eight seasons since joining the LSC in 1988. All of those losses have been to East Texas who own the series with a 10-4 mark.
Statistically, The numbers were close. The Lions outgained the Bronchos 325-319 in total yards and 154-140 in passing yards. The Bronchos had a slight edge in rushing yards with 179-171. Both teams combined for 35 first downs (18 for ETSU, 17 for UCO).
But the intangibles say the Bronchos could have won.
The "intangibles" refers to scoring chances which the Bronchos had plenty of.
UCO's first possession of the game would serve as a preface to the story that would be told at Memorial Stadium.
The Bronchos drove from their 43 to the Lion 25 on a 33- yard run by Jubarko Gains on that first possession but turned the ball over on downs four plays and no yards later.
While UCO's defense held the ETSU attack at bay in that first half (just 122 total yards) the Bronchos moved across country
UCO would move into Lion territory again on their next possession, going 50 yards in 6 plays capped by a 12-yard pass from quarterback Stanley Pena to split end Chris Gillispie. The Point-after gave UCO a 7-0 lead
with 5:30 left in the first quarter.
On their fourth possession of the half, UCO had a first-andgoal situation at the Lion five but could only get as far as the three. Thomas Weaver then missed a 20-yard field goal.
On the Bronchos fifth and sixth possessions of the half they reached the 40 and the 24 of the Lions before fumbling and turning the ball over on downs respectively.
The UCO defense recorded points when linebacker Terry Bell blocked a Lion punt inside the ETSU 10-yard line. The ball went out of the end zone and UCO held 9-0 lead with 11:40 left in the first half.
ETSU didn't really start moving the ball effectively until mid-way through the second _period when backup quarterback Cole Cayce replaced starter Chandler Evans and drove the Lions 75 yards in nine plays to cut the Broncho - lead to 9-7 by halftime.
The Lions would alternate Evans and Cacey for the rest of the game which proved effective.
The Lions would drive 65 yards on their first possession of the second half and 73 yards on their third possession to score a touchdown and a field goal respectively. ETSU had a 17-9 lead with 14:40 left in the game.

Lady Bronchos back on track
By Scott Moore
Sports Writer
It has not been a championship season so far for the Central Oklahoma volleyball team.
The Lady Bronchos, 32-5 a year ago and defending Lone Star Conference champs and preseason favorites to win it again, have not been above .500 all season. In fact, prior to a Sept. 26 match with Texas Woman's University the Lady Bronchos had not won more than two straight matches and had been on losing streaks of three and four matches.
But UCO beat Texas Woman's that night 15-6, 15-9, 16-14 in Denton, Texas and proceeded to keep winning.
Friday, the Lady Bronchos trounced Texas A&M-Kingsville 15-8, 15-2, 15-8 then swept East Texas State Saturday 15-10, 15- 10, 15-12. Both matches were at Hamilton Field House.
The Lady Bronchos are now 9-10 overall and 3-2 in the Conference. They have won five straight matches and 15 straight games. "The Texas Woman's match was a big win for us because that was the first time that we had ever beat them at their place," said UCO head coach Mark Herrin. "That gave us a lot of momentum going into the weekend. "Texas A&M-Kingsville has traditionally been in the cellar of the conference so we had to be mentally prepared to avoid a let down. And East Texas was the team that we beat in the conference finals last year so we new it would be a tough match and our kids responded and beat them in three. "I think we are on the right track as far as playing the way we are capable of playing. We were 3-2 (in the conference) at this time last year so the girls are certainly thinking that we can win this thing."
Herrin cited the injury to senior setter Amy Hansen as one of the reasons for the Lady Bronchos early season woes. "Having Amy injured (ankle sprain) in the first match threw everything off," said Herrin. "There is so much timing involved in volleyball, especially between the setter and the hitter, that it took time to recover from the injury. "When we finally got Amy Back after two weeks it was like being at ground zero at that point, and unfortunately we had already played 14 matches. We
"We are just now starting to get into sync and Amy is at 100

Hop on Motorcycle with three professors for philosophical trip to self-discovery
International office solicits ideas on forums
By Susan Reger Staff Writer
Peek into Room 205 in the Liberal Arts Building every Monday afternoon at 2:40 p.m. and watch an animated group of students and three professors pondering the world of ideals vs. the world of matter.
The class is on a journey of discovery and inquiry into metaphysical systems, contemporary issues in Western culture, personal identity and interpersonal relationships.
On occasion, one will witness what Dr. James Mock, assistant professor of humanities/philosophy calls the "Oh, wow!" reaction from the students.
You have just taken a turn into one of this fall's philosophy classes, based on the book by Motorcycle Maintenance, led by Mock and co-taught by philosophy professors Dr. Stephen Law and Dr. Eva Dadlez.
Students in this class won't learn to change a spark plug or become experts in eastern philosophy, said Mock.
The book takes the students on the pilgrimage of the protagonist, who has just suffered from a nervous -breakdown and decides to ride his motorcycle from Minneapolis to the West Coast, mulling over "dangerous" philosophical questions in relation to Western civilization.
The book is presumably an autobiographical account of the experiences of Pursig, who was in search of the ideas or elements that drove him mad in the first place.
On the journey, he works out the integration and balance of self in relation to his inner and outer world, said Mock.
Law said Pursig's ponderings are largely viewed through his own inner dialogue or chautauqua, the "running voice in all our heads."
Why do we think the way we do in western civilization?
Why do we value what we do?
Why have we come to accept reason itself as our surest guide through life?
Law said Pursig's protagonist asks himself whether there are alternative guides, such as a life that is founded on concepts of quality, excellence and virtue.
In other words, the use of rationality is not exclusive, he said.
The journey, according to and acquisition of knowledge. "Philosophy courses increase

a student's skills in logical, critical thinking, which , he considers to be life- enhancing, a big real-world payoff," said Mock.
The three philosophy professors are determined to enhance student interest in the world of philosophical thinking.
Each semester, one "off the wall" philosophy course is offered on such topics as honor and gnosticism.
Next semester, Dadlez will lead the trio in a course called "Visions of Dystopia," which will include readings from
Brave New World, 1984 and The Handmaid's Tale.
Technically, the three faculty
Robert Pursig, Zen and the Art of
members are not paid to teach this particular class, but they
work it into their schedule because they enjoy it and want to promote student interest.
What spurs these professors on is the desire to inspire students to take a voyage through the world of reason, metaphysics, intellectual speculation, illusion and
Dadlez, ends as the protagonist moves towards cohesion of self r philosophical questions.

Last week's discussion of the problems of the Balkan region proved to be so popular with students that the International Office has decided to do more of these forums, said Jalal Daneshfar, activities coordinator at the International Office. "We believe that discussions of this sort are beneficial, they are a good source of exchange between the students and the community. International students enjoy having the opportunity to participate," Daneshfar said "The International Office would like to encourage students and members of the community to contact them and let them know what kind of discussions they would be interested in."
Daneshfar said the office is open to all suggestions, and would be willing to put on more political forums, or life cultural and social situation discussions.
For more information, call Daneshfar, at 341-2980 Ext. 2377.
