Election hopefuls debate higher ed at UCO forum Gubernatorial candidates, Regents, presidents & volunteers are among lineup at meeting to discuss future of Oklahoma higher education •

By Roy Howe Staff Writer

ax incentives for businesses which hire Oklahoma graduates, giving the State Regents more decision making abilities and telecommunications are some remedies to the concerns facing higher education according to the state's three gubernatorial candidates. The three candidates, along with a State Regent, college and university presidents, a state volunteer with ties to education one U.S. Senate candidate and two Senate candidate representatives addressed more than 100 people in Ballroom A in the University Center Tuesday evening. Sponsored by The Daily Oklahoman and moderated by Terry Clark, UCO journalism department chairman, the forum was designed to hear the concerns facing the future of higher education by those who work in it. Then, gubernatorial and Senate candidates were given five minutes each to air what they would do to remedy the issues if elected to office. ✓ Freshmen and sophomore classes being taught by graduate students is to blame for many of the students quitting college, said Rubye Hall, a community volunteer. "If we had more real professors teaching smaller freshmen classes, the retention problem would be much less," Hall said. Hall also said Oklahoma doesn't have enough technical jobs with high salaries. To educate students who did not complete high school, or adults who have not entered higher education is a main concern and central mission for Oklahoma State University— Oklahoma City, said Jerrilee K. Mosier, OSU—OKC vice president. "We need more money to do that," Mosier said. "At the two-year level we are all very

September 29, 1994

Busting at the seams, UCO grows up quick rowth. It is classified as the gradual development of maturity. With enrollment topping 16,000, UCO is certainly apt to experience growing pains. Construction and parking woes begin to disappear with the announcement that once again, students are flocking to the little commuter university in Edmond. While the tuition costs are less than the larger universities in Oklahoma, UCO has shown a certain competitiveness to attract the top students around the state. Certain headaches are sure to surface because of the interest in the university, but contingency plans are under way to solve the problems. Look around the campus, and change is evident in order to keep up with these growing pains. The campus bustles in the evenings, an event seldom witnessed even a couple of semesters ago. Students are out and about, which shows the confidence and security of the university's students—and new parking lots are almost filled to capacity. Additions to current structures are already on the blueprints, and the new faculty, ready for the onslaught of new students. These are just a few of the noticeable differences from last semester. With the $52 million Master Plan rolling at full throttle, the only direction to go is up. Change may disrupt many rituals or the direction of most of us, but the consensus is that change is good. Groans have been heard since the beginninb of the summer semester—with construction throwing the university into a temporary quagmire of disgust and disarray. But take heart, the construction is needed to adapt the school for the growing number of students that continue to enroll in this institution of higher learning. A few headaches is the price to be paid for the growth that the university is experiencing. New faces cross our fragmented campus with the hope of starting their future, putting aside the past, dealing with the present. UCO is attempting to build a university that the entire state of Oklahoma can be proud of, and so far, the foundation has OD been laid.

NASA program letter refuted by student

response to Kunga Tshring's letter to the editor in Tuesday's Vista (927), it is an exciting idea to think that our government faked the moon landings in the late '60s and early '70s, simply to procure more funds for the space program. It is also groundless. First, twelve highly educated, highly credible men claim to have walked on the moon. With the exception of Jim Irwin, who died of a heart attack in 1991, all of them are still alive. Fame and fortune have been available for n

over two decades to the one who would step forward and unveil a cover-up. None of them have ever hinted that the moon landings were falsified. (Acted out in a desert of Nevada? Come on!) Next, the feasibility study published in the late '50s gave a moon landing an extremely small success rate. So what? If I had written a paper in 1989 and predicted slim chances for Bill Clinton's bid at the White House, would that negate the fact that he won? Certainly not. In the same way, paper denying the possibil-

ity of a moon landing written before Gagarin even went into space does not shake the foundations of truth in history: Twelve men walked on the moon. To restate, eleven of these men are still alive and completely refute the theory. Next, the feasibility study pre-dated the space age and therefore, lacked the essential experimental data. Kunga, continue to study this subject and you'll see this theory is ridiculous.

ho are these "campus crushers" anyway? They are hard working individuals who take over campus walkways and parking lots with demolition and construction equipment, orange net and yellow-rope fences. They hang signs that read "KEEP OUT," "CAUTION," or "DANGER, KEEP AWAY." Like an invading foreign army, the workers are ordered to take over familiar concrete arteries blockading departmental supply lines, and place barricades in the walkways we once took for granted. They make getting to class a maze of one detour after another. A lone contractor stood guard by a yellow-rope fence during class change one morning. The fence was strategically placed to restrict passage near a construction site, and the worker was

doing his best to stop any intrusion. This was problematic because the site was close to a plywood cattle corral-like walkway, built to provide students a shorter passage to the other side of the campus. The walkway wasn't blocked completely, but a six-inch lip that drops down into the creek bed-like path prevented some of UCO's handicapped students from passing when there was smooth concrete sidewalk not more than 10 feet from the restricted side of the fence. The fence led students around the existing sidewalk and into the grass, over the dirty lip, and down into the sometimes muddy, makeshift walkway. The workers aren't supposed to impede students nor viceversa, but the fences keep popping up in places where nothing is happening.

The fences should protect us from dangerous machines, such as the tyrannosaurus crane that once loomed around the Communications Annex. They should not cut access to out-ofthe-way stretches of campusconnecting sidewalk. The problem resembles cutting too large of a slice of cake. Part of it is eaten and the rest is thrown to waste. If the construction planners would tell their crews to fence off only what they need, there would be no problem. But things won't change fast enough. Workers and students will continue to square off as to whom the campus truly belongs until the work is done and the construction army can go elsewhere to create the chaos that becomes the future. —AnthonyTompkinsIStaff Writer

Flu shots now available from Health Center By Nicki Cormier Staff Writer If you work in a highly populated environment and don't want to risk catching the flu this year, you will be happy to know that the Student Health Center is offering flu shots for students, faculty and staff with a valid ID. Starting Oct. 15 at a cost of $10, the center will give injections 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. MondayFriday. Flu shots are offered every year. "It's a popular service. Some people who are highly susceptible to the flu get two shots during the season one usually in October and the other in January," said Susan LaForge, director of the Student Health Center. "We have 850 flu injections available this year and will be giving them until we run out," said LaForge. Usually health authorities are able to predict when the flu season will hit, LaForge said.

Experts to hold UCO forum addressing Haitian issues By Mike Erwin Staff Writer Four speakers will address the problems involving Haiti in a forum at 11:45 a.m. Friday in the Pegasus Theater. Dr. Marvin Will, retired Lt. Gen. Richard Burpee, Col. Siegfried Heit and Greg Biggs are all experts in their fields, said Dr. Randall Jones, political science chairperson. "This is a good opportunity to find out from experts the nature of the problems in Haiti," said Jones. Will, a political science professor at the University of Tulsa, is a specialist in Caribbean politics. "He knows as much as anybody in the state in terms of Haiti from the political science perspective," said Jones. An acquaintance of Jimmy Carter, Will has served with the former president on election observation missions in Central America. "He volunteered that he would have insights on how Carter operates in this type of setting," said Jones, referring to the last-minute negotiations between Carter and Haitian officials. Burpee was a director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and currently works for UCO as vice president of devel-

opment and community relations. "We selected him for his military experience," said Jones. "He will have the perspective of the military and how an operation like the one in Haiti is executed." Col. Heit, an assistant professor of humanities and philosophy at UCO, serves in the Army Reserve. "He has extensive experience with military and civilian relations and with refugee problems," said Jones. "He's had first-hand experience in handling Cuban refugees and has an understanding of the Haitian refugees." Biggs is director of education and outreach at World Neighbors, a privately funded technical assistance organization. "World Neighbors has been in Haiti since the mid 60s," said Jones. "They've been there longer than any of the other private groups." "He's had close contact with the operations in Haiti and he's familiar with the culture and the problems of ordinary living for the Haitian people." The forum is expected to last until 1 p.m. "I'm real excited about it," said Jones. "I think it will be a terrific opportunity to learn about the situation."

UCO starts 'full participation' in paper recycling program By Julie Dye Staff Writer

In this world of disposable diapers, pens, lighters, razors, well, disposable everything, it's nice to know UCO is attempting to save the planet while saving a few bucks. UCO is now fully participating in the state's closed loop system, which means paper products are picked up from the campus, recycled and sold back at a cut rate in the form of toilet paper and paper towels. Jane Byrum, material control technician in the physical plant's supply area, said the college started recycling paper three years ago, but only white office paper was taken to the mill. "Then we started taking colored paper, and this year, the state came in and said we were large enough to participate fully," Byrum said. Byrum said the recycling has been advantageous for the university. "Toilet tissue or paper towels from recycled product usually costs about $25 a case. To buy them from product that wasn't recycled would cost about $51 a case." But, the real savings lie in waiting for future generations. "The benefits are that you're saving the rain-

forests, you're saving trees and you're saving energy. It takes 73 percent less electricity to make paper from recycled product than from virgin product." Many people, she said, still don't know all that they can recycle. "Newspapers, magazines, window envelopes, books, just about any paper on campus can be recycled," she said. Students may bring old notes, study guides, out-of-date magazines and even junk mail to the blue bins located in each building on campus. The library and admissions office, she said, provide an abundance of material that would otherwise be shredded and thrown away once placed on microfiche. "Our quantities are up to about 2,500 to 3,000 pounds a week," she said. "The first year we started this, we collected 12,000 pounds for the entire year." Byrum said she will even go to a professor's office to pick up confidential papers such as tests, and take them directly to the supply area to shred them before they are recycled. Because the recycling company, the Wisconsin Paper Mill in Muskogee, will not accept food containers, much of the cafeteria's paper is not recycled.

SGA budget makes the grade—finally By David L. Hanigar Staff Writer

On Monday, after two weeks of debate, the Student Government Association (SGA) presented a budget proposal that met with unanimous approval of 35-0. The heat rose about two weeks ago when SGA President Ben Harris presented a budget proposal to a disorganized and argumentative senate. The budget received little debate, however. The main debate was on whether the room full of senator appointees could skip normal procedure and be sworn in early. A week later, the budget committee came back from a four

hour meeting with a proposal that erased several of Harris' ideas from the week before on the basis they were unconstitutional to SGA. It met opposition from several senators and the president, but passed after another debate. This debate was on whether the room full of senator appointees could be sworn in early to participate in the voting. The debate decided the senators would have to wait until near the end of the meeting—after the budget was voted on. After they were sworn in, a motion to reconsider the vote with the input of the new senators surfaced. This time the budget failed approval.

But, Sunday night the budget committee met again. This time with full participation from all who wanted to attend. Arguments and compromises were abundant in the meeting, Harris said. "I feel like that budget satisfies both sides. We all worked together and we gave and took and agreed on something that is both constitutional and will meet the needs of the students," Harris said. Last week's Vista reported that Harris' proposal was changed in part due to unconstitutional violations. Harris disagreed. "The case was that I didn't get to argue my stance on the

The items in question: ✓ Misc. Awards Last year's budget allowed $1,200 for a supplies/misc. awards fund. SGA President Ben Harris cut this to $500 on his earlier proposal because he said too much money was being spent to line the trophy cases of SGA members. This year's budget separated the categories and allowed $500 to misc. awards and $700 to supplies. ✓ Copy Charges Due to SGA renting a copy machine, $1,500 was allotted to this area. Because SGA is bigger than it has been previously, more copies must be made, Harris said. They are only charged approximately one cent per copy, although the rental agreement includes maintenance. ✓ Organization Start-Up Fund Originally, Harris allowed money to give organizations the funds necessary to become

active in the student body. Because there is a fund already available for that in another department, there is not a need for it, Harris said. ✓ Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (OIL) As before, the budget will allow them $800 on the promise they will use this year to achieve independence from SGA, Harris said. Unlike Harris' proposal, College Republicans and Young Democrats will recieve no contribution. Because they can function on their own, Harris said OIL was labeled a priority.

✓ Vice President Recruitment Fund Previously, Harris' proposal for a vice president's contingency was deleted due to a lack of checks and balances. It was agreed that any money spent must be approved by the budget committee, which would be a system of checks and balances in itself. ✓ Office Remodeling The SGA offices will be remodeled to provide additional offices. More offices would allow problems to be addressed quickly by the right people, Harris said.

or the status quo, but look out for the best interest of the student. And if the best interest of the student is in conflict with the rules, then we need to challenge them and get them changed," Harris said about his proposals. But, Harris said he is pleased with the new proposal and does not intend to veto it. "Out of this budget, we'll get everything I wanted. There is an organization start-up fund available, we'll receive a vice president's contingency, OIL will become an independent organization after this year and we're not spending a tremendous amount of money on awards," Harris said.

The issues in question were the organization start-up fund, the money delegated to Young Democrats and Collegiate Republicans and a vice presidents contingency. Despite the budget committee's ruling that the proposals violated SGA guidelines, Harris said he was prepared to take the items in questions before President Nigh.

The UCO Police Department logged the following incidents from September 11 to September 25, 1994.

Pneumonic plague strikes India SURAT, India (AP) — The first cases of pneumonic plague were confirmed outside this stricken city today, more than 700 miles away in the capital, New Delhi. Since the disease broke out in Surat a week ago, at least 52 people have died. The 400,000 residents who fled appear to be spreading it to rural areas of Gujarat state. Meanwhile, in the neighboring state of Maharashtra, another form of the illness — bubonic plague — has spread from villages where it broke out last month to Beed town, officials said. No deaths have been reported, but 90 people with bubonic plague were treated in rural areas, and 31 cases are now in Beed. The first plague cases in India in 30 years were spread by fleas from infected rats or germs from sick people. The pneumonic plague and the bubonic plague — a less deadly form of the disease that ravaged 14th-century Europe and Asia as "the Black Death" — can both be cured with antibiotics. Six people who had fled Surat were recently admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital in New Delhi, and two of them tested positive for pneumonic plague, said a doctor in the control room. At the capital's train stations today, loudspeakers ordered arriving passengers with plague symptoms to report to doctors working there around the clock. Nearby police have been ordered to rush anyone with plague symptoms to the hospital. No cases have been reported, but hundreds of people were asking the doctors questions about the plague.

Sanctions set for Japan if talks fail TOKYO (AP) — Japan and the United States are not likely to hammer out a trade pact before a Friday deadline, Trade Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto said today. "I have no intention of making any new proposals or changing Japan's current position," Hashimoto said only hours before departing for Washington, where he was scheduled to hold talks with Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and U.S. Trade Representative Mickey Kantor. The Clinton administration says failure to reach an agreement in the 15-month-old trade talks by Friday would set the stage for sanctions. The two sides have been holding talks on Japanese government purchases of medical supplies and telecommunications equipment; autos and auto parts; access to Japan's insurance market, and sales of U.S. glass. Hashimoto described the negotiations as bogged down, with both sides unmoving. If the talks fail, it will be the second time this year the two countries have been unable to meet U.S.-set deadlines for reaching accords meant to reduce Japan's $60 billion trade surplus with the United States.

Attacks kill twelve in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Twelve people were killed by rocket attacks today in a western suburb of Kabul where rival Shiite Muslims have been fighting nearly two weeks. The victims included four medical students who died when a military hospital was hit. An additional 106 people were wounded in the attacks near the capital, officials at several hospitals said. Hundreds of rockets rained down on the western suburb as presidential troops pounded positions of Hezb-e-Wahadat near Kabul University, where 10 teachers were killed three days earlier. Since Sept. 15, Hezb-e-Wahadat, a mostly Shiite Muslim party, has been battling forces loyal to rival Shiites of Harakat-e-Islami. President Burhanuddin Rabbani has deployed his soldiers to help Harakat forces against Wahadat troops, who are supported by Rabbani's archenemy, Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. Rabbani and Hekmatyar have been fighting for power since throwing out the communists from Kabul in April 1992.

WWII leaves void on campus, not in he arts How the war affected the women & men of Central State College By Sheila Nunnelee COLUMN

Homecoming was not celebrated that year. No Bronze Book was published and men's sports became non-existent, leaving women in the spotlight. 1943, in the middle of World War H, was a difficult year for many students. The Vista's headlines from the late '40s show club meetings, announcements, and the loss of young lives that had once attended what was then, Central State College (CSC). The women had a special role on campus, by being involved in campus activities and sports, representing CSC alone. The emptiness of the students gone

from campus caused morale to be low, and many things were different. The Bronze Book was not published because of the lack of students interested in buying one. Students and cadets would have "gettogethers" and dances each week to boost their spirits. Many of the young people fell in love, only to have the cadet leave and send many treasured love letters. Students who lived in the dormitories on campus had to move and find places to live wherever they could. Their moving out was to make room in Thatcher and Murdaugh residence halls for the soldiers coming in to be trained at the Naval Aviation Cadet Training School, which started in March of 1943 on campus. Cadets were taught Navy flight training and were also trained as clerical workers. New courses like civilian defense, first aid, military programs in flight training, aircraft inspection, and auxiliary officer's training were added to the schedule. The terms were shortened and the regu-

lar four-year course could be completed in three years. The students, then called " entralites," joined all branches of the service and earned many medals. Women also joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corp, WAVES and Spars (the women's Coast Guard). According to a 1948 Vista article about a celebration called Victory Day, a total of more than 1,100 men and 76 women served around the world in WWII, and almost 70 men were killed in the service. The article talks of the "stilled and solemn atmosphere instead of gaiety" when the announcement was made that the war was over. The relief must have been an incredible release for the students who had families and friends gone so far from home. The next Bronze Book was published in 1948, and was full of pictures of life at CSC that had gone back to normal. The loss was great, but the strength of the students' youth pushed them forward into the '50s.

Howard's career spans the spectrum Ups and downs mark 18-year tenure By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

Maybe it is something in the water, but the University of Arkansas has produced some of the most decorated football coaches at the college level. From Barry Switzer to Jimmy Johnson and Ken Hatfield. All of the above have gone on to great success after Arkansas. One name rarely tossed about in the aforementioned group is that of Gary Howard, currently rewriting the record books as head coach at Central Oklahoma. Howard played for Arkansas in 1960-63 and coached as a graduate assistant in 1964. Gary Howard's 18 year roller coaster ride as head coach of the Bronchos football team has been extreme to say the least. Since taking over as the head man at UCO in 1977, Howard has seen a national championship in 1982, a winless 0-10-1 season in 1989 and last weekend's coaching milestone, becoming the second coach in school history to reach 100 career victories. "It feels good to get it (100 wins) under our belts and behind us," said Howard. "The players were wanting it real bad, we all were." It is only a matter of time before Howard reaches another milestone. Currently he is six victories shy of overtaking C.W. Wantland, 105-45-17 in 18 years, as UCO's winningest coach. Howard, 52, was a standout player for Tulsa Central in high school, earning All-State honors as a senior. He then went on to play collegiately at UA, helping the team win one Southeastern Conference title and two Sugar Bowl titles.

Central Oklahoma Head Coach Gary Howard discusses strategy with members of the offensive unit during Saturday's game with Langston. (Staff photo by Chris Smith) Howard began his coaching career in 1964 as a graduate assistant on the ' 64 Arkansas national champion team. He then returned to Oklahoma, spending two years as an assistantcoach at Del City High School. "I was married and had a family, it was time to get a job and go to work," said Howard. In 1967 Howard left the high school ranks, serving as defensive coordinator for Northeastern Oklahoma A&M's national championship team. The following year Howard came to Central Okla-

"Basically, you're going to remember the good times," said Howard. "Reaching the playoffs, making some nice trips. The '79 team was the first team that made it to the playoffs and had a great game. We didn't win, but it was a big game, it was on television." The 1979 Bronchos made it all the way to the NAIA championship, losing to future LSC rival Texas A&M-Kingsville 20-14. In 1982 Howard was named NAIA National Coach of the Year after winning the national championship, defeating Mesa State 1411 at Wantland Stadium. Howard guided the Bronchos to playoff appearances in 1979, '82, `83, '85, making it to the quarterfinals in 1983 and '85 "In that era in the middle '80s we had some outstanding teams here," he said. Amidst all his personal accolades where does last wekends 100 win milestone rank for the humble coach? "At the time it was a big victory for us," said Howard. "It is just another step this season, the important time is coming up right now going into conference." It took 47 years for UCO to have another 100-win coach and the first one got a stadium named after him. What lies ahead for this soon to be fabled coach? "I've coached at pretty much all levels, I have always been very happy being around football," said Howard. "I'm real happy where I am from a coaching standpoint."

homa, taking over the defensive coordinator duties. Nine years later he was named head coach of the Bronchos upon retirement of Phil Ball. "Football just became a big part of my life when I was growing up and in high school. I of course went on to college to play," said Howard. "You become pretty involved in the sport and you want to continue to be involved and coaching is the way to do it." As a coach Gary Howard has seen football evolve for 30 years. "The biggest thing that has

changed I've noticed, is the size and speed of the athletes. Very few teams had the big strong athletes we have today," said Howard. "There is not a lot of difference other than that." Currently ranked 17th in career victories among active Division II coaches, Howard has coached 32 All-Americans as UCO's head coach and eight All-Americans as UCO's defensive coordinator. Under Coach Howard, six Bronchos have gone on to play in the National Football League. "From the coaching aspects of it, we've had some great times and I've been very fortunate to be with some good players wherever I've been," said Howard. Though Howard has coached many talented players, he is hesitant to single out any one player or team that is special. "I really hate to single out just one like that. It is tough to do that, I mean it all changes," said Howard. "I think there are some excellent players right here at this point in time." One player that does stand out to Howard is former Broncho tailback Steve Tate (1977-80). Tate is UCO's career rushing leader. "He was such an outstanding player here," said Howard. "I guess he stood out because he was one of the first players I signed to a letter of intent when I became head coach back in 1977."

Tough LSC opener faces 4-0 Bronchos By Jimmy Hyde Sports Writer

By Mike Erwin Staff Writer

•

The UCO soccer club struggled in its last games, with both the men and women losing indoor matches at Chico's Soccer Villa. • The Brotherhood blanked the UCO men, 6-0, Sept. 25. The loss broke a two-game win, ning streak for the Bronchos, 2-2, and was the first time they've been shut out this season. "They outplayed us. They were faster than us, and very talented," said Daneshfar. "They are definitely one of the best teams in the league." The Bronchos face Classic in their next indoor match at 8 p.m. Oct. 2. Strengthened by varsity players from Oklahoma Christian College, Yucatan beat UCO's women's team 5-1, Sept. 22. Angie Lute, UCO's leading scorer, netted her fifth goal of the season to pull UCO within 3-1. With the indoor season half • complete, UCO's record is 0-3-1. Next up for the women's team is a match tonight with the Innhilators at 8 p.m. While the soccer club was unsuccessful in indoor matches, the men did manage to win an outdoor exhibition game Sept. 22. The Bronchos beat PUMAS 20 on the UCO campus. The victory avenged an earlier 5-0 loss to PUMAS, a team from the Central Oklahoma Adult Soccer League.

UCO players gather LSC awards Central Oklahoma running back Joe Aska was named Lone Star Conference offensive player of the week for his record setting performance against Langston Saturday. Aska rushed for 312 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries fora new UCO single game record. UCO defensive back Elton Rhoades grabbed the LSC defensive honors. Rhoades collected eight tackles, four unassisted and

broke up four passes. Rhoades also returned a 49-yard interception for a touchdown. UCO's Carrie Hare received player of the week honors in volleyball. Hare had 51 kills in five matches last week with 17 blocks and 51 digs.

The undefeated 10th ranked Central Oklahoma Bronchos come into this Saturday's battle with the 3-1 13th ranked East Texas State University Lions with a much needed wave of momentum. The game will kick off Lone Star Conference play at Wantland Stadium. Both UCO and ETSU are corning off big victories last weekend, the Bronchos burying Langston 38-10 and ETSU upsetting NCAA Division 1-AA Northwestern State (La.) 28-24 on the road. The Lions return 11 starters from last year's 5-6 squad that defeated the Bronchos 30-27. This season the Lions bring in a powerhouse team that will give the Bronchos their first test of the year. ETSU enters the game with an offense led by junior quarterback Chandler Evans who leads the LSC in both passing and total offense. Evans' as completed 69 of 116 passes for 854 yards, averaging 213.5 yards a game. He has thrown for seven touchdowns with only one interception. Evans also averages 203.5 yards a game in total offense. As a team, ETSU averages

343.8 yards in total offense with 116.0 rushing and 227.8 passing. On defense the Lions give up a league best 239.5 yards a game, 85.0 rushing and 154.8 passing. Last week the Lions held Northwestern to 119 yards on 38 carries, holding opponents to just 2.1 yards an attempt this season. After last week's 100th career victory, UCO Head Coach Gary Howard is not content to rest on his laurels. "We can't dwell on what we've done to this point because it means nothing," said Howard. "It's a new season now that we are getting into the conference part of our schedule and the competition level really jumps from here on out." "East Texas again has a really talented team and we'll have to play better than we have to this point," said Howard. UCO back-up tailback Karl Myles is doubtful after reinjuring his ribs in last week's Langston game. Linebacker Blaine S torts will be back full speed for the ETSU game after playing sparingly last week, recovering from a knee injury. Defensive tackle Travis Hildebrand (ankle) will return after missing the Langston contest. Howard is 3-10 lifetime against East Texas State. Game time will be 1 p.m. Saturday at Wantland Stadium.

Kaleidoscope dancers keep in step with guest artist By Paul Eddy Staff Writer

UCO Kaleidoscope dancer Laura Herrington and guest artist Holly Williams practice technique for a routine. Williams visited from Dallas to help the dancers rehearse. (Staff Photo by Christopher Smith)

It was Friday, and the dancers were practicing their routine one last time with the visiting Holly Williams, a guest artist of UCO's Kaleidoscope Dance Company. Williams is from Dallas, but has performed in New York City, Washington D. C., Paris, Vienna, Barcelona and throughout Belgium. She has worked with Mikhail Baryshnikov and internationally acclaimed choreographer Mark Morris. Williams took a break from dance recently due to the arrival of her first child a little over a year ago. The dancers gathered, laughing, talking and waiting. Some were practicing and warming up. They seemed comfortable with each other, almost like siblings in a moment of common spirit. Time came for rehearsal to begin, the dancers divided into groups, one nearly full, and the other not quite half. Williams started to talk them through the steps, concentrating on the fuller group. The smaller group echoed with laughter as they attempted to emu-

off, and the music comes on. Spike Jones, a comic performer of the '40s, is the choice and the dancers become intent, although laughter is still prevalent. Everything begins to fall in place as the groups perform to the music. Over and over with the music they performed, stopping and starting. A small break occurred as two dancers received the exclusive attention of Williams. The dancers divided, each practicing steps of their favorite forms. Then the respite ended and it was rehearsal time again. The full group prepared to give it their all as they readied themselves to perform for the camera, they joke a little and then it was time. Nine minutes later the dance was over, ending with applause and congratulations amongst the dancers. It was time to say goodbye, good-bye to Williams, goodbye to Rose, but not to practice. They left_each going their own way, but they would be back in the same room the next week, sans Williams and Rose, but with a reminder of both in the dance Love—o—Roma.

late the other group. The full group and Williams picked their way through the dance, correcting steps as they went. The only sound was the laughter and scuffle of moving bodies. "Good," emphasized Williams at the end of a successful combination. This was her third time at UCO, and her first time with her daughter Rose. The year-old toddler tagged along as her mother corrected a dancer's position. Williams stepped on a stool to get a better look at the spinning forms of the dancers, giving them advice on where their focus should be. "If you actually look at your hand, you know what happens? You get cross-eyed, look past your hand." Laughter sounded as one of the dancers demonstrated. Two dancers walk in late, one coming from a voice lesson and the other because of his birthday. "Happy Birthday Troy!" sounds out loudly as the dancers chorus together for one of their own. Rehearsal resumed as the two latecomers joined the smaller group. Moans issued forth as legs folded over heads. Sweatshirts come

THE VISTA

THE CHURCH Sometime Anywhere

MART, ofRoisit41 The Church

Thee Hypnotics

he Church, arguably Australia's best export since Fosters, is back with their ninth record, Sometime Anywhere. When Peter Koppes left the band, many Church devotees worried the band would not survive. Scaled down to a two piece, remaining members Steve Kilbey and Marty Wilson-Piper succeed in making the best Church record in some time. Continuing in the vein of 1992's Priest=Aura, Sometime Anywhere ditches the pop sheen of those stunning records of the '80s for a more experimental approach. Only two songs retain that Church 12-string shimmer of the past. A lot of the record wallows in spacey Pink Floyd ca. 1968 territory evident in the epic "Fly Home." The songs are long, providing guitarist Wilson-Piper a chance to stretch out, making this the most guitar friendly Church record. The band is not at all phased by the departure of guitarist, founder Koppes. The new record seems to be a more harmonious record than the last two releases. The Church seem to have accepted the fact that they will never be big stars, now they are making records for themselves. (Arista)

THEE HYPNOTICS The Very Crystal Speed Machine

The Flaming Lips

Husker Du

Shoes

f Iggy Pop fronted the Stones around the Exile On Main St. record you would have Thee Hypnotics. Often slagged off as a MC5 wanna-be band, Thee Hypnotics go way beyond that. Take the Stooges, the MC5 throw in some Coltrane and Hendrix and you have the sonic menu of Thee Hypnotics. In these four Brits Detroit 1969 lives on! This the band's third full length, combines the best sounds of their Live' r Than God ep and their last studio effort Soul, Glitter and Sin. These guys believe in rock and roll in the grand tradition. I bet if you kicked them in the stomach they would vomit rock and roll. Produced by Christopher Robinson of The Black Crowes, The Very Crystal Speed Machine is a heavy record in the way that Zeppelin was heavy, mixing musical styles to create one of the most rounded records in

some time and the best record in their history. Thee Hypnotics are rock and roll. They have already had an overdose in the band, a tour ending bus wreck and had legendary drummer of The Damned, Rat Scabies fill in at a few shows for the injured Phil Smith. The most inspiring moments of The Very Crystal Speed Machine are the bourbon soaked nightclub chill of "Caroline Inside Out" and "Fragile." Thee Hypnotics are the reigning high priests of psychedelic/garage rock. Forget The Lyres, Thee Hypnotics are so cool they get two e's in their name. (American)

THE FLAMING LIPS Providing Needles For Your Balloons

at more can be said about this band? an They are unequivocally one of the most underrated bands of modem times—and the best thing to come out of Oklahoma since the Selmon brothers. This is not really a new record, but it contains one new song„ "Bad Days," a Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys sound alike. The rest of this stuff comes from demos, compilation tracks and live material. Finally some of this stuff is getting released to the public. "Jets Part 2," recorded, I believe, for an industry sampler in "92 is one of their best moments and I don't think I could have made through last Christmas without my cassette of The Lips' "Little Drummer Boy," included here. These guys should be huge and most current alternative bands owe them a debt of gratitude for their work in the '80s. The Lips are legends on the same level as Sonic Youth. Eight rarities from The Flaming Lips are better than most bands' new records, making this a nice compliment to an already brilliant catalogue. (Warner Bros.)

HUSKER DU The Living End

usker Du along with The Replacements and R.E.M. were it in the '80s. These were the bands you listened to back when it was college rock and music was cool.

PAGE

Husker Du split in 1987, leaving behind a musical legacy of epic proportion. Zen Arcade and New Day Rising are classics. So here you have it, 24 live tracks from the Huskers, recorded on their final tour. For those that never saw Husker Du live it was an experience. This record should bring back a lot of memories. The sound quality is amazing for a live recording. Opening with "New Day Rising," The Living End reaches all they way back to Land Speed Record giving the listener a good overview of the band's career. Some of the live versions improve on the originals. The Living End features a killer unreleased song, "Now That You Know Me" sung by Grant Hart. And the must have version of the Ramones "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker." In fact this is the best live record since the Ramones "It's Alive" from 1978. Obviously Husker Du has moved on to bigger things, but there was something really special about Husker Du that neither Hart nor Mould could create on their own. (Warner Bros.)

. SHOES Propeller

he legendary Shoes are back with their first record since 1990's critically acclaimed Stolen Wishes record. Propeller is. the best Shoes record since 1981's Tongue Twister, featuring all the trademark workings of the band superior musicianship, gorgeous three-part harmonies and melodic pop songs. The musical climate has not been this sympathetic to the Shoes cause in a long time. With the success of bands like The Posies, Matthew Sweet and Jellyfish, the pop sound is gaining popularity again. Shoes are one of the elite American pop groups along with Big Star, Dwight Willey and The Raspberries. Their influence can be heard all over many of today's groups. Two bands that call Shoes an influence, Velvet Crush and Material Issue loaned out their drummers for the recording of Propeller. Ric Menck(VC) and Mike Zelenko(MI) each take six songs ion the record. This really is a brilliant record and deserves to be heard. (Black Vinyl)
