Confusion, lack of donations stalls hurricane relief campaign

Increased disabled enrollment at UCO reflects statewide college trend

Organization unsure when trailer would be delivered, where it could park and how to get the word out to the UCO community

University experiences one-year boost in number of disabled students

by Courtney Bryce Vista Staff Writer

More accessible institutions cited as one reason for growth by Brett Deering Vista Staff Writer UCO disabled student enrollment increased 47 percent last year, with a 57 percent increase reported statewide. "Oh yes, a big increase," said Kimberly Fields, UCO coordinator for Disability Support Services. She said disabled student enrollment rose from 576 in 2003/2004 to 845 in 2004/2005. A statement released by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education said the Council on Student Affairs, an advisory council to the Regents, conducted a survey of 23 institutions statewide on policies and issues that affect disabled students. The report showed a 57 percent increase in disabled student enrollment from the years 2000 to 2004, with a total enrollment of 3,600 in 2004. Fields said that with efforts undertaken by institutions to make facilities more physically accessible, she believes one reason for the increased enrollment is a better understanding of the nature of various disabilities. She said that with more advanced testing procedures, school officials have a better comprehension of a student's capabilities.

"Now school counselors can say 'well yes, you can go to college, â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she said. The Office of Civil Rights, the entity within the U.S. Department of Education charged with enforcing the portions of the American with Disabilities Act concerned with education, states on its Web site that "The mission of the Office for Civil Rights is to ensure equal access to education and to promote educational excellence throughout the nation through vigorous enforcement of civil rights." Brad Morelli, UCO legal counsel, said UCO compliance is considered above the minimum requirements by the ADA. "In the last 10 years, we've probably spent four or five million dollars retrofitting campus for access," Morelli said. He said that retrofitting existing structures to meet regulations is expensive. He said future construction projects have ADA compliance planned, which greatly reduces cost to retrofit. Stephanie Cerny, graduate student in English, has been at UCO for three years and uses a wheelchair. She said her overall experience with accessibility like sidewalks and building

Six former students set for distinguished status First AfricanAmerican student, CNN anchor among honorees of annual award by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer Six former UCO students will receive "The Distinguished Former Student Award" at an alumni luncheon 11:30 a.m. Sept. 30 in the Nigh University Ballrooms. "We've been giving this award since the fifties," said Juliane Morgan, coordinator of special events of Alumni Relations. "It is the highest honor alumni can receive." The students being honored include: Stan Case, 1975; Elizabeth Hilton-Threatt, 1959; Belva Prestidge-Howard, 1979; Mike McAuliffe, 1981 and Dr. Frankie Wood-Black 1984. Hilton-Threatt is the last

surviving member of the first five African-American women to attend UCO in 1954. She received her master's in teaching at what was then Central State College. She worked for 44 years teaching at Luther public schools and retired in 1976. She said she has always been interested in children. Hilton-Threatt also owned and operated a gas station and grocery store with her husband in Luther. She has received recognition for her accomplishments and service to her community, including a street and library named after her in Luther. She was also named Donor of the Year by the United States Help Hospitalized Veterans. "I love humanity," said Hilton-Threatt. "If I can help in any way, regardless, I always do." Case graduated from thenCentral State University with a B.A. in Communication/ Broadcasting and later acquired a law degree from Georgia State

"I will mainly be talking about the non-violent revolution he (Gandhi) led in India and his ability to restore peace after the Indian Revolution," Scott said. "He kept Indians and Muslims from killing each other after Indian independence." Scott said he will be describing how Gandhi achieved what he did and how he is portrayed as a 'portrait of courage.' "I hope to demonstrate that Gandhi's thoughts are powerful and that his ideas are not ideal. They require courage," Scott said. "Political change can come through non-violence."

"I am very humble someone would nominate me. It is a big surprise, and to be honored in this way is very special." Morgan said the selection committee is made of UCO alumni board members who receive the nominations from a mix of alumni, professors, and faculty.

The Student Dietetic Association faced disappointment last week because of low student response to a campaign to collect non-perishable food items for hurricane victims. SDA President and nutrition senior Devin Orrell said SDA originally planned a garage sale to raise money for their student fund. He said when Hurricane Katrina hit they decided to collect and donate non-perishable food items to Feed the Children. "We wanted to make it a campus-wide event," Orrell said. "When a tragedy of this magnitude happens it shouldn't be one person (or organization)." Orrell said that in order to make the project campus-wide, Campus Life had to approve it. Orrell said SDA had already arranged for Over Night Transport, a trucking company, to donate a 53-foot truck for a week to collect the items. "Since we were told to wait until we had the truck, we were not able to promote until a few days before," Orrell said. "We didn't know when the truck was coming." Orrell said the main problem the organization faced was that Campus Life wanted SDA to wait before promoting the event. "The only reason I told them to wait was to make sure they had

ISC approves secretary, scholarship at weekly meeting Homecoming float plan gets thumbs down by Trisha Evans Vista Senior Staff Writer The International Student Council held its weekly meeting at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 16 in the Will Rogers Room of the Nigh University Center. A homecoming budget proposal, made by Josephine Mangoli, ISC vice president, failed. It would have allocated $438 to build a homecoming float. Jalal Daneshfar, ISC advisor said he is worried the float would be built without enthusiasm or participation from ISC members. "When it comes to homecoming we've got a lot of catching up to do. Building a float may be a little premature for this year," Daneshfar said. "Americans know this is not international culture, it is American culture."

Editor's note: The Vista continues to receive mail in response to a Sept. 22 story carrying the headline "Possible misuse of club Ands one topic of UCOSA house, senate meetings." To The Editor: I just wanted to thank you

for your recent coverage of the possible misuse of club funds in the ROTC Program. I graduated last year. And, I am currently attending law school at Oklahoma City University.

However, just before I left, I raised this issue. And, LTC Stuart Jolly looked at me menacingly and said, "Harrison, if you go spreading this around, I will flunk you and I will make sure that you don't commission." Five days after I confronted him, he attempted to kick me out of the ROTC Program. It took a lot of hard work by last year's student government officers to force the ROTC Program to make changes. I am still dealing with the effects

of my decision to speak up and the matter is currently being reviewed by Cadet Command. It is sad that students aren't free from the fear of threats and reprisals from their instructors. However, I am glad to see that there are still students with the courage and the integrity to do what is right. I commend the student newspaper and the student government for their service and their dedication. Nicholas Harrison UCO Alumni

Vegetarianism yields health benefits when done right ummer's last fruits combine with newly picked autumn vegetables in the traditional cornucopia of colors between seasons. Ripe apples, a few remaining plums, undersized ears of corn, and swollen zucchinis reflect the best of both harvests. Sheer variety may add to the appeal of vegetarianism, an alternative diet to the usual "chicken or beef' dinner dilemma. Larger population percentages classify themselves as vegetarian than ever before, and the American Dietetic Association recently reevaluated its national guidelines to asses the lower incidence of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, and kidney stones apparent in this growing demographic. The child of the modern age, you go to college, hold down a steady part-time job, and eat your vegetables. Rather than a counterculture trend, vegetarianism has evolved from a fringe movement that formerly called

up visions of radical hippie conventions and quackery to a legitimate nutritional choice. Macrobiotic diets enjoyed brief popularity in the early '90s, but often focused more on organic sources and Eastern philosophy than dietetic adequacy. Suspicion of the meat industry for supposedly unsafe practices, including the use of hormones and antibiotics in slaughter animals, may have more solid evidence to support vegetarianism's improved status. Appeal in recent years has focused on wellness rather than nonconformity, but many still choose vegetarianism for more personal reasons such as animal rights or religious stipulations. Controversy over vegetarianism in a proverbially meat 'n potatoes nation has always centered on sufficient intake of proteins, amino acids,

vitamins, and minerals essential to daily maintenance. While meat can often be substituted with soy products, lentils, and other sources of complex pro-

these individuals are most likely to show deficiencies in vitamins B12 and D, as well as calcium, iron, and zinc. Continued deficits will ultimately affect health

Dose teins, strict vegans who consume only low calorie plantbased foods are less likely to get enough of these necessary components. Fruitarians comprise another group that consumes only fruits and olive oil, and

or complicate existing ailments, and medical consultation should be sought prior to going vegetarian, especially when that means altering\ the diet of an ill, elderly, or pregnant person. If you're a vegan, consid-

er broadening your choices to become a lacto-ovovegetarion with the addition of dairy, beans, and nuts to the plant foods you'd normally eat. All vegetarians should combine rice and tofu or dried beans, corn and black-eyed peas, or hummus and bread as complete protein sources. A daily vitamin supplement can accompany restricted diets to help compensate for any lost nutrients. Research into vegetarianism highlights its health benefits compared to a habitual omnivorous diet when planned carefully. Disease rates in other countries with plant-based staples are far less than presently encountered in the United States. A few minor changes can lend some of the benefits of vegetarianism even if you're not ready to entirely say goodbye to barbecue yet. Replacing red meat with salmon, tuna,

mahi mahi, or tilapia two to three times weekly can lower blood cholesterol levels and thereby reduce your risk of heart disease. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables, eat a serving of unsalted nuts over a salad, choose low fat dairy, and use vegetable oils rather than hydrogenated solid fats. Moderation remains a prevalent rule of thumb for all diets; whether you're a vehement omnivore or a devoted vegetarian, neither extreme is healthy. For much information about vegetarianism and its potential health attributes, visit the American Dietetic Association's website at http:// www.eatright.org .

DRIVE: communication problems dampen relief collection effort from page 1 the truck," said Scott Monetti, Campus Life director. "They had a preliminary agreement with the person in charge of the trucking company but they hadn't made arrangements with the specific person (the driver of the truck) who was going to carry out the arrangements." Monetti said there was a lot of confusion on how involved Campus Life would be in the project. "This was a student event," Monetti said. "They (SDA) thought it (an affiliation with Campus Life) would help get the trucking company." Monetti said he felt he went above and beyond what his position required him to do for the organization. "I wanted to see this work, so I put some fliers up," Monetti said. "But there's so many other fliers on the bulletin boards. Fliers aren't enough." Monetti and Orrell both agreed there were communication problems between the two groups. Orrell said the first problem

SDA faced was where to park the truck. "The Department of Public Safety was going to tell us where to park the truck," Orrell said. Monetti said finding a place to park the truck was a problem. He said Orrell wanted to find a place on campus where everyone could see it. "DPS told us there was no way that truck was coming on campus," said Michelle McMillan, SDA off-campus promotion officer and dietetic officer. "DPS never told me no, they thought I wanted to park the truck in a parking lot," Monetti said. Monetti said DPS sent him to Parking Services. Monetti said he was told the truck would take up too many parking spots. Monetti said Orrell pointed out that Campus Life parked a Coca-Cola truck on campus during Broncho Stampede Week. Monetti said he then talked to Emily Overocker, assistant director of new student and

leadership programs, who had made the arrangements for the Coca-Cola truck. Monetti said she told him to call Connie Gall with Maintenance of Grounds. "When I spoke to Connie Gall she said that wasn't really her call. It was DPS's," Monetti said. "But she thought it would be okay." He said when he went back to DPS they were very cooperative in finding a spot on campus for the truck on the sidewalk between the Communication Building and Murdaugh Hall. Monetti said there was even more confusion about when the truck was coming. "Originally the truck was coming Friday but they (the trucking company) said "no we haven't confirmed with Michelle (McMillan),"' Monetti said. "I expected when I called things would have been taken care of. The trucking company said they hadn't spoken to them (SDA). There could have been a communication problem." "I made a call to Scott (Monetti) at 12:30 p.m. He didn't call me back until after four," McMillan said. "He said he wanted the phone number and the information to call the trucking company." Monetti said he directed the trucking company to go to DPS

the following Monday and they would show them where to park the truck on campus. McMillan said Monetti never called back to inform SDA about the next step of the plan. She said the truck arrived on Monday without SDA's knowledge. "We told them (the trucking company) that Devin or I would be present when they arrived. He (Monetti) knew our commitment to the company," McMillan said. "I think everyone should have been involved. This has left SDA looking bad with the trucking company. We're going to make it right with the trucking company." McMillan said she didn't think Campus Life knew what to do with the truck. "Some of the screw-up is me being the new guy and not knowing who to call," Monetti said. Monetti said the truck was still empty three days after being on campus. He said a lot of the problem was that many students had already donated what they could to other fundraisers and donations on campus. Monetti said in a last-, ditch effort he sent an e-mail out thrOugh .Cdtitralities.' "" '' " "We got all this pump from Campus Life but I felt we got

caught with our pants down out there," Orrell said. "In a case like this Campus Life would have no direct responsibility," Monetti said. "Students would have responsibility of reserving the room (or space), advertising and filling out the paperwork." Orrell said he might have presumed how much Campus Life was going to help but that they should have been more clear about it. "You would think when you work with an organization the left hand would let the right know what it's doing," Orrell said. "Would I do this again? In a heartbeat. And I know the students that helped would to." Orrell said donations only filled a quarter of the truck. "We had confirmation that the Lieutenant Governor was coming out," Orrell said. He said SDA called and canceled because of the lack in student participation. Monetti pointed out it was a big truck and SDA had still collected a lot of donations. "The end result is a bunch of stuff is going to people who need it," Monetti said. Cciurtney ,Bryce can be reached at cbryce@thevistaonline.com .

Cerny said the Housing Department has worked well with her. "Housing put in a peephole in my front door, but it was still too high. I called and they fixed it really quick," she said. Fields said the goal of her department is to serve the students. "To maintain integrity of the curriculum while providing equal access to information," she said.

'History of Violence' taut thriller with great cast by Nathan Winfrey Vista Staff Writer

murderer named Joey Cusack, the man responsible for the grotesque barbed-wire scar across Fogarty's left eye. Needless to say, he's a man they're not too fond of, and Tom must convince them otherwise or they may do something unpleasant to him or his family. It's either that or go to war with the mob with nothing but his wits and the family shotgun. Heartbreaking and at times unexpectedly hilarious, "A History of Violence" rarely cuts away tastefully when terrible things are happening to people. Instead, Cronenberg usu-

ally presents us with the same images his characters see. It's disturbing and borderline disgusting, but never gratuitous. We never see gore for the sake of gore. Cronenberg applies his graphically explicit style to everything from gun violence to sex scenes, using everything he can to create a sense of unease. That uneasiness and tension is broken only by strategically placed laughs that always hit their mark. I have not heard this much cheering and laughter from an audience since Mortensen's last big hit,

"The Return of the King." The main characters are multi-layered and perfectly cast. It's impossible not to emotionally invest in them, which is crucial to the success of such a movie that easily could have fallen flat on its face. "A History ofViolence" is the latest in the Hollywood trend of adapting graphic novels to the big screen, following last year's wildly successful "Sin City." However, this is a different type of movie than Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez's black-andwhite bloodbath. The pacing here is kind of

Director David Cronenberg, fresh from his success with the critically acclaimed "Crash," scores another hole-in-one with "A History of Violence," a beautifully brutal thrill ride. Viggo Mortensen ("The Lord of the Rings") plays Tom Stall, a soft-spoken family man who runs a diner in small-town America. When unsavory outof-towners drop by demanding money from the register, Tom flips out and kills them in self-defense. Now a national hero, Tom shuns his 15 minutes of fame. preferring to nurse his stabbed foot at home with his wife Edie (Maria Bello, "The Cooler") and their two children rather than sit for interviews or pose for photo-ops. However, some Philadelphia mob bosses catch glimpses of him on the news and think they recognize him as someone who betrayed them long ago. They show up in town, led by Carl Fogarty photo by Associated Press (Ed Harris, "A Beautiful Mind") Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen, right), runs a diner and lives a happy and quiet life until one day he attracts the attenwho swears he's tion of mobster Carl Fogarty (Ed Harris) who believes he is someone else in "A History of Violence." the spitting image of a crazy mass-

weird; it follows more what I expect is the outline of the graphic novel rather than the standard screenplay formula that has been subconsciously beat into our heads throughout years of movie-watching. The worst thing would be for its graphic novel origin to be confused with a comic book and dissuade anyone from treating themselves to this violent but intelligent masterpiece. There may be a bad taste left in

most people's mouths after the past few years of comic book flops, but rest assured there are no caped villains or superpowered mutants here, only real people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. "A History of Violence" is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time, and it opens in wide release Sept. 30. Nathan Winfrey can be reached at nwinfrey@thevistaonline.com.

UCO grad, CNNRadio anchor Case to speak in Communications Building by Lauren Hyer Vista Staff Writer

It is hard to believe that a young newspaper delivery boy from Prague, Okla, with a passion for reading and current events, is now a news anchor for CNNRadio Network at CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. Stan Case is an accomplished journalist who graduated from then-Central State University in 1975 with a B.A. in communication/broadcasting and has been anchoring for over 30 years, 20 of them being at CNN. Case has been honored at both the local level by the Associated Press and the national level for his excellence in journalism. "When I first started I was more interested in the programming side," Case said. As a sophomore in college, he enrolled in a broadcasting course that allowed him to get on the air on the campus station, KCSC. He said the reporting came natural to him. He said when he was a senior he began doing work at local radio station KRMC, where he worked for a year and a half. Since then, he has graduated Cum Laude with a law degree

from Georgia State University. He also has been a capitol correspondent for KEBC, reporting on all aspects of state government, legislative debates and agency activities. Case provided live coverage of parts of the Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols trials for CNNRadio. He has also reported many international events and tragedies. "I covered the first Gulf War in the early 90's and also the second Gulf War," Case said. "It was a real challenge to do the live reports. I also remember the two shuttle tragedies." Case and the CNNRadio staff shared the Ohio State Award for Excellence for their coverage of the Persian Gulf War. Case said he has always admired David Brinkley and Peter Jennings. "Brinkley was such an authority figure and so trustworthy as an anchor," Case said. "Jennings was perhaps the best news anchor ever. There are so many people who set high standards that we struggle to meet everyday." Case said the best advice he could give a young journalist is to read and pay attention to what is going on in the world. "Expose yourself to the other

points of view," Case said. "Consume many different types of journalism and always be hungry for more information." Case will speak at UCO about his career experiences at 10 a.m. Sept. 30 in the Communications Building, Rm. 120. "I don't have a specific agenda," Case said. "I will focus primarily on questions from students, and provide them with some insight into pursuing their careers." He, along with six other alumni, will receive the "Distinguished Former Student Award" at a luncheon at 11:30 a.m. that same day. He said being honored in this way is somewhat of a surprise to him. "I was not the best student in class, ever, all the way up through college," Case said. "It couldn't have been said I was a distinguished student at the time. To be honored in this way is very special." Case said he had a positive experience at Central State University, and the professors here created opportunities that assisted him in pursuing his career.

Blanco petitions for more aid denies blame from Brown WASHINGTON (AP) Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco asked Congress on Wednesday for help in rebuilding her devastated state, saying Hurricanes Katrina and Rita "knocked us down but they did not knock us out." Appearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Blanco in her opening statement did not mention former FEMA director Michael Brown, who on Tuesday had blamed state and local officials in Louisiana for not responding appropriately to the storm. "We are looking forward, not backward, " Blanco said. Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Alabama Gov. Bob Riley also were testifying before the committee via teleconference hookup from their state capitols. The Senate panel is working on a long-term tax bill to help revitalize the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast. Blanco said 40 percent of Louisiana's businesses were lost or damaged in the storm and said the state's most pressing need is jobs. "That's what we need," she said. "That's exactly what we need in the face of this suffering and hardship _ jobs." Across the Capitol, a House panel was hearing pledges from government auditors that they will closely examine millions of dollars in contracts the Bush administration awarded to politically connected companies for Hurricane Katrina relief. The inspectors general from half a dozen agencies, as well as officials from the Government Accountability Office, on Wednesday were addressing

to our new members to take care of each other, to be there for each other, to encourage each other to be our best, and the most valuable PROMISE of all, to respect each other.

a House subcommittee on the Katrina cleanup and announcing several new audits to combat waste and fraud. They are pledging strong oversight that includes a review of no-bid contracts and close scrutiny of federal employees who now enjoy a $250,000 purchase limit for Katrina-related expenses on their governmentissued credit cards. "When so much money is available, it draws people of less than perfect character," H. Walker Feaster, inspector general of the Federal Communications Commission, said. "It underscores the need for internal controls of the money going out." The joint appearance of government auditors comes amid a flurry of legislation pending in Congress that would create additional layers of oversight to the Katrina contracting and award process. It also comes amid growing charges of favoritism that critics say led to government missteps in the wake of the Katrina disaster. In a House hearing Tuesday, both Republicans and Democrats assailed Brown, who critics say lacked proper experience for the job, for his performance in handling emergency aid. Brown admitted making some mistakes but placed the brunt of the blame on the Louisiana governor, the New Orleans mayor and even the Bush White House that appointed him. Blanco on Tuesday had vehemently denied that she waited until the eve of the storm to order an evacuation of New Orleans. She said her order came on the morning of Aug. 27 resulting in 1.3 million people evacuating the city. "Such falsehoods and misleading statements, made tuidei oath before Congress, are shock ing," Blanco said in a statement Tuesday.

by Harry Gatewood III frista Senior Sports Writer

Southwestern Oklahoma State linebacker Greg Franklin transferred to SWOSU after originally signing with UCO. Vista Senior Sports Writer Harry Gatewood III sat down with Franklin to discuss the Bulldogs and Franklin's first trip back to UCO. Harry: Why did you leave UCO?

be hungrier though." The Bronchos have a 54-23-3 series lead over the Bulldogs, having played them more than any other opponent. The series began in 1905. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Wantland Stadium. Harry Gatewood can be reached at hgatewood@thevistaonline.

Franklin: Our defensive plan is to shut down the key receivers on UCO's offense. As far as their running game, we don't expect many problems. We're pretty sure that they are expecting an easy win from us, but they shouldn't. In our past two games, we've played two of the top teams in our conference, and we're the best team they've seen all year. Last week versus a nationally ranked team, Tarleton, we lost 16-9. Factor in that we missed two field goals, one P.A.T. and dropped two passes in the end zone, and we would've had a win. Harry: What is your personal goal besides a win for the team? Franklin: On a personal level, I'm looking to have tackles in the double digits, and be a huge impact player for our defense. Harry: What do you miss about UCO? Franklin: I miss the access to so much recreation. Out here in Weatherford we have one club to go to. Other than that, nothing is really geared towards college life.. It's getting better thanks to

this gas station that throws parties after every home game though.

Franklin: I consider SWOSU my "Cheers." Everyone knows the theme song to "Cheers," - "where everybody knows your name." Last I heard we have about 5,000 students out here, a lot less than UCO. It makes it easier to get to know people. I'm enjoying the slow pace of this small town, compared to Edmond's minimum 20 minutes just to drive 5 miles. Harry: What is special about this game? Franklin: Our coach is calling this a "blue letter game." He's proclaiming that SWOSU and UCO are from this point on going to be rivals. I support that all the way. UCO is going to realize that SWOSU is a force to be reckoned with. Don't be surprised with a SWOSU victory at all. Harry: Will you play this weekend? (Franklin recently suffered a neck injury in practice and goes in for a nerve test this week to update his physical status.) Franklin: There is about a 99% chance that I'll play. The only reason I wouldn't play is if the doctor tells me that doing so would result in me being paralyzed. Harry Gatewood 111 can be reached at ,hgatewood@thevistponline,cptp.

UCO Volleyball team tops Cameron Bronchos drop game one, win next two to improve to 3-0 in LSC North play by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer

Soccer Club The UCO men's , soccer club defeated the OSUJapan club 3-2 Sept. 24 at the Edmond Soccer Complex. The soccer club will face the OU soccer club Oct. 1 and the OU-COLSA (Colombian Student Association) Oct. 2 in Norman. The site of the games is as yet undetermined.

Soccer The UCO women's soccer team, now 5-3, defeated East Central University 1-0 Sept. 27 to earn their second straight Lone Star Conference victory. UCO dominated the Tigers offensively, firing 31 shots at the net, but were only able to turn in one goal after Joy Hagermann took a pass from Lindsey Hull during the first half The Bronchos will meet Central Missouri State Sept. 30 and Emporia State Oct. 2 when they host the Holiday Inn Classic at Tom Thompson Field.

Women's Golf

The UCO women's golf team finished second in the Drury Invitational Sept. 27 on the strength of Ashley Kelley's runner-up finish. Kelley posted an even-par 72 in the closing round before being defeated in a six-hole playoff by Drury's Tonya Choate. UCO's Emily Kirk finished fifth and A4iley Miller tied for ninth. UCO will compete in the Oklahoma City Invitational Oct. 3 and 4.

Men's Golf

UCO came in No. 11 in the first GCAA/Bridgestone Coaches men's golf poll for 2005-06, with the Bronchos set to open their fall season next week. UCO has three starters back from last year's team that finished No. 13 in last year's NCAA Division II national tournament, with the Bronchos of fifth-year Head Coach Dax Johnston receiving 200 points in the initial poll. The Bronchos begin their four-tournament fall schedule Oct. 3-4 at the Drury invitational in Springfield, MO.

Miscellaneous

ESPNâ&#x20AC;˘ analyst and former Super Bowl champion Bill Curry will speak to UCO's

Lacie Allen and Kim Morgal mortified Cameron University with blazing kills, streaking aces and big blocks as the Bronchos defeated the Aggies 3-1 at Hamilton Fieldhouse Sept. 27. UCO is now 3-0 in the Lone Star Conference and 13-6 overall with a four game winning streak. "We played so good as a team," Morgal said. "Like Katie said in a couple articles back: you're nothing without you're team." Morgal led the Bronchos with a career high 26 kills. "We passed well, we dug balls," Morgal said. "That's the only way I can get kills - if (my teammates) do their job." Allen had a career-high 19 kills and led the defense with 29 digs. "We found our team," Allen said. "We are playing good and we're 3-0 in conference. I just hope we keep rolling. " Jenny Anderson sported 25 digs on defense as Stephanie Ball had a seasonhigh 63 assists. UCO lost the first game 30-28. But

heading into game two, Allen challenged the team to pick up the intensity, and that they did. The Bronchos returned in game two with a 30-20 victory and the never looked back, picking up a 30-23 win and closing the match with a 30-15 stomp. "We started out playing a little nervous," Head Coach Jeff Boyland said. "Our girls hadn't played at home in almost a month. That first game we were just a little tentative, but then we started playing really well and we started pushing them." UCO treks to Southwestern Oklahoma State University Sept. 29 for another LSC face-off This is the first year SWOSU has had a volleyball team. The Lady Bulldogs are currently last in the LSC with an 0-1 conference record and 3-13 overall record. "It will be real interesting," Boyland said. "I've seen them play and they have a lot of junior college players. If we just take care of the ball we should be all right." "Even though they are last in the conference," Morgal added, "we don't want to take anybody lightly. We just want to play solid, we want to take care of our side of the court and take care of our game."

Bronchos

by Harry Gatewood III Vista Senior Sports Writer

The UCO football team returns to Wantland Stadium Oct. 1 for homecoming against Southwestern Oklahoma State University. The Bronchos and the Bulldogs are both 1-4 on the season. "Every game from now on out we are going to have to muscle in," UCO quarterback Justin Allgood said. "We just want to get our morale up and get a win under our belt. This is definitely a big deal for us." This is the Bulldogs first Lone Star Conference game of the season. UCO is 0-1 in the LSC. SWOSU is last in the LSC in scoring offense, averaging 7.2 points a game. UCO is eighth, averaging 21.2 points a game. UCO averages a total of 356.4 yards a game on offense compared to SWOSU, who sits in last place averaging 190.8 yards a game. "We are better athletes and more talented - plain and simple," Allgood said. Allgood is second in the LSC in passing yards with 215.8 yards a game. UCO running back Seymore Shaw averages 93.6 yards a game and 4.3 yards a carry. Broncho wide receiver Kenneth Shelton averages 5.4 catches a game, and leads the LSC with 130.4 reception yards a game. The Bulldogs are led defensively by former UCO football player Greg Franklin. Franklin is in the top ten in the LSC in total tackles with 35, averaging 8.8 tackles and 2 sacks per game. In Franklin's first game with the Bulldogs he was named LSC defensive player of the week with 14 tackles and two sacks. "A record of 1-4 for UCO is shocking to me," Franklin said. "I know that they have an excellent program, but something's not going right for them. They're going to be hungry for a win just like us. I think we'll
