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors) for a series of military-style athletic events, which will be open to the public.

■ School receives donation for student scholarships.

by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer Oklahoma City based Chesapeake Energy Corporation made a $50,000 donation to the university in a ceremony Sept. 2 in Evans Hall.

"Chesapeake is a wonderful friend to the university," said President W. Roger Webb, to the crowd of about 20 people.

Webb accepted an over-sized novelty check made out to the university, from Chesapeake Senior Vice President Tom Price, Jr. and his wife Lisa.

Price and his wife are both UCO alumni, and met each other on campus in the early 1980's as undergraduates.

In his remarks, Webb pointed to the Price family as proof of the caliber of education received at UCO. "We're looking to companies like Chesapeake to inspire our students to say, 'this is what you can do,' Webb said.

Next, Price took the podium and referred to the donation as an "extraordinary opportunity" for the university to continue offering the sort of education that he and his wife had received here.

"It's a great pleasure for Chesapeake to be able to donate to UCO, and to deepen our relationship with UCO," Price said. "It's exciting to see the progress that has taken place here."

The ceremony was also attended by State Senator Mark Snyder, who spoke on the commitment of Webb and the UCO faculty to its students.

"We are the best regional university in Oklahoma," said Snyder, who represents district 41, which includes Edmond.

The donation will be distributed as a five-year $10,000 annual gift to the university.

The money is part of the Chesapeake Energy Corporation's Scholars' Program, which is designed to hopefully keep scholarship recipients in state after graduation to help bolster the workforce and strengthen the state's economy.

by Sarah Roberson Copy Editor Although assigned parking, designed to accommodate all students and faculty, was mandated at UCO this year, many students feel parking is worse than ever.

With enrollment increasing by 329 students this year to 15,584, and parking permits going up to $70, new parking spaces were not constructed. The actual number of student parking spaces is 5,213, Leon Fourcade, director of transportation and parking at UCO, said.

Along with push-up contests and a dummy grenade toss, a new event this year will be a Humvee push.

Jordan said she is looking forward to the Humvee push mainly to see if they can actually budge the 5,200-pound vehicle.

At the conclusion of the events, an awards ceremony will crown this year's winning class.

"They win a trophy," Jolly said, "and the entire winning class gets an Olympic T-shirt."

Jolly and Jordan said everyone should come out and see the ROTC at their best.

"I just think it's a really great way to let our name be known around campus and (let people know) that we're not a dead organization," Jordan said.

CARTOON BY ERIC OSBORN

THE BODY POLITIK

Should service be pre-req for presidents?

Swift boat veterans are the campaign equivalent of Pokemon's. They came out of nowhere, are being used in childish situations, and asked to battle each other in a public arena. I'm not really sure, how much swift boat veterans cost but everyone seems to have a few in their pocket.

Different groups of these veterans are both attacking and defending John Kerry's Vietnam War record. Is his, or any potential presidents war record relevant?

JOSEPH WERTZ COLUMNIST The president is commander in chief, and that seems to be all any one can talk about these days. The presidential office doesn't hold the power to declare war, but

the implied power to wage it. Does our president elect need to be a war hero? Do they need to see active combat?

Twelve of our presidents never even served in the military. Out of the 30 that did, only 15 of them actually saw combat action.

It is a general guideline that if you are running for a political office, especially one as influential as President of The United States of America that military service is a good way of showing dedication and patriotism. But should it be a pre requisite?

Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt never served, and his New Deal programs, and public works initiatives pulled the nation out the Great Depression.

Bush served in the National Guard, and there are many questions about his service.

There are suspiciously missing records, and reports of him being AWOL. There are also questions about John Kerry's service. Questionable information regarding his self nominated Purple Heart, and his later medal tossing. If you ask me, the two cancel each other out.

Both Bush and Kerry knew they had to

serve. Their political aspirations made it a necessity to put on a uniform. Why is this appealing? Is it truly honorable to join the military for personal political gain?

Though their individual actions helped the nations military goals, neither Bush nor Kerry served our nation in the military, they served themselves.

We are being pandered to in the most obvious way. Candidates are attempting to be everything, and it results in their platform standing for nothing.

We have become obvious in our expectations, and candidates have figured out the equation. A candidate just has to run down a checklist to get votes. Religion? Check...

Military Service? Check... Family Values?

Check... We shouldn't just want to be told what we want to hear. We need to hear ideas. We can't get so fixated on a single issue that when it gets addressed we breathe a sigh of relief, comply and fall in line.

You are who you are when nobody is looking, and the weight of your character is based on things you have to do. Doing things you know people are going to see doesn't make you honorable or heroic.

HEART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

State of martial law grips Wantland Stadium UCO had its first home football game of the season last Saturday. I went. It was my first, and I've been here for a little over a year I believe.

And for that I feel like a two-bit rotten criminal.

It was a massacre plain and simple.

I think the Bronchos could've played

GAVIN D. ELLIOTT COLUMNIST in sandals and string bikinis, and despite the humiliating effect the bikinis would've had on the players, the score still would've been as decisively splitting as a thong.

But enough of that.

I was walking up and down the sidelines acting important when I heard a voice from behind me yelling, "Gavin!"

Now, I'll admit my name isn't the most common and save for a Bush (not W.) concert, I'm usually fairly certain when someone is trying to get my attention. Though, there have been several instances when there has been a 'Kevin' in my general vicinity and the syllables sound remarkably similar to my name and I turn around to blank stares. But here, I was positive none of the pom squad dancers were named Kevin, so I turned around and there was a girl squatting at the railing motioning for me to come over.

She told me, in a hushed voice like she was informing me of some secret underground Broncho plot to overthrow Wantland in a blue and gold coup, that DPS was telling all the students to sit down.

Apparently the standing and cheering for their team had thrown off the balance of goodness and normalcy in Wantland, and anarchy was on its way.

"This is serious," I thought.

The students had weird wigs of blue and gold on and their faces were painted with ominous slogans like, "Go Bronchos!" Clearly to disguise their identities should things get out of hand.

Indeed, school spirit hummed and surged through the bleachers like a big transformer about to blow. And as we all know, a collective belief in one common thing is very dangerous. And DPS had set out to quell the uprising before it began. Nip it in the bud.

There would be no ripped-down goal posts today.

I tell you, the student body was out of control. The recent protests at the Republican National Convention seemed like a tea party between an 8 year-old girl and her stuffed animals compared to this amount of commo-

tion.

I heard one of them scream for the head of the Abilene Christian quarterback.

My informant then told me that President Webb had already set the wheels in motion to squash this current state of martial law, and my fears of impending doom for centuries to come lifted because I knew Webb was a man of action. The iron fist of the enforcers would not take hold.

The fear was momentarily gone but I kept close monitor on the situation. It was tough. Very difficult in this state.

I was experiencing sensory overload.

On top of the situation with the student body vs. DPS, there was a raucous football game going on with many loud cracks from helmets hitting helmets and whistles and referees motioning for first downs.

Cheerleaders and porn dancers were doing kicks and all sorts of acrobatic flips, fanning the flame of the rebel-

lious attitude coming to a head in the stands.

I nearly got kicked in the face several times. Which would've been disastrous. I had expensive camera equipment around my neck and had been threatened with death by my advisor should anything happen to it.

I don't think they sell insurance that guards against such a thing as a violent kick from a cheerleader. If there's not, there should be. A kick like that could be disastrous.

At the end of the game, the score was something like 275 to 4.

That's what it seemed like.

But maybe we should check the official stats on that...

As I was pushing my way back to my black wagon, I swear I saw some of the students running around the field in front of Hamilton Field House with the Abilene Christian quarterback's head.

Film festival to promote UCO global project

Volunteers to honor area firefighters with dinner

by Lauren Pulsinelli Senior Staff Writer

UCO's first International Film Festival will begin at 5 p.m. Sept. 9 in the Oklahoma City Museum of Art's Noble Theater. The festival is part of PASSPORT UCO, a new class offered this fall semester.

The feature film "I'm Not Scared" will begin at 7:30.

Director Gabriele Salvatores takes viewers to a southern Italian village in the summer of 1978.

There, a 10-year-old boy named Michele discovers even his own parents may be connected to the kidnapping crime that has gripped hold of the country.

"It's loosely based on kidnappings and a short novel, put into a fictional film," said Brian Hearn, OCMOA film curator. "You also see how hot it was Italy; in 1978, temperatures hit a record high."

"I'm Not Scared" has already won a handful of Italian awards equivalent to American Oscars, Hearn said.

Salvatores film "Mediterraneo" won an Oscar in 1992 for best foreign language film. This year, "I'm Not Scared" is Italy's official selection for next year's Oscars.

Tickets purchased on Thursday are $6 for students and includes admission to the film and cocktails on the skyline. The film will also show at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10 and 11 and at 2 p.m. Sept. 11 and 12.

by Lacy Myers Staff Writer

The Volunteer Center and the Department of Campus Life are teaming up to honor area firefighters on Sept.11.

More than 100 volunteers will prepare and serve dinner from 5 to 8:30 p.m. for on-duty firefighters at an estimated 30-35 stations in the Edmond and Oklahoma City areas, said Christina Gilmore, assistant director of Campus Life.

The service project is in its third year, Gilmore said. She hopes that it will become a tradition.

"People don't realize all they do for us," she said. "This project teaches students to volunteer and give back to the community that gives to them."

For more information, contact Campus Life at 974-2363.

As part of the series, Italian films "Bicycle Thief" will show at 5 p.m. Oct. 6, and "Life is Beautiful" at 6 p.m. Oct. 13 in Pegasus Theater in the Liberal Arts Building.

The PASSPORT program was created to raise awareness of other culWHO: tures.

You get to walk down streets built in the 4th century A.D. its like stepping into history."

Hommel has been taking these kinds of trips for 15 years and said he has been to Italy four or five times.

For the first time, the trip has been grouped

together to focus studies in history, art, music and business. Students can earn three credit hours under one of these classifications, with the additional charge of class enrollment. Once students return from Italy, students will be required to write a paper discussing actual works of art and how it changed their view of art to earn credit for Hommel's art history class.

"Every street corner is filled with art," she said.

Along with visiting the more famous places in Italy such as the museums, students will notice cultural developments in various places, he said.

"There is a whole culture to see," said Hommel Last year, 24 students went but, since the new grouping, Hommel said he expects close to 40 people, including members of the community who want to go.

The trip is not strictly for UCO students, Hommel said. "Even senior citizens have a very good time," he said.

For more information on the 14-day educational tour, call Hommel at 974-5202.

Each fall semester, the PASSPORT class will be offered. Hommel talks about Italy in his classes, allowing them to view slides and books he has acquired in Italy.

Financial aid is available for students who take the trip.

"Some students get loans and found it very worthwhile," Hommel said.

PARKING from page 1 said, "but it will eliminate a lot of the frustration."

Amy Brown, a senior elementary education major said, "I think it's good they made housing parking (convenient for on-campus residents), but it did nothing for commuter parking. When you pay $70 for a parking pass, you should be able to find a parking place, but no matter what, parking will not always benefit everyone."

Harp said parking permits, which rose five dollars this year, went up in cost, as the third step in a three-syear plan approved by the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education to rise permit cost five dollars a year for three years. He said this hike is the last increase approved in the plan.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Thousands of Floridians beginning the recovery process in the destructive path of Hurricane Frances were hampered by long lines, congested highways and sticky heat, while the White House and teams of relief workers promised that help was on the way. President Bush was to meet Wednesday with relief workers in Fort Pierce and hurricane specialists in Miami while discussing a $2 billion disaster relief package for victims of both Frances and Charley, which ravaged southwest Florida last month.

"We don't anticipate another increase, but if we have the opportunity to acquire adjacent property (we will take advantage of it)," he said. "We are always looking for ways to improve parking places, with the desire to keep parking rates as low as possible."

"We are working continually with the metro transit system and the City of Edmond to improve the situation," Harp said.

According to the Oklahoma State University's O'Collegian, OSU students are experiencing the same parking problems, as is the University of Oklahoma, but both are addressing the issues with transit systems.

"OU has the Lloyd Noble and a well established trolley system. We're looking at those options here, but we have to have a plan that

works," Harp said.

Harp said he plans to work with the new focus group to address this issue, but for now, plans are being discussed to get more bike racks for students who live close to campus, to use.

He said students should take advantage of Ayers and find alternate routes to and from campus, to help the congestion problems on Second Street Plans for a parking garage are not in the works, due to cost, but Harp said he does see it in the future.

"It cost about $1,000 to take land that is dirt and turn it into parking (per space)," Harp said.

"A parking garage would cost about $14,000 (per space) to build and maintain."

But, some students said they would be willing to pay more to have a better parking experience.

Gates said, "I'd pay more in order to have a parking garage on campus. It would be nice in the winter."

Harp said, "We looked at balancing the situation (to accommodate all students, faculty and staff,) but no, one answer makes everyone happy. This year, we are making small steps in solving the longterm transportation and parking issues on campus."

More information about the upcoming committee will be provided to students, faculty and staff when it becomes available Harp said. For more information on parking, call 974-2780 or go to vvww.ucok.edu/admin/parking. For information on Eddy stops and times, go to www.gometro.org .

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf of Lincoln followed similar decisions earlier in two other cases.

The abortion ban was signed last year by President Bush but was not enforced because judges in Lincoln, New York and San Francisco agreed to hear evidence in three simultaneous non-jury trials on whether it violates the Constitution.

The rulings are expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Oklahoma rodeo clown injured TULSA, Okla. — An Oklahoma rodeo clown remains in a South Dakota hospital intensive care unit after being hurt in an explosion during his act, authorities said.

Perkins resident Clay Drake was injured Sunday night during a performance at the Labor Days Celebration rodeo in Wagner, S.D. He was listed in critical condition late Tuesday at Avera McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls, a hospital spokeswoman said.

The accident happened while Drake, 28, and another clown were doing a routine involving an old-style camera, Wagner Police Sgt. Brad Bortnem said.

Delta to cut up to 7,000 jobs in next 18 months ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines will cut up to 7,000 jobs, or 10 percent of its overall work force, cut wages and pull back at its Dallas-Fort Worth airport hub as part of a sweeping restructuring plan that could still leave it vulnerable to needing to file for bankruptcy, company CEO Gerald Grinstein said Wednesday.

Bronchos home debut is Allgood

Behind the Gate With Harry Gatewood

by Brandon Chatmon

Sports Editor Sparked by three touchdown passes from Justin Allgood, the UCO football team defeated Abilene Christian 49-24 on Sept. 4 at Wantland Stadium.

Allgood's touchdown toss-

es were part of a 35-point outburst in the first half of a game which was not a close as the final score indicated.

The Bronchos got off to a slow start after James Smith's pass was intercepted by ACU's Brandon Henry on the Bronchos first play of the game.

Ryan Lopez runs for a 63-yard touchdown in the Bronchos home opening-win over Abilene Christian.

The UCO defense was up to the challenge forcing the Wildcats to settle for a 31-yard Eben Nelson field goal and 30 lead.

ACU held the slim lead until Ryan Lopez broke a 63yard touchdown run on a fake punt. The 6-1, 206-pound senior from Houston, Texas showed surprising speed and great patience while weaving through the Abilene punt return unit on his way to the endzone.

Robert Stovall recovered a fumble by ACU's Rashon Myles to set up UCO's second score, as Allgood hit Jared Meers from 13 yards out to give the Bronchos a 14-3 advantage at the end of the first quarter.

Early in the second, Allgood hit Zach Edwards on a short out pattern which Edwards converted into a 48 yard touchdown after he spun past the ACU cornerback and skirted up the sideline to the endzone.

On the Wildcats ensuing possession, Cornerback Bernard Moore intercepted Greg Wiggins pass at the 26 and returned it for the Bronchos' second score in less than a minute.

The Wildcats responded with a 15-play drive but were stopped on fourth-and-two in Broncho territory after Wiggins' pass to Jerale Badon fell to the turf.

UCO took possession with 3:03 left, driving quickly down the field as Allgood hit Brandon Verrett for 16 yards, Cedric Jones for 18 yards and Meers for 14 yards before capping off his stellar first half with a 20-yard connection to Verrett.

Heading out of the locker room with a 35-3 deficit, the Wildcats put together a solid 14-play, 67-yard drive to begin the second half

UCO rose to the occasion again however as Moore's leaping interception in the endzone halted ACU's attempt to get back into the ballgame.

The Bronchos tacked on another touchdown late in the third as Jarrod Manoy's threeyard run gave UCO a 42-3 lead at the end of three quarters.

The Wildcats fought back to score three fourth-quarter touchdowns to make the final score 49-24.

UCO dominated in the trenches, averaging 7.1 yards per rush attempt accounting for 270 total rushing yards.

The offense was balanced for the second straight week with 211 passing yards and 270 rushing yards for 481 total yards, averaging 7.8 yards per offensive play.

The defense was just as strong, forcing four Wildcat turnovers and holding ACU to three points through three quarters.

The one-two punch of Manoy and Kevin McKenzie was stellar as Manoy rushed for 101 yards on 12 carries and McKenzie amassed 95 yards on nine carries.

Edwards led UCO with five catches for 98 yards and a touchdown.

Allgood finished 12-of-18 for 192 yards and three touchdowns.

Moore added three tackles to his two interceptions while earning Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Uriah Matthew led the Bronchos with eight tackles.

ACU's Wiggins passed for 260 yards connecting on 19of-42 attempts. However, 224 of the yards were amassed in the second half Mark Gaines had 17 carries for 44 yards and a paltry 2.5 yards-per-carry average.

Jerale Badon caught five pass-es for 98 yards and a TD. UCO is 2-0 and travels to Canyon, Texas on Saturday to face West Texas A&M at 6 p.m.

Fans, are not just the crowd, not just a member or a supporter, but the biggest link to what athletes do. Fans have the emotion, character, and demeanor that show the true colors of sports.

You are what bring the excitement to the game.

Collegiate sports are no ordinary play in the park. Now-adays kids don't want to go through all the practicing, all the hard work, the long summer heat, the intense mind preparation and everything else that's going down in the trenches.

Since the season's here now's the time the athletes should let it all out and play their game. But you the fans not only need to do what you do best but make it personal. Fans play a huge role that can make players fall apart.

Fans can nick and pick at a team until they are mentally drained.

Fans affect the games outcome from start to finish.

Now is the time to represent fans. Make your presence known, you are the spirit that carries the team to victory.

You make the defensive line strut their stuff, and make the wide receiver want to catch the ball more than ever, due to those ooh's and ahh's you obtain. You make running backs try to punish the defenders with grueling stiff arms like Roy Williams received from Chris Brown of the Tennessee Titans.

The linebackers and fullbacks go insane just thinking of all the mayhem they'll get into and all the conspiracy they can stir when the crowd lets the man on his back know that he's been done in.

Defensive backs, are full of surprises, they feed of the fans energy just like go on green.

DB's are just waiting for the next pass they want to intercept it and take it to the house, and even if they don't make it to the end zone they will create some sort razzle dazzle showtime just like Bernard Moore did against Abilene Christian with his interception in the end zone.

It's not only in football but in volleyball and soccer too. When the match is close and it comes down to game point and everyone's breath is held until the final score and then the fans let out all their anxiety from the huge kill that was put right in the body of the opponent. That's what makes sports today's hobby of choice.

In soccer every one is focused in on the game, watching the amazing foot work, strategy and physical endurance of the players, and then all of a sudden a player loses their position, an opening is revealed the goalie sees it and is rushing to make the block and the "shwack" as the ball flies into the inside corner of the goal and there's no way to prevent the score. That's sports.

It makes fans go ballistic and all the players congratulate each other, its all about your feeling and vibes.

So to the fans out there that feels like their voice is not heard, don't worry, just yell a little louder. Remember this is America and your opinion counts, all you have to do is make your presence known and let everyone know the good, the bad, and the ugly. You are the fanatic.

Bronchos top Dallas Baptist, split at Missouri Western

UCO starts out 1-1

by Harry Gatewood III

Sports Writer

UCO opened the soccer season Sept. 4-5 at the Central Missouri State Classic in Warrensburg, Mo. defeating Saint Cloud 2-0 and falling to Central Missouri State 0-2.

The Bronchos stampeded into Missouri and stomped the Huskies with a 2-0 defensive win.

Central dominated defensively from start-to-finish and scored a pair of goals in the final 23 minutes.

"We have had a great week of practice and are very excited about finally getting started with our first game. We have really just been worrying about what we are going to try to do an we need to concentrate on as a team. We feel if we play the way we have practiced and stick with our style, other teams will have to adjust to us. I think things have sunk in with the players," Coach Cook said.

The No. 2 4-ranked Bronchos outshot the Huskies 25 to 2 in the contest with Stephanie Gulisao, Stephanie

Finley and Anna Snedeker leading the defensive effort.

"We are confident in the preparation we have had and the system we are running," said Cook. "It's important to stick together and play hard on the road so we can begin the season with a positive start."

The teams battled to a scoreless tie in the first half and through nearly 23 minutes of the second before UCO finally broke the drought when Audri Habibi, managed score after Traci Clifford set her up with a pass.

Habibi sliced the goal in the 68th minute of the showdown.

That was more than enough for UCO's defense, but the Bronchos closed the deal by scoring a goal and with less than three minutes remaining. Meleia Bacon fed Heidi Kohbacher for the game-clincher.

Freshman Carly Fischer stayed in the pin at goalkeeper and denied the only two shots she faced.

On Sept. 5, UCO stumbled against the Jennies. Central couldn't take advantage of numerous scoring chances and dropped a disappointing 20 decision to host Central Missouri State in the season-opening CMSU Classic.

T h e Bronchos, outshot the Jennies 16-6 in the contest but gave up a goals in the 56th and 62nd minute in falling to 1-1 on the fresh season.
