■ The 102-year-old Old North building needs millions of dollars for repairs. by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer

Six to eight million dollars is needed to fund the repair of Old North. Old North is the clock tower located on the west side of campus. It was closed in 2001 due to internal structural concerns. Exterior repairs and repairs to the roof were completed in February of 2004, but the interior structure needs modification before Old North can be occupied. "The primary issue is funding," said Charlie Johnson, UCO News Bureau director. "Old North will be shut down for the foreseeable future". Old North was built in 1892, and has undergone constant renovations. 1.5 million dollars was allocated in 1997 for "Phase 1" construction, which included brickwork and updates to the roof structure. There have been several initiatives to close Old North before. "Attempts were made to demolish Old North in 1911 and the mid twenties and fifties," said David Stapleton, director of Architectural and Engineering Services. Additions and renovations to the interior structure modified critical structural elements making the interior a safety concern. "Old North is in no danger of toppling over,

Dan Dodson, a UCO adjunct professor for Healthy Life Skills, course, missed the first three classes of the semester because he was in Athens. Dodson was a trainer for the men's Olympic freestyle wrestling

team. "I have worked with teams such as the Harlem Globetrotters, Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco Giants, the United States Military Academy, U.S.A. Track and Field, and Langston University," said Dodson. "But this is my World Series, my Super Bowl." "I can feel, maybe because I'm

an emotional person, but every stadium has its own spirit," Dodson said. "I love to go to the stadium at night and feel the spirit, the emotion inside the arena." On a daily basis, Dodson was working with famous athletes from across the nation and around the world. The people that you read about in Sports Illustrated would be

sitting in the hot tub across the room or sweating like a normal person on the sauna, Dodson said. "I would walk through the training room and there would be tennis great Andy Roddick waiting for his treatments," Dodson said. "Lisa Fernandez, the pitcher for the women's softball team would be

From left, Ryan Butler, a nursing freshman; Jennifer Myers, sociology freshman; and Sarah Reed, West Hall director, take a moment of silence to remember the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The candlelight vigil was hosted by the Residence Life Leadership Community.

With T-shirts and bragging rights on the line, the ROTC kicked off the second annual Cadet Olympics on Sept. 9 at the Fire Station soccer field on campus. Between 55 and 60 cadets turned out under clear skies for nine physical challenges and a tie breaking tug-of-war at the end. After the first nine events had been completed, the Military Science III team, composed of students in their third year of the program took the "gold" and the T-shirts. Junior Chris McWhirter, a member of the winning MSIII team who did 100 push-ups in the team event, described the win as feeling "excellent." McWhirters sentiments were shared by teammate Cody R. Roberts who joking-

ly attributed their teams win to the camouflage face paint that the two were wearing. "It was definitely the camo face paint," she said. The events were overseen by Lt. Col. Stuart Jolly and his staff At the beginning of the competition, Maj. Daryl Shryock communicating by bullhorn shouted to the cadets, "We expect nothing less than your best. 150 percent." The first event was a litter carry where four cadets carried one member of the team on a stretcher the length of the field and back. Roberts said that the litter carry was her favorite event of the day. "My favorite was the litter carry," she said, "because I got to be carried." Other events included a fireman carry which involved carrying a buddy down the field; a water and sand carry;

Quote of the day I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by belief. -Gerry Spence

oh crap. It's official, you can only live off of your credit cards for six and a half years.

Today in History On this day in 1741, George Frederick Handel completed his The Messiah. It took him 23 days to complete the timeless musical treasure.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor: It's 9 p.m. on Friday evening. And, I'm sending off this e-mail because DPS is currently going through the parking lot outside my building handing out Edmond traffic tickets to all of the housing students who can't find a parking space outside of the place where they live. Last year when you proposed the new parking scheme, Residence Hall Association (RHA) advised you that there were not enough parking spaces reserved for housing students. Over 1,400 students live in the residence halls. Yet, you have only reserved just over 500 spaces for these students. RHA told you that this was not enough and we warned you that, as soon as Edmond had a football game in our stadium, our spaces would be taken and students would be getting the shaft. And, you promised us that your officers would not be ticketing during football games because there was no easy solution to this problem. Well, I now have a parking lot full of students who have tickets. And this is not acceptable to me. The students who live in the residence halls are paying $70 per year for permits just to park outside of their own homes. And, there are no spaces out there for them tonight. Under the parking plan that you adopted, you have restricted them to certain spots on campus. Then, you

have given away those spots to other people. And now, you are ticketing my residents because they have no place to park. Everyone else who lives in house or an apartment has a space outside of their home to park their vehicle. They get this for free. Yet, students living in the residence halls are paying $70 for a permit. And, tonight, they are getting ticketed because someone else has taken their spaces. This is an insult on top of an injury. If you were living in a house or an apartment and you didn't have a parking space in front of your home, you wouldn't accept the situation. You'd move. You'd find yourself another house or apartment because no reasonable person should have to live with that. And, if you were ticketed because someone else had parked in your driveway, you'd be absolutely furious. There are certain things that any reasonable person has just cause to expect when it comes to their home. Why do you expect a student living in the residence halls to expect less when it comes to their home? ,

Give credit where credit is due

The instant discount, if approved, is what usually lures students in. As months go by, the credit card bills mount and students find themselves avoiding debt collectors' phone calls. Of course, a credit card for emergencies is prudent for the responsible spender. Having a credit line on standby for unforseeable events is a warm blanket of security to have in a cold, consumer world. Credit card companies are becoming the gatekeepers in our society. Many employers are using credit cheelcs to verify the responsibility of potential candi14tes for jObs.

If you don't have the cash for it, don't buy it. You don't need it. At some point you will want a good job, a house, a car and to buy your piece of the American dream — on credit.

he number of students entering college with credit card debt is astonishing, and the rate at which college students accumulate debt is even more mind-blowing. Credit card companies prey on students because they consider them easy targets. It is often impossible to enter a store without being bombarded by credit card pitches and the idea of obtaining without paying right then is certainly appealing to many students.

But clichés, as annoying as they may be, have become "cliché" for good reason. Namely because there's a spot of unchanging truth behind them that, the moment the rotten degenerate uttered the string of words that were destin to burden mankind with its irritatingly truthful generalization, it stuck. It struck a certain chord among collective humanity and seemed to sum up a vague hint of a feeling toward a universal theme, such as love or hate, in plain and simple words that got to

the heart of the whole situation. Made it easier to understand than if you went out and bought the book, "Cliché for Dummies." And just like a fiery STD, the thing caught on a spread like a wildfire dreaming of gasoline. So yes, there are more clichés in this world than you can shake a stick at. And for the most part, they conjure up a sickening feeling comparable to the one you got when your parents asked you, "Well, if your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" Once in a blue moon however, a nugget of wisdom squeezes its way through the gratingly over used phrase and actually makes you stop and think. Even the one about cake.

Hull's OT goal highlights Carl's Jr. Classic

by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer

The Bronchos improved to 31 with two victories in the Carl's Jr. Classic on Sept. 10-12 at Torn Thompson Field in Edmond. On Sept. 10, UCO topped St. Edward's in a breathtaking 2-1 double-overtime win. The two teams battled to a 00 first half with no goals scored. The Bronchos missed on six shots and goalie Carly Fischer made a diving stop on SEU's best scoring opportunity. Sophomore Midfielder Lindsey Hull scored both of UCO -s goals in the second half Hull shocked the Hilltoppers with her first goal of the game assisted from freshmen forward Lacey Cooley. The speedy Edmond native made a great assist, freezing the Hilltopper's goalie with a backdoor pass. Hull received the ball on left side

of the field, 25 feet from the goal, and took advantage in the second half with 59 minutes played. "It was a rush, it was one of our first home games and there was a big crowd. I get nervous in front of big crowds," Cooley said. It looked like the Bronchos' 1-0 lead would hold until SEU's Sarah Gallagher assisted Jessica Browning who scored with just 44 seconds left in the game to tie the score at 1-1. UCO kept their composure and nearly won it at the buzzer but SEU's Goal Keeper Heather Koudelka made a leaping save on a shot from in front of the goal by Heidi Kohbacher as time ran out. Browning's late score sent the Bronchos and Hilltoppers into overtime but no one could score in the ten-minute period. At the beginning of the sec-

and overtime with only 4 minutes off the clock (the 104 minute of the game) Hull scored to break the deadlock with her second tally on a pass from Meleia Bacon. Bacon sent a long cross from the left post to Hull who set off a celebration at Tom Thompson Field with the game-winner. "We worked really hard and played together as a team we should of won it in regulation but we got it down at the end. I'm proud of my team, I think we played well together," said Hull. Stephanie Gulisao and Anna Snedeker were great defensively. Gulisao was the only player on the field to battle the Hilltoppers the entire game. Gulisao said, "Both teams battled hard and I had no doubt that our team would go ahead and pull it off, we're a strong team and I know that we can

accomplish anything. As we've proven today, everybody played really well and we know how to finish things." "It was a good win, every win is a good game. We're not going to dissect it that much, but its disappointing we didn't win it in regulation we had it inside a minute left. We have to focus until the final whistle but I'm very happy we showed some heart and came back and won the thing. I told them not to give the game away, and we came back and fought and fought and got the win," said Coach Mike Cook. The Bronchos have a 6-1 series record against St. Edward's (2-3). UCO played SEU in its firstever game to open the 1998 season, with the Hilltoppers winning 3-1 for their only victory in the rivalry. On Sept. 12, the Bronchos took on Ouachita Baptist (1-3). UCO did not have any problems offensively, scoring seven goals and shutting out the Tigers in a 7-0 win. UCO got two goals from their top scorer in the 2003 season, Audri Habibi. Habibi scored on a UCO penalty kick and a short chip in off the back foot to the left corner of the goal with the assist from Joy Hagemann. Habibi scored both goals in the first 20 minutes of the game to set the tone for Central. "I felt good about my two shots. I wouldn't of scored them if it wasn't for my teammates who got me some good balls, I felt pretty confident and we put them away," said Habibi. Kohbacher scored a goal with a assist from Sarah Addison in the first with two minutes left. Meaghan Edwards contributed to the win scoring a with the assist to senior Stephanie Finley at start of the second half Kohbacher sent a perfect cross to Melissa Terry, and from 15 feet away Terry scored in the 73 minute of the game. Kristen Juroch had a score assisted by Kohbacher in the 82 minute. The last goal of The Carl's Jr. Classic was Nicole Butler's score in the 83 minute of the game assisted from Terry. UCO has had great success at home, holding a 52-11 record at Tom Thompson Field. The Bronchos went 5-3 at their home facility in their first season in 1998, then went 9-2 in 1999, 11-1 in 2000, 7-2 in 2001, 10-2 in 2002 and 8-1 last season. UCO will host Northeastern at 4 p.m. Sept. 14. The Bronchos take on Emporia State and North Florida in the Texas A&M Commerce Classic this weekend.

Kevin McKenzie runs the ball in the Bronchos home-opening win against Abilene Christian.

U C O is by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor For the third straight week, the No.10-ranked Central Football team used a balanced offense to cruise to a 38-27 road win over West Texas A&M on Sept. 11 in Canyon, Texas. The Bronchos amassed 295 yards passing and 146 yards rushing in UCO's third victory of the season. In his first start of the season, UCO quarterback Justin Allgood was 24-of-32 for 295 yards and two touchdowns. Central held a 31-14 lead heading into the fourth quarter of a game which was not as close as the final score indicated. The Bronchos scored first, as Darnell Sims scored on a 5yard run to cap a seven-play 78-yard drive. On their next possession UCO drove 76 yards in six plays, giving Central a 14-0 lead after Allgood hit Jared Meers from 30 yards out. On WTAMU's next possession, preseason All-American Anthony Byrd intercepted a Derek Maupin pass at the UCO 30 and returned it 63

yards to the A&M 7. A face mask penalty advanced the ball to the 3-yard line. The Bronchos were unable to punch it in as A.J. Haglund's 24-yard field goal extended the Broncho lead to 17. The Buffaloes finally got on the scoreboard late in the first half. A 43-yard pass from Maupin to Jonathan Walker put WTAMU in the redzone. Maupin hit Tonae' Martin from seven yards away to cut the UCO lead to 17-7. The Broncho offense continued to move the ball in the second half as Allgood went 5of-6 on a 12-play, 87-yard touchdown drive. Jarrod Manoy finished the drive with a 3-yard TD run to give UCO a 24-7 lead. The Buffaloes responded quickly with a 10-play, 80yard TD drive of their own. Maupin hit Martin from 10 yards away for their second TD connection of the game. Allgood led UCO right back down the field with a 36yard pass to Cedric Jones down to the WTAMU 12. Manoy took over in the redzone, wrapping up the drive with a 4-yard run to give Central a 31-14 lead at the end of the third.

The Bronchos put the game away early in the fourth quarter as Allgood hit Zach Edwards from 11 yards to give UCO the 38-14 lead. The Buffs added two late touchdowns in the 38-27 UCO win. The Central offense accounted for 441 total yards and 28 first downs. The defense held WTAMU to 43 yards rushing. Manoy rushed for 50 yards on 14 carries and Sims had 42 yards on 10 carries. Meers had a solid game with 84 yards on six catches, Jones had five catches for 59 yards and Edwards added five catches for 58 yards. Tyler Ellis led the Bronchos with seven tackles, Byrd had six tackles including one for loss and an interception. Fred Shaw and Willie Hicks added six tackles each. Maupin passed for 318 yards on 24-of-42 passes and three touchdowns for the Buffaloes.

Central had their biggest showdown of the week on Sept.11. The Bronchos went up against their archrival the West Texas A&M Buffs. UCO upset the Buffs 30-26, 30-19, and 3024. The win ended a 10-year, 15match volleyball losing streak to West Texas A&M. It was UCO's first win over the Lady Buffs since the finals of the 1994 LSC Tournament.

The Lady Buffs are 7-4 on the season, and were listed at No. 26 in the Preseason Poll, but moved up in the first regular-season poll.
