Hundreds turn out for date rape mock trial by Joseph Wertz Staff Writer

■ Bathroom graffiti is everywhere on campus. the bathroom wall that is. And while some at UCO choose to solicit political views, make declarations of love, arouse the prurient interest or simply cause mischief, men's bathroom walls on campus seem to be repeatedly visited by those who feel compelled to make their innermost thoughts known through acts of vandalism. "It's frustrating, it's a hassle, and you wish you could stop it," said Charlie Johnson, University Relations news bureau director. However, when Johnson looked into the matter, he said that the university's coffers were not being drained by graffiti vandals. "It's not costly, to put it into perspective," Johnson said. "You generally just paint over it" At the Nigh University Center, Johnson said it costs an estimated $20 each year to cover bathroom graffiti in the building. "It just takes the stroke of a brush," Johnson . said, "(but) it takes labor. You have to pay the people doing the work." So why do people write on bathroom walls? Dr. Lorry Youll, a UCO associate professor of psychology, views the practice of defacing bathroom walls as a form of acting out, without personal accountability. "There is a pretty high level of anonymity," she said. "You can write something on a bathroom wall that you wouldn't ordinarily say." As to why UCO's men's rooms seem to be visited by vandals more often then women's, Youll attributes it to the tendency of males to be more aggressive than females. "Men in general tend to be

More than 450 people attended the "Date Rape Mock Trial" on Sept. 22 in Constitution Hall. The Student Counseling ,Center and the Office of Graduate Studies pregented the mock trial. "The trial went very well," said Jan Chapel, coordinator of the Student Counseling Center. "The prosecution Etas been doing this for over 10 years and is very knowledgeable." Sarah McAmis an Oklahoma County assistant district attorney in the Sex Crimes Division acted as the prosecutor. Ryan Houser, an Oklahoma County assistant public defender in the Juvenile Division participated as the defense attorney. Two UCO theatre students participated in the trial. Stacy Kettner acted as the plaintiff and Tim Burg as the defendant. Dr. John Garic, associate dean of the Jackson College of Graduate Studies and Research directed and judged the trial. "Several classes attended the trial, and the audience was very mixed," Chapel said. "This is the fifth or sixth trial we have had, and they have all been a success."

often bungled. For example, the word 'maybe' can be found spelled `mayb,"religion' in one instance is spelled `rielegion,"worshipping' is `worsheping,' and in bright red marker, the phrase, "Why say something else if it already been said better," speaks volumes about the anonymous author. Ironically, all of this graffiti is from the same men's bathroom stall. There are many inscriptions that are just plain humorous for their oddity or ignorance. One particular inscription on a stall in the Communications Building, that can actually be printed, began with the first party writing, "wrestling rulz," to which another party marked a bold "X" through wrestling and wrote "football." Then, what appears to be a third party came along and wrote "UCO" above the first line so that there would be no confusion as to which football or wrestling program was being discussed and, in fact, "rulz." Then again, what may even be the most disturbing aspect, are the messages or images that are carved into bathroom stalls, which must indicate that some people are carrying knives or other sharp objects into campus restrooms. And though no end may ever be in sight, an old bathroom wall adage that reads, in printable terms: "They paint these walls to rid my pen, but the bathroom poet strikes again," may extinguish any hope for those with the task of covering bathroom musings with paint, in the years to come.

Bronze & Bold ■ UCO alumnus Joel Randell was chosen to sculpt the likeness of Lafeyette for the West Virginia city named for him. by Kelley Chambers Staff Writer

Joel Randell, a UCO graduate, stands by his bronze sculpture of Marquis de Lafayette."

Sculptor Joel Randell, a UCO graduate, will travel to Fayetteville, West Virginia for the unveiling of his sculpture of the "Marquis de Lafayette" on Sept. 25. Randell, who graduated with an art education degree in 1997 and lives in Edmond, submitted his portfolio to a West Virginia committee that was choosing a sculptor. "They called me after reviewing my portfolio," Randell said. "Everybody on the committee reviewed it and approved." The six- foot one inch bronze sculpture will stand on a five-foot stone pedestal in front of the Fayette County Courthouse. Lafayette visited the area, in the southwestern portion of the state in the mid 1820's, and in 1831 the town was named after him. History says Lafayette aided American colonists during the American Revolution and was a friend of both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Randell first cast the

sculpture in modeling clay, and then wax at the Pawhuska Foundry in Pawhuska, Okla. Overall, he said the sculpting process took about one year from start to the installation in West Virginia this weekend, and cost

around $30,000. "They wanted him captured in his younger years," Randell said, "I chose my primary reference from a portrait of him painted by Charles Wilson Peale, that was commissioned by George Washington." In a town with less than less then 3,000 residents, dignitaries to attend the unveiling will include several former West Virginia governors and a representative

of the French Ambassador to the United States, Randell said. Dr. Bob Palmer was one of Randell's art professors while at UCO. "Joel's one of our prodigies," Palmer said. "He was always very good, going above and beyond the assignments." Palmer did not know about Randell's "Lafayette" sculpture, but said he is very anxious to see it. Randell praised both the UCO art program, and the faculty for helping him to learn skills in sculpturing and 3-D arts. "Being at UCO was where I got my biggest opportunity to explore figure sculpting," Randell said. "UCO has been a great launching platform for my career." Randell's next project, which is currently in the works, is a statue of Charles B. Hall, a member of Oklahoma's Tuskegee Airmen from World War II. The bronze casting will greet visitors at the entrance to an airpark named for Hall, at Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Kudos to The Vista for your editorial, "University should place priority on Old North renovations." As a UCO graduate, my earliest memory of Old North Tower was as a six-year-old who entered the north door and sat at a desk in Miss Binyan's first grade class. I did not know I was in Oklahoma's oldest building of higher learning. Elementary classes there were known as the Training School; while we had professional teachers, it was also a lab for student teachers. It was where I learned the "three R's." The next year I moved across the hall to be taught by Winifred Stayton who, until her death a few years ago, was a legend in elementary education. Last winter I was dis-

appointed to learn that UCO had been unsuccessful so far in obtaining the $6 million funding to fix Old North. But as an alumnus and former Vista editor, I am overjoyed to read of your call to students to go for a fund-raising campaign. If you can get students behind it, how could UCO's other stakeholders (alumni, Foundation, Administration, faculty, Edmond community leaders and maybe governmental bodies) not be persuaded to join students in a gallant movement? The Vista's effort puts new meaning to the adage, "Better to light one candle than curse the darkness." —John Wendell Simmons, Jr., Tulsa

MY TURN: Lane Perry Can you feel it? Do you know about it? There are some huge changes occurring at UCO and one of the largest is happening on the north side of campus. Broncho sports are all being taken to the next level. These athletes work hard day in and day out preparing for game day, and many of them are our fellow classmates and friends. ITS GAME DAY!! Football built Oklahoma, and is building a new foundation for UCO. Game day is here and we too need to be here supporting our team. Ranked 10th in the nation and undefeated, that is something to be proud of. We as a student body should also be proud of this. Brag about it, cause some ruckus, go crazy in the stands, that's what we need. This is Central Oklahoma, and this is football. This weekend is the most crucial game of the season. Tarleton State University was just upset by

Abilene Christian and is on its way up to play here, our turf, our fans, our team, and most importantly our support. I charge the student body as a whole to take a couple hours of their Saturday night and support your team at Wantland Stadium. Cheer on your Bronchos to victory. Make the most of your time here at UCO. The best way to enjoy your college experience is to become a part of something that is bigger than you, student life. Our football team is part of that student life here at UCO, so get involved. Get involved by wearing Bronze and Blue this Friday to support your Broncho Athletes and on Saturday come support your Bronchos and I guarantee you will have a blast! —Lane Perry UCOSA, Student Body president

People all over _,the Zarqawi led militants beheading the American hostage Eugene Armstrong. It is relatively difficult to find the video, which isn't shown on cable television due to the extreme graphic content. So the search gave me plenty of time to re consider if this is something I JOSEPH WERTZ really wanted to witness. I could COLUMNIST go my entire life without seeing the video. It would be easy to avoid and simple to put out of my world are living these horrors mind. People are hesitant to even every day and will be re living talk about it, and the discussion is them for the rest of their lives.

childhood out of car bombs, security checkpoints and tanks. Many of these children never have the chance to grow up. Russia, Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan... America. No one will be isolated for long. Is it just a matter of time before these types of inhumanity directly impact the lives of everyone? I think everyone should see the video and experience other people's tragedy. We need to stop refusing to let ourselves be bothered with these things. We should voluntarily upset ourselves. Everyone remembers what it was like on Sept. 1 I . The entire country had the same feeling, watching their TVs and thinking,

"This can't be real." You get the same feeling watching the videos of beheadings, or Chechen rebels slaughtering school children. The feeling is sickening and human. We can debate the war in Iraq and the details of America's foreign policy, but being a global power means taking the good with the bad. The war on terror is at the forefront of American politics. It is sure to be a part of every televised debate and every campaign rally. Both Bush and Kerry know that terrorism is something we will have to deal with as Americans and are playing both sides of the issue. We need to make sure the president we elect wants to share

in the tragedy of the world, because you never know when we will need the support of more than Americans. We need to seek out these horrible things, because they are real. And only if we share in the real tragedy of real lives can we all be on the same grounds to prevent these things from becoming everyday reality for everyone. In our short time on earth, everyone experiences loss. The entire world needs to share in these tragedies, so we can realize how senseless they are. We owe it to ourselves to keep our eyes open, because closed eyes are closed minds.

"Mr. 3000" more grounder than homerun

MOVIE REVIEW by Eric Osborn

"Mr. 3000" Starring: Bernie Mac, Angela Bassett Directed by: Charles Stone III

Traditionally in film, the month of September has been a dumping ground for the movies that studios don't believe are good enough to make money during the summer or holiday ticket seasons. This usually doesn't bode well for movie going audiences because the studios are usually right. This brings us to "Mr. 3000," a movie that doesn't really have much going for it other than a single vibrant comedian. But Bernie Mac proves a little can go a long way. It's hard not to like this film. "Mr. 3000" is Bernie Mac's first foray into solo filmdom as major league baseball veteran Stan Ross, big time slugger and big time jackass. After Stan Ross achieves his coveted 3000 hit benchmark, he quits his team mid-penant run with less than nice words to say about his teammates and the sports media. He decides he would prefer to carry out the next decade reveling in the spoils of celebrity. Then comes the plot twist. After years of campaigning to become of member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, a recount of Mr. 3000's hits suddenly makes him Mr. 2997. Knowing that "Mr. 2997" doesn't have the same ring to it, Stan Ross reenters the big leagues to reclaim his title. He quickly learns that a lot has changed not only within the game, but also within himself. All of those years of berating his team and the media has left him truly alone, fighting for a cause no one but him cares about. One of the causes of this revelation was sportscaster Mo Simmons, portrayed by the beautiful Angela Bassett. Ross's re-admittance into the major leagues has made him a story worth covering by the media and by Mo Simmons. She was

Unfortunately for Ross, the Major Leagues are still pretty major, while his swing belonged in the dugout. Stan Ross quickly became 0-57 at bat, and his dream of hitting 3000 hits seemed less possible. It is then Stan Ross takes to the desperate measure of being a team player. "Mr. 3000" is obviously striving to be a star vehicle. Fortunately, Bernie Mac has enough personality to go around. It's too bad that the rest of the film doesn't have as much energy as he

does. The supporting cast doesn't reach beyond their stereotypes, which hurts the film because none of them are that interesting to begin with. Angela Bassett portrays the 'woman scorned' well enough, but to no fault of her own does her character not carry any surprises. The film doesn't strive to be much more than just a baseball movie, either. It would have been just as comfortable to watch on the small screen. To its credit, the script sidesteps some clichés; the requisite training sequence is very brief and the ending keeps the sentimentality to a minimum. The film also does a fine job of integrating

HE ROUNDERS The release of a new blues album waits like muddy waters at the mouth of a darn ready to open wide. The Rounders will release their second album, "Now-a-day songs," this Saturday at Galileo's. The follow-7up to "Itty Bitty Can of Worms" is blues at its best. Simply. And I challenge anyone who claims to appreciate good music, beyond genre boundaries, to not enjoy themselves while listening to the album while sitting outside on the porch, sipping on any kind of cold beverage as the slinky sounds escape from the speakers on your little black boom box. But don't let the beverage influence your decision about the CD. If necessary, make it a water. There are many high points on the album that seem to subconsciously suggest to your leg to start tapping or else horrible things might happen. As with the first release, the vocals are there prominently. To boot, in the second round, the lyrics are much tighter — almost like a Japanese haiku — short, sweet...contain much truth. Along those same lines, the music behind the voice has

The overall outcome is an enjoyable one and almost makes having the blues not seem so bad, if this album is a by-product of "the blues." "Now-a-day songs" is definitely a driving album.

It's too bad Bernie Mac wasn't given more challenging material, but "Mr. 3000" is very watchable all the same. The jokes are sitcom quality, and they slide in and out of your memory. Save your ticket money and wait for the rental. "Mr: 3000" is a somewhat run-of-the-mill comedy swinging for a grounder more than a home run.

by Brandon Chatmon

The Central Oklahoma women's golf team battled back from a seven-stroke deficit to win the Northeastern State University Lady Reds Classic in Muskogee on Sept. 20 and 21. The defending Lone Star Conference champion Bronchos earned their first regular season tournament win with a 313 total on the final day. Three rounds in the 70s helped UCO to a one-shot victory over the University of Central Arkansas. The Bronchos finished with a 632 total, followed by UCA's 633, Southern Nazarene University's 634 and Oklahoma City University's 635. Ashley Kelley and Emily Kirk each finished with finalround 77s. Claire Sturdivan was right behind them with a 78. Kelley finished third individually with a 155 total, while Kirk was sixth with a 156 total. On Sept. 20, the Bronchos were in third place after day one with a 319 total, trailing UCA by seven. OCU was in second after the first day at 317. Kelley led the Bronchos with a round-one 78, followed by freshman Kirk's 79.

The No. 7-ranked Central Oklahoma (4-0) football team hosts No. 18-ranked Tarleton State (3-1) in a critical Lone Star North game at 6 p.m. Saturday at Wantland Stadium. The winner of the battle between the preseason favorites in LSC North, becomes the favorite to win the division. UCO is coming off a 34-20 win over Angelo State on Sept. 18, while Tarleton was knocked off 31-14 at home by Abilene Christian. UCO topped ASU, despite their worst rushing output of the season, gaining 93 yards and averaging 2.7 yards per carry. The Rams forced UCO to pass, resulting in 100-yard performances by Cedric Jones and Zach Edwards. Broncho quarterback Justin Allgood threw for 327 yards in the win. UCO turned the ball over four times and committed 17 penalties for 161 yards. Defensive touchdowns from Tyler Ellis and Bernard Moore, a strong pass rush and the passing of Allgood helped the Bronchos overcome their mistakes for their fourth win of the season. No.7-ranked TSU fell out of the top 10 after ACU jumped on the Texans early, taking a 31-0 halftime lead in their upset win. The Wildcats scored on five of their first eight possessions and rushed for 243 yards in the first half. A 21-point second quarter, including a 73-yard punt return by Danieal Manning, and three Texan turnovers contributed to TSU's first loss of the season. The unranked Wildcats (2-1) fell 49-24 to UCO in their meeting on Sept. 4 at Wantland. TSU halfback Derrick Ross rushed for 190 yards on 32 carries against ACU. TSU boasts the top rushing offense in the conference averaging 224.0 yards on the ground. The Broncho defense is ranked second in the LSC in rush defense allowing 81.2 yards. UCO tops the LSC in total offense, gaining 440 yards per

game, while TSU is No. 1 in total defense, allowing 230.8 yards per game. The No. 1 and No. 3 scoring offenses collide Saturday with the Bronchos averaging 39 points a game, while the Texans average 27.5. TSU has the top-rated pass defense, allowing 132.5 yards per game, while UCO ranks No. 1 in pass efficiency at 157.8.

Allgood is fourth in the LSC with 224.8 yards passing per game and No. 1 in efficiency at 169. Edwards ranks second in the conference in receptions (6) and yards (93), while Jones ranks fourth in receptions (5.75). Moore sits atop the conference in interceptions, with three.

The difference in the contest could come on third down. The Bronchos rank second in the LSC in third-down percentage at 50 percent, while TSU ranks Ilth at 28 percent. Ross leads the conference in rushing with 209.3 yards per game, while Jarrod Manoy is seventh at 75.8. In addition, Ross leads the LSC in scoring at 14.7 points per game.

Lindsay Hull kicks the ball in the Bronchos game against Northeastern State.

MO heads to Texas by Harry Gatewood III Sports Writer

The UCO Soccer team will face Angelo State University on Friday in San Angelo, Texas and Midwestern State University on Sunday in Wichita Falls, Texas. The Bronchos are coming off a one-goal loss to North Florida University, heading to the Lone Star State for two conference tilts. The No. 20-ranked Bronchos are 5-2 this season. UCO had a close game with the Angelos last year, winning in a double-overtime encounter. The Bronchos knocked off the Rambelles with a 3-2 victory in 2003. So far, the season has been tough for the Rambelles, who have record of 3-2. The Bronchos have an overall record of 5-1 against ASU. Last year, ASU reached the LSC post-season tournament, earning their second winning season in school history. It was the first time in five years that the Rambelles earned a trip to the LSC tourney. The Rambelles are looking to improve on a 10-8-2 overall record and 4-3-2 conference record during the 2003 season. ASU Coach Tom Brown has a record of 53-60-12 for the Belles in a seven-year

term. ASU has eight returning starters, including six seniors. Senior Lisa Carey is a three time All-LSC performer. Carey, the Belles goalkeeper and three-year standout, has posted eight shutouts and had a 1.21 goals- against average to earn second-team all-conference honors in 2003. Senior Shana Brown ranked eighth in the league last season in goals scored. Pamela Bradley is another strong threat for ASU. Bradley, the senior midfielder, was a 2003 All-LSC second team performer. Joining the Rambelles are midfielder Angela Chavez and Heidi Bentley. Chavez earned the Orange Empire Conference MVP. Chavez also claimed the OEC offensive MVP honor. Bentley was named to District Six-Four as an MVP and named an all-region player while starring at Crowley High School in Texas. On Sunday, UCO will face the MSU Lady Indians (4-11). The Indians open LoneStar Conference play Wednesday at home, against Southwestern Oklahoma. The MSU women's soccer team is projected to finish fourth in the race for the Lone-Star Conference championship this year. The Indians received 174 points in balloting by the

league's head coaches, sports information directors and various media representatives. UCO is ranked ahead of MSU in the early 2004 season polls. MSU's Megan Dodson finished second, to West Texas A&M's Sarit Shenar in balloting for pre-season player of the year. The junior from Wichita Falls was a first team allconference selection a year ago, and is already third on the Indians all-time points and all-time goals scored list. The LadyIndians, return seven starters from a team that won 12 games a year ago. The Lady Indians defeated eventual semi-finalist Metro State University of Colorado and lost to UCO in a 16 qualifier in double overtime in 2002. It has been five years since MSU has won the LSC championship. The Lady Indians had 17match home unbeaten streak and goalkeeper Elli O'Dwyer's streak of not giving up a goal ended at just over 512 minutes against Harding (Ark). Defense is the key for the Lady Indians. The Lady Indians return the most successful coach in MSU history in Jeff Trimble. Trimble is at the helm for his seventh season with MSU.
