Freedom of Information to hold annual convention Friday, Saturday at UCO Biosphere piglets slaughtered for excessive eating ATLANTA (AP) — A family of pigs living in Biosphere 2 fell victim to their own large appetites and became pork roast. The two pigs — which were from Georgia — and the seven piglets they had while in the Biosphere turned out to be too hard to feed. They ended up on the dinner table. "We killed them," Abigail Ailing of Biosphere told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We hated to do it, but they just ate too much. So they became holiday dinners." The two-year Biosphere expermient in enclosed living ended Sunday.

Freedom of Information Oklahoma Inc. (F01) will hold its annual convention Oct. 1 and 2 at the University of Central Oklahoma. Two days of nationally known speakers, banquets, workshops and discussion on the subject of the openness and access to public records will mark the event hosted by FOI Oklahoma Inc. and the UCO journalism department. FOI Oklahoma Inc. is a statewide nonprofit freedom of information organization. Its goal is to educate people about the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment and the state's openness laws. "The organization is particularly involved in educating public officials about open meetings and open records. It not only serves as a clearinghouse for people who make inquiries, but also conducts workshops and seminars all over the state," said
Dennie Hall, an assistant professor of journalism at UCO and a member of the board of directors of FOI Oklahoma Inc. Hall said that city and county officials and local school boards are often not aware of what the law says about open meetings, and that it is helpful for watchdog organizations like FOI Oklahoma Inc. to make public officials aware that someone is watching them. "My understanding is that the worst offenders are members of school boards in rural districts," Hall said. State convention chairperson Diana Baldwin said that often people in public sector jobs think that their records are private and therefore not open to public scrutiny. "Our concern is for people to not confuse privacy issues with open records," said Baldwin. The convention will begin with a Jefferson Meeting. Scenarios will be presented on the issue of locking people out of the political process. Those in attendance

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Seventy people died in accidents on Oklahoma highways in August, five more than were killed in the same month last year, the state Department of Public Safety said. Twenty-five people died in single-vehicle accidents and 19 died in two-car accidents. Eight motorcyclists, five pedestrians and one bicyclist also were killed. Oklahoma County had the highest number with eight while Tulsa County had five.
Radicals offer small reward for writer's death DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — A Muslim writer sought police protection Friday after an Islamic fundamentalist group accused her of blasphemy and announced a cash reward of $1,250 for anyone who kills her. The Islamic radicals targeted Taslima Nasreen, 31, for her latest novel "Lajja," or "Shame," published earlier this year. ',See WORLD WRAP, Page 8
will then separate into groups to discuss the ramifications of the issue presented and reconvene to present their conclusions. On both days, luncheons, banquets and panels featuring local and nationally known experts discussing various topics concerning freedom of information and public access issues will be held. Workshops on electronic records an open government are planned. An education for freedom workshop for teachers, librarians and others in education-related fields is also included. A special seminar on the subject of ethics in the media will be offered Oct. 2. The cost to attend both days of activities at the convention, if attending the luncheons, is $35 for students, $55 for FOI Oklahoma Inc. members and $65 for nonmembers. Those not attending the luncheons can attend the seminars free. For more information, contact Diana Baldwin at 475-3384 or 325-5278.

Shaye Samora defeated Dwayne Holford by 25 votes in the University of Central Oklahoma' s Student Government Association vice-presidential election last week. The final tally was 112 to 87. A third candidate, Sean Leckie was disqualified. "He violated campaign regulations by posting fliers in the wrong places," said Carole Crawley, senate speaker. Tausha Walker was elected as student senator in the election. "No grievances were filed and the campaign went great," said Crawley. "I would like to thank the faculty and staff who helped me in the polls," said Jenny Thompson, SGA election committee chair.

United States should concentrate on home problems with youth
I
i.e day will come when the progress of nations will be judged not by their military or economic strength, nor by the splendor of their capital cities and public buildings, but by the well-being of their peoples. This preface of a United Nations report released last week is the reason why the United States should become more selfish and concentrate on improving conditions at home instead of focusing attention on problems abroad. According to the study, the U.S. received an unsatisfactory grade. The report said that the U.S. is one of the most dangerous places in the world for young people, and the U.S. is getting worse, while other places are getting better. Frightful statistics included nine of 10 young people murdered in industrialized countries are killed in the U.S . The homicide rate for people as 15-24 is five times that of Canada, its neighbor and nearest competitor. The U.S. poverty for children is more than double that of any other industrialized nation. Progress in developing countries has been seen in areas of controlling family sizes, increasing life expectancy and dropping malnutrition rates. The report stated violence as one of the big problems of today's youth in the U.S. If the U.S. doesn' t begin to slow down the rate and make a dent in the violence, more distress will follow. The nation must work to improve its society for its young by developing programs to combat gang violence and feed the less fortunate. This will, in turn, provide the young a reason for living. The U.S. government and people must commit themselves to making a better future for the children because, after all, they are the future. ,

Aide thanks UCO employee for hard work, dedication
I
would like to thank Crystal Johnson for her friendliness, knowledge, experience, and determination. For those of you who do not know Crystal, she is the person who is always hard at work in the UCO Copy Center, located on the first floor of the University Center. She is quick to lend a helping
hand and is extremely pleasant and consumer-responsive, despite her tremendous workload. Crystal's responsibilities to UCO are similar to the duties and responsibilities of an emergency room doctor at a hospital. In addition to maintaining over 25 copy machines throughout the campus, she somehow finds the time to
cater to the immediate needs of the students, faculty, and staff that drop by daily without prior notification. Crystal is definitely a standout and my unsung player of the week. Crystal, I thank you, and hope you don' t lose it someday. Peter Regan Aide to President Nigh —
Student voices opinion about financial aid, wants to hear others experiences fter reading with interest the article in a recent issue of The Vista on the improving situation with financial aid, I had to write to voice my own opinion. Being one of the students who was the victim of one of the few errors that have been made by
financial aid, I would like to hear from others who had also had problems due to financial aid. I would also like to see if we can form a student association to help students who have problems with financial aid, and cannot get any satisfactory answers. I would be interested from hearing other
views. I would be interested in hearing views from both those who have had problems and those who have not. Everett Houck 717 SE 21st Oklahoma City, Okla. 73129 —
School photography major rates high; lab needs overhaul, student says
T
his letter is concerning the story in the Sept. 21 issue of The Vista. The photo lab has been a problem for many years. This school has the best photography major in the state with a top rate staff so there is no reason for a second rate lab.
The school has been neglecting the photo department for too long. The school spends plenty of money on sports and other departments like theater, but they fail to realize that, without photography, none of this will be remembered in the future. The school plans to add an an-
nex to the Communication's Building; with a little planning, a new photo lab can be added to alleviate this whole problem.

The Ninth Annual Greek Festival, sponsored by St. George Greek Orthodox Church, starts Oct. 1 exhibiting different aspects of Greek culture. "We are expecting an increased turnout this year. Last year over 10,000 people attended the festival. This year we expect 10,000 to 12,000 people to attend," said Dr. John Samaras Ph.D., UCO professor of management. "The purpose of the festival is to exhibit Greek food, Greek dancing and Greek culture to the community." An authentic Greek band featuring a bouzouki (Greek guitar) and a local group of Greek dancers, known as the Greek Islanders will also be performing. Guests will have a choice of two dinner entrees, chicken riganato or soudzoulcakia (Greek meatballs), at this years festival. Dinners can be purchased in advance or at the festival. According to Samaras, Greeks have been in Oklahoma since 1912 , but "we have never been as organized as today, now we can afford it and have the expertise to exhibit." Authentic Greek crafts, imported from Greece, will be on display as well as for sale. European-Greek painter Zografos will be a feature artist at the festival. In addition to the food, dancing, music and craft displays, a religious exhibit will be open. The religious exhibit will feature icons as well as lectures describing beliefs and practices of the Greek Orthodox church. Lectures will be held daily every hour on the hour. Admission to the festival is $2.00 and children under 12 are admitted free. For more information contact St. George Greek Orthodox Church at 751-1885, or Dr. Samaras at 341-2980, Ext. 2821.

UCO forwards master's degree proposal to regents By Roy Howe Staff Writer
A program yielding a master's degree in public administration (MPA) is in the proposal stage and was recently forwarded to the State Regents for Higher Education where they will study the program to evaluate its need. The University of Central Oklahoma' s MPA proposal is being studied to see if it parallels the graduate degree in public administration offered at the University of Oklahoma. Due to fiscal stress, State Regents warn against duplicating programs. "The proposed MPA at this university would concentrate on state government, while the MPA at the University of Oklahoma is an international program," said George Avellano, dean of the graduate college. Carl Reherman, director of the university's Nigh Institute of State Government, said the fact that OU has a graduate program in public administration should not be a factor for approving UCOs. "Even if our programs are similar in many ways, there is room for more than one program in the state," he said. "Kansas has three MPA programs at three different schools," Reherman said. "Arkansas has three programs, Missouri has five programs, Texas has 11 programs and Oklahoma has one." Reherman, a member of the UCO faculty for the past 23 years, said there is "obviously a need (for the MPA program) or we wouldn't have proposed it. "We've determined that there is a need here among our students for a degree in public service. We have had a lot of disappointed students who have left here with degrees that would have preferred
MPAs. "If we started the program now, we would have 50 to 75 students the first year, and that's picking from the best applicants," Reherman said. He also said the need is appar-

ent in the workforce. "By discussing with state and local officials it is clear there is a major need for a MPA with an emphasis in state and local government. At the present time, we have 11 letters of endorsement of our program that was presented to the regents from state and local officials." In accordance with the State Regents' Academic Planning/Resource Allocation guidelines (APRA), where institutions should shift resources from the low production programs to those that will better serve more students, the MPAs funding will come primarily from two recently deleted programs. The money to fund the proposed MPA would result from the recently canceled Master of Arts in Economics and Master of Education in Community/Junior College programs said Albert Lynd, associate vice president for academic planning. The new program's steps toward approval began more than a year ago with a study by Reherman involving many people with various job descriptions. "First," Rehermam said, "faculty from all four of UCOs colleges reviewed the proposal..
"By the time it went to the graduate committee, this thing was probably the most studied proposed degree that this campus has ever seen," Reherman said. After approval from the graduate team, the proposal for the new

degree went to the vice president for academic affairs. Then, last summer the graduate program was approved by the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges. Now, the proposal sits with the State Regents for Higher Education where an out-of-state threemember review team will compare it with OUs. "They (State Regents) will determine whether the two programs are different enough for the two to exist," said Avellano. "The review committee will visit the UCO campus early next year." Avellano said, "Once they have given their report to Hans Brisch (State Regents' chancellor), he will make his recommendation." Reherman said that, if approved, the new graduate program would not only benefit students, but also the state and its future.
Then, we took it to the practitioners and said, 'is this what you need?'" From there, the proposal was reviewed by UCO's graduate committee which is comprised of graduate faculty.

Greeks discuss candidate process By Judie Tennell Student Writer
The Uni versity of Central Oklahoma 1993 homecoming is over, but discussion for next year's candidates have already begun. The Panhellenic Council, the governing body of sororities on the UCO campus, is discussing the possibility of sponsoring a single candidate to represent the Greek community in the Homecoming festivities next year. The association is responsible for communication between the individual sororities. Members of Panhellenic are Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, and Sigma KaPpaIn the past, each individual sorority sponsored a candidate to represent the individual sorority.
Each organization campaigned for the candidate. The Association of Women's Student conducted the elections to make sure rules were followed, and ballots are tallied correctly. The winner was announced at half time of the Homecoming football game . According to Kim Wegerzyn, Panhellenic delegate of the Sigma Kappa sorority, this system fostered a lot of competition between the houses. Wendi Dawkins, Delta Zeta homecoming queen candidate and Panhelleniv Vice president, said the idea of a single candidate arose during Homecoming Queen elections. The three Homecoming Queen candidates for each sorority talked about the possibility of having one representative for all Greeks. "There's no reason for us to keep competing. We should work
together," said Dawkins. Kristi Kindred, president of Panhellenic and member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority, said the council planned on taking the idea to the Association of Women's Students. "Any candidate who ran would have to have full Greek support. I think if we could do that it would make the Greek system a lot more unified," said Kindred. "The only thing the houses are concerned about is how the process would work. We still haven't worked that out yet," Kindred said. "I think it would be a good idea for AWS to reinstate interviews. If there are still a lot of girls, then the Greeks should select a candidate," said Wegerzyn. Kindred suggested rotating a representative from each house, or letting the Greek community vote on the candidate. Kindred said that nothing was decided.
UCO sorority sponsors second 'Casino Night' By Dayna Poarch Student Writer
The Alpha Gamma Delta sorority will sponsor their second annual "Casino Night" from 7 to 11 p.m. Oct. 1 at the American Legion Building in Edmond. Proceeds from "Casino Night" will go toward the Alpha Gamma Delta Foundation. The foundation provides scholarships for the house and contributes to all as-
pects of diabetes, including research, said Amitia Peterson, philanthropy chairman. "It was just juvenile, but now it's for all diabetes," she said. After paying the $5 admission, each person will receive play money to use for the games, Peterson said. Last year, only students and alumni were invited, but "Casino Night" was so successful that they have opened it to the public, Peterson said. "It was real fun las t year. People
enjoyed playing the games," Peterson said. "The auction really helped a lot. People tried to get as much money as they could so they could get the prizes they wanted." Prizes were donated by Edmond businesses such as restaurants and clothing stores, she said. The games will begin at 7 p.m., and the auction will begin at 9 p.m. For more information, contact the Alpha Gamma Delta house at 341-6380.
Computer club elects officers By Anthony Tompkins Student Writer
Computer science majors, minors and other students interested in the technical aspects of computing, can still join the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), said Bill Stockwell, a professor of computer science at the University of Central Oklahoma. "Our first meeting was a big success and we are excited to announce our new officers," said Stockwell. The first meeting of the ACM, held Sept. 17, was attended by 20 students and six faculty members of UCO including Stockwell. Ten of the students who attended the meeting are now active members. "During the first meeting, we collected dues and elected officers," said Stockwell.
The new officers are Razi Saddiqui as president, Tony Dempewolfe as vice president, Pat Patterson as secretary and Scott Jones as treasurer. "We have an excellent group of members and we are now in the process of drafting a constitution," said Stockwell. UCO' s ACM chapter is not yet officially recognized on campus as a student organization, but once a charter has been submitted to the Student Activities office the ACM will be an official student organization. "Our president has already started working on getting (emergency funding) for the new ACM chapter," said Stockwell. At present, all funding for student organizations is distributed in April. UCO' s new chapter has yet to receive emergency funding, but funding is expected once the chapter is officially chartered, said Stockwell.

"Latex & Lace: Fun Ways through Safer Sex," a seminar on human sex information for the 1990s, will be presented at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in West Hall's lobby on campus by University of Central Oklahoma Sociology Professor Lewis Irving. "The program is a very explicit presentation on sexuality, safer sex and effective condom use," said Dr. Irving. "The intent of the effort is to address questions concerning sexuality in a lighthearted, highly academic, highly motivated environment." Irving said he will use humor, group involvement, individual decision making and visual aids of many different styles and added the need exists for this type of information. "Currently, the number of people having unwanted pregnancies and STD's and the explosion of HIV and AIDS populations in the U.S. require this information be presented. My presentation is an amalgamation of knowledge gained over 25 years of effort,"
said Irving, who has a Ph.D. in human sexuality and is a certified AIDS educator in Oklahoma and California. "My favorite part of the entire presentation is to watch the audience move from a position of 'I don't want to know anything about this. I don't even want to consider the topic,' to that place of 'Gee, there is a lot of data that I don't know.' As I watch the shift of the audience, it energizes me and the audience," said Irving. Residence Hall Association President Scott Vanderpool said he recommends the program to all students. "If it's anything like it was last year, it will be informative, interesting and entertaining. Dr. Irving kept the audience captivated and talked about a subject that is normally taboo. Plus, he gives out free condoms," Vanderpool said. "We have a lot of freshmen on campus, and they need to know how serious the sex issues are. The program is also for returning students - just to reintroduce the information on safer sex. We can't stop them from doing it, so they might as well learn how to take care," said West Hall Resident Assistant Faith Kimilu.

Children's theater begins season under direction of UCO graduate By Scott Curry Student Writer
The Oklahoma Children' s Theatre is beginning a new season under the new direction of Terry Veal, a Un ivers ity of Central Oklahoma graduate, with plays that target children of all ages. "Most of our plays have comedic themes that appeal to the child in all of us. Though most of our patrons are children, the sponsors that attend with them invariably enjoy the shows," said Veal, who has been the director of the eightyear-old production company for a week.
Veal, a 1981 UCO graduate with a degree in Speech and Theater Education, will oversee the production of seven new plays to be presented in 1993-94. Veal has been with the Children's Theatre for four years and directed and acted in plays throughout Oklahoma City in the past. "I've worked in about every theater in Oklahoma City, but I'm still a little frazzled with the new responsibility," said Veal, "But we' re really excited about the new season." The Children' s Theatre will kick off the season with an adaptation of "The Princess and the Pea" Oct. 5-24. "Our audiences during the week will primarily be school children,
but on weekends we get a wide variety of patrons," said Veal. The Children' s Theatre will take four of its shows on the road during the season, and works in partnership with area schools with drama-related educational programs. Located in the City Arts Center on the State Fair Grounds, the theater is closed during the state fair. "Our shows usually last from 50 minutes to an hour and people who go to the fair just don't want to sit still," Veal said. "Besides, there is just too much else to see." Weekday shows begin at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and 7 p.m. on Fridays. For tickets and reservation information, call 948-6408.
G.L.A.S.S. elects 1993-94 officers Jennifer Morrell Student Writer
The Gay, Lesbian Alliance for Student Support (G.L.A.S.S.) held its first meeting at Sept 23 in the Liberal Arts building to elect the officers and discuss plans for the upcoming year. "As the new president of G.L.A.S.S., I feel that I can help people, in society and especially on campus, deal with gay issues," said Presiden t James Landis, UCO student. The other officers elected were: Donna Roy, vice president; Leslie
Thomas, treasurer; and Edie Berenberg, secretary. Dr. Thomas E. Guild, associate professor of General Business, and Dr. Lewis H. Irving, Professor of Sociology, are the co-sponsors for G.L.A.S.S. "There are two major reasons for this organization to exist on campus." said Irving. "First, it gives us an opportunity to discuss sexual issues in an open forum, and second, it gives us an opportunity, to provide a learning environment for all people on the topics of sexual orientation." G.L.A.S.S. meets the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in Room 239 in the Liberal Arts building.
The group will be watching "And the Band Plays On," a movie produced by HBO about the AIDS virus, at the Oct. 7 meeting. Members of G.L.A.S.S. have also decided to help with the Lupus fund-raiser. Lupus is a disease that causes antibodies to attack certain parts of the body. Members of G.L.A.S.S. will be selling tickets, one dollar each, for a raffle drawing that will be held Oct. 30. The first prize is an all expense paid trip for two to San Antonio, Tex. Second prize is a 386 SX-40 personal computer and third prize is a $200 gift certificate for furniture. A total of 13 prizes are in the drawing.

Nursing assistant fired over AIDS tattoo victim of bias, agency rules SEATTLE (AP) — A nursing assistant fired from his hospital job for refusing to cover up a tattoo that says he has the AIDS virus was the victim of illegal bias against disabled people, a. federal agency has ruled. John Baldetta, 28, said he hoped to return to work at Harborview Medical Center, which fired him Jan. 13 from his job bathing, feeding and moving patients. But the hospital, which is affiliated with the University of Washington, is objecting to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission finding. Harborview spokeswoman Tina Mankowski said hospital officials "have asked for a reconsideration, and we're going to be discussing the matter further later this month." The EEOC office in Seattle ruled Aug. 20 that the hospital broke the federal law protecting disabled people from bias when it fired Baldetta. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act applies to people infected with HIV, which causes AIDS. Baldetta, who had his left forearm tattooed with the words: HIV POSITIVE, said this week he was "very surprised, very pleased" with the finding by Jeanette M. Leino, an EEOC deputy district director. "I want this to be a good teaching experience for Harborview and other employers that ignorance and hate ... won't be tolerated any longer," Baldetta said from Bellingham, where he was staying with relatives. Hospital officials had said they were worried about patient reaction to Baldetta's tattoo. But Leino said that fear was based on speculation.
Chicken company sues KFC DALLAS (AP) — A company's "chicken revolution" has turned into litigation as Golden Franchising Corp. filed suit against Kentucky Fried Chicken Inc. over its Rotisserie Gold dish. The lawsuit, filed Thursday at U.S. District Court in Dallas, seeks damages and injunctions to stop Louisville, Ky.-based KFC from using the name and trademark for its rotisserie chicken, Officials of KFC had called introduction of the new roasted chicken at its restaurants a revolutionary departure from its namesake. But Dallas-based Golden Franchising, which franchises Golden Fried Chicken restaurants, says KFC's Rotisserie Gold will be confused with GFC's Golden Rotisserie chicken and constitutes an infringement of its trademark. KFC, which launched the roasted chicken product in most of its 5,100 U.S. restaurants after a costly advertising campaign, denied the lawsuit's allegations. "We don' t see any confusion at all between the two names," Steve Provost, a KFC spokesman, said in a telephone interview from Louisville. Executives of GFC said consumers would be confused because the product is "virtually identical" to its rotisserie chicken. Papers filed in the lawsuit contend KFC's actions have caused irreparable damage and seek injunctions against the company. Golden Fried Chicken has 91 restaurants in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Mexico. Golden Fried Chicken also operates Golden Chick restaurants in Richardson, Texas, which carries Golden Rotisserie chicken. KFC is a subsidiary of PepsiCo Inc.

'Water Boy' novelist speaks to students of adolescent psychology By Joy McNutt
Staff Writer
Dr. Gary Reiswig, author of "Water Boy," a novelrecently published by Simon & Schuster, spoke to about 160 University of Central Oklahoma students studying adolescentpsychology Sept. 15 and 16. Dr. Sheldon Russell, professor in curriculum and instruction, said he invited Reiswig to speak to two of his classes because "Water Boy" is about the personal struggles that adolescents experience in growing up and how adult's expectations influence their lives. "If they (adults) were able to step outside of themselves as "Water Boy" did, and observe themselves, then they would be less likely to repeat the mistakes of their own adolescence against their children or students," Russell said. Reiswig spoke about the adolescent characters in his book and his own experiences as an adolescent in a small town in Oklahoma. Adolescent concerns include searching for identity, breaking away from the family, responding to awakening sexuality and establishing personal values and independent thinking, Russell said. Also, athletics play a crucial role in the popularity and acceptance of adolescent boys. "Boys that are good in athletics are perceived by their peers and adults as being smarter and more successful than their less athletic peers
I
according to research in adolescent psych," Russell said. "Gary's book deals with that in terms of football and fundamentalist (Christian) religion." Reiswig was a star football player in high school and was offered athletic scholarships, Russell said. But by the time he graduated from high school, Reiswig said he had already suffered a broken leg and a concussion playing football. He said he thought football players had to like hurting people as a rightful means of winning glory for themselves and their towns. He saw a conflict between that attitude and the "love one another" religious values he was taught in church. Curiously, he said he observed that adults involved in the sports did not seem to see that conflict though they claimed to believe in both winning football and God. "In church, because I could speak and sing, the pressure was to be a minister," Reiswig said. Although he knew playing football in college would honor the whole town, he wanted a way out of football without losing face, so he said he chose to go into ministry instead. "If Jesus is calling you to a higher calling, certainly that's higher than football," he said. Reiswig pursued his education and career in ministry for nine years, preaching while in college and then pasturing at a church. Reiswig said getting glory or excessive admiration for his preaching bothered him. "The other thing that began to bother me was the absolute assurance of religious people that they had the truth," he said. "I went to Bible college...and in this whole
Gaty Reiswig educational process I was taught certain answers to life's difficult questions...But the more people came to me to talk about the difficulties in their lives, the more I found out the answers that had been given to me didn't fit the questions...After awhile, the psychology was more important to me than the religion was." Later, with a Ph.D. in foundations of education and a minor in child development, Reiswig worked in educational consultation. From 1979-1992, he owned and operated a country inn and restaurant in East Hampton, N.Y. During that time, he wrote "Water Boy," about two boys coming of age in a small town in Oklahoma. "This story...raises questions about the values and the assumptions that people in our culture make about football and religion," Reiswig say. "If anybody doesn't want to think about those questions, they should not read this book because it's going to make them uncomfortable if they are not willing to have those questions raised into their minds."

Broncho UCO's Cooley goes Notes 'Hog' wild on field UCO's Melkisetian player of the week Central Oklahoma linebacker Jason Melkisetian was named the Lone Star Conference defensive player of the week last week for his performance in the Bronchos 21-20 homecoming win over Southern Utah. Melkisetian, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound senior from Collinsville, had 19 tackles (five unassisted) and one quarterback sack for a 12yard loss for the 11th-ranked Bronchos. Melkisetian also was in on the tackle when Southern Utah went for a two-point conversion and the win with 1:45 to play. The LSC has awarded a UCO player with player of the week laurels three times this season. Tailback Glenn Starks won the offensive award for his performance against Mesa State. Elton Rhoades nabbed the defensive honors that same week.
UCO golfer claims second-place finish Freshman Dustin York earned runner-up honors in his first collegiate tournament to lead Central Oklahoma to a second-place finish in the U.C. Ferguson All-College Classic last Tuesday at Lincoln Park Golf Course in Oklahoma City. The Bronchos shot a closing 303 to finish with a 866 total in the two-thy, 54 hole tourney, 13 shots behind team champion Odessa Junior College. York finished with a one-over-par 211.
By Erick Daniels Sports information assistant Darren Cooley is an imposing force on the football field and has a great love of the game, but there is no doubting what the Central Oklahoma defensive tackle's real passion is. "If there are no Harleys in heaven then I don't want to go," said Cooley, a Harley Davidson enthusiast who is usually spotted wearing some motorcycle apparel. "I love 'em. There's just something about owning a Hog that makes you feel special, different than most people." Cooley owns a 1989 Softtail Springer that he rarely rides and personally keeps in immaculate condition, sometimes spending hours cleaning and polishing it. He belongs to Bryan's Harley Davidson Chapter and Harley's Owners Group (HOG). Cooley's love for Harleys doesn't distract from his football, however, as the 6-4, 270-pound senior is a mainstay on the defensive line and a main reason the Bronchos got off to a 3-0 start and gained them a spot in the NCAA Division II rankings. Hip and ankle injuries prevented Cooley from playing much in UCO's 21-10 victory over Southern Utah on Sept. 18, but there is no question that UCO will need Cooley if it hopes to challenge for the Lone Star Conference championship. "Right now East Texas State is the class of the Lone Star and we want to get into that game (in Commerce, Texas on Oct. 2) 4-0 and ranked pretty high," Cooley said. "That would defeinitely give us a lot of momentum." Cooley, an avid weightlifter who bench presses 475 pounds and holds the UCO team record with a 685-pound squat, graduated Windsor Hills High School in Oklahoma City and began his college career at NCAA Division I San Diego State. Cooley spent one year there before transfering to Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College for one year and then going to Arkansas. He spent two years with the Razorbacks, struggling with a variety of injuries, before coming to UCO this summer. A newlywed, Cooley was married on July 31 and he and his wife, Cristy, spent their honeymoon in Hawaii. "As soon as I returned from Hawaii it was time for two-a-days," Cooley said. "Talk about bad timing." Cristy is also an athlete, serving as captain of the Oklahoma Christian soccer team.
