UCO celebrates 103rd birthday

By Julie Dye Staff Writer

If UCO was a person, Willard Scott would already be on the scene.

Oct. 13 has been set aside this year to celebrate UCO's 103rd birthday, and in honor of the big day, one lucky student will win a $750 scholarship.

The scholarship is funded by student

activities fees, said Director of Student Activities Susan Thompson.

"It's paid for by students, so we're just giving some of their money back," Thompson said.

The Presidents Club, made up of student organization leaders, will man registration tables throughout campus beginning Sept. 27.

Booths close Oct. 5, when 103 names

will be drawn, Thompson said, to represent the 103 years of the university's history.

On Oct. 6, the drawing will take place for a $750 scholarship and the opportunity to ring the bell that started classes 103 years ago. Each of the 103 students will receive a $20 gift certificate from the university bookstore also. Additional drawings for cash and prizes will also be held at the "Bell Ringing" ceremony.

Thompson said the Edmond Chamber of Commerce also donated prizes to be given away to students during the celebration.

Students can sign up starting Sept. 27 in Old North; Sept. 28, Liberal Arts; Sept.

29, Howell Hall; Sept. 30, University Center, Oct. 3, Business North; Oct. 4, University Center; Oct. 5, Liberal Arts; Oct. 6, University Center.

Mud volleyball? Twister?

Homecoming festivities keep students in stitches with Laff Olympics "Whether we do well or badly, we're just doing it to have fun."

Senior Chris Harris, a management major, played on the Sigma Tau Gamma team, one of the four teams that made it to the final rounds.

"Sigma Tau Gamma does this every year," Harris said. "We won the volleyball tournament and the Laff Olympics the last two years."

Sigma Tau Gamma placed third in the tourney, but Harris said playing in the mud was "interesting," and especially enjoyed watching as a player was thrown into the goo.

The winning teams of each of the nine olympic games rack up points. Games continue through Friday, when a cheer and banner competition is held.

Banners are judged at 5:15 p.m. at Thatcher Lake. The cheer competition starts at 9 p.m. along with the bonfire and pep rally, held at Hamilton Field House.

At the end of the events, points are tallied, and the team with the highest score earns $450 for their organization.

It was a dirty game that had to be played.

The surprise was, everyone wanted to play.

The sometimes unsanitary climb to be the best was illustrated in full form Monday, when homecoming week kicked off with an elimination-round game of mud volleyball.

Teams of eight students from 12 organizations, including UCO fraternities and sororities, duked it out in the slime during the first official event of the Laff Olympics.

Mud volleyball is played differently than regular volleyball in that the teams don't keep score, said Misty Hughes of the University Center Activities Board.

Instead, individual players are eliminated for mistakes they make in the game.

"If they hit the ball out of bounds or serve to the net or don't get the ball when it's right there next to them, they're out," Hughes said.

"The last team who has someone standing wins."

Freshman biology education major Melonie Hendrick stood against four others as YSee RELATED SCHEDULE, Page 5 the last player on her all-woman Delta Zeta team.

"There was just a leaps into the air to hit a volleyball during the elimination rock in my way." mud volleyball games. The games, which are part of Although Hendrick lost the bout, Laff Olympics, were held south of Central Cafeteria she said she hoped to get even in the Monday.

AIDS NIPREPRE,SENTED THE FACT of CAREER AND

Commercial exposes Shedrick's Achilles' heel Who the hell cares that Bernice kicked off her heels and ran down her purse-snatching assailant and met him at the courthouse?

Try those tired of our story-spinning heads-of-state.

To Bernice Shedrick who was soundly trounced by ex-OU quarterback Jack Mildren, we thank you.

Thanks for using that delicious piece of fiction in your television campaign. Facts turned fiction were easily checked and revealed symptoms of instant flaws in your character.

Your story became even more entertaining when caught, you tried to wriggle off the hook like a prizewinning bass.

Amnesia? Really? You thought we'd buy that?

Your campaign was so sloppy you would allow a commercial touting your intolerance against crime based on an incident you "couldn't remember" to air hundreds of times before the fiction came to light. Is it a crime to lie on a commercial that's supposedly anti-crime?

Oklahoma voters, tired of having a chief executive in the Governor's Mansion who is an expert at massaging the truth, decided to remedy your candidacy with the allpowerful ballot box.

So we march toward Nov. 8, with our gubernatorial selections: Wes Watkins, a Democrat turned Independent and Frank Keating, the Republican candidate. And of course, there's Jack. And so far we know the Democratic candidate Jack Mildren can run and block—even score touchdowns.

But take notice, candidates. You can run, but you can't hide. The message of the voters was clear. Leave the fiction to the guys writing the bestsellers.

The homecoming story that ran on the cover of the Sept.13 issue needs correction. The parade begins at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, not 11 a.m. as originally stated. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Sean Ashby / The Vista

Redlands journalism instructor responds to censorship letter read with great interest and amusement the letter written by Redlands Community College student Brent Wilcox in your Sept. 13 edition.

I was particularly disappointed The Vista was not professional enough to seek me out for comment and verification.

As the adjunct newspaper instructor at Redlands, I could have responded to Mr. Wilcox's heavily biased account and pointed out that he conveniently omitted some significant details.

Production of the Redlands newspaper, The Journal, is tied into a one-hour class. Many of Mr. Wilcox's colleagues from last year had graduated, leaving us with an inexperienced staff of five people. Besides Mr. Wilcox, only one other student had worked on the paper last year.

She later withdrew from school for personal reasons.

In our only class meeting, I told Mr. Wilcox and his classmates that I would not interfere with the day-to-day operations of The Journal, but that I expected

/

stories to be done accurately and fairly. If I found a question or problem area in a particular story, I told the class that I expected it to be addressed. I never said at any time that Mr. Wilcox or anyone else couldn't write investigative or even critical stories, as long as they were done properly. This is good journalism, not censorship.

Mr. Wilcox failed to tell you that he had not even written a story this semester, let alone had one censored. In the one class session we had, no specific story ideas were discussed or discouraged. When he unexpectedly dropped the class, I tried to talk him out of it but was abruptly rebuffed.

I was essentially left with three students, two of whom had no journalism experience.

Because I believed that The Journal should remain a student publication, I recommended to President Larry Devane that the class be dropped this fall due to a lack of enrollment, not content, and be offered again next spring.

As for my qualifications that Mr. Wilcox has questioned, I have graduate and undergraduate degrees in journalism, in addition to nearly 10 years of professional experience. I was editorin-chief at Oklahoma City University's student paper, The Campus. I used Macintosh computers for my graduate work, and I work with layout and editing in my current full-time position at The El Reno Tribune. If Mr. Wilcox cared about Redlands as much as he claims, he should rethink his disinformation campaign. Redlands is a growing college with good students who have a lot to offer. Like any other institution of higher learning, there are places for improvement. But his inaccurate and misleading accusations are an insult to student journalists who face real problems with censorship. If Mr. Wilcox had paid attention in his other journalism classes, he might understand. —Josh D. O'Brien Instructor of journalism, Redlands Community College

Redesigned UCO budget fails the test SGA president redesigns budget, attempt number 2 unveiled-and knocked down

By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer

▪

Debate continued on the budget for the Student Government Association (SGA) in Monday's meeting as all previous proposals were rejected.

Last week's efforts by the SGA President, Ben Harris, to re-design the budget with an organization start-up fund failed in a budget committee meeting. The reason was that it contained SGA constitutional violations. ✓ "By these guidelines sent to us by the university, we cannot spend student government money on starting up organizations," said Jon Thompson, budget committee chairman.

Other violations existed in Harris' proposal. The constitution prohibits campus activity funds being spent as donations or contributions to outside organizations or charities.

For that reason Young Democrats and Collegiate Republicans could receive no money.

•

✓ In a new budget, proposed by the budget committee, Harris' idea to offer a contingency for the vice president was also deleted due to a lack of guidelines for spending.

"We have no problem with the vice president having a con-

tingency, it's just that the way the constitution is set up, there has to be a set of checks and balances," said Doug Redus, speaker of the house. ✓ The vice president will be asked to go beyond his duties and become more involved in recruitment, Harris said, explaining the reasons for the contingency.

"If we put in a fund labeled `recruitment,' then that won't be so hard (to pass) because it will be controlled by the student senate," Redus said.

Harris opposed the new budget proposal. He said he feels it is practically a duplicate of last year's budget.

"Every innovative and new and unique idea was thrown out for the status quo," Harris said, insisting that more money be appropriated for students than for SGA operations and awards.

and $200 for "sup"sup✓ The fund "student activities, special events and promotion" gained $1,400 dollars for a total of $7,403. The amount gained is only $100 less than the amount designated for an organization start-up fund in Harris' proposal.

The supplies/awards fund gained the $700 that was cut in Harris' proposal, however.

Although it was separated in two funds, $500 for "misc.

plies."

The copy charges/rental received a total of $1,500, an expense $500 over Harris' proposal and $300 over the previous year's expense.

The rental of a copy machine was the reason for the difference, Thompson said.

The budget committee's proposal was approved early in the meeting, however,

DL: September 21, 1994

✓ Although Harris' suggestions for new ways to spend the money were not used, several of his ideas for budget cuts were not affected.

The president's and speakers contingency were $700 less than last year. Also remodeling costs were left at $100, a reduction of $500.

Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) originally received a cut which resulted in arguments in the first budget proposal. OIL was awarded $800 in the revised proposal.

It was decided that OIL was an organization within SGA, therefore fully dependent on SGA's support.

The money saved in the committee's proposal resulted in increased funding in several other areas.

but met opposition as the new senators were sworn in.

"The senators that weren't sworn in yet, wanted their voice heard," Redus said.

Bomb scare temporarily threatens UC

By Jeff Billington Staff Writer What could have been an explosive situation quickly became diffused Monday when an alleged explosive device was found on Main Street in front of the visitor's parking lot near the University Center.

Sgt. Ted Jones, UCO Campus Police spokesman, said the device turned out to

be an oil well plug with a wire sticking out of it.

"The device was found on the road by one of our police officers, and she quickly notified us so we could notify the Edmond Bomb Squad," Jones said.

The Edmond Fire Department and the Edmond Bomb Squad were called to check on the probability that the device could have been a bomb.

The bomb squad X-rayed the device,

and found that there was metal in it.

The device was about a foot long, four inches across and had a cylindrical shape.

Students and faculty were stopped from going to their vehicles in the parking lot until the device had been taken away.

"I would rather inconvenience a few people than have someone hurt if it had turned out to be a bomb," said Jones. OD

The UCO chapter of Acacia fraternity was named "best young chapter" at their national conclave held July 28-30 in New Orleans, La. The award is based on growth over the past five years, academic achievement, and campus leadership, said Jason Bridgeman, Acacia president.

The winner is determined by the executive council of the Acacia fraternity and is based on a five-page application, Bridgeman said.

Input from other members was used for the essay portion of the application, Bridgeman said.

The UCO chapter competed with five other chapters for the award. Chapters include: University of Texas, John Hopkins University, University of Central Florida, Indiana University and Bloomsburg University.

Four chapter leaders attending the conference learned motivational skills and fraternity building advice in the morning and experienced Bourbon Street at night, said David Nasr, Acacia secretary.

"We got a lot of direction that we needed to focus on," Bridgeman said, explaining the difficulties in communication with the national headquarters.

Focus on getting the charter sometimes blurs new chapter's goals, a syndrome Bridgeman calls the "post chartering slump."

Bridgeman said he hopes the conference will help them to avoid that syndrome.

WORLD' Swedish leader resigns over crisis STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Conservative Prime Minister Carl Bildt resigned today, a day after voters brought back the Social Democrats to guide the country out of its economic crisis.

After a campaign dominated by economic issues, the Social Democrats captured 45.6 percent of the vote Sunday, according to late returns.

That's enough to return Ingvar Carlsson to the prime minister's post three years after being ousted by a conservative coalition. But it won't give his party an outright majority in the 349-seat Parliament.

The Social Democrats have held power for most the past 60 years. Their free spending built up Sweden's welfare state after World War H. But they campaigned like fiscal conservatives, promising fiscal control and limited cuts in public spending.

Sweden has a S170 billion national debt, a staggering sum for a country of only 8.5 million people. Unemployment has reached 14 percent, and there are signs inflation is heating up.

"The most important problems for us are fighting the economic crisis, stabilizing the national debt and bringing down the jobless rate," Carlsson said.

Reforms will be tough, however, without a majority.

Carlsson said there are only "slim chances" his Social Democrats will link up with another party to strengthen its position in Parliament,

Copter crashes in Greece, 7 killed ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A military helicopter crashed while carrying firefighters in northern Greece. killing its threeman crew and all seven passengers, officials said Sept. 16.

The UH-1H helicopter disappeared Thursday evening after taking off from Kavala to fight a forest fire near the town of Drama, the Defense MiniStry said.

Rescuers found the wreckage after an overnight search. The helicopter appeared to have hit power lines before crashing, a police spokesman said.

The helicopter was on loan to the Agriculture Ministry to help fight wildfires that strike Greece each summer.

Drama is about 230 miles north of Athens.

Lightning strikes same man twice ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — They say lightning never strikes the same spot twice. Tell that to Clifford Teigland.

Electricity coursed through Teigland's body for the second time in 14 years when lightning hit him as he inserted a key into the back door of his postal truck, Teigland doesn't remember hearing or seeing anything.

Witnesses said he was thrown 10 feet from the truck onto the pavement.

"I felt like something was pulling me into the vehicle," he said. "Then there was this guy standing over me telling me not to move."

Teigland, 35, spent two days in the hospital. The key chain holding the key for his truck was singed and melted. He doesn't know what happened to the keys.

Fourteen years ago„ lightning struck Teigland's car while he was outside the vehicle. He didn't realize the car held the electrical charge, and was tossed to the ground when he grabbed the door handle.

"That just felt like sticking my fingers in a light socket," he said. "This one is like if you stuck your whole head in the socket."

Nigh Gallery director travels to Houston, tracks down Chinese 'paper art' for show

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer Like a modern-day Marco Polo, Dr. Jo Ann Adams has journeyed far from home and returned with cultural treasures from China.

Adams, however, took an easier route.

As director of the Donna Nigh Gallery, Adams traveled to the Chinese Consulate in Houston Sept. 19 to select items for an upcoming exhibition at the UCO. The Chinese Cultural Exhibition will be on display Oct. 3 through Oct. 14 in the Donna Nigh Gallery.

Adams was assisted in Houston by Zhigang Wang, cultural consul for the Chinese Consulate.

"The people at the consulate were so friendly and so excited about us being interested," Adams said.

"He pulled out the art work and I tried to make some decisions about color and how they would work together in our gallery."

Adams chose to feature the ancient art of paper cuts, paper intricately cut with knives and scissors.

"It's amazing how much time it takes to produce one of these," said Adams.

Each of the 40 items that will be exhibited are current works.

"They were all made in the past five years," said Adams. "But it's a traditional style."

"The artists are very symbolic in that they like to involve nature in their events and use different types of animals to portray different events," said Adams.

The works that Adams selected were created by both professional artists and folk artists.

"The artists are very anonymous," said Adams.

"There aren't any famous ones but the work is excellent."

In addition to the paper cuts being exhibited,

Dr. JoAnn Adams (Staff Photo by David McNeese)

there will also be musical entertainment.

Plans were made at the consulate for two musicians to play at the reception Oct. 4.

Xiaoping Wu will play the harp and Changlu Wu will play the pipa, a guitar-like instrument from China.

Also, the Chinese Student Association will be performing activities.

"The people from the Chinese Consulate are all excited about this event. The three cultural consuls and the general consul will all be here for it," said Adams.

"I'm also excited because it's going to be a great show."

He comes home from work each evening and goes to bed like any other normal man.

The program was called "Windows." It was designed by Smith as a way to re-direct inmate idle time through interest-related arts, crafts,

The morning before I left for the prison I wondered if I should avoid concealed corners or empty hallways. I pictured a room with 10 or 15 meaty men with bald heads and grunting faces. I pictured armed guards parked at every exit.

On the two and a half hour journey to the prison, I glanced through the IPI and prison manuals while talking with Smith and Larry Church, a leather craft and saddle builder. He was also a volunteer artist.

Both Smith and Church were excons.

"So you're in good hands," Smith said laughing.

Smith drives a loaded Ford Explorer and boasts of $800 Tasmanian wool suits. He is successful, but leads only a fraction of the life he lived before going to prison for embezzlement.

The prison "rule book" coached on ethics. "Don't forget your purpose." "Don't allow yourself to be 'conned' into viewing correctional

"Don't give out your phone number or address," he said. "We'd hate for you to wind up with a list of longdistance phone calls from Hominy on your next bill," he said. met the prisoners in a whitewalled room smaller than most classrooms. A chalkboard, a marker board, four six-foot tables pushed together to form one big table, and several chairs were its only content.

The prisoners wore the same clothing—white T-shirts, blue jeans, and blue, button-down shirts or a combination of the three.

"Don't wear blue jeans or a blue shirt," Smith joked days earlier.

"That's what they wear. We wouldn't want them to mistake you for a prisoner."

Each man was distinct, however.

One black man stood a foot taller than the average man, with arms the size of some men's legs. Kevin was his name, I found out later.

They sat staring at me, their eyes hardened as if they were tired of being told what to do. The stink of cigarette smoke and dried sweat combined with classroom-type stuffiness.

What could I say that would make a difference in their day?

I spoke, telling the wisdom of journalism. I passed out photocopies of the photocopies I received in class and tried to mimic the methods of my professors.

The inmates listened, or pretended to listen. Some took notes while others shared an ashtray made from a license plate.

I spoke fast, stuttering a lot. I tried to tell a joke here and there. I remembered how I laughed at professors' jokes, funny or not, just to show my appreciation for their attempt. Some of the prisoners recognized my jokes and would smile during eye-contact, but most didn't seem to care.

An hour and a half went by. It was the first of four two-hour sessions and I was running out of rehearsed information. They had heard most of the basics.

"I'm about finished with this," I said. "I'm tired of talking and I'm sure you guys are getting tired of listening. Why don't we take a break and I'll work with some of you guys individually."

Nobody moved. They only fidgeted, as if waiting for me to finish.

Then it happened. Kevin leaned

forward, his eyes no longer dull, but inspired.

"I've been listening to what you said and that sounds like what I tried to do," he said. Kevin was an artist for the magazine. Like so many, he sat down one day and tried writing.

He wanted me to take a look at his article.

The prison's Programs Director, Ron Colliver, was sitting in on the class. He left to get the article. More prisoners leaned forward. More questions were asked.

They said they had problems finding topics. Things they felt were wrong couldn't be written about.

Prison papers suffer hardships.

They work with very limited funds and lack the benefit of the First Amendment. The warden has final say on what gets printed.

So, I told them about attribution and objectivity. I told them that if both sides were covered, the article wouldn't be biased and might have a better chance at publication.

The first session ended soon after. It was time for lock down, a time in which all prisoners are locked in their cells for a head count. occ is a medium security prison designed for about 400 inmates. There are over 1,000 inmates there now, so after lock down, they are released in shifts to the mess hall.

"We're going outside the prison for dinner," Smith said. We had not eaten since early day, yet Smith heard they were having fish.

"You don't want to eat the fish," he said. Smith remembered prison fish as square patties of ground-up fish and fish parts.

We decided to eat at the prison, partially on my request.

The mess hall held as many flies as it did prisoners. It smelled musty, as if a leak needed fixed in the roof.

The mess hall was for eating, with no carpet or fancy tables. Not even a picture hung on the wall. We arrived before the inmates.

The food brought back high school memories. The fish patties were not square, but triangular served with bread, a few thick fries and a glop of tartar sauce. A salad bar in the middle of the room featured cole slaw, potato salad and peas to complete the meal. It tasted good to me, but I was hungry.

The inmates began to enter in shifts. They came in all shapes and sizes. Some wore tattoos and holey jeans, strutting in and joking among

D

their peers. Others dressed neat, minding their own business.

As they took their seats, they separated by color. We were sitting on the black side of the room. Few prisoners acknowledged our presence after entering the cafeteria. I was "an authority," a term I began to recognize. utside the cafeteria, the prison yard resembled a college campus with flowers and well kept landscaping.

Kevin approached me once again in the yard, asking advice on his story.

We talked awhile.

In the next class session, I asked each inmate to rewrite a section of a story from the previous magazine.

They all finished the assignment before the next session.

"We had the time," one inmate joked.

I took doughnuts to them that morning. They all thanked me. Some of them hadn't had a real doughnut in a long time.

They all said they benefited from the class. By looking at them before and after the class, Church said he could see the difference in their attitudes.

"They seemed to be more motivated," he said.

The last class session entertained questions, answers and relative conversation. One inmate spent time interviewing Smith, Church and myself for a story in their next magazine.

Overall, once the tension faded, the inmates talked as normal people, treating me more like a friend than "an authority" "That tie you wore yesterday?

Don't ever wear it again," one inmate told me. "It looked like it came from an old couch." He couldn't believe people wore some of the ties I described, although the style might change again before he gets out.

They asked me what I would write about the prison. I said a lot of people might wonder what it was like on the inside.

The editor of the magazine joked that I could get a career-building story if I loaned him my badge and clothes for his prison attire.

"They're nice guys," Colliver said.

"One of them never even had a traffic ticket before he came to prison.

Some of them are just normal guys that made a mistake."

They were the bad guys, however.

The one that never had a traffic ticket was convicted of murdering his wife.

Another was labeled a serial rapist, unofficially due to the influence of crack cocaine.

What they will do when they get out, only time will tell. Perhaps they will end up there again. Perhaps they will learn a skill and stay away.

As I left the area, the razor wire sparkled in the sun. I hoped what I said helped them.

I spent only nine hours of two days behind a wellkept, correctional center. I was only a visitor.

But, I was glad to get out of prison. XD

Homecoming clash pits Bronchos against Lions UCO's Howard seeks 100th head coaching victory

By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

UCO harriers struggle at OC meet The Central Oklahoma men's and women's cross country teams competed in the Oklahoma Christian Invitational Saturday in Oklahoma City with the men placing a somewhat disapointing third and the women struggling for sixth place.

The men were led by junior Quendell Miller who finished 12th in 8K and sophomore Darrell Jeffries who finished 14th.

For the Lady Bronchos, sophomore Chericka Bartells finished 16th and freshman Lezlie Zielny finished 17th in the 5K.

This Saturday, the 13th ranked unbeaten Central Oklahoma Bronchos return home to face the unbeaten Langston University Lions, celebrating homecoming at UCO. Bronchos Head Coach Gary Howard has never lost to Langston since taking over at UCO in 1977. Howard's first victory as head coach came against Langston Oct. 15, 1977.

Saturday, Howard has the chance to join C.W. Wantland as the second Broncho head coach to have 100 victories. Wantland coached from 1912-30 and had a 105-45-17 career record. Howard currently boasts a 9972-5 in 18 years.

Langston is off to a 3-0 start, returning 13 starters from last season's 9-3 team that won the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference title.

This season, the Langston offense is averaging 444.3 yards a game in total offense and 36.8 points. The Lions are led by seniors Ed Daniels, quarterback, and wide receiver Ted Alford. The Daily Oklahoman called Daniels and Alford "the most potent passcatch combination in state small-college history."

Daniels, 6-3, 205, was a second-team NAIA All-American last year, passing for

2,968 yards and 32 touchdowns. This season Daniels is 42-of-72 for 712 yards and 10 TDs. Daniels saw limited action last week against Prairie View A&M due to an injured hand.

Alford sat out last week's game with an injured knee and will be back against UCO. Alford, a 1992 first team NAIA All-American, has caught eight passes for 132 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Running back LaMark Brim, junior, has 242 yards rushing on 39 carries.

The Lions' defense has given up an average of 23.0 points and 318.7 yards a game, 157.7 rushing and 161.0 passing.

On defense, Langston is lead by junior free safety Damion Wilson with 18 tackles and linebacker Sean Turner with 25 this year.

Last year the Bronchos defeated Langston 37-20, outscoring the Lions 18-0 in the second half.

UCO leads the series 26-5-1. The series was resumed last year after a five-year break.

The Bronchos own a 13-game winning streak in the series. The last win for Langston was 1973.

Out for the Bronchos this weekend are defensive tackle Travis Hildebrand (ankle), LB Blaine S torts (knee) is doubtful. LB Eric Brinkley (groin) and strong safety Richard Norman (knee) are probable.

was named Oklahoma's Volleyball Coach of the Year.

In 1990, Herrin led Collinsville to a second straight state title with a 29-9 record.

Arriving on the UCO campus just one month before the 1990 season opener, Herrin led the Lady Bronchos to an amazing 25-11 record, the best in school history.

1991 was a devastating year for Herrin and the Lady Bronchos.

They started the season 14-1 before being slowed by injuries to key players and the toughest schedule in school history to finish the season at 17-18.

UCO rebounded in 1992. The team finished with a 24-7 record highlighted by Amy Parten becoming the first Lady Broncho to make first-team All-Lone Star Conference.

Last year, Herrin led UCO to a 23-14 record including the longest win streak in school history, 11 games and was capped by Kristin Vincent being named a first-team All-LSC player.

The Lady Bronchos averaged 10 wins per season in the preHerrin era and are now averaging 22 wins a season.

Herrin has won at least 23 games in three of his four seasons.

Heading into his fifth year, Herrin was poised to hit the 100 win mark and did Sept. 17.

"We didn't use it as motivation," said Herrin. "I don't think the kids knew until the weekend."

The eight goals was UCO's highest scoring output of the season so far.

The Bronchos built a 4-1 lead only to surrender two goals by the Wolves in the final four minutes of the first half.

UCO, now 2-1, scored first in the second half, making the score 5-3. From there, the teams traded goals to reach the final score.

Besides Walsh's three goals, UCO also got two scores from Ryan Trenary and one each from Fabian Lagunes, Chris Marhen and Brian Colley.

"The key was that we had eight substitutes and they only had one," said Jalal Daneshfar, club sponsor.

"We could've scored more goals by making effective passes and making the other team tired, but

we didn't do that."

Nevertheless, the victory over the Wolves was impressive, said Daneshfar.

"They were a very talented and mature team that made us pay for our mistakes. We didn' tplay smart but we did play to win."

Teamwork counts in small amounts Two UCO students work together to help others get published Photo and story by David L. Hanigar Staff Writer

Alan Wize and Marilyn Ratzlaff discuss books from Ratzlaff's company.

Writing in French, one author wrote of African whorehouses. Which might be fine, except he intended to write of African fish hatcheries.

In French, only a hyphen separates the two.

UCO students, Marilyn Ratzlaff and Alan Wiseman founded and operate Writer's Warehouse, a company that catches errors like that.

"It's kind of like a big variety store for writers," Ratzlaff said.

Besides services designed to help writers market their work professionally, the company also offers custom- designed apparel and products.

Services the company offer range from editing and typesetting, to Spanish and French translation.

However, Ratzlaff emphasizes the importance of the submission service, a service that prepares writing pieces for publication and targets the markets most likely to publish them.

"A lot of people have no idea how to set up something like a synopsis. And if it's set up in the wrong style or manner, then they know you're an amateur and a lot of the times it's shot down before it even gets off the ground," Ratzlaff said.

Small things like margin length or typeset can influence a piece, Wiseman said.

Although the average price for the service is about a dollar a page, prices vary depending on the condition of the manuscript.

Some things have been given to her written longhand on a legal pad while others have been on disk ready to go, Ratzlaff said.

Writer's Warehouse also offers products designed especially for the writer. T-shirts, golf hats and other apparel sporting custom logos for different areas of writing are some examples.

With the selection growing rapidly, other products, such as jewelry and desktop carpentry, are being offered, Ratzlaff said.

Although editing and manuscript preparation can always help, Ratzlaff said some work is hard to market.

"The problem with fiction is that the competition is unbelievable. The average shelf life of a romance novel is only two weeks," Ratzlaff said.

Although she has handled fiction in the past, selfhelp books, travel books and other timeless work provide a better opportunity for beginners, she said.

A lot of work can be published from the home, Ratzlaff said. Writer's Warehouse helps writers set up self-publishing centers, a service Ratzlaff said she feels is unique.

Ratzlaff and Wiseman boast of the support and credentials of those involved with the company.

"We will not consider using anyone that is not highly educated in his field," Ratzlaff said.

Ratzlaff owns a publishing company, Ratzlaff and Associates, and claims 15 years of publishing experience. She is finishing a master's degree in creative studies at UCO. The back wall in her library displays shelves of books she has published. Some include: "Hero in a Bottle," a book used by Alcoholics Anonymous and a book on African tourism that was bought by an African embassy.

Wiseman is also pursuing a master's in creative studies at UCO. He mainly concentrates on the products, apparel and business end of the company, he said. OD

Music department holds jazz ensemble

By Jason Webb Staff Writer The UCO music department will host a jazz ensemble at 8:00 p.m. Sept. 26 in the University Center Ballroom.

The program will contain three different ensembles with a different director for each.

Kent Kidwell, chairman of the music department, will conduct the first band, Lee Rucker, director of bands and jazz bands, will conduct the second band and Doug Hansen, jazz band graduate assistant, will conduct the third band.

In previous years, the jazz ensemble has performed at the Wichita Jazz Festival, Edmond Sun Jazz Camp, the Arts Festival in Oklahoma City and the North Sea Jazz Festival in DinHaag, Switzerland.

"Although, this concert comes very early in the year, the band has had very good rehearsals up to now, and there seems to be a lot of depth in the areas of talent and experience. I think the crowd is going to be pleasantly surprised with the level of performance and the program they will hear on Monday," said Kidwell.

The ensemble is free to the public, and the doors will open approximately at 7:00 p.m. On

Chemistry additions ignite metamorphosis

By Anthony Tompkins

Staff Writer

We have added some courses and deleted others to better meet the needs of the students in the area of physics for both the graduate and undergraduate programs.

—Ron Miller New chairman, UCO physics department

It's nice that the class sizes are small. It allows me to interact with the students easier than I could at Alabama.

—James J. Dechter Former analytical chemist, New UCO professor

lI I've been here forever, I got my undergraduate and master's degree in physics here at UCO, and when they offered me a director's position in the lab, I accepted it" —John Keeth New UCO lab director

A

ddition and promotion are the latest equations for change in the college of math and science at

the UCO. The physics department had a change of direction at the beginning of the semester when Dr. Ronald C. Miller received a promotion from professor of physics to chair of the department.

The chemistry department changed with the replacement of Dr. David M. Hart, a retired chemistry professor, with Dr. James J. Dechter.

With the addition of a math and science lab came a new lab director, John Keeth.

The department has made many adjustments for the students so they can better pursue the degrees they are seeking, said Miller.

"We have added some courses and deleted others to better meet the needs of the students in the area of physics for both the graduate and undergraduate programs," said Miller.

The department has moved towards a more "traditional" course frequency schedule: courses are divided into "major" and "non-major," said Miller.

"Students seeking health degrees don't need the formal mathematical notation that is required by physics and engineering students.

"Formal presentations of Maxwell's formulas would be of great use to an engineer, but not to a physical therapist," said Miller.

Miller explained that being chair of the department is natural to him.

"It is easy to come to work because it is a joy to work with the faculty and staff of the physics department."

"Being chairman doesn't distance one from the students, but it distances one from the classroom because the chair doesn't teach a full course load," said Miller.

Miller said he looks forward to the construction of the new laboratory building for the college of sciences.

"It won't all be pleasant, but we look forward to being better able to serve the students," said Miller.

Dechter came to UCO last

month from the Atlantic Richfield petroleum company where he was an analytical chemist before cut backs led him to return to academia.

Before joining the oil industry, Dechter said he taught chemistry for several years at the University of Alabama.

"It's nice that the class sizes are small. It allows me to interact with the students easier than I could at Alabama," said Dechter.

Students at Alabama were also more traditional, whereas UCO students are commuters who have jobs and may have taken chemistry classes at other universities.

Keeth was promoted from adjunct professor of physics to director of the math and science computing lab at the beginning of the fall semester.

"I've been here forever. I got my undergraduate and master's degree in physics here at UCO, and when they offered me a director's position in the lab, I accepted it," said Keeth.

He taught physics at UCO for two years as an adjunct professor before taking the position as lab director.

"I see the lab primarily being used by calculus level physics students.

"Basically, we are filling a niche here at the university that was not met before," said Keeth.

The lab can help to prepare a graduate student for the workplace by exposing him to software used in the workplace, said Keeth.

Keeth applauded the efforts of Laura Crewe, coordinator of the Academic Support Services at UCO and Dr. Vernon R. Ribera, professor emeritus of computing science at UCO. "Laura Crewe set up the entire lab and Dr. Ribera set up and configured the software for the lab," said Keeth.

Keeth said he feels he is not as close to the student as he was as a professor, but he still enjoys teaching and plans to pursue his doctorate.

"I still identify with the students because is wasn't long ago that I was a student," said Keeth.

MATERIAL ISSUE Goin' Through Your Purse: Live In Chicago

L

istening to this live offering from Material Issue, I got the same chills up my spine that I got from Cheap Trick's Live At Budokan in 1979. Oddly enough, Rick Nielsen from Cheap Trick guests on the CD. From the opening introduction from Master of Ceremonies Nash Kato from Urge Overkill, to the closing cover of Sweet's Ballroom Blitz, Material Issue don't let up.

Recorded in the band's hometown of Chicago over the summer Goin' Through Your Purse spans the group's career in 10 songs. There is enough energy coming off this CD to power a small city and remind us how great a good live band is.

The performance is so energetic you feel as if you are there.

The songs are played with a sense of urgency, like seeing the Ramones live, giving GTYP the edge lacking from past studio efforts. This live record should convert all those who dismiss Material Issue as a lightweight pop band and show people Material Issue is one of the best live bands to come along since the Replacements in their prime.

Live records are usually used to fill time between records or close a chapter on a band's career. This is not the case with GTYP. It is a testament to three guys on a stage playing their hearts out.

tive voices in pop music today.

Before the Furs split in 1991, they created some of the most original music of the '80s. From songs like "Pretty In Pink," "Love My Way" and "The Ghost In You," the Furs could do no wrong.

Then in 1986 came the dismal Midnight To Midnight record knocking the wheels of the Furs juggernaut.

Butler is back with his new band Love Spit Love and a slightly different sound.

Where the Furs were often moody and one dimensional, Love Spit Love is more adventurously melodic.

"Seventeen" kicks off the record with a barrage of drums and wah guitar. The most interesting songs on this record are the slower ones such as "Half a Life" and the first single "Am I Wrong."

Most of the songs bear little resemblance to the Furs, mostly due to the guitar styling of Richard Fortus.

Throughout Love Spit Love, there is a sense of rebirth. Butler sings, "I don't want your talk, talk, talk" in the song "Superman." Could this possibly be a reference to the Furs best record Talk Talk Talk?

This could be the record that re-establishes Butler in the way that Scary Monsters did David Bowie. (Imago)

ACID BATH When The Kite String Pops

T

he first clue that this is an evil record might the cover art by infamous mass murderer John Wayne Gacy.

Acid Bath is not your typical "death metal" band, though they function quite well in that genre. What separates them from other bands in that vein is that vocalist Dax Riggs can actually sing.

Produced by Spike Cassidy of D.R.I. , When The Kite String Pops features all the hallmarks of "death metal:" stop–on–a–dime tempo changes and faster–than–you–guitars.

This album throws you many curves.

The band incorporates hardcore with Sabbath style dirges and the precision speed of Ministry or Megadeth.

Acid Bath is most impressive on the acoustical gothic song Scream of the Butterfly.

The band's playing is solid especially drummer Jimmy Kyle.

When The Kite String Pops actually has song, not just ultra-heavy riffs.

The variations and interesting movements will enable Acid Bath to sustain in itself in an already saturated genre.

LISA MEDNICK Artifacts Of Love rtifacts Of Love, the brilliant debut by Austin songwriter Lisa Mednick is a travelogue of affairs of the heart.

Mednick possesses a convincing voice that matches the prowess of her songs.

The record features strong personal lyrics stemming from past relationships and travels.

Artifacts Of Love encompasses various musical styles, folk, rock and New Orleans style blues, Mednick might be more well known for her work this summer with local country gods, the Red Dirt Rangers. She has also played with the Chills and Michelle Shocked.

It will only be a matter of time before Mednick is recognized for her talents alone. (DejaDisc)

RIDE Carnival of Light

A

fter 1992's disappointing album Going Blank Again, Ride practically disappeared from the American market. The band regrouped, enlisted producer John Leckie, and delivered the album of their career.

Carnival of Light, offers up a more tight, concise Ride. The band still sounds overtly British, but is more geared toward the song than the Valentine's inspired guitar heroics of past recordings.

Deep Purple keysman Jon Lord guests on the opening track "Moonlight Medicine," a six-minute dirge to psychedelics. The whole album is steeped in the '60s pop tradition of bands like the Byrds and the Creation, whose "How Does It Feel To Feel?" is covered. The album contains what might be their best song, "Crown of Creation," not the Jefferson Airplane tune, but a nice lilting ode to a girl.

Ride, often thought of as a singles band smashes this myth with Carnival of Light.

They prove that out of all the British bands who came out in 1990: Charlatans UK, Inspiral Carpets etc., Ride has the chops to sustain themselves through the `90s.

An excellent British pop record. (Sire)

Radio pioneer sets the airwaves straight

By Jason Webb Staff Writer

"I'm 72. I've forgot a lot, but a lot I remember."

The elderly man, dressed in his red, pull-over shirt, baggy, off white shorts and white tennis shoes, walked down the hall and into his office.

More of a sanctuary than an office, it is filled with autographs of the rich and famous and momentos from his past.

With the social elite,past and present, looking on from the surrounding walls, Edwin Nall explained why he is considered a pioneer of FM radio in Oklahoma.

Nall said he could remember in 1925: "A guy by the name of Fred Webb had a lot of gadgets

and plugs and everything, and he put some headphones on me. I could remember hearing music and about Lindbergh's flight. It

playing.

Nall explained that FM radio waves go straight, they are line of sight, as opposed to AM

A guy by the name of Fred Webb had a lot of gadgets and plugs and everything, and he put some headphones on me. I could remember hearing music and about Lindbergh's flight. It fascinated me. —Edwin Nall 0 Radio pioneer

fascinated me."

About 1937, Webb acquired a record player, and played records in his Waurika drugstore.

When cars drove by with their radios tuned to a certain frequency, they could hear the record

waves, which he described by using his desk.

"AM radio is like pouring syrup all over my desk here. It runs in and out here," he said pointing to the pens, paper clips, rubber bands and scissors, "and

Newton's Apple 'drops in' on UCO faculty & students UCO students and faculty as well as local high school students and the general public will get a chance to take a bite out of Newton's Apple during the college of math and science's "Salute to Education" celebration.

David R. Heil, host of the Emmy award-winning public television show Newton's Apple, will make several appearances Nov. 8 on the UCO campus.

Heil will hold three sessions while at UCO. During the first session from noon until 1 p.m.,

he will speak to university faculty and students. The second session will run from 4-6 p.m., during which Heil will address junior high and high school students, and the last session is scheduled from 8-9:30 p.m., during which he will speak to the general public, said Dr. William Caire, assistant dean and professor of biology at UCO. During Heil's visit he will discuss a number of topics including "Living in a New Age of Science and Science Technology," "Expedition,

Discoveries and Adventures," and "Extending Invitations for Lifelong Science Learning," said Caire.

Heil is an award winner in the field of science education with a broad background in biology, physics and education. He has written numerous books and articles, and is active in organizations such as the American Association of Museums and the World Future Society.

Traditional college courses being offered on Saturdays include classes in finance, general business, management and

it makes noise."

Later, Nall convinced a restaurant owner to buy a record player and equipment.

marketing. Courses are offered in both morning and afternoon sections.

"This semester is somewhat of a test to gather information on the success rate of weekend classes," said Laura Gruntmeir, director of evening/weekend studies.

There are also workshops

held on Saturdays on the campus of UCO. Some of the workshops include early childhood education and library media education.

For more information on the weekend classes, contact Gruntmeir in the UCO library, Room 202A or call 341-2980, Ext. 2758.

"We put up a sign and said `Tune your radio to so-and-so.'

So people listened to radio there," said Nall.

Nall later joined the military, and when they discovered he was color blind, they sent him to

radio school in Madison, Wis. He was then shipped to Illinois, and then to an army base in Ardmore, Okla.

After the military, Nall had a long career at Oklahoma City University, where he set up the OCU Network.

He recalled the best day of his career, "When we broadcasted out of Madison Square Garden, we were low on funds, so I put a man on a Greyhound and shipped him up there. That was the first year NYU went to NIT (National Invitational Tournament)."

Now that Nall has retired, he has more time to devote to his hobby, autograph collecting.

Since 1939, Nall has collected over 10,000 autographs.

"When I'm 75, I may sell them at an auction, and start traveling around the world."

National Science Foundation lauds professor, helps update physics department Dr. Weldon Wilson, assistant professor of physics, and Dr. David Martin, professor of physics at UCO, submitted a proposal that has won an award from the National Science Foundation.

The award, which totals $37,212, will be used to purchase new laboratory equipment for improving instruction in undergraduate science courses at the university.

The equipment purchased will include 22 Pentium microcomputers, four 24-pin dot matrix printers, two overhead

computer display panels for microcomputers and MS Excel spreadsheet software and Maple V for computers.

According to the wording of the proposal, titled "A Distributed Computational Physics Learning System," the award provides for the "[the modernization of] the physics program at UCO by introducing a computitional physics component into the curriculum designed for physics, pre-engineering and majors in other sciences."
