Both modalities, the MegaPulse II Shortwave Diathermy and Precision Micro Current Electrical Muscle Simulat N, will serve as valuable training additions to the current curriculum, he said.

Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day,"

A world renowned author, juggler, consultant and inspirational speaker spoke to the UCO community.

Michael Gelb, a former professional juggler who once performed with artist such as Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, spoke and hosted a workshop as part of the "Everyday Genius: Finding Your Genius" event. It was the first of several creative series events to be hosted by UCO creative Leadership Council.

that could help students make the process of studying easier. It could also help students improve their memory and have fun in the process.

Gelb said he had been teaching in the Creative Learning filed for a while before the book was created.

He explained how he was invited to speak for the Young President's organization in Washington, D.C. Yet he knew the group was hosting an event in Florence, Italy. He said Florence was his favorite city and he wanted an invitation to speak at that event.

After he finished speaking in Washington, he was approached by the education chair from Florence and asked if he were invited to Florence what would he speak about, Gelb said.

"I looked him right in the eye and I said how about how to think like Leonardo da Vinci," Gelb said.

Gelb said he was asked if he could really present a topic about how to speak like da Vinci.

Sophomore Emily Leahy defeated her odds of developing diabetes and overcame asthma by changing her eating habits. The Peer Educators Program is hosting UCO Campus Cook, a program inspired by Leahy's story.

Leahey said when she was in high school; she couldn't concentrate in school and had terrible health. She couldn't retain information from her classes, and felt tired every day. But it all changed when she set foot in her kitchen.

She started to prepare healthy meals, and soon she saw a major change overall.

"When I started to make my own meals, I saw how much improvements I was making," she said. "My health was better, I could concentrate in school, plus I saved lots of money."

Leahey said that making healthy choices is the key; it will help boost your metabolism and keep you energized.

She said the main reason students make unhealthy choices is because of money.

"Money is the root to their diet," she said. "Students don't know how to budget. Students don't realize by making healthy Meals, it can last you a week unlike a meal from the dollar menu. We hope with this program we can get students into a healthy high that will motivate them to make healthy choices that will affect them in the long run."

The UCO Peer Educators are a group of students trained by the Wellness Center Health Education staff to motivate, educate and interact with other students in promoting a healthy

lifestyle.

"Its students helping students," Tim Woods, Peer Education Coordinator said. 'This program is a small step that students can take to start making healthy choices. Life is all about choices anyways."

Peer Educators promote programs that help bring awareness on topics such as health, sexual, alcohol and fitness education.

And UCO Campus Cook is part of the program.

Leahey will be making Spanish tortillas, and she will show step by step the process of making a healthy meal.

She said a healthy diet has to have whole grain, fiber and vitamin C. Leahey is not only passionate for a healthy lifestyle, but is also a dedicated golfer for the UCO team and is passionate about GIVE. GIVE is a student organization to help rescue Joseph Kony's child soldiers in Uganda. They want to bring awareness in the kidnapping of children, and forcing them into war in Africa.

Leahey said that she wants to help as much as she can.

"We are all in this together," she said.

Peer Education will be hosting UCO Campus Cook for the next three months. The event is free for all students and faculty to attend.

GELB

Continued from page 1

British skydiver built da Vinci's parachute using material available in da Vinci's time to recreate the parachute the inventor drew in his notebook and it worked. Gelb said one way to increase curiosity is to keep a notebook or journal like da Vinci.

Da Vinci's journal was unorganized because his mind was free and he was able to move from one subject to the other and make connections that have not been made before, Gelb said.

Students can make a journal and draw doodles and write whatever they want to write, Gelb said.

The first accurate drawing of the embryo in the womb was done by da Vinci because he wanted to know the secret of life, Gelb said. "Curiosity is the begining."

The second principle is Dimostrazione, which translates into demonstration.

"It's the word Leonardo used in his notebooks to refer to the process of thinking for yourself," Gelb explained. "To cultivate independent thinking."

The challenge of independently thinking during the time of da Vinci was the lack of information. "Books were rare," Gelb said. Da Vinci taught himself Latin to read classics as they became available.

According to Gelb the challenge to independent thinking today is too much information. "How do you cut through the tsunami of spam and really think for yourself?" Gelb asked.

The third principle is Sensazione, which means sensation.

"Leonardo said the five senses are the ministers of the soul," Gelb said. "He trained his sensory awareness like an Olympic athlete trains their body for cornpetition."

"Five hundred years ago, in Tuscany, Leonardo wrote that the average person `looks without seeing, hears without listening, touches without feeling, breathes Photo by Byron Koontz in without awareness of aroma or fragrance, eats without tasting, and talks without thinking, — he said. "And that Michael Gelb signs of his book, "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci." Gelb spoke to UCO about "Finding your Gewas 500 years ago in Tuscany!

Chemical Health Science junior Lacey Smith studies mammology with one of the Mexican Free-tailed bats used in Eileen Parks and Kerstin Allison's study on the bats' ears.

Rounded tubercles were regularly interspersed in a unique row along humpback whales flippers.

Researchers have found that the tubercles significantly increase the whale's hydrodynamic efficiency.

The study done on whale fins suggests that it may possible to replicate the diesign on aircraft wings and wind turbines to make them faster and more effective.

Researchers have studied bats before, Parks and Allison explained, but no studies have focused on the function of the bumps.

"It would be a big deal if we figure this out," Parks said.

Although the two have done research together, their roles are quite different.

Allison measures the distance between the bumps and counts them. The measurements are taken in micrometers, so it has to be done carefully, Allison said.

Parks measures the volume of the bumps and compares the measurements to other Mexican Free-tailed Bats studied in the lab.

The bats are analyzed under a microscope that is hooked up to the computer in the UCO science lab.

Working with the bats has not always been easy for the two.

"Trying to figure out how to position the bats so we can get a picture was a challenge.," Allison said.

"It's sort of trial and error," Parks said.

"That's what research is ... you see what works and what doesn't."

The female Mexican Free-tailed Bats are easy to work with, Allison said. But the males are more difficult.

"We've torn a few ears," Allison said.

The bats ears have to be stretched out so a good view of the bumps can be seen under the microscope. Since the bats are kept in alcohol, the ears quickly dry out from being exposed to air.

"The bats that we get, we keep them in a jar of alcohol," Allison said.

Parks and Allison said the bats come from Biology professor Dr. Bill Caire's collection, featured in the UCO Science Museum.

"When people hear about the study they always ask 'Are they alive?"' Allison and Parks said.

Allison said people typically think the bats are kept in cage, or they're flying around the lab when they examining them under the microscope in the lab.

They also said it was hard to learn how to use the statistical analysis program , SigmaStat.

Parks and Allison said they had to make sure they entered the right data for accuracy. They are now putting together the data they have collected from the research.

They will have the opportunity to present their information at Oklahoma State University on Oct. 3.

The two will he presenting for Oklahoma Minority Participation in Science (OKAMP) research day.

The two recPived an UCO OKAMP scholarship for the research they are doing.

Allison and Parks will also have the opportunity to present in November for Oklahoma's research day.

They have reaped more than financial benefits from doing research.

The study offered "an opportunity to help [them] grow and become well-rounded," Allison said.

Parks said the study provided a basic foundation of learning the process of research and learning what type of work will be done in graduate schools.

Allison said since she is a commuter student there has been limits to what events she can be involved on campus. The research has given her the opportunity to be more involved and feel more connected to the campus, she said.

Parks said she has learned how to present projects to other people.

"Before, I didn't know how to do this," Parks said.

Even though Parks and Allison have worked together most of the time, the two have had few opportunities to work together this fall semester.

"We worked together a lot during the summer," Allison said.

Since Allison and Parks have conflicting schedules, they have been separated.

"Right now, we're working individually," Parks said.

Allison and Parks said although the research has been time consuming, it has been a good experience.

"I've enjoyed it," Allison said. "I mention it to a lot of people because I'm excited."

Parks said she liked doing the bat research because there is a lot to learn.

Everyone thinks all the animals have been discovered and we know everything they do, but this is not the case, Parks said.

Allison and Parks offered insight to how much the study meant to them.

"I think that it's a big deal [to] us because we've spent time with it and know that it will make a difference," Parks said. "It's exciting to have something that's going to get published as your own."

They explained how their research now could possibly impact the future.

Until the research is finished it may just remain within the UCO community.

"I don't think it will catch more attention until it's published," Parks said.

Allison has been researching bats for about a year. Parks has been a part of the study for about five or six months.

The bat study is being done under the direction of Dr. Caire.

When Allison and Parks need help or have questions, Caire is available to offer assistance.

Both Parks and Allison will continue to work on the bat research project, until they graduate. For Parks, it may be sooner rather than later since she will be a senior next semester.

Until then, they are both excited to be a part of something that could have an impact on the society whether it is big or small.

Just as Oklahoma weather has its uncertainties, so does Allison and Parks on where the study will take them. Nothing is keeping them from imaging the possibilities.

And as the seasons change, so will knowledge the two stand to gain from the research process.

UCO's top finishing debate team is looking forward to a new year, said debate director Eric Marlow.

The team's top speaker, Chris Spurlock, was ranked as the secondbest speaker in the nation last year, and he is returning to what Marlow said is one of the biggest debate squads at UCO in the last 20 years.

The team currently has 24 people, and Marlow said that UCO students of any major or skill level are welcome to join the debate team.

"It's open to everyone on campus," he said. "Everyone from different experience levels."

"People are just really interested [in debate this year]," he said of the reason for the jump in numbers.

The debate team is one of the old-

UCO Debate went to Gonzaga last weekend and placed in the quarter finals, and received a top 20 speaker award as well. Their only losses were to Baylor Northwestern and University of California.

"We're hoping for a top to finish in nationals this year," said Marlow.

"We're really looking forward to a great year this year."

The team has launched a campaign with the UCO library called, "Read," and they will be doing a demonstrational debate at the library Oct. 27 at 4 p.m.

Marlow, of Bristow, Okla., has been the head debate coach for the last four years, and previously was at Southeast Louisiana University for six years. He has coached five national champions in debate.

The team only practices team cross-examination or policy debates, and Marlow said individual debate has now become its own separate entity.

This year's team is looking to be very promising, with most of the debaters returning from last year.

They qualified two teams for the national debate tournament last year, a feat that hasn't been done since 1987. They finished in the top eight according to the Cross Examination Debate Association, and both the novice and varsity teams were ranked 13th in the nation. Standing alone, varsity debate was ranked sixth, just one point ahead of OU, said Marlow.

President Webb named it one of the top to accomplishments of UCO last year in the newest edition of the alumni magazine.

Martin said she Arkansas who won the team title. had surgery and should be ready Host team Missouri Southern, for the start of next season.

The freshman runners for UCO Dallas Baptist, Pittsburg State and Harding rounded out the top had a big day as they continued to transition from high school to the five.

Junior Julia Crocker continued to contribute finishing 197th with a time of 21:03.53. UCO is coming off of a fifth place finish the week before at the Friends Invitational in Wichita, Kan. At that meet Istrate was the top Broncho finishing 15th with a time of 2o:o3.0o. The field was much smaller only including 15 teams.

Crocker, who is the team captain this season, continues to be a team leader and a big influence on the younger players along with Istrate and Berko.

While the place finishes may not look that impressive, Martin said that almost every girl improved their time over the previous meet including Cox, who improved by almost a min-

ute. Martin is also encouraged because UCO finished second out of Lone Star Conference teams at the meet only behind Midwestern State who won the conference a season ago.

UCO will get this weekend off from competition. They return to action Saturday, October 3, at 8 a.m. at the Cowboy Jamboree in Stillwater.
