O'Keefe also mentioned Spencer Ready, a REDHouse employee, who he refers to as their "all-around man" adding, "the three of us are incapable of managing all the work that is coming across our desk. Spencer does everything to help us." He has been a part of the REDHouse since their beginnings. Although they lived in close proximity for a while, none of them realized they would come together to form a company. "The Leviathan shoot was our first initial project," Beethe said.

The Leviathan is described on their Web site as "a dream in the middle of the conceptual design.

chef before she turned to art. "I was originally going to go to France to become a chef, but was convinced at the last second to go to art school." She graduated in April from Oklahoma Christian University, with a bachelor of fine arts in graphic design. O'Keefe graduated from OC in 2007, with a B.F.A in Graphic Design. "As long as I can remember I was around art," O'Keefe said. "My dad, (Michael O'Keefe, former chair of Art and Design at OC) has always been an artist and a graphic designer. So I wasn't always involved in art, but always around it." O'Keefe said that outside of work, painting is an important part of his life. "I paint when I have free time ... I go crazy when I have nothing to do." Wilkes has a creative background as well, but his beginnings were in music instead of art. "I played guitar six years and piano 11," he said. "I played in a couple street bands in Dallas, but then the Dallas music scene died. "Music helped play a role in creativity, but I got sick of playing music." Wilkes said he studied Graphic Design at UCO. "In college I went directly into photography, via art and design." "I had a camera before then, but didn't know how to use it. I liked creating worlds, but I couldn't draw. "Photography to me became about capturing moments. Then it was how do I create worlds, emotions and pursuits?" The trio said numerous artists in a variety of artistic disciplines inspired them. "We admire when someone can break out of the standards and be successful doing so," O'Keefe said. "For instance the beginners of Google, MySpace and Facebook are all very inspiring to me, because we're small like they were," he said. Beethe said that besides a multitude of different artists, she is heavily influenced by Art Deco and the early Art Nouveau period in France. To aspiring artists who feel intimidated, Beethe suggests they research the background of an artist they hold in high esteem and learn what obstacles they had to overcome in their careers.

PIC OF THE DAY/Fish Find Fence Frightful

•New UCO poet seeks to break readers' hearts By Chase Dearinger Copy Editor

Doug Goetsch boasts of-a simple goal for the poetry he writes. "To break the reader's heart," he says. How he goes about doing that, however, isn't so simple. Goetsch is the new poet-in-residence at UCO, and his energy precedes him wherever he goes; his passion for poetry is matched only by his passion for education. Goetsch will be featured at a reading held by the Creative Studies Writer's Institute at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 24 in 211 LAR. For 21 years, Goetsch taught in the public school sysGOETSCH tem in New York. He taught high school students, prisoners and gifted teenagers. Through it all, he never lost his sense of "fun," a sense that dominates his personality, pedagogy and aesthetic theory. While teaching at a gifted high school, Goetsch hung a poster of the Three Stooges on the wall. Anytime a student would get clever (he hates clever), he would point to the poster and say, "They're not clever." The Three Stooges are genius because of their commitment. "Dumb is better than smart. Dumb is interesting. It's brilliant because it's committed," he says. Emerson would say, "Character is higher than intellect." Goetsch's version of this is, "Dumb is more interesting than smart."

Rapper caught after trying to elude police By AP Writer

HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Rapper Webbie was charged with felony eluding, driving under the influence and misdemeanor possession of marijuana after a high-speed police chase. Webbie, whose real name is Webster Gradney Jr., was arrested in Hattiesburg. He was being held Tuesday at the Forrest County Jail pending an initial court appearance. Authorities said the rapper attempted to elude police Sunday after an officer tried to pull over a 2009 Dodge Challenger for a traffic violation on Interstate 59. He ignored police lights and continued on 1-59, colliding with another vehicle. Police later found the damaged Challenger in a parking lot on U.S. Highway 49. Police later stopped a gray sedan and Gradney was arrested, authorities said. Gradney, a native of Baton Rouge, La., was charged with one count of felony eluding, one count of DUI and one misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana found in the Dodge Challenger. His album "Savage Life 2" made the rap charts this year.

You won't find a bit of dumb in the New York poet's own work. You will find, however, a sense of play between the humorous and the sad, attitude and tenderness. Goetsch's poetry is a unique blend of humor, attitude, tragedy and sadness. "One of the things I try to do is get the reader to cross the line from funny into serious," Goetsch says, "because if you only do one, you're not going to move the reader." Goetsch's poetry constantly grows, its roots constantly growing further into an eclectic soil of other poets. Robert Frost was an early influence. William Carlos Williams is a favorite he wants to explore even more. Stephen Dobyns made him want to write better. And he's always looking for more, for fear that he will stop growing.

Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt plan to give back to Ethiopia, the country from which they adopted a daughter.

Hollywood couple plans $2 million donation NEW YORK -- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are giving back to the country where their 3-year-old daughter Zahara was born. The couple have donated $2 million to help fight HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in Ethiopia, said the Global Health Committee, which announced the donation by the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. The organization will use the money to build a center in the capital city of Addis Ababa for children affected by the disease and establish a program to treat tuberculosis in children and adults. The center will be named for Zahara. The World Health Organization estimates that the African nation has 1.7 million people infected with HIV and 6,000 people infected with drug-resistant tuberculosis. "It is our hope when Zahara is older she will take responsibility of the clinic and continue its mission," Pitt, 44, said in a statement. The couple worked with the Global Health Committee to open the Maddox Chivan Children's Center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, named after their oldest son, 7-year-old Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia. Since February 2006, the center has provided medical treatment, education and social services to children affected by HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. "Our goal is to transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to Ethiopia, where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis, a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease," Jolie, 33, said in a statement Saturday. The couple's 4-year-old son Pax was adopted from Vietnam. The couple are also the parents of 2-year-old Shiloh and twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, who were born in July.

Lincoln Center will honor Tom Hanks in its annual gala tribute, citing the actor's talent of making "a good man compelling." The two-time Academy Award winner will be feted April 27 at Alice Tully Hall, which is being renovated but scheduled to reopen Feb. 22. It will be the society's 36th annual gala, following last year's celebration of Meryl Streep. "There are so few actors who have been able to make the struggle and drama of being a good man compelling," Kent Jones, the society's associate director of programming, said Monday. "With his talent, his presence, his versatility, his sense of humor, he has set a

very high standard for his fellow actors."

William Plans to be Prince of a Pilot LONDON -- Britain's Prince William plans to become a full-time search-and-rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, royal officials said Monday. The prince's Clarence House office said William would begin an 18-month training program in January. William, 26, learned to fly earlier this year during a stint with the air force. He also has served for several months with the Royal Navy and is an officer in the British army.

s important to ask questions Are we asking ough questions? In one of my journalism classes, my teacher discussed that in some cultures it isn't acceptable to ask questions. He said it is considered rude in some areas, including where he grew up. I think it is dangerous to live in a world where people don't ask questions. When you stop asking questions, you begin to deserve what is handed to you. When you don't ask the question of who is running my government, who is working behind the scenes, you deserve what you didn't ask about. Ignorance in this day and age is no longer an excuse. For example, I don't think globalization is the answer to our problems. Why? Not because I don't think cultures are great, not because I am antipeople, but because I asked enough questions, researched enough human behavior to know that this solution is neither realistic, nor a good goal. I respect cultures; I enjoy studying them, participating in them and even learning about new sub-cultures. But cultures are developed for a reason. I am taking a class right now that is challenging me to think globally. In other

words, think of ways we can all move toward being one: one world, one mind, etc. To me, that is just scary. The reason we separated from England? Our forefathers didn't think we should be under one king. Right or wrong, it doesn't matter; they didn't agree with England. Why are India and Pakistan constantly at war? They don't agree with each other. Why did Russia invade Georgia? They didn't agree with each other. I am not saying war is okay, but I am saying it is inevitable. Even if we train Americans to think globally and to think internationally, somebody somewhere in the world will try to gain enough power to manipulate or redefine what globalization means. I asked questions. I dug deep to find the root of the problem: we are humans. Sure, globalization sounds like a nice idea, but it isn't practical. I challenge students to ask questions. Don't accept things at face value because our professors are telling it to us. Don't believe everything you hear. Sift through the good, and recognize the bad. Not everything you are being told is the truth.

What's the point?

Ignorance in this day and age is no longer an excuse.

Once in a Blue Moon

By Greg Newby

By Daviyion Johnson and Ryan Kolb

Staff Writer

Restaurant Reviewers Once in a while, a great restaurant knocks at your door -- and this week's visitor is the Blue Moon Chinese Restaurant. The restaurant, with its deep blue sip near the corner of Broadway and 15m Street, offers quite the experience for those looking for a great, but reasonably priced meal. With prices ranging from roughly $7 to $14, it is a steal of a deal for students and families alike. Upon pulling into the parking lot, you won't notice anything spectacular about the restaurant on the outside, but it's the complex and delicious interior that makes you want more -- somewhat like that brownie that has been cooked a little too long, but still has a chewy inside; MMM ... we love brownies, but this review is about Chinese food, not brownies. Once inside, we received prompt and courteous service from the manager and were quickly directed to a booth (we like them better). One of the first things that we noticed was the use of space in the restaurant. It was a very open place with lots of free space to walk around in and maybe do a few jumping jacks if you really wanted. Our booth was comfortable with plenty of leg and arm room and the table had plenty of space for those people without manners who like using two hands to eat. Because we went during peak dinner hours, we were expecting it to be loaded with people everywhere, but that was not the case. The place was sparsely filled but after having the food, we could not understand why. Daviyon ordered, and highly recommends, the combo platter #1, which came with Sweet and Sour Pork and Shrimp, Garlic Chicken and Chicken Chow Mien. Ryan ordered 'Beef Chow Mien, which came with fried rice and an eggroll.

Blue Moon Chinese Restaurant: Good food, good price, good atmosphere

The portion and quality was outstanding for the price we paid. Both meals had huge portions, as both of us took some home to enjoy later. Blue Moon's location and setup makes it a true hidden gem for the UCO and Edmond communities and everyone should take some time to grab one of their specials. It's definitely one of those places that you pass a million times and wonder what it is like, but you never stop. Overall, our experience at Blue Moon was fantastic. The food, service and atmosphere were all above average. We recommend this place if you want to eat some great food, take some home for later and enjoy the entire experience with your friends, family or that special someone. Ryan's rating: 4.5 out of 5 with the biggest benefit being the large portion size and great value. Daviyion loves two things in life: tasty foods and leftovers and if you do too, Blue Moon is the place for you.

Everybody loves a good murder mystery. Everybody loves to see the good guy win and the bad guy lose. And, everybody loves Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. So why doesn't everybody love "Righteous Kill?" In Jon Avnet's ("Fried Green Tomatoes," "88 Minutes") latest film, Turk (De Niro) and Rooster (Pacino) are New York City Police detectives hot on the trail of "The Poet Murderer," who spends his time killing New York City's bad guys and thugs. After conferring with a couple other detectives who have been chasing leads related to this same case, they realize that the killer must be a cop. The common thread between all of these murders? All of them were investigated by the duo and all were later acquitted. With his raging attitude and track record for taking the law into his own hands, Turk quickly becomes the prime suspect. After a drug bust gone bad, the two are forced to see the department psychologist, and the story drags on. People may be inclined to think they should go see this film simply because it stars two legends. They have starred together on screen only one time before. This is not unreasonable thinking, but this movie is definitely not Pacino's best work. It seems like he just showed up for" filching and really didn't even try to sell his character to the audience. Pacino's acting deficiencies are magnified by the fact that Turk and Rooster are just very flat characters to begin with. We learn nothing about either of their personal lives except that Turk has a little fling going with one of their female detective buddies. Audiences need to get to know a character, need a reason to become attached to 'him and need to get emotionally involved with a character to care about what happens to him. For this to happen and for the character to

be successful, we need to learn about his background and who he is as a person, something this movie sadly neglects. Probably the biggest problem of all is the pacing. The run time on this film is listed as one hour, 40 minutes, but it seems like you're sitting there in the theater for three hours. A minute of a man walking down the hallway, 30 seconds of someone standing at a front door trying to get in, little things here and there that don't really advance the story but really do slow down the story-telling. Out of those 110 minutes, probably only 45 were devoted to the story in a meaningful way. It was as if the director decided he had a set amount of time and he was going to fill it up, no matter what. This film just goes to show that star power can only get you so far, especially when one of your stars isn't nshindli his brightest. This film does have some good parts, but they're few and far between. Wait for the DVD.

Sigma Tau receives award By Lauren Lubbers Staff Writer

UCO's Beta Zeta chapter of the Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity was awarded the fraternity's highest national honor this summer, the Edward H. McCune Distinguished Chapter Award. Sig Tau received the awarsi, as well as several others, during their 34 Annual Grand Chapter Conference in St. Louis, which was held from July 31 through Aug. 3. "Going to our Grand Chapter in St. Louis was such an amazing experience for me,' Sig Tau fraternity member Miguel Gonzalez said. "I realized that I was part of something so much bigger than I ever imagined." The McCune Distinguished Chapter Award is the highest national award presented to undergraduate chapters of Sig Tau. The other awards received included

the W.T Hembree Leadership Award, the Emmett Ellis Scholarship Award and the Robert Nagel Jones Charitable Projects Award. "It was awesome hearing the Beta Zeta chapter being called award after award," Gonzalez said. "It proved to me that all our hard work over the past year had definitely paid off. "I was so excited to come back to Edmond and show all my brothers the awards we had received, testifying our achievements." Sig Tau is known for being the first fraternity to embrace cultural diversity, according to the UCO Student Life Web site. Sig Tau is one of many UCO Greek chapters that have received such honors and awards, including Acacia, Alpha Gamma Delta, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Kappa.

"August," just a Burn before watching, month-long snooze critic warns readers By Andrew Knittle Senior Reporter

The bursting of the dot-corn bubble in 2001, as well as the culture that defined the era, are definitely things worthy of making a film about. It was an amazing time in U.S history. Even though it was only seven years ago, things were far different than they are now. With that being said, it was disappointing to watch "August," a film that tries —and ultimately fails—to capture the weirdness that was turn-of-the-millennium America. Set in New York City just weeks before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, "August" is the story of Tom Sterling, played by Josh Hartnett and the tech company he and his brother Joshua started just a few years earlier. Torn is the stereotypical CEO of the era, complete with the unkempt hair and trendy clothes and looks and acts more like a celebrity than a businessman. Joshua, played by Adam Scott, is the brains behind the actual "tech" part of the company, although director Austin Chick doesn't go a very good job of explaining what exactly the company does. Apparently they "aggregate" people online, but who knows what that means. As the film commences in early 2001, Landshark, the brothers' company, has just gone public and everything is great. The company's stock soars to $70 a share and we briefly see Tom and Joshua enjoy the fruits of their collective labors. But in just about the same amount of time it took you to read this sentence, that part of the movie is over. The film, at virtually the speed of light, skips ahead five months to August 2001 — the last days of the dot.com era.

The mood of the film is gloomy, tense and, well, pretty depressing, as to be expected. "August," which was recently made available at Blockbuster, Netflix and other stores, should have been a good film. The cast is filled with more than capable actors, including a creepy appearance from David Bowie as the old guard on Wall Street, and the conflict and drama of the era are built in. But the film succeeded only in creating an 88-minute snore fest. Sure, "August" is pretty gloomy and tense, but that's all it is. When a movie doesn't change moods at all, it's hard to truly appreciate that tension for what it really is. One good thing about "August" was the music. The director did well in capturing the technocrazed music scene and the dark, lifeless feeling the sounds evoke. But by the end of the film you'll probably never want to hear another electronically produced track again. In the end, this film was just the product of bad writing. Howard Rodman, the man who wrote "August," just didn't do a good job filling the audience in. We never really find out what Landshark does. While a lot of companies in the dot.com era existed solely on hype and speculation, they at least had some idea of what they would do if there were actually anything to be done. "Aggregating" people, whatever that means, is not a very good explanation. It just doesn't seem like Rodman took the time to research the subject in depth, and the film reflected it. Just because a movie is about an era typified by shallowness, superficiality and laziness, it doesn't mean the film itself should exhibit those same qualities.

By Greg Newby Staff Writer

If you ask me what Joel and Ethan Coen's new film "Burn After Reading" was about, I'd tell you to ask someone who hasn't seen it. They'd probably know more than I would. In their latest writing/ directing outing, the Coens ("Fargo," "The Big Lebowski") seem to really lose the audience as the film loses its sense of direction. An obvious commentary on the ineptitudes of the American intelligence community, "Burn After Reading" features Chad Feldheimer (Brad Pitt) and Linda Litzke (Frances McDormand), employees at a Washington D.C. gym who find a disk containing CIA information. They contact the agent to whom the disk belongs, Osborne Cox (John Malkovich), in an attempt to ransom it back, but when he doesn't bite, they go to the Russians, who just laugh them away. The all important disk

contains the agent's memoirs. Sad to say, if you were lost in "No Country for Old Men," this one's worse. As I said, I understand the premise behind the commentary on the CIA, but movies are supposed to be entertaining. While the acting is tremendous and the humor does pretty well, there is just no story after the initial set up. It digresses into a mass of smaller, individual stories that swirl around the same atmosphere, but never really come together in a climax. The one uniting bond between all of the main characters is that they all know Agent Cox in some way. This, as opposed to a strong plot line, is supposed to be the backbone that holds the entire film together, which is too much to ask. There are just too many

Photo provided

characters to rely solely on one main character to tie everyone together. This film would probably work much better as a series of short films. Some people have the tendency to get lost in a film just because of a certain brandname. The Coen Brothers do have a reputation and a certain pedigree that is automatically attached to anything their name is affixed, but don't buy the hype. The superb acting is no exchange for the lack of a plot. Wait for the DVD.

Moon Festival spreads awareness By Abha Eli Phoboo Senior Reporter

The Asian American Student Association held the Asian Moon Festival the evening of Sept. 12 at Plunkett Park. The festival, which has grown over the years, showcased a dragon dance, music, martial arts and other performances. Miss Asian UCO Sophia Chung performed a dance to a Korean song. "This festival is huge and awesome," she said. "The kids were dancing along with me and it was so much fun." This year was the first time that the Asian Moon Festival was held in Plunkett Park. In previous years, the festival was held by Broncho Lake, but was relocated to accommodate the larger number

of families expected. Christina Truong, president of AASA, said, "I've been organizing this festival for three years and it has grown bigger every time. We have more food and craft this year and a lot more people. "The families brought their own blankets and chairs to sit on the grass. "It was relaxed and hopefully everyone enjoyed it." The objective of the Asian Moon festival is to spread cultural awareness among the UCO community about the Asian culture. The festival is a version of the Chinese Moon Festival, which is celebrated at harvest on the "night of the brightest, roundest, biggest moon of the year," according to Truong.

Local firm helps musicians By Rebecca Shampay

Newspaper Particiaption

REDHouse, a local design firm, is collaborating with musicians to bring a series of free concerts to Oklahoma City. They call this collaboration The

Helium Project: Inhaling Sound. "Oklahoma City has become something important to us," said Keegan O'Keefe of REDHouse. O'Keefe mentioned the importance of music in the American society. He also said the point of the project is to meet new people, create a community in Oklahoma City, and to come out to hear good music. "We want to show the city what it's capable of having ... then show the rest of the country what this city is capable of having," Jessica Beethe, of REDHouse, said. Starting Sept. 25 there will be six concerts this fall season with ticket sales being limited to 100 per concert.

The six concerts will feature Ali Harter, The Non, BuffaloFitz, Matt Stansbury, David Condos, and The Uglysuit, in that order. The bands won't be paid for performing, but they will receive a promotional package from the REDHouse design team. "It's going to be laid back," said Paul Wilkes of REDHouse. "We just want people to come, smile and have fun." David Condos (of Nashville, Tenn.), the only out-of-state band, has been featured on the show One Tree Hill. Condos heard about the project from Wilkes. "Hearing him explain The Helium Project, I was immediately drawn to the concept," Condos said. "I think it's awesome that they saw a void in their local arts community and took the initiative to do something about it." Beethe mentioned the challenge

some of the bands will have with playing acoustically, or "unplugged," as compared to how they normally perform. O'Keefe, Wilkes and Beethe further stressed the importance of giving back to the community. "We also want to challenge musicians to show that they're willing to give back," said Beethe. "I think artist collaboration like this is a must," Matt Harrison, of The Uglysuit, said. "I think it's something you're going to start seeing a lot more of in this city. "It's important for people to keep doing these kinds of things and always be finding new ways to collaborate together and give back." The Ali Harter performance will be Sept. 25. Tickets are available and can now be downloaded at www. theheliumproject.com, courtesy of REDHouse at www.thisisred.com.

UCO professor turns passion for butterflies into art display By Melissa Dixon

Edmond unveils new stars By Laura Hoffert

Senior Reporter

Edmond and Hollywood have never had much in common until now. The UCO Jazz Lab unveiled its take on the "Walk of Stars" this past Friday between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. performances by Steve Tyrell. After his first concert, Tyrell was honored with one of the bronze stars and

signed it in font of the Lab. The Grammy Award winner first performed at the Jazz Lab in 2003. However, he returned to Edmond for three follow-up concerts. Otherentertainersfeatured the Walk of Stars include Wynton Marsalis, Karla Bonoff, Judy Collins, Jane Monheit, and Christopher Cross. University President Roger Webb wanted a way to emphasize the artists who have performed at

the venue, and he thanked the Edmond-based concert promotion group The Tres Amigos for bringing headliners to the Jazz Lab. The group then presented a $10,000 check to Webb to benefit an endowed scholarship for a UCO jazz student. The next headliner to play at the Jazz Lab is Boz Skaggs, a songwriter who lived in Oklahoma briefly before moving to Plano, Tx. So, take that, Hollywood.

Monarch butterflies have flown in from the northeast, right onto the walls of the Donna Nigh Gallery in the Nigh University Center. Fifteen year UCO design professor Keith Webb will showcase his work in the exhibit, "Life on the Butterfly Farm." Three years ago they were able to spread their wings by creating Webb's Wings Monarch Butterfly Farm in Chandler, Okla. and became members of the International Butterfly Breeders Association. "I have two great worlds and having both is a great life," Webb said about teaching and his farm. Webb said their business was built on the belief that our world is caught up in commercialism and industrialization and they wanted to be able to slow down and enjoy life's journey. "You just need a place to

go to be happy and escape," Webb said. Butterflies have symbolized hope, love, transformation and magic throughout history. Webb's artwork will also be displaying artwork of other animals on his farm. His farm includes a herd of donkeys, goats, chickens, giant rabbits, dogs and cats. The butterflies and animals have served as inspiration for his artwork. Webb has six different species of butterflies on his farm that are indigenous to Oklahoma, including our state butterfly the Eastern Black Swallowtail. Webb's farm also supplies butterflies to the Oklahoma City Zoo's exhibit. He kaid another goal of the farm is to teach the importance of saving natural habitats and to help prevent the Monarchs from becoming endangered. Each year Webb raises hundreds of Monarchs on the farm. People can purchase the butterflies for special occasions such as weddings, funerals, anniversaries and

• . • —Specia izi n1 in (

engagements. "The most rewarding ceremony is funerals," Webb said. The packages range from $20 to $695. The purchase and release of the butterflies helps contribute to butterfly conservation and provides a memorable moment as well. Webb said he is planning to make a CD for kids and open his farm up for group tours. "I think he has a good [relationship] with his students," senior Jamie Spencer said. "He is a really good teacher that encourages and pushes them." "Life on the Butterfly Farm" will be on display Sept. 18 through Oct. 30 in the Donna Nigh Gallery Exhibit Hall. The exhibit's opening reception will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. tonight on the third floor of the Nigh University Center. Prints will be available for purchase online to later this week.

e tied from page 1 ne of Joe's biggest pet peeves is people o curse at him. He said if people approach im with respect and courtesy, he is less likely o give a ticket. "[It's] just people thinking we are picking on them for no reason ... We aren't just here to give out tickets. Our job is safety," Joe said. On an average eight-hour day, walking through the parking lots, Joe said he gives out about 50 to 60 tickets. Most, he continued, are for people who have parked in the wrong lot or have no parking permit at all. "This just kind of illustrates how chaotic it would be if we weren't here," Joe said. He said if the Transportation Department decided to not give out tickets anymore, safety on campus would be at risk. "There could be intruders. If there are no decals, we don't know what your business is. The fire lane would be completely blocked off. The fire truck couldn't get to the University Center. The flow of traffic would be bad." Joe's advice to UCO commuters is for them to get up earlier. "Get up about 20 minutes early and you can get a rather decent parking spot," he said. "Be really attentive before you park. Pay attention." "If you have a class anytime after 8 a.m., I would just expect to walk," Joe said. Parking farther away and walking will actually save more time than trying to drive around for a close parking spot. "One time somebody called me and said that they had spent 20 minutes looking for a spot ... where if they had gone a little farther north, they would have been there in five minutes," Martinez said. Both Martinez and Joe agreed that there are always spots in the farther parking lots. "You can just go ahead and bet if you get to school at 10 a.m., you won't get to park by the door," Joe said. "Our mission is to provide the UCO community a safe environment and ready access to campus facilities by efficiently using all available transportation and parking resources," according to the Transportation and Parking Services missions statement.

TPS Continued from page 1 model from the program," Watley said. Although the program is voluntary, 95 percent of TPS employees have signed up to participate. "Physical fitness is a personal deal," Watley said. "Fitness levels will be different for each individual, so their start points will be different. "If we tried to design a generic program, it's not appropriate for individuals who have special circumstances and it's not enough for some who have a higher fitness level to start." The official kick-off is planned for tomorrow in the Wellness Center lobby between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Those attending will participate in a group walk of a mile or more after the ceremony. The program will be run through the spring semester and results will be analyzed to determine the overall success.

This Packers game too late for Dallas By AP Writer

The Dallas Cowboys get to play Green Bay this week, 81/2 months later than they wanted to. The Cowboys were knocked out of the playoffs by the Giants last January a week before they would have played host to the Packers in the NFC championship game. They travel to Lambeau Field on Sunday night, where they meet a team that doesn't seem to have lost much with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback instead of Brett Favre. Even on the road, Dallas is favored by three points. That's because even after the Cowboys' sloppy 41-37 win over Philadelphia on Monday night, America's bettors still believe in America's Team.

At this point, the Cowboys are on course at 2-0, although they have never won in Green Bay: 0-5, the most famous loss being the "Ice Bowl," the 1967 NFC championship game won 21-17 by Vince Lombardi's Packers on Bart Starr's 1-yard sneak over Jerry Kramer. But the Packers are one of several teams that could stop what Dallas fans think is an inevitable Super Bowl run. Green Bay is also unbeaten, with Rodgers making Favre's departure irrelevant — at least for the first two games. The Packers got a little sloppy themselves in Detroit last week, losing a 21-0 lead. But they came right back after falling behind 25-24, rallying for 24 straight fourth-quarter points, including two interception returns for TDs. One advantage for the Cowboys: They are the only NFL team that gets to see Rodgers for a second time. He

came on in relief of an injured Favre at Texas Stadium last Nov. 29 and completed 18 of 26 passes for 201 yards an a touchdown in a 37-27 Dallas win, the only significant action in his first three seasons. In any case, this won't be easy against a good team in prime time in a tough venue. "We know that no game is going to be perfect," said Dallas' prime-time talker, Terrell Owens. "There's going to be interceptions, fumbles, missed assignments by everyone." That's one reason the Packers can win this game. Another is the Cowboys' humility. Or lack thereof. "The Lord has obviously blessed me with a lot of talent," Owens said. He blesses Green Bay this week.

The VIS1 Thursd'AN, Sc pt. 18, 2008

CO finally hits the road Central Oklahoma makes its first road trip of the year and continues a rugged early-season schedule Saturday when the Bronchos travel to Stephenville, Texas to meet No. 16-ranked Tarleton State in a Lone Star Conference crossover game. Kickoff is in Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m. UCO is 0-3 on the year and 0-2 in the overall league standings. The Texans are 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the LSC. It will be the third ranked opponent in four games for the Bronchos, who have lost five straight games dating back to last season. It's UCO's first 0-3 start since 1988. The Bronchos will be making their first road trip under first-year head coach Tracy Holland. UCO is just 4-11 on the road over the past three years and lost its last two away games last season. Roderick Smith rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns on just 13 carries to lead TSU to a 38-6 rout of East Central. UCO leads the series 5-2, though it's the first meeting between the two since 2004 when the Bronchos won 42-17 in Edmond. The Bronchos are 2-1 Stephenville, winning 47-0 in 1995 in the first-ever meeting and 31-17 in 1998. UCO lost in its last trip to Tarleton, falling 38-23 in 2003. UCO attempted 48 passes in last Saturdays loss to Texas A&MKingsville one week after putting up a school-record 49 passes against West Texas A&M. Junior Brandon Noohi (16-of34, 166 yards) and sophomore Alex Gibson (9-of-14, 57 yards) combined to complete 25 of those 48 attempts for a season-high 223 yards.

Bronchos defensive line in their element at Friday's game against Texas A&M Kingsville at Wantland Stadium.

The Bronchos are 64-of-129 passing for 539 yards in their first three games, averaging 43.0 attempts and 179.7 yards a game so far. Noohi is 37-of-82 (45.1 percent) for 340 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions. Gibson is 27-of-46 (58.7 percent) for 199 yards and one TD with three interceptions. Seven players caught at least one pass against TAMUK and 11 players have at least one reception for the season. Junior wide receiver Daniel Morrell led the receiving corps last week with seven catches for 97 yards, both career highs. Sophomore Kendall Hendricks also had career best for receptions (5) and yards (56). Morrell has 15 catches for 212 yards and a TD on the season, averaging 70.7 yards a game and 14.1 yards a catch.

Senior wide receiver Rick Montgomery (10-98) and junior running back Jason Palmer (10-28) also have 10-plus catches for the season. The Bronchos failed to generate much of a running game last week, managing just 20 yards rushing in 20 attempts against the Javelinas. It was UCO's worst rushing game since behind held to six • yards by TAMUK in 1997. The Bronchos are averaging only 52.0 yards rushing a game with 156 total yards in three outings. Junior running back Jason Palmer is the leading rusher with 89 yards in 23 carries. Senior end Freddie Harris had another solid performance last week, making six tackles (four solo) with a sack and another tackle for loss. He also forced a fumble, broke up a pass and had a quarterback hurry.
